| d_test | then, i clicked on the install icon, and it took me to the installer | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| d_test | k, i says manual partition method.. | 00:00 |
| d_test | i select my new partition | 00:00 |
| seanh | I keep setting the panel_minimized_size to 1 in gconf-editor but nothing's changing | 00:00 |
| n3uro5i5 | anyone has enconding character problems in evolution? | 00:00 |
| d_test | i do all the steps, and when it goes to install, it just waits and then says couldn't mount '/' | 00:01 |
| Starnestommy | d_test: did you make a partition that had '/' as a mount point? | 00:01 |
| d_test | yea, i did that | 00:01 |
| d_test | now, the install icon isn't working again :| | 00:02 |
| WaY | does anybody knows any tool like nero for creating and editing dvd menus? | 00:02 |

| StrangeCharm_ | i'm having trouble hibernating on a fujitsu-siemens lifebook p7230. on the hcl, it's listed as working ok. i'm using the intel experimental modsetting graphics driver. i have more swap space than i have ram; i even have more empty swap space than i have ram. i see the hibernate icon in power options dialogue. however, when i click on it, i get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left, and this persists for as long as i leave the compu | 00:03 |
| StrangeCharm_ | ter running. when i force a power-off, and turn it back on, i just get a normal startup. any ideas? | 00:03 |
| WaY | but i think that nero for linux doesnt create dvd menus | 00:03 |
| seanh | Hey -- anyone know why I keep seeing this randomly when using my browser? (but not when I am loading a site, it just pops up randomly when I'm not doing anything) http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/874/screenshotepiphanyxz5.png | 00:03 |
| xenthro | Q: i just bought an Asus WL-160n usb wifi dongle and I want to get it working w/out ndiswrapper. I can't find any info on what chipset the card uses but I there are win/mac drivers available | 00:03 |
| nugz1212 | just use ndiswrapper then | 00:04 |
| oli | WaY: if nero and k3b can't - nothing can. | 00:04 |

| prakriti | when i put 4gb of ram in my box it gets super unstable | 00:05 |
| prakriti | I know it cant address all of it, but should it get unstable/ | 00:05 |
| prakriti | ? | 00:05 |
| oli | prakriti: it's difficult to find data in so big amount of mem :> | 00:05 |
| Juzzy` | I have a problem I need more space on my root partition (/) but i'm not sure how to resize the partition | 00:05 |
| prakriti | heh | 00:05 |
| prakriti | Juzzy` : boot off a live cd and run the partition editor | 00:05 |
| WaY | oli: im going to try qdvdauthor | 00:05 |
| Juzzy` | ooh ok | 00:05 |
| Juzzy` | thanks | 00:06 |
| shaark | Juzzy: use gparted | 00:06 |
| Juzzy` | can i use gparted without using live cd? | 00:06 |
| Juzzy` | cause livecd doesn't like my laptop | 00:06 |
| rsk | Juzzy`: sure | 00:06 |
| oli | Juzzy`: not on / | 00:06 |
| Juzzy` | thats what I thought | 00:06 |
| Juzzy` | since its mounted | 00:06 |
| Juzzy` | i'll give the livecd a shot | 00:07 |
| Juzzy` | bbl | 00:07 |
| Juzzy` | thx guys | 00:07 |

| simps | I've been trying to setup Samba, but I have no been able to see the Ubuntu computer from my Windows or vice versa. | 00:09 |
| simps | Help would be appreciated :) | 00:10 |
| d_test | simps: is the samba server on your windows workgroup or vice-versa | 00:10 |
| simps | on Ubuntu | 00:11 |
| WillOne | If someone could take a look at this and tell me what size I should make the Linux exchange, I would be greatful: http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/8850/supmortomesin2.jpg | 00:11 |
| d_test | no, like is it set-up for use in your windows workgroup | 00:11 |
| simps | d_test, I'm not totally sure if I did it right. I just went to System->Administration->Shared Folders, installed the stuff there, and added a folder | 00:12 |
| d_test | i think you need to setup the workgroup settings | 00:12 |
| simps | d_test, could you explain how i would do that? | 00:12 |
| d_test | uhh, i did it in fedora 6 :/ | 00:13 |
| simps | :s | 00:13 |
| d_test | its different, since they had a nice GUI settings thing | 00:13 |
| dystopianray | WillOne: 10GB would be more than adequate, depends on how many files you want to store in the linux partition | 00:13 |
| Sneakernets | Hi, I have a rather unusual question | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | Sneakernets, Those are the best kind :) | 00:14 |
| simps | d_test, do you think the terminology of setting up the workgroup would be the same? could you tell me a few of the things you saw in the GUI that i might be able to locate on Ubuntu :P | 00:14 |
| Sneakernets | I am trying to run Chocolate doom ( http://www.chocolate-doom.org ) and I'm having problems setting 320x200 and when I set 320x240 all I get is garbled horizontal bars. | 00:14 |
| Sneakernets | my chipset is SiS SUPER AGPSET | 00:14 |

| awerner32 | i have a wine question but nobody in the wine irc wants to answer it and people in the ubuntu one are generably very knowledgeable | 00:15 |
| d_test | simps: it was in system>settings>administration>samba conf | 00:15 |
| awerner32 | alright, i have a decent understanding of both how wine works and also the windows registry, would there be a way to import the wine registry keys and neccesary files to a windows install on a seperate partition and thus run apps already installed on that partition. I think it's theoretically possible but what would be the methodology required | 00:15 |
| dystopianray | Sneakernets: is there a specific need to run chocolate-doom? there are many other doom ports | 00:15 |
| Sneakernets | and my monitor is a Gateway FPD2185W LCD 1680x1050 | 00:15 |
| soundray | woz: do you have an optical mouse? | 00:15 |
| Sneakernets | dystopianray: yes, it emulates vanilla as closely as possible | 00:15 |

| jereme_ | anyone running fglrx using the manual install method? | 00:16 |
| jereme_ | I'm having an issue that when X starts, I just get a blank screen and it hangs | 00:16 |

| ubotu | jereme_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 00:16 |
| d_test | if i have my partitions setup already, whats the easiest way to use it? | 00:16 |
| soundray | woz: it may be sending spurious movement signals. Try unplugging it. If that works, plug it back in, but turn it on its back. | 00:16 |
| Sneakernets | i suspect that my xorg driver isn't working | 00:16 |
| Sneakernets | I can't find any info on my chipset | 00:16 |
| woz | @soundray: thanks ill try that | 00:16 |
| cellofellow | My nvidia hda-intel sound card doesn't work, so I have a USB headset. It works, but the only mixer that can set the volume correctly is alsamixer. The gnome stuff doesn't work, and the volume buttons on the headset. Both just send the volume into randome places. | 00:16 |
| jereme_ | well it was part of my question | 00:17 |
| PcPixel | Does anyone know of a good software package for a high school student to use as an algebra tutor? | 00:17 |
| soundray | Sneakernets: most recent drivers don't support these low resolutions well | 00:17 |
| Sneakernets | is there a program I can use to ident my chipset and set xorg settings automatically? | 00:17 |
| jereme_ | I was narrowing the results of my query by eliminating anyone who wouldn't have relevant experience | 00:17 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I was explaining, ok? Sorry if I was too vague. | 00:17 |
| Sneakernets | soundray: that's not good :( | 00:17 |
| jeroenimo | ubotu: I wondered that too ... why people are so polite, but imagine when everyon in #ubuntu would reply to "Hello! Can someone help me" ? | 00:17 |
| Pici | jeroenimo: ubotu is a bot ;) | 00:18 |

| ubotu | Yes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots for all information. | 00:18 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: if you go into System, Preferences, Sound, it'll show you the default mixer tracks controlled by your volume buttons | 00:18 |
| jeroenimo | Pici: I saw it after I whoised :P | 00:18 |
| cellofellow | The headset is a Logitech Premium 350 which works just by the standard USB plug-and-play soundcard stuff. | 00:18 |

| realityiswhere | cellofellow: for your HDA intel card, I'm pretty good with those, what chipset is your sound card? | 00:20 |
| dystopianray | Sneakernets: try prboom, it's my favourite | 00:20 |
| tyranos | hi , got a question , how can i make the nautilus file browser start windowed and not taking the fullscreen , if i maximize it it gets a pixel wider ,doesnt make sense to me | 00:20 |
| Sneakernets | alright :) | 00:20 |
| jeroenimo | xenthro: http://linux-wless.passys.nl | 00:20 |
| xenthro | ty | 00:20 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: it's SigmaTel STAC9200 | 00:20 |
| dystopianray | Sneakernets: it's in the ubuntu repos | 00:20 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: do you have the backport modules package installed? | 00:21 |
| Dr_willis | tyranos, sounds to me like its rembering its last opened size. and not reseting it when you close the window. | 00:21 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: MCP51 High Definition Audio with STAC9200 "codec". | 00:21 |
| newtar | tyranos: I use this alias: alias ge-nautilus='nautilus --browser "`pwd`" &' | 00:21 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I do. | 00:21 |
| Sneakernets | dystopianray: so it is! yay, thanks. | 00:22 |
| mykas0 | hi everyone | 00:22 |
| Sneakernets | I need to talk to the maintainer of chocodoom and see if we can get it submitted to the ubuntu repos when the testing is finished | 00:22 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: Have you tried any of the supposed fixed editing the alsa-base conf file? | 00:22 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: fixes* | 00:22 |
| telee | so i have a 300 gig HD and 100 gig are already partitioned for windows and i have my second partition with 215 GIGs for ubuntu.... now i am doing it manually and how should i split the rest of the 215 Gigs up for ubuntu.. should it all be ext3 or some ext2 and what about swap... i have 2 gig ram if that matters | 00:22 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: haven't heard that one yet. | 00:23 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: one moment | 00:23 |
| woz | @soundray: that still doesn't turn the display off | 00:23 |
| * cellofellow is sort of banking on Hardy fixing lots of stuff. | 00:23 | |
| mykas0 | I'm now installing the ubuntu-alternate, and it seems to be stuck on 18% for quite a while, during the "Selecting and installing software" - is this a known issue? | 00:23 |

| Yasumoto | mykas0: are you installing on a laptop? | 00:23 |
| exneo_ | hey how do I run the make file in the alsa driver | 00:23 |
| mykas0 | Yasumoto, nope | 00:23 |
| jimmygoon | Is everyone's xchat working properly? (as in Ctrl+X doesn't try to close it) | 00:23 |
| mykas0 | I'm installing in text mode | 00:23 |
| Dr_willis | telee, no need to use ext2, how to do it - depends onyour needs. You may want to put a little swap partition. (like 512mb) at the end just in case you ever need swap. | 00:23 |
| tyranos | Dr_willis, i dont think so , i got that same answer from someone else months ago , but i m pretty sure it s not the case , and how can it remember some size it was never set to :( !!! | 00:24 |
| beasty | mm anyone knows in what repo 'ldap account manager' is in ? | 00:24 |
| soundray | woz: do you use the inhibit applet? | 00:24 |
| Yasumoto | mykas0: did you do the "check CD for errors" check before installing? | 00:24 |
| Stargazer | My printer isn't printing, when i hit "print" any ideas ? | 00:24 |
| exneo_ | yasumoto how do I run the make file in the alsa driver its not a bash scrip | 00:24 |
| mykas0 | Yasumoto, yes, I did | 00:24 |
| woz | @soundray: whats that? | 00:24 |
| telee | Dr_Willis: so basically ill just use it as a desktop and mythtv | 00:24 |
| Dr_willis | tyranos, ive seen cases where its happened. But i rarely use the gnome file manager much. | 00:24 |
| tyranos | what do u use ?? | 00:24 |
| Yasumoto | mykas0: hm, interesting. have you tried to run it again? | 00:24 |
| dirkg3nt1y | exneo, have you tried ./configure first? | 00:25 |
| mykas0 | Yasumoto, it's my second time attempting this installion - before, I had the very same problem | 00:25 |
| Dr_willis | telee, for mythtv you might want to have a large partition set for /mythtv or for your recordings directory then. the #mythbuntu guys will proberly be able to guide you. | 00:25 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: is it a dell inspiron laptop by any chance? | 00:25 |
| Dr_willis | tyranos, i tend to use mc in a terminal :) | 00:25 |
| cellofellow | No, gateway. | 00:25 |
| soundray | woz: it's a gnome applet that you can use to disable screensaving -- e.g. when you're watching a movie. I thought you might have set it to inhibit-mode inadvertently | 00:25 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: Gateway MT3423 | 00:25 |
| Yasumoto | mykas0: darn :/ I tried to install on my mother's laptop and it would hang at 57% each time | 00:25 |
| woz | @soundray: any way for me to check that? i.e. a config file | 00:25 |
| mykas0 | how did you fixed it? | 00:25 |
| Yasumoto | mykas0: turned out it was a bad hard drive | 00:25 |
| telee | so Dr_willis thanks | 00:26 |
| soundray | woz: not really -- you would probably know if you had it on your panel | 00:26 |
| mykas0 | hum, that can't happen here - I tried installing it in a virtual machine too, and had the same problem | 00:26 |
| Yasumoto | mykas0: try searching launchpad or the forums for "installer hangs" | 00:26 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: try a 'sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base', should open a config file | 00:27 |
| woz | soundray: is it possible that folding@home or pidgin is preventing it from going to idle? | 00:27 |

| Juzzy` | hi guys, managed to get gparted open but it won't let me resize the partition | 00:28 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: try adding 'options snd-hda-intel model=5stack' in with the other "options" lines, underneath of the last one. | 00:28 |
| dystopianray | Strangework: restore from backup, otherwise no | 00:28 |
| Strangework | DAMN! | 00:28 |
| Strangework | ah well. thank you anyways | 00:28 |
| hellues | i dont know | 00:29 |
| shaark | juzzy:is there a lock icon next to the partition u want to resize? | 00:29 |
| soundray | woz: and you haven't got a second pointing device, like a trackpad or tablet? | 00:29 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: now what? | 00:29 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: you will unfortunately have to restart in order to see if it worked, after you save the file. | 00:29 |
| hellues | what is acid test | 00:29 |
| mykas0 | can anyone help me, then? :\ | 00:29 |
| Juzzy` | yes shaark | 00:29 |
| woz | soundray: only the touchpad on my laptop | 00:29 |
| soundray | woz: ah | 00:29 |
| hellues | dirkg3nt1y, what is acid test | 00:29 |
| shaark | Juzzy: that partition is in use then u can't resize it | 00:29 |
| Juzzy` | i've tried unmouning the partition and then doing it | 00:29 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: actually, this file is really messy (I shink asoundconf has something to do with that.) Where can I get a clean one? | 00:29 |
| Juzzy` | but it still won't allow me | 00:29 |
| soundray | woz: try installing gsynaptics and disabling the trackpad. You have to make a modification to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for it to work | 00:30 |
| bazhang | http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid2/ hellues | 00:30 |
| shaark | Juzzy: did u try it from the live cd? | 00:30 |
| Juzzy` | yup thats what i'm using now | 00:30 |
| soundray | woz: I mean touchpad | 00:30 |
| === debaser_ is now known as Shinobi | ||
| Juzzy` | live cd (with the safe mode gfx) | 00:30 |
| woz | soundray: alright | 00:30 |
| shaark | Juzzy: try downloading the gpartd live cd that should work | 00:30 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: everyone's is quite messy, I assure you. it's best not to alter it | 00:30 |
| Juzzy` | shaark: I could probably just redo my linux install but i don't wanna mess up grub | 00:31 |
| woz | soundray: alright i installed gsynaptics and now im in the xorg.conf file, what should i edit | 00:31 |
| shaark | Juzzy: just try the gpartd live cd that should solve it and its a small download too | 00:31 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I restarted alsasound and alsa-utils with init.d, and I now have no sound. | 00:31 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I think if I tell to use my headset again it'll be fine. | 00:32 |
| dirkg3nt1y | hellues, the acid test tests how well a browser sticks to web standards: http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html | 00:32 |
| osotogari | i have just edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, do i have to reboot to load the blacklist? | 00:32 |
| Juzzy` | shaark: If I used the text-based installer cd would I be able to resize the partition there and reinstall ubuntu onto it? | 00:32 |
| bazhang | heh | 00:32 |
| hellues | http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html#top | 00:32 |
| nemilar | osotogari: yeah, but you can just do 'sudo modprobe [module name]' and it will load it | 00:32 |
| hellues | whats this | 00:32 |
| hellues | :D | 00:32 |
| nemilar | osotogari: then you don't need to reboot | 00:32 |
| shaark | Juzzy: sorry haven't tried that before | 00:33 |
| Juzzy` | k | 00:33 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: uh oh. My headset isn't in `asoundconf list` anymore. | 00:33 |
| hellues | it is a face of cat | 00:33 |
| hellues | muhshshshhshs | 00:33 |
| osotogari | but i thought blacklist is to stop drivers from loading? | 00:33 |
| nemilar | Juzzy`: yeah you can resize partitions using the text-based installer... but I hope you are very comfortable with the command line | 00:33 |
| hellues | what does that mean | 00:33 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: you can try replacing the model=5stack with some other options, there are a lot of them. | 00:33 |
| dirkg3nt1y | hellues, it means firefox 3 is a hell of a lot better the firefox 2 | 00:33 |
| nemilar | !ohmy | 00:33 |
| ubotu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:33 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: never mind, just replugging it it helped. | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | osotogari, if a module is in the blacklist file - it wont automatically get loaded. You can still manually load it. I belive. | 00:34 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: hehe, good. | 00:34 |
| hellues | firefox 3 better then 2 | 00:34 |
| hellues | hmm | 00:34 |
| woz | soundray: any idea what lines to edit on xorg.conf? | 00:34 |

| Talon | I saw a video a while ago were when you open a window it goes up in flames, does anyone know what thats called ? | 00:34 |
| nemilar | Talon: that's compiz | 00:34 |
| nemilar | !compiz | 00:34 |
| ubotu | Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 00:34 |
| Talon | OHh, so its built into that i gotta enable that some how :) | 00:35 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I'm not to interested in getting the nvidia card working right away. I bet a clean install of Hardy will do more good than all this fiddling. I just can't figure out why only alsamixer can set the volume of this card properly. | 00:35 |
| boinker | the whole xorg.conf file has changed....so im thinking maybe the setup of wacom tablets have changed too...does anyone have any clue whats going on?? | 00:35 |
| osotogari | @ Dr. Willis: Ok, what if it is already loaded, say the garmin_gps module has been black listed. Do I have to restart to prevent this from being loaded or can I reload my modules without a restart? | 00:35 |
| nemilar | Talon: correct, read the links above | 00:35 |
| boinker | anyone know at all? | 00:35 |
| nemilar | osotogari: rmmod is the command to remove a module | 00:35 |
| hellues | this cat is smiling in opera to | 00:35 |
| hellues | :D | 00:35 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I mean the USB headset, not the nvidia hda card. (That seems to mix fine, just not play one peep.) | 00:35 |
| nemilar | hellues: opera has the best standards-compliancy of all the browsers | 00:36 |
| osotogari | @nemilar: thanks :) | 00:36 |
| Wiredtape_Away | hey, I'm trying to decide between ubuntu server edition or desktop edition.. I do plan to run an AMP setup on it, however, I also need some desktop stuff.. which way to go? | 00:36 |
| nemilar | osotogari: welcome | 00:36 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: I have a plantronics USB headset I could never get working properly either. The audio was fine, but recording never worked. | 00:36 |
| nemilar | Wiredtape_Away: desktop can run all the LAMP stuff just fine | 00:36 |
| Wiredtape_Away | nemilar, so what's special about the server edition? | 00:36 |
| nemilar | Wiredtape_Away: if you need the desktop stuff, install the desktop version | 00:36 |
| Stargazer | Printer not printing, and google isn't helping | 00:36 |
| soundray | woz: add this line to the InputDevice section that pertains to your touchpad: Option "SHMConfig" "true" | 00:37 |
| nemilar | Wiredtape_Away: it's got less bulk, none of the desktop apps like openoffice.org | 00:37 |
| soundray | woz: you will have to restart X | 00:37 |
| woz_ | soundray: k | 00:37 |
| hellues | nemilar, i cant use flash plugin in opera | 00:37 |
| nemilar | hellues: that makes two of us | 00:37 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: my problem is using the GNOME mixer, the volume buttons on my keyboard, or the volume buttons on the headse (which are hard to avoid hitting) are sporadic. Pushing up will cause the volume will go up and down, randomly muting and unmuting the left earphone. | 00:37 |
| Wiredtape_Away | nemilar, ok, thanks! | 00:37 |
| hellues | althrough i installed flash plugin | 00:37 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: only alsamixer works, which is a bit annoying. | 00:37 |
| nemilar | Wiredtape_Away: welcome | 00:37 |
| hellues | while installing i asks for mozilla but not ask for opera | 00:38 |
| hellues | .D | 00:38 |
| woz_ | soundray: what will SHMConfig = true do to my touchpad? | 00:38 |
| soundray | woz_: it needs to be set to activate the configuration interface to your touchpad that gsynaptics uses | 00:39 |
| spithra | hello | 00:39 |
| woz_ | soundray: alright, restarting | 00:39 |
| nemilar | it got quiet all of a sudden | 00:40 |
| emma | sudo apt-get install VLC | 00:40 |
| emma | is that the way I should do that? | 00:40 |
| Flare183 | yeah really | 00:40 |
| emma | If I want to get VLC? | 00:40 |
| nemilar | emma: yup, that works | 00:40 |
| spithra | i new, so I installed ubuntu 6.06. Is there a gui already installed or do I have to get one? | 00:40 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: on a side note, do you know how ESD works? Does it make it so that more than one or two programs can make sound at once? | 00:40 |
| Pici | emma: lowercase vlc | 00:40 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: that is really odd. Your default mixer is set to the usb headset and it won't change the volume that way? | 00:40 |
| nemilar | emma: I donno if it's case sensitive though | 00:40 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: it will, just sporadically. | 00:40 |
| nemilar | spithra: Ubuntu comes with Gnome, a desktop environment (GUI) | 00:40 |
| emma | I want to get somethign that will open the live video here -- http://www.cnn.com/ | 00:41 |
| woz_ | @soundray: alright now that ive restarted, what should i try? or should i just see if it will sleep now | 00:41 |
| spithra | <nemilar- so whats the command to run it | 00:41 |
| spithra | cause im just prompt with cammand line | 00:42 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: pulseaudio is actually supposed to do the same thing as ESD, only better | 00:42 |
| woz_ | soundray: alright now that ive restarted, what should i try? or should i just see if it will sleep now | 00:42 |
| Flare183 | I"m back anybody need some help with anything linux/software related | 00:42 |
| soundray | woz_: have a bit of patience before you repeat | 00:42 |
| phuzion | hahahahaha holy crap what just happened? I have compiz installed, and I just saw my xchat network tree fly by for no reason at all... | 00:42 |
| woz_ | soundray: hmm? | 00:42 |
| awerner32 | emma, cnn uses a proprietary plugin to stream teh video which has no linux equivilent | 00:42 |
| soundray | woz_: start gsynaptics and disable the touchpad | 00:42 |
| nemilar | spithra: what was your question again? | 00:42 |
| Flare183 | phuzion: it's called lag | 00:43 |
| spithra | run a gui | 00:43 |
| emma | Flare183, I might. .I need to be able to watch the republican debate on www.cnn.com | 00:43 |
| spiiph | Hi. I'm trying to configure tikiwiki, using database setup with dbconfig-common. However, The configuration keeps trying to setup the database without asking me for the database administration password. Is there some option to dbconfig-common I have missed to set? | 00:43 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: well, there are (correct me if I'm wrong) like four high-level sound API's: jack, esd, arts, and pulseaudio. And so few programs seem to actually support them. | 00:43 |
| nemilar | spithra: gnome will startup automatically | 00:43 |
| woz_ | soundray: i didnt know if putting @ in front of the name showed up as a message for you. beginner with xchat. | 00:43 |
| Flare183 | emma: ok does it use flash or what one sec i look | 00:43 |
| phuzion | Flare183, I don't think so, my system runs fine, C2D E4500 with 2GB of RAM and a GeForce 8600 GTS | 00:43 |
| d_test | k, im seriously mad at this installer.. | 00:44 |
| d_test | it won't work! | 00:44 |
| Flare183 | phuzion: no internet lag | 00:44 |
| bazhang | phuzion: network lag | 00:44 |
| Flare183 | as in internet lag | 00:44 |
| spithra | nemilar> it doesnt | 00:44 |
| soundray | woz_: whether or not it highlights is a function of my IRC client, not yours... | 00:44 |
| d_test | it just disapears after a while | 00:44 |
| woz_ | soundray: ahh ok | 00:44 |
| woz_ | soundray: alright im gonna give it a shot | 00:45 |
| Flare183 | emma: ok i'm on the cnn.com's site | 00:45 |
| sneakmonkey | hey | 00:45 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I wish there was an X11 extension for sound, or something like that. Any X11 (or GTK or OpenGL) program could then use it. | 00:45 |
| phuzion | Flare183 and bazhang you guys know what I'm talking about, the network tree, where it shows what networks and channels you are talking about, right? that shouldn't be affected by network lag | 00:45 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: ossv4 is actually worth looking into as well | 00:45 |
| emma | Flare183, cool. I hope to be able to watch the debate. So I can see Ron Paul. | 00:45 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: oh, I forgot about OpenAL for games too. | 00:45 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: i used it instead of ALSA for a while when i was running into the same problems you are now. | 00:45 |
| * cellofellow gives emma a high-five! | 00:45 | |
| bazhang | oftopic emma | 00:45 |
| emma | :D | 00:45 |
| Flare183 | phuzion: oh yeah I know | 00:46 |
| oich | how can I install a python module using easy_install, without setpping on ubuntu's package manager files? | 00:46 |
| Flare183 | :) | 00:46 |
| d_test | can anyone guide me to install ubuntu?! | 00:46 |
| Flare183 | !install | d_test | 00:46 |
| ubotu | d_test: 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?

| zed_ | hi, I screwed up and removed udev instead of rewriting it with the apt-get remove command | 00:46 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I also have some problems with OSS emulation. How the heck do I configure that? | 00:46 |
| lanzelloth | !wireless | 00:47 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:47 |
| emma | Flare183, is there any known way to watch the CNN stream with Ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| mykas0 | I'm now installing the ubuntu-alternate, and it seems to be stuck on 18% for quite a while, during the "Selecting and installing software" - is this a known issue? | 00:47 |
| zed_ | anyone know how I can reload it from the disk? | 00:47 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: i was never any good with regular OSS sorry :( | 00:47 |
| d_test | Flare183: not there | 00:47 |
| Flare183 | emma: don't know yet seems that it is "incompatible right now | 00:47 |
| soundray | mykas0: no, it probably means that your burn failed | 00:47 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I need for a couple of programs, like I would really like to be able to use Audacity to record both input and output without regard for device. | 00:47 |
| d_test | it just disappears after a while | 00:47 |
| emma | ohoh | 00:47 |
| Flare183 | d_test: what do you mean the entire this is the guide | 00:47 |
| d_test | very, very annoying | 00:47 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: oh, well. | 00:47 |
| mykas0 | soundray, I tried using the ISO by itself, in a Virtual Machine, and it doesn't work either. I also checked for errors, and it displays none | 00:48 |
| woz_ | soundray: display still stays on | 00:48 |
| d_test | the installer says, installing system, then just closes after a while | 00:48 |
| eric | hey people | 00:48 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: As far as I know, OSS emulation is a part of ALSA where stuff going through /dev/dsp is routed through ALSA instead of directly through OSS. | 00:48 |
| eric | i just installed ubuntu | 00:48 |
| soundray | woz_: sorry I can't seem to help | 00:48 |
| eric | and irssi | 00:48 |
| woz_ | soundray: alright, thanks anyways | 00:48 |
| woz_ | Why won't my display go to sleep after 2 minutes? | 00:49 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: do you have the alsa-oss wrapper package? | 00:49 |
| zed_ | anyone know how to reload the kernel from the disk without having to re-install? | 00:49 |
| mykas0 | arg, this sure is a huge problem ;___; | 00:49 |
| awerner32 | emma: it can be done through wine and a windows browser | 00:49 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: great call | 00:49 |
| emma | Hm... Wine! | 00:49 |
| emma | Okay.. hmmmm. | 00:49 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: that may solve some issues hehe | 00:49 |
| emma | a windows browser though.. | 00:50 |
| Talon | [Stupid Question] whats the default '<Super>' button ? | 00:50 |
| emma | So wine and IE? | 00:50 |
| realityiswhere | Talon: the windows key between control and alt | 00:50 |
| Talon | Thanks mate | 00:50 |
| nugz1212 | hey whenever i hit ctrl-alt-backspace or logout everything goes away except for the wallpaper and it freezes, what can i don to correct this? | 00:50 |
| fluvvell | zed_ : reload the kernel in what respect? | 00:50 |
| nugz1212 | do* | 00:50 |
| bad_cables | anyone seen the issues with the rt61 wireless PCI driver? | 00:50 |
| soundray | zed_: you want to reinstall the kernel .deb package? | 00:50 |
| eric | don't know if i should ask this but does anyone know of a good torrent program for ubuntu? | 00:50 |
| zed_ | I want to reinstall the udev package | 00:50 |
| realityiswhere | eric: deluge, transmission, azureus | 00:51 |
| nugz1212 | eric transmisson | 00:51 |
| zed_ | I think it took the kernel with it | 00:51 |
| eric | i thought transmission was for mac os x only/ | 00:51 |
| eric | ? | 00:51 |
| nugz1212 | sry transmission, its my favorite | 00:51 |
| bad_cables | i compiled the module and installed it, i even blacklisted my old one now when i reboot it shows 0% strength on all available networks | 00:51 |
| realityiswhere | eric: it's in the repos | 00:51 |
| zed_ | so now I can't boot | 00:51 |
| eric | nice thanks realityiswhere. | 00:51 |
| nugz1212 | would reinstalling GDM packages solve my problem? | 00:51 |
| emma | I do have wine installed, but how do I load IE (from my windows partition) through Wine? | 00:51 |
| soundray | zed_: did you uninstall udev? | 00:51 |
| zed_ | yes | 00:51 |
| zed_ | I screwed up | 00:52 |
| soundray | zed_: can you boot from a live CD? | 00:52 |
| zed_ | there right now | 00:52 |
| cellofellow | nugz1212: probably a bad X.Org configuration. | 00:52 |
| nugz1212 | no its not tht | 00:52 |
| fluvvell | zed_: where does it get to in the boot sequence? | 00:52 |
| zed_ | error 15 | 00:52 |
| zed_ | nothing else | 00:52 |
| eric | alright. i'm gonna go on my mac. brb. | 00:52 |
| Flare183 | emma: in the program files folder | 00:52 |
| matt3243 | can anyone help me out with my wireless connection? it seems to drop out every 5 or 10 minutes.... really frustrating, WPA ASCII key, DLink router, Linksys Nic, 802.11G | 00:52 |
| soundray | zed_: can you mount the root partition? | 00:52 |
| Flare183 | emma: got that? | 00:52 |
| nugz1212 | default xorg.conf does the same thing, and ive tried many kernels all with same problems | 00:52 |
| emma | Flare183, you mean the wine program files? | 00:52 |
| zed_ | I think so | 00:53 |
| emma | I only have one program in there. | 00:53 |
| awerner32 | emma: you could either try to mount the windows partition and make that work by jsut running the binaries but that has problems with registry inconsistancies generall, i recomend just downloading the windows version of firefox or opera in linux and install it onto your wine psuedo-install and then install flashplayer | 00:53 |
| soundray | zed_: is that grub error 15? | 00:53 |
| emma | How do I include IE as one of the files in my Wine program files? | 00:53 |
| Flare183 | emma: yeah either that or windows's partition's program files (if applicatable) | 00:53 |
| zed_ | yes | 00:53 |
| emma | Okay I'll download the windows firefox. | 00:53 |
| Flare183 | ok | 00:53 |
| emma | I'm not sure how do I get wine to execute it though if you get me. | 00:53 |
| emma | Where am I supposed to save windows firefox too? | 00:54 |
| mykas0 | I'm now installing the ubuntu-alternate, and it seems to be stuck on 18% for quite a while, during the "Selecting and installing software". What should I do, if I'm using an ISO and it has no errors? | 00:54 |
| awerner32 | yeah ubuntu will actually run the exe installer by default | 00:54 |
| awerner32 | emma: your desktop works | 00:54 |
| ThreeFingerPete | I have a novel question(I hope). with windows xp, much past 2 gigs of ram windows doesnt make any use of it. what about ubuntu? | 00:54 |
| awerner32 | emma: anywhere because it's a self-extracting cabinent that will extract by default onto your wine drive | 00:54 |
| Linuxishaw1 | Does anyone know if can make moblock run only on one interface? | 00:54 |
| ^Elfboy | i was woundering if i insrall the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all tha | 00:55 |
| hellues | quenstion | 00:55 |
| emma | Okay that sounds promising | 00:55 |
| hellues | what is dom inspector | 00:55 |
| awerner32 | emma: it's the same process as installing an app in windows | 00:55 |
| ^Elfboy | or can i set up in ssh | 00:55 |
| fluvvell | emma: look into ie4linux, it does it all for you. | 00:55 |
| soundray | ThreeFingerPete: if you have a 64bit CPU (e.g. Core 2 Duo), you can install the amd64 version of Ubuntu and use RAM up to a few terabytes | 00:55 |
| shaark | ThreeFingerPete: use 64bit release | 00:55 |
| hellues | firefox-3.0-dom-inspector | 00:55 |
| hellues | what is dom-inspector | 00:55 |
| emma | says it cannot be done | 00:55 |
| hellues | :D | 00:55 |
| emma | says there is no suitable thing to open firefoxsetup .exe | 00:56 |
| v | is there an equivalent of pidgin-rhythmbox for vlc? | 00:56 |
| soundray | ThreeFingerPete: the i386 version has the same issue -- it's an addressing problem. | 00:56 |
| ^Elfboy | i was woundering if i insrall the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? | 00:56 |
| ThreeFingerPete | soundray: thank you. so I could actually emulate a swap in the remaining ram? | 00:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | The_entropy: however, just like 64-bit XP, some things cannot be used on 64-bit Ubuntu. From the soudn of things, you're using 32bit XP | 00:57 |
| soundray | ThreeFingerPete: no | 00:57 |
| sneakmonkey | hello, i have a question about the how to install off of a flash drive tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 00:57 |
| jimmygoon | What would cause a random application to exit on Ctrl+X? | 00:57 |
| ThreeFingerPete | soundray: thanks. I was thinking I could because the bios detects it | 00:57 |
| awerner32 | emma: go to a command line and type wine "/path/to/firefox.exe" | 00:57 |
| ^Elfboy | i was woundering if i insrall the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? | 00:57 |
| syntaxerror55 | ThreeFingerPete: the above was directed at you | 00:57 |
| hellues | dom-inspector | 00:57 |
| mouseboyx | Jimmygoon, if ctrl+X is the shortcut for quitting. | 00:58 |
| sneakmonkey | about the preparing the Flash Drive with isotostick.sh, im not fully clear on how to do that part, i downloaded the files it links to but dont know where to go from there | 00:58 |
| ^Elfboy | ???? | 00:58 |
| jimmygoon | mouseboyx, no, and I'm the only person having trouble with this program - I'm having it in both the ubuntu version and compiled from src | 00:58 |
| CarlF1 | how can I get "search pw.com" added to /etc/resolve.conf each time it gets created ? | 00:58 |
| ThreeFingerPete | syntaxerror55: that is correct, 32 bit xp | 00:58 |
| Jangari | does anyone know if there's a program that can concatenate sound files? pcm wav? | 00:58 |
| syntaxerror55 | ThreeFingerPete: such as: Flash won't work, and some other stuff. | 00:59 |
| ^Elfboy | i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? | 00:59 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: I think to get ALSA OSS to work I need to get rid of real OSS. | 00:59 |
| ThreeFingerPete | syntaxerror55: whats that about flash? | 00:59 |
| bazhang | www.pendrivelinux.com sneakmonkey | 00:59 |
| Flare183 | !repeat | ^Elfboy | 00:59 |
| ubotu | ^Elfboy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 00:59 |
| soundray | syntaxerror55, ThreeFingerPete: Adobe Flash plugin works fine on my 64bit machine | 00:59 |
| jack-desktop | how do you make a file executable? | 00:59 |
| realityiswhere | cellofellow: i believe that is true as well, it's a wrapper for OSS so it's still using alsa | 01:00 |
| jack-desktop | somethig 666? | 01:00 |
| soundray | !flash64 | ThreeFingerPete | 01:00 |
| ubotu | ThreeFingerPete: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 01:00 |
| Flare183 | jack-desktop: bad number | 01:00 |
| cellofellow | realityiswhere: andy idea what to remove? | 01:00 |
| emma | Didn't work. | 01:00 |
| ThreeFingerPete | soundray and syntax: flash plug in is fine on mine too | 01:00 |
| jack-desktop | Flare183, do you know how? | 01:00 |
| Flare183 | emma: that's whack | 01:00 |
| zed_ | soundray can I copy a initrd from the disk to the hd? | 01:00 |
| emma | I have firefox.exe on my windows partition but I don't know how to point wine to it | 01:00 |
| syntaxerror55 | soundray: I'm a bit behind on the times, then | 01:00 |
| soundray | ThreeFingerPete: but you haven't got a 64bit OS | 01:00 |
| Flare183 | jack-desktop: yeah use chmod | 01:00 |
| tdrusk | whats the new remote desktop program in hardy? | 01:00 |
| Flare183 | jack-desktop: check out man chmod | 01:01 |
| syntaxerror55 | emma: wine /windows/path/to/firefox.exe | 01:01 |
| jack-desktop | Flare183, what number? | 01:01 |
| Flare183 | jack-desktop: 777 | 01:01 |
| soundray | syntaxerror55: it's certainly not thanks to Adobe and their backwards support policy ;) | 01:01 |
| jimmygoon | mouseboyx, I figured it out. I had dvorak keyboard installed BUT NOT IN USE... and when I disabled it the problem went away..... is ctrl some modfiied for "switch keyboard layout"? | 01:01 |
| Flare183 | jack-desktop: that means everyone can run it, read it and, write to it | 01:01 |
| ThreeFingerPete | soundray: it seems that way. | 01:01 |
| ^Elfboy | i was woundering if i install the server pac do i have to hook up a monater and all that do i have to pulug in monater mouse and k-bore? | 01:01 |
| awerner32 | emma: you may have to moung the windows partition too, but generally running in wine applications installed from a different windows install will lead to major problems because windows applications are tied to the registry and wine addresses it | 01:01 |
| soundray | zed_: no, but you can regenerate it -- hold on | 01:01 |
| Flare183 | emma: try opera then | 01:01 |
| jack-desktop | Flare183, so: sudo chmod 777 <file>? | 01:02 |

| Flare183 | jack-desktop: yeah.... | 01:02 |

| emma | Ok. | 01:03 |

| Flare183 | Jangari: no becuase the cnn site won't let her | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | zsnes dosent support 64bit - due to its use of assembly language in the code. :( | 01:03 |
| syntaxerror55 | Jordan_U: that is necessary to using computers. | 01:03 |
| Jangari | oh! | 01:03 |
| Jangari | i know | 01:03 |
| soundray | syntaxerror55: it used to be a real issue. With gutsy, it still takes a bit of trickery, but everything so far has worked for me, including googleearth and skype, all owing to the work of the good Medibuntu people | 01:03 |

| linchapulin | I have been perusing some of the /usr/doc folders to create a batch of links to what I thought would be most of the in depth documentation for everything installed on my system. Why is it some folders only contain files that are .gz and don't really contain any meaningful information? | 01:04 |
| Jangari | something like that, bruenig | 01:04 |
| Jordan_U | syntaxerror55, No it's not. People ( mostly crazy, but people none the less ) get along with gnusense | 01:04 |

| Jordan_U | shaark, Yes, usually using a 32 bit chroot | 01:05 |

| Dr_willis | looks like cnn.com is using winows media player for its video. | 01:06 |
| syntaxerror55 | Jordan_U: alright, I rest my case. but it did used to be a real issue. | 01:06 |
| unicum | i kicked the one that was in the panel after the fresh installation out | 01:06 |
| awerner32 | emma: i got an install of opera in wine working perfectly with the cnn live feed on linux | 01:06 |
| unicum | now i put one in the panel again.. thing is.. the windows don't appear as icon anymore, but more like a button | 01:06 |
| awerner32 | emma: it is definately doable | 01:06 |
| ThreeFingerPete | what is broken about flash? it works fine for me in gutsy | 01:06 |
| Flare183 | !flashissues | 01:07 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | ThreeFingerPete, New installs are broken | 01:07 |
| Juzzy` | I have succesfully used gparted to resize the partition, I have now rebooted into the ubuntu install and it shows the new size of the partition but it also still shows the same amount of free space left (like its automatically used up the space i gave it) | 01:07 |
| unicum | also.. if i klick on the button the window will not shrink into this button, like in the windows systray but instad falls down to the lower panel | 01:07 |

| Flare183 | yeah really | 01:10 |
| PriceChild | Flare183, he's away atm. | 01:10 |
| unicum | soundray thing is.. the windowlist shows buttons instead of icons.. if i have only one window open the button is as big as the list itself.. if i have multiple windows open the buttons get smaller and smaller | 01:10 |
| soundray | K_Dallas: docx files open reasonably well in OOo 2.3 without any add-ons | 01:10 |
| Flare183 | PriceChild: that figures | 01:10 |
| bad_cables | does anyone here know about wireless? | 01:10 |
| Dr_willis | ^Elfboy, you may want to fix all those typos.. Im not even sure what you are asking... | 01:11 |
| bad_cables | im having issues | 01:11 |
| K_Dallas | soundray, well i give it a try. what about pptx ? | 01:11 |
| mouseboyx | unicum, If you play with it it will eventualy work. | 01:11 |
| unicum | the "default window list" has icons for the windows and resizes itself with the number of windows | 01:11 |

| ThreeFingerPete | soundray, syntax55 and others: thanks for your help. bye! | 01:11 |

| Flare183 | oh nevermind | 01:11 |
| soundray | ThreeFingerPete: good luck | 01:11 |
| unicum | mouseboyx sure? like just playing with the size? | 01:11 |
| mouseboyx | I don't know, set it back to the default? | 01:11 |
| oich | does python easy_install interfere with dpkg? | 01:11 |
| K_Dallas | soundray, i think pptx was more complicated but i try it again when i boot back to linux, thanks | 01:12 |

| bad_cables | anyone know how to enable the RaLink rt61 in ubuntu? | 01:12 |
| unicum | the windowlist that was in the panel after the fresh installation | 01:12 |
| unicum | yes | 01:12 |
| mouseboyx | Try moving it around. | 01:12 |
| soundray | zed_: look into the update-initramfs command. You can run it in a chroot | 01:12 |
| mouseboyx | Or rebooting unicum have you tried that? | 01:13 |
| Slade^^ | #j kicevo | 01:13 |
| unicum | my comp is always shut down when i'm done | 01:13 |
| unicum | i reboot like a thousand times | 01:13 |
| realityiswhere | ^Elfboy: you would have to plug in a mouse, keyboard and monitor to do the initial setup, yes. after that you can set up ssh tunnelling and then do it remotely. | 01:13 |
| zed_ | I guess I don't know how to get root then | 01:13 |
| zed_ | I can access all my files | 01:14 |
| unicum | moving the windowlist only makes the buttons grow bigger by the space the windowlist gains.. thing is.. they are buttons now.. not icons anymore | 01:14 |
| singlesun | su? | 01:14 |
| zed_ | tried that | 01:14 |
| ^Elfboy | realityiswhere: thanks | 01:14 |

| unicum | already done that | 01:15 |
| realityiswhere | d_test: you should be able to do a dist-upgrade to the newest version, yes. | 01:15 |

| mouseboyx | Can you send me a screen shot? | 01:15 |

| das88 | thing is, I"ve tried reconfiguring xserver several times and it doesn't change anything | 01:25 |
| unicum | i meen.. it did work once.. obviously, else i wouldn't know how it worked | 01:25 |
| unicum | yes | 01:25 |
| Slade^^ | realityiswhere: if u know how to fix | 01:25 |
| unicum | all icons of the actual desktop | 01:25 |
| das88 | would the bios issue fix that too? | 01:25 |
| lanzelloth__ | damn.. | 01:25 |
| realityiswhere | Slade^^: how are you attempting to install it? from the Ubuntu Gutsy repository, or from the Wine repository, or compiling it? | 01:25 |
| mouseboyx | I think this feature does not exist, because I cannot do it. | 01:25 |
| Devils-Haven | can any one help ubuntu noob? deb is not found | 01:25 |
| unicum | erm... maybe it's because i'm using compiz.. though i dont't think it is | 01:25 |
| bad_cables | das88, that is what happened to me, once i set my bios to use 8mb... then i could do 1300x768 | 01:26 |
| unicum | i could try kicking out compiz reboot | 01:26 |
| unicum | turning on compiz again and rebooting again | 01:26 |
| das88 | awesome, I'll be back then. Thanks bad_cables! | 01:26 |

