| pm2 | Hi - I'm using Fiesty, trying to get a bluetooth adapter working. When I plug it in, a message pops up from the "KDE Bluetooth Framework" saying, "Failed to connect to the SDP server. Please make sure that sdpd is running; without it, other devices will not be able to find out which services your computer offers." Any idea on how to fix this? | 00:00 |
| charles87 | arizalord: doesn't work from the menu? | 00:00 |
| mike__ | Ryan: no, just firefox and evolution | 00:00 |
| arizalord | charles87, thx! | 00:00 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: OK, but that doesn't say anything about it being 802.11abg or using security such as WPA tkip/ccm AES or WEP | 00:00 |
| RyanPrior | mike__: Does it still happen if you don't have Evolution open? | 00:00 |
| mike__ | Ryan: and this IRC of course | 00:00 |

| mike__ | Ryan: Didn't try it. I'll close it now. | 00:01 |
| prakriti | but after I reboot if fails again | 00:01 |
| hanophix33 | thats the problem | 00:01 |
| hanophix33 | DJcabz: I couldnt even see the SSID | 00:01 |
| gyaresu | !nvidia | prakriti | 00:01 |
| ubotu | prakriti: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:01 |
| Loady | hi I've just upgraded to the newest ati drivers and i cant get 1400x1050 res to work on my laptop. i have mode "1400x1050" defined and it worked with earier drivers. I have not changed my xorg.conf. | 00:01 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: the page you are talking about is fairly standard with wireless AP going through some type of authentication manager. it recognizes your MAC and whether you have permission to be on the network... | 00:01 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: so UBUNTU shouldnt have a problem | 00:02 |
| mike__ | Ryan: I have another user running it too. I'll have to close here and switch over. | 00:02 |
| prakriti | thanks ubotu | 00:02 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: why doesnt the SSID come up? | 00:02 |
| fallore | is there any way i can have numlock automatically turned on when linux boots? | 00:02 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: good point. that is what I find odd and that is why I had my doubt I will be able to help you... | 00:02 |
| OD810 | arizalord: are you with the latest ATI driver? | 00:02 |
| shadix | XBehave: nvm i got that fixed | 00:02 |
| angel__ | how can i check if i have LVM? | 00:02 |
| gyaresu | prakriti: ubotu is a bot that is used to repeat factoids !factoids | 00:02 |
| Stwange | I get an I/O error when trying to empty my wastebasket, any idea how I can purge any corrupt items? | 00:02 |
| prakriti | uhm no | 00:02 |
| OD810 | arizalord: there's a bug with the new driver, it's only work with 1280x1024 max resolution | 00:02 |
| gyaresu | !factoids | 00:03 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: school hasnt technically started yet so I thought maybe the university shut its wireless network down | 00:03 |

| toni_ | how to get the fs uid for fstab? | 00:03 |
| gyaresu | prakriti: What do you need then? | 00:03 |
| prakriti | ubuntu's restricted driver manager installs a driver thats too old for the 8800gt | 00:03 |
| Loady | OD810: Thanks. :) | 00:03 |
| arizalord | yes, everything runs nice.. but not my resolution! | 00:03 |
| prakriti | i need to install it from nvidia and have it stick | 00:03 |
| speedbird | can anyone suggest me some good messenger other then pidgin .. i want to use msn and gtalk | 00:03 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: with this type of network, they should have a typical wireless network which than requires a thirdparty authorization right | 00:03 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: that is where I was going. do you know whether the network was up? usually university don't shut them down... | 00:03 |
| Loady | arizalord: i have the same issue, i cant use 1400x1050 | 00:03 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: What's the problem with pidgin? | 00:03 |
| arizalord | OD810, 1280x768 to? | 00:03 |
| arizalord | OD810, 1280x768 too? | 00:03 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: It's included by default because it's the best for most purposes. | 00:03 |
| speedbird | feisty ~! cant install | 00:04 |
| angel__ | how can i check if i have LVM? | 00:04 |
| XBehave | speedbird: you can do that with pidgin, kopete is good but its kde, ive also use sim | 00:04 |
| OD810 | arizalord: i reckon we should revert to the older driver | 00:04 |
| Johnny_5 | but i find it to be abit buggy myself | 00:04 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: exactly... | 00:04 |
| gyaresu | prakriti: Are you up to date? What version are you wanting to install? | 00:04 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I am not sure. We are on winter break until monday and no one is on campus really, So i though this might be a possibility | 00:04 |
| OD810 | arizalord: http://www.livibetter.com/blog/2007/12/24/i-lost-1680x1050-resolution-with-fglrx-84431/ check this | 00:04 |
| inertial | OD810: you think it's a driver bug stopping us from getting to 1680x1050? | 00:04 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior i have 7.04 | 00:04 |
| OD810 | inertial: it's a known bug | 00:04 |
| gyaresu | prakriti: nvidia-glx is 1.0.9639 | 00:04 |
| Johnson_ | when u purge a package what exactly does that do | 00:04 |
| prakriti | gyaresu : the latest 169.07 | 00:04 |
| Johnson_ | !purge | 00:04 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about purge - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:04 |

| Fraser | I run mIRC on my windows partition and connect to a server and it has encryption and i use the Fish addon, Can i use such an Addon in linux. I am thinking of ditching windows altogether. | 00:05 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: try install kismet and playing with that. under Ubuntu it is extremely easy to install and play with. | 00:05 |
| inertial | OD810: got a link? | 00:05 |
| prakriti | they just added 8800gt support in the newest release | 00:05 |
| prakriti | not supported in ubuntu | 00:05 |

| prakriti | as I said I can install it with their install and it works | 00:05 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: so you think that UBUNTU could handle this autorization on monday? | 00:05 |

| prakriti | but as soon as I reboot it gets crunched | 00:05 |
| flamsmark | how can i get my hardware raid controler to work? | 00:05 |
| prakriti | i think the driver isn't going into the initrd | 00:05 |
| inertial | OD810: damn i bought an ati because i thought they'd have better drivers | 00:05 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior : can you tell me is there any way i can see display pictures of my msn friends and sort them by their status without those categories ? | 00:05 |
| toni_ | inertial, too late | 00:06 |
| XBehave | fallore: yes well kde can so there must be a way to do it in gaim | 00:06 |
| gyaresu | prakriti: Well you can install the driver manually but will probably have problems next time you upgrade. | 00:06 |
| XBehave | *gnome | 00:06 |
| prakriti | so i should look to see how to rebuild that | 00:06 |
| prakriti | gyaresu : yes i know, but thats fine | 00:06 |
| fallore | XBehave: gaim? i mean linux in general for login | 00:06 |
| OD810 | inertial: not for now | 00:06 |
| prakriti | its better than not having a working system now | 00:06 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: yes. unless they are using WPA :) then you have to get WPA working first... | 00:06 |
| inertial | OD810: does the open source driver work at that resolution? | 00:06 |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| RyanPrior | speedbird: Buddies -> Sort buddies -> By status | 00:06 |
| OD810 | inertial: you mean Mesa? | 00:06 |
| prakriti | anybody remember the ocmmand to rebuild that | 00:06 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: Ive tried everything to get WPA on my network working....no luck, so i switched to WEP which messed up my whole situation unfortunately | 00:06 |
| XBehave | speedbird: i know kopete can do that but i think pidgin can too | 00:06 |

| angel__ | what file system should i use for a new hardrive that will store media files? | 00:07 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: what type of wireless adapter do you have? | 00:07 |
| inertial | OD810: is that what the open source ati driver is called? | 00:07 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: how can i find that out? | 00:07 |
| gyaresu | prakriti: Did you see the "See Also" link at the bottom of BindaryDriverHotto/Nvidia ? | 00:07 |
| Pici | angel__: ext3 is fine | 00:07 |
| XBehave | is it possible to run make modules (but for only one module) | 00:07 |
| tomas_ | Anyone have just the name of a GUI to manage mounts and etc.? :) | 00:07 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior i have done that already but still i see those categories :s plus the display picture is not visible to me :( | 00:07 |
| fallore | is there any way i can have numlock automatically turned on when linux boots? | 00:07 |
| angel__ | Pici, awseome! thanks | 00:07 |
| dox | i hate this TV oout shit | 00:08 |
| fallore | or can someone tell me how to obtain numlockx? | 00:08 |
| dox | -.- | 00:08 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: I don't know if Gaim has the pictures, but I thought that it did. | 00:08 |
| inertial | OD810: does setting the modeline work to fix it? it says it's a workaround.. | 00:08 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: To get rid of the categories, just lump everybody together into one big category. | 00:08 |
| angel__ | goddman gparted is a freaking awesome tool! i paid $80 for partition magic on M$ Windoze | 00:08 |
| speedbird | is there any other messenger which support display pictures ? | 00:08 |
| OD810 | inertial: havent tried yet, might try it now | 00:08 |
| eltux | I am installing ubuntu on the pc next to me with the alternative cd and its hanging at the Select and install software part at 6%. The cd's checksum is correct and there are no defects on it. so now what do I do? | 00:09 |
| djcabz | ohh k... hanophix33, try lspci | grep -i wireless | 00:09 |
| misha | hi | 00:09 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Is there an option to do safe mode install or run other options? | 00:09 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior ... thats ok categories are no big issue but display picture is ... any other messenger ? | 00:09 |
| Johnny_5 | how old is the comp you're tryin' the insatll on? | 00:09 |
| iN00DLE | skype supports cams, but it isn't a real IM, speedbird | 00:09 |
| misha | guys i have a question on wireless lan card on my laptop | 00:09 |
| eltux | gyaresu: you mean at the beginning like you can select boot options? | 00:10 |
| angel__ | Johnny_5, better Q is what are the specs | 00:10 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: You could try downloading Pidgin as a .deb file. I'm sure that pidgin does the display pictures. | 00:10 |
| gyaresu | eltux: aye. noacpi usually sorts that problem for old machines. | 00:10 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: Intersil Corporation Prism 2.5 Wavelan chipset | 00:10 |
| gyaresu | !ask > misha | 00:10 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior ... i tried that but it wont install :( | 00:10 |
| flamsmark | when i sudo dmraid -ay, , i get 'ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel' | 00:10 |
| Johnny_5 | angel__:ah...true...that's kinda what i was gettin' at | 00:10 |
| arizalord | nickrud, thx for the ATI driver how-to... but did you have problems with screen resolution? | 00:10 |
| eltux | so I just add noacpi to the end of the boot options gyaresu? | 00:10 |
| misha | well i have an LG s1 express dual | 00:10 |
| gyaresu | eltux: aye. | 00:11 |
| flamsmark | when i sudo dmraid -ay, , i get 'ERROR: device-mapper target type "raid45" not in kernel' does this mean that i need to change my kernel? | 00:11 |
| angel__ | so no one one knows how can i check if i have LVM? | 00:11 |
| nickrud | arizalord, no, it found my lcd screen fine | 00:11 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: Well, you could try KDE's Kopete, or aMSN (only does MSN though), or you could run a Windows version through Wine. | 00:11 |
| eltux | okay, I'll tell you what happens gyaresu | 00:11 |
| empath1999 | does anyone know how I can get my Creative X-Fi working under Ubuntu 7.10 32 bit? | 00:11 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: start here... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140836 | 00:11 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: I'm inclined to advise you to upgrade to 7.10 or just do without the little pictures, thoug. | 00:11 |
| juliocr28 | hello | 00:11 |
| misha | the problem is (well i didn't find any answer on it in the web) that my wireless card is turned on by FN key (hardware i mean) i have dual boot so when in windows (xp) i turn my wireless off - i can't turn it on in ubunt , and vise a versa | 00:11 |
| arizalord | nickrud, do you know how i can change my resolution? | 00:11 |
| OD810 | inertial: it worksssssss | 00:11 |
| hebbe | hi what is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit version ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| OD810 | inertial: the modelines thing works | 00:12 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: thats for WPA right? | 00:12 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior tell me 7.10 have pidgin builtin ? | 00:12 |
| nickrud | arizalord, does system->prefs>screen res help? | 00:12 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: uh... don't know :) just goggled it :) | 00:12 |
| RyanPrior | hebbe: The 64 bit version allows you to have a larger address space, allowing large files and streams to be processed more effectively. | 00:12 |
| PriceChild | speedbird, yes | 00:12 |
| empath1999 | hebbe: 64 bit takes advantage of 64 bit processors but is not as compatible as 32 | 00:12 |
| OD810 | arizalord: i got the work around | 00:12 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: did you mention something like kismet? | 00:12 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: Yes, 7.10 has pidgin built in. | 00:12 |
| angel__ | Pici, so i formated it, now i would have to have it mount at boot up right? | 00:12 |
| toni_ | speedbird, still fighting with pidgin? | 00:12 |
| hebbe | thanks | 00:12 |
| arizalord | nickrud, my optimal resolution does not appear! | 00:13 |
| RyanPrior | hebbe: no problem. :-) | 00:13 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior : thanks i will upgrade then as i have tried everything possible :( nothing worked for me :s | 00:13 |
| OD810 | arizalord: check the link i just gave you, it works | 00:13 |
| empath1999 | anyone? | 00:13 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: yeah, but nevermind that until after you get WPA working... | 00:13 |
| OD810 | arizalord: i got 1680x1050 resolution now | 00:13 |
| angel__ | 64bit sux for desktop but is good for servers that use harden apps | 00:13 |
| speedbird | toni_ yeah still but i think i will upgrade to 7.10 | 00:13 |
| Pici | angel__: Presumably, if you want it to be there when you boot. | 00:13 |
| arizalord | OD810!, wow! fantastic... thx.. i'll try it | 00:13 |
| nickrud | arizalord, put a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org or listen to OD810 's thing first | 00:13 |
| toni_ | speedbird, why don't you upgrade ? | 00:13 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: the link reports it will help WPA. | 00:13 |
| shadix | hrmm I can't find a way to get my screenlets to not show a black square around them | 00:14 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior : thanks man .. | 00:14 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: i gave up on WPA | 00:14 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: I hope things work out. | 00:14 |
| hanophix33 | LOL | 00:14 |
| arizalord | nickrud, thx | 00:14 |
| angel__ | Pici, lol ok cuz i will create to links Video and Music to go there. | 00:14 |
| OD810 | arizalord: you might experience the login screen mess up but it works fine | 00:14 |
| gyaresu | misha: Sounds like you need a software package to manage the keys. DOn't know which one but there should be something depending on your laptop model. (from memory) | 00:14 |
| OD810 | arizalord: let me restart once more to confirm | 00:14 |
| angel__ | what is a good tool for manging mount configuration | 00:14 |
| arizalord | ok | 00:14 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: /etc/fstab | 00:15 |
| speedbird | toni_ yeah i m upgrading to 7.10 but is it good to upgrade from update manager ? as i dont want to do a fresh installation ? will that be ok ? | 00:15 |
| toni_ | speedbird, i do with update manager | 00:15 |
| misha | well, thats a good idia but as i said the FN key (in windows) turns off/on the wireless card hardwerly | 00:15 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: I've upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 on a few machines successfully. | 00:15 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: It has been a lot smoother than in past transitions. | 00:15 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior : you have upgraded through Update manager or fresh installation ? | 00:16 |
| gyaresu | misha: The function key can be operated by your operating system. You just need to find out how. Exactly what model is it? | 00:16 |
| misha | so that the wireless card won't "eat" the battery while i don't need wireless, but when the wirelese card is turned off hardwarely ubunt event doesn't see i have wireless card on | 00:16 |
| RyanPrior | speedbird: Through upgrade manager. If I install 7.10 on my machine fresh, it doesn't work. The only way for me is to install 7.04 and upgrade. :-\ | 00:16 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: what was the final verdict with my campus situation | 00:16 |
| flamsmark | are there a device-manager patch for raid5 system compatible with the 2.6.22 kernel? | 00:16 |
| angel__ | /etc/fstab is not a tool! lol. | 00:16 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: I don't have your wireless adapter. and come to think of it, I haven't tried connecting to my AP at the house using WPA with 7.10 (or 7.04) but I was able to do it with 6.10 so I assume it still works. I have an ipw2200 and not an prism card... | 00:16 |
| speedbird | RyanPrior .. alright thanks alot :) i m upgrading now ..... | 00:17 |

| hanophix33 | djcabz: I moved to WEP | 00:17 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: Unless we are at the campus we can not do too much. Kismet is a wireless sniffer and it install really easy under Ubuntu. Just use synaptic | 00:17 |
| donluigi | Pici: Thank You! It works now! I cant believe how fast ubuntu really is! | 00:17 |
| th0r | sidelil grsync | 00:18 |
| Pici | donluigi: Was there something wrong with the hardware? | 00:18 |
| donluigi | i guess it wasnt plugged in correctly | 00:18 |
| djcabz | If the campus use WPA and you set the adapter for WEP, you should still see the SSID when the AP beacons, | 00:18 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I am using add/remove apps and kismet doesnt comeup | 00:18 |
| donluigi | i just took them off, put them back in the the opposite slot and bingo! | 00:18 |
| Pici | donluigi: Great :D | 00:18 |

| th0r | Fraser I have 6G free out of 15G...but I am a power user <smile> | 00:19 |
| SeveredCross | /dev/sda2 11G 4.4G 5.9G 43% / | 00:19 |
| Pici | angel__: As long as /mnt/MMEdia exists, thats fine | 00:19 |
| jeff__ | anyone else have issues with video playback? | 00:19 |
| donluigi | Pici: I have another question. My video and soundcard are not installed, just using a generic driver. how can i find the proper ones_ | 00:19 |
| SeveredCross | 11 G, sorry. | 00:19 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: Try it and find out. | 00:19 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I apologize for my ignorance | 00:19 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: I have to start somewhere | 00:19 |
| Pici | donluigi: In gnome, System>Administration>Restricted drivers manager | 00:20 |
| mind | #ubuntu | 00:20 |
| gyaresu | hanophix33: from the command line you should then be able to 'sudo iwlist eth1 scan' or whatever is the equivalent to eth1 on your machine, and see the network. Regardsless of any encryption. | 00:20 |
| SeveredCross | I probably have a bunch of junk that I need to remove too, old cached .deb's, etc. | 00:20 |
| angel__ | Pici, RyanPrior, ok, i'll give it a try. how would permissions be handled though? i don't want other users to delete my media | 00:20 |
| donluigi | Pici: I think even my lan card is also using a generic driver. ill go have a look. thanks | 00:20 |
| mind | raga | 00:20 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: np.. exactly and it is good that you choose Ubuntu, best desktop linux distro in my opinion. | 00:20 |
| mind | #UBUNTU.IT | 00:20 |
| SeveredCross | Yeah, I just got back 1 GB after an apt-get clean | 00:20 |
| donluigi | Pici: On restricted drivers, it only shows my phone modem... | 00:20 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: It will be mounted with normal user permissions. So, make everything be owned by you and nobody else will be able to access it. | 00:20 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: interface doesnt support scanning | 00:21 |
| Pici | donluigi: What video card do you have? | 00:21 |
| dox | Is there any way to Clone my hole 1280*1024 Desktop on my 1024*768 TV?! In windows this works, but in linux he copies just a part of the screen...its an nvidia card.. | 00:21 |
| AspiringSociopat | i need a hand with this command | 00:21 |
| AspiringSociopat | mdf2iso /home/d/Desktop/Unreal Tournament 2004.mds | 00:21 |
| Fraser | th0r + ServeredCross: Can you change the location of the desktop folder and stuff in linux, like you can in windows (right clicking my doc, properties + using TweetUI for changing the desktop location) ??? | 00:21 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: is Ubuntu a good LAPTOP distro, LOL! | 00:21 |
| AspiringSociopat | what do i do in the spaces? | 00:21 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: put the path in quotes "" | 00:21 |
| AspiringSociopat | okay | 00:21 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, sweet! linux is a hell of a lot easier than i though | 00:21 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: and choose the mdf not mds | 00:21 |
| AspiringSociopat | ahh okay | 00:22 |
| yuhong | There are not as many kernel in ubuntu as in debian | 00:22 |
| SeveredCross | No distro is really super laptop-friendly. | 00:22 |
| th0r | Fraser I use xfce so not sure about gnome and kde, but I think in gnome if you move /home/<user>/Desktop it still remains active in the new location | 00:22 |
| AspiringSociopat | im really new to the whole command thing | 00:22 |
| yuhong | I wonder why | 00:22 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: It's not always, but we like to make things simple when possible. :-) | 00:22 |
| donluigi | Pici: it embedded in my motherboard. lemme have a look. | 00:22 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: Then you're doing fine :) | 00:22 |
| SeveredCross | Fraser: To be totally honest, I'm not really sure. | 00:22 |
| SeveredCross | I know you can move the desktop folder elsewhere and then symlink /home/user/Desktop to the new location, and that'll work. | 00:22 |
| SeveredCross | There might be a gconf setting somewhere. | 00:22 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, how long have you been doing linux? | 00:23 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: desktop / laptop the same thing for me... if the IF doesn't support scanning... OH you mean it doesn't support monitor mode | 00:23 |
| arthur37854 | i have a question? i have an older gateway 600 mhz cpu, 384mb ram, i have ubuntu installed works fine. sometimes a little sluggish, looking around i noticed xbuntu and it says that it is a little lighter version desk top environment. if i install that would there be a noticeable improvement? any input is appreciated. | 00:23 |
| djcabz | I prefer CentOS for servers and Ubuntu for PCs | 00:23 |
| hanophix33 | i did the command exactly as you said | 00:23 |
| AspiringSociopat | im trying to convert this mdf to iso and it says Unreal Tournament 2004.mdf is already ISO9660. | 00:23 |
| Pici | donluigi: chances are, that perhaps there are no proprietary drivers for your hardware, and generic may jut work fine. | 00:23 |
| SeveredCross | arthur37854: Probably some, yeah. | 00:23 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: I've been tinkering with it since 2003, but I've been using it daily on my laptop since 2006. | 00:23 |
| SeveredCross | Xfce is a good deal lighter than Gnome. | 00:23 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: thats what it said, doesnt support scanning | 00:23 |
| Fraser | th0r + ServeredCross: Ok, thanks. I'm away to install Ubuntu again on a new partition. I'll prob be back with some more questions, lol. I'm a linux newbie! :D | 00:24 |
| arthur37854 | im prolly give it a try see what happens... thanks | 00:24 |
| SeveredCross | That's allright, we all ha to start somewhere | 00:24 |
| dox | Is there any way to Clone my hole 1280*1024 Desktop on my 1024*768 TV?! In windows this works, but in linux he copies just a part of the screen...its an nvidia card.. | 00:24 |
| SeveredCross | dox: TwinView? | 00:24 |
| AspiringSociopat | will i be able to mount Unreal Tournament 2004.mdf is already ISO9660. | 00:24 |
| AspiringSociopat | if its already an iso09660? | 00:24 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. | 00:24 |
| dox | yes | 00:24 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, i've been on it since nov, ubuntu made me switch. | 00:24 |
| RyanPrior | AspiringSociopat: You can mount an iso9660 file, yes. | 00:24 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: Ubuntu, and Debian-based distributions in general, are a pleasure to use. | 00:25 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: It's an alcohol file at the moment right? So you need to change it to and .iso and then mount it on a loop device. | 00:25 |
| AspiringSociopat | hu okay ill try it out | 00:25 |
| misha | gyaresu -> do you know any other solutions to the fn key problem? | 00:25 |
| Johnny_5 | arthur37854>you could try the windows maneger enlightenment...it doesn't seem to take as long to load up...i think its lighter than gnome and certaintly lighter than kde | 00:25 |
| dox | SeveredCross: I'm using twinView but than the TV Desktop is just a Cutout from the normal Desktop :> | 00:25 |
| AspiringSociopat | i tried to use mdf2iso | 00:25 |
| gyaresu | misha: What is exact model? | 00:25 |
| AspiringSociopat | and it said its already iso09660 | 00:25 |
| SeveredCross | dox: You may have to change some settings around, I've never used TwinView. | 00:25 |
| mind | #ubuntu.it | 00:25 |
| arthur37854 | xfce run the same apps as gnome? | 00:25 |
| Fraser | oh, one more question! lol, what file system do you recomment for ubuntu? NTFS? | 00:25 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: you may not have the correct driver installed... but I really would google it... | 00:25 |
| arizalord | nickrud, can you help me? :D | 00:25 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: run 'file blahblah.mdf' | 00:25 |
| dox | im trying since 45 minutes^^ | 00:25 |
| AspiringSociopat | ill try to mount it anyway | 00:26 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: What does that say? | 00:26 |
| mind | #ubuntu.it | 00:26 |
| gyaresu | Fraser: ext3 | 00:26 |
| ericgw | Ubuntu Gurus: I have managed to bork my window manager during an aborted update. Symtoms: windows all open in same location without a frame, cannot resize or move windows. pager does not work. Does anyone have an idea how to restore it to full function? | 00:26 |
| angel__ | Pici, RyanPrior, how do i reload the fstb conf? | 00:26 |
| eltux | gyaresu: its locking up again | 00:26 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: google what | 00:26 |
| Pici | angel__: sudo mount -a | 00:26 |
| AspiringSociopat | it says run command not found | 00:26 |
| AspiringSociopat | lol | 00:26 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Old machine? | 00:26 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: What do you mean, reload it? Reset it to what it was before you edited it? | 00:26 |
| Fraser | «gyaresu» thanks | 00:26 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: do you think the network will be so hard to find? | 00:26 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: the 'file' command should be there... | 00:27 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: it should just be an open system with a different authorization | 00:27 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: the blahblah was my shorthand for your Unreal.mdf file | 00:27 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, no i mean take in the new settings i just saved, Pici said sudo mount -a should do it | 00:27 |
| AspiringSociopat | oh i know that lol | 00:27 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: but I guess I will find out for sure on monday when the campus is "open" | 00:27 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: If that doesn't do it, rebooting should. | 00:27 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: yes, if you don't have the correct drivers under linux, then, it may be difficult to see the SSID... but it is working so that doesn't make sense... err... I think the network at the campus was offline. | 00:27 |
| AspiringSociopat | so like this run "/home/d/Desktop/Unreal Tournament 2004.mdf" | 00:27 |
| eltux | gyaresu: not really, I do know however that the ram has always shown up wrong on this system. it says I have only 192mb when I really have 256 mb | 00:28 |
| gyaresu | djcabz: hanophix33 He's right. It doesn't make sense if you can see other networks. | 00:28 |
| misha | gyaresu -> exact model of laptop? or model of wireless card (don't understand quite how to get it / what u mean) | 00:28 |
| angel__ | Pici, RyanPrior, WTF? 2gigs are now being used in my brand new hd! what the hell is lost+found? | 00:28 |
| gyaresu | eltux: shared video. that's normal. | 00:28 |
| gyaresu | misha: WHAT LAPTOP ARE YOU USING :) | 00:28 |
| kitche | angel__: it's lost files that have been found | 00:28 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: Lost and found is a place where lost files get put. It's rarely used. | 00:29 |
| gyaresu | eltux: can you run other live cd's on it? | 00:29 |
| eltux | gyaresu: any ideas on how to get it installed? all I want to do is use it as a game server :\ | 00:29 |
| angel__ | kitche, er how did htey get lost from an empty hd? | 00:29 |
| eltux | gyaresu: I can't run any live cd's on it, I'm installing with the alternative cd | 00:29 |
| kitche | angel__: depending on the size of the drive the 5% reserve might be that 2 gigs | 00:29 |
| misha | gyaresu-> I am using LG laptop S1 Express Dual (that is the model) | 00:29 |
| donluigi | Pici: ok! thanks! | 00:29 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: You can reformat the drive to reclaim maximum space if you like. | 00:29 |
| kitche | angel__: it's not but every hard drive that is formatted ext3 needs that folder really | 00:29 |
| hanophix33 | gyaresu: trust me, I fully appreciate you and djcabz expertise on this and I fully believe and hope what you say is true. I bought a new laptop and put linux on it for the hopes that I couldnt use it for school and when I went on campus today to see if the wireless would work, I was pretty bummed to see that it didnt | 00:29 |
| angel__ | kitche, RyanPrior ok. i won't sweat it then | 00:30 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Has it had an OS on it recently. (just wondering if it's hardware) | 00:30 |
| kitche | angel__: it's used for the journaling during a fsck | 00:30 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: good luck | 00:30 |
| hanophix33 | *could use it for school | 00:30 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: thanks for your help | 00:30 |
| eltux | gyaresu: yes, I had xp on it and it had problems | 00:30 |
| hanophix33 | djcabz: can I ask some more questions with the general use of ubuntu | 00:31 |
| eltux | :\ | 00:31 |
| gyaresu | eltux: bing | 00:31 |
| angel__ | kitche, don't know what that is but sounds like i should not mess with it. is it likt dr watson on windoze? | 00:31 |
| eltux | gyaresu: what? | 00:31 |
| gyaresu | misha: Have you had the wireless working at all. | 00:32 |
| kitche | angel__: fsck is like disk check on a bad shutdown | 00:32 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: as far as the "missing" 2 GB, it might be the fact that computers measure in binary bytes (1 gb = 1024 mb) whereas hard drive manufacturers measure in janky bytes (1 gb = 1000 mb) | 00:32 |
| angel__ | kitche, awesome | 00:32 |
| gyaresu | eltux: You should download memtest86+ and the seatools iso's and run them to start testing the hardware. (they are both tiny iso's by the way) | 00:32 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, no it says 2gb are in use | 00:32 |
| gyaresu | eltux: just to take the hardware out of the equation for root of problem. | 00:32 |
| eltux | gyaresu: links please :D | 00:32 |
| kitche | angel__: how big is the new drive? | 00:33 |
| tomas_ | !asound | 00:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about asound - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:33 |

| gyaresu | eltux: 1024 mb) whereas hard drive manufacturers measure in janky bytes (1 gb = 1000 mb) | 00:33 |
| tomas_ | where can I find that file? | 00:33 |
| gyaresu | 1024 mb) whereas hard drive manufacturers measure in janky bytes (1 gb = 1000 mb) | 00:33 |
| misha | gyaresu-> yep - I will try to explain it again: For example, in old laptops wireless card was switched off by a hardware switch (usually located in the front of the laptop) when the switch is turned off, the wireless card is turned off , thus it is not trying to transmit / find wireless networks and doesn't consume laptop battary | 00:33 |
| gyaresu | eltux: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=010627838012573663791:if_hpqkcyh0&cof=FORID:1&q=memtest86%2B&sa=Search | 00:33 |
| RyanPrior | gyaresu: That's what you get for copy-pasting my comment! =P | 00:33 |
| shadix | are there any good Banshee skins out there> | 00:33 |
| gyaresu | misha: "in old laptops" ... | 00:34 |
| hanophix33 | what is the best MP3 player for ubuntu? | 00:34 |
| RyanPrior | hanophix33: Not an iPod. | 00:34 |
| Johnny_5 | hanophix33:i use xmms | 00:34 |
| AspiringSociopat | whats a good program for mounting images as a cd/dvd? | 00:34 |
| gyaresu | misha: Have you had the wireless working at all. | 00:34 |
| RyanPrior | AspiringSociopat: mount | 00:34 |
| djcabz | hanophix33: xmms and or VLC | 00:34 |
| hanophix33 | I figured xmms....I have a ZUNE, any luck with that? | 00:35 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: 'sudo mount /thing/stuff/blah.iso -o loop' | 00:35 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: 'sudo mount /thing/stuff/blah.iso /mnt/iso -o loop' | 00:35 |
| misha | gyaresu-> IN my laptop - the witch i based on FN key (F6) in windows the wireless card is working (and the FN key is working) but when i switch the wireless card off in windows ubuntu stops recognizing it , (when i turn the wireless card on in windows - ubuntu recognizes it , and i can use it) | 00:35 |
| freewilly | yes, linux has daemontools built in | 00:35 |
| AspiringSociopat | okay i did that | 00:35 |
| misha | gyaresu-> after reboot ofcourse | 00:35 |
| angel__ | Pici, RyanPrior i can't create folders in the new mounted partition! | 00:36 |
| tomas_ | !sound | 00:36 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:36 |
| AspiringSociopat | heh i got it = P | 00:36 |
| AspiringSociopat | thank you | 00:36 |
| gyaresu | misha: Ok. So a 'yes' would have been fine. You need a program or some kind of text edit hack to get the funtion keys working on your laptop. | 00:36 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: Do you own the root folder? | 00:36 |
| kitche | freewilly: what do you mean by daemontools since daemontools is not built into Linux | 00:36 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: If not, you'll have to chown it. | 00:36 |
| angel__ | kitche, it is supposed to be a 160gb but gparted says it is a 149gb abd that 2gb are in use | 00:36 |
| freewilly | hehe i know | 00:36 |
| Darkmystere_ | hello can some 1 help? | 00:37 |
| kitche | angel__: yeah the 2 gb might be reserved | 00:37 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, ask a question | 00:37 |
| RyanPrior | kitche: Daemontools is a program for Windows that lets you mount CD images, among other things. | 00:37 |
| gyaresu | !ask > Darkmystere_ | 00:37 |
| bomb | boa noite | 00:37 |
| bomb | alguem pode me ajudar? | 00:37 |
| freewilly | if you come from windows its hard to believ that mounting images is so easy | 00:37 |
| Pelo | !es | bomb | 00:37 |
| ubotu | bomb: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 00:37 |
| kitche | RyanPrior: that's the Window program not the Unix program | 00:37 |
| bomb | please | 00:37 |
| Darkmystere_ | Ok I recently Downloaded new modueles its callledubuntu 7.10 2.6.22-14-rt | 00:37 |
| RyanPrior | kitche: Correct. It was a joke. | 00:37 |

| bomb | ? | 00:37 |
| Pelo | !pr | bomb | 00:37 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:37 |
| Pici | !pt | bomb | 00:37 |

| ubotu | bomb: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 00:38 |
| AspiringSociopat | how would i run a linux sh installer with write privlages? | 00:38 |
| Darkmystere_ | and rebooted and now i cannot boot into ubuntu | 00:38 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: The 2gb ensure that you'll never have to defragment your ext3 partition ever. :-) | 00:38 |
| iN00DLE | why did you install that kernel, Darkmystere_ ? | 00:38 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: sudo ./thing.sh | 00:38 |
| donluigi | Pici: I have a hard drive problem. On my sdb1 and sdb5, they are both fat32. i can write on both of them, and i can delete. but once i delete something, that space isnt freed up. What can i do? | 00:38 |
| Darkmystere_ | it was an effort to solving my sound problem | 00:38 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, get any error msg when you boot ? | 00:38 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, better yet i'll grant the ability to be written by anyone since i want other users to use it as well. how do i do that? | 00:38 |
| arizalord | OD810, it runs? | 00:38 |
| Darkmystere_ | i saw it in the fourms so i thought it was worth a try | 00:38 |
| Pelo | !enter | Darkmystere_ | 00:38 |
| ubotu | Darkmystere_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:38 |
| freewilly | mb press ctrl-H | 00:38 |
| AspiringSociopat | god this is so confusing =( | 00:38 |
| freewilly | & empty trash | 00:39 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: First, figure out who it's owned by using ls -l | 00:39 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: Then, if it's owned by root, change it to be owned by you. | 00:39 |
| hebbe | what does it mean to own the root, and if hov too? | 00:39 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, one problem at a time, you say you can't boot after an upgrade ? do you get any error messages ? | 00:39 |
| donluigi | Pici: they are not available under trash for me to empty. | 00:39 |
| gyaresu | AspiringSociopat: Why? | 00:39 |
| misha | gyaresu - > can you give me any web referance / forum to point me to a direction so solution please? (thanks a lot) | 00:39 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, root | 00:39 |
| Darkmystere_ | Nope | 00:39 |
| Pici | donluigi: Check in a folder named .Trash on the devices. | 00:39 |
| AspiringSociopat | all the differnt commands you must remmeber | 00:39 |
| gyaresu | misha: I'm reading/researching now. Please be patient. | 00:40 |
| donluigi | thanks! | 00:40 |
| Darkmystere_ | No i dont get an error dang i cant really see whats what | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, please use my nick when replhing to me | 00:40 |
| freewilly | has anyone a cs46xx soundcard (fortissimo2) working with decent sound | 00:40 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, ok descrive the boot as it goes,do you get as far as the boot menu ? | 00:40 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: So, you'll need to chown it. chown means "change owner". If your username were "angel", the command to run would be "sudo chown angel:angel /the/folders/path" | 00:40 |
| Darkmystere_ | Pelo I get no Error mEssage it just stays a black screen for ages usualy the hardrive light goes on and off until it gets to login screen | 00:40 |
| Jymmm | How do I become SUDO within gui? | 00:41 |
| RyanPrior | Jymmm: gksudo | 00:41 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, what is your videocard ? | 00:41 |
| angel__ | RyanPrior, i want all users to see and play the media also open all the folders, each user can put their files there but only the owner can delete. how the hell do i do that | 00:41 |
| Darkmystere_ | Jymm: Start the program from terminal doing Sudo SU then ur password if it asks | 00:41 |
| Darkmystere_ | Pelo ATI Raedon | 00:42 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: You can't do that with ext3. You'll need to use a more specialized filesystem, like the one from Netware. | 00:42 |

| angel__ | RyanPrior, lol, forget it. i'll make myself owner | 00:42 |
| Pici | !gksudo | Jymmm | 00:42 |
| ubotu | Jymmm: 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) | 00:42 |
| donluigi | Pici: I really appreciate your help. on sdb1 it worked like a charm | 00:42 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: Actually, that's probably not true. I read your question wrong. You should still make yourself the owner, though. | 00:42 |
| Jymmm | Darkmystere_: I'm trying to drag and drop some things, not really execute anything | 00:43 |
| Darkmystere_ | Jymm: go to the programs launcher and then right click push properties and see what command runs it then go to the terminal and use super user then run it | 00:43 |
| donluigi | Pici: but on sda5 it said the folder does not exist | 00:43 |
| RyanPrior | Jymmm: hit ALT+F2, type "gksudo nautilus", and you'll get a Nautilus file manager with sudo priviledges. | 00:43 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, boot the recovery mode, then run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the vesa driver, and for the rest just go with the default provided unless you absolutely know better, then restart the computer, this should get you the gui back, from there you can reinstall the restricted driver for your video card or the binairy if the restricted one doesn'T work for you | 00:43 |

| Darkmystere_ | Pelo Is it possible to make another channel because its hard catching ur replys | 00:44 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, jsut scroll up | 00:44 |
| RyanPrior | Jymmm: Be careful, though. That file manager has the privileges to screw up your computer too, so close it as soon as you're done. :-) | 00:44 |
| Pelo | Darkmystere_, boot the recovery mode, then run the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , select the vesa driver, and for the rest just go with the default provided unless you absolutely know better, then restart the computer, this should get you the gui back, from there you can reinstall the restricted driver for your video card or the binairy if the restricted one doesn'T work for you | 00:44 |

| Darkmystere_ | Pelo Could u help me with my sound problem after i fix the GUI | 00:47 |
| eltux | gyaresu: I'm running memtest now | 00:47 |
| Pelo | orionjoe, not as much as in windows, linux is pretty secure in that respect, but if you are running a server it might be wise | 00:47 |

| Oli`` | What does touch do? | 00:48 |
| RyanPrior | orionjoe: The default Ubuntu install does not have any ports open on its firewall, so you are automatically protected by Linux's built-in firewall module. | 00:48 |
| Eriky | If you are not behind a hardware firewall it sounds like a good idea to me, but you can do without on a linux desktop system | 00:48 |
| Pelo | orionjoe, sucking up with not help | 00:48 |

| kitche | AspiringSociopat: pidgin is the new name for gaim | 00:56 |
| Johnny_5 | AspiringSociopat:yes | 00:56 |

| angel__ | AspiringSociopat, pigdin is the new gaim | 00:56 |

| Darkmystere_ | I used the Wubi Alpha the latest minefield for Ubuntu 7.10 | 00:56 |

| eltux | I am installing ubuntu on the pc next to me with the alternative cd and its hanging at the Select and install software part at 6%. The cd's checksum is correct and there are no defects on it. so now what do I do? | 00:57 |
| gyaresu | stonedjay: Yes but when you restart is there the option to boot a different kernel? | 00:57 |
| Pelo | stonedjay, it is possible that your grub menu got reset when you added the new kernel, from the grub menu on start up select the kernel you want to boot, type E for edit select the root line and type E for edit chang the root (hd0,0) line to reflect the location of the kernel in que3siton, this is only a temporary solution, you will have to edit menu.lst to make it pernament | 00:57 |
| Javid | eltux, kill it and try again? | 00:57 |
| djcabz | of course when I said CTRL+DEL+BACKSPACE I meant CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE :) | 00:57 |

| Stwange | I deleted something from an external drive, and it went in my wastebasket on the computer, now I get an I/O error whenever I try emptying the basket =( | 00:57 |

| === Ttech is now known as W6JCN | ||

| joerlend | Shapeshifter: that depends on how you | 00:58 |
| nickrud | eltux, alt-f8 should have a log of what's happening, if you're lucky there'll be a clue there | 00:58 |
| th0r | Shapeshifter you might want to copy /etc/network/interfaces if you have your wifi and ethernet configured | 00:58 |
| Eriky | you should check the harddisk | 00:58 |
| RyanPrior | angel__: I'm not sure. However, NFS is better suited for sharing files between unix systems. samba is for Windows networking. | 00:58 |
| gyaresu | eltux: *cough did you run the seatools... | 00:58 |
| Darkmystere_ | Second | 00:58 |
| eltux | gyaresu: no........ | 00:58 |
| dvlkiss | i love compiz and the linosx theme | 00:58 |
| Shapeshifter | th0r: allright, good to know, anything else maybe? | 00:58 |
| RyanPrior | eltux: Try with a different motherboard. Perhaps it's shot. | 00:58 |
| gyaresu | eltux: mmm hmm. | 00:59 |
| joerlend | Shapeshifter: configured your system. All user data is stored in home, but general application configurations and the configurations itself is stored elsewhere. | 00:59 |
| dvlkiss | look and feel like a mac | 00:59 |
| nickrud | eltux, shame on you, not listening to gyaresu | 00:59 |

| RyanPrior | Shapeshifter: Arch linux is very nice. Good luck with that. | 00:59 |
| Flannel | joerlend, Shapeshifter, user preferences are also stored in home | 01:00 |
| open-gl | When ubuntu loads up it shutdown 20 seconds later how come. | 01:00 |
| Shapeshifter | th0r: but I guess $home is all I need then. thanks | 01:00 |
| nickrud | eltux, heh :) I don't have a clue on what he's talking about, but he knows more than I do | 01:00 |
| Pelo | stonedjay, the previous kernels should be available in the boot menu | 01:00 |
| th0r | Shapeshifter then the interfaces file might not be usable...don't know archlinux. But that would probably be all I would worry about .... /home and interfaces | 01:00 |

| iN00DLE | I generally find that answer via google, just trying to clarify your question you might want to re-ask in a few or try google if know one responds | 01:04 |

| doctajoyce | well im just trying to install on and Old p 3 and it gives me a sdb error | 01:08 |
| dvlkiss | i have dual boot with xp, if i had a better hardware support by linux i would format the win partition | 01:08 |
| zeld | ok | 01:08 |
| doctajoyce | and i have no idea what that means | 01:08 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: Are you using Desktop Effects? | 01:09 |
| freewilly | in file properties right click | 01:09 |
| doctajoyce | i never even got into the live portion | 01:09 |
| tom__ | Johnson_: right click the file, properties, open with, choose your program. | 01:09 |
| RyanPrior | zeld: #web might have better answers. :-) | 01:09 |
| kjm | sdb seems to be referring to a drive - perhaps non existent or bad data block? | 01:09 |
| zeld | ok | 01:09 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, ya now i have all enabled even jellow efffects but on live cd there was no jellow just medium and it had same problem...now i have all off to c if itll avoid problem | 01:09 |
| zeld | thanks Rabbitbunny | 01:09 |
| doctajoyce | thats what i thought | 01:09 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, but its rely random, it could work for 2 days or just for like 10 min | 01:09 |
| Johnson_ | tom__ if i want ubuntu to save the preference for all files of the type for example pdf | 01:09 |
| nickrud | inertial_, yes, according to http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Monitor_detection_.281680x1050_Resolution_Issue.29 , fglrx doesn't detect your monitor correctly, and fglrx doesn't use mode lines after 8.30 | 01:10 |
| tom__ | Johnson_: yeah it will remember that. | 01:10 |
| Johnson_ | ok thanks | 01:10 |
| tom__ | np. | 01:10 |
| doctajoyce | but whats weird is i tried installing 6.06 on this machine too and that doesn't work either | 01:10 |
| doctajoyce | just hangss | 01:10 |
| Pandemic187 | iNOODLE: Doesn't seem to work because I'm actually using xubuntu; it's not that big a deal though | 01:10 |
| freewilly | nvidia has less probl w linux | 01:10 |
| nickrud | inertial_, the 'doesn't use modelines' I've found a couple of refs, but not definitive ones | 01:10 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: So you are now not using desktop effects. You are using the gnome desktop and everything is normal for about 10min (or so) then you can't click anything and the mouse moves erraticly? | 01:10 |
| Wips | I was pretty sure I'd installed all the codecs for my totem movie player but now when I try to play off some videos They're bugged, with green lines here and there.. and ubuntu doesnt recommend any new codecs either.. it just plays it off.. What do I do? | 01:10 |
| Flannel | doctajoyce: Have you tried the alternate CD? | 01:10 |
| doctajoyce | no | 01:11 |
| doctajoyce | i wasn't sure if i should try the alt or xubuntu | 01:11 |
| Flannel | doctajoyce: I'd definately give it a go. Its more robust than the Desktop CD | 01:11 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, the mouse moves normally and it could be either 10 min or like 2 days the stop working symptom is rely rely random | 01:11 |
| Flannel | doctajoyce: well, even if you want xubuntu, grab the xubuntu alternate CD | 01:11 |
| tom__ | Wips: install w32codecs if legal where you live. | 01:11 |

| gyaresu | steve__11: You can install multiple managers and just try them all with no ill effect. | 01:12 |
| Pandemic187 | Right, that one's a bit dead though | 01:12 |
| steve__11 | ok then i should be good...alright well im going to try it ! | 01:12 |

| holydiver | Hello there, Um is there any way to install Ubuntu on my hdd without burning it onto to a disk maybe open the .iso file on desktop? | 01:23 |
| PriceChild | sputty01, NO piracy in #ubuntu. EOD | 01:23 |
| wols | Nubbie: running file from questionable sources in a terminal. very very bright idea! | 01:24 |
| kdubois | sputty01: you are typing ./executablename | 01:24 |
| iN00DLE | lol shadix | 01:24 |
| doctajoyce | yes holy diver | 01:24 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: Gonna be a little complex unless the networking gui has improved drastically. (which it may have) | 01:24 |
| monra | Hello. I have trying to find in /dev the files that correspond to mouse and keyboard. i went to /dev/input/ and trying cat(ing) mouse0, mice, ts0 but none of them worked, didn't get a respond. My mouse and my keyboard works just fine though! | 01:24 |
| Nubbie | wols: easy to kill it that way. | 01:24 |
| wols | sputty01: reinstall your OS | 01:24 |
| doctajoyce | that i actually know | 01:24 |
| holydiver | docta: how? | 01:24 |
| PriceChild | wolferine, pardon? | 01:24 |
| PriceChild | gah | 01:24 |
| PriceChild | wols, pardon? | 01:24 |
| c1|freaky | [01:54:12] <c1|freaky> hi all. im having a strange problem: i rent a new server, with larger discs and better hardware. i used partimage to save and restore the old disks on the new server. the old discs were arround 150GB each. the new server has 2 750GB HDDs. my problem is this: http://main.freakyy.de/cfdisk.txt http://main.freakyy.de/df.txt as you can see, cfdisk shows me 2 750GB HDDs but df -h shows me arround 140GB partitions. which are not shown in | 01:24 |
| c1|freaky | cfdisk. what is wrong[01:54:12] <c1|freaky> anyone got any idea how i can fix that? or ... what is the best solution to fix that as fast as possible? resizing is useless somehow ... as it just ... doesnt work because parted doesnt show such small partitions | 01:24 |
| wols | Nubbie: please don't give anyone ANY advice. you are not qualified for it | 01:24 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, firestarter is very easy to use but it seems to find wlan0 not active (i guess thats my wireless card) | 01:24 |
| Nubbie | wols: why is he reinstalling his OS? | 01:24 |
| kdubois | did ubotu just message everyone else too? | 01:24 |
| PriceChild | kdubois, nope, just you. | 01:24 |
| sputty01 | ahh! | 01:25 |
| === juan is now known as Xbehave | ||
| doctajoyce | wubi does it | 01:25 |
| sputty01 | thanks kdubois | 01:25 |
| Nubbie | wols: excuse me? | 01:25 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: Yes. you'll need to manually set the ip/subnet/gateway(modem machine) and change routing on the modem machine to allow access. | 01:25 |
| doctajoyce | 7.10 desktop has a shitty version of it | 01:25 |
| Pici | !language | doctajoyce | 01:25 |
| flamsmark | how do you unmount from the command line? | 01:25 |
| PriceChild | Nubbie, wols is no longer in the channel | 01:25 |
| ubotu | doctajoyce: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:25 |
| doctajoyce | but there is a better version available | 01:25 |
| sputty01 | i own the software in windows.. but i cant be bothered to request a linux key thats all | 01:25 |
| eltux | gyaresu: sea tools passed | 01:25 |
| holydiver | docta: how? | 01:25 |
| inertial_ | is there any way to downgrade a package? | 01:25 |
| Nubbie | PriceChild: yeah i noticed thanks lol | 01:25 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: /etc/sysctrl.conf etc. | 01:25 |
| doctajoyce | well | 01:26 |
| Nubbie | inertial_: in synaptic you can specify which version to use. | 01:26 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Ubuntu alt install right? | 01:26 |
| doctajoyce | let me find the site | 01:26 |
| eltux | gyaresu: yes | 01:26 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, can u tell me step by step wat to do? and b4 u do if u do....r u sure this will work? | 01:26 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: No. It would be too hard. Sorry. | 01:26 |
| jinxed- | hey | 01:26 |
| inertial_ | Nubbie: ok i'll try to work out how to do that.. | 01:26 |
| gyaresu | eltux: old cdrom? got another drive handy? | 01:27 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, wat would be hard, telling me wat to do? | 01:27 |
| doctajoyce | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide | 01:27 |
| gyaresu | deniz_: Yes. No offence but it's not simple. | 01:27 |
| Xbehave | how do i install something ive compiled on my desktop to my laptop? | 01:27 |
| Nubbie | inertial_: right click a package, properties, version, select the one you want. | 01:27 |
| deniz_ | gyaresu, a guide on the internet that i can follow that u approve of? | 01:27 |
| kikabola | sorry, im going to ask again: if a package cannot be installed because a dependency is not *satisfiable*, but the dependency is on the computer, what can be done to resolve the error msg and install the pkg? | 01:27 |
| eltux | gyaresu: I just burned the cdrom today and the drive came out of my newest computer and it works fine | 01:27 |
| inertial_ | Nubbie: oh.. and if there's only one version listed then there's not much i can do? | 01:27 |
| gyaresu | eltux: ah. | 01:27 |
| PurpZeY | kikabola: What package what dependecy? | 01:28 |
| Kunin | I've got a bit of an irritating problem with ubuntu/nvidia/multiple displays/wine... anyone got a second to help me out? | 01:28 |
| gyaresu | eltux: So it get's through partitioning and starts to install or just select packages? | 01:28 |
| Nubbie | inertial_: that means the version you want is not in repositories. you can install it manually if you choose. | 01:28 |
| Nubbie | inertial_: ie: finding a deb of the version you want. | 01:28 |
| === W6JCN is now known as Ttech | ||
| holydiver | docta: thx | 01:28 |
| doctajoyce | noo problem | 01:28 |
| doctajoyce | i know 7.10 has a weaker version of it on the cd | 01:29 |
| eltux | gyaresu: it installs the basic system and partitions alright but when it gets to the Install additional software or whatever it hangs at 6% | 01:29 |
| kikabola | PurpZeY: pkg = libsdl-image1.2, dependency = libsdl1.2debian | 01:29 |
| doctajoyce | instead of burning the cd you can mount it with daemon tools | 01:29 |
| doctajoyce | then open up the cd and run it | 01:29 |
| PurpZeY | kikabola: Why not install the package via snyaptic? | 01:29 |

| kikabola | PurpZeY: k ill try it | 01:30 |
| gyaresu | eltux: got two sticks of ram in yes? | 01:30 |
| Kunin | after a crash that destroyed my firefox settings I finally said to hell with windows(was using Ubuntu on another system) and fully switched over... but I can't seem to get the video stuff right | 01:30 |
| PriceChild | x-X-x, read the topic | 01:30 |
| eventualbuddha | this should be simple, but using apt-get to install rubygems isn't working. do i need to do anything other than enable the universe source? | 01:30 |
| eltux | gyaresu: no just one that is supposed to be 256mb | 01:30 |
| Kunin | using 4 monitors | 01:30 |
| Carbonflux | does anyone have any experience with installing Ubuntu 7.10 on a machine with a Geforce 6150 ? | 01:30 |
| gyaresu | eltux: I ask because you're getting to silly fix time. Low level format would also be on the list. | 01:30 |
| Kunin | I've got a GeForce 6200 | 01:31 |
| Dr_Willis | low level format = last ditch attempt. | 01:31 |
| Carbonflux | Kunin: was it one built onto a MB ? | 01:31 |
| Kunin | nope | 01:31 |
| Kunin | you try using Envy to install the drivers? | 01:31 |
| eltux | gyaresu: mind elaborating that so I can understand that? | 01:31 |
| gyaresu | eltux: You've got the latest version of stable right? Try the daily build. That's helped me before with both old and new machines. | 01:31 |
| Carbonflux | when I run LiveCD it only gives me 800x600 resolution with the nv driver | 01:32 |
| Carbonflux | seems like it does not detect my monitor | 01:32 |
| holydiver | docta: I think u understood me wrong I want to install ubuntu like the normal version, I just can't burn cd's cause my nero keeps giving me error's. | 01:32 |
| Nubbie | Carbonflux: which live cd? | 01:32 |
| x-X-x | carbon flux i use a 7300 go which sucks but you should be able to find the drivers in the repos if not try "envy" | 01:32 |
| kikabola | PurpZey: its not listed in the synaptic... I am trying to install VLC and got an error that others have been able to resolve by downloading and installing the libsdl-image1.2 but for some reason I cant | 01:32 |
| x-X-x | carbonflux | 01:32 |
| debian | evening everyone | 01:32 |
| Carbonflux | the Ubuntu 7.10 | 01:32 |
| Carbonflux | standard one | 01:32 |
| Kunin | mine did the same, but after I installed everything I used Envy to get the right drivers in there | 01:32 |
| eltux | gyaresu: so how am I supposed to get the daily build iso? | 01:32 |
| debian | . o (shouldnt need envy with ubu 7.10) | 01:32 |
| Carbonflux | I used the same CD to install 7.10 on a machine with a Geforce 5150 ultra | 01:32 |
| Kunin | my problem, I assume, is due to the Quadro NVS 250 I have as well as the 6200 | 01:32 |
| Carbonflux | and it worked fine | 01:32 |
| Nubbie | Carbonflux: it could be a driver issue. | 01:33 |
| x-X-x | when ubuntu 8 out ? | 01:33 |
| debian | . o (not unless the restricted driver manager isnt detecting anything) | 01:33 |
| Carbonflux | 5950 ultra* | 01:33 |
| debian | xx>> 8.04 will be out on april | 01:33 |
| debian | of 08 | 01:33 |
| debian | hence the 8.04 | 01:33 |
| Kunin | restricted driver manager is crappy... everything dies if I use it, heh | 01:33 |

| debian | 2008.04.## | 01:33 |
| x-X-x | debian is the beta any good ? | 01:33 |
| criminy | My command line vim is crawling on startup. I tried fc-cache, but that did not change it. Using 7.10, with kubuntu | 01:33 |
| Carbonflux | well, I guess I should just install it then and see if switching to the nvidia driver helps | 01:33 |
| debian | xx >> idk, i havent tried it yet | 01:33 |
| Carbonflux | it looks like what it needs is a mode line | 01:33 |

| e-uoaphys | hey guys, is there any way to run windows on top of ubuntu 7.10 without buying VMWARE? | 01:38 |
| Kunin | buy vmware? | 01:38 |
| e-uoaphys | like, are there any packages I can install to allow that? | 01:38 |
| Kunin | I use it for free... | 01:38 |
| debian | e-u >> virtualbox? | 01:38 |
| Pici | !vm | e-uoaphys | 01:39 |
| ubotu | e-uoaphys: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 01:39 |
| criminy | Actually, vim was linked to vim.gtk, even though I was just using the terminal. Semi-ubuntu issue, I'm guessing. | 01:39 |
| debian | e-u >> dont try installing windows via wine just fyi, it doesnt work | 01:39 |
| e-uoaphys | yea debian I know | 01:39 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: its not detecting the resolutions available when I run liveCD, I can only set it to 800x600 | 01:39 |
| debian | e-u >> you could also use parallels workstation, but there extremely slow and cost | 01:39 |
| e-uoaphys | wine is for app emulation | 01:39 |
| PurpZeY | debian: Sounds like you speak from experience..;) | 01:39 |
| Kunin | wine is my last problem to fix... then I can be 100% wher eI need to be | 01:39 |
| debian | virtualbox is nice | 01:39 |
| e-uoaphys | is there a free vmware package for unbuntu 7.1? | 01:39 |
| zenit | e-uoaphys, vmware server is also an option. If you don't require good graphics performance. | 01:39 |
| debian | its a bit slow, but hey its free right? | 01:39 |
| tofaffy | I plugged in my thumb drive on a fresh install and it says I can't change the permissions because it's read only. i unmount it, unplug it, and plug it back in and it just doesn't show up.

