| neko_ | hi people ! | 00:04 |
| jack | this seems to be a spyware behaviour which makes me confused because spyware does not exist on linux | 00:04 |
| jack | how can i solve this problem? | 00:05 |
| unop | Symmetria, see !raid | 00:05 |

| Plen0x | But I can through nautilus, why? | 00:06 |
| neko_ | with not any action from you ? | 00:06 |
| jack | neko_: no without any action from me | 00:07 |
| unop | jack, are you sure it's not something kopete supports? in other words, did you accidentally configure it to do something like this? | 00:07 |
| jack | sometimes it sends the links when i am idle | 00:07 |
| neko_ | damn | 00:07 |
| neko_ | what is this link ? | 00:07 |

| unop | Juan, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-492285.html (see the last post about installing alsa-oss and reconfiguring firefoxrc) | 00:12 |
| Juan | unop, doesnt work on opera either, think that would help? | 00:13 |
| pfwdtech | I have a problem with my ssh setup. I can only access my server from within the network (Home network) I cant however access my server from outside my network. For example I can access my home server from work. Do I have to do something with my router ports? | 00:13 |
| wolferine | http://www.pastebin.ca/873925 NFS issues | 00:13 |
| jack | neko_: as you know obviously, you cannot log on MSN on two different computers with the same account, so to answer your question, no i am not logged on another computer with the same account | 00:13 |
| crimsun | jengle: yes, but it's somewhat messy. | 00:13 |
| crimsun | jengle: I'm working on resolving that for 8.04. | 00:13 |
| neko_ | i didn't know it was msn :) | 00:13 |
| odysseas | pfwdtech: ssh uses port 22 | 00:13 |
| unop | Juan, you might to use alsa-oss to start up opera or any other app depending on java for sound | 00:13 |
| Moersie | kann mir mal jemand helfen | 00:14 |
| pfwdtech | Sorry I ment to say I CANT access my sever at home via work | 00:14 |
| odysseas | pfwdtech: unless you configure it otherwise | 00:14 |
| jack | neko_: do you have any idea how to help or you are just asking me questions? | 00:14 |
| neko_ | jack: maybe you would have a try with pidgin see if it behave the same | 00:14 |
| Moersie | wie kann ich mit euch reden? | 00:14 |
| unop | pfwdtech, you need the router forwarding port 22/tcp to the ssh server | 00:14 |

| dennisss | i try now odysseas, ty | 00:15 |
| jkapsner | I've got a problem with my dual boot, windows somehow disappeared from the dual boot menu. | 00:15 |
| neko_ | jack: okey, but try, if it behave differently than kopete, we could be sure the problem comes from kopete | 00:15 |
| pfwdtech | Ah ok I will allow access to that port. Is there any way of logging who has been in /out for security reasons? | 00:15 |
| unop | jack, well you use linux/tux -- a penguin -- that doesnt make sense | 00:16 |
| jkapsner | is there a way to get windows back into my dualboot menu? | 00:16 |
| neko_ | it's about methodology to find a way out with your strange problem | 00:16 |
| jack | unop: obviously i were joking about the bird thing | 00:16 |

| unop | jack, the jokes flawed then :p | 00:16 |
| jack | unop: i only try, maybe my jokes are lame but this doesnt stop me from trying | 00:17 |
| techgeek40 | Okay - well seems there are a few issues i have to clear up first | 00:17 |
| techgeek40 | One being a kernal issue - but | 00:17 |
| jkapsner | odysseas, I tried the command you suggested, terminal can't find the startupmanager. | 00:17 |
| jengle | i'm trying to get xmms2 to work properly with sound... i've actually had the program work once before but when i rebooted it didn't work anymore | 00:17 |
| RequinB4 | !enter | 00:18 |
| ubotu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 00:18 |
| unop | joe_, maybe you could try creating a symlink to firefox -- sudo ln -s $(which firefox) /usr/bin/mozilla | 00:18 |
| techgeek40 | I am reading the installing for the Nvidia drivers off the web site and it is saying I have to stop X how do I do that? | 00:18 |
| jengle | i receive this error several times: Sample format (16) not available for playback. | 00:18 |
| techgeek40 | Well, actually there is this | 00:18 |
| jengle | it's an ALSA problem, but i can't find anything on the web about fixing it | 00:18 |
| bkar | techgeek40-> /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 00:18 |
| unop | jack, j/k -- no hostility, joke appreciated :) | 00:18 |
| filthpig | is there some way to convert an entire folder from flac to mp3? I have approx 100 gb with flac, so it would be nice to convert all of it without human interference... | 00:18 |
| techgeek40 | It is saying set runlevel like 3 - in the inittab it is saying it is at /etc/inittab but I can't find a file like that | 00:18 |
| RequinB4 | W00T i finally got a linux root shell on my comp! Now can someone step me through fscking my HDD via a shell? | 00:18 |
| techgeek40 | bkar - okay thank you | 00:18 |
| joe_ | unop: when you say (wich firefox) do I put the version? | 00:19 |
| askvictor | I'm trying to connect my windows box to my ubuntu box via samba, but it won't accept the password, Any ideas? | 00:19 |
| ardchoille | techgeek40: to stop xorg: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop to start it again: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 00:19 |
| jack | unop: i apologize if you thought i were hostile, i am a nice person with a lame sense of humour | 00:19 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> you should only fsck unmounted partitions | 00:19 |
| unop | joe_, no .. $(which firefox) is part of the command -- copy and paste that command as-is | 00:19 |
| joe_ | k thanx | 00:19 |
| ardchoille | techgeek40: But save all your work before stopping x | 00:19 |
| techgeek40 | Okay and where would the runlevel be at ? It's saying something about se the default to three - | 00:19 |
| techgeek40 | <---nothing running that needs to be saved -= thank god lol | 00:20 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: follow this if you want to install manually | 00:20 |
| BetaTest | I have a Windows partition on the harddrive, how do I get of it so the entire HDD is used for Ubuntu? | 00:20 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 00:20 |
| bkar | techgeek40-> runlevel will telll you which level you are on | 00:20 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - at this point i have little experience, so that would be just, say 'unmount /dev/hda' ? | 00:20 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> you can not unmount that if you are booted of it too | 00:20 |
| fismoll8 | hey guys--I'm trying to set up a dual boot with windows and ubuntu gutsy.

| unop | RequinB4, firstly, fsck-ing a disk is not something to take lightly, secondly, why do you want to fsck a disk: | 00:21 |
| unop | ? | 00:21 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - i'm off a knoppix cd | 00:21 |
| neko_ | i want to add a new filetype for nautilius to handle, how do i manage this ? | 00:21 |
| Al2O3 | is there a way to instruct apt-get to install repository packages, and if so how much drive space would it all take up ? | 00:21 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> answer unop first..why the need to fsck? | 00:21 |
| Al2O3 | yes, all packages | 00:21 |
| RequinB4 | I keep getting a I/O error for the HDD while trying to partition my drive via the text installer | 00:21 |
| jkapsner | odysseas, did you see my message? | 00:21 |
| techgeek40 | Odysseas: I did get an error about the kernal - can I past that to the web site (i think it's !paste | 00:21 |
| techgeek40 | !paste | 00:21 |
| 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) | 00:22 |
| RequinB4 | I only just recently got any kind of command over this box aka a shell | 00:22 |
| unop | RequinB4, fsck is not the tool for the job -- you need something like smarttools to check the disk for errors | 00:22 |
| dennisss | who can help me on prv, how to make the desktop cube on v 7.10 ? please.... | 00:22 |
| ardchoille | Al2O3: You want to install every package from every repo? | 00:22 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> okay, now since you are on a liveCd, you can fsck thee /dev/hda | 00:22 |
| odysseas | jkapsner: sudo aptitude install startupmanager cant find the package? | 00:22 |
| Shpook | Oh, i forgot to add something. This could possibly be related to the wireless.jammin | 00:22 |
| jkapsner | no odysseas, it doesn't seem to find it. | 00:22 |
| Al2O3 | ardchoille: at times, yes :) but honestly, it is just a question of morbidity | 00:22 |
| Shpook | oops | 00:22 |
| RequinB4 | unop bkar - All i have write now is a root shell and no internet access | 00:22 |

| ardchoille | Al2O3: installing every package from every repo wouldn't even be possible. and if you happened to manage it, that would create a huge mess, imo | 00:23 |
| Zasch | Hello. Is there a way to tell Ubuntu not to bother me about updating a specific program? | 00:23 |
| odysseas | jkapsner: that's odd, it should find it, try this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto?highlight=%28grub%29 | 00:23 |
| RequinB4 | unop bkar - i was going to alt install so i can fix a "moniter out of range" error i have trying to boot any kind of x | 00:23 |
| unop | RequinB4, what OS/Distro are you running to have the root shell up? | 00:23 |
| techgeek40 | Here is the log about the kernel error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53615/ | 00:23 |
| RequinB4 | Knoppix | 00:23 |
| RequinB4 | 5.2 | 00:23 |
| IdleOne | tinman: firefox is a resource hog and I am not sure about skype but probably eats zalot also | 00:24 |
| techgeek40 | The error was basically a kernel source tree couldn't be found | 00:24 |
| IdleOne | zalot/alot | 00:24 |
| Shpook | Okay, as I was saying, When I try to update, I get the error "unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file." After a reboot, it tells me my password is incorrect when I try to update. | 00:24 |
| joe_ | unop: gotta tell ya man, It worked. thanx!!! :D | 00:24 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: yeah you need to install some packages first, did you see the link I gave you? | 00:24 |
| _Martin23254 | need help, I've changed my motherboard due to system problems, now my harddrives are not recognized. What do I do? | 00:24 |
| tinman | IdleOne: all, is there somethin i can do other then install xubuntu, IdleOne ? | 00:24 |
| joe_ | I love this place, you all are so helpful :D | 00:24 |
| filthpig | is there some way to convert an entire folder from flac to mp3? I have approx 100 gb with flac, so it would be nice to convert all of it without human interference... | 00:24 |
| jaylaani | hi guys | 00:24 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | join #fluxbuntu | 00:25 |
| techgeek40 | The one about the nvidia manual - yes I have that open in a browser | 00:25 |
| th0r | tinman:if you can do one thing....install more ram. That is probably the issue with firefox and skype | 00:25 |
| RequinB4 | unop bkar - 'cd dev' then 'ls' gives me ... hda hda1 hda2 hdc hdd ... | 00:25 |
| techgeek40 | I take it that is where I will find all the info I need | 00:25 |
| odysseas | techgeek40: it says which packages you need | 00:25 |
| IdleOne | tinman: try using epiphany browser. use synaptic to install it or apt-get whatever you prefer | 00:25 |
| techgeek40 | Okay - will do - thank you again | 00:25 |
| unop | joe_, yw | 00:25 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> am not familiar around knoppix livecd, type mount instead to see what is mounted, | 00:25 |
| venger | _Martin23254: not recognized in the motherboard bios? | 00:26 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> if none is mounted, fdisk -l to see what partitions it can possibly mount | 00:26 |
| tinman | Ahh, thanks IdleOne, also very little of the swap is used, i know only some tasks are kept in swap, but is there a way to make my computere utilize more swap | 00:26 |
| IdleOne | tinman: I dont know . can try looking on the forums or ask in here | 00:27 |
| unop | RequinB4, in the shell - does this command bring up anything -- man testdisk ? | 00:27 |
| bkar | tinman-> you dont want your process to be swapped, its preferable to stay in the ram | 00:27 |
| Ashfire_Server | i'm trying to make it so i can access my computer from the internet via vnc. My computer's Internet (the remote computer) runs through a ubuntu server acting as a gateway. how do i get to the remote desktop? | 00:27 |
| tinman | IdleOne: thank you | 00:27 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - thx for those commands... mounted (important) /dev/hdc, could mount /dev/hda1 /dev/hda2. hda2 is bootable with a bunch of blocks, so i'd assume thats my window$ one i want to erase/parition | 00:27 |
| tinman | bkar: ahh, i am not really sure, guess i will have to read on swap | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | tinman: seems ram is better for the processes. assume ram handles it faster/better | 00:27 |
| IdleOne | as per bkar | 00:27 |
| Chat452 | mount -t ext3 /mnt/usbdrive | 00:28 |
| Chat452 | mount: only root can do that | 00:28 |
| RequinB4 | unop - manual is there | 00:28 |
| tinman | Are there processes that i can kill maybe? i have turned off bluetooth and someother stull | 00:28 |
| tinman | stuff* | 00:28 |
| emma | If I buy any external hard drive from best buy this evening can I expect it will work with Ubuntu? | 00:28 |
| unop | RequinB4, ok, if you encounter problems with partitioning the disk -- you can use testdisk to check the disk | 00:28 |
| RequinB4 | unop so just 'testdisk' in a shell | 00:29 |
| IdleOne | !hardware | emma check this list | 00:29 |

| Shpook | My whole list of problems: Wireless is detected, but never connects to network. System says my password is incorrect, when it worked previously. Some programs(like Firefox) never open. And when I type, some letters on the keyboard are replaced with numbers(very annoying and crippling.) This is on a Gateway laptop, and I had to change my xorg.conf to use the right resolution, and had to install and use ndiswrapper to get the wireless card | 00:29 |

| RequinB4 | unop - how would i get out of the manual | 00:29 |
| unop | Chat452, you've got the command wrong -- and you need sudo | 00:29 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> what were you attempting to do again? recover some data? | 00:29 |
| odysseas | Shpook: your keymap is probably wrong | 00:29 |
| Shpook | how* | 00:29 |
| unop | RequinB4, press q or ctrl+x | 00:29 |
| jkapsner | odysseas, fyi, this happened when I was updating Ubuntu and restarting the computer to install new updates. Maybe that eliminated windows from the grub bootup menu? | 00:29 |

| Chat452 | err wait | 00:30 |
| Chat452 | no it wasn't | 00:30 |
| Chat452 | what I mean is that I can mount other partitions as a user | 00:30 |
| Shpook | odysseas: I guess that would explain the wrong password...I didn't think of that. I would run dpkg-reconfigure, right? | 00:30 |
| unop | Chat452, the command is invalid | 00:30 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - means i need to parition the drive, which gives me an I/O error | 00:30 |

| odysseas | Shpook: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg should do it | 00:30 |
| unop | Chat452, you need -- mount -t type /dev/device /path/to/mountpoint | 00:30 |

| Chat452 | mount: only root can do that | 00:31 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> before doing the repartitioning/erasing, you have save the data you already need right? | 00:31 |
| unop | Chat452, prefix that with sudo | 00:31 |
| PaTTeRnoFChaOs | Alternatively, are there any open source substitutes to Minitab 15.0 ? | 00:31 |
| RequinB4 | unop - "teskdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libntfs.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 00:31 |

| emma | IdleOne, on that page there is no category for external hard drive, or even hard drive. | 00:31 |
| RequinB4 | bkar - i really don't care about any data on this comp | 00:31 |

| _Martin23254 | pivot_root: no such file or directory, /sbin/ini: 428 cannot open dev/console: No such file, Kernel panic - not syncing: attemted to kill init! What does this mean? | 00:32 |
| IdleOne | emma: was not sure if there was try googling see what others are buying | 00:32 |
| erUSUL | chafka: with gparted | 00:32 |
| odysseas | jkapsner: basically you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add an entry for windows, its pretty simple, but startupmanager is ubuntu's tool to edit that file and it recommended to use that | 00:32 |
| Shpook | odysseas: Hmm...is there a way to run that without using keystrokes? | 00:32 |
| unop | RequinB4, it looks like a partition is ntfs and testdisk doesnt fully have support for ntfs built in | 00:32 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> okay you can start doing your fsck, and re-partitioning | 00:32 |
| erUSUL | !gparted | chafka | 00:32 |
| ubotu | chafka: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 00:32 |

| IdleOne | wolferine: all that means is it is going out but does not mean the router is letting in. it can be blocking | 00:32 |
| venger | is there an alternative to xchat-gnome that actually has a user list? | 00:32 |
| Shpook | odysseas: I type "dpkg" and get "d*2g" | 00:32 |
| Montego | Is there any Lan chat that will connect with my windows pc? | 00:32 |
| unop | Chat452, you need pmount if you want users to mount devices -- that or edit the sudoers file to give certain users abaility to mount | 00:32 |
| techgeek40 | I typed sudo apt-get install linux-source-`uname -r` and I get the error E: Couldn't find package linux-source-2.6.22-14-386 | 00:32 |
| unop | Chat452, i'd go with pmount, it's better, and safer | 00:32 |
| joe_ | is there anyone out there who rights aps for linux? someone who can take a windows ap and make it into a linux ap? | 00:32 |
| odysseas | Shpook: I can only think of copy paster | 00:33 |
| Chat452 | unop, it works fine with another partition | 00:33 |
| Chat452 | as it stands | 00:33 |
| wolferine | IdleOne, its not the router | 00:33 |
| techgeek40 | I'm doing the instructions from the manual you told me about Odysseas | 00:33 |
| chafka | erUSUL it can't i :S when i click create new partition it says that i have 4 partitions and i need an extended one.. :S but i don't know how to make it | 00:33 |
| Ashfire_Server | i'm trying to make it so i can access my computer from the internet via vnc. My computer's Internet (the remote computer) runs through a ubuntu server acting as a gateway. how do i get to the remote desktop? | 00:33 |
| IdleOne | venger: xchat-common. for user list you might need to expand the window ( on the right side ) | 00:33 |
| Shpook | odysseas: Ugh, where is my brain tonight. Thank you. :-) | 00:33 |
| venger | techgeek40: use something like *apt-cache search linux-source* first and see whats out there | 00:33 |
| unop | Chat452, it's likely that the partition already has an entry in /etc/fstab|mtab and the user is able to mount it -- in any case, pmount | 00:33 |
| RequinB4 | If anyone who is helping me thinks it matters, i can't mount hda2 because NTFS is unclean (windows can't properlly shutdown, yes the comp is buggy) | 00:34 |
| Chat452 | /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive ext3 noauto,noatime,user,exec,sync,gid=1004,umask=770 0 0 | 00:34 |
| Chat452 | its a usb hd | 00:34 |
| erUSUL | chafka: if you already have four primary partitions you can not make another one (extended or primary) you eed to delete a primary partition and make a new one on its place this time extended | 00:34 |
| PaTTeRnoFChaOs | Does anyone know about open source alternatives to Minitab ? | 00:34 |
| techgeek40 | I get this: root@desktop:/etc# apt-cache search linux-source | 00:34 |
| techgeek40 | linux-source - Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches | 00:34 |
| techgeek40 | xen-source-2.6.16 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.17 with Ubuntu patches | 00:34 |
| techgeek40 | linux-source-2.6.22 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.22 with Ubuntu patches | 00:34 |
| erUSUL | chafka: then inside that extended partition you can make up to 64 logical partitions | 00:35 |

| techgeek40 | Odysseas: yeah I did but I got the error about the Kernel tree | 00:35 |

| RequinB4 | un0p - yep, i'm doing that with the text installer. right now all i wanted was to use knoppix to clean up window$ mess | 00:50 |
| poodlesucks | windego40> no there isn't | 00:50 |
| poodlesucks | IDLE0ne huh? | 00:50 |
| un0p | filthpig, yes, at a terminal -- but please test it out on a single directory first - i dont want you to lose anything | 00:50 |
| gene | peercast problem | 00:50 |
| filthpig | sure | 00:50 |
| drphil | Well.. ive installed ubuntu but i don't think my wireless card is running (Atheros AR5008) | 00:50 |
| un0p | RequinB4, should be ok then | 00:51 |
| RequinB4 | I'm so happy... today is the first day in 3 months i've gotten an actual OS to boot on my comp | 00:51 |
| wolferine | NFS i have done all I can, its setup properly, but when connecting to my server, its givin me: 'mount.nfs: server:/media/sdb5 failed, reason given by server: Permission denied' | 00:52 |
| IdleOne | poodlesucks: it is in the prefs somewhere. you need to look around or you can ask in #xchat for the command syntax to turn on/off the join/part messages | 00:52 |
| un0p | RequinB4, you're not totally there yet, but getting there :) | 00:52 |
| Ashfire_Server | /nick/ping | 00:52 |
| filthpig | un0p, should I replace *.flac with song.flac? | 00:52 |
| nickrud | poodlesucks: if you have xchat to show the tabs, right click the tab and unselect show join/part | 00:53 |
| poodlesucks | <IdleOne>i said to demonstrate not join/part messages | 00:53 |
| IdleOne | poodlesucks: what exactly do you mean by demonstrate? | 00:53 |
| RequinB4 | un0p - well, i remember when it seemed like i couldn't get the processer to load a bare kernel xD this is a big improvment. Just praying that text installing ubuntu will allow me to fix my first problem | 00:53 |
| RequinB4 | knoppix doesn't want to shut down | 00:54 |
| un0p | filthpig, if you are testing out a single song -- ffmpeg -i song.flac song.mp3 -- but you could try that command out on a whole directory of songs -- just replace /path/to/flacdir with the directory you want converting | 00:54 |
| erUSUL | poodlesucks: right click on the channel button/tabb | 00:54 |
| poodlesucks | nickrud> where is the tab | 00:54 |
| Ashfire_Server | sorry | 00:54 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> just hit alt+ctrl+del or press reset button you'll get a reboot | 00:54 |
| poodlesucks | i mean to show what you were/are doing | 00:54 |
| nickrud | poodlesucks: the one that has #ubuntu on it; if you have a tree showing the channels you're in, preferences->channel switcher, change it to tabs | 00:54 |
| xenthro | Q: I have an 8gb usb key. I want to install winxp, ubuntu, and a few other tools on it and have the whole thing load with grub/lilo after i make it the primary hd boot device in the bios settings. the key will have 4 partitions: ntfs/swap/ext2/undecided. any foreseeable probs with this? | 00:55 |
| ghostz | i'm new to ubuntu but whenever I mouse over anything the focus switches to that window...can I disable this | 00:55 |
| poodlesucks | erUSUL> but that's not what i want | 00:55 |
| un0p | filthpig, i must make you aware that the default bitrate ffmpeg chooses can vary and is usually quite low, you might want to set it manually | 00:55 |
| tessier | Hello all! Anyone installed 7.10 on a Sony Vaio VGN-N250N? When I do a normal install the sceen is corrupted with static and I can't see anything. If I boot in safe mode the kernel gets 64% loaded and the whole thing freezes. | 00:55 |

| Darkmystere | and it has a labtop wireless card bus slot | 01:08 |

| nemilar | BetaTest: run 'lsof | grep /dev/snd' | 01:09 |

| bear | and the only repository in thrird party is the mediabuntu repository | 01:09 |
| LjL | medibuntu | 01:09 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: that'll usually find the culprit | 01:09 |
| Darkmystere | requin: Is there a way to boot it without removing anything and installing it also could i do somthing like using Ubuntu to burn it to a partion | 01:09 |
| Darkmystere | then boot from that? | 01:09 |

| nemilar | BetaTest: did you grep for /dev/snd ? | 01:10 |
| Ash908 | bkar: let me try making the gateway server listen on port 443 and see if i can connect. | 01:10 |
| BetaTest | Yeah, and that was the only thing that popped up | 01:10 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: there's an app that's hooked into your sound card and not giving it up | 01:10 |
| RequinB4 | Darkmystere - all you need is a CD-R to boot it, you need a CD-W at least to make the cd, which you can do on another comp | 01:11 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: try 'lsof | grep "/dev/"' and scroll through, see if you can find something that looks suspicious | 01:11 |
| nickrud | noodles12: sudo pkill NetworkManager ; sudo NetworkManager & to restart | 01:11 |
| bear | does anyone know what repository list i addto the thirparty list so i can get SDLMAME 0.220 ? | 01:11 |

| Darkmystere | i have no CD-Rs or CD-RW nor the DVD equivilant to burn to.. | 01:12 |

| bear | does anyone know what repository list i need to add to the third party list so i can get SDLMAME 0.220 ? | 01:12 |

| BetaTest | Why is it that VMware and the box itself can't share the sound? | 01:12 |
| compwiz18 | RequinB4: go to System --> Preferences -> Screen Resolutions, it is the selected one | 01:12 |
| BetaTest | Oh and nemilar, that did the trick, thank you | 01:12 |
| bear | or where i can find a list of recommend third party list of repositories ? | 01:12 |
| RequinB4 | Thx, but i meant as a hardware thing | 01:12 |
| RequinB4 | which res x will like | 01:12 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: np, that's an annoying as heck problem, it took me months to figure it out. a restart always fixes it though | 01:12 |
| Darkmystere | i used most of them trying to Burn backtrack i heard it was possible to burn to a partion and then boot with grub from that but wouldnt know how to find a guide to do this | 01:13 |
| RequinB4 | (I don't have ubuntu installed yet) | 01:13 |
| BetaTest | Yeah I've tried that several times, and no go | 01:13 |
| nemilar | RequinB4: are you using an LCD? | 01:13 |
| LjL | bear: no such thing. the only repository i generally feel comfortable recommending (when and if needed) is medibuntu... winehq too perhaps, if bleeding-edge wine is a requirement. | 01:13 |
| RequinB4 | nemilar - yes | 01:13 |
| Darkmystere | all i have to work with on that other PC is a Ubuntu Live CD.. | 01:13 |

| LjL | nemilar: i think that's what he's asking ;) | 01:14 |
| RequinB4 | nemilar - my question was how to figure that out | 01:14 |
| Darkmystere | the res is WAAY tooo big i cant even adjust it | 01:14 |
| BetaTest | nemilar is there any way to make the share the sound device, or does it have to be either or? | 01:14 |
| nemilar | oh, lol | 01:14 |
| Darkmystere | i tried safe mode not working.. | 01:14 |
| nemilar | RequinB4: you can google your monitor brand/model | 01:14 |
| RequinB4 | point. brb | 01:14 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: normally it'll work fine, multiple apps can share it...sometimes an app will just get greedy and not give it up, for some reason. It seems to happen with XMMS sometimes | 01:14 |
| darwin81 | Is there a LiveCD or something of the like that will detect all the Operating Systems installed on a computer and then write a bootloader to the MBR that will list them all? | 01:15 |
| BetaTest | nemilar it looked like I had a FireFox client open that wasn't shown, but I wouldn't think that a web browser alone would kill the sound, would it? | 01:16 |
| bear | thank you everyone | 01:16 |
| bpage- | What setting do I change to make icons for my home folder, usb drive, ect appear on the desktop? | 01:16 |

| cheesypieces | hi guys, i've lost a lot of status icons in my panel, do you know how to restore them? | 01:18 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: it could be, I've had flash do that to me a couple of times | 01:18 |
| LjL | riotkittie: -ot is the other tab | 01:18 |
| BetaTest | Ah, so it's a webpage rather than a client itself | 01:18 |
| riotkittie | i dont have tabs. and that wasnt intentional. :T | 01:19 |
| LjL | !resetpanel | cheesypieces | 01:19 |
| ubotu | cheesypieces: To reset the GNOME panels back to their defaults, delete ~/.gconf/apps/panel/ , log out, then back in. | 01:19 |
| bpage- | nickrud: perfect!! worked like a charm! Is it possible to do that through the system/ preferences menu? | 01:19 |
| BetaTest | nemilar one more thing before I go, I've got a second partition, which happens to be WinXP, how would I get rid of it so Ubuntu uses the entire HDD? | 01:20 |
| nickrud | bpage-: not that I know of | 01:20 |
| filthpig | un0p, are you getting my msgs? | 01:20 |
| sivik | ok, i have a linksys (ralink) wireless card installed on my machine, it picks it up just fine in the lspci but i am unable to get any signal regonized when i do a scan | 01:20 |
| nickrud | bpage-: but I've been using the gconf-editor so long I forget what all can be done in prefs sometimes | 01:20 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: burn a gparted LiveCD, you can delete the NTFS partition and resize your ubuntu partition to use the whole drive | 01:20 |
| sivik | and i'm like 3 feet from the wireless router | 01:20 |
| un0p | filthpig, <filthpig> but it uses gstreamer ugly <filthpig> does it matter? -- were the laste messages i got from you | 01:21 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: as always, backup your files first! | 01:21 |
| un0p | s/laste/last/ | 01:21 |
| riotkittie | sivik: are you using the native drivers? | 01:21 |
| cheesypieces | erm, how do i open the .gconf folder? | 01:21 |
| sivik | yes, that came with the kernel since like 2.5 whatever | 01:21 |
| cheesypieces | it just tells me i don't have permissions | 01:21 |
| LjL | cheesypieces, you can use the "rm" command. | 01:21 |
| sivik | cheesypieces, have you tried opening that folder as root | 01:22 |
| BetaTest | nemilar already backed up ;) And where would I find gparted, and what is it? | 01:22 |
| cheesypieces | no i haven't, how do i do that? | 01:22 |
| filthpig | un0p, those were the last :) But I get none from you? | 01:22 |
| xomp | I establish a VPN connection with my work (Cisco VPN). The connection works and I'm able to ping my remote exchange server by name "Exuexu04". However, if I attempt to ping my workstation by name I get a message indicating it can't find the machine. However, if I connect to my workstation by IP address all is fine. Could someone explain why this is happening? Thanks | 01:22 |
| LjL | cheesypieces: or, you could just try adding the panel icons back manually... | 01:22 |
| bpage- | nickrud: I've been switching distro's so much I cant remember wich had what settings. It my have been Mint XFCE that had it. | 01:22 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: it's the gnome partitioning program | 01:22 |
| riotkittie | sivik: what is it exactly -- rt81? rt2570? something else? | 01:22 |
| un0p | filthpig, i replied "<un0p> it shouldnt do, 'ugly' refers to the legal side of things here" | 01:22 |
| sivik | rt2500 | 01:22 |
| cheesypieces | ljl, its not the icons its the little status things | 01:22 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 01:22 |
| un0p | filthpig, you should be ok | 01:22 |
| LjL | cheesypieces: the notification area? | 01:22 |
| filthpig | ok | 01:22 |
| sivik | (rev 01) | 01:22 |
| irv | does anyone have any suggestions for fixing my WMV and video playback in general? It used to play back fine and now I'm just seeing multicolored patches for every video in every player... | 01:23 |
| riotkittie | sivik: are you trying to use network-manager? | 01:23 |
| sivik | kwifinetwork as well as command line | 01:23 |
| sivik | riotkittie, it picks up the wireless points but all of them have 0/100 signal strenght | 01:23 |
| filthpig | un0p, the program doesnt seem to work though | 01:23 |
| sivik | but i'm currently connected with this laptop to the same network and the drives for this suck | 01:23 |
| BetaTest | nemilar then wouldn't it be easier to just intall it via apt-get, and then run it? | 01:23 |
| cheesypieces | ljl, yes the status area | 01:24 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: you can't resize a partition you're currently using ;) | 01:24 |
| BetaTest | Ah, good call | 01:24 |
| nickrud | ubotu resetpanels is to reset the panel to defaults, type in a terminal gconf-tool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel | 01:25 |
| sivik | riotkittie, i'm using kde | 01:25 |
| riotkittie | sivik: have you considered ndiswrapper? i have a d-link adapter with the same chipset... and i've never been able to get the native driver to work well :| | 01:25 |
| RequinB4 | If i choose a incompatible xserver resolution for my newly installed ubuntu box, and i'm subsequently unable to run x, will i be able to change this via a shell later on? | 01:25 |
| un0p | filthpig, ahh well, :) | 01:26 |
| sivik | riotkittie, i hate ndiswrapper | 01:26 |
| un0p | !fixres | RequinB4 | 01:26 |
| ubotu | RequinB4: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 01:26 |
| sivik | riotkittie, i can never get it to work | 01:26 |
| LjL | nickrud: shouldn't that be gconftool-2? | 01:26 |
| filthpig | oh well, I'll look into it tomorrw | 01:26 |
| filthpig | good night all | 01:27 |
| mohbana | RequinB4, what card do you have? | 01:27 |
| nickrud | LjL: gconftool is a link (thru alternatives) to gconftool-2 | 01:27 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: you're using Grub to boot, right? | 01:27 |
| akonkwa | Is it allowed to ask questions about dapper ? | 01:27 |
| riotkittie | sivik: are you downloading the drivers from the manufacturer's site? if there are different versions of the driver [ie: xp/2k + 98/me], are you trying both? :| also, which version of ubuntu are you using? 7.10 or something else? | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | Heres an inter4esting little quirk i just saw. using samba, on ubuntu as a fileserver. I got a 'publicfiles' share, and theres also a 'publicfiles.exe' and 'publicfiles.cmd' and 'publicfiles.pif' and 'publifciles.lnk' | 01:28 |
| riotkittie | akonkwa: yes | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | Whats up with that? anyone seen this befor? bug? feature? | 01:28 |
| cheesypieces | sorted guys thank you! | 01:28 |
| BetaTest | nemilar what would be a good program to burn the Live CD with? | 01:28 |
| RequinB4 | mohbana - idk... 6600 somethig | 01:28 |
| Onyx | Dr_willis: sounds pretty messed up. | 01:29 |
| sivik | riotkittie, no, i can never get ndiswrapper to work | 01:29 |
| Leila | K3b | 01:29 |
| BetaTest | Oh, and I think I am | 01:29 |
| BetaTest | I think that's what I was told, but not too sure | 01:29 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: anything...you can probably right click and burn iso | 01:29 |
| benzss | does ubuntu 64bit work with intel 64bit processors? | 01:29 |
| xomp_ | When I ping my workstations name "xomp" over my VPN connection to my work I get "ping: unknown host xomp". However I can ping that same workstations IP address and get replies back fine. Any suggestions? | 01:29 |
| Onyx | ndiswrapper w00t | 01:29 |
| Onyx | benzss: w0rd | 01:29 |
| compwiz18 | benzss: yes, I think so | 01:29 |
| akonkwa | riotkittie : thanks. Does anyone know if there is a way to get an "expose" like effect on dapper (i would like to hit a button and see all the open windows)? | 01:29 |
| Onyx | benzss: it's x86_64, so yeah | 01:29 |
| irv | anyone have any ideas for the multi colored video problem? i have a lady friend coming over soon and we were gonna watch some stuff =p plss help | 01:29 |
| nemilar | BetaTest: most likely, right click on the ISO and burn to disk | 01:29 |
| BetaTest | Ah ok, I know some isos need to be burned a special way for them to become bootable | 01:29 |
| === xomp_ is now known as xomp | ||
| Onyx | irv: multi colored video? | 01:30 |
| neeto | When ubuntu is booting, how do I keep it from trying to start X? | 01:30 |
| mohbana | what is up with the 8800 gts and ubuntu | 01:30 |
| benzss | thanks guys | 01:30 |
| scguy318 | neeto: by not having gdm start up automatically | 01:30 |
| Onyx | mohbana: what's the problem? | 01:30 |
| lolop | does anyone know how to manually define segments of ram to be discarded with the badmem patches? (i.e. understand the address masking that badmem uses)? | 01:30 |
| mohbana | i cant get the resolution above 800x600, my monitor is not even recognized | 01:30 |
| neeto | When I boot the computer, it loads, then X loads, and it fails... but I can't get to any command line, so it's useless | 01:31 |
| Onyx | mohbana: you probably need to manj00ally install the nvidia drivers. | 01:31 |
| nemilar | the 8800 doesn't like linux, I donno what it is | 01:31 |
| Onyx | mohbana: i can help you if you want. | 01:31 |
| scguy318 | neeto: switch to tty1/2/3 then login, or boot in REcovery Mode | 01:31 |
| nemilar | it took me weeeeeeeeks to get an 8800 working | 01:31 |
| irv | onyx: whenever I load any video now (regardless of player) (assuming it's a backend problem), the videos are multi-colored and just a series of squares | 01:31 |
| Leila | Are there instructions to connect and share files with a windows box on a home network? | 01:31 |
| Onyx | irv: that's probably because they're wmvs, right? | 01:31 |

| === xomp_ is now known as xomp | ||
| Onyx | Leila: w0rd | 01:31 |

| Leila | W0rd? what does that mean? | 01:32 |
| nemilar | mohbana: honestly, someone else would probably be better able to help you out | 01:32 |
| scguy318 | neeto: go into GRUB menu, select Recovery Mode | 01:32 |
| nemilar | mohbana: (more honestly, I really just don't want to go there again) | 01:32 |
| neeto | scguy318: got it | 01:32 |
| mohbana | whats strange is that my monitor is recognized and everything on fedora but on ubuntu its not | 01:32 |
| xomp | RequinB4, I'm not sure what you're asking. | 01:32 |
| irv | Onyx: i've had a similar problem with wmvs when i was running windows which was solved by disabling hardware acceleration... but this appears to be different and it's not restricted to wmvs | 01:32 |

| _xyz | hey guys, how come ubuntu doesn't have mp3 codecs by default? | 01:33 |
| nemilar | _xyz: royalty issues | 01:33 |
| _xyz | why does windows tho? | 01:33 |
| _xyz | does MS pay the mp3 group? | 01:33 |
| nemilar | _xyz: they pay the feels | 01:33 |
| _xyz | ohhh | 01:33 |
| nemilar | fees* | 01:33 |
| _xyz | so by installing vlc, am breaking laws? | 01:33 |
| _xyz | am i breaking laws? | 01:33 |
| _xyz | not that I care, of course | 01:33 |
| jetscreamer | installing the codecs i think | 01:33 |
| scguy318 | _xyz: possibly in your jurisdiction | 01:34 |
| irv | installing certain codecs, depending on your location you could be. | 01:34 |
| Leila | because they are overprotective> the playback is free. only the record isn't. Try Linux Mint. That is Ubuntu with codecs and drivers. | 01:34 |
| nickrud | _xyz: in some places absolutely not, some places not defined yet | 01:34 |
| nemilar | installing w32codecs is a legal gray area | 01:34 |
| nemilar | if you've ever bought a copy of windows, I think you have the right to use the codecs | 01:34 |
| RequinB4 | xomp - you said " When I ping my workstations name "xomp" over my VPN connection to my work I get "ping: unknown host xomp". However I can ping that same workstations IP address and get replies back fine. Any suggestions?" | 01:34 |
| _xyz | Leila, thanks, i'll look into it, sounds interesting | 01:34 |
| mohbana | any guides for installing eclipse on ubuntu | 01:34 |
| scguy318 | xomp: some local resolution service thing that needs rectifying I guess? | 01:34 |
| nickrud | nemilar: that's one interpretation :) But this is all off-topic | 01:34 |
| Carbonflux | has anyone had any problems with the using CCSM fixed window placement with twinview ? | 01:35 |
| RequinB4 | xomp - If you ping even the same computer via a different port, then you may get a different responce | 01:35 |
| Leila | You can try the Linux Mint Live CD. | 01:35 |
| nemilar | nickrud: yeah, true | 01:35 |
| adub | my time keeps getting screw up and i dont know why | 01:35 |
| scguy318 | mohbana: should be a simple matter of installing Eclipse with your favorite APT frontend | 01:35 |
| adub | like it keeps going up an hour | 01:35 |
| nemilar | adub: cmos battery? | 01:35 |
| adub | no | 01:35 |
| scguy318 | adub: locale issues? | 01:35 |
| xomp | RequinB4, I'm not sure what port you're speaking of. Can you change the port in which ping uses? Or are you talking about an ethernet port? | 01:35 |
| nickrud | mohbana: I'd suggest getting eclipse from eclipse.org and unpacking it, it's more recent, does it's own package management for plugins | 01:35 |
| Carbonflux | I don't seem to be able to use fixed window placement to position windows on my second monitor | 01:35 |
| RequinB4 | xomp - i may have misunderstood your question | 01:36 |
| scguy318 | xomp: ping doesn't use a "port", it just sends an ICMP ping | 01:36 |
| xomp | scguy318, that's what I was thinking also, but I can ping my workstation by name & ip address in windows. Only in ubuntu do I see this problem. | 01:36 |
| irv | Is there any package that I could try to reinstall or reconfigure so these videos will work again? | 01:36 |
| scguy318 | xomp: probably local resolution service on Ubuntu needs tweaking sec | 01:36 |
| RequinB4 | syep | 01:36 |
| dehspehl | scguy318: xomp: but certain things /can/ block the ICMP pings | 01:36 |
| RequinB4 | i misunderstood what you were trying to do xomp, sry | 01:36 |
| xomp | RequinB4, np :) | 01:36 |
| dehspehl | scguy318: xomp: just because firewalls generally block ports, doesn't mean they can't also block whatever else they like | 01:37 |
| scguy318 | dehspehl: that's absolutely true | 01:37 |
| xomp | scguy318, I noticed this issue when trying to RDP into my workstation in ubuntu. I tried by name like I usually do in windows only to get errors that it couldn't find the host heh. | 01:37 |
| dehspehl | heck, network I'm on not only blocks ping/any diagnostics, UDP, but generally leaves all ports open | 01:38 |
| scguy318 | xomp: try editing /etc/nsswitch.conf and sticking I think wins to the end of the hosts line? | 01:38 |
| xomp | I don't believe our WAN guys have any linux specific things blocked in the PIX firewall, they just enable the RDP port is all. | 01:38 |
| scguy318 | xomp: but if you specify by IP address no problem? | 01:38 |
| troythetechguy | I'm trying to install Drupal on my laptop running Ubuntu 7.10, but I'm told the data base is not set up. I installed the drupal package from the Ubuntu repositories. Any ideas? | 01:38 |

| scguy318 | xomp: so it's a resolution issue | 01:38 |

| scguy318 | xomp: interesting | 01:40 |
| Leila | I think it was Dave Yates. | 01:40 |

| pg | Hi, I can't put my hard drive to sleep using hdparm. It wakes up after 5 seconds. Is some process insisting on accessing my hdd?? Is anyone able to put their hdd to sleep? | 01:50 |
| _xyz | hey guys, I currently have windows on 1 hdd and I'd like to install Ubuntu on another (so I could choose which one to boot). What's the safest and most reasonable way to do that? | 01:50 |
| nemilar | _xyz: just install the bootloader on whichever is the master drive | 01:50 |
| erUSUL | !dualboot | _xyz | 01:50 |
| ubotu | _xyz: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 01:50 |
| nickrud | _xyz: leave the windows as the first drive, install ubuntu on the second. Unless you tell it otherwise it'll set things up right :) | 01:51 |
| _xyz | thanks | 01:51 |
| scguy318 | pg: perhaps trackerd? | 01:51 |
| Leila | xyz I use a Romec Trios Combos. That will switch between three hard drives and keep them all separate. On ebay. | 01:51 |
| Leila | Combox | 01:51 |
| intardnet | is there a command to kill X (and keep it from restarting, I need to install the nVidia driver from a terminal)? | 01:52 |
| Teligard251 | You could simply use GRUB on the master drive. | 01:52 |
| pg | scguy: No, I don't have such a process and tracker is not installed. | 01:52 |
| Teligard251 | intardnet: You need to set the init to 5 | 01:52 |
| RequinB4 | Can anyone help me - i keep getting "Out of range" error when i boot. i have tried this - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-336495.html - to no avail. Possible problems is 1) I don't have internet connection and 2) I can't see anything when i press cntl+alt+f1/f2 | 01:52 |
| intardnet | Teligard251: how do i do that? | 01:52 |
| nickrud | intardnet: ctl-alt-f2, login & run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop , then do your nvidia stuff. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart the gui | 01:52 |
| nickrud | Teligard251: not in ubuntu | 01:53 |
| intardnet | nickrud, Teligard251: much thanks | 01:53 |
| Teligard251 | nickrud: ok. I had to do it in Fedora and thought it was the same. Thanks :-) | 01:53 |
| pg | scguy: Beagle is installed, though no beagle deamon running right now | 01:53 |
| nickrud | intardnet: also, you can switch between gui and that fancy console with clt-alt-f2 and ctl-alt-f7 anytime | 01:53 |
| scguy318 | pg: I am not sure then | 01:54 |
| pg | RequinB4: is that a grub error? | 01:54 |
| _xyz | nickrud: if I unplugged the windows HDD and installed Ubuntu 7.10 on the other, then plugged them both in (WinXP HDD is master, Ubuntu is slave), would I be presented with a choice as to which OS to boot? | 01:54 |
| nickrud | Teligard251 yeah, ubuntu doesn't use runlevels like fedora does | 01:54 |
| RequinB4 | pg - no. it comes up just before where the login screen should | 01:54 |
| Teligard251 | nickrud: ok :-) | 01:54 |
| RequinB4 | or, after the usplash on the liveCD | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | _xyz: of course not... how would grub detect XP? | 01:54 |
| Dr_willis | _xyz, ubuntu saw no other os. so it dident put an option in the grub menu. You can add one if you want. | 01:54 |
| DG19075 | how can I set VLC so that it doesn't start automaticlly when I reboot? | 01:54 |
| nickrud | _xyz: that would present you with problems. Just install the second drive, and point the ubuntu installer at it | 01:54 |
| Dr_willis | _xyz, you could also use whateber bios features you have to pick what HD to boot. | 01:55 |
| Teligard251 | _xyz: You can tell Ubuntu, during the install process what drive to install to | 01:55 |
| _xyz | aha | 01:55 |
| pg | scguy318: are you able to put your hdd to sleep in Ubuntu? | 01:55 |
| nemilar | _xyz: if you wanna go crazy, there's an article on how to make a hardware switch to choose between operating systems | 01:55 |
| _xyz | nah | 01:55 |
| nemilar | _xyz: Kevin Rose did that on The Screen Savers back in the day | 01:55 |
| Leila | DG how do you have the reboot set. To remember the old stuff? In Control Panel. | 01:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | _xyz: why are you going to disconnect the first drive?.. doesn't make much sense | 01:55 |
| * nickrud demonstrates forked fingers to nemilar | 01:55 | |
| nemilar | lol | 01:56 |
| DG19075 | just running as the default I guess | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | To be paranoid :) and uber-safe. heh | 01:56 |
| Leila | Romtec Trios Combox on E-bay. 3 Hard drive switch. | 01:56 |
| _xyz | InduGunFreak, I wanted to do it for maximum insurance against Ubuntu screwing up my XP install, but I know it's not gonna be possible that way | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: but if you're installing on two different drives, you have to be pretty reckless to screw up your XP partition in that instance | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | My machine i can hit F11 at boot and pick what hd to boot. | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | _xyz: see above. | 01:56 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: Same here, and I like it that way | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, once i dident realize my IDE drive was named 'sda' due to the libata changes.. guess what drive i miss-installed to. :P | 01:57 |
| nickrud | ouch | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: thats my point, "unless you're really reckless".. :) | 01:57 |
| nickrud | double ouch | 01:57 |
| _xyz | so if I pointed Ubuntu to install to the slave HDD, then the Linux boot loader (GRUB or something) would install itself on my Master (XP) HDD and would load up every time I boot, giving me a choice which OS to boot? | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, my ide and sata disks were identical sized. so i couldent tell them apart exept by mounting them heh. | 01:57 |
| nickrud | _xyz: yes | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | but this is when it PAYS to have BACKUPS | 01:58 |
| _xyz | nickrud: and if I wanted to get rid of Ubuntu, how would I go about it | 01:58 |
| Teligard251 | scguy18: Do you have any ideas how to get the general kernel installed. I can get to a command line (provided I know which partition to go to) and use apt, but the system always goes south on me. | 01:58 |
| Leila | Dr willis try the Trios | 01:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: exactly... you should never install another OS, w/o backing up | 01:58 |
| nickrud | _xyz: boot your xp recovery disk and rewrite the mbr. There's a lot of howtos on the net | 01:58 |
| _xyz | nickrud: thanks | 01:58 |
| le-foot | quit: QUIT | 01:58 |
| le-foot | whoops ;) | 01:59 |
| RequinB4 | "Warning: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed these refresh rates" - how would i tell my gfx card to stop doing this nefarious action? | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, or risk porn-lossage :) | 01:59 |
| Leila | You can rewrite the MBR with the super floppy disc. | 01:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: can't have that..lol | 01:59 |
| _xyz | or from the XP installation disc, right? | 01:59 |
| john47 | quick question from an ubuntu newbie: I am running HandBrakeGTK from the terminal with the following command: "mono ./HandBrakeGTK" and want to automate this so that I don't have to type it from the terminal anymore (just click on an icon and it launches, for example). Can anyone tell me how to do this? | 01:59 |
| nickrud | _xyz: yeah, same thing in my head | 01:59 |
| _xyz | and if I rewrote the MBR, the XP installation would remain perfectly intact? | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | _xyz: yup.. | 02:00 |
| nickrud | john47: right click the desktop, and select add launcher | 02:00 |
| _xyz | alright thanks | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | I've had to run fixmbr a couple times.. | 02:00 |
| Teligard251 | john47: right click on the desktop and create new link to application | 02:00 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak: you have windows machines?? | 02:00 |
| * IndyGunFreak is very ashamed | 02:00 | |
| Teligard251 | ok, or that :-) | 02:00 |
| xenthro | Q: I have a bootable partition cd and I want to transfer that to my usb key. I pasted the iso contents onto my usb key (fat32 partition) and marked it as "boot" in gparted. When I tried to launch, it said that this is not a bootable disk. any ideas? | 02:00 |
| john47 | nickrud: ok, I got that far, but then what gets written in the blanks? | 02:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: unfortunately, i have to.., i have a GPS device that can't be managed under Linux. | 02:01 |
| RequinB4 | "Warning: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed these refresh rates" - how would i tell my gfx card to stop doing this nefarious action? | 02:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: but its only 20gigs..lol, 230 for Ubuntu | 02:01 |
| scguy318 | xenthro: don't you need to write syslinux MBR to it? | 02:01 |
| === rekon is now known as pctechcentral | ||
| IndyGunFreak | i probably boot it once a month.. | 02:01 |
| nickrud | john47: name anything, comment anything, command is mono ./Handbreakwhatever | 02:01 |
| xenthro | scguy318 I guess I do... | 02:01 |
| xenthro | scguy318 let me give that a try | 02:01 |
| scguy318 | xenthro: there's supposed to be a script to facilitate creating a bootable USB for GPartEd | 02:01 |
| nickrud | IndyGunFreak: oh, thought it was an exclusive windows machine, you know, rewriting the mbr and all | 02:02 |
| john47 | nickrud: ok, many thanks. | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: oh no, none are exclusive. | 02:02 |
| xenthro | scguy318 thing is this is not a gparted cd. its a paragon partition editor bootdisk | 02:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | nickrud: back when i was learning distros, etc, i had to run fixmbr on more than one occasion to clear windows MBR | 02:02 |
| * nickrud feels like an Inquisitor | 02:02 | |
| scguy318 | xenthro: oh, any instructions associated with it? you'll probably have to write some form of MBR | 02:02 |
| xenthro | schuy318 it's supposed to come with its own boot manager... i see lilo files allover it | 02:03 |
| nickrud | RequinB4: add rates to the /etc/X11/xorg file | 02:04 |
| RequinB4 | ok... I need to somehow blindly change the resolution/refresh rate of my comp | 02:04 |
| scguy318 | xenthro: that boot manager should probably be written to your USB's MBR somehow | 02:04 |
| puff | Hi, I'm trying to try out some themes from gnome-look, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. | 02:04 |
| RequinB4 | nickrud - its a lil more difficult when you can't see the shell | 02:04 |
| xenthro | scguy318 ill play around with it | 02:04 |

