| chickin | elevator_hazard ah, thanks for trying :) btw I don;t know how you keep up w/ two conversations at once :O | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| digin4 | i wanna pimp my ubuntu :( | 00:00 |
| phreck | do we have a fix for the flash issue yet | 00:00 |
| Elevator_Hazard | chickin: I can't :P | 00:00 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: Jack_Sparrow is working on a howto for that device and effects, you can take a look at his working notes at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52710/ | 00:00 |
| adrock358 | can you save a large file dl while using live cd? | 00:00 |
| xenthro | Bax if you pull up a virtual terminal, I recommend you get "htop" an tiny app that shows all running processes and is based on the command line | 00:00 |
| xenthro | Elevator_Hazard Oh god... can't help... a few years back i had an ati 9600 and it was a nightmare | 00:01 |
| danonura | where are the multimedia setting located in gutsy? | 00:01 |
| Elevator_Hazard | xenthro: nickrud found a nice link | 00:01 |
| tanath | xenthro: bax is gone | 00:01 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: whumps, it says it's for 9500 and before | 00:01 |
| techgeek40_ | And is there a package out there that has the standard windows fonts that can be used in Gutsy? | 00:01 |
| chickin | elevator_hazard heh ya think? :P I see you talking to xenthro too heh | 00:01 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: thanks I'll see. | 00:01 |
| Elevator_Hazard | chickin: But I'm barely doing it. | 00:01 |
| chickin | elevator_hazard and nickrud :P | 00:01 |
| chickin | lol | 00:01 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: oh. | 00:01 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: thanks anyways. | 00:02 |
| benny269 | im running ubuntu feisty, can someone help me switch off ALL desktop effects and disable beryl by default please? | 00:02 |
| techgeek40_ | Maybe this can be answered, not sure: If I type sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-via | 00:02 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: ah, well I was only a digit off. | 00:02 |
| techgeek40_ | I get the error: E: Unable to find a source package for xserver-xorg-driver-via | 00:02 |
| tritium | techgeek40_: do you have the source repos enabled? | 00:02 |
| tanath | benny269: without uninstalling it? System > prefs> desktop effects | 00:02 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I'm actually ok with 8500 drivers, but I was thinking maybe compiz would work if I had the proper, better, drivers. | 00:02 |
| techgeek40_ | Tritium: To be honest I am not sure | 00:02 |
| crimsun | techgeek40_: xserver-xorg-video-via as of edgy. | 00:03 |
| tritium | techgeek40_: look in /etc/apt/sources | 00:03 |
| Tanuki33 | elevator_hazard: could you tell me how to grep the buffer of an active terminal session? I am having problems figuring that one out. I am not sure what file to look for. | 00:03 |
| techgeek40 | Sorry | 00:03 |
| techgeek40 | Don't know why I got dropped | 00:03 |
| tritium | techgeek40_: look in /etc/apt/sources. They begin with "deb-src" | 00:03 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Tanuki33: I honestly don't really know how to use grep. | 00:03 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: you might try browsing around wiki.compiz-fusion.org , maybe there's some tweaks there. Also, he has some tweaks that may apply | 00:04 |
| benny269 | tanath: yes. when i go to desktop effects it says enable effects, but they are already enabled? and the beryl symbol is in the systray (or whatever linux calls it) | 00:04 |
| Tanuki33 | Bugger Nuts | 00:04 |
| Tanuki33 | thanks anyhow | 00:04 |
| tucuna | what's the difference between using ubuntu-restricted-extras and medibuntu repo? is there a conflict? | 00:04 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I also just realized I might have a problem with starting up linux now... Usually when I try to enable restricted drivers it would go to safe grapihcs but last time it didn't | 00:04 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: so I went to recovery mode and ran some xorg command thing to set my on config. | 00:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | tucuna: not really, but medibuntu has some other programs a lot fo folks like(adobe acrobat, googleearth, opera web browser, etc.).. i prefer using medibuntu | 00:05 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: but it messed up like when I chose 24 bit or something for the screen display so I turned it off there. | 00:05 |
| tanath | benny269: the icon in the systray should have a right click menu option to disable it | 00:05 |
| tanath | benny269: and beryl has been discontinued, and merged with compiz | 00:06 |
| chickin | xenthro: 87% :P | 00:06 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: so my question is how can I boot it up in safe graphics where I can choose which driver to use? (I will just choose 8500 again...) | 00:06 |
| JamoSmith | I'm trying to enable a second monitor and under 'Screens and Graphics' 'Secondary Screen' radio buttons are grayed out. Is there an advanced way of enabled this ? * I followed a Xinerama tutorial and it screwed up the initial display so I backed up, I'm not an advanced user and don't know what I'm doing | 00:06 |
| DeadEagle | irc.roachware.net | 00:06 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg , that will get you the default ubuntu config | 00:06 |
| adrock358 | HEY HELP! can you save a large file dl while using live cd? | 00:06 |
| chickin | xenthro: 90% :P oh! 91% | 00:06 |
| tucuna | <IndyGunFreak> - so you can install the package *and* add the repository without problems? | 00:06 |
| techgeek40 | I'm getting retarded - how do I look into the sources.list ? | 00:06 |
| chickin | opp! 92% | 00:06 |
| benny269 | tanath: im aware of that but i dont want to upgrade just yet. beryl only offers quit by right click and last time i did this it still loaded on restart. i want everything disabled by defualt. | 00:06 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: oh and I won't have to do any custom configs? | 00:06 |
| phreck | i need to fix frickin flash | 00:07 |
| phreck | anyone have any hints? | 00:07 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: nope, no questions at all | 00:07 |
| Masqy | Hi all, I have a lenovo 3000 N100 on Gutsy, and still having sound problems. The internal speakers mute when I plug-in earphones, but when I play with the volume, they start working again. | 00:07 |
| tanath | benny269: ah, you'll have to remove it from your session | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | tucuna: once you add the medibuntu repository, installing the package is as simple as sudo apt-get install whatever | 00:07 |
| annonymouse | any one running compiz fusion? jst installed it on but how do i get the 3d cube thing running? i think ive set in ccsm the effects how do i trigger it? | 00:07 |
| tanath | benny269: and check which session you're choosing when you log in. choose gnome | 00:07 |
| adrock358 | nickrud. i'm on livecd tryin to dl alternate cd, but i can't save it on my hd. | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: what are you trying to do exactly? | 00:07 |
| crdlb | annonymouse: please join #compiz-fusion | 00:07 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: wow I wish I knew that before... Thanks... | 00:07 |
| Masqy | Also, when I play mp3 files with VLC, I get squeaking sounds.. (with mplayer I don't experience such problems).. | 00:07 |
| techgeek40 | To look at the sources.list | 00:07 |
| nickrud | adrock358: what partition and type do you want to save it on? | 00:07 |
| benny269 | tanath: can you walk me through that please? i dont understand most of what you just said | 00:07 |
| annonymouse | thanks | 00:07 |
| techgeek40 | See what I have in there | 00:07 |

| === victoryemulator is now known as m0hitkumar | ||
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: its probably all gonna be greek to you, why are you looking at your sources | 00:08 |
| tanath | benny269: System > Prefs > Sessions | 00:08 |
| techgeek40 | Because - I'm having a hard time getting openchrome working right - | 00:08 |
| tanath | benny269: remove beryl from startup, and current session | 00:08 |
| === Zdra_ is now known as Zdra | ||
| adrock358 | nickrud i want to save it on any partition with space. i want to access it from ubuntu when i'm not on the livecd and it's an iso file, so...that's all I know | 00:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: and why do you think your repository listing has something to dow ith that?.. all the repos do is install/remove software. | 00:08 |
| techgeek40 | Indy: I'm a computer tech - but for windows xp/vista/2000 server and so forth - this linux is new tome | 00:09 |
| tanath | benny269: and save. then when you log in next time. there's an option to choose your session. make sure you're not choosing a session called beryl | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: so basically, you're not a computer tech. | 00:09 |
| nickrud | adrock358: understood. But to tell you how, I need to know the partition and what type of filesystem | 00:09 |
| techgeek40 | LOL | 00:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | so again, what are you trying to do. | 00:09 |
| techgeek40 | Inday I am a computer tech - yes - but I've always just used the windows version - | 00:09 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak: you are Cruel | 00:09 |
| techgeek40 | 26 years in the field | 00:09 |
| adrock358 | it's linux, ubuntu. only filesystem i have. it's devsda1 i think | 00:09 |
| techgeek40 | But I'm getting tired of windows and want to learn linux | 00:09 |
| Elevator_Hazard | great I lost a computer... By that I mean I can't find it. | 00:10 |
| adrock358 | nickrud it's linux, ubuntu. only filesystem i have. it's devsda1 i think | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: i worked in a fast food restaurant for 10yrs, i'm certainly not a chef | 00:10 |
| phreck | anyone know of a flash fix yet? | 00:10 |
| techgeek40 | I'm just trying to get some drivers working - not be insulted | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | phreck: the instructions on the top of the page are ridiculous, download the source from adobe.com, and you'll have flash working in 5min | 00:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | actually, probably less than that | 00:10 |
| pure`eigenVector | sigh... wheres the best place to look for help finding and installing an ULi M5288 RAID AHCI Controller driver? | 00:11 |

| benny269 | tanath: removed beryl but effects are still running | 00:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | hagen: are we talking freeware?.. cuz codeweavers will probably run it. | 00:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | wine *might* | 00:11 |
| KiD_ChAoS | hagen i got it running with wine | 00:11 |

| gidna | I have problem with the xorg update | 00:12 |
| tanath | benny269: removed from startup in sessions? | 00:12 |

| andresmujica | how can i list the contents of a repo with apt?? | 00:12 |
| Elevator_Hazard | yay found it. | 00:12 |

| techgeek40 | When I do : sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-driver-via I get the following error: E: Unable to find a source package for xserver-xorg-driver-via | 00:12 |

| tanath | benny269: through the systray icon | 00:12 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: and it's xserver-xorg-video-via , not driver | 00:13 |

| penol | I hva installed windows and ubuntu now, but why do not GRUB find my windows? | 00:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | penol: just add it. | 00:15 |
| adub | penol edit our grub | 00:15 |
| techgeek40 | But sadly - unless I can get my drivers working - I can only run gutsy in 800x600 mode | 00:15 |
| bruenig | adub, do what it says | 00:15 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: do exactly what it says. the java doc installer needs you to manually download the docs from sun and put it in tmp | 00:15 |
| Starnestommy | you need to configure /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:15 |
| penol | Ok | 00:15 |
| adub | go to the link | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | penol: how is your system setup? | 00:16 |
| adub | its a lot to paste | 00:16 |
| robeph | is there a way to set like a package checkpoint, ie say i have the system at a good point, and I wanna try installing some stuff that may be problemaTIC but what I'd like is to have a checkpoint that I can revert to to remove all the extra packages brought in from the set I have to install | 00:16 |

| penol | IndyGunFreak, WIndows on a 320 disk and ubuntu on a 250 | 00:16 |
| adub | naw thats what it says | 00:16 |
| bruenig | robeph, remember which ones you installed afterwards | 00:16 |
| adub | i thought it was a lot | 00:16 |
| penol | so its 2 separete disks | 00:16 |
| bruenig | robeph, each time you do it, add that package to a text file | 00:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | penol: so they're on two different physical disks? | 00:16 |

| robeph | yeah well thats obvious :p | 00:17 |
| bruenig | adub, so where is the link to the bug you filed? | 00:17 |
| robeph | i was more concerned with deps | 00:17 |
| robeph | I"m not very apt knowledgeable | 00:17 |
| adub | bruenig i never filed one | 00:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | penol: what did you do, disconnect your windows drive while installing? | 00:17 |
| bruenig | robeph, unneeded dependencies will remove when you remove the parent applications | 00:17 |

| Elevator_Hazard | syntaxerror55: how was that directed to me? | 00:53 |
| Cpudan80 | ijn: What are you trying to do? | 00:53 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: do fglrxinfo , make sure it's using ati drivers not mesa | 00:53 |
| Marupa | bardyr, what ports does that use? | 00:53 |

| joakim- | #alsa | 00:54 |
| Elevator_Hazard | syntaxerror55: I wasn't but that would help Marupa | 00:54 |
| joakim- | oops | 00:54 |
| Marupa | bardyr, not understanding. | 00:54 |
| syntaxerror55 | Elevator_Hazard, oh, ok. Sorry for not understanding D: | 00:54 |
| ijn | so where to get this flash for firefox on 64 bit ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| xomp | I have the non-free adobe plugin installed according to that. I run Gutsy, I never thought viewing youtube would be such a pain in linux... | 00:54 |
| xomp | yet another thing holding it back :/ | 00:55 |
| wharp | thos9 System>Preferences>Sessions | 00:55 |
| bardyr | Marupa, it uses port 5900+x x being the number of the screen but vnc clients just use :x | 00:55 |
| Elevator_Hazard | syntxerror55: no problem, you probably helped marupa :P | 00:55 |
| filthpig | !flash64 | ijn | 00:55 |
| ubotu | ijn: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 00:55 |
| bardyr | Marupa, i think its 5900, im not sure | 00:55 |
| filthpig | it's all there | 00:55 |
| nickrud | penol: add http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52720/ to the very end of menu.lst, after the END AUTOMAGIC line | 00:55 |
| ijn | ok thanks | 00:55 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: ok here is one line of what it gave me in return.. | 00:55 |
| penol | ok NickPresta | 00:55 |
| Marupa | bardyr, any way to share this on a web-accessible link like tightvnc does? | 00:55 |
| penol | nickrud, | 00:55 |
| penol | ok | 00:55 |
| nickrud | penol: he's used to it | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | i think thats gonna work. | 00:56 |
| penol | hahah nickrud | 00:56 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon 9550 / X1050 Series | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 00:56 |
| bardyr | Marupa, i think it is tightvnc | 00:56 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: Exactly what I used on windows xp, thanks. | 00:56 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: sounds good. Now, if you want effects, install xserver-xgl and log out and back in | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: so why didn't it pick up his windows install when he installed ubuntu? | 00:56 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I can enable compiz in a gui, right | 00:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | xomp, it isn't. I watch it all the time. | 00:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | i've only had that happen 1x, and that was due to my own stupidity | 00:56 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak: not sure, it just seems to happen sometimes. Happened to me once, with windows on sda1 | 00:57 |
| Elevator_Hazard | IndyGunFreak: I'm dual booting, ubuntu is on my external harddrive. | 00:57 |
| Marupa | bardyr, I'm not seeing port 5900 open... | 00:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Elevator_Hazard: ok... | 00:57 |
| bardyr | Marupa, try 5901 | 00:57 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: you need to have the xserver-xgl in order to run compiz on ati's fglrx driver. And once it's installed, the effects will start automatically iirc | 00:57 |
| xomp | syntaxerror55, your a-typical linux noob should be able to point his browser to youtube and it work. Now I've come to terms with hours if not days of troubleshooting and dead end google searches to find a way to get it to work lmao | 00:58 |
| bardyr | Marupa, or if its the vnc host, ip:1 | 00:58 |
| xomp | bad luck I guess :/ | 00:58 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: so that's the package name I install? | 00:58 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: yes | 00:58 |
| DG19075 | YouTube has always fired up for me | 00:58 |
| syntaxerror55 | xomp, I was just saying that because it doesn't work for you don't assume it doesn't work for everyone else. |: | 00:58 |
| syntaxerror55 | xomp, although, in this case-it does. The flash plugin is broken. Have you followed the instructions in !flash ? | 00:59 |
| penol | nickrud, i got a message about strings and stuff | 00:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 00:59 |
| penol | wrong strings | 00:59 |
| tumbleweed__ | it's fairly easy to get working, actually :/ | 00:59 |
| xomp | syntaxerror55, I just installed Gutsy today lol. Went to youtube, was prompted to install the plugin (which I did) restarted firefox and am now sitting at major system crashes and loops of "hey, want to install the plugin? Yes? Ooops, it's installed already" lol | 00:59 |
| penol | or somthing | 00:59 |
| nickrud | penol: really helpful message :) | 00:59 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I think you also tried helping me with a sound problem where sound didn't go through USB Audio and I'd get an error if I tried to test USB audio about resource busy or not available | 01:00 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: But yet when I started it up this last time, it works | 01:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: lol, i'm amazed you didn't properly diagnose it with that amazing description of the problem | 01:00 |
| penol | nickrud, give me a sec to translate the message | 01:00 |

| ally_xoxo | IndyGunFreak: how secure is that delete method? | 01:03 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I noticed moving a window is a bit different | 01:03 |
| tumbleweed__ | ally_xoxo : use shred for secure deletion | 01:03 |
| ally_xoxo | i sometimes keep bank statements that i need to securely delete | 01:03 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: double click the title bar | 01:03 |
| ally_xoxo | oh yes, that is what i wanted to use "shred" | 01:03 |
| syntaxerror55 | xomp, download the file, you'll get a .deb package, install it. That fixed all my flash problems. :) | 01:03 |
| theAtom | how can i wipe free space in ubuntu plz? | 01:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | ally_xoxo: well, when you delete somethig that was a root file, thats the only way you can delete it... it should be just as secure as a regular delete, it just means there's a root file that needs removed from ./Trash | 01:03 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: didn't do any nifty resize effect. | 01:03 |
| tumbleweed__ | type shred --help for options to make the deletion more secure | 01:03 |
| theAtom | NickPresta, any ideas? | 01:03 |

| IndyGunFreak | theAtom: then use partedmagic or gparted... geez. | 01:11 |
| tumbleweed__ | you'd have to download the ps2 version and set up your usb guitar as a controller, I guess | 01:11 |

| vrkhans | any one know any utility which i can use | 01:19 |
| syntaxerror55 | xomp, I really don't know why | 01:20 |

| syntaxerror55 | xomp, that's definitely why | 01:20 |
| tmp | syntaxerror55, isn't there some file in /proc that tells you | 01:20 |
| Flannel | misslecommander: and, you're wondering where the swap space is so you can share it? Right now you have no swap space. You have five ntfs partitions, three on on drive, two on the other, and then on the former drive, you have another partition, which has your linux install on it | 01:20 |
| misslecommander | vrkhans: photoshop | 01:20 |
| ally_xoxo | does that delete only "test" folder? | 01:20 |
| penol | how can i join more servers with Xchat? | 01:20 |
| wharp | vrkhans: ImageMagic | 01:20 |
| GoetzC | hi wharp, I'm only searching a repo like the trevino's repo for feisty, because y want to use the new plugins like freewins and maybe there is something better in the core code. | 01:20 |
| xomp | not sure how good my graphics card is but ppl say it's more than enough. My lspci -nn | grep VGA reports this; 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] [1002:4c57] | 01:20 |
| Flannel | misslecommander: Right now, we can't tell whats on each NTFS drive (well, at least not from the fstab), you'll have to either compare sizes, or drive contents or something like that | 01:20 |
| syntaxerror55 | tmp, I'm not sure. | 01:20 |
| misslecommander | Flannel: yes, that is correct. i didnt want to mess with the swapfile as that is on an account that allows me to use this one | 01:21 |

| creature | So, I have a RAID setup in which /boot is on an unencrypted RAID1 device on 2 HDs. This should then load the rest of the system from an encrypted RAID5 device across 4 HDs. I recently changed which IDE channel some of these drives were on, and now things don't boot. How do I get my system booting again? | 01:27 |
| creature | I have 4 HDs. for 2 of them, It hits 'Verifying DMI Pool Data' and doesn't do anything else. Just hangs. For the other 2 it drops to 'Boot from CD:' and hangs, because there's on CD in the drive. | 01:27 |
| chickin | dman well, Im not using ubuntu, im using winxp on a very old comp and the mouse works for every thing elce :/ | 01:27 |
| dman | chickin: what's wrong wih it? it just won't move th cursor? | 01:27 |
| creature | This is probably be expected, as 2 of the drives make up a RAID1 array of /boot, and so will have the bootable flag set. | 01:27 |

| bcarm17 | why won't my ubuntu live cd work?? | 02:03 |
| Apprentice | blabla | 02:04 |
| Starnestommy | achilles: either works | 02:04 |
| dman | achilles: they are both basically the same, just diffwerent interface. programs work in both. your choice. | 02:04 |
| Starnestommy | bcarm17: are you getting any error messages? | 02:04 |
| wyclif | bcarm17 do you have i386 or 64bit? | 02:04 |
| bcarm17 | both | 02:04 |

| bcarm17 | udevd-event[2406]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe' abnormal exit | 02:04 |
| greg-g | achilles: which ever one you want, the difference between those is only the user interface, not the underlying stuff (in very general terms) | 02:04 |
| bcarm17 | thats the error code | 02:04 |
| vontux | robdig: would iwconfig eth1 pull up my wep key too? | 02:04 |

| Starnestommy | bcarm17: the file /sbin/modprobe on the livecd may be corrupt | 02:05 |
| RazzoRz | Was asking if one knew Witch is able to be used with youtube! | 02:05 |
| vontux | robdig: because my interfaces file doesn't have my wep key in it | 02:05 |
| wyclif | perhaps you need a reboot | 02:05 |

| robdig | vontux: hmm... | 02:05 |
| bcarm17 | one 64 bit and one i386 | 02:06 |
| wyclif | ToxicSoul am considering installing fluxbox since GNOME is not lean and mean enough for me. how do you like it? | 02:06 |
| greg-g | RazzoRz: I would suggest that Google is your friend in investigating which one works with youtube | 02:06 |
| * regeya missed what the question wsa bout youtube | 02:07 | |
| wyclif | i remember blackbox and how great that was, so...it seems natural | 02:07 |
| ubud | how to make kaffeine the default player for live radio? | 02:07 |
| RazzoRz | HAHA google is MY best friend.. Trust me!.. but if i dont have to trial and error... and if one knows ( ie ) having done it b4 ... witch ones works the best! | 02:07 |
| regeya | was about, even...RazzoRz? | 02:07 |
| jnascimento | jscinoz: you may try "s/\(.{8}\)/[\1]/g" | 02:07 |

| regeya | wyclif: I feel that way about Window Maker...I guess if anyone were to modernize it a bit more, and if the debian packager would apply a very minor patch to get DnD working... | 02:08 |
| wharp | achilles: You should try to program cross-platform that way people can use your software no matter what platform they're on. | 02:08 |
| dman | rgeya: he's trying to find a screencast app that is compatible w/ youtube | 02:08 |
| wyclif | regeya heh... | 02:08 |
| ToxicSoul | Anyone have any ideas why the root-menu won't show up in fluxbox? | 02:09 |
| JonathanEllis | Once I have edited xorg.conf do I need to reboot before the file is parsed? | 02:09 |
| astro76 | achilles: you should look into programming with qt toolkit (what kde uses) because it's easy to do cross-platform | 02:09 |
| jnascimento | jscinoz: sed "s/\(.\{8\}\)/[\1]/g" | 02:09 |
| jnascimento | this workds | 02:09 |
| regeya | ah...well, wouldn't know dman :-> | 02:09 |
| astro76 | achilles: and kdevelop is a great ide for that | 02:09 |
| Starnestommy | JonathanEllis: you just need to restart X | 02:09 |
| achilles | wharp but its possible to make linux software in windows right? | 02:09 |
| JonathanEllis | Restart x? How? | 02:09 |
| regeya | boopy boopy | 02:09 |

| alsuren | I have an amd64 CPU, and am currently running 32bit ubuntu. Is it worth me trying to run 64 bit? | 02:10 |
| bcarm17 | Starnestommy: can i pm u? | 02:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wyclif: to offtopic | 02:10 |
| Starnestommy | bcarm17: go ahead, but I'd rather keep it in-channel | 02:10 |
| regeya | it's very possible to write cross-platform software...there are a number of different options available. you could go java, or maybe something like wxWidgets...there are even bindings for wxWidgets for languages such as python and ruby... | 02:10 |
| wyclif | what's offtopic there, Cap'n Jack? | 02:10 |
| achilles | warp ok than ill stick to windows since all the software i need is windows only like photoshop and office 2007 but when i develop software ill make sure its linux compatible too:) | 02:11 |
| NeoOokami | alsuren: You inherit some heavy performance boosts on math heavy applications, as well as some headaches with 32-bit only things. | 02:11 |
| * regeya has been meaning to give wxsugar a try | 02:11 | |

| wyclif | Jack_Sparrow that wasn't me | 02:12 |

| wyclif | Jack_Sparrow where did I discuss programming? not here | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | wyclif: Sorry if I was mistaken... | 02:13 |
| ToxicSoul | Anyone have any ideas why the root-menu won't show up in fluxbox? | 02:13 |
| regeya | Jack_Sparrow: sorry; two other people were discussing cross-platform, thought I'd throw in my two bits. lay off the rum, matey. | 02:13 |
| regeya | one line does not a conversation make. | 02:13 |
| pure`eigenVector | so I've made sure that ULi Electronics Device Drivers were compiled as modules in my kernel, however my computer still won't mount my raided hard drives on that uli controller... any ideas? | 02:13 |
| shyguy345 | who dual boots xp and ubuntu? | 02:13 |
| Edge | I do | 02:13 |
| dman | regeya: nice, and true. | 02:13 |
| alsuren | NeoOokami: floating point or fixed point math? Are they both faster under 64bit? | 02:13 |
| Edge | i just set-up mine. | 02:14 |
| achilles | i do too | 02:14 |
| dman | shyguy345: i do. only use ubuntu tho most of the time | 02:14 |
| shyguy345 | me 3 | 02:14 |
| achilles | im finding out its not worth it | 02:14 |
| Edge | lol | 02:14 |
| achilles | its not benefiting me in any way | 02:14 |
| pizzel | hm | 02:14 |
| NeoOokami | Both I believe. Though the real performance boost comes from having twice the registers to work with. | 02:14 |
| jnascimento | Neookami: just for floating operation i believe | 02:14 |
| Edge | i am really impressed by the speed of the processing. | 02:14 |
| dman | shyguy345: why? | 02:14 |
| shyguy345 | i dont know | 02:14 |
| NeoOokami | Tends to make applications such as compression and encoding go substantially faster. | 02:14 |

| agreenmac | while im installing.. whats a good video editing program for ubuntu | 02:19 |

| ArthurArchnix | snipes44: Use gconf-editor.. in a terminal "gconf-editor", then search for autostart and check the box that says include key names. Then uncheck the keys that says "autoplay cda", "autoplay dvd", "autoplay vcd". | 02:29 |
| snipes44 | trying to do the switch to linux from windows 30 day trial ripping music is very important for me since I have a very large collection | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !unrar | 02:29 |
| dman | zachalink: sudo apt-get install unrar | 02:29 |
| ubotu | rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free | 02:29 |
| snipes44 | ArthurArchnix: ok will try that | 02:30 |
| zachalink | ty, bye | 02:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | snipes44: dman A restart Ctrl+Alt+Backspace may be required. | 02:30 |
| dman | zachalink: unrar will decompress. have to pay to compress w/ rar | 02:30 |
| snipes44 | is there and advanteage to riping with sound juicer over rythmbox? | 02:30 |
| snipes44 | ' | 02:30 |
| DjZisko | DjZisko | 02:30 |
| snipes44 | been using rythmbox seems to work fine | 02:30 |
| zachalink | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. what now? | 02:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | snipes44: Perhaps more control over the extraction method and quality of rip. | 02:30 |
| DjZisko | Hi Guys | 02:31 |
| shayne | how do i have my website accessable without using a default route? | 02:31 |
| dman | ArthurArchnix: thanks. just wanted to know in case i needed it. ctr-alt-bkspace is really handy in linux. | 02:31 |
| snipes44 | ArthurArchnix: ya more then likely will have to restart x | 02:31 |
| zachalink | so... wat now | 02:31 |
| phreck | emerald just ate shite on me | 02:31 |
| phreck | whats the command to bring it back up again? | 02:31 |
| ArthurArchnix | dman: snipes44 My pleasure. Indeed. I love the lack of restarts required on linux. | 02:31 |
| nownot | how would i install this pkg form command line http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/graphics/imagemagick ?? | 02:32 |
| dman | zachalink: standard archive manager will decompress rars. | 02:32 |
| dman | now. | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dman: I try to avoid ctrl-alt-backsapce .... Make sure if you use it you shut everything down | 02:32 |
| dman | nownot: sudo apt-get install imagemagick | 02:32 |
| bkar | shayne what do you mean by that? | 02:32 |
| wharp | nownot: sudo apt-get install imagemagick | 02:32 |
| zachalink | it says it is not supported... | 02:32 |
| nownot | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 19 not upgraded. | 02:32 |
| snipes44 | ArthurArchnix: so gconf-editor is like regedit in windows? | 02:32 |
| dman | dman: i know. it is useful when needed tho. better than hard power down at least to cure a freeze | 02:32 |
| nownot | but when i do confer --version i get convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 02:33 |
| dman | snipes44: kind of. more user friendly, with less settings. the system doesn't depend on it as much. | 02:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | snipes44: Not really. It seems like it, but the registry in Windows has no comparison in... anything. :) | 02:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | snipes44: Like dman says. | 02:33 |
| snipes44 | ArthurArchnix: lol | 02:33 |
| nownot | wharp, dman: i installed from package but get error when i check version | 02:34 |
| wharp | dman Jack_Sparrow there's also alt+Printscreen REISUB (I believe that's correct) that will keep from having to use the power switch | 02:34 |
| dman | nownot: try System > Administration > Synaptic Package manager. search for it, then reinstall it. | 02:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | phreck: #Compiz will be able to help with that | 02:34 |
| phreck | how do you start emerald up | 02:34 |

| nownot | dman: maybe if i completely uninstall then reinstall? how do i completely uninstall a package | 02:36 |
| wharp | dman: you might want to double check it as I've had trouble getting it to work lately. But each letter does something such as unmounting drives so its pretty safe. | 02:36 |
| pizzel | dman: i'm trying to install flash plugin and it's asking to enter mozilla path | 02:36 |

| pizzel | robdig: thanks | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pizzel: Flash is proken.... Which instructions are you following | 02:37 |
| robdig | pizzel: np | 02:37 |
| dman | robdig: pizzel: that's what i was trying to remember. he's right. | 02:37 |
| a1 | was setting up a machine for ubuntu all these pieces worked in my other chassis, i move it over and now nothing comes up on screen.. | 02:37 |
| a1 | the psu fan spins, the cpu fan spins, but i get nothing | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues | 02:37 |
| 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. | 02:37 |
| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: so i might have stuff everywhere ........... | 02:37 |
| a1 | no boot noises | 02:37 |
| a1 | is this a dead psu? | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nownot: I can give you the Unofficial Fix I used.. | 02:38 |
| dman | a1: not if the fans are spinning. bad connection maybe? check the wires | 02:38 |
| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: pls do | 02:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | Technically, flash is broken for kubuntu, and opera users. Gnome firefox users can use the workaround fix without issue. | 02:38 |
| a1 | hm | 02:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | At least, according to link last time I read it. | 02:38 |
| a1 | ok will check, its an old board, there arent that many connectors | 02:38 |
| vontux | sudo iwconfig <interface> will result in outputting your current wep key | 02:38 |

| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: flash plugin? | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nownot: Did I misread what you were trying to install | 02:39 |
| ArthurArchnix | DOOM_NX: Really? I haven't. Could be true. The flash upgrade broke a lot of things. | 02:39 |
| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: yea im on imagemagick | 02:39 |

| Jack_Sparrow | nownot: So why are you trying to reinstall everything. | 02:41 |
| ArthurArchnix | DOOM_NX: Yeah. No problems there. | 02:42 |
| nownot | b/c i get this error when checking imagemagick version convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 02:42 |
| DOOM_NX | ArthurArchnix, if u see some high action videos then u'll notice that tearing | 02:42 |
| bkar | shayne if I understood you correctly, am trying to hit your box, dns says use your router1, and since you have move it to router2 you expect me to hit your box still? | 02:42 |
| DOOM_NX | ArthurArchnix, pay attention in ur next youtube video | 02:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | DOOM_NX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWn0lxRNqos | 02:42 |
| snipes44 | whats the diff between "automount_drives" and "automount_media" ? | 02:43 |
| jithesh | what?? | 02:43 |
| ArthurArchnix | DOOM_NX: Ahh... yeah, that link isn't exactly high action. | 02:43 |
| jithesh | yup!!! | 02:43 |

| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: b/c i get this error when checking imagemagick version convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 02:43 |
| DOOM_NX | still if it moves horizontally u will notice it | 02:43 |

| jscinoz | how can i tell sed to remove lines with less than 26 characters? | 02:43 |

| snipes44 | jithesh: yep | 02:43 |
| chewd | aaaugh... now i dont have sound in totem either :( | 02:44 |
| dman | jithesh: what is it | 02:44 |
| DOOM_NX | dman, no, because even windows users with flash 9 were able to reproduce it | 02:44 |
| ArthurArchnix | DOOM_NX: You could be right. I don't have a dedicated video card though. Either way, I don't think anyone is impressed with flash9. | 02:44 |
| Jangari | ultimate? | 02:44 |
| jithesh | okay.how to use 3d effects? | 02:44 |
| emosamurai | Does anyone know of any good Linux tutorials? | 02:44 |

| jscinoz | sorry no... | 02:44 |
| Jangari | quandary* | 02:44 |
| bkar | shayne that will not work as you have experienced, you have to somehow get the dns to rotate between your routers, some kind of a load balancer through your ISP | 02:44 |
| DOOM_NX | ArthurArchnix, i've done a research today, a lot of users have the same problem, so i feel kinda relieved i'm not alone... | 02:44 |
| dman | DOOM_NX: seems like a flash problem then. either flash or the flash vid. | 02:44 |
| DOOM_NX | still i want this to be fixed by adobe | 02:44 |
| chewd | okay... anybody care to help me with my spelling? | 02:44 |
| ArthurArchnix | DOOM_NX: I believe you. | 02:44 |
| chewd | lol | 02:44 |
| andresj | "from: can't read /var/mail/__future__" that is what Python tells me when I try to run an executable script. hwo can I fix it? | 02:45 |

| jithesh | Snips44: Let me check | 02:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nownot: I just verified that I could install it without errors from official repos.. | 02:45 |
| snipes44 | jithesh: i ran the byrl one | 02:45 |
| chewd | okay... ive been trying to get xine to work... its got no sound.. so i went monkeying around in synaptic... installed notum & pulseaudio | 02:46 |
| kilgor3 | id normally use evolution but i dont want it to sync with my email | 02:46 |
| chewd | now sound doesnt work in movieplayer either | 02:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kilgor3: You can look at sunfire from Mozilla | 02:46 |
| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: do convert --version and see what you get | 02:46 |
| shayne | bkar: i guess a better question is...how do i have the data from my webserver get routed to a router that isnt my default router? | 02:46 |
| andresj | never mind. I had forgetten the ! in #!/usr/bin/python2.5... it was running it as a bash script :) | 02:46 |
| DOOM_NX | anybody actually using MPLAYER? | 02:46 |
| xamox | is there a way I can set my stuff up so I don't have to type my sudo password all the time for admin stuff? I'm the only one that uses my machine. I don't even mind if it's once everytime I boot, but it get's annoying everytime I want to open something like synaptic that I have to type it. | 02:46 |
| snipes44 | jithesh: not sure how to make it start at every boot I just start it up maneully | 02:46 |
| dman | doom_nx: nope. amarok. vlc for vids mostly. | 02:46 |
| chewd | no sound in notum VLC either | 02:46 |
| DOOM_NX | dman thanks | 02:47 |
| nownot | Jack_Sparrow: did uninstall and reinstall and still got error convert: error while loading shared libraries: libMagick.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 02:47 |
| chewd | actually... no video in VLC for that matter.. .just green lines | 02:47 |
| chewd | the more i monkey with it... the less it works :( | 02:47 |
| DOOM_NX | still many errors in gutsy >< | 02:47 |

