| danbhfive | bernier: if you are asking, you probably shouldn't | 00:02 |
| danand | foug - hmm can you not put the dvd in the other drive - this may be where dvd player program is looking by default! | 00:03 |
| lime4x4 | what is the best way to install drivers for a nvidia 630i main board? Ubuntu doesn't recognize over half of my hardware | 00:03 |

| hanophix33 | is there a gnome amorak out there? | 00:06 |
| === Jannitax is now known as Jannita | ||
| hanophix33 | amarok | 00:07 |
| kitche | hangthedj: banshee pretty much | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | You can run amarok under gnome if you want | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | hanophix33: exile | 00:07 |
| zoke | is there a flash solution yet ? | 00:07 |
| bod_ | hey guys,.,. so im runnng on a virginmedia 2mb broadband line (im connected by ethernet cable) but i get really slow surfing speeds,.,. on my routers page it says i have 2 dns's,. now i have both of them typed in and i assume it uses the first one by default,.,. so i removed the second one and got a really bad ping,. i swithched them around and got a better ping,.,. can i use other dns's other then the ones listed n my routers page? | 00:07 |
| bod_ | if so where would i find the adresses? | 00:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | exile/banshee, really don't compare to Amarok, I'd install KDE dependencies t use Amarok, if it were me(and thats what I did) | 00:07 |
| Whyvas | soldierboy, it's on the hard drive genius, it won't do anything. | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | zoke, theres a lot of little work arounds. I found a .deb at the !flash factoids second link that i use. | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | !flash | zoke | 00:08 |
| ubotu | zoke: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 00:08 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 00:08 |
| hanophix33 | dr-willis: themes dont work | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | hanophix33, what themes? | 00:08 |
| hanophix33 | amaroko themes | 00:08 |
| hanophix33 | found, obviously at kde-look | 00:08 |
| RandomUbuntuUser | Quick question: Is there a Gnome alternative to Alacarte? | 00:09 |
| danand | RandomUbuntuUser - ??? alacarte - easy GNOME menu editing tool | 00:09 |
| Cpudan80 | RandomUbuntuUser: That works in gnome, it is built into Gutsy | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis | hanophix33, no idea. could be they are older thmees no longer supported. | 00:10 |
| danand | RandomUbuntuUser - alacarte is for Gnome! | 00:10 |
| RandomUbuntuUser | Cpudan80, Mine is buggy in Gutsy.. And I was looking for somehting to replace it.. | 00:11 |
| Cpudan80 | hrm.... dunno | 00:11 |
| danand | RandomUbuntuUser - ahhh ...the penny drops ... sorry | 00:11 |
| RandomUbuntuUser | Np guys. Thanks! | 00:11 |
| foug | danand: ok i tried the other dvd drive, and it justs hangs | 00:11 |
| foug | danand: and it makes noises like the dvd is spinning but the program is doing nothing | 00:11 |
| RandomUbuntuUser | So NEW question: How do you manually edit the gnome menu? | 00:12 |
| === nephyll is now known as Nephilin | ||
| PriceChild | RandomUbuntuUser, right click it and choose "edit menu" | 00:12 |
| bod_ | RandomUbuntuUser, right click on the word applications | 00:12 |
| Dr_willis | RandomUbuntuUser, the menus are generated from the variuos .desktop files on the system. if you want the hard-kore way :) | 00:12 |
| PriceChild | Dr_willis, he said gnome not hard-Kore kde ;) | 00:13 |
| danand | foug - sorry - I'm at a loss now :( | 00:13 |
| bod_ | can someone give me a dns plz? | 00:13 |
| RandomUbuntuUser | De_willis, that is exactly what I need.. Could you give me the paths to these files? | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | How about Old-Skool. :) | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | RandomUbuntuUser, not really. do a locate .desktop | 00:13 |
| foug | i don't understand how ubuntu can't play DVD's by default. That's as stupid as the Wii not playing DVD's | 00:13 |
| lemontea | how i change english langauage to chinese language display??? | 00:13 |
| teodra | how can i login as root in ubuntu without asking me for the password for some command i type.. ex. apt-get ?? | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | RandomUbuntuUser, theres several places. and i dont kow th details | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | foug, for ubuntu its LEGAL reasons.. for the Wii its for Cost reasons. | 00:13 |
| PriceChild | foug, because it may be illegal in america. | 00:14 |
| bod_ | teodra, i wouldnt recommend doing that | 00:14 |
| foug | playing DVD's is old technology though, lol | 00:14 |
| comicinker | foug: by a dell laptop with ubuntu, then you get what you want | 00:14 |
| PriceChild | foug, and that makes it possibly less illegal | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | foug, legally ubuntu can not include dvd playback. If the wii wanted to incliude dvd playback they have to pay the dvd concortium like $10 a wii. | 00:14 |
| bod_ | PriceChild, illegal to watch dvd's? | 00:14 |
| danand | foug - you woulda thought so !! | 00:14 |
| RandomUbuntuUser | Dr_willis, the ".desktop" helps a TON. Thanks! | 00:14 |
| lemontea | How can i change the settings to view chinese language display??? | 00:14 |
| teodra | bod_ i want to know.. pls | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | RandomUbuntuUser, check freedesktop.org for info on the spec I think. | 00:14 |
| ompaul | lemontea, ask in #ubuntu-cn | 00:15 |
| PriceChild | bod_, foug, libdvdcss has never been challenged in court, but it is probably illegal. | 00:15 |
| foug | so, if by law, it is illegal for ubuntu to play DVD's, then how does ubuntu and let alone linux plan on going anywhere in the OS market? | 00:15 |
| bod_ | teodra, i dont no the answer,.,. but if u dont no the answer then its probably not a good idea | 00:15 |
| ouellettesr | does anyone know of a program that will allow me to creat wiring diagrams | 00:15 |
| danand | bod_ : libdvdcss breaks the encryption on the dvd - this is illegal in some countries | 00:15 |
| Dr_willis | there are LEGAL dvd players for Linux. BUt they are not free. | 00:15 |
| teodra | bod_ ok :) thnx.. but iam sure i can do that | 00:15 |
| bod_ | PriceChild, danand, oh cheers | 00:16 |
| foug | Dr_willis: it is software? | 00:16 |
| ompaul | foug, ask the millions of people who use it already, and it only illegal in the US and places with dumb patent laws and that is not the whole planet and there are things you can do | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | foug, dvd's are not the only things people use comptuers for. | 00:16 |
| lenswipe | hi there | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | foug, yes. I recall some disrtos including the player. but they are not free. | 00:16 |
| bod_ | teodra, wot r u trying to do that u need to be root user for? | 00:16 |
| ompaul | !u | bod_ | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | I cant even rember the last time i played/watched a movie dvd. | 00:16 |
| foug | where can i find libdvdcss? it isn't in the repo's | 00:16 |
| ompaul | !rootsudo | bod_ | 00:16 |
| lenswipe | can someone answer a question for me? | 00:16 |
| PriceChild | !dvd | foug | 00:16 |
| PriceChild | !ask | lenswipe | 00:16 |
| ubotu | bod_: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 00:16 |
| lenswipe | please | 00:16 |
| ubotu | bod_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 00:16 |
| ubotu | foug: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 00:16 |
| ubotu | lenswipe: 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. :-) | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | Dvd playback under ubuntu is documented all over. :) | 00:17 |
| teodra | bod_ it's boring :) it's asking me always | 00:17 |
| PriceChild | Dr_willis, but not always well | 00:17 |
| d3ng4r_chris | Hi, I need some help with my sound card | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | PriceChild, ive had dvd disks that crash windows players.. but worked under linux. :) figure that one out. | 00:17 |
| d3ng4r_chris | It's a ICH8 Family sound card | 00:17 |
| bod_ | teodra, so wot happens when someone logs into 'your' machine as root because u removed the password then deltes all ur config files? | 00:17 |
| ompaul | !audio | d3ng4r_chris | 00:17 |
| ubotu | d3ng4r_chris: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:18 |
| PriceChild | Dr_willis, i was talking about the documentation | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | PriceChild, and it was a Legal/commercial DVD of starwars. Crashed 4 laptops at work.. but my Linux laptop played it fine. | 00:18 |
| lenswipe | does anyone know what the default number permissions for the /var/www folder in ubuntu gutsy is? | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | PriceChild, heh :) | 00:18 |
| PriceChild | Dr_willis, e.g..... "use automatix to install it easy as pie!!!" | 00:18 |
| teodra | bod_ no one can do it :) iam sure.. i don't have ftp ssh and i also have firewall | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | PriceChild, i perfer 'mint linux' :) | 00:18 |

| sadaiyappan | I have a problem with my Upnp media server. | 00:27 |
| peace | how can i find log file.. | 00:28 |
| Taza | Windows rocks. <3 | 00:28 |
| sadaiyappan | It doesn't work right. | 00:28 |
| sadaiyappan | Can someone tell me a good UPNP media server for PS3? | 00:28 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: runaway process? right click the panel, add the system monitor. Change the colors for the processor to contrasting ones, you can see your cpu useage clearly | 00:28 |
| ompaul | Jangari, I could say man chmod but I rather people get help that gets them understanding what they need to do :) | 00:28 |
| ompaul | Jangari, I wanted to see if the user knew what they were actually doing | 00:28 |
| d3ng4r_chris | back | 00:28 |
| ompaul | Taza, you are offtopic | 00:29 |
| sadaiyappan | ? | 00:29 |
| foug | how do i change language with Mplayer? My movie is playing in spanish | 00:29 |
| Jangari | oh, pardon, ompaul, i mean that for lenswipe | 00:29 |
| ompaul | Jangari, :) | 00:29 |
| Taza | ompaul: Actually, just investigating a rumour here. | 00:29 |
| d3ng4r_chris | I'm looking for some assistance with my alsa | 00:29 |
| sadaiyappan | I need assistance with my UPNP. | 00:29 |
| mikebot | nickrud_: Which processor? | 00:29 |
| Jangari | anyone use alpine for email? | 00:29 |
| hnaz | mikebot: top might help you here | 00:29 |
| d3ng4r_chris | it's hda-intel | 00:30 |
| mikebot | hnaz: top? | 00:30 |
| hnaz | mikebot: open top in a terminal, press F for sorting mode and then n for sort-by-memory-usage | 00:30 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: your microprocessor. You can use that tool to see your usage. Nice graphical tool, shows a couple things clearly that top is obscure on | 00:30 |
| hnaz | then you see which process hogs your RAM | 00:30 |
| peace | desertc whee i can see log file..and where to look in it.. if i go system/administration/system log..then its a big file..i dont know where to look.. | 00:30 |
| sadaiyappan | I need assistance with my UPNP. | 00:30 |
| mikebot | nickrud_: There are like6 that are blue | 00:31 |
| mikebot | hnaz: OK, I got that. | 00:31 |
| mikebot | hnaz: But I cannot read it unfortunately. | 00:31 |
| hnaz | mikebot: ah, yes. system monitor is probably more gnome integrated :-) | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis | sadaiyappan, you could give a liuttle more details as to your whole setup and what you are trying to do. You got LINUX set up as a upnp server? | 00:31 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: I have user process green, io as red, the others as blue and yellow. | 00:31 |
| hnaz | just open `processes' tab and sort by memory usage...? | 00:32 |
| FunkySem | Hello. Can i make video alls using skype in ubuntu? | 00:32 |
| sadaiyappan | Dr_willis I have ubuntu gutsy gibon and mediatomb and a ps3 | 00:32 |
| mikebot | nickrud_: hnaz: OK, I got both these now, but it looks like they are both really low. | 00:32 |
| sadaiyappan | Dr_willis, the ps3 detd detects the mediatomb and it's files but all the files show up as unsupported data | 00:33 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: when you say running slow, what exactly do you see? slow startup, slow screen repaint .... | 00:33 |
| pkl | i need some help with ./unload command | 00:33 |
| mikebot | nickrud_: Like, maybe it's just Opera, but that opened really slowly. | 00:33 |
| mikebot | nickrud_: And it runs really slowly too. | 00:34 |
| Task | Why Am I having such a hard time creating a Dual boot !??! Its taking me all day and I still cant get it | 00:34 |
| pkl | it says: syntax error | 00:34 |
| hnaz | Task: wow, it should not take longer than 3 minutes, though ;) | 00:34 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: how about other stuff? If it's just opera, then it's an opera problem not ubuntu | 00:34 |
| Task | What is the mounting point suppose to be for windows? | 00:34 |

| hnaz | PriceChild: no | 00:35 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: supposedly. But try some other stuff, make sure it's running right. epiphany for example, it's a quick browser | 00:35 |

| PriceChild | Thanks hnaz | 00:36 |

| mikebot | nickrud_: Haha, how do I do that? | 00:37 |
| desertc | peace: that's how your computer speaks to you :) | 00:37 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: run gedit. is it snappy after you open it? How about openoffice? once it's open, does it lag? That kind of thing | 00:37 |

| goudkov | nickrud_: among other things | 00:38 |
| Tyroazard | Uh, might as well get that issue sorted out while I'm here. | 00:38 |

| bod_ | lol | 00:39 |
| mikebot | nickrud_: What browser do you use? | 00:39 |
| unagi | Tyroazard, has it ever worked | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | goudkov, 'without reformating' is vague. :) | 00:39 |
| nickrud_ | goudkov: if you want to save some data on your install, move it all to a new directory, like /data . Hand delete everything else, and use the alternate install cd. You can tell that installer to not reformat the partition | 00:39 |
| tetzke9 | Linux wont boot from itself i have to use the CD and then choose the Boot drive option so whats happenin? | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | goudkov, i reinstall ubuntu without reformating my /home partition all the time. | 00:39 |
| Task | omg that link was bs | 00:40 |
| nickrud_ | mikebot: firefox mostly. | 00:40 |
| Tyroazard | I just installed it, but, when I did install Ubuntu on my normal computer, this one, it did work, yes. | 00:40 |
| nickrud_ | bod_: you can ask :) | 00:40 |
| Dr_willis | goudkov, but its best to reformat the / partion. | 00:40 |

| britt_ | question: would anybody know why i would be able to send mail from my mail server but not receive mail ? the DNS stuff is correct...any thoughts? | 00:41 |
| nickrud_ | goudkov: yes. But _DO NOT_ just install over the old one, the results are undefined and probably not a good thing | 00:41 |
| PriceChild | tetzke9, you have no partition set with the "boot" flag | 00:41 |
| goudkov | nickrud_: thanks | 00:41 |
| unagi | obviously i mean ubuntu........it would be silly for me to mean osx because, well, you arent trying to get sound working with osx Tyroazard | 00:41 |
| PriceChild | tetzke9, run gparted from the live cd and fix that | 00:41 |

| Jangari | britt_: are your imap/pop settings correct? you would still be able to send mail if only the smtp settings are alright | 00:43 |

| zethero1 | how do I get gzip filles working in Ubuntu? | 00:43 |
| britt_ | Jangari: as in exim is JuSt for SMTP? | 00:43 |
| desertc | zethero1: gzip is on ubuntu by default | 00:43 |
| bod_ | nickrud_, im trying to get a diff DNS to the one im using to see if it speeds my internet up,,.,. the DNS should look like this ,.,. 194.168.4.100,.,. i found that by typing my routers ip adress (192.168.2.1) into a web browser | 00:43 |
| Jangari | exim? | 00:43 |
| britt_ | Jangari: exim4 to be precise | 00:44 |

| zethero1 | desertc: well its not working for me | 00:44 |
| pavera | any ideas what could set my system clock to 1944? | 00:44 |
| desertc | zethero1: do "man gzip" | 00:44 |
| britt_ | Jangari: i think i need to check on this some more. i think your on to something..... | 00:44 |
| PriceChild | pavera, i didn't think linux's clock would go past 1970... | 00:44 |

| sybariten | hey .... i have a live (or semi live) ubuntu on USB memory. Its acting really weird, and some of the bugs seem to be known by others. but i wont go into that now | 00:45 |
| britt_ | Jangari: i havent done this in quite some time , i think i forgot to Install a POP server lol | 00:45 |
| pavera | it is an ubuntu server install running in vmware | 00:45 |
| nickrud_ | bod_: I've been very happy with that, it's opendns.com , has some useful stuff for name that don't resolv. | 00:45 |
| Jangari | your incoming mail server is usually quite distinct from your outgoing server | 00:45 |
| pavera | and randomly over the last couple days, the system time is set to Aug 25 1944 | 00:45 |
| sybariten | but whats your take on this: i used to be able to run firefox - now i always get a segmentation fault..... ??? | 00:45 |
| oxeimon | why do some of my folders in the terminal show up with a green background/blue foreground? | 00:45 |
| peace | at least i know how to watch system log file :D | 00:45 |
| sybariten | can i get a better error dump or output than just what the terminal tells me? | 00:45 |
| bod_ | nickrud_, cheers dude,.,. il try them out | 00:45 |
| aquo_ | pavera: what is your timezone? | 00:45 |
| pavera | so? VMware upgrade? | 00:45 |
| pavera | MST | 00:45 |
| Task | It wont install Grub.. it sends me to Partition manager... and then it tells me some bullshit llike.... thats a invalid mounting point for that system and then tells me to load GRUB and keeps repeating | 00:45 |
| nickrud_ | bod_: switched to it for the same reason you're mentioning, I'd have to wait several seconds at the very least for name resolution from my isp | 00:45 |
| Jangari | until i discovered it, I had the smtp spelled wrong on this machine, so i could do everything but send, including save as draft' | 00:45 |
| zethero1 | desertc: I got a gzip package from Gnome-look.org and tried to extract it ... but it says its an unknown archive type etc.... | 00:45 |
| Jangari | britt_: what client do you use? | 00:46 |
| desertc | zethero1: how did you try to extract it? | 00:46 |
| britt_ | Jangari: right now, mutt | 00:46 |
| Jangari | wtf is mutt? | 00:46 |
| oxeimon | when I type "ls -l" in my terminal, a bunch of my folders have a green background/blue foreground...how do I fix that? | 00:46 |
| britt_ | Jangari: mail client.... | 00:46 |
| britt_ | Jangari: console mail client | 00:46 |
| bod_ | nickrud_, im trying this , then if that dont work il try setting up my own DNS server,. and if that dont work,. im gonna murder everyone who works for virginmedia | 00:46 |
| pavera | this system has been running fine for like 4 months | 00:46 |
| pavera | now suddenly, the last couple days | 00:46 |
| zethero1 | desertc: rightclick and Extract Here..... Archive type not supported. | 00:46 |
| pavera | it keeps thinking WWII is still going on | 00:46 |
| mikebot | How do I add repositories? | 00:47 |
| Jangari | oh yeah? i've actually been looking for a usable console client | 00:47 |
| Jangari | mutt eh? | 00:47 |
| nickrud_ | oxeimon: that is used to differentiate the file types and other stuff. try file <ugly file> to see what it is | 00:47 |
| desertc | zethero1: that's not gzip... that's archive manager | 00:47 |
| limp | Why doesnt phpmyadmin appear in www folder after install? (sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin) | 00:47 |
| Jangari | i couldn't figure out how to get alpine working | 00:47 |
| desertc | zethero1: anyway, it's probably a corrupted archive | 00:47 |
| nickrud_ | oxeimon: like a broken link is red, an executable is green, etc | 00:47 |
| oxeimon | nickrud_: they're mainly directories... | 00:47 |
| aquo_ | pavera: 25. august was the day paris got liberated | 00:47 |
| zethero1 | desertc: oh ok | 00:47 |
| oxeimon | nickrud_: the problem is, many other folders are just blue on white background | 00:48 |
| nickrud_ | oxeimon: ls -ld <dir> | 00:48 |
| pavera | hmm... so, its a french hacker that's rooted my box and is setting the clock back? | 00:48 |
| aquo_ | pavera: maybe the system clock battery is empty. | 00:48 |
| Jangari | can't find mutt, what's the package called? | 00:48 |
| pavera | I already said | 00:48 |
| pavera | its a vmware virtual machine | 00:48 |
| peace | desertc P.S. restricted drivers in use ! - nvidia latest drivers instaled.... so what might be a problem? | 00:48 |
| oxeimon | nickrud_: most directories are blue, except the ones that I got from my external hard drive | 00:48 |
| desertc | pavera: probably estonia | 00:48 |
| jrib | Jangari: mutt :) | 00:48 |
| pavera | the actual physical machine doesn't have this problem | 00:48 |
| pavera | it always thinks the time is right | 00:48 |
| nickrud_ | oxeimon: you can turn off all colors by editing the alias for ls in ~./bashrc | 00:48 |
| Jangari | hmm, apt-cache search doesn't see it | 00:48 |
| limp | Why doesnt phpmyadmin appear in www folder after install? (sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin) do I have to reinstall apache2 WITH phpmyadmin? | 00:49 |

| oxeimon | nickrud_: I want colors, just not these colors... | 00:49 |
| desertc | peace: not sure on that question | 00:49 |
| oxeimon | nickrud_: I want them to look like regular folders. ie, blue on white | 00:49 |
| ubuntuo | hey, what version of "OpenOffic" do you guys have for Ubuntu? | 00:49 |
| aquo_ | pavera: seems strange, looked at dmesg output and rtc drivers? | 00:49 |

| crimsun | d3ng4r_chris: you don't need to remove anything. | 01:06 |

| phoenixz | Flannel, "remove startup services".. That would mean that the entire service gets removed? or only that it will no longer be started? | 01:27 |
| Flannel | britt_: Theres a couple. Dovecot, courier, uh, two more. https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/email-services.html | 01:28 |
| Genius314 | I'm having trouble installing Wacom-tools. | 01:28 |
| sdfo2 | heartsblood, no codec? | 01:28 |
| britt_ | Flannel: so im correct in that exim is just for smtp stuff right | 01:28 |
| Flannel | phoenixz: Just disabled. Thats not a package manager | 01:28 |
| getisboy | dr_willis, i think cp --link creates a hard link, not a symlink | 01:28 |
| aquo_ | Flannel: does he really need a mailserver on localhost to make php mail() work? | 01:28 |
| Flannel | aquo_: Depends on what he's trying to do. | 01:29 |
| heartsblood | sdf02: that wouldn't make a whole lot of sense. gnome can grab a still image from the video for it's 'video preview' effect and I can hear sound when I open it. just no video | 01:29 |
| mikebot | Is there a built in mail client or chat client in firefox? | 01:29 |
| Flannel | mikebot: No. That'd be the seamonkey suite | 01:29 |
| sdfo2 | heartsblood, what you using to play it? | 01:30 |
| mikebot | Flannel: That does both? | 01:30 |
| pike_ | mikebot: thunderbird and chatzilla i think | 01:30 |
| pike_ | mikebot: but theyre seperate clients i dunno about plugins | 01:30 |
| phoenixz | Flannel, iaw, it would ONLY remove the links in /etc/rc.#/...... ? | 01:30 |
| heartsblood | sdf02: totem/vlc/mplayer all give the same pink screen. sound but no video | 01:30 |
| mikebot | Arg., this is why I liked opera =/ | 01:30 |
| Flannel | mikebot: er, not chat. but yeah, chatzilla. Seamonkey is the old mozilla suite | 01:30 |
| heartsblood | sdf02: and just to clarify it's a moving pink screen. | 01:30 |
| Flannel | phoenixz: yes. | 01:30 |
| sdfo2 | heartsblood, what's mplayer say at the console? | 01:30 |
| Flannel | phoenixz: well, it'll disable them in rc.#, they'll still be there | 01:31 |
| joe__ | when I get an email in my hotmail account. I get a notice on amsn, but it wont open. I presume thats cause hotmail tries to open in EI. how can I make it open with firefox? | 01:31 |
| mikebot | Is seamonkey no longer supported and/or updated? | 01:31 |
| mikebot | Or rather, is there an e-mail add-on for firefox? | 01:32 |
| phoenixz | Flannel, effectively not starting up the service.. that's all I needed to knnow.. thanks! | 01:32 |
| sdfo2 | heartsblood, what's mplayer say at the console when trying to open the mp4? | 01:32 |
| phoenixz | Flannel, it actually does delete the symlinks of the app in the /etc/rc.# directories.. which is perfect ;) | 01:32 |
| heartsblood | sdfo2, gonna bash it 1 sec. | 01:32 |
| heartsblood | sdfo2, no errors though | 01:32 |
| heartsblood | sdfo2, er pastebin | 01:33 |

| Kuwanger | If I wanted to move /usr, it should be as simple as making a copy of it (with cp -a, for example), renaming /usr to /usr.bak, then symlinking the new usr to /usr, right? | 01:34 |
| daxroc | Any one know of a solution for the xgl wacom bug , no extended devices found ? | 01:34 |
| mikebot | Flannel: Thanks. | 01:34 |
| mikebot | Flannel: You know of any e-mail add-ons? | 01:35 |

| purpleposeidon | lufis: hallo | 01:35 |

| nemilar | mikebot: thunderbird is pretty good | 01:37 |
| PriceChild | !guidelines | purpleposeidon lufis | 01:37 |
| ubotu | purpleposeidon lufis: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 01:37 |
| mikebot | nemilar: OK, thanks. | 01:37 |
| lufis | purpleposeidon: I don't want to play your chilidsh games! I just want to know how to reconfigure x.org. | 01:37 |
| PriceChild | !xconfig | lufis | 01:37 |
| nemilar | !best | mikebot | 01:37 |
| ubotu | lufis: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 01:37 |
| ubotu | mikebot: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 01:38 |
| mikebot | Does anyone know how to make firefox save my open tabs so that when I close firefox and reopen it all my tabs are back open? | 01:38 |
| Odd-rationale | mikebot: Thunderbird is good. Evolution simply has better gnome intergation. | 01:38 |
| purpleposeidon | lufis: Well, the easiest way is to mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup and restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace | 01:38 |
| Odd-rationale | mikebot: There is a firefox add-on for that. | 01:38 |
| bastid_raZor | mikebot; i used thunderbird for a long time.. then tried out Evolution and now.. my opinion is evolution does a better job | 01:38 |
| pike_ | mikebot: version 2.0 does this automatically in versino 1.* its a plugin | 01:38 |
| nemilar | Evolution is a lot heavier than thunderbird, if you just need a basic email client | 01:38 |
| lufis | purpleposeidon: You could have told me that. | 01:38 |
| LjL | purpleposeidon, lufis: it's an even smaller world when you're banned, so watch out | 01:38 |
| Guest42210 | any of you guys in here using a PPC architecture | 01:38 |

| pike_ | mikebot: well i should say it restores so if you like pkill firefox and relaunch itll ask you if ya want to restore last session | 01:38 |
| mikebot | pike_: I have 2 but it doesn't do that ;/ do I have to set it up? | 01:38 |

| sdfo2 | anyone have an idea what would be causing my ATA timeouts? dmsg here ---> http://pastebin.ca/872836 | 01:45 |

| cjones | thanks | 01:45 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - booting from livecd (even while changing vga settings) gives me "moniter out of range" after the usplash. Similar error on other moniters i've tried. Gparted doesn't boot either. Other stuff that might not be related, ACPI doesn't like my fan, windows doesn't boot(but i think thats just a virus, i'm not worried) | 01:45 |
| mikebot | The only features I need are checking e-mail and RSS | 01:45 |
| Genius314 | javeJake: No. | 01:45 |

| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - I can get to boot options | 01:50 |
| jimmygoon | limp,I still think it should work with localhost/phpmyadmin --- I didn't take you for rude --- I'm not sure what my last message was.... I slipped or something... I meant to say I didn't know :D | 01:50 |

| javaJake | Genius314: to explain, you enabled extra software that isn't as open-source as we'd like them to be (or something like that). Anyways, it just enables more stuff, and then it was able to install kolourpaint. :P | 01:51 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: I think it's as simple as typing in "vga=normal" (without the quotes). | 01:51 |
| lastnode_ | im going from feisty -> gutsy. anything i should know? (anythin bgorken?) | 01:51 |

| mikebot_ | javaJake: Is it light-weight? | 01:54 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - vga=normal gives same error | 01:54 |
| javaJake | mikebot_: fairly | 01:54 |
| lastnode_ | mikebot_: xchat is a very nice gui client | 01:55 |
| limp | daxroc, that didnt do much. Is there a way to get it in www? | 01:55 |

| javaJake | mikebot_: irssi is _very_ light because irssi is for the console. :) | 01:55 |
| daxroc | limp: not sure , think there is. you do have php, mysql installed before installing pma right ? | 01:55 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: I see. When you use vga=normal, do you get several lines of text, then does the monitor switch resolutions automatically? | 01:55 |
| lastnode_ | mikebot_: it's very quick | 01:55 |
| paku | what is the difference between irssi and bitchx? | 01:55 |
| mikebot_ | javaJake: But I want to be able to copy/paste ;? | 01:55 |

| Lifeisfunny | is there a way to set an application window to a viewport by adding something in the menu link command? | 01:56 |
| javaJake | mikebot_: and with screens (as mentioned) if you are remotely logged in from SSH, and your SSH is cut off, you dno't lose anything. You can reconnect to screens as if nothing had ever happened. | 01:56 |
| benanzo | I'm wondering why flashplayer-nonfree is still broken? Is there a technical issue why they havn't fixed it? | 01:56 |
| mikebot_ | javaJake: I don't know whata SSH is haha | 01:57 |
| javaJake | Lifeisfunny: no, but Compiz provides similar capabilities | 01:57 |
| pike_ | benanzo: i cant imagine. the fix has been in proposed repo since about the time problem was discovered. im assuming its some politics or something | 01:57 |
| javaJake | mikebot_: ok, nvm. :) | 01:57 |
| Kuwanger | pike_: Hmm..interesting. Well, I'm not worried so much about the cp. My main concern is just verifying that Ubuntu is sane, storing all the necessary boot files in /bin and /sbin, at least until it mounts the mountpoints in fstab. | 01:57 |
| javaJake | Lifeisfunny: i'm going, so I can't say anything more. Just browse around Compiz' settings. :) | 01:57 |

| sdfo2 | anyone have an idea what would be causing my ATA timeouts? dmesg here ---> http://pastebin.ca/872836 | 01:58 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - i'll just detail the exact method. Boot options screen comes up. add vga=*whatever*. Boots. usplash (or just text booting stuff if nosplash is enabled). At the end of the usplash or when everything is loaded, then the error occurs instintaneously (hardware OS error, if that helps, can tell by the gfx). The resolution doesn' tseem to change at any point there. | 01:58 |
| pike_ | Kuwanger: yeah. should be safe i guess :) | 01:58 |
| nemilar | lastnode_: yeah, I'm trying to decide between google ads and yahoo ads for my site | 01:58 |
| benanzo | From my understanding it's just a matter of updating the md5 and a minor tweak to the install routine -- I'm concerned why this has taken so long -- the problem first started in early Dec. | 01:58 |
| limp | daroc, apache2 php5 mysql5 are all installed and correctly configured, im going to look into apache aliases or downloading the src | 01:58 |
| __mikem | nemilar, how about no ads | 01:58 |
| lastnode_ | nemilar: google is your friend (the search engine). i doubt there are irc channels, but you can try #web | 01:59 |
| nemilar | __mikem: gotta pay for hosting/domains somehow, man | 01:59 |
| Kuwanger | pike_: Such confidence. :) | 01:59 |
| lastnode_ | either way, that's offtopic fot this channel. you can try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic too | 01:59 |
| nemilar | lastnode_: I want to use google (this is getting offtopic, so this is my last line) but they're messing with me | 01:59 |
| cjones | how do you kame it so you can run a script on your desktop in a root term by right clicking on it | 01:59 |
| lastnode_ | nemilar: good man. go to the offtopic channel :) | 02:00 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - also, control+alt+f1 gives me the same barcode error pattern on the screen as booting normally. I get no error (after cntrl-alt-f1) using vga setting appropriate for my screen, and teal barcode with 800x600 w/ 256colors | 02:00 |
| cjones | how do you make it so you can run a script on your desktop in a root term by right clicking on it | 02:01 |
| daxroc | limp: /usr/share/phpmyadmin | 02:01 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: Hmm..rather odd. Well, since you can't actually read anything at that point, I don't think you'll get much farther with the LiveCD. Your best bet is to do what you're doing and use the alternative CD image. | 02:01 |
| limp | daxroc, thanks. going to eat now.. bonne appetit :) | 02:01 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: Then you should be able to manually invoke the problem/manually avoid the problem. | 02:02 |
| benanzo | cjones: Google for "nautilus scripts" -- there's one that will do what you want | 02:02 |
| daxroc | limp: if it was successful it should be available via http://server/phpmyadmin , did you select your apache server from the options ? | 02:02 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwnager - thx for the help tho. This comp has been a ***** to get working | 02:02 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: Hopefully, though, it's just an installation glitch and not a symptom of some hardware being incompataible/broken. | 02:02 |
| RequinB4 | I tried some basic commands on the non-responsive shell, nothing | 02:02 |
| mikebot | Does anyone here use irssi? | 02:02 |

| sethk | jrattner1, chown -R root:root whatever/directory | 02:06 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: But, use whatever version you want. :) | 02:06 |

| Kuwanger | RequinB4: Great! :) | 02:14 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - means there is hope if i get a better driver | 02:14 |
| leila | i don't know how enable the 3d acceleration with the nvidia | 02:14 |
| levander | Does everyone have problems with gmail.com and Firefox on Gutsy? | 02:14 |

| leila | when i try to start a 3d game gnome restart | 02:14 |
| tetzke9 | oh yeah | 02:14 |
| jamiejackson | i'm fine with gmail/ff/gutsy | 02:14 |
| __mikem | leila, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx i think | 02:14 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: Makes me wonder if the LiveCD uses a generic video driver or not. | 02:14 |
| tetzke9 | geokeratz: yes i am | 02:14 |
| __mikem | leila, actually hold on, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 02:15 |
| levander | jamiejackson: I try to create a filter on Gmail and firefox freezes on me. | 02:15 |
| geokeratz | tetzke9, then it's allready installed | 02:15 |
| levander | jamiejackson: consistently | 02:15 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger - ok, so my plan is to install via alt iso, then at install get a root shell and change drivers | 02:15 |
| tetzke9 | geokeratz: the cube and everything? | 02:15 |
| Kuwanger | jamiejackson: How'd you lose /bin/? | 02:15 |
| leila | i installed the nvidia drivers from nvidia web site | 02:15 |
| __mikem | leila, try this | 02:15 |
| leila | 7.10 | 02:15 |
| geokeratz | tetzke9, go to System>preferences>appearance and check EXTRA or CUSTOM | 02:15 |
| __mikem | under the system menu, go to the administration submenu, and select the restricted drivers option | 02:15 |
| jamiejackson | nobody do this: sudo umount -afl <-- that's how i umounted everything, Kuwanger | 02:15 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: With the alt iso, you can do the whole install in text mode, so I think it's more a point of choosing the right drivers. | 02:15 |
| rredd4 | is there a way to have desktop pictures change automatically in 7.10? | 02:16 |
| levander | jamiejackson: Could you try created a filter on gmail? See if it hangs on you to? | 02:16 |
| RequinB4 | Kuwanger, very true | 02:16 |
| Kuwanger | jamiejackson: You umounted root? | 02:16 |
| jamiejackson | levander: as soon as i have any directories from which to run FF ;-) | 02:16 |
| leila | i dont want install the ubuntu nvidia drivers | 02:16 |
| protoloco | i wanna tar a bunch of files /directories.. but i wanna exclude some directories.. how? | 02:16 |
| __mikem | leila, you are sort of going to have to. Besides, i have never had any problems with them | 02:16 |
| tetzke9 | geokeratz: yeah but not the cube and that is it? | 02:16 |
| jamiejackson | Kuwanger: guess so | 02:16 |
| __mikem | And just for the record, those drivers are the nvidia official drivers | 02:17 |
| jamiejackson | fancy, huh? | 02:17 |
| jrib | rredd4: you could write a small script.. or try wallpaper-tray | 02:17 |
| levander | jamiejackson: I think it was Firebug. I disabled that extension, restarted Firefox, and creating a gmail filter seems to be working... | 02:17 |
| Kuwanger | jamiejackson: Well, then, you can't really test how things will work since there's nothing to mount anything. :) | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | rredd4, you could always make up a script that changes them randomly every few min. I do belive theres some tools out to do it as well. | 02:17 |
| Kuwanger | jamiejackson: All you have left is hope that the reboot works out. | 02:17 |
| jamiejackson | I'm in the twilight zone, Kuwanger | 02:17 |
| leila | __mikem: what modules i have to write in xorg.conf? | 02:17 |
| geokeratz | tetzke9, is ctr+alt+left click doing anything? | 02:17 |
| Kuwanger | jamiejackson: Yep. | 02:17 |
| levander | jamiejackson: Nope, it just hung again. It's when I put a email address in the From field of the filter that has a lot of matches to it. | 02:18 |
| tetzke9 | geokeratz:no | 02:18 |
| __mikem | leila, if you use the restricted driver manager, it should do everything for you | 02:18 |
| linchapulin | Can someone view this and help me figure out why audacity is crashing...(it is looking for alsa) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53511/ | 02:18 |
| Kuwanger | jamiejackson: Reminds me of stories of people who setup servers to run a program, then send the system into the halt state so no more programs can be ran. :) | 02:18 |
| __mikem | but before you do that, you might want to undo what ever you tried to do up til this point | 02:18 |
| rredd4 | jrib Dr_willis don't know how to write scripts... will check out wallpaper tray. ty | 02:18 |
| jamiejackson | at least pidgin still works ;-) | 02:18 |
| geokeratz | tetzke9, no cube? then , go to system>preferences>advance desktop effect settings ... and play with your plugins..... | 02:19 |
| Kuwanger | RequinB4: Well, with all luck, be back soon. | 02:19 |
| leila | __mikem: of course but i have installed the vendor drivers, i would like how to enable 3d with this drivers | 02:19 |
| jamiejackson | wonder if i can download sudo and mount, and umm ls? | 02:19 |
| __mikem | leila, just trust me. | 02:19 |
| tacone | tetzke9: you need 4 virtual desktop to see the cube | 02:19 |
| __mikem | Uninstall the binary you got from the website, and use the restricted driver manager. | 02:20 |
| tetzke9 | where do i get that? | 02:20 |

| SpookyET | I have a laptop with a 1680x1050 display. I also have a 1080p TV that works as a PC monitor. In Vista I had no problem, I could clone, extend 1080p, or use the TV at 1080p exclusively. Cloning seems to work, but it will not go higher than 1680x1050. Any advice? | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | zethero1: I don't even have elisa-extra available | 02:34 |
| danbhfive | zethero1: try sudo apt-get install -f | 02:35 |
| EmmerP | Pyro: seems like your perl is broken, try fix that first before running your config file or svn | 02:35 |
| zethero1 | danbhfive: well have you added the repo? | 02:35 |
| danbhfive | zethero1: I only have the standard repos | 02:35 |
| john_d0e | has anyone gotten tftp to work under ubuntu? I run the server in.tftpd /tftpboot ... but when I do "tftp localhost -c get file" ... I can't retreieve anything; and I can't find which file/log documents the server acess ... | 02:36 |
| zethero1 | danbhfive: yeah ... you have to add a third-party repo..... | 02:36 |
| zethero1 | danbhfive: strange thing is that just yesterday I installed it on another Gutsy machine through the same repos | 02:36 |

| dunleavy | will xubuntu suffice as a file/print server between ubuntu and windows xp clients? | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | zethero1: yeah, it said broken package, which is weird, thats why I suggested install -f | 02:37 |
| th0r | dunleavy yes, it should be sufficient | 02:37 |
| danbhfive | zethero1: I think thats supposed to attempt to fix broken packages | 02:37 |
| th0r | dunleavy I use it as a file and web server, don't have a printer | 02:37 |
| zethero1 | danbhfive: yeah I tried that as well | 02:38 |
| dunleavy | th0r what are the specs of your system? Mine is minimal with 450 mgz cpu and 256 meg ram | 02:38 |
| th0r | dunleavy minimal? try 433MHz and 192M ram | 02:38 |

| Anderson | how do I access windows shares from my linux box? | 02:40 |
| danbhfive | zethero1: well, thats all I got, sorry | 02:40 |
| jrib | singlesun: help.ubuntu.com is a great place to start | 02:40 |
| zethero1 | danbhfive: yeah I did that too | 02:40 |
| dunleavy | singlesun: start with google. I myself switched to Ubuntu from Windows after using openSuse 10.2. It is a pleasant experience with a plethora of information on the web | 02:40 |
| th0r | singlesun google the linux documentation project...there are a number of handbooks and guides there...system admin guide, network admin guide...bash handbook | 02:40 |
| singlesun | lol google | 02:40 |
| singlesun | th0r thanks i will check hat out | 02:41 |
| dunleavy | singlesun: also try your local bookstore. I find myself there all the time looking at new things to conquer with linux. | 02:41 |
| singlesun | you guys say my name when you type, how do i respond directly to you | 02:42 |
| jrib | singlesun: just say the person's name. Try typing "jr" and then hit TAB | 02:42 |
| dunleavy | singlesun: good question. I just started using IRC about 10 min ago | 02:42 |
| singlesun | jrib, | 02:42 |
| dunleavy | jrib: thanks for the tip, very useful shorthand. I appreciate it | 02:43 |
| singlesun | dunleavy, right on | 02:43 |
| singlesun | good tip | 02:43 |
| singlesun | thanks all | 02:43 |
| boyam | Vorondi1, I'm not trying to sound smart, but you get that because you told it to. go to a terminal and type "man date" no quotes | 02:43 |
| * singlesun goes to check out linux documentation project | 02:43 | |

