| Pelo | bbc, try typing kdevelop in the terminal see what happens | 00:07 |
| Pelo | DrMuffin, why do you want to do that ? | 00:07 |
| DrMuffin | So that it can boot straight into my Ubuntu? | 00:07 |
| luc_ | Any images for putting Ubuntu on the PS3? | 00:07 |
| nemilar | mdmkolbe|work: you can use lsof | grep /dev/dsp or grep for /dev/snd to see what's using the sound device... you'll probably see some application hanging around that you closed a while ago | 00:07 |
| bbc | Pelo: it just does nothing in terminal also | 00:08 |
| nemilar | mdmkolbe|work: flash and xmms seem to like to do it a lot | 00:08 |

| luc_ | *compile | 00:08 |
| Pelo | DrMuffin, ok try this instead, hide the menu and shorten the delay to 3 sec or something , edit the menu.lst file to do that but do not remove the options, gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 00:08 |
| Pelo | bbc, open synaptic and reinstall | 00:08 |

| dimas_ | pelo i dont know where is wine even | 00:09 |
| Pelo | DrMuffin, if you don'T do anyting while it boots does it eventualy get to ubuntu ? | 00:10 |

| Pelo | dimas_, .... , lets start from scratch shall we ? | 00:10 |

| Pelo | DrMuffin, you might also want to tell ubuntu to loginto your user name at boot by default, menu > system> ADMIN > LOGIN windows > 3rd tab I think | 00:11 |
| quittt | it is vey bizarre, what can be making this? | 00:11 |
| jrib | illuminaris: what is the result of: dpkg -L ktimer | grep bin | 00:12 |
| syntaxerror55 | quittt: when the boot is over you still get into Ubuntu? | 00:12 |
| illuminaris | package ktimer is not installed | 00:12 |

| mdmkolbe|work | nemilar: thx, that fixed it after I killed the processes and did an /etc/init.d/alsa-utils reset. Evince (the document viewer) and openoffice where holding the file open though neigher of them actually uses sound (!!). | 00:15 |

| ubuntuisloved | i need help trying to login to see my desktop using vncserver but not having anyluck? i know i also setup vino but now im only able to ssh into my box remotely and i wanna get vnc working? | 00:29 |
| K_Nine | Decinoge: Should be in the file save as. | 00:29 |
| Dr_willis | Tygir, then you are not spawnign it proerly to the background. I use exit all the time. and it works properly | 00:29 |
| Scunizi | Decinoge, I thought gimp defaulted at 8 bit.. am I wrong? if I am what's the default? | 00:29 |
| Dr_willis | Tygir, you could use alt-f2 and run compiz --replace | 00:29 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Phoenix92x: what did you use to back it up? x.264? | 00:29 |
| Tygir | pawsmacke1: ahh i got it that time...the exit command worked...here is my other question..how can i ensure that it always starts with boot? | 00:29 |
| Decinoge | 32bit as default, it has alpha and only 32 bit png has alpha | 00:29 |
| bbc | Scunizi, pawsmacke1: can I open .pst in zimbra or kontact? | 00:30 |
| mohadib | hello | 00:30 |
| Decinoge | (and 24bit if i'm not mistaken) | 00:30 |
| Scunizi | bbc, you | 00:30 |
| Phoenix92x | jeffMASTERflex: VC-1 | 00:30 |
| mohadib | how can i make crontab -e use vim and not pico? | 00:30 |
| pawsmacke1 | bbc, zimbra is comparable to exchange, so it works with everything, import as well | 00:30 |
| ubuntuisloved | mohadib: export editor option | 00:30 |
| bbc | pawsmacke1: cool | 00:30 |
| K_Nine | Decinoge: There is a dedicated Gimp IRC type /join #Gimp | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis | mohadib, check the crontab man page. You set an enviroment variable to be the editor you want. | 00:31 |
| Decinoge | i did... | 00:31 |
| pawsmacke1 | bbc, think zimbra as exchange on a browser | 00:31 |
| Jangari | can I add a sshfs mount to my fstab or something ot have it mount automatically? | 00:31 |
| Decinoge | no one awswers | 00:31 |
| Jangari | to* | 00:31 |
| mohadib | thanks both of you "_ | 00:31 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Phoenix92x: not familiar with that. Have you tried using VLC or Mplayer to play the file? | 00:31 |
| tumbleweed05 | i love compiz fusion. | 00:31 |
| ubuntuisloved | mohadib: export EDITOR=vim | 00:31 |
| danc3 | mohadib: export EDITOR='/usr/bin/vim' | 00:31 |
| Scunizi | bbc, your talking about the outlook file? There are three ways to import for kontact or Evolution. Import first into thunderbird then the others or sync with something like Yahoo calendar/email then export or just do a csv export of contacts then import. | 00:31 |
| bahadunn | anyone know why some internet radio stations just seemed to stop working recently? | 00:31 |
| mohadib | nice :) thanks :) | 00:31 |
| LetsGo67 | My time is constantly 6 hours late, can someone help me fix this please? (I am using xubuntu) | 00:31 |
| Phoenix92x | jeffMASTERflex: it's not just one file, it's a directory. No compression. | 00:32 |
| danc3 | LetsGo67: set your BIOS clock to local time | 00:32 |
| ubuntuisloved | LetsGo67: change to your region in timezone | 00:32 |
| Paolinho | LetsGo67, change timezone | 00:32 |
| bahadunn | amarok and rythmbox will not play certain internet radio stations | 00:32 |
| pawsmacke1 | bah, middle east and india have limited internet backbone atm | 00:32 |
| Phoenix92x | I've tried opening the folder with VLC/mplayer but that doesn't work | 00:32 |
| bbc | Scunize: thanks | 00:32 |
| syntaxerror55 | !timezone | LetsGo67 | 00:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about timezone - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:32 |
| syntaxerror55 | LetsGo67: oh, just type tzconfig | 00:32 |
| mohadib | do i need to put that in my profile? i would like it to be system wide and not have to redo it | 00:32 |
| Paolinho | !ntpdate | LetsGo67 | 00:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ntpdate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:32 |
| danc3 | mohadib: put it in ~/.bash_profile | 00:32 |
| Scunizi | bbc sure.. I had the same issues. I found evo works ok.. kontact has more features like being able to add fields.. | 00:32 |
| LetsGo67 | syntaxerror55, I cannot launch tzconfig | 00:33 |
| mohadib | danc3: ok , thanks | 00:33 |

| ubuntuisloved | !vnc | 00:35 |
| crazy_bus | is there anyway to make kubuntu mount the sansa e200 player properly. It sometimes allows write access and sometimes doesn't | 00:35 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:35 |
| ene_dene | Dr_willis: I know that there is also an option in KDE to download wallpapers. People vote for best wallpapers and you can download them from some kind of database, do you know an aplication for gnome that does the same thing? | 00:35 |
| freyyr | exit | 00:36 |
| seanh | Anyone know an easy way to convert FLAC to OGG? | 00:36 |
| freyyr | whoops | 00:36 |
| Dr_willis | ene_dene, seen somthing like that. it got wallpapers from gnome-look.org but i dont use it. or rember its name.. search the package manager for 'wallpaper' perhaps. | 00:36 |
| histo | seanh: ffmpeg probably would do it. | 00:36 |
| jeffMASTERflex | seanh: install an app called soundconverter | 00:36 |
| Scunizi | Decinoge, did you find an answer? I'm sure you have a reason for doing it. I'm curious why? | 00:36 |
| histo | seanh: ffmpeg -i whatever final.ogg | 00:36 |
| K_Nine | crazy_bus: I think you have to change the mode in sansa players. Maybe MTS? | 00:37 |
| histo | seanh: -i being the input file and then just type the output file after that. | 00:37 |
| jeffMASTERflex | seanh: it's a gui tool that is very easy to use | 00:37 |
| ene_dene | Dr_willis: that will help, thanks | 00:37 |
| LetsGo67 | syntaxerror55, thanks | 00:37 |
| seanh | histo -- hmmm... what if there are lots of input files? | 00:37 |
| neurostumit | does anybody know if you can get gtkglext-1.2 in a deb file for ubuntu? | 00:37 |
| jeffMASTERflex | seanh: use sound converter. it can do entire directories | 00:38 |
| histo | seanh: and you want them all to one output file? | 00:38 |
| K_Nine | crazy_bus: Try this link http://www.howtoforge.com/sandisk_mp3_player_linux | 00:38 |
| histo | seanh: if you man ffmpeg or look around on google i'm sure you can find exactly what you want to do. | 00:38 |
| rpj8 | Do I *need* avahi daemon? | 00:39 |
| neurostumit | does anybody know where I can find gtkglext-1.2 in a DEB file? | 00:39 |
| seanh | jeffMASTERflex - looks good, installing | 00:39 |
| Sergo21 | how is possible to known how much RAM azureus consume? | 00:39 |
| seanh | histo -- no one output file per input file. I'm gonna try soundconverter | 00:39 |
| Dr_willis | Sergo21, check output of the htop or top command is one way. | 00:39 |

| Dr_willis | Tygir, emerald-theme-manager | 00:40 |
| Tygir | Dr_willis: yes, but where inside the prog? | 00:40 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Sergo21: the nice gui way is to use system monitor | 00:40 |

| rpj8 | Do I *need* avahi daemon? | 00:41 |
| lildunn34 | how do i figure out what server this is? | 00:41 |
| Dr_willis | Tygir, Hmm.. Mine has a list of themes.. You may have to read/run the commands it mentions on the first tab - to download the svn themes. | 00:41 |
| LadyNikon | lildunn34: the irc server? | 00:41 |
| lildunn34 | is this the official irc.freenode.net | 00:41 |
| drunkmuppet | yes | 00:41 |
| danc3 | rpj8: no | 00:41 |
| drunkmuppet | no | 00:42 |
| Tygir | Dr_willis: i see what you mean...and i have the list of themes...but if i click on one how do i enable the theme to use it? | 00:42 |
| theunixgeek | lildunn34: yes | 00:42 |
| lildunn34 | ok thanks | 00:42 |
| drunkmuppet | yes :D | 00:42 |
| LadyNikon | there is an unofficial one? | 00:42 |
| ubuntuisloved | anyone know how i can remotely from command line activate vncserver it says starting but then even i cannot do a telnet 127.0.0.1 5900 or 5901 in ssh'd | 00:42 |
| Dr_willis | Tygir, you did run 'emerald --replace' ? | 00:42 |
| lildunn34 | no just thinking it was a channel on a different server | 00:42 |
| rpj8 | danc3: Then why bother including it with the default install of ubuntu? I never seem to use it ever | 00:42 |
| Gidean | Hi. I just installed command only 7.10 and then xorg and icewm...when I startx the screen goes black then returns the error: no screens found XIO: fatal IO erroe 104 *snip* and then returns to the cmd prompt... | 00:42 |

| LadyNikon | lildunn34: ah ok | 00:42 |

| Dr_willis | Tygir, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion for some troubleshooting tips | 00:42 |

| Gidean | I checked /etc/X11/xorg.conf and all lokks ok.. | 00:43 |
| jeffMASTERflex | rpj8: avahi is a zero configuration service for netwrok discovery. i don't think you absolutely need it, but it's what is used to automatically detect network shares and printers | 00:43 |
| danbhfive | theunixgeek: I have heard complaints about the Dell preinstalls, there maybe some config package on sourceforge? | 00:44 |
| tokok | how you can control HDDs' caching strategy? | 00:44 |
| rpj8 | danc3: True enough. I just wish that I understood what exactly is the use of avahi. I mean I'm reading from the main site and it's kinda written with a higher understanding of netwroking in mind that I just dont understand | 00:44 |
| neurostumit | lildunn34 - The Orielly series are good, but you mostly just need to play with linux | 00:44 |
| Gidean | anyone? | 00:44 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: Automatically detect network shares? Isn't that samba? | 00:44 |
| danc3 | rpj8: it discovers other machines on the network, to assist with file and printer sharing | 00:44 |
| neurostumit | you need to find something you want to do and just google it. | 00:44 |
| neurostumit | i've been using linux for about 4 months (its been hard) but I have learned alot | 00:44 |
| rpj8 | danc3: How do I *use* it | 00:44 |
| jeffMASTERflex | rpj8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_(software) | 00:45 |
| rpj8 | danc3: Nevermind, that's a man question | 00:45 |
| Gidean | Any xorg experts? | 00:45 |
| tokok | how you can control HDDs' caching strategy? -- like disabling write cache | 00:45 |
| lildunn34 | neurostumit: ive learned a lot playing around but i want a cram course more so on terminal controls and overall structure | 00:45 |
| danbhfive | theunixgeek: http://sourceforge.net/projects/lc4ul/ | 00:45 |

| benanzo | Can I download a file over HTTP directly to an FTP account I have on another server? I don't have shell access on the FTP account, it's just a cheap hosting site | 00:46 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: And I don't want to remove it just in case it's some vital pillar keeping my network connection afloat | 00:46 |
| benanzo | I want to download a podcast from an RSS feed directly to the FTP account | 00:46 |
| theunixgeek | Any more information on the Dell Ubuntu sound problems? | 00:46 |
| benanzo | can curl or something do this? | 00:47 |
| lildunn34 | neurostumit: i understand what you saying and google topics that interest me | 00:47 |
| lildunn34 | thanks | 00:47 |
| jeffMASTERflex | rpj8: samba is used to communicate with windows network shares. avahi is a general system. i wouldn't remove it because apparently it integrated with gnomes VFS | 00:47 |
| astro76 | lildunn34: these should get you started... http://www.tldp.org/LDP/GNU-Linux-Tools-Summary/html/index.html http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html | 00:47 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: I don't use gnome, though. I installed a cli system and installed fluxbox on top | 00:47 |
| danbhfive | benanzo: I dont think you can do that. You would have to login to the ftp serve, right? | 00:47 |
| Flannel | benanzo: curl would require you to have a shell account on the ftp account thing. No amount of scripting will remove you from the equation, it'll just make it less visible for you. | 00:47 |
| tussey | is there anyway to change the power management feature to shutdown instead of sleep or hibernate? Both sleep and hibernate do not work properly on my desktop machine. The machine never wakes up | 00:48 |
| alsadk | whats about "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data foun", what can i do? | 00:48 |
| jeffMASTERflex | rpj8: then you probably don't need it. it's used by KDE and gnome, but if you use another system for network discovery (like manually adding network shares) then it doesn't really matter. | 00:48 |
| benanzo | So I'm stuck downloading then uploading to FTP then? | 00:48 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: I don't even think I 'add network shares' at all. | 00:49 |

| Scunizi | Decinoge, try the gimp channel.. probably more fruitfull. | 00:52 |
| Decinoge | Scunizi: sorry for the delay, i'm kinda absorved in my search | 00:52 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: I was reading that before, and it was just a tad over my head. I know it's for discovering computers on the network now, but I don't think I've ever done that outside of samba. I guess I can't imagine a situation in which it would be used | 00:52 |
| alsadk | whats about "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.", what can i do? | 00:52 |

| mnemonica | After I installed a wacom graphire4 tablet, my synaptics touchpad vert scrolled stopped working. Help? | 00:53 |
| jeffMASTERflex | rpj8: imagine you had a network attached printer to your router. avahi would be the one to recognize the printer automatically so that it can be added to CUPS. Same with a NAS deviced attached to your local network | 00:54 |
| Skwid1 | what filesystem do you guys suggest ?? | 00:54 |
| LjL | Skwid1: ext3 | 00:54 |
| K_Nine | Skwid1: Ext3 | 00:54 |
| Dr_willis | Skwid1, for most people ext3 works fine. | 00:54 |
| theunixgeek | How can I get a bigger screen resolution? | 00:54 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: I see. And how would the NAS device be recognized? If the printer is recognized with cups, that is... also avahi = dbus, just over the network? | 00:55 |
| Skwid1 | alright, that's what i thought, it has been a while since i installed and i was wondering if there were any changes, thanks LjL, K_Nine and Dr_willis | 00:55 |

| mnemonica | Hey. After I installed a wacom graphire4 tablet, my synaptics touchpad vert scrolled stopped working. Help? | 00:55 |
| jeffMASTERflex | rpj8: basically. it's like dbus for the network. actually, i think it might pass to dbus, not sure. haven't buried deep enough to find out really | 00:55 |
| histo | ePax: man unrar will show you all the options. | 00:56 |
| Kitar|st | http://wiresmash.com/amazing/amazing-lego-artist/ | 00:56 |

| Skwid1 | and on a 120Go HD, if i split up / and /home, how much should i leave for / for a confortable install ? 10go, 20go ? | 00:56 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: I read that it does, indeed, pass to dbus | 00:56 |
| K_Nine | ePax: Do you have rar installed. | 00:56 |
| ePax | histo: It does but its kinda 100 options. | 00:56 |
| onats | i think 10g is fine | 00:56 |
| ePax | K_Nine: I do have it installed. | 00:56 |
| histo | ePax: e is the first option listed for extract to current directory | 00:56 |
| rpj8 | jeffMASTERflex: I apologize for my quizing. I swear I read these man pages, but sometimes the things in them are just over my head... I need like, a situation specific example for these programs in order to understand what they are haha | 00:56 |
| iKap| | Hey, Nothing i minimize to the "icon tray" shows up there, how can i fix it!?!? | 00:57 |
| histo | ePax: or you just type unrar without options to see a display of them | 00:57 |

| jeffMASTERflex | K_Nine: you should definitely have the man for both rar and unrar once installed | 00:59 |
| histo | ePax: if you type unrar with nothing in terminal you will see what I mean. | 01:00 |
| macgruber | histo, i already do that, and reboot several times.. | 01:00 |
| K_Nine | histo: I found it, just type rar in a terminal. not unrar or man rar or unrar. | 01:00 |

| ePax | Now another question. Where do i download playstation emulator bios and how do I start PBP games? | 01:01 |
| mouseboyx | Can someone help me with an ajax script i have http://pastebin.com/mc12f93b and it does nothing, it should alert the contents of http://www.google.com/ | 01:01 |

| jeffMASTERflex | mouseboyx: wrong channel. try an ajax, ecmascript or javascript channel | 01:02 |

| benanzo | I wonder why wget is doing this? | 01:03 |
| smallfoot- | it said "update is 400 megabyte, it will take 50 minutes on high-speed internet or 50 hours on dial-up", and i clicked "next" and it said "1 minute remaining, 9300 kbyte/s downloading" | 01:03 |

| drunkmuppet | yes | 01:07 |
| LjL | drunkmuppet: then it's probably right, i guess the cause must be somewhere else | 01:07 |

| LjL | drunkmuppet: if you want... not sure i can think of anything else than the DPI though | 01:08 |
| jeffMASTERflex | mouseboyx: you are in the wrong channel. this is ubuntu support. try an ajax, ecmascript or javascript channel | 01:08 |
| drunkmuppet | alright | 01:08 |

| Tygir | nevermind...i got it | 01:13 |
| overclucker | or whatever channel its called | 01:14 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Kloss: if you have a regular uiversal mass storage device, use any file manager to transfer files. | 01:14 |
| LjL | chris__: "connecting to your server" you mean the web frontend? | 01:14 |
| Kloss | linxeh: shell prompt is no good for me. :) and file managers do not recognize it. i had a little application once installed. | 01:14 |
| chris__ | yeah | 01:14 |
| lanzelloth_ | how do i mount cd images? uif in particular | 01:14 |
| gortba | Does anyone know about dual booting? | 01:14 |

| lanzelloth_ | K_Nine: aren? | 01:15 |
| K_Nine | lanzelloth aren't uif proprietary to "magic iso's" ? | 01:15 |

| thomas__ | whats new wih ubuntu? | 01:15 |
| Kloss | linxeh: you know a solution? | 01:15 |
| lanzelloth_ | K_Nine: hmm, i think so | 01:15 |
| jeffMASTERflex | uif and daa are horrible proprietary image formats. sorry you got stuck with those | 01:16 |
| overclucker | Jay955: what are you doing to look for it? | 01:16 |
| gortba | Ok. Currently I have two HDD both with autonomous systems. One of them windows, the second is linux. I can't get grub to boot the windows disk. As of right now the only way for me to boot the windows disk is to change the boot order in BIOS each time. | 01:16 |
| === thomas__ is now known as TT | ||
| overclucker | Jay955: sudo fdisk -l ? | 01:16 |
| K_Nine | lanzelloth go back to your bittorrent site and try to find a different file. | 01:16 |
| gortba | How do I get grub to boot the Windows disk? I've altered grub many times and can't figure it out. | 01:16 |
| lanzelloth_ | uif FTL | 01:17 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, where is the windows disk at? theres an example grub entry in menu.lst for windows on hda1 | 01:17 |
| K_Nine | Well, now i have unrar. Thanks. | 01:17 |
| linxeh | Kloss: I stopped buying creative stuff a long time ago. too many bad experience wrt drivers and their attitude to floss support | 01:17 |
| exclampoint | y is ubuntu so hard to use | 01:17 |
| Kloss | floss? | 01:18 |
| Jay955 | i see it in the partion editor but i don't see it in computer folder in order to mount it | 01:18 |
| linxeh | Kloss: sorry I don't have a solution for you though. songbird might do what you need | 01:18 |
| drunkmuppet | I am running xubuntu in vmware and all of my system text is very small. Is there a way to change this. Here is a screenshot of the problem. http://i26.tinypic.com/2074zte.jpg | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | exclampoint, i dont find it hard to use at all. It pay to spend an hr or 2 and read up on linux basics. | 01:18 |
| gortba | Dr_willis It's hdc right now. | 01:18 |
| linxeh | Kloss: floss = free/libre/open source | 01:18 |
| Kloss | linxeh: ok. :-) i will let you know when i managed it. :-) | 01:18 |
| overclucker | Jay955: can you open a console? | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, you need to uncomment/edit that example entry with the proper hd(#.#) option. and it should boot it. | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, Grub is one of those tools that its worth while to learn all about. It has a lot of neat features, and details. | 01:19 |
| chris__ | ljl i only get the error when i try to do something... | 01:19 |
| TT | What do i need to do to put my home directory on /mnt/sdb1 | 01:20 |
| chris__ | ljl i see the front end, but if i browse a page i cant do anything, it does not ask me to login :( | 01:20 |
| LjL | !cupsweb > chris__ (chris__, see the private message from Ubotu) | 01:20 |
| gortba | Ok. That's what I thought. So I think the problem is that I don't have hd(#.#) correct. How do I find out which drive Windows is on? | 01:20 |
| gortba | I assumed since it was hdc that it would be (hd2, 0) right? | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, check --> cat /boot/grub/device.map | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, grub ignores cdrom/dvd/optical drives in its numbering scheme | 01:21 |
| benanzo | OK I got 'wget http://www.url.com/file -O - | curl -T - ftp://www.server.com/file' to work. I'm curious how this is working since my download speed is about 600KB/s but upload is only about 40KB/s -- does wget throttle down the speed? Or does wget just stop while curl is uploading? | 01:21 |
| Jay955 | open console ?? | 01:21 |
| gortba | ok checking | 01:21 |
| exclampoint | Dr_willis: well it is. I also think it's a scamm, my friend said linux was great and that I should wipe windows for it, so I did but games dont work and he said try wine so I did but I dont get it | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | if hdc is the only disk - it may very well be hd0 | 01:21 |
| chris__ | LjL, cups is already a member of shadow... | 01:21 |
| drunk | why is my system font so tiny >_< | 01:21 |
| edson | hi guys | 01:21 |
| thesis | i deleted my panel and now cannot get my madwifi panel icon back, only the network work manager panel icon which does not show my wireless networks, doh! | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | exclampoint, to each their own. I dont find games to be the end-all-thing for my needs. If i want to game i reboot to windows. If i want to do work/videos/other stuff I use linux. | 01:22 |
| linxeh | benanzo: that depends on your internet connection. ADSL download will tend to die big time when uploading. here in the UK cable doesnt seem to suffer so badly unless saturated | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | exclampoint, no one is forceing you to use linux. But its so handy to know, i have rescued many a windows system by using my Linux skills. | 01:22 |
| edson | Which the file that I set the login screen? | 01:22 |
| TT | Hi everyone | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | I made $40 last week rescueing a windows system. :) using a Linux Live cd. | 01:22 |
| exclampoint | Dr_willis: how do I get back Windows!? i dont have the recovery disk :( | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | exclampoint, no idea. Depends on what you did. | 01:23 |
| TT | reinstall | 01:23 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: contact your pc manufacturer and buy one. or take it back to the store | 01:23 |
| LjL | chris__: weird, it isn't for me. | 01:23 |
| nat6138 | exclampoint: Get a windows disk and format. | 01:23 |
| K_Nine | exclampoint: you will have to call your machine vendor and pay for cd's. | 01:23 |
| exclampoint | K_Nine: thats not fair | 01:23 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: welcome to the evil world of microsoft | 01:23 |
| nemilar | You will have to "obtain" a Windows CD, exclampoint | 01:23 |
| gortba | Dr_willis: sdc (window HDD) is not shown when I do cat /boot/grub/device.map | 01:23 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: why is that not fair? thats what you get for buying a cheap pc | 01:24 |
| gortba | What does that mean? | 01:24 |
| K_Nine | exclampoint: if you have a windows sticker on your machine, a good repair shop can reinstall without the disc and make a copy. | 01:24 |
| TT | I need help moving my home folder to /mnt/sdb1 | 01:24 |
| drunk | Ok, I changed my system font size and now window fonts are HUGE and task menu are normal :( | 01:24 |
| benanzo | linxeh: I'm on cable so I don't think the saturation is a problem. I just curious how wget and curl are negotiating since wget downloads so much faster than curl can upload. Is it just being cached? I see the wget is only getting it at about 40KB/s which is about what curl should be uploading as, but I can't see where to look at that since I only see wget's output | 01:24 |
| exclampoint | K_Nine: windows sticker? you mean the cereal number rite | 01:24 |
| gortba | Dr_willis: I know it's /dev/sdc because that's what fdisk tells me | 01:24 |
| Jay955 | <overclucker> bare with me i'm new to this you said open consol ??? | 01:24 |
| drunkmuppet | LoL im int mirc twice :) | 01:24 |
| edson | Which the file that I set the login screen from gnome? | 01:25 |
| ATG | chan.org | 01:25 |
| K_Nine | exclampoint: There should be sticker on your machine with your windows number. | 01:25 |
| nemilar | edson: you can set that up through the GUI | 01:25 |
| nemilar | edson: System - Administration - Login Window | 01:25 |
| linxeh | benanzo: it will only download as fast as your upload can go | 01:25 |
| benanzo | OK that makes sense | 01:25 |
| benanzo | thanks | 01:25 |
| usr13_ | exclampoint: K_Nine: Or you can borrow a MS CD and do it yourself, but then, will needo to download or somehow acquire a bunch of driver software, etc. But it's doable, (if the sticker is there with the KEY. | 01:25 |
| exclampoint | K_Nine: i have that sticker yes | 01:26 |
| Kloss | linxeh: yes. it is working with this software: gnomad2. see also: http://blog.sebastianboettger.net/2006/08/16/creative-zen-micro-photo-geht-doch-mit-linux/ | 01:26 |
| linxeh | benanzo: :) I tend to download the file first, then upload it. saves pain when something goes wrong | 01:26 |
| usr13_ | But, wait... this isn't a MS channel... Is it? | 01:26 |
| linxeh | Kloss: nice one :) | 01:26 |
| K_Nine | exclampoint: Then try one of the above. | 01:26 |
| Kloss | linxeh: BAM!!! | 01:26 |
| linxeh | Kloss: are you liking the ubuntu experience so far ? | 01:26 |
| exclampoint | but how come my friedn told me to use this he must have some sense right?? its like i just made more work for myself | 01:27 |
| benanzo | linxeh: yes I think I will do that instead of using the pipe -- I want wget to be able to -c the dl if it dies which I wouldn't be able to do otherwise | 01:27 |
| breezznl | Hi- New user of Gutsy Gibben. Has anyon been able to install an Epson Stylus DX8450? I have downloaded the software for linux from epson site and have installed it in every which way I can figure. I still cannot scan. I can print B&W. | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, you may want to put it in there then. as (hd2) /dev/hdc | 01:27 |

| usr13_ | exclampoint: But if you have Ubuntu, you should not need MS any more. Right? | 01:28 |
| Blunter | I just installed uBuntu, going to My computer, I had my secondary drive, but doubled clicked it and it wouldnt open | 01:28 |
| gortba | Dr_willis: yes I do. One is unallocated. | 01:28 |
| Kloss | linxeh: generally i like linux and also ubuntu. but compared to my former wind*ws system ubuntu lacks a lot of drivers. | 01:28 |
| edson | Installed Ubuntu now little, but the fields that I type login and password, the sources are enormous! Somebody Help? | 01:28 |
| Blunter | It said cant mount disk | 01:28 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: bear in mind that linux is different than windows. it takes a while to get accustomed to it | 01:28 |
| Blunter | does anyone know why? | 01:28 |
| nemilar | what's the channel for portugese ubuntu ? | 01:28 |
| linxeh | Kloss: ah yeah, thats the hardware companies fault though. I've always tended to buy hardware that works on many operating systems deliberately | 01:28 |
| exclampoint | usr13: i thought it was gonna be like a windows replacement :) except fater and w/o viruses. my friend said its a diff operating sys | 01:28 |

| usr13_ | Blunter: You talking about reading the Linux drive from MS Windows? | 01:28 |
| K_Nine | exclampoint: Cedega wil allow you to play some Windoze games. | 01:28 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: it is a windows replacement | 01:28 |
| exclampoint | linxeh: whatever | 01:29 |
| benanzo | Anyone have an idea what would be faster latency-wise: transfer over SSH with scp or over SMB -- I think both have quite a bit of overhead right? | 01:29 |
| Blunter | usr13: Yes | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, you may want to have entries for all your hds in there. hda = (hd0), hdb = (hd1), hdc=(hd2) | 01:29 |
| exclampoint | linxeh: it isnt without games, is it? | 01:29 |
| Blunter | It is a secondary drive I used on windows as a backup.. with data etc | 01:29 |
| benanzo | This is on a wifi-g LAN | 01:29 |
| usr13_ | Blunter: MS Windows reads only a few different filesystems. | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | Theres a great many games native to linux. Savage2 is comming out soon also. | 01:29 |
| Blunter | it was labeled "BackUp" I double clicked it on the file browser, and it said cant mount | 01:29 |
| Kloss | linxeh: i also bought a all in one hardware which should work, but it isnot, at least not completely. :( | 01:29 |
| K_Nine | breezznl: Are there drivers for that machine on the HP site? | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | Or is Savage2 allready out? | 01:29 |
| exclampoint | Dr_willis: can u help me with counterstrike | 01:29 |
| Blunter | Now it has disappeared in ubuntu | 01:29 |

| linxeh | exclampoint: look at cedega and Crossover if you want to run windows software - many popular programs will run just fine. there are often free alternatives though that are as good, sometimes better, sometimes slightly lacking, but I don't think I'd go back to windows full time. I have to use it at work sometimes, and without cygwin I find it awful | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | exclampoint, not really - i dont play games much with wine. theres #wine and the various wine web sites for game tips/tweaks for specific games and wine | 01:30 |
| usr13_ | Blunter: Linux reads and writes many different types of filesystems, including FAT16, FAT32, NTFS etc. etc. etc. | 01:30 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: counterstrike runs great with cedega apparently | 01:30 |
| breezznl | K_Nine: I haven't checked the HP site. It is an Epson. I have downloaded drivers from the epson site for linux. | 01:30 |

| exclampoint | linxeh: there are actuallly many nice features, like the multidesktops lol but its hardd and ok illlook | 01:31 |
| K_Nine | breezznl: Then beyond me. Sorry. | 01:31 |
| a3p | mmm ... I accidentally removed a drive from my Desktop - now the drive does not get mounted automatically, till I reboote, for the UUID is still in use. Does anyone know a way to unlock the uuid (other than changing the devices UUID)? | 01:31 |
| linxeh | exclampoint: anything worthwhile is always hard | 01:31 |
| breezznl | K_Nine: Thanx. I refuse to believe it is impossible. I will keep trying! | 01:32 |
| usr13_ | Blunter: Wrong? With what? I may have missed the subject of your question. | 01:32 |
| exclampoint | linxeh: but i could have been fine w/windows but i guess i dont want to pay for pc repair and if cs works ok :) | 01:32 |

| Dr_willis | Often its a good idea with laptops to just have a spare laptop hd. you can plug in, and test out linux on. :) then if you dont like it. You put the windows hd back in. | 01:33 |
| xomp | can someone explain how I have 2 battery notifications on my laptop, 1 says I have over 3 hours of battery left 99% charged, the other says I have 55 minutes left 97% charged? | 01:34 |
| linxeh | Dr_willis: or just a usb drive. most laptops will boot from usb etc | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | linxeh, ive seen/hear of toomany issues with installing to a usb hd lately. | 01:34 |
| linxeh | Dr_willis: shrug - works for me :) | 01:34 |
| Blunter | usr13: I wrote what happened in a Priv message | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | linxeh, But the usb-hd is what you do with the 'extra' hd :) whenyou decide to stay with linux. heh heh. | 01:34 |
| linxeh | Dr_willis: it depends on the machines though | 01:35 |
| nemilar | Kloss: is it a DX5000 or a CX5000? | 01:35 |
| gortba | Dr_Willis: I'm confused now. My boot.conf boots linux from (hd0,0). From device.map, I get that hd0 is hdb. The linux image is on hda from according to fdisk. Should create the proper entries based on fdisk? | 01:35 |
| exclampoint | linxeh: cool ill buy cedega sounds awsome | 01:35 |
| exclampoint | linxeh: ty | 01:35 |
| Kloss | DX5000 | 01:35 |
| Kloss | nemilar: DX5000 | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | gortba, fdisk does not enumerate drives the same way as grub does. If grub says hdb is hd0, then hdc would be hd1 most likely | 01:35 |

| solexious | [Q] Hello all, how can I set up samba so any one on the network can connect and edit etc with out a password? | 01:37 |
| nemilar | !dualboot > X-TREME | 01:37 |
| nemilar | solexious: yes you can | 01:37 |
| xomp | can someone explain how I have 2 battery notifications on my laptop, 1 (battery charge monitor) says I have over 3 hours of battery left 99% charged, the other (power management) says I have 55 minutes left 97% charged? | 01:38 |
| X-TREME | But its not that, my problem is a bit different, can I explain it to you in a pm? or should I do it here? | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | !samba | solexious | 01:38 |
| ubotu | solexious: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 01:38 |
| nemilar | solexious: if you google for setting up samba, you'll probably find a guide | 01:38 |
| Kloss | nemilar: thanks. i will try so. :-) that is a little light at the horizon. | 01:38 |
| nemilar | X-TREME: do it here, so everyone can see | 01:38 |
| usr13_ | Blunter: Just say what you need to say here. | 01:38 |
| nemilar | Kloss: I'm sure you'll be able to get it working, Epson printers are pretty friendly .... usually plug-n-play | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | solexious, the book 'using samba' is in the samba-doc package. it is a 300+ Page HTML book that gives exaples/docs and info on that also. | 01:38 |
| Blunter | ok | 01:38 |
| DFlamed | Does anyone know an open source alternative to something like say.... Dreamweaver or FrontPage? | 01:38 |
| Blunter | Ok.. So I had Windows vista on 1 drive, and data on another drive. I installed Ubuntu on the windows vista drive. Now I boot up into uBuntu, and see my second drive which is NTFS labeled "BackUp" | 01:39 |
| Blunter | I double click it, it doesnt open.. Then after a minute or so it says it cant mount the drive | 01:39 |
| solexious | nemilar: Have tried that mate, so far only setting it up with accounts :s | 01:39 |
| Blunter | Now under the file browser, the drive doesnt even appear anymore | 01:39 |

| X-TREME | ok I have a Laptop with a recovery partition (which loads Vista), a WindowsXP partition and another partition with Ubuntu. When I boot my laptop, grub comes up and I only see ubuntu and Vista loader but not WinXP, how can I boot into winxp?

| nemilar | X-TREME: if you try re-configuring grub, does it see XP? | 01:41 |
| X-TREME | how do I reconfig grub? | 01:41 |
| nemilar | X-TREME: worst comes to worst you can add it by hand | 01:41 |
| X-TREME | i am new to linux. | 01:41 |
| nemilar | X-TREME: you didn't read the documentation about dualboot | 01:41 |

| K_Nine | xcomp I think this is the third time you asked. Maybe you should do a post on the forums. | 01:42 |

| xomp | Codenut, right click the workspace and choose 4 columns | 01:44 |
| Get_A_Fix | Codenut: right click on the workspaces and increase the number of colums | 01:44 |
| Cpudan80 | xomp: Your BIOS probably limits charging above a certain % too (why it says 55 minutes vs say 10) | 01:44 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Blunter: are you having trouble mounting ntfs? | 01:44 |
| xomp | Codenut, sorry, right-click workspace, properties and put 4 in columns for 4 workspaces :) | 01:44 |
| X-TREME | the documentation says the the recovery partition will cause me to have problems so is there anyway I can remove it now? | 01:45 |
| xomp | Cpudan80, I think it does, there is an option to "calibrate battery" in there that makes no sense to me. | 01:45 |
| Blunter | overlucker: yes | 01:45 |
| usr13_ | xenthro: I think you need ndiswrapper | 01:45 |

| usr13_ | xenthro: monitor mode? What is "monitor mode"? | 01:47 |
| Cpudan80 | xomp: Yeah, Ubuntu does the DNS stuff differently than windows, prob nothing you can do about it | 01:47 |
| xomp | Cpudan80, yeah, I was thinking ubuntu couldn't see the alt. dns names for our domain. | 01:48 |
| Cpudan80 | xomp: you could add the DNS server to your list --- not sure what that would do if its not available (ie not connected) | 01:48 |
| xenthro | usr13_ long explanation... suggest you google it | 01:48 |
| xomp | Cpudan80, the weird thing is I can ping.. say our MS Exchange server by netbios name, but not my workstation lol | 01:48 |
| Cpudan80 | xomp: System --> Admin --> Networking --> DNS | 01:48 |
| Cpudan80 | xomp: add the DNS server | 01:49 |

| kaz1nsky | is there something i have to do in addition in linux? | 02:05 |
| nemilar | no | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | Tygir, first is tocheck to see if its even supported under linux. Ive had bery bad luck with my webcams.. None had linux support. | 02:05 |

| usr13_ | compy: ls /media/ | 02:08 |
| tcpdumpgod | Firewall could be doing it... but its @ a Datacenter so im doubting that is the culprit. | 02:09 |
| compy | thanks ^^ | 02:09 |
| Tygir | Dr_willis: when i try and use camorama...i get could not connect to video device (/dev/video0) | 02:09 |
| compy | so it would be /media/cdrom? | 02:09 |
| nemilar | tcpdumpgod: if it's at a DC, can't you just ask the techs to take a look at it? that's what you're paying for | 02:09 |
| compy | or atleast whats what it shows | 02:09 |
| kenan | usr13_: i tried disabling all the microphone settings | 02:09 |
| kenan | its still not working | 02:09 |

| usr13_ | tcpdumpgod: Would have to look at what packets are being dropped for clues, may need to look from another machine, (preferrably the one where the packets are coming from). | 02:13 |
| DanThirst | deme: go to system, preferences, and then appearances. I'm assuming you'v already downloaded it | 02:13 |

| GoldeNArX | any way to help me out? | 02:13 |
| tcpdumpgod | user13 check this out | 02:13 |
| tcpdumpgod | 10000 packets captured | 02:13 |
| tcpdumpgod | 231037 packets received by filter | 02:13 |
| tcpdumpgod | 217049 packets dropped by kernel | 02:13 |
| DanThirst | deme: you can just chose to in stall the tar.gz from there | 02:13 |
| tcpdumpgod | 231037 - 217049 does not = 10000 though. | 02:13 |
| Tygir | Dr_willis: what is weird is that it works in kopete...so doesnt that mean its supported? | 02:14 |
| usr13_ | tcpdumpgod: If it is behing a linux firewall, go to that machine and do tcpdump |grep ip.address.here | 02:14 |
| tcpdumpgod | usr13, whats the easiest way in tcpdump to see dropped packets. | 02:14 |
| deme | DanThirst: It tells me the file format is invalid | 02:14 |
| tcpdumpgod | user13, i think its behind a PIX. | 02:14 |

| achilles | ok ill try | 02:15 |
| tcpdumpgod | i'll "MAN" user13 ;) | 02:15 |
| ader10 | freenx vs vnc? I have tried both. Freenx doesn't let me connect to my existing desktop session but is fast, and vnc does let me, but it is far slower | 02:15 |
| DanThirst | deme: http://gnome-look.org/ try finding something you like here, and make sure its supported for your distro and release of that dsitro | 02:15 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: you need to add a similar line: /dev/sda2 /media/sda2mountpoint ntfs-3g defaults,user 0 0 | 02:15 |
| deme | Okay, thanks | 02:16 |
| usr13_ | quittt: Boot the install CD and choose recovery mode, chroot to the Ubuntu root parition and do grub install | 02:16 |
| Jay955 | ok i will try | 02:16 |
| tcpdumpgod | user13, I think its probably because it's receiving so many packets that it can't keep up. | 02:16 |
| quittt | usr13, hmm, any install cd? | 02:16 |
| usr13_ | tcpdumpgod: I doubt it... | 02:16 |

| GoldeNArX | DanThirst : I've done that | 02:18 |
| tcpdumpgod | Yeah user13... i think I may be right... because... they have a lot of machines on the network and its a 10/100 nic. | 02:18 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: then gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 02:18 |

| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, !!! you don't upgrade to ubuntu... | 02:36 |
| iKap | WhoNeedszzz, it was a bit too simple for me, which was in a way nice because it ran alot quicker/smoother | 02:36 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, simple is good | 02:37 |
| iKap | WhoNeedszzz, but i needed the eye candy just a bit lol | 02:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, simple means less problems | 02:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, that's what compiz is for | 02:37 |
| andbrug | hello, im having a problem with ubuntu gusty on my hp dv6255us. ubunut not detect the pen-drive. someone can help me? | 02:37 |
| iKap | WhoNeedszzz, and plus i had decent specs and ram sitting there waiting to be used.. so i said why not? | 02:37 |
| gmcastil | iKap: man pages are a local documentation thats installed on everysystem | 02:37 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, true but KDE and Gnome overuse ram and processor usage | 02:38 |
| hdevalence | WhoNeedszzz: I reject your statement | 02:38 |
| achilles | kde4 will use less ram | 02:38 |
| iKap | WhoNeedszzz, dont worry lol im putting xubuntu on a slower desktop comp that i am getting.. ubuntu is for the laptop :) | 02:38 |
| gmcastil | WhoNeedszzz: i suppose it depends on your machine....i have a 2.4ghz core2 with 4gb of memory | 02:38 |
| hdevalence | achilles: kde4 *does* use less memory | 02:39 |
| Jay955 | <overcluckerLIMBO> i typed it in a saved it now what? | 02:39 |
| iKap | my laptop is 1.7ghz 1gb ram.. ubuntu works perfect. | 02:39 |
| gmcastil | iKap: that would run kde just fine | 02:39 |
| achilles | kdevalence i tried to say when he installs it | 02:39 |
| LjL | !kde4 | 02:39 |
| ubotu | KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 | 02:39 |
| iKap | gmcastil, yes, but i prefer gnome.. just my taste. | 02:39 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, it works fine but it could work better, like i said, it is bloated | 02:39 |
| * gmcastil really needs to find his .emacs file... | 02:40 | |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, one day you will see what i mean | 02:40 |
| lex0 | how do i install a binary file? | 02:40 |
| gmcastil | lex0: more explanatoin please | 02:40 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: ok, now a reboot should put things where they need to be | 02:40 |
| hdevalence | achilles: ah i see | 02:40 |
| achilles | :) | 02:40 |
| Jay955 | ok brb | 02:40 |
| lex0 | i have a file that ends in pkg1.run | 02:40 |
| iKap | they are both equally stable, but i WILL admit one thing.. i love gnome but.. it has given me a few issues since i installed. | 02:40 |
| gmcastil | lex0: where did you get it? | 02:40 |
| lex0 | nvidia | 02:40 |
| iKap | but nothing big enough to make me go back to xfce. lol | 02:41 |
| lex0 | the glx doesnt work | 02:41 |
| gmcastil | lex0: are you building the nvidia drivers yourself? | 02:41 |
| lex0 | for my 8800 | 02:41 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, just you wait | 02:41 |
| gmcastil | lex0: you should be able to use the nvidia package from ubuntu | 02:41 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, i promise more problems will arise | 02:41 |
| lex0 | when i use that my games crash on wine | 02:41 |
| lex0 | my fps are terrible | 02:41 |
| LjL | lex0: what makes you think that installing it from nvidia site would fix the problem (rather than just, as seems unavoidable, mess up your system by overwriting files)? | 02:41 |
| WhoNeedszzz | lex0, aye use the nvidia run package | 02:41 |
| iKap | WhoNeedszzz, yeah i have a feeling.. then i will go to xfce if thats the case lol. but no really i did have a few issues with gnome.. or "ubuntu" that i didnt have when running xubuntu/xfce | 02:42 |
| WhoNeedszzz | lex0, mine works fine | 02:42 |
| iKap | kinda weird.. but nothing big. | 02:42 |
| LjL | lex0: what makes you think that WINE can run most or many games smoothly? | 02:42 |
| gmcastil | lex0: if you're sure that you want to run it, open up a terminal window, cd into that directory, and then type "./filename" | 02:42 |
| iKap | lex0, wine isnt perfect my friend. | 02:42 |
| lex0 | yes but ive seen it much better on other peoples computer | 02:42 |
| WhoNeedszzz | iKap, ubuntu is the os. both use ubuntu; they just use diff window managers | 02:42 |
| iKap | WhoNeedszzz, yeah i know lol i was just trying to be more clear. | 02:42 |
| LjL | lex0: what makes you think breaking your system will improve the situation? | 02:42 |
| solexious | [Q] Hello all, how can I set up samba so any one on the network can connect and edit etc with out a password? | 02:43 |
| WhoNeedszzz | LjL, LOL! | 02:43 |
| gmcastil | lex0: if you have to ask how to run a binary, you probably aren't prepared to deal with building your own nvidia drivers | 02:43 |
| lex0 | so how can i deal with crashes? | 02:43 |
| iKap | LjL, ahahaha | 02:43 |
| gmcastil | lex0: depends on why its crashing | 02:43 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | !swat | 02:43 |
| ubotu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 02:43 |
| lex0 | for example when i open wow and change the resolution to my 22 inch it crashes | 02:44 |
| * gmcastil gives the ubuntu-bot a smack on the ass! | 02:44 | |
| LjL | lex0, you might perhaps try using nvidia-glx-new rather than nvidia-glx. | 02:44 |
| WhoNeedszzz | lex0, here is an idea: stop using wine for games! Just boot to windows! | 02:44 |
| LjL | !nvidia > lex0 (lex0, see the private message from Ubotu) | 02:44 |
| WhoNeedszzz | lex0, they are not worth the trouble | 02:44 |
| el_taco | I'm looking at buying a new board and was thinking about an amd chipset. anyone know if there'd be any compatibility issues with gutsy? | 02:44 |