| Jangari | anyone knwo if sox can concatenate more than 32 input files at once? | 02:06 |

| xMS_user | ex-Microsoft User | 02:07 |
| nemilar | xMS_user: haha awesome for you | 02:07 |
| Talon | That seems to only fade the windows, mabey i have an old version | 02:07 |
| nemilar | xMS_user: bet that will teach you to back-up though | 02:07 |
| Carbonflux | Talon, ah, you mean something else sorry | 02:07 |
| tehmass | were is that? | 02:07 |
| Carbonflux | Talon, you are talking about some 3D effect? | 02:07 |
| xMS_user | nemilar: hello?! dude i will back up my back ups! | 02:07 |
| Talon | Yes | 02:07 |
| nugz1212 | has anyone tried the new ubuntu-ultimate? | 02:07 |
| tehmass | donald_: were can i get that? | 02:07 |
| nemilar | lol, backing up is vital | 02:07 |
| Talon | were the window in focus is actualy 'above' the desktop when in the cube mode | 02:07 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, its saying that it also wants to install python-compizconfig which is a package that can not be authenticated... i dont remember getting this message when installing the first time | 02:07 |
| Carbonflux | Talon, I have never seen that one unless you mean the 3D windows plug-in, but that only works when your rotating the cube | 02:07 |
| phuzion | Ok, I have this small problem with Compiz. I have the desktop cube running fine, but the tray at the bottom that shows open programs doesn't update until I have the selected face full screened, it stays the same as what I had open on the first face | 02:08 |
| Talon | Carbon, i will try and find an example its hard for me to explain hehe | 02:08 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, that sounds ok, it might just be unsupported, if its comming from a Ubuntu repo I doubt its malwarz | 02:08 |
| adub | does anyone here use amule | 02:08 |
| xMS_user | dude, bk is like brushing your teeth, changing your under wears and Not flirting with your girl friend's ssiter | 02:08 |

| phuzion | !anyone | 02:08 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 02:09 |
| Carbonflux | Talon, sounds nice, I would be interested in it myself | 02:09 |
| phuzion | !anyone | adub | 02:09 |
| ubotu | adub: please see above | 02:09 |
| q_a_z_steve | Talon, quick question, any change you know how to get dapper to show my disk usage by folder/file? | 02:09 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, does it say anything when you type ccsm on the command line ? | 02:09 |
| donald_ | tehmass: www.medibuntu.org | 02:09 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, one sec, checking | 02:09 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, yes.. i will send to you in PM | 02:09 |
| Talon | Sorry Steve, i only installed linux for the first time today , im to new at it to know that :D | 02:10 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i just sent to you in PM the output from ccsm | 02:10 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya looks like a version mismatch with libxslt.so.1 | 02:10 |
| q_a_z_steve | Talon, ah, haha | 02:10 |
| xMS_user | talon didn't i see you last week asking the same question? how is it that you JUST installed now? | 02:10 |
| Talon | Different Talon i guess | 02:11 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, the solution for this is? lol | 02:11 |
| Talon | Never had the balls enough to install it before today, but im glad i did | 02:11 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, it might be that lib got overwritten when you installed something new | 02:11 |
| * xMS_user starts laughing | 02:11 | |
| xMS_user | talon i am just messing with you | 02:11 |
| Talon | :P | 02:11 |
| RequinB4 | >.> That's not nice xMS_user | 02:11 |
| Talon | I sure to like it thoe ! | 02:11 |
| xMS_user | ext2 vs ext3? tell me the truth guys | 02:11 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, hmmm, how to revert to the old lib file... or overwrite the existing? | 02:11 |
| RequinB4 | Talon, welcome to ubuntu | 02:12 |
| Talon | Thankyou :) | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | xMS_user, i dont see mucn need to use ext2 these days | 02:12 |
| andresmujica | ext3 is the path | 02:12 |
| xMS_user | RequinB4: dude i am happy as hell, wait..that doe snot sound right | 02:12 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, well, if it was me I would open the Synaptic package manager and look around for libxslt, I think its a XML parser for python | 02:12 |
| andresmujica | ext2 is faster but could be relatively dangerous | 02:12 |
| xMS_user | thank you Dr_willis | 02:12 |
| Talon | Carbon: did you get my pm ? | 02:12 |
| donald_ | Carbonflux: Ubuntu won't "overwrite" it's own files unless a user does some weird ./install scripts of make install something | 02:12 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, you might be able to revert | 02:12 |
| === neil__ is now known as coldboot|home | ||
| RequinB4 | what would normally be in /dev/sda3 | 02:12 |
| Dr_willis | ive not seen many benchmaks that show ext2 being that much faster these days., | 02:12 |
| xMS_user | lol, well i am not putting my backups there then! ext3 it is | 02:12 |
| Carbonflux | donald_, its giving him a ImportError: /usr/lib/libxslt.so.1: undefined symbol: xmlNewDocPI when he tries to run ccsm | 02:12 |
| Carbonflux | that looks like a version mismatch to me | 02:13 |
| apranax | TÜRK WARMI LAN BURDA | 02:13 |
| apranax | :D | 02:13 |
| Carbonflux | Talon, I did not | 02:13 |
| Talon | hmm, then heres the link right here http://compiz.org/Image:3DPlugin.jpg | 02:13 |
| Talon | thats the effect i am trying to find | 02:13 |
| Carbonflux | ah thanks :) | 02:13 |
| donald_ | Carbonflux: has he installed something without using proper deb packages? or possible disk corruption? | 02:13 |
| foibles | donald_, thanks | 02:13 |
| Carbonflux | donald_, that is my guess, he said he install some stuff to support python dev | 02:13 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, what python stuff did you install ? | 02:14 |
| apranax | Talon fuck you | 02:14 |
| apranax | :A | 02:14 |
| andresmujica | probably is negectible today. but at the inner level ext2 is faster it doesnñ t have the journal overhead | 02:14 |
| Talon | wth | 02:14 |
| donald_ | Carbonflux: install using deb packages? | 02:14 |
| Talon | wtf did i do to you ? | 02:14 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, IDLE, and i think it wanted some updates for python.. etc.. and then did a small amount of messing around with it | 02:14 |
| q_a_z_steve | !baobab | 02:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about baobab - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:15 |
| Carbonflux | Talon, you need to install the 3D windows plugin, read this: http://forum.compiz-fusion.org/showthread.php?t=5303 | 02:15 |
| xMS_user | talon promise me something, no matter how hard it might get, stay open source. even if you leave ubuntu (but you sound like a reasonable guy) DO NOT go back to legacy | 02:15 |
| Talon | Thankyou Carbon | 02:15 |
| tritium | Talon: I removed him for that. Sorry he said that to you. | 02:15 |
| Carbonflux | donald_, its singlesun that is having the problem | 02:15 |
| Talon | I wont go to legacy, cause i dont know what legacy is :P | 02:15 |
| xMS_user | tritium: y he'd say that | 02:16 |
| Carbonflux | is IDLE a deb package ? | 02:16 |
| q_a_z_steve | Talon, sudo apt-get install baobab if you ever want to do that. Found it in the forums. | 02:16 |
| Talon | im the type of guy that if it aint broke i aint gonna fix it and so far Ubuntu aint broke hehe | 02:16 |
| tritium | xMS_user: I have no idea | 02:16 |
| xMS_user | Talon: bill gates and steve jobs are legacy | 02:16 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i just went "sudo apt-get install IDLE" | 02:16 |
| Talon | Ohh ok, well im using Windows XP on my desktop does that count as high treason ? | 02:16 |
| Ububegin | lets say i type "export AXISCPP_HOME=/usr/../../" how do i check whether it is actually set or not | 02:16 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, well, the error is the result of ccsm expecting a different version of libxslt | 02:16 |
| oich | I accidentally ran python setup.py install on some python module, did I just screw up dpkg? | 02:16 |
| xMS_user | i made a bash file that does "sudo apt-get install $1" cuz i am lazy as hell | 02:17 |
| tehmass | im having a error with mplayer.. iterrupted signal 6 module | 02:17 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, I would take a look in Synaptic package manager and see what you can find for that lib | 02:17 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, maybe you can revert, but that might break something else | 02:17 |
| tehmass | trying to play a divx file. Any other method you guys suggest than with mplayer ? | 02:17 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, well i found libxslt1.1 in the synaptic | 02:17 |
| Talon | Apranax, why did you say fuck you to me what did i do this time :) | 02:17 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, does it show as being installed ? | 02:18 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, it says i have it installed... yes | 02:18 |
| xMS_user | Talon: no way! we still need windows on earth. but make the transition. i have a small pc with xp that manages my media. (damn media player 11 does not run in wine) | 02:18 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, you could try "reinstall" but again, it might break something | 02:18 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, does IDLE work etc ? | 02:18 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, lol well its already... broken.. so why not... lol | 02:18 |
| fotoflo | hey, ive never done ssh tunneling before... i heard it can be done to access a remote samba service? | 02:18 |
| xMS_user | apranax is not here | 02:18 |
| Talon | The only reason i use Windows XP is to code my stuff and to play SWG really, i could live without it | 02:18 |
| tehmass | Whats a good way to go about playing divx codec movies? | 02:18 |
| xMS_user | you heard talon, he left | 02:18 |
| tritium | Talon: don't repeat the foul language, please. | 02:18 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, yeah idle still works.. | 02:18 |
| Talon | XMS: Do you know if Xfire works in Wine ? | 02:18 |
| Talon | Tritium : sorry mate | 02:18 |
| tritium | xMS_user: he didn't just leave. I removed him. | 02:18 |
| donald_ | tehmass: u have not looked at medibuntu? | 02:19 |
| xMS_user | tritium: lol! you right. | 02:19 |
| tehmass | I did not find it | 02:19 |
| fotoflo | anyone know anything about using ssh tunneling to access remote samba devices? | 02:19 |
| * xMS_user thinks to himself that he'd better not piss off any channel admins | 02:19 | |
| Talon | brb | 02:19 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, this libxslt 1.1 is also a package that can not be authenticated | 02:19 |
| xMS_user | talon what do you code? | 02:19 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, if you look at the error basicly what is happening is that ccsm is using libxslt to load a XML file containing the compiz settings, its called a function that does not exist in that lib in terms of the version you have installed | 02:19 |
| Talon | xms: C++ | 02:20 |
| whyshy | can compiz run on a virtual linux (in virtualbox), because for me iit doesn´t work. Is it maybe cause of the "virtual-graphic-device" | 02:20 |
| Talon | You wont like what i code :P but i make hacks for games :/ | 02:20 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, that is a bit weird | 02:20 |
| andresmujica | no, virtualization doesn't have support for 3D | 02:20 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, im thinking about reinstalling... LOL | 02:20 |
| donald_ | whyshy: compiz wont run in VM | 02:20 |
| somerville32 | Is there a gui that allows for easy management of ip aliases? | 02:21 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya, something does seem broken, that should be a supported lib | 02:21 |
| tehmass | what architure should i choose ?a/ b/ f/ h/ k/ libd/ m/ x/ | 02:21 |
| tehmass | for medibuntu in kubuntu | 02:21 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, :O this is the story of my life... lol.. i just finished reinstalling everything on my wife's pc today... now mine... lol | 02:21 |
| tehmass | nvm | 02:21 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya on this machine it shows that lib as being part of the supported stuff | 02:22 |
| whyshy | ok thank you @ donald_ and andresmujica!!!!!!! | 02:22 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, so something is messed up on your machine, you could try a sudo apt-get clean maybe | 02:22 |
| blick | I want to make a shell script that defines a useful function, and works either stand-alone or as a "library" (source filename.sh). Is there a good way to do this? | 02:22 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i will try that | 02:22 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, it seems like your RSA keys might be mess up or something | 02:22 |
| donald_ | tehmass: can u read the FAQ on medibuntu. about adding it to your /etc/apt/sources.list file? | 02:23 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, after the clean do a sudo apt-get update also | 02:23 |
| xMS_user | c++ and you use xp? now that is just plain silly | 02:23 |
| thebigham | How do i get intel x3100 graphic working with compiz??? | 02:23 |
| donald_ | thebigham: u need to add SKIP_CHECKS=yes to some file | 02:23 |
| Carbonflux | with VS2005 C++ is fully support in XP | 02:23 |
| Carbonflux | supported | 02:24 |
| Talon | xms: im used to it i guess | 02:24 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, alright i did both of those | 02:24 |
| Carbonflux | its not as good as gcc or something | 02:24 |
| === amblin_ is now known as amblin | ||
| xMS_user | Talon: i had a php script that did some db maintenence, on xp it would take about 5 - 7 minutes. on the same machine, debian ran it all in less than 1 minutes | 02:24 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, still not working... the verdict is... reboot... LOL | 02:24 |
| xMS_user | minute* singular | 02:24 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, and reinstall | 02:25 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya, something is messed up fairly bad, I am not sure you have to reinstall tho, you might try googling some of this first | 02:25 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, try the ImportError: line in google for example | 02:25 |
| Talon | hmm, brb xms having trouble with this 3d window download install stuff | 02:25 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, you can't be the first person to have this problem | 02:25 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, oh yes i can... that is usually the case.. lol | 02:25 |
| Carbonflux | lol | 02:25 |
| Carbonflux | guess thats why its the "bleeding" edge | 02:26 |
| Carbonflux | I just don't know anything about authentication problems with apt | 02:26 |
| Carbonflux | there might be a easy fix | 02:26 |
| xMS_user | does the cube thingy even work in gutsy? | 02:26 |
| singlesun | bleeding is usually the case... LOL | 02:26 |
| nemilar | Someone having gpg key errors with apt? | 02:27 |
| Carbonflux | I have gotten the desktop cube working fine, i showed it to my girl friend, she pretended to be impressed in a polite way and then I turned it off | 02:27 |
| nemilar | haha | 02:27 |
| donald_ | xMS_user: Compiz? works here | 02:28 |
| RequinB4 | that's funny | 02:28 |
| nemilar | compiz works great | 02:28 |
| thebigham | How do i install drivers for intel x3100 so compiz will work? | 02:28 |
| Carbonflux | ya, seriously, it works fine here too | 02:28 |
| mazev | compiz looks great and ups my productivity | 02:28 |
| whyshy | ehem sorry, but another stupid question: Is Lina a fake or will it ever be released! i mean, it was already released but not compiled! and because i doen´t know how to compile Lina, i just want to know if it would work ?! | 02:28 |
| nemilar | thebigham: your video isn't working properly? | 02:28 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, see mine was working all this time... i just couldnt edit it today... LOL... | 02:28 |

| RequinB4 | compiz-fusion is good even just for organizational puposes | 02:29 |
| Talon | xms: Once i finish installing this 3d windows and changing options do i have to do something to get them to apply ? :) | 02:29 |
| thebigham | donald_, how do i do that? | 02:29 |
| nemilar | The cube, and expo, and all that compiz stuff is productive... the "minimize in a blaze of fire" is just eye-candy | 02:29 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, well, I think you might be able to ignore the authentication issues for a time and just fix the compiz problem, there might be a way to refresh the keys or something | 02:29 |
| thebigham | there was a guy just couple hours ago who helped me to get it working, but i was using the wrong hard drive, now i have do every over again. | 02:30 |
| Carbonflux | I like compiz | 02:30 |
| Carbonflux | I use a lot of it, the window rules and stuff | 02:30 |

| Talon | Ahh, alwyas with the extras, thanks mate | 02:31 |

| nemilar | Talon: at some point you're gonna wind up mapping your mouse3 button to something, and your scroll wheel is going to stop working... just keep that in mind when you're wondering why you can't scroll in firefox, and then go back and unmap mouse3 ;) | 02:33 |
| nemilar | Talon: _everyone_ I know has done that | 02:33 |
| whyshy | Li..? | 02:33 |
| whyshy | L? | 02:34 |

| singlesun | Carbonflux, i would like to run something that is as stripped down as possible.. .but will still support its PCMCIA wireless card... | 02:34 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, need something light light weight, cuz i cant have it overheating due to fan being out... lol | 02:35 |
| nemilar | Talon: you can map any button on your mouse to pretty much anything you want...might take some doing though | 02:35 |

| Talon | true true, ill make sure i avoid that thoe | 02:35 |

| xMS_user | gparted is acting retarted | 02:38 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, just thinking about the fanless computer :) | 02:38 |
| donald_ | EmmerP: your mileage varies. u have to Google and narrow down to your specs | 02:38 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | xMS_user, you are looking for the fdisk command? | 02:39 |
| EADG | singlesun: hehe, ya, it is. It has a gui, fluxbox iirc. | 02:39 |
| EmmerP | donald_: yeah...that's what I first tried without luck :) | 02:39 |
| dduong | Ububegin: press the letter n | 02:39 |
| xMS_user | i dunno. let me man it and see | 02:39 |
| xMS_user | Jewfro-Macabbi: let me man it and see | 02:39 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, he's right imo, DSL is a good pick | 02:39 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | xMS_user, may the force be with you... | 02:39 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, it rotates very slowly... its been running XP and was designed for XP... but its just I really dont feel like spending the money to fix the fan... the fans are like 90 dollars and hard to get ahold of, company was KDS computers that went out of business | 02:40 |
| Ububegin | dduong: sweet .......dude... tks | 02:40 |
| Wiredtape_Away | anyone know if you can use ddr2 (675mhz) 2x512mb and ddr2 (800mhz) 2x1gb together? | 02:40 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, I have seen people do some really dirty fan hacks that seem to work ok, you might be able to adapt a fan from a old MB case or PSU maybe ? | 02:40 |
| donald_ | EmmerP: also, there are various reasons for not resuming. u need to determine what it is. some have no backlight or DPMS issues. some can be fixed by switching to console and back | 02:40 |
| dduong | Ububegin: not a problem my friend :) | 02:41 |
| spdf | Wiredtape_Away, the 800mhz willl get stepped down to 675 | 02:41 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Wiredtape_Away, It will run both at the slower rate | 02:41 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, but this is my luck... lol... i am running 32 bit ubuntu on my desktop even though it is a dual core 64 bit amd 4400+, 2 gig ram, nvida geforce 8500gt, 320gig hd.... the 64 bit ubuntu i had alot of issues with | 02:41 |
| EmmerP | donald_: thx, will try some more | 02:41 |
| Mazus | (18:36:11) (xMS_user) Mazus: compiz <-- i dont run compiz | 02:41 |
| Wiredtape_Away | Jewfro-Macabbi, but will be stable? | 02:41 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Wiredtape_Away, maybe, maybe not - it's generally not a good idea | 02:42 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, I am running 64bit on the same cpu, amd 4400 X2 | 02:42 |
| Wiredtape_Away | Jewfro-Macabbi, k , thx | 02:42 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, only difference is I have a geforce 8600 and no doubt the MB is different | 02:42 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, that is definently grunge, but you would have to see how the people built this fan, its ridiculous... fan is screwed up shape and size... and used proprietary components... definently wasnt meant to last | 02:42 |
| xMS_user | sry Mazus | 02:42 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya, fans are a pain, you see that a lot with gcards too | 02:43 |
| xMS_user | Jewfro-Macabbi: nope fdisk does not seem to be what i need | 02:43 |
| nemilar | Any idea how to access SMART features on a SATA drive connected via USB? | 02:43 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, this is the 8500gt with 512 meg ram on it... works decent | 02:43 |
| Talon | Nemilar, did you get my question mate ? | 02:43 |
| todd_ | is there a way to mount the network:// uri on the filesystem? | 02:43 |
| nemilar | Talon: no, what's up? | 02:43 |
| Talon | Hey Nemilar how to i apply settings with this 3d windows, because when i change its options nothing happens its just the same :/ | 02:43 |
| Talon | thats what me said :) | 02:43 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, well, that box should run 64bit np, I have a fairly good install on mine | 02:43 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | xMS_user, not familiar with any other good partition tools offhand... | 02:43 |
| * Cpudan80 Hopes this works | 02:43 | |
| adelie43 | will network monitor work with wireless cards using ndiswrapper drivers? | 02:43 |
| nemilar | Talon: you've got compiz running already? | 02:44 |
| donald_ | adelie43: yes | 02:44 |
| Talon | yup | 02:44 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, the only real issue I had was with the flash plugin | 02:44 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i had backtrack2 running on the laptop last night, but it was running hot.... ... i also do have the 64 bit ubuntu on boot disk... problem was getting flash and java to work.. etc | 02:44 |
| Talon | workin fine too, i see the 3d windows and all but none of my setting changes show up | 02:44 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, you just have to make sure you have the linux32 stuff installed | 02:44 |
| adelie43 | donald_: it isn't showing up | 02:44 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, but ya, you have to do a bunch of stuff by hand | 02:44 |
| nemilar | Talon: try prefs - appearances - visual effects - custom | 02:44 |
| donald_ | singlesun: too much horsepower? install 32bit Gutsy in VirtualBox for java n flash | 02:45 |
| adelie43 | donald_: it also doesn't show up in network tools, only iwconfig | 02:45 |
| xMS_user | i don't need to partion i need to format (sry if i sound like an idiot but they seem to be 2 diffrent things in windows) | 02:45 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, donald_ one sec, phone | 02:45 |
| tom__ | Hi, could somebody please help me with my USB drive? | 02:45 |
| donald_ | adelie43: it should. | 02:45 |
| nemilar | !ask | tom__ | 02:45 |
| ubotu | tom__: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:45 |
| JohnRobert | what version of Ubuntu should I use for a core 2 duo system? Does the standard kernel have SMP support? | 02:45 |
| Ex-Cyber | I just printed a 10-page PDF from evince; 6 pages printed, and then it just stopped; the "Document print status" window just says "stopped" for its status, and neither the printer itself nor anything else seems to be indicating an error... what's going on? | 02:45 |
| Talon | Nem: now im confused sorry were do i go :/ | 02:45 |
| rsk | JohnRobert: yep | 02:45 |
| Carbonflux | I am fairly happy with 7.10 in 64bit | 02:45 |
| adelie43 | donald_: can you be using wired and wireless at the same time with the same router? | 02:45 |
| JohnRobert | cool ta | 02:45 |
| todd_ | is there a way to mount the network:// uri as a /media entry on the filesystem? | 02:46 |
| nemilar | Talon: the Appearances control panel, visual effects tab | 02:46 |
| tom__ | Hello? | 02:46 |
| Carbonflux | it worked a lot better then I expected | 02:46 |
| nemilar | Talon: enable Custom | 02:46 |
| nemilar | !ask > tom__ | 02:46 |
| xMS_user | how do i format a partition? | 02:46 |
| donald_ | adelie43: it chooses one only | 02:46 |
| nemilar | xMS_user: use gparted | 02:46 |
| xMS_user | nemilar: it keeps crashing | 02:46 |
| nemilar | xMS_user: well that stinks....you comfortable with the command line? | 02:46 |
| Siph0n | hey every website and tutorial i read says to install windows first, than ubuntu..... but if i already have ubuntu (gutsy) installed, is it possible to install windows without messing up ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| tom__ | My drive shows up almost nowhere, and the light that indicated that it should be plugged in is not there | 02:46 |
| Talon | Well yeah ive been messin in that all day Nem, funny thing is none of my setting changes for the #d windows plugin work | 02:46 |
| Talon | 3d* | 02:46 |
| adelie43 | donald_: if I tried dhclient for the device, would it fail? said 'Network Down' | 02:46 |
| donald_ | Siph0n: yes | 02:47 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, back... but yeah i tried all that, and I screwed it up.. either i would get java or flash working... never both of them... lol | 02:47 |
| Siph0n | donald_, know of a tutorial for me to follow? :) | 02:47 |
| donald_ | adelie43: using dhclient will work only for open networks | 02:47 |
| nemilar | Talon: I had that same problem, I don't remember how I fixed it to be honest | 02:47 |
| adelie43 | donald_: open? | 02:47 |
| === ader10 is now known as ader10-ZzZzz | ||
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i do have the 64 bit boot disk sitting right here though... lol.... | 02:47 |
| nemilar | Talon: mess with it enough and it's bound to kick in | 02:47 |
| Talon | Damn, mabey i need to reinstall... | 02:47 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya, I made a special effort so I could try doing some C++ dev in 64bit | 02:47 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, the only thing that stops me is the java and flash... lol | 02:47 |
| LjL | !away > ader10-ZzZzz (ader10-ZzZzz, see the private message from Ubotu) | 02:47 |
| adelie43 | donald_: network only uses mac address filtering... hmm... | 02:47 |
| nemilar | tom__: is the drive mounted? | 02:48 |
| donald_ | Siph0n: well. keep a ubuntu alternate disk handy. boot rescue mode. | 02:48 |
| tom__ | No | 02:48 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i couldnt get the blackdown 64 stuff to work on here | 02:48 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, I just googled for: howto 64bit Ubuntu 7.10 flash | 02:48 |
| nemilar | tom__: do you know what device it's been assigned to? | 02:48 |
| tom__ | I can't figure out how to mount it | 02:48 |
| tom__ | No, I don't | 02:48 |
| arrg | Hey guys does Ubuntu supports games like warcraft 3? | 02:48 |
| evan_ | Hi I'm trying to get ascii extended characters supported in my terminal. ie: degree sign | 02:48 |
| nemilar | tom__: dmseg | grep -i disk | 02:48 |
| adelie43 | donald_: the mac address would be the same for a combo integrated wired/wireless card, right? | 02:48 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, and there is a bunch of teks out there on how to do it... and usually they end up failing on me... lol | 02:49 |
| jdh6403 | arrg: it runs wow and civ4 | 02:49 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, you need a compatablity layer like wine or cedega | 02:49 |
| arrg | how is that possible ? | 02:49 |
| donald_ | adelie43: no | 02:49 |
| nemilar | tom__: it should show some lines that start with "sd" and have [sdX] in them, what is the X? | 02:49 |
| jdh6403 | thru wine | 02:49 |
| tom__ | I think you spelt that command wrong | 02:49 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, well, there is hardly any performance difference anyway | 02:49 |
| jdh6403 | many other games too | 02:49 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, looks slightly better imo | 02:49 |
| nemilar | tom__: dmesg | grep -i disk | 02:49 |
| arrg | isn't games like warcraft 3 and wow made for only windows and mac ? | 02:49 |
| nemilar | tom__: spelled it right | 02:49 |
| adelie43 | donald_: cause this is a friends computer, and hated windows... wireless connected before reinstall. | 02:49 |
| evan_ | I'm getting ? in my terminal where I expect an ascii extended character ... | 02:50 |
| jdh6403 | http://appdb.winehq.org/ arrg go there | 02:50 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | xMS_user, see also cfdisk and mkfs commands | 02:50 |
| donald_ | adelie43: u may need a wireless key | 02:50 |
| jdh6403 | wine is a windows emulator | 02:50 |
| arrg | Yesi understand what you mean guys | 02:50 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29 | 02:50 |
| nemilar | tom__: what's the error you get running the command? or just no output? | 02:50 |
| tom__ | I don't know which one it is | 02:50 |
| arrg | but i still can't believe its possible | 02:50 |
| donald_ | sorry all, got to run | 02:50 |
| tom__ | The command worked | 02:50 |
| arrg | damn this is wonderful | 02:50 |
| tom__ | I don't know which drive it is, tho | 02:50 |
| arrg | so guess no need to buy windows xp or vista | 02:51 |
| jdh6403 | anything is possible in linux windows makes things impossible | 02:51 |
| adelie43 | donald_: I was reading something about broadcom cards having full support under 7.10. true? cause when I couldn't get it to connect initially, I used ndiswrapper. there is no wep key | 02:51 |
| nemilar | tom__: it has multiple entries, sda and sdb, for example? | 02:51 |
| arrg | true jdh6403 | 02:51 |
| tom__ | Yes | 02:51 |
| arrg | true | 02:51 |
| singlesun | what i want to know though... is how ubuntu is on one cd... and stuff like slackware, redhat... etc... are on about 6 cd's | 02:51 |
| Carbonflux | ya, linux is transparent | 02:51 |
| nemilar | tom__: try running fdisk -l | 02:51 |
| Carbonflux | so the only limit is your skill | 02:51 |
| nemilar | tom__: does it list your disk's partitions? | 02:51 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | singlesun, they just come with more optional packages on the disc | 02:51 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | singlesun, I'd guess since Ubuntu gives away CD's - that's partly why they try and stick to one disc | 02:52 |
| Carbonflux | Ubuntu is more net oriented | 02:52 |
| singlesun | Jewfro-Macabbi, yeah... i mean.. you can still just get whatever package you need... so i dunno why these other OS's dont do the same | 02:53 |
| evan_ | does anyone know how to get extended ascii characters to display | 02:53 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, its a judgment call, Ubuntu assumes you will have a broadband internet connection | 02:53 |
| singlesun | Jewfro-Macabbi, just thinking back is all, lol... and wondering why my 14 hour redhat installs took so long... when i can install ubuntu in less than 15 mins.. lol | 02:53 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | singlesun, most other's can actually be installed from the first disc only - with extras containing extra software - I know the Debian CD set is like that | 02:53 |
| Carbonflux | ya, Fedora is the same | 02:53 |
| Talon | Nem: My laptop overheated, it rebooted now it all works :D | 02:54 |
| Carbonflux | you can get minimal installs too iirc | 02:54 |
| arrg | wine is not an emulator ? | 02:54 |
| nemilar | Talon: haha, you might consider installing some temperature sensors | 02:54 |
| Carbonflux | its a compatibility layer arrg ;) | 02:54 |
| singlesun | Jewfro-Macabbi, Carbonflux, aha... and myself being a package-whore.... said "i want it all" ... so of course... | 02:54 |
| Carbonflux | heh | 02:54 |
| arrg | not bad | 02:54 |
| Andres_22rio4 | hello, why i can only share folders of my home and not of other partition? | 02:54 |
| arrg | isn't ubuntu good as windows ? | 02:54 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | arrg, correct - wine intercepts the call for a windows component and redirects to a suitable open source replacement - or tries... | 02:54 |
| Talon | Nem: yeah the fan in this thing has been broke for a long time. been debating about a cooling thing, but thanks for your help i gotta go now but im sure ill be back later, bye bye | 02:55 |
| |ns|nR8 | security reasons Andres_22rio4, permission restrictions | 02:55 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, basicly it just maps window api calls into linux calls, its only really slow when running directX stuff, if a program supports openGL like Wow for example it runs great | 02:55 |
| arrg | k | 02:55 |
| newbie | I need some help, my usb memory is infected with some files, and I cannot delete them. Each time I use it under windows, the files become unusable, and when I try to create a new folder, a lot of trashy files appear. The thing is that the virus file is read only, and I cannot erase it. Is there any command that would help me erasing definitively an specific file? | 02:56 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, seems im not the only person with a laptop in the closet that has a fan out... lol... accept when Talon's breaks it comes back fixed... | 02:56 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, you can run Wow in wine and take maybe only a 1/3 frame rate hit, if you have a fast machine its just as good as windows | 02:56 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, laptops suck :) | 02:56 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, thats why its in the closet... LOL | 02:56 |
| Carbonflux | you can't even put most of them on your lap | 02:56 |
| Carbonflux | it blocks the zillion fans they need | 02:56 |
| Andres_22rio4 | <|ns|nR8> how i can make it? | 02:57 |
| Ex-Cyber | ugh... I can print a test page, but if I try to print from evince the job just shows up as "stopped"... how do I fix this? | 02:57 |
| EADG | newbie: in a terminal you could use "sudo rm -f filename" | 02:57 |
| newbie | EADG, ok, thanks, will try that | 02:57 |
| jsoftw | I keep on getting weird lag with Terminal in xfce, for no reason I can find as yet, any ideas? Im low on cpu use, low on ram use... | 02:57 |
| xMS_user | would mkfs.ext3 -V /dev/sdc4 work? | 02:57 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, clearly it will never be as fast as native windows, but the advantage of not having to boot windows is a important for some people | 02:57 |
| newbie | EADG, I got this error -> rm: cannot remove `papps': Input/output error | 02:58 |
| Carbonflux | important one* | 02:58 |
| zedster | I was in earlier but maybe someone can try helping me again earlier I ran "apt-get remove udev" and it dumped the kernel I want to know if I can restore the kernel without a full reinstall | 02:58 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, people like me.. that have a vista ultimate partition that rarely gets logged onto... lol | 02:58 |
| Carbonflux | did you run it on your amd machine singlesun ? | 02:58 |
| xMS_user | mkfs.ext3 -V /dev/sdc4 | 02:59 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | xMS_user, if you were asking me, I don't know I didn't read the man | 02:59 |
| EADG | newbie: Hmm, never seen that before. Not sure what to try next... | 02:59 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, yep that is what i have it on ;) have to use it for work in visual studio | 02:59 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya, I ordered Vista Ultimate so I could play around with VS and DX10 | 02:59 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, was wondering how it ran on a amd 64 | 03:00 |
| Carbonflux | anyway, off topic here | 03:00 |
| Carbonflux | lol | 03:00 |
| newbie | hello, I need some help. I am trying to delete a virus file from a usb memory, using the rm -f command, but got this error-> rm: cannot remove `papps': Input/output error | 03:00 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, runs good... lol... oddly there can get to be some screwed up lag when initially loading even moderate sized solutions though | 03:00 |
| Carbonflux | k | 03:00 |
| osxdude | newbie: Try ejecting, unplugging, then pluggng back in your flash drive | 03:01 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, no doubt it takes a while to upload your source to M$ ;) | 03:01 |
| pawan | hi | 03:01 |
| osxdude | lol, my HDD was named "they have 6" | 03:01 |
| Carl- | hi | 03:01 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, or the solutions they keep sending me have extra hardrive killing things that instantly bog down my pc... lol... no.. i dont think so.. i think its the microshaft | 03:01 |
| newbie | osxdude, already tried that, but still got the same error | 03:02 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, VS 2005 ? | 03:02 |
| exophonix | what is the comman for stop firestarter please ? | 03:02 |
| newbie | that freaking virus is driving me nuts | 03:02 |
| osxdude | newbie: your flash drive might have the read protection on... | 03:02 |
| Carbonflux | exophonix, use the exit in the menu | 03:02 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, yep I had 2008 but the files they send me were 2005 so i had to switch back | 03:02 |
| hans_ | hi | 03:02 |
| Starnestommy | exophonix: sudo invoke-rc.d firestarter stop? | 03:02 |
| zedster | anyone have any ideas for me? | 03:02 |
| ojwb | Does anyone know if there's a way to rerun the keyboard layout detection you go through when installing? | 03:02 |
| arrg | do pc viruses affects linux ? | 03:02 |
| ojwb | without reinstalling that is... | 03:02 |
| Scunizi | I have one of my partitions labeled as "fuseblk" under type. What is fuseblk? | 03:02 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, normally no | 03:03 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, i didnt want to convert for 2k8 and then have them not be able to use naturally | 03:03 |
| arrg | but linux do have their own viruses right ? | 03:03 |
| singlesun | key word... = normally.... unless you are me... LOL | 03:03 |
| Carbonflux | singlesun, thanks for the info, ya I can see that, 2k8 is still beta anyway right ? | 03:03 |
| nemilar | poor tom__'s hard drive died | 03:03 |
| jack-desktop | can anyone explain how to use dbus.. or what it does? | 03:03 |
| newbie | osxdude, mmm I am not familiar with that. This flash drive is simple, has nothing special only the usb port. If you mean there is a hardware protection on, it is impossible. Now, could it be that it has some sort of software protection??? | 03:03 |
| Starnestommy | arrg: very few exist and the ones that do are harmless or don't exist in the wild | 03:03 |
| singlesun | Carbonflux, you can check out the demo from Microsoft ... its Express though | 03:03 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: as I understand it, it's a way for applications to communicate with each other | 03:04 |
| singlesun | note: I do not endorse the above action... lol | 03:04 |
| osxdude | newbie: what I meant was a little switch on the side of the flash drive | 03:04 |
| zedster | anyone in here a ubuntu master? | 03:04 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dbus | 03:04 |
| jack-desktop | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4233478&postcount=10 i want to beable to do that, but i don't have a "~/.dbus/user-dbus-address" | 03:04 |
| newbie | osxdude, nope, there is no such thing | 03:04 |
| osxdude | newbie: but that could be a possibility | 03:04 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, not really, for a lot of reasons, I mean I am sure there are a few but they are a lot harder to write and hide and propigate, also, linux is just not that popular on the desktop, you don't see a lot of botnets with linux machines in them for example, it a lot easier to see whats going on inside a linux machine and also your average linux user is a bit more technical. | 03:04 |
| osxdude | the little virus could have infected your flash drive... | 03:05 |
| Hulya_5 | hello all... | 03:05 |
| Hulya_5 | look at what you miss : http://i34.servimg.com/u/f34/11/90/17/15/hjk10.jpg | 03:05 |
| osxdude | newbie: can you copy stuff of of the flash drive? | 03:05 |
| arrg | ok | 03:05 |
| singlesun | what carbon said... sounds good... lol | 03:05 |
| Hulya_5 | look at what you miss : http://i34.servimg.com/u/f34/11/90/17/15/hjk10.jpg | 03:05 |
| Carbonflux | arrg, anything is possible tho :) | 03:05 |
| hans_ | Please, could anyone refer me to a good online bit torrent optimizing guide? | 03:05 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: that how-to is pretty advanced... but it's saying to create that file | 03:06 |
| newbie | osxdude, nope, it says that I do not have permissions to copy into that folder | 03:06 |
| singlesun | unless you are a supernewbleet like me... and you find ways to bump into things that will purposefully screw up no matter what system you are running | 03:06 |
| jack-desktop | nemilar, i got everything except that one part | 03:06 |
| === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||
| Carbonflux | singlesun, ya, happens to all of us that take risks | 03:06 |
| newbie | osxdude, do you know which command I can use to get rid of the permissions? I know it is something like chmod.... | 03:06 |
| jack-desktop | nemilar, i put the echo in the file and then it says file not found, i'm assuming it should be there.. in the /.dbus/ folder | 03:06 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: the ">" on a command-line is a way of saying "take the output and make it the contents of this file" | 03:07 |
| osxdude | newbie: chown and chmod, correct :) | 03:07 |
| Hulya_5 | danc3 whispers to Hulya_5:rnHow'd you like to get your ass kicked, motherfucker? | 03:07 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: do you have a ~/.dbus folder ? | 03:07 |
| jack-desktop | nemilar, no | 03:07 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: so create it ;) | 03:07 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: and then it should work fine | 03:07 |

| jsoftw | Ive got X11 running with no xorg.conf. It works cool, except I want to turn of compiz. How do i dump an xorg.conf so I can disable an option? | 03:11 |
| ale1 | is this the right place to ask about a bad iptables config? | 03:11 |
| LockesRabb | i pop in a dvd, it just opens a window with folders... | 03:11 |
| osxdude | nemilar: switch the buttons so left is right and right is left | 03:11 |
| troms | Quick question: how do I format an SD card? I have gParted installed, but it can't find the device | 03:11 |
| nemilar | ale1: you could definitely try asking | 03:11 |
| hans_ | Please, could anyone refer me to a good online bit torrent optimizing guide? | 03:11 |
| danc3 | thank you PriceChild | 03:11 |
| nemilar | osxdude: that's what I'm doing at the moment, but it's driving me MADDDDDD | 03:11 |
| zim__ | I am new to linux, how do I read a cd? I went to root and went into cdrom which was emtpy and then I tried /media/cdrom and /media/cdrom0, both empty do I need to mount it and if so how? | 03:11 |
| troms | hans_: torrentfreak.com | 03:11 |
| wease| | so change hands | 03:11 |
| osxdude | nemilar: use the enter key and the space bare AND the tab keys | 03:11 |
| Tm_T | !away > H4ck3rx|work | 03:11 |
| wease| | use the other hand | 03:11 |
| wease| | it will be fine | 03:11 |
| wease| | just kidding | 03:11 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, dvd playback is not directly supported by ubuntu... you have to install a few packages | 03:12 |
| newbie | osxdude, sorry I got no clue on how to use this :(. Could you give me an example? I used sudo su, then went to the flashdrive folder, and used 'chmod -R papps', but is says 'missing operand after papps' | 03:12 |
| Scunizi | When looking at System Monitor/File System it shows /media/sdb1 as type "fuseblk". Is that a file system type like ext3? That designation doesn't show up in my fsab for any of my partitions. | 03:12 |
| ale1 | @zim: what happens if you eject and then pop it in again? for me it opens a window automatically | 03:12 |
| carloc | hi i'm having trouble installing ubuntu on an hp tx2000 tablet pc | 03:12 |
| carloc | i'm having a whitescreen | 03:12 |
| nemilar | osxdude: all the stores around here are closed, so I went on craigslist and now I'm trading my nintendo64 for a wireless mouse and keyboard set...guy should be here in an hour. | 03:12 |
| carloc | sort of clouds | 03:12 |
| Cpudan80 | How can I get the gnome weather applet to download an extended forecast type thing? | 03:12 |
| carloc | when i put in the live cd | 03:12 |
| EADG | hans_: Google "torrent program name + wiki' Azareus has a good one for starters. | 03:12 |
| Cpudan80 | Like a 5 day text based forecast | 03:12 |
| nemilar | Cpudan80: I don't think you can :( the xfce applet is _so_ much better | 03:12 |
| carloc | does anyon eknow how to solve this? | 03:12 |
| danc3 | Cpudan80: did you read the documentation? | 03:12 |
| zim__ | ale1: im using server edition because I just wanted to have a personal LAMP to mess around with. no gui. I obviously installed off a cd though, so I know the drive works | 03:12 |
| LockesRabb | @singlesun, what packages do i need to install | 03:12 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | carloc - there's an alternate/text mode install cd availalbe also | 03:13 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, try this guide maybe http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-ubuntu-linux-playback-dvd/ | 03:13 |
| osxdude | newbie: I think what you need it << sudo chmod -R 1000 /media/<flash drive name> >> | 03:13 |
| Cpudan80 | danc3: Well it's not in the preferences... | 03:13 |
| H4ck3rx|work | thanks Tm_T | 03:13 |
| Cpudan80 | danc3: No, I did not read the man page | 03:13 |
| Scunizi | nemilar, maybe the xfce appelate will work in gnome? if it does tell Cpudan80 | 03:13 |
| nemilar | Cpudan80: maybe if we both write letters to the gnome-weather-applet team, we can get them to include the feature | 03:13 |
| danc3 | Cpudan80: no, I said "documentation", not "preferences" | 03:13 |
| carloc | will that solve the problem for an hp tx2000? | 03:13 |
| nemilar | Scunizi: I doubt it, I'm gonna try it out now | 03:13 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, really you just need the CSS libraries | 03:13 |
| ale1 | http://pastebin.com/d24b0591a <-- my default iptables | 03:13 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, perhaps sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh | 03:14 |
| Cpudan80 | danc3: No - I have not | 03:14 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | carloc, not certain - there's also network install for a quicker answer | 03:14 |
| Scunizi | danc3, what would you type for that.. man ?? | 03:14 |
| ale1 | I can't connect to anything with them, so I flushed them all and set policy to accept | 03:14 |
| danc3 | Cpudan80: perhaps you should | 03:14 |
| carloc | i'm gonna try downloading it now | 03:14 |
| yannick_1m | hi there | 03:14 |
| carloc | i get a white screen | 03:14 |
| ale1 | does anyone see a better way besides dumping my whole iptables? | 03:14 |
| carloc | sort of like a lava lamp | 03:14 |
| troms | So Ubuntu automounts the SD card, and I can open it and stuff, but I need to format it | 03:14 |
| singlesun | lol @ like a lava lamp | 03:15 |

| Jewfro-Macabbi | box_, get the gnome-art package | 03:18 |
| alexrudd | @scrophus: why not just install ubuntu-desktop and remove anything you don't want? | 03:18 |
| newbie | osxdude, ok | 03:18 |
| yannick_1m | zim__: usally the CD shoudl have benn mount automatically | 03:18 |

| scorphus | Jewfro-Macabbi: thanks, let me try it | 03:19 |
| CITguy | scorphus: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 03:19 |
| osxdude | zim__: the CD should mount when you put it in (by default). You may have to open a nautilus window and click "CD Drive" | 03:19 |
| scorphus | CITguy: okay | 03:19 |
| LockesRabb | still didnt work | 03:19 |
| nemilar | Who was asking about the gnome weather applet + forecast?? | 03:19 |

| LockesRabb | @singlesun, i opened it in totem, it plays, but there's blank screen, i tried opening it in gxine, but gxine errored out saying it couldnt read stream | 03:20 |
| xMS_user | sudo cp -rxvPa | 03:20 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, did dvd ever play for you in ubuntu? | 03:20 |
| dsnyders | LockesRabb, I've never had problems with mplayer | 03:20 |
| Kles | I'm using Ubuntu since my XP installation went off the deep end and I can't find my XP disc | 03:21 |
| LockesRabb | no, this is my first time enabling dvd playback | 03:21 |

| alexrudd | @zim: What about mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom? | 03:21 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, wait a second.... you said it plays but there is a blank screen? so you hear sounds but there is a blank screen? | 03:21 |
| Kles | How would I go about getting myself some graphics drivers for this? | 03:21 |
| === shock_ is now known as DeStephano | ||
| Kles | Or some audio? | 03:21 |

