| cabrioleur | inversekinetix, my nicotine level consumption is growing fast. | 00:00 |
| cabrioleur | inversekinetix, check your firewall setup. | 00:00 |
| telee | should i run firefox w/ flash as 64 bit or 32? which one is better | 00:00 |
| telee | i guess 32 may be better for more mods right? | 00:00 |
| DrMitch | so i got my remote set up in lirc, but 90% of the time, I have to press a button on the remote twice for it to do the command. anyone know why this is? | 00:00 |

| Hamelin | Hello | 00:01 |
| thepeoplesmark | once again. my ipod has all of my music on it, i can see it when it connects. however on the ipod itself it says that there is no music. i updated gpod to 5.3... do i just need a more recent version? the ipod i'm using is an 80gb black classic | 00:01 |
| inversekinetix | cabrioleur: its all set up correctly, on the windows python client I upload at 1.7MB/s but under ubuntus client it uploads at 40k to the same user | 00:01 |
| thepeoplesmark | i've searched all over and i can't figure it out | 00:01 |
| tekoadoomed57 | How can I mount audio CDs from the command line so I can rip them using oggenc? | 00:01 |
| Hamelin | I've got a question, if someone could help me out | 00:02 |
| DrMitch | then ask the damn question Hamelin | 00:02 |
| cabrioleur | tekoadoomed57, you don't mount them. oggenc is an encoder. First, you have to rip cd to wav, then encode to ogg/vorbis. | 00:02 |
| thepeoplesmark | please. some one? | 00:03 |
| Hamelin | Ok, well, I'm trying to use the gnome screensaver program to run an image slideshow, I've got it set up, but it scales all the images to fullscreen, which makes many of them look fairly crappy, is there any way I can stop it from resizing the images? | 00:03 |
| inversekinetix | anyone have any ideas why my windows drive would suddenly stop appearing in ubuntu's file browser | 00:03 |
| tekoadoomed57 | cabrioleur - How is that done from the command line? | 00:04 |
| Lokii- | ok so can i install gtk+ 2.0 from the repos i can't seem to find the package name | 00:04 |
| bkar | Hamelin i dont know how to resize them, but if your images are svg, they scale well | 00:04 |
| Lokii- | anyone know | 00:04 |
| Hamelin | what's svg? | 00:04 |
| cortarz | how can i install Flash player on x86 64 bit arch? | 00:04 |
| bkar | Scalable Vector Graphics | 00:05 |
| Hamelin | No, they're just pngs and jpgs | 00:05 |
| Hamelin | the problem is I don't want them to scale, I want the original size to be displayed | 00:05 |
| Hamelin | like how the windows image slideshow screensaver does it | 00:05 |
| robobob | it says it cant find it in fstab or mtab | 00:05 |

| Mariko | Hello, I want to install ubuntu over my copy of Vista, and have done so before. However, the CD drive on my laptop is refusing to boot from ANY cd I put into it. If it helps at all, the light on my CD drive is constantly on. | 00:06 |
| cabrioleur | tekoadoomed57, in many ways. For instance, cdparanoia -B | 00:06 |
| tekoadoomed57 | Excellant - thank you. This is my second exposure to linux and I had forgotton about that. I sincerely appreciate the help. Have a great Sunday!! | 00:07 |
| cabrioleur | Mariko, what about usb? | 00:08 |
| Mariko | Haven't tried yet? | 00:08 |
| ConstyXIV | how do you change the name of a USB stick or SD card? | 00:08 |
| Lokii- | ok so can i install gtk+ 2.0 from the repos i can't seem to find the package name anyone know ? i am having nothing but problems trying to install from source | 00:08 |
| Mariko | As in, a flash drive? | 00:08 |

| ConstyXIV | yeah | 00:08 |
| lemontea | h4wk`laptop what is swap? | 00:08 |
| cabrioleur | Mariko, whatever you bios can support. | 00:08 |
| cabrioleur | Mariko, and make sure the cd order in bios is correct. | 00:08 |
| Mariko | Mmm. I don't have a flash drive big enough for ubuntu, and I also don't have a USB HDD. | 00:09 |
| Mariko | cabrioleur: it is. | 00:09 |
| Pelch | Is there a way to easily repair Ubuntu back to default? | 00:09 |
| Lokii- | fn'ConstyXIV, fdisk should allow you to label the "drive" | 00:09 |
| cabrioleur | Mariko, if you are a hussler, mount your hd in a different machine and install there, then put it back. | 00:09 |

| nownot | how do i uninstall apache2 and all of its files? | 00:10 |
| erawfish | nownot: uninstall apache2.2-common | 00:10 |
| cabrioleur | Mariko, another option is to contact your vendor, cdrom producer and such to question them for solutions. Sometimes cleaning cdrom helps too. | 00:11 |
| nownot | -bash: uninstall: command not found | 00:11 |
| Mariko | I've tried 4 ubuntu cds and an XP CD, and I was able to get my laptop to boot to ubuntu once before. | 00:11 |

| Lokii- | WILL SOMEONE HELP ME WITH MINE ? | 00:13 |
| Lokii- | damnit | 00:13 |

| GildeRHacK | grazie ubotu | 00:18 |
| erawfish | stormze1: sure there is, you need to compile it yourself | 00:18 |
| Pelo | erawfish, I didn't break anything, I've never had such a stable system as I have with ubuntu | 00:18 |
| Pelo | anyway, later folks, | 00:18 |
| Lokii- | erawfish my windows i never used to have to press alt and click drag them... and i could click an x on the corner to close them | 00:18 |

| erawfish | Pelo: pelch has a very similar nick to you | 00:18 |
| stormze1 | erawfish: I can't add a 'testing' repo, or anything like that? | 00:18 |
| Pelch | Haha. Sorry. :) | 00:19 |

| Hamelin | Does anyone have an answer for me? If these nvidia drivers blank my screen after I reboot, how do I go about uninstalling them so my monitor works again? If I can't see anything on the screen I can't very well type out and fix it | 00:21 |

| cabrioleur | Whatsinaname, and I cannot tell you right now. I don't use ubuntu. Go to /etc/rc5.d/ and chmod -x on it. Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to disable usplash. | 00:22 |
| Whatsinaname | ok, thanks | 00:23 |

| water | how i install widget in compizconfig?? when i press f9 i don't see anything buy black transparent screen.... | 00:30 |
| Flannel | nownot: you need to do it on all the apache2 packages. The main conf files are in apache2-common, for instance. And then php and stuff are in their respective packages | 00:30 |
| nownot | though you told me to do that and not the other | 00:31 |
| mvh | this will do. thanks erawfish | 00:31 |
| erawfish | nownot: I told you not to rm but to purge | 00:31 |

| nickrud | !alternate | andrew__ ( releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 ) | 01:20 |
| ubotu | andrew__ ( releases.ubuntu.com/7.10 ): The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 01:20 |
| Yv12345vY | Hammy, what's your issue? | 01:20 |
| TheOnly1MadHatte | maybeway36 does it play all video formats | 01:20 |
| andrew__ | ill stick to the live CD, im a little new to ubuntu | 01:20 |
| Ex-Cyber | what is the supported method for doing alignment after installing new cartridges on an HP inkjet? | 01:21 |
| nickrud | andrew__: ok, just remember about the alternate if you have problems | 01:21 |

| andrew__ | alright, thanks, later | 01:21 |
| Hammy | the gnome screensaver image slideshow scales my images to the full size of the screen instead of displaying them at their regular size | 01:21 |
| a_cuozzo | Does anyone else here use bitchx? | 01:21 |
| Yv12345vY | Hammy, hmm, I have no idea, sorry | 01:21 |
| Hammy | I would like it not to do that | 01:21 |
| Hammy | are there any other screensaver programs I could try perhaps? | 01:21 |
| Hammy | I messed with xscreensaver but it seemed buggy and I didn't get any output at all | 01:22 |
| Yv12345vY | I only know of xscreensaver | 01:22 |
| mathieu__ | so no one can help me with my pcmcia bug? | 01:22 |
| rich__ | how do i undo a folder move in nautilus | 01:22 |
| recon69 | is it possible to reconfigure libc6 with configuration option --enable-add-ons=nptl in ubuntu 6.06, is it a safe thing to do. and if so how do i do it? | 01:23 |
| rich__ | or check the history of what i have moved>?# | 01:23 |
| nickrud | rich__: there is no history, or undo . you can find the folder's new location with sudo updatedb && locate <foldername> (updatedb takes a little time) | 01:23 |
| Hammy | the version of xscreensaver on synaptic is like three versions old too | 01:24 |
| recon69 | and also if "getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION" gives "NPTL 2.3.6" , should libc6 not be using it already? | 01:24 |
| nickrud | Hammy: sadly, gnome-screensaver is brain dead, and xscreensaver doesn't work well with ubuntu's gnome. | 01:24 |
| Hammy | nothing I can do then? | 01:25 |
| rich__ | but what if i dont know what was moved as i used the mouse and it messed up | 01:25 |
| iN00DLE | what exactly do you want to achieve, Hammy ? Any screensaver or a specific one? | 01:25 |
| Hammy | I find it odd that the windows screensaver thing has more customization than this | 01:25 |
| joelfranco | hi all. plz.. someone knows how to solve the "ipconfig: eth0: SIOCGIFINDEX: No such device" ltsp5 problem? | 01:26 |
| nickrud | Hammy: you can edit /usr/share/applications/personal-slideshow.desktop 's Exec= line, if you can find the parameters for slideshow | 01:26 |
| Hammy | I want an image slideshow that doesn't scale my images, I want a 600x800 px image displayed at 600x800 on the screen, not scaled to fullscreen | 01:26 |
| clearzen | oelfranco: it's ifconfig | 01:26 |
| Hammy | I opened up that file, it was empty | 01:26 |
| Onyx | http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston-2gb-hi-speed-datatraveler-usb-flash-drive/q/loc/101/204737104.html if you haven't used Google Checkout before, this ends up being $0.95 | 01:26 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about avast antivirus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:27 |
| nickrud | Hammy: it's not empty, a copy and paste: /usr/share/applications/screensavers/personal-slideshow.desktop | 01:27 |
| Hammy | I did | 01:28 |
| joelfranco | clearzen, no.. it's really ipconfig | 01:28 |
| Hammy | the file opened and there is nothing in it | 01:28 |
| joelfranco | clearzen, it's ltsp | 01:28 |
| Darkmystere_ | How do i run Regnum Online in Windowed Mode? | 01:28 |
| joelfranco | clearzen, i've never seen ipconfig, but here it's like this | 01:28 |
| iN00DLE | try alt+enter, darkmystere? | 01:28 |
| MungaMan | Can anyone help me with booting from the CD? | 01:28 |
| nickrud | Hammy: if you have gnome-screensaver installed, you have that file (or certainly should) | 01:29 |
| recon69 | MungaMan: should be a case of putting the CD in the drive and booting? you computer's bois is set to boot from the CD | 01:29 |
| Hammy | well, maybe it's somewhere else | 01:29 |
| MungaMan | heres what happens: I set it to boot to the CD, and then I get to the Ubuntu menu | 01:30 |
| MungaMan | but when I do anything besides use help | 01:30 |
| MungaMan | Everything freezes up | 01:30 |
| Hammy | how do I search for it? the search button in nautilus doesn't work, I tried searching for a file I was looking at and it brought up nothing | 01:30 |
| nickrud | Hammy: locate personal-slideshow in a terminal | 01:31 |
| ironfoot_495 | Hi, I have aproblem with apache2, mysql phpmyadmin they all don't work due to trying to incorporate Rails and gems. I would like to start over with these but by using lamp is that possible? | 01:31 |
| recon69 | MungaMan: how much ram you computer got? | 01:31 |
| MungaMan | 2 gigs | 01:32 |
| MungaMan | I believe | 01:32 |
| Flannel | ironfoot_495: starting over is always possible. remove the packages and reinstall. Just be sure removal is done with --purge (or "complete removal in synaptic") to get rid of the configs as well | 01:32 |
| valehru | bkar, ended up running the script as a cronjob by root. Does the trick for me! Looked at cocoon2, neat app. | 01:32 |
| Hammy | aha! that did it | 01:32 |
| Hammy | er, what am I changing in here now? | 01:33 |
| pocketprotector | can anybody resolve ins0.net? | 01:33 |
| rikkimaru | where can i download libvorbisenc.so.2 ? | 01:33 |
| recon69 | MungaMan: 2 gig is plenty, you're sure it locking up and not just being slow? | 01:33 |
| ironfoot_495 | The config files is where I had my most trouble but to get rid of them just find them apache.conf, phpmyadmin.conf and mysql.cnf | 01:34 |
| nickrud | Hammy: there's a line in there, Exec= . it points to the app that gets run when you choose that screensaver, it's called slideshow . If you can find the parameters that slideshow accepts (and if there are any) you can add them there. Th | 01:34 |
| bkar | valehru cool | 01:34 |
| ironfoot_495 | ? | 01:34 |
| nickrud | Hammy: that's what xscreensaver does in it's own way | 01:34 |
| ironfoot_495 | and get rid of them? | 01:34 |
| ironfoot_495 | do I write apt-get remove --purge | 01:34 |
| ironfoot_495 | ? | 01:34 |
| MungaMan | recon69: I chose open Live and let it sit for an hour, and nothing happened | 01:34 |
| rikkimaru | where can i download libvorbisenc.so.2 ? | 01:35 |
| ironfoot_495 | Flannel: is lamp possible | 01:35 |
| mengzihan | who can help me? | 01:35 |
| Flannel | ironfoot_495: apt-get remove --purge package name list goes here | 01:35 |
| lemontea | Yv12345vY I can't ipconfig | 01:36 |

| nickrud | !noroot | tcossuto | 01:37 |
| ubotu | tcossuto: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 01:37 |

| Pirate-King | !avast | 01:37 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about avast - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:37 |
| Hammy | alright, well, how do I find out what parameters something has? | 01:37 |
| Jupp2 | tcossuto: try sudo su, then you'll be root | 01:38 |
| mattholimeau | hammy - fine the documentation for it | 01:38 |
| recon69 | MungaMan: i'm guessing that the live CD is choking setting up a pice of hardware on you computer | 01:38 |
| nickrud | Hammy: that is the 64 dollar question, I've been doing a little looking for you ... | 01:38 |
| mattholimeau | Hammy: try "man commandname" | 01:38 |
| mengzihan | why my mplayer can't run .avi | 01:38 |
| lemontea | Yv12345vY I can't ipconfig??/ | 01:38 |
| mattholimeau | !sound | 01:38 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:38 |
| th0r | CrackOrcad the command you want is wall | 01:39 |
| __mikem | lemontea, in linux its ifconfig I believe | 01:39 |
| desertc | mattholimeau: Is it muted? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/156930 | 01:39 |
| MungaMan | recon69: Should I try the other CD? | 01:39 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: .avi is a container not a file format | 01:39 |
| joelfranco | __mikem, i have ltsp and, in the initrd.img, there is a ipconfig :) | 01:39 |
| |rt| | anyone know of any recent changes that have resulted in unstable wireless network connections? | 01:39 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: what kind of video is it? | 01:39 |
| unicum | how do i make a partition to be the swap partition? | 01:39 |
| __mikem | what does .avi stand for anyway | 01:39 |
| Hammy | huh, I think I found a workaround | 01:39 |
| |rt| | __mikem: audio video interweave I believe | 01:40 |
| recon69 | MungaMan: been a while since i used a live cd, I only had one CD, you got 2? | 01:40 |
| __mikem | interweave? | 01:40 |
| adub | how do i remove a lock on apt-get | 01:40 |
| Hammy | did you put sudo before it? | 01:40 |
| clearzen | adub: Close the other package manager | 01:40 |
| MungaMan | recon69: There is an alternate CD with no live installer | 01:41 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, the .avi is a kind of movie form. | 01:41 |
| |rt| | __mikem: avi is a transport stream just like mpeg, mov, wvm...it holds elementry streams which can be audio or video streams | 01:41 |
| kiki67100 | Hello all | 01:41 |
| __mikem | oh | 01:41 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: no, but it can contain mpeg, divx, etc etc inside a file with a .avi extension | 01:42 |
| Hammy | I got avi files to play after downloading that big restricted package | 01:42 |
| arpegius | trying to fresh install gutsy on amd64. selecting start/install kills the video monitor signal and makes the light on my keyboard blink. i don't know if its trying to tell me an error or not... nothing's on the screen. any ideas? | 01:42 |
| kiki67100 | Bye | 01:42 |

| clearzen | mengzihan: sudo aptitude install vlc | 01:42 |
| ryadt | can someone plz help me : i cant watch any live streaming vid online | 01:43 |
| recon69 | MungaMan: well try it, I think that might be the CD for installing ubuntu on machines with less that 256md of ram, it use a text interface instead of a graphical one. well for a try if you are having graphic card issues | 01:43 |
| ryadt | i dont know if its a codec error | 01:43 |
| Joelito | question, is there more software in the ubuntu 7.10 CD than the default install from LiveCD? | 01:43 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, ok, I try it.,thank you. | 01:43 |
| mttr | can you reboot without x arpegius | 01:44 |

| clearzen | mttr: do you mean sudo shutdown -r now? | 01:44 |
| arpegius | mttr: so which setup option should i do? | 01:44 |
| ironfoot_495 | Flannel: is there a phpmyadmin.conf file some where? | 01:44 |
| CrackOrcad | guys I used "wall" - but wall wil send to all users I wanna send to an specific user how can I do that? | 01:45 |
| mttr | try booting cd with safemode graphic if possible | 01:45 |
| KlrSpz | CrackOrcad: write | 01:45 |
| clearzen | CrackOrcad: hence wall= write all | 01:45 |
| mttr | have to see if its a x problem or something else | 01:45 |
| arpegius | mttr: safemod graphics does the same thing | 01:46 |
| mttr | does ctrl backspace restart the x or do you have to reboot | 01:47 |
| |rt| | mttr ctrl alt backspace will restart x | 01:47 |
| horza | Weird, my sudo seems to be broken | 01:47 |
| KlrSpz | hey guys, i was following this page to tweak ubuntu (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Optimize-Ubuntu-Feisty-Fawn-for-Speed-53836.shtml) and sine i did the PROFILE addition (in lowercase of course) to the boot process, i've been getting HAL errors on boot.. any ideas how to reverse this step? grub manual has no info on this option.. is it an ubuntu specific thing? | 01:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KlrSpz: Why would you use a tutorial that only had two comments.. neither of them favorable and one with the same problem you are having now | 01:48 |
| horza | Eg, I type: sudo ls, and nothing. Just prompt. Any ideas? | 01:48 |
| arpegius | mttr: reboot | 01:48 |
| mttr | maybe the install part is corrupted on the disk, can you try update only the install | 01:48 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, My computer ticket memory is 512M,why run the vbox | 01:49 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: what? vlc is a media player | 01:49 |
| arpegius | mttr: i'll check the iso i downloaded. one sec... | 01:49 |
| Flannel | ironfoot_495: It'll be in your web directory, if its anywhere. | 01:50 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, I.m installing.I want to ask you another question. | 01:50 |
| Flannel | ironfoot_495: Or part of the DB | 01:50 |
| mttr | also you could have a memory problem.. some of the mem problem ie the jump test is critical to test for bad mem, not all mem test check with this test | 01:50 |
| WaterProof | i have a question.... i have ran the live cd version on my 48x drive but its so slow that to open each application i have to spend minimun6 or 7 minutes... | 01:51 |
| mattholimeau | my login screen goes "out of range" on my monitor.. does someone know how i can fix that? | 01:51 |
| WaterProof | why is that? | 01:51 |
| CrackOrcad | I'm looking for a command to get OS and System information ! do you know any of them? | 01:51 |
| evil_tech | lshw? | 01:51 |
| horza | Anybody know anything about sudo plz? | 01:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mattholimeau: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg try selecting your card if that does not work.. select vesa mode and 1024 max res | 01:51 |
| Jupp2 | CrackOrcad: uname -a | 01:51 |
| mengzihan | My computer ticket memory is 512M,why runs vbox very slow: | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sudo | 01:52 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 01:52 |
| KlrSpz | Jack_Sparrow: good find.. didn't see those comments.. it was the concurrencty line... i guess it's the order it starts in is the issue... but more about the profile.. is there any info on that you have? Nothing i'm searching for is turning up anything as "profile" is a pretty common term on forums | 01:52 |
| mttr | what horza ? | 01:52 |
| horza | Jack_Sparrow: I know WHAT it is, just wonder why it's suddenly stopped working | 01:52 |
| DerangedDelusion | !msgbot > Jack_Sparrow | 01:52 |
| horza | Whick means I can't do anything in Ubuntu and more | 01:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DerangedDelusion: Please dont do that... | 01:52 |
| horza | mttr: When I type in sudo <cmd> nothing happens | 01:53 |
| mttr | does su work | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DerangedDelusion: I do know how to msg the bot.. | 01:53 |
| ryanakca | how can I find a file older than 2006 from the CLI ? | 01:53 |
| CrackOrcad | I'm looking for a commadn to get hardware info in Linux is there any/ | 01:53 |
| horza | mttr: No | 01:53 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, are you online? | 01:53 |
| ryanakca | CrackOrcad: lsusb ? lspci ? | 01:53 |
| horza | 'su' on it's own gives authentication failure | 01:53 |
| mttr | have u tried new terminal | 01:53 |
| iCEifer | hello, I have /dev/sda2 formatted as a swap partition but I don't think Ubuntu is using it since the command "free" shows 0 of swap, how can I tell it to use this? | 01:53 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: yeah | 01:53 |
| horza | mttr: I've just done a reboot | 01:54 |
| mttr | not in X | 01:54 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, can you tell how to speed up vbox? | 01:54 |
| mattholimeau | Jack_Sparrow: i've done that a bunch of times and it's finally working right for everything but the login screen... i'm really nervous about running that again and messing it up | 01:54 |
| mttr | ok horza,, | 01:54 |
| mattholimeau | Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't detect my video hardware, and i think vesa is what i've got it set to now | 01:54 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: Add more RAM to your system | 01:55 |
| horza | iCEifer: it shows 0 used for me too. | 01:55 |
| mattholimeau | though i really ought to go with nvidia | 01:55 |
| iCEifer | horza, hmmm, I don't think that's right is it? :) | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mattholimeau: USe the pastebin to post your xorg so someone can look it over.. then provide us with the link | 01:55 |
| TxdoHawk | Hi folks. I am having problems running Ubuntu under MS Virtual PC. Normal boot gives me a scrambled screen, and safe mode gives me a clean desktop...but I can't use my mouse. Do you think I would have better luck with VMware? | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | horza: what happens when you type in a terminal gksudo gedit | 01:56 |
| navetz | can somebody please help me set up kmail to work with hotmail | 01:56 |
| mttr | mine free shows 0 also | 01:56 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | mengzihan, i have 1.5g ram and gave 512mb to my guest os (xp) of vbox. it runs fairly fast | 01:56 |
| horza | jack_sparrow: dialogue box which says sudo does not allow me to run this program | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | horza: Have you used sudo to run gui apps instead of gksudo | 01:57 |
| horza | I added my user to group 'pulse' to try and fix sound with Flash. Maybe that did it? | 01:57 |
| mengzihan | clearzen, my computer has only one memory slot.I bought another memory,but it can't run | 01:57 |
| pteague | TxdoHawk> ms virtual pc? just the name of that sounds like it'd have problems... i've had few problems with both vmware server & virtualbox | 01:57 |
| horza | jack_sparrow: Only synaptic. | 01:57 |
| WaterProof | i have a question.... i have ran the live cd version on my 48x drive but its so slow that to open each application i have to spend minimun6 or 7 minutes... | 01:58 |
| arpegius | mttr: checksum is legit | 01:58 |
| WaterProof | why is that?? | 01:58 |
| pteague | TxdoHawk> it might also be a good idea to try to boot off an iso image rather than off the cd/dvd | 01:58 |
| horza | jack_sparrow: wine_doors terminated early but pretty sure that doesn't run as root | 01:58 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | WaterProof, how big is ur ram? | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | horza: Is this a regular hard drive install or one of the many unsupported ways of running it? | 01:58 |
| WaterProof | 256 mb of physical ram | 01:58 |
| mattholimeau | Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.ca/854200 | 01:58 |
| clearzen | mengzihan: to run a virtual system smoothly you would need more total RAM than 512MB available on your system. at least a GB maybe more. | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mattholimeau: thanks.. looking now | 01:59 |
| horza | jack_sparrow: it's a fresh install. In fact I spent about 8 hours and 4-5 installs to get it working so I don't really want to have to reinstall :-( | 01:59 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | WaterProof, it not depends on the speed of ur cd/dvd rom, it depends on the amount of ram mostly | 01:59 |
| WaterProof | it's too small the quantity of memory? | 01:59 |
| arpegius | mttr: tho check disk for defects blanks my screen too... | 01:59 |
| mttr | it could be memory problem arpeguius | 01:59 |
| TxdoHawk | Hmm, oka, thanks pteague. | 02:00 |
| xjdriver69 | how do you restart audio, mine dropped out and i dont want to reboot? | 02:00 |
| pteague | WaterProof> 512+256mb would probably work, but would still be a bit slower than 1gb | 02:00 |
| clearzen | WaterProof: It caches everything it needs to run on your RAM and 256MB is not a lot for that purpose. I will be painfully slow | 02:00 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | WaterProof, and i dont think 256mb of ram is really enough to run the livecd smoothly | 02:00 |
| WaterProof | ok thanks... | 02:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mattholimeau: Line 656 says you are set to nvidia.. and the monitor v/h settings look generic and not something you entered yourself.. Is theis a desktop or laptop and did you TRY to install any video drivers yourself as in from nvidia | 02:00 |
| ryanakca | CrackOrcad: lsusb ? lspci ? | 02:00 |
| ryanakca | oops, sorry | 02:01 |
| ryanakca | how can I find a file older than 2006 from the CLI ? | 02:01 |

| adub | /usr/share/man/man8/update-mime.8.gz | 02:20 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | Pelo, my suggestion is make the xp partition smaller and creat a share partition for both os | 02:20 |
| * bkar taking notes of Pelo experience with ntfs-3g | 02:20 | |
| Malinthe | bkar: i don't see anything significant | 02:21 |
| Pelo | [Gutsy]TuTUXG, , it is being considered | 02:21 |
| nickrud | adub: does sudo apt-get remove wine work, if it doesn't pastebin the output | 02:21 |
| [Gutsy]TuTUXG | Pelo, so every time u just cp data to the share partition without touch the windows one | 02:21 |
| matthew | does ati support tv-out or just radeon | 02:21 |
| bkar | Malinthe-> well those are the things i look for, processes that consumes lots of resources | 02:21 |
| matthew | how do you use xrandr for composite? all the instructions i can find are just for s-video | 02:22 |
| crdlb | matthew: what do you mean by 'ati'? | 02:22 |
| crdlb | matthew: the 'ati' driver *is* the 'radeon' driver | 02:22 |
| matthew | crdlb: there is a driver called ati and there is one called radeon | 02:22 |
| * nickrud changes his fstab back to ntfs | 02:22 | |

| nickrud | Pelo: no. nothing personal, but I don't want to reinstall windows | 02:23 |
| crdlb | matthew: that it makes absolutely no difference which driver you use, because in the end, you use the same one :) | 02:23 |
| Malinthe | bkar: something wrong with gnome? i tried the kubuntu live cd and kde felt super fast | 02:23 |
| matthew | crdlb: then why do they both exist. seems unnecessarily confusing | 02:23 |
| * Pelo is quite disapointed at nickrud unwillingness to risk his windows to help him | 02:24 | |

| bkar | Malinthe-> i dont know really if something wrong, are you on a liveCD? | 02:24 |
| crdlb | matthew: because 'ati' will load one of four drivers depending on the model of ati card you have | 02:24 |
| Malinthe | bkar: nope, installed | 02:25 |

| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 02:26 |
| Laurenceb | hi all | 02:27 |
| david919__ | Pelo: the CD ROM mount opened and /media/cdrom0 popped up and the CDs named showed but no files were in the folder which i know is impossible | 02:27 |
| nickrud | adub: you should delete the wine deb from /var/cache/apt/archives , just in case there's a corruption in it before trying a reinstall | 02:27 |
| Laurenceb | my ubuntu installation wont hybernate | 02:27 |
| DerangedDelusion | I have a network setup with my ubuntu box and a Windows XP PC, with no passwords on any of the usernames.

| LurkersA | bluefoxx, if you browse to your home/.wine dir there should be a "Drive_C" or similar folder. Inside that is your wine's 'WINDOWS' folder etc. paste it in there | 02:27 |
| Pelo | david919__, sorry, I was talking to Alex_Gaynor | 02:28 |
| bluefoxx | LurkersA: directly into it? | 02:28 |
| Pelo | Alex_Gaynor, do you get a boot menu ? | 02:28 |
| LurkersA | yes | 02:28 |
| bkar | DerangedDelusion-> if it was me, id use NFS to share files, not samba, but that is me | 02:28 |
| adub | nickrud its removed | 02:28 |
| ironfoot_495 | Flannel: this is the error I get => tasksel: aptitude failed (100) | 02:28 |
| LurkersA | bluefoxx, I just pasted my entire Windows directory into it | 02:28 |
| nickrud | adub: no you can try reinstalling it if you like. | 02:28 |
| adub | apt-get remove wine | 02:28 |
| Alex_Gaynor | Pelo: I get the choice of windows or ubuntu(luckily), I go through those probelms only when I press linux, after the error I can press any key to see a list of options | 02:28 |
| Laurenceb | my ubuntu installation wont hibernate, any ideas? | 02:28 |
| DerangedDelusion | bkar - my ubuntu box isn't sharing ANY files - I'm trying to access the shares on my Windows box through the File Browser's NFS tool. | 02:28 |
| Laurenceb | just installed it | 02:28 |
| Laurenceb | it doesnt turn off | 02:29 |
| bluefoxx | LurkersA: so technically i could go to a windows computer, go to its WINDOWS dir, copy everything in there to a flash drive and put it on my computer? | 02:29 |
| nickrud | adub: no, sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/wine<tab> <-- hit the tab key | 02:29 |
| Pelo | Alex_Gaynor, error 17 means that it can'T find the os, you probably got borked when grub was rewriten after a kernel upgrade | 02:29 |
| adub | yeah i removed it | 02:29 |
| nixnoob | is there any way to get evolution to wait for an internet connection before it downloads messages so that it doesnt throw me an error on startup? | 02:29 |

| mttr | using tighvnc at the moment.. seems to work ok | 02:30 |
| nickrud | adub: did you do sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq wine ? | 02:30 |
| LurkersA | bluefoxx, Not sure about vista. It worked for me using XP's folder. | 02:30 |
| Pelo | Alex_Gaynor, that doewn'Tsound right, I have never heard of webui makeing a "fake" partiton inside the regular ntfs one, you migth be screwed, | 02:31 |
| bluefoxx | LurkersA: ah, ok, well thanks anyways, should get me started | 02:31 |
| LurkersA | bluefoxx, No problem | 02:31 |
| Alex_Gaynor | Pelo: That was my impression of how wubi worked, if thats not how it worked I didn't make it do anything special | 02:31 |

| nickrud | adub: then it's odd that the removal script is saying it can't (that's why it's failing) | 02:36 |
| Alex_Gaynor | clearzen: It appears the user was having a problem with the actual hard drive, because I am using Wubi I don't think it is the same problem | 02:36 |
| adub | you dont know what the problem could be? | 02:36 |

| lusepuster | Hi folks! I like the Stickies applet, but it annoys me that every time I click on the desktop , the notes are minimized to the tray. Is there any way to change this behaviour? | 02:37 |
| nickrud | adub: I know how to get around it, but there's something wrong that needs figuring out. | 02:37 |
| adub | nickrud this is odd i did apt-get install nikto | 02:37 |
| adub | b/c i wanted that apt now its geting wine ?? | 02:37 |
| adub | lmao | 02:38 |
| nickrud | adub: yeah, until you clear up the wine problem you can't use apt | 02:38 |

| Alex_Gaynor | clearzen: Yes, my drive has only 1 partition | 02:38 |

| adub | thanks for your help thus far | 02:39 |

| nixnoob | why does keyring manager always prompt me for my password on startup? I allowed application access... | 02:42 |
| darthbuh | I need a guru's help please | 02:42 |
| lusepuster | trying again... I like the Stickies applet, but it annoys me that every time I click on the desktop , the notes are minimized to the tray. Is there any way to change this behaviour? | 02:42 |
| DerangedDelusion | nickrud - bkar just told me that I'd be better off using NFS to share the files. | 02:42 |
| nickrud | DerangedDelusion: he's deranged :) | 02:42 |
| bullgard4 | What is a 'custom hook' as in http://arancaytar.ermarian.net/news/bbcode/feed? | 02:42 |
| DerangedDelusion | I have Samba installed, but it always asks me for a password to see the shares in the Windows XP box - the Windows XP box has no passwords. | 02:42 |
| lusepuster | nixnoob, isn't that to access your wireless? | 02:43 |
| s0ulstice | !azureus | 02:43 |
| darthbuh | Is anyone here familiar with a Silicon Image RAID0 configuration? | 02:43 |
| ubotu | azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AzureusHowTo | 02:43 |
| DerangedDelusion | nickrud: I have Samba installed, but it always asks me for a password to see the shares in the Windows XP box - the Windows XP box has no passwords. | 02:43 |
| nixnoob | lusepuster, yes | 02:43 |
| ffesioux | rainwalker: do you think I can put some apt-cache stuff on the free space which will be left on the dvd? | 02:43 |
| darthbuh | Or could tell me what channel to use for something like that? | 02:43 |
| nickrud | DerangedDelusion: there's a way around that (I see it all the time here) but I don't use samba so I can't suggest solutions. Ask that question some more, some pretty samba savy people come here regularly | 02:43 |
| lusepuster | nixnoob, and you've done those twists to make it not prompt you? It's defaoult ubuntu behaviour | 02:44 |
| s0ulstice | anyone have problems getting azureus to work in 7.10? | 02:44 |
| clearzen | Alex_Gaynor: Could you boot a live cd and run a check on your hdd like e2fsck -cc /dev/xxx | 02:44 |
| rainwalker | ffesioux: there's probably a way to do that, but I don't know how. if you want, you could google a way to make your own live cd, I know there are ways to do it | 02:44 |
| nickrud | DerangedDelusion: or, you could ask the question on #samba | 02:44 |
| jaz_ | DerangedDelusion: if you have no password set in XP and samba is asking you for a password, you should be able to just hit enter at the password prompt | 02:44 |
| Alex_Gaynor | clearzen: I could, I need to download the live cd | 02:44 |
| clearzen | lex_Gaynor: where dev/xxx is actually your sata drive (ie /dev/sda1 | 02:44 |
| nixnoob | lusepuster, well yea it asks if i want to allow nm-applet to access it and i said yes | 02:44 |
| nixnoob | lusepuster, but it still asks on startup | 02:44 |
| DerangedDelusion | jaz_ - I attempted that, even with changing the username, even with blanking it out, and it's still no good. | 02:44 |
| lusepuster | It prompts you everytime you start up... security measure | 02:45 |
| Reilwin | hamalaway you might want to wait a bit | 02:45 |
| jaz_ | DerangedDelusion: i believe you have to use "guest" as the username | 02:45 |
| s0ulstice | ffesioux: Try this link, it will have some links on how to build a live CD http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html | 02:45 |
| lusepuster | oops... nixnoob , It prompts you everytime you start up... security measure | 02:45 |
| clearzen | Alex_Gaynor: I believe that is the best place to start. It may even solve your problem. you can check to see how much of the disk is non-contiguous with e2fsck -r /dev/xxx | 02:46 |
| conal` | [Gutsy]TuTUXG: thanks. i'll do that. | 02:46 |
| nixnoob | lusepuster, yea well im trying to get rid of that do u kno a way? | 02:46 |
| darthbuh | Does anyone here have experience with a RAID0 config? | 02:46 |
| clearzen | Alex_Gaynor: e2fsck -f /dev/xxx | 02:46 |
| Alex_Gaynor | clearzen: Ok, downloading it now, as I said I ran the defragger linked on my entire hdd | 02:46 |
| DerangedDelusion | jaz_: no dice.l | 02:47 |
| unagi | how can i view videos namely .flv frame by frame? | 02:47 |
| lusepuster | nixnoob, there's a guide at http://www.ossgeeks.co.uk/?p=120 , but they say it's compromising security a bit | 02:47 |
| jaz_ | DerangedDelusion: i dunno what to tell you then, that combination has always worked for me...maybe somebody who is more of a samba guru can help | 02:47 |
| clearzen | darthbuh: I have a little. But most of the work was done by my RAID card for me | 02:47 |

| darthbuh | I've been trying to install for 2 days | 02:52 |
| clearzen | darthbuh: What utility are you using? | 02:52 |
| jetscreamer | arthur37854: try -t auto instead of -t udf | 02:52 |
| jetscreamer | it's probably iso9660 or whatever the name is | 02:53 |
| mttr | arthur does the disk get recongnized on anyother system | 02:53 |
| nickrud | jords: sudo aptitude reinstall kdm ; if that doesn't work then run sudo dpkg -i --force-confnew /var/cache/apt/archives/kdm<tab> <-- press the tab key. | 02:53 |
| clearzen | darthbuh: are you using mdadm? | 02:54 |

| qwerty121 | etzerd: since kde 4 is officially released, apt-get update would do i guess | 03:28 |
| bmt2 | spideyman: i have done that...but for some reason apt-get can not find the source "ffmpeg" | 03:28 |

| john47 | Anyone know how to re-install Ubuntu Gutsy from the Live CD? I suspect that the first install I did was very very flawed. | 03:38 |
| Directed | Sultanahmet cammi . | 03:38 |
| saarblog | can any help me? Desktop effects could not be enabled | 03:38 |
| ClericDelta | WorkingOnWise: That's some sad news. Hopefully not truly the case. Would a reboot of ubuntu work at all or no? | 03:38 |

| Alex_Gaynor | I installed ubuntu 7.10 several weeks ago using Wubi, it has been working well, however today it crashed, and when I tried to reboot I got the error, this all occurs before I even see the ubuntu loading bar: find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 17: File not found, it then offers a prompt with a list of files, commandline, halt, and reboot, none of the listed files work, and I get this error | 03:38 |
| Directed | istanbul | 03:38 |

| saarblog | Desktop effects could not be enabled, please help me | 03:39 |
| kdubois | how do we have 1154 people and no admins watching? | 03:39 |
| mttr | alex sounds like maybe you bios has changed the boot order and so it can't find the partion | 03:39 |
| nickrud | kdubois: they're around | 03:39 |
| kdubois | saarblog: what is wrong exactly? | 03:39 |
| Starnestommy | kdubois: they are, they just don't usually show their +o | 03:39 |