| gmcastil | hey, i'm going through /etc/apt/sources.lst and it looks like ubuntu enables restricted, multiverse, and universe repositories by default - is this correct? | 02:46 |
| _Afk | noob question: how do i create a new blank text file | 02:46 |
| mercury_1900 | i was looking for a theme like that, too | 02:46 |
| crdlb | iKap: clearlooks? | 02:46 |
| DoubleDew | what process begins the ubuntu desktop environment? better yet, what config file shows what process to start during boot and is it possible to eliminate all non-essential ones and call them on my own if i need them? | 02:46 |
| mercury_1900 | based on that | 02:46 |
| mercury_1900 | a background, actually | 02:46 |
| gmcastil | DoubleDew: its considerably more complicated than that | 02:46 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | DoubleDew: init 4 | 02:47 |
| annienygma | gmcastil : I thought you had to manually enable them... Leastways I had to | 02:47 |
| Jay955 | <overcluckerLIMBO> it locked up on reboot | 02:47 |

| gmcastil | annienygma: i don't see any of the those lines commented out | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | Linux likes to make use of lots and lots of scripts that call other scripts that start other things.. and so on. :) | 02:47 |
| gmcastil | DoubleDew: windows != linux | 02:47 |
| DoubleDew | gmcastil: im aware, i should rephrase, basically i want to boot to prompt, | 02:47 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | tritium: good point, i'm always forgetting | 02:47 |
| DoubleDew | gmcastil: and start the desktop environment if necessary | 02:48 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about eeepc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:48 |
| gmcastil | DoubleDew: ah...typically, you tell it to switch to a different run level, but i've not figured out how ubuntu is configured...i only installed it this afternoon | 02:48 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: what did it say when it locked up? | 02:48 |

| === Aloha__ is now known as Aloha | ||
| WhoNeedszzz | _Afk isn't here anymore... | 02:49 |
| gmcastil | DoubleDew: yeah...its different with ubuntu - i'm a redhat guy, so i'm still figuring out how ubuntu does things | 02:49 |
| Scunizi | When I try to load Inkscape it takes 45 seconds and processor usage goes to 55% How do I discover what's happening so I can try to fix it? | 02:49 |
| sapperjanko1 | how do i set a user to be able 2 write to /var/www | 02:49 |
| mouseboyx | Im looking for a good laptop that will run ubuntu nicely under $500 Can anyone recommend ? | 02:50 |
| gmcastil | sapperjanko1: chmod and chown change ownerships and permissions | 02:50 |
| annienygma | scan *gk* | 02:50 |
| DoubleDew | does ubuntu have technical info on there documentation...for such things as what I am asking | 02:50 |
| Administrator | Hi | 02:50 |
| el_taco | WhoNeedszzz I mean AMD/ATI southbridge. | 02:50 |
| sapperjanko1 | gmcastil: also how can i view what permissions a user has | 02:50 |
| mouseboyx | ls -l sapperjanko1 | 02:51 |
| hdevalence | mouseboyx: have you seen the eeepc | 02:51 |
| gmcastil | sapperjanko1: permissions and ownerships aren't the same in linux as they are in windows | 02:51 |
| WhoNeedszzz | el_taco, oh i have Nvidia north bridge | 02:51 |
| mouseboyx | It, needs to have a cdrom drive at least. | 02:51 |
| annienygma | gmcastil hold on checking | 02:51 |
| el_taco | northbridge.. whatever... | 02:51 |
| Scunizi | mouseboyx, Dell Vostro 1400 intel core 2 duo might just do the trick for $499 | 02:51 |
| gmcastil | sapperjanko1: you can use 'ls -l' to see the permissions/ownerships of files | 02:51 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: so, it goes blank after the logon screen? | 02:51 |
| WhoNeedszzz | el_taco, ? there is a diff | 02:52 |
| gmcastil | sapperjanko1: but, in general, linux file permissions and ownerships aren't as finely tunable as they are in windows | 02:52 |
| Scunizi | mouseboyx, http://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/vostronb?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd | 02:52 |
| Jay955 | yes i just have the mouse and a blank background | 02:52 |
| toresn | say i have a text file with the path to several videoes (one on each line)... how do i execute them with i.e. mplayer ? | 02:52 |
| gmcastil | sapperjanko1: (not that its all that big of a deal) | 02:52 |
| gmcastil | wow...this is a real newbie channel | 02:52 |
| RyanPrior | Is there any FOSS program that has syntax and capabilities similar to Maple? | 02:53 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, depends on the night and time | 02:53 |
| sapperjanko1 | gmcastil: well what the problem is that i cant write files with samba server up n runnin, just read only, i was in the samba channel n then they ended up sayin its my user permissions, its got nuffin 2 do with samba\ | 02:53 |
| annienygma | gmcastil : yeah... is this your first time here too? | 02:53 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: i don't mind contributing | 02:53 |
| RyanPrior | gmcastil: Lots of newbies come here, but there are lots of more experienced users here too. :-) | 02:53 |
| mouseboyx | Thanks! | 02:53 |
| danbhfive | toresn: thats an odd question, why dont you just browse to them? | 02:53 |
| gmcastil | annienygma: yeah, i installed ubuntu this evening...i'm leaving redhat for good | 02:53 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, me either.. can be fun at times.. most times.. except when I don't know the answer :) | 02:53 |
| toresn | danbhfive: well, maybe i want to use the text file as a playlist | 02:54 |
| mouseboyx | Does this look legit? http://www.expressitoptions.com/t7100-p-162178.html | 02:54 |
| annienygma | gmcastil I left Suse for Ubuntu a while back... and I am totally new to IRC | 02:54 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: so far, i'm liking what i see...i doubt that i'll ever go back to redhat or any of its progeny | 02:54 |
| danbhfive | toresn: still, players can do playlists | 02:54 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: is /etc/fstab the only file you changed, since your last reboot | 02:54 |
| deme | how do I fix the gnome-settings-daemon bug? | 02:54 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | ? | 02:54 |
| Jay955 | yes it is | 02:54 |
| toresn | danbhfive: not mplayer on the command line... even so, that's the point :-) | 02:54 |
| toresn | +not | 02:55 |
| gmcastil | annienygma: i think these lines are uncommented now because i installed the restricted nvidia drivers | 02:55 |
| Jay955 | i just rebooted to see what will happen | 02:55 |
| rycole | hey guys, what params to "ls" allow me to see file permissions? | 02:55 |
| Jay955 | brb | 02:55 |
| Alumin | I'm looking for a generic way to install something that is packaged for Ubuntu, but that I have a patch that I'd like to apply beforehand. | 02:55 |
| Alumin | rycole: -l | 02:55 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, for the most part Ubuntu has been pretty easy for me.. nothing linux based prior to this for me. Started with breezy 4 editions ago | 02:55 |
| * gmcastil is going crazy without the old .emacs file! | 02:55 | |
| Jay955 | same thing no change | 02:55 |
| annienygma | They may be.. I'm not up on nVidia, I'm afraid | 02:55 |
| Alumin | command-line mplayer does a playlist in the sense that you can specify multiple files on the command line | 02:55 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | !paste > Jay955 | 02:56 |
| annienygma | Is anyone else here using BitchX? | 02:56 |
| toresn | Alumin: yes, i know... but still... | 02:56 |
| el_taco | annienygma yes | 02:56 |
| Alumin | so, what I've got so far is 1) apt-get source <package>, 2) apt-get build-dep <package>, 3) apply patch, 4) something with dpkg-buildpackage... | 02:56 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: i really haven't gotten use to the extensive use of UUID | 02:56 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: are you able to alt-F2 ? | 02:56 |
| Alumin | annienygma: not for a while, but I have used it extensively in the past | 02:56 |
| annienygma | el_taco: Did you find it hard to learn? | 02:57 |
| Alumin | compared to what? | 02:57 |
| RyanPrior | Is there any FOSS program that has syntax and capabilities similar to Maple? | 02:57 |
| danbhfive | toresn: i well, I would just use a scripting language to do what you want. like bash or perl | 02:57 |
| el_taco | annienygma i've been using it off and on for 15years | 02:57 |
| annienygma | Alumin: I heard it was one of the better IRC clients out there, so I d/l'ed a tutorial and gave it a try | 02:57 |
| sapperjanko1 | gmcastil: so what would be the full command 2 make it 2 that folder... this is what i get with ls -l drwxr-xr-x 122 root bin 12288 2007-12-21 09:53 webmin-1.390 | 02:57 |
| Jay955 | box comes up but it will not let me type in it | 02:57 |
| annienygma | tonight, that is (grin) | 02:58 |
| Alumin | that depends on your definition of better | 02:58 |
| blbrown | I have a user I setup with so much mail that it crashes when I login. This is on a server. How can I manually delete the mail box | 02:58 |
| gmcastil | RyanPrior: not really....but, you might try learning more about Python | 02:58 |
| gmcastil | !python | 02:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about python - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:58 |
| RyanPrior | gmcastil: I know some about Python. It's different though. :-) | 02:58 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, yea.. that's a new one. blkid works good for identification. Some things still work better with a label | 02:58 |
| annienygma | It has a learning curve, for sure | 02:58 |
| Alumin | annienygma: BX is basically EPIC with a bunch of functionality that EPIC would need scripts for, hardcoded into the client | 02:58 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: i forget which one is open, but try alt+ F3 thru F7 | 02:59 |
| gmcastil | RyanPrior: there are extensive libraries for python that give much the same (if not better) power than maple or matlab | 02:59 |
| Alumin | now, if you're going to use all those features, then that's a bonus because binary code is faster than scripts | 02:59 |
| SpookyET | How do you remove a user from a group using the command line? | 02:59 |
| el_taco | Alumin no it's ircii. | 02:59 |
| Alumin | SpookyET: check out usermod | 02:59 |
| sapperjanko1 | !chmod | 02:59 |
| ubotu | An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 02:59 |
| Scunizi | Anyone know if a lot of fonts will slow some applications, like Inkscape, to a crawl when loading ? | 02:59 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: i understand the mentality behind it, i guess - i just don't necessarily agree with it | 02:59 |
| Jay955 | ok | 02:59 |
| RyanPrior | gmcastil: Can you suggest a good math library? | 02:59 |
| SpookyET | Alumin: I did not see remove in it, only add | 02:59 |
| gmcastil | RyanPrior: numpy is the standard | 02:59 |
| Alumin | annienygma: if you're just getting started with a CLI client, I would check out irssi | 02:59 |
| danbhfive | !equivalents | RyanPrior | 02:59 |
| ubotu | RyanPrior: A comprehensive list of of Windows-equivalent applications in Linux can be found at http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant | 02:59 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, I think it helped with a mix of ide and sata drives.. I"ve always had issues there. | 02:59 |
| Alumin | SpookyET: you specify the new list of groups in its entirety, so you leave out the unwanted group | 03:00 |
| gmcastil | RyanPrior: python + numphy + matplotlib >> Maple or Matlab | 03:00 |
| SpookyET | Alumin: cool, thanks | 03:00 |
| annienygma | Alumin: I have heard of it... is it any good? | 03:00 |
| DurtDiggler | is there a reason why the ubuntu firefox's font is almost twice as big as every other browser's | 03:00 |
| Jay955 | nothing happining | 03:00 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: yeah...i don't see anything inherently bad about it (as long as there is a way to read UUID info from the drive) | 03:00 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: ok, now login, and sudo nano /etc/fstab, and remove the line you added. | 03:01 |
| Omlette | Because someone messed up, DurtDiggler. | 03:01 |
| el_taco | DurtDiggler have you installed the windows fonts? | 03:01 |
| DurtDiggler | well Im jsut lookin at the live cd | 03:01 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: what worries me is if I need to modify the boot params or want to point to a different / fs | 03:01 |
| DurtDiggler | just thought Ide check it out | 03:01 |
| Jay955 | 1 sec | 03:01 |
| DurtDiggler | and I design websites | 03:01 |
| DurtDiggler | and was quite disappointed | 03:01 |
| gmcastil | el_taco: windows fonts? | 03:01 |
| Alumin | annienygma: I like it :p | 03:02 |
| jack-desktop | nemilar, i know you didn't do it on purpose but "jackfusion" was the one asking to ask. | 03:02 |
| DurtDiggler | my sites use arial too | 03:02 |
| Alumin | BX is friendlier out of the box because it's got a good color setup | 03:02 |
| nicko | dam to many tools | 03:02 |
| annienygma | Alumin: I'll have to give it a whirl then :D | 03:02 |
| nicko | nice baby | 03:02 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, a different / fs should have it's own uuid anyway.. so maybe not such a big thing afterall. | 03:02 |
| Alumin | also it uses the ircII/EPIC scripting language, so there's a large pool of prior work done there | 03:02 |
| nicko | cool | 03:02 |
| gmcastil | Scunizi: right...but, how do i know what it is? | 03:02 |
| Alumin | on the other hand, irssi uses perl to script, so there's some libraries available for that I hear :P | 03:03 |
| Scunizi | annienygma, irssi and screen once you get use to it can really rock.. | 03:03 |
| annienygma | gmcastil: You can install Windows fonts on ubuntu... do a google on medibuntu and you will find tutorials on it | 03:03 |
| nemilar | jack-desktop: oh true...my bad. darn nick-completion | 03:03 |
| el_taco | gmcastil the ones installed with medibuntu | 03:03 |
| annienygma | gmcastil: also tutorials on playing DVDs and mp3s and stuff... | 03:03 |
| smallfoot- | does anyone use ubuntu on a 386? | 03:03 |
| Scunizi | gmcastil, blkid from the terminal will discover mounted partitions. | 03:03 |
| gmcastil | el_taco: is that just another package? | 03:03 |
| Alumin | irssi has much better support for multiple concurrent network connections, if you're into that | 03:03 |
| wers | can I have tabs in abiword? | 03:03 |
| Scunizi | smallfoot-, if they do it's probably with xubuntu | 03:03 |
| el_taco | gmcastil www.medibuntu.org | 03:04 |
| nicko | go to youtube.com to watch tutorials | 03:04 |
| wers | i don't want my docs in separate windows | 03:04 |
| Alumin | that's the main reason I switched from BX to irssi | 03:04 |
| annienygma | Scunizi: Can u install using synaptic? | 03:04 |
| Scunizi | annienygma, sure.. sudo apt-get install irssi or synaptic.. both work fine | 03:04 |
| Alumin | of course, I've since left the CLI IRC world completely...I'm a loyal KVirc user now :) | 03:04 |
| gmcastil | el_taco: reading...so..medibuntu is just a repository that isn't included by default in sources.lst? | 03:04 |
| el_taco | gmcastil correct | 03:05 |
| mouseboyx | Why doesn't dell sell the cheap laptops with ubuntu, so that i don't have to pay for windows vista? | 03:05 |
| annienygma | thx, el_taco my brain went south and couldn't think of the site | 03:05 |
| solexious | [Q] Hello all, how can I set up samba so any one on the network can connect and edit etc with out a password or settng up users? | 03:05 |
| el_taco | mouseboyx how cheap are you talking? cause $600 is pretty cheap | 03:05 |
| gvsa123 | any ideas why the ubuntu side on a p2p connection via crossover cables to an xp machine is slow on the initial access of shared folders on xp? after that, everything is pretty much the okay already. | 03:05 |
| gmcastil | el_taco: ah...was wondering how they did this stuff....i figured stuff like codecs and crap was in the multiverse repo | 03:05 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: are you having any luck? | 03:05 |
| gmcastil | solexious: why would you do that? | 03:05 |
| annienygma | mouseboyx: those lappies Dell is selling are pretty cheap! Cost less than the same machine with Windoze | 03:06 |
| mouseboyx | Where? | 03:06 |
| Gman99999 | Hey is there anyone that can help me resolve a WUSB54G V.4 Issue? I need to black list some modules from loading at start up or find a proper driver that works | 03:06 |
| smallfoot- | Scunizi, then why is ubuntu released as compiled i386 instead of i486 or i586 or even i686? | 03:06 |
| mouseboyx | The $399 one comes with windows vista annienygma | 03:06 |

| Scunizi | annienygma, mouseboyx I got a 1400 for my wife for xmas. Works good. | 03:06 |
| annienygma | solexious: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 That should help | 03:06 |
| solexious | gmcastil: as i want it to be acsessable to any one | 03:07 |
| gmcastil | solexious: define 'accessible' | 03:07 |
| solexious | annie: that doesnt cover this setup | 03:07 |
| annienygma | Scunizi : I want one! I had already bought this one when I heard Dell was selling them... but my next lappie will be an Ubuntu Dell! | 03:07 |
| Scunizi | smallfoot-, the numbering does not really represent a 386 processor. The kernel recognized the chip and uses the appropriate "stuff" for the lack of a better word. | 03:07 |
| gmcastil | annienygma: get a thinkpad....much better than the dell's | 03:07 |
| el_taco | solexious allow guest? | 03:07 |
| annienygma | solexious : sorry | 03:07 |
| solexious | gm: read and write | 03:07 |

| mouseboyx | http://www.dell.com/content/products/category.aspx/vostronb?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd only comes with windows | 03:08 |

| mouseboyx | http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=bqcwi1s&s=bsd < this one should come with ubuntu... | 03:08 |
| Jay955 | <overcluckerLIMBO> i will have to re-install it it will not let me do anything | 03:08 |
| annienygma | gmcastil: redhat and I have never gotten along for some reason (shrugs) | 03:08 |
| gmcastil | annienygma: my thinkpad came with vista....was gone in 30 sec | 03:08 |
| solexious | gm: im not allowing acsess to any more than one emty folder | 03:08 |
| Alumin | Thinkpads rule | 03:08 |

| gmcastil | solexious: /etc <--- not an empty folder | 03:09 |
| Alumin | yeah, mine came with 2000 but... :) | 03:09 |
| gmcastil | solexious: folder == directory | 03:09 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | Jay955: from grub, there is a recovery console, or should be | 03:09 |
| solexious | gm: i never said /ect ... | 03:09 |
| annienygma | gmcastil: how did it work with the modem? Did it recognise it? | 03:09 |
| === Ttech is now known as ashfaklsdfhasd | ||
| gmcastil | annienygma: recognizes everything perfectly....modem support is a non issue - the 8250 and 16550 UART haven't changed in years | 03:09 |
| mouseboyx | Works OUt of the box? Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Wi-Fi Mini Card | 03:10 |
| Alumin | annienygma: what you can do, if you want to be sure, is boot it up in RH and make a note of all the drivers used for the hardware | 03:10 |
| gmcastil | solexious: the solution is still SSH | 03:10 |
| Alumin | then just install those drivers when you install whatever other distro you install | 03:10 |
| Jay955 | ok i will work on it and let you know what happens | 03:10 |
| Jay955 | thanks for all your help :) | 03:10 |
| cry01 | any expert here that would be willing to help me out with some problems I am having in getting my nova-s working? :/ im about to give up, i tried just about everything | 03:10 |
| anathematic | how do i set permissions for all the sub directories in a main directly? (without applying same permissions to files int here as well) | 03:10 |
| solexious | gm: i dont see why, i want to use the inbult windows network to share space on my ubuntu box | 03:10 |
| Alumin | I just like the Thinkpads because they're super sturdy...plus they have the ThinkLight which is surprisingly useful | 03:10 |
| solexious | ssh is not the answer | 03:10 |
| annienygma | gmcastil: good | 03:11 |
| Alumin | and the mount thing on top to connect external stuff like webcams | 03:11 |
| norv | solexious: samba is the answer iff you must share with windows | 03:11 |
| gmcastil | solexious: i misunderstood...thought you were trying to share /etc | 03:11 |
| annienygma | Good point, Alumin ... | 03:11 |
| annienygma | Alumin: what is a thinklight? | 03:11 |
| norv | otherwise, ssh is always the best choice because it's 2 for 1.. you get file sharing and a way to login | 03:12 |
| el_taco | anathematic find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; | 03:12 |
| Alumin | they have this little LED light on the inside lip of the top of the screen | 03:12 |
| solexious | gm: lol, no, just an empty folder that can be used to store stuff, hence samba for windows users | 03:12 |
| Alumin | you hit a key and it turns on and shines down on the keyboard | 03:12 |
| anathematic | thanks el_taco :) | 03:12 |

| coldboot|home | Why does ubuntu not ask you any questions when installing programs like Debian used to? | 03:17 |
| norv | To think it's actually modern | 03:17 |
| annienygma | debating on a new video card for the desktop or more RAM for the lappie -- can't afford both :( | 03:17 |
| coldboot|home | Debian would ask so many questions to configure programs you installed. | 03:17 |
| gmcastil | coldboot|home: probably auto-detects a lot of it | 03:17 |
| Alumin | coldboot|home: dpkg-reconfigure debconf | 03:18 |
| el_taco | norv e3pc? | 03:18 |
| gmcastil | annienygma: more memory | 03:18 |
| Alumin | set the priority lower | 03:18 |

| el_taco | norv i'm close to getting the 4g but I want the 8g with the PCIe memory | 03:18 |
| Alumin | coldboot|home: if you want the questions during the OS install, you can pass a kernel environment variable | 03:18 |
| coldboot|home | Alumin: Ah, thanks | 03:18 |
| Mr-LonelY | gmcastil: last time i'm using feisty..no problem at all.. | 03:18 |
| annienygma | gmcastil: yeah, but the onboard video on that desktop really stinks! | 03:19 |
| coldboot|home | Alumin: I'm just trying to get AFS setup... | 03:19 |
| norv | annienygma: Kubuntu (really xubuntu switched to Kubuntu) | 03:19 |
| Alumin | like say at the installer bootloader prompt you type "install" because that's the "kernel image name" | 03:19 |
| norv | el_taco: wait, is 4gb the lowest model? | 03:19 |
| el_taco | 2g is the lowest model | 03:19 |

| Scunizi | TallMike, not sure what mud client is but cellofellow is probably pointing you to one that is in "System/Admin/Synaptic" | 03:25 |
| ToddEDM | ok | 03:25 |

| sapperjanko1 | im tryin to change permissions here, but comes up with Operation not permitted... how can i make a user using the sudo command... this is what im tryin atm; sudo chmod o+wx /var/www | 03:25 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: Launcher files are *.desktop. They are similarish to *.lnk files in Windoze. | 03:25 |
| Scunizi | el_taco, ah.. ok | 03:25 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: Open one with gedit thefile.desktop | 03:26 |
| sapperjanko1 | but if i try without sudo comes up not permitted | 03:26 |
| kelvinator | Please forgive me if this questions has been answered before ... I have been googling this for weeks without results ... I have a desktop with a Suse distribution. I would like to replace this with ubuntu, but I am attempting to keep the contents of /home while migrating to ubuntu 7.10. Is this possible? | 03:26 |
| norv | Scunizi: TallMike: MUD is a multi user dungeon, a type of old online game. clients give you a better interface | 03:26 |
| ToddEDM | how do i make a launcher file? | 03:26 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: they are just text files. | 03:26 |
| ToddEDM | i right clicked the desktop and making one | 03:26 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: you can drag and drop them from the menu or panel to the desktop. | 03:26 |
| Mr-LonelY | sapperjanko1: try add user in /etc/sudoers | 03:26 |
| gmcastil | ToddEDM: text editor | 03:26 |
| Scunizi | kelvinator, sure if your /home is in a seperate partition.. if it isn't then you need to do that first. | 03:26 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: that works too. | 03:27 |

| foibles | it says a program is using it | 03:27 |
| sapperjanko1 | Mr-LonelY: and how is that done now :S:S | 03:27 |
| foibles | can i somehow override this? | 03:27 |
| PriceChild | !patience | baal | 03:27 |
| ubotu | baal: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 03:27 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: yeah, that's Exec=command | 03:27 |
| alsadk | i have two partitions i want to marage them by gparted so any one know how? | 03:28 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: try just using fdisk | 03:28 |
| cellofellow | alsadk: backup the latter one, delete it, extend the first, restore backup. | 03:28 |
| Scunizi | baal, that might be a mythtv channel support question. | 03:28 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: oh...you're trying to merge them? | 03:28 |
| alsadk | yes | 03:28 |
| norv | foibles: close anything that might still have it opened. otherwise use the "hard" eject button | 03:29 |
| TallMike | Norv: I know what they are, I'm just trying to find a good program to run them with in Ubuntu. | 03:29 |
| ozzloy | when i print, i get two icons for the print job. i think this might be because i upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10. how do i fix it? | 03:29 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: working out? | 03:29 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: then, backup one, delete it, then resize the other one | 03:29 |
| foibles | norv, it says that when i use hard eject as well | 03:29 |
| norv | foibles: oh right, try to unmount it | 03:29 |
| ToddEDM | cellofellow: its just asking me for COMMAND.. then there is a field to type in something | 03:29 |
| foibles | im not sure what program is blocking it | 03:29 |
| ozzloy | so there's only one print job icon in the notification area? | 03:29 |
| nemilar | Is there any GUI program for mapping mouse buttons? | 03:29 |
| L0L | sapperjanko1: sudo nano /etc/sudoers >> add name user below user privilege | 03:29 |

| Jangari | anyone know if sox can concatenate more than 32 files in one hit? | 03:30 |
| cjones | how do i make it so numlock is on by default | 03:30 |

| cellofellow | ToddEDM: then there is Name, Command, and Comment boxes. | 03:30 |
| ToddEDM | nice... | 03:30 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: and you can click the icon to change it. | 03:30 |
| norv | foibles: yeah, I used to have a customized version of slay for that very reason | 03:30 |
| my-people | sapperjanko1: more detail use man sudoers | 03:31 |
| alsadk | gmcastil cellofellow , i am useing live cd right now | 03:31 |
| ToddEDM | when i type in googleearth, it automatically changed the icon, cool | 03:31 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: for some reason I thought you wanted to terminal-ize an already existing launcher. | 03:31 |
| cjones | how do i make it so numlock is on by default when i start or reboot the box ? | 03:31 |
| alsadk | gmcastil cellofellow , whats the possible choices? | 03:32 |
| cellofellow | alsadk: for what? | 03:32 |
| Scunizi | cjones, numlockx in synaptic | 03:32 |
| ToddEDM | YES it worked, thank you very much cellofellow | 03:32 |
| cellofellow | ToddEDM: you are welcome :) | 03:32 |
| Scunizi | cjones, at least searching numlock in synaptic comes up with it. Looks right. | 03:32 |
| cjones | scunizi so can i apt-get it ? | 03:32 |
| Scunizi | cjones, should be able to. | 03:33 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: it could be tricky...dunno if the livecd has the right tool on it | 03:33 |
| cjones | scunizi thanks | 03:33 |
| nemilar | I think there's a setting in the Admin panels somewhere for numlock, cjones | 03:33 |
| Scunizi | cjones, np | 03:33 |
| alsadk | gmcastil cellofellow , for marage two partisions | 03:33 |
| gmcastil | brb | 03:33 |
| cellofellow | alsadk: you can't do that really, afaik. | 03:33 |
| alsadk | gmcastil cellofellow ,whats that tool | 03:34 |
| cellofellow | alsadk: you can delete the latter one, and then resize the former to fill the gap. | 03:34 |
| yanger | not sure if it's the right place to ask, but.. i'm a ubuntu user :D trying to edit a js file located in a folder that was created with firefox (using the save-as) using gedit... normally, files open fast, but this 21k js file takes a few minutes... is there a reason why it takes so long? | 03:34 |
| Scunizi | Font Viewer.. any recommendations? | 03:34 |

| el_taco | yanger might be a character set problem. what happens when you open it with nano? | 03:36 |
| cellofellow | alsadk: there may be a strange order of the /dev numbers. There is a fdisk trick I used once or twice that fixes that but I forget. | 03:36 |
| cellofellow | alsadk: involves expert mode | 03:37 |
| yanger | el_taco, a few seconds | 03:37 |
| yanger | welll.. not even | 03:37 |
| norv | yanger: freezes, as a file open from a hard disk just stalls | 03:37 |
| norv | then it's a problem with char sets, or gedit | 03:37 |

| nickrud | Ububegin: make that, certainly not | 03:54 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: yes...run fdisk /dev/<HDD device> and the press p to print the partition table. paste its output | 03:54 |
| norv | crdlb: what exactly does that do? uses superuser id to log in as root? | 03:54 |
| cellofellow | what's the diff between sudo -i, sudo -s, and sudo su? oh, and sudo bash works too. | 03:54 |
| crdlb | norv: "interactive mode" for sudo | 03:54 |
| gmcastil | cellofellow: man su | 03:54 |
| techgeek40 | crdlb: no arguments from me on that - just gave the quick one that I used a lot - but then I did reboot after each installing of process I was using it for | 03:55 |
| Ububegin | nickrud: Oh.. I actually installed apache or httpd from source.. thus I am now required to add a few lines to my Apache startup script... any ideas. tks | 03:55 |
| cellofellow | gmcastil: ah, well. I use sudo -s, and I don't know what sudo -i does. | 03:55 |
| crdlb | cellofellow: the first is like 'su' and the second is like 'su -', the rest were never intended to be used like that | 03:55 |
| mnemonica | cellofellow: I don't see anything like that in there. | 03:55 |
| alsadk | gmcastil cellofellow , from where , terminal? | 03:55 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud: long time no see, bud - how's it going for ya these days? | 03:55 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: yes | 03:56 |
| nickrud | Ububegin: not really. I used the packages so I didn't have to handle that stuff myself | 03:56 |
| cellofellow | mnemonica: try VertScroll | 03:56 |
| neald | Hey all, I'm trying to install xubuntu via a partion from another linux system. I mounted the image, copied all the contents to a partition, set grup to boot to that drive, I get a boot, but I get an error (kernel panic) on the loading of scripts and it kills init. Anyone know off hand what I did wrong? | 03:56 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: good, all in all | 03:56 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud: having fun with all the democrats there today? LOL | 03:56 |
| cellofellow | mnemonica: you can hit '/searchterm' to find stuff, and hit 'n' to go to the next match. | 03:56 |
| nickrud | crdlb: only time I ever use sudo -i is to cd into a dir that's read only by root | 03:56 |
| Tygir | what is v4l2? | 03:57 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: i use it all the time | 03:57 |
| Tygir | is that video4linux2? | 03:57 |
| cellofellow | neald: is that a CD image you have copied to the hard drive? | 03:57 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: politics are off topic, I'd have to kill you if I told you mine :) | 03:57 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: but, thats because i work from the cmd line primarily | 03:57 |
| cellofellow | Tygir: yes | 03:57 |
| techgeek40 | LOL | 03:57 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud: deal | 03:57 |
| godlygeek | any chance that someone can point me to info on how the proc filesystem's permissions are set up? i can't figure out why /proc/PID is owned me:me, but every file in it is root:root... :-/ | 03:57 |
| mnemonica | I used ctrl+f.... searched for both vscroll and vertscroll and Vertscroll. No results. | 03:57 |
| neald | cellofellow yes, I copied the image, mounted it, then copied its contents to a ~750mb partition, then set grup to load that partition. | 03:58 |
| gmcastil | godlygeek: because its not real | 03:58 |
| mnemonica | cellofellow: I used ctrl+f.... searched for both vscroll and vertscroll and Vertscroll. No results. | 03:58 |
| el_taco | anyone here use a board with AMD northbridge? I'm looking for a new board and wonder if there's any compatibility issues | 03:58 |
| Tygir | cellofellow: where can i get that? synaptic doesnt have anything... | 03:58 |
| techgeek40 | I'll be afk for a few - I have to go yell at my 5 year old who won't go to sleep at 11 at night and about 100 emails I have to get out before my boss kills me | 03:58 |
| Ububegin | nickrud: maybe i will try to script .. what i shld i name it.. and I put it in the /etc/init.d directory rite | 03:58 |
| cellofellow | neald: ain't gonna work. That's a CD image. | 03:58 |
| ridge-meister | techgeek40: that would help better, what you suggested, but it doesn't really scale.....is there not a way for Spreadsheet/Excel to figure out on its own which cell is the last cell with data in a column? | 03:58 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: personally I've been using sudo as self protection long before ubuntu made it their security model. I'm in complete agreement with them | 03:58 |
| godlygeek | gmcastil: i know it's a virtual fs... | 03:58 |
| Ububegin | nickrud: your script i mean | 03:58 |
| godlygeek | gmcastil: but it's info for a process that i'm running. | 03:58 |
| godlygeek | gmcastil: and it's only one process that i'm seeing it with, not all processes... | 03:58 |
| neald | Okay, I followed a howto from the site, I suppose it is out of date? Can you point me to an up-to-date one? | 03:58 |
| cellofellow | Tygir: it's not a program, really, but an API and libraries. Provides /dev/video so that userspace programs can interface with video devices. | 03:58 |
| cellofellow | Tygir: part of the kernel in other words. | 03:59 |
| godlygeek | gmcastil: in particular, i tested with 'slashem' and 'vim'... seems that it works as expected from vim, but not slashem... | 03:59 |
| compy | anyone have a tutorial to install flash on 64 bit ubuntu? | 03:59 |
| techgeek40 | ridge: there is but it's a lot of scripting - and there around 1,000 web sites for that some charge some don't - I just generally keep it easy and shoot the last cell as a high number and can add to it - because in the first cell I can change the last cell number to what I want | 03:59 |
| compy | every tutorial i have followed has given me errors | 03:59 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: for beginning users, yes...it definitely helps keep people from doing something loony | 03:59 |
| norv | cellofellow: btw, I've easily installed linux by not even extracting/burning the CD image | 03:59 |
| Tygir | cellofellow: well...how do i go about getting these libraries? | 03:59 |
| godlygeek | perhaps the permissions on /proc/$SLASHEMPID/* are tighter because slashem has its setgid bit set? | 03:59 |
| cellofellow | norv: I have in a VM, but never tried on a real machine. | 03:59 |
| decipher7 | compy: i installed firefox32 havent tried installing flash.... but firefox works.... flash should | 03:59 |
| Gman99999 | Anyone know how to check what modules you have loaded are? | 03:59 |
| gmcastil | Gman99999: lsmod | 03:59 |
| nickrud | Ububegin: that's worth a try, reading it over I don't see anything that is truly ubuntu specific off hand, except maybe the paths at the beginning | 04:00 |
| Gman99999 | more specifically what wireless driver modules? | 04:00 |
| techgeek40 | ridge: mean if I put sum=(a1)+(a1000) I can change the a1000 to a10000 | 04:00 |
| techgeek40 | very easily | 04:00 |
| compy | decipher7, tried that you have the tutorial so i can try it again or see if its a different one than i used | 04:00 |
| gmcastil | Gman99999: lsmod | 04:00 |
| decipher7 | compy: do you hav e32 bit firefox installed? | 04:00 |
| jwelcher | Quick Question: how can I tell if my updates are working to get to 6.06.2 if I do an "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" but I still see 6.06.1 when I look in /etc/lsb-release? | 04:00 |
| gmcastil | Gman99999: you'll need to know what the module name is | 04:00 |
| mnemonica | cellofellow: I used ctrl+f.... searched for both vscroll and vertscroll and Vertscroll. No results. | 04:00 |
| cellofellow | Tygir: There are a couple of packages in the repos, as far as I know. I haven't messed with it in almost a year. | 04:00 |
| compy | decipher7, yeah | 04:00 |
| Gman99999 | ok I will find out | 04:00 |
| gmcastil | Gman99999: so, lspci will tell you whats on your machine | 04:00 |
| Ububegin | nickrud: what should i name this file... it cant be anyname right | 04:00 |
| decipher7 | compy: all the libraries too? | 04:00 |
| techgeek40 | BrB | 04:00 |
| cellofellow | mnemonica: try just Scroll, I got tons of stuff. | 04:00 |
| neald | norv can you help me get mine going? I want to have (x)ubuntu, currently have debian. No CD or USB option. | 04:00 |
| Tygir | cellofellow: what am i supposed to search for? | 04:00 |
| nickrud | Ububegin: anything you like, yes | 04:00 |
| compy | decipher7, yep | 04:00 |
| cellofellow | Tygir: v4l | 04:01 |
| ridge-meister | techgeek40: kind of sad, isn't it? :D i mean, crap, in python or something it might only be a couple of lines to figure out what the last line in a file with data in it is.....oh well, i'll just use your last suggestion.......didn't really want to have to do it, but at least it won't occur that frequently | 04:01 |
| decipher7 | compy: flash just doesnt work? | 04:01 |
| nickrud | Ububegin: but apache2 seems a good name :) | 04:01 |
| norv | neald: errm, using the image was done through a USB thumb drive, so no | 04:01 |
| alsadk | gmcastil cellofellow , give me what i type exactly in the terminal | 04:01 |
| Ububegin | nickrud: :S really... k... thanks again | 04:01 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: fdisk /dev/<hard drive> | 04:01 |
| compy | decipher7, npoe | 04:01 |
| neald | norv should be pretty similar... or did you boot to usb? | 04:01 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: it'll be something like hda or hdb or maybe sda if you have newer drives | 04:01 |
| decipher7 | compy: can't help ya there. i havent tried it yet. | 04:02 |
| * nickrud wasn't a beginner when he did the rm -rf in a root terminal by mistake ;( | 04:02 | |
| compy | decipher7, hehe thanks | 04:02 |
| mnemonica | The only thing I'm finding is something about horizscroll. Did you even look at my xorg.conf? I gave you the pastebin link. I don't have anything about vertscroll anywhere. Maybe that's the problem. | 04:02 |
| Gman99999 | is there an easy way to remove modules? | 04:02 |
| norv | neald: I booted from usb, which had a version of syslinux and the images | 04:02 |
| Gman99999 | or is blacklisting a better option? | 04:02 |
| lunaphyte | hi | 04:02 |
| alsadk | gmcastil bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' | 04:02 |
| gmcastil | Gman99999: rmmod | 04:02 |
| cellofellow | gmcastil: in gutsy all drives are sd** now. | 04:02 |
| mnemonica | cellofellow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54280/ | 04:02 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: blacklisting is a much better idea than deleting them | 04:02 |
| decipher7 | np | 04:02 |
| gmcastil | cellofellow: he's using the livecd...and i think cd drives are still seen as hda | 04:03 |

| neald | norv right, I can't boot usb on mine, grr | 04:03 |
| norv | nickrud: that's why I replaced rm with mv $* ~/.trash | 04:03 |
| m55 | is there a copy command that shows a progress indicator? | 04:03 |
| nickrud | gmcastil, cellofellow and on my install, it's still hdX in gutsy | 04:03 |
| m55 | (terminal command) | 04:03 |
| cellofellow | mnemonica: sorry, I can't figure this out :$ | 04:03 |
| neald | Okay, I'm just going to have to do this the hard way and follow the init chain until I see where it hangs. I'll have it installed within a couple weeks I hope :) | 04:03 |

| norv | nickrud: it was a little more sophisticated than that, though because you do have to be able to delete things eventually | 04:04 |

| nickrud | norv: heh. Another decent safety net. I believe in multiple levels of preventing brain damage damaging my machine | 04:04 |
| mnemonica | cellofellow: Could you paste and send me your xorg.conf? | 04:04 |

| techgeek40 | I even did the ndiswrapper | 04:05 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: I know little about wireless ... | 04:05 |
| norv | cellofellow: I've had feisty and upgraded to gutsy and the only hd?? drive was the cdrom | 04:05 |
| gmcastil | techgeek40: that's probably the only way to make it work...and it still might not | 04:05 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud do you know how to remove two modules with the same name? | 04:05 |
| gmcastil | techgeek40: some of the older wireless pcmcia cards just plain sucked in linux | 04:05 |
| Tygir | cellofellow: i have the 2.6.24 kernel...does that matter? | 04:05 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: two modules with the same name? in use at the same time? | 04:06 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud I installed two rt2570 modules one from the aircrack mainpage and one from the proper source | 04:06 |
| alsadk | gmcastil ,Unable to open /dev/sda8 | 04:06 |
| techgeek40 | gmcastil: I'm noticing - but I even read the FAQ on netgear's site - got the lastest drivers for Windows 2000/XP and followed all the helpme / readme's I could | 04:06 |
| lunaphyte | i have a machine that is making a ton of dns queries. how can i determine which process(es) are causing this? | 04:06 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud this could be why my wireless has not been working | 04:06 |
| norv | Gnine: removing root? root's been "removed" by default already, right? | 04:06 |
| cellofellow | mnemonica: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54282/ | 04:06 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud; if you want to give it a shot - let me know I'll set up the laptop and do the commands to see if I can get you any info you need - I have the laptop with me tonight | 04:06 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: myself, I'd uninstall the aircrack one with make uninstall and reboot. I'm into brute force | 04:06 |
| gmcastil | lunaphyte: are they "whohas" queries? | 04:07 |
| cellofellow | mnemonica: the SHMConfig bit is so I could use gsynaptics to configure. | 04:07 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: /dev/sda | 04:07 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: sda8 is a partition...you want the actual device | 04:07 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud ok how should I properly word that to uninstall that? | 04:07 |
| cellofellow | Tygir: um, not sure... | 04:07 |
| techgeek40 | gmcastil: I will say this for XP/Vista - installation of drivers is not as indepth as it is in linux | 04:07 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud will that take care of both drivers? | 04:08 |
| gmcastil | techgeek40: no one argues that linux requires the same amount of brain matter as windows | 04:08 |
| cellofellow | techgeek40: normally you don't even /have/ to install drivers in Linux. That's what I like. | 04:08 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: in the directory where you did the make install , do make uninstall (assuming it's a well made Makefile in there | 04:08 |
| techgeek40 | LOL | 04:08 |
| lunaphyte | gmcastil: whohas? i don't think so. they're primarily queries for ptr records. | 04:08 |

| godlygeek | gmcastil: hm. nevermind. it's happening because of the setgid bit.. it only happens on an old edgy kernel, and not a new gutsy kernel... i can't imagine that anything other than the kernel could be behind the different /proc perms... | 04:09 |
| techgeek40 | gmcastil: the company I work for is asking me to get my linux running good (on my laptop that I take to work) so they can install their software with wine and sell it - but sadly - the application isn't working too well | 04:09 |
| alsadk | nickrud thx] | 04:09 |
| gmcastil | godlygeek: yeah, thats what i figured...i've enve worried about /proc | 04:09 |
| David37 | <---- new to ubuntu and i cant install my display drivers i have a 8800gt video card | 04:09 |

| techgeek40 | David: Nvidia? | 04:10 |
| godlygeek | gmcastil: well, if you still had a machine running edgy, you'd be bitten by this. heh... | 04:10 |

| gmcastil | techgeek40: yikes | 04:10 |
| techgeek40 | david: 32 or 64 bit version | 04:11 |
| David37 | no it says i dont have any restricted drivers | 04:11 |
| gmcastil | techgeek40: i'd probably take the time that they're giving you to learn linux | 04:11 |

| nickrud | Gman99999: then it's not a well made Makefile. You'll have to find the module in /lib/modules/$(uname -r) , figure out which is the one you installed, and delete it by hand | 04:15 |
| usacomputertec | I can't edit my GRUB | 04:15 |
| gmcastil | alsadk: uh...well, you're kinda screwed dude | 04:16 |
| danielax | techgeek40: i know it's an environment flag, or at least it was | 04:16 |
| seacat | usacomputertec, Then try editing menu.lst | 04:16 |
| danielax | usacomputertec: have you tried editing /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:16 |
| alsadk | gmcastil ??? explain | 04:16 |
| techgeek40 | novr: No, I mean - we have a lot customers that use our software for voice (voice recognition) which uses an app called speechgate - SDK - and that links to viavoice or dragon - | 04:16 |
| usacomputertec | I went here http://www.gnome-look.org/usermanager/search.php?username=merlwiz79&action=contents but I can't compile the source code | 04:16 |

| seacat | usacomputertec, The splash screen? | 04:17 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: I can fire up the laptop and if you want - give me some insight to what I should look for or commands I can type to get the information and I'll paste it for ya if you want | 04:17 |
| usacomputertec | no | 04:17 |
| usacomputertec | seact I can edit the spash screen | 04:17 |
| usacomputertec | it's the graphics on the first screen | 04:17 |
| usacomputertec | the GRUB menu | 04:17 |
| nemilar | Does anyone know the name of the command, that shows you the codes for the keys and mouse buttons? you press a button and it generates the info... | 04:17 |
| deahtihs | i got compiz, enabled the cube thing but i dontk now how to get it working. is there any way i can see the buttons that do what, like rotate etc. i got the rotation thing enabled too | 04:18 |
| nickrud | usacomputertec: You used gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst as your main user? | 04:18 |
| norv | techgeek40: well, does the app fail to run on Windows without speechgate/viavoice/dragon installed? | 04:18 |
| danielax | techgeek40: (you're the wine guy,right? - I loose track :) - umm - let me check on the wine web site | 04:18 |
| techgeek40 | LOL might even be a chance to see if nickrud would be very very nice and help me with the PCMCIA issue - he's pretty good so I have the utmost confidence he could get me on the right track (is kissing butt allowed in here? LOL) | 04:18 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud Ive got a list of directories which one would hold the driver I seek? madwifi? | 04:18 |
| techgeek40 | norv: nope - it can run without | 04:18 |
| alsadk | gmcastil i there something wrong? | 04:18 |
| norv | danielax: errm, it's not an app you can just get, so it wouldn't be on appdb | 04:18 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: LOL I have NO idea about wine - I just read and read and read | 04:19 |
| danielax | deahtihs: run the GL Desktop program in System->Pref..s->GL Desktop | 04:19 |
| norv | danielax: or it's very unlikely to be, at first I thought it was inhouse now i'm not sure | 04:19 |
| norv | techgeek40: okay, then the problem is not that | 04:19 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: no clue, really. you could try find /lib -iname rt2570 | 04:19 |
| techgeek40 | norv: but the settings I have (for want of a better word) is used for testing for both - since I support/do speech writting with a lot of our customers | 04:19 |
| seacat | usacomputertec, http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/#1.1 | 04:19 |
| danielax | norv: techgeek40: Im just looking for the flags to get it to be really really verbose | 04:19 |
| norv | techgeek40: well, unset the requirement that speech recognition be used first, to rule that out | 04:20 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: two problems there: I've never used pcmcia , and my wireles Works for Me™ :) | 04:20 |
| techgeek40 | norv: I wouldn't say that - only for the fact that the settings I have right now would be for netframe that is calling for it - but I never did just create a new user and go that rough (duh me) | 04:20 |

