[00:04] thanks a lot RAOF, I'll try it on my hardy machine [00:28] Hi everyone, I'm having this error while trying to install ubuntu-xen-desktop: ubuntu-xen-desktop: "Depends: linux-xen but it is not installable" [00:29] linux-xen is not a package? === crd1b is now known as crdlb [00:32] anyone using google calendar in the latest evolution? [00:42] WorkingOnWise: I just tried it after you mentioned it but could not get it to work [00:43] Spenser309: how did u try it? I am not clear on how to add a google calendar. [00:44] I have read about how to do it, but it was for 2.14 and 2.20 [00:44] open evo, go to the calenders tab [00:44] WorkingOnWise: right click and select add calender [00:45] WorkingOnWise: You will have the option for a google calender] [00:45] so its the same then. did u get the private url from your account? [00:45] It doesnt appear to need it [00:45] It just asks for a username [00:46] thats odd.... [00:47] its not an ical import anymore [00:47] it least it appears [00:47] heh, lennart just tagged PulseAudio 0.9.9. [00:48] nvm i just got it working [00:48] me too.... [00:48] nvm [00:48] sorry [00:48] thought i had it [00:48] wow did they clean that up! [00:48] u dont have it working? [00:48] im not sure any time i click the icon it reasks for my password [00:49] did u check "Use SSL" where u put in your user name? [00:50] i tried that the first time [00:50] I have all my gcal events in evo now...sweet [00:50] but this time it didnt work [00:50] hmmm... [00:50] thats awesome man [00:51] i think it has to do with the fact that I have multiple calenders in google [00:52] it may be. i only have one. do u have multiple in the same account? [00:52] yes [00:53] try matching the name of the cal in evo to the name in gcal maybe? [00:53] btw, it is 2 way now also... [00:53] ill give it a shot [00:53] so I no longer miss Outlook! Weeeeeee [00:54] lol that caused a hard lock and crash of evolution [00:54] that def means im getting somewhere [00:55] lol!! [00:56] Guys anyone here know anything about /srv vs /var/www for serving files via a httpd? [00:56] what's more "standard" and "appropriate" [00:56] /var [00:56] truth is i dont think there is a standard [00:56] Spenser - but doesn't /var contain other kinds of data as well [00:56] but most people use /var [00:56] like tmp [00:57] yes [00:57] so why use var [00:57] instead of /srv ? [00:57] ok thats fine [00:57] Spenser309: I just tried to make a new cal in the gcal web interface, and twice it errored with "Oops, we couldn't save changes, please try again in a few minutes" so there may be an issue at google causing your troubles. [00:57] lol i dunno im just asking [00:57] :X [00:57] lol [00:57] i know i just think that the question is more a matter of personal taste [00:58] Isnt there a Linux Standards Base (LSB) for those types of issues? [00:58] i dunno it just feels wrong to put everything in /var/www when /srv would be more appropriate for serving files [00:58] considering how there is /var/log and /var/tmp etc.. [00:58] /var should be for changing or "variable files" no? [00:59] well you can just put the cgi portion in /var and the static content in /srv [00:59] Anyone else notice nautilus is broken >.> [00:59] You mean, Places->Network, for example? [00:59] I mean everything in general [00:59] :) [01:00] Nautilus isnt coming up for me, No icons on the desktop. If i try to copy an icon from the menu it tries to put it in "/", The actual file manager wont come up at all [01:00] lol [01:00] im reading the File System Standards and it says /srv for all served data [01:00] nothing about /var/www [01:01] so why does my httpd use /var/www by defaut [01:01] :X [01:01] I thing /var/www is a "standard" by Apache maybe? [01:01] cause everyone uses /var/www [01:01] weird [01:01] and it works.... [01:02] i guess so [01:02] :S [01:02] thing...what a dork am I...think..... [01:02] i'm all for change if it makes sense :) [01:02] well i think it does make sense [01:02] burner: look at gobolinux [01:02] f the fedora and suse people if they complain that ubuntu is weird [01:02] i mean /var contains stuff like logs [01:02] and /var/tmp [01:02] ubuntu is wierd.... [01:02] does it make sense to put your html files in the same dir? [01:03] Yeah ubuntu really is weired lol [01:03] or instead use /srv :S [01:03] which makes sense as your system is "serving" files [01:03] nah ubuntu is debian with a cool name [01:03] Damn nautilus lol [01:03] Im sure it will be fixed soon enough though [01:03] * phoul shrugs [01:04] Spenser309: I have many ppl tell me its wierd. they see my windows go up in flames as I close them.... [01:04] WorkingOnWise: lol well thats not default [01:04] it should be [01:04] >.