| kdubois | saarblog: well you know something is wrong, how do you know its incorrect? | 03:40 |
| NumBeast_sal | john 47 just put the cd back in and install again :P | 03:40 |
| nickrud | saarblog: what kind of video card do you have, if you're not sure lspci | grep -i vga in a terminal will tell you | 03:40 |
| peter_nakamura | cd | 03:40 |
| saarblog | kdubois: ATI 128 Pro | 03:40 |
| shazow_ | dear world, i have two sound cards, and the order of which they are loaded keeps changing every time i boot, how do i make it the same order always so the same card is hw:0,0 and hw:1,0 respectively | 03:40 |
| qwerty121 | etzerd: then try googling with 'upgrade to kde4" | 03:40 |
| ClericDelta | WorkingOnWise: I just realized that for other people, myspaceIM on pidgin worked for them. Even though this info doesn't help the problem. I just realized it. | 03:41 |
| sksol | hey guys, how do i make some commands run at startup? | 03:41 |
| saarblog | kdubois: it say 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF | 03:41 |
| nickrud | shazow_: do you only use one? | 03:41 |
| john47 | NumBeast_sal: Thanks, ok, I need to be more specific. I have Windows OS on another partition - How to I do the re-install such that I don't kill all those files? | 03:41 |
| etzerd | OK | 03:41 |
| shazow_ | nickrud: i use both for different things (one is hooked up to my tv) | 03:41 |
| NumBeast_sal | shazow_ idk how to solve your problem, but I'm interested as to why you want the soundcards to do that | 03:41 |
| kdubois | saarblog: so you have the driver installed corrcetly then? are you on 'flgrx' or on 'ati'? | 03:41 |
| saarblog | ATI | 03:41 |
| shazow_ | NumBeast_sal: because i have each hooked up to different sets of speakers.. one i use for normal desktop stuff, the other i use for home theater stuff | 03:41 |
| Alex_Gaynor | I installed ubuntu 7.10 several weeks ago using Wubi, it has been working well, however today it crashed, and when I tried to reboot I got the error, this all occurs before I even see the ubuntu loading bar: find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 17: File not found, it then offers a prompt with a list of files, commandline, halt, and reboot, none of the listed files work, and I get this error | 03:42 |
| sksol | guys, how do i make some custom start up commands? | 03:42 |
| qwerty121 | sksol: go to preferences-> Sessions and add the script | 03:42 |
| sksol | oo | 03:42 |
| sksol | thanks | 03:42 |
| qwerty121 | sksol: or the command | 03:42 |
| qwerty121 | !repeat | sksol | 03:42 |
| ubotu | sksol: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 03:42 |
| nickrud | shazow_: ok, that's over my head. If you see crimsun around, ask him | 03:43 |
| shazow_ | thanks | 03:43 |
| NumBeast_sal | john47: Sorry, I don't know the details of installing a dual-boot | 03:43 |
| NumBeast_sal | john47 but I think you can choose what partition to install to from the graphical installer | 03:43 |
| sksol | ok, sorry guys... now is that command gonna run when i log out and then log back in again? or just at computer boot? | 03:43 |
| Flake | Does anyone know of a program that works just like the Kontact journal? I mean just that portion with the entries entered in a calendar format. | 03:43 |
| kdubois | saarblog: here, i mean that there is a closed source 'flgrx' driver and an open source 'ati' driver, both for ati cards, which one are you using? | 03:43 |
| saarblog | kdubois: i dont know | 03:44 |
| qwerty121 | sksol: it would work when you logout and login | 03:44 |
| arthur37854 | how do you install patience? apt-get install patience | 03:44 |
| sksol | :) thank you | 03:44 |
| arthur37854 | lol | 03:44 |
| mengzihan | I want to install nvu,who can tell me how to install it? | 03:45 |
| NumBeast_sal | kdubois what was your question? | 03:45 |
| Thornsberry | Can someone help me with getting flash videos to play in Firefox, like through YouTube and other such websites? I have flashplugin-nonfree, gnash, mozilla-plugin-gnash, and still can't get any of the videos to play. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? | 03:45 |
| kdubois | saarblog: if you didnt explicitly install flgrx, you're probably using ati. does the command 'glxgears' produce a window for you? | 03:45 |
| tushyd | how do you make a shell script run as a program? | 03:45 |
| arthur37854 | install adobe flash player | 03:45 |
| NumBeast_sal | ushyd what do you mean? | 03:45 |
| NumBeast_sal | tushyd what do you mean | 03:46 |
| astro76 | mengzihan: it's called kompozer now | 03:46 |
| shazow_ | Thornsberry: try using adobe's installer script instead | 03:46 |
| spideyman | Thornsberry did you download the flash installer | 03:46 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: You're the man now but when I just tried to run a php script it does'nt work? | 03:46 |
| Thornsberry | spideyman: yeah, that's the flashplugin-nonfree | 03:46 |
| mascaria | Is there anyone available to help via PM? I'm super stuck trying to get my DVD player to work and I need help. | 03:46 |
| saarblog | kdubois: that show me 3 gears | 03:46 |
| Thornsberry | spideyman, at least that is what it says in the description in synaptic. | 03:47 |
| spideyman | Thornsberry use adobes installer script from there site | 03:47 |
| Alex_Gaynor | I installed ubuntu 7.10 several weeks ago using Wubi, it has been working well, however today it crashed, and when I tried to reboot I got the error, this all occurs before I even see the ubuntu loading bar: find --set-root --ignore-floppies /ubuntu/install/boot/grub/menu.lst Error 17: File not found, it then offers a prompt with a list of files, commandline, halt, and reboot, none of the listed files work, and I get this error | 03:47 |
| Thornsberry | spideyman, alright. | 03:47 |
| spideyman | Thornsberry i just did it an hour ago | 03:47 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: to get back the rest, sudo aptitude install apache2-doc libapache2-mod-php5 | 03:47 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: I've got several problem I need phpmyadmin and mysql all working together!!! | 03:47 |
| kdubois | saarblog: thats what it should be doing, i would guess that you have 3d acceleration set up correctly, what is going wrong with compiz? | 03:47 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor sounds like maybe you bios has changed the boot order and so it can't find the partion | 03:47 |
| mengzihan | astro76, but the kompozer is not good to support chinese. | 03:48 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: I installed using wubi so that can't be the problem | 03:48 |
| sksol | guys, when i open any window, it opens so that the top title bar (the one with the close, minimize, maximize buttons) is always above the screen. it is really annoying, cause i have to press alt and move the window every time | 03:48 |
| Thornsberry | spideyman, is there a specific one that I need to get? | 03:48 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: did you see my last? | 03:48 |
| sksol | how do i change the initial location of windows opened. oh, i use compiz | 03:48 |
| saarblog | kdubois: it say Desktop effects could not be enabled | 03:48 |
| astro76 | mengzihan: afaik kompozer *is* nvu, I wasn't aware there were differences | 03:48 |
| shazow_ | Thornsberry: go on the adobe site, go to the flash section, click on download, choose linux, that's the one you want | 03:48 |
| spideyman | Thornsberry hold on | 03:48 |
| crdlb | sksol: join #compiz-fusion and see the Place Window plugin in ccsm | 03:48 |
| saarblog | kdubois: when i enable it, say Desktop effects could not be enabled | 03:49 |
| nickrud | shazow_: I should have mentioned, you could try asking on #alsa also | 03:49 |
| NumBeast_sal | does anyone know if Adobe AIR runs on linux yet? | 03:49 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: The problem occured right after I crashed so I am not sure whether the crash cuased it or whether it was something bound to happen on a restart and it just happened to be the next restart was after the crash | 03:49 |
| mttr | Sorry I ddn't realzise about wubi, Have not worked with that | 03:49 |
| shazow_ | nickrud: I have a few ideas to try out, i was just wondering if someone here knew the answer off the top of their head, thanks though | 03:49 |
| spideyman | Thornsberry ok get the tarball | 03:49 |
| Thornsberry | shazow_: Which one would you recommend, the .yum, .rpm, or .tar.gz? | 03:50 |
| nickrud | shazow_: I know it goes in ~/.asound.conf :) | 03:50 |
| mttr | The file may have got corrupted because its is a container from what i read | 03:50 |
| saarblog | kdubois: and when i run "compiz" in terminal it say : aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity | 03:50 |
| shazow_ | Thornsberry: yum is for suse, rpm is for fedora, tar.gz is generic... get that. | 03:50 |
| shazow_ | er, not suse | 03:50 |
| shazow_ | whatever :P | 03:50 |
| foug | in gimp, what's the command to free transform an image? Similar to ctrl+t in Photoshop | 03:50 |
| mengzihan | astro76, I don't konw why? | 03:50 |
| mascaria | ok, so i followed all the steps on https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/musicvideophotos/C/video.html and I also got all of the medibuntu stuff. when i type wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-get add && sudo apt-get update i get an error | 03:50 |
| mascaria | gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory | 03:50 |
| kdubois | crdlb: do you know if the ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 Pro Ultra TF is blacklisted? | 03:50 |
| Thornsberry | shazow_, Alright. | 03:50 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: From windows I can open it with a text editor, should I paste the contents? | 03:50 |
| crdlb | kdubois: it just doesn't work | 03:50 |
| crdlb | kdubois: no need for a blacklist, it fails to pass the basic compatibility tests | 03:50 |
| shazow_ | nickrud: I think i need to define it on the module level | 03:51 |
| kdubois | saarblog: crdlb just gave you your answer then | 03:51 |
| Flake | Does anyone know of a program that works just like the Kontact journal? I mean just that portion with the entries entered in a calendar format. | 03:51 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: no | 03:51 |
| mttr | I'm not sure if that would work.. <Alex_Gaynor | 03:51 |
| astro76 | Alex_Gaynor: this is a problem that would only happen with wubi, and fyi no one here really supports or runs it... you should install Ubuntu for real ;) | 03:51 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: sudo aptitude install apache2-doc libapache2-mod-php5 | 03:51 |
| Alex_Gaynor | astro76: I will eventually, when I finally replace this HDD, but for now I am running it this way, where would you reccomend for Wubi support(there is a thread on the ubuntu wubiforums), no responses yet | 03:52 |
| secleinteer | can someone point me to a good guide for fixing grub after a windows reinstall? | 03:52 |
| mttr | <Alex_Gaynor have you found anyone else using this wubi installation | 03:52 |
| nickrud | !grub | secleinteer | 03:52 |
| ubotu | secleinteer: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 03:52 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: What do you mean? | 03:52 |
| saarblog | kdubois: thank u | 03:52 |
| secleinteer | nickrud: thanks! | 03:52 |
| mttr | was wondering if there was a forum for Wubi | 03:53 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: There is a section on the ubuntu forums for it | 03:53 |
| shazow_ | nickrud: found it, had to add a couple of lines to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, defining the index for each module | 03:53 |
| wit_273 | every time my system comes out of hibernate brightness is all the way up and I can not lower the brightness. Anyone know what would cause this or how to solve it? | 03:53 |
| === Alex_Gaynor_ is now known as Alex_Gaynor | ||
| nickrud | shazow_: cool then | 03:53 |
| astro76 | Alex_Gaynor: there doesn't really seem to be any other support options for it | 03:54 |
| mengzihan | mttr, can you tell me how to install Wubi. | 03:54 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor i gathere there is no file repair for that | 03:54 |
| FYI | wit_273: have you checked your power settings in System > Prefs. > Power Management? | 03:54 |
| ironfoot_495 | ok now how about mysql andphpmyadmin? | 03:54 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: I don't believe so, I'm going to paste the menu.lst located at wubi/boot/grub/ | 03:54 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor i thought it was just a setup file installed / download from the intenet | 03:55 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: ? | 03:55 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: Yeah, thats how wubi works, I don't think it has a repair functiion though | 03:55 |
| Alex_Gaynor | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51864/ here is the menu.lst | 03:55 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: you need to install them, mysql-server-5.0 phpmyadmin . phpmyadmin won't seem to be under /var/www , but can be reached at localhost/phpmyadmin | 03:56 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor it is an interesting conscept put there are some pitfalls as not having the same robustness as a dual boot system | 03:56 |
| eatThisAndDie | guys, this may be offtopic but i cant get the thunderbird lighting extension to work, it was fine on Fedora. So i'm not sure where i'm going wrong. | 03:56 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor does it create a partion for that linux | 03:56 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: No, linux is installed a file on the host OS | 03:56 |
| ogre | hey guys how do i change my main menu icon? I have a tux one I want to replace the gnome foot with | 03:57 |
| luis | anyone know if there are programmes to open .rar files in uvuntu? | 03:57 |
| wit_273 | FYI I have looked at the power settings and I do not see anything there that would cause it to start back with full brightness--nor anything that would prevent me from manually checking brightness | 03:57 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: I have mysql but this is the error => http://rafb.net/p/E7R12L65.html | 03:57 |
| luis | Ubuntu* | 03:57 |
| shazow_ | luis: rar, unrar | 03:58 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor does it have any kind of live cd for it,, I would doubt that it has | 03:58 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart | 03:58 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: first step, anyway | 03:58 |
| luis | danke schoen sharow | 03:58 |
| Thornsberry | shazow_: I have a quick question. | 03:58 |
| shazow_ | Thornsberry: I do not know the answer | 03:58 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: It doesn't have any seperate live cd, but I can obviously still use the Ubuntu one | 03:58 |
| shazow_ | ... having not heard it. | 03:59 |
| BlahingHereAndTh | can i auto unlock my keyring in kubuntu? | 03:59 |
| Thornsberry | shazow_: I'm installing the flash player and it keeps asking me for the mozilla installation path. What would that be? I tried /usr/lib/mozilla and it doesn't work. | 03:59 |
| * nickrud thinks ironic humor sometimes doesn't translate to text :) | 03:59 | |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor have you run chkdsk on that disk | 03:59 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: ok | 03:59 |
| mascaria | is there anyone available to help me with my DVD player? I've followed all the documentations on the Ubuntu site and also installed mediabunto but when i try to add the GPG key i get an error in terminal saying gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory | 03:59 |
| shazow_ | BlahingHereAndTh: you can change how long it takes until it locks again, but having it always be unlocked would kind of defeat the point | 03:59 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: Yeah, and I've defragged | 03:59 |
| mttr | hmm | 04:00 |
| bastid_raZor | Thornsberry:: probably /usr/bin/firefox | 04:00 |
| BlahingHereAndTh | shazow_, in ubuntu u can have it unlock when you login if you have the same password...., can i do that with kde? | 04:00 |
| shazow_ | Thornsberry: for normal firefox, /usr/lib/firefox | 04:00 |
| immutzz | low | 04:00 |
| shazow_ | Thornsberry: do: ls /usr/lib/firefox*; for other versions | 04:00 |
| Thornsberry | That did it. Thanks. | 04:00 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor have you tried re-running the install it is suppose to detect the last installation | 04:01 |
| shazow_ | BlahingHereAndTh: I don't quite know how, but I think you can make the timeout unlimited, so it wont lock up after you unlock it the first time | 04:01 |
| ironfoot_495 | says permission denied | 04:01 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: I haven't yet, I can | 04:01 |
| BlahingHereAndTh | i just get tired of typing in my password twice.... | 04:01 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: says permission denied! | 04:01 |
| shazow_ | BlahingHereAndTh: you can also remove its password, so it will unlock automatically | 04:01 |
| nickrud | ronaldo: sudo said permission denied? | 04:01 |
| BlahingHereAndTh | shazow_, that would be really unsecure.... | 04:02 |
| shazow_ | BlahingHereAndTh: yup.. | 04:02 |
| nickrud | ronaldo: sorry, ironfoot_495 sudo said permission denied? | 04:02 |
| hxu | Somebody please help me about wireless driver on Ubuntu 7.04 | 04:02 |
| hxu | It's driving me crazy | 04:02 |
| shazow_ | BlahingHereAndTh: not more insecure than having it unlock on login, since someone would need to be logged in as you to have access to it | 04:02 |
| hxu | my laptop is HP nx6325 | 04:02 |
| ironfoot_495 | well I'm using sudo su | 04:02 |

| nickrud | ironfoot_495: that's a really silly thing to do. If you want root, use sudo -i . | 04:03 |
| hxu | Please, somebody, is there a good wiki howto about this? The one I found does not work... | 04:03 |
| hxu | Please, it's freaking me out! | 04:03 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: how did you install mysql? And, did you do any editing in /etc/mysql ? | 04:03 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: oh ok | 04:03 |

| BlahingHereAndTh | how do i change my kde wallet password? | 04:04 |
| mattholimeau | after a fresh gutsy install, my screensavers all had options dialog boxes that i could get to pop up... now that i've enabled compiz and all sorts of other configs, those dialog boxes have disappeared. anyone know how to get at them again? | 04:04 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: ok done but it still says permission Denied | 04:04 |
| shazow_ | BlahingHereAndTh: not sure, but you can create a new wallet with an empty password | 04:04 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: in what context? What's saying permission denied? | 04:04 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor according to wubi wiki Run Wubi-7.04-XYZ.exe again. Wubi will detect that there is an existing installation and you will be shown an option to uninstall. | 04:04 |
| astro76 | mattholimeau: really? gnome screensavers hasn't had any options for awhile | 04:05 |
| mttr | that should apply to 7.10 if that is avail also | 04:05 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: -bash: /etc/init.d/mysql: Permission denied | 04:05 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: Well I'm trying to avoid uninstalling | 04:05 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: as a regular user, run sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop | 04:05 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: ok! | 04:06 |
| mattholimeau | astro76: yeah - i messed up a bunch of them.. like the life simulation.. i was also able to toggle whether or not they would be selected as random | 04:06 |

| dg19075 | here's one for the brain trust: In my open Pidgin window, the user's name is on one line, and what he types is on the line below. I'd like to go back to having the name and stuff typed all on one line. Any ideas? | 04:08 |
| mttr | Alex_Gaynor maybe you can save the home file "C:\wubi\disks\." that would save all the important files and than just reinstall and than copy the virtual file back in folder | 04:08 |
| ironfoot_495 | nic still permission Denied! | 04:08 |
| spider_ | i coded a program use to download some files | 04:08 |
| hxu | Somebody use Ubuntu 7.10 on HP nx6325 laptop? | 04:08 |
| spider_ | welcome to www.wenbocms.cn/java/i-down.jar | 04:08 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: Hrm, that sounds like it might work, windows is working now, so I'm going to try and wait for a forums response | 04:08 |
| nickrud | spider_: don't spam this channel (nice site) | 04:09 |
| hxu | Is there a Ubuntu wiki about HP nx6325 laptop? | 04:09 |
| Kowen | hi everyone | 04:09 |
| spider_ | does eveyone dell laptop | 04:09 |
| spider_ | does everyone using dell laptop? | 04:10 |
| Kowen | when i run live cd 7.10 i cant connect to the net ... it is normal? | 04:10 |
| Starnestommy | spider_: not everyone | 04:10 |
| Starnestommy | Permission denied (publickey,keyboard-interactive). | 04:10 |
| Starnestommy | whoops | 04:10 |
| shazow_ | Kowen: no | 04:10 |
| mttr | well good luck with that if the virtual file are in the C:\wubi\disks\. area,, then you have a good chance of having your file saved..that would be the purpuse of have seperate virtual disk files | 04:10 |
| whonicca | how accurate is nautilus at reporting empty hard drive space? | 04:10 |
| kdubois | Kowen: not normal | 04:10 |
| Kowen | i have the modem connected... | 04:11 |
| Kowen | and all | 04:11 |
| whonicca | any reason why a freshly formatted and partitoned ext3 drive thats 500 gigs would only show 435 free? | 04:11 |
| shazow_ | whonicca: compare it to `df` | 04:11 |
| Alex_Gaynor | mttr: Thanks, hopefully there will be a mind bogglingly easy solution :P | 04:11 |
| spider_ | why you are'nt use linux? | 04:11 |
| hxu | shadow_: the gentoo wiki does not work for me... | 04:11 |
| astro76 | spider_: do you have an Ubuntu support question? | 04:11 |
| hxu | shadow_: is there a ubuntu wiki about nx6325? | 04:11 |
| Kowen | but when itry to go to places net or something like that it doesnot admit that i change any configuration | 04:11 |
| mascaria | is there anyone available to help me with my DVD player? I've followed all the documentations on the Ubuntu site and also installed mediabunto but when i try to add the GPG key i get an error in terminal saying gpg: can't open `': No such file or directory | 04:11 |
| bastid_raZor | whonicca:: my 320G drive only shows 290G but that is common for manufactures to lie about how big the drive really is | 04:11 |
| TheOnly1MadHatte | hey anybody here use openoffice impress for slideshows | 04:11 |
| Cpudan80 | How do you transfer an entire directory via SFTP? | 04:11 |
| shazow_ | hxu: i don't know, can you find one? | 04:11 |
| whonicca | bastid_raZor, yeah but the drive is actually 455 gigs | 04:12 |
| whonicca | not 435 | 04:12 |
| preaction | whonicca, multiple reasons: file system overhead, the fact that the manufacturer reports size in 1000byte kB whereas everywhere else uses 1024byte KB | 04:12 |
| darin_ | i donno what i did but i can't use any sudo commands on my ubuntu 7.10 server and i dont have any other suers added that have sudo permissions. it says that my uder is not in the sudoers file. any suggestions? | 04:12 |
| whonicca | shazow_, any way to have df report in gigs? | 04:12 |
| preaction | whonicca, df -H | 04:12 |
| Flannel | darin_: do you see "admin" when you type "groups"? | 04:12 |
| shazow_ | whonicca: df -h, also have a look at http://www.google.ca/search?q=500000000000+bytes+in+gigabytes | 04:13 |
| stelt | If i install ubuntu can i later put XP and/or Vista besides it ? | 04:13 |
| TheOnly1MadHatte | anybdoy use openoffice impress i cant figure out how to get the videos that i put in the slides to play full screen when i use the slideshow they just play in a teeny box | 04:13 |
| whonicca | does ext3 take any space? | 04:13 |
| john47 | Hi all - when I boot up, GRUB gives me this error: "GRUB Loading stage1.5. GRUB loading, please wait...Error 15". Any advice on how to fix? | 04:13 |
| whonicca | notice after a fresh format that 7.5 gigs are used | 04:14 |
| preaction | stelt, yes, but you'll need to re-install GRUB afterward. best to install windows first, then ubuntu after. also windows used to need to be installed on the first partition on a drive | 04:14 |
| shazow_ | whonicca: yes it will take up space to keep track of the file allocation tree | 04:14 |
| darin_ | Flannel: i dont anymore, it just says darin ftp | 04:14 |
| astro76 | whonicca: yes it is a journaling file system, so there is also the journal | 04:14 |
| Flannel | darin_: ah. You were tryng to add yourself to the ftp group? | 04:14 |
| whonicca | then that might answer the lost space | 04:14 |
| darin_ | Flannel: yes i was | 04:15 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: Thanx for your time you've taught me a great deal thanx.8-) | 04:15 |
| hxu | shazow_: The Ubuntu wiki about nx6325 I found said that with restricted driver manager everything is ok... | 04:15 |
| mttr | john47 are u using sata drive or ide | 04:15 |
| nickrud | ironfoot_495: all good now? | 04:15 |
| whonicca | last question, any way to schedule a shutdown? | 04:15 |
| john47 | mttr: ide | 04:15 |
| stelt | preaction, i haven't bought Windows yet, so i want to do Ubuntu first, is that a big problem ? | 04:15 |
| astro76 | whonicca: shutdown -h <timespec> | 04:15 |
| Flannel | darin_: you used usermod, with -G. What you forgot to do was use -a as well, which appends the groups instead of sets. | 04:15 |
| shazow_ | whonicca: for one time, or on a regular basis? | 04:15 |
| mttr | new mother board | 04:15 |
| whonicca | one time | 04:15 |
| preaction | stelt, no. but you will have to reinstall grub. | 04:15 |
| whonicca | like 2 am | 04:15 |
| preaction | !grub | stelt | 04:15 |
| shazow_ | whonicca: sudo su before you do what astro76 said | 04:15 |
| ubotu | stelt: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 04:15 |
| john47 | mttr: I am now in Ubuntu 7.1 from the Live CD | 04:15 |
| shazow_ | whonicca: you also might like the `at` package, very handy for scheduling one-time tasks at specific times | 04:16 |
| astro76 | whonicca: +minutes or hh:mm | 04:16 |
| preaction | stelt, you will lose grub after installing windows, so use the link above to fix it | 04:16 |
| darin_ | Flannel: yeah but now is there a way to fix this without having to reinstall the server? | 04:16 |
| mttr | john47 could be u have a problem with the bios changing the boot sequence | 04:16 |
| whonicca | astro76, thats 24 hour format? | 04:16 |
| Flannel | darin_: you'll need to reboot into the recovery console. That'll give you a root prompt. From there, you can re-set your groups. By default, they are: adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner admin | 04:16 |
| mttr | so grub doesn't see it | 04:16 |
| astro76 | whonicca: no sudo su... sudo shutdown -h 02:00 | 04:16 |
| whonicca | astro76, thankyou | 04:17 |
| TheOnly1MadHatte | anybody | 04:17 |
| john47 | mttr: I arranged the boot sequence to go to the CDrom first to boot from the Live CD, and that works ok. I think I need to repair GRUB, but not sure how. | 04:17 |
| darin_ | Flannel: ok sweet thanx for the help | 04:17 |
| whonicca | shazow_, will check out that package thankyou for your help | 04:17 |
| astro76 | whonicca: yeah it should be 24hr | 04:17 |
| mttr | john47 also on my system i can't use root (hd3,) in grub | 04:17 |
| Junkee | anyone know how to get the userlist on the right hand side in xchat? | 04:17 |
| jords | My /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc file is screwed, and i want to replace it with a vanilla copy of the file. apt-file tells me that it is part of the kdm package: kdm: etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc. However, i have just moved the kdmrc file to kdmrc_old, reinstalled kdm with aptitude, and yet it has not unpacked a new, unedited kdmrc. What's happening here? | 04:18 |
| astro76 | Junkee: drag it open from the right edge of window | 04:18 |
| bastid_raZor | Junkee:: mine is there by default | 04:18 |
| mttr | john47 if you go to the menu.1st on the drive and take a look | 04:18 |
| jords | Should'nt it see that one of the packages files are missing and install it? | 04:18 |
| darin_ | Flannel: just to make sure i understand, should i type darin -a -g or just use the -a? | 04:18 |
| shazow_ | jords: try doing a complete removal and then installing.. | 04:18 |
| john47 | mttr: Here's a bit more info - I thought my first install of Gutsy was flawed, so I tried to reinstall from the Live CD. It crapped out halfway through and gave me a window that said: "The installer encountered an error copying files to the hard disk: [Errno 30] Read-only file system" Any thoughts? | 04:18 |
| shazow_ | jords: or just get a fresh copy of it from somewhere else | 04:19 |
| Flannel | darin_: -g isn't right. -G is. usermod -G group1,group2,group3 -a username | 04:19 |
| mttr | how many memory module do you have | 04:19 |
| jords | shazow_: That will remove kubuntu_desktop as well.. which will create hassles. Where could i get a fresh copy? unpack the .deb manually? | 04:19 |
| darin_ | thanx againFlannel: yeah sorry i ment G | 04:19 |
| shazow_ | jords: that might do it, or have a look at the ubuntu forums, i'm sure there's plenty of people who pasted it in search for help | 04:20 |
| john47 | mttr: 2x512 MB for a total of 1024 MB | 04:20 |
| astro76 | jords: removing the (k)ubuntu-desktop packages shouldn't cause an issue, it won't remove anything else, and you can reinstall the meta-package later | 04:20 |
| john47 | mttr: Oh was that for me? sorry | 04:20 |
| foug | Is there a terminal that lets me customize the colour of certain things? Like the user and host name, certain commands etc? | 04:20 |
| mttr | john47 very possible you have a bad memory module | 04:20 |
| whonicca | astro76, anyway to cancel a scheduled shutdown? or even list schedules | 04:20 |
| shazow_ | jords: here's mine: http://pastebin.com/d3d0e4714 | 04:21 |
| mttr | john47 very common problem and sometime only shows when installing | 04:21 |
| astro76 | foug: for the user and host name.. google for "bash prompt howto" | 04:21 |
| mttr | john47 i have see this 2 or 3 time already | 04:21 |
| Dingbat | Could someone explain to me -- why is it that if you so much sneeze at your computer running UBUNTU, java stops working correctly. | 04:21 |
| TheOnly1MadHatte | madhatt | 04:21 |
| astro76 | whonicca: check out man shutdown ;) | 04:21 |
| mttr | the memory test linux has doesn't always detect this type of error | 04:21 |
| jords | Dingbat: Java is crap. | 04:22 |
| foug | astro76: no easy way eh? Doesn't seem TOO hard, thanks for the info | 04:22 |
| shazow_ | or ubuntu is.. one of the two :P | 04:22 |
| john47 | mttr: So, you don't think the hard disk is faulty? It seems like it's not able to read grub when I bootup...it did once or twice after the first install, and now I can't even get into Windows anymore on the first partition | 04:22 |
| mttr | john47 i wish we had a better memory tester to check before doing an install | 04:22 |
| mttr | john47 i suspect the memory first | 04:23 |
| john47 | mttr: wheres the memory tester? Can I run it from the live cd? | 04:23 |
| Dingbat | I love Ubuntu, I swear I do -- but having Java getting borked every time you upgrade or apply patches or whatnot is really getting on my nerves. | 04:23 |
| mttr | john47 there is one on the live cd.. other wise pull one module out and then try it,, and do the other | 04:23 |
| mttr | john47 the best memory tester is one that does jump test function | 04:24 |
| mttr | john47 u see this in comerial system tester | 04:24 |
| nickrud | Dingbat: how did you install java? | 04:25 |
| john47 | mttr: ok, sounds good. where might I find it on the live cd? Or can I run it from the terminal? | 04:25 |
| nickrud | Dingbat: leading question. If you installed it using apt, sun-java6-sun , you don't have to worry about all the upgrade/patch stuff | 04:26 |
| mttr | john47 i think when you boot in live cd there is an option | 04:26 |
| nickrud | Dingbat: erm, sun-java6-jre/jdk that is | 04:26 |
| mikebot | Does anyone know why my zsnes wouldn't open? It does sometimes, but other times the screen turns black and then my desktop comes back. | 04:26 |
| RAHB | hey, can someone here help with my graphics card? It's a Radeon 2400 HD pro, and I have all the drivers installed, it's currently running on the latest fglrx driver. However, if I turn on Compiz I just get a white screen, and if I try to play video, it crashes. Any help? | 04:27 |
| mttr | john47 that tester may not give u a complete picture.. if in doubt pull one memory out and test it that way.. | 04:27 |
| john47 | mttr: ok, thanks. its a laptop, so that may be easier said than done, but I can give it a whirl. | 04:28 |
| mttr | good luck.. i use quict tech program and have found on 3 occasion bad memory that other program reported ok.. so memory is key to a clean install | 04:29 |
| mttr | john47 windows xp even installed ok but would crash on occation, Ubuntu would not installed untill i fix the memory probblem | 04:30 |
| john47 | mttr: ok, cool, many thanks. I have been at my wits end all weekend with a computer that used to have 2 operating systems, and now it has none. | 04:30 |
| john47 | mttr: I'm running Windows 2000 SP4 on the other partition - livin in the past! | 04:31 |
| mikebot | Does anyone know why my zsnes wouldn't open? It does sometimes, but other times the screen turns black and then my desktop comes back. | 04:32 |
| john47 | mttr: it's actually my work computer, and the IT guys refuse to update the OS to XP, so I thought I would jump ahead of them and install Ubuntu an have the last laugh....well, they may have the last laugh on me. | 04:32 |
| stelt | installer crashes :-( | 04:32 |
| stelt | john47, use a liveCD | 04:33 |
| mttr | john47 well i just installed window xp on my son system this weeken,, He is a gamer ( will dual boot later) and tested the memory before install and one was showing jump errors | 04:33 |
| john47 | stelt: I'm running the memory test on the live CD as I type - No errors yet, but not sure what that means. | 04:34 |
| alecwh | how do I get a UNIX timestamp (ex. 23429123) in the terminal? | 04:34 |
| mttr | john47 after reseating the memory the test was ok,, and xp installed.. i now do a jump test before any new installation | 04:34 |
| BHSPitMonkey | Anyone familiar with methods of installing without an optical drive? I could use some advice. | 04:34 |
| RAHB | Can anyone help with my graphics card? It's a Radeon 2400 HD pro, and I have all the drivers installed, it's currently running on the latest fglrx driver. However, if I turn on Compiz I just get a white screen, and if I try to play video, it crashes. Any help? | 04:35 |
| mttr | john47 save me a lot of grief | 04:35 |
| john47 | mttr: Thanks for the tip - I hadn't thought it was the memory since all signs pointed to a faulty hard drive or something else. | 04:35 |
| DarthBuh | Hullo all | 04:35 |
| john47 | mttr: I kept getting screens about a "PCI bridge" or something that wasn't working before I got some other colorful errors upon bootup | 04:36 |
| john47 | mttr: How long should I run the memtest do you think? My chipset says Intel i915PM/GM (ECC: Disabled). Any idea what that means? | 04:37 |
| john47 | mttr: come to think of it, could Windows 2000 run successfully with a memory problem? I hope this isn't the case. | 04:38 |
| ironfoot_495 | nickrud: You're still the MAN!!! Thanx a bunch:-D | 04:38 |
| Cpudan80 | john47: Yes, it can | 04:39 |
| Cpudan80 | john47: It might not ever exercise the memory that has the problem | 04:39 |
| Cpudan80 | Ask ##windows for more info | 04:39 |
| mttr | john47 it may be you have to re-seat the memory , you don't have hd fault.. but you will have to confirm each part.. hopefull you can get to work | 04:39 |
| mike2 | w | 04:39 |
| alecwh | How do I get a UNIX timestamp (since 1970) in the terminal? | 04:39 |
| mttr | john47 yes it could depending on what area of memory is bad.. on bit is all it takes.. when installing it seams to taxes the system much more than normal operatons. | 04:40 |
| Niriven | alecwh: try using the date command, you can man date for some help | 04:40 |
| john47 | mttr, Cpudan80: thanks for the hints...I appreciate your help and I hope I can get this settled. It's hard to believe that the memory can not only disrupt installs but cause me to lose the ability to access my windows OS as well (get only a non-system disk error on booting up the HD...bad Grub install maybe) | 04:41 |
| mttr | john47 i was using live cd with the bad memory and it would work.. weird,, but how knows,, so now it one of my first test | 04:41 |
| mike2 | I don't think date can show a time_t. | 04:42 |
| Cpudan80 | john47: You could try restoring your Windows MBR | 04:42 |
| Cpudan80 | Just to see if windows will boot | 04:42 |
| mike2 | date +%s might work | 04:42 |
| john47 | Cpudan80: Yes, I would really like to do that just to make sure everything is still there. How can I restore the Windows MBR? | 04:42 |
| chrisslamar | \join #linux | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | john47: Join ##windows | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | john47: Don't wanna clutter up #ubuntu with the steps | 04:43 |
| evil_tech | John47: by booting your XP disc and running recovery console | 04:43 |
| Niriven | john47: Restorign the windows mbr is easy, use the windows install cd, go into recovery mode, and type fixmbr | 04:43 |
| lemontea | i can't run ktorrent | 04:43 |
| lemontea | i unable to see it or open | 04:43 |
| Cpudan80 | john47: what evil_tech is basically correct, run fixboot c: after fixmbr | 04:44 |
| mttr | I have my GOD disk to do all those need things that xp messes up | 04:44 |
| DarthBuh | Does anyone have experience with RAID0 FakeRAID configs? | 04:44 |
| * stelt drove 400km to get a non-Windows machine and now ubuntu won't install (though the liveCD works) | 04:45 | |
| john47 | ok, great - so the Windows 2000 install disks will allow me to run Windows in recovery mode, yes? | 04:45 |
| * nickrud feels stelt's pain | 04:45 | |
| mttr | yes | 04:46 |

| evil_tech | John47: yes | 04:46 |
| nickrud | stelt: or run the disk check on the startup screen? | 04:46 |
| evil_tech | John47: boot the disc and press R at the first screen | 04:46 |

| john47 | Just for the record, I'm running Gutsy on my home computer, which is new, and it rocks, big time. So, I know there must be something up with this laptop. Thanks again. | 04:48 |
| stelt | nickrud, that's for machines with low memory. I have the 32-bit architecture maximum | 04:48 |

| erawfish | stelt: it's not | 04:49 |

| newbiee | erawfish: andactually how do i checkthe config? i'm using it in my college... | 05:22 |
| erawfish | oc80z: not really, but you can use acpi=off as a kernel parameter | 05:22 |
| nickrud | lol lgc you knew that was coming | 05:22 |
| roshan | nickrud, didnt get u? using static IP, if that is what you meant | 05:22 |
| changelog | taan: because the "others" permissions are void, so no one other than root or someone on the root group can CD into that folder | 05:22 |
| nickrud | roshan: what kind of modem? | 05:22 |
| roshan | changelog, thanks.. wil check it out | 05:22 |

| roshan | erawfish, thanks. wil check it out. | 05:23 |

| erawfish | roshan: do you use pppoe? | 05:23 |
| erawfish | nickrud: not really | 05:23 |

| nickrud | erawfish: he said he has a static connection, not a pppoeconf created one | 05:24 |
| taan | changelog, but does not second triplet of "drwxrwx---" lets users in "users" group enter the "fld"? | 05:24 |

| lgc | OK, here I go...(let's see what kind of bigotry I run into this time). How can I run a Java application with the Sun Java instead of the GNU Java? (I just downloaded an app and it seems the errors it gives are related to it being run with the GNU version). | 05:26 |
| danielski_pl | one more question, how do i get root privs in gdm | 05:26 |

| nickrud | oc80z: not easily, you'd have to upgrade to edgy then feisty then gutsy (7.10) | 05:28 |
| oc80z | ok ill find feisty then.. | 05:28 |
| nickrud | oc80z: with possible problems at each stage | 05:28 |

| DarthBuh | Back yet again | 05:29 |
| oc80z | so what do you recomend nickrud..? | 05:29 |
| nickrud | danielski_pl: you need to use sudo to get the privs | 05:29 |
| oc80z | just getting fiesty? | 05:29 |
| stelt | cfdesk doesn't work either :-( | 05:29 |
| lgc | nickrud, thanks. It didn't work though. I chose Java6, to no avail. | 05:29 |
| nickrud | oc80z: you having problems with gutsy? You could try that | 05:29 |
| oc80z | Yeah 7.10 | 05:29 |
| nickrud | lgc: java -version says sun? | 05:29 |
| danielski_pl | how do i use sudo in gnome.... i know how to in terminal, is there a way to login in with root? | 05:29 |
| oc80z | i am getting dumped to a BusyBox shell... an ash shell.. | 05:29 |
| oc80z | daniel you can start X as root? | 05:30 |
| nickrud | danielski_pl: what exactly are you trying to do? Normally you would define mount points for a disk and they would simply be mounted during startup | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | !sudo | 05:30 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 05:30 |

| changelog | Other than that, it's always above 60 | 05:32 |
| oc80z | whats going on? | 05:32 |
| nickrud | danielski_pl: I think you need to rethink what you are trying to accomplish, if you think you have to log into X as root to do it you're going at it the wrong way | 05:32 |

I've set this: "fld" with permissions: "drwxrwx--- root users". But now i cannot "cd" into it even though i belong to "users" group. any hint what's wrong? | 05:33 |
| darkblue_B | simple Q about writing to a 2nd partition on a drive - do I chnage the perms at /media/sda3? or another place? I changed them just now, and it shows up with a green block around it in the terminal now | 05:33 |

| taan | nikrud, i should have to reboot (it's not like windows :) | 05:35 |
| nickrud | taan: no, just log out. That's a limitation of groups in *nix | 05:35 |

| widarto | i have problem install ubuntu 7.10 after vista, i installed ub 7,10 in external usb harddisk..., grub already installed, but still can't dual boot. every booting, will direct to vista | 05:39 |
| widarto | how to solve ??? | 05:39 |
| oc80z | Hmm | 05:39 |
| lgc | nickrud, (but maybe Opera will at last work with Java). | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | widarto, ive heard of a lot of issues with booting external usb drives. There was some web site that had some tutorals on it. | 05:39 |
| nickrud | adub: add a # to the beginning of line 5 (line 4 in the file) and sudo dpkg -r --force-remove-reinstreq wine | 05:40 |
| evil_tech | havers:http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting | 05:40 |
| oc80z | widarto put the ub 7,10 CD into the computer then boot purhaps. | 05:40 |
| widarto | i saw some tutorial..but all can;t work | 05:40 |
| adub | what does apt-get clean do | 05:40 |
| crazyman | guys , would you know why i cant create a folder using backtrack from a cd? | 05:40 |
| nickrud | lgc: do you have sun-java6-plugin installed? | 05:40 |
| widarto | no problem if booting from CD... | 05:40 |
| muthah | How can instal Gutsy Gibbon to an external USB Harddisk | 05:40 |
| spdf | widarto, what happens if you set the usb disk to boot before the hard drive (in your bios) | 05:40 |
| oc80z | adub i think it will clear the files downloaded when installing | 05:40 |
| lgc | nickrud, lemme check. | 05:40 |
| nickrud | adub: it removes deb files that you've downloaded from /var/cache/apt/archives | 05:40 |
| widarto | spdf : i already set the bios, boot from usb | 05:41 |
| muthah | widarto, what problem do you have with the external USB hard drive | 05:41 |
| taan | nickrud, yeah logout (kill X) and relogin works -- still bummed this is not really visible in docs | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ | 05:42 |
| spdf | widarto, is there any idication that GRUB is booting vista? | 05:42 |
| lgc | nickrud, I do. | 05:42 |
| widarto | I already using some tools, such as syslinux, neo smart grub, etc...but all can;t work | 05:42 |
| DarthBuh | Okay, question | 05:42 |
| widarto | spdf : grub install on hd1 ( external hard disk ) | 05:42 |
| DarthBuh | I just used FDisk to create 2 partitions in DMraid | 05:42 |
| nickrud | taan: it's obscurely documented in some docs about groups, but obscurely is the operative word here. No one likes to mention that | 05:42 |
| danielski_pl | why does noone want to tell me how i can get root in gnome/x | 05:42 |
| Jangari | danielski_pl: how to log in as root? | 05:43 |
| muthah | doe grub give you any errors widarto | 05:43 |
| muthah | does grub give you any errors widarto | 05:43 |
| muthah | error 18 | 05:43 |
| muthah | error 21 | 05:43 |
| DarthBuh | The first showed up as sil_aiabbjceffca1, the 2nd was 2 | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | danielski_pl, directing logging in as root is disabled. if you need to do root things use the terminal with the proper sudo command. | 05:43 |
| lgc | danielski_pl, this is a 'sudo' place...:). | 05:43 |
| eric | !flash | 05:43 |
| 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 | 05:43 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 05:43 |
| DarthBuh | but when I mkfs, they're not showing up | 05:43 |
| oc80z | oooh yeah | 05:43 |
| widarto | spdf : i had try to install grub on hd0, after that, vista boot problem, only can boot to Ub 7.10 | 05:43 |
| adub | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51870/ <--- nickrud you think it worked?? | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | use gksudo GNOMEAPP to run the app as a the root user. | 05:44 |
| oc80z | why would i install this OS when i cant use Flash or DIVX or XVID or MPEG4 | 05:44 |
| nickrud | adub: yup | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | oc80z, odd.. I use all of those.. | 05:44 |
| oc80z | duhhh | 05:44 |
| widarto | muthah : error 21, but i have fix | 05:44 |
| oc80z | really. | 05:44 |
| nickrud | adub: run apt-get -f install to test | 05:44 |
| adub | yeah apt-get seems to be working fine what exactly happened there though | 05:44 |
| lgc | danielski_pl, 'gksudo /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator' will give you a root terminal, if it's what you want. | 05:44 |
| adub | yeah i did apt-get install and it acted normal | 05:44 |
| adub | what happened to make it mess up like that | 05:44 |
| adub | and how did you know the fix | 05:44 |
| taan | nickrud, yeah, good pun, thanks for info | 05:44 |
| DarthBuh | and now the partitions are gone | 05:44 |
| danielski_pl | lgc i want root in x | 05:44 |
| spdf | widarto, You'd need to make sure that there was an option to boot vista as well, and perhaps increase the amount of time until it auto boots so you have time to hit ESC and selcet which one | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | oc80z, yes. divx and xvid work fine. technically mpeg4 and divx are the same i belive. | 05:45 |
| Jangari | danielski_pl: that's dangerous | 05:45 |
| Jangari | which is why it's disabled by default | 05:45 |
| darkblue_B | the green background around the name of /media/sda3 in the terminal just means exec is set.. I set chmod on /meda/sda3.. trying to write now | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | danielski_pl, then you need to kill the gdm service. to to a terminal. login as a user, then sudo to root. and run startx | 05:45 |
| osiri1 | would anyone mind helpin me with xserver? | 05:45 |
| danielski_pl | so much like accessing Administrator in windows Safe -Mode? | 05:45 |
| spdf | There's a GDM option to allow root login | 05:45 |
| Jangari | what's gdm service? | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | danielski_pl, one misstake as root.. can trash the system. | 05:45 |
| widarto | spdf : if i installed on hd0, vista can;t boot, error msg : insert system disk | 05:45 |
| lgc | danielski_pl, login as root? | 05:45 |
| Jangari | gnome desktop management? | 05:45 |
| nickrud | adub: the update-mime problem was holding back all the operations. The force-remove-reinstreq bypasses a bunch of stuff that dpkg does, which bypassed the other errors you had | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | gdm - is the gnome Login screen/manager | 05:45 |
| Dr_willis | kde uses kdm. | 05:46 |
| crazyman | would you guys know how to allow modification access to the harddrives ( like delete files etc ) using backtack? | 05:46 |
| DarthBuh | Is there a better GUI based partitioner than FDisk? | 05:46 |
| osiri1 | i'm tryin to reconfigure xserver on my hp, and whenever it gets to the 24 bit color, etc. it stops | 05:46 |
| nickrud | adub: I should have said at the beginning that I was gonna try just about anything before editing that file :) | 05:46 |

| adub | oh to learn if there was another fix | 05:46 |

| nickrud | adub: since the first release | 05:47 |
| nickrud | lgc: eclipse, that's the only java app I run | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | danielski_pl, you can alter the gdm configs to allow a root user to login.. but since root has no password.. you would need to enable one. | 05:48 |

| Viking667 | adub: what version of word? I got word97 working except for the help files with just plain wine, though this is on a Mandriva system. | 05:56 |
| erawfish | krame1: "intel" or "i810" | 05:56 |
| ouellettesr | how old is the motherboard? | 05:56 |
| Viking667 | bah. crap. | 05:56 |
| krame1 | intel...i'm gonna run msconfig to find out | 05:56 |
| DarthBuh | Why does Gparted close every time you use it? | 05:57 |
| krame1 | i know it is the intel x3100 IGP, other than that, not sure | 05:57 |
| adub | oh id probably rather have word 2000 and i know i can get that working | 05:57 |
| ouellettesr | or open the case and get the model number off the motherboard :) | 05:57 |