| dman | chewd: not that i know of. sorry. | 02:54 |
| oreth | the normal x386 install | 02:54 |
| zachalink | when I get to the configuring sun-java6-jre page, how do I press ok and move on? | 02:55 |
| neW1 | there should be no problem there, i have amd64 and i've alway used 32 bit version, without any problems | 02:55 |
| astro76 | zachalink: tab and space/enter | 02:55 |
| bkar | zachalink-> come again? | 02:55 |
| oreth | well | 02:55 |
| dman | oreth: that shouldn';t have any bad effects. just not any of the advantages of 64-bit. cd burning should work fine. | 02:55 |
| zachalink | ty | 02:55 |
| oreth | dman: :( | 02:55 |
| oreth | it always fails | 02:55 |
| oreth | same for DVD burning | 02:55 |
| neW1 | are you using braesero ? | 02:55 |
| chewd | hmmm | 02:55 |
| oreth | as well as general clunkyness id idn't see in 7.10 640bit | 02:55 |
| robdig | oreth: your problem is more likely to be that 8.04 isn't generally released yet, it is in the testing phase. if you need help with 8.04, you need to join #ubuntu+1 | 02:55 |
| oreth | er.. 64-bit | 02:56 |
| bkar | astro76-> there is such thing as configuring sun-java6-jre ? how? | 02:56 |
| chewd | perhaps if i go through synaptic & remove the stuff i installed | 02:56 |
| jack-desktop | hello guys. | 02:56 |
| chewd | what is pulse-audio anyway? | 02:56 |
| dman | oreth: yeah, what robdig said. that's most likely your problem. a bug | 02:56 |
| oreth | well then | 02:56 |
| oreth | how about this question | 02:56 |
| dman | chewd: that might help. | 02:56 |
| shayne | bkar: iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -j MARK --set-mark 4 | 02:56 |
| oreth | how do I roll back to 7.10 without wiping all my information? | 02:56 |
| chewd | dman: thats what i installed & made everything stop working | 02:57 |
| oreth | seriously... re-isntalling WoW is becoming a PAIN in the ASS | 02:57 |
| dman | oreth: back up first. lol | 02:57 |
| chewd | okay its uninstalled.. time for reboot.. wish me luck :) | 02:57 |
| dman | chewd: good luck! | 02:57 |
| ScofieLBag | hi how can i connet a wireless?? | 02:57 |
| neW1 | good luck :) | 02:57 |
| bkar | shayne-> that just marks a packet, to tell it to use which route table is? | 02:57 |
| oreth | what are the advantages of using the 64-bit install? | 02:58 |
| pizzel | what does server install of ubuntu really install? | 02:58 |
| shayne | bkar: ip route add table 4 default via 192.168.1.1 dev br0 | 02:58 |
| shayne | ip rule add fwmark 4 table 4 | 02:58 |
| Thugacation | hey | 02:58 |
| Thugacation | can someone help me install ubuntu | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | oreth: a bit more preformace on 64bit machines.. but normally nor worth the hassle for most desktop users. | 02:58 |
| astro76 | bkar: when you install you are asked to read a license, zachalink installed it through the command line | 02:58 |
| krazytekn0 | oreth, there's not a whole lot other than the "Hey I'm using x64 aspect" unless you're doing serious crypto/scientific number crunching | 02:58 |
| dman | oreth: faster speeds on encoding, archiving, etc. stuff like that. lets you use more ram. downside is much less compatibility | 02:58 |
| neW1 | oreth, basicly you wont notice a thing, except for the bugs :P | 02:58 |
| speedcore | quick question: Has anyone succesfully installed vmware-server in 64bit gutsy? What version is the best, 1.02 1.03 1.03? I've googled alot but hard to find answer. | 02:59 |
| dman | new1: nice | 02:59 |
| bkar | astro76-> ah okay, i didnt understood him at first | 02:59 |
| oreth | oh | 02:59 |
| oreth | well, i'm a dev | 02:59 |
| bkar | shayne-> way cool.. | 02:59 |
| dman | pizzel: no gui, server optimized core, server packages, etc... | 02:59 |
| oreth | would I see any significant performance upgrades while compiling? | 02:59 |
| shayne | bkar: now i can download torrents from my phone connection, host websites over the cable modem, and not disturb traffic :) | 03:00 |
| ushimitsudoki | oreth: I don't understand the hating on 64-bit. I'm using it on the desktop and haven't noticed any major problems. | 03:00 |
| ubud | I cannot play live raido can anyone help | 03:00 |
| krazytekn0 | oreth, 64 bit architecture is slower than 32, most of your apps will run faster in 32 bit. 64 bit has real advantage when it comes to address space, if you have 32 GB of RAM you're using 64 bit, | 03:00 |
| dman | oreth: i doubt it. not enough to make it worth the hassle yet. | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ushimitsudoki: untill one does hit you and stops you dead in the water.... | 03:00 |
| speedcore | how much ram can 32bit handle? | 03:00 |
| krazytekn0 | *not much slower, but slower in more programs than faster | 03:00 |
| neW1 | speedcore: 4gigs | 03:01 |
| bkar | shayne you are more advance than i in using iproute2 ..neat | 03:01 |
| dman | speedcore: 4gb, but more than 1bg of that is internal, so about 3gb max | 03:01 |
| chewd | hey i got it working again.. had to uninstall & reinstall totem | 03:01 |
| xcst | hello there | 03:01 |
| xcst | need help | 03:01 |
| speedcore | I noticed higher latency in the gutsy menus with 64 then with 32 | 03:01 |
| chewd | guess ill just have to learn to live with totem | 03:01 |
| dman | chewd: nice =] | 03:01 |
| oreth | ok | 03:01 |
| oreth | how can i roll back to 7.10 from 8.04? | 03:01 |
| chewd | just wish it had some more config options | 03:01 |
| astro76 | oreth: reinstall | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | oreth: i dont think you can. | 03:01 |
| xcst | im using ubuntu gutsy and have a sony ericsson mobile phone, and i want to use it to connect to the internet, can somebody help me | 03:01 |
| ushimitsudoki | Dr_Willis: well, all i can say is i have all the applications running I need, and I then only time 64 bit has even came up is because of Flash ... I'm sure other people have other experiences, it just seems to me there's a lot of FUD around the 64-bit edition | 03:01 |
| dman | oreth: i don't think you can. just back up, then reinstall | 03:01 |
| chewd | are there skins for totem? | 03:01 |
| krazytekn0 | oreth uh... reinstall totally | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !downgrade | 03:02 |
| oreth | will it wipe my drive? | 03:02 |
| ubotu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 03:02 |
| neW1 | oreth: i dont think you can the way you want to | 03:02 |
| neW1 | oreth, yes | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ushimitsudoki: flash is its own worst enemy.. :) | 03:02 |
| oreth | FRICK | 03:02 |
| neW1 | :/ | 03:02 |
| ushimitsudoki | Dr_Willis: Now i will certainly agree to that! :) | 03:02 |
| fuzzypig | hello, does anyone know how I can change the default number of periods per buffer that alsa uses? | 03:02 |
| dman | oreth: sorry, but that's how it is =[ | 03:02 |
| oreth | i can't get my dvd shrink to work properly :( | 03:02 |
| krazytekn0 | Why do people upgrade computers they NEED to testing distros? | 03:02 |
| speedcore | willis... what flash? adobe? | 03:02 |
| krazytekn0 | i don't get it! | 03:02 |
| oreth | krazytekn0: this is my home computer... | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | ushimitsudoki: theres a lot of claims about it also thats unproven. - I dont bother. I got no benifits from it.. and i dont want to troubleshoot the variantions. I say in 2 years 64bit will be the standard. | 03:02 |
| oreth | i don't NEED it | 03:02 |
| oreth | as I have 3 others | 03:03 |
| nickrud | krazytekn0: a person with that nick asking that question? Must be an old nick | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | work time for me.. I gotta run. | 03:03 |
| dman | krazytekn0: not sure. i don't, which is why this runs gutsy 32-bit. stable, and fast | 03:03 |
| oreth | it's just.. this one is my desktop | 03:03 |
| fuzzypig | I have an integrated sound board, and some apps let me switch to 3 periods. Mic works better that way. | 03:03 |
| zachalink | my sound... disappeared | 03:03 |
| zachalink | what the heck happened | 03:03 |
| dman | oreth: it happens. you'll know better next itme. | 03:03 |

| Vad2 | What is the right way to get X to accept a new video card? (like when you disable the old one, and put the new one in)? | 03:03 |
| krazytekn0 | oreth, well it's a good lesson for everyone to learn, figure out if there's a downgrade path before upgrading... | 03:03 |
| oreth | i think the worst part will be re-installing all my python libraries | 03:03 |
| oreth | and world of warcraft | 03:04 |
| speedcore | can someome develop an opensource flash... what happend to svg? | 03:04 |
| oreth | and all my world of warcraft addons :| | 03:04 |
| neW1 | @dman, is opera still having trouble with the flash player ? :| | 03:04 |
| dman | speedcore: thats what gnash is. the problem is, it sucks | 03:04 |
| nickrud | oreth: save your home, you shouldn't have to reinstall wow at all | 03:04 |
| zachalink | please, I need a fix for this asap | 03:04 |
| zachalink | I need my sound back. :'( | 03:04 |

| zachalink | how do I do that fuzzy | 03:07 |
| krazytekn0 | click inside the little window that pops up and the button number will show up in terminal, but it also shows every movement. so you have to be careful not to move the mouse | 03:07 |

| xcst | im using ubuntu gutsy and have a sony ericsson mobile phone, and i want to use it to connect to the internet, can somebody help me | 03:09 |

| nickrud | etfb: I can tell you the first thing you should do: unplug it, run tail -f /var/log/syslog in a terminal, and plug it in. You'll get some diagnostic messages | 03:40 |
| atomdog2003 | usr13: so is that it? should I just assume all is well? | 03:40 |

| xenthro | anybody know how to make a file open with an app installed through wine? | 03:40 |
| usr13 | atomdog2003: You shouldn't have to. If you look in the upper right corner of the screen, you should see an icon that looks like a monitot, (when not connected), if you click on it (or right click, not srue), you'll see the available wireless router essid(s), and you can just click on it and it will connect to it). | 03:41 |
| usr13 | atomdog2003: I just find the command line options earsier to tell about here. | 03:41 |
| usr13 | monitor not monitot | 03:42 |
| ushimitsudoki | xenthro: you use the app name (and it's arguments if needed) as argument to wine | 03:42 |
| atomdog2003 | awesome I can ssh into it now so I don't have to run from one room to the other when you give me instructions | 03:42 |

| lymbzero | Anyone know how to reinstall the mysql files in /var/lib? | 03:42 |
| atomdog2003 | usr13: I don't know - I tried just about every option the gui had to offer with no luck | 03:42 |
| xenthro | ushimitsudoki how do i find out what those arguments are/what is the format? | 03:42 |
| ushimitsudoki | xenthro: For example: I use this to launch Team Fortress 2 in wine: env WINEPREFIX="/home/jason/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 440 -dxlevel 81 -w 1920 -h 1200 | 03:42 |
| usr13 | atomdog2003: Is your system fully updated? | 03:43 |

| xenthro | ushimitsudoki env WINEPREFIX="/home/yuri/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\QuickSFV\QuickSFV.exe" when I use that line in the "open with" dialog, nothing happens | 03:43 |
| bkar | SpookyET-> nfs | 03:43 |
| usr13 | atomdog2003: While it's connected, you'll see signal strength meter. | 03:44 |
| usr13 | atomdog2003: (Instead of the monitor looking icon.) | 03:44 |
| ushimitsudoki | xenthro: Was the program installed correctly? Does it show up in the Wine sub-menu off the Applications menu? Is the application "QuickSFV" supported in Wine - you can check AppDB at the Wine site to be sure? | 03:45 |
| agreenmac | i just installed ubuntu 7.10 and it asked to remove the disk and resart so i did and now im getting an invalid boot diskette error | 03:45 |

| xenthro | ushimitsudoki no, its not in the app folders although if i open the app first, then it works fine | 03:45 |

| Ashnal | they are linux executable | 03:57 |

| Hajuu | any ideas? | 04:53 |
| zriyac | 10q | 04:53 |

| astro76 | hmm that will do nothing C_Kode , at least without a --purge | 04:54 |

| astro76 | C_Kode: there's definitely a lot of ex windows users in here trying windows solutions to linux, this is true | 04:55 |
| aRyn_ | astro76: yes, and this is a way, so he can install everything again from scratch | 04:55 |

| Starnestommy | nownot: it's one of those two devices | 04:56 |
| nownot | astro76: no i dont have gui and no it didnt automount | 04:56 |
| astro76 | nano__: you removed it using synaptic, so reinstall it | 04:56 |
| nownot | Starnestommy: how do i mount one of those? im only used to dev/????? | 04:56 |

| xenthro | nownot sometimes the automounter does funky stuff in my experience. restarting the machine fixes it for me | 04:56 |
| bullgard4 | English help wanted. After switching on my Ubuntu 7.10, it shows a lot of status messages before the log-in screen appears. How does Ubuntu call these messages?

| Elevator_Hazard | bullgard4: is the text showing up not in english? | 04:57 |
| farruinn | bullgard4: the bootup messages? | 04:57 |
| farruinn | Elevator_Hazard: I think he wants to know what they're called in english | 04:57 |
| nano__ | astro76: but i am not connected to the internet | 04:57 |
| Hajuu | C_Kode: apt-get is as easy as you can get | 04:57 |
| C_Kode | actually, it's the change in the init process that actually screws me up | 04:58 |
| Elevator_Hazard | farruinn: it looked like english to me. | 04:58 |
| xenthro | C_Kode familiariaze yourself with apt-get install/remove/update/upgrade/purge | 04:58 |
| astro76 | nano__: yeah I suppose that could make things difficult | 04:58 |
| C_Kode | Hajuu: yeah, I haven't found it that difficult. It's the change in inits. The missing inittab screws me up | 04:58 |
| rebecca_ | hey im new to ubuntu | 04:58 |
| bullgard4 | Elevator_Hazard: The text shown is in English. | 04:58 |
| Hajuu | They arent called anything :/ | 04:58 |

| nano__ | astro76: havent smelled the internet since i got ubuntu | 04:58 |
| xenthro | C_Kode "yum search" is similar to "apt-cache search "foobar" | 04:58 |
| Elevator_Hazard | bullgard4: What was the question? | 04:59 |
| Hajuu | bullgard4: they arent called anything. they are generated by the kernal piping to a terminal. | 04:59 |
| astro76 | nano__: you could add the install cd as a source | 04:59 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Ah... | 04:59 |

| aRyn_ | astro76: no one wants to destry anything, he just ask for it | 05:03 |
| Hajuu | check it out in synaptic | 05:03 |
| aRyn_ | thats all | 05:03 |

| Hajuu | xenthro: hehh yeah.. ever try SPEAKING python? :P | 05:09 |
| Elevator_Hazard | agreenmac: but that might not be the problem. | 05:09 |

| tsrk | Starnestommy, what do you mean "oper up"? And how do I restart ircd after changing the conf file? | 05:14 |
| Elevator_Hazard | agreenmac: is there a problem finding drivers and does it ask you to tell it your video card drivers and/or monitor stuff? | 05:14 |
| agreenmac | Elevator_Hazard: ok so the orange progress bar loads and the screen goes blank | 05:14 |
| Starnestommy | tsrk: did you add an o:line or oper section to ircd.conf? | 05:14 |
| Elevator_Hazard | agreenmac: no safe graphics mode? | 05:14 |
| agreenmac | Elevator_Hazard: then it saws running local boot scripts along with a couple of other things | 05:14 |
| tsrk | Nope | 05:14 |
| tsrk | Do I need to? | 05:15 |
| agreenmac | Elevator_Hazard: im in safe graphics user mode | 05:15 |

| Elevator_Hazard | agreenmac: Any dialogs pop up? | 05:15 |

| Hajuu | LOL WTF.. Ok so neither of them would work on their own, even in different slots.. but if I put BOTH in together, neither in the original slot.. both work. | 05:18 |
| agreenmac | nickrud - i dont see anything | 05:18 |
| Hajuu | How.. very... strange. | 05:18 |
| penol | nickrud, how to run .cpkg files? | 05:18 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: hit alt-f2 do you see a login there | 05:18 |
| tsrk | So, I made some changes to ircd.conf, how do I restart IRCD? (Or do I not have to?) | 05:18 |
| nickrud | penol: no idea, not sure what that is | 05:18 |
| agreenmac | i see a command prompt i think nickrud | 05:18 |
| Starnestommy | tsrk: do sudo invoke-rc.d ircd-hybrid restart | 05:18 |
| farruinn | Hajuu: a bad slot? | 05:18 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: you should see login: | 05:18 |
| === Jannitax is now known as Jannit | ||
| tsrk | Ah, ok, thanks | 05:19 |
| === Jannit is now known as Jannita | ||
| agreenmac | nickrud - i see ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 05:19 |
| agreenmac | and i can type | 05:19 |
| Starnestommy | tsrk: once it's restarted, connect to it, then do /oper username password. After opering up, just type /quote rehash to reload the config from then on | 05:19 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: ok. Is this the live cd? | 05:19 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: he's booting off livecd by the way | 05:19 |
| agreenmac | nickrud - yeah | 05:19 |
| aRyn_ | bullgard4: And how to log the possible ones? (what's about "bootup-messages" or "booting mess."?) :> | 05:19 |
| tsrk | Ok, slight problem when restarting it: Restarting Hybrid 7 IRC Server: ircd-hybridinvoke-rc.d: initscript ircd-hybrid, action "restart" failed. | 05:19 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: then the livecd and your video card don't get along. What video card do you have? | 05:20 |
| nano__ | hi guys, | 05:20 |
| nano__ | does anybody know where libc is in ubuntu | 05:20 |
| agreenmac | i have a dell dimension 2100... im a totall noob i have no idea | 05:20 |
| nickrud | nano__: it's libc6 in ubuntu | 05:20 |
| spdf | agreenmac, likely intel | 05:20 |
| Starnestommy | tsrk: try sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid stop; sudo /etc/init.d/ircd-hybrid start | 05:20 |
| agreenmac | nickrud - yeah im pretty sure its intel | 05:20 |
| nano__ | nickrud: where about is it? | 05:20 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: type lspci | grep -i vga , it will spit back a line telling you what it is | 05:21 |
| tsrk | Ok, thanks, that worked | 05:21 |
| nickrud | nano__: different parts are found in different places ... what are you trying to do? | 05:21 |
| spdf | agreenmac, yep i810e integrated video | 05:21 |
| nano__ | well, there are only 2 main parts....the source files and the headers right.? | 05:22 |
| jack-desktop | everyone having a good night? | 05:22 |
| nickrud | spdf: you know intel well? cuz I sure don't | 05:22 |
| agreenmac | nickrud it says compatible controller | 05:22 |
| agreenmac | nickrud geforce4 mx 4000 | 05:22 |
| regulate | spdf: heh | 05:22 |
| spdf | agreenmac, Is the onboard video disabled? | 05:22 |
| Hajuu | how do I bind say eth0 to a specific network card? | 05:22 |
| agreenmac | nickrud: how do i figure that out | 05:23 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: Back to the sound issue I had about USB Audio - some sounds that KDE makes like the intro sound go through my USB Audio... | 05:23 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: check your bios , you have to boot to it. | 05:23 |
| agreenmac | ok | 05:23 |
| pipehh | what is the comand the folder root?? | 05:23 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: really weird... | 05:23 |
| jeffMASTERflex | nano__: libc.so.6 should be in /lib | 05:23 |
| jrib | pipehh: what are you trying to do? | 05:23 |
| agreenmac | nickrud: ok so im in the BIOS | 05:23 |
| spdf | agreenmac, Poke around in there, being mindful not to change anything, and look for somethign along the lines of "ONBOARD VGA" | 05:24 |
| nano__ | jeffMasterFlex: thnx | 05:24 |
| nickrud | agreenmac: I don't know your bios, you'll have to look through it for anything about the video. And spdf seems to know that machine | 05:24 |
| pipehh | 05:24 | |
| pipehh | Mmhh ... Putting a new panel | 05:24 |
| pipehh | in add to panel | 05:25 |
| agreenmac | spdf: i got into the video config and theres one thing there, primary video adapter. i clicked on that on theres 2 options. onboard adn PCI | 05:25 |
| jrib | pipehh: when you right click on your panel, select "add new panel" | 05:25 |
| nickrud | nano__: if you're looking for the headers, you need to install build-essential (and I missed it earlier, no nick and too many convo's ) | 05:25 |
| agreenmac | spdf: should i choose onboard or PCI?? | 05:25 |
| meusterus | Hello. | 05:25 |
| spdf | agreenmac, PCI | 05:25 |
| nano__ | nickrud: thnx | 05:25 |
| agreenmac | spdf: ok thats what was chosen in the first place | 05:26 |
| meusterus | I need to know where the sudoers file is. | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | meusterus: /etc/sudoers | 05:26 |
| Hajuu | how can I tell which network card is eth0 and which is eth1? | 05:26 |
| meusterus | And how do I edit it from command prompt? | 05:26 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Does anyone know how to get USB Audio sound to work? What's weird is that I can get sound through my speakers and when I went into KDE earlier today I would get the intro sound from kubuntu and a few other sounds kubuntu did to go through my USB Audio. | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | StaticVector: although adding a user to the admin group also works | 05:26 |
| agreenmac | spdf: anything else i need to check while im in here? | 05:26 |
| Clueless | does anyone know how to install songbird? | 05:26 |
| jrib | meusterus: note that you should always edit it using the "visudo" command | 05:26 |
| rvalles | I'm giving a computer to my sis with ubuntu preinstalled... trouble is, gnome allows to suspend and hibernate. Suspend is fine, but hibernate crashes on resume; any way to disable hibernate entirelly? | 05:26 |
| farruinn | Hajuu: mac address? | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | StaticVector: whoops | 05:26 |
| meusterus | Ah. | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | meusterus: although adding a user to the admin group also works | 05:26 |
| Hajuu | But I dont know which card has which address heh | 05:26 |
| farruinn | Hajuu: or, plug one in, see if it connects? :) | 05:26 |
| Hajuu | ive got two | 05:26 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: alsa is comples and over my head, I wasn't ignoring you :) | 05:26 |
| nano__ | nickrud: actually i don't think i need build-essential for headers........i would need libc6-dev | 05:26 |
| farruinn | Hajuu: the mac should be printed on it | 05:27 |
| Hajuu | and for some reason each one only works if the other is in | 05:27 |
| pipehh | I say not as aceder the root folder with a command but a panel firefox | 05:27 |
| spdf | agreenmac, I see a post on ubuntuforums from Dec with someone having the same problem with the Mx4000 | 05:27 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: heh yea you did mention USB Audio stuff was a pain to troubleshoot, just thought that was weird. | 05:27 |
| zriyac | hello again... | 05:27 |
| nickrud | nano__: if you want the headers, you want a compiler and probably make as well. build-essential will get you the headers and a basic compiling environment | 05:27 |
| zriyac | sudo rmmod 8139too | 05:27 |
| zriyac | sudo rmmod 8139cp | 05:27 |
| zriyac | sudo modprobe 8139cp | 05:27 |
| meusterus | Starnestommy: I guess you're being helpful to me specifically, so.....is it possible to install and run GNOME on server edition? | 05:27 |
| zriyac | sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 05:27 |
| jrib | pipehh: you need to rephrase what you want to do, because I am not sure what you mean | 05:27 |
| zriyac | eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 05:27 |
| jrib | !enter | zriyac | 05:27 |
| ubotu | zriyac: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 05:27 |
| Starnestommy | meusterus: the package is either gnome-desktop or ubuntu-desktop | 05:28 |
| zriyac | well... earlier i pasted them all together... | 05:28 |
| zriyac | and i was disconnected | 05:28 |
| Clueless | can someone help me install songbird? | 05:28 |
| spdf | agreenmac, You could try enabling the onboard, and attaching your monitor to that and booting. It appears there's a driver issue that might be resolved after you do a full install | 05:28 |
| Elevator_Hazard | zriyac: pastebin..? | 05:28 |
| jrib | zriyac: use a pastebin if you need to paste something | 05:28 |
| meusterus | Starnestommy I installed package gnome and it was about 100 mb, will it automatically enter a desktop environment when I restart then? | 05:29 |
| pipehh | 05:29 | |
| pipehh | Mhh .. Not already found xD | 05:29 |
| Elevator_Hazard | !pastebin | zriyac | 05:29 |
| ubotu | zriyac: 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) | 05:29 |
| penol | how to get mic work with ventrilo via wine? | 05:29 |
| Starnestommy | meusterus: it starts gdm on startup | 05:29 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Clueless: you can install the songbird deb file by downloading it from www.getdeb.net | 05:29 |
| agreenmac | spdf: whats enabling the onboard? (sorry for the noobines) | 05:29 |
| zriyac | pastebin... it is something that all IRC clients implement? | 05:29 |
| meusterus | Starnestommy: OK thanks you've been a lot of help. | 05:29 |
| zriyac | i'm in windows now... | 05:29 |
| zriyac | i use MIRC | 05:29 |
| agreenmac | spdf: oh is it in the video config? | 05:29 |
| Elevator_Hazard | zriyac its a website. | 05:29 |
| spdf | agreenmac, changing from PCI to Onboard, and plugging your monitor cable into the other port | 05:30 |
| jrib | zriyac: see what ubotu just said | 05:30 |
| spdf | agreenmac, then check uot http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84298 | 05:30 |
| spdf | agreenmac, mind you, those instructions are for edgy. I'll see if I can find something for feisty | 05:30 |
| nickrud | zriyac: you should probably also install xchat , anything addressed to you will be in red so you don't miss it | 05:30 |

| viator | why do they make evince the viewer but ut cant edit lol | 05:32 |
| BoltClock | or should i ask this in an OOo support place instead? | 05:33 |
| jeffMASTERflex | viator: pdf files are made specifically not to be edited | 05:33 |
| spdf | agreenmac, It should boot fine. It appears that MX4000 requires legacy drivers, and is a bit of a chore to get working | 05:33 |
| Starnestommy | BoltClock: oo.o and some other programs have trouble with directories being renamed while they're running since no signals are sent saying they've moved or where they've moved | 05:33 |
| jeffMASTERflex | viator: it is a publishing format, not an editing format | 05:33 |

| tritium | EcoBlue: this is a channel for ubuntu | 05:51 |
| zriyac | i'll try | 05:51 |
| zriyac | 10x | 05:51 |
| zcat[1] | meusterus: if you still have the cd as a source it will get a lot of that from the cd | 05:51 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: and I'm asking for your opinions on ubuntu as compared to fedora | 05:52 |
| Junkee | Hello, somehow metacity is not loading at gnome start, is there someway to get it to load? | 05:52 |
| meusterus | zcat[1]: Am doing, hope it won't get too much through the internet. | 05:52 |
| zcat[1] | errr.. if you have the alt CD as a source I guess.. | 05:52 |
| spdf | zriyac, you may need to compile the module for that card | 05:52 |
| EcoBlue | I like ubuntu, but I wouldn't want to install on my desktop due to lack of being a dvd | 05:52 |
| bahman | Do you know how could I creat password for archive tar or zip files?! | 05:52 |
| viator | do an lspci and see what it has listed for your network card | 05:52 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: ubuntu comes on a single install CD | 05:53 |
| jeffMASTERflex | EcoBlue: ubuntu install disc is a cd | 05:53 |
| zcat[1] | EcoBlue: huh? it's not a DVD, it's an OS! | 05:53 |
| Roky | I see the file in medibuntu.com how do I get it? | 05:53 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: but you can get a DVD | 05:53 |
| Starnestommy | bahman: tar/gzip/bzip2 don't support passwords | 05:53 |
| bahman | EcoBlue: creat a CD instead! | 05:53 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Roky: did you follow the repo instructions in the link i sent you? | 05:53 |
| EcoBlue | DVD contains more, so CD's are bad | 05:53 |
| bahman | Starnestommy: But what about zip files?! | 05:53 |
| EcoBlue | zcat[1]: I know it's an OS, it's not contained on a DVD so it's worse | 05:54 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: so get the DVD | 05:54 |
| Roky | yes but the lnk on the page wont open | 05:54 |
| viator | ad medibunto to your sources list | 05:54 |
| Starnestommy | bahman: I don't use zip, so I wouldn't know, but I think they might | 05:54 |
| bahman | EcoBlue: I agree ;) | 05:54 |
| Starnestommy | s/they/it/ | 05:54 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: where? do I have to order it? | 05:54 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Roky: scroll down to where it says "adding the repositories" | 05:54 |
| EcoBlue | bahman: although it is a livecd and installs way faster | 05:54 |
| zcat[1] | EcoBlue: I don't think there's that much more on the C\DVD .. mostly server and alt installs. I don't think it actually installs any other packages from DVD by default. | 05:54 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: CDs aren't bad. More users, parcticularly with older hardware, have access to CDs and not DVDs. | 05:54 |
| bahman | How could I creat password for archive zip files?! | 05:55 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: well then linux users should get with the program | 05:55 |
| jeffMASTERflex | ecotroll? | 05:55 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: we support everyone, not just those with DVD drives | 05:55 |
| EcoBlue | jeffMASTERflex: environmental troll? | 05:56 |
| zcat[1] | I can't figure if eco is arguing for or against DVD distros ... Ubuntu has both, either way we win! | 05:56 |
| trollboy | I've an analog volume control on my keyboard, when I turn it, ubuntu detects it and shows a volume meter going up and down, however, its not my actual volume adjusting... how doi tie this in to my actual volume control? | 05:56 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: please stay on topic. | 05:56 |
| lazy247x | need help with network-admin for wifi?? | 05:56 |
| jeffMASTERflex | there is no "winning" it's an os | 05:56 |
| jrib | bahman: 'man zip' probably explains (search for password using /password<ENTER>). But you could just use gpg to encrypt whatever file you want including a tar | 05:56 |
| jrib | !gpgp > bahman (read the private message from ubotu) | 05:56 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: Is 64bit even decent | 05:56 |
| Ironman1 | slap you a bia | 05:57 |
| EcoBlue | I've stayed a safe distance away from 64bit, had a few too many bad experiences | 05:57 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: if you want the DVD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/ubuntu-7.10-dvd-i386.iso | 05:57 |
| Roky | ahh thanks jeff | 05:57 |
| Starnestommy | the only problem I have with the 64-bit version is IcedTea, a Java implementation, keeps segfaulting | 05:57 |
| Junkee | Hello, somehow metacity is not loading at gnome start, is there someway to get it to load? | 05:58 |
| lazy247x | need help with network-admin for wifi?? | 05:58 |

| tritium | EcoBlue: did you see the URL for the DVD? | 05:58 |
| smitherss | has anyone else had their gnome do extensions stop working? | 05:59 |
| zcat[1] | EcoBlue: 64bit is fine until you want to use non-free stuff like flash or w32codecs .. then it can get a bit complex. This is not as bad as it used to be but I still run 32bit on 64bit cpu's | 05:59 |
| tritium | zcat[1]: there are w64codecs, however | 05:59 |
| jrib | tritium: not for everything though (just compare the package size) | 06:00 |
| jeffMASTERflex | 64 bit is a pain to use and only worthwhile for system with 4+ GBs of RAM | 06:00 |
| Starnestommy | w32codecs and flash work fine for me, it's just java applets that aren't working. Java-based programs like Eclipse work fine, though, so I think it's a plugin problem | 06:00 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: ye | 06:00 |
| Junkee | Starnestommy: i am going to try adding it to my sessions as a startup program, maybe that will help, im going to reboot to see for sure | 06:00 |
| === [1]rootkit is now known as rootkit | ||
| EcoBlue | another question, is ubuntu as good at sharing files as windows | 06:00 |
| zcat[1] | tritium: yeah, and wrappers to run 32bit code on a 64bit system.. it's getting to the point where it's _almost_ as easy as pure 32-bit .. but not quite there I think, yet.. | 06:00 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: it supports more protocols than windows does. | 06:00 |
| lazy247x | can get my network to default on boot-up | 06:00 |
| lazy247x | can't get my network to default on boot-up | 06:00 |
| tritium | zcat[1]: I agree, it's not there yet | 06:00 |
| Roky | jeff, I found and installed it but it still didn't work | 06:01 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: on windows I can right click share and know that it will work perfect | 06:01 |
| Roky | I added the repo and got it but same error | 06:01 |
| Starnestommy | lazy247x: you might need to manually edit /etc/network/interfaces as root | 06:01 |
| lazy247x | ok -- i think i tryed that -- let me check | 06:01 |
| zcat[1] | EcoBlue: on linux I can right-click 'share' and it will go ahead and install samba for me, and then share it.. | 06:01 |
| makers_mark | would you recommend ubuntu 64 or x86 on a c2d machine? | 06:01 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: do you have a question? | 06:02 |
| jrib | makers_mark: 32bit unless you know exactly why you need 64bit | 06:02 |
| EcoBlue | zcat[1]: will it work with Windows? | 06:02 |
| EcoBlue | tritium: I've been asking them | 06:02 |
| tritium | EcoBlue: and I answered them. | 06:02 |
| Junkee | woohoo that worked | 06:02 |
| bahman | Thanks jrib ;) | 06:02 |
| Junkee | metacity loaded this time | 06:02 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Roky: i don't know what to tell you. libdvdcss2 is the library that decodes dvd movies. i play dvd's all the time thanks to it. try also installing libdvdnav and libdvdread | 06:02 |
| makers_mark | jrib so the 64 won't work more efficiently on a c2d? | 06:02 |

| akorn | spdf yea probably; i already found it crazy enough that the volume dial on mine works too hah | 06:04 |
| zcat[1] | EcoBlue: I've used samba with windows clients before. it's not that hard. | 06:04 |
| spdf | akorn, the ones that dont work might have some weird scan codes | 06:04 |

| tumbleweed__ | indeed | 06:27 |
| Moniker42 | tumbleweed__, maybe he should've used every singe .deb he could lay his hands on from the web while he was at it | 06:27 |
| brambo | if someone can help me install 1 program i can get others myself | 06:27 |