| mon^rch | hello... how can I get a program to always start maximized? | 04:21 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud I guess Im proabbly looking at wiping ubuntu and re-installing from scratch | 04:22 |
| danielax | try WINEDEBUG=+all,-relay wine program_name | 04:22 |
| decipher7 | indygunfreak: I reinstalled Ubuntu, this time i went with amd64 and worked out some kinks with firefox and usplash | 04:22 |
| norv | mon^rch: I think only devilspie or the app's own remembered settings (if it has any) can do that | 04:22 |

| Gman99999 | seacat IVe got two modules installed witht he same name for the same device one of which I dont want installed anymore | 04:23 |
| Gman99999 | seacat both of which are rt2570 | 04:24 |
| alsadk | gmcastil thx | 04:24 |
| Gman99999 | seacat I found the module in lib/modules/ its in the extra directory | 04:24 |
| seacat | Gman99999, That's not much of a problem. | 04:24 |
| Gman99999 | seacat I checked the make file and it said its installed in that directory | 04:25 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: do the find command I gave you earlier, you should get two files back. One of those is the new one. ls -l each, the newer is most likely the new one. If you can't tell, delete both and do sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-$(uname -r) (will reinstall the ubuntu module) | 04:25 |
| usacomputertec | woops | 04:25 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Not worthy of needing to reinstall | 04:25 |
| usacomputertec | looks like I opened that link in the wrong system | 04:25 |
| chrisov | greetings | 04:25 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud that command didnt work but I found the module in extras | 04:25 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: then sudo rm <file> in extras, if you're sure | 04:26 |
| Gman99999 | nickrud its called rt2570.ko | 04:26 |
| chrisov | who can help me with nvidia 8600m GS drivers? | 04:26 |
| techgeek40 | Back | 04:26 |
| seacat | Gman99999, What command did nickrud give you? | 04:26 |
| techgeek40 | you may now scream in terror (hhehehe) | 04:26 |

| techgeek40 | danielax: I do that every morning I have to look at myself in the mirror | 04:27 |
| nickrud | seacat: find /lib -iname rt2570 | 04:27 |
| Gman99999 | seacat he gave me find /lib -iname rt2570 | 04:27 |
| techgeek40 | okay - any luck with the verbose ??? | 04:27 |
| Gman99999 | seacat when we were trying to find the modules | 04:28 |
| nickrud | doh | 04:28 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Yea, or: sudo updatedb ; locate rt2570 | 04:28 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud: what's the best way to see if gutsy is even seeing my nick card? | 04:28 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: doh. 'rt2540*' should have been the last one, brain damage on my part | 04:28 |
| danielax | techgeek40: so what does the last few lines of WINEDEBUG=+all,-relay wine program_name say? | 04:28 |
| techqbert | screw transmission, we should make deluge official. posters on ubuntu forums even wrote the software. its brilliant. | 04:28 |
| gmcastil | hmmm...the man page for dpkg sucks | 04:28 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Is the module actually loading? See: lsmod |grep rt2570 | 04:29 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: I'm not even sure where pcmcia cards show up. | 04:29 |
| norv | nickrud: techgeek40: lspci | 04:29 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: ahhhh - not sure I could even find that | 04:29 |
| danielax | gmcastil: maybe that because you're supposed to use apt-get or aptitude | 04:29 |
| danielax | techgeek40: ? you're the guy with the wine question, righ? | 04:30 |
| David37 | i typed in terminal lspci it had vga comp. contr. unknown device 0611 (rev a 2) | 04:30 |
| gmcastil | danielax: yeah...god forbid i actually use the programs on my system | 04:30 |
| * nickrud needs to get a pcmcia card, just for kicks someday | 04:30 | |
| danielax | David37: hmm | 04:30 |
| techgeek40 | yeap | 04:30 |
| compy | if i have a folder named DVD Decrypter/ with the space between the two words... how do i access it in the terminal.... | 04:30 |

| gmcastil | danielax: besides....apt-get won't tell you what packages own a file | 04:30 |
| Alyxander | or really stupid question, How do i get the windows that are not in focus to become transparent? | 04:31 |
| Gman99999 | seacat ok I tired the command and nothing happened | 04:31 |
| nickrud | David37, danielax the 8800gt isn't supported by the nvidia drivers in ubuntu I don't think. | 04:31 |
| danielax | David37: you can try to configure it as a vesa or vga card | 04:31 |
| danielax | David37: although you won't get any acelleration | 04:31 |
| David37 | anyone have a link to a step by step nvidia display driver for an 8800gt? | 04:31 |

| gmcastil | danielax: dpkg -S <filename> is different | 04:32 |
| danielax | techgeek40: I have exactly the same pcmcia ethernet card | 04:32 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: i'm not finding a winedebug file anywhere | 04:32 |
| nickrud | Gman99999: locate rt2570 | grep /lib/modules , that will skip all the stuff in the directory you compiled it in | 04:32 |

| seacat | Gman99999, Not really, would just need to search for one. But first off, is that the correct module? | 04:37 |
| norv | techgeek40: the only way to get your networking is use ndiswrapper, it appears, because they only have a windows driver for it | 04:37 |
| techgeek40 | Carbonflux: yeap - i think I understood some of it too :> | 04:37 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: the signal from mars was the debug report | 04:37 |

| seacat | Gman99999, You installed what from Gusty CD? | 04:40 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: and when it's done - where does the "file" for the bugreport get saved? so I can paste it | 04:40 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: you can install the ndiswrapper driver it with from the terminal - you need the original windows driver cd | 04:40 |

| techgeek40 | I get the msg that the inf file has already been installed | 04:40 |

| zachalink | ya, I'm just having problems c onnecting with the mac | 04:40 |

| regulate | my media keys stopped working , what gives? | 04:43 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: what did ndiswrapper say? | 04:43 |
| apparle | nickrud: and gmcastil: I donot have net at home and hence I download packages on an XP box and take them home through pendrive?? Now what should I do | 04:43 |
| Gman99999 | seacat Ive tried it on ndiswrapper but it wont join networks that are encrypted | 04:43 |
| Gman99999 | seacat im guessing its got a bad ndiswrapper driver | 04:43 |
| techgeek40 | that it was already installed - tried both xp and 2000 inf files | 04:44 |
| norv | Gibb: xubuntu is also supposed to have a toolbar and doesn't look any different, that is the default desktop Xfce | 04:44 |
| nickrud | apparle: put all the packages you downloaded into one directory with nothing else in it, then sudo dpkg -i * | 04:44 |
| oxeimon | so I'm running gutsy on my t61p, and even after editing my /etc/acpi-support, I still can't get suspend to work all the time. Sometimes it resumes correctly, but other times I just get a blank screen. Any ideas? | 04:44 |
| gmcastil | apparle: uh.......read the man pages and figure out the right options for apt-get to tell you what packages need to be installed | 04:44 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: ah. well i dunno then :( | 04:44 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Yes, ok. I plugged one into my Laptop last month and it worked fine. A friend of mine had it at our local LUG. It worked just fine. I did not download anything, It just worked. | 04:44 |
| gmcastil | apparle: or...take your box to work or something | 04:44 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: no debug report in there :< | 04:44 |
| Tensop | hmm, come across an interesting issue with ALSA + hda-intel | 04:44 |
| danielax_ | hmm | 04:45 |
| norv | Gman99999: lots of ndiswrappered driveres have no ability to handle encryption, some can't do WAP, some can't even do WEP | 04:45 |
| Tensop | ive compiled the 1.0.16rc2 into alpha3 using snapshots of the latest libs+utils off the suse FTP | 04:45 |
| nickrud | apparle: and for the future, look into apt-zip , it's designed to help with that | 04:45 |
| Tensop | firing up alsasound reports no soundcard detected, but sound is working | 04:45 |
| Gman99999 | seacat ok I plugged it in too and well it didnt work I dont know why | 04:45 |
| nickrud | !hardy | Tensop | 04:45 |
| ubotu | Tensop: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 04:45 |
| Gman99999 | seacat no wait it did work my bad | 04:45 |
| seacat | Gman99999, And a week later, I installed drivers for it on another friend's Slackware Laptop and that one worked ok too. | 04:45 |
| Gibb | norv: uh oh. I dont have the toolbar - is there a trick to accessing it? | 04:45 |
| Gman99999 | seacat but then I loaded the other driver stopped working | 04:45 |
| Tensop | hehe, the issue would still apply to gutsy gibon release ;) | 04:46 |
| Gman99999 | seacat how do i get the original driver for it to work again? | 04:46 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: so from the terminal, you ran wine, then type ls | 04:46 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Well, don't load another driver when it's already working... | 04:46 |
| apparle | nickrud: This is a differentt query. I f I have 2 packages with 1 depending on other in a folder and I use 'sudo dpkg -i *' will the dependencies get resolved | 04:46 |
| norv | Gibb: can you start terminal? | 04:46 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: you should see debugreport listed | 04:46 |
| seacat | Gman99999, sudo apt-get install rt2570 | 04:46 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: mmm no - I used the "explorer" window and just went to the folder that the exe is in and doubled clicked | 04:46 |
| danielax_ | ah. | 04:46 |
| techgeek40 | <---bows head - that's the wrong way to do it, ain't it :< | 04:46 |
| danielax_ | well you won't get a debug report that way | 04:47 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Or sudo apt-get install rt2570* | 04:47 |
| Gibb | norv: I only have icons on the desktop and nothing else - my two hdds, a floppy, the trash can, file system, examples, and install | 04:47 |
| gmcastil | techgeek40: there are more things than i can count wrong with that | 04:47 |
| danielax_ | ok, so go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal | 04:47 |
| norv | apparle: dpkg has about as much dependency resolution as pkg_add in slackware/etc | 04:47 |
| techgeek40 | gmcastil: me too | 04:47 |
| gmcastil | :) | 04:47 |
| nickrud | apparle: yes, dpkg will handle that fine. The * matches all files in that directory. If you have other ones, you can do sudo dpkg -i <deb1> <deb2> by name | 04:47 |
| techgeek40 | terminal open | 04:47 |
| danielax_ | ok. | 04:47 |
| norv | nickrud: apparle: sorry, thought it couldn't | 04:47 |
| Gman99999 | seacat yea I shouldnt mess with those, Ive loaded those before too | 04:47 |
| danielax_ | now, type cd path/to/where/your/program/is | 04:48 |
| norv | last thing I installed failed due to missing dependencies even though it was in aptitude.. that's a bit different | 04:48 |
| zachalink | norv: yes, it's running on a samba server | 04:48 |
| Gman99999 | seacat I'll try the original driver and see if things work | 04:48 |
| apparle | norv: I am new to linux and don't know anything about Slackware | 04:48 |
| ePax | I'm getting message in Vbox that usb device is not found or not installed on this system. Do i need to add my account to some group or? i'm allready in vbousers group. I read that i might have to create on group called usbusers or something? | 04:48 |
| nickrud | norv: yeah, a bit different. I'm impressed that apparle got all the dependencies first try :) | 04:48 |
| Tygir | does anyone know why i would get a X Window system error on cheese? | 04:48 |
| norv | zachalink: any particular error message when you try to connect? | 04:48 |
| apparle | nickrud: I cannot use apt-zip as the other box has WinXP on it. | 04:49 |
| gmcastil | can someone explain how apt-get manages GPG keys for different repositories? | 04:49 |
| zachalink | well, no, but the thing is: the mac network doesn't show up in "Networks" | 04:49 |
| Tygir | The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. | 04:49 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: how's that going? | 04:49 |
| Tygir | (Details: serial 41 error_code 11 request_code 140 minor_code 19) | 04:49 |
| zachalink | *"Network" | 04:49 |
| === taka is now known as adhek^baek^ | ||
| techgeek40 | I'm there | 04:49 |
| seacat | Tygir, Not sure, but most of the errors I get just show up on the screen. | 04:49 |
| ePax | orka | 04:49 |
| zachalink | Only what's called a "Windows Network". | 04:49 |
| apparle | nickrud: I get all the dependencies as I have made a list of what all is installed on my pc and compare it while downloading dependencies | 04:50 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: so if you type ls<enter>, do you see your program listed? | 04:50 |
| yanger | egads! i have a partition in jfs format, somehow it crashed just a moment ago, and now all my files are missing.. did a fsck and now i have files in lost+found ... is there an order to how they are thrown into the lost and found? | 04:50 |
| gmcastil | apparle: wow...thats crazy | 04:50 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: wwell, I do dir - but yes - I see the program(s) | 04:50 |
| norv | Gibb: very likely xfce4 stuff just outright didn't install, or there was something wrong during installation. can't suggest reinstalling really, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was more critical stuff missing | 04:50 |
| danielax_ | ok | 04:50 |
| danielax_ | so now type the WINEDEBUG cmd above, and hit enter | 04:51 |
| nickrud | apparle: apt-zip creates a script that uses wget to download the files; easily translated to a msdos script | 04:51 |
| techgeek40 | <---did as danielax asked - did ls (I know that one too - but dir is old hate holdover :>) | 04:51 |
| Tygir | seacat: the program genius! | 04:51 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Did you ever check to see if that driver was being loaded in the first place? lsmod |grep rt2570 | 04:51 |
| zachalink | norv: I have a problem with the mac network showing up in "Network", no error messages though. | 04:51 |
| Gibb | norv: its booting off the cd if that makes any difference | 04:51 |
| techgeek40 | zachalink: you got bootcamp running? | 04:51 |
| zachalink | norv: Is there a way to manually connect to the mac network? | 04:51 |
| norv | Gibb: oh, slightly better but I wouldn't do an install off of that cd.. | 04:51 |
| apparle | gmcastil: When all odds are against you, then to get things done you have to becomne crazy | 04:51 |
| zachalink | techgeek40: No, they're two seperate computers running. | 04:52 |
| Gibb | oh no. it was my last blank | 04:52 |
| zachalink | One is a linux box and one is an iMac. | 04:52 |
| techgeek40 | zachalink: otay - :> | 04:52 |
| vecna | hi how do I report a Bug with BOINC on Hardy Heron? | 04:52 |
| russ | Is anyone aware of a linux program that can convert an mp3 to apple aac format? | 04:52 |
| Gman99999 | seacat that command does nothing | 04:52 |
| norv | zachalink: you can try connecting with smbclient, if you know the mac's ip address | 04:52 |
| apparle | nickrud: Could you come oftopic and please explain it in more detail as I am new user | 04:52 |
| nickrud | vecna: bugs.launchpad.net . You should discuss it on #ubuntu+1 first though | 04:52 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Then the module was not loading and that is the problem. | 04:52 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: so after you run wine (through command line, like i said), you can type gedit debugreport &<enter>, | 04:52 |
| nickrud | apparle: it's been a few years since I used it, but sure | 04:53 |
| zachalink | norv: And how exactly would I do that? | 04:53 |
| Gman99999 | seacat hmmmm I know the rt2500usb module was loading | 04:53 |
| danielax_ | russ: yess, iTunes. Oh sorry, did you want linux software? sorry :) | 04:53 |
| hsystemxX | . | 04:53 |
| seacat | Gman99999, sudo insmod rt2570 | 04:53 |
| Gman99999 | seacat which did bother me | 04:53 |
| Gman99999 | seacat I got this for an output insmod: can't read 'rt2570': No such file or directory | 04:53 |
| seacat | Gman99999, or: sudo modprobe rt2570 | 04:53 |
| russ | danielax_ yeah, some free software to convert to a non-free format - maybe an oxymoron | 04:54 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: did I miss something - I'm not even sure how run the ecl.exe (that' the program) via a termial for wine - I'm suppose to run that or the WINEDEBUG stuff first? | 04:54 |
| VoiceOfApollo | is there a common reason that I wouldn't be able to chat on other networks? | 04:54 |
| seacat | Gman99999, You deleted the object file? | 04:54 |
| Gman99999 | seacat says it cant find the module | 04:54 |
| danielax_ | russ: yeah - just joking with you | 04:54 |
| Gman99999 | seacat yes its the bad one we uninstalled remeber? | 04:54 |
| Flughafen | can anyone recommend an mp3 player that supports .ogg? | 04:54 |
| russ | danielax_ i understand iTunes will run using wine though | 04:54 |
| nemilar | Flughafen: they pretty much all do | 04:54 |
| seacat | Gman99999, You deleted rt2570 ? | 04:54 |
| wims | how do i change compiz theme ? | 04:54 |
| seacat | Gman99999, You deleted rt2570.k0 ? | 04:54 |
| nemilar | Flughafen: as long as you have the libraries instealled | 04:54 |
| VoiceOfApollo | mp3 player for linux? | 04:55 |
| Flughafen | nemilar, ipod doesnt | 04:55 |
| seacat | Gman99999, You deleted rt2570.ko ? | 04:55 |
| Gman99999 | seacat yes that's the one | 04:55 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: umm - so at terminal, type WINEDEBUG=+all,-relay wine <program_name> 2>&1 > debugreport<enter> | 04:55 |
| hsystemxX | .ogg? XMMS. sudo apt-get install xmms | 04:55 |
| nemilar | Flughafen: oh, sorry - I thought you meant software, haha | 04:55 |
| danielax_ | russ: try to avoid that :) | 04:55 |
| Flughafen | haha, sorry, i mean portable mp3 player | 04:55 |
| apparle | nickrud: Please explain it as I am becoming crazy doing all this >>[ATI graphic card], [sound card not working with ALSA], [lastly its very difficult to install simple softwares | 04:55 |
| seacat | That is why it's not loading, or trying to load, because you have deleted it. | 04:55 |
| russ | danielax_ my feelings exactly | 04:55 |
| crdlb | wims: compiz itself doesn't have any themes, it has decorators which have their own theming support | 04:55 |
| wims | !compiz < wims | 04:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz < wims - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:55 |
| zachalink | norv: can you tell me how to use that smbclient? | 04:55 |
| nemilar | Flughafen: you can find a list of them on the web | 04:55 |
| Gman99999 | seacat Ive got the good one to re-install if i want to | 04:55 |
| wims | !compiz | wims | 04:55 |
| nemilar | Flughafen: cross-reference that with reviews on cnet or somewhere | 04:55 |
| norv | zachalink: looking up the man page as I no longer ever touch samba | 04:55 |
| techgeek40 | it's running it's geekspeak LOL | 04:56 |
| Flughafen | nemilar, im reading some reviews but im just seeing if anyone here uses a non apple one that supports .ogg | 04:56 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Ok, so install it and it should load up and work for you. | 04:56 |
| crdlb | wims: if you're using gtk-windoew-decorator, then it uses your metacity theme; if you use emerald, then it uses the emerald theme | 04:56 |
| danielax_ | wims: you can also do /msg ubotu compiz | 04:56 |
| nickrud | apparle: the bottom line for ubuntu is you really need internet for it to be useful | 04:56 |
| xGeek | huh | 04:56 |
| cbquick | If i have basic quetions about linux and c programming where should i go? | 04:56 |
| gmcastil | apt-key | 04:56 |
| apparle | nickrud: But i want to make it usable without internet | 04:56 |
| gmcastil | ... | 04:56 |
| nickrud | cbquick: #linux and ##c | 04:56 |
| gmcastil | apparle: you can't - go home - go to sleep | 04:57 |
| danielax_ | cbquick: possibly google too | 04:57 |
| Gman99999 | seacat ok, its funny though that even when i did load it, that module would never load at startup, this other module called rt2500usb would load up and when i tried to unload it it would freeze and cause all sorts of problems | 04:57 |
| hsystemxX | Flughafen, recommend you to buy an ipod, and install in the ipod "iPOD Linux" "http://ipodlinux.org/" | 04:57 |
| nickrud | apparle: get it to the net, install the stuff you want, then disconnect | 04:57 |
| wweasel | I'm having trouble with my rsync include/exclude statements. Any rsync guru who can spare a minute to help me figure out why I'm not managing to exclude a folder and include one of its subfolders? | 04:57 |
| danielax_ | apparle: you can use it, you just have a hard time installing new programs | 04:57 |
| cbquick | thanks, tried google | 04:57 |
| Carbonflux | has anyone here used wine from a XP ( NTFS ) partition ? | 04:57 |
| Flughafen | hsystemxX, ive had many ipods and i kinda wanna try something different for a while | 04:57 |
| danielax_ | cbquick: than nickrud's advice :) | 04:57 |
| Gman99999 | seacat I could never get rid of this rt2500usb module | 04:57 |
| norv | zachalink: okay, smbclient //SERVER/share | 04:57 |
| russ | cbquick an oldie but goodie book is "the unix programming environment" by kernighan and pike | 04:57 |
| hsystemxX | or try ROCKBOX on those ipod (Y) | 04:58 |
| norv | zachalink: where SERVER is the mac's NETBios name and share is the shared dir | 04:58 |
| seacat | Gman99999, Well, I wonder what was causing your computer to freeze ....? | 04:58 |
| Gman99999 | seacat trying to rmmod the rt2500 one | 04:58 |
| nickrud | russ: kernigan and richie , I learned from the first edition :) | 04:58 |
| Flughafen | hsystemxX, ive tried rockbox, and liked it | 04:58 |
| apparle | nickrud: Immpossible as it is a not a laptop and moreover I don't have enough permissions at home to move the box as I am young (17) | 04:58 |
| danielax_ | Carbonflux: I've tried to compile it off an XP partiton - it doesn't work (symlinks) | 04:58 |
| Gman99999 | seacat my network manager likes to freeze alot | 04:59 |
| zachalink | where do I type that in? terminal? | 04:59 |
| norv | zachalink: btw, can you access any other systems via samba through your Ubuntu box? | 04:59 |
| Flughafen | hsystemxX, a few days after installing it my ipod died though | 04:59 |
| cbquick | thank you all | 04:59 |
| Gman99999 | seacat and has been very buggy | 04:59 |
| Flughafen | so i dont think im gonna mess with the firmware this time | 04:59 |
| zachalink | not sure, the mac is the oly other system | 04:59 |
| zachalink | *only | 04:59 |
| russ | nikrud kernighan is a coauthor of many interesting books I had K&R too | 04:59 |
| nickrud | apparle: then you're kinda stuck, really. Linux is fundamentally a networked os | 04:59 |
| gmcastil | K&R...yeah...kinda important | 04:59 |
| seacat | Gman99999, What is your kernel version? uname -a | 04:59 |
| techgeek40 | daniellax: well, the terminal window goes batty - but hangs at the end - I have to type exit but it doesn't save the report | 04:59 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: how's it going? | 04:59 |
| zachalink | norv: but do I type that in terminal? | 04:59 |
| norv | zachalink: yes | 04:59 |
| apparle | gmcastil: If you can't help at least donot discourage people ;) | 05:00 |
| Gman99999 | seacat Linux unknown 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux | 05:00 |
| norv | zachalink: and the linux server can be thought of as another system... if THAT doesn't appear locally something's really up | 05:00 |
| danielax_ | can you just copy-paste the stuff on terminal to pastebin? | 05:00 |
| gmcastil | apparle: you're asking for something that isn't practical | 05:00 |
| gmcastil | apparle: not being discouraging...just stating the obvious truth | 05:00 |
| zachalink | what does the mac's netbios name mean? the ip address? | 05:01 |
| techgeek40 | yeah - the last dozen or so lines - but I'll get ya what I can - maybe the "end" section will show you what you need | 05:01 |
| gmcastil | apparle: get a job and a network connection | 05:01 |
| nickrud | apparle: I do know what you're talking about, I lived at the bottom of a 3k pipe for over a year, it was excruciating even with that | 05:01 |
| danielax_ | apparle: it also depends on what you want to do. if you just want to do default stuff, you can just install off the cd without updates | 05:01 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: ohhh, that was harsh | 05:01 |
| techgeek40 | !paste | 05:01 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 05:01 |
| danielax_ | apparle: on a 56k modem, that was what Idid | 05:01 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: i'm a little buzzed...and a lot tired of noob questions :) sorry | 05:01 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: sounds good :) | 05:01 |
| norv | zachalink: it could be the ip address, and I think that IP address will invariably work. Whatever is the case, if the systems aren't on the same subnet... well that's ruled out | 05:02 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: true, but harsh more correctly | 05:02 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: here you go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54287/ | 05:02 |
| nickrud | 'true but harsh' that is | 05:02 |
| kaz1nsky | my monitor loses signal after being in tty1-6 for a little bit, and then i cant switch back to tty7 any ideas? | 05:02 |
| apparle | gmcastil: I am practically using it for 6 months and will keep using it whatever may be the odds. Because the other option is Windows and it s***s | 05:02 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: i know.... | 05:02 |
| wweasel | Can someone who understands rsync exclude/include statements help me fix the fact that this does not work (I think you'll see my intent): --exclude="/media/*/" --include="/media/data" | 05:02 |
| gmcastil | wweasel: man rsync | 05:02 |
| gmcastil | for god's sakes people use the freaking man pages!!! | 05:02 |
| nickrud | !rtfm | 05:03 |
| ubotu | Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 05:03 |
| wweasel | gmcastil: I've read the relevant man page. It's more helpful than you, but not helpful enouhg. | 05:03 |
| WGGMk | curious as to what jfgi is | 05:03 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: hmm. not sure - I can see it's crashing though :| | 05:03 |
| danielax_ | WGGMk: just f google it | 05:04 |
| wweasel | WGGMk: just f***** google it | 05:04 |
| hsystemxX | haha nice answer wweasel | 05:04 |
| danielax_ | now you know :) | 05:04 |
| WGGMk | thnx, havent seen that one | 05:04 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: does it use stuff like COM objects? | 05:04 |
| edju | Installed amd64 kubuntu. Anything special to install firefox? | 05:04 |
| wweasel | So does anyone here know how to exclude a folder and include one of its subfolders in rsync? | 05:05 |
| hsystemxX | erm edju, have you tried sudo apt-get install firefox | 05:05 |
| hsystemxX | ? | 05:05 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: lol, take a break, spend some time on #debian and come back to the gentler side :) | 05:05 |
| norv | edju: make sure to get the 32-bit firefox if you care about flash and such plugins working | 05:05 |
| apparle | gmcastil: It seems that kubuntu people are more helping bye | 05:05 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: yea - it uses comports and usb ports | 05:06 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: ah | 05:06 |
| techgeek40 | BUT they are not brought into play unless the customer starts what we call a real time session for the writers | 05:06 |
| wweasel | apparle: Anyone is more helpful than gmcastil at the moment. Take my word for it, jerks like him are fairly rare on this channel. You generally find some pretty helpful people. | 05:06 |
| edju | norv, Thanks, that's what I needed to know. | 05:06 |
| norv | gmcastil: it's surprising Kubuntu actually works out of the box more often.. at least for every system I've tried it on | 05:06 |
| samad | hello all, i just installed Ubuntu 7.10 running an ATI Radeon x600 with the Proprietary fglrx driver. When I go into appearances -> visual effects and choose anything but 'none' and an error tells me that "The Composite Extension is not available" anyone have any ideas how i can fix that? | 05:06 |
| techgeek40 | Otherwise the comports just sit there wihtout being called | 05:06 |
| danielax_ | might i suggest trying an alternative to wine. | 05:06 |
| apparle | nickrud: I am extremely thankful for your help. I will look into apt-zip thing. Thanks | 05:07 |
| apparle | wweasel: :D | 05:07 |
| norv | danielax_: there isn't one except for true virtualization and actually running windows inside | 05:07 |
| techgeek40 | danielax: here is what the software is for - you know the people that sit with their little writers in court - taking down what the lawyers, judges and witnesses say? | 05:07 |
| kaz1nsky | anyone know why my monitor loses its signal in tty1-6? | 05:07 |
| WGGMk | Im haveing trouble starting DansGuardian on my server (Gutsy amd64).. when using "sudo /etc/init.d/dansguardian start" it just hangs forever.. Another question, a .pid file? is this process id? if so, does this only exist when its running | 05:07 |
| apparle | Anybody knows a GUI frontend for Mencoder | 05:07 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: hmm | 05:08 |
| norv | techgeek40: court reporters, yes | 05:08 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: there's a vertical market for you | 05:08 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: if it's commercial, codeweavers might be the best bet | 05:08 |
| nickrud | apparle: wweasel gmcastil has been very helpful to many already. Everyone has their bad moments | 05:08 |
| danielax_ | techgeek40: it's way way beyond my expertese :) | 05:08 |
| danielax_ | norv: yeah - you're right | 05:08 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: thanks....i'm drunk right now | 05:08 |
| norv | danielax_: aren't codeweavers and cedega just forks of the old BSD Wine? | 05:09 |
| apparle | nickrud: We are joking | 05:09 |
| techgeek40 | Okay - the software takes what they write (which is phonetics - like fplt would mean a period) and would translate that into english words - now the "real time" is ONLY used if a write is connected and writing - other wise the ports are NEVER brought into play | 05:09 |
| Carbonflux | Has anyone tried running Wine off a XP drive in 7.10? with NTFS write working etc. | 05:09 |
| wweasel | nickrud: Alright, that's fair. Still...well, i was about to say that he must be drunk jokingly, but apparently he is :P | 05:09 |
| lufis | I'm trying to set up sshd on ubuntu to serve putty on windows on a remote box. Can someone walk me thru creating crypto keys, etc.? | 05:09 |
| techgeek40 | yeah we get a TON asking if linux would be best to use - and my view - yes - it's FAR more stable than windows | 05:09 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: been there, done that, been embarrassed. Took a year off. Don't do the same :) | 05:10 |
| gmcastil | and...u'll ignore the mena things someone said earlier...i've had 1/2 a bottle of wine in the past hour | 05:10 |
| apparle | gmcastil: I am joking don't take it seriously. I know you people are helpful | 05:10 |
| danielax_ | norv: codewavers does commercial support/development for wine. It seems to get code integrated into the main wine frequently | 05:10 |
| techgeek40 | Carbon: I did - not a pretty site lol | 05:10 |
| danielax_ | anyway, all, I'm off to eat lunch | 05:10 |
| groovingsoul | ¿anyone knows what to do on singularity:endgame? they allways catch me, even if i destroy my servers, stop researching, or even if i dont build anything | 05:10 |
| wweasel | oh god...my only issue with rsync include/exclude was order of statements. | 05:10 |
| danielax_ | at 10 past 2, anyway :) | 05:10 |
| gmcastil | apparle: i've been using linux as an admin and user for about 5 years now...just siwtched to ubuntu and this is the first time i've been on these forums | 05:10 |
| norv | techgeek40: sounds like something that basic GNU userland can do | 05:10 |
| gmcastil | apparle: i don't mind helping newbies...i was one once too | 05:10 |
| techgeek40 | I take it the codeweavrs is like wine???? and built for ubuntu/linux? | 05:10 |
| techgeek40 | GNU?????? | 05:11 |
| danielax_ | cya all | 05:11 |
| naffy-duck | oh good gmcastil, u might help me then | 05:11 |
| techgeek40 | Take care daniel - thanks for the help | 05:11 |
| apparle | gmcastil: Don't worry, I will not remain a newbie for long | 05:11 |
| gmcastil | apparle: but, you'll probably get an earful every now and then - i have high standards | 05:11 |
| Jangari | can someone help me modify a brief bash script so as to word on a specified directory rather than the working directory? | 05:11 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: yes? | 05:11 |
| Jangari | work* | 05:11 |
| norv | techgeek40: err, what you described is something like text replacement, which looks like regexps could do the job | 05:11 |
| pawsmacker | is there a dump of ubotu i can download and add to my own supybot? | 05:11 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: codeweavers is for any linux | 05:12 |
| wweasel | gmcastil: Telling them to rtfm in a few more words isn't going to help them much. Having been around linux for a few years it didn't bother me too much. but I can imagine i wouldn't appreciate it if I were new to this | 05:12 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil, can i run vista and ubuntu from one disk on my pressario laptop? | 05:12 |
| gmcastil | wweasel: ...and i'm buzzed as shit | 05:12 |
| techgeek40 | norv: for simplistic reasons - yea text replacement on the lowest level - but trust me - NOT on the upper levels - | 05:12 |
| wweasel | gmcastil: Fair enough :) | 05:12 |
| southroad | 有说中文的马 | 05:12 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: yeah..as long as you have at least one free partition | 05:12 |
| hsystemxX | naffy-duck, Yes. | 05:12 |
| nickrud | !cn | southroad | 05:12 |
| ubotu | southroad: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk | 05:12 |
| norv | techgeek40: upper levels? | 05:12 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud: I'll read up on it - I've saved the chat window so I can look into it | 05:12 |
| southroad | THX | 05:13 |
| techgeek40 | norv: yeah - it also uses audio - video and voice recognition | 05:13 |
| nickrud | techgeek40: oriented towards office stuff, like cedega is oriented towards games | 05:13 |
| jazzles | hello there | 05:13 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil k, so i must create one partition soley for ubuntu | 05:13 |
| jazzles | is there some sort of problem with jackd in the gutsy repos? | 05:13 |
| techgeek40 | norv: it is replacing text - but it's a lot more indepth than that | 05:13 |
| hsystemxX | naffy-duck, divide your disk in 2 partitions, then install vista in 1 partition, and ubuntu in the other. (easiest way). | 05:13 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: actually, at least 2 | 05:13 |
| techgeek40 | nickrud: I'll have to check out cedega too - I have a few windows games I'd like to play on here | 05:13 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil ?? | 05:13 |
| techgeek40 | butttt - for now - I have to get it's late and I have work tomorrow | 05:14 |
| hsystemxX | naffy-duck, divide your disk in 2 partitions, then install vista in 1 partition, and ubuntu in the other. (easiest way). | 05:14 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: you'll need a swap partition and then a filesystem for the OS | 05:14 |
| techgeek40 | you all have a good one and thanks for the help | 05:14 |
| norv | techgeek40: voice recognition is the more problematic aspect, and I doubt you'd ever find a replacement for that because of the hard cash in the industry | 05:14 |
| techgeek40 | Night all | 05:14 |
| gmcastil | techgeek40: later | 05:14 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | anyone here any good at configuring X? I'm trying to run multiple sessions on multiple monitors, but can't quite get it right... | 05:14 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: do you have free space on your drive? | 05:14 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil yes, plenty | 05:14 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: sorry....i meant a free partition | 05:15 |
| hsystemxX | naffy-duck, delete the entire vista :D hehe. | 05:15 |
| hsystemxX | joke* sorry. | 05:15 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: hard drives can be divided into several partitions | 05:15 |
| deahtihs | is there some sort of way i can type in terminal something like 'say woopie' | 05:15 |
| deahtihs | or just type and it says while i'm typing | 05:15 |
| deahtihs | and that i can disable when i want | 05:15 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil no, no free partition, so this is the scarey part :( | 05:15 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: yeah, you'll need to reinstall windows, then | 05:15 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: i don't know of a reliable way (i'm sure there is one) of resizing an existing NTFS partitoin | 05:15 |
| levander | Where can I configure how my workspacs work? Like, if I want four workspaces instead of the default two? Or, if I just want 1 workspace? | 05:16 |
| deahtihs | is there a text to speech thing here on ubuntu | 05:16 |
| hsystemxX | gmcastil, tell him to use partition magic... | 05:16 |
| naffy-duck | ack, i have a vista home edition restore disk, but vista came installed - do i have a problem? | 05:16 |
| hsystemxX | it seem that he only read your messages. | 05:16 |
| gmcastil | levander: right click on the desktop pager thingy in your taskbar | 05:16 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil im running an amd64 processor too | 05:16 |
| apparle | naffy-duck: It's your laptop isn't it?? I f yes then why do you worry about installing windows again | 05:16 |
| nickrud | !install | naffy-duck this page has some info, you can resize the windows partition during install | 05:17 |
| ubotu | naffy-duck this page has some info, you can resize the windows partition during install: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 05:17 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: if you really want to keep vista (not recommended) you'l need to resize the partition using something like partition magic | 05:17 |
| levander | gmcastil: Thanks, but I was hoping for a few more options. Like, when I move my mouse off the screen towards another workspace, I was hoping I would switch to that workspace. I've had that behavior in the past. Although, I'm not sure if I've had it with GNOME. | 05:17 |
| gmcastil | levander: i don't think you can do that...there's an option that will let you use the mousewheel over the background to go from one workspace to another | 05:18 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud k, tks, and a few other questions.. | 05:18 |
| nickrud | levander: install brightside , it can be configured to do that | 05:18 |
| iNTRONIX | Has someone tested Steam on Ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| hsystemxX | iNTRONIX, no, but there is some guide at google. | 05:18 |
| gmcastil | levander: the sort of behavior you're talking about would drive me nuts, though | 05:18 |
| hsystemxX | about that... | 05:18 |
| hsystemxX | like installing CSS or half life 2 stuff... | 05:18 |
| iNTRONIX | ok | 05:18 |
| levander | nickrud: thanks | 05:18 |
| iNTRONIX | Yes counter-strike 1.6 | 05:19 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | can anyone point me in the right direction for some support configuring X for dual monitors? | 05:19 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | I would like to run multiple sessions on multiple monitors... | 05:19 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud i need to keep vista, and ur basically saying something like QTparted will do the job, is it an easy job? | 05:19 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | ? | 05:19 |
| levander | commonlyUNIQU3: Xinerama | 05:19 |
| gmcastil | commonlyUNIQU3: http://www.google.com/search?q=configure+x.org+for+multiple+monitors&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a | 05:19 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | levander- I've already configured my xorg.conf for xinerama | 05:19 |
| Tensop | guys, this is a bit of an odd one - but i need to modprobe ath_pci after every reboot | 05:20 |
| apparle | naffy-duck: I don't recommend resizing the partition as it takes a lot of time and moreover it is a NTFS partition. Better go to the dealer and ask him to reinstall Vista with lot of partitions if you don't know much about windows installation | 05:20 |
| levander | commonlyUNIQU3: Well then, that's not what you want? | 05:20 |
| Tensop | is there a way to make the modprobe process for ath_pci automatic? :) | 05:20 |
| gmcastil | commonlyUNIQU3: usually you have to screw around with xorg.conf | 05:20 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | levander- but I can't figure out how to run separate sessions on each monitor | 05:20 |
| levander | Tensop: /etc/modules | 05:20 |
| naffy-duck | apparle is amd64 an ntfs partition? | 05:20 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | levander- yeah, I don't want the "one big screen" mode | 05:20 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: NTFS is a windows partition | 05:20 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: pretty easy, yes. Although you can do the partition shrinking in vista ahead of time. See http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html for some info on that | 05:20 |
| levander | commonlyUNIQU3: Then you don't have Xinerama setup right yet. That's the whole thing Xinerama does. | 05:20 |
| naffy-duck | apparle, also seeing the dealer isn't an option, i bought this laptop in India, and am back in Aus | 05:21 |
| gmcastil | commonlyUNIQU3: what window manager are you using? | 05:21 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | levander- maybe I'll have to keep trying | 05:21 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud k, tks for the url | 05:21 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | gmcastil- gnome | 05:21 |
| levander | commonlyUNIQU3: If you were more specific about where you are, maybe someone in here could help you? | 05:21 |
| Tensop | naffy-duck: prolly not the best move buying a laptop overseas :P | 05:21 |
| RasterBurner | hey - anyone know how to install WoW on on Ubuntu? | 05:22 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop, in someways, yeah, but the price was right :) | 05:22 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: I try to do all my windows manipulations with microsoft tools, they don't say enough about how they do things for me to trust reverse engineered tools | 05:22 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: i would probably just use the livecd to partition the thing the way i wanted and then reinstall vinsta | 05:22 |
| seacat | Tensop, Over what seas? :) | 05:22 |
| Tensop | the indian ocean? :) | 05:22 |
| commonlyUNIQU3 | levander- where I am? | 05:22 |
| norv | RasterBurner: you may have luck running it in Wine or a commercial derivative | 05:22 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: partition magic seems to have a pretty good track record resizing ntfs partitions | 05:22 |
| pawsmacker | !42 > me | 05:22 |
| gmcastil | RasterBurner: a lot of people have run wow under wine | 05:22 |
| pawsmacker | !42 | me | 05:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 42 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:22 |
| RasterBurner | thanks norv! ill check that out | 05:23 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: heard both ways myself. gparted destroyed my windows install, but since I'd only owned the laptop for about an hour, no harm done | 05:23 |
| seacat | gmcastil, With any luck? | 05:23 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil i can't reinstall vista, was preinstalled, only gave me restore disk | 05:23 |
| Meglo | Are there any good guides on how to do encrypted LVM on top of a software RAID 1 array with the debian installer on the altinstall CD? | 05:23 |
| Tensop | hmm, not much activity in the ubuntu+1 channel, so ill pop this question up here | 05:23 |
| joedj | anyone care to suggest how i would install ubuntu without a bootable optical drive? i have an optical drive, it just isn't bootable | 05:23 |
| gmcastil | seacat: wow? yes | 05:23 |
| seacat | gmcastil, My son is a wow player.... | 05:23 |
| Tensop | is heron going to go the 2.6.24 release for the kernel or will it stay with the RC | 05:23 |
| apparle | naffy-duck: Funny I am an Indian. People in India think of bringing laptops from ther countries, You are the first person I know who has done the reverse | 05:23 |
| gmcastil | seacat: its a real hack...and slow | 05:23 |
| gmcastil | seacat: real slow | 05:23 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop ,??? Indian ocean? | 05:24 |
| nickrud | !install | joedj one of the links on the installation page will have a method you can use | 05:24 |
| ubotu | joedj one of the links on the installation page will have a method you can use: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

| gmcastil | seacat: tell him to quit playing WoW...he'll thank you later | 05:24 |
| Tensop | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=9429 < WoW info | 05:24 |
| gmcastil | seacat: that game robbed me of a year of my life | 05:24 |
| hsystemxX | naffiduck, partition your disk right now, then do a restore with the cds it shiped with your laptop, it is supposed to leave the partition you created intact.. | 05:24 |
| hsystemxX | then try installing ubuntu. | 05:24 |
| seacat | gmcastil, I did, I did! :) | 05:24 |
| Meglo | joedj, look into making a boot floppy | 05:24 |
| Tensop | naffy-duck: are you in australia or austria :) | 05:25 |
| gmcastil | hsystemxX: i'd imagine the restore disk will repartition it for him and make it just as it left the factorty | 05:25 |
| nickrud | seacat: he'll outgrow it (hopefully) | 05:25 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: i wish i'd never played | 05:25 |
| DWSR | What's the quickest way to remove xubuntu-desktop and all of it's dependancies? | 05:25 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: reinstall? | 05:25 |
| Tensop | it's a big long command | 05:25 |
| naffy-duck | apparle , namaste, kaiser hain? ;) I needed a laptop there after 6mths | 05:25 |
| iNTRONIX | Has Someone tested PacSteamT on Ubuntu? It might work if ordinarry Steam works. | 05:25 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop Aussie | 05:25 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: No, I was thinking since I don't have physical access to the box in question, I would do it via SSH. | 05:25 |
| hsystemxX | gmcastil, right, but some restore disk, leave the partitions intact, at least with a ntfs working partition. If there is NO partition, it will re-create them. | 05:26 |
| Tensop | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=576111 < removing xubuntu | 05:26 |
| DWSR | Tensop: There's no way to get apt to remove a package and all of it's dependancies? | 05:26 |
| hsystemxX | and sorry for my english , im not american :) | 05:26 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: there are a LOT of things that are probalby tied together by dependencies...i'd probably not mess with it | 05:26 |
| nickrud | DWSR: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 05:26 |
| gmcastil | ...but apparenty, others have taken the time to do it :) | 05:26 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: some of the things people do to their ubuntu, there's gotta way to escape kde and xfce | 05:27 |
| gmcastil | a lot of the libs are still used, though...k3b for example requires the KDE stuff | 05:28 |
| apparle | naffy-duck: namaste main achha hoon. from which place are you | 05:28 |
| nickrud | hsystemxX: it worked that way for me, just used the ntfs partition I provided | 05:28 |
| naffy-duck | apparle im back in Melbourne | 05:28 |
| DWSR | thanks nickrud. | 05:28 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: I'm going for SSH only. | 05:28 |
| DWSR | I don't care about anything graphical or gnome or X. | 05:28 |
| ivanhoe | hello evrybody | 05:29 |
| naffy-duck | apparle which country r u in? | 05:29 |
| ivanhoe | how can i download from megaupload | 05:29 |
| ivanhoe | in ubuntu | 05:29 |
| Tensop | hmm, ive got a heap of "pid: xxxx comm: modprobe tainted: p xxxxxx" in /var/log/messages - ignorable? | 05:29 |
| bazhang | ivanhoe: download what | 05:29 |
| timandtom | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 from CD that I know works onto an older computer. When I go to boot Ubuntu and so I can install it, after the initial loading screen, it just goes black, and stays like that for a while. Is it just really slow, or is there a problem? | 05:29 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: well, then i'd probably just pick a distro that let me be more selective in what i installed - centOS comes to mind | 05:29 |
| ivanhoe | download files from megaupload | 05:29 |
| bazhang | heh | 05:30 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: you'll probably need to modify some of the boot params when the livecd starts | 05:30 |
| cube | timandtom download the alternative install cd | 05:30 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe, i have the answer but | 05:30 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: I was going to use the Ubuntu server disk, but I figured that I can use the LiveCD to recover Windows systems, so why not just go with that and remove all the crap that I don't need? | 05:30 |
| ivanhoe | yea | 05:30 |
| ivanhoe | but? | 05:30 |
| cube | timandtom and if the computer is really old get xubuntu | 05:30 |
| hsystemxX | send me a pv, because it is on spanish and i have to traduce it for you. | 05:30 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: cuz it sounds like its a pain | 05:30 |
| hsystemxX | pm* | 05:30 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: There a command written down somewhere to remove all of X? | 05:30 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: unless there is a way to pick what yo uwant to install | 05:31 |
| timandtom | gmcastil: How hard would that be? Or would cube's suggestion of downloading the alternative install cd work better? | 05:31 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: It's not really. It just uninstalled all of Xubuntu in the time between now and when I got the command. | 05:31 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: fixng the boot params takes a few seconds | 05:31 |
| nickrud | DWSR: you can just leave all that stuff there, and use rcconf to disable gdm. X won't start | 05:31 |
| DWSR | nickrud: I want to free up the extra space though. | 05:31 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: if someone has already figured out the command to run, then thats a differnet story | 05:31 |
| cube | yeah but if its like a pIII or something shouldn't he use xubuntu? | 05:31 |
| timandtom | cube: like, 96mb RAM, 8gb hard drive, crappy motherboard and onboard video... I don't know how old really. Small case, purple faceplate, Explora brand, if you happen to know it :P | 05:31 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe my bad, cant receive pm. | 05:32 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe pay attention: | 05:32 |
| ivanhoe | i cant send | 05:32 |
| timandtom | gmcastil: Ah :D Any idea what I would need to change though? | 05:32 |
| cube | anything VIA I would use xubuntu! | 05:32 |
| ivanhoe | yea | 05:32 |
| ivanhoe | i put atetion | 05:32 |
| matt__ | i have a question | 05:32 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' options | 05:32 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil what is/is there an issue with amd64 bit and ubuntu? | 05:32 |
| cube | timandtom what kind of CPU is it | 05:32 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: try that and see how it works | 05:32 |
| hsystemxX | Download this extension for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 | 05:32 |
| nickrud | !ask | matt__ | 05:33 |
| ubotu | matt__: 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. :-) | 05:33 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: there are a few difficulties with running 64-bit - namely the availability of 64-bit binaries from the outside world (namely Flash) | 05:33 |
| ivanhoe | thanks | 05:33 |
| norv | timandtom: you won't be running any DE with 96mb | 05:33 |
| timandtom | cube: Pentium 2 I THINK, but I'll double check | 05:33 |
| matt__ | um i need a vurtal machine but i dont know one | 05:33 |
| timandtom | gmcastil: How do I do that? | 05:33 |
| matt__ | well i do bu tit did not work right | 05:33 |
| ATG | /server irc.7chan.org | 05:33 |