| puff | Help? | 02:05 |
| scguy318 | puff: make sure that the theme is not, say, GDM or Emerald etc. | 02:05 |
| scguy318 | puff: but for GNOME | 02:05 |
| puff | scguy318: How do I check? | 02:05 |
| RequinB4 | scguy318 - because I can't see what i'm doing >.> | 02:06 |
| puff | scguy318: I downloaded it from gnome-look, I kinda thought that was the point :-) | 02:06 |
| un0p | xenthro, this might come in handy -- http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_LiveCD_and_LiveUSB | 02:06 |
| ardchoille | puff: What is the url where you got the theme? | 02:06 |
| nickrud | RequinB4: try booting into recovery mode, you should get a usable terminal | 02:06 |
| xenthro | un0p thanks... will look | 02:06 |
| scguy318 | RequinB4: is the local VGA/fb/whatever it's called terminal that messed up? Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2? | 02:07 |
| scguy318 | RequinB4: booting to, say, Recovery Mode -> junked display? | 02:07 |
| RequinB4 | hold on, i'm booting to recovery. | 02:07 |

| IndyGunFreak | puff: are you trying to install that theme | 02:10 |
| ardchoille | puff: That theme is packaged incorrectly. | 02:10 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Yeah. | 02:11 |
| puff | ardchoille: Doh. | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | ardchoille: puff it worked fine for me. | 02:11 |
| puff | Anybody know of a theme that would work well with http://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?568 | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: that theme worked fine for me. | 02:11 |
| scguy318 | puff: there's a tar.gz inside it, maybe that's the thing you're supposed to drag into the Theme Manager | 02:11 |
| blackice | On my newly built system, I installed Ubuntu. While shutting down I get a siren for 1 or 2 seconds then it shuts off. Could this be a software related problem. | 02:11 |
| scguy318 | puff: sec | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: do you ahve the tarball? | 02:11 |
| puff | That's my current desktop background, I like it and it's very ubuntu-ish feeling :-). | 02:11 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Yeah. | 02:11 |
| Leila | Hubble.com has great desktop wallpaper. | 02:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: right click the desktop, properties, then click the theme tab, and then drag the tarball into that window, then click apply | 02:12 |
| nickrud | puff: gion has folders that would look nice with that | 02:12 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: It gave me a tar.gz, when I ungzipped and untarred it, it gave me four files, one of which was another tar.gz. | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: don't untar it, just drag the tar file into that window like i said. | 02:12 |
| bod_ | bkar, thanks for helping my dad out earlier | 02:12 |
| scguy318 | IndyGunFreak: won't work for this one | 02:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | scguy318: worked fine for me... | 02:12 |
| scguy318 | IndyGunFreak: the actual tar.gz is inside it | 02:12 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Hm, maybe it's because I'm still on feisty, I don't have properties option in the desktop right-click menu. | 02:13 |
| scguy318 | IndyGunFreak: the one I got had emerald and other misc stuff + readme etc. | 02:13 |
| scguy318 | IndyGunFreak: so you'll have to actually extract the actual if I'm not mistaken | 02:13 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: The entire downloaded tar file, or the one inside the download? | 02:13 |
| Leila | great floppy for recovery http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ | 02:13 |

| puff | scguy318: Yeah, that's what I've got. | 02:13 |
| ardchoille | puff: Right, as I said, it's packaged incorrectly. You have to unpack the initial tarball and then install the other tarballs inside that | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: i downloaded the tar file, downloaded it in to the theme window, adn it was done. | 02:13 |
| Rasta | someone here uses a second OS emulated(ie. win) with VMWare? im deciding if its a good option for working with graphics(photoshop). | 02:13 |

| puff | IndyGunFreak: did you gunzip it first? | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: no | 02:14 |

| felipe | 03:17:41 #ubuntu < ardchoille> felipe: Are you on Gutsy? | 02:19 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: it won't, it'll simply install ndiswrapper & ndiswrapper-utils | 02:19 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto is helpful | 02:19 |
| Dr_willis | 2 hrs to mkfs? what in the world are you formating? | 02:19 |
| alkh3myst | ndisgtk that is... | 02:19 |
| Symmetria | heh | 02:20 |
| Symmetria | Dr_willis errr a LOT of space | 02:20 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: which is a frontend to ndiswrapper + utils | 02:20 |
| alkh3myst | so i need to get/download the driver first? | 02:20 |
| bod_ | hey guys,.,. i have another ubuntu os on a diff HD,. evertime i go to browse this drive through nautilus it asks for my password,.,. anyway to stop this? | 02:20 |
| Dr_willis | I dont think my 500gb drives take more then a few min to format. | 02:20 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: see the link I gave you, but you need: Windows driver, ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 02:20 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: and possibly ndisgtk if you wish to use that frontend | 02:20 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, mount it in the fstab perhaps? it may be using the automount stuff and thats why its asking | 02:20 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: so yes you need the Windows driver | 02:20 |
| Leila | Dr willis try here http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=Romtec+Combox&category0= | 02:21 |

| puff | IndyGunFreak: So where do I set this? | 02:21 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, whats fstab,.,. how do i use it? | 02:21 |
| Dr_willis | time to learn some linux basics bod_ | 02:21 |
| Dr_willis | !fstab | 02:22 |
| ubotu | 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 | 02:22 |
| scguy318 | bod_: /etc/fstab is a file that describes the filesystems to automatically mount | 02:22 |
| mohbana | i am trying to install nvidia 169.09 drivers, but it says libc is missing what do i do? | 02:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: extract the tarball(so that the "inner" tarball is a file on your desktop), then try it. | 02:22 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, yer,.,. im a 1month linux user | 02:22 |
| LordOllie | mohbana, sudo apt-get install libc | 02:22 |
| scguy318 | LordOllie: libc6 you mean? | 02:22 |
| LordOllie | scguy318, most likely | 02:23 |
| mohbana | LordOllie, could not find libc | 02:23 |
| LordOllie | mohbana, sorry try libc6 | 02:23 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, dude,. thats alot of reading,.,. any chance u can simplify it? | 02:23 |
| scguy318 | mohbana: perhaps you need to install build-essential? | 02:23 |
| scguy318 | mohbana: I think the NVIDIA installer attempts to compile a kernel module if I'm not mistaken | 02:24 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Oddly enough, I googled and downloaded Gion from http://art.gnome.org/themes/icon/1340 and it worked EXACTLY the way you were describing. | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, u You put a proper line in fstab to mount the device.. :) thats it in a nutshell. | 02:24 |
| mohbana | scguy318, yes i think it does | 02:24 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: The gnome-look files must be corrupted or something, dunnohow. | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: well, this one worked fine for me.., and i done exactly what i told you | 02:24 |
| scguy318 | mohbana: so you need build-essential :) | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | learning how fstab and linux mounts things. is a very Core Linux Fundamental thingto learn. :) | 02:24 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, il have a play, and be bak soon | 02:24 |
| scguy318 | mohbana: and possibly do sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 02:24 |
| totokostov | hi all can i ask u how can i viel last interenet connections from my computer | 02:24 |
| alkh3myst | scguy318: could you give me that link again-i haven't used a chat room in a few centuries | 02:24 |
| Leila | I used Linux Mint which is Ubuntu with the Nvidea drivers pre-installed | 02:25 |
| mohbana | scguy318, i have no choice i am running on 640x480, that is really low i cant stand it | 02:25 |
| mohbana | ubuntu is not recognizing my 8800gts | 02:25 |
| Leila | Just push the bar up and it will stop scrolling. | 02:25 |
| blackice | While shutting down a siren goes off for 1 to 2 seconds. Could this be related to ubuntu??? | 02:25 |
| scguy318 | mohbana: so you need build-essential + linux-headers-yourkernelversion to get the installer going | 02:25 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: for which? sorry, I've forgotten your issue :) | 02:25 |
| techgeek40 | Hello All | 02:25 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: oh yeah ndiswrapper k | 02:26 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto | 02:26 |
| techgeek40 | I have GOT to thank everyone for their help in getting the Nvidia card working for me | 02:26 |
| alkh3myst | that ndisgtk thing... | 02:26 |
| ubuntuo | hey, i have a question. Im trying to copy a song to my Ipod on Ubuntu, but it says "I don't have permission" | 02:26 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, i do not have a fstab dir | 02:26 |
| ubuntuo | any ideas? | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, thats becuase its a FILE in /etc | 02:26 |
| scguy318 | alkh3myst: this link doesn't use ndisgtk (and I don't like it personally, just me) but it gets the job done | 02:26 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, use sudoo | 02:26 |
| bod_ | sudo | 02:26 |
| alkh3myst | i tunes is proprietary software...sorry | 02:26 |
| ubuntuo | bod_ why cant i just drap and drop the file? | 02:26 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, yer,. i ment its not there | 02:26 |
| ubuntuo | im not sure how to copy a file using sudo | 02:27 |
| scguy318 | ubuntuo: sudo cp source dest? | 02:27 |
| mohbana | techgeek40, i am about to install it aswell | 02:27 |
| === DiCha_cHa-Cha is now known as cE_pLaygirL | ||
| mohbana | techgeek40, which version did you install | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, i would say look again. cat /etc/fstab | 02:27 |
| techgeek40 | mohbana: Which one? | 02:27 |
| ubuntuo | Kim Leoni - Medicine.mp3 in /home/ubuntu/shared | 02:27 |
| mohbana | techgeek40, 169.09 | 02:27 |
| techgeek40 | I downloaded the driver from the nvidia website and installed manually | 02:27 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: I think you must have broken it somehow when you downloaded it :-0 | 02:27 |
| alkh3myst | i mean you put a link up | 02:27 |
| totokostov | how can i view last interenet connections from my computer | 02:27 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, go into terminal and cd to ur ipod ,. then type sudo chmod 77 ./(name of ipod) | 02:27 |
| scguy318 | ubuntuo: why do you need to copy it as root? | 02:27 |
| ubuntuo | and i have a Ipod monted on D Drive | 02:27 |
| techgeek40 | you have to reconfigure you xorg.conf file though | 02:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff, hang on. | 02:27 |
| ardchoille | ubuntulog: sudo cp /path/target_file /path/destination | 02:27 |
| beasty | you know what i hate about Xorg | 02:28 |
| ubuntuo | i dont know why. I was just trying to add a song to my ipod, and it said i dont have permission | 02:28 |
| techgeek40 | IndyGunFreak: Thank you - your suggestions helped a great deal | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: like i said, it worked fine... http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/black.jpg | 02:28 |
| mohbana | techgeek40, which guide did you use | 02:28 |
| ubuntuo | I usually just "drag and drop it" | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: no prob, glad you got it working | 02:28 |

| techgeek40 | mohbana: there is a readme file on their site once you select the driver - just pick your card type and linux and you'll get the driver you need | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: just so you don't think i'm pulling your leg, it worked fine | 02:29 |
| Teligard251 | The main problem is knowing which partition to rescue to. | 02:29 |
| Teligard251 | Any ideas | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, if you had no /etc/fstab - your system wouldent boot up all the way. | 02:29 |
| ubuntuo | bod_ how do you normally add songs to your ipod if you are on Ubuntu? | 02:29 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, ok found stuff,. how come i cant find it in a file browser? | 02:29 |
| techgeek40 | !mohbana make sure you read the readme first | 02:29 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: I didn't think you were pulling my leg, it's just odd, that's all. | 02:29 |
| moontumbo | \join | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, No idea. thers a dozen file browsers out there. :) This is why i use the shell for my example | 02:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: did you extract the tarball, so you avhe the "inner" tarball, and drag that one into the window? | 02:29 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, the same way ur trying,. but u dont have the neccesary permissions,. by doing what i said earlier it will give u permission to write to the ipod | 02:29 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Might be my version of gnome is too old or something. I really need to upgrade to guty sometime. | 02:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: no, that shouldn't be it. | 02:30 |
| scguy318 | bod_: are you using Nautilus? shows up fine in mine | 02:30 |
| ubuntuo | bod_ but i dont want to manually copy files to my ipod everytime | 02:30 |
| ubuntuo | i have 60 songs to add :( | 02:30 |
| puff | IndyGunFreak: Yeah, I tried it on the extracted inner tar ball, too. | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | dosent that one older release hide a lot of things | 02:30 |
| bod_ | scguy318, wot exactly to u press on? | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntuo, you could set up the ipod to get mounted as the user. Most likely its getting mounted and owned by root. | 02:30 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, u only have to do this once,.,. then it will always work | 02:30 |
| ardchoille | ubuntulog: Are all the songs in mp3 and in the same location? | 02:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | puff: very strange, cuz i got the error you described, when i drug the file to my theme window, but when i drug the "inner" tarball, it worked perfectly | 02:30 |
| scguy318 | ubuntuo: Places -> Computer -> File System -> etc -> fstab | 02:30 |
| Leila | Can yu use GTKPod | 02:31 |
| scguy318 | ubuntuo: oh sorry wrong person | 02:31 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, whats the directory of your ipod? | 02:31 |
| Leila | to transfer songs. | 02:31 |
| scguy318 | bod_: Places -> Computer -> File System -> etc -> fstab | 02:31 |
| ardchoille | ubuntuo: Are all the songs in mp3 and in the same location? | 02:31 |
| bod_ | scguy318, kk hang on | 02:31 |
| hou5ton | ok ... was making headway with getting webcam installed ... and now losing ground. :-( Any help with a webcam? | 02:31 |
| scguy318 | bod_: it definitely shows up there | 02:31 |
| Teligard251 | VirtualBox's site states that it is an issue with PAE support in the Ubuntu kernel. | 02:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | amarok is really good for ipod managing, but you'll have to install KDE libs, but it kills all other ipod managers | 02:31 |
| pvl1 | Leila, probably but rhythmbox can transfer songs to ipod too | 02:31 |
| ubuntuo | yes ardchille | 02:32 |
| bod_ | scguy318, its a screen shot of my files | 02:32 |
| ubuntuo | bod_ i cant find the directory to my ipod, it comes up as USB and says "My Ipod" | 02:32 |
| ubuntuo | i think it might be D or E Drive | 02:32 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, right click on it,. and click properties | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | gtkpod, amarok, rythmbox, banshee, they all manage an ipod well. | 02:33 |
| ubuntuo | it says: computer:/// | 02:33 |
| scguy318 | bod_: bleh I'm behind a router, DCC doesn't work for me at all | 02:33 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, linux doesnt use letters for drives | 02:33 |
| ubuntuo | okay | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:33 |
| bod_ | scguy318, me neither,.,.lol | 02:33 |
| ubuntuo | well it says "computer:///" | 02:33 |
| scguy318 | bod_: but point is, /etc/fstab should be viewable in Nautilus :) | 02:33 |
| ubuntuo | bod_ Under Permission it says "Read-Only" for Owner-Group and Others | 02:33 |
| ubuntuo | should i chaneg those settings? | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntuo: not trying to be a smartass, but Amarok does a pretty good job of autodetecting Ipods, | 02:33 |
| bod_ | scguy318, nope,.,. where online can i put this picture,. so i can show u? | 02:33 |
| scguy318 | bod_: imageshack will do | 02:34 |
| bod_ | scguy318, url? | 02:34 |
| hou5ton | Camora use to see my webcam, and it worked with it ... but it didn't work in Skype, ... so I installed more "stuff" to try getting it working in Skype, and now it doesn't show up anywhere. | 02:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | ubuntuo: as long as the icon for the ipod is on your desktop, amarok will find it adn set it up | 02:34 |
| ubuntuo | IndyGunFreak thanks, i think i used amarok to get my ipod working last time | 02:34 |

| RequinB4 | If on a moniter it says to have Resolution aaaaxaaa and 60Hz, does the 60hz mean the horizontalsync or the vertical referesh | 02:34 |

| scguy318 | RequinB4: vertical refresh | 02:34 |
| MrObvious | bod_: yer | 02:35 |

| bod_ | bkar, where did this sexy neighbour thing come from??? lol | 02:38 |
| scguy318 | darwin81: FAT32 immediately comes to mind | 02:38 |
| puff | That's odd, it says "installing theme" but it doesn't actually put it in the list of themes in the theme manager. | 02:38 |
| scguy318 | darwin81: NTFS mebbe, not sure of its status on Mac OS X | 02:38 |
| scguy318 | darwin81: ext2/3 on Windows needs a third-party file system driver | 02:39 |
| salty | is there a ubuntu embedded channel? | 02:39 |

| bod_ | bkar, windows has a tool for defragmenting ur HD,.,. has ubuntu got a similar tool? | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | !defrag | 02:40 |
| ubotu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 02:40 |
| scguy318 | bod_: not really, defragmentation on Linux is not really necessary | 02:40 |
| ardchoille | bod_: No ned to defrag in Linux, the fs takes care of housekeeping for you :) | 02:40 |

| RequinB4 | Teligard251 - Knoppix'll mount everything for you | 02:57 |
| un_op | Teligard251, that would be an NTFS formatted drive - ubuntu has ntfs support | 02:57 |
| Teligard251 | ok, I'll give it a try | 02:58 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, i dont think were getting the correct volume,.,. use a file browser to search for a music track on your ipod,. then right click it ,.,. properties,. then tell me the exact location | 02:58 |
| Teligard251 | It's a new rendition of NTFS though | 02:58 |
| salty | ubuntuo, i recently realized that if you boot your computer with the item plugged in it stays 'root'...but if you plug it in after you are all ready logged in as user than it is 'user' owned... did ya try that? | 02:58 |
| bkar | Teligard251-> and what do you intend to do, once you copy bit for bit, the entire 750gig ? | 02:58 |

| salty | all my external harddrives do that bod_ | 02:59 |
| ubuntuo | i belive i plugged in my ipod when my computer was already boot up | 02:59 |
| bod_ | salty, the only external thing i own is a 2gig usb stick,.,.lol | 02:59 |
| salty | and ipods are harddrives to the computer | 02:59 |

| bod_ | ubuntuo, unplu/replug | 03:00 |
| sillyputty | How much swap space should one use? If I have 1 gig RAM should I have 2 gigs of swap? And if I'm thinking of upgrading to 4 gigs of RAM should I have 8 gigs of swap? | 03:00 |
| ubuntuo | pl | 03:00 |
| bod_ | sillyputty, 2 gig | 03:00 |
| bod_ | sillyputty, after upgrade,.,. i think its recommended to use twice the ram so yes 8gig | 03:00 |
| bkar | Tucci-> what have you done lately? is it your access point you're connecting to? | 03:00 |
| ubuntuo | ok i just plugged it back in. When i right click Properties it says owner-root still | 03:01 |
| ubuntuo | hmmm | 03:01 |
| sillyputty | bod_: seems like an awful lot of swap space | 03:01 |
| astro76 | sillyputty: yes it is, you need no more than = your ram | 03:01 |
| sillyputty | bod_: on the other hand i do intend to use vmware a lot | 03:01 |
| un_op | ubuntuo, you cant change permissions and ownership on an Ipod, it's formatted as FAT and FAT has no understanding of such | 03:01 |
| bod_ | sillyputty, lol,.,. yer,.,. stick with a lower one then,. its really only personal preference | 03:01 |
| un_op | ubuntuo, you'll just need to mount the ipod correctly | 03:01 |

| jerrcs | mmmm, okay... thanks | 03:03 |

| ader10 | I want to convert a bunch of mp3 audio files from stereo to mono. How would I do that? | 03:05 |

| nemilar | Jupp2: have you checked the dmesg? | 03:06 |
| ader10 | nemilar: Audacity can't do it in one batch conversion, can it? | 03:07 |

| Gidean | Hi all. I'm trying to learn the mount command in order to access my external (usb) drive...How do I check the formatting? What (if it exists) is the cmd? | 03:07 |
| RequinB4 | what is the next step down equivilent of 1440x900 | 03:07 |
| un_op | ubuntuo, errm, i think you'll need a newer version of libgpod -- hold on | 03:07 |
| bkar | Tucci-> you are not dull, you have to select the type of encryption your AP uses, wep,wpa,wpa2 or leal..and match those to the selection on your network manager. also some drivers do not support wpa or wpa2 | 03:07 |
| nemilar | Gidean: 'man mount' will show you the manual for mount | 03:08 |
| ubuntuo | okay | 03:08 |
| ubuntuo | i dont think i have libgpod installed... | 03:08 |
| ubuntuo | let me check | 03:08 |
| ader10 | nemilar: real life situation: You're listening to your iPod. Your friend wants to listen too. You get 2 options: bass or treble. You want both, but too bad. | 03:08 |

| ader10 | :D | 03:08 |
| nemilar | good example | 03:08 |
| bkar | RequinB4-> thats futile, get a real monitor for puter not a TV converted to a monitor | 03:08 |
| ader10 | that weas probably the easiest explanation of a reason I've given here | 03:08 |

| mohbana | i pretty sure ive got it installed its running right now applications->system tools->nvidia settings | 03:21 |
| nemilar | xplozion: I mean, what media player are you using? Are you saying you're getting video but no audio? | 03:21 |

| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: and there's no where on there to change the res? | 03:22 |

| nemilar | stop being so obnoxious | 03:22 |
| Omlette | Is there a video player for Linux that can handle *.mkv files? | 03:22 |
| nemilar | xplozion: and there's no sound, you're saying? | 03:22 |

| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: hmm, | 03:22 |
| kahrytan | nemilar➲ It sucks when people dont | 03:22 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, are you sure you completely removed gtkpod/libgpod2 and installed gtkpod again? | 03:22 |
| kahrytan | help | 03:22 |
| ubuntuo | yes | 03:22 |

| Kamus_H_Zwisch | hello | 03:23 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, unmount your ipod and let gnome mount it for you | 03:23 |
| ubuntuo | because this time it asked me for my model version | 03:23 |
| RequinB4 | Hello Kamus_H_Zwisch | 03:23 |
| ubuntuo | ok | 03:23 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | how to receive spams from gmail in evolution? | 03:23 |
| ubuntuo | how does gnome mount it? | 03:23 |
| nemilar | Omlette: yeah | 03:23 |
| ubuntuo | ok i unmounted and pluged it back no un0p | 03:23 |
| Daisuke_Ido | mmkay, just got back up and running with a fresh hard drive, and used to use kde on a regular basis. is there an equivalent to kde's disks and filesystems applet? (gui tool to manage mountpoints and device fstab settings) | 03:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: i really don't know, something isn't making sense. | 03:24 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, gnome should automount it under /media/<ipod label> | 03:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: are you running nvidia-settings as root? | 03:24 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | how to receive spams from gmail in evolution? | 03:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | *sudo nvidia-settings | 03:24 |
| mohbana | IndyGunFreak yes it prompts for psswrod | 03:24 |
| xplozion | nemilar: any idea? | 03:24 |
| nemilar | Omlette: yeah, it should. Try VLC if nothing else works out of the box | 03:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: ok, i was thinking maybe thats why it wasn't letting you change. | 03:24 |
| nemilar | xplozion: do you have the w32codecs installed? | 03:25 |
| ubuntuo | yes un0p it does to /media/My Ipod | 03:25 |
| emma | Omlette how about VLC ? | 03:25 |
| xplozion | nemilar: i have w64codecs, im running amd64 distro | 03:25 |
| Leila | I installed Digikam and wanted to make a slide show with music. but it said that I needed mp2enc. It is not in the repositories. It is not availabe with apt. I did install ImageMagick but that did not work. Can I fix it. Or, is there another way to make a slide show with music? | 03:25 |
| nemilar | xplozion: true... you might try installing libavcodec1d | 03:25 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, it should be ready for use with gtkpod now | 03:25 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | how to receive spams from gmail in evolution? | 03:25 |

| nemilar | VLC > * | 03:26 |
| xplozion | nemilar: already have it installed | 03:26 |
| ubuntuo | un0p i just tried again, i get the same thing.... as before | 03:26 |
| ubuntuo | that weird error message | 03:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kamus_H_Zwisch: go tot he gmail website, and set your options to not filter spam into the spam folder, and you should receive it... | 03:26 |
| nemilar | xplozion: have you tried multiple files? | 03:26 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, i think you can ignore the "extended info" error the first time (it's normal) .. you shouldnt see it again | 03:26 |
| nemilar | xplozion: or tried to play it in VLC? | 03:26 |
| mohbana | IndyGunFreak i used envy by the way | 03:26 |

| Kamus_H_Zwisch | thanks IndyGunFreak | 03:26 |

| kahrytan | Someone please tell me how to delete a key from kgpg? dev'ers screwed up and made it hard | 03:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | nemilar: well, he does for some reason. | 03:27 |
| nemilar | IndyGunFreak: shudder | 03:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: well, from the sounds of it, its not working with it... | 03:27 |
| ardchoille | nemilar: Sometimes gmail filters legitimate emails into the spam folder by accident | 03:27 |
| nickrud | ubuntuo: if you don't have photos, that's no problem | 03:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | problem is, once you bork your system w/ that Envy mess, its hard to get right again | 03:27 |
| nemilar | ardchoille: yeah, but that's no reason to have it not filter any spa | 03:27 |
| ubuntuo | "Transfer of ' Medicine (Radio Edit)' failed. Error opening '/media/My Ipod/iPod_Control/Music/F01/gtkpod272348.mp3' for writing (Read-only file system)." | 03:27 |

| nemilar | ubuntuo: I sure hope you _paid_ for those mp3s | 03:28 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, errm, did you say you formatted the ipod on a mac? | 03:28 |
| ubuntuo | yes i did | 03:28 |
| ubuntuo | is that a problem? | 03:28 |
| ubuntuo | of course i paid for those mp3s :) 99 cents each | 03:28 |
| Crust | lol | 03:29 |
| xplozion | nemilar: it does play on VLC with sound | 03:29 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, errm iirc you'll need read/write access to the mac partition -- and i'm a little unsure on that | 03:29 |
| nemilar | ubuntuo: then they'd be mp4's, not mp3's ;) ;) | 03:29 |
| Crust | hmmm | 03:29 |
| ubuntuo | :) mewilar that will be our secret | 03:29 |
| ubuntuo | ok well thanks anyways un0p | 03:29 |
| nemilar | lol | 03:29 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, what device is the ipod ? /dev/sdXX ? | 03:30 |
| ubuntuo | sda3 | 03:30 |
| Leila | Thank you much. You don't know how hard it was to find that. mjpegtools. | 03:30 |

| ubuntuo | un0p /dev/sda3 | 03:30 |
| ubuntuo | in terminal? | 03:30 |
| nickrud | Leila: install apt-file , it downloads a database of the files and packages, you can search for things with that | 03:30 |

| * IndyGunFreak doesn't care what RequinB4 says | 03:31 | |
| Leila | Apt-file what a great thing, Many thanks. | 03:32 |
| * nemilar says Ubuntu would be awesome, if not for all the bugs | 03:32 | |
| nemilar | But hey, it's not like I paid for it! | 03:32 |
| * nickrud laughs at IndyGunFreak and RequinB4 | 03:32 | |

| Dr_willis | :P | 03:32 |
| * un0p contemplates ignoring people :) | 03:32 | |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 03:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: smplayer?.. hadn't heard of that one. | 03:32 |
| Dr_willis | !info smplayer | 03:32 |
| ubotu | smplayer (source: smplayer): complete front-end for MPlayer. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 0.5.20-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 816 kB, installed size 2252 kB | 03:32 |
| Leila | Your name is in yellow. are u an administrator? | 03:32 |
| ubuntuo | un0p any ideas? | 03:33 |
| Tucci | bkar: I'm pretty sure that's what Im looking at (not sure where to find the version number tho). It just isn't seeing the network I specified in Network Settings. | 03:33 |
| Dr_willis | a mplayer front end.. that for some reason wont play. heh | 03:33 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, gimme a minute | 03:33 |
| * aragorn is listening to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon | 03:33 | |
| rne1224 | when is hardy coming out? | 03:33 |
| ubuntuo | sure thanks un0p | 03:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: hmm, no clue on taht one. | 03:33 |
| nickrud | rne1224: april or so | 03:34 |
| nemilar | Hardy is slated for 8.04 right? | 03:34 |
| Starnestommy | yes | 03:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | rne1224: Hardy 8.04.. so its due in April 08(4th month, 08yr) | 03:34 |
| bod_ | yer | 03:34 |
| Jakoo | someone can tell me how to kill a process? | 03:34 |
| nemilar | mannnnnn that's going to be so much fun, not using my computer for a day while it downloads and installs 350 packages | 03:34 |
| nickrud | Jakoo: pkill <processname> | 03:34 |
| Jakoo | thankyou | 03:34 |
| bod_ | nickrud, why pkill? | 03:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jakoo: i always use system monitor, but you can use pkill, i just like GUI's for things | 03:34 |
| nickrud | nemilar: do it at night | 03:34 |
| nickrud | bod_: someone who's smarter than I suggested it | 03:35 |
| bod_ | nickrud, why not kill? any idea wot the p does? | 03:35 |
| devlin_ | i was wondering if anyone could help me to install a package from source | 03:35 |
| Kuroachia | Does anyone know why my desktop icons don't show up on my desktop? I can view my desktop from the places menu... but that's in a seperate folder, not on my desktop... heh | 03:35 |
| nemilar | kill just sends a signal to a PID | 03:36 |
| nickrud | bod_: it's p<rocess>kill , it has some other variations, like pgrep | 03:36 |
| nemilar | pkill does lookup functions and whatnot | 03:36 |
| Jakoo | earlier firefox froze with javas and i had to reboot to get it back that's why i needed to know how to kill without reboot | 03:36 |
| bod_ | nickrud, i think kill has to use pid not process names ,. (i might be wrong) maybe it lets u use names | 03:36 |
| nemilar | devlin_: apt-get -b | 03:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | devlin_: depends on the package. | 03:36 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, ok -- try this command- sudo sh -c "umount /dev/sda3; mount -t hfs /dev/sda3 /media/ipod -o rw" | 03:36 |
| nickrud | bod_: pkill is not kill | 03:36 |
| bod_ | nemilar, thanks | 03:36 |
| ubuntuo | ok | 03:36 |
| aragorn | do any of you like the band radiohead ? | 03:37 |
| hidox | mirc.irc.cl | 03:37 |
| bod_ | nickrud, i no | 03:37 |
| nemilar | pkill does lookups, you can kill based on name, user, or other attributes | 03:37 |
| RequinB4 | !offtopic | 03:37 |
| nemilar | kill only does PIDs | 03:37 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:37 |
| Jakoo | so pkill or just kill? | 03:37 |
| mohbana | thanks ive got it working now ... by pure luck | 03:37 |
| nemilar | and killall only does process names | 03:37 |
| bod_ | Jakoo, pkill | 03:37 |
| === talaren is now known as pteague | ||
| Jakoo | ok | 03:37 |
| stephan | with the 64bit ubuntu will i have issues with wine or can i just install as normal in add/remove programs? | 03:37 |
| bod_ | nemilar, i use killall,.,. thanks for clearing up what they do | 03:37 |
| Jakoo | it means process kill i suppose :) | 03:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: now you just have to worry about envy wrecking something | 03:37 |
| nickrud | Kuroachia: try killall nautilus in a terminal, if that doesn't work try gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop make sure it's enabled | 03:37 |
| ubuntuo | un0p: mount: mount point /media/ipod does not exist | 03:38 |
| ubuntuo | thats the error i get | 03:38 |
| mohbana | IndyGunFreak, why do you say that? | 03:38 |
| devlin_ | im trying to install hotspotter-0.4 and i already extracted it, changed directory to where the folder was located and tried to run ./configure and it returned and error | 03:38 |
| ubuntuo | i think the mount is /media/My Ipod | 03:38 |
| nemilar | bod_: yeah I typically use killall, unless there's more than one instance of a process running, and I only want to kill one (for example, "killall bash" would be a bad idea) | 03:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: Envy has hosed more than one system, thats why it isn't supported | 03:38 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntuo, make the mountpoint then.. DONT use spaces in the name. :) | 03:38 |
| bod_ | ubuntuo, its /media/"My Ipod" | 03:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | mohbana: kinda like automjatix. | 03:38 |
| nickrud | Jakoo: kill requires you look up the process number, then kill <processnumber> . pkill is a one step process, the only real difference | 03:38 |
| ader10 | stephan: the trick with 64 bit is to install ia32libs. Once you install that everything should be relatively easy | 03:38 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, sorry - sudo sh -c "umount /dev/sda3; mkdir /media/ipod; mount -t hfs /dev/sda3 /media/ipod -o rw" | 03:38 |
| bod_ | nemilar, lol,. yer dont do that,.,.lol | 03:38 |
| * Dr_willis wants to slap whoever at MS decided to use 'My Whatever' for names | 03:39 | |
| stephan | ader10: thank you, im gonna give the 64bit a shot | 03:39 |
| ader10 | stephan: there are howtos for installing 64 bit applications if you can't figure it out yourself | 03:39 |
| Jakoo | oh ok ;) | 03:39 |
| devlin_ | it returns "./configure: No suck file or directory" | 03:39 |
| nemilar | nickrud: but pkill will send the signal to all patching processes, which might not be good | 03:39 |
| mohbana | ive been running 640 for running 3hrs i am suddenly on 1680 this seems so weird | 03:39 |
| nemilar | nickrud: matching* | 03:39 |
| Jakoo | to get the process number is ps -e? | 03:39 |
| bod_ | un0p, i think he's saying its /media/My Ipod not /media/ipod | 03:39 |
| ader10 | stephan: install it on a different partition than your 32 bit so you have something to fall back to if it doesn't work the way you like it | 03:39 |
| un0p | bod_, i'm intentionally using /media/ipod | 03:40 |
| un0p | bod_, i hate dealing with spaces | 03:40 |
| nickrud | nemilar: a pertinent point | 03:40 |
| ubuntuo | un0p | 03:40 |
| nemilar | spaces are the character of the devil! | 03:40 |
| ubuntuo | i give up | 03:40 |
| ubuntuo | nothing is working... | 03:40 |
| ubuntuo | sigh* | 03:40 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, what happened? | 03:40 |
| bod_ | un0p, ok, but if he uses ur command, it wont work,.,. spaces r fine,. just use quotes ,.,. eg ,.,. /media/"My Ipod" | 03:40 |
| ubuntuo | same as before | 03:40 |
| ubuntuo | just a blank screen with ">" | 03:40 |
| nemilar | bod_: better would be /media/My\ Ipod | 03:40 |
| nickrud | bod_: you mean "/media/My Ipod" | 03:40 |
| nemilar | or "/media/My Ipod" | 03:41 |
| mohbana | hi guys are there any tutorials for installing eclipse, azureus, java. something official would be good i dont mind community docs aswell | 03:41 |
| nemilar | mohbana: those are all in repos | 03:41 |
| rsk | mohbana: all can be installed via the synaptic meny | 03:41 |
| un0p | ubuntuo, make sure you copied that command down right | 03:41 |
| CalvinH | The latest ubuntu kernel release (2.6.22-14.47) causes nfs4 to fail (kernel exception/lock up) | 03:41 |
| wookie | HELLO EVERYBODY!!!! | 03:41 |
| bod_ | nickrud, i thought /media/"My Ipod" worked,.,. nemilar, why is the backslash way better? | 03:41 |
| CalvinH | how do i find if the issue has already been reported? | 03:41 |
| bod_ | wookie, HELLO!!!!!! | 03:41 |
| ubuntuo | i ddi | 03:41 |
| nickrud | mohbana: download eclipse, extract it to /opt , then sudo ln -s /opt/eclipse/eclipse /usr/bin/eclipse | 03:41 |
| stephan | is the "quiet" flag necessary to install ubuntu? not sure of its main function | 03:41 |
| cheddarcheese | lol wookie | 03:41 |
| ubuntuo | did | 03:41 |
| un0p | bod_, why wont it work? the ipod can be mounted anywhere | 03:41 |
| RequinB4 | Hello wookie, please no caps, some people consider it shouting :P | 03:41 |
| Jakoo | just a question is it possible to get a full list of commands somewhere? | 03:42 |
| cheddarcheese | brook u here? | 03:42 |
| nemilar | bod_: it's not better, I just like to say it is, because quotes are also the character of the devil. | 03:42 |
| HAMmy | o_o | 03:42 |
| rsk | CalvinH: search in launchpad | 03:42 |
| CalvinH | cheers | 03:42 |
| bod_ | nemilar, lol,.,. ok | 03:42 |
| wookie | i was kinda shouting though | 03:42 |
| nemilar | bod_: but /media/"My Ipod" is wrong; it's "/media/My Ipod" | 03:42 |
| * cheddarcheese feels out of place | 03:42 | |
| drgeb | when em28xxx startup it is unable to load em28xxx_audio properly anyone know how to fix this ? "em28xx_audio: disagrees about version of symbol snd_pcm_new" | 03:42 |
| wookie | but in a good way | 03:42 |
| bod_ | un0p, because the name of the ipod isnt ipod its My Ipod | 03:42 |
| un0p | nemilar, they both should work | 03:42 |
| bod_ | nemilar, ok cheers,.,. wasnt to sure | 03:42 |
| Dr_willis | Jakoo, you have all the commands in your 'path' and proberly dozens of others tha are not in the default path. I suggest reading some basic bash tutorials/guides for starters | 03:42 |
| Jakoo | i am trying to learn the commands and everytime i have to ask for one | 03:42 |
| julio | Hello folks! Hot to download books from Google Books? Some tuto? | 03:42 |
| Dr_willis | Jakoo, open up a terminaland hit tab a few times. It will complete all the names. | 03:43 |
| un0p | bod_, ok, and? the label of the filesystem has little bearing on how one mounts it or where he mounts it | 03:43 |
| julio | *Any tuto? | 03:43 |
| Dr_willis | !bash Jakoo | 03:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bash jakoo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:43 |
| nemilar | julio: you can't download books from google books | 03:43 |
| Dr_willis | !bash | Jakoo | 03:43 |
| ubotu | Jakoo: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:43 |
| bod_ | un0p, ok,. i thought u were trying to mount something called ipod | 03:43 |
| nemilar | julio: you can search them..if you want to download books, use Project Gutenberg | 03:43 |
| RequinB4 | julio - google books only has a few pages.... | 03:43 |
| nickrud | Jakoo: that's no problem, you'll reach critical mass soon | 03:43 |
| Jakoo | ok thank you very much ;) | 03:43 |

| nemilar | RequinB4: google books has the whole thing, they just don't let you see it all. You can get around it by searching for words and reading a page at a time, but that's....annoying? It's really useful when you're writing a report, though, or something like that. | 03:44 |
| b4taylor | Is there a ubuntu support chan? | 03:44 |
| b4taylor | an** | 03:44 |
| un0p | bod_, it doesnt matter anyway, he's gone - left in an exasperated state :( | 03:44 |
| julio | nemilar, Tankyou man! I find this book: http://books.google.com/books?id=M66WOfYoULYC&pg=PA214&lpg=PA214&dq=putting+a+trash+icon+on+gnome+desktop&source=web&ots=aThWrLWA0k&sig=O3O6gmukDuumbw2Inptl_T11FFc#PPP1,M1 | 03:44 |
| nemilar | this is it | 03:44 |
| bod_ | Jakoo, if u no the name of a command and want to no more about it use man ,.,. eg man killall | 03:44 |
| b4taylor | Ah, ok. | 03:44 |
| RequinB4 | nemilar - did not know that | 03:44 |
| b4taylor | Problem is probably simple. | 03:44 |
| bod_ | un0p, lol,. he's been trying to change permissions on that thing for about an hour | 03:44 |
| Jakoo | oki | 03:45 |
| cxixer | anyone using emc on ubuntu? | 03:45 |

| CalvinH | frick, looks like no one has listed any nfs bugs for the kernel | 03:45 |
| neeto | Sometimes if I leave a program running for a while, like firefox or pidgin, and I come back to it, I won't be able to type in the window. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it? | 03:45 |
| wookie | you go | 03:45 |
| bod_ | Jakoo, go into a terminal and press the tab button twice (without typing anything) | 03:45 |
| un0p | bod_, well, its because he's got a macpod formatted as hfs, and by default hfs volumes are mounted read-only -- i was trying to get him to mount it read-write but ... | 03:45 |
| CalvinH | could someone help me write a decent bug report? | 03:45 |
| b4taylor | So my window decorator shows absulutely huge (possibly max size) text. So does GDM. Turning off the compiz additions fixes it. | 03:45 |
| wookie | JUST GO | 03:45 |
| cheddarcheese | no, you | 03:45 |
| wookie | DANGIT | 03:45 |
| nemilar | RequinB4: offtopic, but it's a life-saver for college papers; skip the library, just use google books to get a quote and add it to your bibliography | 03:45 |
| cheddarcheese | heeee | 03:45 |
| wookie | GOOOOOOOO | 03:45 |
| CalvinH | (I've verified the bug in a VM) | 03:46 |
| b4taylor | And I'm fine with turning it off, it's on a laptop. | 03:46 |

| CalvinH | latest kernel causes an "Kernel Oops" with nfs4 | 03:48 |
| CalvinH | worked before the upgrade | 03:48 |
| nemilar | darn kernels | 03:48 |
| CalvinH | I installed a new system on a virtual machine, got it working with nfs4 | 03:49 |
| CalvinH | then upgraded to the latest ubuntu kernel release | 03:49 |
| CalvinH | "boom" | 03:49 |
| bod_ | will hardy be available as a 64bit release? | 03:49 |
| nemilar | bod_: I would imagine so | 03:49 |
| === LiENUX is now known as LiENUS | ||
| bthornton | CalvinH: This is a known problem with the latest kernel. You'd have to force the version back to the previous verison. | 03:49 |
| Tucci | can anyone help with my wireless? We've put a password on the home network, and now I can't seem to connect even though I'm putting the password in correctly. Anyone have any idea why that might happen? | 03:50 |
| mohbana | can someone help please some sound no longer works | 03:50 |
| bod_ | nemilar, will that be out from the beginning or will we have to wait longer for a 64? | 03:50 |
| CalvinH | bthornton: known problem? Do you have a link? | 03:50 |
| nemilar | bod_: not sure, but I think they normally release at the same time | 03:50 |
| bod_ | nemilar, cool,.,.cheers | 03:50 |
| bod_ | Tucci, dunno,.,. encryption messed me around aswell | 03:50 |
| bthornton | CalvinH: I did at one point (it is a submitted bug), but I don't at the moment. You can Google part of the kernel panic output and probably pull it up. | 03:51 |
| bod_ | mohbana, try rebooting | 03:51 |
| neeto | how does one change the mac address for say, eth0? | 03:51 |
| CalvinH | I'll give it a try. Never tryed to regress a kernel, is it hard? | 03:51 |
| bod_ | does anyone no anything about DMA timeout errors? | 03:51 |

| jeremysan | hi all. im having a sound problem and i dont know the name of my sound card(s). can somebody tell me how to figure out what sound card i have? | 03:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeremysan: open a terminal, lspci | 03:52 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, terminal type lspci | 03:52 |
| Tucci | bod: yeah, I thought so - can you tell me what is supposed to happen if I put in the wrong password? Cuz right now it just accepts it and then doesn't do anything | 03:52 |
| bthornton | CalvinH: If you're running Gutsy, you want to force kernel version 2.6.22-14.46 . The latest version (2.6.22-14.47) is the one with that problem. | 03:53 |
| bod_ | Tucci, dunno m8,.,. i ditched encryption, | 03:53 |

| Dr_willis | The order/#@ of the drives may of changed dthacker You will need to edit the grub menu.lst and reinstall grub to the new hd - it may of jumped ahead of the others in the 'order' | 04:02 |

| ArthurArchnix | Hi. I've tried the following music players, but I haven't felt like I've found the best one for me yet. RythmBox (of course), but the simplicity of it annoys me. I need access to more settings. Amarok (my current favorite), but as I use gnome and a media player every day I want something that doesn't rely on loading the kde libraries just to play music, Exhaile (what I currently use). I've heard of listen, xmms, but I wonder if any | 04:03 |
| KingD | that is gone | 04:03 |
| adub | i have looked online im having slight problem getting the scanning feature to work | 04:03 |
| BetaTest | When I try to install a program it says, "Please install the "i386" version of this program instead." but isn't i386 for Windows? | 04:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | KingD: hang on a sec. | 04:03 |
| b4taylor | ArthurArchnix: Amarok for Gnome would be quite killer. | 04:03 |
| un0p | danbhfive, usually they represent one of the control codes -- ascii codes 0 - 32 .. http://www.unix-manuals.com/refs/misc/ascii-table.html | 04:03 |
| rsk | BetaTest: i386 isn't windows specific no. | 04:03 |
| KingD | I think I might have it | 04:03 |
| un0p | bod_, you can use alsaconf to help you | 04:04 |
| Dr_willis | BetaTest, i386 is a saying the kind of cpu | 04:04 |
| dthacker | Dr_willis: I have removed the other drive, and returned the other drive back to it's original position. | 04:04 |
| BetaTest | Ah, thank you Dr_willis | 04:05 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, ok,.,. right click on the picture of a speaker in the top right hand side of ur screen,.,. select open sound cntrol,.,. then a screen comes up,.,. click file--> change device and select the intergrated one | 04:05 |
| danbhfive | un0p: cool, thanks, I may be able to use that | 04:05 |