| LockesRabb | osx, yes | 03:22 |
| spithra | startx starts kde | 03:22 |
| box_ | after installing gnome-art where do u change options @ ? | 03:22 |
| osxdude | i've never met a deaf dude before :D | 03:23 |
| newbie | osxdude, I think I know why I could not copy my files. I was selecting all of the files including the corrupted files. Now I only selected the files that are ok, and it seems to be copying it. | 03:23 |
| jen2 | perhaps it would be better to ask this here than in the kde-specific chan, since it's more generalized: does gutsy (whether in main, universe, etc) have a driver in the repos that supports the via chrome9 k8m890's 3d features? | 03:23 |
| alexrudd | @scorphus: I'm not sure how aptitude is compared to synaptic, but you might want to go through and remove things you definitely don't want, like "gnome-pilot" | 03:23 |
| LockesRabb | @singlesun, let me try putting in a different dvd and see if its the same | 03:23 |
| LockesRabb | osx-- you still havent-- we didnt meet in person yet ;p | 03:23 |
| zim__ | alexrudd thanks, worked, didnt know what the name to mount it was (ive mounted usb, but it took a while to figure out what to call that too) | 03:23 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | box_, it's under system - preferences - art manager | 03:23 |
| osxdude | newbie: Glad sorted it ouy | 03:23 |
| zim__ | @ all who tried ot help me, thanks | 03:23 |
| osxdude | *out | 03:23 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, ummm.... ok.. if you are being serious... try another dvd i guess | 03:23 |
| box_ | tnx again | 03:23 |
| newbie | osxdude, Yeeeiii I could recover some files, thank you very much | 03:23 |
| Mr__ | holy cow did anyone ever see this thing it must be brand new or something | 03:23 |
| scorphus | alexrudd: hmm... let me take a look to this synaptic. thanks | 03:23 |
| Jewsus | Does ubuntu have another browser besides firefox? | 03:23 |
| alexrudd | @zim: for future reference, you can check out /etc/fstab for automatically configured mount points | 03:23 |
| jen2 | epiphany is available | 03:24 |
| LockesRabb | @singlesun, of course, why would i joke about the dvd not workin? | 03:24 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, i new to ubuntu as well... but i know that when i didnt have the right codecs sometimes vids would play the sound and not the actual video | 03:24 |
| osxdude | zim__ did you try << sudo mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 >> | 03:24 |
| wease| | aptitude has moo powers | 03:24 |
| nemilar | Jewsus: you can use Opera if you want | 03:24 |
| jen2 | you can also check out opera | 03:24 |
| wease| | thats the difference | 03:24 |

| Mr__ | lol | 03:24 |
| troms | what the default max limit of half-open connections in Ubuntu? or does it even work like that/ | 03:24 |
| Jewsus | hmm | 03:24 |
| alexrudd | @osxdude: yeah, he said that worked when I suggested it | 03:24 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | box_, gnome art just downloads/installs different themes/icons/windows borders for you - you can then use them via system - preferences - appearance | 03:24 |
| newbie | osxdude, one last question. I have never formated a flash drive from the command line before. Do you know how can I do it? Is there any option that erases EVERYTHING, not only the boot sector? | 03:24 |
| Mr__ | i just stumbled on this ourbuntu.com thing must be in the works or something | 03:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | sudo aptitude moo | sudo aptitude -v moo | 03:24 |
| LockesRabb | @singlesun -- i'd much rather NOT be deaf, i hate it, and i prefer not to mention it, i wouldn't have mentioned it if u hadnt asked me if i could hear it | 03:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | ;) | 03:24 |
| wease| | speed, exactly | 03:24 |
| alexrudd | does anyone know about iptables? | 03:24 |
| jen2 | troms: i don't even think that applies, as ubuntu has an *intelligently designed* tcp/ip stack | 03:24 |
| zim__ | alexrudd:i dont think it was autoconfig because it didnt spin the disk or give me anyoutputs when I put it in. for the usb that I had to manually mount (due to some windows weirdness in it) it at least popped up the init lines and the device gave indications it was connected | 03:24 |
| CITguy | spithra: This may sound stupid, but do you have Gnome installed? | 03:24 |
| Mr__ | anyone know of it? | 03:25 |
| speeddemon8803 | super cow powers baby :) | 03:25 |

| troms | hans_: ktorrent is a lot like utorrent, check torrentfreak or the utorrent forums | 03:26 |
| yannick_1m | (-v so you can see what's goig on :) | 03:26 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, lol go figure... lol | 03:26 |
| tumbleweed05 | is utorrent available for ubuntu? | 03:26 |
| wease| | i havent had the cows on my screen since 6.06 | 03:26 |
| arkanes | troms: bittorrent, left to its own devices, will saturate your bandwidth and it certainly can affect your browsing experience | 03:26 |
| LockesRabb | thanks dsynders & singlesun | 03:26 |
| miles_ | My soundcard wont work... checked alsamixer and im looking for the soundcard but I dont know my model of motherboard or sound card... | 03:26 |

| nemilar | tumbleweed05: no, it's a windows application | 03:26 |
| miles_ | I dont know what to do | 03:26 |
| nemilar | tumbleweed05: for something similar, check out deluge | 03:26 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, wouldnt have played without those CSS libraries though ;) | 03:26 |

| LockesRabb | @singlesun, haha yes | 03:27 |

| LockesRabb | @singlesun i'm checkin to see if mplayer supports subtitles | 03:27 |
| wease| | haha | 03:27 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | tumbleweed05, azureus | 03:27 |
| troms | arkanes: in windows, just having bittorrent on with a few dls is enough to cripple your browsing speeds | 03:27 |
| nemilar | !best | tumbleweed05 | 03:27 |
| ubotu | tumbleweed05: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 03:27 |
| rsk | tumbleweed05: azureus for gui and rtorrent for consile | 03:27 |
| wease| | it just says super cow powers arent available with my copy | 03:27 |
| osxdude | you are welcome newbie :) :) :D | 03:27 |

| Guest_548 | hey can someone please help me with an OS installation? having some issues.. | 03:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | weird | 03:27 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, hmm... that i do not know.. i never tried that | 03:27 |
| nemilar | there's got to be 500 BT apps for linux | 03:27 |

| nemilar | !ask > Guest_548 | 03:27 |
| newbie | could somebody tell me how can I format a usb drive from the command prompt? I need to erase EVERYTHING, not only the boot sector. There are some corrupted files that seem to not move/erase, so I need to destroy anything on that usb and make it usable again | 03:27 |
| tumbleweed05 | alright. transmission. i use that for my mac mini. | 03:27 |
| tumbleweed05 | thanks people. | 03:27 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, its been a very long time since i watched any movies... lol | 03:28 |
| neuber | Can anyone help me install nvidia drivers on a server kernel? | 03:28 |
| miles_ | Help for miles? | 03:28 |
| arkanes | troms: No, windows is capable of handling the load without much trouble. The problems are likely related to your upstream provider or your network, and won't neccesarily go away on ubuntu | 03:28 |
| miles_ | Help for miles/ | 03:28 |
| nemilar | neuber: why would you want nvidea drivers on a server? | 03:28 |
| CITguy | newbie: look for a tutorial for fdisk | 03:28 |
| LockesRabb | cool, subtitles work | 03:28 |
| neuber | nemilar i'm only using the server headers because i need the extended memory support | 03:28 |
| LockesRabb | interesting | 03:29 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, right on ;) | 03:29 |
| nemilar | neuber: tru | 03:29 |
| LockesRabb | every time i try to change to english subtitle, or skip to another chapter in dvd | 03:29 |
| arkanes | troms: a different BT client may have an effect | 03:29 |
| yannick_1m | miles_: what's your problem ? | 03:29 |
| LockesRabb | mplayer emits an error | 03:29 |
| troms | arkanes: I had to us LvlLord's EventID tcpip patcher in XP and sucurevista's tcpip patch in vista | 03:29 |
| LockesRabb | says "gnome_screen_saver_control()" | 03:29 |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, it says... watch the whole thing from beginning to end... lol | 03:29 |
| neuber | nemilar: i have a readme on how to do it but its really not helping | 03:29 |
| troms | i havent had any problems, just wondering if I would run into any | 03:29 |
| * wease| plays minesweeper in aptitude | 03:30 | |
| singlesun | LockesRabb, really i have no clue about that | 03:30 |

| miles_ | yannick_lm: I cant get my sound to work. I have an SiS card but I dont know the model. Its on a foxconn. Ive tried alsa mixer and ive checked to see if it is recognized and it is... | 03:30 |
| scorphus | alexrudd and CITguy: I think I should show you a screenshot of what I get, I'm sure you'll guide me to fix this. I have no window border, title and no window list on the bottom panel: http://img30.picoodle.com/img/img30/4/1/30/f_ubuntugutsym_42e884a.png | 03:30 |
| tumbleweed05 | i didn't know transmission was packaged with ubuntu. | 03:30 |
| tumbleweed05 | nice. | 03:30 |
| tumbleweed05 | alright but i'm out. thanks everyone. | 03:31 |
| arkanes | troms: if those patches are supposed to remove the connection throttling, that's a consequence of poorly behaved BT clients, not windows per se | 03:31 |
| scorphus | I just want to fix that... I don't really need all those hundred applications | 03:31 |
| yannick_1m | miles_: I'm sorry, I don't know much about sound cards. | 03:31 |
| CITguy | scorphus: try "metacity --replace" | 03:31 |
| miles_ | yannick_lm: thanks anyway | 03:31 |
| Kles | how do I run something as root? | 03:31 |
| scorphus | CITguy: ok | 03:31 |

| Jewsus | A website says an applet is supposed to pop-up in another window, but it isn't working in firefox | 03:31 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | scorphus, you might try the aptitude search tool - I think the base package is called gnome-core but search fore gnome and it will list everything | 03:31 |
| Kles | thanks | 03:31 |
| Jewsus | but it doesn't show the pop-up blocker thing | 03:32 |
| Kles | uhhh | 03:32 |
| scorphus | CITguy: metacity --replace fixed it | 03:32 |
| troms | arkanes: I use utorrent, and max that sucker out, if i use the default amount in vista, I get decent bt speeds, but with the patch i get awesome bt speeds and great speeds everywhere else | 03:32 |
| scorphus | Jewfro-Macabbi: let me try it | 03:32 |
| Kles | it asks as a password - what do I put in? I don't have a password | 03:32 |
| scorphus | thanks | 03:32 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: do you see a lightbulb on the bottom right hand side of the window? | 03:32 |
| Guest_548 | Can someone please help? After my first successful installation of Gutsy, my OS won't boot.. What could I have done wrong? | 03:32 |
| singlesun | anyone really bored??.... check this out... telnet this.... or better yet... just put this in your terminal "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" | 03:32 |
| CITguy | scorphus: you're welcome | 03:32 |
| Jewsus | CITguy, non | 03:32 |
| Jewsus | no* | 03:32 |
| neuber | kles i think you need to set one first... | 03:32 |
| yannick_1m | Kles: try sudo su - aand put your awn pass | 03:32 |
| Jordan_U | Guest_548, What happens when you turn the computer on? | 03:32 |
| Pici | !sudo | Kles | 03:33 |

| singlesun | Carbonflux, you still there? | 03:33 |
| arkanes | troms: If you're the sort of person to whom BT traffic is important enough that you'll install binary patches to your tcp stack just to try to get faster downloads, well more power to you | 03:33 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: what version of Ubuntu and Firefox are you using? | 03:33 |
| jsoftw | How do i get an xorg.conf ? | 03:33 |
| Guest_548 | It freezes at the initial Ubuntu screen with the orange progress bar. Freezes about 10% of the way. | 03:33 |
| Jewsus | ubunty 7.10 gutsy, firefox version 2.0.0.11 | 03:33 |
| troms | arkanes: lol, i live off bt | 03:33 |
| arkanes | troms: there's nothing that patching the stack does that fixing the BT clients won't do. BT clients are not well known for being reliable and well behaved network applications | 03:33 |
| neuber | anyway... anyone want to help me install nvid drivers on server kernel? | 03:33 |
| Jordan_U | jsoftw, You most likely already have one... What are you trying to do? | 03:34 |
| Jewsus | ubuntu* | 03:34 |
| CITguy | Guest_548: when that loading screen shows up press ALT+F1 to see what your machine is doing | 03:34 |
| Kles | urk | 03:34 |
| Kles | what is a "X server" | 03:34 |
| Jordan_U | neuber, Why are you using the server kernel? | 03:34 |
| alex_rudd | ARGH I hate university network. (1) It decimates network-manager (2)It blocks IRC! | 03:34 |
| Guest_548 | I've tried the Live CD and the alternate CD for Gutsy and the alternate CD for Fiesty. | 03:34 |
| jsoftw | Jordan_U: i dont have one. | 03:34 |
| dsnyders | Hi all! I want to merge the contents of some directories. Would a version control software be of any use? | 03:34 |
| neuber | jordan_u for the extended memory support | 03:34 |
| alex_rudd | anyway, sorry for vent. Anyone know iptables? | 03:34 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | neuber, perhaps module-assistant? | 03:34 |
| jsoftw | Jordan_U: im trying to get one. Then I will disable Composite things for nvidia. | 03:34 |
| Guest_548 | Let me try that, hold on. | 03:34 |
| CITguy | Kles: X server is the program that allows you to have a desktop, windows and the sort | 03:35 |
| troms | arkanes: bittorrent is built to misbehave, no one thought you've dling chucks from thousands of connections at once | 03:35 |
| arkanes | Kles: the X server is the application that provides the graphical interface for your ubuntu installation | 03:35 |
| Kles | oh yuck | 03:35 |
| jsoftw | Unless its somewhere other than /etc/X11/xorg.conf, then I dont have one. | 03:35 |
| FrankieB333 | I need help with my screen resolution and xserver!! | 03:35 |
| alex_rudd | @dsnydners: have you looked into unison? | 03:35 |
| Kles | I can't install these drivers when it's running | 03:35 |
| arkanes | troms: untrue, but there's not really anything more to say. | 03:35 |
| neuber | jewfro-macabbi, i know nothing of module assistant... | 03:35 |
| peterpants | I'm trying to run a C program i wrote using gcc, but everytime i run ./a.out scanf doesn't seem to pick up the input and the variable is the same.., any ideas? | 03:35 |
| Jewsus | CITguy, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 gutsy, and firefox version 2.0.0.11 | 03:35 |
| Jordan_U | neuber, You have 4+ GIG of RAM on a 32 bit machine? | 03:35 |
| miles_ | Is it necessary to restart to hear sound/ | 03:35 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: ok, gimme a sec | 03:35 |
| Guest_548 | alt f1 isnt doing anything, screen is still frozen | 03:35 |
| Jewsus | ok | 03:35 |
| FrankieB333 | I need help with my screen resolution and xserver!! | 03:35 |
| neuber | jordan_u, correct | 03:35 |
| jsoftw | peterpants: gcc foo.c -o myapp | 03:35 |
| LockesRabb | okay | 03:35 |
| jsoftw | ./myapp | 03:35 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | neuber, I'm looking for you - it's a way to install graphics drivers | 03:36 |
| troms | arkanes: im not gonna worry about it, just something from windows I expected to find in ubuntu and pleasenlt suprised that I havent | 03:36 |
| LockesRabb | i solved the gnome_screensaver_control() error in mplayer | 03:36 |
| FrankieB333 | how? | 03:36 |
| jsoftw | Cmon people. How do I dump xorg's config. | 03:36 |
| LockesRabb | all i had to do was go in preferences and uncheck the "stop xscreensaver" option | 03:36 |
| Jordan_U | neuber, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 03:36 |
| LockesRabb | that solved it | 03:36 |
| FrankieB333 | nice | 03:36 |
| jsoftw | Im running with no xorg.conf right now, how do I dump what xorg is currently running as. | 03:36 |
| peterpants | jsoftw: i tried that but my scanf still isn't setting the variable :( | 03:36 |
| FrankieB333 | but i still need help with my xorg and what not | 03:36 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: does the applet work fine otherwise? | 03:36 |
| jsoftw | then its your code | 03:36 |
| stelt | workaround for broken partitioner ? | 03:37 |
| alex_rudd | @jsoftw dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg would do it, I think. I don't know enough about it to recommend it, though | 03:37 |
| Jewsus | There is no applet, it's supposed to open another window and load in that window | 03:37 |
| Guest_548 | if i turn it off and the progress bar first starts running and actually moving, when i press alt f1 it starts scrolling, numbers in the front of the message increasing but cant read what it says, scrolling very fast | 03:37 |
| Kles | hmmm, I'm not likely to find sound drivers for my built in audio :/ | 03:37 |
| troms | I need to format an SD card, I have gparted and the the device automounts, but gparted can't find it | 03:37 |
| dsnyders | alex_rudd, I don't want to synchronize the directories. I want to eliminate duplicate files. | 03:37 |
| FrankieB333 | ive been doing dpkg-reconfigure for the past half hour | 03:37 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: do you have javascript enabled? | 03:37 |
| jsoftw | alex_rudd: thanks | 03:37 |
| Jewsus | um but applets work in other pages, when they don't load in separate windows | 03:37 |
| FrankieB333 | and it hasn't been giving me the settings i want | 03:37 |
| Jewsus | yes javascript is enabled | 03:37 |
| arkanes | jsoftw: I don't think you can. Why did you delete your xorg.conf? | 03:37 |
| yannick_1m | jsoftw or simply sydi dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core | 03:37 |
| Jordan_U | jsoftw, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" but why don't you have an xorg.conf | 03:37 |
| alex_rudd | @dsnyders: you can merge dupes, or copy one to the other. Then delete the extra directory | 03:37 |
| yannick_1m | you'll have to answer less questions | 03:37 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: could you post the link so I can try? | 03:37 |
| Jewsus | okay, http://optimallearning.org/cb/indexo.html | 03:38 |
| scorphus | CITguy: :/ everytime I login I have to do metacity --replace, what am I still missing? | 03:38 |
| alex_rudd | iptables help anyone? | 03:38 |
| FrankieB333 | what is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core supposed to do? | 03:38 |
| Jordan_U | scorphus, System -> Preferences -> Appearance | 03:38 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: I did not delete it. | 03:38 |
| scorphus | ok | 03:38 |
| arkanes | jsoftw: then where did it go? | 03:38 |
| jsoftw | I added a new monitor, and its not working properly with my origional xorg.conf | 03:38 |
| jsoftw | ffs. | 03:38 |
| jsoftw | Stop trying to sidetrack the issue. | 03:39 |
| dsnyders | alex_rudd, I'll take a closer look at unison, then. | 03:39 |
| dsnyders | alex_rudd, What sort of help do you need with iptables? | 03:39 |
| jsoftw | xorg runs fine right now, _except_ that I want to disable one option | 03:39 |
| jsoftw | for which afaik I need an xorg.conf for. | 03:39 |
| nemilar | pppoe_dude: nice site man, I'm at www.techthrob.com | 03:39 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: It's not working for me either. I suspect the applet isn't working properly. | 03:39 |
| arkanes | if X is running, then it had a (working) xorg.conf when it started | 03:39 |
| arkanes | if that xorg.conf is no longer present, you did something to change it | 03:39 |
| arkanes | undo whatever you did | 03:40 |
| Jewsus | CITguy, I remember the applet used to work fine when I was running windows | 03:40 |
| jack-desktop | does anyone live where it's raining right now? | 03:40 |

| Jewsus | yes | 03:40 |
| EADG | ... it's raining then :) | 03:40 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: were you using firefox with windows? | 03:40 |
| dsnyders | EADG, snow is not rain. You don't have to shovel it. | 03:40 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: WRONG. | 03:40 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | neuber, "module-assistant" is a package in universe, info on it on this page: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers?highlight=%28nvidia%29#Libraries | 03:40 |
| RB2 | By any chance, does anyone know (or have a link to any information) what the performance difference under compiz is between the NVidia Quadro NVS 140M and the Quadro FX 570M? | 03:40 |

| dsnyders | alex_rudd, The pastebin is empty. | 03:42 |
| * Pici pokes the bot | 03:42 | |
| ubotu | sarixe: 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. | 03:42 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: no it did NOT. | 03:42 |
| sarixe | thanks | 03:42 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: I'm sorry, from all of the information I'm getting, it seems to be a problem with the way the applet is coded. | 03:42 |
| arkanes | then it's not a "normal login screen" | 03:42 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: Look dude. | 03:42 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: you are wrong. | 03:42 |
| Jewsus | hmm, okay | 03:42 |
| CITguy | Jewsus: I would contact the developer to see if they have a solution. | 03:42 |
| alex_rudd | @dsnyders: Yes, I had to copy it to paper from Ubuntu, and I'm on windows now :( | 03:42 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: its running _without_ an xorg.conf right now, mmm kay? | 03:42 |
| navetz | can somone tell me how I can reallocate the amount of space on my virtual XP partition in vmware-server | 03:42 |

| Ububegin | how can i increase my workspaces... | 03:42 |

| arkanes | or rather, it didn't start that way | 03:43 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: ls: /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 03:43 |
| arkanes | it certainly didn't from a "normal" login screen | 03:43 |
| jsoftw | dude, its from that ubuntu login screen, you know, that normal one. | 03:43 |
| alex_rudd | restart time yay | 03:43 |

| jsoftw | arkanes: its a single file man. stop being a dork. | 03:46 |

| goodtimes | someone sent me their config file for their kernel but they compiled it as a 32 bit kernel, what settings do I need to change to make this a 64 bit kernel? | 03:48 |
| arkanes | jsoftw: if your X configuration has changed, then you have a changed config file and you have restarted X to see it | 03:48 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: ahh uh | 03:48 |
| L3ttuc3 | saturdayplace that would be an idea. | 03:48 |
| Guest_548 | I'm trying to boot Feisty on a Dell Dimension 2350. I have Gutsy installed in it as well because I had the same problem with it. It freezes in the process of booting where the Ubuntu logo is and the orange progress bar appears. It hangs at around 10%. Pressing alt+F1 shows what it's doing, but all it shows is a series of numbers (going in order) and characters scrolling by really fast. Something like this "[421.453423] [<c01gf75fhf>] | 03:48 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: actually I moved the config file. | 03:48 |
| arkanes | okay | 03:48 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: so there is no xorg.conf anymore. | 03:48 |
| arkanes | that's not the same thing | 03:48 |
| jsoftw | As mentioned above. | 03:48 |
| arkanes | jsoftw: have you restarted X since then? | 03:48 |
| jsoftw | yes, as I already mentioned. | 03:49 |
| arkanes | I don't believe you | 03:49 |
| jsoftw | Thats your problem, _not_ mine. | 03:49 |
| mynyml | is there an official fix for the flash problem? | 03:49 |
| Pici | jsoftw: your last /var/log/Xorg.0.log should show what config file its running out of. | 03:49 |
| mynyml | or a .deb package floating somewhere? | 03:49 |
| arkanes | possibly failsafe X saved you? | 03:49 |
| [eW]DaRk|ubuntu | any ideas why i get this error when testing my mic? Failed to construct test pipeline for 'gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat' | 03:49 |

| bra1 | I'm trying to instal 7.04 on a laptop, live runs fine, but partitioning isn't something I'm any good at | 03:52 |
| arkanes | bra1: are you trying to co-exist with an existing OS, or installing over the entire thing? | 03:53 |
| bra1 | co-exist | 03:53 |
| arkanes | the installation wizard should have an option to resize your existing partition | 03:53 |
| Falstius | bra1: depending on your needs, wubi might be a good option | 03:54 |
| lanzelloth_ | what do suspend and hybernate do? | 03:54 |
| thefool_ | ok, well the first thing you need to do is backup your data as unless you have a second harddrive or an empty partiton you will need to resize the one you have. And resizing has a slight risk of totally fubaring everything | 03:54 |
| jsoftw | L3ttuc3: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54174/ | 03:54 |
| sapperjanko1 | hey all, im having some probs with samba and been able to write to it, i can log in as the user and see where i wanna b... this is what is in the config file... [MyFiles] - create mack = 0644 - writeable = yes - path = /var/www - write list = travis,mark,@mark,@travis - force group = mark - force user = mark - directory mode = 0755..... the - is for a new line | 03:54 |
| jsoftw | arkanes: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54174/ | 03:54 |
| Falstius | bra1: it lets you install ubuntu to empty space on your windows partition so you don't need to resize or format partitions. | 03:54 |
| fluvvell | Guest_548: have you tried some different boot settings? | 03:55 |
| alex_r | @Falstius: that's a hack. He's better off just sucking it up and learning partitions. :P | 03:55 |
| thefool_ | lanzelloth_: suspend is like sleep, hibernate writes your ram to the hard drive and shuts the computer down. When you start it back up you are back where you were, unsaved documents open and all | 03:55 |
| Guest_548 | Where can I select different boot settings? | 03:55 |
| Guest_548 | Or how, rather? | 03:55 |
| sycho | Did they remove Gnome from the 7.10-i36-alternate install? | 03:55 |
| arkanes | jsoftw: it's the fancy new failsafe. Pretty impressive, too. The config it's using is inline in the logfile, you should be able to copy that to a new xorg.conf | 03:55 |
| Guest_548 | I boot from HD if thats what you mean | 03:56 |
| Jordan_U | bra1, Ubuntu can partition your drive for you automagically ( have any important data backed up as with any time you mess with partitions ) | 03:56 |
| Falstius | alex_r: it works well, is easy and is safe. Perfect for experimenting. Once he likes ubuntu, he can wipe his windows install and do it all fresh. Traditional dual booting is archaic. | 03:56 |
| bra1 | I've got important stuff backed up, working on it now | 03:57 |
| linchapulin | Anyone have experience with Wine(the emulator)? How do I increase the hard drive size? | 03:57 |
| lanzelloth_ | thefool_: suspend/sleep = offs monitor, HDD? | 03:57 |
| fluvvell | Guest_548: there may be some specifics for your dell, but you could try noacpi in the boot string. You need to edit the grub line | 03:57 |
| Jordan_U | Falstius, archaic is going a bit far | 03:57 |
| thefool_ | lanzelloth_ yep | 03:57 |

| alex_dinamo | any ideas, anyone? | 04:01 |
| fluvvell | Guest_548: They also suggest that in the grub boot line using nosplash should help. | 04:01 |

| fluvvell | Jordan_U: his dell cant get past the splash screen. | 04:02 |
| thefool_ | Jordan_U: mainly because I do a lot of experimenting in interpreters and would like to be able to grep through logs and see how I did this or that | 04:02 |
| L3ttuc3 | Devinion you can turn that off. its probably selected by default in the networks list under the freenode network. or you put it there that way. | 04:03 |
| thefool_ | EADG_: thanks compiling it now | 04:03 |
| Jordan_U | Devinion, That can be turned off, just connect directly to irc.freenode.net and stop auto joining to "ubuntu servers" | 04:03 |

| thefool_ | Jordan_U: does that work when you enter an interpreter, a text editor, switch shells etc? I didn't think so | 04:05 |
| Jordan_U | [eW]DaRk|ubuntu, just run "alsamixer" in a terminal | 04:05 |

| sathehand | Adelie43, would it be okay if I re-post? | 04:26 |
| tritium | csatlose: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg automatically saves a backup copy in /etc/X11. Is that what you used? | 04:26 |

| ubuntuuserinneed | I'm currently trying to install ubuntu and I selected to manually edit the partition. | 04:47 |
| czr | russ, although it might just be a caching dns service, not a full blown DNS server like BIND for example. | 04:47 |
| galacticone | tritium the files it says to edit come up as blanks for me | 04:47 |
| russ | that's cool. | 04:47 |
| tritium | galacticone: which file is blank? Which URL are you trying to follow? | 04:47 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: and why would you say that? is it a higher level one, does it have nice syntax, what? | 04:47 |
| galacticone | tritium the god damm ubuntu wifi docs wpa page | 04:47 |
| tritium | hotmonkeyluv: yes to both | 04:47 |
| tritium | galacticone: calm down, and please don't use foul language here | 04:48 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: I see | 04:48 |
| phuzion | jrib, so just install the .deb from http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=53648&stc=1&d=1198033466 ? | 04:48 |
| galacticone | tritium Im terribly frustrated ubuntu has alot of problems | 04:48 |
| jrib | phuzion: yes, that is one way | 04:48 |
| phuzion | Alright, cool | 04:48 |
| tritium | galacticone: you may be frustrated, but keep the channel family-friendly please | 04:49 |

| novato_br | how can I get record my desktop with mencoder? | 04:50 |
| Creedence | hi all | 04:50 |
| jomasecu | My computer gets stuck at the very beginning of the install. It says "1. FD 1.44MB System Type-(06)" and then nothing. I don't have a floppy drive. | 04:51 |
| Creedence | quick q, does anyone know if there is a tool to sync offline files for ubuntu from a samba share? kinda like windows? | 04:51 |
| tritium | galacticone: yes, I see there is an inconsistency with the wiki page and gutsy. Have you tried first to use Network Manager to setup wpa? It should "just work." | 04:51 |
| galacticone | tritium it didnt just work at all | 04:51 |
| galacticone | tritium it connected to another wireless network | 04:52 |
| novato_br | how can I get to record my desktop with mencoder? | 04:52 |
| galacticone | tritium the gnome netowkr manager is one of the worst programs ive seen, it reminds me alot of windows | 04:52 |
| tritium | galacticone: so, NM is working. That's a good start. | 04:52 |
| tritium | galacticone: please just double-check that wpasupplicant is installed. | 04:53 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | guys, they say that I should mount a partition on /, does this refer to the partition I want ubuntu to be installed on? | 04:53 |
| czr | Creedence, rsync if you like command line | 04:53 |
| galacticone | tritium how do i do that? | 04:53 |
| tritium | galacticone: apt-cache policy wpasupplicant will list the installed version (if any) | 04:53 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: Yes | 04:53 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | thanks spdf | 04:54 |
| Creedence | czer323, that's cool, but is there a tool to automate it? I am looking to have files synced with my home server on my laptop | 04:54 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: / is the root file system | 04:54 |
| evan_ | How do I get ascii extended characters to show up in gnome-terminal??????? | 04:54 |
| galacticone | tritium its installed | 04:54 |
| czr | Creedence, you can automate anything command line driven with a script | 04:54 |
| Creedence | czr, true, but I am not quite at that level at the command line yet | 04:55 |
| Creedence | czr, u know of anything GUI based? | 04:55 |
| tritium | galacticone: okay, good. So, when you attempt to connect, you choose your SSID? Do you know that the router is configured properly? (Perhaps another machine uses wpa with it successfully?) | 04:55 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | guys, about the bootloader how do I ascertain that it's the correct device to install on? | 04:55 |
| galacticone | tritium my windows machine connects to it great along with my mac | 04:55 |
| czr | Creedence, I don't use GUI for that stuff, so no. But if you do 'apt-cache search synchronize', it should give you a list of packages that might be more of the kind that you're looking for | 04:55 |
| evan_ | I need ascii characters for working in the terminal | 04:56 |
| evan_ | -__- | 04:56 |
| Creedence | czr, cool | 04:56 |
| galacticone | tritium the windows machine is my dual boot windows and ubuntu | 04:56 |
| Creedence | czr, thanks for your help! much appreciated | 04:56 |
| tritium | galacticone: good. So what happens when you setup NM to connect to it? | 04:56 |
| evan_ | you know this is dumb lol works perfectly fine in windows | 04:56 |
| czr | Creedence, once you find a package that looks promising, use apt-cache show <packagename> to display more information about it | 04:56 |
| galacticone | tritium it just doesnt work or stalls for a long period of time | 04:56 |
| czr | Creedence, or you the graphical package manager, different front end, same database :-) | 04:56 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: Are you installing to your primary HD? | 04:56 |
| czr | you=use even. | 04:56 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | spdf: thats exactly it, I'm not sure if this is the primary HD. | 04:57 |
| tritium | galacticone: have you looked at logs in /var/log/? /var/log/daemon.log is a good start | 04:57 |
| galacticone | tritium basically its incredibly buggy | 04:57 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | I mean, in the BIOS I set it to load this one first, and on the mobo its the first sata port | 04:57 |
| tritium | galacticone: it works well for many people. | 04:57 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | but it shows up as SCSI3 on ubuntu | 04:57 |
| galacticone | tritium i wouldnt know what anything in those logs means | 04:57 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | and sdb | 04:57 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: If its set to load that one first, then its the primary, so that should be where grub is install | 04:57 |
| tritium | galacticone: there may be some other underlying issue here in your case. | 04:57 |
| scorphus | hello again. I get no window borders and titles, nor window list on the panel, look: http://img30.picoodle.com/img/img30/4/1/30/f_ubuntugutsym_42e884a.png How do I fix this? | 04:58 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | spdf: would that be hd0? because I tried earlier and its not working... | 04:58 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: Do you have another hd in there? | 04:58 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | I have 3 HDDs on this pc | 04:58 |
| galacticone | tritium my log is empty | 04:58 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: Do you also boot windows? | 04:58 |
| tritium | galacticone: which wireless chipset? | 04:59 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | not for now, going to soon though. | 04:59 |

| ubotu | j3s3r: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 05:01 |
| czr | hotmonkeyluv, a lot of the more interesting environments (science/research) use python a lot | 05:01 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: I'm just looking for a lingo that'll be fun to learn, easy to use, powerful, and in demand. | 05:01 |
| klan-chuki-dialo | hola alguien me puede decir como uso mi escaner | 05:01 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: I like science | 05:01 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | spdf: hello? | 05:01 |
| czr | hotmonkeyluv, although you should probably ask the question on #python instead | 05:01 |
| tritium | !es | klan-chuki-dialo | 05:01 |
| ubotu | klan-chuki-dialo: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 05:01 |
| tritium | hotmonkeyluv: don't we all? | 05:02 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: Is there a good program for writing code in? I've used gedit once, seemed ok for bash scritps | 05:02 |
| klan-chuki-dialo | ok | 05:02 |
| galacticone | tritium is there anything else I can do?? | 05:02 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | spdf: I used to use windows, I encountered some problems that I cannot ascertain, so I'm trying to use ubuntu to see if the problems occur here too, and perhaps find if there are diagnostic tools for linux that can see what the problem is | 05:02 |
| galacticone | tritium will wireless ever work for my laptop? | 05:02 |
| scorphus | mazev, jrib: this is a gutsy server, and I needed to install graphical environment, so I just did "aptitude install gdm" and got this. Looks like there is some crucial package missing | 05:02 |
| tritium | galacticone: you've already shown that it works (with another wireless network) | 05:03 |
| lost_in_space | wireless works on my laptop | 05:03 |
| tritium | hotmonkeyluv: yes, there are several IDEs available. | 05:03 |
| soldats | scorphus, a graphcal enviroment is the X windows enviroment | 05:03 |
| evan_ | k little help here.. | 05:03 |
| galacticone | tritium well it is right now | 05:03 |
| czr | scorphus, aptitude install ubuntu-desktop = full graphical environment | 05:03 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: Just install grub to whichever you're booting first (in this case, the hd you installed to)... if its sdb, then its like (1,0) | 05:03 |
| scorphus | soldats: right, you know what I mean | 05:03 |
| spdf | ubuntuuserinneed: its likely* | 05:04 |
| galacticone | tritium im speaking to you with it | 05:04 |
| czr | scorphus, gdm is just the graphical login/display manager. | 05:04 |
| soldats | scorphus, look at what czr wrote you | 05:04 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: thanks for the tips, I'll ask in #python about the ide | 05:04 |
| scorphus | czr: I don't need all of those extra 400+ packages, do I? | 05:04 |
| Jangari | i have to search an entire server for a bunch of wav files all with "SDM" in their name, what's the syntax for ls to do that? | 05:04 |
| tritium | galacticone: so, it definitely works. wireless chipsets that require ndiswrapper are sometimes problematic | 05:04 |
| czr | scorphus, if you're lazy, yes. if not, it's going to be painful :-) | 05:04 |
| tritium | hotmonkeyluv: good luck | 05:04 |
| scorphus | czr: I don't feel like I'm lazy | 05:05 |
| scorphus | :) | 05:05 |
| soldats | Jangari, locate *SDM*.wav | 05:05 |
| czr | scorphus, you could try xubuntu-desktop instead | 05:05 |
| mazev | scorphus, you probably don't need all those packages but it will save you time | 05:05 |
| scorphus | just need some tips... | 05:05 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | (1,0) ? | 05:05 |
| hotmonkeyluv | tritium: thanks! | 05:05 |
| Jangari | soldats: can't I do it with ls -R? | 05:05 |
| mazev | scorphus, most servers don't use gui | 05:05 |
| galacticone | tritium Im looking at my logs and its showing Im not putting in the right wireless key | 05:05 |
| soldats | Jangari, ls -R list all dirs recursivvely | 05:06 |
| tritium | galacticone: ah, hopefully it's something simple like that! | 05:06 |
| galacticone | tritium my wireless key is case sensitive how can I be sure Im adding it correctly? | 05:06 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | partition #2 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) as ext3 partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb) as swap <--- so what do I type into the advanced window? | 05:06 |
| Jangari | or can't you specify substrings with ls? | 05:06 |
| czr | Jangari, you might want to use 'find' instead. ls is not meant to search | 05:06 |
| scorphus | mazev: yeah, correct. this was installed by xen-tools, and I imagine it uses a server distro. But I need gui to test my software (phpeclipse) on ubuntu, as many users report problems with it | 05:06 |
| soldats | Jangari, not sure i use ls for basic stuff the right way to do it is with the locate command | 05:06 |
| kapace | hello i can't see my ubuntu box's hostname, but ip works ok.. | 05:06 |
| tritium | galacticone: NM lets you view the key you enter. There's a little radio button or check box for that. | 05:06 |
| Jangari | okay, ta | 05:06 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | I'm just not sure what device I should fill in. | 05:07 |
| galacticone | ok thanks | 05:07 |

| Jangari | hmm, i'm just getting the same "no file or directory" error | 05:08 |
| tritium | cvd: you evidently have it configured in /etc/network/interfaces, but don't have it listed as "auto" | 05:08 |
| czr | Jangari, what are you trying to do? | 05:08 |
| tritium | cvd: if you completely commented it out in /etc/network/interfaces, Network Manager should take care of it manually for you | 05:09 |
| Jangari | search an entire server, 4TB odd, for a coupld of .wav files that begin with SDM, czr | 05:09 |
| Jangari | viw ssh | 05:09 |

| czr | Jangari, have you external mounts on the server? (NFS, CIFS, etc?) | 05:09 |
| Jangari | no, tunneling in | 05:09 |
| czr | if not, find / -iname "sdm*wav" | 05:09 |
| czr | and add 2> /dev/null to the end of that | 05:10 |
| czr | since you're not interested in error messages | 05:10 |
| === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan | ||
| cvd | i dont know what you are talking about | 05:10 |
| czr | if you have a lot of file, it will take a long time JanC | 05:10 |
| czr | sorry, Jangari. | 05:10 |
| Jangari | meh, it's a powerful server, and it's only harvesting filenames, surely | 05:10 |
| czr | Jangari, that command will cause each directory contents to be loaded from the disk(s) | 05:11 |
| Jangari | "find /", can I begin it at a particular point? say "find /r0/d0/"? | 05:11 |
| czr | Jangari, and directory contents are scattered around the disk area(s), so the disk will need to seek a lot -> takes long time. | 05:11 |
| czr | Jangari, yes. | 05:11 |

| bullgard4 | Why does Ubuntu provide no DEB program package for JaLingo? (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jalingo) | 05:12 |

| Jangari | me, are you on a liveCD? | 05:15 |
| gupteshwar | I am not getting whats a problem? | 05:15 |
| cvd | so i paste one line at time | 05:15 |
| czr | Jangari, it interprets all parameters as the directory names where to start search from | 05:15 |
| UnWorthy | so who has a few minutes and wouldn't mind answering a couple of questions about a dual boot? | 05:15 |
| tritium | cvd: no, you won't | 05:15 |
| czr | Jangari, and without any predicates (search terms) it will display names of everything it finds from those directories | 05:15 |
| === benzs_s is now known as benzss | ||
| Flannel | !ask | UnWorthy | 05:15 |
| cvd | so its already done.. its say auto | 05:15 |
| ubotu | UnWorthy: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 05:15 |
| me | only my monitor enters sleep mode. My pc keep doing noises | 05:16 |
| UnWorthy | ty | 05:16 |
| Jangari | okay czr, so what i said earlier " find /r0/d0/ *SDM*.wav", will search for everything underneath /r0/d0, and then anything under "*SDM*.wav"? | 05:16 |
| tritium | cvd: why do you have it listed at all? Try commenting out all lines associated with eth0, and let Network Manager handle it for you. | 05:16 |
| me | i downloaded the cd from de ubuntu site | 05:16 |
| UnWorthy | !ask how to get ubuntu to run from ntldr or XP to run from grub | 05:16 |
| me | 7.10 for amd 64 | 05:16 |
| czr | Jangari, yes, assuming the shell can find any names that fill that pattern. if the shell cannot, it will pass the parameter directly to find, which will think it's a dir name where to search from. | 05:16 |
| cvd | i dont now its ubuntu i dont do anything | 05:16 |
| dreamnid | lol, unworthy | 05:16 |
| Flannel | UnWorthy: When you install Ubuntu (and GRUB with it) you'll have an entry for XP | 05:16 |
| UnWorthy | really? | 05:17 |
| UnWorthy | entry? | 05:17 |
| czr | Jangari, in unix, it is the command shell that expands *? and other characters, before the program that you're starting even sees them. | 05:17 |
| UnWorthy | whats this you speak of? | 05:17 |
| Jangari | i.e., i ask it to search for everything inside the directory /r0/d0, which comprises about 3TB of space, that was silly of me' | 05:17 |
| Flannel | UnWorthy: A selection at your GRUB menu. So you can boot to XP or Ubuntu | 05:17 |
| tritium | cvd: System -> Administration -> Network, and make sure the connection has roaming mode enabled | 05:17 |
| hotmonkeyluv | yay! i'm now registered! I feel complete, my life now has meaning!!! | 05:17 |
| czr | Jangari, if you want a list of everything, find /r0/d0 is your friend ;-) | 05:17 |
| UnWorthy | well see when I installed ubuntu it killed my mbr | 05:17 |
| cvd | its i check roaming the connection dont work | 05:17 |
| JohnRobert | where can I find a list of different ubuntus like kubuntu, xubuntu etc..? | 05:17 |
| Jangari | ha | 05:18 |
| dreamnid | UnWorthy, if you installed xp first, then Ubuntu next, there will automatically be an option to boot XP from grub | 05:18 |
| jetscreamer | Jangari: http://wooledge.org:8000/UsingFind | 05:18 |

| Jangari | thanks jetscreamer | 05:18 |
| Brinson | Someone asked about dual booting. You should check out Wubi. Wubi-Installer.org Like 2 or 3 clicks from inside windows and you have a dual boot scenario. | 05:18 |
| me | jangari, do you know how to solve this sleep monitor problem? | 05:18 |
| UnWorthy | 2 or 3 clicks | 05:18 |

| dreamnid | me: sorry, are you saying that you can't see anything when you try to boot off the live cd? | 05:19 |
| kapace | anyone got WINS working on ubuntu? | 05:19 |
| kapace | or how i can restart it | 05:19 |
| Jangari | oh, you have booted? | 05:19 |
| me | i did it | 05:19 |
| kapace | i have winbind | 05:19 |
| me | yeap | 05:19 |
| UnWorthy | I don't want to run "wubi" I want to run UU 1.6 | 05:19 |
| Jangari | so you're on ubuntu now? | 05:20 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | does anyone know why my RAM shows up as 1004MB and not 1024MB in the system monitor? | 05:20 |
| me | nope, on xp | 05:20 |
| UnWorthy | my problem was grub killed my hal.dll | 05:20 |
| UnWorthy | how do I stop it from doing that? | 05:20 |
| musikgoat | ubuntuuserinneed: video card could be using memory | 05:20 |
| me | getting information to boot again and install ubuntu | 05:20 |
| dreamnid | me: Okay, so it sounds like Ubuntu isn't detecting your monitor resolution correclty | 05:20 |
| Jangari | me, do you want to install ubuntu? | 05:20 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, probably you have an integrated video on your motherboard and BIOS has reserved some memory for that | 05:20 |
| Jangari | do you want to keep your xp stuff? | 05:20 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | musikgoat: I have a dedicated video card. | 05:20 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | err | 05:20 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | musikgoat/czr | 05:21 |
| me | dreamnid: how do I solve this oO? | 05:21 |
| UnWorthy | how do I not get grub to kill my hal.dll? | 05:21 |
| me | jangari: don't have to. Its a new pc, not much stuff here | 05:21 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, what does 'free' say about total Mem? (just the one number) | 05:21 |
| UnWorthy | anyone? | 05:21 |
| UnWorthy | how do I not get grub to kill my hal.dll? | 05:21 |