| Viking667 | adub: heh. 's that right? | 05:58 |
| nickrud | krame1: the regular intel video driver should work with the x3100 | 05:58 |
| krame1 | and that one is...? | 05:58 |
| krame1 | cause the autodetect does not find it | 05:58 |
| DropKickMurpheys | ofmg | 05:58 |
| adub | one a file.sh how would i remove the install fo that program | 05:58 |
| DropKickMurpheys | omfg, i hate windows... my windows boot is ate up by trojans and viruses | 05:59 |
| adub | i know to instlal is ./file.sh im a bit rusty on things | 05:59 |
| erawfish | adub: there is on stnadardized uninstall for things installed with that. why do you install stuff from outside ubuntu repos? | 05:59 |
| jetscreamer | you can sh blah.sh or ./blah.sh | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | a ./file.sh kind of installer.. could do anything.. i doubt if theres a simple way to uninstall it.. Unless whoever wrote the installer included an uninstaller | 05:59 |
| jimmygoon | Who wants to see my favorite bug!! | 06:00 |
| jetscreamer | it's executable, but not in the path | 06:00 |
| jetscreamer | hence you use ./ | 06:00 |
| jimmygoon | This is what GDM does to me. http://i5.tinypic.com/8er5a4l.png for everywhere any text is displayed, its ginormus | 06:00 |
| Viking667 | hm. | 06:00 |
| adub | so to uninstall you type the same command | 06:00 |
| krame1 | ouellettesr: I'm quoting my laptop here, from dxdiag...Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express chipset family | 06:00 |
| adub | that seems to just want to reinstall | 06:00 |
| adub | or the file was not meant to be a setup | 06:00 |
| manduski | hey guys, I'm using TwinView for dual monitors, and it seems like the second monitor has a "defective" window border. It doesn't have the usual Close, minimize etc buttons to the far left of the windows. It doesn't even look how it's supposed to be (theme) and you can't really select it? Help! | 06:01 |
| nickrud | Vibys: that looks like it's dynamically generated. I hadn't seen it before, but I see a blkid.old that reflects what I had before I did some repartitioning | 06:01 |
| Starnestommy | jimmygoon: looks like a font size problem | 06:01 |
| Meshezabeel | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4049465 | 06:01 |
| jimmygoon | Starnestommy, heh, yeah, how would I fix that :P | 06:01 |
| DarthBuh | omfg | 06:01 |
| Meshezabeel | think I should report this as a bug? | 06:01 |
| ouellettesr | umm you should just be able to use the regular intel video driver | 06:01 |
| DarthBuh | DMraid and GParted are at absolute war | 06:02 |
| krame1 | and that one is? the i810? | 06:02 |
| ouellettesr | krame1 | 06:02 |
| doseryder | DarthBuh: i think i told you that in the very beginning | 06:02 |
| erawfish | krame1: didn't I already tell you? | 06:02 |
| nickrud | Meshezabeel: take a look, it probably is. So many others seeing means it really is one | 06:02 |
| Starnestommy | jimmygoon: sudo killall gdm then sudo xinit gnome-session? | 06:02 |
| ouellettesr | krame1, the one that installs when you install ubuntu | 06:02 |
| DarthBuh | <thumping head on desk> | 06:02 |
| manduski | hey guys, I'm using TwinView for dual monitors, and it seems like the second monitor has a "defective" window border. It doesn't have the usual Close, minimize etc buttons to the far left of the windows. It doesn't even look how it's supposed to be (theme) and you can't really select it to move around. Please, help! | 06:02 |
| DarthBuh | It's been like this for 2 days | 06:02 |
| mj | hi everyone, i have a problem with the Desktop effects features, the cube works only on the first time i start the effects..can anyone help?\ | 06:03 |
| * RamY :) | 06:03 | |
| DarthBuh | FDisk isn't working right either | 06:03 |
| krame1 | i have the tty error, so i'm redoing it | 06:03 |
| jimmygoon | Starnestommy, er, I have lots of stuff open now, later, should I drop to another tty and do that... and will that diagnose or fix the problem (temporarily?) | 06:03 |
| Starnestommy | jimmygoon: that would let you change system font settings, I think | 06:03 |
| jimmygoon | Starnestommy, er, the system font is fine, like the xchat I'm in right now etc | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, try holding down the alt-key and clicking for force a move. You are saying on a Non mazamized window - theres no border/widgets at all on the 2nd monitor only? | 06:04 |
| doseryder | DarthBuh: you're prolly getting a ioctl error when you create the filesytem | 06:04 |
| ouellettesr | what were you doing that it gave you an error krame1? | 06:04 |
| jimmygoon | Starnestommy, it only has problems with oo.o some times where it does that, and ALWAYS in gdm | 06:04 |
| jimmygoon | :/ | 06:04 |
| DarthBuh | What is an ioctl | 06:04 |
| doseryder | DarthBuh, yes/no? | 06:04 |
| DarthBuh | I've been using linux for 12 hours | 06:04 |
| Starnestommy | jimmygoon: I'm not sure what's causing it | 06:04 |
| jimmygoon | Starnestommy, ok, well thanks for your help | 06:05 |
| krame1 | trying to start it to install, it gives me the /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off | 06:05 |
| Viking667 | DarthBuh: it's a contraction: input-output control. | 06:05 |
| ouellettesr | DarthBuh: input output control | 06:05 |
| Viking667 | basically a kernel tweak of internal variables | 06:05 |
| ouellettesr | lol | 06:05 |
| ouellettesr | :) | 06:05 |
| Meshezabeel | nickrud, it looks like there are no bug reports filed for it | 06:05 |
| Viking667 | or device access | 06:05 |
| doseryder | Guys, he's only been using linux for 12 hours | 06:05 |
| nickrud | Meshezabeel: enjoy, you'll get some karma :) | 06:05 |
| doseryder | i doubt he'll know what that means | 06:05 |
| Meshezabeel | haha :) | 06:06 |
| Viking667 | ahh. If he doesn't learn now, he'll take a while. | 06:06 |
| krame1 | did anything i say make sense? | 06:06 |
| manduski | Dr_willis: holding down the alt key does move it around. And yes, I did say it was on a non-mazimized window. The borders are actualyl non-existing! | 06:06 |
| krame1 | just to make sure | 06:06 |
| DarthBuh | I just tried to re-write the FDisk table | 06:06 |
| Viking667 | and there are plenty of places on line that describe these things. | 06:06 |
| DarthBuh | I got "Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table." | 06:07 |
| manduski | Dr_willis: I just noticed that it has no borders... | 06:07 |
| doseryder | ioctl is part of the user-kernel-interface, but let's not try to shove that down his throat at the moment | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, but only on one of the monitors? Hmm.. I recall when i first enabled twinview. i had to 'restart' th e X server for it to work 100% right. Did you just enable twinview? or has it ever worked? | 06:07 |
| === johanna is now known as Jannita | ||
| doseryder | DarthBuh, I knew it, that's why i asked you if you got an ioctl complain when you try creating the filesystem | 06:07 |
| Hammer89 | can anyone here help me get direct rendering working? | 06:07 |
| manduski | Dr_willis, I just enabled it. I restarted the computer as well and still the same problem | 06:07 |
| DarthBuh | That's the first time I've seen it | 06:08 |
| Viking667 | DarthBuh: getting that message is perfectly normal. | 06:08 |
| DarthBuh | The wiki states to create the FileSystem | 06:08 |
| DarthBuh | But that seems to take a really, really long time | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, Hmm.. so if you drag the window back to monitor #1 does it get borders there? | 06:08 |
| Viking667 | DarthBuh: it'll happen every time you write the partition table to the hard drive | 06:08 |
| krame1 | alright, ouellettesr, i'm at the start to reconfigure xserver | 06:08 |
| krame1 | select i810, like you said | 06:08 |
| manduski | I have them as separate x windows | 06:08 |
| ouellettesr | krame1: so you actually got it installed? | 06:09 |
| DarthBuh | Said something about "Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument." | 06:09 |
| evil_tech | #cisco | 06:09 |
| manduski | Dr_willis, i have them as separate windows. The second one is a bit smaller so when i try to do a joint x i can't see the bottom of screen two. | 06:09 |
| jsmidt | anybody know if network-manager 7.0 will be out before its too late to be included in hardy? | 06:10 |
| DarthBuh | Do I need to reboot at this point? | 06:10 |
| krame1 | no? it was running up, then said xserver failed to start, etc. xserver is disable, and presented me with that weird prompt type thing, so i typed in the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, if You mean seperate X sessions.. It may be you need to spawn a window manager on the 2nd X session also. | 06:10 |
| doseryder | DarthBuh: you almost never need to reboot in linux | 06:10 |
| nickrud | jsmidt: someone on #ubuntu+1 might know | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, i just normally share mine side by side and drag windows around as if its one large wide monitor. | 06:10 |
| jsmidt | nickrud, thanks | 06:10 |
| DarthBuh | It's showing the partitions as raid arrays with different names.. how do I determine what hose are? | 06:10 |
| ouellettesr | krame1: your running the live cd, anything you reconfigure at this point won't matter after you reboot | 06:11 |
| krame1 | i noticed | 06:11 |
| DarthBuh | Good point | 06:11 |
| newbiee | how to open user and group from terminal | 06:11 |
| krame1 | but i'm trying to get it installed...or is it? | 06:11 |
| telee | so if im running mythbuntu, and have installed enlightenment... how do i start usuing it? | 06:11 |
| manduski | Dr_willis, I wanted to do that as well, but since the second monitor is smaller, part of maximized windows are out of sight to the bottom. | 06:11 |
| mattholimeau | is there any way to make nautilus open, say, gedit within a pane? | 06:12 |
| nickrud | newbiee: gksudo users-admin | 06:12 |
| spider_ | you can fly in the linux | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, thats fixable. :) i dont have that issue. | 06:12 |
| ouellettesr | krame1: when you put in the live cd, it loads the ubuntu desktop, which can make some people think its already installed, but you have to click the install icon from there, if you put in the cd and it doesn't go to the desktop cause of some error, reboot, and start in safe graphics mode | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, i move a window to monitor #2 and maxamize it.. then it max's to just monitor #2. | 06:13 |
| prestone | hello | 06:13 |
| krame1 | it didnt even load the desktop | 06:13 |
| telee | anyone ^^ | 06:13 |
| ouellettesr | right | 06:13 |
| ouellettesr | so reboot, start install in safe graphics mode | 06:13 |
| ouellettesr | try that | 06:13 |
| krame1 | alright, and if i get the tty? | 06:13 |
| ouellettesr | shouldn't | 06:14 |
| prestone | alguem fala portugues aqui | 06:14 |
| krame1 | mmkay | 06:14 |
| ouellettesr | it should start the installer | 06:14 |
| krame1 | thanks a ton for all this man | 06:14 |
| ouellettesr | krame1 have you ever installed windows? | 06:14 |
| ouellettesr | its basically the same as | 06:14 |
| ouellettesr | np, that's what were in here for | 06:14 |
| ouellettesr | sometimes you just have to wait a while | 06:14 |
| manduski | Dr_willis, yes, but there is still space on the bottom of screen two that i can't see | 06:14 |
| krame1 | nope, dad does it, or it's already done. i'm not supposed to touch the computers, despite knowing a bit about them, i normally just program | 06:14 |
| prestone | hey man do speack portuguese | 06:15 |
| krame1 | he knows i want to learn | 06:15 |
| ouellettesr | you can program and you have never installed an os? | 06:15 |
| prestone | hehehe não sei falar ingles | 06:15 |
| krame1 | just doesnt want me f*in up his pcs | 06:15 |
| ouellettesr | lol | 06:15 |
| telee | how do i change my window manager? | 06:15 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, cant see.. Hmm.. well theres technicially is some 'unreacheble' space. but ive never had an issue with it. | 06:15 |
| telee | from xfce to e17\ | 06:15 |
| ouellettesr | ahh I know of those people | 06:15 |
| krame1 | I'm only 16 still learning man | 06:15 |
| ouellettesr | good | 06:15 |
| ouellettesr | keep learning | 06:16 |
| Darkhack | telle, install e17 from the package manager and then logout. On the login page you'll see a "session" button that you can click to change it. | 06:16 |
| ouellettesr | make me a program one day | 06:16 |
| krame1 | well thanks to you guys, i am | 06:16 |
| ouellettesr | :D | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, i never have apps on screen 2 try to go to that space.. well actually ive had some badly done window managers let apps go there I guess. :) | 06:16 |
| krame1 | crap | 06:16 |
| telee | Darkhack, i did not see that. I am running mythbuntu | 06:16 |
| krame1 | tty thing in safe graphics | 06:16 |
| ouellettesr | just remember to be patient when you come in here and someone will eventually help you | 06:16 |
| krame1 | yeah | 06:16 |
| crazyman | hey guys im booting off the ubuntu cd, looking to install, but i wanted to back up some files from one harddrive to another... is there a way to enable write permissions from the cd? | 06:16 |
| prestone | hello | 06:17 |
| krame1 | so any ideas? this is the 2nd ubuntu cd i've made | 06:17 |
| ouellettesr | did you check for defects>? | 06:17 |
| krame1 | i have | 06:17 |
| bkar | crazyman-> are those partitions mounted? | 06:17 |
| krame1 | and the tty comes up | 06:17 |
| manduski | Dr_willis, and the wallpaper is centered between the two and i can't get it to have the same wallpaper nicely centered on each monitor | 06:17 |
| ouellettesr | hmm | 06:17 |
| crazyman | bkar yes | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, Hmm.. I dont ahve that issue either. | 06:18 |
| krame1 | lemme try again | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, you might want to check and be sure you have xinerama disalbed. and are only using twinview | 06:18 |
| crazyman | i can read them.. just cant write to them? | 06:18 |
| mikubuntu | hola, guys. i forgot how to find program location with the terminal... the program is sumi draw. i tried whereis sumi draw and every variation i could think of but no output, can someone give me a hand? | 06:18 |
| mikubuntu | i want to put it into the menu | 06:18 |
| bkar | crazyman-> okay, do a simple test, copy one file from one drive to the other and see if it works :P | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, good luck. Time for me to hit the bed. | 06:18 |
| manduski | Dr_willis, it's disabled....whatis is anyways? | 06:18 |
| manduski | thnx | 06:18 |
| krame1 | nope, cant check for issues, cause the tty stuff | 06:18 |
| PENNYWISE-CLOWN | hello all | 06:18 |
| manduski | i'll play aroud with it | 06:19 |
| PENNYWISE-CLOWN | will gentoo work in the sewers? | 06:19 |
| crazyman | it says i do not have permission to write to that drive | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | manduski, its a way apps see the larget desktops. twinview replaces/improves it. Check the nvidia docs at theior web site. theres some good info in them | 06:19 |
| ouellettesr | so do you even make it to the check for defects screen? | 06:19 |
| krame1 | nope | 06:19 |
| ouellettesr | hmm | 06:19 |
| bkar | !respond > crazyman | 06:19 |
| ouellettesr | did you burn the disc at slowest speed possible? | 06:19 |
| krame1 | no...guess i should, i burned it at half of what the max is | 06:20 |
| PENNYWISE-CLOWN | oh yes...they float.......they all float........... and when you come down here with me..................YOU FLOAT | 06:20 |
| crazyman | im booting from the cd bkar, i havent installed ubuntu | 06:20 |
| ouellettesr | well at this point I think its narrowed down to either your drive or the disc | 06:20 |
| crazyman | the cd by default does not give me permission to write to windows partitions.. but how can i change that? | 06:20 |
| bkar | crazyman-> are you sure you have these partitions mounted? | 06:20 |
| krame1 | probably the disc? otherwise i gotta buy a new drive, right? | 06:21 |
| crazyman | yea, i mean i dont think i could read the content if they werent mounted | 06:21 |
| bkar | crazyman-> show me your mount commands to mount these partitions you said were mounted | 06:21 |
| ouellettesr | yeah | 06:21 |
| newbiee | nickrud: its not working gksudo users-admin | 06:21 |
| krame1 | i am using a lightscribe disc, if that effects it | 06:21 |
| crazyman | they are automatically mounted... | 06:22 |
| sorush23 | hi | 06:22 |
| sorush23 | why are ops on strike in ubuntu-offtopic | 06:22 |
| bkar | crazyman-> or at least type mount and show me the results (pastebin it) | 06:22 |
| nickrud | newbiee: works here. Are you running this in an X terminal or a console? | 06:22 |
| ouellettesr | I wouldn't think so, you might want to get another opinion before you go out and buy another drive though, there are people in here a lot more skilled than I am :) | 06:22 |
| cleaton | hello, can someone help me forward a port using iptables? | 06:22 |
| Assid | http://willwill100.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Mockup-Hardy-Heron-74511244 <-- nice!! | 06:22 |
| krame1 | I'm gonna try the slow one, go to bed and try it tomorrow | 06:22 |
| krame1 | I'll get back to you then | 06:23 |
| krame1 | thanks alot man | 06:23 |
| crazyman | k bkar one sec | 06:23 |
| kbidd | does anyone see anything wrong with the crontab line "22 1 * * * bash -c /home/keith/alarm/alarm" ? (/home/keith/alarm/alarm runs fine when entered directly into the command line... and yes, it does have a+x permissions set) | 06:23 |
| cleaton | !iptables | 06:23 |
| 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). | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | kbidd: you forgot to specify a user to run as. | 06:23 |
| bkar | kbidd-> full path of commands in cron | 06:23 |
| Viking667 | kbidd: if that's a USER crontab, then check out "man crontab" | 06:23 |
| ouellettesr | anyone know why krame1 can't make it to the start ubuntu installation screen? I can only think it may be a bad disk. im not sure | 06:23 |
| DarthBuh | Okay, help | 06:23 |
| kbidd | Viking667, its in my user's crontab file (crontab -l shows that line) | 06:23 |
| DarthBuh | I have the drive partitioned as I'd like | 06:24 |
| Viking667 | ah. | 06:24 |
| ouellettesr | krame1 no problem good luck | 06:24 |
| DarthBuh | I'm trying to MKFS now, and it says "no such file/directiory" | 06:24 |
| nickrud | ouellettesr: that would be my guess as well | 06:24 |
| krame1 | should i use alternate or desktop? intel core 2 duo 1.5GHz | 06:24 |
| spider_ | kubunru is better than gbutton? | 06:24 |
| spider_ | than gubuntu? | 06:24 |
| Onyx | When I'm returning from a locked screen, I'm greeted by the login dialog which also includes an icon centered at the top of the window. Where does this icon live, so I can change it? | 06:24 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> small caps.. mkfs and its variations | 06:24 |
| nickrud | krame1: be sure to run the md5sum of the iso you downloaded as well | 06:24 |
| === Sheikh_Abdullah_ is now known as Leechzilla | ||
| Viking667 | kbidd: then you need to specify the full path to bash. | 06:24 |
| Beawolfe | Can anyone help me with trying to install NVIDIA drivers (legacy) in Gutsy Gibbon.........everytime I try it says I am running an x server and to stop that first????? | 06:25 |
| Assid | i wannamake my desktop look like this: | 06:25 |
| ouellettesr | krame1, you'll need the desktop cd I believe | 06:25 |
| Assid | http://willwill100.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Mockup-Hardy-Heron-74511244 | 06:25 |
| DarthBuh | The raid was set up under /dev/mapper/#### | 06:25 |
| krame1 | mmkay, have them both just in case | 06:25 |
| kbidd | Viking667, thanks, i'll try that | 06:25 |
| DarthBuh | but the new partitions are showing as /dev/sda1 | 06:25 |
| krame1 | what does the i386 stand for? | 06:25 |
| cableroy | hi, when i upgrade kernel in ubuntu it makes a initrd image with mkinitramfs, but what module files does it generate it with? /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is empty.. | 06:25 |
| spider_ | who use python ? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | krame1: means it runs on 32bit computers | 06:25 |
| doseryder | DarthBuh, first, MKFS, should be mkfs | 06:25 |
| ouellettesr | krame1: run the md5 like nuckrud said to see if it downloaded properly | 06:26 |
| DarthBuh | Yah, I'm using lowercase | 06:26 |
| randomwalker | i did a couple of tweaks to gnome and it takes up a mere 65 megs on startup.. this is amazing | 06:26 |
| Onyx | Beawolfe: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop -- then just run the install script from the client | 06:26 |
| krame1 | ah, okay, and the dao? or whatever method? | 06:26 |
| Onyx | Beawolfe: Then obviously sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to start it back up | 06:26 |
| ouellettesr | dao? | 06:26 |
| nickrud | krame1: burn it as iso. If you see it as one file on the disk in windows, you didn't burn it as a bootable iso | 06:26 |
| Viking667 | disk at once | 06:26 |
| telee | how do i change my sessiosn? | 06:26 |
| krame1 | the write method? raw-dao? | 06:26 |
| === jon_ is now known as kd7swh | ||
| clearzen | telee: what do you mean change sessions? | 06:27 |
| krame1 | i have it saved as a single file iso, just like it came, and I'm using the alcohol 120 burning guide | 06:27 |
| ouellettesr | oh I don't know I just burn it at the slowest speed | 06:27 |
| telee | clearzen, i want to run e17 or fluxbox instead of xfce | 06:27 |
| ouellettesr | make sure your disc in the drive so it knows what the slowest speed is | 06:27 |
| bkar | krame1 burn as an image, | 06:27 |
| nickrud | krame1: bottom line, after you burn it if you see just one file, you're burning it wrong. ifrarecorder (free) makes it easy to burn iso's | 06:28 |
| DarthBuh | I can't tell if it's reading raid or individual drives | 06:28 |
| clearzen | telee: do you already have fluxbox installed? | 06:28 |
| telee | clearzen yeah | 06:28 |
| Viking667 | there's a specific node you're supposed to use for the RAID, isn't there? | 06:28 |
| dka7414 | i added wine but had a problem so i completely deleted it from synaptic and tried to reinstall but when i did i go to wine>cdrive and it wont open | 06:28 |
| oneeyedelf1 | I have an issue glxgears runs at 1.256 fps | 06:28 |
| dka7414 | can anyone help | 06:29 |
| Viking667 | DarthBuh: are you trying to read or writhe the individual drives of the raid? (sda,sdb, etc) | 06:29 |
| clearzen | telee: ctrl+alt backspace then select the window manager from the session tab | 06:29 |
| nickrud | oneeyedelf1: is that . a decimal or thousands separator :) | 06:29 |
| krame1 | okay, so when i browse it after burning, i did it wrong. gotcha | 06:29 |
| krame1 | and md5 checks out right | 06:29 |
| clearzen | telee: it's on the gdm anyway | 06:29 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> dont you have to do some kind of grouping first? and then treat the whole group as one drive? | 06:29 |
| DarthBuh | Okay, I got the names of the partitions in the raid config | 06:29 |
| oneeyedelf1 | nickrud: 1 1/4 fps | 06:29 |
| Viking667 | DarthBuh: because if they're a part of a RAID, then you should be using the RAID device (and I've NO idea what that's called) | 06:29 |
| dka7414 | does anyone know anything about wine | 06:30 |
| DarthBuh | Could not stat /dev/mapper/sil_aiabbjceffca1 --- No such file or directory | 06:30 |
| DarthBuh | The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly | 06:30 |
| nickrud | oneeyedelf1: what video card are you using? if you're not sure, lspci | grep -i vga in a terminal will tell you | 06:30 |
| Viking667 | hm. weird. | 06:30 |
| cableroy | hi, when i upgrade kernel in ubuntu it makes a initrd image with mkinitramfs, but what module files does it generate it with? /etc/initramfs-tools/modules is empty.. | 06:30 |
| krame1 | alright have it on x4, the lowest it goes | 06:30 |
| _xyz | can someone help me figure out why i can't forward a port? My router is USRobotics 8054.here's is screenshot of what i have in my router: http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/7051/59204942po5.jpg . Btw, I'm WinXP right now.. | 06:30 |
| oneeyedelf1 | I have a nvidia card, nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce 7600 GT] | 06:30 |
| Viking667 | Well, I can't help out further, because I've never had raid. | 06:30 |
| Viking667 | Time I went, anyhow | 06:31 |
| krame1 | i'll beill be back tomorrow | 06:31 |
| ouellettesr | _xyz: portforward.com | 06:31 |
| dka7414 | does anyone know anything about wine ive been having problems | 06:31 |
| krame1 | thanks alot guys, its much appreciated | 06:31 |
| _xyz | ouellettesr: i've been there. i followed precise directions | 06:31 |
| ouellettesr | ahh | 06:31 |
| krame1 | goodnight | 06:31 |
| crazyman | bkar how can i mount the drive as root... so i do sudo mount? something | 06:31 |
| phixxor | hey is it possible to convert ogg to mp3 without a loss in quality? | 06:32 |
| dka7414 | ive converted ogg to mp3 and it sounded great | 06:32 |
| bkar | crazyman you have not shown me the result of mount command yet, you claim they are mounted, | 06:32 |
| dka7414 | i used sound juicer | 06:32 |
| crazyman | i just restarted.. so they are not mounted | 06:32 |
| ouellettesr | _xyz: I take it your ip on your pc is 192.168.123.100 | 06:32 |
| crazy2k | Hello. I need to install Ubuntu (not Xubuntu, nor Kubuntu), but I have Xubuntu's Desktop CD. Is it possible to install Ubuntu from there? | 06:32 |
| crazyman | but if i double click them , it will automatically mount | 06:32 |
| phixxor | great -- because I like ogg better for its filesizes, but mp3 is more compatible | 06:33 |
| phixxor | so I could keep my music as ogg | 06:33 |
| oneeyedelf1 | hrm maybe its because I updated Xorg and havent relaunched it | 06:33 |
| crazyman | i cant do pastebin, since i dont have internet on that computer | 06:33 |
| bkar | !respond > crazyman | 06:33 |
| phixxor | and convert to mp3 only when I want to put it on my mp3 player | 06:33 |
| johnnowak | tu | 06:33 |
| DarthBuh | I'm so confused | 06:33 |
| nickrud | oneeyedelf1: that could do it | 06:33 |
| ouellettesr | _xyz: what is the ip of your router? | 06:33 |
| crazyman | i just want to know how to mount those drives with write permissions bkar | 06:33 |
| DarthBuh | How come I can see the names of the partitions in fdisk, but mkfs can't see them? | 06:33 |
| telee | yeah that worked thanks.... but its only e16.7 not e17. ill have to get it installed later | 06:33 |
| oneeyedelf1 | nickrud: I am reinstalling the nvidia driver and rebooting, be back in a few minutes, hopeuflly it will work | 06:33 |
| MJC | Hello could anyone kindly recommend a P2P for ubuntu? | 06:34 |
| bkar | crazyman again if you believed they are mounted, tell me the result of mount | 06:34 |
| _xyz | ouellettesr: why do u need to know that? | 06:34 |
| dka7414 | well what i did was used sound juicer to change the original songs from the original cd from ogg to mp3 but you could use sound juicer to copy the whole cd in both mp3 and ogg files seperately | 06:34 |
| bkar | _xyz-> so he can assist you | 06:34 |
| clearzen | DarthBuh: have you tried e2mkfs? | 06:34 |
| DarthBuh | I haven't | 06:34 |
| jetscreamer | tried what? | 06:34 |
| _xyz | ouellettesr: my internal IP address of the router is 192.168.123.254 | 06:35 |
| dka7414 | can anyone help with wine problems | 06:35 |
| jetscreamer | MJC: azureus, or utorrent in wine | 06:35 |
| jcg42 | What is the best typing tutor? | 06:35 |
| MJC | Thank you jetscreamer :) | 06:35 |
| DarthBuh | says command not found | 06:36 |
| dka7414 | no i installed wine through synaptic then uninstalled and reinstalled and now it wont open the cdrive option from the wine drop down menu | 06:36 |
| jetscreamer | mkfs.ext2 ? | 06:36 |
| DarthBuh | Yeah, tried that | 06:36 |
| DarthBuh | Still says that the partition is not found | 06:36 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> paste your exact command? | 06:37 |
| _xyz | ouellettesr: you still there? | 06:37 |
| dka7414 | i think when you uninstall something from synaptic and then reinstall it synaptic sees the old files and doesnt really reinstall | 06:37 |
| jetscreamer | ls /sbin/mkfs* | 06:37 |
| erawfish | dka7414: not true | 06:37 |
| adamg | do a apt-get --purge remove <pkgname> | 06:37 |
| adamg | then re-install using synaptic | 06:37 |
| dka7414 | thanx ill try | 06:37 |
| DarthBuh | sudo mkfs.ext2 -t /dev/mapper/sil_aiabbjceffca1 | 06:37 |
| jetscreamer | mapper? | 06:38 |
| jetscreamer | beyond me | 06:38 |
| DarthBuh | yeah? | 06:38 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> that doesnt look right ..but i hav to check the man pages | 06:38 |
| DarthBuh | I'm going through DMRaid atm | 06:38 |
| jklfdjskl | is there a media player for ubuntu that has a *good* eq with good bass control | 06:38 |
| DarthBuh | the /dev/mapper/#### is my raid array | 06:38 |
| jetscreamer | xmms has an eq, dunno about good | 06:39 |
| jklfdjskl | i'd really like to enhance the sub-bass | 06:39 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> shouldnt it be like -t ext3 .. ? | 06:39 |
| jklfdjskl | yeah xmms isnt bad, except i'd like some more bass control | 06:39 |
| jklfdjskl | i wonder if theres a plugin for xmms that adds more eq functionality | 06:39 |
| DarthBuh | I can try that | 06:39 |
| jetscreamer | jklfdjskl: run jack, get the/a(n) jack mixer/eq, run it through that | 06:40 |
| DarthBuh | sudo mkfs.ext3 -t /dev/mapper/sil_aiabbjceffca1 | 06:40 |
| dka7414 | i did as you said and i went to /home/username/.wine and its still not got all the original files it had when i first installed | 06:40 |
| phixxor | rather keep it simple than use jack | 06:40 |
| jklfdjskl | jack never works for me, my hardware is really bleeding edge | 06:40 |
| DarthBuh | Could not stat /dev/mapper/sil_aiabbjceffca1 --- No such file or directory | 06:40 |
| DarthBuh | The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly? | 06:40 |
| jklfdjskl | barely supported in the most recent kernel | 06:40 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> I suggest you read some tutorial so you get the command correctly | 06:40 |
| jetscreamer | all i know | 06:40 |
| nickrud | jklfdjskl: you put too much bass on a pcm, you get distortion. You'd be better off getting a subwoofer | 06:41 |
| phixxor | tried audacious? | 06:41 |
| DarthBuh | I'm looking at the exact structure of the command at http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630644 | 06:41 |
| dka7414 | adamg= what does that purge command do anyway? a complete removal | 06:41 |
| jklfdjskl | lol nickrud, im talking about a 6hz response | 06:41 |
| nickrud | jklfdjskl: oh, you wanna attract whales | 06:42 |
| DarthBuh | Welcome back Viking | 06:42 |
| Viking667 | Right. I'm back with a slightly easier question. How does automounting happen under Ubuntu? | 06:42 |
| phixxor | lol | 06:42 |
| jklfdjskl | haha, if they beach themselves blame creative | 06:42 |
| ryxxui | I'm having a slightly odd video card problem situation: my laptop has two video cards which you can choose between via a switch on the front. | 06:42 |
| jklfdjskl | no theyre just headphones, but they have a 6hz response, which is killer low when unitilized | 06:42 |
| ryxxui | is there a command in terminal I can use to tell which card is selected? | 06:43 |
| dka7414 | I've had this problem before when uninstalling and then reinstalling its like synaptic sees old files and responds differently then it would a clean install | 06:43 |
| phixxor | isn't it impossible to hear anything below 10hz? below that you just feel it? | 06:43 |
| dka7414 | but i appreciate the help thanx | 06:43 |
| dka7414 | any other ideas? | 06:43 |
| Viking667 | phixxor: it's also possible for some people to be adversely affected by low frequency audio... | 06:43 |
| DarthBuh | How do I get from fdisk to mkfs? Is there a step to stat the results of fdisk? | 06:44 |
| nickrud | jklfdjskl: I forget what it was I installed, think it was plugins-ugly-multiverse, it added eq to rhythmbox. But I don't think the sound chips we got will do much for inaudible bass | 06:44 |
| phixxor | dka7414: search for wine and delete everything you see? | 06:44 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> umm on my dapper, the -t option is not showing when I man mkfs.ext3 | 06:44 |
| dka7414 | what kind of search does a all around search of the file system | 06:44 |
| dka7414 | or do i have to do it the hard way | 06:44 |
| phixxor | beagle does I think | 06:44 |
| nickrud | dka7414: locate after a sudo updatedb | 06:44 |
| jklfdjskl | this sound card can output up to 192khz, i didnt read the lows tho | 06:44 |
| solo | 中文？ | 06:45 |
| nickrud | !cn | solo | 06:45 |
| ubotu | solo: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 06:45 |
| bkar | DarthBuh-> but it uses -T a cap T | 06:45 |
| randomwalker | does anyone know if firefox's config.trim_on_minimize works in linux? | 06:45 |
| solo | thank u | 06:45 |
| dka7414 | i dont think i have it installed but i see and if i dont i could install it and then use it right? | 06:45 |
| bkar | dka7414-> you can always go back to "find" | 06:46 |
| nickrud | dka7414: it comes standard | 06:46 |
| phixxor | dka7414 -- I think it has to build an index first, | 06:46 |
| ryxxui | so, anyone know a way to tell what video card is being used in a system with more than one video card? | 06:46 |
| phixxor | why didn't using "completey remove" in synaptic work? | 06:46 |
| phixxor | ryxxui: does it say in hardware information? | 06:46 |
| oneeyedelf1 | nickrud: well I have rebooted, and it still seems that glxgears causes my system major pain | 06:46 |
| DarthBuh | the /dev/mapper results are not showing as files or directories | 06:47 |
| dka7414 | thats what i thought too, i know this is going to sound stupid but where do i use the find option for the filesystem im a n00b | 06:47 |
| nickrud | oneeyedelf1: I'm not real strong with nvidia, especially since they split the support among 3 drivers | 06:47 |
| ryxxui | phixxor: not in such a way that I can tell which one is in use | 06:47 |
| phixxor | hmm | 06:47 |
| dka7414 | are you talking about the taskbar applet | 06:47 |
| oneeyedelf1 | nickrud: do you know how I can find out which driver I should use for my card | 06:47 |
| nickrud | ryxxui: if you have X running, /var/log/Xorg.0.log will tell you | 06:48 |
| ryxxui | thanks, I'll check that | 06:48 |
| dka7414 | never mind i used the deskbar applet and it showed me some options | 06:48 |
| nickrud | oneeyedelf1: apt-cache show nvidia-glx , nvidia-glx-new , and nvidia-glx-legacy should say | 06:48 |
| adamg | dka7414: yes, it means remove EVERYTHING from this package, so generally it will be exactly as if the package was never installed. (ie, includes config and user data files I think) | 06:49 |
| nickrud | adamg: not the user stuff, apt doesn't touch anything in your home | 06:49 |
| dka7414 | what does "process /usr/bin/trackerd exited with 0 status mean | 06:49 |
| DarthBuh | I give the hell up | 06:50 |
| banditbyte | We've got a directory that has an extra "+" on the end. it's giving us permission problems. Anybody know what it is? "drwx------+" | 06:50 |
| nickrud | dka7414: it quit without errors | 06:50 |
| dka7414 | no nickrud | 06:50 |
| nickrud | dka7414: that's what exit 0 means | 06:50 |
| DarthBuh | raided discs is a 100% nightmare in Linux | 06:50 |
| evolipel | did anyone else not get an Xchat icon? | 06:50 |
| phixxor | DarthBuh: software or hardware raid | 06:51 |
| DarthBuh | Software | 06:51 |
| phixxor | well duh | 06:51 |
| radetsky | anybody familiar with filesystem issues? I have a screwed up ext3 drive that won't mount or allow me to run fsck on it | 06:51 |
| DarthBuh | Thing is, I can't get from fdisk to mkfs | 06:51 |
| mikubuntu | hola, guys. i forgot how to find program location with the terminal... the program is sumi draw. i tried whereis sumi draw and every variation i could think of but no output, can someone give me a hand? | 06:51 |
| mikubuntu | i want to put it into the menu | 06:51 |
| DarthBuh | the fdisk results are showing up in Gparted | 06:51 |
| robc4 | locate sumi | 06:52 |
| DarthBuh | but I can't move forward from that | 06:52 |
| dka7414 | actually i was trying to install msword and when installing the instructions told me that after i install a certain program go to thaT program in the filesystem and copy all the contents and then go to /home/username/.wine and put it all there and that would set up a windows enviroment. | 06:52 |
| crazy2k | Hello. I need to install Ubuntu (not Xubuntu, nor Kubuntu), but I have Xubuntu's Desktop CD. Is it possible to install Ubuntu from there? | 06:52 |
| robc4 | mikibuntu, do a sudo updatedb, and then locate sumi | 06:52 |
| radetsky | mikubuntu: or 'find / -name "*sumi*"' | 06:52 |
| adamg | nickrud: no, but stuff the 'package' creates, mainly the config files that go in /etc | 06:52 |
| banditbyte | We've got a directory that has an extra "+" on the end. it's giving us permission problems. Anybody know what it is? "drwx------+" | 06:52 |
| nickrud | adamg: yes, that's why I only mentioned the user stuff. You were right otherwise :) | 06:53 |
| dka7414 | well when i did that all the files i had copied were actually exact copies of the files that were already in the .wine directory so i replaced them and thats when the trouble started with not being able to open cdrive with wine | 06:53 |
| MuNzE | need help ,please.i install and after remove kde4 ,now gdm won't start ? | 06:53 |
| radetsky | crazy2k: it's probably possible to switch to ubuntu from xubuntu after you install the latter | 06:53 |
| bkar | banditbyte-> could you try lsattr ? | 06:53 |
| === Sheikh_Abdullah_ is now known as Leechzilla | ||
| banditbyte | bkar: Ok. | 06:53 |
| banditbyte | ty | 06:53 |
| radetsky | anybody know how to fix a drive if you can't mount it or fsck it? | 06:54 |
| adamg | dka7414: well, can you wipe your ~/.wine folder and restart ? I've not used wine in over 5 years, so can't be too much help .... | 06:54 |
| adamg | Though I have *just* installed windows XP using qemu :) | 06:55 |
| dka7414 | how can i completely wipe my ~/.wine folder just erase | 06:55 |
| adamg | radetsky: is it a physical drive fault or something else? | 06:55 |
| dka7414 | and whats qemu | 06:55 |
| radetsky | adamg: it's possible. I don't know | 06:55 |
| adamg | dka7414: Try "mv ~/.wine ~/.wine.backup | 06:55 |
| dka7414 | thanx | 06:55 |
| radetsky | adamg: the auto-device-creator thing recognizes it and adds it to /dev, but it won't mount | 06:56 |
| adamg | dka7414: qemu is vmware except free (and much much slower) | 06:56 |
| radetsky | I could tell you the errors, but they're not very informative | 06:56 |
| adamg | radetsky: does fdisk show the partitions ? | 06:56 |
| dka7414 | i see | 06:56 |
| mikubuntu | ok, i did locate sumi and got this: mikubuntu@ubuntu:~$ locate sumi | 06:56 |
| mikubuntu | /usr/share/app-install/desktop/kasumi.desktop | 06:56 |
| mikubuntu | /usr/share/app-install/icons/kasumi.png | 06:56 |
| mikubuntu | what part do i want to enter as command for menu? | 06:56 |
| radetsky | adamg: cfdisk does | 06:56 |
| adamg | radetsky: so what format filesystem should there be on the partitions? | 06:57 |
| radetsky | ext3 | 06:57 |
| zhaozhou | adamg, jfs | 06:57 |
| dka7414 | adamg when i did that command it just skiped to the next line and made a > symbol and that was it | 06:57 |
| dka7414 | you did say use mv right | 06:57 |
| zhaozhou | dka7414, ommit the " | 06:58 |
| adamg | radetsky: use /sbin/fsck.ext3 /dev/hda3 or whatever to check/fix it | 06:58 |
| dka7414 | duh | 06:58 |
| dka7414 | sorry | 06:58 |
| radetsky | adamg: it won't run fsck | 06:58 |
| zhaozhou | dka7414, everyone does that (; | 06:58 |
| astro76 | mikubuntu: mikubuntu if you look inside the kasumi.desktop for "Exec=" will tell you the program name | 06:58 |
| nickrud | banditbyte: the plus sign appears if there's an acl (access control list) permission associated with that dir | 06:58 |
| adamg | dka7414: yea, use mv so that if anything goes wrong you can always go back (ie, it doesn't delete the files, just puts them where wine won't see them) | 06:58 |
| radetsky | it's getting a "failed read block" error | 06:59 |
| robc4 | mikubuntu, are you sure the program was installed? | 06:59 |
| adamg | radetsky: then it sounds like you have a physical disk problem... you should replace the disk and restore from backup | 06:59 |
| dka7414 | ok now it just went to the next line , username@comp:~$ | 06:59 |
| dka7414 | is that right | 06:59 |
| radetsky | fsck.ext3 /dev/sdb1 | 06:59 |
| radetsky | e2fsck 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) | 06:59 |
| radetsky | /dev/sdb1: recovering journal | 06:59 |
| radetsky | /dev/sdb1: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while reading block 22530 | 06:59 |
| adamg | dka7414: so now try wine as if you never did anything before | 06:59 |
| radetsky | adamg: is the above consistent with that? | 07:00 |
| dka7414 | ok hold on | 07:00 |
| astro76 | mikubuntu: but actually it looks like kasumi is not what you want | 07:00 |
| cybergig | Question: I'm using XChat IRC program but theres a problem. The nicklist dissapeared.. it was there before and when I try to make it show on the right side lower of Xchat the nicklist doesn't appear. | 07:00 |
| adamg | radetsky: yep... "dmesg|tail" should give some more errors as well | 07:00 |
| radetsky | adamg: yes, IO errors | 07:00 |
| phobosdeimos71 | Can anyone tell me if Kompozer is really comparable to Dreamweaver | 07:00 |
| adamg | cybergig: what does CTRL-U do ? | 07:01 |
| nickrud | cybergig: on the right, half way up, you'll see a few dots. grab that with the mouse and pull left | 07:01 |
| zhaozhou | adamg, undo, deletes all the characters | 07:01 |
| dka7414 | ok i can get the wine configuration drop down to work as well as the others. Only when i click on cdrive it doesnt do anything still ???? | 07:01 |
| Viking667 | zhaozhou: depends upon the application | 07:01 |
| cybergig | adamg: nothing | 07:01 |
| adamg | radetsky: there are ways you might recover some data, but pretty much you are best to just replace the drive and restore from backup | 07:01 |
| zhaozhou | Viking667, i was just assuming it was bash... | 07:01 |
| Viking667 | heh. | 07:02 |
| zhaozhou | did'nt read. | 07:02 |
| cybergig | nickrud: the dots should be there, but they arn't the nick list appears though when I put it on the left | 07:02 |
| Viking667 | never assume. | 07:02 |
| zhaozhou | :D | 07:02 |
| cybergig | nickrud the dots should be there, but they arn't the nick list appears though when I put it on the left | 07:02 |
| adamg | dka7414: ok, try these two commands | 07:02 |
| radetsky | adamg: I agree, but I have no backup in this case. What are these ways to recover the data? | 07:02 |
| nickrud | cybergig: all's well that ends well | 07:02 |
| adamg | dka7414: rm -rf ~/.wine | 07:02 |
| adamg | dka7414: sudo apt-get --purge remove wine | 07:03 |
| jlulian38 | you can probably just rm -r | 07:03 |
| Viking667 | adamg: erm, no. | 07:03 |
| adamg | dka7414: then re-install and start again | 07:03 |
| Viking667 | if there's stuff in ~/.wine/drives/drive-c then you'll wipe that all out | 07:03 |
| cybergig | nickrud I found the problem, its ubuntu and a theme thats within ubuntu. It makes the nicklist dissapear o.o | 07:03 |
| adamg | Viking667: he just did a "mv ~/.wine ~/.wine-backup" 2 minutes ago ... | 07:03 |
| radetsky | does anybody know a good way to do a low-level examination of the contents of the drive? | 07:04 |
| adamg | radetsky: well, if you have a new drive or some space on another drive, then you can use dd_rescue which will recover as much of the data as possible (ignoring the failed reads) and then you run the fsck on the new drive | 07:04 |