| IndyGunFreak | KingD: try this, right cilck your desktop, choose create launcher, Type: Application in Terminal, then Name(whatever), command: gnome-panel | 04:05 |
| bod_ | un0p, whats the command for it? | 04:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | hten double click the icon on your desktop | 04:05 |
| un0p | bod_, alsaconf (you might need to install the package by the same name) | 04:05 |
| bod_ | un0p, ok il try | 04:06 |
| KingD | I clicked on the bottom panel and clicked add new panel then add the things I need to it | 04:06 |

| foxray | what is the difference between the nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new packages in synaptic? | 04:06 |

| ZarfPunit | the ubuntu model for sparcs? where to? can anyone help? | 04:07 |
| goldsnipe1 | un0p: i reboot and now i can update!!!! thanks anyway | 04:07 |

| techgeek40 | Where would I find drivers for my onboard audio card (it's a ALC888 | 04:07 |
| Dr_willis | goldsnipe1, not really. | 04:07 |

| jeremysan | bod_ alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device | 04:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | kingD: if you have your bottom just right click it, new panel, and move that panel to the top, then add things you wan tto it. | 04:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: what audio card is it? | 04:08 |
| nemilar | ZarfPunit: I don't think Ubuntu releases for Sparc | 04:08 |
| Fernieite | hi | 04:08 |
| dthacker | Dr_willis: will the ubuntu live CD work? I'm booted on that now. | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | goldsnipe1, theres proberly tools that can do a similer thing. but ivbe never needed them | 04:08 |
| un0p | bod_, interesting, doesnt seem to exist in any ubuntu distribution - but exists in debian | 04:08 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, have u ever had sound in ubuntu? | 04:08 |
| Fernieite | hi | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | dthacker, should | 04:08 |
| techgeek40 | Indy: I believe it's the realtek HD audio | 04:08 |
| b4taylor | ArthurArchnix: Yeah, I don't believe my music player should eat up my CPU. | 04:08 |
| Dr_willis | dthacker, it pays to read up on all the ins and outs of grub. :) | 04:08 |
| KingD | I was trying to get my kiba dock working | 04:08 |
| goldsnipe1 | Dr_willis, i just reinstalled ubuntu for the third time | 04:09 |

| bod_ | un0p, jeremysan has a prob,.,. he has a motherboard sound card and a different one,.,. lspci finds both,.,. but alsa doesnt recognize either,,.,. any thoughs? | 04:09 |
| jeremysan | bod_ yes, as you suggested, (and I have already tried this in before) when I physically uninstall my PCI sound card, and then turn on my computer in Ubuntu, sound works, which means that my other sound card (integrated) does work. | 04:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | techgeek40: well, open a terminal and see what the output of lspci is(it should identify your sound card there), and tell me how it identifies it. | 04:09 |

| astro76 | mactimes: that's impossible, with physical access anything can be done, you must limit physical access | 04:37 |
| danbhfive | FluxD: but you have to manually change your sources too, its better to use the upgrade-manager | 04:37 |
| FluxD | astro76: I am on 6.06 server edition logged in using ssh as root so these command will still work right? | 04:37 |
| FluxD | danbhfive: I am on 6.06 server edition logged in using ssh as root so these command will still work right? | 04:38 |

| danbhfive | FluxD: I don't think they will work, but they certainly wont hurt. Hardy will have a direct upgrade path if you are willing to wait | 04:39 |
| mumra1 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53635/ | 04:39 |
| astro76 | mactimes: the root account is disabled by default, this is not the problem | 04:39 |
| mactimes | astro76: I mean, it is already disabled, right? | 04:39 |
| astro76 | mactimes: I can stick any livecd in a machine and do what I want, the only thing you can do is possibly use encryption to protect sensitive data | 04:39 |
| FluxD | danbhfive: so stay with 6.06 ? | 04:39 |
| mactimes | astro76: That sounds exactly what I'm looking for. | 04:40 |
| FluxD | astro76: I am on 6.06 server edition logged in using ssh as root so these command will still work right? | 04:40 |
| eddi1 | is it possible to completely delete an administrator account(given that there are more than one such accounts) | 04:40 |
| mactimes | astro76: How can I enable encryption for everything on the server? | 04:40 |

| astro76 | FluxD: um if you are really logged in as root then you don't use sudo | 04:41 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, open a text editor and copy and paste the text from :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53636/ then save the file as asound.conf in the /etc/ folder ,.,. so ur path will be /etc/asound.conf | 04:41 |
| danbhfive | FluxD: like a person said, you would have to upgrade like 4 times to get the latest, where as when hardy comes out, you will only have to upgrade once. Its up to you | 04:41 |
| astro76 | mactimes: encrypted filesystems, it's not for the faint of heart though | 04:41 |
| FluxD | danbhfive: I guess I will test and see :) | 04:41 |

| spdf | rnisly, sudo apt-get install nvidia-kernel-common | 04:48 |
| n2diy_ | ! radiohead | 04:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about radiohead - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:48 |
| astro76 | mactimes: check /etc/shadow, see if the root line has a hashed password in the second field, or a ! | 04:48 |
| * regeya does that just because if he discusses anything remotely not totally specific to ubuntu, he hgets hit about the head with a cluestick | 04:48 | |
| spdf | rnisly, rather, probably best to go through the restricted modules configuration tool | 04:49 |
| Arbitrary | join me in #lowtech for random chatter | 04:49 |
| bod_ | radiohead doesnt exist in gutsy,.,. according to ubotu | 04:49 |
| regeya | example: I was warned a while back for answering a ruby question that wasn't an ubuntu ruby installation question. | 04:49 |
| mactimes | astro76: it has a ! | 04:49 |
| rnisly | spdf how do i do that | 04:49 |
| mactimes | astro76: Thanks a lot! =) | 04:49 |
| astro76 | you're welcome | 04:50 |
| spdf | rnisly, do you recall when starting up X there being something on the upper panel about restricted drivers and enabling them? | 04:50 |
| bod_ | regeya, its a bit ott but it stops annying floods of useless stuff | 04:50 |
| aragorn | i installed ubuntu just this morning | 04:50 |
| bod_ | kl | 04:50 |
| spdf | rnisly, I'm ssh'd into mind right now, so I can't see on my desktop, but I recall there being an option under System -> Administration | 04:50 |
| jeremysan | bod_ alright, i rebooted and still coming up with no sound. | 04:50 |

| regeya | wouldn't call a question about a programming language offtopic...but okay, you got me there. radiohead is right out. so, aragorn, king of the last remnants of the numenorian line, do you like ubuntu? | 04:51 |
| danbhfive | spdf: rnisly: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager | 04:51 |
| astro76 | !ohmy | bod_ | 04:51 |
| ubotu | bod_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 04:51 |
| rnisly | no, but there is an error that says failed to load nvidia kernel module, adn another that says screens found but none have a usable configuration | 04:51 |
| FluxD | What happened to sourc 0 matic ? | 04:51 |
| rnisly | danbhfive anything for kde? | 04:51 |
| aragorn | regeya: yes, ubuntu is excellent! | 04:51 |
| jeremysan | bod_ nope, same as before. it says no volume control...... | 04:51 |
| bod_ | astro76, my bad,.,. censored it though | 04:51 |
| spdf | rnisly, ahh, kubuntu | 04:52 |
| aragorn | regeya: i had previously used windows xp | 04:52 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, im afraid that is as far as my knowledge of sound goes,.,. sorry m8 | 04:52 |
| astro76 | bod_: doesn't matter ;) | 04:52 |
| danbhfive | rnisly: try the terminal restricted-manager maybe | 04:52 |

| astro76 | FluxD: http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/ | 04:52 |
| jeremysan | bod_ no problem. thanks for takin the time to help | 04:52 |
| FluxD | astro76: yes sadly | 04:52 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, no probs m8,.,. try getting a better sound card,.,.lol | 04:53 |
| regeya | regeya: coping with the differences well? hopefully you are; ubuntu is quite logical in many ways. xp attempted to monkeypatch some of the difficulties of pre-xp installs, but it always felt a little hackish. personally I use kubuntu, but to eac htheir own :-) | 04:53 |
| jeremysan | bod_ hahah. | 04:53 |
| un0p | jeremysan, still having problems choosing the default sound device? | 04:53 |
| fatedkiss | anyone know anything bout chroot? or debootstrap? | 04:53 |
| jeremysan | un0p yes | 04:53 |
| spdf | rnisly, you'll need to add ther restricted repo to your apt sources | 04:53 |

| regeya | not monkeypatch... | 04:53 |
| regeya | bondo | 04:54 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, hey :) | 04:54 |
| regeya | monkeypatch is something different entirely | 04:54 |
| bod_ | un0p, this is for jeremysan ,.,. does this look good to u? :http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53636/ | 04:54 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, i have a question for ya when your free | 04:54 |
| jack-desktop | how can you change the font in firefox to be smaller by default? http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/1853/screenshotiw9.png i've tried using the internal settings for firefox, tried changing the dpi on my computer.. nothing is working | 04:54 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, go ahead | 04:54 |

| jeremysan | un0p i dont think i am able to open my volume control. every time i try it says: "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. | 04:55 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, ill actually have to pastebiin the question, ubotu dont like flooding ; ; | 04:55 |
| spdf | rnisly, what what is? | 04:56 |
| rnisly | bod_ : xorg works without acceleration, but once acceleration is turned on than it stops working | 04:56 |
| rnisly | spdf : the restricted repo | 04:56 |
| bod_ | rnisly, have u got the correct drivers for graph card? | 04:56 |
| rnisly | i did what was on ubuntuguide's site earlier | 04:56 |
| un0p | bod_, i'm not sure about the syntax | 04:56 |
| rnisly | bod_ : nvidia-glx-new | 04:56 |
| bod_ | un0p, got it from the site u gave me ,.,.:http://seehuhn.de/pages/alsa | 04:57 |
| un0p | bod_, jeremysan, but i found out what ubuntu's alternative to alsaconf is -- asoundconf | 04:57 |
| bod_ | rnisly, dunno,,. should work,.,. | 04:57 |
| rnisly | thats what i thoguth too | 04:57 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, sure, go ahead | 04:57 |
| rnisly | when i run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it works if i choose the nv driver, but not if i choose nvidia driver | 04:57 |
| danbhfive | rnisly: is your kernel uptodate? | 04:58 |
| apallo | Hello everyone! | 04:58 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, type this in a terminal : asoundconf set-default-card Realtek ALC 880 | 04:58 |
| un0p | jeremysan, asoundconf list -- should list the cards, asoundconf set-default-card <cardname> should set the default | 04:58 |
| rnisly | danbhfive : how do i find that? | 04:59 |
| un0p | bod_, jeremysan might need to quote "Realtek ALC 880" | 04:59 |
| apallo | is there a way to force ubuntu to throttle the cpu in my laptop? | 04:59 |
| spdf | rnisly, you also need nvidia-kernel-common | 04:59 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, actually type this :asoundconf set-default-card "Realtek ALC 880" | 04:59 |
| bod_ | un0p, good point ,.,. cheers | 04:59 |
| Breakage | Hi, I'm trying to stream a divx file from stage6 though mplayer without firefox just using mplayer>open>play url.., divx files from the hdd work fine with mplayer. but when i try to steam it just freezes and i have to kill it. how do i fix this? | 05:00 |
| rnisly | spdf : nvidia-kernel-common is already the newest version | 05:00 |
| jeremysan | bod_ , un0p , alright I entered " asoundconf set-default-card "Realtek ALC 880" " and then apparently nothing happened. should i try to reboot? | 05:01 |
| un0p | jeremysan, you should try playing something | 05:01 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, if there is no output it means it has worked | 05:01 |
| spdf | rnisly, try sudo nvidia-glx-config enable | 05:01 |
| danbhfive | rnisly: try turning compiz off | 05:01 |
| danbhfive | rnisly: but listen to spdf more | 05:01 |
| bod_ | lol | 05:02 |
| meoblast001 | hello.... can anyone help explain to me why dgen has a segfault upon launch on my ps3 but works fine on my i386 laptop?.... and can someone also tell me why after performing "apt-get upgrade" and waiting a few hours on my ps3 for it to do "upgrades", it is still in feisty? | 05:02 |
| rnisly | spdf : ran that and it still doesn't work | 05:02 |
| rnisly | danbhfive : is turned off | 05:02 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, any joy? | 05:03 |
| astro76 | meoblast001: no idea about the ps3, but it's dist-upgrade | 05:03 |
| meoblast001 | k | 05:03 |
| spdf | rnisly, still the same in Xorg.0.log? kernel driver not found? | 05:03 |
| Arbitrary | the PS3 only has 256 MB O ram | 05:03 |
| jeremysan | un0p, bod_, well i tried playing a song and no sound. also there is still a speaker in the top right corner with a red restricted sign, so no apparent changes. | 05:03 |
| meoblast001 | now i need to figure out why dgen doesnt work... i think the powerpc version might be messed up | 05:03 |
| bod_ | jeremysan, reboot | 05:03 |
| spdf | rnisly, rather, failed to load | 05:03 |
| jeremysan | bod_ alright, brb | 05:04 |
| meoblast001 | is there any possible way to get an i386 binary to run on Cell (powerpc) | 05:04 |
| spdf | rnisly, have you restarted since you installed the packages? | 05:04 |
| bullgard4 | man gnome-system-monitor writes: "You can access detailed memory maps." Where will I find the 'detailed memory maps' in System Monitor? | 05:04 |
| rnisly | spdf : yes and yes | 05:04 |
| Arbitrary | no, an i386 binary will not run on a cell processor | 05:04 |
| spdf | rnisly, lsmod | grep nvidia | 05:04 |
| Arbitrary | you can recompile the source code of course | 05:04 |
| Breakage | Hi, I'm trying to stream a divx file from stage6 though mplayer without firefox just using mplayer>open>play url.., divx files from the hdd work fine with mplayer. but when i try to steam it just freezes and i have to kill it. how do i fix this | 05:05 |
| meoblast001 | Arbitrary: are there any emulators that can...... because i cant get the source to compile right (i get some recursive-all error) and the powerpc binary segfaults upon loading of a rom file | 05:05 |
| spdf | Breakage, no error on the command line? | 05:05 |
| Breakage | spdf: hold on, ill check | 05:05 |
| Arbitrary | well, you could try qemu | 05:06 |
| Arbitrary | or some such thing | 05:06 |
| Arbitrary | but it hardly seems necessary | 05:06 |

| moo_cow | apallo, underclock the cpu if possible | 05:09 |
| Arbitrary | woops | 05:09 |

| nate_ | soooo, does the flash player not work in firefox? | 05:09 |
| nate_ | on 7.10? | 05:09 |
| n2diy_ | Is there an LTS channel for Ubuntu? | 05:09 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, ok its a long paste >.> | 05:09 |
| mkquist | nate_: works fine | 05:09 |
| nate_ | mkquist, which package gives me it then? | 05:10 |
| apallo | my proc does, i wanted to know if gutsy did | 05:10 |
| jeremysan | mkquist: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53639/ | 05:10 |
| bullgard4 | n2diy_: I don't think so. | 05:10 |
| moo_cow | apallo, your proc does what? | 05:10 |
| zhanx | LadyNikon, it work "i believe" you just got to remap the shorcut keys the fun, which you can goggle to do | 05:10 |
| apallo | erm, i didn't see all of what you were saying | 05:10 |
| n2diy_ | bullgard4: that is as shame, why do they call LTS then? | 05:11 |
| apallo | i'm on an IBM (one of the last lol), so the bios doesn't really allow for underclocking | 05:11 |
| astro76 | n2diy_: the channel is this one | 05:11 |
| meoblast001 | Arbitrary: http://www.pastebin.ca/874274 | 05:11 |
| nate_ | mkquist, ??? | 05:11 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, pm me | 05:11 |
| spdf | rnisly, try another restart and check dmesg again | 05:11 |
| EmmerP | does anyone knows the webcam app Cheese? It makes ubuntu X server crash when I try to record a video... | 05:11 |
| apallo | i wanted to see if there's an app somewhere that i can get to allow me to change my cpu freq through ACPI | 05:11 |
| astro76 | n2diy_: and the LTS just refers to package security updates and how long the repository is maintained | 05:12 |
| moo_cow | apallo, does the proc support cpu frequency scaling? | 05:12 |
| nate_ | mkquist, i have flashplugin-nonfree, and it's not working | 05:12 |
| apallo | it's a centrino duo, so yes | 05:12 |
| nate_ | anyone else? | 05:12 |
| apallo | !ubotu flash | 05:13 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 05:13 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 05:13 |
| n2diy_ | astro76: fine business, were would I find 6.06 now, if I wanted to DL it? | 05:13 |
| astro76 | n2diy_: still at ubuntu.com | 05:13 |
| meoblast001 | Arbitrary: any idea? | 05:13 |
| moo_cow | apallo, then right click the gnome panel>add to panel > cpu frequency scaling applet and the do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets" after that, right click the gnome applet and you should be able to throttle the speed. | 05:13 |
| n2diy_ | astro76: so I'm out of luck with shipit.com? | 05:14 |

| Arbitrary | join me in #lowtech for idle chat | 05:14 |
| bullgard4 | n2diy_: The reason for that name is that Canonical feels itself committed to remove bugs and provide security updates "for a long time". A support in the form of information to non-paying users is done via the same means as for 'short time versions'. | 05:14 |

| fatedkiss | un0p, would the bootstrap command been the first command in that section? | 05:22 |
| Ashex | i've got a directory full of html files, and I need to find one that has a specific link in it. I just can't remember which one it is :/ | 05:22 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, because that one went through ok, i was thinkign it could be becaus ei never installed the linux32 package? | 05:22 |
| Arbitrary | grep | 05:22 |
| speedy | Stephen-Mason, you need to be specific with questions otherwise no one will answer you. Do you think we have a magic bullet? | 05:23 |

| un0p | fatedkiss, well, debootstrap should have taken care of everything-- run it again, hopefully you will correct the issue this time around | 05:23 |
| speedy | the flash plugin is not broken | 05:23 |
| speedy | it works just fine | 05:23 |
| speedy | as proven today | 05:23 |
| rnisly | spdf : i can backup and reinstall too | 05:23 |
| speedy | his probelm is nothing to do with something not working, its to do with him not knowing what he is doing | 05:24 |
| tritium | speedy: it has been broken for some time | 05:24 |
| speedy | tritium, theni dont understand how it just works | 05:24 |
| speedy | if its "broken" | 05:24 |

Can someone please help me in trying to install these drivers.. i am totall new to linux have | 05:24 |
| marx2k | wow.. jEdit is just pissing me off. ROYALLY | 05:24 |
| marx2k | :) | 05:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | mkquist: once its installed, its no prob, the issue is installing it, but if you download the soruce from adobe, it will install in 10sec | 05:24 |
| spdf | rnisly, its not 64bit, right? | 05:24 |
| proq | well it works somewhat decently on linux IA32, but pretty poorly on AMD 64 | 05:24 |
| speedy | tritium, to be honest, i checked out the claims that it was broken, and i couldnt replicate the error accross several machines | 05:25 |
| rnisly | spdf : 32bit | 05:25 |
| tritium | speedy: nevertheless, it was broken (no quotes necessary) | 05:25 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, ok question on when it told me to install linux32 package i was going to but i said it was also gunna rmeove 4 files and one was an esental package | 05:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | livewire3030: what nvidia card? | 05:25 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, called util-linux | 05:25 |
| livewire3030 | quadro nvs 135 | 05:25 |
| tuxmaniac | any idea on gtalk voice chat support in Ubuntu? | 05:25 |
| mkquist | IndyGunFreak: ic | 05:25 |
| astro76 | marx2k: I tried using jedit for awhile... yeah | 05:25 |
| Stephen-Mason | lol, ok i have a geforce go6400 graphics card and when i go to enable visual features i get the following error message the software sourse for the package nvidia-glx-new is not enabled. i press close, it says please run appearance/desktop effects again after restarting computer when the new graphics driver is active. i restart go back in i get the same set of messages? | 05:26 |
| speedy | Stephen-Mason, you havent got the drivers installed | 05:26 |
| Stephen-Mason | i know, lol, how do i install them? :S | 05:26 |
| speedy | can you change your name to something i can easily tab complete too? | 05:26 |
| tritium | !nvidia | Stephen-Mason | 05:26 |

| bod_ | Speedylol | 05:27 |
| bod_ | speedy, lol | 05:27 |
| speedy | ? | 05:27 |
| bod_ | speedy, change ur name cause i cant be bothered to type it | 05:28 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, but are you running that command in the chroot?? | 05:28 |
| tritium | bod_: you can't be bothered to type any word properly, it seems | 05:28 |
| speedy | bod_, sounds about right ;) | 05:28 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, because if you are, you shouldn't be prompted to remove anything | 05:28 |
| tritium | bod_, aka, Mr. AIM-Speak | 05:28 |
| bod_ | tritium, so | 05:29 |
| speedy | i hate the way this chan is practically tech support | 05:29 |
| speedy | thats what the forums are for | 05:29 |
| speedy | jeez | 05:29 |
| bod_ | lol | 05:29 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, i was actually trying to install it with synaptic first..that told me touninstall them, i then tryed apt-get | 05:29 |
| bod_ | dont do this,. dont do that | 05:29 |
| tritium | speedy: no, that's what this channel is for as well | 05:29 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, i wasnt in the chroot dir | 05:29 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, you need to follow instructions to the letter otherwise you could wreck your current system | 05:29 |
| bod_ | tritium, this channel is for general support for ubuntu,.,. not just technical questions | 05:29 |
| Breakage | spdf: hmm, strange it was already commented out under /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf but when i load it under Multimedia>Mplayer movie player "gmplayer". Still freezes. | 05:30 |
| tritium | bod_: trust me, as an op in this channel, I know its purpose | 05:30 |
| speedy | tritium, i would of assumed you would prefer people to consult the well documented forums regarding things such as basic installation of drivers rather then come here and ask questions trailed with lols ? | 05:30 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, im pretty sure i did i was just copying and pasting, weverything seemed to go through ok | 05:30 |
| tritium | speedy: the forums haven't always even been official. This channel always has. | 05:30 |
| spdf | rnisly, its not a laptop is it? | 05:30 |
| bod_ | tritium, that may be its purpose but its not what its used for | 05:30 |
| speedy | tritium, that hatdly makes a difference to what i just said | 05:31 |
| speedy | *hardly | 05:31 |
| rnisly | spdf : nope custom made desktop | 05:31 |
| tritium | speedy: you would *have* assumed, eh? | 05:31 |
| un0p | fatedkiss, like i was saying yesterday - the chroot is that seperate compartment on your OS, its seperate from the main OS so what you do in it, doesnt affect the main OS and vice versa -- the fact that you were prompted to remove something suggests to me that you committed those commands outside the chroot | 05:31 |
| tritium | bod_: sure it is. | 05:31 |
| speedy | tritium, way to ignore my point -_- | 05:32 |
| Stephen-Mason | i dont get it? all that link says is tick the box and it will work but it doesnt? | 05:32 |
| Stephen-Mason | do i have to download something? | 05:32 |
| bod_ | tritium, i come here, to get help, and to help others, that doesnt mean i can only help them if they have a technical question does it? | 05:32 |
| tritium | speedy: I'm not, it's just not worth debating, as it's offtopic | 05:32 |
| speedy | Stephen-Mason, tick the box then click ok, then restart | 05:32 |
| moo_cow | which of these required dependency packages for vlc are not included with ubuntu by default? http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/graphics/vlc | 05:33 |
| tritium | bod_, speedy: if you want to discuss further, do so in #ubuntu-offtopic, please | 05:33 |
| bod_ | tritium, actually its completely on-topic,.,. being as it concerns this channel | 05:33 |
| bod_ | tritium, will u join us? | 05:33 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, right..i maybe didnt read it right i wasnt tryigng to install the linux32 pack inside chroot | 05:33 |
| Frappe79 | Hi guys, I am new to Ubuntu 7.10. Have an acer 4064 (2yrs old) and completely removed xp. I have tried to follow wikis to get Flash working in my browser however its not working. I have also tried to get wireless working, but no luck also. My wireless card is an internal Intel 2200bg and also have a PCMCIA Card which has a D-Link G630 wireless card. These devices worked flawlessly on windows, but now it doesnt do anything. | 05:33 |
| Stephen-Mason | i get an error tho? saying the software source package is not avalable? | 05:33 |
| tritium | bod_: for a while | 05:33 |
| speedy | tritium, is there a channel that is on-topic but not support? | 05:33 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, it was indeed outside. i probably just misunderstood what you said or something, sorry >.> | 05:33 |
| Stephen-Mason | i tryed it earlyer and it gave me the same message after i restarted? | 05:33 |
| speedy | like, an ubuntu channel with clever people that arent talking "off-topic" but at the same time aren't asking for basic tech support? | 05:34 |
| Stephen-Mason | the driver was still disabled? | 05:34 |
| spdf | rnisly, go to KMenu -> System Settings, Advanced Tab, and click Restricted Drivers | 05:34 |
| tritium | speedy: #ubuntu-offtopic, please | 05:34 |

| Frappe79 | thanks ubotu, any tips on the wireless? | 05:35 |
| speedy | tritium, so where can i go to talk about all things ubuntu that ISNT tech support? | 05:35 |
| astro76 | speedy: in #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:35 |
| un_op | speedy, is it even ubuntu related? | 05:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | !wireless | Frappe79 | 05:35 |
| speedy | thats off topic though | 05:35 |
| ubotu | Frappe79: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:35 |
| speedy | therfore no ubuntu cvhat | 05:35 |
| speedy | *chat | 05:35 |
| bod_ | un_op, its completely ubuntu related,.,. this is the argument | 05:35 |
| tritium | speedy: I've told you. Continue this discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic. Last time I'm goign to tell you... | 05:35 |
| astro76 | speedy: no support in offtopic, ubuntu is fine | 05:36 |
| rnisly | spdf : restricted-manager-kde? | 05:36 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, sudo chroot /var/chroot/gutsy whats that do exactly? | 05:36 |
| speedy | astro76, but its off-topic, therefore not about ubuntu | 05:36 |
| spdf | rnisly, that sounds about right (I don't use KUbuntu, so I'm flying on fumse here lol) | 05:36 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, that changes the root to the choot so that you can begin installing stuff in there | 05:36 |
| bod_ | speedy, tritium, are you gonna join me in #ubuntu-offtopic? | 05:37 |
| tritium | bod_: you're last to join | 05:37 |
| un_op | speedy, if it's ubuntu related, it can stay here | 05:37 |
| bod_ | oops | 05:37 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, so would i run that command then use w-get to install linux32? | 05:37 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, does the howto suggest you do that? | 05:38 |
| rnisly | spdf : i tried enabling the restricted driver earlier and it didn't work... still doesn't... don't worry about it, i can reinstall | 05:38 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, no thats kinda how i got thrown off earlier all it says to do is install the package, so when i did i got the promt to remove others | 05:38 |
| meoblast001 | i ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade..... then restarted.... and im still running feisty... why? | 05:38 |
| Stephen-Mason | ok just try to restart but i still cant enable the driver? | 05:39 |
| spdf | meoblast001, did it actually upgrade any packages? | 05:39 |
| silent_ | meoblast001, chances are you're running bits of both if the command did something | 05:39 |
| un_op | meoblast001, because you didnt update your sources.list file ? | 05:39 |
| adante | hm | 05:39 |
| spdf | meoblast001, pretty sure there's more to it than that.. | 05:39 |
| jrib | meoblast001: because that is not how you (are supposed to) upgrade in ubuntu | 05:39 |
| jrib | !upgrade > meoblast001 (read the private message from ubotu) | 05:39 |
| adante | periodically there is something that is setting my pcm volume to 0, anybody think of an easy way for me to find out what it is | 05:39 |
| silent_ | meoblast001, there's no great hurdle to distro upgrading... it's just newer packages and added packages | 05:39 |
| silent_ | meoblast001, there can be issues however... which is why I just download the latest cd image | 05:40 |
| meoblast001 | well anyways... i dont think gutsy would have fixed the problem im having anyways | 05:40 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, you didnt run the command in the chroot if you were prompted to remove something | 05:40 |
| * spdf waits for release dates, he hates breakage. | 05:40 | |
| bullgard4 | astro76: I found it finally. -- Thank you. | 05:40 |
| meoblast001 | i think the program im trying to run just wasn't ever tested on CELL | 05:40 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, right..but i wasnt promted to..thats why im confused..because what im undertsnading is your saying i should.. | 05:41 |

| fatedkiss | un0p, "If you are running a 64bit kernel and install a 32bit chroot (architectures i386, lpia on amd64, sparc, powerpc), add the line | 05:44 |
| fatedkiss | personality=linux32 | 05:44 |
| fatedkiss | and install the linux32 package. This avoids prefix each schroot command with the linux32 command. | 05:44 |

| Arbitrary | here's a question I've been wondering about for a while, I have a cheap laptop with an ATI X1100 graphics chip, it works with the ATI 1250 and the X300 drivers for linux, but when I boot on the battery, the screen just turns white, when I boot on the AC adapter, everything works...what do you guys think? | 05:51 |
| Topooceannes | Thanks a lot mkquist | 05:51 |
| bazhang | Stephen-Mason: have you read the nvidia setup link and followed the steps? | 05:51 |

| Stephen-Mason | yes the restricted driver | 05:51 |

| fritsy4 | how easy would it be for me to downgrade from gutsy to fesity while keeping all my data/settings? | 05:51 |
| bazhang | pvl1: sounds like the driver--you didnt use envy did you? :] | 05:51 |
| kbrosnan | vrkhans: /usr/lib/firefox | 05:51 |
| Stephen-Mason | yes? i think, you go to the thing tick it enable restart? did i miss something? | 05:52 |
| pvl1 | bazhang, i uninstalled it!!! thats probably it!!! but like it didnt need envy tho. ima try getting it back. thanks for brining this to my attention | 05:52 |
| bazhang | Arbitrary: yeah I had that problem--the battery sounds iffy | 05:52 |
| bazhang | pvl1: yeah, envy is not needed--the regular driver should do you fine | 05:53 |
| bazhang | ughh need to get a new kb | 05:53 |
| l3ttuc3 | pvl1 i've tried that thing for flash, even tried getting the tarball and .rpm from adobe, it installs to opera's plugin directory, but flash still does not work. | 05:53 |
| fritsy4 | in other words - how do i downgrade to feisty while keeping all my data /settings? | 05:53 |
| vrkhans | thansk | 05:53 |
| bazhang | !downgrade | fritsy4 | 05:53 |
| ubotu | fritsy4: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 05:53 |
| pvl1 | l3ttuc3, oh, sorry i just saw fdlash and put that in, doubt i can help but whats wrong? | 05:54 |
| bazhang | l3ttuc3: we are all waiting for the flash fix :[ | 05:54 |
| Arbitrary | the battery seems fine, fully charged and all | 05:54 |
| pvl1 | bazhang, still mightve messed with my driver so ill try getting it back | 05:54 |
| bazhang | Arbitrary: that is odd.. | 05:54 |
| fritsy4 | bazhang, ok , is there a way to resintall and somehow keep the settings? | 05:54 |
| bazhang | Arbitrary: what about starting with ac and then going to battery? | 05:55 |
| Sonderblade | how do you check which package that has installed a certain file? | 05:55 |
| Flannel | fritsy4: Move /home to a different partition, back up /etc, reinstall feisty around it. | 05:55 |
| l3ttuc3 | bazhang how do you mean? pvl1 well, no matter what method i use to install flash, it just does not work. | 05:55 |
| bazhang | Arbitrary: what happens then | 05:55 |
| Flannel | Sonderblade: dpkg -S [file] | 05:55 |
| nickrud | Sonderblade: dpkg -S /path/to/file | 05:55 |
| atm0sph | Flannel backup /etc when you reformat? | 05:55 |
| pvl1 | l3ttuc3, well im, not sure but i dont think i got it to work eityher. i just messed with firefox plugins untill it worked | 05:55 |
| fritsy4 | Flannel, if i do that ,teh new install will naturally create its own /home , no? thenm i will have two /home? | 05:55 |
| Flannel | atm0sph: back it up to your homedir or whatnot, yeah. If he's made any global config file changes. | 05:55 |
| nickrud | l3ttuc3: I think you have to use the latest opera beta to use the new flash, it has a new plugin interface | 05:56 |
| Sonderblade | Flannel: nickrud thanks | 05:56 |
| Flannel | fritsy4: no. When you do the instlal, you'll mark your old home as /home, telling the installer to not format that partition. | 05:56 |
| l3ttuc3 | pvl1 oh, and if i try to get the firefox plugin, it'll tell me it's downloading it, but i seem to recall it also said it didn't install it for some reason. | 05:56 |
| atm0sph | fritsy4, you copy your old home folder to your new one, then login as yourself - enabel the ROOT account, logout, then chown your home folder | 05:56 |
| Stephen-Mason | have you got a link to the nvidia set up guide ill take a look at it? i think i followed the steps tho? | 05:56 |
| bazhang | !nvidia | 05:56 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:56 |
| l3ttuc3 | nickrud opera 9.53 thereabouts? how come 9.23 doesn't? | 05:56 |
| fatedkiss | <.< un_op i got ..somehow disconnected, did you get what i was able to last say? | 05:56 |
| l3ttuc3 | work, i mean. | 05:56 |
| pvl1 | l3ttuc3, oh. idk then. im just waiting for adobe to fix it. | 05:57 |
| fritsy4 | Flannel, ok, after i reinstall do i replace the backed-up /etc to the new /etc? | 05:57 |
| pvl1 | whic reminds me. pdf is always so for me on any computer | 05:57 |
| pvl1 | y use it? | 05:57 |
| l3ttuc3 | pvl1 been a week or two :( still no change! pdf? | 05:57 |
| fritsy4 | atm0sph, in that case i will have two /home, no? | 05:57 |
| nickrud | l3ttuc3: adobe is using a new way of interfacing with browsers (started by mozilla I think) | 05:57 |
| Flannel | fritsy4: Have you actually made any changes to anything in /etc? | 05:57 |
| atm0sph | fritsy4, you copy your old home to the new home and set the owner as your new account... that';s that way I heard to do it.. flannels way is probablyu better though with the whole pointing the install to the old directory method | 05:58 |
| pvl1 | l3ttuc3, adobe made the pdf thingymbabob and yes ive been onlinx for ubuntu for months and they still havent fixed it. not realling missing it | 05:58 |
| l3ttuc3 | nickrud isn't there an older plugin available that _would_ work? | 05:58 |
| kasan_sweat | I have a pc with a nonworking cdrom, but I have a spare small hard drive. Can I just copy the ubuntu iso to that hard drive and boot from it? | 05:58 |
| atm0sph | fritsy4, but yes, you would have two home's. One semi empty, one with your old stuff.. | 05:58 |
| fritsy4 | Flannel, i don't know. i | 05:58 |
| fritsy4 | 05:58 | |
| nickrud | l3ttuc3: probably. Don't know where you'd find it | 05:58 |
| l3ttuc3 | pvl1 i can read pdf files, using the document viewer. | 05:58 |
| fritsy4 | Flannel, i just have many programmes installed | 05:58 |
| Stephen-Mason | im new to linux is there a form of remote assistance where one of you guys could help me? | 05:58 |
| l3ttuc3 | nickrud i take it ubuntu does not have it in its repositories, but wgets it from the parent sites? | 05:59 |
| jrib | Stephen-Mason: yep, just ask the channel your question | 05:59 |
| nickrud | l3ttuc3: yes | 05:59 |
| pvl1 | l3ttuc3, its not connected to flash. just the same company made the readers and stuff | 05:59 |
| Flannel | fritsy4: Back up /etc, and then don't replace anything. Only replace stuff when you realize you need to edit (replace that particular file/whatever). You can get a list of all the packages you have installed with, um. the factoid is !cloning | 05:59 |
| Stephen-Mason | how do i enable my nvidia driver? do i need to open terminal at all? | 05:59 |

| kahrytan | I can't send an encrypted mail to myself. | 06:12 |
| spdf | jotham, check out rsync as well | 06:12 |
| nickrud | kahrytan: the most critical thing I can tell you about gnupg is treat your secret key like gold. Frustrating to misplace or delete it | 06:12 |
| jotham | yeah i use rsync for a bunch of stuff, but the target machine is a winxp host, and i wasn't sure i wanted to get rsync running on it | 06:12 |

| bod_ | kahrytan, kk,.,. my bad | 06:35 |

| kahrytan | gnupgp is responding back with public key or secret key not found | 06:36 |
| methods | and i know what fhs is | 06:36 |
| nickrud | methods: not use, but how it works | 06:36 |
| methods | i know how it works | 06:36 |
| methods | i'm talking about ubuntu specific stuff | 06:36 |
| bod_ | methods, such as? | 06:36 |
| astro76 | methods: have you *read* the filesystem heirarchy standard, it really does explain how it is "put together" | 06:37 |
| astro76 | methods: it's pretty standard linux | 06:37 |
| methods | technical details... the boot system... how initram is diff... that type of stuff | 06:37 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys, i got a external drive, but when i plug it into the laptop, it says cannot mount this volme ... can someone help me ??? | 06:37 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ any ideas? | 06:37 |
| methods | i mean you guys do something really weird with the initram dont you ? | 06:37 |
| astro76 | methods: wiki.ubuntu.com, help.ubuntu.com/community, google.com | 06:37 |
| nickrud | methods: the boot system is essentially system 5 , even though upstart is in the works. the initram is standard linux | 06:38 |
| bod_ | methods, try googling on linux google ,.,.,.www.google.com/linux | 06:38 |
| methods | i thought upstart was already in gutsy ? | 06:38 |
| astro76 | it is | 06:38 |
| l3ttuc3 | nickrud just about got fed up. opera 9.50b1 works with the last version of flash player put out by adobe, like you said. i'm sticking with that for now. | 06:38 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ any ideas? | 06:39 |
| astro76 | methods: but mostly everything is still using the init scripts | 06:39 |
| methods | yea but i use to have weird issues with drivers on my old laptop... and someone told me that the drivers were only dedicated during initram... which is really odd if you ask me | 06:39 |
| astro76 | kahrytan: none | 06:39 |
| Stephen-Mason | how do you make it so you like cascade your windows like osx when you press f9? | 06:39 |
| methods | hm does upstart use another layout for the scripts ? | 06:39 |
| shishio | pretty stupid noob question: anyone know whats the functoin of x-server? | 06:39 |
| astro76 | methods: it's rule based | 06:39 |
| methods | Stephen-Mason: scale plugin in compiz i think is what you want | 06:40 |
| oklopol | what would you suggest for a 6502 emulator? | 06:40 |
| astro76 | shishio: graphical display | 06:40 |
| nickrud | methods: yes, but it's still using sysv run scripts. Probably will continue, just some mods to scipts to facilitate parallel starting. I don't think ubuntu does parallel stuff yet | 06:40 |
| methods | hm thats really weird | 06:40 |
| methods | i mean the new desktop linux's are changing so much | 06:40 |
| Stephen-Mason | and how do you have 4 desktop instead of 2? | 06:40 |
| methods | i run ps and have like 50 processes | 06:40 |
| shishio | astro78: lol ok, how do i disable it... i was planning to install my nvidia driver and it prompts me to disable it | 06:40 |
| methods | on slackware i have like 8 | 06:40 |
| nickrud | methods: you can start with /etc/event.d to see how inittab is replaced, but still calling run levels | 06:40 |
| bod_ | Stephen-Mason, desktop,. cube,.,. and general settings plugin | 06:41 |
| methods | Stephen-Mason: right click on the pager and change it | 06:41 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| astro76 | shishio: switch to virtual console (ctrl+alt+F1), log in, sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 06:41 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ give up on me? | 06:41 |
| methods | idk i would just like a technical break down of the guts of gutsy... im sure iwth ubuntu's docs this should exist | 06:41 |
| astro76 | kahrytan: I said I have no experience with thunderbird or kgpg | 06:41 |
| shishio | astra76, if i do that all my currenly running programs will be gone? | 06:42 |
| Lilacor | sometimes I am prevented from typing anything in terminals... like my keyboard is frozen or broken but it's not.. how do I fix this? | 06:42 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ it's gnupgp issue though | 06:42 |
| methods | dude i had jeos installed and now ubuntu-server wont let me setup a lvm during install | 06:42 |
| astro76 | shishio: yeah it will kill the x session, you might want to save data and log out first | 06:42 |
| nickrud | methods: you can look at the specs and roadmaps on wiki.ubuntu.com, when I'm bored at work or need some lite reading I spend a little time there | 06:42 |
| DanaG | Couldn't display "obex://[00:1/". | 06:42 |
| astro76 | kahrytan: ? it's specific to thunderbird finding your key apparently | 06:42 |
| DanaG | Nautilus cannot handle obex: locations. | 06:42 |
| methods | jeos kinda pisses me off like why do i care about vmware? i was so happy with the idea of a ubuntu-server but trimme down to 150mb ... then i install it and it doens't have my nic driver and i read that its customized for vmware... | 06:42 |
| DanaG | gaack, wrong channel. | 06:42 |
| shishio | astro76 ok thanks | 06:43 |
| fatedkiss | un0p, mind lending me some help? | 06:44 |
| methods | i would think it's only the kernel that is customized for vmware right? | 06:44 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, if i can help,. i will,.,. wots ur problem? | 06:45 |
| shishio | astro76, how do i go out from vitual mode? | 06:45 |
| methods | maybe i should leave jeos installed but just modify the kernel | 06:45 |
| astro76 | shishio: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start | 06:45 |
| methods | no server mongers in here? | 06:45 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ It is a gnupgp issue. ssh agent doesnt work | 06:46 |
| shishio | astro76 ty | 06:46 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ I made a key in just gnupgp and i got the same issue. | 06:46 |
| astro76 | kahrytan: please don't argue with me on what I can and can't help with | 06:46 |
| kahrytan | astro76➲ can you help with gnupgp? | 06:46 |
| fatedkiss | no idea what this is asking me. sudo sed -i s/dapper/breezy/g /var/chroot/gutsy/etc/apt/sources.list #point apt-get to the right release | 06:46 |

| fatedkiss | methods, theres an IRC with no mass population? | 06:52 |
| bod_ | methods, #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:52 |

| travisat | methods: #ubuntu-nobody-here | 06:52 |
| astro76 | methods: is it for ubuntu support? | 06:52 |
| Sonderblade | why doesn't firefox on ubuntu cache the last visited few pages? | 06:52 |
| bod_ | !channels | methods | 06:53 |

| fatedkiss | Sonderblade, <.< does on mine | 06:53 |
| bod_ | Sonderblade, does for me | 06:53 |
| Stephen-Mason | how do you install flash player ive downloaded it? | 06:53 |

| heartsblood | every time I run apt I get this error at the end "sh: /usr/sbin/update-dpsyco: not found" how do I get rid of it? | 06:53 |
| astro76 | methods: dunno, if it's ubuntu support requests then this channel, anything else #ubuntu-offtopic | 06:53 |
| bod_ | Sonderblade, check firefox settings,. make sure its not deleting ur history too early | 06:53 |
| astro76 | methods: there's also #linux | 06:53 |
| kbrosnan | Sonderblade: pages that set nocache, are not cached. have you checked to see if that is set for the page in question | 06:53 |
| knocterna1 | I second that methods! | 06:53 |
| fatedkiss | methods, #ubuntu-nonecomein? | 06:54 |
| methods | dude this room is constantly flooded with such newb stuff that you cant even get a response ... during the day time its rediculous | 06:54 |
| bod_ | methods, that is not acceptable | 06:54 |

