| Hal9000 | i started my ubuntu 7.10 yesterday, and i had a bunch of updates (wasnt using it for some weeks)... those updates screwed my ubuntu install completelly, it won't boot anymore! when selecting the OS in grub i get this error: "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format" | 00:00 |
| spencer70 | ya | 00:00 |
| jabagawe1 | okay then | 00:00 |
| gnoift | Toaster`: can you relogin to the machine and use the -X flag with ssh? | 00:00 |
| Hal9000 | even the recovery mode!! | 00:00 |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, no i'll explain again | 00:01 |
| rredd4 | imaginator the software that came with it, (maxtor hd) will format it, but i want it ext3 not ntfs | 00:01 |
| * ArthurArchnix puts on listening cap. | 00:01 | |

| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, gutsy installed fine ..booted into linux (thru grub)..things seemed fine there..then rebooted into windows (thru grub)..windows booted fine..now when I rebooted..I never got to the grub display screen..it always keeps rebooting before it shows the options menu | 00:02 |
| Aeleon | haha, thanks, Ubuntu-fan, it's going to get deleted as soon as i transfer it. | 00:02 |

| gnoift | Toaster`: so let me get this right, you want to forward a already existing and running x progs to another X display somewhre else? | 00:03 |

| PriceChild | Ubuntu-fan, what are you trying to do? | 00:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | arag0rn: I suppose it's possible that a third party resize tool like gparted messed up the partition table and windows tries to fix it... if that's the case then using the restore cd to fixmbr and then running a filesystem scan should solve your problems. | 00:18 |

| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, while installing I had set ubuntu to use a different logical partition to mount /boot | 00:20 |
| PriceChild | Ubuntu-fan, pretty sure you also don't need to stop the sniffing before trying the cracking | 00:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | arag0rn: I don't know. My best guess is no. Grub puts info into the MBR after that, logical or primary wouldn't matter much. | 00:21 |

I need a biff or mail checker that can work either with IMAP or Maildir++ but it needs to be able to detect mail in any folder as I use maildrop to route mail to folders | 00:22 |

| ubotu | ThinkingMan: 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 | 00:22 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 00:22 |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, hmm and MBR is present on first sector of each hard disk right ? | 00:22 |
| gnoift | <l337_n166a> hm. sorry i can't help you there, i'm actually still now sure what the diff is between gldesktop and compiz enabled | 00:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | arag0rn: Yup. | 00:22 |
| gnoift | <l337_n166a> now=not | 00:22 |
| Ubuntu-fan | PriceChild: Do you know of a good documentation.. I havent really been using one :-/ | 00:23 |
| ArthurArchnix | arag0rn: What's the second hd for? | 00:23 |
| ThinkingMan | yeah, I've already been throug what ubotu says | 00:23 |
| * ThinkingMan gives the bot a dirty look | 00:23 | |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, as of now its empty :) | 00:23 |
| Safiyyah | hi all | 00:23 |
| jmaldon | Can someone please explain how to install grub to an external usb floppy drive rather than to the hard disk when installing a fresh copy of ubuntu? i'm not trying to install linux on the usb drive but GRUB ONLY | 00:23 |
| syntaxerror55 | ThinkingMan: so you've tried to fix flash the unsupported way? | 00:23 |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, I'm thinking of installing ubuntu on that | 00:23 |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, now that this doesnt seem to work | 00:23 |
| PriceChild | Ubuntu, i don't sorry, and believe it pointless for you to be trying it | 00:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | ThinkingMan: just download it from adobe and follow the instructions, takes literall 10-15sec | 00:24 |
| Safiyyah | I have downloaded both the live CD and the DVD, both autoload within windows but when I use them to bootup (so that I can get on with the installation) they stall.... any1? | 00:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | arag0rn: Just to simplify things, why not unplug it completely before re-attempting this. Fixmbr, run a fixdisk scan from within windows. Then install ubuntu. | 00:24 |
| ThinkingMan | IndyGunFreak: I guess I'll try that way | 00:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | Oh, and check your installation cd for errors. | 00:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | ThinkingMan: its the easiest way, i do it that way, even when the installer is working.. just download the .tar file and follow the instructions | 00:24 |
| Ubuntu-fan | PriceChild: Why pointless? | 00:24 |
| gnoift | PriceChild, you don't know of anyone maintaining a repo for snort and 710? | 00:24 |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, ok.. I'll try that too..that seems a much cleaner approach as well | 00:25 |
| Flare183 | 710? | 00:25 |
| PriceChild | gnoift, no | 00:25 |
| arag0rn | ArthurArchnix, thanks for the help | 00:25 |
| gnoift | Flare183 7.10 | 00:25 |
| Ubuntu-fan | gnoift are you trying airsnort too ? | 00:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | arag0rn: np. good luck. | 00:25 |
| eric | I'm running gutsy and am having some issues getting any flash player to work. I have installed every way reccomended and even tried gnash and mozilla still wont load my flash vids. | 00:25 |
| Safiyyah | ArthurArchnix, it stalls for the too, just says it is loading and then it stalls, does same no matter which option is selected | 00:25 |
| gnoift | Ubuntu-fan, no just snort | 00:25 |
| helluvaCSMajor | nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty? | 00:25 |
| Ubuntu-fan | gnoift what is that ? | 00:25 |
| Flare183 | oh | 00:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | eric: have you installed Flash from adobe's site?.. the flash installer is broken | 00:25 |
| * ArthurArchnix waves goodbye. | 00:26 | |
| gnoift | Ubuntu-fan, snort lets you know if someone is trying to hack into your machine, it looks at network traffic | 00:26 |
| Safiyyah | archangelpetro, (my drive is also unformated wanted to put it into extention 3 using the live disk).... is that the problem | 00:26 |
| archangelpetro | ? | 00:26 |
| Ubuntu-fan | gnoift so basically I counter airsnort ? Or a method to detect attacks used by airsnort and others ? | 00:27 |
| LupinZX | is there a program for linux that allows to send messages across local networks to other computers? | 00:27 |

| javaccen | can someone help me troubleshoot why i am getting 80mbps transfer over gigE with ubuntu? | 00:27 |
| Slart | LupinZX: there's also regular mail.. im.. irc etc | 00:27 |

| helluvaCSMajor | nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty? | 00:28 |
| VSpike | LupinZX: it may be overkill but you could run your own jabber server and then you can take your pick of clients | 00:29 |
| gnoift | ubuntu-fan; for nice intusion detection you can use ossec but it's not supported. used it on debian before and it worked fantastic. ask some of the older ubu guys what they use | 00:29 |
| imaginator | eric: you may want to remove gnash and others if not... | 00:29 |
| ThinkingMan | IndyGunFreak: thanks for the tip, adobe's install works no prob | 00:29 |
| Safiyyah | lets try again | 00:29 |
| josiah | ah... feels so good to have ubuntu up and running again | 00:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | ThinkingMan: i don't know why that just wasn't put in the !flash ubotu output.. those other steps on that link, are far more complex... the source code takes seconds | 00:30 |
| ThinkingMan | IndyGunFreak: absolutely | 00:30 |
| helluvaCSMajor | nautilus only shows parts of icons and emblems, some more shows up when i highlight the icon, how do i fix this in feisty? | 00:30 |

| nickrud | bluefox83: in the directory you were in when you called wgat | 00:30 |
| Phoul | anyone? | 00:30 |

| Blinkiz | Am having a DVD inside a .img file that I want to play with mplayer. I guess I need to mount the DVD some way to be able to play it with mplayer. How can I mount a .img file and then point mplayer on to it? | 00:32 |
| Ax-Ax | Why can't I design the cds? I own! | 00:32 |
| Ax-Ax | http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u151/ax-ax/ubuntucd.jpg | 00:32 |
| Flare183 | Blinkiz: just mplayer play it | 00:32 |
| imaginator | Blinkiz: you want a loopback mount | 00:32 |
| megaribi | SAndma2: Do you have picture at all? | 00:33 |
| gnoift | night guys | 00:33 |
| Blinkiz | imaginator: Okay, and that is? :) | 00:33 |
| imaginator | Blinkix: or as Flare183 suggested you may be able to use mplayer directly. man mount has information on loopback mounts | 00:33 |
| Blinkiz | Flare183.... okay | 00:33 |
| Flare183 | yeah | 00:34 |
| Mikealcl | at a friends house, his sound is all static when we play anything in ubuntu, mixer looks normal, any ideas? | 00:35 |
| Blinkiz | oh, Flare183 was a nickname here on #ubuntu :D Started to search the net for a package named flare183 :P | 00:35 |
| cvasilak | anybody having a correct ubuntu logo image so that i can put it on top and down on compiz cube? | 00:35 |
| `Zmax` | hello guys, I have a Samsung i600 Smartphone (HSDPA), I would like to connect to the internet through it... Do you know if exist an "Active Sync" emulator or clone for Linux ? | 00:35 |
| imaginator | Blinkiz: just for future reference, something like: mount /path/to/foo.img /mnt -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0... I think the mount manual has examples. | 00:35 |
| preaction | Mikealcl, i would start with the speakers and the speaker wire | 00:36 |
| Blinkiz | Flare183: Yes, I can just point mplayer to the .img file but dvd menus, subtitles and so on, does not seems to work. | 00:36 |
| pierreth | hello, I am unable to install from the cd | 00:36 |
| Blinkiz | imaginator: Thanks for that line. | 00:36 |
| pierreth | I cannot get a full boot from the cd | 00:36 |
| Draggin | Well... I'm back... In a way that I have not anticipated... | 00:37 |
| Miu | hiii | 00:37 |
| pierreth | Ubuntu is unble to start X | 00:37 |
| Safiyyah | lol draggin why? | 00:37 |
| imaginator | pierreth: did you check if your video card is supported? | 00:37 |
| megaribi | Piereth, do you have more than 384 megabytes? | 00:37 |
| Draggin | Tell me, is there any easy to use text-web browser that I can install? I don't have access to GNOME at all at the moment... | 00:37 |
| pierreth | imaginator: no, where should I go? | 00:37 |
| imaginator | Draggin: links seems pretty easy to use | 00:37 |
| Phoul | Hey, Does anyone know where abouts i can find the compiz setup thing, not the three option "low med high" but the actual setup stuff | 00:38 |
| Mikealcl | cables are correct, nothing but single audio plugged in (no mic, line in, etc) | 00:38 |
| Draggin | imaginator - and is that available in the repositories? | 00:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ati | pierreth | 00:38 |
| ubotu | pierreth: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:38 |
| Draggin | imaginator - apt-get install links ?? | 00:38 |
| tretle | pierreth : click on f6 for advanced boot options and type noapic and then press enter | 00:38 |
| imaginator | Draggin: that should work | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | pierreth: nevermind, i thought you were having trouble with ATI drivers.; | 00:39 |
| pierreth | F6 when I see the menu of the boot cd? | 00:39 |
| Draggin | imaginator - thanks - I'll give it a shot | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | pierreth: how fast did you burn the disk? | 00:39 |
| imaginator | pierreth: just a moment. I don't recall where the hardware list is. | 00:39 |
| tretle | pierreth : yes | 00:39 |
| pierreth | IndyGunFreak: the disk is working, I did install before on other machines | 00:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok | 00:39 |

| pierreth | I was able to install without problem with this version | 00:42 |
| Flare183 | !dialup | 00:42 |
| ubotu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 00:42 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: using k3b? | 00:42 |
| bastid_raZor | nj786:: do you have k3b installed? | 00:42 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: yes | 00:43 |
| pierreth | My mother manufacturer is not listed | 00:43 |
| megaribi | nj786: fastest way dd if=/dev/cdrom of=my.iso then wait then cdrecord my.iso | 00:43 |
| bastid_raZor | nj786:: simply put the dvd in the drive open k3b and select Tool > Copy DVD | 00:43 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: i have it opened i just want to make a copy of a dvd | 00:43 |
| pierreth | mother borad | 00:43 |
| happy1 | gnoift: yeah, i finally figured it out, thanks. anyone know why Nautilus is so buggy and why there doesn't seem to be any rush to fix the pleathora of bugs? the darn thing can't even copy large files to & from Windows shares. | 00:43 |
| pierreth | I have an EVGA board | 00:43 |
| gregor2000 | hi | 00:44 |
| william | all in a sudden my sound isn't working. the system acts like it believes it's playing | 00:44 |
| imaginator | happy1: software development is difficult, and motivating people even more so. | 00:44 |
| phoul | Thats odd.... | 00:44 |
| phoul | Anyone whos a master with nvidia compiz please message me | 00:44 |
| bastid_raZor | william:: the volume turned down? | 00:44 |
| Draggin | imaginator - thanks - I got it and it's working beautifully :) | 00:44 |
| imaginator | Draggin: good | 00:44 |
| william | no it's turned all the way up | 00:44 |
| imaginator | :) | 00:44 |
| happy1 | gnoift: actually, i am curious if there is a single command that will mount everything that was automatically mounted at startup, tho? | 00:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Hey people. I am trying to figure out a way, on the UNIX command line, to generate a JPG that would be a screen capture of a given URL. Know how to do this? | 00:45 |
| megaribi | Pierreth: Current versions of Ubuntu can not work if you have less than 384 megabytes RAM. Did you check? | 00:45 |
| pierreth | megaribi: I have 2GB | 00:45 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: does it matter if the orig cd is DVD+R AND THE BLANK ONE IS DVD-R? | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | megaribi: sure they can | 00:45 |
| happy1 | gnoift: certainly mount -o remount /whateverismountedthatyouwanttoremount is better than manually mounting everything, but it would be nice to do it all in w/ one command | 00:45 |
| bastid_raZor | william:: in a terminal type alsamixer and see if any of them are not | 00:46 |
| bastid_raZor | nj786:: that should not matter. | 00:46 |
| Laurenceb | whats gstreamer? | 00:46 |
| pierreth | tretle: I will try the F6 thing, see you later... | 00:46 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: thank you very much u just saved me from bruises ; ) | 00:46 |

| Laurenceb | I cant get a pls stream to open, it worked yesterday, now no :( | 00:46 |
| Fixer | :) | 00:46 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: is there anything else? | 00:47 |
| MrObvious | Laurenceb: Did you reboot? | 00:47 |
| bastid_raZor | nj786:: glad i could help. nothing else.. | 00:47 |
| stroyan | happy1: "sudo mount -a" will try to mount everything that is listed in /etc/fstab. | 00:47 |
| william | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 00:47 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: oh and btw is it suposed to burn fast? | 00:47 |
| Laurenceb | yes | 00:47 |
| bastid_raZor | william:: i guess you don't have the alsa drivers.. | 00:47 |
| bastid_raZor | nj786:: that depends on your burner. | 00:48 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: its already on 31% | 00:48 |
| Laurenceb | MrObvious, just rebooted | 00:48 |
| william | bastid i have had this ubuntu system running on gutsy since gutsy came out and it's been fine | 00:48 |
| Laurenceb | it worked before I rebooted | 00:48 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: i see. | 00:48 |
| MrObvious | Laurenceb: I would go through the steps you got to get it working and then see if you can get it to work again. You might need to modprobe something. | 00:48 |
| bastid_raZor | william:: that is my sound drivers. that doesn't mean you need them .. just that i'm out of options to help :\ | 00:49 |
| MrObvious | Who here is running x64? Do you guys like it? | 00:49 |
| Laurenceb | "gstreamer plugins could not be found" | 00:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | ya. | 00:49 |
| Laurenceb | should I reinstall gstreamer? | 00:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Laurenceb: send me a link to what you're trying to watch | 00:50 |
| Safiyyah | HELP! burnt the CD and DVD and they bootup + loads fine only when you select an option they say.. "loading kernel etc" then they hang... whats the matter? | 00:50 |
| MrObvious | It might be your audio drivers Laurenceb too. | 00:50 |
| Safiyyah | please not my Gparted disk which I also downloaded and burnt works fine, I just dont know how to use it | 00:50 |
| Lynet | I'm trying to run 7.10 as guest under vmware server. The thing locks up or the clock goes haywire. Is this a known problem, or do I have a botched installation? | 00:50 |
| Safiyyah | note* | 00:50 |
| Laurenceb | IndyGunFreak: anything from http://www.di.fm/ | 00:50 |
| MrObvious | Hmm, I got a big problem. I'm pinging my router which I'm connected wirelessly to (it's only a foot away) and I'm getting pings in the 5 MS range. | 00:51 |

| nj786 | bastid_raZor: for some reason my screen turned black and white(dim) | 00:53 |
| slap | jabagawee, checked restricted drivers ? | 00:53 |
| jabagawee | no restricted drivers avaiable | 00:53 |
| bastid_raZor | william:: it seems you are using alsa drivers. sure all the speakers are plugged in? | 00:53 |
| megaribi | Did anybody encounter problem with random lockup of Gutsy, discussed for example in this forum http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=54dca74d5970647a504e8376ac6910fc&t=587905#post3608200 ? Is there solution for this problem, because I still have it, no matter if I disabled Compiz effects, upgraded kernel to 2.6.24 or tried with acpi=off. My card is ATI, so I can not try sugessted replacing nvidia with nv driver. | 00:53 |
| jabagawee | its a zonet zew2500p usb device. i think its based on rt2500 or rt2570 | 00:53 |
| william | bastid_razor i have tried different speakers too, but no change | 00:54 |
| william | i also checked in bios | 00:54 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: and the download is stuck on 50% | 00:54 |
| bastid_raZor | nj786:: download? | 00:54 |
| nj786 | bastid_raZor: yea the burning | 00:54 |

| jabagawee | anyone care to help me find an .inf driver? | 00:59 |
| megaribi | makers_mark: It seems that some background program uses your CPU cycles. Try install some light window manager like jwm and login with this session to see if it is faster. | 01:00 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: It works on the livecd, right? | 01:01 |
| jabagawee | yes | 01:01 |
| Lynet | So boot the livecd and check which driver it loads. | 01:01 |
| jabagawee | how? | 01:01 |

| Blinkiz | I have mounted a remote nfs path into my /mnt folder. Everything is working except when I try to access files on that nfs path with user "root". Then I get permission denied. The files am trying to access is owned by niklas:niklas and should be like this. How can I make so "root" as permission to read/write files on the remote nfs path? | 01:03 |
| jabagawee | although, im not afraid to get my hands wet | 01:03 |
| bobbob1016 | Would you guys suggest tracker or google desktop? I'm a little google paranoid, but tracker is giving me problems. | 01:03 |
| `Matir | Anyone here using Hardy on a daily basis yet? | 01:04 |
| jrib | bobbob1016: I'd suggest trying to work out the tracker problems, and if it's futile then maybe jump to google. Consider beagle too. | 01:04 |
| jrib | !hardy | `Matir | 01:04 |

| ibrahim | hi all i have new asus f3sa notebook i can not install ubuntu | 01:04 |
| jabagawee | lynet? i do not know what you mean by dmesg and lsmod. | 01:05 |
| jabagawee | i understand, however, that they are cli programs | 01:05 |
| ibrahim | during the installation some error occurs | 01:05 |
| ibrahim | is there anyone | 01:05 |
| ibrahim | can help me | 01:05 |
| bots | what error? | 01:05 |
| jrib | tacone: system -> preferences -> indexing. And Accessories -> Tracker to run a search | 01:05 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: I sent you a msg. | 01:05 |
| bobbob1016 | jrib, It works fine, then occasionally stops, and I have to restart it from scratch. I had beagle, I switched to tracker since I was under the understanding it was better, I have no preference either way. | 01:05 |
| tacone | jrib: thanks | 01:05 |
| tacone | ibrahim: what error ? | 01:05 |
| jabagawee | and i did not receive that message | 01:06 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: Open a cli and do "dmesg | less" (without the quotes). Look for any lines mentioning loading a wireless driver. | 01:06 |
| tacone | jrib: it returns nothing | 01:06 |
| jabagawee | so dmesg pipe to less? | 01:06 |
| McKayCR | If i reboot my PowerPC G4, I have to reset my wireless nic to restore my network connection. Any suggestions? | 01:06 |
| tacone | jrib: I already went to Indexing Preferences | 01:06 |
| jrib | tacone: you need to let it index stuff first. Make sure the daemon is running | 01:06 |
| tacone | jrib: it is | 01:07 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: yes | 01:07 |
| tacone | jrib: I thought result would appear incrementally | 01:07 |

| ibrahim | bots: bin/sh : can not access tty: job control turned off (initramfs) erorr | 01:08 |
| jrib | tacone: there is a deskbar plugin, yes | 01:08 |
| jabagawee | what should i be looking for in the less output? | 01:08 |
| megaribi | phoul: Go to Advanced options and check if Windows decorations is check | 01:08 |

| jabagawee | i see some lines starting with wlan0 | 01:09 |
| jrib | tacone: not sure, try the tracker home page | 01:09 |

| McKayCR | ok how about an easier one, how do I remove shortcuts from my menu bar at the top of my screen? | 01:14 |
| jrib | McKayCR: right click -> remove | 01:15 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: Ah, that sounds like it. | 01:15 |
| McKayCR | I'm on a powerbook G4, there is no right click | 01:15 |
| megaribi | _MattB: I think it is not possible, but you can do dd in smaller chunks | 01:15 |
| ibrahim | tacone: i have a asus f3sa if you want i can write features of notebokk | 01:15 |
| jabagawee | now what? | 01:15 |
| phoul | Does anyone know the name of the compiz manager to fine tune compiz | 01:16 |
| bombuzal | McKayCR, [Apple]-click? :P | 01:16 |
| phoul | IM trying to find it and im having no luck | 01:16 |
| jrib | McKayCR: better question is then, "How to right click on a powerbook?" (I don't know) | 01:16 |
| bots | McKayCR: does ctrl+click still operate like a right click? | 01:16 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: Hmm, strange. That's an open source driver, it should be available by default both on the livecd and in a regular install. | 01:16 |
| jabagawee | lsmod is also saying something about rt73usb | 01:16 |
| megaribi | phoul: Advanced Desktop Configuration | 01:16 |
| tacone | tracker log gives this error: ERROR: could not get file id for /usr/share//applications/anjuta.desktop - unable to continue indexing this file | 01:16 |
| phoul | megaribi, where is that located | 01:17 |
| bombuzal | brb | 01:17 |
| McKayCR | [Apple] + click and ctrl+click doesn't seem to work, it just activates the program | 01:17 |
| jabagawee | btw, im on a separate machine, so i can reboot the affected computer | 01:17 |
| McKayCR | I have never had a MAC before, and I never used linux either | 01:18 |
| jabagawee | McKayCR: do you have any two buttoned mice in your house? | 01:18 |
| McKayCR | yes | 01:18 |
| McKayCR | nice I didn't think of that | 01:18 |
| jabagawee | lol | 01:19 |
| megaribi | phoul: In system/preferences menu | 01:19 |
| jabagawee | Lynet: you researching my problem or just afk? | 01:19 |
| McKayCR | ok, lets try another. How do I remove a shared folder from my computer | 01:20 |
| McKayCR | right click it too? | 01:20 |
| Lynet | jabagawee: I'm not familiar with that driver, so busy googling right now. | 01:20 |
| bots | remove as in delete or remove as in un-share? | 01:20 |
| phoul | megaribi, nothing in there is called that, The only thing relevant to compiz is the appearance thing and thats just three levels of stuff not really configuring it | 01:20 |
| jabagawee | i found something about rt2500usb here too... | 01:20 |
| McKayCR | I mapped to one of my other computers, but I did it wrong so the mapping doesn't work and I want to delete it | 01:21 |
| megaribi | So, login as user you first created, this that can be sudo | 01:21 |

| PriceChild | jabagawee, do you have an alternative internet connection for that machine, wired? | 01:32 |

| ironfoot_495 | jrib: thanx | 01:33 |
| Intangir | hey, my screen only comes up at 640x480 | 01:33 |
| PriceChild | jabagawee, because you need to install the "module-assistant" package, then use it to build rt2500-source | 01:33 |
| nickrud | kama: when konqueror gets updated to use the new plugin structure | 01:33 |
| jabagawee | if absolutely necessary, i can move the machine | 01:33 |
| kriel | bastid_raZor: but that dosen't use a client/server setup, does it? | 01:33 |
| wirechief | kriel yes, i guess thats why i use it ;-) | 01:33 |
| Draggin | Okay... Can someone tell me... If you really want to become a pro Linux user, what's the best way of going about it without ultimately destroying your PC? I find that I learn most when things break and I have to try and get them up and running again, but this isn't very practical if your computer is also the one you need for doing work | 01:33 |
| wers | clearlooks looks different now. when was it updated | 01:33 |
| PriceChild | jabagawee, you can download it and its dependencies then move them over on a flash disk | 01:33 |
| blindrat | nickrud: actually I guess its the same proceedure to just build a gutsy chroot | 01:33 |
| nickrud | blindrat: often, yes. But ubuntu tweaks stuff enough that behavior is unpredictable | 01:33 |
| wirechief | kriel i realized that right after i said it... | 01:33 |
| jrib | Draggin: install linux in a virtual machine and play all you want | 01:33 |
| Laurenceb | can anyone help me? | 01:33 |
| bastid_raZor | kriel:: it is command line.. and it requires you to accept keys for each. there is a simple yes to hit enter to and that is it | 01:33 |
| jabagawee | pricechild: do you have a jabber or aim account? id like to talk without all this background chatter, and pidgin doesn't like irc PMs. | 01:33 |
| kriel | bastid_raZor: I apologize, I should have specified that that's something I'm looking for as well. | 01:33 |
| kama | hmmm, i dont have a clue what konqueror is | 01:33 |
| Laurenceb | how do I open a tcl file? | 01:33 |
| PriceChild | jabagawee, or with a working net connection on the livecd, you could chroot in and download it from there | 01:33 |

| hqxriven | oi | 01:34 |
| kriel | bastid_raZor: Ah, so it's similar to ssh? | 01:34 |
| jabagawee | pricechild, do you have jabber or aim? | 01:34 |

| hqxriven | valeu!!! | 01:34 |
| jrib | Draggin: virtualbox (and others) let you run an operating system in a window seperate from your main operating system. And you can save and restore points so there's no worry of breaking anything | 01:34 |
| nickrud | icesword: its bitmapped fonts for X , not really used much now since ttf is well supported | 01:35 |
| daftpunkk | nickrud, will not eidting this "bootloader" give me that ntloader error again? | 01:35 |
| kama | is there dosbox or something similar in ubuntu? | 01:35 |
| Draggin | jrib - and does virtualbox run in Windows? And is it free? | 01:35 |
| jrib | Draggin: I think so, and yes | 01:35 |
| Laurenceb | travalas: I think run | 01:35 |
| kriel | bastid_raZor: how do you specify what directory to send the file to? The manpage isn't exactly the most verbose. | 01:35 |
| bastid_raZor | Draggin:: you could try the free version of VMware. it works in windows yes. | 01:35 |
| Draggin | kama - you can install DosBox in ubuntu | 01:35 |
| nickrud | daftpunkk: hopefully not. if you tell me your windows partition and put a copy of the menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org I'll help you set up a standard windows boot | 01:35 |

| sFEARs | yes home is on a separate partition and i'm compiling in /usr/src/linux | 01:38 |
| jrib | kwame: yes | 01:38 |
| nickrud | Intangir: switch to xchat for your irc , it's much better (you can turn off part/join and lines to you are in red) | 01:38 |
| adub_ | in xchat how can i have my users list on the right hand side | 01:38 |
| nickrud | sFEARs: do the compile in home then | 01:39 |
| icesword | nickrud, so you did not have x installed on your machine,you didn't like it? | 01:39 |
| sFEARs | i didn't even think of that | 01:39 |

| wsgued1 | ok, so i have 2 hdds, 1 is 80gb and it holds the ubuntu OS... the other is a 250 gb hdd that holds all my music and videos and the nunsuch... for some reason, ubuntu doesnt see the other drive... why is this? | 01:44 |
| efif | hi, i'm trying to install the flashplugin (nonfree) and while it's installing it says something about a md5 mismatch... i marked for complete removal and then reinstalled but the same issue came back | 01:44 |

| nickrud | !fixres > Draggin | 01:45 |

| efif | jrib, thanks, when do you think there'll be a fix?? | 01:45 |
| kama | that is the same reason I cam here as well | 01:46 |
| geekworx | efif: type sudo apt-get install flash | 01:46 |
| Draggin | nickrud - you mean the lines that say HorizSync and VertRefresh? | 01:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Nope, I selected desktop and alt last night and got desktop.. confirmed with md5 | 01:46 |
| madrazr | Hii all | 01:46 |
| nickrud | Draggin: yes | 01:46 |
| blindrat | are there still package mirrors for gutsy? | 01:46 |
| Draggin | nickrud - they are in there... That's why I find it somewhat strange | 01:46 |

| * Grammaticus reclines and listens to the chirping of the crickets. | 01:47 | |
| nickrud | Draggin: if you're sure they are the right ones, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log , it should tell you if X is overriding with values it reads from the monitor (edid) | 01:47 |
| jrib | TigranG: see 'man xbindkeys' for some examples with mouse keys | 01:47 |

| jrib | !clone > kama (read the private message from ubotu) | 01:51 |
| madrazr | nickrud: Oh ok thanks for that | 01:51 |

| nickrud | Draggin: lspci | grep -i vga , the first numbers | 01:51 |

| jrib | !ntfs > wsgued1 (read the private message from ubotu) | 01:55 |
| Pelo | mather, the default version of uubuntu is gnome based, and used the Gimp ToolKit (GTK) but this has nothing to do with KDE unless you installed a some kde app which you can | 01:55 |

| Pelo | IL0v3C0fF3E, you don'T need to use sudo with cd | 01:56 |

| ubotu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 01:56 |

| mather | well, my Appearance Settings window (gnome-appearance-properties) was freezing everytime i tried to change tabs... then I read that the removal of gtk-qt-engine fixed this problem, and it did... and i recently installed kde on top of gnome and was hoping that was the reason things broke.... so now its possible that other programs will not work? | 01:57 |

The monitor settings also change to a weird monitor. When I disable the restricted drivers, the monitor goes back to a generic 1280x1024 resolution. Any ideas what could be causing this? | 02:00 |
| Pelo | kama, yes we do | 02:01 |

| jrib | vecna: hardy support is in #ubuntu+1. If you need a usable system, I'd recommend reinstalling and sticking with gutsy until hardy is released | 02:01 |
| blindrat | is there a debootstrap in ubuntu? can someone help me with a script for gutsy /usr/lib/debootstrap/scripts/gutsy I am on debian and trying to make a gutsy chroot | 02:01 |
| kama | so... I am better off just doing it? Most of the stuff in the description is meaningless to me anyway | 02:01 |
| Pelo | Laurenceb, look in synaptic do a search and install if you find it | 02:01 |
| Tigerplug | How can I open up a range of ports in iptables? | 02:01 |
| kama | hmm | 02:01 |
| vecna | thanks jrib | 02:01 |
| nickrud | Draggin: what kind of video card do you have? | 02:01 |
| kama | when did hardy heron come out? | 02:01 |
| Pelo | kama, they are updates for stuff you have installed on your comp, might just be libs or other such packages taht are needed by apps, nothing you actualy realise you are using | 02:02 |
| nickrud | kama: not until april at the soonest | 02:02 |
| LinChapulin | Anyone running a Fujitsu Lifebook? | 02:02 |
| Pelo | Tigerplug, man iptables should tell you how | 02:02 |
| Draggin | nickrud - nVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4800SE, but I'm trying to use a generic vesa driver so that I can just at least get into X again to fix things | 02:02 |
| kama | do the rest of you upgrade as soon as the new OS comes out (Is is called a new os?) | 02:02 |
| Pelo | LinChapulin, better ask about your problem | 02:02 |
| Pirate-King | hello | 02:02 |
| Pelo | kama, I usualy wait a couple of weeks | 02:02 |

| Pirate-King | what is a good chat program? | 02:03 |
| freakazoid0223 | xchat | 02:03 |
| icesword | kama,do a sudo apt-get upgrade ,that brings many new feature | 02:03 |
| Pirate-King | like mirc | 02:03 |
| kama | would I be better off going with an older distro? | 02:03 |
| jrib | kama: for what purpose? | 02:03 |
| kama | !sudo | 02:03 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 02:03 |
| Draggin | nickrud - I'm busy following the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650161 | 02:03 |
| Pelo | Pirate-King, we like xchat, you can install it from the repos, but look in add/remove, several are available, you can pick the one you like best | 02:04 |
| nickrud | Draggin: but simply changing the Section Device driver to vesa should do the job | 02:04 |
| kama | where can i find that info about drivers? | 02:04 |
| the | does anyone know a good program to convert my dvds to divx | 02:04 |
| bltzfsck | been trying to make a lan with xp and vista work for a week. loaded the ubuntu live cd on the xp machine and EVERYTHING WORKS out of the box | 02:04 |
| bltzfsck | sheesh | 02:05 |
| LinChapulin | I followed the guide for Gutsy in the forums This lappie has a ATI Radeon HD 2600 video card installed..however setting the driver to fglrx just screws up the display, and I can't get it out of 800X600 | 02:05 |
| Pelo | kama, linux supports most hardware out of the box, ifyou have any specific hardwware you are having diffulcities with just tell us wath it is | 02:05 |

| nickrud | !customlivecd > icesword | 02:06 |
| Pelo | LinChapulin, look in the forum for ati resolutions, this is fixable , I just don'T know how | 02:06 |
| Draggin | nickrud - I actually don't think so - I thought I did, but there was no envy installed in the first place - I accidentally installed the nvidia-glx-new driver (where it should have been nvidia-glx for my card) and I think that caused a mismatch in the nvidia kernel and the driver... | 02:06 |
| LinChapulin | Ok thanks...I did try the other alternatives in the HOWTO for setting up the card per earlier versions... | 02:06 |
| Pelo | sp0ro, there is a fix for that , look for ati resolution in the forum | 02:06 |
| ubuntu__ | i need help installing gutsy on an external hard drive | 02:07 |
| Pelo | LinChapulin, I can't realy help with ati stuff sorry | 02:07 |
| LinChapulin | Pelo: Thanks | 02:07 |
| LinChapulin | Yes I know | 02:07 |
| nickrud | Draggin: no, that wouldn't do it since the nvidia-glx* from ubuntu are compiled against the ubuntu kernel ... You didn't custom compile a kernel did you? | 02:07 |
| ubuntu__ | can someone help me? | 02:07 |
| Laurenceb | bash: ./mfile.tcl: /usr/local/bin/tixwish: bad interpreter: No such file or directory | 02:07 |
| bltzfsck | havent used linux in a while, but i remember passing boot paramaters that gave me much smaller fonts in text mode | 02:07 |
| Laurenceb | its still cant find it :( | 02:07 |
| bltzfsck | is there a way to pass that paramater to a live ubuntu cd? | 02:07 |
| sp0ro | Pelo: that fix does not fix "low-graphics mode" though, already tried it. | 02:07 |
| bltzfsck | i think it was vidmode or summat | 02:08 |
| Draggin | nickrud - nope - no custom anythings... But I can't seem to get a normal bloody nvidia driver back... I removed glx-new and tried reinstalling glx only (which worked), but whenever x should start up, it gives me the error about the mismatch | 02:08 |
| Pelo | ubuntu__, boot the live cd, check in gparted to see what the /dev/sd** address of the external hdd is, then proceed with the install as usual but make sure you set the grub menu to isntal on the external hdd | 02:08 |
| kama | how easy is it to use wine? | 02:08 |
| Laurenceb | where will tuxwish be on my system? | 02:09 |
| nickrud | sp0ro: I don't believe the ubuntu fglrx supports that card, apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglrx lists the chipsets it does support | 02:09 |
| Pelo | sp0ro, are you sure there aren'T' other options available in the forum ? | 02:09 |
| jrib | kama: it's easy to use. Whether or not it will work for a given .exe is a different story | 02:09 |

| bltzfsck | can i put the boot stuff on a memory stick and make a free partition into the root partition? | 02:09 |
| kama | ty jr, i was reading about it | 02:09 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, more specifycaly ? | 02:09 |
| nickrud | Draggin: and simply adding vesa to the device doesn't work? try leaving it as vesa and commenting out your monitor refresh stuff | 02:10 |
| Pelo | bltzfsck, whut ? | 02:10 |
| mather | thanks for you help everyone, i am walking away a smarter man | 02:10 |
| sp0ro | nickrud: Yes the restricted drivers work, they were working perfectly before I had to reinstall ubuntu 7.10 on a new hdd | 02:10 |
| Draggin | nickrud - I'll give that a shot... Haven't tried that yet. Do you think I should leave the ModeLine in tact or comment that out as well? | 02:10 |
| zeemystteryman | i installed it onto a usb external harddrive and when i rebooted i chose the option to boot from the harddrive and it said that it cant find the linux kernal | 02:10 |
| Pelo | mather, beer will take care of that for you | 02:10 |
| sp0ro | Pelo: I'll check around | 02:10 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, you messed up your boot sector wit the new install | 02:11 |
| zeemystteryman | how do i properly intall it then? | 02:11 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, you have ubuntu installed on your hdd as well &? | 02:11 |
| zeemystteryman | no | 02:11 |
| nickrud | Draggin: comment it out. In fact, copy that xorg.conf to your desktop for safekeeping, and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg . Get a default xorg.conf to work with | 02:11 |
| bltzfsck | instead of rearranging my whole boot sector on this windows machine, can i just make a usb memory stick the boot device, and mount a free partition from my h/d? | 02:11 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, what do you have installed on the hdd ? | 02:11 |
| zeemystteryman | my hdd is corupt and isnt even recognized by the os | 02:11 |

| _jwd_ | is there something similiar to ESPN's bottom line for GNOME? Any recommendations? | 02:12 |
| mather | one more actually, how can i tell whether or not a program is included in a base install of say Gutsy? | 02:12 |
| mather | im sure theres a list or something | 02:12 |

| jrib | _jwd_: what does it do? | 02:12 |
| === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude | ||
| nickrud | Draggin: it doesn't ask any questions, if you leave it out it asks every question under the sun | 02:12 |
| Pelo | bltzfsck, you'll need to install grub on the usb stick , toward the end of theinstall questionnair, change the hd0,0 thing to what it would be for the usb stick | 02:12 |

| brand0con | thx | 02:13 |

| bltzfsck | a lot of the thumb drives go about 4 gigs | 02:13 |
| Pelo | nickrud, stanza ? , nice word for it | 02:13 |
| mather | i think it only requires like 1.3 gb? | 02:14 |
| bltzfsck | maybe i cd put /bin and /usr on the h/d | 02:14 |

| Pelo | zeemystteryman, ok try this , boot regularly from the same hdd that was set as boot when you instaled ubuntu on the external hdd, my guess is that grub pahse one is on the internal but set to look for menu.lst on the external | 02:15 |
| nickrud | Draggin: wireshark | 02:15 |
| bltzfsck | mather, you in texas? | 02:15 |
| mather | matkix: what kind of card do you have? have you tried an alternate network-manager like wicd? | 02:16 |
| Das3Zehn | uhm - just a small question *cough* could it be that bnep0 is pan0 in ubuntu? *cough* | 02:16 |
| _jwd_ | matkix you have to be more specific.. | 02:16 |

| mather | you better buy me dinner first perv | 02:16 |
| matkix | mather, I have a wireless card that IS supported by the network manager, but my lan card is not... | 02:16 |
| Dragon67 | nickrud: draggin is packet capture | 02:16 |
| nickrud | articpenguin3800: it's been done, but it's not a good idea. | 02:16 |
| zeemystteryman | Pelo>> i never had gutsy installed on the internal, infact, when i installed it on the external, the internal didnt even show up | 02:16 |
| matkix | mather, Where can I find another network manager? | 02:16 |
| nickrud | Dragon67: no, that's a person. wireshark is in ubuntu | 02:16 |

| zeemystteryman | Pelo>> i had XP installed on the internal | 02:17 |
| mattgyver83 | Is anyone familiar with setting up a bluetooth connection via usb adapter within ubuntu? | 02:17 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, not a qustion of having gusty installed on the internal, but the bootloader ( grub) default installs on the boot hdd as per the bios settings | 02:17 |
| mather | bltzfsck: do you want to run it off the thumb permanently? or just install it from the thumb? | 02:17 |
| Dragon67 | nickrud: ok i dont mean person ,i ask for program which can capture packet | 02:17 |
| matkix | _jwd_, Well its all one unit, its an intel lan / wan card on my ibm thinkpad. | 02:17 |

| mather | matkix: google it | 02:18 |
| mather | wicd | 02:18 |
| mather | i dont think its in the repos | 02:18 |

| bltzfsck | shoot, fellas, i havent been on irc in a couple of years | 02:20 |
| nickrud | Draggin: it shouldn't be trying to get composite running .... Look in xorg.conf for anything about composite , and delete that section. Make sure the Device driver is nv | 02:20 |
| Pirate-King | mplayer xine? | 02:20 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, it won'T be but check if you can boot from the internal with the external plugged in first, that way we will know if that is the problem I think it is | 02:20 |
| mather | bltzfsck: im confused with all the harddrive talk... you wanna run ubuntu from the thumb drive, so whats the harddrive got to do with it? or were you talking to someone else? | 02:20 |

| Pelo | zeemystteryman, I think I am a bit confused as to the nature of the problem | 02:21 |
| zeemystteryman | im running it on live currently | 02:21 |
| mather | bltzfsck: either way, running from the thumb drive full time is practical if you plan on tinkering around with ubuntu once a week, imho | 02:21 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, nemver mind then | 02:21 |
| Patogen | Anyone here using perlpanel? I need help on how to get back the original config ... I fucked up pretty much ;) | 02:21 |
| bltzfsck | IS practical, you say? | 02:21 |
| nickrud | Draggin: Try this: edit xorg.conf , and change the device driver to vesa. | 02:21 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, , check in gparted, figuere out the /dev/hd** of the external hdd | 02:21 |

| zeemystteryman | where is gparted located?> | 02:23 |
| nickrud | Draggin: that makes no sense, if the vesa driver is in use it wouldn't even try to do composite. Look in the xorg.conf , look for a line with Composite . Is it there? | 02:23 |

I'm using a linksys wireless card and netgear WRG54 for the net and the last two days on my road runner cable 16mbs connection I haven't been able to break 70k/s download speed, though my roommate who is sharing it and using vista has been getting excellent speeds when we test the connection on his machine. | 02:25 |

| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: hm, was going to suggest making sure it's 3ft away from any metal objects, but if it's right next to your box I don't think it would make a difference. What channel is the router using, what standard, and what type of key/encryption if any? | 02:28 |
| brand0con | sda and sdb are partitions on an internal secondary drive for me but somehow doesnt register in ubuntu as hdb | 02:28 |

| subcool | hey, quick question. | 02:28 |
| jrib | wsguede: did you use ntfs to create this? | 02:28 |
| wsguede | yep | 02:28 |
| shep_ | bawwwwwwwwww nothing on ubuntuforums from a quick glance | 02:28 |
| jrib | wsguede: argh, I mean "ntfs-config" | 02:28 |
| nickrud | brand0con: let me see your partitions, because sda and sdb are disks not partitions | 02:28 |
| Pelo | rredd4, just use the manual partitionning options, crate a partiton on the sdb hdd, after the screen that looks like the partiton editor,you'll get a screen that lets you specify what goes where put / on the sdb1 and /home on sdb2 and don'T forget to make a /swap | 02:28 |
| subcool | Ubuntu Partitions - whats normal? I am use to mandriva | 02:28 |
| brand0con | ok | 02:28 |
| rredd4 | brand0con they are now called sd... not hd... | 02:28 |

| kimsheera | へっぉ | 02:29 |
| Pelo | zeemystteryman, there is only one the icon on the destkiop, the important bit you need to remember to get this working problerly is that on the last dialog screen of the installer you need to chagne hd0,0 to hd1,0 | 02:29 |
| bascule | Draggin: gpm may allow that | 02:29 |
| zeemystteryman | ok | 02:29 |

| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: Guessing you made sure no other APs in your area are using channel 11 already since 6 is default. Are the antennas on both the AP and the NIC situated at a 90-degree vertical angle? | 02:30 |

| Draggin | Wow... The universe is conspiring against me... That sounds great, but I don't have a middle mouse button... hehe | 02:30 |
| Pelo | shoeunited, I din'T mean he was doing it voluntaraly but if you are testing while he,s using the internet some of it is used by him, if you get me | 02:30 |

| zeemystteryman | ok | 02:32 |
| jrib | wsguede: yes, but what partition? | 02:32 |
| zeemystteryman | thanks for the help | 02:32 |

| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: As for your transfer rate, have you tried situating the router anywhere else in the room? | 02:32 |
| nickrud | brand0con: try this one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51613/ | 02:32 |
| mckooter | anyone know of a cheap wireless card (ide) that has good support not using ndiswrapper | 02:33 |
| Pelo | mckooter, try asking in #hardware | 02:33 |
| shoeunited | sp0ro1, So this could be a situation of antennas at weird angles? Also, I forgot to mention that yesterday, I that the router had dropped me but ubuntu wouldn't drop the netgear connection even though it was @ 0% I even went and grabbed a wired connection and it wouldn't let go. I had to do a full restart to get it to dump. | 02:33 |
| mckooter | pelo: thanks | 02:33 |
| Pelo | mckooter, ask for a card with good linux support instead | 02:33 |
| subcool | a link works too | 02:33 |
| brand0con | nickrud: thx much. tried somethign similar to this at one point and couldnt get it right. hopefully this is the ticket | 02:33 |
| Draggin | kimsheera... That's running on an iPhone?? | 02:33 |
| kimsheera | yea | 02:34 |
| jrib | wsguede: sda5 the fifth partition on your first hard drive, you can't have it be both | 02:34 |
| nickrud | brand0con: I"ve got my fingers crossed. Not real familar with how mixed ide and sata work | 02:34 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: Hm, that could be an authentication problem. Do you have MAC address restrictions set on your network or something? | 02:34 |
| kimsheera | so is my chat client | 02:34 |
| shoeunited | sp0ro1, No, I hadn't since it was reporting 84% when it was right next to the comp. Since you mentioned metal interference, possibly that is creating noise and ruining my connection? | 02:34 |
| Draggin | kimsheera - wow :) That's really cool | 02:34 |
| jrib | wsguede: pastebi 'mount' | 02:34 |
| wsguede | jrib: correct sda5 is ntfs and sdb5 is swap | 02:34 |
| Arthur | How do I open tar.gz files through the ternimal? | 02:34 |
| kimsheera | unpack | 02:34 |
| jrib | Arthur: tar xf file.tar.gz | 02:35 |
| shoeunited | sp0ro1, Not that I'm aware, though I did see an area in the router setup specifying a specific mac address. | 02:35 |
| Arthur | Many thanks | 02:35 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: If you're getting 84%, most likely not, but it could cause collisions and/or make your CSMA collision avoidance system queue your computer up and make you have longer wait times to process things. | 02:35 |
| Draggin | nickrud... I don't know anymore... | 02:35 |
| ibrahim | while installing ubuntu this message occured " create symlink /dev/root/ " i didnot understand what should i do pls help me | 02:35 |
| brand0con | nickrud: are you noting my drives to be sata because of their sda sdb notation or something else | 02:35 |
| Draggin | nickrud - do you have any last suggestions before I go mad? :) | 02:35 |

| nickrud | brand0con: that's the assumption, yes | 02:36 |
| Draggin | nickrud - no problem - thanks a lot for your patience though | 02:36 |
| brand0con | ok | 02:36 |
| brand0con | thx | 02:36 |
| kimsheera | I am plauged with the orange square of bug | 02:36 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: But to be completely honest, I don't think any of that would slow down your transfer speed. It might just be a compatibility issue between the router and the NIC. I've seen it happen before between different vendor wireless products. | 02:37 |
| ian__ | i'm having an issue with autodir w/autofs4 in gutsy. i think i might need a newer kernel. is there an easy way to try out a pre-built newer kernel? | 02:37 |
| Pelo | alexbOrsova, try looking for hte speakers in menu > system > admin > hardware info ( might be in prefs) | 02:37 |
| ibrahim | Pelo: thx alot | 02:37 |
| alexbOrsova | is there anyway to track what devices under /dev/ a program uses? | 02:37 |
| majikins | hi-has anyone followed this guide? http://www.howtoforge.com/openldap-samba-domain-controller-ubuntu7.10-p1 | 02:37 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: thanks | 02:37 |
| jrib | wsguede: ok, notice your fstab *is* trying to use sda5 as swap, change line 8 to use your sdb5 instead | 02:37 |
| wsguede | jrib: you lost me | 02:38 |
| * Pelo makes no promises , unless there is something in it for him | 02:38 | |
| shoeunited | sp0ro1, the thing is (ironically) that ubuntu had more or less been happy with this connection for the last two weeks. :/ | 02:38 |
| wsguede | <-- noob jrib | 02:38 |
| jrib | wsguede: oh wait, that's funky. Your UUID for sda5 and sdb5 are the same | 02:38 |
| majikins | I've followed it dilligently but getting 'path not found' when trying to add xp box to domain | 02:38 |
| * nickrud is tired of Pelo's extraneous comments scrolling the window ;p | 02:38 | |
| wsguede | jrib: i am going to imagin that is not a good thing | 02:38 |
| shoeunited | sp0ro1, In the last 48 hours it seems to have started difficulties. I considered network things, but I haven't installed anything besides sdlmame in the last 2 days. | 02:38 |
| * Pelo hides the handfull of breadcrums jrib left for wsguede behind his back | 02:38 | |
| wsguede | thanks pelo... i dont like bread crumbs | 02:39 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: Yeah, but CSMA|CA doesn't knock you off your connection, it just pauses whatever you're doing until whatever other device(or interfering object) is finished doing what it's doing, then resumes. | 02:39 |
| shoeunited | hmm | 02:39 |
| releod | Can anyone offer a website that shows/explains how to run ubuntu headless (x11) | 02:39 |
| Pelo | releod, just install the server version | 02:40 |
| jrib | is it possible for blkid to provide stale UUIDs. If so, how can make sure the information is accurate? wsguede has two different partitions that blkid claims have the same UUID | 02:40 |
| alexbOrsova | does anyone know how to tell what device the "beep" command is using (under /dev/)? | 02:40 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: Which could essentially could make your download speeds *LOOK* slower, when infact they are actually just stalled. If it is an interfering object though, it would clog your network and you wouldn't even be able to do anything. So I'm not sure if that is the problem at all. | 02:40 |
| Pelo | alexbOrsova, it is using the soundcard | 02:40 |
| releod | Pelo: is it easy to swap to the server version from the desktop version? | 02:40 |
| nickrud | jrib: I had that situation, I wrote new ones with tune2fs -U . They don't show in blkid until reboot | 02:41 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: no, it's not | 02:41 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: it's using the built0in speaker on my computer | 02:41 |
| nickrud | jrib: it was due to a dd , that carried over the UUID to the new partition | 02:41 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: and I can't find the device for it | 02:41 |
| jrib | wsguede: for now, just edit line 8 to say "/dev/sdb5" instead of the "UUID=fecc186c-d322-4e7b-ae1b-f953af309805" | 02:41 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: Have you tried checking your network for IPs or dual MAC addresses? You could possibly have a leecher if your system is open. | 02:41 |
| Pelo | releod, I guess you could just remove the ubuntu-desktop files | 02:41 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: unless the built-in speaker is controlled by the soundcard? I don't think it is. | 02:41 |
| Pelo | releod, taht would get you just the minimal part fo ubuntu , hold on | 02:41 |
| shoeunited | I've been checking for leechers. lol ^_^ | 02:42 |
| jrib | nickrud: thanks | 02:42 |
| Pelo | alexbOrsova, check in menu > system > prefs > sounds, second tab I Think see what device is used for system sound or system events or smeothing | 02:42 |
| theshadow | I just installed a new laptop with 7.10 didn't have internet till after the install. Now when I try to install something it tells me to refresh the package list which I tell it to then when I try to install something it does the same thing | 02:42 |
| Pelo | releod, hold on I think I have what you need here , gime a sec | 02:42 |
| shoeunited | sp0ro1, I will try checking my MAC addy's and try moving the router though. As well as checking the antennae. I will give those a shot first before I ask for more help stabbing in the dark. lol ^_^ ty :) | 02:42 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: i did, and I can't open any of the devices under there except the one used for normal speaker output | 02:43 |
| releod | Pelo: ok | 02:43 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: Np, just work with the stuff you can try to change without completely altering the network first...although moving the router is essentially doing that I suppose. ;P | 02:43 |
| wsguede | jrib: what do u mean just edit it | 02:44 |
| Pelo | releod, just the remove ubuntu line , no need to install, kde , that should get you down to just the command line version of ubuntu ei headless as you call it http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 02:44 |
| Alpha | hum | 02:44 |
| wsguede | jrib how do i do that? | 02:44 |
| sp0ro1 | I would try to setup WPA on your AP though if you can. | 02:44 |

| alexbOrsova | Pelo: I can't seem to find the device file for my computer's built-in speaker under /dev/ | 02:46 |
| sp0ro1 | shoeunited: if none of that works, start looking into your NIC configurations and/or what you have changed since you have been getting slower speeds. | 02:46 |
| alexbOrsova | Pelo: even though I know it must be there, the beep command uses it | 02:46 |

| amigamiga | the server version? | 02:46 |

| alexbOrsova | Pelo: background info: I'm trying to open it from a c++ program but I need to know the filename of the device | 02:47 |
| Pelo | alexbOrsova, the question is , why do you need to find this file ? | 02:47 |

| LjL | iRRVi: not the right channel, we don't give legal advice... but as far as i know, you can do it | 02:48 |

| Geoffrey2 | any advice for when ubuntu suddenly decides you no longer have a printer connected? | 02:49 |
| Pelo | majikins, since no one here is gonna go and read the tutorial just tell us what part you don'T understand | 02:49 |
| wsguede | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51617/ | 02:50 |
| iRRVi | Pelo and/or LjL: does that include selling copies of disks with the computers (as long as i dont charge extra for the cd's?) | 02:50 |