| Evolution2 | hey guys, what is the best music player for synchronizing music | 07:05 |
| iceman_ | hello | 07:05 |
| iceman_ | amarok | 07:05 |
| Viking667 | adamg: ah. | 07:06 |
| Evolution2 | iceman_: I have an iRiver but I don't know how to configure it to work | 07:06 |
| rencore_ | i have a report tomorrow and i made a presentation in ubuntu. would i be able to take my ubuntu laptop in and hook it up to a projector? | 07:06 |
| iceman_ | try ubuntu offline topic for help | 07:06 |
| crazy2k | redspike_: What do you mean by "probably"? Have you heard of someone doing it? | 07:06 |
| moad | how do i know what distro i currently have ? | 07:06 |
| mikubuntu | robc4: i did an install with cnr client, it said it was successfully installed, but i can't find it anywhere, other than the output i got from | 07:07 |
| iceman_ | irc offline topic | 07:07 |
| mikubuntu | robc4: i did an install with cnr client, it said it was successfully installed, but i can't find it anywhere, other than the output i got from | 07:07 |
| radetsky | adamg: thanks, that's a good idea. However, I'm curious if there's a way to, e.g., hexdump the data where the error is occuring | 07:07 |
| dka7414 | still doesnt work, but i remembered the one program that that website said to install alongside wine to make mswork work it is ies for linux or something like that it is actually a internet explorer 6.0 emulator i just happened to see it on my desktop | 07:07 |
| mikubuntu | sorry din't mean to send that twice | 07:07 |
| Viking667 | ies4linux. | 07:08 |
| adamg | radetsky: od -x will dump data in hex (man od for other formats) but you need to use dd_rescue so that it will read past the sectors with errors | 07:08 |
| Viking667 | and it's not an emulator. It installs IE6 into its own wineroot, and you use wine to run it | 07:09 |
| Viking667 | ie6 that is. | 07:09 |
| dka7414 | that is the program that the site said to go to in the filesystem and copy the contents then go to the wine directory and paste. And if you remember it just so happened that all those files that i cut and pasted had the same name as the files in the wine directory and i replaced them could that be the problem | 07:09 |
| johns0n | hey i need help with ubuntu | 07:09 |
| radetsky | adamg: I'm not completely convinced that this is a mechanical failure | 07:09 |
| jklfdjskl | all your base | 07:09 |
| johns0n | Hello all, i need help with ubuntu | 07:09 |
| johns0n | I cant install Ubuntu | 07:09 |
| dka7414 | i dont think it could especially after all the removing and reinstallinga | 07:09 |
| jklfdjskl | did you ask it nicely? | 07:09 |
| radetsky | johns0n: be more specific | 07:10 |
| mikubuntu | johns0n: whats the prob | 07:10 |
| Viking667 | um. | 07:10 |
| adub | is there a way to have openoffice writer work better with word documents | 07:10 |
| adamg | radetsky: what HDD is it ? a recent SATA or IDE or old drive or ? | 07:10 |
| dka7414 | right viking667 thats it | 07:10 |
| adub | sometimes when you get word documents they are all garble | 07:10 |
| johns0n | okay , when i install it says ' error to boot from cd ' | 07:10 |
| johns0n | or something | 07:10 |
| adub | also is there something better to work with MS word documents | 07:10 |
| johns0n | I've downloaded twice and burned on 5 disc | 07:10 |
| radetsky | adamg: relatively new IDE | 07:10 |
| adub | like is abiword better or something | 07:10 |
| johns0n | it shouldnt be a problem | 07:10 |
| jklfdjskl | adub just install wine and use microsoft word | 07:10 |
| adub | i have given up on importing ms word | 07:11 |
| bazhang | adub: office 2003 or 2007 | 07:11 |
| nickrud | johns0n: when you look at the contents of the cd in windows, do you see one file or many | 07:11 |
| adub | my wine keeps taking a crap | 07:11 |
| radetsky | I don't know how old, but it's 160GB | 07:11 |
| jklfdjskl | apt-get install wine | 07:11 |
| jklfdjskl | then install word | 07:11 |
| banditbyte | yeh. heard abiword has better ms compatibility | 07:11 |
| johns0n | many. | 07:11 |
| jklfdjskl | hmmm no wine that sucks | 07:11 |
| adub | yeah i did that and wine is there | 07:11 |
| jklfdjskl | try #winehq | 07:11 |
| mikubuntu | johns0n: are you using the live cd or the alternate install? | 07:11 |
| johns0n | im not sure | 07:11 |
| dka7414 | abiword what is that | 07:11 |
| adub | but i keep getting the same dang error msg on ms word, excel and powerpoint | 07:11 |
| johns0n | but i downloaded it off Ubuntu site | 07:11 |
| dka7414 | does it really work better with .doc files | 07:11 |
| johns0n | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download < i got it off here. | 07:12 |
| nickrud | johns0n: take a look. You should see many. If you see one, you're not buring it as an image | 07:12 |
| radetsky | johns0n: if you can't successfully boot the cd, perhaps you failed to burn the cd properly | 07:12 |
| adamg | radetsky: install smartmontools package, there should be something in there to ask the drive for the status, if it thinks it has failed, then you know it has definitely failed | 07:12 |
| bazhang | adub: what version of office? 2003 or 2007 | 07:12 |
| adub | well bedtime ill have to try and tackle this tomorrow | 07:12 |
| dka7414 | that would solve everything and i wouldnt even have to bother with this dam* wine | 07:12 |
| adub | 2003 | 07:12 |
| adub | i get an user error | 07:12 |
| adub | like it says that this application is not install for this particular user when i first open it | 07:12 |
| adub | bazhang do you know what the problem could be | 07:12 |
| johns0n | i burned it correctly. | 07:12 |
| adub | i have been all over the grid on this one | 07:13 |
| adamg | anyone tried staroffice under linux ? I heard it was better at opening MS format files | 07:13 |
| adub | the program installs but no luck on opening | 07:13 |
| johns0n | when i insert the disc in windows it shows a ubuntu slpash start | 07:13 |
| adub | adamg i have not but might be worth a shot | 07:13 |
| bazhang | adub: what is the situation? you try to open a word 2003 .doc file and it does not open with open office; please be precise | 07:13 |
| johns0n | 'launching browser please wait ' | 07:13 |
| dka7414 | I really love ubuntu too much to be having to go back to the darkside of windoze again anyway i completely despise windoze | 07:13 |
| mikubuntu | johnson, when you start the computer with the disk in the tray, what happens | 07:14 |
| dka7414 | hey right on adamg i m going to try abiwork and staroffice and see where that will get me | 07:14 |
| radetsky | johns0n: do you have another bootable disk like a windows reinstall disk to confirm that your computer is booting cds correctly? | 07:14 |
| johns0n | yes | 07:14 |
| === Kud- is now known as sp0ro | ||
| adamg | dka7414: I think from www.clamwin.net you can follow the "get google pack" which will give you staroffice for free....... I think I remember that | 07:14 |
| adub | bazhang the program will not load | 07:15 |
| mikubuntu | johns0n: you're absolutely sure you burned as "iso image"? | 07:15 |
| johns0n | okay to be specific , i get this "I/O error, error reading boot CD" | 07:15 |
| adub | it will pop up with a msg indicating Mircosoft Office Word has not been installed for the current user. | 07:15 |
| adub | i hit ok | 07:15 |
| bazhang | adub: open office? have you tried just opening it first and then from the open dialog choice to do it that way? | 07:15 |
| adub | then it crashes | 07:15 |
| spider_ | see you next | 07:16 |
| adub | well i have had horrible experiences | 07:16 |
| dka7414 | thanx and you've been such a help thank you , one other thing tho can u help me with some ideas about getting my crystal eye web cam to work i have an acer 5620 | 07:16 |
| adub | with openoffice messing with ms word docs | 07:16 |
| jklfdjskl | someone said low audio frequencies can be bad for some people | 07:16 |
| adub | the text never looks right | 07:16 |
| jklfdjskl | that doesnt sound right, how is that possible | 07:16 |
| dka7414 | adamg that was directed toward you | 07:16 |
| adub | and sometimes it moves crap around on word docs | 07:16 |
| oneeyedelf1 | nickrud: I found out what is wrong with my video card, there are some capacitors that are blown | 07:16 |
| oneeyedelf1 | I will exercise my waranty | 07:16 |
| nickrud | oneeyedelf1: ah, the sweet smell of pcbs :) | 07:16 |
| bazhang | adub: you are not really responding clearly to my question--not sure how to help in that case | 07:16 |
| adamg | dka7414: I've never used a webcam under linux (or any other OS for that matter) though I did recently get an asus eeepc and have ubuntu on it, but not yet played with the webcam ..... | 07:17 |
| radetsky | johns0n: I've had similar issues which have been resolved by burning the image onto a new disk. I don't know if it'll solve your problem, but it's worth a shot | 07:17 |
| adub | something has really gone screwy with my system tho b/c wine and crossover office both are taking a crap on my system | 07:17 |
| dka7414 | ok | 07:17 |
| johns0n | I burned 4 disc | 07:17 |
| nickrud | bazhang: tag | 07:17 |
| adub | i had office 2003 working with crossover office | 07:17 |
| mikubuntu | johns0n: what about your hardware, is it an older cd drive by any chance? | 07:17 |
| johns0n | and all gave me the same problem | 07:17 |
| jklfdjskl | you should burn the disk in DAO mode at 4x if you're having issues, but that USUALLY isnt the issue | 07:17 |
| bazhang | adub: how did you install them? via automatix or other | 07:17 |
| fismoll8 | anyone know when wine is going to be complete | 07:17 |
| bazhang | nickrud hi! | 07:17 |
| === jam is now known as tjam | ||
| dka7414 | do you think i might need to go to the site of the webcam and see if there are drivers or something like that | 07:17 |
| johns0n | miku , its a dvd drive i just got the firmware updated. | 07:17 |
| === Nitr0 is now known as PSyKo | ||
| adamg | fismoll8: wine will never be complete :) | 07:18 |
| adub | ./install.sh for crossover office | 07:18 |
| fismoll8 | trying to run Sibelius 5 and Chessbase 8 | 07:18 |
| adub | and apt-get install wine | 07:18 |
| fismoll8 | yeah, I thought so adamg | 07:18 |
| dka7414 | im a n00b i just dont now if i will be wasting my time | 07:18 |
| adub | install wine messes up my apt-get all together | 07:18 |
| adub | its crazy crazy | 07:18 |
| adamg | at least that has been my understanding for the past 10 years I have been waiting for it to mature | 07:18 |
| jklfdjskl | crossover office 6.2 pro for gutsy is on torrent sites cough cough | 07:18 |
| fismoll8 | technically, I can just dual boot--but that seems like a pain | 07:18 |
| bazhang | !piracy | jklfdjskl | 07:18 |
| ubotu | jklfdjskl: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o | 07:18 |
| johns0n | And yes i burned it in DAO mode at 4x. | 07:18 |
| johns0n | with a CDRW and a CDR | 07:18 |
| Darkhack | I think WINE will be at 1.0 when they reach full XP compatibility. Then they'll increment beyond 1.0 for Vista and so on. | 07:19 |
| oneeyedelf1 | nickrud: thanks for as much help as you could give me | 07:19 |
| adamg | dka7414: does it show up with "lsusb" or sudo lsusb ? | 07:19 |
| dka7414 | hold on | 07:19 |
| fismoll8 | well, when do you think they will be at 1.0 | 07:19 |
| johns0n | ): | 07:19 |
| jklfdjskl | lol wine at full xp compatibility? right. | 07:19 |
| oneeyedelf1 | well time to install an older video card | 07:19 |
| dka7414 | yes it is from suyin corp and thats the only thing that shows up | 07:19 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| adamg | dka7414: ok, good start :) | 07:20 |
| scguy318 | Darkhack: I haven't fully watched the vids from the Wine conference, but it's probably other things like 64-bit and .NET too | 07:20 |
| adamg | I would try some application which is meant to use a video camera and see if it works..... | 07:20 |
| radetsky | johns0n: have you managed to boot the install cds of debian, knoppix, or any other linux distro? | 07:20 |
| Darkhack | No. WINE Isn't doing .NET. They're leaving that to Mono. | 07:20 |
| johns0n | no i havent tried. | 07:20 |
| mikubuntu | johns0n: i'm guessing you prolly did not burn the alternate install cd. you might try that just in case it makes a difference. somebody correct me if i'm wrong. | 07:20 |
| jklfdjskl | lol wine doing .net is like ferrari doing geo | 07:20 |
| dka7414 | i tried cheese and it completely froze my screen in a bright white | 07:20 |
| johns0n | whats a alternate install cd? | 07:21 |
| bazhang | offtopic jklfdjskl | 07:21 |
| fismoll8 | i guess I will always have to have one computer running Windows | 07:21 |
| fismoll8 | it's kind of depressing | 07:21 |
| Darkhack | WINE is only implementing the Windows API which .NET is not (it's a framework/runtime) | 07:21 |
| radetsky | johns0n: if you can any of them to work, you can turn them into ubuntu fairly easily | 07:21 |
| dka7414 | also now i am running compiz fusion and avant window navigator and screenlets i would probably have to turn those off to use the webcam wouldnt i | 07:21 |
| johns0n | ahhhhhhhhhh~ | 07:21 |
| scguy318 | Darkhack: well, getting .NET to run on Wine is what I meant | 07:22 |
| scguy318 | Darkhack: there's progress in that area | 07:22 |
| johns0n | brb ima give it a shot again | 07:22 |
| adamg | dka7414: try another application then, if it still doesn't work, then try the support irc channel (or mailing list) for that application, or try on here til you get someone with more experience on webcam... sorry, I just dunno | 07:22 |
| dka7414 | let me try something other than cheese i just had a bad experience with it | 07:22 |
| jklfdjskl | cheese is an awesome application | 07:23 |
| adamg | dka7414: or try a google search for "ubuntu <your computer model> or <your webcam model> | 07:23 |
| scguy318 | Darkhack: Alexandre Julliard has expressed getting the .NET Framework running on Wine to be a major goal, and I've seen some of the interesting work to that end | 07:23 |
| dorto | My friend from China wants to know if Ubuntu can be installed on SiS Mirage 3 M672 graphics card/motherboard, anybody used this with Ubuntu? | 07:23 |
| bazhang | adub: sounds like you have a number of issues to deal with--I have to step out for a couple of hours but will be back later if you would like to resume; other fine folks here may be able to help as well | 07:23 |
| jklfdjskl | scguy that makes no sense, why would wine try to emulate something that can run natively with mono | 07:23 |
| dka7414 | thanx for all your help also what is that purge command again and what does it do and also should i turn off compiz first before trying webcam | 07:23 |
| adub | thanks bazhang its about bed time for me though | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | jklfdjskl: because Mono is deficient in many areas, and there's a lot of things that simply don't work on it at the present time | 07:24 |
| adub | i will be on here tomorrow | 07:24 |
| adub | i think i might try star office | 07:24 |
| bazhang | see you then adub | 07:24 |
| jklfdjskl | o, ok. | 07:24 |
| adub | i have heard good things about it | 07:24 |
| scguy318 | jklfdjskl: good luck getting any random .NET app running on Mono :P | 07:24 |
| adub | and i woudl rather run all linux stuff anyhow | 07:24 |
| radetsky | dka7414: --purge is a flag to apt-get | 07:24 |
| Darkhack | I don't even have WINE installed. All my applications are native. | 07:25 |
| adamg | dka7414: "apt-get --purge remove <packagename>" will remove ALL of the files the package installed including config files/etc, but it won't remove files from your home directory | 07:25 |
| dka7414 | oh yea and why did you say "good start" when the lsusb command came back reading the cam. does that mean it recognizes it | 07:25 |
| jklfdjskl | mono will just be another java it looks like | 07:25 |
| dka7414 | thanx for that command i could have used that before | 07:26 |
| adamg | dka7414: yeah, it likely means that linux knows that your device is a camera .... so in other words, it 'should' work :) | 07:26 |
| jklfdjskl | i got the camera in my notebook lcd to work out of the box with cheese, talk about luck | 07:26 |
| dka7414 | adamg=how many years have u been using ubuntu and also just wanted to say you really seem to know what your talking about | 07:27 |
| Crazy_Diamond | any chilean dude?? | 07:27 |
| adamg | dka7414: less than a year, but I've been using linux since around 1995.... so a lot of 'modern' stuff like webcam's I don't know :) | 07:28 |
| dka7414 | i should have said linux , ubuntu hasnt been around that long | 07:28 |
| dka7414 | well cheers to you. have a great night and thanks for the help i'm going to try another cam app | 07:28 |
| dka7414 | thanx everyone | 07:28 |
| mattz_ | i keep losing window decorations when i start compiz-fusion | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | heh. | 07:30 |
| mattz_ | i removed emerald and tried "gtk-window-decorator --replace" # to no avail | 07:30 |
| Jangari | anyone know which package i should install for the standard tcl/tk libraries? | 07:30 |
| Viking667 | sounds a bit like a problem I have. remote X doesn't work to a Mandriva machine from a Ubuntu host, unless I use metacity | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | tcl8.4 or 5 | 07:31 |
| cortar | what can i use to play .pls files such as those from live365.com? the RhythmBox Music Player that comes up by default doesn't seem to do anything? | 07:31 |
| mattz_ | weird | 07:31 |
| Jangari | 8.4 or 8.5, Viking667? | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | cortar: xmms will probably play those, and so will mplayer | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | Jangari: depends upon what's in gutsy | 07:31 |
| Viking667 | or Heron | 07:31 |
| cortar | Rhythmbox 0.11.2 | 07:31 |

| radetsky | adamg: according to smartctl, my drive is fine ("OK"). Is this trustworthy? | 07:32 |
| scguy318 | Makuseru: some sort of user agent plugin? | 07:32 |
| Makuseru | scguy318: yes | 07:33 |
| Darkhack | Makuseru: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 | 07:33 |
| Makuseru | couldnt think of what it was called | 07:33 |
| scguy318 | Makuseru: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 might be it | 07:34 |
| scguy318 | Darkhack beat me to it :P | 07:34 |
| Makuseru | thanks | 07:34 |
| Darkhack | You could also do it manually in about:config, but the extension is probably easier. | 07:34 |
| dka7414 | alright im back | 07:34 |
| dka7414 | adamg | 07:34 |
| dka7414 | are you there | 07:34 |
| adamg | radetsky: not 100% no... but if it said failed, it is 100% trustworthy .... | 07:34 |
| radetsky | adamg: gotcha, thanks | 07:35 |
| adamg | dka7414: yeah ? | 07:35 |
| radetsky | adamg: you have acquired the "Curse of the Competent" | 07:36 |
| dka7414 | i opened camstreams program and when i did up in the window it says acer crystal eye webcam as if it knows its there but a warning pops up and says "experienced an error -19 (no such device) the window will be closed | 07:36 |
| Viking667 | dka7414: heh. Yeah. the driver died. | 07:36 |
| dka7414 | whats that mean\ | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | I had that problem with another webcam I own. | 07:37 |
| dka7414 | any ideas | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | it means that the piece of software between the camera and your kernel crapped itself. | 07:37 |
| spider_ | bye | 07:37 |
| Viking667 | and no, sorry. I never fixed that bug. | 07:37 |
| spider_ | bye windows | 07:37 |
| spider_ | no windows no microsoft | 07:37 |
| spider_ | linux only | 07:37 |
| spider_ | one linux one world | 07:38 |
| adamg | dka7414: probably means get another camera that uses a different driver, or wait for some future date for someone to notice and fix the problem with the driver and your camera | 07:38 |
| dka7414 | well when i had vista set up when i bought this laptop it had an aplet for crystal eye web cam that i would have to press. do you think i could download the program or driver from acer and see if that would work | 07:38 |
| radetsky | dka7414: or google for "ubuntu <camera-type> <error message>" | 07:39 |
| dka7414 | googleing as we speak | 07:39 |
| adamg | dka7414: I doubt they would have any linux app or driver ..... | 07:39 |
| radetsky | unless it's a rare camera, somebody has probably had this problem before, and someone authoritative will have said either "this is hard to fix, but here's a way to do it" | 07:39 |
| radetsky | or "this is impossible until an upgrade" | 07:39 |
| dka7414 | yea thats what i though too | 07:39 |
| MJC | could anyone recommend a good starting point on learning perl? | 07:39 |
| Viking667 | MJC: yup. man perltoc | 07:40 |
| dka7414 | um do you think another app might pick it up or no | 07:40 |
| scguy318 | MJC: I hear the Camel book? | 07:40 |

| radetsky | Viking667: yes, this is the joke. It has absolutely nothing to do with perl, but it promoted as some sort of path to programming enlightenment | 07:43 |
| Viking667 | scheme. Right. | 07:44 |
| Viking667 | thought I'd seen it somewhere. | 07:44 |
| Viking667 | I've got THAT on my docs DVD somewhere. | 07:44 |
| proto142 | I've searched for the find_iso grub option but found no clue to what it does? Any one know? | 07:45 |
| radetsky | proto142: factors integers in poly-time | 07:45 |
| proto142 | Does find_iso load an ISO like bootfrom= does in Knoppix? | 07:47 |
| proto142 | ! | 07:48 |
| Viking667 | no idea, sorry. | 07:48 |
| JasonWoof | how do I stop updatedb from ever running again? | 07:49 |
| Cromag | JasonWoof: although i do not know what happends; you can remove it | 07:50 |
| Cromag | updatedb and locate are friends, but i think the search thingie is the gui for it, therefore i do not know. | 07:51 |
| Darkhack | I'm really happy. I don't have to go back to school until Wednesday and Jobs' Keynote is on Tuesday. | 07:51 |
| nickrud | JasonWoof: remove find.notslocate from /etc/cron.daily | 07:51 |
| scguy318 | JasonWoof: dunno, remove slocate from /etc/cron.daily? | 07:52 |
| JasonWoof | nickrud, scguy318: thanks! | 07:52 |
| scguy318 | JasonWoof: probably what nickrud said | 07:53 |
| nickrud | scguy318: they both do updatedb, I don't know which | 07:53 |
| scguy318 | nickrud: ah | 07:53 |
| radetsky | starting over again | 07:54 |
| proto142 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~ | 07:55 |
| radetsky | I have a drive which won't mount and which will not allow me to fsck it, but smartctl reports that it is in OK health | 07:55 |
| nickrud | scguy318: the find.notslocate is a diversion, I'm not even gonna try track that down tonight | 07:55 |
| radetsky | it was working fine, then I unmounted it and turned it off, and when I turned it back on it wouldn't work | 07:56 |
| JasonWoof | nickrud, scguy318: oh, good call. I deleted both =) | 07:56 |
| radetsky | suggestions? | 07:56 |

| Jangari | is there a config file or something for running commands automatically on startup? | 07:59 |
| Viking667 | yeah. /etc/rc.local I think. | 07:59 |
| Viking667 | but that's only a guess | 07:59 |
| radetsky | Jangari: startup of what? Linux? X? your login shell? | 08:00 |
| aniac | hi guys! your lights... : | 08:00 |
| banditbyte | *lol* nice ubotu | 08:00 |
| webman | or perhaps you meant /etc/init.d/rc.local | 08:00 |
| aniac | I have installed ubuntu lts (6.06) on an old amd 1000MHz pc where is not internet access | 08:01 |
| Viking667 | Ah, sorry. That's what I meant. It's on different places for different OSes. | 08:01 |
| aniac | how can enrich installed application list? | 08:01 |
| Viking667 | aniac: wow, that's old. | 08:01 |
| aniac | viking itsok for linux though.. :) | 08:01 |
| Viking667 | aniac: you need the apps available on a CD if you have no internet. | 08:01 |
| reeeh2000 | gnight all | 08:02 |
| aniac | hmmm how can i do that? | 08:02 |
| webman | Viking667: I did an install yesterday on a laptop with 128M ram ...... it is pretty painful :) | 08:02 |
| Viking667 | aniac: it probably is. For the applications you want, you'll need to download them to a CDR and stick the CDR into your 6.06 box | 08:02 |
| aniac | I tried downloading some apps and installing there but not success :( | 08:02 |
| Viking667 | webman: yeah. I know. | 08:02 |
| Viking667 | zoom was running kde3.5.4 on 128MB - took 5minutes to start up... | 08:03 |
| webman | aniac: you will need to be sure you are installing applications from version 6.06 not from current ubuntu version | 08:03 |
| aniac | viking not all aps are ok for ubuntu 6.06 lts | 08:03 |
| Viking667 | now it's got 320MB, it's much better | 08:03 |
| Viking667 | aniac: so get the right packages. | 08:03 |
| radetsky | !pastebin | 08:03 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 08:03 |
| Viking667 | aniac: there's alwways "grab the source debs, recompile on the box, then install the resulting binary debs" | 08:04 |
| aniac | hmm is somehowere any place where I can get some packages altogether for 6.06? | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | aniac: that's a good way, though you have to know how to build deb packages from their source. | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | aniac: usually, ubuntu mirrors ought to have a list of deb-src places as well as deb places. | 08:04 |
| aniac | i tried with gimmie and didn't success | 08:04 |
| Viking667 | what's "gimmie"? | 08:05 |
| aniac | its like a control pannel | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | ah. | 08:05 |
| aniac | (webmin style( | 08:05 |
| Viking667 | another option is to drag the machine over to a network. | 08:05 |
| aniac | I can't even se my new sata2hd mounted :( | 08:05 |
| * webman likes sneakernet :) | 08:05 | |
| aniac | sneakernet ? | 08:06 |
| aniac | ... | 08:06 |
| webman | used to be floppy disks and a comfy pair of sneakers :) | 08:06 |
| aniac | well is there any special place for lts packages? | 08:06 |
| coo_wy | wow !! | 08:07 |
| coo_wy | so many people here :) | 08:07 |
| Viking667 | aniac: as I said, if you go to any ubuntu mirror, you can probably look for deb-src packages. | 08:07 |
| === coo_wy is now known as beginer_NAS | ||
| aniac | hmm viking usually I use ubuntu.com / google to download things... any specific ? thaks.. | 08:07 |
| Jangari | sorry radetsky, i meant on login | 08:07 |
| beginer_NAS | any friend who are good at NAS build ? I want to try to build a ubuntu based NAS , any suggestion is welcome ? | 08:08 |
| radetsky | webman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51874/ | 08:09 |
| aniac | viking I found a list by googling but there are only ubuntu distros though, not other apps... | 08:10 |
| radetsky | Jangari: I haven't been paying attention. Did you resolve your problem? | 08:10 |
| === Tyczek is now known as Tyczek|zaj | ||
| Jangari | no, | 08:10 |
| === Tyczek|zaj is now known as Tyczek|zajecia | ||
| Jangari | and sorry, i stopped paying attention first | 08:10 |
| Jangari | all i need to know is whether there's a config file or something that contains a list of performed commands on login | 08:11 |
| radetsky | Jangari: login as in login to gdm or an equivalent? | 08:11 |
| Jangari | yeah, gmd | 08:11 |
| Jangari | gnome | 08:11 |
| radetsky | Jangari: I use KDE, so I can't check into it easily, but I'd surprised if that stuff wasn't well documented in the gnome help files | 08:12 |
| === cameron_ is now known as LurkersA | ||
| radetsky | just search in it for things like "startup commands" | 08:12 |
| Jangari | mm, alright, i'll dig a little | 08:12 |
| Jangari | yeah | 08:12 |
| kama | stupid flash has been gone for days | 08:13 |
| radetsky | there's also .xinitrc or something like that I think | 08:13 |
| kama | anyone familiar with azureus here? | 08:13 |
| === cameron_ is now known as LurkersA | ||
| radetsky | but that's probably more low-level than you want | 08:13 |
| kama | i tried opening it twice, and it comes up, then immediately closes | 08:13 |
| radetsky | kama: how do you feel about terminal-based applications? | 08:14 |
| radetsky | I've used rtorrent with almost no problems for some time | 08:14 |
| kama | ahh | 08:14 |
| kama | I need azureus | 08:14 |
| kama | other clients are banned from this private tracker site | 08:14 |
| radetsky | you could probably have rtorrent claim to be azureus if you built it from source | 08:15 |
| radetsky | maybe even with just a config option | 08:15 |
| webman | radetsky: so sdb is a usb flash disk or a usb HDD adaptor ? | 08:16 |
| radetsky | webman: an external drive enclosure with an internal drive inside | 08:16 |
| jtaby | how do find out what version of ubuntu i'm running? | 08:16 |
| Madpilot | kama, try Deluge for torrents. Is good. | 08:16 |
| webman | radetsky: I would suggest try to install the HDD internally and see how it works | 08:17 |
| kama | i am not even going to bother risking bannage | 08:17 |
| radetsky | kama: bittorrent client ids are just a few bytes in the protocol buffer. it's not like the tracker is going to do some sophisticated analysis to determine what client you use | 08:17 |
| kama | they are pretty strict about approved clients | 08:18 |
| LurkersA | jtaby System -> Administration -> System Moniter and click the 'System' Tab | 08:18 |
| jtaby | LurkersA: no gui | 08:18 |
| LurkersA | ah | 08:18 |
| randomwalker | i installed epiphany on gutsy and by default the search bar dropdown shows "debian bug tracking system" | 08:19 |
| randomwalker | is this some kind of development version?? | 08:19 |
| radetsky | webman: ok, but I probably can't do it for a while | 08:19 |
| LurkersA | jtaby Not sure of a terminal command | 08:19 |
| darin_ | where is there a place i can get some help with proftpd on irc? | 08:20 |
| American-tech | Does anybody use the program mail notification? | 08:21 |
| randomwalker | American-tech, yeah | 08:21 |
| webman | radetsky: I had a usbb enclosure do that to me once, it mostly worked, but never worked 100% after it started doing that..... but the drive would always work when connected internally | 08:21 |
| vinicius | every time a login, after typing username and password, a popup comes saying something like "there's no pt_BR language available"... how can I find out from where comes this window? | 08:21 |
| webman | darin_: Just ask politely giving the problem you have or else refer to the documentation that came with the application to find the support options for that specific package | 08:22 |
| radetsky | webman: wait, you mean that at first the drive did not do that, but then it started to do that? | 08:23 |
| American-tech | Is there anyway to delete the messages without opening your email program | 08:23 |
| Deja^vu^Boy | Ggood day all | 08:23 |
| webman | radetsky: yes | 08:23 |
| radetsky | webman: as in this is possibly symptomatic of mechanical failure of the enclosure? | 08:23 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: isso é referente ao seu teclado? | 08:23 |

| spider_ | i want to get a bsdlive ,does someone has it? | 08:24 |
| vinicius | Rodolfo, não tenho a mínima... a janela vem do X (sem metacity) e depois o metacity é carregado | 08:24 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: e como estão as configurações referentes ao seu teclado no xorg.conf? | 08:25 |
| vinicius | Rodolfo, vamos ver | 08:25 |
| webman | radetsky: that is what I assumed in the end..... so I threw it out | 08:25 |
| spider_ | i write a language ,i call it "do language" | 08:25 |
| randomwalker | American-tech, i don't think so | 08:25 |
| spider_ | it likes c++ or java. | 08:25 |
| HashBox | American-tech: I think you empty either /home/username/Mail/ or /var/mail/username | 08:26 |
| estupendocero | I just booted my machine, and no icons or toolbars loaded. It's just the mouse cursor on an orange screen. I'm on a tty right now. What happen? | 08:26 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: faz o seguinte copia todo o conteúdo do xorg.conf e cola ele aqui: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ | 08:26 |
| radetsky | radetsky: well, I still have several days to bitch at the best buy customer service dept, so... | 08:26 |
| jtaby | LurkersA: for reference, it was cat /etc/issue | 08:26 |
| LurkersA | jtaby Thanks for that. I'll file that away for next time :D | 08:27 |
| webman | radetsky: probably better to test it under windows before you complain about that one.... | 08:27 |
| jtaby | :) | 08:27 |

| Rodolfo | vinicius: dá uma olhada na linha 26 | 08:29 |
| timandtom | Are there any alternatives to Wine that might run a 3d game(IMVU, the 3d chat/resource raper) better? Or does anyone have any tips to get it to work in wine? | 08:29 |
| vinicius | Rodolfo: qual a sintaxe? ptbr? | 08:29 |
| vinicius | pt_br ? | 08:29 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: o layout do teclado está definido como "us" | 08:29 |
| Viking667 | ha ha ha... | 08:29 |
| webman | radetsky: they will want "windows" error messages :).... anyway, it is also a good 'test' to ensure there is no linux driver problem/etc .... | 08:29 |
| darin_ | would someone be willing to help me with proftpd? noone in the proftpd room is responding | 08:30 |
| vinicius | Rodolfo: acho que só tenho que mudar a variante | 08:30 |

| vinicius | Rodolfo: o layout é mesmo us-international | 08:30 |
| vinicius | Rodolfo: hehe.. blza... | 08:30 |
| webman | darin_: don't ask for help, just state your problem ..... | 08:30 |
| radetsky | webman: which do you think doesn't work under linux, usb or ide? | 08:30 |
| zeddock | Howdy all. | 08:31 |
| radetsky | (j/k, btw, if it wasn't clear) | 08:31 |
| radetsky | I appreciate the advice though | 08:31 |
| webman | radetsky: well, I know usb works well under linux (usb-storage) but it could be some weird usb-storage problem with that device you have.... | 08:31 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: bom vou te dar a config do meu pra vc usar como base pq o meu tbm usa o driver "kbd" | 08:31 |
| zeddock | I am not familiar with this type of support, but thought I might get some help. | 08:31 |
| darin_ | would someone be willing to help me with proftpd? noone in the proftpd room is responding | 08:32 |

| webman | darin_: stop repeating ! | 08:32 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: ainda dentro da seção "InputDevice" em xkbRules deixa "xorg" | 08:32 |
| darin_ | can someone help me with limiting users to a jailed directory, i setup the default root as ~ !ftp and i have one user in that group and one not but the user that is not is able to gain access to other directories such as /etc | 08:32 |

| alpaco | hi | 08:39 |
| alpaco | how do I add the keyboard layout button to my gnome bar? | 08:40 |
| Rodolfo | vinicius: faz assim entao entra la no #ubuntu-br q eu to la | 08:40 |
| timandtom | Hashbox: Does either have decent luck at getting 3d to work? | 08:40 |
| zeddock | what do you mean dgjones? | 08:40 |
| HashBox | timandtom: Cedega probably would be your best bet | 08:40 |
| timandtom | Hashbox: :D Ok, thanks. It's in Synaptic? And it won't clash with Wine if both installed(not running, just installed) at the same time, right? | 08:41 |
| dgjones | zeddock, there's a description of what works and what causes problems and what issues the installer had https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingUbuntuOnADellVostro1700 | 08:41 |
| cybergig | webman The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: libexiv2-0 | 08:41 |
| zeddock | I will go look at list again. This place moves fast! | 08:41 |
| webman | cybergig: but did it complete installing vmware (or remove it) ? | 08:42 |
| zeddock | Thanx. Was hoping for personal experience of others but I will go back to forums and lists again. | 08:42 |
| cybergig | Neither just nothing about vmware | 08:42 |
| HashBox | timandtom: Cedega is actually commercial software, but there is a trial available, you might need to download it from the official site | 08:42 |
| alpaco | thanks for nothing gnome is so nice I found it | 08:42 |
| alpaco | bye | 08:42 |
| timandtom | Hashbox: Ah, thanks. Happen to know the link, or should I just google it? | 08:43 |
| webman | cybergig: try my magical (today most common suggestion so far) "apt-get --purge remove vmware-server" | 08:43 |
| AdemoS | when I try to run jedit from the Main Menu, it doesn't start. So I ran it in the terminal, and got this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51876/ | 08:43 |

| HashBox | Ryuho: break? just a guess | 08:44 |
| Ryuho | thanks break worked | 08:44 |
| Viking667 | for java? Don't they have "break"? | 08:44 |
| cybergig | webman Package vmware-server is not installed, so not removed | 08:44 |

| timandtom | Hashbox :D Ah! Thanks | 08:44 |

| Daniloc | anybody can help me with that? | 09:19 |
| AdemoS | HashBox, I already tried %U | 09:19 |
| n2diy | AdemoS: You have to write your own launcer, or live with doing it from the command line? | 09:19 |
| portablejim | it did not start. | 09:19 |
| HashBox | AdemoS: sorry im not terribly sure | 09:19 |
| AdemoS | n2diy, I did make my own launcher, but I don't know how to get to start in a terminal | 09:19 |
| AdemoS | alright thanks anyway | 09:19 |
| HashBox | portablejim: did it give any error messages? | 09:19 |
| timandtom | HashBox: I could fail every test and it would still run, just probably not very well. But, as the games almost all 3d, i'd like to have 3d working, haha. That was the only thing that didnt work well in Wine, is 3d things, so, hopefully if i get my graphics card working, i wont even need cedega | 09:20 |
| n2diy | AdemoS: Try asking in #bash ? | 09:20 |
| AdemoS | alright thanks | 09:20 |
| HashBox | timandtom: I just thought maybe Cedega was being dumb, someone else will need to help with getting acceleration working, im not terribly knowledgable in that area lol | 09:21 |
| RamY | darin_: i opened terminal and i opened directory and i got the following error : ./armyops-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 09:21 |
| cybergig | n2diy, package installer claims there should be a folder called usr/lib/vmware-server/ which I believe is the main program area. But it is not there... | 09:21 |
| dgjones | larkarmar, the only difference to mine are that you've got a google repo enabled and you've got the backports and partner repos enabled, maybe disable those and try installing again | 09:22 |

| cybergig | n2diy sometimes that works.. | 09:26 |

| n2diy | cybergig: I would avoid automatix and stick with synaptic, or apptitude | 09:28 |
| cybergig | n2diy I would as well, but vmware-server is not installing, uninstalling nor is findable in most cases. | 09:29 |
| timandtom | HashBox: Ok, dang. I was hoping there would be some driver problem or something :) Drivers can be installed, but I can't fix programs, haha. | 09:29 |

| phenom | Ziroday, thank you. | 09:36 |
| cybergig | n2diy but nothing was in the dir | 09:36 |
| Hk-Karim | hye! i just installing Proftpd on my ubuntu. by using terminal command how i can check any list of ftp user account? | 09:37 |
| n2diy | cybergig: ok, so it seems VMware is logging? | 09:37 |
| Wiseguy | hey guys, does gcc not come preinstalled or something? i tried to compile a C program with gcc and it couldnt find the standard library even | 09:37 |
| hatter | is it a problem to disable IO-APIC ? | 09:37 |
| n2diy | is/isn't | 09:37 |
| Wiseguy | is it lack of build-essential? | 09:37 |
| HashBox | Wiseguy: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" in a terminal, yes | 09:37 |
| cybergig | n2diy doesn't seem like it because there are no files within the log folder | 09:37 |
| n2diy | cybergig: ????????? | 09:38 |
| cybergig | n2diy from what I understand to log is to log to file, not to a folder -.- there are no files within the vmware folder. | 09:38 |
| Wiseguy | should i uninstall the gcc that is installed right now? | 09:38 |
| n2diy | cybergig: Can you tell I don't know much about VMware? | 09:38 |
| n2diy | cybergig: Yes, the log should be in a file. | 09:39 |
| cybergig | n2diy there are several things I can tell.. but like I said.. there is no log file.. | 09:39 |
| portablejim | HashBox: (on host) It asked me for my password, gave me the location of the startup script, ran the programs in the startup folder and gave me the location of my log file(s). | 09:39 |
| cybergig | n2diy just a folder | 09:39 |
| HashBox | portablejim: im not sure what the problem is then sorry | 09:40 |
| portablejim | that's OK. I'll keep trying. | 09:40 |
| dunebuggy | op help please | 09:41 |
| n2diy | cybergig: Roger that, it is late here, so I'm going to crash soon. Hopefully you'll get an answer here, or #bash? 73 | 09:41 |
| dunebuggy | i have a ? about the server | 09:42 |
| Ziroday | dunebuggy: you might be able to reach a op in #ubuntu-ops or #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:42 |
| dunebuggy | thank you | 09:42 |
| cybergig | n2diy hopefully because i need to start working on my coding projects again.. thats why I need either a 100% wine that works the way I need it to or vmware... to experiment... | 09:42 |
| n2diy | cybergig: Good luck, OM | 09:43 |
| Polysics | hi all | 09:44 |
| __Krush | Dear All, have a baffling problem with a DVDRW drive which after burning about 5 times, I find PC switched off ??? | 09:44 |
| Polysics | simple question: does the upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 through the update manager actually work? | 09:45 |
| Polysics | i can't bork this pc right now | 09:45 |
| portablejim | HashBox: the error is "Connections refused(111)" - on client. | 09:45 |
| __Krush | Seems like burning is causing a shutdown or switchoff??? | 09:45 |
| Polysics | so i need to be sure :-) | 09:45 |
| oldude67 | Polysics, there are no guaranties | 09:46 |
| cybergig | night n2diy | 09:46 |
| n2diy | cybergig: Good luck, OM | 09:46 |
| Polysics | oldude67, so it's better to reinstall or dual boot? | 09:47 |
| Polysics | my worry is that it's my work pc | 09:47 |
| loodjuret | anyone here know a guide imitating osx on gutsy (not fiesty)? | 09:47 |
| HashBox | portablejim: you need to figure out what port it is listening on probably | 09:48 |
| dgjones | Polysics, i've done 3 updates and they've all worked without any problems, but as oldude67 says, there's no guarantee's, if you've used any non-ubuntu repo's thats most likely when you'll have problems | 09:48 |
| Polysics | but did anyone have problems with the upgrade process? | 09:49 |
| Polysics | i don't think i have any extra repos | 09:49 |
| wannadoanything | avant没用啊 | 09:49 |
| Polysics | i'll check sources.list | 09:49 |
| phenom | Polysics, If you have permission to admin work computer you should have done it already. :) The upgrade killed my vmware(not my images) and I could have gone about it a different way but I reinstalled it with no problem. | 09:49 |
| dolphin_noel | this is a litle cruisel i install the xserver-xgl and now my amsn don`t show the fonts i ussually use lol :x | 09:49 |
| Polysics | ok, i use vmware, but if it doesn't kill my images it's ok | 09:49 |
| interceptor | !ru | 09:49 |
| ubotu | Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 09:50 |
| Polysics | nice, so most of the times it goes well | 09:50 |
| interceptor | !ru | 09:50 |
| interceptor | #ubuntu-ru | 09:50 |
| Polysics | i'll finish another dl and then try it | 09:50 |
| oldude67 | Polysics, it did with mine but it was almost a fresh install. | 09:50 |
| dolphin_noel | and the sound don`t play when i go tote another acount :x | 09:50 |
| phenom | Polysics, Yea, the #vmware guys suggested a million different ways to fix it by the time I had it reinstalled and working again. :) | 09:50 |
| portablejim | HashBox: it connected, but I cannot enter anything into the input field. | 09:50 |
| Polysics | this is not a fresh install but i don't think i have anything that's not stock | 09:51 |
| oldude67 | i dont think vmware is stock? | 09:52 |
| oldude67 | i had to install mine | 09:52 |
| Polysics | i got it off the repos | 09:52 |
| Polysics | it's in universe | 09:52 |
| flaming | how do I change myname@this-desktop in my bash terminal please? | 09:53 |
| Polysics | no, it is in http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main | 09:53 |
| Polysics | which should be almost official anyway | 09:53 |
| cybergig | meh... could easily fix this problem that I'm having... | 09:53 |
| cybergig | just dont feel like reinstalling everything again ;_; | 09:54 |
| dgjones | Polysics, my upgrade was from a machine that had had a fresh install of fiesty when that was brought out, but had been used daily for the 6 months since then with various changes, that went smoothly, of the other updates, one was an old install, the other was a fairly fresh install, make a backup of you /home just to on the safe side :) | 09:54 |
| Polysics | flaming, what do you mean with change? | 09:54 |
| Polysics | you want to change your name? | 09:54 |
| hatter | does adding noapic have the ability to disable the nics ? | 09:54 |
| flaming | domain name | 09:55 |
| flaming | im in kde | 09:55 |
| zhaozhou | flaming, do you mean the PS1-variable? | 09:56 |
| flaming | I want to change the desktopname-desktop | 09:56 |
| Polysics | oh, that one | 09:56 |
| zhaozhou | flaming, the hostname? | 09:57 |
| flaming | yes, hostname :-) | 09:57 |
| zhaozhou | flaming, hostname <hostname>, then - to get it temporary, ask some guy where the hostname-file is | 09:57 |
| zhaozhou | flaming, cuz i dont use ubuntu (; | 09:57 |
| dgjones | !hostname | flaming | 09:58 |
| ubotu | flaming: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 09:58 |
| zhaozhou | /etc/hostname, right. THat was hard. | 09:58 |
| maxagaz | is there somewhere an apt:// address to install linux-restricted-modules ? | 09:59 |
| maxagaz | to give to a friend | 09:59 |

| Kalamansi | hello firestarter is already running.. but i need to put a dns to pc2 so that pc2 can connect to the internet.. pc1 server ubuntu 7.10 desktop is my server.. how to connect pc2 in the internet without assigning a dns to pc2? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | pteague: does that work in thunderbird ? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: what ? | 10:10 |
| === Task is now known as Tasks | ||
| Kalamansi | ikonia : pc2 have dns and that dns is given by my isp.. so i assign pc2 a dns, ip, and gateway of the box... how to connect pc2 without putting a dns,ip or gateway? | 10:11 |
| pteague | ikonia> i doubt it's exactly the same... i'm guessing i'm going to have to modify an ini or config file somewhere, but it should be similar... i'm trying to set layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation to true | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: that statment makes no sense | 10:11 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: your PC will require a the user of a DNS server, an IP address, a subnet mask and a gateway to get out to the internet | 10:12 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : ok... how to connect pc2 (xp home) to the internet without assigning a dns of my isp?my server ubuntu is static. | 10:12 |
| ikonia | the "use" that should read, not user | 10:12 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: you need to point the XP box at a valid dns server, | 10:13 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : i see.. so how about putting a dns in firefox and IE ? | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: dns has nothing to do with firefox/ie - dns is used by your operating system | 10:13 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : a proxy server i mean | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: yes you can put a proxy server in, providing your XP machine has network access to it | 10:13 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : im afraid to put my isp's dns.. im afraid to get disconnected to the net if someone will flood my dns... | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: that is your own personal conern then, but most ISP's have resilient and secure set ups | 10:14 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : how to put a proxy? i am running a firestarter and its so good application | 10:14 |
| ikonia | concern | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: firestarter is a front end to a firewall, nothing more, not a proxy service or dns service | 10:14 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : i see.. is it okay to run a proxy server while running a firestarter? | 10:14 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: firestart is a firewall - proxy servers are proxy servers, they are two different tools. You can run both togeher providing you modify your firewall rules to allow the use of the proxy | 10:15 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : so do i need a proxy server? if i need a proxy server, do i need to assign also an ip,gateway and dns to my pc2? and then proxy server to firefox and IE ? | 10:15 |

| ubotu | 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+) | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: your PC will require 1.) an ip address 2.) a subnetmask 3.) use of a DNS server 4.) a default gateway | 10:16 |
| pteague | ikonia> found it... prefs.js will let you set stuff that's in about:config, but you have to know what it is you're setting | 10:16 |
| Kalamansi | ikonia : okay.. so is it okay to put my isp's dns to pc2? | 10:16 |
| ikonia | Kalamansi: why don't you phone them and ask them if you're worried | 10:17 |

| ikonia | infidel: there are a few issues with the intel wirless drivers in general | 10:52 |
| ikonia | infidel: mostly random drop outs/loss of wirless extensions | 10:53 |
| Darkhack | darksky0: use "cd" to get to the directory and then type "./program.bin". The dot-slash signifies the current directory. | 10:53 |
| darksky0 | 10_i386 type of file :S lol... uploaded plesk | 10:53 |
| infidel | ikonia, exactly what i get | 10:53 |

| ikonia | infidel: sorry it's not better | 10:54 |

| boken1010 | is there a way to prevent my ubunto from scanning the system at start up due to unproper unmount ? (the scan process freezes and i can't get into the system !) | 11:05 |
| boken1010 | is there some code to add at the startup or sometihng ? | 11:05 |
| gerro | boken1010: you can press a button to skip pass it I think | 11:05 |
| ikonia | boken1010: there is a startup script, but if it's haning it probably means there is a problem with your file system | 11:06 |
| darksky0 | in the manual it says "# swsoft_installer_v3.3.0_build071228.14_os_Ubuntu_7.10_x86_64" | 11:06 |
| gerro | boken1010: I would be more concerned as to why its freezing though might be hard drive error or something with the file system | 11:06 |
| darksky0 | I'm not very good with the command line yet | 11:06 |
| ikonia | darksky0: ./swsoft_installer_v3.3.0_build071228.14_os_Ubuntu_7.10_x86_64 | 11:06 |
| boken1010 | gerro .. it's been like that ever since i installed the system. usually i would run a scan through the rescue CD and that would fix it .. but this time it just won't | 11:07 |
| gerro | darksky0: did you chmod +x it first? | 11:07 |
| darksky0 | oh ok, pemission denied ^^'' | 11:07 |
| ikonia | darksky0: ls -la swsoft_installer_v3.3.0_build071228.14_os_Ubuntu_7.10_x86_64 | 11:07 |
| darksky0 | wow this damn command line is for pros | 11:08 |
| darksky0 | done it!! :D | 11:08 |
| gerro | darksky0: oops guess you did, umm not running it as root to install? | 11:08 |
| darksky0 | done chmod +x ... | 11:08 |