| Carbonflux | xobius: well, I have 2gig of ram so I told the bios to give it 256 meg | 01:40 |

| debian | yw | 01:41 |
| e-uoaphys | also, running windows XP Pro, the main thing I need is the ability to run MS Access reliably (don't care to do it under WINE, afraid of bugs) so i figure a VM plus XP plus ms office is the best choice | 01:41 |

| debian | tofaffy >> type "sudo mkdir /media/sdb1" | 01:43 |
| vocx | e-uoaphys, virtualbox for starters, no doubt about it. Should you need a lot of stuff then you may have to buy VMWare. | 01:43 |
| Nubbie | eventualbuddha: you may need the -dev package. | 01:43 |
| tofaffy | kk, debian | 01:43 |
| Nubbie | e-uoaphys: i would support qemu. | 01:43 |
| angel__ | Nubbie, how do i set it up so that it takes the whole screen for a true media center expirience | 01:43 |
| debian | tofaffy >> when your done let me know ok | 01:44 |
| eventualbuddha | "Nubbie: ruby1.8-dev is already the newest version" | 01:44 |
| tofaffy | got it, debian | 01:44 |
| e-uoaphys | also, do any of you know how to get ubuntu to allow you to login to either a windows domain, or a LDAP server, because at work that is how all the windows boxes are setup and we have portable passwords for that, was wondering if its possible to do in ubuntu without editing 20 files | 01:44 |
| usr13 | Carbonflux: Yes, you can alter the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file when running LiveCD | 01:44 |
| MrDinkles | PurpZeY: ya, i have that, just was lost at how to add pics-- thought maybe it was able to add different pictures-- | 01:44 |
| debian | tofaffy >> now type "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1" | 01:44 |
| Nubbie | angel__: edit the configuration file to enable full screen | 01:44 |
| e-uoaphys | I went on the forums and only saw some how-to's where you must edit a LOT of stuff and troubleshoot a lot just to get it working | 01:44 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, No, but you should see what driver is using | 01:44 |
| eltux | gyaresu: I'll try it and tell ya what happens | 01:44 |
| MrDinkles | PurpZeY: Have you tried it before?? it can add diff pics right? | 01:44 |
| debian | tofaffy > and if it sais anything, dump it into the pastebin | 01:44 |
| tofaffy | got it, debian | 01:44 |
| gyaresu | eltux: I'm interested so please do. | 01:44 |
| PurpZeY | MrDinkles: It can definitely do what you are describing. | 01:44 |

| ericvw | How can I get it so when I pause the sound that it also pauses the surround sound speakers? | 01:45 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, and what resolutions have seted? | 01:45 |
| debian | tofaffy >did you type in the command? | 01:45 |
| Nubbie | orionjoe: for something as specific as that i would ask the developers of that game. | 01:45 |
| MrDinkles | PurpZeY: Thanks alot for both the advise and quick response ^^ | 01:45 |
| orionjoe | well, i guess i need to know how to add a package | 01:45 |
| PurpZeY | No worries | 01:45 |
| === tofaffy|ghost is now known as KI4IKL | ||
| PurpZeY | orionjoe: sudo apt-get install <packagename> | 01:46 |
| usr13 | orionjoe: apt-get | 01:46 |
| inertial_ | i generated a .deb file with the ati installer, is there a way to load it through synaptic now so i can remove it easilly later? | 01:46 |
| orionjoe | and how do i know the package name? | 01:46 |
| usr13 | orionjoe: or Synaptic Package Manager | 01:46 |
| KI4IKL | debian, I think my irssi terminal froze, I got the mount done. | 01:46 |
| Nubbie | orionjoe: is there another package? perhaps something like ur-quon-data or ur-quon-extras or something similar? | 01:46 |
| usr13 | orionjoe: Search. | 01:46 |
| orionjoe | it's called uqm-voice | 01:46 |
| debian | ok | 01:47 |
| === KI4IKL is now known as tofaffy | ||
| PurpZeY | orionjoe: Use synaptic to find the package and install it that way, or search using apt-cache search | 01:47 |
| gyaresu | inertial_: DOn't know about that but the same thing on the command line is 'sudo dpkg -i thing.deb' | 01:47 |
| nickrud | inertial_, you'd have to use dpkg to install, but then you can use synaptic to remove. | 01:47 |
| usr13 | orionjoe: apt-cache search keywordhere | 01:47 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: its interesting, it finds my card name correct and my modes line has all the supported resolutions but when I open the app to change the resolution the max one it gives me is 800x600 | 01:47 |
| orionjoe | ok, i'll try it | 01:47 |
| debian | KI>now type "sudo nautilus /media/sda1" | 01:47 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, it isn't using propetary NVidia Driver. it is using open NV driver | 01:47 |
| usr13 | orionjoe: or search option in Synaptic Package Manager (GUI) | 01:47 |
| Carbonflux | yes | 01:47 |

| MartianLobster | I did apt-get remove, on all the sun java 6 packages, and then did apt-get install on the sun java 5 packages, and all the symlinks in /etc/alternatives got broken. Then I reverted by to sun java6 and they are still broken. When I do apt-get remove, whey isn't it cleaning out all the symlinks? | 01:47 |
| nickrud | inertial_, synaptic can install things from repos only | 01:47 |
| Nubbie | debain: gksu nautilus should be used. | 01:47 |
| debian | sorry | 01:48 |
| tofaffy | err debian you DO Mean sdb1, aye? | 01:48 |
| debian | gksu nautils /media/sda1 | 01:48 |

| debian | or shoot sorry | 01:48 |
| mikeaz | hello, would anyone like to help me with installing XFree86-DRI on gutsy | 01:48 |
| tofaffy | okay got that debian :)_ | 01:48 |
| debian | sudo nautilus /media/sdb1 | 01:48 |
| WorkingOnWise | /msg ubotu flash | 01:48 |
| nickrud | debian, gksudo has been setup to have /root as home, avoids the possibility of writing configs as root to a user's home | 01:48 |
| notlloyd | How do I fix a "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" Error? | 01:48 |
| orionjoe | ok, the readme for uqm says this: Instead, there is an apt repository at uqm.debian.net that has these | 01:48 |
| orionjoe | packages in it. It is maintained by the same person who maintains the uqm | 01:48 |
| orionjoe | packages in Debian. To use the apt repository, add this line to your | 01:48 |
| orionjoe | /etc/apt/sources.list: | 01:48 |
| orionjoe | deb http://uqm.debian.net/ unstable/ | 01:48 |
| gyaresu | MartianLobster: Possibly needed to 'apt-get purge' | 01:48 |
| thor^^ | Hi, Whenever i try enabling Compiz, i get that Composition isn't enabled :/ I've installed the latest ATI drivers | 01:48 |
| debian | ok did it bring up nautilus tofaffy? | 01:49 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, perhaps your vcard ins't work with NVidria drivers | 01:49 |
| orionjoe | i'm not sure what that means :P | 01:49 |
| tofaffy | aye, debian | 01:49 |
| Nubbie | WorkingOnWise: read hte MOTD, flash is temporarily broken. | 01:49 |
| elius | i just installed ubuntu on my LG laptop and it freeze often (random but happens around every 30-20 minutes) and i have to reset my computer, how can i start investigate what's causing it(i assume alot of things could cause this)? | 01:49 |
| inertial_ | thanks gyaresu and nickrud | 01:49 |
| MartianLobster | gyaresu: ok I will give that a shot | 01:49 |
| Kunin | wine + Xinerama... not working so well, anyone know how to make it work? | 01:49 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: I think its a problem with the card talking to the monitor, the monitor might be too old or something | 01:49 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, depends on what other errors occured before, do sudo apt-get -f install in a terminal , and put the results on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 01:49 |
| Nubbie | elius: paste your dmesg to a pastebin | 01:49 |
| gyaresu | elius: Exact model of laptop. | 01:49 |
| Pici | orionjoe: Debian repositories should NOT be used for ubuntu | 01:49 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, roger | 01:49 |
| Nubbie | elius: is it a kernel panic? | 01:49 |
| miraage | I have xubuntu and im trying to get network printing working to a SAMBA printer. Having trouble. | 01:50 |
| orionjoe | ok...don't know what that means :( | 01:50 |
| tofaffy | Ehh, debian still there? | 01:50 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: in LiveCD is there a /var/log/Xorg.0.log file ? | 01:50 |
| elius | gyaresu: LG LS55 express | 01:50 |
| debian | tofaffy >> give me a sec, its gonna take a bit of time | 01:50 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, what resolution have your monitor? | 01:50 |
| angel__ | thanks Nubbie | 01:50 |
| tofaffy | okay | 01:50 |
| debian | ok are you still in nautilus? | 01:50 |
| elius | Nubbie: how can i tell if its a kernel panic(everything freezes but i can still move my mouse cursor around)? | 01:50 |
| shadix | how do i open a window with admin permitions ie. to copy past something ot Gnomescreensaver | 01:50 |
| Nubbie | angel__: did you get it fixed and working? | 01:50 |
| debian | tof^^ | 01:50 |
| thor^^ | Hi, Whenever i try enabling Compiz, i get that Composition isn't enabled :/ I've installed the latest ATI drivers | 01:50 |
| tofaffy | yepp | 01:50 |
| inertial_ | elius: that's probably not a kernel panic | 01:50 |
| inertial_ | elius: the mouse would be frozen too | 01:50 |
| orionjoe | well, i'll see if there's an uqm irc room | 01:50 |
| Nubbie | elius: it may be an issue with compiz then. try disabling effects. | 01:51 |
| angel__ | i'm gonna do a fresh install | 01:51 |
| orionjoe | thanks anyways | 01:51 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50914/ | 01:51 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, I don't remember but I it is | 01:51 |
| debian | ok right click on teh blank space in nautilus - > click properties - > click permissions | 01:51 |
| tofaffy | debian, yes i'm still in nautilus | 01:51 |
| inertial_ | elius: try pressing ctrl alt f1 | 01:51 |
| debian | then where it says "others" | 01:51 |
| elius | Nubbie: thanks i'll try that | 01:51 |
| debian | look next to folder access | 01:51 |
| debian | make sure it sais "Create and Delete Files" | 01:51 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, have you installed any Linux distribution before? | 01:51 |
| debian | if it doesnt say that, then select it | 01:51 |
| debian | then next | 01:51 |
| debian | look at file access | 01:51 |

| debian | make sure it says "Read and Write" | 01:51 |
| debian | if it doesnt, select it | 01:52 |
| debian | then hit close | 01:52 |
| debian | unmount the drive | 01:52 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: yes, I have Ubuntu working on a differnet machine, also fedora core and gentoo | 01:52 |
| tofaffy | debian, thats the problem in this dialogue box I have an issue...it says it's read only. | 01:52 |
| debian | using "sudo umount /dev/sdb1" | 01:52 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, in that computer? | 01:52 |
| MartianLobster | well I guess that I found a bug with the package manager, apt-get remove, doesn't remove the appropriate symlinks from /etc/alternatives | 01:52 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: it works fine with my Geforce 5950 ultra for example | 01:52 |
| angel__ | Nubbie, do you use the version with ubuntu or the latest? | 01:52 |
| debian | change it from read onyl to read and write | 01:52 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: now, this is a new computer | 01:52 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, When an update was happening, I had a power outage. Now I can't install or update anything. I get the error whenever I try to install and update. | 01:52 |
| inertial_ | oh i love you all | 01:52 |
| MartianLobster | nor does apt-get purge | 01:52 |
| tofaffy | ehh debian read above...I said it wont let me because it says it's read only anyways. | 01:52 |
| inertial_ | i have 1680x1050 working now!! :) | 01:52 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: no, this is a new computer* it has a built in video board | 01:52 |
| TheHappyFatElf | Hello, I just installed ubuntu 7.10 and tryed to get flash on firefox. I went to a site and a thing poped up saying i dident have flash and that i should install it. it gave me 2 options, 1: install adobe flash (.2) install (Some other thing i've never heard of) So i tryed to install flash but it dident work for some reason, i restarted after it said it worked but it dident work at all. so instead, i installed #2 thi | 01:52 |
| TheHappyFatElf | s time. It worked with one flash site but now with my favorite flash site (pandora) how do i remove this and get flash instead? | 01:52 |
| tofaffy | ehh debian I think it's working, one moment :) | 01:53 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, try sudo apt-get install <somepackageyouwanttoinstall> , and paste the output from that | 01:53 |
| debian | well did you type "gksu nautilus /media/sdb1"? | 01:53 |
| tofaffy | I changed that, now let me change hte folder access. | 01:53 |
| tofaffy | yes, I did. | 01:53 |
| debian | ok | 01:53 |
| Nubbie | angel__: i actually haven't used elisa in a while. when i did i used the flumotion repository's version. | 01:53 |
| debian | ok | 01:53 |
| eltux | gyaresu: how should I partition this time? I just want to use the entire disk right? | 01:53 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: I have had a lot of success with Ubuntu 7.10 on other hardware so I am assuming its this video card. | 01:53 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50915/ | 01:53 |
| astro76 | MartianLobster: err I would assume a problem with that package, rather than with apt-get | 01:53 |
| angel__ | Nubbie, ok, i'll do the same | 01:53 |
| tofaffy | debian, It still wont let me change anything because of that error. "Read Only Disk" | 01:53 |
| angel__ | debian u suck dude | 01:53 |
| xobius | Carbonflux what vcard have you got? | 01:53 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Yep. Unless there's something else on it. | 01:53 |
| MartianLobster | I hate this | 01:53 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: its a Geforce 6150 | 01:53 |
| eltux | gyaresu: okay | 01:53 |
| MartianLobster | I just deleted every; syingnh symlink in /etdc/alternatives | 01:54 |
| MartianLobster | because the package manter wasn't doingn it | 01:54 |
| debian | tofafft >> just out of curiosity >> have you tried using a different thumbdrive? or is this the only one youve got? | 01:54 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: Have you tried apt-get installing flash? | 01:54 |
| MartianLobster | and I am on a new keyboard | 01:54 |
| apocalypt1 | alright, all of the media players on this pc are broken. i think its a problem with the codec. whenever I try to open a video, the sound works fine, but the video looks like this (http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?image=badmediaplayerts9.png). any help at all would be nice. note that .avi and.mp4 files are both broken. | 01:54 |
| MartianLobster | which fooooooooed my keystrokes | 01:54 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, I will search if that work in linux | 01:54 |
| tofaffy | Carbonflux, the drivers for that are nvidia-glx-new, I believe thats the same card as I | 01:54 |
| eventualbuddha | "apt-cache search irb" shows only ruby1.8. how do i make it show irb1.8? | 01:54 |
| gyaresu | !codecs > apocalypt1 | 01:54 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, how do i do that? | 01:54 |
| thor^^ | Thank you SO FUCKING much for your help #ubuntu, you just got a freekin star in your book | 01:54 |

| debian | tofaf >> can you write files to the thumbdrive right now (with the nautilus running as sudo?) | 01:55 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: I did a google search myself before I came here, thanks tho :) | 01:55 |
| apocalypt1 | gyaresu: i have the proper codecs installed, and everything worked before today | 01:55 |

| PurpZeY | Flash! | 01:55 |
| MartianLobster | so, I just did rm /etc/alternatives/* because I was trying to fix something manually, and I just deleted every single symlink in the directory, Can I get them back? | 01:55 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, What exactly is broken though? | 01:55 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, i'm a command line guy as well but i dont really know any comands. lol, ok | 01:55 |
| tofaffy | debian, one second, trying it. This drive wont work on either my laptop or desktop... | 01:55 |
| xerxes1358 | Hi | 01:55 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: 'sudo apt-cache search flash' | 01:55 |
| MartianLobster | when you rm something is it gone for good or does ubuntu saave it somewhere? | 01:56 |
| xerxes1358 | Where can I download the linux drivers for Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller ? | 01:56 |
| debian | tof >> you probably have a bad thumbdrive then | 01:56 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/openoffice.org-evolution.list | 01:56 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: its gone for good | 01:56 |
| debian | tof >> if it does the same thing on different computers | 01:56 |
| PurpZeY | gyaresu: Flash is broke in the repos. | 01:56 |
| tofaffy | debian, it's not bad cause it works perfectly fine in windows. | 01:56 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' | 01:56 |
| astro76 | MartianLobster: it's gone... you really need to sit on your hands and think a minute when using sudo | 01:56 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, Alright, I am there | 01:56 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, somehow this file got truncated. What we will do is fix the file, purge the package, then reinstall it so it's correct | 01:56 |
| debian | tof >> oh ok | 01:56 |
| gyaresu | PurpZeY: Really? That's annoying. | 01:56 |
| PurpZeY | !flash | gyaresu | 01:56 |
| ubotu | gyaresu: 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 | 01:56 |
| 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. | 01:56 |
| MartianLobster | astro76: I was logged in as root, the problem is the think didn't work, and my finger hit the enter key by accident | 01:56 |
| Aresilek | How do i disable the scroll bar on the intergrated trackpad on a laptop? | 01:57 |
| gyaresu | PurpZeY: Walk him through the flash download from adobe? Or better suggestion? | 01:57 |
| astro76 | MartianLobster: the same rule applies | 01:57 |
| MartianLobster | I am so frustrated | 01:57 |
| e-uoaphys | MartianLobster: just do a new format and reinstall ubuntu | 01:57 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, go to the end of the last line in the file, and hit enter. Then save | 01:57 |
| notlloyd | is it truncated at the end? | 01:57 |
| e-uoaphys | like windows when you screw up | 01:57 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, ok | 01:57 |
| tofaffy | Okay so since Debian can't help me... | 01:58 |

| nickrud | notlloyd, rflol :) | 01:58 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: Have a look at that. You'll need to enable the Multiverse Repos and then install flashplugin-nonfree | 01:58 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, here http://forum.soft32.com/linux2/screen-resolution-ubuntu-ftopict52834.html | 01:58 |

This drive works in windows and was working the other night on the laptop before I reinstalled. When I try and load gparted with the thumb drive plugged in...it just kinda goes bleh. | 01:59 |
| debian | then either your device doesnt support linux or linuxes drivers are faulty | 01:59 |

| notlloyd | nickrud, No success | 02:00 |
| Carbonflux | tofaffy: Can you tell me anything about your install process ? is your 6150 built into your MB ? | 02:00 |
| shadix | Nubbie: my net drops periodically | 02:00 |
| Nubbie | shadix: that is a mock up of a new design. | 02:00 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, same error? | 02:00 |
| thor^^ | Ati Radeon xpress 200M | 02:00 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, Yes | 02:00 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, the same exact error, that is? | 02:00 |
| MartianLobster | well I fortunately have a list of /etc/alternatives, so I guess I can apt-get reinstall everything that has a symlink there, and that will fix the directory | 02:00 |
| PurpZeY | thor^^: That probably explains it | 02:00 |
| Nubbie | shadix: it's an "artist's interpretation" lol | 02:00 |
| shadix | Nubbie: i know but i was hopeing | 02:00 |
| thor^^ | It worked on Suse, Fedora and Gentoo... | 02:01 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50917/ | 02:01 |

| javatexan | howdy all | 02:01 |
| keithclark | thor^^: Radeon 200M here on two machines with no issues | 02:01 |
| debian | hey java | 02:01 |
| PurpZeY | thor^^: I imagine it does/will work, just take config | 02:01 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: that was helpfull, my PCI line is the same as his. | 02:01 |
| thor^^ | I tried force it through enabling Composition in xorg.conf | 02:01 |
| xobius | Carbonflux, whe you have ubuntu installed, you should download | 02:01 |
| thor^^ | but no success | 02:01 |

| apocalypt1 | alright, all of the media players on this pc are broken. i think its a problem with the codec. whenever I try to open a video, the sound works fine, but the video looks like this (http://img106.imageshack.us/my.php?image=badmediaplayerts9.png). any help at all would be nice. note that .avi and.mp4 files are both broken. | 02:05 |

| thor^^ | dpkg-reconfigure did't do it :/ | 02:06 |
| keithclark | thor^^: I wish I could help. Mine worked out of the box, sorry | 02:06 |
| Shapeshifta | debian: I dont have X installed right now :P | 02:06 |

| jengle | i'm having trouble compiling simple c programs on the latest version of ubuntu | 02:06 |
| debian | that was kinda fyn | 02:06 |
| debian | fun** | 02:06 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: it will support up to 1600x1200 | 02:06 |
| RyanPrior | jengle: What sort of trouble? | 02:06 |
| debian | took me like 30 minutes to figure it out | 02:06 |
| PurpZeY | apocalypt1: Have you tried turning compiz off and seeing if the video is still affeted? | 02:06 |
| debian | havent used it since | 02:06 |
| Shapeshifta | debian: wasnt it possible with mkfs? | 02:06 |
| nickrud | notlloyd, then I'm not sure what's up. Do you have 17 lines in that file or 16? | 02:06 |
| neil_d | with vnc how do I get a gnome desktop on it ? | 02:06 |
| apocalypt1 | PurpZeY: i have the proper codecs installed, and they worked just fine before today | 02:06 |
| jengle | RyanPrior: gcc can't find headers | 02:06 |
| debian | shapes >> you could also do that too | 02:06 |
| gyaresu | jengle: Have you installed 'build-essential' ? | 02:06 |
| apocalypt1 | PurpZeY: no, ill do that | 02:07 |
| debian | try | 02:07 |
| RyanPrior | jengle: Did you install build-essential? | 02:07 |
| Xintruder | PurpZeY: how r u :D ? | 02:07 |
| Carbonflux | xobius: this same monitor will support 1600x1200 in Ubuntu 7.10 with a different graphics card. | 02:07 |
| debian | mkfs -t ext3 /dev/[disk to partition] | 02:07 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, HAD 16, now I'm trying with 17 | 02:07 |
| debian | ofcoarse yo have to be sudo | 02:07 |
| th0r | neil_d include the line 'exec gnome_session' at the end of xstartup in ~/.vnc...but make sure to comment out the twm line | 02:07 |
| debian | so sudo mkfs -t ext3 /dev/[disk] | 02:07 |
| notlloyd | nickrud, Didn't make a difference | 02:07 |
| jengle | ah, thankyou ;) | 02:07 |
| Carbonflux | tofaffy: are you still here ? | 02:07 |
| Shapeshifta | debian: yeah but what about it bein not case sensitive? maybe I was wrong but I think I remember that it was possible | 02:07 |

| xobius | Carbonflux, it is a good vcard. | 02:08 |
| debian | i always do | 02:08 |
| astro76 | TheHappyFatElf: it's called Software Sources now | 02:08 |

| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: Right. No idea. Forget that and then just command line 'sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list' (If you can drive vi) | 02:10 |

| RyanPrior | iN00DLE: Your argument is sort of like saying "Do Italians really need a chatroom?" Lots of Italians probably know English, but there are Italian Linux users who are most comfortable giving and receiving help in their native language.

| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, ok, i think i have it but i need to remove the other thing | 02:18 |
| Darkmystere | AW Dang it i need his help.. | 02:18 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, i have no net connection. | 02:19 |
| Stwange | how to I enable icons on the desktop? I disabled them | 02:19 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, any idea what that thing i installed was? | 02:19 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, ask, maybe someone else knows the answer | 02:19 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: gconf-editor | 02:19 |
| tanlaan | Is compiz fusion installed from disk on a base install? | 02:19 |
| th0r | neil_d hit the refresh button on your browser....everything but the first line and the exec gnome-session line needs a # in front of it | 02:19 |
| Darkmystere | OK Was anyone here during my convo with Pelo? | 02:19 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: Then fiddle with the desktop settings. | 02:19 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: Don't worry. Just download the packages from the forum thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 | 02:19 |
| tanlaan | !compiz fusion | 02:19 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz fusion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:19 |

| eltux | gyraseu: did you see what I said? | 02:19 |
| th0r | sCOTTo if you have no connection I doubt you will find it on the cd rom. If you can get online download the xubuntu cd and you can get it from there. | 02:19 |
| iN00DLE | Stwange, adding on to that response: apps>nautilus>desktop | 02:20 |
| gyaresu | eltux: nope. | 02:20 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, hmmm | 02:20 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: If you use opera then you'll want the 9.5 beta version of that also. | 02:20 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: apps/nautilus/desktop is where the settings you want are stored | 02:20 |
| MagicDuck | Hi, I have a permission problem. When I set permissions in nautilus and check them on the command line with ls -l, I get "?--------- ? ? ? ?" | 02:20 |
| Darkmystere | Ok well Recently i got a new Kernal in an effort to fixing my sound problem...I rebooted And it doesnt go top login anymore.. | 02:20 |
| sCOTTo | i would rather get the file and install it | 02:20 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Repeat please? | 02:20 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, firefox | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | MagicDuck: you may want to be fscking that filesystem real real real soon. | 02:20 |
| th0r | sCOTTo try packman...just a sec | 02:21 |
| Stwange | found it, thanks RyanPrior and iN00DLE | 02:21 |
| Darkmystere | My Visual Thing is ATI Raedon the new kernal is 2.6.22-14-rt | 02:21 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, how did you get the kernel? | 02:21 |
| MagicDuck | but I just installed | 02:21 |
| sCOTTo | th0r, which version is flux?dap edgy fiesty etc?? | 02:21 |
| MagicDuck | weird | 02:21 |
| Darkmystere | Downloaded the Packadge (nickrud) | 02:21 |
| cryxen | t | 02:21 |
| Dr_Willis | MagicDuck: do OTHER files have ok permissions? | 02:21 |
| th0r | sCOTTo nope....ubuntu is deb based...packman won't help <smile> | 02:21 |
| MagicDuck | yeah | 02:21 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, you should hit escape when your boot screen shows something about grub, then choose the old kernel | 02:21 |
| Darkmystere | I saw this help on a fourm And i thought it was worth a try i rebooted it booted into windows by accedent so i shutdown and choose ubuntu | 02:21 |
| mugi | well it looks like there is no 1 can help me on #apache | 02:21 |
| MagicDuck | when I just do the command line stuff, it works ok | 02:21 |
| Darkmystere | I tried that None of the Kernals Help Thats how i got the kernal names | 02:22 |
| eltux | gyaresu: gyaresu: It locked up again, its right after the xorg-server installs. its at 6% on the Select and install software list | 02:22 |
| Stwange | ok RyanPrior I enabled the icons but they still aren't there, do I have to reboot? | 02:22 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, yes, but at least you can log in to try to troubleshoot the other problems | 02:22 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: restarting X should be enough. | 02:22 |
| Darkmystere | I Cant Login Im using the Live CD | 02:22 |
| th0r | sCOTTo don't know what to tell you. You can try to get it off the fluxbuntu cd. I don't know anything about fluxbuntu so don't know what is there. | 02:22 |
| sCOTTo | ok cool | 02:23 |
| Darkmystere | nickrud * internet on Windows is sucky and i dont know this channel for the windows version of xchat i know its #ubuntu but the 1 i was on wasnt this 1 | 02:23 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, did you read what I said about hitting escape when you see something about grub on the screen? You should see more than one kernel, unless you removed the old one | 02:23 |
| MagicDuck | hmm, I just tried a sample and it didn't | 02:23 |
| Darkmystere | nickrud I did as u said before i choose old kernal Still not luck nor an error message | 02:23 |
| sCOTTo | build | 02:23 |
| eltux | gyaresu: It locked up again, its right after the xorg-server installs. its at 6% on the Select and install software list | 02:23 |

| MartianLobster | I have asked this several times already, WHAT INTALLS THE SYMLINKS IN /ETC/ALTERNATIVES????? it is humanly impossible to do this by hand. Something put the symlinks there when I installed java for the first time? Why can't I install symlinks now? | 02:24 |
| desertoasis20 | can anyone help with how to play .rmvb file | 02:24 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, what do you see after you select any kernel? Not necessarily errors ... | 02:24 |
| Darkmystere | I even tried to go into recovery it says /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk Does Not exsist Dropping to Shell | 02:24 |
| Darkmystere | Black Screen | 02:24 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: What seems to be the exact issue? | 02:24 |
| RyanPrior | !shout | MartianLobster | 02:24 |
| ubotu | MartianLobster: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 02:24 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, ah, no root disk | 02:24 |
| mugi | how to set up cgi-bin ? | 02:24 |
| th0r | MartianLobster are you trying to install them as root? | 02:24 |
| MartianLobster | yes | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | MartianLobster: the 'update-alternatives' command handles that i belive. | 02:25 |
| MartianLobster | should I use sudo instead? | 02:25 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, so how do i deleat the thing i installed? | 02:25 |
| Darkmystere | I used the Alpha Wubi Milfield it was working for a week or so it had this before but it was a simple defrag problem fixed but that doesnt seem to help anymore nickrud | 02:25 |
| Xintruder | hi, where can i find a guide for how to use compiz? | 02:25 |
| MartianLobster | Dr_Willis: but I have to do update-alternatives for every single symlink in the directory, there are about 40 of them. | 02:25 |
| Xintruder | short cuts and stuff | 02:25 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, oh, you're running wubi? I don't know a thing about wubi | 02:25 |
| Stwange | RyanPrior, I restarted X with ctrl-alt-backspace, but still no icons. I guess it's not THAT important :) | 02:25 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: Which thing? Weren't you just trying to install flash? | 02:25 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: Hmm... maybe you disabled the icons somewhere else? | 02:25 |
| Galactic | how do you fix the network manager to recognize ndiswrapper again? | 02:26 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: Can you create new icons on the desktop? | 02:26 |
| brenix | can anyone help me with an error? | 02:26 |
| Darkmystere | Well thats besides the point I used Wubi 7.10 to install Ubuntu 7.10 Instead of partioning | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | MartianLobster: i just use update-alternatives when i want to change some alternative.. ive never needed to use it in any other case. | 02:26 |
| Darkmystere | I just thought id mention it | 02:26 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: What alternative are you trying to updatE? | 02:26 |
| miraage | What's the admin password for CUPS? | 02:26 |
| gyaresu | eltux: same spot with different disk would make me think whichever programme is running right then has a bug with some peice of hardware. | 02:26 |
| astro76 | Darkmystere: it's not besides the point, it's significant | 02:26 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, ya, i got it but i said that i installed some other thing when i clicked the thing that said i needed flash when i went to a flashsite on firefox. | 02:26 |
| brenix | help anyone? getting error dependency is not satisfiable | 02:26 |
| === gokee2_ is now known as Gokee2_U | ||
| Stwange | RyanPrior, I can't even right click | 02:26 |
| Darkmystere | Oh Sorry i just didnt think there was a diffrence...there both Ubuntu 7.10 | 02:26 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: You could just ignore it. | 02:26 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, yes, it does nake a difference. It doesn't work exactly like a hard drive install, and I don't know just where the differences are | 02:27 |
| eltux | gyaresu: do you think it would make any difference if I installed the Xubuntu stuff instead of ubuntu? | 02:27 |
| Xintruder | guys, any ideas where can i see the shortcut buttons for ubuntu ??? | 02:27 |
| astro76 | Darkmystere: it's quite a hack to get that working, and IMHO not a really good idea | 02:27 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Nope. So I hope you prove me wrong becuase so far it's just evil. | 02:27 |
| Gokee2_U | How do I play .wmv files on ubuntu? On debian I would apt-get install w3codecs but I can`t seem to find them in ubuntu? | 02:27 |
| mugi | The requested URL /cgi-bin/uu_upload.pl was not found on this server. | 02:27 |
| astro76 | Darkmystere: but more importantly it's not an official ubuntu thing so people in here tend not to know about it | 02:27 |
| desertoasis20 | could anyone help me with how to play a .rmvb file | 02:27 |
| Darkmystere | Well I tried the HArd Drive Thing but i kept Deleting the Windows Partion and couldnt access windows | 02:27 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, it makes it so it doesent work | 02:27 |
| MartianLobster | pici, I am trying to do a fresh install of java. I was testing version 6, then I went to version 5. when I changed versions, it broke every symlink in the directory. I deleted all the symlinks, and apt-get install won't create new symlinks when I install a new versino of java. | 02:27 |
| gyaresu | !repos > Gokee2_U | 02:28 |
| gyaresu | Gokee2_U: Then you'll find your codecs. | 02:28 |
| Gokee2_U | gyaresu, Ah ok thanks | 02:28 |
| gyaresu | !codecs > Gokee2_U | 02:28 |
| th0r | Gokee2_U I believe they are w32codecs...you missed a 2 | 02:28 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: still here? I might have figured it out. | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | MartianLobster: try sudo update-alternatives --all | 02:28 |
| Darkmystere | Well My Main problem is i spent 1 1/2 weeks customizing personalizing ect And trouble shooting and i have Important Documents Placed on there ... it took 5 hours in its self to get the system up to date | 02:28 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: TheHappyFatElf> gyaresu, ya, i got it but i said that i installed some other thing when i clicked the thing that said i needed flash when i went to a flashsite on firefox. | 02:28 |
| Gokee2_U | Ah yes I guess I did | 02:28 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: let me check something, hold on | 02:28 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, are you running vista? | 02:28 |
| Stwange | im here RyanPrior | 02:29 |
| Darkmystere | Nope XP | 02:29 |
| eltux | gyaresu: yeah, I've never had this many problems installing ubuntu | 02:29 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: No idea what that was. Sorry. | 02:29 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: You'll also need to make sure that "show_desktop" is set to true in apps/nautilus/preferences | 02:29 |
| Thornsberry | Can someone give me a hand really quick? | 02:29 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, thats what i said. | 02:29 |
| * eltux throws Thornsberry a hand | 02:29 | |
| * holiday42 claps | 02:29 | |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, I don't know if it's possible, but you might want to see if you can resize the ntfs partition from inside windows. If you can, when you install ubuntu you can just tell it to use the space you freed up | 02:29 |
| Thornsberry | Thanks. | 02:29 |
| Darkmystere | I know the Vista Being Stingy Part lol U have to make the partions in vista before u do it in Ubuntu Thats not my problem im running Windows XP media Center Editon i.e Proffecinall | 02:29 |
| RyanPrior | !someone | Thornsberry | 02:29 |
| ubotu | Thornsberry: 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? | 02:29 |
| StevieWonder | Evening all, have just installed Gutsy, having a problem getting Flash to work. Would appreciate some advice...> | 02:29 |
| StevieWonder | ? | 02:29 |
| Pici | !flashissues | StevieWonder | 02:30 |
| ubotu | StevieWonder: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 02:30 |
| Xintruder | anyone using compiz atm ?? | 02:30 |

| Stwange | sweet thanks RyanPrior :) don't want to push it, but you don't know anything about external drives do you? | 02:30 |
| Thornsberry | I have a bunch of .rmvb files and I can't get them to open. I've tried using Totem but I still can't get them to work. What do I need to do? | 02:30 |
| Darkmystere | Well The Wubi installed Has VERRY important documents i could get fired for not having them prepped and ready on monday they took mounths to complete | 02:30 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, so do I, about the vista stuff I had to repartition my drive from scratch after trying to resize the ntfs with the ubuntu installer | 02:30 |
| RyanPrior | Stwange: I use a couple myself, and I'm here to help people, so shoot all your questions out to the room and we'll try to help. | 02:30 |
| Xintruder | ubotu: I did ask.. no one replied -_-... | 02:30 |
| Darkmystere | lol same for about 12 times.. | 02:31 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, so u have no idea what that thing is/ | 02:31 |
| Xintruder | I need a link or something (help) in how to use compiz | 02:31 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 02:31 |
| nickrud | astro76, do you know anyone that does know wubi , Darkmystere really needs to get at the docs in it | 02:31 |
| Xintruder | 7.10 | 02:31 |
| Darkmystere | Could u try and go off ur knowledge about why the Root Disk Woudl be Missing? | 02:31 |
| Thornsberry | Anyone know what I need to do? | 02:31 |
| mike9682000 | evening! I am having trouble installing ubuntu with an X1950 could anyone help? | 02:31 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, I don't even know how to access the wubi file | 02:32 |
| shadix | having a wee bit o trouble using Compiz, i have the Compizconfig settings manager installed but how do i use Compiz? | 02:32 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects, enable them there | 02:32 |
| astro76 | nickrud, Darkmystere, then just use a livecd to rescue the docs | 02:32 |
| Darkmystere | With Wubi there placed in windows | 02:32 |
| Darkmystere | Im on the live cd... | 02:32 |
| astro76 | nickrud, Darkmystere, ah right the wubi partition thing | 02:32 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: My initial findings show that dpkg might install those | 02:32 |
| th0r | Thornsberry just a guess...but the 'rm' leads me to believe they might be realplayer files | 02:32 |
| neil_d | th0r: getting closer, that gave me a window filled with a hash pattern, I then also started 'gnome-panel' this gave my the top and bottom panel bars :) but when I start any app the windows don't have any border/decorations :( | 02:32 |
| astro76 | Darkmystere: this is why I think it's not a good idea | 02:32 |
| Pici | Darkmystere: You said you deleted your windows parition though, right? | 02:32 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: its enabled! but i see no melt down or fire effects, like movies from youtube | 02:32 |
| MartianLobster | pici, so what do I tell dpkg to do to reinstall the missing symlinks? | 02:33 |
| nickrud | astro76, yes, I have no freaking clue. | 02:33 |
| Darkmystere | Well i reinstalled it and tried the Wubi Alternitive | 02:33 |
| Stwange | The issue I am having is with an NTFS external drive being read-only. When I first connected it I wrote a load of stuff to it, but now I can't change or add anything. I tried using ntfs-config and enabling write (which wasn't enabled before when it worked) but I still can't write to the drive | 02:33 |
| Thornsberry | Yes, they are real player files. | 02:33 |
| neil_d | th0r: and no Desktop backdrop. | 02:33 |
| shadix | Xintruder: i'm having the same issue | 02:33 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: To get that stuff you need to use the advanced configuration editor, CompizConfigSettingsManager. | 02:33 |
| Lulu | Hi, anyone have tips on what to do if you get a "No screens found" error when installing 7.04? I've got an HP Pavilion dv6500z.. | 02:33 |
| Darkmystere | Stwange For windows or Ubuntu u need to download a new driver that lets u do Read and Write sorry i dont know anything more | 02:33 |
| astro76 | Lulu: you should try 7.10 | 02:33 |
| Thornsberry | Th0r: Any idea what I need to do to get them to work? | 02:33 |
| th0r | neil_d I can't be much more help...I use xfce for my wm. But I have tried gnome and I had the same problem...the title bar is missing on mine. But I never worked on it 'cause like I said....xfce is (in my opinion) much better | 02:33 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: do i emerge that or something >< ! | 02:33 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, all I can suggest is asking now and again for help along the lines of 'my wubi install won't boot and I need to get some files off it' | 02:34 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, YES! it works! I searched synaptic for flash andc the thing that i installed was Gnash | 02:34 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: that's Gentoo-speak. In Ubuntu, you use apt-get | 02:34 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, thaks dude | 02:34 |
| Stwange | Darkmystere, I think the drive is NTFS-Config, which comes with 7.10, I have that installed, and I can write to my internal NTFS partition, and I used to be able to write to the external one but now I can't | 02:34 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: Actually... just try doing `sudo update-alternatives --config java` first and see if it works. | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lulu: At start or install hit F6 and type in noapic see if it boots... | 02:34 |
| th0r | Thornsberry might try installing realplayer? | 02:34 |
| TheHappyFatElf | gyaresu, thanks | 02:34 |
| Nem3sis | Quick question (hopefully), im trying to get my soundcard to work, when i type lsmod snd-ens1371 shows up alongside snd (among others) and modprobe snd-ens1371 shows no errors, however when i type aplay -l i get a message saying no soundcards found | 02:34 |
| gyaresu | TheHappyFatElf: Hey. Glad you fixed it :) | 02:34 |
| neil_d | th0r: thanks for the help. | 02:34 |
| shadix | RyanPrior: I have that installed but i still don't see the effects. do I need to enable Extra visual effects or custom in apperance managaer? | 02:34 |
| extracted | Does any one have a link to a tutorial on how to install the new amd/ati graphics driver ? | 02:34 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:34 |
| Pici | Darkmystere: Can you please prefix your responses with who you are talking to? | 02:34 |
| Darkmystere | Yea.. Sorry about that Pici | 02:35 |
| RyanPrior | shadix: You need to enable Custom, and then use the Custom options to enable things like fire. | 02:35 |
| Nem3sis | a lot of forums mention using alsaconf but that apparently ha been removed in 7.10 | 02:35 |
| th0r | neil_d one more note....don't use a desktop background in vnc...slows things down...and investigate NX from nomachine.com....much faster and more secure than vnc | 02:35 |
| desertoasis20 | th0r: can I install realplayer or real alternative on ubuntu | 02:35 |
| Scunizi | Just installed Gutsy on son's computer. Went to youtube to force flash install. Installed, rebooted and still doesn't work. Any ideas how to fix it? | 02:35 |
| Xintruder | im on it, thanks man | 02:35 |
| mike9682000 | extracted think I got the same prob | 02:35 |
| RyanPrior | shadix: It's one of those things that's a lot easier to show in person, I wish I could look over your shoulder and walk you through it. =D | 02:35 |
| Lulu | astro76: I tried that, but it dropped me off at a command prompt and I couldn't figure out where to go from there, after giving me a graphics error (I've never installed linux before) | 02:35 |
| shadix | RyanPrior: it says the composite extrention is not available | 02:35 |
| wwjd | wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow | 02:35 |
| th0r | desertoasis20 far as I know...I run ubuntu on my server, so don't install those things | 02:35 |
| Pici | Darkmystere: If you deleted your windows partition, and installed using wubi, you effectively deleted ubuntu as well. | 02:35 |
| Darkmystere | Stwange U may Have to (if ur trying to access windows from ubuntu) Download a New Driver and reinstall So ull be able to Read And Write | 02:35 |
| Pici | wwjd: please dont. | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Nem3sis: check dmesg befor/after loading that module.. that may be the wrong one for your card.. | 02:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues > Scunizi | 02:36 |
| RyanPrior | shadix: That means your graphics card isn't set up to handle compiz. | 02:36 |
| Darkmystere | no i havent deleted it Recently | 02:36 |
| extracted | Does any one have a link to a tutorial on how to install the new amd/ati graphics driver ? | 02:36 |
| wwjd | what does mai name stand for? | 02:36 |
| Xintruder | http://qa.archive.ubuntu.com <<< I never knew there were ubuntu servers in Qatar, were there >< ! | 02:36 |
| RyanPrior | shadix: What graphics card to you have? | 02:36 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, you should try here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 | 02:36 |
| Darkmystere | Pici No i havent deleted it recently | 02:36 |

| Scunizi | Thanks Jack_Sparrow | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:36 |
| desertoasis20 | th0r: do you have any ideas on other realplayer-like players | 02:36 |
| Darkmystere | Pici i tried it 12 times before eventually trying the Wubi Alternitive | 02:36 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: (Reading database ... E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly | 02:36 |
| Scunizi | Jack_Sparrow: does the gnash plugin work? | 02:36 |
| Darkmystere | Pici I havent deleted the windows partion | 02:37 |
| Pici | Darkmystere: I'm not sure then, try the wubi forums for support. | 02:37 |
| RyanPrior | shadix: You can try using xgl. The package name is xserver-xorg I think | 02:37 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: Don't hit control+c | 02:37 |

| Pici | Darkmystere: Not that I'm aware of. | 02:37 |
| Nem3sis | Dr_Willis, no errors, it seems to be the right chipset when checking the name on the card and checking the alsa-device list | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Scunizi: I made a backup and used the fix.. Knowing I may need to restore after the real fix is released | 02:37 |
| th0r | desertoasis20 I don't like real....don't trust them...so I don't install a player. I have only vlc and mplayer on my laptop...and quicktime and flash of course for the web | 02:37 |
| Dr_Willis | i think i would stick with vmware+ubuntu instead of wubi.. but thats just me. :P | 02:37 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: sorry man im new to this >< ! | 02:37 |
| mike9682000 | evening! I am having trouble installing ubuntu with an X1950 could anyone help? | 02:37 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: No worries. :-) | 02:37 |
| eltux | gyaresu: it still didn't do it | 02:37 |
| Stwange | Darkmystere, I think I already have :) ntfs-3g but it doesn't work | 02:38 |
| eltux | gyaresu: it failed again | 02:38 |
| Lulu | Jack_Sparrow: I'll try that out, ty! | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:38 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: its installed, do installed programs go to a certain directory always? | 02:38 |
| desertoasis20 | th0r: alright thanks man... in that case do you know a program where I can convert files | 02:38 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: Nope, they could go anywhere. | 02:38 |
| th0r | desertoasis20 for real? no | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: May I have a short PM... | 02:38 |
| gyaresu | eltux: hdd/cdrom/alternate/xubuntu/memtest/ | 02:38 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: This particular one goes into that Appearances menu. | 02:38 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, sure, any time | 02:38 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: There will now be a new option called Custom, and that's what you want to enable the fire and stuff. | 02:38 |
| Xintruder | its there | 02:38 |
| Xintruder | ur right | 02:39 |
| Xintruder | :D | 02:39 |
| desertoasis20 | th0r: alrighty then | 02:39 |
| bulmer | mike9682000, umm what is X1950? | 02:39 |
| Darkmystere | Stwange Then it May be And error That has to do with ur HardDrive Try JKDefrag For windows and then find a Defragger For Ubuntu and defrag and come back with ur results | 02:39 |
| gyaresu | eltux: I feel like it's the installer software. May be that there are other boot parameters you could pass to the kernel to help. | 02:39 |
| MartianLobster | pick, I try dpkg --configure PACKAGEX , and i get an error PACKAGEX already installed and configurd. So I still don't see how to configure a package and install the symlinks. | 02:39 |
| shadix | RyanPrior: what exactly is xgl? | 02:39 |
| saalar | Guys can someone tell me if I can download INTEL GMA 945 mobile Video card DRIVERS somewhere ? | 02:39 |
| eltux | gyaresu: mabee but I don't know anymore | 02:39 |
| ac7ss | Help with NFS please? | 02:39 |
| RyanPrior | shadix: It's a replacement x server that enables graphical effects on many ATI graphics cards. | 02:39 |
| Pici | MartianLobster: Did you try doing `sudo update-alternatives --config java` ? | 02:39 |
| gyaresu | eltux: There'll be a list. I'll look. | 02:39 |
| MagicDuck | Ok, I fsck-ed the partition, and there seems to be nothing wrong. Here is the sequence that causes the problem: mkdir blah; touch blah/foo; touch blah/goo; chmod -R 666 blah (you get permission denied); ls -l blah: ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? blah/foo and ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? blah/goo | 02:39 |
| shadix | ah | 02:40 |
| bulmer | ac7ss, state the issue or problem | 02:40 |
| eltux | gyaresu: I'm open to anything right now, I'm actually thinking about putting xp on it :\ | 02:40 |
| ac7ss | I have tried to get nfs running, but the mount keeps timing out. | 02:40 |
| MewRS | hey guys! | 02:40 |
| MewRS | is there any problems in installing 32 libs in a 64 system? | 02:40 |
| mike9682000 | bulmer: radeon X1950 video card (PCI express) | 02:40 |
| th0r | ac7ss are you using samba? | 02:40 |
| MartianLobster | pici, I will try than | 02:40 |
| RyanPrior | MewRS: Shouldn't be. They won't be able to take advantage of 64-bit capabilities, obviously. | 02:40 |
| ac7ss | The samba is running, but I am trying to use NFS | 02:40 |
| bulmer | mike9682000, which ubuntu are you attempting to install? | 02:40 |
| mike9682000 | 7.10 | 02:41 |
| gyaresu | eltux: 'irqpoll' and 'acpi=off' | 02:41 |
| ac7ss | Should I stop samba? | 02:41 |
| th0r | ac7ss did you define a password using smbpasswd? | 02:41 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | Hi all, can someone please explain what a swap partition is and what it does. Im trying to install ubuntu on a newly created 10gb partition. I have 3 partition in total. Windows 20gb, linux 10gb and other, 120gb. Thanks | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | !swap | 02:41 |
| ubotu | swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 02:41 |
| ac7ss | I would rather use NFS, not samba | 02:41 |
| mike9682000 | bulmer, can I pm you? | 02:41 |
| Nem3sis | what alternative is there to alsaconf? | 02:41 |
| Stwange | Darkmystere, the internal drive works fine, it's the external drive I'm having trouble with. It says it's read only, but it wasn't before. I'm not sure how I could defrag it without write access | 02:41 |
| eltux | gyarseu: so where am I putting this? and with what cd? | 02:41 |
| ac7ss | The users are the same on both machines. | 02:41 |
| MagicDuck | can somebody running gutsy open a terminal and try the following sequence for me? : mkdir blah; touch blah/foo; touch blah/goo; chmod -R 666 blah (you get permission denied); ls -l | 02:41 |
| shadix | RyanPrior: ok it's dled and installed do I have to active it or just try now | 02:41 |
| bulmer | mike9682000, no, here is good enuff so others can learn or correct us | 02:41 |
| Dr_Willis | F-u-z-z-Y: you proberly want to make a 512mb or so swap partition also. | 02:41 |
| mike9682000 | ok | 02:41 |
| gyaresu | eltux: boot parameter from the start. add both of those. (use the alternative iso, it's my fav) | 02:42 |
| mike9682000 | i tried to reconfigure from the terminal with the x server ati driver | 02:42 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | ah, so i should have 2 partitions for linux then. a 10gb partition and .5gb partition. | 02:42 |
| Darkmystere | Stwang What version of Ubuntu are u using? it could be that the usb Flash drive That your using is incompatible (sorry for being so not really helping but im going off my Knowledge) | 02:42 |
| gyaresu | eltux: Do you have a SATA drive? | 02:42 |
| mike9682000 | and i get "no matching device section for instance PCI 05:00:1 | 02:42 |
| quagga | hmm, would cacti be an appropriate way of monitoring say 4 of my machines from one via the web? i sort of want an overview of my computer world | 02:42 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | Is it safe to continure without a swap partition? | 02:42 |
| eltux | gyaresu: no not on this pc | 02:42 |
| gyaresu | eltux: cool. | 02:43 |
| gyaresu | eltux: So you know where to put the params? | 02:43 |
| th0r | ac7ss you might look here.... http://www.webservertalk.com/archive211-2005-8-1182602.html | 02:43 |
| Dr_Willis | drw-rw-rw- 2 willis willis 4096 2008-01-05 21:42 blah MagicDuck: | 02:43 |
| mike9682000 | I have the ATI drivers on a CD, how do I launch them? | 02:43 |
| Darkmystere | Is there a way to do a Safe Partioning in Ubuntu live CD? | 02:43 |
| eltux | gyaresu: yes, I just did | 02:43 |
| Stwange | erm I just realised my external drive is FAT32, I just presumed it was NTFS. Is there a way to convert it without losing files? | 02:43 |
| Goupil418 | Hi guys I'd like to know why I can't see my python 2.5 in my applications, I have the IDLE program but not python I don't know where to find it | 02:43 |
| MewRS | RyanPrior: The APT said thate i would probably do a destructable thing! O.O | 02:43 |
| MagicDuck | something is seriously weird here. The first partition I tried this on was reiserfs. Then I have tried it on another ext3 partition and same story. | 02:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | F-u-z-z-Y: There is a way to use a swapfile.. but I dont know how and we dont support it. | 02:44 |
| ac7ss | Th0r: I am running linux only. | 02:44 |
| Darkmystere | Stwang I think i heard some wher that FAT(insert number here) a certain model is incompatible with certain Ubuntu Versions | 02:44 |
| th0r | ac7ss so am I...but samba works so much better than nfs | 02:44 |
| Dr_Willis | MagicDuck: why wuld you remove the executable from the dir? that makes it unuseable :) | 02:44 |
| Pici | Goupil418: Python is part of the Ubuntu install, what do you mean by you cant see the python? | 02:44 |
| th0r | ac7ss but the reason I pointed you there...the note about not running samba AND nfs | 02:44 |
| === ajmorris|AFCLI is now known as ajmorris | ||
| Dr_Willis | MagicDuck: ext3 here.. | 02:45 |
| Goupil418 | Pici, I don't know where to start the program | 02:45 |
| bulmer | mike9682000, you already installed ubuntu or you are about to? | 02:45 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | Can i continue without a swap partition and add one in later? | 02:45 |
| mike9682000 | I installed ubuntu with the text only CD | 02:45 |
| MagicDuck | it should work anyway | 02:45 |
| === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik | ||
| mike9682000 | on a blank HDD (SATA) | 02:45 |
| Pici | Goupil418: just type python on a terminal | 02:45 |
| ac7ss | th0r: thank you. perhaps I will try that and get back to you all. | 02:45 |
| iN00DLE | continue with what exactly F-u-z-z-Y ? | 02:45 |
| Goupil418 | Pici, Thanks alot! | 02:45 |
| c1|freaky | hi all. how can i cp a harddrive to another as a backup for soon restorage? i have a problem with partition sizes that's why i need that | 02:45 |
| MagicDuck | Dr_WIllis: what kernel do you have | 02:46 |
| bulmer | ac7ss, can you paste your exports file | 02:46 |
| c1|freaky | if i cp -a it hangs in the /proc directory | 02:46 |
| MagicDuck | I have 2.6.22-14-generic | 02:46 |
| bulmer | c1|freaky, do not copy /proc nor /sys | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | MagicDuck: Linux MythBox 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP T | 02:46 |
| Carbonflux | does LiveCD have any way to test a drive before installing ? | 02:46 |
| c1|freaky | ok | 02:46 |
| th0r | c1|freaky look at the dd command....it allow syou to create an exact copy of a drive or file | 02:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux: Yes.. | 02:46 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | iNOODLE: continue with the install | 02:46 |
| Dr_Willis | Carbonflux: test drive what? the live cd - is test drive I guess ya can say. | 02:46 |
| tanlaan | I own a compaq presario f572us and I went through the steps to get my wireless working. It "does" work. I am currently connected to the wireless while typing this up, but the bandwidth is extremely slow =[ | 02:46 |
| tanlaan | any help? | 02:46 |
| bulmer | th0r, he should not be copying /proc nor /sys | 02:47 |
| c1|freaky | th0r: no - in the end ill have the same problem again see: http://main.freakyy.de/df.txt and http://main.freakyy.de/cfdisk.txt :\ | 02:47 |
| iN00DLE | sure F-u-z-z-Y , in most cases, you can use gparted after install, resize a partition and make a swap | 02:47 |
| Carbonflux | I want to test a HD | 02:47 |
| Ashfire908 | I'm looking for a way to be able to remotely use my computer. The vnc that came with Ubuntu is nice, but I want to be able to remotely start a session, and take a lot less bandwidth. I've tried launching x-session-manager remotely through ssh but i get errors, and i can't just close it and walk over to the host and have everything still running. | 02:47 |
| c1|freaky | i did that with partimage | 02:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Carbonflux: Start or install is the test drive and will not install until you click an icon on the desktop after you feel comfoprtable | 02:47 |
| Darkmystere | Hope i Helped STwange | 02:47 |
| th0r | bulmer yeah...but I no longer try to figure it out...it gives me headaches <smile> | 02:47 |
| c1|freaky | i didnt read the help | 02:47 |
| Ashfire908 | anyone know of something that could fit my needs? | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | Carbonflux: OH! you mean 'test a drive' - not take a car for a 'test drive' :P | 02:47 |
| bulmer | Ashfire908, look into FreeNX | 02:47 |
| Carbonflux | lol ya | 02:47 |
| MagicDuck | chomd -R 766 seems to work | 02:47 |
| Stwange | no, but you tried Darkmystere =) | 02:48 |
| c1|freaky | just started and now i have a 150GB partition copied on a 750GB partition which in df -h is displayed as a 150GB partition and in cfdisk displayed as a 750GB partition | 02:48 |
| c1|freaky | that sucks | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Carbonflux: what kind of filesystem? the mkfs tools should be there in the command line for most. | 02:48 |
| Carbonflux | I want to test the destination drive integrity before I install heh | 02:48 |
| th0r | Ashfire908 look at NX from nomachine.com | 02:48 |
| Pici | Ashfire908: Perhaps freenx | 02:48 |
| Darkmystere | LOL i know... | 02:48 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | ok, how do i add a swap partition to it once ubuntu is installed. right now, i have a window saying u ahve not seleted a partion to be used as a swap partion, go back or continue? | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Carbonflux: fsck - i mean.. not mkfs. :) | 02:48 |
| Darkmystere | Im still Trying lol now im off my knowledge and on to GOOGLE!!! LOL | 02:48 |
| Darkmystere | Strwange Google is ur fried =) | 02:48 |
| iN00DLE | I would go back if you are only at that stage, F-u-z-z-Y | 02:48 |
| Carbonflux | I drive in really old, I think its a FAT but I have honestly forgotten whats on the dirve | 02:48 |
| Carbonflux | drive* | 02:48 |
| Darkmystere | LOL Strwange i mean Friend | 02:48 |
| Stwange | Darkmystere, I search google actively when I ask for help, and I will carry on doing so | 02:49 |
| Darkmystere | Say ur Problem again Ill type it into google lol | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Carbonflux: Hmm.. theres some vfat tools.. but i dont rember their names.. or know if theya re on the live cd. THERE are some 'system rescue' live cd's that have the tools. | 02:49 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | ok, does it matter if i create the swap partition at the end of the drive. Cant be bothered waiting to move the 120GB partition again? | 02:49 |
| BlackCow | could you guys recommend an ftp server program for my server? something relatively simple? | 02:49 |
| Darkmystere | ill Specially word it how i got my answers | 02:49 |
| mike9682000 | ~quit | 02:49 |
| bulmer | odd experience today... we some some light luckily but at low frequency (dim lights) and computer will not boot.. | 02:49 |
| Darkmystere | Is ubuntu on its on partion or no strwange? | 02:49 |
| iN00DLE | can go anywhere you want F-u-z-z-Y | 02:49 |
| bulmer | had* some | 02:49 |
| trx | BlackCow, proftpd is a pretty good ftp server | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | BlackCow: its best to learn to use ssh :) I dont use any of the ftp servers any more , so i cant really reccomend one. | 02:49 |
| th0r | BlackCow wuftp is installed by default I think...but vsftp isn't too much harder to config and more secure | 02:49 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | ok, iNOODLE, one last thing, what size do u recommend? | 02:49 |
| iN00DLE | how much ram F-u-z-z-Y ? | 02:50 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | 2gb | 02:50 |
| matholum | hello everyone.... can someone tell how programming works in ubuntu... java would work ofcourse but in school they stick to .net and c#.... | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. thers no ftp server installed by default. | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: pick a langage,, install it.. start programing. | 02:50 |
| iN00DLE | I go with the amount of ram the machine has, some go with only 1gb | 02:50 |
| tanlaan | need help with wireless speeds | 02:50 |
| Ashfire908 | FreeNX is completely overkill | 02:50 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | iD00DLE: ok 2GB it is then, thank you | 02:51 |
| Galactic | dr_willis do you know how to fix a network manager problems? such as I unloaded the driver for ndiswrapper and when I reloaded it now it wont even show up on the network manager | 02:51 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, it just seems so different... being that it isn't .exe and all | 02:51 |
| cubexombi | anyone have a clue as to why Flash audio/video would skip (like a scratched CD) the resume playback as normal, assuming I'm not using any other audio application? | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: 'mono' is the gpl equilivent to .net i hear.. but ive never used it. | 02:51 |
| Goupil418 | I'm watching the Matrix like every year this movie is the bomb | 02:51 |
| bulmer | Ashfire908, nope, a wonderful tool to have | 02:51 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: a file extension is trivial. | 02:51 |
| Darkmystere | Well ive been googling for days no luck Yet Any 1 can help me Besides Pici he already stated he couldnt | 02:51 |
| th0r | Ashfire908 NX is the only thing you will find that is faster than vnc | 02:51 |
| iN00DLE | ot but that movie changed action flicks, Goupil418 | 02:51 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, i've heard of mono but i thought it was still vert experimental | 02:51 |
| matholum | **very | 02:52 |
| Goupil418 | inoodle, best movie ever imho | 02:52 |
| vocx | matholum, tons of info on programming in the Programming Talk subforum, in ubuntuforums.org | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: i dont mess with mono. and i avoide .net like the plague :) | 02:52 |
| Ashfire908 | it's not the lag or anything it's the bandwidth | 02:52 |
| c1|freaky | hey all. is there a possibility with cp to copy all directorys but those listed in a exception list or smth? | 02:52 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: all i do - i can do with perl and bash. | 02:52 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, now that i have started using ubuntu i try to too | 02:52 |
| th0r | Ashfire908 right...but the only choices you have are to forward X via ssh, run vnc, or use NX...and NX has the others beat on all fronts | 02:52 |
| vocx | matholum, C# and mono expert there is user "emperon" He claims it works okay. | 02:53 |
| bulmer | Ashfire908, the suggestion is from experience.. | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: perl is avail for windows also. :) | 02:53 |
| matholum | vocx, thanks... i'll browse through that | 02:53 |
| newc | hi, i have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ and im about to compile the kernel on ubuntu 7.10 i386, on make xconfig, on processor type, should i select MK7 or MK8? | 02:53 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: but it depends on what you are doing. as what program langiage to use. | 02:53 |
| Gokee2_temp | Can I make ubuntu redo my sources list? The installer commented most stuff out because it could not find the server because I did not have the computer plugged into the network yet. | 02:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: Not without some scripting... | 02:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !easysource > Gokee2_temp | 02:53 |
| c1|freaky | ok then ill copy every directory by itself | 02:53 |
| Gokee2_temp | Jack_Sparrow, Ah thanks :) | 02:54 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, I have been told just to use java for absolutely everything since that works in everything... but i dunno | 02:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 02:54 |
| bulmer | Gokee2_temp, make a copy of your source.list just in case | 02:54 |
| Ashfire908 | but it's overkill. i don't need a full blown virtualization system. i need remote desktop. | 02:54 |
| th0r | c1|freaky you might take a look at rsync or the gui grsync....don't know if they will work for you or not | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: it would be silly to use java - if the task could be done in a 3 line perl script. :) | 02:54 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | Non related to linux question: My desktop pc has started bleeping lately, bleeping, i mean system bleeps. Any ideas. I was told it could be a warning that my cpu temperature id too high but the fan is spinning and the heat sink is stone cold. I am not sure of the temp of the CPU as it does not say in my BIOS. Hard drives are running about 39 and 41 degrees. Which is normal i think. So any ideas? thanks | 02:54 |
| c1|freaky | th0r: no thanks im on a server | 02:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gokee2_temp: cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/Desktop/sources.list.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) | 02:54 |
| vocx | matholum, my single advice is to avoid IDES. Learn to program by yourself writing all code. Then after you know how to compile and how everything fits, then use IDEs for productivity. | 02:54 |
| Pici | F-u-z-z-Y: non ubuntu related hardware question--> ask in ##hardware | 02:54 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, lol... very true... | 02:55 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 02:55 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: but perl is a darn handy tool to know about. others prefer python, or others. | 02:55 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: thats the joy of linux - all these tools are just an apt-get install away. | 02:55 |
| matholum | vocx, that is a good plan... that is how i have done things before and it just makes more sense... you actually know what you are doing | 02:56 |
| Tetracomm | Hi. | 02:56 |
| Gokee2_temp | How do I get restricted sources from source-o-magic? | 02:56 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, true.... i love that ^_^ | 02:56 |
| Tetracomm | Does anyone know how I can get ubuntu's fonts to look more like WIndows'? I prefer how sharp and clean looking the Windows one is, Ubuntus is soft looking, help? | 02:56 |
| BlackCow | sorry I left, thanks for the recommendations. I am also trying to get ssh to work but I want ftp for my friends to all share files. | 02:56 |
| matholum | Dr_Willis, I have thought about learning perl before... it would be a good thing to know | 02:57 |
| RyanPrior | Tetracomm: There are a few ways. One is to install the Windows fonts. | 02:57 |
| cubexombi | anyone have a clue as to why Flash audio/video would skip (like a scratched CD) the resume playback as normal for a solid few minutes before reoccurring, assuming I'm not using any other audio application? | 02:57 |
| PurpZeY | !font | Tetracomm | 02:57 |
| ubotu | Tetracomm: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 02:57 |
| RyanPrior | Tetracomm: The other is to enable sub-pixel shading, if your monitor supportsit. | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Tetracomm: install the ms fonts package. theres also the liberation fonts package thats nice. | 02:57 |

| Stwange | can anyone tell me how to convert a drive from fat32 to ntfs without data loss on ubuntu? | 02:57 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: learning perl is good.. learning/mastering 'regular Expressions ' is a MUST. :) | 02:58 |
| th0r | Stwange will put it in pastebin...just a sec | 02:58 |
| Darkmystere | Well Recently i Got a new Kernal Packet in an effort to Getting my sound issue solved | 02:58 |