| UnWorthy | so how was my hal.dll missing after the install and fixmbr and fixboot didn't work? | 05:22 |
| oboy03 | hi | 05:22 |
| oboy03 | can anyone help me | 05:22 |
| me | dreamnid: if i lower the resolution, the installation will proceed? | 05:22 |
| Jangari | oh, i see, when you boot from liveCD the monitor keeps blacking out? i probably won't be able to help you | 05:22 |
| cvd | aparently its working, tritium | 05:22 |
| oboy03 | i've installed mirc on wine | 05:22 |
| cvd | :-) | 05:22 |
| tritium | cvd: good | 05:22 |
| dreamnid | me: ah... how do you plan to lower the resolution? | 05:22 |
| me | jangari: thanks for the good will anyway =] | 05:23 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | czr: under total? | 05:23 |
| oboy03 | I've deleted the mirc but it is still there on the programs tab | 05:23 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | 1028412 | 05:23 |
| me | dreamnid: i'll try that out | 05:23 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, yes. Mem - row, Total column. | 05:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | me: You can F6 and make some changes there | 05:23 |
| Jangari | me, how long before your screen 'sleeps'? | 05:23 |
| UnWorthy | so my hal.dll just vanished? and it had nothing to do with ubuntu? | 05:23 |
| dreamnid | me: I mean, when you boot it, does it let you choose the resolution? | 05:23 |
| dreamnid | me: unless you're talking about changing it in XP, which won't help | 05:23 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: it has nothing to do with grub, most certainly. | 05:23 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, that looks quite normal. some of the low memory cannot be reclaimed and some memory is reserved by the BIOS for various tables it builds on boot | 05:24 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | czr: thing is that I have 1024MB of RAM. 2x512 sticks | 05:24 |
| UnWorthy | what could cause it? | 05:24 |
| musikgoat | UnWorthy: could you have two locations that have a windows install? | 05:24 |
| UnWorthy | no just 1 | 05:24 |
| me | jangari:as soon as i press "enter" in "install ubuntu" ((first option)) | 05:24 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | and it shows up in windows... | 05:24 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | hmm? | 05:24 |
| UnWorthy | I installed ubuntu on my 2nd HD | 05:24 |
| UnWorthy | 2nd part on the 2nd HD | 05:24 |
| me | jangari: and if i press "install with updates" to | 05:24 |
| me | too* | 05:24 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | low memory? mem reserved by bios... | 05:24 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | odd | 05:24 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, if you want really accurate picture, use dmidecode | 05:25 |
| UnWorthy | lol heres a good question which should I install windows vista ultimate or ubuntu ultimate 1.6? hehe | 05:25 |
| oboy03 | i've uninstall mirc on wine, but the mirc tab on programs is still there how can i remove it | 05:25 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, it can show you how many sticks you have, and all kinds of low level info IF you really want to see it (run with sudo) | 05:25 |
| cvd | any site to download usplashs? | 05:25 |
| me | dreamnid: yes, on the boot i can set the resolution. gonna put 640x 480 or lower oO | 05:25 |
| dreamnid | me: ok, good luck :-) | 05:25 |
| Flannel | UnWorthy: You used ubuntu ultimate? That could be the reason. Who knows. Get an official version of ubuntu and try that. Of course, it won't bring back a missing file. | 05:25 |
| crdlb | UnWorthy: you do not want "ubuntu ultimate" | 05:25 |
| me | dreamnid: thx =D | 05:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oboy03: How did you remove it? Uninstall or just delete it. #Winehq has answers for most wine issues | 05:26 |
| UnWorthy | no this was was ubuntu fiesty fawn | 05:26 |
| UnWorthy | whats wrong with ultimate?? | 05:26 |
| me | jandari: any more clues, jandari? =] | 05:26 |
| crdlb | !ultimate | UnWorthy | 05:26 |
| ubotu | UnWorthy: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 05:26 |

| Flannel | UnWorthy: It's a hackjob on the real Ubuntu | 05:26 |
| crdlb | it's not actually an ubuntu project | 05:26 |
| oboy03 | i just deleted it | 05:26 |
| oboy03 | thanks | 05:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 05:26 |
| Jangari | sorry me, i ain't got nothin' | 05:27 |
| UnWorthy | so I wouldn't have a problem installing all the apps thats come with ultimate? | 05:27 |
| UnWorthy | on gusty or feisty? | 05:27 |
| me | jangari: that's ok =] wish me luck | 05:27 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, the memory that linux can use is limited by what the BIOS will tell it when the kernel starts. instead of lying like windows, most linux tools just report the size of the "really useable memory". | 05:27 |
| me | and thanks, jangari and dreamnid =] | 05:27 |
| czr | ubuntuuserinneed, so what you're seeing is quite normal. | 05:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | UnWorthy: Sure you would have trouble if they had to change repos to get them into their version | 05:27 |

| ubuntuuserinneed | I did | 05:28 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | showed me something like A0 and A1 | 05:28 |
| UnWorthy | thanks tritium | 05:28 |
| UnWorthy | lol | 05:29 |
| Mr__ | anybody here still? | 05:29 |
| dreamnid | UnWorthy: You'll learn to love the repos :-P | 05:29 |
| UnWorthy | thats from spiderman 2 | 05:29 |
| elninja | UnWorthy, if you had the Ubuntu installer resize a Windows partition without defragging it first, then it might have lost/corrupted hal.dll (or other files) | 05:29 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | Btw, I wana know if its possible to get my multimedia keys working in Amarok | 05:29 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: no, it's really not | 05:29 |

| === chiriri is now known as Elda | ||
| UnWorthy | should I just use grub? | 05:31 |
| UnWorthy | sry tritium | 05:31 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | whats ntldr? | 05:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Just use GRUB | 05:31 |
| czr | UnWorthy, there's a small GUI program for windows that did that. let me google | 05:31 |
| dreamnid | NTloader | 05:31 |
| UnWorthy | NTLoader | 05:31 |
| czr | if you really absolutely are too scared of replacing the windows MBR with the GRUB one | 05:31 |
| UnWorthy | k thanks czr | 05:31 |
| oboy03 | where can i find the wine folder? | 05:31 |
| Flannel | UnWorthy: GRUB is much easier. Especially with Ubuntu updates. And GRUB boots windows just as well as NTLDR | 05:31 |
| Cpudan80 | ubuntuuserinneed: Windows XP's silly little bootloader | 05:31 |
| UnWorthy | yeah it just that damn hal.dll problem... | 05:31 |
| ploom | UnWorthy, ntldr is boot loader with its own quirks | 05:31 |
| UnWorthy | happen my first time trying to dual with ubuntu... | 05:31 |
| czr | well, ntldr can be used to chainload grub | 05:32 |
| Flannel | UnWorthy: Thats independant of GRUB. Somehow you lost that file. | 05:32 |
| Elda | Quick question.... is there any program like the Network Manager applet in Gnome for KDE? Because for some reason, when using KDE even though it finds my network it wont allow me to connect to it | 05:32 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | Cpudan80: the insane one that didn't allow me to dual boot if I installed windows afterward you mean. | 05:32 |
| UnWorthy | well | 05:32 |
| Elda | But I want to switch from Gnome to KDE | 05:32 |
| UnWorthy | let me show you this... | 05:32 |
| Cpudan80 | ubuntuuserinneed: Something like that | 05:32 |
| ploom | UnWorthy, its propably easier to go with Grub | 05:32 |
| UnWorthy | http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/ | 05:32 |
| elninja | UnWorthy, I find it easiest to partition the drive with an Ubuntu liveCD, then install Windows on it's partition, afterwards install Ubuntu on it's partition(s). | 05:32 |
| UnWorthy | this is where I got my dual boot info from... | 05:32 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | hope it installs properly this time | 05:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dialup | 05:32 |
| 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 | 05:32 |
| ploom | UnWorthy, and you can always reset the mbr by fdisk later in case you need | 05:32 |
| Elda | heyll no | 05:33 |
| Elda | I would never used dial up, lol | 05:33 |
| UnWorthy | yeah I tried fixboot | 05:33 |
| Elda | WIreless network ftw | 05:33 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | DSL is dial up too :( | 05:33 |
| Elda | Cable | 05:33 |
| czr | UnWorthy, sry, can't recall it's name. been something like 5 years since I last mentioned it to someone.. autoboot, bootauto or smt or other like that :-) | 05:33 |
| Elda | Not dialup ;) | 05:33 |
| UnWorthy | and tried expanding the hal.dl_ into hal.dll from my xp pro disk...but got frustrated | 05:33 |
| UnWorthy | it's ok czr | 05:33 |
| UnWorthy | I'll look it up whats it do again? :P | 05:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Elda: The point is.. that you can disable knetwork manager.... and still have internet.. | 05:34 |
| UnWorthy | I just formated... | 05:34 |
| czr | UnWorthy, it's a small GUI program that will setup your boot.ini to support chainloading other boot managers | 05:34 |
| czr | UnWorthy, a windows program that is. | 05:34 |
| Elda | how would I bring my network list up then? | 05:34 |
| czr | you can also do it manually, but it's quite painful | 05:34 |
| Elda | I need to bring it up, select my network and enter the password | 05:34 |
| UnWorthy | kk, so should I install feisty fawn or gutsy? | 05:34 |
| WGGMk | Im having trouble starting DansGuardian on my Gutsy Gibbon Server (amd64) can anyone assist me in troubleshooting? | 05:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Elda: You can get better answers to kde questions in #Kubuntu | 05:35 |
| Elda | kk, thanks :) | 05:35 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | lets hope the installer doesn't screw up now | 05:35 |
| ploom | UnWorthy, its up to you whether you're interested in the latest and greatest or just look for the three years of support (the LTS thingy) | 05:35 |
| UnWorthy | and what are the order of ops for my install...I have XP on c:\ and I want to install ubuntu to the 2nd partition of my d: | 05:35 |
| ubuntuuserinneed | YAY NO FATAL ERROR | 05:35 |
| ploom | UnWorthy, usually sooner or later you upgrade anyway | 05:36 |
| UnWorthy | well I'm really interested in beryl and compiz | 05:36 |
| scoundrel | hi, guys | 05:36 |
| UnWorthy | can someone point me to a good faq for my situation... | 05:36 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: they've merged into one project: compiz-fusion | 05:36 |
| soneil | UnWorthy: the "missing hal.dll" message is really misleading. it usually means your partition layout has changed enough that boot.ini isn't pointing to the right place anymore. hal.dll is "missing" because boot.ini sent it looking on the wrong partition. | 05:36 |
| soneil | nothing's broken. just confused. | 05:36 |
| Flannel | UnWorthy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo | 05:37 |

| scoundrel | during this week three servers crashed | 05:37 |
| xGeek | hal.dll has nothing to do with your MBR | 05:37 |
| czr | scoundrel, what HW? | 05:37 |
| xGeek | it's getting past the MBR or you wouldn't be seeing that error | 05:37 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: please remember the !enter reminder | 05:38 |
| scoundrel | all of them with the same problem - processes started invoking OOM-killer and server was down. | 05:38 |
| UnWorthy | sry, why would ubuntu kill hal.dll? | 05:38 |
| scoundrel | czr: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420, 12-16GB RAM | 05:38 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: we already explained: It *didn't* kill hal.dll | 05:38 |
| xGeek | I don't think ubuntu had anything to do with it. | 05:38 |
| UnWorthy | well it was grub or ubuntu | 05:39 |
| xGeek | I have customers with the mysterious hal.dll problem all the time with one partition and no ubuntu. | 05:39 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: no, it was neither | 05:39 |

| cvd | linuxchick? | 05:40 |
| co_gokil | WE | 05:40 |
| czr | scoundrel, ok. have you tracked whether there's a single process/program that is responsible for the OOM or the memory leak is on the kernel side? | 05:40 |

| UnWorthy | well then I'll install ubuntu right now...but first I'm going to read that fixmbr on ms' site | 05:41 |
| UnWorthy | how so WGGMK? thats what seemed to happen to mine... | 05:41 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: in my case, it was adding/removing software/hardware to the Virtual Machine.. My hardware configuration might have changed to fubar the installation.. This would be a windows specific issue though. | 05:41 |
| czr | scoundrel, sry, have to run (to office), hope you find a solution to the problem though. you might ask official ubuntu support? | 05:41 |
| me | jangari? | 05:41 |
| scoundrel | czr: I have logs here but wan't able to log in to the server to check things out. Anyways, on a 12gb machine one process simply could not saturate all memory. | 05:41 |
| UnWorthy | what version of VMware do you use? | 05:41 |
| me | dreamnid? | 05:41 |
| UnWorthy | or do you use something other than vmware? | 05:42 |
| czr | scoundrel, agreed, especially since you have PAE (32-bit) | 05:42 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: VMWare Server (the newest I suppose) | 05:42 |
| czr | scoundrel, and processes are still limited to 4GiB each with PAE. | 05:42 |
| UnWorthy | is it better than infastruture? | 05:42 |
| czr | scoundrel, I was thinking more of a longer term historical data collection/graphing about different processes and how memory usage evolves (ala rrdtool) | 05:42 |
| Jangari | me? | 05:42 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: regardless of what "caused" the problem (that you will have to narrow down yourself) the fix is to use the Windows disc to either repair or restore | 05:42 |
| czr | UnWorthy, join #vmware | 05:42 |
| xGeek | Why do you think that hal.dll has something to do with the MBR? I'm not following that part. | 05:43 |
| UnWorthy | well I'ma retard | 05:43 |
| scoundrel | czr: this is what I'm doing now - setting up monitoring of memory, cpu, etc for all these boxes | 05:43 |
| UnWorthy | thats why it has something to do with it | 05:43 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: as far as the differences, I cant help you out, Ive only used Workstation & Server.. Like czr: said, you'll get more info out of #vmware | 05:43 |
| UnWorthy | kk thanks | 05:43 |

| Shuggle | I'm trying to find more information about a problem a friend had when he tried to install ubuntu. He chose the guided installation to resize his existing windows partition. The installer removed his windows vista partition and installed using all the space. When it was finished, his computer would not boot, as if the boot loader had not been installed. Why would it do that? | 05:44 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: the MBR would not effect hal.dll (Hardware Abstraction Layer) | 05:44 |
| UnWorthy | I know hal.dll doesn't have anything to do with the MBR but I was reading somewhere that a fixmbr would help... | 05:44 |
| czr | scoundrel, good luck, that's what I'd start doing as well (dmesg not showing anything interesting probably either). you might also take a look at slabinfo and the kernel memory usage stuff. it could be a kernel memory leak as well. | 05:44 |
| tritium | Shuggle: which is it? If he choise the resize, it wouldn't remove the existing partition. | 05:44 |
| czr | scoundrel, but I'll have to afk, so hope you find the culprit | 05:44 |
| UnWorthy | but now that I thinka bout it...maybe was fixin another problem... | 05:44 |

| WGGMk | UnWorthy: i dont see how it would... if your missing hal.dll your missing hal.dll.. fixing a Master Boot Record does nothing but effect a boot record. | 05:45 |
| fragged_ | UnWorthy, I dont know where I read it but I've heard that hal.dll is an issue with certain distros, from what I can recall try just copying the hal.dll from the windows CD back to C:/Windows/(system32? Idk) | 05:45 |

| soneil | WGGMk: it's just because his partiton map has changed, boot.ini is out of date. he just needs to start the recovery console, remove boot.ini, and bootcfg /rebuild. it's nothing to do with ubuntu. he just happens to have changed partitions in the process | 05:45 |
| xGeek | UnWorthy: Method 2 on that page almost always works. | 05:46 |
| Shuggle | tritium: He chose to resize since he specifically needed his windows installation. The installer then acted as if he chose to delete all data on the disk and then didnt install grub | 05:46 |
| === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 | ||
| WGGMk | soneil: as I said in one of my previous messages.. Linux (or any other OS) that is on a separate partition wouldnt effect each other | 05:46 |
| tritium | Shuggle: he must have made a mistake in his choice. The installer doesn't do that. | 05:47 |
| WGGMk | soneil: as far as the boot.ini being out of date. your prolly right about that | 05:47 |
| eahls | is there a way to install ubuntu without burning it to a cd ? The cd drive on my laptop is broken and I have windows. | 05:47 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: resizing and/or moving the parition will cause the boot.ini partition path to not be set correct causing the "missing hal.dll" error | 05:47 |
| WGGMk | eahls: you can install it to a USB stick and boot from USB or you can order FREE CD's from ubuntu.com | 05:48 |
| soneil | WGGMk: yeah, it's not one OS affecting the other. it's just windows freaking out because the disk layout has changed. it's world has disappeared from beneath it's feet. and it doesn't like that | 05:48 |
| xGeek | I need to invest in a usb extension or actually do something and connect the front ports on my computer. | 05:48 |
| eahls | ok thanks, im going to try getting to load off my usb drive | 05:49 |
| WGGMk | soneil: xGeek: if im not mistaken, a similar thing happens with other hardware components in Windows as well correct? | 05:49 |
| Orion1357 | Well, if you are all busy with another topic, I'll come back another time. But I'll ask one more time: Using Synaptic, I removed Evolution. Now when I log in, I get a blank screen. Can this be fixed without having to reinstall ubuntu all over again? | 05:49 |
| fragged_ | mmm guys I'm playing around with OpenGL via PyGame and on feisty I couldnt get the text to draw from this example http://www.disruption.ca/gutil/example3/example3b.html to work, after a clean install of the latest Ubuntu distro all works fine, does anybody know which package was not functioning correctly? I'd like to know as I have a gentoo system that also has the same problem and a complete update of the system might take days | 05:49 |
| fragged_ | :E | 05:49 |
| WGGMk | Orion1257: what else besides Evolution was removed? | 05:49 |
| Orion1357 | I just removed packages that referenced Evolution, so it was more than one package. But I don't remember which ones. | 05:50 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: I suppose. Not sure what you mean by hardware though. | 05:50 |
| === adante_ is now known as adante | ||
| WGGMk | xGeek: well I know if there's too many changes to the hardware config you have to re-activate windows sometimes | 05:51 |
| Shuggle | tritium: That's the first thing that I thought. With my experience, I had no problem configuring both of my system as dual boot. I was wondering if this might be some sort of bug that I would need to guard for when attempting another set up on his system. (he still wants ubuntu, if he can get it without losing all his data.. again) | 05:51 |
| Orion1357 | I just got this bad feeling that Gnome was using something I removed. | 05:51 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: That's WGA. A completely different monster. | 05:51 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: Windows is not a nice OS to work with. | 05:51 |
| WGGMk | Orion1357: thats not a very good way to uninstall an application (for future reference) | 05:51 |
| fragged_ | Shuggle, if in doubt back up the entire hard drive (if your anything like me or most of my geek friends, having ~250gb of free space is not rare) | 05:52 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: ahh.. havent used windows (other then a coaster) for some times | 05:52 |
| Orion1357 | Thanks. But I guess I'm still in learning mode here. | 05:52 |
| WGGMk | *time | 05:52 |
| neo | anyone here?? | 05:52 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: I make a lot of money fixing very simple stuff on windows machines. | 05:52 |
| Orion1357 | If the bad news is I must do a total reinstall, just say so. | 05:52 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: can also be a hassle too though. | 05:52 |
| loltto | on the http://www.ubuntu.com/ site when downloading whats the part about the alternate ""LIVE"" desktop CD all about | 05:52 |
| fragged_ | no neo all 1135 of the members are away | 05:52 |
| Shuggle | fragged_: fortunately, he has complete backups all the way through monday afternoon | 05:53 |
| neo | hehe,this is the first time i use IRC!:) | 05:53 |
| WGGMk | Orion1357: every starts somewhere.. the quick solution would be to hit CTRL+ALT+F1 (which will bring you to a command line) log in.. shutdown gnome ("sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop") and reinstall Evolution (need help with package name) | 05:53 |
| neo | Thanks fragged | 05:53 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: I deal with enough Windows at work.. 2003 server's crashing every other week.. | 05:53 |
| Orion1357 | Tried that. "sudo apt-get install evolution" | 05:53 |
| UnWorthy | yeah if you take your ram out and put it back in you can to reactivate windows... | 05:54 |
| Orion1357 | But I got an error | 05:54 |
| fragged_ | loltto, 'live' cds are cds that run entirely off the CD there does not need to be any data transferred to or from the hard drive... they are generally slow and jolty, like when the CD spins down and you run a program it can take a while for it to load | 05:54 |
| UnWorthy | have to* | 05:54 |
| WGGMk | Orion1357: which was? | 05:54 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: I know this is cliche, but I tell all my clients to reboot their 2k3 servers every friday. | 05:54 |
| Orion1357 | "could not resolve us.archive.ubuntu.com" | 05:54 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: lol.. do you have RDP5 login's at all? ever get that "resource or domain not available"?? | 05:54 |
| UnWorthy | you guys are the uber g33ks <3 you talk you do ubuntu tech support for fun <4 | 05:54 |
| fragged_ | WGGMk, I work somewhere with Windows 2k3 servers and they seem relatively stable unless you can blame them from power outages caused by crappy lines... | 05:55 |
| loltto | fragged_>can a live cd have the option of installing to hard drive or just runs of cdrom??? | 05:55 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: no but I get disconnected a lot. | 05:55 |
| soneil | fragged_: servers without UPSes is just silly | 05:55 |
| WGGMk | Orion1357: I assume your on a different machine? is the ubuntu machine connected? try pinging google? sudo apt-get update first then try again | 05:55 |
| fragged_ | loltto, some do, some tell you they do and dont, and some just dont, unsure about Ubuntu | 05:55 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: "protocol error" I still haven't figured that one out. | 05:55 |
| Orion1357 | No. On same machine. Have a XP/Ubuntu dual boot. | 05:56 |
| fragged_ | soneil, 20 servers, not enough UPS to last out an entire weekend (and THAT would be just silly) | 05:56 |
| UnWorthy | so can someone do me a huge favor....find the ms support that talks about fixing hal.dll errors....WGGMk.... | 05:56 |
| WGGMk | fragged_: this would be open to debate.. i work at a VERY large distribution center.. and those servers process a LOT of date.. which anyone can tell you Windows is particularly bad at data processing | 05:56 |
| Orion1357 | Maybe the server was down temporarily? | 05:56 |
| UnWorthy | since it's soooo easy | 05:56 |
| xGeek | UnWorthy: I sent you a link to the fix earlier. | 05:56 |
| soneil | fragged_: just expensive in that case | 05:56 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: as i can give you advice, im not going to do legwork for you. several people have given you solutions.. sorry if this sounds harsh | 05:57 |
| UnWorthy | sry could I have it again? | 05:57 |
| tritium | UnWorthy: this channel is for ubuntu support. PLease see ##windows for your request. | 05:57 |
| fragged_ | WGGMk, Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying that windows is the best software for all tasks, but usually crappy programs are the cause to an unstable server, both in windows and *nix | 05:57 |
| UnWorthy | thank tritium....sry | 05:57 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: im not really sure how Windows can get away with leaving error's vauge and general as they do | 05:57 |
| fragged_ | UnWorthy, or google, you know, if you KNOW how to google | 05:57 |
| === chiriri is now known as Elda | ||
| WGGMk | fragged_: im with you on that one.. and we do have some "crappy" software | 05:58 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: For one error microsoft.com normally has 3 - 6 'solutions' | 05:58 |
| WGGMk | fragged_: but software crashing and the entire OS locking up are different issues | 05:58 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: sometimes none of which work | 05:58 |
| fragged_ | WGGMk, the entire system locking up can be caused by drivers, or just bad hardware, I've seen windows systems run for months | 05:59 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: by any chance, have you taken any MS's courses.. inparticular the MSCA course? i nearled laughed when they were teaching it | 05:59 |
| Shuggle | is there a good program to make those restore cds that come with new computers, but for linux? | 05:59 |
| === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan | ||
| xGeek | WGGMk: I took A+ and I'm working on my bachelors. I think I'm going to skip MS and go for my CCNA. | 05:59 |

| UnWorthy | http://support.etechnologyit.net/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=25 | 05:59 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: i dont get how MS says this is the way it WILL work.. when you can have millions of different combinations of hardware that can radically change the environment so it DOESNT work MS's way | 06:00 |
| UnWorthy | who thinks this hal.dll fix is correct? | 06:00 |
| UnWorthy | on that link | 06:00 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: i would recommend CCNA over any MS course.. if you happen to get Security+ and Network+ cert's.. they will be highly respected over any MS cert | 06:00 |

| WGGMk | fragged_: i have a home server running Linux amd64 that needed to be restarted because my ISP dropped out.. figure that one out | 06:02 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: I'm currently the IT manager for a small firm that runs nothing but apple. It has definitely been a much nicer experience than some of my 2k3 server clients. | 06:02 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: ok, that concludes our conversation.. i have a bane for Apple's | 06:02 |
| UnWorthy | •xGeek• how much experience did you put on your resume? | 06:02 |
| UnWorthy | just the A+? | 06:02 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: haha.. I don't like apples. I deal with them because they make me money. | 06:02 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: They are over priced. However, being based on BSD and from experience I think they run much cleaner than any MS OS. | 06:03 |
| ta1 | How do I go about recompiling a kernel with an additional module(ieee1394)? Is there somewhere that has a good tutorial? | 06:03 |
| WGGMk | xGeek: i deal with them because Apple says we have to deal with them.. they are nice.. run smooth.. i cry at compatibily with others.. and lets face it.. Apple's a bit behind the times as far as software updates (bleeding edge rather) | 06:03 |
| xGeek | WGGMk: very much so. | 06:04 |

| fragged_ | WGGMk, I dont understand why your telling me to figure it out? I'd assume it'd be an issue with the network, be that software or hardware, being so vague doesnt help, and the fact that I'm relatively new to linux (one year) doesnt make me a know all. What I do know is that I'm sick of these blatant fanboy attacks on other operating systems, sure most people here probbably prefer a linux environment, and mac users enjoy theres, bu | 06:05 |
| fragged_ | t windows (bar vista) is actually pretty good at most basic tasks, and is also easier for small businesses where nobody has a clue about linux (if even heard of it before). | 06:05 |

| WGGMk | fragged_: will all respect, im not a fanboy. I HAVE to deal with several different OS's on daily bases.. and FROM MY EXPERIENCES with them, being workstation or server or thin client. Ive had more trouble with Windows then any other OS out there | 06:07 |
| xGeek | fragged_: I don't consider myself a fanboy at all. However the flaw in your argument is this: small business need to do very simple tasks such as send email and use office applications. Linux or X whether it be KDE or Gnome has the ability to put icons on the desktop the same as windows. I don't see the difference. | 06:07 |
| thirso | naitse: nvidia-settings | 06:07 |
| fragged_ | Darkmystere, I'm sure VMWare's webpage has support, or just being more descriptive might help ;) | 06:07 |
| UnWorthy | anyone read that funny article about that linux guy going into a best buy and putting the liveCD of ultimate on one of the displays and all the geeksquad guys gather around in awe... | 06:07 |
| ploom | WGGMk, MS won't be in trouble too much - the last thing theyll do would be reinventing some special form of open source'ry too | 06:07 |
| ploom | WGGMk, actually they already have the license texts available - google for Microsoft Open Source ;-) | 06:08 |

| WGGMk | ploom: i was referring to Apple going Open Source | 06:08 |
| fragged_ | xGeek, the difference in many areas is still the lack of support, where I'm working now we have discussed running linux, but as I am only a temp, and the only one with a clue (and not an extensive one) about the OS and how stuff works both in house and likely in-town, it'd be hard to get any support once I'm gone, | 06:08 |
| UnWorthy | someone goto that link and tell me if thats the way to fix the hal.dll? | 06:08 |
| ploom | WGGMk, and I was refferring to MS being in trouble (not) | 06:09 |
| UnWorthy | read it! | 06:09 |
| UnWorthy | In RARE cases this may not solve the problem. When this happens you have 3 choices.< | 06:09 |
| UnWorthy | 1. Copy the hal.dll file from another system to C:\windows\system32 | 06:09 |
| UnWorthy | 2. Perform a repair installation of Windows XP | 06:09 |

| UnWorthy | option number 3 was the only options...after installing ubuntu! | 06:10 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: why dont you try the solution that is presented yourself to see if it works???? | 06:10 |
| UnWorthy | I did | 06:11 |
| ploom | fragged_, last time for you to train an apprentice | 06:11 |
| UnWorthy | it didn't work...expanding the hal.dl_ to c:\windows\system32\hal.dll DID NOT WORK | 06:11 |
| UnWorthy | one of the "rare cases" | 06:11 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: then put the Windows CD and repair the OS.. its an option | 06:11 |
| UnWorthy | so what then? if it's a "rare case" | 06:11 |
| naitse | Hi, need little help | 06:11 |
| UnWorthy | I did not recieve that option | 06:12 |
| fragged_ | WGGMk, dont get me wrong, I would avoid using a windows network long term as a preference but as far as the original argument went, you think M$ is crap because of instabilities? the server editions in particular are relatively good at core stability but it also comes down to drivers which are to do with the venedor anyway | 06:12 |
| UnWorthy | I got reinstall | 06:12 |
| Greevous | anyone know what app is used to play system sounds? As in running a command to play a specific sound | 06:12 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: have you heard of the term PEBKAC? | 06:12 |
| UnWorthy | no I have not | 06:12 |
| UnWorthy | please enlighten me | 06:12 |
| naitse | my desktop is more big than the monitor screen... and i must use the mouse to see the edges :S | 06:12 |
| UnWorthy | more big? | 06:12 |
| UnWorthy | or bigger? | 06:12 |
| fragged_ | naitse, nvidia-settings, or set the resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:13 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: I would suggest you re-read (carefully) the solution. then research on how you can "repair" your operating system | 06:13 |
| UnWorthy | yeah...yeah it's bigger | 06:13 |
| ploom | UnWorthy, well - you still have your partitions? Can you see the other files in your windows partition?? | 06:13 |
| naitse | i installed the nvidia video driver | 06:13 |
| naitse | yhea bigger | 06:13 |
| Darkmystere | Ok,now im getting somewhere its saying wasnt configured correctly but when i run the command it says file not found | 06:13 |
| UnWorthy | yeah | 06:13 |
| ploom | Greevous, there are many options, one of them is aplay | 06:13 |
| UnWorthy | but see something odd happens...in the recovery console I can't axx my 2nd HD | 06:13 |
| UnWorthy | my "storage" hard drive... | 06:13 |
| Greevous | ploom: is aplay installed by default? | 06:14 |
| UnWorthy | otherwise I would make a copy of hal.dll and put it on the other drive | 06:14 |
| WGGMk | fragged_: well yes and no. My personal opinion is MS is crap. I dont like them. my profession experience is that my companies Windows 2k3 servers are crap | 06:14 |

| musikgoat | there isn't a default vnc server in xubuntu? any recommendations ? | 06:18 |
| Juzzy` | I've just used gparted on a live cd to extend my / partition from 10gb to 20gb | 06:18 |
| Juzzy` | But once i reboot it still only shows 10gb | 06:18 |
| UnWorthy | thats weird...one of the possible fixes for a hal.dll error is to....bootcfg/rebuild and a fixboot? | 06:18 |
| WGGMk | fragged_: in comparison to servers.. I believe Linux will always be a more powerful OS. but your right.. Linux does have a long way to go before coming into the Desktop area. but you must admit that the dev's with Ubuntu (lets not forget Debian) are definatly stepping up the game | 06:18 |
| fragged_ | musikgoat, VNC is VNC, I mean afaik its a standard protocol, any crap server will be nuked and so your left with a few good ones | 06:18 |
| Juzzy` | gparted shows 20 though | 06:18 |
| ploom | fragged_, I hope you have part-time job next to school then :-) 26 here... | 06:18 |
| UnWorthy | but but but...what does hal.dll have to do with a fixboot?? | 06:19 |
| fragged_ | ploom, In australia, doing a TAFE certificate, school + work part time, and hopefully uni next year =) | 06:19 |
| Juzzy` | When resizing a root partition do you need to tell it to use the new free space? | 06:19 |
| fragged_ | UnWorthy, hal.dll is to do with windows #windows may help more | 06:19 |
| ploom | fragged_, cool - I have a friend at Australia too - almost for a year now. Studying and working. | 06:19 |
| Juzzy` | <- Adelaide, Australia | 06:20 |

| fragged_ | Juzzy`, I do believe I've seen your alias before, valhalla yes? | 06:20 |

| UnWorthy | to #windows right? | 06:20 |
| WGGMk | so, Im having an issue with DansGuardian hanging on start (sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start) and im missing the *.pid file in /var/run. anyone have a clue? | 06:21 |
| ePax | UnWorthy: Whats the problem? Do you have dualboot and cant boot MS? | 06:21 |
| UnWorthy | no I did | 06:21 |
| UnWorthy | and I want to reinstall ubuntu | 06:21 |
| fragged_ | musikgoat, XUbuntu is very similar to Ubuntu, like its still using apt synaptics etc so if he is learning just install whatever your using to show him, let him make his own software choices once he's more confortable with his new os :) | 06:22 |
| UnWorthy | but when I installed it for a dual boot I had to format and reinstall windows...and ubuntu... | 06:22 |
| ePax | UnWorthy: Ok. Install win first then ubuntu. | 06:22 |
| WGGMk | UnWorthy: no one is telling you to "f off" nor is anyone NOT giving you solutions. YOU are failing to take the advice thats being given to you. Your missing hal.dll. a mate in here told you its a problem with boot.ini (being outdated) and you would need to repair it so it know's where hal.dll is | 06:22 |
| musikgoat | fragged_: good point | 06:22 |
| ePax | UnWorthy: If you have problems with boot you can fix them without reinstalling any of your systems. | 06:23 |
| UnWorthy | I'm on XP | 06:23 |
| Juzzy` | fragged_, why won't linux recognise that i've resized my partition from 10gb to 20gb | 06:23 |
| UnWorthy | with a bootcfg/rebuild and a fixboot? | 06:24 |
| WGGMk | Juzzy`: what do you mean resized? | 06:24 |
| UnWorthy | or a fixmbr? | 06:24 |
| Juzzy` | resized the partition useing gparted | 06:24 |
| fragged_ | Not entirely sure, I stay away from partitioning D:, hell I lost my vista cd with my laptop (and later found it scratched up and tossed it aside anyway :P) | 06:24 |
| ePax | Juzzy`: Its meybe resized but not mounted. Gparted can fix that. | 06:24 |
| WGGMk | Juzzy`: is it partitioned with a file system? | 06:24 |
| Juzzy` | ePax, it has to be mounted, i'm using it | 06:24 |
| Juzzy` | yeah | 06:24 |
| Juzzy` | I just resized the extfs to 20gb | 06:25 |
| WGGMk | Juzzy`: have you tried restarting? | 06:25 |
| Juzzy` | yup | 06:25 |
| Juzzy` | i'll try again but dunno if that'll fix anything | 06:25 |
| Juzzy` | gparted shows 20gb | 06:25 |
| Juzzy` | but it still shows the same amount of free space as before resizing | 06:25 |
| WGGMk | Juzzy`: all on the same partition? | 06:25 |
| UnWorthy | •ePax• how would I fix a hal.dll problem...I tried expanding the hal.dl_ from the recovery console...and I tried a fixboot | 06:25 |
| Juzzy` | WGGMk, its all on the same drive | 06:25 |

| jedimasterk | Is it worth upgrading from 7.05 to 7.10, or wait for 8.05 | 07:14 |
| WGGMk | 1 could only pray speeddemon8803 | 07:14 |
| UnWorthy | installed it to the secondary hard drive and not the primary with xp on it? | 07:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | its worth it jedimasterk | 07:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | well worth it | 07:14 |
| UnWorthy | it's 7.04 | 07:14 |
| soneil | jedimasterk: personally, I'd go from 7.04 to 7.10, if only because upgrading one version to the next is usually cleaner than skipping a version | 07:14 |
| bazhang | jedimasterk: 7.04 to 7.10 may be worth it for you; if you want long term support then 8.04 will have it | 07:14 |
| WGGMk | derek_: are you still here?? | 07:15 |

| bazhang | UnWorthy: if you have issues then that is likely on you; there are plenty of tutorials on how install a dual boot and numerous folks do it successfully | 07:17 |
| robierto | UnWorthy: never had any issues like that so i can't help you | 07:17 |
| UnWorthy | you guys with dual boots do you use grub for the loader? | 07:17 |
| tumbleweed05 | omg. ubuntu with gnome and compiz rocks | 07:17 |
| Brinson | Anyone here use Wine-Doors? | 07:17 |
| robierto | UnWorthy: first time i heard something like that and yes grub | 07:17 |
| tumbleweed05 | just replaced it with a hacked copy of XP. and i'm glad i did. | 07:18 |
| UnWorthy | doesn't ubuntu come with gnome? | 07:18 |

| foibles | is something wrong with the repo firefox flash plugin? | 07:20 |
| bazhang | foibles have you read the topic? | 07:20 |
| soldats | !flashissues | foibles | 07:20 |
| ubotu | foibles: 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. | 07:20 |

| WGGMk | sapperjanko: who do you want to be able to write to the directory? hint: its easier to lump everyone in a group instead of to specify individual user's | 07:21 |

| Sevensins | so far so good | 07:24 |
| UnWorthy | do you think it could be I'm not installing it to the primary hard drive...I doubt that could be it...but maybe | 07:25 |
| UnWorthy | man I need a white russian... | 07:25 |
| Sevensins | but how do i use the names retrieved now to make it a list of "to install" apps ? | 07:25 |

| adub | how do you use grep to find a certain string of text in a given file | 07:25 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: could be an issue; though your explanation is not totally clear--you had an xp install first then installed ubuntu? | 07:25 |
| odysseas | adub cat /path/to/given/file |grep certain string | 07:25 |

| bazhang | sapperjanko: webmin is not supported by ubuntu have you considered ebox? | 07:26 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: that should be the only things you need to specify to write to the directory | 07:26 |
| haofeng94 | When will it be launch | 07:26 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: what were the other things 'testparm' yelled about? | 07:26 |

| svall | Hello how can i automatically mount a hard drive at start up | 07:26 |
| Sevensins | svall youve got to aadd it to fstab where all filesystems are listed | 07:27 |
| adub | odysseas the file im trying to grep it just goes to the next line | 07:27 |
| sapperjanko | "server sting" "null password" | 07:27 |
| pawan | hi | 07:27 |
| Sevensins | read a wiki about that cos thats a huge topic | 07:27 |
| svall | ok cheers | 07:27 |
| Sevensins | in short just add mountpount ..type and uid to fstab | 07:27 |
| adub | i can just cat filename and the text shows but i want to search the file for only the word priority | 07:27 |
| WGGMk | svall: 2 ways, you can edit 'fstab' or edit 'rc.local' with a script IE: sudo mount /path/of/drive /mount/path" | 07:28 |
| UnWorthy | yeah xp first then ubuntu | 07:28 |
| Brinson | Does this IRC have a particular purpose or just general? I only found it because its the default of the IRC client. | 07:28 |
| tparcina | DHCP IP address, but static DNS server - how to acheeve this? | 07:28 |
| odysseas | adub cat filename |grep priority | 07:28 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: then why would you create another partition with feisty cd? | 07:28 |
| bod_ | is there an admin about? | 07:28 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: DNS will always be static | 07:28 |
| UnWorthy | what do y0u mean? | 07:28 |
| bazhang | bod_: just us grunts ;] | 07:28 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: DNS is the one that DHCP server has assing it | 07:29 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: or are you trying to create a DNS server and you have an IP dynamically? | 07:29 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: I would like to define my own | 07:29 |
| UnWorthy | I created a ext3 partition for linux, a swap partition and a fat32 osshare partition | 07:29 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: ill check it out, put what u have in there n go from there | 07:29 |
| bod_ | bazhang, i got banned from !ot, but they said it was only 24hrs,, that was a week ago, im still banned | 07:29 |
| UnWorthy | oh... | 07:29 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: the installer will resize your windows install automatically | 07:29 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: lemme know then | 07:29 |
| UnWorthy | why would I want it to do that? | 07:29 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: that it correct. I'm getting IP from DHCP server, but I would like to use DNS which I define | 07:30 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: lets step back for a second. what are you trying to achieve? | 07:30 |
| Brinson | You get to pick its new size. | 07:30 |
| UnWorthy | to automate the process as much as possible? | 07:30 |
| soldats | bod_, state your clame in #ubuntu-ops if noones there just wait | 07:30 |
| bazhang | bod_: you might go to #ubuntu-ops | 07:30 |
| adub | odysseas that as well goes to the next line | 07:30 |
| bod_ | well,.,. i would post this in !ot, but it is ubuntu related,.,. can you check this out and let me no what you think | 07:30 |

| * UnWorthy knows why the dude drinks white russians.... | 07:30 | |
| odysseas | adub I dont understand what you're trying to do | 07:30 |
| bod_ | bazhang, soldats, cheers,.will do | 07:30 |
| tumbleweed05 | hey how do i do a screenshot? | 07:30 |
| UnWorthy | •bazhang• why would I let it do that to the windows partition? to automate the process as much as possible? | 07:30 |
| sisseck | Hi, anyone know of a opensource alternative to mathcad? | 07:30 |
| soldats | with the screenshot button | 07:30 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: I hate to say it but it seems that you have botched the install yourself--the automatic installer obviates the need and or risk of that--also, why not use gutsy gibbon 7.10? | 07:31 |
| adub | try to print on my screen only one word and all instances of that word in console on my screen using cat and grep | 07:31 |
| tumbleweed05 | soldats: a little more help lol. | 07:31 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: I would like to get IP address from DHCP server and I would like to use another DNS server, not the one that DHCP server is telling me to use | 07:31 |
| adub | the command completes goes to next line without output | 07:31 |
| UnWorthy | no reason | 07:31 |
| Brinson | the bg would look cooler in a non-small-laptop resolution | 07:31 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: for what purpose though? | 07:31 |
| UnWorthy | just was out when I d/l ubuntu | 07:31 |
| UnWorthy | when I d/l it, it was the newest version | 07:31 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: im having trouble understanding WHY you would need to do this | 07:31 |
| odysseas | adub then the word priority isnt in the file | 07:31 |
| soldats | tumbleweed05, somewhere in the menu there is an option. i dont use gnome so i dont rememmber eexactly where | 07:31 |
| soldats | er button | 07:32 |
| tparcina | I have tried to change /etc/resolv.conf but then when I restart it changes - it receives DNS information from DHCP | 07:32 |
| shaark | tumbleweed05: Applications->Accesories->Take Screenshot | 07:32 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: I'm using VirtualBox, and his DNS server doens't work so I have to define the "real" one | 07:32 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: this is weird, put what u had in pastebin n still the same probs | 07:32 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: you have a working xp install now? if so, then get the latest 7.10 and let it resize the install automatically--though you can tweak it a bit--much safer that way | 07:32 |
| adub | odysseas is it case sensitive on grep cat | 07:33 |
| odysseas | adub yeah | 07:33 |
| sapperjanko | i still did a testparm n that creat mack still popped up at me | 07:33 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: stupid has it sounds, but you edit the #'s accordingly right? | 07:33 |
| Brinson | He's trying Ubuntu Ultimate, right...is that a live or alternate install? | 07:33 |
| adub | yeah i just found that out | 07:33 |
| Brinson | alternative is a little harder with dual boot because of the lack of the nice UI | 07:33 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: what do you mean it doesnt work? DNS is like a phonebook of servers, nothing more | 07:33 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: it really is as easy as that--dl, burn iso to disk, restart from disk and it will see you windows install and take over from there. | 07:34 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: do you know what is VirtualBox? | 07:34 |
| adub | nice thanks odysseas thanks for the heads up on the command line | 07:34 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: i havent used it.. but its a virtual machine software if im not mistaken | 07:34 |
| === chiriri is now known as Elda | ||
| sapperjanko | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54183/ | 07:34 |
| bazhang | tparcina: there is also vmware-server if you are interested | 07:34 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: yes, that's correct. problem is that VirutalBox DNS server doesn't work. He doesn't respond to DNS requests. | 07:34 |
| UnWorthy | I want to try ultimate | 07:35 |
| UnWorthy | but ppl said it's not so good... | 07:35 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: it's well documented. So I have to define some public DNS server | 07:35 |
| UnWorthy | is it because it's unsupported? | 07:35 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: thats all i got in there now under MyFiles | 07:35 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: are you trying to connect externally to the virtual box DNS? | 07:35 |
| tparcina | bazhang: vmware isn't open source | 07:35 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: then download it; though it is just as easy to install that stuff individually once you have ubuntu in place | 07:35 |
| bazhang | tparcina: it is in the repos though | 07:35 |
| UnWorthy | download what? | 07:36 |
| Brinson | Does anyone here use Ares in wine? | 07:36 |
| UnWorthy | ultimate? | 07:36 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: you need to provide more information... where is the DNS.. where are you in relation to the DNS.. how are you trying to access it?? | 07:36 |
| bazhang | tparcina: and for what its worth I have had bad luck with vbox; vmware-server just works here ;] | 07:36 |
| tparcina | WGGMk: I just need to define DNS server on my machine | 07:36 |
| nemilar | What's the command to re-configure a package? | 07:36 |
| nemilar | the dpkg command | 07:36 |