| jwd | what program brambo | 06:28 |
| brambo | www.rigsofrods.com | 06:28 |
| brambo | i believe is the site | 06:28 |
| brambo | it is for linux | 06:28 |
| Starnestommy | they should have installation instructions there | 06:28 |
| mirdin76 | i'm in nvidia driver hell | 06:28 |
| badkitty | lol | 06:28 |
| badkitty | nvidia has a driver hell? | 06:29 |
| brambo | http://repository.rigsofrods.com/ | 06:29 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: more like a purgatory | 06:29 |
| jwd | brambo: it runs on both linux and windoze | 06:29 |
| brambo | yeah | 06:29 |
| Moniker42 | jeffMASTERflex, i get the same error | 06:29 |
| doseryder | Totem/w32codecs issue: It is REALLY STRANGE that I can't get totem to play real media files after following instructions from http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ *** I have been using this EXACT METHOD from the EXACT website (aforementioned) many times and it worked until i tried it today. No video, just sound | 06:29 |
| brambo | i wanna run it on linux | 06:29 |
| mirdin76 | i can't go forward and I can't go back | 06:29 |
| spdf | brambo, you need to download their linux package | 06:29 |
| brambo | i have it | 06:29 |
| misslecommander | i have nvidia 3k support installed, yes it was hell at first, but then it got easier | 06:29 |
| spdf | brambo, open it up | 06:29 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: hmmm what ubuntu | 06:29 |
| misslecommander | 3d | 06:30 |
| brambo | okay | 06:30 |
| brambo | 1 sec | 06:30 |
| brambo | i will | 06:30 |
| mirdin76 | xubuntu gutsy | 06:30 |
| spdf | brambo, There'll probably be one directory listed, just drag that to your desktop | 06:30 |
| meusterus | What does it mean, "Errors were encountered while processing: acpis, acpi-support, powermanagement-interface, ubuntu-desktop | 06:30 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Moniker42: usually the mods here have that link that lets you automatically generate a new sources.lst file. i forget the link. hopefully someone in here knows it | 06:30 |
| Moniker42 | !sources | 06:30 |
| ubotu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource | 06:30 |
| brambo | its reading the archibe | 06:30 |
| brambo | archibve | 06:30 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: hmm drivers should be same across board... what vard do you have | 06:30 |
| brambo | ok | 06:30 |
| Moniker42 | jeffMASTERflex, i'll go play around with ubotu in pm... | 06:30 |
| brambo | slide it to my desktop? | 06:30 |
| jeffMASTERflex | !EasySource | 06:30 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about easysource - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:30 |
| spdf | brambo, yep | 06:30 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: I have geforce 7800 from nvidia-hell | 06:31 |
| cyzie | how do i reprobe all the hardware in the sysmtem ? | 06:31 |
| misslecommander | jeffMASTERflex: what is that file for ? | 06:31 |
| Moniker42 | jeffMASTERflex, heh... apparently he has a short memory ;) | 06:31 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Nvidia cards are top notch ati can suck it IMO | 06:31 |
| computer13137 | Hello | 06:31 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Moniker42: dumb bots | 06:31 |
| misslecommander | please dont give him the ubotu link for the nvidia driver, that is of no help to new people | 06:32 |
| brambo | ok its extracting the files from the archive | 06:32 |
| computer13137 | I am in need of some assistance with my Ubuntu system. I'm not a noob to Ubuntu's general stuff, but I haven't had much experience with what I'm trying to do. | 06:32 |
| spdf | brambo, okay | 06:32 |
| misslecommander | if anything it makes things more complicated than they have to be | 06:32 |
| computer13137 | I added a new network card, and it's not showing up in /etc/network/interfaces... I assume I need to install a driver. After I compile the driver, what should I do? | 06:32 |
| brambo | btw, it is RoR-0.33d-linux.tar.bz2 if that helps | 06:32 |
| spdf | brambo, yep, I saw that on their site | 06:32 |
| brambo | ok | 06:32 |
| brambo | its there | 06:33 |
| computer13137 | If I add a network card it's seen before and does not require an added driver, will it add it as eth1 automatically? | 06:33 |
| badkitty | brambo: You really want to play that biog rig game? lol | 06:33 |
| brambo | on desktop in a folder | 06:33 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: i don't want to complain but if this is top notch then.. well anyway | 06:33 |
| bahman | Really thank jeffMASTERflex PDF editor working good, but its in KDF interface | 06:33 |
| spdf | brambo, okay, one sec | 06:33 |
| brambo | i just wanna know how to install that so i can know how to install other things | 06:33 |
| misslecommander | computer13137: did it work before, not just seen ? | 06:33 |
| === doseryder is now known as TO_Felony | ||
| tritium | mirdin76: what's the problem> | 06:33 |
| brambo | if i can get that i should be able to install other programs too | 06:33 |
| spdf | brambo, this isn't typical of how to install software on ubuntu | 06:33 |
| computer13137 | I *just* added it. :P | 06:33 |
| meusterus | What does it mean, "Errors were encountered while processing: acpis, acpi-support, powermanagement-interface, ubuntu-desktop | 06:33 |
| Starnestommy | brambo: there's probably a script named "configure" in it | 06:33 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Ok so when you installed xubuntu, did it give you an option to download the restricted graphics drivers? | 06:33 |
| TO_Felony | http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ | 06:33 |
| fatedkiss | Im new to linux and cant get this command line to work: sudo cp ~/downloads/alsa*. i get the following msg icp: missing destination file operand after `/home/fatedkiss/downloads/alsa*.'n term: | 06:33 |
| computer13137 | It's an Encore ENL832-TX-Rent | 06:33 |
| misslecommander | if it worked once, it should work again | 06:33 |
| bahman | Could you know to change the inteface of KDE programs to Gnome?! | 06:34 |
| Starnestommy | meusterus: it couldn't install due to some sort of error | 06:34 |
| bullgard4 | aRyn: Neither on my Ubuntu 7.10 computers bootlogd is automatically installed. This is also a problem for me which I have not solved. (It was installed in earlier Ubuntu releases. I guess this problem is caused by the introduction of Ubuntu's Upstart." | 06:34 |
| computer13137 | I never installed it until a few minutes ago missilecommander. | 06:34 |
| TO_Felony | Totem/w32codecs issue: It is REALLY STRANGE that I can't get totem to play real media files after following instructions from http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ *** I have been using this EXACT METHOD from the EXACT website (aforementioned) many times and it worked until i tried it today. No video, just sound | 06:34 |
| brandon | what else should I try? | 06:34 |
| jeffMASTERflex | fatedkiss: cp is a copy command, you listed where you want to copy from, but not where you want to copy to | 06:34 |
| spdf | brambo, most applications are installed using apt | 06:34 |
| computer13137 | If it's in there when I install linux...will it be recognized? | 06:34 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: the problem is that the restricted driver in the repo is not the latest AND it has a known bug which just only causes any video I play to look as green and garbled as oscar the grouchs fur | 06:34 |
| bahman | Do you know how to change the inteface of KDE programs to Gnome?! | 06:34 |
| Moniker42 | jeffMASTERflex, i just filed it as a bug on launchpad ;) | 06:34 |
| brambo | through Terminal window? | 06:34 |
| fatedkiss | jeffMASTERflex: thank you | 06:34 |
| jeffMASTERflex | fatedkiss: its like this "sudo cp what_I_want_to_copy where_I_want_to_copy_to | 06:34 |
| Moniker42 | should be a quick fix + mark resolved matter | 06:35 |
| Starnestommy | bahman: it's either immposible or very hard because KDE uses Qt widgets, while Gnome uses GTK | 06:35 |
| cyzie | how do i reprobe all the hardware in the sysmtem ? | 06:35 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Interesting I was unaware of this, can you download the latest driver elsewhere? | 06:35 |
| rockets | Anybody know what happened to the source-o-matic/ | 06:35 |
| rockets | ? | 06:35 |
| badkitty | rockets: Automatix??? | 06:35 |
| Starnestommy | automatix isn't recommended | 06:35 |
| brambo | spdf ? | 06:35 |
| elkbuntu | !source-o-matic | 06:35 |
| ubotu | source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 06:36 |
| joeKr | Is there a utility for easy (one-click?) "internet connection sharing" in simple situations, as in Win XP? (7.10/Gutsy) | 06:36 |
| badkitty | ahhhh | 06:36 |
| badkitty | Yes I dont recommend Automatix either | 06:36 |
| bahman | thanks Starnestommy but I don't like the blue and open in one-click folders in KDE! | 06:36 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: all my problems would be solved if only they would put the newer driver in the repo - yeah from nvidia, driver 169.07, with instructions - which gives me some bizzarro error having to do with kernal configuration | 06:36 |
| brambo | can anyone help to me install this one program? | 06:37 |
| Starnestommy | brambo: in the directory where you extracted it, is there a file called "configure"? | 06:37 |
| spdf | brambo, go into the directory and run RoRConfig | 06:37 |
| Madpilot | There's a difference between source-o-matic & Automatix. The first is a good tool, the second a great way to break your Ubuntu. | 06:37 |
| brambo | Run in Terminal ? | 06:37 |
| brandon | what format should audio files be in? mine are in mp3, could that be the problem? | 06:38 |
| spdf | brambo, if you'd like | 06:38 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Are you sure the problem is the driver and not say ... codecs? | 06:38 |
| df20fs | anyone willing to tackle a vmware question? | 06:38 |
| df20fs | workstation specifically. | 06:38 |
| badkitty | df20fs: what u got | 06:38 |
| jeffMASTERflex | mirdin76: brandon mp3, ogg, flac, aac, they are all good | 06:38 |
| df20fs | slapped in a wifi card; ath0 and tried bridging it to vmnet2 and i get.... | 06:38 |
| brambo | RoRConfig | 06:39 |
| brandon | ok, cause i hear nothing when playing my music | 06:39 |
| brambo | but it doesnt do anything | 06:39 |
| df20fs | Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0 done Host network detection done Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet2 failed | 06:39 |
| tumbleweed__ | no | 06:39 |
| tumbleweed__ | mp3 is bad | 06:39 |
| tumbleweed__ | :) | 06:39 |
| df20fs | when running vmware-config | 06:39 |
| tumbleweed__ | for encoding, anyways | 06:39 |
| jeffMASTERflex | brandon: install the package "ubuntu-restricted-extrs" | 06:39 |
| Starnestommy | brambo: cd to the directory and to ./RoRConfig? | 06:39 |
| jeffMASTERflex | extras* | 06:39 |
| brambo | no, from archive to my desktop in a folder | 06:39 |
| brandon | where can I get that? | 06:39 |
| ethan961 | ogg is good | 06:39 |
| badkitty | df20fs: That I dont know :-( | 06:39 |
| df20fs | futher into it | 06:40 |
| df20fs | /usr/bin$ sudo ./vmnet-bridge -D /dev/vmnet2 ath0 | 06:40 |
| df20fs | Turning on bridge to ath0... | 06:40 |
| df20fs | ath0: Not a valid Ethernet interface | 06:40 |
| ethan961 | I mean egg | 06:40 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: pretty sure there's a bug with 169.04 nvidia that causes this. jeffMASTERflex, hmm, aren't those all music? yeah those are ok, it's mpeg2 that go weird | 06:40 |
| df20fs | hm, thx anyways. | 06:40 |
| tomd | df20fs: uh | 06:40 |
| jeffMASTERflex | brandon: in the command line type "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" | 06:40 |
| TO_Felony | aforementioned | 06:40 |
| tomd | df20fs: it doens't work with the atheros drivers | 06:40 |
| TO_Felony | Totem/w32codecs issue: It is REALLY STRANGE that I can't get totem to play real media files after following instructions from http://www.bgevolution.com/blog/index.php/ubuntu-gutsy-w32codecs-and-w64codecs/ *** I have been using this EXACT METHOD from the EXACT website (aforementioned) many times and it worked until i tried it today. No video, just sound | 06:40 |
| tomd | df20fs: you can A. edit the source of the athreros drivers (not recommended) | 06:40 |
| tomd | df20fs: or B. use nat. | 06:40 |
| spdf | brambo, Don't bother with the terminal, just open up the folder you put on your desktop and click RoRConfig | 06:40 |
| df20fs | shitbeans. | 06:40 |
| tomd | I messed with the drivers before and got it to work. | 06:40 |
| brambo | I did click the RoR config it don't seem to do anything | 06:41 |
| df20fs | hmm.. | 06:41 |
| spdf | brambo, Like I said, this isn't how you "install" software on Ubuntu. | 06:41 |
| df20fs | i'm usting patched madwifing's though. | 06:41 |
| spdf | brambo, Try RoRConfig.bin | 06:41 |
| tomd | df20fs: why is NAT not an option for you? | 06:41 |
| mirdin76 | when I try to follow instructions for installing newest nvidia driver i get something about "nvidia.ko" and kernal - don't think I want to mess with that | 06:41 |
| khaotik | i cant get my webcam working | 06:41 |
| brandon | its downloading | 06:41 |
| df20fs | easier. | 06:41 |
| brambo | still nothing opened | 06:42 |
| df20fs | just surprising why it doesn't work. | 06:42 |
| df20fs | or still not worked into the code. | 06:42 |
| spdf | brambo, then I'm not sure what to tell you, I'm not familiar with that game to be honest | 06:42 |
| jeffMASTERflex | brandon: after it downloads and installs you should be able to play mp3 without any issues | 06:42 |
| brambo | can u give me some other simple application i can try | 06:42 |
| tomd | df20fs: well, I think that its common for vmware bridged networking to not work with wifi cards. | 06:42 |
| brandon | ok, and one more Q | 06:42 |
| tomd | at least on linux | 06:42 |
| brambo | if they all bascially work the same | 06:43 |
| spdf | brambo, from a terminal... "sudo apt-get install neverball" | 06:43 |
| tomd | I'll see if I can find the "patch" | 06:43 |
| jeffMASTERflex | brambo: go to add/remove programs and install whatever you want from there | 06:43 |
| brandon | it says I dont have a network connection, but i can connect to the internet. | 06:43 |
| badkitty | how do I tell whcih version of driver I have for gfx ard? | 06:43 |
| brandon | whats up with that? | 06:43 |
| spdf | brandon, apt can't connect? | 06:43 |
| zephyr | just got a clean install of gutsy up last night - excellent work guys | 06:44 |
| df20fs | must be a linux thing. i'm using openbsd for wireless bridges for my lan to extend its reach | 06:44 |
| computer13137 | I have a problem! When I run "ismod" it says command not found.. :S | 06:44 |
| brandon | apt? | 06:44 |
| computer13137 | What do I do? | 06:44 |
| brambo | thats working i believe | 06:44 |
| Starnestommy | it's lsmod | 06:44 |
| Starnestommy | with an L | 06:44 |
| computer13137 | (fucking readme.txt file...) | 06:44 |
| computer13137 | lol thanks O_O | 06:44 |
| Moniker42 | !ohmy > computer13137 | 06:44 |
| tomd | hmm. I have no idea where I found the site that told me the variables to change | 06:44 |
| computer13137 | lol | 06:44 |
| computer13137 | Sorry :P | 06:44 |
| tomd | df20fs: all I had to do to get it to work on linux, was change the value of a few constants | 06:45 |
| matthew | buenas.. | 06:45 |
| tomd | df20fs: I forget where I read how to do it tohugh | 06:45 |
| spdf | brambo, you should have "Neverball" in your games menu when that is done | 06:45 |
| jeffMASTERflex | brandon: apt is the packaging system ubuntu uses to install programs. | 06:45 |
| mirdin76 | it's not even that I care about compiz, but the video, that's important. eh, anyway, I'll figure it out. even worse is that mythtv bug i still have where it records one channel above what I set - off topic i know | 06:45 |
| brandon | oh... | 06:45 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: You know how to check which driver is in use? I have a 7300 GT working perfectly | 06:45 |
| spdf | brandon, wasn't sure what wasnt connecting | 06:45 |
| brandon | i still cant hear anything | 06:45 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: ALso you did a fresh install of gutsy or upgrade? | 06:45 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: fresh | 06:46 |
| jeffMASTERflex | brandon: then the problem is sound related, not codec related | 06:46 |
| mirdin76 | um, which driver, letsee that was like gfinfo or something i forget | 06:46 |
| brandon | i dont know, the internet wouldnt work for a while, and I could only see ubuntu's site for a while, but now i can go to other sites | 06:46 |
| spdf | brandon, does anything happen if you "sudo cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp" from terminal? | 06:46 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Compiz for me was soo easy to setup.. any reason xubuntu over ubuntu? | 06:46 |
| === u^A is now known as u^A_ | ||
| mirdin76 | yeah, I already had the CD : ) | 06:47 |
| mirdin76 | you saying it's the xfce? | 06:47 |
| jamman105 | has anybody gotten their gateway laptop to work with the gutsy live cd? mine stalls somewhere around loading up a harddrive or something or other | 06:47 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Haha, yeah that will do it... Umm, I'm not saying that, it is just a possibility that's all | 06:47 |
| brandon | no, it just asked for my password, then nothing after i typed it | 06:48 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty could be, or it could be that 7300 doesn't have the bug and 7800 does | 06:48 |
| spdf | brandon, can you do lspci again, and copy/paste that to a pastebin? | 06:48 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Plus Im thinking the repositories may be different? | 06:48 |
| Starnestommy | ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu use the same repositories | 06:48 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: oh really?? which nvidia driver do you have? oh you were asking hold on let me look how | 06:48 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Well as far as I know the drivers for all nvidia cards are the same, each card just uses them differently according to their specs | 06:49 |
| computer13137 | OK, so I got the driver for my network card. I ran make, and I'm not sure how to proceed. How do I tell the system to look for the driver? The readme.txt says to run "lsmod 8139too" but when I do that it gives me a message about "Usage: lsmod" | 06:49 |
| meusterus | How would I go about setting up an nVidia GeForce FX 5500 graphics card? I don't seem to have better than VESA graphics. | 06:49 |
| Starnestommy | computer13137: use sudo modprobe instead of lsmod | 06:49 |
| df20fs | hahahaha | 06:49 |
| meusterus | jamman105: I am running a gateway CX2726 and it worked just fine with the live cd. | 06:49 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: yeah yeah, it's probably that then. I guess I got unlucky - or should have researched better | 06:49 |
| computer13137 | Starnestommy: Command run, it just went to the next line...did it do something? | 06:50 |
| df20fs | vmware-config and i go to start it, says i need to run config | 06:50 |
| df20fs | i run config, then and start it, says i still need to run config. | 06:50 |
| df20fs | now what? | 06:50 |
| jeffMASTERflex | meusterus: use the the restricted driver manager to install the appopriate driver | 06:50 |
| jamman105 | meusterus, what year is it? like, manufactured? | 06:50 |
| [47] | Hello people | 06:50 |
| Starnestommy | computer13137: it should've loaded the module | 06:50 |
| mirdin76 | meusterus: try restricted drivers manager | 06:50 |

| computer13137 | Starnestommy, so how do I get it to "use it" now? Just add stuff to /etc/network/interfaces and start talking about an eth1? :P | 06:51 |
| [47] | i need some help with installing programs, it's telling me "The ist of applications is not available" | 06:51 |

| mirdin76 | badkitty: hah! noo, low on patience, but seriously I think this might be the driver/card in which case I dunno, seems like it could be the same in U as XU | 06:52 |
| brandon | so just click send? | 06:53 |
| spdf | brandon, yep, then cut/paste the url it gives you into the channel | 06:53 |
| mirdin76 | badkitty: any idea how often the repos are updated with restricted drivers? I've heard conflicting things | 06:53 |
| brandon | http://pastebin.com/m9aa80c4 | 06:53 |
| SwampDonkey | i need some help with installing programs, it's telling me "The ist of applications is not available". sorry for pasting again, i was trying to find a nick that wasnt taken | 06:54 |
| brandon | hope that wrks | 06:54 |
| computer13137 | OK.. eth0=192.168.1.5 eth1=192.168.1.6. I unplugged the cable from eth0. I told it to ping 192.168.1.6. It now says "From 192.168.1.5 Destination Host Unreachable". What'd I do wrong? | 06:54 |
| bahman | Could you suggest me a good RSS offline reader in Ubuntu?! I wanna to download big blogs which had over 1000 posts! | 06:54 |

| brambo | what can i use | 06:56 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: I wouldn't think they would ONLY update their repo's during the dist cycle... I would think if there was an issue and a better driver came out they would upgrade, if there is a new driver try to find another repo that has it | 06:57 |

| brambo | sudo: apt-install: command not found | 07:01 |
| badkitty | mirdin76: Everything that they have options for, which is strictly what ubuntu group decided they want, there are thousands if not millions of third party repositories that wont be on the list to check off that you have to add manually | 07:01 |
| df20fs | i can tell grep to print lines with http, but, also print only the link and nothing else to screen? | 07:01 |

| badkitty | marx2k_: Go to your router setup | 07:29 |
| Starnestommy | if there is no router, it should be open | 07:29 |
| badkitty | marx2k_: Or do you mean on a local firewall? | 07:29 |
| marx2k_ | badkitty: we're talking internally | 07:29 |
| marx2k_ | locally | 07:30 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: router ? | 07:30 |
| marx2k_ | no, internal lan | 07:30 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, well, it should be open then | 07:30 |
| spdf | brandon, okay, go ahead and try that line I gave you from before | 07:30 |
| brambo | Package Installer - ymessenger Status: Error: Wrong architecture 'i386' | 07:30 |
| marx2k_ | Im trying to open port 3306 so another machine on my lan can see it | 07:30 |
| brandon | ok | 07:30 |
| badkitty | marx2k_: Right but at the router level, or jsut on the pc | 07:30 |
| marx2k_ | just on the pc | 07:30 |
| Starnestommy | brambo: are you on amd64? | 07:30 |
| brambo | sempron 63bit | 07:30 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, do you have iptables or some other firewall? | 07:30 |
| brambo | 64* | 07:30 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: you need a "listener" or server running that is listenign for connections on that port | 07:30 |
| marx2k_ | I can do 'telnet 127.0.0.1 3306' with no problem, but I cant telnet to it from another machine on my lan | 07:30 |
| marx2k_ | jamman105: nope | 07:30 |
| adrenergic | hey anyone knows ... spdf do you know how can i generate vhosts for my system & use them | 07:30 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: mysql is running on port 3306 and listening forconnections | 07:31 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, whats the service for that port? | 07:31 |
| marx2k_ | tcp mysql | 07:31 |
| Starnestommy | marx2k_: do the other computers allow outgoing connections to 3306? | 07:31 |
| marx2k_ | yeah I dont think any outgoing connections are blocked | 07:31 |
| brambo | sempron 64bit qualifies as amd64 right? | 07:31 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: firewall or client/server misconfigured | 07:31 |
| jlulian38 | I've gotten nVidia drivers working finally, but apparently OpenGL still isn't supported? D= | 07:31 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: I have no firewall running | 07:32 |

| === asdasdsa is now known as terrorist | ||

| === terrorist is now known as terrrorist | ||
| misslecommander | marx2k: you said you can telnet in from the client ? | 07:32 |
| brambo | acually im just trying to install anything | 07:32 |
| marx2k_ | jamman: as in OS or what | 07:32 |
| brambo | so i can get the hang of it | 07:32 |
| Starnestommy | brambo: have you tried using pidgin? | 07:32 |
| brambo | to install many more apps | 07:32 |
| terrrorist | hello my lcd is giving me dark picture when video plays. it was good on etime that's how i knew i couldn't see anything before. how can i get it work bright? thank you :f | 07:32 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: I can telnet to localhost at that port | 07:32 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, yes. | 07:32 |
| marx2k_ | jamman105: gutsy | 07:32 |
| brambo | yeah i have that but i also want to be able to install more applications and games | 07:32 |
| brambo | that are for linux | 07:32 |
| brambo | i just dunno how | 07:32 |
| badkitty | jlulian38: OpenGL is supported to my knowledge... hence GLXGEARS? | 07:32 |
| adrenergic | Starnestommy, how can i make my desired vhosts for my system and use them on IRC, etc... does it need some packages | 07:32 |
| brandon | not yet | 07:33 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: what machine you telnet from client or serverside ? | 07:33 |
| misslecommander | 127 local | 07:33 |
| marx2k_ | missle: Im telnetting from client to server | 07:33 |
| jlulian38 | GLXGEARS? | 07:33 |
| Starnestommy | adrenergic: you have to bind the programs to the IP used for the vhost | 07:33 |
| brambo | AMD Sempron 2800+ 64bit is ok for this AMD64 OS right? | 07:33 |
| Starnestommy | yes | 07:33 |
| jamman105 | brambo, yes | 07:33 |
| adrenergic | but it's working right? brandon | 07:33 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: if you are on the client telnet 127, thats local host | 07:33 |
| badkitty | jlulian38: TO my knowledge it is a test to see if OpenGl direct rendering is enabled and working (though not a benchmark) | 07:34 |
| adrenergic | how can i bind ips... i have just one ip :( Starnestommy | 07:34 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: yes.. lets say I am trying to telnet to 192.168.11.7 port 3306 and its not working | 07:34 |
| Relaed | Any one using FAMA for MSN messenger ? | 07:34 |
| brandon | yea, a blue box came up and it has like terms and conditions | 07:34 |
| brandon | and at the bottom says "ok" | 07:34 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: that is more like what you have to do, 192.168... | 07:34 |
| brandon | but I cannot click it | 07:34 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: yep. and it's refusing connections | 07:34 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: sorry i dont know sql all that much , so i am limited on info | 07:34 |
| adrenergic | select the checkbox for agreement , if any brandon | 07:34 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, try looking in the /etc/mysql/conf | 07:35 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: i do know 127 is local, that wont get you far | 07:35 |
| marx2k_ | heh... this has little to do with the sql aspect.. it's just a server sitting there listening for connections | 07:35 |
| jamman105 | or something like that | 07:35 |
| marx2k_ | jamman105: it's open in there | 07:35 |
| marx2k_ | it's bound to 127.0.0.1 though | 07:35 |
| marx2k_ | Im not sure what else to bind it to | 07:35 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: 127 wont get you far | 07:35 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, ok, then switch it to your ip | 07:35 |
| marx2k_ | I tried to bind it to the internal lan address but didnt work | 07:35 |
| marx2k_ | my external IP? | 07:35 |
| brandon | ok, i had to push the right arrow on my laptop to highlight it | 07:35 |
| brandon | lol | 07:35 |
| adrenergic | lol | 07:36 |
| jamman105 | marx2k_, you 192.168.1.121 or whatever | 07:36 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: no router, direct connect CAT 5 ? | 07:36 |
| terrrorist | hello my lcd is giving me dark picture when video plays. it was good on etime that's how i knew i couldn't see anything before. how can i get it work bright? thank you :f | 07:36 |
| marx2k_ | missle: router. But this is internal network so it's not like its coming from outside | 07:36 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: forward port at router | 07:37 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: id rather people not be able to get to it from the outside. I'd rather keep it in-network | 07:37 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: ther may even be a default profile just for SQl on your router | 07:37 |
| marx2k_ | nah, its a very poor router :D | 07:37 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: thats seerver issue on whether you allow outside your domain | 07:37 |
| brandon | Setting up sun-java6-bin (6-03-0ubuntu2) ... | 07:38 |

| brandon | If you really want to create an icon cache here, use --ignore-theme-index | 07:38 |
| marx2k_ | misslecommander: i think as long as it's internal LAN, the router shouldnt even come into play | 07:38 |
| jamman105 | misslecommander, marx2k_, i think that its a setting in his mysql config | 07:38 |
| brandon | thats wat it says at the end of the script | 07:38 |
| misslecommander | marx2k: either way, if both are connected through router, you either forward port or allow it to auto configure for SQL | 07:38 |
| marx2k_ | jamman105: yeah I know which setting it is.. I guess ill try to play with it :/ | 07:39 |
| jamman105 | misslecommander, not true. only if coming from wan to lan. otherwise it acts as a router | 07:39 |

| misslecommander | how do i add to panel more groups ? | 07:51 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: which panel? | 07:51 |
| misslecommander | the sidebar panels | 07:51 |
| VvWolverinev1 | crdlb: thanks | 07:51 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: Hmm Im not sure which sidebar panels | 07:52 |
| misslecommander | like where your clock is, and links to apps, and application/places/system > panels with all them on it | 07:53 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: Are you talking about the main panels that are on the top and bottom by default? | 07:53 |
| misslecommander | yes | 07:53 |
| misslecommander | i seemed to have lost some groups, i dont know why | 07:53 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: right click on the panel, and you should be able to add in items | 07:53 |
| misslecommander | yes, but, it think i lost some | 07:53 |
| misslecommander | something i did ? | 07:53 |
| badkitty | You mean you are unable to add them back in? | 07:54 |
| penol | i installed Windows and then Ubuntu, and they are on 2 seperate sata disks, Now the Windows wont boot, How to fix grub? | 07:54 |
| misslecommander | ones i had before, arent there no more . maybe i uninstalled something, but i dont see as many as i used to | 07:54 |
| lazy247x | whois lazy247x | 07:54 |
| badkitty | penol: Do a google search for grub, I think there is a website alone for grub | 07:55 |
| misslecommander | not too much a deal, but just curious to whether something i did. | 07:55 |
| badkitty | dunno | 07:55 |
| misslecommander | penol: i found a way, but you need atleast 2.5 gig free unpartitioned space | 07:56 |
| misslecommander | let me get the link, it worked for me | 07:56 |
| badkitty | penol: To my knowledge it is a matter of editing the file the Grub uses to load the different systems you have | 07:57 |
| misslecommander | badkitty: i had the link too, i think i lost it in a crash. | 07:58 |
| badkitty | figures eh... | 07:59 |
| fatedkiss | <.< i seem to of gotten distracted and lost the syntax to copy a file | 08:00 |
| misslecommander | badkitty: yes it spoke of editing a file. i forget which file now. but , you install another account, diff name, that restores grub, then you edit grub file to show something like hd0,1 ors something close | 08:00 |
| badkitty | fatedkiss: lol cp /dir/filename /dir/filename | 08:00 |
| misslecommander | log back in broken account and edit the file. now i dont know | 08:00 |
| fatedkiss | yay ^^ thanks | 08:00 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: Im sure a simple google search for grub would point one in the correct direction | 08:01 |
| VvWolverinev1 | crdlb: why is is the title of my ktorrent window "%c"? | 08:01 |
| VvWolverinev1 | crdlb: why is the title of my ktorrent window "%c"? | 08:01 |
| VvWolverinev1 | whoops | 08:01 |
| misslecommander | badkitty: yes thats where i found it, bad thing is, it worked and i lost the URL, maybe its on the "fixer" account idk | 08:01 |
| misslecommander | i need to edit that file to fix this one, so i can remove the fixer account, but crashed | 08:02 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: wasn't someone else having the grub issue? | 08:03 |
| VvWolverinev1 | can someone who uses ktorrent tell me why the title of the ktorrent window says "%c"? | 08:03 |
| misslecommander | alot of people do, thats why i wanted the URL, it would help others as well., i will look for it, Firefox crashes me, but i will take one for the team | 08:03 |

| VvWolverinev1 | hi, in network settings what is the difference between "localhost" and "<computer name>" | 08:12 |
| VvWolverinev1 | ? | 08:12 |
| spdf | broken, adobe changed the package structure, I believe | 08:12 |
| VvWolverinev1 | broken: correct, there's a fix out | 08:12 |
| broken | spdf: so.. its not working anymore? | 08:12 |
| broken | Ah ok. | 08:12 |
| broken | Where would I be able to find that fix? | 08:12 |
| spdf | broken, not using that package, but there is a solution.. | 08:12 |
| jamman105 | VvWolverinev1, well, localhost is your local computer | 08:13 |
| broken | I am using gnash right now but flash is really buggy.. | 08:13 |
| broken | i've been using it only on youtube.. | 08:13 |
| Joe__ | I manually installed adobe flash plugin for firefox... how do I uninstall? | 08:13 |
| brambo | does anyone know a program close to winamp that will run under unbuntu 7.10 ? | 08:13 |
| broken | And it will sometimes just cut out, and all the controls at the bottom are messed up. | 08:13 |
| VvWolverinev1 | broken: get rid of gnash, i can send u the fix | 08:13 |
| broken | ok. | 08:13 |
| idyllic | greeting, I have a few nasty system freezes the past few days on my laptop running 7.10. While i was doing work on, the machine just freeze, and the fan run at maximum speed and produce lots of noise. I can't Alt+SysReq+L to get the log, cos the machine just hang there. So i forced shutdown. I check gnome-log but there was only a restart log. Is there anyway for me to get the log for this kind of crash? | 08:13 |
| Joe__ | idyllic: Sounds like exactly what my desktop is doing... | 08:14 |
| VvWolverinev1 | broken: you're on 64-bit gutsy? | 08:14 |
| spdf | broken, if you grab the install_flash_player_9_linux package from adobe's site, you can manually copy the .so file to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 08:14 |
| idyllic | Joe__ i am running on laptop =/ | 08:14 |
| broken | VvWolverinev1: nope 32 | 08:14 |
| VvWolverinev1 | hmm, lemme try to find the page then, i have 64 bit | 08:14 |
| Joe__ | spdf: That's how I installed it... can I just remove the .so file to uninstall? | 08:14 |
| Joe__ | idyllic you happen to have firefox running when it freezes? | 08:15 |
| spdf | Joe__, yeh | 08:15 |
| spdf | Joe__, its just a temporary fix until the packages get fixed | 08:15 |
| spdf | broken, http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 08:15 |
| idyllic | Joe__: yes, compiz-fusion, vpnc, amsn and exaile | 08:15 |
| Joe__ | spdf: Thanks... I'm having the same kinds of freezes idyllic is having... but it only happens when firefox or epiphany is running | 08:15 |
| VvWolverinev1 | broken: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 | 08:16 |
| broken | spdf: so do i just install it? or will i have to do something manually after. | 08:16 |
| Joe__ | idyllic compiz could have somethign to do with your problem | 08:16 |
| idyllic | Joe__ i tried metacity last time, it also produced the problem | 08:16 |
| brambo | i tryed putting the file into firefox also it says i cannot write in that folder | 08:16 |

| bruce_ | no prob | 08:17 |
| VvWolverinev1 | jamman105: so why are localhost and mymachine listed separately under the hosts tab? | 08:17 |
| Kilam | hello world, peace be on linux | 08:17 |
| jamman105 | bruce_, ok, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" | 08:17 |
| spdf | brambo, you need to use sudo | 08:18 |
| Joe__ | idyllic I've been dealing with the same issue for about a week now, right now I'm thinking it could be something between my nvidia drivers and the adobe flash not liking each other | 08:18 |
| brambo | and do what with sudo ? | 08:18 |
| idyllic | Joe__ i am thinking so too. I use nvidia driver by ubuntu and flash manual install from adobe | 08:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | brambo: sudo means Super User Do, or do this as root, so it's sudo command | 08:19 |
| Joe__ | idyllic: I'm about to test again, I just removed that same install of flash and going to pray there's no freeze | 08:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | brambo: E.g., sudo fdisk -l | 08:19 |
| spdf | brambo, don't just randomly paste things into your terminal, unless they apply to you, or you know whats going to happen | 08:20 |
| Joe__ | idyllic: Yours seem pretty random as well? Could go hours without a problem, or could go 5 minutes? | 08:20 |
| brandon | im back | 08:20 |
| spdf | brandon, took awhile for you to come back | 08:20 |

| spdf | fatedkiss, Downloads likely needs to be capitalized | 08:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | brambo: What application do you want that is missing? | 08:21 |
| jamman105 | bruce_, did that solve it for ya? | 08:21 |
| fatedkiss | ill try that then thnks | 08:21 |
| bruce_ | no luck | 08:21 |
| Joe__ | idyllic: Nice to know I'm not the only one, heh... I went through testing all my hardware and everything prog I run... I'll let you know if removing the flash plugin works | 08:21 |
| brambo | many | 08:22 |
| brambo | hold on a minute | 08:22 |
| brambo | let me see what i can do with this Synaptic | 08:22 |

| hunchybunch | brandon, one time i was pulling out my hair because i had no sound, and it turned out i forgot to turn up the volume on my speakers :P | 08:24 |
| spdf | fatedkiss take the quote off the end. | 08:24 |
| spdf | fatedkiss, I just put quotes around it, my apologies | 08:25 |
| brandon | i dont use any, im using the built in ones on my laptop | 08:25 |
| fatedkiss | np i just been trying different ways so i thaught id add them ^^ | 08:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | spdf: What does that command do? Sudo Filename. | 08:25 |
| brambo | how can i get that Synaptic Package Manager to install what package i want? | 08:25 |
| brandon | i have two choices, sigma tel, and nvidia | 08:25 |
| brambo | I mean how to i select a folder | 08:25 |
| fatedkiss | sudo: /home/fatedkiss/Downloads/alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2: command not found | 08:25 |
| fatedkiss | fatedkiss@Fatedkiss-Linux:/usr/src/alsa$ : linux hates me | 08:25 |

| ArthurArchnix | fatedkiss: That command makes no sense to me either. And I don't hate you. | 08:26 |
| jamman105 | k, fatedkiss what is the name of the file? | 08:26 |
| spdf | ArthurArchnix: Sudo Filename wouldnt' do anything... "sudo filename" would run whatever it is filename is with root privilages | 08:26 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, have you looked at dmesg and lsmod to see if the modules were loading? | 08:26 |
| brandon | 1 sec | 08:26 |

| jamman105 | ok, fatedkiss for this use "tar xvjf alsa-driver-1.0.15rc3.tar.bz2" | 08:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | spdf: What? He's got a tarred file... sudo filename wouldn't do anything. Is he trying to extract it somewhere? Maybe if he was trying to extract it to a folder he doesn't have permissions to write to.. I could see sudo tar... but sudo filename? | 08:27 |
| spdf | ArthurArchnix, He's trying to copy it to /usr/src | 08:27 |
| spdf | ArthurArchnix, which is owned by root.. and by default, has no write privilages for normal users.. | 08:28 |
| spdf | ArthurArchnix, Thats why he needed sudo. | 08:28 |
| ArthurArchnix | spdf: Alright then, take sudo, add jamman105's comment, and give the destination. | 08:28 |
| spdf | ArthurArchnix, You don't need to tell me how to do it. | 08:28 |
| jamman105 | calm down now guys.... | 08:28 |

| jamman105 | fatedkiss, yes, that does | 08:30 |

| jamman105 | copies the dir | 08:30 |
| dfgsftsdfg_ | hhjh | 08:30 |
| brambo | Can I use Synaptic Package Manager to install things I get from the internet? | 08:30 |
| jamman105 | brambo, i think so, but im not 100% sure | 08:30 |
| brandon | http://pastebin.com/m614e05bc go there for the lsmod | 08:31 |
| brambo | oh | 08:31 |
| spdf | brandon, looks like snd_hda_intel is loaded, which is what your card needs. | 08:31 |
| spdf | brandon, I saw something else about adding an option to the module loading, I'll see if I can find it again | 08:32 |
| jamman105 | spdf, ewwww... hda-intel... just shoot me now! | 08:32 |
| brandon | ok | 08:32 |
| fatedkiss | for cp -R dir to i subtitute dir for my directory? | 08:32 |
| jamman105 | fatedkiss, yes, that is correct | 08:33 |
| spdf | brandon, what brand/model is your laptop? | 08:33 |
| jamman105 | the fist dir is the file to copy and the /path/to/dir/ is where to copy it to | 08:33 |
| brandon | gateway | 08:33 |
| brandon | im not sure which model 1 sec | 08:33 |
| fatedkiss | ok..so can i copy the entire tar file without having to unzip it? | 08:34 |
| ArthurArchnix | brambo: Here's some good links. They have a lot of answers to a lot of common questions: http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware | 08:34 |
| brandon | it runs XP | 08:34 |
| jamman105 | fatedkiss, yes, you can. and then unzip it in the /usr/src or whereever | 08:35 |
| brambo | thank u Arthur i'll have a look | 08:35 |
| fatedkiss | okie ^^ the unziping thing thre me off a bit thanks | 08:35 |
| brandon | media center edition 2005 | 08:36 |
| brandon | i think thats the model | 08:36 |

| Arnaud04 | Hello | 08:40 |
| Arnaud04 | I've got a problem with WIFI, can anyone help me ? | 08:40 |
| tomd | last_survivor: usually when compiling you need to install development versions of packages. the development libraries have code that the runtime libraries do not. | 08:41 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: what is the problem? | 08:41 |
| last_survivor | tomd: that command fixed my problem , thank you dearly | 08:41 |
| Arnaud04 | I can't reach the network | 08:41 |
| tomd | last_survivor: np. next time just do aptitude search zlib. thats how I figured it out. | 08:41 |
| tomd | aptitude search <pkgname> | 08:41 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: did you use ndiswrapper to install the driver? | 08:41 |
| last_survivor | tomd: already , but i didnt know about development thing | 08:41 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: no, Ubuntu did it all for me | 08:42 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: when I installed ubuntu, I did nothing | 08:42 |

| TO_Felony | which program can unpack rar archives? | 08:43 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: that's it | 08:43 |
| Starnestommy | TO_Felony: unrar | 08:43 |
| TO_Felony | Starnestommy, ty | 08:43 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: I can't even ping anything | 08:43 |
| tuxd | starnestommy: wouldn't I have to have internet/wired/network access to install? It's not connected via wire, just wireless on laptop | 08:43 |
| jamman105 | TO_Felony, unrar | 08:43 |
| TO_Felony | its in one of the components of the ubuntu repo right? | 08:44 |
| Starnestommy | tuxd: there's an ndiswrapper package on the install disc. apt-get should be able to find it | 08:44 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: you may need to use ndiswrapper and a window version of the driver | 08:44 |

| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: sudo ndiswrapper -i /path/to/windows/drivers/.inf/file | 08:45 |
| TO_Felony | jamman105, is unrar cli or gui? | 08:45 |
| VvWolverinevV | for example khelpcenter | 08:45 |
| Starnestommy | VvWolverinevV: add/remove doesn't list all available software, but synaptic does | 08:45 |

| jamman105 | fatedkiss, it does wonders for you | 08:46 |

| idyllic | Joe_: lol, okay, i will hang around here till i hear further non-crash from you. thanks mate | 08:50 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: oh I see , I think it's the linux driver I've installed | 08:50 |

| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: would necessary a windows driver work better that a linux driver, though both are official proprietary drivers ? | 08:51 |
| brandon | and when i put sudo in front of it it says command not found | 08:51 |
| brambo | me too | 08:52 |
| cn28h | Joe_, yeah, it's a 160GB derive with 1 40GB NTFS partition I'm keeping | 08:52 |

| spdf | brandon, from the command line.. sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 08:52 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: often, they put more time into making the windows drivers since fewer people use linux | 08:52 |
| Joe_ | cn28h you should be able to get away with 40G for / around 8-10 for swap and rest for home. Home always takes up the most space | 08:52 |
| cn28h | really? that's much more than I was thinking for / | 08:53 |
| cn28h | I was thinking more like 10G | 08:53 |
| Joe_ | cn28h I have 8G for swap and like 180G for /, but I have 3 drives(second 180G for home and 400G for movies) | 08:53 |

| spdf | brandon, you'll need to restart for that to take effect, and hopefully do something (it'll change your volume options I'm expecting) | 08:59 |
| Starnestommy | cvd: is the interface listed in /etc/network/interfaces> | 08:59 |
| Starnestommy | er, that > should be a ? | 08:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | brambo: Under the "ubuntu" tab, check everything but "source code". Under "third party", check the top "partner", the one without the "(source)" at the end of the line. Then click close. Then, back in the add/remove dialog box, there's a drop down box in the top right corner. Change it to "all available applications". Now, search for "opera". When it shows up, put a check mark in it, and click "apply changes." That's it. | 08:59 |
| brandon | ok thx, brb | 08:59 |
| cvd | i dont have a clue what you have say to me , Starnestommy | 09:00 |
| extern | Starnestommy, thank you, it helped. Though I wonder why were all the fonts larger by default... | 09:00 |
| Starnestommy | cvd: look at the file /etc/network/interfaces. Does it say anything about eth0? | 09:01 |
| tuxd | Idyllic: wireless is Atheros Communications AR5006EG 802.11 b/g wireless PCI adapter | 09:01 |
| misslecommander | tuxd: i have a URL for you, just a sec | 09:01 |
| cvd | only this, iface eth0 inet dhcp, auto eth0 | 09:01 |
| Starnestommy | that should start the interface on startup, but it isn't doing it for some reason | 09:02 |
| misslecommander | tuxd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported Atheros is in there | 09:02 |
| tuxd | misslecommander: sweet. thanks | 09:02 |
| misslecommander | yw | 09:02 |
| misslecommander | someone know GRUB ? | 09:02 |
| cvd | ? | 09:03 |
| misslecommander | can you look at my pastebin if you are familiar with GRUB ? | 09:03 |
| tuxd | starnestommy: any idea why there is no "Device manager" under System >Administration ? | 09:03 |
| Starnestommy | cvd: which commands did you want to do on startup? | 09:03 |
| misslecommander | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52743/ | 09:03 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: well, I think I did well now, but it says "driver net8180 is already installed" | 09:03 |
| misslecommander | only need to know the one number in question | 09:04 |
| cvd | sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0' | 09:04 |
| misslecommander | how to get it | 09:04 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: I think it isn't a driver problem now, but it's likely a configuration problem | 09:04 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: what can I do, so ? | 09:04 |
| Starnestommy | cvd: add that to the file /etc/rc.local | 09:04 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: are the wirelsss card and router both set to use DHCP? | 09:05 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: yes they are | 09:05 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: is there any encryption involved? | 09:05 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: yes | 09:05 |
| cvd | In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution bits? | 09:05 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: what type? | 09:06 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: First there was a WEP, but I know my driver can't manage WEP, it makes the PC freeze | 09:06 |
| Jhq | just now i installed kubuntu system in laptop my i didnt get sound | 09:06 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: so I'm trying WPA | 09:06 |
| Arnaud04 | But in my router I don't know what kind of WPA I have to choose | 09:07 |
| Starnestommy | what types are there? | 09:07 |
| Arnaud04 | star : # WEP | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | # WPA (TKIP) | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | # WPA (AES/CCMP) | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | # WPA (TKIP + AES) | 09:08 |
| Jhq | help me | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: # WEP | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | # WPA (TKIP) | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | # WPA (AES/CCMP) | 09:08 |
| Arnaud04 | # WPA (TKIP + AES) | 09:08 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: try WPA (AES/CCMP) | 09:08 |
| brandon | back | 09:09 |
| Arnaud04 | OK I try, thank you? i have to disconnect for minutes though I must reboot my router and it's quite long | 09:09 |
| Arnaud04 | see you | 09:09 |
| brandon | hello? | 09:10 |
| Starnestommy | Jhq: what kind of sound card do you have? | 09:10 |
| Jhq | brandon just now i installed kubuntu in my laptop but i didnt get sound | 09:10 |

| cce_ | which packaged do I need to compile software from sourcecode? | 09:18 |
| cvd | how can i add more plugins to compiz, i want the 'snow'one | 09:18 |
| Starnestommy | cce_: build-essential | 09:19 |
| cce_ | thank you | 09:19 |
| cn28h | brandon, do you know what driver it uses? | 09:20 |
| brandon | no | 09:20 |
| brandon | AMD Turion? | 09:20 |
| cce_ | cvd: Ask it in #compiz | 09:20 |
| Starnestommy | or #compiz-fusion | 09:20 |
| crdlb | same channel now :D | 09:21 |
| spdf | cn28h, it uses snd-hda-intel | 09:21 |
| cce_ | cvd: Have you tried to install package called compiz-extra? | 09:21 |
| cvd | yep, | 09:21 |
| cn28h | brandon, does that show in lsmod? | 09:21 |
| cvd | but the snow is not there | 09:22 |

| cvd | cce | 09:22 |
| crdlb | cce_: compiz-extra is not for modern compiz | 09:22 |
| cvd | modern compiz/ | 09:23 |
| cvd | ? | 09:23 |
| crdlb | compiz-extra was for compiz 0.3.6 (what was in feisty) | 09:23 |

| Trubadurix | ბერი - ხომ გითხარი, რომ არაფერი მაქვს, რაღა უნდა დავაგდო? | 09:26 |
| spdf | brandon, I've never used it, to be honest. Just straight up Ubuntu, with gnome. | 09:27 |
| misslecommander | can i run GRUB from this account, and it will still work on reboot ? does GRUB menu have terminal, and how do i get to it ? | 09:27 |
| brandon | spdf, i am using ubuntu i think | 09:27 |
| fatedkiss | night everyone ^^ | 09:28 |
| misslecommander | oh well, most it can do is have me do full re-install, i dont like this OS anyhoe, this is its last chnce | 09:28 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: I'm back | 09:30 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: It doesn't work. | 09:30 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: There are two scenarios : | 09:31 |
| brandon | spdf, is there a way to find out if i am using kbutntu? | 09:31 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: If I'm as "itinerant mode", I can see the network, and it asks me a passphrase, but I can only enter a WEP phrase | 09:31 |
| === Johnson_ is now known as obf213 | ||
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: The is not a WPA choice | 09:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon What does the icon in the bottom left look like, a K, or a circle with dots. | 09:32 |
| === fideas_SHOOTER is now known as GNUdog | ||
| brandon | circle with 3 dots, but it is my top left | 09:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | That's gnome. | 09:33 |
| Starnestommy | so it's regular ubuntu | 09:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | Standard ubuntu | 09:33 |
| Joe_ | idyllic so far so good! | 09:34 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: if no encyption systems work, try disabling encryption and instead use mac filtering for access control | 09:34 |
| brandon | yea | 09:34 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: On my router, I can't disable the encryption | 09:34 |
| Starnestommy | eep. | 09:35 |
| Starnestommy | did WEP work? | 09:35 |
| idyllic | Joe_: that's great =) | 09:36 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, ubuntu is better than kubuntu anyway :P | 09:36 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon I tried scrolling up to see your issue, can you summarize it for me. One big paragraph bringing me up to speed on what the problem is, what you've tried to fix it, and the other relevant details that others have asked you for already. | 09:36 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: WEP makes my PC freeze | 09:36 |
| idyllic | Joe_: gah... so i just go in /usr/bin/ then remove flash plugin no? | 09:36 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: any of the other WPA options? | 09:36 |
| Joe_ | idyllic depends on how installed it, if you installed it for local user only it's in ~/.mozilla/plugins | 09:36 |
| Joe_ | idyllic if you installed it system wide... let me check.. | 09:37 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: I've tried all WPA options | 09:37 |
| idyllic | Joe_: locate libflashplayer.so then i got /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins also | 09:37 |
| idyllic | Joe_: i got 3 in total, plus the opera one | 09:38 |
| Joe_ | that would be it | 09:38 |
| Starnestommy | Arnaud04: to be honest, I've run out of ideas | 09:38 |
| Arnaud04 | Starnestommy: OK I'm going to disconnect and try other things, thank you | 09:38 |
| Joe_ | idyllic I only had one, but I installed it just for one user(only have one user, heh) | 09:39 |
| mastermito | good morning | 09:39 |
| mastermito | i have here a little problem | 09:39 |
| brandon | Arthur Archnix, basically im using ubuntu on my laptop, I cannot hear any sound, and I have downloaded 2 things for it and edited the ALSA page for my sound. Im in the dark here cause im still new to the linux system type, so idk where to start | 09:39 |
| Joe_ | idyllic: if you open flashplayer-installer in gedit you can see it puts it in /usr/lib/mozilla or /home/<user>/,mozilla/plugins | 09:40 |
| khaotik | how can i get my webcam working? | 09:40 |
| idyllic | Joe_: thanks mate. Btw, do you happen to know how to get flash working in opera? I search high and low on internet. Non working so far | 09:41 |
| mastermito | i have here an external USB Disk Drive with a destroyed ntfs partition. under Linux is everything ok. I can mount it, copy important files. But under windows the partition is not available. i can see the partition, but there is no possibilty to see the files | 09:41 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon: Start by confirming that you've unmuted your speakers and everything. In a terminal, type: alsamixer when it opens, you use the keyboard. Right, left, up and down. Press M to unmute. Press 'esc' to exit. Then type "sudo alsactl store" to save it. You type that in a terminal without quotes. | 09:41 |
| Joe_ | idyllic I don't... I'm gonna be trying to figure out what the conflict is with flash causing these freeze-ups... I'm thinking it doesn't like the drivers, because my other linux box doesn't freeze up like that | 09:42 |
| mic | away | 09:42 |
| mic | [away] | 09:42 |
| Joe_ | idyllic: It seems that flash installer from adobe can detect opera installs too | 09:42 |
| mic | <away> | 09:42 |
| idyllic | Joe_: well, it didn't work for me =(. Anyway, best of lurk if you find anything regarding to the flash | 09:43 |
| cyzie | how do i know which resolution im runinng now? | 09:43 |
| idyllic | Joe_: Will look for you whenever i hop in the channel. You don't change nick and don't mind me pm you right? | 09:44 |
| Joe_ | idyllic: Hopefully it fixes your freeze up problems too... no flash sucks, but better than an unusable computer :P Worst case we can hope 8.04 fixes the issue | 09:44 |
| mosno | MJC: oh hiii | 09:44 |
| MJC | oh hii | 09:44 |
| Joe_ | idyllic: np, should be on this nick. | 09:44 |
| MJC | KDE Boy | 09:44 |
| mastermito | quit | 09:44 |
| brandon | Arthur Archnix, ok, did that | 09:45 |
| mosno | MJC: Gnome Fiend! | 09:45 |
| idyllic | Joe_: thanks man. | 09:45 |
| hunchybunch | does nobody have flash working in ubuntu besides me? i do :-) | 09:45 |
| cvd | a command to restart compiz? | 09:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon In a terminal type "aplay -l" without quotes. That's a lowercase L, not a 1. | 09:46 |
| hunchybunch | compiz --restart maybe? | 09:46 |
| idyllic | cvd: compiz | 09:46 |
| crdlb | compiz --replace | 09:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon What does it say? | 09:46 |
| idyllic | just compiz only is fine i guess | 09:46 |

| brandon | huh? | 09:48 |
| hunchybunch | cvd im sorry, it's compiz --replace | 09:48 |
| brandon | thats all there was | 09:48 |
| cvd | ok, thanks , now working | 09:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon When you need to paste a few lines of output... use pastebin. It's ok though. It's quiet. So, can you find the sound mixer in gnome? it should be in >system>preferences>sound | 09:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Under sound events, see how there is sound playback, and it's on autodetect? | 09:49 |
| brandon | yea | 09:49 |
| cvd | but when i close the terminal the emerald fuc** up | 09:50 |
| ArthurArchnix | Ok, hit test on autodetect. And if you don't hear a sound, change that to the next one in the list, and test that. Do that for all of them. Then report what you've heard. Or not. :) | 09:50 |
| bazhang | !ohmy | cvd | 09:50 |
| ubotu | cvd: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 09:50 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, or try alsamixer from a terminal to make sure that your pcm is turned up | 09:50 |
| brandon | ok.. | 09:50 |
| ArthurArchnix | hunchybunch: We've gone through alsamixer, and sudo alsactl store. Brandon reported that ok. | 09:51 |
| bazhang | cvd: do that from alt f2, not terminal | 09:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | hunchybunch: I haven't yet asked him for lspci | grep Audio, but if the sound test comes back negative, that's next. Because aplay -l reports that ubuntu sees his audio card. | 09:51 |
| hunchybunch | did he check pcm though? sometimes it's turned down for no reason | 09:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | hunchybunch: Didn't confirm that. | 09:52 |
| brandon | all three are turned up | 09:52 |
| cvd | oh ok, thanks | 09:52 |
| bazhang | no worries | 09:52 |
| UberPsyX | hey guys, im trying to dual boot with xp and ubuntu and everything went fine until i booted into xp, it went wappy and i fixed it but i think its uninstalled grub, ive tried apt-get remove and then install on grub but that didnt work, any ideas? | 09:52 |
| bazhang | UberPsyX: which was installed first | 09:52 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, right arrow over to pcm, it's off the page | 09:52 |
| UberPsyX | bazhang, xp | 09:52 |
| dastra | hi | 09:53 |
| bazhang | UberPsyX: what is went wappy? was this the xp that messed up? | 09:53 |
| brandon | its up all the way | 09:54 |
| brandon | its right next to master | 09:54 |
| UberPsyX | bazhang, well it went all system recovery and i had to reconfigure everything, it did the whole going back to safe date thing (stupid idea of recovery if you ask me!) | 09:54 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon hunchybunch I'm disappearing for five minutes. I have some bad air to inhale. Post the output of "lspci | grep Audio" for me, we need to see if this is the infamous intel ICH8 rev3. | 09:55 |
| bazhang | UberPsyX: not familiar with windows xp--perhaps some other ##windows users here can help out; there is also the !grub command to help you fix grub if you want to try that | 09:55 |
| UberPsyX | you think its possible its wiped ubuntu off the second partition? its still ext3 but i thought it was more likely grub had been erased | 09:55 |
| brandon | post what? | 09:55 |
| bazhang | UberPsyX: likely a grub issue | 09:56 |
| bazhang | !grub | UberPsyX | 09:56 |
| ubotu | UberPsyX: 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 | 09:56 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, that is curious, i have nvidia on my mobo, and it was a no-brainer to get going - i think mine is using ac97 though | 09:56 |
| UberPsyX | bazhang, ok thanks for the help, will that work off the live cd? its just thats the only way i can boot into ubuntu | 09:56 |
| brandon | oh.. | 09:56 |
| bazhang | UberPsyX: I would not give good advice in this situation; could do, but I am not sure at this point | 09:57 |
| brandon | yea, it is nVidia and sigma tel | 09:57 |
| brandon | so yea idk | 09:57 |
| UberPsyX | bazhang, ok thanks a lot | 09:57 |
| praveen_ | changing sounds doent not work in Gutsy Gibbon ne suggestions ? | 09:58 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, you sure your lappy doesn't have some kind of mute button on it er supthin? | 09:59 |
| brandon | it has a mute button, but the sound isnt muted | 10:00 |
| Thinkpad | Hello Room | 10:00 |
| Thinkpad | This is for the first time i am on IRC after a break for 10 Years | 10:01 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, changing what sounds? | 10:01 |
| buyaka | 10 year break from irc? | 10:01 |
| praveen_ | System Sound preferences | 10:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon What's the output of that command I gave you to enter into the terminal.... | 10:01 |
| Thinkpad | yes 10 Years | 10:01 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, what are you using in the way of audio anyway, are you trying to play an mp3 possibly? | 10:02 |
| Thinkpad | There use to be a time of MIRC | 10:02 |
| Thinkpad | now i ma using ChatZIlla | 10:02 |
| brandon | yea, they are mp3 files | 10:02 |
| Eds | Is it true that if I want to play World of Warcraft in Wine, I have to disable compiz everytime? | 10:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | Thinkpad: Welcome back to teh intarwebs. ;) | 10:02 |
| Guest17501 | hello | 10:02 |
| Thinkpad | Thanks Arthur | 10:02 |
| Guest17501 | hello world | 10:03 |
| Thinkpad | It seems i will get addicted to IRC again | 10:03 |
| Thinkpad | :) | 10:03 |
| brandon | where do I find the output? | 10:03 |
| Thinkpad | Hello World Yes Hello World | 10:03 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, double click on your speaker in the bar at the top <~ | 10:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | Eds: Perhaps... I'm not sure. But a quick easy way to do it is to hit Alt+F2 and then type "metacity --replace" | 10:03 |
| Eds | ' | 10:03 |
| Eds | what does that do? :) | 10:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Open a terminal, copy and paste that command in there. Then highlight and copy the output, then paste it here. | 10:04 |
| hunchybunch | brandon, have you installed all the bad restricted drivers? i dont think mp3 plays out of the box. | 10:04 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, am able to hear sound but i wanna add sound for warning messages .... clicking buttons etc | 10:04 |
| hunchybunch | maybe it does though, ive always installed all the restricted drivers from the beginning | 10:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | Eds: It turns off compiz, and switches to metacity, temporarily, just for the one session. The next time you start ubuntu, it starts normally. Or when you're done playing, you do the same thing but type "compiz --replace" and it turns it back on. | 10:05 |
| brandon | 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) | 10:05 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, the Systems->Preference->Sound ( Sound Tab) | 10:05 |
| brandon | what do you mean all the bad drivers? | 10:05 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, i understand, but in order for that to happen, you have to use esd instead of alsa. esd sucks though | 10:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon I have something for you to try, but you have to do it exactly like I type, so that if it doesn't work, we can revert the changes and come back to square one, ok? | 10:06 |
| brandon | ok | 10:06 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, ohh k hw do i do tht ? | 10:07 |
| Schmallon | Hi there. Any news on the broken xserver-xorg-core package? Has it been fixed? | 10:07 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, i believe the next version of ubuntu should solve that because it will use pulse audio by default instead of alsa-esd | 10:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | in a terminal, type this without quotes: "sudo cp /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.d.bak" | 10:07 |
| eshaase | how do i disable keybindings such as windows key + r (or 1,2,3) which seem to do zoom-related stuff? | 10:08 |
| praveen_ | the one after 7.10 ?? | 10:08 |
| User59 | can u help me guys | 10:08 |
| earthling | anybody with a problem in gusty amd64 that the monitor stops responding? | 10:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | !ask | User59 | 10:08 |
| ubotu | User59: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 10:08 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, the one after 7.10 ?? | 10:08 |
| brandon | Arthur Archnix, ok | 10:09 |
| brandon | it says event not found | 10:09 |
| Thinkpad | praveen_ when you finish with this i needed some helo from you on BSNL dataone front for UBUNTU. You are on IRC so seems you sorted out the Dataone Problem. BTW are you in India at the moment | 10:09 |
| brandon | for !ask | 10:09 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, yea, it may not be ready for prime time as yet, probably in 3 to 4 months | 10:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon lol. Sorry... that wasn't for you. That was a command for ubotu, here in the forum. Did you do the sudo cp one? | 10:10 |
| jasmin_ | hi | 10:10 |
| earthling | anybody with a problem in gusty amd64 that the monitor stops responding during boot process? | 10:10 |
| brandon | yea | 10:10 |
| jasmin_ | i installed kubuntu but i didnt get sound | 10:11 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, k ill wait for tht | 10:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Ok. We just backed up your file so that we can restore it if need be. Now we edit it. Type: "gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 10:11 |
| praveen_ | Thinkpad, hi .... wat is the problem ?? | 10:11 |
| Starnestommy | earthling: the splash screen must be the problem, I think | 10:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Does a file open up, with a bunch of lines and stuff? | 10:11 |
| jasmin_ | how do i mount my sound card | 10:12 |
| jasmin_ | i installed kubuntu but i didnt get sound | 10:12 |
| Starnestommy | you can't mount sound cards | 10:12 |
| brandon | yea, the one I edited | 10:12 |
| Thinkpad | Praveen thanks for the reply. We wanna migrate our entire company of 5 on ubuntu and take exit from anything thats microsoft. The installations goes good. The sound and AGP works too | 10:12 |
| simion314 | hi, i am tring to share files with other computers(that run Ubuntu and windows) i read a tutorial add folders to share, instaled samba. After ading a user to samba i can't see the other computer anymore(before adding the samba user i can see the other computer but i can't browse it) Help | 10:12 |
| jasmin_ | how do i mount my sound card | 10:12 |
| Thinkpad | But when it comes to configuring the Dataone Broadband of BSNL | 10:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Oh... you've edited this before? What did you do to it? | 10:12 |
| Thinkpad | We are just clueless :( | 10:13 |
| brandon | options snd-hda-intel model=laptop <- thats what i had put in at the top | 10:13 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, it is at 8.04 alpha right now, you can get pulse audio to work with gutsy, but it's a pain. | 10:13 |
| scimmiapazza | hi. Is there anyone that is using compiz & atidrivers? | 10:13 |
| jasmin_ | brandon: now what do i do for i want sound | 10:13 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, ohh .... if u hav ne link gimme | 10:14 |
| hunchybunch | scimmiapazza, i'm using compiz with ati open source drivers | 10:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon I didn't see that. Ok, delete the line you added. And add this instead: "options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=3stack" without quotes, of course. Then, unless someone here knows how to restart alsa, you'll need to reboot. | 10:14 |
| brandon | jasmin, im tryin to find that out for myself lol | 10:14 |
| praveen_ | Thinkpad, heh itz easy use pppoeconf | 10:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | Does anyone here know how to restart alsa without rebooting? | 10:14 |
| hunchybunch | praveen_, not sure, look at distrowatch.com and ubuntu | 10:14 |
| ajopaul | anyone knows how to fix audio video sync issues for a avi file after encoding it using mencoder?? | 10:14 |
| praveen_ | Thinkpad, open the terminal ..... type sudo pppoeconf | 10:15 |
| fatih | I have a problem with installion of Gutsy. After we select Start or Install Ubuntu menu option from Ubuntu installation CD. A cursor appears on top-left corner of screen and installation doesn't continue. What might be the problem? | 10:15 |
| Thinkpad | praveen_ yes. The thing is when we are in Windows it gets connected automatically. SO do you have any link for ubun tu where it will explain me about pppoeconf ? | 10:15 |
| scimmiapazza | hunchybunch: Uh..no I was looking for closed driver..Open surce drivers supports only a little part of graphic card..right? | 10:15 |
| praveen_ | hunchybunch, k thnks | 10:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | fatih: Bad cd? Have you done a disk check for errors when booting? | 10:16 |
| Thinkpad | Praveen_ that explains a lot. Thanks for your help Buddy. I think i will take it from here. WOw so good to have life back on IRC again | 10:16 |
| hunchybunch | scimmiapazza, wrongo, the open one works great for everything as far as my card is concerned | 10:16 |
| jasmin_ | i installed kubuntu but i didnt detect sound so what i hav to do plz tel me | 10:16 |
| brandon | ok, ill be back | 10:16 |
| brandon | restarting | 10:16 |
| Starnestommy | jasmin_: what you would need to do depends on which sound card you use | 10:16 |
| praveen_ | Thinkpad, if u still hav prob let me kno | 10:17 |
| jasmin_ | Starnestommy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52745/ | 10:17 |
| Thinkpad | Yes sure. The thing is i am at home today and not in front of UBUNTU machine. But it seems your clue gonna help me | 10:17 |
| scimmiapazza | hunchybunch, Really O.ò ..I'll try..My problem is always configure xorg for compiz. Can you post your xorg, please? | 10:17 |
| hunchybunch | scimmiapazza, but i have an older 9200 radeon card - i can do compiz and tvout gl ... | 10:17 |

| ArthurArchnix | brandon Ok. That's Gutsy. Here's what I found. Your audio is working in Hardy. That's the next release of Ubuntu, not due until April. If you want sound before then you're going to have to compile and install the lastest version of alsa. It's not a small thing. You'll need to look at this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449&highlight=alsamixer+settings+is But you'll need to scroll down to where it says gettin | 10:46 |
| brandon | ok... | 10:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Here's a link that gives more detail about what's wrong with your card, and the fix that is coming down the pipe in Hardy. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/117246 | 10:47 |

| ArthurArchnix | brandon hunchybunch is being a little sarcastic I think. You could just install hardy, but it's only a release candidate, which means you'll have many more problems that are much harder to fix than this one. Just post a thread in the forums explaining that you need to install the latest version. Ask for help about any details that you don't understand from the howto thread I linked to. | 10:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon Latest version of Alsa I mean. | 10:53 |

| hunchybunch | kr00l, have you tried the ones at art.gnome.org? i haven't done the google ones. but the ones at art.gnome.org install easybreezy!!!! | 11:01 |
| kr00l | hunchybunch: do i need Emerald Theme Manager? | 11:01 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| hunchybunch | to change the boarders, yes. | 11:02 |
| === krel is now known as vkrel | ||
| hunchybunch | but emerald has crashed on me in the past, leaving me with no boarder :P metacity is much more stable. | 11:03 |
| gucci | can s.o send me etter.conf file pls?i deleted mine | 11:03 |
| brandon | ArthurArchnix, how do I do this it seems simple but im not sure I did it right, Open a terminal and type : su then make a directory called alsa into /usr/local/src. Copy the files to this directory and unpack them (tar xjvf alsa-... for every file) | 11:04 |
| kr00l | hunchybunch: how do i get metacity? | 11:05 |
| brandon | i had a problem with the whole make the directory called alsa into /usr/local/src | 11:05 |
| hunchybunch | kr00l, u r running metacity now silly :-) | 11:05 |
| gucci | sending a file is so hard? | 11:05 |
| kr00l | hunchybunch: so i should look for metacity themes instead | 11:06 |
| Starnestommy | gucci: which file is it? | 11:06 |
| hunchybunch | kr00l, yea, they are pretty cool, and there are a lot of them | 11:06 |
| ServerSide | Who can give me a "good" sources.list? | 11:06 |
| gucci | etter.conf in etc | 11:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon First, give me a link to the files you downloaded, then give me a link to the instructions, you're following, then give me a link to the command that returns an error. | 11:06 |
| Starnestommy | gucci: I don't think I have it. Do you know which programs use it? | 11:07 |
| gucci | ettercap uses it | 11:07 |

| Parker | question | 11:08 |
| kr00l | hunchybunch: i got confused when i googled compiz themes it came up with emerald themes not metacity. So i should be good now | 11:08 |
| gucci | not a folder a .conf file | 11:08 |
| Parker | im new to ubuntu, and i cant uninstall firefox becuse its being used by other processes | 11:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | gucci: I don't have that file. If ettercap uses it, and you've deleted it, try "sudo apt-get remove --purge ettercap", then "sudo apt-get install ettercap" I'm assuming the program name is ettercap. That should restore all files it needs to run. | 11:08 |
| Parker | but im not sure how to end those processes in order to uninstall it | 11:08 |
| ArthurArchnix | brandon You're following instructions meant for Fedora. Try the instructions I gave you for Ubuntu, at the complete sound solutions guide. | 11:09 |
| hunchybunch | kr00l, you could give them a try, but i was having problems with them, and ive heard of other people having problems with them also, but if you have emereld installed, compiz will try to use emerald instead of metacity. | 11:09 |

| Zasch | Hello. For some reason, Gnumeric has no functions and no ability to make graphs | 11:17 |

| IndyGunFreak | elbermungsterses: http://www.gnome-look.org plenty of stuff there to change the look. | 12:50 |
| elbermungsterses | yeah, tumbleweed__ , but i downloaded some themes and the windowbar won't change. | 12:51 |
| tumbleweed__ | just the window bar? | 12:52 |
| tumbleweed__ | have you tried restarting? | 12:52 |
| tumbleweed__ | that sometimes fixes it | 12:52 |
| tumbleweed__ | i think it's a bug in one of the themes, I've had that problem before | 12:52 |
| tumbleweed__ | just select the theme you want, click apply, then restart. then come back on irc and let us know how it worked | 12:52 |

| stefg | coolbhavi: catch grub by pressing 'esc' at the preboot stage and edit the kernel line with 'e' just write 'nohz=off' at the end. this disables the new tickless feature, so you can test if that is the cause of your trouble | 13:02 |

| tumbleweed__ | Sergio21 : you have to generate the database first | 13:02 |
| tumbleweed__ | updatedb in the terminal should do it | 13:03 |
| Sergio21 | tumbleweed__, how to do this? | 13:03 |
| tumbleweed__ | also, I would recommend slocate over locate | 13:03 |

| tumbleweed__ | you could also simply sudo apt-get install nm-applet and add it to your sessions file | 13:05 |

| Sergio21 | hi | 13:05 |
| Sergio21 | chrispl | 13:05 |
| Otacon22 | i started it but it don't do aniything | 13:05 |
| chrispl | i have a strange problem... | 13:05 |
| Otacon22 | only create the icon | 13:06 |
| Otacon22 | but i can't set anything | 13:06 |
| stefg | nu2buntu: so you want internet connection sharing (ics). IIRC firestarter can set that up for you, but google has lots of info on that, too. google 'ubuntu ics' | 13:06 |
| chrispl | if i start xbindkeys from the terminal it works great, but if i create a launcher to xbindkeys the process starts but it does not capture the set keys | 13:07 |
| erUSUL | nu2buntu: you should configure the eth0 interface via /etc/network/interfaces or System>Admin>Net the last two commands can be on rc.local | 13:07 |
| cosmodad | does the Ubuntu server edition provide a live CD too? | 13:07 |

| tumbleweed__ | but I need that | 13:07 |
| stefg | cosmodad: that would be quite senseless... server has no gui by default | 13:07 |
| Otacon22 | it works perfectly | 13:07 |

| tumbleweed__ | so if it works perfectly, why are you not using the internet? | 13:08 |
| salierri | dual booting? | 13:08 |

| bazhang | salierri: which OS? ubuntu, or ubuntu-based? | 13:08 |

| salierri | i installed some other pc's with that cd but | 13:09 |

| tumbleweed__ | you're going to have to paste the output of lspci, which tells me which cards are installed into your PCI busses, such as wifi cards. | 13:09 |
| salierri | its asking me for username on other pc | 13:09 |
| coolbhavi | Is it possible to acheive upsplash transperancy? | 13:09 |
| salierri | and im sure i booted it from cd not grub | 13:09 |
| tumbleweed__ | coolbhavi : I don't believe so | 13:09 |
| selene | hi..i tried in the kubuntu channel first but not many answers..knetworkmanager ain't showing any wireless networks and prev. setting things manually worked but now that isn't working either... :( | 13:09 |
| stefg | cosmodad: in theory you're right, but in practice there's not much use for that. Server is meant to set up a minimal system on possibly low-ram machines, that can't run a live CD. if you need a recovery system, there's specialized CD's for that | 13:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | salierri: Did it get to menu that said start or install.. integrity check etc? | 13:10 |

| tumbleweed__ | I can probably help you with that | 13:10 |
| coolbhavi | I am not asking alpha mixing,usplash displays the transparent part as black. What do I need to set the usplash_pixmap.transparent to? The index or the color? | 13:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | salierri: and it came up asking for your user and password ? | 13:11 |
| cosmodad | stefg: right now, I am required to boot my server from a live system to set up an encrypted partition. This sounds like a good reason for a such a CLI live system. | 13:11 |
| salierri | yes | 13:11 |
| chrispl | if i start xbindkeys from the terminal it works great, but if i create a launcher to xbindkeys the process starts but it does not capture the set keys | 13:11 |

| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ ok... i've got a hp6000 laptop... with built in webcam... I apt-got webcam and it goes there.... the light turns on... but its going for the dev/video0.... and it crashes after that | 13:11 |
| salierri | and i used that cd before | 13:11 |
| stefg | cosmodad: just use the standard Desktop CD. the kernel will be different anyway | 13:12 |
| yoluca | anyone installed ubuntu on vaio fz21z ? | 13:12 |
| tumbleweed__ | oh | 13:12 |
| coolbhavi | Any info on this? | 13:12 |
| cosmodad | stefg: and CLI mode is meant to not use up a lot RAM anyway. | 13:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | salierri: I have never heard or seen that happen.. Sorry I have o answer | 13:12 |
| selene | hi..i tried in the kubuntu channel first but not many answers..knetworkmanager ain't showing any wireless networks and prev. setting things manually worked but now that isn't working either... :( | 13:12 |
| cosmodad | stefg: ok I will. | 13:12 |
| tumbleweed__ | I think I know what your problem is, rodrigo | 13:12 |
| yoluca | is there anyway i can check if ubuntu will run ok on my laptop ? | 13:12 |
| cosmodad | stefg: thanks too. | 13:12 |

| xushi | i need advice | 13:12 |
| xushi | how can one edit sendmail on ubuntu to relay any email he sends to another mail server ? | 13:13 |
| tumbleweed__ | type gstreamer-properties into a terminal, click the video tab, and click the test button by "default input" | 13:13 |
| tomd | yoluca: what kind of laptop | 13:13 |
| === lagann is now known as lagann_ | ||
| tomd | yoluca: most likely, yes. | 13:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yoluca: Get the livecd and try it.. it does not instll unless you tell it specifically to do so.. It just runs from ram | 13:13 |
| yoluca | tomd sony vaio fz21z | 13:13 |
| rodrigo | will go from there... thanks tumbleweed__ | 13:13 |
| cosmodad | another issue: this dm-crypt Ubuntu guide I'm following says to use copy -ax to move over an entire partition (/, in this case). Wouldn't that miss out hidden stuff, as in /home? | 13:13 |
| tumbleweed__ | no problem | 13:13 |
| tumbleweed__ | just tell me what happens | 13:14 |
| salierri | any1 heard this problem live cd asking for password? | 13:14 |
| tomd | yoluca: well, as Jack_Sparrow try the livecd.. modern linux runs on everything | 13:14 |
| rodrigo | i will | 13:14 |
| Badger | salierri: I had that | 13:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yoluca: You can also look up your laptop in supported hardware on the wiki | 13:14 |
| salierri | how did you solve that? | 13:14 |
| Badger | you've tried different combos? | 13:14 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ input: fine.... output:Video for Linux (v4l): Could not get/set settings from/on resource | 13:14 |
| ulfstand | what's the package name for jbig-dev? | 13:15 |
| salierri | yeah combos with live ubuntu user root | 13:15 |
| tumbleweed__ | yeah | 13:15 |
| Badger | also, I think it should log you in if you leave it for a while, though I'm not certain | 13:15 |
| tumbleweed__ | change it to v4l2 | 13:15 |
| tumbleweed__ | :) | 13:15 |
| rodrigo | cool | 13:15 |
| tumbleweed__ | then click test | 13:15 |
| salierri | im waiting for 15mins and nothing happened | 13:15 |
| rodrigo | damn ... your good | 13:15 |
| rodrigo | worked man! | 13:15 |
| tumbleweed__ | I've just been through it before | 13:15 |
| Badger | salierri: that won't work then. :P | 13:15 |
| rodrigo | ok... | 13:15 |
| salierri | :D | 13:15 |
| rodrigo | by the way | 13:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | salierri: Is there another OS, on the computer you are trying to boot love? | 13:15 |
| tumbleweed__ | now just click ok and all apps that use gstreamer for the webcam will work | 13:16 |
| Badger | salierri: probably the only option is to get the alternate | 13:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | live | 13:16 |
| salierri | nope | 13:16 |
| yoluca | thanks | 13:16 |
| rodrigo | i've got a very simple install for my t-mobile dongle ... and it working fine... whoul i post it on ubuntu forums? | 13:16 |
| bazhang | salierri: just a moment--I am booting up the livecd | 13:16 |
| salierri | i tried to isntall ubuntu 7.04 before | 13:16 |
| tumbleweed__ | rodrigo : if you think it would help others, by all means. | 13:16 |
| salierri | and its stuck at at 25% on install | 13:17 |
| rodrigo | thanks tumbleweed__ ... i think it will | 13:17 |
| tumbleweed__ | no problem | 13:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | salierri: Did you do the integrity check on that disk.. yes, even if it worked on a different computer.. | 13:17 |
| salierri | how can i find alternate for 7.10? | 13:17 |