| eltux | gyaresu: didn't work :\ | 02:58 |
| gyaresu | eltux: meh. So annoying. | 02:59 |
| th0r | Stwange http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50925/ | 02:59 |
| Pici | Stwange: I know its possible in Windows, but I'm not sure how to do it in Linux | 02:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stwange: There are always dangers working on a drive at that level without a backup. | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | matholum: then learning perl should be trivial :P | 02:59 |
| leal | somebody can help with TF2? | 02:59 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, sorry i cant assist you with sound, i dont have sound myself | 02:59 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer the New Kernal is called ubuntu7.10 2.6.22-14-rt | 02:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stwange: and like Picic said.. it is easy in Windows | 02:59 |
| Darkmystere | no lol | 02:59 |
| Tetracomm | Can I use apt-get to install them? | 02:59 |
| atoponce | leal: what's tf2? | 02:59 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer lol that wasnt my problem i was leading up to it.. | 02:59 |
| leal | team fortress 2 | 02:59 |
| leal | orange box. | 03:00 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, go on.. | 03:00 |
| leal | somebody play tf2 without problems in ubuntu? | 03:00 |
| Pici | !enter | Darkmystere | 03:00 |
| ubotu | Darkmystere: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:00 |
| atoponce | leal: not familiar with that. sorry | 03:00 |
| matholum | then i might learn it just to have sumn else under my belt.... what are most linux programs writeen in though... like firefox, vlc, pidgn... | 03:00 |
| Stwange | th0r, that's instructions for Windows :) so ok I'll go for a reboot | 03:00 |
| PurpZeY | matholum: A lot of them are in c | 03:00 |
| leal | i have all the other "four" games working in ubuntu, but tf2 no.. | 03:00 |
| th0r | Stwange yeah...I wouldn't try it in linux....too risky | 03:00 |
| PurpZeY | leal: Do they run native, or under wine? | 03:01 |
| Pici | leal: Try asking in #winehq | 03:01 |
| leal | thanks, i'm asking now, but without luck. | 03:01 |
| matholum | PurpXeY, i have looked into c only a little before, but that may be good to look into also | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leal: Have patience, they will answer | 03:01 |
| pmcnabb_ | is there a way to have PAM record logins/logouts in a mysql table? | 03:02 |
| Darkmystere | Lol, Bulmer, Sorry guys horrible habbit. Anyways i got the kernal and then tried to startup usualy my hardrive lights go on alot but to my surprize it blinks twice so as usual i go back and press ESC and select the old kernal it blinks a little more But Leads to a Black Screen no Eror | 03:02 |
| RyanPrior | matholum: The official preferred language for Ubuntu development is Python | 03:02 |
| leal | Jack_Sparrow: thanks. :) | 03:02 |
| PurpZeY | leal: I'd try forums or google on that too, presumably other people play that game under ubuntu | 03:02 |
| matholum | RyanPrior, ah, ok... good to know | 03:02 |
| vocx | matholum, yeah, if you want to do applications you should really look into C and C++. For small scripts, perl, python, tcl, ruby, will do. For other things, Java and C#... or whatever use you give them I don't know. | 03:02 |
| Lazarus | hi there, does anyone know of a program like nero for linux that transcodes .avi or .mpeg on the fly, as it burns to a dvd? | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | I cheat and reboot to windows to play TF2 :) | 03:02 |
| eltux | gyaresu: see what I sent you | 03:02 |
| RyanPrior | Lazarus: k3b | 03:02 |
| Lazarus | as in, burning an .avi or .mpeg to dvd video format, all in one step | 03:03 |
| Lazarus | RyanPrior, k3b doesn't transcode | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | ive not seen k3b vconvert avi to dvd.... | 03:03 |
| pooria | t | 03:03 |
| RyanPrior | Lazarus: Yes it does. | 03:03 |
| grout | anyone know of a good system monitor for gdesklets that dosnt look like crap? | 03:03 |
| Lazarus | RyanPrior, how do you do it then | 03:03 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, did you add an entry to your menu.lst for the new kernel and have retained an entry for the old one? | 03:03 |
| angel | is there a package that let me control my box via bluetooth device like a remote control? | 03:03 |
| th0r | Lazarus devede will do the conversion, but I am not sure if it is on the fly or not | 03:03 |
| pooria | hi , I have downloaded jdk from java.com , and this file is for linux and is .bin but I don't know how can I setup that , can anybody help me here? | 03:03 |
| PurpZeY | angel: Blue tooth is built into ubuntu | 03:03 |
| RyanPrior | vocx: Python can be used to develop quite large programs as well. | 03:04 |
| Xintruder | hi | 03:04 |
| kanuha | need help, I activated and changed the gnome splash screen, but the background color stays the same gradient brown/orange | 03:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | grout: Could you ask in a little less insulting way... | 03:04 |
| matholum | vocx, then i guess a have a bit of learning to do.... wish they'd have covered any one of those in school... but oh well | 03:04 |
| chaines | i'm trying to install ubuntu on a server which has a raid-5 hardware controller on it, the ubuntu sees the raid 5 as a single device (sda) | 03:04 |
| chaines | it installs, but then when i try to install grub to sd0 it doesn't work | 03:04 |
| Darkmystere | Bulme, I didnt manually add it i acctually downloaded a packadge from the ubuntu and then rebooted it booted into windows by accedent so i shut down and then boot into Ubuntu And i end Here so i try using the old kernal no such luck | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | pooria: you dont need to use the downloladed jdk at all. install the 'ubuntu-restricted-extras' package - and it will grab java and other tools you proberly want. | 03:04 |
| th0r | grout it isn't gnome specific, but have you looked at gkrellm? | 03:04 |
| chaines | can anyone point me in the right direction for getting this to work | 03:04 |
| leal | pooria: just chmod it, and ./execute it. | 03:04 |
| chaines | thanks in advance | 03:04 |
| grout | Ok, I love gdesklets but the widgets look kinda old | 03:04 |
| angel | PurpZeY, i know but i want to use my bluetooth device as a remote control. is this possible? | 03:04 |
| Xintruder | shift+Super+c.......... what is "Super"???????? | 03:04 |
| Xintruder | shift+super+c, what is super >< ?!?! | 03:04 |
| Xintruder | ops, sry | 03:05 |
| RyanPrior | angel: It's possible, but perhaps not very easy. | 03:05 |
| PurpZeY | angel: Yes. I've used my wii remotes as a remote. | 03:05 |
| cubexombi | <Xintruder> winkey | 03:05 |
| Pici | Xintruder: the 'windows' key | 03:05 |
| Xintruder | oh ok | 03:05 |
| Xintruder | thanks | 03:05 |
| th0r | grout I have run gkrellm as my system monitor for ages...and it still works great | 03:05 |
| vocx | RyanPrior, of course. | 03:05 |
| pooria | leal: when I try to run it by typing its path , It's trying to open it with gedit ! | 03:05 |
| Eyemean | hi, i have java installed, but for some reason sites still ask me to install java runtime environment in firefox, any1 have an idea pls? im using gutsy | 03:05 |
| angel | PurpZeY, is the wii remote bluetooth? | 03:05 |
| PurpZeY | angel: Yes. | 03:05 |
| SubCool | gkrellm rules.. | 03:05 |
| SubCool | i heard there is something better, but thats the easiest | 03:06 |
| bulmer | Eyemean, java jre installed or java jdk? | 03:06 |
| RyanPrior | Eyemean: You need to install the Java plugin for Firefox, not just the JRE. | 03:06 |
| * robdig wonders why the windows key is super...isn't that a oxymoron? | 03:06 | |
| Darkmystere | Xintruder U could just change the key bindings u wouldnt be as flustraded | 03:06 |
| leal | pooria: do you chmod it? | 03:06 |
| PurpZeY | angel: Someone wrote some software to interpret them as a mouse/pointer | 03:06 |
| pooria | chmod ? how can I do that? | 03:06 |
| PurpZeY | robdig: One for the ages. | 03:06 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer, Are You Still there? | 03:06 |
| Tri1 | could someone please help me set up right trackpad clicking on a new macbook? have tried suggestions from numerous forums but just break x with no success... | 03:06 |
| RyanPrior | robdig: It used to be called the "meta" key too, but that didn't stick as much as Super. | 03:06 |
| leal | chmod 755 "the file you have downloaded" | 03:06 |
| nickrud | robdig, nah, windows is trying to ride the reputation of the super key | 03:06 |
| Eyemean | rianprior, oh right, so do i do that via comman line or just got to firefox plguins? | 03:06 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, yes | 03:06 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, did you add an entry to your menu.lst for the new kernel and have retained an entry for the old one? | 03:06 |
| RyanPrior | Eyemean: It's probably in add/remove programs as well. | 03:07 |
| angel | PurpZeY, to interpret bluetooth devices in general or the wii remote spesifically? | 03:07 |
| c1|freaky | can i cp a harddrive from one to another, and restore it later, and it is still bootable? | 03:07 |
| Eyemean | ryanprior, k | 03:07 |
| c1|freaky | i mean using cp -a | 03:07 |
| pooria | ok I did it now , but still is same problem leal | 03:07 |
| PurpZeY | angel: For WiiMotes | 03:07 |
| bulmer | c1|freaky, uses dd for bit for bit copy | 03:07 |
| Ashfire908 | ...is there a way to share a application between two computers via ssh? | 03:07 |
| PurpZeY | angel: But I imagine there is other stuff around | 03:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone > c1|freaky | 03:07 |
| RyanPrior | Eyemean: Java 6 Web Start is what it's called, I think. | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Ashfire908: you mean 'see' the same app on both machines? | 03:07 |
| cocox | hi there guys im installing vmware workstation and im stuck when i get this message, how could i find in ubuntu where C headers are? | 03:08 |
| Darkmystere | Nickrud, LOL windows=chunky=unhappy=Annoyance=Microsoft going out of buisness Ubuntu WORLD DOmination!!! | 03:08 |
| cyph3x | has anyone came out with better atheros wifi driver than madwifi? im right next to my extended range router with 81% on an IBM z60t | 03:08 |
| c1|freaky | Jack_Sparrow: thats not what i need thank you | 03:08 |
| Dr_Willis | Ashfire908: you can ssh -X to a remote. run an app and have it appear on the local box - thats trivial. | 03:08 |
| cocox | What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running | 03:08 |
| cocox | kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] | 03:08 |
| cocox | The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory. | 03:08 |
| RyanPrior | cocox: C headers aren't installed unless you add the build-essential package | 03:08 |
| bulmer | cocox, normally if you have downloaded them its in /usr/src | 03:08 |
| c1|freaky | bulmer: are u sure dd will work? does dd save partitions? | 03:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: I use dd to clone drives myself | 03:08 |
| eltux | gyaresu: I booted into xp so if you find any ideas, send em to me. I'm going to play a game for a bit | 03:08 |
| cocox | ok guys let me check, thanks | 03:08 |
| th0r | Ashfire908: to have one box see the desktop or app from another box look at the screen command | 03:08 |
| c1|freaky | i dont need to clone it Jack_Sparrow the new hdd is larger than the old one and the partition will be larger. will it still work without problems? | 03:08 |
| bulmer | c1|freaky, try it | 03:08 |
| gyaresu | eltux: fair enough. | 03:08 |
| kanuha | need help, I activated and changed the gnome splash screen, but the background color stays the same gradient brown/orange | 03:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: Yes | 03:09 |
| c1|freaky | i wont try it because i allready tried using partimage | 03:09 |
| eltux | gyaresu: thanks for all your help today | 03:09 |
| RyanPrior | kanuha: The background color of what? | 03:09 |
| c1|freaky | Jack_Sparrow: so dd just copies, and doesnt restore the partitions? | 03:09 |
| vocx | cocox, check the virtualiztion subforum in ubuntuforums.org | 03:09 |
| biomega | hi | 03:09 |
| extracted | any one have a link to download AMD Proprietary Linux driver version 8.40.4 | 03:09 |
| bulmer | c1|freaky, yes it will work | 03:09 |
| gyaresu | eltux: pity we didn't succeed. | 03:09 |
| eltux | gyaresu: true | 03:09 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer, I beileave it did but i didnt manually do anything i beileave it retained the older kernal in the hidden menu with the newer 1 | 03:09 |
| c1|freaky | ok, ill try | 03:09 |
| biomega | i have a problem with the nvidia driver | 03:09 |
| biomega | >,> | 03:09 |
| cocox | RyanPrior, bulmer guys but in that question it says "with your matching kernell".. so would that be ok?? | 03:09 |
| RyanPrior | extracted: System -> Administration -> Restricted drivers manager | 03:09 |
| kanuha | RyanPrior, the background color that displays during the splach screen | 03:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: you can do a drive or partition... let me see if I have a page for dd | 03:09 |
| RyanPrior | cocox: I don't know. | 03:10 |
| extracted | that driver sucks | 03:10 |
| biomega | I have used that manager for install it | 03:10 |
| c1|freaky | ok | 03:10 |
| Xintruder | any of u guys know how to switch desktops using the cube thing with compiz? | 03:10 |
| Tetracomm | I installed the Windows fonts. | 03:10 |
| bulmer | cocox, yes its okay | 03:10 |
| biomega | but if i activate it i can put a bigger resolution that 800x600 | 03:10 |
| Tetracomm | How do I use them now? | 03:10 |
| Darkmystere | hey | 03:10 |
| RyanPrior | kanuha: My background color, for instance, is black. I don't know why yours would be different. | 03:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: See if this is more what you want.. http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd | 03:10 |
| Tetracomm | I don't know how to tell the difference between the Windows and Linux ones in the font manager. | 03:10 |
| Tetracomm | Help? | 03:10 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer does clicking ur name Filter out others? | 03:10 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: If you have the cube enabled, clicking on the virtual desktops or using ctrl+alt+left or right should switch. | 03:10 |
| c1|freaky | Jack_Sparrow: i need just a partition but without the information like just the file system restore without the partition table. i want to copy / (150GB part) to / (740GB partition) | 03:11 |
| th0r | Tetracomm just a sec | 03:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: See the link | 03:11 |
| c1|freaky | ok | 03:11 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: If that doesn't work, make sure you have set the number of virtual desktops to 4 in the Preferences widget. | 03:11 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, if you knew where the old kernel is, you can manually insert that in with grub at boot time, or modify menu.lst to have an entry pointing to the older kernel | 03:11 |
| biomega | can anyone help me with the driver? | 03:11 |
| mike1o | has anyone gotten hp scanjet 3800 working? it's supposed to be unsupported | 03:11 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: I love you man | 03:11 |
| Eyemean | ryanprior, thats werid cause i have that installed | 03:11 |
| Tri1 | does anyone know how to set up right click on a macbook trackpad? | 03:11 |
| Xintruder | it worked! | 03:11 |
| kanuha | RyanPrior, could it be a compiz thing keeping the color | 03:11 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, i dont know what you mean by clicking my nick? | 03:11 |
| Xintruder | Now i have my showoff laptop setup!!!!!!!! | 03:12 |
| mike1o | Tri1, mouseemu | 03:12 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: If you think that's cool, try holding ctrl+alt and click-dragging. | 03:12 |
| stephans | for some reason, although sound works fine in every other app I have... no sound will come out of Banshee... any Ideas? | 03:12 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmr Yea it seemed to have made a new thing with ur name | 03:12 |
| biomega | can anyone help me with the driver? :( | 03:12 |
| Xintruder | خةلخةل | 03:12 |
| th0r | Tetracomm http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50927/ it is an old note, but may still apply | 03:12 |
| MrFeetio | I am trying to upgrade libbluetooth2 but I get a dependency error "Depends: libc6 (>=2.7-1) but 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 is to be installed" | 03:12 |
| Xintruder | ops | 03:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: The alternate would be to back it up to a tar then restore it to the new partition | 03:12 |
| Xintruder | im so excited my encoding flipped up :D | 03:12 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer i dont exacly know wher ythe kernal is i tried using the Kernal that it originally used No Such Luck | 03:12 |
| Tri1 | thanks mike1o | 03:13 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, how did you even install the new kernel? | 03:13 |
| Ashfire908 | th0r, can i use the mulit-display mode on screen to share an X app? | 03:13 |
| * Xintruder is trying to make the number of desktops 4 | 03:13 | |
| cubexombi | Xintruder, you you have the little applet with the two desptops showing? | 03:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: Here is another neat trick How to copy using tar... tar cpf- -C/path/sourcefile .|tar xpf- -C/path/destination | 03:13 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer it states when i go to the recovery mode it gives me this /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk Does not exists Dropping to Shell!!, Because i used synaptics to install it.. | 03:13 |
| Xintruder | cubexombi: yeah | 03:14 |
| cubexombi | Xintruder, right click, properties on it, | 03:14 |
| c1|freaky | Jack_Sparrow: i have 2 hdds in the server. i will first copy the partition from which is booted like this: dd if=/dev/sda2 > sda2.img | 03:14 |
| Xintruder | gnome thing at the bottom | 03:14 |
| th0r | Ashfire908 don't know. I just learned the other day about the screen command, so haven't had a chance to learn much about it. I haven't had the need to share an app or desktop, so only know the theoryfd | 03:14 |
| c1|freaky | i hope that works | 03:14 |
| cubexombi | Preferences rather, set workstations to 4 | 03:14 |
| Kunin | anyone what this means: | 03:14 |
| c1|freaky | i dont need it gziped | 03:14 |
| Kunin | wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x000000a4 at address 0x7e3a69a5 (thread 0009), starting debugger... | 03:14 |
| kaenel | is there a package for java? | 03:14 |
| c1|freaky | if i gzip it, it will take much longer | 03:14 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, synaptic normally handles making sure the old one is left behind in case you have to resort back to it | 03:14 |
| cubexombi | xintruder, set workstations to 4, that should do it, (so long as you've already set compiz up.) | 03:15 |
| Eyemean | ryanprior, it looks like i have version 5 and 6 installed | 03:15 |
| kaenel | is there a package for java? | 03:15 |
| marx2k | Ok.. having an issue.. installed a motherboard with the NVidia nForce 630A MCP chipset but almost everything (including video card) in 'lspci' is "Unknown Device" | 03:15 |
| th0r | Kunin not sure what it means...but I wouldn't get my hopes up about running that program under wine | 03:15 |
| RyanPrior | kaenel: Yes, there is. You can get it through Add/Remove programs. | 03:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr.backup bs=512 count=1 is how I backup the mbr just as an fyi | 03:15 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, do you have your liveCD ? boot from it.. also try to remember which partition you have your MBR and where is your / directory was (which partition) | 03:15 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| Darkmystere | bulmer, I know Its still there i Just cannot boot into Ubuntu it goes to a black screen after doing the normal cannot allocate region thing and just sits there as in normally it would use my hardrive ligts on and off alot | 03:16 |
| c1|freaky | the mbr is ok | 03:16 |
| kex | marx2k, try to install nvidia | 03:16 |
| marx2k | kex: what do you mean? | 03:16 |
| kex | marx2k, sudo apt-get install nvidia | 03:16 |
| kex | marx2k, i think | 03:16 |
| c1|freaky | i really just need that one partition | 03:16 |
| acu | marx2k: I have no specific recomendation - however NVIDIA website has preety well developed LINUX drivers - with very clear instructions how to install them | 03:16 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer, i am on the live CD Ubuntu isnt on its on Partion (bulmer then states hes not good with that situation and i go searching again...) Correct me if im Wrong | 03:16 |
| marx2k | aptitude does not have a package called nvidia | 03:16 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, okay do this, boot from your liveCD | 03:16 |
| c1|freaky | and i need dd not to restore anything which has to do with partition sizes | 03:17 |
| cubexombi | xintruder, get the cube going? | 03:17 |
| craig__ | nvidia-glx | 03:17 |
| marx2k | acu: yes, for the video drivers.. but these are nForce motherboard issues Im worrying about | 03:17 |
| rajendra | need help installing real player | 03:17 |
| kex | marx2k, or replace nvidia with what craig_ said | 03:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | c1|freaky: It was just an example dd if=/dev/sda2 of=partition.backup ... double check that... | 03:17 |
| marx2k | the restricted nvidia drivers with gutsy are working fine for my purposes.. | 03:17 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, so you are on liveCD now? | 03:17 |
| Xintruder | i made the work spaces 2X2, but something is wrong, seems four boxes forward me to 2 workstation only | 03:17 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer Yea i have Been the Entire time | 03:17 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: You don't want 2x2, you wand 1x4 | 03:17 |
| Darkmystere | (intenet is chopy in windows | 03:18 |
| Tetracomm | th0r: That doesn't work: | 03:18 |
| c1|freaky | it should work this way too as it works like this: dd if=/dev/hda | gzip > /mnt/hdb1/system_drive_backup.img.gz | 03:18 |

| MagicDuck | you need to be root | 03:21 |
| nickrud | bulmer, he needs sudo | 03:21 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: i know have 4 workstations right? | 03:21 |
| Xintruder | now* | 03:21 |
| MagicDuck | Darmystere: you need to be root | 03:21 |
| MagicDuck | or try sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | 03:21 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, per advise of others..you need to be root..which I thought you are since you are in liveCD | 03:21 |
| Darkmystere | Trying it again... | 03:21 |
| MagicDuck | he isn't | 03:21 |
| Darkmystere | What i thought im on Live CD | 03:21 |
| MagicDuck | he's ubuntu | 03:21 |
| bulmer | he claimed he is | 03:21 |
| Darkmystere | I am .... | 03:22 |
| MagicDuck | look at the prompt: ubuntu@ubuntu | 03:22 |
| Darkmystere | it is | 03:22 |
| _stefano_ | hi to all | 03:22 |
| MagicDuck | yes, that means you are the user ubuntu | 03:22 |
| dgimse | i'm trying to get my scanner running and i got it narrow down to installing this firmware driver. The only problem is that to install the directory i must place the file in a directory that has root or super user priviliges. I've gotten this far in the terminal "cp -p sbfw.usb /usr/share/sane/ gt68xx". after i press enter it says i do not have permission to write to this directory. what... | 03:22 |
| dgimse | ...do i need to add to copy this file? | 03:22 |
| Darkmystere | The thing says ubuntu@ubuntu~$ | 03:22 |
| MagicDuck | :) | 03:22 |
| MagicDuck | indeed | 03:22 |

| Xintruder | yay, im so happy, ubuntu up and running with compiz in less than 4 hours and uptodate, unlike that other distro that too ke me days to run with half the proper drivers :D | 03:23 |
| grekkos | Can someone tell me what channel on this server has support for ardour recording software... kinda random but i was sure it was this server and maybe there's an ubuntu channel for it or something | 03:23 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: Correct. You can drag windows between them, too. | 03:23 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: I highly suggest the Expo plugin, which lets you drag windows easily between desktops. | 03:23 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, is that the only hard disk you have? | 03:23 |
| Flannel | grekkos: check out #ardour | 03:23 |
| nickrud | oh, expo is the very best part of compiz | 03:23 |
| Xintruder | RyanPrior: if i manage to do one more thing I will feel like super man.... | 03:23 |
| grekkos | I coulda sworn in went in and it was empty | 03:23 |
| grekkos | let me try again | 03:23 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer, Yep It seemed that separate Hardisk Bring Even more Errors | 03:23 |
| robdig | dgimse: put sudo in front of it | 03:23 |
| alexMK | Hi, is there a GUI for starting and stopping services in ubuntu? | 03:24 |
| dgimse | i did | 03:24 |
| grekkos | oh maybe it was in the wrong server | 03:24 |
| Darkmystere | Yea | 03:24 |
| Xintruder | that thing is: the lower panel I see on youtube, simal to kde, or apple maybe.... | 03:24 |
| dgimse | but it didn't work | 03:24 |
| Flannel | grekkos: then maybe try ##ardour, I'm just going by what chanserv is telling me | 03:24 |
| grekkos | i'm new to this irc client | 03:24 |
| dgimse | i tried sudo -H too | 03:24 |
| Xintruder | similar** | 03:24 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, you are making me guess of wjhat you have...you have to tell me how many drives you have and how it is connected..elaborate please | 03:24 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: That's the Avant Window Navigator, and it's highly experimental. | 03:24 |
| Darkmystere | AlexMK press ALT+ F2 then type gnome-system-monitor | 03:24 |
| Xintruder | do you mean its hard to set up -_- | 03:24 |
| nickrud | bulmer, I had to back out on this, lack of knowledge. But his install is in wubi | 03:24 |
| _stefano_ | anyone have connection problem with ethernet modem? | 03:24 |
| CAP4122 | holaaaa | 03:24 |
| MagicDuck | Darkmystere, what are you trying to do? | 03:25 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: You can try getting it working, but no guarantees there. I've never been able to figure it out, personally, but there are tutorials out there on the 'net | 03:25 |
| bulmer | nickrud, thanks for the heads up.. | 03:25 |
| tssom | i love this distro! \o/ | 03:25 |
| Darkmystere | Bulmer Its Internal Hardrive | 03:25 |
| alexMK | Darkmystere: I meant services, not processes... | 03:25 |
| Xintruder | is it exactly what apple uses? | 03:25 |
| Darkmystere | AlexMK Sorry.... | 03:25 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: Nope. It is inspired somewhat by Apple's dock, but they use entirely different technologies. | 03:25 |
| grekkos | what is apple maybe using? | 03:25 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, how many drives? how many internal, how many external? | 03:25 |
| Tetracomm | Help? | 03:26 |
| grekkos | oh | 03:26 |

| Tetracomm | I can't seem to install Windows fonts in Ubuntu. | 03:26 |
| dgimse | is there a package that moves files into sudo dir? | 03:26 |
| Xintruder | btw after installing ubuntu, dont i have to configure make.conf or anything, ith the -j3 stuff???!?!?!?!?!? | 03:26 |
| dgimse | graphicaly | 03:26 |
| nickrud | MagicDuck, and what he really needs to do is get his docs out of a wubi install | 03:26 |
| RyanPrior | !fonts | Tetracomm | 03:26 |
| ubotu | Tetracomm: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 03:26 |
| bulmer | Darkmystere, okay...now from what you pasted earlier, you dont have ubuntu installed in any partitions | 03:26 |
| grekkos | make.conf for what? | 03:26 |
| Darkmystere | Wubi.... As He stated | 03:27 |
| grekkos | Xintruder: were you planning on compiling something? | 03:27 |
| Xintruder | i donno, i always had to do stuff to that file after installing gentoo | 03:27 |
| grekkos | oh | 03:27 |
| Xintruder | no idea | 03:27 |
| Xintruder | >< | 03:27 |
| grekkos | gentoo's system builds all of its packages | 03:27 |
| Darkmystere | (and i run out of help after all of this..... | 03:27 |
| grekkos | maybe make.conf is a global config file for make | 03:27 |
| MagicDuck | From what I know about wubi, it installs in a file, inside windows | 03:27 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: I don't think there's any configuration of that sort of thing to do. | 03:27 |
| nickrud | yes. and it stopped booting, he has docs in there he says he must have for work. I know zip about wubi | 03:28 |
| grekkos | Xintruder: it was probably for the "emerge" utility on Gentoo | 03:28 |
| bastid_raZor | well | 03:28 |
| RyanPrior | Stupid floodbots. Always flooding the channel. | 03:28 |
| grekkos | Xintruder: but i'm not positive i haven't used gentoo in a while | 03:28 |
| bazhang | those are the good floodbots | 03:28 |

| Darkmystere | it was doing somthing weird where kept saying identify self.. | 03:31 |
| cubexombi | xintruder, figuted out ow to get the applet to show only 2 rows | 03:31 |
| bazhang | ac7ss: if you dont get an answer hee you can try #samba as well | 03:31 |
| Xintruder | test | 03:31 |
| ac7ss | I will look there as well. | 03:31 |
| bazhang | success | 03:31 |
| Xintruder | ok i can type now | 03:31 |

| ubotu | Xintruder: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications | 03:34 |
| grekkos | inside? | 03:34 |
| penguinguy1234 | Is there a command to connect to a wireless network? | 03:34 |
| iCEifer | can anyone tell me what the program is that can let me have icons on the bottom to select from for my apps like the one shown here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=70284&file1=70284-1.gif&file2=70284-2.jpg&file3=&name=Dark+Ice+Emerald | 03:35 |
| grekkos | my suggestion would be dual boot if that's available, Xintruder | 03:35 |
| grekkos | usually runs the software faster ^^; | 03:35 |
| aDAS | whats your favorite beer? | 03:35 |
| Lanx | I need help connecting with my SWL-2300U adapter | 03:35 |

| Kunin | I get an error when I do glxinfo and glxgears... | 03:36 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, did you go thru the steps before the fsck ? | 03:36 |
| Pici | penguinguy1234: iwconfig ethX essid "something" | 03:36 |
| grekkos | Xintruder: ok... from my personal experience i've never been able to get any programs working on there -- that's why i suggested dual boot. If you get it working though please tell me I'd like to try it out myself as well | 03:36 |
| Pici | penguinguy1234: where ethX is your wifi adapter and something is the ssid name | 03:36 |
| Darkmystere | Nickrud It kind of booted me when i posted wat the first command d said.. | 03:37 |
| Pici | penguinguy1234: then `sudo dhclient ethX` | 03:37 |
| penguinguy1234 | ok | 03:37 |
| penguinguy1234 | ill try | 03:37 |
| Pici | Darkmystere: I booted you. | 03:37 |

| Xintruder | grekkos: ok! tbh after spending lots of money on my vaio, vista spoilt its fun for me, now im enjoying it more | 03:37 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, tht's not the first command you do, start with the sudo mkdir /media/windows | 03:37 |
| bazhang | andronius: ask away | 03:37 |
| grekkos | Xintruder: Ubuntu is very nice :D | 03:38 |
| Darkmystere | Pici I know u Booted me that Robot told me lol its a taddie tale | 03:38 |
| ac7ss | Help! I cannot mount my samba. I keep getting a timeout. | 03:38 |
| andronius | i just installed 7.10 and for some reason my usb ports dont work until after ubuntu starts up | 03:38 |
| Xintruder | grekkos: if i was to change anything in ubuntu, that would be its name. other than that i love :P | 03:38 |
| andronius | therefore i cant get into my system bios | 03:38 |
| bazhang | andronius: an excelent resource for gutsy is here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy | 03:38 |
| Jon__ | For some reason when im using emerald theme manager my themes dont show up when i click them, like I import them and everything but they don't load when i click them | 03:38 |
| Darkmystere | well this is what i typed Go here so i dont get kicked yet again.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50929/ | 03:39 |
| bazhang | andronius: for using external drives, mouse, or what? | 03:39 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, yes, you told me already. Start at the the beginning of where I pointed you, not near the end | 03:39 |
| andronius | keyboard and mouse are usb | 03:39 |
| grekkos | Oh I have a question here... relating to compiz. - Which program handles the windows. I.E. Metacity on a regular gnome system without the compiz installed - I'd like to modify the middle click + modifier to resize but i need to know which program's code it's in | 03:40 |
| andronius | so i cant hold f1 to get to my bios to enable my vid card | 03:40 |
| Kunin | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50930/ any ideas on how to fix? | 03:40 |
| Darkmystere | Well the beginging Part is for 7.04 Live CD it states quote:his step installs the read-write ntfs-3g driver. It is only necessary if you're using the 7.04 desktop CD. Ubuntu 7.10 comes pre-installed with ntfs-3g, so skip this if using the 7.10 desktop CD. | 03:40 |
| Pici | andronius: Ubuntu not detecting your usb devices has nothing to do with getting into your bios. Your bios is loaded first,before any OS. | 03:40 |
| Carbonflux | is there much of a preformance hit running Ubuntu i386 on a AMD 64 ? | 03:41 |
| iCEifer | can anyone tell me what the program is that can let me have icons on the bottom to select from for my apps like the one shown here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=70284&file1=70284-1.gif&file2=70284-2.jpg&file3=&name=Dark+Ice+Emerald | 03:41 |
| tonsofpcs | Carbonflux: not that you'll notice :) | 03:41 |
| supersako | hey guys im thinking bout switching to ubuntu from archlinux because my laptop is a freakn pain to setup with archlinux... looks like from what im reading its good to go out of hte box with ubuntu | 03:41 |
| andronius | i know but my usb ports were working before i installed ubuntu | 03:41 |
| Xintruder | who named ubuntu with this name >< ! | 03:41 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: depends on how ram you have, and what you are doing, but generally no | 03:41 |
| andronius | and they work once ubuntu starts | 03:41 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, but then you skipped the next step also, where it says to mount the windows partition using ntfs-3g | 03:41 |
| tonsofpcs | no one named it with this name >< !, they named it ubuntu | 03:41 |
| Carbonflux | I have 2 gig of ram | 03:41 |
| Pici | iCEifer: AWN | 03:41 |
| RyanPrior | andronius: Ubuntu does not have the ability to sever the cords of your USB subsystem. | 03:41 |
| bazhang | Carbonflux: then no worries | 03:41 |
| nickrud | !ubuntu | Xintruder | 03:41 |

| supersako | i know ubuntu has releases every couple of months, are there ways to upgrade ubuntu right from the packages or would i have to download the new iso and re-install everything | 03:42 |
| supersako | on every new release | 03:43 |
| nickrud | andronius, what does the usb port have to do with changing the default vid card in bios? | 03:43 |
| Pici | supersako: Nope, you can upgrade from within Ubuntu | 03:43 |
| Gokee2_temp | Ok I got w64codecs and downloaded and untared and moved the files from the mplater site for ppc to /usr/lib/codecs and now still can`t play my .wmv file. Can anyone tell my why? The .wmv is a hd file. | 03:43 |

| Lanx | Does anybody know how to get a SWL-2300U wireless adapter to run with Ubuntu | 03:43 |
| bulmer | canerunner, what is the issue? | 03:43 |
| canerunner | WiFi card can see GAteway, Gateway can see WiFi card, but no joy on getting anything with a ping. | 03:43 |
| andronius | keyboard is usb | 03:43 |
| bazhang | supersako: every six months, and yes you can upgrade via the web, assuming you have feisty or higher | 03:43 |
| Darkmystere | Ok i did that and now i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50931/ | 03:43 |
| supersako | sweet, anyone here use ubuntu and archlinux on their laptops? | 03:43 |
| andronius | cant enter bios without keyboard | 03:43 |
| bulmer | canerunner, kindly respond to me prefix with my nick or i will miss your responses | 03:43 |
| bazhang | supersako: dual boot? some surely do | 03:44 |
| supersako | i want to find someone that has used both :P | 03:44 |
| RyanPrior | supersako: I doubt many people dual-boot those particular two distros. | 03:44 |
| Xintruder | ok, is installing arabic fonts something simple?? | 03:44 |
| nickrud | andronius, ah, you need to tell your bios to look for a usb keyboard, windows can't start a usb keyboard before the bios boots either | 03:44 |
| supersako | not really dual boot but someone that has used archlinux before and now uses ubuntu | 03:44 |
| canerunner | BULMER. The WiFi is an Intel, and the Gateway is a Linksys. | 03:44 |
| bazhang | supersako: more of a chat question; join #ubuntu-offtopic :} | 03:44 |
| andronius | cant do that without getting into the bios first aka catch 22 | 03:45 |
| spee | is there an equivalent application to windows´ device manager? | 03:45 |
| ac7ss | help with samba please | 03:45 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | I cannot enable my graphics card driver in the restricted driver manager. Once i click Enable Driver i get the message, The software source for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. Please help. | 03:45 |
| bulmer | canerunner, how do you determine of what you said, see the gateway and gateway sees your wifi? | 03:45 |
| RyanPrior | supersako: Definitely. Lots of people can help you with the differences between distros. #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place to discuss and debate the differences, if you're interested in friendly chat. | 03:45 |
| Marfi | i've seen different versions of an "8 in 1" CD of 8 versions of xp and windows in 1. is there a linux cd like this floating around? | 03:45 |
| Kunin | anyone that can help me with some glx problems? | 03:45 |
| RyanPrior | !anyone | Kunin | 03:45 |
| ubotu | Kunin: 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? | 03:45 |
| nickrud | andronius, the bios starts up long before any os does. You will have to find a ps2 keyboard so you can get into the bios, and set up the usb keyboard as well as video | 03:45 |
| Pici | Marfi: Like multiple distros on one CD? ubuntu, slack, etc? | 03:45 |
| Marfi | Pici, yup | 03:45 |
| tritium | Marfi: DVD, perhaps, but not a CD | 03:46 |
| canerunner | BULMER: The NIC can see the gateway MAC, and the gateway can see the NIC MAC, but I can't get them to communicate. Things were working well yesterday, then I shut the computer down, and now I can'g ping anything wirelessly. | 03:46 |
| Pici | Marfi: Not that I'm aware of | 03:46 |
| bazhang | Marfi: www.distrowatch.com may have an answer | 03:46 |
| andronius | ok.....i'll try that then | 03:46 |
| Marfi | bazhang, tried it | 03:46 |
| aDAS | why would u want ubuntu and slack ont he same cd they're so different.. | 03:46 |
| cl | hI........ | 03:46 |
| nickrud | andronius, what you are seeing is a limitation of your hardware, not ubuntu | 03:46 |
| Xintruder | do I apt-get install arabic fonts :/ ? | 03:46 |
| tritium | Marfi: look for a Linux Format magazine at your local bookstore | 03:46 |
| bulmer | canerunner, what tool or command do you use to say it sees both ways? | 03:46 |
| Galactic | hey my ndiswrapper stopped working is there anyone who could help me fix it? | 03:46 |
| spee | is there an equivalent application to windows´ device manager? | 03:46 |
| Darkmystere | So... NickRud http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50932/ | 03:46 |
| grekkos | aDAS: same reason for win2k, win98, win95 and xp to be on the same CD... (no idea haha) | 03:47 |
| bazhang | Marfi: tritium has the best advice | 03:47 |
| Kunin | ubot: I posted http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50930/ earlier asking for help but saw no reply yet | 03:47 |
| Xintruder | !fonts | 03:47 |
| ubotu | Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 03:47 |
| grekkos | aDAS: but i've seen CDs like this for windows | 03:47 |
| penguinguy1234 | How do you set a static ip for a wireless conection? | 03:47 |
| canerunner | BULMER: If I run iwconfig, it lists the gateway correctly, and if I open the gateway log, I can see the MAC of the MIC. | 03:47 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, did you do the first step, sudo mkdir /media/windows ? | 03:47 |
| cHeChA_cE_EmO | tr | 03:47 |
| bulmer | canerunner, okay, when you type iwconfig it shows as associated ? does the nic card gets an ip address? | 03:48 |
| Darkmystere | mmhmm.. | 03:48 |
| Marfi | tritium, bazhang i use ubuntu on a daily basis, and put together an old computer from spare parts. just wanted to see if there was a quick and easy way to mess w/ a few different versions | 03:48 |
| marx2k | !64 bit | 03:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 64 bit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:48 |
| tritium | Marfi: have you tried xubuntu on old hardware? | 03:48 |
| penguinguy1234 | How do you set a static ip for a wireless conection? | 03:48 |
| iCEifer | Pici, thanks, I got the AWN running but is there one where it will basically be used to launch new apps and not just show what I already have running? | 03:48 |
| marx2k | is there a channel specific to 64bit? | 03:48 |
| bulmer | penguinguy1234, you can try setting it manually, but how do you then tell your wifi nic card to associate? | 03:48 |
| Darkmystere | FUSE MOUNT point creation failed Nickrud | 03:49 |
| marx2k | !64-bit | 03:49 |
| ubotu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. | 03:49 |
| canerunner | BULMER: It shows association, and I can get a DHCP IP, or I can connect using aStatic IP. | 03:49 |
| Pici | iCEifer: I think you can make buttons for it, I havent played with it that much though. | 03:49 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, yes, it said it couldn't find /media/windows | 03:49 |
| Marfi | tritium, thats one of the ones on my list. i want to try KDE 4 first, since it is said to run on old hardware | 03:49 |
| bazhang | Marfi: outside of getting a linux magazine of downloading the various distros individually, then likely not | 03:49 |
| Xintruder | guys, does you tube movies appear in less quality than windows with ubuntu codecs, or is it just me? | 03:49 |
| Marfi | tritium, run decently, i should add. =) | 03:49 |
| iCEifer | Pici, okay. thanks. | 03:49 |
| bulmer | canerunner, what is the ip address you get from the AP dhcp server? | 03:49 |
| tritium | Marfi: sounds like a good plan | 03:49 |
| penguinguy1234 | Is there a command to set a static ip? | 03:49 |
| cHeChA_cE_EmO | dsads | 03:50 |
| canerunner | BULMER: Hang one and let me look again. | 03:50 |
| === AndrukTatum is now known as andruk | ||
| Darkmystere | I did Mkdir | 03:50 |
| bulmer | penguinguy1234, yes via iwconfig command like ifconfig | 03:50 |
| ac7ss | penguinguy: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 | 03:50 |
| bulmer | ac7ss, he is on wifi | 03:50 |
| Kunin | Not really sure whats wrong here... using latest Nvidia drivers, but I get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50930/ that on glxinfo | 03:50 |
| tanlaan | I'm having problems with my bandwidth over wireless with the bcmxxx firmware | 03:50 |
| tanlaan | my speeds online are very slow | 03:50 |
| Xintruder | guys i think video quality with ubuntu is lesser than windows, is that correct or me mistaken? | 03:51 |
| spee | is there a device manager? | 03:51 |
| aDAS | are ur drivers installed?? | 03:51 |
| Darkmystere | i have the sq thing on my desktop!! | 03:51 |
| tritium | Xintruder: mistaken, as the visual quality is hardware-dependent. | 03:51 |
| Darkmystere | OMG I SEE MY FILES!! | 03:51 |
| penguinguy1234 | Bulmer: what command? | 03:51 |
| tritium | Xintruder: codec issues are another matter... | 03:51 |
| Koi | I was about to ask about install problems | 03:51 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, save them !!! | 03:51 |
| Koi | but it seems waiting 15 minutes fixed it | 03:51 |
| Xintruder | tritium: my hardware were fine with vista installed >< ! | 03:51 |
| bulmer | penguinguy1234, yes via iwconfig command | 03:51 |
| tritium | Xintruder: super! | 03:51 |
| Darkmystere | NickRud LOL there my windows partion .... | 03:51 |
| Darkmystere | Trying to find Wubi in here.. | 03:52 |
| penguinguy1234 | bulmer: how? | 03:52 |
| Marfi | Xintruder, what videocard do you have? | 03:52 |
| aDAS | actually image wuality isnt hardware dependent | 03:52 |
| Xintruder | tritium: i used the automatic codecs thing, i didnt select any | 03:52 |
| nickrud | Darkmystere, so make the /media/wubi mount point, and pick up with the fsck | 03:52 |
| Phusion | hey, I've got an active windows install on /dev/hda3, what do I add to my menu.lst to allow me to boot it from grub | 03:52 |
| Xintruder | nvidia go 7400 gpu geforce | 03:52 |
| tritium | Xintruder: please state what the issue is | 03:52 |
| bulmer | penguinguy1234, iwconfig wlan0 192.168.1.39 netmask 255.255.255.0 | 03:52 |
| canerunner | BULMER: If I use DHCP, I get an address like a 169.254.x.x from Ahavi. That's why I've been using static IPs. | 03:53 |
| rajasun | spee: Try apt-cache show hardinfo sysinfo | 03:53 |
| Marfi | Xintruder, did you install the restricted drivers? and what are you trying to run? | 03:53 |
| Xintruder | tritium: i believe the quality i see in youtube clips are lower quality, pixels and colors | 03:53 |
| bulmer | canerunner, does your AP/gateway have a dhcp server? | 03:53 |
| Xintruder | I installed the plugins suggested by firefox | 03:53 |
| penguinguy1234 | bulmer: If I do that, it says iwconfig: unknown command "192.168.1.224" | 03:53 |
| bulmer | penguinguy1234, /sbin/iwconfig ... | 03:53 |
| F-u-z-z-Y | I cannot enable my graphics card driver in the restricted driver manager. Once i click Enable Driver i get the message, The software source for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. Please help. | 03:53 |
| Xintruder | adobe flash, another thing for flash, and 5 codecs it downloaded and installed | 03:54 |
| nickrud | F-u-z-z-Y, system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are enabled, and the cdrom is not | 03:54 |
| Pici | F-u-z-z-Y: Make sure that you have the restricted repository enabled in System>Administration>Software sources | 03:54 |
| tritium | Xintruder: linux flash support isn't where it should be | 03:54 |
| Koi | Any way to use shockwave on ubuntu other than with Wine? | 03:54 |
| Gokee2_temp | What do I need to play HD in ubuntu? I downloaded a file at http://www.drfoster.f2s.com/trailers_hd-dvd.shtml and it does not play. I have installed w64 codecs and I put mplayers ppc codecs in /usr/lib/codecs. | 03:54 |
| canerunner | BULMER: Yes, it's a Linksys WRV200, and DHCP is enabled. Ahavi masks the IP aparently. | 03:54 |
| nickrud | F-u-z-z-Y, then sudo apt-get update in a terminal | 03:54 |
| rajasun | F-u-z-z-Y: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list > uncomment the restricted repo | 03:54 |
| Xintruder | tritium: what does that mean >< !? | 03:55 |
| Kunin | I'm also having issues with nvidia | 03:55 |
| spee | rajasun thats not what im looking for | 03:55 |
| bulmer | canerunner, you can try this command instead of using static... dhclient wlan0 to acquire an ip address | 03:55 |
| spee | im looking for a device manager equivalent | 03:55 |
| tritium | Xintruder: what does ">< !" mean? | 03:55 |
| spee | or something like that | 03:55 |
| Nubbie | hi does anybody know if i can change the colour of my screenname in Pidgin conversations? It's clashing with my GTK2 theme. Much appreciated! | 03:55 |

| Xintruder | >< | 03:55 |

| Nubbie | Evolution2: if those developers release their programs for linux... | 03:56 |
| Darkmystere | Theres Nothing in my Documents... | 03:56 |

| Xintruder | ok | 03:57 |
| Darkmystere | How do i Save the files tho? nickrud | 03:57 |
| Nubbie | tritium: not by much. | 03:57 |

I've got an nvidia card, and have the propreitary drivers installed, i've confirmed i have direct rendering with "glxinfo | grep direct" but any opengl app (be it glxgears, tremulous, or wow in wine) decides to use software rendering, if i enabled vsync in nvidia-settings it uses the GPU for rendering, but is still far to slow for this hardware. | 04:04 |

| nickrud | Darkmystere, you can get openoffice for windows | 04:06 |
| Evolution2 | Nubbie: and for the record. what's the application that looks like a smily face? | 04:06 |
| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, ok, try clicking Tools -> Plugins | 04:06 |
| Nubbie | Evolution2: i stepped over the line helping you last time. i don't own macs, i don't use them. ask in #mac | 04:06 |
| bulmer | canerunner this is on same computer you are on? why do you need to have both nics activated? | 04:06 |
| tritium | Evolution2: please stay on topic. | 04:07 |
| Evolution2 | ok guys sorry | 04:07 |
| Nubbie | xTheGoat121x: i've been all through there. i found one plugin that changed my conversation text, but not my screenname text. | 04:07 |
| Galactic | is anyone here or can anyone read what Im writing? | 04:07 |
| dcesiel_ | Hey guys how can I need a command that will launch two programs, one after another does anyone know of one? | 04:07 |
| craigbass1976 | duh... got it I think | 04:07 |
| Galactic | is anyone here or can anyone read what Im writing? | 04:07 |
| Pici | Galactic: Yes, we can. | 04:07 |
| Galactic | ok | 04:07 |

| Nubbie | Galactic: SHHH! | 04:07 |
| Galactic | is anyone free to assist me with a ndiswrapper problem? | 04:07 |
| dcesiel_ | craigbass1976: I've never written one | 04:07 |
| Xintruder | !Expo | 04:07 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about expo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:07 |
| RyanPrior | !anyone | Galactic | 04:07 |
| ubotu | Galactic: 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? | 04:07 |
| Nubbie | Galactic: just ask your question | 04:07 |
| dcesiel_ | Any tips or places to start? | 04:07 |
| bulmer | Galactic, there is also #ndiswrapper channel | 04:08 |
| Nubbie | Xintruder: Expo is a compiz plugin. enable it in CCSM. | 04:08 |
| wirser | I need to pass an option for my zoran board on other linuxes I put this in either modules.conf or modprobe.conf where would it go in gutsy gibbon? | 04:08 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: You can enable expo through compizconfig. | 04:08 |
| Galactic | my ndiswrapper doesnt work | 04:08 |
| Galactic | what more do you want? | 04:08 |
| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, crud. I could've SWORN the color changer was there. | 04:08 |

| Pici | !doesntwork | Galactic | 04:08 |
| ubotu | Galactic: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 04:08 |
| marx2k | is there no channel for 64-bit related discussion?? | 04:08 |
| Galactic | this is the message I get bcmwl5 : driver installed | 04:08 |
| Galactic | device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) | 04:08 |
| canerunner | BULMER: Can I email you the output? I have three computers on my desk right now. I'm sitting here trying to get the IBM to connect to the wireless, otherwise. If I connect the CAT5, I can't get good output from the Network Manager. | 04:08 |
| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, but yeah, you're right. | 04:08 |
| Galactic | I believe Im having a device conflict | 04:08 |
| Nubbie | xTheGoat121x: perhaps there is another plugin to accomplish this, i'll look further. thanks anyways man. | 04:08 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, what are the apps you want to start? | 04:08 |
| Xintruder | :( | 04:09 |
| Koi | What's the best theme/skin program for ubuntu right now? | 04:09 |
| Xintruder | ok thanks | 04:09 |
| RyanPrior | Ubotu, you are sassy! | 04:09 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about you are sassy! - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Koi: a program to do what exactly? | 04:09 |
| tritium | RyanPrior: ubotu is a bot | 04:09 |
| nickrud | Galactic, that looks ok (no ndiswrapper expert, mind you) have you done sudo modprobe ndiswrapper ? | 04:09 |
| RyanPrior | !botsnack | 04:09 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 04:09 |
| Galactic | my network manager will no longer show a wireless network even when i have a driver loaded for ndiswrapper any idea of what could be wrong? | 04:09 |
| bulmer | canerunner, okay lets do it like this.. type iwconfig and tell me how many interfaces does it say it has wireless? | 04:09 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, you awake? | 04:10 |
| Koi | Mostly just apply themes, but creating would be a plus | 04:10 |
| xTheGoat121x | heh, I like some of ubotu's responses | 04:10 |

| canerunner | BULMER: Just the one. Eth1. | 04:10 |
| dcesiel_ | craigbass1976: well ventrilo in wine and a script that allows push to talk outside the ventrilo gui | 04:10 |
| Xintruder | expo is enabled, for some reason i cant drag and drop between workstation?! | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Koi: the gnome theme settings tools let you change themes and stuff.. as for as making your own... No idea on that. :) check gnome-look.org for tutorials | 04:10 |
| nickrud | Galactic, does lsmod | grep ndiswrapper say ndiswrapper ? | 04:10 |
| Galactic | nickrud I just tried that and nothing happened | 04:10 |
| bulmer | canerunner, and if you type ifconfig , how many names show up? what are they? | 04:10 |
| Koi | k, thanks | 04:10 |
| Darkmystere | it says i can do sudo apt gets and all that | 04:10 |
| nickrud | Galactic, tried what? I've mentioned a couple things now | 04:10 |
| rodolfo | There is a graphical user interface for Xorg settings manager on PCLinuxOS. I wonder if there is for Ubuntu as well....does anyone know? | 04:11 |
| quinton_ | I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? | 04:11 |
| Darkmystere | is there a way to fix it from the mountpoints? | 04:11 |
| toni_ | jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj | 04:11 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: We sure have one. | 04:11 |
| Kunin | almost got it all... | 04:11 |
| tssom | How do i get my bottom panel back? | 04:11 |
| canerunner | BULMER: I get l0, irda0 and eth1. Eth0, thw wired connector is disabled right now. | 04:11 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, I've no idea how to do anything in Wine. When I quit windows, I totally quit | 04:11 |
| Galactic | nickrud the sudo modprobe didnt do anything, I tried the other command and it gave me this ndiswrapper 185240 0 | 04:11 |
| Galactic | usbcore 138632 5 uvcvideo,ndiswrapper,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd | 04:11 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: ^^ which one? | 04:11 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, but it seems you need the two programs to be running at the same time | 04:11 |
| quinton_ | I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? | 04:12 |
| bulmer | canerunner, when you type iwlist eth1 scan how strong is the signal from your AP..it should be listed | 04:12 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, What I proposed was a script that would start one after the other | 04:12 |
| dcesiel_ | yes, but its important that this script that allows this vent feature runs after vent starts | 04:12 |
| dcesiel_ | right | 04:12 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics | 04:12 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, the second would only start after the first was done | 04:12 |
| NonPhiDeltA | my cable remote is 4 /5 inches x 3 .2 , i lost the back batery cover and the danmn tripple a batteries keep rolling into the couch, and i need all the tape to air seal off the doors, u know dont wnat he zombies smeelling my flesh waht with my cutting fetish and all, what do i do ? | 04:13 |
| quinton_ | I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? they also produce a wierd skipping noise. | 04:13 |
| dcesiel_ | craigbass1976: that's exactly what I was looking for | 04:13 |
| canerunner | BULMER: 92/100 Signal level=-39 dBm | 04:13 |
| Pici | !offtopic | NonPhiDeltA | 04:13 |
| djcabz | Galactic: I am not purporting to be able to help, but why the ndiswrapper? what type of adapter is it? Just curiour | 04:13 |
| ubotu | NonPhiDeltA: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:13 |
| Galactic | nickrud I just check the ndiswrapper website and it shows a conflict error with the bcmxx modules | 04:13 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, well, can you launch them from a command line to begin with? | 04:13 |
| Galactic | djcabz its a broadcom | 04:13 |
| tssom | I've just installed kiba-dock and i removed my bottom panel in the process. But now i want it back. How do i do that? | 04:14 |
| bulmer | canerunner, thats strong enuff..what is the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces ? | 04:14 |
| djcabz | yep bcmxx gave it away. | 04:14 |
| nickrud | Galactic, that means ndiswrapper is installed. Your previous paste (and 2 lines is the max here, by the way) says you have it properly configured for a broadcom wireless. Personally I used a broadcom with ndiswrapper, but switched to the restricted one | 04:14 |
| craigbass1976 | Galactic, there are some broadcom chipsets with regular linux drivers now | 04:14 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: (....) I mean something with advanced features, you know? some application that tells the video card how much memory it can get from the system...and other advanced stuff we can set/manage | 04:14 |
| salah | Is there any ways to disable the keyring in Ubuntu? I can't find any information that helps me | 04:14 |
| dcesiel_ | craigbass1976: Yes I know but it's annoying to launch them from a command line everytime I want to open them | 04:14 |
| Galactic | craigbass1976 are you talking about the bcmxx driver? | 04:15 |
| djcabz | Galactic: errr... what craigbass1976 | 04:15 |
| dcesiel_ | I was hoping for something that i could just put in a launcher on my desktop | 04:15 |
| djcabz | said | 04:15 |
| Dr_Willis | tssom: right click on the top panel and use its menus to add a new panel perhaps. | 04:15 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, what are the commands? | 04:15 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: I don't think such a fine-grained tool is installed by default. | 04:15 |
| Galactic | this is my issue basically bcmwl5 : driver installed | 04:15 |
| Galactic | device (14E4:4320) present (alternate driver: bcm43xx) | 04:15 |
| nickrud | Galactic, that's a good output | 04:15 |
| craigbass1976 | Galactic, I thought so. Maybe I'm wrong. It was when Feisty first came out that I set it up last; I can't remember | 04:15 |
| dcesiel_ | env WINEPREFIX="/home/dcesiel/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Ventrilo\Ventrilo.exe" | 04:16 |
| dcesiel_ | and | 04:16 |
| dcesiel_ | sh file:///home/dcesiel/Applications/ventriloctrl-0.3/runctrl.sh | 04:16 |
| quinton_ | I am using 5.1 logitech speakers and not all of my speakers are producing sound, Im posative theyre hooked up correct and all alsa speakers are turned to max... ? they also produce a wierd skipping noise. | 04:16 |
| nickrud | Galactic, it's simply telling you that you can use the bcm43xx driver instead, if you wish | 04:16 |
| tssom | Dr_Willis: Nope. That's not it. i want the pannel that shows me workspaces and minimized programs. | 04:16 |
| RyanPrior | !sound | quinton_, in case you haven't already checked | 04:16 |
| ubotu | quinton_, in case you haven't already checked: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:16 |
| === diana is now known as n0bra1n | ||
| WorkingOnWise | I see a package in synaptic called irqbalance. it says it can balance interupts among multiple cores or cpus, and that usually interupts are typically serviced only by the by the first core. Is this something I need to be aprised of for my dual core laptop? AMD Turion. | 04:17 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: also i noticed that actually there isn't a control panel or something equivalent..after spending some months taking a (deep) look at Ubuntu tools/options... | 04:17 |
| Galactic | sure if it'll work Im game | 04:17 |
| === _max` is now known as max` | ||
| fourdegrees | hi | 04:17 |
| dcesiel_ | craigbass1976: Did you get the two commands? | 04:17 |
| n0bra1n | hi | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | tssom: i think you may be right clicking on the wrong part of the panel. theres different menus - depending on where you right click | 04:17 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, It doesnt seem to be an issue like that, the speakers when being used also slow my computer down, use 100%cpu and crash it almost everytime | 04:17 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: You could probably install the same thing PCLinuxOS has, if theirs is a quality tool. | 04:18 |
| n0bra1n | hi may I ask for a little help ? | 04:18 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, I did. Hang on | 04:18 |
| nickrud | Galactic, run sudo aptitude install bcm43xx-fwcutter , it will try to download and install firmware for the wireless | 04:18 |
| Galactic | wow now it works after I entered some commands | 04:18 |
| nickrud | Galactic, but before you do that | 04:18 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: Ubuntu tries to configure x.org correctly in the first place, and usually does a pretty good job. | 04:18 |
| dcesiel_ | ok cool no hurry | 04:18 |
| nickrud | Galactic, you took the words out of my mouth | 04:18 |
| canerunner | BULMER: It shows the loopback. with it's address, etc., iface eth0 dhcp, eth0 dhcp, auto eth2 dhcp, auto ath0 dhcp, auto wlan0 dhcp, and then the eht i dhcp, and bleow it, the ip, netmask and default gateway addresses along with the wireless key and the ESSID. | 04:18 |
| n0bra1n | checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables !?!?!?!?! | 04:18 |
| n0bra1n | what I have to do | 04:18 |
| fourdegrees | erm...i'm looking for some help with audio in ubuntu 7.10. anyone have some time? | 04:18 |
| RyanPrior | quinton_: That's very wierd. Plugging speakers into your computer shouldn't slow things donw. | 04:18 |
| nickrud | !build-essential | n0bra1n | 04:18 |
| ubotu | n0bra1n: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 04:18 |

| n0bra1n | 10x | 04:19 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: hm..not to mention that there isn't even a broadband settings controller... | 04:19 |
| RyanPrior | !packages | 04:19 |
| ubotu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 04:19 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, only when it plays sound, it kills the speed and i have to kill whatevers making sound to regain speed | 04:19 |
| WorkingOnWise | !irqbalance | 04:19 |
| tssom | Dr_Willis: Nope. I'll just keep trying. Thanks anyways. | 04:19 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about irqbalance - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:19 |

| rodolfo | Nubbie: where can i get some more info about this? | 04:19 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: there is a DSL manager available, but it contains restricted code. | 04:19 |
| rodolfo | Nubbie: Sun's? | 04:20 |
| bulmer | canerunner, you are running wep or wap? can you disable that in your AP also? see if you can connect in the clear first before going to encrypted | 04:20 |

| canerunner | BULMER: I'm running a WEP right now. | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | tssom: you just gotta click between the widgets like on the actual panel itself. Not the various applets in the panel. I see the 'New Panel" item here.. you could remove some widgets if your panel is cramped | 04:20 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, http://rafb.net/p/nLL2DY48.html | 04:21 |
| canerunner | BULMER: I'll disable it and see if that changes anything. | 04:21 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: you can install the main-menu, purely for the app/settings browsers and not use the panel applet should you choose to. | 04:21 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, so, not all speakers play and when they do play music or sounds the computer laggs enormously, when the sound is turned off computer regains speed... | 04:21 |

| Nubbie | or there is the eagle-usb-data package if you have an eagle DSL box. | 04:22 |
| rodolfo | Nubbie: any idea of why this does not come already installed with Ubuntu? | 04:22 |

| fourdegrees | I'm convinced that I'm having an audio-related crash/freeze with 7.10 and Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) | 04:22 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: nope. | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Tetracomm: i hear its dosetn work with wine | 04:22 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, on my old linux the speakers were already recognized in windows as 5.1 speakers with the driver cd... linux will not run this driver unless i do it with alsa and from the asus driver website. i did a fresh install of ubuntu only and the speakers have these issues. | 04:22 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: IMO, the menu bar set up is highly effective and perhaps the ubuntu devs feel it unnecessary. | 04:23 |
| lgc | How can I make my vanilla gutsy machine a server without stripping it of the GUI and all the goodies? | 04:23 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, windows is gone of course. | 04:23 |
| Darkmystere | When i copy the files to windows the folders are empty? | 04:23 |
| Oli`` | My bookmarks in the places menu have, for some unknown reason, been turned into a single folder with my bookmarks within. Is there any way to turn it back so they're all just listed? | 04:23 |
| tssom | Dr_Willis: I'm amish to linux. just trying to figure out some basic GUI stuff before i venture further into this seemingly vast world of organized chaos :P | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Nubbie: install the services you want.. poof its a server. | 04:23 |
| fourdegrees | the audio plays fine, all the defaults are still "autodetect" and I can hear sound just fine, but sometimes the whole system locks up when the audio device is in use | 04:23 |
| ruru | anyone know where get spider solitaire | 04:24 |
| RyanPrior | fourdegrees: It sounds like you're having a similar problem to quinton_ | 04:24 |
| Dr_Willis | tssom: ive noticed the 'gotta right click in JUST the right place' issue in a lot of OS's :) not just an issue with gnome/kde/linux. | 04:24 |
| djcabz | is it a known issue that the default Network Manager doesn't support "WPA-Enterprise"? | 04:24 |
| RyanPrior | fourdegrees: Unfortunately, I don't know how to help either of you. :-( | 04:24 |

| Tetracomm | :( | 04:25 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, hm, last time installing my driver fixed the issue, however im extremely bad with instructions and would need step by step guidance. | 04:25 |
| tssom | Nubbie: yeh. that's what i've figured so far | 04:25 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, ok. How are you making out? | 04:25 |
| fourdegrees | very strange...i've been searching forums/the 'net and haven't turned up anything similar | 04:25 |
| canerunner | BULMER: That got me to where I can ping the gateway. | 04:25 |
| Xintruder | can installing ubuntu on a laptop cause it to become extra hot? (like bad power/bettery) management or something?? | 04:25 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, I have a linux driver for my exact soundcard... just need someone to help me install it. | 04:25 |

| rodolfo | Nubbie: nm-applet is a good, but very "instable" network manager(very complicated when setting up an wireless connection). i took a look at it's site and the current version(which comes wih Ubuntu) isn't that good thing. On the other hand, Sun's network monitor is...good =/ | 04:26 |
| RyanPrior | quinton_: If you have instructions, I would only be as good as you at installing them probably. | 04:26 |
| bulmer | canerunner, good, so its the encrypted part thats screwing things up ... stay encrypted..you dont have that many nosy neighbors right? | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | dcesiel_: whats the exact command its running? normally shell commands dont use the file://whatever type naming scheme | 04:26 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, That's exactly how you run it from the command line? | 04:26 |
| lgc | Xintruder, should not be any different than your Windows. | 04:26 |
| RyanPrior | quinton_: If you find certain parts of the instructions confusing, you are definitely welcome to ask the room for help. | 04:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I am looking for a solution where a mouse cursor suddenly sildes to the bottom of the screen. Two different track balls on two different machines are doing it. | 04:26 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, I dont even know the basics of linux... thats probaply a brief description of me, hah | 04:26 |
| dcesiel_ | '/home/dcesiel/Applications/ventriloctrl-0.3/runctrl.sh' | 04:26 |
| chuy | Help. I'm having harddrive hell. | 04:26 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, i will see if i can pastebin them to you to see what you think | 04:26 |
| canerunner | BULMER: Well, I can also exclude anything except allowedMAC addresses, too. | 04:26 |
| dcesiel_ | oh but you have to open it | 04:27 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, You shoulnn't make the icon yet, run the file after the chmod by typing in ./filename in a command line | 04:27 |
| dcesiel_ | so sh in front | 04:27 |
| RyanPrior | chuy: You need to ask your questions, not just say "help me". | 04:27 |
| Xintruder | lgc: i hope im having illusions since im up all night till 8 am now! | 04:27 |
| bulmer | canerunner, right..so go uncrypted for a while.. | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Theres a linux port of Ventrilo? | 04:27 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, when you're in the directory that you save the file to | 04:27 |
| Gokee2_temp | If I do "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" I get "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed." How do I fix this? | 04:27 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, you know anything about wine? | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: i use it at times.. andi know theres a LOT of sites with specific program/wine info. :) | 04:27 |
| RyanPrior | Gokee2_temp: see the room topic. This is a known problem and there is currently no workaround. | 04:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues > Gokee2_temp | 04:28 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: Why won't Ubuntu retain a mounted drive? | 04:28 |
| === dmb_ is now known as dmb | ||
| lgc | Xintruder, go have your rest and don't blame Linux of any evil. | 04:28 |
| RyanPrior | chuy: What do you mean, retain it? | 04:28 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: i have never had issues with network manager. | 04:28 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, he's trying to run some wine stuff too, and I told him that when I quit windows, I totally quit | 04:28 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: no crashes, no connection issues, nothing. | 04:28 |
| Darkmystere | I keep gettings this (dont boot me if its too long) "/rofs/etc/apt/trustdb.gpg" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to read it. | 04:28 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, I've never run wine | 04:28 |
| canerunner | BULMER: OK. thaks, I can play with the encryption thing until I strike a workable arrangement. Hopefully, we'll get better encryption packages as time goes on. It's way better now tha it was even with 7.04 | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: last i heard ventrilo does NOT work with wine. | 04:28 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, http://pastebin.ca/843477 | 04:28 |
| RyanPrior | Xintruder: I leave my laptop on all night frequently and don't have heat issues. | 04:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RyanPrior: There is a workaround but it is suggested that people wait for the real fix if they can | 04:28 |
| fourdegrees | maybe I should just file a bug report about the lockups? I'm just about certain it's the audio causing problems... | 04:28 |
| bulmer | canerunner, okay good luck | 04:29 |
| RyanPrior | quinton_: For future reference, the preferred pastebin for Ubuntu is paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 04:29 |

| Gokee2_temp | Any idea on when I fix will come out? | 04:29 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, of course, i will remember. | 04:29 |
| canerunner | BULMER: Thanks, again. I appreciate your efforts!! | 04:29 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: I installed a drive. Ran Ubuntu, mounted the drive and proceeded to use it. Then, when I resboot ubuntu, the drive is nowhere to be found. | 04:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gokee2_temp: No one knows | 04:29 |
| Gokee2_temp | Ok | 04:29 |
| bulmer | canerunner, you're welcome, you can comeback and share your knowledge next time :) | 04:29 |
| RyanPrior | quinton_: Jeez, those are not easy instructions. I would be daunted trying to do that. | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | chuy thats how it works... | 04:30 |
| dcesiel_ | craigbass1976: Running that script requires that I use sudo, how can I chmod that so I can just click on it and it runs? | 04:30 |
| astrophoenix | hi! | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | chuy if its a removeable hd - you need to remount it. If you want it permently mounted edit the /etc/fstab file | 04:30 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, mhm, someone here told me they were very simple and ditched me. | 04:30 |
| rodolfo | Nubbie: I use to travel a lot and when trying to get connected with public wireless network (hotels) it just does not work. it detects the network, but it just does not connect. | 04:30 |
| lgc | Xintruder, RyanPrior, I've left my laptop running at full speed with the full 2 GB of RAM used with 6 desktops for 51 days and no problem. | 04:30 |
| NonPhiDeltA | its l ! | 04:30 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, well, you could put yourself in whatever group has permissions to run the commands | 04:30 |
| Jon__ | For some reason my sound volume adjustments don't work, like if I adjust them in alsamixer I can make it louder and softer, but not from the gnome panel thing, or from XMMS | 04:30 |
| quinton_ | ryanprior, I dont understand a lick of them... thats why im here for help. | 04:31 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: No, like the device is not included in /devices | 04:31 |
| craigbass1976 | dcesiel_, what exactly is requiring root permission? | 04:31 |
| fourdegrees | has anyone else experienced random total system locks while some sort of audio event is taking place? particularly with the ALSA intel8X0 cards? | 04:31 |
| astrophoenix | I just did an install of gutsy server. worked fine. then I pulled the hard drive out of the machine, put that drive in another machine, booted it up, and now I get no eth0. I suspect this other machine has a different type of ethernet card, but not sure what I need to change. | 04:31 |
| RyanPrior | chuy, you mean /dev? | 04:31 |
| bulmer | fourdegrees, any i/o interrupt failure seems to freeze my system, | 04:32 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: you need to select a network before it will connect. it is not in the habit of connecting to random unsecured wireless networks without user intervention. | 04:32 |
| backgen | hey guys, i need some help un-installing and re-installing EVE online on Ubuntu Gibbon | 04:32 |
| fourdegrees | er...ALSA & intel8x0, i should say | 04:32 |
| dcesiel_ | not quite sure, it takes input from the keyboard | 04:32 |
| dcesiel_ | that probaby doesnt help you much though | 04:32 |
| RyanPrior | backgen: You'll have to be more specific. | 04:32 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: yes, and get this, the drive has 2 parts, and only one is listed in /dev | 04:33 |
| Nubbie | backgen: i regret installing EVE. none of the menus are visible. | 04:33 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: wth? | 04:33 |
| backgen | RyanPrior: ok well i downloaded and "installed" EVE but it's not working, so i just want to uninstall it and re-install it into the Home holder and see if that will work....how do you un-install? | 04:33 |
| astrophoenix | can anyone point me towards where the modules to be loaded are listed? | 04:33 |
| === j_ack_ is now known as j_ack | ||
| DrFreeze84 | i have to run sudo ifconfig wlan0 up every time i boot up ubuntu, in order for my wireless card to get listed in the network configuration(and to also to connect to a wireless network). is there anyway for this to be run at startup? | 04:33 |
| backgen | Nubbie: oh is all the text blank for you as well? | 04:33 |
| Nubbie | backgen: yes. | 04:33 |
| RyanPrior | chuy: the drive itself is probably listed as an "hd", as in "hda", but the parts are probably listed as "sd", as in "sda0, sdb0, sdb3" | 04:33 |
| rodolfo | Nubbie: I usually do that. click once on the icon from the notification area and type my password...but it seems it tries to connect but for some reason it not only does not work but also does not return me any error message | 04:34 |
| backgen | Nubbie: that's the exact same problem as me!! Is it a common problem with linux? or do you know of a way to fix it? | 04:34 |
| bulmer | DrFreeze84, pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces so we can look | 04:34 |
| RyanPrior | backgen: Are you using Wine? | 04:34 |
| backgen | RyanPrior: nope | 04:34 |
| backgen | RyanPrior: should i be? | 04:34 |
| slewarne | !w32codecs | 04:34 |
| RyanPrior | backgen: I didn't know EVE had a native Linux build. | 04:34 |
| ubotu | The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages | 04:34 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: i agree Network Manager could use some more (ANY) effective error messages. | 04:34 |

| craigbass1976 | alan`, huh? | 04:37 |
| Nubbie | alan`: what is wubi? | 04:37 |
| craigbass1976 | alan`, You can set one by doing a sudo passwd | 04:37 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: no problem. sry. | 04:37 |
| Unix-like | a packet to install ubuntu from windows | 04:37 |
| alan` | ok | 04:37 |
| RyanPrior | backgen: Anything you install from a binary is hard to uninstall unless it comes with a bundled uninstaller. | 04:37 |
| jerbear | thanks | 04:37 |
| RyanPrior | backgen: That's why the Ubuntu community advocates for the use of debian packages rather than binary installers. | 04:37 |
| craigbass1976 | alan`, then you'll get asked for your password (if it's a new terminal) and then for root's new passwd, twice | 04:37 |
| alan` | it errored me out | 04:37 |
| alan` | it asked for a password for sudo | 04:38 |
| alan` | stupid wubi | 04:38 |
| lgc | rodolfo, do you know of an alternative to nm-applet. Mine just sucks. It's been a problem to me since Hoary. | 04:38 |

| Unix-like | im using wubi, and it works fine... | 04:38 |
| craigbass1976 | alan`, can you set a password? Never done what you're trying | 04:38 |

| Nubbie | hoary was soo long ago lol | 04:38 |

| Stormx2 | RyanPrior, wait, binary packages? What? | 04:38 |
| craigbass1976 | allobjects, 5, right? | 04:38 |
| RyanPrior | backgen: Well, no guarantees it will work well under WINE. But if you want to try it, I noticed that Wine-doors can install EVE for you. | 04:38 |
| Darkmystere | Hey the dude thsat says it running smothly wana help me with my problem? | 04:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: You are much better off not trying to install your own things until you get a better feel for linux | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | allobjects: ubuntu dosent really use runlevels.. I think the default was 3 | 04:39 |
| bulmer | allobjects, 2-5 is same so 2 | 04:39 |
| craigbass1976 | allobjects, oh wait, ub's run levels are different I think | 04:39 |
| Stormx2 | RyanPrior, most apps are distributed as either packaged or source. Not packaged or binary | 04:39 |
| RyanPrior | Stormx2: Not binary packages. Binary *installers* | 04:39 |
| DrFreeze84 | bulmer, http://pastebin.com/d6a3f2b57 . my bad . | 04:39 |
| rodolfo | lgc: still googling for it. but you can try some other that comes with Ubuntu. right-click on your panel and add the 'network monitor' on system & hardware. | 04:39 |
| Stormx2 | Binary installers? | 04:39 |
| Stormx2 | Bleh | 04:39 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: i dont get it. there are binary installers from deb files | 04:39 |
| Stormx2 | I've never seen one. | 04:39 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: hey jack! oh ok...man it seems like linux really bugs a lot of stuff up...like even Google Earth is all buggy for me | 04:39 |
| Nubbie | Jack_Sparrow: it's not that he's bad at linux, it's that the installer was very unspecific as to where it was putting files. not his fault. | 04:39 |
| alan` | craigbass1976: i can get a password for a user but i can't set a root password | 04:39 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, Is there a way around that? For instance, I'm just getting done setting up a xubuntu box, but I'd really like it to not run X | 04:39 |
| Stormx2 | rodolfo, no there's not. | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: disable the gdm service. | 04:40 |
| lgc | rodolfo, what I get on the panel is nm-applet. | 04:40 |
| craigbass1976 | alan`, no idea | 04:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Funny. it works fine for me here.. How did you install it? | 04:40 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: and they are available from sites like getdeb.net | 04:40 |
| Nubbie | alan`: sudo passwd <-- | 04:40 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: through Automatix2 | 04:40 |
| bulmer | DrFreeze84, with that kind of content you will not get any ip address assigned to your nic cards | 04:40 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: Those aren't binary installers. They're just deb packages that aren't available through the repositories. | 04:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nubbie: Dont run an installer if you dont know what it is doing.. | 04:40 |
| Nubbie | backgen: do NOT use automatix. | 04:40 |
| rodolfo | lgc, there is one from Sun microsystems on there | 04:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Exactly what I thought.. | 04:40 |
| Nubbie | Jack_Sparrow: well it's kinda hard to figure that out until it's too late. | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !automatix > backgen | 04:41 |
| Darkmystere | Well Wish me luck guys im done copying | 04:41 |
| Stormx2 | You guys know that automatix is safe now, yeah? | 04:41 |
| wastrel | craigbass1976: you can just turn off the display manager | 04:41 |
| allobjects | craigbass1976: Dr_Willis I'm following a guide for setting up XDMCP support and it says to force runevel 5 in innitab .. but ubuntu only has /etc/event.d/rc-default | 04:41 |
| Stormx2 | It's been safe for ages, that factoid is years old. | 04:41 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: ah ha!!! so i should un-install automatix eh? | 04:41 |
| RyanPrior | !automatix | 04:41 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 04:41 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove ? | 04:41 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: somthing like that. i forget the detailes. | 04:41 |
| craigbass1976 | awesome | 04:41 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: ok so how do i un-install automatix? | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Try a fresh install and then come here and learn how to install things correctly... then they will work | 04:41 |
| Nubbie | Stormx2: it is NOT safe because it doesn't use the repositories. | 04:41 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: so you mean that if these packages don't have an uninstaller i just dont uninstall them from my computer? | 04:41 |
| DrFreeze84 | bulmer, but when i run ifconfig wlan0 up it brings up the wireless card that i have, and automatically connects to my ssid, so im not sure what to do next to get that to work automatically | 04:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: You dont... Period.. Reinstall | 04:41 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, jsut a lot of overhead processor work for a headless box | 04:42 |
| RyanPrior | Stormx2: Automatix has been recently investigated and determed to be still dangerous. | 04:42 |
| Stormx2 | Nubbie, yes it does o.O | 04:42 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: your kidding me...i have to reinstall LINUX? | 04:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: If it was easy to undo.. we wouldnt have a problem with people trying it. | 04:42 |
| Stormx2 | RyanPrior, source? | 04:42 |
| RyanPrior | Stormx2: Let me search my RSS reader for it. One sec. | 04:42 |
| Nubbie | Stormx2: it modifies your sources list temporarily to use other repositories. | 04:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Yep.. complete install. read the link I provided to see WHY you need to reinstall. | 04:42 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: lol...darnit!!! ok is it possible to do a fresh install without the Live CD? | 04:42 |
| Stormx2 | Nubbie: And that makes it unsafe? | 04:43 |
| RyanPrior | rodolfo: It is theoretically possible to uninstall it, but it means lots of hunting and searching for all the stuff the binary installer might have installed. And you'll never know whether you got all of it. | 04:43 |
| Nubbie | Stormx2: umm yes? | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: :) yep. problem with a headlexx box however.. if the hd needs to get checked at boot.. there MAY be an error message printed to the console. saying 'hit ctrl-d and run fsck manually' or similer.. You WONT see those.. the system just will apper to boot.. then hang. no ssh, and so forth | 04:43 |
| bulmer | DrFreeze84, google for a sample interfaces file contents, surely with entries for auto wlan0 would make it auto load at boot | 04:43 |
| jisatsu | I changed my colours with qtconfig, but amarok still uses the old style. any idea why? | 04:43 |
| Stormx2 | Nubbie: And that's a good enough reason for this channel to discourage is, dispite the fact we link people to medibuntu and seveas's repo? | 04:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Do you have the alternate cd or an iso .. anything? | 04:43 |
| DrFreeze84 | thanks, bulmer | 04:43 |
| lgc | rodolfo, it's just f...ing whimsical. The eth1 interface seems fine now. (Except that it couldn't find eth1:avahi). | 04:43 |
| allobjects | Dr_Willis: I'm following this, see step 5 .. http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html | 04:43 |
| Nubbie | Stormx2: medibuntu and seveas repositories are well maintained and are PERMANENTLY added to your sources list. they are signed repositories. | 04:44 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: oh no no, i think i still have the live CD somewhere...just have to dig it up...so i just pop that baby back in and reinstall linux eh? | 04:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find google | 04:44 |
| ubotu | Found: libgoogle-perftools-dev, libgoogle-perftools0, libnet-google-perl, libwww-google-calculator-perl, opensync-plugin-google-calendar (and 1 others) | 04:44 |
| rodolfo | RyanPrior: in other words just dont install packages from the outside. get the repo's ones. ;) | 04:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Yes.. that will save you lots of problems | 04:44 |
| RyanPrior | Stormx2: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html | 04:44 |