| DIguana | I tried to upgrade to the version of Wine in Hardy and it required a newer version of libc6. When I installed the newer libc6 it started prompting me to remove pretty much every package on my system. How can I get my old Gusty libc6 back and get my system back to normal? | 02:45 |
| poodlesucks | is there any good windows to linux games that teaches me about life? | 02:45 |
| Vorondi1 | boyam: I've been in and out of it's man page for a while now. Let me give it another once-over. | 02:45 |
| crimsun | d3ng4r_chris: I'll troubleshoot it with you in a bit (ETA: 5 mins) if someone else doesn't start sooner20 | 02:45 |
| crimsun | err, sorry. | 02:45 |
| danbhfive | DIguana: you should run the wine from the win website | 02:45 |
| singlesun | th0r, thanks man .... whats up with what you just sent... TheEpitome... etc | 02:45 |
| danbhfive | DIguana: and you can try running this command: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ | 02:46 |
| th0r | singlesun I don't understand the question...TheEpitome? | 02:47 |
| DIguana | I'm not interested in getting Wine anymore, I just want to get my system back to normal. When I tried to run "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" I got the error: | 02:48 |
| DIguana | libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-5ubuntu2 is to be installed | 02:48 |
| DIguana | libc6-i686: PreDepends: libc6 (= 2.6.1-1ubuntu10) but 2.7-5ubuntu2 is to be installed | 02:48 |
| DIguana | E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 02:48 |
| Vorondi1 | boyam: I don't get it. What am I doing wrong? | 02:48 |
| singlesun | th0r, ah nevermind man, i hit the tab thing and it showed all those names, im checking out the linux doc proj right now | 02:48 |
| th0r | singlesun cool...a very good reference site for linux | 02:48 |
| RequinB4 | Anyone wanna help me install in text mode | 02:49 |
| singlesun | th0r, i just hope i can catch on to this... lol | 02:49 |
| danbhfive | DIguana: try sudo apt-get install -f | 02:49 |
| th0r | singlesun it's easy...take it one step at a time ... requires lots of patience <smile> | 02:50 |
| DIguana | Nevermind, I fixed it by downloading the Gusty libc6 manually and running "dpkg --install" on it. Everything's back to normal now. | 02:50 |
| DIguana | I'll just wait until April to get the new version of Wine, I guess. | 02:50 |
| singlesun | th0r, thats always what they say whenever its going to be some awful nasty drawn out process, lol | 02:50 |
| poodlesucks | is there any good windows to linux games that teaches me about life(no half life 2)? | 02:50 |
| omgdude | hi, im trying to boot ubuntu 7.10 live from th cd but when it loads the linux kernal it gets stuck at 100% | 02:51 |
| Anderson | How do I access windows shares from a linux machine? | 02:51 |
| th0r | singlesun linux allows you to rediscover the pleasure of getting a printer to print 'hello' | 02:51 |
| danbhfive | DIguana: you can also try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ pay attention to the ^. Also, you can get the latest wine from the wine website. Its quite easy | 02:51 |
| singlesun | th0r, LOL wonderful kinda like the first writeln"hello world"? | 02:52 |
| singlesun | lol | 02:52 |
| omgdude | any1 know how i can get the cd to boot? | 02:52 |
| Vorondi1 | boyam: Oohh! I get it now. :-P It seems to imply that -d is needed to display stuff using the format string. At least, that's how I read it. (i.e., you *need* "-d" before the "+string".) | 02:52 |
| Vorondi1 | Thanks :) | 02:52 |
| singlesun | omgdude, but the cd in the diskdrive? set the bios setting to boot from cd? | 02:52 |
| th0r | singlesun exactly! | 02:52 |
| RequinB4 | I'm installing via the alt cd and the partitioner won't load | 02:52 |
| omgdude | yes | 02:52 |
| omgdude | i get to the splash screen | 02:52 |
| omgdude | and i choose start/intsall ubuntu | 02:53 |
| limp | hello, is there a specifc way of naming virtual hosts on apache2? it seems apache2 wont restart if both virtual hosts are * so I tryied renaming but apache2 wont restart, what could cause this? | 02:53 |
| singlesun | omgdude, as long as bios is set to boot it should boot, | 02:53 |
| boyam | Vorondi1, i was about to ask what it is you weren't getting. :) | 02:53 |
| omgdude | it loads up to 100% | 02:53 |
| omgdude | then freezes | 02:53 |
| DIguana | I thought the "^" was a typo. And I prefer to get my packages as .debs rather than installing from source or doing other things that will result in them not being handled by the package manager. | 02:53 |
| Tempete | omgdude: I think there's an integrity check for the disc - have you ran that? | 02:53 |
| omgdude | and my comp restarts | 02:53 |
| omgdude | no cuz to do that you need to load the kernal too | 02:53 |
| danbhfive | DIguana: everything I've suggested is from debs | 02:53 |
| adub | xchat-systray: Depends: xchat (> 2.0.4) but it is not going to be installed i am having trouble installing xchat plugin can somenoe help | 02:53 |
| omgdude | so that also gets stuck at 100% | 02:53 |
| singlesun | omgdude, no clue about that man, sounds like the burn is bad or something, you verified the disk after it burned? | 02:53 |
| Anderson | How do I access windows shares from a linux machine? | 02:54 |
| omgdude | can't :( | 02:54 |
| RequinB4 | omgdude did you check the md5 sum of the disk? | 02:54 |
| Tempete | omgdude: Try to reburn it on a lower speed. | 02:54 |
| RequinB4 | check the sum before you reburn | 02:54 |
| singlesun | omgdude, i would agree with the above statements, thats a really odd point for it to just hang up | 02:55 |
| boyam | Vorondi1, yep...the -d needs to be followed by the string of options you have available in the date command... | 02:55 |
| Tempete | Anderson: Do you know the path of the disc (/dev/hdb1, for example)? | 02:55 |
| fr0nk | hey does anyone know how to do modulo in bashscript? | 02:55 |
| singlesun | omgdude, when exactly does it stop? after install is complete? | 02:55 |
| omgdude | no, it stops when i click choose to start/install, loads up to 100 then stalls out | 02:55 |
| fr0nk | $ echo `date +%d % 7` should indicate the need of a weekly backup or something | 02:56 |
| singlesun | omgdude, sounds like the disk is crap, i think every1 is in agreement on that | 02:56 |
| fr0nk | but it doesnt work since "%" seems not to be modulo *G* | 02:56 |
| omgdude | im re downloading it now | 02:56 |
| Vorondi1 | boyam: Right, but I want a time field in there too. It seems that if you give the +format string with -d, the time part gets all zeroes. I just didn't realize that you could give a +format *without* -d. | 02:56 |
| bmk789 | aptitude gives a "no candidate found" for emerald-themes, is this package renamed? | 02:57 |
| singlesun | omgdude, then just burn on lowest setting as stated above by the others... you do meet the minimum reqs for install right? | 02:57 |

| omgdude | umm i have a 1.8 core duo, 2 gb ram, ati x1400 video card, so i think im in the clear | 02:58 |
| DIguana | danbhfive: Thanks. I guess I just got too used to sites only offering source tarballs and RPMs so I didn't even bother to check. | 02:58 |

| Dr_willis | the emerald config tool has a button to download themes | 02:59 |
| danbhfive | DIguana: yeah, its cool, the wine people maintain the packages, and their own repos, its cool | 02:59 |
| danbhfive | lol @ redundancy | 02:59 |
| RequinB4 | I'm installing via the alt cd and the partitioner won't load | 02:59 |

| bmk789 | Dr_willis: that button has almost never worked | 02:59 |
| bmk789 | histo: ok | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | bmk789, it works for me. :) but all the themes are ugly OS-X or Vista clones it seems | 02:59 |

| Gamekille | singlesun: what in detail are you looking for | 03:19 |
| bkar | Anderson-> remove the hard disk from windows, and bring it over to ubuntu, mount it, and have fun | 03:20 |
| keyvin | Props to the ubuntu team. 7.10 is the best desktop OS out there currently | 03:20 |
| keyvin | hands down | 03:20 |
| nickrud_ | family: for ndiswrapper, if you have it all working from the command line, you can add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules on a line by itself, it will load at startup | 03:20 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, i found one i think but its not through synaptic, its from downloading | 03:20 |
| Anderson | bkar, I have an external, but it's mounting as read only | 03:20 |
| RequinB4 | I'm having problems text installing ubuntu... | 03:20 |
| keyvin | Anderson, FS on it? | 03:20 |
| nickrud_ | family: and for firestarter, the firewall script gets started automatically whether or not you have the gui running | 03:20 |
| mast^ | Hello! I'm about to install (attempt) the latest ppc version of ubuntu on my ibook g4 and i was wondering if creating a partition within osx before, then installing ubuntu on it, was enough? will the bootloader be able to boot both osx and ubuntu? | 03:20 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, tar.bz2 extension or something | 03:20 |
| bkar | Anderson-> mount it rw then | 03:20 |
| Anderson | bkar, dunno what device it is | 03:21 |
| Gamekille | i going to pm you ok singlesun | 03:21 |
| Anderson | keyvin, NTFS | 03:21 |
| keyvin | Did they ever get around the patent encoumberance with writing to NTFS filesystems? | 03:21 |
| bkar | Anderson-> neither do I, well both guess then :) | 03:21 |
| family | nickrud_ so basically open /etc/modules then add line sudo modprobe ndiswrapper or just add ndiswrapper? | 03:21 |
| family | thanks again nickrud :) | 03:21 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, i do not know how to accept pms | 03:21 |
| railly | salut | 03:21 |
| nickrud_ | family: just ndiswrapper , you'll see some other modules on lines by themselves already in there | 03:21 |
| family | :) | 03:22 |
| family | thank you | 03:22 |
| zethero1 | how do I know if I have 3d acceleration on my system? | 03:22 |
| keyvin | I've been out of the linux scene for a while. In the past you could only overwrite ntfs files -- and they had to remain the same size | 03:22 |
| Gamekille | ok dose not work on this server | 03:22 |
| keyvin | err not linux | 03:22 |
| Gamekille | did you enable extra packages in your source | 03:22 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: in a terminal, type glxinfo | grep direct | 03:22 |
| RequinB4 | I'm having problems text installing ubuntu... | 03:22 |
| keyvin | I've been in an all linux shop for the past two years so I haven't looked at MS anything | 03:22 |
| family | oh darn one more pretty easy one i guess sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 7 19:03:06 2008 | 03:22 |
| family | why do i get this error when i type sudo some command | 03:23 |
| nickrud_ | keydata: it's fully read/writable now | 03:23 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, did not get a pm from you man... i dunno how that works | 03:23 |
| nickrud_ | keyvin: I mean, it's fully read/writable now, with ntfs-3g | 03:23 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, can someone recommend a really excellent BitTorrent client for Ubuntu? | 03:23 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: this is what it says zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ glxinfo | grep direct | 03:23 |
| zethero1 | Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". | 03:23 |
| zethero1 | direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose) | 03:23 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> what kind of problem? | 03:23 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: then you don't have direct rendering running | 03:24 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: how do I enable it? | 03:24 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: direct rendering = accelerated 3d. What video card do you have? if you're not sure, lspci | grep -i vga will tell you | 03:24 |
| poodlesucks | approximately how many people working on debians developement? is it more or less than ubuntu and other distros? 2 people? | 03:24 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - i'm at the partition part, using the whole HDD (overwriting window$), and it gives 4.7GB to swap. mmkay, i go to write and i get "Input/Output error during read on /dev/hda" | 03:24 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: ATI Mob Rad X1400 | 03:25 |
| poodlesucks | i mean ubuntu* | 03:25 |
| nickrud_ | poodlesucks: off topic, but 1000+ last time I looked | 03:25 |
| nickrud_ | poodlesucks: debian | 03:25 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, do i have to enable pms? im using xchat | 03:25 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: system->admin->restricted manger , enable the ati restricted driver | 03:25 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> seems way too much for swap at 4.7gb, maybe redo the formatting again | 03:25 |
| poodlesucks | <nickrud_> where do you look | 03:25 |
| Starnestommy | private messages do work on freenode. To enable them, make sure the sender is registered | 03:26 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: it is enabled | 03:26 |
| Gamekille | no singlesun thsi server dose not work on freenode for spamming | 03:26 |
| adub | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53514/ <--- having compile error problems on this program | 03:26 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, can someone recommend a really excellent BitTorrent client for Ubuntu? | 03:26 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, so you cant pm... i see | 03:26 |
| Anderson | how do i find out what device is mounted based on known folder? | 03:26 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - been told it needs to be fscked. I have, that was the guided partition suggestion - the HDD is 160GB, i have the space | 03:26 |
| Gamekille | yah let me start my vm image of ubuntu hold on | 03:26 |
| Ironman1 | how do i find out my root login | 03:26 |
| nickrud_ | poodlesucks: for which? ubuntu I don't know, debian I used for several years and saw some stuff about inactive and active devs. But you should ask for more on #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:27 |
| RequinB4 | !root | 03:27 |
| singlesun | well this... tar.bz2 i just put onto the desktop... and then said "extract here" | 03:27 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:27 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: did you reboot? | 03:27 |
| Starnestommy | Gamekille: /msg nickserv help register | 03:27 |
| mast^ | anyone has experience with dual booting os x & ubuntu on a ppc? | 03:27 |
| Gamekille | yah that hard | 03:27 |
| singlesun | how do you install the program though? | 03:27 |
| bkar | Anderson-> mount | 03:27 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: no.. it was always enabled | 03:27 |
| Gamekille | mast^: i have not tried dual boot | 03:27 |
| Anderson | bkar, thansk | 03:27 |
| Gamekille | mast^: but i got ubuntu on nice ppc imac | 03:27 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: I have been using the proprietary driver since I started using gutsy | 03:27 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> okay so you have fsck, now continue with the formatting then install | 03:28 |
| Anderson | for the drive I am trying to acces it says this /dev/sda1 on /media/Backup type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8) | 03:28 |
| Anderson | but I can't write to it | 03:28 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: no, it had to be done by you at some point. do lsmod | grep fglrx , do you get back a line with fglrx in it? | 03:28 |
| adub | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53514/ <--- nickrud do you know what is causing my error you usually know whats up | 03:28 |
| singlesun | there is no install file on this like in windows.... how do you install this from tar.bz2 extension? | 03:28 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - i don't know how to fsck, is the problem | 03:28 |
| Ironman1 | anyone know how i can find my root login info? | 03:28 |
| bkar | Anderson-> which ubuntu do you have? | 03:28 |
| RequinB4 | !root | Ironman1 | 03:28 |
| Anderson | 2.6.17-10 | 03:28 |
| Gamekille | singlesun: you have to extract it then compile | 03:28 |
| ubotu | Ironman1: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:29 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> fsck is the command | 03:29 |
| Gamekille | singlesun: it not just install | 03:29 |
| adamorjames | hey hey hey | 03:29 |
| mast^ | Game: I was able to install debian on my ibook so ubuntu should be really similar, I'd just like to keep my osx partition for a while :/ do you think creating another partition within osx then installing ubuntu on it would work? I'm worried the bootloader wouldn't recognize osx | 03:29 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ lsmod | grep fglrx | 03:29 |
| zethero1 | fglrx 656352 54 | 03:29 |
| zethero1 | agpgart 35016 2 fglrx,intel_agp | 03:29 |
| family | when i type sudo some command i get an error sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 7 19:03:06 2008 how do i fix this? | 03:29 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, hey i extracted to desktop.... so its another file of almost the same name,.... then what do you do? | 03:29 |
| nickrud_ | adub: install zlib1g-dev | 03:29 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - ... i mean, how do i get to a shell from the cd | 03:29 |
| bkar | Anderson-> find out if it even supports ntfs-3g | 03:29 |
| Gamekille | mast^: if you bootcamp it would work but not for ppc i htinking | 03:29 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: are you using xserver-xgl for compiz? | 03:29 |
| adub | nickrud thanks ill try that | 03:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | does anyone fancy giving me any pointers on Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) so I can access xbox live using an ethernet cable plugged into a wireless laptop (ubuntu) | 03:30 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, if /dev/scd0 is my DVD drive, how do I find my CD drive address pls? | 03:30 |
| th0r | singlesun what is the tar file called? | 03:30 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> ctrl +alt +f1 F2 or F3 ? | 03:30 |
| Ironman1 | i need to change the permission of a ext hdd | 03:30 |
| Gamekille | singlesun: you have to un tar the file now | 03:30 |
| regfire | anyone install 2.6.24 yet? | 03:30 |
| Ironman1 | how would i do that since i cant log in as root | 03:30 |
| Gamekille | rud my ubuntu vm is crupt | 03:30 |
| Gamekille | dang it | 03:30 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, i just extracted it to the desktop from the main folder ... | 03:30 |
| Anderson | k | 03:30 |
| ubiquitous | ok, I don't understand. How do I install Flash *today*? | 03:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | xbox reports it 'failed' at the IP Address Stage | 03:30 |
| singlesun | th0r it is like azhan time or something | 03:30 |
| Chinese | 呵呵 | 03:31 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: yes.. I think so | 03:31 |
| singlesun | th0r namaz time it is called | 03:31 |
| Chinese | O | 03:31 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - ok, fsck isn't a recognizable command | 03:31 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: ps -A | grep Xgl , do you get a line saying Xgl is running? | 03:31 |
| Gamekille | singlesun: you need a muslum time keeper right | 03:31 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, i downloaded the file, to desktop, then i extracted the file | 03:31 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> use the full path, maybe under /bin or /sbin | 03:31 |
| Ironman1 | wtf my password is not working how do i find out what it us | 03:31 |
| keyvin | Requin - did you append sudo in fornt of it? | 03:31 |
| nickrud_ | !cn | Chinese | 03:31 |
| ubotu | Chinese: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 03:31 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, yes that is what this program is for | 03:31 |
| adub | nickrud im not finding package for ubuntu | 03:32 |
| Gamekille | Ironhand: there is not way to find it out you had to set it up | 03:32 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: zeth@zeth-ubuntu:~$ ps -A | grep Xgl | 03:32 |
| zethero1 | 6496 ? 00:00:00 Xgl-lockfile-wr | 03:32 |
| zethero1 | 6501 ? 00:10:09 Xgl | 03:32 |
| keyvin | Ironman1 -- boot into rescue mode, remount your root partition read write, and reset it | 03:32 |
| RequinB4 | bkar keyvin - "-sh: sudo: not found" | 03:32 |
| Ironman1 | su: Authentication failure | 03:33 |
| Ironman1 | Sorry. | 03:33 |
| Gamekille | there we go got my ubuntu is booted singlesun let me look at my install ok | 03:33 |
| Anderson | bkar, I haven't found anything that says it doesn't... | 03:33 |
| Ironman1 | i just logged in with it | 03:33 |
| nickrud_ | adub: apt-cache policy zlig1g-dev , what does it say about candidate? | 03:33 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, i have the program, just need to know how to install it.... i even extracted the file, it does not have a README or a INSTALL file... | 03:34 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: ok. What's going on is you're using the xgl server, which reports that you don't have 3d rendering functional. xserver-xgl is required for compiz, but interferes with running open gl games and the like, iirc | 03:34 |
| keyvin | RequinB4: run 'echo $PATH' | 03:34 |
| keyvin | paste the result | 03:34 |
| Gamekille | there is not install just a process what the name of hte app you got singlesun | 03:34 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, if /dev/scd0 is my DVD drive, how do I find my CD drive address pls? | 03:34 |
| nickrud_ | adub: erm, that was apt-cache policy zlib1g-dev , not zlig1g-dev :) | 03:34 |
| RequinB4 | "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin | 03:35 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, it is called namazTime | 03:35 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: so I need to disable xgl-xserver and compiz befreo I can get 3d acceleration? | 03:35 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, it also has a file in it called MakeFILE | 03:35 |
| adub | nickrud says unable to locate package | 03:35 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: you have 3d acceleration, but it's pre-empted by xgl server | 03:35 |
| Ironman1 | hey what did you say to do to reset my su password | 03:35 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: you can create the empty file ~/.config/xserver-xgl/disable , and log out and back in. That will disable the xgl server next login. remove the disable file, and next login you will be able to use compiz | 03:36 |
| Gamekille | singlesun: do you kno who to use the term | 03:36 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, yes | 03:36 |
| keyvin | requinB4: does 'ls -l /usr/bin' return anything? | 03:37 |
| Ironman1 | can that person that was helping me repeat it i got dced i was trying to reset my su password | 03:37 |
| singlesun | Gamekille, i need to logon as root? | 03:37 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: so I cannot run compiz in the same session where I want 3d acceleration | 03:37 |
| Gamekille | yes | 03:37 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - a whole big list | 03:37 |
| Gamekille | sudo | 03:37 |
| Gamekille | ok i have to run i sorry singlesun but time to eat with the family | 03:37 |
| Gamekille | gl | 03:37 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: yes. Now, a neat trick is to create another user, switch to that user. You can switch back and forth with clt-alt-f7 and clt-alt-f8 , with one running compiz and the other not. | 03:38 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: I need 3d acceleration to run Elisa Media Center | 03:38 |
| Chinese | How are you | 03:38 |
| Chinese | I would only this one | 03:38 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - help gives me a list of built-in commands. should i list? | 03:38 |
| britt_ | \q | 03:38 |
| keyvin | RequinB4: what kind of environment are you in? | 03:39 |
| nickrud_ | hello Chinese | 03:39 |
| Chinese | Below that, google translation | 03:39 |
| keyvin | RequinB4: Rescue mode? | 03:39 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, if /dev/scd0 is my DVD drive, how do I find my CD drive address pls? | 03:39 |
| Tempete | Is it mounted? type df | 03:39 |
| BigDaddy | Good evening all! Is anyone here familiar with Simon Tathams' puzzle games? I just found them in Synaptic and installed them. But I cannot find them. They are not in my menu and I can't find them on a file search. Any tips? | 03:39 |
| keyvin | fsck should be accessible as /sbin/fsck | 03:39 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - i was at the text installer at the partition part, then i hit cntl+alt+f2. Now i have a shell with the prompt ~ # | 03:39 |
| keyvin | what are you trying to do? | 03:40 |
| keyvin | are you trying to repair a corrupted filesystem? | 03:40 |
| RequinB4 | i have a I/O error on partitioning my hard drive | 03:40 |
| keyvin | run fdisk -l | 03:40 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: I mean this is soooo frustrating.... Linux has strong pojnts... sure..... but man are there some "holes" in the theory too | 03:40 |
| keyvin | paste the results | 03:40 |
| adub | nickrud was typing it wrong | 03:40 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - no error or output | 03:40 |
| adub | nickrud thanks man | 03:40 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: That's a problem with the ati driver, not linux. | 03:40 |
| bkar | keyvin-> he is installing via text mode, he is in a console now.. | 03:41 |
| keyvin | 'sudo fdisk -l'? | 03:41 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: The next release of ubuntu will be using a later driver released by ati, which won't need the xserver-xgl . | 03:41 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: its like... oh finally xgl-xserver works well and we have compiz up and running as well.... but oh we forgot to mention that you now have no 3d acceleration | 03:41 |
| keyvin | oh wait -- you should be root user | 03:41 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> /sbin/fsck /dev/drivepartition | 03:41 |
| Crasy | Alright, question about getting my wireless card working. | 03:41 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: again, blame ati for not providing proper support | 03:41 |
| syntaxerror55 | zethero1, Compiz is not an official or necessary part of Linux | 03:41 |
| Crasy | How? Linksys Wirless N PCI card. | 03:42 |
| keyvin | bkar how is that going to help him partition his hard drive? | 03:42 |
| Crasy | Ubuntu 6.06 | 03:42 |
| bkar | keyvin-> the install was asking about fsck'ng the drive | 03:42 |
| geokeratz | zethero1, you are unfortunately right | 03:42 |
| zethero1 | syntaxerror55: its necessary for those who want a computing experience which is lively and full of variety | 03:42 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: by the way, I don't use compiz, it's useless for real work | 03:42 |
| RequinB4 | . : bg break cd chdir command continue echo eval exec exit export false fg getopts hash help jobs kill let local pwd read readonly return set shift times trap true type ulimit umask unset wait | 03:43 |
| nickrud_ | lol | 03:43 |
| Crasy | Anyone know how to get a Linksys Wireless N PCI card to work on Ubuntu? | 03:43 |
| rne1224 | does anyone knows what this means: intel_batchbuffer.c:145: intel_flush_inline_primitive: Assertion `intel->prim.primitive != ~0' failed. | 03:43 |
| rne1224 | Aborted (core dumped) | 03:43 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: I use quite a few of its features tens of times a day during my work | 03:43 |
| isleshocky77 | Is there any other remote management in ubuntu server by default besides openssh-server? Cause I did an aptitude install php5-curl earlier today and it said it died while upgrading openssh-server, now I can't connect and I'm 400 miles from the box | 03:43 |
| syntaxerror55 | zethero1, having a cube shaped desktop does not improve your variety. | 03:43 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: I find a number of feature very usefull | 03:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | rne1224: translation.. : upgrade to an AMD.. :) | 03:43 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, if /dev/scd0 is my DVD drive, how do I find my CD drive address pls? | 03:43 |
| family | i fixed it yesh | 03:43 |
| zethero1 | syntaxerror55: 'tis but one feature | 03:44 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I'm Having real difficulty in getting firestarter to run so I can do internet connection sharing. | 03:44 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: not to get into a debate, but the only thing compiz provides that other window managers don't is the bling of fancy window movement and shadows | 03:44 |
| bkar | isleshocky77-> a risk one takes when doing remote upgrades | 03:44 |
| rne1224 | IndyGunFreak: hahaha...how much will the upgrade will be? | 03:44 |
| family | i fixed the timestamp error i have to get going | 03:44 |
| isleshocky77 | bkar: Everything else still runs such as apache mysql and things like that. | 03:44 |
| Tempete | RootyRootRootWOO: Is it mounted? If so, type "mount" | 03:44 |
| zcat[1] | !iptables | 03:44 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 03:44 |
| RequinB4 | nickrud_ : being slightly adhd, cube helps with my organization | 03:44 |
| isleshocky77 | I'm wondering if I can use ftp and php to do something. | 03:44 |
| family | Nickrud thanks for the help i really apprecate it:) | 03:44 |
| syntaxerror55 | zethero1, sorry, but compiz is just a window manager that slows everything down. You're lucky people even tried to help you here instead of just redirecting you to #compiz | 03:45 |
| geokeratz | RootyRootRootW00, or type df | 03:45 |
| nickrud_ | RequinB4: hm, never looked at it that way | 03:45 |
| bkar | isleshocky77-> you can ask to disable the sshd and telnet in.. | 03:45 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: ummm... apart from "bling" there are the features like Shift Switcher adn Scale which I find extremely useful | 03:45 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | geokerat | 03:45 |
| RequinB4 | Other then that, its just eye candy | 03:45 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | geokeratz: thanks, am doing so | 03:45 |
| zethero1 | syntaxerror55: now you just sound threatening..... tsk ysk | 03:46 |
| jscinoz | hey guys, im running gutsy on a dell xps m1330, it has a core2duo cpu and /proc/cpuinfo states it also supports hyperthreading, however i cant find anything about hyperthreading in my bios, and gnome-system-monitor just shows the two physical cores. How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus. | 03:46 |
| syntaxerror55 | zethero1, sorry | 03:46 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: but thanks for your help | 03:46 |

| zethero1 | nickrud: I have converted 6 Windows users to Linux in the past 5 weeks...... so I am doing my part to spread the word | 03:47 |
| Tempete | singlesun: There should be an INSTALL file in there, but usually you cd to the directory, ./configure, make, sudo make install | 03:47 |
| Chinese | There is no one playing Palunion? | 03:47 |
| singlesun | Tempete, no install file, only a file named Makefile and a few others | 03:48 |
| nickrud_ | adub: that's an error in the stuff you're compiling itself ... | 03:48 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: and believe me, I get a whole lot of flak from Windows users.... many of whom are just plain ignorant of what they are talking about | 03:48 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Try what I listed then. | 03:48 |

| pavan | nickrud can you help me with my sound problem?? | 03:52 |
| singlesun | Tempete, make install just says there is no directory or something | 03:52 |
| Tempete | singlesun: And therein lies the hellish part of compiling stuff... Does it say something about a missing dependency? | 03:52 |
| deant | cjones: and if noone can, we can go drink a beer with chicks in a bar someplace lol | 03:52 |
| Crasy | IndyGunFreak: Honestly, I can't find my card. | 03:52 |

| bkar | geokeratz-> it looks at the aptitude cache database and dumps all the info | 03:52 |
| WaY | hello | 03:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Crasy: then you'll probably need ot use the windows driver w/ ndiswrapper. | 03:52 |

| Tempete | Or paste them at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 03:53 |

| IndyGunFreak | shedflex: you need to reinstall grub.. easiest way is either from a super grub disk, or from a live cd | 03:54 |
| singlesun | Tempete, says its need gtk vers 2 or higher | 03:54 |
| shedflex | mmm.... super grub disk... I better google for that | 03:55 |
| nickrud_ | zethero1: create a new user (system->admin->users) and hit the logout button, but choose switch user | 03:55 |
| singlesun | Tempete, gtk2 version 2.4 or higher | 03:55 |

| shedflex | tx | 03:55 |

| Tempete | singlesun: Install the ilbgtk2.0-dev entry. | 03:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Crasy: you need to read the ubuntu wireless documentation, it goes over installing ndiswrapper, installing a windows driver, etc... this is how i know you didn't even attempt to read it. | 03:57 |
| zethero1 | nickrud_: can I create a new session for the same user? | 03:57 |

| TheFishy | syntaxerror55, loging out usually is the best cause it saves everything not saved | 04:12 |
| keyvin | ./parted /dev/hda? | 04:12 |
| Yoda | daniel92: Scripts where? | 04:12 |
| bullgard4 | mexle__: You are in the wrong channel. | 04:12 |
| singlesun | Tempete, it said there is no libitl, but there is like libitl-dev and libitl0 | 04:12 |
| syntaxerror55 | TheFishy, oh, well, yeah, that. ;D | 04:12 |
| Rasta | Hi everyone | 04:12 |
| TheFishy | syntaxerror55, so do u know of any cli based games? | 04:12 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - O.o my day is getting better. "error: could not stat device dev/hda - no such file or directory" | 04:12 |
| syntaxerror55 | Rasta, hi | 04:13 |
| Rasta | Back to linux after many years | 04:13 |
| syntaxerror55 | TheFishy, I'm actually developing some | 04:13 |
| Tempete | singlesun: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/arabeyes/libitl0_0.6.4-1_i386.deb?modtime=1111099417&big_mirror=1 Just use this deb, then. | 04:13 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: Tools > Script MAnager > Get more scripts | 04:13 |
| TheFishy | syntaxerror55, really? | 04:13 |
| Rasta | Just insatlled 7.10, any task besides update the system i should take care of? | 04:13 |
| syntaxerror55 | TheFishy, yes, a CLI-tron. I hope it'll work out. | 04:13 |
| techgeek40 | Is it possible to get Thunderbird working - I would like to use that for email? | 04:13 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: it's called Gnome Multimedia Key's | 04:13 |
| Yoda | daniel92: Oh, in Amarok? Alright, thanks a lot. | 04:13 |
| keyvin | RequinB4 ok, and the guided partitioner detected that you had a hard disk there? | 04:13 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - yep | 04:13 |
| TheFishy | syntaxerror55, can I test it out on my palm tx's ssh connection? | 04:13 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - but then it went and had an I/O error | 04:13 |
| nickrud_ | techgeek40: sure, install it it's in the repos | 04:13 |
| techgeek40 | Hey Nick - how you doing ? | 04:14 |
| keyvin | you have an IDE hard disk? | 04:14 |
| cvd | Its there away, so xchat always remember my custom nickname? | 04:14 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: np. it took me a while, but my gateway's media keys work perfect for me now. it should be on by default in gnome... | 04:14 |
| nickrud_ | techgeek40: good, watching a silly movie | 04:14 |
| singlesun | Tempete, alright dled that and installed it | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | cvd thres options | 04:14 |
| keyvin | I unno. I would try powering down, checking my cabling and rebooting again at this point | 04:14 |
| syntaxerror55 | TheFishy, it doesn't work ATM. D: I'm working out more then several major bugs. | 04:14 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i should try to do the make thing again now? | 04:14 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Now try the make/make install thing again. | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | how can i reinstall opengl? | 04:14 |
| cvd | cuz everytime i use xchat it use the ubuntu login name | 04:14 |
| syntaxerror55 | TheFishy, and it requires Python | 04:14 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - IDE1, yep | 04:14 |
| pvl1 | cvd, change the settings | 04:15 |
| techgeek40 | I'm going to install thunderbird and then tackle that damn video card - I would like to get it working | 04:15 |
| Yoda | daniel92: Uh oh, it just crashed on me. I got the KNotify. Shouldn't be anything bad, but I'm wondering why it crashed after I installed that. | 04:15 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - no biggie, i've been working on getting a bootable OS on this box for 2 months now | 04:15 |
| syntaxerror55 | cvd, XChat should always remember your nickname if you change the setting in XChat->Network List... | 04:15 |
| nickrud_ | TheFishy: have you checked out bsdgames ? | 04:15 |
| TheFishy | syntaxerror55, well when u get it all smoothish enough to run I would love to help test... My palm has an ssh connection meaning its just sharing a screen. So I connect to X and run flash if i wanted to but thats dumb... | 04:15 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - i'm going to put in GParted | 04:15 |
| keyvin | RequinB4 are you sure the IDE controller is stable? | 04:15 |
| user_ | hey | 04:15 |
| user_ | i'm on live pendrivelinux | 04:15 |
| keyvin | Thats the only time I've had disks just dissapear - when the controller was faulty | 04:16 |
| singlesun | Tempete, this thing is wacked, | 04:16 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: i get that occasionally. i don't think it has to do with the script tho, just that it's a kde app running on gnome | 04:16 |
| user_ | is there a way to install ubuntu from this?? | 04:16 |
| syntaxerror55 | TheFishy, ok. I'll remember you. :D | 04:16 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Don't tell me that! | 04:16 |
| TheFishy | nickrud_, would bsdgames work on ubuntu-server :P | 04:16 |
| singlesun | Tempete, still not working man... error | 04:16 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: go to #amarok for more support | 04:16 |
| nickrud_ | TheFishy: yep, they are for the text screen | 04:16 |
| CVD | thansks | 04:16 |
| RequinB4 | keyvin - don't know what that means, but i'd hazard a guess no | 04:16 |
| RequinB4 | :P | 04:16 |

| syntaxerror55 | nickrud_, BSDGames doesn't already have a Tron does it? | 04:16 |
| Yoda | daniel92: Got it, works perfectly now. Thanks a bunch. | 04:17 |
| syntaxerror55 | because I wouldn't want to duplicate | 04:17 |
| singlesun | Tempete, still those same errors when i type in make | 04:17 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | patrock r u there? | 04:17 |
| Tempete | singlesun: This is terrible. Let me see if I can just find another app for the same purpose. | 04:17 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: no problem. i love that script. helps with **all** media keys, so nice. | 04:17 |
| nickrud_ | syntaxerror55: no, although it may have some of the games under different names. apt-cache show bsdgames lists them | 04:17 |
| syntaxerror55 | nickrud_, ah, k. I'm currently on my Windows partition, but I'll remember it | 04:18 |
| user_ | thx fl | 04:18 |
| singlesun | Tempete, package libglade-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path | 04:18 |

| singlesun | Tempete, that starts the huge error list | 04:18 |
| meoblast001 | i forget what the name of the package you need to compile is... can someone refresh my memory? | 04:18 |
| Impiety | i tried to install kde4 and it didn't work, however, it also made gnome not work. in the .xsession-errors files says "GtK-WARNING ***: This process is currently running setuid or setgid | 04:18 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Oh! Let's get that installed then.. Lemme find a deb. | 04:18 |

| singlesun | Tempete, whats up with all these Lib things? lol... | 04:19 |
| CVD | why only the left Alt work and not the right? | 04:19 |
| user_ | arg | 04:19 |
| Yoda | Anyone know any file managers besides Nautilus? My only two beefs with Ubuntu to date have been that it's....not the prettiest, and I'm not too fond of Nautilus. | 04:19 |
| keyvin | Yoda, you can try kubuntu | 04:19 |
| syntaxerror55 | Yoda, sure, Konqueror, dolphin | 04:19 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Apps use other libraries to make their program work. | 04:19 |
| TheFishy | nickrud_, awesome | 04:19 |
| psyber | Is there a webcammax type program for linux? | 04:19 |
| keyvin | ubuntu distro centered around KDE | 04:19 |
| Tempete | singlesun: This one shouldn't have any problems but you'll have to compile it as well - http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libglade/2.0/libglade-2.0.1.tar.gz | 04:20 |
| CVD | whe i need to use the Alt for everything only the left work | 04:20 |
| singlesun | Tempete, why dont they come with the applications is my question, and if you already have them, lol they could overwrite them | 04:20 |
| techgeek40 | Here is something: I have a netgar WG511 v2 pcmcia wireless adapter for my laptop - but I can't seem to get the drivers installed - any suggestions? | 04:20 |
| micah_ | Well then....my computer just semi-restarted. It went to the shut down screen about running boot scripts, then it came back up to my GDM. | 04:20 |
| nickrud_ | TheFishy: and the really popular text game, nethack-console | 04:20 |
| pvl1 | techgeek40, have a look into ndiswrapper | 04:21 |
| techgeek40 | netgar = netgear | 04:21 |
| TheFishy | nickrud_, ok i installed the package, how do i see all the games it just installed? | 04:21 |
| Shadow147 | what package of perl has this -lperl | 04:21 |
| techgeek40 | Otay - doing that now | 04:21 |
| nickrud_ | TheFishy: apt-cache show bsdgames | 04:21 |
| Tempete | singlesun: That would make life too easy =P And make apps more bloated (As it is, you can disable features sometimes if you know you won't use them) | 04:21 |
| pvl1 | Shadow147,do apt-cache search 'whatever' | 04:21 |

| singlesun | Tempete, lol | 04:22 |
| TheFishy | nickrud_, do u know anymore games like this? | 04:22 |
| marcel | I have installed moonlander and when I click on the icon, it seems that the games starts, but nothing happens. | 04:22 |
| RequinB4 | apt-get moo is pretty fun | 04:22 |
| pvl1 | marcel, try running it from a terminal | 04:22 |
| nickrud_ | TheFishy: there's nethack-console | 04:22 |
| TheFishy | nickrud_, got that already + bsdgames-nonfree | 04:23 |
| keyvin | angband | 04:23 |
| nickrud_ | TheFishy: try apt-cache search console game , it returns some that are definitely console games, not sure about others | 04:23 |
| Shadow147 | pvl1 thanks | 04:23 |
| nickrud_ | ooh, angbad | 04:23 |
| singlesun | Tempete, ok so im trying to do that one... i did the configure and it worked fine, but the make did not | 04:23 |
| keyvin | angband with -mgcu so it runs in text mode | 04:23 |
| Impiety | anyone know why apt would think that almost every package was automatically installed and no longer required? | 04:23 |
| john_d0e | when you setup a machine to be a dhcpcd server ... how does the server machine get it's ip address / routing table / etc ... ? | 04:23 |

| Tempete | singlesun: Ugh. What error now? | 04:23 |
| singlesun | Tempete, said "no target specified" | 04:23 |
| Yoda | anyways, before my comp decided to off itself, I was asking if anyone knew of any decent file managers besides Nautilus (ie how to install them properly) | 04:24 |
| singlesun | Tempete, no target specified and no makefile found | 04:24 |

| Rasta | ok, whats the password for su on a fresh ubuntu install? itried the one with i started session(added on the installation) but doesnt seem to work | 04:24 |
| singlesun | Tempete, can i just use sudo make install? | 04:24 |
| Rasta | im using 7.10 btw | 04:25 |
| Tempete | singlesun: You can try. But I'd check the INSTALL in there (If there is one) or the README | 04:25 |
| marcel | how can I post the whole message? there are like 12 lines | 04:25 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i dunno i didnt say anything odd | 04:25 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: xfe is cool, and really lightweight. not the best looking, but cool. look it up. ot's available in the repositories. | 04:25 |

| singlesun | module in CVS) which can be found on the GNOME FTP site or its | 04:26 |
| singlesun | mirrors. If you want GNOME support, you will also need the gnome-libs | 04:26 |

| Rasta | bkar, sudo its like a pseudo root im guessing | 04:26 |
| Yoda | alright, you two daniel92 and rajasun. Will this completely replace Nautilus (either of the managers), and will I hit any problems with having something other than nautilus as my manager? | 04:26 |

| marcel | yes, Alsa works | 04:27 |
| penars | can someone help me with resolutions? i cant seem to get ubuntu to show my resolution | 04:27 |
| daniel92 | Yoda: not that i know of. it's pretty hard to replace nautilus. it controls the desktiop and icons too. neither do if you just install them. google could help make it permanent. | 04:27 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Not usually. I run zenwalk and rarely use package managers.. Usually only get one or two dependencies. | 04:27 |
| rajasun | daniel92: I like both thunar and rox-filer. and don't all file managers resemble one another in the major, eseential even functions they perfomr | 04:27 |

| singlesun | Tempete, the ./configure does a whole lot... lol... but when i do "make" it does not work | 04:30 |
| rajasun | daniel92: yeah. as long as it allows one to organize files, copy, transfer e.g. ftp, sftp, rsync, etc...should suffice for the needs of most ;) | 04:30 |
| penars | daniel92: i dont see my resolution in options | 04:30 |
| pvl1 | marcel, well then it should be fine. it may be a coding problem. try running something like moonlande --help and see if there is an option to turn of sound. otherwise i believe u need to configure ur alsa driver correctly | 04:30 |