> [01:05] I wish i could get compiz working again on my dualhead [01:05] I wish nautilus would stop being a biznitch [01:05] :P [01:05] phoul: did you run a sudo killall nautilus [01:05] Im going to bet though, An update will fix it today or tomorrow [01:05] I wish I didn't have to install the Nvidia drivers every time i rebooted! [01:06] Spenser309, yeah, donno how much good it did lol [01:06] try starting nautilus in a term see what happens [01:06] after a killall it works, But if you try to move a file with it it freezes up again [01:07] phoul: do you think you should file a bug? [01:07] Like that [01:07] lol [01:07] lol [01:08] I think i will just... not mess with it, Nautilus isnt a big deal to me seeing as i manage my files via gnome-terminal anyways [01:08] it will come back when ever they fix it [01:08] lol [01:08] lol [01:08] Im sure its gotta be up there in priority [01:09] right next to the crab hats [01:09] This might be a good time to try out kde4 though... [01:09] I think Ubuntu should follow the standards and move /var/www to /srv [01:09] meh [01:09] it makes much more sense [01:09] instead of just blindly following debian [01:09] imho [01:10] siriusnova, ubuntu doesnt do anything normally [01:10] lol [01:10] :S [01:10] siriusnova: file a bug start a discussion on the mailinglists [01:10] Spenser309 - i shall [01:10] :) [01:11] * phoul sees that getting a great response.. [01:11] lol [01:12] :( [01:12] lol [01:12] the guys in fedora say /var/www [01:12] lol [01:12] i dunno it just doesnt seem right [01:12] check out gobolinux [01:12] you will like there directory structure [01:12] gobolinux uses its own fs standards i know [01:25] say im compiling my own apps where should i install them to. /usr/bin ? [01:25] i mean what should be install root /usr ? [01:32] siriusnova, you might want to catch up on some basic linux reading [01:32] this is not the place [01:33] well i would except each distro has its own prefix [01:33] some do it in /usr, others do it in /opt [01:33] :S [01:33] i was just wondering what was appropriate for Ubuntu [01:33] some do it in /usr/local [01:37] this is not the channel regardless [01:38] ok my apologies [01:38] don't mention it [02:36] ooH, PULSEAUDIO(aagh,caps!) 0.9.9? [02:36] (sorry, I was mucking around with my screwed-up left CTRL key.) [02:36] (And I must've accidentally bumped caps.) [02:37] Heh. [02:37] Anything particularly shiny in it? [02:40] I'm having a some trouble. Both virtualbox-ose and ubuntu-xen-desktop cannot be installed in due to a lack of virtualbox-ose-modules and linux-xen packages. [02:40] How can I fix this? [02:40] Tried kvm? :) [02:40] What front end can I use to control it? [02:41] virt-manager doesnt have the options i need [02:41] Oh. _Frontend_. Ah... [02:41] I need to be able to have two nics. [02:41] Oh. Well, kvm does support that, but you'll need to check out man qemu to actually configure it. [02:41] virtualbox [02:42] running it fine [02:42] really? [02:42] blkorpheus: Except for the packaged kernel modules, apparently :) [02:42] you have to compile that [02:42] I'd love to build the modules but that requires the virtualbox-ose package doesn it [02:43] /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [02:43] Spenser309, no [02:43] just install the app [02:43] done [02:44] I only had to compile the module if I change kernels [02:44] the problem is that the kernel im running (2.6.24) doesnt have kernel modules prebuilt for it in hardy [02:44] still using the old -3-server kernel [02:44] course not, no worries [02:45] Oh yeah, by my using a question mark, I was implying, "New version?" as a question. [02:45] Therefore, I don't know what's new. [02:45] DanaG: Heh. Right. There is a new version, not yet in Hardy. [02:45] then how do create the kernel modules? [02:45] One cooooool thing about VirtualBox: support for write-through to real hard disks. [02:45] http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads [02:46] Spenser309, you don't, and if you need to, I gave you the string above [02:47] hmm, so in order this is what I need to do in order to install virtualbox-ose. install virtualbox-ose-source in synaptic, run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. install virtualbox-ose [02:48] btw: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup doesnt work: no such file [02:49] I cant install the virtualbox-ose because of a dependancy on virtualbox-ose-modules [02:49] which does not exist [02:49] 2008-01-24: PulseAudio 0.9.9 has been released. The only change from 0.9.8 is a fix for CVE-2008-0008. An upgrade is highly recommended. [02:49] ** RESERVED ** This candidate has been reserved by an organization or individual that will use it when announcing a new security problem. When the candidate has been publicized, the details for this candidate will be provided. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-0008) [02:49] aah. [02:53] anyways i still have the problem [02:55] blkorpheus: do you have an idea about how I can install the package virtualbox-ose despite the fact that its dependenvy's are not fully met? [03:09] mmm fun i booted and didn't have nautilus today... i guess the package got removed in the last update? i should read the thingy more carefully :] [03:12] also, notice about the wacom driver issue [03:13] the latest driver causes xorg to crash when enabled in the config when using the radeon open driver, but it seems to be fixed with the latest development release from the linux wacom driver project [03:13] package needs updating by someone who's packaging foo exceeds my own [03:14] JSharp, does it hve a maintainer ? [03:14] otherwise file a bug and bother the motu guys [03:15] I'm not sure, it got updated when the xorg 7.3 update 'completely' broke it [03:15] * JSharp checks [03:23] BlackDiamonds, I'm a bit new to launchpad... how do I tell if a package has a maintainer? [03:23] launchpad would not contain that information I think [03:23] go to packages.ubuntu.com [03:24] okay [03:24] then find your pacakge [03:24] scroll down to the changelog [03:24] view that and find who has been making all the changes [03:25] here? http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/w/wacom-tools/wacom-tools_0.7.9.3-2ubuntu2/changelog [03:25] looks like that's the source package change log [03:26] upgraded to Hardy and it broke my wireless using iwl3945, in restricted drivers manager shows enable but not available can anyone help? [03:26] yeah [03:26] looks like Timo Aaltonen is the maintainer [03:27] jjlwork: You no longer need restricted drivers. You *should* be able to use iwl3945, which is now in the mainline kernel, + the free firmware which is in linux-ubuntu-modules. [03:27] okay, I'll drop them an e-mail. Or, what's the protocol? [03:28] I would make a bug and then request them to look at it [03:28] JSharp: The protocol is generally to go to www.launchpad.net and file a bug against the package :) [03:28] RAOF, how does one ping another person via launchpad ? [03:29] BlackDiamonds: One doesn't. Why would you want to? [03:29] can you assign them to the bug or subscribe them ? [03:29] how else would they be aware of the bug ? [03:29] BlackDiamonds: You *can*, but they are likely to kill you if you do :) [03:29] RAOF, okay [03:29] heh [03:29] If they're interested in that package, they may well have set themselves as a bug contact (I've done this for a couple of packages). [03:30] Otherwise, there's a whole group of non-devs (ubuntu-bugsquad) whose job it is to check out bugs, confirm that they're in a state that it's worth bringing them to the attention of a dev, and then marking appropriately. [03:30] RAOF: it auto configured the only reason I upgraded was because hardy fixed my fn buttons. What can I do to configure it properly? [03:31] jjlwork: Then it might be a bug. Upgrading to hardy to *fix* things is a bad idea at this point. :) [03:32] lol [03:32] so true [03:32] only minor breakage for me [03:32] I want my damn weather applet back though:-P [03:32] For example, we've just broken nautilus. By design. [03:32] RAOF: I know that, lol, but I figure if the only issue I am having is my wireless *should* be able to do something to fix it [03:33] jjlwork: Yeah. The trick is working out why. Basically, you'd want to pastebin things like your dmesg log. [03:34] Ok, so it's not quite breaking nautilus by design. But the current nautilus doesn't do everything the old nautilus did. [03:34] I like runing develop version [03:34] everyday is xmas [03:35] alwasy new updates [03:35] then if something breaks [03:35] I have a new puzzle [03:35] wheeeee [03:35] dmesg looks the same as it does in 7.10, I did notice a difference in iwconfig it lists it as wlan0_rename rather that eth1 [03:36] You were using iwl in 7.10? [03:36] When it wasn't working very well, at least for me? [03:36] yes, working perfect in 7.1 [03:38] Does anyone know how to burn a bootable iso that uses .ccd .img .sub [03:38] I dled a iso image and i need to burnz it for school but im not sure how to use this, THey are all for 1 image [03:39] Hey. [03:39] I'm having issues mounting my iPod. [03:40] jjlwork: You probably weren't using the iwl drivers then :). You were probably using the ipw3945 drivers from the restricted manager. [03:41] how can I tell [03:41] is there a command I can use that tells me what I was using? [03:41] No, not really. [03:42] What's the actual problem, again? [03:42] I am on the wirelss right now but I selected 2.6.22-14-generic when booting (I think that means I am using 7.10 now instead right?) [03:42] o/` Is it wicked not to care? o/` [03:42] jjlwork: No, that means you're using the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel. Everything else will still be from Hardy. [03:43] Anyone know? [03:43] ahhh, well then it works with the older kernel but not with the new one [03:43] does that help narrow it down? [03:44] jjlwork: Not really. Do you have linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-4-generic installed? [03:50] "Unable to mount the volume 'Hitachi'. [03:50] Mount point /media/HFS+ does not exist. [03:50] WTF? [03:51] For one, it's not the right place to mount it; for another, it should CREATE the mount point! [03:53] is there a command that I can type that tells me if I have linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-4-generic installed? [03:54] okay, I reported that bug so hopefully it'll get fixed before release [03:56] jjlwork: "aptitude show linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-4-generic" should work. [03:58] thanks, yes it is installed (I will add that command to my repetoire:) [03:58] Ok. [03:58] So, again, what is the actual problem? [03:59] When I use the new kernel I can't get wirelss to work, it looks like it is working fine, but can't detect or join any networks [04:00] ie: what part of the wireless stack fails to work - wlan0_rename isn't created? doesn't show up in network manager? [04:00] it shows in network manage and wlan0_rename is created and looks fine in dmesg [04:00] Ok. It just doesn't see any networks? [04:00] it just doesn't *do* anything [04:00] yes [04:01] and I can't manually tell it to join them either [04:01] Ok. [04:01] Well, I'd suggest just filing a bug. [04:02] thanks, did that already, I'll wait and see then :) [04:02] Fair enough. [04:04] any suggestions on what to put in the bug report to help the dev team make sense of what I am trying to tell them? [04:04] all I put was that it wan't working lol [04:05] Well, dmesg logs are good. The versions of everything. *Precisely* what you've tried. [04:06] by versions of everyhting do you mean pasting the results of apt-show-versions [04:07] I'm not sure what that output would be, I've never used it. [04:07] What I meant was the version of everything vaguely related: the linux-image package, linux-ubuntu-modules, network manager, nm-applet, etc. [04:09] Oh yeah, to fix the wlan0_rename naming, look in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules [04:11] heh wlan0_rename i kindof like it [04:53] I'm having issues mounting my iPod. Anyone know how to fix this? [04:56] !doesntwork | r00723r0 [04:56] r00723r0: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [04:56] RAOF, it isn't mounting, period. [04:56] When you...? [04:56] My iPod just has the charging thing on it. [04:56] When I do anything. [04:57] Such as? [04:57] Try to mount it, reboot, sudo everything previously mentioned. [04:57] And by "try to mount", you presumably mean running "mount " from a terminal? [04:58] So, things to do: post *exactly* what you try (this probably means pasting in the command line you're using). [04:59] And what happens: since it's not getting mounted, there'll be some error messages. What is the terminal output, and what gets added to dmesg (pastebin these). === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK [06:53] dr. emmet brown, are you there?

[13:40] slytherin: I'd guess it's something to do with the nautilus work going on, they're working on it as far as I know. [13:40] Hi guys. I have noticed a change in Nautilus from 7.10 and that is if i type ssh://server in Hary it mounts as SFTP but in 7.10 it just browses the file system with sshfs (i think) The point is, SFTP seems much slower. Transfer of my 10GB backup takes 23 hours insted of 4 with 7.10. Anyone know if I can revert to sshfs in nauilus ? [13:40] mrtimdog: hm, I will wait for few days [13:40] i use gnome commander as shell [13:41] cavediver: As of now, looks like nautilus is going through an overhaul. So many things may not work as expected. [13:41] i see [13:42] alteregolio: file opening was never dependent on extension in *nix world [13:43] i apoliogize it, [13:43] mr. van driessen [13:46] alteregolio: No one asked you to apologize. The reason I asked the question was because it was an unexpected behaviour after upgrading from gutsy. [13:48] slytherin: from gutsy to hardy? [13:49] something is messed up with atl1 [13:49] scizzo-: yes. looks like after effect of nautilus/gio work [13:50] what is the filetype on the file then? [13:51] scizzo-: without extension it reports application/octet-stream [13:51] scizzo-: s/it/nautilus [13:52] slytherin: and if you ask it with file command?