| cal_mac | good evening folks.. i am trying to install an i386 program on my amd64 version of ubuntu.. is that possible? i have read on forums that it is, and people have gotten this specific program working successfully, but i can't seem to find any sort of directions on how to go about installing it | 02:50 |
| iRRVi | or where should i ask? | 02:50 |
| Pelo | Geoffrey2, reconnect and turn on the printer ? or just delete the printer in cups and install it again | 02:50 |
| ablyss | Geoffrey2: if its usb replug in the usb | 02:50 |
| merde | I installed ubuntu. I installed the drivers from the nvidia page. It loaded after installing, but after rebooting it didn't work. So I installed the drivers using apt and that didn't work. but after that when I hit ctrl+alt+f1 it doesn't show anything | 02:50 |
| nickrud | Geoffrey2: sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart works for me most of the time | 02:50 |
| oriez | how can i see my ip address on the terminal | 02:50 |
| majikins | well there were no errors in the install - all was right | 02:50 |
| jrib | wsguede: read the error and choose an option | 02:50 |
| majikins | but I just can't add the pc to the domain | 02:50 |
| Geoffrey2 | Pelo, I deleted it and tried to redetect, ubuntu just doesn't see it..... | 02:51 |
| LjL | iRRVi: you do need to redistribute the source too, i'm afraid. perhaps it's best to get in contact with canonical's legal dep | 02:51 |
| Aeleon | is there a search command i can excecute from the command line? i forgot where i put a file. | 02:51 |
| Pelo | iRRVi, ubuntu is free of charge you are not allowed to sell it , you can give away as many copies as you like , with or without a computer | 02:51 |
| majikins | is there a log file I can look at to see what could be going wrong? | 02:51 |

| Pelo | Geoffrey2, is it turned on ? | 02:51 |
| iRRVi | Pelo: k thnx | 02:51 |
| preaction | Aeleon, man find. locate may or may not be on your system, and requires a stupid db | 02:51 |
| nickrud | Pelo: actually he can sell it for as much as he likes (but I'll stop here, off-topic) | 02:51 |
| Darkmystere | Anybody got links to a Tutorial for Mac4Lin? | 02:51 |
| Pelo | Aeleon, locate filename | 02:51 |
| darkkith | has anyone tried connecting an iphone or ipod touch to itunes via vmware? | 02:51 |
| ablyss | Geoffrey2: if using kde, but your default installation was gnome, letting gnome handle the printers seems to be helpful | 02:51 |
| wsguede | jrib: beautiful | 02:51 |
| iRRVi | and LjL: so i should also distrobute a cd with the source on it? | 02:51 |
| LjL | Pelo, sure you aren't allowed to sell it? | 02:51 |
| Aeleon | thanks, jrib, preaction, and Pelo. | 02:51 |

| darkkith | oriez ifconfig | 02:52 |

| g4lv4tr0n | hi what filesystem do i need to format my drive as so its writable when mounted as nfs | 02:52 |
| * nickrud thinks Pelo needs to read up on the gpl and related licenses | 02:52 | |
| LjL | iRRVi, according to the GPL, yes, or (possibly, not sure it's valid in all cases) you can make a written offer to provide the source for free if asked. however, not all of Ubuntu is under the GPL | 02:52 |
| jrib | oriez: for your external ip, wget -q -O - http://whatismyip.org | 02:52 |

| Pelo | nickrud, probably | 02:52 |
| Darkmystere | >.> | 02:52 |
| wsguede | jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51619/ but in the end it worked so yeah... do i have to do this every time now? | 02:52 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, unplugged and re-plugged both ends, shut off printer and turned back on.....trying to detect printer again | 02:52 |
| * Pelo needs to get out fo this channel and go to bed | 02:52 | |
| Pelo | g'Night folks | 02:53 |
| LjL | nickrud, Pelo: maybe, and maybe not. ubuntu is a collection of gpl and non gpl code | 02:53 |
| ablyss | Geoffrey2: don't forget to restart cups | 02:53 |
| g4lv4tr0n | im using nfs not samba | 02:53 |
| nickrud | gginght Pelo | 02:53 |
| g4lv4tr0n | ntfs is samba | 02:53 |
| sam__ | i think i like the itunes interface better than amarok for many reasons but itunes runs crappy on ubuntu is there any open source music players with an interface similar to itunes? | 02:53 |
| g4lv4tr0n | im guesst fat32 or ext3 | 02:53 |
| jrib | wsguede: you have to look into what the error is about and see what the ramifications of using "force" are. If you add "force" to your fstab options it should automatically mount when you boot | 02:53 |
| Geoffrey2 | ablyss: ok, and how do I do that? | 02:53 |
| LjL | g4lv4tr0n: nfs and ntfs are two completely different things. samba is something akin to nfs (but different) | 02:53 |
| majikins | ok I remember that logs are in var/log/samba | 02:53 |
| nickrud | LjL: true, aggregated software can be complex | 02:53 |
| Darkmystere | Tell majikins x | 02:53 |
| cal_mac | can anyone tell me how to install an i386 program on an amd64 build of ubuntu? | 02:54 |

| specialbuddy | how do I get the kde4 effects to work | 02:54 |
| LjL | all in all iRRVi, the message is, get real legal advice, don't ask a bunch of non lawyers on IRC. | 02:54 |
| Darkmystere | Well anyone guides on using Mac4Lin on ubuntu 7.10... | 02:54 |
| g4lv4tr0n | yeah i know i want to mount a drive using nfs but not sure what to format my drive as and im guessing i dont want to use ntfs as thats a windows fs | 02:54 |

| Kalamansi | hello i am using ubuntu 7.10 desktop. do i need to download dhcp,ipmasq and iptables and install it? or it is already installed? | 02:57 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: sometimes you can edit a few lines of source code and compile for 64bit | 02:57 |
| jpiccolo | jrib: sometimes no matter what i copy, whenever i paste it is like this: ŸŸ | 02:57 |

| Geoffrey2 | restarted cupsys, still not detecting the printer..... | 02:58 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: haven't heard of that program | 02:58 |
| Impiety | I installed ubuntu. I installed the drivers from the nvidia page. It loaded after installing, but after rebooting it didn't work. So I installed the drivers using apt and that didn't work. but after that when I hit ctrl+alt+f1 it doesn't show anything. I booted using the restore option(single user mode) and it shows stuff in tty1, but not when i boot normally. It just shows the usplash and loads X. | 02:58 |
| cal_mac | ablyss: its a free python interpreter/editor | 02:58 |
| ablyss | Geoffrey2: maybe reboot. | 02:58 |
| specialbuddy | just noticed that everytime I try to open a link or copy a link in here, xchat shuts down | 02:59 |
| jrib | Impiety: there is a bug on launchpad about it | 02:59 |
| wsguede | jrib: ok as i am looking at the fstab, it says that my ubuntu is on the first drive... but its not... ie /dev/sda1 type ext3 should be sdb1 could this be why my computer looks like it has a billion errors when it boots up? | 02:59 |
| Darkmystere | Well.....HELLO!!!....... | 02:59 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: i use 32bit libs and runs fine. in fact you can run 32bit and 64 bit firefox together to test the speed | 02:59 |
| alexbOrsova | does anyone know where you can find the source code of the "beep" command? | 02:59 |
| Impiety | jrib: launchpad? | 02:59 |
| cal_mac | ablyss: i am reading that there is more than one way of getting 32bit libs.. | 02:59 |
| nickrud | javatexan: hm, I'm not finding the pages I expected | 02:59 |
| jrib | Impiety: bugs.ubuntu.com | 03:00 |

| Geoffrey2 | just to doublecheck, I'd add the printer by going under Administration > Printing ? | 03:00 |
| jpiccolo | anyone know what my problem could be? | 03:00 |
| specialbuddy | is anyone else having a problem with kde4 and clicking on links on xchat | 03:00 |
| specialbuddy | ? | 03:00 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: probably easiest to use synaptic.. but silly me forgot what the package names are | 03:00 |
| jrib | wsguede: well it is using the UUID for sdb1, so it is ok. The # part is just a comment. At one point it probably was sda1 and got moved | 03:00 |
| Bascote | Hi everyone, is there a queue to get help here? | 03:00 |
| jrib | Bascote: nope, just ask | 03:00 |
| cal_mac | ablyss: alright i'll have a look. thank you | 03:00 |
| Bascote | Alrighty thanks | 03:01 |
| Bascote | What I am trying to do is create a startup script that runs before X and my nvidia drivers load | 03:01 |
| jpiccolo | anyone know why my copy paste is messed up, i dont want to restart | 03:01 |
| Bascote | I have an idea of how to do this but I do not think im completely there.. | 03:01 |
| wsguede | jrib: this is true, after installing ubuntu on the 80gb drive, i connected the 250 to the computer, but now my computer thinks that its the primary, and that the 80gb is the slave... i cant change it in my bios either... | 03:02 |
| Moult | is it possible to either find out or get rid of or change the windows administrator password using ubuntu as a live cd? | 03:02 |
| ablyss | jpiccolo: have you tried logging off? | 03:02 |
| jrib | Bascote: why? | 03:02 |
| nickrud | javatexan: the best info I have for you is that alsa 1.0.15 is going to be in hardy, you can ask about it in #ubuntu+1 | 03:02 |
| jrib | wsguede: it's fine now | 03:02 |
| wsguede | i hope | 03:02 |
| jpiccolo | ablyss: i dont want to do that either, i have vm's open and everything | 03:02 |
| keith | not sure if this is the right channel, since my issue is with the latest alpha for 8.04, but I'm a little confused about the X11 configuration. I am trying to install the accelerated ATI drivers, but when I go to dit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, the Monitor, Device, and Screen sections of the file are all empty... how is the xserver running with an empty xorg.conf file? | 03:02 |
| Bascote | Its to unlock some pixel pipings and overclock my card | 03:02 |
| tommyjr | heyy all | 03:02 |
| wsguede | jrib: i am going to do a quick restart, and see if it re mounts it | 03:02 |
| wsguede | BRB! | 03:02 |
| ablyss | jpiccolo: the vm is no doubt causing the issue though | 03:02 |
| QaDeS | can one of you ping www.officeconvert.com and tell me if it's exceptionally slow? | 03:03 |
| jrib | keith: #ubuntu+1 for help with hardy | 03:03 |
| keith | jrib, thanks... i figured this probably wasnt the right channel | 03:03 |
| Bascote | The way I was planning to do it (please correct me if this process is completely wrong) is this: | 03:03 |
| Bascote | Open the text editor and type in.. | 03:03 |
| Bascote | nvclock -n 380 | 03:03 |
| Bascote | nvclock -m 770 | 03:03 |
| Bascote | nvclock -v 111111 | 03:03 |
| jpiccolo | ablyss: i must have been when i tried to pasted in the vm | 03:03 |
| Bascote | Sorry I thought that would be one post | 03:03 |
| ablyss | jpiccolo: i had that problem when I used vm in tty10 | 03:03 |
| QaDeS | hiyas btw :o) | 03:03 |
| nickrud | keith: you should ask about hardy on #ubuntu+1 , but I can tell you that the new version of X creates nearly all of it's config dynamically now | 03:04 |
| ablyss | jpiccolo: if you keep the vm in the current tty and or upgrade you should be fine | 03:04 |
| jpiccolo | i guess i will restart, i didnt want to have to bring xp, and photoshop back up | 03:04 |
| ablyss | jpiccolo: is it an older version of vmware? | 03:04 |
| jpiccolo | ablyss: vbox | 03:04 |
| tommyjr | i got a quick question to anyone who cares.. ive used fedoracore for a while on my desktops but have had issues with my laptop. i have a toshiba satellite. think id be alright with ubuntu on it? | 03:04 |
| jrib | tommyjr: try the live cd | 03:04 |
| ablyss | oh i haven't used vbox is it good? | 03:05 |
| tommyjr | im kinda concerned on wirelss | 03:05 |
| tommyjr | i just read an artical which points to a place that has a good fix for it | 03:05 |
| Bascote | Also I stopped a game installation prematurely and deleted it but im still showing the game icon under games, any way to remove this? | 03:05 |
| tommyjr | but i know in my experiance with laptops are tricky with certin builds of linux.. | 03:06 |
| === Administrator__ is now known as icesword | ||
| Bascote | Anyone available to help me with a couple beginner issues/ | 03:06 |
| |ns|nR8 | ask your question here Bascote | 03:07 |
| Bascote | Ok | 03:07 |
| Bascote | My first question is how do I create a startup script to run before X and my nvidia drivers load? | 03:07 |
| d31 | scripts go in /etc/init.d and have a specific runlevel | 03:08 |
| Bascote | *working* | 03:08 |
| jonathan | If that was a beginner question, I'm in REAL trouble. | 03:08 |
| nickrud | rflol jonathan | 03:09 |
| Bascote | Once I am there what do I do and what do you mean by specific runlevel/ | 03:09 |
| d31 | Bascote, google: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=startup+scripts+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a | 03:09 |
| tommyjr | is the regular 7.10 .iso also a live cd? | 03:09 |
| Bascote | My impression to creating a startup script is to just open gedit and type in what I want such as "nvclock -m 770" to set the memory clock speed | 03:09 |
| nickrud | Bascote: use /etc/init.d/screen as a template (assuming it's a real simple startup) and then do sudo update-rc.d <yourscriptname> defaults | 03:09 |
| crimsun | keep in mind that Debian and Ubuntu don't play runlevel games. In this case, you need to make sure the script is run before your display manager. | 03:10 |
| cal_mac | ablyss: i'm totally at a loss as to which package it might be.. is it in libraries (old)? | 03:10 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: let me see what I can find... give me a few | 03:10 |
| cal_mac | ablyss: sure thing | 03:10 |
| Bascote | yes this is ubuntu | 03:10 |
| nickrud | ah, defaults are too late | 03:10 |
| Bascote | and also, those google searches, I dont think they include running the scripts before X and certain drivers load? | 03:11 |
| crtjstr | ok, i'm trying to find the setting for turning the menu background transparent. Does anyone know where it is? | 03:11 |
| kimsheera | ubuntee | 03:11 |
| kimsheera | no | 03:11 |
| d31 | Bascote, that's what the runlevels are | 03:11 |
| d31 | 1-6 iirc | 03:11 |
| iRRVi | could/should i email the people at ubuntu to know if i can distrobute the cds and/or install it on the computers that i sell as long as i dont charge them for ubuntu...or who might i contact concerning this? | 03:11 |
| Bascote | I know if you right click a bar and click properties, under the background tab you can set to transparent. | 03:11 |
| iRRVi | *distribute | 03:12 |
| Bascote | Thank you lemme catch up on reading and try. | 03:12 |
| nickrud | crimsun: do you know who iRRVi should contact about info for redistribution? | 03:12 |
| crtjstr | Bascote: that is only the panel, not the menu itself | 03:12 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: sudo apt-get install ia32-libs also have a look at http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/ia32-libs | 03:13 |
| Bascote | So according to the template all I need is !/bin/sh and under that the nvclock commands? | 03:13 |
| iRRVi | Bascote: you mean #!/bin/sh | 03:14 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: that should get you rolling.. the link was just for reference | 03:14 |
| Bascote | yes sorry | 03:14 |
| nickrud | Bascote: pretty much, in the start stanza | 03:14 |
| Bascote | Ok lemme try that out first see if itll set fan speed at least. | 03:14 |
| Bascote | Thanks guys. | 03:14 |
| tsukasa | hey guys, i thought you could launch somethign specifying a screen with like, say, :0 gedit | 03:15 |
| tsukasa | but its not working for me | 03:15 |
| ablyss | cal_mac: you can also search synaptic with "ia32" for all available programs and utilities or shell command sudo apt-cache search ia32 | 03:15 |
| alexbOrsova | the device for my built-in pc speaker is in the wrong place under /dev/ and it doesn't work when I try to open it manually. However, the "beep" command uses it correctly. What's going on? | 03:16 |
| crimsun | iRRVi: you may distribute images with and/or install Ubuntu on your hardware. You may even charge a nominal fee. See also http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy if you plan to use "Ubuntu" somewhere. | 03:16 |
| nickrud | tsukasa: that would be DISPLAY=":0" gedit, but that doesn't control which desktop it goes on | 03:16 |
| iRRVi | crimsun: thanks i'll check it out | 03:17 |

| wsguede | bltzfsck: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610 | 04:07 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: are there some external hard drives that arent able to do this fo some reason? | 04:07 |
| GuCci^GirL | y cant join kuching channel? | 04:07 |
| wsguede | bltzfsck: i am sure you can upgrade to 7.10 | 04:07 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: Applications-> accessories-> Terminal | 04:07 |
| RazorFish | installed ubuntuce and want to blow it away to install just ubuntu - do i need to completely reinstall? | 04:08 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech ok hold on a second please | 04:08 |
| Othello | nickrud: Thank you, very much. | 04:08 |
| wsguede | GuCci^GirL: no one is in it? | 04:08 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: not that I'm aware of, if the bios is getting to the point of booting from the external, grub should find the linux partition. That's why I want to see your menu.lst | 04:08 |
| momewrath | anybody able to help with a wacom intuos3? | 04:08 |
| iN00DLE | GuCci^GirL, maybe you are on the wrong server? | 04:08 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: that can't be blank :) | 04:08 |
| zeemysteryman | yeah | 04:08 |
| zeemysteryman | that one did show up blank though | 04:08 |
| GuCci^GirL | I used to chat irc in windows...its totally different | 04:08 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: I missed your blank comment until now, be sure to use my nick. | 04:09 |
| GuCci^GirL | hmm i wonder y | 04:09 |
| === athe_ is now known as athe | ||
| zeemysteryman | how | 04:09 |
| zeemysteryman | ? | 04:09 |
| wsguede | GuCci^GirL: are u logged in through pidgin? | 04:09 |
| iN00DLE | the only difference in IRC will be server rules and your client's look/settings, GuCci^GirL | 04:09 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: just type nic<tab> at the start of each line, it makes it red here | 04:09 |
| GuCci^GirL | yeah | 04:09 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: I do zeem<tab> for yours | 04:09 |
| wsguede | GuCci^GirL: read what nickrud said above you | 04:09 |
| zeemysteryman | nic<tab> like this? | 04:10 |
| bltzfsck | i read the stuff on pendrive linux, but why do you put the boot partition on a windows filesystem? | 04:10 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: hit the tab key :) | 04:10 |
| zeemysteryman | hehheh | 04:10 |
| zeemysteryman | i knew that | 04:10 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: like this? | 04:10 |
| wsguede | GuCci^GirL: also, did u login to the right sever? | 04:10 |
| === monkey__ is now known as monTree | ||
| iN00DLE | I mentioned that wsguede >.> | 04:10 |
| GuCci^GirL | well its my hometown channel | 04:10 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: excellent. Now, type ls /mnt/boot/grub/ , do you see menu.lst | 04:10 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech it says intel corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset graphics controller (rev 03) | 04:10 |
| GuCci^GirL | mayber diffren server then cant log in | 04:10 |
| wsguede | GuCci^GirL: are you sure u changed it? | 04:11 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: yes | 04:11 |
| GuCci^GirL | normally i using dalnet irc | 04:11 |
| wsguede | GuCci^GirL: it defaults it as irc.ubuntu.com | 04:11 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160:yeah you aren't going to be running desktop on PIII era integrated graphics | 04:11 |
| evil_tech | though someone correct me if i am wrong | 04:11 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: ok, now do cat /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst , is it empty? | 04:11 |
| matthew_ | how do I find out my IP address, not the one for my local network but for the "outside internet"? | 04:11 |
| iN00DLE | are you using XChat or Pidgin, GuCci^GirL ? | 04:11 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech whats your suggestion? | 04:11 |
| wsguede | matthew_: google myip | 04:11 |
| GuCci^GirL | Xchat | 04:12 |
| IdleOne | matthew_: 74.181.147.15 | 04:12 |
| wsguede | matthew_: ie myip.com | 04:12 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: no | 04:12 |
| wsguede | haha | 04:12 |
| zetheroo | does anyone know of a thinkpad irc ? | 04:12 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160:suggestion for what? getting desktop effects working? | 04:12 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech yes | 04:12 |
| iN00DLE | use the server list to find dalnet and log in there GuCci^GirL | 04:12 |
| zetheroo | or IBM irc? | 04:12 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: so that means you mistyped something gedit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:12 |
| MrObvious | Hi guys. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to run Ubuntu 64 bit or not. How well is it supported? | 04:12 |
| GuCci^GirL | am lost....just use ubuntu few day...still unfamiliar | 04:12 |
| matthew_ | IdleOne, wsguede: is there a command line way of doing this? is this always my IP or just for right now? | 04:12 |
| bullgard4 | date prints a time value that differs from my radio-controlled clock by 21 s. (In earlier times I never noticed such a high value. May be it is due to longer uptimes.) When setting the system date using the date command, when will be this setting overridden automatically by another setting? | 04:12 |
| releod | HOW Do I remove KDE entirely from my system?? | 04:12 |
| adub | im having a hard time playing wmv files | 04:13 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: only way that is going to happen is if your computer has an AGP slot and you nave a video card to put in it | 04:13 |
| nickrud | MrObvious: I'm using 64 right now, but I see no reason to keep doing so. Firefox was a bit of a pain, and it runs no faster | 04:13 |
| MrObvious | releod: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop I think should do it. | 04:13 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: ok it opened | 04:13 |
| wsguede | matthew_: it should always be your ip, unless ur isp changes it | 04:13 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: ok, put it up on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 04:13 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: ditch ntpdate and use ntpd instead: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/NTP.html | 04:13 |
| MrObvious | nickrud: Yeah I run FAH and I can get more points if I run 64 bit (this is a dual core laptop). | 04:13 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech what does an AGP slot look like? | 04:13 |
| MrObvious | nickrud: Is it really that hard to set up? | 04:13 |
| releod | MrObvious: still has the KDE loading on boot and shutdown :S | 04:13 |
| IdleOne | matthew_: depends if you isp provides you with a static ip. I used /dns matthew_ to get your ip. only works for people who arent using server hosts | 04:13 |
| nickrud | MrObvious: not really | 04:13 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51626/ | 04:14 |
| zetheroo | I get this error when booting my desktop : Command executed............. a:\SCRUB3.EXE /D=ALL /L=2 | 04:14 |
| zetheroo | anyone? | 04:14 |
| MrObvious | Eagle2160: Just do a Google Image Search for AGP slot. | 04:14 |
| matthew_ | IdleOne, wsguede: can i do "ssh user@ip" to ssh into this computer over the internet? i do it over the local IP address but have never tried over the "outside" ip address. i would like to ssh into my computer from work. | 04:14 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: closest slot to the CPU set back a little from the white PCI slots and is usually brown in color though not always | 04:14 |
| evil_tech | or google it | 04:14 |
| rubeez | hi...i am running gutsy amd64...i tried to run dpkg-reconfigure locales but it did not display the dialog box as usual..any idea on how i may troubleshoot this prob? thanks | 04:14 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: umm now its says the root is hd0 when i clearly had it install on hd | 04:14 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: hd1 | 04:14 |
| MrObvious | Can I just download a 64 bit kernel or something like that or do I have to totally reinstall? | 04:14 |
| Flannel | releod: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 04:14 |
| wsguede | matthew_: never tried it myself | 04:14 |
| Eagle2160 | mrobvious thankyou | 04:15 |
| MrObvious | Eagle2160: Yw. | 04:15 |
| wsguede | Eagle2160: haha sounds funny | 04:15 |

| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: no, that's correct. Thats the second drive. One more thing, do blkid in a terminal and paste that | 04:15 |
| IdleOne | GuCci^GirL: /server irc.dal.net should get you to Dalnet | 04:15 |
| iN00DLE | under network list it is listed as DAL net, GuCci^GirL | 04:15 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: what type of proc (i know its a PIII but what speed) amount of ram etc | 04:16 |
| MrObvious | nickrud: Is it possible to download something off of synaptic/apt-get to get 64 bit or do I need to reinstall? | 04:16 |
| wsguede | IdleOne: do u know anything about connecting a windows computer to an ubuntu computer via lan | 04:16 |
| nickrud | MrObvious: reinstall. | 04:16 |
| MrObvious | !iso | 04:16 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 04:16 |
| IdleOne | !samba | wsguede | 04:16 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech mmmm i wish i knew im not that technical with computers so i dont really know sorry =/ | 04:16 |

| releod | I installed it instead of KUBUNTU I think oops.. heh | 04:17 |
| IdleOne | good night folks | 04:17 |
| sp0ro | Heh, just started recompiling my kernel only to find out there is a new patch. :x | 04:17 |
| wsguede | !xubuntu | releod | 04:17 |

| Tigerplug | any good opensource torrent sites? | 04:18 |
| kop | i installed ubuntu 7.10 from alternate cd now....it didnt asked me for a user and password when i completed the installation it asks the username and password what to do...> | 04:18 |
| wsguede | Tigerplug: by opensoursce u mean? | 04:18 |
| elkbuntu | GuCci^GirL, can i message you? | 04:18 |
| wsguede | kop: it should have asked you about a user and pass right after making the partitions | 04:18 |
| Tigerplug | opensource software trackers - just want to test out a torrentflux ubuntu box that I'll be using for iso's | 04:18 |
| kop | no it didnt | 04:18 |
| kop | what to do now should i reinstall | 04:19 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: Thank you for your advise. I need some time to read the articel you suggested in order to comprehend the usefulness of your suggestion. | 04:19 |
| GuCci^GirL | yeah sure | 04:19 |
| wsguede | kop: maybe... | 04:19 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: article | 04:19 |
| evil_tech | can i not have two network cards operatinal at the same time? | 04:19 |
| wsguede | kop i am going to bet that it did ask you and you put something you normally put at work or school... try that | 04:19 |
| iN00DLE | you can evil_tech | 04:20 |
| Eagle2160 | evil-tech umm its not syaing anythign | 04:20 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: did you get the link? | 04:20 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: what did you type | 04:21 |
| osxdude|vm | No! | 04:21 |
| GuCci^GirL | well thanks i will try to learn more abt it | 04:21 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: ok, from everything I see, that should boot. hd1,0 is sdb1 and the uuid is right. You might try getting the supergrub disk, and see what it says about booting the partition | 04:21 |
| Flannel | bullgard4: ntpdate is a one time thing, it gets the time, and sets it. You run it with a cron job or whatnot (I think ti runs each boot by default). ntpd is a gradual thing, it knows what time your system is, what time it should be, and guradually speeds up/slows down (which is nicer for log files, no big jumps) and then once you're there, continually tunes your time to keep itin synch | 04:21 |
| wsguede | kop did it work? | 04:21 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech sudo lshw > myhardware.txt | 04:21 |
| zeemysteryman | ok | 04:21 |
| osxdude|vm | Someone help me, there is a messed up proxy thingy here. It can't connect to localhost:4001 and I don't know what I installed. | 04:22 |
| nickrud | zeemysteryman: but I am not a grub expert by any means, keep those links and be prepared to show them to someone who knows more | 04:22 |
| MrObvious | Can someone tell me a program that burns bootable ISOs in Linux? | 04:22 |
| zeemysteryman | ok | 04:22 |
| MrObvious | I think K3B can but I forget. | 04:22 |
| Flannel | MrObvious: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto | 04:22 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: did it ask for your password? go check your home directory for the text file | 04:22 |
| MrObvious | Flannel: Perfect. Thanks. | 04:22 |
| nickrud | MrObvious: right click the iso, and select write to disk | 04:22 |
| bullgard4 | Flannel: I will keep that in mind. -- Thank you. | 04:22 |

| worthawholebean | How can I make something link only to my custom glib, not the system one? | 04:23 |
| zeemysteryman | nickrud: you were a great help! i learned alot more about linux | 04:23 |
| GuCci^GirL | register nick? | 04:23 |
| adub | i can not scale a video with mplayer | 04:23 |

| ubotu | GuCci^GirL: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 04:23 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech yes it did ask me for the password | 04:23 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: ok it worked then. in your home directory should now be a text file called myhardware open it and paste the content in to pastebin | 04:24 |
| evil_tech | !pastebin | Eagle2160 | 04:24 |
| ubotu | Eagle2160: 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) | 04:24 |
| theshadow | does anyone know the package names for the libraries lame faad2 and mad | 04:24 |
| worthawholebean | I've got custom gtk/glib installed (for development) and I need the thing I'm working on (bunch of gnome stuff) to link to my custom glib/gtk, not the system one. | 04:24 |
| RazorFish | how do i uninstall ubuntu? | 04:25 |
| timandtom | Are there any other good Windows emulators? Wine isn't working very well for IMVU. It's 3d game, losta communicating with the server, and loading new objects. It also has a website with link that interact with the program, but thats not very important to me. | 04:25 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech home directory? pastebin? | 04:25 |
| iN00DLE | uninstall an entire OS, RazorFish ? I believe you would reformat or install another OS over it | 04:25 |
| jbinder | How can I get the alternate disc? | 04:25 |
| jbinder | I selected the alternate checkbox on ubuntu.com and it decided to ignore me and I just wasted a CD burning the regular disc. | 04:26 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: go to Places-> home folder | 04:26 |
| worthawholebean | theshadow, apt-cache search | 04:26 |
| RazorFish | i'm trying to upgrade from fiesty fawn but keep getting an error | 04:26 |
| RazorFish | want to start from the beginning | 04:26 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160" | 04:26 |
| nickrud | jbinder: releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 , you can download the alternate directly there | 04:26 |
| evil_tech | dang cat | 04:26 |
| iN00DLE | just install whatever it is you want to move on to, RazorFish | 04:26 |
| worthawholebean | timandtom, few 3D games will work *well* under emulation | 04:26 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech oh gotcha | 04:26 |
| osxdude|vm | Someone help me, there is a messed up proxy thingy here. It can't connect to localhost:4001 and I don't know what I installed. | 04:27 |
| worthawholebean | WINE maybe | 04:27 |
| iN00DLE | if you want Gutsy without using upgrade install gutsy from CD or alt source, RazorFish | 04:27 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech so what are we trying to accomplish right now? | 04:27 |
| gaten | my usb drive won't mount in gusty. I;ve tried 'modprobe -r ehci_hcd' to no avail, and the only message dmesg ever puts out about it is 'ehci_hcd --- USB bus 3 deregistered'. any ideas? | 04:27 |
| RazorFish | would love to use upgrade but it doesn't seem to work - aborts on read error | 04:28 |
| nickrud | worthawholebean: I'd ask on #gnome , they do that often | 04:28 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: trying to figure out the specs on your machine to see if there is any hope for you to have desktop effects | 04:28 |
| DanielEads | Any ideas why a PS/2 barcode scanner would power up and "beep" when scanning barcodes, but won't actually spit the barcode out into a text field? | 04:28 |
| timandtom | worthawholebean: Yeh, I know... But, meh, I don't know much about Linux, I was hoping there was some way | 04:28 |
| worthawholebean | nickrud, thanks | 04:28 |
| MrObvious | DanielEads: Nope. | 04:28 |
| sosus_ | Are there any webcams that work with ubuntu (gutsy) out of the box? | 04:29 |
| iN00DLE | did you change all your repository sources from Feisty to Gutsy, RazorFish ? | 04:29 |
| RazorFish | no | 04:29 |
| jbinder | Wow... The torrent is really fast. | 04:29 |
| adub | i am having problem getting mplayer to scale video sizes | 04:29 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech oh well my computer just shut down power went out =/ | 04:29 |
| adub | it will just stay one size | 04:29 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: that sucks | 04:29 |
| RazorFish | is it that simple inoodle | 04:29 |
| iN00DLE | should be RazorFish unless you are having another issue local to your machine | 04:30 |
| DanielEads | adub: Is your heart set on mplayer? VLC usually works pretty well for me | 04:30 |
| GuCci^GirL | hmm | 04:30 |
| GuCci^GirL | still couldnt register | 04:30 |
| nickrud | adub: try mplayer -vo xv <mediafile> | 04:30 |
| worthawholebean | nickrud, no response in the gnome channel | 04:31 |
| timandtom | Are there are any other Windows emulators that would be worth trying for IMVU? | 04:31 |
| RazorFish | i do that in the synaptic package manager - correct? inoodle | 04:31 |
| aganthorp | can someone tell my how I set xglx as my default xserver? | 04:31 |
| nickrud | worthawholebean: It's been too long since I've built that stuff, sorry | 04:31 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: you mean xserver-xgl ? Install it | 04:31 |
| aganthorp | I did install it | 04:32 |
| jedinick | adub: When running mplayer, did you use the -zoom option? | 04:32 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: then it would be the default for ati | 04:32 |
| adub | jedinick i use the gui | 04:32 |
| iN00DLE | here RazorFish , the official method http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading | 04:32 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: it isn't turning out that way | 04:32 |
| sosus_ | Can anyone recommend a good webcam that will work with ubuntu? | 04:32 |
| RazorFish | thx inoodle | 04:32 |
| nickrud | adub: then use the gui and set the video out to xv | 04:32 |
| Grouda1 | can someone explain me step-by-step how to access grub and change the default OS? | 04:33 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: you trying to get compiz sorted out? | 04:33 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: I am using ati and it obviously isn't using xglx because it isn't in my processes and I am getting a no composite extension error trying to use compiz | 04:33 |
| adub | nickrud the video wont open then it will only let vidoe open with x11 | 04:33 |
| nickrud | adub: ah, you running compiz? that's what happens. You have to use the x11 output, and mplayer won't scale that | 04:34 |
| RazorFish | inoodle - i have followed the link directions and it is the Upgrade dialog that aborts | 04:34 |
| jorge_ | que rollo | 04:34 |
| FactTech | sosus_: I think there's pretty wide support. Do you have any particular models in mind? | 04:34 |
| adub | i dont know if im using compiz or not | 04:34 |
| evil_tech | is there a way to route traffic to a specific NIC. for example to route VNC via my direct connection to the contrlled computer rather than through my router? | 04:34 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: uninstall xserver-xgl , restart X , then run fglrxinfo . Make sure it's using ati drivers, not mesa for 3d | 04:34 |
| Grouda1 | can someone explain me step-by step how to access grub to change the default OS? | 04:35 |
| nickrud | adub: you got wobbly windows or other fancy effects? | 04:35 |
| adub | ya xv crashes | 04:35 |
| darkkith | evil_tech are both your nic's on the same subnet? | 04:35 |
| adub | nickrud not that i know of | 04:35 |
| sosus_ | FactTech, Not really, I was thinking logitech but only because that is what I've seen so far... I just want something that is easy to work with and good quality | 04:35 |
| adub | i just have a plan jane setup | 04:35 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: no | 04:35 |
| sosus_ | FactTech, do you have a specific recommendation? | 04:35 |
| nickrud | adub: strange then. That's the only time I've had problems with xv. | 04:35 |
| FactTech | sosus_: No, I haven't tried to get one working in linux yet. | 04:35 |
| darkkith | evil_tech then maybe i am not understanding what you mean | 04:35 |
| GuCci^GirL | hmm | 04:36 |
| FactTech | sosus_: I just remember reading an article lately about some guy who personally wrote a driver usable by over 200 models or something. | 04:36 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: ok going to reboot x I will be back | 04:36 |
| sosus_ | FactTech, wow, do you remember where you saw the article? | 04:36 |
| iN00DLE | upgrade dialog via what , RazorFish ? | 04:36 |
| adub | im reading it could be compiz | 04:36 |
| FactTech | sosus_: It showed up a couple times on digg... hold a sec. | 04:36 |
| adub | how do i know if i have that running | 04:36 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: ok i have two NIC's in each computer. one of them supplies them the internet and are plugged into a router. the other nic is connected to the ither computer. i want to route VNC over the direct connection instead of through the router | 04:36 |
| theshadow | How do I install the ivtv drivers | 04:37 |
| RazorFish | within the Update Manager inoodle | 04:37 |
| sp0ro | So I just did "killall gnome-panel", now how do I get it back? (fyi I am asking how can I open up a terminal without gnome or without restarting xserver or logging off the user[recompiling kernel at the moment]) | 04:37 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: my fglrxinfo output is as follows | 04:37 |
| aganthorp | display: :0.0 screen: 0 | 04:37 |
| aganthorp | OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. | 04:37 |
| aganthorp | OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON X300 | 04:37 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: don't paste | 04:37 |
| FactTech | sosus_: http://www.digg.com/linux_unix/All_235_low_cost_webcams_supported_thanks_to_this_man | 04:37 |
| iN00DLE | try the command line or synaptic, command line preferred since you will get more than just a failed result hopefully | 04:38 |
| iN00DLE | RazorFish, | 04:38 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: just the last line, that will do | 04:38 |
| WorkingOnWise | how can I install a package that has unmet dependencies? Make apt-get install it anyway? | 04:38 |
| sosus_ | FactTech, thanks! | 04:38 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: am I doing something wrong? | 04:38 |
| FactTech | sosus_: No problem | 04:38 |
| iN00DLE | WorkingOnWise, always on the edge I see | 04:38 |
| DanielEads | sosus_: people on newegg say this works with linux and specifically ubuntu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16826104021&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=100&SelectedRating=-1&PurchaseMark=&VideoOnlyMark=False&Page= | 04:38 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: yeah, pasting here is wrong :) Just show me the last line, it has the important info | 04:38 |
| adub | ahh i got it | 04:38 |
| sp0ro | So is there anyway to run terminal without restart xserver, logging off, or without the use of gnome-panel? | 04:38 |
| adub | gl2 was my combination | 04:38 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: lmao! hey there! U know it! | 04:38 |
| aganthorp | OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8) | 04:38 |
| adub | now i need to find out how to play wmv i have w32codecs installed but not luck | 04:39 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: you're using feisty, right? | 04:39 |
| iN00DLE | try and meet those dependencies would be my suggestion WorkingOnWise , is it a popular package or to bleeding edge? | 04:39 |
| evil_tech | sp0ro: alt + f2 then run xterm? | 04:39 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: correct | 04:39 |
| sosus_ | DanielEads, thanks | 04:39 |
| darkkith | evil_tech you should be able to bind your VNC server to the direct connect NIC by specifying the interface. regardless, the client should be able to connec to the server by ip, so specify the ip of the direct connect NIC on teh vnc server and you shoudl be fine. assuming the direct connect NICS are in their own subnet, and the router connected NIC's are in a different subnet. | 04:39 |
| spencer | how do i set my resolution to 1440x900? | 04:39 |
| FactTech | Question: Does anyone know anything about video codecs? | 04:39 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: for feisty you have to jump through some hoops to get xgl server to run. A sec, I'll run down a link | 04:40 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: ok let me see if that will do it | 04:40 |
| sosus_ | FactTech, If your ever looking for a camera, I just found this list of supported cameras: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html | 04:40 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: thanks, I was running gutsy originally but I downgraded because I had troubles with SLUB | 04:40 |
| FactTech | spencer Is that resolution on the list of options in display settings? | 04:40 |
| adub | what codec do i need to play wmv files | 04:40 |
| sp0ro | evil_tech: alt+f2 is not bringing up a run screen for some reason. Like I said earlier, I ran "killall gnome-panel" | 04:40 |
| spencer | FactTech: no | 04:40 |
| FactTech | sosus_: Thanks. I'll check it out. | 04:40 |
| darkkith | evil_tech you might find that VNC has its own set of problems, depending what exactly you are trying to do. I found that nomachines free client/server is very efficient for remote connections. | 04:40 |
| FactTech | spencer: But you know your monitor can support it? | 04:41 |
| nickrud | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/Xgl (and the new ati works with slub, use http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide ) | 04:41 |
| sp0ro | evil_tech: That's the reason I need to open up a terminal. | 04:41 |
| Blinkiz | Am having problem understanding how to burn a cd iso file with command line tool cdrecord. "cdrecord -v myisofile.iso" make the burn start but then a error message comes up, "cdrecord: CUE sheet still not accepted", "cdrecord: Cannot send CUE sheet." and "cdrecord: Could not write Lead-in.". Finally "cdrecord: fifo had 128 puts and 0 gets." What should I do to be able to burn a normal iso file with cdrecord? | 04:41 |
| PJ | Anyone using opera and have skins fully working? | 04:41 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: bleeding edge. Gnome-do the package it wants is actually there, but in hadry it is called something differant. I dont want to change the code if I can just give apt-get the command "apt-get install --because-I-am-smarter-than-you gnome-do" :) | 04:41 |
| evil_tech | darkkith:ive noticed that thats why i wanted to use the gigabit between the two | 04:41 |
| spencer | FactTech: Yes that what it is built for | 04:41 |
| evil_tech | vnc uber laggy | 04:41 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: I forgot your nick look up. I have suspend working nicely with that link | 04:41 |
| FactTech | spencer: Check into your settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf... you can see what is detected for your monitor type. | 04:42 |
| DanielEads | adub: are you using totem? | 04:42 |
| darkkith | evil_tech the gigabity probably woulnd't make much difference regarding VNC's latency | 04:42 |
| evil_tech | sp0ro:couldnt you just go to a different tty and do what you need? | 04:42 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: I tried everything I could find on getting it to cooperate with SLUB but I couldn't do it | 04:42 |
| darkkith | sp0ro open a terminal by doing this. CTL+ALT+F1 | 04:42 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: the downside is the aiglx in the new driver isn't quite there, you get some jerky motion occasionally | 04:42 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: I have only been using linux for two days though | 04:42 |
| darkkith | sp0ro login as your user and then type export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 04:43 |
| darkkith | sp0ro then type 'xterm' | 04:43 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: does nomachine work in windows? cause im controlling my ubuntu box from my windows box currently | 04:43 |
| aganthorp | nickrud: I am still trying to figure out what the hell I am doing most of the time | 04:43 |
| darkkith | sp0ro finally hit ALT+F7 to return to your xwindows session with the term | 04:43 |
| WorkingOnWise | so is there a way to install a package without meeting the dependencies? | 04:43 |
| FactTech | spencer: If necessary, you may need to update your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with additional parameters as described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/180601 | 04:44 |
| darkkith | evil_tech yes they have windows clients and it works great under ubuntu. www.nomachine.com .. the free version only supports 2 simultaneous connections, however that does not sound likee a problem for you | 04:44 |
| spencer | FactTech what do i look for in that file | 04:44 |
| iN00DLE | I don't recall the exact option, WorkingOnWise , --force or something | 04:44 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: nope perfect actually | 04:44 |
| FactTech | spencer: There will be a section titled "Monitor" | 04:44 |
| FactTech | spencer: Be absolutely sure that you use manufacturer specification data for your exact model. Setting it too high is not good. | 04:44 |
| cleaton | !virtual terminal | 04:44 |
| nickrud | aganthorp: I used that howto, and the acpi-support stuff at the bottom of http://blog.vaxius.net/?p=19 . Only the acpi-support stuff from that page | 04:45 |
| DanielEads | adub: if you are using totem (i am assuming you are, it's the default) you need to install the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg package | 04:45 |
| FactTech | spencer: Setting it too high can potentially damage your monitor. | 04:45 |
| cleaton | hm. my virtual terminals aren't working,, is there a way to enable them? | 04:45 |
| darkkith | does anyone know if ubuntu can export 1080p to my television (nvidia geforce 7600 card) | 04:45 |
| spencer | FactTech how would it do that? | 04:45 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: I checked man apt-get and the only thing I found was --ignore-missing, which oddly enough, didnt work.... | 04:45 |
| FactTech | spencer: | 04:45 |
| neztit1 | guys ubuntu works on pa-risk machine?? | 04:45 |
| FactTech | spencer: How can you do what? | 04:45 |
| jetscreamer | risc? | 04:46 |
| spencer | FactTech how would it damge your montier | 04:46 |
| sp0ro | darkkith: Thanks, will try that. | 04:46 |
| neztit1 | yes | 04:46 |
| roadfish | I did mke2fs but the new UUID is not in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ... how do I refresh /dev/disk/by-uuid/ without doing a reboot? | 04:46 |
| evil_tech | reduced instruction set but what does the PA stand for? | 04:46 |
| FactTech | spencer: By sending the signal at a frequency that is too high for its circuit to handle. This will probably not happen for any relatively recent monitors, but it's not wise to chance it. | 04:47 |
| spencer | FactTech: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51629/ | 04:47 |
| iN00DLE | WorkingOnWise, what are you trying to install exactly? | 04:47 |
| spencer | FactTech there is my moniter section of that file | 04:47 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: gnome-do | 04:47 |
| RazorFish | iNOODLE - ran sudo apt-get upgrade and nothing changed - received: Reading package lists... Done | 04:47 |
| RazorFish | Building dependency tree | 04:47 |
| RazorFish | Reading state information... Done | 04:47 |
| RazorFish | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 04:47 |
| nickrud | roadfish: try using blkid , it may read it on the fly | 04:47 |
| nik_ | nickrud: hay this is zeemysteryman i used SGD once and it didnt work, i used it again and it loaded linux from the hard drive but idk if it will load without the disk do you know? | 04:47 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: the dependency problem is a known bug. | 04:47 |
| evil_tech | stupid clearwire slow connection having blarg | 04:48 |
| nettow0822 | what would be the command line to rid a program......sudo rm X --purge | 04:48 |
| FactTech | spencer: It detected the monitor type, but it looks like the default data for that type is doesn't allow the resolution setting you want. | 04:48 |
| nickrud | nik_: you should be able to use the info that sgd used in your menu.lst . | 04:48 |
| spencer | FactTech why would it not allow it? | 04:48 |
| sp0ro | darkkith: That brought up a terminal, but I can't run "gnome-panel" off that to start gnome-panel back up on my xserver | 04:48 |
| DanielEads | adub: did that fix your problem? | 04:48 |
| iN00DLE | WorkingOnWise, do you have it as a deb pkg? | 04:48 |
| evil_tech | nettow822: are you trying to uninstall it? cause that would be sudo apt-get remove packagename | 04:49 |
| FactTech | spencer: As I understand it, the range of resolutions are automatically determined based on the information on horizontal and vertical scan rates. | 04:49 |
| nickrud | nik_: again, I'm not a grub expert , maybe someone here can interpret what it's doing for you | 04:49 |
| darkkith | sp0ro is there a reason you cannot rstart your xsession ? | 04:49 |
| sp0ro | darkkith: Nevermind, got it. Thanks a ton. :) | 04:49 |
| evil_tech | hes compiling | 04:49 |
| nik_ | how do i get that info? i booted SGD and chose the option&linux auto or something like that and it went blank and loaded gusty | 04:49 |
| sp0ro | darkkith: Yeah, recompiling my kernel at the moment. | 04:49 |
| nettow0822 | trying to reinstall a module | 04:49 |
| FactTech | spencer: Some monitors just have "safe" rates programmed, but you can override them as described in that link. | 04:49 |
| spencer | FactTech, so do you recommend trying to change it to 1440x900 | 04:49 |
| darkkith | sp0ro in future you should do things like that in a 'screen' session.. | 04:49 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: it is a repository. apt-get wont download it because of the dep problem. | 04:49 |
| darkkith | sp0ro you won't have to leave the xterm open for the process to continue then. | 04:49 |
| sp0ro | darkkith: Live and learn. :) | 04:49 |
| FactTech | spencer: If you enter in the correct manufacturer data, all options you get should be safe. | 04:49 |
| nik_ | nickrud: I WILL attempt to reload without sgd | 04:49 |
| nickrud | nik_: ask a grub expert to walk you through the manual stuff. At least you've confirmed that it will boot, that's the real hurdle | 04:49 |
| FactTech | spencer: Just don't guess the numbers you enter, is what I'm saying. | 04:50 |
| nik_ | yeah | 04:50 |
| osxdude|vm | Uh, guys? | 04:50 |
| nik_ | nickrud: would they be in this channel? | 04:50 |
| sp0ro | darkkith: Thanks for the advice, will take that into consideration. Definitely makes a lot more sense. ;) | 04:50 |
| osxdude|vm | My APT lost it's super cow powers... it won't connect to the proxy at localhost:4001 | 04:50 |
| nik_ | nickrud: nvm i will try on my own first | 04:51 |
| RazorFish | iNOODLE: ran sudo apt-get upgrade and nothing changed - received: Reading package lists... Done | 04:51 |

| iN00DLE | you *could* go to that repository via browser, nab pkg then force install via shotgun with gdebi | 04:51 |
| iN00DLE | WorkingOnWise, | 04:51 |
| FactTech | spencer: Just add lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf for HorizSync and VertRefresh, as described in the link, but do *not* use the values in that example. Use the examples from your monitor's manual or specifications. | 04:51 |
| gaten | im having problems mounting my usb flash drive. the only message dmesg gives out is 'ehci_hcd ...: USB bus 3 deregistered'. ive tried 'modprobe -r ehci_hcd' to no avail. any ideas? | 04:51 |
| nettow0822 | can anyone help me with the purge command? | 04:51 |
| nickrud | nik_: has an external usb hard drive that won't boot from the ubuntu created grub, but will boot with super grub disk. The relevant info is in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51627/ , http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51626/ , and http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51625/ . A grub expert is needed :) | 04:51 |
| FernandoL | could someone help me get my sound working on ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| adub | what is the program for wireless that is new since fiesty that will stay up by your clock i have gutsy and its not up there | 04:51 |
| adub | want to get that program for wireless by my clock | 04:52 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: What's the symptom you're getting? | 04:52 |
| Cryoniq | Anyone using a Wacom Bamboo tablet? Would like to know how one sort of "calibrate" it so it match the screen so to speak... | 04:52 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: I just don't get any sound coming out of my laptop :( | 04:52 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: Do you know what kind of sound hardware it has? | 04:52 |
| darkkith | adub network-admin ? | 04:52 |
| spencer | FactTech should those numbers be online? the manufactureres website? | 04:52 |
| roadfish | nickrud: thanks for the tip but doesn't update /dev/disk/by-uuid/ ... anyway, I have the answer now: partprobe -s | 04:52 |
| FactTech | spencer: Usually you can find them online or in the printed manual that came with the monitor. | 04:53 |
| FactTech | spencer: Who made your monitor? | 04:53 |
| nickrud | roadfish: thanks. I could have used that a few days ago :) | 04:53 |
| spencer | FactTech Viewsonic | 04:53 |
| FactTech | spencer: look up "Viewsonic <model number> specifications" on google | 04:53 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: i'm here....dogs needed me... | 04:53 |
| adub | darkkith not sure i just know that it shows wireless aps | 04:53 |
| regulate | my esc key doesn't work | 04:53 |
| nickrud | roadfish: oh, that is a nice command to know, thanks again | 04:54 |
| adub | and its in system tray | 04:54 |
| regulate | neither does my colon key | 04:54 |
| regulate | + | 04:54 |
| iN00DLE | I don't know the answer so reask the question for others who may know WorkingOnWise , or download the file from the repository address via browser and force install with gdebi | 04:54 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: I have no idea what my sound card is | 04:54 |
| evil_tech | adub: network-admin will do that when you enable wireless | 04:54 |
| regulate | -*/ | 04:54 |
| evil_tech | FernandoL: lspci from a terminal | 04:55 |
| darkkith | adub just run it with sudo, sudo network-admin | 04:55 |
| darkkith | damn | 04:55 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: Do you see anything that looks like a sound card when you type 'lspci -v' in a terminal? | 04:55 |
| nik_ | nickrud: it works ^_^ | 04:55 |
| nickrud | nik_: it just started ??? | 04:55 |
| WorkingOnWise | iN00DLE: i didnt know gdebi could force an install.... | 04:55 |
| nik_ | nickrud: yeah i rebooted my comp and it started | 04:55 |
| regulate | -* | 04:55 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: nope | 04:56 |
| nickrud | nik_: well at least I know I read the stuff right. heh. | 04:56 |
| darkkith | i came here to get my ipod touch working in linux or 1080p exported to my tv, and ended up helping more people than answered me. this place is a trap | 04:56 |

| nickrud | nik_: hm, put the /boot/grub/menu.lst back up on pastebin, I want to see if it changed | 04:56 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: i dont know, all I know is that it's gateway. Someone gave it to me. | 04:56 |
| nik_ | ok | 04:57 |
| WorkingOnWise | darkkith knows our evil secrets now.... | 04:57 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: I haven't had it for long | 04:57 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: It's a gateway model what? | 04:57 |
| darkkith | lol | 04:57 |
| adub | How do i make a program the default program to run a certain file type | 04:57 |
| FactTech | Question: Does anyone know anything about video codecs? | 04:57 |
| nik_ | how do i bring that back up? | 04:57 |
| evil_tech | right click on the file adub and choose one | 04:58 |
| darkkith | adub try right-clicking in nautilus, similar to what you would do in windows. | 04:58 |
| nik_ | nickrud: sorry how do i bring it up agian/> | 04:58 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: well I dont know what modelit is because someone gave it to me. | 04:58 |
| nickrud | nik_: if you're running from the hard disk, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:58 |
| evil_tech | does linux use APIPA? | 04:58 |
| iN00DLE | lol darkkith >.> | 04:58 |
| FernandoL | facttech: im looking for any model names around the laptop, one sec | 04:58 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: Usually there is a label or something on the bottom (for a laptop) that will tell the model number. | 04:58 |
| FactTech | Question: Is there a better forum than this one to ask about video codecs? | 04:59 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: W340UI is the model | 04:59 |
| darkkith | !codcs | 04:59 |
| nik_ | what is the url agian? | 04:59 |