| boken1010 | ikonia ... imagine it froze every time it enforced that 30 boots scan :S it's really driving me nuts | 11:08 |
| darksky0 | and then wrote ./swsoft_installer_v3.3.0_build071228.14_os_Ubuntu_7.10_x86_64 | 11:08 |
| cwillu | darksky0, somebody's mentioned tab completion already right? | 11:08 |

| ikonia | boken1010: you have a problem then | 11:09 |
| darksky0 | tab completion? | 11:09 |
| cohonen | hey guys | 11:09 |
| cwillu | darksky0, retype ls -la swsof<tab> | 11:09 |
| boken1010 | ikonia .. any ideas on how to fix it ? right now i would be glad just to be able to log into my system to copy my files to a safe place | 11:09 |
| gerro | darksky0: yeah type first 2 letters or so of name than hit tab should display the rest if its only file there | 11:09 |
| cwillu | darksky0, assuming that the ls command actually found something | 11:09 |
| cohonen | how do i see which version of a package corresponds to which realese of the package tree | 11:10 |
| josh__ | hello i have installed ubuntu on my laptop and for some reason hybernate and suspend doesnt work, doesnt anyone know what i could try and do to fix this ? | 11:10 |
| cohonen | eg , if i want qt version 4.4 how do i know if it is in testing or unstable or ??? | 11:10 |
| boken1010 | ikonia that's why i want to avoid the scan. to be able to at least log into my system. a live CD wouldn't do it since i'm on an AMD machine which means ubuntu live won't work | 11:10 |

| boken1010 | so .. how do i avoid the system scan at boot ? is there sometihng i could type into GRUB or so ? | 11:13 |
| anna__ | #uni-ks | 11:13 |
| gerro | zoom: I don't know if it has anything measurable it can do better. Its probably just opinion like Ziroday says. | 11:14 |
| gerro | zoom: there's also dpkg I usually do dpkg -i to install packages I've downloaded not from the traditional or added repositories then if they need dependencies go into synaptic and do fix broken and apply | 11:14 |
| cohonen | anyone ? | 11:15 |
| boken1010 | how do i avoid the system scan at boot ? is there sometihng i could type into GRUB or so ? | 11:15 |
| gerro | boken1010: I'd try a hunch and do ctrl c | 11:15 |
| darksky0 | yay seems to be working now, didn't show some errors like before :D | 11:15 |
| cohonen | boken1010: its a a option on the fs | 11:15 |
| cohonen | you can set it with the uhmm filesystem conf tool thing | 11:16 |
| darksky0 | yay FINALLY INSTALLED! :D Thank yo uvery much! :D | 11:16 |
| boken1010 | cohonen any ideas on how can i do it when i can't log into my system ? | 11:16 |

| cohonen | boken1010: not sure its a good ide | 11:17 |
| cohonen | a | 11:17 |
| cohonen | better let it rn and then turn it of afterwards | 11:17 |
| boken1010 | cohonen, believe me it's a good idea when i cna't even log into my system cause the scan freezes | 11:17 |
| cohonen | aghh | 11:17 |
| cohonen | crap | 11:17 |
| boken1010 | *can't | 11:17 |
| x86_ | I have removed madwifi packages on accident, I need serious help | 11:17 |

| Darkhack | What file system are you even using? | 11:18 |
| cohonen | scan shouldnt freeze | 11:18 |
| cohonen | elmme guess, ext3 | 11:18 |
| cohonen | anyway , i havent time for doing support , just getting support | 11:18 |

| boken1010 | gerro . i think there should be some script that can be typed into GRUB | 11:22 |
| gerro | boken1010: could try holding ctrl and hitting most all keys. that tactic seems to work trying to find boot menu for most bios (except hit f keys) | 11:22 |
| ikonia | boken1010: there are no grub scripts | 11:22 |
| gerro | boken1010: yeah but that would make it permanent and might not be good idea | 11:22 |
| boken1010 | gerro.. i can reverse it at any time ? can't it ? | 11:23 |
| gerro | boken1010: you could try mounting your drive from the live cd and doing a scan from there perhaps it would work | 11:23 |
| boken1010 | already tried that gerro. and the scan just works smoothly (fixes something small though). then i reboot and there we go again | 11:23 |
| boken1010 | it tells me the system wasn't cleanly unmounted. and enforces a scan which evantually freezes | 11:24 |
| gerro | boken1010: and it just did this out of nowhere or you recently installed/reinstalled ubuntu? | 11:24 |
| moad | anyone got experiance with Valknut ? | 11:24 |
| boken1010 | gerro, it used to freeze ever since the first day i installed the system (everytime after these routine 30 boots scans). and i used to fix it ALWAYS through the alternate CD. | 11:25 |
| onats | is there anyway to make an ubuntu server the domain controller of windows boxes? | 11:25 |

| cohonen | grrr | 11:26 |
| gerro | boken1010: hmm is your bios doing any sort of hard drive emulation? | 11:26 |

| gerro | boken1010: well my laptop and this newer pc I've been working on use a sort of emulation so they can deal with their specific hard drive type and others that normally wouldn't be supported. Really though anything about your hard drive in bios might be helpful to know. | 11:28 |

| Xintruder | ikonia: there is a temp fix, isn't there? | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: you also told me in your forum post that you'd already done it, so you know how to do it | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: no | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: you can install the plugin manually | 11:36 |
| Xintruder | ikonia: I did it before I formatted my laptop. | 11:36 |
| lassesandberg44 | i have ubuntu 7.10. im trying to get my webcam to work. when i do lsusb in terminal it shows up with the right name and everything. but i need to find it where in /dev it is. so i can set that up in the program im trying to view it with. etc the program as default says /dev/video0, but im pretty sure thats not the one | 11:36 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: do it again | 11:36 |
| Milux | hi, can i pubblicate a web site on worpress or it's support only blog? | 11:36 |
| cybergig | ............. | 11:36 |
| cybergig | Damn it all to hell | 11:36 |
| boken1010 | gerro, i do .. but would the alternate cd support it ? | 11:36 |
| Milux | wordpress* sorry | 11:36 |
| Xintruder | ikonia: lol... If I remembered the commands I would without asking! | 11:37 |
| cybergig | -.- I'm going to reformat linux and start all over that will fix this retarded problem. | 11:37 |
| boken1010 | gerro, i mean would it recognize the usb ? | 11:37 |
| Xintruder | cybergig: that worked with me | 11:37 |
| gerro | boken1010: if you can't run the livecd to edit it you could run a smaller livecd perhaps damnsmall linux or remove the hard drive and put it in another computer that can support a live cd | 11:37 |
| boken1010 | gerro, i'm on a laptop. i cannot remove the HD | 11:38 |
| cybergig | reinstalling everything is hell to begin with on every format that is done.. | 11:38 |
| gerro | boken1010: some laptops make it easy to remove | 11:38 |
| cybergig | big hassle.. | 11:38 |
| bazhang | Milux: not really an ubuntu question; wordpress has some forums iirc | 11:38 |
| Xintruder | !flash > ikonia | 11:38 |
| boken1010 | gerro and i got no other computers around | 11:38 |
| gerro | boken1010: ah let me dump some files off my usb and try an fdisk then | 11:38 |
| Xintruder | found it! :D | 11:38 |
| bazhang | Xintruder: that is a workaround only | 11:39 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: I know about flash, why are you sending me that ? | 11:39 |
| Xintruder | ikonia: I thought you said there was no fix. This is temp fix I asked for! | 11:39 |
| boken1010 | gerro, i think i should just disable the sacen (later on i can reverse my choice .. i guess). i would save my files first. and reboot. and it owuld be a clean unmount | 11:39 |
| bazhang | Xintruder: ikonia is kinda busy; if you want to spam someone then let it be me :} | 11:40 |
| ikonia | Xintruder: there is no fix, and I told you, you can download it manually, but that will not fix the issues with the flash 10 plugin | 11:40 |
| boken1010 | gerro, after that i would have all the GUI tools and options to work in the problem. in addition, i would be on the syatem itself. that way i can get help easier | 11:40 |
| Xintruder | ok :( | 11:40 |
| gerro | boken1010: ah darn guess I was wrong its only when formatting hard drives it does that, ooh hang on I got this old 2gb hard drive | 11:41 |
| gerro | boken1010: how you getting online now anyway? | 11:41 |
| boken1010 | i have a vista installed on the same laptop (though i haven't almost used it since the day i got the laptop) | 11:42 |
| gerro | boken1010: what laptop model is it bit curious | 11:43 |
| boken1010 | gerro, it's an hp Pavilion6448se | 11:43 |
| kbrooks | question, is there a disk clean up tool for Ubuntu? | 11:44 |
| bazhang | for fragmentation? | 11:44 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: clean up what sort of data | 11:44 |
| dgjones | !defrag | kbrooks | 11:44 |
| ubotu | kbrooks: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 11:44 |
| kbrooks | bazhang, hah, no | 11:45 |
| kbrooks | dgjones, CLEAN UP, not defrag | 11:45 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: what sort of data | 11:45 |
| bazhang | umm okay... | 11:45 |
| kbrooks | ikonia, um, packages etc. | 11:45 |
| hk2999 | why does ubuntu need to fsck itself every 30 or so boots? | 11:45 |
| hk2999 | i mean shouldn't it need defragging? | 11:45 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: cleaning up packages is managed through apt | 11:45 |
| kbrooks | hk2999, disk checking | 11:46 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: other file systems - no | 11:46 |
| gerro | boken1010: my cousins new laptop is like one model number off I think so hopefully he doesn't get the same problem | 11:46 |
| kbrooks | ikonia, sigh, i use ext3 | 11:46 |
| IdleOne | kbrooks: autoclean and autoremove in apt | 11:46 |
| ikonia | kbrooks file system was the wrong phrase, sorry | 11:46 |
| ikonia | kbrooks: the package managment tool will clean packages from the system, but other directories are not controlled by any tool that could do file system alterations | 11:46 |

| b0ha | MindSpark, it is connected on ethernet | 12:21 |
| dusty-sts | How can i check to see what is blocking my soundcard from xmms? | 12:21 |

| b0ha | probably is router build in im not sure | 12:21 |

| Quicksilva | Does anyone know how to change the subtitles size of mplayer in ubuntu? | 12:21 |
| MindSpark | depends on which interface you have | 12:22 |

| zoidberg_ | guys i'm having trouble downloading anjuat from the terminal | 12:24 |
| _nmap | works* | 12:24 |
| MindSpark | b0ha, it's a dsl router with a built-in switch | 12:24 |
| zoidberg_ | when i type sudo apt-get install anjuta it says cannot find file | 12:24 |
| MindSpark | b0ha, give it a try, as root type: dhclient eth0 | 12:25 |
| bazhang | !info anjuta | 12:25 |

| ct529 | dgjones: thanks I am looking into it | 12:25 |

| Darkmystere | no lol i had it installed via wubi and now disks are missing... | 12:38 |
| MindSpark | oh, you needed a backup :P | 12:39 |
| ikonia | Darkmystere: wubi is not supported by ubuntu | 12:39 |
| randomwalker | openoffice is so annoying | 12:39 |
| MindSpark | what's wubi ? a baby version of ruby ? :P | 12:39 |
| Darkmystere | im never gunna use a wubi install what program does safe partioning? | 12:39 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: a propriaty installer | 12:39 |
| randomwalker | it seems to have the philosophy of getting in your way as much as possible | 12:39 |
| hk2999 | randomwalker: well you can improve it's ui if you want to | 12:39 |
| ikonia | Darkmystere: the ubuntu installer will offer you a partition tool | 12:39 |
| MindSpark | ahuh | 12:39 |
| hk2999 | thats the whole point of opensource right | 12:39 |
| Darkmystere | its not safe partioning | 12:39 |
| Darkmystere | tried it 12 times | 12:39 |
| Darkmystere | killed windows and ubuntu at same time | 12:40 |
| Darkmystere | >.> | 12:40 |
| ikonia | Darkmystere: creating partitions = safe resizing windows partitions = a risk in any tool | 12:40 |

| ikonia | Darkmystere: ask in ##windows for windows software | 12:41 |
| Darkmystere | im guna give ubuntu 65/80Gb lol | 12:41 |
| ikonia | !lol | Darkmystere | 12:41 |
| ubotu | Darkmystere: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 12:41 |
| MindSpark | Darkmystere, to avoid needless backups, make sure you partition those 65 well | 12:41 |
| Darkmystere | cy | 12:41 |
| Odd-rationale | What is the equivilent command line for "complete remove" package in Synaptic? | 12:41 |
| MindSpark | Darkmystere, set some space for /, some for /usr and some for /home maybe | 12:41 |
| Pici | Odd-rationale: apt-get remove --purge packagename | 12:42 |
| ikonia | Odd-rationale: apt-get remove or remove --purge | 12:42 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: seperate /usr ? | 12:42 |
| Odd-rationale | Pici, ikonia: Thanks! | 12:42 |
| Odd-rationale | Pici: Will aptitude work as well? | 12:42 |
| MindSpark | ikonia, yea, sometimes you might want to have a place for all the programs alone. | 12:42 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: that methodolgy died years ago | 12:43 |
| Pici | Odd-rationale: yeah, but its `aptitude purge package` then | 12:43 |
| Odd-rationale | Pici: OK! | 12:43 |
| MindSpark | ikonia, yea ? why so ? | 12:43 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: because disks are bigger than 2 gig now | 12:43 |
| MindSpark | ikonia, yea, but sometimes you would want to replace the place where you have your programs with a larger volume still. | 12:44 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: why ? | 12:44 |
| roshan | Hi All, is there any command or software to restart my modem? I have a broadband connection. I can restart it from its web interface but i want a command or software to do it. | 12:44 |

| MindSpark | let's say I am on 20 Gigs, and I fill'em up with whatever nonsense proggies | 12:44 |

| MindSpark | ikonia, yea, I guess. I just still have the picture in my mind since mandrake 8 | 12:45 |
| MindSpark | of the installer that is | 12:45 |
| ikonia | MindSpark: as I said, that methodology died years ago for non-enterprise systems | 12:45 |

| marko-_- | does ubuntu has someting like disk defragmenter | 12:59 |
| marko-_- | ? | 12:59 |
| ZaZ | I think that ext3 don't need desfragmenter | 12:59 |
| Pici | marko-_-: Its generally not needed, ext3 is more effecient than Windows formats. | 12:59 |
| erawfish | while it does for most filesystems it's very very rarely needed | 12:59 |
| * larswey agrees | 12:59 | |
| astro76 | !defrag | marko-_- | 12:59 |
| ubotu | marko-_-: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 13:00 |
| erawfish | ZaZ: there are corner cases which do | 13:00 |
| erawfish | but even if fragmented, ext3 copes better than windows | 13:00 |
| larswey | windows or ntfs? | 13:00 |

| dgjones | !brokenflash | goodhabit | 13:18 |
| ubotu | goodhabit: 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. | 13:18 |

| ikonia | DarthBuh: ahh, I don't support dmraid as fake raid technology is not good under any unix platform | 13:24 |

| bazhang | aniac: you may have to register first | 13:25 |

| DarthBuh | I don't understand why fdisk is showing partitions, but then mkfs cannot find them | 13:32 |
| bauer_ | does ubuntu support spamassasin ? | 13:32 |
| ikonia | bauer_: there is apackage for it yes | 13:32 |
| marvin_mr | duudii: i isntalled ati catalyst and restricted drived, but after restart screen goes blank when x is started. | 13:33 |
| koen | hk2999 it is v0.09, does that means it is running? | 13:33 |
| hk2999 | mine is No support for device type: thermal so i guess yours work | 13:33 |

| koen | tahnks | 13:34 |
| DarthBuh | and why does Gparted close every single time you do anything at all? | 13:34 |

| koen | what version is it? and what version of Ubuntu you have | 13:35 |
| DarthBuh | Gparted 0.3.3-2ubuntu6, and Ubuntu 7.10 | 13:35 |

| hk2999 | gparted DarthBuh | 13:37 |
| ikonia | DarthBuh: gparted | 13:37 |
| kane_ | Darkhack, gparted | 13:37 |
| koen | DarthBuh, you can always use the LiveCD of Gparted, google for it. It is the safest way to partition your drives in my opinion | 13:37 |
| marvin_mr | duudii: latest, yes. i had to reconfigure to select vesa, othewise i cannor use ubuntu. | 13:37 |
| DarthBuh | Soz | 13:37 |
| DarthBuh | I meant Filesystem | 13:37 |
| DarthBuh | You guys are so fast though >.< | 13:37 |
| kane_ | gui filesystem? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | DarthBuh: gparted can be used to put file systems on | 13:38 |
| DarthBuh | and Gparted doesn't support RAID | 13:38 |
| marvin_mr | duudii: this is good news, though :) with previous driver things simply crashed. | 13:38 |
| DarthBuh | every time I try to put a filesystem into my fdisk created partitions, Gparted wipes them out | 13:38 |

| duudii | ? | 13:40 |
| dgjones | DarthBuh, are you modifying a mounted partition or have you unmounted the partition? | 13:40 |
| ikonia | DarthBuh: possibly because its fakeraid | 13:40 |
| DarthBuh | It's fakeraid | 13:41 |
| marvin_mr | duudii: is that installed after i select "restricted drivers" and wait for download to finish? | 13:41 |
| DarthBuh | The partition has never been mounted | 13:41 |
| ikonia | DarthBuh: so ? | 13:41 |
| duudii | marvin_mr: you could also install the driver again, using method 2 on this site http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 13:41 |

| Trae | Spee_Der, you are better off simply not offering help. Thanks though. | 13:59 |

| Trae | Spee_Der, seriously..... this channel has a history of great help from people like Crimsun, bob2 others... if all you have to do is offer someone to look at the man pages, then perhaps you should just stay quiet. | 14:05 |
| Spee_Der | Gearsmith, I've been looking for some nice simulator stuff, but it going to be awhile.... | 14:05 |
| th0r | Spee_Der Trae i don't think locate can do what you want. it searches a database, not a path, so you can't tell it to just search part of the drive | 14:05 |

| junix-work | i just installed ubuntu 7.10 server, i don't know my root password. I never entered. is it blank? | 14:09 |
| Pici | !root | junix-work | 14:09 |
| plutarcus | why and how can i solve? | 14:09 |
| ubotu | junix-work: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:09 |
| Trae | th0r, thanks though you got me what I needed mate, I had a brain fart, not sure why I didn't think to grep the output derrr.. | 14:09 |

| junix-work | i can su to root, right? | 14:10 |

| junix-work | k | 14:11 |
| DarthBuh | Interesting | 14:11 |
| duudii | junix-work: yep, but its better to use 'sudo' | 14:11 |

| ikonia | Tilllinux: samba.org has some stunning documents (I'm reading one at the moment funy enough) | 14:18 |
| Tilllinux | okay thanks! | 14:18 |

| mraudsepp | Hello. How can I get a 64bit kernel to work for an otherwise 32bit system install? I need to chroot into a 64bit system, but 7.10 doesn't seem to have a linux-image-amd64-generic and linux-image-generic gets me booted into a 32bit kernel per uname -m (and inability to chroot to 64bit system) | 14:25 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: you can't | 14:25 |
| rexy_ | i upgrade from amd 64 to amd X2, now freq scaling doesnt work anymore. Do i need to change to a different kernel since i went from single to dual core? | 14:25 |
| _nix_ | Lartza_: you connect to the interenet from just abt any port.. | 14:25 |
| hk2999 | wow. thats the first guy i see banned here. | 14:26 |
| goldsniper | ikonia, i mean i tried to follow guides from the forum and the documentayion with still fail | 14:26 |
| mraudsepp | ikonia, what do you mean I can't? Does it mean I have to build my own kernel? | 14:26 |
| goldsniper | how to do internet sharing in ubuntu? | 14:26 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: you can't run a 64 bit kernel on a 32bit machine | 14:26 |
| Lartza_ | but if i set some porgram to listen port 80 and notify me when it has activity does it only notify when people connect to my server? | 14:26 |
| ikonia | goldsniper: iptables, or a proxy service like squid | 14:26 |
| mraudsepp | ikonia, I have a 64bit machine with a 32bit installation of edubuntu... | 14:26 |
| goldsniper | if i do not use frestater | 14:26 |
| peppo | how to install ping for an alternate 7.10 install? need to check if networking works. getting stuck at 6% at "Select and install software" on PS3. | 14:26 |
| Lartza_ | or blink every time when i connect some website? | 14:26 |
| goldsniper | iptables? | 14:26 |
| _nix_ | Lartza_: yup | 14:27 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: you have a 32bit install - you cannot run 64bit software | 14:27 |
| Lartza_ | because i know netgames use different ports | 14:27 |
| Polysics | when upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10, do you usually keep or substitue config files? | 14:27 |
| Lartza_ | ok | 14:27 |
| rexy_ | goldsniper: yes, firestarter is a program you can use to configure it | 14:27 |
| dynacrylic | pici, it says "unable to lookup name using gethostby()" | 14:27 |
| mraudsepp | ikonia, which is why I want to chroot into a 64bit install. | 14:27 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: you can't do that | 14:27 |
| rexy_ | goldsniper: but everything related to the firewall or nat is done through iptables | 14:27 |
| Lartza_ | it blinks all the time then? | 14:27 |
| Polysics | iptables is still what is really doing the internet sharing | 14:27 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: as the running kernel will still be 32bit | 14:27 |
| DarthBuh | and I get "The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in LVM VG sil_aiabbjceffca, LV sil_aiabbjceffca at none failed. You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu." | 14:27 |
| dynacrylic | or something close to that gethostby | 14:27 |
| mraudsepp | but that can be only done if the kernel is 64bit, and that is possible on a 32bit system. | 14:27 |
| Pici | dynacrylic: Did you modify your /etc/hostname ? | 14:27 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: it's not possible | 14:27 |
| dynacrylic | pici, should i? | 14:27 |
| _nix_ | Lartza_: blinks?? the lights?? yeah they blink on all outgoing/incoming data | 14:27 |
| Pici | dynacrylic: I'm asking if you did in the past. | 14:28 |
| anarchris | hey guys, I've noticed that logs are again available on irseek, whats up with that? Are the bots identifiable now? | 14:28 |
| chazco | Trying to decide if its worth moving to 64bit (hardware already supports it)... | 14:28 |
| dynacrylic | pici, i modified the /etc/hosts cause someone else told me to | 14:28 |
| ikonia | chazco: do you need it ? would you use the benifits ? | 14:28 |
| dynacrylic | but I made a backup before i made the changes. already reverted to the backup though | 14:28 |
| mraudsepp | ikonia, it is. I have done it on different distributions and earlier ubuntu versions had a linux-image-amd64-generic package that allowed to do exactly what I'm trying to do successfully for some people per google. | 14:28 |
| chazco | I'm unsure currently... it depends on what the benefits are... i'm told Virtualbox takes advantage of it | 14:28 |
| user11_011 | Pici: in installed xscreensaver-data-extra . how do i use it? | 14:28 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: your welcome to think what you wish, but with a 32bit kernel running you will not be able to run any 64bit programs | 14:29 |
| Pici | user11_011: It just gets added to your screensavers automagically. | 14:29 |
| chazco | It also depends on whether 32-bit stuff runs eaisly on 64-bit (to take out incompatabilitys etc) | 14:29 |
| mraudsepp | ikonia, my question was precisely HOW can I install a 64bit kernel to my 7.10 edubuntu systme. | 14:29 |
| user11_011 | Pici : nope .nothings changed. preferences->screensavers | 14:29 |
| Pici | dynacrylic: If you only changed /etc/hosts to change your hostname and not also /etc/hostname, then you have locked yourself out of using sudo. | 14:29 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: you can't put a 64bit kernel on a 32bit system wihtout a lot of messing around | 14:29 |
| mraudsepp | the description of linux-generic says it's x86/x86_64 | 14:29 |
| chazco | mraudsepp - To the best of my knowledge you can only reinstall, not upgrade, to 64 bit | 14:29 |
| dynacrylic | pici, oh | 14:30 |
| _nix_ | mraudsepp: you need to install ubuntu 64 bit for that.. it ain't just the kernel | 14:30 |
| ikonia | mraudsepp: your miss-reading the description | 14:30 |

| DarthBuh | I think I just mad it angry.. | 14:30 |
| Pici | user11_011: you may need to kill the xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver process, it should restart it automatically. | 14:30 |
| Pici | !hostname | dynacrylic | 14:30 |
| ubotu | dynacrylic: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 14:30 |
| dynacrylic | pici, that would explain why when i've been trying to sudo things i keep getting the gathostbyname() errors? | 14:30 |
| Pici | dynacrylic: yes. | 14:30 |
| gumpish | scroll lock doesn't seem to change anything | 14:30 |
| mraudsepp | no, it's not just the kernel. I get the rest from a chroot. | 14:30 |
| Pici | dynacrylic: I suggest booting from a live CD and correcting those two files/ | 14:31 |

| ikonia | !flashissue > Gearsmith | 14:37 |
| Gearsmith | YouTube videos with Gnash suck. | 14:37 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: check the pm from ubotu | 14:37 |
| BlackSunrise | Gearsmith. mine did the same thing, i had to restart the computer... | 14:37 |
| anarchris | chazco: the flash player is responsible for buffering so it is to blame | 14:37 |
| chazco | According to this i'm getting video download at a massive 7KB/s | 14:37 |
| cleaton | Gearsmith, have you installed it recently? | 14:37 |
| anarchris | probably the youtube flash player wasn't tested properly with Gnash | 14:38 |
| Gearsmith | YEah. | 14:38 |
| chazco | wait... kyle_ - On AOL by any chance? | 14:38 |
| === TMM_ is now known as TMM | ||
| cleaton | well, i guess you got the informaton from ubot | 14:38 |
| Gearsmith | Yeah, thanks. | 14:38 |
| anarchris | chazco, maybe gnash sends a user agent string to youtube and youtube does the traffic shaping | 14:39 |
| chazco | anarchris - I'm using Adobe flash player | 14:39 |
| === johanna is now known as Jannita | ||
| cleaton | hi, how can i change the color that i can see after i have entered my username and password in gdm and pressed login? the orange color dosen't fit with the rest of my theme' | 14:39 |
| anarchris | chazco, standalone? it sends a different user-agent than Firefox, youtube can identify it also | 14:40 |
| chazco | Nope, in Firefox | 14:40 |
| Gearsmith | THere's not a bug in installing. I can install it just fine. But Firefox doesn't seem to read that I have it installed. | 14:40 |
| kyle_ | chazco yeah i'm on aol mate :o | 14:41 |
| cleaton | Gearsmith, i know, we can all install just fine, but the package dosen't work | 14:41 |
| chazco | Ah... that makes it interesting... | 14:41 |
| cleaton | !flash | 14:41 |
| 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 | 14:41 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 14:41 |
| anarchris | chazco: try to install the Live http headers plugin in firefox and see if the flash player goes through firefox or by itself | 14:42 |
| _nix_ | can I update a ubuntu hoary installation directly to fiesty? | 14:42 |
| dasprid | hey i have some big problems with my 64 bit ubuntu installation. since 30 minutes the main menu of gnome doesnt display any icons anymore, and the userspecific system properties won't be saved anymore | 14:42 |

| anarchris | chazco: basicaly it can either be something in the player or something on YouTube that doesn't like your player | 14:44 |
| Gearsmith | What does everyone use now for playing YouTube videos? Gnash? | 14:44 |
| chazco | I suspect it may be something to do with AOL | 14:44 |
| chazco | Gearsmith - I use Adobe flash but am having a few issues | 14:44 |
| _nix_ | Gearsmith: I use adobe flash | 14:44 |
| BlackSunrise | do you need a virus scanner on linux? | 14:44 |
| cleaton | Gearsmith, well, if you really need adobe flash, there is a .deb file you can install in that forumpost | 14:44 |
| ikonia | BlackSunrise: no, unless your running a mails server | 14:44 |

| anarchris | chazco: do you only have problems on youtube or with all flash videos? | 14:45 |
| javb | guys, i cant drag icons on my desktop, are kind of locked their position.. any ideas? ... another thing is that when i click on the desktop, the sticky note used to hide, now it doesnt... | 14:45 |

| kyle_ | yeah same here chazco it's been annoying me for months | 14:46 |
| cleaton | chazco, might be that aol has some videos in their proxy cache | 14:46 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: dude.. you can turn that off.. that winamp -> irc thing | 14:46 |
| BlackSunrise | well i have a icon on my desktop called expansion.. it is from installing my LOD cd.. and when i DO put in my lod cd, it adds another one to my desktop.. how do i get rid of that first one? | 14:46 |
| chazco | Perhaps its a peering issue then... guess its not Ubuntu then | 14:46 |
| Loki0480 | could someone help me with a grub issue | 14:46 |
| Loki0480 | ?? | 14:46 |
| kyle_ | maybe it'll be worth email aol chazco :o | 14:46 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: yeah.. just ask | 14:46 |
| chazco | cleaton - I dont have their proxy enabled though... odd | 14:46 |
| ikonia | Loki0480 don't use plugins for irc in here | 14:46 |
| kyle_ | i might email asking them | 14:46 |
| ikonia | Loki0480: we don't need to see what music your playing | 14:47 |
| Pici | Loki0480: Please disable your now playing script in this channel. | 14:47 |
| chazco | Worth a try kyle_ :) | 14:47 |
| Loki0480 | i'm having an issue with grub error 15 | 14:47 |
| kyle_ | it's pretty annoying :( | 14:47 |
| anarchris | chazco, try using a proxy or socks proxy, if it works better that way, its a problem in the connection | 14:47 |
| Loki0480 | after stage 1.5 | 14:47 |
| Gearsmith | I never understood 32-bit and 64-bit? What do those numbers mean? I have a AMD 64 x2 Processor, does that mean I am 64-bit? | 14:47 |
| javb | Rootsnatch, you mean the "Keep Aligned" option, when you 'right click' on the desktop? (answer: no) | 14:47 |
| cleaton | chazco, well they still have cache servers so they don't have to download a popular file from a server many times | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: that means your hardware would support a s64bit operating system | 14:47 |
| chazco | Gearsmith - Think along the lines of how many bits can be sent round your PC at once... the more the better (in theory) | 14:47 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: doesn't mean your running on e | 14:47 |
| Loki0480 | now i was reading where you could create a restore fdisk | 14:47 |
| anarchris | Gearsmith, its the size of the registers in the CPU - 64 bits - 8 bytes | 14:47 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: that's called a b0rked grub installation. you can fix it by booting the live cd again | 14:47 |
| Gearsmith | How do I find out? | 14:48 |
| Loki0480 | ok i'll try the live | 14:48 |
| chazco | I think you can run lshw and look at the width entry for the CPU | 14:48 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: the ouput you showed me earlier suggested your running a 32bit os | 14:48 |
| Loki0480 | but can the restore fdisk be a cd | 14:48 |
| Gearsmith | The output I showed you earlier? :-o | 14:48 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: to be certain show me uname -i | 14:48 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: just watching what you where saying earlier | 14:48 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: you know what to do once in live cd environment? you can do just about anything in there.. | 14:49 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: even repartitioning | 14:49 |
| Loki0480 | repartitioning? | 14:49 |
| Gearsmith | IN a terminal? | 14:49 |
| kyle_ | chazco before on windows youtube use to run fine with internet explorer:o | 14:49 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: yes please | 14:49 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: me so sorry if I made it too techno.. | 14:49 |
| BlackSunrise | well i have a icon on my desktop called expansion.. it is from installing my LOD cd.. and when i DO put in my lod cd, it adds another one to my desktop.. how do i get rid of that first one? | 14:49 |
| Gearsmith | "unknown" | 14:50 |
| chazco | hmm... kyle_ - did you have the AOL application installed? Or used their CD to set up the connection? | 14:50 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: what you'd like to do is "fix your grub installation" | 14:50 |
| _nix_ | Loki0480: you were runninng ubuntu successfully befire that? | 14:50 |

| BlackSunrise | i thought a .deb file was for debian, not ubuntu.. in that guide you showed me it said .deb files was what i needed.. | 14:51 |

| ikonia | _nix_: it happens ? | 14:52 |
| ubotu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 14:52 |
| dgjones | BlackSunrise, Ubuntu is based on debian | 14:52 |

| Pingu | hm | 14:55 |
| Pingu | where? | 14:56 |
| ikonia | Pingu: google for one | 14:56 |
| BlackSunrise | gearsmith, that's because wine X is for gaming.. | 14:56 |
| BlackSunrise | Wine isn't for gaming.. but i can still play in crap graphix | 14:56 |
| Gearsmith | Uh, what? | 14:56 |
| Gearsmith | ... | 14:56 |
| BlackSunrise | but i heard that wine X was real good but i can't find it from sourceforge for ubuntu. | 14:57 |

| ikonia | cleaton: it's in the theme options | 15:00 |
| ikonia | cleaton: I think..... | 15:00 |
| cleaton | ikonia, i thought so too, but it's not :/ | 15:01 |
| ikonia | cleaton: or default background colour in set a wall paper options | 15:01 |
| ikonia | cleaton: go to change your wall paper and look at the default background colour | 15:01 |
| cleaton | i've changed everycolor i can find to black | 15:01 |
| cleaton | but it's still there | 15:01 |
| Slart | cleaton: I kind of think that the color you're seeing is hardcoded somewhere.. ubuntu brown default or whatever.. | 15:01 |
| kyle_ | am i allowed to post links here? | 15:01 |
| ikonia | Slart it's not hardcoded | 15:02 |
| ikonia | kyle_: is it an ubuntu support related link ? | 15:02 |
| kyle_ | ahh maybe not :( | 15:02 |
| Pingu | can it be a problem that windows is active? | 15:02 |
| ikonia | Pingu: find somewhere that supports your grub application | 15:02 |
| Slart | ikonia: it isn't? I've talked to several people unable to change it.. no amount of theming, backgrounds etc would change it.. but I guess we can call it.. hard-to-configure then =) | 15:02 |
| ethercrow | BlackSunrise: wineX is history, it's not active now. Current projects are wine and cedega and how it was said above, neither of them is perfect | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Slart changed it many times | 15:03 |
| ikonia | Slart it's really obvious once you see it | 15:03 |
| Pingu | or what should i do with 'Error 15' ? | 15:03 |
| ikonia | I think it's in the desktop wall paper options | 15:03 |

| cleaton | did you install windows or something after ubuntu? | 15:04 |
| Slart | ikonia: I'll give it a try.. see what I can find out | 15:04 |
| ikonia | cleaton: he's using a 3rd part app to mess up his grub config | 15:05 |

| Pingu | but i donno how to reinstall it :( | 15:06 |
| cleaton | Pingu, what did you do to get that error in the first place? | 15:06 |
| Slart | ikonia: you're thinking of the "solid color" option in the wallpaper section? | 15:06 |
| ikonia | Slart: not sure | 15:06 |
| MindSpark | BlackSunrise, cat /etc/lsb-release | 15:06 |
| ikonia | Slart: try changing it | 15:06 |
| Pingu | i have XP, and ubuntu 7.10 | 15:06 |

| Chamunks | ali1234, i have a mental design of a little rig ill build to make this go smoothly and quickly but the software is where im lacking. | 15:26 |
| Juhaz | most apps _do not_ steal focus, synaptic is exception, not the rule. | 15:26 |

| Chamunks | ali1234, yeah i think ill leave the page turning up to me but for the most part yeah. | 15:28 |
| edeca | ikonia: How though? The script is broken anyway (I've fixed one function) and it bombs after scanning the repositories saying that it cannot get all information for upgrade | 15:28 |
| Slart | edeca: can't you get the gutsy dvd and add it as a cd repository? | 15:28 |

| ikonia | edeca try changing your sources.list to include the cdrom line, and removing any 3rd party repos then do an upgrade using update manager | 15:29 |

| nottha_k_ | nickrud: that looks promising. thanks | 15:29 |
| Qaldune | whabo because some software lacks support for 64 bit, such as flash plugin | 15:29 |
| edeca | Slart: I tried and it gives all the updates, but is that an acceptable method of upgrade? | 15:29 |
| OsamaK | ikonia: OK, thanks ;) | 15:29 |
| ikonia | fairyEneried: I don't think you can do anything about that | 15:29 |
| nickrud | edeca: if your sources.list point at your local repo, just change them to the next release (dapper->edgy) and dist-upgrade | 15:29 |
| Slart | whabo: for vista.. the 64-bit version still has lots of problems.. for linux.. there are some things that are tricky.. flash.. w32codecs and such .. unless they've fixed it recently | 15:29 |
| edeca | nickrud: Ah, it is that easy then, cheers! | 15:29 |
| nottha_k_ | can i remount the root file system on a live system to turn acls on? | 15:29 |
| Qaldune | whabo anyway, you can use flash plugin on gutsy 64-bit thanks to a plugin wrapper | 15:29 |

| WorkingOnWise | i was installing some packages and the battery dies. How do I get synaptic to finish what it was doing? | 15:30 |

| fairyEneried | ok, then i surrender... i'll place it as a bug on gnome and kde... :( | 15:30 |
| fairyEneried | thanks guys | 15:30 |
| edeca | nottha_k_: Should be. | 15:30 |
| fairyEneried | ;) | 15:30 |
| Chamunks | Well a good number of them are recipe books and such. | 15:30 |
| Slart | XceII: well.. it is still amarok.. but yes.. it works under ubuntu.. | 15:30 |
| VSpike | XceII: I don't have any particular problems with it, so I'd say yes | 15:31 |
| nickrud | ballongen: mostly it's the ati driver that will do that and ubuntu has no control over that blob | 15:31 |
| XceII | K thanks. | 15:31 |
| XceII | I'll try it. | 15:31 |
| ballongen | nickrud: ok, but it worked before? | 15:31 |
| BlackSunrise | How do i get my graphix accelerator working properly? | 15:31 |
| VSpike | XceII: what problems were you referring to specifically, or was it a general question? | 15:31 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, a good chunk of them are recipe books but i also have some encyclopedia britanica and some really old shakespear books. | 15:31 |
| ballongen | ati sucks | 15:31 |
| nickrud | ballongen: same hardware each time? | 15:31 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: seems like it will be a lot of work if you want to preserve the page layout and everything... you will probably have to do most of that by hand | 15:31 |
| ballongen | nickrud: almost, i ahve a new quadcore cpu | 15:31 |
| Slart | ballongen: those kind of statements | 15:32 |
| XceII | I use both kubuntu and ubuntu, Rumor had it that Amarok has issues in ubuntu. | 15:32 |
| ballongen | slart: sorry. | 15:32 |
| Slart | ballongen: those kind of statements don't really add to the discussion... | 15:32 |
| VSpike | XceII: you get some kde-isms like clicking links in the context browser opens konqueror. It's probably possible to correct that, but it has never bugged me enough to try | 15:32 |
| nickrud | ballongen: not sure then. I'm confused easily, though | 15:32 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, well would it be simple-ish to just dump the images into a pdf creator? one per page? | 15:32 |
| XceII | Nice, I'll try it now, Here goes nothing. | 15:32 |
| meez | anyone know what the actual appname for the 'Removable Drives and Media' window in preferences is? gnome-? | 15:33 |
| ballongen | I love ubuntu + compiz, and im recommending it to everyone i know, but its very sadly that ati support isnt good enough | 15:33 |
| * Slart hands ballongen a cookie.. much better ;) | 15:33 | |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: yeah it should be quite easy but you will have to use a bit of shell scripting to do it as suggested before | 15:33 |
| nickrud | rflol Slart | 15:33 |
| ballongen | Slart: do you know a channel that specializes in ATI + dualscreen and so on? | 15:33 |
| NiAk | hi | 15:33 |
| ballongen | the ubuntuchannel does not seem to the the right choice for me. | 15:33 |
| XceII | I'm tempted to try kde4.0..I just am scared deu to that I have alot of time invested in the total build to have to start over. | 15:34 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: you might not be too happy with the result though, it will probably just give you a pdf containing each image... no text search or index or anything like that | 15:34 |
| Slart | ballongen: unfortunately not.. lots of questions about it though | 15:34 |
| VSpike | ballongen: I thnk there is a #ati | 15:34 |