| MrHank | I need some advice. | 06:55 |
| fatedkiss | methods, it was actually the comment after | 06:55 |
| bod_ | methods, just because people may be new to linux does not mean they dont have the right to ask questions | 06:55 |
| MrHank | I'm currently a windows user. | 06:55 |
| nickrud | djzn: sudo modprobe -r <module> && sudo modprobe <module> | 06:55 |
| fatedkiss | methods, thus why it was typed after the comment it was for | 06:55 |
| MrHank | I want to try out Linux. | 06:55 |
| Sonderblade | kbrosnan: it is a nocache page, but i'm almost sure firefox on windows caches it | 06:55 |
| nickrud | !welcome | MrHank | 06:55 |
| ubotu | MrHank: Welcome to #ubuntu - the Ubuntu support channel. | 06:55 |
| MrHank | Thank you Nick. | 06:55 |
| kbrosnan | Sonderblade: negative | 06:55 |
| astro76 | methods: did you not get some answers earlier? | 06:55 |
| rullie | MrHank, you want to try out linux or try out ubuntu | 06:55 |
| fatedkiss | !pwned | 06:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pwned - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:55 |
| MrHank | I want to try out Linux, but I'm not highly technical. | 06:55 |
| mouseboyx | Where are the rules? | 06:56 |
| methods | bod_: yes they can very well ask away but i would like an 'extra' room for more veterans... those who wish to sit here and be mr support can do so at their own desire | 06:56 |
| rullie | MrHank, you've probably hit the right distro then | 06:56 |
| bod_ | MrHank, you dont have to be,.,. thats wot were here for | 06:56 |
| rullie | MrHank, assuming you're looking into ubuntu | 06:56 |
| MrHank | I've heard you can boot Linux from a USB drive, but then doing some more reading I became very confused. | 06:56 |
| nickrud | MrHank: then you will find ubuntu easy to start with | 06:56 |
| bullgard4 | Why does hald run on one of my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop computers but not on the other although both computers work all right? | 06:56 |
| bod_ | methods, so you would like to discriminate against new users | 06:56 |
| MrHank | To be honest, I've done so much reading about the different distrobutions my mind is a blur. | 06:56 |
| Stephen-Mason | how do you install flash player | 06:56 |
| nickrud | !offtopic | bod | 06:56 |
| ubotu | bod: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 06:56 |
| Stephen-Mason | ? | 06:56 |
| MrHank | I would like to ask one specific question. | 06:57 |
| nickrud | bod_: if they let you in ;P | 06:57 |
| bod_ | methods, then we would have no "veterens" answering there questions | 06:57 |
| methods | bod_: is #kubuntu discriminating against regular ubuntu users ? | 06:57 |
| bod_ | nickrud, i cant go to offtopic,.,. im banned | 06:57 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash (look for the blue text on the forum page) | 06:57 |
| Stephen-Mason | flash player? anyone? | 06:57 |
| nickrud | !brokenflash | Stephen-Mason (look for the blue text on the forum page) | 06:57 |
| mouseboyx | Stephen-Mason, what file did you download? | 06:57 |
| MrHank | Is there any distribution of Linux (especially Ubuntu) that will allow me to download a distribution to a USB flash thumb drive, turn off my computer, and then boot up into Linux? | 06:57 |
| Pyro | LMAO | 06:57 |
| djzn | FATAL: Module snd_hda_intel is in use. | 06:58 |
| mulder | does a dist-upgrade convert a system to the stock install settings? | 06:58 |
| ubotu | Stephen-Mason (look for the blue text on the forum page): 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. | 06:58 |
| fatedkiss | methods, bod_ if you make it soemwhere to debate let me know i enjoy debates | 06:58 |
| MrHank | I do NOT know how to do coding and programming. | 06:58 |
| bod_ | methods, people learn from talking to those more experienced then themselves,. if u cannot talk to someone more experienced u will not learn,. then we will have a generation of uneducated users | 06:58 |
| astro76 | MrHank: the Ubuntu desktop cd that you can download will boot into a functional ubuntu system without touching your system | 06:58 |
| nickrud | MrHank: then setting up a usb stick to boot from would be kind of difficult as a first step | 06:58 |
| methods | bod_: nobody can talk during the day!!!! stop arguing wiht me | 06:58 |
| Stephen-Mason | install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 06:58 |
| mouseboyx | Did you extract it. | 06:58 |
| fatedkiss | unop, still on? | 06:58 |
| bod_ | methods, i find it no easier/harder to talk during the day then any other time,. | 06:59 |
| MrHank | Well, I want to use a USB stick for two reasons: First, because it will be temproary. Secondly, I will be able to read and write to the stick. | 06:59 |
| Stephen-Mason | yep | 06:59 |
| nickrud | Stephen-Mason: you should use the package on the link I gave you, it will work better with your system | 06:59 |
| MrHank | Is there a way to download linux onto a USB stick and simply boot up from it? | 06:59 |
| mouseboyx | ok just run the file | 06:59 |
| astro76 | MrHank: you don't have a cd drive? | 06:59 |
| Stephen-Mason | which link? | 06:59 |
| MrHank | I have a CD drive, but I'm concerned about the read and write speeds to the drive. | 06:59 |
| methods | i would just like a quieter place where you can get a word in | 06:59 |
| paul928 | MrHank: how big is your flash drive? | 06:59 |
| bod_ | MrHank, i no u can have a "live cd" on a usb,.,. i dont think u can install on it | 07:00 |
| MrHank | I want to buy a fast flash drive soon. | 07:00 |
| nickrud | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 Stephen-Mason | 07:00 |
| astro76 | MrHank: if you are just trying it who cares, it works well enough | 07:00 |
| bod_ | methods, then start ur own "veterans" room | 07:00 |
| Dr_willis | There are some sites that discuss/detail installing ubuntu onto a usb flash drive. | 07:00 |
| fatedkiss | methods, arent you getting a word in now? | 07:00 |
| nickrud | Stephen-Mason: and you should probably switch to xchat for irc, any line with your nick in it will be red, easier to find | 07:00 |
| MrHank | Well, I want to see how decent it performs. I'm afraid that it would not perform well on the CD. | 07:00 |
| mouseboyx | ./install_flash_player_9_linux/flashplayer-installer | 07:00 |
| MrHank | I just want to use it some of the time and if I decide I like it install it on my PC permanently. | 07:00 |
| Stephen-Mason | is this for firefox aswell? | 07:01 |
| astro76 | MrHank: it performs fast or faster than windows if that's what you are comparing against, you should be more concerned about hardware compatibility | 07:01 |
| bod_ | MrHank, yes u cn do that | 07:01 |
| mouseboyx | yes, run it in a terminal. | 07:01 |
| fatedkiss | anyone know anything about debootstrap or chroot? | 07:01 |
| Dr_willis | MrHank, may be a lot easier to just use a live cd and save files to the usb gizmo | 07:01 |
| nickrud | Stephen-Mason: yes, either mouseboyx 's method or mine will work in firefox | 07:01 |
| mulder | is there any plans to amend the checksum for gutsy (flash problem)? | 07:01 |
| tritium | fatedkiss: there are good wiki pages on both. Check them out! | 07:01 |
| methods | not really "veterans" just not 5 billion general users | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | fatedkiss, depends on what you are trying to do also. :) | 07:02 |
| stanger | anyone know anyways to run the live disk through DVI? | 07:02 |
| fatedkiss | tritium, well im trying to follow this html on installing them and i get them in its just im having problems with some errors | 07:02 |
| tritium | methods: we don't discriminate here on any basis, including experience | 07:02 |
| bod_ | methods, this room has 1128 people in it,.,. only about 10 active,. i fail to see wot ur problem is | 07:02 |
| Dr_willis | stanger, Huh? the live cd works with my video cards with DVI out. | 07:02 |
| mulder | launchpad thread is long | 07:02 |
| bod_ | tritium, sorry for my ot,.but im a noob, and dont like discriminations | 07:03 |
| tritium | bod_: you're not offtopic | 07:03 |
| Stephen-Mason | it says i need to be logged in anyway you could send me the file? | 07:03 |
| bod_ | tritium, ok cool,.,. just checking | 07:03 |
| stanger | Dr_willis you had no problems with it? | 07:03 |
| Carolet | bod_, it's not your prasek. | 07:03 |
| bod_ | Carolet, prasek? what does that mean? | 07:04 |
| Dr_willis | stanger, Nope. None at all.. If you have a video card with 2 video outs. Ive seen where some times it defaults to the other output. | 07:04 |
| Carolet | prase kill | 07:04 |
| bod_ | Carolet, ok,.,. i dont understand wot ur saying,.,.lol | 07:04 |
| * Carolet duzz | 07:04 | |

| southernguy5 | Anyway. | 07:06 |
| bod_ | Casey, make a bootable cd with 1 exe on it (overkill) lol | 07:06 |
| southernguy5 | Do any of you know of a Linux Distribution that I can download to a USB and boot off of with little or no extra coding or work? | 07:06 |
| Dr_willis | of course - is it a windows exe or a dos exe.. :) | 07:06 |
| paul928 | southernguy5:http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/download.html | 07:07 |
| bod_ | southernguy5, all distro's to my knowledge do that | 07:07 |
| bod_ | Dr_willis, they r different? | 07:07 |
| southernguy5 | bod, I've done some reading about booting Linux from USB drives and it sound complicated to me. | 07:07 |
| Carolet | bod_, properly I get no saying for a wit. | 07:07 |
| Casey | bod_: Can I use my USB stick? | 07:07 |
| Dr_willis | bod_, run a windows app under dos.. see what happens.. :) | 07:07 |
| southernguy5 | I'll check out damnsmalllinux | 07:07 |
| Askato | im currently booting ubuntu from usb its not that hard | 07:07 |
| Askato | but limited space | 07:07 |
| bod_ | southernguy5, it is extremely well documented,. u shouldnt have a problem, with the wiki's and irc ur all good | 07:08 |
| southernguy5 | However, I am more interested in Ubuntu | 07:08 |
| fatedkiss | tritium, i wouldnt normally ask if i can google it, unop was helping me but sorta vanished | 07:08 |
| tritium | southernguy5: it's possible to do the same with ubuntu | 07:08 |
| bod_ | Casey, possibly,. check ur bios for external bootable media | 07:08 |
| bod_ | Does anyone understand wot Carolet is saying to me? | 07:08 |
| southernguy5 | tritium - So all I would need to do is download the file to my USB stick, reboot my computer, and go into Linux? | 07:08 |
| southernguy5 | I do NOT want to do anything complicated. | 07:08 |
| tritium | !install | southernguy5 | 07:09 |
| mouseboyx | What is the directroy that it installes it to (flash)? | 07:09 |
| ubotu | southernguy5: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 07:09 |
| tritium | southernguy5: see that first URL. There are links on that page for USB installation options. | 07:09 |
| Dr_willis | southernguy5, stick with live cd's then :) | 07:09 |
| Askato | does anyone know if it is possible to install apps to a drive other than the one ubuntu is installed on? | 07:09 |

| zoe | thank you :) | 07:12 |
| spdf | zoe, I've never had any luck with Totem (as you'll see on that URL), mlpayer does a good job though | 07:12 |
| tritium | fatedkiss: replaces occurrences of dapper with breezy in your pbuilder (or whatever chroot you're using) sources.list file | 07:13 |
| Dr_willis | fatedkiss, changes the word dapper to breezy in every line in that file./ or is it the other way... :) | 07:13 |
| spdf | zoe, xine is nice as well | 07:13 |

| nickrud | fatedkiss: that's a pretty old page then. replace breezy in that with gutsy | 07:14 |
| mouseboyx | What is tritium? | 07:14 |
| pappy | I just installed gutsy on this MacBook and the wired ethernet broke after upgrading to the newer linux-image package available in gutsy-backports or somesuch other repository (perhaps gutsy-proposed?) | 07:14 |
| bod_ | its a person | 07:14 |

| pappy | That's what lspci says my ethernet card is | 07:14 |
| tritium | mouseboyx: an isotope of Hydrogen | 07:14 |
| Carolet | heard his bothering is very plain. | 07:14 |
| pappy | Does this card break in the newest linux-image gutsy package? | 07:15 |
| mouseboyx | Oh. yeah and deuterium. | 07:15 |
| nickrud | Carolet: are you a bot? | 07:15 |
| pappy | The one installed from the 7.10 gutsy i386-bin dekstop install CD works with the MacBook Marvell wired ethernet card | 07:15 |
| fatedkiss | nickrud, well i spode i could but i dont see what it would even really accomplish <.< im on gusty | 07:15 |
| nickrud | fatedkiss: the only thing I see you doing there is doing a debootstrap install | 07:16 |
| Carolet | nickrud, hehe, we are in order to drive. | 07:16 |
| === Taggard is now known as Edao | ||

| fatedkiss | nickrud, right thats what im doing..i think..it seems more complicated then that | 07:16 |
| nemilar | Anyone know if Flyback is going to be included in 8.04? | 07:16 |
| * Dr_willis wonders why use a debootstrap install | 07:17 | |
| bod_ | guys,. just for future reference ,.,. how will i upgrade to hardy? | 07:18 |
| fatedkiss | Dr_willis, i mentiond 64 bit flash..and going back to 32 bit then i was presented with debootstrap | 07:18 |
| fatedkiss | Dr_willis, and chroot | 07:18 |
| astro76 | !upgrade | bod_ | 07:18 |
| ubotu | bod_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 07:18 |
| bod_ | astro76, thankin you my friend | 07:18 |
| mouseboyx | Chea, flash is basically the only reason i dont use 64 bit. | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | fatedkiss, to acomplish what? You trying to Install a 32bit system on a 64 bit setup? Why not just reinstall from a cd. :) | 07:18 |
| southernguy5 | This is crazy. | 07:19 |
| southernguy5 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 07:19 |
| fatedkiss | Dr_willis, at this point i dont know..unop was like follow these intructions youll be fine...its easier | 07:19 |
| * nickrud has nicely working flash in 32bit firefox in 64bit | 07:19 | |
| southernguy5 | It seems very complicated to run an installation of Linux from a flash drive. | 07:19 |
| bod_ | mouseboyx, there are fix's and workarounds for all flash problems in 64 | 07:19 |
| fatedkiss | Dr_willis, ...its really not | 07:19 |
| Dr_willis | fatedkiss, easier then just reinstalling.. :) doubtfull | 07:19 |
| mouseboyx | I know, but dont you use a 32 bit browser? | 07:19 |
| fatedkiss | nickrud, thats all i want..flash | 07:19 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: several have tried to tell you that | 07:19 |
| southernguy5 | Ok. | 07:20 |
| bod_ | mouseboyx, no i think im usng 64 | 07:20 |
| southernguy5 | So it's complicated to use a flashdrive. | 07:20 |
| Askato | not really | 07:20 |
| southernguy5 | What about this Live CD | 07:20 |
| nickrud | mouseboyx: yes. But that flash link earlier? it has a way to install flash in 64bit browser | 07:20 |
| southernguy5 | Is there a LIVE CD for the most current version of UBUNTU? | 07:20 |
| mouseboyx | 64Bit browser 64bitflash? | 07:20 |
| Askato | live Cd is much slower that usb and you can make changes to usb its nice | 07:20 |
| Dr_willis | southernguy5, ubuntu on a flash drive - is not really a high priority of ubuntu | 07:20 |
| === Ranting_ is now known as RantingHuman | ||
| astro76 | southernguy5: of course, ti's the same cd as the desktop install cd | 07:20 |
| southernguy5 | Now, let me ask a question. | 07:20 |
| * bod_ has flash working nicely 64 in 64 browser | 07:20 | |
| nickrud | mouseboyx: 64bit firefox with 32bit flash and nspluginwrapper | 07:20 |
| Dr_willis | The live cd for ubuntu is primary to 'test drive' the disrto and use as a rescue tool. | 07:21 |
| fatedkiss | nickrud, ive been around forums for like 6 hrs straight installing different packages for flash | 07:21 |
| Dr_willis | Theres better done live cd's to use as a 'work live cd' system | 07:21 |
| fatedkiss | nickrud, ive yet to have a fully finctional flash | 07:21 |
| mouseboyx | Ah cool... | 07:21 |

| ubotu | fatedkiss see blue text in this page, have you done that?: 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. | 07:21 |
| Askato | I tried sudo mount --bind /usr/ "media/Local Disk/ubuntu-usr" but all that seems to have done is mirror /usr/ onto my drive | 07:21 |
| southernguy5 | What happens if I save a file while using the Live CD? Will the file go to the CD? | 07:21 |
| Askato | i think that are saved in memory | 07:21 |
| southernguy5 | RAM or the HDD? | 07:22 |
| Askato | files cannot be written to a cd on the fly | 07:22 |
| southernguy5 | Then what happens to the file? Is it saved to the computers HDD? | 07:22 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: unless you mount a floppy or usb drive or something and save it there | 07:22 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, ive seen some live cd disrtos that can do that however. :) | 07:22 |
| mouseboyx | flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu0.7.10_amd64.deb | 07:22 |
| Askato | hmm | 07:22 |
| fatedkiss | nickrud, bod_, i do appreciate the help..i have been on that forum thou infact its bookmarked | 07:22 |
| nickrud | southernguy5: you can set that up, yes. But again, the livecd is meant to be a test bed and recovery disk, not an even medium term solution | 07:22 |
| mouseboyx | Does that work on 64 bit? bod_ | 07:22 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, with a fresh firefox install it works like a charm | 07:23 |
| bod_ | mouseboyx, yes! | 07:23 |
| southernguy5 | Basically, I want a totally risk free way to try out Ubuntu. I don't have the money to buy a new computer if this one is screwed up. | 07:23 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to just wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb | 07:23 |

| fatedkiss | bod_, im pretty sure i did reinstall firefox | 07:23 |
| bod_ | southernguy5, u have more chance of breaking ur comp with windows then linux | 07:23 |
| * nickrud adds that link to his autoreplace | 07:23 | |
| Dr_willis | southernguy5, get a live cd and play with it. is the easy way. Or use vmware/virtualbox and install it inside there. | 07:23 |

| fatedkiss | bod_, i feel like a pain >.> | 07:24 |

| southernguy5 | Now, let me ask another question. Lets say I decide to use Ubuntu. I've read some scary stuff about Ubuntu not supporting various media formats, not having flash to watch Youtube videos, etc. | 07:25 |
| Askato | nevermind on dismount of bind i figured it out | 07:26 |
| Dr_willis | dru, you mean 'convert avi vide4o to dvd video format?' | 07:26 |

| fatedkiss | bod_, ok just wanted to know if there was a certain one for 32bit instea do 64 | 07:44 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: Ubuntu 7.10 currently | 07:44 |
| pvl1 | if im having problems with my videocard, is the best thing to reinstall ubuntu, if it was working fine before? | 07:44 |
| southernguy5 | How well does Ubuntu run on your computer? | 07:44 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, i dunno just go synaptic and search for firefox and install the first one | 07:44 |
| southernguy5 | I currently use XP which is slow and laggy. | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, Well you may be 'stuck' you need to do sudo chmod +s /whatever/sudo I think... :) but you cant do that.. bnecause its not suid | 07:45 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: it's perfect | 07:45 |
| un0p | bod_, i dont use 64bit (yet) just want to know - do all the plugins for 64bit firefox work fine? java, flash, acrobat, etc? | 07:45 |
| southernguy5 | Does it run faster than XP? | 07:45 |
| Alita | what? | 07:45 |
| Flannel | southernguy5: Yeah | 07:45 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: for some reason, wireless transfer speed is faster | 07:45 |
| bod_ | un0p, yep,.,. never have a problem,.,. dunno about acrobat though | 07:45 |
| Alita | bod hey | 07:45 |
| Alita | hi | 07:45 |
| southernguy5 | cool | 07:45 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: but in general linux is faster than windows | 07:45 |
| Askato | awesome.. what does the chmod +s.. do? | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | ls -l /usr/bin/sudo -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 91776 2007-06-15 08:49 /usr/bin/sudo | 07:45 |
| southernguy5 | Thanks for sharing this information with me! | 07:45 |
| Alita | hi bod hey | 07:45 |
| southernguy5 | I appreciate it. | 07:45 |
| bod_ | Alita, can u browse the internet? | 07:45 |
| dr_pressure | hey... any audio guys in the house? (i'm ripping an audio cd to high quality mp3 -- do i want mpeg I, II, or II.5) | 07:45 |
| southernguy5 | Did you ever upgrade your RAM? | 07:45 |
| Alita | no | 07:45 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, sets the Suid bit. | 07:45 |
| southernguy5 | Or do you use 512MB? | 07:45 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: yeah I have 2 GB | 07:45 |
| bod_ | dr_pressure, neither there video formats | 07:46 |
| Askato | oh | 07:46 |
| un0p | dr_pressure, MPEG-II | 07:46 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: so in that respect, Ubuntu will be much better than windows with low ram | 07:46 |
| southernguy5 | What is the max amount of ram that the laptop will support. | 07:46 |
| PKdoR | I cot no sond!! | 07:46 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: 2 GB | 07:46 |
| PKdoR | I mean sound | 07:46 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, isnt the flash problem with 64 bit firefox or just gutsey 64 in general? | 07:46 |
| southernguy5 | Is it hard to install on this computer? | 07:46 |
| southernguy5 | I'm a total noob at hardware stuff. | 07:46 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: not at all | 07:46 |
| Alita | yoooooooooohoooooooooooo | 07:46 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, no its for 64 bit | 07:46 |
| dr_pressure | un0p, will it make much of a difference? | 07:46 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: there's a seperate door for it on the bottom | 07:46 |
| un0p | dr_pressure, in relation to what? | 07:47 |
| dr_pressure | bod_, you sure? those are the options my cd ripper has | 07:47 |
| bod_ | Alita, CAN U BROWSE THE INTERNET??? | 07:47 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, so 64bit gutsy? | 07:47 |
| Alita | no | 07:47 |
| Alita | no | 07:47 |
| Alita | no | 07:47 |
| southernguy5 | On the last computer I had (a very old desktop) it was tricky to get the RAM to go into the slots. | 07:47 |
| dr_pressure | un0p, i guess i'm asking will it make a difference to the quality | 07:47 |
| Alita | very defficult??? | 07:47 |
| catstark | hey - can NFS only be mounted on a local network? | 07:47 |
| bod_ | dr_pressure, i no that a mpeg is a video file,.,. but ive never heard of mpeg2,.,. there windows formats,.,. but dont take my advice in too high regard,. im pretty new at this | 07:47 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, yes | 07:47 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: here's a cool thing, the toucpad supports multi touch, the default is two finger tap for right click and three finger click for middle click ;) | 07:48 |
| Askato | hmm ill see if i can umount my harddrive, if that works can i change the suid to work properly? | 07:48 |
| bod_ | Alita, is ur network encrypted? | 07:48 |
| un0p | dr_pressure, mpeg-II is probably the most widely used among mp3 players | 07:48 |
| Alita | bod: it is a neccessory to conect to internet? | 07:48 |
| un0p | dr_pressure, i'd go with that | 07:48 |
| Alita | waht? | 07:48 |
| Breakage | anyone know how to get sonata to open .pls streams? | 07:48 |
| southernguy5 | Can we talk in a query for a bit astro? | 07:48 |
| bod_ | un0p, isnt mpeg a video format? | 07:48 |
| catstark | I'm trying to mount a NFS share (running on Linux) from Windows but I think Windows can only find NFS shares that are local | 07:48 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, alright this is the firefox version it installed. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20071008 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.6 | 07:48 |
| bod_ | Alita, yer internet is a good thing,. and do u have a password set up on ur network? | 07:49 |
| astro76 | southernguy5: /join #astro | 07:49 |
| Dr_willis | catstark, i dont think you want to have nfs exposed to the wild and dangerous internet. :) | 07:49 |
| dr_pressure | bod_ as far as i know "mpg" and "mp3" are both based on mpeg technology --- or something like that | 07:49 |
| un0p | bod_, what do you think mp3 stands for? | 07:49 |
| Askato | hmm cant unmount | 07:49 |
| Askato | is there anyway to manually change the setuid? | 07:49 |
| catstark | Dr_willis - if I did though, is it possible | 07:50 |
| bod_ | un0p, ok,. fair point,.,.lol | 07:50 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, with the 'sudo chmod +s whatever' command. | 07:50 |
| un0p | bod_, there are different levels/layers for mpeg -- layer I and II refer to audio | 07:50 |
| Dr_willis | catstark, ssh tunnle, is one way perhaps. | 07:50 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, but you will need to do it from a livecd most likely | 07:50 |
| bazhang | 4 is video no? | 07:50 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, firefox 2.0.0.11is the one u want | 07:50 |
| bod_ | un0p, thankyou,.,. i didnt no that | 07:50 |
| un0p | bazhang, 3 and 4 yes | 07:50 |
| Askato | ok handy that i allready have one then | 07:50 |
| dr_pressure | un0p, i'll go with mpeg II... thanks :) | 07:50 |
| bazhang | un0p: cheers | 07:51 |
| Carolet | why ff2.0.0.11 not updated? | 07:51 |
| bod_ | Carolet, because u havent updated it | 07:51 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, ok then installing it through syntax is out of the question. if i install a deb package for it i can overide the install i have now right? | 07:51 |
| Carolet | bod_, thx | 07:51 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, i would swear at u right now,.,.lol,.,. just uninstall all forefox stuf and install firefox 2.0.0.11 | 07:52 |
| Carolet | bod_, FF need to modify and mend | 07:52 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, -.- | 07:52 |
| Askato | so how would i change the sutuid with a live cd? | 07:52 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, just install firfox dude,.,.,..,lol,.,..,so funny | 07:52 |
| bod_ | brb leakin | 07:52 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, im in the process of doing it | 07:53 |
| un0p | Askato, you need to chroot into the system | 07:53 |
| un0p | Askato, you might be able to repair sudo from recovery mode | 07:53 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, of course there may be other programs that should of been 'suid' that are now not... | 07:53 |
| un0p | Askato, next time watch what you do on a system :) | 07:53 |
| Askato | meh its just a flashdrive install of ubuntu | 07:53 |
| cre8torx | what's a good dvd ripper | 07:53 |
| cre8torx | ? | 07:53 |
| Askato | i can redo is neccessary | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | !info dvdri | 07:54 |
| ubotu | Package dvdri does not exist in gutsy | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | !info dvdrip | 07:54 |
| ubotu | dvdrip (source: dvdrip): perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.6-0.0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1086 kB, installed size 2580 kB | 07:54 |
| bazhang | k3b | 07:54 |
| un0p | Askato, best if you redid then | 07:54 |
| cre8torx | !info dvdrip | 07:54 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, gdgdgdgdgd | 07:54 |
| PKdoR | Haow can I use My Optical Audio output in Ubuntu I get no sound? | 07:54 |
| Askato | darn, that puts me back at square 1 how do i put my /usr on another drive.. | 07:54 |
| un0p | cre8torx, no repeating - this is a busy channel :) | 07:54 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, lets ask this.. HOW did you copy your /usr over to the new hd? | 07:55 |
| un0p | Askato, use something like rsync | 07:55 |
| Askato | mount --bind | 07:55 |
| un0p | :o | 07:55 |
| Askato | to be exact, ls -l /usr/bin/sudo -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 91776 2007-06-15 08:49 /usr/bin/sudo | 07:55 |
| Askato | ops | 07:55 |
| un0p | Askato, you bound a directory onto a usb drive? | 07:55 |
| Askato | sudo mount --bind "/media/Local Disk/ubuntu-usr" /usr/ | 07:55 |
| Askato | yes | 07:55 |
| cre8torx | hey im here to help and be helped | 07:55 |
| bod_ | thankyou | 07:55 |
| un0p | Askato, did you know that if you dismounted the usb drive that /usr would no longer be available? | 07:56 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, How did you get the stuff from /usr to /media/Local Disk/ubuntu-usr | 07:56 |
| un0p | umounted ** rather | 07:56 |
| cre8torx | ? | 07:56 |
| Askato | no no, ubuntu is on flash drive i bound a copy of /usr over the /usr on the flashdrive | 07:56 |
| cre8torx | how big's your flash drive | 07:57 |
| un0p | Askato, but why tho? | 07:57 |
| * Dr_willis has totally missed the reason for this usr song and dance | 07:57 | |
| Askato | 1gig, running out of space on flash drive | 07:57 |
| Askato | wanted to install apps to my harddrive | 07:57 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, dotn worry about it ill figure it out myself, im just new and trying to figure it out | 07:57 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, sorry for waiting your time | 07:58 |
| un0p | Askato, so you deleted the /usr folder on the usb drive and mounted /usr on your system to /usr on the usb drive to get it working? | 07:58 |
| Askato | i wonder if doing the same thing but without binding /usr/lib would work | 07:58 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, im happy to help,.,. have u got firefox? | 07:58 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, im here for a while m8,.,. ur not wasting my tim | 07:58 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, you could just 'link' the things with ln -s :) | 07:58 |
| Askato | the old /usr is still there i belive i mounted over top of it | 07:58 |
| Askato | hmm | 07:58 |
| Askato | so ln -s will allow /usr to tap into my harddrive space? | 07:59 |
| Dr_willis | so you really dident save any space then | 07:59 |
| Dr_willis | You might want to check out the FUSE tools or perhaps that unionfs stuff. | 07:59 |
| Askato | but if i install something new it wont go onto flashdrive.. i think | 07:59 |
| un0p | Askato, i see - but /usr on your flash drive is probably very differrent to /usr on your system and you're bound to experience weird things | 08:00 |
| un0p | like the setuid problem | 08:00 |
| Askato | i used sudo cp to make the backup it should be exact | 08:00 |
| un0p | Askato, if you're short of space, install something tiny like dsl/puppy | 08:00 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, if you dident copy everything from flash /usr to the hd's /usr properly - You may of also messed up a lot of permissions | 08:01 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, how u doin? | 08:01 |
| Askato | hmm | 08:01 |
| cre8torx | losers | 08:02 |
| grumbel | What is a good way to convert a number of jpgs into a single pdf without recompressing them? | 08:02 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, trying to figure out how to replace the existing firefox files from the tar pack i installed | 08:02 |
| Askato | so sudo cp -r might not have copied permission.. but wouldn't it make permissions wide open if it doesn't copy them? | 08:02 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, figure i just replace the existing file with the one i extracted | 08:02 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, u should be doing all of the installing/removing of firefox through synaptic | 08:03 |
| Dr_willis | cp -r will NOT do all the permissions correctly.. thats what i was asking about.. like 10 min ago. :P | 08:03 |
| Dr_willis | the 'suid' bit is a very very 'security' critical permission also. :) | 08:03 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, right and i nomrally would and i did but i didnt get 2.0.11 through synaptic | 08:03 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, really,.,. do u have medibuntu repo? | 08:04 |
| un0p | Askato, out of curiosity - what filesytem is the volume on the usb drive? | 08:04 |
| Askato | ahh, but you would think that if the suid was open permissions wise it would work fine but i would be vulnerable to somekind of attack | 08:04 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, i wouldnt be able to tell you | 08:04 |
| Askato | usb is fat | 08:04 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, lol why? | 08:04 |
| Askato | HD is ntfs | 08:04 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, egads... thats not going to work then at all. | 08:04 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, becaus ei have no idea how to find that out exactly | 08:05 |
| Askato | no? | 08:05 |
| un0p | Askato, sheesh - FAT has no understanding of permissions/ownserhip | 08:05 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, I know of no way to set the suid or other special permissions on a nfts filesystem | 08:05 |
| Askato | then if no permissions are copied onto ntfs and there are no permissions on the flash drive to start with there should no be no problems theoretically | 08:05 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, in synaptic ,. go settings-->repo's-->third party tab | 08:05 |
| un0p | Dr_willis, fuse can emulate that on ntfs -- but with fat, i dont think its possible | 08:06 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, no... theres no permissions = NO permissions to allow it = all problems.. | 08:06 |
| bod_ | lol | 08:06 |
| Dr_willis | Askato, im suprised any of your binaries work at all. | 08:06 |
| Askato | hmm, well i still can manage to run games and apps fine lol | 08:06 |
| un0p | Askato, wrong, if there are no permissions, then you are bound to experience all types of problems | 08:06 |
| Askato | oh well | 08:06 |
| Dr_willis | i imagine every file/directory is set execuatable | 08:06 |
| bod_ | thats not good | 08:06 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, from what i see there nothing in here that says medibuntu | 08:07 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, ok hang on | 08:07 |
| Askato | oh yea... remembered something | 08:07 |
| Askato | only the boot partition is fat the other one is ext2 come to think of it | 08:07 |
| un0p | Askato, games and apps will work -- but things like sudo won't | 08:07 |
| Askato | so /usr is on a ext2 file system | 08:07 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, click add repo,.,. add this : http://packages.medibuntu.org/ | 08:07 |
| un0p | Askato, so how is the usb drive partitioned and formatted? | 08:08 |
| bod_ | badly | 08:08 |
| Askato | partition 1 is ext2 and has stuff like /usr and partition 2 has the livecd boot files with a small modification to make it save settings and that is fat | 08:08 |
| Askato | i used instructions from pendrivelinux.com | 08:09 |
| massiveatom | !ntsf | 08:09 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ntsf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:09 |
| massiveatom | !ntfs | 08:09 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 08:09 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, do i add the url or an actual file i download from that page? | 08:09 |
| Askato | http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ | 08:09 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, add that as a repo | 08:09 |
| Askato | i have access to my ntfs partition | 08:10 |
| PKdoR | where do I go to configure the audio? | 08:10 |
| cheaziz | greetings everyone. | 08:11 |
| bod_ | hi | 08:11 |
| Askato | hello | 08:11 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ i add that in the line as instructed by synaptic and it wont let me select "add this source" | 08:11 |
| un0p | Askato, to be honest, this all seems like a unnecessarily complex setup to me -- if you want standard behaviour, maintain a distinction between the filesystems on your main system and those on the usb drive | 08:11 |
| cheaziz | i am new on ubuntu. i have some questions. anyone willing to assist? | 08:11 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, ask away - we love to help | 08:11 |
| bazhang | ask away cheaziz | 08:12 |
| cheaziz | I am a graphic designer, formerly I used to work on Windows. But after TWO hard disks have been crashed, I HAD to move to Ubuntu Linux. | 08:12 |
| Askato | ok, then is there anyway to tell ubuntu to install apps to a drive besides the one it is installed on? | 08:12 |
| bod_ | fatedkiss, ok my fault,.,. trying to remember now | 08:12 |
| cheaziz | I have installed Skencil (which is the open source equivalent of Illustrator), but it fails to start up. | 08:13 |
| cheaziz | What did I do wrong? | 08:13 |
| spdf | cheaziz, try starting it from a terminal to get the error | 08:13 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, how did you install it? | 08:13 |
| Dr_willis | !info skencil | 08:13 |
| ubotu | skencil (source: skencil): Interactive vector drawing program for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.17-9ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 960 kB, installed size 4900 kB | 08:13 |
| cheaziz | I used the Add/Remove utility. | 08:13 |
| Dr_willis | installing it here. | 08:14 |
| cheaziz | am not too familiar with the terminal... i trust u can assist | 08:14 |
| Dr_willis | open up a terminal, type skencil | 08:14 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 08:14 |
| spdf | cheaziz, Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal | 08:14 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, think i might of got it | 08:14 |
| cheaziz | i got the message Segmentation fault (Core dumped) | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | skencil | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | Heh... | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | seems to be an Issue with the program | 08:15 |
| spdf | cheaziz, Anything before that? | 08:15 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, i added deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gusty main | 08:15 |
| cheaziz | no. nothing before that. launching it from the Graphics program list produces nothing. | 08:15 |
| Dr_willis | i got no messages befor or after - Its crashing hard time here. | 08:16 |
| Dr_willis | sounds like a bug report needs to get filed | 08:16 |
| cheaziz | i read on the Ubuntu forum that it may be an issue with the new and updated version of Python | 08:16 |
| spdf | I'm seeing something about Python 2.4 works, but not 2.5 | 08:16 |
| mdl-unit | cheaziz: In the meantime, I would also check out inkscape | 08:16 |
| cheaziz | how, so how do i downgrade to 2.4? | 08:16 |
| mdl-unit | cheaziz: I've never even heard of skencil. everyone I've heard of drawing vector graphics has been using inkscape | 08:17 |
| spdf | cheaziz, I'm also going to agree with inkscape, having not heard of skencil either | 08:17 |
| PKdoR | wihc sound playback offers the best sound quallity OSS, ELSA or ESD? | 08:17 |
| cheaziz | While we are on the subject, my external (NTFS) drive refuses to mount. | 08:17 |
| cheaziz | I was copying files from the nearby PC (WinXP) and when it was shutting down I must have unplugged the USB cable too quicky. | 08:18 |
| fatedkiss | bod_, i dont knwo if it related but after i placed that repo in..my mplayer that was running an rm radio file stoped working | 08:18 |
| cheaziz | The mount command with the force option refuses to work. | 08:18 |
| cheaziz | That is where all my .AI files are located... | 08:18 |

| voltagex | done, thank you | 08:21 |

| voltagex | fatedkiss: apt-get defaults to the one closest to the top of the sources.list afaik | 08:21 |
| voltagex | so the first one you enter will be used unless it fails or a package can't be found there. | 08:21 |
| xsarr | русские то есть? | 08:22 |

| johnficca | Hi are there any open source drivers for my ati mobility radeon x1400? | 08:22 |
| spdf | cheaziz, you may need to run ntfsfix on the partition | 08:23 |
| johnficca | that work with aiglx | 08:23 |
| spdf | cheaziz, its in the ntfsprogs package I believe. | 08:23 |

| mouseboyx | Thanks so much bod_ | 08:26 |

| Jewsus | How can I make XChat automatically identify my nick on startup? | 08:26 |
| voltagex | mouseboyx: do you notice a speed difference or something? | 08:26 |
| mouseboyx | I can't really tell, it seems slightly faster... | 08:27 |
| mouseboyx | It might just be phycoschematic | 08:27 |
| shishio | voltagex, i wanna install the 3d support graphics driver | 08:27 |
| voltagex | Jewsus: at the moment all I can point you to is man irssi, there's a config somewhere that allows you to make it automatically enter commands on connect | 08:27 |
| voltagex | shishio: yes, use the restricted manager | 08:27 |
| Jewsus | I'm not using irssi | 08:27 |
| Jewsus | Unless XChat == irssi? | 08:27 |
| voltagex | Jewsus: sorry, you're using xchat :P I just installed irssi :D | 08:28 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, well i noticed the other two repos in there are labeled partner insted of main | 08:28 |

| Jewsus | Alright | 08:28 |
| shishio | voltagex, its not fully supported with 3d accelerated, and dont do mean to me ^_^ pelase | 08:28 |
| some_dude | when I remove /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf the sytem boots, otherwise it just hangs | 08:28 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: well as long as all your other repos are ok and able to download, there shouldn't be any problem, other than extra time downloading lists | 08:29 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: please no PM--share in the main channel thanks | 08:29 |

| shishio | voltagex, i got heavy lags at platying games at wine | 08:30 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: although by default there will be one entry for deb and one for sources | 08:30 |
| voltagex | shishio: afaik a legacy driver is provided, one second | 08:30 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: you have ntfs-3g installed? | 08:30 |
| shishio | voltagex, ty ur gonna be my hero. ive been this prob for over weeks now | 08:30 |
| voltagex | shishio: that will happen even with a correct driver - have you tried a native linux game? (try Nexuiz) | 08:30 |
| fatedkiss | trying to add medibuntu as a repo, but i just read somewhere theres a list they appear on and its commented out | 08:31 |

| shishio | voltagex, lol, idk, but some native games here are ok.. does nexuiz need 3d graphics? | 08:31 |
| voltagex | shishio: from memory the FX5500 is an old card correct? | 08:31 |
| shishio | voltagex, yes | 08:32 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: using synaptic or the terminal | 08:32 |
| cheaziz | can u give me the terminal command, please? | 08:32 |

| massiveatom | is there an alternate program to ccd2iso for converting them to iso? | 08:34 |
| voltagex | shishio: go into System > Administraton > Software Sources and tick the box :) | 08:34 |
| okaasan | Is there anything like usenet explorer for linucks? | 08:34 |

| voltagex | shishio: look for "Proprietry drivers for devices (restricted)" | 08:37 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: go into synaptic | 08:37 |
| cheaziz | synaptic showed that ntfs-3g was installed, but ntfs-config was not... so i installed that | 08:37 |
| shishio | voltagex, done,, then what? | 08:37 |
| cheaziz | what next? | 08:37 |
| bazhang | add the first four repos cheaziz | 08:38 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss AND shishio you both need to update your package lists - in System > Administration > Synaptic | 08:38 |

| Creed | Is there any way to set priority on running programs on Ubuntu? Like with Windows? | 08:40 |
| cheaziz | the main Ubuntu menus are Applications Places and System | 08:40 |
| cheaziz | where do i go? | 08:40 |

| cheaziz | it reads Ubuntu Software, Third-Party Software, Updates, Authentication and Statistics | 08:44 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: iirc you just run a 32 bit version of firefox to use flash. | 08:44 |
| cheaziz | the download option is Main Server | 08:44 |
| shishio | voltagex, done, finished updating | 08:44 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: the first four not the tabs | 08:44 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: in fact, in your situation I'd just run a 32 bit browser full stop, I can't think of any advantage to running a 64 bit browser. | 08:44 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: what do you mean, couldn't synaptic find the 32bit firefox? | 08:45 |
| cheaziz | u mean the ones downloadable from the Internet? | 08:45 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, well ive been told but it comes down to no one can help me do so | 08:45 |
| peabody | Well, I wrote a text replacement program short of like texter and textpander... | 08:45 |
| peabody | so far so good. | 08:45 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, becaus ei have litteraly been searching forums for about 3 days | 08:45 |
| peabody | but I have race conditions, and that bugs me. | 08:45 |
| bazhang | yes cheaziz check the first four repositories main universe, etc, etc | 08:45 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: I will help you as much as I can. Where did you get stuck? | 08:45 |
| dehspehl | peabody: text replacement program? like sed? | 08:46 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, synaptic is only installing a 64 bit 2.0.6 installation of the browser named firefox | 08:46 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, really im stuck in 3 diff places | 08:46 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: that sounds like you need a 32 bit repository | 08:46 |
| peabody | dehspehl: Nah, kind of like abbreviations in vim, but for the entire desktop | 08:46 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, is there not a simpler way? | 08:47 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: can you PM me the name of the repository you're using? | 08:47 |
| Gunirus | afk | 08:47 |
| peabody | dehspehl: the windows folks seem to call these things text replacement programs | 08:47 |
| cheaziz | sorry, i accidentally disconnected myself | 08:47 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i mean can i not just download it from mozilla site? | 08:47 |
| cheaziz | lol | 08:47 |
| dehspehl | peabody: ahh.. how exactly would that work? | 08:47 |
| peabody | say I type afk | 08:47 |
| peabody | and hit a non-word character | 08:47 |
| cheaziz | ok, they are being downloaded now | 08:47 |
| peabody | I could have it backspace and type out 'away from keyboard' | 08:47 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: techically you could but it's much better to use a package and let Ubuntu manage it. | 08:47 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: after enabling those close the repo window and in synaptic hit the reload key | 08:48 |
| dehspehl | peabody: yeah, but does it like read every key that X receives and replace it 'live'? | 08:48 |
| peabody | dehspehl: yes | 08:48 |