| FactTech | FernandoL: Looks like others have had the same problem... I'm reading. | 05:01 |
| niuq | how can i verify if my ftp server is running? | 05:01 |
| nickrud | evil_tech: no, evil-tech = windows , being evil on #windows as evil-tech is recursive | 05:01 |
| evil_tech | lol | 05:02 |
| th0r | niuq ps ax | grep ftp | 05:02 |
| evil_tech | alas much supporting of windows does I | 05:02 |
| niuq | th0r ps -e | grep ftp is the same right? | 05:02 |
| th0r | niuq don't know....I always use ax | 05:03 |
| spencer | FactTech this is what i found, is this the info i need Fh: 30~82kHz, Fv: 50~85Hz | 05:03 |
| niuq | th0r what output should i get? | 05:03 |
| evil_tech | grrr i gave my second adapter an ip address yet it doesnt show up when i do an ifconfig | 05:03 |
| FactTech | spencer: OK, great. So you see how you would plug that in as in the example from that link I gave you? | 05:03 |
| angloman | hey, I recently upgraded to an nvidia 8800gt and went from analog to a digital connection. I'm trying to get to a command console to install the nvidia drivers but for some reason when i ctrl+alt+f2 from the login screen all i get is a blinking cursor | 05:04 |
| nickrud | evil_tech: did you do ifup <interface> ? (silly question, I hope) | 05:04 |
| th0r | niuq if the server is running you will see a line with ftpd in it and a process id number. If there is no ftp server runniing the only line will be the grep command | 05:04 |
| === tftv is now known as Ashfire | ||
| spencer | Facttech i think so | 05:04 |
| th0r | niuq (the process of the grep command) | 05:04 |
| evil_tech | yeah i tried bringing it up and down | 05:04 |
| evil_tech | no dive | 05:04 |
| evil_tech | dice* | 05:04 |
| jbinder | "Is the system clock set to UTC?" | 05:04 |
| FactTech | spencer: First, make a backup of /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then edit it (you need to do this in su mode), then restart X (CTRL-ALT-Backspace). The new settings should kick in. | 05:04 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| niuq | th0r i actually get 5 outputs, well let me check if it's working | 05:05 |
| darkkith | evil_tech still troubles with that gige direct interface? | 05:05 |
| nickrud | jbinder: it can be, depends on what you requested during the install | 05:05 |
| niuq | th0r i mean lines | 05:05 |
| evil_tech | yeah | 05:05 |
| angloman | Is there a way I can get to the ubuntu console to install the nvidia drivers? | 05:05 |
| th0r | niuq there may be more than one instance running....that might be normal depending on the server software | 05:05 |
| FactTech | spencer: You know how to enter superuser mode? | 05:05 |
| nickrud | jbinder: grep UTC /etc/defaults/rcS will tell you if it is | 05:05 |
| niuq | th0r proftp | 05:05 |
| Some_Person | is the kde4 in gutsy-backports the new stable verison? | 05:06 |
| th0r | niuq for instance, in my webserver I see a dozen instances of apache | 05:06 |
| spencer | FactTech ya sudo | 05:06 |
| darkkith | evil_tech before fighting with it too much longer, just give nomachine a try. i use it from work to my home pc and it feels almost local. | 05:06 |
| FernandoL | facttech thanks for the help I think I found some good help on the forums | 05:06 |
| FactTech | spencer: If you're using plain Ubuntu, you should use 'gksudo' instead to activate a graphical app (like gedit). | 05:06 |
| darkkith | tahts while i'm seeding 70k/s upstream for torrents | 05:06 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: No sweat, good luck. | 05:06 |
| niuq | th0r ok, i get it | 05:06 |
| FernandoL | facttech that came out wrong! I didnt mean that the forums had better help, I just dont wanna bother you :) | 05:06 |

| angloman | is there a reason I woudln't be able to access a console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F2? | 05:07 |
| angloman | anyone?> | 05:07 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: Not a bother. I've just been going through a bunch of sound stuff myself, so it's good practice. This is the help forum, after all. | 05:07 |
| inkaico | hello does someone know how to setup a network printer? | 05:07 |
| FernandoL | FactTech: alright. One thing I'd like to know though, how can I make my user root? | 05:07 |
| niuq | angloman: i think that's the hot key for opening a new session | 05:08 |
| Some_Person | is the kde4 in gutsy-backports the new stable verison? | 05:08 |
| FactTech | FernandoL: If you're using Ubuntu, you don't want to login as root, you want to activate root abilities using 'sudo' (for terminal apps) or 'gksudo' (for graphical apps). | 05:08 |
| angloman | I need to login to just the console to install nvidia drivers for my 8800gt... does anyone know how I can do that? | 05:08 |
| angloman | it says I can't have x running | 05:08 |
| Enkidu_ak | Are any of you familiar with LBRC? | 05:09 |
| FernandoL | facttech oh okay | 05:09 |
| nickrud | angloman: clt-alt-f1 , hit enter, log in, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop. Do your nvidia stuff , then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to restart X | 05:09 |
| angloman | nickrud: when I press ctrl+alt+f1 it just gives me a blinking cursor | 05:09 |
| j2daosh | how do i make a ntfs filesystem writeable from the live CD without having access to that drive in windows? | 05:09 |
| angloman | and I can't do anything else afterways | 05:10 |
| niuq | th0r well is not working, can you help me out, troubleshooting? | 05:10 |
| th0r | angloman you would have to use F2-F6...F1 is the tty running X | 05:10 |
| nickrud | angloman: oh, you have one of those cursor bugs. You can try booting into recovery mode, and doing the nvidia stuff there. Then type exit to continue to X | 05:10 |
| evil_tech | i have to wait for synaptic to finish before i can install nomachine here | 05:10 |
| th0r | niuq give me a sec | 05:10 |
| FactTech | Question: Third try -- anyone know anything about video codecs? | 05:10 |
| niuq | th0r okay | 05:11 |
| darkkith | alright how about this. anyone here want to write me a fancy perl CLI to my ldap server | 05:11 |
| nickrud | th0r: X does that with some cards? I though it used the first free console after 1-6 | 05:11 |
| angloman | nickrud: thanks! I'll try that | 05:11 |
| g4lv4tr0n | hi ive just formatted my spare drive too ext3 and mounted it on yelllowdog linux using ext3, i can read from it but cant write to it ??? | 05:11 |
| nickrud | angloman: try clt-alt-f2 first, | 05:11 |
| g4lv4tr0n | hi ive just formatted my spare drive too ext3 and mounted it on yelllowdog linux using nfs, i can read from it but cant write to it ??? | 05:11 |
| angloman | nickrud: i did... same thing, I just get the blinking cursor | 05:11 |
| nickrud | angloman: ok, thanks. You do have that bug | 05:12 |
| th0r | nickrud X uses F7, but it is called from F1....F2 through F6 should still be available for login, but F1 is the original you log into to start x | 05:12 |
| iN00DLE | isnt yellowdog redhat? | 05:12 |
| _Net | Hi There. | 05:12 |
| nickrud | th0r: no, not here. | 05:12 |
| g4lv4tr0n | how can i mount a ext3 drive using nfs and write to it ? | 05:12 |
| th0r | niuq open a terminal and type '/etc/init.d/proftpd restart' and see what it says | 05:12 |
| evil_tech | FactTech: what about video codecs? | 05:12 |
| g4lv4tr0n | i have it mounted just cant write to it | 05:12 |
| _Net | Does anyone have any Links or tutorials to how to properly uninstall Ubuntu. I am dual booting with xp media center, I have 100gb of Ubuntu that I want back on my XP harddrive. Any help please? I've tried google | 05:12 |
| niuq | th0r when i did that i had no output | 05:13 |
| niuq | th0r okay | 05:13 |
| iN00DLE | g4lv4tr0n, you should find a redhat or yellow dog chat room, this room is for ubuntu | 05:13 |
| jay-oh-en | does anybody know where the tty's are located | 05:13 |
| jay-oh-en | ? | 05:13 |
| niuq | th0r btw, i'm not using standalone | 05:13 |
| grekkos | g4lv4tr0n: i've never dealt with nfs before but i think it may have to do with how you mounted it, if it's anything like any other device you have to make sure you're not mounting it read only | 05:13 |
| nickrud | _Net: after you back up your ubuntu stuff, must format the partition you gave to ubuntu as ntfs | 05:13 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: I'm having a weird issue -- some .avi files that used to work fine no longer play video since I've been mucking about with my sound card. If I try to launch vlc from terminal, it complains that the codec is IV41 -- a proprietary one. | 05:13 |
| evil_tech | jay-oh-en: CTR+ALT+F1-6 | 05:13 |
| sarixe | hi, i need some help getting my laptop's soundcard to work all the way. | 05:13 |
| niuq | th0r i thought would be easier using xinetd | 05:13 |
| nickrud | _Net: that was supposed to just, not must | 05:13 |
| jay-oh-en | evil_tech: i mean like in /dev or wherever | 05:13 |
| sarixe | my current problem is that, though i can play sound fine, the line in and webcam mic don't work at all. | 05:14 |
| jbinder | /dev/tty1 | 05:14 |
| pygmymath | Evenin | 05:14 |
| grekkos | how can I change my default video application under gnome? | 05:14 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: I haven't the foggiest about how codecs work in linux and am looking for some basic orientation. | 05:14 |
| jay-oh-en | jbinder: thanks | 05:14 |
| niuq | th0r not sure if that make any sense | 05:14 |
| evil_tech | FactTech:no clue either i just know where to find em in repos and which ones to install | 05:14 |
| pygmymath | FactTech: what evil said | 05:14 |
| Madpilot | ubotu, codecs | FactTech | 05:14 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: I'm thinking the proper codec got accidentally removed, but I've reinstalled all packages. | 05:14 |
| ubotu | FactTech: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 05:14 |
| sarixe | i have a dell xps m1530 with an intel hd audio | 05:15 |
| _Net | nickrud: I have already backed up my things, How would format the partition? Should I do it under windows or do it in linux? | 05:15 |
| niuq | th0r i am using xinetd daemon for ftp | 05:15 |
| FactTech | Madpilot: I didn't even think to ask the bot. | 05:15 |
| _Net | nickrud: also wouldnt that break the startup, grub runs at startup and formatting it would screw things up. | 05:15 |
| nickrud | _Net: I'd just do it in windows. It's the only one that really knows ntfs, anyway | 05:15 |
| Madpilot | FactTech, always ask the bot. The bot knows all. :) | 05:15 |
| th0r | niuq I follow that. Just a sec | 05:15 |
| nickrud | _Net: you would boot your XP install disk into repair, and fdisk /mbr to return to the XP boot loader | 05:16 |
| niuq | th0r ok, sorry for being pushing | 05:16 |
| darkkith | FactTech i spit that out earlier for you as well. | 05:16 |
| evil_tech | i think the dual boot how to tell you how to get rid of ubuntu | 05:16 |
| FactTech | darkkith: Must have missed it. Thanks, though. | 05:16 |
| evil_tech | least it did last time i looked at it | 05:16 |
| pygmymath | _Net: make sure you defrag your windows partition unless you're not dual booting | 05:16 |
| nickrud | !dualboot | _Net (per evil_tech) | 05:16 |
| ubotu | _Net (per evil_tech): Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 05:16 |
| th0r | niuq I just tried it and got an error about not being able to start...but that doesn't surprise me as I never configured it....never needed it | 05:16 |
| _Net | nickrud: My xp didnt come with an XP CD but it came with a master format CD, If I had to recovery my computer there is a dual option on windows dual menu | 05:16 |
| th0r | niuq it should be possible to restart it without restarting xinetd. | 05:17 |
| nickrud | _Net: you know more than I do about windows, I try to learn as little as possible. It hasn't been my main os since 98 | 05:17 |
| pygmymath | Anyone here use icewm? | 05:17 |
| niuq | th0r i get an error if i don't use xinetd | 05:17 |
| evil_tech | hate it when computer manufacturers dont give you a os disc | 05:17 |
| _Net | nickrud: :) Thanks for your help still. | 05:17 |
| root___ | can somebody help me ,everytime i restart my screen goes to a black screen with a little white line but my computers worked for six months til now? | 05:17 |
| william | hi | 05:17 |
| iN00DLE | I bet you do evil_tech | 05:17 |
| _Net | nickrud: I think I have it figured out. Should I do the fixmbr first or remove the linux partition | 05:17 |
| pygmymath | lol evil, hence i use ubuntu :P | 05:18 |
| nickrud | _Net: do the fixmbr I'd say. Get windows booting right, then move on | 05:18 |
| _Net | reason Im doing this, I made a mistake and gave linux 100gb of space, I want to make it only 10gb, and install fedora on the side | 05:18 |
| th0r | niuq what does the error indicate? that you need to use xinetd? | 05:18 |
| niuq | th0r ProFTPd warning: cannot start neither in standalone nor in inetd/xinetd mode. Check your configuration. | 05:18 |
| _Net | 100gb is quite a lot when you dont need it that badly, its for developing purposes only | 05:18 |
| evil_tech | _Net: doesnt matter. running fixmbr and fixboot will allow you to boot into XP and then you can use disk management to format the linux partition to NTFS | 05:18 |
| hunchybunch | evil_tech, fdisk /mbr from windows and format unknown partition | 05:18 |
| niuq | th0r well it's more a warning | 05:18 |
| root___ | can somebody help me ,everytime i restart my screen goes to a black screen with a little white line but my computers worked for six months til now? | 05:19 |
| evil_tech | that works too | 05:19 |
| ScRaMBlEr | que porra é essa? | 05:19 |
| pygmymath | root: changed anything recently? | 05:19 |
| BetaTest | HOw do I zip files? | 05:19 |
| niuq | th0r a configuration issue i guess | 05:19 |
| _Net | evil_tech: Some website has it fdisk /mbr and some has it fixmbr, try both or anyone know which works? | 05:19 |
| Kniggit | .. | 05:19 |
| iN00DLE | root___, hard drive power up and function, root___ ? | 05:20 |

| JerseyMonkey | Question: How do I install NVIDIA drivers from the recovery console? | 05:20 |
| pygmymath | BetaTest: run file-roller | 05:20 |
| FactTech | Madpilot, darkkith: Do either of you know if Xubuntu uses the gstreamer architecture? | 05:20 |
| th0r | niuq right...that's the error I get...I think it means that proftp isn't config'd correctly | 05:20 |
| evil_tech | _Net: i use fixmbr when it comes to dual booting | 05:20 |
| darkkith | FactTech no clue | 05:20 |
| darkkith | FactTech i use mplayer, it seems to just work. | 05:21 |
| Madpilot | FactTech, I think it does, but I'm not sure. #xubuntu | 05:21 |
| _Net | evil_tech: THanks for the help, god bless freenode. | 05:21 |
| iN00DLE | you made a symptom statement that made me wonder if your hard drive failed, root___ | 05:21 |
| _Net | I'll give this a try. thanks. | 05:21 |
| root___ | iN00DLE: it didnt im in recovery mode it didnt fail | 05:21 |
| niuq | th0r mmm, you want me to pastebin the configuration file? | 05:21 |
| evil_tech | FactTech: xubuntu uses totem and i think that it does use gstreamer | 05:21 |
| root___ | iN00DLE: "on the same harddrive" | 05:21 |
| evil_tech | you could always hassle the Sheep over in #xubuntu | 05:21 |
| evil_tech | >: D | 05:21 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: Thanks. | 05:21 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: I harassed TheSheep earlier today. I don't want to push it. | 05:22 |
| evil_tech | yeah he can get testy | 05:22 |
| pygmymath | root___: never used kde i'm afraid, couldn't say | 05:22 |
| LeChacal | hey, is there an option somewhere that i can enable so like in window i hold shift (or some button | 05:22 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: Since it seems he/she's the only one ever answering questions, I don't blame him/her. | 05:22 |
| spencer | factTech; i still do not see the option for 1440x900 | 05:23 |
| root___ | pygmymath: but i bet its not that cause i cdont have kde installed anymore | 05:23 |
| macogw | LeChacal: hold shift and do what? | 05:23 |
| evil_tech | you can sometimes catch sommerville32, soldats, or zordache | 05:23 |
| FactTech | spencer: Aw, crap. | 05:23 |
| FactTech | spencer: Did you restart X? | 05:23 |
| me29975 | Can anyone point me to some help for fixing white screen when enabling compiz? | 05:23 |
| spencer | factTech: ya then still didnt see it so i restarted whole computer | 05:23 |
| th0r | niuq I am not sure I would be able to do anything with it....I use sshfs outside my own network and fusesmb inside...haven't looked at ftp in years | 05:23 |
| pygmymath | root___: you have xfce4 now? | 05:24 |
| FactTech | spencer: Can you send me the new "Monitor" section from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? | 05:24 |
| root___ | pygmymath: no i have kubuntu and ubuntu installed | 05:24 |
| spencer | FactTech k hold on | 05:24 |
| Lokii- | i was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with installing the realtek alsa HD audio drivers | 05:24 |
| LeChacal | macogw: i meant to say hold down shift and when i delete something it doesn't go to the trash | 05:24 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: is no machine in the repos or should i use what is on the web site? | 05:24 |
| th0r | niuq open a second terminal and type 'tail -f /var/log/messages', then try to restart ftp again, see if you get any meaningful messages | 05:24 |
| pygmymath | me22975: What vidya card? | 05:24 |
| darkkith | evil_tech i installed from the website | 05:24 |

| evil_tech | ok | 05:24 |
| pygmymath | root___: does it boot into gdm? | 05:24 |

| darkkith | evil_tech there are three debs, just need to install in certain order. nxclient, nxnode, nxserver .. i think. | 05:25 |
| evil_tech | not in the repos so i guess that answers that | 05:25 |
| LeChacal | macogw: yes i want to skip the trash | 05:25 |
| root___ | pygmymath: right after the loading screen after grub it goes to a black screen with a white line | 05:25 |

| FactTech | spencer: I don't see the lines for your updated HorizSync and VertRefresh values. Did you enter them in? | 05:26 |
| pygmymath | root___: i had white vertical stripes | 05:26 |
| Wisteso | or do live CDs not work with PPC architectures anymore? | 05:27 |

| me29975 | pygmymath : i have 169.07 installed by envy | 05:32 |
| evil_tech | khaotik: the settings at your office and the ones at home might not be the same | 05:33 |
| niuq | th0r ok, than you, i'll try with wu-ftpd, i might be out of problems | 05:33 |
| khaotik | whats weird is it picks up internet. i open browser and my google home page appears | 05:33 |
| pygmymath | me22975: Hmm. Have you tried drivers from the apt-get? | 05:33 |
| evil_tech | well then that would mean it is working | 05:34 |
| darkkith | i'm testing.. someone say.. dark or kith or darkkith or .. | 05:34 |
| [R] | i've just tried ubuntu amd64 7.10 and 8.04 and both a) have no console output on bootup (my monitor just says no signal) b) when X loads it doesnt... the little circle cursor is there, but its locked up and nothing happens... anyone know how to fix this? | 05:34 |
| pygmymath | Bharadwaj: not sure to be honest but aptitude --help might be a good start.. | 05:34 |
| FactTech | darkkith | 05:34 |
| khaotik | i can google anything and it goes to that page, but when i click on a link to take me to a website it jus goes to a white screen and says done loading | 05:34 |
| darkkith | humm | 05:35 |
| me29975 | pygmymath: yes i tried those also | 05:35 |
| darkkith | that didn't work like i was hoping. | 05:35 |
| khaotik | how do i see if i have encryption on | 05:35 |
| Some_Person | Why is ubuntu wiki so sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow? | 05:35 |
| Starnestommy | for some reason, xfce's xfdesktop segfaults when I right-click on the desktop | 05:35 |
| Bharadwaj | pygmymath: Thanks,, will try it. | 05:36 |
| khaotik | if you mean if my router has WEP on, no its disabled | 05:36 |
| evil_tech | khaotik: open up a terminal and ping a website other than google | 05:36 |
| pygmymath | me22975: Hmm.. | 05:36 |
| MrObvious | Hmm. I'm on 7.04 32 bit right now and I would like to get to 64 bit 7.10 but when I run the install CD it basically blacks out on the display and I don't think it's doing anything. | 05:36 |
| MrObvious | BTW this is a Dell Vostro 1700 | 05:36 |
| FactTech | Madpilot, darkkith: I appreciate the ubotu lead, but they seem to talk about getting additional codecs that aren't provided in the default install. Do you either of you know how I might make sure that all of the codecs that came by default are currently installed? | 05:37 |
| evil_tech | MrObvious: ive had that problem on my desktop when i was running an X800 | 05:37 |
| pygmymath | me22975: do alt + f2 gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:37 |
| Starnestommy | MrObvious: hit F6 at the boot menu and change "quiet splash" to "nosplash" | 05:37 |
| khaotik | is it same as i would type in DOS. forgive me i am jus learning debian | 05:37 |
| EDinNY | you probably want w32codecs | 05:37 |
| darkkith | FactTech sorry i woulndt know that much about codecs. have you tried apt-get remove && apt-get install again ? | 05:37 |
| evil_tech | khaotik: yes but you will have to tell it to stop by pressing cntrl-c | 05:37 |
| evil_tech | FactTech: try uninstalling ubuntu restricted extras and then reinstalling it again | 05:38 |
| FactTech | darkkith: I would try that, if I knew what packages to try it with. | 05:38 |
| MrObvious | Ok. Another problem I've been having is there is a boot command line thing where I have to do modprobe piix && exit, but I tried that and it died. | 05:38 |
| MrObvious | Or not died, but rather blanked out. | 05:38 |
| FactTech | evil_tech: I don't think I had those before, but I'll try it. | 05:38 |
| sanguisdex | is there a good way to convert swf movies to another format in ubuntu? | 05:38 |
| nickrud | evil_tech: that's just a metapackage, he would need to reinstall the packages that itemizes | 05:38 |
| me29975 | pygmymath: done | 05:38 |
| pygmymath | me22975: in the Section "Device" what does it say for driver? | 05:38 |
| khaotik | it says unknown host | 05:39 |
| FactTech | EDinNY: I can't seem to locate the w32codecs package with Synaptic. Do you know which repository it's in? | 05:39 |
| MrObvious | I can try the nosplash thing and see what happens. | 05:39 |
| evil_tech | nickrud: reinstalling it after removing it wouldnt reload all the packages? | 05:39 |
| me29975 | pygmymath: "nvidia" | 05:39 |
| evil_tech | its in medibuntu | 05:39 |
| EDinNY | FactTech, found it yesterday...googling | 05:39 |
| darkkith | anyone use mutt here? | 05:39 |
| nickrud | evil_tech: no, just as removing ubuntu-desktop doesn't remove gnome | 05:39 |
| FactTech | EDinNY: It's not in any repository? | 05:39 |
| pygmymath | me22975: fiddlesticks | 05:39 |
| EDinNY | It is, but I needed to add the repository I think | 05:40 |
| supersako | hey guys whats the sudo apt-get command to upgrade my sys? | 05:40 |
| pygmymath | me22975: Can't help you with that i'm afraid then.. i've got the joy of ati myself | 05:40 |
| evil_tech | FactTech: win32codecs can be found either in medibuntu or seveas though i dont know if there are seveas gutsy packages been a while insince i checked | 05:40 |
| EDinNY | I know that if you go to the mplayer page you can find a link to a tar of it, but I am looking for the repositary | 05:40 |
| FactTech | EDinNY: The thing is, this video used to work, so I don't think I need anything too special... strange. | 05:40 |
| EDinNY | medibuntu I thik | 05:40 |
| me29975 | pygmymath : been looking at forums for the last 5 days and many with the same problem and no clear fixes. thanks for the try | 05:41 |
| khaotik | its not working says unknown host | 05:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | !medibuntu | FactTech this will have what you're looking for | 05:41 |
| ubotu | FactTech this will have what you're looking for: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:41 |
| pygmymath | me22975: No problem, i know the pain. google can be a better friend than the fora though | 05:41 |
| FactTech | evil_tech, EDinNY -- I don't recall having installed anything like that before. Oh, well, I'll check them out. | 05:41 |
| darkkith | FactTech type file <the_file_name> | 05:41 |
| EDinNY | well, if you want windos codecs I think it is in medibuntu | 05:41 |
| evil_tech | www.medibuntu.org | 05:41 |
| evil_tech | cant hurt | 05:42 |
| evil_tech | its one of the first repos i add | 05:42 |
| evil_tech | brb need to restart | 05:42 |
| th0r | niuq I uninstalled proftpd and installed vsftpd and it runs out of the box. As i recall, I always used vsftpd becuase I had problems with pro | 05:42 |
| FactTech | IndyGunFreak: Thanks. But I have been trying to play by the rules. Are any of those codecs installed by default? | 05:42 |
| LeChacal | nickrud: thank you that was what i was looking for | 05:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | FactTech: not to my knowledge | 05:43 |
| jbinder | Umm.. | 05:43 |
| jbinder | I just installed Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro (nvidia geforce 8600M GT 128mb VRAM) | 05:43 |
| jbinder | I can't find any drivers for it.. | 05:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | FactTech: well, if you install the codecs, then technically, you're breaking the rules, so make your decision, medibuntu just makes it wasy to install them all. | 05:43 |
| jbinder | Where can I get drivers? Right now it's in like low graphics mode and I can' | 05:43 |
| jbinder | Can't find them on nvidia.com | 05:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | !nvidia | jbinder | 05:43 |
| ubotu | jbinder: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:43 |
| FactTech | IndyGunFreak: Right. | 05:44 |

| josiah | what does cedega actually do for you? anything that cant be done for free? | 05:59 |
| nickrud | mnemonica: yes, you have to restart. A sec, I'll compare to mine | 05:59 |
| niuq | th0r i only found that client for ipod touch | 05:59 |
| th0r | niuq there is a command line ftp by default...but I always install gftp. Had some problems with filezilla | 05:59 |

| piero | Hi! I'm trying to use a jfs filesystem as root on a luks crypt system, but the system frozen at boot. I already updated my initrd to add some modules I think are important.. but system still froozed. What can I do? | 05:59 |
| mnemonica | pygmymath: Ah... Does pressure sensitivity just not work? | 05:59 |
| niuq | th0r yeah, pretty cool eh? | 06:00 |
| FYI | evil_tech: nope.... just goes to a blank (looks like the lcd is producing black) screen | 06:00 |
| Clearzen | supersako: Yeah, but virtualization doesn't seem to be a topic that is talked about a lot. Especially this kind of thing unfortunately, the IRC wasn't any help either. | 06:00 |
| pygmymath | mnemonica: My xorg has the last but one line commented out though - the synaptics touchpad bit..? try that maybe? | 06:00 |
| th0r | niuq how you typing in ip and such? | 06:00 |
| Clearzen | supersako: I'll just have to spend some time with it I guess | 06:00 |
| evil_tech | FYI: tried safe graphics mode? | 06:00 |
| niuq | th0r this actually has an terminal | 06:00 |
| FYI | I tried booting with acpi=off and that works | 06:00 |

| niuq | th0r would be something like "ftp <ipaddress> | 06:00 |
| nickrud | mnemonica: I don't have the usb option, but otherwise it looks right | 06:00 |
| th0r | niuq jeez....wish I could do that with the nano! | 06:00 |
| niuq | th0r check out ipod touch or iphone, are pretty cool toys | 06:01 |
| Clearzen | y1: Yeah, if you don't like it then you can just reinstall over it | 06:01 |
| y1 | ok great :) | 06:01 |
| evil_tech | FYI: what are the specs on this laptop | 06:01 |
| mnemonica | nickrud: alright, think I should take that out or try to restart as is? | 06:01 |

| th0r | niuq I love my naon...I use it strictly for video...have about a dozen movies loaded on it. | 06:02 |

| th0r | (nano) | 06:02 |
| piero | Is there any tutorial or howto to use a crypt system on / or something like it? | 06:02 |

| nickrud | th0r: do you use magnifying glasses? | 06:02 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: how do i set up the nomachine server on the linux side? | 06:02 |

| Clearzen | piero: basically you have to format the drive for encryption before you install anything on it. Then mount it and install. I'll get a link for you. | 06:04 |
| reeeh2000 | hi all, just upgraded to kde4, but having problems getting the kdeartwork-theme-icon-kde4 package to install, here is terminal output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51636/ | 06:04 |

| FYI | evil_tech: I'm trying to install now | 06:06 |
| spencer | FactTech: i got it working thank you | 06:06 |
| mnemonica | nickrud: alright, going to restart in a bit. | 06:06 |
| nickrud | reeeh2000: you could force the package, but it's a bug in the packaging and you should see if it's added to bugs.ubuntu.com , see if they are recommending a workaround or have a fix in the works | 06:06 |
| pygmymath | nickrud: you have more experience heh, my wacom is built in too, not a periph | 06:06 |
| nickrud | pygmymath: lol, up to a point theory works, but device in hand is better | 06:07 |
| reeeh2000 | nickrub: actually looking at bug reports right now | 06:07 |

| evil_tech | FYI: you could always try the alternate install if you cant get the live to go | 06:07 |

| akorn | hey how do i use emerald themes in 7.10 agian? | 06:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | !ati | nugz1212 | 06:08 |
| ubotu | nugz1212: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:08 |
| y1 | (after i pressed start/install ubuntu" | 06:08 |
| darkkith | akorn: sudo aptitude install emerald | 06:08 |
| nugz1212 | i installed the resrticted drivers in the manager | 06:08 |
| arunkale | can anyone help me with wget? | 06:08 |
| FYI | evil_tech: should I be using the 64 bit version (I have an AMD 64 x2 TK-53)? | 06:08 |
| mather | Question: whats the proper "linux" terminology for say the Theme Preferences ___blank____ ... my M$ instinct is to say "Theme Preferences Window" but I dont wanna look like a n00b if theres a better way to say it.... dialog? | 06:08 |
| evil_tech | you can | 06:08 |
| akorn | haha yea i'm dumb | 06:08 |
| FYI | I have the i386 version because someone said it would be better | 06:08 |
| akorn | darkkith thanks | 06:08 |
| y1 | now it lags when i move the mouse | 06:08 |
| piero | Clearzen: Thank you very much my friend.. I'm going to give some work to me links!! | 06:08 |
| nugz1212 | ive tried that install | 06:08 |
| evil_tech | FYI: i'd stick with the i386 | 06:08 |
| nugz1212 | it doesnt work | 06:08 |
| icesword | hi,there | 06:09 |
| nugz1212 | and the properietery dont either | 06:09 |
| darkkith | akorn: you will need to install an emerald theme yourself however, think themes.beryl-project.org | 06:09 |
| nugz1212 | it was working earlier | 06:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | FYI: i don't know if its *better*, but it requires less hoop jumping... its all a matter of opinion, to me, 64bit isn't worth it just yet. | 06:09 |
| y1 | any idea what i should do? | 06:09 |
| darkkith | akorn: do that before restarting x. | 06:09 |
| arunkale | if i want to download a series of images using wget, all in one go, how do i go about it? what would the command be? the images are all numbered in sequence (1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.) | 06:09 |
| darkkith | arunkale: what do you want to wget | 06:09 |
| akorn | darkkith i thought it came with themes? | 06:09 |
| icesword | i cannot install ubuntu on my laptop! | 06:09 |
| darkkith | akorn: 7.10 did not. | 06:09 |
| akorn | darkkith okay sounds good thanks :) | 06:09 |
| lizili | when i tried to run xfce-terminal ,the xfce-desktop7.10 will restart itself ,these is a bug of xfce ? | 06:09 |
| Clearzen | piero: np, remeber in the US it is not a crime to not give your encryption key. You are protected under the 5th amendment | 06:09 |
| akorn | dakkith what's the difference between apt-get install and aptitude install? | 06:09 |
| reeeh2000 | nickrub: no luck, only one report that I see so far, and its on hardy, im on gibbon | 06:09 |
| evil_tech | icesword: why? | 06:10 |
| pygmymath | mather: system > preferences > appearances settings | 06:10 |
| icesword | probing scsi devices:_ | 06:10 |
| icesword | the system just stopped here,cannot go further? | 06:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | icesword: well thats not a very good description, why? | 06:10 |
| icesword | i use livecd | 06:10 |
| darkkith | akorn: not so much certain. i have heard that aptitude has better dependency .. management? beats me. i like aptitude because everyone at my work uses it and im just a sheep. | 06:10 |
| arunkale | darkkith: any idea? | 06:10 |
| reeeh2000 | nickrub: how do i force the package? | 06:11 |
| akorn | darkkith hahaha *baaah* i'll be a sheep too then haha | 06:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | icesword: sounds like a burn issue if you ask me.... if it just froze | 06:11 |
| pygmymath | mather: Visual themes might be what you're thinking of though | 06:11 |
| evil_tech | darkkith: how do i set up the nomachine server? | 06:11 |
| pygmymath | .. | 06:11 |
| akorn | darkkith alright thanks for the help! see you | 06:11 |
| nugz1212 | okay | 06:11 |
| nickrud | reeeh2000: then you should file the bug yourself. sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/kdeartwork-theme-icon-kde4_4%3a4.0.0-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1_all.deb will force the install, but it's a judgement call on whether you want to do that or wait for a response to your bug. I'd wait, icons arent that important | 06:11 |
| darkkith | arunkale: lets say that all of the images you want are on a single html page, like on a porn page for instance (not pointing fingers but.. for instance) | 06:11 |
| nugz1212 | so now compiz-fusion is working | 06:11 |
| nugz1212 | but its really slow | 06:11 |
| pygmymath | mnemonica: wb | 06:12 |
| icesword | not really,i installed ubuntu on my another machine,desktop successfully | 06:12 |
| darkkith | arunkale: then you do wget http://thepornserver/thepornpage.html | 06:12 |
| nugz1212 | i ran it perfectlly with the restricted drivers earlier | 06:12 |
| arunkale | darkkith: all the images are not on a single html page, and it's definitely not porn :) | 06:12 |
| nugz1212 | but all my games came up with texture errors | 06:12 |
| pygmymath | darkkith: downthemall :P | 06:12 |
| nickrud | nugz1212: welcome to the world of crappy ati linux support | 06:12 |
| reeeh2000 | nickrub: ok, ill report of course, but its more annoying than you think it would be to be missing all of my icons | 06:12 |
| Clearzen | darkkith: wget -r -p http://thepornserver/thepornpage.html/path/to/image/source | 06:12 |
| darkkith | arunkale: i lied, there are some switches to sift through and only get the images. give me a moment and i will search my por... err.. cache | 06:12 |
| arunkale | heh | 06:13 |
| nickrud | reeeh2000: nah, kde sucks with icons :p | 06:13 |
| nugz1212 | nickrud: ive run this fine before | 06:13 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: you downloaded the three .deb's right ? | 06:13 |
| pygmymath | nickrud: i got compiz running in gutsy onati ;) | 06:13 |
| elbermungsterses | hey guys, i have a slight problem with my C compiler. can you help? | 06:13 |
| Clearzen | darkkith: wget cannot follow java links though :( | 06:13 |
| nugz1212 | okay how do i remove all ati drivers from my computer? | 06:13 |
| evil_tech | downloaded and installed in the proper order according to the instruactions on the site | 06:13 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: dpkg -i nxclient*deb && dpkg -i nxnode*deb && dpkg -i nxserver*deb | 06:13 |
| darkkith | ok | 06:13 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: from your windows box install the nxclient for windows | 06:14 |
| icesword | IndyGunFreak, so what does that"probing scsi devices"- and then froze, mean? | 06:14 |
| icesword | usually? | 06:14 |
| nickrud | pygmymath: so did I, but it wasn't worth the effort | 06:14 |
| evil_tech | did that | 06:14 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: same site, then.. launch it.. and connect, as you would with RDP/mstc | 06:14 |
| reeeh2000 | nickrub: hehe, say how do i get new widgets, the button is blanked out, or have you not messed with them yet? | 06:14 |
| pygmymath | nugz1212: what you trying to achieve | 06:14 |
| mather | I guess a better way to put it is : Is it proper to say "move the Settings _window_ to the bottom" or is there better terminology.. or terminology more common to linux... such as Settings dialog, or Settings box | 06:14 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: the default wm is KDE however, if it is not setting up the connection then maybe that is the problem (if you have only GNOME) | 06:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | icesword: who knows.. its either not detecting your scsi device properly(unlikely, as it would kick out an error, at least it has for me).. i'd suspect something else. | 06:14 |
| nickrud | !ask elbermungsterses | 06:15 |
| pygmymath | nickrud: sudo apt-get install xgl- tab tab tab tab enter logout login?:P | 06:15 |
| hoodz | will ubuntu work on a sony srx99? | 06:15 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: also, freenx/nomachine relies on SSH auth | 06:15 |
| nugz1212 | pygmymath: im trying to get my ATi radeon x1300 to work like it was before with compiz-fusion | 06:15 |
| darkkith | back to the guy with wget | 06:15 |
| darkkith | who was that | 06:15 |
| nugz1212 | its running slow | 06:15 |
| nickrud | pygmymath: yeah, but no suspend with that. I got the latest from ati, got suspend, but the aiglx is sssslllllooowww | 06:15 |

| nugz1212 | it said i could run the regular session | 06:17 |
| === isr_ is now known as isr | ||
| pygmymath | nickrud: used adf/removes drivers & xgl, et voila | 06:17 |
| nickrud | pygmymath: never checked the fps, just wanted to mess with compiz. But suspend is critical, so I'm using the regular desktop | 06:17 |
| arunkale | darkkith: would you mind explaining that? | 06:17 |
| nickrud | pygmymath: not a desktop, a laptop. Gotta have suspend :) | 06:18 |
| pygmymath | nickrud: hibernate for me, and fair play | 06:18 |
| === lizili is now known as jhon | ||
| darkkith | man will do a better explaining it however, the -A is the filetype limiter, -l i believe is limited the depth -nd is saying don't create a local directory strucutre, -P .. beats me, consult man, and -r .. again.. not really sure sorry | 06:18 |

| pygmymath | brb | 06:19 |
| darkkith | arunkale: you don't. you simply put the path to the directory, or page, and it will sift through it all and pull it in. | 06:19 |
| nickrud | pygmymath: heh. anyone that uses that weak little crappy wm is crazy, anyway. If it doesn't take at least a gig to run, it's not hefty enough for me. | 06:19 |
| arunkale | darkkith: nice | 06:19 |
| darkkith | arunkale: you might be able to do like wget -blah -blah http://porn/is/hot/???.jpg | 06:19 |
| arunkale | thanks a lot man | 06:20 |

| NullName | luchador: Try and find the windows drivers of your card | 06:29 |

| nickrud | mnemonica: did you see the line above, I mis-nicked it | 06:29 |
| luchador | with the windows drivers | 06:29 |
| y1 | i've just gone back to gui by ctrl-alt-f7, now i see a black screen and a mouse...any ideas? (i can move the mouse) | 06:30 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: umm.. are you logging into it from an rdesktop session through your win box | 06:30 |
| lgc | gyro, are you on a wireless link? | 06:30 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: that would be kind of neat | 06:30 |
| darkkith | evil_tech: but a bit latent | 06:30 |
| Clearzen | y1: ctrl+alt f1 then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 06:30 |
| Goupil418 | I need some one comfortable with Bytes and Hertz, anyone here? | 06:30 |