| salierri | yes i did integrity check and installed another computer with that cd and i tried to boot with another live cd but same thing happened | 13:18 |
| Badger | Is there any way to remove grub? | 13:18 |
| stefg | salierri: how much ram ? | 13:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Badger: do you have a windows XP disk?.. or a windows boot disk? | 13:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | salierri: At start or install you can try different boot modifiers.. like pci=noapci acpi=off noapic nolapic or all_generic_ide acip=off | 13:18 |
| Badger | IndyGunFreak: Vista reinstall disk | 13:18 |

| Badger | thanks stefg | 13:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | stefg: thats awesome, hadnm't heard of that.... can you do that from the live CD? | 13:19 |
| stefg | IndyGunFreak: only if you install that from Live environment (it's optional)... | 13:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | right, tahst what i'm saying.., interesting | 13:20 |
| tumbleweed__ | I didn't know about that either | 13:20 |
| tumbleweed__ | probably because I don't use windows at all :> | 13:21 |

| Jack_Sparrow | stefg: Thanks for the info.. I will look into it... Could be a handy resource for us | 13:23 |
| nu2buntu | stefg: it looks complicated :( do u have any easier guidelines for this ubuntu-firewall ?/ | 13:23 |
| bazhang | salierri: yeah, the ubuntu livecd does not require a user name or password; were you booting from the already installed system--or was this something like linuxmint which iirc requires that? | 13:23 |
| salierri | linuxmint=? | 13:24 |
| salierri | bazhang are you using live cd now? | 13:24 |
| bazhang | salierri: yes | 13:24 |
| salierri | bazhang can you say username? | 13:24 |
| stefg | nu2buntu: you should probably look into getting a proper router and hook both computers to it | 13:25 |
| bazhang | salierri: during the installation process or during the entering livecd session? the latter requires none | 13:25 |
| salierri | bazhang live cd sesion username | 13:25 |
| salierri | bazhang: in administitor menu? | 13:26 |
| bazhang | salierri: either that is not ubuntu 7.10 (perhaps an earlier version) or it is ubuntu-based. | 13:26 |
| praveen_ | hw to change PATH variable ? | 13:26 |
| salierri | bazhang: i installed another pc with using that cd i cant understand what happened? | 13:26 |
| nu2buntu | stefg : i dont need a router at the moment...since i need to only connect with a single pc with room mate ... i read somewhere.. that i could save this config (which i previously paste here) so that i wont have to retype it all over | 13:27 |

| _Dbug_ | Hi. I broke the display, it's all scrambled, like when the size of scanlines of what is displayed is not the same as the real size of the screen so I can see about 15 parts of the mouse cursor, and cannot read any text. Is there an easy way to reset to a "safe default" ? | 13:41 |
| n2diy_ | An hour ago Dapper crashed on me. The Hard Drive became very active, then I my mouse stop responding, then the keyboard, and the screen saver kicked in. I couldn't get any response period. Ctrl+alt +backspace didn't work, nor did ctrl+alt+F2, I had to shut down with the power switch. Everything appears ok now, since here I am, knock, knock. Besides checking the logs, any ideas? | 13:42 |
| motoplux | hi all | 13:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Dbug_: boot to recovery mode or try ctrl-alt-f2 for term and sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:44 |

| Forsakensoul | ? | 13:45 |
| _Dbug_ | Jack_Sparrow, ok. I'm in the "Package configuration" text application. Anything special I have to be careful about ? Basically it's a new install, and I did something wrong trying to install nvidia drivers - I have an unsuported 8800 gt | 13:46 |
| Forsakensoul | i play the movie with vlc player but it doesn`t show any subtitles | 13:46 |
| Forsakensoul | when i play it in movie player it shows some kinds of hieroglyphs ot something | 13:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Forsakensoul: i don't think VLC supports subtitles, but i could be wrong... i know it doesn't when you use it for TV | 13:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Dbug_: vesa will get you basic gui | 13:46 |
| amerio | IndyGUnFreak VLC supports subtitles | 13:46 |
| Starnestommy | IndyGunFreak: it does, but not closed captioning | 13:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | amerio: gotcha... like i said, i wasn't 100% | 13:47 |
| elprieto | hello | 13:47 |
| Forsakensoul | IndyGunFreak well it supports in windows | 13:47 |
| n2diy_ | stefg: not familiar with smart log, I'll explore that. The hardware is old, except for the Hard Drive, which is only a year or two old, but... I don't think heat is a problem, room temp here is 65, and I have the cover off the box. Thanks. | 13:47 |
| rinaldi_ | Forsakensoul: usually with vlc you right click on the playing video and find subtitles, there it shows all available subtitles | 13:47 |
| elprieto | gay | 13:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Forsakensoul: well.., a lot of things work in Windows that dn't work in Linux | 13:47 |

| amerio | bazhang I mean a window manager like compiz | 13:53 |
| wyclif | i like thunar a lot | 13:53 |
| Blu_Ciccio | Hi all, I'm new to ubuntu (new to linux), so be patient with me :) | 13:53 |
| wyclif | keeps everything neat | 13:53 |
| amerio | Forsakensoul better than nothing , I believe u need to find the right encoding for ur lang | 13:54 |
| Boris | Blu_Ciccio, hi | 13:54 |
| Forsakensoul | yep | 13:54 |
| IdleOne | welcome Blu_Ciccio | 13:54 |
| wyclif | Blu_Ciccio don't worry a lot of ppl here are new, including me, welcome! | 13:54 |
| vrkhans | does any one can help me how to use this script | 13:54 |
| stefg | n2diy_: so be gentle with that old box.... and consider spreading the maintenace runs over different times of the day (and disable unnecessary stuff, like updatedb on a server that never changes) | 13:54 |
| bazhang | amerio: you want to set appearances in the system--preferences--appearance like that always start up with effects? | 13:54 |
| Blu_Ciccio | Thx all! I've this problem: I' want to translate the app zenity (italian) so I've download the source... (continue) | 13:55 |
| amerio | bazhang well I have a problem , it seems that I removed the default window manager by wrong , and I've set up compiz to load on startup , so after login I get no borders until compiz loads , but it takes 1 or 2 minutes to load compiz | 13:55 |
| IdleOne | Blu_Ciccio: try and put your questions into one post please | 13:55 |
| bazhang | amerio: you uninstalled metacity? | 13:56 |
| wyclif | ok, i'm enjoying Ubuntu, I love it, but there are still some problems. One of them is that I still don't seem to have the right fonts. for example, any Google page in Firefox looks compressed | 13:56 |
| amerio | bazhang I didnt but its not loading on startup | 13:56 |
| stefg | !fonts | wyclif | 13:56 |
| ubotu | wyclif: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 13:56 |
| wyclif | and that's after grabbing the fonts. | 13:56 |
| Blu_Ciccio | and try to modify the file 'it.po' but when i compile the programs keep the previous translation and I cant refresh mine! (sorry for multi post) | 13:56 |
| bazhang | amerio: you want to permanently disable compiz/effects? | 13:57 |
| amerio | bazhang I want to make compiz loads on startup , it loads but after 1 Minute | 13:57 |
| _Dbug_ | ok, display is back... thanks | 13:57 |
| Forsakensoul | amerio do you thing that by any chance the encoding in bsplayer in win would match the right encoding here ? | 13:57 |
| rufus | does anyone know if verizon internet services allows hosting a web server, or if they block the ports? | 13:57 |
| bazhang | amerio: I think that would be a limitation of your graphic card system and not really a software issue | 13:58 |
| stefg | wyclif: one common problem is the dpi-settings not being right. win and osx use 96, x used to be 72, but iirc that changed to 96 in ubuntu already by default | 13:58 |
| Starnestommy | rufus: I think they allow the ports, but their policy says you can't run one | 13:58 |
| rufus | thanks | 13:58 |
| bazhang | rufus not really the right channel for that | 13:58 |
| IdleOne | rufus: they probably block but you can get around by port forwarding to 8080 or something like that | 13:58 |
| rufus | sorry | 13:58 |
| n2diy_ | stefg: roger that. No servers running here, the other box is this one's clone, and is my back up/test box. They're 1997 IBM Intellistations, with dual PII processors. They have worn out there fare share of mice, keyboards, and hard drives. | 13:58 |
| amerio | bazhang if its a limitation of my graphic card then it would take 1 minute to load from ALT+F2 but as soon as I type compiz --replace in window , it loads too fast | 13:58 |
| Blu_Ciccio | no one can help? where programs in ubuntu store their inter. file and how can update this file? | 13:59 |
| bazhang | amerio: try metacity --replace in the run command window--does that do anything? | 13:59 |
| opera-user | hi | 13:59 |
| stefg | !software | Blu_Ciccio | 14:00 |
| ubotu | Blu_Ciccio: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 14:00 |
| amerio | bazhang yeah metacity worked | 14:00 |
| amerio | Forsakensoul I dont know mate , google it | 14:00 |
| bazhang | amerio: not really sure what the big issue is here--could you get some coffee or something while compiz loads? :} | 14:00 |
| Blu_Ciccio | er... I just looked there in the past but channels like !software can't help me! | 14:01 |
| Forsakensoul | amerio yeah i found it in google in a bg forum | 14:01 |
| amerio | bazhang well it doesnt matter if it takes long time to load , but after login there is no windows borders and I need to wait for a minute for compiz 2 load so the windows borders appear again | 14:01 |
| bazhang | Blu_Ciccio: when you say inter file what do you mean precisely? | 14:01 |
| bazhang | amerio: in ccsm there is a plugin called window decorations or some such--have you tried to enable that? | 14:02 |
| amerio | Forsakensoul I told u , it only works here with english subtitle but i didnt figure it out how 2 make it work with my native lang too | 14:02 |
| Blu_Ciccio | bazhang: sorry, "internalization" file for change the language of the program ;) | 14:02 |
| bazhang | amerio: failing that, you might want to ask the experts in #compiz-fusion | 14:03 |
| bazhang | Blu_Ciccio: the language localization file you mean? | 14:03 |
| n2diy_ | Anybody playing with Sabre? I installed it, and when I run it from the CLI I get "Cannot get I/O permissions", when I run it as sudo, I get "command not found"? | 14:03 |
| amerio | bazhang its enabled but even if its enabled or not , since compiz take too much time 2 load it wont work before loading compiz itself | 14:03 |
| amerio | bazhang experts in compiz fusion adviced me to ask here lol | 14:04 |
| bazhang | Blu_Ciccio: you want to change the system wide language? not sure what you want to do there | 14:04 |
| Blu_Ciccio | bazhang: yes exactly (bad english, damn :( ) | 14:04 |
| wyclif | thanks ubotu, just grabbed msttcorefonts for the web | 14:04 |
| stefg | !uboto | wyclif | 14:04 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about uboto - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:04 |
| Blu_Ciccio | bazhang: nope, I want to update my compiled language file for the program | 14:04 |
| stefg | !ubotu | wyclif | 14:04 |

| amerio | bazhang maybe its something with session priority? | 14:05 |
| bsod2 | hi, i have opengl 2.0 under an ati driver (google earth works accelerated) but i cant enable compiz desktop effects (/me on ubuntu guty) | 14:05 |
| bazhang | amerio: heh; well that is a limitation of compiz then :} I tend to keep it off and go for less memory hungry things like gdesklets--not really sure how to help any more at this point | 14:05 |
| IdleOne | bazhang: he is trying to translate zenety to italian. seems he has but cant seem to update the app with the new translation file | 14:05 |
| bazhang | amerio: could well be | 14:05 |
| amerio | bazhang : how to change sessions priorities? | 14:05 |
| bazhang | IdleOne: cheers! | 14:06 |

| stefg | !ask | vrkhans | 14:07 |
| ubotu | vrkhans: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 14:07 |
| amerio | bazhang anyway thanx mate :) | 14:07 |

| Starnestommy | vrkhans: what script is it? | 14:08 |

| vrkhans | stefg : you know anything about how to use script http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54261&highlight=batch+convert+images | 14:09 |
| IdleOne | hehe i was just thinking " give it a minute " lol | 14:09 |

| bazhang | haha | 14:09 |

| vrkhans | in the same directory or some where else | 14:11 |
| Jafet | Is it normal to have gcc not working on a default 6.10 install? | 14:11 |
| Starnestommy | vrkhans: the same one, I think | 14:11 |
| IdleOne | bazhang: I am not pretending to have any clue here but I think that there is probably a config where he needs to add a line telling the app to use the italian file from the specific path. wild guess | 14:11 |
| Starnestommy | Jafet: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 14:11 |
| victorneo | Jafet: You may need the build-essential package | 14:12 |
| vrkhans | starnestommy so i can use the wild card * | 14:12 |

| arken0493 | Can someone tell me what supergrub does? | 14:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arken0493: It reads the disks and tries to guess your grub config and repair it.. very hit or miss | 14:19 |
| DRebellion | DOOM_NX: sudo apt-get mplayer | 14:20 |
| arken0493 | oh. well, I need help because I want to boot from two different drives... | 14:20 |
| wyclif | arken0493 supergrub creates a bootable CD or floppy for recovery | 14:20 |

| DOOM_NX | DRebellion, i already have a version of MPlayer installed | 14:21 |

| wyclif | arken0493 http://freshmeat.net/projects/supergrub/ | 14:23 |
| arken0493 | We've already been over what supergrub is.... | 14:23 |
| wyclif | well, apparently you can do all that. | 14:23 |
| n2diy_ | ruminator: this 1997 era hardware, what I've found on the web indicates it's resolution as 1152 X 684? | 14:24 |
| ruminator | sounds about right, and it's definitely SVGA | 14:25 |
| arken0493 | Well I'll try it and see what happens | 14:25 |
| wyclif | it works by editing menu.lst | 14:25 |

| root_ | Anyone who can help me? 2 problems, when i login i see that my session only lasted less then 10 seconds, here is the errors file: http://www.pastebin.ca/866279 and the system bars, ie bars at bottom and top are gone, even tried failsafe and default gnome, but no use... | 14:52 |
| sysop | Ough! I forgot about virtual box!!! | 14:52 |
| ConstyXIV | so unless you wanted to run pre-production stuff or install the drivers yourself... | 14:52 |
| sysop | Jack_Sparrow: could Virtual Box be the cause? | 14:52 |
| bazhang | debian feisty sysop? | 14:52 |
| _Dbug_ | ConstyXIV, it's what, every 6 month or something ? Next should be around march ? I guess I will give up trying to install the stuff myself. I spend half my sunday trying to restore from one broken x to another broken x :) | 14:53 |
| sysop | bazhang: What? i dont know what you are asking??? | 14:53 |
| bazhang | sysop: the virtual box source is debian feisty in your sources list | 14:53 |
| danbhfive | _Dbug_: next version is 8.04 which is the date of the release too | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sysop: I was going to ask you about that... | 14:54 |
| * _Dbug_ feels stupid. Never realised that the distro name was the release date :( | 14:54 | |
| sysop | bazhang: yes, I added that to install from the ubuntu web page | 14:54 |
| sandr- | root_: "Could not create gnome accelerators directory `/home/shoaibi/.gnome2/accels': Permission denied " looks like a permission error ... have you tried going recovery mode and giving yourself access to your whole homedir | 14:54 |
| bazhang | debian has feisty? that must be what is causing the errors sysop | 14:54 |
| root_ | sandr-, i even tried by setting all permission to 777 | 14:55 |
| root_ | sandr-, i changed the owner and group as well | 14:55 |

| Pelo | Innomen, there is aproblem with the flash package in the repos, get the tar from the adobe site | 16:25 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ : hey ... can you give me a help? i just messed up my graphics | 16:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | !alternate | Shadow98 of course, some pc's just can't use the live CD for whatever reason, thats why there's this | 16:25 |
| ubotu | Shadow98 of course, some pc's just can't use the live CD for whatever reason, thats why there's this: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal | 16:25 |
| rodrigo | ok... anyone knows if theres a autodetect graphics that work? | 16:25 |
| Shadow98 | Question would this make a difference I did get the alt cd to do a complete install and said install completed reboot and that disk was burned at 10x | 16:26 |
| Innomen | well that was disappointingly final | 16:26 |
| tumbleweed__ | rodrigo : what happened? | 16:26 |
| Innomen | x86 only | 16:26 |
| Innomen | is there a way to get flash on an i386 machine? | 16:26 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ : i just updated the drivers for nvidia card... and ended up with a vesa generic and plug and play screen... im on 640x800 | 16:27 |
| PurpZeY | Innomen: Install the tar from the adobe website....At least that's what I thought. | 16:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shadow98: don't understand what you're saying... | 16:27 |
| tumbleweed__ | oh | 16:27 |
| tumbleweed__ | dunno what to say | 16:27 |
| tumbleweed__ | :/ | 16:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | Shadow98: the thing is, burning slower is always better. | 16:27 |
| Innomen | PurpZeY: i thought ubuntu was debs | 16:27 |
| tumbleweed__ | maybe someone else can help | 16:27 |

| Slasher | hey, does anyone know a way to kill a sleeping process through a terminal (if it's even possible) | 16:27 |
| === Curly99 is now known as Curly00 | ||
| Starnestommy | Slasher: the kill command? | 16:28 |
| manju | quit | 16:28 |
| Innomen | oky brb | 16:28 |
| PurpZeY | Innomen: But the package is broken right now. So, I believe the "fix" method of installing is using the tar of adobes website | 16:28 |
| filthpig | §flash | 16:28 |
| justinmiller87 | kill <processname> | 16:28 |
| manju | exit | 16:28 |
| filthpig | !flash | 16:28 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:28 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ : the thing is... the graphics and screen on gnome should work by the trial and error... but i just cant fix it... is there any way i can autodetect? like first install | 16:28 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 16:28 |
| PurpZeY | |!flash | Innomen | 16:28 |
| Slasher | well actually i have a bunch of sleeping processes and i want to kill them all | 16:28 |

| Innomen | 7.1 i belive | 16:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | mred: doesn't look like it. | 16:38 |
| bkar | so if i have one app covering the whole page, i can not alt+tab to my xterm | 16:39 |
| PurpZeY | bkar: Sounds like you might just want to restart compiz, right click on the blue arrow in your notification area and write "restart windows manager" | 16:39 |
| johndyer | bkar: that worked, sort of. How can I make it so I login the same desktop I have upstairs? | 16:40 |
| bkar | PurpZeY-> am not that high tech, i dont have 3d video..hehe | 16:40 |
| PurpZeY | bkar: I take that back...;)... | 16:40 |
| Innomen | well i'll ask again later thanx guys :) | 16:40 |
| bkar | johndyer i have this problem because i did use gnome-session so be careful | 16:40 |
| PurpZeY | bkar: You could do dpkg-reconfigure but, that will reset all of the settings...rather invasive. | 16:40 |
| bkar | PurpZeY-> i have a copy of my old xorg.conf i reloaded it already | 16:41 |
| johndyer | bkar: have what problem, just got into chan, didnt see your original issue | 16:41 |
| bkar | what command to reconfigure desktop? mine has gone whacko, I can not alt+tab to switch windows and windows are locked in one position.. | 16:41 |
| bkar | so if i have one app covering the whole page, i can not alt+tab to my xterm | 16:41 |
| bkar | that johndyer | 16:41 |
| PurpZeY | bkar: If you want to do it, it's sudo dpkg-reconfigure (I am 99% positive) | 16:42 |
| johndyer | ah, I see, well I think I just messed something up. I started gnome with gnome seesion but then I closed the terminal widow that I spawned that from and now I just have a wall paper | 16:42 |
| pipehh | Anyone know if I can install the cube if I have this video card VIA/S3G? | 16:42 |
| mred | hmm what does this mean dpkg-source: unrepresentable changes to source | 16:42 |
| bkar | PurpZeY-> i may just have to, but I suspect this is related to gnome session, i was remoted in and use gnome-session | 16:42 |
| PurpZeY | bkar: Got it. | 16:43 |
| ubuntu_ | any | 16:43 |
| bkar | am screwed, i can not move any windows around, nor alt+tab to switch | 16:44 |
| Starnestommy | bkar: using compiz or metacity> | 16:45 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ Ã: hey... it did fix the keyboard... but not the graphics... what was that command again? I'd like to give it a second go.... | 16:45 |
| bkar | Starnestommy-> i believe metacity | 16:45 |
| tumbleweed__ | try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 16:45 |
| tumbleweed__ | :) | 16:45 |
| rodrigo | thanks | 16:45 |
| tumbleweed__ | also | 16:45 |
| tumbleweed__ | make sure to choose the nvidia driver | 16:46 |
| tumbleweed__ | not nv | 16:46 |
| Starnestommy | bkar: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure metacity | 16:46 |
| bkar | sorry if i missed your posting tome I can only see like two lines this of overlapping windows I have | 16:46 |
| tumbleweed__ | if you get a choice at all | 16:46 |

| Moduliz0r | Can I add an array in a string, like $cakefactory_address = "Cake and $my_array['32'] are cool"; ? | 16:47 |
| bkar | tumbleweed__-> i had nv all along on my xorg.conf. | 16:47 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ : I keep choosing nvidia.... theres 2 different there... one that just says nvidia and one that has all the nvidia cards (geforce, legacy...) | 16:47 |
| Starnestommy | Moduliz0r: which language? | 16:47 |
| tumbleweed__ | yeah | 16:47 |
| Moduliz0r | PHP | 16:47 |
| tumbleweed__ | actually | 16:47 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ Ã: but i remember that my origibal settings where "nvidia" only | 16:47 |
| tumbleweed__ | just sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 16:48 |
| wyclif | ok, just tried Pidgin. not sure why entered IM text keeps jumping up and down or wiggling as I type. what causes that? | 16:48 |
| Starnestommy | Moduliz0r: I think so | 16:48 |
| tumbleweed__ | change it manually | 16:48 |
| tumbleweed__ | ;/ | 16:48 |
| Moduliz0r | Thanks, i think ill go ask in ##php :P | 16:48 |
| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ : do you think? | 16:48 |
| johndyer | what do I do if I closed the terminal window in VNC after I started gnome. I have no way to do anything other then ssh'ing into the box butI dont know what to kill | 16:48 |
| tumbleweed__ | yeah | 16:48 |
| PurpZeY | wyclif: If no one here knows ask in #pidgin ....Maybe someone here does know, but if not. . | 16:48 |

| Blaise69 | hello | 17:05 |
| Kopfgeldjaeger | hi | 17:05 |
| Blaise69 | Can anyone help me with installing Flash player 9 | 17:05 |
| Blaise69 | please | 17:05 |
| wyclif | Rafase_282 how about BitchX? | 17:05 |
| filthpig | Rafase_282, depends on taste, but I'm using LostIRC and quite happy with it. Otherwise you have xchat | 17:05 |
| ikonia | Blaise69: what's the problem | 17:05 |
| brobostigon | !flash | Blaise69 | 17:05 |
| ubotu | Blaise69: 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 | 17:05 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 17:05 |
| Blaise69 | yes it's broken, so I downloaded the tar myself | 17:06 |
| Blaise69 | but I'm having trouble using Terminal | 17:06 |
| Arelis | Help! I screwed up Compiz Fusion's settings, and now i can't login to ubuntu anymore. How do i reset compiz's configuration? | 17:06 |
| Blaise69 | When it asks me to put in the installation path of mozilla | 17:07 |
| jawee | any ideas? I'd like to get this under way.... | 17:07 |
| brobostigon | Blaise69: what the problem with terminal you are having?? | 17:07 |
| Blaise69 | I can't set the path correctly | 17:07 |
| Blaise69 | if I use /usr/lib/mozilla | 17:07 |
| bkar | am still stuck with unmovable windows, and cant alt+tab either, i have already done dpkg-reconfigure, however if I am remoted in via ssh -X on same host, I can move windows around and alt_tab | 17:07 |
| Blaise69 | it returns please enter a valid path | 17:07 |
| Joe_ | Arelis: easy way, goto console and uninstall compiz, or manually change settings | 17:08 |
| === cE_cRi_tMn is now known as Co_Lunar | ||
| bkar | Blaise69-> you tried ~/.mozilla ? | 17:08 |
| Joe_ | Arelis: have you tried using the recovery mode option when you start up the computer? | 17:08 |
| jack-desktop | how can i remap my mouse buttons and what they do? | 17:08 |
| Arelis | Joe_: .... err, is there a recovery mode? | 17:08 |

| jion | Hello.. can anyone help me to remove the kernel module of virtualbox-ose? I remove vb whit apt-get remove, but the kernel module has not been removed.. | 17:09 |
| Joe_ | arelis: Do you see the grub menu when you start your computer? | 17:09 |
| jack-desktop | Blaise69, you added an extra /~/ | 17:09 |
| Arelis | Joe_: yes | 17:09 |
| Blaise69 | yes | 17:09 |
| Joe_ | arelis: second one should say something like Ubuntu....(Recovery Mode) | 17:09 |
| Blaise69 | sorry, I'm lost, what exactly should I type? | 17:09 |
| Arelis | Joe_: what happens when i login to that? | 17:09 |
| bkar | Blaise69-> your /home/alexander/.mozilla == ~/.mozilla | 17:09 |
| jack-desktop | Blaise69, if you're trying to get to your mozilla directly, type "cd ~/.mozilla" | 17:09 |
| andi5 | jion: you can search the package name via `dpkg-query -S /lib/modules/.../...ko` ... maybe that helps | 17:10 |
| Joe_ | arelis: should bring you into Ubuntu with minimal things running, ie no compiz | 17:10 |
| dennda | Is it possible to change the style of trackers gnome-applet? (I don't want it to open a seperate window but use the in-panel thing. Just like it was before gutsy final.) like this: http://tinyurl.com/36qbt8 | 17:10 |
| CharlieSu | I installed libtorrent and rtorrent from apt-get and then through SVN.. SVN didn't work and now I want to go back to apt-get version but my attempts have failed.. How can I force something 'installed' to reinstall forcefully with all dependencies? | 17:10 |
| Blaise69 | ok | 17:10 |
| daxro1 | Hi all | 17:10 |
| Blaise69 | I'm typing "~/.mozilla" and I get the following warning | 17:10 |
| jawee | I basically cannot resize an NTFS partition without it throwing an error | 17:10 |
| Joe_ | arelis: And you can then disable Compiz from the apperance menu. Another option is to use CTRL-F1 after the system starts up and get a command line, and then do things by hand(I don't know the commands for compiz, you'll have to google that) | 17:10 |

| bkar | am still stuck with unmovable windows, and cant alt+tab either, i have already done dpkg-reconfigure, however if I am remoted in via ssh -X on same host, I can move windows around and alt_tab , what does gnome-session do when executed from remote ? | 17:11 |
| daxro1 | Is the rtl8187 module buggy on 64bit ? It randomly drops connection | 17:11 |
| andi5 | CharlieSu: did you specify a prefix for installation when you compiled from SVN? is everything put into /usr/local? ... maybe `make uninstall` works for that package | 17:11 |
| Starnestommy | Blaise69: use /home/alexander/.mozilla in place of ~/.mozilla | 17:11 |
| jack-desktop | Blaise69, type "cd ~/.mozilla" | 17:11 |

| Blaise69 | yes but I'm not actually in the file browser, I'm running flashplayer-installer | 17:11 |
| bkar | Starnestommy-> what was that command you told me earlier? dpkg-reconfigure metacity ? that did not invoke anything it seems | 17:12 |
| Blaise69 | It's asking me for the directory of my mozilla folder | 17:12 |
| andi5 | daxro1: i see those warning when running `dmesg` as well.... i simply unload the module, unplug the stick, plug it again and reload squid... happens once a week or so | 17:12 |
| Starnestommy | bkar: try sudo aptitude reinstall metacity | 17:12 |
| Blaise69 | which is outside of my home | 17:12 |
| jack-desktop | Blaise69, oh, just type ".mozilla" it seems to add your home folder for you. | 17:12 |

| Blaise69 | yep. it's always adding my home | 17:12 |
| jack-desktop | it should be just in /alexander/ not /Downloads/ | 17:13 |
| CharlieSu | andi5: it isn't in /usr/local. i did make uninstall.. how how do i install apt version? | 17:13 |
| Joe_ | Blaise69: You trying to install the adobe flash plugin? | 17:13 |

| Tilllinux | funny. netbeans is working with the icedtea java jdk | 17:13 |
| Blaise69 | joe, bkar, yes I'm running it from the downloadable tar off their site | 17:13 |
| syntaxerror55 | What library do I need to use the qmake command? | 17:13 |
| andi5 | CharlieSu: sudo apt-get install compiz | 17:13 |
| Blaise69 | as the assisted method doesn't work | 17:13 |
| bkar | Starnestommy-> do you know what gnome-session does from a remote login? i can move windows and alt+tab from it, but im am logged in locally I cant move any windows nor alt+tab | 17:13 |
| CharlieSu | why compiz? i'm talking about rtorrent and libtorrent | 17:13 |
| Joe_ | blaise69: So you're running flash<whatver>-installer ? | 17:14 |
| Blaise69 | yep | 17:14 |
| Blaise69 | and its asking for my mozilla directory | 17:14 |
| andi5 | syntaxerror55: have you tried to type `qmake` in a terminal? it should give you names of packages that contain this binary... i suppose libqt4-dev or qt3-dev-tools, whatever you prefer | 17:14 |
| Joe_ | Blaise69 trying to isntall it for firefox? | 17:14 |
| Blaise69 | is there a symbol for the root? | 17:14 |
| Blaise69 | yes for firefox | 17:14 |
| Joe_ | have you run firefox at all | 17:15 |
| daxro1 | andi5: what warnings ? I can connect fine just drops connection and does not reconnect times out. | 17:15 |
| bsod2 | armine, i did what was on the wiki and now i get this error from compiz --replace -> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3712/ | 17:15 |
| Blaise69 | no | 17:15 |
| Blaise69 | it's closed | 17:15 |
| Joe_ | Blaise69 but you have run it at least once? | 17:15 |
| Blaise69 | yes before | 17:15 |
| syntaxerror55 | andi5, I tried, it said qmake is not a command. | 17:16 |
| Starnestommy | syntaxerror55: sudo apt-get install qmake? | 17:16 |
| Joe_ | blaise69: odd that it didn't autodetect it, did for me. Try giving it /home/<your user name>/.mozilla | 17:16 |
| CharlieSu | andi5: worked.. thanks | 17:16 |
| andi5 | daxro1: hm... maybe you see another bug then | 17:16 |

| andi5 | daxro1: i guess that will work | 17:17 |
| Starnestommy | daxro1: I'm using a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system | 17:17 |
| Joe_ | blaise69 in your home directory do you see the directory .mozilla ? Might need to goto View -> Show Hidden | 17:17 |
| Blaise69 | thanks | 17:17 |
| Blaise69 | no! | 17:17 |
| bsod2 | armine: in short the problem compiz has is that my driver does not support GL_texture_from_pixmap | 17:18 |
| Joe_ | No? | 17:18 |
| Blaise69 | there is no /mozilla directory | 17:18 |
| daxro1 | Starnestommy: what driver ? | 17:18 |
| Joe_ | .mozilla | 17:18 |
| armine | aw okay it is possible | 17:18 |
| Starnestommy | daxro1: the one for a linksys wmp54g | 17:18 |

| Blaise69 | ah | 17:18 |
| Blaise69 | yes :D | 17:18 |
| Blaise69 | I do when I show hidden | 17:18 |
| armine | im not very involved in graphics hardware/programming etc. but it can be | 17:18 |
| Blaise69 | pardon me | 17:18 |
| Joe_ | blaise69: ok, just making sure it's there | 17:18 |
| daxro1 | Starnestommy: you have a guide or know of one ? | 17:18 |
| bsod2 | armine: yeah well looks like a case of 'bad luck' for me :) | 17:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ~/.mozilla should be the directory | 17:19 |
| Blaise69 | maybe I should move these files? | 17:19 |
| Blaise69 | out fo the downloads folder | 17:19 |
| Blaise69 | what does "~" do? | 17:19 |
| Starnestommy | Blaise69: ~ is an alias for /home/username | 17:20 |
| Joe_ | ~ means home | 17:20 |
| armine | home dir | 17:20 |
| Joe_ | blaise69: So you run the flashplayer-installer, press enter, and then what does it show you? | 17:20 |
| bkar | where do one configure xwindows locked in one position of the desktop? and also alt+tab dont work on my desktop ? | 17:20 |
| MasterShrek | Blaise69, ~ stands for /home/<user> for whatever user you are logged in as | 17:20 |
| andi5 | unless it is used as ~whoever, which maps to the home directory of the user named whoever :-) | 17:20 |
| Blaise69 | when I do sudo ./flashplayer-installer | 17:20 |
| matttis | how do i search in my installed packages ? | 17:20 |
| Joe_ | blaise69 you aren't running it as root, or doing sudo are you? | 17:20 |

| Blaise69 | says press Enter | 17:20 |
| Joe_ | blaise69 don't do sudo | 17:20 |
| Blaise69 | then please close browsers | 17:20 |

| Blaise69 | yes it haz | 17:21 |
| Blaise69 | *has | 17:21 |
| bkar | jawee-> im not even aware ubuntu disk partitioner can resize ntfs partitions | 17:21 |
| MasterShrek | jawee, resizing partitions is always dangerous, any chance you have a different option? like backing up your data and reinstalling? | 17:21 |
| Joe_ | that's where you want it, should be ok now | 17:21 |
| Blaise69 | right | 17:22 |

| andi5 | eugman: emacs? | 17:23 |
| jawee | hmm.. :\ | 17:23 |
| Joe_ | blaise69 odd... start up firefox and see if it works? | 17:23 |

| Blaise69 | any good with installing ATi X1900 drivers? | 17:24 |
| incorrect | windows is only good for games | 17:24 |
| WNxCryptic | I've installed vsftpd but when I type in "/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart" the normal prompts that say "stopping service" and "starting service" don't come up. Instead it simply goes back to the terminal prompt. | 17:24 |
| Joe_ | blasie69: Not I, I use Nvidia atm though my next computer will use ATI | 17:24 |
| WNxCryptic | Gah, Ati... | 17:24 |
| Blaise69 | I would recommend not getting ATi | 17:24 |
| Joe_ | incorrect: If you download the .tar from the adobe site for flash and run it's installer you'll get it working without a problem | 17:24 |
| Flughafen | can somebody help me with qdvdauthor? | 17:25 |
| Blaise69 | in all seriousness, even if it were for a windows machine | 17:25 |
| Joe_ | blaise69: Their latest cards look pretty good, and if they do as they say and open up the drivers things will only get better | 17:25 |
| andi5 | eugman: hm... i learned emacs first and would suggest that, because i think it gives you more in the long run ... vi is useful if you plan to login into a lot of different / server machines someday... but hey, that is a topic for flamewars :) | 17:25 |
| Joe_ | andi5: Nano ftw! | 17:25 |
| jawee | How much space do I need for an Ubuntu install? there is a 1572MB system partition I can use for now | 17:25 |

| andi5 | cat Blasise69 | tee code.adobe.com | 17:26 |

| eugen | Starnestommy: okay thank you | 17:27 |
| matttis | Joe_: is there a shell command too ? | 17:27 |
| Joe_ | blaise69: Problaby will take a little while... but I can hope soon | 17:27 |
| Joe_ | mattis: apt-cache search? | 17:27 |
| bsod2 | so what the hell are ati waiting for to make their xxx drivers open source? | 17:27 |
| matttis | Joe_: well no | 17:27 |
| Joe_ | mattis: installed ones.. dpkg handles everything you installed | 17:27 |

| matttis | d | 17:30 |
| andi5 | incorrect: hm... depends on what you need... it works perfectly for me for i think 18 months or so | 17:30 |
| igge | MasterShrek: thanks | 17:30 |
| Joe_ | mattis: Np, I used that just a few days ago when I trashed my system and had to reinstall... made life much easier when trying to remember what I had installed | 17:30 |
| mular | ok I think my problem is related to losing my master mixer for my soundcard.. Would a creative audigy LS by default not have a Master Mixer? I think I remember it having something butI messed with some settings and I think a broke it what can I do? | 17:31 |
| incorrect | andi5, well if i want flash i have run the 32bit version of firefox | 17:31 |

| chimp | yer. my 64bit firefox is working fine with flash | 17:32 |
| Joe_ | flughafen I know how to author dvds via CLI if you want | 17:32 |

| Flughafen | Joe_, i just dont know what to put for the path to burn the dvd | 17:33 |