| cheaziz | bazhang: i have done that. process complete. what next? | 08:48 |
| voltagex | peabody: ouch, expensive. | 08:48 |
| peabody | voltagex: cpu usage is practically zero | 08:49 |
| dehspehl | there's no other way, really... | 08:49 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i just feel this could of been fixed if (and no offence meant) that bod- or unOp would of just told me they had to go instead of dissapearing | 08:49 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: now search for the package you wanted-- forget what it was | 08:49 |
| cheaziz | ntfs-3g? | 08:49 |
| bazhang | right | 08:49 |
| peabody | But actually, it doesn't read it from x11, it reads it from /dev/input/* | 08:49 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: it really really sounds like you need to add a 32 bit repo and tell Synaptic or APT to use the 32 bit one. | 08:49 |
| bazhang | search for ntfs cheaziz | 08:49 |
| dehspehl | ahh so not limited to X even... | 08:49 |
| peabody | and that's my problem, it's not perfectly synced with x11 | 08:49 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: no use crying over spilt milk. This really isn't a complex problem. It's common and there are known workarounds. | 08:49 |
| cheaziz | there were several options already installed, with the exception of 1 | 08:50 |
| cheaziz | i have added that one too | 08:50 |
| peabody | dehspehl: well, sorta not limited, but...I use xtest to send events, so response is limited to x11 | 08:50 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, I dunno why you are having problems -- whats up now? | 08:50 |
| cheaziz | process complete | 08:50 |
| ozzy | hi | 08:50 |
| bazhang | now apply changes cheaziz | 08:50 |
| cheaziz | done that as well | 08:50 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, flash | 08:50 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, pm me | 08:51 |
| peabody | basically, a demonstration of the program is available here: http://peabody.weeman.org/autokey.html | 08:51 |
| bazhang | voltagex: and not even a thank you (nice work though) | 08:51 |
| dehspehl | peabody: could you somehow have an alternate device for when your program has "finished" with expanding, that can be used? | 08:51 |
| voltagex | bazhang: ? | 08:51 |
| un_op | voltagex, i didnt ask you to pm me :) because he's been at it for 2 days now | 08:52 |
| peabody | dehspehl: alternate device?? | 08:52 |
| fatedkiss | ill just try the repo | 08:52 |
| bazhang | saying nice work voltagex | 08:52 |
| dehspehl | peabody: like create your own device node | 08:52 |
| peabody | dehspehl: You mean something other than xtest? | 08:52 |
| voltagex | un_op: well if you're versed in this workaround then go for it. I can't understand what the problem is | 08:52 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, 3 really | 08:52 |
| un_op | voltagex, it's just getting a chroot up, is all | 08:53 |
| reakta1 | HI! Where does ubuntu read its configuration from when xorg.conf AND failsafe are missing please? | 08:53 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, ok, 3 then -- pm me | 08:53 |
| voltagex | un_op: sudo :P | 08:53 |
| un_op | voltagex, sudo? | 08:53 |
| dehspehl | peabody: no, like /dev/input/expanded and have X use that | 08:53 |
| voltagex | un_op: I hate chroots :D | 08:53 |
| peabody | dehspehl: well, I don't know... can yousend input to /dev/input? I mean, I can only make device nodes the kernel supports without having to make my own kernel patch (which is beyond my realm of expertise) | 08:53 |
| un_op | reakta1, it autoconfigures itself | 08:53 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, i was advised all i need to do is install a 32bit flash or 32bit firfox instead of going through chroot wich is honestly not making sence | 08:54 |
| mcunixjr | anyone tried seahorse? | 08:54 |
| peabody | dehspehl: I wouldn't know how to get X to use that, but that's not the issue really. The problem is not relying on X for reading the input. Basically, my program seems to read input a little faster than X does! | 08:54 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: you get it installed? | 08:54 |
| peabody | dehspehl: so the problem is, I drive these expansions by sending backspaces to wipe out the abbreviation. | 08:54 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, it doesnt make sense to me either - afaik, you need a chroot to get 32bit apps running within a 64bit system | 08:54 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: yes, that's what I think too, but un_op may know better | 08:55 |
| bazhang | not sure if you need to log out /log in again for the changes to work--no ntfs drives here ;] | 08:55 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, how well did it go with the chroot? | 08:55 |
| peabody | dehspehl: If all KeyPress events haven't made theiI way to the window, I end up backspacing things I'm not supposed to, etc, etc. | 08:55 |
| dehspehl | peabody: ahh | 08:55 |
| cheaziz | bazhang: why does the command 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5/media/DATA DRIVE -o force' resuse to work? | 08:55 |
| cheaziz | i am logged in as root | 08:55 |
| reakta1 | un_op: is there a way to PARTLY configure xorg.conf? Apropos I'd like to configure my mouse manually but let ubuntu load up my graphics etc. | 08:55 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, the instructions work but there parts in it that make no sence. like where and how to install the linux32 without removing necessery files | 08:55 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: why root? | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | Well - a space in the name of the mountpoint will require you to quote or escape the space. | 08:56 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss, un_op: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 | 08:56 |
| Dr_willis | I suggest use DataDrive | 08:56 |
| peabody | dehspehl: I pretty much put in a delay that works realy really well, but the problem is that the amount of the delay to use would probably vary from system to system. | 08:56 |
| cheaziz | because when i tried before i got an error saying that it can only be done in root | 08:56 |
| un_op | reakta1, sure, just create an xorg.conf and put your customisations in | 08:56 |
| cheaziz | so i logged in as su | 08:56 |
| bazhang | oy | 08:56 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, pretty much everything you install is in the chroot - except the first two packages schroot and debootstrap | 08:57 |
| bazhang | !sudo | cheaziz | 08:57 |
| ubotu | cheaziz: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 08:57 |
| peabody | I was kind of hoping I'd receive more response to the program because I wrote it specifically because a lot of people seemed to be bothered by the fact that desktop Linux didn't have any programs like Textpander. | 08:57 |
| dehspehl | peabody: I did forget you had to delete the abbrev | 08:57 |
| reakta1 | un_op: tried that and my X doesn't want to load then... it logs errors about not finding screens and devices... any workarounds? | 08:57 |
| cheaziz | ok, so what is the command to mount the drive? | 08:57 |
| * Dr_willis has never heard of textpander. | 08:57 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 08:57 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, the thing is it doesnt tell you when to change directories or if you have to at all | 08:58 |
| cheaziz | !sudo | 08:58 |
| un_op | reakta1, try this command to see if xorg.conf is created -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorf | 08:58 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 08:58 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: did you see what Dr_willis said upthread? | 08:58 |
| un_op | reakta1, try this command to see if xorg.conf is created -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg (oops) | 08:58 |
| dehspehl | peabody: do you use events to send all input? I assume there's a way to send to input directly | 08:58 |
| Dr_willis | 'mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb5 /media/DATADRIVE' or similer | 08:58 |
| voltagex | un_op: no offence, but I'd stop ****ing around with chroot and use that script. It looks very good. | 08:58 |
| peabody | dehspehl: Not that I know of. If you know anything that'd be great, but I've been looking :). | 08:58 |
| cheaziz | that is the command that i use | 08:58 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, well it does -- about the 3rd command asks you to chroot, and everything from there on happens in the chroot | 08:59 |
| dehspehl | peabody: which would bypass xtest, but might or might not stop the race condition.. i think | 08:59 |
| un_op | voltagex, !language - kids and women do come in here | 08:59 |
| arnath | are there any known problems with the "cook" audio codec? | 08:59 |
| peabody | dehspehl: The race condition is probably unavoidable because I'm not getting the events from X | 08:59 |
| peabody | dehspehl: Bad news is, I couldn't find a reliable way to snoop every keystroke in X | 08:59 |
| voltagex | un_op: that's why I used asterisks, but understood. | 08:59 |
| peabody | All implementations I found just didn't reliably do what I needed. | 09:00 |
| dehspehl | peabody: hmm, that was supposed to be an unavoidable problem on multi-user X servers (several users at a time, one big display) | 09:00 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, if you're out of patience, you could try the link voltagex just posted, it looks promising | 09:00 |
| glickster | howdy | 09:00 |
| cheaziz | bazhang: now u see why i was PMing u... lol | 09:00 |
| fatedkiss | un_op, and when i do that i got those errors i posted earlier | 09:00 |
| bazhang | dont want root on irc cheaziz | 09:01 |
| peabody | dehspehl: Well, I've tried the programs I saw, keylogging is something that people don't seem to care about losing bits of input here and there :) | 09:01 |
| glickster | is it me or does the new compbiz suck compared to the older beryl | 09:01 |
| un_op | fatedkiss, scrap the chroot project, it's probably not worth it | 09:01 |
| reakta1 | un_op: that will create one indeed but the problem is that my video card seems to be that most ANTI-linux one and doesn't want to configure with the xorg.conf... But I do need that file for my touchpad etc... Are you shure there's a way to have that file only partial? | 09:01 |
| peabody | all the keylogger implementations I found either didn't work, or didn't capture input events from newly created windows. | 09:01 |
| Dr_willis | glickster, its just you. | 09:01 |
| cheaziz | brb | 09:01 |
| dehspehl | peabody: generally you just want the ones that are password, etc.. otherwise it's a bad keylogger if it can't get those | 09:01 |
| glickster | Dr_willis, it doesnt have as many options as beryl had | 09:01 |
| dehspehl | peabody: http://www.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/securityfocus/focus-linux/2005-08/0055.html | 09:01 |
| Dr_willis | glickster, big deal. | 09:01 |
| voltagex | glickster: in what way? compiz seems to be a lot less buggy. | 09:01 |
| dehspehl | peabody: don't know if that would help or not | 09:02 |
| voltagex | glickster: default gutsy install? | 09:02 |
| Dr_willis | glickster, beryl is dead. from what i gather.. the code is now merged into compiz-fusion. | 09:02 |
| Talcite | has anyone heard of the hamiltonian path problem before? | 09:02 |
| un_op | reakta1, what i would do if i were you is use that command to generate the xorg.conf as much as possible, then edit to make changes to accomodate the video card, touchpad, etc | 09:02 |
| peabody | dehspehl: I'll take a look, thanks. | 09:02 |
| Dr_willis | I imagine in a year there will be 10000+ plugins/extras for compiz-fusiion that no one ever uses or needs. :) | 09:02 |
| glickster | yeah voltagex | 09:02 |
| peabody | dehspehl: Ahaha! hey, that's the exact keylogger programm I ended up using for my program! | 09:03 |
| voltagex | glickster: ah, the extra options are in another package | 09:03 |
| peabody | It's the defacto example of /dev/input keylogging out there. | 09:03 |
| un_op | reakta1, that could mean things like the video card arent created initially but you can always add it in later | 09:03 |
| peabody | I basically altered it to spit out just the keysequences, one per line | 09:03 |
| peabody | I then read it from a pipe from my python-xlib program. | 09:04 |
| dehspehl | peabody: so that doesn't help.. | 09:04 |
| voltagex | glickster: compizconfig-settings-manager | 09:04 |
| dehspehl | peabody: doesn't that program show how to send keys as well? | 09:04 |
| glickster | voltagex, what package? | 09:04 |
| voltagex | glickster: so sudo apt-get compizconfig-settings-manager or install it using Synaptic | 09:04 |
| peabody | dehspehl: nah | 09:04 |
| glickster | jesus! | 09:04 |
| glickster | why the hell is it another package!? | 09:04 |
| glickster | that makes no sense | 09:04 |
| voltagex | glickster: ^ above, although I'm lagging about 6 seconds behind you. | 09:05 |
| cheaziz | am back | 09:05 |
| voltagex | glickster: because not everyone needs the extra options, and they may be confusing for newbies. | 09:05 |
| peabody | dehspehl: anyway. the real issue is that if I'm not relying on x to report key events to me, I'm not synchronized with X. | 09:05 |
| peabody | not being synchronized with X means there will always be race conditions. | 09:06 |
| peabody | The only true way to do this right is to write a kernel module that can intercept all input and alter it. | 09:06 |
| cheaziz | bazhang: what were u saying about the sudo command? | 09:06 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: as normal user? | 09:06 |
| peabody | But I wanted to see if I could create a solution that wouldn't depend on hacking the kernel. | 09:06 |
| dehspehl | peabody: i.e. being linux all the way or X all the way | 09:06 |
| cheaziz | am the new guy here... lol... u show me the ropes | 09:07 |
| peabody | dehspehl: exactly | 09:07 |
| dehspehl | peabody: plus, would be easier to port... | 09:07 |
| cheaziz | assume I KNOW NOTHING about Linux... that way it will be easier | 09:07 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: best to never use su--lots of risk there | 09:07 |
| cheaziz | compare to me, you are in college, while i am in kindergarten | 09:07 |
| glickster | can ubuntu brew beer? | 09:07 |
| cheaziz | ok... advice taken | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | that would be Brewbuntu | 09:07 |
| cheaziz | how do we do this with sudo? | 09:07 |
| bazhang | haha Dr_willis | 09:07 |
| glickster | im thinking of creating a isreali version of ubuntu | 09:08 |
| peabody | dehspehl: yeah, If I was able to create something that only depended upon X11, it could be used in other circumstances. | 09:08 |
| glickster | called Jewbuntu | 09:08 |
| mueslix | hey guys... what's the group sambashare for? is it supposed to be the group for all users who want to connect to a share on my server? or for admin users? | 09:08 |
| reakta1 | un_op: thanks - i'm off to ellaborate.. | 09:08 |
| glickster | if anyone wants to help... | 09:08 |
| bazhang | glickster: offtopic | 09:08 |
| massiveatom | glickster: rofl! i love the name | 09:08 |
| Dr_willis | I dont even have that group mueslix .. | 09:09 |
| peabody | dehspehl: bad news is, all of my attempts to read keyboard input from x just didn't seem to work well at all, which, like you said, is ironic because security experts have been harping for years that it's just soooo easy to listen to all the keystrokes in x11 without security | 09:09 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: do the ntfs drives show up now? | 09:09 |
| * bazhang bets he has permission issues now | 09:09 | |
| glickster | heh | 09:09 |
| peabody | But I gotta say, | 09:09 |
| peabody | I sorta wrote this program not because I really needed it... | 09:10 |
| peabody | but because I thought other people might want to use it... | 09:10 |
| peabody | And I've received zero input from other people | 09:10 |
| bazhang | peabody: gpl? | 09:10 |
| peabody | yeah | 09:10 |
| peabody | http://peabody.weeman.org/autokey.html | 09:10 |
| bazhang | well it is night time for most users so wait a bit | 09:10 |
| cheaziz | bazhang: they show up, but they cannot be mounted | 09:11 |
| mueslix | Dr_willis: oh i should mention: that's me running hardy | 09:11 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: any error messages? | 09:11 |
| cheaziz | yes... | 09:11 |
| bazhang | !hardy | mueslix | 09:11 |
| ubotu | mueslix: 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 | 09:11 |
| bazhang | cheaziz: permission problems? | 09:12 |
| peabody | bazhang: Well, that's the thing, I announced it on the ubuntu forums, a while ago. got no feedback at all. | 09:12 |
| === human2008 is now known as human | ||
| peabody | Kind of a downer considering that if you search for AutoHotKey (the windows equivalent) you get a bunch of messages about how people are looking for replacement programs. | 09:12 |
| === human is now known as human3000 | ||
| bazhang | peabody: that is probably not the best place--that is mostly new users wanting to get the cube spinning | 09:13 |
| cheaziz | $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) Failed to mount /dev/sdb5 Operation not supported Mounted is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | Spin that Cube! | 09:13 |
| bazhang | ruh roh | 09:13 |
| peabody | bazhang: heh, well the abf yeah. But I put it under programming talk and other places. | 09:13 |
| dehspehl | the cube is overrated, but compiz is still a far superior WM | 09:13 |
| cheaziz | how do i edit the /etc/fstab file? | 09:13 |
| peabody | The nicest thing about compiz in my opinion is the zoom plugin. | 09:14 |
| cheaziz | there is the command line to be added | 09:14 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, its a text file. use sudo WHATEVEDITIRYOULIKE /etc/fstab | 09:14 |
| peabody | With zoom, it's easy to make desktop videos for youtube that people can actually see. | 09:14 |
| massiveatom | cheaziz: sudo gedit /etc/fstab ? | 09:14 |
| peabody | That's how I made the video for autokey | 09:14 |
| cheaziz | /dev/sdb5/media/DATA DRIVE ntfs-3g defaults, force 0 0 | 09:14 |
| voltagex | peabody: yes! I just discovered that. Wonder if it can do anti aliasing | 09:14 |
| bazhang | peabody: true | 09:14 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, command lines dont go in fstab. 'fstab entries' go in there :) | 09:14 |
| cheaziz | ok, let me see | 09:14 |
| cheaziz | drwillis: thanks | 09:15 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, and that line you pasted has several tyos in it. | 09:15 |
| cheaziz | drwillis: am glad u r watching over me | 09:15 |
| peabody | voltagex: if you convert the video using mencoder the result is nice and smooth looking | 09:15 |
| bazhang | tyos haha | 09:15 |
| cheaziz | drwillis: i am typing it as it was shown here... | 09:15 |
| bazhang | irony unbound | 09:15 |
| Dr_willis | its /dev/DEVICE /path/to/Mount/To | 09:15 |
| voltagex | peabody: unfortunately then YouTube makes it look bad then. | 09:15 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, you are missing a space and you need to give the full path to the mountpoint | 09:15 |
| cheaziz | /dev/sdb5/media/DATA DRIVE ntfs-3g defaults, force 0 0 | 09:16 |
| peabody | voltagex: I don't know, what do you think of this: http://peabody.weeman.org/autokey.html | 09:16 |
| dehspehl | YouTube videos are very low resolution | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | and i doubt if you want to use 'force' | 09:16 |
| dehspehl | there's a reason they don't even have a download link | 09:16 |
| cheaziz | can u correct it? i copied from the error message | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, if you want it to mount to /media/DRIVE you need to tell it /media/DRIVE | 09:16 |
| Dr_willis | and the directoru /media/DRIVE MUST exist beforhand. | 09:16 |
| voltagex | peabody: I don't know, apparently I don't have flash xD | 09:17 |
| cheaziz | the drive label is DATA DRIVE | 09:17 |
| cheaziz | WITH a space | 09:17 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, the drive label means nothing.. | 09:17 |
| cheaziz | could that be the problem? | 09:17 |
| peabody | voltagex: ah, nm then | 09:17 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, you could name it 'hotvideos' | 09:17 |
| bazhang | hehe | 09:17 |
| travisat | peabody: when you type something in does it automatically change it or do you have to press some key to make it work? | 09:17 |
| Plen0x | So, uh. Changing my default mixer device in "system->sound" didn't make everything use it. | 09:17 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, its /dev/Device /whatever/path/you/want | 09:17 |
| Plen0x | Only thing I have sound for is skype and pidgin | 09:17 |
| peabody | travisat: automatic | 09:17 |
| voltagex | peabody: no, I've just set this machine up, I'll tell you what I think when flash installs. | 09:17 |
| peabody | travisat: although it doesn't expand until a non-word character is typed | 09:18 |
| travisat | peabody: ah ok I personally would not want it system wide because I know there are many places where what I write is what I mean to write and having it expand on what I wrote might cause problems | 09:18 |
| voltagex | erghh. md5sum mismatch for Flash. | 09:18 |
| peabody | travisat: I hear ya, I'm going to be adding a trigger key that can turn the program off temporarily | 09:18 |
| dehspehl | cheaziz: /dev/sdb5 /media/mountpoint ntfs-3g defaults,force 0 0 | 09:19 |
| Ziroday | !flash | voltagex | 09:19 |
| ubotu | voltagex: 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 | 09:19 |
| 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. | 09:19 |
| peabody | travisat: To be honest, it's not even something I use myself much, I wrote because people apparantly want that...they want something like the textpander and autohotkey programs | 09:19 |
| dehspehl | still broken? | 09:19 |
| Plen0x | Aw, everyone is to busy to help me :P | 09:19 |
| bazhang | yesh | 09:19 |
| bazhang | !night | 09:20 |
| ubotu | It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | 09:20 |
| travisat | peabody: well yah I can type out what I want usually as fast as the couple of letters for the acronym | 09:20 |
| voltagex | yes that is how I tried to install Flash | 09:20 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i somehow messed up my mozilla browser | 09:20 |
| cheaziz | drwillis: i have done that... now what? | 09:20 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: do tell! | 09:20 |
| dehspehl | cheaziz: make sure '/media/mountpoint' has no spaces etc, and is an existing and empty directory | 09:20 |
| dehspehl | cheaziz: then do 'sudo mount /media/mountpoint' | 09:21 |
| Dr_willis | or sudo mount -a | 09:21 |
| fatedkiss | well i installed the 32 bit version but now it doesnt have any of the toolbars or anything | 09:21 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: what do you mean by any of the toolbars? | 09:21 |
| cheaziz | empty directory? | 09:21 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: sure they're not just unticked? | 09:21 |
| dehspehl | I have had a Ubuntu install screw up and forget to setup sudo before | 09:21 |
| fatedkiss | like i dont have file..bookmarks, etc.. | 09:21 |
| cheaziz | the DATA DRIVE has tons of data... does this mean the command may ERASE all the data? | 09:21 |
| dehspehl | cheaziz: NOOO | 09:22 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i have no way to click them if they are | 09:22 |
| Dr_willis | cheaziz, no - it will make the drive show up at the mountpoint | 09:22 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: wow, ouch. uninstall and reinstall? | 09:22 |
| etrask | hello, I was hoping someone could help me with an error message my computer keeps showing | 09:22 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i tried that | 09:22 |
| peabody | etrask: sure, just ask the question | 09:22 |
| cheaziz | should i reboot, or just do the sudo command? | 09:22 |
| voltagex | etrask: yes, describe/copy the error message | 09:22 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i purged firefox, then i reinstall and i get both the 64bit and 32 bit both with same problem | 09:22 |
| etrask | I just installed Ubuntu server on it, and the console keeps printing "[ *some number* ] over-current change on port x" | 09:22 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: I'm really sorry I don't know what is going wrong | 09:22 |
| etrask | x keeps changing between 2 and 4 | 09:22 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, me either | 09:23 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: actually, try starting a terminal and starting firefox there | 09:23 |
| etrask | I know it's probably not an ubuntu problem | 09:23 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, whats the syntax | 09:23 |
| peabody | etrask: Well, can you use the system? | 09:23 |
| etrask | still, I can't really use the console with it printing about 10 of those a second | 09:23 |
| dehspehl | cheaziz: use 'sudo mount -a', just in case you set something by accident that would prevent booting | 09:23 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: firefox-bin I think | 09:23 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: try typing fire and pressing tab | 09:23 |
| peabody | etrask: have you tried switching to a different vt? | 09:23 |
| etrask | yeah, they all show that | 09:24 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: you might also want to try with a new profile | 09:24 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, same thing | 09:24 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: yes, but are there any errors printed in Terminal? | 09:24 |
| peabody | etrask: Any chance you could copy the exact error message here? | 09:24 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: also, try Ziroday's suggestion. | 09:24 |
| fatedkiss | Ziroday, new profile? | 09:24 |
| etrask | it's on the other system, hold on I'll write it down | 09:24 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: one min | 09:25 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: run firefox -profilemanager | 09:26 |
| mindframe | what package is the 'service' command included in? | 09:26 |
| pteague | anybody familiar enough with svn & svn:ignore to know whether you could use svn:ignore to ignore everything except a specific extension? | 09:27 |
| Dr_willis | gee is ent service just like an alias for /etc/init.d/whatever start :) | 09:27 |
| etrask | peabody: [563.92385] hub 4-0:1.0 over-current change on port 4 | 09:27 |
| Dr_willis | i saw some tutorial/site mention it. but i never use dit. | 09:27 |
| etrask | the number in brackets just keeps incrementing so I couldn't get the EXACT number | 09:27 |
| etrask | but "hub 4" and "port 4" keep alternating between 4 and 2 | 09:27 |
| EdgEy_ | looks like a usb hub error | 09:28 |
| etrask | :( | 09:28 |
| Symmetria | *sigh* now the fun starts, rsynching 7.6 terabytes of data from one machine to another | 09:28 |
| etrask | hub? not the stuff directly on the mobo? | 09:28 |
| EdgEy_ | maybe you can unplug some devices and figure out if it stops ? | 09:28 |
| etrask | the onlything plugged into a USB port at all is the mouse | 09:28 |
| EdgEy_ | strange | 09:28 |
| etrask | I've tried and it keeps doing it :( | 09:28 |
| voltagex | Symmetria: over what connection, and how on earth did you generate 7.6TB? | 09:28 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: any luck? | 09:29 |

| Spee_Der | Good morning all. | 09:30 |
| Symmetria | heh voltage Im just wishing I had a spare 10gig interface, I have one in the server Im rsynching FROM but not one in the one Im rsyching 2 | 09:30 |

| Spee_Der | Hi Ken | 09:31 |
| voltagex | Symmetria: just interested how much are you paying for drives, also what size? | 09:31 |
| fatedkiss | Ziroday, sorry went to check on something sounded like someone wa sin my house | 09:32 |
| Spee_Der | fatedkiss, hope all is okay. | 09:32 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: no problems | 09:32 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: ubuntu cannot prevent break ins :D | 09:32 |
| * Spee_Der working on2nd cup of wake up juice. | 09:32 | |
| kykyu | :) I'd like to ask a question... I've installed a new Ubuntu but every time I need to include env variables http_proxy/ftp_proxy for passing thru the proxy. Can I have some alternative ways? | 09:32 |
| Symmetria | heh voltagex cant remeber what we paid for em, but those sdk, sdl and sdm are 500gig sata disks in iSCSI arrays, md0 is an array of 8 300gig internal SCSI drives | 09:32 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, Ziroday, Spee_Der, naw i was just reay get beat someone with a studded belt and stab with a pen | 09:33 |
| Symmetria | then there are 2 more scsi disks on the base system | 09:33 |
| Symmetria | but that machine in total has 46 disks linked to it (tons and tons of space lost because of raid redundancy though) | 09:33 |
| Dr_willis | Theres so many HD's in that machine im suprised it dont spin around like a gyroscope | 09:33 |
| voltagex | Symmetria: current prices are <50cAUD per GB for 500GB drives. 2TB is looking nice. | 09:33 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 09:33 |
| Spee_Der | fatedkiss, I want the video | 09:33 |
| Symmetria | heh I have another array in the machine Im rsyching from which is made up of 15 x 750gig SATA disks in a SAS attached storage bay | 09:34 |
| * Spee_Der is once again thankful for all the help in this ubuntu channel..... | 09:34 | |
| fatedkiss | Spee_Der, so will the cops | 09:34 |
| Symmetria | that thing is *FAST* | 09:34 |
| Spee_Der | fatedkiss, ya' think ? :> | 09:34 |
| Symmetria | and ubuntu had no problem with the controller :) | 09:34 |
| fatedkiss | Spee_Der, /shrug | 09:34 |
| fatedkiss | Ziroday, firefox -profilemanager didnt work | 09:35 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: what kind of iscsi system? | 09:35 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: well then you really are stuffed, is your machine 32 or 64bit? | 09:35 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: commercial or home-brew? | 09:35 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN the iscsi systems are intel SSR220MA's | 09:35 |
| Symmetria | intel systems | 09:36 |
| fatedkiss | Ziroday, 64 | 09:36 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: so homebrew? :) | 09:36 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: are you running 32bit or 64bit version of ubuntu? | 09:36 |
| Symmetria | I wouldnt go iscsi again if I could avoid it | 09:36 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN no | 09:36 |
| fatedkiss | Ziroday, 64 | 09:36 |
| pawan | wanted virtua girl for ubuntu | 09:36 |
| Spee_Der | Symmetria, why is that ? | 09:36 |
| Symmetria | ooops they are SSR212MA's I think, those are dedicated intel san's | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | for iSCSI | 09:37 |
| JonathanD | ahh | 09:37 |
| JonathanD | alright | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | spee its slow as hell compared to something like SAS | 09:37 |
| peabody | edit superuberaber superuberabber | 09:37 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: really? | 09:37 |
| peabody | ah | 09:37 |
| Spee_Der | Ok | 09:37 |
| JonathanD | mmm | 09:37 |
| peabody | sorry about that | 09:37 |
| peabody | playing around with my program | 09:37 |
| JonathanD | iscsi on proper hardware is just fine. | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN its fine, but its not as fast as something like a powervault md1000 array | 09:37 |
| Symmetria | and the powervault md1000 arrays are no more expensive than the iSCSI systems | 09:38 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: well from what I can see you have 2 choices, a) use another browser besides firefox (opera or epiphnay) or b) you reinstall (i recommend you use the 32bit version nextime) | 09:38 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: I'm using DS3400 for stuff in that space. | 09:38 |
| Symmetria | heh, I cap out on my powervault systems with a read speed of over 400Mbytes/second | 09:38 |
| Symmetria | and a write speed of 200Mbytes/second | 09:38 |

| JonathanD | Symmetria: well, Gbit ethernet wil be a limitation there anyway : | 09:38 |
| JonathanD | on a per host basis, at least. | 09:39 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN err dont run gigE in that box for most things :) | 09:39 |
| Symmetria | run 10gE | 09:39 |
| Symmetria | ixgbe card | 09:39 |
| JonathanD | does it offer CPU monitoring? | 09:39 |
| JonathanD | whats the bottleneck? | 09:39 |
| fatedkiss | Ziroday, might still be hope, i just need to get tot he link i was at | 09:39 |
| Ziroday | fatedkiss: aha | 09:39 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN bottleneck is the sas controllers, they are limited to 3gigabit per controller, 2 controlloers into the array | 09:39 |
| JonathanD | cause you take something like a midrange nseries, and you can saturate multiple GBe adapters. | 09:40 |
| Symmetria | heh that and the physical disk speed :) | 09:40 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: I'm talking about on the iscsi box. | 09:40 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, can you repost that link for me by anychance? | 09:40 |
| voltagex | fatedkiss: afk, 5mins | 09:40 |
| cheaziz | i am back folks | 09:40 |
| voltagex | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435 | 09:41 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: like the IBM DS3000 series, they're sas backed, but iscsi, sas, or FC frontend | 09:41 |
| Symmetria | JonathanD Im not actually sure, I want to strip those boxes down, rip out the flash drive in them, put ubuntu on them, put software raid on them, and then turn them into NFS systems | 09:41 |
| Symmetria | :p | 09:41 |
| cheaziz | i got the external NFTS drive (which has two partitions) to work, after mounting and unmounting it on a Win box... | 09:41 |
| Symmetria | I have a feeling that the operating system on those iSCSI san's is its bottleneck | 09:41 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: ahh :P | 09:41 |
| cheaziz | now, how do I import Adobe Illustrator (.AI) (Windows) files using Inkscape? | 09:41 |
| Peng | Think Ubuntu would let me get away with swapping PS/2 keyboards? | 09:42 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: I really like iscsi, just not as an end all be all solution. | 09:42 |
| Dr_willis | fire up inkscape see if it can load it? | 09:42 |
| cheaziz | inkscape loads up ok | 09:42 |
| pawan | hi | 09:42 |
| pawan | wanted virtua girl for ubuntu | 09:42 |
| Dr_willis | I recall some other vector editor program for linux and windows both - BUt it wasent gpl. I forget its name. :( | 09:42 |
| JonathanD | I'd like to see more combo iscsi/fc hardware. | 09:42 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN iSCSI works for mass storage etc, it just doesnt work imho as a very high speed solution for load intensive systems | 09:42 |
| travisat | Peng: it isn't ubuntu you need to be worried about, you really shouldn't be pulling out ps/2 stuff with the computer on | 09:42 |
| Symmetria | jonathaN I'd rather go external SAS than almost anything, external SAS is faster than FC as well | 09:43 |
| JonathanD | with both interfaces on the storage controller, to give you flexability for inexpensive stuff. | 09:43 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: SAS is a slower interface. | 09:43 |
| rama_8086 | how can i create a multisession disk in ubuntu | 09:43 |
| cheaziz | drwillis: does xara LX translate .AI files? | 09:43 |
| Symmetria | and with the powervault you can throw in SATA disks | 09:43 |
| Symmetria | errr no, its not | 09:43 |
| JonathanD | with the same speed disks, it wont be any faster. | 09:43 |
| Symmetria | FC = 2gigabit | 09:43 |
| Symmetria | SAS = 3gigabit | 09:43 |
| voltagex | Symmetria: It'd work just fine for my MP3 collection^H^H^H^H^Hcommercial multimedia productions | 09:43 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: old FC = 2gb | 09:44 |
| JonathanD | current would be 4, or more. | 09:44 |
| JonathanD | I haven't installed a new piece of FC equipment < 4Gb in over a year. | 09:44 |
| pawan | hello | 09:44 |
| Peng | travisat: Really? Hmph, ok. Perhaps it's time for me to start using USB? | 09:44 |
| Symmetria | JonathanD fair enough, other thing though about FC, are there any *fast* FC array boxes which take SATA disks in them? | 09:45 |
| Symmetria | (my SAS arrays are filled with large SATA disks) | 09:45 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: DS4000 | 09:45 |
| s1n | hello there | 09:45 |
| Symmetria | JonathanD pricey or not really? | 09:45 |
| JonathanD | DS3000, although it's FC frontend/Sas backend. | 09:45 |
| Peng | travisat: What happens if I do pull 'em out? Frying? Explosions? | 09:46 |
| Symmetria | thats an IBM box right? | 09:46 |
| voltagex | what on earth? What would cause a clock skew on a compile? | 09:46 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: the DS4000 is up there, it's still midrange though. | 09:46 |
| JonathanD | DS3000 is pretty affordable. | 09:46 |
| JonathanD | as SANs go. | 09:46 |
| JonathanD | both are IBM boxes. | 09:46 |
| travisat | Peng: most likely nothing, but there is a very small chance you could short something | 09:46 |

| rama_8086 | how can i create a multisession CD when i am writing the data | 09:47 |

| s1n | i installed ubuntu linux yet. but it doesnt see me as a root, so it doesnt show me new updates. what can i do ? | 09:47 |
| travisat | Peng: oh and there is no reason to use usb as of yet | 09:47 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: no. but I admit I have an IBM bias. | 09:47 |
| * Symmetria notes that IBM is probably not going to give him great pricing :p they arent very happy with me | 09:48 | |
| scraga1 | hey, I'm using GTK with C, yet it throws errors that it cannot find gtk/gtk.h -- what path should I use instead? | 09:48 |
| Peng | travisat: I think I unplugged my keyboard and mouse once for some reason. Nothing was damaged, but the computer stopped recognizing them and I had to hard reset or something. Whoops. | 09:48 |
| Symmetria | infact I think our local IBM office probably hates my guts right now :p | 09:48 |
| Peng | travisat: Wouldn't USB let me have two plugged in at one time? | 09:48 |

| JonathanD | Symmetria: likely be totally different sales folks if you went to them for storage. | 09:50 |
| Peng | travisat: Anyway, thanks for the help. | 09:50 |
| JonathanD | Symmetria: yeah, they're huge cisco vendor. I think they sell more than cisco does. | 09:50 |

| DarkW0lf | does anybody know if there's a solution to the problem? | 09:56 |
| filthpig | DarkW0lf, use Suspend | 09:57 |
| fatedkiss | voltagex, i probably will..just have to redownload the iso for it | 09:57 |

| ikonia | nymtar: you'll be better joining ##windows to raise that error | 10:06 |
| peabody | nymtar: Not sure if anyone here can help you since it seems to be a windows related problem, have you tried booting into recovery mode from the CD? | 10:06 |
| travisat | arnath: not on linux :( | 10:06 |
| pawan | hi | 10:06 |
| arnath | travisat: aw :< | 10:06 |
| nymtar | ikonia, i am there already | 10:06 |
| ikonia | nymtar: great | 10:06 |
| travisat | arnath: there probably is one, but I only know about the windows side of movie encoding | 10:06 |
| arnath | travisat: ah, will see if my good pal google can help me out then :P | 10:07 |
| travisat | arnath: good luck | 10:07 |
| nymtar | peabody, will try this, but i think the problem lies within ubuntu, because the problem from one day to another | 10:07 |
| arnath | travisat: thanks :) | 10:07 |
| peabody | nymtar: were you able to boot windows after you installed ubuntu? | 10:07 |
| nymtar | +came ^^ | 10:07 |
| ikonia | nymtar: the problem does not have anything to do with ubuntu | 10:07 |
| nymtar | peabody, yes, countless times | 10:07 |
| ikonia | nymtar: ubuntu cannot effect your windows partition. The most likley think is that your disk partitioning/resizing has caused some corruption on the windows file system that can be fixed using windows techniques | 10:08 |
| peabody | nymtar: unless you tried to mount your windows partition so you could write to it under ubuntu, ubuntu shouldn't have done anything to your windows partition | 10:08 |
| filthpig | I have problems converting flac to mp3 with SoundConverter, I've tried all modes | 10:08 |
| nymtar | i used ubuntu like 3 days straight without using winxp .. then tried xp -> bluescreen | 10:08 |
| ikonia | nymtar: get the guys in ##windows to help you debug the bluescreen error | 10:08 |
| peabody | nymtar: Like I said, unless you did something in Ubuntu to try and read your windows partition, it's not Ubuntu's fault. | 10:09 |
| nymtar | hm | 10:09 |
| peabody | Ubuntu wouldn't do that by default. | 10:09 |
| peabody | nymtar: you really should try to boot your XP CD and hit the recovery console to see if there's anything you can do. Did you try safe mode? | 10:10 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu tries to be a well behaved child. :P | 10:10 |
| Bruum | witch drivers are best for ATI Radeon card??? | 10:10 |
| travisat | filthpig: flac -d foo.flac, make the wave then use lame to rencode as mp3 | 10:11 |
| peabody | Bruum: depends on which model radeon | 10:11 |
| Bruum | 1900PRO | 10:11 |
| peabody | 9100Pro? | 10:11 |
| peabody | Bruum: If it's a fairly current model, then from my understanding it's good to try the proprietary drivers | 10:12 |

I have been following the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV_Gutsy_Backend_Frontend_Desktop mythtv guide and have launched mythtv setup, but upon doing so have encountered "incorrect group membership" window and am confused | 10:19 |
| michu | what i must to do ?? | 10:19 |
| us | can anyone helP? | 10:19 |
| ompaul | daya, you will need to explore other options yourself | 10:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | What's the command to get ubotu to pm me some info... "!flash > ArthurA" didn't seem to work. | 10:19 |
| filthpig | travisat, sorry I'm not too good with command lines, but I need to copy everything over to a new folder, like from ~/Music/foo to ~/Mp3 Music/foo | 10:19 |
| daya | ompaul, hmm, | 10:19 |
| Seveas | michu, try to undo whatever mess envy created and install the driver properly | 10:19 |
| us | It says "You must be a member of the "mythtv" group before starting any mythtv applications. | 10:19 |
| us | Would you like to automatically be added to the group? | 10:19 |
| us | (Note: sudo access required)" | 10:19 |
| travisat | filthpig: if you google you will probably find a solution | 10:20 |
| Seveas | you probably won't get support here until you do that :) | 10:20 |
| peabody | Nobody finds a programmer's toil worthwhile? *sniff* *sniff* | 10:20 |
| Seveas | us, sudo adduser your_username_here mythtv | 10:20 |
| Seveas | us, then logout and log back in | 10:20 |
| Dr_willis | us - so tell it yes? :) | 10:20 |
| travisat | filthpig: you might try audio-convert | 10:20 |
| michu | i do it i uinstall envy drivers but i have too have problem | 10:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | !flash | 10:20 |
| 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 | 10:20 |
| 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. | 10:20 |
| us | ok i'll try it - thanks | 10:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | I'm confused. Is flash broken or not... or is that message saying that the broken packages are now available in the backports. | 10:21 |
| Seveas | ArthurArchnix, I think the factoid is outdated | 10:21 |
| us | Seveas, it says i'm already a member of the group | 10:21 |
| us | i'll try clicking yes | 10:21 |
| Seveas | us, log out and log back in | 10:22 |
| Seveas | that should help | 10:22 |
| Dr_willis | THeres a deb package i use - in the 2nd factoid. it works for firefox. but not konqueror | 10:22 |
| Seveas | !forget flash-also | 10:22 |
| ubotu | I'll forget that, Seveas | 10:22 |
| zetheroo | is there a way that 2 users can share the same home folder? | 10:22 |
| Seveas | zetheroo, no | 10:22 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, what are you really wanting to shre? | 10:23 |
| zetheroo | thats not nice | 10:23 |
| Dr_willis | share. | 10:23 |
| zetheroo | hehe | 10:23 |
| Dr_willis | set the perms. on whtever ya want to let others read/access them | 10:23 |
| zetheroo | I want to make a user for Elisa to work in which will not have Compiz enabled by default.... but I don't want to have to copy all my media over to another users home folder | 10:24 |
| bRoseph_Stalin | help http://en.naughtyholiday.com/?id=ccd96c2a9da025e729843fc43b9bfec8 | 10:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | Seveas: I can't tell from the links ubotu gives. I'm just gonna try and install from the repos and we'll see I guess. | 10:24 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, just set up the perms to allow access to the files. and link the dirs/files to the other users homedir. | 10:24 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: how do you change the permissions to make that happen? | 10:25 |
| Dr_willis | chmod command, | 10:25 |
| Dr_willis | what mode to use depends on what you want to allow. | 10:25 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: can I do it graphically with gksudo nautilus? | 10:26 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, no idea. its easier to just use chmod. :) | 10:26 |
| Seveas | zetheroo, yes, but that's scary :) | 10:26 |
| Dr_willis | you dont need to set your USERS file permissions with sudo | 10:26 |
| zetheroo | Seveas: why? | 10:26 |
| zetheroo | I dunno the chmod commands | 10:26 |
| Dr_willis | time to learn them I think. :) | 10:27 |
| Dr_willis | you could set the permissions on the users files with Nautilus if you want. No need to use the gksudo | 10:27 |
| un0p | zetheroo, it works with nautilus - but you have to be very careful | 10:27 |
| family | hey im back again im trying to find out how set up http hosting | 10:28 |
| family | with linux i know i need to forward http but what software might we have for this | 10:28 |
| zetheroo | un0p: I am gksudo nautilus and I have gone into the properties of the folder I want to share with the other user | 10:28 |
| Seveas | !lamp | family | 10:28 |
| ubotu | family: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 10:28 |
| zetheroo | un0p: what shoudl I change to allow it? | 10:29 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, if your user is setting the permissions for their own files. You do not need to use gksudo. | 10:29 |
| family | thank you seveas | 10:29 |
| ompaul | zetheroo, if Seveas advises something is "scarey" then my advise is "don't" | 10:29 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, also the permissions for all the directories in the path to your shared directory need allow the other users in. | 10:29 |
| un0p | zetheroo, you'll have to setup a group that you and the other person are members of, and then give that group permissions over that folder | 10:29 |
| augustao | hey | 10:29 |
| Seveas | ompaul, humbug -- I'm easily scared :) | 10:29 |
| augustao | have you guys heard of buck angel? | 10:29 |
| ompaul | Seveas, ehhhhhhhhh liar | 10:30 |
| Dr_willis | groups is another way like un0p said. But i rarely mess with groups for my 2 user systems. :) | 10:30 |
| zetheroo | un0p: ok so I need to make a new group | 10:30 |
| Seveas | augustao, this is a support channel, not a social channel | 10:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | seveas nope. Flash still busted. | 10:30 |
| augustao | wut | 10:30 |
| Seveas | ArthurArchnix, k | 10:30 |
| un0p | zetheroo, firstly yes | 10:30 |
| Seveas | !unforget flash-also | 10:30 |
| ubotu | I suddenly remember flash-also again, Seveas | 10:30 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: I also have only 2 users | 10:30 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, then chmod ### /home/firstuser/DirsYouWanttoShare to allow the 2nd user full access to them. | 10:31 |
| chazco | How difficult is it to merge my apt archive with the liveCD? Would like to avoid the massive update download every time I install | 10:31 |
| Dr_willis | ### will depend on wha tyou want to allow them to do. | 10:31 |
| === Switch^_ is now known as Switch^ | ||
| un0p | chazco, your apt archive might not fit onto a live CD eh | 10:31 |
| travisat | !aptoncd | 10:31 |
| ubotu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 10:32 |
| travisat | close as you might get | 10:32 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, full access = 666 for files and 777 for dirs - I belive | 10:32 |
| chazco | Hmm... aptoncd sounds similar to what i've done so far (memory stick)... I'd hope it might fit on the livecd since most packages are replaced, not duplicated... | 10:32 |
| ffiarpg | I used the instructions on this website (http://lifehacker.com/software/how-to/set-up-vnc-on-ubuntu-in-four-steps-317125.php) to setup VNC so I could access my linux computer with my windows computer. Can anyone forsee any reason that the connection would be so slow over a home network? I get better speeds remote accessing my windows computer over my cable internet connection. | 10:32 |
| bjames | can someone tell me if there is a way to increase mouse sensitivity beyond that available via the GUI (i.e. is there a multiplier value in my xort.conf file somewhere)? | 10:32 |
| zetheroo | un0p: ok I created a group called media and added both users.... | 10:33 |
| un0p | bjames, check - man xset | 10:33 |
| bjames | un0p: cheers | 10:33 |
| un0p | zetheroo, ok, now give media permissions over that folder | 10:33 |
| pewpewpew | whow. Screen Resolutions.. I shut my computer down yesterday and it was running on 1600x1200 since i set ubuntu up - today, suddenly... 1024x800 is the highest possible (and used) | 10:33 |
| travisat | chazco: you might look at http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ | 10:33 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: which user shoudl I be logged into? | 10:33 |
| Dr_willis | zetheroo, the one who owns the files. | 10:34 |
| chazco | travisat - Looks interesting... even if i can make a livecd I could possible do an alternate one (GUI isnt too important) | 10:34 |
| Dr_willis | since the OTHER user cant change the first users permissions. | 10:35 |
| travisat | chazco: I have no idea, just bored and was on google | 10:35 |
| chazco | heh :) | 10:35 |
| zetheroo | Dr_willis: ok ... well if this group method does not work I will try your method | 10:36 |
| un0p | Dr_willis, i think he'd need to be root - dont think his $USER can chgrp of another folder | 10:36 |
| odysseas | When installing tvtime it creates .tvtime folders for the normal users but with root as owner and group, should I report that as a bug? | 10:36 |
| travisat | chazco: the only problem is after a week or so your new cd would be out of date and you would have to update a lot anyway, less then you would, but still a bit | 10:36 |
| Dr_willis | un0p, hes not messing with the group. just the permissions. | 10:36 |
| un0p | Dr_willis, if you are following, he seems to be going the group route | 10:37 |
| chazco | travisat - Even a bit better would do... currently I have to download ~200MB of updates each time... in the UK thats a lot :( | 10:37 |
| Dr_willis | groups is proberly the more 'secure' of the way of doing this. :) | 10:37 |
| Dr_willis | but i never use groups this way. so good luck | 10:37 |
| travisat | chazco: I suggest the aptoncd then you can put all you want on cds and update off of cds once ubuntu is installed | 10:37 |
| travisat | much easier and probably better too | 10:37 |
| DanHerg | Cool Dating Club site ===> new-datingclub.eu | 10:38 |
| chazco | travisat - Yep, doing similar currently with a USB copy+paste approach (simple, but it works)... was just hoping to eliminate the extra stage | 10:38 |
| un0p | Dr_willis, in my experience groups work best in these situations - that way either user can have complete access over the directory's contents | 10:38 |
| Dr_willis | DanHerg, and we care why? | 10:38 |
| travisat | chazco: well it still beats downloading the stuff if you got a slow net connection | 10:38 |
| chazco | Its not slow as such... but the UK has (usually) download caps... e.g. 10GB a month | 10:39 |
| un0p | chazco, get a "real" isp :) | 10:39 |
| chazco | un0p - Almost all UK ISP's are like that | 10:39 |
| Seveas | chazco, move to a "real" country :p | 10:40 |
| chazco | :) | 10:40 |
| un0p | chazco, mine ain't tho -- and if i ever were to subscribe to another's services, i'd ensure i had unlimited access -- 10GB isnt enough a day, let alone a month | 10:40 |
| chazco | un0p - Country and ISP? | 10:40 |
| un0p | chazco, uk, virgin media (used to be blueyonder/telewest) | 10:41 |
| chazco | Ah cable... cable isnt available for most of the UK | 10:41 |
| un0p | chazco, errm, it's available in most towns and cities -- but even with DSL, plenty of ISPs willing to give you unlimited access | 10:42 |
| chazco | un0p - It isnt, you'd really be surprised :) And very few DSL subscribers offer anything near unlimited (check out their FUPs as well)... anyway, bit off topic :) | 10:42 |
| un0p | chazco, if you're willing to look for the ones that have uncapped services, you'll find them easy enough - but yea, this is getting !ot | 10:43 |

| xalanthyr | it says: "mount: Not a directory"... | 10:52 |

| linxeh | dn4: my experiences are that it is better (generally) to use a virtual machine with windows if you want to use IE. The chances are you want to use IE to see how pages look in that browser, but if you run on linux you are delegating lots of the rendering to underlying Wine components - which aren't necessarily going to render the same as on Windows | 12:11 |
| roddersg | agreed, but someone told me that I would get better performance if I chose the correct processor K7 or K8 (am downshifting from amd64) | 12:12 |

| ubuntu | :-( | 12:50 |
| levander | ubuntu: Once the hardware has been recognized, detecting the networks available to the network card will be no problem. | 12:50 |
| un0p | ubuntu, it's likely that the card is supported -- do you know the make of the wireless card? | 12:50 |
| levander | ubuntu: Search ubuntuforums.org for someone using your same WiFi card maybe. | 12:50 |
| peabody | ubuntu: depends on the card, if it wasn't automagically configured, there's still hope, but you may have to resort to using a piece of software called ndiswrapper | 12:50 |
| DRebellion | levander: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 12:51 |
| DRebellion | levander: then, wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update | 12:51 |
| peabody | ubuntu: ndiswrapper allows one to use the windows drivers for the card in Linux. It's an interesting piece of magic. | 12:51 |
| DRebellion | levander: assuming you're running gutsy of course | 12:51 |
| un0p | ubuntu, you could have a gander here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 12:51 |

| Kalidarn | just a quick question, does ubuntu/kubuntu/xubuntu install the whole desktop now? originally back when i used it in versions 5.04 and 5.10 you could only install a server install or a complete install. | 13:02 |
| unop | rootborn, is BTVOYAGER2091-4E your wireless network? | 13:02 |
| rootborn | yes | 13:02 |
| filthpig | Any tips on how to convert flac to mp3? | 13:02 |
| Kalidarn | does the ubuntu installer now allow for modular instalations like say SUSE or Fedora? | 13:02 |
| unop | rootborn, looks good -- try using the network manager to connect to it - i guess you know that is done | 13:02 |
| unop | Kalidarn, what do you mean exactly? | 13:03 |
| rootborn | unop, hmm din't think it will work, i still have that red light on | 13:03 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: have you got the back end set up? you need help configuring the front end? is this mythbuntu or something else--have you first read all the documentation? | 13:04 |

| wyclif | hey shocker | 13:04 |
| shocker | hi wyclif | 13:05 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: it is myth-tv from sudo apt-get install... and i have tried to access the config but it just kicks me out | 13:05 |
| rootborn | un0p, I cann't configure it | 13:05 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: what about all my other questions? | 13:05 |
| neopsyche | backend | 13:06 |
| neopsyche | hmm | 13:06 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: backend .. not sure | 13:06 |
| rootborn | un0p, i don't know why I got eth1 as someting else when it is wireless | 13:07 |
| Kalidarn | un0p: what i mean is am i able to choose what i want installed during the installation | 13:07 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: mythtv is not something of a few moments installation--it is actually quite complex--you should read all the documentation; if you are not sure what a back end and a front end then there is no way to tell you here | 13:07 |
| Kalidarn | when i use something like Kubuntu or Ubuntu do i get a heap of packages i might not use | 13:07 |
| Kalidarn | can i install them as i choose? | 13:07 |

| Seveas | Kalidarn, you can remove whatever you want :) | 13:08 |
| Kalidarn | packages like ubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop xubuntu-desktop used to pull in all of the desktop environment | 13:08 |
| rootborn | to see how it work and I will put ubuntu then again | 13:08 |
| wyclif | Kalidarn for those issues i recommend looking into aptitude, reading the docs, and installing it to manage your packages and clean unused dependencies | 13:08 |
| Kalidarn | Seveas: yes but the issue was the next dist-upgrade would pull it back in | 13:08 |
| Seveas | Kalidarn, not anymore | 13:08 |
| Kalidarn | ah so you can do light installs now Seveas? | 13:09 |
| Seveas | Kalidarn, many things are now Recommends: instead of Depends: | 13:09 |
| Kalidarn | right | 13:09 |
| Seveas | no, the install is still heavy-ish, but it's easier to remove | 13:09 |
| shocker | wyclif: any hint about that netstat -p report? | 13:09 |

| bazhang | english ansque | 13:44 |
| bazhang | yes Ronald | 13:44 |

| rootborn | un_op, cos I don't know how to do it .. | 13:44 |
| kliklik | samad909, it's a laptop, no option for second harddrive.. I'll try installing windows through qemu, giving it a partition i've assigned as a single disk. than I'll muck around with the grub and boot.ini and try to make it work native .) | 13:44 |
| un_op | rootborn, eesh, you should make notes for your reference -- you might need it later | 13:45 |
| samad909 | kliklik: alright best of luck ;) | 13:45 |
| un_op | rootborn, sudo modprobe iwl3945 | 13:45 |
| samad909 | kliklik: dont forget to make that disk bootable | 13:45 |
| un_op | rootborn, that installs the module for your wlan interface | 13:45 |
| rootborn | un_op, its fine | 13:45 |
| un_op | rootborn, check the output of dmesg to see if the card has been loaded - dmesg | tail -n 10 | 13:46 |

| un_op | rootborn, if you see it has been loaded - check that the interface is loaded ok - sudo ifconfig -a | 13:47 |
| kliklik | samad909, it's just puzzling that windows sees no partitions. I've used msdos disklabel when creating them and they are all primary | 13:47 |
| un_op | rootborn, if you see the interface - check if it can scan wireless networks - sudo iwlist scan | 13:47 |
| rootborn | http://pastebin.ca/874778 | 13:47 |
| rootborn | eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning. | 13:48 |

| samad909 | kliklik: maybe try gparted live cd and see what is up, if something is wrong resize and then make another bootable partition and install xp on that | 13:48 |
| hui | hallo? | 13:48 |
| un_op | rootborn, try and bring the interface up - sudo ifup wlan0 | 13:48 |

| joe_ | jrib: nagraedit5.2, jkeys, WinExplorer, RomExplorer | 13:52 |
| ompaul | teodra, I know not suse - I guess you want a program like "krdc" is it useful you should really look at the application in that and then install the same | 13:53 |
| flats | Ok simple linux newbie help. I have two drives in my system. sda main boot drive, sdb drive I just set up in Gparted with ext3 filesystem. I need to add sdb to fstab. I created a mount part called /media/storage . How do I add that to my fstab so it loads on boot. ( I also did chmod 777 on the /media/storage) | 13:53 |
| un_op | !fstab | flats | 13:53 |
| bardyr | kate__, get hardy, it has 2.6.24 :D | 13:53 |
| ubotu | flats: 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 | 13:53 |
| kate__ | bardyr, it's too early in the dev stage... | 13:53 |
| bardyr | kate__, or do a dmesg, the driver is probably complaining about missing firmware | 13:54 |
| kate__ | bardyr, I've done it... no mention of "3945" in dmesg | 13:54 |
| bardyr | kate__, alpha4 is out in a couple of days, most major things are done | 13:54 |
| teodra | clear | 13:54 |
| kate__ | bardyr, is it stable enough for everyday work? | 13:55 |
| jrib | joe_: your best bet is to look for native linux alternatives, and I don't know what any of those apps are except maybe WinExplorer. Do you just mean windows explorer, the file manager, there? | 13:55 |
| teodra | ompaul, i like something like vncviewer but on web.. try 5555.dyndns.org:5801 | 13:55 |
| RequinB5 | Testing (fixed?) pidgin | 13:55 |
| bardyr | kate__, i have not had any major problem with it and i use it for production usage, but its and alpha | 13:55 |
| kate__ | bardyr, ok, thanks | 13:56 |

| wyclif | Kheops_74 just ask! | 14:15 |

| jrib | abhi: well, the man page and home page for xbindkeys have decent docs. You can see an example xbdindkeys at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MX1000Mouse and modify it appropriately for your mouse. Use 'xev' to figure out the button numbers for the buttons on your mouse | 14:19 |

| elbermungsterses | jrib: one example is that i open up Nautilus and go to my home directory. then i try to rename my "wireless-key" file to "test" and it will not let me backspace or anything. | 14:21 |
| jrib | Kheops_74: because, if it's an ubuntu support issue, resolve it here so that everyone can help and everyone can benefit. If it's a windows issue, use ##windows. If you think it's about virtualbox, try #vbox | 14:22 |

| fibbs | any ideas? | 14:23 |
| jrib | elbermungsterses: ok, what is the output of 'ls -ld ~/wireless-key'? | 14:23 |

| ubotu | hmpf|away: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users.