| y1 | (this ubuntu cd has worked on other computers though) | 06:31 |
| Clearzen | y1: try f2?? | 06:31 |
| lgc | nickrud, "tag" als in "guten Tag"? | 06:31 |
| y1 | Clearzen: nothing happens | 06:32 |
| y1 | maybe it's because the cd is dusty now? | 06:32 |
| nickrud | lgc: no tag as in the game, you get to keep running around till you can tag someone else :) | 06:32 |
| FYI | kein Deutsch hier >: ) | 06:32 |
| darkkith | well it hink its time to sleep gnite folks | 06:32 |
| FYI | good night | 06:33 |
| evil_tech | night | 06:33 |
| Goupil418 | g'night fyi | 06:33 |
| Clearzen | y1: other than a restart I would say try to ssh in. But I don't think ssh server is installed by default. (I'm assuming you don't have a terminal of any kind) | 06:33 |
| lgc | nickrud, sorry I don't know the game...:( (but, see, there's always plenty of censors!) | 06:33 |
| Goupil418 | ok let's say I want to do a new program and I don't know how anyone can help me? | 06:33 |
| y1 | rebooting now (i didn't have any console at all) | 06:34 |
| lgc | nickrud, you mean the game where the others hide and you get to find one and touch them so they have to do the search again? | 06:34 |
| nickrud | lgc: pretty much, yes | 06:35 |
| FYI | Goupil: how do you mean a new program? as in create one? | 06:35 |
| === suehtnilaP is now known as Palintheus | ||
| * nickrud goes off to hide, now that the rules are clear | 06:35 | |
| Clearzen | lol | 06:35 |
| lgc | nickrud, then I think I know it (in a Mexican variant, I figure). | 06:35 |
| * FYI finds nickrud hiding between a heap of old windows ME pc's | 06:35 | |
| Goupil418 | FYI, yes! | 06:36 |
| FYI | Goupil: you would need to learn a programming language | 06:36 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, I want to make a new program... something no ones has never tried | 06:36 |
| lgc | nickrud, see? You got tagged by FYI-censor. | 06:36 |
| gyro | lgc: No a normal wired network with 4 computers | 06:36 |
| y1 | i'm back on the pinkish screen now | 06:37 |
| y1 | what should i do? (just played the startup music) | 06:37 |
| lgc | gyro, you talking about the tag game? | 06:37 |
| nalpha | anyone try ncomputing with ubuntu 7.10? | 06:37 |
| lgc | gyro, (joke). | 06:37 |
| FYI | Goupil, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_language | 06:37 |
| Clearzen | y1: what kind of video card do you have? | 06:37 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, Is there a place in any language that can tell my computer how I want him to work with hertz? | 06:37 |
| ianm1 | hm is the ubuntu-supplied ffmpeg without mp3 support? | 06:37 |
| y1 | Clearzen: no idea at the moment | 06:37 |
| FYI | Goupil: hertz the car renters? | 06:38 |
| Clearzen | Goupil418: you aren't serious are you? | 06:38 |
| Goupil418 | clearzen yep | 06:38 |
| Clearzen | Goupil418: give up now | 06:38 |
| FYI | Haha! | 06:38 |
| loudnlownoma | Hello all! | 06:38 |
| Goupil418 | Clearzen, I think I've found a way man | 06:38 |
| y1 | Clearzen: so now what? | 06:38 |
| lgc | gyro, I suppose you checked for the obvious things, like the cable being connected and stuff. | 06:38 |
| FYI | Goupil: you could always hire someone like me to do it for you :) | 06:38 |
| Clearzen | Goupil418: with uber leet hacker skills right | 06:38 |
| techgeek40 | Okay I did the install of the openchrome | 06:39 |
| Goupil418 | Clearzen, yeah kinda but this shit is way over my skills | 06:39 |
| techgeek40 | But I can't enable the advanced desktop options | 06:39 |
| loudnlownoma | Just a quick question for the gurus tonight.... When copying an install/live cd - Can I make a direct copy of the disc I have already, or do I need to rip it to ISO, then re-burn the image? | 06:39 |
| Clearzen | techgeek40: do you mean compiz? | 06:39 |
| sanguisdex | is there a way I can have a mac ox like dock? | 06:39 |
| techgeek40 | Yeah, I'd like to use that - I have it on my Dell laptop and I like the effects | 06:39 |
| evil_tech | i have returned | 06:40 |
| Clearzen | sanguisdex: yeah, I hear avant is good | 06:40 |
| Clearzen | sanguisdex: for a dock | 06:40 |
| techgeek40 | sanguisdex: avant? | 06:40 |
| Goupil418 | Clearzen, I'm good in theses kinds of things normally but now playing with all those bases data is way over my skills, | 06:40 |
| supersako | hey guys i got vim but for some reason it doesnt highlight code like html tags, etc | 06:40 |
| supersako | gvim* | 06:40 |
| sanguisdex | I will take look | 06:40 |
| lgc | supersako, :sy on | 06:41 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, so you'd be able to tell your computer how hertz system works? | 06:41 |
| supersako | thanks lgc | 06:41 |
| supersako | also, i cant seem to find it in my accesories tab | 06:41 |
| FYI | GOupil: what kind of hertz? | 06:41 |
| supersako | can i manually add it? | 06:41 |
| techgeek40 | Even when I try to turn on the Visual Effects - I get the error that it can't be enabled :< | 06:41 |
| y1 | Clearzen: ? | 06:41 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, You know in computers, there's GHz and MHz and everything | 06:42 |
| lgc | supersako, did it work? Otherwise you can fumble with the drop-down menus on gvim. | 06:42 |
| Clearzen | y1: sorry, what kind of video card do you have? | 06:42 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, I run on a 2.0 GHz | 06:42 |
| FYI | why would you want to tell your computer how they work | 06:42 |
| FYI | do you mean the user? | 06:42 |
| JerseyMonkey721 | techgeek40, what graphics card? | 06:42 |
| techgeek40 | Just tried normal and got that it couldn't be enabled :< | 06:42 |
| Goupil418 | because they're not using hertz correctly | 06:42 |
| y1 | Clearzen: i don't know | 06:43 |
| Patogen | Will I need to 'do' anything except the physical installation of more memory? I saw that I could buy 2GB of more ram for a couple of dollars so I thought of doing it ... | 06:43 |
| IcemanV9 | techgeek40: type glxinfo | grep direct in the terminal; tell me what it said ... yes or no | 06:43 |
| y1 | Clearzen: i just went into console, did pwd, worked fine, then i tried ls, and now it's lagging | 06:43 |
| loudnlownoma | When copying an install/live cd - Can I make a direct copy of the disc I have already, or do I need to rip it to ISO, then re-burn the image? | 06:43 |
| Clearzen | y1: k, drop to a terminal with ctrl+alt f1 | 06:43 |
| Clearzen | then lspci -v and post the output to pastebin | 06:43 |
| JerseyMonkey721 | Question: How do I install NVIDIA graphics drivers in Recovery Console? I found this url, but I am unsure how to download that '.run' through Recovery Console, 'WGET' doesn't seem to work. http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html | 06:44 |
| vwfanatic | I'd like to enable, or configure the extra buttons on my mouse. Can someone point me in the right direction? | 06:44 |
| y1 | this is weird | 06:44 |
| techgeek40 | Iceman: glxinfo | grep | 06:44 |
| y1 | i did ls, now i don't see the ubuntu@ubuntu: thing | 06:44 |
| techgeek40 | Woops | 06:44 |
| y1 | but i can still type | 06:44 |
| techgeek40 | direct rendering: No | 06:44 |
| y1 | ah ok, done | 06:44 |
| y1 | laaag | 06:44 |
| Clearzen | y1: if you can. If you can't you may be able to find the line with the graphics card listed | 06:44 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, you see, computers are now in GHz, but we can tell a computer how many hertz a GHz is equal to | 06:45 |
| Clearzen | y1: I just need to know the manufacturer/chipset | 06:45 |
| y1 | why is this console so laggy? | 06:45 |
| IcemanV9 | techgeek40: that's why you got these error messages "it cannot be enabled" | 06:45 |
| supersako | am i getting the right package for gvim? | 06:45 |
| supersako | i did sudo apt-get gvim-gnome | 06:45 |
| techgeek40 | Clearzen: I have the Chrome9 HC 3D / 2D graphics card (HCIGPWDDM) | 06:45 |
| Patogen | If I install more ram I don't need to do anything in ubuntu to make it work right? | 06:45 |
| supersako | for some reason it didnt add the program to my applications menu bar | 06:45 |
| Clearzen | y1: not sure. Could be several reasons | 06:45 |
| Patogen | 2GB -> 4GB on x64 | 06:45 |
| techgeek40 | Iceman: Is there a way to get it working? | 06:46 |
| Clearzen | techgeek40: It may not be compatible with compiz | 06:46 |
| y1 | such as? | 06:46 |
| FYI | http://online.unitconverterpro.com/unit-conversion/convert-alpha/frequency-wavelength.html | 06:46 |
| JerseyMonkey | Question: How do I install NVIDIA graphic drivers through Recovery Console? | 06:46 |
| Clearzen | y1: lack of system resources aka RAM | 06:46 |
| goldsniper | hi and hello all | 06:46 |
| vwfanatic | Patogen - you shouldn't, it'll detect | 06:46 |
| Patogen | vwfanatic: Sounds good :) | 06:46 |
| Clearzen | y1: that would be my first guess | 06:47 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, there we go ^_^ | 06:47 |
| goldsniper | how can i open a website which does not want firefox | 06:47 |
| vwfanatic | At least mine did when I upgraded from 512 to 1gig | 06:47 |
| goldsniper | the website only wants ie??? | 06:47 |
| techgeek40 | Clearzen: someone in here said something about avant? is that like compiz or ??? | 06:47 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, 1Ghz is equal to 1000000000Hz | 06:47 |
| IcemanV9 | techgeek40: i have no idea about Chrome9 video card; you might want to search the ubuntuforums.org to see if there is a thread on that specific card | 06:47 |
| techgeek40 | Or is there a way to enable direct render? | 06:48 |
| Goupil418 | 1Hz is a frequency | 06:48 |
| Clearzen | techgeek40: No, avant is a dock. It's similar to the OSX dock for example | 06:48 |
| goldsniper | any ideas? | 06:48 |
| y1 | Clearzen: i have 240mb ram | 06:48 |
| techgeek40 | Ahh okay - thanks | 06:48 |
| techgeek40 | let me try the formums | 06:48 |
| loudnlownoma | When copying an install/live cd - Can I make a direct copy of the disc I have already, or do I need to rip it to ISO, then re-burn the image? | 06:48 |
| lgc | supersako, probably yes. | 06:48 |
| Clearzen | y1: that would be the problem then. The livecd runs off ram exclusively. 258 is not a lot of memory for that kind of thing | 06:49 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, So computers have like 21000000000 | 06:49 |
| goldsniper | i need to open an 'only ie permitted website'... how to do with firefox? | 06:49 |
| y1 | so what should i do? | 06:49 |
| Goupil418 | FYI 2000000000 frequencies I meant | 06:49 |
| kab | has anyone installed ubuntu on a system remotely? | 06:50 |
| lgc | goldsniper, throw away Firefox and install Opera. And use the emulation mode. | 06:50 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, Imagine, 2000000000 frequencies... | 06:50 |
| y1 | can i install ubuntu from the live cd some other way? | 06:50 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: apparently only the openchrome driver supports hardware 3d, but it doesn't have the stuff for compiz built in. See the package description for xserver-xorg-driver-openchrome , it also has a link to openchrome.org with more info | 06:50 |
| JerseyMonkey | Question: Ubuntu displays a blank screen when I attempt to boot after a 'text based' install. How do I get my Ubuntu to display the desktop with my nvidia 7800 GT? | 06:50 |
| goldsniper | lgc...you mean opera can open those ie site? | 06:51 |
| evil_tech | y1: you could try the alternate install | 06:51 |
| evil_tech | its text based | 06:51 |
| Goupil418 | FYI, that's a shitload of frequencies we could use to our own advantage | 06:51 |
| y1 | how? | 06:51 |
| y1 | install with driver update cd? | 06:51 |
| ryantmer | Goupil418, they do not actually work at 3 billion hertz or what have you | 06:51 |
| ryantmer | Usually run around a few million | 06:52 |
| ryantmer | And have a multiplier | 06:52 |
| gyro | lgc: Yes I have changed the Ubuntu computer to my laptop on the same cable and works fine under windows | 06:52 |
| ryantmer | I'm sketchy on the details, but that | 06:52 |
| Goupil418 | ryantmer you mean the computers? | 06:52 |
| lgc | goldsniper, most of the times yes. Although some sites are sort of problematic. You can tailor Opera to identify or to mask as IE. | 06:52 |
| ryantmer | s as much as I can remember | 06:52 |
| ryantmer | Goupil418, yes | 06:52 |
| JerseyMonkey | Can someone help troubleshoot my video card? | 06:52 |
| Clearzen | y1: find out what kind of video card you have | 06:52 |
| Clearzen | y1: then I could help you | 06:52 |
| Goupil418 | ryantmer, yes but who would run more than a million program on his computer? | 06:52 |
| ryantmer | Goupil418, me :) | 06:53 |
| ryantmer | jk | 06:53 |
| Goupil418 | ryantmer, you know where I'm going? :P | 06:53 |
| y1 | Clearzen: how do i find out?> | 06:53 |
| kab | has anyone installed ubuntu on a system remotely? | 06:53 |
| netham45 | Goupil418, who'd have the money to afford a system that could run 1 million programs? (hi ryantmer) | 06:53 |
| Clearzen | y1: it should be outputted with lspci | grep video | 06:53 |
| ryantmer | Oh hay netham45 | 06:53 |
| y1 | ... | 06:53 |
| Clearzen | y1: try that | 06:53 |
| ryantmer | netham45, IBM does :) | 06:53 |
| netham45 | LOL | 06:53 |
| netham45 | caps... | 06:53 |
| supersako | how can i manually add a program to my applications menu? | 06:53 |
| lgc | gyro, you mean that you connected your windows laptop to the cable of your ubuntu machine and it works fine? | 06:53 |
| Goupil418 | netham45 if you'd make your computer understand that he's running on a few millions of frequencies you wouldn't have to pay a bucks | 06:53 |
| Clearzen | y1: lspci will list your video hardware | 06:54 |
| netham45 | Clearzen, I think lspci | grep VGA is the proper command. | 06:54 |
| vwfanatic | lspci displays alot of stuff, convenient | 06:54 |
| FYI | I just downloaded the text installer, and burned it to a dvd and it's the live cd | 06:54 |
| FYI | son of a bitch | 06:54 |
| Clearzen | Goupil418: Are you on acid, or have you been hit in the head to much? | 06:54 |
| y1 | what is this alternate install? | 06:54 |
| evil_tech | its a text based installer | 06:54 |
| Clearzen | netham45: you're right thanks | 06:55 |
| FYI | y1: it's text-based | 06:55 |
| Goupil418 | clearzen, that's what they said with Einstein too... | 06:55 |
| lgc | FYI Kein Deutsch hier! (hee-hee!) | 06:55 |
| y1 | how do i get it? | 06:55 |
| vwfanatic | All the DVD"s are Live -- you're best best, should you have an internal NIC would be to run the MINI.ISO | 06:55 |
| Sophieee | hey, i'm having a issue with 7.10 | 06:55 |
| Clearzen | Goupil418: No they said einstein was retarded | 06:55 |
| vwfanatic | I burn't mine to a CDRW and installed that way | 06:55 |
| FYI | any idea why the MIT mirror gave me the regular live cd when I clearly checked the alternate cd checkbox? | 06:55 |
| Goupil418 | clearzen, Look on www.wikipedia.com 2ghz is equal to 2000000000hz | 06:55 |
| Flannel | FYI: are you sure its the -desktop iso? | 06:56 |
| JerseyMonkey | Question: How would I download this file through terminal? 'http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.07/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run' | 06:56 |
| y1 | Clearzen: i am i385 | 06:56 |
| Sophieee | So, I'm trying to install on a 266mhz MMX, from a 7.10 disk, but it freezes up after i hit "start ubuntu" and the little bar thing flys around for a while | 06:56 |
| Sophieee | whats going on? | 06:56 |
| Goupil418 | clearzen, if you can tell your computer that hertz are frequencies and that you could put a program on each frequency... shit you'd have the best pc in the world | 06:56 |
| Sophieee | is the system too slow? | 06:56 |
| NullName | nickrud: if explore2fs is read-only, does that mean there is NO way to write to ext3 from windows? Not even with cygwin? | 06:57 |
| evil_tech | JerseyMonkey: wget thefilesurl | 06:57 |
| Flannel | Goupil418: please go to #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss it further, this isn't the place. Thanks | 06:57 |
| Starnestommy | JerseyMonkey: wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.07/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run ? | 06:57 |
| JerseyMonkey | Starnestommy, I attempted that, and it kept saying "Name or service unknown' and it seems like I spelt everything right. | 06:57 |
| IcemanV9 | Sophieee: it would be better to use alternative cd instead of livecd to install ubuntu | 06:57 |
| FYI | Flannel: looks the same; same options, has start in safe graphics mode, loading progress bar still appears etc. | 06:57 |
| nickrud | NullName: with the http://www.fs-driver.org/ driver you have write ability in xp | 06:57 |
| FYI | freezes the same | 06:58 |
| n2diy | Sophieee: Try your boot options, like nodma etc, through the Fx options | 06:58 |
| Goupil418 | Flannel, eh I thought we we're a community? and that if we would find something to make ubuntu better we should talk about it? | 06:58 |
| JerseyMonkey | Starnestommy, I'm just going to install ssh-server and SCP the file over. Should hopefully work through recovery console. | 06:58 |
| Flannel | FYI: Whats the file name? | 06:58 |
| nickrud | NullName: but that has to be installed on the computer | 06:58 |
| evil_tech | FYI: the alternate installer should not have a start in safe graphics mode | 06:58 |
| Flannel | Goupil418: This channel is for ubuntu support only. #ubuntu-offtopic is for general chatter, even ubuntu related chatter | 06:58 |
| NullName | nickrud: installing shouldn't be a problem | 06:58 |
| evil_tech | should say install in text mode, oem install (for manufacturers) | 06:58 |
| Goupil418 | Flannel, and you are? | 06:59 |
| nickrud | Flannel: is a god :) | 06:59 |
| NullName | nickrud: Does it make more sense to format to NTFS? What are the limitations of using NTFS with linux? | 06:59 |
| JerseyMonkey | evil_tech, I don't think Ubuntu's 'click for Alternate' is working. I attempted it on a few mirrors, and ended up getting Desktop copy. | 06:59 |
| FYI | Flannel, evil_tech: the one served by the mit server (sans -desktop in filename) has the start or install in safe graphics mode | 06:59 |
| FYI | JerseyMonkey: same here | 06:59 |
| nickrud | NullName: permissions, but for general data storage it doesn't matter | 06:59 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: try it in #ubuntu-marketing | 06:59 |
| evil_tech | i dont like the new download set up | 06:59 |
| nalpha | Anyone success installing nCOmputing on ubuntu 7.10? Can give me the guide :D hehe | 06:59 |
| techgeek40 | Okay I found some open source scripts for the video driver here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=485646&highlight=P4M900 | 06:59 |
| NullName | nickrud: If I format to ext3, will I be able to unplug the drive and not have an error? | 06:59 |
| Madpilot | JerseyMonkey, go straight to releases.ubuntu.com | 07:00 |
| Goupil418 | n2diy: I don't want to make money out of what I'm saying | 07:00 |
| nickrud | NullName: not without unmounting. That's a truth with all usb storage devices | 07:00 |
| techgeek40 | I'm going to be stupid here (like that is new) they are named openchrome-stable.sh - how would I run those? | 07:00 |
| lgc | NullName, no. | 07:00 |
| Flannel | FYI: no -desktop? interesting. no -alternate either? Thats odd indeed. File a bug against the website (the ubuntu one) if it gave you the wrong one. Someone'll take a look at it. | 07:00 |
| JerseyMonkey | Madpilot, I got alternate now, I am just giving him the heads up that people are getting misdirected. | 07:00 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: openchrome drivers come with ubuntu, don't use that | 07:00 |
| JerseyMonkey | Madpilot, Thankyou though. | 07:00 |
| NullName | nickrudL How lame is that? Shoot I just formated the drive to ext3... I think I'm going to format to NTFS. IS gaprted the correct tool? | 07:00 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: its not about making money, it is about promoting Ubuntu, if you can make money doing, who cares? | 07:01 |
| j2daosh | anyone know how to make the file NTUSER.DAT on a windows partition writeable? | 07:01 |
| supersako | hey guys how do i add a shortcut to applications in 7.10? i installed gvim but theres no shortcut in my apps | 07:01 |
| techgeek40 | Nickrud: from what I read this resolves the direct render issue | 07:01 |
| Goupil418 | n2diy, lol | 07:01 |
| gyro | lgc: Yes that was after I had checked the entire system and replaced the network card | 07:01 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-driver-openchrome | 07:01 |
| Goupil418 | n2diy well I guess it's not that bad after all | 07:01 |
| NullName | nickrud: Sorry misspelled your SN in last message. How lame is that? Shoot I just formated the drive to ext3... I think I'm going to format to NTFS. IS gparted the correct tool? | 07:01 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: erm, sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome that is | 07:01 |
| lgc | gyro and you are going out via eth0 still? | 07:02 |
| JerseyMonkey | Question: I'm in recovery console, and just realized my ethernet card isn't enable. How do I enable such for recovery console? | 07:02 |
| IcemanV9 | techgeek40: follow nickrud's comment | 07:02 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: but it still won't give you compiz, | 07:02 |
| j2daosh | i have used a live linux cd to boot the system in question, I have mounted the drive, according to the filesystem tools under kubuntu, its mounted as writeable, but when i try to remove the file from the console it tells me its a read only filesystem... why? | 07:02 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: Nope, making money is ok. | 07:02 |
| FYI | AYye, reporting it now | 07:02 |
| Flannel | FYI: thanks a bunch | 07:02 |
| NullName | j2daoshL have you checked your BIOS? | 07:02 |
| NullName | j2daosh: Sounds like your boot order for your BIOS needs to give more permission to your Harddrive | 07:03 |
| Goupil418 | n2diy, I wonder how many programmers will need to be on that thing | 07:03 |
| j2daosh | what could possibly be in the bios that wouldn't allow me to write to the bios? | 07:03 |
| IndianGrl | can someone please let me know how to install a modem .. i have a modem attached but ubuntu doesn't see it? | 07:03 |
| NullName | j2daosh? A bios password? | 07:03 |
| Sophieee | when the file is noted as "desktop" is that the live cd version? | 07:03 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: What thing?? | 07:03 |
| j2daosh | nope | 07:03 |
| Flannel | Sophieee: yes | 07:03 |
| j2daosh | i can get into the bios | 07:03 |
| NullName | what happens when you try? | 07:03 |
| Goupil418 | n2diy, My program I'm currently designing | 07:03 |
| Sophieee | ... what the heck. thats what i DON'T want | 07:03 |
| JerseyMonkey | How do I tell 'ifconfig eth0' to get an ip from DHCP? | 07:04 |
| j2daosh | nothing, it loads the bios like one would expect | 07:04 |
| evil_tech | dhclient eth0 | 07:04 |
| Flannel | Goupil418, n2diy, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, this channel is for Ubuntu support only. | 07:04 |
| Flannel | Sophieee: you want the -alternate then | 07:04 |
| NullName | j2daosh: I would try flashing your bios...update it with the newest driver from your BIOS manufactuer. | 07:04 |
| kaushal | hi | 07:04 |
| kaushal | whats the name of the process called when the Client request for IP Address from the DHCP Server | 07:04 |
| j2daosh | can't, not my system. its actually the sys admin's box | 07:04 |
| NullName | j2daosh: REad about flashing your BIOS | 07:04 |
| evil_tech | NullName: i dont see how bios would be affecting read/write permissions | 07:04 |
| FYI | there's clearly something wrong with choosing MIT from the select element | 07:04 |
| FYI | on the download page | 07:05 |
| zouzou | hi guys | 07:05 |
| NullName | evil_tech: I thought he was having problems making changes in the BIOS | 07:05 |
| j2daosh | evil_tech: it shouldn't | 07:05 |
| n2diy | Flannel: I'm asking questions, how do I know what channel to take something to, unless I know what we're talking about? | 07:05 |
| IcemanV9 | kaushal: dhclient ? | 07:05 |
| j2daosh | no null, im having problems with the read/write of the harddrive | 07:05 |
| lgc | !modem | 07:05 |
| ubotu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto | 07:05 |
| evil_tech | no he is having problems writing to an NTFS drive to which he supposedly has full access to | 07:05 |
| lgc | !modem > IndianGrl, | 07:05 |
| zouzou | got a prob with internet connection, it works totally fine in windows, but extremely slow in linux boxes, any ideas on what that could be? | 07:05 |
| NullName | j2daosh: HAve your tried messing with gparted off your live disk? | 07:05 |
| y1 | can i access the ubuntu alternate install from the ubuntu live cd? | 07:06 |
| evil_tech | does mount say that it is read/write? | 07:06 |
| j2daosh | its a ntfs filesystem, i mount it while running the live cd, make it writeable, but trying to delete files results in a "read only filesystem" error | 07:06 |
| NullName | j2daoshL Can you mount? | 07:06 |
| kaushal | IcemanV9: is it dhclient | 07:06 |
| evil_tech | y1:no | 07:06 |
| j2daosh | yes NullName | 07:06 |
| kunzy | Got a question, i installed the KDE desktop and have decided to use the GNOME one instead. Is there a way to delete the KDE desktop so it will quit refering to itself as kubuntu? | 07:06 |
| evil_tech | kunzy:sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop? | 07:06 |
| bluefoxx | what do i type into a terminal if i want to kill all X processes and apps, logout a user and force the system into terminal mode, with out booting recovery mode? | 07:07 |
| j2daosh | evil_tech: that will result in the loss of serveral dependencies | 07:07 |
| NullName | j2daosh: Could you post the results of "df -Th" from your terminal, onto the site http://www.pastebin.com and give us the URL? | 07:07 |
| Flannel | kunzy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 07:07 |
| kunzy | evil_tech, k i'lltry that just a sec | 07:07 |
| j2daosh | kunzy, hers what you do | 07:07 |
| evil_tech | wait! | 07:07 |
| bluefoxx | i want to convert some vids and i find they come in better with no other process running | 07:07 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop && logout | 07:07 |
| zouzou | got a prob with internet connection, it works totally fine in windows, but extremely slow in linux boxes, any ideas on what that could be? | 07:07 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: ty | 07:07 |
| n2diy | bluefoxx check them man pages for "init" | 07:07 |
| IcemanV9 | kaushal: is that what you're looking for? if not, then what are you trying to do?? | 07:07 |
| lgc | j2daosh, in order to write to NTFS you need ntfs-3g, and in order to delete a file you need write permissions, according to Unix canons. | 07:07 |
| evil_tech | listen to j2daosh first | 07:07 |
| j2daosh | kunzy, you still here? | 07:07 |
| harking_ | anyone have experience mapping hard drives to /dev entries using udev? | 07:07 |
| kunzy | yes | 07:07 |
| j2daosh | ok | 07:08 |
| j2daosh | to change the look of your system | 07:08 |
| kunzy | sorry, not use to fast moving channels | 07:08 |
| bullgard4 | Synaptic says that the DEB program package 'gnome system tools' comprises "Cross-platform configuration utilities for GNOME." The word 'cross' means that several platforms are involved. What kind of platforms are meant here? | 07:08 |
| NullName | j2daosh: I thought that 7.10 lets your write to NTFS...I was with no problems | 07:08 |
| j2daosh | log out, then change your session to gnome | 07:08 |
| supersako | how do i add a shortcut to the applications -> accessories menu???? | 07:08 |
| j2daosh | set that as default, and then your done | 07:08 |
| NullName | j2daosh: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 07:08 |
| kunzy | hmm, thats what i have been doing but it still refers to itself as kubuntu | 07:08 |
| j2daosh | i believe it is the fiesty fawn edition | 07:08 |
| nickrud | bullgard4: bsd, solaris, linux, platforms of that type | 07:08 |
| sp0ro | Is there anyway to take certain programs off the automatic update list? ie; compiz(I don't use it and have no plans to) | 07:08 |
| j2daosh | when you say "refers" what do you mean? | 07:09 |
| zouzou | got a prob with internet connection, it works totally fine in windows, but extremely slow in linux boxes, any ideas on what that could be? | 07:09 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Thank you for commenting. | 07:09 |
| nickrud | bullgard4: also redhat, ubuntu, suse, whomever writes backends that the gnome system tools frontend can use | 07:09 |
| NullName | j2daosh. I would upgrade to 7.10. I'm pretty sure it will work then. | 07:09 |
| kunzy | as in the boot up screen says kubuntu and when i open FF, it loads to a kubuntu page | 07:09 |
| sp0ro | zouzou: Wireless or wired? | 07:09 |
| Goupil418 | Flannel, I'm sorry to tell you that but you don't look really intelligent over here maybe you're just distracted and can't read what I'm talking about with n2diy because you're too much tired of being on your computer or anything else(drugs,etc?) but if you'd look correctly over thing we're currently talking on(IRC) you'd see that I'm not stealing any messages of anyone and I don't tell them either to look at what I'm writtin | 07:09 |
| Goupil418 | g if someone sees what I'm writting and find it interesting then they can reply sorry but this is a free world where no ones has to be distracted by retards who want's to show off there skills in programming (you) while some other's working and need some answers to their questions (me) | 07:09 |
| NullName | Its good to upgrade anyway | 07:09 |
| luchador | NullName | 07:10 |
| luchador | got it working | 07:10 |
| j2daosh | so before you log in you choose the Gnome session, and it still logs in with kubuntu? | 07:10 |
| luchador | cactaur walked me through it | 07:10 |
| luchador | was simple | 07:10 |
| NullName | luchador: You got the linksys working?>??! | 07:10 |
| luchador | didnt need ndiswrappers or anything | 07:10 |
| NullName | really???? | 07:10 |
| zouzou | wire sp0ro | 07:10 |
| NullName | how did you get it luchador? | 07:10 |
| kunzy | yea, but it loads the GNOME desktop | 07:10 |
| luchador | #ubuntu-youth | 07:10 |
| luchador | cactaur showed me | 07:10 |
| luchador | http://www.stoltenow.com/archives/2006/12/ubuntu_configur.html | 07:10 |
| Goupil418 | so where we we're at n2diy | 07:10 |
| j2daosh | and you did a 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'? | 07:10 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: Maybe you could be tired too? Flannel is an op here. | 07:10 |
| luchador | just do it in terminal | 07:10 |
| zouzou | sp0ro , actually both! | 07:10 |
| lousygarua | is there a way to `svn update` but only for small files (ignoring images/binaries for example) | 07:10 |
| NullName | do you know the process luchador? | 07:10 |
| kunzy | hold on, i think sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop is working for me | 07:10 |
| lgc | j2daosh, did you read my message to you? | 07:10 |
| luchador | yeah its all on that link | 07:11 |
| NullName | thannks | 07:11 |
| j2daosh | lgc, what message? im sorry i missed it | 07:11 |
| lgc | j2daosh, in order to write to NTFS you need ntfs-3g, and in order to delete a file you need write permissions, according to Unix canons. | 07:11 |
| NullName | luchador: Are you getting WEP or WPA encrytion? | 07:11 |
| bluefoxx | ok, tried that command | 07:11 |
| luchador | yes | 07:11 |
| bluefoxx | didnt work | 07:11 |
| luchador | wep key is working | 07:11 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: and you did a 'apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'? can you expand on that a little, im still abit noobish | 07:11 |
| j2daosh | doesn't fiesty use ntfs-3g by default? | 07:11 |
| Goupil418 | n2diy if he/she's a good person and know what I'm talking about he'll let us discuss about anything we want we're still talking about ubuntu, programming is a part of ubuntu | 07:11 |
| NullName | luchador: That's awesome. I can't get mine to work with ndiswrapper | 07:11 |
| bluefoxx | killed apps but didnt give me a login shell | 07:11 |
| luchador | goto #ubuntu-youth | 07:11 |
| j2daosh | kunzy, when you installed ubuntu, was it the kubuntu version or ubuntu version? | 07:12 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: What language are you programming in? They may have a channel that would give you help? | 07:12 |
| Goupil418 | Flannel: We can take it private if you want Flannel maybe you'd be interested in what I'm talking about | 07:12 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: Ubuntu, KDE came second | 07:12 |
| Madpilot | Goupil418, insulting people is a really good way to get ignored. Be polite. | 07:12 |
| lgc | j2daosh, on the live CD? I doubt it, but I might be wrong. | 07:12 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: i think i got it | 07:12 |
| sp0ro | zouzou: So you're having problems with connection speeds on both a wireless connection and a wired connection on 2 separate computers? | 07:12 |
| j2daosh | lgc, ok, ill have to check | 07:12 |
| bluefoxx | had to REISUB, was left with a black screen and a blinking _ on the top left of my screen | 07:12 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: i will try and report back | 07:12 |
| kunzy | thanks | 07:12 |
| nickrud | Goupil418: this is a support channel. Either provide support, ask for support, or take your conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic, that's where programming ubuntu gets talked about. Also, #ubuntu-motu | 07:12 |
| Flannel | kunzy: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome will get you where you want. Depending on what you're doing, kubuntu-desktop removal may not be enough (because a lot of kde will still be left) | 07:12 |
| Goupil418 | madpilot, I'm applying my constitutional rights | 07:12 |
| j2daosh | kunzy,ok, lemme know if that worked for you | 07:12 |
| kunzy | Flannel: Thanks for that, i got the page open and bookmarked | 07:13 |
| Madpilot | Goupil418, this is IRC, not a political forum. | 07:13 |
| nickrud | rflol Goupil418 | 07:13 |
| Goupil418 | nickrud, did you go on this channel? | 07:13 |
| kunzy | Flannel: Just didnt read it yet, will try next | 07:13 |
| j2daosh | flannel thats what i was thinking was going to happen. too many dependencies that would have to be left installed | 07:13 |
| n2diy | Goupil418: Yes, but Perl, Ruby, etc... have there own channels. | 07:13 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: sorry, I didn't think it would hang your system. Did you try ctrl+alt f2? | 07:13 |
| Jay-Oh-En | how do i get the driver for the mp700 from ubuntu to kubuntu | 07:13 |
| NullName | n3diy: Sometimes programmers need the advice from other linux/ubuntu programmers | 07:13 |
| nickrud | Goupil418: no, I've been watching you dis people that use this channel in the manner it was intended for, and have been doing it for years | 07:14 |
| NullName | Not all programs compile the same on all OS's | 07:14 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: tried F1 to F12, as far as it goes on my kbd | 07:14 |
| j2daosh | ok, i will be back in a sec. I need to delete my acount off the sys admins system before he craps a brick :P | 07:14 |
| Zarathu | I need to bridge an Internet connection from my laptop's Wi-Fi card through an Ethernet cable to my desktop PC. how do I go about bridging that connection? | 07:14 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: wow. I guess I should've separated the commands with a ; | 07:14 |
| Madpilot | Goupil418, if you just want to chat, #ubuntu-offtopic is the place. This is a tech support channel. | 07:15 |
| nemik | so my grub has sda1 as hd0,0. what would sdb1 for windows be then? and do i need the map for it? | 07:15 |
| Goupil418 | nickrud, you did not follow a single thing of what I said clearly | 07:15 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: oh? what difference would that have made for me?[thank god for REISUB] | 07:15 |
| evil_tech | Zarathu: be careful doing that or you might create a broadcast storm | 07:15 |
| nemik | would grub accept sd0,0? | 07:15 |
| Flannel | nemik: sdb1 is hd1,0. To keep windows happy, you'll need to map it. Because windows doesn't like being on the second disk | 07:15 |
| Goupil418 | Madpilot, I've found a way to boost the computer to an amazing speed but I need help in programming the program in question | 07:15 |
| Zarathu | evil_tech: do you know how to go about doing that? | 07:15 |
| IndianGrl | lgc : is there an easy how to .. for hayes modem? | 07:15 |
| Flannel | nemik: grub-speak is "hd" for HardDrive, regardless of IDE/SATA | 07:16 |
| evil_tech | Zarathu: in Windows yeah and like i said it caused a broadcast storm and pissed the net admins off | 07:16 |
| nemik | Flannel: i tried that though and it didn't like it for some reason. with map (hd0) (hd1) then map (hd1) (hd0) | 07:16 |
| Goupil418 | Madpilot, you guys are bashing me since like 1h45AM because I can't explain myself enough clearly | 07:16 |
| evil_tech | not sure if it would do the same in nix but just a warning | 07:16 |
| NullName | hey you guys I'm formating my drive(500GB external USB) to ext3 and it's taking forever. I realize now that I want to format to NTFS. Will it hurt my drive if I stopped formating in ext3 and then switched to NTFS? How long will this take? | 07:16 |
| Zarathu | evil_tech: no idea how to do it using brctl? | 07:16 |
| Zarathu | :< | 07:16 |
| evil_tech | nope | 07:16 |
| evil_tech | sorry | 07:16 |
| nickrud | Goupil418: the essense of what you've been doing: he'll let us discuss about anything we want we're still talking about ubuntu, programming is a part of ubuntu. This is not the purpose of this channel | 07:16 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: What do you need to know? Hayes is the default for most operating systems. | 07:16 |
| j2daosh | NullName: why NTFS? | 07:16 |
| j2daosh | thats for windows? | 07:16 |
| lgc | IndianGrl, I'm afraid I don't know. You might have to google for it. | 07:17 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: && means if the first command executes then immediately do the second. the ; says do one command and then the other. It wouldn't have froze your system. | 07:17 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: ah | 07:17 |
| Flannel | nemik: thats right. But when did you do it? and what did you use as root after that? | 07:17 |
| NullName | j2daosh: Yes, but I can write succesfully( aND have with this drive) in ubuntu to NTFS. I want to be able to use my drive on windows and linux boxes. | 07:17 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: ok, so thats what thats for[yay i learned another new thing todayX3] | 07:17 |
| j2daosh | ahh | 07:17 |
| Goupil418 | nickrud: I'm good at doing things on ubuntu man my ubuntu run's like windows with all drivers but better speed! if anyone ask me a question I'll gladly help him | 07:17 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, i have connected a hayes modem and i am trying to create a dial up connection but it says no modem found on an port | 07:18 |
| === amidaniel is now known as amidnaiel|away | ||
| nemik | Flannel: my setup hasn't changed before or after trying that. root is mounted at sda1 which maps to hd0,0 | 07:18 |
| Goupil418 | nickrud: but I want to take it a step farther | 07:18 |
| nickrud | Goupil418: good, we always need useful helpers :) | 07:18 |
| Flannel | nemik: Right, but for windows I mean | 07:18 |
| j2daosh | well unless you gonna be popping out the drive and putting in the different systems, why not set it to share out thru samba? | 07:18 |
| elbermungsterses | i seem to have an error, i can't install libc6-dev | 07:18 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: Do you have minicom installed? | 07:18 |
| NullName | j2daoshL It's an EXTERNAL drive. | 07:18 |
| nemik | Flannel: ah, since it is separate drive i installed windows on it with JUST that drive connected | 07:18 |
| nickrud | elbermungsterses: paste the error on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 07:18 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, no unles it comes in default intallation | 07:18 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: yeah a semicolon separates commands. It's just like C or C++ | 07:19 |
| j2daosh | oh, i missed that part :P | 07:19 |
| NullName | j2daosh: I have my house networked. I want to use this drive when I got to friend's houses. ALthough most of my friends I've converted to linux...; | 07:19 |
| j2daosh | ignore me... too much coffee and not enough hours in the day | 07:19 |
| nemik | Flannel: think i had it set to channel so no need for switching master/slave jumpers. xp setup and boot was fine | 07:19 |
| lgc | NullName, if I were you, I'd let the formatting to ext3 finish. | 07:19 |
| NullName | j2daosh: It's okay! | 07:19 |
| Flannel | nemik: since the map only happens when you've chosen the windows boot. you map, then root (and the root is the same regardless of mapping. Map only works for the booted OS) | 07:19 |
| NullName | lgc: How long will it take? | 07:19 |
| Goupil418 | nickrud: all I need is a good programmer's help someone that will be able to help me out if you know who to forward me to I'd be really happy | 07:19 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: Ok, it a terminal try "apt-get install minicom" | 07:19 |
| n2diy | it/in | 07:20 |
| j2daosh | 500 gigs? external.... probably a good 30 minutes atleast | 07:20 |
| nemik | Flannel: yea, map first then do the rootnoverify(hd0,1) ? | 07:20 |
| lgc | NullName, it depends on the size of your partition. Several minutes... | 07:20 |
| Flannel | nemik: yeah. not hd0,1 but hd1,0 | 07:20 |
| NullName | Goupil418: I can help with programming. Do you need a specifi language? | 07:20 |
| nickrud | Goupil418: seriously, try #ubuntu-offtopic. Lots of programmers idle there, and are interested in that kind of thing | 07:20 |
| kunzy | Ok, thanks Flannel and j2daosh, that fixed me up good and got rid of the un-needed packages | 07:20 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: my dad knows more in the area of c and c++, im still learning about computers, i just learned linux in may last year, was with no computer at all the summer until september and then i really took off with it, im teaching myself python right now, electronics and dnd are two very good hobbies... | 07:20 |
| j2daosh | np | 07:20 |
| kunzy | Thanks, now on to the next question | 07:20 |
| Goupil418 | nullname, can we take it private? | 07:20 |
| elbermungsterses | it says "libc6-dev: | 07:20 |
| elbermungsterses | Depends: libc6 (=2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-5 is to be installed" | 07:20 |
| Goupil418 | nickrud, I'm already in that channel but there's like 26 people there | 07:21 |
| nemik | Flannel: i'll give it a shot, thanks. so much effort just to play counterstrike on the HDTV/mythtv setup :/ | 07:21 |
| NullName | yes Goupil418 | 07:21 |
| kunzy | Is it possible to have a drive automatically moust at startup, before the desktop and such loads | 07:21 |
| Goupil418 | nullname cool thanks | 07:21 |
| j2daosh | elbermungsterses: so install the libc6 (2.6 version and then upgrade | 07:21 |
| nickrud | elbermungsterses: oh, you have hardy sources enabled, don't you | 07:21 |
| j2daosh | kunzy | 07:21 |
| NullName | Goupil418: I im'ed you | 07:21 |
| j2daosh | yes, put it in /etc/fstab | 07:21 |

| nickrud | !info libc6 hardy | 07:21 |
| elbermungsterses | how do i do that then? | 07:21 |
| ubotu | libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries. In component main, is required. Version 2.7-5ubuntu2 (hardy), package size 4159 kB, installed size 10280 kB | 07:21 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: How? Is there any particular way to do so or just drag and drop? | 07:22 |
| lgc | Goupil418, or you might try #C, #C++ or whatever. | 07:22 |
| Goupil418 | nullname: I can't see your message | 07:22 |
| NullName | Goupil418: I've had some problems with IM on this server | 07:22 |
| nickrud | elbermungsterses: it's not a good idea to have hardy sources enabled with gutsy | 07:22 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: any new knowlage is always a good thing in my eyes, i try to learn as much as possible wehn im on a computer...which has lead to me getting kicked off of the school computers for going on wikipedia and how-to sites too ofton, not to mention they blocked other nice sites i liked to visit | 07:22 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, wat does it do? | 07:22 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: Indeed, you can always do fun things with electronics. Python is useful as well | 07:22 |
| j2daosh | sudo vim /etc/fstab (or gedit if you perfer | 07:22 |
| j2daosh | then add an entry at the bottom of that file | 07:22 |
| nickrud | NullName: you need to be registered to pm on freenode | 07:22 |

| boxemall | hi folks i just restarted ubuntu and cannot change monitor refresh rate. yesterday it worked flawless. it seems that ubuntu changed bak to 50 Hz. but i can still selct the rate. but nothing happens. even the "wanna keep resolution" window appears. i cannot even cahnge resolution. what happened? how can i fix this? plz help | 07:22 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: Ok, run minicom from your terminal, and learn how to talk between the modem, and the computer. | 07:22 |
| NullName | Goupil418: I'm sunksullen on aim or sunksullen@hotmail.com for MSN | 07:22 |
| j2daosh | there will be other mounts in there for you to look at and get examples of | 07:22 |
| kunzy | k, i'll give it a try in vim, im more familiar with that | 07:22 |
| NullName | I'm also "suicide" on the IRC server irc.whatnet.org | 07:23 |
| Goupil418 | nullname: kk | 07:23 |
| j2daosh | good man(or woman...::shrugs::) | 07:23 |
| nickrud | elbermungsterses: in fact, it breaks your system, as you can see | 07:23 |
| kunzy | im a man lol | 07:23 |
| j2daosh | ok :P | 07:23 |
| Goupil418 | Nullname: I'm goupil418@live.ca | 07:24 |
| Goupil418 | Nullname: I'm not able to add you | 07:24 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: you can use ssh to bypass their firewalls btw | 07:24 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: if your modem is on Comm 2, that would be ttyS1 in linux. The capital "S" is important, a small "s" won't work. | 07:25 |
| nickrud | Goupil418: NullName you can just create a new channel on freenode, both of you just join #NullName | 07:25 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: in the past year i have gone from not knowing what a harddrive is/does[other than the name and what it looks like] to re-building my computer from the ground up, modding the case with a rather intricate window design, making it cooler and increasing airflow in it, programming linux into it and even going into modding other electronics as well | 07:25 |
| NullName | Goupil418: Thanks to nickrud, lets join #NullName | 07:26 |
| Goupil418 | Nickrud thanks! | 07:26 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: Sounds like you've been busy. Not bad progress for a year. | 07:26 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, how do i know which port is modem installed on? | 07:26 |
| matkix | Anyone know if WICD has wpa personal support | 07:27 |
| bluefoxx | so if im running in text mode on ctrl+alt+f1 how would i run a second terminal session on alt+f2?say to run a second comand line based pregram? | 07:27 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: ifstab | 07:27 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: indeed, a busy one and not cheap either | 07:27 |
| nickrud | bluefoxx: just log in on alt-f2 | 07:27 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: whoops. | 07:27 |
| j2daosh | bluefoxx: hit alt+f2 and then log in | 07:28 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, wat? | 07:28 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: theres no login shell, i booted from recovery mode, gave root password and the went "su bluefoxx" and ran irssi to get here | 07:28 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: working on it. | 07:28 |
| matkix | Anyone here know if WICD has any wpa personal support? | 07:28 |
| Clearzen | bluefoxx: If you find something you love to do then pursue it. Passion is the number one thing if you want to be good at something I think. But I think we're a little offtopic. Send me a msg | 07:28 |
| bluefoxx | Clearzen: ok, will do , im gonna just reboot and do the conversion when i have to sleep | 07:29 |
| DiGiTaL | Anyone know a way to remove grub from startup? | 07:29 |
| apex_ | Having some issues with lvm. Added 5gb to a LV but it doesnt see the volume as the size i just extended it too | 07:30 |
| nickrud | bluefoxx: oh, in recovery mode there's only one terminal | 07:30 |
| bluefoxx | btw, i was wondering, how do ppl get those custom messages when they leave a room? | 07:30 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: try "lshw" and see if it finds your modem, still working on it. | 07:30 |
| bluefoxx | nickrud: ok, ty | 07:30 |
| DiGiTaL | I did fixmbr and fdisk /mbr but i thought it would work, it didn't. Now I am on xp and If I restart my computer I will never be able to boot another partition because grub interfers | 07:30 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: so will this work? | 07:30 |
| kunzy | /dev/disk/by-uuid/044CB2834CB26F54 /media/Big Bertha rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other | 07:30 |
| nickrud | DiGiTaL: while you have xp up, go get Super Grub Disk it will deal with your boot issues | 07:31 |
| kunzy | (i checked the uuid and it is correct) | 07:31 |
| Devrethman | Anybody know a nifty tool capable of mass resizing images? | 07:31 |
| matkix | Anyone know why when I hibernate, then turn back on my screen goes all freeky then comes up with a password box? Where can I set the res so it won't keep doing that... its not on boot just on turning back up after hibernating... any ideas? | 07:31 |
| DiGiTaL | Ok. | 07:31 |
| matkix | !wicd | 07:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wicd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:31 |
| DiGiTaL | nickrud; Im the guy who came earlier about that Ubuntu problem with XP, turns out fixmbr or fixboot didnt work :( | 07:31 |
| Devrethman | I know i could probably be done with a bash script and mogrify, but I have no clue about scripting | 07:32 |
| nickrud | Devrethman: install nautilus-image-converter, it'll add a resize option to right click | 07:32 |
| evil_tech | DiGiTaL:thats a first. never had it not work | 07:32 |
| Devrethman | oh, cool | 07:32 |
| Devrethman | nickrud: thanks | 07:32 |
| DiGiTaL | I used an older version of xp home edition i had to access the recovery console | 07:32 |
| DiGiTaL | typed fdisk, then typed fixmbr | 07:32 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, no i did not find any modem | 07:33 |
| kunzy | j2daosh:? | 07:33 |
| DiGiTaL | it wouldnt return anyhting, so i wasn't sure and typed fixboot and it gave me an error i restarted and bamn grub error | 07:33 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, i have to go out for a while i will be back in a hour .. i hope u r here by then | 07:33 |
| evil_tech | DiGiTaL: boot into recovery console and just type fixmbr | 07:33 |
| evil_tech | if that doesnt work then try the fixboot | 07:33 |
| DiGiTaL | fixmbr didnt say anything after typing it, I gave it a minute because I thought it was working backend | 07:34 |
| kunzy | j2daosh: I will give it a try and report back | 07:34 |
| DiGiTaL | then typed fixboot and got an error message | 07:34 |
| n2diy | IndianGrl: Good luck, sorry, it is late here, and I must hit the hay, but others here will help you, take care, good luck. | 07:34 |
| evil_tech | what was the error? | 07:34 |
| IcemanV9 | DiGiTaL: when you use fixmbr, then grub will be gone | 07:34 |
| IndianGrl | n2diy, thanks | 07:34 |
| nickrud | DiGiTaL: listen to evil_tech he supports the evil os | 07:34 |
| DiGiTaL | IcemanV9: Do I have to use the windows cd version Im running or can I use any XP cd to get into recovery console? | 07:35 |
| IcemanV9 | DiGiTaL: do what evil_tech just told you to | 07:35 |
| evil_tech | for the commands you are using any xp cd will do | 07:35 |
| evil_tech | just dont go repairing the os with a profesional disc | 07:36 |
| DiGiTaL | Yea, I got a home edition while my current Xp is media center | 07:36 |
| pk265 | I hv Aspire 1640 (Acer machine).... I tried several times to install Ubuntu on it but failed... I tried Ubuntu 6.10(live CD & Alternate), Kubuntu 6.10, New Ubuntu 7.10 (Live).. I am really interested to run ubuntu on my PC. But really disappointed by the result. | 07:36 |
| matkix | Anyone know why when I hibernate, then turn back on my screen goes all freeky then comes up with a password box? Where can I set the res so it won't keep doing that... its not on boot just on turning back up after hibernating... any ideas? | 07:36 |
| DiGiTaL | See Im worried now, If I restart my computer to do fixmbr | 07:36 |
| DiGiTaL | and if it doesnt work i cant load this partition again | 07:37 |
| hk2999 | i need a midi player application for GNOME!!! | 07:37 |
| nickrud | DiGiTaL: download super grub disk, burn it to cd. It wll boot that partition again for you | 07:37 |
| hk2999 | do you have any apt: recommendations? | 07:37 |
| FYI | 2 bedrooms are nice | 07:37 |
| sgrover | Is there a prebuilt kernel package for Gutsy that supports large memory? (> 4GB) | 07:38 |
| FYI | :P | 07:38 |
| bluefoxx | hk2999: search synaptic, but i seem to recall terminator x and hydrogen play midi | 07:38 |
| DiGiTaL | Ok. I'll do it nickrud. | 07:38 |
| bluefoxx | hk2999: hydrogen for sure, terminatorx im not so sure | 07:38 |
| hk2999 | thx bluefoxx | 07:38 |

| kaushal | hi | 07:38 |
| FYI | sftp | 07:38 |
| FYI | or ftp | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Devrethman: gfpt | 07:39 |
| kaushal | iostat command is not found in Ubuntu 7.04 | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Devrethman: erm, gftp | 07:39 |
| Onyx | I'm trying to export the raw data contained in a postgresql database to an excel file. I've got pgAdmin III installed, but I'm not finding an option to export anywhere. | 07:39 |
| FYI | just open terminal and type ftp | 07:39 |
| rullie | Devrethman, yafc is really nice | 07:39 |
| FYI | :) | 07:39 |
| bluefoxx | hk2999: no prob, i rember as i use both | 07:39 |
| bluefoxx | /me loves making teh tunez | 07:39 |
| kaushal | is there any other command instead of iostat | 07:39 |
| kunzy | Can i get the location of that one file that mounts the devices on startup again please? | 07:39 |
| Devrethman | is yafc GUI based? | 07:39 |
| rullie | kunzy, /etc/fstab | 07:39 |
| n2diy | Devrethman: No ftp is dangeroous, learn how to use stp | 07:39 |
| evil_tech | /etc/fstab | 07:39 |
| kunzy | thanks | 07:39 |
| rullie | Devrethman, no it is not | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Devrethman: gftp is | 07:40 |
| Devrethman | n2diy: whatever that is, if godaddy supported it, I'd gladly use it | 07:40 |
| Devrethman | FTP is terrible | 07:40 |
| xaphoo | hi... I have Gutsy installed on an old laptop with a Geforce2 go... does anyone know a good way to get rudimentary 3d acceleration going? I would like an accelerated desktop to boost 2d performance... | 07:40 |
| kaushal | ??? | 07:40 |
| nickrud | Devrethman: although I often use the fireftp firefox extension as well | 07:40 |
| Devrethman | fireFTP can't upload, can it? | 07:40 |
| n2diy | Devrethman: have a link handy for godaddy? | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | at least it couldn't last itme I used it | 07:41 |
| FYI | yes it can | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | which was like... 4 years ago | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | godaddy.com | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | my webhost | 07:41 |
| rullie | Devrethman, if u're looking for a GUI approach, gFTP is probably your bet | 07:41 |
| nickrud | Devrethman: yes it does, at least to mine | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | not so great service, but great price | 07:41 |
| roshan | Hi All, is there any equivalent of 'piky' basket of windows for linux?? | 07:41 |
| FYI | devrethman, what package do you have from them? | 07:41 |
| jklfdjskl | The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma | 07:41 |
| jklfdjskl | complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. | 07:41 |
| sgrover | Devrethman: Konqueror is an excellent FTP client - but it's a KDE app. | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | the not cheapest but cheaper than everything else one | 07:41 |
| n2diy | Devrethman: thanks, stp is part of the ssh package, IRC? | 07:41 |
| Devrethman | yeah, I used to use gentoo/KDE | 07:42 |
| Devrethman | so that's why I don't know any programs and ways to do things with gnome | 07:42 |
| Devrethman | just got ubuntu on here yesterday | 07:42 |
| DiGiTaL | Ok Super Grub Disc is burned. | 07:42 |
| DiGiTaL | Wish me luck | 07:42 |
| DiGiTaL | Thanks again | 07:42 |
| matkix | Anyone know why when I hibernate, then turn back on my screen goes all freeky then comes up with a password box? Where can I set the res so it won't keep doing that... its not on boot just on turning back up after hibernating... any ideas? | 07:42 |
| FYI | asking for wep key in text installer; is this in hex or plain text? | 07:42 |
| jklfdjskl | kde blows | 07:43 |
| sgrover | so's your mother, but what does that have to do with the conversation?? :) | 07:43 |
| jklfdjskl | kde began requiring nonfree to even run at all | 07:44 |
| sgrover | bull | 07:44 |
| jklfdjskl | thats not bull | 07:44 |
| sgrover | which non-free? | 07:44 |
| Flannel | it is however, offtopic | 07:44 |
| jklfdjskl | qt was nonfree when kde began | 07:44 |
| Devrethman | jklfdskl: I don't care about nonfree/free/political crap | 07:44 |
| sgrover | and why's it matter? | 07:44 |
| FYI | WHOA, my wireless card works! | 07:44 |
| Devrethman | if I'm not paying for it, I consider it free | 07:44 |
| jklfdjskl | sweet! | 07:44 |
| Devrethman | LDE | 07:44 |
| Devrethman | s a memory hog though | 07:44 |
| Devrethman | err | 07:44 |
| Devrethman | KDE | 07:44 |
| ChrisULM | KDE is a hog compared to what? | 07:45 |
| sgrover | jklfdjskl: awww.. that argument is SOOOOO old - QT has been GPL'd for most of KDE's life. | 07:45 |
| sgrover | compared to gnome? I think not. | 07:45 |
| Devrethman | everything else I've used | 07:45 |
| Devrethman | enlightenment, Wmaker | 07:45 |
| Devrethman | what else... I dunno | 07:45 |
| ChrisULM | well of course enlightenment | 07:45 |
| jklfdjskl | im sure all you kde users are familiar with the kde krash handler | 07:45 |
| Devrethman | never used gnome seriously | 07:45 |
| ChrisULM | i think it runs comparable to gnome | 07:45 |
| jklfdjskl | thats because it always reminds you its there | 07:45 |
| FYI | Well, it picked up the network but failed with DHCP | 07:45 |
| sgrover | ahh.. those are "windows mangers". KDE is a "desktop environment", slight difference. | 07:46 |
| Flannel | Hey guys, take the WM-war to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks. | 07:46 |
| jklfdjskl | we're all gunna get banned for off topic | 07:46 |
| Devrethman | yeah, well, they do the same thing pretty much | 07:46 |
| sgrover | Flannel: agreed.. :) sry | 07:46 |
| Devrethman | and KDE is noticably slower | 07:46 |
| Devrethman | than gnome | 07:46 |
| Devrethman | it took longer to start up and open programs and such | 07:46 |
| sgrover | I've noticed the reverse. KDE being much faster - on all my boxes. | 07:46 |
| === ereal2 is now known as Ereal2 | ||
| ChrisULM | <--- hasnt noticed | 07:46 |
| Devrethman | and that was with my -ffast math'd gentoo system too | 07:46 |
| sgrover | but that's a style/personal preference thing... | 07:46 |
| Devrethman | have they released KDE4 yet? | 07:47 |
| Devrethman | I know it was supposed to be sometime this month | 07:47 |
| ChrisULM | !topic | 07:47 |
| ubotu | Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 07:47 |
| icesword | dynamic ip ,how to build ftp ? | 07:47 |
| sgrover | KDE4 was released today. | 07:48 |
| Devrethman | the topic's wider than my screen... | 07:48 |
| IcemanV9 | Devrethman: yes, it is released today | 07:48 |
| Devrethman | geez, what a coincidence | 07:48 |
| jklfdjskl | for real this time? | 07:48 |
| Devrethman | I haven't thought about it since before christmas | 07:48 |
| ChrisULM | how does enlightenment run as compared to fluxbox or xfce? | 07:48 |
| sgrover | fer real. 4.0 hot off the presses. | 07:48 |
| bluefoxx | what are the 7.10 process/job IDs for the gnome desktop that i kill to go to text based mode? i tried "killall X && logout" and "stop X && logout"with no luck [i ran the "; logout" and gnome in place of "x" in place of "x" with no luck. i also ran both as root with still no result | 07:49 |
| Devrethman | I dunno, never used flux, and XFCE only briefly | 07:49 |
| Devrethman | E is pretty nice though | 07:49 |
| ChrisULM | waiting for the new linux mint thing with E | 07:49 |
| Devrethman | bluefoxx: gdm maybe? | 07:49 |
| Devrethman | linux mint thing? | 07:49 |
| n2diy | bluefoxx: kill-all? | 07:50 |
| ChrisULM | E17 or something they call it | 07:50 |
| IcemanV9 | bluefoxx: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 07:50 |
| Devrethman | ah | 07:50 |
| Devrethman | yeah, E17 is fun | 07:50 |
| icesword | sgrover, wait,kde4 is released?what is it like?can 256m ram run it ? | 07:50 |
| bluefoxx | Devrethman: will try that, if i get D/Ced you know it worked | 07:50 |
| Devrethman | I wonder what they've done with it, I used it back when it was like "pre-alpha-alpha-the-cvs-won't-compile-every-other-day" version | 07:50 |
| Devrethman | and they changed shit all the time | 07:50 |
| Devrethman | but it was freaking amazing nonetheless | 07:51 |
| Devrethman | cause compiz wasn't out yet | 07:51 |
| quickquestion528 | does anyone know where i can download the small ~10 MB iso of netinstall for ubuntu? | 07:51 |
| kunzy | ok, im stumped. I need basically a how to on how to get a drive to mount on startup. | 07:51 |
| nickrud | !off-topic | Devrethman (it is pretty quiet here, but) | 07:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about off-topic - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:51 |
| sgrover | icesword: it's released, but I haven't tried it, can't help ya there. (and off topic) | 07:51 |
| sgrover | kunzy: you need to add an entry to your /etc/fstab file (as root) | 07:52 |
| icesword | i see | 07:52 |
| nickrud | quickquestion528: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 07:52 |
| stunatra | Anyone suggest a .avi to .vob converter? | 07:53 |
| quickquestion528 | thanks nickrud | 07:53 |
| Devrethman | pfft, offtopic, this channel's no fun | 07:53 |
| kunzy | sgrover: tried that, it was a no go. But i may have done it incorrectly. Let me get you a copy/paste to what i put | 07:53 |
| sgrover | kunzy: local drive? Or remote/SMB/CIFS/NFS/etc... ? | 07:53 |
| kunzy | local, sata | 07:53 |
| kunzy | sgrover: /dev/disk/by-uuid/044CB2834CB26F54 /media/Big Bertha rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other | 07:54 |
| sgrover | got the right identifier? sda? sdb? etc.? | 07:54 |
| sgrover | Ahhh, you're using the IDs. | 07:54 |
| nickrud | kunzy: the space is the issue | 07:54 |
| kunzy | yea, i checked it | 07:54 |
| kunzy | what one? | 07:54 |
| nickrud | kunzy: in Big Bertha | 07:54 |
| sgrover | Try it with /dev/sda1 (or what ever drive/partition) | 07:54 |
| ke5aux | another live cd question. When loading the live cd my video becomes funky with lots of artifacts on screen. Mouse still works ok but nothing is clickable. what gives? video card is 7900gt | 07:54 |
| kunzy | ok, let me see what one it is | 07:54 |
| sgrover | you can do fdisk -l to get a listing (that's an L) | 07:54 |
| nickrud | kunzy: try /media/Big%040Bertha , I think that works | 07:55 |
| FYI | ahhh, installing | 07:55 |
| bluefoxx | IcemanV9: "bluefoxx@azurE-prIDE:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop ; logout" is what leaves me with a black screen and blinking _ cursor | 07:55 |
| kunzy | isnt %20 space? Or is that just HTML | 07:55 |
| FYI | I think that's just http encoding | 07:55 |
| kunzy | k | 07:55 |
| sgrover | nickrud: /media/Big Bertha would be his mount point. Hmmm.. if he's using spaces, doesn't that need to be in quotes? | 07:55 |
| nickrud | kunzy: or \040 , i forget | 07:56 |
| kunzy | i might just try sgrovers idea. Much simpler i think | 07:56 |
| sgrover | nickrud: nm - noticed what you were saying.. :) | 07:56 |
| nickrud | sgrover: or have the right escaped character, I'm pretty sure it's \040 | 07:56 |
| IcemanV9 | bluefoxx: that is your console/text-based terminal | 07:56 |
| bluefoxx | ice | 07:56 |

| ke5aux | another live cd question. When loading the live cd my video becomes funky with lots of artifacts on screen. Mouse still works ok but nothing is clickable. what gives? video card is 7900gt | 07:57 |
| roshan | Hi All, is there any software in linux that implements copying of multiple files from different folders and paste it into a single folder? | 07:57 |
| bluefoxx | IcemanV9: i cant do anything from it though...its the same thing i got when i fried my old mobo and looks the same as when i fried a computer trying to run win 98 on it[was a p2] | 07:57 |
| nickrud | kunzy: it's definitely \040 for a space | 07:58 |
| kunzy | ok | 07:58 |
| kunzy | i am going that path now | 07:58 |
| sgrover | roshan: you can only issue a command to copy from a single location at a time. but you can write a script to do what you need with multiple copy commands. | 07:58 |
| jonn | where can i get a good C++ IDE | 07:58 |
| sgrover | jonn: Eclipse with the CDT package would be a good starting point... | 07:59 |
| jonn | sudo apt-get install eclipse? | 07:59 |
| kunzy | sgrover: nickrud: Ok, i think i got it, brb | 08:00 |
| IcemanV9 | bluefoxx: well. you wanted to go to text-based mode (which you did). now you can restart X again by sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 08:00 |
| sgrover | er.. I've had bad luck using apt-get for Eclipse. Just make sure you have the Java SDK installed, then grab the package from the Eclipse site. Unzip it, and you're set. | 08:00 |
| sgrover | jonn: apt-get WILL work though... | 08:00 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| jonn | agrover whats the best way to do it? synaptic? | 08:01 |
| nickrud | jonn: I second sgrover 's idea of getting eclipse from eclipse.org , it just seems to work better | 08:01 |
| roshan | sgrover, is there any automated script software for implementing such a thing? | 08:01 |
| jonn | alright | 08:01 |
| sgrover | roshan: nope. Cuz it'd be very specific to what YOU want. Just open a text file, put one "cp" command on each line, save the file, make it executable (chmod 755) and then run it... | 08:02 |
| jonn | sgrover this site is mentioning java a lot. is this relevant for c compiling? | 08:03 |
| sgrover | jonn: If I remember the apt-get repositories are not kept as current as the Eclipse site (once installed eclipse can keep itself updated). But things go odd when you use apt-get to install Eclipse packages - like CDT | 08:03 |
| FYI | vista partition is gone... amen | 08:03 |
| josiah | can anybody make out what this error is? I did an update through update manager and once it finished I got this: E: libflickrnet2.1.5-cil: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 08:03 |
| IcemanV9 | what? no geany for dapper? :-/ | 08:03 |
| jonn | forget that stupid question i asked | 08:03 |
| sgrover | jonn: Eclipse is a Java developement environement with extensions to handle most other languages - PHP, C/C++, Cold Fusion, JavaScript, etc... Eclipse is just the framework though. | 08:03 |
| bluefoxx | IcemanV9: i dont want to get back into X, i want to go to entirely text based mode, as to remove extra stress from the CPU and devote it entirely to one task[converting videos to mpg for sansa] otherwise i wind up with choppy vids everytime i run more apps[if using mencoder from gnome-terminal]what i want is to go to a text based login shell, login to my account and run a script i made to automatically go to the next vid without me h | 08:04 |
| josiah | it was updating ntfs-3g and libntfs-3g16 | 08:04 |
| sgrover | jonn: the only gotcha is that you need your Java set up properly. | 08:04 |
| nickrud | jonn: and that's easy , just sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre | 08:04 |
| roshan | sgrover, ok.. thanks | 08:04 |
| sgrover | jonn: you can try http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Eclipse_IDE | 08:05 |
| kunzy | sgrover: nickrud: Ok, did that and rebooted. It didnt mount the drive and now when i go to access it, i dont have the privilages. Here is another copy paste of what i got in the fstab | 08:05 |
| kunzy | /dev/disk/by-uuid/044CB2834CB26F54 /media/Big\040Bertha rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other | 08:05 |
| FYI | what happened to creating a file with javascript and refreshing your browser hahaha | 08:05 |
| sgrover | jonn: and right below the Eclipse entry is Ajunta - a c/c++ IDE | 08:05 |
| sgrover | kunzy: you can "simulate" a reboot with a "sudo mount -a" | 08:05 |
| kunzy | sgrover: now you tell me | 08:05 |
| sgrover | you left tooooo quick.. :) | 08:06 |
| kunzy | sgrover: I'm easily excited :P | 08:06 |
| JerseyMonkey | Is there anyway to enable drivers in the Restricted Drivers Manager through terminal? | 08:06 |
| nickrud | kunzy: ah, missed the first error: it would be UUID=<uuid> as the first parameter , not /dev/disk/by-uuid | 08:06 |
| jonn | sgrover do they both highlight reserve words and whatnot? | 08:06 |
| jonn | looks like ajunta is used for just c and c++ | 08:06 |
| sgrover | I've never used Ajunta, so can't say there. Eclipse - yes - it has syntax highlighting. | 08:07 |
| kunzy | nickrud: So i want UUID=(numbers/letters) /media/Big\040Bertha rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other | 08:07 |
| IcemanV9 | bluefoxx: ah. "sudo /etc/xinit.d/gdm stop" will stop X. then you can do what you need to do in text-based mode. | 08:07 |
| sgrover | (personally, I prefer using Kate for my dev needs... but it's just a glorified editor... | 08:07 |
| bluefoxx | IcemanV9: ok, thanks | 08:07 |
| nickrud | kunzy: yes. The missing space jumped out at me, didn't look further | 08:07 |
| sgrover | jonn: you can also try KDevelop (that's a KDE app though) | 08:07 |
| kunzy | nickrud: I've done similar before, i'll give that a go and then the sudo mount -a that i just recently learned | 08:08 |
| sgrover | kunzy: try taking off the options for now. Run mount -a and see if you get any reported errors. | 08:08 |
| jonn | sgrover yea i thought of that but i dont think i want kde on my laptop | 08:08 |
| nickrud | kunzy: it's amazing how you get stuff by osmosis | 08:08 |
| bluefoxx | on another issue i had, how can i remove the 'hibernate' and 'sleep' options from the power options menu, as they dont work on my computer and they tend to confuse my grandfather | 08:08 |
| kunzy | lol | 08:09 |
| nickrud | kunzy: I've been coming here for a long time, I learn at least one new thing every time | 08:09 |
| shishirm1 | hi guys | 08:09 |