I found that, it's an intel 2915abg, but ubuntu couldn't detect it because it connects to usb. with a little research, I found that ipw2200 driver works with this chip. loading module didn't worked. is there anything I can do to tell ubuntu that I have an intel 2915abg at usb? | 04:45 |
| Lopin | Anybody help with a malfunctioning USB keyboard and mouse? | 04:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Would you like instructions on how I installed google earth | 04:45 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: sure! | 04:45 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, Those are not often though... monitor is easy enough to hook up for a bit | 04:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Hold for a sec.. | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: yep..but it had me stumped for a bit.. : ) when my fileserver was... missing. | 04:45 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: oh it's ok jack, don't trouble yourself just yet, i may as well reinstall linux first | 04:46 |
| tssom | How do i unpack a rarset? Got a file packed over multiple files here | 04:46 |
| chibong | hey is any one here an expert ubuntu user | 04:46 |
| lgc | rodolfo, it's the same nm-applet one. I actually have 2 instances of it running, one with eth0 and one with eth1. I believe the signal is going through eth0 though. | 04:46 |
| chuy | tssom: check out 7zip | 04:46 |
| Nubbie | !ask | chibong | 04:46 |
| ubotu | chibong: 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. :-) | 04:46 |

| chibong | i need sum help with my ubuntu installation | 04:46 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, I had it happen at work; ended up leaving a monitor (box wouldn't boo twithout a keyboard anyway, so that was there already) and it's been long enough that I think I can move that screen away now. Watch it crash the next day or something | 04:46 |
| tssom | chuy: Thanks | 04:46 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: bloody hell this is anoying though...i'm gonna kill my friend for recommending Automatix to me | 04:46 |
| chibong | hello? | 04:47 |
| chuy | tssom: no problem | 04:47 |
| Nubbie | chibong: ask your question. | 04:47 |
| xTheGoat121x | backgen, honestly.... I've heard about nothing but problems with automatix | 04:47 |
| Nubbie | chibong: there are over 1100 people here. | 04:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: If it helps, his system will most likely crash when he does the next upgrade.. not to be confused with update | 04:47 |
| golem1 | help. can't mount fbsd 6.x ufs2 partitions in ubuntu 7.10 D: | 04:47 |
| chibong | ok sweet | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | craigbass1976: yea. i like to set up HTOP on a monitor just in case. :) i leave the monitor off most of the time | 04:47 |
| chuy | chibong: what is the problem? | 04:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: FYI.. dont use Envy either | 04:48 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: lol...hey but installing stuff like aMSN and stuff through the Add/Remove is ok right? | 04:48 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: what's Envy? | 04:48 |
| chuy | Envy? | 04:48 |
| rodolfo | lgc, so why does it show eth1 as enabled and working? how many connections do you have enabled? | 04:48 |
| Dr_Willis | I find automatix not needed these days.. not that i ever found it needed. | 04:48 |
| RyanPrior | !envy | 04:48 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 04:48 |
| chuy | haha | 04:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: anything with apt-get synaptic etc is fine.. as long as you do not change your sources.list | 04:48 |
| chibong | well ive installed ubuntu with windows xp dual boot. but for sum reason my second hard drive which i use to store files cannot be seen in windows but only in ubuntu. windows shows a hard drive D: that is not formatted and always asks me if i want to format it | 04:48 |
| craigbass1976 | Dr_Willis, Someday, when I've earned my own space... I'll jsut get a KVM and run my desktop and server off of it. I have to learn php well enough to justify my own workspace though... | 04:49 |
| holiday42 | i want ubuntu to not initialize a usb device when I plug it in, so that I can get vmware to get access to it. | 04:49 |
| RyanPrior | chuy, did you get your hard drive thing worked out? | 04:49 |
| Stormx2 | RyanPrior: Thanks :) | 04:49 |
| RyanPrior | chuy: sorry for kinding of letting you hang loose there. | 04:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: Stick to official repos... and use synaptic, aptitude, apt-get or add-remove and you will be fine | 04:49 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: so you see the list of drives, but check this out: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?1bb8360783.png and this: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?dca508573d.png and this: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?9861408fbe.png | 04:49 |
| RyanPrior | Stormx2: You're welcome. | 04:49 |
| Nubbie | holiday42: vmware can steal USB devices. | 04:49 |
| lgc | rodolfo, I'm not sure eth1 works at all. I'd have to do 'dhclient eth1' in order to switch to eth1. | 04:49 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: ok so in the add/remove thing on the applications menu....absolutely anything is fine? or should i restrict myself to the programs under the "supported applications" tab? | 04:49 |
| litral | hi | 04:49 |
| RabidLockerGnome | hey, anybody using one of the new Apple aluminum keyboards with Ubuntu? | 04:50 |

| chibong | the hard drive is in ntfs format as well | 04:50 |
| litral | Anyone know of a gui for setting up softawre raid 5 on ubuntu gutsy alternate edition | 04:50 |
| chibong | so...? | 04:50 |
| RyanPrior | chuy: Why did you name your hard drive "Vagina Gentium"? =P | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | 0_o | 04:50 |
| holiday42 | Nubbie: how? | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Spaces in names - are not good. :P | 04:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backgen: I have never had an issue with anything in the repos.. May I suggest that after your fresh install you do a backup.. just one line in a terminal so You can always restore to that point | 04:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !backup | 04:50 |
| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 04:50 |
| lgc | rodolfo, by the way, there's kwifimanager and wifi-radar, according to 'apt-cache search wifi. Maybe one of those will do. | 04:50 |
| chibong | can anyone help me | 04:51 |
| holiday42 | Nubbie: because unless i manull rmmod the driver, vmware wont see the usb device | 04:51 |
| backgen | Jack_Sparrow: ok...sigh...well here i go for the fresh install! thanks for all the help and see you guys later | 04:51 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: Guess what's on it. I mean, It's not sexual... Google it. Vagina Gentium=cradle of life. | 04:51 |

| chuy | RyanPrior: yes exactly. My son is an aspiring ObGyn. | 04:52 |
| * Dr_Willis thinks this is getting perverted... | 04:52 | |
| Nubbie | chibong: maybe people did but don't know the answer. you can't have 1100 people all say "i don't know the answer" if you don't get an answer, assume nobody knows, and move on. | 04:53 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: I installed a drive. Ran Ubuntu, mounted the drive and proceeded to use it. Then, when I resboot ubuntu, the drive is nowhere to be found. | 04:53 |
| RyanPrior | chuy: You need to add it to your fstab | 04:53 |
| chibong | ok sorry its my first time lol | 04:53 |
| leandro_ | hi all | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | chuy if its an ide/sata internal drive - you have to add it to your fstab. if its removeble.. you need to remount it every time you boot | 04:53 |

| RyanPrior | chibong: Is it etc3? | 04:54 |
| RyanPrior | chibong: Is it exc3? | 04:54 |

| RyanPrior | chuy: Are you expecting me to find something conspicuously missing? | 04:55 |
| leandro_ | ah.. i have Kubuntu and Windows installed on hda1 and hda2, respectively | 04:55 |
| leandro_ | I have hda3 (extended), and hda4 and hda5 for swap | 04:55 |
| rodolfo | lgc: thuth, but there are rumor that when running a KDE app on Ubuntu, it consumes more processor than running the same KDE app on Kubuntu | 04:56 |
| leandro_ | I tried to install ubuntu 7.10 via live cd... and on the page that you choose how to partition the hd, you get the automatic and manual option. I get automatic, but I just get the "whole hd" option | 04:56 |
| leandro_ | I'd like to install ubuntu 7.10 on the hda2 (windows partition) | 04:57 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: that is true. | 04:57 |

| RyanPrior | It shouldn't consume more processor power, but more RAM is a definite possibility. | 04:57 |
| Darkmystere | Thanks guys =) | 04:57 |
| Nubbie | rodolfo: because running KDE apps in GNOME requires both gnome and KDE services to be running. | 04:57 |
| bullgard4 | The command "udevinfo -q all -n /dev/scd0" works all right. But I do not find in 'man 8 udevinfo' an explanation for the -q, -n and all switches. Where to find them? | 04:57 |
| Darkmystere | I got it working W000t After copying all files to windows guess what it boots up and i have SOUND!Q!!!!! | 04:57 |

| chuy | RyanPrior: a small partitian of a drive labeled disk (hd1) | 04:58 |
| lgc | rodolfo, I don't know about that. But if the choice is between a non-working app and a processor hungry one, what would be your choice? | 04:58 |
| RyanPrior | chibong: Fat32 or NTFS should both work. | 04:58 |

| GekoMan | xLE: apt-cache search java | 05:00 |
| xLE | ta | 05:00 |
| ronnie_ | merc: use ddcprobe as root and remember if you can't reach the full resolution its your monitor not keeping up with the graphics card, all blurred fonts means incorrect size, skippy screen means wrong refresh rate | 05:00 |
| chuy | RyanPrior: ok, you see the 3.6GB volume? That is supposed to accompany a 71 or so GB volume labeled "disk". I believe that "Hpoop" in /media is supposed to be that volume. Hpoop is currently nothing at all. | 05:00 |

| c1|freaky | bot hdds are mounted but im not in their chroot or whatever | 05:04 |
| chuy | chibong: I think you may need to re partician your harddrive. Make a small partician NTFS format so that it can transcend the Fat32 and the ubuntu drives/particians | 05:04 |
| rodolfo | lgc, it depends on your point of view. IF there is no wireless device on your machine it will suck | 05:04 |
| RyanPrior | spee: invoke-rc.d networking restart | 05:04 |

| chuy | c1|freaky: you need the harddrive utility disk to copy one disk to another. | 05:06 |
| Nubbie | chuy: no you don't | 05:07 |
| allad_ | zetheroo : what codec is ur movie in? | 05:07 |
| Nubbie | chuy: dd does a very good job. | 05:07 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: the thing is, that partimage put on the partition sizes of the old HDDs. in cfdisk it shows 750GB in df -h it shows 150GB partitions. that's all ... too strange. now what im trying to do is backing up that stupid first drive and finally JUST copy the data without | 05:07 |

| disk11 | jonaki: first what country do you live in? it might be illegal to install it | 05:08 |
| joanki | us | 05:08 |
| bullgard4 | leandro_: Many people can. Please put a more definite question here. | 05:08 |
| joanki | it's just a regular dvd movie | 05:08 |
| zetheroo | joanki: XVID | 05:08 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, Oh, I see your point: you tried to backup to a bigger disk without manually configuring and formatting it beforehand... | 05:09 |
| c1|freaky | so can someone help me copyying one partition to the other drive | 05:09 |
| joanki | how do i install that zetheroo | 05:09 |
| joanki | sudo apt-get install XVID? | 05:09 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: no i did format them | 05:09 |
| zetheroo | allad_: XVID | 05:09 |
| disk11 | jonaki: well its illegal to install it, i probably can't help you | 05:09 |
| leandro_ | bullgard4: I just got 5 partitions, but the GParted don't recognize any... just the whole HD, unallocated | 05:09 |
| zetheroo | joanki: sorry.... not meant for you | 05:09 |
| lgc | rodolfo, I do have Wifi on my machine! | 05:09 |
| guest_ | whats up with the security emails.... am i so-post to update my system or just Waite for an update???? | 05:09 |
| joanki | are you guys telling me there is no open source software to watch paid for legal dvds? | 05:09 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: but partimage somehow puts the partition sizes on a place at disc, i dont know of so i cant do anything about it. | 05:09 |
| rodolfo | lgc, the truth is there are few options when it's about network-monitor GUI. so far i got very few results spending some time googling for it... | 05:09 |
| disk11 | jonaki: not right now | 05:09 |

| astro76 | !medibuntu | joanki you need libdvdcss2 from here | 05:10 |
| ubotu | joanki you need libdvdcss2 from here: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:10 |

| c1|freaky | thbat whole thign is pissing me off | 05:10 |
| allad_ | zetheroo : VLC knows how to deal with XVID encoded movies. if you're getting weird pictures, the movie data is probably corrupte | 05:10 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, let me try and remember...1.- you setup the partition table of the new disk. 2.- You format every partition. 3.- You fill them with data. | 05:10 |
| zetheroo | joanki: you need to search for medibuntu in google ang install libdvdcss2 | 05:11 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: right using partimage | 05:11 |
| chalcedny | guest_ what security emails? | 05:11 |
| c1|freaky | then i noticed that: http://main.freakyy.de/df.txt and http://main.freakyy.de/cfdisk.txt | 05:11 |
| c1|freaky | oh | 05:11 |
| joanki | ok zetheroo | 05:11 |
| c1|freaky | one moment the server is in rescue mode | 05:11 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, is partimage the utility that comes with gparted? | 05:11 |
| c1|freaky | well, in cfdisk it shows 750GB partitions and in df -h it shows 150GB partitions | 05:11 |
| bullgard4 | leandro_: Hm. Gparted works reliably according to my experiences. I have never met your case. I cannot help you. | 05:11 |

| GekoMan | Darkmystere, what is your java problem? | 05:13 |
| chalcedny | guest_ do you do apt-get update and apt-get upgrade regularly? | 05:13 |
| guest_ | no | 05:13 |
| Darkmystere | Well i cant get It to work basicly i downloaded all the java plugins ect and i tried a basic java online game and it gave me this | 05:13 |
| leandro_ | bullgard4: reliably working, it should display all partitions (i.e., hda1, hda2, hda3...) and informations about it? | 05:13 |
| Darkmystere | err send me paste bin link so i wont flood wiht a single paste | 05:13 |
| chalcedny | guest_ do them as root, let Ubuntu take care of security | 05:13 |
| Darkmystere | Gecko Man please | 05:13 |
| guest_ | but i do the update manager all the time | 05:13 |
| bullgard4 | leandro_: Yes. | 05:14 |
| GekoMan | I'm sorry, I don't what is a paste bin :S | 05:14 |
| chalcedny | Darkmystere my sympathies, i still get a message about java and it won't see some things | 05:14 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: so now i just need to copy the 150GB partition which is filled with 45GB data to the 2nd 750GB which also has a 150GB partition which is filled with 20GB data | 05:14 |
| c1|freaky | *750GB HDD | 05:14 |
| Nubbie | !paste | GekoMan | 05:14 |

| Darkmystere | Well i can run java (but only for runescape because it has an unsighned applet option) | 05:14 |
| chalcedny | GekoMan you paste multi line problems ot the paste bin so others can look at them and help you. you post the url here | 05:14 |
| rodolfo | lgc, you just said you didn't: "...si no tengo Wifi en mi máquina?" | 05:14 |
| leandro_ | bullgard4: hmm.. thats pretty bad.. i think I got this problem after installing windows on a linux-only pc... maybe.. just an assumption.. | 05:15 |
| allad_ | zetheroo : VLC and MPlayer are probably the best players out there. If they can't render your movies properly, I doubt any other player can. But u can always, another rendering engine like gstreamer | 05:15 |
| cry0 | hi, maybe someone can help me out with this. im running ubuntu 7.10 under vmware, bridge networking, getting an ip assigned in ubuntu, can ping outside ips, urls, router...but can't access any website through firefox. someone knows what could cause this? | 05:15 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, the 20 GB were already there? Or are they just an incomplete copy of the old partition? | 05:15 |
| joanki | what software program does something like libdvdcss2 work with? | 05:15 |
| joanki | any? vlc? movieplayer? totem? | 05:15 |
| c1|freaky | so i can finally just have a 748GB partition, removing the swap | 05:15 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: that is other data | 05:15 |
| zetheroo | allad_: the same files play perfectly in VLC on a Mac | 05:16 |

| === ubuntu is now known as setianto | ||
| guest_ | aszwetl what is that | 05:17 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, then you should not use 'dd' since it overwrites it if you don't tell it where to write. You should look at the 'skip' and 'count' parameters of 'dd'. | 05:18 |
| astro76 | joanki: every player will utilize it | 05:18 |
| rodolfo | lgc, i agree with that. good luck! | 05:18 |

| leandro_ | bullgard4: ok.. thank you man | 05:19 |
| Zylogue | aszwet1: well, that is the second step for NFS shares. the first would be to insure the nfs packages are installed. | 05:20 |
| guest_ | aszwetl well it works for me when i cant find what i need to know | 05:20 |
| Dr_Willis | worm: you are refering to a windows shared directory? | 05:20 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, 'dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 bs=1024, skip=20000'. You should be using something like that if you want to keep your data. You'd be better of reading the fine 'learn the dd command' page. It's packed with examples. | 05:20 |

| worm | Dr_Willis > Yes thanks | 05:20 |

| Zylogue | aszwet1: use the synaptic app to search for the string nfs | 05:21 |
| Dr_Willis | worm: gnome has a samba browser feature.. good for simple file transfers.. but not playinb video or media over the share/net.. You may want to mount the shares - for that.. Or use the smbfuse tools to let it auto mount them | 05:21 |
| c1|freaky | lgc: i mean, parts where no data is in? i only need the data, nothing else. so i can also use cp can i? | 05:21 |
| FactTech | Question: I have a strange issue with my sound system -- when I play anything encoded at 96kbps or less, there is a distinct, regular clicking sound in the playback. The length of time between clicks varies with the encoding rate of the sound, and this happens both with static files on the local drive and with streams over the network. My guess is that it's something to do with timing on the routine that translates the recording f | 05:21 |
| FactTech | requency to the playback frequency, but I have no idea how to go about fixing it. Anyone ever see anything like this or have a hunch about how I'd fix it? | 05:21 |
| GekoMan | Darkmystere: the application you're trying to use is trying to create a cache directory. Unfortunately, for a weird reason, It can't. | 05:21 |

| worm | Im running KDE | 05:21 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, it can zero a whole disk if that's what you mean: 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda' and it nicely fills up your disk with zeros. Dd = 'data destroyer'. Beware. | 05:21 |

| lgc | c1|freaky, the fastest way to clone a partition, to write garbage to it or to zero it is dd. Otherwise you'd be fine using 'cp -R' or 'rsync'. | 05:23 |

| c1|freaky | but that dd stuff is making me crazy | 05:24 |
| GekoMan | Darkmystere: it seems like you have all the java versions you may need to run your application. I'm concerned that maybe having all of them at the same time may cause problems.. is the application insist on having one of those versions? | 05:24 |
| lgc | c1|freaky, google for "migrating to a larger disk" or something like that and you'll have a base to do sound things before it's too late...:). | 05:24 |

| ubotu | rodolfo emma: 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) | 05:31 |
| FactTech | Question: Nobody has any ideas on that weird sound problem? Is there a better forum to ask that question on? | 05:31 |

| Darkmystere | That really annoying me .... AWN keeps Exiting... | 05:33 |

| GekoMan | Darkmystere: Sorry but I think I won't be able to help you out this time | 05:37 |
| astro76 | rkj: what's the command? | 05:37 |

| SamsLembas | Hello- How would I go about deleting the preference files for an app (resetting it to the defaults)? | 05:38 |
| Strangework | :D | 05:38 |
| rodolfo | astro76: there are users who say it's not recommended to run an app with root privileges. according to the site, that's exactly what gksudo does | 05:39 |
| Nubbie | SamsLembas: delete the dot folder in your home directory. | 05:39 |
| rkj | astro76 more importantly but off-topic wasn't '76 the year the astros played the phillies for the NL championship? | 05:39 |
| SamsLembas | Ah, of course. Thanks. | 05:39 |
| aszwet1 | so no NFS experts huh? | 05:39 |
| ablyss | SamsLembas: usually the application keeps user preference settings in the home directory as a hidden file, e.g., tvtime would have .tvtime | 05:39 |
| astro76 | rkj: heh dunno | 05:39 |
| astro76 | rkj: when you create the launcher, are you using "Application" or "Application in Terminal"? | 05:40 |
| Darkmystere | Gecko Do u have the Plugin? | 05:40 |
| Darkmystere | For Firefox also? | 05:40 |
| GekoMan | Nope, I opened a private chat, will it work? | 05:40 |
| rkj | astro76 I tried both and neither works | 05:40 |
| Darkmystere | Ill message lol | 05:40 |
| GekoMan | ok | 05:40 |
| astro76 | rkj: try: sh -c $'your command here' | 05:41 |
| ablyss | rodolfo: from what I understand it is not good to run a gui app using su but gksu is okay | 05:41 |
| Darkmystere | GeckoMan Java 6 or Java 5? | 05:41 |
| Darkmystere | or Both? | 05:41 |
| * yaro is in a conundrum. | 05:41 | |
| Darkmystere | Well Didnt work lol | 05:41 |
| GekoMan | java6 is the most recent.. should work | 05:41 |
| Darkmystere | Ill try and make a channel.. | 05:41 |
| astro76 | rodolfo: people say all sorts of things ;) seriously though you should use root only when necessary, especially with gui programs | 05:42 |
| yaro | I seem to have broken all my C development libraries... and can't seem to get them fixed. | 05:42 |
| cubexombi | can i get a little help with flash? (no not the install issue...) I've got sound but it's kinda glitching out on my randomly, skips, but always comes back in sync, I"ve checked the forums, and bug reports but couldn't find anything similar | 05:42 |
| rodolfo | I got it | 05:43 |
| Darkmystere | Make a channel GeckoMan ill try and search for it | 05:43 |
| preston | my monitor keeps telling me the resolution of my grub is off how can i change that? | 05:43 |
| aszwet1 | i have some problems setting up NFS | 05:43 |
| rkj | astro76 meanwhile I tried replacing the "~" with "/home/rkj" and that fixed it - solved my own problem I guess but just for curiosity I'll try your version too. | 05:43 |
| SamsLembas | Anyone happen to know where Ekiga preferences are stored? Don't seem to in ~/.ekiga, and it does not seem to Google well. | 05:43 |
| aszwet1 | any help setting up NFS? | 05:43 |
| GekoMan | Darkmystere: I'm not used to IRC | 05:43 |
| astro76 | rkj: doh, should have caught that... there is no bash to perform the expansion | 05:43 |
| rkj | astro76 thanks for the ubuntu and yay astros | 05:43 |
| Ashfire908 | how do i recover/reset/remove the mysql root password? i can't remember it | 05:43 |
| astro76 | rkj: oh yeah, my sh -c might have fixed it too | 05:44 |
| Darkmystere | LOl neither is that Guys How can we make a channel so we can exchange info? | 05:44 |
| astro76 | rkj: no prob | 05:44 |

| rkj | astro76 do you know where I could find an appropriate icon or where I can download a collection by any chance? | 05:44 |
| cubexombi | I let the video buffer fully, but no matter what the source of the flash vids, be it metacafe or youtube, though Animated flash like games and homestarrunner work great | 05:44 |

| FactTech | elektronisch Have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" when you're at terminal after GDM fails? | 05:47 |
| Fade2BLK | is there any site where i can get me repositories | 05:47 |
| preston | wilson that for me | 05:47 |
| rodolfo | astro76, ablyss: well if this is only for gui-based apps, its ok. but there is no "problem" when running a command line like 'sudo apt-get...', is it? | 05:47 |
| SuperQ | anyone have experience fixing video overlay (Xv) support? | 05:47 |
| SamsLembas | Any clues as to where Ekiga settings are stored? It is not in ~ | 05:47 |
| astro76 | rodolfo: correct, gksudo is only necessary for GUI apps | 05:48 |
| cubexombi | <preston>after editing the /etc/usplash.conf do "sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu" to update it | 05:48 |
| rainwalker | SamsLembas: there's not an .ekiga folder in home? I'm just guessing, I've never used it | 05:48 |
| yaro | astro76: gksudo isn't even needed for GUI, far as I can tell.. I can launch GUI apps with sudo no problem. | 05:48 |
| SamsLembas | Rainwalker: Note. | 05:48 |
| SamsLembas | *nope | 05:48 |

"gksu gedit /etc/usplash.conf" and change the value that's there to what you monitor's default range is.. then run that other command i gave you to update usplash . | 05:52 |
| preston | wilson or cubexombi x res should be 1440 and y should be 900 for a 1440 by 900 correct | 05:52 |

| PurpZeY | amber__: Gutsy or Feisty | 06:09 |
| PurpZeY | ? | 06:09 |
| amber__ | gutsy | 06:10 |
| rodpod | anyone know if the ubuntu release of eggdrop has the same vulnerability as debians? | 06:10 |
| Darkmystere | lol well anybody.. | 06:10 |
| guest_ | julz can we do a privet chat ? | 06:10 |
| PurpZeY | amber__: I have personally seen lots of problem with hibernate and the like in feisty. I am told they are somewhat resolved in Gutsy, but I can't speak to that | 06:10 |
| disk11 | darkmystere: ill give it a shot, whats the problem? | 06:10 |
| amber__ | and it worked good before.. i've been messing with xorg.conf, but that shouldnt mess with the sleep mode i think.. anyways, its restored to previous status | 06:10 |
| julz | guest_: sure, you'll have to start cos i dont know how ;) | 06:10 |
| PurpZeY | amber__: Yeah, I don't think sleep is controlled in xorg. | 06:11 |
| Darkmystere | Disk11 well first of all make a channel so i wont have to be a treasure tooter to find ur new replies | 06:11 |
| chalcedony | rodpod: i didn't know debian had an eggdrop, that might let me do a lot of the things i've been frustrated by with Xchat.. tell me more? | 06:11 |
| Darkmystere | i have a darkmystere 1 1 going | 06:11 |
| guest_ | the message is under the server name | 06:11 |
| Darkmystere | join it | 06:11 |
| amber__ | its not sleep mode, or it shouldnt be.. i run a webserver on it, or i intend to, so i dont want it to turn itself off.. just the screen off | 06:11 |
| guest_ | julz the message is under the server name | 06:11 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/default/acpi-support includes the entry: "# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in the resume process: STOP_SERVICES='networking'. What 'networking' is meant here? The file /etc/init.d/networking or what? | 06:11 |
| rkj | except that DPMS thing has something to do with sleep mode, no? | 06:11 |
| amber__ | yeah, i meant to say its not full sleep mode.. or it shouldnt be | 06:12 |
| guest_ | julz well | 06:12 |
| amber__ | any idea which logs to dig through for errors on sleep mode? | 06:12 |
| julz | guest_: umm, im really lost sorry, that flew right over my head | 06:12 |
| guest_ | right click on my name and click on privet chat | 06:13 |
| disk11 | !away | 06:13 |
| ubotu | You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines | 06:13 |
| chalcedony | guest_: if either you or julz is unregistered, you won't be able to see messages | 06:14 |
| guest_ | why? | 06:14 |
| guest_ | julz never mind | 06:14 |
| chalcedony | guest_: because of abuse, freenode has messags blocked from unregistered users, by default | 06:14 |
| guest_ | julz whats up | 06:14 |
| julz | guest_ yeah i just got rejected, nevermind, ill move the printer to a windows box and print from there, thanks for the help though :) | 06:14 |
| chalcedony | julz: good luck | 06:15 |
| julz | thank ;) | 06:15 |
| guest_ | chalcedony thank you \ | 06:15 |
| chalcedony | my printer works quite well from ubuntu .. but my son set it up | 06:15 |
| ipzim | I've redirectMatch it to /wp/ (as a directory), and my apache is listening on port 6606 .. so, whenever I type in >> http://localhost:6606 .. it automatically redirects to /wp/ great, but it redirects as http://localhost/wp/ .. what happened to the 6606 part? :( How do I fix it? | 06:15 |
| chalcedony | and rebooting fixed my keyboard problem. .i may NEVER move the thing again ! | 06:16 |

| aszwet1 | is there a way to set a user to autologin using the terminal? | 06:24 |

| ozzloy | my IM connections keep dropping. how do i figure out why and fix it? | 06:25 |
| jack | im guessing your im friends suck, and thats the cause,.. :) | 06:26 |
| supersako | does the 64 bit ubuntu run 32 bit apps easily or does it take excessive tweaking and playing around with stuff? | 06:26 |
| jack | just kiddin | 06:26 |
| mattholimeau | yeah - i've been looking at a demo of compiz on youtube | 06:26 |
| mattholimeau | it looks nice... can you change the background picture when using the cube? | 06:26 |

| jack | its a live cd too, so you can check it out that way | 06:28 |
| rainwalker | TheHappyFatElf: what is it? | 06:28 |
| mkquist | anyone have opinions about the best partitioning tool for ubuntu? partman? | 06:28 |
| rainwalker | jack no it's a live DVD | 06:28 |
| rainwalker | mkquist: gparted is already installed, i think | 06:29 |
| mattholimeau | gotta reboot | 06:29 |
| jack | http://ultimateedition.info/ | 06:29 |

| jack | live dvd, yeah,...1.8GB | 06:29 |

| Ketsuban | Hi. My question is a little difficult to put into words, so I hope this image will do the talking for me: http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/3266/screenshotsr2.png - this applies to all file types - undeletable "Open With" entries which I'd really rather get rid of. | 06:30 |
| rainwalker | jack linux mint comes with codecs, you could try that | 06:30 |
| rodolfo | mikebot: did you get it from the repository? | 06:30 |
| jack | you like the mint eh | 06:30 |
| rainwalker | jack not really | 06:31 |
| jack | i still need to get this touchpad working | 06:31 |
| TheHappyFatElf | rainwalker, stuff... share folder, src folder, COPING document, Readme and setup.py | 06:31 |
| jack | brb, gonna restart x again | 06:31 |
| pvl1 | for some reasoneverytime i log in again, i have to change desktops in one line, how can i save it so that its in 2 lines? | 06:31 |
| disk11 | can anyone help me with a tv card issue? | 06:32 |
| rodolfo | Ketsuban: i still don't get it. what do you really want to do? | 06:32 |
| TheHappyFatElf | rainwalker, do u know how i can install it? | 06:32 |
| Jon__ | how do you reload x11 | 06:32 |
| Jon__ | or xorg | 06:32 |
| rainwalker | TheHappyFatElf: read the readme | 06:33 |
| rainwalker | Jon__: control + alt + backspace | 06:33 |
| Ketsuban | rodolfo: Delete the highlighted entry in the list. I have similar trouble with other file types - entries on the Open With list which I don't want there. | 06:33 |
| mikebot | rodolfo: Don't remember. | 06:33 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/default/acpi-support includes the entry: "# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in the resume process: STOP_SERVICES='networking'. What 'networking' is meant here? The file /etc/init.d/networking or what? | 06:33 |
| rodolfo | Ketsuban, you may not be able to remove it because it may not be installed | 06:33 |
| bullgard4 | The command "udevinfo -q all -n /dev/scd0" works all right. But I cannot find in 'man 8 udevinfo' an explanation for the -q, -n and all switches. Where to find them? | 06:34 |
| Jon__ | For some reason the top part of my windows arent loading | 06:34 |
| jack | jon__, use ctrl+alt+backspace | 06:34 |
| Jon__ | like the X and . | 06:34 |
| Ketsuban | rodolfo: Thunderbird is installed. | 06:34 |
| Jon__ | jack: TRied that, still not fixing my windows | 06:34 |
| jack | whats the issue? | 06:34 |
| Jon__ | I have no title bars on my windows | 06:34 |
| jack | did you change it to be that way, maybe? | 06:35 |
| rodolfo | mikebot: if you are talking about 1.51, then it has something to do with your video card | 06:35 |
| rodolfo | mikebot: check it out on MISC > ABOUT | 06:36 |
| mattholimeau | what was the name of the not-berylk thing i just enabled? | 06:36 |
| Jon__ | jack: possibly, but I don't know what I have done, was messing with compiz settings earlier but they wouldnt like, change automaticly just by turning them on or off, so i might of changed something | 06:36 |
| mattholimeau | non-beryl* | 06:36 |
| mattholimeau | compiz? yeah, that was it | 06:36 |
| jack | yeah, it hijacks everything | 06:36 |
| vwhydrowv | hello all | 06:36 |
| jack | a bit of a monsterI think | 06:36 |
| Brandon_Henri | Brandon Henri beat Chuck Norris in arm wrestling. | 06:37 |
| Ketsuban | rodolfo: the entry was first listed as "Mozilla Thunderbird" and WAS removable; I removed it and it replaced itself with that one which is not removable. | 06:37 |
| Brandon_Henri | I AM SO HUNGRY! Food for da great Brandon Henri! | 06:37 |
| rainwalker | mattholimeau: Compiz Fusion | 06:37 |
| jack | hellp vwhydrowv | 06:37 |
| rodolfo | Ketsuban, so you want to remove thunderbird from the 'open with' options tab | 06:37 |
| Ketsuban | Yes. | 06:37 |
| Jon__ | jack: Any help? =/ | 06:37 |
| jorian | nick jorian | 06:37 |
| vwhydrowv | once i get this system up, can someone give me a hand with ntfs-3g | 06:37 |
| vwhydrowv | i cant get it to notice read/write access | 06:38 |
| vwhydrowv | just read access | 06:38 |
| jack | look under your compiz config settings manager and it should be somewhere there | 06:38 |
| jack | give me a sec and ill hunt | 06:38 |
| vwhydrowv | ok | 06:38 |
| rodolfo | Ketsuban, hold on let me check this out here.. | 06:38 |
| vwhydrowv | thanks | 06:38 |
| maxagaz | why VLC can't open DVD-9 ? | 06:39 |
| Jon__ | jack: Ah, it was window decorations, they were turned off. Thanky ou | 06:39 |
| jack | np jon, glad to have helped | 06:39 |
| vwhydrowv | its set to have write access for removable drives | 06:40 |
| jack | i dont use compiz, i like beryl instead | 06:40 |
| Jon__ | I thought compiz was just a big package with beryl stuff | 06:40 |
| jack | naw, they are totally seperate | 06:40 |
| jack | same idea though, 3d fancy stuff | 06:40 |
| rainwalker | beryl and compiz merged to make Compiz Fusion | 06:41 |
| vwhydrowv | anyone have this issue? | 06:41 |
| jack | compiz has always screwed up on me, im on an intel blah blah intergrated graphics chip with this laptop | 06:41 |
| pvl1 | is it possible to save my option for my workspace to be in 2 roaws? | 06:41 |
| jack | i hear the nvidia drivers and compiz fusion is great though | 06:41 |
| rainwalker | pvl1: are you using compiz? | 06:42 |
| rodolfo | Ketsuban, i would say that it's still there because of some thunderbird-related plugin | 06:42 |
| pvl1 | rainwalker, no, i wish | 06:43 |
| mikebot | rodolfo: Thanks. | 06:43 |
| vwhydrowv | when someone gets a chance, i need a hand with ntfs-3g | 06:43 |
| rodolfo | mikebot: np come back if you have more questions.. | 06:43 |
| rainwalker | pvl1: well then you can just right-click on the workspace switcher in your panel and change it to 2 rows | 06:43 |
| chalcedony | vwhydrowv: probably better to ask | 06:43 |
| vwhydrowv | i did, didnt get a response | 06:44 |
| chalcedony | vwhydrowv: maybe no one knows | 06:44 |
| Ketsuban | rodolfo: what do you suggest? I have Thunderbird installed, but I don't see why that should impact whether it's listed in the Open With list for a particular (unrelated!) file type. | 06:44 |
| pvl1 | rainwalker, i do that, remove it since i do it from the keyboard, and it wont save | 06:44 |
| vwhydrowv | its not giving read/write access to the drive, wondered if anyone has had this issue before? | 06:44 |
| pvl1 | rainwalker, sorry i gotta go | 06:44 |
| Ketsuban | rodolfo: this isn't just HTML files and Thunderbird - I have an undeletable Firefox listing in the Open With list for PNG files, and the same will be true for other filetypes. | 06:45 |
| rainwalker | pvl1: well i think you have to leav it | 06:45 |
| rainwalker | leave* | 06:45 |
| rainwalker | because if you don't leave it, it will go back to one tow | 06:45 |
| rainwalker | row* | 06:45 |
| rainwalker | jeez, I just can not type | 06:45 |
| supersako | anyone here using a core 2 duo with 64 bit ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| TigranG | Hi. I have a big problem, had it for a while, asked a couple times before, no luck. Hoping to get it fixed this time. Basically, I cant hibernate/standby. On resume its just a black screen but I can see my hard drive working. | 06:46 |
| rodolfo | Ketsuban, as I am (still) a newbie on Ubuntu, i would run this command line: sudo apt-get remove --purge thunderbird to remove everything related to it on your system and install it again. | 06:46 |
| ozzloy | how do i troubleshoot a spotty connection? | 06:47 |
| cubexombi | how do I launch firefox from terminal so taht i can keep an eye on what every making it crash, I'm not getting an error message otherwise, the window just disappears. | 06:47 |

| ozzloy | cubexombi: just type "firefox" | 06:48 |
| ozzloy | cubexombi: then <enter> | 06:48 |
| cubexombi | ozzloy: even that diesn;t seem to leave me with much to go on though | 06:48 |
| rainwalker | cubexombi: that's how you run it from the terminal, though | 06:49 |
| ozzloy | cubexombi: you could strace firefox | 06:49 |
| mylogic | What's the best way to see where my mobile phone connected via USB's path is (like /dev/ttyUSB0, etc)? lsusb doesn't help | 06:49 |
| rainwalker | cubexombi: any error will appear in the terminal | 06:49 |
| ozzloy | cubexombi: strace firefox > firefoxLog.txt | 06:49 |
| Jon__ | For some reason with my flash player plugin sound doesn't work =/ | 06:49 |
| rainwalker | mylogic: if it's mounted, you should be able to go to Places > Computer | 06:49 |
| ozzloy | cubexombi: that will give you a whole bunch of info to go on | 06:50 |
| ozzloy | cubexombi: try just using the normal firefox stuff first | 06:50 |
| cubexombi | ozzloy sounds good... wll give it a shot | 06:50 |
| ozzloy | cubexombi: the stuff from terminal | 06:50 |
| vwhydrowv | im using ntfs-3g but its still not giving me read/write access to the drive, has anyone ran into this problem before? | 06:50 |

| aszwet1 | ok i have a question about setting up remote connections, should i log out of the box i'm trying to connect to using the desktop gui, or should i leave it logged in? i'm setting it up as only a fileserver | 06:51 |
| cubexombi | i just thought there might have been a different flag to get a more verbose log of what was going on | 06:51 |
| mattholimeau | anyone know what i can do to increase the screen resolution options? | 06:51 |
| bullgard4 | The command "udevinfo -q all -n /dev/scd0" works all right. But I cannot find in 'man 8 udevinfo' an explanation for the -q, -n and all switches. Where to find them? | 06:52 |

| lamalex | I want to make my windows that have some sort of notice blink a different colour but I can't figure out what to change | 06:53 |
| rainwalker | lamalex: there isn't really a how to...you kinda just have to mess with things | 06:53 |
| PurpZeY | supersako: I have not run both, but I have heard that question asked and answered issued as, it's not worth it. | 06:53 |
| supersako | thanks Purp\ | 06:54 |
| lamalex | rainwalker: is there any sort of guide as to what values to use? I don't even know where to start | 06:54 |

| rainwalker | lamalex: I honestly have no idea, I've been meaning to mess around with theming but I haven't gotten around to it | 06:56 |
| cubexombi | ozzloy i would have figured safe mode o do it but it gives you the terminal back after launching.. | 06:56 |

| disk11 | mattholimea1: looks like the best you can do is 800x600 | 07:38 |
| bidossessi | stefann, yes. i'm trying to figure out if your ip can be used on the internet or if it's the private kind | 07:38 |

| ubuntufreak | What is the command in ffmpeg to separate the audio from the video | 07:44 |
| bidossessi | but i prefer bashpodder because it uses wget and can resume downloads, which is important for me on a slow conn | 07:44 |
| rkj | How can I find a file on my system? I tried "ls -aR / | grep libmp3lame" and found it's there but the output doesn't tell me what directory | 07:44 |

| insmod | <rkj> locate libmp3lame* | 07:45 |
| fallore | er TigranG, i'm sorry for the noob question, but where are the programs located? :/ the linux equivalent of "program files" i guess | 07:45 |
| bidossessi | you have podcast support in almost all the major media players as well banshee/amarok | 07:45 |
| muaddib | biodossessi: rythmnbox places all podcast in one pane and its somewhat difficult to read unless you using tags | 07:45 |
| TigranG | fallore: /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin, but you can just type the name of the program, what program do you want to start? | 07:45 |
| muaddib | bidossessi: gpodder seem horribly slow when refreshing podcast and updating | 07:45 |
| insmod | <rkj> pwd | 07:46 |
| fallore | pidgin, xchat, and rhythmbox, but i think i can figure it out from here, thanks TigranG :] | 07:46 |
| bidossessi | muaddib, it is, that's why i use bashpodder. in runs as a cron job so i don't even take care of it | 07:46 |
| TigranG | fallore: np | 07:46 |

| insmod | :) | 07:47 |
| muaddib | biodossessi: is bashpodder threaded it seems it downloads podcast sequentially | 07:48 |

| insmod | hi just got a 64bit system -- am i to understand there is no flash 9 for it?? | 07:48 |
| bazhang | !night | 07:48 |
| ubotu | It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | 07:48 |
| Darkmystere | err guys i get this when trying to open a torrent with bittorrent how could i forward the torrent to Utorrents in Wine? | 07:48 |
| Darkmystere | urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused') | 07:49 |
| simplyubuntu | haha nice factoid | 07:49 |
| bazhang | !flashissues | 07:49 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 07:49 |

| bazhang | kayce: window manager or theme? | 08:02 |
| Creed | kayce, you could replace Gnome with XFCE (what comes with Xubuntu) | 08:02 |
| Raaawr | !tor-gpg | 08:02 |
| ubotu | You can use tor and still access #ubuntu and other channels that have tor blocked. How? Read http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml#tor to find out how to bypass all the tor hassles on freenode. | 08:02 |
| Creed | kayce, its very light-weight compared to GDM or KDM | 08:02 |
| aszwet1 | can anyone help me set up a vnc4server/ | 08:02 |
| aszwet1 | ? | 08:02 |
| kayce | cool, how do i get it? | 08:02 |
| Creed | kayce, I believe you can open up Synaptic and install it from there. | 08:03 |
| Return0 | I just tried installing xfce to try to play an MKV file on my PS3 (which has the rsx hack) | 08:03 |
| Return0 | but it wasn't enough | 08:03 |
| kayce | ok, thank you :) | 08:03 |

| YoshiG3 | I didn't have this problem before, when I used this card it worked fine, it's just because I switched it out with an nVidia for a few hours | 08:10 |

According to a source I read, the hfs+ loopback driver in Linux does not support certain parts of this image and I'm supposed to use some other method to extract it. Anybody know any other methods that I can use to access it without having to have a mac? | 08:13 |
| mkquist_ | Creed: why wouldnt using cp with wildcard work? | 08:13 |
| ompaul | kikr, set up a file foo with say ls -al in it as your command then - use this: at -f foo 08:13 in it | 08:13 |
| YoshiG3 | makuseru: so do you have any idea how to get the drivers working then? There seems to be no one in compiz-fusion speaking, as weird as that sounds | 08:13 |
| Darkmystere | Err Well Deskspace works in Windows XP also.... and i had the line up thing that shows windows in a up down left right keys thing and i had the madotate.. | 08:14 |

| Darkmystere | Uhm u mean RealTech? | 08:18 |

| scguy318 | Darkmystere: I think you mean Realtek, but yes | 08:18 |

| Darkmystere | i have a Ethernet Device for Realtech.... Sorrry i was just was trying to help | 08:18 |
| mikebot | Creed: Auto. Would that matter? | 08:18 |
| scguy318 | shoppy123: unfortunately aircrack isn't something I know about | 08:18 |
| Creed | mikebot, if any media on CD'/DVD's skip, burn at the lowest speed allowed by the disk/drive | 08:19 |
| mkquist_ | Creed: cp *.jpg 'source' (or just be in that directory) 'destination' - i just cd to that directory first then just gave destination... | 08:19 |
| shoppy123 | okay i just want to get my internet back up and going instead of using a live cd | 08:19 |
| Creed | mikebot, auto might set it to burn too fast that your player has trouble reading it (mine cant read above 12x burn DVD's) | 08:19 |
| scguy318 | Darkmystere: okay, but if Realtek isn't in the RDM, then how would you suggest you enable/renable the driver? | 08:19 |
| Darkmystere | Can Some 1 help me With installing and patching the madwifi Drivers i can go into monitor mode but Airodump Shows no Access Points | 08:19 |

| scguy318 | Darkmystere: why? | 08:20 |
| mikebot | Creed: OK, thanks a lot. | 08:20 |
| c1|freaky | when i did a dpkg --get-selections > file and dpkg --set-selections < file | 08:20 |

| c1|freaky | how can i let install those selections? | 08:21 |
| Darkmystere | Scguy318: so i can google and see if ur Answer comes up i put the information together like i.e Help Ubuntu 7.10 Realtek (insert Chipset here) wont let me access internet | 08:21 |

| eckesicle | mattholimea1, okay, then restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. If it won't start you can revert the change we made with sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf~~ /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:21 |
| scguy318 | tarelerulz: you may need to chkdsk the partition, as I suggested earlier | 09:21 |

| rgnr | scguy318: how do i check installation? | 09:23 |
| scguy318 | tarelerulz: chkdsk partitionname? | 09:23 |
| aslan | Darkmystere_: start it from command line by typing avant-window-navigator | 09:23 |
| scguy318 | rgnr: check? | 09:23 |
| Darkmystere_ | That leads to another problem if i close the command prompt it closes also... | 09:23 |
| aslan | then tell me what it says right before it dies. | 09:23 |
| scguy318 | Darkmystere_: start it with nohup | 09:23 |

| drcode | hi all | 09:48 |
| ljsmithx | Hello | 09:48 |
| linkslice | ozzloy, i've got the compiz manager but when i hit 'enable gl desktop it doesn't save | 09:48 |
| drcode | is there ubuntu release light with console only? | 09:48 |
| ljsmithx | not sure | 09:48 |
| drcode | I am looking for light with only console , so I can run it has small server | 09:48 |
| drcode | I mean light that apt-get is empty | 09:49 |
| Zylogue | drcode: there is a server 'version' that is console only | 09:49 |
| ljsmithx | I can't help you here drcode. Maybe someone else can? | 09:49 |
| drcode | server is light? | 09:49 |
| praveen_ | linksllice hey do u hav ubuntu 7.10 ? | 09:49 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: what version of ubuntu? | 09:49 |
| Zylogue | drcode: probably not as light as you would like... | 09:49 |
| drcode | is there other dist? | 09:49 |
| ljsmithx | DSL? | 09:50 |
| ljsmithx | Knoppix lol | 09:50 |
| Am|sh | ugh... vmware-server does not want to run on ubuntu-server... | 09:50 |
| drcode | k | 09:50 |
| drcode | yhnx | 09:50 |
| Am|sh | looks like i'm going to have to install regular ubuntu | 09:50 |
| eckesicle | Am|sh, why not? | 09:50 |
| TheHappyFatElf | hi guys | 09:50 |
| linkslice | ozzloy, 7.10? i think | 09:50 |
| ljsmithx | hey | 09:50 |
| tato | how do you select and move that selection content in GIMP? | 09:50 |
| Zylogue | drcode: not sure. perhaps you could use a rescue disk to create your fs and then install your kernel and loader | 09:50 |
| === why is now known as whyups | ||
| Am|sh | eckesicle: it's missing many libraries | 09:50 |
| Am|sh | eckesicle: mostly x11 related | 09:51 |
| Zylogue | that is about as 'light' as it gets.. | 09:51 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: go to System -> About Ubuntu | 09:51 |
| shoppy123 | try out debian | 09:51 |
| eckesicle | aah yes you need to install X to run vmware | 09:51 |
| linkslice | ozzloy, ah yeah 7.10 | 09:51 |
| Zylogue | drcode: there is also slackware | 09:51 |
| ljsmithx | under the top right hand corner is a symbol that has a four way cross on it, select that , tato | 09:51 |
| moDumass | when i click on a torrent i get this error "Cannot copy /tmp/True_Combat_Elite_0_49a.torrent to /home/evilsherpa/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor0/torrent: Cannot talk to klauncher" any ideas why? google pretty much says use azarus | 09:51 |
| ljsmithx | I hope thats what you ment | 09:51 |
| eckesicle | Zylogue, yes the light slack is called zipslack | 09:52 |
| Am|sh | eckesicle: which i think is silly, considering this is a "server" that is going to be hosting server-only guests (ie freebsd, ubuntu-server, etc)... no x at all | 09:52 |
| Moniker42 | how would i search a particular volume for images above a certain resolution? | 09:52 |
| TheHappyFatElf | I just tryed to install compiz fusion on gusty and in the process i uninstalled my desktop affects. Now i dont want compiz fusion, i just want the reqular affects that come with gusty. Is there a way i can get these back? Maybe deleat all the compiz things somehow and then reinstall the affects that came with gusty? Anyone know how to do this? Any help would be awesome :) | 09:52 |
| tato | ljsmithx: you mean the Move Tool? | 09:52 |
| Jowi | moDumass, what is klauncher (a part of kde perhaps)? is it running? (ps -A | grep -i runner) | 09:52 |
| ljsmithx | Yes, is that what you ment? | 09:52 |
| Jowi | s/runner/launch | 09:53 |
| ljsmithx | ohho | 09:53 |
| tato | ljsmithx: I though that would do what I want, but its moving the whole layer, not just the selection | 09:53 |
| ljsmithx | hmm | 09:53 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: it should be enabled by default ... T_T | 09:53 |
| linkslice | ozzloy, heh | 09:53 |
| eckesicle | Am|sh, http://itgeek.squarespace.com/journal/2006/11/7/howto-vmware-server-101-on-ubuntu-server-610.html | 09:54 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: looking for a forum. googling "ubuntu 7.10 compiz" | 09:54 |
| ljsmithx | tato I'm not sure. Maybe cur the selection out then try | 09:54 |
| ljsmithx | cut* | 09:54 |
| Am|sh | eckesicle: the process should be similar for 7.10 and vmware 1.04 right? | 09:55 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: you have compizconfig installed, right? | 09:55 |
| eckesicle | Am|sh, ya | 09:55 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: make sure you have installed compizconfig-settings-manager installed | 09:56 |
| blacklines | sorry to interupt, is there anyone about who could help me with some issues im having getting sound to work under 7.0.4? | 09:56 |
| moDumass | Jowi this is the response to that ps evilsherpa@evilsherpa-desktop:~$ ps -A | grep -i runner | 09:56 |
| moDumass | 5052 ? 00:00:00 hald-runner | 09:56 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: i think that's what gives you the Advanced Desktop option in preferences | 09:56 |
| Jowi | moDumass, ps -A | grep -i launch | 09:56 |
| linkslice | ozzloy, ok it's not installed, installing now | 09:56 |
| Jowi | moDumass, (my fault, typo) | 09:57 |
| ozzloy | linkslice: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager should do it | 09:57 |
| moDumass | thats cool, i typed ps -A | grep -i launch but there is no return | 09:57 |
| ljsmithx | hah cool | 09:57 |

| ljsmithx | Prefrences>Sound? | 09:58 |
| Jowi | moDumass, ask in #kubuntu if klauncher is a part of KDE. if so, perhaps you need to install additional stuff. | 09:58 |
| smmagic | Is there anyway I can open archive manager with root access? | 09:58 |

| Jowi | robdeman, postfix is good. | 10:01 |
| Jowi | !postfix | robdeman | 10:01 |
| ubotu | robdeman: postfix is the default !MTA and !MDA on Ubuntu. For help, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto - See also !MailServer | 10:01 |

| Jowi | robdeman, also if you use maildir (if you don't know what that is you don't use it) you might want to create their maildirs (with maildirmake either in their user home dir or /etc/skel) | 10:06 |
| rmees | hi I have an Asus laptop I but my phone memory in my laptop but it not show. can any one help me? | 10:06 |
| ljsmithx | !doesn't work | 10:06 |
| ubotu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 10:06 |
| khermans | ljsmithx, isnt that a paid prog? | 10:06 |
| linkslice | ozzloy, yeah | 10:06 |
| robdeman | Jowi: Yes I do use Maildir | 10:06 |

| blacklines | khermans: did you get my message? | 10:07 |
| TheHappyFatElf | Anyone? | 10:08 |
| Jowi | robdeman, maildirmake will create the standard Maildir for the user. if you run the command in /etc/skel/ then all *new users you setup* will get the Maildir created automatically. /etc/skel is like a template for the users home directory. | 10:08 |
| khermans | blacklines, no | 10:08 |
| rmees | Memory Stick Duo | 10:08 |
| blacklines | ive actually been through all of that, it looks ok--my soundcard is detected, i think it has something to do with the modules not loading or not being loaded correctly--ive been through the howto on the forums a number of times, but it doesnt seem to want to compile them correctly with or without modassist.... | 10:08 |
| nila | normal sound is working bot in the internet ( youtube and other site ) | 10:08 |
| TheHappyFatElf | .. | 10:09 |
| khermans | blacklines, what chopset of model pc? | 10:09 |
| nila | no black line | 10:09 |
| Jowi | robdeman, otherwise you will have to run maildirmake in their already setup /home/user dir. | 10:09 |
| c1|freaky | the next shutdown | 10:09 |
| ljsmithx | TheHappyFatElf, right click on your desktop and goto visual effects, then goto none | 10:09 |
| hunchybunch | TheHappyFatElf, log out and goto a terminal ctrl-alt-F1 and rm -R .gnom* - should take you back to original desktop | 10:09 |

| khermans | blacklines, you can try an older kernel | 10:16 |
| blacklines | i tried reverting back to the previous one on boot | 10:16 |
| blacklines | and the issue remained | 10:17 |
| blacklines | are the alsa drivers kernel components? (sorry if thats a dumb question) | 10:17 |

| PurpZeY | If I want to set a value in a script or in a config file to a particular directory...e.g. .wine....should it look like ~./wine/drive_C/.....Or /.wine/....without ~? | 11:10 |
| hunchybunch | Sontax, change it in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:10 |
| Sontax | to what ? | 11:10 |
| khermans | david919, when was the last time you booted, before the new kernel, that everything was working fine? | 11:10 |
| hunchybunch | Sontax, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf - change nvidia to nv? | 11:10 |
| khermans | david919, and what changed? | 11:10 |
| khermans | Sontax, sudo restricted-manager | 11:11 |
| david919 | khermans: this kernel has been working fine for a long time but just in the last 2 weeks or so its started to do weird things | 11:11 |
| Sontax | Section "device" says Driver "nv" | 11:11 |
| khermans | david919, so what changed? | 11:11 |
| Accord | PurpZeY: the ~ means your home directory. ~/.wine/ is the same as /home/PurpZeY/.wine/ | 11:11 |

| khermans | Sontax, oh why not? | 11:15 |
| roo | I finally got flash working :D | 11:15 |
| khermans | Sontax, you need nv? | 11:15 |

| khermans | hairulfr, are you on an installed ubunut/ | 11:20 |
| khermans | hairulfr, or inside the installer? | 11:20 |
| hunchybunch | Sontax, yes, those are previous ones - you could copy by cp xorg.conf.2 xorg.conf? | 11:20 |
| hairulfr | khermans: Well, it's has a closed padlock on it and not any option to resize, just greyed out. Installed ubuntu. | 11:21 |

| mattholimeau | compiz rules. | 11:21 |
| khermans | Quicksilva, /usr/share ? | 11:22 |
| Quicksilva | hmmm? :o | 11:22 |
| hunchybunch | Sontax, but if you did this by installing the nvidia driver by some other means other than the ubuntu way, it may not do you any good. | 11:22 |
| allobjects | Can someone tell my why I get a black screen when I try 'switch user' ? | 11:22 |
| Sontax | im on ubuntu now again :) | 11:22 |
| Quicksilva | is there a copy in there. will look now | 11:22 |
| Sontax | but my resolution isn;t good | 11:22 |
| Sontax | how do i fix that ? | 11:22 |
| david919 | khermans: any ideas? | 11:23 |
| hunchybunch | screen resolution is under system/preferences | 11:23 |
| Sontax | ya but i cant do it higher than 1024 | 11:23 |
| rudihawk | allobjects - have you waited for awhile when it goes black? | 11:23 |
| Sontax | my screen is 1280x800 | 11:23 |
| rudihawk | maybe its loading | 11:23 |

| allobjects | rudihawk: yes, I then tried to loging ssh from another machine so yes a while | 11:24 |
| khelll | git clone http://code.macournoyer.com/git/thin.git | 11:24 |
| hairulfr | Sontax: You need to manually edit your xorg.conf and add the resolutions your monitor supports | 11:24 |
| Sontax | how do i set my resolution to 1280x800 ? i cant go higher than 1024x768 now | 11:24 |
| khelll | would this command work ?? git ?? | 11:24 |
| PurpZeY | Can someone give me a hand with something, I think I need a symlink...I'm not entirely sure, I can explain what the goal is but I have no idea what te proper means are. | 11:24 |
| Quicksilva | khermans, i cant see anything in that directory? | 11:24 |
| hunchybunch | Sontax, and there isn't an option for that? if not, you may want to edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change it. | 11:24 |
| bidossessi | hairulfr, are you into command line or gui? if gui, i'd suggest deluge | 11:24 |
| Sontax | what and where do i need to add it | 11:24 |
| nila | guys i am not able to listen to songs on saudio-vedio streming sites, i can use my audio for listening to songs from the hard disk, could u help pls | 11:24 |
| bullgard4 | /etc/default/acpi-support includes the entry: "# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in the resume process: STOP_SERVICES='networking'." What 'networking' is meant here? Is it the file /etc/init.d/networking? | 11:25 |
| hairulfr | bidossessi: I'll try both :) Thanks | 11:25 |
| khermans | Sontax, sudo sed -i 's/"1024x768"/"1280x1024" "1024x768"/g' /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:25 |
| hunchybunch | Sontax, but maybe your video card cannot change to that resolution - i dont know anything about nvidia | 11:25 |
| bidossessi | hairulfr, get the .deb from their website | 11:25 |
| david919 | khermans: i take it you saw that? | 11:25 |
| khermans | david919, send me a link | 11:25 |

| khermans | WNxCryptic, i am unsure of that | 11:41 |
| nila | let me do that thanks, but would it help if i was fine without that till yesterday, it happnened all of a sudden | 11:41 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, it tells you | 11:41 |
| WNxCryptic | david919: not having your distro up to date is problematic in itself. | 11:41 |
| hunchybunch | nila, or maybe mozilla-mplayer? | 11:41 |

| khermans | WNxCryptic, aptitude show libapache2-mod-php5 | 11:41 |
| descent | Hello. Can you please help with such a little problem: i am trying out Linux Mint, and here the default compiz config differs a liitle from the usual ubuntu's one. When I press ctrl-alt-d the windows do not minimize, they move to the corners of the screen, and i don't really like this effect. I know i saw it in ubuntu earlier. Is there a way to make them really minimize?I am trying out Linux Mint, and here the default compiz config differs a liitle | 11:42 |