See also !Guidelines | 14:28 |

| piercleo | I am having a problem reading NBA videos. Just did a clean Gutsy 7.10 AMD64 Install + installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package + enabled medibuntu repo + installed non free codecs package. Any idea what I am missing ? Any help greatly appreciated, have been searching on the forum over 6 hours, tried many different things and no succes whatsoever, am very sad ! | 14:45 |
| synth | ah I see the bot now | 14:45 |
| synth | thanks sir | 14:45 |
| bazhang | much quicker Stephen-Mason; also apt-cache search name will yiled results for something you may want in the repos | 14:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercleo: flash? | 14:45 |
| bazhang | yield even | 14:45 |
| piercleo | yup, all good | 14:45 |
| piercleo | it's installed and working fine, didn't use the one in the repo, followed the forum guide | 14:46 |
| Ronald | Restating here cus #kubuntu-kde4 seems dorment: Running gutsy (gnome variant of it), trying to install parley-kde4 from gutsy-pbackports.

| fibbs | nothing helped | 14:46 |
| fibbs | i now recreated the user... | 14:46 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm just pulled the mmc card from my camera and plugged it in...it mounts as vfat | 14:46 |
| fibbs | and copied over all but .gconf | 14:46 |
| fibbs | now it works | 14:46 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm you might just have a corrupted card and need to reformat | 14:46 |
| Yonie | hey guys, I want to do a programing course, i was thinking of doing my MCSD, but i thought maybe i should do a linux language... does anyone know any good programing courses to do? | 14:47 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: that would be most inconvenient | 14:47 |
| vidsan | Beagle or trckerd? | 14:47 |
| piercleo | IndyGunFreak: am i missing a codec or something ? | 14:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercleo: looking, hang on | 14:47 |
| piercleo | IndyGunFreak: thank you very much | 14:47 |
| bazhang | www.diveintopython.org Yonie | 14:48 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm I can pastebin the mount options if you like | 14:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercleo: is it telling you you n eed a plugin, or is it just blank? | 14:48 |
| bazhang | Ronald: best to wait for folks to wake up there | 14:48 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: no, it looks like i've tested them exhaustively | 14:49 |
| piercleo | IndyGunFreak: just blank on wat.tv and on nba it freezes on first image | 14:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 14:49 |
| Stephen-Mason | woo its installing im a pro, :P | 14:49 |
| Seveas | bazhang, apt-get install diveintopython :) | 14:49 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: how does one force mount? | 14:49 |
| bazhang | Seveas: oops! | 14:49 |
| ompaul | Seveas, sudo apt-get isntall diveintopython | 14:49 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm I don't think you can force mount...never heard of it being done. | 14:49 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: hmn, going to try another comp | 14:50 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm my card did mount as /dev/mmcblk0p1 just as you said...never noticed that before | 14:50 |
| Yonie | bazhang, would u rather do Python or c# or c++? | 14:50 |
| kmg | why are all my sources timing out when i do apt-get update ? | 14:50 |
| bazhang | Yonie: best to ask Seveas :] | 14:50 |
| Seveas | python of course :) | 14:51 |
| Yonie | cool :) thanks | 14:51 |
| Stephen-Mason | hey i installed azureus but i done know how to use it to open a torrent? | 14:52 |
| Stephen-Mason | where would it be installed to? | 14:53 |
| bazhang | Stephen-Mason: open the client azureues | 14:53 |
| Yonie | Seveas, dont u think c++ is better tho? | 14:53 |
| Seveas | Yonie, no | 14:54 |
| Seveas | C++ is a spawn of the devil | 14:54 |
| smallfoot- | i downloaded ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso, is there no i686 version? | 14:54 |

| IndyGunFreak | piercleo: yes... i actually got the advertisement to play, but not the video..... thats iinda wierd. | 14:56 |

| dooglus | where can I find the ubuntu package signing key for feisty? | 14:56 |
| BadRobot | hi | 14:56 |
| smallfoot- | i downloaded ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso, is there no i686 version? | 14:56 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: dreamlinux beta 3 | 14:56 |
| BadRobot | :-D | 14:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: what about it?.. ive got the CD here, but not messed w/ it much | 14:57 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm I assume the card came from a camera and contains pictures...can you plug the camera itself into the computer and maybe mount the card that way? | 14:57 |
| piercleo | IndyGunFreak: i use to run 32b and this would happen on certain videos, but at least i got most videos to work, now that am 64b none charges. | 14:57 |
| Seveas | dooglus, in /etc/apt/ :) | 14:57 |
| Stephen-Mason | dur, lol sorry lol | 14:57 |
| bazhang | err 3 beta sorry | 14:57 |
| dooglus | Seveas: I just installed a feisty chroot. I need the signing key. | 14:57 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm I would just want to exhaust ALL options before condemning the pictures to obscurity forever | 14:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercleo: 64bit has its disadvantages in the multimedia issues. | 14:57 |
| Seveas | dooglus, ubuntu-keyring package iirc | 14:57 |
| ompaul | th0r, always useful if the device does not show up to move usb ports ... it works sometimes | 14:58 |
| BadRobot | http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ | 14:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | bazhang: did you download it? | 14:58 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: in fact no. it's a small disk that i was being used as a cryptographic token. it contains encryption keys to a defunct server | 14:58 |
| bentob0x | how do you send a popup message to another user on the same machine? | 14:58 |
| th0r | ompaul not usb...an mmc card | 14:58 |
| bentob0x | like net send on windows | 14:58 |
| Seveas | bentob0x, install a messenger program for both | 14:58 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm then maybe the whole card is encrypted? | 14:58 |
| bentob0x | I'm looking more like a warning message | 14:59 |
| bentob0x | quick popup thing | 14:59 |
| bazhang | IndyGunFreak: yesh | 14:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | its not bad. | 14:59 |
| vidsan | Hi all again! Having trackerd-problems. Getting IO error when trying to run. | 14:59 |
| bazhang | Stephen-Mason: you find it? | 14:59 |
| bazhang | agreed | 14:59 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: well, that would be rather dastardly, i was assuming that it just contained encryption keys in plaintext. but if it's encrypted... | 14:59 |
| Seveas | bentob0x, fortunately ubuntu doesn't do such annoying things :) | 14:59 |
| bentob0x | hehe | 14:59 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | geez no1 is answering me in that windows room | 14:59 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | lol | 15:00 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm just a guess. like I said...I would want to exhaust all options before giving up and reformatting it | 15:00 |
| bentob0x | how does root warn users that the machine needs to restart? | 15:00 |
| johnathon | metal maniac mat wat was the room? | 15:00 |
| Seveas | he does not :) | 15:00 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: actually, you may be right. looking through the mounting files, it looks like one of them mounts something into the directory where the other ones look for their keys. i'd ignored it before. the plot thickens | 15:00 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | Windows | 15:00 |
| Seveas | they'll notice =) | 15:00 |
| ompaul | Metal-Maniac-Mat, this is not a casual chat room, it is strictly for Ubuntu support | 15:00 |
| bentob0x | k | 15:00 |
| dooglus | Seveas: right, thanks. "sudo apt-key add /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg" did the trick. | 15:00 |
| bazhang | Stephen-Mason: you may want to try something better than azureus; deluge transmission even utorrent under wine are better imo | 15:00 |
| piercle1 | IndyGunFreak: am back had connection pb | 15:00 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | i know ompaul | 15:00 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm sometimes I get lucky <smile> | 15:00 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | i need help | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | bentob0x: shutdown -r +5min | 15:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercle1: ok, gonna try one more thing | 15:01 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | and you sent me there and i got no help | 15:01 |
| bentob0x | k thx guys | 15:01 |
| bazhang | www.ubuntu.com metal and then we can talk | 15:01 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: well, most convenient, considering the mount of work that i have already expent trying to get the data off this thin | 15:01 |
| bazhang | oh too late | 15:01 |
| erUSUL | bentob0x: that will send notice to all users that the system is going to restart in five minutes and will actually restart the computer ;) | 15:01 |
| snador | blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat | 15:02 |
| askand | My wireless bluetoothmouse is very sluggish..why can that be? | 15:02 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm is there the possibility to take it back to where you were using it and get the keys off it from there? maybe put them in a shared folder...or just copy them to an unencrypted usb drive? | 15:02 |
| unop | bentob0x, root can use "wall" to advertise to all users that he's about to do something | 15:02 |
| Stephen-Mason | what is the equivalent command for ipconfig? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | ifconfig | 15:03 |
| Stephen-Mason | lol kl | 15:03 |
| Seveas | unop, erUSUL: that only works for terminals, not X sessions... | 15:03 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: that's what it looks like i have to do. mind if i message you the details, they'd clutter the channel a little? | 15:03 |
| erUSUL | Stephen-Mason: ifconfig or the "all powerfull and also cryptic" ip | 15:03 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm not registered...no pm. good luck | 15:03 |
| pawan | hello | 15:03 |
| unop | Seveas, errm, yes, i'm aware :) | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | Seveas: i long for the good old VT102 days ;) | 15:04 |
| Gpalco | Hallo, I did something to Xubuntu settings that ""xfce4-session"" stopped loading by default. I have to start it manually. How can I make it load automatically. What do I use for that ?????? | 15:04 |
| ompaul | Gpalco, have a chat in #xubuntu they know more about that | 15:04 |
| kmg | why are all my sources timing out when i do apt-get update ? | 15:05 |
| Gpalco | ompaul, I wished they would also be more active as well | 15:05 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: in a nutshell, then, this is a windows system that looks like it has an array which was encrypted using a program called truecrypt. the data disks were mounted using some batch files. the start of one of them seems to create the fs for the others. however, the key neccessary to decrypt *this* disk is sadly absent :( | 15:05 |
| ompaul | Gpalco, well they are there at times that suit them, just like the gnome heads here | 15:05 |
| smallfoot- | they should make ubuntu for i686, nobody have i386 anymore | 15:05 |
| Stephen-Mason | my nat is firewalled? been having this problem for ages can anyone help? | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | kmg: problems on the mirror you are using? | 15:06 |
| ompaul | smallfoot-, the right kernel is loaded after that - you got to understand you start somewhere and move forward from there | 15:06 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm I am familiar with truecrypt...there is a version for linux as well and the files are interchangable...I used to use it but switched to linux only encfs | 15:06 |
| Seveas | smallfoot-, ubuntu is actually i586 since there still are processors which lack the cmov instruction | 15:06 |
| kmg | erUSUL: it's like every single one | 15:06 |
| erUSUL | Stephen-Mason: nat firwalled does not parse for me. Can you explain it a little more? | 15:06 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm if you know the passphrase it should be possible to mount the partitions from within linux | 15:07 |
| Switch^ | can you run .pl files with sh? | 15:07 |
| l3ttuc3 | i keep getting messages like so in my kern.log and syslog: Jan 27 18:55:33 laptop kernel: [ 781.860000] Unknown OutputIN= OUT=vmnet1 SRC=172.16.78.1 DST=172.16.78.255 LEN=258 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=138 DPT=138 LEN=238 | 15:07 |

| Seveas | you run them with perl | 15:07 |
| bazhang | Stephen-Mason: www.portforward.com | 15:07 |
| Switch^ | thanks Seveas | 15:07 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, that's iptables logging packets | 15:07 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: indeed, i have managed to get it installed on the livecd with which i am performing the recovery. however, it doesn't look like there was a passphrase at all | 15:07 |
| wessel | @Seveas: bl | 15:07 |
| wessel | Seveas: al | 15:07 |
| l3ttuc3 | i get loads, and loads of them, and every now and then, usually, when im not at my pc, it will lock up, and last time it remounted its root filesystem as readonly. | 15:07 |
| Gpalco | ompaul, what wouild you do if "gnome-session" wasn't starting automatically?? Where automatically started progs are listed ??? It should be simmilar in Xfce | 15:07 |
| fragged | Where are ubuntu binaries kept on the local system after install etc? | 15:07 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: according to this, there were just a bunch of keys for the various disks | 15:07 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas i know, but why is is logging those? | 15:07 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, because you told it to :) | 15:08 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, iptables -L -n | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | l3ttuc3: some firewall script/program has enabled it | 15:08 |
| phenom | ompaul, Out of curiosity, you really felt Metal-Maniac-Mat's concerns warranted a ban? | 15:08 |
| ompaul | Gpalco, sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm or (and I think xubuntu uses that also) | 15:08 |
| phenom | ompaul, I think you jumped the gun. | 15:08 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm right...forgot about that. You can create a keyfile for a volume instead of usng a passphrase...then you have to have that key to get in again. | 15:08 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas i haven't messed with that. erUSUL i am using firestarter. hmm. | 15:08 |
| bazhang | offtopic phenom | 15:08 |
| unop | Seveas, bentob0x, erUSUL - DISPLAY=:0.0 zenity --info --text="Computer will shutdown in 5 minutes" && sudo shutdown -r +5m | 15:08 |
| erUSUL | l3ttuc3: maybe you can disable packet login in firestarter | 15:09 |

| Gpalco | ompaul, thank you. that's a great idea. thank you | 15:09 |
| === osxdude|mac is now known as osxdude | ||
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas, erUSUL would that have anything to do with the lock-ups? | 15:09 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: and it seems that the keys for the volumes were on this disk, but that this disk *itself* was encrypted with another key | 15:09 |
| Seveas | unop, won't work -- mismatching X cookies :) | 15:09 |
| l3ttuc3 | i doubt it, but i cant see anything else out of place in the logs. | 15:09 |
| === orgthingy is now known as orgthingy|AFK | ||
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, neh, that shouldn't cause lockups | 15:09 |
| vkong | could someone tell me how to copy and paste in the terminal as Ctrl+c & Ctrl +v | 15:09 |
| Seveas | vkong, <ctrl><shift>c and <ctrl><shift>v | 15:10 |
| bentob0x | it's shift + insert vkong | 15:10 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm gotcha...seems the only way is going to be to mount that card in the old way and copy the keyfiles off onto something not encrypted. Sometimes one can be too secure <smiel> | 15:10 |
| bentob0x | for pasting anyway | 15:10 |
| alsadk | where firefox put the files that has been downloded? | 15:10 |

| patogen | Are there more cpu optimized like swiftweasel available? | 15:11 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: but first i need to find the key that was used to ecrypt *it* | 15:11 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas there does not appear to be any option inside firestarter's gui to disable logging. | 15:11 |
| Seveas | fragged, /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/games | 15:11 |
| fragged | Seveas, I mean the .deb binaries, coming from a gentoo background ;) | 15:11 |

| th0r | StrangeCharm ouch | 15:11 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, I don't know how firestarter works, I always cook my own rules | 15:11 |
| alsadk | where firefox put the temp files? | 15:11 |
| Seveas | fragged, /var/cache/apt/archives | 15:11 |
| Seveas | alsadk, /tmp | 15:11 |
| fragged | cheers | 15:11 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: more annoyingly, it seems to be referenced somewhere on the system disk where there *aren't* any directories | 15:12 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: fail :( | 15:12 |
| vboxer | hi, anyone know why I get 2 mouse pointers when connecting to VirtualBox via VRDP with rdesktop? It shows both the host-OS pointer and the guest-OS | 15:12 |

| alsadk | but i can't find them there after download a file | 15:12 |
| alsadk | ? | 15:12 |
| Metal-Maniac-Mat | err i had problems with irtualbox | 15:12 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas ok, im assuming if i purge 'firestarter' the rules will still be in place, and this behaviour will still go on, im thinking it's just a frontend for iptables? i also have two interfaces, ath0 and wifi0, both seem to receive and send packets, what's up with that? | 15:12 |
| Seveas | alsadk, it deletes them when you close firefox :) | 15:13 |
| Stephen-Mason | ive forwarded my ports but its still messed up, :@ | 15:13 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, after a reboot (or iptables -F) the rules should be gone | 15:13 |
| th0r | StrangeCharm sounds like you are running out of options....sorry | 15:13 |
| Seveas | ath0/wifi0 is atheros' twisted way of doing advanced wifi tricks | 15:13 |
| gurpreet | synaptic is telling me that some packages are not authenticated. how can i fix this? | 15:13 |
| snikker | i've got some trouble to run vmware (libpng12 error) after the update of some packages, i'm under gutsy on amd64 | 15:13 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: no, i think i may just have missed another system disk in this pile | 15:13 |
| bazhang | Stephen-Mason: not really an ubuntu question; you may want to try transmission which obviates the need for port forwarding | 15:13 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, don't use 3rd party repos :) | 15:14 |
| Stephen-Mason | cool, no problem i think ive sorted it | 15:14 |
| Stephen-Mason | ma isp are bastards tho | 15:14 |
| Stephen-Mason | lol | 15:14 |

| Seveas | gurpreet, pastebin your complete sources.list | 15:14 |
| ompaul | Stephen-Mason, please check the messages from ubotu | 15:14 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: well, that is why i play this game | 15:15 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas ok, i'll purge and get rid of the rules. i dunno about twisted tricks, but i keep having a trickle in of packets about 800bytes/sec (gnome system monitor) that i cannot capture with iptraf. and wifi0 does not even come up in iptraf. is that normal behaviour? | 15:15 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, yes it is | 15:15 |

| Seveas | l3ttuc3, iirc iptables -F isn't enough, You'll need to reset policies and delete chains | 15:16 |
| StrangeCharm | th0r: unlikely. it seems that there's another disk on here that isn't being mounted, but also isn't part of the array. i may cry | 15:16 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas how do i do that? | 15:16 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, easiest solution is a reboot :) | 15:16 |

| nerous | need some help with installing flash player in Firefox | 15:18 |
| alsadk | any one have a website address for a free ubuntu mag ? | 15:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | !flashissue | nerous | 15:18 |
| ubotu | nerous: 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. | 15:18 |
| nerous | ok thanks | 15:18 |
| Seveas | alsadk, fridge.ubuntu.com | 15:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | nerous: but its a lot easier to just download the source from adobe.com | 15:18 |
| nerous | Oh yeah? | 15:18 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: you can use it as a "disk" refering it as /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca ?? | 15:19 |
| alsadk | thank u | 15:19 |
| chazco | hmm... they've still not fixed flash? | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | nerous: i think so.. | 15:19 |
| nerous | i have downloaded it, i tried to install it and i couldnt | 15:19 |
| Stephen-Mason | difference between rtm and tar? | 15:19 |
| MasterAslan | hello everyone, question: I can boot fine and my wireless works fine when I run in roaming mode with ndiswrapper (using gutsy). However if I turn off roaming mode and set up a static IP I can still use the net until I reboot and then boot hangs on 'configuring network devices' I want to use a static IP automatically on start. Any ideas? | 15:19 |
| chazco | Pity, will need to manually install that then... thought it had worked | 15:19 |
| nerous | every time i install it thru firefox it tells me its installed, but it doesnt work | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | nerous: ok, did you extract the tar file, so the linux_flash_player folder is on your desktop? | 15:19 |
| RantingHuman | Hmmm. I have an NTFS partition mounted in Ubuntu, and I want to change its permissions (allow read-only for "Others")... chmod and chown don't seem to work. Any ideas? | 15:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | nerous: yes, thats because the plugin installer is broken | 15:19 |
| piercle1 | nerous: i did this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 and it worked perfectly | 15:20 |
| alsadk | any one have a website address for a free ubuntu wallpapers with cc license ? | 15:20 |
| broken | omfg | 15:20 |
| broken | im changing my nick | 15:20 |
| th0r | RantingHuman I think you have to do that when you mount it...in the fstab options | 15:20 |

| baadnewz | erUSUL im a lillte noob how can i find that out | 15:21 |
| StrangeCharm | how do i search a directory including subdirectories? | 15:21 |
| Dante123 | Hi all. How do I create a launcher that switches to a directory and then runs a command? Sorry to be such a noob on this...but I just cant seem to get the syntax right. Here is what I want to do...change to directory "cod" then run "wine cod" | 15:21 |
| piercle1 | IndyGunFreak: good thing to know for next time i have a similar problem | 15:21 |
| chazco | I tried to explain that you can install from Adobe, but was told not to tell people to do it that way... there may be a reason, no idea | 15:21 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: is the raid array partitioned or used in any way? | 15:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercle1: i never got the nba videos to work, strange, the advertisements played perfectly, just not the actual videos. | 15:21 |
| Dante123 | Here is what I want to do...change to directory "cod" then run "wine cod" | 15:21 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, yes the raid is used on windows] | 15:21 |
| kmg | why are all my sources timing out when i do apt-get update ? | 15:21 |
| baadnewz | has information already on it | 15:21 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, alright, could you tell me the exact umask for allowing "Others" access it while allowing rwx for User and Group? | 15:21 |
| baadnewz | root@b0x:/dev/mapper# ls | 15:21 |
| baadnewz | control nvidia_bbghcaca | 15:21 |
| DuClare | Dante123, cd cod; wine cod | 15:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercle1: videos on MLB, espn, NFL.com, NHL, etc, all work fine, good thing i don't like the NBA>..lol | 15:21 |
| Seveas | Dante123, make it run this: sh -c "cd cod ; wine cod" | 15:22 |
| ompaul | Dante123, please don't repeat; and as DuClare said ;-) | 15:22 |
| piercle1 | IndyGunFreak: it's really anoying, it used to work, do you recommend going back to 32bit? | 15:22 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, sorry, i am not using any 3rd party repos | 15:22 |
| Seveas | IndyGunFreak, :P | 15:22 |
| Dante123 | DuClare do I simply put that command in the area under properties for the launcher to do that? | 15:22 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, and yes is partition 1 partion ntfs | 15:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Seveas: :) | 15:22 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: in linux disks are accessed thrugh a special file under dev in your case the array should be accessibel throug "/dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca" | 15:22 |
| th0r | RantingHuman the mask (assuming e'x'exute as well...would be 774 | 15:22 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, pastebin your complete sources.list | 15:22 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, roger that | 15:22 |
| th0r | RantingHuman would give read only to the world...but rwx to user and group | 15:22 |
| ompaul | gurpreet, post your /etc/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 15:23 |
| DuClare | Dante123, Don't know your launhcer, try sh as Seveas said. Do you have to cd? I mean, couldn't you just wine cod/cod.exe? | 15:23 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: check if the file exists... "ls -al /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca*" on a terminal | 15:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | piercle1: only you can decide that..., i didnt like jumping through the multimedia hoops of 64bit, so i went back to 32bit. | 15:23 |
| piercle1 | IndyGunFreak: Seveas why am i not laughing ? :-D | 15:23 |
| ompaul | gurpreet, woops post your /etc/apt/sources.list in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 15:23 |
| Dante123 | Seveas: what if the program is on a different drive sda2? | 15:23 |
| un0p | RantingHuman, ntfs (atleast via ntfs-3g) doesnt understand posix ownership and permissions | 15:23 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: without the quotes | 15:23 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, thanks :) but, isn't umask usually a bit weird, for eg, 777 in umask is 000? | 15:23 |
| piercle1 | IndyGunFreak: ok, sounds like the best sollution for me too | 15:23 |
| piercle1 | IndyGunFreak: thanks a lot anyway | 15:23 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, root@b0x:/dev/mapper# ls -al /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca* | 15:23 |
| baadnewz | brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 2008-01-27 17:02 /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca | 15:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | np | 15:23 |
| DuClare | Dante123, Doesn't matter whereever the program is as long as you know where it is. Just give the full path. | 15:23 |
| Seveas | Dante123, sh -c "cd /where/its/mounted/cod ; wine cod" | 15:23 |
| th0r | RantingHuman right...so 774 would be 003...but un0p says ntfs doesn't support permissions | 15:24 |
| wadafak | hi all, my gnome terminal is freezing | 15:24 |
| Seveas | wadafak, apt-get install antifreeze | 15:24 |
| wadafak | whenever I type anything, it doesn't respond to it.. | 15:24 |
| un0p | th0r, setting mask options to mount is not the same as supporting permissions -- big difference | 15:25 |
| WorkingOnWise | I have an OS crisis. I need a decent 3d modeling app that is stable in linux. Something not too advanced. I have been using Google SketchUp, but in Linux it is just way to unstable. I could install WinXP and run it native, but I left MS totally 2 months ago now and soooo do not want to go back, for any reason. Any suggestions for a 3d modeling app, commercial or not? | 15:25 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, now i should mount it ? | 15:25 |
| Seveas | wadafak, did you by any chance hit <ctrl>+S ? | 15:25 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, un0p, but doesn't ntfs-3g accept permissions if you mount it with umask in fstab? | 15:25 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: there you go the dev file is there... you want to mount it? | 15:25 |
| Seveas | if so, it'll freeze until you hit <ctrl>+Q | 15:25 |
| slain | hi all | 15:25 |
| wadafak | Seveas: ctrl + S means?? | 15:25 |
| th0r | un0p ok....that's how I got intot his...said he needed to set them in fstab instead of chmod | 15:25 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, yes i want to mount it .. with ntfs-3g | 15:25 |
| DuClare | WorkingOnWise, blender is a great one, although I don't get your "not too advanced" point.. | 15:25 |
| baadnewz | so i can write files on it | 15:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | wadafak: easiest thing to try, would be to try installing another terminal emulator, or reinstalling the one you have. | 15:25 |
| wadafak | Seveas: I am in console now | 15:25 |
| Dante123 | Seveas so does this look right: sh -c /media/sda1/cod ; wine cod.exe | 15:26 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: «sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca» and paste the output to paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 15:26 |
| DuClare | WorkingOnWise, If you're serious about modelling, you're better off learning to use a good application properly. | 15:26 |
| un0p | RantingHuman, yes, but they are only valid for the period of the mount (or as long as the same umask is withstanding) .. the minute that changes, your permissions are lost | 15:26 |
| wadafak | btw, what is causing the "freeze"?? | 15:26 |
| DuClare | Dante123, quotes | 15:26 |
| th0r | RantingHuman that's what I thought...but i am always willing to entertain the idea I am mistaken. thought I was once...but I was wrong\ | 15:26 |
| Seveas | Dante123, sh -c "/media/sda1/cod ; wine cod.exe" -- or probably even better: wine /media/sda1/cod/cod.exe | 15:26 |
| un0p | th0r, he does want mount options (via fstab) .. he cant do a chmod anyway | 15:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | wadafak: so can you not get to a GUI? | 15:26 |
| slain | I am creating a custom ubuntu alternate cd, how do I update the deb files of the custom alternate cd | 15:26 |
| slain | ? | 15:26 |
| DuClare | wadafak, xoff | 15:26 |
| th0r | un0p yup...that's what I thought <smile> | 15:26 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53694/ | 15:27 |
| wadafak | did I missIndyGunFreak: I can, but it's just that gnome terminal doesn't work and I dont want to reboot my computer | 15:27 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, and if possible to add it in fstab | 15:27 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, un0p, that's fine, if it is valid as long as it's mounted.. | 15:27 |
| MasterAslan | I can boot fine and my wireless works fine when I run in roaming mode with ndiswrapper (using gutsy). However if I turn off roaming mode and set up a static IP I can still use the net until I reboot and then boot hangs on 'configuring network devices' I want to use a static IP automatically on start. Any ideas? | 15:28 |
| wadafak | it's something that never happened before | 15:28 |
| un0p | RantingHuman, umask=774 should suffice | 15:28 |
| th0r | RantingHuman far as I know it will be | 15:28 |
| RantingHuman | un0p, not 003? | 15:28 |
| wadafak | btw, what is CTRL + S doing? To unfreeze the virtual terminal? | 15:28 |
| DuClare | wadafak, xon | 15:29 |
| un0p | errm, wait, i could have mask confused with umask -- let me verify RantingHuman | 15:29 |
| DuClare | wadafak, erm, xoff | 15:29 |
| DuClare | wadafak, ^q does xon | 15:29 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: install ntfs-config and run it as «gksudo ntfs-config» | 15:29 |
| Seveas | wadafak, ctrl+s freezes it, ctrl+q thaws it | 15:29 |
| RantingHuman | un0p, ok, thanks :) | 15:29 |
| wadafak | Oh I see | 15:29 |
| IamReck | The default network application that appears when you first install ubuntu... how do I get that back? | 15:29 |
| Dante123 | Seveas I went with your better version....works. Thanks a million virtual dollars!:-* | 15:29 |

| swiftman | could you please give me french chat | 15:30 |
| vkong | could some guy tell me how to install oracle 9i in the ubuntu 7.10 | 15:30 |
| un0p | RantingHuman, umask=003 it is | 15:30 |
| th0r | RantingHuman umask=003 according to google <smile> | 15:30 |
| DuClare | swiftman, about ubuntu? #ubuntu-fr | 15:30 |
| bazhang | !fr | swiftman | 15:30 |
| ubotu | swiftman: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 15:30 |
| RantingHuman | un0p, th0r :D Thanks a lot! Will try it out now | 15:30 |
| th0r | RantingHuman might want to set dmaks to 002 so the world can change directories | 15:31 |
| th0r | RantingHuman if you want to give them read permission to all of it that is | 15:31 |
| vkong | how to install oracle in the ubuntu???hey,pretty boys?? | 15:31 |
| toxrn | one thing i hate from debian users is their arrogance | 15:31 |
| DuClare | vkong, Doesn't it have an installer? | 15:31 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, ok | 15:31 |
| Switch^ | how do I mount my partition to /windows ? It won't mount | 15:32 |
| Seveas | vkong, ask in oracle support forums -- it's not included with ubuntu since it's non-free | 15:32 |
| DuClare | vkong, Use the installer if you can't find oracle in the repos. | 15:32 |
| kmg | can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out. I have the most recent version of ubuntu. | 15:32 |
| wadafak | is there a "screensaver" for console?? | 15:32 |
| nerous | Hey | 15:32 |
| th0r | Switch^ first check the 'mount' command to see if it is already mounted somewhere else | 15:32 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, http://rafb.net/p/hKM2mo81.html | 15:32 |
| nerous | flash plugin still not working | 15:33 |
| nerous | game me a few errors | 15:33 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: maybe fdisk is confused becouse is a raid array. have you mounted it? what «df -hs» shows | 15:33 |
| toxrn | i asked for a problem i have whit nvidia drivers and they said like "go to ubuntu, this is to easy for us" | 15:33 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, what about gid? Does that require to be changed? | 15:33 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, http://rafb.net/p/hKM2mo81.html | 15:33 |
| bazhang | nerous: yes the topic tells us so as well | 15:33 |
| Switch^ | th0r: it's not mounted; but it can only mount to /media/windows | 15:33 |
| Switch^ | well actually, that's not bad | 15:33 |
| nerous | the topic | 15:33 |
| th0r | RantingHuman don't think so....you just want to deny write permission, right? | 15:33 |
| Switch^ | so nevermind, th0 | 15:33 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, root@b0x:/dev/mapper# df -hs | 15:33 |
| baadnewz | df: invalid option -- s | 15:33 |
| wadafak | nerous: flash plugin? | 15:33 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, right now, Others have no permissions at all, want to allow read-only | 15:34 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, that sources.list is rather broken... | 15:34 |
| toxrn | so, here i am, i ubuntu and hope anybody can helpme whith my problem | 15:34 |
| toxrn | please! | 15:34 |
| th0r | Switch^ check fstab and see if there is a line in that file for the windows parition. If so, it will force windows to mount to that | 15:34 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: is "df -h" sorry | 15:34 |
| nerous | oh sorry, i am trying to install the flash player and i was following this troubleshooting page someone gave me | 15:34 |
| nerous | but it didnt work | 15:34 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, why? | 15:34 |
| Seveas | !nvidia | toxrn | 15:34 |
| ubotu | toxrn: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 15:34 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, you're missing essential things | 15:34 |
| wadafak | nerous: ubuntu 7.10? | 15:34 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, like? | 15:35 |
| toxrn | yeah | 15:35 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, and you're using gutsy-proposed, no cookie | 15:35 |
| toxrn | i know | 15:35 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, is not there the raid array .. only the hdd on which i have install windows and ubuntu | 15:35 |
| toxrn | but | 15:35 |
| th0r | RantingHuman right...then change dmask to 002 and umask to 003...should give read and 'cd' to everyone, write only to user and group | 15:35 |
| toxrn | the probles | 15:35 |
| toxrn | is | 15:35 |
| mynyml | my computer shuts down after less than 5 mins of use; right before that the fan starts runny like crazy. i checked the system monitor and it didnt indicate that something was using a lot of cpu power. any idea? | 15:35 |
| FloodBot2 | toxrn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:35 |
| toxrn | problem* | 15:35 |
| Seveas | and backports... | 15:35 |
| nerous | its xubuntu | 15:35 |
| kmg | can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out. I have the most recent version of ubuntu. | 15:35 |
| Seveas | !enter | toxrn | 15:35 |
| ubotu | toxrn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:35 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, what is cookie? i am new to ubuntu | 15:35 |
| toxrn | when i restart the pc | 15:35 |
| toxrn | the x cant run | 15:35 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: so you did not mounted it yet have you used ntfs-config ?? | 15:35 |
| nerous | 7.10 | 15:35 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, alright... except, there exists no dmask atm... I guess I'll add that | 15:35 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, yes i did run ntfs-config like u've said, and ntfs cofig windows showed up and had 2 checkboxes.. id checked them both then ok | 15:36 |
| th0r | RantingHuman dmask applies only to directories...fmask only to regular files....umask to everything. I am assuming they are cooperative....so when you set dmask it overrides umask...but you will need to verify that | 15:36 |
| wadafak | nerous: some changes in the adobe flash player or something, I don't have the url with me right now but you can try flashplugin-nonfree | 15:36 |
| baadnewz | *ntfs-config window (sorry for typo and bad english) | 15:36 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: can you check if the partition appears on your /etc/fstab? | 15:37 |
| wadafak | it should work | 15:37 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, someone who's new to ubuntu should stick to official repos. Not backports and definitely not -proposed | 15:37 |
| === hmpf|away is now known as hmpf | ||
| th0r | RantingHuman the world will need execute permission to change directories | 15:37 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, ohh... alright, will see what it does.. thanks :) | 15:37 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, oh! | 15:37 |
| th0r | RantingHuman can't 'cd' without 'x'....go figure <smile> | 15:37 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, no there is not in fstab .. only lines i have are for the nonraid hdd | 15:37 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, but i am not new to linux. | 15:37 |
| nerous | i found something | 15:37 |
| nerous | ill let you guys know | 15:38 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, so, umask 002 ? | 15:38 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, selecting proposed and backports shouldn't break my sources.list | 15:38 |
| mynyml | anyone knows why my box would decide to shut down within 5 minutes? | 15:38 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, but it will at some point break your system | 15:38 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, can u wait for 5 mins i must reboot i think i may know where the problem is | 15:38 |
| Seveas | mynyml, did you test the shutdown +5 command someone mentioned? :) | 15:38 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, er, no, umask 002 might cause problems; 'll try dmask 002 and umask 003 | 15:39 |
| Seveas | mynyml, sudo shutdown -c should cancel that | 15:39 |
| th0r | RantingHuman exactly | 15:39 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, ok i will not use backports and proposed. will this correct my souces.list or is there some other prob too? | 15:39 |
| l3ttuc3 | does anyone know of a decent gui frontend to iptables? | 15:39 |
| _moro_bana_ | jack_Sparrow | 15:39 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, the installer commented out lots of entries, the in.archive mirror may be broken, try another one | 15:39 |
| mynyml | Seveas: nah i didnt test anything. its been doing this since yesterday night | 15:40 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, yes, many entries are commented out, i was also wondering abt it | 15:40 |
| emma | l3ttuc3, I think firestarter might be. | 15:40 |
| kmg | can somebody pastebin their sources.list for me?? all my sources are timing out. I have the most recent version of ubuntu. | 15:40 |
| l3ttuc3 | ubuntu comes with shoreline firewall, but that's terribly complicated too :(. | 15:40 |
| l3ttuc3 | emma i was just having some problems with firestarter, and purged it. | 15:40 |
| emma | !firestarter | 15:40 |
| 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). | 15:40 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, this seems to be much more lines then used to be in source.list of etch | 15:40 |
| mynyml | Seveas: i'm in recovery mode right now, and its fine so i guess the hardware is fine. | 15:40 |
| Seveas | firestarter isn't what I call decent :) | 15:41 |
| phenom | Problems with Firestarter? Blasphemy. :) | 15:41 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, maybe guarddog is, I never used it though | 15:41 |
| l3ttuc3 | emma uh, i purged firestarter. | 15:41 |
| phenom | Really Seveas? | 15:41 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, because of all the commented out stuff :) | 15:41 |
| phenom | I've had no problem with it, I think it is great for adding rules. :| | 15:41 |
| PaulEU | hello! | 15:41 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas indeed, i wasn't quite happy with it. aren't there anything else? i've been out of the linux loop for too long (hiatus of about 8 years). sorry if my questions are a bit annoying. | 15:41 |
| Seveas | phenom, yeah, it tries to be too smart and adds too much crap to the rules | 15:41 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, may be because this time i selected india mirror | 15:42 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, I use iptables from the command line, works best :) | 15:42 |
| l3ttuc3 | phenom how would u turn off logging with that? | 15:42 |
| MirJA | gurpreet, india mirror sux, use europe ones | 15:42 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, but I do have the iptables quick reference (small booklet) nearby at all times ;) | 15:42 |
| PaulEU | I have question: where should I raport bug in software Firefox v3 beta? | 15:42 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, changing sources.list using 'Software Sources'. i will show it to u in sometime | 15:42 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas it's got a level of complexity im not in a position to get into at present unfortunately. | 15:42 |
| gurpreet | MirJA, i didnt knew abt it?but y? | 15:43 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, what kind of rules do you need, basic stuff is quickly explained | 15:43 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas hmm... i'd rather start with something a little simpler. besides, if i had the time, i'd probably go raw, like you. i dont. | 15:43 |
| MirJA | gurpreet, i have no answer to why but unfortunately they do | 15:43 |
| === R00p3r7 is now known as Roopert | ||
| erUSUL | l3ttuc3: firehol is easy enough unfortunetly has been broken on ubuntu for ages (there is a fixed package in updates or proposed iirc) that's what i use | 15:43 |
| gurpreet | MirJA, because they are slow? or not up to date? | 15:44 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas well, basically, i want to enable things like port 80, irc, msn/jabber/yahoo. i also want to be able to drop incoming packets from sites such as pagead.google.com. | 15:44 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, by default all ports are open, so you don't need to enable things | 15:44 |
| emma | l3ttuc3, you may find something here -- http://www.roseindia.net/linux/linux-firewall-gui.shtml | 15:44 |
| l3ttuc3 | erUSUL hmm. need kinda something stable. already had issues with one, don't want problems with another firewall frontend. | 15:44 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53703/ | 15:44 |
| phenom | l3ttuc3, I don't know, I don't leave it running, I had set firestarter to my rc.conf So that Firestarters rules stick at boot. | 15:44 |
| l3ttuc3 | emma thanks, will look that up. | 15:44 |
| MirJA | gurpreet, i guess its because they are slow | 15:45 |
| Seveas | for dropping packets from a certain IP: iptables -A INPUT -s ip.address.here -j DROP | 15:45 |
| RantingHuman | th0r, un0p : Works like a charm :D Thank you! | 15:45 |
| emma | My opinion is that firestarter is more than decent however. | 15:45 |
| DuClare | Simply disabling ports doesn't do a thing. It's the traffic that can be malicious, not a port... And any traffic may go through any port. | 15:45 |
| th0r | RantingHuman great...glad to help | 15:45 |
| gurpreet | MirJA, choosing best server | 15:45 |
| MirJA | gurpreet, just choose mirror outside of asia (except china mirrors) and your problem may be solved | 15:45 |
| l3ttuc3 | Seveas so i need to find out how to selectively close things down. i suspect i need a rule to disable all traffic, then one by one enable essentials. that was what i was saying was going to be tedious heh. | 15:46 |
| l3ttuc3 | on a command line, that is. | 15:46 |
| MirJA | i'll be back | 15:46 |
| bazhang | taiwans are fast gurpreet | 15:46 |
| gurpreet | MirJA, there is an option to 'choose best server' using that | 15:46 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: you have to use /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 note the final 1 as the partition identifier /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca means the whole disk and we mount partitions no whole disks | 15:46 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, you can change the policy to drop things and selectively allow | 15:46 |
| Stephen-Mason | is there a divx web player for ubuntu? | 15:46 |
| Seveas | l3ttuc3, hang on a bit and I'll pastebin you a simple ruleset for this | 15:46 |
| thomas | hello | 15:46 |
| phenom | Because if you all didn't know, unless Firestarter is "running" at boot, or Firestarter is properly set up in rc.conf, then your set FS rules are not active at boot. | 15:46 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, ok .. undersrood (kinda of) .. what do i have to do next? | 15:47 |
| bazhang | hi thomas | 15:47 |
| gurpreet | bazhang, but that may be because you may be near to taiwan. won't work same for me | 15:47 |
| DuClare | l3ttuc3, Add a default rule to drop all traffic. | 15:47 |
| DuClare | l3ttuc3, Then start adding expections for the traffic you want to allow. | 15:47 |
| erUSUL | Seveas: you should roll your own seveasfw_0.1-ubuntu.deb XD | 15:47 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: have you mounted it manually? | 15:47 |
| gurpreet | ubuntu chose UK server for me | 15:47 |
| thomas | how to install javav6 from terminal? | 15:47 |
| DuClare | l3ttuc3, You'd want to allow all outgoing traffic and packets related to already established connections. | 15:47 |
| emma | Stephen-Mason, I would check out VLC but I'm not sure. | 15:47 |
| erUSUL | !java > thomas | 15:47 |
| DuClare | l3ttuc3, Then punch in the holes to allow incoming traffic for servers if you run any. | 15:48 |
| emma | !VLC > Stephen-Mason | 15:48 |

| totherabc | hi i`ve got a question, where are the programm files and directorys saved from programms like eclipse? | 15:48 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca /media/raid/ | 15:48 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 /media/raid/ | 15:48 |
| erUSUL | should work | 15:48 |
| Stephen-Mason | vlc will player stage 6 movies? | 15:48 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: just to make a test later we can edit /etc/fstab to make it permanent | 15:49 |
| DuClare | totherabc, It depends, many programs have data in /usr/share | 15:49 |
| s0laris | hallo | 15:49 |
| phenom | Guys let me ask, do you have to reset your iptables rules at every boot, or do you set them in rc.conf as well? | 15:49 |
| lettuc3 | sorry. got disconnected. | 15:49 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, root@b0x:/home/baadnewz# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1 /media/raid/ | 15:49 |
| baadnewz | Failed to access '/dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca1': No such file or directory | 15:49 |
| lettuc3 | Seveas didn't see anything after you said pastebin, sorry. | 15:49 |
| erUSUL | Stephen-Mason: i use mozilla-mplayer | 15:49 |
| Seveas | lettuc3, I'm still working on it, hang on a bit more :) | 15:50 |
| totherabc | DuClare: isnt there a standart directory? i cant find my eclipse dir. | 15:50 |
| lettuc3 | ah ok, no problems. | 15:50 |
| DuClare | totherabc, Just what are you exactly looking for in that dir? | 15:50 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: run "sudo dmraid -r" and try again | 15:50 |
| DuClare | totherabc, Most of the time you shouldn't need to touch the files in those dirs.. | 15:50 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, please have a look at http://rafb.net/p/klBZHV52.html. i have changed sources.list | 15:51 |
| DuClare | totherabc, But did you check /usr/share/ ? Sometimes you can find things in /opt too, but that's pretty funny. | 15:51 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53705/ | 15:51 |
| Seveas | lettuc3, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53704/ should give you a good starting point | 15:52 |
| totherabc | DuClare, I checked /usr/share ; i wanna install the plugin VEP | 15:52 |
| lettuc3 | thanks. i'll have a look. | 15:52 |
| gurpreet | totherabc, use 'find / -iname eclipse' | 15:52 |
| lettuc3 | Seveas, thanks, i'll have a look. | 15:52 |
| DuClare | totherabc, You could try locate. | 15:52 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: sudo fdisk -l /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbghcaca ?? | 15:52 |
| DuClare | totherabc, Do you need to install it in a system-wide location? You could maybe just install it for your user... | 15:53 |
| lettuc3 | damn that looks a little complicated. | 15:53 |
| totherabc | DuClare, only for one use ive got just a one user system | 15:53 |

| kna | i want to hide a bittorrent server in the internet, how can i do that best, if a set up a box mannually? | 15:54 |
| DuClare | kna, What do you mean by hiding? | 15:55 |
| phenom | "Hiding a tracker" | 15:55 |
| phenom | :P | 15:55 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: so; why doesn't the dev file get created? ... | 15:55 |
| DuClare | phenom, Wasn't it a bittorrent server! | 15:55 |
| Seveas | gurpreet, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53708/ | 15:55 |
| kna | how can i do it best? i dont know anything ... what are the steps after i have registered a domain? | 15:55 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, i dont know .. | 15:56 |
| DuClare | kna, What are you hiding / hiding from what? | 15:56 |
| totherabc | DuClare, I loaded it from the eclipse site directly | 15:56 |
| DuClare | totherabc, I'd usually try the installer inside eclipse before doing things manually. | 15:56 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: the partition is there the dev file should have been created.... dunno why not is the case... | 15:56 |
| emma | kna -- You will want to find some one to host your website. You might have the same people you registered the domain host it, or you might shop around. | 15:56 |
| totherabc | DuClare, ok then I try to find the PlugIn manager | 15:56 |
| DuClare | totherabc, Not sure if it was in the help menu ... In 3.2 ^^ | 15:57 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, ok , any ideas what is left for me to do ? | 15:57 |
| erUSUL | Seveas: do you have any experience with dmraid ?? baadnewz partition nodes are not getting created ... | 15:58 |
| DuClare | kna, Freenet and tor are great places for hiding things. | 15:58 |
| DuClare | kna, "places" if you can call them that | 15:58 |
| emma | What does he mean by 'hiding' ? | 15:58 |
| phenom | This is a bad time to think of starting a torrent server. | 15:58 |
| DuClare | kna, But you never said what is this "bittorrent server" | 15:58 |
| Seveas | erUSUL, none whatsoever | 15:58 |