| naffy-duck | gmcastil k, so, inet browsing is affected, anyone know of any other 64-32 bit software issues? | 05:34 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: acrobat reader probably isn't available in 64-bit linux version | 05:34 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhow then in firefox after you install that add on, you must go to TOOLS->user agent->options->options->user agent->add | 05:34 |
| timandtom | norv: Meh, well, I figure I'll try it. Worst case, I lose a coupla hours of time I would have spent otherwise on my Gamecube :) If this doesn't work, I'll try a different distro | 05:34 |
| gmcastil | mmm.....gamecube | 05:34 |
| cube | timandtom http://xubuntu.org/ get xubuntu but click on a mirror and get the alternative install cd of xubuntu | 05:34 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhow, then fill the blanks with: | 05:35 |

| FloodBot3 | hsystemxX: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 05:35 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: try editing the boot options first - your problem of having a blank screen after booting is pretty common | 05:35 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: Does Ubuntu server simply have Ubuntu-base installed? | 05:35 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: you don't need adobereader for ubuntu, it has it's own pdf reader | 05:35 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil so basically what ur saying is most multimedia 32 bit opensource apps - equiv to what's available on windows? | 05:35 |
| Flannel | DWSR: Its got a little more than that, but yes, its just the CLI apps | 05:35 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: i was just saying that if you really wanted the adobe version, you're out of luck | 05:35 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhow then in firefox after you install that add on, you must go to TOOLS->user agent->options->options->user agent->add | 05:35 |
| norv | timandtom: oh right, alternate install and make sure not to specify any packages like Xubuntu Desktop. then apt-get install "blackbox" or some such | 05:35 |
| timandtom | cube: Ah, k, thanks. So xubuntu is basically ubuntu for slow computers? Are there any major differences? | 05:36 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: i'm saying that 64-bit binaries in linux are rare | 05:36 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: i didn't see one | 05:36 |
| DWSR | I'm watching my server load drop past 0.2 | 05:36 |
| nickrud | gmcastil: ah, missed that part. | 05:36 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe, then fill the blanks like this: DESCRIPTION: Internet Explorer 6 + Alexa Toolbar | 05:36 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud k, tks for that | 05:36 |
| ubuntu_ | WOW SO MANY PEOPLE ON UBUNTU CHAT | 05:36 |
| DWSR | I love removing X. | 05:36 |
| ubuntu_ | IM NOW | 05:36 |

| hsystemxX | ivanhoe, APP NAME : Microsft Internet Explorer | 05:36 |
| ivanhoe | yep | 05:36 |
| gmcastil | nickrud: sorry, wasn't clear - you can read pdfs, just probably not with adobe's thang, unless they have released a 64-bit version (unlikely as hell) | 05:36 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: there's no pressing reason to use the 64bit version yet anyway | 05:36 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe, APP VERSION : 4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) | 05:36 |
| drgeb | is there an audio player that can play PCM 16 bit raw audio files ? | 05:36 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe, PLATFORM : Win32 | 05:36 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: personally, I disagree with nick, but thats me | 05:36 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: As root, how can I log users out remotely? | 05:37 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: i'm also not exactly a novice user, either, so i'm willing to deal with some of the consequences | 05:37 |
| DJAdmiral | is it just me, or are the current updates broken? | 05:37 |
| hsystemxX | ivanhoe, anyway, http://www.ubuntu-es.org/index.php?q=node/24884 after the step 2 (paso 2) | 05:37 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: kill the process that they've logged in on | 05:37 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil , nickrud, excuse my ignorance, but there are plenty of 32 bit equivalent multilmedia software to use in abuntu? | 05:37 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: It's tty1. | 05:37 |
| cube | timandtom: yeah the major difference is your session instead of gnome or kde you would use | 05:37 |
| Gnine | 64bit version available since feisty | 05:37 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: kill the proces id | 05:37 |
| cube | timandtom: Xfce4 | 05:38 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: yep. About the only thing you can't play is drm protected stuff | 05:38 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud k, tks | 05:38 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: there are some - things like Maple, Flash, a few others that i can't seem to remember that you won't be able to find for 64-bit linux | 05:38 |
| DWSR | gmcastil: Doesn't work. Process is still there. kill -9 it? | 05:38 |
| gmcastil | DWSR: yeah | 05:38 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: there are several threads on this in the forums and mailing lists | 05:38 |
| timandtom | gmcastil: How do I edit boot options? And what do I change? | 05:39 |
| timandtom | cube: Ah, cool. I'll use that if this doesn't work | 05:39 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: when it boots, i think yo upress esc or whatever | 05:39 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil , nickrud, yeah, i'm suffering reading overload atm, funny tho, i find I can chat easily :) | 05:39 |
| cube | good choice...i like gnome | 05:39 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: then, you can edit the boot options | 05:39 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: you must be young, have the interactive disease ;) | 05:39 |
| timandtom | gmcastil: Oh, THOSE options... What do I change? | 05:39 |
| sslashes | i created an array using mdadm on a current Gentoo box - the drives were then moved to an ubuntu box - if i use "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1", and mount md0, the directory is empty (i can assure you, it was not before) - but if I run "mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=0 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1", it warns me about an existant array created on Sep of 2007 (which is when I made the array on Gentoo) - any ideas? | 05:40 |
| DJAdmiral | Guys, I just installed ubuntu 7.10 and loads of my updates aren't installing | 05:40 |
| gumby600m | msg nickserv ident | 05:40 |
| cube | DJAmiral: what do you mean not installing? does it show the updates and then you don't see the effects? | 05:40 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud I'm basically trying to weigh up the install/run annoyance factor with the benefits of not having all my resources svcked up by windows | 05:40 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' options | 05:40 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: you might try safe mode, too | 05:41 |
| === temagic is now known as Temagic | ||
| Tensop | dunno about you, but with ubuntu vs xp... ubuntu guzzles the memory :) | 05:41 |
| DJAdmiral | ttf-opensymbol, the entire openoffice.org package, and python-uno didn't update | 05:41 |
| cube | timandtom: and if it is a p2 i would give it awhile when it seems as things have stopped | 05:41 |
| hsystemxX | guzzles mean? | 05:41 |
| naffy-duck | eeeew, Tensop throws in a curve ball :( | 05:41 |
| Temagic | Hi everybody! I just have a quick question re ubuntu linux | 05:41 |
| Tensop | uses alot | 05:41 |
| DJAdmiral | it tells me that "An error occured" after updating | 05:42 |
| cube | Tensop: i tried out vista and used double to three times as much average memory for same usage | 05:42 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: for years I ran linux exclusively with the exception of one app for work ... now I don't at all | 05:42 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: i agree with cube - and having those options gone will let you see whats actually going on a lot easier | 05:42 |
| DWSR | !ncurses | 05:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ncurses - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:42 |
| DWSR | !packages | 05:42 |
| ubotu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 05:42 |
| DJAdmiral | I'll go give you the results in the pastebin | 05:42 |
| Temagic | is it possible to use another theme in ubuntu than the standard brown? i.e. a blue theme? | 05:42 |
| hsystemxX | XP sucks. its win32, and take more memory than any linux... remeber it depends on what processes are you running in ubuntu. | 05:42 |
| Tensop | yeah, vista uses alot of memory too | 05:42 |
| nickrud | !find libncurses5 | DWSR | 05:42 |
| ubotu | dwsr: Found: libncurses5, libncurses5-dbg, libncurses5-dev | 05:42 |
| Tensop | but that belongs in the bin :) | 05:42 |
| DWSR | Ah, that's what I'm looking for. | 05:42 |
| Tensop | XP boots up with ~95-120mb in use | 05:42 |
| timandtom | cube: Ok, will do | 05:42 |
| DWSR | ncurses is still referred to by some packages, which is why I thought I needed to update. | 05:42 |
| Tensop | ubuntu boots up with ~200mb or so | 05:43 |
| nickrud | Temagic: sure, system->prefs->appearance , hit the custom button | 05:43 |
| timandtom | gmcastil: Ok, thanks, I'll try that. | 05:43 |
| Tensop | XP boots faster too | 05:43 |
| Tensop | but thats only because its 7 years older :) | 05:43 |
| gmcastil | timandtom: good luck | 05:43 |
| Tensop | im sure a 7 year old nix distro would boot quite fast | 05:43 |
| Temagic | nickrud: will it be consistent in all programs, windows etc? | 05:43 |
| nickrud | Temagic: all the gnome apps, yes. Not any kde apps you may install | 05:43 |
| cube | Tensop: offtopic might be better for you | 05:43 |
| Temagic | ok, thanks | 05:43 |
| hsystemxX | tensop if thats the way, then try ubuntu 6.06 ... | 05:43 |
| hsystemxX | or ubuntu 5.X | 05:43 |
| WGGMk | Im having trouble trouble starting "DansGuardian", it just hangs on the server (Gutsy amd64) any thoughts? | 05:44 |
| Tensop | nah :P | 05:44 |
| DJAdmiral | cube, take a look: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/4063/ | 05:44 |
| apparle | bye | 05:44 |
| Tensop | im running xp on the desktop and ubuntu 8.04 on the lappy | 05:44 |
| naffy-duck | nickrud , Tensop , gmcastil apparle , i think this is a job for an real world linux/ubuntu user group, which I'll probably find here in melbourne and save myself alot of grief:) | 05:44 |
| sk8deamon | hi | 05:44 |
| Tensop | im in melb, there are no user groups ;) | 05:44 |
| Tensop | exactly what's the problem naffy-duck | 05:45 |
| nickrud | !loco | naffy-duck | 05:45 |
| ubotu | naffy-duck: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams | 05:45 |
| hsystemxX | it seems that there is more documentation in spanish for ubuntu than in english. | 05:45 |
| biouser | is there no GUI process manager in Gutsy? | 05:45 |
| Temagic | I'm currently sitting on a dell m1330 and installed opensuse, but the distro doesn't quite work with my laptop, then I googled and found out that ubuntu was 100% compatible with my machine:) I just didn't like the look of the distro. But if this is easy to change, I'll be downloading ubuntu now (actually I allready am...) So, soon I'll join the community:) Thanks for the quick reply | 05:45 |
| nickrud | naffy-duck: the one in melbourne is pretty active I hear | 05:45 |
| bod_ | hey guys,. how do i stop a ackage from showing up in the update manager? i dont want compiz | 05:45 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: there are several flavors which use different window managers | 05:45 |
| biouser | Temagic, you will like the look | 05:45 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop 1/I've never used linux os 2/ My vista laptop has only one drive and two used partitions | 05:45 |
| David37 | can anyone help me install nvidia display driver for an 8800gt i've downloaded it to the desktop but i have no clue what to do next | 05:46 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: for an older machine, you might try xubuntu | 05:46 |
| Tensop | what laptop naffy-duck | 05:46 |
| cube | Djadmiral are you installing the updates through update-manager? | 05:46 |
| naffy-duck | tks obotu | 05:46 |
| hsystemxX | biouser, with GUI: System Monitor, interminal: ps -ef|grep YOUR-USER | 05:46 |
| DJAdmiral | Aye | 05:46 |
| sk8deamon | hi got a question how to modify ubuntu so i can create a os derived from ubuntu like xubuntu or kubuntu how to package wut software do i need for this | 05:46 |
| a2 | !lista | 05:46 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lista - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:46 |
| sk8deamon | can someone help | 05:46 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop compaq pressario v6000 | 05:46 |
| Temagic | I hope so, it was just that the whole brown thing didn't quite make the cut... But I've heard ubuntu is the easiest and most supported distro, so I'm really looking forward to trying it out | 05:46 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8deamon, you could use a tool such as reconstructor. | 05:47 |
| apparle | naffy-duck: I suggest you to seek someone good in Vista (Windows chatrooms) and ask how to resize the partition in Vista itself and then install ubuntu on new drive. | 05:47 |
| cube | Djadmiral: if all you are having problems with is openoffice why don't you look for any needed files and if it doesn't work remove then install open office | 05:47 |
| biouser | thanx hsystemxX | 05:47 |
| Tensop | hmm | 05:47 |
| naffy-duck | apparle k, good idea for starters | 05:47 |
| Tensop | naffy-duck- i dont use vista, but try this | 05:47 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: partition magic is a program made to resize partitions - its likely about the only choice you have | 05:47 |
| Tensop | start > run > diskmgmt.msc | 05:47 |
| David37 | can anyone help me install nvidia display driver for an 8800gt i've downloaded it to the desktop but i have no clue what to do next | 05:47 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: Nah, 2,2ghz C2D with 4GB RAM, running Vista, so I'm sure ubuntu will be just fine:) | 05:47 |
| DJAdmiral | cube, you're not getting me | 05:47 |
| Tensop | that should open up the diskman snapin in vista | 05:47 |
| gmcastil | Tensop: that won't work | 05:47 |
| sk8deamon | djadmiral how to change basic code of ubuntu | 05:47 |
| Tensop | what, doesent exist in vista gmcastil? | 05:47 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yeah, that's a little less than what i have - it runs just fine | 05:47 |
| gmcastil | Tensop: mt, srry | 05:48 |
| fallore_ | can anyone help me get digital audio working on my ubuntu box? i can get it to work just fine with the same set up on for example my cable box but when plugged into the linux box it doesn't work. | 05:48 |
| Temagic | :) | 05:48 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8deamon: how experienced are you with linux? | 05:48 |
| sk8deamon | not much thats why all the questions | 05:48 |
| hsystemxX | David37 , i would help you, but some people may critize the way I install nvidia drivers (envy script). | 05:48 |
| DJAdmiral | and why would you want to change the basic code? | 05:48 |
| Temagic | yeah, but it's a laptop, so I really don't expect too much from it... | 05:48 |
| cube | David: before you try installing the downloaded driver try getting nvidia-glx (new driver) within your package manager | 05:48 |
| sk8deamon | never used it infact | 05:48 |
| hsystemxX | so, wait for other hehe. | 05:48 |
| gmcastil | Tensop: no...right guy - yeah, windows doesn't have a native way to do it | 05:48 |
| David37 | pm me please | 05:48 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: as is mine - it works awesome | 05:48 |
| sk8deamon | trying to get into it now | 05:48 |
| RiantheBear | hey im an apple user looking for some help with my ubuntu, cant figure out my booting issue | 05:48 |
| sk8deamon | thats why | 05:48 |
| Temagic | cool | 05:48 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8deamon, then don't bother making a custom version yet. | 05:49 |
| alanbshepard70 | how do I empty the trash when it contains files I don't have permissions for? I downloaded a package and it contained files with root permissions, once I deleted the file I can't get it to be completly trashed | 05:49 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: linux isn't anywhere near as harsh with system resources as windows is - 4 GB is way overkill | 05:49 |
| hsystemxX | David37, wait, let me register my user . | 05:49 |
| hsystemxX | first. | 05:49 |
| naffy-duck | gmcastil i was just reading about a partmagic clone called QTparted, anyone know this? | 05:49 |
| David37 | kk | 05:49 |
| Tensop | theres probably a few partition resizers around for vista | 05:49 |
| DJAdmiral | modifying the "basic code" isn't necessary at all. | 05:49 |
| sk8deamon | wut do u mean | 05:49 |
| sk8deamon | if its opensource | 05:49 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: i'v enever heard of it - i would be leery of something new | 05:49 |
| DWSR | !find libtcl | 05:49 |

| David37 | ive been messing with this for like 8 hours off and on since last night | 05:49 |
| Tensop | when i bought my laptop(acer 5315) i just wiped the vista+restore partition, put xp+ubuntu on | 05:49 |
| sk8deamon | well i want to see wuts going on behind the scenes | 05:49 |

| cube | david: but you need to enable proprietary drivers in system-admin-software sources | 05:49 |
| David37 | reading the forums and cnat get it to work | 05:49 |
| sk8deamon | like wut it was built on | 05:49 |
| fallore_ | can anyone help me get digital audio working on my ubuntu box? i can get it to work just fine with the same set up on for example my cable box but when plugged into the linux box it doesn't work. | 05:49 |
| seacat | sk8deamon, sudo apt-get install kbuntu-desktop | 05:50 |
| Temagic | I found an iso image for ubuntu, preconfigured with all drivers and everyting for my laptop from the dell website, so I won't have to configure and solve issues and such... opensuse was a nightmare... used the whole day just to get internet and my bluetooth mouse working (I have no linux skills, so it took awhile...) | 05:50 |
| DJAdmiral | If you're making a new derivation of ubuntu, then you don't need to modify the basic code | 05:50 |
| Kuroachia | Does anyone know how I can get my gdesklets to run on startup? | 05:50 |
| hsystemxX | erm a noob question: cant remember how to register my nick... how it was? | 05:50 |
| Ttech | Temagic, got a link? | 05:50 |
| sk8deamon | but can i | 05:50 |
| DJAdmiral | you just modify what you need to. | 05:50 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop what do u lose in going back from vista to xp? | 05:50 |
| gmcastil | David37: there are a ton of google references about installing the drivers for an 8800 card | 05:50 |
| WGGMk | test | 05:50 |

| WGGMk | gmcastil: acctually fail, im having issues with my sound.. its on/off | 05:51 |
| Tensop | i didnt want vista at all - laptop only has 512mb and vista has a sucky gui | 05:51 |
| gmcastil | WGGMk: FAIL!!!!!!!!!!! | 05:51 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8deamon, that's really not recommended for inexperienced linux users. You'd only end up having a broken system. | 05:51 |
| sco50000 | what is the root password for the fiesty 7.04 live cd? | 05:51 |
| cube | gmcastil: there are tons of google references for fixing most things we all get help for :0 | 05:51 |
| WGGMk | gmcastil: but thnx | 05:51 |
| Kuroachia | fallore: yessum | 05:51 |
| fallore_ | hsystemxX: /msg nickserv register password email i think | 05:51 |
| gmcastil | Tensop: 1/2 a gig? my god, i'm surprised that it boots | 05:51 |
| sk8deamon | i know but got any books | 05:51 |
| sco50000 | what is the root password for the kubuntu fiesty 7.04 live cd? | 05:51 |
| fallore_ | can anyone help me get digital audio working on my ubuntu box? i can get it to work just fine with the same set up on for example my cable box but when plugged into the linux box it doesn't work. | 05:51 |
| Tensop | heh, it hardly booted up vista with 512mb gmcastil :) | 05:51 |
| sk8deamon | or any software to start with | 05:51 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop yes, i mean in performance and security tween vista and xp, xp isn't 64 bit is it? | 05:51 |
| sk8deamon | so ican learn | 05:51 |
| norv | sk8deamon: compiling your own kernel (i.e. Linux) is one thing, modifying it is a whole different story | 05:51 |
| gmcastil | cube: lol...some of these questions....grrr | 05:51 |
| Tensop | naffy-duck what's your laptop specs | 05:51 |
| hsystemxX | thanks fallore (Y) it worked, without email. | 05:51 |
| DJAdmiral | the best way to learn is to be a bash guru. | 05:52 |
| Tensop | x86-64 isnt *real* 64bit processing | 05:52 |
| qarl | I've tweaked my .bashrc command prompt (PS1), but now when the shell wraps onto itself when I type a really long command. Any ideas on how to fix this? | 05:52 |
| gmcastil | Tensop: it must draaaaaaaaaag | 05:52 |
| Tensop | its merely an extension of the addressable memory space | 05:52 |
| hsystemxX | thanks the other for the replys. | 05:52 |

| wsguede | help! ok, so i was looking to connect to my desktop version of ubuntu from an off IP site. What is the best way to do this? | 05:52 |
| Temagic | Tensop: x86_64 isn't real 64-bit? please elaborate... | 05:52 |
| czr | Tensop, with 64-bit registers and other 64-bit stuff. how exactly isn't it real 64-bit? | 05:52 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: SSH | 05:52 |
| WGGMk | Having an issue with my sound, it decides when it wants to work.. When running a music player it will sometimes just lock up the application | 05:52 |
| poningru | wsguede: what do you mean connect? | 05:52 |
| DJAdmiral | do you have any programming/development experience, though? | 05:52 |
| gmcastil | czr: the OS has to be written to take advantage of it | 05:52 |
| hsystemxX | David37 im PM you. | 05:52 |
| wsguede | gmcastil: and what do i need to install | 05:52 |
| czr | gmcastil, linux is. | 05:52 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop amd 64 1.9ghz , 1gigdram, 120gig hd, nvidia, | 05:52 |
| jwelcher | where does Dapper (6.06) rotate for syslog (i.e /var/log/messages) get set? | 05:52 |
| hsystemxX | David37? | 05:53 |
| gmcastil | czr: 64-bit versions of linux are - most people aren't using 64-bit linux | 05:53 |
| poningru | wsguede: just downloading files? or controlling the entire desktop (like opening applications etc.)? | 05:53 |
| jwelcher | Not in /etc/logrotate.conf apparently or /etc/logrotate.d... | 05:53 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: nothing - ssh is part of a standard linux install | 05:53 |
| wsguede | poningru: well, my computer here has all my music, i want access to it, from off the IP | 05:53 |
| czr | gmcastil, that doesn't make x86-64 any less 64-bit as an arch. | 05:53 |
| Temagic | So, do you guys recommend 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu... my processor is a 64-bit C2D? | 05:53 |
| sco50000 | what is the root password for the kubuntu fiesty 7.04 live cd? | 05:53 |
| sk8deamon | i do vb, c, c++, java, html, php, css, oracle, sql | 05:53 |
| czr | Temagic, how much memory do you have? | 05:53 |
| poningru | wsguede: you just want access to your music? | 05:53 |
| wsguede | gmcastil: so how would i putty in? | 05:53 |
| hsystemxX | sco500000, password = livecd | 05:53 |
| sk8deamon | want to something like bumptop but for fox chase cancer center | 05:53 |
| wsguede | poningru: sure | 05:53 |
| seacat | Temagic, 32 | 05:53 |
| poningru | then ssh is probably the best | 05:53 |
| czr | Temagic, if you have less than 3 GiB and are a "regular desktop user", go with 32-bit. | 05:53 |
| sk8deamon | i am working there as a student | 05:53 |
| poningru | !ssh | 05:53 |
| Temagic | 4GiB | 05:53 |
| ubotu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 05:53 |
| DWSR | !find zlib | 05:53 |
| ubotu | Found: libcompress-raw-zlib-perl, libio-compress-zlib-perl, libio-zlib-perl, libruby1.8, zlib1g (and 9 others) | 05:53 |
| sk8deamon | and i want to get into this | 05:54 |
| Tensop | x86_64 was introduced to get around the 4gb memory issue | 05:54 |
| sk8deamon | for research laptops | 05:54 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: putty is the right thing to use on windows, just make sure that port 22 is open on your firewall, then connect | 05:54 |
| sk8deamon | for nurses | 05:54 |
| poningru | wsguede: see that guide ubotu pointed to regarding ssh | 05:54 |
| Tensop | its an extension of the addressable memory space - its not capable of executing a 64bit long string | 05:54 |
| jwelcher | Is there some other configuration for /var/log/messsages or other log rotator than logrotate? | 05:54 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: i prefer to use cygwin myself, but its a matter of preference | 05:54 |
| norv | sk8deamon: err, something like a Beowulf cluster huh? | 05:54 |
| Temagic | i'm a regular laptop user... will ubuntu work with 4gig memory (3.2 or whatever) without hangups or instability? | 05:54 |
| DJAdmiral | I see | 05:54 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: mine works fine | 05:54 |
| Temagic | cool | 05:54 |
| WGGMk | Having an issue with my sound, it decides when it wants to work.. When running a music player it will sometimes just lock up the application | 05:55 |
| wsguede | gmcastil: will do, one last thing... how do i go about making different users to log in via ssh? | 05:55 |
| poningru | Tensop: uh... | 05:55 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: stability isn't much an issue with linux, software is usually the only problem | 05:55 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: useradd | 05:55 |
| DJAdmiral | seriously though, don't get round to modifying a system you don't even know yet | 05:55 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: useradd <newuser> | 05:55 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: passwd <newuser> | 05:55 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop , tougher question, once ubuntu is installed, will my machine be able to switch back and fro between the two os? | 05:55 |
| poningru | Tensop: not true at all, only in old intel em64t is thats true | 05:55 |
| Temagic | vista doesn't work out-of-box with 4 gig, needs some patch from winupd, then you can insert the last mem module...lol | 05:55 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: easy as pie | 05:55 |
| jwelcher | # grep messages /etc/logrotate.conf /etc/logrotate.d/* | 05:55 |
| jwelcher | # | 05:55 |
| DJAdmiral | you should be completely comfortable with it first, and know what to modify :) | 05:55 |
| gmcastil | wsguede: you can even log into your own machine from itself | 05:55 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, are you using alsa throughout your system? | 05:55 |
| Tensop | naffy-duck: you need to sort out the partition issue before proceeding with installing ubuntu | 05:56 |
| David37 | hsystem can you read me in the pm box i can read you | 05:56 |
| poningru | wsguede: just go to system->admin->user and add user | 05:56 |
| WGGMk | bod_: as far as i can tell yes | 05:56 |
| jwelcher | But something is rotating it weekly... | 05:56 |
| gmcastil | jwelcher: check if cron has something going on | 05:56 |
| norv | sk8deamon: or just a standard 'internet application' | 05:56 |
| norv | gmcastil: graphics cards can seriously hit stability, and networking.. those are the only things that ever hard locked the system or paniced the kernel | 05:56 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop sure, no probs with that, just want to know if i can dual boot? | 05:56 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, i dont suppose you've found a definate trigger, anything that will definately kill the sound? | 05:56 |
| gmcastil | norv: is this for a server? | 05:56 |
| Temagic | so, a more diffucult question folks... I have opensuse and vista installed on my computer and want to replace opensuse with ubuntu... is this straight-forward in the installer or do I need some wizard skills? | 05:57 |
| wsguede | poningru: what does an unprivileged user get to do? | 05:57 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yes, its straightforward | 05:57 |
| Temagic | thx | 05:57 |
| WGGMk | bod_: no I have not, sometimes restarting the system will fix the issue, but sometimes it will stick around | 05:57 |
| jwelcher | gmcastil: thx. there is a logrotate in there kicked off daily, but in /etc/cron.daily, there is also a sysklogd that does it's own thing. | 05:57 |
| seacat | Temagic, Just put the Ubuntu CD in and do the install. Nothing out of the ordinary. | 05:57 |
| WGGMk | bod_: i previously had Pidgin set to automatic (sound) but just changed it to ALSA and it did not make a difference | 05:57 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, does it ever die out of the blue, while listening to music or something? | 05:57 |
| wsguede | poningru: what does an unprivileged user get to do? | 05:57 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: if you haven't already, i'd recommend making multiple partitions (one for /home, /, /boot, and swap) | 05:58 |
| David37 | hmm i could read hsystemx but i guess he couldnt read me | 05:58 |
| WGGMk | bod_: not that I recall no | 05:58 |
| Tensop | naffy-duck: grub will let you dual boot, as long as you dont destroy the other o/s during install | 05:58 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: I have on opensuse, but I recon the ubuntu setup will do this for me, or? | 05:58 |
| gmcastil | naffy-duck: you typically need to have windows installed first so that grub can squeeze it off to the side | 05:58 |
| naffy-duck | Tensop grub being/ | 05:58 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, ok,. can you pastebin your output for lspci | 05:58 |
| sk8deamon | how do u create somethign like ubuntu from scratch | 05:58 |
| naffy-duck | ? | 05:58 |
| Tensop | grub is a boot loader | 05:58 |
| procrastinator | does anyone know how to resolve this error: http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/2622/screenshotgnomemountmm7.png (trying to mount an onboard raid) | 05:59 |
| WGGMk | bod_: sure, gimme 2 | 05:59 |
| naffy-duck | k, tks | 05:59 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yeah, the ubuntu instlaler will ask you if you want to do your drives manually - say yes, then sort out the linux partitions the way you want to | 05:59 |
| seacat | sk8deamon, you want to roll your own distro? | 05:59 |
| czr | sk8deamon, google for 'linux from scratch' and reverse endless amount of time and patience. | 05:59 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: just don't delete the nfs pratitoin | 05:59 |
| czr | sk8deamon, reserve even :-) | 05:59 |
| jwelcher | gmcastil: Thanks for your help. Ha ha, there is a perl script: /usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles that parses /etc/syslog.conf.... oh man... well, that answers my question. | 05:59 |
| gmcastil | czr: i ran LFS for about a year....i liked it, but its HARD | 05:59 |
| naffy-duck | scuse me, i need to take a break and weep a little, tks for ur help mighty ones :) | 05:59 |
| gmcastil | jwelcher: :) | 05:59 |
| Temagic | ok,so then I delete the old linux partitions, and create new ones... will grub or whatever bootloader recognize that vista is installed and opensuse removed? | 05:59 |
| WGGMk | bod_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54289/ | 06:00 |
| czr | gmcastil, it's an educative experience :-) | 06:00 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: if the partitions you want to have already exist, you'll just format over the old ones | 06:00 |
| gmcastil | czr: Yes. It. Is. | 06:00 |
| Temagic | k | 06:00 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8deamon: ubuntu's not made from scratch. | 06:00 |
| wsguede | gmcastil: so if i wanted to ssh into my desktop from an outside ip, i would... ssh to (myIP) ??? | 06:00 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: pastebin fdisk if you like, i'l look at it | 06:00 |
| seacat | sk8deamon, you want to roll your own distro?: http://lifehacker.com/software/featured-linux-download/roll-your-own-ubuntu-live-cd-with-reconstructor-276092.php | 06:00 |
| gmcastil | ssh gmcastil@my.ip.address | 06:00 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8deamon: it's based on debian, and it's worked on by both a community and a full list of professional workers. | 06:01 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, how many lines are given as the output for this lspci | grep audio | 06:01 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: please elaborate? I'm running off linux now, so no fdisk? Where do I find this information in linux, and where do I post it for you to see? | 06:01 |
| sk8deamon | thanks seacat | 06:01 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: you'll post it in the pastebin | 06:01 |
| sk8deamon | tahnks djadmiral | 06:01 |
| gmcastil | !pastebin > Temagic | 06:01 |
| WGGMk | bod_: i dont get any lines | 06:01 |
| DJAdmiral | However if you still insist on making your own distro from scratch with zero linux experience whatsoever, then feel free to try out www.linuxfromscratch.org | 06:02 |
| sk8deamon | lol | 06:02 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: su to root and run fdisk /dev/<hard drive> and then 'p'rint the partition table | 06:02 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, do the command again with a capital A for Audio | 06:02 |
| Temagic | thanks, didn't know... I'll post in pastbin | 06:02 |
| sk8deamon | djadmiral can u talk privately | 06:02 |
| DJAdmiral | but be warned, there's a high chance of your system breaking if you don't know what you're doing >_< | 06:02 |
| gmcastil | LFS is madness if you've not used linux for a while | 06:02 |
| WGGMk | bod_: it only returns 1 line | 06:03 |
| czr | DJAdmiral, one could even say that if the system doesn't break, then LFS is a failure. failure = learning :-) | 06:03 |
| DJAdmiral | gmcastil: aye | 06:03 |
| gmcastil | it took me about a month of building to get a system that was usable | 06:03 |
| seacat | sk8deamon, Want to build your own custom Linux system, entirely from source code?: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ | 06:03 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, ok next question, why is your graphics card delivering you sound? | 06:03 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yeah...you know how to use fdisk? | 06:03 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: you'll need to be root | 06:03 |
| DJAdmiral | czr, not to the extent when your machine becomes completely inoperable. | 06:03 |
| DJAdmiral | but yes, I agree with you up to a point | 06:04 |
| WGGMk | bod_: im not sure I have an answer for that, could it have anything to do with the fact that my machine is a laptop? | 06:04 |
| gmcastil | czr: well, actually, you'll probably not be able to boot the first time - you'll forget to build in IDE support | 06:04 |
| Temagic | unable to open /dev/hda | 06:04 |
| Temagic | lol | 06:04 |
| czr | gmcastil, plural you yes. not me :-) | 06:04 |
| DJAdmiral | sk8, I initiated a private chat with you | 06:04 |
| seacat | Temagic, sudo fdisk -l | 06:04 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: what device is your hard drive? | 06:04 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: and yeah, as root :) | 06:04 |
| sk8deamon | i am talking | 06:04 |
| sosus_ | Has anyone ever had a problem with video playback in skype? The person I am talking to tells me that they can see me on my webcam, but I can't see their webcam, nor the image of my own webcam (although ekiga works fine) | 06:05 |
| sk8deamon | but guess i have to register or something | 06:05 |
| DJAdmiral | I'm not getting any replies. | 06:05 |
| Flannel | !register | 06:05 |
| ubotu | By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 06:05 |
| Temagic | ahhh... sda:) | 06:05 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, yer,. but no,.,. lol,.,. ok,. type this in a terminal alsamixer | 06:05 |
| DJAdmiral | yes, you have to register. | 06:05 |
| gmcastil | hehe | 06:05 |
| Flannel | DJAdmiral: you can /msg nickserv set unfiltered on | 06:05 |
| WGGMk | bod_: and then? | 06:05 |
| * czr hopes that soon one will not see /dev/hd* anymore | 06:05 | |
| bod_ | WGGMk, make sure none of those bars are muted | 06:05 |
| DJAdmiral | Thanks, Flannel | 06:06 |
| biouser | I lost my downloads in firefox. They always came to the desktop now the download window doesn't come up and I can't find the file | 06:06 |
| gmcastil | czr: i really hate the whole UUID thing that ubuntu is hooked on | 06:06 |
| gmcastil | biouser: probably in ~/Desktop | 06:06 |
| WGGMk | bod_: how would I be able to determine that? is this the same as double clicking on the volume indicator in the taskbar? | 06:06 |
| czr | gmcastil, I like it personally. labels would have been better for desktop use, but UUID is technically more elegant. but that's just me :-) | 06:07 |
| gmcastil | biouser: or, you can just open a terminal and do: find | grep <filename> | 06:07 |
| biouser | I lost my downloads in firefox. They always came to the desktop. Now, the download window doesn't come up and I can't find the file. | 06:07 |
| seacat | biouser, Edit -> Preferences -> | 06:07 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54290/ | 06:07 |
| gmcastil | czr: yeah, i agree with the elegant bit, but it frustated me a lot when i first installed this weekend | 06:07 |
| czr | gmcastil, heh, I know that feeling :-) | 06:07 |
| biouser | gmcastil, thanks, not in /Desktop though. THanks fo the grep syntax | 06:07 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yeah dude - you'r ein good shape | 06:07 |
| Temagic | ;) | 06:08 |
| gmcastil | biouser: not /Desktop - ~/Desktop | 06:08 |
| Temagic | good | 06:08 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: just make sure that yo udon't format the NTFS or /home partitions | 06:08 |
| biouser | gmcastil, yeah, that's what I meant | 06:08 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, this is gonna sound weird,.,. copy and paste the screen after youve typed alsamixer into pastebin | 06:08 |
| biouser | seacat, I'm listening | 06:08 |
| hsystemxX | kubuntu channel is patetic... | 06:09 |
| seacat | biouser, Edit -> Preferences -> Main tab.... change as needed... | 06:09 |
| Temagic | hmmm... /home ? is that a linux partition? which is currently occupied by opensuse...? | 06:09 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: one little warning, before you instal - rename your home directory something else, say... "mv -v /home/Temagic /home/Temagic.old" | 06:09 |
| WGGMk | bod_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54291/ | 06:09 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, im runing 7.10 with compiz, and it seems to be fine, ie fast and stable, except for one thing. When im running a 3d application, if something causes that application to lose focus, ie a pidgin guification or a rhythmbox bubble thing, my entire system hangs and needs a hard reboot, what can i do? | 06:09 |
| biouser | seacat, supposedly going to ~/Desktop and show downloads | 06:09 |
| gmcastil | biouser: open firefox and press Ctrl-Y | 06:10 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: I have absolutely no files on opensuse that I need to save... is renaming home still apllicable? | 06:10 |
| seacat | biouser, To the Desktop is the default setting, but change it to how-ever you want. | 06:10 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yeah, the .X... files can sometimes screw things up | 06:10 |
| Temagic | k | 06:10 |
| gmcastil | biouser: it'll show you in the dialog box where files are being downloaded | 06:10 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, increse the first bar and the second to last bar to over half way up | 06:10 |
| biouser | gmcastil, thanks for the tip. so, it's not downloading recently for some reason | 06:11 |
| Temagic | where do I put in the command: mv -v /home/Temagic /home/Temagic.old | 06:11 |
| Temagic | ? | 06:11 |
| WGGMk | bod_: the master and PCM? they are both at 100 | 06:11 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: the terminal | 06:11 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: you'll need to sudo it | 06:11 |
| Temagic | while running opensuse? | 06:11 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: plus, you want a clean home directory - then just change the permissions and get what you want | 06:11 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yeah | 06:11 |
| biouser | gmcastil, seacat 'open with' works but not save to disk | 06:11 |
| seacat | biouser, Did you understand the instructions I gave you? | 06:11 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, oh, ok,. hang on im just looking for another command,. gimme a sec | 06:12 |
| biouser | seacat, yes, I did all that | 06:12 |
| WGGMk | bod_: k | 06:12 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: what would be better is to just reformat /home, if you don't need anything on it | 06:12 |
| === rob_ is now known as r0bby_ | ||
| kylix13 | hello, all. I am a new user for Ubuntu, It doen't have manual for the function fread(). How can I get it ? It doesn't have all libc user manuals and system call user manuals. | 06:13 |
| Temagic | isn't it possible to completely wipe the linux partitions during the install of ubuntu? or should I do it from windows first, and restore the mbr, and then install ubuntu? Yeah, I don't need anything from my linux partitions, I only tried to get opensuse to work, and failed:) so, I'llbe starting from scratch | 06:13 |
| Guest56221 | yo got a quick question, I have irssi running right now but I got out of the terminal program where it was running in, how would I go about opening a new terminal and bringing the program back to the front | 06:13 |
| === verselet_girl_ is now known as cEw_eSemP_niEzZ | ||
| biouser | gmcastil, when I 'open with' the file goes to ~tmp and I can view it fine and it shows up in the downloads. But, if I 'save to disk' nothing happens | 06:13 |
| gmcastil | kylix13: hehe | 06:13 |
| Flannel | Temagic: yeah. Just reinstall, and slash and burn | 06:13 |
| cEw_eSemP_niEzZ | hy | 06:13 |
| seacat | biouser, Did you check the option: "Show the Downloads window when downloading file" ? | 06:13 |
| biouser | seacat, yes, and that works if i choose to open the file | 06:13 |
| kylix13 | gmcastil: would you help me ? | 06:13 |
| Temagic | Flannel: will the bootloader of ubuntu pick up that opensuse has been cast to hell? | 06:14 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: ubuntu will take care of everything | 06:14 |
| Temagic | ok, thanks | 06:14 |
| Flannel | Temagic: It may, it may not. It won't be a problem if it still has the SuSe stuff | 06:14 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: just make sure that you assign the mount points correctly | 06:14 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, type this asoundconf set-default-card MCP51 | 06:14 |
| seacat | biouser, If you right-click on a link, you will get context menu with several options | 06:15 |
| ldrebs_5 | is anyone here familiar with apollon? | 06:15 |
| Temagic | ok, I think Iæ'll be able to do that... 24% of ubuntu downloaded... I'm getting excited:) | 06:15 |
| WGGMk | bod_: should it return anything? | 06:15 |
| seacat | biouser, One being "Save Link as..." | 06:15 |
| gmcastil | wow....i'm trashed | 06:15 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, if the command is succesfull,.,.no | 06:15 |
| biouser | seacat, right | 06:15 |
| gmcastil | i drank a whole bottle of cote de rhone | 06:15 |
| seacat | biouser, Ok, that should do it, right? | 06:15 |
| ldrebs_4 | is anyone familiar with apollon | 06:15 |
| Flannel | !offtopic | gmcastil | 06:15 |
| ubotu | gmcastil: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 06:15 |
| WGGMk | bod_: then it was successful i suppose | 06:16 |
| BodOmLaW | right now im on the running ubuntu live cause i cant get dmraid to work, can anybody help me? | 06:16 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, good,. 1 sec | 06:16 |

| gmcastil | biouser: open a terminal, then: "chown biouser:biouser -Rv ~/Desktop | 06:18 |
| ldrebs | My apollon will not connect to the networks, all it ever says is connecting.... What could be causing this? | 06:18 |
| gmcastil | Flannel: go die in a fire | 06:18 |
| seacat | biouser, Access to what? | 06:18 |
| PKdoR | What foldr are my apps installed to? | 06:18 |