| PurpZeY | khermans: Ok, thanks. | 11:42 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans: is it possible to open another window of the console via SSH? | 11:42 |
| WNxCryptic | (like switching desktops) | 11:42 |
| david919 | WNxCryptic: yeh | 11:42 |
| khermans | ~screen | WNxCryptic | 11:42 |
| khermans | screen | WNxCryptic | 11:42 |
| khermans | !screen | WNxCryptic | 11:42 |
| ubotu | WNxCryptic: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 11:42 |
| khermans | jeez! | 11:42 |
| === Enkonto is now known as bektim | ||
| david919 | khermans ok its uptodate now | 11:42 |
| khermans | david919, try reboot and lets see! | 11:43 |
| PurpZeY | It will view the contents of that folder, correct? | 11:43 |
| khermans | pick new kernel | 11:43 |
| david919 | khermans ok hehe moment of truth i guess, so many times i have done this similar thing and it hasnt rebooted | 11:43 |
| eckesicle | Hey, is there a good test of Ubuntu vs Fedora somewhere? | 11:44 |
| descent | ubuntu is just better | 11:44 |
| WNxCryptic | eckesicle: depends on what distro you want / what you're past experience is with Fedora or Ubuntu | 11:45 |
| descent | you don't need to read tests for that ) | 11:45 |
| khermans | eckesicle, its all linux | 11:45 |
| descent | surer | 11:45 |
| toni_studiante | never tryed fedora | 11:45 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans: is there a simple way to look at what "apt-get install NAMEHERE" and/or "aptitude install NAMEHERE" will install, depending on what name I put in? | 11:45 |
| khermans | eckesicle, there are millions of comparisons | 11:45 |
| WNxCryptic | IE: GNU screen is called "screen" and I want to easily find out what | 11:45 |
| WNxCryptic | "sudo apt-get install screen" is going to do. | 11:46 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, aptitude install NAMEHERE --simulate | 11:46 |
| eckesicle | WNxCryptic, well I haven't run Fedora since it was called Red Hat. But I have alot of experience with nix. I'd just like to test around see if i like it. | 11:46 |
| ascent | What can he the reason that ubuntu by default ships with evolution and firefox, and not thunderbird and firefox? For it's PIM capabilities? | 11:46 |
| descent | does anyone know why Ubuntu crashes when i put the latest Nvidia drivers onthe latest kernel update? | 11:46 |
| bauer_ | where do output from crontab go | 11:46 |
| khermans | eckesicle, i think you will like it -- i have used every distro | 11:47 |
| WNxCryptic | eckesicle: if its just to play around with, why not spend some time with both? Just build a dev box and install one...spend some time on it, and then format/install the other distro? | 11:47 |
| WNxCryptic | Obviously everyone here prefers Ubuntu..but that's beside the point :) | 11:47 |
| eckesicle | but before i decide what to use i'd like to know what the general consensus is. How it compares to ubuntu. Looking for easy to use for my granny | 11:47 |
| khermans | eckesicle, gentoo was a long time fave of mine until ubuntu | 11:47 |
| david919 | khermans: ok i booted into the latest kernel i will check if the font problem remains | 11:47 |
| khermans | david919, cool | 11:47 |
| eckesicle | WNxCryptic, I am on ubuntu myself now. | 11:47 |
| WNxCryptic | kerhams: gentoo is still my favorite by far. | 11:47 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, i like gentoo as well | 11:47 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, but i dont like using gentoo when i need to get something done quikly | 11:47 |
| toni_studiante | when i do nmap behind my router i get nothing...what i should set? | 11:48 |
| descent | many peple say that LinuxMint is better, cause it is ubuntu, "how it should have been" | 11:48 |
| WNxCryptic | kerhams: its just way too difficult to unpackage and install the way it "should" be done. | 11:48 |
| eckesicle | khermans, yes i like gentoo but it is for a new computer we bought for our grandmother so it has to be easy. Which sortof rules out gentoo and others | 11:48 |
| khermans | toni_studiante, ?? | 11:48 |
| toni_studiante | khermans, scanning ip from the net i get no result even if they have :) | 11:48 |
| khermans | descent, no way it has the support that Canonical backs Ubuntu with | 11:48 |
| WNxCryptic | eckesicle: Fedora is a little more GUI friendly...but if this is for your Grandmother, why not go with a rediculously simple distro like Mandrake? | 11:48 |
| khermans | toni_studiante, dont be a pen tester behind a firewall | 11:49 |
| khermans | :-P | 11:49 |
| david919 | khermans: the slowness issue is solved | 11:49 |
| PurpZeY | This is the last I will ask on this question...I just want to verify I did this correctly...If I used the ln command properly, when a program goes to access the contents of the linked folder, it will look at the contents of the provided folder, correct? | 11:49 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans: is there a significant difference between apt-get and aptitude? | 11:49 |
| julian_ | hi, how can i find out if i have a seperate boot partition? | 11:49 |
| undenounced | !mount | 11:49 |
| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in !GNOME under !Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For !Edgy and later, see !fstab and !DiskMounter | 11:49 |
| khermans | david919, so we fixed it? | 11:49 |
| eckesicle | WNxCryptic, because mandrake is shit. (mandriva) | 11:49 |
| toni_studiante | khermans, i should check but what i need to open? | 11:49 |
| undenounced | !diskmounter | 11:49 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 11:49 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, yes | 11:49 |
| david919 | khermans: well the slowness is fixed but the font problem remains =( well i guess half the problem solved is better than nothing | 11:49 |
| Arelis | Hi, all. I'm switching to Windows.. sorry, i've had enough of Ubuntu, and it's tendency to make me work all day. Can i convert my /home partition into an NTFS partition? | 11:50 |
| descent | khermans, i personally use both. Used just Ubuntu before it refused to load with the latest videodrivers after a system update | 11:50 |
| eckesicle | WNxCryptic, (but mostly because I hate the logotype) | 11:50 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, i prefer aptitude -- vi vs emacs | 11:50 |
| WNxCryptic | eckesicle: well...its a fine line. Do you want something out-of-the-box friendly, or a OS that you actually have reasonable control over. | 11:50 |
| WNxCryptic | Arelis: no | 11:50 |
| khermans | david919, what is this "font" problem? | 11:50 |
| PurpZeY | khermans: Ok, I see the linked folder within the other folder...I'll cross my fingers...thanks for the help...I try to help around here in turn as much as I can...=) | 11:50 |
| khermans | david919, you mean in the terminal? | 11:50 |
| david919 | yeh | 11:50 |
| WNxCryptic | Arelis: NTFS and Fat32/Reiser are completely non-related formats. | 11:50 |
| david919 | khermans: yeh | 11:50 |
| khermans | david919, try this -- create a new user and login -- see if they have it too | 11:50 |
| shivy | morning | 11:50 |
| david919 | khermans: ok | 11:50 |
| khermans | david919, if not, it is something from you home dir | 11:50 |

| robdeman | hi all.. I am trying to restore a Trac .db file from a newver V0.10.4 to an older 0.9.6 version... do I need to convert the trac.db back to an older version? any help here? | 11:51 |
| ere4si | google is getting me nowhere - 4 cli only installs and each starts services after the login - so I can't access the system - how do I get around this? | 11:51 |
| khermans | shinygerbil, lsusb | 11:51 |
| PurpZeY | shivy: lsusb | 11:51 |
| shivy | Do I need special software to receive networks on it ? | 11:51 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: what program are you using? SSH?? | 11:51 |
| PurpZeY | shivy: It depends what it is. . . | 11:51 |
| khermans | rodpod, what is Trac -- wiki ? | 11:52 |
| khermans | rodpod, source repo? | 11:52 |
| eckesicle | WNxCryptic, also she does not speak english well so it all needs to be localized | 11:52 |
| shivy | its a Z-com wireless access point | 11:52 |
| khermans | shivy, dmesg | 11:52 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, haven't got an accessable install yet so haven't got as far as ssh | 11:52 |
| khermans | ere4si, ubuntu server | 11:53 |
| khermans | ? | 11:53 |
| lonejack | hi, somebody know how to check inadyn (if it is working or not)? | 11:53 |
| WNxCryptic | eckesicle: eckesicle jesus...the "best" choice is probably going to be Ubuntu..but I mean, unless she's 20 times more computer savvy than my parents are (let alone my grandparents) she's going to have trouble methinks. | 11:53 |
| nila | kherman i installed vlc | 11:53 |
| khermans | nila, not vlc | 11:53 |
| nila | still not working | 11:53 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: what's causing so many problems with installation? (sorry, I might not have gotten the whole story) | 11:53 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, that and ubuntu minimal - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD - do the same - and can't find a solution... | 11:53 |
| khermans | nila, i told you mozilla-plugin-vlc | 11:54 |
| robdeman | How can I install the latest stable TRAC on ubuntu 6.10? | 11:54 |
| khermans | robdeman, sudo aptitude install trac | 11:54 |
| nila | kherman it happenend when i installed volume monitor | 11:54 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, services start after the login prompt - so I can't login | 11:54 |
| khermans | nila, then remove it | 11:54 |
| nila | before that working fine | 11:54 |
| david919 | khermans: well i cant use the command that causes it on other uses because it says no interfaces ect ect, i would have to set up networking and all that crap itd take probably about an hr can we just assume its a problem for both users | 11:54 |
| khermans | nila, purge | 11:54 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: the mini packages can be problematic, you said you have tried an installation of, say... Ubuntu server 7.1 from the full image version?? | 11:54 |
| nila | what do u mean by ourge i a msorry i am not a computer techie | 11:55 |
| robdeman | khermans: that gives the v0.9.x series on Ubuntu 6.10 ... where I need Trac 0.10.xx | 11:55 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, tried minimal and alternate | 11:55 |
| khermans | david919, i am wondering if your shell gets messed up on loing | 11:55 |
| khermans | david919, creating a new user should not affect networking dude | 11:55 |
| khermans | david919, adduser foo | 11:55 |
| khermans | david919, logout, login | 11:55 |
| david919 | i just did it and i couldnt get internet | 11:55 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si sounds like a bad install (I JUST finished an install of Gutsy Gibbon and out-of-the-box w/ SSH installed I can SSH in with putty) | 11:55 |
| david919 | i looked in networking and eth0 wasnt there | 11:56 |
| khermans | david919, did you go into NetworkManager | 11:56 |
| david919 | yep | 11:56 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: but I can't say that with certainty, sorry mate. | 11:56 |
| david919 | and also metacity didnt load for some reason o.O | 11:56 |
| khermans | robdeman, gutsy has 0.10 | 11:56 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans might have better insight. | 11:56 |
| khermans | robdeman, if you want a "hack" install method -- you could install the gutsy package version | 11:56 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, two diff cd's - md5 checks ok... | 11:56 |
| khermans | david919, thats weird | 11:56 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: right | 11:57 |
| robdeman | khermans: Gutsy has trac 0.10..? | 11:57 |
| david919 | khermans: not really to me i spent months getting drivers working i wouldnt be supprised | 11:57 |
| khermans | robdeman, appears so | 11:57 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: so what all do you have installed thus far on the server? (SSH, Apache, etc.) | 11:57 |
| khermans | !info trac | robdeman | 11:57 |
| ubotu | robdeman: trac: Enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.4-2 (gutsy), package size 378 kB, installed size 2080 kB | 11:57 |
| andi5 | robdeman: trac 0.10.4-2 | 11:57 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, killed the services in rc2 and rebooted then new ones start after login | 11:57 |
| david919 | also only this user can access kismet.confs for some obsurd reason ive tried before | 11:57 |
| robdeman | khermans: right Gutsy = 7.10 .. you are correct. Im on I think Dapper (6.10) which has tra c0.9.x | 11:57 |
| khermans | david919, lol | 11:57 |
| khermans | david919, but drivers are not user-initiated | 11:57 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans: aptitude install screen --simulate only gives me the space and number of packages it would install...not the source or what the program "screen" is or does | 11:58 |
| robdeman | my problem: I need to downgrade to 0.9.x | 11:58 |
| robdeman | our sysadmin will only allow Ubuntu 6.10 | 11:58 |
| khermans | david919, is there a kismet group ? | 11:58 |
| david919 | khermans: ive tried and tried to modprobe bcm43xx on other Accounts it just doesnt work D: | 11:58 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, can't login normal user so haven't installed more than cli ubuntu | 11:58 |
| robdeman | we developped using 7.10 trac | 11:58 |
| khermans | robdeman, then install from source | 11:58 |
| robdeman | khermans: how hard will that be? | 11:58 |
| Crom | ciao | 11:58 |
| khermans | david919, only root can modprobe | 11:58 |
| PurpZeY | david919: I've had limited experience with those BCM chipsets, they are a bear | 11:58 |
| khermans | robdeman, for most people , not hard | 11:59 |
| david919 | yeh ive got it working fine PurpZeY but having some font problems now | 11:59 |
| khermans | robdeman, first time is interesting | 11:59 |
| PurpZeY | david919: Font problems...unique. | 11:59 |
| robdeman | khermans: mm | 11:59 |
| david919 | PurpZeY: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4083067#post4083067 | 11:59 |
| robdeman | khermsn: hopefully not too many dependancy stuff going wromg then | 11:59 |
| khermans | david919, you need to add the new user to the Admin group | 11:59 |
| david919 | ok i will try again khermans | 11:59 |
| khermans | you can do it in the gui | 11:59 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: when you installed from the 7.1 server image (the full 600 MB one) and you had the option of installing some of the server packages (like SSH) from the cd, did you use that? | 11:59 |
| khermans | robdeman, that could be an issue | 12:00 |
| khermans | robdeman, and why we all use repos :-) | 12:00 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans: aptitude install screen --simulate only gives me the space and number of packages it would install...not the source or what the program "screen" is or does | 12:00 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, apt-get source screen | 12:00 |
| Masqy | hi all, I am still not sure whether packet injection works or not. When I try "ifconfig wifi0 hw ether AA:...:BD" , I get an error SIOSCIFHWADDR. I use ipw3945 on Lenovo N100, with the ipwraw driver that comes with bt3 | 12:00 |
| Masqy | Any suggestions? | 12:00 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, aptitude show screen | 12:00 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, no - want only nfs for headless home server on old comp | 12:00 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, apt-cache policy screen | 12:00 |
| PurpZeY | david919: This is perfectly normal, your machine is entering the matrix. You took the wrong pill. | 12:00 |
| david919 | khermans: the only command that causes it so far is the sudo aireplay-ng command nothing else cauese it | 12:01 |
| david919 | PurpZeY: haha when i first saw it i was like crap i hacked myself... again | 12:01 |
| khermans | david919, command causes what? | 12:01 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: you want this as a local file server? are you intending to access it via FTP or what protocol? | 12:01 |
| khermans | david919, type reset in the terminal | 12:01 |
| david919 | khermans: i dont know how else to explain it, the jargon assed fonts eg ⎽┤␍⎺ ▒␋⎼␊⎻┌▒≤-┼± -1 0 -␊ ⎽610205 -▒ 00:0E:9B:43:### | 12:01 |
| khermans | david919, reset | 12:02 |
| david919 | and the terminal tab i initated the command in gets completly corrupted | 12:02 |
| david919 | k | 12:02 |
| khermans | david919, that happens because of output fromm program | 12:02 |
| david919 | khermans: reset fixes it | 12:02 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, nfs - ssh to control it | 12:02 |
| khermans | david919, you can force a weird eror like that many wats | 12:02 |
| david919 | but every time i run the command i get the same problem | 12:02 |
| khermans | david919, cat /dev/urandom | 12:02 |
| khermans | david919, :-) | 12:02 |
| toni_studiante | khermans, i do it sometimes | 12:02 |
| david919 | khermans while thats pretty and all =p | 12:02 |
| PurpZeY | khermans: Thanks for helping everyone....I do a mediocre job sometimes...But, you are doing a lot now, so, thanks from the community. | 12:03 |
| toni_studiante | but what does cat /dev/urandom /dev/dsp ? | 12:03 |
| khermans | david919, thats an issue witht he program,. not ubuntu -- and it has nothing to do with fonts | 12:03 |
| andi5 | khermans: man terminal survives that :) | 12:03 |
| andi5 | my, even | 12:03 |
| david919 | khermans: it was working perfectly until 1 week ago | 12:03 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, np dude | 12:03 |
| david919 | reinstall i guess | 12:03 |
| PurpZeY | david919: Look at what changes you've made in the last week | 12:03 |
| WNxCryptic | ere4si: log in locally on the system to setup the SSH and then setup NFS from there. If you can't get the NFS services running without logging in, its a configuration issue or its not possible w/ NFS> | 12:03 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, maybe i will bump into you guys at the next Ubuntu Live | 12:04 |
| khermans | i spoke there last year | 12:04 |
| david919 | PurpZeY: thats near impossible ive done so much crap but nothing i can think would have caused conflicts in other programs | 12:04 |
| khermans | Kristian Erik Hermansen | 12:04 |
| WNxCryptic | if - even after SSH is setup - the services are not starting unless you login...you have a configuration / installation issue with how you're putting SSH and NFS on the server. | 12:04 |
| khermans | david919, the program? | 12:04 |
| david919 | reinstalling the airtools ect will maybe help? | 12:04 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, how about /etc/rc.local ? | 12:04 |
| khermans | david919, it sounds like that program is broken | 12:05 |
| khermans | david919, are you ahcking wifi :-P | 12:05 |
| PurpZeY | khermans: At least I don't feel like an idiot for not knowing as much...=) | 12:05 |
| ere4si | WNxCryptic, can't log in normal user as services start after the login prompt - have to hard reboot into single user to kill services but then other ones start after normal user prompt - very frustrating... | 12:05 |
| david919 | khermans: yeah but my wifi and i was so successfull until right a week ago | 12:05 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, i just love the ubunut community | 12:06 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, everyone is nice! | 12:06 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, unlike #openbsd or sometimes #gentoo | 12:06 |
| Jowi | ere4si, what is your runlevel? | 12:06 |
| david919 | or #solaris | 12:06 |
| david919 | i will refrain from swearing | 12:07 |
| ere4si | Jowi: ubuntu defaults to rc2 | 12:07 |

| neopsyche | Hi, Xaw TV is working with picture .. but how do i get sound? | 12:07 |
| Jowi | ere4si, I know. which one does your "runlevel" report. | 12:07 |
| PriceChild | !offtopic | 12:07 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 12:07 |
| khermans | PurpZeY, :-) | 12:07 |
| PurpZeY | PriceChild: Point taken. | 12:08 |
| asc | I seem to have developed a problem in which the contents of /home/user are displayed on my desktop, instead of the contents of /home/user/Desktop. Does anybody know why this might be, or how how to fix it? | 12:08 |
| david919 | khermans: well reinstalling the program doesn't help, im going to cry my only amusment at airports | 12:08 |
| khermans | neopsyche, try mythtv ? | 12:08 |
| ere4si | Jowi: rc2 - kill the late starting services there then new ones start and stop me logging in | 12:08 |
| neopsyche | I dont really need myth tv as there is only one channel input | 12:08 |
| khermans | david919, is this from repos? | 12:08 |
| david919 | khermans: yeh | 12:09 |
| khermans | david919, you might file a bug | 12:09 |
| khermans | david919, or check lunchpad? | 12:09 |
| david919 | we know how that will end | 12:09 |
| khermans | david919, do you have a launchpad account? | 12:09 |
| andi5 | lunchbag? | 12:09 |
| khermans | lol | 12:09 |
| david919 | khermans: no i don't =( | 12:09 |
| khermans | !launchpad | david919 | 12:09 |

| bektim | Hi, pals! Is anybody know where i can get flash plugin 9,0,48,0 for opera? | 12:09 |
| david919 | what a pain in the damned ass | 12:09 |
| PurpZeY | !flash | bektim | 12:09 |
| ubotu | bektim: 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 | 12:09 |
| khermans | bektim, adobe.com! | 12:09 |
| 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. | 12:09 |
| khermans | bektim, isnt flash built in for opera? | 12:10 |
| PurpZeY | khermans: Presumably you know that flash is currently pfft. | 12:10 |
| x_zeuss | hello | 12:10 |
| x_zeuss | need some help pls | 12:10 |
| Smegzor | How do I remove items from the Places menu? I googled but I'm still clueless. | 12:10 |
| x_zeuss | whenever i try to burn a cd image *.iso with brasero it writes up to 45% then error | 12:10 |
| khermans | !ask | x_zeuss | 12:10 |
| ubotu | x_zeuss: 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. :-) | 12:10 |
| x_zeuss | this is with every iso i try | 12:10 |
| WNxCryptic | khermans: I have vsftpd server setup on a local development server. When I connect / login I'm fine, but when I try to upload a file I get a permission denied error. | 12:11 |
| x_zeuss | i know the cd-rw is ok because is i write with it from win it's ok | 12:11 |
| PurpZeY | x_zeuss: Have you tried different software or slower burn speeds? | 12:11 |
| x_zeuss | are there any special setting i must do? | 12:11 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, try k3b ? | 12:11 |
| x_zeuss | PurpZeY: yes, i tried with k3bb also | 12:11 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, or --> wodim foo.iso | 12:11 |
| Grammaticus | Does anyone in here have a dial-up connextion? | 12:11 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, could be bad media | 12:11 |
| Grammaticus | *connexion | 12:11 |
| x_zeuss | same thing with k3b | 12:11 |
| x_zeuss | tried 3 differend of blank cds | 12:12 |
| khermans | WNxCryptic, check dir permissions? | 12:12 |
| PurpZeY | x_zeuss: Maybe it's the ISO | 12:12 |
| mia | Hello, do I need a d in order for the "wireless lamp" on my laptop to be lit? | 12:12 |
| mia | d = driver | 12:12 |
| x_zeuss | i tried 3 different isos | 12:12 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, try wodim | 12:12 |
| PurpZeY | mia: Just for the light? | 12:12 |
| mia | PurpZeY: yeah | 12:12 |
| zhan_zr | WNxCryptic: have you edited the .conf | 12:12 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, or burner is broken? | 12:12 |
| x_zeuss | arklinux, pclinusos and ubuntu server | 12:12 |
| asc | Grammaticus: I used to... | 12:12 |
| WNxCryptic | zhan_zr: I edited it to deny anonymous logins, but I don't remember changing much else. | 12:13 |
| mia | PurpZeY: it can't find any wireless interfaces when I ifconfig, but I can't even get the lamp to be lit, even though I have the swithc on "on" | 12:13 |
| x_zeuss | khermans: i use it in win and it's ok, no prob | 12:13 |
| PurpZeY | mia: Some of those lights and things are controlled by acpi, or some small driver that's not worth bothering with....if it's just the light...I have a similar issue with a light on mine. | 12:13 |
| Grammaticus | asc, Do you know anything about connecting to Ubuntu with dial-up? It seems rather difficult... | 12:13 |
| Smegzor | Nevermind. Figured it out | 12:13 |
| x_zeuss | khermans: but i don't wanna use win | 12:13 |
| WNxCryptic | zhan_zr: the vsftpd doccumentation leaves something to be desired for newbs like me. | 12:13 |
| PurpZeY | mia: OH! Wait a second, the card doesn't work at all, it's not just the light | 12:13 |
| th0r | WNxCryptic there is quite a bit of info about vsftp on the web...try google | 12:13 |
| asc | Grammaticus: Connecting to ubuntu, or connecting ubuntu to the internet? | 12:13 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, i already told you about wodim | 12:13 |
| giffel3 | i need help with ubuntu 7.10 installer on a system with sata disks: grub-install fails, fatal error. Tried advanced-settings, (hd0), (hd0,4), /dev/sda, /dev/sda5. No luck. Tried find in grub at the terminal, it cant find e.g. stage1. Any ideas? | 12:14 |
| Grammaticus | asc, Connecting 'through' ubuntu rather -- to the internet. | 12:14 |
| x_zeuss | khermans: is that another burning soft? | 12:14 |
| th0r | WNxCryptic and as I recall, it pretty much works out of the box, you don't need to change much in the config | 12:14 |
| asc | Grammaticus: Is your modem internal? | 12:14 |
| khermans | giffel3, sudo grub | 12:14 |
| x_zeuss | khermans: what about gnomebaker? | 12:14 |
| x_zeuss | khermans: is that ok? | 12:14 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, might work | 12:14 |
| mia | PurpZeY: right, but I figured I should get the lamp to be lit before trying to get Linux to find a card at all | 12:14 |
| giffel3 | khermans, did sudo grub | 12:14 |
| zhan_zr | WNxCryptic: So it much likely to prevent you write the remote directory. | 12:14 |
| khermans | x_zeuss, wodim is command line | 12:14 |
| Grammaticus | asc, Yes -- it is on the mother-board. In fact, I am using a notebook PC. | 12:14 |
| PurpZeY | mia: Have you tried lspci just to see if it's there? | 12:14 |
| PurpZeY | mia: what card? | 12:15 |
| x_zeuss | khermans: i'll try wodim | 12:15 |
| khermans | giffel3, find /grub/stage1 | 12:15 |
| WNxCryptic | th0r: yes..that's what I thought too but I'm having permissions problems | 12:15 |

| khermans | giffel3, root (hd0,0) | 12:16 |
| khermans | giffel3, setup (hd0) | 12:16 |
| khermans | giffel3, quit | 12:16 |
| giffel3 | /dev/sda5 | 12:16 |
| mia | PurpZeY: I only have eth0 (whch I use now) and lo, both with "no wireless extensions" | 12:16 |
| khermans | giffel3, that is non-typical | 12:16 |
| WNxCryptic | zhan_zr: i just dont see anything that stands out as something in that .conf (I'm looking at it now) that would enable writing to the remote directory. | 12:17 |
| PurpZeY | mia: and ifconfig same deal? but it's in lspci ? | 12:17 |
| khermans | giffel3, i think you need /boot in primary partition | 12:17 |
| andi5 | giffel3: that is (hd0,4) | 12:17 |
| giffel3 | Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition | 12:17 |
| khermans | giffel3, but i have been wrong before | 12:17 |

| mia | PurpZeY: yeah | 12:17 |
| khermans | giffel3, then use andi5 grub command | 12:17 |
| WNxCryptic | zhan_zr: doh, might of found it. Is there a command to restart vsftpd without rebooting the box? | 12:17 |
| khermans | giffel3, root (hd0,4) | 12:17 |
| Grammaticus | asc, I haven't used Linux in 2 years -- I used to run RedHat and Mandrake -- never with dial-up. Therefore, my skill is not great. | 12:17 |
| EduardoSal | so pet | 12:17 |
| giffel3 | yes, i tried hd0,3 also | 12:18 |
| PurpZeY | mia: Hmmm...Have you looked at network manager? | 12:18 |
| giffel3 | ehm sorrz hd0,4 | 12:18 |
| andi5 | giffel3: sda is a complete hard disk, ... sda1-sda4 are the primary ones, if existant | 12:18 |
| khermans | giffel3, then you have issues | 12:18 |
| asc | Grammaticus: It's probably worth googling to see if there are Easy Newbie Directions. If there aren't, frustration is a given. | 12:18 |

| shivy | Hi again, Q: what is the name of that quite scalable docking panel you see everywhere (gnome) | 12:58 |
| olaff | hey all, how do i install a .run package? | 12:59 |
| Xavier_Z | shivy: avant-window-navigator, perhaps? | 12:59 |
| shivy | olaff make it executable then ./package.run | 12:59 |
| mavi- | olaff: probably just run it | 12:59 |
| shivy | I mean this MAC Os like docking panel | 13:00 |
| shivy | Where the Icons grow when you mouse-over | 13:00 |
| Xavier_Z | shivy: gdesklets? | 13:00 |
| shivy | the only thing I found was a gdesklet named startersbar | 13:00 |
| Xavier_Z | shivy: AWN has similar effects | 13:00 |
| === avile is now known as Avile | ||
| shivy | But I know there is a better package out there | 13:01 |
| shivy | just dont know the name | 13:01 |
| olaff | what chmod is executable? | 13:01 |
| shivy | its a pretty nifty app | 13:01 |
| shivy | chmod +x | 13:01 |
| Xavier_Z | shivy: does it require composite to run transparency? | 13:01 |
| shivy | chmod +x package.run | 13:01 |
| olaff | thanks | 13:01 |
| olaff | :) | 13:01 |
| shivy | Nope | 13:01 |
| B-rabbit | what is the advantages and draw backs for having a swap partition? ... is it really necessary to have one | 13:02 |
| olaff | its liking that shivy: cheers | 13:02 |
| th0r | shivy I have used wbar in ubuntu. I am looking at kiba-dock, but it doesn't seem to work | 13:02 |
| shivy | no i dont think so im running a xt1900 on dual monitors so me dont like composite | 13:02 |
| FrostRat | bullgard4: I believe the finger banner is just information on kernel.org to keep people up to date on kernel versions. | 13:02 |
| Xavier_Z | th0r: kibo-dock requires composite to work | 13:02 |
| shivy | yay ! :) i solved a problem today | 13:03 |
| olaff | so much to learn in such a short space of time! | 13:03 |
| th0r | Xavier_Z I had kind of concluded that...but their wiki doesn't offer much info | 13:03 |
| Enselic | oops I accidentally set a password for root, how do I set it to becomre random again? (like in a default install) | 13:03 |
| shivy | :-) | 13:03 |
| th0r | Enselic the password for root never was 'random'. | 13:04 |
| B-rabbit | Enselic, there is no default passwd for root | 13:04 |
| === simplechat is now known as penguincentral | ||
| bullgard4 | FrostRat: Thank you very much for explaining. | 13:04 |
| shivy | Enselic> passwd root or sudo passwd root | 13:04 |
| === penguincentral is now known as simplechat | ||
| Enselic | th0r: ok well how do I make the password go away then? | 13:04 |
| B-rabbit | Enselic, u just have to change the passwd again | 13:04 |
| th0r | Enselic if you set a password for root in ubuntu, it defines the root account just like other linux installs. I don't know of a way to eliminate it | 13:04 |
| Enselic | th0r: what? the root account already exists in a defaul install | 13:04 |
| th0r | Enselic you can change the password to match yours....that will return things to normal | 13:04 |
| olaff | HA | 13:04 |
| Enselic | th0r: no it won't.... I don't want root to have a password at all | 13:05 |
| Xavier_Z | Enselic: try somthing like sudo passwd -l | 13:05 |
| Xavier_Z | or sudo passwd -d | 13:05 |

| jetscreamer | depends | 13:10 |
| Enselic | Xavier_Z: thanks | 13:10 |

| andresmujica | andy1 which card do you have | 13:25 |
| krux0 | something like that | 13:25 |

| andy1 | its an Adaptec | 13:26 |

| Moult | hi | 13:28 |
| achbar | is it permanent? | 13:28 |
| B-rabbit | Moult, hi | 13:28 |
| krux0 | that's for temporary settings. as soon as you terminate or logout it will no longer search your specific path | 13:28 |
| Quicksilva | please can smeone help. why would a default xorg.conf file built with sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg not work. (xerver crashes on boot and doesnt load) | 13:28 |
| Moult | is there a way i can create a boot floppy disk for the linux console only? i have an ancient computer, and sometimes instead of waiting for the whole windows GUI to load i just want to go right into a linux console and do my editing there. is it possible? | 13:28 |
| achbar | where do I make it permanent? | 13:29 |
| alsadk10 | i can't use resize on partition editor y? | 13:29 |
| Quicksilva | thge only way for me to boot up is to completely delete xorg.conf | 13:29 |
| ajopaul | on gutsy why does it take so long (40 to 50 seconds)to load gnome after entering username in GDM screen, i use dell laptop with nvidia card | 13:29 |
| Poonan | xirc.net | 13:29 |
| Moult | i have got a windows boot floppy, but the DOS is very primitive...or i know very little about DOS | 13:29 |
| krux0 | achbar, to set it up permanently. edit your .bash_profile file | 13:29 |
| shnastybiznastic | so I just added a bunch of entries to my hosts file to be able to resolve some DNS troubles, but I can't locate the nscd script to restart all that mess within init.d | 13:30 |
| Xavier_Z | Quicksilva: did you choose the correct driver when prompted? | 13:30 |
| achbar | kay | 13:30 |
| shnastybiznastic | What do I need to restart to reload the hosts file? | 13:30 |
| Quicksilva | Xavier_Z, i use default for all | 13:31 |
| Quicksilva | I let it auto detect | 13:31 |
| Quicksilva | i think im using the open source ati driver | 13:32 |
| th0r | shnastybiznastic I don't think you need to restart anything...I think it is read every time it is needed | 13:32 |
| shnastybiznastic | th0r, okay, that's just counter to my other linux experience. | 13:33 |
| th0r | shnastybiznastic yeah...you would think there should be some magic incantation | 13:33 |
| Quicksilva | Xavier_Z, which one should i be selecting? I have a ti radeon 9600XT and i installed open source drivers | 13:33 |
| shnastybiznastic | well, on slack, debian and hat there is | 13:33 |
| krux0 | achbar, if it doesn't exist; create it | 13:34 |
| Xavier_Z | Quicksilva: i'm assuming that you've installed the binary driver, since the open source driver is installed by default on all ubuntu systems | 13:34 |
| th0r | shnastybiznastic for hosts? I think it is accessed first before a dns request is sent out...so it isn't cached anywhere | 13:34 |
| Sunhawk | t | 13:34 |
| Xavier_Z | Quicksilva: if that's the case, then you need to select the fglrx driver | 13:34 |
| shnastybiznastic | I might just be crazy then | 13:34 |
| th0r | shnastybiznastic testing...just a sec | 13:34 |
| Quicksilva | ok. will try that now. and see if it works | 13:35 |
| larson9999 | i'm having a brain and google freeze. where to you tell ff to report as ie? | 13:35 |

| th0r | shnastybiznastic I just added a name for my server to hosts and was able to ping the name....so no, no restart or reload necessary | 13:36 |
| shnastybiznastic | alright | 13:37 |
| Navlop | th0r how i'm loading server, no desktop or gui installed... | 13:37 |
| Xavier_Z | larson9999: try about:config > search useragent | 13:37 |

| Enselic | th0r: it's managed by NetworkManager | 13:47 |
| th0r | Enselic just a sec | 13:47 |
| iCEifer | th0r, I installed the dev and still get the same thing? | 13:48 |
| Hestv4 | krux0: even, "then nothing more" | 13:48 |
| Hestv4 | krux0: canon ixus 70... worked like a charm with old motherbord. usb shouldn't be that different? | 13:48 |
| th0r | Enselic not sure about network manager...but if you right click on it and check the interface properties, I think you will find a dropdown for the encryption | 13:49 |
| krux0 | Hestv4, I assume that is your dmesg outout | 13:49 |

| ubotu | The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 14:06 |
| larson9999 | Ropechoborra, i don't really know. i just use it when the normal one doesn't work. me personally, i think they should combine them somehow so that new people don't get turned off becuase the regular cd doesn't work for them. | 14:06 |
| Hestv4 | krux0: bluetooth on usb works.. seems to be umass related | 14:07 |
| Ropechoborra | larson9999 I think the alternate doesnt use the live cd and graphics so it avoids many problems.. Dont think there is a way to combine | 14:07 |
| th0r | Ropechoborra you are right...the alternate uses a text mode installer and is meant for expert installations, installations on machines with limited resources, etc | 14:08 |

| larson9999 | Ropechoborra, no, there's way's other distros do it. maybe it's not possible to do that and keep to one cd. i just think it makes sense to get more people working with the main cd. not a deal breaker for me. just my suggestion. | 14:08 |
| th0r | olaff you can add things to Places by adding Bookmarks in nautilus | 14:09 |
| sysKin | so I installed ubuntu with 'alternative' disk, and now my system is broken. "disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter" | 14:09 |
| sysKin | help? | 14:09 |
| Ropechoborra | Well im going to check that.. be right back | 14:09 |
| olaff | th0r: how do i do that? | 14:09 |
| puppetmaster | Hi Everyone | 14:09 |
| puppetmaster | My Arabic language is messed up how to do it right? | 14:10 |
| th0r | olaff open a folder in nautilus, then choose Bookmarks and Add a Bookmark. I don't use gnome so I am working from memory | 14:10 |
| olaff | ahh thanks th0r | 14:10 |
| th0r | puppetmaster mine is too...but my swedish and spanish aren't bad for an american | 14:10 |
| olaff | gotit | 14:10 |
| puppetmaster | So what is the solution? | 14:11 |
| olaff | how about making something start automatically with ubuntu? | 14:11 |
| puppetmaster | I succeeded to install it and I can write arabic | 14:11 |
| th0r | sysKin either you didn't install the boot loader or it installed incorrectly. Just a sec and I will pastebin what notes I have on restoring grub. | 14:11 |
| sysKin | th0r: it asked me to install grub and I agreed. there is a windows system installed as well (obviously now bricked) | 14:12 |
| puppetmaster | when I read any file it appears in some strang symbols | 14:12 |
| ere4si | olaff: apps-system-prefs-session-startup tab and then add the command | 14:13 |
| Darkmystere | Well i need help all the sudden my 10-1 key stopped working (i.e i cant type it) | 14:13 |
| th0r | sysKin do you have the windows install cd avaiable? | 14:13 |
| reza | test | 14:13 |
| Darkmystere | i need it because alot of my passwords ect use the number 8+1= | 14:13 |
| Darkmystere | can some 1 help | 14:13 |
| sysKin | th0r: yes. should I do the usual fixboot/fixmbr? I need linux :) | 14:13 |
| olaff | ahh haa thanks ere4si | 14:14 |
| Darkmystere | i see the blinking key when i press it and i can do the Shift+(8+1 key) | 14:14 |
| Darkmystere | and get ) | 14:14 |
| ere4si | k | 14:14 |
| Darkmystere | ( | 14:14 |
| Moult | can anybody here suggest a linux distro that can fit on a floppy just for me to run the linux console? | 14:14 |
| th0r | sysKin well...I have some notes on restoring grub, and some on adding windows to the grub menu if you want to go that way. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50961/ | 14:14 |
| Darkmystere | Maybe BackTrack Or Kubuntu | 14:14 |
| sysKin | thanks th0r | 14:14 |
| th0r | sysKin be aware some of those notes are for suse, but there are good notes on ubuntu as well. | 14:14 |
| Darkmystere | anyone help? | 14:15 |
| Dave-Id | could someone suggest a channel for wireless help? | 14:15 |
| th0r | sysKin and if you want to restore windows with fixmbr and then go from there....it should be possible to reinstall grub after without reinstalling everything | 14:15 |
| Darkmystere | #madwifi? | 14:15 |
| Dave-Id | thanks Darkmystere but that channel is empty | 14:16 |
| Ximal | Crocd : did u ever get that working yesterday? | 14:16 |
| Ximal | crocd : sir ? | 14:16 |
| th0r | Dave-Id if you would ask the question maybe someone here could help | 14:16 |
| valent | ytyyy | 14:16 |
| Ropechoborra | Well, downloading the Alternate cd :) | 14:16 |
| Darkmystere | Dave: lol sorry i thought it would have some 1 in it by now they didnt help me either i stayed for 3hours no luck -.- i cant beileave there wher 500+ idle people there | 14:16 |
| JakeGreen | hello | 14:17 |
| Dave-Id | okay th0r, as far as I can tell I need ndiswrapper to make my wireless work on ubuntu live cd....but i can't even find my driver....so I was just looking for a new source of info other than the ubuntu help files because they just keep taking me in cirlces | 14:17 |
| Dave-Id | perhaps there is another good info site? | 14:18 |
| FrostRat | Moult: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Distributions/Floppy/ | 14:18 |
| Darkmystere | lol dave Id Maybe Trey #wireless lol | 14:18 |
| Ximal | No dave u don't ;) | 14:18 |
| Dave-Id | thanks Darkmystere | 14:18 |
| FrostRat | Moult: can't recommend any, since I've never used a floppy-based distro, but that should give you a place to start | 14:18 |
| Ximal | U need wl-apsta.o | 14:18 |
| th0r | Dave-Id there should be some good info on ndiswrapper. The drivers you need are the windows drivers for your wifi, and those should be easily downloaded from the web. | 14:18 |
| Ropechoborra | Dave-Id without the device driver i dont think you could do much =/ | 14:18 |
| Ximal | would you like me to make it available to you sir ? | 14:18 |
| astro76 | Dave-Id: if you really need ndiswrapper, it uses the windows driver... but you should ask your question here | 14:19 |
| Darkmystere | Dave-Id Lol your Welcome i found it using the search for text interface int he channel thing | 14:19 |
| IdleOne | Dave-Id: you will find the drivers for your hardware on the website of the manufacturer | 14:19 |
| FrostRat | Moult: You'd have a bigger selection if you chose to put linux onto a thumbdrive :) | 14:19 |
| Ximal | Dave-ID ... what type of pc do u have sir ? | 14:19 |
| Dave-Id | what is wl-apsta.o? | 14:19 |
| Dave-Id | dell laptop | 14:19 |
| Dave-Id | inspiron 1300 | 14:20 |
| Ximal | k.. let's go from there sir.. | 14:20 |
| Moult | FrostRat: i downloaded tomstrbt, but it's 2.4mb, i only have a 1.38mb floppy | 14:20 |
| Ximal | Broadcomm chipset ? internal mini or usb external sir ? | 14:20 |
| astro76 | it just says it's not suggested or supported ;) | 14:20 |
| n1mda | hi guys... It seems like I'm missing "build" in my kernel: Makefile.inc:66: *** /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-rt/build is missing, please set KERNELPATH. Stop. - How would I add this? | 14:20 |
| Dave-Id | broadcomm | 14:20 |
| Darkmystere | Well i need help with Madwifi I can get into Monitor mode But Airodump-ng shows no Access Points | 14:20 |
| Dave-Id | at least that's what show in hardware | 14:20 |
| Ximal | Ok... live cd doesn't let u make permanant changes .. Uhave to have ubuntu installed sir.. | 14:20 |
| th0r | n1mda did you install the kernel sources? | 14:20 |
| FrostRat | Moult: I'm sure you'll be able to find something that'll just fit... I guarantee that somebody out there has wanted to do that as well. :D | 14:21 |
| Dave-Id | fair enough | 14:21 |
| Ximal | Lemme put the wl-apsta.o driver i use for mine... ok ? on my http server | 14:21 |
| n1mda | th0r: no... are they in the normal repo? | 14:21 |
| Dave-Id | maybe i'll have to install it then | 14:21 |
| Ximal | from there you might be able to use it .. to enable ur wireless.. it's what makes mine run.. | 14:21 |
| th0r | n1mda I believe they are...give it a try | 14:21 |
| Dave-Id | is it something i could d/l in windoze then use from the live cd? | 14:21 |
| Darkmystere | David-Id Usually if ur Adapter is Compatible | 14:22 |
| Darkmystere | it automaticly lets u use wireless with the restricted driver | 14:22 |
| Ximal | yes.. | 14:22 |
| maurice_ | bonjour | 14:22 |
| Ximal | im enabling it for you dave-id it's a driver i use.. 1 moment m8 | 14:22 |
| n1mda | th0r: That fixed it :) Wonders! | 14:23 |

| Darkmystere | Can some 1 help me? | 14:26 |
| silverphoenix | hello, i want know if yast4debian is compatible with ubuntu? (note that the way to install is adding a repository) | 14:26 |
| emma | Last night I wanted to make my new mouse work. some people in here gave me a link to a page that showed how to edit some x11 file.. Xconf or something? I did that. When I retarted the computer, it said that x was not configured right. It all crashed. | 14:26 |
| Dave-Id | sorry Darkmystere i'd help if i knew anything | 14:26 |
| Ximal | david-id ; http://68.63.254.236 from there youwill see the file wl-apsta.o | 14:27 |
| th0r | Darkmystere what exactly do you need? | 14:27 |
| drcode | hi al | 14:27 |
| drcode | all | 14:27 |
| Ximal | let me know if u are able to access it.. if not .. I will enable the port on my router.. for u | 14:27 |
| drcode | ubuntu 6.0.6 equal to fedora 7 or 6? | 14:27 |
| Dave-Id | k...thanks | 14:27 |
| emma | I couldn't even start Ubuntu. So I thought I had to boot into Microsoft to come on here for help. So I tried that and it said xp needed to restore. So I did that. And then it reinstalled xp. And now it doesn't even go to grub | 14:27 |
| astro76 | !xconfig | emma you can use this to fix it | 14:27 |
| ubotu | emma you can use this to fix it: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 14:27 |
| drcode | I mean pkg in fedora 6 or 7 can work under ubuntu 6.0.6? | 14:27 |
| Moniker42 | everyone here likes to boot into microsoft now and again emma... | 14:27 |
| th0r | emma the file was probably xorg.conf and it appears you might have not editied it correctly. Did you by any chance make a backup of the file before you changed it? | 14:27 |
| rapha | Hi all! | 14:27 |
| rapha | What package do I get the command "htpasswd" from? | 14:28 |
| Dave-Id | page cannot be displayed | 14:28 |
| Ximal | ok 1 oment.. | 14:28 |
| astro76 | emma: :( | 14:28 |
| Ximal | setting myself as dmz ;) | 14:28 |
| astro76 | !fixgrub | emma | 14:28 |
| ubotu | emma: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:28 |
| Ximal | ok | 14:28 |
| Ximal | try now david | 14:28 |
| Dave-Id | k | 14:28 |
| astro76 | rapha: probably apache, type the command in a terminal, and it will tell you what to install | 14:28 |
| emma | th0r yes sort of. I cut and paste the part I changed into a different file and saved it on the desktop. | 14:28 |
| Ximal | it should be up and running for u sir.. | 14:28 |
| allobjects | how does one move a users home directory from one machine to another ? | 14:28 |
| th0r | emma nope...fixgrub won't help. If you reinstalled windows it probably reformatted the drive and you lost ubuntu. | 14:28 |
| Dave-Id | says i don't have permission to access this file | 14:29 |
| rapha | astro76: It says "command not found". | 14:29 |
| Dave-Id | but the page shows | 14:29 |
| Ximal | right click and save it.... | 14:29 |
| rapha | astro76: Could you try for me pls? | 14:29 |
| astro76 | rapha: what version of Ubuntu are you running? | 14:29 |
| emma | th0r -- But it doesn't seem like it was a reformat because my files that I had in windows are still here in xp. | 14:29 |
| rapha | astro76: Dapper Drake (it's a server) | 14:29 |
| rapha | astro76: But I'm using lighttpd, so that's why I probably don't have it. | 14:29 |
| th0r | emma ok...then you might still have ubuntu as well | 14:29 |
| astro76 | rapha: ah guess they didn't have that feature then... htpasswd is in: mini-httpd, thttpd-util, and apache2-utils | 14:29 |
| th0r | emma you can get into windows just fine now, right? | 14:29 |
| emma | Yeah | 14:30 |
| rapha | Thanks astro76! | 14:30 |
| emma | I'm in windows right now. | 14:30 |
| th0r | emma ok....jeez...I just had that pastebin <smile>....just a sec...I will get you the info you need. | 14:30 |
| emma | It lost my wall paper but stuff I oridinally had on the desktop and programs are all still here. | 14:30 |
| Dave-Id | i dunno...brings up a pop up saying internet explorer isn't able to access this file or the page is unavailable | 14:30 |
| hcbox | is there another tool like ntsfix to repair a ntfs disk ? | 14:30 |
| hk2999 | i don't get the area of the circle | 14:30 |
| th0r | emma hang on.... | 14:30 |
| drcode | what ver of fedora equal to ubuntu 6.06? | 14:30 |
| astro76 | emma: I think the fixgrub should work, because I am guessing this "repair" process also "fixed" the mbr ;) | 14:30 |
| minh | minh | 14:30 |
| Dave-Id | but now that i know the name of the file i'm sure i could find it | 14:30 |
| Dave-Id | thanks Ximal | 14:30 |
| Ximal | not really dave-id .. u will need it to enable the wireless restricted driver upon installation | 14:31 |
| minh | i want to connect hacker | 14:31 |
| emma | It was horrible. I didn't think that some problem with xconfig in ubuntu would make windows think it needed to 'repair'.. :| | 14:31 |
| Ximal | here ... email me and i will send you the file if u want ... | 14:31 |
| Ximal | use the address I sent you in pm | 14:32 |
| allobjects | What is the best way to copy a users home directory from one machine to another ? Both machines are on the network | 14:32 |
| emma | What happened was I got this new mouse and I wanted to make all of its buttons work. So I followed this link and I made changes to a file called x11/xconf(or something like that) I just cut and paste what was on the link. But I also cut and paste what I was replacing into a different file. | 14:32 |
| th0r | emma shouldn't have....not sure what has happened. But I am working on the assumption it was just an X problem. So first step will be to restore grub so you can try to boot into ubuntu. | 14:33 |
| th0r | emma let me know when you are ready | 14:33 |
| emma | Then when I restart the computer it said it could not start x. | 14:33 |
| astro76 | allobjects, something like: scp -pr ~/ user@machine:~/ | 14:33 |
| emma | I'm ready! and thank you! | 14:33 |
| Dave-Id | is it something i'll be able to figure out? | 14:33 |
| Ximal | the email ? | 14:33 |
| th0r | emma do you have the ubuntu install cd? | 14:33 |
| Dave-Id | sorry...no the install | 14:33 |
| Dave-Id | is it something straight forward | 14:34 |
| th0r | emma jeez...just realized you won't be online for this.... | 14:34 |
| Ximal | yes.. more forward than most linux installs | 14:34 |
| th0r | emma that is going to be a problem. let me think this through <smile> | 14:34 |
| Dave-Id | cool thanks | 14:34 |
| Ximal | did you get my pm dave-id with the email address ? | 14:34 |
| astro76 | allobjects, or more generically: scp -pr /home/sourceuser someuser@somemachine:/home/destinationuser | 14:34 |
| allobjects | astro76: since the user on the new machine is likely to have different user number and group number, will that cause a problem ? | 14:34 |
| Dave-Id | yes....i emailed you | 14:34 |
| Dave-Id | thanks | 14:34 |
| Ximal | 1 moment then sir. | 14:34 |
| hairulfr | emma _ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserv-xorg? | 14:34 |
| hcbox | i also go fuse: failed to access mountpoin when i try to mount the hdd | 14:34 |
| hairulfr | *xserver | 14:35 |
| astro76 | allobjects: you might have to fix that with a chmod, correct | 14:35 |
| olaff | anyone got 3d max running on ubuntu yet? | 14:35 |
| allobjects | astro76: is there a way to list current numbers ? | 14:35 |
| emma | hairulfr how can I type that if I can't get into Ubuntu? | 14:35 |
| astro76 | allobjects: another good way is to use tar, it will extract with the proper user on the second machine | 14:36 |
| emma | I'm trying to find the ubuntu install CD. If I can't find that then what? | 14:36 |
| astro76 | allobjects: it's in /etc/passwd | 14:36 |
| hairulfr | emma: use another screen, i.e ctrl + alt + f2 | 14:36 |
| th0r | emma did you have anything important in ubuntu? I think your best bet at this point is going to be to reinstall ubuntu. | 14:36 |
| th0r | hairulfr she lost the boot loader....can only get into windows at this point | 14:36 |
| emma | Okay give me 2 minutes to look for the install CD... | 14:37 |
| hairulfr | th0r, emma, ahh :) Ok, you could download the gparted super grub disk, | 14:37 |
| allobjects | astro76: thanks will lookup how to use tar and thanks for the /etc/passwd hint | 14:37 |
| hairulfr | I've fixed tons of broken grubs with that | 14:37 |
| hairulfr | but gotta be careful though | 14:37 |
| Enselic | In a vanilla Ubuntu install, is there a way to log in remotely to the machine? | 14:37 |
| hairulfr | Enselic: Yes | 14:37 |
| th0r | emma it should be possible to restore grub if you need things off the ubuntu partition, but since you can't be online while working on it...it could get confusing for you | 14:38 |
| th0r | Enselic several...check searcher.myvnc.com/geek | 14:38 |
| th0r | Enselic vnc and X forwarding via ssh are available in the default install...but NX works much better | 14:39 |
| Ximal | ok dave-id ... it's sent sir.. | 14:39 |
| astro76 | Enselic: hmm only vino (gnome built in vnc server) by default as far as I'm aware... you can install openssh-server for ssh/sftp | 14:39 |
| turbocueca | Can someone tell me a away to update a pendrive free space? | 14:39 |
| Darkmystere__ | sorry internet... | 14:39 |
| iCEifer | if my windows partition is corrupted and I wish to install windows again I think it will overwrite the grub boot loader and I would like the loader to stay the way it is even after I reinstall windows in the ntfs partition. how can I prevent the boot loader from disappering due to the XP install? | 14:39 |
| turbocueca | My pendrive is empty and says 150mb used | 14:39 |
| Enselic | th0r: I meant in an untouched vanilla install | 14:39 |
| th0r | turbocueca if you just want to know the freespace I think df will do it for you | 14:39 |
| Ximal | you can email me if u need basic help dave-id anytime.. | 14:39 |
| Darkmystere__ | ok i cannot get airodump-ng to show Acess Points | 14:39 |
| astro76 | iCEifer: you can't prevent it, but to make it easier to repair you could backup your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 14:39 |
| gaff_3 | iCEifer: best bet is to install windows, then boot off the ubuntu cd and reinstall grub | 14:40 |
| hairulfr | iCEifer: You can't, but you can restore your grub, Grub install /dev/sda whatever, something like that :) | 14:40 |
| turbocueca | It is really empty, this has been occuring on my system with different devices, there aren't any hidden files either | 14:40 |
| Enselic | th0r: I am concereted wether the mom of a friend of mine is in risk if she has a weak password | 14:40 |
| th0r | Enselic yes...the only thing not in an untouched vanilla install is NX...I believe vnc is there, and know ssh and X forwarding are available | 14:40 |
| astro76 | iCEifer: ignore me, no reason to back it up | 14:40 |
| turbocueca | th0r, nope, I know the free space, but the system won't let me move a file because it says the pen doesn't have the capacity required | 14:40 |
| iCEifer | gaff_3, so install xp, boot live ubuntu and just install grub? | 14:40 |
| iCEifer | astro76, done :) | 14:40 |
| emma | I don't have the ubuntu install CD anymore | 14:40 |
| Enselic | th0r: yeah but I need to enable X forwarding first, right | 14:40 |
| turbocueca | th0r, because on df or nautilus it says 150mb used, though it is empty | 14:40 |
| emma | But I can get online here with Windows. is it online some place? | 14:40 |
| Enselic | th0r: that's what I mea | 14:40 |
| th0r | Enselic I think X forwarding is enabled by default now. jeez | 14:41 |
| gaff_3 | iCEifer: yup. It's not a trivial option, I suggest you practice installing grub somehow | 14:41 |
| turbocueca | th0r, are you tho1? | 14:41 |
| astro76 | th0r: Enselic: an ssh server is most definitely not installed by default in Ubuntu | 14:41 |
| th0r | turbocueca sometimes, depends on whether another thor was logged on at the time | 14:41 |
| hairulfr | emma: Is what online? | 14:41 |
| Dave-Id | k...going to reboot with the live cd....hopefully see you soon...thank Ximal | 14:41 |
| puxel | No applications are showing up on the menubar | 14:41 |
| Enselic | astro76: openssh-server is not installed in a default install, that I know for sure | 14:41 |
| Darkmystere__ | th0r sorry internet probs but anyways i can get adapter to monitor mode but airodump shows no access points | 14:41 |
| gaff_3 | iCEifer: You can probably use the ubuntu CD to boot off your linux partition as well, work out how to do that incase you screw up ;) | 14:42 |
| emma | hair - the ubuntu install CD | 14:42 |
| iCEifer | gaff_3, where can I learn how to do this once I boot live? | 14:42 |
| turbocueca | th0r, did you help someone with a bcm43xx on some days ago? | 14:42 |
| robdeman__ | folks i installed trac using 'python ./setup.py install' ... can I also remove it in a similar way? | 14:42 |
| emma | th0r I don't have the ubuntu install CD :( is it maybe online ? | 14:42 |
| Enselic | astro76: I wondering if there are other securty concerns I should be aware about | 14:42 |
| th0r | astro76 are you sure? I thought they had started including it | 14:42 |
| gaff_3 | Does anyone know how to manually generate a CD TOC file? | 14:42 |
| astro76 | !info openssh-server | 14:42 |
| olaff | is there a good torrent prog around? | 14:42 |
| ubotu | openssh-server: secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.6p1-5build1 (gutsy), package size 241 kB, installed size 640 kB | 14:42 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| astro76 | th0r: still optional ;) | 14:42 |
| hairulfr | emma: Ah, yeah, tons of places, probably best get it of mininova.org or somewhere for spped, or you could get some light distro, that contains the "commands" you need to restore your bootloader, if you don't have a fast connection | 14:43 |
| th0r | emma you can download it and burn another....but that will take some time <smile> | 14:43 |

| emma | I have a little time.. | 14:43 |
| articpenguin3800 | how do i enable extented user attributes in ext3 | 14:43 |
| gaff_3 | iCEifer: you're stretching my knowledge a bit I'm afraid. I think from the CD boot menu you can get it to boot from a hard drive. | 14:43 |
| turbocueca | th0r, in what concercs disk use etc | 14:43 |
| th0r | turbocueca what device? | 14:43 |
| astro76 | Enselic: here's a short guide on securing ssh if that's what you mean http://fosswire.com/2008/01/02/bullet-proof-your-server-2-ssh/ | 14:43 |
| turbocueca | th0r, my pen for example, it is wrongly saying 150mb used | 14:44 |
| emma | thor -- I don't need all of Ubuntu any way do I? | 14:44 |
| hairulfr | emma: Your grub farked or is it something else? | 14:44 |
| emma | I just need to get back to Ubuntu | 14:44 |
| th0r | turbocueca ah...the usb drive...I have had that problem, and never found a good solution | 14:44 |
| olaff | is there a ubuntu equivalent of atl+tab in windows? | 14:44 |
| turbocueca | th0r, there should be a file.. | 14:44 |
| Darkmystere__ | Well i keep gettin an error when i try and download the backtrack live cd .torrent file it has an error connecting to ppers but when i use a torrent off my windows partion that i mounted it finishes the file | 14:44 |
| astro76 | Enselic: otherwise it is secure out of the box if you don't install servers ;) | 14:44 |
| Darkmystere__ | no problem | 14:44 |
| th0r | emma you need to be able to boot into linux...I will pastebin my notes on restoring grub, but you will see you will need the cd | 14:44 |
| Enselic | astro76: that's what I wanted to hear, thanks :) | 14:44 |
| allobjects | astro76: what about using rsync ? | 14:45 |
| hairulfr | olaff: YEs, alt tab .super + tab | 14:45 |
| emma | hairulfr I edited x11/xconf (or something like that) to make my new mouse work, and when I restarted it said X could not start and it just hung, so I switched to windows to come on here for help, but then windows thought it needed a system repair so it went through the process of reinstalling xp, and here I am. with no dual boot. | 14:45 |
| hairulfr | emma: Ah, ok, give me a scond, I'll try locating what you need to redo the bootloader, | 14:45 |
| olaff | oic hairulfr: :) | 14:45 |
| th0r | emma http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ Take note that some of that is for suse, and some for ubuntu. But it does a good job of showing how to restore the boot loader if you can boot the cd | 14:45 |
| * tentatrice snickers | 14:45 | |
| astro76 | allobjects: would work... it's more focused to the situation where you need to mirror something, because it will only send the changes | 14:46 |
| emma | th0r okay | 14:46 |
| robdeman__ | anybody? I manually installed trac... but how to remove it now? | 14:46 |
| Darkmystere__ | try recovery mode and do dpkg x-server x.org.conf | 14:46 |
| taurusivy | can i use two different partition of the hard drive as swap? since i just add some sdram to my dapper server. | 14:46 |
| rapha | bye | 14:46 |
| puxel | Excuse me. I'm running Kubuntu 7.04 I believe, and Ive got a minor problem. None of the applications that are running appear on the bottom panel like they usually do. I can access them through the top panel's "Windows" tab, but I was wondering if anyone could help. | 14:46 |
| olaff | sometimes when installing stuff, it doesnt bring up the authentication window, and so hangs... anyone else experienced this? | 14:46 |
| emma | I clicked on the link and it kicked me out of the channel. | 14:46 |
| allobjects | astro76: but would it avoid having to chmod stuff afterwards ? | 14:46 |
| emma | th0r could you repaste that link? | 14:46 |
| th0r | turbocueca are you sure there isn't a hidden file in that drive? go to /media/<usbdrive> in a terminal and type 'ls -al' to see what exactly is there | 14:46 |
| th0r | emma http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ | 14:47 |
| olaff | the only way i can get round it is it kill the process | 14:47 |
| hairulfr | emma: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/?section=download this is a super grub disk, but if you choose to use it, read the instructions. This will let you restore grub. When you have a terminal, which i hope you will when ubuntu boots, then reconfigure xserver | 14:47 |
| th0r | emma so long as you DO NOT format the whole drive, you should always be able to do the fixmbr thing to restore windows and start again | 14:47 |
| Darkmystere__ | try synaptics | 14:48 |
| Darkmystere__ | and look for trac Rodbman | 14:48 |
| hairulfr | th0r: Yeah, this one: Fixboot c:, fixmbr, bootcfg /rebuild? | 14:48 |
| olaff | is there a way to bring up running processes in gnome instead of using terminal? | 14:48 |
| turbocueca | th0r, hmm total 6 | 14:48 |
| Darkmystere__ | yea | 14:48 |
| Luchohhh | hi | 14:48 |
| turbocueca | th0r, but no names.. | 14:49 |
| Darkmystere__ | press ALT+F2 olaff and then type: gnome-system-monitor | 14:49 |
| hairulfr | olaff: Yes, sessions, system, preferences, sessions. | 14:49 |
| turbocueca | th0r, how do I delete things without name? | 14:49 |
| emma | ugh.. im really sorry | 14:49 |
| Darkmystere__ | And vralla a Win32 TaskManager GUI | 14:49 |
| emma | when i click on the link it kicks me from the channel. | 14:49 |
| emma | could you please repaste the link once more. I'll write it down by hand. | 14:50 |
| olaff | ahh nice one darkmystere: thanks | 14:50 |
| hairulfr | emma: Weird, just google super grub disk | 14:50 |
| th0r | turbocueca yeah...that's a very good question....did you plug that drive into a windows computer at some point? <smile>. If you have nothing important on that drive, try 'rm *' and see if they go away | 14:50 |
| robdeman__ | can I install the apt-get version of trac just over the manually installed version? | 14:50 |
| hairulfr | emma: There are quite a lot to choose from, from cd images to floppy images | 14:50 |
| === robdeman__ is now known as robdeman | ||
| FrostRat | emma: for next time, always remember to make a backup of configuration files before modifying them (I don't always take my own advice and regret it!) :) | 14:50 |
| turbocueca | th0r, yes I plugged in | 14:50 |
| turbocueca | th0r, says it doesnt' exist | 14:51 |
| turbocueca | th0r, and rm -rf * doesn't delete that | 14:51 |
| emma | Th0r could you repaste that link once more? | 14:51 |
| th0r | turbocueca there should be two files I believe, called "." and ".." but you should be able to delete everything else. | 14:51 |
| hairulfr | (16:47:05) th0r: emma http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ | 14:52 |
| th0r | emma the pastebin? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50963/ | 14:52 |
| hairulfr | haha | 14:52 |
| th0r | hairulfr thanks for that supergrub link....learn something new every day <smile> | 14:52 |
| turbocueca | th0r, oh omg such an idiot, yes it is . and .. | 14:52 |
| hairulfr | th0r: :) No problem, it's a good one having lying around, for when you mess up | 14:52 |
| turbocueca | th0r, yes it is empty | 14:53 |
| th0r | turbocueca if it is empty then the free space should be good now? | 14:53 |
| th0r | hairulfr course...I no longer mess up <smile> | 14:54 |
| astro76 | allobjects: I think so... you could just: tar cvf --preserve file.tar /home/sourceuser && scp file.tar user@machine:~/, then extract it on the other machine with tar xvf user@machine | 14:54 |
| turbocueca | th0r, no | 14:54 |
| turbocueca | th0r, the drive was empty already | 14:54 |
| emma | th0r: It says that adress can not be found | 14:54 |
| astro76 | allobjects: I know you can do that all in one command from the source machine but I don't feel like figuring that out now ;) | 14:54 |
| turbocueca | th0r, but the free space is wrong, and so it won't let me move a file bigger then the free space | 14:54 |
| astro76 | allobjects: err, to extract it is tar xvf file.tar | 14:55 |
| th0r | emma I just refreshed it. You seem to have some problems going on with firefox | 14:55 |
| xomp | could anyone here assist with VPN on ubuntu? I'm unable to connect to my work VPN for some reason. Continually getting "Remote peer is no longer responding" errors when trying to connect. | 14:56 |

| XBehave | i have a usb wifi donge what are my chances of getting it working? | 14:59 |
| th0r | turbocueca what is it? tell me the name so I can work some commands | 15:00 |
| emma | yes that worked thanks! | 15:00 |
| xomp | hairulfr, the only thing I'm seeing installed is something called "Devices - Network Tools" that wouldn't be it would it? Maybe I need to get these packages you speak of installed? | 15:00 |
| turbocueca | th0r /media/tomcode | 15:00 |
| th0r | turbocueca just a sec....going for a usb drive | 15:00 |
| turbocueca | th0r tomcode is uppercase but for some reason i cant write upper case here | 15:00 |
| Nerous | can anyone tell me how to get movies to work | 15:00 |
| hairulfr | xomp: Yes, I think you need those. I've had some problems connection to vpns as well, but the problems seem random and not consistent. | 15:00 |
| Nerous | totem says that i dont have any plugins | 15:00 |
| xomp | hairulfr, thanks a ton :) I'll give those a shot. | 15:01 |
| emma | Okay this isn't going to work. I don't know how to do that mounting stuff. | 15:01 |
| hairulfr | xomp: No problem, just right click the network-manager icon and add vpn, it'll start a guide-thing | 15:01 |
| emma | I have another idea.. You know how when I was in Ubuntu I could access files in Windows? Is there a way I can access files in Ubuntu? Then I could just save important documents and do a complete reinstall of Ubuntu | 15:02 |
| hairulfr | xomp: Left click, i mean, waFTER you install packages | 15:02 |
| hairulfr | emma: Yes, totalcommander has a plugin that let's you read ext3 ext2 and the like, possibly there are others | 15:02 |
| th0r | turbocueca if you type 'du /media/TOMCODE' in the terminal, all it says is '2'? | 15:02 |
| kbrooks | emma, you can learn how, but yes there is | 15:02 |

| hairulfr | emma: You could just install a new root partition and chose not to format your home partition, settings and files are saved.... Yes, the barnes thing should work | 15:10 |
| th0r | emma should work...make sure the disk is there <smile> | 15:10 |
| emma | Books about Ubuntu that come with a disk, that disk will work for what I need right? | 15:10 |
| kbrooks | XBehave, and for some cards/dongles the driver may be impossible to change except by the company or person who made the driver | 15:10 |
| hairulfr | emma: Yes, but you could just download some tiny distro that has grub | 15:10 |
| Arthur37854 | i just installed xbuntu on my 27g hd, i had ubuntu on my 4gig to check it out. now i want to wipe out my 4gig hd to use it for storage, how do i do that with out inserting my win xp disk? | 15:10 |

| th0r | Arthur37854 is the 4g drive mounted? | 15:11 |
| emma | Okay then I will try to use that disk to do this restore grub thing but if that gets frustrating. I'm ready, if it's possible, to save files from Windows and Ubuntu, (basically like word documents) and then just flat out reinstall ubuntu from scratch and give it the whole hard drive. | 15:11 |
| Arthur37854 | not now | 15:11 |
| yapyccky | http://i5.tinypic.com/6jlsr4i.png here it is..can someone have a look? | 15:11 |

| th0r | Arthur37854 is it an external or internal drive? | 15:11 |

| th0r | Arthur37854 would you prefer to keep it ntfs or reformat to ext3? | 15:14 |
| kbrooks | robdeman_, you cant do that, you can only do 6.10, 7.04 and 7.10 one after the other or just reinstall | 15:14 |
| Arthur37854 | sure | 15:14 |
| th0r | turbocueca if you do 'du /media/TOMCODE' what does it say now? | 15:14 |