| daniel92 | penars: yeah. look for it there and see if it is checked or just not there | 04:33 |
| Tempete | singlesun: That's how it seems a lot of times. Haha. Can probably find a timer program that you can just set times and notifications for. | 04:33 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Thanks nickrun_ and unop | 04:33 |
| nickrud_ | Tempete: like for xml , ac search libxml | grep dev . That will narrow the list. Shows libxml2-dev | 04:33 |
| wers | daniel92, i'm trying new apps for video call because my webcam doesn't work with skype or gyachi | 04:34 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i will try to find this library on the Gnome site... if not. im screaming | 04:34 |
| wers | can you suggest any app like that? | 04:34 |
| daniel92 | wers: lucky, mine isn't even detected =[ | 04:34 |
| wassa | hello.. wondering if someone could help me get OO to start to accept SCIM. I have been trying to get this working for days now | 04:34 |
| unop | nickrud_, apt-cache search does take regular expressions -- apt-cache search "lib.*xml" | 04:34 |
| Tempete | nickrud_ Just to make this easier.. Happen to know of any timer app in Ubuntu's repositories? | 04:34 |
| daniel92 | wers: sorry, no experience there | 04:34 |
| cybermad | where do you guys store company documents, etc on office? i mean, what server? do you use microsoft windows server or use SAMBA as file server? | 04:34 |
| BetaTest | How do I do a scandisk check on a hard drive? | 04:35 |
| wers | okay. thanks anyway, daniel92 | 04:35 |
| daniel92 | wers: np. good luck | 04:35 |
| nickrud_ | Tempete: itools does the job that singlesun is trying to do, muslim prayer times. But it's command line only | 04:35 |
| Rasta | i see that compiz-fusion comes installed by default, how i activate it? | 04:35 |
| pavan | nickrud can you help me with my sound problem?? | 04:35 |
| unop | cybermad, what is the difference to the end-user anyway? none? | 04:35 |
| wassa | i have now installed scim bridge, scim, language packs, east asian language support etc.. | 04:35 |
| daniel92 | !cube | 04:35 |
| ubotu | Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » | 04:35 |
| nickrud_ | unop: that'll pull too many library headers, I want the minimum :) | 04:35 |
| BetaTest | !scandisc check | 04:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about scandisc check - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:35 |
| singlesun | nickrud_, command line only? so.... it has no interface to work with besides terminal? | 04:35 |
| BetaTest | !scandisc | 04:36 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about scandisc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:36 |
| nickrud_ | pavan: I know so little about sound | 04:36 |
| Tempete | nickrud_ Mm, that's no fun. So long as it's a timer and he sets the time that should work - I'll take a look for a GUI app. | 04:36 |
| unop | nickrud_, errm, it'll pull in the same amount as with grep .. | 04:36 |
| daniel92 | scandisk? | 04:36 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Okay, going to just find a timer app.. Too much crap for something this simple. | 04:36 |
| daniel92 | Tempete: what kind of timer app? | 04:36 |
| Rasta | wow, that bot its useful | 04:36 |
| singlesun | Tempete, doubt you can find one, it has to calculate prayer times.. etc | 04:36 |
| johnc | BetaTest: I beleive what you are looking for is the fsck utillity | 04:36 |
| geokeratz | Rasta> System>preferences>appearance>visual effects | 04:36 |
| daniel92 | Rasta: yeah. it knows a lot | 04:36 |
| james296 | what command do I need to type in to allow Banshee as the default audio cd player and to have it automatically play audio cds? | 04:36 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Is it not the same time every day? Or every week. | 04:36 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | unop: it says "-l" not found! | 04:37 |
| Rasta | ok, thanks | 04:37 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | unop: it says "-l" command not found? | 04:37 |
| pavan | nickrud_ thx for the response.. i am trying to see if i can get some help in the alsa channel.. | 04:37 |
| Tempete | daniel192: Not so sure.. Whatever singlesun needs. | 04:37 |
| unop | RootyRootRootW00, what does? | 04:37 |
| daniel92 | james296, try System > Preferences > Prefered Apps | 04:37 |
| nickrud_ | unop: no, I'm grepping for just the dev stuff. try both, you'll see I get much fewer packages | 04:37 |
| singlesun | Tempete, no it isnt | 04:37 |
| wassa | anyone at all have experience with SCIM ? | 04:37 |
| daniel92 | wassa, nope | 04:38 |
| wassa | this is so frustrating | 04:38 |
| james296 | Im talking about for CDs though, not song files on the computer | 04:38 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | unop the terminal output: here: bash: -l: command not found | 04:38 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Okay, maybe not then. HMM. Would you be comfortable with the command line app nickrud was talking about? | 04:38 |
| daniel92 | james296: no idea then | 04:38 |
| unop | RootyRootRootW00, I have no idea what you are talking about -- I didnt suggest a command to you, did i? | 04:39 |
| singlesun | Tempete, does it still do the job of letting you know when the pray is about to happen? does it have anything that comes up? | 04:39 |
| james296 | I know the default command is sound-juicer -d %d for audio cds, but whats the end prefix supposed to be to allow audio cds to play automatically | 04:39 |
| james296 | I know it involves a -p somewhere | 04:39 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | unop: sorry my bad! I read the line above your message! soory | 04:39 |
| daniel92 | james296: check your apps man page. it might help | 04:40 |
| james296 | huh? | 04:40 |
| nickrud_ | RootyRootRootW00: it's ls -l /dev/cdrom | 04:40 |
| daniel92 | james296: man <appname> at command line | 04:40 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | nickrud_ Thanks!:) | 04:40 |
| h3r0 | i need help with an install. i put in my cd and selected start/install ubuntu | 04:41 |
| daniel92 | james296: it gives lots of info, so might help | 04:41 |
| h3r0 | it loads the kernel and goes black | 04:41 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Going to install and find out. One minute. | 04:41 |
| nickrud_ | james296: the help docs for sound-juicer are pretty decent | 04:41 |
| htns | http://images.dezinfo.net/image/guest/01.2008/children/1010.jpg | 04:41 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i got those libraries going man | 04:41 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | nickrud_ Thanks! It works, now to paste it into wine and *hope* that CDex finallllllllllllllly works. | 04:41 |
| sandman | what video driver would I use for a Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCI Express Video card?? | 04:41 |
| Gamekiller | singlesun: did you see this | 04:41 |
| singlesun | Tempete, now i just need to see if this thing will work | 04:41 |
| daniel92 | h3r0: try alternate install. no gui or trying out, but pretty much guaranteed | 04:41 |
| singlesun | Gamekiller, yeah i see you | 04:41 |
| Tempete | singlesun: For the other program? Hopefully! | 04:41 |
| Gamekiller | http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=ITL | 04:41 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i believe so | 04:42 |
| lumpycow | how do you check if you are using the mesa video drivers in ubuntu? | 04:42 |
| wassa | hey.. when i look at my fonts in OO i get a status line saying the font is not installed and will use its closest neighbor.. any idea how to go about locating that font? | 04:42 |
| sandman | what video driver would I use for a Radeon HD 2400 Pro PCI Express Video card?? | 04:43 |
| h3r0 | I don't have an alt install option | 04:43 |
| Qwexer | I'm new to linux from window, I am not novice, though not expert there, doc....I dont understand how to add apps to the applications button | 04:43 |
| Qwexer | I tried but said permission denied | 04:43 |
| singlesun | Tempete, nvrmind i give up with that... lol | 04:43 |
| daniel92 | sandman: try ubuntuforums. more people = more likely to find answer on a specialized question | 04:43 |
| h3r0 | I have start or install, start ubuntu in safe graphics mode, install w/ driver update CD/ oem install/ check cd for defects/ mem test, and boot from first hard disk | 04:43 |
| Tempete | singlesun: haha. Okay, we'll try itools then. | 04:43 |
| bullgard4 | Nautilus lists two owners of a file. Why are there two of them? | 04:44 |
| unop | wassa, try Installing "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". | 04:44 |
| Tempete | singlesun: See if it's in synaptic before we go through compiling. | 04:44 |
| singlesun | Tempete, try through synaptic? | 04:44 |
| nickrud_ | singlesun: there's an ubuntu deb for minbar at http://djihed.com/minbar/minbar-02-released , I'm pointing at it but I nearly never install 3d party stuff myself | 04:44 |
| pyrak | i'm trying to run ubuntu on my OLPC XO and getting an error during the boot-up sequence: http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1436.msg13240#msg13240 | 04:45 |
| pyrak | ideas? | 04:45 |
| h3r0 | daniel92: I don't have an alt install option | 04:45 |
| h3r0 | I have start or install, start ubuntu in safe graphics mode, install w/ driver update CD/ oem install/ check cd for defects/ mem test, and boot from first hard disk | 04:45 |
| singlesun | nickrud_, i just downloaded that one for ubuntu... and extracted.. it didnt install by itself though | 04:45 |
| nickrud_ | bullgard4: two owners? where do you see that? | 04:45 |
| Gamekiller | singlesun: have you tried to install itools in snaptic | 04:45 |
| penars | am i screwed if i dont know my horizontal and vertical rates and xorg cant detect them by itself? | 04:46 |
| singlesun | Tempete, we are trying that Minbar that nick pointed out,... a .deb file, i extracted but it dont install by itself | 04:46 |
| Qwexer | took me some searching just to find where ubuntu puts apps, haha | 04:46 |
| nickrud_ | singlesun: no, it's not that tar gz, it's one that's already compiled for ubuntu. Note what I said about 3d party stuff | 04:46 |
| unop | bullgard4, there can only be one owner, a user - the other you see is probably the group owning the file | 04:46 |
| daniel92 | h3r0: it is a different cd image. at the download check the "alternate download" box. most likely bad video drivers, so alt install can help | 04:46 |
| geokeratz | h3r0> it's a different cd | 04:46 |
| geokeratz | ups | 04:46 |
| h3r0 | oh okay. | 04:46 |
| h3r0 | nVidia 8800 isn't supported? | 04:46 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Just double click the deb, it should pop up an install thing. | 04:46 |
| nickrud_ | bullgard4: or maybe the full name of the user, next to the username | 04:46 |
| daniel92 | h3r0: maybe not right off in livecd. could just not be good at all. go to ubuntuforums.com and search. find out | 04:47 |
| nickrud_ | penars: you should be able to google your exact monitor model number, or try the fcc number | 04:47 |
| singlesun | Tempete, nickrud_ EXCELLENT MINBAR WORKS | 04:47 |
| penars | nickrud_: this is the best i could find: http://www.norcent.net/main/product_detail.asp?prodID=62&category=homeent&type=lcdtv&view=specs | 04:47 |
| Tempete | nickrud_ Hurray! Nice find. | 04:48 |
| Rasta | ok, so compiz its installed by default, very nice | 04:48 |
| chaosrl | Does anyone know how to fix the notification area on the gnome panel? | 04:48 |
| singlesun | Tempete, nickrud_ Gamekiller thank you all for your help, jeez i feel like an idiot after that..... now... i have tons of junk files all over my hardrive from trying to install that other thing.. lol | 04:48 |
| daniel92 | chaosrl: what's wrong with it? | 04:48 |
| chaosrl | Right clicking anywhere on the panel brings up the panel menu, left clicking does nothing. | 04:48 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Go to the directories and type "make clean" before you remove them | 04:48 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud_: Nautilus has got 5 columns to display files and their attributes: Name, Size, Type, Change Date and Owner. In the Owner column there are listet two owners. | 04:48 |
| daniel92 | chaosrl: hmm. not sure then. sorry. | 04:49 |
| daniel92 | everyone: brb | 04:49 |
| singlesun | Tempete, lol i dont know how to remove them... lol | 04:49 |
| chaosrl | daniel92: i can drag it around the panel, the icons show up when i open up the respective programs, but nothing else works | 04:49 |
| wassa | newb question.. can i install any ttf fonts that I have on my windows boxes? | 04:49 |
| chaosrl | daniel92, it's ok, thanks though | 04:49 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud_: Nautilus has got 5 columns to display files and their attributes: Name, Size, Type, Change Date and Owner in that order. In the Owner column there are listed two owners. | 04:49 |
| jscinoz | hey guys, im running gutsy on a dell xps m1330, it has a core2duo cpu and /proc/cpuinfo states it also supports hyperthreading, however i cant find anything about hyperthreading in my bios, and gnome-system-monitor just shows the two physical cores. How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus. | 04:49 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Can just delete like normal (The folders). or rm foldername from command line. | 04:49 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i just switched from Vista to this because Vista would only let me install my Ultimate version twice | 04:49 |
| unop | !info msttcorefonts | wassa | 04:49 |

| singlesun | Tempete, so now im trying to learn about this stuff... its rather rough | 04:50 |
| nickrud_ | bullgard4: the first is the user name, the second is the full name. It's the same user | 04:50 |
| Tempete | singlesun: As much as I'd like you to stay.. I think you can call and get them to activate it again. But it's much more fun learning all this. | 04:50 |
| Khisanth | rmdir :) | 04:50 |
| techgeek40 | When I go into my Software Sources and make sure everything is okay - I get the reload but then the error comes up Could not download all repository indexes - and one of them is http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/gutsy/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 301 Moved Permanently [IP: 88.191.30.43 80] | 04:50 |
| techgeek40 | What gives with that? | 04:50 |
| nickrud_ | bullgard4: a user can have a room number and a phone number associated with it as well, a holdover from academia | 04:51 |
| daniel92 | chaosrl: yeah, google is ur friend though | 04:51 |
| h3r0 | @the guys that helped me, looks like ill have to use envy with the text based install | 04:51 |
| h3r0 | thanks | 04:51 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud_: Where does Nautilus take the information 'full name' from? | 04:51 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i dont want to bother with them , they really irritated me the last time i tried to ask for help, so that kinda gives me a little perseverance to figure this out | 04:51 |
| nickrud_ | bullgard4: /etc/passwd | 04:51 |
| unop | bullgard4, indirectly from /etc/passwd | 04:51 |
| chaosrl | daniel92: yeah, i've tried. it seems like only a few people have this problem, and none have found a reliable fix yet (or a fix at all without using a second monitor, which i dont' have access to) | 04:52 |

| daniel92 | chaosrl: wow, that's really weird. good luck! | 04:52 |
| zachalink | I have a major issue: ubuntu isn't detecting my microphone jack microphone. | 04:52 |
| Tempete | singlesun: Good good! Make sure to go inside the directories you were trying to compile in and make clean, then you can remove the directory (sudo rm pathtodirectory) | 04:52 |
| npster | wb un0p | 04:52 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud_: What does 'holdover from academia' mean? (My native language is not English.) | 04:52 |
| zachalink | How do I know? It doesn't work with WoW, that's how. | 04:52 |
| lackli | C-SPAN <http://www.cspan.org/> can anyone help me watch these cspan videos with linux? | 04:52 |
| chaosrl | daniel92: thanks, i'm waiting to see if someone on the forum will know :P | 04:52 |
| nickrud_ | bullgard4: academia is universities :) | 04:53 |
| daniel92 | bullgard4: it means it is from when the os was used mostly at schools | 04:53 |
| stmiller | Kernel 2.6.24 released | 04:53 |
| daniel92 | chaosrl: sounds like a good idea | 04:53 |
| zachalink | So... yeah... Can I fix the microphone problem? | 04:53 |
| singlesun | Tempete, i duno how to do all that man :( i dont even remember what we put where, i just deleted them off the desktop | 04:53 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: are you using ALSA/ | 04:53 |
| chaosrl | ? | 04:53 |
| zachalink | Yes, I switched to OSS and it still doesn't work. | 04:54 |
| Tempete | singlesun: That works, too. Don't think any of them got far enough to justify a "make clean", anyway. Haha. You're set then. | 04:54 |
| johnficca | Hi I installed the new ati cat 8.1 on my thinkpad t60 and its working great but when I logout it freazes...what should I do? | 04:54 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: the only thing i would know to try is this: | 04:54 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud_, unop daniel92 : Thank you very much for explaining. | 04:54 |
| wassa | grrr.. why does everything have to be written as though everyone is an open source programmer | 04:54 |
| zachalink | Do go on... =) | 04:54 |
| un0p | bullgard4, yw | 04:54 |
| daniel92 | bullgard4: no problem | 04:54 |
| nickrud_ | wassa: you should have been using this 8 years ago, lol | 04:54 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: go into the ALSA mixer, make sure microphone and mic boost are both showing and not muted | 04:54 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: then make sure "Capture" is showing. a new tab should appear with "Recording" on it | 04:55 |
| htns | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj8ZadKgdC0 | 04:55 |
| wassa | nickrud.. is this the correct avenue to proceed down? http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ | 04:55 |
| chaosrl | and make sure that's turned up. that was the problem with my mic, and after i did that it worked | 04:55 |
| zachalink | There is no capture showing | 04:55 |
| singlesun | Tempete, lol well til i learn better... i guess | 04:55 |
| daniel92 | wassa: well, it **is** designed with that in mind. i get along ok without knowing how to program | 04:55 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: Edit>Preferences | 04:55 |
| zachalink | Just PCM, Front Mic, Line-in, CD, and PC speaker | 04:55 |
| zachalink | and my mic is on the back.. | 04:55 |
| nickrud_ | wassa: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts , it will get the fonts from there for you | 04:55 |
| chaosrl | there should be check box options to show microphone, mic boost, and capture | 04:55 |
| Tempete | singlesun: It's not that bad. I've only been using linux for.. A month or two. I think learning it all is pretty fun, though. | 04:56 |
| Rasta | I have a Nvidia 8600GT, compiz should work well on it right? i just see working a few effects, theres a guide to help you i how to use(or at least know) all of them? | 04:56 |

| Pie-rate | how can i bind a key to make the focused window always on top, and how can i bind a key to remove window decorations from the focused window? | 04:56 |
| un0p | wassa, sudo aptitude install msttcorefonts | 04:56 |
| zachalink | do I have to not have the x on the microphone icon on the recording tab? | 04:57 |
| daniel92 | Pie-rate: wow. good luck. | 04:57 |
| Tempete | singlesun: I didn't read any books.. Just switched to distros that do less for you which kinda forces you to scour the internet and just learn how to do stuff as you go. | 04:57 |
| wassa | you keep typing that but I don't know what it means | 04:57 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: on mine, i right click the volume thing, click "Open Volume Control." Then in th eVolume Control box, go Edit -> Preferences, and then i have Master, PCM, CD, Microphone, Microphone Capture, Mic Boost, and Capture checked | 04:57 |
| chaosrl | zachalink: there shouldn't be an x anywhere; that means it's muted? | 04:57 |

| Rasta | nickrud_, ? | 05:01 |
| daniel92 | wassa: it is the basic graphics system that linux runs on. e.g. gnome and kde are desktop environments that run over x | 05:01 |
| nickrud_ | wassa: it's the system that does the drawing of your graphical screen, and knowing what it is is pretty much enough | 05:01 |
| techgeek40 | Jack-desktop: read this http://hacktivision.com/index.php?blog=2&title=how-to-install-emerald-theme-manager-in-&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 | 05:01 |
| wassa | ok thanks | 05:01 |
| daniel92 | nickrud_: yeah, that sums it up better | 05:01 |
| benanzo | Look under Beryl and Compiz | 05:01 |
| nickrud_ | Rasta: system->prefs->appearance , fonts tab | 05:01 |
| benanzo | those are the emerald themes | 05:01 |
| wassa | sorry.. I thought i was doing my wife a favour by hooking her up with an old laptop that would be easy to work on | 05:02 |
| jack-desktop | techgeek40, doesn't answer my question directly, but ok. | 05:02 |
| Rasta | nickrud_ im there | 05:02 |
| wassa | you would think that by installing language packs and SCIM etc.. and enabling east language support in OO2.3 that would cover the bases of getting the actual fonts installed | 05:03 |
| nickrud_ | Rasta: now you can select which font you want .... | 05:03 |
| nickrud_ | wassa: system->admin->language support , that didn't do it? | 05:03 |
| Rasta | lol, nickrud_ i wasnt asking for that | 05:03 |
| Rasta | but thanks :) | 05:03 |
| wassa | i can enter japanese in the text editor.. but not in OO | 05:04 |
| nickrud_ | Rasta: oh, I misunderstood then. What was it you were looking for? | 05:04 |
| Rasta | how to use the compiz effects, besides cube rotating and wobbly windos | 05:05 |
| Rasta | water effect, paint fire, etc | 05:05 |
| singlesun | Tempete, bad news... minbar says sunrise is at 4:20 PM | 05:05 |
| singlesun | Tempete, lol | 05:05 |
| Rasta | ctrl+alt+right/left its what i do now | 05:05 |
| nickrud_ | wassa: I don't see japanese support for openoffice ... | 05:05 |
| mouseboyx | Its : compizconfig-settings-manager | 05:05 |
| Tempete | singlesun, nickrud_.. Any idea? That's his app :p I'll look around but I've never touched it before. | 05:06 |

| techgeek40 | Nickrud: Hate to be stupid - but what am I looking for? I went to www.medibuntu.org ---- I have NO idea what I am looking for | 05:06 |
| daniel92 | everyone: see you guys tomorrow. bedtime here. | 05:06 |

| singlesun | Tempete, LOL.... its nuts man nickrud_ checking now | 05:07 |
| wassa | it talks about how just adding the language support will work for text editor but not for apps like open office | 05:07 |

| === lupos\royman is now known as lupos | ||
| === lupos is now known as lupos` | ||
| mouseboyx | Yes, Adobe has yet to make 64bit flash | 05:09 |
| singlesun | Tempete, nickrud_, it had to do with the computer having the wrong time zone set in the config file... was set to timezone 3 whatever that is... it should have been -6 for CST... cuz im in texas | 05:09 |
| mouseboyx | That is the only thing keeping me from 64bit. | 05:09 |
| singlesun | i had the 64 bit ubuntu and went through hell trying to get flash and java to work | 05:09 |
| nickrud_ | techgeek40: what exact error did you get, can't find it in the scrollback | 05:09 |
| singlesun | i switched back to 32 | 05:09 |

| geokeratz | fatedkiss> i once had installed the 64bit but everything was in beta or missing , AND flash was really unstable | 05:10 |
| mouseboyx | Yeah, I have no idea just how hard for them it could be... | 05:10 |

| singlesun | mouseboyx, nope, google working fine for me | 05:11 |

| nickrud_ | wassa: don't know about that. In theory they should work, but I wouldn't be suprised at all if the format was different os to os | 05:12 |
| geokeratz | fatedkiss> :-( | 05:12 |
| mouseboyx | Can't ping google either. | 05:12 |
| singlesun | Tempete, haha, hey man i appreciate that ALOT and I wish you the best of luck with your studies ;) | 05:12 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, im not that linux advanced yet id probably not do so well at actually building anything | 05:12 |
| wassa | im used to just dropping fonts in c:/fonts.. but where do i do that here? using 7.10 | 05:13 |
| jack-desktop | anyone know why alt+f2 isn't working? | 05:13 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, you'd be surprised at how easy it is -- especially with the instruction in hand | 05:13 |
| vbabiy | jack-desktop: check you keyboard shortcuts. | 05:13 |
| mouseboyx | altf2 requires gnome | 05:13 |
| jack-desktop | vbabiy, it's there, and set. | 05:14 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, lol i try it perhaps guess it cant hurt, but youd be supprised at some of the things i have problems with even witht he instructions at hand | 05:14 |
| Starnestommy | or kde | 05:14 |
| CVD | ? | 05:14 |
| jack-desktop | mouseboyx, i have gnome | 05:14 |
| pvl1 | im having really annoying problems with opengl | 05:14 |
| vbabiy | jack-desktop: have you tried to logout and back in | 05:14 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, it's not just you who has that problem -- i have it everyday :) | 05:14 |
| jack-desktop | vbabiy, that'll probably work, but i wanted a reason why this happens to me | 05:15 |
| vbabiy | jack-desktop: have you touch your settings | 05:15 |
| jack-desktop | nope | 05:15 |
| vbabiy | jack-desktop: not sure | 05:16 |
| mouseboyx | I bound Ctrl+Shift+Space for a terminal its very usefull | 05:16 |

| === vbabiy is now known as vbabiy_laptop | ||
| jack-desktop | vbabiy, gutsy, i had no window manager, that could of been why it didnt work | 05:17 |

| Qwexer | the error is: Failed to execute child process "/usr/share/applications/gpsdrive.desktop" (Permission denied) | 05:18 |
| pvl1 | Qwexer, use sudo | 05:18 |
| Qwexer | ok | 05:19 |
| nickrud_ | Qwexer: did you give the right permissions to the .desktop file ? | 05:19 |
| pvl1 | even better | 05:19 |
| Shpook | pvl1: From what I've gathered so far, ndiswrapper won't work if the card doesn't exist to the system. | 05:19 |
| Qwexer | I dont know how, I just click edit then browser and click the file, thats all I did, let me try that | 05:20 |
| nickrud_ | Shpook: is it a usb wireless ? | 05:20 |
| pvl1 | Shpook, well sometimes, thats the only way that ndiwswrapper can pick it up from what i understand. but thats the only thing i know thatcan work | 05:20 |
| Shpook | nickrud_: No, built in wireless on a laptop. Gateway at that. :-/ | 05:20 |
| Qwexer | ok I didnt how do I in terminal? | 05:20 |

| n2diy_ | chmod 777 is dangerous. | 05:21 |
| stmiller | woops wrong window | 05:21 |
| mouseboyx | Yes, it is. | 05:21 |
| wassa | can someone just work with me for five minutes that I am not missing something completely obvious? It should only take about 5 mins? | 05:22 |
| mouseboyx | If you don't know what you are doing. | 05:22 |

| Shpook | nickrud_: It came preinstalled with Vista, and wireless was working with it...this is the first time I've come across something like this. | 05:22 |
| un0p | jimmygoon, verify that there isnt an entry for that source in the directory /etc/apt/sources.d/ | 05:23 |
| nickrud_ | jimmygoon: make sure there's not a deb line in a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | 05:23 |

| CVD | any way to backup my xchat settings, networks etc..? | 05:24 |

| fatedkiss | un0p, i have no idea what that chroot stuff i talking about really | 05:24 |
| nickrud_ | Shpook: that doesn't make much sense, lspci should find if it by reading the hardware | 05:24 |

| fatedkiss | Shpook, try looking for it in system>preferences>system information | 05:26 |
| lucastom | hey guys | 05:26 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, new concepts arent really meant to make sense :) basically a chroot is a compartment on the OS with it's own seperate environment, files, etc .. in this context, it allows you to have a 32bit compartment on a 64bit OS | 05:26 |
| wassa | then after that do a synaptic package of SCIM and SCIM x-bridge | 05:26 |
| fatedkiss | Shpook, Hardware information rather | 05:26 |
| lucastom | im new to ubuntu and i need some guidance toward installin\ | 05:27 |
| lucastom | i have some questions | 05:27 |
| nickrud_ | !ask | lucastom | 05:27 |
| ubotu | lucastom: 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. :-) | 05:27 |
| Shpook | n2diy_: No, lshw doesn't show it either. | 05:27 |
| Qwexer | nickrud: how do I give the right permissions to that file? | 05:27 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, sweet.. <.< would i install all 32 bit packages in the chroot dir? | 05:27 |
| nickrud_ | Qwexer: sudo chmod 644 /path/to/file | 05:28 |
| Qwexer | ok, tyvm | 05:28 |
| wassa | UnOp you still there? | 05:28 |
| isleshocky77 | I think this might be more of a php or java question, but does anyone know of any terminal emulators that run on php or java? | 05:28 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, yes .. but it'll take a little configuring and linking to have them up as desktop icons, etc .. it's all in the wiki :) | 05:28 |
| un0p | wassa, aye | 05:28 |
| Shpook | fatedkiss: No luck there, either. | 05:28 |
| fatedkiss | Shpook, wierd.. even if the device didnt have drivers it should be listed somehwere >.> | 05:29 |
| wassa | were you able to get the scim installed? | 05:29 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, i dun care bout desktop icons i just want flash to work ; ; | 05:29 |
| Shpook | fatedkiss: That's the problem I'm having. At least if it was detected by the system, I could find the drivers for it. | 05:30 |
| fatedkiss | Shpook, Right..im an extreamest and nto very good with suggestions so i wouldnt listen to me much >.> | 05:30 |
| Shpook | fatedkiss: :-) Don't worry about it, anything is worth a shot. | 05:31 |
| fatedkiss | Shpook, to fix my sound card problem i just reinstalled ubuntu | 05:31 |
| Qwexer | ok, how do I know that worked? if I look at the permission, what should I look for? | 05:31 |
| lucastom | i just install feisty, and after installing and restart, when i remove the cd, my pc freezes | 05:31 |
| lucastom | any idea? | 05:31 |
| Shpook | fatedkiss: I'm getting close to doing the same. | 05:31 |

| hdevalence- | How do I set up telnet login? | 05:35 |
| emma | I don't get it. | 05:35 |
| Qwexer | says permission denied, I need to change the permission | 05:35 |
| falconer | yeah, I got that too, until I figured out what to do by much trial | 05:35 |
| emma | I think I need to get apache, mysql, and php. | 05:35 |
| falconer | oh, I don't think I got permission denied ... | 05:35 |
| penars2 | why must even the simplest things like changing resolution be so difficult and time consuming in linux | 05:35 |
| htns | penars: switch to mac then | 05:36 |
| htns | it just works | 05:36 |
| lucastom | could someone tell me why when i restarting my pc after installing, it freezes? | 05:36 |
| isleshocky77 | If something requires a prompted response, is there a way to pipe in that response in the same command? | 05:36 |
| wassa | everything in Open Office says that it supports east asian language and can switch between the two. Any ideas why I can't? | 05:36 |
| un0p | emma, you dont need apache and php to learn mysql .. but you do need them if you are learning mysql on LAMP | 05:36 |
| IcemanV9 | hdevalence-: it would be better if you could use ssh instead of telnet ... sudo aptitude install openssh-server | 05:36 |
| un0p | wassa, you probably need to install the language pack for the language you want | 05:37 |
| hdevalence- | IcemanV9: I have ssh, but Id like telnet /because/ it's unencrypted | 05:37 |
| hdevalence- | *I'd | 05:37 |
| emma | penars2, imagine if all that separated you from a colony of people with lethal ebola was a 40 foot wall that you were healthy enough to climb. I see the challenges of Linux as being like that wall and the ebola infested mob as windows users. | 05:37 |
| un0p | hdevalence-, any specific reason for that choice? | 05:37 |
| Qwexer | falconer: you just added the program and it just worked? was it a program you installed yourself or though the add/remove window | 05:37 |
| falconer | I had installed it through synaptic. | 05:38 |
| wassa | UnOp when I look at open office packages, it appears that every sings JA language pack is already installed | 05:38 |
| IcemanV9 | lucastom: it would be better to ask a question here; there are more ppl that could answer ... give it a few moments | 05:38 |
| hdevalence- | well, in this case I'm using ssh -X localhost to login as a different user and run gui programs | 05:38 |
| falconer | I also added a link to a web address | 05:38 |
| hdevalence- | but encrypting/decrypting adds a lot of overhead | 05:38 |
| isleshocky77 | Case in point. My remote server's openssh-server died. I'm now trying to run it through phpterm, I can get to a prompt as www-data. But I need to be able to sudo. so I can do sudo -u user -p but -p gives a prompt, I can't just specify a password there. Can I pipe it in or something like that? sudo -u user -p < 'password' or sudo -u user -p |password | 05:39 |
| wassa | when i look at the font that it will use for asian entry,,, it is definitely asian.. however it seems that the font itself is not installed. which begs the question.. what could i be missing? | 05:39 |

| cjones | thanks | 05:45 |
| mouseboyx | Virtual box works better with ubuntu. | 05:45 |

| IcemanV9 | lucastom: feisty .. it should be able to boot up since it completed the install at the end (remove CD) | 05:48 |
| mouseboyx | penars, You could do an autologin. | 05:48 |
| wassa | i have anthy enabled too | 05:48 |
| IcemanV9 | lucastom: And when you boot up, hit the ESC key .. and pick the recovery one | 05:48 |
| mouseboyx | You can try reinstalling it lucastom. | 05:49 |
| lucastom | done that 3 times already | 05:49 |

| lucastom | im using a laptop with window, and want to make my desktop into linux | 06:06 |
| fatedkiss | lucastom, i would say your best bet is just using a donwload mirror directly not using flashget | 06:07 |

| Shpook | So, I'm assuming that if my wireless card isn't detected at all, there's nothing I can do but buy a Cardbus addon? | 06:08 |
| lucastom | but the official ubuntu only give out one version | 06:08 |
| mouseboyx | You put a decimal point in binary. | 06:08 |

| BehiiMehii | How do I mount an external harddrive? | 06:10 |

| mouseboyx | mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/exharddrive -o force | 06:20 |

| IcemanV9 | jiggy: is it working okay now? I don't know what else to look for except the ubuntuforums.org | 06:24 |

| fallore | MasterShrek: i'm going to reboot to have the effects take place | 06:48 |
| justin111 | this is why i hate ubuntu i never get support | 06:48 |
| KrisWood | h3r0, either use apt-get or dpkg depending on what you're installing and how you are getting it | 06:48 |
| nickrud_ | justin111: sorry we don't all fall over when you ask | 06:49 |
| KrisWood | MasterShrek, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that one. :) | 06:49 |
| h3r0 | well it was in a .deb and i used dpkg and it relies on packages that i dont have | 06:49 |

| KrisWood | the actual machine is 3000 miles away so the only way I get gnome is via vmware console and that's sooooo slow >.< | 07:02 |

| KrisWood | Thanks MasterShrek that was quite painless | 07:07 |
| profx | o, so Primary for it fine ? | 07:07 |
| profx | or logical ? | 07:07 |
| fallore | MasterShrek: nothing seems to have happened. | 07:07 |
| ere4si | Plen0x, you can go to gnome-look.org and find a theme that does that | 07:07 |
| MasterShrek | no problem KrisWood | 07:07 |
| nickrud | profx: first three partitions primary, then an extended and any others logical | 07:07 |

| ere4si | Plen0x, I use fluxbox atm... | 07:08 |
| MasterShrek | fallore, im not sure then, i always install the driver manually from nvidia's website and it has the xconfig program, i always thought it had it with ubuntu too, maybe you need another package, but i have no idea which one | 07:08 |
| profx | ugh | 07:08 |

| justin111 | similar to "Argh the driver is NULL" after a few seconds it goes to an screen with the text bar blinking then black then back 3 times then takes me to the login screen i have no idea what is going wrong help would be much appreciated. i need to get onto my clans TS server ASAP so help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance | 07:18 |
| profx | wow justin111 use pastebin next time | 07:19 |

| nicholaspaul | sorry profx | 07:37 |
| Shinma | i do, but couldnt find and answer to my question | 07:37 |
| travisat | whats google? | 07:37 |
| Shinma | :/ | 07:37 |
| pewpewpew | grekkos: xvidcap should do the trick as well | 07:38 |
| ilzz | 哪位帮unibit做了alias吗？ | 07:38 |
| profx | nicholaspaul, maybe the error might prove to be a bit more useful | 07:38 |
| grekkos | pewpewpew: i had problems with xvidcap | 07:38 |
| ere4si | Shinma, it might be a bios setting - check your powersaving settings and how the comp is allowed to wakeup | 07:38 |
| Ashfire908 | timob, huh? | 07:38 |

| grekkos | pewpewpew: the video got distorted in the areas that moved (i.e. the mouse trail) | 07:38 |
| MasterShrek | i always used xvidcap | 07:38 |
| nicholaspaul | profx. error? it says 'burning failed.' Do some apps give more info? I've tried a few. | 07:38 |
| Jasmin_ | nickrud: i did that command then my pc was hang | 07:38 |
| Shinma | ere4si: i dual boot vista (trying to quit it) and vista doesnt have the same issue at all | 07:38 |
| MasterShrek | but its been awhile, and it probably doesnt play well with compiz | 07:38 |
| rajasun | ilzz:try /j #ubuntu-zh maybe | 07:38 |
| shady_inc | I am not very sure about which partition is extended.Will sudo fdisk -l help.? | 07:38 |
| pewpewpew | grekkos: hm. your video drivers aren't a problem i suppose? | 07:39 |
| ilzz | sorry, i enter a wrong room`` | 07:39 |
| MasterShrek | shady_inc, most likely | 07:39 |
| nickrud | Jasmin_: then you probably shouldn't run compiz, your card has been blacklisted for a good reason I guess | 07:39 |
| grekkos | pewpewpew: i'm using the restricted ones and they seem to be working pretty well | 07:39 |
| Ashfire908 | timob, you know the thing to tell find to have the filename not have something in the name? | 07:39 |
| VvWolverinevV | hi, can anyone tell me how to have ktorrent skip the included files dialogue after you open a torrent file? | 07:39 |
| grekkos | pewpewpew: fglrx for ATI | 07:39 |
| ScorpKing | shady_inc: sudo cfdisk /dev/sd? works as well | 07:39 |
| pewpewpew | can't help you then, never actually used xvidcap. and i'm on nvidia | 07:39 |

| jscinoz | hey guys, im running gutsy on a dell xps m1330, it has a core2duo cpu and /proc/cpuinfo states it also supports hyperthreading, however i cant find anything about hyperthreading in my bios, and gnome-system-monitor just shows the two physical cores. How can i enable hyperthreading on this cpu and then have 4 logical cpus. | 07:40 |
| Jasmin_ | nickrud: now what doi hav to do for that | 07:40 |
| shady_inc | FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive Press any key to exit cfdisk | 07:40 |

| ScorpKing | shady_inc: sudo cfdisk /dev/sda or whatever it is | 07:40 |
| nicholaspaul | profx: If I may copy/paste ONE line .... | 07:40 |
| nickrud | Jasmin_: get a different video card, or maybe wait till a better driver for your intel 965 comes out. compiz is still really new and doesn't work on all cards | 07:40 |

| nickrud | Jasmin_: a cheap nvidia 6200 works really well | 07:41 |
| nicholaspaul | profx: the error I get in Gnomebaker is: :-[ READ DISC INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=57h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error | 07:41 |
| ScorpKing | shady_inc: you'll have to fix that with fdisk somehow | 07:42 |
| Ashfire908 | timob, i don't know much about bash's functions, do i have to escape ! | 07:42 |
| MasterShrek | jscinoz, isnt a core2duo just a dual core? you shouldnt have 4 i dont think | 07:42 |
| Shinma | I am having an unusual problem, when my monitor gets shutoff by DPMS it wont come back (seems the computer freezes as the caps lock key shows nothing on the keyboard). I'm using a Samsung 225BW with the latest official ATI driver and an ATI X1600. No errors or anything, but checking xset q shows my DPMS settings get reset all the time | 07:42 |
| Shinma | to 0 0 0 i mean | 07:42 |
| Jasmin_ | nickrud: but i hav intel so now itel doesnt work compiz ? | 07:42 |
| Jasmin_ | err intel | 07:42 |
| nickrud | Jasmin_: not the 965 , or many versions of it | 07:42 |
| timob | Ashfire908: no ! does not need to be escaped, here is an example ... find ! -name '*.txt' | 07:43 |
| shady_inc | So, I guess it will be better asking in ubuntuforums.? | 07:43 |
| nickrud | Jasmin_: that page I gave you is the official info from the compiz developers | 07:43 |
| MasterShrek | shady_inc, or in #linux maybe | 07:43 |
| nicholaspaul | Does anyone know if there are drivers that I might need for a DVD-RW ? | 07:43 |
| nicholaspaul | aint it plug n pray? | 07:43 |
| shady_inc | ok...thanks.! | 07:44 |
| Jasmin_ | nickrud: ok any other idea u hav to use on intel | 07:44 |
| MasterShrek | nicholaspaul, i wouldnt think you need drivers for it | 07:44 |
| slaani | Does anyone have a wireless utility that they'd endorse? Something graphical I can use to view signal strength, encryption type, etc on available networks would be just dandy. | 07:44 |
| rredd4_ | nickrud after i uninstalled wallpaper-tray, I installed it again, and i still get "no wallpapers were found..." error and cannot get into the config window. any ideas? | 07:44 |
| rajasun | rredd4: sorry wasn't around earlier, so may have missed the earlier convo but did you install wallpaper-tray off the official repo or di you compile from source? sudo apt-get --purge remove wallpaper-tray should have remove the package and purged any configs it may have. although user-specific i.e. those not meant for all other users you may have on your system may remain in perhaps say ~/.wallpaper-tray | 07:44 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: it reads, but wont write DVDs. I get the error: :-[ READ DISC INFORMATION failed with SK=3h/ASC=57h/ACQ=00h]: Input/output error | 07:44 |

| Plen0x | eshear, no luck. Tried all these so far :P | 07:45 |
| nickrud | Jasmin_: nope. But you might be able to find someone active on #compiz-fusion with more insight | 07:45 |
| Jasmin_ | nickrud: ok thanks | 07:45 |
| MasterShrek | nicholaspaul, i dont use gnome, much less gnome-baker, but you can install k3b (its a kde program, so youll itll install some kde libraries) it will run under gnome, and i havent found a better cd/dvd burning program for linux yet | 07:45 |
| rredd4_ | rajasun i am only user, yes installed off of official repo, did not compile. I copy pasted your command | 07:46 |
| Jasmin_ | nickrud: i wil try on that chenal | 07:46 |
| Shinma | ok ill ask in the forums , thanks anyway | 07:46 |
| Plen0x | eshear, even. Read up :P | 07:46 |

| rredd4_ | ok | 07:48 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: hmm good call. I'll give it a shot. Thanks man! | 07:48 |
| MasterShrek | no prob nicholaspaul good luck :) | 07:48 |

| * nicholaspaul holds nose. | 07:48 | |

| norty | I have a drive that I can access through places > computer and then i see the icon, double click it, put in the password and it is then mounted. How do I have it automatically mount when I log in? note: i am running ubuntu 7.10 and the drive is in ntfs format since i used it to store files when I am on xp since my computer has 2 OSs (XP and ubuntu)..? | 07:50 |
| Cpudan80 | norty: edit /etc/fstab | 07:50 |
| MasterShrek | !fstab | norty | 07:50 |
| ubotu | norty: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 07:50 |
| jrib | !ntfs > norty (read the private message from ubotu) | 07:50 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: poo. Gnomebaker won't even startup. Not with ALTF2 and/or commandline. | 07:50 |
| travisat | have fun with fstab in gutsy uuid sucks | 07:50 |
| MasterShrek | !ntfs | norty | 07:51 |
| ubotu | norty: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 07:51 |
| travisat | well it doesn't suck but for me it is craziness | 07:51 |
| MasterShrek | nicholaspaul, eww, k3b? | 07:51 |
| nickrud | travisat: get used to it, it's going to adopted everywhere soon | 07:51 |
| MasterShrek | travisat, you dont HAVE to use uuid | 07:51 |
| rredd4_ | nickrud i will just remove it, forever | 07:51 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: alrighty | 07:51 |
| * MasterShrek wont conform | 07:51 | |
| MasterShrek | lol | 07:51 |
| nickrud | rredd4_: I beat you to it | 07:51 |
| rredd4_ | lol | 07:52 |
| travisat | I suppose I don't have to, its just that it took me forever to get a seperate home partition up because I didn't realize I needed to put the uuid instead of the /dev/foo in fstab | 07:52 |
| newbie | u | 07:52 |
| nickrud | MasterShrek: first time the kernel changes device id's out from under you, you will come in. Maybe kicking and screaming, but come in : | 07:52 |
| rajasun | rredd4_: one radical...could be extreme solution...do a dpkg -L wallpaper-tray, note down all the files the package installs and their locations, do a sudo apt-get --purge remove wallpaper-tray, then check to see manually if each and every file of wallpaper-tray's has indeed been removed by the apt-get --purge remove operation. If not remove them manually via sudo rm -r /path/to/file. | 07:52 |
| travisat | my only issue with uuid is that it is so big | 07:53 |
| nickrud | and fugly | 07:53 |
| travisat | if I had to do some grub editting in grub, my life might be bad | 07:53 |
| MasterShrek | nickrud, why and when would the kernel do such a thing? ive compiled many many kernels and never had a problem with it | 07:53 |
| rredd4_ | rajasun ok, ty | 07:53 |
| rajasun | rredd4: np | 07:53 |
| slaani | Does anyone have a wireless utility that they'd endorse? Something graphical I can use to view signal strength, encryption type, etc on available networks would be just dandy. Thanks in advance. | 07:54 |
| MasterShrek | i always thought the uuid thing was for if you were to phyiscally move the drive, say on a different controller | 07:54 |
| nickrud | MasterShrek: I'm not really up on all the stuff, but that's why the uuid's are coming in. And it is kinda nice. I split a partition in two (before my linux partitions) and didn't have to edit fstab even though the /dev/hdX changed for everything (did have to make one change to grub, though) | 07:54 |
| rredd4_ | rajasun does webilder change desktop pics at a specified time interval? | 07:55 |
| nickrud | !libata | 07:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:55 |
| nickrud | !uuid | 07:55 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 07:55 |
| MasterShrek | ic, im sure it will make things easier in the long run, but it will be quite a pain to adapt imho | 07:55 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: k3b run as root seems to try a bit harder, but still fails. I have a loooong error log if you like... | 07:56 |
| MasterShrek | nicholaspaul, if you want to pastebin it ill take a look, but no promises :) | 07:56 |
| nickrud | MasterShrek: as soon as grub uses uuid's for (hdx,x) in it's stanza's it will really be good | 07:56 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: hehe thanks! wheres the pastebin (me forgot) | 07:57 |
| MasterShrek | !paste | 07:57 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 07:57 |
| rajasun | rredd4_: yes...but I disabled that option on my desktop machine. It actually does more than that, it can download wallpapers off flickr and other sites you specify. | 07:57 |
| rredd4_ | rajasun ty | 07:57 |
| travisat | well if the uuid was somewhat shorter I would have no problem, or if there was an easy way to change the uuid to something user entered like home root var etc | 07:57 |
| MasterShrek | nickrud, i suppose, it will make it much less confusing when configuring grub since it starts at 0 instead of 1 | 07:57 |
| rajasun | rredd4: np | 07:58 |
| nicholaspaul | fanks MasterShrek | 07:58 |
| nickrud | MasterShrek: the only real pain I've run into is dd copies over the uuid to the new partition. Confuses the heck out of linux | 07:58 |
| nickrud | when there are two identical uuid's | 07:59 |
| MasterShrek | ooh, never thought about that, definately that would be a pain | 07:59 |
| nicholaspaul | MasterShrek: my error is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53528/ | 07:59 |
| MasterShrek | i always thought uuid was a hardware identifier of some sort or something | 07:59 |
| nickrud | tune2fs -U random writes a new unique uuid to the partition though | 08:00 |
| MasterShrek | oh, i didnt know that | 08:00 |
| nickrud | I went round and round with a guy that did a dd , finally learned enough to sort it out | 08:01 |
| MasterShrek | nicholaspaul, you call that a long log? lol | 08:01 |
| MasterShrek | nicholaspaul, looks like growisofs is the culprit | 08:01 |

| nickrud | anyway, it's a night see you all later | 08:01 |

| pandab34r | Im not talking about p2p... mostly just napster b/c i already have the service | 08:07 |