| Joe_ | flughafen /dev/dvd ? | 17:34 |
| Flughafen | Joe_, there is no dvd | 17:34 |
| Joe_ | said firefox/flash not working was one of the reasons I decided on 32bit, I was having issues getting things working with wine under 64bit as well | 17:34 |
| Flughafen | Joe, in dev | 17:34 |
| syntaxerror55 | Ubuntu 32bit > 64bit if you're trying to do anything :| | 17:34 |
| syntaxerror55 | I tried 64bit Dapper and it annoyed the hell out of me; I've used 32bit ever since | 17:35 |
| Joe_ | flughafen should be under /dev or /media | 17:35 |
| andi5 | Joe_: so you are using the i386 ubuntu packages, not just 32bit firefox? | 17:35 |
| incorrect | andi5, doesn't work for me | 17:35 |
| Flughafen | Joe_, my drives are under media, my blank dvd's do not get mounted to the drives. It says not mounted when i see the dvd properties | 17:36 |
| bahman | Hi everybody | 17:36 |
| Joe_ | andi5 yeah, completely 32bit Ubuntu | 17:36 |
| syntaxerror55 | bahman, hi | 17:36 |
| Flughafen | Joe_ when i put in a dvd with stuff on it it goes to media | 17:36 |
| chimp | To be honest i havent had any issues with 64 bit except flash, but that works now | 17:36 |
| matttis | Joe_: dpkg -l | grep "^ii" seems even better | 17:36 |
| Joe_ | Mattis: yeah, if you want to search, heh | 17:36 |
| Joe_ | flughafen where do blank ones get mounted then? | 17:37 |
| Aicryac | hey you guys, i have ubuntu 7.10 running and of course it is on apache 2.2.4 right now, i saw apache 2.2.8 came out not to long ago and want to give it a shot but couldn't find config.nice file to play with, can anyone help me out on that? :) | 17:37 |
| Flughafen | Joe_ it says "not mounted" | 17:37 |
| Joe_ | flughafen might be a dumb question, but you sure you have a dvd burner? | 17:38 |
| Flughafen | Joe_ hah yea | 17:38 |

| _Andrew | Question, I have an application running on port 3389 and when I test if it is open on a website it says connection refused. I think it is Ubuntu.. Is there a command to open a port I can try so I can test again and see if it is Ubuntu? | 17:39 |

| KrisWood | Joe: maybe a little longer, depending on problems if any arise :D | 17:42 |

| rodrigo | tumbleweed__ : so thanks man.... thanks again | 17:45 |
| Joe_ | bahman you backed up the actual packages that were downloaded? | 17:45 |
| Joe_ | armine no it isn't, download from adobe directly | 17:45 |
| armine | ok | 17:46 |
| armine | mmmh but i can still download the package | 17:46 |
| xxpor | hey, Im getting an error when I'm trying to do a package update | 17:46 |
| xxpor | There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was an error downloading some packages or a commit would break packages. | 17:46 |
| reportingsjr | How, in the networkmanager application can I make it so it will only connect to one certain network, or just block out a certain network? | 17:46 |
| armine | Joe_ : there is a package right? | 17:46 |
| armine | i found one on the web working... | 17:46 |
| tumbleweed__ | rodrigo : no prob | 17:46 |
| bahman | Joe_ Yeah, I backup packages with "APTonCD" | 17:46 |
| Joe_ | armine there is a package in there, but it's broken. adobe.com has a tar you can download and then run the flashplayer-installer that comes in the tar and you'll be good | 17:47 |
| armine | okay | 17:47 |
| bahman | Joe_ Also I'm a new user of Ubuntu :) | 17:47 |
| armine | but does it work in 64bits? | 17:47 |
| Joe_ | bahman if they actual packages are in there you should be able to just run them and dpkg will install them... or I believe there is a setting in Synaptic Package Manager to tell it to look at a DVD/CD first | 17:47 |
| === W6JCN is now known as TheMaster | ||

| armine | this one | 17:49 |
| Joe_ | _Andrew your router probably isn't forwarding that port to your computer correctly | 17:49 |
| Methos_ | howdy | 17:49 |
| bahman | Joe_ Really thanks, in Synaptic Package Manager we could see ADD CD-ROM... in EDIT menu :D | 17:49 |
| DAddYE | Any have never tried mondorescue? Is normal that for making catalog spent over than 1 hour? My filelist.full is 200mb it's normal? | 17:49 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: I thought that so I changed the port (so that it breaks) and it says the connection timed out | 17:49 |
| bahman | Joe_ I love Ubuntu | 17:49 |
| Joe_ | bahman np | 17:49 |
| andi5 | _Andrew: `netstat -tln` will show you listening ports and on what devices they listen... i suppose you are separated from the internet by a router that das network address translation? :) | 17:49 |
| computerex | Is there a way to run compiz but have metacity be the window border decorator? | 17:50 |
| Joe_ | _Andrew you'll have to look at the documentation for your router(assuming the command andi5 gave you shows it's open) and see how to forward the port | 17:50 |
| computerex | Right now compiz --replace switches the decorator to emerald, and metacity --replace turns off compiz fusion | 17:50 |
| Methos_ | i was wondering if i could get some help with installing a driver, i'm pretty much in the dark about installing anything on linux, only using software when everything is working heh | 17:50 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: Thanks, I can see from the output that the port isn't open | 17:51 |
| hiffy | so, is it possible or recommendable to install ubuntu over software raid? | 17:51 |
| Joe_ | methos_ what driver? | 17:51 |
| Methos_ | my PCMCIA card isn't working, i have my old windows drivers for it but thats it, the manufacturers don't support linux | 17:51 |
| peepsalot | how can I pass a parameter to a module? | 17:52 |
| Methos_ | buffalo wireless card wli-cb-g54s | 17:52 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: Now I know the port isn't open.. how do I open it.. or do I have to change this program? | 17:52 |
| Joe_ | google for linux drivers for that... if you're lucky there is a free version that does support your card, if not... probably SOL | 17:52 |
| andi5 | peepsalot: while autoloading or manually? | 17:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hiffy: Possible ..yes.. I personally dont care for software raid.. | 17:52 |
| peepsalot | andi5, i'm not sure | 17:52 |
| andi5 | peepsalot: are you typing modprobe? | 17:52 |
| hiffy | Jack_Sparrow: I've got these two 40 gb drives sitting around. it's a shame to leave one idle | 17:53 |
| caithford | server irc.oftc.net | 17:53 |
| Methos_ | whats modprobe?, i'll give it a shot | 17:53 |
| liz_ | binder@hotmail.com | 17:53 |
| peepsalot | andi5, no, it's autoloadding on boot I suppose | 17:53 |
| Joe_ | _andrew if it isn't open on your router, you'll have to see how your router is configured(normally do ifconfig in terminal then goto the ip address listed as your gateway in a web browser) | 17:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hiffy: Use one for / root and the other for /home | 17:53 |
| hiffy | Jack_Sparrow: Hm. Hadn't thought of that. | 17:54 |
| peepsalot | andi5, for AC97 | 17:54 |
| Methos_ | sorry, nm, that question wasn't for me ll | 17:54 |
| andi5 | peepsalot: take a look at the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ ... they contain some good examples, ... then create an empty file in that directory, maybe "local" and add a corresponding options line | 17:54 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: It is being forwarded to this computer, but the connection is being refused because even though the program I am using says it is running on port xxxx when I entered the command you gave me it wasn't | 17:54 |
| Joe_ | _andrew ie if it says your gateway is 192.168.0.1 then you would put 192.168.0.1 in firefox and you should get a webpage that lets you configure port forwarding... if that doesn't work you'll have to check the manual for your router | 17:54 |
| gilnfld | hello | 17:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hiffy: I would split/artition the one into two 20's root and /var to keep dowloads seperate to simplify rebuilds.. | 17:54 |
| Joe_ | _andrew the netstat one? | 17:54 |
| computerex | Found the fix, switch to the gtk window decorator with : gtk-window-decorator --replace | 17:55 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: yup | 17:55 |
| Joe_ | _andrew if the netstat didn't list it... then whatever that program is didn't bind the port correctly... which port were you trying to bind? | 17:55 |
| gilnfld | i am having an issue firing up a KDE app, == dcopserver error and mime type errors. any ideas? | 17:55 |
| _Andrew | It doesn't show the port as listening.. infact it isn't listed | 17:55 |
| KrisWood | Joe_, sure seems like they're keeping you busy today :D | 17:55 |
| Methos_ | isn't there a way to extract the information in the .inf driver file that was for windows and modify it for linux? | 17:55 |
| hiffy | Jack_Sparrow: I'm the type to never touch /var, but I'm liking the /home being on a separate drive. I agree on the rebuild simplicity | 17:55 |
| Joe_ | KrisWood heh, I'm bored waiting for a meeting :P | 17:55 |
| nico666 | come si fa a caricare un addon in ubuntu??? | 17:55 |
| KrisWood | Joe_, ah yes, always fun :D | 17:56 |
| Joe_ | _andrew you trying to bind a port below 1024? | 17:56 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: 3389 | 17:56 |
| Joe_ | _andrew not sure then, not knowing the program you're using I could't tell you why it isn't binding properly... is it something you wrote or a program you downloaded? | 17:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hiffy: then dont creat sep /var but a sep partition for data and keep copy of /var/cache/apt/archives in there too | 17:56 |
| hiffy | Jack_Sparrow: so, why your distaste for software raid? | 17:56 |
| _Andrew | It's a server emulator | 17:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hiffy: I have had to recover and fix more than a few.. | 17:57 |
| peepsalot | andi5, so it doesn't really matter what file I put it in? | 17:57 |
| andi5 | _Andrew: but the program is running, right? ... check `ps faux | less` :) | 17:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hiffy: Softraid /winraid was nice when drives were really sloe ata33 and 66.. but with these new drives... not so much of an issue | 17:58 |
| andi5 | peepsalot: please add an own one so that package updates do not conflict with you changes (at least no merge is tried, but you will be asked questions (at least on the cli)) | 17:58 |
| hiffy | heh. | 17:58 |

| Joe_ | JinRoh: Heh, assumed by your name you knew Korean... JinRoh is the name of a company that makes Soju(traditional Korean rice wine) | 18:06 |
| kbrooks | Joe_, xchat is designed for gnome not kde | 18:07 |
| quittt | is someone here having problems with Debian Menu? | 18:07 |
| KrisWood | Joe_, JinRoh is also the name of an anime movie :) | 18:07 |
| kbrooks | Joe_, xchat-gnome is xchat with minimal configuration options | 18:07 |
| JinRoh | yes, it's from the anime :p | 18:07 |
| KrisWood | one of my fav anime of all time too :) | 18:07 |
| Joe_ | kbrooks oops, my bad... X-chat is still better IMO | 18:08 |
| andi5 | kbrooks: ah, interesting.... so it follows the idea to choose sensible defaults and reduce choices? | 18:08 |
| KrisWood | I like dark stuff that messes with my head hehe | 18:08 |
| peepsalot | zimon, at what time during boot does rc.local run? | 18:08 |
| Owleto | XChat 2.8.4, Peter Zelezny, is different from XChat (gnome)... think so | 18:08 |
| kbrooks | andi5, nod | 18:08 |
| hanophix33 | jack_sparrow: thanks | 18:08 |
| kbrooks | Owleto, yes | 18:08 |
| jv_ | Assid: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xgl_Troubleshooting#Gnome_Window_Decoration_Missing | 18:08 |
| jv_ | might work | 18:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hanophix33: I'll be back in a few. let me know if it worked or where you had a problem.. | 18:08 |
| brobostigon | i think xchat-gnome is a mod if the normal xchat | 18:08 |
| zimon | peepsalot, it's one of the last | 18:09 |
| jimmygoon | what? don't like sensible defaults? don't install it then... wth | 18:09 |
| cocox | guys, im trying to compile the latest iwl3945 driver and im receiving this output... could you please help me http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52797/ | 18:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hanophix33: I want to make that easy for users of ati pre9500 cards | 18:09 |
| andi5 | jimmygoon: was that a directed burst-out? :) | 18:09 |
| Joe_ | I like the default look of X-Chat over X-Chat Gnome personally | 18:09 |
| amish | HOW DO I VERIFY MY PUBLIC KEY ?? | 18:10 |
| JinRoh | hmm im trying xchat (just xchat) now, it seems nicer (color scheme, Im too lazy to change it in -gnome) | 18:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !caps > amish | 18:10 |
| JinRoh | btw, is there like a "Compiz-Fusion for Dummies" introductory guide? | 18:10 |
| JinRoh | I don't know exactly what I can do with it :) | 18:10 |
| Achoth | amish: Instead of using capital letters, explain what you mean | 18:11 |
| amish | when i run d update ... it says " W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 " | 18:11 |
| Joe_ | JinRoh: youTube? heh | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JinRoh: They have a whole channel just for you.. | 18:11 |
| _Andrew | Joe_: Thanks, I figured what the problem is. It's the program, I can forward other ports but not the one the program is working on. I'm going to go fix it now. later | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !compiz | 18:11 |
| dts | I am having a problem where thunderbird will not connect to SMTP servers. | 18:11 |
| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 18:11 |
| chimp | Is there anyway to see what ports ubuntu is listening on? | 18:11 |
| JinRoh | mmm well I do know what compiz does but I'd like some kind of guide to know what keys to press :D | 18:11 |
| jimmygoon | andi5, it was frustration with those bashing on gnome for having an app that provides defaults... I was annoyed because its dumb to fault gnome for that... just because someone makes an app doesn't mean its gnome specific (just because its NOT kxchat or w/e) and that there is still straight up xchat that can be configured... | 18:11 |
| dts | chimp netstat | 18:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dts: Verify the port it is using to connect.. No need for firewall changes, just the config in thunderbird | 18:12 |
| chimp | thanks | 18:12 |
| Joe_ | chimp netstat -L... bah I forget... andi5 knows off the top of his head | 18:12 |
| eugen | hello everybody | 18:12 |
| andi5 | chimp, Joe: netstat -tln ? :) | 18:12 |
| unperson | Hi, I'm trying to get my ubuntu laptop to use a wireless network that is being broadcast on a Mac (running OS X). The WEP key was set via a passphrase. How can I determine the hex key to give my laptop? Are there any programs that will tell me the correct key? I assume it's just some well known hash. | 18:12 |
| amish_ | how do i verify my public key ?? | 18:12 |
| Joe_ | andi5 that would be what I was looking for... need more coffee, brain slowing down :P | 18:13 |
| eugen | i have a problem | 18:13 |
| jimmygoon | andi5, not really though, I don't care enough and for the large part agree with the sentiment but still can't stand a lot about kde but thats just me so w/e :) | 18:13 |
| JinRoh | what fonts do you use in ubuntu? default fonts are ugly | 18:13 |
| andi5 | jimmygoon: :-D ... actually i prefer pidgin anyway ... ;-) | 18:13 |
| Mudkipz | pidgin ! | 18:13 |
| jimmygoon | andi5, ugh, for irc... mm, painful :( | 18:13 |
| eugen | i have download a kde | 18:13 |
| brobostigon | !pidgin | 18:13 |
| ubotu | pidgin is the new name for Gaim forced by AOL's legal dept. It is available in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), but not previous versions. See http://www.pidgin.im/index.php for more info. To install Pidgin please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallPidgin2.0 | 18:13 |
| Joe_ | pdgin is godly... except for IRC | 18:13 |
| amish_ | how do i verify my public key ?? | 18:13 |
| Mudkipz | Joe_... | 18:13 |
| Mudkipz | who would use pidgin for irc... c'mon | 18:14 |
| Elf_ | When I try to upgrade Dapper to 6.10 its want me to go all the way to 8.04 is there a way to fix this? | 18:14 |
| andi5 | jimmygoon: it works... i am not a hard core ircler, so it suffices for me | 18:14 |
| amish_ | when i update .. it says .." W: GPG error: http://packages.medibuntu.org gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EBC26B60C5A2783 | 18:14 |
| amish_ | " | 18:14 |
| jimmygoon | Mudkipz, andi5 does :D | 18:14 |
| Mudkipz | ew why? | 18:14 |
| bbby | i do, plays nice with mumbles | 18:14 |
| Joe_ | mudkipz heh I did for about a day while I was getting everything set up :P | 18:14 |
| amish_ | anyone there ?? | 18:14 |
| jimmygoon | andi5, to each his/her own | 18:14 |
| dts | Jack_Sparrow i tried every possible setting | 18:14 |
| andi5 | exactly | 18:14 |
| Mudkipz | ah I see | 18:14 |
| jimmygoon | amish_, you have to apt-key and add the gpg key for that repository | 18:14 |
| Mudkipz | I can't stand irc without the functionality of scripts and such | 18:14 |
| Joe_ | to each his own... but if you don't do things the way I do you're wrong! | 18:14 |
| Owleto | and... if I tried to install flash directly with firefox (on gutsy, 32bit) and it didn't worked, now, how much damage have I did? | 18:14 |
| jimmygoon | amish_, add this key: http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg | 18:14 |
| Joe_ | owleto you're fine, the repos are broke atm | 18:15 |
| jimmygoon | Owleto, "damage" likely none at all | 18:15 |
| amish_ | jimmygoon : how do i add ?? | 18:15 |
| jimmygoon | Joe_, still?! | 18:15 |
| Joe_ | owleto goto adobe.com and download the tar file for the flash plugin, then run the flashplayer-installer that comes wth it and you'll be fine | 18:15 |
| jimmygoon | !gpgkey | 18:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gpgkey - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:15 |
| JinRoh | what fonts do you use in ubuntu? default fonts are ugly | 18:15 |
| jimmygoon | !apt-key | 18:15 |

| peepsalot | i tried enable powersave mode for snd_ac97_codec, and now there is a wretched loud pop everytime a sound starts playing? is this to be expected. is that the price to pay for power saving? | 18:16 |

| amish_ | jimmygoon : thnx dude ... | 18:16 |
| jv_ | it does not show in gparted | 18:16 |
| Elf_ | If no one heard me Is there a way to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 instead of all the way to 8.04 like it wants me to???? | 18:16 |
| Darkmystere | Jack_Sparrow: Keep this link in Mind Also could u add a factoid for me?http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451011 | 18:16 |
| jimmygoon | it was broken liek a week and a half ago and then two days ago I saw a buch of stuff got broken in the 7.10 repos | 18:16 |
| Joe_ | jimmygoon I'd say a bit logner... I couldn't install it 2 weeks ago and had to do it manually frm adobe | 18:16 |
| jrib | Elf_: like what wants you toL | 18:17 |
| Darkmystere | Could Some 1 Add a factoid for me | 18:17 |
| jimmygoon | Joe_, ugh, thats... unacceptable, not that I can do anything about it | 18:17 |
| jrib | !ubotu > darkmystere (read the private message from ubotu) | 18:17 |
| Owleto | Joe_: ..Have I damaged something whilw trying do install directly from Firefox? Must I deistall something? | 18:17 |
| Joe_ | jimmygoon if there's a painless way to do it, guess it isn't a priority | 18:17 |
| Elf_ | gksudo "update-manager -c -d " want to install 8.04 | 18:17 |
| jrib | !upgrade > elf_ (read the private message from ubotu) | 18:18 |
| chimp | If using for example irssi in the terminal, the problem i have is it doesnt look distinctive in the task bar thing, so i dont know it represents irc is there anything that helps with this? | 18:18 |
| Joe_ | owleto no, you're ok if you tried to install the adobe plugin from in firefox | 18:18 |
| Owleto | jimmygoon, joe: thanks | 18:18 |
| Joe_ | owleto just goto adobe.com and download the tar file, then close firefox and run the installer and when you start up firefix you'll have flash! | 18:18 |
| Darkmystere | jrid: I found a factoid that needs to be added for Toshiba Sattilite A105 Series that has the sound card:ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01), And having sound problems | 18:18 |
| jrib | Elf_: though it would probably be faster for you to just reinstall and do 7.10 (current stable). No real point in going to 6.10 since support is ending in a couple of months | 18:19 |

| KrisWood | Kungen354646, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DrawingTabletConfiguration | 18:35 |
| Kungen354646 | ah i bet wacom is easier to install | 18:35 |
| lukasz | sudo SH file.run | 18:35 |
| jv_ | SD anyone | 18:35 |
| Blaise | yeah I've read the wiki, nickrud | 18:35 |
| XBehave | ballongen: well im not sure if the beryl extention is in compiz fusion, but if you want find a working fps extention at the compiz fusion forum then it can be installed | 18:35 |
| lukasz | I have PowerShotSD870 IS | 18:35 |
| zhobbs | Joe_, yeah | 18:35 |
| KrisWood | Kungen354646, it was easy to install and a pain in the arse to configure | 18:35 |
| xiven | Don't I have to use my ISP's DNs server's? | 18:35 |
| nickrud | Blaise: That wiki works fine, I've used it for several versions now | 18:35 |
| Joe_ | zhobbs if glxgears shows up on both monitors... then you should be fine... | 18:35 |
| lukasz | I dunno how to use it on Ubuntu thought | 18:36 |
| jimmygoon | http://i30.tinypic.com/2r7lcn7.jpg is really really a big problem | 18:36 |
| KrisWood | Kungen354646, I spent several hours tweaking the various settings to get it to function the way it does in windows | 18:36 |
| ballongen | XBehave: ok, just thought that there were an "view-fps-gnome" package or something, ok :) | 18:36 |
| zhobbs | yeah, if I drag video to secondary monitor it is all green lines and crap | 18:36 |
| nickrud | Blaise: ah, are you sure you're in the right directory? | 18:36 |
| lukasz | sudo SH ati driver name.run | 18:36 |
| Blaise | I'm in the directory the file is in, yes | 18:36 |
| Joe_ | zhobbs but if you start it on that monitor does it do the same thing? | 18:36 |
| Filled-Void | KrisWood, You mgiht want to check out http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ | 18:36 |
| Blaise | might it be a faulty file? | 18:36 |
| agresor | anyone know some cool docks ? | 18:36 |
| lukasz | then sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 18:37 |
| zhobbs | Joe_, if I start it on the monitor it won't even play if I drag it to the primary monitor | 18:37 |
| Joe_ | zhobbs for me if I start a movie on a monitor and drag it to one that's on another card it doesn't always work, but if I start i ton the other card it works fine | 18:37 |
| lukasz | and add fglrxinfo somewhere dunno where | 18:37 |
| lukasz | oops add flgrx | 18:37 |
| lukasz | FGLRX | 18:37 |
| Filled-Void | agresor, I use AWn but yuo could use SImdock also theres quite a few if I recall correctly. | 18:37 |
| XBehave | ballongen: tbh i didnt think of that there may be such a package | 18:37 |
| Joe_ | zhobbs you sure both cards are fully supported by the driver you're using? | 18:37 |
| Blaise | what does SH do? | 18:37 |
| zhobbs | Joe_, yeah, video won't work at all on secondary | 18:37 |
| ballongen | ah, the compiz fusin benchmark works fine, heh thanks | 18:37 |
| zhobbs | Joe_, only using 1 card | 18:37 |
| Blaise | ah, I didn't do that, my bad | 18:37 |
| nickrud | Blaise: could be, but try chmod u+x && ./ati---.run | 18:37 |
| Blaise | I notice it in the wiki now | 18:37 |
| KrisWood | Filled-Void, nah, my intuos3 is happily back on my windows box along with all my other graphics software which sadly just doesn't work as well on my ubuntu box | 18:37 |

| Kungen354646 | KrisWood: k, the problem i have now is that i cant get both the mouse working like a mouse and the tablet as a tablet | 18:38 |
| zhobbs | Joe_, yeah, didn't happen in the distro I was using previously with similar xorg.conf :) | 18:38 |

| KrisWood | Kungen354646, yeah I had the same problem, I don't remember how I resolved it | 18:38 |
| Joe_ | sudo nvidia-settings will give you a pretty easy to use settings editor so you don't have to manually edit xorg.conf | 18:39 |

| Gecko | I see. Well, I hope I can just specify the path to the volume then | 19:02 |
| nickrud | dka7414: I'm really conservative about my computers, I don't generally resize and move them. I like my data | 19:02 |
| dka7414 | NICKRUD-right | 19:02 |
| xiven | Does Ubuntu have any known issues with Realtek RTL8139/x810 NIC's? | 19:02 |
| dka7414 | NICKRUD-resising is an easy way to lose data huh | 19:02 |
| Cpudan80 | miranda: Xinerma makes one display across several monitors --- is that what you want? | 19:02 |
| justin_ | when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong | 19:03 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | when I access my IP via browser I do enter at the modem's frontend... does anyone know how to fall into my apache?? | 19:03 |
| nickrud | dka7414: yes, I did that once (but I had a backup) so I don't do it anymore. I backup, move/change partitions, then put the data back | 19:03 |
| Cpudan80 | miranda: Sounds like you want the thing that is displayed on monitor A to == the thing on monitor B | 19:03 |
| Filled-Void | xiven, Cant connect to your network? | 19:03 |
| justin_ | when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong | 19:03 |

| Plenox9 | Hmm, anyone? | 19:03 |
| jln | Hello all, I'm having trouble with suspend on my gutsy installation. It's a desktop ASUS p5k se board, when hitting suspend, the computer just locks.. Where to start debugging? | 19:03 |
| xiven | I can get an IP..but thats where it ends | 19:03 |
| dka7414 | NICKRUD-ok then could i unmoount the suse partition then erase so i will have free space for a new os maybe? | 19:03 |
| Filled-Void | xiven, Are we talking about accessing the internet? | 19:04 |
| justin_ | when i try to enable the nvidia driver this happens "there was and error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." what did i do wrong | 19:04 |
| nickrud | dka7414: yes, exactly. Or you could simply mount it as /data (or some other place) and use it for shared data between os's. It's free for any use | 19:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: http://localhost/ | 19:04 |
| xiven | yeah | 19:04 |
| dka7414 | NICKRUD-cool thanx | 19:04 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | Cpudan80: nono... i want it by the outside | 19:04 |
| miranda | Cpudan80: That is correct. II ask only because when I configured cloneing, kubuntu ha this on. I tried setting it up manually,loading 2 cards, monitors and screens in my xorg file, but the secondary display simply does not work. | 19:05 |
| Filled-Void | xiven, Can you open this http://208.67.219.231/ | 19:05 |
| mbh00020 | I'm extremely new to ubuntu, any clue how to change rights of /var/www? | 19:05 |
| xiven | I get no DHCP offers, but my router allows both this machine, and my fiance's machine online just fine,,plus the windows install that is on the troubled machine | 19:05 |
| luis | hello all! | 19:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: you need to move your modem's frontend off port 80, or reset your apache to use some other port (ie. 8080) | 19:05 |
| xiven | yeah it brought up google | 19:05 |
| Filled-Void | DNS | 19:05 |
| xiven | hmm | 19:05 |
| Cpudan80 | miranda: ehhhh dunno | 19:06 |
| dka7414 | NICKRUD-also when i install os's i usually just make a / partition and a swap partition. Is this ok or should i definately make a /home partition. what is the difference between /home and just / will i be ok with just a / partition | 19:06 |
| luis | The other day I managed to create 4 desks and have them be on a cube, IDK how I did it, but I did, and now I can't do the same, any clues as to how to do this? | 19:06 |
| miranda | mbh00020: go to a terminal and type chmod --help | 19:06 |
| Filled-Void | OpenDNS Shoulve solve your problems then. One of the server numbers is 208.67.222.222 | 19:06 |
| xiven | Yeah I already tried it though | 19:06 |
| xiven | and it wasnt working | 19:06 |
| luis | sorry, not desks, I meant workspaces | 19:06 |
| mbh00020 | thanks miranda | 19:06 |
| xiven | do I need to totally restart my computer? | 19:06 |
| Filled-Void | xiven, :( Through neotwork manager? | 19:06 |
| Filled-Void | xiven, nope shouldnt have to | 19:06 |
| Owleto | the flash installer reports "remove the xpti.dat from the components directory of the Mozilla"... what about this? | 19:07 |
| nickrud | dka7414: I keep /home on a separate partition for several reasons: I can reinstall without losing the data in my home, I use it in different os's, I can use disk level backups. Many good reasons to have it | 19:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: Change the apache configuration file to add port 8080, the do http://....:8080 to hit it | 19:07 |
| luis | The other day I managed to create 4 workspaces and have them be on a cube, IDK how I did it, but I did, and now I can't do the same, any clues as to how to do this? | 19:07 |

| KrisWood | does ubuntu have a resume installation feature? :-/ | 19:07 |
| KrisWood | I got impatient and rebooted my machine during install and it didn't pick up where it left off like I'd hoped it would | 19:08 |
| nickrud | KrisWood: nope | 19:08 |
| Filled-Void | KrisWood, no | 19:08 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | Cpudan80: just another question... =x I installed apache via apt.. where is the httpd.conf? =x | 19:08 |
| KrisWood | doh >.< | 19:08 |
| Filled-Void | :( | 19:08 |
| xiven | ok i changed dns in the network manager, do i need to restart the network? | 19:08 |
| KrisWood | I guess I needed to let it sit longer :( | 19:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: lemme find out - hang on | 19:08 |
| nickrud | Mew[vendo_jogo]: it is dynamically created from files in /etc/apache2 | 19:08 |
| KrisWood | I did take this opportunity to check my CD and it went through the check just fine | 19:08 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | nickrud: tnxx | 19:09 |
| xiven | gah | 19:09 |
| xiven | I'mstill getting host unreachable, after changing DNS, and then pinging the DNS server | 19:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: it's /etc/apache2/ports.conf -- add "Listen 8080" | 19:09 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | nickrud: may i edit it? | 19:09 |
| Filled-Void | luis, Do you have the compizsetting -manager installed? | 19:09 |
| Filled-Void | luis, ccsm | 19:09 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | Cpudan80: ok! ill try it | 19:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: gksudo gedit /etc/apache2/ports.conf | 19:10 |
| KrisWood | Alright, just gonna go afk a while and let it do its thing, bbl! | 19:10 |
| luis | Umm, I don't think so | 19:10 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | and then at no-ip i put IP:8080 ? | 19:10 |
| nickrud | Mew[vendo_jogo]: no. | 19:10 |

| luis | but it also gave me this message "Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager | 19:11 |
| luis | " | 19:11 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | Cpudan80: ok! eddited.. whats the command to restart apache? =x | 19:11 |
| nickrud | Mew[vendo_jogo]: you should look around the conf dir, and use a2enmod a2dismod a2ensite a2dissite to work with stuff in mods-available and sites-available, and make changes in apache2.conf and ports.conf | 19:11 |
| Owleto | someone knows if the file "xpti.dat" must be deleted while installing flash manually? | 19:11 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | nickrud: hmmm | 19:12 |
| nickrud | Mew[vendo_jogo]: once you're used to it, its much easier to work with snippets of the http.conf rather than the whole thing | 19:12 |
| Filled-Void | luis, Do you have the option System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Settings | 19:12 |
| jv_ | plz.... | 19:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: uhhhhhhh | 19:13 |
| jv_ | need to know what my dev is for sd card | 19:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: restart apache2 I think | 19:13 |
| luis | I do not have "advanced desktop settings" | 19:13 |

| nickrud | Mew[vendo_jogo]: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart | 19:13 |

| kristjan_ | I need something that will cut 70MB .mov file into 15MB sized parts, any suggestions? | 19:14 |
| nickrud | Mew[vendo_jogo]: I'm good with the structure, Cpudan80 obviously knows more about apache than I do :) | 19:14 |
| Mew[vendo_jogo] | sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart | 19:14 |
| jv_ | kristianholm, par or somethin glike that | 19:14 |
| Filled-Void | luis, Advanced Desktop Effect Settings ? If its not there then it must not be installed. To install it you would run the command sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager but you get an error on this correct? | 19:14 |
| Cpudan80 | Mew[vendo_jogo]: there we go - that's the ticket | 19:14 |
| luis | yes, I get an error | 19:14 |

| towel | i'm stuck at 1280x1024 and can't make my resolution lower | 19:16 |
| nickrud | jv_: try this: in a terminal, type tail -f /var/log/syslog , then insert the card. You will get back a bunch of messages about the card, one will tell you the device | 19:16 |
| kilgor3 | does ubuntu have support for quad core computers? | 19:17 |
| kilgor3 | does the software suite utilize all 4 cores? | 19:17 |
| jv_ | Nickrud, tx will try that | 19:17 |
| Filled-Void | luis, Do you have universe selected in System > Adminstration > Software Sources | 19:17 |
| luis | yes, but everything else is checked as well, does that matter? | 19:18 |
| luis | the other 3 boxes are also checked | 19:18 |

| bod_ | Hi, is there a program for linux like the windows program Alcohol 120% ,.,.? | 19:20 |
| joanki | nickrud thx - surprised it's not already installed | 19:20 |
| nickrud | jv_: plugging in the card and ejecting it gives you now output at all | 19:20 |
| QwertyM | luis: try a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 19:20 |
| powergoa1 | Are there group permissions in kubuntu for read/write for auto mounted usb disks? | 19:20 |
| nickrud | joanki: this isn't a developers distro :0 | 19:20 |

| luis | but, filled-void, I get the same error | 19:21 |
| luis | E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager | 19:21 |

| mustafa | Hi, i wanna know how can i disable starting services from my system | 19:21 |
| luis | this is the error I keep getting: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager | 19:21 |
| nickrud | bod_: what's alcohol 120% | 19:21 |
| mustafa | because its loading so late and loads like 1.60 , 2.20 after booting | 19:22 |

| Strider_ | Question: For some strange reason the new install of 7.10 is incorrectly detecting my GPU (BFG 7300 GT). Instead it's showing up a "Mesa" card. Any ideas? | 19:22 |
| bod_ | nickrud: its a program that lets you use disc iso files without having to burn them to cd/dvd | 19:22 |
| nickrud | joanki: you can search in system->admin->synaptic (ctl -f) | 19:22 |
| kilgor3 | mustafa go to system>preferences>session> | 19:22 |
| jv_ | Nickrud, no..still the same stuff about ath0 | 19:22 |
| crdlb | Strider_: what does 'mesa card' mean? where are you seeing mesa? | 19:22 |
| crdlb | in glxinfo? | 19:22 |
| mustafa | yes, kilgor3 i'm there | 19:22 |
| luis | crdlb, no, I don't see "appearance" | 19:23 |
| kilgor3 | start up programs | 19:23 |
| Strider_ | crdlb: Tried setting up cedega and that is what it detected as the card. | 19:23 |
| nickrud | bod_: you can do it with sudo mount /path/to/iso -o loop /mnt , and access them at mount. There's also gisomount that's a gui | 19:23 |
| kilgor3 | its right there | 19:23 |
| luis | I do see "themes" though | 19:23 |
| luis | probably not the same thing. | 19:23 |
| mustafa | well, kilgor i cant see evolution on there: S | 19:23 |
| nickrud | bod_: that is, access them at /mnt not mount | 19:23 |
| bod_ | nickrud: thanks dude,.,. ur a legend | 19:23 |

| kilgor3 | click the add button if you want to add something to start up with | 19:23 |

| luis | and it seems like I can't get it either, since I try installing it and it gives me this error: E: Couldn't find package compizconfig-settings-manager | 19:23 |
| nickrud | jv_: then something is not working right, I would have no clue why the kernel is seeing ath0 as an sd card :( | 19:24 |
| crdlb | Strider_: did you use the Restricted Drivers Manager ? | 19:24 |

| joanki | read their mail? emacs seems SO complicated? | 19:25 |
| jv_ | will unload tifm_sd and run your command again | 19:25 |
| Strider_ | crdlb: You still here? The restricted drivers limited me to 800x600 and caused some strange graphic errors. | 19:26 |
| nickrud | joanki: that's because there's an editor to match everyone's taste. I use eclipse which has a c++ plugin, some use vi , some use emacs, some use jedit, it's a matter of trying some and choosing your own poison | 19:26 |