| kunzy | nickrud: /media/Big\040Bertha rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other | 08:10 |
| kunzy | oops just a sec | 08:10 |
| shishirm1 | i wanna setup a http server please help me | 08:10 |
| kunzy | nickrud: mount: mount point /media/Big Bertha does not exist | 08:10 |
| shishirm1 | i want to use apache and tomcat | 08:10 |
| nickrud | kunzy: you're missing the UUID= | 08:10 |
| shishirm1 | so i saw synaptic | 08:11 |
| shishirm1 | it has something called apache2 | 08:11 |
| shishirm1 | is it what i have to install? | 08:11 |
| nickrud | kunzy: did you do sudo mkdir /media/Big\ Bertha | 08:11 |
| kunzy | nickrud: No? here is what i got in fstab now | 08:11 |
| kunzy | UUID=044CB2834CB26F54 /media/Big\040Bertha | 08:11 |
| sgrover | shishirm1: Apache 2 is the 2.0 branch of Apache. Some sites still have a need for the 1.3 branch. Apache2 will work fine with tomcat | 08:11 |
| nickrud | kunzy: as an aside, this is why I never use spaces :) | 08:11 |
| kunzy | hehe, this pc is shared by XP | 08:12 |
| nickrud | kunzy: the mount point has to preexist | 08:12 |
| shishirm1 | ok thanks.. | 08:12 |
| Madpilot | ubotu, apache | shishirm1 | 08:12 |
| sgrover | kunzy: yep - I agree - I use underscores instead of spaces... | 08:12 |
| sp0ro | Anyone know much about Nagios? #nagios seems to be dead at the moment. :) | 08:12 |
| shishirm1 | so where will get the documentation for apache2? | 08:12 |
| ubotu | shishirm1: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 08:12 |
| sgrover | shishirm1: you can always check the Apache website.. :) | 08:13 |
| FYI | ubotu, ubuntu | FYI | 08:13 |
| kunzy | nickrud: Just clarification, was that to be a mkdir /media/Big\040Bertha | 08:13 |
| shishirm1 | oops | 08:13 |
| shishirm1 | ok thanks | 08:13 |
| sgrover | Their docs are great - but not for beginners - look for an apache tutorial or better yet, a Tomcat tutorial from start to finish. | 08:13 |
| nickrud | kunzy: no in this case /media/Big\ Bertha is correct | 08:14 |
| ompaul | FYI, just do /msg ubotu factoid | 08:14 |
| FYI | ompaul, OK... was just testing it | 08:14 |

| ompaul | sp0ro, maybe people would be able to judge the answer to that question if they had the detail - i.e. maybe I know something of nagios but not a lot so your question could be pitched to the whole channel and then people could evaluate it against their existing knowledge :) | 08:15 |
| sgrover | kunzy: make sure you change ownership of that directory to your target user... otherwise you may have access problems... :) | 08:15 |
| kunzy | nickrud: Ok, it made it run sudo mount -a ? | 08:15 |
| nickrud | kunzy: yeah, or just never use it in file/directory names , and yup, try again | 08:16 |
| kunzy | nickrud: mount: unknown filesystem type '' (its NTFS) | 08:16 |
| sgrover | do you have NTFS support installed? | 08:16 |
| kunzy | sgrover: haha guess not | 08:17 |
| nickrud | kunzy: I"m tired. UUID mountpoint ntfs | 08:17 |
| sp0ro | ompaul: Very true, hold on a second and I'll post the question(s). Had multiple problems, so give me a minute. | 08:17 |
| sp0ro | I just installed nagios 3.0rc1 step by step in the Nagios quickstart installation guide. When I goto the web interface, it says that it could not read host and service status information. I already started and restarded Nagios, double checked on the verification of files, and double checked that I did everything that documentation said to do(which I did in fact do right the first time). Any ideas? | 08:17 |
| nickrud | kunzy: you need the file type in the fstab, following the mount point | 08:17 |
| sp0ro | I found a problem in the log: "Could not create external command file '/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd' as named pipe: (2) -> No such file or directory. If this file already exists and you are sure that another copy of Nagios is not running, you should delete this file." My folder tree only goes upto /usr/local/nagios/var/, there is no "rw" folder or "nagios.cmd" present. | 08:17 |
| kunzy | nickrud: ok i think i get you, just a sec | 08:17 |
| LadyDeath665 | hello? | 08:17 |

| ompaul | FYI, (A) not 7.1 but year 7 month 10 => 7.10 (B) trackerd (C) nothing | 08:19 |
| kunzy | Does that mean i just need to add the rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other stuff | 08:19 |
| FYI | ompaul, thanks :) | 08:20 |
| nickrud | kunzy: check you can see the files first | 08:20 |
| kunzy | nickrud: yup, access is good. ( i have been able to use this already, i just didnt want to mount it all the time) | 08:20 |

| ompaul | sp0ro, a beginners expert is on the page ahead in the book :) | 08:29 |
| sp0ro | ompaul: hehe true | 08:29 |
| kunzy | Ok, last question for the night. I have the G15 gaming keyboard from logitech. Is there a way to use it more fully in Ubuntu? | 08:30 |
| FYI | Now I am getting the erro " the software source for this package (bcm43xx-fwcutter) is not enabled. Any ideas? Do you still have to enable repositories? | 08:31 |
| ompaul | sp0ro, using rc3 ... that is not in the supported archive so I guess it has not been altered to read from upstart - therefore the 2.9 in the repos is the ideal one to use | 08:31 |
| ompaul | sp0ro, that is a best guess | 08:31 |
| Peddy | hey everyone. how do I exit a channel in xChat with a message? | 08:32 |
| sp0ro | ompaul: The documentation I read *SAYS* to install rc3. ;) | 08:32 |
| sp0ro | ompaul: That documentation was directly from the Nagios website, by the way. :) | 08:32 |
| ompaul | sp0ro, it is not the release version with ubuntu - what a package suggests and what is supported may differ - your distro is your distro - if you choose to step beyond it you need to start dealing with devs | 08:33 |
| sp0ro | ompaul: The documentation was altered for Ubuntu 7.10. :P | 08:33 |
| sp0ro | ompaul: I guess I can give 2.9 a shot though. | 08:33 |

| imanassah | houdini, it wouldn't let me install the nvidia drivers at all either | 08:52 |
| houdini | it installed the restricted drivers (which I assume to be nvidia-glx-new, since that's installed now) | 08:52 |
| houdini | but X can't use it. I just end up in low-res mode | 08:52 |
| houdini | I've tried fixing it with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, and hacking the xorg.conf file by hand | 08:53 |
| imanassah | what distro, ubuntu? | 08:53 |
| houdini | xubuntu | 08:53 |
| houdini | 7.10, installed about 2 hours ago | 08:54 |
| houdini | and up to date at that point | 08:54 |
| imanassah | hmmm | 08:54 |
| imanassah | houdini, i believe xubuntu has an option to enable a restricted driver | 08:55 |
| houdini | imanassah: yeah, that's what I did. the first time I logged in, it asked me if I wanted to use that | 08:56 |
| houdini | I checked yes and rebooted when it asked | 08:56 |
| houdini | actually... | 08:56 |
| * houdini goes and disables the driver | 08:56 | |
| rredd4 | I have a Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 video card. I went to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager to enable the accelerated driver. When I stream video, such as youtube, it is slow. I use cable internet, and in windows videos play ok. any ideas how to make this faster? | 08:57 |
| houdini | rredd4: how's local video? | 08:57 |
| houdini | slow as well, or ok? | 08:57 |
| rredd4 | great | 08:57 |
| rredd4 | local video is ok | 08:58 |
| houdini | ok, my desktop is ok (resolution-wise) without the restricted driver | 08:58 |
| rredd4 | yahoo or you tube is slow | 08:58 |
| houdini | but I'd like 3d, you know? :) | 08:58 |
| houdini | rredd4: sorry, I've got nothing. just checking on the basics | 08:58 |
| rredd4 | yeah | 08:58 |
| imanassah | houdini: i'm not too sure | 08:59 |
| El_toni | i want to recompile a kernel withouth initrd....how can i do this in ubuntu's way? | 08:59 |
| imanassah | houdini: i bet you've been banging your head for the past two hours | 08:59 |
| houdini | imanassah: oddly, I've seen this happen on a machine at work. at the time I just assumed the guy had messed it up | 09:00 |
| houdini | now I'm wondering if it's an ubuntu problem | 09:00 |
| houdini | he's got completely different hardware than I do, but he was also on a fresh 7.10 (in his case, upgrade from 7.4) on an nvidia card | 09:00 |
| _KAMI1 | hello! | 09:01 |
| houdini | my monitor only does 1280x1024, so that's ok. he's got a 30" monstrosity, so it doesn't work out unless he's running the restricted driver | 09:01 |
| imanassah | houdini: ok so you installed it, however it is restricted so you can't have decent imagery? | 09:02 |
| jonn | i installed anjuta but i dont see any compiling tools | 09:02 |
| jonn | am i missing some dependencies or something? | 09:03 |
| houdini | imanassah: er... I think the "restricted" is about the license | 09:03 |
| houdini | specifically, it's non-free | 09:03 |
| houdini | I think | 09:03 |
| rredd4 | houdini i turned off the accelerated driver, streaming video is still slow | 09:04 |
| imanassah | houdini: here's what i found on a forum | 09:04 |
| ib_ | HI | 09:04 |
| === FlannelKing is now known as Flannel | ||
| imanassah | Go back into your restricted drivers, turn off the Nvidia card, then uninstall the one you got, probably the "Glx-New" and go down to "Binary X-Org" and install that. Then restart your computer, enable the Nvidia card again in restricted drivers and restart and see what happens. | 09:04 |

| krish | how can i contact the maintainers of ubuntuvideo.com | 09:29 |

| imanassah | houdini, i'm not too sure...i've never even came upon that problem before at all | 09:30 |
| Enselic | Kalamansi: right so you need to install it, using the sudo aapt-get install comand you asked about earlier | 09:30 |

| FYI | silent: where would I find a new guide, this sucks | 09:56 |
| IndianGrl | shishirm1, will it install the driver too? | 09:56 |
| Kalamansi | Enselic : yes... | 09:56 |
| Kalamansi | Enselic : it needs a restart? | 09:56 |
| FYI | silent: it's weird; it recognized my wireless card (picked up the signal, the ssid and my WEP key) during the text-based installation... now it's defunct | 09:56 |
| shishirm1 | try.. :S | 09:57 |
| Enselic | Kalamansi: you very rarely need to reboot, although in some cases that will also help | 09:57 |
| Enselic | Kalamansi: in this case I doubt it will make any differences | 09:57 |
| foibles | could anyone help me in my quest to find eye candy for gnome? | 09:57 |

| dark__ | eye candy for gnome? .. gah | 09:57 |
| foibles | dark__, is it even possible? | 09:58 |
| Enselic | Kalamansi: for some reason it appears as if the .deb does not accept a newer version of libssl to satisfy the dependency | 09:58 |
| foibles | it just needs more pizzazz | 09:58 |
| Kalamansi | Enselic : thats the error after double clicking the .deb | 09:58 |
| foibles | dark__, what window manager are you running | 09:58 |
| Kalamansi | Enselic : so its not supported then... | 09:58 |
| josiah | I like Amarok alot but am having issues. Whats the next best thing? | 09:59 |

| silent | FYI, make sure you have the correct drivers/modules for the wireless card | 10:02 |
| FYI | ANYONE know? You know that nice program that tells you there's firmware not supported by ubuntu that you can install? | 10:02 |

| josiah | does mplayer work like amarok? | 10:03 |
| Enselic | josiah: no | 10:03 |
| dark__ | foibles ahhhh.. yeh at least opengl work on linux | 10:03 |
| foibles | dark__, yeah | 10:04 |
| foibles | dark__, are you dual booting to windows? | 10:04 |
| Ayabara | dirkg3nt1y: it's a good theme, but .. a little "flat" | 10:04 |
| josiah | Enselic: what is the difference between them? What is a good media application to use? I like amarok but am having issue with it right now that i cant figure out. | 10:04 |
| dark__ | foibles for eyecandy though.. isn't just kinda having *nix working enough. | 10:04 |
| dirkg3nt1y | Ayabara: I like simple :) | 10:04 |
| dark__ | foibles not dual booting no | 10:05 |
| FYI | silent: do you know what I'm talking about with regards to that program? It pops up telling you there's available firmware files (but that ubuntu does not support them). It had NVIDIA and Broadcom for me; I would like to access it again | 10:05 |
| foibles | dark__, heh, no i desire more | 10:05 |
| Enselic | josiah: mplayer plays as good as any format, but does not provide facilites to organize media files | 10:05 |
| foibles | dark__, if you dont think its possible, try enlightenment or fluxbox | 10:05 |
| dark__ | foibles was for a while but now windows dont work no more | 10:05 |
| foibles | dark__, ill probably just indulge in some desklets of some sort | 10:05 |
| Enselic | josiah: why not use Amarok on Ubuntu? it's not Kubuntu specific | 10:05 |
| dark__ | foibles oh ive seen enlightenment but its not for me | 10:06 |
| Enselic | josiah: you can run both KDE and GNOME apps at the same time, they are not mutually exsclusive in any way | 10:06 |
| josiah | Enselic: Im getting errors with it that I cant figure out. Its not loading xine drivers. | 10:06 |

| sp0ro | To be honest, Wine has better support than Cedega in my opinion. | 11:05 |
| a4ndr3c | spOro: wine is not an emulator :P | 11:05 |
| dirkg3nt1y | bert: in my ignorance, I hope I can assist. If gparted can create another partition it is possible format another partition in hfs+.

| sp0ro | Randompolygamy: He was joking | 11:08 |
| madmike | RandomDestructn, Wine doesn't emulate as an emulator would do... it's more a re-implementation of the win32-API that's why they 'say' WINE is not an emualtor | 11:08 |

| Emof | I just installed KDE 4 on my Ubuntu 7.10 and it seems very "buggy". Everything is kind of slow, and the background doesn't load by itself, and the fonts are kind of hard to read. I usually run compiz-fusion/gnome without any trouble so I'm wondering if I might have done something wrong. But since installing it was just a matter of apt-get install kde4-core I'm not sure what could have gone wrong | 11:09 |
| Randompolygamy | lol, i cant right now.. im an insomniac | 11:09 |
| sa1 | kirk:I am using it 1st time...can you please tell me how to run? | 11:09 |
| kirk | no i cant | 11:09 |
| kirk | you need to read more | 11:09 |
| sa1 | kirk:ok | 11:09 |
| madmike | Emof, KDE 4 is really very new... why did you install it? | 11:09 |
| sa1 | kirk:thnx a lot :) | 11:09 |
| Emof | I just wanted to try it out | 11:09 |
| kirk | sorry | 11:09 |
| a4ndr3c | Emof: kde 4 is beta i think... | 11:10 |
| McMurlock | I want to execute a script when I plug a USB device but hotplug don't seem to be used in 7.10, do you know where I can found doc ? | 11:10 |
| Emof | And it's a stable release, so I didn't think i would have such basic problems | 11:10 |
| Emof | and other people doesn't seem to have them :) | 11:10 |
| ere4si | Emof: if you just installed the core then you are missing necessaries I would think | 11:10 |
| sp0ro | Hmm, this is annoying. Alright, so I am trying to access something from a webinterface via my IP address and of course a Remote Access login screen appears. I have Apache installed, but have not configured anything. It's not asking me for the "WebAdmin" password either. What would the default username and password be? | 11:11 |
| a4ndr3c | Emof: oh.. sorry but still is very new, maybe it need perfomance tweaks, wait and try it later :P | 11:11 |
| stefano_ | has anyone of you studied theoretical IT and is into encryption? | 11:11 |
| keisangi | how can i modify nautilus side panel shortcuts ? | 11:12 |
| madmike | Emof, it's stable on the Programmers-Interface side... all Tools and applications are still about to be adapted to KDE 4... for most users KDE 4 won't appear "finished" | 11:12 |
| stefano_ | keisangi, the sidepanel automaticall shows you your 'favourites' | 11:12 |
| sp0ro | Anyone have any ideas? | 11:12 |
| madmike | stefano_, what do you need to know? | 11:12 |
| a4ndr3c | madmike: ditto | 11:12 |
| keisangi | stefano_, i would like to remove 3 drives (windows partitions) that i don't use at all .. nautilus put me thoses shortcuts automaticaly, and i would like to remove them.. | 11:13 |
| stefano_ | madmike, i have recieved some coded information and need to decode it, and have have no idea what it's encoded with | 11:13 |
| madmike | Is there some kind of clear-text information indication how it was encriptet? | 11:14 |
| sp0ro | Actually, does anyone know what could be causing the remote access login screen in the first place? | 11:14 |
| sp0ro | Would it be Apache or ? | 11:14 |
| stefano_ | keisangi, that you have to do in the gconf-editor, but an easier way is to get the tool "ubuntu-tweak", just google for it | 11:14 |
| Emof | I also have a small problem with my gnome desktop; Whenever I want to shutdown/restart/logout, I have to do it twice for the system to recognize it | 11:14 |

| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 11:40 |
| randompolygamy | Ok Kirk i got an issue i just apt-get WINE alright installed it and everything and now when i go to place it doesnt open anything. ill go to my home folder desktop you name it it will not open it | 11:40 |
| madmike | frawfraw, when ubuntu asks about the *keyring* it doesn't mean your routers ssid... it means the password for the keyring where you ssid is (or will be) saved | 11:40 |

| Flynsarmy | pete2: My apologies there was one. says: search Bigpond \n\n nameserver 10.0.0.138 where \n are newlines | 11:41 |
| ubotu | k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 11:41 |

| frawfraw | madmike: then it asks for the WAP key anyway | 11:41 |
| randompolygamy | Ok Kirk i got an issue i just apt-get WINE alright installed it and everything and now when i go to place it doesnt open anything. ill go to my home folder desktop you name it it will not open it | 11:41 |
| randompolygamy | Somone highlight me if they are talking to me about this issue | 11:42 |
| madmike | frawfraw, probably the password to the keyring was wrong so it can't access it | 11:42 |
| a4ndr3c | frawfraw: WAP? do u mean WPA? | 11:42 |
| pete2 | Flynsarmy: set only nameserver IP and try | 11:42 |

| Symmetria | madmike for the root of the ftp directory :) | 11:55 |
| Flynsarmy | pete2: How would i go about doing that? | 11:55 |

| jussi01 | ljsmithx: ths is really not the place... try ##windows maybe? | 11:55 |
| ljsmithx | ok | 11:55 |
| Symmetria | heh madmike ftp.mirror.ac.za :) | 11:55 |
| madmike | Symmetria, seems to be THE ftp directory ;) | 11:56 |

| madmike | Symmetria, I hope you will engrave the result of this somewhere... poor mirror doing all this work ;) | 11:57 |

| Xintruder | anyone here experiancing memmory leakage because of compiz? | 11:57 |
| Symmetria | heh madmike *laugh* I make it work slightly harder than this normally | 11:58 |

| ronpaul | research IDS "intrusion detectin system" | 11:58 |
| Symmetria | look at this: | 11:58 |
| randompolygamy | cause my computers doing some weird stuff now and i think i might have been comprimised some how | 11:58 |

| madmike | Symmetria, are you the admin of this thing? | 11:58 |
| Symmetria | madmike *nod* | 11:58 |
| erUSUL | Xintruder: top or free from command line | 11:59 |
| Xintruder | #free from ? | 11:59 |
| crdlb | Xintruder: the nvidia driver has a really bad memory leak when using compiz | 11:59 |
| crdlb | there's not much you can do about it until nvidia fixes it :/ | 11:59 |
| madmike | Symmetria, a proud admin then ;) | 11:59 |
| erUSUL | Xintruder: «top» and «free» are to command line programs | 11:59 |
| Xintruder | crdlb: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl wont fix it? | 11:59 |
| randompolygamy | Symmetria, you got any idea as to why my places menu is un-accesable, as far as it openes but if i click home or desktop or anything it doesnt open at all and it didnt start this untill i just installed WINE via Apt-get | 12:00 |
| crdlb | Xintruder: well Xgl would avoid it, but Xgl itself isn't great | 12:00 |
| Symmetria | heh madmike that box makes me smile :) put a huge amount of effort into making it work nicely and getting the hardware in place etc, and getting ubuntu to play nicely on some of that hardware wasnt easy either | 12:00 |
| Xintruder | crdlb: I have no clue what Im doing...... | 12:00 |
| bjames | hi all, my monitor (LCD TV) is really picky about what resolutions (and refresh rates) it will accept, I know how to specify horizontal refresh rate for a given res (I think "modes 1360x768@47.7"), but how do I specify vertical refresh rates? I want to produce an xorg.conf file for these resolutions: http://www.lyris-lite.net/img/32v/pcres.jpg | 12:00 |
| Symmetria | randompolygamy absolutely no idea, I typically avoid X windows at all cost | 12:00 |
| randompolygamy | Symmetria, yesh figuered as much, you know anyone that would have any idea? | 12:01 |
| Xintruder | crdlb: so If I buy a laptop with intel graphic card, that would be better for compiz? | 12:01 |
| crdlb | Xintruder: Xgl is an X server used by people whose drivers don't support compiz, it's an abstraction layer essentially. | 12:01 |
| Symmetria | random, probably someone in this channel :p | 12:01 |
| randompolygamy | crdlb, you ever had an issue with that that was compiz related? | 12:01 |
| randompolygamy | as far as menues not working | 12:01 |
| yassine_ | any one here can help me ???? | 12:01 |
| erUSUL | !anyone | 12:02 |
| 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? | 12:02 |
| madmike | yassine_, what are you trying to do with crossover? | 12:02 |
| bazhang | yassine_: what is your issue? please be precise | 12:02 |
| crdlb | Xintruder: an intel chip would work very well with compiz, but so should nvidia cards :/ (it's just nvidia's driver that has some issues) | 12:02 |
| Tilllinux | hm, I wanted to try out kde, so I did sudo apt-get install kde . logged out, logged in (kde session) that worked. As I don't like/use it, I'd like to remove it again. How to do that? | 12:02 |
| bjames | sudo apt-get remove kde | 12:02 |
| bjames | ;) | 12:02 |
| Tilllinux | well, that'll just remove the meta package kde | 12:03 |
| Tilllinux | but not the apps that were installed alongside (?) | 12:03 |
| erUSUL | Tilllinux: manually there is no automated way of removing all the dependencies kde installed | 12:03 |
| Xintruder | crdlb: this is annoying. Its been weeks people keep telling me buy a laptop with an nVidia chip, like 10's of people, not one told me there was this problem. | 12:03 |
| yassine_ | madmike, when i try to install the messenger 7.5 form .exe it said that i need windows xp | 12:03 |
| crdlb | Tilllinux: then use sudo apt-get autoremove | 12:03 |
| Xintruder | and all were linux, compiz users | 12:03 |
| Randomtime | pwnt | 12:03 |
| bjames | yassine_: try installing pdgin instead | 12:03 |
| bjames | or using wine | 12:03 |

| bjames | pidgin* | 12:03 |
| randompolygamy | man this is fubar!!!!!!! | 12:04 |
| Randomtime | (Wine is not an emulator) | 12:04 |
| madmike | yassin, you need to configure crossover to tell it is "windows xp"... probably it is set to "windows 95/98" | 12:04 |

| bjames | GAIM is depricated | 12:05 |

| randompolygamy | thats right u know what, i edited my Nutilus for compiz | 12:05 |

| Symmetria | and as far as I know nautilis is a graphical application | 12:08 |

| Randomtime | sp0ro, interesting, updated? | 12:10 |
| sp0ro | Randomtime: The title of the website shows up like it loaded, but nothing shows up on my screen. The site was working less than 15 mins ago. All other websites work fine. | 12:10 |
| bazhang | g0th: using firefox? or system wide | 12:10 |

| g0th | I need them mainly for a wine application | 12:10 |
| madmike | B-rabbit, how comes you don't know services you installed? | 12:10 |
| bazhang | g0th: do you have the various language packs installed? | 12:10 |
| Randomtime | tifine: http://hardware4linux.info/component/28120/ | 12:10 |
| g0th | hmm I don't think so | 12:10 |
| g0th | though I installed all kinds of fonts | 12:11 |
| g0th | (really a lot) | 12:11 |
| g0th | basically all ttf fonts that had chinese japanese or korean in the description | 12:11 |
| B-rabbit | madmike, err ... i didn't install the service (telnet), but i think its something to do with my router, | 12:11 |
| g0th | bazhang: what do you mean by "various language packs" ? | 12:11 |
| B-rabbit | madmike, i think its my router that is running the service | 12:12 |
| B-rabbit | mot my pc | 12:12 |
| B-rabbit | not my pc | 12:12 |
| tifine | <Randomtime> so i need to install the z600 drivers ! | 12:12 |
| bazhang | g0th: there should be a menu setting called region and and accessibility (not sure of the gnome equivalent) that will let you choose which languages are correctly displayed on your system | 12:12 |
| Randomtime | tifine: seems like it... | 12:12 |
| madmike | B-rabbit, maybe you can shutdown the telnet-server by web-interface | 12:12 |
| tifine | <Randomtime>ok | 12:12 |
| Randomtime | tifine: You might want to ask Lexmark to offer Linux drivers in the future | 12:13 |
| B-rabbit | madmike, how is that possible? | 12:13 |
| madmike | B-rabbit, but you should be okay... telnet should onyl be accessible from the LAN side not from the internet | 12:13 |
| B-rabbit | oh ic | 12:13 |
| bazhang | g0th: if you need to type input in those languages then you should also install scim and the various plugins for it; scim-pinyin as one example | 12:13 |
| Randomtime | tifine: The more we pound at the door, the more likely they realise we are serious | 12:13 |
| g0th | I don't need to type input | 12:13 |
| madmike | B-rabbit, every router web interface is different... i dont' know... just open a browser and type its IP adresse and see what options you have | 12:14 |
| tifine | <Randomtime> they r just like they think the windows is the best and always provide their drivers | 12:14 |
| madmike | B-rabbit, else you might need to read the fine router-manual ;) | 12:14 |
| g0th | just to view, and I didn't find "region and accessibility" or any settings where I can select asian fonts | 12:14 |
| g0th | hmm ohh | 12:14 |
| g0th | I missed language support below | 12:14 |
| g0th | *g* | 12:14 |
| Randomtime | tifine: Yh, but keep trying, it helps | 12:14 |

| madmike | B-rabbit, the ISP won't help here, if it is your router the password is set by the manufacturer and *will* be written down in the manual | 12:19 |

| madmike | randompolygamy, you could open a terminal and type, ps ef| grep nautilus | 12:25 |
| erUSUL | kranny: if the answer is x86_64 you are on 64 bit if its i686 you are on 32 bit | 12:25 |

| labinnsw | Thanks, vlt | 12:25 |

| madmike | randompolygamy, if it outputs the same command nautilus is nor running (or hanging) | 12:25 |
| vlt | konrad: I don't know the command but you can use "=" in the aptitude UI to set the other pkgs "on hold". | 12:26 |

| ompaul | guzu, ask in #xubuntu they know their menus - you can ctrl-alt-del and wait for the box to hit grub and get into "single" user mode from there - and choose recovery when there do sudo apt-get install rcconf and use that to turn off xdm | 12:59 |

| madmike | Jarhyn, Googel says: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/prevent-xorg-from-starting-in-linux/ | 13:02 |

| madmike | Pirate_Hunter, it depends on the packages you are about to install on what it will propose | 13:05 |
| ompaul | alpha232, best VPN imho is openvpn you can install it from the repos, and then read the FAQ on the openvpn site to make it work - brilliant | 13:05 |
| alpha232 | DRebellion: its kind of an odd setup but.. NetworkA is on the internet but also has a private subnet. NetworkB is behind multiple nats. I need a computer on network B to make a connection to the public address of a computer on NetworkA so computers on NetworkA can route through the private address to NetworkB | 13:05 |
| madmike | Pirate_Hunter, generally it means they are not necessary but might be useful | 13:06 |
| alpha232 | DRebellion: NetworkB is windows XP, NetworkA has a ubuntu host | 13:06 |
| Kalamansi | !firestarter | 13:06 |
| ubotu | 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). | 13:06 |

| ompaul | alpha232, have a look at the FAQ on openvpn.net | 13:08 |
| alpha232 | ompaul: looking now... | 13:08 |
| alpha232 | it just needs to be fairly automatic and transparent | 13:08 |

| randompolygamy | Guys im installing counterstrike and i cannot eject the disk because of wine... its telling me that i cannot eject is because some applications is using it, but yet i have to eject it to complete the instalation of the game.. so WTH am i supposed to do? | 13:09 |
| DRebellion | randompolygamy: kill all the wine processes | 13:09 |
| DRebellion | randompolygamy: oh | 13:09 |
| randompolygamy | DRebellion, wont that cancel the instalation? | 13:09 |
| NET||abuse | ompaul, ok, thanks.. | 13:09 |
| DRebellion | randompolygamy: didn't read the last bit properly. that's a sticky situation | 13:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | madmike: kk than i dont need it | 13:10 |

| Kalamansi | th0r : okay | 13:45 |
| elbermungsterses | could you please help me? i want to enable the hardy respitories | 13:45 |
| valemon | in which repo can I find keb? | 13:45 |
| valemon | #k3b | 13:45 |
| pete1 | jack , fails how ? | 13:45 |
| Ziroda1 | Noodels: here a video describing it http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Installing_Ubuntu_with_Windows_Dual-Boot | 13:45 |
| asathoor | Kalamansi >> I can see that the network is ok, and you do have an ip adress | 13:45 |
| asathoor | can you ping the other mashine? | 13:45 |
| Ziroda1 | elbermungsterses: for #ubuntu+1 | 13:46 |
| th0r | Kalamansi do you need ipv6 on eth1...if not I would suggest you turn it off. | 13:46 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : my eth0 is connected to the net.. and eth1 is my extra nic then i dont know why firestarter wont run... failed to start firewall .. the device is not ready | 13:46 |
| Noodels | Okay, thanks Zirodal, I shall try this. | 13:46 |
| jack | pete1: i think it is GTK+ that fails | 13:46 |
| th0r | Kalamansi are you using eth1 btw? or is everything going through eth0? | 13:46 |
| pete1 | jack , u tried both live cd and alternate cd ? | 13:46 |
| asathoor | Kalamansi >> I think Firestarter should be reconfigured. | 13:46 |
| elbermungsterses | oh, and i have a problem installing clamav | 13:46 |
| jetscreamer | jack, the alternate cd is the text one | 13:47 |
| jetscreamer | cd/dvd | 13:47 |
| asathoor | Kalamansi >> have to go, sorry... | 13:47 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : i attach my modem isp cable to my built-in nic eth0 .. then on the second nic connected to switch then pc2 | 13:47 |
| asathoor | 8-) bye | 13:47 |
| Kalamansi | asathoor : its okay thanks | 13:47 |
| Ziroda1 | elbermungsterses: specifics.... | 13:47 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : i already configured my firestarter. local network is eth1. | 13:48 |
| rinaldi_ | hi, whenever i copy files to or from my windows hard drive my computer just shuts off... also while booting windows my computer shuts off. is this an overheating problem or is my windows hard drive dying? | 13:48 |
| pete1 | anyone here using HP MFP printer/scanner ? | 13:48 |
| elbermungsterses | it always says "error: dependencies not met" or something and i have everything it needs installed. | 13:48 |
| th0r | Kalamansi right, the firewall won't kick in until you get an ip address. The 169.254 address is the broadcast address used to get an ip address from a dhcp server. What is eth1 facing, a wifi hub or some such? you might have to give it a static ip address if there isn't a dhcp server out there to do it for you | 13:48 |
| xoqa | where are the logs for iptables located? | 13:48 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: yes | 13:48 |
| jack | jetscreamer: i tried both cds, they both fail, my last attempt was installing a command line system, this worked but i dont know how to proceed | 13:48 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: did u get your scanner to work from mfp ? | 13:48 |
| Ziroda1 | elbermungsterses: can you please paste the exact error in pastebin | 13:48 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: yes. | 13:49 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: what HP model are u using ? | 13:49 |
| th0r | Kalamansi right...if you only have a switch and a pc out there, you are going to have to give eth1 a static ip address. Are you using network-manager ? | 13:49 |
| jack | pete1: jetscreamer: i think the hardware on new laptops have become protected that only vista will work on them | 13:49 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : its not a wifi hub... its CNET switch 8 ports.... | 13:49 |
| pete1 | jack, no way :) | 13:49 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: HP Photosmart C6100 | 13:49 |
| === playya is now known as derfreibierfred | ||
| xoqa | anyone? | 13:49 |
| jetscreamer | jack: no, they're just too new no hw support in the cd probably | 13:49 |
| jetscreamer | jack: goodbye-windows.com | 13:50 |
| xoqa | an answer maybe | 13:50 |
| valemon | anyone? | 13:50 |
| jetscreamer | works for me | 13:50 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : network-manager or network settings of firestarter? yes i am using network settings of firestarter | 13:50 |
| Ziroda1 | jack: if you have a command line system and are wondering how to continu you should do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 13:50 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: i have HP M1005 MFP, but scanner is not detected, printer runs fine,how did u manage to get it working ? | 13:50 |
| jack | so what shall i do? | 13:50 |
| xoqa | a little hint | 13:50 |
| xoqa | for the 'ol n00b :) | 13:50 |
| jetscreamer | jack: i think goodbye-windows.com supports ubuntu installs also | 13:50 |
| jetscreamer | not sure | 13:50 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: its on a network, just fired up kscan and it detected it, and bingo | 13:50 |
| th0r | Kalamansi you will also have to assign an ip address to pc2 on the switch as well. Unless you configure a dhcp server you will have to manually assign ip addresses to each computer on the network.. | 13:51 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : so i will copy the static ip of eth0? since my isp gave me a static ip and dns then gateway | 13:51 |
| xoqa | you know, a little ;) eeh? | 13:51 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: lucky you :) | 13:51 |
| xoqa | some iptable log location action | 13:51 |
| th0r | Kalamansi no.....you cannot have more than one interface on each ip.....stay with me and I will talk you through it | 13:51 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : do i need to sudo apt-get install dhcp ? i am afraid to messed up again my ubuntu | 13:51 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: can i have that model number again? | 13:51 |
| jetscreamer | looks experimental though .. http://goodbye-windows.com/downloads/linux/ubuntu/ | 13:51 |
| jack | i executed install ubuntu-desktop and it is asking me to put in Fawsty Fawn CD :S | 13:51 |
| ubi451 | I'm running ubuntu-7.10 on a dell vostro 400 desktop. I would like to burn an iso image to a CD. But when I put a blank CD-R in the burner, nautilus does not open a window. Any suggestions? | 13:51 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : i am with you | 13:51 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: it is laser/color printer ? yes, HP M1005 MFP | 13:52 |
| th0r | Kalamansi no, you do not need dhcp. In fact, I prefer to assign static ips to my internal network...makes life easier. | 13:52 |
| jetscreamer | jack: that is because your sources.list is pointed at the cd | 13:52 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: usb detects only printer which works ok | 13:52 |
| jetscreamer | jack: add some repositories | 13:52 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : yes you are right. better to use local ip assigned.. | 13:52 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: usually hp printers are well supported in linix as hp has pledged and does write drivers for them | 13:52 |
| jack | by nano-ing the sources.list? | 13:52 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : do you want me to replace my eht1 card? and see if it will work or restart ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| pete1 | jack , /etc/apt/sources.list and #cd repository | 13:53 |
| jetscreamer | yeh.. nano -w is better though | 13:53 |
| jetscreamer | no word wrap | 13:53 |
| sissec1 | Hi does anyone know how to mount a CD image in ubuntu? tried the gmount-iso but the real problem is that some of my images are in .img instead of .iso | 13:53 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: yea, printer is suported with np, but scanner on MFP is problem | 13:53 |
| th0r | Kalamansi no...if you will just be patient I will explain it to you. | 13:53 |
| Matrix | hello Im trying to duel bboot Ubuntu with Xp and im following this tutorial http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp but after iw selectet /dev/hda1 as boot i restart and get Error loading operation system | 13:53 |

| [Chief] | hey, how can I enable logrotate in Ubuntu Server 7.10? | 13:54 |
| jack | all my repos are feisty, shall i change that to gutsy? | 13:54 |
| moad | hello , my internet connection keeps crashing every 10-15 minutes , what is the problem ? | 13:54 |
| pete1 | _jack u using feisty or gutsy ? | 13:55 |
| javaccen | hi, my ubuntu forgets my network is WPA2 every time I reboot, how to fix? | 13:55 |
| sissec1 | moad could you give a little more info? | 13:55 |
| Webu | Excuse me, how can i upgrade just one package on command line without using that sudo apt-get upgrade (which upgrades all of them)? | 13:55 |
| jack | i want gutsy and i thought i hat the gutsy dvd but the repos are feisty | 13:55 |
| th0r | Kalamansi the 123.4.567.xxx address your isp gave you is an address in THEIR network. All that isp's addresses will start with 123.4 you need to create a private network for yourself. Your network will start with 192.168.5; that will give you 256 addresses to use in your private network. Firestarter has nothing to do with this part....we will get to firestarter later. | 13:55 |
| pete1 | jack, if u downloaded gutsy, repos cant be feisty | 13:56 |
| moad | i have an ECI router modem , its connected directly to the phone plug and into the ethernet card , i have configured the connection with pppoeconf and put the right username and pass | 13:56 |
| moad | when i finish that i have a normal connection , everything is fine | 13:56 |
| jack | ok, i'll deal with the updgrade later, i will see if i can install ubuntu-desktop now | 13:56 |
| Xintruder | hi | 13:56 |
| Matrix | (ill try agein) hello Im trying to duel bboot Ubuntu with Xp and im following this tutorial http://apcmag.com/5459/dualboot_ubuntu_and_windows_xp but after iw selectet /dev/hda1 as boot i restart and get Error loading operation system | 13:57 |
| th0r | Kalamansi so...you will need to assign addresses to each computer that start with 192.168.5; I would suggest 192.158.5.20 and 192.168.5.21 but you can pick others if you like. I would stay away from .1 and .10 as they are often used. And if you add wifi you will also have to assign an address to the wifi hub, or let it take over the whole job as dhcp server | 13:57 |
| moad | but suddenly after 10-15 minutes the connection stop sna di have to disconnect/reconnect again | 13:57 |
| punkshui | i'm having problems with trying to reduce power consumption on my laptop. i'm using powertop and have done all that it recommends and am still getting around 400 wakeups per second | 13:57 |
| punkshui | my battery life is severely reduced please help | 13:57 |
| |Dreams| | anyone know of a good program or the command to encode a avi to 3g please | 13:57 |
| Ziroda1 | okay pete1, from what I can understand HP has not created any drivers for this device, it relies on a 3rd party driver foo2xqx, now those drivers do not support scanning at all. Now there has been a sane backend written but it is extremely experimental and really really hard to install | 13:57 |
| punkshui | |Dreams| handbrake | 13:57 |
| th0r | Kalamansi so, in network-manager you should be able to configure a static ip address for your computer. Once you have that configured...you tell firestarter about your network so it can allow/disallow things properly | 13:57 |
| th0r | Kalamansi you with me so far? | 13:58 |
| jack | LOLOL I have another problem now | 13:58 |
| Xintruder | what do I do to run .rv files in ubuntu? | 13:58 |
| jack | the system does not recognize my LAN | 13:58 |
| sissec1 | moad. Dont know what that could be, are you sure that its ubuntu thats creating the problems? | 13:58 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : yeah doing it right now on the pc2 | 13:58 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: yea, i am on that part atm (scanner) :) and is damn hard | 13:58 |
| |Dreams| | thank you | 13:58 |
| Webu | Excuse me, how can i upgrade just one package on command line without using that "sudo apt-get upgrade" (which upgrades all of them)? | 13:58 |
| moad | yeah i am sure , it never happened with me with windows | 13:58 |
| hk2999 | hi. could anyone direct me to a good lan chat program for ubuntu that also communicates with windows? | 13:58 |
| hk2999 | not taking much resources is a + | 13:59 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: well i can give you a guide but no promises it will work, and you will probably have latter issues with ubuntu | 13:59 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: heres a guide http://www.nabble.com/sane-driver-for-hp-laserjet-m1005-mfp-to12469670.html | 13:59 |
| th0r | Kalamansi ok. Just a note for later....if you give each computer a name, and add that name and the ip address to the file /etc/hosts, then you can call each computer by name instead of ip...for instance you could start ftp with the command 'ftp <nname> instead of 'ftp <ip>'...kind of a neat geeky thing | 14:00 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : what is the default gateway and subnet for pc2? | 14:00 |
| punkshui | i'm having problems with trying to reduce power consumption on my laptop. i'm using powertop and have done all that it recommends and am still getting around 400 wakeups per second | 14:00 |
| punkshui | my battery life is severely reduced please help | 14:00 |
| Xintruder | any ideas or tutorial in how to run .rv files in ubuntu? | 14:00 |
| th0r | Kalamansi the subnet will be 255.255.255.0, and pc1 will be the gateway | 14:00 |
| moad | sissec1: is there any error log in ubuntu that can show me whats wrong ? | 14:00 |
| th0r | Kalamansi if you want pc2 to get out to the net through pc1 then you will have to do a little routing...but that is a problem for later | 14:01 |
| sissec1 | moad: Dont know, havent really had problems with network/internet in ubuntu so never looked for one | 14:01 |
| mettao87 | hi | 14:01 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : wait... pc1 is my ubuntu server right? what ip and default gateway and subnet i will assign to my pc2? | 14:01 |
| pete1 | Ziroda1: yes i was trying that but no luck yet, i contacted mr santiago and he send me some updates, but still no luck with it | 14:02 |
| moad | sissec1: if i remember well , everytime this happens , Gaim stays online , but firefox freezes and other things that require an internet connection freeze too , any ideas ? | 14:02 |
| mettao87 | i've installed ubuntustudio in text mode, because i've done an error. now, how can i use it in desktop mode? | 14:02 |
| edson | t | 14:02 |
| th0r | Kalamansi pc1 is 192.168.5.20 and pc2 is 192.168.5.21. For each the subnet is 255.255.255.0 and for pc2 the gateway is 192.168.5.20 | 14:02 |
| cleaton | mettao87, with text mode, do you mean the alternate cd? | 14:03 |
| sissec1 | moad: nop sorry, sounds pretty strange. But dont know how to solve it. Good luck with it though | 14:03 |
| Ziroda1 | pete1: ah well then you've got farther than I ever could, thats all I know sorry. Good Luck | 14:03 |
| moad | sissed1: okay , thanks anyway :) | 14:03 |
| Pelo | mettao87, I think there is an #ubuntustudio channel | 14:03 |
| bullgard4 | Where will a (daily) cronjob make a /var/log/ entry after it executed the job successfully? | 14:03 |
| a7p | hi everyone ... | 14:04 |
| mettao87 | <cleaton>: yes | 14:04 |
| pete1 | ok , many tnx for help Ziroda1 | 14:04 |
| moad | anyone else who can help me with my internet connection ? t keeps crashing every 10-15 minutes and ia lways have to reconnect | 14:04 |
| a7p | these new kde4 packages in the updates-repo of gusty ... does anyone know where I can find additional information on them? | 14:04 |
| Pelo | bullgard4, test with an hourly or minutely job, you'll know | 14:04 |
| hk2999 | hi. could anyone direct me to a good lan chat program for ubuntu that also communicates with windows? | 14:04 |
| mettao87 | i know pelo, but noboby speaks in that channell | 14:04 |
| cleaton | mettao87, it's just the instller that is in text mode, when you have installed and rebooted it should be graphical | 14:04 |
| Ziroda1 | a7p: in the kde mailing list, please ask for more information in #kubuntu | 14:04 |
| Pelo | mettao87, not all channels are as busy as this one , you need patience | 14:05 |
| mettao87 | cleaton: unfortunately, it shouldn't | 14:05 |
| cleaton | mettao87, atleast that's the case for ubuntu, i haven't tried the ubuntu studio cd, but i'm gussing it should be the same | 14:05 |
| cleaton | mettao87, you get to an terminal/console? | 14:05 |
| a7p | Ziroda1, okay, thx, I will do (already found something usable in the wiki. | 14:05 |
| th0r | Kalamansi another note for later. NEVER let the 192.168 addresses out on the web. Firestarter should make sure of that assuming it is configured correctly. | 14:05 |
| mettao87 | cleaton, what? | 14:06 |
| bullgard4 | Pelo: Your answer was not helpful. | 14:06 |
| cleaton | mettao87, what happens when you boot? where does it get stuck if you can't get to graphical | 14:06 |
| hk2999 | moad: call your isp. | 14:06 |
| hk2999 | tell them they suck... :) | 14:07 |
| hk2999 | then ask what's wrong. | 14:07 |
| mykas0 | hi everyone | 14:07 |
| mettao87 | when i boot it starts in text mode and i see the terminal | 14:07 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : okay pc2 is 192.168.5.21 and gateway is 192.168.5.20 | 14:07 |
| cleaton | mettao87, ok, try typing startx | 14:07 |
| Webu | How can i upgrade just one package on command line without using that "sudo apt-get upgrade" (which upgrades all of them)? | 14:07 |
| mykas0 | Listen... for some personal reasons, I have to reinstall my Ubuntu - should I go for 7.10 or 8.04 ? | 14:07 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : how to setup 192.168.5.20 in pc1 (my server ubuntu pc1) ? | 14:07 |
| jrib | mykas0: 7.10 | 14:08 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : the one we type before with bulmer? | 14:08 |
| cleaton | mykas0, 8.04 is alpha, not enduser ready | 14:08 |
| Pelo | bullgard4, program your same daily cronjob , but make it run hourly a few minutes from now, then check in /var/log/system to see if the cronjob made an entry | 14:08 |
| mykas0 | cleaton, I know that (I'm a Computer Science student), but my problem is... will I later be able to upgrade to the next alpha(s), and eventually the final version ? | 14:09 |
| jrib | mykas0: yes, but you don't want to run development versions unless you are developing or testing | 14:09 |
| Pelo | mykas0, try asking in #ubuntu+1 they know how this works | 14:09 |
| tato | Hello, I've installed Firefox 3 Beta 2, but the fonts are not as smooth as they were in Firefox 2, anyone have dealt with this and know how to make them smooth? | 14:09 |
| mykas0 | ok, thanks | 14:09 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : this one ... sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 ? for pc1 server ubuntu? | 14:09 |
| roci | does somebody know where is source code for commnad date? | 14:09 |
| javaccen | smooth font ok | 14:09 |
| th0r | Kalamansi pc1 will be 192.168.5.20 with subnet 255.255.255.0. For pc1 you will need to set up some routing. I know how to do it manually, but there should be some neat ubuntu gui for it...maybe someone else watching here can jump in and help with that. But first....have you set up the ip address for pc1 and pc2? are they ready to go? | 14:09 |
| hk2999 | mykas0: yes | 14:09 |
| mettao87 | cleaton: xinit package isn't installed. now i install it and probably it will be right. | 14:10 |
| th0r | Kalamansi not eth0...eth1 | 14:10 |
| jrib | roci: do: apt-get source $(dpkg -S $(which date)) | 14:10 |
| th0r | Kalamansi eth0 is facing the internet (isp) | 14:10 |
| jrib | maybe | 14:10 |
| cleaton | mettao87, ok, hm sounds like your installation was incomplete | 14:10 |
| Xintruder | does the processor affect the speed of compiz? | 14:10 |
| roci | jrib, do it for me, I am not on ubuntu right know | 14:10 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : so this is correct for eth1 ? sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.5.20 netmask 255.255.255.0? | 14:10 |
| cleaton | mettao87, you got no errors? | 14:10 |
| mettao87 | cleaton: no | 14:10 |
| th0r | Kalamansi yes...that will do for now | 14:10 |
| cleaton | mettao87, while installing | 14:10 |
| cleaton | Xintruder, yes it can | 14:11 |
| punkshui | anyone here have a macbook that could send me a copy of AppleUSBVideoSupport? it's firmware for the isight | 14:11 |
| Xintruder | cleaton: Celeron 530 1.73 GHz 533 MHz FSB 1 MB L2 , is this ok to run compiz? | 14:11 |
| mettao87 | cleaton: is for that i ask why it stops in text mode. | 14:11 |
| jrib | roci: you grab the source for a package by doing 'apt-get source PACKAGE'. You can't do that if you are not in ubuntu. So, you have to search for the source for "coreutils". Maybe packages.ubuntu.com can help | 14:12 |
| cleaton | Xintruder, it should do well =), i've seen p3 800mhz do compiz well | 14:12 |
| Xplicit | is there an easy way to find all the proceses that a window is using? | 14:12 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : then after sudo ifconfig eth1 192.168.5.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 is echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ? | 14:12 |
| Xplicit | for bonus credit is there an easy way to renice them all? | 14:12 |
| Pelo | Xplicit, you can try the dependency view in the system manager | 14:12 |
| cleaton | mettao87, did it work after isntalling the missing package? | 14:12 |
| th0r | Kalamansi that is part of setting up the forwarding, yes | 14:13 |
| cleaton | mettao87, what graphics card do you have? | 14:13 |
| Pelo | Xplicit, nice will apply to all the dep when you start the ap with nice | 14:13 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : after that will be this sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE ? | 14:13 |
| Xplicit | Pelo: will it work if i renice? | 14:13 |
| bnex10 | #garo-shells | 14:13 |
| bnex10 | sry | 14:14 |
| th0r | Kalamansi that sets up the firewall. You don' t need it at this moment, but yes it looks ok and will eventually be needed | 14:14 |
| Pelo | Xplicit, renice ? ... not sure what that is but in system monitor you can manualy adjust the priority of each process | 14:14 |
| DRebellion | !appdb > randompolygamy | 14:14 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : so i will do this last part sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE? no? | 14:14 |
| === cleaton is now known as cleaton-afk | ||
| th0r | Kalamansi yes you can do that now. | 14:14 |
| === cleaton-afk is now known as cleaton_afk | ||
| Kalamansi | th0r : okay done | 14:15 |
| xst | It seems completely impossible to print on a paper that has an unusual size, e.g. 13x18 cm: Every way I try to print a PDF of that size results in a print with a wrong offset - as if the printer insist that the paper size is A4 or letter. What to do? | 14:15 |
| mettao87 | cleaton: no, it doesn't work after installing. i'll try to install all the system again. probably i've done errors during the installation. | 14:15 |
| th0r | Kalamansi then you should be able to ping from pc1 to pc2 and from pc2 to pc1. If the pings work...your private network is set up. | 14:15 |

| Noodels | Does that mean I need to download it and burn another cd? | 14:17 |

| th0r | Kalamansi right...pc1 needs a route to pc2. Try this...'sudo route add 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1 | 14:19 |
| th0r | Kalamansi in pc1...the server | 14:19 |
| erawfish | th0r: it doesn't need a manual route if the IP is set up right since the damn thing is int he same subnet | 14:19 |
| snicky | Hi I have a question | 14:19 |
| Pelo | snicky, just ask and hope for an answer | 14:19 |
| th0r | erawfish first...no need to be an ass. Second...it doesn't ping so it was a quick check | 14:20 |
| erawfish | heck you don't need nat either | 14:20 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : route: netmask 000000ff doesn't make sense with host route | 14:20 |
| Kalamansi | Usage: route [-nNvee] [-FC] [<AF>] List kernel routing tabl | 14:20 |
| snicky | I know that I have g++ installed but dont know how to start | 14:20 |
| astro76 | erawfish: it most certainly will respond to pings | 14:20 |
| snicky | how do i start programming in c++ in the terminal | 14:20 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : pc2 have no internet connectio but can ping 192.168.5.20 | 14:20 |
| erawfish | astro76: no XP will if properly updated. the SP2 firewall blocks them | 14:20 |
| Pelo | snicky, try asking in #c++ if no one here has the answer | 14:20 |
| th0r | Kalamansi yeah...dns problem...will fix it shortly. Lets get pc1 talking to pc2. | 14:20 |
| snicky | ok thanks.... | 14:21 |
| th0r | Kalamansi type 'route' and pastebin the output | 14:21 |
| erawfish | snicky: with "g++" of course | 14:21 |
| snicky | how do i start g++ in the terminal...sorry i am a noob | 14:22 |
| jack | pete1: i am going to make one last attempt with alternate cd installation | 14:22 |
| Hypergraphe | g++ | 14:22 |
| Hypergraphe | :p | 14:22 |
| snicky | I am trying #c++ | 14:22 |
| Pelo | snicky, try typing g++ in the terminal | 14:22 |
| Hypergraphe | g++ source.c -o output | 14:22 |
| snicky | one moment | 14:22 |
| erawfish | snicky: you write a C++ source file, usually called "file.cpp", get ab IDE. Try to install "rawhide" | 14:22 |
| snicky | this is what i get | 14:22 |
| snicky | snicky@snicky-desktop:~$ g++ | 14:22 |
| snicky | g++: no input files | 14:22 |
| snicky | snicky@snicky-desktop:~$ | 14:22 |
| erawfish | snicky: C++ is only a compiler. get rawhide, an IDE | 14:23 |
| BoomSie | snicky ... g++ is the command g++, what do you want? | 14:23 |
| BoomSie | you have it installed | 14:23 |
| snicky | is eclipse good for c++? | 14:23 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : http://pastebin.com/m194007e9 | 14:23 |
| erawfish | snicky: eclipse only runs under X, but yes you can use it for C++ | 14:23 |
| snicky | i want to start programming c++ in ubuntu | 14:23 |
| Hypergraphe | snicky, g++ is a command line | 14:23 |
| Hypergraphe | it needs arguments | 14:23 |
| th0r | Kalamansi looks good. let's get the dns fixed and see if we can get pc2 on the net | 14:24 |
| Hypergraphe | g++ source.cc -o execFile | 14:24 |
| erawfish | snicky: geth anjutah, kdevelop, rawhide or eclipse | 14:24 |