I guess that is because I need to compile it at 32 bits? If I do that I will also need to compile simon and its library at 32 bits? How would I compile something at 32 bits? I read http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-564092.html and the article it li | 08:35 |
| Gokee2 | nked to but it never got around to telling my the flag needed to give make. | 08:35 |

| Starnestommy | cox377: I'd recommend epiphany or konqueror | 08:46 |
| xoqa | cox377: i'll see if i can find the program.. but there's a lighter browser than firefox but which has more features than epiphany | 08:46 |
| Starnestommy | opera? | 08:46 |
| ijn | anyone can sugest what hdd exterior to by that is working with ubuntu? | 08:46 |
| xoqa | konqueror only if you are using kde imo | 08:46 |
| xoqa | konqueror is my browser of choice | 08:47 |
| bullgard4 | drgeb: I think there is no defintie answer to your question "if your system is startingup ok" in your strict sense. | 08:47 |

| ijn | no driver needed | 08:49 |
| bullgard4 | bullgard4: That is, most users can live with some warnings at startup. | 08:49 |
| Stupid^Kid | sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 | 08:49 |
| jqk | DoomGuard: He simply wants to change permission, which is chmod. | 08:49 |
| jqk | similar to attrib on windows. | 08:49 |
| phylogenesis | Aha, I think that would've worked, but it seems that my whole windows partition is read only now | 08:49 |
| phylogenesis | not sure why but I'll get to that problem later, thanks | 08:50 |
| bullgard4 | drgeb: That is, most users can live with some warnings at startup. | 08:50 |

| jqk | phylogenesis: reboot your apache, to take effect. | 08:50 |

| travisat | ijn: drivers are already in the kernel for almost every hard drive, really old or really wierd ones aren't guarenteed to work but probably will, just get one from a major manufacturer like western digital or seagate and you should have no problems | 08:50 |
| xoqa | brb | 08:50 |

| jqk | fallore: I know, | 08:56 |
| jqk | Stupid^Kid: restart your apache, to take effect .. I've said that ~5 min ago. | 08:56 |
| dirken | jfuirnefjdk: i don't know but i wanne give it a try but can't get the right version installed through the official wine repo :s | 08:57 |
| travisat | dirken: if you can wait a couple days, the .9.54 was just released yesterday | 08:57 |
| travisat | so the binary for ubuntu might not be up yet | 08:57 |
| jfuirnefjdk | The Ubuntu repository doesn't have the proper version? | 08:57 |
| Stupid^Kid | jqk: yea , i restart it but still nothing happen | 08:57 |
| phylogenesis | Can someone help me get my wireless connection working? I can see my card, I've edited the settings, but when I try to connect it just says it's making the changes, then tells me I'm disconnected | 08:57 |

| jqk | Stupid^Kid: How did you restart it? | 08:57 |
| phylogenesis | then it connects with the wired connection I'm on right now | 08:57 |

| dirken | jfuirnefjdk: indeed, the ubuntu repo is still one version behind | 08:58 |
| travisat | dirken: no just because the sources are released doesn't mean the binary will be yet | 08:58 |
| AtA | :) | 08:58 |
| travisat | dirken: should be up soon I would think | 08:58 |
| jqk | Stupid^Kid: Try testing php .. see if it works. | 08:59 |
| dirken | travisat: ok thx a lot!!! | 08:59 |
| jfuirnefjdk | Yeah I checked mine is indeed outdated. | 09:00 |
| Stupid^Kid | jqk: yes, it works | 09:00 |
| jfuirnefjdk | I'm going to go ask in #crossover which version of wine 6.2 pro is based on. | 09:00 |
| travisat | its really not outdated its just that the newest was just released yesterday, somebody volunteers their time to compile the source to make the ubuntu binary and hasn't got one up yet | 09:01 |
| jfuirnefjdk | lol I didn't know it was released only yesterday? | 09:01 |

| nelsonuwp | it doesnt work on ubuntu either, I get the tty error | 09:03 |
| jfuirnefjdk | nelsonuwp Is it a pirated copy? | 09:03 |
| nelsonuwp | no | 09:04 |
| travisat | nelsonuwp: most likely it is because you have windows installed | 09:04 |
| jfuirnefjdk | Haha travisat. | 09:04 |
| travisat | having windows installed makes windows boot up slow | 09:04 |
| nelsonuwp | i've been trying to fix this for the last 14 hours | 09:04 |
| jfuirnefjdk | nelsonuwp Try another distro for the sake of knowing if your PC is capable of booting anything at all | 09:04 |

| HardDisk | yes. | 09:19 |
| fallore | how can i check if i have open-gl support? i've got an nvidia 7900 with restricted drivers and 3d acceleration activated | 09:19 |
| HardDisk | remember to remove quiet splash -- | 09:19 |
| HardDisk | and type all_generic_ide instead of it | 09:19 |
| sysop | Anyone have a good undertanding of the login process, I want to create a new login type, like gnome | 09:19 |
| nelsonuwp | k | 09:19 |
| HardDisk | sysop, gnome is not a login type...what exactly do you want to do? | 09:20 |
| nelsonuwp | its doing a bunch of stuff | 09:20 |
| HardDisk | nelsonuwp, that's normal. | 09:20 |
| nelsonuwp | ..i know | 09:20 |
| nelsonuwp | i think | 09:20 |
| norty | Question: is there a good desktop calendar program? i've tried rainlendar2 but it doesn't seem to work and i dont want something like sunbird or evolution, i want it to be on my desktop and i can edit it and such.. ? | 09:20 |
| nelsonuwp | i feel so dumb right now | 09:20 |
| Fatih_Akdeniz | hi | 09:20 |
| HardDisk | norty, gdesklets or screenlets. | 09:20 |
| norty | i have gdesklets installed, i forgot how to access it though... ?? | 09:21 |
| chazco | Anyone know if running apt-get install lamp-server^ is _identical_ to running tasksel install lamp-server? (Trying to make a script, but tasksel has a bug which means it doesnt terminate) | 09:21 |
| HardDisk | you might want screenlets though, better GUI and have some nice calendars. | 09:21 |
| sysop | HardDisk: I want to be able to login to an application, basicly gnome, but my thing (FullScreen GUI application, I have the app, but dont know how to say here is another gnome like thing). | 09:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | norty: i dont have it installed, but isn't it in Applications/Accessories? | 09:21 |
| HardDisk | sysop, it's called gdm. | 09:21 |
| nelsonuwp | harddisk: failed to start the x server | 09:21 |
| nelsonuwp | normal? | 09:21 |
| HardDisk | no not normal. | 09:21 |
| nelsonuwp | ..oh | 09:21 |
| smidgeyyy | can someone please help me with installing ubuntu on a partition? i'm using the manual approach and i cant seem to create a new partition without creating a new partition table. | 09:22 |
| HardDisk | can you type startx | 09:22 |
| sysop | HardDisk: GMD, looks like the beast I am looking for, you know of an easy way to add one? | 09:22 |
| chazco | If not can anyone tell me if there is an updated tasksel in gusty-proposed? | 09:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: how is your system setup currently | 09:23 |
| nelsonuwp | no, i cannot | 09:23 |
| sysop | HardDisk: GMD, looks like the beast I am looking for, you know of an easy way to add one (without interfearing with everything else)? | 09:23 |
| nelsonuwp | it said no screens found | 09:23 |
| norty | IndyGunFreak, where is Applications/Accessories | 09:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: are you just trying to reinstall grub? | 09:23 |
| norty | :x | 09:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | norty: applications menu, acesssories?.. | 09:23 |
| tvn1981 | anyone has a western digital 250 passport ? just wondering if that hd could be use in normal laptop ? | 09:23 |
| nelsonuwp | i'm trying to get any sort of operating system on my computer whatsoever | 09:23 |
| HardDisk | sysop, yes download them from gnome-look.org then open login window in administration, go to local, and drag the compressed file to the screen and it will be added. | 09:23 |
| HardDisk | sysop, OR you can install gnome-art | 09:24 |
| norty | o rofl | 09:24 |
| HardDisk | sysop, and you can automagically, choose and install the ones you want | 09:24 |
| norty | sorry im dumb | 09:24 |
| sysop | HardDisk: lol, no I want to install My app, not a download (unless I should package it for some reason) | 09:24 |
| nelsonuwp | indygunfreak: i've tried vista, it installs fine and then hangs when it boots up. I've tried ubuntu, I get an error about TTy | 09:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: you sure you don't have some sort of hardware issue? | 09:25 |
| nelsonuwp | HardDisk: I cant type startx, or aynthing. I hit ok and after a long text thing it said no screens found | 09:25 |
| Alphabmr | Hi, My problem concern a simulation of a 1Mbit in Ethernet | 09:25 |
| nelsonuwp | IndyGunFreak: I'm thinking so, I just got all of this crap today and put it together, I'm trying to figure otu what is wrong, Mobo, CPU? My HDD was already DOA | 09:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: how you're system partitions currently setup. | 09:26 |
| Alphabmr | I use HTB queue | 09:26 |
| HardDisk | sysop, oh you want to create your own, well http://www.gtk.org/tutorial/ | 09:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelson, yeah, sounds like you've got some sort if failure on the MB. | 09:26 |
| Alphabmr | with TC command to shape the traffic | 09:26 |
| nelsonuwp | IGF: does that sound like a MB failure? i've never built a pc before | 09:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: only makes sense, if Vista is failing, and so is Ubuntu, something is hokey w/ the motherboard. | 09:27 |
| travisat | nelsonuwp: you sure it isn't a vid card error? | 09:27 |
| KrisWood | if I want to find out if I've already got mysql installed on my ubuntu server what would the command be to find out? | 09:27 |
| nelsonuwp | vid card is on the mb | 09:27 |
| HardDisk | nelsonuwp, unfortunately your errors seem physical. I would go through troubleshooting, but it's too much work for me right now. | 09:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: only way to rule it out, is remove everything but video device, and motherboard, and try to install an OS. | 09:27 |
| sysop | HardDisk: lol, no I have created the app, I just need to know how to install it as a GDM, not how to write it | 09:27 |
| KrisWood | nm foun it | 09:27 |
| nelsonuwp | there's nothing in it right now | 09:28 |
| travisat | nelsonuwp: ah well then, could very well be your mobo | 09:28 |
| HardDisk | sysop, yes, read the site. | 09:28 |
| HardDisk | tells you how to package them. | 09:28 |
| nelsonuwp | all it is is MB, some ram, CPU, HDD and a dvd drive | 09:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: do you still need help? | 09:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: well, i'd say you've got it bare minimum. | 09:28 |
| nelsonuwp | I'm just trying to make a HTPC | 09:28 |
| HardDisk | sysop, what you need to search for is how to package gdm | 09:28 |
| travisat | nelsonuwp: did you order your stuff online and have it delivered and if so was your mobo and hd in same box? | 09:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: don't by cvhance have an old XP disk do you | 09:29 |
| sysop | HardDisk: sorry for not being as elliquent as I should be | 09:29 |
| HardDisk | or a hiren bootcd | 09:29 |
| nelsonuwp | i will in an hour.... | 09:29 |
| nelsonuwp | ha | 09:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 09:29 |
| phylogenesis | Thanks jqk | 09:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, try XP, see what hapens, if XP fails also, then we know its some hardware issue. | 09:29 |
| sysop | HardDisk: This is a tutorial on how to use GTK (the GIMP Toolkit) through its C interface.??? Isnt this a how to write an application page??? | 09:29 |
| nelsonuwp | travisat: the hdd and the mb were in the same box but the hdd was really packaged well | 09:29 |
| nelsonuwp | like lots of bubble wrap | 09:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | nelsonuwp: but thats the direction im' leaning on this one, w/ Ubuntu and vista failing | 09:29 |
| smidgeyyy | yes indygunfreak.. need help | 09:30 |
| jfuirnefjdk | There are a lot of good plugins for compiz fusion that aren't in packages. Who is resposible for making packages? Just anyone who feels like it? | 09:30 |
| nelsonuwp | i know | 09:30 |
| lordharsha | does anyone know how to fix the 301 error you get when trying to update the medibuntu repositories? | 09:30 |
| smidgeyyy | i private msg'd you | 09:30 |
| HardDisk | sysop, that's why I rectified and you need to search how to package a gdm | 09:30 |
| nelsonuwp | i was gonna try xp next | 09:30 |
| HardDisk | also we are getting off topic. | 09:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: i don't take messages, and second, you can't send messages unless your registered | 09:30 |
| nelsonuwp | but what if xp works, i'm stuck with crappy XP | 09:30 |
| smidgeyyy | ok sorry | 09:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: describe your current partition setup | 09:30 |
| sysop | HardDisk: ok, so I should package it, cool | 09:30 |
| travisat | nelsonuwp: if xp works just fine then it isn't a hardware issue | 09:30 |
| smidgeyyy | i created a 30gb partion in windows | 09:30 |
| nelsonuwp | true | 09:30 |
| HardDisk | travisat, that's not true. | 09:30 |
| smidgeyyy | when i click on the manual button | 09:30 |
| nelsonuwp | ..not true | 09:31 |
| Alphabmr | can you help me about QoS on my Ubuntu machine? | 09:31 |
| travisat | well if xp works you can usually make linux work | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | it comes up with this '/dev/sda | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | <smidgeyyy> '/dev/sda1 FAT16 /media/sda1 73mb 33mb used | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | <smidgeyyy> '/dev/sda2 NTFS /media/sda2 120gb 38gb used | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | <smidgeyyy> '/dev/sda5 NTFS /media/sda5 35gb unkown used | 09:31 |
| nelsonuwp | it should be just plug and play | 09:31 |

| nelsonuwp | i sholdnt have to mess around with this garbage | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | i figure that sda5 is the partition i created | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | i want to use that one to put ubuntu on | 09:31 |
| === Tyroazar1 is now known as Tyro2 | ||
| lordharsha | does anyone know how to fix the 301 error you get when trying to update the medibuntu repositories? | 09:31 |
| travisat | like for my example xp had no problem detecting my hard drive, but linux wouldn't, turned out linux doesn't like my sata to ide converter so I changed some bios options and now linux works just fine with my hd | 09:31 |
| nelsonuwp | and how can newegg seriously make me pay for TWO items that were damaged when they arrived? | 09:31 |
| smidgeyyy | sda2 is where windows is | 09:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, whast the fat16 partition? | 09:32 |
| HardDisk | nelsonuwp, #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:32 |
| smidgeyyy | its something for DELL stuff | 09:32 |
| === Tyro2 is now known as Ann1 | ||
| IndyGunFreak | ok. | 09:32 |
| travisat | smidgeyyy: don't delete that partition | 09:32 |
| smidgeyyy | yeah i dont want to :D or sda2 | 09:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | travisat: lol, i wasn't going to suggest he do that. | 09:32 |
| travisat | IndyGunFreak: I know people that have | 09:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: so whast the problem when you select SDA5? | 09:33 |
| smidgeyyy | when i press forward | 09:33 |
| smidgeyyy | it says you havent selected a mount path | 09:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, are you using the text installer, or the live CD? | 09:33 |
| smidgeyyy | i d/l the ISO from the site and burnt it to a CD | 09:34 |
| smidgeyyy | so i guess thats a live cd? | 09:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, that doesn't really answer my question, can you see an ubuntu desktop, surf the internet if you like?.. or are you going through a series of text menus? | 09:34 |
| smidgeyyy | desktop | 09:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok, thats the live cd | 09:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | so where are you right now, where you click manual partition? | 09:35 |
| smidgeyyy | yep i can navigate and do stuff. looks to have loaded it from cd | 09:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok. | 09:35 |
| smidgeyyy | in a prepare partitions screen | 09:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, so click on SDA5 | 09:36 |
| smidgeyyy | yep | 09:36 |
| sysop | HardDisk: Ough crap, I am sorry, Not the login window, the thing that comes up after you login??? | 09:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: one last question, how much system ram do you have? | 09:36 |
| smidgeyyy | 2gb | 09:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, so right click on SDA5, and choose "new" | 09:37 |
| HardDisk | sysop, oh you mean the splash | 09:37 |
| HardDisk | sysop, just the png file? | 09:37 |
| angah | hi..got prob here >> http://jasper.pastebin.com/m5bdee048 | 09:37 |
| travisat | I think he means the window managaer | 09:37 |
| smidgeyyy | no new option | 09:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm.. | 09:37 |
| angah | how to solve it? anyone knows? | 09:37 |
| smidgeyyy | only edit partition, delete partition, uno changes to partitions | 09:37 |
| smidgeyyy | *undo | 09:37 |
| sysop | HardDisk: no, the whole ui of the screen like gnome the thing with the clock and the start bar, I want to write a new one of thoes | 09:38 |
| HardDisk | ah | 09:38 |
| fallore | in my bottom taskbar, where it shows your open windows etc, my trash can icon is in the middle and scrunching up the window names. how can i move it? | 09:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: here's what i would do..... | 09:38 |
| smidgeyyy | yep | 09:38 |
| smidgeyyy | ? | 09:38 |
| HardDisk | window manager yea :) | 09:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | cuz something isn't making sense | 09:38 |
| HardDisk | a theme | 09:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | wait, | 09:38 |
| travisat | sysop: why exactly do you want to make a window manager? | 09:39 |
| sysop | HardDisk: ahh, a Windowmanager!!!! yea! that has to be it! KDE, Gnome, etc!!! yea | 09:39 |
| HardDisk | sysop, you have the entire theme as a whole, OR the window borders and controls seperately. | 09:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: what if you deleted that partition, then let the installer partition the free space? | 09:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | JUST MAKE SURE, THATS THE PARTITION YOU WANT TO USE | 09:39 |
| smidgeyyy | ok will try | 09:40 |
| HardDisk | sysop to create a whole new window manager gui....you sure you want to do that? | 09:40 |
| sysop | HardDisk: HardDisk, its a full screen app, so it handels all of that | 09:40 |
| sysop | HardDisk: yes | 09:40 |
| sysop | HardDisk: its already done | 09:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: delete partition, then after that, we'll setup the unallocated space | 09:40 |
| smidgeyyy | ok.. i have to head off for a bit | 09:41 |
| smidgeyyy | will be back in 40 mins. | 09:41 |
| travisat | sysop: if you just want the user to be able to access one program then you have more options then making a new window manager | 09:41 |
| angah | even i using apt-get clean..error come out also | 09:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | well i'll probably be gone, but good luck on it. | 09:41 |
| angah | i don know what to do | 09:41 |
| HardDisk | sysop, I'm sorry if I'm still unclear, can you show me a screenshot of what you mean? | 09:41 |
| === fallore_ is now known as fallore | ||
| smidgeyyy | ok thanks anyways indy. | 09:41 |
| smidgeyyy | i just deleted it then can create a new partition | 09:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, | 09:42 |
| smidgeyyy | have options to do primary or logical partition | 09:42 |
| smidgeyyy | this begining or end stuff | 09:42 |
| smidgeyyy | ext3 | 09:42 |
| sysop | HardDisk: unfortunatly no, I have a nondisclosure :-( wish I could | 09:42 |
| HardDisk | no worries. | 09:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, i can't remember if swap is a logical or primary(pretty sure its primary), | 09:43 |
| travisat | sysop: hmm I think you are asking in the wrong place | 09:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: but you need to create a 3gig swap partition | 09:43 |
| HardDisk | sysop, wait a sec, are you working with LiraNuna or KristianL on this? | 09:43 |
| HardDisk | cause I know they are making a new window manager | 09:43 |
| smidgeyyy | ok | 09:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: so you have a 3gig swap now | 09:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | ? | 09:44 |
| smidgeyyy | i created one as primary. 30 gb worth | 09:44 |
| smidgeyyy | then created a second one made it as swap | 09:44 |
| smidgeyyy | only 3 gb | 09:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok.. click next | 09:44 |
| smidgeyyy | and had it as at the end | 09:44 |
| sysop | HardDisk: The details of the app are not important, its really as simple as, add an entry like gnome to run my app instead of gnome, how? | 09:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: i'm pretty sure swap should be at the beginning.. | 09:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | but odn't hold me to that. | 09:44 |
| smidgeyyy | should it? | 09:44 |
| travisat | sysop: it is possilbe to make x load with no external window manager and load a program | 09:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | thast where i've always put it | 09:45 |
| smidgeyyy | whats the difference between logical and primary drive | 09:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: it may not matter. | 09:45 |
| smidgeyyy | ? | 09:45 |
| sysop | HardDisk: no, who are they? | 09:45 |
| HardDisk | gnome is the desktop environment.. | 09:45 |
| HardDisk | so are you creating a replacement to gnome/kde? or are you creating a window manager for gnome/kde? | 09:45 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy] Is the 'Documentation' folder originally contained in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/ or in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/? | 09:45 |
| smidgeyyy | bahhhh i have to go.. hopefully u'll still be here when i get back.. | 09:45 |
| smidgeyyy | if not thanks anyways for your help | 09:45 |
| smidgeyyy | much appreciated | 09:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | np | 09:46 |
| sysop | travisat: of course it is, how do you thinkgnome "starts"? | 09:46 |
| travisat | yep | 09:46 |
| HardDisk | in anycase you are in the wrong channel sysop you have to go to another channel that is involved in the development processes of linux environments | 09:46 |
| HardDisk | this is the ubuntu support channel. | 09:46 |
| sysop | HardDisk: a replacement for gnome/kde, only want to be able to switch through gdm | 09:47 |
| travisat | meh this isn't as complicated as you would think | 09:47 |
| bazhang | !ot | 09:47 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:47 |
| sysop | HardDisk: Ahh, ok, where should I be? | 09:47 |
| travisat | sysop | 09:47 |
| HardDisk | sysop, ask in #linux | 09:47 |
| travisat | open a terminal | 09:47 |
| travisat | go to /usr/share/xsessions | 09:48 |
| sysop | HardDisk: thanks,and sorry | 09:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | sysop: or maybe #gnome | 09:48 |
| Boris_ | hi | 09:48 |
| HardDisk | or #gnome, yep. | 09:48 |
| sysop | #gnome | 09:48 |
| travisat | cp an existing .desktop to your new name | 09:48 |
| Boris_ | ive got an old computer with CD ROM reader which can't boot ubuntu | 09:48 |
| travisat | edit the new .desktop file changing name and exec to your choice | 09:48 |
| travisat | done | 09:48 |
| Boris_ | in bios, ive set it to boot from ATAPI CD ROM first, but it still wont boot ubuntuž | 09:48 |
| Boris_ | ubuntu* | 09:48 |
| Boris_ | whats wrong ? | 09:48 |
| Boris_ | oh btw, it also wont boot puppy, fedora or anything else | 09:49 |
| Boglizk | Whats the file that shows up when someone connect to a ssh server? (Not the motd that appear when you sucessfully login) | 09:49 |
| bazhang | how old how much ram | 09:49 |
| Boris_ | maybe 256 | 09:49 |
| Boris_ | very old | 09:49 |
| Boris_ | it's got windoze 98 | 09:49 |
| Boris_ | oh no | 09:49 |
| HardDisk | Boris_, is it reading the actual drive? | 09:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: have yhou tried booting the alternate install CD? | 09:49 |
| Boris_ | its got128 mb of ram | 09:49 |
| Boris_ | IndyGunFreak, i'll try | 09:49 |
| HardDisk | yea as IndyGunFreak said. | 09:50 |
| bazhang | what about dsl (damn small linux) | 09:50 |
| Boris_ | HardDisk, yes, i can read CDs in widoze | 09:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: well, you'll have to download it, but ti was just a question. | 09:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | !alternate | Boris_ | 09:50 |
| ubotu | Boris_: 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 | 09:50 |
| HardDisk | I'm surprised it doesn't boot puppy. | 09:50 |
| Boglizk | Ubuntu worked on my 192ram. But the graphical installer didn't. | 09:50 |
| travisat | lol I already did to my system what sysop wanted by making a new wm called firefox so now I can boot straight to firefox | 09:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: Boris_ if it doesn't boot puppy, that strongly suggests he's burning the ISO wrong | 09:50 |
| bazhang | perhaps the minimal install would be better--though with only 128 I seriously doubt ubuntu will run at all | 09:50 |
| Boris_ | bazhang, that comp doesnt have interned, but its got 1.2 GB of space, so i wanna make some use of it | 09:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: lol, perhaps? | 09:51 |
| HardDisk | IndyGunFreak, true. | 09:51 |
| Boris_ | IndyGunFreak, I _can_ boot puppy | 09:51 |
| Boris_ | ;) | 09:51 |
| bazhang | Boris_: when you burn the iso, how do you do it | 09:51 |
| HardDisk | you said you couldn't. meh | 09:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: i thought you said you couldn't | 09:51 |
| bazhang | Boris_: geexbox | 09:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: "oh btw, it also wont boot puppy, fedora or anything else" | 09:52 |
| Boris_ | IndyGunFreak, my old comp | 09:52 |
| Boris_ | the comp im currently using can | 09:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: oh ok.. so the iso is good. | 09:52 |
| Boris_ | yep | 09:52 |
| Boris_ | bazhang, im not looking to play vids | 09:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: ok, so you need to look at the text installer, for 1, you don't have enough ram to run the live cd(which was right there on the page you downloaded from) | 09:53 |
| HardDisk | I think some people just come in here to have fun at the expense of others :) | 09:53 |
| bazhang | Boris_: the best I can say is that it can run linux, but ubuntu (gnome) is just not in the cards with that little ram | 09:53 |
| HardDisk | xubuntu alternative is a good choice. | 09:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: thats also a good point.. xfce is even gonna be slow on that machine, might look at fluxbuntu. | 09:54 |
| Boris_ | heck | 09:54 |
| Boris_ | i completely forgot that | 09:55 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: yeah, fluxbuntu might just work | 09:55 |
| Boris_ | ty people | 09:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: i think so.., | 09:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: xfce, has gradually been getting heavier, and heavier, the days of running it on 64mb of Ram, is pretty much over. | 09:55 |
| bazhang | Boris_: #fluxbuntu can give you the scoop | 09:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | *at least under ubuntu | 09:55 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: excellent point | 09:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | flux, englightenment, and the other one i can't remember, have remained true to really working on archaic hardware | 09:56 |
| Boris_ | enlightenment is lightweight ??? | 09:56 |
| Boris_ | i didnt know that | 09:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: to my knowledge, its on par w/ flux.. | 09:57 |
| Boris_ | anyone here got ATI HD2600PRO ? | 09:57 |
| bazhang | Boris_: you might also to want to look into goblinx, slax, or something else uber-light--the best I had running with that little ram was dreamlinux 2.2 (debian based) | 09:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | but I hate Englightment, so i've not used it much... Flux has a strange place in my heart | 09:57 |
| edubu | hm. strange behavior. userlist is disabled by default | 09:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: but wasn't dream based on Breezy repos? the biggest prob i had w/ it, was instaling software, every freakin repo was closed. | 09:58 |
| bazhang | me likes blackbox and open box but !ot | 09:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: you might also want to look at a straight Debian Xfce install | 09:58 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: the earlier versions were but 2.2 became debian | 09:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: hmm, ive got an old old laptop i might see if i can put dream on it just for fun | 09:59 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: I had an eight year old compaq laptop that ran it really well | 09:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: that was the prob i had w/ Dream, every time i tried to install anything, every single repo would be closed(and this was like 9mo ago).. i might have to check it out again | 09:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: is it running on etch repos?.. or one of the others? | 10:00 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: but this was strictly for using for fun; media center kind of thing | 10:00 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: not sure would have to check | 10:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | right.... machine that old, yuou really can't expect to mucfh | 10:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris_: if you can use Dream, adn it is indeed based on Debian, i woudl use it before Flux(little more useable in my opinion) | 10:01 |
| bazhang | Boris_: debian net install would do as well | 10:02 |
| Boris_ | bazhang, that comp aint got any net ! | 10:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: so what do you plan to use it for? | 10:03 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: it is now an ex-computer :{ | 10:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 10:03 |
| bazhang | Boris_: what do you want to do with it? | 10:03 |
| Mr_Awesome | is there a way to get input from the line-in to play directly through the speakers? | 10:04 |
| Boris__ | why does xchat keep crashing on windoze ?! | 10:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Boris__: i'd blame windows | 10:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | since a lot of Linux xchat users haven o problem | 10:05 |
| Boris__ | IndyGunFreak, yep, thats probably the cause of the problem | 10:05 |
| Boris__ | anyways | 10:05 |
| Boris__ | anyone here got ATI HD2600 PRO/XT ??? | 10:05 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | anyone know why iwconfig and network manager show slightly different information? | 10:06 |
| Boris__ | btw, how do i know what video driver im using ? | 10:06 |
| Boris__ | !ultimate | 10:06 |
| ubotu | The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 10:06 |
| bazhang | Tomasu[BAF]: what is different | 10:06 |
| Boris__ | what's ubuntu ultimate's channel ? | 10:06 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | NM shows bw of 62mb/s, and iwcinfig shows 24.. for an older 802.11g card | 10:07 |
| xalanthyr | hello, how can i donwload videos from youtube? | 10:07 |
| HardDisk | xalanthyr, use a firefox extension. | 10:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | xalanthyr: to your hard drive?.. there's a lot of stuff out there if you google. | 10:07 |
| bazhang | Tomasu[BAF]: bw meaning bandwidth? | 10:07 |
| xalanthyr | HardDisk: how it\s it called? | 10:08 |
| peanutwithchocol | does anybody know a good qcad or simailar program tutorial with images (if possible, in spanish)? | 10:08 |
| woodsoul | xalanthyr: unplug a firefox extension | 10:08 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | bazhang: well iwconfig lists it as Bit Rate. | 10:08 |
| bazhang | wireless? | 10:08 |
| HardDisk | xalanthyr, go to the firefox extension download page and search google video there it will give you a list. Use some common sense. | 10:08 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | bazhang: that would be 802.11g :) | 10:08 |
| xalanthyr | IndyGunFreak: i did it many times, but suddenly pytube stopped working | 10:09 |
| bazhang | Tomasu[BAF]: that would likely be the strenght of the signal vs the capability | 10:09 |
| HardDisk | peanutwithchocol, try the how to forge website. | 10:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | xalanthyr: weird, seems to be working fine for me. | 10:09 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | bazhang: strength is listed as a percentage... | 10:09 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | bazhang: the bitrate is the max bw setting. | 10:09 |
| xalanthyr | and youtube-dl gives me "Error: unable to extract URL "t" parameter. | 10:09 |
| xalanthyr | " | 10:09 |
| peanutwithchocol | HardDisk: ok | 10:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | xalanthyr: right. | 10:09 |
| bazhang | Tomasu[BAF]: I would trust the iwconfig over network-manager any day | 10:09 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | j | 10:10 |
| Tomasu[BAF] | thanks.. I'll google some more... | 10:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | xalanthyr: what version of flash are you using? | 10:10 |
| xalanthyr | IndyGunFreak: hmm, how can i check it? | 10:10 |

| HardDisk | note..it says in not out | 10:14 |
| HardDisk | in = input | 10:14 |
| HardDisk | you need line out to play to your speakers | 10:14 |
| HardDisk | not so awesome now are you. | 10:14 |
| Mr_Awesome | HardDisk: im inputting audio, and i want it to play through the speakers... | 10:15 |
| Mr_Awesome | im not plugging my speakers into line in | 10:15 |
| HardDisk | well you should have mentioned that. | 10:15 |
| HardDisk | there are a lot of people that come here and aren't exactly..sensible. | 10:15 |
| Mr_Awesome | sorry, i thought it was clear | 10:15 |
| xalanthyr | i installed downloadhelper - works perfect ;) | 10:15 |
| shirkavand | hello, the ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso is the file i need to run ubuntu in 64 bits on intel base computer? | 10:16 |
| HardDisk | Mr_Awesome, what you need is an app called JACK | 10:16 |
| bazhang | is there not an x86-64 iso? | 10:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: for what? | 10:17 |
| bazhang | amd for intel? | 10:17 |
| shirkavand | intel | 10:17 |
| bazhang | for ubuntu IndyGunFreak | 10:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: of course there is. | 10:17 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: shirkavand was asking if the amd64 is the right one for intel 64 | 10:17 |
| Boris__ | hey bazhang, IndyGunFreak and HardDisk : fluxbuntu won't boot either !!! | 10:18 |
| HardDisk | bazhang, amd64 is for amd64. | 10:18 |
| HardDisk | that is why it's amd64 | 10:18 |
| Boris__ | does this have anything to do with ATAPI cd rom reader ??? | 10:18 |
| bazhang | HardDisk: just rhetorical but thanks :} | 10:18 |
| HardDisk | :) | 10:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | 64bit is a pain int he rear anyways, stick w/ x86 if you don't want to rip your hair out. | 10:18 |
| HardDisk | true. | 10:18 |
| bazhang | shirkavand: did you see the x86_64 iso? | 10:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | *for the time being | 10:19 |
| HardDisk | I don't see anypoint of 64bit as a user. | 10:19 |
| pteague_work | HardDisk> why does it say for amd & intel 64-bit? | 10:19 |
| shirkavand | in ubuntu.com | 10:19 |
| shirkavand | there is a link for download ubuntu | 10:19 |
| shirkavand | and it saids | 10:19 |
| bazhang | shirkavand: for a core 2 duo? | 10:19 |
| shirkavand | What type of computer do you have? | 10:19 |
| HardDisk | pteague, I was being sarcastic, I suppose it's hard on irc. | 10:19 |
| shirkavand | one of the options are | 10:19 |
| shirkavand | 64bit AMD and Intel computers | 10:19 |
| pteague_work | HardDisk> ah =) | 10:19 |
| nelsonuwp | i'm sick of computers | 10:20 |
| bazhang | shirkavand: was that core 2 duo intel? | 10:20 |
| Roly | <3 computerss | 10:20 |
| nelsonuwp | i qui | 10:20 |
| nelsonuwp | t | 10:20 |
| bazhang | iirc core duo alone is not 64 bit | 10:20 |
| HardDisk | there is hardly any improvement of 64bit over 32bit as a desktop. | 10:20 |
| Boris__ | heeeey | 10:20 |
| Roly | yes there is | 10:20 |
| pteague_work | shirkavand> yeah, it should work fine on intel, but you may have issues... i got it installed, but after that i ended up with lots of problems... not sure why, somebody suggested the hard drive, but not sure why the 32bit works fine | 10:20 |
| Boris__ | anyone saw what i wrote ??? | 10:20 |
| bazhang | yes | 10:21 |
| Roly | 64bit allows you to utilise over 3.3GB of RAM | 10:21 |
| Boris__ | bazhang, any ideas ? | 10:21 |
| shirkavand | bazhang: my computer has a core 2 duo intel...but im not sure that if the iso file im downloading is for my processor | 10:21 |
| HardDisk | that still is not an improvement as a desktop. | 10:21 |
| Roly | yes it is | 10:21 |
| Roly | quite obviously? | 10:21 |
| sjoerd | shirkavand: core 2 is 64 bit | 10:21 |
| HardDisk | maybe I should have rephrased, performance. | 10:21 |
| pteague_work | i believe all of the core2 duo are 64bit | 10:21 |
| bazhang | shirkavand: I use the 32 bit for my core 2 duo intel--how much ram does your computer have? | 10:21 |
| HardDisk | no it isn't obvious roly. | 10:21 |
| Roly | yes it it. | 10:21 |
| shirkavand | 2 gb | 10:22 |
| HardDisk | lol, ok :) | 10:22 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| shirkavand | bazhang: 2 GB | 10:22 |
| bazhang | shirkavand: are you going to get 4gb in the near future or do some heavy video compositing with this machine? | 10:22 |
| travisat | shirkavand: unless you have 4+gigs there is no real reason to use 64, it isn't much faster just supports more ram | 10:22 |
| poutine_ | How do I get the maintainer for a package in apt? | 10:22 |
| Roly | ...being able to use 8GB of ram is alot better as a desktop than only being able to use 3GB of ram, thats an OBVIOUS improvement as a desktop? | 10:22 |
| poutine_ | Roly, a lot is two words | 10:22 |
| HardDisk | Roly, no it isn't if you are not utilizing it. | 10:22 |
| bazhang | Roly: you are correct | 10:23 |
| bazhang | Roly: lets just all be friends :} | 10:23 |
| shirkavand | bazhang: ok ;) got it | 10:23 |
| shirkavand | bazhang: thanks | 10:23 |
| Roly | HardDisk but if you get more ram in the future it means you have to re install it as 64 bit? | 10:23 |
| HardDisk | just because you have more ram doesn't mean it is better, unless you are using it. | 10:23 |
| bazhang | shirkavand: you will surprised how nicely it runs :} | 10:23 |
| Roly | which is just stupid, if you can use 64bit now why not already install it straight. | 10:23 |

| Roly | sure | 10:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 10:27 |
| poutine_ | Intel or AMD? | 10:27 |
| Roly | what you use ur pc for is needed to know what OS suits you | 10:27 |
| poutine_ | ATI or Nvidia? | 10:27 |
| Roly | intel and ATI | 10:27 |
| Roly | :) | 10:27 |
| pr0-g33k | nvinda owns | 10:27 |
| jfuirnefjdk | Hmm I have found windows to be pretty reliable, if you know what to not download. It's just far too restrictive and manipulative (make you stupid for company benefit), that ticked me off | 10:28 |

| pr0-g33k | i agree, nvinda and amd own, i have the duel core 6000+ and it runs gusty pritty good | 10:28 |
| ePax | It should be forbidden by law to sell ATI. :D | 10:28 |
| Roly | Q6600, 3xHD3870's pls? | 10:28 |
| pr0-g33k | it should, ati is like fail | 10:28 |
| HardDisk | gonna make some popcorn, brb | 10:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: its always like this around 5-530ish my time... kinda laid back. | 10:28 |
| Roly | ATi owns | 10:29 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: yup | 10:29 |
| Roly | xfire > SLi | 10:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | not that that makes it right. | 10:29 |
| HardDisk | ATI isn't bad. they just have certain issues to fix. | 10:29 |
| bazhang | indeed | 10:29 |
| travisat | ati sucks on linux right now so | 10:29 |
| Mr_Awesome | HardDisk: jack doesnt seem to help | 10:29 |
| Roly | no problems on suse. | 10:29 |
| travisat | lucky you | 10:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | travisat: it should get better thoguh, with AMD taking over, and apparently they are going to release the driver. | 10:29 |
| HardDisk | but for those that don't use linux, ATI is good enough. | 10:29 |
| Roly | amd taking over? | 10:29 |
| Roly | amd is failing | 10:30 |
| travisat | IndyGunFreak: I totally agree, but right now it doesn't work as well as nvidia | 10:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | Roly: AMD purchased ATI | 10:30 |
| bazhang | as soon as flash is fixed ati will release the drivers | 10:30 |
| Roly | yeah | 10:30 |
| HardDisk | AMD overpaid for ATI. | 10:30 |
| Roly | AMD are worth less now that they baught ATi for | 10:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | travisat: yup, for now, Nvidia is where its at. | 10:30 |
| HardDisk | even they admit that. | 10:30 |
| Roly | than* | 10:30 |
| jfuirnefjdk | AMD just wants the gddr technology for use in CPU's | 10:30 |
| HardDisk | but AMD doesn't just make processors, they are involved in many other services, I don't see it as failing. | 10:31 |
| bazhang | any support questions please join #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:31 |
| Roly | its stocks prices are very very low | 10:31 |
| jfuirnefjdk | I'll respect that, bazhang. | 10:31 |
| HardDisk | so are many other stocks. | 10:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | Roly: that would seem to be an opportunity, more than anything | 10:31 |
| HardDisk | the US market is in a recession | 10:32 |
| Roly | Ok then. But AMD vs INTEL in CPUs intel wins almost every time | 10:32 |
| d0gmaz | whats a good binary usenet leecher with nzb support for gnome? | 10:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: not really, the media says we're in a recession, so everyone believes we are | 10:32 |
| travisat | well for servers amd is pretty strong | 10:32 |
| HardDisk | when people believe that, it does happen. | 10:32 |
| fallore | IndyGunFreak: if people believe we're in a recession won't we go into a recession? | 10:32 |
| Roly | brb shower | 10:32 |
| HardDisk | yea you stink. | 10:32 |
| pr0-g33k | i like intel chips, but amd are cheeper, and they are just as good speed wise | 10:33 |
| travisat | meh intel is killing amd in high end desktop chips | 10:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | fallore: true, but the only reason the economy has slowed down, is becasue of the sub-prime mess.. which i don't understand, when you loan money to people, who have a history of not paying their bills, what exactly do you think is going to happen? | 10:33 |
| travisat | at stock speeds intel isn't much faster then amd, but you can push the intels to crazy overclocks | 10:33 |
| fallore | IndyGunFreak: hey, i know nothing about this stuff :] | 10:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | fallore: lol, | 10:34 |

| smidgeyyy | creating new partition should i make the one ubuntu goes on primary and at the end? and the swap logical and at the beginning? | 10:35 |
| travisat | smidgeyyy: not really important | 10:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: thats always been my understanding... but it may not matter | 10:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok, so there you go, doesn't matter | 10:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: so how are you set up now?... | 10:36 |
| revsan | I have compaq laptop with nforce chipset. Using 7.10 ubuntu. Not able to detect ethernet card. How do i configure ethernet card? | 10:36 |
| smidgeyyy | so if the swap and the other one are both primary and at the beginning thats cool?? | 10:36 |
| revsan | nforce 630 | 10:36 |
| pr0-g33k | i highly recommend amd athlon x2 6000+ i have had mine and it has'nt let me down yet | 10:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: hang on a sec | 10:36 |
| smidgeyyy | ok indy | 10:36 |
| bazhang | revsan: are you at the computer now or have access to it? | 10:37 |
| travisat | smidgeyyy: yep, some people say that having root at end decreases read/write times, but most hard drives are fast enough now there is little to no difference | 10:37 |
| === Everget3 is now known as Evergete | ||
| IndyGunFreak | travisat: what i'm trying to remember, is if swap is primary or logical. | 10:38 |
| compwiz18 | smidgeyyy: if you intend to install windows, I believe it prefers to be at the beginning of the disk, otherwise, I think any setup works - I use swap at the end, linux in the middle somewhere | 10:38 |
| revsan | bazhang, yes i am using it now | 10:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | i was thinking logicla for some reason | 10:38 |
| bazhang | revsan open up a terminal and type in lspci | 10:38 |
| smidgeyyy | compwiz windows is already installed.. im putting ubuntu on its own partition.. | 10:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: yeah, so i think what he's saying, is swap should be at the beginning in that instance | 10:39 |
| revsan | bazhang, it shows this line: 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP67 Ethernet (rev a2) | 10:39 |
| travisat | if the installer lets you do it you should have no real problems | 10:40 |
| smidgeyyy | ok will do that.. what about the Primary and Logical partition... whats the difference? | 10:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | travisat: should swap be primary or logical?.. thats my biggest question, nto where he put it. | 10:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | i thought logical.. | 10:40 |
| bazhang | revsan: and the restricted manager does not properly see or at least network manager? what do you get with ifconfig in the terminal | 10:40 |
| compwiz18 | mine is logical, I think | 10:40 |
| what_if | how do I get unrecognised keyboard keys to work? There is no output in xev... | 10:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | compwiz18: so is mine. | 10:41 |

| proxz | have i done something wrong or is really wine in repos still the ancient 0.46 version ? | 10:41 |
| travisat | IndyGunFreak: doesn't matter | 10:41 |
| travisat | logical are just part of extended partitions, if you plan on having more then 4 partitions then you might want swap as logical | 10:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | travisat: doesn't matter whether its logical or primary? | 10:41 |

| bazhang | tenerex: could you pastebin it? | 10:48 |

| Mabloar | it is simple, I was on 6.10 and sound worked well, on 7.04 i lost any sound. Tryed to update, tryed also to follow suggestions found in th | 10:48 |

| tenerex | ok! thanks | 10:49 |
| peanutwithchocol | does anybody know where to download ''the ubuntu book'' freely?? | 10:50 |
| bazhang | copyrighted version peanutwithchocol? | 10:50 |
| compwiz18 | proxz: yeah (i'm on amd64 so something may be different though) | 10:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | !illegal | peanutwithchocol thats pretty clear | 10:50 |