I don't get any errors in the cups log, but dmesg has the following errors: http://pastebin.ca/866625 Any ideas on how to fix this. seems like a simple permission problem. | 20:05 |
| bod_ | yon: google it | 20:05 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, yeah, cheers. It's madness. Cannot understand why it's like that. | 20:05 |

| robdig | ThipThip: paste the output of make to the pastebin and i'll take a look | 20:06 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: develpors decided. I don't know why, though. | 20:06 |
| robdig | !paste | ThipThip | 20:06 |
| ubotu | ThipThip: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 20:06 |
| ThipThip | robdig: Thanks! I have actually already posted a few outputs of make, but I did not save the URLs. Is there a way I can look them up by name? | 20:06 |
| yon | bod_: can i pm u? it gets rather complicated | 20:06 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, is that chmod switch saying "Make the owner have read, write and execute of your home folder" thus meaning everyone else does not have that? | 20:06 |
| robdig | ThipThip: afik, no | 20:07 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: no it says revoke read, write and execution perms for others | 20:07 |

| Kungen354646 | u too? | 20:08 |
| ThipThip | robdig: OK. I have posted another one. See here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52814/ | 20:08 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: you could chmod 750 ~ if you prefer | 20:08 |
| robdig | ThipThip: looking | 20:08 |
| === unagi__ is now known as bmc | ||
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: or 700 even | 20:08 |
| Kungen354646 | as far as i know i SHOULD work.. but it doesnt ;) grrr | 20:09 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, the problem I have is that I have a mounts folder that points to a drive that I do want other users to access, but it's only mounted from my home folder. So if I apply 750 to ~ they won't be able to navigate to the shared folder. | 20:09 |
| abc111 | how would one knows which window manager is active or used at the moment? gdm ? kdm ? metacity ? | 20:09 |
| jimmygoon | 7.10 has been disappointing. my gdm/kde4 has huge fonts and is completely unusable, I have no ttys, and the disk checker gives no feedback or indicator during boot :/ | 20:09 |
| blag | i booted my tablet today and the stylus wouldnt wor | 20:10 |
| blag | *work | 20:10 |
| Kungen354646 | and whats with that annoying tracker bug?? | 20:10 |

| antipop | what is the best antivirus program for ubuntu? | 20:10 |
| Kibbles | trying to open an mms and it tells me i don't have permissions - any advice? | 20:10 |
| jimmygoon | antipop, you dont need one | 20:10 |
| W8TAH | antipop, you dont need one - but if you insist, check out clamAV | 20:10 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, UI could do, but it's how I've always had it and I'm kinda used to it now! :-( | 20:11 |
| ThipThip | antipop: The best AV software for Ubuntu is Ubuntu :-) | 20:11 |
| jimmy__ | on compiz i have "desktop cube" on and every now and then it just stops working and reverts back to normal desktop moving properties, does anyone know why this is? | 20:11 |
| Kibbles | it's useful to have an AV so you can scan other boxes | 20:11 |
| bruenig | ThipThip, hahahahahahahahahahahahah, you mean gnu/linux | 20:11 |
| abc111 | how would one knows which window manager is active or used at the moment? gdm ? kdm ? metacity ? | 20:11 |
| Kibbles | anyone know how to run an mms feed? | 20:11 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: I think it's your only option if you restrict access to ~ | 20:11 |
| W8TAH | can some one please point me in the right direction for problems with ifplugd -- it seems to fail on boot, and doesnt do its thing | 20:11 |
| bruenig | abc111, gdm and kdm are not window managers | 20:11 |
| ThipThip | bruenig: fair enough :-) | 20:11 |
| Kungen354646 | Kibbles: use vlc | 20:12 |
| === unagi_ is now known as unagi | ||
| abc111 | bruening what are they called then? | 20:12 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, indeed. I am currently searching the net to try and find the reasoning behind why users are given read access by default. I cannot understand it! | 20:12 |
| ljsmithx | i just found something out about Live Mail | 20:12 |
| Kibbles | Kungen354646: thanks | 20:12 |
| bruenig | abc111, display managers I think is what the dm stands for (login managers perhaps makes more sense) | 20:12 |
| ThipThip | unagi: that's eel, right? I had some eel two nights ago from a great sushi place in town. Wonderful! | 20:12 |
| unagi | eel is so yummy | 20:12 |
| jimmygoon | this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/180881 does anyone know how to fix this :( | 20:12 |

| Kibbles | jefo - download them | 20:14 |
| robdig | ThipThip: looking | 20:14 |

| chickin | thipthip: I am going to try wubi, Wish me luck! | 20:14 |

| naxa | i have nvidia 7200 go in my laptop and the nvidia restricted driver is the only working one. however, due to some nvidia problems, the driver randomly freeze... can someone help me and listen the details? :) | 20:14 |
| bruenig | antipop, unless you are serving windows machines, no one uses antivirus | 20:14 |
| Kungen354646 | Kibbles: i dont remember anything out of the ordinary | 20:15 |
| ljsmithx | Kibbles, :) | 20:15 |
| ThipThip | robdig: I can find no other mentions of this problem with gDesklets, but there are a few references here and there in other situations. Generally the discussion is over my head, as I am quite new to Linux. I'd love to understand bash and dash and sh and the rest. In time. | 20:15 |
| misslecommander | jimmygoon: it not only was very ver large, but then i changed desktop resolution, and then it was super super small. wierd | 20:15 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: it does if you don't tell it not to | 20:15 |

| ljsmithx | Jefo: why not order one then copy it to another dvd? | 20:15 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, does it? I thought it didn't | 20:15 |
| misslecommander | jimmygoon: i dont know what fixed it, but now its fine, it had something to do with video settings | 20:15 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, hm, well, I just changed from "intel" to the (old) "i810" driver so give me a sec to restart gdm | 20:15 |
| ljsmithx | ohh well | 20:15 |

| mwe | wyclif: I think you missed our conversation :) | 20:16 |
| misslecommander | jimmygoon: it may bot be driver specific, it might do the same will all driver. i have nvidai, you have intel, does same thing | 20:16 |
| wyclif | ha, just realised that...(scrolling up) | 20:16 |
| wyclif | sorry | 20:16 |
| naxa | VvWolverinevV, /etc/fstab is the auto-mount file. on wikipedia there are examples of it's sturcutre. if you can mount ntfs otherwise, it won't be a problem | 20:16 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, alright, well, I've got nothing else to try yet | 20:16 |
| jimmygoon | brb | 20:16 |
| Jefo | doesnt solve my problem with dont having blanks. usually i dont burn CDs | 20:17 |
| vile_maxim | is there a way to copy a Logical volume to a different Volume Group on the same machine. The lv is not active, but is a NTFS. This seems simple, but for some reason I'm running into brick wall. | 20:17 |

| badkitty | Whats up busters | 20:19 |
| chickin | kungen354646 what type of tablet is it? computer tablet? | 20:19 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, the font size is "normal" now yes | 20:19 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, both in kde and in gdm | 20:19 |
| misslecommander | jimmygoon: you fixed it like that ? | 20:19 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, I'm gonna have to file a bug against the "intel" driver I guess... or do some more research | 20:19 |
| antipop | are such kind on ubuntu? | 20:19 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, yep, that was the only thing i did was change from intel -> i810 | 20:19 |
| misslecommander | jimmygoon: check out that link i gave you | 20:20 |
| misslecommander | jimmygoon: maybe it will help | 20:20 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, will do when I reboot and get my mouse back :) (I've got logging on so I'll look) | 20:20 |
| ThipThip | robdig: can you recommend a course of action? Is it simply that his source is poorly written? Others seem to use it successfully. What can explain the apparent uniqueness of my problem? | 20:20 |
| * KrisWood sighs | 20:20 | |
| KrisWood | I gues I reinstall yet again, then | 20:20 |
| Kungen354646 | chickin: its a trust draw pad.. or apparently aiptek | 20:20 |
| robdig | ThipThip: looks like you need to install gettext, sudo apt-get install gettext | 20:20 |
| jimmygoon | misslecommander, brb again thanks | 20:20 |
| badkitty | Can someone please give me a brief overview of kernel images | 20:21 |
| chickin | kungen354646 oh, I can't help you then. :( sorry. | 20:21 |
| robdig | ThipThip: after that, you will need to re-run the ./config script, then re-run make | 20:21 |
| creature | Hello. I am in the alternative installer, and I would like to remove some MD devices. But when I choose 'delete MD device', it tells me 'There was an error deleting the multidisk device. It may be in use.' How do I fix this? | 20:21 |
| Kungen354646 | chickin: k :( | 20:21 |
| sc_ | Hi | 20:21 |
| chickin | kungen354646 cool think though! :D | 20:21 |
| ThipThip | robdig: I am doing just that. Thank you. :-) Could you explain to me (or point me in the direction of an explanation of) what gettext is and why it was needed here? | 20:21 |
| sc_ | People im getting trouble when trying to copy an AVI from a CD to my disk.. is there any software to dificult cases? | 20:22 |
| Kibbles | how do I select a default program for filetype? | 20:22 |
| sc_ | The CD isnt very good... scratchy | 20:22 |
| vile_maxim | creature: I've had that before on debian installs... it was caused by me setting up the MD then changing my mind. I had to reboot... hope that helps | 20:22 |
| robdig | ThipThip: my guess is that the config script looks for something in gettext, but doesn't issue an error message that it isn't there | 20:22 |
| creature | vile_maxim: I haven't set anything up yet. | 20:22 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | Is there a difference, in relation to sharing files\folders using Samba, to data stored on an ext3 partition over those stored on a reiser partition? The reason I ask is I had data stored on an ext3 partition that I could share and bavigate to from my Windows laptop. But applying the exact same permissions to data on the reiser, I kept getting Access Denied errors | 20:23 |
| creature | There are pre-existing RAID devices on these drives, however. | 20:23 |
| chickin | sc_ thats probobly the problem then. | 20:23 |
| slash|crisis | hey! i am currently working on a remote monitoring server. the server runs on linux, the client does also run on linux and is planned to be ported to other *nixes and windows (if i find somebody who is more familiar with windows). - the server works, the client is ready for a first alpha version. but i need help in development! CVS, mailing lists etc are set up - server and client are written in C++, the web interface is PHP | 20:23 |
| slash|crisis | anybody interested? | 20:23 |
| misslecommander | does ANYONE actually have a version of ANY distro that works out of the box ? there is way too many issues with everything failing, its complete chaos | 20:23 |
| slash|crisis | its a GPL project | 20:23 |
| sc_ | Any special software to try to copy to my HDD from a scratchy CD? =) | 20:23 |
| robdig | ThipThip: i found a similar problem on google, and that is what they did to fix it :) | 20:23 |
| jwadd | steam games in ubuntu? halp? | 20:23 |
| sc_ | chickin: yes... almost the entire file is copied but the last 50mb... it's hard.. | 20:23 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: My ubuntu worked out of the box | 20:23 |
| sc_ | any tip? | 20:23 |
| vile_maxim | creature: I'm not sure bluepill:/etc/xen# cat /proc/mdstat ? | 20:23 |
| misslecommander | if you do, what kind of system you have ? | 20:23 |
| chickin | sc_ wierd | 20:24 |
| misslecommander | badkitty: system specs please | 20:24 |
| vile_maxim | creature: bluepill is the name of my machine... sorry | 20:24 |
| Mudkipz | lol matrix | 20:24 |
| chickin | sc_ have you tried cleaning it with toothpaste and a microfiber cloth? | 20:24 |
| sc_ | beside cp command, any thing I should try? | 20:24 |
| Mudkipz | how cute | 20:24 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | misslecommander, as did my Ubuntu install. And I have a 500Gb hardware RAID that works like a dream. Took me ages to setup using Windows! | 20:24 |
| ThipThip | robdig: it would seem that you are the superior googler between us. :-) This seems to have done the trick. | 20:24 |
| vile_maxim | Mudkipz: from the attack... which comes from Matrix | 20:24 |
| chickin | sc_ clean swiping outward from the center not with the grain | 20:24 |
| sc_ | yes chickin in this case with alcohol and a microfiber cloth | 20:24 |
| robdig | ThipThip: cool. good luck | 20:24 |
| misslecommander | Gizmo_The+Great: system, specs please | 20:24 |
| creature | vile_maxim: It shows 2 active RAID devices. | 20:25 |
| misslecommander | Gizmo_The_Great: system, specs please | 20:25 |
| chickin | sc_ ah! try with toothpaste | 20:25 |
| QwertyM | how do I merge two screen sessions? | 20:25 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: I have an amd64bit (running 32bit ubuntu) 2.8G Proc w/ 2 gigs ram, nvidia 7300 GT AGP, 2 500 gig SATA HDD, 2 DVD-RW Nvidia Wireless card and Nvidia chipset | 20:25 |
| sc_ | ok chickin tks for the help | 20:25 |
| xiven | What would cause a live boot to have internet, but an install (done after the live boot)? | 20:25 |
| sc_ | just the question, is there any other way to copy besides the CP command? | 20:25 |
| misslecommander | badkitty: thank you | 20:25 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: well if samba has read access to your files you can share them even though local users cant access them | 20:25 |
| vile_maxim | creature: mdadm --manage -stop | 20:25 |
| jwadd | lol @ badkitty .. you know you can get 64 ubuntu | 20:25 |
| badkitty | jwadd: Yeah but for what? It is less supported | 20:26 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | misslecommander, Dell Precision P650 Workstation. 2Gb RAM, 500Gb SCSI Hardware RAID, 40Gb SCSI OS Disk, Intel Xeon 3.5Ghz dual processors | 20:26 |
| vile_maxim | creature: you might need to help that command... I don't remember it off the top of my head | 20:26 |
| mwe | Gizmo_The_Great: as a side note for our previous conversation | 20:26 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: I also had ubuntu working out of box on my Laptop | 20:26 |
| chickin | slash|crisis sorry, thats not my area of expertice | 20:26 |
| lespea | sc_: there are plenty of ways to copy stuff | 20:26 |
| creature | vile_maxim: I'll check it out, thanks. | 20:26 |
| chickin | sc_ no problem | 20:26 |
| vile_maxim | creature: I think you need the device after that | 20:26 |
| lespea | sc_: what'r eyou trying to do? | 20:26 |
| ThipThip | robdig: My next question is: What does "make install" do and how does it differ from installing something from synaptic, apart from the obvious difference between getting something from source vs. from a repo. Should "make install" put a launcher into the applications menu? If not, how does one execute an application installed via "make install"? | 20:26 |
| yon | I have two hdds that i can not see, one is internal, the other is external (USB), can anyone help me fix this? | 20:26 |
| chickin | sc_ I don't know, I run windows :/ | 20:26 |
| badkitty | jwadd: I had 64 ubuntu and experienced many problems... especially when it came to multimedia stuff | 20:27 |
| vile_maxim | creature: I have no idea if that will fix this for you though... I'm just telling you where I would start | 20:27 |
| misslecommander | badkitty: out of the box, running stable, just cause it works isnt good, stable is most important, yours stable ? | 20:27 |
| lespea | ThipThip: make install follows whatever commands are given to the "install" process in the make file | 20:27 |
| sc_ | leagris: a divx is on a scratchy CD | 20:27 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | mwe, thanks nwe. I'm on a different 'concern' now though. I've just migrated from one PC to another and trying to replicate shares that I had on the old machine. Nothing to do with out earlier chat about users home folders :-) | 20:27 |
| lespea | ThipThip: so it depends on who made it and how they set it up | 20:27 |
| sc_ | it doesnt even read on windowsxp | 20:27 |
| === futeki is now known as futeki_afk_afc_c | ||
| sc_ | so I tried on ubuntu | 20:27 |
| sc_ | it was copying but the last 50mb... it cant | 20:27 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: Yes of course... during my days using dapper and edgy I had some stability problems but now Its al working gravy, the only thing I had to do was install the proprietary multimedia codecs | 20:28 |
| chimp | Is it possible through synaptic/aptitude to install just the dependencies and not the package selected? | 20:28 |
| jwadd | badkitty: ah.. i just use the basic apps when my windows install crashes... might go to 32 if i want more apps | 20:28 |
| ThipThip | lespea: I see. So it is possible, but not necessary, that it would behave similarly to synaptic (ie placing a launcher somewhere) | 20:28 |
| lespea | have you cleaned the cd, and what proggy in windows were you using? | 20:28 |
| sc_ | so i want to know if any of you know any software to try to copy scratchy cd's dvd's | 20:28 |
| lespea | ThipThip: yup, possible but not a gimme | 20:28 |

| Bo7a | iewsonic) So i boot out to a prompt. adjust xorg.conf with the proper specs (retrieved from xresprod and ddc) | 20:44 |

| Jack_Sparrow | therethinker: edit fstab | 20:48 |

| akrus | i have problem with atheros wifi driver | 20:49 |
| lespea | ThipThip: it probably doesn't help that i know nothing about gdesklets... maybe there is no executable or something | 20:49 |
| lespea | ThipThip: okay, it may take a bit | 20:49 |
| lespea | ThipThip: but it's the only way to make sure | 20:49 |
| xiven | I can see the support hype for ubuntu is way over stated | 20:49 |
| Bo7a | anyone with expertise in resolution problems that has a minute to spare plz PM me. I have done the standard fixes (dpkg-reconf, reinstalled drivers, updated xorg.conf with xresprobe results, etc etc etc...) but to no avail. | 20:49 |
| akrus | i've compiled it manually, but after "modprobe ath_pci" nothing happens | 20:49 |

| Bo7a | hanophix33, sorry, i'll PM it to you | 20:49 |
| ThipThip | lespea: surely it helps less that I know nearly nothing about Linux. I'm learning fast thanks to kind folks like you. | 20:49 |

| Bo7a | thx tho missle. this is something very elusive. I'be been confing X for various machines for just over 8 years. nothing in my history has helped here | 20:50 |
| misslecommander | Bo7a: you need to look towards the section that talks about editing xorg.conf | 20:50 |
| lespea | xiven: lan or wifi? | 20:50 |
| xiven | lan | 20:51 |
| Cpudan80 | Sjimmie: That would be !ops -- but I wouldn't do that unless it's really bad | 20:51 |
| xiven | live boot had internet..then i installed..and it doesnt..only gets ahold of an IP | 20:51 |
| vile_maxim | theshadow: I think you need an entry in your host file... or you are having an unknown ServerName directive in your apache conf | 20:51 |
| lespea | do you have any eth{number} show up when you go ifconfig? | 20:51 |
| LjL | Cpudan80: i wouldn't do what he's done either | 20:51 |

| xiven | eth0, and no | 20:52 |
| Bo7a | anyone with expertise in resolution problems with nvidia and 7.10 that has a minute to spare plz PM me. I have done all the standard fixes (dpkg-reconf, reinstalled drivers, updated xorg.conf with xresprobe results, etc etc etc...) but to no avail. I'm just stumped | 20:52 |
| lespea | ThipThip: well, it goes through all your files and checks its name and file permissoins... so... yeah lol | 20:52 |
| Cpudan80 | Xintruder: That doesn't make sense | 20:52 |
| Xintruder | I want to use grep editor! | 20:53 |
| Gizmo_The_Great | I have created a mount point to a disk as follows : /mnt/RAID. I have added an entry to fstab to that it auto mounts at boot. But I nly want myself and the wife to have access (read and write). What do I need to enter to achieve this? Currently I have : UUID Number /mnt/RAID ext3 rw,user,auto0 0 | 20:53 |
| lespea | xiven: do you have an ip addy? | 20:53 |
| MasterShrek | Xintruder, grep isnt an editor | 20:53 |
| xiven | yes | 20:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Xintruder: grep aint no editor | 20:53 |
| Creed | !uset autoinvite 1 | 20:53 |
| ThipThip | lespea: OK it just finished. What am I looking for? | 20:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Xintruder: Try vim instead of grep | 20:53 |
| vile_maxim | Xintruder: sudo grep Kernel /boot/grub/menu.ls | 20:53 |
| lespea | ThipThip: did anything show up? | 20:53 |
| vile_maxim | Xintruder: grep is not an editor | 20:53 |
| lespea | xiven: so you have an ip from your router that's correct, but you can't ping your router? | 20:53 |
| vile_maxim | Xintruder: it's a filter | 20:53 |
| Xintruder | Hmmm.. some editor starts with a g? | 20:53 |

| Gizmo_The_Great | Xintruder, gmacs? | 20:54 |
| ThipThip | yes. apart from the desktop, most of the files that showed up are in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib | 20:54 |
| Xintruder | gedit.. thats it lol.... | 20:54 |
| misslecommander | Bo7a: just a thouhg, could the card be defective ? try in another machine maybe ? | 20:54 |
| robdig | Xintruder: gedit | 20:54 |
| Cpudan80 | Xintruder: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst will prob do what you're thinking | 20:54 |
| Creed | oh great xchat commands are not server specific T_T | 20:54 |
| chazco | Hi... my USB keyboard doesnt always work when Ubuntu starts... it will start working if moved to a different USB card (regardless of which one it was on)... using some scripting I managed to get a dmesg output which shows that it is correctly detected... any ideas on fixing this? | 20:54 |
| xiven | yeah...i'd like to know the same thing | 20:54 |
| Cpudan80 | VIM and nano are kinda... complicated | 20:54 |
| lespea | ThipThip: well all those files that showed up are executible, so.... | 20:54 |
| lespea | ThipThip: if they're in lib, i'm not sure | 20:54 |
| badkitty | Cpudan80: nano is complicated?? how do you figure | 20:54 |
| lespea | ThipThip: you're going to have to find an expert in gdesklet | 20:54 |
| Cpudan80 | badkitty: It doesn't have a gui lol | 20:55 |
| Bo7a | tried that as well missle. :/ i'm confused. I've been setting up X on bsd/linux for many years. and never has a quick edit of xorg/xfree and restart not worked | 20:55 |
| lespea | xiven: what's the output from the command route? | 20:55 |
| Cpudan80 | badkitty: I use vim myself | 20:55 |

| Bo7a | apologies in advance for re-posting. I'm not trying to be a pain, just hoping someone new may see my plight and offer a hand | 20:56 |
| ThipThip | lespea: OK! Now when I run the "gdesklets-shell" in terminal, it says "connecting to daemon".... tells me that the daemon isn't working. At least I have a lead! | 20:56 |
| Bo7a | anyone with expertise in resolution problems with nvidia and 7.10 that has a minute to spare plz PM me. I have done all the standard fixes (dpkg-reconf, reinstalled drivers, updated xorg.conf with xresprobe results, etc etc etc...) but to no avail. I'm just stumped | 20:56 |

| Bizzeh | Cpudan80: the nix* virus database for avg is larger than the windows database | 20:57 |
| lespea | ThipThip: yeah, that's going into unkown territory for me, and i'm running kde so i can't really test it | 20:57 |
| badkitty | antipop: I believe it has a link in the system menu for that | 20:57 |

| misslecommander | Bo7a: no wonder why, you have a blacklisted card :) its a very new card, i wouldnt even think anyone has a fix for such an issue | 20:58 |
| Creed | Bo7a, what error does it spit out when you go to terminal 7 (ctrl+alt+f7)? | 20:58 |
| lespea | xiven: and 192.168.1.1 is your router right? | 20:58 |
| LjL | eek: what firewall? | 20:58 |
| ^swb^ | badkitty... and what would it be? | 20:58 |
| badkitty | Bizzeh: How is virus db for linux larger than MS | 20:58 |
| antipop | badkitty, it says that "your systems dont need them" and button close? | 20:58 |
| Cpudan80 | Bizzeh: He asked for an AV solution, that is one ---- you prob don't need it anyway | 20:58 |
| eek | LjL: that what i thought!! | 20:58 |
| anch | awe =) | 20:58 |
| Creed | ^swb^, for ubuntu its #ubuntu-effects | 20:58 |

| ^swb^ | thnx | 20:58 |
| LjL | !firewall > eek (eek, see the private message from Ubotu) | 20:58 |

| ortodox | hey guys can some tell me how to let users see my php files on ubuntu server? | 20:58 |
| Cpudan80 | The likelyhood of getting a virus in *nix is so insignificant... | 20:59 |
| eek | ok port forwarding | 20:59 |
| Xintruder | Cpudan80: Dear god, You look like you have not read my last question. | 20:59 |
| Bizzeh | hahahahah | 20:59 |
| ortodox | i can open them from windows explorer localy | 20:59 |
| eek | LjL: ok port forwarding | 20:59 |
| Bo7a | no errors creed. | 20:59 |
| Bizzeh | you keep your puny little mind thinking that | 20:59 |
| Xintruder | But I got through it | 20:59 |
| Xintruder | thanks any way | 20:59 |
| eek | my bad | 20:59 |
| Cpudan80 | Xintruder: I don't think I've ever said this before.... | 20:59 |
| Cpudan80 | Xintruder: Read the damn manual | 20:59 |
| LjL | eek: port forwarding... as in, you have another computer connected through your computer? | 20:59 |
| Creed | Bo7a, and you've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 20:59 |
| misslecommander | Bo7A: i had mine running great till i updated a few things, then i removed what i updated, and all was back to fine | 20:59 |
| ortodox | do i have to open ports for getting others to see my php files on ubuntu server? | 20:59 |
| badkitty | ^swb^: Actually try oiut #compiz-fusion | 20:59 |
| xiven | lespea did you get those results? | 20:59 |
| LjL | ortodox: if you have a router or something that closes them, i suppose so | 21:00 |
| Bo7a | Creed, Yup. | 21:00 |
| ortodox | since i can only get to them localy...in server i can ping www.google.com | 21:00 |
| Bo7a | misslecommander, yeah i'd imagine it was a round of updates done on friday. but i'm perplexed. I usually fix this stuff pretty quick | 21:00 |
| Xintruder | Cpudan80: You can either help with a friendly tone or shut up. I prefer no help then being spoken to that way. | 21:00 |
| KrisWood | ok I've reinstalled ubuntu yet again, still hanging on bootup at "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]" do I need to reinstall? :-/ | 21:00 |
| lespea | xiven: yeah, i asked if 192.168.1.1 was your router -- must have gotten lost in all the talking | 21:00 |
| ortodox | 65.53.23.153/test.php | 21:00 |
| Cpudan80 | ortodox: No - just port 80 -- there is no firewall in the default config anyway | 21:00 |
| KrisWood | anyone, please? | 21:00 |
| xiven | yes it is | 21:00 |
| mattholimeau | does anyone know how to make the terminal automatically copy to clipboard anything that i highlight? | 21:00 |
| badkitty | Bizzeh: I have read several sources that say linux virus total is less than a hundred whereas there are over 1000 virus created for MS products each month | 21:00 |
| KrisWood | is there a way to reconfigure this thing without reinstalling? :-/ | 21:01 |
| eek | well i have a server and my box I you my box thru ssh to run the sever. i'm just setting this up and am having troubles with port on the server | 21:01 |
| lespea | xiven: well that makes no sense at all | 21:01 |
| xiven | why not? | 21:01 |
| eek | LjL: well i have a server and my box I you my box thru ssh to run the sever. i'm just setting this up and am having troubles with port on the server | 21:01 |
| Bizzeh | badkitty: FSF sponsored sources day that | 21:01 |
| LjL | ortodox: doesn't work | 21:01 |
| Bizzeh | independant sources such as AVG, do not | 21:01 |
| brobostigon | unix has less than 2 known virus | 21:01 |
| lespea | xiven: your *net should be working | 21:01 |
| xiven | wait, should that be a 255 number? | 21:01 |
| xiven | ohh ok | 21:01 |
| xiven | thats my thoughts | 21:01 |
| xiven | it makes no sense | 21:01 |
| Bo7a | brb. thanks for your input folks. gonna go smoke a death-stick and try not to pull my hair out. | 21:02 |
| misslecommander | Bo7a: if it worked before, i am sure it will work again. matter of time, the bugger shows its true colours | 21:02 |
| lespea | xiven: no it should be all 0s | 21:02 |
| xiven | huh? | 21:02 |
| lespea | xiven: wait, should that be a 255 number? :: no | 21:02 |
| Bo7a | misslecommander, hehe yupyup. I just dont get where the gui tools are pulling their info. if i could find that out i'd prolly have it handled. i KNOW my xorg is correct, but the gui tools won't allow me to select anything that is set in there | 21:02 |
| xiven | oohh | 21:02 |
| LjL | eek, if your machine and the server are connected directly, there should be nothing to set up at all. can you describe your setup more in detail? are the two machines connected via what - a router, a plain crossover cable? | 21:03 |
| xiven | it should be my router's ip right? | 21:03 |
| lespea | xiven: yeah | 21:03 |
| eek | LjL: lnksys router | 21:03 |
| xiven | well maybe it makes a difference.. | 21:03 |
| Bo7a | xorg has full modelines for each mode, and defs are all set to my monitors native settings. but in the screen res, and screens displays gui tools, everything is locked at one res and 50hz | 21:03 |
| xiven | thats actually set in interfaces file | 21:03 |
| lespea | xiven: telnet 192.168.1.1 80 :: does that work? | 21:03 |
| xiven | otherwise it has a * | 21:03 |
| Bo7a | nowim just babbling... Be back in a few, thanks to everyone who offerred suggestions | 21:03 |
| xiven | no route to host | 21:04 |
| lespea | figures | 21:04 |
| LjL | eek: and you can't ssh to the server from the other one? | 21:04 |
| lespea | can you pastebin your interface file? | 21:04 |
| misslecommander | Bo7a: quick thought: systax correct (spacing, typo, <tab>) ?? | 21:04 |
| lespea | xiven: can you pastebin your interface file? | 21:04 |
| eek | LjL: my problem is when i open ports on the router for the server it wont recognize them. I'm ssh in it now running azureus | 21:04 |
| silent__ | what is the default vga setting if no vga=XXXX is specified in fstab? | 21:04 |
| brobostigon | it is in /etc/network/interfaces | 21:04 |
| kylemclellan | anyone help with virtual partitions on OSX ? | 21:05 |
| LjL | eek, there's nothing to recognize... a port is either open or not open. if they aren't working, then you didn't open them. | 21:05 |
| lespea | brobostigon: unix has less than 2 known virus ?? lol | 21:05 |
| eek | LjL: but Azureus says port failure, but the ports are open | 21:05 |
| digital00 | I try to activate Compiz but it say "Desktop effects could not be enabled" | 21:05 |
| misslecommander | Bo7a: i asked, because i was doing something on grub, and i couldn figure out why it didnt work when i typed it, yet when i pasted it, it worked, simple type no space | 21:05 |
| digital00 | why?? | 21:05 |
| foxray | anyone know a tool where i can add 2 files into an iso image? I'm trying to flash my bios on my other comp so i can load ubuntu off a thumb drive | 21:06 |
| LjL | digital00: probably because they're not supported with your hardware. | 21:06 |
| eek | LjL: i'm looking at my SingleForward.asp screen right now and the box is enabled | 21:06 |
| kestir | foxray: cat | 21:06 |
| brobostigon | lespea: o read that this morning, no idea if it is true or noe | 21:06 |

| lostrose | hey there .. im somewhat of a newbie to linux and need some help too get my system up and running | 21:07 |
| lespea | xiven: and did you enter in that extra stuff for eth0? | 21:07 |
| foxray | yes kestir i'm a linux admin for a living | 21:07 |
| LjL | eek, no use to describe router setup screens to me, i've never had a router. if it's enabled and it's connected to the router directly, it really should work. there is *nothing* blocking ports by default on ubuntu, so if you didn't enable something yourself, opening the ports on the router *has* to be enough | 21:07 |
| nicolah | is there a video-player that can help me to synchronize the audio/video delay that sometime occurs ? thanks | 21:07 |
| Pricey | digital00, LjL, that card is blacklisted due to video playback issues. | 21:07 |

| emdash | that seems really suspicious | 21:09 |
| eek | LjL :( on a side note why doe the azureuswiki have Port Forwarding on Linux, specifically Ubuntu? | 21:09 |
| LjL | emdash: there was a slight mess with xserver-xorg-core... however, they should definitely be signed... | 21:09 |

| lostrose | Cpudan80: when i boot up i get sound when i log in and then its gone .. theres also a high pitched soud.. | 21:12 |
| misslecommander | with no DHCPOFFER no ip | 21:12 |
| lespea | misslecommander: ; is a command break, you can also go && and then if the first command returns an error code (non zero exit code) the second will not run | 21:12 |
| badkitty | misslecommander: does ; work the same way as && ?? | 21:12 |
| lespea | xiven: well that makes more sense at least! | 21:12 |
| misslecommander | lespea: thank you good info | 21:12 |

| lostrose | Cpudan80: would that have an effect if i dont have an onboard mix.. the high pithed sound is only there salong as my sound then it also dissapears... this only happend when i installed 7.10 | 21:14 |
| Karyn_bear | If i wanted to run a unbuntu home server, would it be cheaper to get a 100mb line from home or host it at ThePlanet? | 21:14 |

| Ashfire908 | when i run speaker-test it says " unable to open slave" then that the device or reasource is busy | 21:14 |

| Karyn_bear | badkitty: thanks | 21:16 |
| badkitty | xiven: How is your router set up... perhaps if you cant get an IP address, it is in the configuration (WPA vs. WEP etc | 21:16 |
| lespea | xiven: see if there's an error there | 21:16 |
| xiven | umm | 21:16 |
| LjL | eek: ok, let's pick one... type "netcat -l -p 4000" | 21:16 |
| lespea | badkitty: he gets ip fine w/windows through dhcp | 21:16 |

| xiven | I'vegot a realtek RTL8139/x810, so what should i put in the command for that? | 21:16 |
| badkitty | Karyn_bear: I have seen hosts as low as free a month... this is for a web server again right? | 21:16 |

| KrisWood | I'm thoroughly stumped. I've reinstalled twice, both times I get stuck here :( | 21:17 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: i got it working .. I can install exe files but some freeze the system and others start running but wont let me select any menu's.. i click on them and they show up for a mili second and then there gone and im back where i started | 21:17 |
| badkitty | lespea: Yeah but if he is using WPA-2 you have to request for the IP a little differently (atleast through the GUI Ive noticed) | 21:17 |
| lespea | badkitty: he's not using wireless! | 21:17 |
| silent__ | I've accidentally created a malformed fstab, and my system remounts read-only as a result. How can I get my system to boot writable so I can restore my fstab? | 21:17 |

| KrisWood | :( | 21:18 |
| eek | Can't grab 0.0.0.0:44444 with bind | 21:18 |
| lespea | silent__: use the linux live cd | 21:18 |
| LjL | eek: 4000 not 44444 (although both should work really) | 21:18 |
| robdig | silent__: boot off of live cd, then mount your hard drive, then edit the fstab | 21:18 |
| silent__ | lespea: the boot cd is not available at the moment | 21:18 |
| silent__ | robdig: same | 21:18 |
| badkitty | lespea: I think it may be beneficial to strum through the router configuration .. it could be an issue with the router and linux ... or router permissions | 21:18 |
| KrisWood | IndyGunFreak, any ideas? :-/ | 21:18 |
| lostrose | i tried hitman2 it just freezes up the system.. the other program is testout.. i need it for studying .... | 21:18 |

| eek | LjL: 44444 was the port i opened earlier. my rang was off it 5 digits | 21:19 |

| lespea | lostrose: LOL | 21:19 |
| lespea | lostrose: oh, nvm lol | 21:20 |
| lespea | lostrose: i thought you said you need hitman for studying lol | 21:20 |
| KrisWood | IndyGunFreak, I guess it got lost in all the chatter so you didn't see it: I've reinstalled twice now, and still the system hangs at "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]" on boot up | 21:20 |
| robdig | silent__: can you get into recovery mode in rw or is that in ro too? | 21:20 |
| badkitty | lespea: true but it caould be recognized as a different user, and depending on his router setup, may inallow that new user... happened to me before thats all Im sayin | 21:20 |
| xiven | well thats all good | 21:20 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: Maybe the gfx is too intensive for wine? | 21:20 |
| xiven | but my card isnt wireless | 21:20 |

| mattholimeau | chimp: look for some compiz config walkthroughs in google. there's a bunch of stuff to find. | 21:20 |

| chimp | ? | 21:21 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: lol..... that might be but the studying prog is really low on gfx | 21:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | KrisWood, have you tried disableing apci? | 21:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | or whatever it is. | 21:21 |
| chimp | mattholimeau, ? | 21:21 |
| zriyac | hello, can anybody help me configure PPPOE? | 21:21 |
| zk | peopele...is there any way i can reinstall ubuntu without loosing any data ar settings? :D | 21:21 |

| KrisWood | IndyGunFreak, I'm not sure what that is or how to disable it | 21:21 |
| LjL | eek: it wasn't supposed to. so now have is it running on a port that *is* open (or at least supposed to), and that's 44444? | 21:21 |
| mattholimeau | anyone if the option exists to cause the gnome-terminal to copy anything i highlight to the clipboard? | 21:21 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: I would ask #wine-hq | 21:21 |
| mattholimeau | chimp: nevermind, it was a bit ago you were asking | 21:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | KrisWood, it has to be done on the bootline, an truthfully, i'm not sure how to do it, i imagine LJL does | 21:21 |
| dissident | hi | 21:21 |
| lespea | zk: yes, when you get to the partioning part, re-use your /home partition but format the others | 21:21 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: Ehh #winehq maybe? I'm not sure what the channel is | 21:21 |
| chimp | What did i ask? | 21:22 |
| LjL | emdash, i'm referring to the fact that repositories have a GPG key that your computer checks against when fetching packages from them. if you, for some reason (it happens sometimes), don't have such key listed on your computer, apt will complain | 21:22 |
| lespea | zk: wait, did you set up a home partition? | 21:22 |
| dissident | isn't there something faster than pan as newsreader | 21:22 |
| eek | LjL: you lost me there. uhm azureus is running on port 44444 | 21:22 |

| zk | lespea: hmm...no just the "/" and the swap | 21:22 |
| lespea | dissident: telnet? | 21:22 |
| dissident | telenet | 21:22 |
| robdig | silent__: grub only controls the boot...so don't think any options will impact mounting... | 21:22 |
| lespea | zk: well... that sucks -- i hate that ubuntu defaults to that... so stupid | 21:22 |
| dissident | klibido is faster | 21:23 |
| lespea | zk: don't do that from now on lol | 21:23 |
| eek | LjL: you're GOOD!! i can see you're quite the multi tasker | 21:23 |
| KrisWood | IndyGunFreak, I didn't even know ubuntu had a safe mode, how do I get there? | 21:23 |
| LjL | eek, please, close whatever is running that may be trying to bind to ports. then type "netcat -l -p <a-port-that-you-have-opened-on-your-router>", and let me know which port it is | 21:23 |
| eek | yup | 21:23 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: ill give that a shot... Do u know anything about installing atheros5007eg wireless card | 21:23 |