| vontux | hi, how would you use command line 7zip to join files you split with it? | 07:37 |
| Brinson | dpkg-reconfigure | 07:37 |
| nemilar | ty | 07:37 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: edit /etc/resolv.conf | 07:37 |
| UnWorthy | •bazhang• download what? ultimate? I have it already...or are you talking about the software that comes with ultimate? | 07:37 |
| tparcina | bazhang: don't know that, but I'm preatty sure it's not open source. Please corect me if I'm wrong | 07:37 |
| UnWorthy | no it's not | 07:37 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: you can download the ubuntu cd, the ultimate dvd or whatever flavor you like--though there is no real advantage to the latter afaik | 07:37 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: hate to do this mate, but i think you need to head to #samba | 07:37 |
| UnWorthy | afiak? | 07:37 |
| bazhang | tparcina: but it is free ;] | 07:38 |
| bazhang | as far as I know UnWorthy | 07:38 |

| WGGMk | sapperjanko: i cant seem to figure out why you cant write to it.. it could be that /var/www needs sudo to write to it | 07:39 |
| UnWorthy | which version of VMWare is good for home use? | 07:39 |
| bazhang | tparcina: but the debil must have his due ;] | 07:39 |

| Neeku | hi | 07:41 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: the machine that NEEDS the DNS info, is it a virtual machine? | 07:41 |
| slash_ | no | 07:41 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: not sure what you mean by infrastructure--you are going to use this as a home server? | 07:41 |
| UnWorthy | so guys whats the one stop shop for open source goodies for ubuntu? | 07:41 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: i just got testparm coming up with NO, i repeat NO ERRORS | 07:41 |

| tparcina | WGGMk: yes, that's virtual machine | 07:42 |
| soneil | vmware infrastructure is a $2000+ edition of vmware. I don't think it's really aimed at the home market somehow .. | 07:42 |
| bazhang | UnWorthy: the software repositories, where almost all of the software we use is kept | 07:42 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: how is your internet configured? Bridged or NAT? | 07:42 |
| Neeku | I'm laying music with "audacious" and I've got last.fm; but it doesn't scrobble the songs I play; what should I do? | 07:42 |

| WGGMk | tparcina: no its not a "1 time only" | 07:44 |
| WGGMk | tparcina: bring the device down.. and assign a static IP for it.. then bring the device up | 07:44 |
| Slart | mythtv: I don't know if there is anything in the repos.. but you can get realplayer from their site.. it's not as bad as the windows-version | 07:44 |

| Slart | !alien | pawan_ | 07:45 |
| ubotu | pawan_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:45 |

| _ruben | power788: whats 'not properly' in this case? | 07:49 |
| Aloha | bazhang, he says that doesn't work | 07:49 |
| power788 | _ruben: like it breaks each filename up by the spaces | 07:50 |
| bazhang | Aloha: that is odd... | 07:50 |
| _ruben | power788: ow wait .. didnt read properly .. why not use for i in * ; do ..... | 07:50 |
| soneil | power788: are there spaces in any of the filenames? "for I in *" will probably get you further | 07:50 |
| tumbleweed05 | is there a decent media player out there for ubuntu? | 07:50 |

| mythtv | is there a command like yum provides ? | 08:07 |
| UnWorthy | I said "no es bueno?" | 08:07 |
| soneil | pablocpg: uninstalling & re-instaling won't remove your user profile. you might want to look for that (I think it's in ~/.firefox/ or ~/.mozilla/) and try moving that out the way | 08:07 |
| pablocpg | bod_, i did that but is the same problem | 08:07 |
| bod_ | UnWorthy, just try and keep the lol,kk,GG, to a minimum | 08:07 |
| WGGMk | mythtv: google libstdc++.so.5 pacakages.. and look for and ubuntu page.. alternativly you can use getlib.. its on the forums somewhere.. sorry i dont have the link | 08:07 |
| bazhang | bluefoxx: the minimal install might do for you; see !minimal | 08:07 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: thats just my Artifical Inteligence programming hahaha | 08:08 |
| pablocpg | soneil, i should remove that? | 08:08 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: equiped with typo's and misinformation on occasion | 08:08 |
| UnWorthy | I find the joining and leaving every 2 secs more annoying than a "lol kk"....but thats just me.... | 08:08 |
| pawan | hi | 08:08 |
| soneil | pablocpg: I'd move it somewhere else. if it doesn't fix the problem, you can just move it back again. nothing lost | 08:08 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: AHHH smart bot, LOL thats y u couldnt help me all the way, bc u was at the end of ya program for samba :P | 08:08 |

| UnWorthy | right | 08:09 |
| WGGMk | sapperjanko: which isnt really up-to-date atm | 08:09 |
| bluefoxx | bazhang, im not currently trying to install, as all the laptop hardisks i own at the moment are dead[clicked out] and i just want to boot it to see if my repairs worked, the cmos batt inside was snapped off and i had to re-solder it back on, it boots but wont boot cd | 08:09 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: bit like them IBM and Apple ads u see on TV huh | 08:09 |

| WGGMk | UnWorthy: out of the 10-15 screen names that appear on my chat box.. you are there roughly 5 times..w hich would mean you are chatting 50% of the time i receive messages.. which is more annoying then hearing people leave and enter | 08:11 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: sorry i just had 2 rub that in there for ya | 08:11 |
| pablocpg | bod_, so what should i do to fix it? | 08:11 |

| soneil | bluefoxx: I'm pretty sure it's /dev/fd* ... my favourite is to put a floppy in, then file -s /dev/thatdevice and see if the floppy starts making fun noises. it's harmless if it's wrong. | 08:26 |
| bluefoxx | soneil, ok, that sounds good | 08:26 |

| Paolinho | Neeku, is the dvdrom-drive mounted ? | 08:38 |
| cjones__ | wggmk sudo passwd root turns it on | 08:38 |

| Neeku | Paolinho: yes | 08:38 |
| Paolinho | Neeku, try sudo umount /media/cdrom | 08:38 |
| Paolinho | (or any other path, that leeds to your cdrom-drive) | 08:39 |
| WGGMk | cjones__: i know.. but you should NOT use it.. its not good security practices | 08:39 |

| cjones__ | ive also heard that sudo is not good sec pratice | 08:39 |
| Neeku | Paolinho: how can I find what the path is? | 08:40 |
| WGGMk | cjones__: these are just words of the wise.. root is locked for a reason... you can achieve the same via "sudo" | 08:40 |
| Neeku | (instead of cdrom) | 08:40 |
| cjones__ | i can always reinstall | 08:40 |
| cjones__ | this is just a learning box | 08:40 |

| rcuhljr | WGGMk: Can't say that I know what that is | 08:44 |
| Paolinho | Neeku, very strange, the only idea I got now, is to reboot your system and get it out before booting... | 08:45 |
| WGGMk | iambernie: you can make a share pointing to the mount path of the drive your sharing... edit the smb.conf file.. | 08:45 |
| cvd | the roms has a small hole, out something in it | 08:45 |
| Neeku | oh no! | 08:45 |
| Miesco | Whats better Debian or Ubuntu | 08:45 |
| Paolinho | Neeku, I saw my system hang some time ago with an unreadable cdrom | 08:45 |
| soneil | Neeku: hdparm -L 0 /path/device should manually drop the lock flag. it shouldn't be needed tho | 08:45 |
| Neeku | Paolinho: can't I find the application from the system monitor? | 08:45 |
| cvd | ubuntu | 08:45 |
| iambernie | WGGMk: Ok, thanks. | 08:45 |
| bazhang | Neeku: what about opening a cd burning app and then choosing eject from that? | 08:45 |
| WGGMk | rcuhljr: click System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager | 08:45 |
| Ububegin | whats the diff between apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu2.2_i386.deb & apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu4.1_i386.deb .. the diff is ubuntu2.2 vs ubuntu4.1 ... | 08:45 |
| rcuhljr | yeah just found it nosing around | 08:45 |
| bahman | I have a problem with my Firefox in Ubuntu gutsy... when the ubuntu updated, firefox couldn't work with all my AddOns | 08:45 |
| Miesco | Whats you Ununtu user's opinion on Debian? | 08:46 |
| WGGMk | rcuhljr: does it say that wireless firmware is enabled? | 08:46 |
| bazhang | bahman: what version of firefox | 08:46 |
| rcuhljr | the only thing it found so far is my video card. | 08:46 |
| WGGMk | Miesco: without Debian there is no Ubuntu | 08:46 |
| bazhang | Miesco: you ask this in #ubuntu? | 08:46 |
| cvd | ubunut try to make it more easy? i dont know | 08:47 |
| === Switch^_ is now known as Switch^ | ||
| bahman | dear bazhang I thinks its now 2.11 | 08:47 |
| Miesco | Word around is people in #Debian think they are better | 08:47 |
| soneil | Miesco: that's really difficult to get an unbiased answer to. especially in here :) but personally, I love debian for their thoroughness, and ubuntu for their fixed & predictable release schedule. but I'm not a desktop user, and you know what they say about everyone having as*cough*opinions .. | 08:47 |
| bazhang | bahman: what version of ubuntu and what addons | 08:47 |
| wyrmul | I am trying to set the group of a folder? I cannot determine the command. | 08:48 |
| WGGMk | Miesco: Debian vs Ubuntu is kinda pointless | 08:48 |
| mohshami | hey guys, how can I enable the progress bar in the command line ftp client? | 08:48 |
| Paolinho | wyrmul, chgrp | 08:48 |
| Ububegin | It cant be diff version of ubuntu rite... since they both released in 2007.. is it the diff kernel versions | 08:48 |
| Miesco | soneil: Okay thanks, I have used Debian since forever and Ubuntu seems to be more up to date (more releases), I dont know, i'll probably just buy a laptop with Ubuntu already on it and keep this desktop Debian | 08:49 |
| WGGMk | Miesco: my suggestion is to try both | 08:49 |
| Ububegin | Miesco: Do Ubuntu vs Vista instead... :D | 08:49 |
| netgear | when installing ubuntu restricted-extras i get an error code (1) from sub process /usr/bin/dpkg how do i fix this? | 08:49 |
| wyrmul | Paolinho: k thanks | 08:49 |
| Miesco | Ububegin: You think vista or ubuntu is better? | 08:49 |
| bahman | bazhang Gutsy, and all my AddOns could work up tp ver 3.0 FF | 08:50 |
| Ububegin | Miesco: what do you think ... :D | 08:50 |
| soren | Does anyone have a "AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ | 08:50 |
| kaizoku | What is CONFIG_X86_PAE=y for? | 08:50 |

| soren | Does anyone have a "AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+" CPU? | 08:50 |
| kaizoku | Is that an ubuntu specific option? | 08:50 |
| mohshami | Miesco: Ubuntu hands down | 08:50 |

| Ububegin | whats the diff between apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu2.2_i386.deb & apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu4.1_i386.deb .. the diff is ubuntu2.2 vs ubuntu4.1 ... | 08:51 |

| Ububegin | whats the diff between apache2-mpm-prefork_2.0.55-4ubuntu look[2.2|4.1] here _i386.deb | 08:51 |
| Ububegin | wats 2.2 and 4.1 mean | 08:51 |
| WGGMk | good night everyone | 08:52 |
| Miesco | Yea I guess ubuntu is better, but windows aint bothering us, are they? Why cant we just let them do their thing? | 08:52 |
| Neeku | /media/cdrom0 ? | 08:52 |
| cvd | intel or amd | 08:52 |
| bazhang | bye | 08:52 |

| WGGMk | !lol | WGGMk | 08:52 |
| Miesco | WGGMk: Every hour im on windows I turn a little bit more homosexual | 08:53 |
| bahman | bazhang So how could I solve my problem?! | 08:53 |
| WGGMk | oh jeeze | 08:53 |
| rcuhljr | So if I have the .ucode file for the new driver, how do I switch to that driver? | 08:53 |
| bazhang | bahman: what addons | 08:53 |
| cvd | = get out of the closet | 08:53 |
| WGGMk | gluck with that Miesco | 08:53 |
| Miesco | And a little bit more suicidle too | 08:53 |
| Ububegin | Miesco: when u using windows, better not get close to u, man... | 08:53 |
| soneil | Neeku: if /dev/cdrom0 exists, it sounds like a good candidate. otherwise I'd "grep cdrom /etc/fstab" and see what was detected at install-time | 08:53 |
| bahman | bazhang Is there any way to go back my previous version of firefox?! | 08:53 |
| Miesco | I might rape you then jump into the bath with a windows computer plugged in | 08:54 |
| soneil | Neeku: it's not /media/anything tho .. they're mountpoints, not devices (long story) | 08:54 |
| bazhang | bahman: which version do you want to go back to? 1.5? | 08:54 |
| cvd | i wonder, when is the day that i can buy OSX and install it in my PC | 08:55 |
| bazhang | Miesco: please stop | 08:55 |
| rcuhljr | anyone know how to manually update a driver? | 08:55 |
| Neeku | soneil: you mean i must use /dev/scd1 ? | 08:55 |

| soren | kaizoku: It's not. | 08:57 |
| Miesco | I mean, just like 4 hours would only make me a little bit more homosexual, not a lot, if I spent 30 years on it, if I hadent taken a screwdriver and jammed it in my throat, i'd probably be a flamming homosexual | 08:57 |

| kubitz | VvWolverinevV was it soon after installing p2p software? | 09:42 |
| kubitz | I'm just curious | 09:42 |

| VvWolverinevV | kubitz: possibly, i've tried a few this week | 09:42 |
| tech_m | ububegin<<< I cannot still move the folder there? Please help | 09:42 |
| kubitz | VvWolverinevV i have a feeling it's either Amule or one of the Gnutella clones if that helps to narrow it down | 09:43 |
| Ububegin | did u use sudo mv | 09:43 |
| Neeku | I', sure my password is correct but it says it's wrong and I cant log on as root | 09:43 |
| BadRobot | i want to install ubuntu on my free and spare partition,so do i have to install it w/o grub or do i have to install grub to the same partition where ubuntu comes.I already have other linux on this box | 09:43 |
| Neeku | help me | 09:43 |
| sseNssesSiroSori | hi | 09:43 |
| BadRobot | just type grep -i 'single white female' /usr2/home/women/* Neeku | 09:43 |
| VvWolverinevV | kubitz: this week, i've tried limewire, ktorrent... i think that's it | 09:43 |
| Ububegin | tech_m : did u use sudo mv | 09:43 |
| BadRobot | the best is azureus | 09:43 |
| VvWolverinevV | kubitz: maybe limewire, i installed abunch of different version of that | 09:44 |
| === sseNssesSiroSori is now known as SiroSoriS | ||
| Neeku | BadRobot: huh?!!!!!! | 09:44 |
| tech_m | I tried sudo cp -R ~/public_html /var/www/apache | 09:44 |
| BadRobot | i just kidding | 09:44 |
| VvWolverinevV | BadRobot: kubitz: i also tried azureus this week forgot about that | 09:44 |
| Neeku | BadRobot: I see!!! | 09:44 |
| kubitz | VvWolverinevV ah i think limewire uses the same nets as Amule so it may be that | 09:44 |
| Neeku | but i need help now | 09:44 |
| VvWolverinevV | ok | 09:44 |
| soneil | BadRobot: if you're confident adding another grub entry to your existing system, I'd skip grub on this instal. you only need one copy going. two is just going to confuse things | 09:44 |
| odysseas | BadRobot you can update the existing grub to boot ubuntu | 09:44 |
| kubitz | VvWolverinevV ah I just stuck with the basic Bittorrent | 09:44 |
| tech_m | and I checked it...and yeah I was able to add folder apache there...but still I cannot even delete nor add joomla contents there | 09:45 |
| kubitz | I'm not really a specialist in that field so it was enough for me | 09:45 |
| tech_m | PLEASE ASSIST>. | 09:45 |
| VvWolverinevV | kubitz: ktorrent is nice, and you can get it from add/remove | 09:45 |
| BadRobot | how do i update it? | 09:45 |
| VvWolverinevV | Neeku: azureus is the best bt client on mac os x IMO | 09:45 |
| BadRobot | sorry i like ubuntu ,but isn't perfect to keep it as my single distro .Odysseas | 09:45 |
| orbisvicis | tech_m, for more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 09:45 |
| kubitz | VvWolverinevV there are just so many aren't there - I was just blitzed by the sheer numbers on offer | 09:46 |
| odysseas | BadRobot better use ubuntu's grub, it will detect your other linux install and place it in grub so you'll have no problems | 09:46 |
| BadRobot | thx | 09:46 |
| VvWolverinevV | kubitz: move to ubuntu-offtopic | 09:46 |
| BadRobot | I have pc-bsd on the other parttion | 09:46 |
| orbisvicis | anyone know how to disable a specific program from starting up ... only when logged on via xvnc? | 09:46 |
| BadRobot | *partition | 09:46 |
| soneil | odysseas: until the other system gets an updated grub package, installs to mbr, and everything goes to pot. he needs to remove grub from one of the two. ignoring the second won't make it go away | 09:47 |

| ethana3 | yes. | 09:51 |
| ethana3 | it will work much better | 09:51 |

| emily | installed ntfs-3g and and have set up an ntfs partition as home | 10:25 |
| emily | now, all of the user permissions of all of the files on this ntfs partition are root, and it refuses to change them, whether or not I use sudo | 10:26 |
| emily | why? | 10:26 |
| joachim_ | emily: does ubuntu support writing to ntfs? | 10:26 |
| jeroenimo | ntfs-3g does | 10:26 |
| emily | via ntfs=3g, yes | 10:26 |
| joachim_ | ah | 10:26 |
| LispWarez | hello all | 10:26 |
| Johnny_5 | y would u want 2 put ubuntu on a ntfs partition to begin with?? | 10:27 |
| joachim_ | check your /etc/fstab | 10:27 |
| emily | I'm putting home on an ntfs partition so that vista and ubuntu can both access the files | 10:27 |
| LispWarez | can anyone help me, i wanna change over to ubuntu but want to know if i can run some sort of dos emulator in it | 10:27 |
| jeroenimo | LispWarez: vmware | 10:28 |
| emily | check the fstab for what? | 10:28 |
| jeroenimo | or Qemu | 10:28 |
| emily | I have it open | 10:28 |
| emily | /dev/sda3 /home ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 | 10:28 |
| jeroenimo | emily: does the ntfs part have write permissions ? | 10:28 |
| joachim_ | the umask for that drive | 10:28 |
| LispWarez | run vmware in ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| jeroenimo | LispWarez: sure why not | 10:28 |
| etfb | LispWarez: VMWare Server is now free (ie zero price, but not Free Software). I use it to run Windows happily. | 10:29 |
| emily | does that have the correct write permissions? | 10:29 |

| pihhan | hello | 10:29 |
| phuzion | Ok, I've recently moved to Ubuntu from Windows. My torrent client of choice was, obviously, uTorrent. I run uTorrent in Wine now, and have imported the saved data from my Windows partition. Now, of course, the download locations are obviously not appropriate anymore. Anyone know of a simple way to edit the uTorrent save information so that everything associates with my new linux paths? | 10:29 |
| Johnny_5 | can't u have vista on a i386? | 10:29 |
| emily | thoughts on the fstab? | 10:29 |
| emily | /dev/sda3 /home ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_GB.UTF-8 0 0 | 10:29 |
| phuzion | Johnny_5, yeah, Vista is supported on i386 architecture | 10:29 |
| etfb | LispWarez: Download the VMWare Server; follow the instructions to install; fire it up; install Windows on a VM; and you're done. | 10:29 |
| LispWarez | thats the thing... i dont want windows | 10:30 |
| jeroenimo | pihhan: just start the new client and make sure it saves the torrents in the same place as where the old ones where .. | 10:30 |
| Johnny_5 | well personally that's what i woulda done... | 10:30 |
| ewen | LispWarez - you could check out dosbox | 10:30 |
| LispWarez | yea i looked at dosbox.com but theres nothing listed for ubuntu | 10:30 |
| joachim_ | emily: I have for the options bit on my FAT32 drives: defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 | 10:30 |
| nemilar | stop running utorrent in wine | 10:30 |
| joachim_ | though I don't know what all those do... ;) | 10:30 |
| nemilar | use a linux torrent program | 10:30 |
| etfb | LispWarez: I created a DOS 7 machine by just installing Win95 and then editing the autoexec so it didn't load Windows... | 10:30 |
| bullgard4 | What is the reason that Ubuntu does not provide a DEB program package for OmagaT? | 10:31 |
| Johnny_5 | err...tqaht's what i ment...man i'm a retard | 10:31 |
| joachim_ | you might want to try adding umask=007 to that comma list of options | 10:31 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: no-one has packaged it | 10:31 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: it's that simple | 10:31 |
| nemilar | bullgard4: what is it? | 10:31 |
| tim167 | dabr ok thanks i'll try it out | 10:31 |
| LispWarez | i also cant just have a dos OS, need to open an excel spreadsheet (read only) on it too | 10:31 |
| Johnny_5 | freakin' fat32...can't vista use fat32? | 10:31 |
| etfb | phuzion: ktorrent is pretty good (it's the KDE/Kubuntu one, but of course you can get it regardless of your distro). Not as good as uTorrent, but close enough. | 10:31 |
| tokok | does lm-sensors contain HDD sensors? cuz my hdds not detected | 10:31 |
| pihhan | dont you know someone, how to turn off sound right after login? | 10:31 |
| Johnny_5 | ok i can def tell i need 2 go 2 bed soon...sorry | 10:32 |
| jeroenimo | pihhan: have a look at deluge-torrent | 10:32 |
| ikonia | tokok: hdd sensors - in what way | 10:32 |
| linux1 | tokok look at hhdtemp | 10:32 |
| jeroenimo | pihhan: sorry | 10:32 |
| phuzion | etfb, if I move clients, that still brings the issue of re-importing over 300 torrents, and setting appropriate download paths | 10:32 |
| pihhan | tokok: smartmontools are for that | 10:32 |
| jeroenimo | phuzion: have a look at deluge-torrent | 10:32 |
| phuzion | jeroenimo, if I move clients, that still brings the issue of re-importing over 300 torrents, and setting appropriate download paths | 10:33 |
| etfb | LispWarez: for the spreadsheet, Open Office may work. You may have to manually edit all formulas to use semicolons instead of commas, because the OOo developers are retarded... | 10:33 |
| jeroenimo | phuzion: well noo.. | 10:33 |
| etfb | phuzion: Do you have the .torrent files? | 10:33 |
| tim167 | dabr when i do find / -name "*.txt" | grep whatever, i get some Permission denied messages, is that normal ? | 10:33 |
| nemilar | it can prolly read/write fat32, Johnny_5 | 10:33 |
| nemilar | but i doubt it'll install to it | 10:33 |
| nemilar | tokok: no, it doesn't | 10:33 |
| nemilar | tokok: www.techthrob.com/tech/linuxsensors.php | 10:33 |
| nemilar | tokok: I _just_ wrote that how-to like a few hours ago. see the part about hddtemp | 10:33 |
| linux1 | tokok you can get hddtemp to pull the temp and show them with gnome sensor applet | 10:33 |
| FloodBot1 | nemilar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:33 |
| Johnny_5 | cool | 10:33 |
| nemilar | listen floodbot. it's too early in the morning for you. | 10:33 |
| jeroenimo | phuzion: nope... when you set the default download directory you should be fine | 10:33 |
| phuzion | etfb, yes, I have the .torrent files. But what you guys aren't understanding is that I have different download locations depending on content type | 10:34 |
| nemilar | tim167: yeah that's normal. | 10:34 |
| tokok | thanks guys! | 10:34 |
| etfb | phuzion: Sounds like you're pretty well a BT superuser though, way out of my league. The largest collection of torrents I've ever downloaded simultaneously was probably three... | 10:34 |
| LispWarez | yea i was planning on using open office | 10:34 |
| nemilar | tim167: if you want to search _everything_ including files only readable by root, do it sudo | 10:34 |
| jeroenimo | phuzion: yups.... lost me too | 10:34 |
| tim167 | nemilar, ok then ! | 10:34 |
| LispWarez | but still need to run a dos app under ubuntu too | 10:34 |
| etfb | LispWarez: It's not MUCH less irritating that MS Office, sadly. But at least it gets updated without costing $$$ | 10:34 |
| phuzion | etfb, I am an administrator on a tracker, I sorta know my way around BitTorrent | 10:34 |
| LispWarez | at the same time | 10:34 |
| dabr | tim167: yes because you search all of your drive, but do not have permission for some directories... if your *.txt are all in your home dir, use ~ instead of / | 10:34 |
| Johnny_5 | i never heard of linux using ntfs (not to say it can't be done...just means i never heard about it...) so if u want the best of both worlds (linux & vista) i'd go with a fat32 file system... | 10:35 |
| pihhan | LispWarez: dosbox is good choice for dos applications | 10:35 |
| jeroenimo | phuzion: Well I guess you ned to hack the uTorrent config files | 10:35 |
| etfb | phuzion: Like I said: outa my league. Sorry, can't help you. | 10:35 |
| nemilar | Johnny_5: linux has read/write support for ntfs | 10:35 |
| nemilar | fat32 is junk | 10:35 |
| phuzion | etfb, thanks for the help | 10:35 |
| tim167 | dabr, thanks | 10:35 |
| Johnny_5 | oh | 10:35 |
| etfb | phuzion: no wuckers. | 10:35 |
| * jeroenimo nods at etfb and I'm out too | 10:35 | |
| phuzion | jeroenimo, yeah, that's what I'm thinking to do, but I can't seem to find the encoding type for it :( | 10:35 |
| LispWarez | pihhan: yea but dosbox on ubuntu... can it be done? | 10:35 |
| nemilar | fat32 hasn't been the primary windows filesystem since windows98/ME | 10:35 |
| pihhan | LispWarez: but it is only DOS, no windows at all | 10:36 |
| Johnny_5 | cool...learn something new everyday...i'll try 2 remember that for the future... | 10:36 |
| Johnny_5 | well i guess i'm not much help here today... | 10:36 |
| pihhan | LispWarez: i am sure it can, it is not distribution related | 10:36 |
| Johnny_5 | i'm goin' 2 bed now... | 10:36 |
| Johnny_5 | later all | 10:36 |
| msingh | is there a nice gui tool to use to edit /etc/fstab? | 10:36 |
| etfb | LispWarez: Start again, cos I'm a bat of very little brain. What is it you want, exactly. You're starting with Ubuntu but you have some Windows stuff you need to run. What is it exactly? | 10:36 |
| LispWarez | which dosbox package would be most suited for ubuntu then? | 10:36 |
| msingh | LispWarez, nice name | 10:36 |
| nemilar | msingh: pysdm maybe? donno | 10:37 |
| pihhan | LispWarez: install dosbox package then, propably in universe repository | 10:37 |
| LispWarez | ok what i need is a linux box (preferably ubuntu) that can open an excel spreadsheet and run a dos app | 10:37 |
| joedj | does anyone know where the /bin/arch binary that used to be in util-linux has gone in Gutsy? i can't find it with apt-file | 10:37 |
| nemilar | LispWarez: oo.o can handle excel...and dosbox, or wine, or vmware, or qemu, or any host of things can take care of your dos apps | 10:38 |
| phuzion | jeroenimo and etfb either of you guys familiar with wine at all? because I have an idea that might work, I just wanna run it by you guys first | 10:38 |
| msingh | nemilar, cheers, looks good. | 10:38 |
| etfb | phuzion: Moderately. I've got it working for most things, although I'm not ambitious... | 10:38 |
| pihhan | depends on how complicated are excel spreadsheets, openoffice handles only simple ones | 10:38 |
| LispWarez | i will see what i can do | 10:38 |
| pihhan | no macros or like | 10:38 |
| LispWarez | thanks for the help guys | 10:38 |
| nemilar | macros are for virii ;) | 10:39 |

| etfb | phuzion: Excellent! I wish there was a #usb channel to help me... | 10:40 |
| pihhan | etfb: never had need to replace commas in that however | 10:40 |
| nemilar | one of my articles got front-paged at linux.com :D | 10:40 |

| cdealer | etfb, its not mounting ? | 10:43 |
| etfb | Yep. Some things do, some don't. | 10:43 |
| cdealer | etfb, have you already made a lazy umount and tried to remount specifiing the file system ? | 10:43 |
| nemilar | well what does dmesg say? | 10:43 |
| etfb | YEt they were fine on Feisty on the same hardware. | 10:43 |
| erUSUL | etfb: it could be a usb issue or an udev issue or a hald issue | 10:44 |
| linux1 | pihhan look in /system/admin/accessibility | 10:44 |
| etfb | erUSUL, cdealer: can you point me to tutorials on that? Don't want to waste your time... | 10:44 |
| etfb | Even man pages would do... | 10:44 |
| pihhan | nemilar: thanks! so simple, what a shame not to find it | 10:45 |
| nemilar | np | 10:45 |
| cdealer | etfb, man mount have all about this | 10:45 |
| * etfb scribbles down notes in a spare Emacs window... | 10:45 | |
| nemilar | what's an emacs | 10:45 |
| nemilar | is that some sort of devilish contraption? | 10:46 |
| etfb | nemilar: it's a high-powered multi-platform operating system with one or two text-editing extensions. Also, a religion. | 10:46 |
| cdealer | etfb, dmesg will be th default debug output you will be using to see what happned on the mount action .... remove the device them plug again and type dmesg to see any error report | 10:46 |
| nemilar | lol, one or two extensions | 10:46 |
| nemilar | the dang thing can run a web browser | 10:46 |
| nemilar | oh, lol, you made it a funny | 10:47 |
| etfb | nemilar: Web browser? Bah! It could run the space shuttle! AND the astronauts would survive a whole lot better... | 10:47 |
| pihhan | plain text editor with embedded operating sytem? | 10:47 |
| erUSUL | etfb: do 'sudo udevmonitor' on a terminal and plug a problematic usb device also in other terminal run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' you should see a few/lot msgs appearing on both terminals meaning that the kernel recognice the device and also that udev generates the /dev/files etc | 10:47 |
| nemilar | i'm half asleep, didn't read your line as a joke | 10:47 |
| memic | where does the nm-applet save its configuration? | 10:48 |
| etfb | erUSUL: thanks, that's golden. Just what I needed. | 10:48 |
| * etfb scribbles furiously | 10:48 | |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | hello | 10:49 |
| etfb | Thanks, lads and lasses; that's just what I needed. Right; off to do some debugging. AFTER I sleep... | 10:49 |
| erUSUL | etfb: well we, acolites of the Emacs Church, must help each other in times of need XD. RMS said so | 10:50 |
| erUSUL | etfb: lol | 10:50 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | how can i get the "@ubuntu/member" at my irc nick? | 10:50 |
| doctorow | I'm trying to upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy using the Update Manager. Update Manager dies while setting up the update with an error about not being able to resolve archive.ubuntustudio.org. I can't seem to resolve this host from anywhere either. Is the host down temporarily? Can I disable the Ubuntustudio installs somehow, or point Update Manager to a mirror? | 10:50 |
| erUSUL | Kamus_H_Zwisch: by being an ubuntu member of some sort? | 10:50 |
| etfb | erUSUL: You've reminded me: I really should find an irc.el so I don't keep having to use inferior non-RMSian software. | 10:50 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | erUSUL: hmmmm | 10:51 |
| dgjones | !member > Kamus_H_Zwisch (Please see the private message from ubotu) | 10:51 |
| erUSUL | etfb: ;) well i use irssi (not in emacs) but i'm a sinner XD | 10:51 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | thank you dgjones | 10:51 |
| etfb | doctorow (can I call you Cory? love your site, BTW): I really can't recommend upgrading. Clean installs are the way to go. | 10:51 |
| Kamus_H_Zwisch | :) | 10:51 |
| joedj | does everyone else immediately relink /bin/sh to /bin/bash when dash screws them over? | 10:51 |
| nemilar | no | 10:52 |
| erUSUL | joedj: no we just run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' | 10:52 |
| etfb | joedj: I'd be scared of encountering shell incompatibilities... | 10:52 |
| erUSUL | joedj: XD | 10:52 |
| nemilar | mainly because /bin/sh is already linked to bash | 10:52 |
| doctorow | SUre, etfb! Call me anything you like! I've downloaded and burned a CD, but I'm reluctant to run it, since using the manager is the proscribed method from emperor linux, who sold me this Thinkpad. I want to keep their stuff intact (drivers for the tablet, etc) | 10:52 |
| pihhan | i dont think so | 10:52 |
| pihhan | i am sure i dont have /bin/sh linked to bash | 10:53 |
| nemilar | wait, why is it linked to dash one one of my systems and bash on another | 10:53 |
| neeto | I am playing CS on one screen, fullscreen, and I switched out and the screen disappeared, how can I get back into it"? | 10:53 |
| joedj | erUSUL: thanks, that feels nicer =P | 10:53 |
| pihhan | i have fresh gutsy install and have dash as default shell | 10:53 |
| etfb | doctorow: Gotcha. Bugger. I stuffed up my F->G upgrade. I suspect they don't test it terribly well. Short of hand-editing repositories and starting again, I don't know what you'd do. Sorry! | 10:53 |
| nemilar | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-08-21 11:51 /bin/sh -> bash | 10:54 |
| nemilar | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-05-22 23:53 /bin/sh -> dash | 10:54 |
| erUSUL | doctorow: is ubuntu studio what you have iinstaled? or plain ubuntu? | 10:54 |
| doctorow | Thanks, etfb - I'm just wondering if archive.ubuntustudio.org is temporarily offline... | 10:54 |
| doctorow | erUSUL, no, plain ubuntu | 10:54 |
| FFighter | /join #zope-pt | 10:55 |
| FFighter | lol... sorry | 10:55 |
| ikonia | doctorow: ubuntustudio guys live in #ubuntustudio | 10:55 |
| FFighter | =P | 10:55 |
| erUSUL | doctorow: if it is plain ubuntu just comment the ubuntu studio repo and make the dist-upgrade without it | 10:55 |
| neeto | I am playing CS on one screen, fullscreen, and I switched out and the screen disappeared, how can I get back into it"? | 10:55 |
| doctorow | ikonia, thanks -- I'll go ask them | 10:55 |
| etfb | neeto: What's CS? | 10:55 |
| sapperjanko | WGGMk: ya still there me little INFO desk | 10:55 |
| ikonia | etfb: windows game | 10:55 |
| pihhan | neeto: how did you switch out? | 10:56 |
| BenoitH | I think CS is counter strike | 10:56 |
| neeto | etfb: counterstrike, windows thing | 10:56 |
| BenoitH | a valve's games | 10:56 |
| doctorow | erUSUL -- I'm trying to do the update with the Updater, not apt-get, but that's a good idea | 10:56 |
| === Mez_ is now known as Me | ||
| === Me is now known as Mez | ||
| etfb | neeto: Ah, that rings a bell (I'm an old fart; I still prefer Tetris). How are you playing it? Wine? | 10:56 |
| neeto | pihhan: I have compiz running, and I wanted to see if the cube worked with it, so I switched workspaces and it's not on the original anymore | 10:56 |
| neeto | etfb: wine, yeah | 10:56 |
| etfb | neeto: Woooh! Welcome to the edges of Linux/Windows compatibility. That's tricky! | 10:57 |
| doctorow | OK, I'm going to head over to #ubuntustudio and ask around -- thanks everyone! | 10:57 |
| neeto | lol, I can still hear it playing in the background | 10:57 |
| etfb | neeto: Do a Ctrl+Esc and see if its process is still running. It may have crashed. | 10:57 |
| pihhan | neeto: check if it is still present as a process | 10:57 |
| neeto | it is, and it hasn't crashed | 10:57 |
| neeto | I just want to find the window, wherever it may have hidden itsellf | 10:58 |
| erUSUL | doctorow: you can comment out the repo and then lauch the update manager | 10:58 |
| etfb | There should be some way to select a process. Perhaps via the Ctrl+Esc thingy (it's called ksystemguard under KDE; not sure under Gnome) | 10:58 |
| neeto | I can still hear people killing each other | 10:58 |
| pihhan | ok, try every workspace :) | 10:58 |
| neeto | I'm using gnome, anyone know? | 10:58 |
| etfb | neeto: Alternatively, you can kill the process from there and restart; would that work? | 10:58 |
| neeto | Yeah, I tried every workspace, I'm also using compiz and nautilus so | 10:58 |
| pihhan | try to switch in with alt-tab into it, maybe it will reinitialize screen | 10:59 |
| neeto | etfb: that's what I just did, but it wasn't the step I wanted to take... | 10:59 |
| Nubae | hi there... quick question... I'm doing apt-get install edubuntu-desktop, but it fails close to the end with this message: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:252: process_queue: Assertion `!queuelen' failed | 10:59 |
| tockitj | Q: flash player stoped working after an update? i've tried removing and installing flashplugin-nonfree | 10:59 |
| neeto | pihhan: that didn't work either | 10:59 |
| nemilar | !flash | tockitj | 10:59 |
| Nubae | it core dumps after that, so can't do dpkg --configure -a | 10:59 |
| ubotu | tockitj: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » | 10:59 |
| pihhan | i dont expect guys in wine was fixing such things | 10:59 |
| pihhan | so, dont switch screens if you want play :) | 10:59 |
| nemilar | if you want to game, use cedega instead of wine | 10:59 |
| neeto | meh, I don't really need a fix... I was just seeing if it worked and it doesn't, I'm not heartbroken | 11:00 |
| tockitj | nemilar thanks :-) | 11:00 |
| nemilar | yup | 11:00 |
| neeto | I'm just glad I can play without windows *shudder* | 11:00 |
| etfb | I'm out of here. Must sleep. Thanks guys. Good luck getting back to the death and mayhem, neeto! | 11:00 |
| nemilar | tomorrow is alpha4 day | 11:00 |
| neeto | etfb: night man, thanks | 11:00 |
| Nubae | anyone? | 11:01 |
| cdealer | Im having a problem to set the default gw through dhcp ... I dont know why but my dhcp clients are not geting the default route in the format of 192.168.0.1 but dhcp-server.localhost .. and this is making some problem with conecting on msn and stuff like that.. I tried the option routers 192.168.0.1 in dhcpd.conf but didint worked | 11:01 |
| BenoitH | nemilar: cedega isn't free ? | 11:02 |
| nemilar | no it's not | 11:02 |
| nemilar | it's put out by Transgaming | 11:02 |
| krabador | hey people, i've a problem with kde graphical effects | 11:02 |
| krabador | i can't uninstalll | 11:02 |
| BenoitH | that's suxx :-/ | 11:02 |
| krabador | what can i do? | 11:02 |
| popey | BenoitH: it pays for continued development | 11:03 |
| nemilar | well if you want games to work well, and to have support in linux, that's what you get | 11:03 |
| BenoitH | yes, i know | 11:03 |
| popey | BenoitH: and licensing that they have to do AIUI | 11:03 |
| ShaunES | Anyone set up nstx client on ubuntu before? | 11:03 |
| Nubae | if you want to play games that were released 4 or 5 years ago, yeah | 11:03 |
| ShaunES | http://thomer.com/howtos/nstx.html following that | 11:03 |
| nemilar | they support recent games | 11:03 |
| tokok | games not work well in cedega just like in wine | 11:03 |
| nemilar | wrong | 11:03 |
| Nubae | bah... without tinkering its just as bad as wine | 11:04 |
| tokok | wine is always newer than cedega | 11:04 |
| tokok | they slow to update | 11:04 |
| Nubae | exactly | 11:04 |
| Nubae | same deal with crossover | 11:04 |
| nemilar | if you want to play world of warcraft, cedega works great | 11:04 |
| nemilar | if you wanna play maden 07, works great | 11:05 |
| Nubae | wow works fine in wine too | 11:05 |
| BenoitH | you can play to world of warcraft with wine | 11:05 |
| tokok | if you want play wow, nothing stoppid doing it with wine | 11:05 |
| nemilar | but then people complain here when something goes wrong | 11:05 |
| derek01 | Do i need to install ubuntu before or after my windows partition to dual-boot | 11:05 |
| nemilar | with cedega, they buy a subscription, so they complain elsewhere | 11:05 |
| Nubae | if you're feeling philanthropic, go ahead and purchase membership with cedega | 11:05 |
| BenoitH | Can we play to half life 2 with wine or cedega ? | 11:05 |
| Nubae | otherwise use wine | 11:06 |
| nemilar | there's nothing philanthropic about paying someone for their commercial product | 11:06 |
| Nubae | there is when u can get wine for free | 11:06 |
| nemilar | no. | 11:06 |
| nemilar | philanthropic would be giving money to wine | 11:06 |
| Nubae | hey, I payed for six months | 11:06 |
| Nubae | it is like giving money to wine | 11:06 |
| derek01 | Can anyone help- me with my question? | 11:06 |
| Nubae | thats the whole point | 11:06 |
| nemilar | no, it's like giving money to Transgaming | 11:07 |
| Nubae | yes, who code wine | 11:07 |
| nemilar | no | 11:07 |
| tokok | nemilar: ok, do you have list of games which work in cedega but not in wine? | 11:07 |
| nemilar | dude | 11:07 |
| nemilar | tokok: on the cedega website, or google | 11:07 |
| stefano_ | transgaming has not proggrammed wine | 11:07 |
| nemilar | Transgaming did not write wine, and if you think that, you're an idiot | 11:07 |
| Nubae | jeez... | 11:07 |
| charles | Transgaming is a fork of the wine project | 11:07 |
| stefano_ | nemilar, please watch your language and keep this channel friendly | 11:07 |
| derek01 | Should my ubuntu partition be before or after my windows partition on my Hard Drive? | 11:07 |
| Nubae | you dont think Transgamming gives their changes back to wine? | 11:08 |
| nemilar | stefano_: yeah, I know better | 11:08 |
| nemilar | derek01: doesn't make a difference | 11:08 |
| BenoitH | derek01, I think it's better after ;) | 11:08 |
| tokok | nemilar: i said about comparison, not about list of games. | 11:08 |
| derek01 | thank you | 11:08 |
| evdvelde | hi all,how does one start a software raid after booting (non root partition)? | 11:08 |
| charles | derek01 although I don't think that it matters all that much if you are using grub as your boot manager | 11:08 |
| nemilar | I think if you're using the windows boot manager, it will complain if the partition number of the windows drive is too high, actually | 11:09 |
| derek01 | well everytime i try to install ubuntu gutsy it just hangs after i get to the final step on teh install | 11:09 |
| |WolF1 | Question: How to install gcc, is there any command to get it, or any link to help? | 11:09 |
| charles | evdvelde are you currently booted onto a drive that is going to be in the raid? | 11:09 |
| stefano_ | evdvelde, you dont have to "start" it, you just have to mount it, | 11:09 |
| nemilar | tokok: to quote you, you said "list of games" | 11:09 |
| evdvelde | charles: no, it is a log partition for test systems, completely separate | 11:09 |
| BenoitH | apt-get install gcc ? | 11:09 |
| nemilar | |WolF1: apt-get install build-essentials | 11:09 |
| stefano_ | |WolF1, install the package "build-essential" | 11:10 |
| charles | |WolF1 sudo apt-get build-essential | 11:10 |
| tokok | nemilar: check this to find out all your games work without cedega http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 11:10 |
| nemilar | ^^ | 11:10 |
| derek01 | anyon | 11:10 |
| derek01 | ? | 11:10 |
| krabador | hei people, i can't unistal graphical effects in kubuntu gutsy (at startup they run, but from kde menu they're disabled) | 11:10 |
| stefano_ | it's build-essential without the s, | 11:10 |
| evdvelde | stefano_: i put it in fstab but it does not get mounted and it complains that /dev/md0 has a wrong fs_type when trying to mount. after mdadm -A -s, it works fine | 11:10 |
| krabador | what can i do? | 11:10 |
| |WolF1 | it says to me E: Invalid operation build-essential | 11:11 |
| derek01 | well everytime i try to install ubuntu gutsy it just hangs after i get to the final step on the install | 11:11 |
| stefano_ | evdvelde, you can put this command in /etc/rc.local then it gets executed at boot | 11:11 |
| evdvelde | stefano_: i could do that, yes.. just wondering if there was a clean method to autodetect it | 11:11 |
| stefano_ | |WolF1, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 11:11 |
| evdvelde | i like clean solutions :) | 11:11 |
| stefano_ | evdvelde, no idea, sry | 11:11 |
| evdvelde | stefano_: np, thx for helping | 11:11 |
| Nubae | TransGaming halted using code contributed to Wine when the license was changed, though this has resumed recently with TransGaming integrating certain LGPL portions of Wine into Cedega and placing those portions of the source code on their public servers. | 11:12 |
| charles | sorry evdvelde I don't know either | 11:12 |
| netgear | anyone having problems with installing ubuntu restricted extras? | 11:12 |
| evdvelde | charles: thx too :) | 11:12 |
| nemilar | Nubae: way to quote wikipedia | 11:12 |
| maltron | I'm trying to read the table of contents on an audio cd, but I can't get cdrdao to read it. Every other program seems to work fine, including k3b | 11:12 |
| derek01 | Can anyone help me with this, everytime i try to install ubuntu gutsy it just hangs up after i get to the final step on the install and never does the actual install or partitioning | 11:12 |
| stefano_ | derek01, do you know what mainboard you have? | 11:13 |
| netgear | derek01: bad memory perhaps? | 11:13 |
| Nubae | nemilar... u saying thats not true? | 11:13 |
| nemilar | I didn't say that. | 11:13 |
| derek01 | memorys good | 11:13 |
| derek01 | 2 gb brand new just tested | 11:13 |
| tokok | (16:09:42) nemilar: tokok: to quote you, you said "list of games" - and this is not full quote, i said list of games which not work in wine, not list of games which work in cedega (which just mirror wine games list probably) | 11:14 |
| Nubae | well, point is, give money to transgaming or crossover, u help development of wine | 11:14 |
| netgear | derek01: hdd bad sectors? how old is the machine? | 11:14 |
| derek01 | and my mobo is an A13G+ AMD | 11:14 |
| Nubae | codeweavers... sorry | 11:14 |
| derek01 | brand new | 11:14 |
| Tassinar | Ahoy all. | 11:14 |
| derek01 | dual core | 11:14 |
| nemilar | ok, i am leaving. | 11:14 |
| derek01 | amd 6000+ | 11:14 |
| yeniklasorr | How can I add a specific value of ram usage limit for an application (especially for firefox, because it is slowing down). | 11:15 |
| derek01 | 500gb hd all sectors that i know of are fine havnt encountered any problems with it until now | 11:15 |
| tokok | ok he was not able to prove "cedega is better" | 11:15 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr: pardon ? | 11:15 |
| Tassinar_ | Oh. "Ubuntu Server" is an alias for "FreeNode". Fine. | 11:16 |
| derek01 | is there a way to manually install through terminal | 11:16 |
| ikonia | derek01: through a terminal ? | 11:16 |
| derek01 | yea | 11:16 |
| ikonia | derek01: the alternate cd is a "non graphical" installer | 11:16 |
| yeniklasorr | ikonia : I want this: Firefox can use 500 MB of ram... | 11:16 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr: let the kernel manage your memory - it's smarter | 11:16 |
| derek01 | i cant get a alternate cd at the moment | 11:16 |
| ikonia | derek01 then no - you'll have to wait until you can get it | 11:17 |
| derek01 | i was hoping to get the install don | 11:17 |
| stefano_ | derek01, while installing, you can press ctrl plus an arrow key to change terminals, in one (i think thr second) there is a detailed list of what the installer does, checking what happes just before it hangs might solve your problem | 11:17 |
| derek01 | stefano: Thank you | 11:17 |
| stefano_ | derek01, i suppose you use the alternate--cd? | 11:17 |
| FreeDownload | Hi, people. | 11:17 |
| yeniklasorr | ikonia : But firefox is slowing down and not responding when I open a few tabs or a page that has lots of text. | 11:17 |
| FreeDownload | Juan from Argentina. | 11:17 |
| derek01 | stefano: no im no the livecd right now | 11:18 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr: then there is probably something else causing the issue | 11:18 |
| FreeDownload | Is there anybody from southamerica ? | 11:18 |
| stefano_ | derek01, oh. download the alternate cd and install from it, it's not muich harder and it may work a lot better | 11:18 |
| FreeDownload | (sorry about my english) | 11:18 |
| yeniklasorr | ikonia : I have a fresh install Ubuntu | 11:18 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr so ? | 11:18 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr how much ram does your machine have ? | 11:18 |
| yeniklasorr | 1 gb | 11:19 |
| linux1 | yeniklasorr type about:config in browser and have a look cant rember that value to chenage but you can limit firefox from there | 11:19 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr: then ram is not your issue for firefox | 11:19 |
| yeniklasorr | cpu ? | 11:19 |
| ikonia | yeniklasorr: the linux kernel will manage your ram more effectivly than you can | 11:19 |
| stefano_ | yeniklasorr, firefox isnt all that fast, i suggest you try epihany - (the package is called epiphany-browser) | 11:19 |
| yeniklasorr | 2.6 ghz | 11:19 |
| yeniklasorr | epihany ok ;) | 11:19 |
| FreeDownload | anyway, firefox should work in a machine like thar | 11:19 |
| k4r0nt3 | m | 11:20 |
| stefano_ | true | 11:20 |
| FreeDownload | *that | 11:20 |
| FreeDownload | 1168 users online? | 11:20 |
| FreeDownload | wow. | 11:20 |
| linux1 | yeniklasorr http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/04/reduce-memory-usage-in-firefox.html | 11:20 |
| FreeDownload | nice server, hehe | 11:20 |
| Tassinar | Has anyone had any luck with getting Rhythymbox to play music file when it starts, say if you provide the filename as an argument? | 11:21 |
| ikonia | FreeDownload: this is an ubuntu support channel, not a chat channel. Do you have a question about ubuntu ? | 11:21 |
| yeniklasorr | Can YOU open a webpage with firefox, if that page has 2 mb of text ? | 11:21 |
| stefano_ | FreeDownload, sometimes we have more than 3000 here :-) | 11:21 |
| FreeDownload | ikonia, no, I don't have any question. | 11:21 |
| ikonia | FreeDownload: then please keep in mind this is a support channel only, not a chat channel | 11:21 |