| Ispep1977 | hi, Im completely new to linux and ubuntu, but wonder if someone can help me with 2 problems. 1st. I cant get keyboard to type the "at" i only get ² and 2nd, cant get a graphix driver for my 8800gtx card to work.. Anyone that can help me? | 10:50 |
| nathan__ | irc.lug.org.uk #klug | 10:50 |
| proxz | compwiz18: hmmm ok | 10:51 |
| esteth | Ispep1977: It's not officially supported, and i know "works for me" isn't justification, but an easy way to get the graphics drivers is "envy" | 10:51 |
| compwiz18 | proxz: you did reload (sudo apt-get update) after you added the sources, right? | 10:51 |
| compwiz18 | !envy | 10:51 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 10:51 |
| matisse | !hash | 10:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:52 |
| Ispep1977 | ok, esteth, so i should just search for "linux driver envy" or something? | 10:52 |
| revsan | bazhang, it tries to get network ip address but fails. dhcpcd exits with timeout. | 10:52 |
| bazhang | esteth: please dont recommend that in channel | 10:52 |
| pr0-g33k | im off, got some php coding to do :-) cyas | 10:52 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: did you try the restricted manager yet? | 10:52 |
| esteth | bazhang: Sorry, i'll correct my mistake :( | 10:52 |
| Al2O3_ | I installed 7.10 Ubuntu on a mac mini (using rEFi, and have OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.1 on the HD as well in their own partitions). Boots fine. Have no 1024x768 resolution available as an option to set in Screen Resolution Preferences. Anyone know why this is? | 10:52 |
| bazhang | cya | 10:52 |
| Ispep1977 | have no idea what that is, compwiz18 | 10:52 |
| travisat | the restricted manager works good for a 8800gts | 10:52 |
| peanutwithchocol | ubotu, bazhang, IndyGunFreak: ABSOLUTLY NOT ILLEGAL: there are some online books of ubuntu which are freely (in two senses) (maybe when i said ''the ubuntu book'' you thought the same ''ubuntu book'' of text version???) | 10:52 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: go to System -> Administration and click on Restricted Drivers | 10:52 |
| Ispep1977 | ok i check it out | 10:52 |
| proxz | compwiz18: yeah i did, followed a guide on ubuntu docs page as well, but i need to afk a while now (my daughter needs some food and attention :P ) be back little later | 10:53 |
| esteth | Ispep1977: Sorry. I was unaware the channel did not reccomend it. Please don't use envy. Instead go to System -> Admin -> Restricted Drivers | 10:53 |
| revsan | bazhang, any ways to get it up? | 10:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | peanutwithchocol: then you should have no problem finding them via google. | 10:53 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: there you should see an nvidia card listed, and check the little box, reboot, and have fun | 10:53 |
| Al2O3_ | I have 1024x768 on other operating systems on this hardware no problem. | 10:53 |
| bazhang | peanutwithchocol: thus my question of copyrighted, to which you never answered | 10:53 |
| john_marck | Can anyone help me out with configuring a modem in 7.10? | 10:53 |
| Ispep1977 | oh something is happening, comwiz18 | 10:53 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: what is happening? | 10:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | !anyone | john_marck | 10:53 |
| ubotu | john_marck: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 10:53 |
| travisat | Ispep1977: if you compiled your own kernel, the blob from nividia is the easiest way | 10:53 |
| Ispep1977 | Compwiz18 some package download | 10:54 |
| peanutwithchocol | IndyGunFreak: I found it months ago but i lost the link :P | 10:54 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: yep, they'll download and install, then you'll be prompted to reboot | 10:54 |
| bazhang | revsan: you want to connect wirelessly and wired with the same computer at the same time? is this the same computer that has problems with ethernet now that you are using wireless with? | 10:54 |
| Ispep1977 | ok need to restart the comp it say | 10:54 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: yep, you will | 10:54 |
| Jakoo | Hello I need to know what's the command to remove a folder from usr | 10:54 |
| revsan | bazhang, no it is a wired connection. | 10:55 |
| Cromag | rm -r /usr/foldername | 10:55 |
| john_marck | I'm using a hp 6720 that has red flag linux support but the modem doesn't show up in lspci ( ithink) | 10:55 |
| compwiz18 | Jakoo: be careful deleting stuff in /usr : sudo rm /usr/name-of-folder | 10:55 |
| Jakoo | thank you | 10:55 |
| simion314 | i have 2 ubuntu computers, i set up the 1st one to share the internet with iptables and masquereding and it works if on the 2nd computer i am running ubuntu, but is not working if i run windows xp, i set up the ip to the same static ip like in ubuntu and same gateway. Pleae help i have to make a project and i need windows and internet | 10:55 |
| compwiz18 | Jakoo: sorry, rm -r /usr/name-of-folder | 10:55 |
| bullgard4 | [Gutsy] Is the 'Documentation' folder originally contained in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/ or in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/? | 10:55 |
| revsan | bazhang, i am having problems with the wired connection.. if i connect the same line to a machine running debian it is able to get the address.. | 10:55 |
| Jakoo | yes i have copied it into it its a theme for cairo clock | 10:55 |
| bazhang | revsan: this is a different computer? | 10:55 |
| Ispep1977 | compwiz18; can you help me to get my keyboard to work as well? i have problem with the ² ( at as in blablabla(at)gmail.com f.example | 10:56 |
| compwiz18 | simion314: did you get the netmask right? | 10:56 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: sure, check | 10:56 |
| compwiz18 | !keyboard | Ispep1977 | 10:56 |

| Mabloar | anyone knows how to set an soundcard FM801 to work under 7.10 ? | 10:57 |
| Ispep1977 | havent restarted yet, compwiz18 | 10:57 |
| bazhang | revsan: that is very odd | 10:57 |
| Al2O3_ | ok, is there a way to set manually (not using the popup list) the screen resolution? | 10:57 |
| simion314 | compwiz18: yes, is something on windows, i must set up something else? i set up the ip | 10:57 |
| revsan | revsan, dhcpcd daemon exits with a timeout.. | 10:57 |
| bazhang | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Al2O3_ | 10:57 |
| revsan | bazhang, yes... although i can see the ethernet card its not able to get a ip. | 10:58 |
| Ispep1977 | @@@ woho.. tnx :D now they work.. i had italian layout for some reason... ( im from norway ) hehe | 10:58 |
| compwiz18 | simion314: when you set up the IP on Windows, it should have asked you for the netmask, as well as DNS server IP addresses. Make sure you filled them in correctly | 10:58 |
| Al2O3_ | bazhang: thank you | 10:58 |
| bazhang | no worries | 10:58 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: great :) | 10:58 |
| Ispep1977 | ill restart and test the nvidia driver now, compwiz18 | 10:58 |
| soroush | HOW CAN I SHUTDOWN MY FIREWALL SO OTHERS WILL PING ME? | 10:58 |
| compwiz18 | Ispep1977: ok, if you have any trouble, come back here :) | 10:58 |
| compwiz18 | !caps | soroush | 10:58 |
| ubotu | soroush: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 10:58 |
| compwiz18 | soroush: Ubuntu doesn't have a firewall that blocks pings by default | 10:59 |
| d0gmaz | whats a good binary usenet leecher with nzb support for gnome? | 10:59 |
| simion314 | compwiz18: i why should i place a DNS server if i have static IP, is not enoght the gateway? | 10:59 |
| bazhang | install firestarter and edit iptables soroush | 10:59 |
| * syc_ mohon pamid | 11:00 | |
| soroush | compwiz18, thanks and sorry but others in my network can't ping me | 11:00 |
| bazhang | revsan: no idea how to proceed here--this is beyond anything I have seen before :{ | 11:00 |
| travisat | simion314: a dns server allows for you to go to web pages like www.google.com insted of 195.243.14.2 | 11:00 |
| soroush | bazhang, thanks. i try | 11:00 |
| travisat | simion314: it links the wep pages names to its actual ip address or addresses | 11:00 |
| compwiz18 | simion314: you have to enter the dns server IPs, otherwise your ocmputer will not allow you to use domain names to access websites | 11:00 |
| bazhang | peanutwithchocol: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=493780 | 11:01 |
| soroush | bazhang, firestarter isn't available in synaptic | 11:01 |
| compwiz18 | soroush: you have all the network settings such as netmask, ip, etc correct? | 11:01 |
| bazhang | soroush: do you have the repos enabled? | 11:02 |
| Jakoo | thank you compwiz....done | 11:02 |
| simion314 | compwiz18: ok thx, in ubuntu i do not remember setting up the dns server, so i do not set one in windows thx | 11:02 |
| * syc_ wassalamualaikum wr wb | 11:02 | |
| Al2O3_ | bazhang: and then do I need to restart the xserver/windowserver? | 11:02 |
| compwiz18 | simion314: you got it working? | 11:02 |
| Al2O3_ | btw, nice simple interface to hardware configuration specification :) | 11:02 |
| simion314 | compwiz18 i am in ubuntu now | 11:02 |
| Jakoo | rm= remove i suppose | 11:02 |
| compwiz18 | simion314: I don't know why you wouldn't have to set one in Ubuntu... it should work the same way | 11:02 |
| revsan | bazhang, any idea why dhcp times out? | 11:03 |
| bazhang | did you save the settings you wanted Al2O3_? I believe a logout/log in is in order | 11:03 |
| Al2O3_ | yes. | 11:03 |
| Gamekiller | i just asked this in the server channel but dose the ubuntu community have a harding guide to ubuntu as dose my old distro i was on | 11:03 |
| Al2O3_ | ok, trying that now. | 11:03 |
| Al2O3_ | actually, restarting by accident :) | 11:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: did it install ok? | 11:03 |
| compwiz18 | Jakoo: correct, and -r removes recursively | 11:03 |
| Al2O3_ | nice to have 10.4, 10.5 and Ubuntu all on one machine. | 11:04 |
| soroush | bazhang, ifconfig says my ip is 100.100.100.119 and i'm in a wireless network so my friends expect to see me. I have files pinged and samba is configured well so worked before and ifcoonfig says : inet addr:100.100.100.119 Bcast:100.100.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 | 11:04 |
| soroush | compwiz, what do you think of this | 11:04 |
| soroush | ? | 11:04 |
| simion314 | compwiz18 maube it was set previously and it worked, i have problems fith nfs too, i can't share files, the 1'st computer do not see itself in places->network, i had share files in unix and in windows mode, i prefer using unix NFS and install nfs on windows insted of samba | 11:05 |
| peanutwithchocol | bazhang: thank you very much | 11:05 |
| Al2O3_ | very very slick, 7.10 is a nice easy experience for sure. | 11:05 |
| soroush | I can ping my friend and it's interesting his ip begins with 81 | 11:05 |
| bazhang | no worries | 11:05 |
| Al2O3_ | and this channel is packed full of goodness, people and immediate answers. | 11:05 |
| jqk | soroush: That's WAN IP, and certainly not LAN ip. | 11:05 |
| Al2O3_ | bazhang: you deserve bonus bucks for your efforts. | 11:05 |
| bazhang | haha | 11:06 |
| soroush | jqk, how can i find my lan ip? | 11:06 |
| * Al2O3_ sends bazhang some money. | 11:06 | |
| bazhang | 0+0=0 :} | 11:06 |
| Al2O3_ | if you have pp account, I will send you 5 bucks for your time, you just saved me a lot of money and hassle :) | 11:06 |
| jqk | soroush: LAN ip or WAN ip? | 11:06 |
| compwiz18 | simion314: as jqk says, your ip should probably start with 192.168, 172., or 10. if you're on a lan (somebody correct me if i'm wrong there) | 11:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Al2O3_: not always immediate. | 11:06 |
| soroush | jqk, wan ip | 11:07 |
| jqk | soroush: www.whatismyip.com | 11:07 |
| Al2O3_ | IndyGunFreak: well, felt immediate here for my dumb arse question. | 11:07 |
| revsan | bazhang, is there no way i can fix this? | 11:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | Al2O3_: lol | 11:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | works out like that sometimes | 11:07 |
| soroush | jqk, thanks | 11:07 |
| Badger-Deb | Hm, how do you quit X? | 11:07 |
| Gamekiller | Al2O3_: i used a lot of distros and 7.10 so fare is the easyest as this comes from old school gentoo supporter no ubuntu | 11:07 |
| compwiz18 | jqk: if your on a wan, then your netmask shouldn't be 255.255.255.0, I'm thinking, jqk? | 11:07 |
| bazhang | revsan: I'm not a networking guru--that ethernet should just connect and it works in debian as you say--so (and this is via network manager or cli) not sure what to do here | 11:07 |
| jqk | compwiz18: Your correct, but not the whole 172, and 10 range. | 11:08 |
| simion314 | compwiz18: my ip are 192.168.0... | 11:08 |
| bazhang | revsan: no, not saying that, just have to figure it out--would be easier with the computer in front of me haha | 11:08 |
| Al2O3_ | Gamekiller: took me with some reading online about 20 mins to get Ubuntu dl'ed, burned and my machine installed with rEFIn for macosx, and installed and here :) Can't beat that, and about 3 mnis to get the resolution thing fixed. | 11:08 |
| Al2O3_ | I'm happy. Distros until now, for me have always been a huge headache. | 11:08 |
| Al2O3_ | started with RH 5 or something like that years ago in 1999 | 11:08 |
| Al2O3_ | gave up and went beos and then os x. Now I need to dev and test software in GNUstep, decided to use ubuntu, and so here we are :) | 11:09 |
| soroush | jqk, that ip isn't my ip in network. it is http://81.31.170.50/ | 11:09 |
| Badger-Deb | Could anyone tell me how to quit X? | 11:09 |
| jqk | compwiz18: Your correct, but not the whole 172, range. .. 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x to be specific. | 11:09 |
| Gamekiller | gentoo would take me 4 days to get a working gui and 48 hours for working os | 11:09 |
| soroush | jqk, iwant my ip in the local wireless network | 11:09 |
| jqk | Badger-Deb: /etc/init.d/gdm stop , iirc. | 11:09 |
| bazhang | Badger-Deb: you want the command line of just restart x | 11:10 |
| Al2O3_ | Gamekiller: yah, I don't have that kind of time to kill any more. | 11:10 |
| bazhang | or * | 11:10 |
| simion314 | compwiz18: i read a good how to install all nfs components and edit all configuration , when i am tring to mount a file from 1 to 2 i get a time out error and when i try to mount from 2 to 1 i get a connection denied error, as i said the computer no 1 do not sees itself in the network | 11:10 |
| Al2O3_ | I remember out of box RH 5 took me days to get working. | 11:10 |
| jqk | soroush: you said wan ip, heh >> [15:07:18] <soroush> jqk, wan ip | 11:10 |
| Gamekiller | same here | 11:10 |
| soroush | jqk, http://81.31.170.50/ is a valid ip so you might can see it. it is http://che.sharif.edu | 11:10 |
| Gamekiller | yup remeber | 11:10 |
| Badger-Deb | bazhang, need me some bash, to install an nvidia driver | 11:10 |
| soroush | jqk, oh. sorry. so how can i find my lan ip | 11:10 |
| soroush | i took it wrong | 11:10 |
| Al2O3_ | very slick, pleased with what I see. Updating now, two click experience, 185 packages on startup :) | 11:10 |
| Gamekiller | i had a 6.0 box as my ip masqurade bose for my DSL when it firest beta release out in cali | 11:11 |
| bazhang | Badger-Deb: wget or from the repos? | 11:11 |
| Gamekiller | RH 6 | 11:11 |
| jqk | simion314: your ip can be 192.168.0, 192.168.1, 192.168.2 etc, depending on what router you got. | 11:11 |
| bazhang | all these ip addresses have my head spinning | 11:11 |
| Badger-Deb | bazhang, I got it from their website | 11:11 |
| simion314 | jqk i have 2 networck cards on computer number 1 | 11:12 |
| bazhang | Badger-Deb: you seen the nvidia link on how to do it? | 11:12 |
| Badger-Deb | bazhang, I've looked at their readme, but it just says "quit X and do it" | 11:12 |
| jqk | simion314: you can fill up your PCI slot with network card, if you want :) . | 11:13 |
| bazhang | !nvidia | Badger-Deb also ubuntuforums has something on this--I'm not really knowledgeable about video cards | 11:13 |

| bullgard4 | What is the reason that on one of my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop computers runs hald while on the other not? | 11:14 |
| Badger-Deb | thanks bazhang | 11:14 |
| jqk | bullgard4: hald? | 11:14 |
| bullgard4 | jqk: yes. | 11:15 |
| simion314 | jqk yes and it works, but i can share files betwen computers, i can share internet and ping but in my computer no 2 it sees itself on network and computer 1 do not see itself on network, i belive i can solve this if i find out why computer no 1 do not sees itself on places->networck | 11:15 |
| jqk | bullgard4: what is hald? | 11:15 |
| HardDisk | hardware layer | 11:15 |
| bullgard4 | jqk: hardware abstraction layer demon | 11:15 |
| bazhang | Badger-Deb: also ars-geek has how to do it from the repos if you wish: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3311 | 11:16 |
| jqk | daemon * | 11:16 |
| jqk | ah | 11:16 |
| jqk | simion314: is the NIC card supported, linux-compatible? | 11:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | DreamLinux is the best looking Xfce Desktop i've ever seen | 11:17 |
| HardDisk | wait for mint's edition :) | 11:17 |
| HardDisk | they're doing xfce as well | 11:17 |
| simion314 | jqk: yes, i do not install the driver myself, it worked ok, | 11:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: thats probably true, they usually do retty good on the GUI thing. | 11:18 |
| HardDisk | I've applied to be in their development team | 11:18 |
| bazhang | /dreamlinux/xubuntu IndyGunFreak :} | 11:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: dream.. its nice.. by the way, it uses Etch repos. | 11:18 |
| bazhang | nice to know thanks IndyGunFreak | 11:18 |
| HardDisk | and don't get confused since mint is going to eventually be chartered away from ubuntu since they are doing a debian edition as well | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | i had to try it when you said it wasn't based on breezy anymore..lol, i might stick it on som eold equipment i have. | 11:19 |
| HardDisk | the only thing common will be the shared repo's eventually. | 11:19 |
| jqk | What package manager does dreamlinux use? | 11:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: almost how it is now. | 11:19 |
| HardDisk | true | 11:19 |
| bazhang | apt jqk | 11:20 |
| jqk | Sweet. | 11:20 |
| jqk | Gotta try it ::) | 11:20 |
| bazhang | but again waaaay offtopic | 11:20 |
| jqk | It's even got the Mac-like-dock ::) | 11:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: did you get installed ok, or is it still installing? | 11:20 |
| HardDisk | since it's based off debian, dreamlinux will use apt. | 11:20 |
| HardDisk | cause yum with .deb isn't going to happen :) | 11:20 |
| HardDisk | jqk, you can do that yourself with awn. | 11:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | HardDisk: and it shouldn't hapen...lol | 11:21 |
| smidgeyyy | hey indy.. its installed now mate.. | 11:21 |
| smidgeyyy | looks tops | 11:21 |
| jqk | Let me rephrase that .. by default, iirc. | 11:21 |

| Kodge | Heya guys, whats the terminal command I need so I can get into the visual effects options in ubuntu 7.10? | 11:21 |
| HardDisk | jqk, why by default? not everyone wants a mac looking OS | 11:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | yum isn't worthy to carry ubuntu's jockstrap | 11:21 |
| HardDisk | true. | 11:22 |
| bazhang | Kodge: you need to install ccsm | 11:22 |
| jqk | HardDisk: ayup, just saying it. | 11:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: ok, well, 1 thing at a time, you said this is an older PC, so it should be fairly easy to setup. | 11:22 |
| Kodge | Bazhang: Whats that then? | 11:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: what kind of video? | 11:22 |
| smidgeyyy | nvidia quador 135 nvs | 11:22 |
| smidgeyyy | i have a dell d630 | 11:23 |
| smidgeyyy | wouldnt say its old | 11:23 |
| bazhang | Kodge: once you have compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) installed then alt-f2 compiz --replace assuming your card is properly enabled | 11:23 |
| smidgeyyy | laptop that is | 11:23 |
| bazhang | back in a moment.. | 11:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | smidgeyyy: are you sure the video device isn't set up?... go to System/Admin/Restricted Drivers | 11:23 |

| smidgeyyy | nvida accelerate graphics driver (latest cards) not in use | 11:24 |

| gvsa123 | rsk: so what are the minimum gpu requirements to run the effects? | 11:40 |
| bazhang | yassin: yes! it is | 11:40 |
| bazhang | gvsa123: what card do you have | 11:40 |
| boris | gvsa123, you should be able to run them im you got ATI Radeon 9550 or newer | 11:40 |
| rsk | gvsa123: nvidia or ati is fine also some intel inbuilt can run it | 11:40 |
| boris | well | 11:40 |
| boris | that was my experience | 11:40 |
| yassin | bazhang: I've been using rtorrent, but I think I'll switch to deluge. Looks pretty much like utorrent | 11:40 |
| bazhang | yassin: it is very nice | 11:41 |
| boris | gvsa123, what video card you got ? | 11:41 |
| gvsa123 | i know it won't work with this machine... i have a compaq presario 2720us where i'd like to try it out... i believe it's an ati radeon with some m8 something chipset | 11:41 |
| gvsa123 | and i believe it has 8MB of video memory | 11:42 |
| boris | gvsa123, what ati radeon ? | 11:42 |
| boris | i think it CAN run it | 11:42 |
| boris | i might be wrong | 11:42 |
| boris | but you probably wont be able to use blur effect | 11:42 |
| gvsa123 | wait i'll get it... it's still on xp though... | 11:42 |
| boris | IMO | 11:42 |
| bazhang | gvsa123: that should do--I had a compaq presario 1000 series that could dot it with an ancient ati card--bit laggy though | 11:42 |

| Seveas | bazhang, it's not -- it's trying a recorded lease | 12:31 |
| Seveas | wang_, are you sure the dhcp server is listening? | 12:31 |
| wang_ | ehh | 12:32 |
| bazhang | thanks Seveas! | 12:32 |

| Enselic | Is there a way for me at machine A to log into machine B over the internet, using a secure SSH:d VNC Server/Client, and the people at B should be able to see what I do? | 12:32 |
| Seveas | wang_, dhclient requests an IP address from a DHCP server. If that server is not working you see what you are seeing now | 12:32 |
| Dr_willis | Enselic, they can run a vncviewer app on the local machine and watch/connect to the vncserver you run - is one way. | 12:33 |
| Seveas | Enselic, kill your local vino-server, run ssh -L5900:localhost:5900 some.where.else.com and then run vncviewer localhost in another shell | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | Enselic, you can set up ssh tunnles to get to the thing encrypted with vnc. | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | like Seveas is saying. :) | 12:34 |
| * Seveas uses vnc like that to check my home machines from work :) | 12:34 | |

| Dr_willis | google for os-x ext3 support ? | 12:35 |
| Seveas | rsk, I beleive it's #apple or ##apple :) | 12:35 |
| Enselic | Seveas: cool, and that will make the people at B be able to see what I do? | 12:35 |
| branstrom | I figured more people here would know technical stuff than people in mac channels, but yeah | 12:35 |
| compwiz18 | elmnas: more description would be helpful :) | 12:35 |

| Seveas | wang_, as I told you already, check whether the dhcp server is working properly and listening on the wlan interface. check its log to see if it ran out of addresses. And don't repeat | 12:59 |
| wang_ | seveas it is | 13:00 |

| ardchoille | I have nvidia graphics driver running in Ubuntu 7.10. When I check "Normal" in Visual Effects, I lose my window borders. What's up? | 13:01 |
| Seveas | wang_, check the dhcp server logs to see whether it receives the incoming packets | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, sounds like compiz is quitting but metacity is not running. hit alt-f2 and run 'metacity --replace' | 13:01 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: Well, selecting "none" fixes the problem | 13:02 |
| wang_ | Seveas other question isn t the gateway 255.255.255.0 ? cause there its 255.255.255.255 | 13:02 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: Oh, is that a compiz thing? | 13:02 |
| Seveas | wang_, gateway should be 192.168.something in your case | 13:02 |
| Seveas | wang_, 255.255.255.0 is the subnet | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, yes those settings select a default set of compiz features | 13:02 |
| kFj | hi. i just installed the ubuntu-server core, and linux-generic linux kernel.. is there a "howto" somewhere as what to install etc to build a desktopsystem from that?(dont want all the stuff that comes preinstalled with the regular install.. want a clean system) | 13:03 |
| wang_ | Seveas sorry meant subnet | 13:03 |
| net_ | hello | 13:04 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: ok, how do I get the proper apps running when I select "Normal"? | 13:04 |
| wang_ | Seveas it doesn t seem like it doesn t recieve a package | 13:05 |

| Seveas | bkar you'll need the -L command line option, if you say what exactly you want I can tell you the complete commandline | 13:36 |
| chazco | !root | 13:37 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:37 |

| chazco | Is that a global find/replace? Afaik only only occurance needs changing (not too good with sed myself:D) | 13:56 |
| Seveas | Ax-Ax, system->preferences->keyboard | 13:56 |
| Seveas | Ax-Ax, and I think you mean Dvorak :) | 13:56 |
| XiXaQ | !flash | 13:56 |
| Seveas | chazco, it is global | 13:56 |
| 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 | 13:56 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 13:56 |
| Seveas | chazco, but that file will have only one occurance of that string | 13:56 |
| chazco | It has several, i just checked | 13:56 |
| Seveas | ah | 13:56 |
| chazco | On a totally clean install, its the second one that needs changing | 13:57 |
| mxc | quick question, how decent is firefox/java applet support in 7.10 | 13:57 |
| mxc | its my one concern | 13:57 |
| rsk | mcp: perfect | 13:57 |
| Seveas | chazco, no, the first one. You don't want to change it for the cgi-bin :) | 13:57 |
| chazco | Its not for cgi... in mine it lists / , /var/www, then cgi bin etc | 13:57 |
| Seveas | chazco, mine's not a fresh one, hang one while I grab one | 13:58 |
| chazco | Its mainly for a testing server, so global enabling shouldnt be a massive issue, but even so... | 13:58 |
| Ax-Ax | Seveas, no, I mean the swedish verison of dvórak: svórak | 13:58 |
| crashanddie | Anyone ever had any problems with bluetooth ? My device shows up in hcitool dev, but it doesn't find any devices when I try to scan... Any help is appreciated | 13:58 |
| _moro_bana_ | pan__ are you still there | 13:59 |
| pan__ | yes | 13:59 |

| Seveas | (forget the .dpkg-dist) | 14:01 |
| chazco | Sorry to be a pest but would you mind explaining how it works? (the first bit)? | 14:01 |
| chazco | Then i can learn :) | 14:01 |
| === iyan is now known as cE_17_ | ||
| pan__ | <crashanddie> try setting your computer to be visible | 14:01 |
| Seveas | chazco, the 12 means 'only on line 12', s/.../../ is the replacement and -i (which should be placed in front of the filename) means change in place | 14:01 |
| chazco | Ah, line 12... was thinking it mean occurances or something :) Thanks :) | 14:02 |
| crashanddie | pan__, my bluetooth device (internal, laptop) is recognized, so when I run hcitool dev, I get the mac address of my BT adapter, though, when I try to scan for BT devices (hcitool scan), nothing shows up. Also, even though the icon in gnome says the "device is set to visible", none of my devices (nokia n810 internet tablet, 3 different cell phones) see my laptop | 14:02 |
| _moro_bana_ | pan__ syslinux -f/dev/sdc1 gives me something like this < Usage: syslinux [-sf][-d directory][-o offset] device> | 14:02 |
| Seveas | chazco, yeah, you can also specify 'the second occurence' with more sed magic, but my sed-fu isn't that good yet :) | 14:02 |
| chazco | Heh, mine isnt even that close :) | 14:02 |
| pan__ | <_moro_bana_> try sudo syslinux.......... | 14:03 |

| crashanddie | pan__, yeah | 14:05 |
| Seveas | the /\/var\/www/,+3 says 'look at the line with /var/www in it and the next 3' | 14:05 |
| ctothej | astro76: it only gives me 25 and 50. When I use the controls in the nautilus window, it gives me a 33% minimum... | 14:05 |
| chazco | Seveas - I see what you mean :D Interesting stuff :) | 14:05 |
| pan__ | so it should have a separate button to enable the bluetooth device | 14:05 |
| chazco | Will look at both, thanks for the help :) | 14:06 |
| _moro_bana_ | tz34534: then it says no such file exists | 14:06 |
| Seveas | np | 14:06 |
| emma | Seveas -- Interesting. I just for the first time in my life today saw /var/www on my computer. Can you say what that's about? | 14:06 |
| crashanddie | pan__, not that I'm aware of... | 14:06 |
| Seveas | emma, it is -- irclogs.ubuntu.com | 14:06 |
| astro76 | ctothej: that should have been your first question then? | 14:06 |
| rndn | So, I have ubuntu installed on a non-raid drive, which I have the bios set to be first in the disk-order. I have two sata drives in a raid1 array. I can't seem to find a root=/dev/?? setting that the kernel will not panic on, and it does not show any devices in the "available partitions" listing. In general, I get the grub menu, and the kernel loads then panics when it tries to find root | 14:06 |
| pan__ | crashanddie> well every laptop i've seen has one | 14:06 |
| emma | Seveas -- Last night I tried to install Apache, and this morning when I http://localhost/ it goes to some page and it says something about /var/www | 14:06 |
| ctothej | astro76: heh, yah, probably... | 14:06 |
| pan__ | crashanddie> so you can save power | 14:07 |
| Seveas | emma, what does it say exactly? | 14:07 |
| Aleksander-pl | Hello. What applications can I use to crop .avi files - I mead cut off first 10 minutes and last 4 minutes | 14:07 |
| pan__ | crashanddie> disabling wireless and bluetooth | 14:07 |
| Aleksander-pl | ? | 14:07 |
| Aleksander-pl | mean* | 14:07 |
| chazco | Ah, Seveas - on mine the second wont work, because /var/www occurs once before that | 14:07 |
| rndn | I've been working on this for a month now but have had to stay in XP because it's the only thing that boots :( | 14:07 |
| astro76 | ctothej: you're right, it's not there, perhaps something in gconf-editor | 14:07 |
| emma | Seveas -- I think it should say in the topic that this channel is being logged publicly. Don't you? Is there anything to be concerned about that everyone here is being recorded? | 14:07 |
| emma | It makes me feel a little self conscious. | 14:07 |
| chazco | Hidden away near the top (document root bit) | 14:07 |
| crashanddie | pan__, I can disable wireless, but I don't see a bluetooth shortcut, I'll google a bit | 14:07 |
| Seveas | emma, this is the internet, everything you say can and will be used against you :) | 14:08 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 14:08 |
| pan__ | crashanddie> often wireless and bluetooth have the same button | 14:08 |
| rndn | are the hd0, hd1, etc. things, which grub uses, useful after grub gets the kernel loading? | 14:08 |
| emma | But it should say in the topic that this channel is being logged publicly. | 14:08 |
| ctothej | astro76: it seems that it will default to 33% even though the setting is at 25%... seems like 33% is the minimum it will go. | 14:08 |
| rndn | does mapping affect the linux kernel once it's loaded? | 14:08 |
| Seveas | chazco, yeah, use 'Directory \/var\/www' instead :) | 14:08 |
| crashanddie | pan__, I'm connected through wireless... Wouldn't that imply my bluetooth is on too, then ? | 14:08 |
| chazco | heh :) | 14:08 |
| pan__ | crashanddie> coud be then | 14:09 |
| crashanddie | pan__, I'll disable wireless, and just re-enable it afterwards, unevano | 14:09 |
| chazco | so sed -e '/Directory \/var\/www/,+3s/Al...... | 14:09 |
| chazco | ? | 14:09 |
| Genius314 | I changed a monitor setting, and now the screen is completely messed up... | 14:09 |
| Seveas | chazco, I think we can do even better than that :) | 14:09 |
| astro76 | ctothej: hmm ok... if you want to investigate the two keys are /apps/nautilus/icon_view/default_zoom_level and /apps/nautilus/list_view/default_zoom_level | 14:09 |
| emma | Seveas -- this is what it says - The DocumentRoot, which is the directory under which all your HTML files should exist, is set to /var/www. | 14:09 |
| ctothej | astro76: cool, ill check that out | 14:10 |
| emma | Can you explain what that means? | 14:10 |
| crashanddie | well, that didn't do it... | 14:10 |
| Seveas | chazco, sed -e '/<Directory \/var\/www\/>/,/<\/Directory>/s/AllowOverride None/AllowOverride All/' -i /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 14:10 |
| Seveas | aka, from the <Directory /var/www/> tag up to </Directory> :) | 14:10 |
| chazco | That looks evil :D | 14:10 |
| Seveas | it is -- sed is lovely | 14:11 |
| chazco | WIll backup and test that one :) | 14:11 |
| Seveas | chazco, if you don't use -i, the corrected contents will be printed to stdout :) | 14:11 |
| chazco | Yep, trying it like that :) | 14:11 |
| ardchoille | Seveas: Wouldnt that replace <Directory \ with var/ ? | 14:11 |
| Seveas | ardchoille, no | 14:12 |
| astro76 | ardchoille: \ escapes the / | 14:12 |
| Seveas | ardchoille, the first 2 matches are addresses, only then comes the s command, the match and the replacement | 14:12 |
| mar77i | hi one more time I'm needing somebody to support me... anyone keen on installing wlan hardware that is shown w/ lspci but not iwconfig? | 14:12 |

| ardchoille | astro76: Ah, learned something new, thanks :) | 14:13 |
| rndn | I hate linux now! | 14:13 |

| mar77i | bcm5787 | 14:13 |
| rndn | Is God trying to tell me to just stick in Windows -- since I have my laptop in Ubuntu? | 14:13 |
| rndn | and this desktop should stay in Windows so I can use windows programs here? | 14:14 |
| Seveas | 5787? isn't that a wired chip? | 14:14 |
| tetzke9 | Hey how can i record my screen? | 14:14 |

| pan__ | rndn what's the problem? | 14:14 |
| spydon | tetzke9, you can record it with VLC too | 14:14 |
| astro76 | Genius314: do you need help recovering? | 14:14 |
| mar77i | Seveas: ahm actually its broadcom bcm5787m built in my laptop | 14:14 |
| Seveas | Genius314, the screens and graphics thing saves backups in /etc/X11/ | 14:14 |
| Genius314 | astro76 Yeah | 14:15 |
| rndn | rsk, I have one linux machine (my laptop), and this desktop system's stayed in XP since I could never get dual-boot working. | 14:15 |
| tetzke9 | spydon: how? i have VLC | 14:15 |
| Genius314 | Seveas: Where in /etc/X11? | 14:15 |
| spydon | tetzke9, http://www.scribd.com/doc/25400/Video-Recording-with-VLC | 14:15 |
| rndn | The problem is that grub menu comes up, and it'll load the kernel, but the kernel panics and can't mount the root= filesystem | 14:15 |
| Genius314 | Seveas: Is it a specific file or something? | 14:15 |
| rndn | there are 3 drives in the system. 2 of them are a raid1 mirror with xp on it, and the other one is a single drive with linux on it. I can boot XP fine with grub by mapping (hd0) (hd1), and (hd1) (hd0).. but I can't get ubuntu to boot at all with grub. | 14:16 |
| rndn | I've tried root=/dev/hda1 root=/dev/hda2 root=/dev/sda1 etc. | 14:17 |
| rndn | hm.. what # do those drive partitions start at? | 14:17 |

| kel39_ | guys.. ive got trouble, couldnt anyone be able to help me? I cant start a live cd on my old pc, cuz monitor is kinda flickering even if i go safe mode option :( can i specify anything to lower the res. or maybe refresh rate or some? anyone? | 14:22 |
| mar77i | Seveas: i'm back at the g33king | 14:23 |
| KalEl | install latest version of the linux kernel, i want to | 14:23 |
| rico | hey, how can i disable compiz via the commandline? | 14:23 |
| ravennium | well, something is wrong in getting the IP. when there are no security modules (wpa wep) everything seems to work. Now when I set either wpa or wap, I can't get to network. | 14:23 |
| ravennium | But | 14:23 |
| KalEl | do it with ubuntu automatically, can i? | 14:24 |
| ravennium | when I put in the cable and go to the dsl box settings I can see that one client is using wlan, and it shows an IP for | 14:24 |

| pan__ | one good deed a day keeps microsoft away | 14:24 |
| bkar | ravennium-> i can only assist you as far as no usage of wep/wpa/wpa2, if you choose encryption, no can do for me on that | 14:24 |
| ravennium | ok | 14:25 |
| fladd | has anyone an idea in my issue? | 14:25 |
| astro76 | kel39_: I'd try the alternate install cd | 14:25 |
| ravennium | and this knetworkmanager has either major bug or badly failing features... :( | 14:25 |
| KalEl | install linux 2.6.24, how? | 14:25 |
| bkar | ravennium-> btw, what you see on your AP/router are history of client that connected | 14:26 |
| bkar | ravennium-> i dont think, so, usage of encryption is a black art | 14:26 |
| Seveas | KalEl, if you don't know how to, then don't :) | 14:26 |
| ravennium | maybe... but i don't want to share my ethernet disks to my neighbours | 14:27 |
| ravennium | :D | 14:27 |
| KalEl | but better cpu management with amd x64, it supports | 14:27 |
| Seveas | KalEl, it also doesn't speak like yoda... | 14:27 |
| th0r | ravennium you know, instead of using encryption you could use mac address filtering. | 14:28 |
| ravennium | way too easy to crack | 14:29 |
| bkar | ravennium-> there are other ways, would it make you happier if you knew your neighbor's hair turned gray because his attempt to use your ap and he is frustrated? | 14:29 |
| kel39_ | astro76: euhm, thank you very mutch for this advice, thats exactly what i did, and it was good, but now this pc moves to my mother so.. i tough i would put Mint on it, so im back to same trouble agane, and i would like finaly to find some command or way, to specify it, and run off live cd. U see.. :) | 14:29 |
| ravennium | it would make me happier if this darn thing just worked, like it says in the knetworkmanagers web pages | 14:30 |
| bkar | ravennium-> it works, just doesnt guarantee encryption black art | 14:30 |
| ravennium | :D | 14:30 |
| ravennium | ok | 14:30 |
| ravennium | how can one turn it back to auto setting | 14:31 |
| ravennium | ? | 14:31 |
| ravennium | any ideas | 14:31 |
| astro76 | kel39_: well I don't know we don't deal with mint, you should just keep her on Ubuntu | 14:31 |
| bkar | !enter > ravennium | 14:31 |
| brobostigon | well for me, on my wifi, the ecryption just worked straight out, i didnt have to do anything, it just worked, | 14:31 |
| ravennium | ? | 14:32 |
| bkar | ravennium-> what is auto setting? what do you mean? | 14:32 |
| ravennium | I mean the mode that knetworkmanager is in when u put in the live cd | 14:32 |
| ravennium | and in first boot | 14:32 |
| ravennium | it searches every wlan's | 14:33 |
| === pan__ is now known as mo0n_sniper | ||

| Whyvas | Can anyone help me? I have a mild rectal itch? which distro would best suit my needs for cleaning | 14:33 |
| ravennium | now I wanted it to connect straight to my wlan and decided to press "manual configuration"... and there's no way (that I can find or guess) how to get back to the "automatic" mode | 14:34 |
| th0r | Whyvas you would probably want windows vista for that...it is self-inserting | 14:34 |
| larson9999 | Whyvas, any version of windows but vista is best for that. | 14:34 |
| kel39_ | astro76: i expected this respond :) i like myself ubuntu more, but for her i think its gonna be more comfortable on mints way of gui :) | 14:34 |
| rsk | larson9999: don't troll | 14:35 |
| rsk | Whyvas: cleaning ? | 14:35 |

| Al2O3_ | hi, trying to build WindowMaker for ubuntu. Getting error about not having X installed, which fo course is impossible since I'm using it right now as part of the window environment. Says 'configure: error: The path for the X11 files not found! | 14:40 |
| bkar | ravennium-> you see an the iso or is it bunch of files and folders? | 14:40 |
| ravennium | bkar, what u mean with cd to it? | 14:40 |
| bkar | ravennium-> cd == change directory | 14:41 |

| ubotu | Aquahallic read this, and if really want the file manager as root do 'gksudo nautilus': sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 15:03 |
| bkar | Aquahallic-> sudo in command line, or if you use gui gksudo | 15:03 |

| Tatster | it's now an empty panel with arrows at either end - but doesn't show open apps | 15:11 |
| jrib | Tatster: right click on a panel -> add to panel, depending on what you mean, you want either "notification area" or "window list" | 15:11 |
| astro76 | Tatster: right click, add to panel..., add the Window Selector | 15:11 |
| astro76 | sorry Window List | 15:12 |

| idefix | LjL I got my printer working with the old ubuntu, now I'm trying to trace my steps http://members.home.nl/v.vanbruchem/printinginlinux.html | 15:16 |