| punkshui | anyone here have a macbook that could send me a copy of AppleUSBVideoSupport? it's firmware for the isight | 14:24 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : thanks | 14:24 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : okay still pinging 192.168.5.20 | 14:24 |
| th0r | Kalamansi in pc1 type 'cat /etc/resolv.conf'. You should see some 'nameservers'. Those addresses are the dns servers for pc2 | 14:24 |
| astro76 | punkshui: couldn't you get that from apple? | 14:24 |
| bpurgari | Hi, what would u recommend for playin mp3 files under gnome?.. i used amarok on kde, but it doesnt come with ubuntu | 14:24 |
| Rprp | How can i stream music to a shoutcast/icecast server? | 14:24 |
| astro76 | bpurgari: you can install it | 14:24 |
| snicky | ok I think I will go with any of those IDE's | 14:24 |
| punkshui | astro76 i don't have mac os x | 14:24 |
| th0r | Kalamansi there should be at least one...maybe two | 14:25 |
| astro76 | punkshui: I meant from their website, and if not it's probably not redistributable | 14:25 |
| snicky | I dint download any of them, I thought it was possible to program c++ right in the terminal | 14:25 |
| erawfish | Rprp: icecast is the server thas streams. you dont stream music TO it but FROM it | 14:25 |
| snicky | thanks guys | 14:25 |
| erawfish | snicky: it is | 14:25 |
| bpurgari | astro76: i know, but was wondering is there anything else native for gnome with similar functions (playlists, downloading covers... etc) | 14:25 |
| Kalamansi | th0r: nameserver 37.69.252.11 | 14:25 |
| Rprp | erawfish: I mean 'Dj'ing' or something. | 14:26 |
| th0r | Kalamansi ok...in pc2 there is a tab for configuring the dns servers...you need to add that one | 14:26 |
| Rodolfo | hey! can anyone tell me what the terminal is really asking for when it mentions "No package 'xvmc' found"? (i want to install a video driver on my Ubuntu GR 7.10, however there are packages from xvmc already installed). help... | 14:26 |
| astro76 | bpurgari: well rhythmbox is the one that comes with gnome | 14:26 |
| erawfish | Rodolfo: what command? | 14:26 |
| Rodolfo | erawfish: excuse me? | 14:27 |
| astro76 | Rodolfo: what command did you run to get this error? | 14:27 |
| erawfish | Rodolfo: you entered a command in your terminal to get that message? which command? | 14:27 |
| Rodolfo | ./configure when i finished unzipping the video driver. | 14:28 |
| th0r | Kalamansi once you add that address (no reboot necessary) you should be able to get out on the net from pc2 | 14:28 |
| Hypergraphe | do you know where i can find assembly instructions set for my core2duo processor ? | 14:28 |
| Rodolfo | its a dependency, i think....i can't go on | 14:28 |
| erawfish | Rodolfo: driver for what exactly? | 14:28 |
| bpurgari | astro76: thnx, checking it now, and since i got another problem ill just ask right away, any idea why my usb keyboard doesnt work when i plug it in (working on a laptop but i wanna have my old keyboard) | 14:28 |
| erawfish | Hypergraphe: http://www.sandpile.org/ | 14:29 |
| Hypergraphe | thx | 14:29 |

| erawfish | Kalamansi: ping 72.14.207.99 | 14:31 |
| th0r | Kalamansi it is probably in that masquerade command for iptables...I would have to research that but need to run soon as I have an appt. | 14:31 |
| jrib | Rodolfo: are you sure the xserver-xorg-video-intel package does not provide what you want? | 14:31 |
| Fixer | ._. | 14:31 |
| astro76 | jaggy: that's probably the wrong approach, how about: gnome-terminal --working-directory=/path/to/directory/ | 14:31 |
| jaggy | ok astro i'll test it :)à | 14:32 |
| Rodolfo | jrib: well i got the update from today. but it didn't solve my problem: bad performance when running CF. | 14:32 |
| erawfish | Kalamansi: why don't you install ipmasq? it's what ispurpose made for you | 14:32 |
| jrib | Rodolfo: CF? | 14:32 |
| Kalamansi | th0r :this is what i used sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE | 14:32 |
| Rodolfo | jrib: compiz-fiusion | 14:32 |
| reeper_ | hello world | 14:32 |

| htmljunkie | nah | 14:39 |
| htmljunkie | easy install | 14:39 |
| htmljunkie | grub takes care of it | 14:39 |
| th0r | Kalamansi you can get to the internet now from pc2 right...you have all that working now? Then the next step would be to install samba and swat, that will allow you to share folders with xp | 14:39 |
| htmljunkie | you won't have any issues | 14:40 |

| Noodels | I appear to be in a bad situation. I mentioned earlier that the ubuntu livecd kept crashing, well it seemed fine a few minutes ago so I got most of the way through the install, I finished the partitioning and about 85% of the way through the install it crashed, should I switch off and wait for the alternative cd and then install it over the partitions created there or wipe the partitions and restore them to how they wer | 14:40 |
| Noodels | e and start over with the alternative, or just leave it on for a while and hope it fixes itself? | 14:40 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : can we just not use the dns ip add of my isp? im afraid if someone will ping my dns | 14:40 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : is it posibble th0r? or dangerous to put my isp's dns? | 14:41 |
| th0r | Kalamansi you don't have a dns...the dns is outside...and not a problem for you | 14:41 |

| th0r | Kalamansi you talking about samba? that is just internally sharing....doesn't go out on the web unless you want it to | 14:42 |
| Kalamansi | th0r : no i mean the dns that i put in pc2 ... | 14:42 |
| th0r | Kalamansi that dns is outside...nothing to worry about | 14:42 |

| Darkmystere_ | Steve79 u may have to type ur password afterwards so do that and u have permission | 14:54 |
| astro76 | steve79: unless you are using a gui editor, then use gksudo | 14:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere_: look at the second link for xorg help or if it is a clean install do it again but this time dont mess ith xorg | 14:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: yes | 14:54 |
| steve79 | is there a way to do it without entering a terminal or should I make an attempt to shed myself of my old windows ways? lol | 14:55 |
| Darkmystere_ | Pirate_Hunter i havent messed with xorg >.> i just did the usual update and then i enabled the driver ect usualy works 4th time iove done it.. | 14:55 |
| astro76 | steve79: alt+f2, type gksudo gedit, then open the file | 14:55 |
| Rodolfo | Pirate_Hunter, erawfish, jrib, astro76: thank you guys :) | 14:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | steve79: there is sudo nautilus than the new windw that pops up will be in admin mode | 14:55 |
| Noodels | I appear to be in a bad situation. I mentioned earlier that the ubuntu livecd kept crashing, well it seemed fine a few minutes ago so I got most of the way through the install, I finished the partitioning and about 85% of the way through the install it crashed, should I switch off and wait for the alternative cd and then install it over the partitions created there or wipe the partitions and restore them to how they wer | 14:56 |
| Noodels | e and start over with the alternative, or just leave it on for a while and hope it fixes itself? | 14:56 |
| astro76 | !gksu | Pirate_Hunter | 14:56 |
| ubotu | Pirate_Hunter: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 14:56 |

| astro76 | ;) | 14:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | astro76: i know but the person doesnt want to use terminal so i just told him about that | 14:57 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere_: second install txt or the graphical install I dont see how that could happen unless the download was corrupted - x is installed automatically by default | 15:01 |
| grub | hmm i see | 15:01 |
| linduxed | i accidentally rm'd a directory on my external harddrive, is there anyway to just see what was there? i dont even need to recover | 15:01 |
| grub | justblue, "run" ? you mean mount? | 15:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere_: see i dont get what you get on screen, can you see icons or is it like dos? | 15:02 |
| Darkmystere_ | Pirate_Hunter Graphical.... I know xorg is installed by default but u need x-server running to get it to work... | 15:02 |
| astro76 | grub: do you know about system rescue cd? it has useful toools like that, also knoppix | 15:02 |
| Noodels | Okay, I am burning the alternative disc for ubuntu now, once it's burnt will I need to wipe the failed installation of ubuntu and start over? | 15:02 |

| pkundu | in xchat how do I turn off all the login and logout msg | 15:03 |
| esters | is there a way to add text to the Gnome menu icon, similar to Xfce4 menu button | 15:03 |
| astro76 | pkundu: right-click on the channel name | 15:04 |
| Noodels | Okay, I am burning the alternative disc for ubuntu now, once it's burnt will I need to wipe the failed installation of ubuntu and start over? | 15:04 |
| grub | justblue, you can access data on your ntfs filesystem, you cannot however "run" your windows programs unless you use an emulator such as wine | 15:04 |
| steve79 | one last question, I need to run a command with both -d3d and -nosound, do I type it just like that or do I seperate with a coma? not sure how to put it in right | 15:04 |
| Phophos | linduxed: testdisk might help. I've used that before to check damaged harddrives, and it works on undamaged drives too. | 15:05 |
| pkundu | astro76, thanks. i want for all the channel | 15:05 |
| grub | grub, mounting your ntfs filesystem will give you a read-only fs. If you need write access too, use ntfs-3g, but thats not really advisable | 15:05 |
| grub | err, * justblue ^ | 15:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere_: i dont think you understand x-server is already installed, if it is a clean install the graphics should show unless there was somethign wrong with your download and if it is not showing what is the message? how does your ubuntu show at the moment? | 15:05 |
| Stwange | can anyone send me the realplayer plugin file for firefox please? Every link takes me to the same site, and it refuses to load | 15:05 |
| Darkmystere_ | Well can some 1 at least point me to the graphical channel for ubuntu | 15:05 |
| Stone_age | I have a question | 15:05 |
| astro76 | pkundu: I'm not aware of a way in xchat besides doing that for each one | 15:05 |
| astro76 | Darkmystere_: graphical channel? | 15:05 |
| chazco | Anyone know how to sync a Samsung F700V with Ubuntu? | 15:05 |

| Stone_age | I just ran update, and it trshed my mythtv install | 15:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | astro76: i just dont get how x is not working and if heneeds to restart it or manually fix it | 15:06 |
| Darkmystere_ | Pirate_Hunter: U need to enabled x-server at boot and make a small script and then make it excutable... | 15:06 |
| Stone_age | How do I uninstall updates?? | 15:06 |
| esters | Is there a way to add text to the Gnome menu icon, similar to Xfce4 menu button ? | 15:06 |

| Darkmystere_ | Pirate_Hunter 7.10 | 15:07 |
| astro76 | Stone_age: why do you want to do this? | 15:07 |
| tarjei | I am having problems mounting a hard drive | 15:07 |
| Moduliz0r | what would I use to generate the md5sum of a string? | 15:07 |
| Stone_age | it killed myth | 15:07 |
| tarjei | It is from an unclean shutdown from WIndows | 15:07 |
| tarjei | And is marked in use | 15:07 |
| Kalamansi | RaThing : firestarter is already installed. and its running .. i can ping the pc1 server in pc2 xp home.. but pc2 cannot connect to the internet now... when i start firestarter couple of seconds it will disappear... | 15:08 |
| Darkmystere_ | Well Brb Pirate_Hunter trying somthing >.> | 15:08 |
| tarjei | I _really_ have to mount it, but it refuses | 15:08 |
| astro76 | Stone_age: it would be easier to try and troubleshoot why myth is "killed", start by explaining what that means ;) | 15:08 |
| tarjei | So I type in the command the error message tells me to, but then the terminal just gives me a long list. | 15:08 |
| Moduliz0r | what would I use to generate the md5sum of a string? | 15:08 |

| oguz286 | @slylock if you want to use svn, get the subversion package and type "svnadmin create <foldername>" and it will make a repository in that folder | 15:26 |
| jrib | SimonGsy: yep, ~/.xprofile | 15:26 |

| jrib | kaiomatico: help you do what? | 15:27 |
| arken_ | I can't mount my new hard drive to /tmp | 15:27 |
| oguz286 | @slylock and the you could use RapidSVN to manage that repository if you don't want to use the cli | 15:27 |
| arken_ | using gparted | 15:27 |
| slylock | oguz286: I c | 15:28 |
| slylock | oguz286: does it give some visual interface | 15:28 |
| t-om | arken_, mount it to /mnt instead | 15:28 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: thanks (trying login now) | 15:28 |
| slylock | wehre i can check in and out files | 15:28 |
| arken_ | Any help | 15:28 |
| iclebyte | aram, some one mentioned it might be to do with udev earlier, google that | 15:28 |
| astro76 | arken_: as mentioned, use /mnt | 15:28 |
| Kalamansi | ok i got firestarter working now thanks alot!\ | 15:28 |
| jrib | kaiomatico: is your disk listed when you do 'sudo fdisk -l'? | 15:28 |
| arken_ | ok | 15:28 |
| chealdo | how about the outkafe doe anyone succeded to install in ubuntu? | 15:28 |
| oguz286 | @slylock RapidSVN has a GUI, but to create a repository you need the cli | 15:29 |
| arken_ | It says "unable to mount drive | 15:29 |
| astro76 | arken_: you should only be mounting to empty directories, | 15:29 |
| kaiomatico | no fdisk -l is not displaying it | 15:29 |
| moad_ | Pirate_Hunter: both work ... for now , i will check when it starts happening | 15:29 |
| arken_ | because theres a / in it | 15:29 |
| slylock | oguz286: what is cli | 15:29 |
| aram | iclebyte: who mentioned? | 15:29 |
| oguz286 | @slylock command line interface, the terminal | 15:29 |
| astro76 | arken_: pastebin the entire command and output | 15:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | kk check online im getting gibberish on google but if i find something ill post it | 15:29 |

| bottiger | I never understood. Is it possible to run a shared hosting service without putting all users in a jail? I mean, since the webserver must have access to all the users file, wont you then always be able to access other peoples files through a script? | 15:31 |
| kaiomatico | jrib: it is maybe sdd =) | 15:31 |
| Xintruder | can I fit ubuntu, some basic packages like open-office on eeepc? | 15:32 |
| Soskel | bottiger: the webserver only has access to what users upload to the server | 15:32 |
| astro76 | bottiger: yes it's possible, I know somehow dreamhost does this without chroot jails | 15:32 |
| EduardoSal | hi | 15:32 |
| arken_ | jrib: I didn't do anything, thats my issue, it WON'T do anything | 15:32 |

| jaggy | eh , i made my xface menu disapear , how i get it back ? XD | 15:36 |
| arken_ | I didn't type anything. I did that through GUI | 15:36 |
| arken_ | sorry for being an idiot : | 15:36 |

| awyatt | Nah, you're not an idiot, you're learning. You haven't asked any monumentally stupid questions yet =P | 15:36 |
| jrib | kaiomatico: k, well at least now you know you are getting an error. Not sure how to troubleshoot that though. I once had a similar issue and using a different usb port fixed it, but I doubt this is the same | 15:37 |
| moad_ | Pirate_Hunter: i will try now | 15:37 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: when i run the Live cd without the splash screen i see lots of errors and lots of stuff failing | 15:37 |
| awyatt | arken_: What is the mount point now? | 15:37 |
| mykas0 | hi everyone, once more | 15:37 |
| arken_ | There is none. It is currently unmounted. | 15:37 |
| kaiomatico | jrib: i tried different hubs and ports.... but it really pisses me on that puppy linux is able to mount it,but ubuntu gutsy not!!! | 15:37 |
| awyatt | And what tools are you clicking on to do this? | 15:38 |
| SimonGsy | hi | 15:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jack: your talking about the graphical errors like screen glitching and black lines if so thats because resolution is too high | 15:38 |

| Shapeshifter | Is it possible to load / modprobe a kernel module twice? Not that I want to do that, but I'm writing a script that loads a module and I don't want it to start the module a second time if it is already running. Or do I not have to worry?

| BluTao | Hi there. I am new here | 15:40 |
| mykas0 | I'm having a problem...I pick the first install option and it seems to be used as a Live CD... afterall, how can I install ubuntu? >_> | 15:41 |
| astro76 | Shapeshifter: I don't think it hurts as you have found | 15:41 |
| swx_ | Hellooo | 15:41 |
| awyatt | arken_: You're probably typing /tmp. Change it to tmp without the slash. | 15:41 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: http://simongsy.pastebin.com/m5dd2cbc2 | 15:41 |
| arken_ | now it is mounted to /media/tmp. | 15:42 |
| swx_ | Is it possible that options of my BIOS (B. is Asus p5ld2) including AI NOS overclocking options speed up my ubuntu clock ? | 15:42 |
| arken_ | I want it to be just /tmp | 15:42 |
| mykas0 | I'm having a problem...I pick the first install option and it seems to be used as a Live CD... afterall, how can I install ubuntu? >_> Any clue? :| | 15:42 |
| jrib | SimonGsy: you can't sudo since you can't enter a password, or did you do something to address that? | 15:42 |
| SimonGsy | nope, any suggestions? | 15:43 |
| jrib | SimonGsy: what does this script do? | 15:43 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: program needs to be run with sudo though | 15:43 |
| arken_ | mykas0: would you care to tell me what the problem is exactly? | 15:43 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: for the keyboard | 15:43 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: no not these kinds of errors, i am talking about errors like tty4 main process ended, respawning being on the screen at least 15 times in a row | 15:43 |
| brobostigon | arken_: dont moun t a drive to /tmp, create a frder for that in /media | 15:43 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: si3054: cannot initialize. EXT MID = 0000 | 15:43 |
| jrib | SimonGsy: k, what does g15daemon do? | 15:43 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode | 15:44 |
| arken_ | brobostigon: how do i make a frder? | 15:44 |
| steve79 | Okay, I downloaded an extension for firefox and I cannot get it to install, it says error code -235 out of disk space.... anyone know how to get rhapsody to actualy install? | 15:44 |
| swx_ | Asus AI NOS overclocking functions of my board speed up system clock with ubuntu, is it possible ? | 15:44 |
| awyatt | arken_: Oh, I see. Ubuntu does that so it's not easy to break your filesystem. You want to change it as though you had partitioned it that way during the install, right? | 15:44 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: and lots lots lots more | 15:44 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: it allows LCDd to access the keyboard | 15:44 |
| mykas0 | arken_, I booted from the ISO I just downloaded, picked the first option ("Install or run Ubuntu", or something like that) and it just runs like a Live CD - I actually want to install Ubuntu in my disk... | 15:44 |
| brobostigon | sudo mkdir /media/foldername | 15:44 |
| jack | and hanging at evert step | 15:44 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: then the php script accesses LCDd | 15:44 |
| arken_ | Ah! | 15:44 |
| arken_ | mykas0: There will be a program in your menu, or on your desktop called "Install Ubuntu" | 15:45 |
| Xintruder | does ubuntu boot faster than xp? | 15:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jack: O hmmm kk what exactly happened are you running the install live CD (not alternate)? | 15:45 |
| arken_ | Xintruder: it depends. | 15:45 |
| chealdo | guys last thing do anyone knows how to add schema in postgres? | 15:45 |
| awyatt | arken_: In that case I believe you need to do it by hand. You add a line to /etc/fstab (sudo gedit /etc/fstab) | 15:45 |
| Xintruder | is there a navigation program (gps) i can install on my ubuntu? | 15:45 |
| arken_ | awyatt: I think I'll try to avoid breaking my system, i won't mess with it | 15:46 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: it all started by installing Linux Mint, the live cd ran as smooth as silk, installation went flawless until configuring hardware where it hanged as if there's no tomorrow, then it resumed, asked for restart. I did but then the sstem would not start | 15:46 |
| brobostigon | Xintruder: have a look on packages.ubuntu.com | 15:46 |
| flala | ubuntu kutubu timbutu | 15:46 |
| Xintruder | I use an lcd touch screen in my car, thats connected to a laptop with xp, that runs music, radio, and navigation. I was wondering if doing this with linux (ubuntu) would be any better or faster? | 15:46 |
| mykas0 | well, arken_, it was kinda hiding (menu -> system -> administration -> install), but there... nothing in my desktop, unfortunately | 15:47 |
| mykas0 | thanks! | 15:47 |
| awyatt | Good call. Lots of partitions to intelligently manage disk usage on a server with a heavy workload makes lots of sense. On a desktop PC not so much. | 15:47 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: i then took my ever reliable gutsy that i used to install on two other machines but it wouldnt start. then i downloaded a gutsy dvd and used it to install a command line system that is good for nothing and now i've been waiting for the alternate cd to load for the ast 2 hours | 15:47 |
| jrib | SimonGsy: one way would be to edit your sudoers file to not require a password for these two commands. Use 'sudo visudo' to edit. 'man sudoers' explains the syntax, let me know if it's not clear after reading and looking at the examples | 15:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jack: checout the link on installing ubuntu - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation - ps i know its obvious but you should choose the correct comp version for you i.e. desktop should be x86 | 15:48 |
| mykas0 | yet another question... | 15:48 |
| mykas0 | where exactly, on the live cd, do I change the resolution? | 15:48 |
| XLV | Xintruder, with linux you can set the laptop to run off some usb stick ( embedded linux ) and then you can set it not to shutdown, but to suspend, so you will get some 2-3s resume from hibernation | 15:48 |
| awyatt | jrib: It's real easy, you just uncomment one obvious line. | 15:48 |
| punkshui | anybody have any macbook know how my isight still doesn't work even after getting the AppleUSBVideoSupport file and extracting it using that uvc-video package | 15:48 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: Will read into that now | 15:48 |
| SimonGsy | jrib: Thanks | 15:48 |
| arken_ | mykas0: You don't need to. When you install it it'll make it whatever it seems to think is best. | 15:48 |
| jrib | awyatt: hmm? | 15:48 |
| XLV | Xintruder, much more durable that having a mechanical hdd | 15:48 |
| Megadork | how do I uninstall ubuntu | 15:49 |
| Megadork | I'm bored with it | 15:49 |
| mykas0 | arken_, but... this is way too big for my screen, installing with it will be a pain in the ass >_> | 15:49 |
| Xintruder | XLV: excellent! these sdch's or something are faster than hdd's! But the thing is, setting up the right software. | 15:49 |
| awyatt | jrib: I mean to make sudo not require a password. You just uncomment one line and it's very clear. | 15:49 |
| brobostigon | Megadork: erase the paritions with it on | 15:49 |
| Megadork | how do I do that | 15:49 |
| swx_ | AI NOS overclocking jumper free options of my ASUS board is speeding up the ubuntu/system clock, is it possible ? | 15:49 |
| jrib | awyatt: oh I see what you mean. With a slight modification so that it only affects the two commands SimonGsy needs | 15:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jack: if that hd hasnt got important data format it and install from the alternate CD using instructions from that link (format using win 98 bootdisk or something good) | 15:49 |
| arken_ | mykas0: Oh, I get it. Hmm. Go into Preferences -> Screen Resolution | 15:49 |
| astro76 | Megadork: just install another system overtop, there is no uninstall | 15:49 |
| brobostigon | megadork: gparted (maybe live cd) | 15:50 |
| Megadork | k | 15:50 |
| mykas0 | arken_, hum... no such option, or it would have been easy | 15:50 |
| XLV | Xintruder, one thing to beware though, that suspended lapto will consume some power and maybe drain the battery, so you dont want to run it on the same battery that feeds the ignition | 15:50 |
| Megadork | I want to give the empty space to windows | 15:50 |
| arken_ | *facepalm* | 15:50 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: the hd is new and has nothing on it, i have formatted it like 3 or 4 times in the past days | 15:50 |
| awyatt | oh jeez. i totally missed the first part of that conversation. Sorry to stick my nose in. | 15:50 |
| Xintruder | I see.. | 15:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Megadork: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 15:50 |
| arken_ | mykas0: Are you running Ubuntu 7.10? | 15:51 |
| XLV | Xintruder, a second battery installation isnt that hard | 15:51 |
| mykas0 | yes, 7.10, downloaded the iso a few minutes ago | 15:51 |
| Xintruder | XLV: in the car's engine area? | 15:52 |
| Xintruder | XLV: is there a full screen software I can use that has navigation, multimedia file browsing, radio, etc, that can be like a car interface, similar to the ones that run in windows..? | 15:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | jack: ahhhh sorry the hd is new, your installation is not being allwed, i think mint installed a partition table that is screwed up, by formating the hd you can install ubuntu again and it dont take long but than i have no clue why you are having such a problem | 15:52 |
| arken_ | mykas0: Hmm. That is interesting. Maybe It just doesn't have it on the Live CD. | 15:52 |
| XLV | Xintruder, with some circuity only to charge it with current when engine is on, and feeding the laptop off that second battery.. about navigation software, dont know really.. | 15:52 |
| XLV | Xintruder, http://tuxmobil.org/linux_gps_navigation_applications.html | 15:53 |
| jack | Pirate_Hunter: but i reformatted and re edited the partition table using an old ubuntu version | 15:53 |
| mykas0 | arken_, ok, i'll try to do it like this... thanks anyway! :) | 15:53 |

| bruenig | Enselic, just mount it | 15:58 |
| Enselic | bruenig: thats to complicated for a mother | 15:58 |
| NIghtFire | bruenig: how is that done ? | 15:58 |

| steve79 | is there anyone that can help me get an extension working on firefox? | 16:01 |

| Enselic | VLC is able to play .iso files, but the playback is choppy, anyone know of what to do? | 16:04 |
| bruenig | Enselic, mount the iso | 16:04 |
| randomwalker | hi, my wireless network doesn't even show up on my gutsy laptop whereas it works fine on my feisty laptop.. how can i debug this? | 16:05 |
| randomwalker | also, it works fine under windows in both laptops | 16:05 |
| Enselic | bruenig: as I told you that is not an option | 16:05 |
| Enselic | bruenig: thanks anyway | 16:05 |
| bruenig | Enselic, that is the only thing you got, if playing the iso doesn't work, and you refuse to mount, then install windows or something | 16:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Enselic: google is your friend but it shouldnt, like bruenig said you could try to actually mount it | 16:05 |
| astro76 | Enselic: why not, it's one simple command? | 16:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bruenig: relax | 16:05 |
| Enselic | bruenig: or I could simply try to fix VLC | 16:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Enselic: rofl vlc aint broken | 16:06 |
| Enselic | astro76: the mom of a friend of mine is using Ubuntu | 16:06 |
| roshini | i am running ALSA only. | 16:06 |
| Enselic | Pirate_Hunter: obviously | 16:06 |
| astro76 | Enselic: so help her do it, make a script if necessary | 16:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Enselic: relax wheer trying to help try to mount it there are steps online to doing so | 16:06 |
| Enselic | Pirate_Hunter: sorry if I come across as non-relaxed, I really am relaxed :) | 16:07 |
| Enselic | I know how to mount, my linux knowledge is not the bottleneck here | 16:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Enselic: if im not mistaken if you search online there are scripts to automatically mounting iso files i just forgot where ive seen it but it was a while ago | 16:07 |
| _gtt_ | i can tell ya how to mount iso | 16:08 |
| _gtt_ | what do you mean by "automatically" though ? | 16:08 |
| bruenig | when there is a way to do something, and you refuse to do it or someone is too ignorant to do so, then there isn't much we can do for you | 16:08 |
| Enselic | bruenig: shees dude calm down | 16:08 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter: how do i get permission to edit a file ? | 16:09 |
| _gtt_ | bruenig: sometimes history is our greatest ability, because we can record a successful way of doing something... but sometimes it hinders us by standing in the way of our search for a better way. | 16:09 |
| bruenig | _gtt_, there is no other way, play the iso outright (which basically just mounts the thing anyways) or mount it | 16:10 |
| bruenig | there is no magic alternative | 16:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: as it ahs be pointed by astro gksudo to open graphical interfaces or you can just sudo nautilus which is not the most appropriate way but quickest | 16:10 |
| _gtt_ | i dont understand what he wants as far as automatically. | 16:10 |
| bruenig | press alt + ctrl + f9 and then turn around three times fast and see if that works | 16:10 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: what file are you trying to get permission to? | 16:10 |
| astro76 | Pirate_Hunter: gksudo nautilus ! | 16:10 |
| * nickrud tests bruenig's interesting suggestion | 16:10 | |
| steve79 | any able to help me troubleshoot a firefox problem? there is nothing going on in the firefox channel | 16:10 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter: i think i have to edit Interfaces in the Network folder | 16:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | _gtt_: there are online cripts already pre-made for mounting iso files just by activating them, maybe not automatic but less hassle | 16:11 |
| Pirate_Hunter | _gtt_: *scripts | 16:11 |
| punkshui | anyone here with a macbook and working isight? in ubuntu? | 16:11 |
| brobostigon | moad: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 16:11 |

| SimonGsy | jrib: I have tried editing the sudoers, can you take a look at it (I've pastebined it) | 16:13 |

| chazco | Anyone know how I can make truecrypt dismount volumes without having to become sudo? | 16:15 |
| Enselic | komputes: there is Cinelerra wich is very powerful, but it's quite buggy and you need to be hardcore to use it | 16:15 |
| PriceChild | nullbyte00, pm please | 16:15 |
| komputes | Enselic: I have tried debian packages for Cinelerra, cinelera generic, cinelera k7, k8, what is going on with that project, what do people on ubuntu studio use as non-linear editing tool? | 16:16 |
| malakar | how do I send a mail using mutt | 16:16 |
| Enselic | komputes: Cinelerra really is your only choice if you're looking for powerful video editig on linux¨ | 16:17 |
| komputes | Enselic: Does Cinelerra come packaged correctly on Ubuntu Studio? | 16:17 |
| malakar | I am in the mail prompt but don't know how to send it | 16:17 |
| Enselic | komputes: Cinelerra is really buggy in my experience unless you compile it yourself for your host sytem | 16:17 |
| buuuls | Heello :) | 16:18 |
| komputes | Enselic: And then what video format do you recommend I use with it? | 16:18 |
| Enselic | komputes: I use mencoder and produce MPEG2 for Cinelerra | 16:18 |
| Enselic | komputes: that's a format Cinelerra likes | 16:18 |
| komputes | Enselic: MPEG2 is DVD equivalen correct? | 16:19 |
| Enselic | komputes: but save your work continuolsy, CInellera has a tendencay to crash | 16:19 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter: Problem Solved | 16:19 |
| Enselic | komputes: yeah iirc | 16:19 |
| komputes | Enselic: okie dokie, I'll try compiling the sorce if you recommend it, any good ubuntu tutorials on this? | 16:19 |
| vadash | hi to all! | 16:19 |
| nickrud | malakar: you need to set up a local mail server for mutt to use .... | 16:20 |
| Enselic | komputes: not really, but it's pretty straightforward | 16:20 |
| vadash | can someone helpmw with install nvidia drivers=? | 16:20 |
| komputes | Enselic: make and configure, got it - it's just so many packages | 16:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: oooooh im trully happy for you so the tutorial helped than? | 16:20 |
| malakar | @nickrud everything is set up properly, just that I don't know how to use the mutt client | 16:20 |
| Enselic | komputes: "many packages"? | 16:20 |
| NIghtFire | randomwalker: does that lappy have a broadcom 43xx wireless chip ? | 16:20 |
| Wespe | is it possible to suppress all output when decrypting files with gpg? neither 2> /dev/null nor > /dev/null worked... | 16:20 |

| Pirate_Hunter | moad: kl | 16:21 |
| komputes | any way I can alien the RPMs? | 16:21 |
| nickrud | malakar: if I remember right, y is the default send key | 16:22 |
| Enselic | komputes: yeah but you don't need to compile and install those | 16:22 |
| astro76 | Wespe: 2>&1 /dev/null | 16:22 |
| Enselic | komputes: you intsall dependencies with apt | 16:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: well now you can help other dont forget to introduce friend to linux, will make a better wold :D | 16:22 |
| komputes | Enselic: come again, how do I use apt on a local file? | 16:22 |

| Wespe | astro76, the 2nd you wrote isnt working ... | 16:24 |

| punkshui | komputes i think so but i'll try again | 16:28 |
| nickrud | komputes: a good rule of thumb for searching libs is, say it can't find gtk , you would add lib to the front and search for that, filtering for dev: apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev . That finds about 90% very quickly | 16:28 |
| malakar | Thanks folks I was able to send mail using mutt | 16:28 |

| dusty-sts | Hey guys I rebooted ubuntu and then started xmms, but it says my soundcard is blocked it worked before. Its working with gnome sounds, just not xmms. I have checked mizxer settings and they are fine. Also check what device and output device xmms using and that is fine, what can the problem be| | 16:31 |
| PriceChild | ompaul, realised as soon as i pressed return :) | 16:32 |
| dusty-sts | i did do an upgrade prior | 16:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: not that i know offmine works fine, im in youtub at the moment | 16:32 |

| moad | Pirate_Hunter , then how do i install it ? | 16:32 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lol | 16:32 |
| crimsun | dusty-sts: gutsy? hardy? what virtual alsa device is xmms configured to use? | 16:32 |

| nickrud | nik_: yes that command should put the mbr on the external. If your boot order looks for the usb hard drive first, it should read that boot sector first | 16:44 |
| nickrud | kr0n1x: yes | 16:44 |
| moad | matt___ its Dream of Mirror Online | 16:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | guzu: nope but those links are helpful you should read them and search online and in ubuntu forum | 16:44 |
| erdeniz | selam | 16:44 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: first of all, you can leave the port 22 for both, and add a separate higher port, which is a good idea not to expose 22 or 23 publically | 16:44 |
| guzu | Pirate_Hunter, ok, thnx | 16:44 |
| matt___ | moad: never heard of it | 16:44 |
| nik_ | nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51669/ | 16:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !sound | guzu | 16:45 |
| ubotu | guzu: 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 | 16:45 |
| nickrud | kr0n1x: a question that just came to me, are you trying to ssh to the machine by name? | 16:45 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: but how about showing us the command you are using to connect? | 16:45 |
| kr0n1x | nickrud it doesn't work with name, and also with ip | 16:45 |
| caleb | how do I get this to work: http://www.ubuntu1501.com/2007/12/backlight-brightness-fix.html#c2156589185041572849 what does it mean, save it as an executable? | 16:45 |
| moad | matt___ check it out , either the Aeria Games version or the GameTribe one | 16:45 |
| kr0n1x | astro76 it doesn't work with 22 in both pc too, anyway how can i try higher port? | 16:45 |
| matt___ | moad: i would..but i'm trying to figure something out | 16:45 |
| nickrud | kr0n1x: ok, I thought it was a silly question but had to ask anyway | 16:46 |
| kr0n1x | i try ssh user@ip | 16:46 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: what command are you using to connect? | 16:46 |
| kr0n1x | ssh user@ip or user@name | 16:46 |
| kr0n1x | i tried that commands | 16:46 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: if it's not 22, you have to do ssh -p <portnumber> user@address | 16:46 |
| nickrud | nik_: that looks right. So try rebooting, and be sure the bios is looking at the external first | 16:46 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: also to check if the name resolves, try nslookup <name> | 16:46 |
| crimsun | dusty-sts: in other words, you need to stop/quit the slmodemd application. | 16:47 |
| andre | hmm, iam using ubuntu 7.10 with nvidia-drivers (xgl) - but i have a problem. the titleline of maximized windows is broken (sometimes). here a screenshot: http://www.imgbox.de/?img=g15855h24.p | 16:47 |
| guzu | is tehre a package containing alsaconf? | 16:47 |
| kr0n1x | ssh -p 23 pasquale@192.168.1.174 but nothing astro76 | 16:47 |
| kr0n1x | i can't understand what is blocking the connection.. | 16:47 |
| andre | someone have an idea to fix it without disabling xgl? | 16:47 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: can you ping that address? | 16:47 |
| nik_ | nickrud: my laptop is set different, i can pull up a menu to chooose which area to boot from, does it still matter which order the boot sequence is in? | 16:47 |
| andre | http://www.imgbox.de/?img=g15855h24.png | 16:48 |
| erUSUL | andre: you shouldn't be using xgl with nvidia you should use the standar aiglx that comes with Xorg | 16:48 |
| kr0n1x | astro76 it shows this line and stay as is: PING 192.168.1.174 (192.168.1.174) 56(84) bytes of data. | 16:48 |
| nickrud | nik_: you should be able to change the disk boot order in the bios setup, and it does matter | 16:48 |
| Christina18 | What is happening to my comp? Within the last two days, the PC has got suddenly completely frozen, three times. When it freezes, there are no error messages and I can't move the mouse, also all three LED's on the keyboards are blinking. | 16:49 |
| andre | erUSUL, hmm, i installed only nVidia-Drivers via gnome.menu, all other was done bei ubuntu itself | 16:49 |
| erUSUL | andre: then you are not using xgl (you hjave to manually install xserver-xgl) | 16:49 |
| kr0n1x | astro76 i stopped the ping and it says: 98 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 97193ms | 16:49 |
| mykas0 | this is ridiculous... | 16:49 |
| moad | anyone knows a place where i can find a directory of MMORPG games that are also playable on linux ? | 16:50 |
| astro76 | kr0n1x: so the problem isn't ssh at all | 16:50 |
| mykas0 | I just downloaded an ISO of ubuntu 7.10, and the CD integrity gives me 1 error - what should I do? | 16:50 |
| nik_ | nickrud: will this work if i try boot from another comp? | 16:50 |
| erUSUL | andre: i suffer the same problems here even with custom drivers installed (169.07) i just live with it | 16:50 |
| andre | erUSUL, ok sorry for my wrong information | 16:50 |
| nickrud | nik_: yes, if the bios is set to look at externals first | 16:50 |
| nik_ | nickrud: thats the whole point of my wanting it on an external HD | 16:50 |
| caleb | moad : eternal lands : http://www.eternal-lands.com | 16:50 |
| nik_ | ok | 16:50 |
| nik_ | sweet | 16:50 |
| nik_ | nickrud: brb then | 16:50 |
| kr0n1x | astro76 maybe is some firewall rules? i installed Ubuntu Server today... no rules edited. fresh installation! | 16:50 |
| x-X-x | do ubuntu apps support multiple cores " spread the work needed to be done evenly on both cores? " or do they work on 1 core? | 16:51 |
| andre | erUSUL, how can i see my driver version? | 16:51 |
| nickrud | mykas0: check the md5sum of the downloaded iso (the !md5 link will say how) and if it's good, burn again at a slower speed | 16:51 |
| nickrud | !md5 | mykas0 | 16:51 |
| ubotu | mykas0: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 16:51 |
| erUSUL | andre: if you used the restricted drivers manager it would be 100.14.19 | 16:52 |
| Dr_willis | x-X-x, they spread the load muchbetter then what ive seen windows apps do. | 16:52 |
| mykas0 | nickrud, I didn't burned it - I'm using it as an ISO, to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine | 16:52 |
| x-X-x | Dr_willis k | 16:52 |
| nickrud | mykas0: do the md5 sum check, if it doesn't match you'll have to download it again | 16:52 |
| moad | how do i install a .bin package ? | 16:52 |

| erUSUL | moad: chmod +x *bin ; ./*.bin | 16:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: google is your friend i should know | 16:53 |
| erUSUL | moad: but you should install things from the repos if possible | 16:53 |
| punkshui | please help with isight.. anyone | 16:53 |

| moad | erUSUL i downloaded this .bin package (its a game) so i simply write that line in terminal and replace the * with the name ? | 16:54 |

| punkshui | please help with isight.. anyone : i have no mac osx partition. i've tried every tutorial known to man.. i've reinstalled my operating system 4 times in the last two weeks. nothing changes. please help | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | andre: i used the *.run package from nvidia.com (if you have a custom kernel you may have to compile the module to) | 16:56 |
| erUSUL | too* | 16:57 |
| nik_ | otto_: are you in oregon? | 16:57 |
| nik_ | nickrud: it didnt work | 16:57 |
| moad | erSULU it tells me "no such file or directory" | 16:57 |
| nik_ | nickrud: i had to force it to boot from the HDD | 16:58 |
| erUSUL | moad: are you on the same dir as the bin file is? with the shell? | 16:58 |
| nickrud | nik_: no clue then, that works for many people. | 16:58 |
| moad | i am a total noob , i have been on linux for 4 hours :P so i dont understand what you are saying :P | 16:58 |

| lnx | what is nmapfe ? | 16:59 |
| mykas0 | listen, don't you want to make ubuntu HARDER to use? | 16:59 |
| erUSUL | moad: where did you dl the bin package? the Desktop? | 16:59 |
| nickrud | nik_: every disk has an mbr, it just depends on if it's written and points to the right partition to find the rest of grub. grub-install did that, said it had no problems, so I would suspect a bios issue | 16:59 |
| moad | nope | 17:00 |
| moad | oh | 17:00 |
| moad | i did :P | 17:00 |
| nik_ | nickrud: whould you know how to fish this? | 17:00 |

| mk|mobile | how can I make my machine stop starting raids on boot? | 17:00 |
| nickrud | nik_: I would modify my bios, and be sure it's allowing externals to boot. Then I'd take the external to another machine, see if it boots there | 17:01 |

| bruenig | Brian_L, are they all in one directory? | 17:01 |
| Brian_L | yeah | 17:01 |
| erUSUL | moad: when you open the shell you have to do «cd Desktop» to go to where the file is located... then do «chmod +x file.bin» and after that «sudo ./file.bin» | 17:01 |
| mykas0 | ;_______; | 17:01 |
| bruenig | with nothing else there? | 17:01 |
| bruenig | Brian_L, | 17:01 |

| Dr_willis | oops. :) | 17:03 |
| Dr_willis | wrong factoud.. | 17:03 |
| nik_ | nickrud: yeah. thats where i told it to ,in the usb section, to boot from my hard drive, it was even able to name my external HD, just when i try to boot from it grub says "no such partition" and it gives me the choice of loading normal ubuntu, ubuntu in safe mode, or run a memory test. | 17:03 |
| bazhang | haha | 17:03 |
| darklight | first.. there is a note saying new update available .. but cant fetch it .. cant fetch from prodigy.something | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | Darkmystere, you just mount them as you would under ubuntu, or any other linux disrto | 17:04 |
| bruenig | Darkmystere, so are you in a normal ubuntu install or are you in windows. I am not familiar with what wubi actually does | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | !ntfs | 17:04 |
| 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 | 17:04 |
| darklight | secondly .. cant get php through sudo apt-php | 17:04 |

| Darkmystere | bruenig: im in ubuntu | 17:04 |
| lnx | nickrud what i must to do for lan ip list. How can i see it ? | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | wubi sort of makes a fancy file on the windows hd that gets mounted/booted - lets you sort of isntall linux without having to repartiion. | 17:04 |
| bazhang | darklight: that would be sudo apt-get install if you are trying to install it | 17:04 |
| Dr_willis | i think.. :) | 17:04 |
| nickrud | lnx: do a ping test | 17:04 |
| Darkmystere | Brunig: i just backed up a previous install to windows and i cant remeber how i mounted it | 17:05 |

| punkshui | bazhang i most recently followed this tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491381 | 17:12 |
| bazhang | punkshui: from that tutorial you need to extract the firmware:sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdax /mnt then | 17:12 |
| punkshui | bazhang i don't have os x on my system | 17:12 |
| bazhang | punkshui: sudo cp /mnt/System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext/Contents/MacOS/* /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ | 17:12 |

| bazhang | punkshui: the tutorial lays it all out; no need for me to flood the channel any further with copying the entire thing | 17:13 |
| freak124 | is there a torrent program built into ubuntu? Or else, wich program is compatible with ubuntu? | 17:13 |
| punkshui | bazhang i don't have os x | 17:13 |

| ubotu | klander`: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| chazco | Anyone know if I can "arrange icons" on the gnome-panel? | 17:16 |
| zombie_monkey | Where can I get fiesty? | 17:16 |
| sn0 | Darkmystere that isn't an error :) your cdrom contains files needed by apt-get to install, if you prefer to use the internet to install from then you can edit the /etc/apt/soureces.list file as sudo/gksudo and uncomment the deb cdrom line, then update and try again | 17:16 |
| nickrud | lnx: in a terminal, type nmapfe . Then on scan type select ping sweep , and for target a partial lan address. For me, 192.168.0.x would be appropriate | 17:16 |
| _starryeyedboy_ | <chazco>: right clicking on 'em n choosing move? also - u can use "add to panel" to add separators n stuff | 17:16 |
| brobostigon | cdimage.ubuntu.com | 17:16 |
| sn0 | sorry typo, its /etc/apt/sources.list | 17:16 |

| talcite | hey guys, I'm having a bit of trouble running firehol for ubuntu server | 17:17 |
| _starryeyedboy_ | <chazco>: i see - do u mean... there are gaps n stuff? | 17:17 |
| nickrud | darklight: show me the link, so I can see it | 17:17 |
| Darkmystere | sn0: well could u tell me how to remove the older version the uninstallation instructions not working.. | 17:17 |
| sn0 | Darkmystere that should have said 'comment' not uncomment sorry | 17:17 |
| chazco | No, they're just not uniformly spaced (with a touchpad it can be tricky) | 17:18 |
| talcite | it keeps spitting out errors when translating iptable commands | 17:18 |
| talcite | has anyone else here used firehol before? | 17:18 |
| bazhang | punkshui: the easiest way it seems is to have a minimal osx partition and do it that way; no idea how to it otherwise--there are several launchpad bugs associated with it not working otherwise | 17:18 |
| Darkmystere | Sn0: its fine | 17:18 |
| _starryeyedboy_ | <chazco>: hm =D i see... i don't know of an auto arrange kinda function. i've just been doing it manually... | 17:18 |
| sn0 | Darkmystere try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-1d5d8ce5319742aea968112701e3a2292ac7d187 , it explains how to do it in the gui | 17:18 |

| ikonia | Xintruder: I advise you to remove that comment from the forum as the flash plugin has nothing to do with your graphics card issues, and it reads confusing | 17:23 |
| LjL | riddlebox: it's your own user's password | 17:23 |
| yfk | fierfox is comes out of the box, I guess a good enough reason would be needed to use a mail client other than Thunderbird | 17:23 |

| nickrud | brobostigon: under scan tab, scan type. Use the dropdown | 17:26 |
| LjL | yfk: is the fact that Evolution is the *default* email client in Ubuntu perhaps a good enough reason? | 17:26 |

| ikonia | Xintruder: you've posted a brief summary of a problem your having, thats no way enough of an investigation to actually get to the bottom of the issue | 17:28 |

| ikonia | Xintruder: log a bug report on launchpad - a forum is only a chat solution, not an official request for an investigation/trouble shooting | 17:29 |
| LjL | yfk: why shouldn't it be? you could converselt ask why is Firefox the default web browser, rather then Epiphany. an answer is probably that Firefox is too overwhelmingly dominant on the market not to provide it as default. that hardly goes for Thunderbird. | 17:29 |

| nickrud | darklight: that's the problem you have, the proxy is not reachable for some reason. Why? Well, I'm not expert. I'd start by resetting it back to direct connection. Make a note of that proxy line for later reference | 17:44 |
| ikonia | appelza: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 17:44 |

| darklight | nickrud, still cant fetch it up .. perhaps i need to restart .. | 17:46 |
| nickrud | darklight: you probably set up that manual proxy for a reason ... | 17:46 |
| theCarpenter | why cant i do the following: alias somedir='/home/me/deep/nested/dir' | 17:47 |
| Glam | can somebody tell me how to move around/choose options in dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg?? | 17:47 |
| Knofi | ikonia: than i dont know what could cause the error - im using a minipc, that means the harddisk is very near to my cpu - could these cause filesystem curruption? | 17:47 |
| darklight | yeah, cant remember why .. . | 17:47 |
| ikonia | theCarpenter: because of your quotations | 17:47 |
| ciacon | erUSUL: I just noticed, that I have several wlan interfaces... wlan0 and wmaster0 | 17:47 |
| ikonia | Knofi: I don't see why | 17:47 |
| darklight | nickrud, : anyway .. i would like to restart now .. and see the effect of it .. ... | 17:47 |
| erUSUL | ciacon: use the kde control center to configure the wireless connection or install knetworkmanager | 17:48 |
| nickrud | darklight: worth a try, I guess. The proxy should have been reset automatically though. | 17:48 |
| Knofi | could it be usefull to change the filesystem-type? xfs for example? | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | ciacon: wmaster0 is not an actual iface | 17:48 |
| erUSUL | ciacon: use wlan0 | 17:48 |
| ciacon | erUSUL: what is that iface for?? | 17:48 |
| Knofi | ikonia: could it be usefull to change the filesystem-type? xfs for example? | 17:48 |
| theCarpenter | pardon me: why cant i do the following: alias deep_dir="echo /home/me/deep/nested/dir" and then say deep_dir | cd ? | 17:49 |
| erUSUL | ciacon: iirc on drivers that support it you can use hostap and thinks like ismet and the like through it | 17:49 |
| ciacon | erUSUL: oki | 17:49 |
| kazim59 | I lost the NetworkManager icon (that I used to connect to my wifi network) in the panel... how to get it back? | 17:49 |

| andreas_ | what program can i use to capture some video with my webcam? | 17:49 |
| truna | theCarpenter, prove to yourself, is echo $deep_dir what you expected? | 17:49 |

| XLV | theCarpenter, echo prints something in the stdout, its output cant be used to be piped to next command | 17:51 |
| kazim59 | same for the new icon..a space gets created in panel.. which exits after sometime | 17:51 |
| nickrud | kazim59: how NetworkManager works is beyond me. Sometimes sudo pkill NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager works for me, sometimes I reboot | 17:51 |
| robdig | riddlebox: assuming that you want to add an existing user to an existing group type sudo adduser user group | 17:52 |
| truna | mmeloon, you dont want to share the knowledge with anyone else? | 17:52 |

| appelza | could anyone please look at my xorg.conf and tell me why I cant choose 1152x864@85hz (or even 75 for that matter): http://pastebin.com/m680d16b3 | 18:11 |

| bazhang | Kuroachia: can she access the router? normally that can be done with a browser--though you do need to be connected via ethernet to reset it | 18:11 |

| kr0n1x | appelza read this it helped me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=269052 | 18:11 |
| truna | appelza, would the monitor you have even support that resolution? | 18:11 |
| bazhang | Kuroachia: unless it is an apple airport | 18:11 |
| appelza | yeah | 18:11 |
| appelza | it works fine in windows at that refresh + resolution and higher | 18:12 |
| robdig | Kuroachia: out of curiosity, does she have a space in her ascii wep key? I did, which never bothered windows, but took me a while to figure out that ubuntu didn't like it :) | 18:12 |
| kr0n1x | appelza i had your same problem, i solved it with the post that i linked | 18:12 |

| steve79 | Hey all, I think something happened and I lost my home folder, when I rebooted the computer it looks like a fresh install (background, resolution) and all my bookmarks are gone and media I have on this computer, please tell me there is some way to retreive it? | 18:14 |
| Noodels | Look, I really need some other place besides the website where I can download an ubuntu alternative disk, the website hates me, that | 18:14 |
| Kuroachia | rodig: she doesn't have spaces but she does have dell router doesn't give one long encryption but rather 2 spaces per box. I told her to try it with spaces and no luck. | 18:14 |
| Noodels | 's the only question I really need answered. | 18:14 |
| Noodels | Is there an ftp server where I can download it or something? | 18:15 |
| robdig | Kuroachia: if it has room for 2 characters per box, then it is probably set for a hex key i think | 18:15 |
| === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde | ||
| Noodels | Please, it's the only thing between me and finishing this install. | 18:16 |
| bazhang | Noodels: the torrent or a local mirror perhaps--or just just another mirror | 18:17 |

| Noodels | The latest is gutsy right? | 18:18 |
| crimsun | the latest stable, yes. | 18:18 |
| cal_mac | hey guys i have been wrestling with my external hd for days now trying to get it to work with gutsy, and i have found a partial solution but it has caused performance issues and increased boot time. in the boot loader if i add the command irqpoll i am able to use my external normally, but overall my computer and programs are noticeably slower to load and perform operations | 18:18 |
| Xintruder | Could not open the file /home/nasser/Desktop/NVI…Linux-x86-169.07-pkg1.run using the Western (ISO-8859-15) character coding. Help!? | 18:19 |
| Kuroachia | robdig: On ubuntu if it asks for a passphrase the WEP should work just the same right? I know for me I typed in the passphrase because I knew what the passphrase was to generate the encryption code, does that matter at all? | 18:19 |
| Xintruder | XLV: ideas? | 18:20 |
| Flare183 | Looks like we are having a little floodbot problem | 18:20 |
| XLV | Xintruder, sh filename.run | 18:21 |
| robdig | Kuroachia: are you doing wep or wpa? for wep, all you do is enter the key, whether it is an ascii key or a hex key. for wpa you have to generate a key using a passphrase | 18:21 |
| XLV | Xintruder, into a shell, so sudo sh | 18:21 |
| Kuroachia | robdig: That's what I thought. She must just be typing in the key wrong. Her family is using WEP, I use WPA, I figured as much. Thanks. | 18:22 |
| truna | cal_mac, why did you use irqpoll ? what will that supposed to do? | 18:23 |
| robdig | Kuroachia: np, and good luck :) | 18:23 |

I don't understand why it's working from the shell, but not from within my file manager (Nautilus). I even made a dummy /usr/bin/mplayer which would dump the arguments passed to mplayer in the event it was launched to a text file.