| BenderUnit22 | tarelerulz: well, cdrecord/wodim is excellent from the command line... But how do you mean "native"? | 11:40 |
| space | where you from | 11:40 |
| BenderUnit22 | tparcina: you don't have to use ssh separately. | 11:40 |
| BenderUnit22 | tparcina: example scp command: scp user@host:/path/to/file . | 11:40 |
| tparcina | BenderUnit22: but I need ssh for cli | 11:40 |
| BenderUnit22 | tparcina: if you've installed ssh, the client programs scp and sftp should already be there as well. | 11:41 |
| tarelerulz | I mean when you install Ubuntu from the cd does it have programs for burning normal audio cd from mp3 . | 11:41 |

| tparcina | BenderUnit22: I haven't install it seperately, it's ssh that comes with Ubuntu 7.10 distribution | 11:41 |
| BenderUnit22 | |WolF1: not sure what you're installing, but try installing libglib2.0-dev or something the like. | 11:41 |
| BenderUnit22 | tparcina: so don't bother, you can use scp all right, normally, then. | 11:42 |
| |WolF1 | BenderUnit22: xchat | 11:42 |
| |WolF1 | how can i install libglib2.0-dev ? | 11:42 |
| tparcina | BenderUnit22: so, when I establish ssh connection I just execute scp user@host:/path and he will use the same connection (he won't try to establish one more)? | 11:43 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: what are you trying to actually install | 11:43 |
| |WolF1 | ikonia: xchat | 11:43 |
| Seveas | |WolF1, install it from the repositories | 11:43 |
| Seveas | don't compile it yourself :) | 11:43 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: xwhat is available from the ubuntu repos | 11:43 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: it's also got a version with gnome bindings | 11:43 |
| Seveas | ikonia, I love that typo :) | 11:44 |
| |WolF1 | i have live cd so i can't find it :( | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Seveas: just noticed it myself | 11:44 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: it's on the livecd | 11:44 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: or the interenet repo's | 11:44 |
| Seveas | ikonia, it's not on the livecd since feisty iirc | 11:44 |
| ikonia | Seveas: ooh, I stand corrected then | 11:45 |
| Seveas | |WolF1, install ubuntu first, makes life easier | 11:45 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: dragging from an internet repo will be more time effective than trying to compile it on a live cd | 11:45 |
| void^ | tparcina: if you want to reuse an existing ssh connection for scp you have to use some extra ssh options, ControlMaster and ControlPath. see 'man ssh_config'. | 11:45 |
| |WolF1 | ikonia: how can i do that? | 11:45 |
| donald_ | why doesn't the Ubuntu version of mplayer include AMR in the compile options? | 11:45 |
| ikonia | |WolF1: apt-get install xchat-gnome | 11:45 |

| zoobox | Seveas: I thought I perhaps can edit some settingsfile where the keyboard shortcut window put the settings? | 11:50 |
| Seveas | zoobox, but you can only associate one key combo with an action :) | 11:50 |
| zoobox | fevel, I believe there perhaps is still some problemd with the flashplugin non free. it isn't installed correctly. you can install the flashpluginfile manually instead. | 11:51 |
| fevel | zoobox, Ive tried removing it with synaptic and then reinstalling it. Is there a more manual way to do it? | 11:52 |

| dbmoodb | does the 64bit version of ubuntu work with wine ? | 12:32 |
| Squee | Dr_willis: I was teaching someone debian instead of windows, once they started understanding how intuitive it was they converted completely. (less than a week) | 12:32 |
| sarmisak | dbmoodb: yeah it works | 12:32 |
| moon_g | how's the gfxboot differ from the gfxboot in synaptic package manager, it seems that the one in SPM is more updated | 12:32 |
| StrangeCharm_ | Dr_willis: lunch here, but given my sleep cycle, that's more like random-snack time | 12:32 |
| Dr_willis | StrangeCharm_, i work 3rd shift now.. Its breakfast.. then bed time for me. | 12:32 |
| StrangeCharm_ | Dr_willis: ouch | 12:33 |
| Squee | moon_g: if it is in synaptic, use that. I think he built in for other users in the forums when it wasn't already pre-packaged | 12:33 |
| eugman|work | What command line command checks disk space? | 12:33 |
| Squee | df -h | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | I like df -h -x tmpfs -x devpts -x usbfs | 12:33 |
| moon_g | but the one in synaptic doesn't have any guide whatsoever, anyway i'll give the guide in the forum another shot | 12:35 |
| ludal-live | hello all, I'm on a xubuntu LiveCD and I'd like to copy some files from my HDD to an external usb HDD but I can't | 12:36 |
| ludal-live | the mount command give me : /dev/sda1 on /media/LaCie type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=999,utf8,umask=077) | 12:36 |
| ludal-live | for my HDD | 12:36 |
| ludal-live | can sbdy help me ? | 12:37 |
| sarmisak | so? | 12:37 |
| sarmisak | what's the problem | 12:37 |
| * zoom is away: Occupé | 12:37 | |
| eugman|work | I have a server install, is it possible install the gui stuff but have it start up only when I call it from the command line? | 12:37 |
| mavi- | eugman|work: sure | 12:37 |
| moon_g | To Squee: the line that i don't understand in the forum guide is "gfxmenu /boot/grub/message.suse # the suse can be replaced" | 12:38 |
| ludal-live | sarmisak: I can't copy, it says that it's mounted in read-only | 12:38 |
| Pici | !away > zoom (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 12:38 |
| moon_g | where do i put it? | 12:38 |
| sarmisak | it's not ntfs right? | 12:38 |
| ludal-live | no, fat32 | 12:38 |
| Squee | moon_g: I think that the message.suse file was a theme. You should be able to find a message.ubuntu | 12:38 |
| sarmisak | actually it seems to be mounted rw | 12:39 |
| sarmisak | read/write | 12:39 |
| Squee | moon_g: until you have it working, i'd recommend leave it at message.suse | 12:39 |
| sarmisak | did you try to cp something with sudo cp /path/smthign /mdia/disk/smthing | 12:39 |
| moon_g | someone told me to put the line in the first line in the menu.lst | 12:39 |
| ludal-live | no, with gui | 12:39 |
| ludal-live | I'll try | 12:39 |
| sarmisak | just popup a terminal | 12:40 |
| moon_g | yup, im trying to make it as simple as possible | 12:40 |
| sarmisak | it's usually the access restrictions | 12:40 |
| moon_g | how do i make it use gfxboot | 12:40 |
| sarmisak | the fastest way is sudo mkdir /media/disk/dir_name | 12:40 |
| sarmisak | and then sudo chmod 0777 /media/disk/dir_name | 12:40 |
| sarmisak | then you can r/w from the gui much easier | 12:41 |
| Squee | moon_g: i think you just put that line in the /boot/grub/menu.lst. It also might be a command - i'm not sure | 12:41 |
| zoobox | balbir, this chatroom is scolling way to fast with all people going in and out.... have you find any soloution? | 12:41 |
| Squee | moon_g: yea just put it as the first line | 12:41 |
| balbir | zoobox: not yet :( | 12:42 |
| ludal-live | I get the cp: omission du répertoire `/media/disk-2/ludo/Desktop/sauvegardeSTOREX/spectacles/' error | 12:42 |
| moon_g | without "#" | 12:42 |
| moon_g | ? | 12:42 |
| ludal-live | I'm french :) | 12:42 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. was this a vfat or ntfs filesystem? I dident think one can chmod those. | 12:42 |
| Squee | moon_g: # is a comment, so it shouln't matter if it is there | 12:42 |
| moon_g | oh ok, thanks a lot | 12:42 |
| sarmisak | ludal-live: sorry my french is not that good :) | 12:43 |
| ygorabreu | Hello guys....anyone know how to make nice pdf documents on gutsy using openoffice ? and a good software to do traductions ? | 12:43 |
| moon_g | i'm kinda want to have grub menu just like suse :) | 12:43 |
| Squee | moon_g: no problem, but just so you know I stopped using that package because my grub would occasionally just lock up (never happend before I installed that) | 12:43 |
| sarmisak | ludal-live: can you read from the source? | 12:43 |
| sarmisak | ygorabreu: just type it, push the pdf button on the toolbar? | 12:44 |
| moon_g | oh ok, just wondering why it's been implemented suse for sometime now and it's missing in ubuntu | 12:44 |
| zoobox | balbir: since you have installed the proparitary ATI-driver, compiz should just work in ubuntu 7.10 byt just checking Extra in the visual Effects, without need to install anything | 12:44 |
| Squee | ygorabreu: file->export to pdf from any Openoffice program | 12:44 |
| ygorabreu | simple as that ? for sure? =P | 12:44 |
| Squee | ygorabreu: yes | 12:44 |
| fevel | whats a good substitute for itunes? One that would work with my ipodtouch and I could see podcasts from? does one exist? | 12:44 |

| ygorabreu | sarmisak_: and to edit and stuff..i still need to use the openoffice right? | 12:45 |
| sarmisak | fevel: i couldn't get used to it :) | 12:46 |
| Cooltiger | hello | 12:46 |
| Squee | sarmisak: you could try songbird | 12:46 |
| fevel | sarmisak, is ubuntu the only distro you use?? | 12:46 |
| ygorabreu | thx guys..and ... u guys know a nice soft to do translations? | 12:46 |
| sarmisak | ygorabreu: you can't edit pdf's directly, you can type and export as much as you want from the original document | 12:46 |
| zoom | zoobox>>> no with my card with proparitary driver compiz don t work for example: ati mobility radeon 9700 | 12:46 |

| iratiku | I know you guys are all busy answering questions and I appreciate your help .... but I'm trying to setup a quick image server.... can't figure out how to start partimaged... i see there is a package partimage (gutsy btw...) but i've got that installed and ps ax | grep partimaged shows up nothing and there is no entry in /etc/init.d | 12:51 |

| Pici | !hardy | ctp | 12:52 |

| juice_ | erUSUL: u run nvidia card? | 12:53 |

| Truman | hallo | 12:54 |
| sarmisak | erUSUL: i installed it after googling | 12:54 |
| erUSUL | sarmisak: works fine in gutsy (feisty and older was much trickier) | 12:54 |
| sarmisak | erUSUL: but it wasn't click and install | 12:54 |
| erUSUL | juice_: yes i do a 7300GT | 12:54 |
| sarmisak | juice_: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 12:54 |
| Dr_willis | I just grabbed the deb off the 2nd factoid the bot mentions in !flash and that gets flash going for me. But I hear its still broke in konqueror. | 12:54 |

| erUSUL | juice_: system>Admin>restricted manager and enable the nvidia driver | 12:55 |
| Truman | hallo | 12:55 |
| juice_ | erUSUL: i had no drivers to begin with so restricted driver manager will not open ne ways ;) | 12:55 |
| Jay955 | morning all | 12:56 |

| darkhelfer | how i can change my resolution to 1280 ? its only 800x600 avaible | 12:56 |
| sarmisak | darkhelfer: nvidia? ati? | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | During the install the nvidia cards should get set to use the 'nv' drivers - that should provide at least a useable desktop :) untill you can install the other drivers. | 12:57 |
| erUSUL | juice_: but when you but you do not land in safe graphics mode? | 12:57 |
| darkhelfer | nvidia | 12:57 |
| juice_ | erUSUL: but i just did the apt-get and DL fom nvidia and neither work | 12:57 |
| sarmisak | darkhelfer: try installing the drivers | 12:57 |
| juice_ | erUSUL: syntax??? | 12:57 |
| erUSUL | juice_: is 8800gt? | 12:57 |
| juice_ | erUSUL: yes | 12:57 |
| sarmisak | darkhelfer: popup a terminal, type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 12:57 |
| Dr_willis | darkhelfer, i have to install the nvidia drivers for my res/monitors to get used properly at their proper res. | 12:57 |
| darkhelfer | have installed the restricted drivers | 12:57 |
| === sal_ is now known as justafish | ||
| Dr_willis | after installing them restart the X server. | 12:58 |
| sarmisak | darkhelfer: then try the change resolution thing in system > preferences | 12:58 |
| juice_ | erUSUL: maybe my card dont like me? | 12:58 |
| sarmisak | juice_: i didn't know that cards had options of liking/disliking ;) | 12:58 |
| darkhelfer | there it only 800x600 and 640x480 | 12:59 |
| thomasthomas | hi | 12:59 |
| juice_ | sarmisak: there is a switch on the back like the crusty clown dolls in simpsons | 12:59 |

| Dr_willis | Guess im lucky my 8800 card works great with the repo drivers. | 12:59 |
| filthpig | I get terrible sound when playing mp3s in rockbox. They sound just fine with totem | 12:59 |
| juice_ | erUSUL: i have desktop and all but i cant enable custom animation and the like | 12:59 |
| erUSUL | Dr_willis: i was under the impression that 8800 needed nvidia.com drivers (169.09) | 13:00 |
| Jay955 | i just setup Ubuntu, i'm sharing a folder but i can't get to it from the windows side what i'm i missing | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | erUSUL, i got an 8800 gts here. and just use the ones the restricted-manager gives me. | 13:00 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: are you sharing with samba? | 13:00 |
| erUSUL | Dr_willis: good to know | 13:00 |
| Jay955 | yes i am | 13:00 |
| Dr_willis | erUSUL, only issue i have is with twinview and Gnome/KDE sort of getting my 2 monitors switched. :) KDM shows up on the one to the side. | 13:00 |
| darkhelfer | sarmisak: can i use "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new" with the Nvidia TNT2 ? think i only can use legacy | 13:01 |
| Jay955 | when on the windows side it's asking me for user and password | 13:01 |
| sarmisak | darkhelfer: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx then ;) | 13:01 |
| juice_ | dr_willis: u 7.10 amd64? | 13:01 |
| darkhelfer | thx | 13:01 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf | 13:01 |
| Dr_willis | juice_, i dont use 64bit disrtos. I got no need to use 64bit. | 13:01 |
| erUSUL | juice_: dunno what it is wrong wth your setup... my card works well with both the packaged drivers and with the nvidia.com ones (what i currently use) | 13:02 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: find the line that says security = user | 13:02 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: uncomment it and change it to security=share | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | I wonder if thers not some bios/card issues going on with the drivers in some cases. | 13:02 |
| erUSUL | juice_: but it is and older model 7300GT | 13:02 |
| juice_ | dr_willis: y not 64? | 13:02 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 13:02 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: that should do it | 13:02 |
| Dr_willis | juice_, why 64? I gain nothing.. and theres quirks to watch out for. | 13:02 |
| Jay955 | thanks i will try brb | 13:02 |
| juice_ | ic | 13:03 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: beware, this is not secure. | 13:03 |
| juice_ | alright im out to reformat. peace ya'll | 13:03 |
| sarmisak | Jay955: if you want security you must create smb users etc, google it | 13:03 |
| Dr_willis | !samba | Jay955 | 13:03 |

| Jay955 | thank | 13:03 |
| darkhelfer | and now restart X-Server ? how i can make this in the terminal or need restart complete ? | 13:03 |
| erUSUL | darkhelfer: crtl+alt+backspace | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | darkhelfer, hit alt-ctrl-backspace will FORCE it to restart right now. :) be sure to save yoru stuff first.. | 13:04 |
| erUSUL | darkhelfer: or 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart' | 13:04 |
| darkhelfer | or sudo reboot ? :D | 13:04 |
| Dr_willis | rebooting is NOT the same as restarting the X server | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | :) its more drastic | 13:05 |
| idefix_ | why on earth did I ever upgrade my linux? | 13:05 |
| Dr_willis | idefix_, you wanted the wiggly windows? | 13:05 |
| SleepingSloth | idefix_, was the grass greener? | 13:05 |
| SleepingSloth | Dr_willis, hahah | 13:05 |
| SleepingSloth | Dr_willis, wobbly windows are lame | 13:06 |

| SleepingSloth | Dr_willis, lol. you should lower the friction setting, or whatever it is, and see what heppens!! | 13:07 |
| henry | good night | 13:07 |
| sarmisak | SleepingSloth: ahahah it's cool when the friction changes :D | 13:08 |

| _marianne_ | hey, i'm having an issue with video playback on an ubuntu derivative, i'm not sure if it's different enough from main ubuntu to matter, buuuut... i thought asking here was worth a go! half the time when i open video files, on any player that i've tried (vlc, mplayer, xine, even embedded ones in firefox), the image won't appear, it's just a garbled mess, a screenshot of which is here - http://xmoogle.org/images/vidproblem.jpg - sometimes | 13:09 |
| _marianne_ | i can make the problem go away by closing random programs, sometimes i can't, it's really quite annoying.... any ideas? | 13:10 |
| doctorow | I'm in the middle of using Distribution Upgrade to take a machine from Feisty to Gutsy. It's been running fine for > 1h, but it seems to be hung on "Configuring xserver-xorg" -- it's been doing this for the past 5+ minutes with no visible progress. Is there a way to find out if this is hung? Will Distribution Update eventually skip to the next bit? | 13:10 |

| StrangeCharm_ | i'm having trouble hibernating on a fujitsu-siemens lifebook p7230. on the hcl, it's listed as working ok. i'm using the intel experimental modsetting graphics driver. i have more swap space than i have ram; i even have more empty swap space than i have ram. i see the hibernate icon in power options dialogue. however, when i click on it, i get a black screen with a blinking cursor in the top left, and this persists for as long as i leave the compu | 13:13 |
| StrangeCharm_ | ter running. when i force a power-off, and turn it back on, i just get a normal startup. any ideas? | 13:13 |

| doctorow | I'm in the middle of using Distribution Upgrade to take a machine from Feisty to Gutsy. It's been running fine for > 1h, but it seems to be hung on "Configuring xserver-xorg" -- it's been doing this for the past 5+ minutes with no visible progress. Is there a way to find out if this is hung? Will Distribution Update eventually skip to the next bit? | 13:15 |

| dbmoodb | ok cool | 13:24 |
| dbmoodb | but i have in the past had nvidia problems and just wondered what would happen... | 13:24 |

| swuboo | dbmoodb: Hm. Don't know. I'd suggest using the nvidia rather than nv driver, though. | 13:25 |

| srujan | can anyone help? | 13:27 |
| dbmoodb | k sure just reboot and change a few things in the grub boot options | 13:27 |
| swuboo | srujan: Lost them in what sense? Does sudo work? | 13:27 |

| sarmisak | dbmoodb: god, no | 13:28 |
| sarmisak | dbmoodb: you are right | 13:28 |
| dbmoodb | just change the grub boot options | 13:28 |
| dbmoodb | tis easyt | 13:28 |
| srujan | sarmisak: nay help? | 13:29 |
| jrib | srujan: you need to reboot and choose "recovery mode" from the grub menu. Then execute, without the quotes, 'adduse YOUR_USER_NAME', where YOUR_USER_NAME is your actual user name. After that, reboot and use the GUI (System -> Adiministration -> Users and Groups) to add yourself to your other missing groups. | 13:30 |
| jrib | srujan: ack, I made a typo. The command should be: adduser YOUR_USER_NAME | 13:30 |
| jrib | srujan: ack, I made a typo. The command should be: adduser YOUR_USER_NAME admin | 13:31 |
| jrib | too early I guess... | 13:31 |
| srujan | :jrib actually i dont see any recovery mood whnile booting | 13:31 |
| srujan | there are some 5 options | 13:31 |
| jrib | srujan: one should say "recovery mode". What 5 do you see? | 13:31 |
| srujan | one is root next kernel and other kernel with some code | 13:32 |
| srujan | next is quiet | 13:32 |
| srujan | and last is | 13:32 |
| srujan | i dont exactly remember | 13:32 |
| dbmoodb | eh ubuntu recovery mode from grub has no root password question ? | 13:32 |
| oli | how should i name end of file name (ex. .jpg) in english? :> | 13:32 |
| dbmoodb | jpeg ? | 13:32 |
| jrib | srujan: reboot and check. It should be there unless you have removed it | 13:32 |
| srujan | i also have vista installed | 13:33 |
| jrib | oli: it's referred to as the file's "extension" if that is what you mean | 13:33 |
| srujan | so what it displays is ubuntu and next option is vista | 13:33 |
| pdowling | should Wubi detect this iso ubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64.iso and install it, instead of ripping off the net again? | 13:33 |
| jrib | srujan: k, come back if it's not there | 13:33 |
| srujan | ok fine | 13:33 |
| oli | jrib: thats what i wanted to know, thanx | 13:33 |
| srujan | I should check for wht?? | 13:33 |
| jrib | srujan: a line that says "recovery mode" somewhere | 13:34 |
| srujan | is der any command for that to write in grub? | 13:34 |
| jrib | srujan: and then run the 'adduser YOUR_USER_NAME admin' command | 13:34 |
| srujan | ok | 13:34 |
| srujan | :jrib is der any command for booting in recovery mode? | 13:35 |
| jrib | srujan: you don't need one. It is listed by default | 13:35 |
| srujan | jrib: ok what will be displayed after the recovery booting? a direct command line ar anything else/ | 13:36 |
| ritalin | y0 | 13:37 |
| ritalin | ubuntu pretty good for laptops? | 13:37 |
| riotkittie | srujan: you'll be given a command line | 13:37 |
| techgeek40 | Good Morning, all | 13:37 |
| jrib | srujan: mine is displayed as: Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic (recovery mode). You just select that and hit enter. Then you get a command prompt. You enter 'adduser YOUR_USER_NAME admin', where YOUR_USER_NAME is your actual username. Then reboot | 13:37 |
| riotkittie | ritalin: i'd say it depends on your laptop. | 13:37 |
| riotkittie | ritalin: i've had no probs with it on mine, tho | 13:37 |

| sheen | Hello all, I have issues installing my new nvidia gf8000 GTS G92 (latest chipset), it appears only known by latest nvidia drivers. I've installed them then I've launch X and I've seen a nvidia logo ! But gnome does not load so I've restart ubuntu and now I'm in vesa mode =( somebody could help me please ? | 13:40 |
| techgeek40 | daniel92: I am not worried about DirectX working - that I have Vista for (grin) just worried about the card. I'm chaning out my vid card this weekend. I had ONE hell'va time getting it configured under Ubuntu | 13:40 |
| dbmoodb | is cpu frequency installed by default in gutsy ? | 13:40 |
| techgeek40 | Sheen: Where did you get the drivers? | 13:40 |
| simion314 | hi, in nautilus places panel i have a shortcut for floppy 1 but i do not have a flopy and i want to remove it from there, i can't do that with right click | 13:40 |
| dbmoodb | - i think i saw it last time i installed | 13:40 |
| sheen | techgeek40, nvidia.com | 13:40 |
| baby_imutz | koko | 13:40 |
| daniel92 | techgeek40: what is the problem then? | 13:40 |
| sheen | techgeek40, because nvidia-glx-new does not work , driver's aren't enough recent | 13:41 |

| techgeek40 | Sheen: did you edit your xorg.conf and take out the vesa under "device"? | 13:41 |
| Na-Fiann | Hey, does anyone know how i can run a specific program in a different language without changing the language of the entire install? | 13:42 |
| daniel92 | techgeek40: afaik, they work just as well as any other card. actually, i'm pretty sure the vid card in my laptop i;m using right now (ati mobility radeon 2300 =[) is some form of pci x16 | 13:42 |
| sarmisak | i'm using a 7500gt, no problems | 13:42 |
| sheen | techgeek40, no I was thinking that xconfig done it (it appears done it one time because i've seen the nvidia logo) | 13:42 |
| sarmisak | on my nb i have nvidia mobility, no problem on that also | 13:42 |
| daniel92 | brb all | 13:43 |
| techgeek40 | Sheen: there is a walkthrough for that - let me get you the link - make sure you follow it. It will go through the specifics for you | 13:43 |

| techgeek40 | Sheen: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_169.09.html still - make sure you read the readme. I had to - even though the install did just fine - I actually ended up having to install the driver via a safe mode terminal --- did you turn off X when you did the installation? | 13:48 |
| SleepingSloth | MindSpark, isn't it libapache2-mod-perl2 ? | 13:48 |
| IdleOne | sarmisak I do have a NIC card that works in my older pc . think I can swap them out without major issues on the driver side of things? | 13:48 |

| juice_ | ty | 13:50 |
| techgeek40 | Sheen: read the readme - and additonal links - then at the terminal window do /etc/init.d/gdm stop that will stop the process - then do the terminal install - the new Nvidia drivers will have a gui for that and it will walk you through the installatoin | 13:50 |

| Na-Fiann | anyone know why? | 13:51 |
| techgeek40 | Sheen: reboot and do the safe mode start up - hit ALT+F2 - type your user name and password: then do the sudo su - for root - then the /etc/init.d/gdm stop - then cd to where the drivers are and follow the readme directions from there - they should install just fine from that point on | 13:51 |

I think - during the installation - I actually deleted my partition (the free space one) along with the swap area - re-did them with the Live CD - first creating the saw - then the second partition using just the etc and the mount of / that was it - | 14:02 |
| Pici | Na-Fiann: You'll need to make a file, put the commands that you mentioned above in that file. | 14:02 |
| Na-Fiann | pici: in the terminal, LANGUAGE=nl_NL:nl LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 gramps works fine, but when run as a menu item, it gives the error "cannot create child process" | 14:02 |
| Na-Fiann | ahh | 14:02 |
| techgeek40 | saw = swap | 14:02 |
| techgeek40 | <---fingers haven't had their coffee yet | 14:02 |
| Na-Fiann | so, does it need to be a bash file or something? | 14:02 |
| SleepingSloth | juice_, I cant find the howto right now - but i am sure you need to change your /etc/X11/xorg.conf device driver from 'nv' to 'nvidia' | 14:02 |
| Pici | Na-Fiann: The menu cannot run multiple commands like that, but if you put them in a script, it can run the script. | 14:02 |
| Pici | Na-Fiann: Exactly. | 14:02 |
| erUSUL | PriitM: humm you espected to end up with folderB/folderA/ tree or you wanted all the files of folderA/ end up in folderB/ ?? i think you should reort it as a bug in nautilus with a detailed description (including logs etc) | 14:03 |
| techgeek40 | drhumanist: did you create the swap partition as well in vista or did you do the partition setup in live cd mode? | 14:03 |
| Na-Fiann | great, thanks very much:) | 14:03 |

| SleepingSloth | juice_, at least, i did. but then i didnt touch the restricted drivers manager when i installed my drivers. | 14:03 |
| Na-Fiann | and again sorry for nagging | 14:03 |
| drhumanist | techgeek40 - i tried that before but Ubuntu Installer could not manage to create the partitions! so I HAD TO use vista to partition | 14:03 |
| mads- | Hi. When I turn on my computer is just says "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB..... " on the screen... And it just keeps going. How do I fix this? :S | 14:03 |
| daninad | hey it's daniel | 14:03 |
| daninad | how's egypt dude | 14:03 |
| SleepingSloth | juice_, when you run glxgears, what framerate are you getting? | 14:03 |
| daninad | it's cool | 14:03 |
| juice_ | sleepingsloth: so the prob is with the xorg.conf? | 14:03 |
| swuboo | Pici, Na-Fiann: Wow. That's good to know. I may make use of that myself. | 14:03 |
| daninad | why are they mass murdering the local australian population? | 14:03 |

| daninad | because they want to do it all over the world! | 14:04 |
| daninad | that's all | 14:04 |
| techgeek40 | drhumanist: when you created your mount point did you use anything other than just the forward slash / or did you do like /media/??? | 14:04 |
| juice_ | sleepingsloth: where does it say the framerate? | 14:04 |
| PriitM | erUSUL, I wanted it to end up as /folderB/folderA/ but I ended up having /folderB/folderA/ with completely deleted files, some files in .trash and semi-empty folders | 14:04 |
| SleepingSloth | juice_, run it from a terminal, it should give you the framerate every 5 seconds | 14:04 |
| drhumanist | techgeek - no no "/" for root and swap for swap.... I installed Ubuntu before onto other systems so i know the way | 14:04 |
| erUSUL | PriitM: that's pretty scare :( it is local filesystem? etx3? if true is a critical bug | 14:05 |
| BlackRece | ubuntu couldn't do partitions?!?!? that sounds like a bug to me or vista is locking the drive!!! summut wrong there drhumanist!!! | 14:05 |
| mads- | Hi. When I turn on my computer is just says "GRUB GRUB GRUB GRUB..... " on the screen... And it just keeps going. How do I fix this? :S | 14:05 |
| juice_ | sleepingsloth: oic, anywhere around 200fps | 14:05 |
| PriitM | erUSUL, yes it's on local system. I'll report it. | 14:05 |
| drhumanist | BlackRece - yeah i found that strange too! | 14:05 |
| juice_ | sleepingsloth: looks horrible | 14:06 |
| BlackRece | mads: reinstall grub or use livecd to fix grub using sudo gedit .... i've foggoten which file u actually need to edit!! sry but that is part of the solution!! DO NOT TRY UNTIL U HAVE THE COMPLETE SOLUTION!! | 14:06 |
| erUSUL | mads-: does it ever worked fine or is a fresh install? maybe reinstalling grub helps? | 14:06 |
| Jupp2 | how do I list the contents of a .deb file? | 14:07 |
| techgeek40 | BlackRece: Vista can't lock the drive like that - but it is possible if another boot loader is being used that it does lock the partition --- I ran into that with BDC | 14:07 |
| sheen | techgeek40, Yahaaaaaaaaaaa : direct rendering: Yes / server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation !!!!! 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz ! Thanks a lot !!! | 14:07 |
| erUSUL | Jupp2: dpkg -L package | 14:07 |
| SleepingSloth | juice_, okay, so you don't have acceleration at the moment. well - i dont know if there is a more enlightened way of sorting this, but like i said, i changed my xorg.conf... | 14:07 |
| Jupp2 | erUSUL, Thanks! | 14:07 |
| jrib | Jupp2: man dpkg should say | 14:07 |
| techgeek40 | Sheen: My pleasure - congrats on it working | 14:07 |
| luisdaniel | hi | 14:07 |
| juice_ | anyone know how to change my xorg.conf to nvidia? | 14:08 |
| drhumanist | techgeek40 - I installed Ubuntu over Vista before... I cannot what is different now | 14:08 |
| jrib | Jupp2: dpkg-deb more specifically | 14:08 |
| drhumanist | I cannot see what's different now | 14:08 |
| BlackRece | sleepingsloth: i don't get a fps reading when running glxgears | 14:08 |
| juice_ | sleepingsloth: thanks for narrowing my search :) | 14:08 |
| luisdaniel | anyone help to know why the ubuntu freeze? | 14:08 |
| sheen | techgeek40, perfect, thanks again ^^ I'm so happy | 14:08 |
| techgeek40 | drhumanist: not sure - i've got XP - VISTA and Ubuntu on this computer - plus Virtual machines running xp and vista - no problems with it | 14:08 |
| tinman | luisdaniel: be more specific? | 14:08 |
| dgjones | BlackRece, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 14:08 |
| techgeek40 | Sheen: Enjoy it, :> | 14:08 |
| jrib | !nvidia > juice_ (read the private message from ubotu) | 14:08 |
| BlackRece | daninad: political reason not for public reading! lol | 14:08 |
| luisdaniel | tinman: randomly the ubuntu freeze, maybe somthing like kernel panic | 14:09 |
| SleepingSloth | juice_, in which case, you want to run sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:09 |
| drhumanist | so what should i try?? | 14:09 |
| tylerwp | Help :( I was able to get 7.10 Desktop working on my DELL server but cannot get the 7.10 Server to fully work. Any way to copy working drivers from the Desktop edition? | 14:09 |
| techgeek40 | But, I just realized - it's late and I"ll be late for work - so I gotta get - lo.l my boss won't like me late | 14:09 |
| luisdaniel | and I went to know why it freezes | 14:09 |
| swuboo | BlackRece: There's a way to get a framerate on glxgears. I think it's something like glxgears --iunderstandthatthisisnotabenchmark or something like that. | 14:09 |
| techgeek40 | Drhumanist: i would blow out the partition with the live CD and recreate - with just the et3 mount only / and see what happens | 14:09 |
| tinman | luisdaniel: Did you compile the kernel yourself? | 14:09 |
| luisdaniel | no | 14:10 |
| brobostigon | !compile | tinman | 14:10 |
| ubotu | tinman: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 14:10 |
| dgjones | BlackRece, you might have to use the command "glxgears -printfps" to get the frame rate | 14:10 |
| luisdaniel | this start after I make upgrade to 7.10 | 14:10 |
| SleepingSloth | BlackRece, presumably there is a switch for versions that do not display by default? | 14:10 |
| drhumanist | ok i will try that once more..... but it cannot manage partitioning..... | 14:10 |
| jaggz- | why's dpkg -l '*bind*' not list EVERY bind package? | 14:10 |
| techgeek40 | have a good one all - --- good luck drhumanist | 14:10 |
| swuboo | Ah, found it. It's glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark | 14:10 |
| SleepingSloth | luisdaniel, beat me to it | 14:10 |
| techgeek40 | drhumanist | 14:10 |
| techgeek40 | one thing | 14:10 |
| drhumanist | yep? | 14:10 |
| tinman | brobostigon: trying to help luisdaniel :> | 14:10 |
| techgeek40 | In bios - make sure that you don't have the virus protection turned on - that does lock the boot partition | 14:11 |
| juice_ | sleepingsloth: so i can edit through this and save? | 14:11 |
| drhumanist | aaah that may be why!! | 14:11 |
| brobostigon | tinman: sorry, wrong thing | 14:11 |
| techgeek40 | good luck | 14:11 |
| jaggz- | Why does dpkg's list not work as I expect it to? :) dpkg -l '*bind*' does not list EVERY bind package -- instead, it lists several (bind, bind9, libbind..) but it misses "bindgraph", for instance | 14:11 |
| techgeek40 | have a good one all | 14:11 |
| tinman | no worries | 14:11 |
| drhumanist | ok thanx | 14:11 |
| drhumanist | bbs :) | 14:11 |
| SleepingSloth | juice_, yes - you need to change the driver from the 'device' section which applies to your gfx card from 'nv' to 'nvidia', save and restart X. however... SAVE A BACKUP FIRST | 14:11 |
| BlackRece | tecjgeek40: I was close enuf! lol i've had dual booting issues when grub got wiped cos of MS re-wrote mbr and I had 2 re-install GRUB. I know its da bootloader that does the actual locking shame I can't remember how to sort it!! | 14:12 |

| maccabee | hello can anyone help me with realtime linux in ubuntu | 14:12 |
| jrib | jaggz-: short answer: use apt-cache search -n. Longer answer, it only lists stuff that has been installed at some point I believe | 14:12 |

| LjL | filthpig: eh? how can you duplicate a *format*? | 14:46 |
| drunkmuppet | It is setup, however i'm at work, where computers need to be registered first. And it thinks my vmware is a new computer. | 14:46 |

| RichW | STM: Thats a windows problem not linux. | 15:04 |

| [nrx] | so reboot with no xorg.conf? | 15:54 |
| LiMaO | [nrx] ➡ then whenever you can just run 'sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg' | 15:55 |

| LiENUS | brobostigon, so supported means no updates? | 16:00 |
| dowgaia | When I lock the screen on my laptop, ubuntu will instead fully log me out. How can I prevent this from happening? | 16:01 |
| LiENUS | i would think supported till 2011 means theyl'l have security fixes till... dun dun dun | 16:01 |
| LiENUS | 2011 | 16:01 |
| Pici | LiENUS: That is what it means. | 16:01 |
| brobostigon | lienus: for example, the only ubuntu release to have pidgin is 7.10, you cat get it for any earlier release | 16:01 |
| LiENUS | brobostigon, i dont think il'l be running pidgin on my vpn server | 16:01 |
| Pici | LiENUS: But security updates != version updates | 16:01 |
| brobostigon | cant | 16:01 |
| _Drax | How come when I forced my eth0 to use 100/FD it gives me alot of errors, before that it was autp and got 10/Half and had alot of collisions.. | 16:02 |
| brobostigon | lienus: i just used pidgin as a generalised example. | 16:02 |

| chung | i want to know why everytime i shut down it says fail to shut down? | 16:04 |
| LiENUS | i said i wont need it | 16:04 |
| LiENUS | Pici, supported till 2011 means security updates till 2011 right? | 16:04 |
| Pici | LiENUS: Yes, but only security upgrades, not version upgrades, not feature upgrades. | 16:04 |
| brobostigon | lienus: 7.10 is very usefull to me, i find it the best running ubuntu version on my ibook, in comparison to earlier releases | 16:04 |
| LiENUS | Pici, so how can you say i am confused about ubuntu support? | 16:05 |
| chung | hello anyone there?... i need help | 16:05 |