| wers | how do I use setpwc? :D | 15:17 |
| LjL | idefix: dapper however *is* still supported | 15:17 |
| adam | bkar: can I use the wlan device like regular ethernet devices? /etc/init.d/network restart, and so on? | 15:17 |
| === hfsdo_ is now known as hfsdo | ||
| LjL | idefix: pastebin the contents of every /etc/udev/permission* file you have | 15:17 |
| bkar | adam-> yes, if you look at the script network you'd see it uses the interfaces file | 15:18 |
| pkundu | whats the problem with tracker in 7.10 | 15:18 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: is this linuxmint? ubuntu live cd asks for no password | 15:18 |
| idefix | LjL what syntax? | 15:18 |
| pkundu | it seems to be eating all cpu and mem sometimes | 15:18 |
| jrib | __VIO__: did you verify the integrity of the cd? | 15:18 |
| LjL | idefix: doesn't matter, leave empty | 15:19 |
| adam | bkar: I know all this, I just can't make it work with wlan devices | 15:19 |
| Manon | Hello! I need some help with setting up my Audio Driver in ubuntu... Can somebody help me out here? | 15:19 |
| bkar | adam pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces | 15:19 |
| pkundu | did anyone facing problem with trackerd in 7.10 | 15:19 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: its the live cd that i downloaded. | 15:19 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: yes but which one is the question | 15:19 |
| idefix | LjL http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53567/ | 15:19 |
| adam | bkar: iface eth0 inet dhcp, and of course the loopback above that | 15:20 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso | 15:20 |
| bkar | adam pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces | 15:20 |
| adam | bkar: it's only that line plus loopback | 15:20 |
| bkar | adam-> then your wlan has not been configured in yet | 15:20 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: I am looking at the live cd that you speak of and there is no password required | 15:21 |
| bkar | adam as a test, save that file now or make a backup, | 15:21 |
| LjL | idefix: where it says OWNER="vincent"... did you change that yourself? | 15:21 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: perhaps you are using another by mistake? | 15:21 |
| jrib | bazhang: I've seen it happen with bad burns | 15:21 |
| bkar | adam then go to network manager and modify parameters, then open up /etc/network/interfaces again and compare the two..you see what changes it makes | 15:21 |
| bazhang | jrib: ah that would explain it | 15:21 |
| xomp | !dd | 15:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:22 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: hehe, i hope not i have downloaded it from sweden and norway now. | 15:22 |
| nickrud | !info dd | xomp | 15:22 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: it is highly likely that this is a poorly burned iso file and you will need to burn it again | 15:22 |
| ubotu | xomp: Package dd does not exist in gutsy | 15:22 |
| adam | bkar: ok, I'm an old Debian fart, what network manager would that be? | 15:22 |
| xomp | thanks nickrud | 15:22 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: last time i burned it , i yse 8x | 15:23 |
| idefix | LjL i cannot remember chaning it myself | 15:23 |
| bkar | adam-> i dont know the equivalent in debian, on ubuntu you have that network manager gui | 15:23 |
| idefix | LjL neither is it in my printing in linux list | 15:23 |
| * xomp wonders how to backup his linux box now heh | 15:23 | |
| nickrud | xomp: heh. the command does, it just doesn't have it's own package | 15:23 |
| LjL | xomp, nickrud: it's in coreutils | 15:23 |
| dennda | is envy capable of installing 64-bit drivers for nvidia-cards? | 15:23 |
| nickrud | LjL: thanks, dpkg -S just told me that :) | 15:23 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: it might be the burn speed or the media itself--some media is of a quality that is less than stellar | 15:23 |
| adam | bkar: what's the binary's name? | 15:23 |
| LjL | idefix: well i have no idea why it's there, but i do suggest changing it into OWNER="lp". however, the rest of it looks just like the forums article suggests, as you can see | 15:23 |
| xomp | LjL, cool, so I will be able then to backup my install? | 15:23 |
| LjL | nickrud: your HD is faster than mine | 15:24 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: tank you for your time. | 15:24 |
| bazhang | aptoncd xomp | 15:24 |
| LjL | xomp: eh, i don't know... i just know ubuntu definitely comes with dd | 15:24 |
| bkar | adam am not sure, in command line type gnome and press tab twice, its one of those gnome-xxx | 15:24 |
| nickrud | xomp: depends on how you want to backup dd does work | 15:24 |
| arcdarkwolf | Hey, just a quick question. I'm running my Ubuntu Gusty though VPC, and I can't get it to go full screen. The resolution is too high for my monitor, and if I try to change it inside VPC, nothing happens. Any help? | 15:24 |
| xomp | ok, cool. I've never used it, but someone here told me it's what I should use to back up my install hehe, was going to research on how to use it today :) | 15:24 |
| nickrud | !backup | xomp | 15:25 |
| ubotu | xomp: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 15:25 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: did you check the md5? | 15:25 |
| nickrud | xomp: I personally like !sbackup , it's painless, simple and automated | 15:25 |
| adam | bkar: I tried network-admin | 15:25 |
| adam | bkar: hey, it actualy saved stuff in network/interfaces, cool. | 15:25 |
| bkar | adam, sorry i cant seem to find the network manager applet launcher command | 15:25 |
| Poseidon5346 | anyone here tried to use kde4? | 15:26 |
| bkar | adam there you go you found it | 15:26 |
| bullgard4 | What filenames do the 'Device Information Files' have which file:///usr/share/doc/hal-doc/spec/hal-spec.html#ov_halarch speaks about? | 15:26 |
| LjL | !kde4 > Poseidon5346 (Poseidon5346, see the private message from Ubotu) | 15:26 |
| xomp | nickrud, cool, will sbackup allow me to restore everything the way it was incase of a total system crash? | 15:26 |
| mohbana | Hi veryone, i can't seem get ubuntu past the intiial screen, after i click 'start or install' i just a blank screen nothing happens, ive tried select safe graphics mode but nothing happends | 15:26 |
| mar77i | Seveas: it's now shown on iwconfig, but I can't seem to connect... | 15:26 |
| Poseidon5346 | yeah...tks | 15:26 |
| adam | bkar: thanks man, I gotta restart X to kill the gnome network applet and try this new interfaces file | 15:26 |
| bkar | adam good luck | 15:27 |
| bullgard4 | What is the reason that on one of my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop computers runs hald while on the other not? (Both do function.) | 15:27 |
| xomp | !sbackup | 15:27 |
| ubotu | sbackup is a tool to create complete and/or incremental backups (which can be scheduled to be automatic, and can be done over a network). It is available in !Universe | 15:27 |
| nickrud | xomp: if you configure it to do that. | 15:27 |
| xomp | nickrud, awesome, I'll check it out then :D | 15:27 |
| finalbeta | bullgard4: likely one of them has worse drivers then the other. | 15:27 |
| bazhang | srestore then on the other computer correct? | 15:27 |
| bkar | mar77i what does your iwconfig show? | 15:27 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: md5? | 15:28 |
| pteague_work | anybody know if there's a midi/game port to usb adapter? i have lots of usb ports on my box, but no midi/game port | 15:28 |
| finalbeta | bullgard4: try changing terminal when it happens, perhaps it's just x that's acting up. chek dmesg for errors | 15:28 |
| __VIO__ | bazhang: Linux in new to me i am an windows user. | 15:28 |
| bazhang | __VIO__: what app did you use to burn this cd? there is a file that compares what the file should be and what you have called an md5 file | 15:28 |
| tz34534 | __VIO__: md5 checksums are not linux specific | 15:28 |
| IdleOne | !md5 | __VIO__ | 15:29 |
| ubotu | __VIO__: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 15:29 |
| bullgard4 | finalbeta: I happens always. This is no time-dependent finding. | 15:29 |
| arcdarkwolf | Hey, I'm running Ubuntu Gusty though Virtual PC, and I can't get it to fit to full screen, the resolution of the virtual machine (Ubuntu) is too high, and if I try and change it, nothing actually happens | 15:29 |
| jrib | __VIO__: just run "check cd for defects" instead of "start or install ubuntu" from the menu you get when you boot your computer with the cd | 15:29 |
| __VIO__ | ok. tanks. i try that. | 15:29 |
| xomp | nickrud, I have sbackup installed. Do you know how I could configure it to perform such a backup that I could restore the whole system if my hard drive fails and need to install a new one? hehe | 15:30 |
| bahadunn | did some updates break mp3 playback recently for amarok/rhythembox? | 15:30 |
| mohbana | anyone? | 15:31 |
| qj0n | Hi. I am downloading lots of software on my new Gusty, and i have the other computer which should have almost all that software too. What can i do to avoid duplicating downloads? | 15:31 |
| arcdarkwolf | Hang on, if I change the "vga=0x314" would that allow me to change the inside resolution? | 15:31 |
| Cobrajr122 | Is there any lineup to get help or can I just throw in my question. | 15:31 |
| finalbeta | bullgard4: I know. Bad drivers... Linux runs on them. I have several machines with issues like them. Try what I said, if you are lucky you find out what driver the problem is. If you have ati/nvidea, try using the other free or non free drivers. might solve it | 15:31 |
| xomp | nickrud, only reason I freak about a backup is this laptop used to have PGP installed and the whole disk encrypted. I'm sure the HDD will fail permaturely on me for that reason. | 15:31 |
| mohbana | Hi veryone, i can't seem get ubuntu past the intiial screen, after i click 'start or install' i just a blank screen nothing happens, ive tried select safe graphics mode but nothing happends | 15:31 |
| kewlmart | Hello, when ever i want to join photo attachments in evolution, i cannot see the actual photos, instead i have a photo icon, anyway to fix it so i can see the photos i want to send? | 15:31 |
| bullgard4 | finalbeta: There is no 'HAL' in dmesg output. | 15:31 |
| bazhang | throw it in Cobrajr122 | 15:31 |
| Cobrajr122 | ok, tks | 15:31 |
| nickrud | xomp: what I do is backup my /home , the stuff I edit in /etc , any databases or web stuff in /var , and the installed package list. I would reinstall then restore that stuff | 15:31 |
| arcdarkwolf | Meh, I'll try my little theory to see if it works | 15:31 |
| arcdarkwolf | Thanks for the lack of help | 15:32 |
| jrib | kewlmart: not that I am aware of, but one workaround may be to use nautilus to find your picture, and then just drag it to where you want | 15:32 |
| finalbeta | bullgard4: on my dell, that's how I find out my cd drive was freezing up the system (libsata), the video driver thing is something you should try for sure. | 15:32 |
| xomp | nickrud, ok, I think I see what this does. It will restore those areas AFTER a reinstall of the OS? So backing that stuff up will keep my compiz settings, icons, themes etc..? | 15:32 |
| Skrot | Hi, ubuntu supports encrypted LVM using the alternate installation, right? If so, is it easy to extend the ecrypted LVM with more encrypted discs? | 15:33 |
| bullgard4 | finalbeta: Yes, it is ATI Radeon. But I do not dare to test the other drivers. In the past this only lead to trouble with the X server. | 15:33 |
| nickrud | xomp: yes, all your personal settings are in /home/<you> | 15:33 |
| xomp | nickrud, awesome! Thanks | 15:33 |
| nickrud | xomp: including downloaded themes, your mail, etc | 15:33 |
| Cobrajr122 | I installed ubuntu way back in may 2006 when i couldnt get windows installed properly, so i was using ubuntu for a few months. I randomly decided to go retrive all my filws off of it today but now that I have a 8800GT it wont boot properly. Is there any way i can upgrade it from the Live cd? | 15:33 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> we are serving number 899 what number is yours? | 15:33 |
| bullgard4 | finalbeta: Let me re-iterate, the machine functions (by and large). | 15:33 |
| ravennium | bkar, I found an answer from the kubuntuforums. This is what I was talking about: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3084310.0 | 15:34 |
| finalbeta | bullgard4: one of my other laptops freezes up after a while. switching to another terminal fixes it, for a while... | 15:34 |
| bahadunn | noone knows about mp3 playback breaking? | 15:34 |
| IdleOne | bkar: dont be a troll | 15:34 |
| nickrud | !clone | xomp this is how you would create the installed package list, then reset it | 15:34 |
| ubotu | xomp this is how you would create the installed package list, then reset it: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 15:34 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : I didnt know that I got a number :P | 15:34 |
| bkar | IdleOne-> one time thing, you spoil it so much | 15:34 |
| kewlmart | Jrib, yes i do that right now, but i thought maybe there would be an easier way.thx | 15:34 |
| bullgard4 | finalbeta: So your situation is worse than mine. -- I did ask for heuristic purposes. I am curious but not in an immediate hurry. | 15:35 |
| ere4si | mohbana, you might need the alternate cd - what is your hardware | 15:35 |
| bazhang | Cobrajr122: is this the alternate cd or the livecd of gutsy gibbon 7.10 and what system are you upgrading from | 15:35 |
| yoluca | ddoea anyone know how to fix the sound in flash ? | 15:35 |
| nickrud | Cobrajr122: no. You have to get the nvidia driver from nvidia to run the 8800gt. However, you can use the command line at alt-f2 in your boot to copy stuff around | 15:35 |
| mohbana | ere4si, one sec | 15:35 |
| spl0it | hey guys - I was looking for some suggestions, I setup a transparent bridge on my network with the desired goal of tracking all data per hosts - ie. know how much bandwidth each host is using, etc.. generate reports, etc... does anyone have any suggestions as to what software I should use? I tried to find one last night for hours, but I was unable to find any packages with that type of reporting.... | 15:35 |
| mohbana | ere4si, the first post on this site http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=45705 the first post | 15:36 |
| finalbeta | bullgard4: try asking on the forums, there are many threads with similar issues and strange fixes :p. perhaps someone who knows will notice your thread | 15:36 |
| nickrud | spl0it: a few years ago I used ntop, it's a web based analyzer | 15:36 |
| k1l0 | PLEASE i need to merge partition in ubuntu...someone help? | 15:36 |
| bullgard4 | finalbeta: Yes, I will endeavour that. -- Thank you for commenting. | 15:37 |
| spl0it | nickrud: okay I'll check that out... | 15:37 |
| spl0it | any other suggestions for network accounting? | 15:37 |
| aoupi | what command can I use to see bandwidth usage? (like "Up: xxxKb/s Down: xxxkb/s") | 15:37 |
| Cobrajr122 | bazhang : I am currently downloading the 7.10 livecd and im not sure what i currently have on that HDDI guess it depends on what was releced within 4-6 months after may 2006. | 15:37 |
| nickrud | bullgard4: another good place to ask is the ubuntu-user mail list, some smart people hang out there as well | 15:37 |
| Cobrajr122 | nickrud : Could you explain more? | 15:37 |
| Neocold | Hello everyone, is there anyone available to help me with an install problem? | 15:37 |
| bkar | spl0it-> iptables can count packets | 15:38 |
| kewlmart | Hello, when ever i want to join photo attachments in evolution, i cannot see the actual photos, instead i have a photo icon, anyway to fix it so i can see the photos i want to send? | 15:38 |
| bullgard4 | nickrud: Ok, thank you for advising. | 15:38 |
| bazhang | !ask | Neocold | 15:38 |
| ubotu | Neocold: 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. :-) | 15:38 |
| spl0it | bkar: is there any good software to view the data - per host usage, etc? | 15:38 |
| nickrud | Cobrajr122: about which? The nvidia install I have no real input to give, I don't use it just know about the limitation of the ubuntu driver | 15:38 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> mount an old partition on liveCd or new install should be easy, if you just want to recover data | 15:38 |
| k1l0 | is there any way to merge partitions in ubuntu? | 15:39 |
| ere4si | mohbana, seems like all the newest gear - is that right? | 15:39 |
| savetheWorld | Anyone know where I can download a copy of the source for atscap ? (pchdrtv) | 15:39 |
| Rusty_Ryan | Hey there, is there anyone, that can help me to reconfigure my graphics settings? I treid to configure it fo a second monitor and crashed it all down... | 15:39 |
| mohbana | ere4si, yeh like 2 weeks old | 15:39 |
| bkar | spl0it-> you have to write the rules for iptables to mark it and count | 15:39 |
| pandab34r | frostwire doesn't work for me. im an amd 64 user and I donwloaded the deb. installer | 15:39 |
| bullgard4 | k1l0: Try Gparted. But backup before you start merging. | 15:39 |
| pandab34r | it installed. but wont run | 15:39 |
| jrib | pandab34r: tell us the output you get in a terminal when you type 'frostwire' and hit enter | 15:40 |
| jrib | !paste | pandab34r | 15:40 |
| ubotu | pandab34r: 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) | 15:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: i bet a buffalo nickel you need java. | 15:40 |
| bkar | spl0it-> am sure there are apps already out there doing this, i just dont know the name | 15:40 |
| yoluca | jrib is there anyway getting sound for flash ? | 15:40 |
| qj0n | how do i avoid downloading .deb's twice with two computers? | 15:40 |
| yoluca | or they didnt fix it yet ? | 15:40 |
| Neocold | Hello, when i am trying to install, it goes fine untill it loads (scrolling text then the graphic loading bar) then a graphical background comes up and the install freezes anyone know the cause? I am new to ubuntu. Thank You. | 15:40 |
| jrib | yoluca: flash should have sound | 15:40 |
| ere4si | mohbana, the developers need time to get the specs and write software to use the hardware - give thema week more | 15:40 |
| k1l0 | bullgard4: i've already tried it...the problem is that i need to expand the sd1 (containing windows) so it can be greater, i have 13,5 Gigs of unallocated hd space... | 15:40 |
| Rusty_Ryan | at the moment i cant get any resultione higher than 800 to 600 | 15:40 |
| spl0it | bkar: yeah I've found hundreds of apps, I just can't find any that accompilsh the tracking of data per host | 15:40 |
| yoluca | jrib .. not here | 15:41 |
| esaym | ubuntu 7.04, I have a amd 64 3000+ cpu and it seems to be stuck at 1000mhz instead of 2000mhz, any tips on getting it to change? | 15:41 |
| nickrud | qj0n: copy the the deb over from /var/cache/apt/archives | 15:41 |
| pandab34r | IndyGunFreak: i think you're right. how do I get it? | 15:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: for 64bit?.. don't know,.. | 15:41 |
| jrib | yoluca: don't know about it. According to adobe, it should just use alsa now. File a bug with them | 15:41 |
| pandab34r | crap. | 15:41 |
| qj0n | nickrud: thx, will it work with synaptic or apt-get? | 15:41 |
| mohbana | ere4si, but i am currently running fedora 8 which is quiet old do you have any idea what is wrong? | 15:41 |
| thomasxx37 | hi | 15:41 |
| Rusty_Ryan | i'm using ubuntu 7.10, graphics card is an ati radeon x800 | 15:41 |
| nickrud | !apt-proxy | qj0n (a long term solution) | 15:42 |
| ubotu | qj0n (a long term solution): apt-proxy is a program that acts as a local apt repository server for a LAN, only fetching from the internet when required. To set it up see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptProxy | 15:42 |
| bkar | spl0it-> well you now know what the basics behind it, either you customize or keep on searching for existing tools | 15:42 |
| jrib | !java > pandab34r (read the private message from ubotu) | 15:42 |
| nickrud | qj0n: you have to copy by hand, but once it's in the archive of the other machine it will work properly with apt-get and synaptic | 15:42 |
| Tomi^^ | Heya. I am having a problem during the instalÃl (trying to install currently). I have two partitions of the same size and filetype. How do I know which one is empty and which one has my windows programs? (both claim that they have 17gb used for some reason) | 15:42 |
| qj0n | thans | 15:42 |
| ere4si | fedora 8 is current mohbana | 15:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | jrib: does that work for 64bit to? | 15:42 |
| spl0it | bkar: yeah I figured someone here would have a suggestion that they've used.. | 15:42 |
| bkar | mohbana-> fedora8 is not that old, less than 6 months or so from release? | 15:42 |
| jrib | IndyGunFreak: yes, just not the firefox plugin | 15:42 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : Im just looking to get my files that i downloaded at that time so i can wipe the drive and install ubuntu server on it --> going along with that, I have 2 SCSIULTRA 320 15K drived on my desktop.... will ubuntu server have a problem with them? | 15:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | jrib: ah, gotcha. | 15:43 |
| rsk | Tomi^^: using the livecd? | 15:43 |
| bazhang | #fedora? | 15:43 |
| IdleOne | nickrud: I was going to ask if he could setup his 1 pc as a "repo" but I guess aptproxy does that :) | 15:43 |
| pandab34r | jrib: thanks | 15:43 |
| k1l0 | i need to expand the sd1 (containing windows) so it can be greater, i have 13,5 Gigs of unallocated hd space... | 15:43 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> as long as you can mount the drive to recover and a destination drive to copy over, i dont see it as an issue | 15:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: if youd on't need special java for 64bit, it should be in the repos and easy to install. | 15:44 |
| mohbana | how old is ubunut 7.10 | 15:44 |
| mohbana | could it be that i downloading the 32bit version instead of the 64bit? | 15:44 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : can the drive ot copy over to be on the network? | 15:44 |
| jrib | mohbana: 7.10 means 2007 october | 15:44 |
| rsk | hottis: few months | 15:44 |
| bazhang | mohbana: october of 2007 7.10 | 15:44 |
| nickrud | IdleOne: yup :) | 15:44 |
| k1l0 | :'(... | 15:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: 7.10= Oct 07, 8.04(next version), April 08 | 15:44 |
| Tomi^^ | rsk: yup | 15:44 |
| Puffin | test | 15:44 |
| jrib | mohbana: 'uname -a' will tell you whether you have 32bit or 64 | 15:45 |
| ere4si | mohbana, 7.10 means the 10nth month 07 | 15:45 |
| rsk | hottis: why asking? | 15:45 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> then you have to use nfs or samba or iScsci (am not sure if iscsci is supported) | 15:45 |
| bazhang | k1l0: you asked the question and were answered; back up then use gparted to do so | 15:45 |
| bullgard4 | k1l0: I personally have not tried to expand an Windows partition using Gparted. I have done such work using a commercial Windows tool. I did use Gparted successfully to shrink Windows partitons. But Linux people report in the forums that they have used Gparted successfully to expand Windows partitions. (But I read of failures as well.) | 15:45 |
| ere4si | windows or linux - 64 bit is immature | 15:45 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : oh no, ubuntu is installed on an pata 80gb maxtar :P | 15:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | ere4si: i agree 100% | 15:46 |
| mohbana | jrib, no i cant get past the initial boot screen it goes blank, how would i type that it? | 15:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | hardware is well ahead of software in this game. | 15:46 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> if you can mount it and read, whats the issue? | 15:46 |
| Tomi^^ | rsk: Do you know what I should do? | 15:46 |
| DiogoAgra | . | 15:46 |
| k1l0 | bullgard4: when i am in Gparted and choose "resize-move" on the sda it doesn't give me the option to merge with the unallocated space... | 15:46 |
| nickrud | Cobrajr122: you can install openssh-server on the ubuntu machine, then ssh in from another machine on the network and scp the files over | 15:46 |
| ere4si | mohbana, use 32 bit on your comp for now | 15:47 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> these are two computers right? | 15:47 |
| bazhang | mohbana: this is on #fedora 8 or ubuntu? | 15:47 |
| yoluca | jrib do you know any application that allows me to use the integrated camera on my vaio laptop ? | 15:47 |
| jrib | mohbana: did you "check the cd for defects" (an option when you boot the cd)? | 15:47 |
| jrib | !webcam > yoluca (read the private message from ubotu) | 15:47 |
| jrib | yoluca: no, but see if that helps | 15:47 |
| frojnd | is possible to split screen in ubuntu ? | 15:47 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : yes, my PC and my laptop, which i would prefer not to install ubuntu onto because of its limited disc space, and it also have a Gforce * series card in it :p | 15:47 |
| mikebot | Is there a way in thunderbird to make it so that when relpying to an e-mail I am typing at the top, not bottom, of the e-mail? | 15:48 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : Gforce 8 ** | 15:48 |
| mohbana | jrib, i cant do that either ... it goes blank when i try to do anything, basically if i select, safe graphics mode / start or install / check cd -> i get like 2 lines of output then goes blank | 15:48 |
| jrib | mohbana: try the alternate cd | 15:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | mikebot: thats a question that is fairly specific to thunderbird, you're gonna have to either email mozilla tech support, or review its documentation | 15:48 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> we gave you suggestions, now your turn to describe where is the data to be recovered and what network do you have in between the pc and desktop? | 15:48 |
| jrib | !alternate | mohbana | 15:48 |
| ubotu | mohbana: 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 | 15:48 |
| mikebot | IndyGunFreak: Mm, OK, thanks. | 15:49 |
| * IndyGunFreak <3's the alternate install CD | 15:49 | |
| Tomi^^ | How can I tell about partition called "norsu" and partition called "kirahvi", which one is /dev/sda5 and which one/dev/sda6. They are of the same size | 15:49 |
| bkar | mohbana-> not sure if this will help, try ctrl+alt++ note the additional plus at end, or use minus to recycle rez | 15:49 |
| nickrud | Tomi^^: ls -l /dev/disk/by-label | 15:49 |
| IdleOne | nickrud: I havemnt checked out the link yet but using aptproxy mean that all the machines on the lan would be clones? | 15:50 |
| mohbana | i am pretty new to linux, how is the text install like? | 15:50 |
| nickrud | IdleOne: no, the proxy would be the union of all the packages installed on all the machines | 15:50 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : im not entierly sure what you mean by mounting the drives and stuff, But between my PC and laptop there is just a small linksys switch that is connected to my PC and laptop and my main router for the whole house. | 15:50 |
| Tomi^^ | nickrud: thanks | 15:50 |
| bazhang | mohbana: ncurses based | 15:50 |
| jrib | mohbana: just as easy, but not as pretty | 15:50 |
| bullgard4 | k1l0: May be you paid too much attention to a 'merge' and not to move the border of the two neighboring partitions. Start anew when you have slept well. -- Sorry, but your description is a bit vague. | 15:50 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> where is the old drive that has the data you want to recover? | 15:51 |
| Aquahallic_ | Mornin' folks | 15:51 |
| DIL | good evening | 15:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | good afternoon.. ;) | 15:51 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : Its a 80GB pATA Maxtar | 15:51 |
| k1l0 | bullgard4: LOL maybe you're right bullgard... anyway thanks for the advice...i try now to work with borders... | 15:51 |
| IdleOne | nickrud: ok so pc1=proxy pc2wants package AAA and asks pc1 for it. pc1 does not have that package and gets it from ubuntu repo and then sends to pc2 correct? | 15:51 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> on the desktop? | 15:52 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : correct, thats what ubuntu is installed on | 15:52 |
| nickrud | IdleOne: pc1 would keep a copy of it, so if pc3 wanted it wouldn't have to go to the net to get it | 15:52 |
| IdleOne | nickrud: thank you | 15:52 |
| IdleOne | :) | 15:52 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> ubuntu is already installed? on a different partition? | 15:52 |
| k1l0 | bullgard4: what if the partitions are not "near"? in the middle i have a fat32 partition with all my data on it... | 15:53 |
| schmeh | o: | 15:53 |
| schmeh | can someone here tell me where i can setup the console keymap? | 15:53 |
| schmeh | the keymap is a .map file | 15:54 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : my old copy of ubuntu from late 2006 is installed on that HDD by itsself, it has the whole drive. | 15:54 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> how many drives does your desktop have? two ? | 15:54 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> see if you dont elaborate on your setup, we have to ask many questions.. | 15:55 |

| ubuntuo | IndyGunFreak "amsn --ver" just opens my aMSN | 15:59 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> you have to get a driver for windows to allow it to read ext2 | 15:59 |
| ubuntuo | ygorabreu from the synaptic package manager | 15:59 |
| ubuntuo | but when i used it, i got a prompt screen saying "get the latest version" | 15:59 |
| Al2O3_ | I'm looking to configure the workspace application on ubuntu to restrict window movment to the current workspace until a modifier key is depressed at which time the window via a drag would be able to move to another workspace. | 15:59 |

| IndyGunFreak | ubuntuo: weird. every program i have, that shows the version, | 15:59 |
| ubuntuo | IndyGunFreak really? | 16:00 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : you can do that? woulda loved to know that ages ago | 16:00 |
| ygorabreu | ubuntuo: so..u could go to the amsn page and download the new version... and install tcltls package | 16:00 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> or if you have those external adapters ie usb to ide adapter then install the drive that way | 16:00 |
| === laura is now known as Laurica | ||
| ubuntuo | yeah i was thinking of doing that ygorabreu | 16:00 |
| === Viele-baeren is now known as ABF|away | ||
| ubuntuo | <ygorabreu> yeah my synaptic package manager says my aMSN verson is .097 | 16:01 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : you mean like an external HDD? -- and you confused me again XD | 16:01 |
| ygorabreu | ubuntuo: and download the autopackage..of tcl/tk8.05 or 8.4 if thats ur case... good luck! | 16:01 |

| spl0it | hey guys - I was looking for some suggestions, I setup a transparent bridge on my network with the desired goal of tracking all data per hosts - ie. know how much bandwidth each host is using, etc.. generate reports, etc... does anyone have any suggestions as to what software I should use? I tried to find one last night for hours, but I was unable to find any packages with that type of reporting.... | 16:02 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : yes i know how to use an external HDD | 16:02 |
| neopsyche | can anyone help me isntall my scanner | 16:02 |

| Cobrajr122 | bkar : but i see where your going now | 16:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: no. | 16:02 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> so move your old drive inside those casing adaptor and plug it in as usb | 16:03 |
| rpt | how can i install mIRC on ubuntu | 16:03 |
| rpt | is there a sudo command? | 16:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: the firefox java plugin doesn't work for 64bit without installing 32bit browser installed and other hoop jumping. | 16:03 |
| ygorabreu | ubuntuo: yeah mate.. but if u say that when u go to help>about and theres no file this is a error..dont ya think) :P | 16:03 |
| bardyr | rpt, you can use wine, but xchat is superior in linux | 16:03 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> but if you dont have that external adaptor, load the ext2 driver for windows, you have to google to find one | 16:03 |
| ubuntuo | yeah | 16:03 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : i think it would be easier to get the ext3 windows reader, do you know fo a name? | 16:04 |
| ubuntuo | it said something like "that file you requested is not yet available or translated" | 16:04 |
| ubuntuo | something weird | 16:04 |
| pandab34r | IndyGunFreak: so i dont understand how somone would get frostwire running on a 64bit system | 16:04 |
| bullgard4 | k1l0: As far as I remember you can only deal with adjacent partitions in Gparted. A partition in the middle can only dealt with as follows: Back it up. Extend your target partition. Copy the backup files in the target partition. | 16:04 |
| ygorabreu | ubuntuo: anyway.. download the autopackage..install the tcltls and there should be no problem..GL ! xD | 16:04 |
| k1l0 | ok...so now i have an empty partition...what if i copy and paste this (empty) in the sda1 partition (system)? | 16:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: very good question | 16:04 |
| ubuntuo | okay thanks mate cheers! | 16:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | why did you download 64bit? | 16:04 |
| bkar | Cobrajr122-> nope, i didnt have a need, so I dont know which is a good one, just google for it | 16:04 |
| ygorabreu | ubuntuo: sure..cuz the guys from amsn are all north americans..i think :P | 16:04 |
| pandab34r | Because I have a 64bit processor... wantedto utilize it | 16:05 |
| ubuntuo | haha | 16:05 |
| ygorabreu | haha! | 16:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: well, what do you do to utilize a 64bit proc? | 16:05 |
| bullgard4 | k1l0: You cannot copy and paste a partition. | 16:05 |
| Cobrajr122 | bkar : Great, thanks! sorry for not really teling you everything you needed to know --- one last thing, the new versions of linux server will or will not boot on a 8800GT | 16:05 |

| DrKeith | I'm about to install ubuntu with a dual windows boot. I'm wondering, once it's done how easy would it be to get rid of windows later? | 16:08 |
| pandab34r | IndyGunFreak: seems to be working | 16:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: it should | 16:08 |
| bkar | DrKeith-> its a snap | 16:08 |
| pandab34r | IndyGunFreak: ty, gtg for now | 16:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: you'll run into some other problems though, installing flash, etc. | 16:08 |
| nickrud | DrKeith: just reformat the windows partition as ext3 , done | 16:09 |
| DrKeith | ok thanx, and 1 more question | 16:09 |
| DrKeith | what is a good amount of hard disk space for the linux partition? | 16:09 |
| pandab34r | IndyGunFreak: got flash taken care of ;) | 16:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | pandab34r: ok. | 16:09 |
| bkar | DrKeith-> 5 gig minimum then separate partitions for /home | 16:10 |
| nickrud | DrKeith: 10-15gb for the root partition ( / ) and as much as you can spare for the /home partition, with 2x ram up to about 2gb for swap partition | 16:10 |
| schmeh | i did it now via loadkeys, i hope the change lasts after the next reboot <_< | 16:11 |
| DrKeith | ok thank you for ur help | 16:11 |
| schmeh | next question: where do i specify my default Xmodmap? | 16:11 |
| k1l0 | bullgard4: uff...i am tired with trying...i will go out for a walk :P thanks a lot for the help. Have a nice day | 16:11 |
| schmeh | i could certainly make a .Xinit file, but dunno, sounds more like a hack than a solution... | 16:11 |
| nickrud | schmeh: use system->prefs->keyboard | 16:11 |
| incorrect | what is the name of the package that easies the generate of ssl certs for apache? | 16:11 |
| schmeh | nickrud: i can't select the xmodmap there <_< | 16:13 |
| thorndeux | Anyone using ICC Dasher here? | 16:13 |
| nickrud | schmeh: do you mean the default xkb map, or are you trying to create a custom xmodmap? | 16:13 |
| cs02rm0 | how do i get the cube effect for switching virtual desktops? | 16:14 |

| incorrect | oh i thought i had that installed | 16:15 |
| === lauren is now known as herman | ||
| incorrect | i thought it was a set of script to aid apache's interface to openssl | 16:15 |

| runemaste644 | Does anyone know of any good widget engines for Linux? | 16:21 |
| runemaste644 | that has a lot of widgets | 16:21 |
| amikrop | Do you recommend FrostWire or LimeWire? | 16:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | !widget | 16:21 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about widget - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:21 |
| Pici | runemaste644: screenlets? | 16:21 |
| runemaste644 | frostwire | 16:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | !gdesklets | 16:21 |
| ubotu | gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/ | 16:21 |
| bazhang | gdesklets runemaste644 | 16:21 |
| Pici | !screenlets | runemaste644 | 16:21 |
| ubotu | runemaste644: Screenlets are little widgets for your !desktop. Note you must have !Compiz Fusion, !Beryl, xcompmgr, or KWin to run them. You can get them at http://www.screenlets.org/ | 16:21 |
| bkar | Jatz-> how did you even get to use this? where did that overflow come from? overflow on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=1048576,mode=1777) | 16:21 |
| runemaste644 | i tried screenlets and gdesklets | 16:21 |
| th0r | schmeh:what ar eyou trying to do? | 16:21 |
| runemaste644 | screenlets dont have many | 16:21 |
| Jatz | bkar, it was working fine before | 16:22 |
| tritium | runemaste644: more will come with time | 16:22 |
| Jatz | the /tmp problem is new | 16:22 |
| nickrud | runemaste644: lol, then you'e discovered that they are essentially useless and use up valuable screen space | 16:22 |
| cybermad | !server | 16:22 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 16:22 |
| runemaste644 | and gdesklets have a bug where i have to restart the widget to move it | 16:22 |
| Jatz | bkar, could it be qdvdauthor? when I used it I had to select /tmp for something | 16:22 |
| bkar | Jatz-> you didnt answer me, where did you get this overflow ? how did you load it? | 16:22 |
| bazhang | runemaste644: for gnome those are some choices--for a kde environment (or even with gnome) is superkaramba | 16:22 |
| Jatz | bkar, overflow? how did I load it? I have no Idea. | 16:22 |
| runemaste644 | if i try superkaramba with gnome the widget background is always black | 16:23 |
| bkar | Jatz-> must be from qdvauthor, i am not familiar with it how it created that filesystem | 16:23 |
| qj0n | What is possible reason, that keyboard | 16:23 |
| schmeh | th0r: i'm trying to load my costum keymap in x and the ttys by defalt, gonna see if it worx now by rebooting >_> | 16:23 |
| bkar | and only reserved 1 meg | 16:23 |
| Jatz | well, I uninstalled qdvdauthor already | 16:23 |
| qj0n | What is possible reason, that keyboard isn't working with my ubuntu? | 16:23 |
| nickrud | Jatz: strange, that /tmp is on a tmpfs | 16:23 |
| bazhang | runemaste644: well there is always ubuntuforums and teh google if you dont like the answers you get here | 16:23 |
| Jatz | bkar, so how do I fix it? | 16:23 |
| grub | hey, anyone in here who has access to(or manages) the cd shipping requests? | 16:23 |
| SR71-Blackbird | is anyone running 2.6.24? | 16:24 |
| runemaste644 | ive already posted a thread | 16:24 |
| bkar | Jatz-> what is odd is the system allowed it to use the /tmp to own it | 16:24 |
| th0r | schmeh I only redefine the capslock key. I use xfce and put th emods in .Xmodmap, which is set up on login | 16:24 |
| Jatz | yeah, it is | 16:24 |
| Jatz | I ran qdvdauthor as myself, I'm fairly sure | 16:24 |
| bkar | Jatz-> umm i dont know, kill qvdauthor? or maybe reboot? | 16:24 |
| runemaste644 | ill settle for getting the need-to-restart-widget-to-move-it bug | 16:24 |
| emma | Does ubuntu recomend any gui's for configuring apache ? | 16:24 |
| runemaste644 | *fixed | 16:25 |
| cybermad | bkar what are you talking about "indian"? i'm not indian.. but what's the matter with it | 16:25 |
| Jatz | I've rebooted lots of times, bkar | 16:25 |
| bkar | emma you are going to abandon command line? hehe | 16:25 |
| nickrud | emma: no | 16:25 |
| brobostigon | olli: moin | 16:25 |
| bkar | jatz same huh? i dont know how that /tmp got owned by an app | 16:25 |
| emma | I'm not really proud of abandoning the command line. I always try the command line first but getting Apache to recognize PHP is eluding me. | 16:26 |
| olli | brobostigon, moin. do I know you? | 16:26 |
| runemaste644 | any widget engine with thousands available to download works for me ;-) | 16:26 |
| nickrud | emma: did you install libapache2-mod-php5 ? | 16:26 |
| brobostigon | olli: probebly not, just saying hello | 16:26 |
| bazhang | olli: you should :} | 16:26 |
| Jatz | bkar, so do I have to kill /tmp and remake it or is my install ruined? | 16:26 |
| emma | nickrud - I thought that would be included as a dependency with apache or php5 | 16:26 |
| bkar | cybermad-> an inside joke, <wink> | 16:27 |
| === InteGastono is now known as Gasten | ||
| olli | thanks for the warm welcome ;) | 16:27 |
| bkar | Jatz-> can you remove that qvdauthor for now, or rather dont let it start at boot? | 16:27 |
| danbhfive | !lamp > emma | 16:27 |
| nickrud | emma: not necessarily | 16:27 |
| cybermad | bkar oh.. sorry because my english is not good.. and it sound rasist ;) | 16:27 |
| Jatz | bkar, I already removed it | 16:27 |
| cybermad | instead i'm not indian.. | 16:27 |
| Jatz | I don't think it starts at boot, either | 16:28 |
| bkar | cybermad ah you know... | 16:28 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 16:28 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 16:28 |
| cybermad | instead -> although ;P | 16:28 |
| emma | maybe I should not have installed apache, mysql and php separately? | 16:28 |
| bkar | jatz can you umount it? | 16:28 |
| emma | should I uninstall all of them and install some kind of lamp package (if there is such a thing?) | 16:29 |
| nickrud | !lamp | emma (check your install against this page) | 16:29 |
| ubotu | emma (check your install against this page): LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 16:29 |
| Jatz | bkar, umount: /tmp is not in the fstab (and you are not root) | 16:29 |
| bkar | jatz sudo umount ... | 16:29 |
| emma | Ubuntu should make a package that is just lamp all at once, if you get what I mean. | 16:29 |
| bazhang | heh | 16:29 |
| Jatz | bkar, umount: /tmp: device is busy | 16:29 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-server | 16:30 |
| danbhfive | emma: well, there is the server install cd, I think thats ubuntu's solution for that | 16:30 |
| tetzke9 | i have a question: how do i disable the above and lower cube caps? | 16:30 |
| bkar | jatz lsof /tmp and identify the pid and then kill it | 16:30 |
| emma | wouldn't it be easy if someone just made a lamp package? | 16:30 |
| emma | so it installed the whole thing as one unit. | 16:30 |
| Sidney | alguem do brasil? | 16:30 |
| bkar | emma-> customization is the key | 16:31 |
| tritium | !pt | 16:31 |
| nickrud | can't disagree with that | 16:31 |
| bazhang | !br | 16:31 |
| ubotu | Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 16:31 |
| Jatz | lots of konqueror and klauncher stuff, you sure I should kill it all? | 16:31 |
| ConstyXIV | is power consumption roughly the same between different wifi cards? | 16:31 |
| tetzke9 | i have a question: how do i disable the above and lower cube caps? there 2 logos there now i dont want them (comp fusion) | 16:31 |
| bazhang | more of a ##hardware question | 16:31 |
| htns | why flash so choppy and slow on ubuntu? | 16:32 |
| nickrud | tetzke9: try #compiz-fusion | 16:32 |
| htns | unlike windows | 16:32 |
| htns | it plays smoothly in firefox on windows, but not on linux | 16:32 |
| Jatz | bkar, I should really kill it all? | 16:32 |
| DRebellion | htns: you using nonfree or gnash? | 16:32 |
| htns | and sometimes, it doesn't even work at all | 16:32 |
| htns | DRebellion: I dunno.... | 16:32 |
| Jatz | bkar: I just dont want to break something | 16:32 |
| schmeh | >_> | 16:32 |
| bkar | jatz when /tmp is only at 1meg, you may as well, /tmp should have been a temp dir so nothing should break | 16:32 |
| schmeh | that so didn't work | 16:32 |
| nickrud | Jatz: give him a second, he's thinking about how wierd it all is :0 | 16:32 |
| DRebellion | htns: how did you install it? | 16:33 |
| bkar | jatz and if it does, well reboot? | 16:33 |
| htns | DRebellion: I think I installed it via firefox | 16:33 |
| htns | You know, via the missing plugin | 16:33 |
| angah | still cannot delete those rules | 16:33 |
| Jatz | bkar, alright | 16:33 |
| htns | I'd like to install the official Adobe Flash instead of using the open source alternative | 16:33 |
| htns | But I dunno how, I tried but it's weird.... | 16:33 |
| bkar | jatz i have to go for a few, be back later | 16:33 |
| bazhang | htns: you read the topic? | 16:34 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash | htns look for the blue text on the forum page, it has working adobe flash installs | 16:34 |
| ubotu | htns look for the blue text on the forum page, it has working adobe flash installs: 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. | 16:34 |
| bazhang | a looong wait.. | 16:34 |
| SR71-Blackbird | i am getting a strange problem while compiling alsa-driver CFLAGS changed | 16:34 |
| SR71-Blackbird | *** CFLAGS was changed in "/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/acore/Makefile". Fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS | 16:35 |
| nickrud | lol, I died while holding my breath | 16:35 |
| bazhang | hehe | 16:35 |
| SR71-Blackbird | nickrud, see you in heaven | 16:35 |
| DRebellion | htns: i'm assuming you installed gnash, the open source alternative which is still in development. | 16:35 |
| DRebellion | !brokenflash | htns | 16:35 |

| troythetechguy | What windows manager does Ubuntu use? | 16:36 |
| brobostigon | gnome | 16:36 |
| nickrud | troythetechguy: metacity by default | 16:36 |
| bomanizer | halp! | 16:37 |
| nickrud | troythetechguy: unless you use compiz instead | 16:37 |
| wirefire | anyone recommend a good all round cd/dvd burning utility for images and general burning | 16:37 |
| troythetechguy | nickrud: I was looking for what is used by default. Thank you. | 16:37 |
| === grub is now known as gurb | ||
| bomanizer | how com /sys shows as having 0 space left, it's under / which has plenty of space | 16:37 |
| nickrud | wirefire: gnomebaker or k3b | 16:38 |
| BenderUnit22 | bomanizer: sys doesn't really occupy any space, IIRC. | 16:38 |
| BenderUnit22 | (like /proc, it's just a virtual file system) | 16:39 |
| bomanizer | Bender: i know | 16:39 |
| bomanizer | but i can't modify, echo stuff | 16:39 |
| bomanizer | like change a setting | 16:39 |
| bazhang | k3b wirefire | 16:39 |
| bomanizer | so strange | 16:39 |
| troythetechguy | wirefire: I've had great luck with k3b. | 16:39 |
| wirefire | k3b it is then thanks guys | 16:40 |

| filthpig | why not use Brasero? | 16:41 |
| emma | I guess linux has it's advantages but it's the least efficient operating system by far. | 16:42 |
| DRebellion | emma: actually, efficiency is one thing linux does *very* well | 16:42 |
| chook | ubuntu-fr | 16:42 |
| th0r | DRebellion you shouldn't feed the trolls <smile> | 16:43 |
| emma | I don't see how it is efficient when after 4 hours I still can't do what I want to do. That's a lot of wasted time. Multiply that by every user and think of the lost productivity. With any other OS surely I would be doing what I wanted to do instead of trying to learn the OS after 4 hours. | 16:43 |
| mohbana | say i install ubuntu and later decide to remove it, how would i do that? i am assuming i would just format the disc thats it on right? the entry would still be in the grub menu right? | 16:43 |
| th0r | DRebellion I rest my case | 16:43 |
| bazhang | 4 hours? :} | 16:43 |
| emma | Wrong. You can't just call every person with a valid complaint a troll. That makes you a sycophant. | 16:44 |
| IdleOne | I guess windows has it's advantages but it's the least efficient operating system by far. | 16:44 |
| emma | The whole purpose of Ubuntu is user friendliness. People should realize that Ubuntu has a long way to go. | 16:44 |
| th0r | emma my my...how sesquipedalian | 16:44 |
| bazhang | emma: four hours is hardly enough time to form a valid opinion | 16:44 |
| DRebellion | emma: i'd like to see you set up a lamp package on windows ;) | 16:44 |
| Seveas | emma, and this is a support channel, not a whining room | 16:44 |
| emma | My idea of eficiency is if I can accomplish what I want to accomplish without a lot of wasted time. | 16:44 |
| brobostigon | emma: what was your problem, i have obviously missed it??i have been away. | 16:45 |
| IdleOne | emma: ubuntu invites you to help make it better for the end user | 16:45 |
| Seveas | repeat troll | 16:45 |
| bazhang | brobostigon: setting up lamp | 16:45 |
| Ttech | lol | 16:45 |
| bomanizer | Bender: could you please advice why i can't echo a setting to a file under sys? please, this worries me... | 16:45 |
| brobostigon | bazhang: did she follow the instruction on help.ubuntu.com | 16:45 |

| brobostigon | oh, well. | 16:46 |
| BenderUnit22 | bomanizer: I honestly have no idea. What happens when you try? Any meaningful error message, or just nothing? | 16:46 |
| IdleOne | like setting up a apache and mysql is easy and done in 10 minutes on windows | 16:46 |

| kna | how can i configure ubntu automatically | 16:56 |
| htns | why don't window games run under Linux? | 16:56 |
| htns | ^_- | 16:56 |
| brobostigon | IndyGunFreak: because windows games do work under linux with wine | 16:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | IndyGunFreak, because Linux is JUST LIKE WINDOWS and software develpers WANT TO HELP EACH OTHER. | 16:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | Am I close? | 16:56 |
| kbrooks | bomanizer, the command Seveas gave works because tee is run with root permissions and accepts the input from echo 70 (70) | 16:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | brobostigon: with limited success, some work great, some work a little, some don't work at all. | 16:56 |
| mohbana | how do i paste something in here | 16:56 |

| kbrooks | bomanizer, np | 16:56 |
| kna | anyone? | 16:56 |
| profx | htns, you need to do some research, try wine | 16:56 |
| kna | plz | 16:57 |
| syntaxerror55 | kna, you probably can't do it automatically. | 16:57 |
| brobostigon | IndyGunFreak: i managed a couple of weeks ago to get a complicated game like quake3 to work under linux with wine, | 16:57 |

| kbrooks | profx, did *you* put the command in? | 16:57 |
| kna | now im off, and my bat is low | 16:57 |

| syntaxerror55 | julio3patas, I have no idea. D: I'm sorry. Possibly you could try the GTK+ version, but the reason people use -kde in the first place is because it looks better. You could try #openoffice.org or #kubuntu | 17:03 |