| th0r | Arthur37854 not sure...you have to choose <smile> | 15:14 |

| th0r | turbocueca before you format that drive, I would want to take a look at it in xp to make sure xp can't read it either...and maybe salvage whats onit | 15:17 |
| kbrooks | Arthur37854, he means to go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 15:17 |
| th0r | kbrooks I know...but some OLD habits die real hard <smile> | 15:17 |

| kbrooks | Arthur37854, when the pasted output comes up you can paste the url from the address bar here | 15:18 |
| turbocueca | th0r, my old workstation supported, this one looks like not | 15:18 |

| tommy | which program can I be using to administrate an openSSH-server? or is it already there after installation? | 15:19 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok. Well, if you have nothing of importance on that drive, I would suggest reformatting it. kbrooks just send the command, did you get it? | 15:19 |
| robdeman_ | kbrooks: it says I am on 7.10 | 15:19 |
| robdeman_ | kbrooks: i updated that earlier today using hjelp here on teh channel | 15:19 |
| robdeman_ | kbbrooks: but Webmin says it is still 6.10 | 15:19 |
| kbrooks | robdeman_, did you upgrade from 6.10 to 7.04 AND THEN 7.04 to 7.10? | 15:20 |
| th0r | Arthur37854 do you know the partitions and such on the drive? Do you know how to mount it? | 15:20 |
| robdeman_ | kbrooks; i dont think so | 15:20 |
| kbrooks | robdeman_, well, we cannot help you here... also see | 15:20 |
| kbrooks | !webmin | robdeman_ | 15:20 |
| ubotu | robdeman_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system - Consider "ebox" instead | 15:20 |
| pawan | how to record online music in ubuntu | 15:20 |
| Jowi | tommy: there isn't much to administer for sshd. /etc/ssh/sshd_config is not very complex | 15:21 |
| robdeman_ | oh yeah now im on 7.10 then.. ebox works | 15:21 |

| robdeman_ | hey ok: so can I remotely re-install Ubuntu 6.10 or another vbersion? | 15:23 |
| Arthur37854 | is it more practial to use ntfs or some other file system? | 15:23 |
| tommy | Jowi, okey thanks. that file helped me : ) | 15:23 |
| hairulfr | pawan: sudo apt-get install streamripper | 15:23 |
| robdeman_ | I mean: can I re-install Ubuntu over itself? | 15:23 |
| th0r | Arthur37854 if linux is the only thing on the computer, use ext3. But if the computer is dual boot....use ntfs | 15:23 |
| Arthur37854 | just linux | 15:24 |
| Jowi | tommy: man sshd_config (for more info, AllowUsers etc) | 15:24 |
| astro76 | anolis: sudo apt-get install ntp | 15:24 |
| popeye__ | Howdy all | 15:24 |
| th0r | Arthur37854 then I would use ext3, but it is a personal choice...no reason you can't leave the drive ntfs...just in case you move it | 15:24 |
| timmbob | Hi, is this the right channel for questions regarding to specific hardware setups and ubuntu? | 15:24 |

| th0r | Arthur37854 you unmount the drive, then use fdisk to delete the partition and remake it as ext3. Might be able to just change it from ntfs to ext3, I never tried. But fdisk does all the work | 15:27 |

| hairulfr | albacker: I've done this quite a few times, but I don't really remember how, but you need to specify drive, then installing a new grub, you can boot from livecd and then check out a guide on the net while running grub from term. there is an extensive guide here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html | 15:41 |

| tommy | oh | 15:41 |
| d0berman | suka | 15:41 |
| ikonia | th0r: no - /media | 15:42 |
| khelll | ikonia what does that do exactly | 15:42 |
| khelll | doest it modify the path or replace it | 15:42 |
| albacker | hairulfr, already checked that guide, there should be some extra step for my case. mounting /dev/sda4 to a random directory, doesn't do the job,.. | 15:42 |
| th0r | ikonia jeez...I have got to quit running suse and ubuntu at the same time <smile> | 15:42 |

| Niteye | how much ram do i need | 15:43 |
| hairulfr | tommy: Did you shut down windows properly? If not, the NTFS partition is locked, and ubuntu will not read it unless you force a mount, if this doesn't work, and you do not have windows installed. you can unlock by inserting windows install cd and go along until it asks you to chose installation drive, then the drive will be unlocked and you can just quit installation. | 15:43 |
| ikonia | tommy: what device is your windows partition, I assume it's running ntfs | 15:43 |

| chazco | ikonia - In fact https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tasksel may be better | 15:48 |
| astro76 | Skrat: from a terminal you can launch it with just firefox | 15:48 |
| chazco | Ah, you already got hat one :) | 15:48 |
| chazco | ikonia - Me neither, but tasksel is suggested and seems to work fine apart from this | 15:48 |
| Skrat | So I can use normal firefox? | 15:48 |
| ikonia | chazco: I'd just apt-get it | 15:48 |

| tommy | is it possible to do remote dekstop with putty? | 15:57 |
| iCEifer | kojiro, primary and active I believe | 15:57 |
| kojiro | tommy: not really | 15:57 |
| iCEifer | kojiro, the free space one. | 15:57 |
| Skrat | tommy, use Terminal Server Client | 15:57 |
| tommy | okey.. | 15:58 |
| stefg | Strangework: gutsy has a new kernel feature, called 'dynamic ticks'. This prevents the kernel to wake up every few milliseconds to check if there's work to do. But some hardware, esp. notebooks have trouble with that, so you can revert to the old behaviour by passing 'nohz=off' in grubs kernel parameter line | 15:58 |
| hairulfr | pawan: I rip that channel fine, no buffer problems | 15:58 |
| tommy | I can use a desktop remote client on the connection putty have etablished right? | 15:58 |
| pecisk | tommy: it is possible to tunnel ports you need to your local box so you can connect not worrying about firewalls/nats/etc. | 15:59 |

| pawan | pawan@pawan-desktop:~$ streamripper http://www.hamaraforums.com:8000/ -M | 15:59 |

| Strangework | stefg: ahh, okay, so how do I input "nohz=off"? | 15:59 |
| neopsyche | whats going on here.. dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 15:59 |

| tommy | yeah i'll try vnc | 16:00 |
| neopsyche | type vnc at prompt | 16:00 |
| tommy | oh | 16:00 |
| stefg | Strangework: that involves catching the grub prompt before actual boot and editing the kernel line grub uses to boot the kernel (for testing). For a permanent change you'll have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:01 |
| kojiro | iCEifer: well, if you tried it with ntfs, probably not | 16:01 |

| kojiro | iCEifer: hmm, I wouldn't trust it. Try formatting it FAT, then | 16:02 |

| === beatsteaks is now known as beatsteakss | ||
| hoovie | the issue I have, is that I do not get any sound from my speakers, which are connected to my SB audigy 2 sound card | 16:10 |
| Japher | so hal is failing to initialize .. nothing recorded in messages or syslog .. yet /etc/init.d/hal restart succeeds .. any thoughts on what might be broken ? | 16:10 |
| hairulfr | hoovie: Does it generate sound from the other outputs? | 16:10 |
| hoovie | I have followed some advice, where I made sure that it was set to analog sound, and the onboard sound is supposedly disabled in my bios | 16:10 |
| kurbmaster | need help with an HVR-900 usb | 16:10 |
| hoovie | just for kicks, I hooked up a set of headphones to the onboard sound output, and tried a test sound, and lo and behold, I get sound | 16:11 |
| hoovie | this seems strange to me, since I disabled to onboard sound through the bios | 16:11 |
| beatsteakss | how can I reconfigure my sound without alsaconf ?? | 16:11 |
| Skrat | Dont think of me as stupid, (too much. :P), but how do i update to the latest version of Ubuntu? | 16:12 |
| stefg | !sound | 16:12 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 16:12 |
| larson9999 | is this new sound thing in hardy going to make audio awsome in linux? | 16:12 |
| egronens | irc.kde.org | 16:12 |
| hairulfr | hoovie: try this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/sound-blaster-audigy-2-zs-337513/ | 16:12 |
| stefg | Skrat: intheory or in practice ? :-) | 16:12 |
| Skrat | Both. :P | 16:13 |
| stefg | Skrat: in theory you go !upgrade | 16:13 |
| hoovie | thanks hairulfr, I'll do that | 16:13 |
| stefg | !ipgrade | Skrat | 16:13 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ipgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:13 |
| stefg | !upgrade | Skrat | 16:13 |
| ubotu | Skrat: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 16:13 |

| Skrat | How do i check my version of Ubuntu? | 16:15 |
| stefg | !version | 16:15 |
| ubotu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 16:15 |
| Skrat | Lol | 16:15 |
| Skrat | Thanks | 16:15 |
| Skrat | Ooh, kewl | 16:15 |
| Skrat | Already .10. :D | 16:15 |
| kojiro | Hmm, on the LiveCD standby was working OK on this laptop. But now that I've installed to disk it can't wake up from standby | 16:16 |
| sandr- | !tracker | sandr- | 16:16 |
| Skrat | kojiro, PPC? | 16:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | kojiro, suspend/hibernate can often be an issue with some brands of laptops. Sadly. | 16:16 |
| kojiro | Skrat: nope, x86 -- Dell C810 | 16:16 |
| stefg | kojiro: seems one of the restricted drivers (ati/nvidia) isn't resume-proof.... | 16:16 |
| Skrat | Hmm. Sleep mode, Standby mode... whatever name you call it, has never worked for me. (PPC iBook) | 16:16 |
| hoovie | hairulfr - you still around? | 16:17 |
| hairulfr | hoovie: Yes | 16:17 |
| kojiro | stefg: yeah, probably | 16:17 |
| hairulfr | hoovie: I don't know anything about the audigy card, i just use onboard, but problems getting to work are not uncommon | 16:17 |
| hoovie | following the suggestions in the link you gave me, I started alsamixer through terminal | 16:17 |
| * kojiro disables nvidia-* | 16:17 | |
| slipttees | i have problem with my intel HDA Sound | 16:17 |
| slipttees | someone can help ? | 16:17 |
| stefg | !intelhda | slipttees | 16:18 |
| ubotu | slipttees: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 16:18 |
| hoovie | but for somereason, it shows the onbaord card, and not the audigy. do you know how I can select which is used as default? | 16:18 |
| slipttees | stefg, :-* | 16:18 |
| hairulfr | hoovie: No, unfortunately I do not. But google is your friend, so you should just try looking around, and you should be able to make it work, I'm sure :) | 16:19 |
| robdeman | ehrm.. lets try again: Anybody knows if its possible to remotgely re-install Ubuntu from an .sio over my current Ubuntu server .. suing ssh? | 16:19 |
| hoovie | yeah, I figured. thanks for the help | 16:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | Its always best to dosable the onboard on the bios if you can. | 16:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | disable. :) | 16:19 |
| astro76 | !install | robdeman | 16:20 |
| ubotu | robdeman: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:20 |
| hoovie | I've disabled it through the bios, but it's still accessible for some reason | 16:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | hoovie, i would double check the bios then. and lspci output. | 16:20 |
| stefg | hoovie: linux doesn't use the bios to communicate with the hardware in most cases | 16:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | could be it some how reset/got reenabled. | 16:20 |
| hoovie | I don't think it got re-enabled, as I checked about a half hour ago. | 16:21 |
| hoovie | I'm going to do some more research, and see if I can get this sorted out. thanks all for the suggestions | 16:21 |
| golem1 | how can i list the block devices currently connected? like atacontrol list on freebsd | 16:21 |
| beatsteakss | what do you guys use instead alsaconf ?? | 16:21 |
| kojiro | stefg: yep, sure enough, nv works, nvidia doesn't | 16:23 |
| stefg | kojiro: known issue.... but nothing the linux community can do, since the driver isn't open source ... lets wait for nouveau | 16:23 |
| kojiro | Alright, next problem: When I resume from standby, the machine wakes up, goes back on standby. The second time it wakes up it stays up. Why the double-standby? | 16:24 |
| * pahartik noticed that upgrading "xserver-xorg-video-ati" from "1:6.7.196-2" to "1:6.7.197-1" causes video signals to disappear and whole system to hang, on PowerMacintosh G4 (dual CPU MDD model) with ATI Radeon 9000, on custom kernel with SMP support, but upgrading to "6.7.198~git20080102.30cab1db-1" (provided by Debian GNU/Linux "experimental") makes X11 server work again... Is it worth bug report? | 16:24 | |
| fade_ | hello | 16:24 |
| syntaxerror55 | Is there an AIM client for the command line? | 16:24 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: I like bitlbee | 16:25 |

| flubber | hello does anybody know how to make the wireless n belkin notebook adapter to work | 16:28 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: um, wtf? o.o It doesn't really do anything | 16:28 |
| linxeh | there are likely 10 version of that | 16:28 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: sure it does -- you have to connect an IRC client to it | 16:28 |
| linxeh | flubber: on the back of the adapater will be a model number -you need to google / search the ubuntu wiki for that | 16:28 |
| TschuffaZ | hi | 16:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: ...I wanted AIM. | 16:29 |
| flubber | linxeh: ok thanks\ | 16:29 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: yeah, I know | 16:29 |
| TschuffaZ | i have some problems regrarding graphic installation with envy and ATI drivers | 16:29 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: connect irssi to bitlbee and you'll have an excellent commandline AIM client | 16:29 |
| bazhang | !envy | 16:29 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 16:29 |
| Jowi | unagi: depends on the theme. /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/actions/ list most of them. icons can be inherited from theme to theme (so one theme can use gnomes stock icons for example) | 16:29 |
| TschuffaZ | i installed via envy the ati driver successfully and then uninstalled it | 16:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: How do I connect Irssi to Bitlbee? | 16:30 |
| golem1 | thanks Jowi. well, modprobe ufs and mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd still won't mount my freebsd partition - ufs_read_super: bad magic number | 16:30 |
| unagi | but how do i make the controls theme use a specific icon for something | 16:30 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: start the bitlbeed (daemon), and then connect irssi to localhost | 16:30 |
| === will is now known as w1ll | ||

| TschuffaZ | how can i restore the original graphic drivers by ubuntu | 16:31 |
| unagi | but how do i make the controls theme use a specific icon for something jowi | 16:31 |
| punkshui | I've just recently updated my kernel and added the mactel patches. I now have no sound or wireless. | 16:31 |
| punkshui | Can someone help? | 16:31 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: ...er, what? It keeps saying "Register first". Also, it can't read/write from /var/lib/bitlbee | 16:31 |
| golem1 | someone suggest a fstype to use for shuttlign files between 7.10 and fbsd :P | 16:31 |

| kojiro | syntaxerror55: what keeps saying "register first"? | 16:32 |
| Jowi | w1ll: All I'm saying is "I have no idea on how to do that" :) | 16:32 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: Bittlbee. No matter what you type. | 16:32 |

| TschuffaZ | thx i will try | 16:33 |
| rbanffy | Hi folks. I am experiencing some weird network problems. In a x86 box the DHCP client gets an IP address but is unable to reach anything outside of the local net. The router is a D-Link 524up, the computer is connected via the wired network and two different NICs were used with the same result. Another ubuntu box is working properly (this notebook I am using) and is connected via the wired network. Has anyone ever experienced such weird | 16:33 |
| golem1 | w1ll, i have an fbsd 6.x partition and can't mount it, sez bad magic number | 16:33 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: so you are in irssi connected to localhost, and you type 'help quickstart' in the &bitlbee channel and it says 'register first'? | 16:33 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: No, I typed bitlbee into the command line to launch it. | 16:33 |
| Jowi | unagi: you define the icon theme in (example) /usr/share/icons/gnome/index.theme . if you want to start from scratch I recommend you to find a icon theme tutorial on the web. | 16:34 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: it's a daemon | 16:34 |
| unagi | what in the index.theme tells the theme what to use Jowi | 16:34 |
| turbocueca | I have vmware server on my computer and cant connect another computer to its guests | 16:34 |
| turbocueca | It says connection actively refused | 16:34 |
| Jowi | unagi: have a look at the example index.theme file I listed. | 16:34 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro: Alright, I'm using irssi now. I don't even see a &bitlbee channel or anything else. It hasn't even asked me to log in Dx | 16:34 |
| turbocueca | if I telnet the computer with the guests to himself on port 902 it refuses too | 16:34 |
| w1ll | golem1: really? | 16:35 |
| w1ll | golem1 hang on I'll see if I can find that info for you | 16:35 |
| === BeBoo`away is now known as BeBoo | ||
| w1ll | Off the top of my head I don't know either. | 16:35 |
| Jowi | unagi: it will list sizes of icons. the rest is up to the naming scheme. | 16:35 |
| golem1 | thanks for any effort! | 16:35 |
| punkshui | I have recently applied the mactel patch and am now without sound. My volume control icon has a red X beside it and when I attempt to edit the preferences nothing happens. I get an error message: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. upon double-click. | 16:35 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Bitlbee | 16:36 |
| unagi | what defines the naming scheme | 16:36 |
| th0r | turbocueca is port 902 open on your firewall? | 16:36 |
| bazhang | !who | unagi | 16:36 |
| ubotu | unagi: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 16:36 |
| turbocueca | th0r, firewall, on ubuntu? | 16:37 |
| unagi | !anyone | 16:37 |
| ubotu | 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? | 16:37 |
| turbocueca | th0r, well I also have a router, and it is not open... | 16:37 |
| th0r | turbocueca you going through a wifi? | 16:37 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: basically bitlbee is a service that provides a gateway between an ircd (like Freenode) and your chat networks (like AIM, jabber, MSN) | 16:37 |
| th0r | yup...firewall | 16:37 |
| turbocueca | th0r, cable | 16:37 |
| turbocueca | th0r a simple cable lan connected to a gateway with internet access | 16:37 |
| th0r | turbocueca I think the router firewall will affect the ethernet ports also. | 16:37 |
| th0r | turbocueca ah...ok...how about the other end? wifi or firewall? | 16:38 |
| Jowi | unagi: so if you create a new theme directory ~/.icons/mytheme/index.theme you make subdirs and name the icons the same names that the icons in the gnome icon theme are named. that's the easiest way to start. then add an "inherits" section to the theme file so it will replace icons you don't have in your theme with icons that exist in for example "gnome" theme. | 16:38 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: but bitlbee is a service, so it must be run as a service, you probably can't just kick it off the commandline | 16:38 |
| chazco | Can anyone tell me if the Gusty install CD has been updated since its release? The current one downloads approx 150 updates totally over 200MB each install, which is a problem... | 16:38 |
| turbocueca | th0r, connected to the same gateway with cable | 16:38 |
| syntaxerror55 | Alright...o.o;...I /connect localhost'd | 16:38 |
| nuxil | If anyone has gotten TVout to work on a gforce 8800 card.. please tell me how you did it, | 16:38 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok...computer - ethernet hub - computer...basically it? | 16:38 |
| unagi | Jowi: i still dont understand, i want my controls theme to use a different icon than default for certain things because my controls theme doesnt have those icons included | 16:38 |
| Jowi | unagi: I really suggest you to find a tutorial though. perhaps there is one at http://art.gnome.org | 16:39 |
| turbocueca | th0r, yes | 16:39 |
| turbocueca | th0r, most like a switch | 16:39 |

| unagi | Jowi: it just doesnt seem like i would need to do so much to change one icon | 16:39 |
| syntaxerror55 | chazco: Why is it a problem? (HughesNet, probably, because their limit is 200mb) | 16:39 |
| x-X-x | i get a 404 | 16:39 |
| x-X-x | and when i use wget its still says 404 | 16:40 |
| th0r | turbocueca I assume you can ping the other computer. Are you sure that port 902 is correct? and have you had it working with anyone else? or is this the first time you are trying it? | 16:40 |
| adrift | hello folks | 16:40 |
| chazco | syntaxerror55 - Because in the UK almost all ISP's have FUP... these mean that if you download too much you get your speed cut / disconnected... 200MB of updates on several machines can eaisly hit this limit | 16:40 |
| turbocueca | th0r first time | 16:40 |
| turbocueca | th0r I cant ping | 16:40 |
| turbocueca | th0r I also have a samba lan here | 16:40 |
| syntaxerror55 | chazco: ok. | 16:40 |
| Jowi | unagi: that was exactly what I explained. you use "inherits" for your own theme so that you you can have just a single icon for your theme and the rest of the icons gets "inherited" from the gnome theme. | 16:41 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok....can't go anywhere til you can ping the other computer. Do you both have access to the web as it is now? | 16:41 |
| chazco | I do a fresh install every so often, which means it happens quite a bit | 16:41 |
| turbocueca | th0r, but anyway, I can't even telnet localhost port 902 on the host computer | 16:41 |
| turbocueca | th0r yes | 16:41 |
| th0r | turbocueca are you trying to use vncserver? | 16:41 |
| unagi | so i cant just drop an icon with the same naming scheme and have it use that one instead.....jowi | 16:41 |
| turbocueca | th0r ... no.. fit's just vmware server | 16:41 |
| th0r | ok. | 16:41 |
| Leechzilla | My OSS stops working quite often, and I have to stop gdm and remove and add the sound module again before I can get it to work again. Is there any other way around this? | 16:41 |
| Jowi | unagi: you can. but if the gnome theme gets updated your icon will dissappear again. | 16:42 |
| turbocueca | th0r folks from #vmware are talking about packet filtering | 16:42 |
| turbocueca | th0r does ubuntu has anything like that enabled by default? | 16:42 |
| punkshui | I recentlly added the mactel patches to my gutsy gibbon macbook running kernel 2.6.23-12(or something similar, the latest one from kernel.org) upon reboot my sound doesn't work. can someone help me with this problem? | 16:42 |
| th0r | turbocueca that's firewall...you said there isn't one. | 16:42 |
| turbocueca | th0r no,I asked if ubuntu had one | 16:42 |
| unagi | i havent been able to even temporarily change the icon Jowi | 16:43 |
| turbocueca | th0r, the gatway has one, but I guess that's not the problem | 16:43 |
| th0r | turbocueca just to check....in a terminal type 'sudo iptables -L' | 16:43 |
| th0r | turbocueca no...if the gateway has one that may be the problem. | 16:43 |
| th0r | turbocueca that is what I was asking before. | 16:43 |
| turbocueca | th0r, when telneting pc1 to pc1 it refuses connection | 16:44 |
| th0r | turbocueca first step....check iptables | 16:44 |
| turbocueca | th0r when connecting pc2 to pc1 via vmware it refuses connection | 16:44 |
| turbocueca | th0r pc2 to pc1 says it cant find the computer | 16:44 |

| ljsmithx | Is there a way to get my live mail in Evolution? | 16:47 |
| turbocueca | th0r, xp | 16:47 |
| nitetrip | anyone know how i can stop getting the message "for security purposes, this program will not run while system debuggers are active. Please remove or disable the system debugger before trying to run this application" when trying to run zmud | 16:48 |
| chazco | adrift - Try using nvidia-settings to reset everything? | 16:48 |
| nitetrip | it worked fine before i reinstalled ubuntu 7.10 | 16:48 |
| kojiro | anyone else have a computer wake up from standby and then go right back to sleep? This C810 only stays awake the *second* time I wake itup | 16:48 |
| Ropechoborra | Nahztu Well, you ask here, and the one who reads it and know the answer will help you =) | 16:48 |
| Skrat | ljsmithx, If you can set up live mail with POP3, or IMAP, then yes | 16:48 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok...check the ip in your computer with 'ifconfig' and in the other computer Run cmd.exe and type 'ipconfig /all' | 16:48 |
| ljsmithx | which one do I chose? IMAP or POP? | 16:48 |
| nitetrip | i shold mention i run it under wine | 16:48 |
| Skrat | IMAP is better | 16:48 |
| th0r | turbocueca I don't need them...but I want you to make sure you are using the right ones...write them down for now. | 16:49 |
| ljsmithx | ok | 16:49 |
| Skrat | POP3 is sort of outdated now | 16:49 |
| chazco | Anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700 with Gusty? | 16:49 |
| ljsmithx | Whats the mail server? | 16:49 |
| Nahztu | I appreciate you spelling out the full name, thank you... ok well I have made a couple of creations on Synfig, but I don't know how to animate, or show them to anyone else, but myself? | 16:49 |
| ljsmithx | mail.live.com? | 16:49 |
| Skrat | Uhm, should be in Live settings... or options | 16:49 |
| Jowi | ljsmithx: if Live support IMAP it's better. | 16:49 |
| th0r | turbocueca let me know when you are ready | 16:49 |
| ljsmithx | ok then | 16:49 |
| hairulfr | chazco: Hey there, got a guide, for ericssons though, but it might work with yours, the tools are standard. Give me a second :) | 16:49 |
| MisterChief | Is there a way to copy a folder from Ubuntu to Windows over a network with a terminal command? | 16:49 |
| turbocueca | th0r commands ran | 16:49 |

| th0r | turbocueca ok...if you ping your ip, it should work | 16:50 |
| nitetrip | astro76, i have no one seems to know there either | 16:50 |
| hairulfr | chazco: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=242932 try that one :) | 16:50 |
| adrift | chazco, what exactly are you referring to pertaining to nvidia-settings? | 16:50 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief with CP ! :) But the path of the file must have the right network adress | 16:50 |
| th0r | turbocueca ping your own computer | 16:50 |
| hairulfr | chazco: It works for my w580 | 16:50 |
| punkshui | I'm pretty sure that Ubuntu is only recognizing one of my processors | 16:50 |
| Nahztu | How do I show my Art to the community? | 16:50 |
| ikonia | punkshui: what makes you think that | 16:50 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief eg: cp file.txt //pc1/home | 16:50 |
| chazco | adrift - Alt+F2, "gksudo nvidia-settings" and try the reset to defaults option maybe | 16:50 |
| turbocueca | th0r, no problems | 16:50 |
| nitetrip | its real weird, it worked i installed form the exact same cd, worked the first time, i tried fedora, hated it and put ubuntu back on and it doesnt work | 16:50 |
| ikonia | Nahztu: there is an art forum on the ubuntu forums | 16:50 |
| andrewm | Hello, whenever i run ./configure on a C source code package, i get the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". What package do i need to install to remedy this problem | 16:50 |
| chazco | hairulfr - Thanks :) | 16:50 |
| MisterChief | Thanks Ropechoborra | 16:50 |
| bullgard4 | MisterChief: Yes there is. You will need first to install Samba. | 16:51 |
| adrift | chazco, ok thanks for the advice | 16:51 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok...and in the cmd window...the other guy should be able to ping himself as well. | 16:51 |
| ManuP | punkshui, test with cat /proc/cpuinfo | 16:51 |
| Jowi | punkshui: cat /proc/cpuinfo. if two cpu's is listed there you're fine. | 16:51 |
| punkshui | when i type cat /proc/cpuinfo i get only one processor listed | 16:51 |
| kojiro | MisterChief: or you can run an sshd on windows | 16:51 |

| ManuP | Jowi, dito | 16:51 |
| ikonia | punkshui: what cpu do you have | 16:51 |

| debian | morning everyone | 16:52 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief Oh.. yes... Samba i forgot :$ need to install it first to configure the compatibility between the systems | 16:52 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok...just had a thought...is the windows firewall enabled? (It is in sp2 by default I believe) | 16:52 |
| turbocueca | th0r it is | 16:52 |
| ikonia | punkshui: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -c processor | 16:52 |
| Jowi | punkshui: I have a macmini core duo (not the core 2 duo) and it's detected fine. which kernel do you use? (uname -a) | 16:52 |
| ManuP | punkshui, and you only get listet one? | 16:52 |
| th0r | turbocueca ok....should I tell you what to try next? <smile> | 16:52 |
| MisterChief | Ropechoborra: Can I install it through terminal? I can't access any other programs (internet etc) on my linux box | 16:52 |
| ikonia | Jowi: I bet it's just flooding off screen | 16:53 |
| punkshui | 1 | 16:53 |
| punkshui | is the output from that | 16:53 |
| turbocueca | th0r but anyway ubuntu machine cant telnet himself | 16:53 |
| ikonia | punkshui: Jowi is correct uname -a please. | 16:53 |
| turbocueca | th0r ubuntu is refusing | 16:53 |
| mame | Does linux have a pagefile like windows? | 16:53 |
| turbocueca | th0r yup | 16:53 |
| punkshui | ikonia what do you mean uname -a? | 16:53 |
| ikonia | mame: no it has a swap partition, same thing as windows though | 16:53 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief Well, yes you can, but you need to get the sources file first. If you got internet access, then with apt-get install samba | 16:53 |
| andrewm | Hello, whenever i run ./configure on a C source code package, i get the error "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables". What package do i need to install to remedy this problem | 16:53 |
| debian | mame >> i dont think so, it has a swap partition | 16:53 |
| debian | though | 16:53 |
| ikonia | punkshui: please type uname -a and show us hte output | 16:53 |
| th0r | turbocueca you should never use telnet...install and use sshd if you need that access, even in windows. | 16:53 |
| NiteFire | are there any music players for Ubuntu 7.10 that will recognize my Samsung YP T9J it shows up on the hardware list but otherwise the os doesn't see it. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest revision. | 16:53 |

| ikonia | andrewm: install the build-esentials package | 16:54 |
| th0r | turbocueca I would disable the windows firewall and try the ping...I think it will work then | 16:54 |
| ikonia | nitetrip: no | 16:54 |
| Jowi | punkshui: some kernels does not have "smp" enabled which is needed for dual core (or more) | 16:54 |

| ikonia | Jowi: all ubuntu ones should | 16:54 |
| mame | I was looking for a program to help me clean up all the hiden folders that are no longer used | 16:54 |
| th0r | turbocueca no need messing with telnet, ssh, vmware, anything else until the ping works | 16:54 |
| ikonia | punkshui: are you using ubuntu, what version and what is the output of uname -a | 16:54 |
| ikonia | mame: there is no program | 16:54 |

| ikonia | punkshui: that is not ubuntu | 16:54 |
| turbocueca | th0r, I just used telnet to test, #vmware folks told me to | 16:54 |
| Nahztu | I am only an Artist. I don't know much about implementing my work on the internet to get some sort of critique. I'm sure I should want to know, and I do, but for right now I don't know how to show anyone my creations? | 16:54 |
| mame | darn then its a reinstall for me | 16:54 |
| Jowi | punkshui: -mactel is not an ubuntu kernel i think | 16:54 |
| punkshui | ikonia I'm using gutsy gibbon 7.10 | 16:55 |
| bazhang | jonah1980: ubuntu | 16:55 |
| Ropechoborra | mame You say wich folder is no longer used or not =) A program can not know that | 16:55 |
| ikonia | punkshui: no you are not | 16:55 |
| turbocueca | th0r, but the ping works.. | 16:55 |
| debian | mame >> why dont you delete the ones you know yo dont use in the terminal or nautilus? | 16:55 |
| punkshui | ikonia well i recently patched the kernel using hte mactel patches | 16:55 |
| ikonia | punkshui: where did you get that kernel | 16:55 |
| th0r | turbocueca can you ping from pc1 to pc2? | 16:55 |
| ikonia | punkshui: then you have broke the kernel's smp support | 16:55 |
| andrewm | ikonia, trying that now... | 16:55 |
| mame | cause that would take longer then just a reinstall | 16:55 |
| Jowi | punkshui: you forgot a switch somewhere when you compiled the kernel. | 16:55 |
| ikonia | punkshui: so it's now up to you what you do | 16:55 |
| ManuP | punkshui, i also dont think that you use ubuntu... | 16:55 |
| punkshui | ikonia kernel.org then patched with mactel patches | 16:55 |

| chuy_ | I need some help troubleshooting a harddrive mount problem | 16:55 |
| debian | mame >> ah ok | 16:56 |
| ikonia | punkshui: then you need to rebuild with smp support in your kernel | 16:56 |
| debian | mame >> just remember to back up your imprtant data first :p | 16:56 |
| punkshui | ManuP I do use Ubuntu.. the install CD is in my drive currently.. it's the only one I have.. I just updated the kernel | 16:56 |
| th0r | chuy_ what exactly do you need? | 16:56 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief Try with CP without samba, if you cant, then find a way of installing Samba and if not, find a different way to copy the files | 16:56 |
| Nahztu | But I'm using Synfig... not Blender. | 16:56 |
| turbocueca | th0r, yes.. | 16:56 |
| Jowi | punkshui: why not use the stock ubuntu kernels? all hardware in the mac mini works with them at least... | 16:56 |
| MisterChief | Ropechoborra: I managed to install samba via terminal | 16:56 |
| ljsmithx | ARR | 16:56 |
| mame | Yes that is true. I am trying to figure out how to backup my photos from f-spot | 16:56 |
| th0r | turbocueca oh...I thought you said you couldn't. | 16:56 |
| ManuP | punkshui, did you read what ikonia and jowi said? | 16:56 |
| ljsmithx | like always I can't find anything on the microsoft site | 16:57 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief =) Cool, then comes the ugly part, i never could configure it xP | 16:57 |
| turbocueca | th0r, My network is configured to access all computers with no problems, but on vmware I just cant connect to pc1 | 16:57 |
| punkshui | ManuP yes, but I don't understand | 16:57 |
| debian | mame >> by default, ubuntu saves your pics in the ~/Pictures folder | 16:57 |
| turbocueca | th0r, no no | 16:57 |
| NiteFire | mame: can you not just save them to another drive ? | 16:57 |
| ljsmithx | I don't know their mail server or anything | 16:57 |
| ManuP | punkshui, okay. | 16:57 |
| debian | mame >> just fyi | 16:57 |
| bulmer | Nahztu, so ? go there at blendernation.com and see their work, they have others using other tools that post and compare stuff | 16:57 |
| ikonia | ljsmithx: we are not interested in micsoft websites, this is ubuntu support only for support questions only | 16:57 |
| Jowi | !kernel | punkshui | 16:57 |

| ManuP | punkshui, so you only updated kernel? | 16:57 |
| turbocueca | th0r, pc1 cant even connect to himself.. through port 902, vmware port | 16:57 |
| punkshui | ManuP my sound also doesn't work | 16:57 |
| ikonia | punkshui: use the ubuntu kernels | 16:57 |
| Ropechoborra | !samba | MisterChief | 16:57 |
| ubotu | MisterChief: 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. | 16:57 |
| punkshui | ikonia do you have a macbook? | 16:58 |
| Jowi | ManuP: he does not use an ubuntu kernel. | 16:58 |
| turbocueca | th0r vmware port 902 is telnet, you see, so if it doesn't work, there's something wrong | 16:58 |
| ikonia | punkshui: yes | 16:58 |
| ManuP | punkshui, you had a running system and just wanted to update the kernel? why? | 16:58 |
| debian | Samba is also a protocol used by linux to view windows networks | 16:58 |
| ikonia | punkshui: not on it at the moment but I do have one | 16:58 |
| ljsmithx | ikonia, I'm trying to setup Evolution to resive my Live mail btw.. | 16:58 |

| debian | and to send/recieve messages from windows networks | 16:58 |
| punkshui | ikonia my battery life is decreased to about 1:30 from 4 hours in os x | 16:58 |
| ikonia | ljsmithx: we don't need a running commentary please. | 16:58 |
| ManuP | Jowi, can you help him then? | 16:58 |
| ljsmithx | I can't find anything about how to set | 16:58 |
| Nahztu | Why have two people/things already told me to go to... Blender, whater. I need assistance with Synfig, not Blender? | 16:58 |
| ikonia | punkshui: it's different OS's setup different, thats just tuning - not kernel rebuilding | 16:58 |
| debian | mame >> why cant you just copy your images to an external drive/partition? | 16:58 |
| bulmer | turbocueca, what is the configuration of your vmware? | 16:58 |
| th0r | turbocueca it is beginning to sound like a vmware problem, but I can't help with that. If you can ping between the two computers then you should be able to get there on port 902. But I do think you are going to have to shut down or modify the windows firewall to allow it. | 16:58 |
| ljsmithx | I know that, I posted it wondering if anyone lse would know. | 16:59 |

| turbocueca | bulmer, configuration how? | 16:59 |
| Jowi | ManuP: I could but no way I want to. (s)he compiled + patched a non-standard kernel and is now missing smp, audio and probably some other stuff as well. | 16:59 |
| punkshui | ikonia ok, where do I go from here. I was thinking maybe i downloaded the wrong distro | 16:59 |
| Quicksilva | Hi i used this guide to install 7.12 drivers manually. Everything seems to be working (including my xorg.conf) which wasnt working before. When I use fglrxinfo in terminal I get the responce I am supposed to but my graphical performance is absolutely terrible | 16:59 |
| ManuP | punkshui, if you are going to reinstall ubuntu, take a look at Linux Mint :) | 17:00 |
| debian | . o (didnt knwo ubuntu was at 7.12) | 17:00 |
| ikonia | punkshui: I would re-install and come back to help fix you isses from a standard install | 17:00 |
| Nahztu | I'm really confused... isn't this chat used for Synfig? | 17:00 |
| ikonia | ManuP: why recommend mint to him ? | 17:00 |
| bulmer | turbocueca, look into your vmware help docs, i dont have vmware loaded right now, but its on the menu when you activate it | 17:00 |
| punkshui | ikonia what distribution? | 17:00 |
| th0r | turbocueca right...sorry...I thought you were trying telnet on the telnet port. not really familiar with vmware...sorry | 17:00 |
| ikonia | punkshui: there is nothing wrong with ubuntu | 17:00 |
| punkshui | ikonia amd64 or i386? | 17:00 |
| turbocueca | th0r, no problem, but something is blocking the connection, or ubuntu or vmware | 17:00 |
| bulmer | Nahztu, look at the channel name this is #ubuntu not synfig | 17:00 |
| turbocueca | bulmer, ok | 17:00 |
| ManuP | ikonia, well, at least i recommend him to use standard and pre-compiled kernels until he knows enought to compile his own one. | 17:01 |
| MisterChief | Do I just use an _ if there is a space in a directory name for terminal? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | punkshui: thats up to you, depending on what you do. Few home users will find a benifit in 64bit | 17:01 |
| Nahztu | Christ... well while I'm here, what is Ubuntu? | 17:01 |
| MisterChief | Or is it %20? | 17:01 |
| debian | ROFL ROFL | 17:01 |
| ikonia | ManuP: no - you just recommended mint, blindly to him. Please don't | 17:01 |

| debian | << being a moron >> ubuntu is a series of code which makes your computer function in a way that it never has before | 17:02 |
| th0r | chuy_ try 'sudo umount /dev/sda1' | 17:02 |
| ikonia | ManuP: you suggested another distro pointlessly, there is no reason for that. We do not support/recommend/discuss mint or non-ubuntu distros in this channel | 17:02 |
| punkshui | ikonia so it doesn't make a difference if I install i386 or amd64? | 17:02 |

| nbkr | punkshui, Better Memorymanagement for systems with more than 4 GB of ram. | 17:04 |
| Nahztu | 't anyone just tell me? | 17:04 |
| debian | rofl they actually have an unbutu live cd =)) | 17:04 |
| th0r | debian unbutu is what you do when you uninstall ubuntu | 17:04 |
| debian | here it is >> www.applefritter.com/node/9127 | 17:04 |
| Jowi | Nahztu: this is a support channel. if you don't need any technical help you can talk freely in #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:04 |
| ikonia | Nahztu: it is a long discussion, Please read about it on http://www.ubuntu.com | 17:04 |
| runemaste644 | would an XFree86 driver be appropriate for Gutsy? | 17:04 |
| debian | rof thor yah | 17:04 |
| punkshui | nbkr thanks | 17:04 |
| debian | no thats unbuntu | 17:04 |
| ikonia | runemaste644: ubuntu runs xorg | 17:05 |
| dvlkiss | sometimes my cpu temp goes over 80 c to start the fan, after restart it works well, ubuntu 7.10 | 17:05 |
| punkshui | ikonia so any tips for the standard install? | 17:05 |
| chuy_ | th0r: The thing is that I was trying to mount /dev/hda, not sda. sda was already mounted as another drive. Also, now I have a folder named "Hpoop" in /media/. | 17:05 |
| ManuP | Nahztu, Ubuntu wants to become the most famous OS in the world. and once, when all governments use it, they will let it crash :) | 17:05 |
| ikonia | punkshui: just do a standard install ? what more do you want to know | 17:05 |
| DawnLight | hello. are there differences between ubuntu derivatives besides the selection of packages? | 17:05 |
| ikonia | ManuP: please stop making pointless / miss-leading and random comments to people. | 17:05 |
| ^root^ | ManuP, i knew that :P | 17:05 |
| punkshui | ikonia i have a swap partition a home partition and a root partition with about 5GB of space... | 17:05 |
| th0r | dvlkiss that hints that something is loading down the cpu, the next time it happens open a terminal and type 'top' and see if you can spot what is using all that cpu | 17:05 |
| bulmer | chuy_, you can only mount partitions, not a hard drive..hard drive may have multiple partitions | 17:05 |
| ikonia | punkshui: sounds good | 17:05 |
| debian | dawn >> some of them are different (like DSL), but most of them, not really | 17:06 |
| Jowi | DawnLight: you better see the derivatives homepage for that. | 17:06 |
| Nahztu | Holy christ, what a great example of someone not wanting to use their brain. I understand I could find Ubuntu anywhere, but I asked here... and such if this is a technical support that would intitled me to the question of wht the hell is Ubuntu, and what is its purpose? | 17:06 |
| runemaste644 | so i cant use the "Savage Family Linux XFree86 4.0.3 X Server Binary and Switch Utility version 1.1.18" from www.s3graphics.com? | 17:06 |
| punkshui | ikonia so what do i do for a clean install.. last time i reinstallled it felt like my settings were still there | 17:06 |
| ToddEDM | good morning... i got 2 avi files, what program do i use to put them onto DVD? | 17:06 |
| kojiro | Nahztu: stop trolling | 17:06 |
| nbkr | DawnLight, No, except that Ubuntu 8.04 will be LTS (Long Term Support), and Kubuntu 8.04 will not have LTS. | 17:06 |
| Nahztu | I don't know what trolling means.... | 17:06 |
| ikonia | Nahztu: "what is ubuntu" is not a technical support channel. You can read the basics on http://www.ubuntu.com | 17:06 |
| DawnLight | Jowi: link? | 17:06 |
| debian | nah >> ubuntu is an operating system promoting free and opensource software | 17:06 |
| chuy_ | Bulmer: I'm talking about particians *hda1 | 17:06 |
| bulmer | Nahztu, we are volunteers, and you have the brain also (we assume) to read google and be decent | 17:07 |
| th0r | chuy_ ok...the type 'sudo umount /media/Hpoop' and you can always delete the folder (but I think it will go away by itself). If you already had /dev/sda mounted it should stay mounted if you use this command. | 17:07 |
| debian | it utilizes the linux kernel, therefore making a more stable and more secure os | 17:07 |
| debian | and also making it a free and opensource operating system | 17:07 |
| th0r | chuy_ once you issue the umount command, look in /media/Hpoop and make sure there is nothing there. | 17:07 |
| punkshui | ikonia i'm just worried that it willl keep using the same kernel i just installed | 17:07 |
| Jowi | DawnLight: If you wonder about a specific deriative distro you should already know its homepage. I only use Ubuntu so no, I don't have a link :) | 17:07 |
| ikonia | punkshui: not if you do a re-install | 17:07 |
| NiteFire | turbocueca: Not all of the vmware image files are created equal. Do you see a tab on the top of your vm window that shows a network card. If so make sure that it is showing in use. If not check www.jars.de for a better image file. | 17:07 |
| th0r | chuy_ and you can type 'mount' by itself to see what is mounted and where | 17:07 |
| Nahztu | Ubuntu is a free software distributer? | 17:07 |
| debian | and with the new ubuntu 7.10 it gives you mroe features then windows has to offer | 17:07 |
| debian | nah >> yes | 17:08 |
| Nahztu | Thank you | 17:08 |
| punkshui | ikonia ok. thanks | 17:08 |
| bulmer | th0r, he can only mount partitions not a hard disk..distinction is hard disk has multiple partitions that can be mounted individually | 17:08 |
| debian | ubuntu is owned by canonical, whom provides the free cds | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Nahztu: no, ubuntu is a Linux distribution. You can read about it and what it does on http:/www.ubuntu.com | 17:08 |
| runemaste644 | so i cant use the driver just because its for XFree86? | 17:08 |
| ikonia | debian: it is not owned by canonical. | 17:08 |
| dvlkiss | the problem is that the fan on my laptop doesnt work at all until 80 c | 17:08 |
| ikonia | debian: please be precise in what you say to people | 17:08 |
| debian | ik >> the cd protion of it is | 17:08 |
| ToddEDM | i got 2 avi files, what program do i use to put them onto DVD? | 17:08 |
| Nahztu | Ikonia... I have a memmory, please. | 17:08 |
| th0r | bulmer yeah...we had been working with sda1, but somewhere along the way we truncated...I assumed he knew to keep it <smile> | 17:08 |
| debian | ubuntu is a community project | 17:08 |
| ikonia | Nahztu: then please review the site suggestion | 17:08 |
| runemaste644 | and what is the difference between xorg and xfree86 | 17:08 |

| DawnLight | can i install a basic ubuntu system without any desktop environment? | 17:09 |
| ikonia | runemaste644: they where the same base system that have now split and gone their own ways | 17:09 |
| kojiro | alright, how can I have the machine do the same type of standby when I close the lid as when I hit the standby key? | 17:09 |
| Nahztu | No, I got my information, and if this is a "leader" in this chat I apologise for any missdeeds. | 17:09 |
| th0r | chuy_ pastebin the output of the 'mount' command | 17:09 |
| Jowi | runemaste644: xorg was a fork of xfree86 but is nowadays quite different. | 17:09 |
| ikonia | DawnLight: you can, but that defeats the object of all the intergration | 17:09 |
| DawnLight | ikonia: what integration? | 17:09 |
| strabes | does anyone know why when you make the workspace switcher show all workspaces in two rows, when you use the scroll wheel over it, it switches to the 3rd workspace (down) instead of the 2nd one (to the right) | 17:09 |
| debian | brb..gonna get coffee ~o) | 17:10 |
| ikonia | DawnLight: application/software/desktop intergration | 17:10 |
| ubuntu__ | OK, random freezes on a HP visualize x-class (serverworks cnb20he) w/ usb 2.0 pci card, nvidia geforce 440 mx, promise ultra ata 100 pci card, 512 mb ram, dual piii | 17:10 |
| Tm_T | Nahztu: there's no leaders, and that won't be reason to apologize | 17:10 |
| chuy_ | th0r: sudo umount /media/Hpoop . Now the true sda (Vagina Gentium) is unmounted, and Hpoop is still in /Media | 17:10 |
| dvlkiss | also hibernate does not work on hp nx6125 with ati x200 | 17:10 |
| ToddEDM | i got 2 avi files, what program do i use to put them onto DVD? | 17:10 |
| Jowi | DawnLight: ubuntu-server , then add what you want after that. | 17:10 |
| Skrat | Fire? No way | 17:10 |
| Skrat | Fire from macshadows? | 17:10 |
| kojiro | wtf | 17:10 |
| Tm_T | kojiro: no need to use that abbreviation, thanks | 17:10 |
| th0r | chuy_ what does 'mount' say...is /dev/sda1 mounted anywhere in the output list? | 17:10 |
| Fire-- | 0o | 17:10 |
| Skrat | y/n? | 17:10 |
| kojiro | Tm_T: ok, sorry | 17:11 |
| debian | back | 17:11 |
| piedoggie | where's a good place to ask about disk I/O performance? Using mega raid 150 cars and raid 5 configuration | 17:11 |
| runemaste644 | well is there any proprietary driver for an s3 mx-ix card that supports 3D, xgl, etc. and works on xorg? | 17:11 |
| dvlkiss | is there a plugin for global hotkeys on banshee? | 17:11 |
| x-X-x | anyone know where i can download realplayer 10 gold linux other thant the official website, becouse i am unable to download through firefox the llink posted on the website | 17:11 |
| Fire-- | nope, of course. | 17:11 |
| DawnLight | Jowi: does ubuntu server differ from ubuntu desktop only in installed package? | 17:11 |
| debian | . o (does not like s3 at all) | 17:11 |
| kojiro | Tm_T: interesting that you chose my response instead of the item that elicited it 9 lines prior | 17:11 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Here you go http://pastebin.com/m3375fd38 | 17:11 |
| debian | . o (perfers nvidia/ati) | 17:11 |
| Tm_T | DawnLight: no, Ubuntu Server has only minimum system | 17:11 |
| th0r | chuy_ give me a sec | 17:11 |
| naitmer | hi | 17:12 |
| Jowi | DawnLight: yes (as well as a special server kernel if needed) | 17:12 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as That_Guy | ||
| debian | tm > i thought ubuntu server was minimum with server utilities? | 17:12 |
| Tm_T | kojiro: who? btw, I haven't been here long yet today | 17:12 |
| debian | hi nait | 17:12 |
| kojiro | Tm_T: chuy_ | 17:12 |
| === That_Guy is now known as DualPIII | ||
| Jowi | DawnLight: server and desktop use the same base repository to fetch the packages. | 17:13 |
| th0r | chuy_ looks good...sda1 is not mounted anywhere...and nothing is on Hpoop. If /media/Hpoop is empty you can delete it if you aren't planning ot use it | 17:13 |
| runemaste644 | well . o (doesnt think he can find another card that will fit into a pavillion n5490) | 17:13 |
| Tm_T | !away | DualPIII | 17:13 |
| ubotu | DualPIII: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines | 17:13 |
| Tm_T | debian: perhaps, haven't investigated, though, can't say what would be those server utilities | 17:13 |
| th0r | chuy_ and if you tell me what you were originally trying to do I will try to help with that. | 17:13 |
| DawnLight | Jowi: can i browse the reposiroty online? | 17:13 |
| as | I'm going to Istanbul | 17:13 |
| runemaste644 | yes at packages.ubuntu.com | 17:13 |
| debian | tm >> have you used ubu server? | 17:14 |
| as | yuppy | 17:14 |
| MisterChief | Is there a way to reset all settings to default while keeping the ~/ files? | 17:14 |
| hairulf1 | How do I get ubuntu to load in verbose mode? | 17:14 |
| Tm_T | debian: yes, btw, use my full nick please | 17:14 |
| debian | Tm_T >> ok sorry, | 17:14 |
| th0r | MisterChief what do you mean reset all settings....for one piece of software, for all the menus, ? | 17:14 |
| Tm_T | debian: thank you, now I get hilights | 17:14 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, why? is this a recent install? | 17:14 |
| kojiro | Is there a channel that specializes in ubuntu on laptops? I haven't had much luck getting help with the standby issues on this laptop | 17:15 |
| debian | tm_t do you get hilights even if yoru names in lowercase? | 17:15 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Whats the command to delete a file in terminal? | 17:15 |
| debian | like this^^ | 17:15 |
| Jowi | DawnLight: sure can. http://archive.ubuntu.com | 17:15 |
| Tm_T | debian: sure | 17:15 |
| debian | ok gotcha | 17:15 |
| th0r | chuy_ to delete a file is 'rm <filename> | 17:15 |
| debian | ;) | 17:15 |
| Tm_T | !laptop | kojiro | 17:15 |
| ubotu | kojiro: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 17:15 |

| Tm_T | !tab | debian | 17:16 |
| ubotu | debian: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 17:16 |
| pppoe_dude | chuy_, rm -i <filename> | 17:16 |
| MisterChief | bulmer: no, I want to reset the settings on my 7.10 as I can't boot i high-graphics mode - I thought if I reset settings, it would work, but I want to keep my ~/ files | 17:16 |
| th0r | chuy_ to delete a dir is 'rmdir <dirname>' | 17:16 |
| debian | oh ok kl | 17:16 |
| debian | !tab | tm | 17:16 |
| ubotu | tm: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 17:16 |

| jay_ | Hello, I am trying to test a website i created locally on my ubuntu 7.10 setup. I cant get the MTA working correctly to send mail. I am using drupal 5.5 and simplenews to test email newsletters and it wont send anything. I took the files for the site up to a production server and it sends the test email properly. | 17:16 |

| bulmer | MisterChief, before you made all these changes, did you keep the original xorg.conf file which I assume had a lower rez compatible with your setup? | 17:17 |
| runemaste644 | it was just two consecutive things | 17:17 |
| MisterChief | bulmer: I made a backup of it, I'll make another now | 17:17 |
| Tm_T | runemaste644: yes, just made you to know that you don't need to do more, or even those two ;) | 17:17 |
| runemaste644 | imho, botabuse is doing several at a time or one repeatedly | 17:17 |
| turbocueca | th0r | 17:18 |
| Tm_T | runemaste644: giving advice is not an attack, son | 17:18 |

| turbocueca | th0r, re running the installation corrected th eproblem | 17:18 |
| turbocueca | th0r thank you | 17:18 |
| th0r | turbocueca welcome <smile> | 17:18 |
| Leechzilla | My OSS stops working quite often, and I have to stop gdm and remove and add the sound module again before I can get it to work again. Is there any other way around this? | 17:18 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, if you had the original (fresh from a new install) load that in to your xorg.conf and see if you get better rez to work with | 17:18 |
| MisterChief | I can't remember it | 17:19 |
| * Tm_T slaps Azop | 17:19 | |
| chuy_ | th0r: Ok, I have ah IDE harddrive running ubuntu, a Sata that I use as extra storage, and then another IDE that is split into 2 parts. http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?d94a1eb0c4.png | 17:20 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, Thanks :D. Oh, also, when I quit bitlbee, why did it not save my accounts? | 17:20 |
| th0r | chuy_ taking forever to load <smile>. OK...what do you want to do? | 17:20 |
| Leechzilla | syntaxerror55: type save | 17:21 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, i thought there was a command something like dpkg-reconfigure xorg something...hang lets us ubuntu | 17:21 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: you need to identify | 17:21 |
| bulmer | !dpkg-reconfigure | 17:21 |
| naitmer | i would like to know how to give a user mount/unmount privileges | 17:21 |
| chuy_ | th0r: The 3.5GB Volume should be accompanied by another 70 or so GB partician, but I can't find it. | 17:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 17:21 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Please see picturew | 17:21 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, there you go per, Jack | 17:21 |
| debian | nait >> are you trying to have them mount like a hard drive? | 17:21 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, <root> The nick is (probably) not registered. I think this is related to how when I typed bitlbee into the cli to begin with, it said it couldn't read to some folder in /var | 17:21 |
| MisterChief | Thanks | 17:22 |
| naitmer | debian>yes | 17:22 |
| Xintruder | hey guys | 17:22 |
| debian | naitmer: External or internal? | 17:22 |
| naitmer | it is actually to mount drive paritions | 17:22 |
| Xintruder | my ubuntu crashed last night, and earlier today. is this normal? | 17:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: Nope | 17:22 |
| th0r | chuy_ I am looking at it. a 3.6G volume, the VG volume, and the filesystem | 17:22 |
| Skrat | Depends what you were doing | 17:22 |
| chuy_ | What I want, is to remount the sda1 (Vagina Gentium), and then properly mount the 70 or so GB partician that cannot be found. | 17:22 |
| Skrat | (Xintruder) | 17:22 |
| debian | naitmer: By default, ubuntu should have seen the partition at install and setup the drive on the desktop. did you add this partition after instal? | 17:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: What all have you installed outside the official repos? | 17:22 |
| hairulf1 | I'd like to have ubuntu loading in verbose mode, not the progress bar, anyone know how? This is usually pretty simple, but i forgot how | 17:22 |
| th0r | chuy_ the 3.6G volume is part of the sda drive? | 17:22 |
| sverige | what effects gives me the border in compiz fusion ? | 17:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sverige: Ask in #Compiz | 17:23 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: well, the reason it couldn't access that path is because of privileges -- when you run it as a daemon it should have the right privs | 17:23 |
| mrbald | j/#ubuntu-it | 17:23 |
| latinoguy | i have and nvida 7600 graphic card should i use the restriced drivers?? | 17:23 |
| th0r | chuy_ or is it the IDE drive? | 17:23 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: If you want to use 3D | 17:23 |
| Xintruder | Jack_Sparrow: im not sure, All i installed were ubuntu packages, adobe flash thing, and codecs to run youttube | 17:23 |
| naitmer | debian > no, they are partition of the same physical drive, they appear on desktop on my feisty, but not on the gutsy i'm trying | 17:23 |
| latinoguy | bun i read somewhere that it causes some problems | 17:23 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: If you don't want to use 3d applications and the desktop effects you are fine with the default drivers | 17:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: How did you install flash.. which is currently broken per the topic of the channel and how did you install the codec | 17:24 |
| th0r | chuy_ either way...the next step is to right click on the 3.6G icon and choose properties...see what dev or mount point it is using | 17:24 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: Both drivers work perfectly, it's just the free ones don't have 3d acceleration yet | 17:24 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, I don't know what a daemon is. |: | 17:24 |
| debian | naitmer: one sec, there should be something in the users and settings that will allow that | 17:24 |
| chuy_ | th0r: The 3.5GB volume is a part of an 80GB drive I ripped from a Compuke. It is the "recovery sector" set up by Compaq. | 17:24 |
| latinoguy | that is a better idea to install the dirver from terminal | 17:24 |
| MisterChief | bulmer: I've gone through that dialog before, when I've done it goes back to terminal and then if I Ctrl Alt F7 is still says "Low graphics mode" or whatever | 17:24 |
| debian | naitmer: let me look a sec and see | 17:24 |
| naitmer | debian > ok | 17:24 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: You can go to system > administration > restricted drivers | 17:24 |
| Xintruder | Jack_Sparrow: all were automatically using firefox, it searched and installed | 17:24 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: And tick the box next tothe nvidia driver, everything will be done automatically | 17:25 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: it's a program that runs a service -- you set up your machine to start it at boot time and it's always running in the background | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: and it is broken | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues | 17:25 |
| 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. | 17:25 |
| Xintruder | what is ? | 17:25 |
| latinoguy | rbs-tito: thanks for your help, what is your recomendetion? | 17:25 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, like gdm | 17:25 |
| th0r | chuy_ no problem....do the right click and see if you can find what /dev or mountpoint it is using | 17:25 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, then you may have to redo same steps over with different choices till you get a working display, or maybe select the lowest VESA ? | 17:25 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: yep | 17:25 |
| debian | naitmer: unless someone else here knows how to do that, im afraid you cant. By default (and probably for security reasons) mount is required to have root access | 17:25 |
| Skrat | why is it, the command "netapplet" does nothing? :| | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !nvidia > latinoguy | 17:25 |
| MisterChief | Lowest VESA? | 17:26 |
| debian | naitmer: they probably did this so that if a virus/hacker gets onto your computer they wont be able to access your other drives | 17:26 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, k, but still, it didn't save anything. | 17:26 |
| syntaxerror55 | And I don't have a .bitlbee in my /home | 17:26 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: did you start it as a daemon? | 17:26 |
| debian | naitmer: unless they have compromised the root password | 17:26 |

| Xintruder | Jack_Sparrow: how do i avoid crashes before the fix? uninstall something ? | 17:26 |
| latinoguy | Jack_Sparrow, can you explain me what exactly do you mean? | 17:26 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, lowest res is vesa | 17:26 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: If you want to play with compiz and have neat effects, get the restricted. If you don't need that, and don't ever intend to play games or use 3d applications, statricted gives better all round performance though, so if you have no problem with proprietary software go for thatwith the free. I find res | 17:26 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, how? | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | latinoguy: read the link on binary drivers | 17:26 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: I gave you a link | 17:26 |
| naitmer | debian > so how can I give privileges to acces partitions, mounting, etc.. whiout allowing the user to brick her own system | 17:26 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: OK, that message came out weirdly. I hope you get the gist!! | 17:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: you never said how you installed the codec | 17:26 |
| ader10 | When I click on conky, it makes a selection from the other side of the desktop to where I clicked on conky. How do I fix it? | 17:27 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, the old standby default resolution | 17:27 |
| syntaxerror55 | oh, right. Sorry D: | 17:27 |
| Xintruder | Jack_Sparrow: Firefox auto searched, downloaded and installed | 17:27 |
| latinoguy | where is that link? | 17:27 |
| MisterChief | bulmer: Should I just try the default then for all the options? | 17:27 |
| naitmer | debian > that is, without giving her full admin privileges? | 17:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: What part of IT DOES NOT WORK do you not understand | 17:27 |
| debian | naitmer: one sec, thinking.. | 17:27 |
| latinoguy | im new on this world | 17:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Xintruder: Read the link if you want a temp fix | 17:27 |
| debian | naitmer: is there other important documents on those other partitions? | 17:28 |
| th0r | chuy_ when you right click on the icon, choose Properties, and above the graph that appears will be a line beginning 'Volume' I need to know what that says | 17:28 |
| Xintruder | Jack_Sparrow: ok, thanks. | 17:28 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, yeah, you may have to try different combo till you get one you are happy with.. | 17:28 |
| naitmer | debian >yes | 17:28 |
| rbs-tito | latinoguy: If you install restricted, be sure to check out desktop effects in the appearance menu | 17:28 |
| astro76 | naitmer: you just have to add the user option to the line in fstab | 17:28 |
| debian | naitmer: ok i may have a work around | 17:28 |
| kojiro | for my part I can never understand 'it does not work': 1) 'it' is ambiguous; and 2) 'work' is ambiguous | 17:28 |
| astro76 | !fstab | naitmer | 17:28 |
| ubotu | naitmer: 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 | 17:28 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Ok, HERE: http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?27142c244b.png | 17:28 |
| naitmer | debian > i though about the fstab thing | 17:28 |
| latinoguy | rbs-tito: ok thanks im going to use the restricted drives then. | 17:28 |
| debian | naitmer: what you could try doign is, mounting the drive as sudo, then transfering the imprtatnt stuff to the main drive OR to an external company hdd | 17:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MisterChief: Yes accept the default for the rest of the options after you select vesa mode/driver and 1024 for the max res | 17:29 |
| latinoguy | im planing to use the cairo-dock | 17:29 |
| debian | fstab just contains all the drives that are mounted | 17:29 |
| debian | and their uuid | 17:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, it doesn't say anything about it. | 17:29 |
| debian | plus their partition | 17:29 |
| astro76 | debian: you really don't know what you are talking about here | 17:29 |
| MisterChief | Jack_Sparrow: COuld I have possibly going wrong when I choose 1440x900 if I have a widescreen monitor? | 17:29 |

| kojiro | syntaxerror55: please define your 'it's | 17:29 |
| tamgo | Hey guys! I need a wireless PCI NIC (if not, then USB) for my xubuntu computer. Anything with good driver support that you would recommend? | 17:29 |
| elias_ | I want some help | 17:30 |
| bulmer | debian, correction, fstab does not list all the drives mounted, it only list what you would like to have mounted at boot | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MisterChief: If you chose vesa .. yes | 17:30 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Did it load for you? | 17:30 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, the Ubuntu Wiki page | 17:30 |
| th0r | chuy_ click on the Basic tab at the top...and tell me what is next to the word Volume: | 17:30 |
| debian | oh | 17:30 |
| debian | *backs out* | 17:30 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, doesn't say anything about daemons | 17:30 |
| th0r | chuy_ it loads slowly....but I got it | 17:30 |
| debian | well i gtg, cya all later | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MisterChief: 1024 is the max that the all purpose driver veda supports. | 17:30 |
| kojiro | lol | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | vesa | 17:30 |
| astro76 | debian: /etc/mtab shows mounted partitions, the same as the output of mount ;) | 17:30 |
| th0r | chuy_ should be maybe hdb1 or hdb2? maybe | 17:30 |

| astro76 | B-rabbit: you running samba? | 17:32 |

| th0r | chuy_ open a terminal and type 'mount'. If you use pastebin for the text output it will be easier and faster | 17:34 |
| th0r | chuy_ yup...I got the screenshots ok. | 17:34 |
| bulmer | sverige, do you really want any user to own the drive? any user? | 17:34 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, It doesn't say anything about starting Bitlbee as a service. | 17:34 |
| MisterChief | Hmm, so how can I reset all settings to as they were when I first installed ubuntu, while keeping my /home files in tact? | 17:34 |
| eTranquility | Is there an admin that can reset my irc password? I'm having trouble logging in. | 17:34 |

| elias_ | please... "My screen flickers annoyingly when i use open-gl applications in windowed mode, i have 7.10 aka GG and use a ati 2600 HD with the fglrx driver" what do i need 2 d0 2 fix this ? | 17:36 |
| th0r | chuy_ I don't like all those 'unknown's in that last screenshot. If you have nothing of importance on the drive, I would suggest reformatting it. It appears the system doesn't even know exactly what the size of the drive is | 17:36 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, look, do I just need to chown /var/lib/bitlbee to myself? | 17:36 |

| ikonia | chuy_: where you not in here the last 2 days talking about this mount problem ? | 17:37 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: sorry, I'm pretty new to ubuntu specifically -- it seems they use xinetd to run bitlbee, which is weird because I read that bitlbee failed at xinited | 17:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphe: I have never heard of that command.. where did you find it? | 17:37 |
| jay_ | is sendmail a good MTA for ubuntu 7.10? | 17:37 |
| kane77 | all of sudden my numpad doesn't type numbers but move mouse.. how do I turn it off?? | 17:37 |
| bulmer | jay_, sendmail is the workhorse | 17:37 |
| ikonia | kojiro: xeinetd is a daemon that can spawn and kill daemons under it | 17:37 |
| elias_ | ;[ | 17:37 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, ah, ok. | 17:37 |
| chuy_ | ikonia: sure have been. First my SATA, now my IDE. | 17:37 |
| MisterChief | kane77: Num Lock should do the trick | 17:37 |
| kojiro | syntaxerror55: anyway, a good understanding of how services and daemons work on ubuntu might be useful for you to know... | 17:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ankur: what file system type? ntfs or ext3 | 17:37 |
| kojiro | ikonia: I know | 17:37 |
| orphe | Jack_Sparrow: dont remember , but usualy to reconfigure a pkg u use dpkg-reconfigure | 17:38 |
| th0r | chuy_ no problem, we will see about finding the files...give me a sec | 17:38 |
| ikonia | chuy_: is there any chance you can change your disk volume name as from the outside it looks like you are making this problem up to keep repeating the rude name of the disk | 17:38 |
| ankur | Jack_Sparrow, its ext3 on 7.10 | 17:38 |
| th0r | Ropechoborra let me finish this one first...it is kinda tricky | 17:38 |
| kane77 | MisterChief, no, unfortunately it doesn't | 17:38 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, probably. D: I'll read about it later. But I think using chown is the quick way to fix it | 17:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | orphe: Rolling back any OS is not easy.. which is why we suggest backups.. | 17:38 |
| Ropechoborra | Sure =) | 17:38 |
| stercor | My cursor disappears when I logoff/login. It's back after a restart. What do I need to diagnose and fix this? | 17:39 |

| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, it doesn't | 17:39 |
| |Art| | general question: how is virtualization under ubuntu, with zen? I've heard you can run a windows hvm with accelerated graphics, specifically directx, if you move the accelerator to ring1 (I'm not sure how it works, haven't tried it yet, but wondering if I should). | 17:39 |