| DRebellion | ubuntunut: starting point is system -> adminstration -> services . | 16:25 |
| h4L1m | neverblue, thx | 16:25 |
| evil_tech | has anyone else had compiz break after installing 8.443 ATI driver? | 16:26 |
| michael | chung, not sure about shooting games as im more into the board games. you might check out http://sathyasays.com/2008/01/12/25-top-3d-linux-games/ | 16:26 |
| giandrea | My intel wireless adapter doesn't show up in ifconfig, the drivers are loaded and it is detected, how do I make it to show up in ifconfig?? | 16:26 |
| ubuntunut | DRebellion: I was hoping for a more verbose output of what these services are so I don't just turn off services willy-nilly and bork my system | 16:26 |
| thannoy | kyle__: try "pkill -9 xine", more brutal | 16:26 |
| evil_tech | ifconfig -a | 16:27 |
| bullgard4 | What programming language requires to surround identifiers by the quotes `'? | 16:27 |
| giandrea | evil_tech: only eth0 and lo | 16:27 |
| ejer | ubuntunut: the services are there for a reason mostly :) have you look at xubuntu? You can of course google the service name to see what it is | 16:27 |
| NET||abuse | neverblue, system info "lspci" output http://www.pastebin.org/17599,,, what else should i put up? | 16:27 |
| kyle__ | hmm still nothing i guess ill have to reboot :( | 16:28 |
| DRebellion | ubuntunut: yeah, as ejer said, pretty much all of the processes on your linux box are there for a good reason. | 16:28 |
| ejer | obvious ones to disable are printing, bluetooth | 16:28 |
| NET||abuse | neverblue, also my xorg.conf http://www.pastebin.org/17600 | 16:28 |
| thannoy | kyle__: or if xine has a visible window; you could try comand "xkill" and then click on xine window; but if pkill fail... | 16:28 |
| ejer | unless u will need 'em ;) | 16:28 |
| live_or_dead | Current speed download: 0 KB/s upload 0 KB/s | 16:29 |
| ubuntunut | ejer DRebellion: Alright. I was just curious as my battery life seems to plummet (2.5 hrs) compared to under a microsoft environment (4.0 hrs+) | 16:29 |
| kyle__ | no visible windows :( | 16:29 |
| chung | any shooting games for ubuntu? | 16:29 |
| CroX | What format do I want for playing my DVD's in ordinary players? DVD-R or DVD+R? I never can seem to remember. | 16:29 |
| ejer | ubuntunut: more likely related to hard drive downspin, screen brightness, wifi active, etc | 16:29 |
| chung | can i play warrock on ubuntu?... its a pc game | 16:29 |
| rsk | CroX: dosen't matter | 16:29 |
| ubuntunut | chung: All of the Unreal Tournaments will run. Quake games will run (look at quake wars) | 16:29 |
| thannoy | kyle__: So I have no other ideas to kill it, sorry | 16:30 |
| DRebellion | CroX: probably, dvd-r is what you wwant for maximum compatibility | 16:30 |
| kyle__ | chung try warsow it's awesome :) | 16:30 |
| CroX | DRebellion: Thanks. | 16:30 |
| kyle__ | ahh s'ok cheers for trying to help though :) | 16:30 |
| ejer | chung: you can search here for windows games that work http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 16:30 |
| chung | ok kyle | 16:30 |
| ubuntunut | ejer: Yeah the wifi probably drains it. Could it just be that ubuntu uses the wifi differently? I mean, I use wifi in windows as well. | 16:30 |
| ubuntunut | ejer: Ad the harddrive downspin I'm not entirely sure how to control. | 16:30 |
| ubuntunut | and* | 16:30 |
| ejer | it is about optimizing these power drains, so look at power control settings | 16:30 |
| tokok | ubuntunut: wrong, quake wars will not run, it will hang at "load ui" message | 16:31 |
| evil_tech | ok does anyone know how to get rid of the ati driver and go back to the regular ubuntu one | 16:31 |
| ubuntunut | tokok: Didn't they make a linux client for that game? | 16:31 |
| ejer | ubuntunut: http://klamstwo.org/evad/archives/34 looks decent to start with | 16:31 |
| ubuntunut | ejer: I'll give it a look | 16:32 |
| ejer | evil_tech: gksudo restricted-manager | 16:32 |
| ejer | should do it | 16:32 |
| balbir | I need to organize the work.. can someone suggest good calander application in gnome | 16:32 |
| balbir | I don't want to use evolution for it | 16:32 |
| evil_tech | will that get rid of the binary driver i installed? | 16:32 |
| cowsftw | halp | 16:32 |
| ejer | evolution, thunderbird+lightning extension | 16:33 |
| ejer | balbir: thunderbird + lightning syncs with google cal | 16:33 |
| Wogroipl | do I have to edit menu.lst for Grub after I added a hdd? | 16:33 |
| cowsftw | I'm on a new machine, core 2 duo, with an integrated intel chipset, and I'm stuck on 640x480. | 16:33 |
| cowsftw | Someone help me get to 1024x768? | 16:33 |
| Lunar_Lamp | When does Edgy lose official support? | 16:33 |
| SuperQ | Lunar_Lamp: +18mo | 16:33 |
| SuperQ | I think | 16:34 |
| ejer | Wogroipl: not unless you are booting from it | 16:34 |
| Lunar_Lamp | 18months from now or from release? | 16:34 |
| evil_tech | cowsftw: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 16:34 |
| SuperQ | Lunar_Lamp: from release | 16:34 |
| balbir | ejer: i need some handy tool.. something like note pase with a visual alarm will work for me | 16:34 |
| DanglyBits | I have installed wordpress in Gutsy are there some docs to splain where the directories are and what I do next? | 16:34 |
| SuperQ | Lunar_Lamp: likely when 8.04 is out | 16:34 |
| ejer | balbir: maybe look at kalarm | 16:34 |
| BlackRece | right, does anyone have an updated version of http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-10131.html (ubuntu 7.10 as a gateway) | 16:35 |
| BlackRece | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54228/ this is my output from ifconfig and iptables | 16:36 |
| ibou | should i chose ABR, CBR, VBR or VBR-NEW for the highest compression quality with lame (mp3) ? | 16:36 |
| chung | i want to play warrock on ubuntu, is it compatible? | 16:36 |
| ejer | vbr-new ibou | 16:36 |
| ejer | but it is a personal choice really | 16:36 |
| NET||abuse | So can anyone help me solve my crashing X session? Xorg.1.log, lspci output and /etc/X11/xorg.conf http://www.pastebin.org/17601 | 16:36 |
| jmauzey | i have a question about customized system menus, i have already set the system menu but root seems to be inheriting from it | 16:37 |
| ibou | ok thanks ejer | 16:37 |
| ejer | NET||abuse: huh? you have intel but it is crashing trying to load radeon | 16:37 |
| jmauzey | the real problem comes from users having this under system admin that i dont want them to have and when i remove it it gets removed from root as well | 16:37 |
| Juan | hey, i have an athlon x2 4400+ and /proc/cpuinfo doesnt show the sse3 flag even though it has it, why might this be? | 16:38 |
| ejer | NET||abuse: did you add this? > " Option "UseFBDev" "true"" | 16:38 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, emmm, maybe | 16:39 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, it's been some time since i was adjusting the xorg.conf | 16:39 |
| ejer | try taking that out | 16:39 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, ok,, i'll try that. | 16:39 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, thanks for looking at it. | 16:39 |
| ejer | sok | 16:39 |
| ejer | looks ok other than that but I would try using ubuntu's screen rez editor | 16:40 |
| cheval | ciao a tutti | 16:40 |
| tokok | Juan: 4400+ dosent support sse3, if its 939 socket... and it dosent show for my core 2 too, shows ssse3 instead... and cpuinfo display wrong speed for my cpu | 16:40 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, that acutally could be where that came from, the screen rez editor,, i was trying to setup an lcd screen attached to the laptops vga output before | 16:40 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, didn't get the best results | 16:41 |
| ejer | it does a good job IMO, but maybe not for more complex setups | 16:41 |
| ejer | tokok: it says it does here http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_13041%5E13043,00.html | 16:41 |
| ejer | oh for am2 | 16:41 |
| selki | it's a good idea to keep a backup of your xorg.conf file somewhere else :) | 16:42 |
| jmauzey | is there a way to have root not inherit a system wide variable or have something that alows root to trump the variable? | 16:42 |
| selki | how do you setup the keyboard shortcut for system monitor? | 16:42 |
| BigoxD | hi | 16:42 |
| peepsalot | is there a default gnome keyboard shortcut for displaying the desktop | 16:42 |
| ejer | jmauzey: even if it is not in list of programs you can still start it manually | 16:42 |
| ejer | peepsalot: you can set stuff in system>prefs>keyboard shortcuts | 16:43 |
| thannoy | Juan: maybe "sudo dmidecode" will give you a more accurate flag-list for your processor | 16:43 |
| Magic1 | hai guys | 16:43 |
| Magic1 | I need urgent help | 16:43 |
| ejer | The Athlon X2 processors are based on the Rev E stepping of the Athlon 64 core and include the SSE3 instructions as well as mixed memory support and support for a full four DIMM slot configuration | 16:44 |
| Magic1 | The head guy of Microsoft Israel is coming to my school and I need to know where I can buy a linux shirt in israel | 16:44 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, FBDev doesn't even appear in the man page for the intel driver | 16:44 |
| ejer | no | 16:44 |
| Magic1 | this might be the minnacle of my life | 16:44 |
| Magic1 | by which I mean will be the pinnacle of my life | 16:44 |
| NET||abuse | ejer, weird, what on earth was it doing in my xorg.conf | 16:44 |
| NET||abuse | :) | 16:44 |
| ejer | it is an xorg config | 16:45 |
| evil_tech | Magic1: print out a picture of tux and pin it to your shirt | 16:45 |
| tokok | Magic1: hahaha nice | 16:45 |
| ejer | Magic1: a firefox shirt is good too :) | 16:45 |
| Magic1 | all good suggestions | 16:45 |
| Magic1 | especially tokok's | 16:45 |
| BigoxD | hi Where I Can Download the sever? | 16:45 |
| ejer | Magic1: these may be near you, who knows? http://bdcomp.co.il/services/buylinux.html | 16:45 |
| NET||abuse | still not seeing the relevance of Radeon in the xorg.0.log.. really really weird | 16:45 |
| stf | Magic1: get one from any international linux tshirt site, if you have a credit card ;) | 16:45 |
| Magic1 | but preferably an authentic linux or ubuntu one | 16:46 |
| Magic1 | it needs to be here by sunday | 16:46 |
| ejer | NET||abuse: could be the fbdev, there is a radeon fbdev driver | 16:46 |
| Magic1 | and today is thursday | 16:46 |
| Magic1 | so internet shops are no good | 16:46 |
| tass1412 | got a problem with crypttab... it doesn't work with UUID http://paste.pocoo.org/show/24900/ | 16:46 |
| ejer | well, that one is in israel at least... | 16:46 |
| selki | peepsalot:it's not on the list. I have set up others there before | 16:47 |
| Magic1 | there's a linux shop in Israel? | 16:47 |
| ejer | Magic1: these may be near you, who knows? http://bdcomp.co.il/services/buylinux.html | 16:47 |
| ejer | .co.il ? | 16:47 |
| ejer | it is in hebrew ? :) | 16:47 |
| Magic1 | yeah | 16:47 |
| jmauzey | ejer: i know but the problem might arise in half a year or a year where i forgot it was installed, this was actually assigned by my boss to solve | 16:47 |
| selki | ejer:it's not on the list. I have set up others there before | 16:48 |
| ejer | i don't know what you mean selki | 16:48 |
| jmauzey | is there a way to associate BUM with the administrator so that non-power users dont see it? | 16:48 |
| Magic1 | beer sheva is pretty far >.< | 16:48 |
| selki | ejer:how to add a custom program to the shortcut editor | 16:48 |
| ejer | jmauzey: users would need to be in admin group to use bum IMO | 16:49 |
| ejer | selki: you should maybe look at using compiz for this | 16:49 |
| ejer | i would just uninstall bum | 16:50 |
| ejer | and do changes manually if needed | 16:50 |
| robin_ | Is it safe to run Ubuntu outside of the VirtualBox environment? I screw up my PC very much. | 16:50 |

| neverblue | nalioth, sorry ? | 16:54 |
| robin_ | jpatrick, I've often had Ubuntu be very unstable to me and crash on me lots. I really, really want to use Ubuntu, but just can't, because i keep breaking it, and i spend more time fixing it than using it. | 16:54 |
| nalioth | neverblue: they've both gone with Elvis | 16:54 |
| nalioth | (and have left the building) | 16:54 |

| jpatrick | robin_: no, I think it's too stable sometimes | 16:55 |
| ikonia | chung: open synaptic and remove them as packages | 16:55 |
| robin_ | jpatrick, I have the feeling it's really really unstable | 16:55 |
| sosus_ | chung, if you know the name, you can go into the terminal and type: "sudo apt-get remove <package-name>" | 16:55 |
| chung | ok thanks | 16:56 |
| === jorge_ is now known as selki | ||
| proudhawk | morning peeps | 16:56 |

| NET||abuse | I have one more problem with my laptop,, I use nm-applet to connect to the wifi point in the house,, but untill 2 days ago it was on WEP, nm-applet had the configuration and wep key stored, then i updated the router to WPA-AES, now the old configuration still seems to be locked into nm-applet, and i can't see how you update the setup? | 16:56 |
| peepsalot | morning proudhawk | 16:56 |
| sosus_ | Has anyone ever recieved a BadAlloc error message from luvcvideo, know what to do about it? | 16:56 |
| NET||abuse | is there a profile manager or something that i can use with nm-applet? | 16:56 |
| Arelis | jpatrick, i have the feeling it's really unstable | 16:56 |
| ikonia | sosus_ BadAlloc is normally "bad allocation" of a resource, what resource is it using ? | 16:57 |
| jpatrick | Arelis: right... | 16:57 |
| ejer | sosus_: eeepc? | 16:57 |
| selki | how would you add a custom shortcut for a custom program not in system/preferences/keyboardshortcuts? | 16:57 |
| proudhawk | heh. ok, I was saying hi to all the people in general. didn't know that a real peeps was already online :) | 16:57 |
| sosus_ | ikonia, I am not sure... how do i find out? | 16:57 |
| donald_ | NET||abuse: remove the keyring for your WEP | 16:57 |
| NET||abuse | donald_, i did | 16:57 |
| sosus_ | ejer, no, I have a dell latitude D830 | 16:57 |
| ikonia | sosus_: what sort of software is it | 16:57 |
| unop | NET||abuse, i would use grep in such a way to find out which file holds the config - egrep -inHR "wepkey|essid" $HOME/* | 16:58 |
| sosus_ | ikonia, its a video camera program, I am attempting---to no avail---to get my webcam to work | 16:58 |
| peepsalot | proudhawk, i know, just messing around :-P | 16:58 |
| donald_ | NET||abuse: then nm-applet should ask for the new key | 16:58 |
| Arelis | donald_, jpatrick: So how can i prevent me from breaking it? Make it bullet-proof? | 16:58 |
| peace | i cannot start the line.. permision denied... sudo in the beggining of the line doesnt work..thanks.. | 16:58 |
| NET||abuse | unop, the key is usually hashed no? | 16:58 |
| ikonia | sosus_: have a google around that app, | 16:58 |
| unop | donald_, it doesnt always tho - it seems to remember configs and doesnt really adapt to change | 16:58 |
| donald_ | Arelis: break what? | 16:58 |
| ejer | sosus_: try looking at cam in ekiga | 16:59 |
| proudhawk | heh. well, would you guys believe that I am running a windows OS in vmware on an Ubuntu based host system? :) | 16:59 |
| Arelis | donald_, Break Ubuntu | 16:59 |
| unop | NET||abuse, i dunno for sure, but i shoudln't think so | 16:59 |
| sosus_ | ikonia, I've tried, but unfortunately it seems like this is the program that "just works": for most people with webcams | 16:59 |
| sosus_ | ejer, I'll try it now, hold on | 16:59 |
| ikonia | sosus_: what was it called | 16:59 |
| ejer | proudhawk: uh yep :) I do it all day every day | 16:59 |
| Arelis | donald_, (heh, what a simple namechange does.) | 16:59 |
| donald_ | unop: i usually wait a while till it times out and asks for the new key | 16:59 |
| sosus_ | ikonia, luvcvideo | 16:59 |
| ikonia | sosus_: is that in the ubuntu repos ? | 16:59 |
| peace | how to start the command line with echo... sudo echo ...... but it writes permision denied.. | 16:59 |
| selki | donald: wierd that the network manager should have that bug feature fixed since gutsy and still doesn't keep my wap key | 16:59 |
| NET||abuse | unop, well, even searching for the SSID "egrep SSID ~/*" doesn't work seemingly | 17:00 |
| donald_ | Arelis: i dont know how u use Ubuntu. many ways to break it if u use sudo a lot | 17:00 |
| jpatrick | Arelis: learning how not to break it, by breaking it :) | 17:00 |
| sosus_ | ikonia, yes | 17:00 |
| ejer | sosus_: in ekiga, choose v4l2 in video prefs | 17:00 |
| unop | donald_, nm-applet's always been a headache for me -- i uninstall nm-applet | 17:00 |
| proudhawk | ejeryeah. vmware is ok. I just with kvm/qemu worked better.... I won't be able to run the latest kernel here. they have broken some things in the kernel later than 2.6.20 | 17:00 |
| ikonia | sosus_: ok | 17:00 |
| sosus_ | ejer, ok, trying now.. | 17:00 |
| Arelis | jpatrick, Well one way i broke it was using Compiz Fusion and AWN | 17:00 |
| proudhawk | with=wish | 17:00 |
| ikonia | sosus_: your on ubuntu 7.10 ? | 17:00 |
| unop | NET||abuse, you arent using egrep in the right way there | 17:00 |
| Arelis | jpatrick, the other was configuring my desktop | 17:00 |
| ikonia | sosus_: and 32bit ? | 17:00 |
| NET||abuse | unop, ok? | 17:00 |
| Arelis | jpatrick, another was installing desktop environments | 17:00 |
| unop | NET||abuse, i would use grep in such a way to find out which file holds the config - egrep -inHR "wepkey|essid" $HOME/* | 17:00 |
| jpatrick | Arelis: well, I use KDE :) | 17:00 |
| donald_ | unop: maybe u have your keys in wpa_supplicant? | 17:00 |
| Arelis | jpatrick, and another was installing window managers | 17:00 |
| Arelis | jpatrick, so that means, that everything broke, with normal actions. | 17:01 |
| sosus_ | ikonia, 7.10 64 bit | 17:01 |
| sosus_ | ejer, so far sound is working! going to the video page now | 17:01 |
| peace | anyone can help me? :) | 17:01 |
| moonlite | is it possible to limit a programs resources, ie saying that the program can't allocate more than, say, 200MB of memory? | 17:01 |
| ejer | ekiga is good | 17:01 |
| donald_ | NET||abuse: maybe change the SSID of your home wifi ?? | 17:01 |
| unop | donald_, i use WEP and just a simple post-up command in /etc/network/interfaces | 17:01 |
| NET||abuse | unop, thanks, trying that now.. :) | 17:01 |
| ejer | moonlite: there is program nice, but it does not limit memory | 17:01 |
| NET||abuse | donald_, nope,, the other 3 people in the house have their windows clients setup to use it now,, so would be a pain in the ass to go setting up again | 17:01 |

| dowgaia | When I lock the screen on my laptop, ubuntu will instead fully log me out (bumps back to GDM, closes all programs). Obviously this is not what "lock screen" should do. Is this a known bug, is there a known work around? Or have I just misconfigured something? This is a workstation laptop, if I leave my desk, I have to lock it, but killing the session entirely everytime is a bit of a hassle. | 17:02 |

| sosus_ | donald_, I can use any widows comptuer to change the firmware, though, right? | 17:10 |
| thebigham | bod_, i mean on the laptop | 17:10 |
| donald_ | sosus_: i think there's a project out there to get a firmware extractor and uploader in linux in progress | 17:10 |
| unop | ikonia, would you know how to fix this - i can't seem to drop to a virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+Fx) properly, the screen either remains blank (like it's out of resolution) or it changes rather abruptly (like when you degauss a monitor) -- in either case, the behaviour is not consistent | 17:11 |

| thebigham | bod_, it has buttons to change the brightness, but it changes back when i reboot | 17:11 |
| lukasz | helllp pls | 17:11 |

| proudhawk | xen is a pita. you really need to have the kernel for the OS operating in 2 places (outside xen and inside to instance xen controls) | 17:16 |
| ejer | ArrPirate: trying to use same IP as DHCP? | 17:17 |
| ejer | i like openvz over xen personally | 17:17 |
| ArrPirate | yes ad no, doesn't effect anything | 17:17 |
| bod_ | ArrPirate, make sure your using the same gateways that DHCP was using | 17:17 |
| proudhawk | ejer never tried openvz. I use vmware and (when I can get it to cooperate) qemu. however, vmware is the old standbye here and works for what I need it to do | 17:18 |
| ejer | i use vmware also but for server virtualization it is openvz hands down | 17:18 |

| ejer | ArrPirate: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html | 17:18 |

| ejer | bod_: X is failing to start it sounds like, try booting into single mode and dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 17:26 |
| unop | bod_, it could be that the video adapter's drivers are unavilable, the resolution if beyond what the monitor can handle or an improper frame-buffer is being used | 17:26 |
| ejer | sosus_: yes, skype should work, and go look up v4l2 on wikipedia if u really want to know | 17:27 |

| chris710 | Irkr>a gtk theme but on emerald | 18:03 |
| ejer | slade991_: sure, any linux disk should do it if it has grub | 18:03 |
| lrkr | chris710: sorry about the slow typing, my fingers are taped together | 18:03 |
| slade991_ | ejer : then i can"t use sysconfig on knoppix must use grub | 18:03 |
| Jewsus | when is it safe to disconnect my external hard drive? | 18:03 |
| lrkr | chris710: to install the gtk theme, the path i gave you should be sufficient | 18:03 |
| IdleOne | unop, pinging that ip from windows : request timed out | 18:03 |
| lrkr | chris710: since emerald is only theming the window decorator | 18:03 |
| lrkr | not the rest of the window | 18:03 |

| slade991_ | ejer : but when i tried to launch the usb disk when booting nothing append :/ i perhaps missed something | 18:04 |
| ejer | slade991_: the problem is when ubuntu installs it wipes out windows' boot manager, so you need to either put grub back or restore MBR from windows disk | 18:04 |
| unop | IdleOne, errm, i meant ping that address from within linux itself | 18:04 |
| IdleOne | oh | 18:04 |
| IdleOne | hehe | 18:04 |

| slade991_ | ejer : can i tell you what i have done an tell me if something is wrong ? | 18:06 |
| chris710 | Irkr>why? | 18:06 |
| ejer | sure | 18:06 |
| IdleOne | unop, host unreachable daxroc /etc/resolv is empty | 18:06 |
| lrkr | chris710: yeah, i was right; to install a gtk theme, go to system--->preferences--->appearance, then drag and drop the theme file into that window and it should install | 18:07 |
| benny99 | hi | 18:07 |
| lrkr | chris710: that should be all you need to do; emerald only skins the top of the dinwo | 18:07 |
| lrkr | chris710: *window | 18:07 |
| chris710 | Irkr>so, gtk themes dont work with emerald? | 18:07 |
| unop | IdleOne, and you are sure that 192.168.1.0/24 is your network's address scheme.. in other words, the gateway has an IP address 192.168.0.x with a netmask 255.255.255.0 ? | 18:08 |
| benny99 | I'm desperately trying to use pstricks with texlive, but I can't get it to accept my tex-file (which is a pstricks example) | 18:08 |
| daxroc | IdleOne: sorry , its /etc/resolv.conf | 18:08 |
| slade991_ | ejer : ok, i download knoppix from the website, copy all the files from the iso to the usb drive, copy the files, boot.msg, linux, logo.16, f3, f2 and minirt.gz to the root of the usb drive, and try t boot on | 18:08 |

| ejer | slade991_: that will not work did you follow a tutorial or anything | 18:08 |
| benny99 | and did texhash | 18:08 |
| chris710 | Irkr>i download a vista theme for emerald....xd | 18:08 |
| IdleOne | daxroc, /etc/resolv.conf is also empty | 18:09 |
| lrkr | chris710: well, they do, they both just skin different things. | 18:09 |
| slade991_ | ejer : yea a follow one. What does i do wrong ? | 18:09 |
| mattia | hei | 18:09 |
| ejer | slade991_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/01/usb-knoppix-510/ | 18:09 |
| ejer | you need to make drive bootable | 18:09 |
| daxroc | IdleOne: whats your gw address , add it to /etc/resolv.conf "nameserver ***.***.***.*** | 18:09 |
| iKap | am i suppose to create a separate partition for my files and the os? so when i restore.. all the files and programs are still there? didnt quite understand that concept... ? | 18:09 |
| lrkr | chris710: is the file you downloaded a .tar.gz file or a .emerald file? | 18:09 |
| IdleOne | unop, the router ip is 192.168.1.1 | 18:09 |
| ejer | iKap: that is a good way to do it | 18:09 |
| slade991_ | ejer: ok thanx you a lot i'll try this one ^^ hope it will work ^ | 18:10 |
| ejer | i have done it, it works | 18:10 |

| slade991_ | ejer : and when i would have boot how to restore grub or the windows boot system ? | 18:10 |

| Wiredtape | hello, I recently installed ubuntu 7, and am now trying to update.. however, I am having problems... any reason why the repositories shouldn't respond? | 18:11 |
| IdleOne | daxroc, ping www.google.com returns unknown host | 18:12 |
| unop | daxroc, but his gateway isnt even pingable - even if route should succeed there, he's quite unlikely to be able to ping beyond the gateway | 18:12 |
| ThipThip | hey everybody. I cannot seem to play embedded videos with firefox. going directly to youtube or google video works fine, but most of the time embedded videos simply do not show up or show up as a white box. | 18:12 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: could be several different reasons ; first check that you have them all enabled: system->admin->software sources, make sure the first four are enabled and the cdrom is not | 18:12 |
| onTop | How can I open .so-files? | 18:13 |
| Tweek888 | hello, I am trying to figure out what command ubuntu runs after you press "ctrl + alt + del" so I can write a x restart script for my flux config really quick | 18:13 |
| ajricoveri | can i remotely capture network traffic with wireshark ?? | 18:13 |
| daxroc | unop: If the route is correct it should be able to ping the router | 18:13 |
| unop | daxroc, IdleOne, i'm inclined to say that the right module for the adapter isnt loaded -- i'd try unloading the module and any other conflicting modules and reload the module | 18:13 |
| ejer | Tweek888: to bring up logout screen? | 18:13 |
| unop | daxroc, you dont need a default route to ping the gateway tho | 18:13 |
| lrkr | chris710: did that work? | 18:13 |
| IdleOne | unop, how do i go about that? | 18:14 |
| Tweek888 | ejer, to restart x, I use auto login | 18:14 |
| daxroc | unop: true | 18:14 |
| Tweek888 | but I would like to restart x from flux | 18:14 |
| ejer | Tweek888: that is actually ctrl-alt-backspace | 18:14 |
| Tweek888 | it doesn't work in flux | 18:14 |
| ejer | Tweek888: /etc/init.d/gdm restart | 18:14 |
| ejer | assuming you use gdm | 18:14 |
| jimat | ThipThip: you have installed flash plugin, but you might not install others (such as mplayer) | 18:14 |
| Tweek888 | yes ejer I use gdm | 18:14 |
| chris710 | Irkr>i have a little problem... | 18:14 |
| IdleOne | unop, if you would not mind sending instructions via msg so I can follow better | 18:15 |
| ejer | Tweek888: you will need to sudo that of course | 18:15 |
| onTop | Can someone help me? I've just downloaded a .so-file. What the heck am i supposed to do? | 18:15 |
| Wiredtape | nickrud: everything except cd is checked.. still getting failed on update attempts.. should I try a different server? | 18:15 |
| Tweek888 | :Exec /etc/init.d/gdm restart will restart x? | 18:15 |
| Tweek888 | I know | 18:15 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: that's the second step, yes | 18:15 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: you are connected to net? dumb question perhaps... | 18:16 |
| lrkr | chris710: what happened? | 18:16 |
| unop | IdleOne, errm, first lspci | grep -i ethernet - find the adapters make/model - then you'll need to google which module is the right module for the adapter - then use lsmod to see if it's loaded and what dependencies it has, unload all of them with rmmod and then load the module again with insmod | 18:16 |
| ThipThip | jimat: Do I want mplayer-mozilla? | 18:16 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, I am chatting here, through this comp :) | 18:16 |
| ejer | looks like it then | 18:16 |
| chris710 | Irkr>now o have it on emerald but how can i activate it? | 18:16 |
| ThipThip | jimat: It's interesting, because embedded videos do work sometimes... like in wordpress blogs, it's usually fine. | 18:16 |
| Wiredtape | nickrud, no response.. first try was "US servers" second was "Main Server" | 18:16 |
| lrkr | chris710: once you have the emerald theme manager open, under the "themes" tab, there should be a list of themes. Click on the one you want to use to select it. | 18:17 |
| unop | IdleOne, quite tricky -- insmod needs an absolute file name to the kernel module -- you can use locate to find it -- usually it's located in /lib/modules/`uname -r` | 18:17 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: is any internet working? | 18:17 |
| chris710 | Irkr>when i click it doesn't work,maybe i have to close compiz.... | 18:17 |
| Wiredtape | nickrud, I am talking on here.. so yes ... | 18:17 |
| jimat | ThipThip: try to put "about:plugins" on your firefox address bar and see which plugins installed | 18:17 |
| chris710 | Irkr>so how can i close compiz? | 18:18 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: try opening a page in firefox, make sure name resolution is currently working | 18:18 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list | 18:18 |
| Wiredtape | currently testing "best server" and a bunch are responding.. | 18:18 |
| jimat | ThipThip: about: plugins, without space | 18:18 |
| lrkr | chris710: hmmm, try going into your compiz settings and checking what your window decorator is | 18:18 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: ok, that's covers name resolution :) | 18:18 |
| chris710 | ok thanks | 18:18 |

| sascha_ | DRebellion, why ext3 and not ext2? is journaling of any use on a usb-stick? | 18:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: I dont do much cli... but my suggestion should get you to gui | 18:36 |

| neverblue | !enter | Kles | 18:36 |
| ubotu | Kles: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 18:36 |

| oem__ | network manager isnt properly managing my ehternet adapter. it says it is disconnected when it is connected and i have to manually tell it to get an address from DHCP | 18:36 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, https works .. now this is really weird.. | 18:36 |
| henroc | Is it possible to prevent this? | 18:36 |
| shade052 | DRebellion: thanks | 18:36 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: firewall seems most likely | 18:36 |
| Kles | MasterShrek: Nope | 18:36 |
| Wiredtape | shade052, oh, i thought you meant router firewall.. let me check.. | 18:37 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow,il try the xorg again | 18:37 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, is this in system->administration->network? | 18:37 |
| MasterShrek | Kles, you said you tried using the nvidia driver from apt right? have you completely removed it? | 18:37 |
| === plen0x is now known as plen0x_ | ||
| ejer | Wiredtape: it is something you would have set up | 18:37 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: sudo iptables -F will clear any firewall rules that might be affecting you | 18:37 |
| Kles | completely removed it? nope | 18:38 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, this is a clean install... | 18:38 |
| ejer | well, something is blocking traffic | 18:38 |
| MasterShrek | Kles, i would completely get rid of the apt version if you plan on using the one from their site | 18:38 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, thinkin i found the prob,.,. xorg has NO screen res's to use,.,. mybe the thing | 18:38 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: if you have a router, try to go to its config screen | 18:38 |
| Wiredtape | nickrud, after clearing firewall.. http still not working... | 18:38 |
| Kles | :| | 18:38 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, router config screen works... | 18:38 |
| MasterShrek | Kles, also keep in mind that any time your kernel gets upgraded, youll have to reinstall that driver (just so you know) | 18:38 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: ex http://192.168.1.1 | 18:38 |
| Kles | >_< | 18:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: good place to start | 18:39 |
| bod_ | lol | 18:39 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: ok, then http is being blocked in router or afterwards | 18:39 |
| Kles | well, be right back then | 18:39 |
| nickrud | Wiredtape: try ejer 's thing, and the only thing I can think of otherwise is env | grep -i http , possibly it's a bad proxy | 18:39 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, ok ,. i selected 1024/800 & 640 shouldnt have an excuse not to work now | 18:39 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: look at access settings in router | 18:39 |
| julia_ | miu | 18:40 |
| MasterShrek | Wiredtape, you are trying to set up an http server that can be accessed from outside your router (sorry wasnt paying attention b4) | 18:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: Which video card driver | 18:40 |
| ejer | MasterShrek: http egress is not working for him | 18:41 |
| Wiredtape | MasterShrek, not atm, I will after i get http working.. | 18:41 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, i chose vesa like you said,.,. but this time i got some weird lines and a mouse pointer for a second then the screen went black again | 18:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: you are running 6600 right? | 18:42 |
| julia_ | ketä te ootte | 18:42 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, 6600 what? ,.,. whats that? | 18:42 |
| MasterShrek | Wiredtape, so you cant browse to any http sites is what you are saying? | 18:42 |
| julia_ | ho are you | 18:42 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, nickrud, MasterShrek-> firewall is not the issue.. have disabled it, still no go | 18:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: Your video card.. I thought you posted that earlier, but may have been someone else | 18:42 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: it is in router or after | 18:42 |
| MasterShrek | Wiredtape, your isp could be blocking ports, mine does | 18:42 |
| Wiredtape | MasterShrek, some protocols work, some don't... https, irc work.. I think http, ftp don't... | 18:43 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, i dont know what it is,. i think its a savage something | 18:43 |
| ejer | MasterShrek: it is outbound http - i doubt that is blocked | 18:43 |
| Wiredtape | MasterShrek, port 80? and I have another computer on same network, that can access np... | 18:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: S3 sound familiar | 18:43 |
| MasterShrek | ejer, i could almost bet it does | 18:43 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, in router.. and also followed nickrud's instructions and cleared internal firewall | 18:43 |
| ejer | MasterShrek: then you can't see any webpages, seems a little silly? | 18:43 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, yer ,. but only because i read it online,.,. in single mode,. could i lspci to find out? | 18:44 |
| NET||abuse | popey, your suggestion of "rmmod ehci_hcd" worked,, why is that? | 18:44 |

| darkham | can you read me? | 18:44 |
| MasterShrek | the isp is blocking outgoing traffic on port 80, i could almost guarentee it, (assuming im understanding the problem correctly) my isp blocks outboud traffic on port 80, so my webserver is forwarded to a different port | 18:44 |
| ejer | hehe | 18:44 |
| julia_ | what is happening | 18:45 |
| oddie | RichEd: ctrl+alt+backspace ? | 18:45 |
| ejer | we are talking about otehr way around MasterShrek he can't get to http webpages from inside the network | 18:45 |
| MasterShrek | i can access my webserver on port 80 inside my network, but it needs to be forwarded to a different port from the outside | 18:45 |
| Wiredtape | MasterShrek, that's a problem I'll handle later, atm, I can't GET http | 18:45 |
| RichEd | oddie ... what does that do ? | 18:45 |
| MasterShrek | oh, i thought he said it did work inside the network | 18:45 |
| oddie | RichEd: don't know if that's what you are looking for | 18:45 |
| ejer | it does | 18:45 |
| ejer | his router is stopping it somehow | 18:45 |
| bjames | hi all, how do I do the inverse of this: if [ -n "$1"] | 18:45 |
| oddie | RichEd: restarts your x server without rebooting | 18:45 |
| MasterShrek | is the router forwarding port 80 to that ip address? | 18:46 |
| MasterShrek | if so then the isp is blocking 80 like i said | 18:46 |
| skoruppa | hi, i created my own livecd of ubuntu. I cahnged sources.list but on installation, installer rewrite sources.list to default.... someone know how to disable this? | 18:46 |

| Gigamo | I'm in need of a little help here. I installed the nvidia-glx-new package for my video card, but I can't start x using the "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf; only "nv" will work. What should I do? Run the manual nvidia installer from their site? | 18:46 |
| NET||abuse | popey, welll, whatever the reason,, thank you very much for the pointer,,, i'll have to figure out what's up with my usb stack.... the thing does hang often, killing my usb mouse, and just becoming unresponsive to new usb connections.. | 18:46 |
| bjames | i.e. if not [ -n "$0"] | 18:46 |
| bjames | ?? | 18:46 |
| MasterShrek | ejer, do you know how a router works? its not going to work from the outside if the router doesnt forward the port correctly | 18:46 |
| ejer | bjames: if [ ! -n $0 ] | 18:46 |
| ejer | MasterShrek: you are just confusing issue, go read back | 18:46 |
| surak | skoruppa: you must change it inside the package | 18:46 |
| bjames | ejer: tried that and it didn't work, although I think I see the problem now | 18:46 |

| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, that took ages to type,.,.lol | 18:47 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, if my router is to blame... why port 80? and why can I work on port 80 on another computer.. maybe, maybe it's because of a specific dhcp lease? i dont think it is.. but even if, i have disabled firewall.. so what could be blocking? | 18:47 |
| surak | the one who contains this file ;-) | 18:47 |
| oddie | RichEd: not sure that's what you're asking, but if you change your video driver you would need to restart the xserver | 18:47 |
| shade052 | WasterShrek: but he says that the other comp connecting to the same router is able to forward? so its not isp fault? | 18:47 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: if you can get to http on router, it is not your ubuntu system | 18:47 |
| RichEd | oddie: what happens to my open applications when i do that x server reset ? | 18:47 |
| skoruppa | /etc/apt/sources.listt are in package? | 18:47 |

| ejer | Wiredtape: can you see http://64.233.187.99 | 18:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: I see those eery so often, dont know much about them. vesa should work.. Is it possible to post your xorg.conf to the pastebin? | 18:48 |
| Wiredtape | *:-\ | 18:48 |
| RichEd | oddie ... ah .. exactly what i am trying to avoid :) | 18:48 |
| oddie | RichEd: the restart goes pretty fast though. since you are not rebooting | 18:48 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, you want me to ping that, or to go there? | 18:48 |
| itch_ | Hello guys. I have a Dell 6400 notebook and an aditional LG CRT display. I`m tring to set up a dual-display configuration (not cloning) using my crt connected to the VGA port of the notebook. i`ve configured my xserver to enable both displays. But for some reason, after reboot, the X server starts in safe mode. Here is my xserver file: # xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file) | 18:49 |

| Eric | what's the password? | 18:49 |
| Wiredtape | can't see | 18:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: Not sure what else you have tried so far, it seems we spend more time undoing things people have tried than fixing the original problem. | 18:49 |
| RichEd | oddie: here's the problem ... totem usually works fine ... but after some major browsing hitting pages with embedded videos ... totem then plays with a blank screen | 18:49 |
| chri4 | Wiredtape: if only http doesnt work, have you checked your proxy settings then? | 18:49 |
| iKap | am i suppose to create a separate partition for my files and the os? so when i restore.. all the files and programs are still there? didnt quite understand that concept... ? | 18:49 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, is there a way (from single mode) to copy xorg.conf to a usb stick? | 18:49 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, i havent tried anything | 18:49 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, can't access | 18:49 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: for fun i would reboot router | 18:50 |
| MasterShrek | shade052, the other pc, running an http server can forward on port 80 to the outside? | 18:50 |
| * MasterShrek is confused | 18:50 | |
| MasterShrek | lol | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: good... first, look at your xorg and see what it currently shows for the video driver | 18:50 |
| skoruppa | surak: sorry but i cant find... there are many packages with sources.list but no any with etc/apt/souces.list | 18:50 |
| ejer | nothing to do with http servers MasterShrek | 18:50 |
| MasterShrek | then ignore everything i have said lol | 18:50 |
| ejer | he can't get to google for instance, or any other http | 18:50 |
| Wiredtape | ejer, will brb, rebooting.. chri4 -> will check after reboot | 18:51 |
| MasterShrek | i get you now | 18:51 |
| iKap | ejer, is it too late for me to create a separate partition of the files and programs? | 18:51 |
| oddie | RichEd: do you have the right driver for your video card? | 18:51 |
| ejer | iKap: yes, you don't need to really, the default is recommended for new users | 18:51 |

| surak | so take a look at the own apt package, and the ubuntu installer | 18:51 |

| RichEd | MasterShrek: here's the problem ... totem usually works fine ... but after some major browsing hitting pages with embedded videos ... totem then plays with a blank screen | 18:54 |
| MasterShrek | Eric, yes also as Pici said, use a backslash \ before the space, but you can use tab completion, just type the first couple letters and hit tab | 18:54 |

| RichEd | MasterShrek: i'll msg you some more detail ... | 18:55 |

| MasterShrek | iKap, i understand that, im not sure if you can install ubuntu without formatting, but how i do it (in slackware) is just remove everything from the partition except the files that i want to save, then install without reformatting...dunno if its possible in ubuntu, but they should make that option available if it isnt | 18:57 |
| phaedral | usb plug and play works only intermittently; not sure what to do? | 18:57 |
| ejer | like the IT crowd says 'have you tried unplugging and replugging it?' | 18:57 |
| chri4 | Wiredtape: in german we say "reboot tut gut", that's a rhyme, saying reboot help ;-) | 18:57 |
| Gigamo | Im in need of an NVIDIA expert here;.. :D | 18:57 |
| phaedral | last time I asked was pointed to look at hal, but don't understand what I'm looking at | 18:57 |
| ejer | iKap: the upgrade process does everything for you | 18:57 |
| Arelis | pepperjack: thanks. | 18:57 |
| pewpewpew | Gigamo: Just ask. The experts will pop up afterwards. | 18:57 |
| MasterShrek | iKap, otherwise as suggested use a seperate partition, which i doubt you can do if its currently install, in which case i would back up all the files you want to save to an external hdd or something, then repartition and reformat with a seperate /home partition | 18:58 |
| === darkham is now known as krabador | ||
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, what is the default dir of a usb stick? | 18:58 |
| iKap | ejer, but if u do a restore even if you save your files seperate.. you still loose your settings.. right? | 18:58 |
| Gigamo | I cannot start X using the "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf. It will error out saying it can't find nvidia.ko or something like that. However it works fine when I put "nv" as the driver. I have installed the nvidia-glx-new package. | 18:58 |
| ejer | iKap: what restore? | 18:58 |
| ejer | Gigamo: use the restricted-driver manager | 18:58 |
| phaedral | bod_: I think it's /media/[volume label] | 18:58 |
| Wiredtape | chri4, hehe.. I've been hearing a lot of rhyme in german lately specifcally about techie stuff.. I am starting to wonder how many techies you have over there :-) | 18:58 |
| iKap | ejer, when i do a clean restore, like everyone does.. | 18:58 |
| phaedral | so for mine, when it works, it's /media/BAMF | 18:59 |
| shade052 | ejer, Wiredtape, chri4: anticipating something interresting would come out of this!! and in the end a reeboot fixes the prob.... argh !!! brilliant!! | 18:59 |
| pewpewpew | Gigamo: Are you using Gutsy? I recommend the restricted-driver manager then | 18:59 |
| bod_ | phaedral, ty :~) | 18:59 |
| Gigamo | how do i launch restricte dmanager from command again? | 18:59 |
| MasterShrek | iKap, some settings youll lose, if you save your /home/<user> folder all your user settings will remain, but system settings will go away i think | 18:59 |
| ejer | iKap: reinstall? this is not a restore | 18:59 |
| Foon | @find lobo | 18:59 |
| Arelis | pepperjack: Hm. It's not exactly the resolution i had in gutsy. It's off-screen, weird, blurry... | 18:59 |

| enkidu_ak | Talon: Are you using the compat-wireless drivers? | 19:21 |

| tokok | penars: transmission, java NOT required | 19:22 |
| L3ttuc3 | MasterShrek would it be possible, if i manually extracted the stuff, and stuck one in /home/user? | 19:22 |
| _0x44_ | penars: I'm rather fond of BitTyrant. | 19:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: YEs, xorg for your video, but if it crashes when set to vesa mode, you probably have other problems | 19:22 |

| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, well heres xorg.conf,.,. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54243/ | 19:22 |
| tokok | transmission will be default torrent client in ubuntu 8.04 replacing current torrent | 19:22 |
| MasterShrek | L3ttuc3, maybe, but the config files would be saved in the same place /home/user/.opera i think, and that may cause some problems, but it may be possible i guess...hard to say | 19:22 |
| _0x44_ | ejer: Thanks a bunch! | 19:22 |

| xfroggy | is there a way to find out which version of the program it's going to install prior to installing it? | 19:25 |
| usr13_ | new2linux: The login manager will give options. | 19:25 |

| kbrooks | new2linux, warning: you may not like the look of running KDE apps in XFCE | 19:25 |
| MasterShrek | new2linux, totally save to have both, choose a different session from your kdm before you log in to switch between the two | 19:25 |
| kbrooks | new2linux, or vice versa | 19:25 |

| MasterShrek | bod_, what was the laptop model again? thinkpad something? | 19:26 |
| bod_ | MasterShrek, although it says ,.,. set to manual installed what does that mean? | 19:26 |
| histo | xfroggy: if you are using synaptics you can look at the description. | 19:26 |
| ejer | Wiredtape: tasksel just calls aptitude, so try installing something from add/remove, synaptic, anywhere | 19:26 |

| bod_ | MasterShrek, ok | 19:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_: I assume you know how to edit using sudo nano | 19:28 |
| spiffman | gconf-editor only modifies the contents of .gconf, correct? to reset ALL settings, just delete those contents? | 19:28 |
| usr13_ | bod_: nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:28 |
| bod_ | MasterShrek, already got it,.,.lol ty | 19:29 |
| MasterShrek | use sudo nano | 19:29 |
| bod_ | usr13, no gui | 19:29 |
| MasterShrek | oh single user, no need for sudo then | 19:29 |
| DRebellion | nah, sudo vim :P | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MasterShrek: His HorizSync in xorg is way wrong | 19:29 |
| YixilTesiphon_ | shade052: so if I were to install this http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82936 (my wireless card is Atheros) it should then recognize my card, right? | 19:29 |
| usr13_ | bod_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:29 |
| MasterShrek | Jack_Sparrow, i didnt even look at that | 19:29 |
| bod_ | usr13, does it work in single mode? | 19:29 |
| usr13_ | bod_: or: sudo vim /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 19:29 |
| MasterShrek | bod_, yes it will work in single user mode, nano is a text-based editor | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MasterShrek: 28 - 33 isnt enough for that laptop | 19:29 |
| MasterShrek | Jack_Sparrow, i have no idea what it should even be | 19:30 |

| MasterShrek | lol | 19:30 |
| ejer | _0x44_: i don't use them, sorry | 19:30 |
| ejer | i agree with MasterShrek | 19:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MasterShrek: If he cant get hsync he wont get any display | 19:30 |
| MasterShrek | i agree with you on that Jack_Sparrow, i didnt even think to look at that | 19:31 |
| shade052 | YixilTesiphon : Sorry, if you have a wifi prob, and the card is Atheros. then i am no the man.. i have tried getting mine atheros working for a few months now. i gave up.. | 19:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | MasterShrek: Once that is set, I agree with you on going back to savage driver | 19:31 |
| _0x44_ | MasterShrek: Why? Aside from the computer waking up unexpectedly, I haven't had any issues with suspend/hibernate. | 19:31 |
| YixilTesiphon_ | shade052: damn, thanks though | 19:31 |
| _0x44_ | ejer: Thanks for your help. :) | 19:32 |

| hepek | when I press Ctrl+A in any GTK+ textbox it doesn't select all but moves cursor to the beginning of the line, how can I fix this... | 20:33 |
| adelie43 | Wiredtape: ubuntu needs to be installed from the VM. you can't run the same install because the hardware is technically different between being a host and a VM | 20:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | Indiadev_Techie: wouldnt' even know where to start, sorry | 20:34 |
| Wiredtape | Starnestommy, ok.. | 20:34 |
| invit | Anibody know if 9dragon can work with Wine please ? | 20:34 |
| R_en_GUtsy | if you are to use ubuntu isnide a virtual machine on winodws you may be able to download it. Using vmware? | 20:34 |
| Indiadev_Techie | IndyGunFreak: Then sorry to disturb ya.... but thanx 4 ur Help.... | 20:35 |
| R_en_GUtsy | invit try wine-doors. The best way to know is to try it. Wine is just 10MB | 20:35 |
| Wiredtape | adelie43, that's what I was thinking.. one more question.. would a ubuntu amd 64bit vm be able to run at that bit depth, while inside a windows 32 bit? | 20:35 |
| adelie43 | Wiredtape: if you want to run ubuntu in a VM, you need to download the install iso for the host and them mount it in the vmware config for that machine and boot to it, then run install as normal | 20:35 |
| adelie43 | Wiredtape: no | 20:35 |
| Ritter_Rost | guten morgen | 20:35 |