| ali1234 | Chamunks: i have the opposite problem :) | 15:40 |
| ikonia | Leo1989: what do you want to do ? | 15:40 |
| jaggy | Leo1989 for coding c++ i recommend geany | 15:40 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, you want to convert pdfs to hardcopy?? | 15:40 |
| WorkingOnWise | Slart: from apt-get none at all. synaptic says I have to fix broken packages. when I do, it says unable to fix. I have held broken packages. It was downloading when it died, not instaling... | 15:41 |
| rgnr | sound in dosemu doesn't work! | 15:41 |
| Leo1989 | ikonia: I'm gonna to write C++ programs in my favorite IDE. But I can't find Linux version | 15:41 |
| sparkybean | dosnt gcc do c++? | 15:41 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: yeah, and imposition is another thing that can only be done by a cryptic command line tool unless you buy a program to do it | 15:41 |
| rgnr | help | 15:41 |
| Qaldune | if i've got 64-bit version, how do i install the 32-bit version of a package? | 15:41 |
| ikonia | sparkybean: thats a compiler only | 15:41 |
| lemontea | I have problem with my start up/ it say unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. Without the gnome settings manager running, some preference may not take effect. This is indicate a problem with bonobom or a non-gnome(e.g. kde) settings manager may already be active and conficting with gnome settings manager. | 15:41 |
| Juhaz | puargs, the password is stored in gconf, /desktop/gnome/remote_access/vnc_password, it's base64-encoded so you will have to do that to your new password too, can't set it in plaintext format. | 15:41 |
| sparkybean | ah | 15:41 |
| rgnr | anyone uses dosemu? | 15:41 |
| puargs | Juhaz: woo! thank you!! :D | 15:42 |
| VSpike | rgnr: funnily enough i just tried it out for the first time today | 15:42 |
| jaggy | Leo1989: geany is an option , but you need gcc or g++ for compiling it | 15:42 |
| Drk_Guy | ikonia: | 15:42 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, there was a time where i resorted to just resorting all the pages in a pdf so they would print 2 pages per side of the paper and all i did after that was flipped the paper once done on the one side and the other pdf (other half of the document) on the other side | 15:42 |
| Leo1989 | Imo Dev-C++ is the best. At least for me | 15:42 |
| Drk_Guy | ikonia: Doesnt work | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drk_Guy: The problem you are having sounds like one that a person who installed things from outside the official repos or used a script (Automatix or envy) that did. Now versions and dependencies are out of sync. | 15:43 |
| ikonia | Drk_Guy: have you built a proper repo ? | 15:43 |
| Drk_Guy | ikonia: it keeps on downloading stuff | 15:43 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, than folded and binded it which was a task i am never looking forward to repeating. | 15:43 |
| WorkingOnWise | Slart: wierd. I just hit "mark all upgrades, then apply, and now its working..... | 15:43 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, i think ill just skip all that next time and just buy one of those kindle things. | 15:43 |
| Drk_Guy | I just downloaded those files from another pc like one week ago | 15:43 |
| edeca | nickrud: Thanks, worked. Let's see if it reboots. | 15:43 |
| rgnr | VSpike: did you make sound work? | 15:43 |
| Drk_Guy | And i dont wait to redownload those debs | 15:43 |
| Drk_Guy | So i just set-up my own personal repo with that | 15:44 |
| VSpike | rgnr: ah. Sorry, didn't even try | 15:44 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: yes "resorting" is called "imposition" :) | 15:44 |
| Drk_Guy | In my home folder | 15:44 |
| Drk_Guy | But it keeps downloading from official repos | 15:44 |
| boguz | i have another question: i installed my ubuntu 7.10 from the alternateCD. and now i can not make "su". it says "authentication failure". but the "sudo" will work. why is it i cannot make "su". it should be the same password... ? | 15:44 |
| Drk_Guy | How can i force it to download from local repos? | 15:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drk_Guy: different user name on the files you copied perhaps ... check the permissions on one of the files you copied | 15:44 |
| sparkybean | boduz: do sudo passwd root | 15:44 |
| sparkybean | (boguz even) | 15:45 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, :P alas i have done no research in that department :P | 15:45 |
| rgnr | VSpike: dammit there's no support channel or forum even (( | 15:45 |
| randomwalker | boguz: sudo bash will give you a root shell | 15:45 |
| XceII | VSpike: With amarok: do the same libs work as the ones in kubuntu? | 15:45 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: i sometimes will print PDF manuals for people when they lost them or whatever :) | 15:45 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, but good to know ill bank that info for sure. | 15:45 |
| boguz | hey, it worked the "sudo passwd root". THANKX! | 15:45 |
| boguz | :) | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drk_Guy: Sorry, just waking up.. have not had my coffee.. Will shut up for now | 15:45 |
| sparkybean | boguz: np :D | 15:45 |
| Chamunks | well thats allways handy | 15:45 |
| Drk_Guy | kk Jack_Sparrow | 15:45 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, well thats allways handy. | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rootsupport | 15:46 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rootsupport - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:46 |
| jrib | boguz: that's completely unnecessary and not recommended | 15:46 |
| rgnr | PPL ANYONE USES DOSEMU? | 15:46 |
| jrib | !caps | rgnr | 15:46 |
| ubotu | rgnr: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 15:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jrib: I forgot he trigger for that. | 15:46 |
| mannytu | !sudo | 15:46 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 15:46 |
| VSpike | XceII: yeah, i think so | 15:46 |
| XceII | k | 15:46 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, whats a software title would you need for the impositioning process? | 15:46 |
| sparkybean | caps-lock: cruise control for spammers | 15:47 |
| dgjones | Drk_Guy, have you looked into apt-mirror? it might be overkill for for what you're looking at, but i suppose its a possibility http://popey.com/Creating_an_Ubuntu_repository_mirror_with_apt-mirror | 15:47 |
| Y0da^ | anyone know if there's a patch or something for vmware workstatino 6 on feisty? | 15:47 |
| Y0da^ | it keeps telling me mto re-run the vmware-config.pl, but I did and it went without errors | 15:48 |
| FloodBot2 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 15:48 |
| foso | is there anything i can do to make ubuntu run faster? im dual booting, and xp is kicking its butt i have 1280mem(my laptops max) 2.8 processor and a big hd | 15:48 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: there is a 'pdfutils' package that claims to be able to do it, im installing it now... also psutils can do it if you convert the pdf to a postscript first | 15:48 |
| jrib | !sudo > boguz (read the private message from ubotu) | 15:48 |
| AC0RN | yo guys i just installed my old 7.10 disc and when i updated i went to youtube.. and i cant see any videos | 15:49 |
| AC0RN | it says like my codec is wrong.. | 15:49 |
| k3ito | anyone know how I can create one big mp3 from a cd with multiple tracks? | 15:49 |
| Junkee | AC0RN, you need to install flash player 9 | 15:49 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow: noroot is a very nice factoid | 15:49 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: there is also a package called multivalent but it's java and isn't in the repos... | 15:49 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, that would be nice kus there are some things i would love to have in hard copy. | 15:49 |
| Drk_Guy | dgjones: Nope | 15:49 |
| AC0RN | flashplugin-free? | 15:49 |
| Y0da^ | anyone know if there's a patch or something for vmware workstatino 6 on feisty? | 15:49 |
| AC0RN | it says i already got it | 15:49 |
| Drk_Guy | dgjones: that copies a entire repo | 15:50 |
| === NicoTux2__ is now known as NicoTux2 | ||
| Chamunks | ali1234, and boo on the java i wish it was more lightweight but alas it is not. | 15:50 |
| Sonja | how do i append 100 or so txt files sorted alphabetically into one giant txt file? | 15:50 |
| Drk_Guy | dgjones: I only want apt to isntall from the files i already have | 15:50 |
| Drk_Guy | Hmmphhh | 15:50 |
| ali1234 | Chamunks: yeah... pdfutils is command line only though... | 15:50 |
| Leo1989 | Sonja: C++, sh? | 15:50 |
| Junkee | goto the flash site and download their player | 15:50 |
| Pici | Sonja: cat files* >> bigfile | 15:50 |
| dgjones | Drk_Guy, thats why i thought it'd be over kill, maybe apt-on-cd would work | 15:50 |
| Drk_Guy | Maybe if i comment out the web repos | 15:50 |
| Drk_Guy | Muahahahahahaha | 15:50 |
| Sonja | cat! | 15:50 |
| * Drk_Guy laughes like an evil scientist | 15:51 | |
| nickrud | Drk_Guy: look into apt-proxy, works well as an intermediary between the web repos and your local pacages | 15:51 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, i dont mind commandline I just sometimes feel too lazy to learn it. | 15:51 |
| sybariten | i doubt an evil scientist ever laughed in real history | 15:51 |
| boguz | for some reason, my Synaptics Touch pad stoped working. i tried the stuff on the wiki, but the problem is when i try to open my xorg.com it is empty! | 15:51 |
| pubo | Anybody using ldap + phpldapadmin? | 15:51 |
| boguz | what should i do? | 15:51 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, i have to be in the mood for the cli. | 15:51 |
| jrib | boguz: it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf, not xorg.com | 15:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drk_Guy: It should look in /var/cache/apt/archives before the web... | 15:52 |
| boguz | yes, sorry | 15:52 |
| nickrud | boguz: you sure that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty? Case matters | 15:52 |
| pubo | I get: Could not start TLS. Please check your LDAP server configuration. error | 15:52 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, than again i install tilda every time i reload my ubuntu into my desktop so, meh go figure. | 15:52 |
| nickrud | !info tilda | 15:53 |
| ubotu | tilda: terminal emulator with first person shooter console likeness. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.09.4-4 (gutsy), package size 37 kB, installed size 176 kB | 15:53 |
| boguz | i think so. is there anyway to get the size of it or something to show you? | 15:53 |
| nickrud | boguz: ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:53 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, its like the command console in some fps games among other types but for your bash. | 15:53 |
| linduxed | what is the true CLI command ehind eject? | 15:54 |
| k3ito | does anyone know how to rip a cd with multiple tracks into one big file (soundjuicer doesn't have the option) | 15:54 |
| nickrud | Chamunks: I saw that, thought of some things to say but decided to be kind :p | 15:54 |
| boguz | nickrud, it said this: sparkybean | 15:54 |
| boguz | ops | 15:54 |
| boguz | this: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1129 2008-01-14 15:27 /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:54 |
| awiseonhill | hi | 15:54 |
| nickrud | boguz: then it's 1129 characters long | 15:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | boguz: paste this into the terminal gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf hint.. you will need to use the shift key to paste into the term | 15:54 |
| Pici | linduxed: What do you mean by 'the true command behind eject'? | 15:54 |
| Gearsmith | Are you guys all using Pidgin? | 15:55 |
| nickrud | boguz: Jack_Sparrow didn't mention it, but you can't save from there, it's a test just to see it | 15:55 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, lol i just like not having to drop into a total cli via ctrl+alt+fkey and dont feel like going through the effort to reach for my mouse to load a terminal. | 15:55 |
| awiseonhill | yes I use pigdin | 15:55 |
| ali1234 | linduxed: eject is a real command, it uses ioctls | 15:55 |
| nickrud | Chamunks: heh. I have <super_l>t tied to gnome-terminal | 15:56 |
| jrib | !irc > gearsmith (read the private message from ubotu) | 15:56 |
| Drk_Guy | Good | 15:56 |
| boguz | ah, yes, now it is not empty because i was trying to write the stuff on the wiki page. otherwise than that it is empty... (and the stuff i wrote there those not make the Synaptics work) | 15:56 |
| Drk_Guy | Placing the files on the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory helped | 15:56 |
| k3ito | can mencoder rip a cd with multiple tracks to one big mp3? <note different question | 15:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: I told him 15 minutes ago he most likely used small x and he said the same to me as you.. I think so.. Hopefully he finds his xorg this time | 15:56 |
| Drk_Guy | Thanks guys | 15:56 |
| Gearsmith | How do you uneject (close)? Or is there not a terminal command for that? XD | 15:57 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, that would be pretty handy i should try that one at some point | 15:57 |
| awiseonhill | I use mldonkey I download but the files downloaded are invisible | 15:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Drk_Guy: :) | 15:57 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow: saw that (or someone else, I've mentioned it also) | 15:57 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, what are you using for your keybindings? | 15:57 |
| boguz | i wrote: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf isn't it correct? | 15:57 |
| k3ito | sudo gedi^^^ | 15:58 |
| k3ito | sudo gedit | 15:58 |
| israel___ | K3ITO: I think " mplayer cdda:://track[-endtrack] -ao pcm; lame audiodump.pcm" do the job | 15:58 |
| Slart | !gksudo | 15:58 |
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:58 |
| k3ito | israel___: ty!!!! | 15:58 |
| Slart | boguz: never use sudo for gui apps | 15:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k3ito: No.. it would be gksudo gedit.. if we were editing it and not just looking at it | 15:58 |
| nickrud | Chamunks: in metacity, gconf-editor /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands and global_keybindings, and in compiz, general options commands and actions tabs | 15:58 |
| k3ito | Jack_Sparrow: never understood that, i use gedit and it works fine?! | 15:59 |
| boguz | so i got the right file. but now what can i do to put my Synaptics working again? | 15:59 |
| k3ito | sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k3ito: Dont use sudo for gui apps | 15:59 |
| Gearsmith | !virus | 15:59 |
| ubotu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 15:59 |
| k3ito | Jack_Sparrow: whats wrong with that? | 15:59 |
| ali1234 | Gearsmith: eject -t | 16:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k3ito: read the link we just provided... | 16:00 |
| k3ito | Jack_Sparrow: have heard this but never had it explained | 16:00 |
| k3ito | Jack_Sparrow: ty | 16:00 |
| nameless` | hi | 16:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k3ito: It is VERY important | 16:00 |
| boguz | the synaptics touchpad stoped working | 16:00 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, i've allways wondered how i could use metacity for my keybindings gawd thats a huge load off my shoulders. | 16:00 |
| nameless` | i've got a problem trying to get ink level of my epson dx5050 | 16:00 |
| nickrud | k3ito: if you save options while running sudo gui app, the preferences file will get written to your home with root perms, and you will no longer be able to change them as your regular user. That's one consequence | 16:01 |
| nameless` | ink doesn't works (qink also) | 16:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | boguz: Just to confirm.. you now can see a valid xorg.conf | 16:01 |
| linduxed | boguz: are you sure you havent just turned it off? that happened to me and i went all crazy | 16:01 |
| linduxed | boguz: Fn+F7 or some other F-key tends to solve such problems | 16:02 |
| visik7 | anyone have tried to use ubuntu as an handset ? | 16:02 |
| Chamunks | I really love this channel people here are so helpful. | 16:02 |
| visik7 | anyone have tried to use ubuntu as a bluetooth handset ? | 16:02 |
| boguz | i see the same xorg.conf (but now it has the thigs i found on ths page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#troubleshooting ) | 16:02 |
| boguz | Fn+F7 ? :| lololol | 16:02 |
| k3ito | nickrud: interesting | 16:03 |
| linduxed | boguz: hehehehe i thought that too when i had been googling for about three days | 16:03 |
| Chamunks | The overall linux community pwns any win related socalled help destination anyday. | 16:03 |
| linduxed | Chamunks: gotta loooove linux communities | 16:03 |
| ikonia | visik7: ubuntu is an operating system, not a bluetooth device | 16:03 |
| nickrud | k3ito: you can experiment for yourself, try sudo env | sort , sudo gksudo | sort and compare the different environments | 16:04 |
| boguz | is it possible to re-install the synaptics? | 16:04 |
| Quicksilva | Hi.. When install gnome-themes-extras package where do the themes go? | 16:04 |
| betel | Wine fullscreen doesn't overlap the panels, and turning on the legacy fullscreen workaround in compiz doesn'thelp. Any other suggestions? | 16:04 |
| nickrud | k3ito: erm, the last one is only gksudo env | sort, doh | 16:04 |
| Quicksilva | I cant find them in the appearance | 16:04 |
| lukasz_ | how do I make the splachscreen work again? | 16:04 |
| Chamunks | linduxed, i find i dont even bother in doze when i need to go find a solution for something if 5-10 mins of googling around doesent get me anywhere i just switch back to my nix | 16:04 |
| lukasz_ | !uspsplash | 16:04 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about uspsplash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:04 |
| lukasz_ | hmm | 16:04 |
| Pici | !usplash | lukasz_ | 16:04 |
| nickrud | !usplash | lukasz_ | 16:04 |
| ubotu | lukasz_: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 16:04 |
| linduxed | boguz: check in synaptic | 16:05 |
| lukasz_ | thnx | 16:05 |

| linduxed | Chamunks: well i dont give up that fast, but ive come to know from experience of repairing computers that the most common sollutions to all win related problems are as follows: | 16:06 |
| nickrud | Chamunks: yw, I like keyboards myself | 16:06 |
| `m0 | active x objects | 16:06 |
| ballongen | hehe, while my father was on vacation, i installed ubuntu on his computer, he likes it :) | 16:06 |
| ikonia | `m0: they don't work | 16:06 |
| Chamunks | ali1234, thanks for the feedback really helped me sort out some ideas for how to do this. | 16:06 |
| juanky | buenas, alguien sabe algo para usar el fpc de ubuntu de una forma comodamente mas grafica que la consola? | 16:06 |
| linduxed | Chamunks: reboot, fix virus, reinstall win | 16:06 |
| lukasz_ | My boot slapsh won't load the one that came with Ubuntu | 16:06 |
| `m0 | It is the webadmin's fault | 16:06 |
| k3ito | nickrud: cheers... trying to convert people to ubuntu. stuff like this leaves most people the other side of baffled. just when you think you know what you're doing you get a slap in the face | 16:06 |
| nickrud | !es | juanky | 16:06 |
| ubotu | juanky: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 16:06 |
| ikonia | `m0: no it's not | 16:06 |

| ikonia | `m0: no - it's not compatible with linux | 16:07 |
| `m0 | No, the website doens't work with firefox it needs IE, and linux doesn't have IE | 16:07 |
| nickrud | k3ito: look at it from the flip side: whenever you get bored, there's something new to explore :) | 16:07 |
| `m0 | unless I do a wine iexplorer | 16:07 |
| ballongen | tandy2000 :) | 16:07 |
| ballongen | heh.. | 16:07 |
| juanky | thx nickrud | 16:08 |
| _hakon_ | what is wrong with flash install i cnat seem to make it work? | 16:08 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash | _hakon_ | 16:08 |
| ubotu | _hakon_: 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. | 16:08 |
| _hakon_ | how long time for official fix? | 16:08 |
| sn0w | _hakon_, just goto adobe.com, grab the tar and run the setup in a terminal, takes 2 seconds | 16:08 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: been waiting for the official fix for over a month, fyi | 16:08 |
| Gearsmith | The immediate fix works. | 16:08 |
| Gearsmith | I just fixed it like an hour ago and I can watch YouTube videos again... | 16:09 |
| rgnr | need help with dosemu plz | 16:09 |
| lukasz_ | oh well ni fix for splash toget it to work again | 16:09 |
| Chamunks | linduxed, windows made me lust for a good disk imaging software, installs win tweaks the poop out of it installs fav utils images drive. Anytime after that if my comp slows the slightest dont bother fixing anything just restore image and go again. | 16:09 |
| * nickrud wonders if konqueror can use flash yet ... | 16:09 | |
| lukasz_ | I see ya soon all | 16:09 |
| Gearsmith | A music messaging session has been requested. Please click the MM icon to accept. | 16:09 |

| `m0 | did it when it came out, but just wondering about it now | 16:10 |
| * nickrud trumps Chamunks, touched seattle computing's version on an s100 bus | 16:10 | |

| Qaldune | is there a way to install 32-bit gcc on ubuntu gutsy? | 16:11 |
| _hakon_ | Pici: not working | 16:11 |
| sn0w | `m0, just change to a skin that shows the user list | 16:11 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, hehe alas i cant go that far back :P | 16:11 |
| _hakon_ | nor did aptitude install vlc | 16:11 |
| Pici | _hakon_: Did you get an error? | 16:11 |
| _hakon_ | yep | 16:11 |
| `m0 | sn0w: I have the skin for the user list ... But that didn't work after the update | 16:12 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, i just wish i did sometimes that way i would probably have bothered to pick up some coding skills by now. | 16:12 |
| ballongen | is there a way to save programs while restarting GDM? like screen + irssi | 16:12 |

| `m0 | I didn't really care about it, but just wondering if anyone knows how to recover the login prompt | 16:12 |
| k3ito | nickrud: hell I love learning a new OS never going back.. would love to see cubase released for linux alongside ableton/ unreal3 (when!!!) & some decent VJ software (EVE only works on 6.06 I can't get it to compile) | 16:12 |

| sn0w | ballongen, sesion options, and if you save that, next time you login it will bring all your apps back to the same status | 16:13 |
| Pici | <3 FloodBot | 16:13 |
| Pici | _hakon_: you need to prefix those commands with sudo | 16:13 |
| BlackSunrise | hOw do i fix my graphix accelerator? | 16:13 |
| nickrud | dang, I wish the bots wouldn't flood more than the users | 16:13 |
| Chamunks | nickrud, I hear that. | 16:13 |
| ballongen | snow: cool, like pidgin and so on? without closing my session of pidgin | 16:14 |

| _hakon_ | sudo install apt-get install vlc? | 16:14 |
| `m0 | sn0w: already did | 16:14 |
| Pici | _hakon_: yep | 16:14 |
| sn0w | ballongen, well when you logout it will close, but when you log back in, it will bring everything back to how it was | 16:14 |
| `m0 | sn0w: after the update, the login screen is corrupted (i would guess) and I would want to see if I can recover it | 16:14 |
| bastid_raZor | _hakon_:: you'll leave off the first install .. sudo apt-get install vlc | 16:14 |

| ^root^ | When i install Flash Player on Gutsy using Firefox and .tar.gz file, which path should i specify when it ask me : Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape.... | 16:17 |
| W8TAH | how do i turn on colors in vim? | 16:17 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: that sucks | 16:17 |
| ^root^ | W8TAH, try editing vim config files in etc | 16:17 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: no, dapper came out before compiz was released. Just timing | 16:17 |
| pike_ | ^root^: either your local .mozilla or /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ | 16:17 |
| ballongen | sn0w: seems that the session only starts my program, not "save the sate" | 16:18 |
| ballongen | state | 16:18 |
| W8TAH | ok | 16:18 |
| _hakon_ | still need help on installing vlc | 16:18 |
| pike_ | W8TAH: :syntax on | 16:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ^root^: common problem with people doing it manually is they do not create the /plugin folder | 16:18 |
| W8TAH | thanks | 16:18 |
| pike_ | W8TAH: you can edit /etc/vim/vimrc and uncomment it there too | 16:18 |
| Oli`` | Anybody found a way to get better performance from the latest Flash plugin? | 16:18 |
| W8TAH | cool - thanks | 16:18 |
| W8TAH | :) | 16:18 |
| sn0w | ballongen, oh really? sorry i guess I was wrong, i havnt really used that tool before but i thought maybe it could do that | 16:18 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: sudo apt-get install vlc , if it fails, copy the output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 16:18 |
| niklas | Am looking for a program that can make taskbar icons of running programs. I mean, I have two programs open all the time and it's anoying. It would be great if I can get these two in the Notification Area instead. Is it possible? | 16:18 |
| Gimbli | niklas: alltray | 16:19 |
| ^root^ | it doesnt recognize /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ or .mozilla/ says either directory doenst exist ot is not a directory | 16:19 |
| BlackSunrise | how do i figure out if the new wine that my add/remove tool installed is winehq? | 16:19 |
| Pici | BlackSunrise: What do you mean? | 16:19 |
| BlackSunrise | I downloaded wine regular.. and i installed it.. then it said i had updates available.. so i installed a new wine.. | 16:19 |
| Pici | BlackSunrise: Whats winehq? #winehq is the wine channel, but its not a specific version iirc. | 16:19 |
| ballongen | anyone else know a way to save my sessions in programs (like pidgin with irc/msn/icq) when i logout? like system > prefs> session | 16:20 |
| BlackSunrise | i need to know if it is wine , wine hq, or cedega | 16:20 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: why would that help? | 16:20 |
| BlackSunrise | It's not a wine question.. it's a software question | 16:20 |
| Pici | BlackSunrise: If you installed Wine from the software repositories its just Wine. | 16:20 |
| anto | Heya | 16:20 |

| anto | Can someone here help me, my mate tried to install both nvidia script and the glx package and now its a huge mess. | 16:21 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: yup. Do you have synaptic or the update-manger open? if so, close it and try again. | 16:21 |
| niklas | Gimbli: Thanks for the tip about alltray. Problem is that is not working ;) | 16:21 |
| _hakon_ | i do | 16:21 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: only one package management front end can be open at a time | 16:22 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: i closed it and tryed again... Gave me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51897/ | 16:23 |

| bobbob1016 | preaction, Pici, is that easier syntax? | 16:27 |
| ^root^ | spideyman, yup, and installing it from the .tar.bz archive but doing ./flash* and then it asks me for a path, which i give as "/usr/lib/mozilla" and it says " WARNING: Please enter a valid installation path." though the dir exists | 16:27 |

| dusty-sts | Hey guys I have just bought a Samsung SyncMast 2032BW 20" flatscreen monitor. I plugged it into my laptop with ubuntu gutsy installed. The laptop is an acer ferrari with 15.4" screen and an ati radeon x700 128mb ram, i want to dual screen the samsung and the laptop screen, i have got them both working but as a mirror, i tweak the config somemore and now only the laptop is working, any ideas how i can do this right and get it working? | 16:27 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: help | 16:27 |
| Pici | bobbob1016: yes: its similar to cp syntax: scp user@host:/path/to/file /home/path/ | 16:27 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: ok, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list , put a # at the beginning of line 1 (cdrom line) , and remove the # at the beginning of lines 17 and 18 . Also, add the word multiverse to the end of lines 17 and 18 (the ones ending in multiverse) | 16:28 |
| niklas | dusty-sts: You have to use the aticonfig app to do this. Are you using aticonfig? | 16:28 |
| EDinNY | Does anyone know which deb needs to be installed so that LAME rips to mp3? | 16:28 |
| bobbob1016 | Pici: can I upload that way too? as in "scp /home/path user@host:/path/to/file"? | 16:28 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: I mean, the 17 & 18 end in universe , add multiverse to those lines | 16:28 |
| Pici | bobbob1016: yes | 16:28 |
| Pici | bobbob1016: check the manpage for more info | 16:28 |
| dusty-sts | niklas, nope. | 16:29 |
| bobbob1016 | preaction, Pici, Thanks. | 16:29 |
| dusty-sts | niklas, how do i do it with aticonfig? | 16:29 |
| spideyman | has anybody here sucessfully burned a diskjuggler cdi image on a linux system? | 16:29 |
| niklas | dusty-sts: You have to use it. It comes with the ati drivers. Its a console program. Its kinda complicated but really powerful | 16:29 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: what that does is give you access to a *lot* more software | 16:29 |
| _hakon_ | ok. ill try | 16:29 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: could you explain again? | 16:30 |
| dusty-sts | niklas, ok how would i do it then | 16:30 |
| bastid_raZor | might anyone know how Ubuntu utilizes dual-core or quad-core processors? | 16:30 |
| SuperLag | Is there a way to safely/cleanly upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy from the command line? | 16:31 |
| niklas | dusty-sts: Am not using ati cards any longer so I done remember how to set this up. Type in a console "sudo aticonfig" and you should have the utility there. | 16:31 |
| _Garbage_ | bastid_raZor: I think u have to use boot parameters for that | 16:31 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: on line one, add a # to the beginning (the one starting with deb cdrom) . Then, on lines 17 & 18 (the ones ending in universe) remove the # at the beginning, and add the word multiverse to the end. | 16:31 |
| _hakon_ | Where exactly should i put or remove a #. Please write sentenses and exactly what to do | 16:31 |
| pike_ | SuperLag: ive only ever upgraded from cli by editing sources.list updating then dist-upgradinign | 16:31 |
| pike_ | SuperLag: ive not had an issue since warty | 16:32 |
| pike_ | ymmv | 16:32 |
| * kuwanger sighs. | 16:32 | |
| bastid_raZor | _Garbage_:: possibly it doesn't do that itself when installing? | 16:32 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: Multiverse in stead of universe? | 16:32 |
| bobbob1016 | Pici scp does the same issue, with a space in the path. I do /home/Abc\ Def/ and it says /home/Abc doesn't exist, and I know Abc Def does | 16:32 |

| ubuntunewby | does anyone know why the 'kernel-headers' can't be installed with apt-get? | 16:33 |
| niklas | dusty-sts: Having a Nvidia card in my laptop now days. Nvidia also has a app to control everything. "gksudo nvidia-settings". But Nvidia has a nice gui to configure everything. Just point and click until user is happy :) Hope ati will make a program like this some day. aticonfig is way to complicated. | 16:33 |
| kuwanger | I have a small problem. Specifically, running a terminal causes the xserver to close. I'm not sure if it's actually xfce4 crashing/closing or what. | 16:33 |

| nickrud | _hakon_: ah, I forgot to repeat the first part of my instructions. close that gedit window, then run gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list in a terminal (you need admin privs to edit system files) | 16:34 |

| piotruntu | Jack_sparrow, it does work if u install the beta and move the libflash to opera plugins but im getting the same problem as when i used firefox and epiphany | 16:36 |

| nickrud | bastid_raZor: for dapper, it was adding multiverse to 17 & 18 in a default sources.list , not removing universe | 16:40 |
| ikonia | kermitan ask your brother to change it back | 16:40 |
| _hakon_ | sorry | 16:40 |

| user_ | Hello, I got rather weird hard disk symptoms. The hard disk is 120 GB, but natilus is saying there are 220 gb of files in a directory. I tried fsck but it didn't help | 16:40 |
| Gearsmith | :x | 16:40 |
| piotruntu | Flash always crashes when I use firefox and I am on a website like youtube.com. How can I get flash installed so that it does not crash on me when I watch videos? | 16:40 |
| Pici | Gearsmith: Please dont. | 16:40 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: thats not funny | 16:40 |
| nickrud | bastid_raZor: for the later ones (at least for sure on feisty and gutsy) system->admin->software sources is *much* easier | 16:40 |
| ikonia | Gearsmith: you've been shown the irc guide lines info earlier, | 16:41 |
| Charlie85 | hi | 16:41 |
| scguy318 | user_: perhaps you have sparse files on your HDD? | 16:41 |
| kermitan | update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gdm exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force | 16:41 |
| Gearsmith | Sorry. :-( | 16:41 |
| Charlie85 | I'm thinking of buying a computer from dell.com, is that a good idea? | 16:41 |
| ikonia | kermitan: ask your bother to put back what he's done | 16:41 |
| bastid_raZor | nickrud:: yeah i'm comfortable using command line.. either way works | 16:41 |
| user_ | scguy318: not sure what that means, how do i measure it? its definitely corrupted in some way | 16:41 |
| ikonia | Charlie85: thats up to you if you like them as a vendor and nothing to do with ubuntu | 16:41 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: thank you | 16:42 |
| bastid_raZor | nickrud:: but you are right.. 'most' users would prefer a GUI | 16:42 |
| kermitan | what that menas? | 16:42 |
| Charlie85 | yeah, I know it's not, I couldn't find a channel for what I wanted | 16:42 |
| ikonia | kermitan: ask your brother to put back what he has done | 16:42 |
| _hakon_ | Now i need help setting up wireless lan | 16:42 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: and you have a *lot* more software available | 16:42 |
| ubuntunewby | you can customize your runlevel there: /etc/rc3.d | 16:42 |
| ikonia | ubuntunewby: no you can't | 16:42 |
| ikonia | ubuntunewby: you don't change your run level in there | 16:42 |
| Charlie85 | What I'm wanting to ask is what do I need for the internet | 16:42 |
| _hakon_ | nickrud: are you any good at wireless setups? | 16:42 |
| Charlie85 | I've already got the internet in my house, do I need to buy anything with the computer? | 16:43 |
| user_ | scguy318: right, these files were probably created by emule in the temp directory. Can I just copy them normally? | 16:43 |
| pike_ | _hakon_: wep or wpa or open? | 16:43 |
| VSpike | user_: when you say fsck didn't help, what do you mean? It reported problems but would not fix them, or that it did not find any errors? | 16:43 |
| Charlie85 | btw I'm very basic when it comes to computers | 16:43 |
| scguy318 | user_: sure, probably | 16:43 |
| Pici | Charlie85: Have you tried askin in ##hardware ? | 16:43 |
| kermitan | update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/gdm exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force | 16:43 |
| nickrud | _hakon_: not at all. I didn't get a wireless connection till pretty recently, and NetworkManager (not available in dapper) just Works for Me™ | 16:43 |
| kermitan | what that means | 16:43 |
| _hakon_ | pike_: i think its wep | 16:43 |
| Gearsmith | Most modern computers are able to run the internet, I think. | 16:43 |
| Pici | Charlie85: This isnt really the correct channel for this sort of thing, or ask in #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:43 |
| ikonia | kermitan: speak to our bother and ask him to put back what he's done | 16:43 |
| Charlie85 | no Pici, I'll try that | 16:43 |
| user_ | scguy318: thanks very much, have a good day/evening :) | 16:43 |
| moad | how do i install a tar.bz2 file ? | 16:43 |
| scguy318 | Charlie85: probably 10 to 1 your machine has integrated Ethernet card? but yeah what pici said | 16:43 |
| ubuntunewby | he can change his services there, cant he? | 16:43 |
| ikonia | kermitan: I don't believe you are running at run level 3 | 16:43 |
| ikonia | ubuntunewby: no | 16:44 |
| VSpike | Charlie85: are you asking about buying a computer that is compatible with ubuntu? or pre-installed with ubuntu? | 16:44 |
| Pici | moad: Are you sure that whats in the file isnt in the Ubuntu Software Repositories? | 16:44 |
| lemontea | I have plugin error . unable to activate plugin media player keys? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | moad: untar it and read the README or INSTALL file in it | 16:44 |
| _Garbage_ | moad: tar.bz2 is a compressed collection of files | 16:44 |
| tom17bombadil_ | _hakon_: is your card up? | 16:44 |
| Shadow147 | Charlie85 look are the back of your system do you see ya connector thats wider than a phone connector | 16:44 |
| moad | Pici : it isnt , its the DC++ for linux | 16:44 |
| pike_ | _hakon_: wep is pretty painless assuming your card works. from a terminal i do usually first sudo ifconfig wifi0 up then 1) iwlist wifi0 scan 2) sudo iwconfig wifi0 essid networkname key 12345566 3) sudo dhclient wifi0 | 16:44 |
| kinroad | How can I make my external HD formatted as ext3 writable by everyone? | 16:45 |
| Shadow98 | Is there any way to get paltalk to work in ubuntu | 16:45 |
| pike_ | _hakon_: and the gui is just click to select | 16:45 |
| ikonia | kinroad: chmod 777 /filesystem | 16:45 |
| Pici | moad: tar xjcf file.tar.gz, or just right click and extract in Gnome. Read the INSTALL and README files like ikonia said. | 16:45 |
| lemontea | I have plugin error . unable to activate plugin media player keys? | 16:45 |
| pike_ | kinroad: chmod | 16:45 |
| BlackSunrise | where do i find the driver for Intel Corporation 82815 Chipset Graphics Controller | 16:45 |

| Drk_Guy | ikonia: I heard of that | 16:46 |

| Drk_Guy | ikonia: so i cant help | 16:46 |
| kinroad | thx | 16:46 |
| BlackSunrise | hold on.. i type a command and it says that it's not renerded | 16:46 |

| BlackSunrise | rendered | 16:46 |
| user_ | carino | 16:46 |
| Drk_Guy | ikonia: What i only know its that it is a driver | 16:46 |

| ikonia | Drk_Guy then why did you tell him to use a driver that doesn't exist ? | 16:47 |

| ikonia | damike it sure does /etc/apache | 16:47 |
| BlackSunrise | i type glxinfo and it says that it is not rendered | 16:47 |

| ikonia | BlackSunrise: ok - thats a different situation | 16:47 |

| Shadow147 | BlackSunrise use sudo apt-get install alien | 16:57 |

| WorgiL | i installed asp.net 2.0. When i want open some pages, it starting donwload. How can i solve ? can anyone help me ? | 16:57 |
| ikonia | Omg: thats nothing to do with ubuntu | 16:57 |
| Shadow147 | BlackSunrise Alien will convert the rpm into a deb | 16:58 |
| ljsmithx | lol | 16:58 |
| ljsmithx | OMG | 16:58 |
| bigzk | i cant ask them, i need to do it by myself with a comand or something like that | 16:58 |
| qebab | I think I've got a mild case of brainfart here. I can't remember how to use ln, heh. I want to create a symbol link to /usr/bin/foo and put it in ~/bar. Could anyone give me a pointer? ln -s what? :| | 16:58 |
| ikonia | Shadow147: but he should not do that | 16:58 |
| ikonia | !lol | ljsmithx | 16:58 |
| hsystemx_ | !alien | 16:58 |
| ubotu | ljsmithx: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 16:58 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 16:58 |
| ljsmithx | OK | 16:58 |
| Omg | I need to install a free Chat to my phpbb2 forum | 16:59 |
| Omg | please? | 16:59 |

| ikonia | Omg: that's nothing to do with ubuntu | 16:59 |
| nickrud | BlackSunrise: just what is it you're trying to install, most of the time using an rpm for important stuff will break that important stuff | 16:59 |
| ljsmithx | I was refering to that guy, i thought he said "OMG THats nothing todo with ubuntu" | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Omg: find a resource for your forum/chat issue | 16:59 |

| BlackSunrise | I am trying to install my graphix drivers... | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Shadow147: the intel or i810 version should support it | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Omg: no | 16:59 |
| DRebellion | BlackSunrise: what card do you have? | 16:59 |
| ikonia | Omg: this is ubuntu support only | 16:59 |

| Shadow147 | ikonia well help BlackSunrise with that | 17:00 |
| moad | Pici: what is that ? and how do i install it ? | 17:00 |
| Pici | ljsmithx: This is a support channel, if you just want to make random comments, thats what #ubuntu-offtopic is for. | 17:00 |
| anna_ | perle | 17:00 |
| Pici | moad: its 'everything you need to compile stuff', so `sudo apt-get install build-essential` | 17:00 |
| ljsmithx | BlackSunrise: System>Administration>Restricted Drivers Manager | 17:00 |
| Shadow147 | ikonia well I have converted RPM packages I needed for compiling and I have had no problems | 17:00 |

| IrishDavid | hey, im looking at install both 32bit ubuntu and 64bit ubuntu on the same machine, are there any problems in using the same /home partition? | 17:04 |
| ikonia | winkerbean: you don't | 17:04 |
| _mug | Tyczek: hm then i dont know, sorry | 17:04 |
| winkerbean | Ack! | 17:04 |
| nickrud | winkerbean: reinstall is done with the cd | 17:04 |
| ikonia | winkerbean: you can use the alternate cd image | 17:04 |
| lhernandez | join #winehq | 17:05 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: not really no | 17:05 |
| Tyczek | _mug, allright, thank you :) | 17:05 |
| IrishDavid | thanks ikonia | 17:05 |
| winkerbean | ikonia: Ok. I'll try that route. Thanx. | 17:05 |

| santium | I launched a game in WINE that resized my screen. After I restarted my laptop, GDM won't start anymore. It just flashes. | 17:06 |
| ikonia | Shadow147: have you tried the intel or i810 driver | 17:06 |
| Shadow147 | ikonia I don't have that type of card | 17:06 |

| Pici | moad: Make sure that you have the universe repository enabled, check System>Administration>Software sources | 17:11 |
| th0r | santium no sorry. I know windows software sometimes sets things that don't get reset on exit...that's why I asked about the shutdown. | 17:11 |
| Shadow147 | moad what package | 17:11 |
| _mug | fatih: you have to be more specific | 17:11 |
| smokkin_ | so ive got ubuntu running from my usb thumbdrive, set up with the casper-rw partition, and all is working, seems to be great. here's my question: (...) | 17:11 |
| moad | Shadow147 : linuxdcpp | 17:11 |
| ikonia | moad: it's in the ubuntu repo | 17:11 |
| smokkin_ | using the 7.10 livecd btw | 17:11 |
| Shadow147 | moad | !find DC++ | 17:11 |
| santium | th0r: Where else would I look? xorg.conf is unchanged. | 17:12 |

| PsiKlops | Hello, i would like to make a DebianLiveCd (uhh,LiveUSB) for it i read that i need a package from sid named live-helper, is it possible to install this package in Dapper or is there another Package in Dapper that does the job ? | 17:12 |
| Pici | ubotu: tell Shadow147 about usage | 17:13 |
| moad | ikona: i know | 17:13 |
| Shadow147 | !usage | 17:13 |
| ubotu | I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 17:13 |
| ikonia | moad: ok, so what's the problem | 17:13 |
| smokkin_ | lets say for example, i want to use a friends computer, and rip a cd for both of us. i keep my mp3's in the ext2 drive, simple. how might i get the mp3's onto his system? the fat partition on my drive is read-only when booted from. can i mount his ntfs drive as read-write? is it stable/reliable yet? | 17:13 |
| moad | ikonia: it tells me "couldnt find package" | 17:13 |
| BlackSunrise | if it says the following, does it mean my graphix accelerator is not working? direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 17:13 |
| th0r | santium sorry...no idea. don't do windows games so have no experience with wine in that regard | 17:13 |

| ikonia | IrishDavid: from the intel site ? | 17:14 |
| moad | ikonia: i went to software thing in admin but i couldnt find somewhere to click | 17:14 |
| IrishDavid | ikonia, yeah the one from their website | 17:14 |
| ikonia | Pici: all yours | 17:14 |
| brobostigon | IrishDavid: no, sorry, i have not | 17:14 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: I've had a lot of stability issues on past distros with it, due to it's generic library requirmetns and lack of regular updates | 17:14 |
| IrishDavid | ikonia, seems to be a few other people who have had same issue with gutsy but no solutions | 17:15 |
| Pici | moad: make sure that all the checkboxes on the first tab are checked | 17:15 |
| moad | Pici: they are | 17:15 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: it's built too generic rather than distro specific | 17:15 |
| Pici | moad: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 17:15 |
| toffey | guys when im installing this nvidia driver it return me this error | 17:15 |

| toffey | No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li | 17:15 |
| toffey | ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f | 17:15 |
| toffey | rom the NVIDIA ftp site (ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes) | 17:15 |
| toffey | -> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site; | 17:15 |
| toffey | this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for | 17:15 |
| toffey | your kernel. | 17:15 |
| FloodBot2 | toffey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:15 |
| IrishDavid | ikonia, it didn't even install, i've download the 64bit version to try it on because gfortran is just rediculously slow on a core2duo compared to the intel compuler | 17:15 |
| ikonia | toffey: why are you downloading nvidia drivers from nvidia.com ? | 17:16 |
| brobostigon | !pastebin | toffey | 17:16 |
| evang | hi guys one question does anyone uses SCTP in ubuntu? | 17:16 |
| tritium | toffey: use the ubuntu restricted drivers manager | 17:16 |
| ubotu | toffey: 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) | 17:16 |

| DRebellion | ballongen: ahem: "17:15 <@FloodBot2> toffey: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation." | 17:16 |
| IrishDavid | ikonia, i am using 32bit but i have downloaded the 64bit distro to install and try it on :) | 17:16 |
| ballongen | the best console best msn program? | 17:16 |
| tritium | toffey: i.e., use ubuntu-packaged drivers, not downloads off of nvidia.com | 17:16 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: ahh, I don't think you'll get far | 17:16 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: (just looking at it's dependencies) | 17:16 |
| moad | Pici: how do i upgrade to gutsy ? | 17:17 |
| Shadow147 | IrishDavid you can run 32 bit on 64 but can't run 64 on 32 far as I know anyways | 17:17 |
| lhernandez | hi would like some help | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Shadow147: please stop talking nonsense to people | 17:17 |
| Pici | moad: Thats because the package doesnt exist in feisty. I suggest deleting the extracted folder, then re-extracting and make sure that you read all the stuff in the INSTALL and README files. | 17:17 |
| pdm_ | hi....when i connect a media in usb, with lsusb it appear, but i don t how to mount it, how can i do ??? | 17:17 |
| Pici | !upgrade > moad (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 17:17 |
| ikonia | Pici: was it 7.10 only ? | 17:17 |
| IrishDavid | thanks ikonia, ill keep trying anyway, i really need to get it working so may need to try a few other distros | 17:17 |
| Pici | ikonia: looks like it. | 17:17 |
| IrishDavid | exit | 17:17 |
| ikonia | IrishDavid: you may want to consider something with either a.) linux thread support b.) an older glibc version | 17:18 |
| moad | Pici: it tells me "PREFIX" in the install , what is that ? | 17:18 |
| ikonia | moad: why are you not listening ? | 17:18 |
| ikonia | Iradigalesc: maybe ubuntu 6.06 ? | 17:18 |
| lhernandez | im trying to install an appplication in wine | 17:18 |

| hsystemx_ | lhernandez, wine ARCHIVE.EXE | 17:19 |
| Andycasss | thru all filesystem | 17:19 |
| Pici | moad: I told you without context I dont know what PREFIX is. | 17:19 |
| moad | ikonia: i have 7.04 , the package isnt supported , looks like i have to install it manually or upgrade to gutsy | 17:19 |
| Pici | Andycasss: find / -iname "something*" you can use wildcards in the something area | 17:19 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: find | 17:19 |
| PsiKlops | i dont understand how it was possible to create a live CD in the past, when it is so hard to do in the moment, must i upgrade from Dapper to be able to do so ? | 17:19 |
| ikonia | moad: which is whay pici told you to do | 17:19 |
| tritium | PsiKlops: huh? | 17:20 |
| moad | ikonia: manually doesnt work , tried for the fifth time , i will upgrade | 17:20 |
| brobostigon | PsiKlops: get the iso, and then use cdroast for example to burn it to cd. | 17:20 |
| lhernandez | someone knows what to do? | 17:20 |

| Pici | !flashissues | ^root^ | 17:20 |
| ubotu | ^root^: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 17:20 |

| ikonia | peppo: you asked about this earlier | 17:22 |
| Andycasss | what does htdigest -realm do? | 17:22 |
| Andycasss | Is that the dir user can access? | 17:23 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: as I recall it's for multiple domains or "zones" is a better word for the apache webserver | 17:23 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: eg: relm1 = internet access users relm2 = intranet access users | 17:23 |
| Andycasss | ikonia, ok thanks | 17:23 |
| peppo | ikonia, no I did not. | 17:23 |
| ikonia | peppo: you did ask about PS3 and ubuntu | 17:24 |

| ikonia | peppo: don't lie | 17:25 |

| xomp | Ok, can someone please assist me with an ongoing VPN issue I've had now for about 3 weeks? I connect to my VPN at work through Cisco's VPN client and I've had no love getting ubuntu to cooperate with it.