| WGGMk | bod_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54294/ | 06:18 |
| gmcastil | ? | 06:18 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, please keep it polite | 06:18 |
| gmcastil | <sigh> no good deed goes unpunished | 06:18 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: file structure in linux is very different than in windows | 06:19 |
| biouser | gmcastil, I don't know how that happened. But, changing the ownership did work just now | 06:19 |
| ldrebs | My apollon will not connect to the networks, all it ever says is connecting.... What could be causing this? | 06:19 |
| gmcastil | biouser: you go it? | 06:19 |
| wers | how do I edit the properties of the SLAB/gnome-main-menu? | 06:19 |
| Guest56221 | so there is no way to bring a program back to the front of the terminal after exiting the terminal? | 06:19 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: programs aren't installed in a direcory like in windows - different types of files go to different places | 06:19 |
| biouser | gmcastil, brilliant! thank you so much! | 06:19 |
| === Guest56221 is now known as GerrySly | ||
| gmcastil | biouser: yup | 06:19 |
| gmcastil | anytime | 06:19 |
| seacat | biouser, What are permissions now? ls -l ~/Desktop | 06:19 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, do you have sound atm? | 06:19 |
| ldrebs | gmcastil....are you familiar with apollon? | 06:20 |
| biouser | gmcastil, that is pretty strange | 06:20 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: no...i'd just google it if i wanted to know about it, i've never heard of it | 06:20 |
| crdlb | GerrySly: use screen | 06:20 |
| sosus_ | does anyone know how to get incoming video in skype to work? my webcam is working, but I cant see who I'm talking to | 06:20 |
| ldrebs | I did....i've come to the end | 06:20 |
| BodOmLaW | when doing the manual partition setup in ubuntu what kind of partitions am I supposed to have? | 06:20 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: binaries go to /bin and /usr/bin, libraries go to /lib and /usr/lib, etc.... | 06:20 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: is there something more specific you were asking? | 06:20 |
| PKdoR | I need to manuallu remove a en extencion from fire fox but cat find the folder | 06:20 |
| GerrySly | yeah but how do I open a screen when I have closed the terminal | 06:20 |
| ldrebs | and all is working accept it just won't finalize its connection | 06:20 |
| BodOmLaW | when doing the manual partition setup in ubuntu what kind of partitions am I supposed to have? | 06:20 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: firewalling? | 06:20 |
| biouser | seacat, my user | 06:20 |
| crdlb | GerrySly: that irssi is gone | 06:20 |
| WGGMk | bod_: negative | 06:21 |
| ldrebs | no I have a forwarded port | 06:21 |
| ldrebs | through the router | 06:21 |
| GerrySly | but the user is still logged into the irc | 06:21 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: iptables? | 06:21 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: linux has kernel level packet filtering | 06:21 |
| biouser | BodOmLaW, you need an ext for / and a small linux-swap partition | 06:21 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, You should do auto partitioning. | 06:21 |
| crdlb | GerrySly: if irssi somehow stayed running, you could manually kill the process, otherwise you'll just have to wait for it to time out (or ghost the nick if you registered it) | 06:21 |
| ldrebs | yea....so how do I fix that | 06:21 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: i don't agree with auto-partitioning | 06:21 |
| BodOmLaW | but i want raid | 06:22 |
| GerrySly | yeah so there is no way to open back the program | 06:22 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: sudo iptables --flush | 06:22 |
| crdlb | GerrySly: unless you run it in screen | 06:22 |
| BodOmLaW | if not my xp partition will have 250gb and that is useless | 06:22 |
| ldrebs | and what should I expect with that | 06:22 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: you should expec it to work | 06:22 |
| Temagic | can ubuntu read and write ntfs partitions? | 06:22 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: yes | 06:22 |
| Temagic | cool | 06:22 |
| ldrebs | do I apt-get that | 06:23 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, this is odd,.,. in the top right corner, theres a pic of a speaker, is it muted? right click on it and open volume control then go-->File-->change device,.,. how many choices have you got? | 06:23 |
| ldrebs | the sudo command itself said not found | 06:23 |
| seacat | ldrebs, It will flush out all iptables rules | 06:23 |
| GerrySly | god damn it | 06:23 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: if it works after that, then reconfigure your firewall - that command i gave you is just a temp | 06:23 |
| seacat | GerrySly, That's not His last name. | 06:23 |
| WGGMk | bod_: no its not muted, 2 options.. Alsa Mixer & OSS Mixer | 06:23 |
| BodOmLaW | what would i do to get a partition that both xp and ubuntu could r/w? | 06:23 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: more accurately - the linux kernel supports ntfs reads/writes...whether ubuntu's kernel does, i don't know | 06:23 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: fat32 works pretty well for that sotr of thing | 06:24 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, which one is it using? | 06:24 |
| gmcastil | wow...i'm pretty hammered right now | 06:24 |
| WGGMk | bod_: Alsa | 06:24 |
| BodOmLaW | how many gigs can fat32 support? | 06:24 |
| gmcastil | a lot | 06:24 |
| BodOmLaW | kk | 06:24 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: lemme google...hang on | 06:24 |
| PKdoR | I need to manually remove the FEBE and CLEO Extencions from firefox cause if I uninstallthem trhou fire fox it still leave the setting for them | 06:24 |
| jdh6403 | god firestarter is easy to use | 06:24 |
| BodOmLaW | as long as its over 10gb | 06:24 |
| farid | could somebody help me with a sound problem | 06:24 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: ....oh, well, yeah, it is | 06:24 |
| * jdh6403 huggles his ubuntu | 06:24 | |
| PKdoR | so I need to RM the extencions | 06:25 |
| BodOmLaW | great | 06:25 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, well im stumped,.,. you seem to have a nVidia sound card, but no sound,.,.hhhmmm,. sorry i dont hink i can help much more,. try asking about again | 06:25 |
| ldrebs | with the command nothing happened on the surface, just started another line in terminal | 06:25 |
| Aloha | i just spent 2 hours trying to configure my ISA sound card. I'm giving in and buying a PCI | 06:25 |
| BodOmLaW | should i be using ext2 or 3?> | 06:25 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: move .mozilla .mozilla.org | 06:25 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: err..... mv -v ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak | 06:25 |
| BodOmLaW | should i be using ext2 or 3? | 06:25 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, For what? | 06:25 |
| BodOmLaW | for my primary | 06:25 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, ext3 | 06:25 |
| Temagic | k... last question (for a while...) I'm thinking of a setup of four partitions: 1. Vista 2. Linux, ubuntu 3: Linux, Swap, 4: UserData, NTFS. So, how much space should I allocate to the ubuntu partition, that will contain all the ubuntu programs, but no userfiles (pictures, spreadsheets, videos, mp3s etc.) ? | 06:25 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: ext3 | 06:25 |
| flyback | n #electronics | 06:25 |
| cvd | firestarter alert me when something wanna out/in? | 06:26 |
| WGGMk | bod_: thanks for the help, im thinking about possibly reinstalling because ive come across some other issues that just "shouldnt" happen as well, i appreciate you assistance | 06:26 |
| BodOmLaW | k | 06:26 |
| darth_chatri | how do i get rid if the splash screen during bootup? | 06:26 |
| gmcastil | darth_chatri: remove the splash option in the boot params | 06:26 |
| bod_ | WGGMk, ok,.,.no probs,. sorry i couldnt fix it | 06:26 |
| darth_chatri | i've got rid of the splash screen, but i cant see the boot messages | 06:26 |
| seacat | darth_chatri, Esc | 06:26 |
| BodOmLaW | so i need root, swap, and main? | 06:26 |
| WGGMk | bod_: its all gravy baby lol | 06:26 |
| cvd | like 'Firefox is trying to connect to the internet, allow it"? | 06:26 |
| Aloha | is there a supported hardware list? | 06:26 |
| * bod_ smiles ;) | 06:26 | |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: no...you typically want /home on a different partition | 06:26 |
| bod_ | cvd, yes allow firefox to connect to the internet | 06:27 |
| darth_chatri | seacat, ok thanks, i'll try that | 06:27 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: then, the rest doesn't really matter that much | 06:27 |
| Mike__ | what room should I ask about nvidia driver problems? | 06:27 |
| gmcastil | Mike__: google | 06:27 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, swap / /home | 06:27 |
| BodOmLaW | k | 06:27 |
| Mike__ | gee gmcastil, that is so helpful | 06:27 |
| bod_ | Mike__, if its nvidia drivers on ubuntu, you can ask in here | 06:27 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: i prefer to have 4 partitions - a /home, swap, /, and a /boot | 06:27 |
| ldrebs | gmcastil you're brilliant | 06:27 |
| gmcastil | ldrebs: did it work? | 06:28 |
| ldrebs | although it still won't connect | 06:28 |
| gmcastil | ... | 06:28 |
| gmcastil | but, you got different results? | 06:28 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, or: swap / /home /usr /var etc. etc. | 06:28 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: could you please explain the functions of those four partitions? | 06:28 |
| j_humphrey | is it possible to make a live usb on vista without a cd? | 06:28 |
| ldrebs | when I entered the command nothing really happened | 06:28 |
| * gmcastil motions everyone to listen up! | 06:28 | |
| cvd | cuz i have firestarter but never alert me of nothing | 06:28 |
| ldrebs | I put in my system password, but a new line of of command in terminal popped up | 06:28 |
| Mike__ | thanks bod, I have 7.10 ubuntu, geforce 6600, when I load the Nvidia Drivers, I get API number mismatch, until i run modprobe -r nvidia, but it doesnt hold over between boots | 06:28 |
| BodOmLaW | why are the others optional? | 06:28 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: /boot - around 32 MB, the kernel, boot config files, and some other small stuff are here | 06:29 |
| cvd | WHere is the ubuntu default usplash located? | 06:29 |
| Temagic | k | 06:29 |
| ldrebs | by the way, I'm using Gutsy | 06:29 |
| seacat | j_humphrey, / is root directory swap is swap /home is home etc... | 06:29 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: / - the root filesystem, /bin, /var, /root, /usr, /lib will all be on here - this is where 'the system' is stored at | 06:29 |
| sapperjanko1 | hey all, im back, i think i stuffed something up here... was told to go into sudo nano -w /etc/sudoers, and put the user in under permissions.. but now im gettin this line...>>> sudoers file: syntax error, line 24 <<< - sudo: parse error in /etc/sudoers near line 24 | 06:29 |
| Temagic | k | 06:29 |
| j_humphrey | gmcastil, so if i unzip the iso image onto a usb, it should boot? | 06:30 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: swap - just what it sounds like, the swap partition - should be 2X the amount of physical memory you have - yes, mine really is 8 GB | 06:30 |
| gmcastil | j_humphrey: no, it won't - you have to make it bootable | 06:30 |
| Temagic | dunno:) | 06:30 |
| Flannel | Temagic: Make boot 500MB | 06:30 |
| Mike__ | sapperjankol: were you not just suppose to add the user to the admin group? | 06:30 |
| j_humphrey | gmcastil, how do i do that on windows? | 06:30 |
| Flannel | Temagic: 256 is probably fine too, but 32MB is too small. | 06:30 |
| BodOmLaW | seacat say i have 400gb how big should all those partitions be (/ /home swap) | 06:30 |
| gmcastil | j_humphrey: no idea, i don't use windows | 06:30 |
| sapperjanko1 | Mike_:yea thats what i did | 06:30 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: /home - the home directory - where all your pictures, moves, music, pr0n, will go | 06:31 |
| Mike__ | sapperjankol, pastebin your sudoer? | 06:31 |
| ldrebs | gmcastil: Where should I go since the iptables didn't work? | 06:31 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, That's up to you. If you only need 3 or 4 kernels, /boot can be 200MB or less. | 06:31 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: the reason you want home separate is so that, after a reinstall and upgrard, you don't have to wipe out your /home directory | 06:31 |
| sapperjanko1 | Mike__: its not letting me get back into it | 06:31 |
| Temagic | so, can I live without the /home partition, if I will be using a ntfs partition to share files between linux and windows? | 06:31 |
| gmcastil | good god - /boot should be a MAX of 32 mb | 06:31 |
| Flannel | sapperjanko1: when you type "groups" on that user, are you part of admin? | 06:32 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: you _can_, but its not recommended | 06:32 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: swap - 2X your available memory | 06:32 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, /home can be as small or large as you see fit, depending on what you will do with your computer, what files you might or might not save. | 06:32 |
| BodOmLaW | who said to make a /boot partition i was just told i only needed root home and swap | 06:32 |
| Temagic | o.k. can I have /home and / on the same partition then? | 06:32 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: you odn't have to | 06:32 |
| sapperjanko1 | Mike__:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54297/ | 06:32 |
| Flannel | BodOmLaW: You really don't need a /boot | 06:32 |
| BodOmLaW | ok ok | 06:32 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: and, i wouldn't do it for you | 06:32 |
| crdlb | Temagic: yes you can, that's how ubuntu does it by default | 06:32 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: i do it becuase of old habits | 06:32 |
| j_humphrey | gmcastil, if i make the usb bootable, and unzip the iso to the usb drive, will it boot then? | 06:32 |
| BodOmLaW | and the root should be? | 06:33 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, / should be no less than 3 gig, (less than 2 gig and you'll fill it almost up upon install) | 06:33 |
| Mike__ | thats a pastevin of the error | 06:33 |
| gmcastil | j_humphrey: no - the iso is an image of some sort - you need to burn the iso to the media | 06:33 |
| sapperjanko1 | Flannel: im pretty sure i am apart of the adm group :S | 06:33 |
| gmcastil | i made my / 10 GB | 06:33 |
| ldrebs | anyone else familiar with apollon? | 06:33 |
| BodOmLaW | ok | 06:33 |
| Flannel | sapperjanko1: not adm, admin | 06:33 |
| BodOmLaW | thank you | 06:33 |
| Mike__ | not adm, admin | 06:33 |
| Mike__ | different groups | 06:33 |
| Mike__ | lol | 06:33 |
| Temagic | ok... so I'll have a SMALL /boot, another partition containing / and /home, and a third (ntfs) for storing files... | 06:33 |
| BodOmLaW | im sure ill have more questions in a moment | 06:33 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, Just portion it out as you see fit, depending on the size of the drive(s). | 06:33 |
| gmcastil | temagic BodOmLaW: i'll pastebin my drive | 06:33 |
| gmcastil | shit... | 06:34 |

| sapperjanko1 | Flannel: i think ya meant Temagic there LOL | 06:35 |
| Temagic | k... 10GB then | 06:35 |

| seacat | drgeb, Then you want to rip the CD and put .wav files on your HD? | 06:39 |
| BodOmLaW | why would they do that? | 06:39 |
| BodOmLaW | what purpose? | 06:39 |
| Temagic | recon I'll be using / and /home on the same partition though, as I doubt I can mount /home on a ntfs partition? | 06:39 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: system restore information is often put there | 06:39 |
| VvWolverinevV | hi, can anyone help me with some gutsy-to-xp networking troubles? i posted details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=684366 | 06:40 |
| bod_ | seacat, do you understand his question? | 06:40 |
| seacat | drgeb, Use CD ripper: like sound juicer or... | 06:40 |
| bod_ | !repeat | VvWolverinevV | 06:40 |
| ubotu | VvWolverinevV: 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 | 06:40 |
| BodOmLaW | i think this is actually working this time | 06:40 |
| Flannel | BodOmLaW: HDD mfcs measure in GB (1000000 Bytes), your OS uses GiB (1048576B) | 06:40 |
| drgeb | seacat yes step 1 from cd to (raw or iso) step2 from (raw or iso ) to mp3 or flac or whatever. step 3 get a slingbox so I can stream this to my highend fidelity audio system | 06:40 |
| BodOmLaW | really | 06:40 |
| seacat | bod_, He wants to rip music CDs I think. | 06:40 |
| Mike__ | do i have to run modprobe -r nvidia on every boot? | 06:41 |
| BodOmLaW | no gigabytes? | 06:41 |
| gmcastil | Mike__: no | 06:41 |
| Mike__ | gmcastil, what will make it hold? | 06:41 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: what he's sayings is that 1 GB != 1000000000 | 06:41 |
| bod_ | drgeb, just explore the cd, copy the files onto your drive, then use a converter to get them to the correct format | 06:41 |
| gmcastil | Mike__: man modprobe.conf | 06:41 |
| BodOmLaW | ic | 06:41 |
| Flannel | BodOmLaW: Gigabytes as far as HDD is concerned is 10^6, GibiBytes is 1024*1024 bytes. One is binaryish, one is decimal. | 06:41 |
| drgeb | seacat soundjuice immediately goes to mp3 so I don't have an exact image backup copy of the cd itself | 06:41 |
| bod_ | seacat, confusing way of saying that,.,.lol | 06:41 |
| seacat | drgeb, Applications --> Sound Juicer | 06:42 |
| BodOmLaW | ok i see | 06:42 |
| drgeb | bod_ what ISO copy programs are there for linux ? | 06:42 |
| * VvWolverinevV apologizes to bod_ | 06:42 | |
| * bod_ says thankyou, and just be patient ;) | 06:42 | |
| drgeb | seacat I know about sound juicer but this is not exactly what I am looking for | 06:42 |
| gmcastil | wow...3 wisemen are evil | 06:42 |
| seacat | drgeb, Is that what you want? | 06:42 |
| BodOmLaW | so now that i have my partitions i install? | 06:42 |
| seacat | drgeb, sudo apt-get install grip | 06:42 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: actualy, the installer will elt you do all that stuff yourself in it too | 06:43 |
| Flannel | BodOmLaW: You actually create the partitions in the installer, usually. | 06:43 |
| imaginal | drgeb: is wav exact enough for you? | 06:43 |
| BodOmLaW | yes, but i found it a little easier with gparted cause ive been playing with it all night | 06:43 |
| rctmcl | and practice sodomy | 06:43 |
| seacat | drgeb, grip - GNOME-based CD-player/ripper/encoder | 06:43 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: with a little bit of time, you'l find that command line utilities like fdisk are a lot faster and easier | 06:43 |
| PKdoR | mk is the make directory command right? | 06:44 |
| seacat | PKdoR, mkdir | 06:44 |
| mazev | PKdoR: mkdir | 06:44 |
| joseph | using ubuntu for my first time! | 06:44 |

| PKdoR | sudo mkdir /usr/lib/firefox/searchplugins | 06:44 |
| PKdoR | is that right | 06:44 |
| PKdoR | ? | 06:44 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: what are you doing and why? | 06:45 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, so,. he's still your friend ;),.,. | 06:45 |
| BodOmLaW | ok | 06:45 |
| seacat | PKdoR, Yes that is right syntax | 06:45 |
| joseph | i have one question though... i don't see like half the applications that are checked off in the add/remove applications in the applications folder | 06:45 |
| * gmcastil abhors the word 'folder' | 06:45 | |
| PKdoR | I have previouslly saved seach pluggins that I would like to import to ubuntu firefox | 06:45 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, as you learn how things work you will realise that the command line is indispensable | 06:45 |
| BodOmLaW | i do use terminal for sudo dmraid -ay | 06:45 |
| Mike__ | gmcastil, the people at #nvidia say its a ubuntu kernel module bug, I am not sure what I am looking for | 06:45 |
| BodOmLaW | to refresh | 06:45 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: you can do it in your home directory - that would be wizer, i think | 06:45 |
| seacat | joseph, What is your question? | 06:46 |
| PKdoR | they are in really>? | 06:46 |
| PKdoR | how would I go about that then./ | 06:46 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, which program do you use to listen to music? | 06:46 |
| gmcastil | Mike__: yeah, the ubuntu module is broken - you'll need to compile your own from source or wait until a patch comes out (which outht to be soon) | 06:46 |
| BodOmLaW | in xp it was itunes | 06:46 |
| BodOmLaW | but | 06:46 |
| BodOmLaW | now im gonna switch to songbird | 06:46 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: i use xmms, but there are a lot of other choices | 06:46 |
| BodOmLaW | some good mozzila stuff | 06:46 |
| tinman | I am getting a large number of errors after I had a boot problem ( i ran e2fsck through live cd) one of the error Failed to execute program /usr/lib/gnome-control-center/gnome-settings-daemon: Permission denied | 06:46 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, i suggest trying amarok,.,. do you have songbird installed atm? | 06:47 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, xmms mpg123 etc. etc. | 06:47 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: mpg123 is for kings | 06:47 |
| BodOmLaW | im on live right now | 06:47 |
| gmcastil | bash + mp3 ftw | 06:47 |
| PKdoR | I think I just found out how | 06:47 |
| Mike__ | gmcastil, which module are we talking about here, I compiled the nvidia module from source | 06:47 |
| joseph | seacat- i don't see like half the applications that are checked off in the add/remove applications in the applications folder | 06:47 |
| BodOmLaW | so if i did install my music is on a bunch of disks beside me | 06:47 |
| gmcastil | joseph: quit spamming | 06:47 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, try typing totem in a terminal,.,. | 06:47 |
| BodOmLaW | ? why | 06:47 |
| PKdoR | the settings are in ."folder name" right? | 06:47 |
| tinman | I am getting around 12 errors in total | 06:48 |
| BodOmLaW | what is totem? | 06:48 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: yeah, usually | 06:48 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, it will load a music/video player | 06:48 |
| PKdoR | ok | 06:48 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, Totem is a video player | 06:48 |
| gmcastil | PKdoR: thats the normal place for applications to stash user level stuff | 06:48 |
| BodOmLaW | can i stream music? | 06:48 |
| bod_ | yes | 06:48 |
| PKdoR | nice | 06:48 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: yeah | 06:48 |
| BodOmLaW | or do i have to have my own | 06:48 |
| BodOmLaW | off the internet? | 06:48 |
| BodOmLaW | or off disk | 06:48 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, Sure... | 06:48 |
| sosus_ | does anyone know how to get incoming video in skype to work? my webcam is working, but I cant see who I'm talking to | 06:49 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: there rreally ain't much you can't do in linux that you can do in windows, it just takes a little more effort and understanding | 06:49 |
| gmcastil | hey guys...i have to apologize if i'm being a dick....i'm completely trashed | 06:49 |
| * imaginal writes on gmcastil with a sharpee | 06:49 | |
| gmcastil | i've no idea what i've told anyone tonight...hopefully, i'm being helpful | 06:49 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, please control your urge to tell us things like this,.,. just be polite and we'll have no problems | 06:50 |
| seacat | gmcastil, BodOmLaW Actually, just different app names is all, it's not any more difficult really. | 06:50 |
| BodOmLaW | i have no music on here and the dvdrom is using the ubuntu disk, i cant play music | 06:50 |
| gmcastil | bod_: i like telling things like this...get over youself | 06:50 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: you're not being a dic*, you're actually helpfull, besides, tomorrow you can read the log:) | 06:50 |
| BodOmLaW | fakeraid is a lot more difficult | 06:50 |
| seacat | gmcastil, It that is the case, maybe you should just hide and watch. | 06:50 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: i finally found my .emacs file, so now i can actually work again | 06:50 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, im just trying to show you that anything you can do in the graphical interface, you can do from terminal,.,. such as typing firefox & to load mozilla firefox | 06:51 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: i had to pull it off of my work computer | 06:51 |
| BodOmLaW | cool | 06:51 |
| tinman | fastfinger was kicked from #xyz by ChanServ [You can not create new | 06:51 |

| tinman | channels.] | 06:51 |
| tinman | err | 06:51 |
| tinman | sorry | 06:51 |
| tinman | Sohuld I link to the screen shot of my errors? | 06:51 |
| Mike__ | can someone tell me how to make modprobe -r nvidia survive reboots | 06:51 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: don't know what an .emacs-file is, but, good that you found it:) | 06:51 |
| BodOmLaW | how long should i expect it too take to resize my partition? | 06:51 |
| seacat | gmcastil is an irssi user Yes? | 06:51 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: .files are config files | 06:51 |
| gmcastil | seacat: no...emacs | 06:51 |
| seacat | o | 06:51 |
| BodOmLaW | ? | 06:51 |
| imaginal | BodOmLaW: depends on the size | 06:52 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: dot-files are config files for programs | 06:52 |
| BodOmLaW | i installed xchat with terminal | 06:52 |
| BodOmLaW | fyi | 06:52 |
| Temagic | k | 06:52 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: open up a terminal, and type 'ls -al' and you'l see a bunch of hidden files | 06:52 |
| BodOmLaW | i had to google how | 06:52 |
| Temagic | so what is the .emacs a config file for? | 06:52 |
| gmcastil | .bashrc, .bash_profile are bsah files | 06:52 |
| BodOmLaW | but thats not the point lol | 06:52 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: emacs | 06:52 |
| Temagic | and emacs is what program? | 06:53 |
| Temagic | type of program.. | 06:53 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, cool,.,. have you tried loading xchat from terminal? by the way,. if your loading a program from terminal make sure to put a & after the name of the program eg xchat & so that you can still use the terminal after opening the program | 06:53 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: its a very extensible text editor...stands for Editor MACroS | 06:53 |
| Temagic | k | 06:53 |
| BodOmLaW | good tip thanks | 06:53 |
| Temagic | like a spiced up notepad:) | 06:54 |
| gmcastil | its basically a lisp interpreter that is used by a lot of programmers and some system admins | 06:54 |
| bod_ | ;) | 06:54 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: not really | 06:54 |
| BodOmLaW | what time is it? | 06:54 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: text editing is only a minor function | 06:54 |
| BodOmLaW | lol nevermind | 06:54 |
| BodOmLaW | you are who know where | 06:54 |
| Temagic | what are you programming gmcastil? | 06:54 |
| seacat | Temagic, emacs is a very powerful editor | 06:54 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, what? | 06:54 |
| BodOmLaW | nevermind | 06:55 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: as your time in linux progresses, you'l need to start learning to use a text edirot, and you'll learn to use emacs or vi (the other commonly used txt editor) | 06:55 |
| BodOmLaW | its taking forever! | 06:55 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, patience,.,.,.lol | 06:55 |
| Temagic | as in, me giving back to the community? :) | 06:55 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: there are basically two major divisions in the linux world concerning text editors - 44.5% use Vi, 44.5% use Emacs, and 1% use everything else | 06:56 |
| seacat | Temagic, emacs vim pico joe (Editors) | 06:56 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: people hold PASSIONATE beliefs...more than a few flame wars have started over it | 06:56 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as kwitschibo | ||
| gmcastil | Temagic: programmers tend to prefer emacs, while system admins prefer Vi, though exceptions are common | 06:56 |
| === kwitschibo is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| gmcastil | i myself am an exception....i started using Emacs as a systems admin | 06:56 |
| seacat | Temagic, And vi users don't talk to pico users etc. etc. etc. | 06:57 |
| gmcastil | yeah, basicaly, half and half use vi and emacs, very few use the others | 06:57 |
| BodOmLaW | gmcastil 44.5+44.5 = 89 | 06:57 |
| bod_ | Temagic, editors like vim or emacs are essential for modifying critical files if something goes wrong,. | 06:57 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: shit.... | 06:57 |
| BodOmLaW | what about the other 10%? | 06:57 |
| Temagic | hehe, well, I LOVE notepad that comes with windows:) Guess I'll check out emacs when I install ubuntu then. Vi I've tried before... on Fedora... for some config file or something | 06:57 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 06:57 |
| BodOmLaW | im considering fedora now | 06:57 |
| seacat | Temagic, You'll like gedit | 06:57 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, why? | 06:57 |
| BodOmLaW | cause it is raid compatible | 06:58 |
| gmcastil | learn to use Vi at least a little bit - its required on a linux installation, so you'll always have it there | 06:58 |
| seacat | Temagic, But the others we discussed are CLI | 06:58 |
| Temagic | BodOmLaW: nah, poor translation and confusing menus... | 06:58 |
| bod_ | Temagic, true, you may prefer gedit or nano, but remember that emacs and vi are the more powerfull ones | 06:58 |
| * mopflite loves vi (well, vim) | 06:58 | |
| gmcastil | Temagic: it's important to be able to use Vi a little bit, since if you need to fix your system without X, you can use it | 06:58 |
| BodOmLaW | so you guys are hardcore Ubuntu eh? | 06:58 |
| * gmcastil thinks Vi is important to know a little bit about, since it isn't linked against X | 06:58 | |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: no...just linux | 06:59 |
| seacat | Temagic, nano is a good one to start with, it's very simple and easy to learn. | 06:59 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, im runing 7.10 with compiz, and it seems to be fine, ie fast and stable, except for one thing. When im running a 3d application, if something causes that application to lose focus, ie a pidgin guification or a rhythmbox bubble thing, my entire system hangs and needs a hard reboot, what can i do? | 06:59 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, although vi has a non-newb friendly way of using it, you can still use nano without X | 06:59 |
| Temagic | sure, I don't doubt it... I'll get to learn all those programs in due time... right now, I'm forgetting all the names of text editors:) | 06:59 |
| detgar | could someone go to System->Preferences->Sessions and let me know the command used to start NetworkManager, please? | 06:59 |
| gmcastil | bod_: nano isn't required on a linux installation - Vi is | 06:59 |
| seacat | jscinoz, uninstall compiz | 06:59 |
| BodOmLaW | holy shit! its working finally fuck | 06:59 |
| mopflite | Temagic: it's worth learning vi or emacs since either can be used remotely when ssh'ed into a linux machine - as you progress in your linux adventures you will probably want to be able to maintain and administer machines remotely, without being sat at them with a keyboard, mouse and monitor | 06:59 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, no, what im saying is, vi can be difficult to use if you dont no what your doing | 07:00 |
| Temagic | BodOmLaW: I'm sitting on OpenSUSE now as we speak. I like it, but my hardware isn't 100% compatible with it, which it is with ubuntu | 07:00 |
| bod_ | !language | BodOmLaW | 07:00 |
| ubotu | BodOmLaW: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:00 |

| ePax | How do i get .PBP files to run whith PSX emulator? | 07:00 |
| BodOmLaW | lol for all those 8 year all developers right? | 07:00 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, Easer than MS Windows, right? | 07:00 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: all the verions just blend together at this point...linux is linux, although Ubuntu does some really wierd shit sometimes | 07:00 |

| bod_ | gmcastil, true,.,.lol,.,. | 07:00 |
| mopflite | Temagic: I started out with suse in 2002 but they've lost their way a bit imho - I tried opensuse 10.3 the other day and really didn't like it too much | 07:00 |
| ePax | Or how do i reverse .PBP files to .ISO files with CUE? | 07:00 |
| corporeal | anyone here use funionfs? | 07:00 |
| BodOmLaW | what is easer? | 07:01 |
| gmcastil | mopflite: i was redhat for life.....bastards blew it | 07:01 |
| seacat | Ubuntu | 07:01 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: ubuntu would be real easy for a neophyte to start learning the way linux works | 07:01 |
| mopflite | gmcastil: I've heard that yes | 07:01 |
| BodOmLaW | define neophyte | 07:01 |
| gmcastil | seacat: it really takes the edge off of the learning curve | 07:01 |
| mopflite | ubuntu is actually easier to learn than windows, for a complete newbie to computing in general | 07:01 |

| Temagic | me too, and I'm a complete newb (though I got fedora working... lots of text editing and googling for command lines... like DOS lol...) I like the idea of opensoftware, so I'm sure BigbRother doesn't record my webcaam and screen my files and check on everything I type and do and say. I do NOT trust Microsoft, for the simple reason that Microsoft and Bono are working together:) | 07:03 |
| ePax | But its one of the easier linux distros and its easy to get help as well. | 07:03 |
| gmcastil | ePax: i disagree - linux is harder to learn that windows simply because there's more to learn and the answer is never "its broken" | 07:03 |
| BodOmLaW | that is why i am here not spending hours google the same stuff over and over | 07:03 |

| gmcastil | well, i'm off to bed unless there are any last questions | 07:06 |
| Temagic | yeah belgian beer, I second that! | 07:06 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, haha,.,. night | 07:06 |
| lolmaus | Hi ^_^ | 07:06 |
| gmcastil | Temagic: new belgium brewing is just up the street from my house | 07:06 |
| BodOmLaW | yes the and the belgium chocolate is the best | 07:06 |
| Nyle | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54301/ <-- this is my dmesg|grep ata . Sometimes while using my system, my compter freezes up for like half a minute to a minute and then starts working ok. I have recently started to see some of these messages while booting up that were not there before regarding ata. Could someone please look and possibly help me figure out if it is my disk that is going bad | 07:06 |
| gmcastil | lolmaus: this had better be good | 07:07 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: good "night" | 07:07 |
| Nyle | Thank you very much | 07:07 |
| BodOmLaW | deos anyone here overclock? | 07:07 |
| seacat | Gennis Extra Stout rocks! (actually, I like half & half best) | 07:07 |
| Temagic | gmcastil: good night and thank you for your time and effort | 07:07 |
| BodOmLaW | cause i restored my bios today | 07:07 |
| BodOmLaW | but before | 07:07 |
| BodOmLaW | it was beeping before it would boot | 07:07 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, do you mean overclocking your processor? | 07:07 |
| BodOmLaW | yes | 07:07 |
| gmcastil | i'll be baack on tomo=rrow night - i've onlhy been using ubuntu about a day or so :) | 07:07 |
| Temagic | :) | 07:08 |
| Temagic | 45% downloaded.... | 07:08 |
| seacat | BodOmLaW, I see little need for overclocking. | 07:08 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, why would you want to overclock it? dont do it without allot of reading first | 07:08 |
| === monkey_ is now known as monTree | ||
| BodOmLaW | i know what im doing | 07:08 |
| bod_ | seacat, its generally used for gaming computers | 07:08 |
| BodOmLaW | i just wondered about what message the beeps were giving me | 07:08 |
| Temagic | BodOmLaW: do you play a lot of 4d games? | 07:08 |
| Nyle | can I get some help with my problem? | 07:08 |
| BodOmLaW | 4d? | 07:09 |
| seacat | I would rather have a stable system than one that might be a tiny bit faster. | 07:09 |
| Temagic | oh, sorry, 3d | 07:09 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, good,. then you know theres no point,. especialy as ubuntu doesnt kill the processor like windows does | 07:09 |
| BodOmLaW | yes i do | 07:09 |
| Temagic | i'm a bit tired | 07:09 |
| Nyle | maybe this is better suiited for #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:09 |
| Nyle | ? | 07:09 |
| gmcastil | bod_: or the user | 07:09 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: yes | 07:09 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, yer ;) | 07:09 |
| seacat | Nyle, If you ask a specific question, we will try to answer. | 07:09 |
| Nyle | seacat: scroll up | 07:09 |
| BodOmLaW | at 2.4gHz my comp is laggy on crysis | 07:09 |
| gmcastil | seacat: vague + ambiguiouty == ..|. | 07:09 |
| ePax | He asked allready. | 07:09 |
| BodOmLaW | and many other games | 07:09 |
| Temagic | so that's why you overclock... anyway, the manual of your motherboard should tell you the meaning of the error codes (i.e. the system beeps) | 07:09 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: well...yeah | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | i was at 3.5 | 07:10 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: yuou need a cluster to run that thing | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | i always wanted a cluster | 07:10 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: they're a pain in the ass | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | but widows deosnt do it | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | so no gaming potentia | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | l | 07:10 |
| Nyle | could you take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please | 07:10 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: yes it does | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | right? | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | really? | 07:10 |
| BodOmLaW | how deos it work | 07:11 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: yeah, there is clustering softwrae that runs on windows | 07:11 |
| foxiness | i have a device that work well when hald turn it off ,is there a way to let hald run and this device ignore by hald ? | 07:11 |
| Nyle | I am trying to get some actual support here, and your discussions not regarding ubuntu support are distracting others and not letting them see my problem | 07:11 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, do you know that ubuntu is not a gaming OS,. linux doesnt support high end windows games yeet | 07:11 |
| BodOmLaW | i know this | 07:11 |
| BodOmLaW | im going to dual boot with xp | 07:11 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: clustering is basically just two things: unfettered network access between the nodes and a software library that allows for farming out of work to the nodes | 07:11 |
| BodOmLaW | just for gaming | 07:11 |
| BodOmLaW | ic | 07:11 |
| Nyle | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54301/ <-- this is my dmesg|grep ata . Sometimes while using my system, my compter freezes up for like half a minute to a minute and then starts working ok. I have recently started to see some of these messages while booting up that were not there before regarding ata. Could someone please look and possibly help me figure out if it is my disk that is going bad | 07:11 |
| Nyle | Thank you very much. | 07:12 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: mpich is the main one used in the linux world....no idea what windows uses these days | 07:12 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: quit spamming | 07:12 |
| seacat | Nyle, There are utilities for testing HDs, you should try one, but would also suggest testing memory. memtest | 07:12 |
| BodOmLaW | so its like a raid 0 but with whole computers | 07:12 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: i'm not clicking that link | 07:12 |
| BodOmLaW | memtest is a good one | 07:12 |
| BodOmLaW | good for mem overclocking | 07:12 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: not really, its like 40 computers that can connect to each other without authentication | 07:12 |
| Nyle | memtest? for ata errors? | 07:12 |
| BodOmLaW | just a network? | 07:12 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: yeah, a netowrk | 07:13 |
| Nyle | oh nm | 07:13 |
| Corty | Does anyone know, why my keyboard shortcuts mess up when i start vmware-player? | 07:13 |
| seacat | Nyle, Boot the install CD and run memtest | 07:13 |
| BodOmLaW | but it deos divide the work right? | 07:13 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: one of the nodes, the master node, runs the program and then farms out the work to other nodes | 07:13 |
| Nyle | seacat: my memory is fine. | 07:13 |
| Temagic | Nyle: yes, and also make sure the sata cable is straight | 07:13 |
| bod_ | seacat, you can run memtest from the grub menu,.,.you dont need the cd | 07:13 |
| Corty | I have to change the Scheme back to something else, and back to the original again | 07:13 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: yeah, and to do that, it needs a software library which allows for the allocation of work | 07:13 |
| BodOmLaW | deos it work in a pyramid shape or a nova? | 07:13 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: a ring is how its typically done these days, i think - i dont remembver the speicifcs of it | 07:14 |
| Nyle | what are some tools I can use to check my hdd's health in every way? | 07:14 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: fdisk | 07:14 |
| seacat | bod_, Didn't know that. Thank you. | 07:14 |
| Nyle | file system + physical | 07:14 |
| BodOmLaW | hdtach i think | 07:14 |
| Nyle | gmcastil: fdisk? | 07:14 |
| BodOmLaW | in windows | 07:14 |
| BodOmLaW | probly no help to you | 07:14 |
| Nyle | gmcastil: please don't try to help me. | 07:14 |
| gmcastil | i won't | 07:14 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: you can't run just any software on a cluster...it has to be written using a special library that allows for all that stuff | 07:14 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, BodOmLaW, guys can you take your convo to #ubuntu-offtopic please,. theres people needing answers now | 07:15 |
| BodOmLaW | tell nyle to fuck off if hes gonna be like that | 07:15 |
| bod_ | seacat, no probs.,.,. | 07:15 |
| BodOmLaW | sorry about my dirty french | 07:15 |
| gmcastil | bod_: uh...we're talking about using linux to build a cluster, not really ot | 07:15 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, keep it clean please | 07:15 |
| ePax | Where are all thouse ops | 07:15 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: anyway, that's the basic idea behind it | 07:15 |
| ePax | !ops | 07:15 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, but its not a support question either | 07:15 |

| imaginal | How do I find my monitor's horizontal sync range? I have the maintenance guide here on it | 07:15 |
| BodOmLaW | cool thanks | 07:15 |
| Corty | Nyle, You have to use your filesystem tools for that. e2fsck for example | 07:15 |
| gmcastil | bod_ its irc.... | 07:16 |
| Nyle | gmcastil stated that he has been using ubuntu for 1 day. I am asking problem on my ata errors, and about some tools to check my hdd health, and he is telling me to use fdisk. I simply requested that he try not help me. | 07:16 |
| seacat | !language | BodOmLaW | 07:16 |
| ubotu | BodOmLaW: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:16 |
| Nyle | Corty: oh ok, I can read the docs for that | 07:16 |
| BodOmLaW | t-1:37H | 07:16 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: well....using ubuntu for 1 day....using linux? ....longer than you | 07:16 |
| Nyle | Corty: how about physically | 07:16 |
| Corty | Nyle, :) aye | 07:16 |
| nixternal | BodOmLaW: no need to tell you to keep the language clean now I guess :) | 07:16 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: here...hold on, i'll go google your error for you | 07:16 |
| Corty | Nyle, mmmm... I always do a full dd read and write and see if everything is ok, but that takes a while *g* | 07:16 |
| Corty | gmcastil, lol | 07:16 |
| BodOmLaW | nixturnal why is that? | 07:16 |
| nixternal | everyone else has | 07:16 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, i had no problem with you discussing things while the channel was empty, but now people have specifically said your posts are diverting attention away from problems | 07:17 |
| Nyle | Corty: I see | 07:17 |
| BodOmLaW | ic | 07:17 |
| BodOmLaW | thats what i though you meant | 07:17 |
| Nyle | Corty: I used smartmontools and everything seems to be ok | 07:17 |
| Nyle | the disk isn't making any sounds | 07:17 |
| Nyle | in fact I did a full badblocks scan as well as a full fsck | 07:17 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: yup...google has a whole bunch of crap on it that you might need | 07:17 |
| Nyle | I have done memtests for 4 passes | 07:17 |
| Corty | Nyle, :) | 07:17 |
| seacat | Nyle, Did you run memtest? | 07:17 |
| Nyle | yes I have | 07:17 |
| Corty | Nyle, sounds good | 07:17 |
| Nyle | as I reported earlier, memory is fine | 07:17 |
| Corty | Nyle, Any I/O shit happened? | 07:17 |
| BodOmLaW | brb | 07:18 |
| Nyle | gmcastil: please do not address me any more. You are only being sarcastic and not helpful. | 07:18 |
| seacat | Nyle, run memtest for a couple hours, see if it comes up with any errors. | 07:18 |
| bod_ | !language | Corty | 07:18 |
| ubotu | Corty: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 07:18 |
| Nyle | Corty: I dont' seem to recall | 07:18 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: in all seriousness, what I would do is try to build a kernel | 07:18 |
| Corty | huh | 07:18 |
| Corty | what did I... | 07:18 |
| Corty | ah, ok, got it. | 07:18 |
| cbquick | i am trying to use the Kdevelop program, i have a simple hello world program, how do i run it? | 07:18 |
| Corty | hrhr | 07:18 |
| procrastinator | is it possible to mount sfs and if so, how does one do it? | 07:18 |
| bod_ | Corty, cheers | 07:18 |
| Nyle | gmcastil: why are you maliciously giving ill advice? | 07:18 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: i'm not | 07:18 |
| Corty | bod_, :) | 07:18 |
| cvd | Hey in windows i use ipconfig/all and in linux? | 07:18 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: the I/O during a kernel build is pretty intense...if there's a problem with your hard drive, that'll show you | 07:18 |
| nixternal | guess angelina jolie finally had enough of the excess floods | 07:19 |
| Corty | cvd ifconfig, simple *g* | 07:19 |
| seacat | Nyle, Discribe your PC. CPU, Meomry, etc.. | 07:19 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: or, if you want a windows solution, scandisk works really well | 07:19 |
| bod_ | cvd, ipconfig = ifconfig in linux | 07:19 |
| Corty | bod_, cheers :) | 07:19 |
| bod_ | ;) | 07:19 |
| gmcastil | Nyle: speeddisk, not scandisk | 07:19 |
| Nyle | 02:17 Ignoring ALL from gmcastil | 07:19 |
| Nyle | *sigh* | 07:19 |
| Corty | gmcastil, did he read that? *g* | 07:19 |
| gmcastil | no | 07:19 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, windows call it diskcheck now,. they keep changing the name,.same program | 07:19 |
| Corty | ... | 07:19 |
| Nyle | seacat: core 2 e6300, 2gb ram, x1900xtx, ga 965 p s3 motherboard | 07:20 |
| gmcastil | bod_: i was actually referring to a utility called ....lemme find it | 07:20 |
| gmcastil | spinrite | 07:20 |
| gmcastil | wow, i was way off | 07:20 |
| seacat | bod_, REally? Did they change scandisk to diskcheck ? Is that Vista lingo? | 07:20 |
| Nyle | seacat: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54301/ <-- output of dmesg|grep ata | 07:20 |
| bod_ | seacat, no im afraid thats actually xp lingo | 07:20 |
| gmcastil | someone tell nyla that she should give spinrite a try | 07:21 |
| Kevin` | scandisk changed to chkdsk in xp | 07:21 |
| Nyle | could you kindly take a peek | 07:21 |
| izzyb_ | how do I go about restarting the kde mediamanager if it isn't running? | 07:21 |
| Kevin` | spinrite doesn't do anything to a drive that badblocks doesn't | 07:21 |
| gmcastil | i think he wanted a windows solution | 07:21 |
| * izzyb_ was trying to unmount a thumb drive and something went wrong | 07:21 | |
| Nyle | izzyb_: whats the error message? | 07:21 |
| cvd | inet addr - ip? | 07:21 |
| seacat | Kevin`, chkdsk is old name | 07:22 |
| izzyb_ | now I get a message that the kde mediamanager is not running | 07:22 |
| cbquick | anyone tell me how to compile a program | 07:22 |
| Kevin` | if you have a drive with bad blocks, there are very few cases where you should try to recover them | 07:22 |
| Kevin` | seacat and the new name. | 07:22 |
| gmcastil | cbquick: make | 07:22 |
| izzyb_ | when I try to view the storage media | 07:22 |
| gmcastil | Kevin`: yeah, you usually can't | 07:22 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: I didn't find any badblocks | 07:22 |
| gmcastil | Kevin`: at best, you just work around them | 07:22 |
| cbquick | ok, thanks | 07:22 |
| seacat | Kevin`, So they just reverted back to the old name.... ??? | 07:22 |
| Nyle | I found some ata errors during bootup though | 07:22 |
| Kevin` | seacat yes | 07:22 |
| gmcastil | seacat: i think his problem is something like a bad northbridge or controller | 07:22 |
| seacat | Kevin`, Very Clever! :) | 07:22 |
| BodOmLaW | back | 07:23 |
| bod_ | seacat, my knowledge only goes back to win98 but its been scandisk untill xp (since 98) | 07:23 |
| BodOmLaW | gmcastil a question about the clusters again, deos all the data get stored on the masternode? | 07:23 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: depends, but yeah, usually - the nodes are almost always discless | 07:24 |
| Nyle | wow | 07:24 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: they boot off of server | 07:24 |
| BodOmLaW | ic | 07:24 |
| BodOmLaW | fasinating | 07:24 |
| Nyle | I was hoping for this channel to be supportive and useful | 07:24 |
| gmcastil | maybe if he wasn't a dick | 07:24 |
| Corty | Nyle, :/ | 07:24 |
| * gmcastil waves at Nyla | 07:24 | |
| BodOmLaW | it is if your not a douche | 07:24 |
| nixternal | gmcastil: watch your language please | 07:24 |
| bod_ | Nyle, ive looked at your message but i do not no the answer,. | 07:24 |
| seacat | bod_, I started with dos3.1 and always though what a un-imaginative name DOS was. :) | 07:24 |
| Nyle | Corty: :( I know, it saddens me too | 07:24 |
| BodOmLaW | i got help | 07:24 |
| bod_ | seacat, DOS is not a windows program | 07:25 |
| Nyle | Corty: there are gems within the crowd of imbeciles though | 07:25 |
| Nyle | and they are always appreciated | 07:25 |
| ePax | Nyle: Try to search for answers in http://ubuntuforums.org/ as well. It might help. | 07:25 |
| kdubois | yay ubuntu@! | 07:25 |
| Kevin` | Nyle I didn't see your entire problem, but did you run smartctl on the drive? | 07:25 |
| gmcastil | i suggest google | 07:25 |
| Corty | Nyle, :) Always, you just have to search a lot | 07:25 |
| cbquick | how do i get a makefile | 07:25 |
| Nyle | ePax: thanks, I'll try searching there as well | 07:25 |
| gmcastil | cbquick: part of the source code | 07:25 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: yes I did | 07:25 |
| seacat | bod_, Yes, I know. It is CLI only. | 07:25 |
| Kevin` | Nyle do you have a pastebin of the results? | 07:25 |
| Nyle | that I do not, I did that this morning | 07:26 |
| seacat | bod_, And then there was DRdos. PRetty good actually | 07:26 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: just to be sure again, I ran smarctl --all | 07:26 |
| bod_ | seacat, it was written by someone as a university project, then microsoft bullied him into handing it over, then changed the syntax so he couldnt cdo anything about it | 07:26 |
| ePax | cbquick: make install | 07:26 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: is there some specific switch like -Dc or something I should run | 07:26 |
| Nyle | ? | 07:26 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: anyway, the standard approach is that the nodes boot off of the master node which farms the work out to the nodes...the nodes usually NFS mount the drive from the master | 07:26 |
| sapperjanko | hey all, im still having problems here with chmod keeps coming back sayin Operation not permitted, now i was also able 2 fix my sudoers file n looks something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54302/ | 07:26 |
| Kevin` | Nyle -a should give enough info. also have it run a long self test | 07:27 |
| === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode | ||
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: one of the biggest challenges is all the nodes writing to the same data at the same time | 07:27 |
| seacat | bod_, Yea, and wasn't that nice.... | 07:27 |
| Nyle | hmm. ok I'll scan the manpage again for a list of the options | 07:27 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 07:27 |
| Kevin` | Nyle the individual numbers are more important then the pass/fail indicator, of course | 07:27 |
| bod_ | seacat, did you know that the 2 creaters of mac went to school with Mr Gates? | 07:27 |
| Nyle | absolutely | 07:28 |
| BodOmLaW | can you have raid 0 arrays with more than 2 disks? | 07:28 |
| seacat | bod_, No, didn't know that. | 07:28 |
| * bod_ you learn something new everyday | 07:28 | |
| BodOmLaW | id like a raid 0 array with some solid state drives | 07:28 |
| Temagic | BodOmLaW: yes you can | 07:28 |
| Nyle | I am not SMART guru so I would need assistance in deciphering what all this means. I was on smartmontools.soureforge.net reading the docs for a while, I suppose I'm so tired now I forget | 07:28 |
| gmcastil | BodOmLaW: i believe you can | 07:28 |
| BodOmLaW | geeky cream dream | 07:28 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 07:28 |
| Nyle | let me tell you how it all began | 07:28 |
| seacat | bod_, Really like the new osX It's very nice! | 07:28 |
| bod_ | ;) | 07:29 |
| hellothereher1 | hi, since I installed gutsy I me getting problems with computer, firefox gets stuck, the computer some times freezes and I see that its doing something but cant see what is it, and the only solution is to turn off the comoputer using the power button | 07:29 |
| seacat | bod_, Those guys got it right from the beginning IMO. | 07:29 |
| sapperjanko | anyone able 2 tell me what is goin on here, n y i still cant write | 07:29 |
| bod_ | seacat, only in the visual aspect,.,. | 07:29 |
| bod_ | sapperjanko, whats the problem? | 07:29 |
| sapperjanko | hey all, im still having problems here with chmod keeps coming back sayin Operation not permitted, now i was also able 2 fix my sudoers file n looks something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54302/ | 07:29 |
| hellothereher1 | is that a known behavior or something, I was running 7.04 with 1GB ram and it was great, now I have 2GB ram and I get problems. | 07:30 |
| DanThirst | omgawd i think i just fell in love with the alternative install cd for ubuntu | 07:30 |
| Nyle | I was on my other partition, windows xp pro x64, and I disabled one of my wireless NIC. System froze, I rebooted, and it won't boot, safemode says acpitabl.dat not found, and in recovery consosle there is no system32\drivers\ folder. THAT is when my linux distro started acting up. So I took out the wifi nic thinking it was that, but this behaviour is sporadic and continues | 07:30 |
| seacat | sapperjanko, Can't write to what? | 07:30 |
| Nyle | if I disconnect this hdd and stress test my system in all ways, no crashes at all | 07:30 |
| sapperjanko | I am trying to chmod o+rw /var/www but still not having any luck in been able 2 do so | 07:30 |
| Nyle | its this hdd, but during testing i couldnt' find any errors with it | 07:30 |
| Corty | mystic | 07:31 |
| Kevin` | Nyle I once had a problem like that that I traced to a bad ide cable | 07:31 |
| seacat | sapperjanko, Is this a new user account? Or the original one? | 07:31 |
| bod_ | Nyle, theres another prime example of windows breaking,.,. but if its lost your system 32 drivers folder, are you sure it didnt lose anything else from system 32? | 07:31 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: I just switched my sata cable from orange to red | 07:31 |
| Nyle | :) | 07:31 |
| Nyle | lets see... so far I haven't had a problem | 07:31 |