| DuClare | kna, If people can find that site, it's not hidden; if you want to hide you don't show it. But tor would be pretty good at keeping the source host anonymized. | 15:59 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto take a look here | 15:59 |

| totherabc | DuClare, thx I found now the dirs in /usr/lib | 16:00 |
| DuClare | kna, And btw, it's not a "bittorrent server" if it's just a web server serving out torrent files :p | 16:00 |
| erUSUL | baadnewz: sorry for not being of much help | 16:00 |
| DiceyDaysx | bazhang- So I need to convert it? | 16:00 |
| baadnewz | erUSUL, dont worry i apreciate everything you did for me i will keep looking for answers , thanks | 16:00 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, checked mine with yours, expect difference of servers rest all is same | 16:00 |
| bazhang | DiceyDaysx: you need to start from scratch | 16:00 |
| gurpreet | Seveas, thanks | 16:00 |
| DuClare | kna, Anyway, tor and deep web are the answers. Deep web basically means information which won't get indexed because it has limited access. | 16:01 |
| DiceyDaysx | bazhang- Because I am using this guide ( http://tinyurl.com/2v524g ) and I can't download the vdi tool correctly | 16:01 |

| IndyGunFreak | !root | sam__ | 16:06 |
| ubotu | sam__: 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 | 16:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | emma: thats pretty bad advice | 16:06 |
| emma | okay. sam, don't do sudo su | 16:06 |

| LucidFox | I'm even lucky to have IRC right now | 16:26 |
| millllmannnn | freakingme: i dont believe so... i have read that its because ubuntu doesnt have a native guest account, but ive tried creating a passwordless guest account and it still doesnt work | 16:27 |
| sam__ | seveas - should be i have a built in one and an external one, neither make anything show up | 16:27 |
| Seveas | sam__, the external one is having a driver problem. The internal one not, but its radio may be switched off, do you have a wireless-kill-switch? | 16:28 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: change your terminal profile so that the terminal stays open when the command exits | 16:28 |
| sam__ | seveas, yes, its now turned on | 16:28 |
| Dante124 | how do i do that? | 16:28 |

| DRebellion | Dante124: open the terminal app. right-click on the window and select "edit current profile" | 16:29 |

| Dennis_ | I'd like to know if there is another channel corresponding Xen under Ubuntu. Does anybody know? | 16:35 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: try deleting the space before the semicolon in your command | 16:36 |
| sam__ | seveas network manager doesn't show up anything at all | 16:36 |
| Seveas | sam__, if you remove all the manual configuration from that file, leave the external wifi dongle unplugged and reboot, network-manager should pick up the internal one and work with it | 16:36 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: or put it in a script and run the script with the launcher | 16:36 |
| Seveas | sam__, n-m doesn't show anything *because* you made manual changes | 16:36 |
| sam__ | seveas which bits should I delete | 16:36 |

| kitche | kmg: do the full path to the executable | 16:42 |
| DRebellion | Seveas: at least that was how it was the last time i checked ;) | 16:42 |
| Seveas | DRebellion, not in the latest FHS :p | 16:42 |
| protcront | <StrangeCharm_> in the admin section | 16:42 |
| Guits | CAnnot get better resolution than 800 600 | 16:42 |
| Seveas | Guits, buy a better monitor :) | 16:42 |
| kmg | kitche: no such file or directory | 16:42 |
| protcront | <StrangeCharm_> or somewhere else ? | 16:43 |
| kitche | kmg: are you sure the file is there? | 16:43 |
| Guits | no. had good before | 16:43 |
| kitche | DRebellion: FHS actually uses /srv now for files | 16:43 |
| Guits | changed ubuntu to ubuntu ultimate | 16:43 |
| kmg | kitche: positive, when I hit tab it even autocompletes to it | 16:43 |
| StrangeCharm_ | DRebellion: a file server for my own use as some remote space | 16:43 |
| roddersg | Seveas; system-config-printer not available in 6.06, Do I need to install lpr/lpd first? | 16:44 |
| Dante124 | DRebellion http://paste.uni.cc/18206 | 16:44 |
| StrangeCharm_ | DRebellion: should i be putting the files in /var then ? | 16:44 |
| kitche | kmg: well your system is not seeing it | 16:44 |
| === tinycat is now known as comm321 | ||
| Seveas | roddersg, neh, just use 7.10 :) | 16:44 |
| kmg | kitche: apparently | 16:44 |
| StrangeCharm_ | protcront: no, under games | 16:44 |
| DRebellion | StrangeCharm_: no | 16:44 |
| rbs-tito | StrangeCharm_: /var/www is Apache by default | 16:44 |
| roddersg | I know, but trying out a minimal Gnome | 16:44 |
| Seveas | roddersg, iirc the tool is named gnome-cups-$something | 16:44 |
| Guits | how can i make ubuntu rescan my config and find correct graphic drivers | 16:44 |
| roddersg | yeah, gnome-cups-manager but nothing comes up in the System>Administration menus | 16:45 |
| kmg | kitche: any other ideas? | 16:45 |
| kitche | kmg: nope if you used the full path like so sh <path> then it should have run | 16:45 |
| Seveas | bbl -- upgrading to hardy and it's almost time to reboot :) | 16:46 |
| alsadk | !logout | 16:46 |

| roddersg | any points to setting up printing from scratch? | 16:46 |
| kmg | kitche: my point was that i wasn't using sh | 16:46 |
| kitche | kmg: well that's whow you run executables as well besides ./ | 16:46 |
| kestir | Would someone please help me troubleshoot my sound? it only comes through my center speaker and front right | 16:46 |
| kalpik | Guits, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 16:46 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: sorry, almost forgot :P | 16:47 |
| kmg | kitche: oh, I thought that was for shell scripts only | 16:47 |
| kitche | kmg: ./ is really just a shortcut way to say sh | 16:47 |
| rbs-tito | kitche: Only if you chmod + x | 16:47 |
| Guits | kalpik ....and then what_ | 16:48 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: i take it its 5.1 surround? | 16:48 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: yes | 16:48 |
| kitche | rbs-tito: yes I know they alredy chmod +x | 16:48 |
| BernieSan | stranger | 16:48 |
| kitche | rbs-tito: please keep up with the conversation | 16:48 |
| kmg | kitche: k, well nothing is working here and I can't figure out why. I can do file <name of executable> but I can't execute it | 16:48 |
| BernieSan | kitche | 16:48 |
| kalpik | Guits, ubuntu will then re-create the xorg file.. like it did at install time | 16:48 |
| BernieSan | what do you use? KDE or Gnome? | 16:48 |
| * white_eagle is away: white_eagle takes his gun and shoots himself | 16:48 | |

| rinaldi_ | kestir: have you cheked your sound preferences, the device track may have to be set to sound... | 16:49 |
| Guits | kalpik: nothing happens | 16:49 |
| BernieSan | how many people uses KDE or GNOME? | 16:49 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: alsamixer? everything is turned up | 16:49 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: *surround | 16:49 |

| white_eagle | ok | 16:53 |

| kestir | rinaldi_: sound cable? | 16:53 |
| sam__ | seveas : nm has no option to manually choose my devices, so what do i do? | 16:53 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: what connects the computer to the speakers. is it just an ordinary 3.5mm jack? | 16:53 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: oh yes | 16:54 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: ok, now you need to make the script executable. open up a terminal and cd to the directory its in. then run, chmod a+x <nameofscript> | 16:54 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: did you try selecting "surround"? | 16:54 |

| rinaldi_ | kestir: well it seems ok when i change it... sure its not a problem with your speakers? have you tried it with anything else? | 16:56 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: "Sound Preferences" down at the bottom "Default Mixer Tracks" | 16:56 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: ok, now give it a suitable name and move it to /usr/bin | 16:57 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: what's supposed to happen when you highlight something in that long list? | 16:57 |
| sam__ | Seveas, you still around? | 16:57 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: no the speakers are fine, IWIW | 16:57 |
| _moro_bana_ | i have installed ubuntu on usb but it runs like a live cd, is there a way to make an install like on a hdd | 16:57 |
| Dante124 | i called it codserverscript good enough? | 16:58 |
| El-Al | can anyone tell me whether the fglrx driver supports the ATi radeon 9500 series of video cards? | 16:58 |

| kestir | rinaldi_: in which option? | 16:58 |
| === root__ is now known as rob | ||
| kestir | rinaldi_: there is no OSS in that long list | 16:58 |

| kestir | rinaldi_: output where? | 16:59 |
| kestir | rinaldi_: the word output isn't on this window anywhere | 17:00 |
| Dante124 | DRebellion okay I called it codserverscript and moved it into /usr/bin | 17:00 |
| Dante124 | now what? | 17:00 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: now create a launcher and in the command box just put codserverscript | 17:00 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: well it changes for example i have a headphone jack on the front and that becomes the default output if i select "front" etc | 17:01 |

| Dante124 | DRebellion: did that and it does the same thing....terminal appears on the bottom app bar for a sec then disappears | 17:02 |
| Seveas | salah, #gtk on gimpnet :) | 17:02 |
| salah | Seveas, thanks a lot | 17:02 |
| Seveas | FireHazrd, yes, simply restore from your backup | 17:02 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: hmm, one sec | 17:02 |
| sam__ | Seveas, any ideas on how to make it work now? I've done what you said to do | 17:02 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: :/ . You sure the command is right? Or it isn't started? | 17:02 |
| gnurph69 | oops, I meant eth0:avahi | 17:03 |
| Seveas | sam__, try 'sudo iwlist scan' again -- if it says wlan0 is not up: sudo ifup wlan0 (then wait 10 seconds) sudo iwlist scan | 17:03 |
| protcront | i already have ubuntu and works perfectly fine but i want to try kubuntu, is there any way that i dont delete ubuntu and install kubuntu as well | 17:03 |
| rinaldi_ | kestir: did you say it was only the front ones working? | 17:03 |
| FireHazrd | Seveas, does ubuntu take backups automatically or is this something i was to do manually? | 17:03 |
| Seveas | gnurph69, eth0:avahi can be ignored | 17:03 |
| === ghost34 is now known as [-Ghost-] | ||

| FireHazrd | Seveas, what is the easiest way to take my own backups? | 17:04 |

| HardDisk | Basem, are you installing on a HD or USB? | 17:21 |
| Basem | hd | 17:21 |
| Basem | but i want to install on windows pation that have 4 gb free | 17:21 |
| DIL | Basem, install windows first | 17:21 |
| HardDisk | Basem, well just use the resize too | 17:21 |
| pewpewpew | then the process will involve resizing | 17:22 |
| HardDisk | tool* | 17:22 |
| Basem | where can i find it? | 17:22 |
| HardDisk | during the installation. | 17:22 |
| Dante124 | DRebellion thanks for help. I type codserverscript from open terminal and it works....so while the launcher doesn't....we have saved the kiddies a few bit of typing. Thanks for the help. | 17:22 |
| pewpewpew | if you plan on resizing you should defragment the partition in advance | 17:22 |
| pewpewpew | if the partition you want to resize is an active windows partition, that is | 17:22 |
| Basem | guys now i'm at step 4 and it give me 2 options use entire disk and manual | 17:22 |
| Basem | i dont see any resize tool | 17:22 |
| nickrud | Basem: the big issue is, defrag and maybe give yourself a little more space somehow, you'll need 4gb at the _very_ minimum for the install, plus some space for the swap partition | 17:23 |
| HardDisk | Basem, how is your windows setup? | 17:23 |
| Basem | what u mean how is my windos step up | 17:23 |
| DIL | Basem, is this a new drive | 17:23 |
| Basem | i have 2 partion in my computer one for the windows is 8 gb and have 4 gb | 17:23 |
| Basem | and the other one is for data like movies etc | 17:24 |

| Stephen-Mason | whats the command for installing something? | 17:26 |
| WalloO | apt-get install packageName | 17:26 |
| lettuc3 | would it be possible to drop all packets going to pagead2.googlesyndication.com using the name rather than the IP? furthermore, would it be possible to block any packets where the url is something like http://*.com*/adverts/*? | 17:26 |
| nickrud | Stephen-Mason: sudo apt-get install <packagename> | 17:26 |
| DRebellion | Dante124: no problem. at least you learned a bit about shell scripts ;) | 17:26 |
| DIL | "./install"?? | 17:27 |
| Stephen-Mason | cool | 17:27 |

| RequinB5 | which file in /bin is firefox executable? | 17:27 |
| lettuc3 | pewpewpew at the moment it is. i'll read more of iptables when i have a chance. | 17:27 |
| Vala | hi people. I have NVIDIA card with svideo. how do I use it? what should I install / enable? | 17:27 |

| xealot | Hello all, I have a question about wxGlade, im attempting to design a basic chat interface with one large multiline textbox and one small single line one, They reside in a 2 row Sizer, my problem is that the smaller single line box wont be anchored to the bottom of the frame | 17:28 |
| lettuc3 | pewpewpew i want to drop those packets because i don't want ads to show up when i'm browsing. | 17:28 |
| RequinB5 | Refugee? um, i just want a desktop shortcut WalloO xD | 17:28 |
| xealot | so if i resize downwards, i will just get a large empty space of nothing instead of the controls auto resizing | 17:28 |
| pewpewpew | lettuc3: If that's your concern, then AdBlock maybe would be a better choice | 17:28 |
| jengle | hi all. | 17:28 |
| pewpewpew | Just because there are nifty lists already online, blocking pretty much everything ad-related | 17:29 |
| Stephen-Mason | HAHA! | 17:29 |
| RequinB5 | hello jengle | 17:29 |
| lettuc3 | pewpewpew i dont use firefox, but opera. | 17:29 |
| Nitin | Hey Jengle. | 17:29 |
| WalloO | RequinB5: open a terminla en run "whereis firefox" to know where firefox is. then create your shortcut using the output | 17:29 |
| lettuc3 | pewpewpew is iptables too low-level for that kind of filtering to work? | 17:29 |
| RequinB5 | WalloO - thx, then i'd assume it would be the /usr/bin | 17:30 |
| WalloO | RequinB5, but since firefox is in your path, just type "firefox" has coimmand to run. | 17:30 |
| overridex | anyone have a tar of the WMD wiimote driver from forthewiin.org? the site's been down for quite a while... | 17:30 |

| Vala | hi people. I have NVIDIA card with svideo. how do I use it? what should I install / enable? (it's already connected to the TV) | 17:30 |

| phenom | lettuc3, http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm /may be of interest to you. This article is based on win, but the hosts file is relevant on linux as well. | 17:30 |

| WorkingOnWise | DuClare: and anyone else, sorry got the lag...Google SketchUp has very specific purposes that nothing else can do, so I use it for everything. Since I have been in Ubuntu full time, I havn't needed it so it hasn't been an issue. Today it is becoming one.

| lettuc3 | phenom you mentioned the hosts file, how do i make linux update its cache and read from it again? | 17:50 |
| AriesNoSion_Gold | when I connect them and do "lsusb" | 17:50 |
| jengle | apt-get tells me that there are packages that packages "were automatically installed and are no longer required"... does this mean that there are no other packages that are dependent upon any of those listed? | 17:50 |
| AriesNoSion_Gold | it complains about a "device description read error" | 17:50 |
| AriesNoSion_Gold | any hints? | 17:50 |
| Stephen-Mason | god help me lol | 17:50 |
| nickrud | jengle: it means exactly that there are no packages depending on the ones listed | 17:51 |
| jengle | nickrud: is there a way to remove them all in one command? | 17:51 |
| lettuc3 | how do i get linux to process the hosts file again? | 17:52 |
| nickrud | jengle: sudo apt-get autoremove | 17:52 |
| phenom | lettuc3, /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart /i believe will do the trick. | 17:52 |

| smultron | eid: you can use the "session" comman | 17:59 |
| Stephen-Mason | vmware player could not be installed on my computer | 17:59 |
| nickrud | tinman: you would have to look at the list, then investigate each process to understand what it does | 17:59 |
| DRebellion | erm, i just installed xubuntu-desktop with apt-get. i want to remove it but when i do sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop, it only removes xubuntu-desktop and not the other 200MB worth of stuff that came with it !? | 17:59 |
| phenom | Stephen-Mason, Trust me,, go for "server". It is a lot more "mindless" to configure. | 18:00 |

| phenom | lettuc3, It appears Ubuntu does not ship with the nscd daemon. :| In the lit I have read, you may have to install it. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html | 18:05 |
| DRebellion | nickrud: thanks | 18:05 |
| lettuc3 | phenom it has to parse the hosts file somehow. something has to do that :( | 18:05 |
| bkar | DarK_MaN1-> what is the problem? | 18:07 |
| phenom | lettuc3, I would think :/ although, nscd is installed on Etch. I'm not quite sure if there is another way to be honest. But that is the recommended way to do it on Ubuntu and linux in general. | 18:07 |
| lettuc3 | phenom if it aint running the cache, changes should be reflected live? does it even parse the file? | 18:07 |

| cyzie | is ubuntu has some online mirror like centos ? | 18:08 |
| nickrud | lettuc3: not saying that will work, but /etc/hosts seems to be processed immediately. I had a missing localhost ref once and when I added it it was recognized immediately | 18:09 |

| lettuc3 | phenom what you were saying was like i thought applicable for when the names are cached. that's what the service is for, so im assuming the changes have to be live, when it's not there. | 18:09 |

| osotogari | just wondering could someone give me some help mounting my second hard drive? | 18:11 |
| javier_ | vmware usually install an uninstaller | 18:11 |
| lettuc3 | phenom from what i remember of debian sarge, editing hosts/hosts.deny used to be reflected immediately. | 18:11 |
| phenom | lettuc3, the changes are immediate.. | 18:11 |
| Stephen-Mason | yer, but im a windows user just moved to linux so i dont know what im foing? | 18:11 |
| DRebellion | osotogari: just ask your question and i'm sure someone will help | 18:12 |
| phenom | I added a line "127.0.0.1 www.google.com" , and my page pops up when I go to google. :) | 18:12 |
| bkar | Stephen-Mason-> look for a file called vmware-uninstall.pl | 18:12 |
| lettuc3 | phenom how come i'm seeing none of it here? | 18:12 |
| MrObvious | lgolebio: How did you change frequency? | 18:12 |
| eid | i want to make an installable backup of Ubuntu partition ? | 18:12 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: are you running a web server on your machine listening on 127.0.0.1 | 18:12 |
| nickrud | !backup | eid (several methods shown here) | 18:13 |
| phenom | Try to add "127.0.0.1 www.google.com" to hosts, and visit google. | 18:13 |
| ubotu | eid (several methods shown here): 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 | 18:13 |
| lettuc3 | phenom still no luck. ikonia no web servers. | 18:13 |
| Stephen-Mason | cant find it? | 18:13 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: thats why it won't work | 18:13 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: if you want to do 127.0.0.1 you have to have a webserver running on localhost | 18:13 |
| mikebeecham | can anyone tell me where I can find the root folder of xchat-gnome? | 18:13 |
| cjones | why would opera just go way like poof its gon at randem times ? | 18:14 |
| ikonia | mikebeecham: what do you mean the root folder ? | 18:14 |
| lettuc3 | ikonia if i don't have a webserver running, shouldn't the browser return with an error rather than point me to www.yahoo.com? | 18:14 |
| lgolebio | Mr0bvious: http://technowizah.com/2007/01/debian-how-to-cpu-frequency-management.html | 18:14 |
| ikonia | mikebeecham: the actual binary is in /usr/bin | 18:14 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: really, thats odd | 18:14 |
| osotogari | upon installing i mounted my second hard drive to /media, since then I have changed my fstab to mount the second HD to /mnt/data. However when I look in this directory I see the following directories cdrom, cdrom0, lost & found and data. Why is this? My second HD doesn't show up in the "Computer" tab in the Places menu. I'm pretty stumped here. | 18:14 |
| mikebeecham | ikonia: xchat has disappeared from my menu, despite still being installed (see, I'm using it!!!) I was going to add it back into the menu manually | 18:14 |
| lettuc3 | i've got 127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com in hosts and got www.yahoo.com in hosts.deny. | 18:14 |
| bkar | Stephen-Mason-> I looked and vmware-uninstall.pl is linked to vmware-install.pl effectively they are one and the same | 18:14 |
| MrObvious | lgolebio: Thanks. | 18:14 |
| lettuc3 | and neither are getting parsed. because www.yahoo.com shows fine. | 18:14 |
| MrObvious | lgolebio: And It's an O not zero on the name. | 18:14 |
| lgolebio | sorry | 18:15 |
| lettuc3 | clearing browser cache, quiting browser does not seem to help. | 18:15 |
| nickrud | osotogari: do you see your data at /mnt/data ? | 18:15 |

| bkar | Stephen-Mason-> same file with two different names | 18:15 |
| lettuc3 | ok, now, for some reason, it's working as expected. | 18:15 |
| osotogari | @nickrud: The drive is empty I formatted it upon install | 18:15 |
| lettuc3 | i haven't done anything new or changed anything. | 18:15 |
| nickrud | osotogari: you should see lost+found if you formatted it as ext3 | 18:16 |
| Stephen-Mason | would it be in with the insilation files or will it be were the files were installed? | 18:16 |
| mikebeecham | ikonia: cheers mate...that worked | 18:16 |
| osotogari | @ nickrud: Yup, i formatted it as ext3 | 18:16 |
| mikebeecham | next one will be to get my mic working in ubuntu ikonia, but I know thats a VERY steep hill to climb :D | 18:16 |
| bkar | !who | Stephen-Mason | 18:16 |
| ubotu | Stephen-Mason: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 18:16 |
| lettuc3 | ok, so hosts now seems to work, but hosts.deny does not. | 18:16 |
| nickrud | osotogari: so, when you do ls /mnt/data do you see the lost+found directory? | 18:16 |
| Stephen-Mason | ok | 18:16 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: what do you have in hosts.deny | 18:17 |
| phenom | lettuc3, I tested it, and it will give a 503 error if no web server is installed. | 18:17 |
| osotogari | @ nickrud: Yes | 18:17 |
| lettuc3 | ikonia i have www.yahoo.com and on another line 87.248.113.14 | 18:17 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: thats not how hosts.deny works | 18:17 |
| lettuc3 | ikonia oh, sorry. | 18:17 |
| Stephen-Mason | bkr> would the uninstall file be with the files a used to install the program or with the files that the program installed? | 18:17 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: hosts.allow and hosts.deny are used by tcpd - which controls daemons | 18:17 |
| axelfr | Hi, anyone knows how i can access graphic drivers list thru command line in boot, pick one, and set it ? | 18:18 |
| lettuc3 | phenom mine ended up working, but im not exactly sure why, all this time it wasn't. | 18:18 |
| nickrud | osotogari: then you are mounting the partition correctly. When you initially had it on /media/data you created the dir /media/data so it still exists. And, nautilus only shows devices mounted in /media on the desktop | 18:18 |
| TheDarkKiller | Graaaargh | 18:18 |
| ikonia | axelfr:graphics drivers list ? | 18:18 |
| lettuc3 | ikonia hmm... i had assumed it would just drop requests from hosts inside there. wrong, then. | 18:18 |
| === dora is now known as Gorzak | ||
| TheDarkKiller | After I updated my 'software', sound is not working! | 18:18 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: thats for tcpd only | 18:18 |
| osotogari | @ nickrud: Ok, I now understand. What about the other folders I see, cdrom, cdrom0? | 18:18 |
| TheDarkKiller | Can someone help me here? | 18:19 |
| TheDarkKiller | Sound was working great before | 18:19 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: you have to ask a question rather than just make noises like garrrrrr | 18:19 |
| phenom | lettuc3, I find it best to roll with the punches brother :P I wouldn't kill myself wondering why. | 18:19 |
| TheDarkKiller | Btw, the sound works on XP | 18:19 |
| axelfr | ikonia, yeah i change the driver for my graphic chipset (intel 945), but boot freezes i think the driver is set is wrong | 18:19 |
| TheDarkKiller | I know | 18:19 |
| nickrud | osotogari: cdrom0 is the place the cdrom gets mounted to; cdrom is a link to cdrom0 ls -l /media will show you that link | 18:19 |
| TheDarkKiller | It's just frustrating | 18:19 |
| Stephen-Mason | grrrrrrrrr :( | 18:19 |
| ikonia | axelfr: you can't access that at boot | 18:19 |
| lettuc3 | phenom argh. | 18:19 |
| === faris is now known as zubat | ||
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: and ? the channel isn't frustrating so making random noises doesn't do anything to help you get help | 18:20 |
| axelfr | ikonia, can i reset it through the live cd ? | 18:20 |
| TheDarkKiller | I'm pretty aware of that, thank you. | 18:20 |
| shr1k3 | @ferengi | 18:20 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: if your aware of it - don't do it | 18:20 |
| ikonia | axelfr: you can boot "safe" or "recovery" mode from your grub boot lines and change it | 18:20 |
| osotogari | @nickrud: ok, but why is that link there in my /mnt/data directory? | 18:20 |
| TheDarkKiller | But really, I asked this question before. I got blindly ignored. | 18:20 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: again - and ? why is that a reason to just make silly noises ? | 18:21 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well, it was pointless. | 18:21 |
| nickrud | osotogari: what link in /mnt/data ? cdrom -> /media/cdrom0 ? | 18:21 |
| TheDarkKiller | But what am I supposed to do. | 18:21 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: wait patiently | 18:21 |
| bkar | !patience TheDarkKiller | 18:21 |
| axelfr | ikonia, ok right, whats the command i could use ? | 18:21 |
| ikonia | axelfr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 18:21 |
| osotogari | @ nickrud: patrick@ubuntu:~$ ls /mnt/hd_2/ | 18:22 |
| osotogari | cdrom cdrom0 data lost+found | 18:22 |
| axelfr | ikonia, ok thanks a lot | 18:22 |
| nickrud | TheDarkKiller: not ignored, just that sound is difficult to troubleshoot and no one here will take it on | 18:22 |
| TheDarkKiller | And look at the chat getting filled up (where my question gets lost in all the other questions)? | 18:22 |
| Stephen-Mason | im a total noob, can anyone tell me how to uninstall vmware because it wont allow me to install a new one untill i do so. please take into consideration that i an normaly a windows user and am unexperiaced with how linux works, i have no knowlage at all | 18:22 |
| nickrud | TheDarkKiller: *can* take it on, more accurately | 18:22 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: thats right - yes | 18:22 |
| phenom | Stephen-Mason, Ok Synaptic package manager is your friend, | 18:22 |
| ikonia | nickrud: thats not true, people will trouble shoot, but some people are helping multiple people at once | 18:22 |
| Stephen-Mason | phenom, i didnt use synaptic package manager to install it? | 18:23 |
| nickrud | osotogari: if they are links, they probably got made at some time while it was mounted in media. ls -l will tell you what they point at. Never seen that happen, though | 18:23 |
| phenom | Stephen-Mason, Until you become a bit more familiar using the terminal, then I'd suggest you to useit/live it/love it. Open Synaptic, and simply right click/uninstall. | 18:23 |
| johnathon | can any one tell me why my amarok is not syncing with my iPod | 18:23 |
| Stephen-Mason | it does have it in the list but it says that there are files from that instilation on my computer | 18:24 |
| nickrud | ikonia: you're welcome to sound, but it's generally true that most sound questions are quietly passed on :) | 18:24 |
| danand | Stephen-Mason - what did you use? | 18:24 |
| hermanthegerman | hi... does anybody know if it is possible to replace openoffice from ubuntu 6.06 AMD64 with an actual version? | 18:24 |
| phenom | Stephen-Mason, I'm not sure how you installed it, I assume either via apt-get/aptitude/or synaptic. | 18:24 |
| Debaser | !photorec | 18:24 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about photorec - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:24 |
| Stephen-Mason | phenom, command line | 18:24 |
| ikonia | nickrud: nah, always hit the factoid first as no-one ever does it, then progress to more useful debugging | 18:24 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well, all I can say is that the sound worked perfectly before (it still works fine under my second XP partition, though). | 18:24 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: it's an intel card ? | 18:25 |
| phenom | Ok, I would still recommend you to uninstall it via synaptic. | 18:25 |
| Stephen-Mason | i cant find it in there? | 18:25 |
| lettuc3 | how do i set up a webserver to listen to 127.0.0.2 only? :P | 18:25 |
| ikonia | lettuc3: httpd.conf - ServerName or Listen set it to localhost or 127.0.0.1 | 18:25 |
| osotogari | @nickrud: seems that cdrom -> cdrom0.... Hmmm how will I fix this..weird | 18:25 |
| danand | Stephen-Mason - agree with phenom - synaptics is just a gui for command line based apt-get | 18:25 |
| TheDarkKiller | Well, I doubt it us. Any command so I can look it up? | 18:25 |
| bkar | lettuc3-> which webserver? like netcat? | 18:25 |
| TheDarkKiller | * | 18:26 |
| TheDarkKiller | *is | 18:26 |

I'm running ubuntu server 7.10 | 18:26 |
| danand | Stephen-Mason - use search tool in synaptic | 18:26 |
| TheDarkKiller | I'm not quite sure, how can I look it up? | 18:26 |
| TheDarkKiller | VIA 8235 | 18:26 |
| ikonia | TheDarkKiller: what make of PC is it ? | 18:26 |
| phenom | Stephen-Mason, Yes, use search "vmware" or whatever you installed via comand line. | 18:26 |
| nickrud | lettuc3: add/modify the line Listen 127.0.0.1:80 to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf | 18:26 |
| lettuc3 | bkar well, the idea is, im getting some ad sites to resolve to 127.0.0.2 and i want a blank page to show up in my browser rather than the error message, which invovlves a timeout delat. | 18:26 |

| Seveas | Stephen-Mason, bad Stephen, no cookie | 18:34 |
| ompaul | KindOne, you can but you can also get bootloaders to see each other and load whichever you want | 18:34 |
| Seveas | you should install from the deb, not with a script | 18:34 |
| HardDisk | let the deb be your guide. | 18:34 |
| pvl1 | mikebeecham, well have u used alsamixer | 18:34 |
| Stephen-Mason | lol, i dont knowwww? :( what do i do now? | 18:34 |
| __VIO__ | My pc seems to have aproblem whit install libc6-udeb at 21% | 18:34 |
| danand | KindOne - yes you can have windows on one drive and GNU/Linux on another - you use a loader called grub to choose what OS to boot at startup | 18:34 |
| mikebeecham | I am in it at the moment | 18:34 |

| matisse | hi | 18:36 |
| nikin | is there any way to get the flashplayer use both of my CPU-s? | 18:36 |
| NAiL | Travis_: -c IIRC | 18:36 |
| nickrud | RequinB5: we're all refugees from bad os's, so it does fit :) | 18:36 |
| matisse | how do i check my current up- and download amount ? | 18:37 |
| HardDisk | RequinB5, you prolly will like Exaile it's the gnome version for amarok. | 18:37 |
| danand | nickrud - :) | 18:37 |
| ompaul | Stephen-Mason, it might be good to consider (and you may hate this) install it again and then cleanly do your vmware rather than starting with foundations built on sand that might need a lot more attention to fix later that was the thought in my head | 18:37 |
| HardDisk | RequinB5, the website shows you how to install their repo's | 18:37 |
| Stephen-Mason | grrrr, lol, i need to format? :( lol | 18:37 |
| overridex | anyone have a tar of the WMD wiimote driver from forthewiin.org? the site's been down for quite a while... | 18:37 |
| pvl1 | wheres java vm installed? | 18:38 |
| nickrud | Stephen-Mason: to be honest it's very hard to help uninstall software that is manually installed | 18:38 |
| ompaul | Stephen-Mason, no, and yes, you don't have to regenerate the partitions, just format them so you don't have cruft there | 18:38 |
| NAiL | Travis_: wget -nc (no clobber) | 18:38 |
| danand | Stephen-Mason - does the command dpkg -l | grep vmware show up anything?? | 18:38 |
| ompaul | Stephen-Mason, if it is grrrr why then the lol which is laugh out loud, this is not IM this is IM's grandaddy | 18:38 |
| pvl1 | whers java vm installed? | 18:39 |
| wolfman2323 | hi... im just a newbie.. ive tried to use synaptic and try the doc... section.. and mark some pdf and html .. howtos.... my question is..where i could see the files after it finised?? | 18:39 |
| Stephen-Mason | ii vmware-server-kernel-modules 2.6.22.0-1 vmware-server kernel module dependency packa | 18:39 |
| Stephen-Mason | ii vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.22-14 2.6.22.0-1 vmware-server modules for Linux (kernel 2.6. | 18:39 |
| Travis_ | NAiL whats the diff between -c and -nc the man page confuses me | 18:39 |
| nickrud | pvl1: /usr/lib/jvm/* | 18:39 |
| pvl1 | thanks nickrud | 18:40 |
| NAiL | Travis_: -c continues if the file is smaller than what you're downloading. -nc just doesn't download if it'd overwrite something | 18:40 |
| Debaser | hi i m using photorec to recover some deleted pictures on my secondary hard disk but the folders created by photorec can be accessed i get an error message saying that i dont have permission to access them....pls help | 18:40 |
| danand | Stephen-Mason - try apt-get -s --purge remove vmware-server-kernel-modules | 18:40 |
| syntaxerror55 | How do I make Qt apps use my GTK theme? | 18:40 |
| Debaser | I ve tried using $sudo cd /folder.... to but it still says permission denied | 18:41 |
| phenom | Stephen-Mason, I again,, would use synaptic package manager to install everything until you get a bit more comfortable with the command line, and note: anything that you can install via "sudo apt-get install whatever" can be installed/removed with synaptic package manager. It is perfectly find to install/remove programs with either method, but I would suggest only those 2 methods "for now at least", do not contemplate building or installing from "s | 18:41 |
| phenom | ource". | 18:41 |
| nickrud | Debaser: you can't sudo cd , just cd | 18:41 |
| Debaser | nikin, but even then its permission denied :S | 18:41 |
| syntaxerror55 | Debaser: try gksudo nautilus | 18:41 |
| Stephen-Mason | yer, i think that mighta worked gona try installing vmserver now | 18:41 |
| danand | Stephen-Mason - see what the output is - that command will not actually do anything - the -s command means just simulate | 18:41 |
| Travis_ | NAiL perfect answered my question....Thanks! | 18:41 |
| nickrud | Debaser: then sudo -i , and cd | 18:41 |
| nikin | Debaser: use sudo -i | 18:41 |
| nikin | ant then use cd | 18:42 |
| Ttech | test | 18:42 |

| Ballena | is there any tutorials for the old program 'mail'? | 18:42 |

| nikin | tcpst | 18:43 |
| sybariten | OK i'm gonna do this in one line because this place is crowded: Ubuntu live on USB, persistent changes. ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ firefox -safe-mode --> Segmentation fault (core dumped) .... it used to work! Can i get more error information?? | 18:43 |
| Stephen-Mason | im gona do a fresh install ill be back in about half hour | 18:43 |
| pvl1 | how can i enable direct rendering | 18:43 |
| bascule | sybariten: sure strace | 18:43 |
| * nickrud thinks Stephen-Mason has a very fast system and net | 18:44 | |
| syntaxerror55 | When I turn on my computer, Ubuntu says that resolvconf failed. :| | 18:44 |
| Stephen-Mason | i do, indeed lol | 18:44 |
| sybariten | by the way, i can always start it when running "true" live mode from the USB, but when running "live with persistent changes", firefox always dies. Used to work, as i said, i cant see what i changed. | 18:44 |
| sybariten | bascule: OK thanks | 18:44 |
| nickrud | pvl1: what video chip , if you're not exactly sure lspci | grep -i vga will tell you | 18:44 |
| bascule | sybariten: or gdb if you wanna get really messy ;) | 18:44 |
| Ballena | bkar: i should use sendmail instead? | 18:44 |
| NAiL | sybariten: Maybe firefox has some config somewhere (in the persistent bit) that makes it segfault? | 18:44 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, matrox g450, mga driver | 18:45 |
| bkar | Ballena-> you asked for older mail, older mail uses sendmail | 18:45 |
| Ballena | bkar: ok | 18:45 |
| NAiL | Anyone that can help with root-on-LVM2 issues? I need to make sure that I'm making initramfs/initrd correctly :\ | 18:45 |
| sybariten | NAiL: yeah, i'm thinking something like that. But i cant remember that i tweaked firefox though.... as you can see, i tried with safe-mode, same thing. safe mode shouldnt use any specific configs.... | 18:45 |
| sybariten | bascule: this seems to be something i run a command _through_ ? a bit like a filter? | 18:46 |
| NAiL | sybariten: strace firefox | 18:47 |
| NAiL | should give you a crapload of info | 18:47 |
| NAiL | the most relevant stuff is usually at the end | 18:47 |
| sybariten | (for obvious reasons i cant google for examples on strace usage, and man files seldom contains examples.... for some reason.... | 18:47 |
| sybariten | NAiL: ok, like i thought, thanks | 18:47 |
| NAiL | np | 18:47 |
| sybariten | NAiL: uhm, yes... that truly is a so called "crapload".... hmm | 18:48 |
| bascule | strace firefox > firefox_dupmp.txt | 18:48 |
| sybariten | bascule: interesting, it doesnt treat STDOUT the normal way... that file becomes empty. And you still see the output in the shell | 18:50 |
| sybariten | i'll man that, theres probavly a dump option or sumthin | 18:50 |
| bascule | sybariten: oh, strace firefox -o firefox_dump.txt | 18:50 |
| nickrud | pvl1: not sure about that one, looking at stuf | 18:50 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, oh, well thank you | 18:51 |

| nickrud | pvl1: grep agpart /var/log/Xorg.0.log , does it say something about an error? | 18:56 |
| sybariten | ok now this was a *tad* bit cumbersome | 18:57 |
| bascule | Freakingme: or of course a specific rule *for* 10.0.0.2 further up the rules | 18:57 |
| sybariten | but i managed to get the output from strace, onto the pastebin....i think... http://en.pastebin.ca/875234 | 18:57 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, no, returns nothing | 18:57 |

| winther | hi | 18:58 |
| thiebaude | hi winther | 18:59 |
| Algyz | I installed ubuntu ultimate 1.6 in my neighbours laptop | 18:59 |
| Algyz | and nvidia mcp51 don't want to work :( | 18:59 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, says my 'screen' isnt dri capable which is something i highly doubt but http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53752/ | 18:59 |
| winther | a computer of my friend is freezing very often. I do not think that ubuntu is the cause since it ran with no errors before. Is there a way to check ram and hd for errors with the life cd? | 19:00 |
| matisse | how do i check my current up- and download amount ? Which proc do I have to read ? | 19:00 |
| Algyz | everything else is working very fine, wi-fi out of box, also irda | 19:00 |
| bascule | Freakingme: nor really, just probably cleaner | 19:00 |
| Freakingme | alright, tt | 19:00 |
| Freakingme | s/tt/ty | 19:00 |
| Algyz | winther, ramtest, when you start livecd | 19:00 |
| bascule | sybariten: the last 100? I don't see the SEGFAULT | 19:01 |
| winther | Algyz: thanks. Is there also a way to check the hd for bad sectors? | 19:01 |
| Algyz | anybody had problems with mcp51 on hp laptop? | 19:02 |
| sybariten | bascule: it *should* be everything... but emacs may have stolen soemthing in the process... i dont know.... | 19:02 |
| bascule | winther: seatools is the best by miles, google eit up, small ISO | 19:02 |
| Algyz | winther, I'm not sure :) | 19:02 |
| sybariten | let me see | 19:02 |
| winther | bascule: thank you very much | 19:02 |
| nickrud | pvl1: let me see your /etc/X11/xorg.conf , the aiglx thing comes after the dri should be enabled, so it's not the real error | 19:02 |
| Algyz | everything else is working good, and I'm not the very newbie, sitting on Ubuntu like 2 years | 19:03 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Can anyone point me to a nice tutorial for printing over a network? Like using a ubuntu computer as a print server for other computers, some running vista? | 19:03 |
| Leila | how do I know if my nvidia card was set up. I found the software in the repositories and it was installed. Is there a test I can run to see if I have 3d acceleration? | 19:03 |
| Algyz | winther, look for ultimate boot cd, hope, it'll help you ;) | 19:03 |

| TurtleBoots | can anyone here recommend a .avi converter for Ubuntu? | 19:04 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53754/ | 19:04 |
| === usta is now known as worgil | ||
| Algyz | winther, the main thing is to think, which words to type, while you're searching in google :D | 19:05 |
| Leila | Isn't there something called mesa that can be run to check 3d? | 19:05 |
| Algyz | TurtleBoots, "apt-cache search avi converter" | 19:05 |
| kinroad | winther: to check hd for bad sectors you could just use: e2fsck -fcc | 19:05 |
| nickrud | pvl1: try adding Section "DRI" <newline> Mode 0666 <newline>EndSection to the xorg.conf | 19:05 |
| sybariten | bascule: well i think my file is around 8k (the output) and it should go from "execve" down to "exit group" ... i frankly cant enter the pastebin page myself, i fed that from emacs into www.pastebin.ca via a script... and the paste into emacs may have fudged things up.... | 19:05 |
| winther | Algyz: yeah, but this is not exactly my area of expertise. So I go to the pros :) | 19:06 |
| winther | I will try that kinroad | 19:06 |
| TurtleBoots | Algyz: cheers mate | 19:06 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, iread that somewhere but got scared to do it. aight ill try it | 19:06 |
| nickrud | pvl1: of course, make a backup of the conf file first :) | 19:06 |
| bascule | sybariten: i just ran an strace myself on firefox, seems to generate very little once firefox starts, just reall logs the initial kick-off, odd | 19:06 |
| russ | Does anybody know of a program for ubuntu that joins mp3 files into one big file? | 19:07 |
| Algyz | TurtleBoots, seems vsound ;) | 19:07 |

| Zeldor | hi, does anyone know an dvbt viewer, wich works under ubuntu????? | 19:07 |

| Leila | there is a command line app that will join mp3 files, but you have to remove all the spaces. I don't remember exactly what it was called. | 19:09 |

| IndyGunFreak | Algyz: whats your sound device? | 19:10 |
| Algyz | I mean sound is working probably with conexant chip | 19:10 |

| matisse | how do i check my current up- and download amount ? Which proc do I have to read ? | 19:12 |
| bascule | Leila: there are simple bash loops for file renaming like that, or look at easytag, it renames mp3/ogg files to various different schemas, as will amarok IIRC | 19:12 |
| cparker | Does anyone know why my CD drive would be ripping CDs so slowly? Sound Juicer seems to rip at a max of 3.2x. | 19:13 |

| bascule | matisse: I really don't think speeds are logged like that | 19:16 |
| Algyz | IndyGunFreak, with xp no, with vista yes | 19:16 |
| nickrud | pvl1: I'm not sure what would be the problem, like I said I'm not real familiar with that chip. Just checked the obvious stuff with you. Sorry | 19:16 |
| kestir | oops, sorry, wrong channel | 19:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Algyz: so obviously the sound device isn't bad | 19:16 |
| adub | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/53759/ <--- i am getting compile errors for the program axfr errors on make | 19:16 |
| pvl1 | nickrud, oh well thanks anyway | 19:16 |
| matisse | bascule: then i was misunderstood | 19:16 |
| bjames | can someone do me a huge favour and try visiting: http://uclinux.org - I can't seem to get a connection and was wondering if the server is down | 19:16 |
| Algyz | ghmm, so what's the problem? I think something with alsa | 19:17 |
| matisse | i want to check the _amount_ of up and down | 19:17 |
| kestir | neat huh russ ? | 19:17 |
| KalEl | roger that, server down confirmed | 19:17 |
| russ | mbascule ok, I have read the manual pages related to cron and crontab but not too sure what to do. can you give me a simple example, say to schedule running "ls" 5 minutes from now? | 19:17 |
| JordanCason | bjames: server is down | 19:17 |
| bascule | matisse: the max possible at any givent time? | 19:17 |
| bjames | cheers all | 19:17 |

| matisse | bascule: wait a sec, i look in a dictionaryy | 19:18 |
| akromyk | hi. is this where I can ask for ubuntu help? | 19:18 |
| erUSUL | akromyk: yes | 19:18 |
| rsk | akromyk: correct | 19:18 |
| matisse | bascule: i want to see my traffic | 19:19 |
| Reggi1 | what extention does Ubuntu use? | 19:19 |
| rsk | Reggi1: what do you mean? | 19:19 |
| bascule | russ: sleep 300000 && ls <-- I'm being comical I know | 19:19 |
| nickrud | matisse: the total up/down bits for the lifetime of the connection? try adding network monitor to the panel, it shows it in the properties dialog | 19:19 |
| djzn | hello... I am using the LiveCD/Gutsy right now, and I want to make some tests with my sound card... for that, I need to insert new options in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base... BUT THEN, I have to remove the sound modules and re-load them again. The thing is, I can't remove the modules.... It won't let me.... what am I doing wrong? I select all sound related modules to remove in the rmmod line! | 19:19 |
| Reggi1 | Like for the files made for Ubuntu, what extention do they have? | 19:19 |
| bascule | matisse: then you need wireshark (gui) or iptraf (for shell) | 19:19 |
| rsk | Reggi1: there's nothing as files made for ubuntu really. | 19:19 |
| JordanCason | does any one know of a good web design app for Ubuntu | 19:19 |
| akromyk | i was in the middle of an install in the terminal and I selected the text and press CTRL+C to copy to the clipboard and now I found out I should have hit SHIFT+CTRL+C. Is there anyway to recover the install? | 19:20 |
| rsk | Reggi1: applications might do file extensions thou like openoffice would use whatever you saved it as | 19:20 |
| nickrud | JordanCason: the only really useful one is kompozer or maybe amaya | 19:20 |
| bascule | !aptfix | akromyk | 19:20 |
| ubotu | akromyk: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 19:20 |
| JordanCason | thanks nickrud | 19:20 |
| ouellettesr | hello, I can't figure out why my screensaveer won't activate, it fades out then before the screensaver activates it goes back to desktop | 19:21 |
| TheDarkKiller | Oh, I'm back | 19:21 |
| bascule | ouellettesr: doesn't like the OpenGL screensaver for one of many reasons, probably drivers | 19:21 |
| russ | bascule it would take some time to run your experiment, trying to get rid of me? | 19:22 |
| TheDarkKiller | I can get the audio to work if I directly set my device in the Sound Preferences, Auto detect doesnt seem to work. | 19:22 |
| bascule | russ: no, I thought that was milliseconds | 19:22 |
| nickrud | djzn: it's probably because the sound modules are in use. You can try to track down the apps using the modules, but for the sound ones it's easier to just reboot | 19:22 |
| theLichKing | anyone knows if pidgin supports offline messages for hotmail accounts? | 19:22 |
| ouellettesr | bascule, it did work before, im using the restricted drivers | 19:22 |
| akromyk | i would prefer to just start over again and remove the old install. It was for vmware workstation. How would I go about that? When I look in Add/Remove all I find is VMWare Player and not VMWare Workstation. I want to uninstall both | 19:22 |
| Ttech | theLichKing, #pidgin? | 19:22 |
| BernardB | theLichKing, it doesn't, to my knowledge | 19:23 |
| ouellettesr | bascule, I can see the preview and all too | 19:23 |
| djzn | nickrud: exactly they are in USE... however this is related to modules use only, e.g. snd uses snd_hda_intel, that uses snd_pcm, and so on, it's not related to ESD or other software right? | 19:23 |
| matisse | nickrud, bascule: sorry, my fault. I meant "ifconfig eth0 | grep MB" | 19:23 |
| bascule | matisse: ah | 19:23 |
| bascule | :) | 19:23 |
| spike | when gdm pops up it makes a sound, how do I disable it? it's not in preferences->sounds | 19:23 |
| nickrud | djzn: yes it can be. you can try lsof | grep snd , maybe it'll be an easy pkill of that app | 19:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | theLichKing: no, i think it does... | 19:24 |
| bascule | matisse: total used bandwidth | 19:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | no.. thats yahoo, my bad | 19:24 |
| nickrud | matisse: try the network monitor, add it to the panel. that data is in the properties dialog | 19:24 |
| djzn | nickrud: there is the mixerapp.. is it blocking it? | 19:25 |
| nickrud | djzn: yes it would be, it's using he sound subsystem (/dev/snd/<something>) | 19:25 |
| djzn | nickrud: is there any way to re-load the modules with alsa-base new options? | 19:25 |
| djzn | nickrud: it's a live cd, the system is not installed | 19:26 |
| ziinja | I have a hp compaq 2710p, I'm running Ubuntu 64 bit and lots of things arn't working, such as the graphics card and tablet pen. | 19:26 |
| nickrud | djzn: not sure how to restart the mixer_app after it's killed ... | 19:26 |
| TheDarkKiller | I got my sound problem fixed | 19:27 |
| djzn | nickrud: but by doing that, I am going to able to remove the modules? | 19:27 |
| TheDarkKiller | I had recently inserted a webcam with audio mic | 19:27 |
| ouellettesr | Hello, does anyone know why my screensaver would stop working? I can see the preview in full screen, but when my computer activates the screensaver after being idle, the display fades out, then immediately goes back to desktop | 19:27 |
| TheDarkKiller | And it seemed like Ubuntu thought it should use that device instead | 19:27 |
| bolt | I currently have a Windows machine set up with two graphics cards, one from nVidia and one from ATI. I use the low-end ATI card for my second monitor to get a second LUT so I can calibrate the two monitors independently. Is this an even remotely viable solution in Ubuntu or will I just run into a bunch of problems that nobody has ever had because I use both ATI and nVidia at the same time? | 19:28 |
| djzn | nickrud: OK, that clarified the problem.... | 19:28 |
| nickrud | djzn: that's actually mixer_applet2 (truncated in the lsof output) . | 19:28 |
| Woofsie | can anyone tell me how to install ubuntu without running it straight from the cd first? I don't have enough RAM for the trial thing.. | 19:29 |
| akromyk | found the unintall. it was in /usr/bin "sudo ./vmware-uninstall.pl" | 19:29 |
| akromyk | for vmware | 19:29 |
| nickrud | djzn: you can try killall mixer_applet2 , do the module remove and install , then run /usr/lib/gnome-applets/mixer_applet2 . Worth a try, since it's only the livecd | 19:29 |
| akromyk | cya guys later | 19:29 |