| johnficca | Hi I am thinking of switching to 64bit ubuntu I have done a lot reading about so I know about the plugins and all of that. My Q is, I use ndiswrapper to go online and they do have a windows 64 bit driver for my card so will I be able to get my card to work with ndiswrapper? | 18:26 |
| Kibble | how do i re-autodetect the sound architecture? | 18:27 |
| truna | noonan, i just happen to be browsing this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=300310 see if it will help | 18:27 |
| cal_mac | johnficca: i got ndiswrapper working with my wireless device and it caused my nvidia drivers to stop working correctly | 18:27 |
| ompaul | johnficca, if you are using it as a desktop you will be frustrated moving to 64bit | 18:27 |
| Xintruder | im sorry for the noobish question, how do i get into console after exiting gnome (closing x)? | 18:28 |
| bazhang | P_Kable: iirc it went from 7 to 9 no 8 | 18:28 |
| ompaul | Xintruder, ctrl alt f1-6 at the same time and log in as yourself | 18:28 |
| iclebyte | Xintruder, you mean just a console i.e. no graphical login? | 18:28 |
| P_Kable | I need 7 then bazhang | 18:28 |
| Xintruder | yeh | 18:28 |
| ompaul | Xintruder, after that to go back to ctrl alt and f7 | 18:28 |
| bazhang | P_Kable: why? | 18:28 |
| johnficca | ompaul: I have used 64 bit before but that is not my question I just have never used it with ndiswrapper. | 18:28 |
| iclebyte | typing 'init 3' as root will do it | 18:28 |
| P_Kable | the question is how | 18:29 |
| noonan | truna: i read that one but I can't find fusemb in synaptic - maybe cause it the forum post is for edgy? | 18:29 |
| DonnieP | What's your Linux background? | 18:29 |
| P_Kable | too long to explain | 18:29 |
| johnficca | so will it work with ndiswrapper? | 18:29 |
| P_Kable | bazhang>> if you really want to know why: http://www.gotgtek.net/forum/index.php?topic=1632.0 | 18:30 |
| DonnieP | leave | 18:30 |
| riddlebox | ok I have somehow lost my admin privileges how can I get it back using the install cd? and chroot? | 18:31 |
| Kibble | how do i autodetect sound arch? | 18:31 |
| bazhang | P_Kable: flash 9 has "issues" right now; though there is a workaround | 18:31 |
| P_Kable | bazhang>> explain please | 18:31 |
| johnficca | does ndiswrapper work with ubuntu 64bit? | 18:31 |
| bazhang | !flash | P_Kable | 18:31 |
| ubotu | P_Kable: 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 | 18:31 |
| 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. | 18:31 |

| maxxumite | HI! How do I mount my windows hard drives? | 18:37 |
| melkor__ | I'm using sshfs to mount an ssh computer. It doesn't appear to work, the permissions and types are all question marks, but if I login as root it is mounted and working. | 18:38 |
| Enselic | notv: if you're serious about it I recomend GNU Emacs + GNU Global + GNU gdb + misc Emacs extensions | 18:38 |
| Enselic | notv: otherwise you might wanna check out Anjuta | 18:38 |
| melkor__ | Manyo f the forums say to add yourself to the group fuse, which I have done, but I still get ???'s. Always I have to mount the files system as root, and then I can only see it as root. | 18:39 |
| Enselic | melkor__: why not setup for ssh transfer with Places -> Connect to server? | 18:39 |
| notv | enselic i have anjunta installed on my machine as well, but i dont see any options for compilation on it | 18:39 |
| Enselic | notv: well there is | 18:39 |
| Enselic | notv: but I don't use Anjuta so I can't tell you where, but I'd start with File -> New project | 18:39 |

| Enselic | melkor__: what does kate say? | 18:40 |
| notv | enselic, it says i need the autogen package | 18:40 |
| jaggy | hmm how do i make a starter that opens the terminal and cd again ? someone told me today but i forgot :'( | 18:40 |
| melkor__ | one sec Ill try it again. | 18:40 |
| Enselic | AskHL: check what has the file opened with lsof | 18:40 |

| ali1234 | in the ubuntu installer, when i resize the existing partition, it asks for "new partition size" - does it mean the new size of the existing partition, or the size of the new partition? | 18:41 |
| maxxumite | Size of the new partition | 18:41 |
| Enselic | ali1234: as it says, it means the size of the new partition | 18:41 |
| maxxumite | Can anyone give me the mount command so I can see my windows drives? | 18:41 |
| ali1234 | well, i thought that ubuntu installer made more than one partition? | 18:41 |
| maxxumite | 2 | 18:41 |
| maxxumite | workspace(ext3) and swap | 18:42 |
| jaggy | how do i make a starter that opens the terminal and cd again ? someone told me today but i forgot :'( | 18:42 |
| maxxumite | swap should be double your RAM | 18:42 |

| TooR4u | Hii .. last night i have configured a modem (pppoa). Now i have my regular broad band connection ..... but my port 80 is missing what might be happened? | 18:43 |
| Enselic | melkor__: you should actually be in #kubuntu or kate (KDE) questions | 18:43 |
| jaggy | how do i make a starter that opens the terminal and cd again ? someone told me today but i forgot :'( | 18:43 |
| melkor__ | So that is a kde problem, I would prefer to do it through gnome, but still use kate, so if I could mount the file system it would work. And it does work if I type sudo kate | 18:43 |
| theshadow | Enselic: yes | 18:44 |
| ali1234 | well then, given that it makes two partitions in the freed space, how can "new partition size" refer to the size of the new partition? will it add extra space for swap as well, or what? | 18:44 |

| Kibble | has anyone downloaded and installed this flash player: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash | 18:55 |
| jaggy | jonn you gonna start c++ ? | 18:55 |
| jonn | jaggy: next semester, yes | 18:56 |
| Enselic | jonn: ok let me give you a quick intro, first make sure you have emacs installed. you want version 22.1 at least | 18:56 |
| jaggy | ok nice jonn :) | 18:56 |
| KingDaver | Is there a place where I can find nice additions to Ubuntu, eye candy for example? | 18:56 |
| infinitycircuit | OldGlory747: hmm well i'm not familiar with the exact way to do this, but I bet you could set up mail to read from your mail server, and use an infinite while loop to read the output of messages to stdin | 18:56 |
| Enselic | jonn: sudo apt-get install emacs should be enough | 18:56 |
| explore1 | Duke: I want to play rm files. But I guess VLC player works for that. So I can do without this. Can you help me with VMPlayer installation? | 18:56 |
| explore1 | Duke-Fluke: here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51689 | 18:56 |
| cleaton | KingDaver, you mean like, themes? | 18:56 |
| OldGlory747 | KingDaver: http://www.gnome-look.org/ | 18:57 |
| jonn | Enselic: done and done | 18:57 |
| napsy_ | Hello. Is there a way to skip the apt mirror checking when installing gutsy? | 18:57 |
| KingDaver | yes | 18:57 |
| Enselic | jonn: start emacs and start writing your c++ program | 18:57 |
| jonn | Enselic: simple as that aye? | 18:57 |
| infinitycircuit | while true; do; COM=`mail [some commands]`; if [ -x $COM ]; then $COM; fi | 18:57 |
| cleaton | KingDaver, ok then gnome-look, and you could also ask the people in #ubuntu-artwork | 18:57 |
| Enselic | jonn: yeah then you do M-x compile RET and write like g++ your-file.cpp | 18:57 |
| infinitycircuit | but i don't know the exact way to use mutt/pine/whatever to output new messages to stdout | 18:58 |
| Enselic | jonn: but it will take quite an effort on your part before you are able to appreiciate the power which is Emacs | 18:58 |
| OldGlory747 | infinitycircuit: ok. i don't suppose you've heard of anyone putting together software for this? I'm pretty inexperianced with python and the such. | 18:58 |
| jonn | Enselic: im sure that is the case | 18:58 |
| KingDaver | How do I go to ubuntu artwork? | 18:58 |
| Enselic | jonn: it's totally worth it though, I guarantee :) | 18:58 |
| infinitycircuit | OldGlory747: that was just a bash script but i've never heard of such software | 18:58 |
| infinitycircuit | OldGlory747: i know you can install shells on wm6 phones that allow ssh connections | 18:59 |
| triver | [Enselic]: happen the same | 18:59 |
| OldGlory747 | infinitycircuit:sounds like that may just be the better solution in the end | 18:59 |
| triver | [Enselic]: happen the same when I install with live and alternate cd | 18:59 |
| OldGlory747 | infinitycircuit:Thanks for the help | 19:00 |

| nugz1212 | how do you close out of compiz? | 19:02 |
| nugz1212 | is their a command? | 19:03 |

| Enselic | jonn: let's do this in private | 19:03 |
| nugz1212 | it says no command named "metacity" | 19:03 |
| jonn | Enselic: i dont think im registered | 19:04 |

| jonn | Enselic: mdy ba | 19:04 |
| Xintruder | How do we rename files in console ? | 19:04 |
| Sh3r1ff | Xintruder: use dpkg-reconfigure | 19:04 |
| iclebyte | moad, open a terminal and type 'sudo /bin/bash' it will ask you for your password then you will be root and have full access to every file | 19:04 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: why are you asking that again | 19:04 |
| hauru | moad : use sudo cat file name | 19:04 |
| jonn | Enselic: my bad* | 19:04 |
| Xintruder | ok thanks all | 19:04 |
| Enselic | jonn: ok but do you have a program in an emacs buffer? | 19:04 |
| iclebyte | Xintruder, mv oldfilename newfilename | 19:04 |
| moad | Pirate_ | 19:04 |
| jonn | Enselic: yes | 19:04 |
| explore1 | Duke: Yes Gutsy | 19:04 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter i asked something else before | 19:04 |
| Enselic | jonn: have you saved the program to a file? | 19:04 |
| jonn | Enselic: if by that you mean have i typed out some code | 19:05 |
| jonn | Enselic: yes | 19:05 |
| Xintruder | thx iclebyte | 19:05 |
| Enselic | jonn: what is the name of the file? | 19:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: dont do what iclebyte told you to do | 19:05 |
| triver | [Enselic]: Hello??? remember me? may you help me? | 19:05 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter why not ? | 19:05 |
| maxfreestyle | hi i did a bios update and ubuntu cant find my cd rom drive, it cant mount anything i put in the drive, any suggestions? the computer can boot from cd so the drive works | 19:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | iclebyte: dont give that kind of advise you know best that you should never allow ppll to run as root | 19:05 |
| iclebyte | yea, why not? =) | 19:05 |
| jonn | Enselic: firstproggy | 19:05 |
| iclebyte | its his system... how else will he learn except by breaking it? | 19:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: you shouldnt run as a root only gain root access to what you need to do | 19:06 |
| kr0n1x | i've a problem with ssh. i'm not able to connect to my pc in LAN with SSH, router ports are open, pubkey sets, i explained the problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4121719 | 19:06 |

| nycerine | ... | 19:06 |
| jonn | Enselic: if i type that into what, the terminal? | 19:06 |
| Enselic | jonn: nope within emacs | 19:06 |
| triver | [Pirate_Hunter]: Hi... may you help me? | 19:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | iclebyte: if youre not going to give good advise that wont involve the user damaging their comp than please dont help | 19:06 |
| jonn | oh | 19:06 |
| Enselic | jonn: emacs is one giant lisp machine | 19:06 |
| maxfreestyle | hi i did a bios update and ubuntu cant find my cd rom drive, it cant mount anything i put in the drive, any suggestions? the computer can boot from cd so the drive works | 19:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !ask | triver | 19:07 |
| ubotu | triver: 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. :-) | 19:07 |
| triver | [Pirate_Hunter]: I have problens | 19:07 |
| Enselic | jonn: when you type a key, you run a function | 19:07 |
| iclebyte | *sigh* okay. | 19:07 |
| Enselic | jonn: you can also run commands manually if you type M-x | 19:07 |
| triver | [Pirate_Hunter]: know the error (initramfs)? | 19:07 |
| Enselic | jonn: Note: M is Alt | 19:07 |

| Enselic | jonn: but hey lets do this in #emacs | 19:07 |

| pocketprotector | can someone tell me how to mount a ufs disk in ubuntu? i keep getting the error "bad special numnber" and he program fsck.ufs doesnt seem to exist. | 19:11 |
| Sh3r1ff | moad: run gksudo nautilus or use sudo chmod | 19:11 |

| Ashfire908 | hugleo, problem is we don't know the full problem :) | 19:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | triver: one sec both downloads on two different CDs are giving you the same error... what exactly is the message given for the error | 19:13 |
| maxfreestyle | so i cant use cdroms at all because of a bios update and i cant revert to a different bios | 19:13 |
| hugleo | triver :P | 19:14 |
| Xintruder | Hey | 19:14 |
| Xintruder | guys | 19:14 |
| Optimus55 | can i make a script to log me out of my ubuntu session once i close a program? | 19:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Xintruder: hi dont forget there are females here as well :D | 19:14 |
| Xintruder | I just restored xorg.conf Iand my graphics got messed up, with out xorg.conf my driver works much better, seriosly. | 19:14 |
| Duke_Fluke | explorer1: add this line :deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cschieli/ubuntu gutsy main restricted universe multiverse | 19:14 |
| Xintruder | lol | 19:14 |
| Optimus55 | or is it even possible without a script? | 19:14 |
| Duke_Fluke | then it should work | 19:14 |
| Think3 | scusate ho appena formattato e reinstallato il sistema e non trovo la partizione secondaria... come mai= | 19:15 |
| Think3 | ? | 19:15 |
| nickrud | !it | Think3 | 19:15 |
| ubotu | Think3: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 19:15 |
| Think3 | scusate | 19:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Optimus55: dont know maybe, this is the first time ive heard such question. however ubuntu is limitless so you never know check online | 19:16 |
| Othello | how do you delete a directory? | 19:16 |
| evil_tech | is there a way to share a ubuntu drive over the network so a windows machine can access it. i dont want to have to boot into vista to share the files on the drive | 19:16 |
| triver | [Pirate_Hunter]: I don't know if an error but when I start up linux that pause in splash and go to text and show it "(initramfs)" | 19:16 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Othello: hmm which directory? | 19:16 |
| Sh3r1ff | evil_tech: use samba | 19:16 |
| jaggy | how do i make a command that and opens gnome-terminal and changes the current workspace to a other one ? ANYONE PLEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 19:16 |
| Othello | A game that I don't play anymore. | 19:16 |
| triver | [Pirate_Hunter]: I don't know if an error but when I start up linux that pause in splash and go to text and show it "(initramfs)" | 19:17 |
| Optimus55 | Pirate_Hunter: okay thanks, because basically i have a separate profile for a virtual machine, so as soon as i log in, the vm boots up, but i want it to log me out of ubuntu once i close the vm app | 19:17 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter i still have to get used to it | 19:17 |
| kr0n1x | i've a problem with ssh. i'm not able to connect to my pc in LAN with SSH, router ports are open, pubkey sets, i explained the problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4121719 | 19:17 |
| moad | Pirate_Hunter thanks for the help :) | 19:17 |
| Pirate_Hunter | triver: so your not even sure if it is an error... one question does ubuntu work with graphics or does it load you to a screen that resembles DOS (shell) | 19:17 |
| bwlang | evol_tech: samba is the software you want... but you'll also need to use an ntfs driver to mount your windows filesystem if that's where your files are. | 19:17 |
| bwlang | evil_tech ^^ | 19:18 |
| evil_tech | the drive is Fat32 | 19:18 |
| evil_tech | unless there is someway to get ext3 support in windoze | 19:18 |
| Sh3r1ff | !samba | evil_tech | 19:18 |
| ubotu | evil_tech: 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. | 19:18 |
| xand_ | hi, can someone explain me the use of 'Public' and 'Templates' dirs that xdg-user-dirs made in gutsy? | 19:18 |
| bwlang | Priate_Hunter: there's a gui by default... try out the live cd... you can get an idea how things work by just booting it up (won't mess with your hard drive) | 19:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Optimus55: if you vm loads up on a different profile take it from sessions you might have added it to session but it shouldnt do that on a separate profile | 19:19 |
| bwlang | evil_tech: there is an ext3 driver for windows, but i've never used it up | 19:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | moad: np it takes time to get used to ubuntu but youll like it... i barely go into windows any more, i just use windows xp inside ubuntu | 19:20 |
| iclebyte | Optimus55, yes its possible. if you wrote a bash script that starts your VM in the foreground, then after the VM process is closed have the script calle gnome-session-save --kill or somthing then set that script to start when you login instead of your VM | 19:20 |
| bpurgari | i got another problem, i had "PCI: Bios bug found #81 ..." something error message every time i start ubuntu 7.10. I updated all the packages, and its still there. Working on a laptop with Phoenix Trusted core bios, Intel 945GM + ICH7M chipset. Any ideas what might be the problem? | 19:21 |
| speziFanta | where do chance my keybaordlayout systemwide? not only in X11. terminal etc | 19:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bwlang: huh? | 19:21 |
| Dr_willis | !ext3 | 19:21 |
| ubotu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 19:21 |
| hdevalence | What are some systems (either GNOME or KDE based) that would be suitable for a custom "kiosk" type thing for my grandfather? | 19:21 |
| bwlang | Pirate_Hunter: i mis-read your question to triver... thought YOU were asking about the DOS business ;) | 19:21 |
| === pyrak_ is now known as pyrak | ||
| Pirate_Hunter | bwlang: np by the way it wasnt a question | 19:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | hdevalence: pardon, didnt get that? | 19:23 |
| maxfreestyle | i really havce a problem in that i cannot use my cdrom drive.... | 19:23 |
| Dr_willis | hdevalence, depends on what you want the Koisk to do. KDE has a Kiosk mode.. of course Firefox has a kiosk plugin or 2 i recall. | 19:23 |
| Dr_willis | hdevalence, i recall some live cd's that were designed for instant web browsing kiosks also | 19:23 |
| jaggy | how do i make a command that and opens gnome-terminal and changes the current workspace to a other one ? ANYONE PLEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 19:23 |
| Sharpie | i used to have a pppoe connection (created with pppoeconf). now i installed a router, how do i stop the pppoe service from trying to connect to the dsl-provider at startup? | 19:24 |
| Dr_willis | jaggy, you mean move the gnome-terminal to a differnt workspace? | 19:24 |
| KingDaver | You know I have been using Ubuntu for a while now and I am still confused as to how to download and install things particularly tar files | 19:24 |
| jaggy | yes Dr_willis | 19:24 |
| maxfreestyle | does anyone have any suggestions, i have never heard of this before and nobody onlines seems to have posted this problem, but i bet it happened before | 19:24 |

| zubat | kde4 rocks! | 19:26 |
| maxfreestyle | cdrom drive cant be found after bios update in ubuntu | 19:26 |
| === suehtnilaP is now known as Palintheus | ||
| KingDaver | kde4 is it better than Gnome? on Ubuntu? | 19:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | zubat: havent checked it out yet will do so but than i use gnome but what d heck there should eb videos online | 19:26 |
| maxfreestyle | and i cant revert to older bios because the bios update solved a crucial freezing problem | 19:26 |
| hdevalence | zubat: i concur | 19:27 |
| iclebyte | ForgetYouNot, check out FileZilla. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net | 19:27 |
| ArrPirate | i'm having an odd problem. compiz, i believe, is causing my fonts to be super tiny (like little dots, not letters). if i turn off compiz everything's fine except for the text on the login screen | 19:27 |
| ArrPirate | what can i do? | 19:27 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, its a matter of personal preference | 19:27 |
| zubat | <hdevalence> and why is that? | 19:27 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, try them both =) | 19:27 |
| gerro | ArrPirate: change your fonts? | 19:27 |
| gogogir | hello folks, how do i exit the x server in ubuntu 7.1? (loggin in as root) | 19:28 |
| KingDaver | How do I try them both? | 19:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maxfreestyle: hmmm you checkd online on how to make ubuntu detect CDRom and did you check bios to make sure your device boot order is still the same and it picks up CD-Rom in bios? | 19:28 |
| gerro | ArrPIrate: sounds like your compiz theme has a crappy font that doesn't work well with your settings | 19:28 |
| ArrPirate | also, please excuse the shortcuts i take when typing and my slow responses. i'm forced to type using only my off hand because my other hand is broken | 19:28 |
| Darkmystere | well guys im back i want to know how to make a file called "mount" that shows me my windows filesystem so i can get some files i backed up from a previous install | 19:28 |
| maxfreestyle | well i can boot from the cdrom | 19:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | maxfreestyle: check bios first to see if the comp picks up cd-rom if it does than go online | 19:28 |
| Duke_Fluke | gogogir: Change your runlevel to 3? | 19:28 |
| gogogir | how? | 19:28 |
| ArrPirate | all my settings and fonts are the defaults that were installed with ubuntu | 19:28 |
| xand_ | can someone please explain me the use of 'Public' and 'Templates' dirs that xdg-user-dirs made in gutsy? | 19:29 |
| Duke_Fluke | Uhh i think you need to edit your inittab file... | 19:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: you mean you wish to mount you windows partition? | 19:29 |
| Duke_Fluke | or you could try CTL-ALT-F1 | 19:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !mount | Darkmystere | 19:29 |
| ubotu | Darkmystere: 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 | 19:29 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: Yea =) | 19:29 |
| nickrud | Duke_Fluke: that doesn't work in ubuntu, gogogir clt-alt-f1 , hit enter, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop . When done, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to get back to gui | 19:29 |
| KingDaver | In order to try them both does that mean installing 2 ubuntus? | 19:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: oops ignore that bot got it wrong let me get the link | 19:30 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: Im using a Wubi Install i just need to get a backed up install off of windows | 19:30 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: oh ok my Ubuntu version is 7.10 or Gusty Gibbion | 19:30 |

| gerro | I got a new computer and put my old hard drive into it now the graphics all messed up and I don't know what else anyone want to help? I tried reconfiguring xorg and manually editing it. Using an SS31T's integrated card think its a SIS | 19:33 |
| evil_tech | xintruder:sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 19:33 |
| jaggy | if i try to make a shortcut to gnome-terminal, and i try to cd at the same time i get an error about the sister project , how could i fix it ???? | 19:33 |

| LamerMan | hi everyone! how can i make ubuntu save memory dumps after program crash? | 19:33 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, yup, you just came up red on my screen =) | 19:33 |
| soundray | Xintruder: listen to evil_tech, or look if you have backups of the configuration: 'ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf*' | 19:34 |
| * iclebyte wants someone to do his Java coursework for him.. | 19:34 | |
| Darkmystere | Well guys while hes searching Can u tell me how to Apply this OSX theme? | 19:34 |
| iclebyte | i hate deadlines... | 19:34 |
| KingDaver | Thanks I was wondering how that worked | 19:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=585 this should work its not from ubuntu forums but its should work if it is too hard than download ntfs-3g from synaptic | 19:34 |
| Darkmystere | For my icons | 19:34 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, np =) | 19:34 |
| gerro | LamerMan: memory dumps? or just standard output? | 19:34 |
| LamerMan | core dumps | 19:34 |
| LamerMan | :) | 19:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=585: dont try to annoy someone who is trying to help you! | 19:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: dont try to annoy someone who is trying to help you! | 19:35 |
| LamerMan | memory dumps of programs that crash | 19:35 |
| soundray | LamerMan: special configuration shouldn't be necessary. Have you looked for core.* files in your $HOME? | 19:35 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: ntfs-3g is Installed by default | 19:35 |
| evil_tech | so does anyone know of a way to remote into my ubuntu box from windows that performs better than VNC (it was slow) but has a scalable window like VNC (using nomachine right now) | 19:35 |
| LamerMan | soundray, are these files hidden? I can't find any of them | 19:35 |
| gogogir | alright thanks for the help that worked :) | 19:35 |
| LamerMan | actually i use kubuntu | 19:35 |
| ArrPirate | so, there's no help for my tiny fonts issue? | 19:35 |
| Sonicadvance1 | when starting up my laptop, I get tons of "sysctl table check failed" what is wrong D: | 19:35 |
| jaggy | if i try to make a shortcut to gnome-terminal, and i try to cd at the same time i get an error about the sister project , how could i fix it ???? | 19:36 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_hunter: I wasnt trying to Annoy u but I had this annoying client that wont buy the house they have been calling and lowering offer for 3 months i can make like 1.5million off of selling it so u can feel my pain.. | 19:36 |
| linuxred_ | try cygwin | 19:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: read the link or check on google | 19:36 |
| soundray | LamerMan: no. | 19:36 |
| KingDaver | Does KDE 4.0 have compiz? | 19:36 |
| maxfreestyle | the comp picks up bios in cdrom | 19:36 |
| gerro | Jaggy: could you restate that? | 19:36 |
| nickrud | ArrPirate: probably someone with a clue will happen by later | 19:36 |
| jaggy | how do you mean gerro | 19:36 |
| soundray | LamerMan: maybe the working directory of your crashed program is something other than your home dir. | 19:36 |
| gerro | jaggy: what are you trying to do? | 19:36 |
| Dr_willis | evil_tech, with using vnc. there are some vncserver that have compression and a little better speed. But i found it best to use the most Minimal window manager you can with vnc. | 19:36 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: sorry cant feel your pain since im not the one trying to get paid any more ubuntu questions? | 19:36 |
| jaggy | well you know you can make shortcuts in your menu right ? | 19:36 |
| Duke_Fluke | KingDaver: KDE doesn not HAVE compiz the too are mutually exclusive | 19:37 |
| evil_tech | KingDaver:#kubuntu or #kde might have better answers to the questions you are asking | 19:37 |
| Duke_Fluke | two | 19:37 |
| gerro | Jaggy: are you trying to make it open a gnome-terminal in a specific directory? | 19:37 |
| jaggy | so gerro , i want to make one that pops up a terminal , and cd to /home/jaggy/Desktop | 19:37 |
| evil_tech | i dont know why VNC is so slow | 19:37 |
| LamerMan | soundray, i can't find anything neither in my home directory nor in the program directory :( | 19:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ArrPirate: whats your problem | 19:37 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: well Want to help me get sound working and fix the size of YouTube videos I cant make it full screen all the options are smushed together | 19:37 |
| masa | moro kaikil | 19:37 |
| jaggy | ye thats right | 19:37 |
| evil_tech | i have gigabit connections and the computer is sitting right next to the other one | 19:37 |
| gerro | jaggy: ah you don't have to do that, open a terminal and do gnome-terminal --help, itself is a command | 19:38 |
| gerro | Jaggy: just input where it should open at and it will | 19:38 |
| Eagle2160 | how do you browse an .inf driver? | 19:38 |
| soundray | LamerMan: hmm. Are you sure your program terminated abnormally? | 19:38 |
| juanche | metal.!!! | 19:38 |
| juanche | quien escucha metal? | 19:38 |
| evil_tech | nomachine is nice but i cant move the window to my second screen like i could with vnc | 19:38 |
| LamerMan | soundray, may be its becouse i use Kubuntu? is there a big difference besides KDE? | 19:38 |
| Eagle2160 | does anybody know how to browse a .inf driver? | 19:38 |
| jaggy | gerro ty :) i got it ( --working-directory=MAPNAAM ) | 19:38 |

| juanche | heavy??? | 19:39 |
| ali1234 | how do i install the grub stage1 and menu files into /boot/grub without installing grub to the boot record? | 19:39 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Eagle2160: hmmm I would search it but im sure its there or at leats in the ubuntu forums but can i ask what is the file about or where did you get it | 19:40 |
| glm1 | ahh. sorry. | 19:40 |
| LamerMan | soundray, maybe i could find them on entire hard drive. How do these files name? *core*? or *core.* | 19:40 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech well im trying to install my belkin wireless usb thing into ubuntu and the guide im looking at is telling me to browse the inf driver | 19:40 |
| Duke_Fluke | glml: gaim | 19:40 |
| soundray | LamerMan: core.* | 19:40 |
| niekie | Duke_Fluke: ahem. | 19:40 |
| glm1 | gaim it is! thanking you | 19:40 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech honestly i ahve no idea | 19:40 |
| DanLoz | glml: Giam/Pigeon | 19:40 |
| niekie | Duke_Fluke: it's Pidgin now ;) | 19:40 |
| gerro | Jaggy: all commands are programs and not statically linked can change your cli however you like | 19:40 |
| glm1 | pidgin it is! great success | 19:40 |
| LamerMan | soundray, ok thanks, i';; try to look up for them | 19:41 |
| Darkmystere | !Pidgin | glm1 | 19:41 |
| ubotu | glm1: pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 | 19:41 |
| niekie | glm1: and it not really is the best MSN client. | 19:41 |
| soundray | LamerMan: rather than 'find', I suggest you use 'sudo updatedb ; locate core' | 19:41 |
| jaggy | gerro: ok ty good to know :p | 19:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | glm1: its up to you i use pidgin, other like amsn which is much closer to msn and you could try gaim | 19:41 |

| Duke_Fluke | niekie: 8D ...sorry I only use IRC ...haha | 19:41 |
| KingDaver | iclebyte, I am a bit confused when I want to download files and install them particularly tar files what do I do? | 19:41 |
| niekie | Duke_Fluke: heh, good. | 19:41 |
| niekie | I hate MSN. | 19:41 |
| LamerMan | soundray, ok thanks | 19:41 |
| niekie | I use it, but I dislike it :( | 19:41 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: it must want you to find a specific .inf file from the driver files for the card. can't imagine it needing you to open the .inf | 19:41 |
| glm1 | i LOVED adium for os x. anything similar must be a winner | 19:41 |
| gerro | jaggy: hmm by any chance have you yet to try ls -a in your home directory? | 19:41 |
| KingDaver | I am used to the exe auto load | 19:41 |
| Darkmystere | glm1: Well Read the link i sent above please | 19:41 |
| evil_tech | but then i havent had to mess with ndiswrapper in a while | 19:41 |
| Duke_Fluke | my wife and my daughter both use msn | 19:42 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, I wouldn't bother, just install stuff though the System --> Administration --> Synaptics Package Manager. | 19:42 |
| ali1234 | .inf files are just text files. looking in them wont reveal much information though | 19:42 |
| DanLoz | Does anybody here have intimate knowledge of the Broadcom wifi issue? | 19:42 |
| ali1234 | DanLoz: a little | 19:42 |
| soundray | LamerMan: if you still can't find it, please ask again here, or try the #ubuntu-devel channel (it's not strictly ontopic there, but there are more programmers there and they might sympathize ;) | 19:42 |
| Darkmystere | glm1: it works with about just every IM protical out there so there u go it used to be called gaim | 19:42 |
| glm1 | gaim/pidgin. thanks y'all | 19:42 |
| jaggy | gerro: :p allot of time's , i need it allot for wargames ... :) | 19:42 |
| gerro | Duke_Fluke: yeah amsn is nice I got mine all themed up with blueish crystal like theme | 19:42 |
| KingDaver | Yeah I usually do that but like skype sometimes one needs to install the hard way.. | 19:42 |
| ArrPirate | Pirate_Hunter: my problem is that the login text, title bar text, and gnome panel menu text is unreadibly tiny unless i turn off compiz, which fixes all but the login screen's text | 19:42 |
| Duke_Fluke | gerro: nice | 19:42 |
| t0x[a] | i cant believe they dont have more x64 bit proggies out there | 19:43 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech yes the install involves the ndiswrapper but when i put in the commadn cd /media/cdrom0/drivers/ it does nothing | 19:43 |
| soundray | DanLoz: what I know is that Broadcom is a bad choice. Not a Linux-friendly manufacturer. | 19:43 |
| Pirate_Hunter | glm1: both are the same pidgin is the newest version for 7.10 if im not mistaken | 19:43 |
| kranny | anyone knows about UUID | 19:43 |
| soundray | !uuid | kranny | 19:43 |
| ubotu | kranny: 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) | 19:43 |
| glm1 | UUID == blkid | 19:43 |
| DanLoz | Ali1234: I'm pretty sure I've tried everything at this point. Just about every combinatino of ndiswrapper/firmware/fwcutter/ and the "quick fix" stickied on the forum. | 19:43 |
| gerro | jaggy: yeah me too some programs take up lot of resources always nice having all the config files together | 19:43 |
| nickrud | kranny: what's the problem? | 19:43 |
| LamerMan | soundray, that channel really seems to be more suitable :) | 19:43 |
| jaggy | gerro; you play wargames ? | 19:44 |
| KingDaver | iclebyte, and sometimes I want to install a theme and it gets confusing | 19:44 |
| Darkmystere | !list | glm1 | 19:44 |

| DanLoz | I guess my problem is I'm' not sure where to go next. | 19:44 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: thats something i don't like about ubuntu. no 'open command line here' right click prompt | 19:44 |
| gerro | DanLoz: try rmmod and modprobe every time you change something | 19:44 |
| kranny | glml:not that i dont know about it | 19:44 |
| mrxtambourinema | how do i blacklist "ath_pci" | 19:44 |
| mrxtambourinema | ? | 19:44 |
| kranny | i have a doubt | 19:44 |
| vivekb | does anyone know any good wifi drivers for santa rosa macbook pros? | 19:44 |
| ompaul | !blacklist | 19:44 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 19:44 |
| pocketprotector | does anybody know why my domain shows up as ins.gateway.2wire.net - fatal: Socket operation on non-socket | 19:44 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: rmmod and modprobe? | 19:44 |
| gerro | DanLoz: that reloads ndiswrapper so you can make sure it didn't die or choke up on a piece of firmware | 19:44 |
| soundray | LamerMan: it's not really for generic support, though -- wear a flame-proof vest ;) | 19:44 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ArrPirate: hmm you could try decreasing resolution to something bigger when compiz is on otherwise go into the system files and change there but than it may mess up is you turn off compiz... thats what i think of my head | 19:44 |
| pocketprotector | i checked a bunch of common files, however i didnt see anything close to my hostname. | 19:44 |
| gerro | Danloz: also did you compile ndiswrapper from source and be sure to make uninstall so all the old copies were removed? | 19:45 |
| ali1234 | DanLoz: it all depends on exactly what card you have. try to find some instructions that are specific to your card. some work better with ndiswrapper, and some work better with the fwcutter/open source driver | 19:45 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, here you go dude: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/#installing_a_package_manually scroll down to the bit that says "Source Package (.tar, .tar.gz etc) | 19:45 |
| iclebyte | google is your friend | 19:45 |
| ArrPirate | Pirate_Hunter: i can't increase my resolution | 19:45 |
| kranny | glml:Are UUID unique for diff partitions created | 19:45 |
| kranny | round the world | 19:45 |
| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: it didnt work.... | 19:45 |
| mrxtambourinema | do i put the module name in <>? | 19:45 |
| kranny | glml:Are UUID unique for diff partitions created round the world | 19:45 |
| ali1234 | DanLoz: you should know that fwcutter just extracts part of the windows driver needed by the open source driver... but it has to be the right driver for your card | 19:45 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: gotcha. One more question: When I do the restricted driver thing (via the desktop gui), the driver seriously slugs my 'puter. Is this normal? | 19:45 |
| nickrud | kranny: they are supposed to be, but under certain circumstances (like doing a bit for bit copy of a partition) you can get duplicates | 19:45 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ArrPirate: you mean decrease and why not... please take into consideration i cant use compiz but i will try and help | 19:45 |
| ArrPirate | i also can't decrease resolution | 19:46 |
| vivekb | i know this is a repeat of what i said before, but i think people just didn't see it: | 19:46 |
| vivekb | does anyone know any good wifi drivers for santa rosa macbook pros? | 19:46 |
| ArrPirate | i'm on an oldish lcd monitor | 19:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: how cna it not work did you edit fstab like it told you to and added the correct mask | 19:46 |
| robdig | pocketprotector: what program is giving you the error message/ | 19:46 |
| davef | if i install kubuntu-desktop package and then kde4-core...will i have any problems, or is this okay to do? | 19:46 |
| KingDaver | iclebyte thanks I saved it I will read it later.. I appreciate that! | 19:46 |
| kranny | Nickrud:can you make it more clearer | 19:46 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, your welcome | 19:46 |
| nickrud | kranny: http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen is a generator, has a link to more info about them and why they should be unique | 19:46 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech what do you mean right click prompt? | 19:47 |
| gerro | DanLoz: which driver is it? | 19:47 |
| DanLoz | Alie1234: Gotcha. If further experinementing doesn't work, should I just reinstall Ubuntu? Or is it probably just a nogo. | 19:47 |
| soundray | vivekb: if you have a Broadcom card, it's generally bad news. Try the help pages, though and look out for fwcutter (private message) | 19:47 |
| gerro | DanLoz: is anything output from dmesg that sounds bad? | 19:47 |
| KingDaver | How long have you had ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| soundray | !wifi > vivekb | 19:47 |

| Darkmystere | Well brb... | 19:47 |
| vivekb | i'm actually not sure if it is a broadcom card, but unfortunately all i can find is that its AirPort Extreme and google searches haven't helped me with the matter | 19:47 |
| ali1234 | DanLoz: reinstalling probably wont make any difference unless you have really messed it up (ie by installing three different versions of ndiswrapper and messing about with files in /etc) | 19:47 |
| gerro | DanLoz: what wireless device is it anyway make sure you mention that because sometimes you don't need to use ndiswrapper | 19:47 |
| iclebyte | about a month, been using linux for the last 6 years.. since i was 15! =) | 19:47 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: xubuntu has a prompt when you right click on a drive or folder to open a terminal at that location in the file structure | 19:48 |

| pete1 | gn all | 19:48 |
| soundray | vivekb: they are Broadcom, usually. Use lspci to find out for sure. | 19:48 |
| ali1234 | Xintruder: -new is for newer cards | 19:48 |
| iclebyte | ubuntu is one of the most productive distro's ive used yet tho, its awesome | 19:48 |
| DanLoz | Ali1234: I'm a total n00b. I probably borked something. | 19:48 |
| gerro | XIntruder: you use the other one if current one is broken? | 19:48 |
| KingDaver | so what do you think of it iclebyte? | 19:48 |
| iclebyte | its wikid =) | 19:48 |
| ali1234 | Xintruder: look at the package description in synaptic, it lists which cards each one is for | 19:48 |
| vivekb | soundray: ok thanks for the information | 19:48 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: Good question. It's the 43xx series chipset on a laptop. I'm not sure how to get more info than that. | 19:49 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech ummm ok i dont really know what you mean and what is xubuntu? | 19:49 |
| iclebyte | my mum used it to book a flight online the otherday and she couldnt tell the difference between ubuntu on my laptop and her windows XP machine - thats the holy grail of desktop linux. | 19:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !xubuntu | Eagle2160 | 19:49 |
| ubotu | Eagle2160: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels | 19:49 |
| gerro | DanLoz: lspci and lshw as root yields quite a bit of info put it in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and give the link | 19:49 |
| iclebyte | she's a technophobe | 19:49 |
| Dr_willis | iclebyte, no.. it would be best if she COULD tell the diff.. and could tell Ubuntu was better. | 19:49 |
| soundray | vivekb: have a look at this thread, perhaps there's something relevant in it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607044 | 19:49 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 19:49 |
| iclebyte | thats just not gonna happen =) | 19:50 |
| Dr_willis | We dont want to be held down by limitations/expectations of windows. | 19:50 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech ok so what do i need to do?? | 19:50 |
| KingDaver | I believe Ubuntu will surpass windows once they tune it a little more | 19:50 |
| evil_tech | how easy is it to set up multiple displays on ubuntu? | 19:50 |
| Dr_willis | I am constantly seeing features in gnome/kde/kde4 that would be 'nice' to have in windows.. but they are never going to get to windows any time soon. :) | 19:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_willis: windows has made it as an all rounder ubuntu still has long way to do until it comes to a time ppl wont need to come here | 19:50 |
| iclebyte | the only reason she didnt know was i gave her ubuntu with firefox running already. its cross platform software that helps for the transition | 19:51 |
| evil_tech | might have better luck controlling the windows box from ubuntu rather than the inverse | 19:51 |
| soundray | !dualhead > evil_tech, please read ubotu's private message | 19:51 |
| ali1234 | evil_tech: really easy if you are using nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | Pirate_Hunter, you dont want to know the # of 'tech support' things i do for windows.. :) and a lot of time the only answer is 'reformat/reinstall' | 19:51 |
| evil_tech | thanks | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | but we wont get that discussion started. | 19:51 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: http://pastebin.com/d401a83c1 | 19:51 |
| iclebyte | KingDaver, not for a while =). i'd like to see it in enterprise more though, i'm sick of RHEL | 19:51 |
| ali1234 | evil_tech: although it sometimes prevents compiz from working | 19:51 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech do you know what i need to do? | 19:51 |
| evil_tech | i havent messed with installing the nvidia drivers yet | 19:51 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: i havent used ndiswrapper in ages | 19:52 |
| iclebyte | Dr_willis, switch it off and on again or re-install =) | 19:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_willis: lol yah i cna imagine that but thats becasue ppl dont know better especially since everyone runs on root (i mean as admin) | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | Pirate_Hunter, i dont even try to help people remove malware any more. | 19:52 |
| gerro | Iclebyte: can you guys go to #ubuntu-offtopic no offense but I don't give a darn what my system's called so long as it out performs :) | 19:52 |
| * soundray is off to get pizza for all | 19:52 | |
| KingDaver | They need to simplify a little more.. | 19:52 |
| vivekb | what's a good irc client for ubuntu? | 19:52 |
| ali1234 | how do i install the grub files into /boot/grub without installing grub to the mbr? | 19:52 |
| evil_tech | yeah that makes my job as tech so much easier | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | !irc | vivekb | 19:52 |
| evil_tech | irssi | 19:52 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech so in other words you dunno what to do? | 19:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | im bored no questions are being asked so i might as well get distracted | 19:52 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: nope | 19:52 |
| zaxius | if you see a unix time like 1164840015.379, what is the stuff after the period? | 19:52 |
| ubotu | vivekb: A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 19:53 |
| Eagle2160 | crap | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | Pirate_Hunter, everyone is in #kubuntu going on about kde4 :) it seems | 19:53 |
| soundray | zaxius: decimal fractions of a second | 19:53 |
| vivekb | ubuto:thanks | 19:53 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: you might want to copy the driver you want to your home directory so you dont have to navigate as much | 19:53 |
| Duke_Fluke | Is there anyone here who like me had compiz setup on feisty and then upgraded to Gutsy? | 19:53 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_willis: help ppl remove malware thats a nightmare especially for windows and thanx will check out kde4 wont install it doh | 19:53 |
| gerro | Dr_willis: darn kde4 got more hype than vista I bet | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | gerro, it seems so. | 19:53 |
| iclebyte | this channels pretty strict huh, it's like being back at school :p | 19:53 |
| ali1234 | Duke_Fluke: yeah i did. it messed up pretty bad... | 19:54 |
| Dr_willis | iclebyte, when you get 3000+ people in here at times.. it has to be. | 19:54 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: Did that link come through? | 19:54 |
| iclebyte | Dr_willis, that's a fair comment =) | 19:54 |
| evil_tech | #xubuntu is pretty stict too though. and there is only maybe 50 in there at anyone time | 19:54 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, you have any insights to using avahi? maybe we can discuss the differences in using ifup or avahi-autoipd stuff? | 19:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Dr_willis: there is like one screen shot for kde 4 on the actual website so much for promoting it | 19:54 |
| Duke_Fluke | Mine worked ok but I had to install one package to configure it... | 19:55 |
| gerro | DanLoz: oh sorry was browsing some stuff | 19:55 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: No I'm not being pesty, I just wanted to be sure. | 19:55 |
| Dr_willis | Pirate_Hunter, its still needing a lot of work. :) | 19:55 |
| Pirate_Hunter | truna: no never used it sorry but will check it out since kde 4 disapointed me on their actuall site | 19:55 |
| KingDaver | I will leave to make room for others thanks iclebyte! | 19:55 |
| metguru_ | hey all, I seem to he having troubles with my graphics card in Ubuntu 7.10. I tried to set up dual monitors and screwed everything up, and now when I boot, I can't even see whats going on. The login window appears, but is all messed up. I don't really care about dual monitor that much, I just want to be able to use ubuntu again | 19:55 |
| DanLoz | Btw: What is the preffered IRC client? This lost thing seems a little bit....ya know....su><0r. | 19:55 |
| laminaatplaat | hello | 19:56 |
| ali1234 | Duke_Fluke: basically none of my compiz settings transfered. i had to make a new theme to get rid of the ugly ugly default compiz one... couldnt get the ubuntu one no matter what i did... maybe that's what was in the package you installed? | 19:56 |
| evil_tech | DanLoz: pidgin is nice and there is Irssi if you CLI based | 19:56 |
| Pirate_Hunter | truna: intersting very nice but still have no clue since i dont use it | 19:56 |
| Eagle2160 | how in the world can i get an internet connectiion on ubuntu?!?!?!?! | 19:56 |
| truna | metguru_, have you tried the venerable technique of ctrl+alt+ + or - to switch resolution? | 19:56 |
| Dr_willis | DanLoz, this is Linux!@ use what you like. :) we dont do no forcing of things onp people! :P | 19:56 |
| Monobi | Eagle2160, hardwire | 19:56 |
| gerro | DanLoz: oh this it Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 02) | 19:56 |
| Eagle2160 | monobi no idea what that is | 19:56 |
| iclebyte | Pirate_Hunter, there's a good article on ubuntu fridge: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/guide.php i tried it this afternoon and it's slower than my gnome desktop. | 19:56 |
| gerro | DanLoz: what does the ndiswrapper wiki list for firmware to use? | 19:57 |
| Duke_Fluke | ali1234: possibly everything went smooth for me prob cause i used the default theme :O | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | Eagle2160, care to ask a slightly better question? that one is a little vague | 19:57 |
| laminaatplaat | I just started to reinstall ubuntu 7.10 and it says there 164 updates (around 230mb!) is this normal? or do i have some setting wrong? | 19:57 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, i dont use it knowingly myself, its seems avahi is in the foreground doing all this network management that i have not control of | 19:57 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: he means a regular Ethernet connection as opposed to the wireless | 19:57 |
| metguru_ | truna: its not the resolution, I was messing around with the drivers to try to get dual monitor to work | 19:57 |
| ali1234 | Duke_Fluke: so did i before upgrade. then it turned in to that horrible red thing | 19:57 |
| DanLoz | Pidgin supports IRC now? Swwwwwwwweeeeeeat | 19:57 |
| Dr_willis | Eagle2160, i just plug mine into my router.. and there we go. :P | 19:57 |
| Monobi | Eagle2160, plug it into an ethernet cable | 19:57 |
| evil_tech | i've not ran into a wired NIC that ubuntu couldnt use | 19:57 |
| ali1234 | Duke_Fluke: i tried deleting all the compiz settings but no | 19:57 |
| metguru_ | truna: well, I'm fairly sure its not the resolution | 19:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | metguru_: you can reconfigure xorg, but if you made a backup of it you cna restore that otherwise reconfigure xorg unless its loaded in fail safe monde 800x600 just go into system and do it from there | 19:57 |
| Eagle2160 | i can not do that i dont have a cord to do that | 19:57 |
| Monobi | Eagle2160, are you saying your wirecard doesnt work? | 19:58 |
| Monobi | *wireless | 19:58 |
| Duke_Fluke | ali1234: weird... I like that behaviour of the windows better on feisty | 19:58 |
| DanLoz | Gerro, I'll check real quick | 19:58 |
| Eagle2160 | monobi no i cant firgure out how to install it | 19:58 |
| metguru_ | Pirate_Hunter: how do I reconfigure it? I know where the file is, but i dont' know what to edit | 19:58 |
| Monobi | Eagle2160, install what? ubuntu ? | 19:58 |
| arooni | i have gutsy and skype 2.0, and a sound blaster live card | 19:58 |
| laminaatplaat | I just started to reinstall ubuntu 7.10 and it says there 164 updates (around 230mb!) is this normal? or do i have some setting wrong? | 19:58 |
| evil_tech | Monobi: he is new to *nix | 19:58 |
| truna | metguru_, okay, am just suggesting..i kind of embarass myself showing an ubuntu liveCD, and it wont display at all after a boot..forgetting these venerable old tricks | 19:58 |

| Pirate_Hunter | metguru_: one sec need to find the link again and i agve it out about 1h or so agao | 19:59 |
| truna | laminaatplaat, you can choose to update all of them or pick and choose..to lower your download a lil bit, do the updates at different times if you wish | 19:59 |
| Eagle2160 | monobi yes i know that but you must install the belkin cd for it to recognize what it is and use it | 19:59 |
| steve79 | earlier someone served me a link to the instructions on how to get firefox32 bit working on the computer, since then I crashed and am now starting over, anyone know how to seed the bot to give me the link | 20:00 |
| musikgoat | Eagle2160: the belkin cd will not help you in linux | 20:00 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: are you 100% sure that ubuntu cant use it without messing with ndiswrapper | 20:00 |
| Eagle2160 | monobi and i can not install the cd kuzz ubuntu does not recognize it | 20:00 |
| Eagle2160 | musikgoat yes i know! | 20:00 |
| Monobi | Eagle2160, ... then burn a new cd | 20:00 |
| spidermankevin | im thinking of installing ubuntu on my core 2 dou | 20:00 |
| musikgoat | sorry | 20:00 |
| iclebyte | Pirate_Hunter, my thinking is similar, only reason i tried it was because I wanted to burn my brothers OSX =) | 20:00 |
| Strauss | I search the german ubuntu channel ? | 20:00 |
| Pirate_Hunter | metguru_:: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:00 |
| laminaatplaat | truna my internet can handle it but it is strange because i see things like Compiz in the list that isnt kinda standard software right?? | 20:00 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: What's there to think about? | 20:00 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: Runs awesome | 20:00 |

| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 20:01 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech i have no idea all of the guides i have been looking at for the past 5 hours have all had something to do with ndiswrapper | 20:01 |
| DanLoz | Gerro: The NDISwrapper site does not list that card specifically | 20:01 |
| spidermankevin | hardware compatibility's | 20:01 |
| metguru_ | Pirate_Hunter: how do i get to the command line to do this instead of the login menu? | 20:01 |

| truna | laminaatplaat, honestly I dont know what is the standard anymore, i kind of just pick and choose what I use and only update those, the ones i dont use, i dont update | 20:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | metguru_: type that in terminal and follow the intructions | 20:01 |
| metguru_ | Pirate_Hunter: I can't get to terminal, the graphics are all screwed up | 20:02 |
| laminaatplaat | hmmm well im ultra noobie so I sure as hell dont know :P | 20:02 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160: plug the adapter in then go to System-> Administration-> Network and see if it shows up | 20:02 |

| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: Do you have some weird hardware? Should work ok... | 20:02 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: That is possible | 20:02 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech oh if it had been that easy this woulda been solved long ago | 20:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | metguru_: what do you mean by screwed i.e. its all fuzzy all over the place or it is in shell base (looks like dos) | 20:03 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: Gutsy has a much better gfx system controller thing | 20:03 |
| spidermankevin | via chip set | 20:03 |
| truna | jalvini, what is failing? is the windows server up and running? | 20:03 |

| spidermankevin | what are some good live cd's to try besides ubuntu | 20:05 |
| evil_tech | ubuntu apparently doesnt like his particular adapter | 20:05 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: When you start up Gutsy, and should tell you that you have an ATI card -- and it should ask about enabling the 3rd party (closed source) driver --- do it | 20:05 |
| truna | unagi, did you try to restart gdm? maybe a reboot will correct it? | 20:05 |
| Duke_Fluke | what is the output of "sudo lsmod" | 20:05 |
| unagi | ill try reboot | 20:05 |
| Pirate_Hunter | nik_: what is your sound card and is it restricted if so download correct drivers | 20:05 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: Well if you want to try Ubuntu... then you want to use Ubuntu's live CD | 20:05 |
| glm1 | knoppix was the worlds first cool livecd | 20:05 |
| nik_ | Pirate_Hunter: i dont know what my soundcard is,its in a laptop i think its an ati | 20:05 |
| truna | spidermankevin, fedora 8 also damn small linux, install a vmware or a virtual vbox | 20:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | spidermankevin: the options are many check the linux site online | 20:06 |
| Duke_Fluke | nik_ what type of laptop is it? | 20:06 |
| Cpudan80 | spidermankevin: The only other distro I'd recommend to a newb is SuSE -- but Ubuntu blows suse away in many respects | 20:06 |
| Eagle2160 | monobi oh my good lord above!!!! i already did that dont you think that would have been the first thing i did? ubuntu does not recognize what the heck this stupid little stick is ok? you have to install the program on there in order for it to recognize what it is i need to figure out how in the world to install it ive been looking for about 5 hours now and im not finding any frggin help at all | 20:06 |
| nik_ | Duke_Fluke: toshiba satilite | 20:06 |
| Cpudan80 | Mainly in the area of closed source drivers | 20:06 |
| glm1 | good lord above!!1 | 20:06 |
| Duke_Fluke | nik what is the model# and what is the output of "sudo lspci" | 20:06 |
| Cpudan80 | and package management of course | 20:06 |
| ali1234 | how can i see the source code of the ubuntu installer? | 20:06 |
| truna | Cpudan80, on the enterprise side ie corporate, suse is formidable | 20:06 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160:goose fraba | 20:06 |
| Eagle2160 | monobi and im sorry to snap at you but im gettin really ticked right now | 20:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | nik_: boot into windows if you can and check system info or type the make and nu,ber of you laptop and it should tell you what sound card it come with | 20:07 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech goose fraba? whats that mean? | 20:07 |
| Duke_Fluke | nik: actually you could try "sudo lspci|grep audio" | 20:07 |
| Cpudan80 | truna: Most definitely | 20:07 |
| evil_tech | Eagle2160:calm down man take a breather | 20:07 |
| nik_ | Pirate_Hunter: A105-s2141 | 20:07 |

| Duke_Fluke | nik: that should tell your sound card: | 20:07 |
| Slyboots | Im having a odd ACPI issue with a Thinkpad R61 and the latest updates of Ubuntu Gutsy in that it does not seem to work at all, Shutting the lid does not make the laptop enter suspend and disconnecting the AC line makes the machine hibernate :P | 20:07 |
| nik_ | Pirate_Hunter: i cant boot into windows | 20:07 |
| Cpudan80 | truna: But it doesn't do wifi and other weird situations very well | 20:07 |
| nik_ | Duke_Fluke: cant boot into windows | 20:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Eagle2160: what is your problem exactly sorry i dont remeber | 20:08 |
| jalvini | can ne1 help me out | 20:08 |