| BodOmLaW | someone just asked me what linux was eh. | 07:31 |
| seacat | sapperjanko, Use symlinks | 07:31 |
| bod_ | Nyle, i like the green ones personally | 07:32 |
| Kevin` | sata would probably either work or not work, at the cable level, since it's serial | 07:32 |
| Corty | BodOmLaW, was!?? | 07:32 |
| bod_ | is | 07:32 |
| sapperjanko | seacat: its the original, i also do have another account made on samba, but that user can only read in windows, n cant log into ubuntu.... i dunno what im doin here | 07:32 |
| Corty | BodOmLaW, How could he even talk from the past! | 07:32 |
| cvd | its there a really advantage using a SATA over a IDE? | 07:33 |
| sapperjanko | !symlinks | 07:33 |
| seacat | sapperjanko, ln -s /home/sapperjanko/webdirectory /var/www/ | 07:33 |

| doctorow | Yesterday I upgraded to Gutsy and noticed that my sound wasn't working in Flash on Firefox anymore. So I changed Firefox's sound to AOSS, and then reinstalled the Flash plugin, logged out and logged in again. Sound worked briefly. Then I launched Amarok, and both Firefox and Amarok hung. Now Amarok hangs whenever I launch it, and Firefox hangs when I load any Flash | 07:33 |

| Tidus | i have a quick question... i'm trying to get the gnome-panel drag anchors to disappear (kinda like you can do in KDE to make them go away) ... how would i go about doing this? | 07:37 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54303/ <-- output of smartctl -a | 07:37 |
| doctorow | /quit | 07:38 |
| DanThirst | whenever i try to install the baste system i get a debootstrap warning | 07:38 |
| seacat | Tidus, Right click on it and tell it to go away. | 07:38 |
| BodOmLaW | if you want to be a phallus* | 07:38 |
| BodOmLaW | is that better | 07:38 |
| BodOmLaW | sorry it took so long | 07:38 |
| DanThirst | then the sed_4.1.5~ was corrupt | 07:38 |
| BodOmLaW | i had to google it | 07:38 |
| BodOmLaW | for the spelling | 07:38 |
| DanThirst | then it runs into a few more that fail to install | 07:38 |
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, pm me if you want a biology discussion | 07:39 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 07:39 |
| Tidus | seacat: that won't help me any. all that comes up is "Remove from panel" and "lock" ... and when i hit remove from panel, whatever that anchor is attached to goes away with the anchor | 07:39 |
| Kevin` | Nyle random idea, do you have spread spectrum enabled? | 07:39 |
| BodOmLaW | T-1H6M30S | 07:39 |
| seacat | Tidus, O | 07:39 |
| BodOmLaW | spread spectrum is a cpu function is it not? | 07:40 |
| BodOmLaW | how will that help him? | 07:40 |
| seacat | Tidus, Maybe they are not removable? | 07:40 |
| seacat | I dono | 07:40 |
| Kevin` | bob* it applies to several things | 07:40 |
| Nyle | Kevin`: I don't recall seeing this option in the bios, but I can't afford to reboot at this time. I don't know if this is available in my bios. GA 965P S3 v F12 | 07:40 |
| Nyle | Gigabyte | 07:40 |
| bod_ | Tidus, what are you trying to remove? | 07:40 |
| Tidus | seacat: i'm trying to make the anchor 'hide' while keeping, for example, my task list on the bar | 07:40 |
| Nyle | I'll look at the manual.. if it is available, more than likely I've turned it on | 07:40 |
| BodOmLaW | it should be in your cpu configuration section | 07:41 |
| Tidus | bod_: ^^ | 07:41 |
| Nyle | eitherway, I'm not sure | 07:41 |
| bod_ | Tidus, im unsure what you mean by 'anchor' | 07:41 |
| Tidus | bod_: i'll put up a screenshot for you | 07:41 |

| Nyle | anyway, thanks everyone | 07:48 |
| bod_ | panfist, vnc | 07:48 |
| Tidus | bod_: quick question. what'd ya think of the way i have my screen laid out? | 07:48 |
| bod_ | Tidus, kde or gnome which r u using? | 07:49 |
| panfist | bod there are many vnc packages...which one do i install? | 07:49 |
| Tidus | bod_: that's gnome | 07:49 |
| Nyle | panfist: aptitude install xtightvncviewer and vncserver | 07:50 |
| Nyle | panfist: infact, just aptitude search tightvnc | 07:50 |
| Nyle | tight is the fastest and most compressive algorythm used | 07:50 |
| bod_ | Tidus, its good,.,. but too much like kde for my liking,.,.,.,. ;~) | 07:50 |
| panfist | nyle the description of vncserver says that the package exists only for compatability purposes and vnc4server is newer | 07:51 |
| === monkey_ is now known as monTree | ||
| Nyle | panfist: you are trying to setup a server or what? | 07:51 |
| Nyle | panfist: what is your goal? | 07:51 |
| Tidus | lol... my screen is small (14.1" LCD in a laptop) so it's a bit low resolution to be having two bars | 07:51 |
| panfist | nyle also i justt need to run a vnc server on my kubuntu box i have a viewer on this box | 07:51 |
| bod_ | Tidus, why not shrink the bars? | 07:51 |
| Nyle | panfist: simply, aptitude isntall vncserver, follow the prompts | 07:51 |
| Tidus | bod_: anything smaller than 24px and i simply can't see it | 07:51 |
| sapperjanko | seacat: so i guess now i gotta install symlink | 07:52 |

| bod_ | Tidus, true,.,.,.,.,.lol | 07:52 |
| BodOmLaW | i have a great question | 07:52 |
| bod_ | ? | 07:52 |
| Nyle | panfist: it will ask to set a password, set one | 07:52 |
| BodOmLaW | why would yyou want a 64bit cpu? | 07:52 |
| panfist | nyle whats the :0 for | 07:52 |
| BodOmLaW | what is the real difference | 07:52 |
| Nyle | panfist: to run it on display :0 | 07:52 |
| Nyle | not the actual $DISPLAY mindyou | 07:53 |
| Nyle | for that you would require Xvnc | 07:53 |
| Nyle | so that you can serve up your current running X session over vnc | 07:53 |
| Nyle | vncserver will spawn a brand new session | 07:53 |
| Nyle | you must decide what you want, and better read up on vnc documentation | 07:53 |

| Carbonflux | has anyone played around with running Wine of a native XP partition in 7.10 now that NTFS read/write is released ? | 08:19 |
| Carbonflux | off* | 08:19 |
| AnRkey | i have a share mounted with SMBfs. Whenever the server becomes unavailable, nautilus hangs and I have to "sudo umount /media/sharename -f" and then I remount my shares with "sudo mount -a" | 08:20 |
| AnRkey | is there no easier way to do this? | 08:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | Funny thing is, is that im not even a member of this team, im beginner forum lol | 08:20 |
| travis_ | No dice... I wonder if I'm working at the right thing | 08:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | dont mean i wont step in when needed | 08:20 |
| AnRkey | or is there a way to allow for some small margin of error? | 08:20 |
| bod_ | speeddemon8803, im just a volunteer,. helping out | 08:21 |
| Carbonflux | AnRkey, well, there is the process that happens when you mount a CD automaticly | 08:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | me too :) | 08:21 |
| Carbonflux | AnRkey, so, it Can be done on some level | 08:21 |
| bod_ | ;) | 08:21 |
| Carbonflux | AnRkey, I just don't know how | 08:21 |
| travis_ | So, if I drag a window up and down the workspace, things look fine. Left and right, the edges break. What is going on? | 08:22 |
| bod_ | anyway im off guys,. cya later | 08:22 |
| speeddemon8803 | thats a compiz thing travis, sounds like your card cant handle something | 08:23 |
| speeddemon8803 | mine does that too | 08:23 |
| travis_ | speeddemon8803: compiz is not running. Just metacity | 08:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | hmm.. | 08:24 |
| terje__ | try typing alt+F2 compiz | 08:24 |
| travis_ | terje__: My card is blacklisted against compiz... | 08:25 |
| travis_ | I can get it to run by ignoring errors, but that is just to say that isn't the problem, I don't think | 08:26 |
| Carbonflux | what driver are you using travis_ ? | 08:27 |
| gpsock | Hi, everybody, gassho :--) | 08:27 |
| travis_ | Carbonflux: intel | 08:27 |
| Carbonflux | so you are using the vesa driver ? | 08:28 |
| gpsock | Sorry, wrong room... | 08:28 |
| travis_ | Carbonflux: What is the best way to check? | 08:28 |
| Carbonflux | System->Administration->Screens and Graphics | 08:29 |
| Carbonflux | then click the graphics card tab | 08:29 |
| travis_ | Carbonflux: Yes, VESA Driver (generic) | 08:30 |
| Carbonflux | well, you can try a different driver | 08:31 |
| Carbonflux | if you want | 08:31 |
| Carbonflux | kind of hard to debug a issue like this, it sounds like something is corrupt tho | 08:31 |
| Carbonflux | there are several intel chip-sets listed in the list of graphics cards | 08:32 |
| Carbonflux | if one matches try that | 08:32 |
| Carbonflux | or try VGA | 08:32 |
| Carbonflux | !enter | Carbonflux | 08:32 |
| Carbonflux | hm, heh, there was one that tells you not you use the enter key so much | 08:33 |
| AnRkey | Carbonflux, so... | 08:33 |
| devilsadvocate | is it possible to mount one folder onto another? | 08:33 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, You mean to link one to another? | 08:34 |
| Carbonflux | AnRkey, so I think in theory its possible to do what you want, might be kind of hard to format a google search line for it tho | 08:34 |
| jegggg | I want to enable DVD Playblack (encrypted) in Ubuntu, but it is illegal in the US. I have bought the computer with windows vista and it plays these dvds, So would it be illegal if I download libdvdcss? I bought the license to be able to play in Windows, dont I? | 08:34 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, i need a mount. not justa symlink | 08:34 |
| Carbonflux | !dvd | 08:34 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 08:34 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| travis_ | Carbonflux: I understand. This is a fresh install. Thanks | 08:34 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, You can mount a device to a mount point, which would be a directory on the filesystem. | 08:34 |
| w0t | how do i find my local ip from the terminal? | 08:34 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, i know that. i need to mount one folder of an already mounted filesystem into another folder on the root filesystem | 08:35 |
| Carbonflux | travis_, playing around with the driver is what I would try, sound kind of low level whats happening, if its not a composite manager it seems like its the xserver or the driver. | 08:35 |
| === OptimusPrime is now known as Xerozo | ||
| tokok | w0t: ifconfig | 08:36 |
| w0t | thanks | 08:36 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, Mount one folder into another? Not sure....???? | 08:36 |
| w0t | almost ipconfig then | 08:36 |
| w0t | is it eth0, eth1 or lo? | 08:37 |
| devilsadvocate | i used to do it earlier somehow. cant find out how :\ | 08:37 |
| w0t | :o | 08:37 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, You can't mount something that is already mounted. You mount devices, not directories. | 08:37 |
| Carbonflux | jegggg, it just says its "encrypted" the issue is open source and licensing which is why Ubuntu does not ship by default with the ability to play commercial DVDs, once you follow the guides for install the right packages it works great tho | 08:37 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, mount --bind is supposed to work , from what i read | 08:37 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, You are using wrong language, I think. Try to explain with different terms. | 08:38 |
| Carbonflux | a mount point is arbitrary | 08:38 |
| Carbonflux | you link a mount point with a device | 08:38 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, see man mount | 08:38 |
| lolmaus | Hello. I've just installed Kubuntu on a separate machine at home. My aim is to get familiar with Linux. I've obtained some basic Linux skills (on Slackware) and i'm a very advanced Windows user. Are there any docs/howtos/manuals for advanced users trying Ubuntu as a first Linux? I don't want to read about how to set focus, etc. | 08:38 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, I need a folder outside a chroot to accessible inside a chroot. The normal way of doing that seems to be to mount the external (to the chroot) onto a folder inside using mount --bind | 08:39 |
| blades | Hey guy dont u think vista rocks | 08:39 |
| Carbonflux | I have not installed Vista yet blades | 08:39 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, Yes, you are correct. "it is possible to remount part of the file hierarchy somewhere else. The call is mount --bind olddir newdir" | 08:39 |
| Kevin` | I like ubuntu more then vista | 08:40 |
| seacat | devilsadvocate, from man mount ^^^^ | 08:40 |
| AnRkey | Carbonflux, it's driving me nuts | 08:40 |
| blades | I think ubuntu sucks like crap | 08:40 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, that isnt working. it says it cant find the listing on fstab and mtab, and refuses to do it. i tried that as root :\ | 08:40 |
| AnRkey | I think i might just right a small script to do it and put a shortcut on my desktop for it | 08:40 |
| JackPhil | wine-0.9.54 emulate emule 0.48a failed | 08:40 |
| JackPhil | any help? | 08:40 |
| AnRkey | it would be nice to automate it though | 08:41 |
| tokok | blades: vista software raid0 - 60 Mb/s, ubuntu md0 - 125Mb/s, read speed. whats crap? | 08:41 |
| AnRkey | thanks anyhoo Carbonflux | 08:41 |
| seacat | The entire file hierarchy including submounts is attached a second place using mount --rbind olddir newdir | 08:41 |
| blades | COMPIZ sucks WINDOWS aero roks | 08:41 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ smbclient -L localhost -U%" functions. But "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ smbclient -L Amilo7600; Password: ;session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" not. How can I get rid of this error message? | 08:42 |
| seacat | blades, What is Windows aero? | 08:42 |
| mkquist | blades: trolling are u? | 08:42 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, mount: can't find /media/extstorage/xyz in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab --- same with rbind | 08:42 |
| snorkel | blades is drunk | 08:42 |
| blades | IT is the awesome graphics features in vista | 08:42 |
| Carbonflux | AnRkey, you still here ? | 08:43 |
| devilsadvocate | seacat, guess i'll try adding to fstab and try | 08:43 |
| Carbonflux | AnRkey, open up synaptic package manager and search for autofs | 08:43 |
| seacat | "Note that the filesystem mount options will remain the same as those on the original mount point, and cannot be changed by passing the -o option along with --bind/--rbind." | 08:43 |
| blades | im dunk | 08:43 |
| mkquist | blades: sounds like it, won't be welcome here much I'm sure... But, fire away I guess... Or maybe the #windows channel is more your speed. You can add to the pointless chatter there. | 08:43 |
| AnRkey | Carbonflux, thanks | 08:43 |
| cwillu | <super> is the windows key right? | 08:44 |
| Carbonflux | hope it works :) | 08:44 |
| KemrinH | Blades, why have you become drunk? | 08:44 |
| snorkel | cwillu: yes | 08:44 |
| Carbonflux | yes cwillu | 08:44 |
| Carbonflux | <menu> is the other one | 08:44 |
| seacat | blades, Ok, thank you for the info. But, if you are drunk, it would be best to just lurk. | 08:44 |
| cwillu | I'm having difficulty getting any key bound to it | 08:44 |
| cwillu | I keep getting super+L, regardless of what key I press | 08:44 |
| cwillu | on three different machines :/ | 08:44 |
| KemrinH | Don't you know that typing while intoxicated is illegal? | 08:45 |
| GranitRock | Hello guys | 08:45 |
| tanner | KemrinH: ssshhh, don't give the prudes any more ideas on laws to pass.. | 08:45 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, heh, I don't have a clue, something must be overriding later in the chain I guess | 08:45 |
| mkquist | KemrinH: lol, like that line... | 08:45 |
| GranitRock | How can i install Ubuntu 7.10 in textmode from Live CD? | 08:45 |
| devilsadvocate | GranitRock, I'm not certain about it, but afaik that isnt possible | 08:45 |
| cwillu | GranitRock, how much time are you trying to save? | 08:46 |
| blades | hello recently i have experienced a few minor difficulties withe User Account Control on Windows Vista does anyone have and advice on what i should do? | 08:46 |
| cwillu | blades, wrong channel I think | 08:46 |
| snorkel | blades: goto windows channel | 08:46 |
| dgjones | blades, you need to join ##windows for windows problems | 08:46 |
| GranitRock | cwillu: what i'm trying to save? | 08:46 |
| cwillu | GranitRock, you can do it, but you'd need to be intimately familiar with how live cd's are created, how harddrives are laid out, etc | 08:47 |
| tokok | blades: try to open cmd and write "format c:" | 08:47 |
| seacat | GranitRock, You will need the alternate CD | 08:47 |
| Carbonflux | blades, ya and after that install Ubuntu | 08:47 |
| cwillu | GranitRock, i.e., if you have to ask, then you really want to get the alternate install cd | 08:47 |
| blades | what is format c | 08:47 |
| GranitRock | i know it | 08:47 |
| mkquist | well, at least he admits to being drunk... I guess we have all done silly things like that. | 08:47 |
| cwillu | tokok, none of that | 08:47 |
| cwillu | blades, go to ##windows please | 08:47 |
| tokok | blades: if that dosent work, load from ubuntu live cd and format drives with gparted | 08:47 |
| cwillu | blades, this isn't a vista support channel | 08:48 |
| GranitRock | but i want do it because i have a problem when try start Ubuntu in normal mode | 08:48 |
| blades | ok im formatting c now its at 5 percent | 08:48 |
| Carbonflux | !lart blades | 08:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lart blades - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:48 |
| Carbonflux | heh | 08:48 |
| blades | now its at 7 | 08:48 |
| dgjones | GranitRock, you'd be better downloading the alternate cd to install in text mode, that uses that as default | 08:48 |
| cwillu | aha. What's the problem you're having when you boot ubuntu? (won't have anything to do with vista access controls if ubuntu itself doesn't run) | 08:48 |
| dgjones | !alternate > GranitRock | 08:48 |
| blades | now its at 13 | 08:49 |
| snorkel | shut up blades | 08:49 |

| GranitRock | not loading | 08:49 |
| tokok | blades: well, if it isnt, i said use ubuntu live cd :) | 08:50 |
| Carbonflux | blades, that command is a basicly a universal fix for all windows related issues | 08:50 |
| GranitRock | i tryed rename it | 08:50 |
| GranitRock | to K19cupsys | 08:50 |
| seacat | !alternate | GranitRock | 08:50 |
| ubotu | GranitRock: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal | 08:50 |

| GranitRock | it's so difficult download alternative CD for me | 08:51 |

| GranitRock | i have integrated videocard | 08:53 |
| quux | brb | 08:53 |

| blades | 58 percent | 08:54 |
| GranitRock | i know about this channel | 08:54 |
| seacat | GranitRock, As to your original question, you might need to download the alternate ISO in order to complete the install. | 08:54 |
| GranitRock | yes | 08:55 |
| GranitRock | but i saw | 08:55 |
| seacat | GranitRock, And just stick with i386 | 08:55 |
| mkquist | btw, 'said this once before, but wth' blades is trolling both channels being insulting to both | 08:55 |
| GranitRock | that it's so difficult! | 08:55 |
| GranitRock | i tryed i386 | 08:55 |
| GranitRock | it's has this problem too | 08:55 |
| dgjones | !offtopic > blades | 08:56 |
| tokok | mkquist: does he saying compiz rules in windows channel? | 08:56 |
| Carbonflux | I have tried both on a amd 64 machine, the performance difference btw 64 and 32 bit are barely noticeable really | 08:56 |
| cwillu | BAAAAAH | 08:56 |
| seacat | mkquist, Thank you for the information, but we are more interested in Ubuntu here :) | 08:56 |
| Fart_ | hey there, I got ubuntu on IDE disc. Rest of the data is on a raid 0 - two SATA II discs. I cant find them, is there any utility or driver to make it working? | 08:56 |
| xzv | 8 kb/s internet speed is very slowly for downloading ISOs... | 08:56 |
| GranitRock | yes | 08:56 |
| mkquist | seacat: i know, just for the info... in case anyone baits | 08:56 |
| GranitRock | i agree with xzv | 08:56 |
| Carbonflux | still, I ended up installing the amd 64 build | 08:56 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, snorkel, Works fine, but the gconf setting for tab is case sensitive (despite what the description of the key says): it must be "Tab" | 08:57 |

| snorkel | welcome bahman ubuntu virgin | 08:59 |
| tokok | blades: something is wrong, problem should have been already fixed, i think the only way is to use special windows-on-HDD destroyer devices | 08:59 |
| bahman | Thanks snorkel | 08:59 |

| VvWolverinevV | hi, what's the difference between fuseblk and ntfs-3g?? | 09:00 |
| Ububegin | lets say I do export AXISCPP=/usr/local/axiscpp_deploy or sumtin... how do i check that these variable is set or not... | 09:00 |
| bahman | snorkel could you tell me which chat program is the best for IRC?! | 09:00 |
| cwillu | VvWolverinevV, ping | 09:00 |
| woodwizzle | I am trying to get a 3 monitor setup running. I have 2 going fine. I have the 3rd plugged into a PCI card and it isn't working | 09:00 |
| snorkel | bahman: i use xchat | 09:01 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, multiple physical cards is a pretty tricky, the hardware really needs to be known good | 09:01 |
| Carbonflux | ya, xchat is good | 09:01 |
| snorkel | bahman: check #ubunutu-bots | 09:01 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: the main card is a nvidia 8600gt. The other is also an nvidia card, not sure the exact model | 09:02 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, how does it die? | 09:02 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, pastebin me your xorg.conf | 09:02 |
| Carbonflux | woodwizzle, did you try using sudo nvidia-settings to generate a xorg.conf file ? | 09:02 |
| Ububegin | lets say I do [export AXISCPP=/usr/local/axiscpp_deploy] or sumtin... how do i check that these variable is set or not... | 09:02 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, both fairly recent though? | 09:02 |
| _ruben | Ububegin: echo $EXISCPP | 09:03 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: it doesn't die. It just doesn't get anything on that screen | 09:03 |
| _ruben | Ububegin: without the typos | 09:03 |
| VvWolverinevV | cwillu: do you know the difference between fuseblk and ntfs-3g? | 09:03 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: its not like a rivatnt or anyhing. | 09:03 |
| woodwizzle | Carbonflux: no i hadn't tried that | 09:03 |
| bahman | thanks snorkel, but how could I copy your name, ex. when I want to say it in any way?! | 09:04 |
| bahman | Carbonflux Thanks | 09:04 |
| cwillu | VvWolverinevV, off the top of my head, I believe fuseblk is the userspace filesystem api, which ntfs-3g (among other projects) uses so they don't have to mess around with kernel modules | 09:04 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: looks like itsa NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] | 09:04 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, k, get me that xorg.conf file | 09:04 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | 09:04 |

| Carbonflux | woodwizzle, the gui in ubuntu is bugged right now for setting up nvidia cards, it might be in the driver, not sure, need to use the nvidia-settings program or dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg or edit the file by hand | 09:05 |
| bahman | ChanServ thanks | 09:06 |
| Carbonflux | bahman, just for future reference, ChanServ is a bot | 09:06 |

| woodwizzle | Carbonflux: yeah its a strange usecase no doubt. But I had the card and I had the monitors so I figured why not =) | 09:09 |
| woodwizzle | I shuold point out that the 2 axillary monitors are EVGA meaning they support upto 1024x768 | 09:10 |
| Carbonflux | woodwizzle, did you google for it? I have seen a lot of threads about it in the ubuntu forums | 09:10 |
| Carbonflux | well, you might have detection problem | 09:10 |
| Carbonflux | for the horz and vert rates | 09:10 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, he's trying to get more than 2 displays though | 09:10 |
| Carbonflux | but there are ways to address that | 09:10 |
| cwillu | not sure if you got that | 09:10 |
| bahman | Carbonflux, snorkel and also Salaman thanks... could you tell me how could I copy your name here instead of type it?! | 09:10 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, ya thats what I mean, seems like more then a few people want to do it | 09:11 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, how much to you care about 3d accel? | 09:11 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, I know I have 2 on all my machines | 09:11 |
| woodwizzle | Carbonflux: No I didn't ...srry I know its bad ettiquite. | 09:11 |
| Carbonflux | heh | 09:11 |
| * cwillu has 5 monitors on his desk ;p | 09:11 | |
| Carbonflux | woodwizzle, well its better to ask a live person | 09:11 |
| _ruben | Ububegin: the echo will only work in the current shell .. if you'd add it to your .bashrc for example, it'll be available in all *new* bash login shells | 09:11 |
| snorkel | bahman: use the tab key | 09:11 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: I care deeply about 3D acceleration. But only on the primary monitor. The other 2 I won't be gaming with. Afterall its a 440mx =) | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, heh, well I just don't have enough monitors, i do have one machine with a 6150 on the mb and a 8600 in a pci express slot, I did research it and found a lot of threads about 3+ monitor issues | 09:12 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, ok, well, lets get a working config, we can fall back if 3d accel won't work | 09:12 |
| Ububegin | So I just type export $AXIS =/usr/local/axis ... in the bashrc file... | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | you can use twinview of you want 3D accel | 09:12 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, (this would be your cue to save a copy of the xorg.conf file somewhere :p) | 09:12 |
| Carbonflux | twinview works good with compiz | 09:12 |
| Ububegin | _ruben: tks dude, for the timely help | 09:13 |
| Carbonflux | bahman, your welcome :) | 09:13 |
| yokobr | hey guys, everytime that i run virtualbox, i have to open the terminal and do sudo chmod 666 /dev/vboxdrv. How can i make it auto? | 09:13 |
| _ruben | Ububegin: correct | 09:13 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: check! | 09:13 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, pastebin: lspci | grep -i vga | 09:14 |
| lollo | is this chat there's only 1 op ? Oo | 09:15 |
| lollo | even bot .. ? | 09:15 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, people don't stay in op mode | 09:16 |
| lollo | and if someone is a troll ? | 09:16 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, they only switch to it when they need to do something | 09:16 |
| lollo | how can u ban him ? | 09:16 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu, http://www.foresightlinux.com/paste/2547/ | 09:16 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, you are going to try it and find out right ? | 09:16 |
| cwillu | lollo, there's a magic word to get about 30 ops here in 5 seconds or less :p | 09:16 |
| lollo | lol no :D | 09:16 |
| PKdoR | how can I ad a font I downloaded from gnome-look? | 09:16 |
| bullgard4 | "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ smbclient -L localhost -U%" functions. But "detlef@Amilo7600:~$ smbclient -L Amilo7600; Password: ;session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" not. How can I get rid of this error message? | 09:17 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, if you want to troll go to #politics there are no ops there, only /ignore | 09:17 |
| lollo | nono i don't wanna troll but i noticed that there was only 1 op :s | 09:17 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, open an editor on your xorg.conf | 09:18 |
| lollo | carbon can u switch to op ? Oo | 09:18 |
| lousygarua | i installed kubuntu on virtualbox, but i can only run it at 800x600 resolution, and it doesn't seem to listen to the xorg.conf i configured for it :( can anyone help? | 09:18 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, find the three device sections | 09:18 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, its a freenode thing, people only op-up when they do something | 09:19 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, got all that? | 09:19 |
| rodafr | Hi. I'm having some problems with my wireless network interface. Can anyone help? | 09:19 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: check! | 09:19 |
| lollo | but if someone does something like flood they'll kik him ( i hope ) .. | 09:19 |
| jimcooncat | lousygarua: I haven't tried 'buntu in vituralbox, but I believe you have to install a helper app to add a graphics card emulator | 09:20 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, well, there is auto kicking for flooding | 09:20 |
| jimcooncat | lousygarua: that's what you do for winders in vb | 09:20 |
| lollo | oh okyz , thx carbon kiss | 09:20 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, the one with identifier "nVidia Corporation NVIDIA Default Card" | 09:20 |
| Carbonflux | :) | 09:20 |
| snorkel | does anybody recommend a good ubuntu blog to follow most of them suck | 09:20 |
| lousygarua | jimcooncat > hmm that makes sense i'll check out the vbox website. what's winders? | 09:20 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, change the BusID to "PCI:5:6:0" | 09:21 |
| bullgard4 | man smbclient writes: "Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log file. The log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the command line." What is the filename of this log in Ubuntu 7.10? | 09:21 |
| jimcooncat | lousygarua: sorry i meant windows | 09:21 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: Check. Thats the PCI card right? | 09:22 |
| cwillu | yes | 09:22 |
| lollo | does someone know a good race game against other players for ununtu ? | 09:22 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, and then in the ServerLayout section | 09:22 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, below Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" | 09:22 |
| lousygarua | jimcooncat winders sounds cooler than windows ;) | 09:22 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, add Screen 2 "Default Screen" RightOf "Screen1" | 09:23 |
| woodwizzle | lollo, penguin racer and torcs are the first 2 to come to mind, but I don't know if they are multiplayer | 09:23 |
| Carbonflux | lollo, there is a game called Torc's, its a car race thing, but really, Ubuntu is not much of a gamers platform, which is not to say it does not have them, but its not windows | 09:23 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, you _might_ need to enable Xinerama, but don't do it yet | 09:23 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: actually the pci monitor is the left most monitor | 09:23 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, :p | 09:23 |
| cwillu | don't get ahead of me :p | 09:23 |
| Carbonflux | AlienArena is a Quake III clone also | 09:23 |
| woodwizzle | the primary monitor is the center one | 09:23 |
| Carbonflux | that is multiplayer | 09:23 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, we'll worry about the orientations later :p | 09:23 |
| woodwizzle | ok | 09:23 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, are you talking from a different computeR? | 09:24 |
| devilsadvocate | Carbonflux, there are some really fun games on uuntu | 09:25 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: no I'm not :( | 09:25 |
| Carbonflux | ya, sorry I did not mean to imply there were not devilsadvocate :) | 09:25 |
| Carbonflux | there are a lot of them | 09:25 |
| Carbonflux | and you can use wine to play more | 09:25 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, how comfortable are you moving around in the command line? | 09:25 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: I've fairly comfortable. I've used gentoo for a few years =) | 09:26 |
| devilsadvocate | and Quake4 runs natively on linux :P | 09:26 |
| Carbonflux | :) | 09:26 |
| Carbonflux | yup | 09:26 |
| rodafr | hello | 09:26 |
| Carbonflux | I have tried it even | 09:26 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, oh goodie :) | 09:26 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, so you can find your way back if that breaks X? | 09:26 |
| Carbonflux | in fact, maybe I will try it on my amd 64 machine | 09:26 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: sure thing | 09:27 |
| Carbonflux | thanks for reminding me devilsadvocate :) | 09:27 |
| PKdoR | what VM software would you guys recommend for LNX? | 09:27 |
| tokok | PKdoR: god is only true answer to all your questions | 09:28 |
| PKdoR | jaja | 09:28 |
| cwillu | vmware, qemu, etc (presuming that LNX is linux and not some other unix'y thing) | 09:28 |
| PKdoR | no ithink its 42 or google | 09:28 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, so you don't think twinview is a good idea for a 3 monitor setup ? | 09:29 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, twinview won't work for a three monitor iirc | 09:29 |
| PKdoR | how about Virtualbox? I used that on windows and also VMware workstation/player | 09:29 |
| Carbonflux | ah ok | 09:29 |
| jimcooncat | lousygarua: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/13/installing-guest-additions-for-ubuntu-guests-in-virtualbox/ | 09:29 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, thanks I was curious | 09:29 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, it works by sharing the framebuffer of a single card | 09:29 |
| Carbonflux | right | 09:29 |
| Carbonflux | it works great for two | 09:30 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu, should I ctrl-alt-backspace now? | 09:30 |
| lousygarua | jimcooncat > cool thanks a lot! | 09:30 |
| Carbonflux | cwillu, with two xscreens you only get accel on the main one ? | 09:30 |
| Carbonflux | or three xscreens* | 09:30 |
| jimcooncat | lousygarua: interested in how it goes, buzz me if I'm still around please | 09:30 |
| woodwizzle | also I'm not against 3d accel on 3 screens. That would be tits! I'd prefer if all my windows wobbled. | 09:31 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, xinerama is generally unaccelerated | 09:31 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, yep, go ahead | 09:31 |
| cwillu | Carbonflux, there's a couple libs that can multiplex opengl (aka, provide glx) across multiple heads (even across the network) | 09:32 |
| cwillu | but it's not trivial to setup the last time I tried | 09:32 |
| hibbert | does anyone know if in ubuntu 8.04 the wlan drivers are already included???? | 09:32 |
| cwillu | ('trivial' in the sense of 'working without changing source code') | 09:32 |
| cwillu | hibbert, anything that was included in 7.10 will probably work in 8.04, plus a few more | 09:33 |
| Carbonflux | thanks for the info cwillu :) | 09:33 |
| hibbert | cwillu yes but before some weeks the drivers were not included so i ask if the are included now ;) | 09:33 |
| cwillu | hibbert, sorry, I don't understand | 09:34 |
| Flynsarmy | How can i revert my gcc4 to gcc3? | 09:35 |
| hibbert | i installed the beta of ubuntu 8.04 and my fritz wlan stick didnt work so i found out that the kernel module is not included atm .... now i wonder if its included now | 09:35 |
| cwillu | hibbert, ah | 09:35 |
| cwillu | hibbert, nothing you see in 8.04 is final yet, things are constantly breaking and in flux | 09:35 |
| cwillu | aka, don't write a review about 8.04, and don't trust any reviews you read | 09:36 |
| dgjones | hibbert, you might be able to find out if you ask in #ubuntu+1 thats where the testing queries about hardy are being asked | 09:36 |
| cwillu | I'm guessing woodwizzle's config isn't quite working yet :p | 09:37 |
| hibbert | ok thx | 09:37 |
| hibbert | bye | 09:37 |
| Erealz | those anyone use kismet | 09:38 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: no dice. My xorg didn't crash, but still no signal to that monitor. (flashing LED) | 09:39 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, just the one monitor? | 09:39 |
| cwillu | i.e., the others worked? | 09:40 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: Yeah, everything on the 8600gt is working like before | 09:40 |
| Flynsarmy | Anyone know how to get rid of gcc 4 and install 3? | 09:41 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, kill all the modelines and the sync/refresh lines from Generic Monitor, and in the "Default screen", delete the virtual line, and set the modes to "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" | 09:41 |
| tokok | Flynsarmy: use old distro | 09:41 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, and retry it | 09:41 |
| Flynsarmy | tokok: There's no way of doing it with apt? | 09:43 |
| seacat | apt-get remove gcc-4.1 ; apt-get install gcc-3.3 | 09:43 |
| Flynsarmy | seacat: Thanks | 09:43 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: Generic Monitor is the primary display. | 09:44 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, no | 09:44 |
| seacat | Flynsarmy, apt-get remove gcc-4.1 ; apt-get install gcc-3.3 | 09:44 |
| cwillu | I meant, the screen that's called "Default Screen" | 09:44 |
| seacat | NP | 09:44 |
| woodwizzle | oh ok, i getcha | 09:44 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, screen0 and screen1 are the working screens right now | 09:44 |
| Flynsarmy | seacat: I did that but now when i type 'gcc' i get: bash: /usr/bin/gcc: No such file or direcctory | 09:46 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: ok, ctrl alt backspace? | 09:46 |
| plectrum | hello, the notification area applet is shown at my second screen, but applets like pidgin or nm-applet are not available. Has anybody a solution? | 09:46 |
| cwillu | Flynsarmy, in synaptic, check the properties of gcc-3.3, and find out where it puts things | 09:46 |
| sgbirch | What is the difference an ubuntu server disk and the "Install a server" option on the alternate disk? | 09:46 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, give it a shot | 09:46 |
| cwillu | !server | 09:47 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 09:47 |
| x_ | i need help ... ... ... in BIOS , Num-Lock is on , but in ubuntu loading it is off , how i can turn it on automatically ?! is there some Command in terminal can do that ?! | 09:49 |
| cwillu | x_, there's a gnome option, give me a asec | 09:49 |
| x_ | ok :-) | 09:49 |
| cwillu | !numlock | 09:49 |
| ubotu | To enable Number Lock by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock | 09:49 |
| cwillu | there you go :p | 09:50 |
| x_ | thaaaanks :-) | 09:50 |
| woodwizzle | Still 2 outta 3 | 09:50 |
| woodwizzle | http://www.foresightlinux.org/paste/2549/ <-- my xorg.conf so far | 09:50 |
| Flynsarmy | cwillu: there is a /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 | 09:51 |
| cwillu | Flynsarmy, okay, try calling it that | 09:51 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, can you pastebin /var/log/xorg.log.0? | 09:53 |
| x_ | cwillu how i can edit /etc/X11/gdm/Init/Default ?! | 09:53 |

| lollo | i've not so much time to play | 09:54 |
| === Guest18265 is now known as stowaway | ||
| woodwizzle | cwillu: no such file :( | 09:54 |
| cwillu | gad0, ctrl+alt+backspace works, or switching to the vterm you used to run it and stopping it with ctrl+c, or opening a terminal and running killall Xorg | 09:54 |
| mavi- | gad0: ctrl-alt-backspace | 09:54 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, k, look around in that folder, it'll be some name like that | 09:55 |
| woodwizzle | ahh my bad | 09:55 |
| woodwizzle | found it | 09:55 |
| lollo | however, cwillu i run it with wine ? | 09:55 |
| gad0 | cwillu: thanks | 09:55 |
| cwillu | lollo, that's how I run it | 09:55 |
| lollo | okyz .. does it works well and clean ? | 09:55 |
| stowaway | gday.. does any1 know how i can get irc on my mythbuntu box? | 09:56 |
| Daviey | stowaway: what irc client? | 09:56 |
| stowaway | i dont know. whats a good 1? | 09:56 |
| magowan | im getting a missing operating system after installing ubuntu7.10. if anyone here has a few minutes to help me out please pm me | 09:56 |
| Daviey | stowaway: depends on your preference, mine is irssi - others is xchat.. what are you using now? | 09:57 |

| ubotu | lollo: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 09:57 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: http://www.foresightlinux.org/paste/2550/ | 09:57 |
| stowaway | im on a windows computer. mirc. got my mythbunu box next to me. Was thinking about xchat but it only had fedora linux 7 as a option. would that 1 work? | 09:57 |
| ganesh | package for anti-virus | 09:57 |
| lollo | thx cwillu kiss | 09:57 |
| stowaway | on mythbuntu | 09:57 |
| Daviey | stowaway: in the terminal type, sudo apt-get install xchat | 09:58 |
| dgjones | !virus | ganesh | 09:58 |
| ubotu | ganesh: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 09:58 |
| chimx | Hey guys, i have kind of a silly question. | 09:58 |
| Daviey | chimx: best not ask it then | 09:58 |
| stowaway | sweet thanks | 09:58 |
| chimx | ABC and Fox use some proprietary video client for streaming TV shows over the internet | 09:58 |
| chimx | any work around for that in linux | 09:59 |
| chimx | short of using windows firefox/flash through wine? | 09:59 |
| chimx | cause that chugs out with the video | 09:59 |
| cwillu | chimx, plain old flash doesn't work? | 09:59 |
| ganesh | ubotu, i want some anti-virus package for linux & to test it in my pc | 09:59 |
| chimx | no | 09:59 |
| chimx | it isn't a flash player | 09:59 |
| cwillu | chimx, if it's just blocking on the user-agent, install the user-agent-switcher plugin for firefox | 09:59 |
| stowaway2 | wow that was too easy | 10:00 |
| stowaway2 | thanks :) | 10:00 |
| magowan | i just installed ubuntu7.10. i chose to format over vista, but after ubuntu installs and i reboot i get a missing operating system message. any ideas on how to solve this? | 10:00 |
| dgjones | ganesh, ubotu is a bot, but you could look at clamav (thats the only one i can remember at the minute) | 10:00 |
| chimx | cwillu: i'll give it a shot, but i'm pessimistic... :P | 10:00 |
| ganesh | dgjones, thanks, if you know any please | 10:00 |
| stowaway2 | is there an adp-get command for adobe reader? | 10:01 |
| woodwizzle | stowaway2 sudo apt-get install evince | 10:02 |
| plectrum | the notification area applet is shown on screen1, but applets like pidgin or nm-applet are not available | 10:02 |
| * cwillu can't imagine anybody actually _wanting_ to view fox material :p | 10:02 | |
| overcluckerLIMBO | ganesh: sudo apt-get install clamav | 10:02 |
| ganesh | overcluckerLIMBO, ok thanks | 10:02 |
| stowaway2 | where do i find all these commands on the net? do they have them on the proggies webpages or whatever? | 10:03 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: I've given up TV. One of these monitors I'm hooking up is gonna stream Miro to me | 10:03 |
| ganesh | overcluckerLIMBO, do you know the procedure how to test it | 10:03 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, line 370 of the xorg paste | 10:03 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: Ah, I need the legacy driver | 10:04 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | ganesh: i never bothered to try, but the first thing i do when i install a new package is reading the man page | 10:04 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, but I'm not sure if you can have both at the same time | 10:04 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | man clamav | 10:05 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, and I don't know whether the nv driver will get along with the nvidia driver, even though they're not talking to the same cards | 10:05 |
| chimx | hmm. it's trying to get me to re-d/l flash when i pretend to be IE cwillu | 10:05 |
| chimx | :/ | 10:05 |
| chimx | windows flash | 10:05 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, theoretically, seperate pci devices are supposed to work perfectly fine, but most video drivers don't agree :p | 10:05 |
| ganesh | overcluckerLIMBO, afterinstalling the pkg i ran the command clamscan,it is not saying anything thatsy im asking wat to do | 10:05 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: well all I can do is try | 10:06 |
| cwillu | chimx, what about pretending to be windows firefox? | 10:06 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, try switching it to the nv driver just for that card | 10:06 |
| chimx | for that propietary video software i was talking about | 10:06 |
| cwillu | (the boardname is already nv, just change the driver) | 10:06 |
| chimx | you suggested user-agent-switcher | 10:06 |
| cwillu | chimx, what's the url? | 10:06 |
| chimx | abc.go.com | 10:06 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: wouldn't it be better to see if I can install the legacy drivers alongside the regular drivers? | 10:07 |
| chimx | it looks like it is semi-flash based, but it won't let non windows/mac access it | 10:07 |
| chimx | I think fox uses it too | 10:07 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, I'd try the open driver first, just because I have no idea how you'd specify a different nvidia driver | 10:07 |
| chimx | its a shame cause most TV stations are streaming video online now and making it nearly impossible for linux folk to us | 10:07 |
| chimx | as far as i can figure | 10:07 |
| L3ttuc3 | how do i open another session inside a window, on the same desktop? | 10:07 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: You're right. Synaptic says I must first remove the original driver | 10:08 |
| woodwizzle | ok, nv it is | 10:08 |
| cwillu | chimx, I can't even get the episodes, it blocks me because I'm in canada | 10:08 |
| chimx | oh | 10:08 |
| chimx | lol | 10:08 |
| chimx | :P | 10:08 |
| chimx | torrents it is! | 10:08 |
| overcluckerLIMBO | ganesh: what does the manual say to do? | 10:08 |

| cwillu | Ne0, google, and look for whatever you find in add/remove or administration | synaptic | 10:11 |
| woodwizzle | nothing on that screen. But the LED is ON not blinking. | 10:11 |

| turkuamk | It gives me the option to chose the applications I want to show up to the menu itself, but nothing about the icons. | 10:11 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, lets see the log | 10:11 |
| cwillu | turkuamk, oh, you just don't want the icons to show? | 10:12 |
| Micksa | wheee | 10:12 |

| cwillu | stowaway, look at accessories | text editor, or right click the panel, hit add applet, and add the stickynotes applet | 10:15 |
| ganesh | _ruben, k thanks | 10:16 |

| Erik1 | Not = then | 10:19 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: Yeah, nothing on that screen. The LED is on though and Xorg lets me move my mouse right of the rightmost screen (into the area that I cannot see I imagine) so X knows about the screen, but won't lemme see it | 10:19 |

| bullgard4 | man smbclient writes: "Most diagnostics issued by the client are logged in a specified log file. The log file name is specified at compile time, but may be overridden on the command line." What is the filename of this log in Ubuntu 7.10? | 10:20 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, you're still running under that config right now? | 10:20 |
| cwillu | bullgard4, look at /etc/samba/smb.conf | 10:21 |
| cwillu | bullgard4, I think they go into various places under /var/log/smb | 10:21 |