| abyss_ | why i have to install it? | 20:13 |
| stefg | mas: depends on what the machine does. by default a fresh install has no open ports, so not even a firewall is necessary. If you need ssh or any other remote services i'd consider buying a NAT router. Firewalls on the same machine don't make much sense | 20:13 |

| kestir | Hi, I set a window to skip the taskbar...then I minimized it. How do I get it back? | 20:24 |
| Dr_willis | Banjoe, no idea.. read its instqll docs if its not got a package . If it does have a package in the repos use apt-get | 20:24 |
| Dr_willis | !fins wakaba | 20:25 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fins wakaba - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:25 |
| Flare183 | kestir: alt+tab | 20:25 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: ATI Radeon XPRESS, but I don't think the hardware itself is the problem, as I have had it working fine with the same setup before. | 20:25 |
| profXavier | syntaxerror55, Flare183 maybe you two need to layoff | 20:25 |
| Seveas | syntaxerror55, chill out. He asked the bot 1 (ONE) thing. No need to !msgthebot him | 20:25 |
| Flare183 | ok sure | 20:25 |

| Dr_willis | !find wakaba | 20:25 |
| WONKER | may want to do a clean install of compiz-fusion m8 | 20:26 |
| ubotu | Package/file wakaba does not exist in gutsy | 20:26 |
| Flare183 | kestir: press and hold alt+tab until you find the application the it will switch too it, if it's not there then look at the system tray | 20:26 |
| WONKER | beryl was buggy on my system too with lost window bars,black windows ect | 20:26 |
| WONKER | compiz fusion runs very well and is a lot easier on the machine | 20:26 |
| kestir | Flare183: I know how to use alt-tab to switch between windows, but if you don't list it in the taskbar it won't be there | 20:26 |
| basem | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' | 20:27 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: that's not related to your video. you could try to d/l the super grub disk and see if it fixes it for you, or you can manually diagnose the problem by reading (and understanding) the grub docu | 20:27 |

| Travis_ | Hi i am trying to use "grep -v old filesin.txt > filesout.txt" to remove all lines with the word oldf rom filesin.txt and output to filesout.txt ---- this works fine but i also want to remove lines that contain the "under" - how can i do this without an extra command? | 20:27 |
| stefg | !grub | GreyWolfe | 20:27 |
| ubotu | GreyWolfe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 20:27 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: I don;t have a floppy drive on this computer, can I install SGD from a LiveCD? | 20:27 |
| === rwg is now known as rw-g | ||
| kestir | Flare183: try it | 20:27 |
| === rw-g is now known as rwg | ||
| Dr_willis | Travis_, a fancier regular expression.. but id just pipe it into another grep command. :) be easier | 20:28 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: you just boot from the SGD and it hopefully will fix your MBR | 20:28 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: I know how SGD works, but how can I boot from it without having a floppy or something? | 20:28 |
| Banjoe | Dr_wills : I have installed and used this program before, all you have to do is unzip the folders onto a server running MySQL and PHP and point everyhting to the proper ports and the sql server. I have always done this on free hosts but I saw that ubuntu server has the LAMP thing so i wanted to try that because i have never managed ot make apache or my SQL install properly. | 20:29 |
| Dr_willis | there are SGD live cd's | 20:29 |
| WONKER | <kestir> go to the taskbar and right click and select properties | 20:29 |
| Travis_ | Dr_willis yea but i have like 20 words to filter, so 20 commands would be kinda redundant | 20:29 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: it comes as a bootable CD | 20:29 |
| avery | I change my usplash using startup manager when am done compiz fusion is not working | 20:29 |
| johnathon | !identify | 20:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about identify - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:29 |
| WONKER | now you cann add the window switcher | 20:29 |
| WONKER | or whatever else you like | 20:29 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: Could i possibly format an mp3 playter to be a bootable drive, and put SGD on there? | 20:29 |
| Dr_willis | Travis_, you could make a really really complex regular expression then i guess.. or a loop ing shell script. or use awk/sed/perl | 20:30 |
| bascule | Travis_: grep "term 1 | term 2 | term 3 |" <blah> | 20:30 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: i wouldn't recommend that. Just burn a CD, you will need it more than once :-) | 20:30 |
| basem | the amsn dosnt show the letters | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | like bascule just mentioned. :) I aint got much grep-fu skills. | 20:30 |
| chazco | Anyone know if the .debs on the Flash thread will upgrade correctly when offical packages are released? | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | hope the matches dont filter out info you wantto keep by mistake. | 20:30 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: I am using a LiveCD and I only have the one CD Drive | 20:30 |
| Dr_willis | chazco, if they dont - You can just remove them first, then reinstall the new upgraded package | 20:31 |
| chazco | True, just wondering if anyone knew :) | 20:31 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: i see. so can you paste a 'sudo fdsik -l' output to !pastebin ? | 20:31 |
| rapousa | hi, i just installed ubuntu gutsy on my acer aspire 5720 laptop and the video playback isn't working. it's no codec hassle because i installed them all. can someone help me? | 20:31 |
| chazco | Currently got Flash manually installed though, but for the recovery CD a package would work better | 20:31 |
| GreyWolfe | sure | 20:31 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: that'S 'sudo fdisk -l' output to !pastebin ? | 20:32 |
| RequinB5 | chazco - probably not, but synaptic is pretty smart about making it work | 20:32 |
| WONKER | uh oh 2 my two year old got ahold of the vaseline,better go and clean it up lol | 20:32 |
| avery | I change my usplash using startup manager when am done compiz fusion is not working | 20:32 |
| nikoPSK | lol, we need 7 more people | 20:32 |

| mdnutu | i need to install application but i downloaded it by net and it like this amsn-0.97-1.tcl85.x86.package and it open with text editor and it cant read it how i can install it | 20:33 |
| bascule | Travis_: or for word in term1 term2 term3 ; do grep word <blah>; done | 20:33 |
| basem | how to mount iso file | 20:33 |
| Dr_willis | mdnutu, .package ar e special types of packages - you need to install some tools to use them | 20:33 |
| Travis_ | worked perfect thanks a lot! | 20:33 |
| Dr_willis | autopackage i think.. they got a web sute | 20:33 |
| abrini | hi can i ask here | 20:33 |
| rapousa | mdnutu, right-click on it, proprieties, give execution permissions and execute it | 20:33 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: so what i would need is a 'sudo fdisk -l' output and the /boot/grub/menu.lst of the installed system on pastebin. BTW how old is your Bios ? | 20:33 |
| chazco | basem - sudo mount -o loop iso_file_name mount_point | 20:33 |
| basem | chazco | 20:34 |
| basem | it give me that error | 20:34 |
| basem | bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' | 20:34 |
| Banjoe | dr_wills : did you get my last msg? | 20:34 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: Not sure on BIOS age, but the computer is only a couple years old | 20:34 |
| AlohaTelefon | i can't get flash working in opera | 20:34 |
| mdnutu | Dr_willis like what | 20:34 |
| chazco | !flashissue | 20:34 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 20:34 |
| rapousa | when i try to open a video, totem expels this to terminal: "sh: jackd: not found" What does that means? | 20:34 |
| Banjoe | Dr_willis : I have installed and used this program before, all you have to do is unzip the folders onto a server running MySQL and PHP and point everyhting to the proper ports and the sql server. I have always done this on free hosts but I saw that ubuntu server has the LAMP thing so i wanted to try that because i have never managed ot make apache or my SQL install properly. | 20:34 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: Had to go through all that crap with error 18, but i made a /boot partition | 20:34 |
| nikoPSK | yay hey Joeb454 | 20:34 |

| Dr_willis | mdnutu, http://autopackage.org/ | 20:35 |
| nikoPSK | noo | 20:35 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: some bios'ses simply can't access beyond cylinder 1024... so the /boot is best placed at the beginning of the hd (even before some windows partition | 20:35 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: That is how it set up, I have had it working with the setup I am using now | 20:35 |
| Guits | how do i know what zserve i am running... | 20:36 |

| Dr_willis | Guits, grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 20:37 |
| basem | mount: can't find broodwar in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 20:37 |
| basem | i got that error when i try to mount it | 20:37 |
| rapousa | profXavier, have you tried lspci -vv ? | 20:37 |
| bascule | profXavier: that really is all you nees | 20:37 |
| bascule | need | 20:37 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: http://pastebin.com/m54cb565d that's both outputs | 20:37 |
| basem | some one help me | 20:37 |
| WONKER | <profXavier> who made the PC, make model ect | 20:37 |
| profXavier | bascule, no its not actually | 20:37 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: k, let me see | 20:37 |
| bascule | profXavier: lspci -vv is enough info to write a driver :) | 20:37 |
| Seveas | profXavier, lspci -v | 20:38 |

| basem | help me to mount it | 20:38 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: so you have two harddisks, win on one and linux on the other ? | 20:38 |
| Dr_willis | basem, perhaps paste the exact command you are using to mount the thing? | 20:38 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: Correct | 20:38 |

| basem | ok give me the command | 20:38 |
| profXavier | hmm, doesnt tell me the model or anything else, just the lspci output, using the -verbose flag | 20:38 |
| linduxed | huge problem: when i adjust the volume on my laptop in too rapid fashion (2-3 clicks/sec) the entire computer dies in an instant | 20:38 |
| stefg | GreyWolfe: so my guess is that your bios swaps the drives around during boot. hd1 becomes 0 and hd0 becomes 1 | 20:39 |
| GreyWolfe | stefg: So I need to remap them? | 20:39 |

| GreyWolfe | stefg: Alright, I'm going to try rebooting now, see if that helps | 20:49 |
| Dr_willis | linrux, it grabs a image file.. whichis meaningless - thenr emoves your kernel. | 20:49 |

| joanki | hey - can anyone tell me the command to see how my drives are partitioned? | 21:11 |
| Seveas | joanki, fdisk -l | 21:11 |
| nemilar | joanki: fdisk -l will show you partitions | 21:11 |
| bascule | joanki: or cat /proc/partitions | 21:11 |

| CrazyWulf | How can I get Ubuntu to recognize my burner? | 21:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | kanuha Nope. I just forgot to type "/join #" before that. | 21:11 |
| nickrud | mc try writing a short bash script, like #!/bin/bash <newline> echo "I found it" and putting it in the new path directory. | 21:11 |
| joanki | thanks | 21:12 |
| joanki | sheesh three ways.... all work? | 21:12 |
| Akenhaten | what do i use to triple boot (vista, xp , ubuntu | 21:12 |
| nemilar | joanki: fdisk -l will show you all partitions | 21:12 |
| joanki | thx | 21:12 |
| mc_ | k | 21:12 |

| nickrud | joanki: sudo fdisk -l , only the cat /proc/partitions you were given would work | 21:12 |
| kanuha | ArthurArchnix, :>) | 21:12 |

| basem | how can i install package in my extended disk | 21:13 |
| mannytu | !VMware | 21:13 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.

| BillyAbobo | Hello, I installed Edgy a year ago. Would like to upgrade to Gutsy. Found out on the web, that they way to do this is to gksu \ldblquote update-manager -c \rdblquote and choose upgrade. I have to first go to Feisty, then to Gutsy. I am in the process of upgrading to Feisty, and it is downloading all the packages is needs. This process is taking a very long time. Since I have a Gutsy LiveCD, when I go from Feisty to Gutsy, is there an | 21:15 |

| TheZealot | Anyone know why everytime I restart my machine ubuntu automatically resets my screen resolution to 1152X864 when it should be 1440x900 - and I have to reset it every time manually | 21:15 |
| CrazyWulf | :/ | 21:15 |
| nickrud | BillyAbobo: not with the live cd | 21:15 |
| mc_ | nickrud: tried that interesting thing i made script, then chmod u+x it if i type test (name of script) it doesn't print anything but ./test does | 21:15 |
| Akenhaten | what should i use to triple boot (vista, xp , ubuntu) | 21:15 |
| linduxed | if my computer died abruptly, where or what log do i consult for explanation? | 21:15 |
| === kristoffer is now known as Airborne | ||
| ArthurArchnix | CrazyWulf: Do a sudo lshw, scroll down to your make model, type that into google and hit + ubuntu. See if anyone else has gotten the model working? | 21:16 |
| Seveas | BillyAbobo, you've just gotta sit it out... | 21:16 |
| Airborne | i have ubuntu and xp doing a dual boot but i am about to reinstall xp and last time i did that it killed grub. how do i get grub back? | 21:16 |
| nickrud | mc_: try cd ~ , then run it. Make sure you're not in the same dir. But it seems that there is something wrong with your path yet | 21:16 |

| joanki | i installed vitualbox and gave it 10GB.... but how do i know which partition it took it out of? it didn't even ask me??? this is how my disks are partitioned: http://pastebin.com/m77c28756 | 21:16 |
| verb3k | Airborne, install it again from the LiveCD after installing xp | 21:16 |
| BillyAbobo | Thanks for the replies, just wanted to check. Seems awfully inefficient. | 21:16 |
| mc_ | nickrud: if i do that it outputs nothing and typing ./test gives no such file or directory | 21:17 |
| Airborne | thanks i will try those sites | 21:17 |
| brobostigon | Akenhaten: triple boot is the same as dual boot, just with three insted of 2 OS, just make sure windows install first, linux 2nd, and that grub is properly setup after all that. | 21:17 |
| bladezor | Does anyone know better alternatives to VNC? I need one that can capture OpenGL and DX. | 21:17 |
| tehdave | Is there an IRC channel for Teamspeak support? otherwise, does anyone know if there's a way to connect teamspeak to a ventrilo server? | 21:17 |

| Akenhaten | brobostigon: how do i set up the grub? i have easyBCD on vista | 21:18 |
| === teeler is now known as teel3r | ||
| nickrud | mc_: yes I would agree ~ doesn't have test in it, that's why ./test didn't work (./ means current directory) | 21:18 |
| joanki | i wanted root to be 14gb, swap to be 2 gb, home to be the rest with 10 gb of home to be going to virtualbox.... looking at my pastebin post, is that what happened???? http://pastebin.com/m77c28756 | 21:18 |

| ArthurArchnix | They should add herman's blog to that list of links for grub | 21:18 |
| nickrud | mc_: so make a short script that does cd to the right directory, then runs the program with ./ see if that works | 21:18 |
| axel-fr | hello, is there anyone here with Macbook with Ubuntu and Mac OSX partition, and who would be okay to send me the iSight firmware ?? | 21:18 |
| Bax_ | what's the best latex compiler and editor that works for ubuntu, specifically the fiesty version? | 21:19 |
| mc_ | nickrud: so why even when i'm in the same folder would the script not output anything when run using 'test' but would when using './test' ??? | 21:19 |
| basem | how can i mount iso file locate in my extended disk | 21:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | Nevermind. They link to herman's page on that link. | 21:20 |

| nixnewb | Howdy! How do I restart a program (vsftpd) running through xinetd? | 21:20 |

| ThipThip | Hey everybody. So it seems there's no way to get a transparent background in Nautilus, is that correct? If so, is there an alternative file browser that would give a similar folder-like view but with a transparent background? Or, is there a way in compiz to make one color of a window show as transparent? | 21:20 |
| joanki | ugh i got booted | 21:20 |
| Fix_Win_assistan | nixnewb: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart | 21:21 |
| matt__ | can i install wine on an ubuntu 64bit install? | 21:21 |
| basem | how can i mount iso file locate in my extended disk | 21:21 |
| dreamnid | matt__: yes | 21:21 |
| matt__ | dreamnid: will it work just as good as on a 32 bit install? | 21:21 |
| mc_ | but my path is /home/D/dsss/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games | 21:21 |
| ThipThip | matt__ yeah it works great. Er, as well as wine works. | 21:21 |
| nixnewb | Fix_Win)assistan, Thanks so much!!! | 21:21 |
| axel-fr | Hi, no one on a Macbook here ? with OSX partition ? | 21:21 |

| bascule | mc_: no . in there is there ? :) | 21:22 |
| joanki | when virtual box installs, where does it take space from??? | 21:22 |
| joanki | i wanted it to take from home.... how can i be sure it did that? | 21:22 |
| mannytu | wow | 21:22 |
| ThipThip | matt__ very far from perfect of course, but impressive nonetheless | 21:22 |
| dreamnid | joanki, usually in home | 21:22 |
| matt__ | so is there anything that i may not like about 64 bit? i mean...is there any "problems" with a 64 bit install, like software issues, etc? | 21:22 |

| bascule | Fix_Win_assistan: ntfsfix /dev/<ntfs_partition> | 21:23 |
| ThipThip | matt__: The most distinct issue I continue to run into is that there doesn't seem to be a fool-proof version of flash available. | 21:23 |
| matt__ | dreamnid: hmmm....any "workarounds" | 21:23 |
| joanki | dreamnid, thx | 21:23 |
| Databoy2k | matt__: On occasion you get driver issues (I never got ATI's restricted drivers working) but you should be ok | 21:23 |
| axel-fr | Hi, no one on a Macbook here ? with OSX partition ? | 21:23 |
| Fix_Win_assistan | bascule. cool thanks.. is that a program on the live cd? | 21:23 |
| bascule | Fix_Win_assistan: shouild be, it's on knoppix | 21:23 |
| matt__ | Databoy2k: i'll give it a try...perhaps. | 21:23 |
| ArthurArchnix | Fix_Win_assistan: I'd use a linux rescue cd, not ubuntu live cd for that kind of task. | 21:23 |
| nixnewb | is there default ftp servers and stuff ubuntu officially reccomends? | 21:24 |
| ThipThip | matt__: If you have a 64-bit processor, don't think twice about using the 64-bit version. That's my advice. | 21:24 |
| emma | I've been told many times that going with 64 bit is a mistake. For the typical desktop user there is little to gain but headaches. | 21:24 |
| Fix_Win_assistan | bascule: ArthurArchnix just trying to copy off some stuff then reimage it AGAIN for my neighbor. | 21:24 |
| adeli1 | I recently put my dvd drive back into my computer, but now the right-click to burn iso is missing. :( how do I get that back? | 21:24 |
| dreamnid | matt__: Yeah... I actually got everything to work two days ago... although I didn't really write it down | 21:25 |
| ThipThip | emma, matt__: I was told the same thing, but my experience doesn't fit that story. Yes, it takes some tweaking and customization, but that's Ubuntu, no? The performance of the 64-bit version is just.... so.... great. | 21:25 |
| matt__ | ThipThip: you nean...go for it? i'm pretty sure i've got one...according to wikipedia it is. only odd thing...i got this machine from dell with ubuntu, it had 32 bit on it. | 21:25 |
| matt__ | dreamnid: ThipThip [ ] ubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent that what i want? | 21:25 |
| dreamnid | right | 21:25 |
| bascule | ThipThip: is it worth if for a core2duo? | 21:25 |
| dreamnid | if you wanted the 64bit version | 21:25 |
| mc_ | man this is messed up i just renamed the script foobar to be sure it can't conflict with any other program name permissions are 755 i'm in the same folder as the script typing foobar gives command not found but ./foobar works *sighs* | 21:25 |
| ThipThip | matt__: Yes that's the one I'm using. | 21:25 |
| adeli1 | or, is there a way to upgrade from 32-bit version to 64 bit version without reinstalling? | 21:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | Fix_Win_assistan: If bascule's command works, great. But it's possible that a bug in the live cd is the cause. Better to use a linux distro designed and tested for the task at hand, than use a live cd to suit your purposes. If bascule's command doesn't help, download and burn the linux rescue disc. | 21:25 |
| emma | ThipThip, that's interesting. But you were able to get Flash working consistently in all applications? | 21:26 |
| nickrud | mc_: that's a sure sign something is wrong with the path | 21:26 |
| phenom | ThipThip, /i don't believe you can do transparent, but you can add your desktop background picture to it? | 21:26 |
| bascule | mc_:export PATH=$PATH:'.' | 21:26 |
| ThipThip | bascule: I have no idea. I'm quite new to Ubuntu and I have a dual-core AMD. I know that I have managed in only about a week to get it running pretty much perfectly. | 21:26 |
| nickrud | mc_: don't do that :) | 21:26 |
| bascule | m | 21:26 |
| mc_ | can i nuke my path and recreate it | 21:26 |
| bascule | nickrud: it's temporary | 21:26 |
| matt__ | ThipThip: dreamnid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_Dual-Core_microprocessors ----> e2160, that would be a 64bit, correct? | 21:26 |
| havfunonline | Seveas are you around? | 21:27 |
| ThipThip | phenom: I don't use a desktop picture, just a transparent cube. Thanks for the eventual answer. :-) Do you know of an alternative file browser? It's a bit dizzying trying to google this. | 21:27 |
| Arelis | Hi all. Beagle's indexed stuff i did not want it to index. How do i remove that stuff from the index? | 21:27 |
| nickrud | mc_: cd ~ , then try the foobar , as bascule pointed out the current directory is not on the path | 21:27 |
| khirr | my monitor allow 1680*1050 but now is 1280x1024, how can i force that? | 21:27 |
| ThipThip | emma: No that's the one problem I'm having. I mean, I can get flash working in all applications, but I seem to have to install different versions for different situations. | 21:27 |
| nickrud | bascule: true, but he might make it permanent, should have been more clear in my response. Sorry | 21:27 |
| bascule | mc_: copy it to /home/D/dsss/bin | 21:27 |
| dreamnid | matt_ looks like it | 21:27 |
| Sonjaaa | how do i mass rotate 500 pictures 90 degrees clockwise and convert them to black-and-white? | 21:27 |

| dreamnid | matt__: I think so | 21:28 |
| adeli1 | how do I switch distributions? | 21:29 |
| dreamnid | matt__: err... motherboard? | 21:29 |
| khirr | can help me? | 21:29 |
| mc_ | it gives command not found even in the same folder | 21:29 |
| phenom | ThipThip, I wouldn't dare use another browser personally, I have quite a few nautilus scripts tied up in to it already. As far as I know Nautilus is the most customizable file browser on linux. /i may be wrong, but I haven't used many other to be able to suggest another. | 21:29 |

| ThipThip | matt__ People complain about Java for 64-bit, and I will admit that I had to mess with it a bit, but it seems work fine now. Flash is less consistent. | 21:29 |
| matt__ | dreamnid: not sure....exactly...something dell gave me. i'll look into that later. | 21:29 |
| nickrud | mc_: now the output of pwd while you are in your home | 21:29 |
| matt__ | ThipThip: i'll have the pleasure of trying all that out in a few momments...thanks guys dreamnid | 21:29 |

| marsmissions | Flare183, saveas: he has already join #ubuntu-jp he was thanking you. | 21:40 |
| dn7 | i was wondering if you have any ideas how to install ubuntu on a SATA drive.. or any linux at all | 21:40 |
| Seveas | marsmissions, ah, thanks for the translation :) | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | marsmissions: oh ok tell him your welcome | 21:40 |

| dn7 | all i got was a backported image of debian stable.. which sux :D | 21:40 |
| Seveas | dn7, ubuntu should install fine on sata drives | 21:40 |
| Seveas | I do that all the time :) | 21:40 |
| havfunonline | anyone know much about wireless networking? | 21:40 |
| Dextorion | helu. Im having troubles with ati drivers here.. I've installed ati restricted driver thingies.. now, every now and then, when i boot up i get only low-graphics mode.. | 21:40 |
| dn7 | i tested some strange windows-like 'wubu' just to try the sata thingy | 21:40 |
| dreamnid | yeah, you don't have to do anything special for sata drives | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | havfunonline: I know some | 21:40 |
| benanzo | I've begun a job that will require me to do some network troubleshooting from DOS -- I'm not very familiar with it however so I'd like to use something like 'dosemu' or FreeDOS to learn. However, when I installed dosemu it doesn't include the core network utils like ping etc. Is there a way to install those? | 21:40 |
| Flare183 | rbb | 21:40 |
| Dextorion | and every now and then it works | 21:41 |
| havfunonline | I have an external and internal wireless network card and neither work | 21:41 |
| Flare183 | crap | 21:41 |
| Flare183 | brb | 21:41 |
| dn7 | but got the same message i got when i tried to install debian .. | 21:41 |
| benanzo | I really don't want to have to use vmware or similar if I can help it | 21:41 |
| ThipThip | nickrud: Well I'm trying to have different launchers on each side my cube. I quickly ruled out having different icons on the desktops, and in fact I really like having a completely transparent desktop so that I can see the different sides of the cube as I work. I next tried Screenlets, but they are a bit buggy - especially in the case of any kind of crash or abnormality, when they tend to "forget" which viewport they were on. So, | 21:41 |
| ThipThip | my next thought was to run nautilus on each desktop and make the backgroudn transparent. It seems I cannot do this. Any other solution? | 21:41 |
| Seveas | benanzo, try a dos help channel | 21:41 |
| clsdaniel | khirr: http://pastebin.com/m454e3fe | 21:41 |
| Dextorion | Anyone else have crazy.. random problems with ati drivers? | 21:42 |
| nickrud | ThipThip: not yet. I've been waiting for custom icons/panels per desktop for a very long time. Don't expect to see them any time soon | 21:42 |
| ThipThip | dn7: I'm currently running Gutsy on an SATA. | 21:42 |
| Seveas | Dextorion, only with compiz | 21:42 |
| Dextorion | If they at least would not work at all.. would've been better. hehe :) | 21:42 |
| clsdaniel | I merged my options, should work now, however beware if xorg overwrites your xorg.conf | 21:42 |
| kane77 | is it just me or does totem has worse quality than (s)mplayer? | 21:42 |
| khirr | <clsdaniel> should i put that? | 21:42 |
| havfunonline | seveas I was called sam___ earlier, are you very busy? | 21:42 |
| Dextorion | Seveas, oh.. like.. sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt? | 21:42 |
| nickrud | kancerman: not just you | 21:42 |
| ThipThip | nickrud: And no workaround spare gDesklets and screenlets, both of which are pretty buggy? That's really too bad. | 21:42 |
| Seveas | Dextorion, yeah, ati drivers are quite bad | 21:42 |
| nickrud | kane77: erm, not just you sorry kancerman | 21:42 |
| Seveas | havfunonline, always busy here :) | 21:43 |
| Dextorion | Seveas, indeed.. hrm.. | 21:43 |

| Fix_Win_assistan | bascule.. ok I'm having issues mounting the windows volume I'm trying to get at.. made a directory /media/win and tried to mount it there through the gui. nothing.. any help would be appriciated | 21:43 |
| clsdaniel | khirr: yeah, just overwrite your xorg.conf file with the new one, it justs adds a few modelines | 21:43 |
| havfunonline | seveas, I tried what you said and it didn't work. When I plug my external wireless network card in, it shows up in the manual conigration bit, and has my network (which I didn't type in) in a drop down menu, surely that means I should be able to use it? | 21:44 |
| khirr | okay, i'll try this now | 21:44 |

| EruditeHermit | hi, what does a package status of pi mean? | 21:44 |
| kane77 | ThipThip, nickrud, in totem there are very visible artefacts.. haven't compared really to vlc, I liked vlc, but adding subtitles there has to be done when you load a movie (which is pita)... | 21:44 |
| nickrud | ThipThip: what I ended up doing was having practically no icons on my desktop (usually just remote servers) and a single panel at the bottom with minimal stuff. If I can't have fancy custom, I'll have nothing | 21:44 |

| nickrud | ThipThip: I find myself using alt-f2 command name anyway, it's usually faster than moving my hand to the mouse | 21:45 |

| havfunonline | seveas. when I had Wicd it showed up on the list of available wireless networks, but then wouldn't connect on the obtaining IP address bit. I tried to do it manually and Wicd no longer worked. I can't convince network manager to use my eth1 port as wireless i don't think | 21:45 |
| cadorett | PulseAudio will let me play music at the same time? | 21:45 |

| ThipThip | nickrud: Yeah I am finding that as well. I'm just trying to really keep myself organized, and I'm loving the division-of-labor of the various sides of the cube. I just wish each one could "feel" more like the task I want it to embody. | 21:46 |
| bascule | cox377: and some bash | 21:46 |

Is there a problem with the servers? Is their an alternate way to update to 7.10 without reinstalling Ubuntu? | 23:01 |

| lusepuster | gnr, if the man pages are too large, you can often try and do a command --help , they will give you a brief overview of the command, saving the in-depth description for the man pages | 23:08 |
| phroughy | jfactor, okay, do you have universe enabled? | 23:08 |
| lusepuster | so try and run mv --help , for instance | 23:08 |
| JFactor | I dont know | 23:08 |
| * phenom gives Ubuntu a noogie :/ | 23:08 | |
| JFactor | I think so | 23:08 |

| ThipThip | bascule: OK, see, what i want to do is close a particular nautilus window based on its title. From what I can tell, killall can only kill all nautilus windows, no? | 23:09 |
| JFactor | ok should I just run this then | 23:09 |

| bascule | ThipThip: kill `ps aux | grep <title> | cut -d -f 5` i reckon | 23:13 |
| ThipThip | basule: whoa now, can you help me with "cut"? This is new territory for me. what is -d -f 1, etc? | 23:13 |
| JFactor | phroughy: alright now how do we do that | 23:13 |
| syntaxerror55 | protcront: things done in Wine don't affect Linux | 23:13 |

| dn4 | Flannel, or | 23:15 |

| ian07 | please I need help setting up shared internet connection, my computer has 2 NICs | 23:16 |
| nickrud | isleshocky77: that means configured but not installed, means you had it installed once but removed all but the config | 23:16 |
| phroughy | JFactor: isleshocky77 when aptitude has conflicts can't you press ! to see them? | 23:16 |
| JFactor | it says that bcm43xx-fwcutter is not found | 23:17 |
| techgeek40 | I have a question - under Windows XP and Vista, my network (internet) is FAST - but under ubuntu it is slow - any suggestions? | 23:17 |
| isleshocky77 | nickrud: ok, well it stopped working. So I tried removing it and reinstalling, but everytime I get an error about openssh-client | 23:17 |
| phroughy | JFactor: did "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" work? | 23:17 |

| techgeek40 | bascule: How would I find the MTU - in windows I would know how - but in linux lol nope | 23:18 |
| phenom | Restarting x fixed me up :/ :) | 23:18 |
| bascule | techgeek40: ifconfig | 23:18 |
| nickrud | phenom: cool, that means I have only a week to wait before updating (waiting for more errors :) | 23:18 |
| JFactor | phroughy: ok I typed that in and it extracted some things | 23:18 |
| ian07 | Don't bother its an IRC hangout channel it was misspelled as Support. I've been here for an 30 an hour and no one is willing to help | 23:19 |
| isleshocky77 | nickrud: Will do right now. | 23:19 |
| syntaxerror55 | Is there any place where I can _buy_ Ubuntu CDs? (not in 20 packs) | 23:19 |

| phroughy | JFactor: k now do this: "sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/`uname -r` /path/to/bcml5.sys" | 23:19 |
| branstrom | So, any gurus out there, what hostnames should I use on a LAN? Avahi seems to not want me to use .local. | 23:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | ian07: maybe nobody wants to because of your attitude. | 23:19 |
| syntaxerror55 | ian07: it could be that no one knows the answer. | 23:19 |
| MrObvious | ian07: It's not that we're willing to help, but maybe we don't know the answer. | 23:19 |

| nickrud | ian07: this is just a bunch of volunteers, the specific knowledge available varies on who is hanging around | 23:20 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: BCM chipset problems? | 23:20 |

| JFactor | MrObvious: yes BCM chipset problems | 23:21 |
| phroughy | MrObvious: i did it with my brother and it worked too | 23:21 |
| syntaxerror55 | !hi | Louis | 23:21 |
| ubotu | Louis: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 23:21 |
| bascule | IndyGunFreak: that's nasty :)) | 23:21 |
| magnetron | syntaxerror55: sure. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase has a list of vendors-. | 23:21 |
| JFactor | MrObvious: BCM4328 | 23:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | eh, we all gotta learn not to be a prick. | 23:22 |
| bascule | techgeek40: sudo ifconfig eth0 MTU 1464 | 23:22 |

| heartsblood | If you install something from source following typical install parameters; ./configure && make && make install. Is it possible to then uninstall? | 23:22 |
| ian07 | whats a root terminal? | 23:22 |
| phroughy | JFactor: i think you need to reboot now | 23:22 |

| JFactor | ok | 23:23 |
| ian07 | how do I get to root terminal? | 23:23 |
| soundray | techgeek40: check man ifconfig | 23:23 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: You don't need a reboot. | 23:23 |
| linxeh | ian07: sudo -H -s | 23:23 |
| JFactor | Alright | 23:23 |
| phroughy | ian07: in ubuntu, there is no root, you use sudo | 23:23 |
| techgeek40 | I get this when I do the sudo ifconfig eth0 MTU 1464 | 23:23 |
| syntaxerror55 | IndyGunFreak: I probably would have acted the same, but not admitted to it in the channel. ;D | 23:23 |
| techgeek40 | MTU: Unknown host | 23:23 |
| techgeek40 | ifconfig: `--help' gives usage information. | 23:23 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: Did you extract the files to some Linux modules directory? I forget what it is. | 23:23 |

| isleshocky77 | Phoenigore: http://isleshocky77.pastebin.us/?show=d4d1e07b9 | 23:23 |
| syntaxerror55 | magnetron: I'm going to go with yes. | 23:23 |
| heartsblood | Phroughy: there is no such thing as "no root" when refering to linux. | 23:23 |
| phroughy | linxeh: yes but the root account is technically disabled | 23:23 |
| linxeh | phroughy: and there is a root... it just has no password by default | 23:23 |
| JFactor | I dont know, they extracted somewhere | 23:24 |
| MrObvious | phroughy: Sorry I'm taking over but I have some experience in both ndiswrapper and fwcutter. | 23:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | !sudo | ian07 | 23:24 |
| ubotu | ian07: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 23:24 |
| MrObvious | phroughy: If you want I'll stop. | 23:24 |
| bascule | techgeek40: well stops packet fragmentation hopefully, which is a guess at the cause of the slowness | 23:24 |
| ThipThip | bascule: is there no command in linux to just close, not kill? | 23:24 |
| phroughy | MrObvious: no, be my guest | 23:24 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: What exact command did you use? | 23:24 |
| isleshocky77 | nickrud: It's just a basic Ubuntu server install. So whatever is default. | 23:24 |
| linxeh | ian07: at a terminal window, type sudo -H -s | 23:24 |
| bascule | ThipThip: not that I know of | 23:24 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: Which exact fwcutter command I mean. | 23:24 |
| Sepheebear | ian07: have u taken a look at: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html ? | 23:24 |
| soundray | ian07: go to Applications-Accessories-Terminal, in there enter "sudo -i", that will give you a root shell | 23:24 |
| phroughy | MrObvious: sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/`uname -r` /path/to/bcml5.sys | 23:24 |

| ian07 | "Note: Type all the following commands in a root terminal, DO NOT use sudo." how do I use root terminal without it? | 23:25 |
| phroughy | MrObvious: and sudo bcm43xx-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/ /path/to/bcml5.sys | 23:25 |
| JFactor | gimme a sec | 23:25 |
| JFactor | I will check | 23:25 |
| magnetron | syntaxerror55: "go with yes"? | 23:25 |
| syntaxerror55 | ian07: konsole has root terminal functionality | 23:25 |
| Creed | When using mkfs -t ext3, do I just do the -j switch to turn journaling on? | 23:25 |
| nickrud | isleshocky77: hm. unable to make backup link of `./usr/bin/ssh' before installing new version: Operation not permitted is what I'm looking at. type mount in a terminal, and pastebin the output | 23:25 |
| ian07 | ok thank you | 23:25 |
| astro76 | ThipThip: kill with no options is a SIGTERM which is a graceful shutdown | 23:25 |
| soundray | Louis: the / is wrong. | 23:25 |
| syntaxerror55 | magnetron: I once got scammed on the internet and try to verify the legitness of places I buy from. | 23:25 |
| Sepheebear | ian07: in terminal type 'sudo -s <enter>' gives you a root shell | 23:25 |
| astro76 | ThipThip: kill -9 on the other hand kills immediately | 23:25 |
| bascule | techgeek40: ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492 | 23:26 |

| ian07 | thank you | 23:26 |
| Louis | Sorry That was a typo I dont have a/ in there | 23:26 |
| phenom | ian07, Use if and whenever possible. | 23:26 |
| soundray | Sepheebear: please don't recommend sudo -s as it gives you a mixed environment (sudo -i is safer) | 23:26 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: Yeah just modprobe bcm43xx (or is it bcm43xx-fwcutter? lol) | 23:26 |
| bascule | ThipThip: well pressing x does stuff via widgets, not accessible from bash | 23:26 |
| syntaxerror55 | magnetron: okay, thank you. I can't download CDs because of my 200MB d/l threshold, and my CD burner doesn't even work. | 23:26 |
| phenom | ian07, Use sudo if and whenever possible. *rather | 23:26 |
| Sepheebear | soundray: oh i didnt know that thanks | 23:27 |
| JFactor | I dont know which | 23:27 |
| techgeek40 | bascule: no errors - also checking some forums on it | 23:27 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: Just bcm43xx | 23:27 |
| techgeek40 | But thank you for the help - | 23:27 |
| JFactor | ok | 23:27 |
| magnetron | syntaxerror55: good luck. | 23:27 |
| bascule | techgeek40: didn't make it quicker then? | 23:27 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: modprobe bcm43xx as root (sudo) and then the little icon in the corner that controls networks should start detecting SSIDs. | 23:27 |
| techgeek40 | No still SLOW - | 23:27 |
| nickrud | isleshocky77: ok it is mounted rw (first line after the mount command) . Not sure yet why the filesystem wouldn't allow you to create a link. | 23:27 |

| mcunixjr | imm just impatient | 23:28 |
| JFactor | nothing happens when I type that in | 23:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 23:28 |
| bascule | techgeek40: try different mtu settings, and download someting via wget so you get feedback on the speeds | 23:28 |
| MrObvious | ThipThip: ps aux | grep (processname) should help, then just get the process ID number then kill PID# | 23:28 |
| mcunixjr | using add/remove apps, wine is at 13kb speed | 23:29 |

| ThipThip | MtObvious: But how can I do it in one line with no need for intervention? | 23:29 |
| isleshocky77 | nickrud: I think I figued it out. | 23:29 |
| soundray | ThipThip: you want to close, not kill. I don't think metacity gives you any option to close a window via commandline | 23:29 |
| techgeek40 | Okay will do | 23:29 |
| JFactor | MrObvious: it just goes back to the terminal | 23:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | Louis: don't bother. get a gusty CD | 23:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | and fresh install. | 23:29 |

| BenderUnit22 | phroughy: usually I get beaten, so I don't mind. :) | 23:32 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: :/ | 23:32 |
| dreamnid | heartsblood: consider using checkinstall instead of make install in the future | 23:33 |
| soundray | heartsblood: if make uninstall won't work, you have to examine the Makefile and undo everything that it did by hand | 23:33 |
| MrObvious | JFactor: I guess dmesg | less and put it on a pastebin for me. | 23:33 |
| heartsblood | yea that's what I thought but make uninstall returns no target uninstall :9 | 23:33 |

| nickrud | Ivy_Mike: that link I gave you will tell you how to get it | 23:45 |
| RequinB5 | Fryguy-- - Ok, well are there any alternative ways for me to get this driver? I don't have time right now to try and walk through the difficulty the R Drivers manage ris giving me | 23:45 |
| Ivy_Mike | cool, ta. | 23:45 |
| msub | i guess i spent too much time on windows | 23:45 |
| JFactor | MrObvious: I am having trouble copying it all | 23:45 |
| JFactor | it is verylong | 23:45 |
| JFactor | and the terminal wont allow me to select all | 23:45 |
| pazsion | need help setting up ppp server.. goggling stuff now... | 23:45 |
| Fryguy-- | RequinB5: the restricted drivers manager takes like 2 seconds to get working correctly, and is by far the easiest solution to getting proprietary drivers loaded | 23:45 |
| ian07 | I don't know how you guys do... this is so confuzing.. all I wanna do is enable shared internet connection.. | 23:45 |
| techgeek40 | Ivy_Mike; you can try this too | 23:45 |

| jrib | chippy: read 'help history' to see how you can view all of your history using the history command. 'history 1' should work | 23:46 |
| chippy | Fryguy--, cat seems to work, thanks... although it does scroll off the terminal window buffer | 23:46 |
| chippy | jrib, will do, thanks | 23:46 |
| Fryguy-- | chippy: so then use a pager | 23:46 |
| RequinB5 | Fryguy--: Thanks i guess, i'll work on getting that to work then | 23:46 |
| BlackOut | soundray: well it did not freeze, it's still going, but very slowly. There is no way I can see if I can speed it up? | 23:46 |
| Fryguy-- | chippy: like less, or more, or whatever, or use grep to search. | 23:46 |
| dreamnid | chippy : cat .bash_history | less | 23:46 |
| soundray | ian07: maybe you aren't quite cut out for Linux yet? | 23:46 |
| suiza90 | Hello! | 23:46 |
| phroughy | hey i'm having trouble getting my synaptics touchpad driver to work (so i can do things like scroll) | 23:46 |
| RequinB5 | hello suiza90 | 23:46 |
| erUSUL | ian07: firestarter can configure shared inet conection afaik | 23:46 |
| dreamnid | chippy : or to view the top: cat .bash_history | head | 23:46 |

| ubotu | ian07: 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). | 23:46 |

| ubotu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 23:47 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: the problem with that install is the libdvdcss is old | 23:47 |
| Ivy_Mike | novel. | 23:47 |
| suiza90 | Finland? | 23:47 |
| pazsion | !dialup | 23:47 |
| ubotu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 23:47 |
| soundray | BlackOut: I wouldn't risk such manipulations during a sensitive operation like that | 23:47 |
| Ivy_Mike | despite installing libdvdcss from that page, totem still isnt playing. | 23:47 |
| ian07 | Probly, why does it have to be so hard to enable shared internet connection all I wanna do is bridge it to my other network card. windows made it easy to bridge | 23:47 |
| Ivy_Mike | and ironically its still asking for libdvdcss. | 23:47 |
| BlackOut | soundray: so is there anything I can do next time I might do something like this to prevent this from happening? | 23:47 |
| techgeek40 | I just saw that - sorry :< | 23:47 |
| chippy | thanks dreamnid, Fryguy-- :) | 23:47 |
| techgeek40 | I know there was a website that I used and it worked wonders | 23:48 |
| dreamnid | np | 23:48 |
| techgeek40 | Walked me through the whole thing | 23:48 |
| soundray | BlackOut: are you planning to move filesystems routinely? | 23:48 |
| Fryguy-- | ian07: because bridging a network connection is a pretty advanced networking operation. If you are so happy with the way windows did it for you, why not just continue to use windows ? | 23:48 |
| jrib | Ivy_Mike: did you try ejecting and reinserting your dvd? | 23:48 |
| BlackOut | soundray: No, but I do it enough, once a month about, so I want to prevent this from happening again. | 23:48 |
| Ivy_Mike | i didnt. will now. | 23:48 |
| soundray | BlackOut: do you boot from a live CD to do it? | 23:49 |
| ian07 | how do you get it and install firestarter? | 23:49 |
| BlackOut | soundray: yes I am on a LiveCD right now infact | 23:49 |
| jga | anybody able to get a static ip working with a wireless card? | 23:49 |
| JFactor | MrObvious: I am so lost | 23:49 |
| Ivy_Mike | right, a second issue. | 23:50 |
| rawb | is there a way to just get one big list of all installed applications on my system (server)? | 23:50 |
| Ivy_Mike | after playing a video, or dvd, or using gimp like i am now with the whole dvd issue, my comp slows to a crawl. | 23:50 |
| Ivy_Mike | and top reveals nothing. | 23:50 |
| Ivy_Mike | any ideas? | 23:50 |

| === Keigo-kun_ is now known as Keigo-kun | ||
| Fryguy-- | Siph0n: no that wouldn't be your second hard drive | 23:51 |
| soundray | BlackOut: two suggestions: find out how the live CD is accessing the hard disk (hdparm and friends). Consider moving the data as files instead of blockwise as gparted does | 23:51 |

| Fryguy-- | Siph0n: might give you what you are looking for, or take a look in fstab to see if it got detected and set up for you | 23:52 |
| pazsion | I have setup a room for #ubuntuserver please join that room if would like to help setup a linux server | 23:52 |
| phroughy | i have followed the guide at the ubuntu wiki, but it still complains about SHMconfig and the driver is not working | 23:52 |
| Siph0n | Fryguy--, it isn't in fstab.... and df doesn't show it... | 23:52 |
| jrib | phroughy: hardy support in #ubuntu+1 only | 23:53 |

| NemesisD | anyone know why rsync would be ignoring hidden directories? | 23:53 |
| suiza90 | Hello | 23:53 |
| Siph0n | perhaps i need seperate drivers because it is sata? | 23:53 |
| soundray | phroughy: restart X after modifying xorg.conf | 23:53 |
| branstrom | http://avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAndUnicastDotLocal | 23:53 |
| Fryguy-- | Siph0n: then ubuntu didn't detect it, the drive is probably plugged into a controller that ubuntu doesn't know about for some reason | 23:53 |
| branstrom | Anyone know of the right way to do this? | 23:53 |
| erUSUL | NemesisD: it is desgned to do so? it may have a flag like --not-ignore-hidden-files | 23:53 |
| Moe|Joe | hey, anyone here use ubuntu as a server with ISPConfig | 23:53 |
| branstrom | I can't figure out what they're not saying. | 23:53 |