| rconnell | Hi, does anyone know where the overscan slider is in the nvidia-settings gui? I am reading all about it but maybe I am using an old version? | 21:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | KrisWood, when you reboot, you'll see your grub menu(if you don't, hit esc till you do), you have 2 options, 1 is regular, 1 is recovery mode.. | 21:24 |
| silent__ | robdig: can anything be done during the boot process or in ro mode to force reverting to write mode | 21:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | *sorry, meant recovery mode, not safe. | 21:24 |

| IndyGunFreak | KrisWood, ok, so youre system is installed, now, you're probably gonna have to edit your /boot/menu.lst to turn off apci... now to do that though, i don't know, like i said, ask LjL, i'm guessing she knows. | 21:30 |
| dissident | sudo always gets a wrong passw | 21:30 |

| eek | LjL: is closing a ssh not suficient? | 21:31 |
| LjL | IndyGunFreak: sure, cept i'm male | 21:31 |
| KrisWood | LjL, do you know how to turn off apci? :) | 21:31 |
| arcad3 | hi,my bios doesn detect harddrive neither ubuntu "fdisk -l" gives nothing ...how to determine wahat tipe it is sata/ide | 21:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Ljl: really?.. its one of you smart people i'm confused with then, that i though was female, my mistake. | 21:31 |
| misslecommander | lostros: the light wont come on, uless told it can do so | 21:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | i didn't mean to insult your manliness | 21:31 |
| LjL | KrisWood: "noacpi" or "acpi=off" as kernel parameters - try the former first | 21:31 |
| assox_ | c'e qualche italiano | 21:32 |
| KrisWood | LjL, what are kernel parameters? :-/ | 21:32 |
| LjL | IndyGunFreak: no, no, it's just for some reason everyone thinks i'm female. | 21:32 |
| LjL | !it | assox_ | 21:32 |

| jin | hi | 21:33 |
| Flare183 | !hi | jin | 21:33 |
| LjL | eek: it should be closed yeah. i really don't understand why it can't bind to the port. does "sudo iptables -L" show any rules in place? | 21:33 |
| misslecommander | hmmm targeted i see | 21:33 |
| ubotu | jin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 21:33 |
| eek | hello | 21:33 |
| paolo | hi. is there a software with a whiteboard, like netmeeting for windows? | 21:33 |
| jin | how do you convert avi vid to flv vid on Ubuntu? | 21:33 |
| bruenig | jin, ffmpeg | 21:33 |
| jin | bruenig, I have tried that, but the quality of the flv is very low | 21:34 |
| jin | I want to keep the quality of the vid | 21:34 |
| Flare183 | !flv | 21:34 |
| ubotu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 21:34 |
| bruenig | jin, transcoding will always reduce quality | 21:34 |
| jin | bruenig, but not by that much | 21:34 |
| bruenig | jin, then maybe you are doing it wrong | 21:34 |
| brentp | hi, i've been running kubuntu no probs, then the last time i booted, i get grub 17 error, booting with cd, i get this for fdisk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52831/ | 21:35 |
| irv | anyone know where I can find the 'device id' kind of name for my usb hard drives? I want to add them to the fstab with drive specific names rather than /dev/sdd1, etc | 21:35 |
| eek | LjL: i'm not confident in how i'm reading this & i dont want to post and flood the channel :I | 21:35 |
| LjL | paolo: there is the old "wbd" although i'm afraid that version only supports multicast mode. i also see a package "steam", seems to be some java conferencing server... | 21:35 |
| LjL | !paste > eek (eek, see the private message from Ubotu) | 21:35 |
| brentp | i think some remaining windows "thing" overwrote my boot can i get it back? | 21:35 |
| LjL | !grub > brentp (brentp, see the private message from Ubotu) | 21:36 |
| paolo | LjL: multicast means that it doesn't work on wan .... :( | 21:36 |
| brobostigon | !grub | brentp | 21:36 |
| ubotu | brentp: 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 | 21:36 |
| misslecommander | !omg | 21:36 |
| ubotu | 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. | 21:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | kriswood, did you figure it out? | 21:36 |
| LjL | paolo: correct. another flavor of that "wbd" program (it's a very old tool, rewritten by plenty of universities etc) supports unicast, i'm pretty sure... but the version shipped with ubuntu doesn't seem to, as far as i could see | 21:36 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: Is there any reason why my version of ubuntu is i686 and not i386 | 21:36 |
| eek | LjL: here ya go :) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52832/ | 21:36 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: that's fine | 21:37 |
| nemilar | lostrose: i686 is better than i386 | 21:37 |
| paolo | LjL: so the only solution is wine+netmeeting ? :) | 21:37 |
| misslecommander | thats insane | 21:37 |
| brentp | thanks ubotu , reading ... | 21:37 |
| nemilar | I don't like Sundays | 21:38 |
| eek | To anybody: can i buy beans here? joking!! | 21:38 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: i see the 686, how does it differ from the 386 ? | 21:38 |
| nano__ | neither do i | 21:38 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: Ok just asking cause each time i read about support for my wireless they say for i386 ubuntu... | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: that's OK | 21:38 |
| nano__ | do any of you guys know how to solve disappearing mouse pointer problem in ubuntu fiesty? | 21:38 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: i386 is the common denominator, linux was originally written for the 386...as processors advanced, they got higher numbering, 486, 586, 686, etc | 21:38 |
| LjL | paolo: no... there are solutions that are not in the repositories - such as the unicast-supporting flavors of wbd that i mentioned. i researched them a fair bit a while ago, but i don't have any ready links anymore. search for "ReLaTe" though, which is basically a collection of those multicast (but sometimes unicast-able tools), that should get you started hunting the various versions of them. | 21:39 |
| ngzn | im getting Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy-security/Release.gpg Could not connect to security.ubuntu.com:80 (91.189.88.37), connection timed out | 21:39 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: So how would i go about establishing a connection with the wirelass | 21:39 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: i686 is Pentium 4 and above, IIRC | 21:39 |
| LjL | eek: it's empty, as it should be. i really can't understand what the problem may be. | 21:39 |
| LjL | ngzn: seems like the server is currently unresponsive... wait. | 21:39 |
| ngzn | LjL: its been a couple days | 21:39 |
| paolo | ok thnks LjL | 21:39 |
| ngzn | LjL: any alternatives? | 21:39 |
| eek | LJL: this is weird!! :'( | 21:40 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: my bad, i586 was the Pentium, above that is i686 | 21:40 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: how does that relate to the preformance of Ubuntu ? i have amd64bit using 32bit, but 386 version. if i use 686 version, it be faster ? | 21:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | ljl so to add that napci or whatever it is, do you just add that command to the end of the bootline? | 21:40 |
| LjL | ngzn: no, the security repo doesn't have mirrors. it's working for me, though. try "ping 91.189.88.37" from a terminal. | 21:40 |
| leoncamel | is there any other kernel package for ubuntu ? for example the lastest -mm build ... | 21:40 |
| LjL | IndyGunFreak: to add it one off to test it out, yes. to keep it permanently, /boot/grub/menu.lst needs to be edited | 21:40 |
| leoncamel | how can I build a kernel by myself ? | 21:40 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: does 'uname -a' say i386 or 686? | 21:40 |
| LjL | !kernel > leoncamel (leoncamel, see the private message from Ubotu) | 21:41 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: i will check | 21:41 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: dunno, sorry :-/ | 21:41 |

| brobostigon | !kernel | leoncamel | 21:41 |
| ubotu | leoncamel: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 21:41 |

| LjL | zk: what's in that file? | 21:42 |
| misslecommander | i though t i had 386 | 21:42 |
| ngzn | LjL: yeah | 21:42 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: you're all set then...it's nothing to worry about | 21:42 |
| mutton | i'd like to remove ubuntu from a laptop dualbooting ubuntu and vista. can someone point me to a guide that will walk me through it. | 21:42 |
| Strider_ | Question (I'll try again): A new install of ubuntu (7.10) seems to not detect my GPU (BFG Geforce 7300 GT) correctly. Instead it's show a "Mesa" card instead of the nvidia one. Any ideas what is wrong? | 21:42 |
| LjL | brobostigon, look above, i gave him !kernel in a PM | 21:42 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: packages get the i386 extention | 21:42 |
| devnull | hi all, i want to share ntfs part., mounted automaticaly, for other win comp with smb, but other comps cant access it. but all other shares (on main disk) is aviliable. anybody help me? | 21:42 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: dont kno wwhy i thought i had 386 | 21:42 |
| LjL | ngzn: and other repositories work fine, in apt-get? | 21:42 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: or they get the amd64 extension | 21:42 |
| ngzn | LjL: seems so, only that one complains | 21:42 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: ok, then, thats great, thank you | 21:42 |
| eek | LjL: is there crazy stuff i don't know about like cables that don't work or router bs? it seems like it should and it does work on my other box. | 21:42 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: if you're older than about 23, you probably remember IBM 386 computers | 21:43 |
| zk | LjL: exit=0 that's in rc.local | 21:43 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: haha i remember the ancients. the true 86 | 21:43 |
| zk | with no "=" | 21:43 |
| JDLimbo | ok | 21:43 |
| nemilar | haha, before my time | 21:43 |
| LjL | eek, if it connects to the internet, then the cable is good. i still think something may be wrong on the router to be honest. you say you SSH to your server, right? so, open port 22 on the router briefly, and let me see if your ssh server is reachable | 21:44 |
| LjL | eek: (make sure all your accounts have passwords) | 21:44 |
| Mudkipz | lol; | 21:44 |
| Mudkipz | it's a trap! | 21:44 |
| eek | LjL: ok they do | 21:44 |
| mutton | can someone assist me in removing ubuntu + grub from a dual boot with vista, I don't have a vista DVD to fix my MBR with | 21:44 |
| LjL | ngzn: are you familiar with editing sources.list? | 21:44 |
| nemilar | LjL: if you need to test ssh'ing somewhere, I'm open @ nemilar.ath.cx | 21:44 |
| Chewy954 | whats the best macro recorder for linux? | 21:44 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: for years i hadnt even bothered with linux, i figure i give it a chance, Ubuntu was suggested to me, from local source. i think i would rather have a more stable plt though | 21:44 |
| LjL | nemilar: i don't need to test, he needs to test | 21:44 |
| pinkbunny | mutton, #windows might be able to help if no one here lends a hand. | 21:44 |
| misslecommander | any suggestion on mos stable linux distro ? | 21:45 |
| nemilar | LjL: that makes more sense, heh | 21:45 |
| mutton | thanks pinkbunny | 21:45 |
| eek | LjL: done | 21:45 |
| Cpudan80 | mutton: You need your Vista disk, if your stupid OEM didn't give you one - call up and demand it | 21:45 |
| LjL | !info xmacro > Chewy954 | 21:45 |
| Strider_ | No one? | 21:45 |
| Chewy954 | LjL: That has a GUI :p | 21:45 |
| nemilar | misslecommander: yeah I took a break from linux between 2.4 and 2.6, ubuntu is the first desktop-stable linux distro I've liked... I was using mac os 9 for a while in between | 21:45 |
| Chewy954 | I tried xmacro | 21:45 |
| Cpudan80 | mutton: There are 3rd party ways to get it restored, such as BartPE and such, ask ##windows | 21:45 |
| LjL | eek: connection refused. port 22 is not open (or the ssh server is not running) | 21:45 |
| Chewy954 | not my cup of tea | 21:45 |
| Chewy954 | doesnt do what i need | 21:45 |
| JDLimbo | I had compiz-fusion running just fine in feisty, and just upgraded to gutsy today. Now when I run compiz-fusion (compiz --replace) it gets rid of my titlebars. The closest thing to an answer I could find was to add gtk-window-manager to the window decoration option in ccsm, but that doesn't seem to be working | 21:45 |
| Chewy954 | Like randomize numbers | 21:45 |
| mutton | Cpudan80; that won't happen. i bought this from walmart. | 21:45 |
| FloodBot1 | Chewy954: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 21:45 |
| LjL | Chewy954, i don't think there's plenty of choices. | 21:45 |
| brobostigon | misslecommander: i first tried solaris which is proprietry, but than found linux with is open source | 21:45 |
| Chewy954 | :\ | 21:45 |
| pinkbunny | mutton, can you still boot to your Vista install? | 21:46 |
| Cpudan80 | mutton: What brand on PC is it? | 21:46 |
| nemilar | yo Eck, are you eck?? | 21:46 |
| mutton | pinkbunny: right now, yes. but i'd like to remove ubuntu and i know that if i do that grub pitches a fit | 21:46 |
| zk | LjL: "exit 0" that's in rc.local | 21:46 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: i think i have this going pretty good now. Firefox was dying on me, i believ on account i had !flash installed. i should really back it up | 21:46 |
| eek | nemilar: are you speaking to me? | 21:46 |
| nemilar | eek: no, I recognize Eck from another server, wondering if it's the same person | 21:47 |
| Karyn_bear | Ubuntu by default has all it's ports closed, is that correct? | 21:47 |
| LjL | Chewy954: also, you can do whatever you want, really, as long as you wrap it in a shell script... including generating random numbers, although it puzzles me a bit that you'd want to do that in a macro | 21:47 |
| misslecommander | nemilar: thanks for the info, i best get to making sure i dont lose my progress | 21:47 |
| grody | no Karyn_bear | 21:47 |
| LjL | Karyn_bear: by default, there is nothing listening on ports (except one perhaps)... but there is no firewalls actively keeping ports closed, by default. | 21:47 |
| tanner | is there a command line utility (sox?) to add x amount of silence to an audio file? | 21:47 |
| grody | only a few services are opened, dhcp & sometimes hplip printing service | 21:48 |
| Karyn_bear | oh | 21:48 |
| nemilar | eek: you're trying to setup sshd right? I'm coming into the conversation late | 21:48 |
| eek | LjL: my linksys says port 22 both 192.168.1.12 enabled also on box 100 and my buddy has loged in before? | 21:48 |
| pinkbunny | mutton, on Vista, download http://www.rondutt.com/dfiles/recover.zip and use Command Prompt and run the bootsect.exe program to fix install the Vista bootloader to your mbr. | 21:48 |
| LjL | zk: that's what should normally be there... i think the problem really lies something else, try checking /var/log/syslog | 21:48 |
| grody | but Karyn_bear, if you're worried about being probed, install firestarter or something | 21:48 |
| JDLimbo | whoops | 21:48 |
| grody | simple firewall gui :) | 21:48 |
| JDLimbo | nvm | 21:48 |
| Karyn_bear | LjL: can you setup your linksys router to support WEP AND WPA2? | 21:48 |
| LjL | eek: eh? i couldn't parse that sentence. "both" what? what is "box 100"? | 21:48 |
| JDLimbo | fixed it m'self | 21:48 |
| mutton | pinkbunny: so I'd run that after i go into vista and format my ubuntu main+swap? | 21:48 |
| dappermuis | im using xrandr and when I enter xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 I get the error "xrandr: cannot find output "S-video"" - any ideas? | 21:48 |
| nemilar | eek: your port 22 is closed to the outside world, if it's the same IP you're connecting to IRC through | 21:48 |
| LjL | Karyn_bear: i don't know a thing about linksys routers | 21:49 |
| Karyn_bear | ok thanks grody | 21:49 |
| eek | nemilar:i 'm having port problems | 21:49 |
| pinkbunny | mutton, first fix your mbr then remove ubuntu (use the disk management utility in Vista), that way you dont screw up grub and end up with an unbootable system. | 21:49 |
| randomshadowbm1 | how do i get 32-bit firefox to look nice? | 21:49 |
| mutton | thankyou pinkbunny, much obliged | 21:49 |
| nemilar | randomshadowbm1: that's a strange question | 21:49 |
| Kurcz_ | hey | 21:49 |
| randomshadowbm1 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins?action=show&redirect=Firefox2AMD64Flash9Java | 21:49 |
| eek | LjL: i have two machines here 192.168.1.12 & 192.168.1.100 | 21:50 |
| LjL | !info xnee | Chewy954, there seems to be this one too | 21:50 |
| Kurcz_ | for some reason my sound stopped working | 21:50 |
| LjL | probably even more limited | 21:50 |
| ubotu | chewy954, there seems to be this one too: xnee (source: xnee): X event recorder/replayer. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.08-3 (gutsy), package size 70 kB, installed size 220 kB | 21:50 |
| pinkbunny | mutton, extract the contents of that zip in vista, use command prompt and CD to wherever you extracted it. simply run bootsect.exe and it will give you a mini-help of how to fix mbr/bootsector/etc. | 21:50 |
| randomshadowbm1 | i followed that guide, everything works but firefox 32-bit is ugly | 21:50 |
| Chewy954 | thank ubotu | 21:50 |
| Chewy954 | will check it out | 21:50 |
| LjL | eek, well, the same port can be forwarded to *one* machine *or* to the other, it cannot be forwarded to *both* at the same time | 21:50 |
| leoncamel | my pidgin crashed while I try to login with a "proxy", is there anybody confirm it ? | 21:50 |
| flyingsloth1 | You all know about the scientology raid, | 21:51 |
| eek | LjL: two stupid routers 192.168.0.1 & 192.168.1.1 the first one should be wide open | 21:51 |
| flyingsloth1 | you can help: sudo apt-get install hping3 | 21:51 |
| Kurcz_ | for some reason my sound stopped working, nothing is muted, and my alsamixer is set to full, just nothing comes out | 21:51 |

| robdig | KrisWood: while in recovery mode, look at the system log, and see what the last command was before you rebooted. it is located at /var/log/syslog. you can use less to page through it or an editor. once you find which one is hanging, then perhaps we will have a suggestion for you | 21:56 |

| robdig | nickrud: mine neither | 22:23 |
| iuri | un_op: kerneltrap??? what is it? from http://kernel.org website? | 22:23 |
| dissident | un_op:i don't get it /dev/sdb1 is my hdd how can i write to it please, probably my fault but it's way too difficult for me | 22:23 |
| frameset | hi | 22:24 |
| Krumar | hey, i'm having a bit of trouble with flash, i'm trying to use adobe flash client, i'm going though snaptic, it downloads, but when i look at output, it passes the check sum but then puts up a message saying flash is not installed | 22:24 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: Is it a nightmare to turn on direct rendering for me? You know, with that ATI card I got if you remember. | 22:24 |
| robdig | nickrud: so you never heard of something like this? | 22:24 |
| KrisWood | arcad3, did it hang on boot up at all on these scsi checks? | 22:24 |
| un_op | iuri, i'm not much of a git expert -- i've just installed it to have a look at what it was like -- and btw - kerneltrap.org -- you could probably put this phrase in google -- "site:kerneltrap.org git howto" | 22:24 |
| nickrud | robdig: never | 22:24 |
| Elvis_the_King | hello there | 22:24 |
| Karyn_bear | anyone know how i can find "bittorrent" ? | 22:24 |
| arcad3 | yes | 22:24 |
| jdlimbo | I tried to enable dual-monitor in gutsy, and now the damn'd thing wont even get to a login | 22:24 |
| Karyn_bear | i installed it with Synaptic Package Manager | 22:24 |
| magic_ninja | has the xserver problem been fixed | 22:24 |
| Slart | nownot: so, you've got v6.2.4... you've got two choices.. install a newer imagemagick from source.. or nag the developers of rmagick to support older versions of imagemagick.. if you want to do the former, go here http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php#unix | 22:24 |
| magic_ninja | i just updated and now i'm getting problems | 22:24 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: that was the 9550, right | 22:24 |
| un_op | Karyn_bear, try - ls -l /usr/bin/*torrent* | 22:24 |
| KrisWood | arcad3, what was the solution? | 22:24 |
| Elvis_the_King | anybody own sony pxxx or m600i phones ? how they do with ubuntu ? | 22:24 |
| * jdlimbo is running from a feisty liveCD | 22:24 | |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: correct :D | 22:25 |
| Karyn_bear | ok | 22:25 |
| iuri | un_op: thanks a lot | 22:25 |
| nownot | Slart: you think i need to pass any parameters with configure | 22:25 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: I forget where we left off, run glxinfo | grep direct | 22:25 |
| arcad3 | when u make the virtual drive from OS list check Ubuntu | 22:25 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: it returns no. | 22:25 |
| Karyn_bear | un_op said command not found | 22:25 |
| * jdlimbo is starting to think he may have to just run a clean install | 22:25 | |
| Slart | nownot: I have no idea.. check the link I gave you | 22:25 |
| Karyn_bear | let me try agai | 22:25 |
| un_op | dissident, to write (or even read for that matter) .. you need to mount it first -- at a terminal - sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o mode=4755 | 22:25 |
| Karyn_bear | again* | 22:25 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: system->admin->restricted drivers , select ati : have you done that? | 22:25 |
| KrisWood | arcad3, I don't understand what that means :-/ | 22:26 |
| un_op | Karyn_bear, what command not found tho -- be specific? | 22:26 |
| Vad1 | Is packages.ubuntu.com search broken or is it just me? | 22:26 |
| Karyn_bear | nvm i typed it wrong | 22:26 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: its enabled. | 22:26 |
| Karyn_bear | ls -l /usr/bin/*torrent* -> works now | 22:26 |
| Karyn_bear | says its in usr/bin | 22:26 |
| Slart | Vad1: it's just you | 22:26 |
| Karyn_bear | which is what i thought it was originally in | 22:26 |
| ThipThip | Here's a pretty simple question: If one is sitting at the terminal in a directory with an executable, how does one execute it? | 22:26 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: do you have xserver-xgl installed? | 22:26 |
| un_op | Karotte, what's it actually called then? | 22:26 |
| jdlimbo | anyone know how to disable dual-screen from the command line in gutsy? | 22:26 |
| Slart | ThipThip: ./executablefilename | 22:27 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: Umm... Yea I needed that for compiz-fusion. | 22:27 |
| brobostigon | ThipThip: ./execuable | 22:27 |
| Vad1 | Slart: Try searcing "help ru" | 22:27 |
| nemilar | Karyn_bear: if you know the name of the command, you can use 'which [command]' to locate it (e.g, which gedit ) | 22:27 |
| Slart | Vad1: yes.. keyword missing or error something | 22:27 |
| ThipThip | I see - what does the ,/ do? In other words, why can't I just type it like I might in DOS? | 22:27 |
| un_op | nemilar, but she didnt know what it was called -- which is why we had to resort to listing the directory | 22:27 |
| nemilar | un_op: ahh | 22:27 |
| smultron | how do you generate a SHA256 hash? | 22:27 |
| rendero | hi, anybody knows how to fix that some /etc/init.d/programs , does not run at startup. I have to type /etc/init.d/program manually. | 22:27 |
| Cpudan80 | ThipThip: ./ tells it to run the thing in the current directory | 22:28 |
| Vad1 | Slart: yeah. I'll try google then. | 22:28 |
| ThipThip | ok. | 22:28 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: ah, ok. The problem with ati cards is you need xserver-xgl installed. The problem with xserver-xgl is it interferes with using regular accelerated games and the like. Gotta choose | 22:28 |
| un_op | ThipThip, because the current directory (./) is not in $PATH -- for security reasons | 22:28 |
| Slart | Vad1: what are you looking for? | 22:28 |
| Cpudan80 | ThipThip: If you add ./ to your path (which is basically what windows does) -- you don't have to type it | 22:28 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: xserver-xgl installed to use compiz-fusion, that is | 22:28 |
| Vad1 | Slart: The help files that are in system - help but in russian. | 22:28 |
| nemilar | rendero: you have to add them to /etc/rcX.d | 22:28 |
| Slart | Vad1: the man-pages? | 22:28 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: And if I don't have compiz on - can I play those games? | 22:28 |
| un_op | Cpudan80, for historical reasons (and those of security) -- thats a bad thing to suggest | 22:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Adding ./ your path is not recommended for a variety of reasons | 22:28 |
| Wicks | Lo all - annoying problem! Using 7.10 compiz, ati card (closed driver).... when playing a video (in totem) or playing a game (maybe... planet penguin racer) i get flickering (as if the refresh rate wasnt synced with the video? | 22:29 |
| Vad1 | Slart: No. I need the "Basic Computer Skills" section in fact just to be russian | 22:29 |
| Karyn_bear | ahh i still cant find the launcher un_op | 22:29 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: you would also have to disable the xserver-xgl , a sec | 22:29 |
| Cpudan80 | un_op: Right, which is why I said that last bit :-) | 22:29 |
| xomp | Ok folks, ubuntu/compiz on my laptop is just too painful. Anyone know a good guide to dual boot Windows XP & Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon? | 22:29 |
| dissident | i get a screen how to use mount, what is this | 22:29 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I see, how does one do that? | 22:29 |
| ThipThip | next question: I seem to be having trouble with daemons of various shapes and sizes. At the moment I am trying to use gDesklets, and the program is unable to connect to the gDesklets daemon. I had a similar (but perhaps unrelated) problem of gSchedule being unable to connect to the cron daemon. | 22:29 |
| KrisWood | ok I'm super-stumped :-/ | 22:29 |
| rendero | nemilar, they still are, i tried to guess why some programs start and do not start in /etc/rc0.d and others in /etc/rc1.d and so on | 22:29 |
| un_op | Karyn_bear, i dont follow you? | 22:29 |
| Vad1 | Slart: 80+ year old grandma will be getting a russian xubuntu. But the help files are in english, and she does need a read of the basic computer skills :/ | 22:29 |
| Slart | Vad1: oh.. hmm.. are those translated? didn't know that | 22:30 |
| dissident | do i need to use -- that too | 22:30 |
| nemilar | rendero: the default runlevel I _think_ is rc6 ( I hope someone will correct me on this if I am wrong) | 22:30 |
| Vad1 | Slart: Well, I hope they are.. | 22:30 |
| Karyn_bear | okay, i used Synaptic Package Manager to install Bittorent right? | 22:30 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: i got my wireless working | 22:30 |
| un_op | dissident, dude -- exactly like this: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk -o mode=4755 | 22:30 |
| Karyn_bear | after it finished it never put a shortcut launcher on my tool bar | 22:30 |
| Karyn_bear | or any icon | 22:30 |
| Cpudan80 | lostrose: oh yeah? How? | 22:30 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable <-- when that file exists, xserver-xgl should not start. | 22:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: yes... although ubuntu has a built in BT client | 22:31 |
| xomp | !dualboot | 22:31 |

| nemilar | why did ubuntu do away with inittab :( :( :( | 22:31 |
| CrazyWulf | I'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 7.10. Basically will freeze up on loading linux kernel message. Wanting to install it along side PClinuxOS. The cd boots perfectly fine on my other box that only has Win2003 on it. \ | 22:31 |
| dissident | un_op:i get page how to use mount | 22:31 |
| ere4si | nemilar: rc6 is reboot - default is rc2 | 22:31 |
| Karyn_bear | Cpudan80 where is the BT Client? | 22:31 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I need to log out then back in when I add that file? Or do I need to reboot entirely? | 22:31 |
| Slart | Vad1: I think that's in the Gnome 2 User's Guide | 22:31 |
| bluefish | can somebody help me? | 22:31 |
| nemilar | ere4si: thank you | 22:31 |
| Slart | !info gnome2-user-guide | Vad1 | 22:31 |
| ubotu | vad1: Package gnome2-user-guide does not exist in gutsy | 22:31 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: just log out and back in. | 22:31 |
| ere4si | k | 22:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: It's totally built in as far as I know, if you click a torrent file it should work | 22:31 |
| nemilar | ere4si: I just figured that out with the runlevel command | 22:31 |
| Karyn_bear | ohh | 22:31 |
| lostrose | Cpudan80: found a post on ubuntugeek..... and it finally worked.. its working without the restricted driver now..... madwifi alone. | 22:32 |
| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: try to edit the menus -- maybe the icon just didn't show up | 22:32 |
| jdlimbo | anyone have any idea on how to disable "screen & graphics" tool dual-screen from a command line? otherwise I don't know what to do but reinstall | 22:32 |
| Karyn_bear | let me try that out, thanks Cpudan80 | 22:32 |
| rendero | nemilar, always was ok with that script in rc2 but know, it fails, do you have info about this ? do you think i should put that in rc6.d, basically one script is very important for me, because it does connect to internet and i can manage my pc when i am not at home, and if my pc gets off , somebody just put the start button | 22:32 |
| liorv | Grub Question: am tried to install mutiple partitions on my 4GB USB flash-drive. I partitioned it into 2 partitions, 1 primary (/dev/sdb1 ... aka (hd1,0) has grub. The second (hd1,4) has a copy of the clonezilla-gparted live-cd... which has its own grub menu. I want to link the first to the second,... what do I need to do ??? | 22:32 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: if you haven't heard of the command touch, now is the time to learn it | 22:32 |
| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: right click apps, edit menus | 22:32 |
| bluefish | when i insert a blank cd it wont show it on the desktop and i cant write to it | 22:32 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: I've heard a little, how would I use it? | 22:32 |
| nemilar | rendero: put it in rc2 to have it startup | 22:32 |
| nemilar | rencore_: ..on startup | 22:32 |
| zk | LjL: :D nice one http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52835/ | 22:32 |

| rendero | thanks un_op | 22:33 |
| Karyn_bear | Cpudan80! your right, it was unselected | 22:33 |
| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: the default one is called BitTorrent and is under Internet (disabled by default) | 22:33 |
| Karyn_bear | now its there :) cheers | 22:33 |
| Elevator_Hazard | nickrud: touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable | 22:33 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: do mkdir -p ~/.config/xserver-xgl . then you can use touch ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable to create it, and rm ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable to remove it | 22:33 |
| nemilar | Hey, show of hands, who uses what bittorrent client? | 22:33 |
| nemilar | deluge/azureus/transmission/ktorrent? | 22:33 |
| jdlimbo | nemilar azureus | 22:33 |
| Vad1 | deluge | 22:33 |
| ere4si | nemilar: rtorrent | 22:34 |
| jdlimbo | deluge was having trouble with bigger files | 22:34 |
| dissident | it says not in fstab | 22:34 |
| nemilar | hahe ere4si is oldschool | 22:34 |
| LjL | zk: yeah, i'm there... it's you who's been away for a while, since that paste in PM took about 25 minutes to complete ;) | 22:34 |
| ere4si | :) | 22:34 |
| nickrud | Elevator_Hazard: and this is a nice simple sample for you to try some bash scripting on, if you haven't before | 22:34 |
| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: I suggest Azureus as a client | 22:34 |
| nemilar | jdlimbo: yeah I'm noticing that, which is why I'm looking for a new one | 22:34 |
| Newuserr | hi guys can anybody please help me i cannot watch streams on firefox what i do need to do | 22:34 |

| * jdlimbo sighs | 22:35 | |
| Cpudan80 | Newuserr: That *should* add the ffox plugin for windows media files (which is what you need) -- if not you may have to add another package or two | 22:35 |

| Cpudan80 | Karyn_bear: The decoding stuff is illegal, yes | 22:44 |
| nemilar | Karyn_bear: it's illegal to do anything in the US | 22:44 |
| Flannel | pie-rate: Make sure you set it up to mount as home, but not format | 22:44 |
| Karyn_bear | how come it is not "disabled" on Windows though? | 22:44 |
| Karyn_bear | nemilar: i agree hehe | 22:44 |
| pie-rate | Flannel: yeah i got that part =P | 22:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Karyn_bear: Windows pays the license fee, you pay them | 22:44 |
| Karyn_bear | oh | 22:44 |
| nemilar | Karyn_bear: certain formats are protected by law, and companies have to pay fees | 22:44 |

| nemilar | Rodolfo: there's a download on the real site, it's not in repos | 22:45 |
| Cpudan80 | pie-rate: Mounting just means "hook it in" to /home so you can type /home at the terminal, as long as it doesn't say "format" as Flannel said - you'll be OK | 22:45 |

| crdlb | nabo: ubuntu ships with the intel driver; there is nothing to install | 22:58 |
| creature | itson: You need to enable restricted software, I believe. If you're using the Gnome GUI, you can go to System -> Administration -> Restricted drivers (or similar, I forget the exact option). | 22:58 |
| creature | itson: Then tick the tickybox and follow the prompts. | 22:58 |

| jack-desktop | KrisWood, mrdir <dir> -p will ignore that error next time and do it anyways. | 23:53 |
| mwe | jack-desktop: I forgot the command to regenerate it. dpkg-reconfigure --somthing xserver-xorg I think but I forgot what --somthing is supposed to say. sorry | 23:53 |
| LjL | zk: if it never worked... no. you've probably hit an instance of "bulletproof X" not working. try safe graphics mode, and see also if you can access a text-mode terminal at all with alt+f2 | 23:54 |
| mwe | jack-desktop: in the future make a backup before changing important files :) | 23:54 |
| creature | I've got to a weird stage of the Ubuntu install (via the alternate disc). It wants me to choose a kernel to install. I can pick 'linux-generic', 'linux-image-generic', or 'linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic' (or none). Which one do I pick? | 23:54 |
| stoneman | Hi there i want to remove Gnome DE, and install KDE instead, will all my gnome app's like rutilt etc still be installed once ive removed gnome with sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? | 23:54 |
| stoneman | or will i have to remove the gnome app's individually? | 23:54 |
| LjL | !ubuntu-desktop | stoneman | 23:54 |
| ubotu | stoneman: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 23:54 |
| nugz1212 | you dont have to remove gnome | 23:54 |
| zk | LjL: i can get the text terminal with alt+f2 | 23:54 |
| Chitinid | stoneman: you should just install kde-desktop | 23:54 |
| nugz1212 | you can ;eave it and set kde as your default desktop | 23:54 |
| jack-desktop | mwe, I think I have about 20 backups but I don't know which one is which | 23:55 |
| nugz1212 | leave* | 23:55 |
| Chitinid | yeah, what nugz said | 23:55 |
| pyrops | why does it say this when i try to install alsa? E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 23:55 |
| stoneman | ive done sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop is this method ok? | 23:55 |
| mwe | jack-desktop: can't you tell from the time stamp, which one was the original? | 23:55 |
| nugz1212 | yah | 23:55 |
| LjL | pyrops: you probably have another package manager (synaptic?) running. see « ps aux | grep apt » | 23:55 |
| Jangari | will gparted allow me to partition off some hard drive space while it's in use? | 23:56 |
| Darkmystere | Is there a way to have a Flash Game running if the Flash isnt working propperly? | 23:56 |
| Jangari | or should i use a liveCD? | 23:56 |
| SubOne | How can I make sure my MySQL server can be accessed from a remote host? | 23:56 |
| LjL | zk: then do « sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg » from there, and select the "vesa" driver. see if X then starts with « sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart » | 23:56 |
| nugz1212 | dang, still getting file creation error | 23:56 |
| pyrops | yeps | 23:56 |
| mwe | jack-desktop: what I do is rename the original to file.dist so I don't forget which one is the original if the backups pile up :) | 23:56 |
| bkar | Jangari-> you like to live with exciting lifestyle? hehe | 23:56 |
| Jangari | ha | 23:56 |
| nugz1212 | for the ETQW linux installer, is there a way to show all the errors? | 23:57 |
| zk | LjL: ook...let me note that and i'll give it a try :D | 23:57 |
| timewriter | hi | 23:57 |
| timewriter | anyone runs Feisty with a 8800GT videocard ? | 23:57 |
| Jangari | i take it i shouldn't then, bkar, lest i lose everything? | 23:57 |
| danand | spanther: No! Take a look at http://www.mail-archive.com/expert@linux-mandrake.com/msg40533.html for a list of codes | 23:57 |
| timtux | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/DWL-G122_%28Rev_B%29 does anyone know if these instructions still are of interest for gusty? (if they work) | 23:57 |
| nemilar | mEck0: hey did anyone help you yet? | 23:57 |
| bkar | Jangari-> well, you can chalk it up as a learning experience | 23:57 |
| timtux | Because i've been trying to get that damn adapter to work for days now :-P | 23:57 |
| spanther | danand, thank you very much hehe :) | 23:57 |
| Jangari | i suppose it's a recent installation anyway | 23:57 |
| m1r | timtux , dwl-g122 , which revision ? | 23:57 |
| timewriter | how do i install kernel source on feisty ? | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | !kernel | 23:58 |
| Mannequin | hi, is there anyway to find out if a NIC is auto-mdix capable? | 23:58 |
| ubotu | The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 23:58 |
| stoneman | i dont know where to ask this next question, but how good is 64bit native support for ubuntu? | 23:58 |
| Jangari | but i need to install windows on my work machine, but i want to keep linux, obviously, | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | Mannequin, the 'ethtool' shows a lot of info about network cards. It may or may not show that. | 23:58 |
| yon | Hey guys | 23:58 |
| Mannequin | thanks Dr_willis | 23:58 |
| timewriter | brb | 23:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | timtux: Instructions that get any device working are always of interest. | 23:58 |
| bkar | Jangari-> i have not done it myself, to reduce an ext2 or ext3 partition | 23:59 |
| m1r | timtux, should work by default | 23:59 |
| spanther | okay reboot ^^ | 23:59 |
| Jangari | so i need to run a dual boot, meaning I'll have to partition off some space, and I'll doubtlessly have to restore the grub loader, as windows' mbr will overwrite it | 23:59 |
| yon | For some reason when i start up my USB hdd does show, but all the other hdds do (internal) is this normal? | 23:59 |
| timtux | m1r: thers a diffrent between should and does ;P | 23:59 |
| timtux | diffrence* | 23:59 |
| mwe | jack-desktop: I think I remember now what the command is to generate what the installer would generate | 23:59 |