| Xintruder | how do I uninstall using command promt | 20:08 |
| Slyboots | Cpudan80, I've set it to Suspend on lid-close on battery power and hibernate on low battery | 20:08 |
| Duke_Fluke | nik: i didn't ask you to boot into windows just post output of "lspci|grep audio" | 20:08 |
| Xintruder | i mean console | 20:08 |
| Pirate_Hunter | nik_: check it online and why cant you boot into windows (unless you havent got a windows partition that explains it) | 20:08 |
| truna | Cpudan80, i comfy with suse though :) | 20:08 |
| ali1234 | Xintruder: sudo apt-get remove <package> | 20:08 |
| Eagle2160 | evil_tech well you see ive been trying to get this to work for about a week when i installed this ubuntu it erased windows kuzz i guess i did something wrong but i dunno if this ubuntu doesnt work i completely screwed up a very expenisive computer to the point of basically uselessness do you know how mad my parents will be? not to mention how much i need to use this stinkin computer | 20:08 |
| evil_tech | Slyboots: have you tried ThinkWiki? They had some good how-tos | 20:08 |
| Slyboots | Hibernate does not work either as I get graphical corruption and the inablity to log into the desktop enviroment (although GDM loads) untill I reboot | 20:08 |
| Cpudan80 | truna: I used to use suse -- but then it messed up a lot with 10.3, so I came over here :-) | 20:09 |
| nik_ | Pirate_Hunter: im booting linux from an external HD because my internal corrupted and i havent gotten a replacement | 20:09 |
| Slyboots | evil_tech, I tried following their guides with no luck :( | 20:09 |
| spidermankevin | is gusty oa comman package | 20:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Eagle2160: it would be nice if i knew what happened and how an expensive comp is paper weight if the processor and ram work | 20:09 |
| jalvini | can someone help me out | 20:09 |
| jalvini | can someone help me out | 20:09 |

| kharnov | Hello! | 20:13 |
| ghost | koganei jalvini whats the prob??? | 20:13 |
| === kharnov is now known as Kharnov | ||
| Jowi | jalvini, ask a question. the more detailed the better. | 20:13 |
| spidermankevin | ubuntu is 15gig install right | 20:13 |
| ghost | jalvini whats the prob??? | 20:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Eagle2160: oh ok now i get it even knowing i dont know what type of hardware you have | 20:13 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !ask | jalvini | 20:13 |
| jalvini | i am just trying to ftp a website ...the server is a windows server | 20:13 |
| ubotu | jalvini: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 20:14 |
| truna | jalvini, what is failing? is the windows server up and running? | 20:14 |
| spidermankevin | so maybe a 20 gig portation would suite it well? | 20:14 |
| Eagle2160 | truna its a 75d7050 belkin g usb network adapter its basicaslly a jumpdrive you stick and allows you to connect to wireless networks | 20:14 |
| spidermankevin | or would that be two small | 20:14 |
| Pirate_Hunter | wow what lag... i wonder if it is my connection or the bot | 20:14 |
| spidermankevin | ? | 20:14 |
| jalvini | the website is up yes | 20:14 |
| truna | jalvini, okay, what is the issue when doing an ftp? | 20:14 |
| jalvini | i am a noob guys bear with me please | 20:15 |
| Eagle2160 | truna all i need to do is install the program that it uses but i dont know how to do that if i simply stick it in it does not recognize what it is | 20:15 |
| evil_tech | spidermankevin:ubuntu doesnt eat nowhere near 15gigs, so 20gig would be sufficient unless you are going to have a lot of stuff in /home | 20:15 |
| jalvini | i dont know how to do it from ubuntu lol | 20:15 |
| ghost | jalvini whats the prob??? | 20:15 |
| Jowi | spidermankevin, around 5GB is adequate for root (/). base install is around 1.5GB so that will give it space to grow. then you can make a home partition (/home) as big as you need for personal files. | 20:15 |
| spidermankevin | i might just put it on my other comp | 20:15 |
| spidermankevin | it only has a 10 gig drive as far as i can remamber | 20:15 |
| jalvini | i use ipswitch from windows | 20:15 |
| ali1234 | hmm i gather that ubiquity uses python? | 20:15 |
| truna | Eagle2160, do this, on a terminal type dmesg and at the very end what did your system recognize that usb thingy you plugged in? | 20:15 |
| Duke_Fluke | Eagle2160 can you open "Accessories--->Terminal" and then type in "lsusb" post back what it reports? | 20:15 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Eagle2160: you know that little comp on your ubuntu or network in system>admin does that no pick your router | 20:16 |
| truna | jalvini, ftp www.thatremotesite.com | 20:16 |
| spidermankevin | it should make for a better personal webserver then windows | 20:16 |
| truna | jalvini, ftp www.thatremotesite.com on an xterminal, you type that | 20:16 |
| jalvini | what is an xterminal | 20:16 |
| truna | jalvini, that would be like your msdos command prompt | 20:17 |
| Jowi | spidermankevin, 10GB should be enough unless you intend to store gigabytes of multimedia files. | 20:17 |
| jalvini | ooo ok | 20:17 |
| mrmonday | does anyone know of any apps for taking videos of my screen? | 20:17 |
| ghost | jalvini try a net search | 20:17 |
| Eagle2160 | duke fluke it recognizes what it is but i guess not how to use it its to long for me to type in here | 20:17 |
| spidermankevin | put apachie php and mysql | 20:17 |
| truna | jalvini, also i suggest buying a book or search google for some tutorial on how to use linux | 20:17 |
| Duke_Fluke | copy and paste | 20:17 |

| Uaine | Hi all, I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Server, installed from CD. When I installed, I had the hard drive on master, and the CD-rom on slave. | 20:18 |
| truna | Eagle2160, use pastebin to paste okay? | 20:18 |
| _jwd_ | ubuntu 7.1 HP All-In-One 1610 anyone have anything similiar? | 20:18 |
| Eagle2160 | im talking to you on my laptop but this is all on my desktop | 20:18 |
| ghost | jalvini try lea linux.com | 20:18 |
| mrmonday | thanks Jowi and ubotu :) | 20:18 |
| cristina | any sugestions about removing the old driver and installing the new one? | 20:18 |
| Duke_Fluke | o ok what does it recognize the wireless usb nic as? can you type what it is? | 20:18 |
| truna | Uaine, not a good idea, they tend to slow down install, having both on same controllers | 20:18 |

| Pirate_Hunter | cristina: huh? whats the matter? | 20:19 |
| Eagle2160 | truna i dont know what pastebin is im using 2 different computers | 20:19 |
| Duke_Fluke | Ealge: i'll be waiting ;) | 20:19 |
| truna | cristina, man modprobe, but to remove a module is usually modprobe -r modulename | 20:19 |
| Pirate_Hunter | !pastebin | Eagle2160 | 20:19 |
| ubotu | Eagle2160: 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) | 20:19 |
| ghost | anyone know the channel for fedora plz? | 20:20 |
| Uaine | Truna: Yes, I know that. So I removed it, having no more use for it. Then bootup became really slow, and cryptsetup no longer can find my encrypted LVM volume when the CD-rom is disconnected. | 20:20 |
| DanLoz | Truna: Any guess on which book is decent? I'm great when it comes to windows, but this linux thing has brought down my world | 20:20 |
| truna | cristina, to see whats loaded, lsmod | 20:20 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ghost: google it or check on your irc client you cna do channel searches | 20:20 |
| DanLoz | I actually logged into vista this morning to remind me of the days whne I was good with computer | 20:20 |

| Uaine | So, my question is, what do I need to do before I remove my CD-rom, so that the boot process can work normally? | 20:21 |
| truna | DanLoz, umm ubuntu bible is okay , spend lots of quarters in a borders book store for coffee while parsing a book :) | 20:21 |
| ghost | evil_tech i doesnt work :( | 20:21 |
| evil_tech | worked for me | 20:21 |
| DanLoz | Pirate_Hunter: You're laughing as though I'm kidding. Seriously. Vista is so bad that it forced me to go to linux. A real transition, ask you me. | 20:21 |
| Pirate_Hunter | evil_tech: behave what works for you may not work for someone else | 20:21 |
| truna | DanLoz, you can also download an ebook version of that ubuntu bible and read the pdf, if you like reading online stuff | 20:22 |
| ghost | evil_tech mayby i am banned or something tanx anyway ;) | 20:22 |
| aro | ghost: #fedora | 20:22 |
| evil_tech | could be on wrong server maybe? | 20:22 |
| aro | ghost: you have to be a registered user. | 20:22 |

| aro | ghost: or you cannot join. | 20:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | DanLoz: i know ive used while on holiday and hated it, how it did stuff was just annyoing, they took time to do all fancy animations but didt improve the os | 20:22 |
| vivekb | does anyone know anything about mad-wifi | 20:22 |

| Pirate_Hunter | ghost: youre not banend at elats not from here.. why would you say that | 20:23 |
| jalvini | also i have on more question... when i boot ubuntu i do not get a boot screen... when i first used the live cd there was a boot screen now it only goes black for about 2 mins and the login screen pops up.. also sometime right after i login it goes black and no desktop pops up and i am forced to shut my comp down... what can cause that | 20:23 |
| DanLoz | Can Pirate_Hunter: Here's the amazing thing: The first thing I did was play with compiz to give myself something to look at. I managed to do infinitely more than vista ultimate super premium with like half the horses | 20:23 |

| mrga_cro | what shoud i do | 20:24 |
| mrga_cro | mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist | 20:24 |
| Duke_Fluke | Eagle: it looks like you're going to have to use the dreaded Ndiswrapper | 20:24 |
| Eagle2160 | duke fluke i already know that... | 20:24 |
| truna | Uaine, umm you installed your server in an LVM ? i think the suggestion from what i read is to have a separte partition just for /boot to install grub there, but dont put grub into LVM | 20:24 |
| ghost | Pirate_Hunter bye all | 20:24 |
| Eagle2160 | duke fluke do you know how to use it kuzz if you dont then its just a waste of time trust me iver been trying for 5 hours | 20:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | well fedora channel seems strict just did a search on xchat for all channel related to fedora and #fedora seems to ban those that poll | 20:24 |
| evil_tech | mrga_cro:you cant mount an entire device. you need a partition number. /dev/hda1 for example | 20:25 |

| mrga_cro | but always get that | 20:25 |
| valemon | if you got dvd is it the same thing? | 20:25 |

| truna | jalvini, control alt plus or minus sometimes you have to repeat as it cycle through the resolutions | 20:29 |
| korrika | jalvini, try editing /boot/grub/menu.lst file, there you can change the default timeout of grub | 20:30 |
| mrmonday | what can I use for editing screen casts eg cropping them? | 20:30 |
| Pirate_Hunter | truna: it goes through the preset resolutions which may not be what he/she wants or desires | 20:30 |
| truna | jalvini and while you are modifying menu.lst maybe comment out the hiddenmenu to see the boot process messages | 20:31 |

| Pirate_Hunter | truna: ok | 20:33 |
| Duke_Fluke | you could still try it though | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | You can run most KDE apps under ubuntu.. it just installs a few addl apps/for overhead | 20:33 |
| Duke_Fluke | what about frostwire as alreay mentioned? | 20:33 |
| Pirate_Hunter | KingDaver: do you really need kde? | 20:34 |
| foug | Duke_Fluke: well it shows up in apt-get , but it says torrent client for KDE ;\ maybe I should switch to KDE, I'm unhappy with the latest version of gnome | 20:34 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Duke_Fluke: they say ktorrents works on gnome but i had problems with it use deluge as it is emant for gnome | 20:34 |

| Dr_willis | ttt--, i think bash has a feature like that allready.. or make an alias. | 20:35 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Duke_Fluke: forstwire is useless full of bugs and annoying but than thats my experience with it you could try gtk-gnutella | 20:35 |

| foug | FrostRat: deluge is another desktop environment? | 20:36 |

| FrostRat | no, deluge is a bittorrent program... I'm almost certain that there's a torrent creation plugin if you're making your own torrents | 20:37 |
| ttt-- | Dr_willis: it forgots the alias once i close the terminal. :( | 20:37 |
| Uaine | Could anyone explain to me what LVM has to do with removable media drives though? I wouldn't have though that removing a CD-rom drive could have any affect on LVM. | 20:37 |
| ttt-- | forgets* | 20:37 |
| syntaxerror55 | Duke_Fluke, I meant is there anything *buntu-specific | 20:37 |
| Pirate_Hunter | KingDaver: kde will also install a lot of apps whihc you many never use and it quite large packet | 20:37 |
| KingDaver | OK Pirate Hunter makes sense | 20:37 |
| Dr_willis | ttt--, bash basics.. Yes.. you are correct. | 20:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | KingDaver: np | 20:38 |
| Dr_willis | ttt--, if you want them permentant they need to be in your .bashrc or .bash_profile | 20:38 |
| ttt-- | can i make it remember somehow? | 20:38 |
| KingDaver | Thanks | 20:38 |
| Dr_willis | ttt--, of course. :) | 20:38 |
| ttt-- | oh, i see | 20:38 |

| ubotu | ttt--: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 20:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gasten: Whats that link for? | 20:39 |
| truna | Uaine, i have not used LVM, but it seems LVM puts or groups a bunch of devices into a virtual group right? so if your cdrom was part of it and got removed...umm LVM group you created is not complete and it complains ? | 20:39 |
| ttt-- | i'll add it to my hundreds of manuals to read :/ | 20:39 |
| Dr_willis | ttt--, google for the 'using bash' book by oriealy - its a must read also. :) | 20:39 |
| ttt-- | ok thanks | 20:39 |
| Dr_willis | ttt--, bash is a fundamental thing.. | 20:39 |
| atoponce | does ubuntu have an ntp time server? something like time.ubuntu.com or ntp.ubuntu.com? | 20:39 |
| Uaine | The CD-rom wasn't part of it though. Only the fixed hard drive is part of the LVM. | 20:39 |
| Dr_willis | ttt--, the 'advanced bash scripting guide' is also a must read. or at least skim to come back to when you want examples. | 20:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | atoponce: yes it does have a time server | 20:40 |
| truna | Uaine, did what I sadi made sense? | 20:40 |
| atoponce | Pirate_Hunter: what's the url? | 20:40 |
| rmrmrm | Would someone point me a instructions for adding mp3 support to sound juicer in Gutsy? The stuff I found with google seems dated | 20:40 |
| astro76 | atoponce: it's ntp.ubuntu.com | 20:40 |
| atoponce | astro76: thx | 20:41 |
| Pirate_Hunter | lol that im not sure you can probably find it online or by trying to set up you system time to connect to the server | 20:41 |
| truna | Uaine, you have to look at how LVM created the groups, typically you use LVM in an enterprise systems where one does not just remove a cdrom.. | 20:41 |
| Xintruder | Guys, I installed the latest nvidia driver manually. How do I enable it now? | 20:41 |
| Jowi | atoponce, pool.ntp.org does have a large selection otherwise. | 20:42 |
| Uaine | Truna, it makes sense. I do understand the basics of how LVM works, but when I set it up, I didn't think it extended to the CD-rom. I thought it was just for the hard drive. | 20:42 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bored so bored | 20:42 |
| Xintruder | guys? | 20:42 |
| Uaine | Later on, I'm planning on linking this machine to a very large RAID 5 array, which is why I opted for the LVM. | 20:43 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: Why did you do it manually? Are you using an old version of Ubuntu? | 20:43 |
| truna | Uaine, i am just thinking out loud, throwing ideas that may caused your issues..am no LVM expert | 20:43 |
| Xintruder | FrostRat: Because xlv advised me to do so, also, because gutsy installs an older driver | 20:43 |
| FrostRat | You got it from the nvidia site? | 20:44 |
| Xintruder | yup | 20:44 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: It's been a while since I've done it manually, but I believe the readme on the site walks you through everything | 20:45 |
| Xintruder | :( | 20:45 |
| Devrethman | Is there a nifty way to get rhythmbox or some other music player to play things gapless? | 20:45 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: did you have to modify your xorg.conf by hand? Once you've done that, the next time you start x it should be ok | 20:46 |

| Othello | I am installing Ubuntu on a new notebook. Should I partition the disk? | 20:46 |
| ali1234 | never install nvidia driver from nvidia site. i dont think they actually test that thing, just release it and see what happens. | 20:46 |
| Slyboots | Does anyone here have a Thinkpad R61, that makes a.. unusual noise when running from the abttery? | 20:46 |
| astro76 | Othello: the installer can handle it for you | 20:46 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ali1234: scary | 20:46 |
| Kanedacorp | hi all, quick question, how do I add places to the"places" menu? | 20:47 |
| mojo | nm - i found it... it's called "monkey barrel google" | 20:47 |
| Devrethman | Is there a descent music player for gnome that can do gapless playback? | 20:47 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: It's a good idea to print out the readme before you do it... you've got a few steps to follow exactly. As alil234 says, the latest Ubuntu will install one for you, and it's really easy. | 20:47 |
| ali1234 | Pirate_Hunter: the windows drivers arn't much better | 20:47 |
| evil_tech | Slyboots:nope T60 that runs fine. have you perused thinkpad forums? they helped me to get some power issues fixed | 20:47 |
| Devrethman | ali: you think nvidia's are bad, have you ever owned an ATI card? | 20:48 |
| Slyboots | thinkpad forums? | 20:48 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ali1234: i dont use it it must not be more crappier than my own graphics card i cant even run compiz | 20:48 |
| Othello | astro76: Yes, but should I partition at all, or just use the entire disk? I don't know why I should but someone here said it could be handy. | 20:48 |
| ali1234 | Devrethman: yes, they are at least consistently bad... with nvidia, something different is broken in each new version | 20:48 |
| evil_tech | slyboots: just punch it in to google. an entire forum for thinkpad owners | 20:48 |
| Dr_willis | Kanedacorp, its so easy you will scream.. just drag/drop a folder over to the places side bar in the file manager. :) | 20:48 |
| astro76 | Othello: the installer will create a / and swap partition... are you wanting to make a separate /home also? | 20:48 |
| evil_tech | das ist sehr cool | 20:48 |
| Devrethman | ali1234: lol | 20:48 |
| ali1234 | anyway my point is, you are generally better off with the ubuntu one, unless you really know what you are doing | 20:48 |
| Slyboots | Thanks evil_tech I'll check them out | 20:48 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: just checked the site, looks like the script they've got there should configure pretty much everything for you | 20:48 |
| ___gary___ | mm | 20:49 |
| FrostRat | alil234: agreed... and the restricted drivers manager makes it soooo easy to install | 20:49 |
| Uaine | tritium, Thanks for thinking about it. I'll do some more reading on LVM, and maybe I can figure this out. | 20:49 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, you're bored, would you like to help me figure this out? | 20:49 |
| Othello | astro76: No. I don't know of any advantage to partitioning. I've never bothered with it before. | 20:49 |
| bastid_raZor | Othello:: making a /home is very useful for preserving your files in the event of a problem with your / (root/filesystem) | 20:49 |
| Xintruder | FrostRat: it should, when it completes 'successfully', i reboot, run compiz and then ubuntu tries to install nvidia-glx-new! and im like what theh ell?!? | 20:50 |
| macd | Has anyone experienced mplayer-mozzile plugin magically disappearing last night, or a day before with the updates? (gutsy) | 20:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | truna: figure what out and it depends if i cna help but will give it a shot | 20:50 |
| Othello | That sounds good. How do I do that? | 20:50 |
| fr500 | hey | 20:50 |
| ali1234 | Othello: you can mount /usr as read only if you make it a separate partition... if you are really paranoid that is | 20:50 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: I've never bothered with compiz... couldn't tell you. :( | 20:50 |

| Task | How do i make a mysql server thing run on my machine? | 20:51 |
| ali1234 | Task: just install it | 20:51 |
| Kanedacorp | Dr_willis: Thanks! I was trying to drag and drop it onto the metacity bar or the places menu itself :D | 20:51 |
| Xintruder | FrostRat: :( bah....... this sucks.. lol. | 20:51 |
| Othello | Oh. Well, I'm not that paranoid. I was just wondering ehy nickrud said it could be handy. | 20:51 |
| le | Just loaded up a new PC, wanting the fancy graphics / eye candy...? | 20:51 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: it probably doesn't realize you've got it installed, since you didn't install the driver through apt-get / synaptic | 20:51 |
| ali1234 | Task: (using synaptic or whatever package manager you prefer) | 20:51 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, then I selected mbr, and everything is working, now If i reconfigure using the older 2nd drive, i cant boot anymore | 20:52 |
| Dr_willis | Kanedacorp, heh - it pays to explore the os :P i just discoverd that by accident one day | 20:52 |
| mrga_cro | hello | 20:52 |
| Task | ok | 20:52 |
| Xintruder | FrostRat: your right, thats why i was thinking of to enable it or something >< | 20:52 |
| drgonzo00000 | Can anyone help me with my internet. I setup ndiswrapper with the right driver and now I can see all the networks around me, but when i connect to my network i get 5 blue bars where connection manager was, but i'm still unable to use the internet | 20:52 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: so I guess you were having problems with the driver Ubuntu gives you? | 20:52 |
| mrga_cro | so many problems are happe | 20:52 |
| Kanedacorp | aye, its my first week on ubuntu :) | 20:52 |
| Othello | Thanks, eveyone. | 20:52 |
| mrga_cro | so many problems are happening witohut a reason | 20:52 |
| astro76 | Othello: yes a /home partition can be useful but if you are just starting out with Linux and want to get going don't worry about it | 20:52 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, when i say reconfigure , i meant getting back to the original drives i used, | 20:52 |
| Xintruder | thats sight, memmory leak with compiz, crashes my laptop ! | 20:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | truna: when it asked you where to put grub you could it put on any of the drives why would you edit grub? | 20:52 |
| ZarakiSan | Hey guys, just a question. Is there a good way to compleetely remove KDE and isntall Gnome? | 20:52 |
| FrostRat | mrga_cro: What's happening? | 20:52 |
| Xintruder | right* | 20:52 |

| FrostRat | Xintruder: I'd still go the Ubuntu way, unless you absolutely can't... less headaches | 20:53 |
| ZarakiSan | ircleuser, what kind of a mac do you have? | 20:53 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, i have multiple boot, different versions of linux, windows, etc.. | 20:53 |
| evil_tech | drgonzo00000: try bringing the interface down then up again | 20:53 |
| FrostRat | mrga_cro: ok, I'll check it out | 20:53 |
| Othello | astro76: Yes. I'm just a beginner. But, Ubuntu is the thing I want to learn in 2008. | 20:53 |

| Dr_willis | ircleuser, depends on what processor its using.. | 20:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | truna: that link should help you hopefully restore grub as long as you know where it was installed originally | 20:55 |
| Task | I need it for the very basic server for xdcc | 20:55 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: You could always do compiz manually, too. :D Not sure how hard that is, though. | 20:55 |
| _mug | linux__: pick one, install the package or compile from source, the the docs an be happy :) unless you provide more information | 20:55 |
| truna | Pirate_Hunter, its not the grub i need, its the mbr portion thats got screwed | 20:55 |
| ajitam | hi how can i run disc manager from terminal ? | 20:55 |
| ali1234 | Task: well, i have no idea what xdcc is... but most apps that use mysql will either configure it for you or give you specific instructions how to set it up | 20:56 |
| Xintruder | what do you mean "do"?? | 20:56 |
| linux__ | Which package is good? I tried post fix but it is tooo hard for me | 20:56 |
| _mug | linux__: the=read | 20:56 |

| mrga_cro | ok | 20:56 |
| ZarakiSan | Hey guys. Is there a good way of deinstalling KDE and installing Gnome on Kubuntu? | 20:56 |

| evil_tech | ajitam: use fdisk | 20:57 |
| _mug | linux__: mailservers arent that trivial. there are VERY much options. read on the topic and youll realize. postfix is a good choice, but you want to read the ducomentation | 20:57 |
| FrostRat | Xintruder: If you were to download it and compile it yourself, just as you did with the driver. But that might be a bit difficult/confusing if you're not used to that kind of thing... and as I said, I've never been into compiz, so I'm not sure what it would take. | 20:57 |

| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: most of your question on downloading apps or how to use them can be answered by googling on google | 21:07 |
| _mug | ThipThip: what does it say? | 21:07 |
| evil_tech | do you have a valid DNS? | 21:07 |

| marcin | hi | 21:07 |
| ThipThip | (Note: I am on the same computer with an XP64 installation, so I would have to reboot to try any suggestions, so pile them on and I'll try them all :-) ). | 21:07 |

| le | Need to play streaming video. What should I install? | 21:08 |
| leviatan | how can i install kde 4 in feisty, someone knows? | 21:08 |

| Darkmystere | Pirate_Hunter: Ok Well ill get into somthing more Technical How Do i get sound working on Ubuntu 7.10 Installed with Wubi 7.10 apha Minfiel 386? | 21:08 |

| marcin | bye | 21:08 |
| ThipThip | Jowi: Why would I be able to connect with the same setup with windows if it was a nameserver issue? | 21:08 |
| mohit | Ok guy i have installed 7.10 but I can not access the net. I connect thru ADSL service and I guess it is the error which was recognized soon after the release of 7.10 with regard to ADSL stuff | 21:08 |

| ThipThip | evil_tech: I don't know about iptables - I'm new to Ubuntu. Please enlighten. :-) | 21:09 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Darkmystere: have no clue since i dont use wubi but you could try searching for it or typing !sound and looking at the links... you cna find it out online... im not searching for ppl any more | 21:09 |
| dduong | drgonzo0000: eth0 (or eth1), and your wireless one | 21:09 |

| mne | dmlb2000: i want to mount one of my numerous LUKS disks. cryptsetup doesn't work any more with gutsy. | 21:25 |
| dmlb2000 | mne: I noticed that if you have the right partitioning on your hard disk and you put in the ubuntu live cd it will automagically pick up the swap and do a swapon of that partition, so you might try swapoff <swap-partition> | 21:25 |
| annonymouse | hey all have a question, im using gnome, on my bottom pannel i used to have like when i close pidgin and ktorrent the icons would sit in the panel at the bottom of my screen, however this seems to have dissapeared any idea how to get it back? | 21:25 |

| dmlb2000 | mne: Oh, you are going through an upgrade, okay, I installed fresh... :\ | 21:26 |
| dmlb2000 | mne: have you tried the live cd and tried opening your luks partitions? | 21:26 |

| Pirate_Hunter | im out see yah ppl will go afk | 21:28 |
| mne | dmlb2000: no. could it be that the cryptsetup version is too old for the libdevmapper version ? this would explain the ioctl error | 21:28 |
| gribouille | can someone tell me which package contains wavrec ? | 21:28 |
| mne | dmlb2000: on one of my debian systems the versions are the samt, but the cryptsetup version is newer. is there a ubuntu unstable resository with newer versions ? | 21:28 |
| dmlb2000 | mne: usually when ever I've seen that ioctl error its been that the device was already in use my something... | 21:29 |
| neeto | is there an easy way to change the sysytem applications menu? | 21:29 |

| stupid_ | neeto: still not there | 21:30 |
| dmlb2000 | stupid_: what kind of wireless card? | 21:31 |

| dmlb2000 | javaJake: I'd mount the cd then look in the isolinux/isolinux.cfg file and see if you recognize it there | 21:40 |
| ali1234 | javaJake: i think it's something like "ubiquity-only" | 21:40 |
| javaJake | Yea! | 21:40 |
| javaJake | That was it! | 21:40 |

| TheEagle | i tried the following command .... sudo link /var/www /home/andrew/Documents/www | 21:43 |

| Konam | hi, I have a 'problem' with my wireless router, when network-manager connects to the internet it takes the wireless router ip (192.168.1.1) and put it as a DNS server address in the DNS tab. I still have my other two opendns servers below and I get to connect but it is slowly, I have to erase that ip from the DNS list always I login, this doesn't happen on windows but I don't know which setting is causing this :/ | 21:44 |
| ali1234 | TheEagle: you probably want to use ln | 21:44 |
| javaJake | TheEagle, yea, you want ln not link. :) | 21:44 |
| TheEagle | now i get his | 21:44 |
| TheEagle | *this | 21:44 |
| javaJake | Replace link with ln | 21:44 |
| TheEagle | ln: `/var/www': hard link not allowed for directory | 21:45 |
| ali1234 | TheEagle: 'ln -s /var/www /home/andrew/Documents/www' | 21:45 |
| stupid_ | how do i know if a certain driver is already installed on my computer? | 21:45 |
| _mug | TheEagle: ln -s | 21:45 |
| TheEagle | thanks! | 21:45 |
| ali1234 | TheEagle: also, you probably dont have write access to that directory as a normal user | 21:45 |
| _mug | TheEagle: means softlink | 21:45 |
| TheEagle | _mug: what's a soft link? | 21:45 |

| _mug | TheEagle: if some process tries to look into a softlink, it is pointed to a "database", where the real ressource is located. a hardlink .. i really dont know how to explain it.. is a 2nd name for one resource | 21:47 |
| _mug | i hope u understand | 21:47 |
| Jowi | Konam, you set up default dhcp setting in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf (DNS, IP etc), so if needed you can tailor it to your exact needs. | 21:47 |

| Dragon67 | is there any where else i have to change the int name ? | 21:48 |
| JRU909 | p2 processor, 176 ram, how much swap should I set up? I'm using the alternate text only install cd. | 21:49 |
| Jowi | JRU909, anything from 176-500MB depending on your software needs. | 21:49 |

| Jowi | Konam, /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf contain information on what to get from the dhcp server (your wifi router in this case). you can set your own name-servers instead of using the ones your router gives you. make a copy of the dhclient.conf file, then modify it to your needs (remove domain-name-servers request for example. read "man dhclient.conf" for a quite extensive list of options or just have a look at the file in question) | 21:52 |
| activedaemon | what do u mean by sync | 21:52 |
| activedaemon | ? | 21:52 |
| _mug | JRU909: just a guess.. 500 seems ok. but modern websites suck on slow machines (flash, overkill-javascript etc) | 21:52 |
| Professor_K | can somebody help me plz? I can't "reactivate" the Alt+Space shortcut. First it was assigned to [the equivalent of alt in Windows] then I reassigned it to the run dialog and then to gnome-lauch-box (which I uninstalled because it never worked) and now I can't assigne it again to the run dialog (or to anything else)... | 21:52 |
| JRU909 | What's the most I can really get away with? | 21:53 |
| kane77 | activedaemon, well to sync particular folders | 21:53 |
| Jowi | Konam, I guess gnome has an app to set that up, but I don't have gnome installed atm. | 21:53 |
| DrakeJustice_ | JRU909: for those things 4gigs will be plenty, use a cdrom partitioner though, they are faster... partition commander is a good one... google it | 21:53 |
| Rimfrost | can some one help me with to unpack gzip files, the archivemanager said that file is unsupported | 21:53 |
| Jowi | JRU909, on a machine like that I would recommend abi-word and gnumeric in replacement for openoffice.org. you need light apps on a P2 | 21:54 |
| activedaemon | well u can easilly share by just going to a folder's proprieties and set it to shared | 21:54 |
| activedaemon | install samba | 21:54 |
| Professor_K | Rimfrost: did you try 7zip? | 21:54 |
| activedaemon | if u wish windows share support | 21:54 |
| JRU909 | DrakeJustice_: Ok, but someone else told me that having too much swap is bad | 21:54 |
| _mug | na | 21:54 |
| erUSUL | Rimfrost: gunzip file.gz | 21:54 |
| activedaemon | swap is near useless these days | 21:54 |
| activedaemon | keep a lil gigabyte | 21:55 |
| activedaemon | that will be ok | 21:55 |
| Rimfrost | i installed it from add/remove software but i did get 7Zip to run... | 21:55 |
| DrakeJustice_ | JRU909: huh? 150mb swap is more than i need, i run compiz, compile kde, and use swiftfox with 9 flash pages at once... | 21:55 |
| activedaemon | as i said | 21:55 |
| lego | i got a 10sec audio delay in firefox when playing flash videos anyone got an idea of how to solve it ? | 21:55 |
| activedaemon | its near needless these days | 21:55 |
| DrakeJustice_ | JRU909: were you talking about harddrive space or swap??? | 21:55 |

So, I decided to do a fresh install. However, after rebooting when the install finished the ubuntu progress screen shows up and then it turns black. Help? | 21:56 |
| JRU909 | I was talking ab swap | 21:56 |
| DrakeJustice_ | JRU909: 4gb is enough for hd space for those things, 200mb swap will be good to you... | 21:56 |
| activedaemon | flash or realplayer mbe? | 21:56 |
| JRU909 | Ok | 21:56 |

| activedaemon | the best there is | 22:10 |
| Jowi | brndn, there is no rollback function like that available as far as I know. see !clone to make a copy of current installed packages to a new system. That's as far as I know it's doable to start "from scratch" but keep the package selection intact... | 22:10 |

| Stormx2 | Rather. | 22:28 |
| profx | !flash | 22:28 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 22:28 |
| ikonia | Asche_83m: to go from 32bit to 64 bit your suggesting not doing a re-install | 22:28 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 22:28 |
| syntaxerror55 | ikonia, compile a program. I get the error: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 22:28 |
| ikonia | syntaxerror55: what program ? | 22:29 |
| javaJake | syntaxerror55, find the package and click on it, then click " Installed Files" or something like that | 22:29 |
| FactTech | ikonia Yeah, one of the steps is to choose accounts on the existing install to add to the new one... will that work in a 32-bit to 64-bit move? | 22:29 |
| toresn_ | how can i check what ports are open? | 22:29 |
| loufoque | Stormx2: I want to move to 64 bits because the 32-bits kernel can't use all of my RAM | 22:29 |
| reeeh2000 | stormx: i dont believe so, this is the kde4 icons package from ppa luanchpad | 22:29 |
| ikonia | FactTech: no - as it will wipe his hard disk so thre will be nothing to "convert" | 22:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | ikonia, filelight (on dapper, it isn't the latest version) | 22:29 |
| activedaemon | ppl: just install flashplugin non free | 22:29 |
| activedaemon | that will solve the problem | 22:29 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: that package is broke | 22:29 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: it won't fix anything | 22:29 |
| Stormx2 | loufoque: Back up /home and reinstall. You won't lose any settings, documents, etc. | 22:29 |
| activedaemon | I currently use it... | 22:30 |
| loufoque | I guess I could try that | 22:30 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: you installed before it was broke | 22:30 |
| FactTech | ikonia Does he have to wipe the disk? Can't he just point the install at the existing partition? | 22:30 |
| carlos | solo me deja meterme en ubuntu server | 22:30 |
| activedaemon | probably | 22:30 |
| ikonia | FactTech: yes, and it will put a new file system on at install | 22:30 |
| activedaemon | try adding external repos | 22:30 |

| ikonia | what | 22:30 |
| activedaemon | sorry ikonia not 4 u | 22:31 |
| antjose | Carlos que programa estas usando? | 22:31 |
| FactTech | ikonia: Right, but I thought the install program would recognize when there's an existing installation of linux and offer to port over existing accounts. | 22:31 |

| mne | why are normal (non-lvm) block devices in /dev/mapper ??? This happened after i upgraded to gutsy. | 22:32 |
| ikonia | FactTech: your going to put a new file system on - your not porting like windows to ubuntu - it's ubuntu to ubuntu | 22:32 |
| LjL | carlos: pues cual es el problema? | 22:32 |
| reeeh2000 | stormx: im updating to kde4, all the other packages aside from kdeartwork-theme-icon-kde4 installed just fine | 22:32 |
| Stormx2 | Well that's a problem with their repo | 22:32 |
| Stormx2 | It's not ubuntu-specific | 22:32 |
| Stormx2 | Go whine at the KDE people | 22:32 |
| FactTech | ikonia I guess what I'm asking is: He can retain his existing user accounts if he converts to 64-bit? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | FactTech: you can't "convert" | 22:33 |
| Stormx2 | you'd think that in the time they took to get KDE4 out they would have at least got decent packages for it. | 22:33 |
| activedaemon | ree: i installed it yest morn, worked | 22:33 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: it's not out | 22:33 |
| activedaemon | factTech: sure he can | 22:33 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia, yes, it is. | 22:33 |
| reeeh2000 | stormx: what is the irc for kde? | 22:33 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: correct, sorry | 22:33 |
| Stormx2 | reeeh2000: Google it. | 22:33 |
| activedaemon | Storm: thats just not mature to say | 22:33 |
| syntaxerror55 | !info konversation > reeeh2000 | 22:34 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: we can't support non-ubuntu repo's | 22:34 |
| Stormx2 | activedaemon, My username is Stormx2, and I really don't care. | 22:34 |
| Stormx2 | Also my nickname, bleh. | 22:34 |
| FactTech | ikonia The right word is "migrate", I guess. As seen in this screenshot http://files.fosswire.com/wpu/2007/04/ubuntufeistyinstallpicture-6.png | 22:34 |
| syntaxerror55 | javaJake, I can't find it in Synaptic. | 22:34 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: why not? | 22:34 |
| ikonia | FactTech: you can't migrate | 22:34 |
| FactTech | ikonia: Because he's going from 32 to 64, it's not allowed? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: because this is ubuntu support - we support ubuntu products/software, not 3rd party software, 3rd parties can support their own software | 22:35 |

| Stormx2 | FactTech: The ubuntu installer can migrate from windows, but not from other linux distros. I suppose there just isn't the demand for it. | 22:35 |
| ikonia | FactTech: swapping from 32bit to 64bit without re-install is not advisable | 22:35 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: sorry i think if ppl use ubuntu and need help... i think we should | 22:35 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: not in this channel, | 22:36 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: ur probably right | 22:36 |
| FactTech | Stormx2: You mean that migration screen is looking for Windows user accounts? | 22:36 |
| ikonia | FactTech: yes | 22:36 |
| Stormx2 | FactTech, unless other distro support has been added, correct. | 22:36 |
| ikonia | FactTech: that migration is for a dual boot system only between windows and ubuntu | 22:36 |
| activedaemon | factTech: that supposed migration tool... isnt quite there yet | 22:36 |
| ikonia | FactTech: note dual boot - not replacment | 22:36 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: it exists ? | 22:37 |
| FactTech | ikonia, Stormx2, activedaemon: Thanks all for the feedback. | 22:37 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia: No, it can import whether you're replacing windows or installing ubuntu side-by-side | 22:37 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: no | 22:37 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: are you %100? | 22:37 |
| ikonia | activedaemon: so "it does exist", not "not quite there" | 22:37 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: just basic stuff... email blah blah | 22:37 |
| ikonia | doesn't | 22:37 |
| gaurav_ | does ubuntu server take more than 10 minutes to run local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) upon first boot? | 22:37 |
| Stormx2 | ikonia, why wouldn't it? Any disk partitioning is done after the wizard is finished. | 22:37 |
| Xintruder | anyone here installed ubuntu on dreambox? | 22:38 |
| Stormx2 | I gotta shower, brb | 22:38 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: thats why I said supposed | 22:38 |
| ikonia | Stormx2: yes, I appriciate that, but I thought the purpose of it was to be used post ubuntu file system write - eg: windows data gone | 22:38 |
| newbie_ | hello, I'm having problems while attaching a sata hdd to my computer. I need to recover all of the information from that disk, but the pc does not recognize it. Is there any problem if I connect the hdd to the power supply, and access ubuntu, and then I plug the data cable? | 22:38 |
| activedaemon | ikonia: ppl just name it migration | 22:38 |
| FactTech | Question: Out of curiosity, does anyone know when win32codecs was removed from the official repositories? | 22:38 |
| nickrud | gaurav_: no, if you hit enter you should see a login. | 22:39 |
| Nostahl | why does my sound stop working every other log in to ubuntu it seems | 22:39 |
| apathy | My sound is not working now either! | 22:39 |
| activedaemon | factTech its now named w32codec | 22:39 |
| reeeh2000 | I got sent back here | 22:39 |
| FactTech | activedaemon: Right, but it's not in official repositories. Was it ever? | 22:39 |
| activedaemon | course not | 22:39 |
| ompaul | FactTech, no | 22:40 |
| activedaemon | I've been using other repos 4 so long i cant imagin whats on them no more | 22:40 |
| VvWolverinevV | hello | 22:40 |
| activedaemon | HI! | 22:40 |
| LinChapulin | I have to install ati drivers for my radeon HD 2600...it comes in a install package from AMD that is only for the 2000 series cards...I tried issuing sudo ./<filename> but it doesn't recognize the command? | 22:40 |
| marko-_- | i have a quesiont... what could be wrong... today my X restarted twice... and today i found the map i have on the desktop named 'Music' in trash... any ideas?:s | 22:41 |
| VvWolverinevV | i have a question about 64-bit linux | 22:41 |
| JRU901 | How would disabling IPv6 affect my ubuntu system? | 22:41 |
| activedaemon | LinChaupulin: try editing the file's proprieties | 22:41 |
| gaurav_ | haha nickrud, thanks... i didn't want to touch it just incase! | 22:41 |
| Venom_2250 | #HackThisSite | 22:41 |
| Venom_2250 | woops | 22:41 |
| activedaemon | LinChaupulin: and change it to executable | 22:41 |
| FactTech | activedaemon: I just can't figure it out. I had a video file that was working fine, then stopped after I replaced the sound card and was mucking about with packages. Everywhere I look says that particular codec is restricted, but I don't think I had ever installed anything from the "outside" repositories. | 22:41 |
| VvWolverinevV | is anyone running 64-bit ubuntu? | 22:41 |
| LjL | !anyone | 22:41 |
| 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? | 22:41 |
| nickrud | LinChapulin: you should try http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide if possible, it allows you to upgrade/remove more easily | 22:41 |
| apathy | I'm running 64 | 22:42 |
| ikonia | VvWolverinevV: many people, if you ask a question people will respnd | 22:42 |
| FactTech | activedaemon: Maybe I did and just don't remember, but it's strange. This machine started out Xubuntu 6.10, so I thought maybe it had once been in there and is since removed. | 22:42 |
| LinChapulin | activedaemon: Yeah but it still needs to execute with root priveliges no? | 22:42 |
| FactTech | activedaemon: No big loss, just lingering curiosity about why it stopped working. | 22:42 |
| activedaemon | yes | 22:42 |
| LinChapulin | nickrud: This is a special case where the standard install for restricted ATI drivers won't work | 22:42 |
| VvWolverinevV | apathy, what are the hardware requirements? do i just need a CPU with EM64T tech, or are there northbridge, etc requirements as well? | 22:43 |
| activedaemon | LinChaupulin: what msg u get? | 22:43 |
| nickrud | LinChapulin: wasn't sure, that's way I said if possible :) | 22:43 |
| JRU901 | How does disabling IPv6 affect my system? I'm trying to speed it up, but I don't want to cripple it too badly. | 22:43 |
| LinChapulin | activedaemon: That was my question about the format of the sudo command to get it to prompt for my password? | 22:43 |
| apathy | I don't know, I thought it worked with any 64 bit chip | 22:43 |
| ikonia | VvWolverinevV: emt64 will do you | 22:43 |
| arooni | hey folks, i have a sound blaster live card, gutsy, and a 5.1 speaker system.... right now i can only hear audio out of the rear two speakers.... it looks like my volume is muted from control panel..... when i unmute it (master volume) i hear a loud screeching noise....... (this did work previously at one point).... ideas? | 22:43 |
| ijn | hi all | 22:43 |
| ikonia | VvWolverinevV: basiclly an x86_64 arch | 22:43 |
| zimon | VvWolverinevV, only the cpu is relevant. of course you need a chipset that supports the 64 bit cou | 22:43 |
| FactTech | VvWolverinevV: I think most hardware will work fine. It can use 32-bit drivers if needed. | 22:43 |
| zimon | *cpu | 22:44 |
| activedaemon | LinChaupulin: i dont get ur question | 22:44 |
| ikonia | FactTech: no it can't | 22:44 |
| FactTech | ikonia: No? | 22:44 |
| Nostahl | what would cause my sound to not work sometimes and other times it does | 22:44 |
| ikonia | VvWolverinevV: FYI 32bit drivers cannot be used on a 64bit system | 22:44 |
| ikonia | FactTech: no | 22:44 |
| stupid__ | ho | 22:44 |
| stupid__ | hi | 22:44 |
| ijn | is it possible to run mac leopard under ubuntu 7.10 with some app like qemu or other????? | 22:44 |
| LinChapulin | activedaemon: When I issue sudo ./ati-<blah> it doesn't prompt for my sudo password | 22:44 |
| FactTech | VvWolverinevV: I stand corrected. But I had no issues installing it on a laptop with an AMD64 processor. | 22:44 |
| stupid__ | how can I install kernel sources with apt-get? | 22:44 |
| evil_tech | ubuntu wont let me connect to the drive i have shared in samba. any idea why? | 22:44 |
| Thoth | anyone heard of HURD? | 22:45 |
| ikonia | stupid__: why do you want them | 22:45 |
| ikonia | Thoth: yes, many times | 22:45 |
| activedaemon | ijn: no | 22:45 |
| LinChapulin | evil_tech: Did you create a password with smbpasswd? | 22:45 |
| stupid__ | ikonia: i need it to install something | 22:45 |
| evil_tech | no | 22:45 |
| Thoth | is it still under development? | 22:45 |
| ikonia | stupid__: what | 22:45 |
| L0cky | hi, I'm trying to start/install 7.10 but I keep getting 'Buffer I/O error on device hdb. logical block n' at random times. the cd integrity check passes. I have amd64 with noapic. any idea what the problem is? | 22:45 |
| stupid__ | ikonia: nevermind what i really need it | 22:45 |
| ikonia | Thoth: join #hurd and ask, hurd is nothing to do with ubuntu | 22:45 |
| LinChapulin | evil_tech: try that and see if you can connect | 22:45 |
| VvWolverinevV | hmm, would anyone mind looking at what i just ordered? https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=6682252&WishListTitle=Tag%27s+New+PC | 22:45 |
| activedaemon | LinChaupulin: have u created your superuser yet? | 22:45 |
| ijn | so how can I run mac leopard under ubuntu???? | 22:45 |
| Thoth | k | 22:45 |
| nickrud | LinChapulin: sudo will remember that you've used your sudo password for around 15 minutes (or is it 5?) | 22:45 |
| ikonia | stupid__: please inform us what you are trying to build | 22:45 |
| Nostahl | why does my sound work some times and not other times | 22:45 |
| stupid__ | a new kernel | 22:45 |
| ikonia | stupid__: then you don't need the kernel source you need the kernel source for the kernel you want to build | 22:46 |
| LinChapulin | nickrud: Right o..thanks | 22:46 |
| evil_tech | that worked thanks | 22:46 |
| stupid__ | it is the one i'm working on | 22:46 |

| VvWolverinevV | ikonia: will the intel x38 chipset work? | 22:47 |
| zimon | VvWolverinevV, maybe you'll get some issues with the board, cause the chipset is quite new and ubuntu doesn't come with the latest kernel | 22:47 |
| stupid__ | ikonia: i don't work on it yet | 22:47 |
| ikonia | VvWolverinevV: I'm not aware of that chipset | 22:47 |

| Whatsinaname | Hello every one, I am new to ubuntu, but not computers. I have a quick question about raid 1. | 23:31 |
| profx | having an issue with flash in FF, I used http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 to do the install, but its still not working, anyone have any ideas to try and fix it ? | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues > profx | 23:31 |
| profx | Jack_Sparrow, and ? | 23:32 |
| efif | hello, i just installed xubuntu-desktop and I put the language switcher on my top panel... the problem is that only "US" shows up when I click on it. i already installed spanish | 23:32 |
| jrib | profx: what did you do exactly to install it? | 23:32 |
| Whatsinaname | I have 2 750 gig drives that I have set up with mdadm, these are for data only, right now they are syncing, (taking forever) but when I am done I try using gparted to make md0 a ext3 partition, but it fails. | 23:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | profx: Flash is broken.. pretty self explanatory | 23:32 |

| pradeep | jrib: Does foobar mean my program file name? If the program is prog1 what should be the syntax to compile and run the program? | 23:32 |
| ikonia | Whatsinaname: gparted will not see meta devices (I recall a bug report on that) | 23:32 |
| profx | I did the 'new fix' section jrib | 23:33 |
| abarakadab | i had windows + kubuntu. grub gave the option of windows xp at boot. but whn i reinstalled winxp the option of linux is gone. the windows start at boot . what can i do ? | 23:33 |
| arno-t | hi all Is the MTU (maximum transfer unit) very critical to transfer speeds? I have to lower the MTU to below 1300 to make rsync work with a specific network card. | 23:33 |
| jrib | pradeep: if your source code is in the file prog1.cc and you want the executable to be called "prog1", then you do: g++ -o prog1 prog1.cc | 23:33 |
| ikonia | !grub > abarakadab | 23:33 |
| matth | is an upgrade from feisty to gutsy easy? | 23:33 |
| ikonia | pradeep: man g++ for compiler options | 23:33 |
| Whatsinaname | oh, ikonia I wish I could find a good command line how to for it. | 23:33 |
| matth | I might only be able to install feisty tonight | 23:34 |
| ikonia | Whatsinaname: mkefs -j /dev/md0 | 23:34 |
| jrib | profx: why not just use the attached .deb files? | 23:34 |
| johnficca | hi what is the command for openssh to connect to a computer remotely? | 23:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | matth: Yes, but it takes awhile | 23:34 |
| maddog39 | :/ what going on, i just installed the flash plugin (proprietary) and firefox still prompts to install flash | 23:34 |
| ajitam | hi when I try to copy a file to my fat32 disk I get File size limit exceeded (core dumped). Anybody ? | 23:34 |
| ikonia | !flashissue > maddog39 | 23:34 |
| pradeep | jrib: Thankyou. | 23:34 |
| NCommander | ajitam: How big is the file? | 23:34 |
| profx | jrib did u get it to work (yourself) that way ? | 23:34 |
| matth | that's ok, I'm installing over network and debbootstrap doesn't like gutsy | 23:34 |
| Whatsinaname | mkefs -j /dev/md0 ikonia, if i want ext3 how do I do that? | 23:34 |
| ThipThip | hey everybody | 23:34 |

| TheDarkKiller | Nope, I'm afriad. | 23:35 |
| dn4ia | how do I see how much data is in one folder? | 23:35 |
| ajitam | NCommander: ikonia it's stops at 2Gb | 23:35 |
| jrib | profx: no, I just download the tar.gz from adobe and copy the .so to my ~/.mozilla/plugins/ | 23:35 |
| ThipThip | ikonia: I have executed the commands you instructed | 23:35 |
| ThipThip | How do I paste the output into a "pastebin"? | 23:35 |
| ikonia | ajitam: should be 3 gig | 23:35 |
| ikonia | ajitam: 4 gb sorry | 23:35 |
| jrib | dn4ia: du -sh /path/to/folder | 23:35 |
| NCommander | ajitam: I thought FAT32 has a 4GB filesize limit | 23:35 |
| ikonia | !pastebin | ThipThip | 23:35 |

| NCommander | ajitam: I remember when I used Windows I had to use NTFS when I used larger files | 23:35 |
| Whatsinaname | Ikonia, thanks, I will try that in an hour after sync :) I am assuming I have to wait for the drives to sync even when they are empy lol | 23:36 |
| matth | would mkfs be faster then rm -rf for a ext3? | 23:36 |
| matth | :) | 23:36 |
| TheDarkKiller | I'll show you my menu.lst | 23:36 |
| Onyx | it's been a long ass time since i compiled a kernel... if i do make oldconfig, that will give me all the stuff that's in my current kernel, right? | 23:36 |
| TheDarkKiller | (pasting now) | 23:36 |
| sp0ro | Is there anyway to take certain programs off the automatic update list? ie; compiz(I don't use it and have no plans to) | 23:36 |
| NCommander | Onyx: You need the old .config file | 23:36 |
| ajitam | NCommander: ok so witch filesystem has the biggest filesize limit and can be read/write with ubuntu and osX | 23:36 |
| Onyx | NCommander: Uhhh... okay. | 23:36 |
| jrib | sp0ro: why not just remove them then? | 23:36 |
| ajitam | NCommander: if you know | 23:37 |
| pradeep | How do I start learning LINUX? My research will be mainly on writing C++/g++ programs on LINUX? | 23:37 |
| NCommander | ajitam: HFS+, ext2 if your willing to install a kernel module for Mac OS X | 23:37 |
| sp0ro | jrib: If I remove them after installing, they come back up on the automatic update. | 23:37 |
| Onyx | NCommander: I know that.... what I'm asking is if that will pass all the options from the current kernel to the new kernel. | 23:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | profx: Sorry for being vague.. That link used to be very self explanatory and easy.. now it is a mess.... | 23:37 |
| profx | libflashplayer.so <-- that file in the .tar.gz ? | 23:37 |
| matth | pradeep, what do you want to do? | 23:37 |
| TheDarkKiller | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51727/ | 23:37 |
| NCommander | ajitam: Maybe UFS, but I'm not sure Linux has read/write support for the version used in Mac OS X | 23:37 |
| jrib | pradeep: ask ##c++ for some good tutorials | 23:37 |
| matth | coding c++ on linux is not hard | 23:37 |
| ThipThip | ikonia: I have pasted them. | 23:37 |
| johnficca | is it like ssh <hostname> | 23:37 |
| jrib | sp0ro: they shouldn't | 23:37 |
| profx | jrib, libflashplayer.so <-- that file in the .tar.gz ? | 23:37 |
| NCommander | Onyx: Oh, yes :-), it just won't magicially read it from th current kernel | 23:37 |
| jrib | profx: yes | 23:37 |
| sp0ro | jrib: Hm, no idea why they did then. :/ | 23:37 |
| profx | and thats it ? | 23:37 |
| elianosft | Alguien que hable español | 23:38 |

| elianosft | ok tanks | 23:38 |
| truna_ | i forget, in grub menu.lst default 0 meant it will take the first entry that has a first root (hdx,x) ? i have so many version of root I forget how grub selects the default | 23:38 |
| jrib | !pinning > sp0ro (read the private message from ubotu) | 23:38 |
| Whatsinaname | Thanks again ikonia, Ill check back later, hopefully after I get the raid set up Ill use Samba and have a nice file server. take care | 23:38 |

| elianosft | #ubuntu-es | 23:38 |
| jrib | sp0ro: that is how to do what you asked, but I insist that the correct action in this situation is to remove the package | 23:38 |
| jetscreamer | yes 0 is first, saved is the last one with savedefault | 23:39 |
| profx | jrib, i dont see a plugins dir, in .mozilla | 23:39 |