| woodwizzle | cwillu: yup | 10:22 |

| SweetFairy | is there a way to avoid the writing of the password here in ubuntu ? | 10:40 |
| woodwizzle | switching the 2 monitors makes all 3 work | 10:41 |
| cwillu | lol | 10:41 |
| bazhang | not a very good idea SweetFairy | 10:41 |
| SweetFairy | why ? | 10:41 |
| cwillu | SweetFairy, you can make it automatically log in, and it's possible to make the password prompts a click through, but you really want to have a good reason | 10:41 |
| bazhang | unless you want to join a botnet ;] | 10:41 |
| tanner | SweetFairy: not having a password leaves your system very vulnerable | 10:41 |
| woodwizzle | however the monitor that is plugged into the PCI card doesn't have a background or anything. It is set as the rightmost monitor but it has nothing more than a default X pointer. | 10:41 |
| cwillu | tanner, not quite what it would imply | 10:41 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, probably need to run gnome on it seperately | 10:42 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, DISPLAY=:0.2 gnome-panel & nautilus & | 10:42 |
| SweetFairy | ok thx, but ... for ubuntu i need any antivirus or firewall ? | 10:42 |
| BodOmLaW | for a partition to exchange between linux and xp i should use fat32 right? | 10:42 |
| cwillu | SweetFairy, not really | 10:42 |
| SweetFairy | i'll keep my password :P | 10:42 |
| Erik1 | why is ubuntu so much smaller (install cd) and quicker to install than debian ? | 10:42 |
| BodOmLaW | should i mount it as dos or windows or not at all? | 10:42 |

| BodOmLaW | ??? | 10:43 |
| woodwizzle | and the monitor that is now plclear | 10:43 |
| bazhang | Erik1: just wait for the updates ;] | 10:43 |

| BodOmLaW | quick help here? | 10:43 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, fat32 | 10:43 |
| BodOmLaW | should i mount it as dos or windows or not at all? | 10:43 |
| apatheticus | mount what? | 10:43 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, you can get an ext2 driver for windows, but I wouldn't really recommend it | 10:43 |
| Erik1 | bazhang: oh... the install has a tail ? | 10:44 |
| Carbonflux | woodwizzle, did you take a look at your /var/logs/Xorg.0.log file to see what is being detected etc ? | 10:44 |
| SweetFairy | ok thx :O | 10:44 |
| bazhang | BodOmLaW: he just told you | 10:44 |
| BodOmLaW | when i install ubunti should i mount the fat32 drive | 10:44 |

| BodOmLaW | ? | 10:44 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, bah | 10:44 |
| Erik1 | ok | 10:44 |
| SweetFairy | i don't need antivir and firewall YEAHH | 10:44 |
| BodOmLaW | no? | 10:44 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, you want to be able to access the windows files? | 10:44 |

| misslissa | dont give away passwords?? | 10:51 |
| Svish | isnt that kind of secure? | 10:51 |
| rsk | cause it's secure? | 10:51 |
| cwillu | rsk, turning off passwords in ssh, maybe (public keys), but don't turn off ssh if you're managing a server | 10:51 |
| bazhang | heh | 10:51 |

| Svish | I thought ssh was the secure way to communicate with your computer... | 10:51 |
| BodOmLaW | i can install xp on my fake raid drive with its raid after ubuntu right? | 10:51 |
| rsk | but it's more secure to have it turned of | 10:51 |
| dbmoodb | how does one in ubuntu join a domain easily - are their gui tools in gutsy ? | 10:51 |
| cwillu | Svish, passwords are the weak link; better to use ssh-keygen and company to log in, but ya | 10:51 |
| dbmoodb | -friend wants to use ubuntu in a domain | 10:51 |
| cwillu | !domain | 10:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about domain - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:51 |

| cwillu | lol | 10:52 |
| BodOmLaW | i can install xp on my fake raid drive with its raid after ubuntu right? | 10:52 |
| dbmoodb | domain ? | 10:52 |
| dbmoodb | a windows domain | 10:52 |
| dbmoodb | oh thanks didn't see the second url | 10:52 |
| cwillu | dbmoodb, ya, sorry; couldn't remember the ubotu keyword | 10:53 |
| dbmoodb | seems a bit dated | 10:53 |
| cwillu | dbmoodb, doubt much has changed | 10:53 |
| dbmoodb | for a domain - like he is joining a domain with windows servers | 10:53 |
| cwillu | dbmoodb, I don't think there's a gui for it in straight ubuntu yet | 10:53 |
| BodOmLaW | why the FUCK deos my formatting keep failing? | 10:53 |
| dbmoodb | k | 10:53 |
| bazhang | language BodOmLaW | 10:54 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, language, but are you resizing or formatting? | 10:54 |
| Andycass1 | How to decrease samba mount timout when i boot? | 10:54 |
| BodOmLaW | im trying to install the os with dmraid | 10:54 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, there's a tonne of options under man samba, man mount.smb, and man mount.cifs | 10:54 |
| BodOmLaW | i want to partition it | 10:54 |
| BodOmLaW | when i go to install it | 10:54 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, but you aren't resizing an existing partition are you? | 10:54 |
| BodOmLaW | its says it faild | 10:54 |
| BodOmLaW | no | 10:54 |
| cwillu | k | 10:54 |
| bazhang | this is xp BodOmLaW? | 10:54 |
| BodOmLaW | ubuntu | 10:55 |
| cwillu | bazhang, (no existing partitions) | 10:55 |
| BodOmLaW | no | 10:55 |
| BodOmLaW | thats what im trying to do | 10:55 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: give me some basic guideline | 10:55 |
| woodwizzle | if xrandr says the max resolution is 640x480 does that mean the max resolution is 640x480 | 10:55 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, you could try adding the mode via xrandr; I can never remember the commands though | 10:55 |
| BodOmLaW | i want to install xp after | 10:56 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, something like you add the mode to the output, and then you set the output to that mode | 10:56 |
| BodOmLaW | it works when i try without dmraid | 10:56 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, are you mounting it as cifs of smb? | 10:56 |
| BodOmLaW | but that is useless for my situation | 10:56 |
| becky | morning | 10:56 |
| BodOmLaW | ??? | 10:57 |
| cwillu | Andycass1? | 10:57 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: cifs | 10:57 |
| cwillu | k | 10:57 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: How did you get 5 monitors? | 10:57 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, not in any conventional way | 10:57 |
| cwillu | you might say I cheated :p | 10:57 |
| BodOmLaW | anyone??? | 10:58 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, I've gotten 4 radeon cards to coexist (1024x800 on each head, 8 heads) | 10:58 |
| BodOmLaW | forget it | 10:58 |
| cwillu | on my main setup, it's actually spread across different machines | 10:58 |
| BodOmLaW | ill wait till morning | 10:58 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, ya, try again later, doesn't sound like any dmraid gurus are on | 10:58 |
| woodwizzle | cwillu: damn, with ati no less | 10:58 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, might try asking casually in #ubuntu-offtopic though | 10:58 |
| cwillu | woodwizzle, ati is easier for this sort of thing I've found | 10:59 |
| BodOmLaW | goddamn ive been on it all night | 10:59 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, realizing of course that there's only a few dm gurus, and they need to rest about a week between troubleshooting sessions :p | 10:59 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 10:59 |
| BodOmLaW | gnight | 10:59 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, I'm thinking that you need to do the partitioning completely seperate from the install wizards, but that's just a shot in the dark | 11:00 |
| BodOmLaW | if you talk to one | 11:00 |
| becky | does anyone have ubuntu installed on a dell XPS i do , and all seems fine apart form it seems to handle the sound hardware incorrectly i cant tell you what it does wrong but it sounds wrong , anyone? | 11:00 |
| BodOmLaW | get them to pm me please | 11:00 |
| cwillu | lol | 11:00 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, what's the exact problem you're trying to get around? | 11:00 |
| BodOmLaW | this is outrageous | 11:00 |
| BodOmLaW | g'night | 11:00 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW,um | 11:00 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, dmraid is a hack job to begin with; it's just about the worst possible raid setup | 11:01 |
| BodOmLaW | what would you suggest | 11:01 |
| BodOmLaW | goodthing i turned my monitor back on | 11:01 |
| cwillu | well, I'm not partial to raid in the first place (I'd prefer to put the second drive in an external enclosure | 11:01 |
| cwillu | lol | 11:01 |
| cwillu | (and rsync it nightly) | 11:01 |
| BodOmLaW | im for raid 0 | 11:01 |
| bazhang | via cronjob? | 11:02 |
| BodOmLaW | combining two | 11:02 |
| cwillu | bazhang, usually | 11:02 |
| BodOmLaW | not backups | 11:02 |
| bazhang | thanks cwillu | 11:02 |
| cwillu | if you _have_ to run windows from the same drives, I'd recommend an actual bios level raid | 11:02 |
| BodOmLaW | i have it | 11:02 |
| cwillu | if you don't have the money, then dmraid is probably your only solution, but it's ungly | 11:02 |
| BodOmLaW | but ubuntu deosnt do it? | 11:02 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, ? | 11:02 |
| Zeroclo | halo | 11:02 |
| chrischie | hi | 11:02 |
| phiqtion | !kde | 11:02 |
| ubotu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 11:02 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, it does it, but it's called fakeraid for a reason | 11:02 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, the chipset provides instructions which make implementing a raid easy for the os, but it doesn't actually implement it | 11:03 |
| Decinoge | uuuh | 11:03 |
| Decinoge | i could have the nick of Nubuland | 11:03 |
| Decinoge | that would be suitable | 11:03 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, this leaves you vulnerable to software issues affecting the raid at what should be a hardware level | 11:03 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, hmm | 11:04 |
| cwillu | yuo just want it for performance? | 11:04 |
| BodOmLaW | so what are you saying | 11:04 |
| BodOmLaW | ya to begin with | 11:04 |
| patto | Zdar | 11:04 |
| BodOmLaW | but now i dont want to oses with 250gb each | 11:04 |
| BodOmLaW | i want about 400 for linux | 11:04 |
| L3ttuc3 | is that the normal behaviour? a very limited user inside an xnest session with no administrative rights can use the network manager applet to take down my network? | 11:04 |
| BodOmLaW | then whatever is left for the xp | 11:04 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, I'm not sure if you can run a drive only partially raided, (but assuming not, then do you have an extra drive...) but you could run a seperate partition non-raided just for the base install | 11:05 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: sorry, well im trying to decrease the timout when the cifs cant find the mount point | 11:05 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: at the boot time... | 11:05 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, back up :p | 11:05 |
| BodOmLaW | I dont understand? | 11:05 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, you're trying to make it not take a long time to boot, right? | 11:05 |
| Totti | русские есть? | 11:05 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: yes | 11:05 |
| BodOmLaW | implement raid after installing on one disk? | 11:05 |
| tokok | Totti: #ubuntu-ru | 11:05 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, load ubuntu onto a small partition (or a cheap drive), and set the raid up after | 11:05 |
| cwillu | on the other drives | 11:06 |
| BodOmLaW | then copy it? | 11:06 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, thinking | 11:06 |
| Totti | #ubuntu-ru | 11:06 |
| Totti | Чорт | 11:06 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, you're mounting in fstab correct? | 11:06 |
| BodOmLaW | usb drive work? | 11:06 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, can you pastebin me your fstab? | 11:07 |
| tokok | Totti: /join #ubuntu-ru | 11:07 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, probably | 11:07 |
| BodOmLaW | hmm | 11:07 |
| Totti | tokok Thanks | 11:07 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, I'm not sure how grub will react, but something along those lines might get you something vaguely working | 11:07 |
| BodOmLaW | how would i copy it after? | 11:07 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, just cp -ax, and rerun the grub junk | 11:08 |
| BodOmLaW | ??? | 11:08 |
| _Roman | I am using Ubuntu Server 7.10, there is no color schemes for vim (no /usr/share/vim/vim71/colors directory), is there another package I need to install to get the color schemes? | 11:08 |
| Xabstract | hey all, what's your opinion on installing ubuntu on a box that has windows already? what software do you concord on? | 11:08 |
| BodOmLaW | that code deos what? | 11:08 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, man cp | 11:08 |
| cwillu | BodOmLaW, -a is recursive with sane defaults, and -x tells it not stop whenever it moves to a different mount (such as /dev, /media/disk/, etc) | 11:09 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, ? | 11:09 |
| BodOmLaW | hmm its like 6am | 11:09 |
| BodOmLaW | im going to bed | 11:09 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: ehh, sorry not really | 11:09 |
| BodOmLaW | thanks | 11:09 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: because i cant get my network to function | 11:09 |
| BodOmLaW | ill be on at like 4pm | 11:09 |
| BodOmLaW | or earlier | 11:10 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: hold on ill see what i can do | 11:10 |
| BodOmLaW | gnight | 11:10 |
| bazhang | we shall await you ;] | 11:10 |
| BodOmLaW | lol | 11:10 |
| StrangeCharm | whenever i get to the partitioning step using the alt disk, it seems to either obtain info from somewhere, or guess what raid arrays i want, and and i can't delete them. what's it doing? | 11:10 |
| stowaway2 | ive mounted my ntfs drive to my mythubuntu box.. just wondering how i share it so i can access the files on my other box | 11:13 |
| Andycass1 | My network doesnt want to assign me a ipv4 address, what could be the problem? When i try to ping my gateway i get "Network unreachable" | 11:14 |
| Salaman | Andycass1 : ifconfig -a | 11:15 |
| fiton | sellyana | 11:16 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, try editing /etc/init.d/rc, look for CONCURRENCY=none, and change it to shell | 11:17 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, are you booting into a full gnome session? | 11:18 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: yes, currently im at the bootscreen waiting for the mountings.... heh | 11:18 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: ill see the syslog for some errors first | 11:18 |
| shade052__ | cwillu: why editing the .rc file? | 11:19 |
| cwillu | shade052__, it'll tell it to run tasks in parallel. The benefit here being that it won't force the boot process to hang on hung mounts iirc | 11:20 |
| cwillu | shade052__, Andycass1 there's also a mount option (-F), but I don't know how to apply that to mount in the fstab file, other than changing the scripts | 11:21 |

| shade052__ | cwillu:oops | 11:22 |
| segagman | <buzzed sorry all | 11:22 |
| cwillu | shade052__, it makes it so that his computer doesn't hang for a long time while it waits for network connections to time out that he may not care about at the time (think booting a laptop that'll connect to a home server if possible) | 11:23 |
| cwillu | that said | 11:23 |

| cwillu | Andycass1, is this a server? if it's a desktop, any chance you could just use gnome's vfs to connect to servers? | 11:23 |
| segagman | is there an index service for book mark in a gui user frindly | 11:23 |

| lollo | and quit them ... | 11:26 |
| adobongkangkong | <lollo> : alt f2 then type "xkill" | 11:26 |
| segagman | old apps do fine | 11:26 |
| cwillu | lollo, hitting the close button should signal gnome to kill it after a few seconds, otherwise, xkill will do the trick (among other ways) | 11:26 |
| segagman | dont fix whats broken | 11:26 |

| Seveas | lollo, click on the xchat window with the X | 11:31 |

| aladdinsane | adobongkangkong, i have it installed, but cant figure out how to get auto-complete to work, don't think its possible | 11:32 |
| Andycass1 | cwillu: I fixed it, /etc/networking/interfaces had a nice config but network manager had set some freaky ip "10.xx.xx.xx" and when i replaced that it started working again | 11:32 |
| adobongkangkong | <lollo> : you wait until your mouse cursoe becomes "x" then you choose what window to close by clicking it.. then you wait if it closes.. | 11:32 |
| Andycass1 | Does network manager have some other config file where it reads the ip's ? | 11:32 |
| _mug | is there an easy way to create a crypted directory? it should be easy to backup an i want to be able to mount it in windows and linux. PLUS :) ubuntu 15.08 should be able to mount/decrypt it :) | 11:32 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, heh; that's a private ip range (like 192.168.x.x) | 11:32 |
| cwillu | weird | 11:32 |
| Seveas | Andycass1, it could have received that ip via dhcp :) | 11:32 |
| segagman | Ok I'm sorry for thinking that people are objective. | 11:32 |
| cwillu | Andycass1, yep, I think it's /etc/Networking (look for the capital letter) | 11:32 |

| _mug | Mr-LonelY: everytime a spcific user logs in or every time you start your machine? | 11:33 |
| lollo | ok thx ! so if a big program like a game blocks the whole system, if i type alt+f2 this command is like task manager, so it has the priority and opens itself ? | 11:33 |
| Andycass1 | Seveas: I disabled roaming mode | 11:33 |
| Andycass1 | Seveas: It was as if it was set by hand | 11:33 |
| Paolinho | aladdinsane, quanta should | 11:34 |

| Leggendino | can somebody help me with cpu frequency scaling? | 11:57 |
| Myiasia | Ah, yay. 1+1 really did equal 2. XD | 12:00 |
| jcarlos21br | Bom diaa!!! | 12:00 |
| Myiasia | Found my way here from a single line in the forums I was looking at, "and if you want live help feel free to come to the irc channel on freenode" - "uncommon" sense told me to try #Ubuntu, so here I am. :) | 12:01 |
| Myiasia | And what I'm looking for is.. well, a way to upgrade from the generic i386 build to an i686 build, preferably geared towards my PIII Tualatin 1.2GHz, here. It's old, and I want to squeeze everything I can out of it without having to deal with Gentoo again. :p | 12:03 |
| === _henroc is now known as henroc | ||
| Myiasia | Can anyone, by chance, help me with that? :) | 12:03 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ are you using the linux-generic kernel or the linux-386 one? | 12:04 |
| cpk1 | guys I have a serious problem. some of my key type out two different keys each time I press it and I have no clue what happened | 12:04 |
| Myiasia | Generic, indeed. :) | 12:04 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ well thats optimised for 586/686 | 12:05 |
| Toma- | are you using gnome? | 12:05 |
| Myiasia | Gentoo left a nasty taste in my mouth, so.. :p | 12:05 |
| Myiasia | Yup. | 12:05 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ might want to try a lighter DE like XFCE or fluxbox. gnome is fat and bloaty and you wont get much difference unless you change DE | 12:06 |
| Myiasia | Oh, huh.. I thought the generic kernel was i386. At least, that's what the package manager would lead me to believe. | 12:06 |
| Slart | Myiasia: what's the goal here.. if you want a fast enviroment, try xfce or something simila | 12:06 |
| Toma- | cpk1➜ are you using the right keyboard map? | 12:06 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ sadly mistaken | 12:06 |
| Slart | Myiasia: try uname -a.. what does it say at the end? | 12:06 |
| Myiasia | Slart: Well, if the code is already optimized for i686, then there's nothing for me to worry about. :) | 12:07 |
| Myiasia | Dur.. can't believe I forgot about uname. | 12:07 |
| Myiasia | That's what I get for being a blonde. XP | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Myiasia define optimsed for i686 | 12:07 |
| Slart | Myiasia: if you really want to squeeze those last drops out I'd suggest compiling your own kernel.. removing stuff you don't need etc | 12:07 |
| Myiasia | i686, sure enough. | 12:08 |
| Slart | Myiasia: but then you're back in the gentoo-swamp =) | 12:08 |
| * cwillu slaps Slart for suggesting such sillyness :p | 12:08 | |
| Toma- | yeh, dont go compiling kernels. | 12:08 |
| Myiasia | hehe | 12:08 |
| * cwillu hides his 2.6.24-ck build behind his back | 12:08 | |
| * Slart puts up a small sign pointing to the words "last drops" | 12:08 | |
| Andycass1 | where does route keep its settings? | 12:08 |
| * ikonia requests people stop using "/me commands" in a busy channel | 12:09 | |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ what are you using the machine for? | 12:09 |
| cwillu | honestly, the scheduler is sooooo much better, I'm still amazed ubuntu never went with it a year ago | 12:09 |
| cpk1 | Toma-: I just came back into my room and wanted to shutdown my server and now it takes me 1 minute to type anything, only thing that might have happened is my keyboard got mashed by someone | 12:09 |
| Myiasia | One of my friends got me hooked on Linux back in '03, and since then, I've played with .. gods, 7 different flavors. | 12:09 |
| cwillu | but it's in hardy courtesy of mainline, so nevermind :p | 12:09 |
| Toma- | cpk1➜ ah right. | 12:09 |
| Myiasia | So far, Ubuntu is my favorite, and I've only been toying with it for about 6 months, now. :p | 12:10 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ what are you using the machine for? | 12:10 |
| cpk1 | whoa | 12:10 |
| cpk1 | it started working | 12:10 |
| * cpk1 scratches head | 12:10 | |
| Toma- | cpk1➜ i yelled at it from here. | 12:10 |
| Myiasia | Toma-: I'm actually using it as a secondary machine to my primary.... which.. has a nasty virus, currently. Yay Winblows. | 12:10 |
| Toma- | :) | 12:10 |
| dorothygale | hi all... this is probably an easy question... | 12:10 |
| cpk1 | I was about to say its quite humorous because I have to type out all this gibberish and then go back and delete the inerrant words | 12:10 |
| * syc_ off | 12:10 | |
| cpk1 | Toma-: thank you for the power of the shout =) | 12:11 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ so general chat/web/email/music/videos? | 12:11 |
| cpk1 | I have no clue why it was doing that | 12:11 |
| dorothygale | I have a server (Compaq Proliant 3000) running Ubuntu Server... | 12:11 |
| cpk1 | or how/why it stopped | 12:11 |
| ikonia | dorothygale: ok | 12:11 |
| dorothygale | it's headless | 12:11 |
| Myiasia | And some minor gaming. Most intense game I run is UT2004, and it runs natively in Linux, so.. | 12:11 |
| cpk1 | voodoo programming... | 12:11 |
| ikonia | cpk1: ok - we get it | 12:11 |
| dorothygale | anyway I have a MacBook and I want to connect to it so i can re-install it with Ubuntu Media Server | 12:12 |

| mopflite | Myiasia: fluxbox is good, and has a light footprint too - ideal for running on older machines | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: sudo route del $ipaddress | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: sudo route del $ipaddress -gw $gateway | 12:13 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: yes, but I keep getting unknown host and "siocdelrt - no process" | 12:13 |
| Myiasia | Simple as an apt-get install fluxbox, I take it? :) | 12:13 |
| mopflite | I ran blackbox for several years, fluxbox is heavily based on blackbox but somewhat enhanhced | 12:13 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: show me the outpue of netstat -rn in a pastebin and then the command you are using to delete the route ? | 12:13 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: yes | 12:13 |
| Toma- | dorothygale➜ headless you say? | 12:13 |
| dorothygale | yes | 12:13 |
| dorothygale | no monitor | 12:13 |

| Cheaziz | Greetings room! | 12:14 |
| Cheaziz | I am back... | 12:14 |
| dorothygale | I do have a crossover cable | 12:14 |
| sybariten | anyone here running putty --> ubuntu --> GNU Screen --> [some messenger or IRC] regularly?? i want to compare locales/character problems...... | 12:14 |
| Myiasia | And, assuming Ubuntu works as other builds, it's just a matter of selecting the session type at login. | 12:14 |
| ikonia | dorothygale: you need an remoate access card (drac , ilo, gsp, LOM) | 12:14 |
| Toma- | dorothygale➜ i dont think its possible... not sure if the ubuntu-server disks starts a ssh session for install | 12:14 |
| ikonia | sybariten yup on it now | 12:14 |
| Cheaziz | Can anyone tell me why my Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) keeps hanging whenever I run Rhythmbox? | 12:14 |
| dorothygale | ssh is installed Toma | 12:14 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ you got it | 12:14 |
| ikonia | dorothygale do you have a remote access card | 12:14 |
| dorothygale | I installed it before I forgot the admin username and password | 12:14 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: route log http://andycas.pri.ee/files/route | 12:15 |
| Cheaziz | Oh, also when I run Pidgin the same occurs.. It hangs completely! | 12:15 |
| Toma- | dorothygale➜ thats not soing to help sadly | 12:15 |
| dorothygale | probably not ikonia | 12:15 |
| Toma- | dorothygale➜ youll need to reinstall | 12:15 |
| dorothygale | Toma I know this | 12:15 |
| dorothygale | this is what I want to do see | 12:15 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: you might also want to apt-get install fluxconf which is an easy configuration tool - fluxbox is a little non-intuitive to configure for a newcomer, and iirc the standard ubuntu packaged version doesn't come with much in the way of a pre-written configuration file | 12:15 |
| Myiasia | Excellent. Installed and ready to go, then. Any surprises I should be aware of? IE; will I get lost in it after using only gnome/KDE all this time? :p | 12:15 |
| dorothygale | but I need to connect to this yoke | 12:15 |
| === apatheticus is now known as apathetic- | ||

| Myiasia | Guess so! :p | 12:16 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: thats your default route your trying to remove | 12:16 |
| ikonia | sybariten, no, sorry. UK | 12:16 |
| ikonia | dorothygale if you want to re-install ubuntu on a headless machine you will need a remote access card | 12:16 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: it's much more minimalist than either KDE or gnome, and as a result much faster | 12:16 |
| * Myiasia nods understandingly. | 12:16 | |
| mopflite | let me see if I still have any screenshots from my blackbox days | 12:16 |
| serenityUK | Myiasia, you will get a suprise at the loading time when you log in lol... bam it's there | 12:16 |
| mopflite | serenityUK: yes, I liked that about it too | 12:16 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: what about that 169.254.0.0? Its just that everytime i restart my network interfaces i get "SIOCCADDRT: File Exists Failed to bring up eth0." | 12:17 |
| sybariten | ikonia: OK, well, i even have curses problems and that has nothing to do with countries ofcourse.... i have two servers, one old and one new, am migrating to the new. The old one has a working relationship with putty... i get swedish characters in both the normal shell and under screen, and centerICQ looks allright | 12:17 |
| dorothygale | ikonia: so ethernet won't do this for me? | 12:17 |
| Myiasia | Well.. gnome is almost instant.. something like a 2-second wait even on this old '99 model 'puter. | 12:17 |
| Toma- | dorothygale➜ theres no way to get access to a headless box that youve forgotten the password for. | 12:17 |
| ikonia | sybariten UTF8 = hassle | 12:17 |
| Myiasia | But faster is always better. | 12:17 |
| ikonia | dorothygale no | 12:17 |
| dorothygale | can't do some terminal install? | 12:17 |
| Myiasia | ... unless it comes to crashing. | 12:17 |
| dorothygale | lemmie take a look at the back of it... | 12:17 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: http://www.yoyo.org/~anthony/newbbox.png | 12:18 |
| sybariten | ikonia: so i've heard.... (except from every *nix guy who praises it...) but i actually dont think i am using UTF in any steps. Putty for instance is set for ISO8859 Latin-1, in both sessions | 12:18 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ if you want, i can get you using e17 | 12:18 |
| ikonia | Andycass1 try this "sudo route del -net 192.168.1.0 gw 0.0.0.0 | 12:19 |
| Myiasia | Hmm... menus would actually be helpful. I'm not quite THAT keen on being minimalistic. XD | 12:19 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ http://members.iinet.net.au/~haste/e17/fireball13.png | 12:19 |
| Toma- | (e17) | 12:19 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: you've got me thinking now, I might install and try enlightenment | 12:19 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: menus are possible and very configurable | 12:19 |
| Myiasia | Ah, yes. e17 looks friendly enough. | 12:19 |

| Myiasia | Very to-the-point and easy on the eyes. | 12:20 |
| Toma- | Myiasia➜ thats not default. thats a theme i made | 12:20 |
| === jho is now known as joh | ||
| ikonia | Andycass1: odd, replace -net with -host | 12:20 |
| Myiasia | Well, I figured as much, but it's still nice. | 12:21 |
| Toma- | thx :) come to #e if you want to know more since e17 has nothing at all to do with ubuntu | 12:21 |
| dorothygale | okay let's try this then... what if there was a distro that loaded everything without prompting for user input. Like, say a manufacturer install. The I could SSH into it and do a command line install of Ubuntu Media Server | 12:21 |
| mopflite | Myiasia: http://www.yoyo.org/~anthony/blackbox-menu # that's the blackbox menu config file syntax, fluxbox is very similar | 12:21 |
| * Myiasia nods. | 12:21 | |
| dorothygale | like, I have physical access o the server | 12:21 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: now i get "SIOCDELRT: No such process | 12:21 |
| ikonia | dorothygale: no - you can't install ubuntu over ssh | 12:22 |
| serenityUK | Myiasia, right-click on the background for the menu | 12:22 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: my route has changed, hang on ill give you the new one | 12:22 |

I got a long readout that I put in pastbin under my name K_Nine. It says something about X. Can someone read this and help me out? | 12:25 |

| Andycass1 | ikonia: thats the only thingy did this recently | 12:26 |

| serenityUK | AngryElf, XFS is designed for performance with large files.. I think the only draw back is that you cannot shrink a partition.. but you can grow it | 12:28 |
| AngryElf_ | i'm not concerend with file size | 12:28 |
| AngryElf_ | just filesystem size | 12:28 |

| ikonia | sort: scripts ? | 12:32 |
| sort | yes | 12:32 |
| ikonia | what sort of scripts, nautilis is a file manager | 12:33 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: the network gui is set to be static | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: ahhh hha, change it to dhcp | 12:33 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: then lets dance | 12:33 |

| serenityUK | sort you will have to enable hidden files to see dirs with a dot... goto View menu and tick show hidden files | 12:34 |
| wjlroe | Hi. Does anyone know how to get connections to route properly with two internet connections? Line 1 is the default route, and line 2 is what the email comes in on. Trying to connect to a service on line 2 doesn't work because Linux tries to establish the connection through the default route, rather than the route it came in on | 12:34 |
| Leila | jrib: Okay. Try again. http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php | 12:35 |
| serenityUK | sort, it's in your home folder | 12:35 |
| sort | ok thank you | 12:35 |
| gicmo | sort: press ctrl + h | 12:35 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: yes that removed the error, but now i cant access the machine via vnc thru my winbox | 12:35 |
| jrib | sort: ./gnome is not what I said so you won't find it :). ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ where ~ means /home/your_username . Also, files that begin with '.' are hidden by default, so press ctrl-h to see them | 12:35 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: nvm, i know what the problem is, ill try to fix it | 12:35 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: thats a seperate issue, check your ip address and gateways now via dhcp (after a reboot is better) | 12:35 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: ok | 12:35 |
| sort | done thanx | 12:36 |
| jrib | Leila: that cannot be the correct url for your paste | 12:36 |
| Jay955 | what type of file system to you recommend for a second drive this drive will be used for storage of pic and mp3 and txt files | 12:36 |
| jrib | Leila: I get a blank page | 12:36 |
| Leila | jrib: How do I find the correct one? | 12:36 |
| jrib | copy the contents of your sources.list, then paste it into the form. Hit "send" and then copy the url you get | 12:37 |
| wjlroe | Jay955: if you don't need to use windows or mac, then you can take your pick. Something well used and stable would be best if it's a backup - so ext3, or reiserfs would do the trick | 12:37 |
| overclucker | Jay955: ext3 | 12:37 |
| hyui | Hi, i'm considering to acquire a pcmcia modem for my ubuntu gutsy, my option are OPTION GTMax 3.6, SIERRA Wireless Aircard 875, and SIERRA Wireless Aircard 875+, which of them can run out of box in my gutsy system? | 12:37 |
| Codenut | Good Morning to all | 12:37 |
| tokok | Codenut: evening you mean | 12:38 |
| Jay955 | will xp be able to read if ext3 | 12:38 |
| Leila | jrib: Try this http://pastebin.com/m158158b0 | 12:38 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: Well the problem is - Im trying to use two ip's on one interface. I have used the eth1 and eth1:1 options but when i do ifconfig it doesnt give the inet address | 12:38 |
| jrib | !ext3 > jay955 (read the private message from ubotu) | 12:38 |
| wjlroe | Jay955: no, might be some 3rd party software... | 12:38 |
| jrib | Jay955: yes, if you install something | 12:38 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: ifconfig eth1:1 | 12:38 |
| Leila | jrib: You have to post it for more than a day. | 12:38 |
| sort | !ext3 | 12:38 |
| Codenut | How do adjust what programs my son can see on his user name? | 12:38 |
| ubotu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 12:38 |
| Neeku | hi | 12:39 |
| Codenut | heeh | 12:39 |
| sort | hi | 12:39 |

| Jay955 | ok thanks | 12:39 |
| sort | wine? | 12:39 |

| ikonia | Andycass1: how are you configuring the :1 addres ? | 12:39 |
| freepenguin | hi | 12:39 |
| jrib | Leila: most of your repositories are commented out. Go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and enable them | 12:40 |
| sort | sudo apt-get install wine | 12:40 |
| Codenut | Sorry for asking twice, how do I block programs for a certian username? | 12:40 |
| Neeku | sort: no! I've downloaded it, I don't want to download it again | 12:40 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: i wish i could pastebin but i dont have networking, ill have to redo this admin gui thing, give me a min | 12:40 |
| Neeku | I've got bandwidth limit | 12:40 |
| sort | you have to compile it i think | 12:40 |
| sarmisak | Neeku: is it a .deb? | 12:40 |
| Neeku | sarmisak: it was wine-0.9.54.tar.bz2 | 12:41 |
| Neeku | I've extracted it | 12:41 |
| sort | sources? | 12:41 |

| === Stargazer is now known as Rezagrats | ||
| Neeku | sarmisak: oh no! :( | 12:42 |
| sarmisak | freepenguin: do you have a web page for a changelog, the differences, etc? | 12:42 |
| Neeku | don't tell me I wasted 15mb of my transfer limit! | 12:42 |
| freepenguin | sarmisak, yes I'm uploading it into my web-site | 12:43 |
| sarmisak | Neeku: there might be a package in the cd, just check it | 12:43 |
| freepenguin | sarmisak, on 1-2 hours you could see it at www.freepenguin.it/index-en.html | 12:43 |
| Leila | jrib: Thanks much. That did it. !:) | 12:44 |
| Rezagrats | Problem: when i try and play a YouTube video i can't hear any sound, ok now it seems that all my sound is down | 12:44 |
| cwillu | anybody know how to make firefox only use a proxy for particular addresses? (i.e., the opposite of the normal 'don't proxy for ...') | 12:44 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, probably have some program that doesn't use esd/alsa locking the device | 12:45 |
| lundnd | hey, is it possoble to have one log for ex Model1 and another for Model2 ? | 12:45 |
| freepenguin | sarmisak, however all softwares are updated to yesterday, there are customized themes and icons gdm etc., build-essential and gcc and more software (like amsn svn or amule cvs) | 12:45 |
| Rezagrats | Cwillu, mind explaining that | 12:45 |
| freepenguin | sarmisak, but this evening I'll put a better list in the web-site | 12:45 |
| Neeku | sarmisak: no way to do it with the pkg i've downloaded? | 12:45 |
| sarmisak | freepenguin: thanks, i will check your website. | 12:45 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: this is how my interfaces looks like: http://andycas.pri.ee/files/netconf | 12:45 |
| gurpreet | how can i know the version of nfs server installed on my machine/ | 12:45 |
| gurpreet | ? | 12:45 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, what programs do you have open? (no matter how insignificant) | 12:46 |
| freepenguin | ;) | 12:46 |
| sarmisak | Neeku: there is way but googling through it will probably cost you more on bandwidth ;) are you on gprs or something like that? | 12:46 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: fix your netwmask on eth1 | 12:46 |
| Rezagrats | Corpse script (mIRC), firefox, and file browser, cwillu | 12:46 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: netmask sorry | 12:46 |
| Neeku | sarmisak: no, i have adsl but with bw limit | 12:47 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: i think i need it to be .254 its my iptv box that has the same netmask and it says so in the guide | 12:47 |
| hyui | I'm really sorry to repeat this, i'm considering to acquire a pcmcia modem for my ubuntu gutsy, my option are OPTION GTMax 3.6, SIERRA Wireless Aircard 875, and SIERRA Wireless Aircard 875+, which of them can run out of box in my gutsy system? | 12:47 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: and it worked on my win box | 12:47 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: your first line is 25.255.255 | 12:48 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, sudo lsof | grep -i snd | 12:48 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: oh, yes right | 12:48 |
| serenityUK | gurpreet, try apt-cache show nfs-server ? or the package name | 12:48 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, that'll show every process that has something related to sound open | 12:48 |
| Andycass1 | i did fix it before, sorry, it didnt have effect | 12:48 |
| sarmisak | hyui: googling it would be much faster | 12:48 |
| dgjones | !hcl | hyui, have a look at the compatibility website, you might find some info there about the cards | 12:48 |
| ubotu | hyui, have a look at the compatibility website, you might find some info there about the cards: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 12:48 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, dump that into a pastebin and link it here | 12:49 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: I'm not sure what your problem is, when you startup, does your devices not have ip addresses ? | 12:49 |
| mauro` | where do i get support ? i mean SUPPORT .. ? like, I've asked about 2000 thousand people and not even one of them bothered to reply, where is famous ubuntu support ? | 12:49 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: yes, exacly | 12:49 |
| Rezagrats | Cwillu, im not getting anything | 12:49 |
| Neeku | sarmisak: i googled before coming here, but i couldnt find anything useful | 12:49 |
| jrib | !patience | mauro` | 12:49 |
| ubotu | mauro`: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 12:49 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, sudo lsof | grep -i dsp ? | 12:49 |
| gurpreet | serenityUK, its showing "Version: 1:1.1.1~git-20070709-3ubuntu1" i want in terms of nfs3/4 | 12:49 |
| sarmisak | mauro`: what's the complaint? | 12:49 |
| mauro` | sarmisak: do u want me to query it to u or will i put it here again ? | 12:50 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: hold on, ill give you the ifconfig when i cant get the ip | 12:50 |
| gurpreet | serenityUK, coz i wanna know how to add entries in /etc/exports, in format of nfs3 or nfs4 | 12:50 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: here: http://andycas.pri.ee/files/netlog | 12:50 |
| * cwillu saw mauro` ask a question, get linked to another location, and look happy about it; he wonders what he missed | 12:51 | |
| Rezagrats | Cwillu, http://pastebin.com/d1b0f96e3 | 12:51 |
| sarmisak | no queries, if someone runs into the same problem they might need the answer | 12:51 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: have you done "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" scince your changes ? | 12:51 |
| * mauro` went to another location where is about 140 people, he wonders that if he got one reply out of 1200 people, how many replies he'd get out of 140 people.. | 12:51 | |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, okay, some java applet or program is grabbing the sound | 12:52 |
| Rezagrats | Yeah youtube | 12:52 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, killall java_vm should do the trick | 12:52 |
| ikonia | mauro`: this is an ubuntu support channel - please don't post random pointless chatter or "/me" commands | 12:52 |
| jrib | mauro`: you don't seem to have understood ubotu's message | 12:52 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, but that'll close whatever java app that is | 12:52 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, youtube is flash, not java | 12:52 |
| ikonia | mauro`: I advised you this is not a hardware support channel and gave you the correct channel | 12:52 |
| Rezagrats | Runescape | 12:52 |
| mauro` | all right, no one seems to be helpful over there, can you please redirect me somewhere else ?:) | 12:53 |
| ikonia | mauro`: no | 12:53 |
| sarmisak | mauro`: it's an acpi thing | 12:53 |
| cwillu | mauro`, 1200 aren't actually watching the channel, and alot of them are here for help as well. going to more specific channels is better because the people there are more likely to have an answer. smaller channels usually do better with tougher problems | 12:53 |
| Rezagrats | Cwillu, after i do that will i be able to re-open the java ( in this case Runescape ) | 12:53 |
| ikonia | mauro`: hardware is the channel - this is ubuntu support, not "channel info" | 12:53 |
| sarmisak | mauro`: some pcs support it well, some don't, you are on your own, sorry for that. | 12:53 |
| mauro` | sarmisak: thank You anyway :) | 12:53 |
| sarmisak | try disabling acpi functions in the bios and see what changes | 12:53 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, hmm. it's a bit tricky. yes, you can reload it, but I'd run something like totem or rhythmbox first just so that esd kicks in and grabs the device | 12:54 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, I think there's a trick you can do, but I don't know it off hand (or any details on it really) | 12:54 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, if you know which app it is, you could just close it normally, and that should suffice to get sound back | 12:54 |
| firestorm | Howdy. Any VNC users here? Wondering whether it can be used to share a desktop in (a) view-only mode and (b) remote-control mode ? | 12:55 |
| cwillu | firestorm, yes and yes | 12:55 |
| soulburner | hello everybody :) | 12:55 |
| firestorm | cwillu: how can I configure it...any good setup guides? | 12:55 |
| sarmisak | firestorm: system > preferences > remote desktop | 12:55 |
| cwillu | !vnc | 12:55 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 12:55 |
| serenityUK | gurpreet, it seems to support 3 or 4 but the docs refer to version 4 so I would try that.. such as http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-ubuntu-nfs-server-configuration-howto/ | 12:56 |
| cwillu | firestorm, I think the remote access item in the admin or prefs menu will do what yoru want | 12:56 |
| muty-bg | Does anyone knows an application that can rip DVDs to mpeg2? | 12:56 |
| gurpreet | i was referring to "https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-file-system.html" for help, but its option no_root_squash seems to be not supported | 12:57 |
| firestorm | cwillu: not running KDE or GNOME...is there a command line I can run to bring up that same admin menu? | 12:57 |
| sarmisak | muty-bg: have you tried apt-cache search dvd? | 12:57 |
| ikonia | muty-bg: mencoder, acidrip, dvd::rip thre are tons, have a search | 12:57 |
| cwillu | firestorm, what are you running? | 12:57 |
| max__ | lol | 12:58 |
| firestorm | cwillu: ubuntu / xdm / fluxbox | 12:58 |
| gurpreet | serenityUK, i was referring to "https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-file-system.html" for help, but its option no_root_squash seems to be not supported | 12:58 |
| max__ | hi all | 12:58 |
| muty-bg | ikonia: I tried them all they are only encoding in mpeg4 :S | 12:58 |
| gurpreet | serenityUK, may be that was due to presence of space between options | 12:58 |
| serenityUK | gurpreet, i have not used nfs i use ssh, but they seem to need commas without spaces for options | 12:59 |
| cwillu | firestorm, vino-preferences | 12:59 |
| ikonia | muty-bg you can set your encoding options | 12:59 |
| SleepingSloth | does anyone here run an irc client with a transparent background, and if so, what client allows it? | 12:59 |
| max__ | anyone know why ifconfig ath0 down doesn't work? | 13:00 |
| cwillu | SleepingSloth, xchat-gtk | 13:00 |
| serenityUK | max sudo? | 13:00 |
| Wi1d | SleepingSloth: irssi in a transparent termincal | 13:00 |
| max__ | well, I did | 13:00 |
| SleepingSloth | cwillu, thanks | 13:00 |
| max__ | sudo ifconfig ath0 down | 13:00 |
| firestorm | cwillu: legend! | 13:00 |
| muty-bg | ikonia: yes but no option for mpeg2, dvd:rip looks very promising if only I knew hot make it transcode to mpeg2 | 13:00 |
| cwillu | firestorm, ? | 13:00 |
| SleepingSloth | Wild,n | 13:00 |
| Rezagrats | Plrinter not printing, anyone have an idea ? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | muty-bg: if you have the codecs installed you should be able to just select it | 13:01 |
| hk2999 | how do i get unbanned from ubuntu-offtopic? there wasn't even a warning. | 13:01 |
| SleepingSloth | sorry Wild- thanks. | 13:01 |
| * cwillu resists the urge to suggest checking for paper | 13:01 | |
| ikonia | hk2999: join #ubuntu-ops and speak to the guy who banned you if possible | 13:01 |
| cwillu | why where you banned? | 13:01 |
| hk2999 | i don't know. | 13:02 |
| hk2999 | i was just calling sabdfl the next revolutionary | 13:02 |
| max__ | is there anything else conrol the aht0? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | hk2999: well, ask in #ubuntu-ops for support | 13:02 |
| hk2999 | ok thanks | 13:02 |
| Rezagrats | Cwillu, the printer isn't even begining to print, i give the command, but nothing at alll happens, the printer is on, the ink is new, adequite amount of paper | 13:02 |
| muty-bg | ikonia: I have ffmpeg installed and it lets me select it but no mpeg2 option actually I'm able to do it if I firrst rib the vobs and then convert them to mpeg2 with ffmpeg from the console | 13:02 |
| cwillu | Rezagrats, I hate printers | 13:02 |
| Rezagrats | Ditto | 13:03 |
| max__ | anyone got idea how to deal with my ath0 | 13:03 |
| ikonia | muty-bg: may be a limitation of the gui | 13:03 |
| ikonia | max__: deal with it ? | 13:03 |
| cwillu | max__, what are you trying to do? | 13:03 |
| ikonia | max__: asking every 10 seconds is the best way to be ignored fyi: | 13:03 |
| * cwillu wonders if max__ wants a hit on it | 13:03 | |
| max__ | I tried to turn it down | 13:03 |
| serenityUK | max__, you can use ifdown and ifup but I think they do the same thing.. . sudo ifdown ath0 | 13:03 |
| max__ | yes | 13:03 |
| muty-bg | ikonia: I think so too :( too bad since I have to rip 200 dvds for a VOD server I'm setting up right now :( | 13:04 |
| max__ | I did that, then after 1 sec, I use ifconfig to check that | 13:04 |
| SleepingSloth | cwillu, no sign in the repos... only xchat-gnome | 13:04 |
| max__ | the ath0 still there | 13:04 |
| ikonia | muty-bg: I scripted it with menocder | 13:04 |
| cwillu | SleepingSloth, sorry, that's the one | 13:04 |
| ikonia | max__: ifconfig is diffrent to ifdown | 13:04 |
| SleepingSloth | cwillu, ah,ok | 13:04 |
| serenityUK | SleepingSloth, normal xchat will do transparent bg, xchat-gnome is similar but less option - a simpler interface | 13:05 |
| max__ | ok, I try that, give me sec. | 13:05 |
| max__ | thx anyway bro. | 13:05 |
| firestorm | cwillu: legend, as in good on ya mate - it works | 13:05 |
| cwillu | ah, k :p | 13:05 |
| cwillu | legend = good on ya mate = it works | 13:05 |
| SleepingSloth | serenityUK, i'd like it to appear log-like on my background... i'll have todig around options i guess | 13:06 |
| * cwillu feels like he just learned 2 languages there :p | 13:06 | |
| firestorm | hehe | 13:06 |
| hk2999 | so is there no way to get unbanned from ubuntu-offtopic/how long does the ban last? | 13:06 |
| firestorm | aussie != english | 13:06 |
| cwillu | hk2999, did you miss the #ubuntu-ops line? | 13:07 |
| dgjones | hk2999, you need to speak to the people in #ubuntu-ops and discuss it with them when they're available, they're the only ones that can remove any ban | 13:07 |
| serenityUK | SleepingSloth, you could always use a terminal based client like irssi and set the terminal to transparent... if you use xfce-terminal you can disable the borders too!.. you can use xfce-terminal in gnome ok | 13:07 |
| gurpreet | serenityUK, yes, i tried without commas and nfs started without any erorrs | 13:07 |
| SleepingSloth | serenity- thanks, i'll look into it | 13:07 |
| ikonia | hk2999: you've been told what to do | 13:07 |
| gurpreet | but i still don't know the version of my nfs server | 13:07 |
| ikonia | hk2999: stop asking in here, this is a support channel, go to ubuntu-ops and gain support | 13:07 |
| hk2999 | ok | 13:08 |
| gurpreet | though not really required but i am just curious | 13:08 |
| ikonia | hk2999: being off topic in this channel won't help you argue your case in #ubuntu-ops | 13:08 |
| serenityUK | gurpreet, good luck, the info text says it supports 3 and 4... i think they are just protocols | 13:08 |
| gurpreet | serenityUK, thanks pal | 13:09 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: sorry i was away | 13:09 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: no problem | 13:09 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: Im still having this issue, i did restart my network interface but nothing | 13:10 |
| Myiasia | Hmm.. I see "New distribution release '7.10 is available".. however, last time I attempted to "upgrade" with my laptop, the install was destroyed.. I'm leery of doing that since this computer didn't even want to install Gutsy in the first place. | 13:10 |
| Myiasia | Thoughts on that? | 13:10 |
| mohbana | hi guys i making icalendar sort of program but i need to verify if my .ics file is correctly formatted, what programs allows me to add dates from a .ics file? | 13:10 |
| cwillu | Myiasia, probably wise | 13:10 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: ifconfig eth1 shows up nice, just like it should be, but ifconfig eth1:1 doesnt have ip or mask | 13:10 |
| max__ | ikonia: ifdown not working as well | 13:10 |
| bullgard4 | Why prints 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' different values for domain, server and master than 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32673) | 13:11 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: so eth1 now has the correct address - but eth1:1 doesn't | 13:11 |
| cwillu | Myiasia, if you have another machine/drive with enough space to back the laptop up, you could try it and roll back if it doesn't work, but otherwise, I wouldn't if you had problems before | 13:11 |
| ikonia | max__: you need to give people more info than "not working well" | 13:11 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: yup | 13:11 |
| serenityUK | mohbana, I think google calender supports .ics you could try online if you have gmail account | 13:11 |
| cwillu | Myiasia, unless you tried a prerelease of gutsy, in which case try booting a livecd again and see if it works mostly | 13:11 |
| mohbana | serenityUK, i need an offline application please :) | 13:11 |
| max__ | sry, it give me a replay" ifdown: interface ath0 not configured" | 13:11 |
| verminn | Hello | 13:12 |
| ikonia | max__: you'll find ath0 is just a reference to say eth1 which is the physical card | 13:12 |
| verminn | how can i install the man pages for all the posix functions? | 13:12 |
| phiqtion | what's the best prog to create an Audio CD? | 13:12 |
| verminn | i am missing some, like pthread_* | 13:12 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: add "audo eth1:1" | 13:12 |
| serenityUK | mohbana, have you tried sunbird? the mozilla calender from the makers of firefox? | 13:13 |
| max__ | lol. how to find a physical card? is there a command to do that? | 13:13 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: to the interfaces file "auto eth1:1" | 13:13 |
| phiqtion | what's the best prog to create an Audio CD? | 13:13 |
| adobongkangkong | phiqtion : try k3b | 13:14 |
| tapas | hi, i'm trying to build edgy's 2.4 libc source package with some modifications | 13:14 |
| tapas | to get it to boot on a 2.4.x kernel | 13:14 |
| max__ | ikonia: could I find out the phy card by ifconfig ? | 13:14 |
| tapas | [i know hald etc, won't work, but i don't care so much ;)] | 13:14 |
| verminn | how can i install the man pages for all the posix functions? im missing some like pthread_* | 13:14 |
| ikonia | max__: eth0 will be your ethernet card eth1 will be your wirless probably | 13:14 |
| ikonia | verminn: not all have man pages | 13:15 |
| gurpreet | how can i restart the network without restarting the whole system? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: what do you want to restart ? | 13:15 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: sudo /etc/init.t/networking restart | 13:15 |
| verminn | ikonia: ? what? | 13:15 |
| hk2999 | <gurpreet> sudo ifdown <ethname> then sudo ifup <ethname> | 13:15 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 13:15 |
| ikonia | hk2999: no - thats not correct | 13:15 |
| SleepingSloth | gurpreet: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 13:15 |
| SleepingSloth | heh | 13:16 |
| verminn | ikonia: oh.. | 13:16 |
| hk2999 | oh | 13:16 |
| verminn | ikonia: but there are man pages for pthread_ | 13:16 |
| verminn | you can see them in freebsd, opengroup, etc | 13:16 |
| === no0tic_ is now known as notic | ||
| ikonia | verminn: they may be in a seperate package ? | 13:16 |
| === notic is now known as no0tic | ||
| verminn | that is what i am asking | 13:16 |
| verminn | the name of hte package | 13:16 |
| ikonia | verminn: I'm only aware of the core man page package in ubuntu, use synaptic to search | 13:17 |
| avril | hello there | 13:17 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: did you add auto eth1:1 ? | 13:17 |
| serenityUK | welcome | 13:17 |
| max__ | ikonia: I think ath0 must be the one. cause that's the only one shows when I use ifconfig to check | 13:17 |
| ikonia | max__: please put "ifconfig -a" into a pastebin please. | 13:17 |
| verminn | ikonia: found it, it's called 'glibc-doc' | 13:18 |
| verminn | thanks | 13:18 |
| ikonia | max__: what exactly do you want to achieve - what is your end goal ? | 13:18 |
| ikonia | rats | 13:18 |
| gurpreet | i tried it, but its not working | 13:18 |
| Myiasia | Well.. my laptop was running 7.10 just fine, but I found the machine couldn't handle it well. | 13:18 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: what's not working, more detail please. | 13:18 |
| Myiasia | I actually decided to go back to Windows 98 SE for it just because it seems to run the best on that laptop. | 13:19 |
| max__ | turn the card to mointer mod | 13:19 |
| serenityUK | gurpreet, you can restart nsf seperately if that is your goal? | 13:19 |
| ikonia | max__: iwconfig will controll wirless functions on that device | 13:19 |
| === kaareS is now known as kaare_afk | ||
| gurpreet | hk2999, ikonia SleepingSloth the problem is that when i started my laptop i forgot to switch on the wifi switch, now once it is started and i do /etc/networking/restart its not starting the wifi | 13:19 |
| Codenut | how do I get audio to function on VLC player | 13:19 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: no one told you to do that | 13:20 |
| OmegaCenti | Yep, I fail. I cannot get this comparable %^&* to work for the life of me. | 13:20 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: the command is "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" | 13:20 |
| === JSharp_ is now known as JSharp | ||
| gurpreet | ikonia, yes i did same. it said "*Reconfiguring network interface... [OK]" but it dont start wifi | 13:20 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: i got "ignoring unknown interface eth1:1=eth1:1." when i tried restarting network interfaces | 13:20 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: does iwconfig show your wirless card, has your wirless card ever workd ? | 13:21 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: thats odd. | 13:21 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: try auto eth1 | 13:21 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: rahter than eth1:1 | 13:21 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | Hi All, I have just donloaded 7.10 and written the ISO to CD, however I cant see a way to do a text install or any form of install without having to first go the live cd route ? | 13:21 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: i already have this in my conf | 13:21 |
| gurpreet | ikonia, yes wfconfig shows it as ath0, it always work but i always have to restart system to start wifi | 13:21 |
| max__ | ikonia: iwconfig can't turn the card to moniter mod."SET failed on device ath0 ; Invalid argument. | 13:22 |
| max__ | " will be given | 13:22 |
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: text installation is done via the alternative cd | 13:22 |
| ikonia | max__: then the synatax is wrong | 13:22 |
| K_Nine | jrib: Thanks. I now have Konversation set up and I don't see the constant join/part notifications. I really like that, which I couldn't figure out how to do in X-Chat Gnome. | 13:22 |
| ikonia | gurpreet: probably the module wasn't loaded for it, modprobe the correct kernel modules | 13:22 |
| gurpreet | ikonia, because most of time i forget to switch wifi ON before starting the system and then i have to restart the system | 13:22 |
| muty-bg | ikonia: ok I got it with a single console command now, works pretty well :) | 13:22 |
| jrib | K_Nine: it's possible (but I don't know how offhand) | 13:23 |
| ikonia | muty-bg: so a limit of the guy then | 13:23 |
| ikonia | s/guy/gui | 13:23 |
| max__ | ikonia: sry, I don't get it? wat syntax? the ath0? | 13:23 |
| K_Nine | jrib: Plus you can control so much more in Konverstion. | 13:24 |
| ikonia | max__: the command is complaining that the syntax of your command is wrong | 13:24 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | Ok so from a live cd installation no matter what partition configuration I try I always get the error: The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 master (hda) failed | 13:24 |
| ikonia | max__: or that card does not support that funciotn in linux | 13:24 |
| jrib | K_Nine: k, everyone should use what they like of course. Glad you got it to work | 13:24 |
| gurpreet | ikonia, i don't know which specific module is needed, though 8139too module is loaded | 13:24 |
| Myiasia | Okay. Runlevels. | 13:25 |
| ikonia | gurpreet I don't know what module is needed - look at what's loaded now, restart then look at whats loaded with wifi on, and compare | 13:25 |
| Myiasia | I need to make a custom runlevel so I can install my nVidia drivers without having it complain about anything. | 13:25 |
| gurpreet | ikonia, right idea, doing same | 13:26 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | is there a way to wipe the hard drive clean before live cd starts ? | 13:26 |
| Myiasia | What's the best way to go about this? | 13:26 |
| jrib | !nvidia > myiasia (read the private message from ubotu) | 13:26 |
| lostatsee | Good morning to all yall out there. | 13:26 |
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: you don't need to, when you format it with the linux file system you'll be fine | 13:26 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia: Ok so from a live cd installation no matter what partition configuration I try I always get the error: The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 master (hda) failed | 13:26 |
| Myiasia | hehe | 13:26 |
| Myiasia | Well, I still want that runlevel. :p | 13:26 |
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: are you resizing at all ? | 13:26 |
| jrib | Myiasia: why? | 13:26 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia: tried resizing and using full drive | 13:27 |
| lostatsee | I am trying to figure out how to boot directly into a program bypassing GNOME or any other heavy desktop. The program I am trying to boot directly into is called AdvMenu which in turn is the frontend for AdvMame. Anyone here good with this sort of thing? | 13:27 |
| Myiasia | Need it to not start GDM/X11, and to close GDM/X11 when switched to it. | 13:27 |
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: nothing fancy like raid being used | 13:27 |
| max__ | ikonia: is it correct ? "sudo iwconfig ath0 mode Monitor" I checked man page, It should be fine. | 13:27 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia: nothing at all, 7.40 was running on this machine an hour ago | 13:28 |
| jrib | Myiasia: read 'man update-rc.d' then I suppose | 13:28 |
| ikonia | BlueEyes_Jhb: very odd, no other warnings errors, nothing on the console (alt+f2/3/4/5) warning wise | 13:28 |
| tapas | how can i tell dpkg-buildpackage that it shall only build the package for a certain architecture? | 13:29 |
| * Myiasia RTFM. XD | 13:29 | |
| Myiasia | Aaah.. yes. | 13:30 |
| BlueEyes_Jhb | ikonia: nope console sits at normal login | 13:30 |
| Myiasia | Oh, and another reason I wanted to do this is in case I screw my X server up, jrib. :p | 13:30 |
| bullgard4 | Why does 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' print different values for domain, server and master than 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32673) | 13:30 |