| muuddflap | will someone please tell what is the easiest printer to install on 7.10 | 20:36 |
| R_en_GUtsy | Wiredtape: ifg you are to run ubuntu in vmware, just download the bmware image of gutsy and you are off. Doesn't get simplier | 20:36 |
| adelie43 | Wiredtape: the only mix and match is that you can run 32 and 64 bit VM's in 64 bit host environments | 20:36 |
| invit | R_en_GUtsy I have try and I cant lunch the game, i don't know if my configuration are bad or if 9dragon don t work with wine | 20:36 |

| warlock_handler | pepperjack: but my ubuntu stretches below that in height | 20:41 |
| warlock_handler | pepperjack: so i cant see the bottom of the screen | 20:42 |
| pepperjack | warlock_handler: does the screen move around if you move your mouse over to the far boarders? | 20:42 |
| pelerophon0 | zionpsyfer: when i edit it with crontab -e, btw, it says the file is tmp/crontab.[randomjunk]/crontab | 20:42 |
| warlock_handler | pepperjack: nope i am not using compiz or any desktop manager/ animation software | 20:42 |
| pepperjack | warlock_handler: sure it isnt a monitor setup issue? often when i change drivers or res i need to adjust the geometry using monitor buttons | 20:43 |
| zionpsyfer | pelerophon0: Hmm, I'm trying it out on my system to see if I can find it. Unfortunately I usually just edit /etc/crontab. still looking =P | 20:43 |
| usr13_ | warlock_handler: You simply need to find one that fits the screen. Look at ratios suggest in the owner's manual and find one you like. | 20:43 |

| Gibbwake | is there a default root password for ubuntu? | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | no | 20:54 |
| Flare183 | !root | Gibbwake | 20:54 |
| jpatrick | !root > Gibbwake | 20:54 |
| ubotu | Gibbwake: 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 | 20:54 |
| jpatrick | !sudo > Gibbwake | 20:54 |
| HymnToLife | technically, there _us_ one | 20:54 |

| Gibbwake | is that something unique to ubuntu? | 20:54 |

| tumbleweed05 | hey people. just doing some hardware tests. when i plug in some headphones/speakers in the headphone plugin sound still comes out of the speakers on the computer. | 21:05 |
| jeffMASTERflex | sajes: debhelper is a series of scripts that will help you build nice deb packages. not the bastardized versions produced by checkinstall | 21:05 |
| Gibbwake | how do you get to the command line? | 21:05 |
| sajes | jeffMASTERflex: thanks. | 21:05 |
| Dexterex | how do you get to the command line????? | 21:05 |
| ubotu | sajes: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

| Gibbwake | whats xubuntu? | 21:06 |
| jeffMASTERflex | !xubuntu | Gibbwake | 21:07 |
| zionpsyfer | pelerophon0: Np, have a good one! | 21:07 |

| tumbleweed05 | gibbwake: yes it does. | 21:07 |
| ruben- | DRebellion: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hdd | 21:07 |

| Gibbwake | Jack_Sparrow: oh god. I think so | 21:08 |
| tumbleweed05 | hmmm. | 21:08 |
| DRebellion | ruben-: does /dev/hda1 exist? | 21:08 |
| sewmyheadon | Thank you! | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gibbwake: So you dont even have a clean 128 | 21:08 |
| flatline-kun | Has anyone here ever used CoovaChilli? | 21:08 |

| Gibbwake | any other things I can do to save memory before I get xbuntu? | 21:09 |
| DRebellion | ruben-: :/ | 21:09 |
| ruben- | DRebellion: I'm reinstalling.. | 21:09 |
| Dexterex | dan__ look for kde-dev packages | 21:09 |
| ruben- | nice first experience with ubuntu :p | 21:09 |
| white_eagle_ | Gibbwake, just get xubuntu ;) | 21:09 |
| DRebellion | ruben-: yeh, i have no idea why mount would complain about those arguments | 21:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gibbwake: NOt really... You will most likely end up with X as it is lighter.. | 21:09 |
| ruben- | I'll give it another shot.. | 21:10 |
| DRebellion | ruben-: verify both /dev/hda1 and /mnt/hdd exit | 21:10 |
| DRebellion | ruben-: verify both /dev/hda1 and /mnt/hdd exist | 21:10 |
| tumbleweed05 | nice. the media card reader works. | 21:10 |

| tumbleweed05 | ethernet, fn keys, media card reader, wireless, it all works. | 21:10 |

| tumbleweed05 | sound too. | 21:11 |
| nemilar | simon360: k3b seems to be everyone's favorite | 21:11 |

| sophs87 | k3b? | 21:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: Did yo also install build essentials | 21:11 |
| Dexterex | simion314_: k3b look it in apt | 21:11 |
| tumbleweed05 | well i'm gonna keep playing around. | 21:11 |
| nemilar | Brasero is the new default in 8.04 =) | 21:11 |
| sophs87 | Erm, or nero linux but that you would have to pay for or break the law | 21:11 |
| tumbleweed05 | later people. | 21:11 |
| dan__ | I clicked on KDE in the SPM | 21:11 |
| pepperjack | k3b is better than nero anyway imo | 21:11 |
| Parsec300 | simion314_, yeah, but to enable direct burning music CD from MP3, you need to install additional packages | 21:12 |
| sophs87 | tbh i've never tried k3b :( | 21:12 |
| Dexterex | k3b rocks! | 21:12 |
| jeffMASTERflex | pepperjack: i agree, but k3b is ugly as hell IMO. nero is too. i like brasero even if it's not as reliable as k3b | 21:12 |

| DRebellion | sybariten: 8.04 is pre-beta | 21:17 |
| jeffMASTERflex | sybariten: yes, it's alpha software. alpha can go boom any time | 21:17 |
| Decinoge | no one, fine | 21:17 |
| neverblue | !anyone | dan_ | 21:17 |
| ubotu | dan_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 21:17 |
| nemilar | sybariten: don't install 8.04... bad things will happen | 21:17 |
| sybariten | DRebellion, jeffMASTERflex : oh, didnt know it was at such a young stage. thanks! | 21:17 |
| nemilar | sybariten: it's not even in beta yet | 21:17 |
| sybariten | nemilar: okay | 21:18 |

| linuxNoob | thx yo | 21:18 |
| Nx | I installed it from synaptic and add/remove | 21:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 21:18 |
| Dexterex | don't install 8.04... bad things will happen! jajaj | 21:18 |

| ubotu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 21:19 |
| jeffMASTERflex | dan__: first you install the regular "build-essential" package, then you install the necessary kde dev libraries needed for your program | 21:20 |
| steveire | Hey. I'm not sure I can play avi files, and I can't find any on the net. Someone got a link to one? | 21:20 |

| neverblue | dan_, you can always do a search | 21:21 |
| usr13_ | dan__: What are you trying to do? | 21:21 |
| sophs87 | drat :( | 21:21 |

| jack-desktop | does anyone know bash and can help me? | 21:22 |
| neverblue | !anyone > Nx | 21:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: Since you are trying to compile a KDE app, it would seem to make sense that you should ask for help in Kubuntu...(even though you want to run it under gnome) | 21:23 |
| neverblue | jack-desktop, there is a #bash channel | 21:23 |
| nemilar | jeffMASTERflex: haha | 21:23 |
| StrangeCharm | i'm having trouble hibernating a fujitsu laptop - when i click hibernate from the power menu, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor, and i can't do anything. can i remedy this? | 21:23 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Nx: i've used mixx before but never on amd64. 64 bit is useless unless you have 4GB of ram and over. i stick with 32 bit and mixx runs without issues | 21:23 |
| dan__ | ok, thanks | 21:23 |
| Equ1n0x_ | Aew | 21:23 |

| Nx | thanks | 21:24 |
| Nx | I'm really new, do I have to download the 32bit bins? | 21:24 |
| StrangeCharm | Jack_Sparrow: no, i'm using an intel gpu with the intel modsetting driver | 21:24 |
| neverblue | Nx, that depends, but usually yes | 21:24 |
| xxxBooGerxxx | what is the comand to format a second hard drive? | 21:24 |

| Kossilar | I'm having trouble with my videocard. I've installed the NVIDIA drivers, but I have to reinstall them every time I restart my computer in order to be able to use my system. | 21:25 |
| jeffMASTERflex | jack-desktop: if you want to become a bash #1 stunna, i recommend checking this page out: http://linuxcommand.org/ | 21:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xxxBooGerxxx: YOu can use gparted or cli | 21:25 |
| Nx | I just installed it synoptic | 21:25 |
| b4l74z4r | i understand that you are automatically root for 5 minutes after you have typed the password, doesn't that represent a security risk? | 21:25 |
| === riaal_ is now known as riaal | ||
| StrangeCharm | Jack_Sparrow: the issue's not the driver, or you think there's a different issue with this driver | 21:25 |
| jack-desktop | jeffMASTERflex, i don't want to learn bash, i want to understand what this script is doing, because i think it's wrong. | 21:25 |
| xxxBooGerxxx | neverblue gparted isn't working for me | 21:25 |
| neverblue | Nx, please keep questions/posts to a single line | 21:25 |
| DRebellion | b4l74z4r: you are only root if you type sudo | 21:25 |
| dan__ | it's actually the newer beta version of Kmuddy that I'm trying to install | 21:25 |
| neverblue | xxxBooGerxxx, errors? | 21:25 |
| usr13_ | dan__: That may be older version... so disregard | 21:25 |
| pepperjack | Kossilar: i think there may be something with linux-restricted-modules and nvidia module that does that i havent messed with it in a long time though so not sure if that is a bug you are seeing | 21:26 |
| xxxBooGerxxx | yeah | 21:26 |
| jeffMASTERflex | jack-desktop: so you want other people to confirm that it's worng instead of confirming it yourself? what about teaching a man to fish? | 21:26 |
| jack-desktop | jeffMASTERflex, i don't fish. | 21:26 |
| freyyr | Kossilar: are you root? | 21:26 |
| jeffMASTERflex | jack-desktop: well then you might not eat today | 21:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | StrangeCharm: What I saw was specific for Ati | 21:27 |
| xxxBooGerxxx | neverblue somthing about label error | 21:27 |
| jack-desktop | jeffMASTERflex, i know many programming languages (vbs, vb6, java, c++, php), i could probably pick up on bash in a second or two but i'd rather just ask someone else | 21:27 |
| StrangeCharm | Jack_Sparrow: thanks anyway | 21:27 |
| neverblue | xxxBooGerxxx, put it on pastebin please | 21:27 |
| jeffMASTERflex | !pastebin | jack-desktop | 21:27 |

| jughead | which logfiles should I check to see why my fileserver keeps losing its connection? There's no monitor and I hate having to do a hard reset every time it stops working | 21:28 |
| arooni-mobile | when i do <control> + r ... i expect it to search *all* commands ever entered on any terminal instance. right now, it (1) only seems to search terminal history for the current terminal, and (2) has a limited search back history... how can i fix both of these issues? | 21:28 |

| arooni-mobile | void^, whats that | 21:28 |
| arooni-mobile | void^, is that an alternative to bash? | 21:29 |
| jeffMASTERflex | arooni-mobile: yessir | 21:29 |
| arooni-mobile | oh noes | 21:29 |
| arooni-mobile | but i like bash | 21:29 |
| void^ | bash doesn't support searching the history of other instances afaik | 21:29 |
| jeffMASTERflex | arooni-mobile: it's almost exactly like bash but with a few more features among other things. you might like it | 21:29 |
| usr13_ | jughead: You might just look at the network configuration for some sort of error or unorthox setting. | 21:29 |
| xxxBooGerxxx | neverblue it kind of hard for me right now I'm not at the machine | 21:29 |
| arooni-mobile | jeffMASTERflex, but i already have a .bashrc file; and know the basics of how that works | 21:30 |
| Jagatuba | Okay I've searched the forums, but nothing seems to help. I've found threads discussing similar problems, but not exactly the same. My problem is when I insert my thumb drive into the usb port it won't mount. It used to but all of the sudden in the last week none of the drives I have will mount. They do contain data, and I can access them in Windows, so I know that there is nothing wrong with the drives themselves. I get an error perta | 21:30 |

| dan__ | I have a Radeon 9250 video card, that works in windows, but doesn't work in Gutsy | 21:30 |
| dan__ | has anyone tackled this problem before? | 21:30 |
| jeffMASTERflex | arooni-mobile: then don't use zsh and maybe someone can help you with your problem hopefully | 21:30 |
| jughead | usr13, it's a static IP address that's outside the range of the DHCP addresses for the router | 21:31 |
| usr13_ | dan__: ATI cards are a bit of a problem for us. | 21:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: fyi flgrx will NOT work with that card.. just in case you installed that | 21:31 |
| arooni-mobile | jeffMASTERflex, do you use it? | 21:31 |
| arooni-mobile | what do you like bout it | 21:31 |
| dan__ | I did install it. it didn't work. | 21:31 |
| Jagatuba | has anyone else had this problem? | 21:31 |

| kyleBAKED | how can i check the exact name of the wifi driver i have installed? i need it for wpa_supplicant | 21:32 |
| usr13_ | jughead: How is it loosing connection? Could it be a hardware problem? Maybe the NIC? | 21:32 |
| jughead | usr13, it will work (I can ssh, mount the remote shares, etc) for a little while then it stops working - everything is on but the connection is lost | 21:32 |
| === reconnect is now known as recon | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: YOu must remove flgrx and in most cases reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx | 21:33 |
| DRebellion | kyleBAKED: lsmod | 21:33 |
| usr13_ | jughead: Is there an indicator light on the NIC, that is lit when connected? And does it go out as well? | 21:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: THe card works fine.. just NOT with fglrx | 21:33 |
| nemilar | jughead: are you having the problem that your ssh connection gets terminated after a certain period of time? I didn't see your original question. | 21:33 |
| usr13_ | jughead: What does ifconfig say when it is disconnected? | 21:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: The ati docs are very specific about that. | 21:33 |
| jughead | usr13, it stays green; if I unplug it it blinks yellow then goes back go green still no response | 21:33 |

| Gibbwake | ok Im at the recovery prompt with root. I cant boot normally because of a printing port cupsd error. What can I type at the command prompt to nuke all printing services since I dont even have one? | 21:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: I thought you said you had a radeon? | 21:51 |
| Jagatuba | Ok let's see if anyone can figure this out. | 21:52 |
| dan__ | Jack_Sparrow: I do. I have onboard graphics too. But I want to use the radeon card | 21:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: HAve you disabled your onboard video in the bios/cmos? | 21:53 |
| Jagatuba | My usb drives used to mount automatically when I plugged them in. Now they don't. I just get an error | 21:53 |
| infornography | I have gutsy installed on my laptop. Earlier I was connected it up to my monitor which has a much bigger screen (same resolution though). It worked fine, but now its disconnected, I cant have any resolution other than 640x480. It should be 1680x1050. Anybody know how to fix it? | 21:53 |
| dan__ | Jack_Sparrow: I'm using the on-board graphics right now, because I get a black screen when I enable the card in bios | 21:53 |
| ADemiG0D | i just installed ubuntu 7.04 on a desktop, how do i upgrade it to 7.10? | 21:53 |

| Tiancai | can you help me? | 21:58 |
| [Rollerman] | hola?? | 21:58 |
| bugspray | nemilar: that is not a valid color depth. 16 is the next that he should now try as a fallback if 24 is no-go | 21:58 |
| nemilar | [nrx]: what's the problem? | 21:58 |
| Jagatuba | k hang on a sec | 21:58 |
| Gibbwake | nickrud: whats the difference between k19 and s19? | 21:58 |
| nemilar | bugspray: 32 is valid | 21:58 |
| ruben- | DRebellion: It works now, after reinstall - don't know how, did the exact same thing :) | 21:58 |
| de4dsnake | hey, can neone help me troublshooting grub? ive got error 2 on first reboot after freshinstalling from live cd? | 21:58 |
| nemilar | bugspray: 24 is preferred however | 21:58 |
| lmnop | wud up gangsta | 21:58 |
| bugspray | 32 is only transparency layers over 24 | 21:58 |
| ahunter_ | wat up g | 21:58 |
| [nrx] | nemilar: everything was fine.. but graphics were slow, so i enabled restricted drivers. Now that it's enabled, colour depth is crap. it's currently set to 24 | 21:58 |
| nickrud | Gibbwake: if you take a look at ls /etc/rc2.d , you'll see a bunch of services, S** means start in this order , K** means stop in this order (or don't start at all) | 21:59 |
| [nrx] | nemilar, all skin tones have a blue hue | 21:59 |
| DRebellion | ruben-: excellent | 21:59 |
| sybariten | uhm, i installed ubuntu via that windows-installer-thingy | 21:59 |
| bugspray | [nrx]: is your driver set to vesa? | 21:59 |
| Gibbwake | awesome | 21:59 |
| sybariten | and... well... now i am booting for the first time | 21:59 |
| ruben- | DRebellion: as soon as i logged on it said "use sudo ... ", works perfect :) I like :p | 21:59 |
| [nrx] | bugspray, set to flgrx (or whatever it is, sorry) | 21:59 |
| StrangeCharm_ | in the forums, i read that hibernation not working is a common problem in ubuntu. is that true? | 21:59 |
| sybariten | but it stopped at a thing... "starting local scripts" or something ... i had to press Alt-F1, and got a new prompt | 21:59 |
| Gibbwake | nickrud: how long should the sudo mv take? its not really doing anything | 21:59 |
| nickrud | Gibbwake: fyi , /etc/rcS.d is run first (and corresponds to recovery mode) then /etc/rc2.d | 21:59 |
| bugspray | [nrx]: has this fglrx install yet worked on this setup? | 22:00 |
| sd32 | i just got a cross site scripting warning from the wikipedia ubuntu article | 22:00 |
| nickrud | Gibbwake: you got the command line back? It's done | 22:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ahunter_: May I PM for a sec.. | 22:00 |
| josh__ | anyone know of a way to remove special characters from file names | 22:00 |
| de4dsnake | hey, can neone help me troublshooting grub? ive got error 2 on first reboot after freshinstalling from live cd? anyone please? I found that error 2 means drive not found. But live cd does see the drive and is able to mount it | 22:00 |
| nickrud | Gibbwake: mv is move, or rename | 22:00 |
| dan__ | Jack_Sparrow: line 78 says "screen" | 22:01 |
| bugspray | [nrx]: set driver to vesa, do a little more research THEN try redo of fglrx install | 22:01 |
| [nrx] | bugspray, not as yet no. I had it as vesa before and it was fine but graphics were very slow. I'm running MythTV you see. So I enabled restricted drivers, now video speed etc is fine, but the colours all wrong on MythTV | 22:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: change default depth | 22:01 |
| infornography | exit | 22:01 |
| Alyxander | [nrx]: what graphics card? | 22:02 |
| bugspray | [nrx]: colors, etc with fglrx were fine with other apps? | 22:02 |
| andy_ | Hi I'm running 7.10. Last week for "no reason at all" gnome began taking a long time to start after the gdm sign in. Any idea where to start looking for the problem? | 22:02 |
| Jagatuba | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 22:02 |
| [nrx] | bugspray, not really. I can see the colour depth isn't quite right | 22:02 |
| dan__ | Jack_Sparrow: ok, done | 22:02 |
| edju | dwnloaded kubuntu amd64 for an hp laptop and booted into it. no recognition of the video driver - not surprising - it needs the linux driver from nvidia, which I havee on a cd. i have a prompt, though. how to start the install? text install is OK with me. | 22:02 |
| dan__ | Jack_Sparrow: restart and change bios? | 22:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yep | 22:03 |
| dan__ | Jack_Sparrow: k | 22:03 |
| jimat | de4dsnake: what s the content of menu.lst? | 22:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: remember | 22:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dan__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:03 |
| sybariten | what should i do if ubuntu doesnt wanna go beyond "running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)" ??? | 22:03 |
| === fate is now known as fate_ | ||
| bugspray | [nrx]: not seeing the color problem myself, i would suspect problem with driver installed. (it most likely doesn't 100% match your card) | 22:03 |
| === fate_ is now known as fate__ | ||
| OldGreg | ok. so I just somehow managed to lock myself out of my own system | 22:03 |
| pepperjack | OldGreg: always a classic | 22:04 |
| OldGreg | yup | 22:04 |
| [nrx] | bugspray, it's sitting at gnome desktop just now and the colour is pretty much okay. | 22:04 |
| pepperjack | OldGreg: you can boot to single user shell and run passwd username | 22:04 |
| theRealballchalk | who's using FireGL V3200? | 22:04 |
| OldGreg | it's not that. it's permissions | 22:04 |
| [nrx] | bugspray, but if i fire up MythTV, I can see all the skin tones are off, everything has a blue hue to it | 22:04 |
| Gibb | nickrud: damn, still have that cupsd error on boot, its hanging up on it | 22:04 |
| pepperjack | OldGreg: what did you do? | 22:04 |
| de4dsnake | jimat: I wont b able to paste it, because its on another machine. However it doesnt even got the grub menu. the error occurs before. | 22:05 |
| OldGreg | i was messing with the permissions on some of the files in my home directory, and now I can't get Gnome or KDE to run. it can't create the hidden files in my home dir | 22:05 |
| Alyxander | [nrx]: what graphics card? | 22:05 |

| OldGreg | i just can't log in normall | 22:05 |
| OldGreg | *normally | 22:05 |
| [nrx] | Alyxander, ATI Radeon | 22:05 |
| bugspray | [nrx]: so, get info on your card verified, research all versions of ubuntu-specific-fglrx ATI drivers available. if no ubuntu-specific driver 100% compatible with specifically YOUR card, try ATI driver from ATI | 22:05 |
| Jagatuba | DRebellion? | 22:06 |
| pepperjack | OldGreg: so a sudo chown -R $USER:USER ~ <-- fixes? | 22:06 |
| pepperjack | OldGreg: er chown -R $USER:$USER | 22:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [nrx]: Which number radeon | 22:06 |
| Alyxander | either way you can use envy to install the latest driver and then use the control center to make adjustments. be careful though | 22:06 |
| === neil__ is now known as coldboot|home | ||
| OldGreg | PepperJack: I haven't tried that | 22:06 |
| jimat | de4dsnake: see if it you run: "grub", then "find /boot/grub/stage1" if it can find where grub is | 22:06 |
| OldGreg | two minutes | 22:06 |

| Alpha_Cluster | how do i get it so that under visual effects that custom will work? for some reason only extra and normal do things and by clicking custom it only does what is set in extra | 22:07 |
| de4dsnake | jimat: where should i look for grub. I after mounting the hard drive i can see grub in the boot folder | 22:07 |
| Jagatuba | it's weird because it used to automount | 22:08 |
| barfender | I am getting 'no signal' from my monitor. This happens after 30min of activity in console mode and in xfce with fglrx loaded. What could be the problem and could HardyHeron/Aplha fix this? | 22:08 |
| __IaN__ | HI! only 1 newbe question, how can i be root user??? | 22:08 |
| Jagatuba | even like a couple of weeks ago i used it | 22:08 |
| pepperjack | !root | __IaN__ | 22:08 |
| ubotu | __IaN__: 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 | 22:08 |
| OldGreg | PepperJack: tried it. says missing operand after : | 22:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | barfender: Dont look to hardy to fix a gutsy problem | 22:08 |

| coldboot|home | How is Evolution these days? Does anyone use it with Exchange Server? | 22:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | __IaN__: USe sudo or gksudo | 22:09 |
| pepperjack | OldGreg: so basically do this insteal sudo chown -R OldGreg:OldGreg ~ <-- where OldGreg is your username | 22:09 |
| Jagatuba | gksudo | 22:09 |
| nickrud | Gibb: ls /etc/rc2.d , make sure that S19cupsys does not exist, and K19cupsys does. | 22:09 |

| freyyr | VvWolverinevV: running any special window managers (beryl, compiz)? That happened to me a couple times due to instability | 22:16 |
| fiXXXerMet | |startup | 22:16 |
| Alyxander | Jack_Sparrow: envy works if your careful and also it gives you a way to configure your cards | 22:16 |
| VvWolverinevV | freyyr: compiz | 22:16 |
| de4dsnake | jimat: yes raid0, sorry if i havent mentioned before | 22:16 |
| fiXXXerMet | Erm what is the bot command? | 22:16 |
| jrib | Dmole: hmm ok, maybe I'm wrong with sed (just tried). Let me play | 22:16 |
| VvWolverinevV | freyyr: how did you fix it? | 22:16 |
| Alyxander | ubuntu doesnt include that and its the easiest way to get them to work | 22:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Alyxander: Envy is NOT something to be recommended in here... | 22:16 |
| freyyr | VvWolverinevV: I stopped using compiz. My issue was the ATI driver was (at the time) not fully supported with compiz | 22:17 |
| Flare183 | !evny | 22:17 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about evny - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:17 |
| Alyxander | people complain that thye have had problems ive used it for both ati and nvidia and have been happy | 22:17 |
| Flare183 | !envy | 22:17 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 22:17 |
| [nrx] | s there an envy equivalent then? | 22:17 |
| freyyr | VvWolverinevV: you might try updating your drivers | 22:17 |
| edju | bugspray, that would work - though so would a text install, i don't neeed a gui now. trieed various drivers with dpkg-reconfigure, but some of the configs stump me. | 22:17 |
| freyyr | VvWolverinevV: otherwise, i'm not sure. | 22:17 |
| NMajik | On a similar note to my above question, can an email be sent from a CLI? | 22:17 |
| VvWolverinevV | freyyr: are they not automatically updated through the repos? | 22:17 |
| Alyxander | Jack_Sparrow: why is that? its functional | 22:17 |
| VvWolverinevV | freyyr: i may try disabling compiz if it happens again, thanks for the advice | 22:17 |
| freyyr | VvWolverinevV: not the official ones, if you're using them. | 22:18 |
| freyyr | VvWolverinevV: okay | 22:18 |

| Slart | Kloss: or run "apt-cache search mp3 player" and see what it comes up with | 22:42 |
| xomp | although it does take an act of congress to get Gutsy to work on my Optiplex :/ | 22:42 |
| Slart | dman: mm.. indeed.. but there is no process called X, is there? | 22:43 |
| cyrus82 | hello, is the hardy alpha 4 iso out yet? | 22:43 |
| phroughy | lollo, good job :P | 22:43 |
| bugspray | xomp: i don't know about the act of congress. rather bipartisan these days... maybe you'll only need the stars to be aligned properly | 22:43 |
| lollo | the command mv copies or cuts the file ? ? | 22:43 |
| WhoNeedszzz | dman, I am having it read 99% after idling | 22:43 |
| Slart | WhoNeedszzz: hang on.. I'll check my xubuntu machine again | 22:43 |
| lollo | thx LoL | 22:43 |
| Kloss | Slart: thank you again! great supporter! | 22:43 |
| xomp | bugspray, lol, aye :) | 22:43 |
| phroughy | lollo, its supposed to move (cut) | 22:43 |
| phroughy | cyrus, get #ubuntu+1 | 22:44 |
| phroughy | cyrus, i mean try asking in #ubuntu+1 | 22:44 |
| cyrus82 | i'll do this, thanks | 22:44 |
| dman | Slart: there might be something along the lines of xserver, maybe? or xgl | 22:44 |
| LockesRabb | anyone have experience with tilda? or at least the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts? | 22:45 |
| Slart | dman: yes.. I guess the taskmanager might do some translation stuff.. seems odd though.. why not call processes by their real name | 22:45 |
| WhoNeedszzz | Slart, dman, I see "X" in xfce4-taskmanager | 22:45 |
| WhoNeedszzz | and it is giving me trouble | 22:45 |
| xomp | I just wish someone would get working on a fix for the 2.6.22-14-generic kernel bug :/ | 22:45 |
| RazzoRz | My other silly question is!... i have recorded my desktop and the program that records the desktop uses a ogg format!... now from what i am reading and being told that a Ogg format is a Sounds Format. and when i try to upload it to youtube it fails... anyone has a answer for me? | 22:45 |
| xomp | RazzoRz, .ogg is a container | 22:46 |
| dman | Slart: i don't know. My xubuntu install isn't functioning currently, so i can't check. regardless, it is the graphical server, unless it's something utterly unrelated... | 22:46 |
| RazzoRz | Xomp: explain | 22:46 |
| magnetron | RazzoRz: you can use the avidemux program to convert it to something else | 22:46 |
| xomp | RazzoRz, .ogg can support multiple subtitle, audio and video streams. | 22:46 |
| LockesRabb | anyone have experience with tilda? or at least the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts? | 22:46 |
| RazzoRz | xopm: thank you Magnetron Ty... | 22:46 |
| xomp | RazzoRz, I'm not sure if youtube supports .ogg files or not. But I do know .avi works :) | 22:47 |
| dman | WhoNeedszzz: did you try to kill it? | 22:47 |
| Slart | WhoNeedszzz: I've got that process there too.. very strange | 22:47 |
| WhoNeedszzz | LockesRabb, tilda just brings up a cmd prompt | 22:47 |
| magnetron | RazzoRz: you can find avidemux in applications > add/remove | 22:47 |
| WhoNeedszzz | dman, it is a root process | 22:47 |
| RazzoRz | xomp: i know that it don't due to the fact that i have yet to upload anything.. | 22:47 |
| lollo | ok, i've another question ... someone can tell me if these files: initrd.img.old ; vmlinuz vmlinuz.old can be removed without damage the whole system ? | 22:47 |
| RazzoRz | magnetron: Ty | 22:47 |
| LockesRabb | whoneedszzz yes, but i want to know how to make the prompt go away when im done with it | 22:48 |

| bugspray | magnetron: you should consider using a little more care in showing others your level of transformers knowledge | 22:50 |
| LockesRabb | whoneedszzz i figured it out, just had to right click on it | 22:50 |
| LockesRabb | thanks | 22:50 |

| Blah | How do I go root in Ubuntu? | 22:54 |
| dman | Blah: why? | 22:54 |
| bugspray | Blah: try sudo su | 22:54 |
| jrib | !root > blah (read the private message from ubotu) | 22:55 |
| jrib | bugspray: please do not recommend that | 22:55 |
| Blah | dman: I need to shut down my firewall (shorewall) and su does not work | 22:55 |
| magnetron | bugspray: i never thought of transformers when choosing this nick, i chose it because of the electromagnetic meaning. then all i here on IRC "OMG U R MEGATRON TRANSFORMER" so i eventually learned that some ppl (like you) associate it with transformers. | 22:55 |
| dman | jrib: ditto. very dangerous... | 22:55 |
| kahrytan | !root | Blah | 22:55 |
| ubotu | Blah: 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 | 22:55 |
| bugspray | Blah: note su -m to run graphical apps, too | 22:56 |
| jrib | Blah: how did you manage to install shorewall without knowing about root and sudo in ubuntu? | 22:56 |
| DRebellion | bugspray: Blah: actually, gksudo | 22:56 |
| magnetron | bugspray: i think YOU are the one with a too extensive Transformer and Pokémon knowledge | 22:56 |
| Some_Person | Can we run Mac programs on ubunut? | 22:56 |
| dman | Blah: if you **really** need to log in as root,know the risks, and turn off your internet first. then search ubuntu forums for a tutorial. | 22:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jrib: I just sent off the latest upstreamdev log-modules to your email account. PM me when you have looked them over. Back later.. | 22:56 |

| lollo | well the last question: i've 3 partitions, 1 for linux and the other 2 for data storage ... These 2 partitions have the mount point in /media (as default) ... well, if i format Ubuntu i don't format these partitions i hope .. | 22:56 |
| dman | Some_Person: not that i know of, but i suspect there is a workaround if you really need to. | 22:57 |
| pablocpg | somebody know about sound bugs? | 22:57 |
| bugspray | magnetron: okay... so you got me. damn! (/me peers about nervously) - that's not a bad thing, is it? | 22:57 |

| SexyJames1337 | hi there everyone | 23:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | sybariten_2: You mean the GUI for Apt I belive. There are two: Synaptic (gnome) and Adept (KDE) | 23:29 |
| Shadow6363 | hi, im using gutsy and have a motherboard sata raid setup, how do i get it to work in ubuntu? | 23:29 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, , try using synaptic, you'll get a much more friendly listing | 23:29 |
| jimat | !libhal | 23:29 |
| bbc | I did the same, but it needs some KDE library I think | 23:29 |

| tc | hi, i have a weird font bug with gnome-terminal: Mono 9 displays nice in font selector but the letters are all squeezed when terminal updates; | 23:29 |

| syntaxerror55 | tc: Wow | 23:30 |
| mikegriffin | i am trying to resolve a dep for libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.2; i tried installing libxml2-utils libxml2-dev libxml2 with no luck on gutsy.. any advice? | 23:30 |
| syntaxerror55 | sybariten_2: what do you mean by the GNU for Apt. :| | 23:30 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, , what does gne screen do anyway, I'll try to find you tghe correct package name | 23:30 |
| SexyJames1337 | my brother's Windows is corrupted... i was considering installing ubuntu so he can use that instead. but ive never used linux. :P do you think we'd be able to work it out after a bit of practice? | 23:30 |
| syntaxerror55 | mikegriffin: what are you trying to install | 23:30 |
| sybariten_2 | this is so odd, i was totally sure it was either 1) installed from the beginning, or 2) called 'GNU Screen' in apt | 23:30 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: Yes. | 23:30 |
| Slart | SexyJames1337: yes.. | 23:30 |
| nemilar | SexyJames1337: takes some getting used to, but yeah | 23:30 |
| SexyJames1337 | cool | 23:30 |
| usr13_ | front-end for apt is Synaptic Package Manager. | 23:30 |
| sybariten_2 | syntaxerror55: huh... hmm i never wrote that... some misunderstanding somewhere perhaps | 23:30 |
| === andrey is now known as andbrug | ||
| Slart | SexyJames1337: we won't be able to cure whatever made you chose that nickname though.. you're on your own there ;) | 23:31 |
| SexyJames1337 | well ive made the cd ready, so i'll try it out tomorrow. i'll come back here if i need any help ;) is the installation fairly straight forward? | 23:31 |
| EricBlair | lol | 23:31 |
| mikegriffin | syntaxerror55: svn co of mysql workbench | 23:31 |
| overclucker | tc: what does mono 8 give you? | 23:31 |
| SexyJames1337 | haha, the name is kinda a joke | 23:31 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: uhm, its like a "windows manager" but for console ... you get something like... like subshells | 23:31 |
| tc | syntaxerror: it looks like it's linked to font resolution too... changing its value changes the font sizes which bug | 23:31 |
| Pelo | tc, looks to me like the spacing is off, try restarting the terminal it migth get corrected or try a bigger font like 10 | 23:31 |
| mikegriffin | syntaxerror55: it appears i have resolved all other deps | 23:31 |
| syntaxerror55 | sybariten_2: <sybariten_2> what is GNU Screen called in apt? | 23:31 |
| EricBlair | is it his brother's? | 23:31 |
| Slart | SexyJames1337: the only thing people tend to ask questions about is the partitioning | 23:31 |
| SexyJames1337 | oh right | 23:31 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: I'd say to wipe Windows as it is corrupted | 23:32 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, screenie a small and lightweight GNU screen(1) wrapper | 23:32 |
| SexyJames1337 | well i can't dual boot cos I'm not able to reinstall xp, so i just select use whole drive? or is it more complex than that? | 23:32 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, is that it ? | 23:32 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: shells that run in the background, or console instances... you can run ICQ or IRC there for instance, then you can detach, from the shell.... and the IRC or ICQ client keeps running in that shell/screen | 23:32 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: and just have Ubuntu take the whole drive. | 23:32 |
| Slart | SexyJames1337: I'd say use one big partition the first time... if you want you can change it later | 23:32 |
| SexyJames1337 | ok cool | 23:32 |
| tc | restarting terminal doesnt fix | 23:32 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: yep, thats a helper app, i found that one too... i've even used it in the past | 23:32 |
| tc | 8 looks bad too | 23:32 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: Yeah, the Live CD will guide you through it. It's easier then an XP Install(TM) | 23:32 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: (but as i said, itst just a helper app, for Screen...) | 23:32 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, ratpoison , keyboard-only window manager | 23:33 |
| SexyJames1337 | we have xp recovery discs, but have lost them. if we want to reinstall in the future should they be able to overwrite over ubuntu easily? thats if he's bothered about going back to windows... | 23:33 |
| sybariten_2 | syntaxerror55: that question meant "what is the correct package name for Screen" | 23:33 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: close, but no cigar.... | 23:33 |
| Slart | SexyJames1337: yes.. you can easily install something else over ubuntu.. it won't leave stains | 23:33 |
| syntaxerror55 | sybariten_2: ahhh...misunderstanding, I thought you wanted a "GNU Screen" (GUI) for using Apt | 23:33 |
| SexyJames1337 | nice. sorry, i play games and have a reasonably good pc but im not actually an expert at much tbh | 23:33 |
| sybariten_2 | pelo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 23:34 |
| sybariten_2 | syntaxerror55: ahhh... ok, no. "Screen" is just a name. | 23:34 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, that's all I can find in the repos that matches your request | 23:34 |
| BodOmLaW | do you know if my logitech usb headset will work in ubuntu? | 23:34 |
| SexyJames1337 | ok, thanks for your help, i'll try it out tomorrow. | 23:34 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: yeah, me too. This is so odd. This is a very widespread and "standard" unix tool | 23:34 |

| overclucker | !screen | 23:35 |
| SexyJames1337 | yeh im not playing games on the ubuntu pc, that's just my brothers. i have my own with Vista :P | 23:35 |

| Gun_Smoke | who wrote the bot line for root? | 23:35 |
| BodOmLaW | vista shouldnt be used for games either | 23:35 |
| syntaxerror55 | sybariten_2: ah. I thought your english was just bad | 23:35 |
| Slart | syntaxerror55: I'd say some games work with wine/cedega.. and even some of those work badly =) | 23:35 |
| SexyJames1337 | lol im guessing Vista is a dirty word around here | 23:35 |
| BodOmLaW | Vista=Bad | 23:35 |
| syntaxerror55 | !vista | SexyJames1337 | 23:35 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, I have screen a monjtor multiplexer fowith terminal emulation via vt100/ansi | 23:35 |
| ubot3 | SexyJames1337: vista is the new 'operating system' by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows | 23:35 |
| SexyJames1337 | it doesnt work that badly for me at all :D | 23:35 |
| SexyJames1337 | its just no better than xp | 23:35 |
| SexyJames1337 | in any way | 23:35 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 23:36 |
| Gun_Smoke | I assume it was written for noobs right.. And not actually trying to be truthful? | 23:36 |
| BodOmLaW | xp is the best windows at the moment | 23:36 |

| BodOmLaW | deosnt was to much resourses | 23:36 |
| Slart | BodOmLaW: vista is just another os.. try to keep emotions out of it | 23:36 |
| BodOmLaW | i keep my emotions out | 23:36 |

| SexyJames1337 | ive heard of a lot of people having vista problems... i guess ive been lucky cos I haven't really had any | 23:36 |

| BodOmLaW | anyways | 23:37 |
| BodOmLaW | do you know if my logitech usb headset will work in ubuntu? | 23:37 |
| achilles | hi, i just installed ubuntu 7.10 dvd once installed all i got was a base installation how do i install the rest of the software that comes with the dvd? thanks | 23:37 |
| neverblue | BodOmLaW, probably | 23:37 |

| MasterShrek | xGeek, vista sp1 is out now? | 23:37 |

| Slart | !ot | 23:38 |
| MasterShrek | oh beta | 23:38 |
| neverblue | achilles, the Ubuntu guide is great help, try googling 'ubuntu guide' it helps with package selection | 23:38 |
| === tumbleweed__ is now known as _b_ | ||

| Slart | ubotu?.. sleeping on the job? | 23:38 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: Vista is like any other operating system, except it has bugs and viruses, and half the RAM is to monitor if you're pirating software or music. That's why we hate it. | 23:38 |
| iari | Is there a way to run a windows emulator under Ubuntu? if I want to connect to a Checkpoint? or run a windows' only software ... | 23:38 |

| jlulian38 | How do you view information on your alsa configuration? | 23:38 |
| SexyJames1337 | i see what you mean syntaxerror | 23:38 |
| Slart | iari: there's wine.. or virtualbox.. or qemu | 23:38 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: well, it wasnt installed here, dont know why... its a fresh but lightweithgt ubuntu install... and i found the package and installed it, it was just called 'screen' so i dont know what i was thinking, sorry to bother | 23:38 |
| Pelo | achilles, and btw that's not even close to what you can get from the repos, those aer just the universe and main repos, goto , menu < system< sotware sources, check all the boxes on the firts tab and the backport box on the third tab , the reload | 23:39 |
| sybariten_2 | pelo: it was easier when i grepped for "multiplex" | 23:39 |
| neverblue | iari, Wine will allow you to run Windows software in linux, try asking about it in #winehq | 23:39 |
| iari | Slart: Which one would you recommend ? | 23:39 |
| achilles | pelo thanks since i dont have an active connection i got the dvd instead of the cd:) | 23:39 |
| soldats | Slart, apparently ubotu will be away for a while but ubot3 is here but probly a little slower | 23:39 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: seriously, try Ubuntu, and you'll fall in love to the point where you'll put it on your computer. :D | 23:39 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, no bother, your query got me to research wsometing I wasn't familiar with , I learned something | 23:39 |
| Slart | iari: depends on what you're going to use it for... what kind of software? | 23:39 |
| iari | neverblue: Thanks | 23:39 |
| SexyJames1337 | haha. | 23:39 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: (BTW, try it... there are small tutorials... once you learn it, and if you do some SSH work on occasion, its super duper practical) | 23:40 |
| Slart | soldats: oh... so we got a temp =) | 23:40 |
| iari | Slart: Checkpoint VPN, some Trading platforms | 23:40 |
| Pelo | achilles, well take note of this link then it will get you more packages if you need them that you can dl and install from a usb drive and such, www.getdeb.net | 23:40 |
| soldats | yep | 23:40 |
| neverblue | sybariten_2, what is ? | 23:40 |
| SexyJames1337 | i have used knoppix a little (the one you boot off cd) I used it to transfer all my bros files onto an external hd after his windows corrupted | 23:40 |
| sybariten_2 | neverblue: google GNU screen | 23:40 |
| Pelo | sybariten_2, I'm just a basic home user atm, but i'll keep it in mind | 23:40 |
| Shadow6363 | anyone know anything about using hardware raid in gutsy? | 23:40 |
| sybariten_2 | Pelo: ok | 23:40 |
| Slart | iari: start with wine.. it's a lot easier on the hardware.. software runs faster.. virtualbox, qemu and the other emulate a full windows machine... which means it'll be a lot slower | 23:41 |
| achilles | pelo wow awesome i will use this alot:) | 23:41 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: You can also boot Ubuntu from CD to try it. And, god, why did you choose that name? | 23:41 |

| neverblue | necrotic, using onboard as the primary? | 23:46 |
| mdmkolbe|work | I keep loosing sound when firefox crashes. Is there a way to restart the sound system without rebooting the machine? (I've got apps running I'd rather not have to save/restart.) This is on ubunty 7.10. | 23:46 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: There's an option when you put it in and the computer boots it. | 23:46 |
| necrotic | neverblue: not right now im not, but i did try that | 23:46 |
| SexyJames1337 | ah, useful | 23:46 |
| Pelo | necrotic, run the reconfigure command again and select the vesa driver, that will at least get you back a gui | 23:46 |
| Shadow6363 | exit | 23:46 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: when you get the CD, trust me, all this will become very clear | 23:46 |
| mikegriffin | Pelo: $ apt-cache search libxml | awk '{print $1}' | grep libxml | wc -l = 100 | 23:46 |
| Shadow6363 | woops | 23:47 |
| neverblue | necrotic, maybe you xorg.conf isnt setup at the corect refresh rate, etc... maybe the reconfig will help | 23:47 |
| Pelo | mikegriffin, do you have a gui ? use synaptic to search for libxml | 23:47 |
| SexyJames1337 | ok cool. also, seeing as I am a noob to irc as well, how do you reply to a person like you are replying to me? is there an easier way than typing it out? | 23:47 |

| wyseur | anybody has an idea how to solve this : ohci1394: fw-host0: SelfID received, but NodeID invalid | 23:53 |
| bruenig | alsa-utils just saves and restores alsa levels | 23:53 |

| Pelo | soldierboy, #kubuntu may also be an option but remember that not all channels are as well attended as this one, patience is required | 23:55 |
| Pelo | soldierboy, also try googling the error msg | 23:55 |
| bruenig | restarting alsa would include modprobing stuff I would have to think | 23:55 |