TFT and TV are botrh seperated X desktops, now i've got the problem, that i.e. popups, menüs etc are laggy in the TFT, they appear about 2 seconds after clicking the button. On the TV its all right.... Anyone an idea what that is?! heres my xorg.conf if needed: http://nopaste.info/0832bcf4cf.html | 17:39 |
| ikonia | |Art|: hardware acceleration under any virtualisation is suspect. | 17:39 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ankur: ext3 may be going into read only due to error condition on the drive... but someone else will have a way to check it.. most likely, livecd and fschk ... | 17:39 |
| MisterChief | I try to copy ~/ to another computer directory, it says "cp: Omitting directory: /home/andy" | 17:40 |
| ankur | rudihawk, use xchat | 17:40 |
| Xintruder | How can I uinstall gnash ? | 17:40 |
| ikonia | jay_: as a basic mta relay - it's quite easy/basic anything more requires quite complex setup | 17:40 |
| rudihawk | thanks ankur | 17:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ankur: Do not fsck a mounted drive... | 17:40 |
| ikonia | chuy_: the word it spells out is rude and not appropriate for a family channel | 17:40 |
| th0r | chuy_ ok...in a terminal first type 'sudo mkdir /media/tempmount' then type 'sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /media/tempmount' | 17:40 |
| |Art| | ikonia, any other information on it? I've heard from other sources that the mapping of graphics memory is suspect in a virtualization system. | 17:40 |
| bulmer | chuy_, rename it to Phallus and maybe some will be happy (ier) heh! | 17:40 |
| bulmer | just kiddin | 17:41 |
| Xintruder | how can I uninstall gnash? | 17:41 |
| chuy_ | ikonia: Google it. http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/vagina-gentium/ | 17:41 |
| ikonia | |Art|: thats very true, the hardware accelration in virutalisation is touch and go. I don't believe it at all | 17:41 |
| MewRS | i have a stupid question.... but i have to ask! :P Do linux ignore the whitespaces at fstab or i cannot do many ENTERS? | 17:41 |
| ankur | Jack_Sparrow, ok I won't . apparently fsck doesn't show error | 17:41 |
| th0r | ikonia actually he is correct, it is a latin term that isn't offensive...but the masses probably won't cut any slack for being too educated | 17:41 |
| ikonia | chuy_: I don't need to google it, the word is in appropriate. | 17:41 |
| zuriv | Xintruder: sudo apt-get remove gnash | 17:41 |
| jay_ | ikonia, ive done a default install any tips on what i should do to configure it as a basic mta relay | 17:41 |
| chuy_ | ikonia: Sorry for offending you. | 17:41 |
| bulmer | MewRS, you can not have many enters | 17:41 |
| chuy_ | bulmer: :) | 17:41 |
| ikonia | th0r: the general term, known by the masses will see it as the inappropirate phrase. | 17:41 |
| th0r | chuy_ you have to learn to emulate an acceptable level of stupidity <smile> | 17:42 |
| |Art| | ikonia, would I be able to test my current install with a live disk. AKA could I throw a live disk in, built with zen, and boot up my current windows install as a hvm without damaging it? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | th0r: it's nothing to do with being "stupid" it's how the majority of users will see it and it is not appropriate for a family friendly channel | 17:42 |
| th0r | chuy_ did you get that last about the two sudo commands? | 17:42 |
| MisterChief | WHen I use cp to copy my ~/ files to another computer directory, it says "cp: Omitting directory: /home/andy", and it wont copy. What can I do? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | |Art|: I wouldn't advise doing virtualisation from a livecd | 17:42 |
| g0rbeh | any wine pros here? MY sound was working fine until i restarted the app, now it always fails the test: I have a c-media CM8738 based sound card | 17:42 |

| MisterChief | bulmer: I don't quite understand what it says, should I write the command I'm using here to see what's going wrong? | 17:46 |
| |Art| | ikonia, thanks for the help. Guess I'll just have to try it out myself. I may be back xD | 17:47 |

| DarkenedSoul | I have a little question myself, my C drive is a little full and moving everything might be a pain, I was wondering if I could use my other internal hard drive to boot from with out much problems? | 17:47 |
| chuy_ | syntaxerror55: sry... Thought it was one long line, not 4 seperate. | 17:47 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, just look for the option that allows you to copy directories or subdirectories | 17:47 |
| th0r | chuy_ use pastebin for anything more than one line. next try....type 'fdisk -l /dev/hdb' and pastebin the output if it is more than one line | 17:47 |
| WinMac | I put in my Xubuntu 7.10, select "Start or Install Xubuntu", the Linux Kernal loads, then the Xubuntu logo shows up, and the loading bar moves back and forth, then i get a "BusyBox v1.1.3" How can I install Xubuntu?? the cd worked on my other computer. | 17:48 |
| th0r | chuy_ (that is a lower case L not a 1 <smile>) | 17:48 |
| bulmer | DarkenedSoul, moving is always a pain..but someone has to do it | 17:48 |
| Ropechoborra | WinMac Is it a laptop ? (just for curiosity) | 17:48 |
| syntaxerror55 | kojiro, anyway, it works fine now :D I think I may report that package bug to launchpad | 17:48 |
| DarkenedSoul | So installing on D would cause problem then? | 17:48 |
| WinMac | nope | 17:48 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Cannot open /dev/hdb | 17:49 |
| Ropechoborra | WinMac it just hangs in the Ubuntu logo? | 17:49 |
| bulmer | DarkenedSoul, nope, what do you have ? how many drives? where do you want to install? | 17:49 |
| WinMac | no, it goes to the "BusyVox v1.1.3" | 17:49 |
| WinMac | BusyBox* | 17:49 |
| Xintruder | Jack_Sparrow: I installed the temporary fix in the link you provided. Do you advice me on anything? | 17:49 |
| DarkenedSoul | I have 2 internal smaller drives and a larger external hard drive. | 17:49 |
| bulmer | DarkenedSoul, kindly respond with a prefix of my nick or i will miss your responses | 17:50 |
| DarkenedSoul | And I was thinking of using my drive D (about 20gb) as basicly my linux drive. | 17:50 |
| Flare183 | What are the permissions for a floppy supposed to be if there is only one user? | 17:50 |
| MisterChief | bulmer: do I want "copy directories recursively"? | 17:50 |
| DarkenedSoul | bulmer, sorry. | 17:50 |
| th0r | chuy_ really! it has part of it mounted but can't see the drive! I am afraid the system can't read that drive as it is...I suspect because it has a recovery partition or some such. Anyway, if you need the files I would try accessing the drive in windows and moving them elsewhere. I think you are going to have to repartition and reformat that drive to get it working in ubuntu...sorry | 17:50 |
| bulmer | MisterChief, yeah so it can copy everything | 17:51 |
| Ropechoborra | Flare183 +rwx i guess | 17:51 |

| MisterChief | bulmer: how do I exit that manual page? | 17:51 |
| Tm_T | MisterChief: q | 17:51 |
| DarkenedSoul | bulmer: I have 2 internal harddrives, both 20gb and a larger 300gb external. I was thinking about using my slaved internal hard drive to run Linux off of instead of messing around with partitions on C, but I was wondering if the bootloading and everything would still be fine. | 17:52 |
| pg | How can I make dhclient execute without requiring a password? I added the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dialout" in /etc/vsudoers using visudo, and I am in the dialout group. But it still asks me for a password. | 17:52 |
| MisterChief | Thanks | 17:52 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief Yeap =) It is like cp -R /home/user/folder /destination | 17:52 |

| haymaker | my clock keeps going out of whack, can anyone help? | 17:52 |
| Ropechoborra | MisterChief Control + Q will do | 17:52 |
| Tm_T | Ropechoborra: no need to ctrl | 17:52 |
| haymaker | i have ntp installed, but it doesnt seem to work | 17:52 |
| Ropechoborra | Ops :$ | 17:52 |
| punkshui | ikonia ? | 17:52 |
| th0r | chuy_ understood. I wouldn't jump in there and dump it yet. Try rebooting, if it is a dual boot computer try booting into windows.... | 17:52 |
| bulmer | DarkenedSoul, its should still be fine, you may have to adjust your mobo Bios to tell which drive to boot from | 17:52 |
| navlop | trying to connect to server using ssh and i get an error msg saying 192.168.23.200 port 22 : connection refused | 17:53 |
| jojjo | dont dual boot its dangerous | 17:53 |
| Tm_T | jojjo: erm? | 17:53 |
| chuy_ | Windows hangs, that's why I want to reformat that drive. | 17:53 |
| ankur | :-( | 17:53 |
| Ropechoborra | Tm_T Im kind of forgeting all those things since i can make ubuntu run on my laptop =( | 17:53 |
| Tm_T | navlop: is ssh server running there | 17:53 |
| chuy_ | th0r: Windows hangs, that's why I want to reformat that drive. | 17:53 |
| bulmer | navlop, is the server active to serve ssh? | 17:53 |
| th0r | chuy_ and check the bios settings and make sure it is set as the slave drive...there is definitely something weird going on with that drive | 17:53 |
| Xintruder | guys, i have a white box in the middle of my screen, no idea whats that. any suggestions? | 17:53 |
| DarkenedSoul | bulmer, so instead of the bootloader i would have to go into bios to change the boot order? | 17:53 |
| navlop | oh, forgot...lol sorry for dumb question | 17:54 |
| th0r | chuy_ I would even go as far as to open the box and make sure the connectors are properly seated and such. The way it is half way recognized means something strange has happened | 17:54 |
| th0r | chuy_ but it may be that the drive has crashed and reformatting is the only way out. | 17:54 |
| bulmer | DarkenedSoul, possibly the combination of both, bios is the common denominator, if you tell bios NO..well it wont do what you want to do in software | 17:54 |
| Xintruder | :( | 17:54 |
| pg | navlop: are you sure the server has its /etc/networks set up to allow connections from your domain, you have an account on the sever and you typed in the right username and password? | 17:54 |
| MewRS | bumer: only entry, comment, entry, comment? | 17:54 |
| chuy_ | th0r: I'll be back in a bit | 17:55 |
| th0r | chuy_ you did use sudo with those commands, right? | 17:55 |
| DarkenedSoul | bulmer: Okay, thanks. I guess I'm going to go and start experimenting :D | 17:55 |

| bulmer | b4d look you have several interfaces here, do you want them connected to same router/gateway? | 18:04 |
| astro76 | alsadk10: yes and it's dangerous and unnecessary | 18:05 |
| alsadk10 | but what i can do? | 18:05 |
| b4d | bulmer: i don't understand why, because i have only 2 physical cards connected | 18:05 |

| alsadk10 | astro76: what i can do for resize? | 18:05 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: you could find the process causing it using "top" perhaps, and then use the Kill command in top | 18:05 |
| Moduliz01 | can someone guide me through compiling and installing the spca5xx (webcam) driver from http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html ? | 18:05 |
| bulmer | b4d, okay you said you have two nics, do they have to be connected to same router? | 18:05 |
| navlop | Can someone tell me how to setup secondary screen | 18:06 |
| Xintruder | top ??? | 18:06 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: it'll take a little trial and error to find it probably | 18:06 |
| b4d | bulmer: no, wlan0 is on router, eth0 goes to internal network | 18:06 |
| ader10 | Moduliz01: Have you compiled before? | 18:06 |

| Leo1989 | navlop: System -> Administration -> Screens and Graphics | 18:07 |
| bulmer | b4d so your box will be acting as a router/gateway for your internal clients? what will be connected to eth0? | 18:07 |
| Moduliz01 | well i've downloaded + extracted it, shall I just try make or make install? | 18:07 |
| b4d | bulmer: yes, switch that has other computers on it | 18:08 |
| alsadk10 | astro76: did u accept privet chat | 18:08 |
| alsadk10 | ? | 18:08 |
| miccet | ankur, did you run a check on the file system_ | 18:08 |
| bulmer | b4d come again? | 18:08 |
| astro76 | alsadk10: no I have that disabled, ask in the channel | 18:08 |
| navlop | Leo1989, did that but when i select second monitor it turn off 1stt minotor | 18:08 |
| ankur | miccet, yup i did, there was no errors ( I did fsck) | 18:08 |
| miccet | and what is the fstab line for it? | 18:09 |
| alsadk10 | astro76: ok did u know what i can do | 18:09 |
| b4d | bulmer: internet - wlan0 - eth0 - laptop | 18:09 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: learn the "top" command using a terminal. type "top", then when the program is up, type "u" and then your user name for processes under your user name, then use the "k" (kill) command and type the number of the process you think it might be. Either that or perhaps there's a kill function in the menu somewhere for that white window. | 18:09 |
| ankur | miccet, does error forces it to remount as read only? | 18:09 |
| navlop | my video card is a all-in wonder with vga and hdmi connector | 18:09 |
| ader10 | Moduliz01: you do ./configure, then make, then sudo checkinstall | 18:09 |
| miccet | yea it can | 18:09 |
| astro76 | alsadk10: you should log out, log back in as your user, then system > administration > partition editor as a first step | 18:09 |
| bulmer | b4d sorry, how did you go from wlan0 to eth0 ? | 18:09 |
| miccet | ankur, did you check dmesg for r/w errors? | 18:09 |
| ader10 | Moduliz01: you might have to do sudo aptitude install checkinstall first | 18:09 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: does the white window come up every time it boots? | 18:09 |
| Xintruder | well when I rebooted, it came up after i selected update manager | 18:10 |
| Moduliz01 | what is checkinstall? | 18:10 |
| lukapus323 | hi? | 18:10 |
| ankur | miccet, I did dmesg but I didn't understand if there were any error | 18:10 |
| astro76 | !checkinstall | Moduliz01 | 18:10 |
| b4d | bulmer: it seems that can't run them both at the same time, but that's wired | 18:10 |
| Moduliz01 | ? | 18:10 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: i see..hmmm do you think update-manager is hung up or something? | 18:10 |
| Moduliz01 | ubotu lag? | 18:10 |
| ubotu | Moduliz01: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:11 |
| Xintruder | n6hgg: it does not appear at startup right away | 18:11 |

| Moduliz01 | now how do I use it? | 18:11 |
| astro76 | n0neknows: tip, use regular xchat, because #xchat won't help you with xchat-gnome | 18:11 |
| Xintruder | n6hgg: also, when that happens i see characters in the background | 18:11 |
| b4d | bulmer: i'm trying to bridge them with firestarter | 18:11 |

| rbanffy | So... Since nobody seems interested in my networking problem, is there another place I could ask for help with a ubuntu desktop that's misbehaving with a D-Link router? | 18:12 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: well, I guess do a little digging with top and other system monitors, and maybe you can find out what program is causing it and then kill it and then disable it somehow. Other than that I'm clueless | 18:12 |
| tuxice | hi im wondering.... in gutsy when i login how come my user and pass are huge | 18:12 |
| bulmer | b4d, you want to bridge them? but then you will not get the router capabilities you wanted... | 18:12 |
| n0neknows | astro76: how do i get regular xchat on ubuntu? | 18:12 |
| astro76 | n0neknows: in synaptic search for xchat, or sudo apt-get install xchat | 18:12 |

On the TV its all right.... Anyone an idea what that is?! heres my xorg.conf if needed: http://nopaste.info/0832bcf4cf.html - Im a totally linux noob :> using ubuntu with gnome.

| KurtKraut | How can I allow a user to run a script with root privileges without asking giving him permission to be a root as a whole (like sudo does) ? | 18:14 |
| Xintruder | its definitly something related to compiz... | 18:15 |
| b4d | bulmer: switch | 18:15 |
| bulmer | KurtKraut, do you some miscreant run scripts as root? :) | 18:15 |
| n6hgg | Xintruder: excellent, well you are on your way to finding out what it is hopefully. I usually find stuff like that only by stumbling along and finding things by accident. | 18:15 |
| ditoa | It has an Intel X3100 graphics adapter, I have had a google around and the feedback on how well supported it is are mixed. | 18:15 |
| bulmer | b4d okay, you enable ip_forward on your pc and activate NAT | 18:16 |
| Johan-_ | KurtKraut: sudo doesn't actually give a user root access, you can configure it do do what you want. But have no idea how :) | 18:16 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sudoers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:16 |
| astro76 | hm | 18:16 |
| bulmer | b4d also you have to assign static ip address to your eth0 | 18:16 |
| ankur | miccet, is there any way I can show you my dmesg report file | 18:16 |
| b4d | bulmer: how do i do that? | 18:16 |
| KurtKraut | astro76, if I add the user to sudoers he will do anything as root. I want just to allow him to run a single script as root. | 18:17 |

| jc-denton | hi all | 18:39 |
| zetotof | hello everybody | 18:39 |
| FactTech | emma You have to log in on the text terminal, run the sudo dpkg-reconfigure command, and go through the process of telling the setup program about your video card, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. | 18:39 |
| Kuni1 | navlop... give me a sec I'll give you a website that can walk you through it | 18:40 |
| jc-denton | i have a question concerning the proprietary ati drivers | 18:40 |

| jc-denton | i manually installed the drivers some months ago | 18:40 |
| Jowi | RenatoSilva: make uninstall? | 18:40 |
| FactTech | emma After that, you can try to start X up with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start", and you should get a graphical login screen. | 18:40 |
| astro76 | !gparted | alsadk10 I would try the gparted livecd | 18:40 |

| zetotof | jrib: how do i request a backport? | 18:47 |
| bruenig | MisterChief, yeah I don't understand your backslashes | 18:47 |
| Jowi | RenatoSilva: depends on the script. if not you will have to remove the dirs it installed to manually (you did specify a --prefix no?). Personally I tend to use checkinstall instead of make install. | 18:47 |
| sint | wicd is also showing nothing | 18:47 |
| Amerio | kunil: any help? | 18:47 |
| jrib | !backport > zetotof (read the private message from ubotu) | 18:47 |
| Jowi | !checkinstall | RenatoSilva | 18:47 |
| ubotu | RenatoSilva: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:47 |

| Kuni1 | whiting, for your login goto System->Preferences->Sessions, that first part is startup progs/scripts | 18:49 |

| bruenig | sint, the interface is up right? ifconfig ath0 up | 18:49 |
| latinoguy | did you install ntfs-3gs and afterwards you configure that app | 18:49 |
| FactTech | MisterChief No, whatever directory you do the smbclient from is your starting linux directory. | 18:49 |
| latinoguy | then try to restart and see if it works | 18:49 |

| bruenig | sint, so just need to bring it up then? I know some cards require that, I thought wicd brought cards up though automaticaly | 18:50 |
| FactTech | MisterChief This might be a lot easier to do with a graphical interface. Which version of Ubuntu are you using (plain, Kubuntu, Xubuntu)? | 18:50 |
| Jowi | RenatoSilva: ./configure --prefix=... lets you decide an install directory. very useful. | 18:51 |
| bruenig | sint, did you change the preferences in wicd? by default I think it uses wlan0, you need to change that | 18:51 |

| Horgrathi | Can anyone help me with a mic problem? | 18:54 |
| FactTech | MisterChief You replace SERVER with the name of your server and SHARE with the name of the share. | 18:55 |

| alsadk10 | thx | 18:59 |
| bruenig | sint_, once you have changed wicd to use ath0, it should bring up the interface for you, it brings up my interface automatically, so you should just be able to launch that and click through everything | 18:59 |

| klrtmto | has anyone ever had a problem with ndiswrapper spitting out "adding encryption key 1 failed" on shutdown? | 19:03 |
| FactTech | MisterChief if you want to transfer a ton of stuff, I recommend creating a compressed tarball of it so you can just send it all at once. | 19:03 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Otherwise you'll have to do it directory-by-directory -- probably too much hassle. | 19:04 |
| Squintz | This room is out of hand today. I'll check back later. | 19:04 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: I only want to transfer ~/ | 19:04 |
| Dr_willis | seems like a slow day here today. :) | 19:04 |
| jrib | Squintz: try "recovery mode" at the grub menu | 19:04 |
| astro76 | marcotmarcot: it says applicatoin software, firmware and fonts are not application software | 19:04 |
| klrtmto | Dr_willis_: heh, yeah | 19:05 |
| FactTech | MisterChief "man tarball" and "man zip" will tell you all you need to know (along with "man smbclient"), but for shortcuts, I think you'd want the following: | 19:05 |
| Kasplatt | what does it mean when -nonfree is on the end of a package ? | 19:05 |
| Squintz | jrib: how do I do that? | 19:05 |
| jrib | !free | Kasplatt | 19:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dr_willis: The US Football Playoffs | 19:05 |
| ubotu | Kasplatt: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 19:05 |
| marcotmarcot | astro76: So, that's why firefox is still in main? | 19:05 |
| Kasplatt | ahh , so it's just closed source and stuff ? | 19:05 |
| jrib | Kasplatt: not free as in free speech | 19:05 |
| FactTech | MisterChief to create a tar of everything in your home directory, "tar -cvvf <name of tar file> <directory>" | 19:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MisterChief: What are you trying to transfer.. and to where.. a different partition? | 19:05 |

| pg | brobostigon: you mean chmod a+x /sbin/dhclient? It's already -rwxr-rx-x. | 19:06 |
| jrib | Squintz: you should get a grub menu when you boot your computer (before the ubuntu splash screen). If not, try pressing ESC to get to it | 19:06 |
| FactTech | MisterChief to compress that tarfile, "zip <name of compressed file> <name of tarfile>" | 19:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jp: YEs, but you may want to look at restricted/binary drivers | 19:06 |
| apal | at first it'll use the free driver, then if you want to use the 3D accel you'll have the ability to choose the proprietary driver, jp | 19:07 |
| whiting | has anyone got seti working on ubuntu? | 19:07 |

| jp | Jack_Sparrow: this link shows me how to enable nvidia drivers after ubuntu is installed, i do not have ubuntu installed at this point | 19:10 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Jack_Sparrow has a point -- when you reinstall you should create a separate partition for /home if you don't have one. | 19:10 |
| tuxice | lol sweet | 19:10 |
| apal | good evening everyone | 19:10 |
| MisterChief | Jack_Sparrow: the only trouble is that if I want to reinstall, I have to grab a CD drive from another computer and put it on, then run the disk | 19:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | MisterChief: If you want to clone your existing install we have a help page for that | 19:10 |

| RenatoSilva | Seveas: Wiki doesn't accept my Launchpad account | 19:16 |
| Seveas | Kuni1, you messed up with manually installing binary drivers | 19:16 |
| FactTech | MisterChief So after you back up your files, what did you plan to do then? | 19:16 |
| RenatoSilva | Seveas: I'm already logged on Launchpad | 19:16 |
| Kuni1 | I followed the instructions on nvidias site step by step... | 19:16 |
| Seveas | RenatoSilva, ask for assistance on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/ | 19:16 |
| Pici | jaggy: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file for me? | 19:16 |
| Kuni1 | I can redo it, but what do I do first to clean it all up? | 19:16 |
| jaggy | ok pici | 19:17 |
| Xintruder | guys, is firefox the best browser.... ? | 19:17 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: I'm not sure, either wait for my brother to come home and put the CD drive on it and reinstall, or just try random command lines to try and get it going | 19:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kuni1: Please provide a description of the problem instead of posting an unkonw link | 19:17 |
| Kuni1 | Xintruder I think so | 19:17 |
| Kasplatt | Xintruder: imo , yes . | 19:17 |
| Seveas | Kuni1, you shouldn't. Ubuntu provides drivers | 19:17 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Your basic issue is that you can't get your graphical interface up? | 19:17 |
| astro76 | carina: easiest way is to install openssh-server, then you have ssh and sftp | 19:17 |
| jaggy | Pici :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50997/ | 19:17 |
| Seveas | to clean up, follow nvidias removal instructions | 19:17 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: ye | 19:17 |
| Kuni1 | Seveas if that were true... I wouldn't have had to go to Nvidia to get the right ones and actually see anything | 19:17 |
| Seveas | then reinstall the ubuntu drivers | 19:17 |
| Pici | jaggy: okay, give me a minute to take a look | 19:17 |

| XLV | brobostigon, and who said intel macs treat hdd apm differently? you might want to check it, also i have seen incidents about that problem on OSX | 19:22 |
| eckesicle | jesus. fscd is a nightmare to compile | 19:22 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: plain ubuntu 7.10 | 19:22 |
| pg | angel: apt-cache search speech | 19:23 |
| XLV | Jack_Sparrow, why not? its a real problem, and at least in ubuntu the fix is easy | 19:23 |

| carina | is sftp install when u intall openssh? | 19:23 |
| jaggy | pici again its stuckt here = http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50998/ | 19:23 |
| astro76 | carina: yes | 19:24 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Did you restart the computer or restart X manually? | 19:24 |
| angel | hi Pici, how do i run espeak | 19:24 |
| astro76 | carina: openssh-server | 19:24 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: Restarted the computer | 19:24 |
| tssom | Xintruder: my latptop seems ot get alot warmer in ubuntu aswell | 19:24 |
| FactTech | MisterChief All the config program does is write the new xorg.conf file. | 19:24 |
| tssom | to* | 19:24 |
| pg | Xintruder: that's possible. If you have a dual boot, you can test the time it takes to discharge the battery in Windows and in Linux. | 19:24 |
| Pici | angel: Its a terminal program, type `man espeak` to learn how to use it | 19:24 |
| carina | sftp is command | 19:24 |
| FactTech | MisterChief "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" does nothing? | 19:24 |
| astro76 | carina: yeah right... sftp is in openssh, the server is in openssh-server | 19:25 |
| Xintruder | I don't have dual boot, since this is possible. How can I solve this problem? And is this dangerouse to my laptop hardware? | 19:25 |
| zanth | good day, it seems after a recent update I lost sound | 19:25 |
| angel | Pici, wow, man is cool | 19:25 |
| angel | pici can i man just about anything? | 19:25 |
| zanth | I'm not sure how to go about figuring out how to get it back | 19:25 |
| Kuni1 | Xintruder whats the problem? It's been my experiience that linux lasts longer on laptops than XP | 19:25 |
| Pici | angel: indeed :) | 19:25 |
| tssom | Xintruder: i think i have seen a topic about it on ubuntu forums. you should go search it | 19:25 |
| carina | sftp same as scp? | 19:25 |
| jaggy | Pici : you got the link ? 0% [ making connection whit ip (ip) ] | 19:25 |
| pg | angel: you mean espeak? I don't see a package called espeach. But "dpkg -L <packagename>" will show you the files in the package | 19:25 |
| Parsec300 | Anybody here trying to get Newsleecher to work on Ubuntu? | 19:25 |
| Pici | jaggy: I did, let me look at it | 19:25 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Do you have admin access to this machine? If you can't sudo, that might be the issue. | 19:26 |
| jaggy | k | 19:26 |
| harm | I installed XP, and now grub has been reset, so i reset it again but now it boots directly into Ubuntu.. no choice menu whatsoever? howto fix? | 19:26 |
| astro76 | carina: no, it's different, scp is useful to copy file(s) as a single command | 19:26 |
| brobostigon | linux certainly lasts longer than mac os x on my mac laptop | 19:26 |
| Kuni1 | if you google for linux and laptop you should find info on how to make it last even longer | 19:26 |
| astro76 | carina: sort of like cp ;) | 19:26 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: I have root access, and that command didn't work | 19:26 |
| Xintruder | Kuni1: i was saying i think my laptops overheats faster in ubuntu, like much faster its hot and not comfortable to put on my laps. | 19:26 |
| Xintruder | i was told that is possible | 19:26 |
| XLV | Jack_Sparrow, btw i think its not restricted to ubuntu, i have seen same behavior on XP, anyhow, if you feel anyone who runs ( at least for me ) any OS on their laptop, doesnt need to know that its drive is deteriorating, sometimes 2 or 3 times a min when the counter is about 600K, i wont point to that problem again | 19:26 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: it loaded GDM, but still in low graphics mode | 19:26 |
| angel | OMG THIS IS COOL! | 19:26 |
| carina | with sftp you copy batch of files is that the different? | 19:26 |
| FactTech | MisterChief "low graphics mode" meaning low resolution GUI? | 19:26 |
| harm | Xintruder: maby get some temperature measurer or check fan speeds? | 19:26 |
| astro76 | carina: sftp is what is used to browse a remote server, like with gnome's file manager, or winscp or filezilla on windows | 19:27 |
| astro76 | carina: I'm not that familiar with sftp on the command line | 19:27 |
| tssom | harm: you know of a sidepanel that shows you that? | 19:27 |
| Xintruder | harm: temp measurer, is that heardware or software????? | 19:27 |
| carina | oh there is a gui for sftp? | 19:27 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: a dialog box says "Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode" and switches back to tty1 or whatever it is | 19:27 |
| harm | tssom: pretty sure gdesklets will have something to suit your needs.. | 19:27 |
| FactTech | MisterChief did you try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" (instead of "start")? | 19:28 |
| astro76 | carina: most ftp programs, gftp, and the others I mentioned | 19:28 |
| harm | Xintruder: most motherboards have temperature sensors on them anyway.. | 19:28 |
| carina | i c | 19:28 |
| tssom | harm: but it's not as cool looking as the others i've seen. the others i've seen shows you tcp traffic etc.. i've been looking for it, but i cant find it | 19:28 |
| Pici | jaggy: Are you able to access the internet at all on that computer? | 19:28 |
| harm | tssom: cant u help there.. | 19:28 |
| Kuni1 | Xintruder do that google search.. I used to have it but my last XP crash corrupted all my FX settings and I lost it(hence I switched fully to linux), but there's some info out there about making linux laptops much better with battery usage and such that might help | 19:28 |

| MisterChief | FactTech: no it's a graphical dialog box, but that's the only graphical bit available | 19:31 |
| MenZa | the7thmagus: You have to remove it from /boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:31 |

| jaggy | Pici, | 19:31 |
| Xintruder | Lets say my laptop does overheat alot with ubuntu, can that damage my laptop technically? | 19:31 |
| jaggy | so what you think | 19:31 |
| nickrud | the7thmagus, no, you'll just have a non-functioning reference to windows in the grub menu; you can remove that stanza from /boot/grub/menu.lst if you like | 19:31 |
| Kuni1 | excessive heat is bad | 19:31 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Can you see your mouse pointer on tty7? | 19:31 |
| Dr_willis | the7thmagus, it 'shouldent' - of course its not too hard to fix grub. :) but as long as you make a new partition in its place. it shouldent mess things up | 19:31 |
| jaggy | btw | 19:31 |
| doctajoyce | well i was here yesturday and i was reccomended to install xbubntu alt | 19:31 |

| adam_ | Is there some kind of software amplifier in apt? Even with the volume all the way up, I can't seem to get more than the level of a whisper out of my speakers, and I know the speakers can get a lot louder. | 19:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | the7thmagus: what will happen is you will change your uuid's and then not get into ubuntu.. | 19:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 19:32 |
| 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) | 19:32 |
| FactTech | MisterChief OK, so X is up then. If you scroll to the side of the screen (at the edge), does the "low graphics" dialog box move? | 19:33 |
| eckesicle | Is there a handwriting recognition package for unix yet? | 19:33 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, changing one partition type changes all uuid's!!?? | 19:33 |

| jaggy | Pici, to be honest , i'm on that comp now XD | 19:33 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: no | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: All partions past the one you change .. yes, that is my understanding | 19:33 |
| pg | erawfish:, MenZa: for some reason network manager drops the connection with my network card, so I have to run dhclient manually. It's already set up as "auto wlan0" in etc/network/interfaces. In /etc/sudoers, I have the line "dialout ALL = (dialout) NOPASSWD: /sbin/dhclient | 19:33 |

| Montego | Generic cool. What about xserver do I need that when I reboot? | 19:38 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: How can I boot in safe graphics mode? I don't think I get the chance to | 19:38 |
| phenom | !beagledOk, does any one know why, beagled keeps taking up most of my resources? It is published that it happens, but not why it happens. | 19:38 |
| MagicDuck | foug: if you are in gnome-terminal, there is an option in preferences | 19:38 |
| Generic | Montego, only if you plan on using strictly command line | 19:38 |
| FactTech | When the machine first starts up and you get the GRUB menu, there should be a safe graphics mode entry to try. | 19:38 |
| hikenboot | greetings all ---I am having trouble getting the nvidia video drivers to work I have tried the glx and glxnew and the nvidia driver from the vendor it goes from kdm login acts like its going to log in and then drops out. | 19:38 |
| hikenboot | anyone know where there is a log file that might tell me whats going on? | 19:38 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: I think it auto-boots to normal | 19:38 |
| Montego | Oh no not me ,LOL Will try it out thanks. | 19:38 |
| Ttech | I got a question for you. Why is it when ever I do anything that requires graphics (3d) eg Celestia) the menus start flashing and go beind the grahpics and us. And the sceensafer has the same flashing issue too. | 19:39 |
| Xintruder | Guys whenever I use update manager, I get a white box in the middle I cant get rid of. The cause is compiz, but I don't know how to stop it???? | 19:39 |

| Horgrathi | Can anyone help me with a mic problem? | 19:39 |
| Laurenceb | hi all | 19:39 |
| MagicDuck | fough: it's called 'show menubar by default in new terminals' and it's in the general tab | 19:39 |
| Pici | jaggy: Still, none of those addresses match that address either. Have you used any other third party repostories, like automatix? | 19:39 |
| FactTech | MisterChief You could try creating an additional entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:39 |
| Laurenceb | I have gnash installed, but its not working brilliantly | 19:39 |
| jaggy | no wait | 19:40 |
| Laurenceb | I've also got adobe flash player installed | 19:40 |
| Laurenceb | but firefox uses gnash | 19:40 |
| Jowi | Xintruder: try in a terminal: metacity --replace | 19:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hikenboot: Drop the color depth in xorg and see if the problem goes away.. Sorry I cant help more. But I am watching the games today | 19:40 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: what is the command for that? | 19:40 |
| Xintruder | Jowi: that disable compiz didnt it? | 19:41 |
| MagicDuck | Laurenceb: how do you know you have adobe flash player installed | 19:41 |
| Jowi | Xintruder: it will temporary replace the window decorator with metacity (default for gnome), yes | 19:41 |
| quinton | Can anyone help me with this pathetic skipping noise accuring over all of my sound...? | 19:42 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Well, let's see... first you'll want to back up the file "sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup-safe" | 19:42 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, just broke up an empty ext3 partition into two, both are before root and home. Off I go ... | 19:42 |
| MagicDuck | Laurenceb: it didn't work for me from the repository | 19:42 |
| Xintruder | Jowi: I do want to use compiz... :/ | 19:42 |
| hikenboot | Jack_Sparrow, thanks I will try that problem is it was working same color depth | 19:42 |
| MagicDuck | Laurenceb: go to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins; there should be a file called libflashplayer.so | 19:43 |
| Jowi | Xintruder: oh, not at all? I don't use gnome so I don't know where it is located now... perhaps in the system preferences menu. "desktop effects" I think it's called... | 19:43 |
| hikenboot | anyone else in here know a way to force a reinstall of Ubuntu without destroying home directory | 19:43 |
| Jowi | Xintruder: I could be wrong (someone correct me if needed) | 19:43 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: done the backu | 19:43 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure it is a "safe graphics mode", just a recovery mode. | 19:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hikenboot: NExt time you reinstall... create a second partition for /home ... works well | 19:43 |
| hikenboot | I am using gutsy | 19:43 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: wouldn't recovery mode be a good idea as well? | 19:43 |
| FactTech | MisterChief I don't think it would change your situation much. | 19:44 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| Jowi | hikenboot: if you created a separate /home during install you can use the same /home partition in the next install. simply *do not format it*. | 19:44 |
| hikenboot | ah so just reinstall and dont overwrite the /home partition and then switch them? | 19:44 |
| compengi | how to execute *.sh file? | 19:44 |

| hikenboot | ah Jowi i understand | 19:44 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: okay, would a fresh install be the best option for me then? | 19:44 |

| e66 | hello | 19:45 |
| compengi | thanks astro76 | 19:45 |
| astro76 | compengi: the first assumes the file has a proper #! as the first line | 19:45 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: how would I apt-get all packages? | 19:45 |
| Jowi | hikenboot: but, if you do not have a separate home partition now you will need to backup /home. then in the fresh install create a /home partition and copy the backup to there. | 19:45 |

| Jowi | tssom: unrar x file.rar (rar nonfree package) | 19:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 19:46 |
| 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 | 19:46 |

| Ax-Ax | hi | 19:49 |
| Ropechoborra | Ok | 19:49 |
| MagicDuck | foug: there are some options in the "Title and Command" tab but I don't think you can completely take away the title bar - you wouldn't have minimize, maximize, close buttons then | 19:49 |
| Jowi | tssom: ditto :) | 19:49 |
| hikenboot | anyone know if they are making perminent changes to compiz so that different wallpapers and videos can be used on as the backgrounds for each side of the cube... I got myself in this mess trying a patch to allow different sides to have different pics | 19:49 |
| Dr_willis | humblerodent, i had a similer issue with 2 monitors. I THINK there may be some extra settings in the gdm config files. | 19:49 |
| foug | MagicDuck: ya that's fine i don't need them | 19:50 |
| FactTech | MisterChief That should basically attempt to reinitialize everything on your system. Could take a while. | 19:50 |

| humblerodent | Dr_willis: okay....I don't have two monitors though, I just want it on my second display (Ctrl+Alt+F8) and not just the first one.... | 19:50 |
| Doonz | hey people i need some guidance | 19:51 |
| haymaker | just ask Doonz | 19:51 |
| FactTech | MisterChief "sudo apt-get --reinstall --simulate" should just pretend to do it so you can see if it looks like it will do anything dangerous. | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | humblerodent, you mean you are running 2 seperate X sessions. One on tty7 one on tty8 eh? | 19:51 |
| MisterChief | FactTech: okay, thanks | 19:51 |
| humblerodent | Dr_willis: exactly | 19:51 |
| b4d | hi, i have a problem with network manager, every time i reboot, i have to write wpa password again, any ideas how to save it? | 19:51 |
| FactTech | MisterChief Good luck. I don't have any other ideas for you. | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | humblerodent, theres way to make gdm spawn on both.. but i aint messed with that in years. | 19:51 |
| bhxt | amarok doesn't play any sound, even though it shows the song as being played | 19:52 |
| MagicDuck | it's another window manager - whatever - they call it a desktop shell - go to http://www0.get-e.org/ | 19:52 |
| bhxt | i don't have this problem with any other music players | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | They call it a 'window manager' :) | 19:52 |
| Doonz | right now i have a file set up with 7 hdds on a win2k3 box that are using dynamic disk. so they appear as one large hadd. I also have a das box that uses the SIL 3124 chipset with port multiplier | 19:52 |
| Ax-Ax | how do i remove adirectory if it's not empty? | 19:52 |
| humblerodent | Dr_willis: heh, well I'd prefer to be able to start it right now on the :1, instead of having to restart GDM entirely, so that I don't have to kill all my programs =P | 19:52 |
| chuy | I'm havin g a problem getting Ubuntu to recognise a harddrive. | 19:52 |
| Doonz | if i break up my 7hdds into just basica disk formated as ntfx will i be able to read the under ubuntu and is it possible to use port multiplier under unbuntu? | 19:53 |
| MisterChief | Looks like I'll have to reinstall | 19:53 |
| hikenboot | see you all and thanks for the help I will let you all know if I successfully reinstalled..either I will be back or i wont..lol | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | humblerodent, the root user can spawn a new X session on the fly with the right command/options.. (which i forget) | 19:53 |
| foug | MagicDuck: hmm, it's a lot more customizable than gnome? | 19:53 |
| haymaker | Doonz, yes you can use the ntfs-3g driver to read ntfs disk, dunno bout port multiplier | 19:53 |
| MagicDuck | foug: it's in development right now, but there are some guides on the ubuntu forums on how to install it from cvs | 19:53 |
| tssom | When using wine: does it make a difference running the program throught the ntfs driver rather then the fake c drive? | 19:54 |
| foug | allright, i'll try it out, thanks | 19:54 |
| bhxt | Ax-Ax, i assume you mean in the command line? | 19:54 |
| Doonz | ok | 19:54 |
| tssom | through* | 19:54 |
| Ax-Ax | bhxt, yes? | 19:54 |
| Doonz | so 1 question answered | 19:54 |
| mnemo | I have non-floss flash plugin 9.0 r48 and I need to upgrade to r115 to repro a bug.. how can I install r115?? | 19:54 |
| humblerodent | Dr_willis: I've spawned the X session with no problem =) it's GDM I want, lol | 19:54 |
| Doonz | just need to figure out about the port multiplier | 19:54 |
| bhxt | use rm -r directory | 19:54 |
| bhxt | it will remove the directory and everything in it | 19:54 |
| Ax-Ax | ok | 19:54 |

| Cpudan80 | Well I'll be damned | 20:00 |
| Cpudan80 | It booted now | 20:00 |
| Cpudan80 | Weird | 20:00 |
| Palthron | mnemo: yes, currently ubuntu, xp, 98, and vista | 20:00 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, webmin is nice. but considered a security issue. its not inthe repos any more either. will have to use its source.. but its fairly eays to install | 20:00 |
| doctajoyce | first when i try to install xbubuntu the cd drive recognition part doesn't find it for like 6 tries which equals like 40 mins then it eventually finds it and enables hdparm | 20:00 |

| WorkingOnWise | what do i use to join a multipart zip file back together? Archive manager says that all 7 parts are not the last file in the set. | 20:01 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, you doing some weird things with the shares or what exactly? sharing the homes and a few public shares is rather straightforward. | 20:01 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: did you want me? | 20:01 |
| Jowi | doctajoyce: check the md5sum of the CD. also try a burn at low speed (x2) | 20:01 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : I'm now kinda used installing from a source code and I'm sure there's plenty of sources on Google for installing from it so it shouldn't be a problem (maybe) | 20:01 |
| mnemo | Palthron: if you have a ubuntu machine running you can select "places :: network :: windows network :: etc" to view what you are sharing (but I think this goes for all network cards/interfaces) | 20:01 |
| doctajoyce | hmm | 20:02 |
| doctajoyce | ok | 20:02 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, webmin is rather easy to isntall from souce. :) easier then most apps actally | 20:02 |

| Dr_willis | Palthron, for accessing the vista shares.. it may be vista doing somthing different. :) as for seeing all the shares. You may want to check out the samba fuse tools.. of course accessing the shares on windows box's is not controled by samba actually.... | 20:06 |
| Dr_willis | !find smbfuse | 20:06 |
| ubotu | Package/file smbfuse does not exist in gutsy | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Dr_willis: is thre such a thing ? | 20:07 |
| Abatrour | fullmon, what filesystem are you using on that drive? | 20:07 |
| ikonia | there even | 20:07 |
| Dr_willis | !info fusesmb | 20:07 |
| ubotu | fusesmb: filesystem client based on the SMB file transfer protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.6-1 (gutsy), package size 29 kB, installed size 140 kB | 20:07 |
| Dr_willis | ikonia, what thing? :) i use fusesmb all the time. - its darn handy | 20:07 |
| ikonia | Dr_willis: never used it, just asking | 20:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: I agree but how it was calculated origianlly used partition size and location to calc the uuid http://linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/UUID_-what_is_it_and_why_is_it_a_problem | 20:07 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, the fusesmb tool for ubuntu - makes accessing the windows shares a LOT nicer. :) | 20:07 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : this is getting rather confusing for me. Let me walk it step by step slowly :) | 20:07 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : is fusesmb a frontend? | 20:08 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, fusesmb is a samba interface to the FUSE tools. | 20:08 |
| bolt | is there a simple console program that can record audio from my microphone? just need to see if it works. no x server on this machine. console only | 20:08 |
| khaotik | how do i find out if my web cam works | 20:08 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: No drive present under Computer, Nothing in /Media. The drive did a vanishing act. So I reformatted the drive, and reinstalled XP on it, and now I still can't access it through Ubuntu. | 20:08 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: ok - it's a usb driver yes/no | 20:09 |
| ikonia | drive sorry | 20:09 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, on my machine i do the command 'fusesmb Network' (whichis a directory) and Poof.. the whole samba network/shares.everything appears in the Network dir. :) | 20:09 |
| khermans | khaotik, see if driver gets loaded in dmesg + lsusb + lshw | 20:09 |
| FullMon-T | Ikonia: Internal hd. | 20:09 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : installing fusesmb now | 20:09 |
| eckesicle | bolt: you can just pipe it to a wav-file directly? | 20:09 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : And removing swat + jags | 20:09 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: ok, so what device file is it associated to | 20:09 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, as shares/machines appear/vanish - they apear/vanish from the Network dir. | 20:09 |
| bolt | eckesicle: i can? | 20:09 |
| Quicksilva | Hi, i installed fglrx drivers and i get the correct output when i type fglrxinfo yet my graphical performance is very very poor. I had it working properly before. is there anythin i can do about this perofmance | 20:09 |
| khaotik | is there something i can type into the terminal to see if its enabled or something | 20:09 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, swat + javs are config tools to configure SAMBA on the linux box.. they have nothing to do with mountign remote shares. | 20:10 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: I'm not sure, how do I tell? | 20:10 |
| khermans | khaotik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 20:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: I am thrilled that it has been fixed... | 20:10 |
| Abatrour | khaotik, try clicking apps, graphics, xsane image scanner and see if u can choose your cam in there | 20:10 |
| khermans | !webcam | khaotik | 20:10 |
| ubotu | khaotik: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 20:10 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: how many disks to you have it that machine ? | 20:10 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, you are getting 2 different tasks confused. :) | 20:10 |
| khaotik | good looking i will check it out | 20:10 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, I think the point that the guy is missing is the uuid is calculated once, when the partition is created/resized. Until that particular partition is changed, the uuid is constant | 20:10 |
| === luisbg_ is now known as luisbg | ||
| Palthron | Dr_willis : ow i thought it could automount my shared folder to a local folder | 20:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: Thanks for the test.. now we all know the full answer. | 20:10 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, you can do that without swat or other tools.. by just editing the fstab.. or using a tool like the fuse smb thing. or other ways | 20:11 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : Ok fusesmb installed. what next? | 20:11 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, swat and others - configure the shares on the LINUX box. | 20:11 |
| khaotik | what is the best way i can get my broadcom wifi chip working? should i use the NDISwrapper?? | 20:11 |
| khermans | Palthron, mount | 20:11 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, read its man pages? :) for a start let me check the locationof the default config. | 20:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: So changing the size will change the uuid... changing the format will not.. and only for that partition.. cool | 20:11 |
| eckesicle | bolt: yes. let me try it first though. | 20:11 |
| khermans | !fusesmb | 20:11 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fusesmb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:11 |

| Palthron | Dr_willis yes i did edit fstab but it's too techy for any other user | 20:11 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, didn't try the format ... | 20:11 |
| khermans | !fuse | Palthron | 20:11 |
| jstarcher | How do I fix the error where xmms says another program is using my soundcard? | 20:11 |
| ubotu | Palthron: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 20:11 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, just the size | 20:11 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: ok, so in that case you should have /dev/sda /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc yes/no | 20:12 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, for a start - pick a user to use. copy the file /usr/share/doc/fusesmb/examples/fusesmb.conf.ex to /home/USERNAME/.smb/fusesmb.conf | 20:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: The guy we were talking with earlier, was just changing the format.. which brought up the original question | 20:12 |
| Palthron | everybody : getting too confused, i'll read the manual first and try something. i'll get right back here immediately after. | 20:12 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, then you edit that file to enter the share info/passwords and so forth. | 20:12 |
| eckesicle | bolt: okay didn't work for me but my microphone probably doesnt work. You can always use the sound recorder to test your microphone. You find it in Applications->Sound and Video->Sound Recorder | 20:13 |
| Palthron | everybody : sorry, i'm not too used with a super crowded channel :) | 20:13 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow, forgot about that part, focused on your mention of resize. Oh, well, what's another few minutes :) | 20:13 |

| sondad | thanks | 20:24 |
| khermans | redspike, any amd64 yes | 20:24 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : i'll google that. i'll paste the article here if i can find it | 20:25 |
| htmljunkie | osx has bsd | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis | Palthron, you could disable the vista firewall :) that may be the whole issue | 20:25 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: something is exceptionally wrong then. 1 moment please why I consult a test system | 20:25 |
| htmljunkie | they can't make it bad really | 20:25 |
| ikonia | htmljunkie: this is ubuntu support - we are not interested in OSx or BSD | 20:25 |
| htmljunkie | hey i sai i'm new to ubuntu an linux | 20:25 |
| harm | has anyone noticed a drop in performance since 7.10? Especially programs loading slower? | 20:25 |
| ikonia | htmljunkie: so ? | 20:26 |
| htmljunkie | goals are : how to run an ftp server, web server and ultimately a server box | 20:26 |
| htmljunkie | so i'm here to learn | 20:26 |
| redspike | khermans: i dont get it.. intel xeon supports amd64 ? | 20:26 |
| ikonia | htmljunkie: there are guides on https://help.ubuntu.com | 20:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Arthur37855: HAve you set it to mount at boot? | 20:26 |
| nickrud | harm, no. How long does it take you to start up, say gedit? | 20:26 |
| khermans | redspike, it is x86_64 arch | 20:26 |
| ikonia | redspike: amd64 is what ubuntu are calling 64 bit | 20:26 |
| harm | htmljunkie: apache, vsftp = serverbox more or less | 20:26 |
| Abatrour | htmljunkie, you will be interested in ubuntu home server when it comes out | 20:26 |
| khermans | redspike, yes amd64 is notacutally proper | 20:26 |
| slanning | hi - I upgraded feisty to gibbon, and apache (1.3) is no longer available (I thought the "obsolete" package would be replaced by something, but I guess not) - how do I get it back? | 20:26 |
| Dozier | does ubuntu have a built in firewall? | 20:26 |
| htmljunkie | abat when is that ue | 20:26 |
| htmljunkie | due | 20:26 |
| Dr_willis | !firewall | Dozier | 20:26 |
| ubotu | Dozier: 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). | 20:26 |
| khermans | Dozier, iptables | 20:27 |
| Strangewor1 | Yo, when I attempt to play videos via VLC and Totem Movie Player, the videos are sometimes in grayscale. | 20:27 |
| nickrud | harm, particularly after it's been run once and closed | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Dozier: yes, called iptables | 20:27 |
| Dozier | !firewall | 20:27 |
| harm | nickrud: well on my super fresh Desktop install it takes a bit longer then it should and on my abused laptop it can take twice as long as it should.. perhaps its because of gnome-manager or something? | 20:27 |
| Dozier | thanks | 20:27 |
| Abatrour | html, i have no clue | 20:27 |
| Kunzy | Hate to interrupt your other conversations but i fear i may be here all day. Does anyone know how to install ATI Radeon X1900GT drivers. I realize they are proprietary, but is there a way i can get 3d effects and such. I eventually want to put Beryl on here. | 20:27 |
| htmljunkie | kunzy good luck | 20:27 |
| htmljunkie | I have the same issue | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Kunzy: beryl is dead | 20:27 |
| harm | Kunzy: very possible.. please refer to the forums for more info | 20:27 |
| nickrud | harm, should? lol, that's a really objective measurement :) | 20:27 |
| Dr_willis | !ati | Kunzy | 20:27 |
| ubotu | Kunzy: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:27 |
| khermans | Kunzy, sudo restricted-manager | 20:27 |
| Kasplatt | uhm, how do I use .rpm packages in ubuntu ? | 20:27 |
| jsoftw | I have put a bigger LCD on my ubuntu box. How do I get ubuntu to reconfig X for i ? | 20:27 |
| Dr_willis | !rpm | Kasplatt | 20:27 |
| ubotu | Kasplatt: 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) | 20:27 |
| jsoftw | I have put a bigger LCD on my ubuntu box. How do I get ubuntu to reconfig X for it ? | 20:27 |
| ikonia | Kunzy: ubuntu 7.10 comes with compiz-fusion already installed which means you already have the new version of beryl | 20:27 |
| Palthron | Dr_willis : firewall is off from the start. i don't want it bugging me for now. got enough problems as it is :) | 20:28 |
| nickrud | Kasplatt, by trying very very hard to find an alternative | 20:28 |
| khermans | jsoftw, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:28 |
| redspike | ahh ok | 20:28 |
| Kasplatt | Dr_willis quite dangerous ? | 20:28 |
| ghost_ | so all, KDE4 | 20:28 |
| ghost_ | your thoughts? | 20:28 |
| sondad | %C2hi%C2 | 20:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kasplatt: Yes.. avoid doing it | 20:28 |
| BobArctor | ghost_: leave it, broken gor now | 20:28 |
| Dr_willis | Kasplatt, use debs. :) lets just say leave it at that. | 20:28 |
| Kunzy | lol, im a noob. I found the setting to turn on the advanced desktop settings or whatever it is. But i needed teh drivers. Thanks ikonia | 20:28 |
| harm | ghost_: this isnt a discussion channel.. its a help channel, please refer to an offtopic chan | 20:28 |
| khermans | !alien | Kasplatt | 20:28 |
| ubotu | Kasplatt: 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) | 20:28 |
| ghost_ | BobArctor: release is on the 11th | 20:28 |
| redspike | khermans: you know where i find teh 64bit version of vmware server ? i can se it in downlod on vmware.com ? | 20:28 |
| Kasplatt | uhh , I need to install OpenAL and they don't have .deb packages | 20:29 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: couple please put the output of "blkid" into a pastebin please. | 20:29 |
| khermans | redspike, it is there | 20:29 |
| FLUxXxX | hey! i've added bubblemon to my panel but now, HOW TO REMOVE IT? It doesn't have a right-click menu or anything!! | 20:29 |
| harm | Kasplatt: ur probally have to compile it.. | 20:29 |
| BobArctor | ghost_: less functionality than 3.5, devel platform only IMO | 20:29 |
| htmljunkie | is it me or does ubuntu have so many users now support is limited? | 20:29 |
| ikonia | !caps | FLUxXxX | 20:29 |
| ubotu | FLUxXxX: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 20:29 |
| nickrud | Kasplatt, it might try to overwrite an existing file, but more importantly the rpm has a post install script that my do serious damage because it's assuming it's going into a system constructed in a particular way | 20:29 |
| Kasplatt | harm: okay , cool. | 20:29 |
| FLUxXxX | ikonia: pff | 20:29 |
| Dozier | I am unable to ping my router from my ubuntu box, even though I am pulling an IP address and can ping the box from other machines | 20:29 |
| FLUxXxX | date-n mortii matii | 20:29 |
| ikonia | FLUxXxX: this is en english channel | 20:29 |
| Strangewor1 | Yo, when I attempt to play videos via VLC and Totem Movie Player, the videos are sometimes in grayscale. | 20:29 |
| harm | Kasplatt: just check the wiki on install instructions on howto compile.. goodluck | 20:29 |
| FrancM | hi everyone | 20:29 |
| khermans | FLUxXxX, ikonia has a hard-on for the rules | 20:29 |
| Kasplatt | nickrud: I'll just compile it from source then. | 20:29 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: DHCP or static IP? | 20:29 |
| FLUxXxX | i see | 20:29 |
| ikonia | khermans: no, I just respect them | 20:29 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: dhcp | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | khermans: Behave yourself | 20:30 |
| FactTech | ikonia Hey -- Just wanted to say thank you -- you helped me quite a few times when I was first learning Linux, and this year I've been able to leave Windows behind for good. | 20:30 |
| Kasplatt | harm: yeah I know the basics :P | 20:30 |
| khermans | Jack_Sparrow, o_O ? | 20:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: Are you pinging by name or IP? | 20:30 |
| eckesicle | Strangewor1: did you download an old movie? I can recommend Casablanca | 20:30 |
| redspike | khermans: i only se one VMware Server for Linux. rpm or / tgz | 20:30 |
| ikonia | FactTech: your welcome | 20:30 |
| nickrud | Kasplatt, usually a better choice. You should look into checkinstall, it can create a rough deb out of your compiled stuff, makes it easy to remove when you want | 20:30 |
| htmljunkie | facttech now teach me haha | 20:30 |
| ghost_ | BobArctor: less functionality that 3.5? all the old Qt apps will no longer work/require updates? | 20:30 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: i'm pinging the box by ip | 20:30 |
| FLUxXxX | so, anyone knows how to remove this piece of.. or are we gonna discuss channel rules ? | 20:30 |
| derzis | FLUxXxX: esti un cacat. | 20:30 |
| khermans | RedHeron, tgz but get the 64bit version | 20:30 |
| Kunin | ok... I figured out my problem lies with Xinerama... now the question is how to fix it | 20:30 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: here: http://pastebin.com/m78041229 | 20:30 |
| FrancM | I GOT A PROBLEM: i have a new laptop. ASUS F3SC and can't get the sound card working.... what can i do? | 20:30 |
| Strangewor1 | eckesicle: lol! Noo, sometimes when I play it, it is in color, sometimes it isn't. | 20:30 |
| BobArctor | ghost_: spot on, thats the issue, it's for show and devel | 20:30 |
| FactTech | htmljunkie I do what I can but I'm learning much more than teaching these days. | 20:30 |
| FLUxXxX | derzis: this is an english channel | 20:30 |
| ikonia | FLUxXxX: you won't get help with that attitude | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | There is Vmware server - in one of the alterantive repositories - i belive now .. | 20:30 |

| harm | htmljunkie: what do u want to make a Webserver? get apache.. an FTP server can be made in under a minute.. | 20:31 |
| eckesicle | Strangewor1: it is only for divxmovies right? | 20:31 |
| redspike | khermans: ot that version support both 32 and 64 bit? | 20:31 |
| ghost_ | BobArctor: fair enough. Guess I can wait 6 more months :) | 20:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: Pastebin the output of ifconfig | 20:31 |
| htmljunkie | harm how can i make the ftp server | 20:31 |
| Strangewor1 | eckesicle: excuse me? | 20:31 |
| htmljunkie | want to learn that first | 20:31 |
| khermans | redspike, your qeustion is ambiguous | 20:31 |
| htmljunkie | if it's easy to do plz tell me how | 20:31 |
| ikonia | htmljunkie: I've told you 2 times there are guides on https://help.ubuntu.com | 20:31 |
| ghost_ | join #linux | 20:31 |
| ghost_ | woops | 20:31 |
| BobArctor | ghost_: only solution really, there is a live disc from suse if you wanna see, google it up | 20:31 |
| khermans | redspike, it is a 64-bit binary -- it cnanot be run on 32-bit only hardware | 20:31 |
| htmljunkie | the guides are only gui base ones | 20:31 |
| harm | htmljunkie: sudo apt-get install vsftp then u can login on your server with your linux loginname and password | 20:31 |
| htmljunkie | k | 20:31 |
| htmljunkie | thanks harm | 20:31 |
| khermans | redspike, however it does support both 64 and 32 bit guests | 20:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: Or actually, you can just do ifconfig | grep inet addr | 20:31 |
| ikonia | htmljunkie: the guides are not gui based | 20:31 |
| eckesicle | Strangewor1: nvm. Start totem | 20:31 |
| ghost_ | well i was going to wait till official releases next week | 20:31 |
| eckesicle | Strangewor1: Go to Edit and Preferences | 20:32 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: put inet addr in " " | 20:32 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: i can't, I'm on IRC via my windows machine right now.....i'll try that "grep" command | 20:32 |
| harm | htmljunkie: if u want to access ur server from outside your network (house) u will need to forward port 21 (www.portforward.com) | 20:32 |
| FLUxXxX | i've added bubblemon to my panel but now, HOW TO REMOVE IT? It doesn't have a right-click menu or anything!! is there a way to remove items from panel except deleting the whole panel? like gconf-config or something? | 20:32 |

| Dr_willis | nickrud, we need that info in the !vmware factoid. :) | 20:33 |
| Cpudan80 | ikonia: No sense in barking factoids at every user, that just clutters up the channel | 20:33 |
| Strangewor1 | eckesicle: Heh, what is Casablanca about anyways? | 20:33 |
| Kasplatt | uhh , in Enemy Territory my sound is "jumpy" how do I fix this ? | 20:33 |
| nickrud | Dr_willis, you know how to do that? | 20:33 |
| htmljunkie | puppy has security issues | 20:33 |
| eckesicle | Ax-Ax: don't remember. maybe it was: cd /home/yourname; ls -R | md5 | 20:33 |
| ikonia | Cpudan80: there is - it's there to inform users | 20:33 |
| htmljunkie | if you read the forums on the site | 20:33 |
| FLUxXxX | so nobody knows how to remove an item from a panel ? | 20:34 |

| FLUxXxX | that's great | 20:34 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: thanks for the help btw | 20:34 |
| Dr_willis | nickrud, nope. | 20:34 |
| rohan | FLUxXxX: right click on it and select delete? | 20:34 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: On your windows box do ipconfig and look at the gateway line | 20:34 |
| nickrud | FLUxXxX, right click the item, select remove? | 20:34 |
| Cpudan80 | ikonia: THen direct it to them via pm with > | 20:34 |
| master_alvaro | harm: thx, have dsl tools for burnCD (in text mode) and pppoA (ADSL)? | 20:34 |

| FLUxXxX | yeah | 20:35 |
| harm | htmljunkie: depends.. first time yes.. after a couple of tries it can be done but it is a bit advanced | 20:35 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: ok - so your 3rd disk cannot be seen at all | 20:35 |
| eckesicle | lostsanity: type: dmesg | tail | 20:35 |
| Dr_willis | FLUxXxX, use ps , get its pid. kill the pid. or use xkill | 20:35 |
| rohan | FLUxXxX: what thing are you talking about? | 20:35 |
| ikonia | FLUxXxX: can you see that disk in the bios ? | 20:35 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: that is correct. | 20:35 |
| Palthron | FLUxXxX: use alacarte | 20:35 |
| nickrud | Kasplatt, install build-essential | 20:35 |
| FLUxXxX | ok | 20:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FLUxXxX: look it up in synaptic, select it for removal if that is what you want to do. | 20:35 |
| FLUxXxX | Dr_willis but when relogin, wouldn't it show-up again? | 20:36 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: Ok - on the ubuntu box right click the networking icon and hit connection info | 20:36 |
| Kasplatt | nickrud: thanks | 20:36 |
| harm | htmljunkie: but basically you have to change /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default and perhaps two other files.. u can definatly find some awsome tutorials online | 20:36 |
| Dr_willis | FLUxXxX, it might.. or it might not.. thats what 'sessions' are all about. | 20:36 |

| nickrud | Kasplatt, system->admin->software sources, enable the first four and disable the cdrom . Then sudo apt-get update , then install build-essential | 20:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FLUxXxX: It should remove it cleanlyu | 20:37 |
| FullMon-T | Horgrathi: Do you have Alsa? | 20:37 |
| ikonia | FLUxXxX: apt-get while it's on the pannel will do no damage | 20:37 |
| khermans | redspike, http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-e.x.p-63231.x86_64.tar.gz | 20:37 |
| Horgrathi | FullMon-T: Yes, I do | 20:37 |
| ultimo | carai véi | 20:37 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: it's the same gateway as my windows box......i cannot ping anything outside my network, but i can ping my windows box from the ubuntu machine | 20:37 |
| FLUxXxX | ikonia: please don't speak to me | 20:37 |
| Palthron | FLUxXxX: here's a review for alacarte http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t2.htm | 20:37 |
| khermans | redspike, i think vmware server 2.0 sux though | 20:37 |
| ikonia | FLUxXxX: I'm informing you of fact | 20:37 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: also, i cannot ping the default gateway | 20:37 |
| ultimo | puta que o pariu tudo em inglês | 20:37 |
| Kunin | nvidia + Xinerama + GLX = not working GLX... how do I fix it? | 20:37 |
| redspike | khermans: thanx man! | 20:37 |
| FullMon-T | Horgrathi: try asking in #ALSA. It's a little channel, but if you can find a guy named wishie, he is a pro. | 20:38 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: open System --> Admin --> Network, look at the DNS tab | 20:38 |
| khermans | redspike, np | 20:38 |
| Kunin | Xorg log is clear as is dmesg | 20:38 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: make sure your gateway is listed as the first DNS server | 20:38 |
| FLUxXxX | Palthron: thank you. i quickly searched for it and i saw that's a menu editor. will look into it to see if it also removes applets from panel | 20:38 |
| khermans | Dozier, cat /etc/resolv.conf ? | 20:38 |
| Kunin | turn off Xinerama and it works, but I need Xinerama | 20:38 |
| lostsanity | eckesicle, ok.. should i look for somethign in specific? or just tell you what it said? | 20:38 |
| lostsanity | something* | 20:38 |
| ikonia | FLUxXxX: just remove it with apt-get, it is the safest and cleanest way | 20:38 |
| Tm_T | FLUxXxX: no, menueditor wont touch panel applets | 20:38 |
| Horgrathi | FullMon-T: I can try again, but no one seems to be alive in their | 20:38 |
| nickrud | FLUxXxX, no, it does not. Ikonia knows what he's talking about | 20:38 |
| Kasplatt | Jack_Sparrow: I actually got the disc somewhere , is it better to do the other way , or ? | 20:38 |
| FullMon-T | Horgrathi: Go to terminal and type in "alsamixer"\ | 20:39 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: ok, also, do i want roaming mode enabled on the interface? | 20:39 |
| FullMon-T | Horgrathi: Go to terminal and type in "alsamixer" | 20:39 |
| FLUxXxX | ok, thanks Jack_Sparrow for pointing the tip of removing it with apt-get | 20:39 |
| redspike | khermans: http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.4-63231.x86_64.tar.gz File not found :( | 20:39 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: yep | 20:39 |
| Dozier | k | 20:39 |
| Palthron | oops sorry, i thought he just wan't to remove the icon in the menu, not uninstalling the program | 20:39 |
| eckesicle | lostsanity: put it in a pastebin | 20:39 |
| khermans | redspike, i am not sure if there is a 1.x 86_64 release | 20:39 |
| Horgrathi | FullMon-T: Yeah, that is were the problem is, in Capture under Mic, its just a red L and R, but I can not change the volume | 20:39 |