| tim167 | xtknight the ubuntuforums page is a bit cryptical imho | 17:11 |
| xtknight | tim167, oh i see you're following the howto. one sec | 17:11 |
| Seveas | profx, yes | 17:11 |
| harun | selam | 17:11 |
| profx | Seveas, would appear that possibly a partiion is listed as bootable | 17:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xtknight: It just wants you to edit your xorg.. | 17:11 |
| AxlRose | what is the command that you can set a file so that no matter who runs it they have superuser privaledges? | 17:11 |
| Seveas | profx, you seem to have bigger problems, judging by that other error | 17:12 |
| AxlRose | I thought it was chattr but I don't think it is | 17:12 |
| Seveas | AxlRose, chmod +s | 17:12 |
| Seveas | AxlRose, 'man chmod' for all details | 17:12 |
| xtknight | tim167, i think it should say, "Add these lines after your mouse's Section InputDevice clause" | 17:12 |
| tim167 | Jack_Sparrow:, ok thanks, but why doesnt it SAY 'Edit your file /etc/X11/xorg.conf' ? not everybody can guess that! | 17:12 |
| xtknight | tim167, gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:12 |
| xtknight | to edit axorg.conf | 17:12 |
| aragorn | how do you transfer itunes library to ubuntu ? | 17:12 |
| profx | Seveas, well if my system is booting off that device, rather than my other partition, that might explain my lack of /home/profx error | 17:12 |
| xtknight | and yes the howto is silly | 17:13 |
| idnzor | its a shame there is no easier way to change permissions via a giu | 17:13 |
| bazhang | aragorn: the mp3's? | 17:13 |
| xtknight | idnzor, you can change some by right clicking a file | 17:13 |
| xtknight | but only for current user. there's no su | 17:13 |
| profx | idnzor, rewrite Nautilus :) | 17:13 |
| aragorn | im swapping from windows xp to ubuntu | 17:13 |
| xtknight | or start nautilus with "gksu nautilus" | 17:13 |
| idnzor | yeah, but i mean if you dont have permissions to do that you cant do anything | 17:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tim167: It should say use gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf if gui and sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf from term but I didnt write it | 17:13 |
| idnzor | you have to launch nautilus as root | 17:13 |
| xtknight | yup | 17:13 |
| aragorn | i need to get my itunes library from XP to ubuntu | 17:14 |
| bazhang | no itunes for linux aragorn | 17:14 |
| xtknight | i think there should be 'run as admin', 'privilege escalation' options or something | 17:14 |
| profx | idnzor, which is easy enough to do, right ? | 17:14 |
| bort | im running live cd ubuntu, and i want to install it, but i have a partition problem, i choose manual partitioning and i have 6 Gb free, in which i want to make two different partitions,one ext3(root) and one swap, but when I created one, it says the left free space is unusable, any ideas? | 17:14 |
| DRebellion | aragorn: what codec are the files? | 17:14 |
| AxlRose | Seveas: thank you | 17:14 |
| tim167 | Jack_Sparrow: is it a wiki ? maybe someone could add that ... | 17:14 |
| xtknight | does anyone know ubuntu's firefox development channel? | 17:14 |
| aragorn | itunes works in ubuntu | 17:14 |
| bazhang | xtknight: not a good idea that | 17:14 |
| idnzor | yeah but not a good idea to give a novice user root access to everything.... maybe nautilus should hook up with policykit or something | 17:14 |
| Dame | what should i do if grub cannot be installed? what can be wrong? | 17:14 |
| profx | xtknight, its on /server irc.mozilla.org | 17:14 |
| bazhang | aragorn: link? | 17:15 |
| sudobash | I just did a sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade and now my X windows shutdown when i login... It will show the desktop for maybe 1 or 2 sec and then restarts GDM... I have already re configured my Xorg and it didnt work so how do i revert to before the updates? can i uninstall the updates through the apt-get or should i load ubuntu into minimal graphics mode and use synaptic? | 17:15 |
| idnzor | like they might open a nautilus window in / and wonder what all this bin and etx stuff is 'oh ill delete that' lol | 17:15 |
| kbrooks | I suggest that we take our ideas and post them somewhere. | 17:15 |
| aragorn | i know somebody that uses ubuntu and can use itunes there | 17:15 |
| profx | aragorn, wine | 17:15 |
| aragorn | yes, he mentioned Wine | 17:16 |
| bazhang | aragorn: under wine perhaps but not native to linux | 17:16 |
| aragorn | tell me more about it please | 17:16 |
| kbrooks | so that they do not go forgotten. | 17:16 |
| profx | !wine > aragorn | 17:16 |

| kbrooks | Jack_Sparrow, the catch was what? | 17:16 |
| DRebellion | This firefox flash problem has been going on for ages! Anybody got an idea of when the fix will be pushed through? | 17:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xtknight: Things like that can be added program by program, but really isnt needed. | 17:17 |
| bazhang | DRebellion: before the end of the year | 17:17 |
| aragorn | !wine | 17:17 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 17:17 |
| DRebellion | bazhang: why so long? | 17:17 |
| jrib | DRebellion: apparently, one reason is that the new flash plugin does not work with konq yet, so they are waiting for that to be resolved | 17:18 |
| bazhang | DRebellion: adobe is going open source? | 17:18 |

| Pici | profx: I think you are confused about the difference between /dev and /media. Notice how the cdrom and floppy lines of fstab are formatted. | 17:55 |
| Pici | !hardy | bernier | 17:55 |
| ubotu | bernier: hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 17:55 |

| Wyrmul | somehow my grub settings were cleared. I have lost the option to dual boot to my windows xp drive. I have tried recreating the entry but I haven't had much success. | 17:56 |
| Wyrmul | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53591/ | 17:56 |
| Pici | profx: /media just holds folders (which may be mountpoints), you need to format your fstab lines in the format: /dev/something /somemountpoint options | 17:57 |
| Pici | profx: That is not the format that you have there. | 17:57 |

| sudobash | big file? | 18:25 |
| x-X-x | adub i recommend u use virtual box its free and on par with vmware | 18:25 |
| Seveas | adub, some sort of network file sharing (samba, ftp, ssh, nfs) will do | 18:25 |
| sudobash | i used to just use a flash drive | 18:25 |
| sudobash | yeah ftp works well | 18:26 |
| Seveas | x-X-x, that won't help him solve the problem.,, | 18:26 |
| sudobash | since they both have IP | 18:26 |
| x-X-x | exit the X server and terminate all OpenGL applications (note that it is possible that some OpenGL applications persist even after the X server has stopped) | 18:26 |
| BenderUnit22 | x-X-x: check with top when you're in a console. | 18:26 |
| BenderUnit22 | (or just from within your current X session) | 18:26 |
| adub | seveas do you have this setup from virtual windows and linux | 18:26 |

| harm | he just told me to find it somewhere else.. this isnt an answer its a reply.. a mighty useless one | 18:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | bkar: lol, how dare you suggest he find an answer himself. | 18:37 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi, Firestarter is disabled and fails to start the firewall. It says: Device ath0 is not ready. Pls help. | 18:38 |

| harm | bkar: look i came here for an answer not a retort of my search method | 18:38 |
| DRebellion | harm: he gave you a link to a perfectly good ubuntu tutorial on dualboot | 18:38 |
| alcohol | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/feisty/release/ - isn't 7 the latest ? | 18:38 |
| harm | DRebellion: he didn give me a link | 18:38 |
| DRebellion | !dualboot > harm (read the pm from ubotu) | 18:38 |
| bkar | alcohol yes, those are for like appliances with network capabilities, like toaster via network..heh | 18:38 |
| harm | brb | 18:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | alcohol: 7.10 is, Feisty is 7.04 | 18:38 |

| EnsignRedshirt | The ubuntu time machine is in action... I just started dowloading Ubuntu ISO from the RIT (NY) archive, and I was getting ubuntu-8.10-... | 18:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | alcohol: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/7.10/release/ | 18:39 |
| xoqa | any tips on getting my cable connection to work? | 18:39 |
| ompaul | alcohol, 7.10 is the latest release -- anything after that is between alpha and beta software -- i.e. crazy | 18:39 |
| alcohol | ah | 18:39 |
| alcohol | 7.10 has a ppc cd image it says ? | 18:39 |
| ompaul | alcohol, if it says it it has it - don't watch ppc myself | 18:40 |
| === fggrs is now known as ertwefwe | ||
| IndyGunFreak | alcohol: no it doesn't, its a community project. | 18:40 |
| profx | can I get some more help with my mounting, http://www.pastebin.ca/873597 | 18:40 |
| === Ttech is now known as The_Master | ||

| === ertwefwe is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| alcohol | IndyGunFreak: what are the ppc cdimages listed there then ? | 18:40 |
| bkar | xoqa-> also can you elaborate on your network setup? | 18:40 |
| sudobash | it cant even load the login screen now | 18:40 |
| dex_ | apt-proxy-import gives me lots of 'package not avalaible to any backend' messages // i repeat because i was disconnected and if anyone answered, i did not receive it | 18:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | alcohol: again, those are not ubuntu(ie, canonical) images, they are community project images. | 18:41 |
| crashed | can anyone paste me (query) their menu.lst winxp entry for the grub loader? | 18:41 |

| Odd-rationale | cottima: yes | 18:42 |
| profx | cottima, with that much space, I would imagine | 18:42 |
| orgthingy | hello | 18:43 |
| Odd-rationale | cottima: But it is not worth donwloading unless you have fast internet connections. It took me hours. | 18:43 |
| orgthingy | how the hell can i hibernate?! ( i have toshiba lap-top) | 18:43 |
| profx | !language | orgthingy | 18:43 |

| orgthingy | Oh sorry | 18:43 |
| DG19075 | At 4.3 GB, the DVD is big, but worth it if you can get it | 18:44 |
| sudobash | damnit when i use the nv driver and comment out load glx it will work fine... it has to be the damn driver | 18:44 |
| cottima | odd-rationale thank you, and time is not too much a factor for me | 18:45 |
| Odd-rationale | Or you can buy the DVD. Support Canonical. :) | 18:45 |
| profx | can I get some more help with my mounting, http://www.pastebin.ca/873597 | 18:45 |
| DRebellion | profx: what exactly is the problem? | 18:45 |
| yoluca | mplayer chash when i try to load a subtitle error " gnome_screensarver_control()" any idea ? | 18:45 |
| syntaxerror55 | I'm having trouble installing Tor. http://pastebin.ca/873615 | 18:46 |
| profx | DRebellion, my user defined mounts are working correctly, fsck gives errors on boot, attempting to check them | 18:46 |
| cottima | is JeOS a base (root) os or an virtual appliance image or a tool for creating images? | 18:46 |
| ctothej | what is the difference between mysql-client and mysql-server? what are the 2 packages? | 18:46 |
| ompaul | orgthingy, you might find something here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam | 18:46 |
| yoluca | doesnt look like this is a official help channel .... maybe opensuse or madriva will help getting rid of those errors | 18:47 |
| xoqa | bkar: i really haven't done much, knetworkmanager statest that it is disconnected and that no device is found.. and yet when i go into the manual configuration, it says eth1 and eth0 are both enabled.. i'm willing to give more technical information, but i'm not sure what you want | 18:47 |
| mohbana | hi gusy the ubuntu fits on a cd right ... i dont need a dvd for it do i? | 18:47 |
| DRebellion | yoluca: can you pastebin verbose output from mplayer? | 18:48 |
| Odd-rationale | mohbana: Yes. just cd | 18:48 |
| Cpudan80 | mohbana: yep | 18:48 |
| profx | 'fsck.ext3: is a directory while trying to oepn /media/sdc1 /media/sdc1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ex2 filesystem.' DRebellion | 18:48 |
| Cpudan80 | mohbana: you will (probably) need an internet connection during the install to download more stuff though | 18:48 |
| yoluca | DRebellion gnome_screensarver_control() thats the error ... i dont start mplayer from terminal | 18:48 |
| mohbana | yeh its ok | 18:48 |
| DRebellion | Cpudan80: mohbana: you do not need an internet connection for install. | 18:48 |
| cottima | oh, odd-rationale, if I just do one cd, could i just do the server(, and easily install gui a environment later)? | 18:48 |
| DRebellion | cottima: yeh, you can install the gnome desktop packages | 18:49 |
| Cpudan80 | DRebellion: Ehhh ok thanks | 18:49 |
| Odd-rationale | cottima: You mean just get the server cd? | 18:49 |
| ompaul | yoluca, then perhaps you could, and then you would get errors | 18:49 |
| bkar | xoqa-> when you say you did manual configuration, what did you do? | 18:49 |
| Cpudan80 | cottima: You can add the ubuntu-desktop package later yeah | 18:49 |
| profx | DRebellion, ignoring me ? | 18:50 |
| dex_ | I cant import my apt--get cache to apt-proxy cache | 18:50 |
| Cpudan80 | cottima: But you can add apache,mysql,php,ssh to a desktop install easily | 18:50 |
| DRebellion | profx: no, i just have no idea how to fix your problem :P | 18:50 |
| dex_ | I receive lots of messages like 'No packages files avalaible for ...' | 18:50 |
| Odd-rationale | BTW what is the differnce between the server kernel and the generic kernel? | 18:50 |
| profx | ah | 18:50 |
| brobostigon | Odd-rationale: its obvious, one frs desktops/etc, and the other for servers | 18:51 |
| jawee | does anyone have any suggestions of a good photo album printing program? (to make sheets in a photo album from digital pictures) | 18:51 |

| Odd-rationale | !flaashissues | 18:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flaashissues - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | !flash | 18:52 |
| 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 | 18:52 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 18:52 |
| rem_ | hey. Can anyone tell me how to start the printer ? it says stopped in the printer configuration and doesnt print ubuntu 7.10 | 18:52 |
| ompaul | Odd-rationale, you are supposed to /msg ubotu flash -- it is in the topic | 18:53 |
| DRebellion | IndyGunFreak: please use !brokenflash, as !flash is too long. | 18:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | DRebellion: ?.. whatever | 18:53 |
| Odd-rationale | ompaul: !flashissues just give the second message, though. Not both. Shorter. | 18:53 |
| profx | can I get some more help with my mounting, http://www.pastebin.ca/873597 | 18:53 |
| * ompaul thinks that should not be the case we need to make that shorter | 18:53 | |
| bkar | xoqa-> so you want me to look at a paste with no real ip address? faked? mistypes? | 18:53 |
| Otacon22 | i need some info about clusters, anyone can answer me in pvt? | 18:54 |
| Odd-rationale | brobostigon: So I can easily setup up a server with a generic kernel and vice versa? | 18:54 |
| bkar | profx-> what is the issue with your mounts? | 18:54 |
| rem_ | ok..found it in the printer jobs it can be restarted...it would be easy to have a start button in the printer configuration next to the status ... ! | 18:54 |
| brobostigon | Otacon22: look up beowolf, on linux doc project, that will aswer your question | 18:55 |
| profx | 'fsck.ext3: is a directory while trying to oepn /media/sdc1 /media/sdc1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ex2 filesystem.' DRebellion | 18:55 |
| xoqa | bkar: what does it matter? | 18:55 |
| Otacon22 | brobostigon, ghgh, i want experience questions about what could i do with a cluster or not | 18:55 |
| danand | Otacon22 - what sort of cluster - what are you looking to do with it | 18:55 |
| brobostigon | Odd-rationale: i dont see why not, but a server kernal isnt designed for desktop and viceversa | 18:55 |
| bkar | xoqa-> you want me to assist you with correct info? or i can fake it too? | 18:55 |
| Otacon22 | good | 18:55 |
| Otacon22 | i would like to create a cluster for gaming | 18:55 |
| xoqa | bkar: i just don't want my IP address out | 18:56 |
| HellMind | my alt ctrl shift capslock stop working what can i do', this happen when i use vmware workstation , distro hardy | 18:56 |
| Otacon22 | using software rendering | 18:56 |
| Otacon22 | it is possibile? | 18:56 |
| Otacon22 | *is it | 18:56 |
| Otacon22 | danand, ? | 18:57 |
| Odd-rationale | brobostigon: I still wonder what actually is the difference. I know the difference between the generic kernel and the real-time kernel. Just would like to know how the server kernel fits in the picture. | 18:57 |
| bkar | xoqa-> then describe your problem clearly be specific please | 18:57 |
| danand | Otacon22 - your talking (i believe) about HPC Clusters - High performance computing. Rendering farms - that type of thing? | 18:57 |
| tussey | Kernel PAnic - not syncing CFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown-block(0,0, | 18:58 |
| xoqa | bkar: my wireless connection works, my cable connection doesn't. | 18:58 |
| Otacon22 | i don't know, i want to have an advise, that is what i would like to do: a gaming cluster | 18:58 |
| tussey | not syncing VFS | 18:58 |
| brobostigon | Odd-rationale: i dont know what the difference is, just the difference in what they are designed for. | 18:58 |
| HellMind | how can i restart the keyboard module, control or something thats broken | 18:58 |
| tussey | any idea how I can patch that up? it was caused by a bad shutdown | 18:58 |
| Odd-rationale | brobostigon: OK. Well thanks though | 18:58 |
| bkar | xoqa-> okay, elaborate on how these two are connected, which pc is which? | 18:58 |
| danand | Otacon22 - you mean you want to play games using a cluster of computers?? | 18:59 |
| brobostigon | Otacon22: what is a gaming cluster, whats it for?? | 18:59 |
| bkar | xoqa-> how many pc? | 18:59 |
| xoqa | bkar: both are on my laptio | 18:59 |
| Otacon22 | yes, is it possibile? | 18:59 |
| xoqa | laptop* | 18:59 |
| Otacon22 | (using software rendering) | 18:59 |
| brobostigon | or a simple network game | 18:59 |
| daedra | sounds cool... *wants a gaming cluster* | 18:59 |
| Lapper | I have a MacBook here, and I'm wondering which version of Ubuntu to install, "Standard personal computer", or "64bit AMD and Intel computers". | 18:59 |
| bkar | xoqa-> if you are going to be difficult, good luck in getting help..i ask you to elaborate, making me guess i will give you wrong advise | 18:59 |
| daedra | have you heard of parallel linux? | 18:59 |
| xoqa | bkar: i'm trying man | 19:00 |
| brobostigon | daedra: thats like beowulf, is it?? | 19:00 |
| sudobash | if you gain root access and type startx it will bypass GDM and load you straight into X desktop | 19:00 |
| danand | Otacon22 - I've been around clusters and HPC parallel computing for a while and I've never heard of anyone doing anything like that | 19:00 |
| Otacon22 | no brobostigon : i mean : i have some old pc and i want to use those power to create a most powerful pc for gaming | 19:00 |
| Otacon22 | XD | 19:00 |
| bkar | xoqa-> okay lets start, what do you have? how is your internet access provided? what equipment? | 19:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | i thought parallel was a virtual machine type program | 19:01 |
| pewpewpew | is there a way to check if both my cores are working as they should? | 19:01 |
| Otacon22 | danand, if i will compile for example wine program | 19:01 |
| bung | hello i installed xserver-xgl, to get desktop effects. but i would like to know how to setup a regular X session in gdm, anyone know how? | 19:01 |
| bung | (7.10) | 19:01 |
| Otacon22 | and then i will emulate a game | 19:01 |
| pewpewpew | i'm on a c2d | 19:01 |
| danand | Otacon22 - good creative thinking ;) | 19:01 |
| Otacon22 | this into a cluster. should work better than on one pc? | 19:01 |
| brobostigon | Otacon22: thats wht beowuld does, process sharing across the network,etc | 19:01 |
| daedra | brobostigon: yep, beowulf. look up "Parallel Knoppix" | 19:02 |
| Otacon22 | i tried clusterknoppix (with openMOSIX) but i haven't understanded so mush | 19:02 |
| Otacon22 | *much | 19:02 |
| Parsi | guys, how can i update ubuntu kernel? | 19:02 |
| bkar | Otacon22-> i sort of remember about SETI that shares computing power to zilions of puter, same concept you trying to achieve? | 19:02 |
| danand | Otacon22 - No - the game would have to be specially written to make use of all the pc's | 19:02 |
| daedra | Octacon22: you need a PXE boot network card in each machine | 19:02 |
| xoqa | bkar, i have a cable connection through Comcast, not sure what type of modem. my connection is through wireless at the moment. and this is odd because wireless hadn't worked before until after a restart after doing "sudo aptitude upgrade", and after the restart, the cable connection stopped working. | 19:03 |
| ikaruga3001 | parsi: either you updgrade to a more recent release or you compile your own | 19:03 |
| daedra | and yes, the game must be programmed to support threading | 19:03 |
| chazco | Would: echo "some code" | sudo -t /etc/sudoers work correctly? | 19:03 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: I assume your macbook has an intel processor? | 19:03 |
| Parsi | ikaruga3001: thankx | 19:03 |
| dmind | somebody know hot to make .exe in Linux? | 19:03 |
| dmind | how* | 19:03 |
| ikaruga3001 | parsi: however, i believe that the ubuntu dev team frowns upon compiling your own... so the eaiser choice is to upgrade | 19:03 |
| PriceChild | chazco, really don't do that... | 19:03 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: That's correct. | 19:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: The question is --- does your macbook support 64 bit? I don't think they do.... but I could be wrong | 19:04 |
| chazco | PriceChild - Any reason why not? Its part of a recovery script im trying to make | 19:04 |
| ikaruga3001 | parsi: however, that brings its own set of problems --- like your hardware might not be able to handle it | 19:04 |
| danand | Otacon22 - I don't think what you want to do (Use cluster of linux hosts running wine to run windows games faster) | 19:04 |
| bkar | xoqa-> how is the wireless somehow getting to the internet? you have not elaborated on that connectivity | 19:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: what kind of processor is it? | 19:04 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: Core 2 Duo. | 19:04 |
| danand | Otacon22 will work without rewrite of game | 19:04 |
| PriceChild | chajust be ridiculously careful when messing with sudoers. | 19:04 |
| PriceChild | chazco, ^ | 19:04 |
| casey_ | i need help setting up my wireless card on my dell inspiron 500m | 19:04 |
| Otacon22 | danand, this idea comed because a my friend wanted to change pc and i saied him:"we should make a super pc, what supports all new games with shaders and all.." and another my friend have 10-15 old pc that i could use | 19:04 |
| danand | Otacon22 Sorry join last 2 | 19:04 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: Oh ok, you can use the AMD64 one if you want ---- then you get 64 bit support | 19:04 |
| ctothej | I just installed mysql-server and it popped up asking me some question with an input box but I was typing when it popped up and it went away quickly. What did it ask me for? | 19:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: There are some headaches when running the 64 bit version though | 19:05 |
| netcrash | Hello, How can I recover my grub boot loader , I have installed windows and lost grub ... How to recover it ? ( using gutsy gibson ) | 19:05 |
| cottima | is there such a such as a boot.iso in the dvd iso, so I don't have to burn a dvd and can keep the iso file on another pc or drive during install? | 19:05 |
| chazco | PriceChild - Trying to be :) Theres an app that requires sudo normally, wanted to eliminate it | 19:05 |
| Parsi | ikaruga3001: do ubuntu servers include these updates? | 19:05 |
| xoqa | bkar: 802.11(b|g) | 19:05 |
| xoqa | not sure which one | 19:05 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: I was asking because the last time I attempted to install Ubuntu, I downloaded the 64 bit one and it wouldn't let me install. | 19:05 |
| danand | !grub > netcrash | 19:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: Namely flash and firefox (flash is broken now anyway, due to Adobe's misstep) | 19:05 |
| ikaruga3001 | parsi: they should | 19:05 |
| JordiGH | Hm, by Dellbuntu lappy doesn't seem to have Compiz working. I'm surprised. This is the first time I have problems with Compiz on an Intel video card. Where can I begin looking for help? | 19:05 |

| Cpudan80 | Lapper: Really? hmmm.... | 19:05 |
| Parsi | ikaruga3001: anyway...thankx | 19:05 |
| ikaruga3001 | parsi: oh you're talking about security patches | 19:06 |

| daedra | http://pareto.uab.es/mcreel/ParallelKnoppix/ | 19:06 |
| danand | Otacon22 - no - not in the manner that you want to do | 19:06 |
| Parsi | ikaruga3001: no, it's about kernel updates | 19:06 |
| Slith | Alright, I am in need of some help. I have a file that refuses to work, I was told on a forum to try 'sudo chmod +x starttimeforwarclient.sh' but it doesn't seem to work, nor does clicking on the file in the folder itself. Here is a screenshot: http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/551/screenshot1na8.png | 19:06 |
| Bam_ | I get an error opening Kate... is there a place where more detailed error logs can be found? | 19:06 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: So what does the 64 AMD/Intel version offer that makes it worth the Flash/FF hassle you're talking about? | 19:06 |
| casey_ | can anyone please help me setup my wireless card on my dell inspiron 500m | 19:06 |
| chazco | %somegroup ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/someapp <-- is that valid syntax for sudoers then? | 19:06 |
| ikaruga3001 | otacon22: what you're trying to do is not currently possible... the problem is that you won't be able to get the combined CPU power into one machine fast enough to support a 3D game | 19:06 |
| danand | Otacon22 - to make use of all them machines you need specially written applications | 19:06 |
| Otacon22 | ikaruga3001, if i use 1000 mb networks cards? | 19:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: Well - you get support for x86_64 applications, and you can install 4 GBs of ram (or more) | 19:07 |
| danand | Otacon22 - Typically beowulf clusters are used for scientific/engineering purposes | 19:07 |
| Otacon22 | YES | 19:07 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: for a lot of people, x86 is still just fine | 19:07 |
| Otacon22 | but it don't means that i can't use it to do what i want | 19:07 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: I only have a gig, and what kinds of applications are x86_64? | 19:08 |
| ikaruga3001 | otacon22: i don't think that's possible .... you won't get realtime results | 19:08 |
| danand | ikaruga3001 - agree - latency is the issue | 19:08 |
| === crni is now known as tainstvena | ||
| Otacon22 | hum | 19:08 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: Pretty much all the major packages have an x86_64 counterpart -- basically it allows the app to address into higher memory ranges | 19:08 |
| xoqa | bkar: i'm guessing its this: Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Network Connection | 19:08 |
| bkar | xoqa-> man you're a tuff nut to crack, you will not tell me how this device is connected to the internet | 19:08 |
| brobostigon | lapper: 4gb ram + | 19:09 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: So I would only need 64bit/AMD/Intel if I had a log of RAM? | 19:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: But since you only have 1 GB of ram, it wouldnt matter anyway (as your highest address block is within the x86 cap) | 19:09 |
| Slith | Uh... nvm, I figured it out. | 19:09 |
| Otacon22 | ikaruga3001, and about other applications that don't need realtime answer? | 19:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: Pretty much (or if you were a developer) | 19:09 |
| Lapper | lot* | 19:09 |
| Otacon22 | a stupid example: firefox in clustering ? | 19:09 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: So "Standard personal computer" is the one for me? | 19:09 |
| bkar | xoqa-> where is your AP? how is it connected to the internet? related to your comcast connection? | 19:09 |
| JordiGH | This is weird. Dell says this thing should have 4 gigs of RAM. Ubuntu says it has 3.5 gigs. | 19:09 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: yeah - that'll be fine (keep in mind flash is broken right now) | 19:10 |
| xoqa | bkar: AP? | 19:10 |
| tainstvena | zdr | 19:10 |
| JordiGH | Not that I'm gonna gripe about half a gig of RAM, but I do wonder where it went off to. | 19:10 |
| harm | Hi, iam still having problems booting my windows partition.. grub doesnt want to seem to detect it | 19:10 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: You need ububtu x86_64 to see the rest of it | 19:10 |
| bkar | !ap | xoqa | 19:10 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ap - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:10 |
| danand | Otacon22 - No again the application would have to be specially rewritten to make use of the resources - ie all of your old machines | 19:10 |
| JordiGH | Cpudan80: Are you sure? | 19:10 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: Thanks a bunch. The broken flash is for everybody, no? | 19:10 |
| ikaruga3001 | otacon22: clusters are basically used to do stuff that can be processed separately ... for example: processing a movie file (applying filters etc.) | 19:10 |
| sooty | Hey guys, how can i check all of the ip adresses on my network? | 19:10 |
| Cpudan80 | Lapper: yep | 19:10 |
| bkar | xoqa-> AP == access point | 19:10 |
| Cpudan80 | !brokenflash | lapper | 19:10 |
| JordiGH | Cpudan80: Why didn't Dell install the 64bit Ubuntu then? | 19:10 |
| Lapper | Cpudan80: All right. Thanks for the help. | 19:10 |
| ubotu | lapper: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 19:10 |
| Otacon22 | hummm | 19:10 |
| bkar | sooty-> your box only? | 19:10 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: Dell has their head in the ground | 19:10 |
| ikaruga3001 | otacon22: however, an application still needs real-time access | 19:11 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: They pull the same BS with windows machines | 19:11 |
| JordiGH | Cpudan80: Actually, everything here works out of the box. It's kinda nice. | 19:11 |
| danand | ikaruga3001 - no - they can be made to communicate to solve a single problem using message passing libraried like pvm and mpi | 19:11 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: The problem is not with ubuntu (or windows) - it's a limitation of how much RAM bits you can encode with 32 binary digits | 19:11 |
| sooty | bkar, theres about 4 machines on the network, i want to no the ip adresses, but i can only use my machine,. not the other 3 | 19:11 |
| JordiGH | Cpudan80: Well, almost everything. If you didn't know about Compiz, you wouldn't be noticing that it's not working. ;-) | 19:11 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: It just so happends, that it's a little bit less than 4GBs | 19:11 |

| ikaruga3001 | danand: oh ok... | 19:11 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: Yeah I saw that..... I dunno much about it though, sorry | 19:12 |
| ikaruga3001 | danand: but we're still talking about specialized tasks right? | 19:12 |
| danand | ikaruga3001 - but that takes lots of effort :( | 19:12 |
| JordiGH | Cpudan80: I've heard contradictory stuff on the matter, that it's possible to see 4 gigs of RAM with 32bit systems and some highmem thing in Linux. | 19:12 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: THat's a dangerous hack - dont do it | 19:12 |
| bkar | sooty-> are you in the corporate environment? if at home, look at your dhcp server see which clients has subscribed to | 19:12 |
| casey_ | Can anyone help me setup my wireless card? | 19:13 |
| Cpudan80 | JordiGH: a similar hack exists for windows | 19:13 |
| aragorn | i put in my ipod. and i am at rhythmbox. but none of my songs will play! | 19:13 |
| Bam_ | I get an error opening Kate... is there a place where more detailed error logs can be found? | 19:13 |
| Cpudan80 | Bam_: usually /var/log -- or in the directory where you fired it up (try opening from the command line --- kate & ) | 19:13 |
| JordiGH | Cpudan80: I'm gonna wipe the hd and install Debian anyways. :-) I'm just trying to give Dell an honest and fair review of the lappy they gave me. Minus few snags like Compiz and some freedom issues, this thing is a real beauty. I'm overall very pleased with the Dellbuntu lappy. | 19:13 |
| sooty | bkar, its a home network,. i no for a fact there is at least 3 machines on the network, but the router site only shows 2 dhcp connections | 19:13 |
| Otacon22 | i wanted to use clusters to increase the power of my pc, not to disperse it | 19:13 |
| Bam_ | Cpudan80: thanks will try | 19:13 |
| chazco | Anyone here running a clean install of LAMP on 7.10? Can you post the default ports.conf? | 19:14 |
| bkar | Bam_-> you can try strace in the command line, can you launch strace commandlineforkate | 19:14 |
| danand | ikaruga3001 - I used clusters of machines running debian to solve engineering problems - Computational Fluid Dynamics. This involved splitting a problem up into small chunks that each machine would work on - each communicating their results to eachother | 19:14 |

| harm | Iam having some problems with grub.. it wont detect my windows partition! | 19:15 |
| JordiGH | HardDisk: A generalised box. A box somewhere in an Ubuntu server, and it ran into my minibox, my lappy. | 19:15 |
| danand | Otacon22 - again not possible in the manner you want to use it | 19:15 |
| ikaruga3001 | danand: yup... but doing basic stuff like word processing won't benefit | 19:15 |
| bkar | sooty-> and why can you not access those other 3 ? | 19:15 |
| daedra | danand: cool | 19:15 |
| grub | harm, why not? | 19:15 |
| HardDisk | miniboxes are for donuts. | 19:15 |
| bkar | harm back again? you have done what I suggested yes? | 19:15 |
| daedra | probs not much happening with game clusters though | 19:16 |
| HardDisk | harm, you will need to edit your grub | 19:16 |
| harm | grub: i dont know upgrade-grub wont find it.. and i added it manually but it keeps giving me errors about the device | 19:16 |
| danand | ikaruga3001 - no - the programs / application must be specially written to take advantage of all the pc's. If however you have a machine with several pocessors in it that may work | 19:16 |
| grub | harm, what error? | 19:16 |
| danand | daedra - cheers ;) i like it | 19:16 |

| daedra | I saw a nice encrypted set up in openbsd | 19:19 |

| spydon | which filesystem do you use tussey | 19:21 |
| olskolirc | when do I use ; | 19:21 |
| Cpudan80 | olskolirc: ; executes them 1 after the other | 19:21 |
| tussey | um | 19:21 |
| olskolirc | ok and what is && | 19:21 |
| tussey | what is the default for linux? | 19:21 |
| tussey | ZFS? | 19:21 |
| harm | bkar: its still not loading my XP | 19:21 |
| sooty | bkar, its not static,. should be dhcp but it isnt showing up | 19:21 |
| Cpudan80 | olskolirc: && will tell the second one to execute if and only if the first one succeeded | 19:21 |
| JordiGH | olskolirc: It's better to use && as a general rule. && means "execute next command if previous one was successful", ; means "just do these things, doesn't matter if the first command doesn't work." | 19:21 |
| tussey | spydon: whatever ubuntu does by default | 19:22 |
| olskolirc | ohhh ok | 19:22 |
| bkar | harm-> at last line you proly need to add boot right after chainloader +1 | 19:22 |

| bastid_raZor | mojojojo_; or you could mount the bin | 19:59 |
| sudobash | i see | 19:59 |
| ikonia | Cpudan80: why are you dd'ing a binary file to an iso | 19:59 |
| sudobash | yeah and they do provide us with great support | 19:59 |
| Cpudan80 | ikonia: he wanted it to be an iso | 19:59 |
| DRebellion | sudobash: next time, dont mention the details ;) | 19:59 |

| theunixgeek | IdleOne: dell.com/open | 20:05 |
| ikonia | yahcason: is there a device file /dev/sdb1 | 20:05 |
| yahcason | and '/dev/sdb1: the superblock could not be read | 20:05 |
| soundray | yahcason: when does this happen? | 20:05 |
| neocold | MrObvious, ok thank you for your help | 20:05 |
| yahcason | I am not sure, but to eliminate the problemn I chnaged the fstab | 20:05 |

| yahcason | does that mean I got a virus? | 20:05 |
| MrObvious | neocold: You're welcome. | 20:05 |
| ikonia | yahcason: no, it means your file system was corrupted | 20:05 |
| theunixgeek | IdleOne: is that the link you want? | 20:06 |
| yahcason | ok, so how would I change it or prevent it | 20:06 |
| yahcason | from happening again, because all of my home directories are gone | 20:06 |
| ikonia | yahcason: always shutdown your machine cleanly is the best advice | 20:06 |
| yahcason | ok, it is a server and I really didnt want it to shut down but I think something happened with the apache rebooting and having a password on the ssl certificate file | 20:07 |
| yahcason | is there any way I can get my home directories back? | 20:07 |
| soundray | yahcason: if your home directories were on /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb1 is not mounted any more after your fstab change, then you just have to mount that partition again | 20:07 |
| soundray | yahcason: try 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home' | 20:08 |
| yahcason | ok, that sounds reasonable, I will do so now, thanks | 20:08 |
| yahcason | cant find that partition I guess | 20:08 |
| === noor is now known as NoOrdinaryRabbit | ||
| soundray | yahcason: what partitions can you find? Check with 'sudo fdisk -l' and see if you recognize the one with your /home directories | 20:09 |

| soundray | yahcason: if you're unlucky, the entire /dev/sdb is dead | 20:10 |
| yahcason | ok, wow, I had a raid array and I am not sure if I set it up properly, but I noticed in the root home directory I have a new vmlinuz.old and initrd.img.old | 20:11 |
| ikonia | yahcason: thats just a kernel upgrade | 20:11 |
| soundray | yahcason: that doesn't sound like you're using ubuntu | 20:11 |
| ikonia | yahcason: unless you have changed them manually | 20:11 |
| yahcason | oh, ok | 20:11 |
| ikonia | yahcason: are you using ubuntu ? | 20:11 |
| yahcason | nope didnt do anything. Yes, ubuntu server | 20:11 |
| ikonia | yahcason: what version 6.06 ? | 20:11 |
| MrObvious | yahcason: If SDB is dead and you need to recover data I would highly suggest spending 89 bucks for Steve Gibson's hard drive software SpinRite. He developed it himself 20 years ago. grc.com is the site. If you have a RAID array you'll have to load each HD individually and run it outside of the array. | 20:11 |
| Cpudan80 | That SpinRite stuff isn't all its cracked up to be | 20:12 |
| mrmonday | what command can I use to output the given line of a file? | 20:12 |

| dehspehl | it's 100 bucks to /hope/ it works | 20:12 |
| ikonia | lymeca: no | 20:12 |
| lymeca | main and restricted are officially supported by Canonical Ltd. and universe and multiverse aren't? | 20:12 |

| Cpudan80 | Also his claims that it fixes the drive by re-magnetizing each block is just stupid | 20:13 |
| soundray | mrmonday: what do you know about the line? | 20:13 |
| mrmonday | soundray, I know its number | 20:13 |
| ikonia | yahcason: try mount a partition | 20:13 |

| Cpudan80 | dehspehl: Which has not been proven to do anything other than stress the drive | 20:13 |

| mrmonday | soundray, is there an easier way to do that? | 20:14 |
| Cpudan80 | dehspehl: I just think the guy needs to keep his mouth shut | 20:14 |
| soundray | mrmonday: there's a more straightforward way, I'm sure, but I'm not good with sed, awk etc. | 20:14 |
| pvl1 | ikonia, not at all. i mean phgysically prefer swap of ram | 20:14 |

| LjL | pvl1: ... why would it? | 20:14 |
| ikonia | pvl1: ???? that doesn't make sense | 20:14 |

| MrObvious | ramdum: Where did you get the .23 kernel? You must have enabled some third party repo. that has it because I can't upgrade. | 20:22 |
| LjL | ramdum: as you can see gutsy does *not* have kernel 2.6.23 | 20:23 |
| MrObvious | Wow 52kB for the kernel? That's tiny! | 20:23 |
| ramdum | hmm | 20:23 |
| soundray | MrObvious: they will work, but may not make as much of a difference | 20:23 |
| NoNameTheMighty | soundray, what I would really like is to downgrade to the one I was using before I upgraded this morning | 20:23 |

| LjL | Cpudan80: -ops please | 20:25 |
| ramdum | i did that as well LjL | 20:25 |

| ramdum | i have no idea why uname -r says 2.6.23 | 20:26 |
| Flare183 | Cpudan80: because sometimes one of them breaks | 20:26 |
| soundray | NoNameTheMighty: in that case, downgrading can be hairy. Still, you might have a go: do a 'cd /var/cache/apt/archives' and check whether the version you want is there: "ls wine*" | 20:26 |

| ICM | soundray... I just selected the option in cups "OR use PPD file.. " and I c/p'd the filepath, then it selected what brand the printer is (dell), then brought me to that | 20:56 |
| soundray | Hey guys, please help ICM: his printer appears to be supported by pxlmono.ppd -- but how to enable this particular one in feisty server? | 20:56 |
| deinspanjer | I'd like to log off that active X11 session and then I'm looking at using FreeNX to control the box in a headless fashion. Does that sound reasonable? Can anyone tell me how to politely shut down that X11 session? | 20:56 |
| broonsparrow | no. not for the new NTSF drive, but the FAT drive, that was mounting fine, is not mounting either | 20:56 |
| ICM | perhaps I should try another brand? | 20:56 |
| vocx | deinspanjer, maybe restart the X server, which takes care of mouse and keyboard detection, I think. | 20:56 |
| gatotsu | hello some oneknow how to join french irc ubuntu | 20:56 |
| deinspanjer | vocx: No, the problem is I have no PS2 ports on the box so I can't hook up a keyboard/mouse at all. :) | 20:57 |
| soundray | !fr | gatotsu | 20:57 |
| ubotu | gatotsu: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 20:57 |

| filthpig | huh, why doesn't rythmbox recognize FLAC files? I've set it to scan ~/Music, but it only reports mp3, not flac :s | 20:57 |
| gatotsu | ok ciao | 20:57 |
| ICM | soundray... its starting to print something.. I'm not sure what, but I think it may have worked this time | 20:57 |
| ICM | soundray: nevermind, false alarm, it was a result of me hitting a button on the printer for the test page :( | 20:58 |

| emma | I would like to do a fresh install of ubuntu. Is there a way to save everything in my home directory, and possibly, the preferences on some applications, so that I can easily transport them to the freshly installed ubuntu? | 21:21 |
| pipatron | soundray: Actually, I just found /usr/share/doc/acpid/ :) | 21:21 |

| Taggard | emma: Just move them to an external media | 21:21 |
| jack-desktop | MrObvious, I only need those two files, not the whole package | 21:21 |
| Cpudan80 | emma: sure, just backup your /home dir | 21:21 |
| magnetron | My ethernet card runs in 10Mb/s mode. How do i force it to run in 100Mb/s mode? | 21:21 |

| ikaruga3001 | tobias_: err linux | 21:22 |
| Shinma | emma: you just might have to change permissions when you copy it back over | 21:22 |
| emma | Does that save preferences like firefox settings? | 21:22 |
| pipatron | emma: In linux, everything you have configured, stored or changed as a user is stored in your home directory | 21:22 |
| tobias_ | magnetron, crdlb, ikaruga3001, thanks :) | 21:22 |
| Shinma | emma: when you copy it to the CD/copy it back it may not have the right permissions | 21:22 |
| emma | pipatron - Is that so? | 21:22 |
| pipatron | emma: Like, "/home/emma". | 21:22 |
| ikaruga3001 | tobias_: search google for linux and supported tv cards ... if linux supports it, ubuntu will too | 21:22 |
| DG19075 | emma, you can also copy /home contents to a USB drive if your /home isn't too big | 21:22 |
| emma | Shinma. I see, but I can overcome that as a super user right? | 21:23 |
| pipatron | emma: Don't forget all the "dotfiles" | 21:23 |
| Shinma | emma: yeah its simple, just when you copy it back over, make sure you chown it to emma (or your username), and chmod it for writing | 21:23 |
| emma | Oh yeah the dotfiles. | 21:23 |

| LukeLClient | Dell is heavily entwined with Windows, it probably uses windows software to operate | 21:27 |
| Taggard | LukeLClient: When I got it it worked | 21:27 |
| jack-desktop | MrObvious, how can I get just the file, and not the whole package? | 21:27 |
| Taggard | LukeLClient: Now it doesn't. This means I am missing drivers, I have no ideah ow to get them or where though. | 21:27 |

| jack-desktop | MrObvious, what command do i need to run to download the package? | 21:28 |
| soundray | Shinma: if you disable the DPMS shutdown, does it still freeze after a period of not being used? | 21:28 |
| Shinma | soundray: ive tried making sure DPMS is enabled in my xorg.conf as well as setting the Off option in it | 21:28 |
| Shinma | no | 21:29 |
| Shinma | it doesnt freeze | 21:29 |
| astro76 | Montego: Montego preferences > keyboard shortcuts, there's an entry for "Launch calculator" | 21:29 |
| LukeLClient | Try and find your chipset then b | 21:29 |
| LukeLClient | By looking at old webpages that show your dell model | 21:29 |

| Taggard | MrObvious: Wired. | 21:32 |
| MrObvious | Taggard: What kind of problems? | 21:33 |
| deinspanjer | astro76: Is that only needed when you add new repositories or is it sorta like emerge sync where you need to run it to see what new files exist on the repositories you already had? | 21:33 |
| Taggard | MrObvious: No network card detected. | 21:33 |

| Lr5 | Taggard: kk | 21:38 |
| MrObvious | Lr5: A room full of 1234 people (literally) needs as much text squeezed onto one line so it's easier to see responses to get support; also when 18 people ask a question at once, it's easier to do it that way. | 21:38 |