| tritium | ikonia: a kind reminder would be sufficient | 17:26 |
| Shadow147 | Pathum I can probly help ya there I have a Nvidia Card | 17:26 |
| Pici | peppo: The ubuntu forums have a section devoted to PPC editions, I suggest you look there :) | 17:26 |

| hsystemx_ | Pathum, you can install automatically NVIDIA drivers with ENVY script. However i cant talk about it here. | 17:26 |
| Pici | !envy | hsystemx_ Pathum | 17:27 |
| ubotu | hsystemx_ Pathum: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 17:27 |
| ikonia | hsystemx_: we don't recommend the envy scripts | 17:27 |
| Pici | !wfm | hsystemx_ | 17:27 |
| ubotu | hsystemx_: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 17:27 |
| tritium | hsystemx_, Pathum: you don't want to use envy. Follow the howto on th wiki | 17:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hsystemx_: bad idea | 17:27 |
| Shadow147 | Pathum yea use the Restricted Driver Manager | 17:27 |
| Shadow147 | Pathum thats what I used | 17:28 |
| Shadow147 | allowed me to use 3D Acceleration | 17:28 |
| hsystemx_ | hehe the installer in the repositories will crash the xserver but whatever, just do what they said | 17:28 |
| hsystemx_ | :D | 17:29 |
| Shadow147 | Pathum allowed me to use 3D Acceleration | 17:29 |
| ikonia | hsystemx_: please don't spread lies | 17:29 |
| xomp | can someone please help me? | 17:29 |
| DRebellion | !ask | xomp | 17:29 |
| ubotu | xomp: 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. :-) | 17:29 |

| k3ito | anyone know how to merge wav's together in ubuntu? | 17:29 |
| tritium | k3ito: perhaps with audacity | 17:30 |
| xomp | I've asked already :/ | 17:30 |
| Pathum | guys the prob is i initially used the driver from NVIDIA site | 17:30 |
| hsystemx_ | well for me its not a lie. all mighty ikonia :D | 17:30 |
| k3ito | tritium: thats what i thought | 17:30 |
| Pathum | so i installed that | 17:30 |
| ikonia | hsystemx_: just because it happened to you, doesn't make it fact | 17:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hsystemx_: Please tone it down | 17:30 |
| * xomp doesn't want to be a bother with repeating himself | 17:30 | |
| Pathum | then ....when i restarted X didn't start | 17:30 |
| hsystemx_ | see :D | 17:30 |

| tritium | hsystemx_: no, now please stop. | 17:30 |
| ikonia | hsystemx_: he said he used the drives from nvidia.com | 17:30 |
| Shadow147 | Pathum did you setup you monitor right? | 17:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pathum: Are you on a desktop or laptop | 17:31 |

| tritium | swuboo: what's the problem? | 17:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pathum: there are refresh for vsync and hrefresh | 17:32 |
| fatih | when i connect hub cpu usage goes till 100 % | 17:32 |
| fatih | coz of too many users | 17:32 |
| Pathum | the prob for me is now when i try it with the Restricted driver manager X won't start | 17:32 |
| ikonia | fatih: ok....and ? | 17:32 |
| fatih | nearly 10 k users it has | 17:32 |
| XceII | Is there a way to change the text color on the task bar? | 17:32 |
| swuboo | tritium: For some reason, pdflatex creates A4 documents, even when the documentclass specifically declares letter. | 17:32 |
| fatih | and i have to force quit | 17:32 |
| k3ito | miekko: how do you do that then? | 17:32 |
| fatih | i cant use any kind of dc client in linux | 17:32 |
| ikonia | fatih: ok....and ? | 17:32 |
| xomp | ikonia: sorry, Ok, can someone please assist me with an ongoing VPN issue I've had now for about 3 weeks? I connect to my VPN at work through Cisco's VPN client and I've had no love getting ubuntu to cooperate with it. I have a .pcf file that I use on Windows, is there some way of importing this into a linux copy of a Cisco VPN client (if one even exists)? | 17:32 |
| ikonia | fatih: which one are you using ? | 17:32 |
| tritium | swuboo: what does /etc/papersize say? | 17:33 |
| fatih | dcsharp | 17:33 |
| fatih | dc++ | 17:33 |
| fatih | valknut | 17:33 |
| Pathum | when X didn't start i did that reconfigure thing | 17:33 |
| Shadow147 | Pathum lookup you monitor info and set that up though Administrations>Screens and Resolution | 17:33 |
| miekko | k3ito: read the manpage (I don't have it handy, as I totally lack X right now) | 17:33 |
| swuboo | tritium: /etc/papersize? I'll check. | 17:33 |
| tritium | !enter | fatih | 17:33 |
| ubotu | fatih: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 17:33 |
| ikonia | xomp I don't think you can use the windows config files | 17:33 |
| Pathum | k | 17:33 |
| Pathum | then | 17:33 |
| miekko | (I mean, I totally lack anything right now) | 17:33 |
| ikonia | fatih: so you know of three clients | 17:33 |
| randomtime | !help enter | 17:33 |

| fatih | if you have solution for dcsharp | 17:33 |
| fatih | or dc++ | 17:33 |
| fatih | is much easier for me | 17:33 |
| k3ito | miekko: k ty | 17:34 |
| ikonia | faintofhearts: dc++ is not packaged on ubuntu use linuxdcpp | 17:34 |
| swuboo | tritium: I don't seem to have such a directory. | 17:34 |
| Pathum | SHADOW147 can i chat u private cz all these msgs are drivin me nuts | 17:34 |
| tritium | fatih: I've already warned you about !enter | 17:34 |
| tritium | swuboo: it's not a directory. It's a file. | 17:34 |
| fatih | enter where i didnt understand | 17:34 |
| Ayabara | I need to do a total reinstall of firefox, after meddling with both FF2 and FF3. Any advice on how I can do this? | 17:34 |

| BlackSunrise | I installed mIrc.. I run it through wine... but it did not create an icon,... where do i find it? | 17:34 |
| xomp | ikonia: thanks, that actually helps a ton. Do you know if maybe I'm needing any further packages installed to get this working? I have vpnc, pptp, network manager vpnc, network manager pptp installed. | 17:35 |
| ikonia | BlackSunrise: join #winehq | 17:35 |
| tritium | swuboo: sudo dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1, and change to letter | 17:35 |
| BlackSunrise | i am in there... | 17:35 |
| randomtime | tritium: orite | 17:35 |
| swuboo | tritium: What should I replace that with? "letter", "letterpaper", "filthynonstandardamericanpapersize?" | 17:35 |
| tritium | randomtime: I'm asking him not to spam the channel | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | wine apps normally install in .wine/Somthing/in/here/program files/whatever | 17:35 |
| ikonia | xomp: I think you'll find the key will be vpnc setup | 17:35 |
| swuboo | tritium: I'll do that. | 17:35 |
| DRebellion | BlackSunrise: why the hell are you running an irc client through wine? use xchat or irssi | 17:35 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 17:35 |
| tritium | swuboo: don't edit it by hand, run the command I gave | 17:35 |
| brobostigon | BlackSunrise: .wine is the folder | 17:35 |
| ikonia | xomp: that's always been the problem component for me, no matter the client | 17:35 |
| Ayabara | BlackSunrise: applications->wine ? | 17:35 |
| swuboo | tritium: Will do. | 17:35 |
| BlackSunrise | xchat won't work,.. | 17:35 |
| hsystemx_ | use kovnersation | 17:35 |
| hsystemx_ | konversation* | 17:35 |
| carl | I need installing Unreal Tournament on ubuntut | 17:35 |
| tritium | swuboo: that should fix things -- let me know. | 17:35 |
| BlackSunrise | konverstaion sucks | 17:36 |
| BlackSunrise | that's what i'm on in here | 17:36 |
| carl | can ne1 git me step by step directions | 17:36 |
| hsystemx_ | im not asking blacksunrise :D | 17:36 |
| ikonia | carl: no | 17:36 |
| fatih | i have a problem with dc clients when i connect hub coz of too many users cpu usage goes till 100 % and i have to force quit | 17:36 |
| Dr_willis | been using chatzilla lately. | 17:36 |
| ikonia | carl: there are website tutorials | 17:36 |
| BlackSunrise | mIrc is better than all the other crap | 17:36 |
| hsystemx_ | windows fan? | 17:36 |
| ikonia | fatih I've told you use linuxdccp as it is packaged for ubuntu | 17:36 |
| tritium | BlackSunrise: all opinion. | 17:36 |
| hsystemx_ | ... | 17:36 |
| Dr_willis | I consider mirc to be.. well.. i wont go there.. | 17:36 |
| ikonia | BlackSunrise: then use it | 17:36 |
| Kaso | Im trying to install 7.10 amd64, it boots from the cd and gives me the option menu, when i select install from cd, it says "I/O error cannot read boot disk" or something similar, anyone know this issue? | 17:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BlackSunrise: Please stop | 17:36 |
| rich__ | i need to exclude a file extension from a search, does anyone know how? | 17:36 |
| === km_ is now known as km-- | ||
| rajasun | BalckSunrise: Tried scrollz, ircii, epic4, irsii yet? | 17:36 |
| brobostigon | carl: i have run it, just copy the installation folder, and run the exe with wine. | 17:36 |
| BlackSunrise | No..I just like the way mIrc is set up.. I can autp join chans and all.. and it has nice colors | 17:37 |
| carl | how I do that | 17:37 |
| Dr_willis | rich__, what search tool? | 17:37 |
| hsystemx_ | BlackSUnrise, anyway windows program SUCKS. | 17:37 |
| ikonia | carl: there are howto's on the web | 17:37 |
| tritium | BlackSunrise: other clients can do exactly the same | 17:37 |
| brobostigon | carl: wine *.exe | 17:37 |
| ikonia | BlackSunrise: thats great, enjoy it | 17:37 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, i can do the same with the other irc clients also. | 17:37 |
| Ayabara | anyone got a tip on how I can remove all firefox-stuff to reinstall it? | 17:37 |
| BlackSunrise | I can't figure out how to... | 17:37 |
| ikonia | Ayabara: why do you want to re-install it | 17:37 |
| rajasun | BalckSunrise: U can do all of those with those clients myself and others have mentioned here | 17:37 |
| rajasun | too | 17:37 |
| swuboo | tritium: That changed /etc/papersize but pdflatex still outputs A4. | 17:37 |
| Junkee | mirc is evil! evil i say! | 17:37 |
| BlackSunrise | and when i open xchat, it automatically closes it | 17:37 |
| tritium | swuboo: you're using gutsy? | 17:38 |
| Junkee | its designed by the man to keep the rest of us down | 17:38 |
| swuboo | tritium: Yes. | 17:38 |
| ikonia | !offtopic | Junkee | 17:38 |
| ubotu | Junkee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 17:38 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, so you havent really used the other irc clients enough to learn their features.. does not mean they suck. Now the xchat issue.. seems odd. | 17:38 |
| hsystemx_ | hahaha | 17:38 |
| carl | where do I install that at | 17:38 |
| Junkee | sorry lol | 17:38 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, we will gladly help you trouble shoot xchat problems. | 17:38 |
| swuboo | tritium: I believe my latex setup is texlive. | 17:38 |
| bera | hi, i need some help to install ati driver | 17:38 |
| ikonia | carl: please search the web for an ubuntu unreal guide | 17:38 |
| BlackSunrise | then help me.. | 17:38 |
| tritium | swuboo: should be | 17:38 |
| brobostigon | carl: wine setup.exe | 17:38 |
| xomp | ikonia: Do you know a way to change the authentication "type" to Cisco instead of "Windows VPN - PPTP" | 17:38 |
| === snes|no is now known as ostekake | ||
| ikonia | xomp: not off the top of my head | 17:39 |
| rich__ | dr willis, using find | 17:39 |
| fatih | ikonia:let me try with linuxdccp | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, theres 2 xchats, xchat-gnome and the normal xchat, try running them from the terminal, and see if any error messages show up. | 17:39 |
| fatih | i already tried but second chance | 17:39 |
| Tyczek | there was a command in terminal to make all icon in deskop small | 17:39 |
| Tyczek | do you know it ? | 17:39 |
| BlackSunrise | sudo xcaht? | 17:39 |
| ikonia | BlackSunrise: no | 17:39 |
| BlackSunrise | is that how i run them? | 17:39 |
| rich__ | i want to do this find / -name [".mp3"] | 17:39 |
| Dr_willis | rich__, find has options to exclude things, its go so many options i cant even rember most of them. | 17:39 |
| ikonia | BlackSunrise: no | 17:39 |
| tritium | swuboo: you could try running texconfig, then | 17:39 |
| ikonia | rich__: do it then | 17:39 |
| hsystemx_ | blacksunrise, just type xchat ... | 17:40 |
| Dr_willis | rich__, not sure that regrexpression is correct. | 17:40 |
| rich__ | i want to do this find / -name [!".mp3"] | 17:40 |
| rich__ | it doesnt work | 17:40 |
| tritium | Just select it from the menu. | 17:40 |
| ikonia | rich__: find / -name '*.mp3' -print | 17:40 |
| swuboo | tritium: Will do. It's odd, because I'm explicitly declaring letter paper in the preamble, and I don't remember ever having this problem before. | 17:40 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, sudo is used for 'root user/system wide' configuration tools. | 17:40 |
| rich__ | i want to exclude mp3s | 17:40 |
| BlackSunrise | lol wasn't installed right | 17:40 |
| ikonia | rich__: what do you want to search for | 17:40 |
| BlackSunrise | i am installing now | 17:40 |
| tritium | swuboo: yes, and I never ran texconfig, and pdflatex produces letter size docs for me | 17:40 |
| Ayabara | ikonia: I followed a how-to to install FF3. Then I removed it, but now FF2 jumps up to 50% cpu load _very_ often | 17:40 |
| rich__ | everything except mp3s | 17:40 |
| leprasmurf | hello all, I've got a rather annoying problem, any help would be greatly appreciated | 17:41 |
| ikonia | rich__: everything on your system except mp3s ? | 17:41 |
| randomtime | leparsmurf: What is your problem? | 17:41 |
| rajasun | BlackSunrise: and you said xchat crashedo on you just now. ;) | 17:41 |
| swuboo | tritium: Ran texconfig, set it to letter, ran pdflatex, and boom. Still A4. | 17:41 |
| ballongen | is there an better program than tmsnc? cant get the isocode 8859-1 or 15 to work | 17:41 |
| rich__ | i just need the expression for excluding a file extension | 17:41 |
| ikonia | rich__: what do you want to search for | 17:41 |
| spdf | Would anyone happen to know about imwheel being disabled when using Twinview? Just set up 2x22", and it seems my mouse has lost functionality | 17:41 |
| tof | rich__, did you tries find / -name -not '*.mp3' -print | 17:41 |
| ikonia | rich__: explain, your not making much sense | 17:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ayabara: Isnt FF3 still beta... | 17:41 |
| leprasmurf | whenever I've been running xorg for an extended period of time, and then try to play a video, the video doesn't display. Instead all that is displayed is a screen full of green/red/black/etc horizontal lines | 17:42 |
| randomtime | Jack_Sparrow: Yes | 17:42 |
| BlackSunrise | it still automatically closes xchat | 17:42 |
| BlackSunrise | even then new one | 17:42 |
| Ayabara | Jack_Sparrow: yep.. that's where I went wrong ;) | 17:42 |
| randomtime | !xorg | 17:42 |

| osfameron | rich__: find ! -name *.mp3 -print | 17:42 |
| The_Joe_ | Yesterday I installed Flash through Firefox and it still tells me to install it when I try to watch Flash video. | 17:42 |
| === julio is now known as andres_ | ||
| tof | rich__, but it will find EVERYTHING except mp3s.. | 17:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ayabara: Yep | 17:42 |
| osfameron | rich__: the "!" inverts the logic | 17:42 |
| leprasmurf | happens in totem, vlc, Myth front end | 17:42 |
| ikonia | tof: I smell something fishy | 17:42 |
| ikonia | osfameron: ! shouldn't worth with find | 17:42 |
| leprasmurf | randomtime: is that in response to my issue? | 17:42 |
| rich__ | throws an error | 17:42 |
| osfameron | ikonia: oh, you can also do -not. But ! works for me | 17:43 |
| ikonia | rich__: what do you actually want to do ? | 17:43 |
| MystaMax | hello, how do I check a computer NIC speed from the commandline? | 17:43 |
| ikonia | osfameron: really, surprised | 17:43 |
| osfameron | ikonia: and it's documented under OPERATORS in man find | 17:43 |
| randomtime | leprasmurf: Urm.. I don't know much about internal workins of X | 17:43 |
| swuboo | tritium: Well, thanks for trying. I guess it's probably just a bug in pdfTeX. | 17:43 |
| ikonia | osfameron: looking | 17:43 |
| rich__ | i know osfameron but it doesnt seem to work mate | 17:43 |
| Dr_willis | MystaMax, ethtool i belive does that. | 17:43 |
| tritium | swuboo: what does your \documentclass line say? | 17:43 |
| BlackSunrise | Why is xcaht closing automatically when i open it? | 17:43 |
| rich__ | can you give me the example expression? | 17:43 |
| pike_ | MystaMax: wget maybe might give you some idea depending on what youre wanting to check | 17:43 |
| tritium | swuboo: no, I doubt it's a bug in pdflatex. It's working fine for me. | 17:43 |
| leprasmurf | randomtime: but was your comment in reference to mine? or was it directed at someone else | 17:43 |
| ikonia | rich__: I'm still not %100 clear what you actually wnat to do | 17:43 |
| tritium | swuboo: did you verify that /etc/papersize was changed? | 17:43 |
| hsystemx_ | BlackSunrise, dont know, tell me? (run xchat from terminal, and look if it throws an error..) | 17:44 |
| osfameron | rich__: oh, I missed out the path. So "find . ! etc." | 17:44 |
| rich__ | search for everyfile that isnt an mp3 in a directory | 17:44 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, i would guess a setting, theres no messages in the terminal when yoyu type 'xchat' ? it just opens/closes, and reports nothing? | 17:44 |
| ikonia | rich__: you realise you'll get 10000000's of results | 17:44 |
| randomtime | leprasmurf: Just wanted to check I was on the same page (if your talking about my !xorg) | 17:44 |
| BlackSunrise | when i runs xchat from terminal, it opens xchat and closes aautmatically | 17:44 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, you coule try removing the .xchat2 directory and restarting xchat | 17:44 |
| fiXXXerMet | So I have a harddrive here with XFS that seems to be dead... bad superblock magic number 0, giving up.... xfs_repair couldn't fix it (couldn't find the superblock). What am I to do? | 17:44 |
| l3ttuc3 | is there a workaround for jerky video playback under xorg with fglrx drivers, using ubuntu 7.10 and an ati xpress 1100. | 17:44 |
| osfameron | depends on the directory I suppose | 17:44 |
| ikonia | osfameron: then he may as well just do "ls -R | grep -v *.mp3 | 17:44 |
| leprasmurf | randomtime: yes | 17:44 |
| ikonia | osfameron: then he may as well just do "ls -R | grep -v .mp3 | 17:44 |
| swuboo | tritium: I did. It is, in fact, letter now. | 17:44 |
| ikonia | osfameron: I suspec something more is not being told | 17:45 |
| rich__ | no i wont because i only have mp3 in this directory | 17:45 |
| ikonia | suspect | 17:45 |
| rich__ | except for one rogue file | 17:45 |
| tritium | swuboo: please paste your \documentclass line | 17:45 |
| ikonia | rich__: so then you don't need to search | 17:45 |
| BlackSunrise | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 17:45 |
| ikonia | rich__: ls | -v .mp3 | 17:45 |
| leprasmurf | fiXXXerMet: you could try dd to pull whatever info off the hard drive and put it elsewhere, then try going through the info that's pulled | 17:45 |
| osfameron | ikonia: yeah, ls and grep are good too. But find is worth learning (though it's infuriating) | 17:45 |
| Dr_willis | BlackSunrise, thats odd.. its crashing hard time. | 17:45 |
| rajasun | BlackSunrise: type xchat in a terminal as u have been told. Paste any errors in pastebin and then give the channel the link, so that we can take a look at it | 17:45 |

| brobostigon | nickrud: i thought it was del | 17:51 |
| Bodsda | del is not a command | 17:51 |

| __SchmRz__ | nickrud, current stable version of gtk is 2.10 and i have 2.8 (just installed it as you told me) | 18:03 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sdakak: MOst I have talked with didnt see enough speed for the time it took... | 18:03 |
| |rt| | 64bit != faster | 18:03 |
| sdakak | Jack_Sparrow: i was hoping the forums and there were workarounds for all problems for 64 bit stuff. | 18:03 |
| nickrud | __SchmRz__: if you need later than is provided in your ubuntu, you'll either need to upgrade or compile the libs yourself (I strongly recommend the former) | 18:03 |
| pestilence | Kaso: yes, you should be able to have grub boot it | 18:04 |
| Kaso | How'd i go about that? | 18:04 |
| pestilence | Kaso: dunno, google :-D | 18:04 |
| ienmfg | hi im newbie...i dun know anything about linux but i love watching geek chat in here : ) | 18:04 |
| pestilence | Kaso: you will need to add an entry to /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sdakak: Workarounds and running 32 bit versions will cause a performance hit , which is why you go to 64 in the first place | 18:04 |
| tifine | rgnr: i dont need avant browser may be u didnt understand wat i meant ? click on the website http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019 | 18:04 |
| __SchmRz__ | nickrud, i'm sorry. my english is very poor so what do u mean by "the former" is that the first option or the second one :D | 18:04 |
| pestilence | Kaso: it should be similar to the entry for memtest... | 18:05 |
| nickrud | __SchmRz__: first one :) | 18:05 |
| sdakak | Jack_Sparrow: i would have gone ahead with 64bit but for one problem. The wizardpen driver that i need for my tablet does not work in amd64 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TabletSetupWizardpen | 18:05 |

| Truman_ | Hey, I'm trying to get network-manager-pptp to work & it says that after I apt-get it, I should just have to click on the network manager icon & select vpn, but when I click all I get is "manual configuration" .. any one have any ideas? | 18:23 |
| burwaco_ | I have a little problem... | 18:23 |
| === burwaco_ is now known as burwaco | ||
| nickrud | Truman_: try the manual configuration, on the screen that pops up vpn will probably be on the dropdown (never tried vpn myself, but based on other experience..) | 18:24 |
| burwaco | I just received a new laptop for work, and it's running vista, I need win xp for work and ubuntu for home, now... I'd like it to trippleboot vista/xp/ubuntu how can I do that with vista already installed ? | 18:24 |
| Truman_ | nickrud: I poked around there, there isn't anything that deals with adding new connections/setting up a vpn or anything along those lines | 18:24 |
| evil_tech | everytime i boot i get a message the gnome settings are different from x settings and i have to select which one to use | 18:24 |

| th0r | burwaco don't know...don't even know if my method would work. I think the problem is going to be that no matter which windows you install second, it isn't going to allow for the first one | 18:30 |

| am3r1ca_ | i am constantly | 18:32 |

| ac7ss | Can anyone help me with my not being able to start a second X session? | 18:33 |
| am3r1ca_ | disconnected from the internet | 18:33 |
| ac7ss | xomp: yes. I use evolution with exchange server. | 18:33 |
| Offoffoff | lemontea: he is right | 18:33 |
| lemontea | pike_ what does sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils will it restart my sound drive ? | 18:33 |
| xomp | ac7ss: thanks, I'll check it out :) | 18:33 |
| th0r | lemontea check the alsactl command | 18:34 |
| am3r1ca_ | i think i get a modprobe error at login | 18:34 |
| Offoffoff | lemontea: It restarts sound system | 18:34 |
| xomp | ac7ss: is it pretty easy to configure? Do you have a site or some instructions on setting up evolution for exchange 5.5? | 18:34 |
| ac7ss | xomp: all you need is the web access address, and put it into evolution as a new client. | 18:34 |
| xomp | ac7ss: the webmail or "OWA" address? | 18:34 |

| Shadow147 | rgnr pretty soon I will have to go lay down I had got done with have a tooth of mine pulled | 18:36 |
| brobostigon | am3r1ca_: that happen on my desktop with on of my wifi adaptor, the drivers were dodgy. | 18:36 |
| wondering | would anyone know what country has the directional code +30? | 18:36 |
| miekko | hm. my kUbuntu amd64 7.10 install CD fails the select and install software part | 18:36 |
| miekko | roughly what apt-get commands does that part correspond to? | 18:36 |
| rgnr | Shadow147: tooth ache? ЖЗ | 18:36 |
| am3r1ca_ | brobostigon: how did you resolve? | 18:36 |
| lemontea | pike_ so i type in "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart"? | 18:37 |
| Flannel | miekko: Verify the CD (check it for defects | 18:37 |
| Junkee | miekko, any messages when it fails? | 18:37 |
| brobostigon | am3r1ca_: i had to use ndiswrapper | 18:37 |
| miekko | Junkee: no messages | 18:37 |
| pike_ | lemontea: sure wont hurt anything | 18:37 |
| Spee_Der | I think +30 is Greece. | 18:37 |
| wondering | Greece? Thank you | 18:37 |
| miekko | Flannel: I found a defect, but it's not like i have any possibility of burning a new one right now | 18:37 |
| miekko | but I have grub installed etc | 18:37 |
| am3r1ca_ | what driver was it by the way? | 18:37 |
| lemontea | pike_ it did go through the restart alsa | 18:37 |
| miekko | so if I can get around it by using apt-get instead from a base system, that'd be enough | 18:37 |
| Junkee | miekko: next step is to do what Flannel said, check cd for defects | 18:37 |
| miekko | Junkee: I already did | 18:37 |
| Junkee | and check the md5 checksum | 18:38 |
| miekko | and I found one | 18:38 |
| xomp | ac7ss: it appears that Evolution doesn't like Exchange 5.5. It only supports Exchange 2000/2003 | 18:38 |
| miekko | but! | 18:38 |
| Flannel | miekko: What package does it fail on? do you know? | 18:38 |
| Spee_Der | wondering, yes. it is for Greece. | 18:38 |
| miekko | plz | 18:38 |
| Junkee | redownload the iso and reburn at a slower speed if you found a defect | 18:38 |
| brobostigon | am3r1ca_: it was a netgear adaptor, i cant remeber the model, i have got rid off it since | 18:38 |
| miekko | Junkee: I CAN'T right now | 18:38 |
| Junkee | or make sure the cd is clear of dust/dirt | 18:38 |
| miekko | Junkee: so it would be roughly a million times easier to just use apt-get since I have a base system anyway! | 18:38 |
| zepard | hi people | 18:38 |
| wondering | spee_der: would you also know +47? :p | 18:38 |
| Flannel | miekko: Unfortunately if theres a defect, it means something is broken. You might get lucky and be able to limp along. | 18:38 |

| Ward1983 | jrib, that only returns a bunch of "file or directory doestn exist" | 18:54 |

| miekko | Flannel: I understand that. I've done a fair share of gentoo installations | 18:55 |
| jrib | Brandon__: well, you shouldn't 'sudo su' anyway. Use 'sudo -i' if you need to. But, only users in the "admin" group can use sudo | 18:55 |
| IdleOne | Brandon__: I believe the user has to be part of the admin group | 18:55 |

| ubotu | AC0RN: 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. | 19:32 |
| fiXXXerMet | I have a drive with a XFS partition that I can no longer mount - it can't the superblock. xfs_repair tells me that it can't do anything because it can't find the superblock. How else can I recover the data? | 19:32 |
| th0r | rezeptor since write and delete are the same operation that will be very difficutl to implement | 19:32 |
| rezeptor | yes,i know...but some time ago i logged in on a ftpserver where guys could upload mixsets (mp3s)...but i wasn't able to delete anything | 19:33 |
| rezeptor | so i thougt i'd be possible to set up such a scenario with simple an easy mannor... | 19:34 |
| th0r | rezeptor the only way I can envision setting that up would be to change the permissions on the 'rm' executable | 19:34 |
| SkY` | hi all, I've a problem with the swap partition. it isn't active and if i try to enable it with mkswap and swapon, it becomes inactive at the next reboot. what can I do? thank you | 19:34 |
| CarlFK | http://dpaste.com/31048/ /etc/hdparm.conf - is that correct format, and is there a way I can tell hdparam to read it without a reboot? | 19:34 |

| AC0RN | it says it on there anymore | 19:35 |

| Kanedacorp | woodmaven: what are you stuck on? | 19:42 |
| DRebellion | !ask | WoodMaven | 19:42 |

| Scunizi | WoodMaven: IRC hint, when talking to someone specific, put their nick in the line. It will highlight and/or beep to the person you're talking to. | 19:44 |
| whatspy | hi, my xorg.conf has like 4-5 entries of displays, they're basically all the same except the "Depth", how can I find out which depth is currently enabled on my display ? | 19:44 |
| randomwalker | Kanedacorp, yes | 19:44 |
| Scunizi | WoodMaven: nicks are easier to complete by typing the first few characters then hitting tab.. look to see if it completed the nick correctly. If not try again with more characters. | 19:45 |
| WoodMaven | Scunizi How's that? | 19:45 |
| whatspy | I'd like to remove the other "Depths" so that DWM automatically takes the right one (currently it sets the screen to a way too high resolution) | 19:45 |
| Jod-s | Hi, could anyone...? | 19:45 |

| yapyccky | hello everyone, i've a big problem. it seems to me i've deleted some important packages and now noutilis doesnt workanymore... | 19:46 |

| CarlFK | can grub boot from a bootable CD? | 19:47 |

| Jod-s | x4andi: thank you | 19:47 |
| WoodMaven | Scunizi I think that I am trying to set up a dual boot, as I understand it Parallels will allow me to run both osx and ubuntu at the same time | 19:47 |
| randomwalker | Kanedacorp if that's what youre trying to do you should probably just put sudo inside the file | 19:47 |
| Shadow147 | <Kanedacorp> use sudo | 19:47 |
| dusty-sts | Hey guys, ttp://pastebin.com/m77b9f374 the only thing is the laptop screen is moveable around the edges with the mouse, and when i move the mouse to the flatpanel screen it goes to a white box not a mouse pointer how do i fix this? also i want to extend the desktop to the other window so its one big screen? | 19:47 |
| randomwalker | shell scripts will drop setuid permissions anyway so it wont work | 19:48 |
| Jod-s | X4andi: I am unable to get the NetworkManager applet in the systray, incredible. I do not know why if I'm sure it is installed... | 19:48 |
| Scunizi | WoodMaven: ok.. dual boot will give you one or the other... do you have bootcamp? | 19:48 |
| x4nd1 | Jod-s: it should be installed by default in 7.10 | 19:48 |
| WoodMaven | Scunizi no, I am using Parallels | 19:48 |
| x4nd1 | Jod-s: it is called nm-applet | 19:49 |
| Kanedacorp | randomwalker: should it work using sudo inside the script? | 19:49 |
| Jod-s | When adding things to the systray (right click over it) there is nothing called nm-applet, or similar... I'm sure | 19:49 |
| randomwalker | Kanedacorp i guess so.. try it | 19:49 |
| Jod-s | x4andi: I knew... | 19:49 |
| dusty-sts | Spee_Der, any ideas? | 19:50 |
| Jod-s | x4nd1: But it doesn't appears..! | 19:50 |
| Kanedacorp | if I dissapear, it's probably worked ;) | 19:50 |
| x4nd1 | Jod-s: please try to start it with Alt+F2 (you can also check if nm-applet is running with the command 'ps xa' in the console) | 19:50 |
| Scunizi | WoodMaven: correct me if I'm wrong, but will Parallels allow you to load Mac's OS and Linux at the same time and let you bounce back and forth between the two or is it transparent. That is running programs for both at the same time? | 19:50 |
| Miles-Prower | How to verify fs integrity on a USB key mounted on /dev/sdc ? fsck.vfat tells me it doesn't know how to handle 165 types of FQT, just 1 or 2 | 19:50 |

| Shadow147 | Junkee I can't even run it | 19:51 |
| Spee_Der | dusty-sts, sorry, none. | 19:51 |
| Junkee | Shadow147: same here lol | 19:51 |
| Scunizi | WoodMaven: ok.. to install you have to be able to boot to the Ubuntu Live CD from within parelles. Do you know how to do that? | 19:52 |
| pike_ | Miles-Prower: have you considered copying the data off and the reformating in linux before copying it back? tedious i know. im not sure otherwise | 19:52 |
| Jod-s | x4ndi: yes, it seems it is in the background running. I dit a ps xa | grep applet, and I saw it, but... why it doesn't appear in the systray? | 19:52 |
| Junkee | when it locks up on my i just go play some GH3 or Rock Band to satisfy the urge | 19:52 |
| Junkee | my = me | 19:52 |
| Miles-Prower | pike_, it's a 2Gb drive, and i'm using a Eee PC, meaning I have a 4Gb internal drive only | 19:53 |

| _hakon_ | What torrent clients do you recommend for ubuntu? | 19:53 |
| WoodMaven | Scunizi I downloaded ubuntu 7.10 burnt a disc, as instructed, but parallels won't see the disc | 19:53 |
| spdf | _hakon_, I'm a fan of rtorrent | 19:53 |
| pike_ | Miles-Prower: oh i see. you still running default eeepc os or did yo install something else? just curious i was planning on getting one | 19:54 |
| neverblue | _hakon_, ktorrent | 19:54 |
| Junkee | Shadow147: yeah im getting the same feeling about mine, other than that i cant run the 32bit install, just 64bit lol | 19:54 |
| Pici | !torrent | _hakon_ | 19:54 |
| ubotu | _hakon_: Torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html - See also !P2P | 19:54 |
| Junkee | Deluge is a nice client, it's what i use | 19:54 |
| _hakon_ | neverblue: That is for KDE | 19:54 |
| pike_ | _hakon_: deluge or ktorrent personally i use wine+utorrent which i prefer | 19:55 |
| Pici | _hakon_: I use ktorrent on gnome, its nice. | 19:55 |
| Jod-s | x4andi: that's the another problem, related.. I've unplugged the wire eth0, and wireless works OK almost all the time... but precisely in the roaming mode...and I don't want that most of the times, at home... | 19:55 |
| Junkee | _hakon_: you can use ktorrent on gnome lol | 19:55 |
| encKe | deluge! | 19:55 |
| Miles-Prower | pike_, default Xandros - fulfills best what I need | 19:55 |
| neverblue | _hakon_, there is not such thing as 'for KDE' | 19:55 |
| Junkee | it just has to satisfy some dependencies | 19:55 |
| _hakon_ | Junkee: will do | 19:55 |
| Palintheus | I use deluge, but the one from the official website so it has a scheduler | 19:55 |
| Miles-Prower | (with a few Debian-inherited apps) | 19:55 |
| Junkee | try Deluge though, its rather nice | 19:55 |
| tatters | I have created a custom install of ubuntu-server and created a liveCD using systemremaster my problem is the liveCD boots to a login screen so not entirely sure how to start the install process from command line? | 19:56 |
| Junkee | Yup i used the one from the site too, its working well | 19:56 |
| Scunizi | WoodMaven: Ok you probably need parallels "Image" of Ubuntu to get it to run.. here's a link I found for an image.. not sure which version of Ubuntu it is though. Looks like Xubuntu. http://digg.com/linux_unix/Triple_Boot_Using_Parallels_Run_Ubuntu_on_your_Macbook_using_Parallels | 19:56 |
| x4nd1 | Jod-s: afaik network manager manages only cards dat have roaming enabled | 19:56 |
| Junkee | i lost my disc 5 of world of warcraft, so im having to use Deluge to grab it from torrent | 19:56 |

| addy_ | есть кто из России? | 19:58 |
| Jod-s | x4nd1: OK, but if most of the times it turns its behavour to roaming mode, despite it isn't configured to do that..., the nm-applet in the systray doesnt exist | 19:58 |
| Scunizi | WoodMaven: here's another link that might be more helpful. It shows how to use any Ubuntu ISO image in Parallels. http://xanana.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Running_Linux_via_Parallels_inside_another_operating_system | 19:58 |

| dasprid | hey, i've got a problem with the ubuntu installation (alternative) | 20:13 |
| _Andrew | verb3k, sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop | 20:13 |
| swx_ | Is there anyone who knows how to resolve the "md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz" problem when installing flashplugin-nonfree in gutsy? | 20:13 |
| jacquesdupontd | i'm searching for somethin since 24 hour now i've slept 2 hours | 20:13 |
| Alyxander | hey guys is there a way to create an installable live ISO from my current installed desktop with all the tweaks? | 20:13 |
| Pici | !flashissues | swx_ | 20:13 |
| ubotu | swx_: 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. | 20:13 |
| dasprid | the installation cannot find a fitting kernel | 20:13 |
| jacquesdupontd | can someone help me ? it's very very difficult | 20:13 |
| EDinNY | sigra: try "top" | 20:14 |
| brobostigon | sigra: see what it says with top?? | 20:14 |
| scguy318 | !ask | jacquesdupontd | 20:14 |
| jacquesdupontd | i've been searching with the french channel | 20:14 |
| jacquesdupontd | nobody found | 20:14 |
| swx_ | thks Pici | 20:14 |
| sigra | type top into terminal? | 20:14 |
| ompaul | fatih_, run vmstat 10 and do man vmstat - it should tell you the bottle neck and you can give it more disk / ram / cpu as your pocket figures out | 20:14 |
| verb3k | _Andrew, that's really nice, thank you....I'll try it | 20:14 |
| ubotu | jacquesdupontd: 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 |

| Alyxander | hey guys is there a way to create an installable live ISO from my current installed desktop with all the tweaks? | 20:14 |
| x4nd1 | Jod-s: strange that it wants to reboot. if you want to restart the network manager you can do this with killall nm-applet and then start it againt | 20:14 |
| verb3k | _Andrew, ok | 20:14 |
| swx_ | Pici: Is there a date for the official fix or it goes to heron? | 20:14 |

| adub | has anyone in here tried staroffice | 20:27 |
| dasprid | DerangedDelusion, sudo apt-get install amarok | 20:27 |
| Pici | dasprid: It sounds like your processor doesnt want to support the 32bit install | 20:27 |
| reeeh2000 | pici: a variant is not the same thing as a custom distro | 20:27 |
| nickrud | jacquesdupontd: no, you would have to compile some really experimental kernel modules to add support. Not a simple task | 20:27 |

| Pici | reeeh2000: Suggesting someone to add the Linux Mint repositories is. | 20:27 |
| dwxreaper | can i run outlook and visio anyway? | 20:27 |
| Alyxander | pici we are discussing customizing ubuntu live cds | 20:27 |
| dasprid | what can i do? | 20:27 |
| DerangedDelusion | dasprid - Isn't Amarok reliant on alot of KDE-only libraries? I already have it installed, but it's depending on alot of those libraries. | 20:27 |
| brobostigon | dwxreaper: wine | 20:27 |
| Pici | Alyxander: I was referring to the suggestion to add the Mint repos. | 20:27 |
| reeeh2000 | pici: uhh... no. remastersys is a program that creates a custom livecd from the existing install | 20:28 |
| dwxreaper | brobostigon: wine will work for office/visio/outlook ? | 20:28 |
| dasprid | DerangedDelusion, it has kde depencies, but those will be automaticaly installed | 20:28 |
| Alyxander | pici he was suggesting an application and giving me the full detail as to how to get it | 20:28 |
| brobostigon | dwxreaper: no idea, | 20:28 |
| Pici | reeeh2000: 15:23:57 <reeeh2000> alyxander: its called remastersys, if i remember correctly you have to enable the linux mint romeo repos | 20:28 |

| dwxreaper | brobostigon: well you figure it out and windows will go downhill :) | 20:28 |
| reeeh2000 | pici: right. adding a repo != spinning a distro | 20:28 |
| brobostigon | dwxreaper: try, and tell us if they do work?? | 20:29 |
| Pici | reeeh2000: But those repos are not for Ubuntu, they are for a variant that we do not support. | 20:29 |
| mullet- | i like clipper ships | 20:29 |

| gangalee | how do I change the hostname? I thought I did it before, but it didn't stick and now I can't sudo among other things... | 20:29 |
| DerangedDelusion | dasprid - Then it's unrelated that Amarok won't play MP3 files, with or without the support installed, under GNOME? | 20:29 |

| brobostigon | dwxreaper: try wine, we will be interested of those apps do work under wine. | 20:30 |
| reeeh2000 | gangalee: modify /etc/hostname | 20:30 |
| Pici | dasprid: Thats what that error message leads me to believe, or there is a bios setting that is precluding you from enabling 32bit mode. | 20:30 |
| dasprid | DerangedDelusion, that requires xine extra codecs | 20:30 |
| gangalee | reeeh2000- modify isn't a command. I tried to vi /etc/hostname, but I can't sudo | 20:30 |

| beat_ | how can i play .flv files on ubuntu 7.10 | 20:44 |
| PriceChild | ubuntunibs, i'd say reinstall then | 20:44 |
| === beat_ is now known as laklaklak | ||
| laklaklak | what | 20:44 |
| PriceChild | NWH_Ed, that is microsoft software for windows. Look into qemu, virtualbox or vmware for ubunt. | 20:44 |
| brenix | anyone know how to install/get pcf/bdf fonts working in gtk2 programs? | 20:44 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: are you on liveCD ? | 20:44 |
| laklaklak | how can i play .flv files | 20:45 |
| ubuntunibs | PriceChild, isn't just some way I can stick the kernel over to the /boot and force grub to boot from that? | 20:45 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, yes, I'm on a live CD right now | 20:45 |
| CyberGabber | NWH_Ed: Click in virtualpc on the desktop of your ubuntu, and press simultanisly ctrl alt + or ctrl alt - this will cahnge the resolution, maybe this helps... | 20:45 |
| Tom47 | what is the cache for, and how long does it accumulate mail, under the ~/.evolution/mail/pop/user@mail.domain/cache structure? | 20:45 |
| NWH_Ed | Is there a free version for VMware? | 20:45 |
| choudesh | I need a bit of help here. I am customizing the liveCD, trying to add the dist/pool folders. It seems when I add these folders, sqaushfs just hangs on boot up | 20:45 |
| PriceChild | NWH_Ed, free? | 20:45 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: then maybe you can find the vmlinux within the liveCD and put it in /boot | 20:45 |
| NWH_Ed | Yeah | 20:45 |
| DinCahill | VirtualBox | 20:45 |
| zappZapp | hoi girls n guys. i'be got an issue with my als300+ sound chip, i refused to play back any sound. while i was looking for help i installed alsa 1.0.15 from source, now i can hear sound but it sounds more like an old tape being played back too slow | 20:45 |
| === turambar is now known as koleoptero | ||
| DinCahill | its not VMWare, but it's a free virtual machine | 20:45 |
| PriceChild | ubuntunibs, "yes"... but the problem is a hell of a lot of files have disappeared, which will confuse apt. | 20:46 |
| NWH_Ed | I think it's working in safe graphics mode | 20:46 |

| dwxreaper | shortcut | 20:46 |
| knoppix | hi | 20:46 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: do you want to experiment with me? and see how far you can recover? | 20:46 |
| PriceChild | ubuntunibs, ubu_klon i'd suggest using apt to replace vmlinux if you're going to do it that way | 20:46 |
| unagi | is there a way to view videos frame by frame forward and backward in ubuntu/ | 20:46 |
| zappZapp | dwxreaper: you mean like cntrl + F1 | 20:46 |
| ubuntunibs | PriceChild, ubu_klon what If I chrooted into my current install and told it to install the kernel or something? | 20:46 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, yes, experiment away | 20:47 |
| nexamac | dwxreaper: ctrl+f1/2/3/4/etc | 20:47 |
| knoppix | spricht hier jemand deutsch? | 20:47 |
| dasprid | jo | 20:47 |
| dasprid | aber das heißt nichts :P | 20:47 |
| dwxreaper | err found it, ctr+alt+(left or right) switches between virtual desktops | 20:47 |
| knoppix | wie gut? | 20:47 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: exact same idea, chroot to / and then look for your cdrom or as PriceChild suggest update via apt to get the vmlinuz | 20:47 |
| NWH_Ed | Thanks people It's working now :) | 20:47 |
| dasprid | sogut dass man glauben könnte, ich wäre in deutschland geboren ;) | 20:47 |

| Leonox | hi, I have a real problem with my ubuntu instalation, everything use to work until I made some updates.. the original instalation is a 64 bits 7.04... | 20:47 |
| nickrud | ubuntunibs: that's the right direction. Set up a proper chroot with /dev mounted , reinstall the kernel and update-grub and grub-install | 20:48 |
| DinCahill | like two of dasprid's letters came up as odd letters | 20:48 |

| dasprid | knoppix, bonn | 20:48 |
| ubu_klon | i just had a hd partition crashed on me (my hdb1), the mbr refers to this partition because grub default refers to my hdb1 as default 0 for boot, I remove hdb and cant boot, How I can fix this mbr so it does not refer to my hdb ? I have other bootable os on hda10 | 20:48 |

| zappZapp | brobostigon: das schöne neumünster ... | 20:49 |
| brobostigon | yep | 20:49 |

| Leonox | ANY IDEA? | 20:50 |
| ubu_klon | nickrud: i'll browse for upgrade-grub and see what it does | 20:51 |
| Leonox | very extrage... I would say a MEGA BUG or what? | 20:51 |
| CyberGabber | NWH_Ed: Press alt F1 to get the menu, than use cursorkeys... | 20:51 |
| nickrud | ubu_klon: it rebuilds your menu.lst, scanning partitions for bootable os's | 20:51 |
| knoppix | Und Tschüß | 20:51 |

| DinCahill | oh those accents did work | 20:51 |
| DinCahill | hmm | 20:52 |
| ubu_klon | nickrud okay thanks for the tip | 20:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leonox: Did you install flash.. are you running a firefox version other than the one from official repos etc? | 20:52 |
| Leonox | dasprid: any idea how to solve it? | 20:52 |
| nickrud | ubuntunibs: a sec, I'll find a howto to create a chroot | 20:52 |
| dasprid | Leonox, nope | 20:52 |
| === nexamac is now known as NexaMac | ||
| dasprid | here it seemed to be a problem with defect ram | 20:52 |
| NWH_Ed | Microsoft Virtual PC is a load of **** | 20:52 |
| dasprid | but maybe it was software failure | 20:52 |
| dasprid | i dont know, currently im having problems with reinstalling ubuntu | 20:52 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: you are already chroot'ed to / right? then mount -o loop -t iso9660 /dev/wherecdrom /mnt | 20:52 |
| Leonox | Jack_Sparrow: "Every thing comes from the repository... with the exception of flash plugin" | 20:52 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, no I'm not chrooted, I can't remember how to mount my hd | 20:53 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: you can chroot to the ramfs, just type chroot / | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leonox: Everything from official repos.. except flash.. and how did you install flash and where did you get it | 20:53 |
| dasprid | ubuntunibs, hm, 64 bit installation seems to work | 20:53 |
| dasprid | wird | 20:53 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: as root off course | 20:53 |
| dasprid | weird | 20:53 |

| andre | anyone have an idea where to look? | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dasprid: What? | 20:54 |
| andre | in kcontrolcenter the keys are defined | 20:54 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, I thought I should chroot to my /root partition on my 1st hd, then mount my /boot partition | 20:54 |
| brobostigon | flash is broken, last i looked. | 20:54 |

| ubotu | NOTICE - There is a lot of traffic in this channel at the moment. Please try to keep your sentences into a single message, avoid repeating the same question multiple times, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org for pasting, remember to mention the nickname of the person you're addressing, and join #ubuntu-offtopic for anything that is not Ubuntu support. Thank you for understanding! | 20:55 |
| dasprid | Jack_Sparrow: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:55 |
| brobostigon | dasprid: isnt flash still broken?? | 20:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dasprid: That is currently broken per the topic of this channel and the bot trigger | 20:55 |
| dasprid | ah | 20:55 |
| dasprid | well | 20:56 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: if you chroot to /root then you dont have all the proc fs mounted and such, staying in ramfs i believe is easier..from there you can mount anything and save stuff | 20:56 |
| dasprid | then download it from adobe | 20:56 |
| dasprid | and copy it to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 20:56 |
| Flare183 | !enter | dasprid | 20:56 |
| ubotu | dasprid: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:56 |
| ubuntunibs | dasprid, brobostigon I think you can set your self up with a 32bit ver of firefox & flash if you have to | 20:56 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: you can try, we are experimenting remember? | 20:56 |
| DinCahill | brb, gonna test a dvd in windows because the sound wont work in ubuntu | 20:56 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, right, ok I'll do that | 20:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Leonox: I would remove flash completely and reinstall per the bot link.. I personally used the one from hardy and seems to work fine for me.. but works for me.. you know the rest | 20:56 |

| Leonox | Jack_Sparrow: what about the extrange thing when I logged into Ubuntu... the small window get frozzed and doesn't disappear onece every thing is loaded | 20:57 |
| ubotu | killown|away: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.

| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, I can't chroot to /root its not permitted | 20:57 |

| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: now try chroot / | 20:57 |
| CyberGabber | NWH_Ed: Use VirtualBox, its also for windows, and its free, and fast.. There's also an OpenSource version of Virtualbox for ubuntu/linux, whith good support on irc-channels | 20:57 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: sudo -i first though | 20:57 |

| oklopol | well, xchat takes 3 minute lags during conversations | 21:01 |
| gnuskool | i got lba and chs mismatch, how do i fix that? | 21:01 |
| oklopol | makes it a bit hard to think | 21:01 |

| Flare183 | !mbr | Eyemean | 21:01 |

| zor0 | what do I need to do to add myself to a group besides run usermod -a -G fuse [username] ? I did that and the groups command still doesn't show that I'm a member even though I can see it is modifying /etc/group | 21:01 |

| Tom47 | in evolution there are some huge pop mail caches that seem to grow and row ... anyone know how to contain this? | 21:02 |
| tritium | oklopol: you just need to type /highlight oklopol | 21:02 |
| Boglizk | Where do i put a font file? (pcf) | 21:03 |
| dooglus | Tom47: delete them | 21:03 |
| zor0 | ubu_klon: I can see that the command modified that /etc/group file correctly, but it still doesn't work, when I run the group command it doesn't show the group. How do I make the system reread that file? | 21:03 |
| Flare183 | tritium: /home/ (username)/.fonts | 21:03 |
| brenix | Boglizk: Im having the same issues as you Boglizk | 21:03 |
| dooglus | Tom47: I reported a bug about it. after a year or so - it was confirmed, yay! :) | 21:03 |
| Tom47 | dooglus is this possible within evolution? | 21:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: You should still be able to get to grub menu and boot from the old kernal | 21:03 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: so you can browse the contetns of /dev/sda1 ? | 21:03 |
| oklopol | tritium: what will that do exactly? | 21:03 |
| Flare183 | crap without the space | 21:03 |
| dooglus | Tom47: no, evolution is broken in that respect | 21:03 |
| Tom47 | dooglus ah ok | 21:03 |
| Rubiks120 | oo ok good idea | 21:03 |
| brenix | Boglizk: it would be in the /usr/share/fonts/.... folder | 21:03 |

| ubu_klon | zor0: you have added yourself to such group? and group command doesnt show you belong? cat /etc/group to verify | 21:04 |
| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs hang let me see what i have on my /boot | 21:04 |
| dooglus | Tom47: thanks. it's not easy with the ubuntu people | 21:04 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, yes, /dev/sda1 is empty... it apparently got formatted to FAT 32, so I'm going to change it back to ext2 | 21:04 |
| zor0 | ubu_klon: yes, I've done that, I see fuse:121:x:ian in the file | 21:04 |
| youknowme | does anyone have some experience with slimserver, and could help me? | 21:05 |
| ubu_klon | zor0: i dont know then, reboot? | 21:05 |
| zor0 | when does the system read this? do I need to log out/in? it seems like there should be a better way than closing all the stuff I'm working on | 21:05 |
| Tom47 | dooglus do you have the bug identifier? | 21:05 |
| dooglus | Tom47: I've not had it accepted by the gnome folks yet though: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356456 - but it's only been 16 months | 21:05 |

| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: let me private you ..if I can | 21:07 |

| * Xintruder waves at Jack_Sparrow | 21:07 | |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 what happens if you open a terminal and type 'xmms' or 'xmms2'? one or the other should work | 21:07 |
| drgonzo00000 | should i uninstall xmms2 and install xmms? | 21:07 |
| ikonia | drgonzo00000: think of xmms 2 as a client server product, and xmms as a music player | 21:07 |
| Flare183 | Brandon__: yeah can't remember how and it's not recommeneded | 21:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: You should just be able to hit escape on boot and get to the list that would let you select from any of the options | 21:08 |
| Xintruder | ikonia: hey! | 21:08 |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 I use xmms...but I do understand that 2 is replacing the original I though hesitate to give up something that works so good | 21:08 |
| Flare183 | sorry I can't spel | 21:08 |

| dusty-sts | Anyone know much about dual headed monitor setups in ubuntu gutsy? | 21:08 |
| drgonzo00000 | th0r: it gives me a list of modifiers if i type in xmms2 but i'm looking for an mp3 program that has a gui | 21:08 |

| ubu_klon | ubuntunibs: you saw the private? | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: But your way should get you there... since you already did it | 21:08 |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 then uninstall 2 and install the original | 21:08 |
| drgonzo00000 | okay | 21:08 |
| drgonzo00000 | the original has a gui and installs to the app list? | 21:08 |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 I prefer it over banshee amarok and those others. It just works | 21:08 |
| ubuntunibs | ubu_klon, no, I did not | 21:08 |

| th0r | drgonzo00000 yup | 21:09 |
| Rubiks120 | Jack_Sparrow, oo, that would have been easier, I come from gentoo but put this installation together for my sister thinking it would be easier, so I am used to just modifying files either way I have got the computer booted to the older kernel I wil install the headers and rebuild to module then reboot back thanks for pointing out the obvious | 21:09 |
| cheeby | hi. I use konqueror as an ftp client. suddenly I can't select multiple files with the ctrl key. | 21:09 |

| cvasilak | hi there i would like an applet that can be fit in the taskbar and show the current download rate of the network card, Network Monitor that comes with gnome doesn't supply this information | 21:12 |
| brenix | i cant view bitmap fonts in gnome apps i've ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig. anyone?? | 21:12 |
| drgonzo00000 | if using synaptic to install xmms, should i install any other related programs? | 21:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: Let her know we are here for the easy questions so she doesnt have to bug you all the time | 21:12 |
| brobostigon | cvasilak: gkrellm does that | 21:12 |
| nickrud | cvasilak: netspeed does that | 21:12 |
| ikonia | drgonzo00000: synaptic will manage it all for you | 21:12 |
| Tom47 | dooglas ty ...... i have something ike 700mb of rubbish in there on a pc in my lan | 21:12 |
| Rubiks120 | Jack_Sparrow, Irc is a bit over her head but I will throw it out there as she learns to use the system a bit more | 21:13 |
| youknowme | can I get some help with slimserver? I can't play any songs.. | 21:13 |
| Tyczek | I've got one question. In windows in audio options, I had those settings: Main:100%, Wave:50%. In alsa I cannot adjust to this possiton. F,e 50% PCM isn't the same as 50% wave. | 21:13 |
| nickrud | cvasilak: in the taskbar, too | 21:13 |
| cvasilak | thanks guys :) | 21:13 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: I have several 70+ yr olds using irc... I use konversation, auto join #Ubuntu and #Compiz and ator register their nicks | 21:14 |
| dooglus | Tom47: I believe it's safe to delete the pop cache. I don't know why it doesn't get fixed. I can only assume someone powerful is in cahoots with the hard disk drive companies | 21:14 |
| Tom47 | hehehehe | 21:14 |
| nickrud | dooglus: now, conspiracy theories will hurt your brain :) | 21:14 |
| dooglus | Tom47: there are men in black suits at the door. If you don't hear from me again, please get the word out. ;) | 21:15 |
| Rubiks120 | Jack_Sparrow, ok when you put it that way, its just a matter of showing her something new not sure if she will accept it or not I think is more the issue | 21:15 |
| drgonzo00000 | another question: i have a bunch of stuff installed like totem, but i can only access from the terminal. Is there a way to make shortcuts into the ubuntu gui | 21:15 |
| oklopol | in konversation, how do i open a new network window? | 21:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: Agreed... | 21:16 |
| Tom47 | dooglus: so long as they are black not white tho i believe the whites have forsworn against waterboarding now | 21:16 |
| Flare183 | !offtopic | Tom47 | 21:16 |
| ubotu | Tom47: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 21:16 |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 install alacarte...not perfect but it does the job | 21:16 |
| nickrud | drgonzo00000: right click the menu bar, select edit. There's a bunch of menu items that are invisible by default, including totem | 21:16 |
| drgonzo00000 | th0r: xmms is installed. reminds me a lot of winamp | 21:16 |
| youknowme | slimserver gives error "file error - include.html: not found" when loading web GUI, does that have anything to do with the inability to add songs to playlist? | 21:16 |
| dooglus | Tom47: I think you got too close to the truth. See how they're trying to silence you? | 21:16 |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 it will even use winamp skins I believe. | 21:17 |
| Tom47 | hehehehe | 21:17 |
| Rubiks120 | Jack_Sparrow, my family is still very much a windows family, I have converted to linux, and this is my first step in showing them its really not too bad, I just wish the wireless support was a bit better in linux in general it would help my cause alot | 21:17 |
| Flare183 | yeah I will keep trying, we have 1291+ nicks in here; were loaded | 21:17 |

| brobostigon | Rubiks120: wifi support could be much better | 21:18 |
| arthur37854 | question about games in the repository ? I wanted to download pokerth texas holdem and a message pops up. you are about to install software that can't be authenticated doing so could allow a malicious individual damage or take control of system, should I be concerned about the packages? | 21:18 |
| nickrud | arthur37854: click update , that should clear that error. | 21:18 |
| brobostigon | Rubiks120: all to often do you have still use nidiswrapper these days. | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rubiks120: Pick up a couple of decently supported wireless card, disable the onboards.. FYI, I still set them up as dual boot... works like a charm. | 21:18 |
| Rubiks120 | thats the one spot where I have run into all my problems related to linux is in wifi support, although in the 2 yrs since I have started using it, wifi has gotten better | 21:19 |
| drgonzo00000 | does totem play divx? | 21:19 |

| nickrud | arthur37854: you're running synaptic? | 21:20 |
| Rubiks120 | Jack_Sparrow, dual boot would be a good route to take, if I could convince my mom that I wont kill all her financial records | 21:20 |
| Flare183 | dwxreaper: what the mess? | 21:20 |
| th0r | drgonzo00000 put that in the same category as the audio <smile> | 21:20 |
| dwxreaper | Flare183: well i like it, and i use something like that in windows too | 21:20 |
| arthur37854 | the default add remove button from applications | 21:20 |
| dwxreaper | don't see anything like that in ubuntu | 21:20 |

| Flare183 | dwxreaper: you mean kiba-dock or something like that | 21:21 |

| * emgent hi | 21:21 | |
| dwxreaper | Flare183: in mac, the thing at the bottom with all your shortcuts | 21:21 |
| drgonzo00000 | which is better vlc or mplayer or is it a subjective kind of thing | 21:21 |
| dwxreaper | kind of like the windows taskbar how you can put shortcuts on top | 21:21 |
| brobostigon | dock | 21:21 |
| Flare183 | dwxreaper: like the dashboard (as the mac people call it) | 21:21 |

| preaction | Bluesoul, most likely your program kept requesting resources which the kernel decided to give it | 21:33 |
| ompaul | Bluesoul, most likely that was the gui that froze not the kernel if you can ssh into the box you may be able to rescue the situaion | 21:33 |
| Bluesoul | no the keyboard lights were frozen too | 21:33 |
| morlockhq | Sorry, been fighting with that all day and it was right in front of my face. | 21:33 |

| Flare183 | !purekde | 21:37 |
| ompaul | digitalspaghetti, sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome << that might work | 21:37 |
| ubotu | purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 21:37 |

| digitalspaghetti | neither works :( | 21:38 |
| zobban | hi how can i install edit cookie manager | 21:38 |
| ompaul | digitalspaghetti, you have to log out and back in for each item I suggest | 21:38 |
| nickrud | digitalspaghetti: you might try asking on xubuntu, they know more about thunar and how it replaces nautilus, may know how to go back | 21:38 |
| morlockhq | drgonzo00000, is this on a laptop? | 21:39 |
| th0r | digitalspaghetti are you in gnome or in xfce at the moment? | 21:39 |
| drgonzo00000 | morlockhq: yep | 21:39 |
| morlockhq | If so, use your function key combo. It should be supported. | 21:40 |
| winter-mute | Anyone has problems with minute interruptions in sound playback, while browsing? | 21:40 |
| digitalspaghetti | th0r, gnome | 21:40 |

| th0r | digitalspaghetti and right click on Places doesn't help...doesn't open a config window? | 21:42 |
| brobostigon | winter-mute: sometimes when i browse it uses loads of cpu power, sometimes over 90% | 21:42 |
| winter-mute | thing is with gentoo it never did do so, so my computer is powerful enough not to have sound skip | 21:43 |

| ubu_klon | nickrud: because I had multiple boot, and each stage1 from a corresponding os, the one from that crashed hdb1 will not be the same to others, so im not sure what is in stage1 | 21:44 |
| thegve | Good evening. After my gutsy updates today, my gnome-terminal wouldn't start anymore, and my system felt quite slow. So i tried a X server restart, first by ctrl-alt-backspace, and then by terminal using gdm restart. Both ways, xorg wouldn't start anymore. So i did a reboot (using sudo reboot in the terminal), and at the new boot a non-important NTFS (ntfs-3g module) partition was corrupt, and I couldn't log in to gdm anymore. | 21:45 |
| ompaul | digitalspaghetti, right click on that panel and choose add to panel and find stuff in there | 21:45 |
| th0r | digitalspaghetti ok...just checking. I installed xubuntu and later installed gnome, and it didn't give me any problems. Sorry I couldn't help | 21:45 |

| nickrud | ubu_klon: it doesn't matter how many os's have grub installed, only one of them is controlling the boot, the one pointed to by the master boot record | 21:45 |
| thegve | Is there anything known about updates? | 21:45 |
| tifine | hello, everybody i want to install this gdm theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Danger+GDM+Theme?content=73219 but getting error message file format error ? | 21:46 |
| Flare183 | thegve: you have one big and messy problem on your hands | 21:46 |
| tifine | I have ubuntu gutsy 7.10 | 21:46 |
| thegve | I was loop-mounting an image before my system started to fall apart. This image was stored on the ntfs partition, and I loop-mounted it to my /tmp/blabla on a ext3 partition | 21:46 |
| pike_ | tifine: is it a tar.gz? | 21:46 |
| thegve | Flare183: Thanks for noticing ;) | 21:47 |
| tifine | pike: yep it is | 21:47 |
| neverblue | tifine, and did you have a question ? | 21:47 |
| Flare183 | thegve: well the only suggestion i have is to format | 21:47 |
| brenix | is there another tar.gz file within it, sometimes that happens | 21:47 |
| tifine | neverblue: yep already posted | 21:47 |
| chaviv | Hi | 21:47 |

| neverblue | seen it now | 21:47 |
| tifine | hello, everybody i want to install this gdm theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Danger+GDM+Theme?content=73219 but getting error message file format error ? | 21:47 |
| Flare183 | zobban: no such thing | 21:47 |
| Flare183 | !repeat | tifine | 21:48 |
| ubotu | tifine: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 21:48 |
| pike_ | tifine: worst case you can unpack it and drop the theme dir in the correct /user dir i think | 21:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tifine: You must be running effects | 21:48 |
| zobban | so i can not edit cookies on firefox | 21:48 |
| Draggin | How can I uninstall packages from the command line without affecting other packages? I literally just want to remove something and reinstall a different version, I don't want to remove all the related packages, which aptitude prompts me to do | 21:48 |
| zobban | i see on google lots of files cookied editor | 21:48 |
| thegve | Flare183: I have one disk that has unreasonably low performance, and I am suspecting it of dieing for over a year know | 21:48 |
| tifine | Jack_Sparrow: just like the theme and want to install it | 21:48 |
| thegve | But I am on the same system now, I started an X session as root (yep, bad, unsecure, etc) | 21:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tifine: /j #Compiz to see how to handle effects and themes | 21:48 |
| neverblue | tifine, what are you doing to the .tar.gz ? | 21:49 |
| rm_you | Draggin, I think if you just use apt-get to install the new package, it will replace the old one (and realize not to remove the depends) | 21:49 |
| thegve | So in essential, I still have everything to run an x session.. | 21:49 |
| Flare183 | thegve: it probaly is i once had a 7gb disk that was pretty new; 1 yeah later death | 21:49 |
| tifine | Jack_Sparrow: i didnt understand wat u mean ? | 21:49 |
| Flare183 | year* | 21:49 |

| Jack_Sparrow | tifine: Things work better when you answer questions you are asked | 21:49 |
| rm_you | Draggin: if you have the .deb, don't remove the old one, do dpkg -i package.deb and that will work too | 21:49 |
| zobban | http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/x11/gtkcookie is this to edit cookies | 21:50 |
| neverblue | Jack_Sparrow and Flare183 I got him, thanks for your added input | 21:50 |
| neverblue | tifine, what are you doing to the .tar.gz ? | 21:50 |
| Flare183 | neverblue: ok on to you | 21:50 |
| thegve | I see I got kdesktop updates today | 21:50 |
| tifine | neverblue: i m just using the appearnce and clicking on to install the file tar.gz | 21:50 |
| thegve | While compiz-fusion was still experimental etc, I configured it using some tutorial etc | 21:51 |
| winter-mute | pike_: yes thats the problem that sound skips on trivial tasks. Buffering should take care of this. | 21:51 |
| winter-mute | pike_: maybe its a kernel problem | 21:51 |
| Aeleon | Is this an OT question?: | 21:51 |
| neverblue | tifine, im trying the same package now, one min please | 21:51 |
| Aeleon | I've successfully set up a VPN with openvpn, yeah? With an ubuntu server and a vista client. And I'm trying to do all of my web activity through my VPN. I've turned on IP_forwarding and did that iptables thing, but when I start up my VPN, I can't view any websites. Any suggestions? | 21:51 |
| thegve | I have some feeling the kde updates might have broken some things | 21:51 |
| squarebracket | do i have to do anything special to get internet explorer working in wine? | 21:52 |
| winter-mute | but I have 2.6.22 | 21:52 |

| tifine | neverblue: thnxs by the way not him ? her | 21:52 |
| thegve | squarebracket: Not much if my knowledge is still right | 21:52 |
| thegve | using winemanager (or something called like this) you are able to install IE using one mouse click | 21:52 |
| Draggin | rm_you - could you just clarify that for me, please? Doesn't that remove the package? | 21:52 |
| Aeleon | neverblue, why yes. :] | 21:52 |
| Aeleon | Not gonna lie. | 21:53 |
| rm_you | Draggin, yes, but since you are actually PERFORMING the install operation, it knows it is just replacing | 21:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | neverblue: Appreciate your input.. but if he is running effects.. he isnt going to get that theme installed like that.If he cant answer a simple question about if he is running effects (a common issue when trying to install themes) it will be hard to help him | 21:53 |
| rm_you | Draggin: it will say "preparing to replace [somepackage]..." | 21:53 |
| neverblue | Jack_Sparrow, he is not running effects | 21:54 |
| thegve | squarebracket: Has been over a year since I last used it though, but I did test 200 educational software titles for a dutch magazine on Linux, so I have done some testing with it ;) | 21:54 |
| Draggin | rm_you... Okay. I'll give it a shot, thanks | 21:54 |
| tifine | Jack_Sparrow: I am a lady so stop calling me him :P | 21:55 |

| Lokii- | it still needs some tuning | 22:10 |
| pike_ | jOHNyyyy: welcome to ubuntu btw | 22:10 |
| thegve | Lokii-: I can't login using a non-root user account at this moment | 22:10 |
| thegve | My system has some serious 'issues' | 22:10 |
| pike_ | jOHNyyyy: everything is under / in default install so you have home under / as /home etc | 22:10 |
| Lokii- | i don't think hardy would correct your issues | 22:10 |
| thegve | So it's more of a 'can't get any worse anyway'" | 22:10 |
| Lokii- | tgrue | 22:10 |
| pike_ | jOHNyyyy: /home is like documents and settings | 22:10 |
| jOHNyyyy | pike_: yes i know but on windows i save my files on or d or so but how is it on ubuntu | 22:11 |
| kst- | anyone good with webcams? I installed gspca drivers from a website for my microsoft vx-1000 webcam but the colours are by far not as good as in Windows XP - am I missing out on something? Is there Easycam(2) for gutsy? Do I need some other tools to finetune my webcam settings? | 22:11 |
| jOHNyyyy | on c sorry | 22:11 |
| thegve | Lokii-: I think maybe reconfiguring my X server (Xorg 7.3 etc), might fix something | 22:11 |
| neverblue | jOHNyyyy, depends on how you setup your partitions during the install | 22:11 |
| tifine | Jack_Sparrow: nope doesnt work | 22:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | natbet: There is supposed to be some sort of kernel bug that keeps gutsy from running on those.. Please google that model to be sure my memory is not failing. Feist seems to be fine | 22:11 |
| tifine | Jack_Sparrow: that the one url i sended u and pasted it back to me! | 22:11 |
| thegve | pike_: That is more like /home/<user>/Documents | 22:12 |
| Lokii- | fn'jOHNyyyy: your d drive is most likely /media/sdb1/ | 22:12 |
| pike_ | jOHNyyyy: normally youd save stuff to /home/jOHNyyyy since you dont have write access to alot of other dirs but you can mount another partition as like /media/music for just media if you want | 22:12 |

| ffm | VvWolverinevV: yes, using Unetbooting parted magic | 22:24 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 22:29 |
| VvWolverinevV | neverblue: yes new install: ubuntu/vista dual boot | 22:29 |
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 22:29 |
| neverblue | VvWolverinevV, whats your question about the partition setup ? | 22:29 |
| VvWolverinevV | neverblue: if anything is dominant, i want ubuntu to be dominant | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Not just a pretty front end | 22:29 |
| darkkith | reading.. | 22:30 |
| danonura | partitioning info online yes but it generally talks about an empty drive or doesn't show your setup or your screen does not match what the internet guide shows | 22:30 |

| spdf | Er.. Something tells me he hadn't tried a restart yet... | 22:44 |

| soulburner | what the best between xfce and fluxbox | 22:45 |
| dasprid | HorizonXP, which player? gxine? | 22:45 |
| Ph0ebus | solex, I'm talking to you in private ;) | 22:45 |
| dasprid | if yes, activate opengl playback | 22:45 |
| jeffMASTERflex | VvWolverinevV: it only allows you to create WIndows NTFS and FAT partiotions. You can't create ext3, xfs, resiserfs, or swap partitions with it | 22:45 |

| HorizonXP | spdf, dasprid: it works fine in Vista.... | 22:46 |
| jeffMASTERflex | VvWolverinevV: it's not all that compicated. You can just install windows first, then the ubuntu install can handle the partitions for you. It even gives the option of resizing windows partitions to make space for ubuntu | 22:46 |
| spdf | HorizonXP, Vista Shmista... :) | 22:46 |
| kitche | biouser: so you want to setup imap in an email client correct? | 22:46 |

| dasprid | srsly, who wants vista ;) | 22:46 |

| jeffMASTERflex | VvWolverinevV: on whichever one you want. The ubuntu installer can take care of everything for you. I'd rather use one hard drive for the operating systems and the other hard drive as storage | 22:48 |
| txFirehawk | then how do i have it installed? | 22:48 |

| jeffMASTERflex | Pensador: you probably have to configure conky's conkyrc file | 22:58 |
| HorizonXP | MadSquirrelKing: my restricted ones are my nvidia card, and intel wireless | 22:58 |
| MadSquirrelKing | thegve i want to set up a WEP adhoc network on a hp tablet. | 22:58 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Pensador: have you taken a look at the conkyrc file to see what it is? | 22:58 |
| MadSquirrelKing | thegve: i want to set up a WEP adhoc network on a hp tablet. | 22:58 |
| biouser | evolution works? oh that's cool, maybe some other time | 22:58 |
| Pensador | jeffMASTERflex: Well, thanks, I already had that in mind. I was just asking if someone here knew what is happening | 22:58 |
| Pensador | I made the .conkyrc myself | 22:59 |
| spdf | HorizonXP, I think that its possible that the linux codecs just aren't ready for it | 22:59 |
| Pensador | the only problem that is happening are those square characters | 22:59 |
| MadSquirrelKing | any 1 know how to set up a WEP adhoc network in ubuntu? | 22:59 |
| unagi | ty spdf the pcm was turned down..........im not sure why | 22:59 |
| silas_ | Thanks a lot for the help | 22:59 |
| HorizonXP | spdf: could be. it works pretty damn well, it's just not as good as Windows | 22:59 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Pensador: for some of the conky stuff, like system monitoring, you might have to build a couple of kernel modules, which is probably why it's giving you the question mark. | 22:59 |
| Infopirate | im still getting the error | 22:59 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues | 23:07 |
| 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. | 23:07 |
| Emperawr | neverblue, the only thing special i see is Undefined Input device "" referenced by ServerLayout "DefaultLayout" | 23:08 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Jinxed-: The UNOFFICIAL workaround I used is to first go to synaptic, select the flashplugin-nonfree package and then mark it for *complete* removal. Then install the hardy flashplugin, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 23:10 |

| InGunsWeTrust | gunja: it is about a 15% performance boost | 23:23 |
| unagi | gunja do me a favor and say dual core instead of duo.......it can be confusing | 23:23 |
| gunja | unagi: I have core 2 duo | 23:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | micahcowan: I need to ask.. Did you ever try automatix or envy prior to or after the upgrade..(Bad ideas by the way) | 23:24 |
| gunja | whcih is different from Intel Dual Core older ones | 23:24 |
| SuPeRhOmEm | Plz, anyone knows the "key value" in Gconf that sets the deskto background colour? | 23:24 |
| unagi | then why would you use the amd64 version gunja | 23:24 |
| sethk | gunja, you'll get more improvement from the 64 bit than from SMP, but you may as well use both | 23:24 |
| micahcowan | I know :) and no. | 23:24 |
| craig | Hello everyone!!!11 | 23:24 |
| micahcowan | In fact, it wasn't an upgrade; on the laptop, I did a complete, fresh install. | 23:24 |
| sethk | craig, smile when you say that. ... | 23:24 |
| cafuego | [Scooter1: Which ffmpeg is that? | 23:24 |
| craig | I'm a newbie to Ubuntu.. my friend convinced me to install it. Must say i'm really impressed so far | 23:25 |
| InGunsWeTrust | I am trying to get gens sega emulator working on ubuntu 7.10 64-bit. I found a deb for it but sadly it is 32 bit. and when i --force-architechture it install but crashes | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | craig: Welcome to Ubuntu | 23:25 |
| cafuego | [Scooter1: It's a bit hit & miss, your best bet is probably the medibuntu ffmpeg at this point. | 23:25 |
| InGunsWeTrust | does anybody know any good sega gens emulators with a gui | 23:25 |
| thegve | gunja: 64 bits operating systems are able to address more memory space and disk space (the letter is in a laptop not very relevant). If you use software which uses large amounts of memory, you might see a performance improvement for software that is optimized for 64-bit. But there might be people with other theories.. | 23:25 |
| kestir | Hi, I'm having trouble connecting my laptop to my home wireless network. I can get a list of wireless networks in the area, i enter the passphrase etc and then nothing happens. | 23:25 |
| adub | how can you force a removal of a package | 23:25 |
| sethk | adub, the dpkg command line utility has that capability | 23:26 |
| craig | but i'm wondering if someone can give me a bit of help | 23:26 |
| thegve | adub: Try the --help options sometimes... | 23:26 |
| McKayCR | kestir, what machine are you running ubuntu on | 23:26 |
| micahcowan | I had one X client just now (gnome-terminal) which apparently prevented all other clients from receiving keyboard input, until I closed it. | 23:26 |
| kestir | McKayCR: I'm running it on both. My desktop, here, and my laptop | 23:26 |
| Some_Person | Is there an Ubuntu Human theme for Thunderbird 2? I cannot find one. | 23:26 |
| McKayCR | what kind of laptop | 23:27 |
| craig | so i installed Swiftweasel, but there was an upgrade available, so i installed the upgrade...but it didn't actually upgrade, it just installed another instance of the program | 23:27 |
| InGunsWeTrust | does anybody know a good sega genisis emulator that works on 64 bit and has a gui? | 23:27 |
| sethk | micahcowan, you aren't running as root, are you? | 23:27 |
| wylli2006 | jak zainstalowac bilarda z wp na linuxie | 23:27 |
| McKayCR | and are you having issues on both systems | 23:27 |
| craig | So how do i uninstall the first instance? | 23:27 |
| micahcowan | sethk, X as root? Heh, no | 23:27 |
| kubitz | craig so am I except i need to know how to turn off my bell speaker. I'm using an old box and and I can't remember that bell working before? How do you turn off the system speaker? I bet it's really simple? | 23:27 |
| unagi | anyone know how to map a key function to a mouse button? | 23:27 |
| micahcowan | None of the clients either, for that matter. | 23:27 |
| sethk | micahcowan, if you switch to "point to focus" instead of click to focus, you can recover from that without killing the terminal. | 23:27 |
| craig | the mapping of the key functions is rather difficult from what i've gathered | 23:28 |
| kestir | McKayCR: No, just the laptop. The network icon on the laptop shows bars and everything | 23:28 |
| wylli2006 | ale jakim programem mam yto zrobic | 23:28 |
| craig | i did a bit of research, and it seems there's no easy wya | 23:28 |
| gunja99 | sethk: thanks for that pc crashed.... ergh | 23:28 |
| micahcowan | sethk, really? Hm... | 23:28 |
| McKayCR | what kinda of laptop | 23:28 |
| gunja99 | will stick with x86 | 23:28 |
| kestir | McKayCR: it's an old toshiba | 23:28 |
| micahcowan | So is it the clicks to obtain focus that are failing, and not the actual typing? | 23:28 |
| kestir | McKayCR: And I'm running xubuntu on the lap | 23:29 |
| sethk | gunja99, 64 bit crashed, or 32? | 23:29 |
| thegve | Ok, I am back in a few minutes in hardy, or my system will be totally messed up, in which case I'm going to sleep.... Bye | 23:29 |
| kestir | McKayCR: can you type my nick when you reply...im googling at the same time and dont want to miss you | 23:29 |
| micahcowan | What's weird is that, sometimes, the input I've frantically typed (for testing purposes) will show up when I focus on an app (only very rarely), but then it still refuses further input. I guess a focus glitch could make sense. | 23:29 |
| sethk | what is "sleep"? sounds familiar ... | 23:29 |
| unagi | i want to assign change workspace left and workspace right to mouse button 6 and 7 in metacity how do i do that | 23:29 |
| McKayCR | Kestir, sorry I won't be much help, I thought you might be on a powerbook | 23:29 |
| InGunsWeTrust | does ubuntu natively support the archive type .7z | 23:29 |
| gunja99 | sethk: nah vista crashed! BSOD! just now | 23:29 |
| gunja99 | gonna dual boot ti | 23:30 |
| kestir | McKayCR: ahh, no worries | 23:30 |
| micahcowan | Of course, it's nearly as annoying to switch between click-to-focus and point-to-focus, as it is to restart an app... :\ | 23:30 |
| Onyx | InGunsWeTrust: No. | 23:30 |

| kestir | Hi, I'm having trouble connecting my laptop to my home wireless network. I can get a list of wireless networks in the area, i enter the passphrase etc and then nothing happens. | 23:30 |
| InGunsWeTrust | are there any packages i can use to make it support it | 23:30 |

| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:30 |
| kitche | kestir: what does iwconfig say? it usually won't say anything you have to look at iwconfig to make sure your associated | 23:30 |

| kestir | kitche: but...i have a list of wireless networks in the area etc | 23:31 |
| Spreadsheet216 | i tried to boot an intel ubuntu on an amd pc | 23:32 |
| kestir | kitche: and full bars... | 23:32 |
| joshhunt_ | hello everyone... | 23:32 |
| Spreadsheet216 | now i cant shutdown | 23:32 |
| craig | kestir: what kind of wireless card is it | 23:32 |
| iN00DLE | I know .uif is not directly supported, InGunsWeTrust , you will have to convert it to .iso | 23:32 |
| micahcowan | sethk, how do I even switch to point-to-focus? I thought it was usually a client-specific thing... cf xfig versus most "modern" clients... | 23:32 |
| unagi | i want to assign change workspace left and workspace right to mouse button 6 and 7 in metacity anyone know how to do that | 23:32 |
| dug_ | Hi, does anyone know how to change the screensaver from the command line? The "Braid" one completely locks up my computer (can't even force quit) | 23:32 |
| gunja99 | !intel | 23:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:32 |
| InGunsWeTrust | are there any utilities that can do that conversion on linux | 23:33 |
| kestir | craig: it's some onboard pos | 23:33 |
| sethk | micahcowan, no, it's a window manager option. | 23:33 |
| craig | kestir: do you get any kind of response when you do a ping in terminal | 23:33 |
| Spreadsheet216 | !amd | 23:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:33 |
| kestir | craig: if i ping localhost it works fine | 23:33 |
| joshhunt_ | Im running 7.10, when i try to open my NTFS drive from the left hand side of nautilus, it complains about not being able to mount the drive. I really really need to be able to read this drive (dont care for writing). Here is my fstab http://pastebin.com/m6a3c420f | 23:33 |
| sethk | micahcowan, an individual app affects only what happens in its window, the global option involves giving the focus to a particular window. | 23:33 |
| kestir | craig: but pinging google.com tells me unknown host | 23:34 |
| Spreadsheet216 | !x86 | 23:34 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about x86 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:34 |
| iN00DLE | I don't recall, google .uif InGunsWeTrust , I believe you have to use some linux version of magicISO to do it under linux | 23:34 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, relax a second, whats the issue ? | 23:34 |
| micahcowan | sethk, ah, right, and one client is preventing the other client from gaining focus | 23:34 |
| Spreadsheet216 | i cant turn off the pc | 23:34 |
| sethk | micahcowan, right, that's what I'm thinking. | 23:34 |
| craig | kestir: that is confusing, isn't it ha | 23:34 |
| adub | E: perl: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 <---- i get that error when trying to reinstall perl | 23:34 |
| sethk | Spreadsheet216, pull the plug from the wall. If it's a laptop, take out the battery. :) | 23:34 |
| ompaul | Spreadsheet216, this is a bootable CD ? | 23:34 |
| Spreadsheet216 | yes | 23:34 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, press the button in for 5 seconds, it will shutdown | 23:34 |
| iN00DLE | the best thing to do InGunsWeTrust is not download .uif version of files you can find as an .iso, IMHO | 23:34 |
| craig | kestir: have you done any research online at all | 23:34 |
| kestir | craig: completely! :) | 23:35 |
| micahcowan | sethk, though it seems odd, because the window frames are highlighting/raising, when appropriate. But it seems a decent explanation, particularly for this most recent one-client-to-rule-them-all glitch. | 23:35 |
| Spreadsheet216 | it's intel ubuntu on amd pc | 23:35 |
| kestir | craig: yeah, i've been googling since last night...and a few things at work today | 23:35 |
| kestir | craig: im at a loss | 23:35 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, that doesnt make any sense | 23:35 |
| Spreadsheet216 | it was an acciednt | 23:35 |
| ompaul | Spreadsheet216, two ways power off - or on the top right of the screen click on the X and that intel on amd makes no odds | 23:35 |
| sethk | micahcowan, it might let you work around the bug, although of course no guarantees. | 23:35 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, there is no 'AMD ubuntu' nor 'intel ubuntu' | 23:35 |
| kestir | craig: if i mouse overthe network icon in the panel, it says i'm connected to my network and it tells me a percentage | 23:35 |
| Spreadsheet216 | there's a blank black screen | 23:35 |
| craig | kestir: have you tried searching the ubuntu forums | 23:36 |
| Spreadsheet216 | brb | 23:36 |
| ompaul | Spreadsheet216 just hit the reboot button and press eject | 23:36 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, who are you posting messages to, best if you start the post off with that users nick | 23:36 |
| micahcowan | sethk, anything that helps... anything that even helps limit the realm of possible areas where the bug might be residing. :) | 23:36 |
| kestir | craig: yes, however it's a pretty broad subject... | 23:36 |
| kestir | craig: it's not really a specific issue...can be so many things... | 23:36 |
| craig | kestir: thats true.. i wish i could be of more help, sorry | 23:37 |
| Spreadsheet216 | neverblue:i cant even put in commands | 23:37 |
| kestir | craig: oh that's ok man...don't worry about it | 23:37 |
| micahcowan | sethk, if it's a focus glitch, I'd probably blame the WM, then, considering that it appears to be universal across clients. | 23:37 |
| craig | kestir: the only other thing i can think of is try using an external third party network adapter | 23:37 |
| Spreadsheet216 | in the beggining it worked, now it doesn't | 23:37 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, tahts why I suggested pressing in the power button for 5 seconds | 23:37 |
| sethk | micahcowan, quite possible. Try a different window manager, see if the behavior changes. | 23:37 |
| dusty-sts | Has anyone got experience in configuring dual monitors with an external samsung flatscreen 20" and a laptop screen? | 23:37 |
| Spreadsheet216 | i tried | 23:37 |
| micahcowan | sethk, The one-client-hogging thing seems unusual, though: usually, it's a single client that has the problem at a time, and closing other clients won't affect the problem. | 23:37 |
| Spreadsheet216 | neverblue:i tried | 23:37 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, not your monitor, the power button on your case | 23:37 |
| spdf | dusty-sts, dual 22" samsungs here, no laptop though | 23:38 |
| micahcowan | sethk, good idea. Probably enlightenment, then (I'm currently on metacity). | 23:38 |
| sethk | micahcowan, how about opening a new client? | 23:38 |
| Spreadsheet216 | neverblue: it's a laptop | 23:38 |
| sethk | Spreadsheet216, take out the battery, I guarantee it will turn off. :) | 23:38 |
| micahcowan | sethk, not sure I've tried. I've never noticed a problem: I'll try the next time. | 23:38 |
| neverblue | Spreadsheet216, pull the battery | 23:38 |
| sethk | micahcowan, ok | 23:38 |
| Spreadsheet216 | ok | 23:38 |
| dusty-sts | spdf, well i have it working PERFECTLY mirrored desktops. but i want it as one big extended desktop? | 23:38 |
| Spreadsheet216 | can i get electrocuted? | 23:38 |
| neverblue | obviously | 23:39 |
| sethk | Spreadsheet216, only once | 23:39 |
| Spreadsheet216 | i dont wanna die! | 23:39 |

| neverblue | well, then your once is outta the way | 23:39 |
| sethk | Spreadsheet216, no, you got shocked once. Electrocuted means dead. :) | 23:39 |
| neverblue | so you should be fine | 23:39 |
| iN00DLE | batteries are d/c, Spreadsheet216 , your chance of dying is pathetically slim from d/c since it won't alter you heart rate | 23:39 |
| Spreadsheet216 | oh | 23:39 |
| Onyx | Spreadsheet216: Dude the chances of a laptop killing you are ridiculously slim. | 23:39 |
| Spreadsheet216 | fine | 23:39 |

| dusty-sts | spdf, can you help me with it, i've had terrible trouble with this all day? | 23:42 |
| Gumby | hi all. Is there anything that can be done about this? I am at a command line prompt only and I am getting this when trying to use sudo "sudo: timestamp too far in the future" | 23:42 |
| kitche | branden: faq for what? | 23:42 |
| Gumby | neverblue: its Vancouver, isnt it always? | 23:42 |
| iN00DLE | d/c doesn't alternate, you would basically fry via voltage, it would take quite a bite for that micahcowan | 23:43 |
| LiraNuna | Gumby, fix your clock | 23:43 |
| Some_Person | Is there an Ubuntu Human theme for Thunderbird 2? I cannot find one. | 23:43 |
| neverblue | Gumby true | 23:43 |
| Gumby | LiraNuna: without being able to use sudo how would I do that? | 23:43 |
| branden | faq for room. inital message was to read that first | 23:43 |
| pike_ | Gumby: use sudo to fix the clock | 23:43 |
| Gumby | pike_: heh, uhhh..... | 23:43 |
| micahcowan | 100ma can do it, in the right conditions, iN00DLE. | 23:43 |
| kitche | branden: umm look at the /topic it has the url right in it you go to that in your web browser | 23:43 |
| B-rabbit | branden, are you looking for faq on how to use the irc client or how to use the irs, rules asnd stuff like that | 23:43 |
| LiraNuna | sudo touch /usr/bin/sudo | 23:43 |

| neverblue | branden, there is a link provided in the topic | 23:43 |
| branden | thank you | 23:44 |
| ArthurArchnix | Yeah... nothing in the man pages about what %U means. I think it may be an ubuntu command switch. | 23:44 |
| Gumby | LiraNuna: one can not touch sudo by using sudo when sudo isnt working! | 23:44 |
| neverblue | branden: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FAQ | 23:44 |
| haxality | hi, I was wondering how to emulate the windows 'net send' command from the command line | 23:44 |
| LiraNuna | ArthurArchnix, %U is a C switch for unsigned int | 23:44 |
| micahcowan | THe sorts of batteries that can be removed with one hand, won't generate 100ma across a human body, I think. :) But you might get a laptop battery to generate plenty. | 23:44 |
| haxality | I know it's somewhere in the smb utilities, but I don't know the exact command | 23:44 |
| kitche | ArthurArchnix: it's actually a desktop switch not even part of ubuntu or anything | 23:44 |
| joshhunt_ | is it possible to access the windows registry through ubuntu... | 23:44 |

| ThipThip | I mean seriously, we live in revolutionary times. | 23:45 |
| dusty-sts | ok | 23:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | kitche LiraNuna Thanks. That will help me track down what other switches I can use. | 23:45 |
| haxality | anyone? | 23:45 |
| dusty-sts | spdf, could you take a peak at my xorg.conf and see what i need to change to make it one big desktop ? | 23:45 |
| dusty-sts | rather than a mirrored? | 23:45 |

| micahcowan | unagi: It's named "Shift to workspace on the left/right" in the keyboard preferences, but I don't know that it can do mouse stuff, unfortunately. The dialog box, at least, doesn't appear to provide that, and I have no idea wha you'd feed to gconf-editor. | 23:54 |

| OptimusPrime2 | ISLE OF MAN - June 1, 2006 - At a press conference today, Canonical CEO and Free Software spokesnigger Mark Shuttleworth announced the immediate availability of version 6.06 of the Ubuntu Linux distribution. The latest version, known by its code name, "The Diaper Drake," includes special features designed to make Linux easier and more comfortable for niggers the world over. | 23:58 |
| neverblue | acidfire2008, then you need to type: ssh host in a terminal | 23:58 |
| OptimusPrime2 | "Niggers have always had trouble understanding new technology," Shuttleworth began. "Computers are no exception. Some people have said this is because niggers are dumb, but I believe the real problem is that technology has traditionally been designed for white people. Ubuntu changes all that. It was developed from the ground up with niggers in mind. It will usher in a whole new era of Afro-ergonomic computing." | 23:58 |
| LiraNuna | dusty-sts, of and a sudo | 23:58 |
| OptimusPrime2 | Shuttleworth presented an overview of some of the features users could expect in the latest version of Ubuntu, including an Ebonics-to-English converter, African "tribal beats" sound and desktop theme, and a collection of rap music and gay pornography, "which of course will be encoded using patent and royalty-free formats," Shuttleworth added, smiling. He proceeded to elaborate, but OpenOffice.org Impress crashed at that point. | 23:58 |