| FullMon-T | ikonia, it is a crappy drive out of an old compuke. There is no "slave", just "master" and "cable select" | 20:56 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: yes, my ipcop gives out address in that range. my windows machine is 254, xbox is 253, etc | 20:56 |
| pooyak | hi | 20:56 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: what is the other disk set to ? | 20:56 |
| fitztrev | Is there a search program for Ubuntu that allows you to specify a directory and search within files? | 20:56 |
| Cpudan80 | oh ok it descends the range | 20:56 |
| Habibi | Guys, this is a really dumb question, if you had the hardware (high specs) and all you needed windows for is some adobe programs, which would you use, xp or vista?? | 20:57 |
| Kunzy | Ok, so then does anyone know hot i can go about enabling this xorg-driver-fglrx so i can enable it for my ATI Radeon X1900GT video card? | 20:57 |

| Parsec300 | Is there an issue with Ubuntu connecting to a Belkin wireless router? | 20:57 |
| Horgrathi | FullMon-T: sadly it did not help | 20:57 |
| PriceChild | Parsec300, routers are routers. If there's an issue, its with your card. | 20:58 |
| Laney | I just asked this in #xubuntu, but does anyone know how to stop the display from suspending after 10 minutes? It happens no matter what I disable (even DPMS in xorg.conf).. | 20:58 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: hmm, my ipcop box can't ping the ubuntu machine either | 20:58 |
| lostsanity | jack_sparrow, went to adobe's website and did the manual install, and it was not long before it started now that you mention it, however i think i used the automatic install thinger from firefox directly before that but it didn't work | 20:58 |
| Niteye | so i have to convert the .pub files first to .pdf with a website?? isnt there any program that can just open them as they are? | 20:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Parsec300: I had a router issue this week... Other pc's could connect, the new one could not.. I finally replaced the router and all is well | 20:58 |
| Parsec300 | PriceChild, I can't connect to my Belkin, but I can connect to my neighbours router. Both no encryption. | 20:58 |

| Dozier | cpudan80: i even tried changing my ethernet cable being used on ubuntu and moving to a new port | 20:59 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: Makes me think that the ubuntu box isn't getting a valid IP | 20:59 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: maybe, but it appears to be, no? | 20:59 |

| Dozier | cpudan80: i doubt it but i'll try | 21:00 |
| FullMon-T | ikonia: The IDE running Ubuntu is set to master. The one that isn't working is a Seagate "baracuda 2800" made for Compaq. | 21:00 |
| Cpudan80 | It would be bad if it could | 21:00 |
| Dozier | indeed | 21:00 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: It does look like the IP is valid though, very weird | 21:00 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: I can't see a reason it would be seein in bios/windows yet no ubuntu | 21:00 |
| ikonia | FullMon-T: I'll have to ponder | 21:00 |

| lostsanity | Jack_Sparrow, wait for what? | 21:00 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: router can't ping anything, since the ipcop won't receive pings from the internet side | 21:01 |

| rbanffy | In a x86 box the DHCP client gets an IP address but is unable to reach anything outside of the local net. The router is a D-Link 524up, the computer is connected via the wired network and two different NICs were used with the same result. Another ubuntu box is working properly (this notebook I am using) and is connected via the wired network. Has anyone ever experienced such weirdness? Is anyone interested in understanding this annoying | 21:01 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: correction, router can't ping anything in front of my ipcop box | 21:01 |
| ikonia | lbe: there isn't onw | 21:01 |
| ikonia | one | 21:01 |
| Horgrathi | FullMon-T: ok | 21:01 |

| Jack_Sparrow | lostsanity: Wait for the real fix to be released | 21:01 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: oh I see - makes sense | 21:01 |
| lbe | Yeah but there is no 64bit version | 21:01 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: yeah, i forgot about that before I tried it | 21:01 |
| EgonStork | ikonia: Compiling a custom kernel makes a booting speed difference. The trick is to unconfigure all the things you don't use but making sure you have the things you really need still. | 21:01 |

| ikonia | EgonStork: where did that come from ? | 21:01 |

| ikonia | EgonStork: that's not true | 21:02 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: Can you plug the nix box directly into the dlink router? | 21:02 |
| ikonia | EgonStork: not for ubuntu | 21:02 |
| Cpudan80 | As a sanity check? | 21:02 |

| nugz1212 | i need to check something here before i install ubuntu | 21:03 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: you don't have any firewalls on it do you (firestarter)? | 21:03 |
| BlackCow | I tried setting a range of PASV ports in the config file and forwardng them on the router, no help :-( | 21:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lostsanity: or 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 | 21:03 |

| nugz1212 | gtk doesnt | 21:05 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: so it's not the ubuntu box, must be the ipcop box | 21:05 |
| ader10 | nugz1212: yes, I know, but how much more resources does emerald use | 21:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Dozier: and what kind of info is it getting? | 21:05 |
| nugz1212 | obviously more | 21:06 |
| crdlb | nugz1212: err no | 21:06 |
| ader10 | ? | 21:06 |
| Dozier | cpudan80: the correct info (aka an ip address and subnet based on the router's one) | 21:06 |
| nugz1212 | wats the err no for | 21:06 |
| crdlb | nugz1212: both gtk-window-decorator and emerald are decorators for compiz, so they both need compiz (and only need Xgl with certain video cards) | 21:06 |
| nugz1212 | what im use to it does | 21:06 |
| ader10 | nugz1212: how _much_ more resources does emerald use compared to gtk-window-decorator? | 21:07 |

| ader10 | heatmzzr: search google for "enemy territory ubuntu" | 21:09 |
| nugz1212 | you have to buy the windows CD's for the rest of them | 21:09 |

| nugz1212 | heatmzzr wolfentstein Enemy Territory is free, however Enemy Territory Quake Wars is not | 21:10 |

| mactimes | Hello everyone | 21:32 |
| unenough | Laney: i have a 64-bit computer and i'm running 32-bit. a bit of a waste, no? | 21:33 |
| Laney | unenough: Yes, I replied to that. If you want you can install the amd64 version of Ubuntu, nothing stopping you. | 21:33 |
| mactimes | I've just installed Gutsy and enabled restricted Nvidia drivers, but now my windows have no borders, no close, minimize or maximize buttons. how do I fix it? | 21:33 |
| emma | ahhhhhhh.. i finally got it to work again... | 21:33 |
| emma | I was able to use the UBUNTU Live CD to get Grub working again. But then it took a long time to fix the xorg.conf file | 21:34 |
| stroyan | nero: If you install the perl package you get /usr/bin/rename. See "man rename". Or just use bash- for file in *-projectName.doc;do mv $file ${file/-projectName/};done | 21:34 |
| emma | Please let me warn everyone: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP before you fiddle with xorg.conf ! | 21:34 |
| PriceChild | !xconfig | emma | 21:34 |
| unenough | Laney: great, i just want to know how to do it without reinstalling from scratch (for example, apt-get install SOMETHING...) | 21:34 |
| PriceChild | emma, see the second command from ubotu | 21:35 |
| nero | stroyan, thanks.. I have perl installed, so I'll give that a try. | 21:35 |
| ubotu | emma: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 21:35 |
| FastZ_ | mactimes: what model video card to you have? | 21:35 |

| EvaLuaTe | how to enable root account please ? | 21:38 |
| mactimes | EvaLuaTe, sudo passwd root | 21:39 |
| bolt | how can I chose which locales to generate and set the default one? "dpkg-reconfigure locales" doesn't present any kind of menu anymore, it just regenerates the selected locales, which is only en_US.UTF-8 | 21:39 |
| Juice^ | Niteye: really, do it live from a boot cd running testdisk and try a full restore? | 21:39 |
| EvaLuaTe | mactimes, ok, thank you sir | 21:39 |
| Cpudan80 | EvaLuaTe: sudo -i thing would be better | 21:39 |
| microphex | i just downloaded the latest version of ubuntu...but i dont have any blank cds! :( | 21:39 |
| mactimes | EvaLuaTe, you're welcome =) | 21:39 |
| FrostRat | unenough: If you are curious about 64 bit ubuntu, try installing it onto a spare partition... that way you can see if you like it (there are a few annoyances with it that you may not like) | 21:39 |
| B-rabbit | how polite :) | 21:40 |
| PriceChild | !root | EvaLuaTe | 21:40 |
| ubotu | EvaLuaTe: 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 | 21:40 |
| unenough | FrostRat such as? | 21:40 |
| PriceChild | mactimes, please educate about sudo rather than giving it straight ;) | 21:40 |
| EvaLuaTe | Cpudan80, i was using that for a couple of months now and i'm fine with it, but i need to login via scp and i can't type sudo in there | 21:40 |
| Jowi | bolt: I think it's dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 21:40 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, you ssh into the box as a user, then use sudo. | 21:41 |
| dontpanic | How can I configure software raid for the entire disk when installing ubuntu? | 21:41 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, direct logging in as root under ssh is disabled I do belive. | 21:41 |
| mactimes | PriceChild, Well, he asked a direct question. I gave him a direct answer. If he is asking about enabling root account, he must know what he wants... | 21:41 |
| pete | hi, X is claiming that it can't go above 640x480 right now, which is sort of weird given that I was in 1280x1024 right up until I restarted X a few minutes ago, which I did since xrandr -q showed my max res as 640x480. any ideas? | 21:41 |
| Jowi | !locales | bolt | 21:41 |
| ubotu | bolt: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf | 21:41 |
| EvaLuaTe | Dr_willis, i use winscp, and i can't type any commands in there, it has a norton-like interface | 21:41 |
| PriceChild | mactimes, someone asking that question directly... doesn't know enough to know why ubuntu uses sudo. | 21:41 |
| Cpudan80 | !xconfig | pete | 21:41 |
| ubotu | pete: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 21:41 |
| PriceChild | mactimes, and so its better that they are educated on that instead. | 21:41 |
| Cpudan80 | pete: Do the second thing ( -phigh) | 21:41 |
| PriceChild | mactimes, they can then make an informed decision | 21:41 |
| piglit | pete: edit your xorg.conf etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:42 |
| pete | Cpudan80: alright, I'll try that. cheers | 21:42 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, you are wanting to transfer files as the root user? Ick. I would use winscp copy them to the users home dir. then ssh in and use sudo to move them where needed | 21:42 |
| FrostRat | unenough: if you haven't yet, definitely take a look at some of the 64bit discussions on ubuntuforums.org, you'll get a good idea if it's something you want to dive into or not | 21:42 |
| unenough | FrostRat: k, thx | 21:42 |
| Cpudan80 | unenough: The main annoyance for me is firefox | 21:43 |
| EvaLuaTe | Dr_willis, that's too much trouble if i transfer many files, so i thought this would be an easier solution, to temporary enable root to do my work and then disable again | 21:43 |
| Cpudan80 | unenough: Why ubuntu doesn't just use the 32 bit version by default is beyond me | 21:43 |
| Cpudan80 | SuSE does | 21:43 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, you are going to have to enable a root password, then edit the sshd config file -> PermitRootLogin yes, then restart sshd i imagine. | 21:43 |
| mactimes | PriceChild, I've been there, that's why I sent him a direct answer. He didn't ask "why I cannot access root account", but "how do I enable it". Sometimes, people just need a direct answer instead of lots of explanation about something. | 21:43 |
| PriceChild | Cpudan80, it does use it | 21:43 |
| EvaLuaTe | Dr_willis, ok, thank you sir | 21:43 |
| Cpudan80 | PriceChild: It does? | 21:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Since when? | 21:44 |
| EvaLuaTe | Dr_willis, and how to disable root once i finished please ? | 21:44 |
| PriceChild | Cpudan80, 32bit ubuntu uses 32bit firefox by default | 21:44 |
| mactimes | PriceChild, My guess is: If he wanted to know why root account comes disabled, he would google about it... | 21:44 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, for filemanaging under the shell as root. i tend to use 'mc' makes the jobs a lot easier. | 21:44 |
| Elmnas | hi guys | 21:44 |
| PriceChild | mactimes, assume nothing | 21:44 |
| unenough | Cpudan89 i guess i'll stay with this for now ;) | 21:44 |
| Cpudan80 | PriceChild: *all* ubuntus should use 32 bit firefox | 21:44 |
| Elmnas | how I do install login skins I downloaded a .gz file | 21:44 |
| PriceChild | Cpudan80, 64bit?! | 21:44 |
| Cpudan80 | PriceChild: There is no point to using 64 bit firefox | 21:44 |
| PriceChild | Cpudan80, just as there's no point using 64bit ubuntu then? | 21:44 |
| Cpudan80 | PriceChild: x86_64 machines can run 32 bit binaries | 21:45 |
| PriceChild | Cpudan80, so then use the 32bit ubuntu? | 21:45 |
| Cpudan80 | PriceChild: What?!? No way -- firefox is an exception | 21:45 |
| PriceChild | Cpudan80, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic | 21:45 |

| gyaresu | !anyone > wow | 21:48 |
| x-X-x | how can i have just one system bar with everything instead of two ? | 21:49 |
| gyaresu | gitfiddler: Please detail what you are trying to do and someone will probably help you. | 21:49 |
| x-X-x | on my system | 21:49 |
| x-X-x | i just want 1 panel | 21:49 |
| gitfiddler | Thanks gyaresu | 21:49 |
| gitfiddler | The 'Make link' funtion returns an error when I try to use it on any folder/file on a fat32 partition | 21:50 |
| gitfiddler | the error is "operation not permitted" while making link | 21:51 |
| void^ | gitfiddler: fat32 doesn't support symlinks. | 21:51 |
| wow | Ok well the card is a GeForce 8500 GT and when I put it in, I get the splash screen and then 4 lines of text and then nothing happens. | 21:51 |
| gyaresu | gitfiddler: :) there you go | 21:52 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, mc can do ftp and other protocals also. | 21:52 |
| gitfiddler | thanks | 21:52 |
| wow | I think I'll actually post this on the forums | 21:52 |
| Jowi | x-X-x: drag and drop what you want on panel 1 to panel 2 then right click on panel 2 and delete it. | 21:52 |
| Dr_willis | EvaLuaTe, i tend to ssh to the box and use mc however. :) | 21:52 |
| gitfiddler | is there some other way to make them? | 21:52 |
| x-X-x | jowi thnx | 21:52 |
| emma | piglit this is the thing that made my x server crash... http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Logitech_Marble_Mouse | 21:52 |
| gyaresu | wow: Have you installed the nvidia drivers? | 21:52 |
| jebblue | 1fat32 | 21:52 |
| gitfiddler | I need this in order to work between Win XP and Ubuntu | 21:52 |
| emma | piglit - I think maybe it's because i didn't put 'marble mouse' in the server layout section | 21:52 |
| patbam | how can i check my hard drive? | 21:53 |
| emma | piglit -- but do you know what that means? server layout section? where do I put that? | 21:53 |
| wow | No, I haven't. I thought it would boot but not make use of the card until I did. | 21:53 |
| gyaresu | patbam: download seagate seatools boot cd and test the drive. | 21:53 |
| humblerodent | anybody know much about IceWM? I'm trying to eliminate the panel so I can totally replace it with a panel of my choosing. | 21:53 |
| gyaresu | patbam: http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/ | 21:53 |
| jebblue | gitfiddler http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=252887 | 21:54 |
| gitfiddler | thanks jebblue | 21:54 |
| Dr_willis | humblerodent, not sure thats doable. I cant recall ever seeing icewm without a panel. Check its configs perhaps. | 21:54 |
| patbam | gyaresu: isn't there a memory check thing available from grub? | 21:54 |
| humblerodent | Dr_willis, hm.... | 21:54 |
| jebblue | gitfiddler welcome wish there was a way but copying is about the only option (to a Linux patition) | 21:54 |
| patbam | gyaresu: is it relevant that my drive isn't a seagate? | 21:54 |
| humblerodent | what j00 talkin' bout Dr_willis! | 21:55 |
| gyaresu | patbam: Yes. Install programme 'memtest86+' and it will be a boot option. | 21:55 |
| gyaresu | patbam: no. It's fine on any drive. | 21:55 |
| b4d | hi, how can i force synaptic to download packages instead of loading them from install cd, cause i don't have it atm? | 21:55 |
| gyaresu | patbam: Each manufacturer has their own but seatools will test almost any drive. | 21:55 |
| patbam | gyaresu: seems more future proof for me to learn this memtest86+ :) | 21:55 |
| gyaresu | patbam: You can always download it as an iso as well. | 21:55 |
| gitfiddler | hi jebblue | 21:56 |
| gyaresu | patbam: hirens disk has all these tools also version 9.1 but you'll only find it on bittorrent | 21:56 |
| gitfiddler | jebblue, that seems unfortunate | 21:56 |
| Ashfire | can i change the owner/group of a file/folder without being root? | 21:56 |
| gyaresu | emma: Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to pastebin please? | 21:56 |
| Jowi | Ashfire: yes, if you are the owner | 21:56 |
| DigitalNinja | Is anyone here using Cacti on Dapper? | 21:57 |
| patbam | gyaresu: can gparted do something similar? i seem to remember a "check" option in there | 21:57 |
| kkuhl | Hi... can anybody help with installing new themes in ubuntu??? I'm trying to install Mac4Lin 0.4 | 21:57 |
| gyaresu | patbam: Testing the actual structure of the drive is best left to seatools. | 21:57 |
| DigitalNinja | kkuhl: Is that cool looking | 21:57 |
| jebblue | gitfiddler twang hehe yup, fat32 was just a tiny notch above fat - any chance you can change that drive to NTFS ? you would have more options then | 21:58 |
| kkuhl | Digital Ninja: Yeah | 21:58 |
| jebblue | gitfiddler nm ntfs won't do what you want in this context either I think | 21:58 |
| Derek_ | I just started but I believe you can install themes by right clicking the desktop and select "change desktop background" | 21:59 |
| Jowi | Ashfire: correction - you can change group, not owner | 21:59 |
| patbam | wow, some blogs seem to suggest that memtest can take days to run | 21:59 |
| jebblue | gitfiddler http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-255573.html | 21:59 |
| Derek_ | from there navigate to the themes tab and select install | 21:59 |

| gitfiddler | jebblue, yah, I could make it NTFS, but thought linux couldn't write to that | 21:59 |
| Pici | !paste | emma | 21:59 |

| toni_ | kkuhl, which theme? | 22:01 |
| larson9999 | errr, what's up with yahoo mail? | 22:02 |
| kkuhl | toni_: mac4lin 0.4 | 22:02 |
| Derek_ | what do you mean what's up with yahoo mail larson9999? | 22:02 |
| emma | ty gyaresu here it is -- http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51016/ | 22:02 |
| toni_ | kkuhl, drag 'n drop in themes selector and see what appen | 22:03 |
| kkuhl | toni_: Says it installs correctly buts doesnt show up? | 22:04 |
| larson9999 | Derek_, normally i don't have any problems but in the last few minutes i've been getting goofy errors. i'm logged in to yahoo but when i go to mail it says yahoo mail experienced a login error | 22:04 |
| toni_ | kkuhl, click on personalize button and select :) | 22:04 |

| stoneDJay | Hello folks... Im on Live CD because my previous system installed had some problems after an update... My question is... Is there some way to recover my previous ubuntu structure, without format from live cd? | 22:05 |
| emma | gyaresu in order to make this new trackball Marble Mouse trackball have a scroll I'm about to replace what is in that first pastebin with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51017/ | 22:06 |
| larson9999 | Derek_, you mean may be cause it's still happening | 22:06 |
| gyaresu | emma: You haven't left the marble mouse section in... | 22:06 |
| emma | the last time I tried to do this I crashed xserver and it was a big mess trying to fix it. | 22:06 |
| Doonz | question for you guys | 22:06 |
| gyaresu | emma: looking at new one... | 22:06 |
| jebblue | gitfiddler consider using rsync to sync your fat32 files with the ones on the ext3 drive - it is a very good utility, smart, after it does its initial sync is is generally very fast, it only copies ones that change and can (if you want it to) remove the files that are no long on the source drive using the --delete option | 22:06 |
| DigitalNinja | Cacti on dapper? | 22:06 |
| Derek_ | my guess is as good as yours | 22:06 |
| Doonz | say i have 7 hdds in a system. 1 will be for the Ubuntu os. the other 6 are ntfs with data on them. will i be able to read them? | 22:07 |
| DigitalNinja | Doonz: Yes | 22:07 |
| gyaresu | emma: You're comfortable with going to ctrl+alt+F2 and backing up/editing your xorg.conf? | 22:07 |
| Doonz | kool | 22:07 |
| emma | I think I am now. | 22:07 |
| Doonz | and what is the kernel that is in 7.10? | 22:07 |
| DigitalNinja | 2.6.22 | 22:08 |
| emma | I made a backup copy of it before I changed it. The backup copy is the first pastebin | 22:08 |
| silverphoenix_ | hello, does any person know a good amule server list? | 22:08 |
| DigitalNinja | kernel 2.6.22 is in 7.10 | 22:08 |
| larson9999 | Derek_, ff via wine let me log in just fine. kind funky. | 22:08 |
| Jowi | !info linux-image-generic | Doonz | 22:08 |
| ubotu | doonz: linux-image-generic: Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 2.6.22.14.21 (gutsy), package size 24 kB, installed size 52 kB | 22:08 |
| gyaresu | emma: cool. that'll make it less painfull. Just a note, sometimes for no good reason I've found a restart has made a new xorg.conf work (when you're SURE it should). Just from experience in the past. | 22:09 |
| === Generic is now known as Unique | ||
| gitfiddler | jebblue, hmm, yes, tried the suggestion at of forum post and either I'm doing something wrong or no luck there | 22:09 |
| emma | I'm trying to follow the directions on this page: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Logitech_Marble_Mouse | 22:09 |
| Ashfire | jowi isn't there a way to like set permission a certain way to do it? | 22:09 |
| DigitalNinja | What are the other ubuntu channels? | 22:10 |
| gyaresu | emma: /etc/init.d/gdm restart should be fine though. (yep I saw that link) | 22:10 |
| gitfiddler | I'll try out rsync | 22:10 |
| gyaresu | DigitalNinja: lot's of language ones and ubuntu-offtopic | 22:10 |

| emma | gyaresu - In the server layout section where it USED to say "configured mouse" I put "MarbleMouse" | 22:10 |

| DigitalNinja | gyaresu: Thanks | 22:10 |

| Ashfire908 | jowi :( | 22:10 |
| larson9999 | Derek_, lol. my son asked me earlier, "how do i change useragent in firefox?" guess he figured it out. works fine not that i reset it. | 22:11 |
| emma | is that what it (the instructions page) means when it says, "Make sure that you have "MarbleMouse" under the server layout section as well." | 22:11 |
| gyaresu | emma: Yep becuase you that's what you've called that mouse "InputDevice". You could call it 'bob' as long as they were the same. | 22:11 |
| Ashfire908 | does cp change owner and group to the current user? | 22:11 |
| Jowi | Ashfire908: otherwise it would be easy to fake a file with strange tax numbers on a file owned by "hatedenemyatwork" :) | 22:11 |
| emma | okay.. that could explain things.. because the first time I tried this, I did not change anything in the server layout section. And that is what led to unpleasantness. | 22:12 |

| SoundChsr | mobiusthought: just re-run the nvidia installer, it will recompile it's kernel module against the new kernel | 22:34 |
| Eagle2160 | what do i do to start ubuntu? | 22:34 |
| aM3 | hi | 22:34 |
| sigra | double click the deb package from cedega and a installer comes up and before it installs it..says all depencies installed..then when i click install..it says its already installed | 22:34 |
| B-rabbit | jebblue, its hasn't got a install script or a readme file has it? | 22:34 |
| jebblue | B-rabbit then Preferences | Appearance | Theme | Install... and after importing I exited and re-entered the Themes then Customize... and Pointers and now I have new Comix pointers | 22:34 |
| Jowi | Hristo: if it's not on getdeb.net you're out of luck. | 22:34 |
| Jeah | debatem1: gutsy is in there, but 1) how do I run it, and 2) (how) do I let the installer know I"ve already run it? | 22:35 |
| sidelil | excuse me is there a command to check the disk for errors (like chkdsk in win)? Thanks | 22:35 |
| Impiety | what is the default run level for ubuntu | 22:35 |
| Hristo | Jowi, any other idea how to get mplayer ? :) | 22:35 |
| Jowi | Hristo: no idea for 64bit | 22:35 |
| Eagle2160 | can someone help me please? | 22:35 |
| Ttech | power low | 22:35 |
| jebblue | B-rabbit the short answer is download the theme, cursor or whatever, then Install in the Theme Manager then exit, go back in and pick Customize and then Pointer | 22:35 |
| Eagle2160 | help anyone? | 22:36 |
| underdawg | any reason my flash is chopy when it was fine in feisty? | 22:36 |
| mobiusthought | SoundChsr- it won't do it because I don't have the kernel source | 22:36 |
| debatem1 | jeah: sudo debootstrap gutsy [stuff] | 22:36 |
| Jowi | Hristo: mplayers homepage most likely (compile from source or if there are links to debs there) | 22:36 |
| debatem1 | eagle2160: what script is stalling again? | 22:36 |
| === sasha_ is now known as epifanio | ||
| Hristo | Jowi, thanks, i'll try that | 22:37 |
| Eagle2160 | huh? | 22:37 |
| B-rabbit | jebblue, i dont have the Appearance option in system > preference > appearance :( | 22:37 |
| Eagle2160 | its ubuntu 7.10 | 22:37 |
| SoundChsr | Install the kernel source then. :) | 22:37 |
| underdawg | any reason my flash is chopy when it was fine in feisty? | 22:37 |
| stroyan | sidelil: fsck will check a file system. You may need to reboot to check the root file system. sudo touch /forcefsck; sudo reboot | 22:37 |
| FullMon-T | Cpudan80: What happens when I run that same script for two seperate harddrives only changing the part that says "Hpoop". | 22:37 |
| mobiusthought | yeah, I'm trying but Synaptic doesn't show it available... nor the gcc package, which I would also think I would need | 22:37 |
| debatem1 | eagle2160: you say that a script fails and then it doesnt start right? | 22:37 |
| Rufus | i did apt-get install eggdrop, now when i try to launch it, i get this: [17:37] * CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR) | 22:37 |
| B-rabbit | but i do have system > preference > themes:( | 22:37 |
| Jeah | debatem1: sorry, but what would the [stuff] be? :) | 22:37 |
| Rufus | anyone know why? | 22:37 |
| Cpudan80 | FullMon-T: then sda1 will be mounted in two different places | 22:37 |

| tinman47 | Anybody know how to get Half-Life 2 for free? | 22:38 |
| SoundChsr | mobiusthought: I think you don't have all the repositories enabled then... | 22:38 |
| Eagle2160 | umm i guess i dont have much experience with codes and stuff but it gets to this part and just stops | 22:38 |
| debatem1 | jeah: the [stuff] is your chroot | 22:38 |
| crdlb | B-rabbit: Appearance is new in gutsy (gnome combined Themes, Background and Fonts together) | 22:38 |
| FullMon-T | For some reason, the drive I was attempting to mount disappeared or became un accessible. | 22:38 |
| FullMon-T | Cpudan80: For some reason, the drive I was attempting to mount disappeared or became un accessible. | 22:38 |
| debatem1 | jeah: other arguments are possible tho | 22:38 |
| jebblue | B-rabbit odd, right-click on the applications menu then Edit menus and see if it just needs its check mark turned on | 22:39 |
| mobiusthought | ... oh what a dumbass I am... I turned everything on BUT the "source code" option... sheesh... thanks | 22:39 |
| FullMon-T | Cpudan80: What is the command to see a list of all harddrives? | 22:39 |
| underdawg | would anyone know why flash is really choppy in gutsy and not so choppy in fesity? | 22:39 |
| tinman47 | Anybody know where to get Half-Life 2 for free??? | 22:39 |

| FullMon-T | Why is my media player running in slow motion? | 22:41 |
| robdig | sigra: who did you install it? | 22:41 |
| Impiety | what is the ubuntu's default runlevel? | 22:41 |
| legind | 2 | 22:41 |
| robdig | sigra: s/who/how/ | 22:41 |
| Impiety | ah | 22:41 |
| Impiety | thanks | 22:41 |
| debatem1 | jeah: debootstrap creates a minimal environment for the testing of debian systems. the chroot is the directory you want to copy everything into; the idea is that once you copy everything there, you will then change the root directory (chroot) so that you can play with that system | 22:41 |
| legind | Impiety, you can type runlevel to find your current runlevel | 22:41 |
| mobiusthought | kernel-source still doesn't show up in Synpatic, even with Source repositories on.. this is ubuntu-studio, if it matters | 22:42 |
| B-rabbit | jebblue, sorry sorry, i mentioned earlier that i am using gusty...but i am not :( ...silly me.. | 22:42 |

| B-rabbit | i am using feasty | 22:42 |
| jebblue | B-rabbit hehe np | 22:42 |
| FullMon-T | Why is my media player running in slow motion? | 22:42 |
| Jeah | debatem1: I found http://www.debianhelp.org/node/8799 ... should I do what that says but substitute gutsy for etch? Then use /target like it suggests? (there seems to be a /target directory with some stuff in it) And what would be my mirror, or do I not need one? | 22:42 |
| debatem1 | eagle2160: sorry, lots of stuff going on. could you please give more details about what the screen says up to the point when it stops? | 22:42 |
| sigra | yes i installed it with synaptic..then used the apt to remove it and says cannot find package | 22:42 |
| mobiusthought | jebblue- I dont know what the currect version is, but I have it, there were probably thousands of people online to play with, and it plays great | 22:43 |
| Soskel | would anyone like a free premium monitor from http://siteuptime.com ? | 22:43 |
| sigra | rather says package does not exist even | 22:43 |
| Doonz | can someone tell me if libata-tj-2.6.22.1 is included in the 7.10 ubuntu disk? | 22:43 |
| jebblue | B-rabbit so I guess Feisty hmm I don't recall try the Ubuntu forums for Feisty I bet its in there | 22:43 |
| sigra | apt says package is not installed now..and synaptic says it is installed | 22:43 |
| Jeah | debatem1: sorry, but I'm a bit out of my element and need a little hand holding | 22:43 |
| B-rabbit | jebblue, will do, thnx | 22:43 |
| Eagle2160 | debatum1: it says exactly "* running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)" | 22:43 |
| FullMon-T | What is the command to see a list of all harddrives? | 22:44 |
| === FullMon-T is now known as chuy_ | ||
| jebblue | B-rabbit ok the answer will be in the Theme Manager most likely | 22:44 |
| stroyan | Doonz: I looked at the 7.10 kernel source and did not see the changes from libata-tj-2.6.22.1 patches. | 22:44 |
| jebblue | mobiusthought cool I'll have to try that | 22:44 |
| mobiusthought | FullMon-T- there's probably a more direct way, but I typically open a partition editor, like gparted | 22:44 |
| debatem1 | jeah: np, although if you dont mind my asking why are you using debootstrap if you do not intend to chroot? and you should not need it | 22:44 |
| debatem1 | eagle2160: my name is debatem1, it does not notify me that I have a message if my name is misspelled | 22:45 |
| Doonz | Thanx stroyan | 22:45 |

| Rufus | eh? | 22:46 |
| blastermaster | si | 22:46 |
| mobiusthought | rufus- I'm guessing either 1) your config file isn't loaded.. or 2) there's an error with your config file :) What is eggdrop? | 22:46 |
| Eagle2160 | debatem1: i clicked on your name | 22:46 |
| Variloka | no hay alguienmas? | 22:46 |

| blastermaster | para que quieres a otra persona? | 22:46 |
| debatem1 | eagle2160: have you messed with your init scripts at all? | 22:47 |
| Variloka | pa cachar esta weaita po pa que va a ser | 22:47 |
| Jeah | debatem1: I certainly don't mind you asking, but I don't know the answer. I'm just going through the Xubuntu alternate install CD. It seems to be going along rather well, but spits out the "Debootstrap Error: Failed to determine the codename for the release." error during the "Install the base system" step and won't let me get around it easily. | 22:47 |
| Variloka | aqui de que tratan por ejemplo | 22:47 |

| debatem1 | jeah: verify that the iso is good first | 22:47 |
| blastermaster | como de que tratan? | 22:47 |
| Eagle2160 | debatem1: i have no idea i probably did I have no experience doing anything like this and i have no clue if i did it right | 22:47 |
| debatem1 | jeah: you should not have to handle that | 22:47 |
| Variloka | que temas por ej... | 22:47 |
| Variloka | bueno y pa pasar el ocio... aqui hay algo mas especifico... eres un experto... | 22:48 |

| empath1999 | anyone here know grub reasonably well? | 22:49 |

| WooD | I have a lot of windows program that does now work with Ubuntu. Wich is the best Virtualisation software to run windows into Ubuntu ? Parallels Desktop or Vmware ? | 23:22 |
| debatem1 | mobiusthought: you can still charge for gpl'd software | 23:22 |
| pulse391 | Pelo: i click the plus sign if that's what you mean, but there's no option for hidden files | 23:22 |
| hydoskee | I just installed 7.10, and when I boot up my machine, all it does is keep rebooting | 23:22 |
| Eyemean | hmmmm not bad idea pelo, i guess just use any trcker | 23:22 |
| stroyan | unperson: Actually, "beryl" is my current window manager, with "emerald" for window decorations. (But this desktop is debian etch rather than ubuntu.) | 23:22 |
| Eyemean | hahah | 23:22 |
| th0r | jonny_ mount -t ext3 <dev> <mountpoint> | 23:22 |
| andi5 | jonny_: normally the options defaults should make it rw | 23:22 |
| Pelo | pulse391, yes there is, might be a search all | 23:22 |
| unperson | stroyan, Ok. So emerald is just the decorator. | 23:22 |
| debatem1 | wood: i use virtualbox | 23:23 |
| WooD | debatem1: thanks I'll check that | 23:23 |
| mobiusthought | yep, virtualbox is great | 23:23 |
| unperson | stroyan, And the one that is originally used by ubuntu is gtk-window-decorator. That makes sense. | 23:23 |
| Pelo | got to go , later folks | 23:23 |
| jonny_ | /dev/hdb1/media/shared ext3 defaults 0 0 thats should be fine right? | 23:23 |
| larson999 | virtualbox is nice indeed | 23:23 |
| debatem1 | wood: check out #vbox if you have any questions | 23:23 |
| Zasch | Hello. Why is it that, in Evolution, I have two trash folders, one of which I can't delete anything? | 23:23 |
| unperson | stroyan, ...which is part of the compiz-gnome package. | 23:23 |
| andi5 | jonny_: does your user have write access to the directory / file? | 23:24 |
| mobiusthought | debatem- yeah, you can, it just rubs me the wrong way.. if you're going to charge, then charge.. they're trying to be slick by NOT charging for the software itself, even though you can't get it without paying | 23:24 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Ok, mounting the partition in /target/media/cdrom0 didn't help. And I'm afraid you're going to need to be more specific about making myself a working directory (where and called what?) and specifying my cdrom as the source for debootstrap (I probably need to be told the exact command I'm supposed to be typing.). | 23:24 |
| jonny_ | dont know i cant even write as the first admin use | 23:24 |
| [Chief] | hey guys, facing a big problem! I just restarted my server, but now he won't boot :-( The last output is, that he stopped the two raid array; md0 stopped, md1 stopped | 23:24 |
| grep100 | something caused me to suddenly have two trash bins, I tried both and deleted the one that didn't work | 23:24 |
| andi5 | jonny_: try `sudo touch /media/shared/somefile && echo "it worked"` | 23:24 |
| jonny_ | i was able to write to it before but after putting in in fstab i havent been able | 23:24 |
| [Chief] | mdo is the /boot and md1 has an LVM which holds the root partition | 23:24 |
| stroyan | unperson: "dpkg -L compiz-gnome" shows "/usr/bin/gtk-window-decorator". compiz-core provides compiz and compiz.real. | 23:25 |
| [Chief] | waht can I do? | 23:25 |
| jonny_ | andi: there is not file in it as its a newly formatted partion | 23:25 |
| Mr-LonelY | hi..it gutsy stable now? Sometime got kernel panic after update.. | 23:25 |
| debatem1 | mobiusthought: its what I do- i release source code free and the compiled binary for a charge. i have no qualms about other people compiling and redistributing, but i'd rather they look at code | 23:25 |
| Arthur37854 | question, i have 2 hard drives one with xbuntu on it the other one i want to use for storage, i dont have access to it, how do i get rwx privlages? | 23:25 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: Ok, I formatted the troublemaking harddrive to ext3. Now, I would like to mount it. When I type in "sudo mount -t ntsf-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/Spidora -o force" I get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntsf-3g'". | 23:25 |
| andi5 | jonny_: touch will create one | 23:25 |
| IceKiller | any hints on how to get the boot time of linux down? | 23:26 |
| ignignokt | can someone help me get a working fglrx dual-head big desktop setup going? using the screen/graphics preferences GUI gives me scary red lines on the screen when x tries to start after rebooting. | 23:26 |
| debatem1 | jeah: k, you need to define a directory where you can copy everything over to. i would make it wherever you have mounted your largest non-swap hard drive partition | 23:26 |
| unperson | stroyan, Ok, I think this mostly clears things up. I was able to get things back to the way they were before by running gtk-window-decorator --replace. I don't know which decorator will start next time I start my desktop, but I assume it won't be to difficult to find the appropriate config file. | 23:26 |
| jonny_ | it return it worked | 23:26 |
| larson999 | boot time down? 2 minutes per year isn't so bad :) | 23:26 |
| andi5 | chuy: you can see the available file systems type by issueing `cat /proc/filesystems` | 23:26 |
| RoAkSoAx | IceKiller: maybe disabling some services to boot on startup? | 23:26 |
| WooD | I have a emt64 Intel Intel Core 2 Duo. Does ubuntu-7.10-dvd-amd64.iso is the best ? Is it better to get the 32 bit version ? | 23:26 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- what's the ntsf-3g supposed to do? it's not NTFS anymore, and I don't THINK you need to specify FS type if it's ext | 23:26 |
| stroyan | [Chief]: What you can do depends on "what did you do?". Did you update to a kernel that can't handle your lvm partitioning? Do you have another old grub boot option that may still work? | 23:27 |
| debatem1 | wood: if you enjoy using half your processor | 23:27 |
| jonny_ | andi: but when i try to go to it says permission denied using cd | 23:27 |
| WooD | debatem1: so 64 bit is better | 23:27 |
| andi5 | jonny_: did you try my command? | 23:27 |
| mike9682000 | afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Could anyone help? | 23:27 |
| WooD | debatem1: WoW cant wait to try this | 23:27 |
| jonny_ | andi yeah it return it worked | 23:27 |
| debatem1 | wood: yeah | 23:27 |
| mobiusthought | debatem- right, but if you charge, you charge, right? You're not saying "Oh, SUUURE it's free, you just need to pay to be a member of my site...." | 23:27 |
| andi5 | jonny_: oh, and please watch my trailing 5, otherwise i may miss a message of your | 23:27 |
| larson999 | 64 bit comes with too much baggage for my money | 23:27 |
| debatem1 | wood: which? virtualbox or x86_64? | 23:28 |
| jonny_ | andi5 : okey will do | 23:28 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: I did nothing, only added an Harddisk to the RAID1 Array, then it runned 4 days and now i rebooted and it wonÄt work anymore :-( | 23:28 |
| WooD | debatem1: it is downloading right now on a torrent file ... 523.5 kB/s that's pretty fast | 23:28 |
| andi5 | jonny_: so the problem is that your user is not allowed to access the directory | 23:28 |
| jonny_ | andi5: i see the file in nautilus | 23:28 |
| larson999 | i've been running it for about a month. think i'm going to switch to 32 bit next weekend | 23:28 |
| andi5 | jonny_: please issue `ls -ld /media/shared && `id -u` | 23:28 |
| debatem1 | wood: the bandwidth gods smile upon ye | 23:29 |
| WooD | debatem1: I'm downloading Ubuntu-dvd-amd64.iso | 23:29 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Ok, that would be the partition I'm trying to install on, right? If so, it's /dev/sda2, but I'm not sure if/where it's mounted yet. | 23:29 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: there just appeared the busy box | 23:29 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: Ok, when I entered "sudo mount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/Spidora -o force" this is what I got: http://pastebin.com/m67d8fbf2 | 23:30 |
| jonny_ | andi5: command could not be found | 23:30 |
| bio_ | can someone help me set up a small home network? | 23:30 |
| === slipttees is now known as BillGates | ||
| bio_ | or point me somewhere | 23:30 |
| [Chief] | and it say: /dev/mapper/server-root cannot be found, of course becasue the raid device is not running -( | 23:30 |
| andi5 | chuy: -t <something> lets mount use the file system type <something>, but /dev/sdb1 is no such type | 23:30 |
| debatem1 | jeah: right, now you need to make a directory- any directory, i might call it /install, and then mount /dev/sda2 /install | 23:30 |
| bio_ | hello | 23:31 |
| andi5 | jonny_: huh? | 23:31 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- I'm getting lazy, and possibly forgetful, since I rarely need to manually mount anything anymore (even iso's), but try just "sudo mount -t /dev/sdb1 /media/Spidora" | 23:31 |
| Tyczek | I have synaptic touchpad with illumination. Is it possible to turn it on in ubuntu ;p ? | 23:31 |
| mike9682000 | afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Could anyone help? | 23:31 |
| stroyan | [Chief]: Did you reboot after your last change 4 days ago? If not, then that has probably been wrong since then. What does /proc/partitions contain from busybox? | 23:31 |
| jonny_ | andi5: maybe i have to have execute to enter the folder | 23:31 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- If that doesn't work, just do a "man mount" and use the shortest command possible, adding parameters only if necessary | 23:31 |
| andi5 | mobiusthought: -t needs a type :) | 23:31 |
| insigne | oi | 23:31 |
| dn4ia | http://www.stealthisfilm.com/Part2/index.php | 23:31 |
| mobiusthought | yeah, that's right, take the "-t" out of there, or tell it "-t ext3" | 23:32 |
| === BillGates is now known as LinuxTrovands | ||
| jonny_ | andi5: i use the chmod 666 on the folder before | 23:32 |
| jebblue | mobiusthought I just did some more checking it looks like Cedega based their code on Wine when it was MIT license then closed the source, the source they have on their site is old - thanks, so they are legal but Wine changed their license to LGPL so it makes it tougher for someone to do what they did, I just think that Linux (especially Ubuntu) needs to be an attractive platform for everyone including those who need to support their families using it | 23:32 |
| larson999 | Tyczek, never met anyone how wanted to turn a touchpad on. how in the world did the touchpad overtake the trackstick? heck, lenovo seems to be my only option :( | 23:32 |
| === LinuxTrovands is now known as Linuxsrovands | ||
| === Linuxsrovands is now known as Linusrovands | ||

| === blip is now known as blippy | ||
| === Linusrovands is now known as LinusTrovands | ||
| andi5 | jonny_: 666 on a directory means everyone has read and write access, but noone besides root can actually cd into it (executable flag is missing) | 23:33 |
| mike9682000 | afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Nobody? | 23:33 |
| === LinusTrovands is now known as LinusTorvalds | ||
| Jeah | debatem1: ok, so far the contents are cdrom etc lost+found media var | 23:33 |
| jonny_ | andi5: i c what the command to have everyone able to cd into it then? | 23:33 |
| andi5 | jonny_: but i think to actually write you need x on the dir and all its ascendants | 23:33 |
| andi5 | jonny_: 777 | 23:34 |
| Tyczek | larson999, it's on, but it has "illumination function". I wonder if it can be enable in ubuntu | 23:34 |
| Alloosh | how to manually run dkpg? | 23:34 |
| andi5 | jonny_: btw, 666 is evil ;-) | 23:34 |
| jonny_ | andi5: let me try that it that will solve it | 23:34 |
| jonny_ | andi5: lol | 23:34 |
| andi5 | Alloosh: to do what? | 23:34 |
| debatem1 | jeah: why... no, you should have nothing there | 23:34 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: If the harddrive is /dev/hdb, do I use sdb1? | 23:34 |
| blippy | Anyone ever have sound coming through firefox just sound akward? Movies and music played amarok or whatever is good. But if I view a youtube video OR just get a message while on gmail it sounds bad. There's some distortion. | 23:34 |
| ivonne | hola | 23:35 |
| Arthur37854 | i have 2 hard drives 1 has xbuntu on it, the other is going to be for storage. when i mount the drive i don't have any rwx privileges how do i get them? | 23:35 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Dunno. Maybe the installer got that far before it screwed up? | 23:35 |
| ivonne | hola alguien | 23:35 |
| mike9682000 | afternoon! I am a newbie and have an ATI X1950 card problem: I don't get to see the desktop at all. Somebody? Anybody? | 23:35 |
| blippy | mike9682000, so how'd you start xchat? | 23:35 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- user whatever identifier your partitioner used... | 23:35 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Those are the same things that are in /target, by the way. | 23:35 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: No, I did not reboot, first a only ran the raid1 array with one harddisk, installed all an rebootet several times, allw orked fine the i added an IDE Disk to teh computer and added it to the array. /proc/partition includes: /dev/hda, /dev/hda1, /dev/hda2, /dev/sda, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdaa2 <-- this is fine: sda1 and hda1 are md0 and sda2 and hda2 are md1 | 23:35 |
| mike9682000 | blippy I am under vista | 23:35 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: I still get the same messge | 23:35 |
| Marx | heyyo channel members | 23:35 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Though it let me mount it in /install, so I take it that means it's not already mounted in /target. | 23:36 |
| ivonne | hola | 23:36 |
| ivonne | hola | 23:36 |
| Marx | can anyone offer assistance with installations? apparently, i'm various 'files' short... and as I'm new to linux in general, i'm at a loss... I'm only trying to install Yahoo messenger... | 23:36 |
| ivonne | hola | 23:36 |
| chuy | ivonne: Asta | 23:36 |
| andi5 | hahllo ivonne | 23:36 |
| mobiusthought | jebblue- that's my biggest beef with them. If the wine people aren't happy with what they did, building on their work, then something's fishy. | 23:36 |
| Marx | thanks lukewarm | 23:37 |
| jebblue | mobiusthought i can see that | 23:37 |
| punkshui | hello, i'm having problems with my battery life in ubuntu gutsy.. can anyone suggest a solution? | 23:37 |
| mobiusthought | jebblue- I DO agree that people have a right to make a living from their work, but again, to me, it shows they KNOW they're on shaky ground legally, when they want to make money, but know better than to directly charge FOR the software | 23:37 |
| debatem1 | jeah: k... you need to format your partitions before continuing | 23:37 |
| jonny_ | how do you remove a link from a file or folder? | 23:37 |
| ivonne | page in spanish please? | 23:38 |
| jebblue | mobiusthought hey I tried that Frets on Fire - cool game! | 23:38 |
| andi5 | jonny_: you mean a symbolic link? just use rm, like `rm somelink` | 23:38 |
| Jeah | debatem1: If you want me to format again, that's fine. But it should have already been formatted during this process since I resized that partition and everything. | 23:38 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: Now I'm getting the "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" message | 23:38 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- okay, so throw in "-t ext3" right after "mount" | 23:38 |
| jonny_ | andi5: but says i can because it a folder | 23:38 |
| punkshui | apart from that i have a macbook, maybe someone could point me to a place where i could find out how to "tweak" ubuntu so that it works well with my laptop | 23:38 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: On the busybox I can start the md0 array with: mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/hda1. can this be helpful in any way? | 23:39 |
| debatem1 | jeah: resizing != formatting. resize can be nondestructive | 23:39 |
| Hristo | where to specify Mplayer subtitle encoding? help? | 23:39 |
| andi5 | jonny_: i am sorry, what do you mean? and what do you want to do? | 23:39 |
| WooD | debatem1: i have a little question for you again.. about virtualbox . wich I need to download if I install ubuntu 64 bit.. do I have to download Virtualbox for i386 or amd64 ? | 23:39 |
| stroyan | [Chief]: Was the new device information written back to the initrd file? | 23:39 |
| jonny_ | andi5: i create a folder that i use to link to a /media/disk | 23:39 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: | 23:39 |
| chuy | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb, | 23:39 |

| cyph3x | hello everyone, does anyone know how to improve the "connectability" of mhy atheros wifi card in my IBM z60t? | 23:39 |
| mobiusthought | and the bottom line on cedega is it has NEVER been able to keep up with the FPS I was used to on windows anyway. | 23:39 |
| debatem1 | wood: amd64 | 23:39 |
| ivonne | chat in spanish | 23:40 |
| WooD | debatem1: thank you | 23:40 |
| ivonne | chat in spanish | 23:40 |
| Jeah | debatem1: So if something is there, it's probably because the installer already put it there. If we have any hope of getting me back to the automated installer, we should at least consider leaving it. Otherwise (planning on completely manual install, whatever that implies) I can go ahead and format. | 23:40 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- did gparted identify the drive as hdb? | 23:40 |
| jonny_ | andi5: i need to delete it now because it create another folder inside the link folder | 23:40 |

| [Chief] | stroyan: I think I forgot to run mkinitrd :-( | 23:40 |
| debatem1 | mobiusthought: depends on whether you play D3D or openGL. D3D, no, openGL, it can come close | 23:40 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: can i boot the system from the busybox? | 23:40 |
| ivonne | muchas gracias!!! tank | 23:41 |
| andi5 | jonny_: you confuse me... there are: files, directories and symbolic links (among others),... these types are mutually exclusive | 23:41 |
| Jeah | debatem1: The only thing that should have been on that drive before I got to it was the files my guide said to put there for booting GRUB, I think. | 23:41 |
| andi5 | jonny_: a link can point to a file or directory though | 23:41 |
| A_Killer_Whale | I really need some help. Overnight I have had a major processor slowdown. My startup time went from 3 minutes to 45 minutes. I can't run most apps now. Just using Firefox takes up 100% of my CPU when it used to take 30 or so. What could cause this? | 23:41 |
| punkshui | anyone running ubuntu on a macbook? | 23:41 |
| speedbird | can someone help me with totem player .. how can i add my .sub files as subtitles ? | 23:42 |
| stroyan | [Chief]: I am definitely not an old hand at this. (I need to break my RAID boot a few more times yet. ;-) But it seems you could get the md0 and md1 working from busybox and then exit busybox to finish booting. | 23:42 |
| debatem1 | jeah: we'll deal with grub in a bit, but for right now you need to have a clean slate | 23:42 |
| andi5 | A_Killer_Whale: try to open a terminal and enter "top" (without the quotes) | 23:42 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Ok, so fdisk or what to clean it? | 23:42 |
| jonny_ | andi5: i wanted to use a folder to link to /media/disk i create a link but when i cd my link folder it contain another folder inside before i actually got the link i wanted and not the parent of the link | 23:42 |
| debatem1 | jeah: yeah | 23:42 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: when i exit the busybox, it tries to boot? | 23:42 |
| WooD | punkshui: I'm a Apple reseller and never seen this before... but maybe it is possible | 23:43 |
| mobiusthought | debatem- mine ARE OpenGL.. MOHAA has been my game for years.. I average 40-50 FPS in win, 10-20 under cedega | 23:43 |
| stroyan | [Chief]: That's what I recall. | 23:43 |
| A_Killer_Whale | Okay | 23:43 |
| mobiusthought | granted, I had to hack the crap out of it just to get Spearhead mod to run under cedega, that could be part of it... | 23:43 |
| andi5 | jonny_: ah, so the link target is incorrect? simply do `ln -sf /media/shared <my-source>`, where my-source is the location of the link and -f stands for force/overwrite | 23:43 |
| blackest | anyone know the difference between gnumeric and gnumeric-gtk ? | 23:44 |

| debatem1 | jeah just use fdisk to make, then use the mk<fs> commands to make your filesystem | 23:47 |
| punkshui | WooD well i get about 1.5 hrs of battery life in ubuntu ... while in OS X I get about 3 hours and up to much more with power saving options enabled | 23:47 |
| WooD | I like you guys . This is so a good channel for Newbie and advance users :) | 23:47 |
| punkshui | blackest how do i look at those things, should i google? | 23:47 |
| mobiusthought | so what does it tell you when you "mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /media/Spidora" ? | 23:47 |
| blackest | google it punkshui | 23:47 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: But when I have such an faulty disk and it won't boot, than it is very bad :-( | 23:47 |
| punkshui | blackest thx | 23:48 |
| xerxes1358 | I just wanted to say hi no help needed right now. But he I went to the movies today and guess what teenagers around 16 think a good making out movie isnt an good old fashioned horror movie but a documentary movie like " Earth" | 23:48 |
| punkshui | blackest worked for you? | 23:48 |
| WooD | punkshui: OK i see. Does keyboard shortcut does work on ubuntu side ? | 23:48 |
| Eyemean | hi if i used sudo apt-get comman, wat command do i use to uninstall same way | 23:48 |
| Eyemean | ps | 23:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | apt-get remove | 23:48 |
| _gtt_ | !hibernate | 23:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:48 |
| blackest | the p4 hack is especially nice my laptop will go beween 175 mhz and 1.4 ghz depending on load | 23:48 |
| Eyemean | cheers | 23:48 |
| _gtt_ | !suspend | 23:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:48 |
| smmagic | Is there any kind of audio program like envy? | 23:49 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Sorry, but not explicit enough, unfortunately. It's already made, so do I hit make again in fdisk? Or delete then make? Or do I not need to do either and go straight to the "mk<fs>"? And what's the exact command for that? | 23:49 |
| WooD | Is this complicated to get work 2 monitors on Ubuntu 7.10 ? | 23:49 |
| mobiusthought | that p4 hack sounds pretty sweet... nothing like that for AMD architecture, huh? | 23:49 |
| blackest | i think its been running a couple of weeks and its still cool to the touch | 23:49 |
| blackest | i dont know if its specific to p4 thou | 23:49 |
| blackest | it might not be | 23:49 |
| [Chief] | stroyan: I just looked and I have a initramfs and updated it, I will test a reboot tomorow, now I'm going to sleep, thank you again :-) | 23:50 |
| danonura | i'm about to format a drive i just cleaned off .then i'm going to install ubuntu 7.10.what should i do to start. what type of partition type? | 23:50 |
| Eyemean | i know nothing about servers, but i wanted to create a temp ftp server so my friend can download a few files from me, how could i do that easily please? | 23:50 |
| Goff256 | *sigh* Does anyone know where some guide is for using ubuntu? I was just given the CD, told it was better, somebody installed it, they never mentioned anything about it NOT being easy to use >.> | 23:50 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: Ok, Spidora now has something named Lost+Found in it, but I can't open it. What is this? | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danonura: I like ext3 and I suggest a partition for / root and one for /home plus your swap | 23:50 |
| andi5 | danonura: this will probably end in some sort of flame war, but i prefer xfs for all but /boot, but ext3 is fine as well | 23:50 |
| FastZ | mobiusthought: i'm running an AMD on my laptop and i have a widget that monitors the CPU speed and right now it's showing 800Mhz and when the load is heavy it gets up to the full (listed) speed of the CPU, which is 1.7Ghz | 23:51 |
| navlop | trying to connect to server using ssh and i get the following error RSA host key for 192.168.23.200 has changed and you have requested strict checking. | 23:51 |
| jebblue | smmagic don't know about Envy but try Audacity (excellent audio editor) Rosegarden (excellent sequencer) Hydrogen (excellent drums) | 23:51 |
| mobiusthought | danonura- I recommend putting everything but your swap partition under a LVM.. create swap, 2x your mem size, then an extended partition for the rest | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !envy | 23:51 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 23:51 |
| WooD | Ubuntu is compatible with multiple Monitors ? | 23:51 |
| debatem1 | jeah: go ahead and use fdisk to set up your partition scheme- your swap, root, /home, and if you want it /var etc. then use mkfs -t <fstype> /dev/whatever to finish it up | 23:51 |
| smmagic | jebblue: I actually need a way to get the drivers for this sound card | 23:51 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- honestly, I've seen it a million times, but couldn't tell you... I do believe it means you're mounted, though.. you got no error that time? | 23:51 |
| jebblue | smmagic ah ok | 23:52 |
| punkshui | blackest i'm not sure what this lmsensors thing is supposed to do and i can't find the "P4 Hack" | 23:52 |
| xerxes1358 | He what is a good opensource game in linux? In windows I like Sid Myers civilization 4 | 23:52 |
| danonura | Jack_Sparrow:thanks. its been a while that i actually read about what to and i'm anxious to get started | 23:52 |
| zero88 | ok, ive googled the past two days on how to learn about packets. and cant find a thing on them. can anyone point me in the right direction? | 23:52 |
| punkshui | xerxes1358 search the repositories there is a civ-like game in there | 23:52 |
| linxeh | !dvd | 23:52 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danonura: Two ext3 plus your swap is a goos solid start | 23:52 |
| danonura | thanks andi5 | 23:52 |
| andi5 | punkshui: lmsensors features userspace (non-kernel) tools to detect and read from hardware sensors, i.e. you can see how hot your cpu is and alike | 23:53 |
| mobiusthought | smmagic- if you have a good internet connection, I recommend d/l'ing Ubuntu Studio.. it has SOOO much good audio/video editing stuff, I'm making remixes, and haven't even touched half the packages yet | 23:53 |
| Jeah | debatem1: mkfs: not found. | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danonura: If you have room make one extra ext3 and mount it as data or whatever.. but avoid mounting in media | 23:53 |
| punkshui | andi5 would that improve battery life at all? | 23:53 |
| mobiusthought | xerxes- try FreeCiv | 23:53 |
| andi5 | punkshui: i doubt that, but i may be wrong | 23:53 |
| danonura | i'm familiar with fat32,sort of. what is ext3? | 23:53 |
| A_Killer_Whale | andi5: I've been running top for a few minutes now, and it looks like it is just telling me my system processes. | 23:53 |
| WooD | any of you guys have Ubuntu working on Dual Screen Mode ? | 23:53 |
| danonura | wait i'll google it | 23:53 |
| debatem1 | jeah: k, check to see if you have mke3fs | 23:54 |
| andi5 | A_Killer_Whale: what is the top entry and does it show a high usage percentage? | 23:54 |
| punkshui | blackest could you send me a link for p4 hack? | 23:54 |
| Jeah | debatem1: Nope. | 23:54 |
| navlop | Can someone look at this and tell me how to fix my error...http://pastebin.com/df69624e | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danonura: Linux partition, you cant use fat for linux os | 23:54 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: No error... | 23:54 |
| Goff256 | I guess I just get to dive in and make a fool of myself *sigh* I don't know the terminology or anything and am thus confused when I try to install something and it tells me to | 23:54 |
| Goff256 | `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type | 23:54 |
| Goff256 | `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're | 23:54 |
| Goff256 | using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type | 23:54 |
| Goff256 | `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute | 23:54 |
| Goff256 | `configure' itself. | 23:55 |
| navlop | i'm trying to connect to my newly installed server | 23:55 |
| syntaxerror55 | !pastebin | Goff256 | 23:55 |
| ubotu | Goff256: 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) | 23:55 |
| andi5 | navlop: go to the file and remove the line mentioned, that is all | 23:55 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- so try making directories, moving files there, etc... see if it's all working as an empty filesystem should | 23:55 |
| A_Killer_Whale | Andi5: Kacpid is the highest demanding process | 23:55 |
| debatem1 | jeah: k, what environment are you running currently? | 23:55 |
| punkshui | andi5 would you know anything about improving battery life in ubuntu? | 23:55 |
| GomoX | Hey | 23:55 |
| navlop | andi5 on the server side | 23:55 |
| Jeah | debatem1: I believe it's an ash shell if that's possibly a correct answer. | 23:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danonura: Linux/Ubutu can read and write to fat32 if you want to share data with windows etc... but there are other ways | 23:55 |
| syntaxerror55 | A quick question. In Dapper, why whenever I run a program from the CLI (such as gedit) I get this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3329/, but the program launches fine? | 23:55 |
| GomoX | I have what I think is a bad flash memory card - how can I partition it and then wipe it under ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: No, It seems the permissions are all screwed up. How can I change this? | 23:56 |
| andi5 | navlop: known_hosts? that should be client-side | 23:56 |
| GomoX | fdisk gives "can't read /dev/sdc" | 23:56 |
| navlop | k ty | 23:56 |
| Goff256 | I guess I just get to dive in and make a fool of myself *sigh* I don't know the terminology or anything and am thus confused when I try to install something and it tells me to "CD to the directory containing the package's source code" >.> | 23:56 |
| danonura | Jack_Sparrow: thanks. | 23:56 |
| andi5 | punkshui: nope, sorry... please keep asking the others | 23:56 |
| debatem1 | jeah: how did you get there? previous install? | 23:56 |
| GomoX | mount tells me there are no sdcX devices | 23:56 |
| Jeah | debatem1: built into the install program | 23:56 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- open your filebrowser, and go to /etc/fstab (open in text editor) | 23:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:56 |
| mobiusthought | this will show all your automounted filesystems.. you'll want it here, so that you don't need to mount every time you boot | 23:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | Goff256, I was just telling you to use a pastebin. |: | 23:57 |
| andi5 | A_Killer_Whale: hm... is that a kde program? maybe you should stop/kill it? | 23:57 |
| Jeah | debatem1: BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash) | 23:57 |
| hd3850 | hello | 23:57 |
| mobiusthought | basically, copy a line from above down to a new line, changing the /dev/ to /dev/hdb1 and telling it where to mount | 23:57 |
| Goff256 | I'm useless with a computer | 23:57 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: done. | 23:57 |
| punkshui | blackest i think that was some kind of scam that you sent me to, the p4 hack seems to have something to do with directv hacking | 23:57 |
| A_Killer_Whale | andi5: Well, I don't even have KDE installed. I'm not sure if I should kill it because it is being run by root. | 23:58 |
| punkshui | can anyone else offer me a suggestion on how to improve battery life on the macbook in ubuntu? | 23:58 |
| Eyemean | if i want to create a temp ftp server where do i get server name or address from pls, i know jack all about it, lol | 23:58 |
| andi5 | Goff256: so typically you are sold without computers? ;-) | 23:58 |
| blackest | no take a look here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=52814&page=3 | 23:58 |
| mikebot | Does anyone here know how to get a webcam to work in pidgin?...in ubuntu. | 23:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | punkshui: Let me check it out | 23:58 |
| andi5 | A_Killer_Whale: ah, then K may stand for kernel? eek | 23:58 |
| syntaxerror55 | Goff256, alright. I read your message. First, what program are you even installing? | 23:58 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: "/dev/hdb1 /media/Spidora ext3 defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0" Right? | 23:58 |
| Odd-rationale | mikebot: Pidgin does not have webcam support, i believe | 23:58 |
| debatem1 | jeah: k, here's what I'm getting at. this is a a complex process. it's really, really, really easy to screw up, and not for the amateur. its why linux had such a huge reputation for being impossible to install for years. if you are using debian now, why not just do the dist-upgrade? | 23:58 |
| andi5 | A_Killer_Whale: how many per cent of the cpu does it demand? does a google search help, as i am rather clueless | 23:58 |
| Goff256 | Cheetah | 23:58 |
| mikebot | Odd-rationale: IS there any chatting program for ubuntu that does? | 23:59 |
| Odd-rationale | mikebot: At least, not yet. | 23:59 |
| blackest | its better to look for p4-clockmod | 23:59 |
| notabug | mikebot: you need the driver for your brand loaded | 23:59 |
| Odd-rationale | mikebot: ekiga? | 23:59 |
| xerxes1358 | Is it possible to install crossover that I have via the apt manager of Ubuntu ? | 23:59 |
| mobiusthought | chuy- that's fine, "defaults" will include read/write permissions, so you can reset, and come back here if it still doesn't work | 23:59 |
| syntaxerror55 | !info cheetah | 23:59 |
| ubotu | Package cheetah does not exist in gutsy | 23:59 |
| danonura | can i add programs to 7.10 and have myth running on 7.10? | 23:59 |
| A_Killer_Whale | andi5: It demands around 58% | 23:59 |
| notabug | and your application set to read /dev/video0 | 23:59 |
| syntaxerror55 | ok. | 23:59 |
| pbx | sshfs question -- I can successfully mount a remote directory, but I'm doing something wrong with id mapping -- owner shows up as "?" and permissions are 000. I used "-o idmap=user" and usernames are the same on both ends. What am I missing? | 23:59 |
| andi5 | A_Killer_Whale: that is a lot | 23:59 |
| blackest | essentially you just add it to /etc/modules | 23:59 |
| mikebot | notabug: For pidgin? | 23:59 |
| Jeah | debatem1: I'm not using debian. It's the installer for Xubuntu (just Debian based). I'm still in the installer, just getting a shell from it. | 23:59 |
| mikebot | Odd-rationale: Is that in the repositories? | 23:59 |
| syntaxerror55 | Goff256, I don't really know what Cheetah is, but where did you download it to? Is it still tarred? | 23:59 |
| chuy | mobiusthought: What do you mean "defaults"? | 23:59 |
| Jeah | debatem1: and I'm still partially installed, I think. | 23:59 |
| navlop | andi5, thanks it worked | 23:59 |
| Odd-rationale | mikebot: yes, it comes default in ubuntu. | 23:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xerxes1358: No. | 23:59 |