| bim | what are these magic ! commands? Do they cause some botic oracle to produce canned answers? | 22:20 |
| Stephmw | Ayabara: GreaseMonkey perhaps? | 22:20 |
| FireHazrd | vocx, what if you go and set a root password does that compromise the system? | 22:20 |
| circuitbomb | I tried to use the lzm2dir to unpack an .lzm file however term is saying the command is not available, so I was wondering how I could go about getting lzm2dir and the other subsequent usages dir2lzm etc...anyone have an idea? | 22:20 |
| BenderUnit22 | Ayabara: depends on your browser; it can definitely be done. | 22:20 |
| vocx | !bot | bim | 22:20 |
| ubotu | bim: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 22:20 |
| Ayabara | Stephmw: good tip. | 22:20 |
| mainr30 | im having issues with ubuntu | 22:20 |
| mainr30 | can someone hlep me | 22:20 |
| mainr30 | please | 22:20 |
| Ayabara | BenderUnit22: I'm on FF most of the time | 22:21 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz , i can't find it ... i'm using Xubuntu ?! | 22:21 |
| circuitbomb | whats up m,ainr30? | 22:21 |
| mainr30 | im very very badly in trouble | 22:21 |
| Pici | !ask | mainr30 | 22:21 |
| ubotu | mainr30: 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. :-) | 22:21 |
| mainr30 | my ubuntu desktop has gone to command line ONLY | 22:21 |
| astro76 | Ayabara: Edit > preferences > Content tab > Colors... | 22:21 |
| Ashfire908 | !ask | mainr30 | 22:21 |
| mhrnjad | mainr30: yes, .. , what's the problem? | 22:21 |
| Genius314 | That network icon in the top-right corner disappeared, telling me a dependency or something was missing. Is there a way to get it back? | 22:21 |
| Ashfire908 | stupid lag. | 22:21 |
| mainr30 | its gone to command line only | 22:21 |
| BenderUnit22 | Ayabara: there's basic bg/fg color control in FFs preferences. | 22:21 |
| mainr30 | like ubuntu server | 22:21 |
| circuitbomb | have you tried ctrl-alt backspace | 22:21 |
| mainr30 | me? | 22:21 |
| circuitbomb | yes | 22:21 |
| vocx | FireHazrd, not really. You can set the password as with most distros, but you sudo is quite convenient because you do not need an additional password nor log out of the current account. | 22:21 |
| mainr30 | well let me tell u something | 22:21 |
| Nikos | so if i create a user names george now and george logins and gives 'sudo something' sudo will grant him any access he wants to mess th sytem up? | 22:22 |
| mainr30 | a MAJOR factor... | 22:22 |
| geokeratz | furiousphil> when you are in the terminal,are there any menus? | 22:22 |
| mainr30 | this will take some explaining... | 22:22 |
| Dezine | Hello, I have a mouse that has two side buttons, how can I configure these? I want it so the one goes back in my browser history. | 22:22 |
| Nikos | sudo works with a user's password and not root's password? | 22:22 |
| astro76 | !enter | mainr30 | 22:22 |
| ubotu | mainr30: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:22 |
| bim | niko: only if /etc/sudoers lets him. | 22:22 |
| bastid_raZor | Nikos; if george has been added to the admin group | 22:22 |
| martyn | main30 CTRL+ALT+F7, otherwise startx | 22:22 |
| overridex | anyone have a tar of the WMD wiimote driver from forthewiin.org? the site's been down for quite a while... | 22:22 |
| mainr30 | i tried to follow a tutoiral on how to make your ubuntu look like a mac | 22:22 |
| bim | nikos: by default, the initial user has access via the admin group in /etc/sudoers, but other new users don't. | 22:22 |
| astro76 | Nikos: by default only the first user is in the admin group, you'll have to add new users explicitly | 22:22 |
| Nikos | bastid_raZor, if its a normal user? | 22:22 |
| mainr30 | and ever since then ive been getting wreird messages about video modes when i start ubuntu | 22:23 |
| mainr30 | just after grub | 22:23 |
| mainr30 | CAN ANYONE HELP? | 22:23 |
| mainr30 | please | 22:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Nikos; a normal user can not do things with sudo.. | 22:23 |
| astro76 | !please | mainr30 | 22:23 |
| vocx | !please > mainr30 | 22:23 |
| ubotu | mainr30: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 22:23 |
| Nikos | and if he tried sudo something? | 22:23 |
| Ayabara | BenderUnit22: oooh. that worked. :-) | 22:23 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz yes there are. i went to edit>preferences and checked all submenues there but there isn't any entry that could possibly solve my problem | 22:23 |
| Dezine | I'll look around online, thanks! | 22:23 |
| meoblast001 | hey | 22:23 |
| meoblast001 | ppls | 22:23 |
| mainr30 | can somsone help me pelase? | 22:23 |
| meoblast001 | lol | 22:23 |
| meoblast001 | i have a question | 22:23 |
| mainr30 | im very very stuck | 22:23 |
| BenderUnit22 | Ayabara: you're satisfied with that already? :) All the better. | 22:24 |
| Ayabara | not everything looks good though, so maybe greasemonkey has something better to offer | 22:24 |
| bastid_raZor | Nikos; if a user is not in admin group he does not have sudo rights | 22:24 |
| mainr30 | im having serious problems | 22:24 |
| Ayabara | BenderUnit22: not satisfied, but progress :-) | 22:24 |
| kama | goodmorning all | 22:24 |
| xomp | !ask | meoblast001 | 22:24 |
| ubotu | meoblast001: 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. :-) | 22:24 |
| geokeratz | furiousphil> http://blog.linuxconfig.org/disable-terminal-bell-debian-ubuntu/ this maybe? | 22:24 |
| Nikos | so that why in the install propcess ubuntu never asked me to define a root password | 22:24 |
| mhrnjad | Nikos: an error message is printed ("user is not in sudoers") | 22:24 |
| bim | installing kubuntu-desktop after xubuntu-desktop results is a spatter of kubuntu programs in the xubuntu menus. To where should I direct a bug report? x, k, or the united nations? | 22:24 |
| erUSUL | !root > Nikos | 22:24 |
| geokeratz | furiousphil> i don't know much about Xubuntu | 22:24 |
| Nikos | but it only have sked me for password for user 'nik' | 22:24 |
| kama | is there a way to use pidgin to communicate with MSN? | 22:24 |
| bastid_raZor | Nikos; exactly root does not have a password the admin group grants root rights. | 22:24 |
| BenderUnit22 | Ayabara: you might also want to investigate FF's userContent.css (Google to the rescue). | 22:24 |
| meoblast001 | i have a PS3 that runs fiesty and a laptop that runs gutsy..... on my laptop, dgen works perfect..... but on my PS3, the SDL screen (window or fullscreen) appears, and then i get a segfault | 22:25 |
| bim | nikos: sudo has a general theory. If the admin trusts you to have root access, you type YOUR password to prove that it's you, and you get the access. | 22:25 |
| mhrnjad | Nikos: you can set a password for root afterwards if you like | 22:25 |
| meoblast001 | can anyone help me with this? | 22:25 |
| mainr30 | i followed a turoial on how to make ubuntu look like a mac, after which i have been getting messages just after grub about how i entered an invalid number or something.... CAN ANYONE HELP!! PLEASE!!! | 22:25 |
| circuitbomb | Would anyone know how to go about unpacking/decompressing .lzm files? I have attempted to use lzm2dir in terminal only to be told the command does not exist. | 22:25 |
| mainr30 | i followed a turoial on how to make ubuntu look like a mac, after which i have been getting messages just after grub about how i entered an invalid number or something.... CAN ANYONE HELP!! PLEASE!!! | 22:25 |
| regeya | !repeat | 22:25 |
| ubotu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 22:25 |
| bim | mainr30: what tutorial? | 22:25 |
| martyn | main30 - see above or sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:25 |
| mainr30 | its online | 22:25 |
| mainr30 | ill send a link? | 22:25 |
| bim | mainr30: do what martyn said and report back if it doesn't work. | 22:26 |
| Ayabara | BenderUnit22: ok. thanks for the tip. I have a feeling that it may be hard to find something that looks good on all webpages in the world.. | 22:26 |
| xChat | Olá | 22:26 |
| mainr30 | it involved change ine grub splash | 22:26 |
| erUSUL | circuitbomb: i think 7z can open that files | 22:26 |
| neeto | I'm not too sure where to ask this, but does anyone know if it's possible to get Call of Duty 4 + punkbuster working through wine or cedega to play online? | 22:26 |
| mainr30 | does that mean anything? | 22:26 |
| regeya | dear god...a tutorial on making linux look like a mac caused someone to foul up grub...wow. just wow. I'm guessing the tutorial had a custom bootsplash. | 22:26 |
| mainr30 | yea | 22:26 |
| Nikos | i see | 22:26 |
| mainr30 | ill post a link | 22:26 |

| astro76 | !enter | mainr30 | 22:26 |
| ubotu | mainr30: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 22:26 |
| Nikos | what must i have to do? | 22:26 |
| Nikos | su to root? | 22:26 |

| mainr30 | http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac | 22:27 |
| meoblast001 | im really confused about the dgen problem.... i think it may be related to my PS3 needing to update to gutsy but im not sure | 22:27 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz thank you a lot, i changed the entry and restart my xserver now | 22:27 |
| Ashfire908 | hey where would setting up a server as a gateway which makes use of two ppp connections go on the ubuntu forums? | 22:27 |
| bim | nikos: or sudo /bin/zsh or the shell-of-your-choice. | 22:27 |
| astro76 | mhrnjad: sudo -i (or -s) is recommended | 22:27 |
| circuitbomb | erUSUL: thanks for the tip ill check it out :) | 22:27 |
| mainr30 | http://www.howtoforge.com/mac4lin_make_linux_look_like_a_mac | 22:27 |

| mainr30 | its fouled up my ubuntu | 22:28 |
| ikaruga3001 | neeto: cuz macs rock ... no, seriously that's what linux is all about -- freedom | 22:28 |
| mainr30 | is there anyway to fix it? | 22:28 |
| PriceChild | xChat, /join #ubuntu-pt | 22:28 |

| tdru | hi my sound is not working .. how do i fix it? | 22:29 |
| PriceChild | !offtopic | mainr30 | 22:29 |
| ubotu | mainr30: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 22:29 |
| bim | mainr30: I don't see any grub instructions there. | 22:29 |
| astro76 | !caps | mainr30 | 22:29 |
| ubotu | mainr30: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 22:29 |
| PriceChild | !doesn't work | tdru | 22:29 |
| ubotu | tdru: 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. | 22:29 |
| Ashfire908 | ikaruga3001, ok, i couldn't deside between servers and networking | 22:29 |
| mainr30 | im just shouting because everone is ignoring me | 22:29 |
| PriceChild | mainr30, if people are ignoring you, it is for a reason. | 22:29 |
| tdru | lol ... it doesnt recognize my sound card i think .. just has a big red circle over it not working | 22:29 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz unfortunately it didn't work ... (did a full system restart) | 22:29 |
| mainr30 | right.... | 22:29 |
| neeto | ikaruga3001: I guess | 22:29 |
| mainr30 | heyyy | 22:29 |
| mainr30 | its price child... | 22:29 |
| erUSUL | !sound | tdru | 22:29 |
| ubotu | tdru: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 22:30 |
| PriceChild | tdru, big read circle physically? or in a specific application? | 22:30 |
| mainr30 | its lens here | 22:30 |
| PriceChild | !offtopic > mainr30 | 22:30 |

| Nikos | thank you for allt he info | 22:30 |
| Nikos | good night guys! | 22:30 |
| bim | all: what mainr30 seems to need is instructions for putting grub back where it was before he did whatever he did. | 22:30 |

| furiousphil | geokeratz yes i did (opened it as sudo from the terminal) | 22:30 |
| mainr30 | im just experimenting here | 22:30 |
| mhrnjad | bim: did he change /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 22:31 |
| erUSUL | mainr30: follow the instructions to recover grub after windows | 22:31 |
| bim | mhrnjad: I can't tell. The page he pointed me to doesn't instruct such a thing, but he reports (rather unspecifically) a grub message. my first instinct was the same as yours. | 22:31 |
| reburn | Hey guys, I'm having problems getting my Compaq N610c to get back to life after putting it to sleep mode | 22:31 |
| furiousphil | i'm gettin used to xubuntu ignoring me editing configuration files ... | 22:31 |
| PriceChild | furiousphil, you'll probably need to reload whatever reads it? | 22:32 |
| xChat | Não quero ser indelicado e aborrecido mas não sei como encontrar o chat português | 22:32 |

| oprinichy | just started using ubuntu looking for a good web design program something along the lines of dreamweaver and already have quanta | 22:32 |

| erUSUL | xChat: no teu cliente irc teclea isto /join #ubuntu-pt hit enter | 22:32 |
| tdru | pricechild: http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/6389/screenshotiy4.png | 22:32 |
| mhrnjad | mainr30: if your /boot/grub/menu.lst is still intact, boot from the live CD, then issue the following command "grub-install --root-directory=<root-partition-mount-path> /dev/sda" | 22:32 |
| PriceChild | erUSUL, please message him that, he hasn't arrived there yet. | 22:33 |
| furiousphil | PriceChild i rebooted my system, hope thats enough of reload ;) | 22:33 |
| mhrnjad | mainr30: that should restore your boot loader (grub) configuration | 22:33 |
| furiousphil | if thats what you wanted to say (I'm from Germany ...) | 22:33 |
| tdru | pricechild: alsamixer | 22:33 |

| PriceChild | mattholimeau, image? nautilus does that by default (right click, burn to dvd) | 22:35 |
| BenderUnit22 | mattholimeau: brasero. | 22:35 |
| mattholimeau | PriceChild: awesome, thanks | 22:35 |
| PriceChild | mattholimeau, otherwise, for gnome i'd suggest brasero. | 22:35 |
| meoblast001 | does anyone else here use dgen, because it keeps returning segfaults | 22:35 |
| mattholimeau | yep, it's an image | 22:35 |
| ikaruga3001 | mattholimeau: sudo apt-get install k3b | 22:35 |
| PriceChild | mattholimeau, you don't need to install anything else then | 22:35 |
| erUSUL | mattholimeau: Places>cd/dvd Creator | 22:35 |

| geokeratz | furiousphil> how? | 22:36 |
| bim | shot in dark: anyone out there have a dell xps m1330 with a working built-in microphone? | 22:37 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz yeah it seems it was right to uncomment that line in the file ... i tested the system bell in xchat, and there it is still enabled | 22:37 |
| PriceChild | grrr tdru left :( | 22:37 |
| mainr30 | mahjnhad - i dont get far enough to go to system>administration etc... | 22:37 |
| martyn | main30 sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:38 |
| bim | mainr30: then follow his instructions to boot livecd and reconstruct grub. Using that screen put a bad screen resolution into your grub config. | 22:38 |
| mainr30 | hmm | 22:38 |
| mainr30 | i might just re-install ubuntu | 22:38 |
| bim | martyn: I don't know if he is getting as far as xorg starting, as opposed to a scrambled console. | 22:39 |
| dru | pricechild: can you help me? | 22:39 |
| bim | mainr30: if a reinstall isn't a giant tragedy, it might be the simplest path for you. | 22:39 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz thanks for your help. i will try to google for my prob and if it doesn't help, return | 22:39 |
| proxz | evening, im having trouble with WoW not remembering any settings i do to addons, i think its due to file permissions as i copied the WoW folder from a old useraccounts home, how can i make sure my current user has full access to all subfolders in gamefolder? | 22:39 |
| mhrnjad | mainr30: that's not a bad idea .. might take less time than all the fixes suggested.. | 22:39 |
| martyn | bim - alright - beyond my limited experience then! | 22:39 |
| PriceChild | dru are you tdru? | 22:39 |

| oprinichy | thanks i will take a look at it | 22:42 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: if you hit tab as you type, it will complete your entries correctly | 22:42 |
| sugaryeti24 | Hello, has anyone had any luck getting Joost working on Ubuntu 7.10? | 22:42 |
| Cpudan80 | mainr30: You have to add the packages for samba | 22:42 |
| erUSUL | mainr30: lamp does not includes samba | 22:43 |
| `X-TREME | hi | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | !samba > mainr30 | 22:43 |
| bim | mainr30: ubuntu will cheerfully deploy the LAMP components and also samba. It's just a matter of what you install and configure. | 22:43 |
| snikker | mhrnjad: i've already do that, but with no success... | 22:43 |
| mainr30 | but i can do that? | 22:43 |
| Cpudan80 | mainr30: LAMP is apache, mysql and PHP (and maybe phpmyadmin) | 22:43 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: chmod <username> aint correct i think | 22:43 |
| Symmetria | hrm, question, on installation how do I setup a mirror of the first 2 disks so that if one disk fails the boot system wont fail | 22:43 |
| mainr30 | so if i install LAMP server when i install ubuntu server i can install SAMBA too? | 22:43 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: DOH.... chown | 22:43 |
| bim | symmetria: you need to use the alternative CD. | 22:43 |
| erUSUL | !raid | Symmetria | 22:43 |
| `X-TREME | I am new to ububtu, I just installed it, can someone help me install drivers for my graphics card? | 22:43 |
| ubotu | Symmetria: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 22:43 |
| bim | mainr30: yes | 22:43 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz iit also seems to be a bit buggier, it does quite strange things: after 2 boots my panel disappeared and i had to add the xfce4-panel to the autostart-programs ... | 22:43 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi everytime I eject a DVD/CD I get an error message saying that the disc cannot be found. Sometimes it's a KDE crash screen (from Amarok I assume). How do I stop this annoying heckle | 22:43 |
| mainr30 | ok thanx | 22:43 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: ahhh thanks :P | 22:43 |
| PriceChild | `X-TREME, what card do you have? | 22:44 |
| `X-TREME | ati x1600 | 22:44 |
| mhrnjad | mainr30: LAMP and samba are different. The latter can be installed as follows: "sudo apt-get install samba" | 22:44 |
| sugaryeti24 | Ubuntu with Joost? Anyone have any success with that? | 22:44 |
| geokeratz | furiousphil> ok then , i was thinking about installing xfce in my old pc. nevermind, gnome has similar problems :( | 22:44 |
| `X-TREME | I downloaded this file from the ATI website, with a .run extension but I dont know what tod o with it. | 22:44 |
| ikaruga3001 | sugaryeti24: what's joost again? | 22:44 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: hmm operation not permitted | 22:45 |
| PriceChild | `X-TREME, sorry i've never used that card and can't help. | 22:45 |
| mainr30 | mhrnjad: thank you.. | 22:45 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: on all files | 22:45 |
| bim | `X-TREME: if you are sure it's authentic, then sudo sh PATHNAME_OF_.RUN | 22:45 |
| erUSUL | `X-TREME: do not use it... go to system>Admin>Restricted Drivers and enable the drivers there | 22:45 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: i was afraid of that... tack on a sudo: sudo chown ... | 22:45 |
| ossix | Hallo spricht man hier auch deutsch | 22:45 |
| `X-TREME | what do you mean authentic? | 22:45 |
| bim | `X-TREME: what he said. | 22:45 |
| BenderUnit22 | !de > ossix | 22:45 |
| furiousphil | geokeratz yeah for older PCs it is a good choice :) | 22:45 |
| sugaryeti24 | ikaruga3001: joost is the free application where one can watch television shows, it's made by the guys who created Skype. www.joost.com | 22:45 |
| mainr30 | can ubuntu server still function when ubuntu desktop is booted in a dual boot system? | 22:45 |
| mhrnjad | snikker: here's another approach, open /usr/lib/vmware/lib/wrapper-gtk24.sh | 22:45 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: i tried, it gave me u+rxw : no such file or directory | 22:45 |
| bim | `X-TREME: to install that file, you have to run it as root. If it's malware, it can do anything. | 22:46 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: what was the exact command that you typed? | 22:46 |
| rendero | hi, anybody knows how to start a script at startup not as root ? | 22:46 |
| `X-TREME | but I got it from the official ati website, what are the chances of that? | 22:46 |
| bim | `X-TREME: which is why using the restricted drivers is better. | 22:46 |
| ikaruga3001 | sugaryeti24: have tried googling for joost + ubuntu? | 22:46 |
| bim | `X-TREME: That's probably good enough, but the restricted driver icon is better. | 22:46 |
| `X-TREME | Wht are restricted drivers? | 22:46 |
| astro76 | rendero: after you login to the desktop or before? | 22:47 |
| erUSUL | rendero: add a call to it in /etc/rc.local for example | 22:47 |
| BenderUnit22 | rendero: "at startup" of what? | 22:47 |
| `X-TREME | Sorry i'm completely new to this | 22:47 |
| sugaryeti24 | ikaruga3001: yes, but the only instructions are for 7.04 and an older edition of wine | 22:47 |
| mhrnjad | snikker: in the vm_run() function add the following line "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3:$LD_PRELOAD" | 22:47 |
| bim | rendero: make an init.d script, and in it write things like su UNPRIVILEGED_USER_NAME do something. | 22:47 |
| rendero | erUSUL, but it will run as root | 22:47 |
| erUSUL | `X-TREME: is a program that will install and configure the drivers for you | 22:47 |
| `X-TREME | Where do I get that from? | 22:47 |
| sugaryeti24 | ikaruga3001: i'm just curious is ubuntu works with wine and joost since both have been updated, the previous instructions required a lengthy recompile of WINE | 22:47 |
| mhrnjad | snikker: which linux are you running? | 22:47 |
| rendero | BenderUnit22, after boot pc | 22:47 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: sorry... i apologize for wasting your time ... i gave you the wrong commands | 22:47 |
| erUSUL | `X-TREME: Go to the menu System>Admin>Restricted Drivers | 22:48 |
| KingD | Hi what is the deal with not being able to get restricted codecs such as flash, libdvdcss, xine-lib, libxinel? This is very discouraging ubuntu is great but having to wrestle with codecs is a pain will this ever be fixed? | 22:48 |
| snikker | mhrnjad: i've tryed also that, but nothing to do... i'm running kubuntu on amd64 machine... | 22:48 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: you first have to use chmod to give yourself ownership: sudo chmod <username> <files> | 22:48 |
| BenderUnit22 | rendero: is it a user script meant to start up with your X session? Or a system script that ought to run earlier on? | 22:48 |
| mhrnjad | kubuntu 7.10? | 22:48 |
| snikker | mhrnjad: yes 7.10 | 22:48 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: then give yourself read/write/exec permissions sudo chown u+rwx <files> | 22:48 |
| `X-TREME | ok and then? it says ATI Accelerated graphics driver - not in use | 22:48 |
| erUSUL | KingD: stupid USA laws (patents) | 22:48 |
| bim | rendero: repeat: use 'su' command in a standard /etc/init.d script to run something as a less privileged user. | 22:49 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: that should do it ... i just double checked on my machine | 22:49 |
| rendero | BenderUnit22, X does not matter | 22:49 |
| bim | `X-TREME: click the box to tell it to use it. | 22:49 |
| erUSUL | `X-TREME: mark the driver to be in use | 22:49 |
| rendero | bim, may be su is the correct, do you have an example ? | 22:49 |
| `X-TREME | When I try to enable it, it says "The software source for this package xorg-driver-fglrc is not enabled" | 22:49 |
| BenderUnit22 | rendero: just wondered about the desired timing. bims tip might be your best bet. | 22:49 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: no worries, im even wastin yours as i needed to run afk to take my daughter there :P | 22:49 |
| rendero | BenderUnit22, yes | 22:49 |
| KingD | erUSUL: can't ubuntu by the rights to use the codecs? | 22:49 |
| KingD | buy | 22:50 |
| erUSUL | `X-TREME: go to system>Admin>Software Sources and mark all the check boxes in the first tab | 22:50 |
| `X-TREME | ok | 22:50 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: does that command include subfolders and files ? | 22:50 |
| PriceChild | KingD, "ubuntu"? | 22:50 |
| snikker | mhrnjad: it worked on 7.10, but after the update of some packages it don't work... | 22:50 |
| KingD | yes | 22:50 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: "those commands" | 22:50 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: good question | 22:50 |
| PriceChild | KingD, what do you mean by "ubuntu"? | 22:50 |
| mhrnjad | snikker: I see.. | 22:50 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: tack on a -R to both | 22:50 |
| proxz | ikaruga3001: ok | 22:50 |
| bim | rendero: um, please read 'man su'. A typical example would be su someuser -c "unprivilege command&" | 22:50 |
| KingD | the founder of ubuntu | 22:50 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: sudo chown <user> -R <files> etc. | 22:50 |
| rendero | ok bim thx | 22:50 |
| PriceChild | KingD, right so mr shuttleworth... so you want him to buy *unlimited* distribution rights? | 22:51 |
| meoblast001 | does anyone use dgen? | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | KingD: every individual ubuntu user would have to buy that rights. And btw they are already given away a OS and thousans of programs do you as them to buy you the codecs too??? | 22:51 |
| meoblast001 | or have a powerpc based system | 22:51 |
| `X-TREME | erUSUL - Alright I did that; it downlaoded and now has finished downlaoding | 22:51 |
| meoblast001 | or know how i can install i386 debs on a Cell Broadband Engine? | 22:51 |
| KingD | can we buy those codecs? | 22:51 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi everytime I eject a DVD/CD I get an error message saying that the disc cannot be found. Sometimes it's a KDE crash screen (from Amarok I assume). How do I stop this annoying heckle | 22:51 |
| dru | pricechild: that artcile diddnt help .. i am still having problems, and on my restricted drived two things ar enot in use, how do i make them in use? | 22:51 |
| erUSUL | `X-TREME: use again the Restrited Drivers dialog to enable the driver once the dl is complete | 22:51 |
| ikaruga3001 | proxz: did it work? | 22:52 |
| PriceChild | dru, what are they listed as? | 22:52 |
| `X-TREME | alright thx so much erUSUL | 22:52 |
| mhrnjad | snikker: http://symbolik.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/vmware-server-104-and-kernel-26231-on-gutsy/ | 22:52 |
| erUSUL | KingD: you only have to enable certain repos and dl a few packages to enable the codecs | 22:52 |
| erUSUL | !mp3 > KingD | 22:52 |
| erUSUL | KingD: see the ubotu msg | 22:52 |

| Howbag | How to automaticly mount /dev/device to /path/ at startup? | 22:53 |

| ubotu | Howbag: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 22:53 |
| BenderUnit22 | Howbag: man fstab. | 22:53 |
| erUSUL | KingD: keep in mind that in some countries (USA) may be illegal ( see DMCA) to use some of that codecs/programs | 22:53 |
| dru | pricechild: to tell the truth im a DUMBASS when it comes to linux .. i couldnt figure out how to do anything they was sayin | 22:53 |

| Kodge | Im having some trouble, having recently been playing around with themes e.t.c I finally settled on one I liked, however the bottom panel, and all the icons on it, have become all behemoth and huge. here is a screenshot of what they look like now: http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/6995/screenshot2ve4.png and here is a screenshot of what they did look like: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1135/desktoppq4.png is there anyway I can get it b | 23:04 |

| jeff2 | when I try to compin Pidgin on Ubuntu, autogen.sh says "You must have glib-gettextize installed to compile Pidgin." where can I get this package? there is no apt-get package by this name, and I already installed gettext, and apt-cache search shows nothing obvious. | 23:05 |
| mhrnjad | Kodge: what is it? | 23:05 |
| X-TREME | Is there an easy way to install Beryl for Ubunto? I have version 7.10 | 23:05 |
| PriceChild | jeff2, why are you compiling it yourself? | 23:05 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: just out of curiosity: did you try resizing the panel with a couple of pixels? | 23:05 |
| WickedJester | Hey, is there an issue with flash non free plugin? | 23:05 |
| bim | X-TREME, use compiz. | 23:05 |
| xomp | X-TREME, Beryl is now compiz-fusion | 23:05 |
| PriceChild | X-TREME, beryl is dead, long live compiz-fusion (called desktop effects in ubuntu) | 23:05 |

| mhrnjad | X-TREME: gutsu = 7.10 | 23:06 |
| xomp | bim, that doesn't change the fact it's installed.. | 23:06 |

| alberto | *all | 23:07 |
| Kodge | Benderunit22: Nope, they're still all huge and behemoth | 23:07 |
| bim | xomp: fair enough. But it gray-screened me, so I find it a bit hazardous to recommend that people use it without reading up. | 23:07 |
| ompaul | X-TREME, it depends on your video card supporting it | 23:07 |

Infact i had the same problem as the live cd, but this site after like 30 secs/1 Minute i was preseted with a dialog saying that i should change my | 23:07 |

| ikaruga3001 | porcho: definitely the windows first... they'll take over the grub boot loader otherwise... | 23:08 |

| Kodge | BenderUnit22: Well we've tried our best. I was thinking of just creating a new user name and seeing if that sets them back to the normal size that ive grown to love. However, I dont fancy doing that as it'd mean having to move a tonneof files around | 23:11 |
| martyn | bad - i use a Belkin USB on the girlfriends (pretty old) laptop/Xubuntu. It works like a dream now but was a real bummer to set up initially (needed ndiswrapper). I think there will be better ones available if you search Ubuntu forums for wireless cards. | 23:11 |
| mohbana | anyone? bim did u get my message i posted above | 23:11 |
| bim | snikker: read up on /etc/modprobe.d is all I can tell you. | 23:11 |

| k1dugar | yes i have from friday | 23:12 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: you could go digging around in ~/gnome2 and gconf-editor... | 23:12 |

| PriceChild | VvWolverinevV, I do? | 23:14 |

| bigbluezephyr | hi room! | 23:14 |
| Kodge | BenderUnit22: Well, I can tell you it happened when the " Apperance " manager prompted that the theme id downloaded was suggesting I use a font for the specific theme, when doing so, everything on the panel, ( inc the panel itself ) went all beefy and nasty | 23:14 |
| k1dugar | im running testdisk now but its says two partitions 137MB and 1077MB as swap but i dint have swap. My root is missing | 23:14 |
| mohbana | erUSUL, is that all? | 23:14 |
| PriceChild | VvWolverinevV, I just play around with the settings at the bottom until it looks natural. I think different cameras allow different controls. | 23:14 |
| bim | mohbana, that should be enough. | 23:14 |
| RequinB4 | bim: from origional live cd - I can't boot the livecd, get an error i'm trying to fix by installing and changing drivers | 23:14 |
| Neskaya | PriceChild, well, how do I do it? | 23:14 |
| mohbana | just like to point out that, i was getting this even before install | 23:15 |
| PriceChild | Neskaya, no idea... i'd guess dd'ing but I find that scary :) | 23:15 |
| erUSUL | mohbana: then try to run X and see how it goes | 23:15 |

| X-TREME | oh ok | 23:16 |
| bastid_raZor | porcho; tehcnically you don't have to have any swap.. iti s wise to have it no matter how much RAM you have. | 23:16 |

| slaani | Good morning friends! I'm trying to get my integrated mic to work on an inspiron 1520, but it's not going smoothly at all. Clicking the 'test mic' button yields a fairly long error about inability to construct a pipeline between different audio sources/players. | 23:16 |
| bim | k1dugar, looks like you have written over your root. | 23:16 |
| X-TREME | when i think of server i think of something pertaining to the internet so i was just wondering | 23:16 |
| bim | RequinB4, boot a knoppix CD. it talks to everything. | 23:16 |
| erUSUL | k1dugar: well try gpart... i'm afraid that the LUKS partition may confuse these kind of tools... | 23:16 |
| VvWolverinevV | PriceChild: when i first installed it it looked fine, but now it's really blue and i can't get it back with the controls at the bottom | 23:17 |
| DJ_Danni | I have PHP My Admin and i chance the Password insite the mysql database and also in the Config and now i canðt loggin. Can somone help me with this? | 23:17 |

| RequinB4 | bim - knoppix doesn't boot... | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | k1dugar: that's all i can offer what you've done to the disk is very destructive.... | 23:17 |
| porcho | bastid_raZor: I've ready somewhere that one should creat a swap partition that's twice the size of the available ram mem. is that so? | 23:17 |
| Kodge | BenderUnit22: changed the font, dot size, and still the panel and icons are staying massive | 23:17 |
| erUSUL | porcho: depends on how much you have | 23:17 |
| PriceChild | VvWolverinevV, no idea sorry. | 23:17 |
| bastid_raZor | porcho; no.. 1GB of swap is plenty.. a rule of thumb is your swap should be the same size as your RAM | 23:17 |
| wolferine | can I do an NFS mount on /media/sd** from another box on my LAN ? | 23:17 |
| bim | RequinB4, I'm really impressed. I thought knoppix could boot anything except a ford taurus. Sorry, all I can recommend is putting your hard drive into some other system and performing surgery there. | 23:18 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: what I don't get is your panel staying massive. Surely you can resize it to some sane value, no? | 23:18 |
| nomopofomo | is there anyone available who could help me understand why i can't build apache from source? | 23:18 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: I thought it was only the icons retaining their size in a smaller panel... | 23:18 |
| bim | nomopofomo: apache what? | 23:18 |
| nomopofomo | 2.2.8 | 23:18 |
| wolferine | nomasteryoda, why from source, and there is an #apache channel | 23:18 |

| bim | nomopofomo, did you run ./configure? | 23:19 |
| martyn | DJ_Danni - have you used command line with MySQL before ? | 23:19 |
| Kodge | BenderUnit22: Oh wait, it's capped itself at 33 pixels, I can't go any lower, only higher | 23:19 |
| BenderUnit22 | That's odd. :): | 23:19 |
| mohbana | bim, do i need to restart or just restart x? as in Ctrl+alt+backspace | 23:19 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: try opening gconf-editor. | 23:19 |
| bim | mohbana, usually the later, but if stumped you might as well try the former. | 23:20 |
| nomopofomo | bim: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables is the last thing it says when i run ./configure | 23:20 |
| k1dugar | bim: erUSUL: ubotu: Im running gpart now. I think there is very less hope to recovery anything. I have to reinstall this BOX | 23:20 |
| Kodge | BenderUnit22: Ok, what do I do from here? | 23:20 |
| DJ_Danni | martyn what command? | 23:20 |

| PriceChild | wolferine, yes? | 23:20 |
| mohbana | bim, can you go here the first post is exactly what i was getting until i installed of the alternate cd once i did that after install the same thing happened until i reverted back to the vesa driver | 23:21 |
| bim | nomopofomo, it drops files that contain the detailed log of the problems. Chances are you need to install 7 or 8 'dev' packages. | 23:21 |
| mohbana | bim, http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/327727-nvidia-8800-gts-ubuntu.html | 23:21 |

| nomopofomo | bim: the only file that appears to be a log file is config.log | 23:22 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: don't get your hopes up. :/ I meant directing you to apps->panel->default_setup->toplevels->bottom_panel | 23:22 |
| mohbana | ok im gonna post again | 23:22 |
| mohbana | thanks | 23:22 |
| bim | nomopofomo, look in the bottom of config.log. | 23:22 |
| PriceChild | dru, I'm sorry I don't know what to do. Googling your problems lets me see other people with the same problems yet no solution. | 23:22 |
| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: click on that and check if you can modify the value of size. | 23:22 |
| PriceChild | dru, most seem to be affecting people that have recompiled alsa themselves. | 23:22 |

| vocx | nomopofomo, in order to get all the common utilities to compile C or C++ source code, install "build-essential". What do you want to compile? And why? | 23:22 |
| bim | k1dugar, if you really overwrote the data, and I expect that you did, you are beyond help unless you have a time machien. | 23:22 |

| RequinB4 | PriceChild - long story short, "moniter out of range" error appears after (appearing to be) any gfx program loads. After trying boot options on live CD, i get alt CD which works fine except my HDD needs to be fsck'd, which i need a shell to do | 23:23 |
| bim | nomopofomo, what's the next to last thing. | 23:23 |
| mohbana | if anyone has any idea on what to do please help, my problem; hi, what do i have to do to get my nvidia 8800gts to work. My situation is exactly the same as this person described in the first post (http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/327727-nvidia-8800-gts-ubuntu.html), i had to install it via the alternate cd now ive done that my monitor resolution is very low. Infact i had the same problem as the live cd, but this site after like 30 secs/1 Minute | 23:23 |
| mohbana | i was preseted with a dialog saying that i should change my settings in order to boot into x. My monitor isn't detected either. PLEASE HELP, i feel like giving up | 23:23 |

| DJ_Danni | martyn how do i do that command? | 23:25 |
| emma | too bad. If home was a separate partition then I wouldn't have any trouble. | 23:25 |
| BenderUnit22 | Change it to 24 and log out / back in again (or kill -HUP `pidof gnome-panel`, though I'm not sure that's enough). | 23:25 |

| bim | nomopofomo, cd to srclib/apr and run configure, and see what you see there. | 23:25 |
| DJ_Danni | ok | 23:25 |
| bim | k1dugar, if you could fix your part table, you'd get that other file system back, yes. | 23:25 |
| nomopofomo | bim: thanks, will do | 23:26 |

| BenderUnit22 | Kodge: the values aren't retained in gconf-editor? | 23:27 |
| _snookie | I have a quick question with the install, hoping an admin can help me really quickly | 23:27 |
| dkbg | how would I be able to move the boot folder I have currently under /, to an existing boot partition | 23:27 |
| BenderUnit22 | Or are they, without any noticeable effect on the panel? | 23:27 |
| VvWolverinevV | when i try to reset to default settings in luvcview, i get these errors: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53609/plain/ does anyone know why? | 23:27 |
| Kodge | BenderUnit22: Hm? | 23:27 |
| techgeek40 | I installed the drivers - at least I think I did - put the card in - rebooted and it sits at the screen loading scripts (/etc/rc.local) ]OK] and I have to do ALT+F2 to get to a command prompt to put in my user name and password - but I get no "desktop" it's all command lines | 23:27 |

| ubotu | _snookie: 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. :-) | 23:28 |
| martyn | DJ_Danni. Do you know your own user name and password for the MySQL server? (Don't reveal them...) | 23:28 |
| BenderUnit22 | The values you changed in gconf-editor -- if you log out and back in again, are they still there, or back to whatever it was (33?)? | 23:28 |
| Kodge | BenderUnit22: I don't understand | 23:28 |
| wolferine | techgeek40, you installed the driver, then inserted the card ? | 23:28 |

| _snookie | dkpg: you could try to reconfigure grub with ubuntu | 23:34 |

| loke | _snookie: You're in trouble. You can't quite repair that folder without running into horrible issues later. | 23:45 |
| techgeek40 | Odysseas: when I type it - at the terminal window - I hit enter and it just taks me right back to richard@desktop | 23:46 |
| _snookie | loke: actually, I did repair it, my python installation was broken and couldn't figure it out, but everything else ran fine | 23:46 |
| martyn | DJ - use previous posted command - mysql -u [username] -p <ENTER> | 23:46 |
| daxroc | Which are the best nvidia drivers , I'm using an 7300gt | 23:46 |
| venger | _snookie: did you have apt/dpkg reinstall all existing packages? | 23:46 |
| martyn | This is much safer than adding your password to end of that line... | 23:46 |
| filthpig | are there no equalizer plugins for ubuntu/rythmbox? | 23:46 |
| _snookie | venger: yes, apt-get could not reinstall two python programs, an admin earlier this week could not figure it out | 23:47 |
| techgeek40 | IndyGunFreak: I don't have a modem - the mother board doesn't have it - and in the bios - nothing about modem is listed - that I can be 100% sure of - | 23:47 |
| loke | filthpig: As far as I know, Rhythmbox is still lacking an equalizer. | 23:47 |
| techgeek40 | <---built his computer - no modem - simply onboard nick card | 23:47 |
| alinux-lb222 | hi all has anyone had problems connecting to a WEP wireless network with SKA "Shared Key" ? It works with XP but its not working on Ubuntu when I change the AP to Open it works..I am using Wireless Assistant to connect and I choose the SHARED checkbox | 23:47 |
| BetaTest | How do I make sure that /dev/dsp is not being used? | 23:47 |
| loke | BetaTest: lsof /dev/dsp | 23:47 |
| wolferine | http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: if you built your computer, then its even more likely you have an onboard modem, and you just didn't put the connections on it. | 23:47 |
| austin | hi | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgee | 23:47 |
| LinuxGrasshopper | anyone know why noone is talking on the ubuntu-server channel? | 23:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: i've done that numerous times | 23:48 |
| BetaTest | loke then would I lson /dev/dsp to enable? | 23:48 |
| DJ_Danni | martyn dose not woork #1045 - Access denied for user 'djdanni'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 23:48 |
| loke | BetaTest: no. lsof /dev/dsp tells you if anything's using /dev/dsp | 23:48 |
| austin | so then why is linux better than windows lol | 23:48 |
| venger | _snookie: i'd use this situation as a chance to partion things up where you data is seperate of root. could you not install a non raid drive for an os and use that? | 23:48 |
| BetaTest | lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuseblk file system /media/exharddrive | 23:49 |
| BetaTest | Output information may be incomplete. | 23:49 |
| BetaTest | ? | 23:49 |
| techgeek40 | No - there isn't even a connect in the back for it - simply a nic card - no modem - this MB is a P4M900 Micro 775 - | 23:49 |
| daxroc | for innovation windows lags way behind linux | 23:49 |
| _snookie | venger: but than I would have to install it again? I just have to figure out how to make the installer not reformat my raid drisks and only set them up to be software raided | 23:49 |
| martyn | DJ - only alternative that I am aware of is mysql -u root -p [ENTER] then enter the root password for MySQL (NOT the Ubuntu Linux sudo password). | 23:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: you're not listening to a word i'm saying, so there's no reason to continue... but restricted, isn't going to just pick up hardware that isn't present, open a terminal and enter "lspci" and see if your modem is listed there | 23:50 |
| venger | _snookie: i was hoping someone would chime in on the reinstall, but if you dont get confirmation that mkfs wont be run you could be screwed | 23:50 |
| DJ_Danni | martyn i have also tryed the root | 23:50 |
| judgen | Ive got video flickering with all players.... got any ideas? | 23:50 |
| loke | judgen: HAve you got the restricted drivers installed, as well as the proper codecs? | 23:51 |
| venger | _snookie: i'm guessing your "backup" is your raid setup as opposed to an offline backup | 23:51 |
| DJ_Danni | martyn same error with root | 23:51 |
| daxroc | Any one know if its possible to have a composted desktop with an wacom tablet (with pressure) ? | 23:51 |
| wolferine | http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues | 23:52 |
| harry__ | kde chat? | 23:52 |
| techgeek40 | IndyGunFreak: I am listening - two things: NO modem - that I promise you - this motherboard simply doesn't have one - there is no connection for in the back nor in the bios and even the manual clearly stats no onboard modem | 23:52 |
| techgeek40 | Second | 23:52 |
| martyn | DJ - I am really sorry but I cannot help you any further then. I can tell you that the problem is not the PHP myAdmin - it is with the mysql logins. That is where you need to aim your questions... sorry couldn't help further. | 23:52 |
| _snookie | venger: I got it, the install isn't very user friendly with raid. It detected my partitions as raid and then figured out what kind of raid they were. In other words, all the raided drives and their partitions. If I select that I have to change it to "use this drive" and then set the mount point, and then "do not format this drive" | 23:52 |
| techgeek40 | I did go into the Restricted drivers - the only thing listed is the lucent entry - nothing else | 23:52 |
| judgen | loke, i am currently using VLC and nvidia-glx-new with working compiz | 23:52 |
| pfwdtech | Evening | 23:52 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: the only solution I can think of, since the Restricted Drivers Manager doesnt detect your card, is to either download the driver from the NVIDIA site, or sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx and then dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. This isnt guaranted to work though. | 23:52 |
| * IndyGunFreak wanders off to offtopic | 23:52 | |
| DJ_Danni | ok thangs | 23:52 |
| pfwdtech | How's it all going? | 23:52 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: I'd use the nvidia driver from the nvidia site if I were you | 23:53 |
| venger | _snookie: sounds good | 23:53 |
| techgeek40 | Odysseas: i did the sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx - I will then take all the suggestions - including indy's and do the dpkg at the terminal window | 23:53 |
| venger | _snookie: i assume you are using the alternate install disk, i haven't even messed with that | 23:53 |
| _snookie | venger: the server install cd | 23:53 |
| _snookie | venger: thanks for your help, I greatly appreciate it | 23:54 |
| techgeek40 | Odysseas: Okay I will try the driver from the web site - thank you Odysseas and IndyGunFreak | 23:54 |
| techgeek40 | <---away trying the suggestions | 23:54 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: be sure to read the README file for instructions though | 23:54 |
| martyn | DJ - read this - might help: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/171366 | 23:54 |
| techgeek40 | Will do | 23:55 |