| soulburner | hello everybody, i've got a little problem with gparted, i can mount my 4 partitions of my second hdd but gparted say that all space is unallocated | 13:31 |
| K_Nine | Is there a way to make the icons (and maybe the height) of the task bar larger? | 13:31 |
| Myiasia | Yeah, I know.. but switching runlevels makes it easy for me to kill things I screw up and bring them back up again with a simple init blah. :p | 13:31 |
| K_Nine | Icons on the task bar. | 13:31 |

| ikonia | Andycass1: That doesn't make any sense......thas very odd | 13:35 |

| soulburner | 3 ntfs and 1 fat32, but all can be mounted | 13:40 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: it is yes, but if you need a gui it's better to install the desktop version from the CD | 13:41 |
| guoye | who are you？ | 13:41 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: I enabled roaming mode from network admin tool and now it doesnt have ip on any of the interfaces | 13:41 |

| coolbhavi | I am using ubuntu 7.10.. | 13:43 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: but why are you using the server install, and not the desktop | 13:43 |
| coolbhavi | oh I didnt know that | 13:43 |
| mopflite | 7.10 rocks - it has a couple of odd installation gotchas though in my experience | 13:43 |
| soulburner | cyberjames: i use ntfs-3g to mount, all right, but when i try to use gparted to format a partition, it say that all my hdb is empty, but the 4 partition are mounted ^^ | 13:43 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: you'll find the desktop edtition much better for home use on a lot of fronts | 13:43 |
| cyberjames | soulburner: you have files in hdb? | 13:44 |
| coolbhavi | Ok but I am curious to know | 13:44 |
| cyberjames | soulburner: is the hdb ext3? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: curious to know what ? | 13:45 |
| pepperjack | coolbhavi: sadly you will be less cool if you install using the desktop cd. | 13:45 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: install the desktop edition, you'll find it a better learning tool and it more suited to home use | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pepperjack: don't make statments like that | 13:45 |
| soulburner | cyberjames: yes i have many files ^^ and is fat32 and ntfs | 13:45 |
| ikonia | pepperjack: some people believe it | 13:45 |
| coolbhavi | Please tell me the answer to my question | 13:45 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: install it via synaptic | 13:45 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: that is the answer to your question | 13:46 |
| gurpreet | ikonia, i've checked, there is no difference of modules loaded in wifi enabled and wifi disabled state | 13:46 |
| === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic | ||
| coolbhavi | which package? | 13:46 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: however as a learning tool I suggest you use the desktop edition as the gui is more intergrated and bonus's like restricted driver compatiblilty for example works | 13:46 |
| ikonia | coolbhavi: if you can't figure out the names of obvious packages - you should not be running the server edition | 13:46 |
| unilynx | Anyone know much on getting 5th Gen iPod's working correctly in Rhythimbox? I ran mine fine under Amarok, but when I did this it screwed up my play counts very much when I would go over and upen the iPod again in iTunes. | 13:46 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: this is so weird, so now i disabled roaming mode, put it dhcp and restarted it, got buncha errors and stuff and when i try ifconfig the eth1:1 has correct ip but eth1 doesnt have ip anymore? | 13:46 |
| cyberjames | soulburner: hdb should only 1 file system.. if it is ntfs use ntfs-3g and fat32 use fat32.. | 13:46 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: only ipv6 ip | 13:47 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: eth1 wo'nt have an ip as it will want one from the dhcp server | 13:47 |
| ikonia | Andycass1: your getting an ip6 addresss ? | 13:47 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: yes. | 13:47 |

| ikonia | coolbhavi: top contributor to the community ? where ? | 13:48 |
| ikonia | Andycass1 so where is the ipv6 address coming from ? | 13:48 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: that bloody thing worked before just fine, is there a way to clean this all up and start over? | 13:49 |
| soulburner | cyberjames: and gparted don't see anything on hdb | 13:49 |
| Andycass1 | ikonia: no idea! | 13:49 |

I have GRUB to start either of WinXP or Linux Ubuntu, but now my Windows reboots everytime the system is almost done . Before the logon screen pops up (the graphical user interface is loaded) the system boots, at the same time the HDD sounds like it stoppes. Ubuntu runs problemlessly | 14:26 |

| jrib | Rufus_: that's usually an issue with the way it was packaged. Link to the icon theme? | 14:52 |
| Rufus_ | wait | 14:53 |
| adobongkangkong | <Rufus_> : u unpack it and put it your icon folder | 14:53 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: thats probably your firewall (sorry I was away from my desk) | 14:53 |
| localmost | or unpack the icon theme, and the actuall tar.gz might be inside, Rufus_ | 14:53 |
| adobongkangkong | <Rufus_> /home/username/.icons | 14:53 |
| Rufus_ | http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LiNsta-icons?content=62759 | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | adobongkangkong: It probably is more than that.. | 14:53 |
| adobongkangkong | <Jack_Sparrow> : what do ya mean? | 14:54 |
| Gabt | Hey, im looking for advice, cant get ubuntu to start! :( | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Rufus_: The first paragraph tells you how to install those | 14:54 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: i used sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop command but it still cant ping | 14:55 |
| Gabt | PCI: cannot allocate resource region 1 of device 0000:00:14:0 (anyone know wtf that means?) | 14:55 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: tells me unknown host | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | adobongkangkong: He cold have been selecting something that would not work at all. It only makes sense to see what it is before trying to install it manually | 14:55 |
| jrib | Rufus_: yeah, it's compressed twice for some reason... | 14:56 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: oh, wait i can ping my lan box now, hm probably dns wrong? | 14:56 |
| rothchild | what tools can I use to manipulate PDF files? | 14:56 |
| adobongkangkong | Rufus_ : just unpack the archives and put it in your icon folder in "/home/yourusername/.icons" | 14:56 |
| adobongkangkong | <Jack_Sparrow> : i know what error he's takin' about and it happens to me... | 14:56 |
| ctp | hi folks. which full featured player do you prefer? used amarok for a while and tried rhythmbox. any other players you recommend? | 14:56 |
| rothchild | I have the cover and content of a single brochure in two files and I need to make them in to one | 14:57 |
| rothchild | ctp have you tried songbird | 14:57 |
| XLV | Gabt, is it a laptop you are trying to install to? | 14:57 |
| rothchild | ctp: http://www.songbirdnest.com/ | 14:57 |
| ctp | rothchild: didnt try it yet. but thx for info | 14:57 |
| adobongkangkong | <ctp> exaile | 14:58 |
| rothchild | ctp it's still pretty buggy but I think it has a great future | 14:58 |
| adobongkangkong | songbird is still in beta right? | 14:58 |
| jrib | Rufus_: ha, it stems from the fact that the file is named just .bz2 and not tar.bz2, so file-roller uncompresses first to the tar and then extracts. But yeah, what adobongkangkong said will work | 14:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | adobongkangkong: JUst because it is the same error.. does not mean it is the same problem. You get the same error trying to stick a gdm theme into the regular theme manager not to mention the different things that are involved when you add effects and emerald theme manager | 14:58 |
| Gabt | Anyone willing to help a ubuntu newby, pm me | 14:58 |
| sev1989 | hi all | 14:58 |
| ctp | adobongkangkong: ah, some guys use exaile. i'll give it a try too ;-) | 14:58 |
| Rufus_ | okay, i put them in icons folder | 14:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gabt: Please ask your question in here so all can learn from it | 14:59 |
| jrib | Rufus_: then go to Preferences -> Appearance again and see if it is listed as an icon theme | 14:59 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Gabt: Do you get to the first screen.. start ot install ? | 15:04 |
| localmost | possibly | 15:04 |
| Gabt | Yea | 15:04 |
| bulmer | Gabt then it did boot | 15:04 |
| pepperjack | bluephantom: we all use telnet but ask away | 15:04 |
| Gabt | i get the screen were i can chose to start, run disk check etc | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | Gabt: maybe you can try some boot options ... | 15:04 |
| localmost | lol | 15:04 |
| Pici | !telnet | pepperjack | 15:04 |
| ubotu | pepperjack: telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh | 15:04 |
| erUSUL | !bootoptions | 15:04 |
| ubotu | For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 15:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gabt: Have you tried F6 and different boot modifiers noapic etc | 15:04 |
| bluephantom | i just install as "apt-get install ssh" | 15:04 |
| XLV | Gabt, is it a laptop you are trying to install to? | 15:05 |
| ibou | jrib: sorry have to go i'll ansewer you later | 15:05 |
| bluephantom | and now, i | 15:05 |
| Gabt | No, its a desktop | 15:05 |
| localmost | You need either the client or server, you must choose | 15:05 |
| Gabt | And ive tryed booting in safe mode, no diffrence | 15:05 |
| SleepingSloth | what's the de facto standard for ubuntu mysql clients | 15:05 |
| localmost | for SSH, Bluephantom | 15:05 |
| Pici | !enter | bluephantom | 15:05 |
| ubotu | bluephantom: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:05 |
| Gabt | I thought, maybe its smth to dow ith my PCI hardware, not being recognized, so i removed it, no diffrenmce | 15:06 |
| bluephantom | and now i'm use putty on win to connect it, i type the username ,and type the password , but can't login... | 15:06 |
| jrib | bluephantom: first, go to your ubuntu computer and see if 'ssh localhost' works | 15:06 |
| SleepingSloth | i mean- like mysql-navigator, or similar. or is mysql-navigator the best there is? | 15:06 |
| Gabt | ill try the xtra boot options | 15:07 |
| bluephantom | how to see? | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gabt: acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off | 15:07 |
| Gabt | and ill come back let u know wut happened | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gabt: Not all at once... | 15:07 |
| bluephantom | i can connect port 22, just can't login.... | 15:07 |
| jrib | !who | bluephantom | 15:07 |
| bulmer | just an fyi, I had a terrible time I thought in burning Fedora 7 dvd.iso, always gets 75% error during k3b verification, but yet, I had a copy of that dvd.iso -- from the dvd boot I can point to hd where the dvd.iso and do install.. | 15:07 |
| ubotu | bluephantom: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 15:07 |
| Gabt | ok, ill try them | 15:07 |
| jrib | bluephantom: how to see what? | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Gabt: noapic is one Iuse the most | 15:08 |
| bluephantom | ubotu:oic,sorry.... | 15:08 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about oic,sorry.... - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:08 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: dns seems realistic problem there | 15:08 |
| jrib | bluephantom: you just type 'ssh localhost' in a terminal | 15:08 |
| Gabt | ok thnx, ill try it | 15:08 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: probably because your not using dhcp anymore | 15:08 |
| bulmer | so it was kind of neat to have that option on the menu of install to select where the iso is located for installation | 15:08 |
| Gabt | brb | 15:08 |
| localmost | bluephantom, if SSH is properly installed you should be able to log in as root or yo | 15:08 |
| localmost | ...ot | 15:08 |
| localmost | or your current user name | 15:09 |
| localmost | New keyboard, sorry | 15:09 |
| jrib | localmost: not as root on ubuntu... | 15:09 |
| _guest_ | can someone help me to get my radeon 9250 working in ubuntu, even websites with flash are sluggish in fullscreen mode now | 15:09 |
| ikonia | root login is disabled by default | 15:09 |
| localmost | jrib, sorry my mistake | 15:09 |
| XLV | bluephantom, install openssh server | 15:10 |
| fevel | can someone help me convert files to mpeg4 (ipod format) Is there a tool I can install like jodio Ipod converter? | 15:10 |
| fevel | Jodio - Windoes | 15:10 |
| bluephantom | localmost: i use the user:bluephantom,it can login on local | 15:10 |
| bluephantom | i use "apt-get install ssh" to install ssh already.... | 15:10 |
| localmost | bluephantom, and when you attempt"ssh 127.0.0.1" does it prompt you to connect? | 15:11 |
| bulmer | but that is not the server portion, i dont think | 15:11 |
| XLV | bluephantom, that installs ssh client, if you want to login into a ubuntu pc through ssh you need the server | 15:11 |
| jrib | XLV: it should install both | 15:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _guest_:I may have a ote about that card... one sec.. are you using fglrx ? | 15:12 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: hmm, i set the dns manually and it still doesnt work, connecting to ip doesnt work either. I think i have to set up routing, though i dont know which settings to use | 15:12 |
| bluephantom | yes,i can connect prot 22 | 15:12 |
| localmost | There you go then, bluephantom | 15:12 |
| ikonia | Andycasss lets do this one thing at a time. Lets get the physical nic for eth0 working first, turn off your firewall / clear rules and lets begin | 15:12 |
| _guest_ | Jack_Sparrow: I am not sure what I am using any longer, so many people have tried to fix this...so now nothing works except .txt documents | 15:12 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: eth1 sorry | 15:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _guest_: Search for Xorg-driver-FGLRX, If it is enabled ( installed...) Mark it for complete removal and click on apply | 15:13 |
| _guest_ | Jack_Sparrow: I used to have it working with Beryl, running smooth and nice, then someone tried updating the ati drivers with the new ones from ATI and since then it's all pearshaped | 15:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _guest_: Search for libgl1-mesa-glx If it is NOT enabled ( installed...) Mark it for Installation and click on apply | 15:14 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: ok | 15:14 |
| jac | hi people | 15:15 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: ive switched the fw off. i dont want to clear the rules tho - it should allow those protocols to pass anyway now | 15:15 |
| bluephantom | localmost: i use putty on windows connect port 22, and type user and password , but can't login, Is not i must alter some file? | 15:15 |
| jac | ive got a question: I'm looking for a 'make your own' printable card style cd holder to store livecds for distribution, so I can leave the stand in a public place so others can freely take them, like the offial ubuntu ones that ive seen, but one that I can print myself | 15:17 |
| bluephantom | localmost: is there some wrong with User Configuration? | 15:17 |
| jac | i was wondering if anyone can point me in the right location for this | 15:17 |
| _guest_ | Jack_Sparrow: They are both installed already | 15:17 |
| bluephantom | ·èÁË~ÓÐÈË»áÖÐÎÄû£¿ | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Andycasss as long as it's totally disabled and not causing any issues | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: so show me the output of ifconfig eth1 and netstatn -rn in a pastebin please. | 15:18 |
| kimrhh | getting a "bad digest" on Adobe Flash player 9, installing through synaptic.. how to fix that? | 15:18 |
| jac | is there liek a section of the ubuntu website with promotional material that might include such a thing...along with cover art etc? | 15:18 |
| apollo | hi super new to linux just came over from windows, and i was wondering why it allways asks me for my password when i use terminal | 15:18 |
| Jay955 | hi all | 15:19 |
| ikonia | apollo to authenticate you for the first time you issue a root command | 15:19 |
| jrib | apollo: what command are you trying? | 15:19 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: weirdness... Can you access this page: http://andycas.pri.ee/ its being hosted by the same machine im having problems with | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _guest_: The first one was UN-install | 15:19 |
| apollo | i was trying to use a sudo command in order to install automatrix | 15:19 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: yes, I can get there | 15:19 |
| ikonia | apollo: don't install automatrix | 15:19 |
| Jay955 | i have a small problem | 15:19 |
| ikonia | apollo: it is not supported by this community and you will lose support if you install it | 15:20 |
| jrib | jac: try #ubuntu-marketing too | 15:20 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: weird, i cant get any outside connection with this machine | 15:20 |
| ikonia | !automatix | apollo | 15:20 |
| ubotu | apollo: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 15:20 |
| fevel | sorry guys... I missed the answer...is there a way to convert movies to mpeg4?? | 15:20 |
| apollo | why would you say that? | 15:20 |
| ikonia | apollo because that's the truth | 15:20 |
| fevel | atomatix sucks | 15:20 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: only incoming... Anyway ill run these commands and pastebin those for you, is it ok when i put them inside my server? | 15:20 |
| jrib | apollo: because it breaks installs and is not necessary. Why do you think you need it? | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | apollo: because it is a horrible thing to do to your setup | 15:20 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: sure, no problem | 15:20 |
| apollo | just seem like a goo start and ive heard good things about it | 15:20 |
| apollo | good sry | 15:21 |
| fevel | probably from itself | 15:21 |
| ikonia | apollo: now your hearing bad things, and being told you'll lose your support in here if you use it | 15:21 |
| jrib | apollo: good start in what sense? What do you need it to do? | 15:21 |
| KenSentMe | I use the twinview settings to use 2 displays on my ubuntu system. Is there a setting so the top bar and fullscreen applications are not stretched over 2 displays, but just one (left)? | 15:21 |
| fevel | I need automatix to get pissed off | 15:21 |
| jac | jrib: thanks for that | 15:21 |
| fevel | on updates | 15:21 |
| apollo | Ok dont use automatrix, but back to the point why does it ask me for the password when i try to use terminal | 15:22 |
| ikonia | fevel: 1.) thats a pointless comment - not needed 2.) moderate your language it's uncalled for 3.) if you don't have anything worthwhile to say - don't, the channel is busy enough | 15:22 |
| Jay955 | i have samba but i still don't see my shared drive on the xp side of the network | 15:22 |
| ikonia | apollo the first time you use a sudo command it witll authenticate you | 15:22 |
| fevel | ok | 15:22 |
| ikonia | apollo: this is a good thing | 15:22 |
| jac | jrib: I just found this - its pretty much what I was after!:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DIYMarketing, thanks again | 15:22 |
| bazhang | apollo automatic will break your install | 15:22 |
| jrib | apollo: it doesn't. It will only ask for your password if you try to do something that requires admin access (ie you use sudo) | 15:22 |
| fevel | so how do I convert to mpeg4? | 15:22 |
| ikonia | fevel: mencoder, acidrip, dvd::rip | 15:22 |
| kimrhh | aren't digest error supposed to disappear when you apt-get update ? | 15:22 |
| bluephantom | !jrib | bluephantom | 15:23 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: http://andycas.pri.ee/files/logs1 | 15:23 |
| jrib | bluephantom: eh? | 15:23 |
| apollo | ok but when i try to enter the password then I cant do anything | 15:23 |
| apollo | accept hit enter | 15:23 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: the gw is wrong, right? | 15:23 |
| ikonia | apollo: what command are you trying to do, exactly | 15:23 |
| ikonia | apollo: your password will not be echo'd | 15:23 |
| fevel | ikonia, thanks!! youre the man! | 15:23 |
| jrib | apollo: you just type your password and hit enter. It won't show you typing anything | 15:23 |
| apollo | so it wont show up as i write it | 15:23 |
| apollo | ohhh thanks i got it | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: 1.) don't konw why you have 2 routed exactly the same 2.) can you ping the 254 gateway ? | 15:24 |
| jrib | apollo: yes. But as a new linux user you shouldn't be needing to do this | 15:24 |
| apollo | well im trying to learn terminal | 15:24 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: yes, i can ping .254 | 15:24 |
| allquixotic | Hello; what is the name of the process that corresponds to the Gnome desktop, e.g. icons and the wallpaper? gnome-panel, gnome-session, and gnome-settings-daemon are running, but I have a black background with no icons when I try to view the desktop | 15:24 |
| jrib | !cli > apollo (read the private message from ubotu) | 15:24 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: .254 is the real gateway i want it to use, also i can access routers web config | 15:24 |
| jrib | allquixotic: nautilus | 15:24 |
| apollo | so thank you very much for the help.! | 15:24 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: ok - so you can ping your gateway - that means your machines networking is spot on (apart from having he same route 2 times ???) so the problem after that is outside of ubuntu and down to the device .254 | 15:25 |
| jba2g | hey guys, i just deleted a faulty ubuntu partition off of a dual-boot computer and now i cant get into vista at all c.c Does anhyone know how to restore its boot so i dont have to reinstall ubuntu right now? | 15:25 |
| jba2g | i dont want to ask on windows channels and get harassed for using linux again | 15:25 |
| jay956 | is there a mirc i can use for ubuntu | 15:25 |
| bazhang | ##windows jba2g? | 15:25 |
| ikonia | jba2g: boot of the windows boot cd and use /fixboot from rescure options or use a dos disk with fdisk /mbr | 15:25 |
| jrib | jay956: why? linux has plenty of nice irc clients. Have you tried xchat? | 15:25 |
| dgjones | jay956, xchat | 15:25 |
| ikonia | jay956: xchat/xchat-gome/irssi | 15:25 |
| allquixotic | jrib: ok, then nautilus is not starting for me, on Gutsy. it did start when I did a clean install, but now it doesn't. I just installed ubuntu-backport-modules, pulseaudio and a few other things from official Ubuntu repos | 15:26 |
| niuq | hi | 15:26 |
| _guest_ | Jack_Sparrow: The libgl1 is the only one installed, but it still has the same problem | 15:26 |
| jba2g | ikonia: ok.... so if i dont have either of those with me because im not at home, i have no hope | 15:26 |
| niuq | how can i mount a .iso? | 15:26 |
| fevel | ikonia, so I can use mplayer to convert? | 15:26 |
| ForsakenSoul | can someone tell me how i can access the files i shared in ubuntu from a windows pc | 15:26 |
| jay956 | ok thanks | 15:26 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: are you referring to those 2 last lines? | 15:26 |
| ikonia | jba2g: not really, unless you join ##windows and see if they have a better solution | 15:26 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: 0.0.0.0 etc.. | 15:26 |
| ForsakenSoul | i type the ip of the ubuntu pc but i want a user and a pass ? | 15:26 |
| fevel | ikonia, wat would you suggest | 15:26 |
| jba2g | *shudder* | 15:26 |
| fevel | ikonia, *what | 15:26 |
| jrib | allquixotic: what does 'gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktopt | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _guest_: Still have lots more to do... | 15:26 |
| jrib | allquixotic: what does 'gconftool-2 -g /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop' return? | 15:26 |
| jba2g | it feels like a sin just being on a #windows room | 15:26 |
| ikonia | fevel: maplyer is the player - mencoder command line, or acidrip or dvd::rip is a gui tool | 15:26 |
| allquixotic | jrib: true | 15:27 |
| jba2g | its bad enough im using vista | 15:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _guest_: I am trying to find my notes on that card | 15:27 |
| * sev___ ask, if there is console mail manager | 15:27 | |

| bluephantom | jrib:i use putty on windows connect port 22, and type user and password , but can't login, Is not i must alter some file? | 15:28 |
| allquixotic | jrib: it terminated the nautilus that I started on the CLI. but I had no desktop before and after starting this instance | 15:28 |
| bluephantom | jrib:is there some wrong with User Configuration? | 15:28 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: the first route is also wrong, it should have gw to .254, or is it linked with that 0.0.0.0? | 15:28 |
| ikonia | bluephantom: is sshd listening on your server | 15:28 |
| jrib | bluephantom: I asked you to tell me what happened when you tried to 'ssh localhost' on the ubuntu machine but you never responded | 15:28 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: no - the first one looks fine | 15:28 |

| pirate | ForsakenSoul: You need to set up a user/pass. Check the ubuntu website for instructions on setting up samba. | 15:29 |
| ikonia | bluephantom so if you can connect, then your user password must be wrong | 15:29 |
| allquixotic | jrib: ok, I amend my previous statement: after the pkill, I did not restart nautilus; now I have restarted it, and it popped up the file browser AND... my desktop!!! | 15:29 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: so, how to fix it? | 15:29 |
| bluephantom | jrib: sorry , there so much text , i have not see it | 15:29 |

| ikonia | Andycasss: your only issue with that routing table is the duplicate entry | 15:29 |
| Andycasss | ikonia: the duplicate | 15:29 |
| allquixotic | jrib: I'm not sure why it doesn't like to start immediately after boot -- when I first logged in on this boot, gnome-settings-daemon didn't want to start either; this may be due to pulseaudio | 15:30 |
| pirate | !samba > ForsakenSoul | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Andycasss: delete one route, but I don't see how you've got the two duplicates | 15:30 |
| allquixotic | jrib: but thanks! the temporary fix for me is just to kill all the nautiluses and restart ;) | 15:30 |
| jrib | allquixotic: don't know about it, check bugs.ubuntu.com maybe | 15:30 |

| MasterShrek | broken__, gcc -V 3.4 will allow you to compile using gcc 3.4 | 16:05 |
| MasterShrek | broken__, but i dont konw how to make it default to 3.4 | 16:05 |
| serenityUK | joshuaN,where 1 is the ID from the scan | 16:05 |
| cannontr | i know nick, we may just rebuild | 16:06 |
| broken__ | MasterShrek, hmm ok. | 16:06 |
| csb0 | anyone knows if there's a simple package for me to download, or how i do to tunnel vsftp through ssh, etc? | 16:06 |
| broken__ | MasterShrek, thanks. | 16:06 |
| serenityUK | joshuaN, if it works by command you can set in a file to default every boot | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | ahh broken__, just symlink /usr/bin/gcc to /usr/bin/gcc-3.4 instead of /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 | 16:06 |
| nickrud | broken__: you could simply export CC="gcc-3.4" , or maybe change the gcc link to point to gcc-3.4 | 16:06 |
| broken__ | oh ok, makes sense. | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | broken__, although that may render it useless, i dont know lol | 16:06 |
| jrib | cannontr: if you need this system to be reliable, then yes reinstall | 16:06 |
| MasterShrek | broken__, just make sure you remember you did that in case you end up having to change it back | 16:06 |

| MrKnights | Hello, erm i have a problem i've just install ubuntu on my pc on my seond partition, first contains windows vista basicly i wanna dual boot but i think i installed the mdr in the wrong place because i dont get grub i'v tryed configured windows boot loader with nerogrub to fix the problem but i'm kinda stuck any ideas? | 16:07 |

| majorjrk | i just need to zip it so i can transfer via smb, it wont let me upload folders only single file | 16:08 |
| Stormx2 | MrKnights, and yet windows boots up automatically without offering to load ubuntu? | 16:09 |
| MrKnights | nickrub: both opertating systems are on one hard disk | 16:09 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, samba wont allow you to upload folders? thats very strange | 16:09 |
| serenityUK | joshuaN, does it have an ID like 2 or 7? with ur neighbours wireless? i'd have to boot my laptop to check | 16:09 |
| erUSUL | majorjrk: use tar... "tar -cvf file.tar dir/" | 16:09 |
| MrKnights | Stormx2: yes i tryed fixing it though | 16:09 |
| Stormx2 | MrKnights, you followed the instructions in the wiki? | 16:10 |
| Andycasss | When trying to boot i get "unable to start a standalone server: address already in use" then it halts for about 10 min and then restarts with some networkmanager errors. I think pureftpd and mail server are conflicting. Sometimes it boots nicely too... | 16:10 |
| joshuaN | theres 'Cell 01' | 16:10 |
| joshuaN | there's channel '1' | 16:10 |
| erUSUL | MrKnights: maybe you instaled grub on the second partition mbr?? mark the ubuntu partition as the bootable one then? | 16:10 |
| MrKnights | Stormmx2: no i didn't, i didn't even look for it. i figured grub would override the mdr as normal | 16:10 |

| cannontr | jrib, thankyou for the suggestion. The current situation is the website that is running on it is working perfectly. If I reboot remotely and it does not come up again, I am stuck until tuesday until we can get someone onsite. I've just spoken to our ISP and we've opted to leave it up and running and do a rebuild on tuesday | 16:18 |
| majorjrk | MasterShrek: where do i input username and password ? | 16:18 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=pass //ip/share /mount/point | 16:18 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, you can even add an entry to /etc/fstab if you want it to auto mount all the time: //ip/share /mount/point smbfs username=user,password=pass 0 0 | 16:19 |
| DRebellion | majorjrk: you should try cifs (as opposed to smbfs) first. | 16:19 |
| xGeek | MasterShrek: will that work without the username and password is windows has simple file sharing enabled? | 16:19 |
| MasterShrek | good point DRebellion, i always forget about cifs now | 16:19 |
| MasterShrek | xGeek, not sure, wasnt aware it was a windows server | 16:19 |
| xGeek | This is in my case. | 16:19 |
| xGeek | Samba has always been a headache for me. | 16:20 |
| majorjrk | bah i made mountpoint root | 16:20 |
| xGeek | Let me rephrase. Samba has always been a headache for me when going from a linux computer to a windows computer. | 16:20 |
| int[w] | hello | 16:20 |
| MasterShrek | xGeek, samba is nice if you understand how its doing what its doing, unfortunately i dont have any experience with a windows server and a linux client, the opposite really | 16:20 |

| int[w] | any aplication i try to install i get | 16:21 |
| int[w] | This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'mplayer' the conflicting software must be removed first. | 16:21 |
| int[w] | Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict | 16:21 |

| int[w] | can somebody please help ? | 16:21 |
| nickrud | majorjrk: sudo chown <you>:<you> /path/to/folder | 16:21 |

| csb0 | (this is probably a dumb question, but that can't be helped.) i have just set up an ubuntu LAMP server. if critical patches for apache2 etc comes out, will my box be automatically patched? if not, what do i need to do to accomplish this? | 16:22 |
| majorjrk | or wait, mount wasnt root, but i still cant do anything inside it | 16:22 |
| MasterShrek | int[w], use synaptic for your package management? | 16:22 |
| edju | let me try that again. Just installed libdvdcss2 and mplayer, stuck in a dvd and got 'error opening/initializing the selected videoout (-vo) device." Any takers?l | 16:22 |
| int[w] | it won't install from there either | 16:22 |
| serenityUK | int[w], are you using add/remove from the menu? | 16:22 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, just use sudo when copying your files, it probably has to do with the permissions of the mount point before it was mounted | 16:22 |
| int[w] | yes | 16:22 |
| ThipThip | I'm just about at my wits end with embedded videos - they just appear gray. I cannot seem to figure this one out. There are many having the same problems on the forums, but the suggested fixes seem haphazard and none have worked for me. | 16:22 |
| nickrud | csb0: critical patches will be offered to you from the gutsy-security repo, make sure that it's enabled in the updates tab of system->admin->software sources | 16:23 |
| int[w] | it's a new installed system | 16:23 |
| int[w] | i tryed to install mplayer and i got that | 16:23 |
| int[w] | i tryed amarok .. same | 16:23 |
| MasterShrek | xGeek, for the windows as a client, i usually map the network drive, and click "use a different username and password" then on the linux box: sudo smbpasswd -a user and create a samba password for a present user | 16:23 |
| csb0 | nickrud, thanks, but i only have ssh access. how do check that this is enabled (and if it isn' | 16:23 |
| csb0 | t, enable it) from the command line? | 16:23 |
| MasterShrek | int[w], have you tried: sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade? | 16:23 |

| majorjrk | ahh finaly it works | 16:24 |
| int[w] | yes ... | 16:24 |
| nickrud | csb0: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list , remove the # from any line with gutsy-security in it | 16:24 |
| Duke_Fluke | edju, do you have the file .mplayer/gui.conf in your home dir? | 16:24 |
| csb0 | nickrud, thanks! | 16:24 |
| Andycasss | When trying to shutdown i get "Stopping domain name service . . . bind" and then it just hangs there for about 10 minutes and then shuts down? Whats wrong? | 16:24 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, do you have a dns server on that machine? if not you can probably remove it | 16:24 |
| edju | Duke_Fluke, No, just config | 16:25 |
| MasterShrek | well, its obvious you have a dns on it, but do you use it is the question | 16:25 |
| Duke_Fluke | edju, check out this link then http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/mplayer-error-message-error-openinginitializing-video-out-device-458293/ | 16:25 |
| int[w] | will try that serenityUK , thank you | 16:25 |
| Andycasss | MasterShrek: i do have a dyndns updater on my system, but i dont know anything about dns server | 16:26 |
| csb0 | nickrud, just a final question to make sure i get this important part right: merely uncommenting that line will make sure patches are automatically installed once they are released? i don't have to run some update command with cron or somesuch? | 16:26 |
| xGeek | SWEET | 16:26 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, is your system acting as a router? | 16:26 |
| nickrud | csb0: the default is offering, but you'd have to manually install the updates. You can change that to automatically updating apache2 from the security repo by editing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades | 16:26 |
| MasterShrek | must be... | 16:27 |
| edju | Duke_Fluke, thanks.will do. | 16:27 |
| Andycasss | MasterShrek: no, it acts as a server | 16:27 |
| |Whitor| | Hi, I just moved a hard drive from one laptop to a very similar laptop (t61 to a t61p) Most things are working fine... but some are not... is there any way to force Ubuntu to re-setup the hardware portion of the OS ? | 16:27 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, because if its not, i dont think dyndns needs to be on that, i think dyndns is supposed to be on your router, could be wrong though | 16:27 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, unless you dont have a router i guess... | 16:27 |
| nickrud | csb0: um, I'm not sure if the server runs a regular check for updates automatically though. | 16:28 |
| ComputerHermit | hello ubntu | 16:28 |
| Duke_Fluke | basically it says to create the aforementioned file in your home dir and make sure the file has the line vo_driver = "xv" | 16:28 |
| Duke_Fluke | edju | 16:28 |
| DRebellion | MasterShrek: nah, dyndns offer software that you run on your computer to update their dns entries. | 16:28 |
| MasterShrek | |Whitor|, the hardware drivers are loaded on the fly during boot up i think, which hardware specifically isnt working properly? | 16:28 |
| MasterShrek | i was not aware DRebellion | 16:28 |
| DRebellion | MasterShrek: and then there's only a handful of 'officially registered' routers. | 16:28 |
| Andycasss | MasterShrek: no i need the dyndns to update nameservers so that people can connect on my dynamic ip | 16:28 |
| xGeek | MasterShrek: a lot of new routers also have sofware built in | 16:28 |
| csb0 | nickrud, i don't have any 50unattended-upgrades file in that directory. i have 01autoremove, 01ubuntu, 05aptitude, and 70debconf | 16:29 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, i do the same thing, but its set up in my router not on my server | 16:29 |
| csb0 | nickrud, what would be the command to check for updates, then? so i can put it as a cron job | 16:29 |
| Whitor | MasterShrek: Weird things... like the volume buttons on the keyboard | 16:29 |
| MasterShrek | Andycasss, but i dont even know if thats your problem, it might not even be the dns part of the shutdown that its hanging on, but rather wahtever is after it | 16:29 |
| nickrud | csb0: there's a package called unattended-upgrades (just found it) that's what you want | 16:29 |
| bahadunn | greetings | 16:30 |

| bahadunn | how can I take a ubuntu package and turn it into a debian package? | 16:30 |
| MasterShrek | bahadunn, it already is, hence the .deb | 16:30 |
| bahadunn | I need libapache2-mod-layout 5.0 which ubuntu has a .deb for but debian does not | 16:30 |
| bahadunn | MasterShrek: yes but that does not mean that ubuntu's package is okay to use on debian | 16:31 |
| MasterShrek | compile it from source then | 16:31 |
| nickrud | bahadunn: if in doubt, find the source package and build it on debian | 16:31 |

| MasterShrek | DrainBamage, one day...what kind of programming? chances are youll need a toolchain | 16:40 |
| quittt | hi | 16:40 |
| Kloss | serenityUK: ok i see. thank you. bye... | 16:40 |
| quittt | I changed a grub menu but always I do update-grub I get a wrong configuration | 16:40 |
| quittt | how do I change it? | 16:40 |
| cellofellow | quittt: can you elaborate? | 16:40 |
| MasterShrek | DrainBamage, check in #ps3dev if they cant help you there, theyll probably point you to somewhere u can get help | 16:40 |
| DrainBamage | hey! thanx | 16:41 |
| nickrud | quittt: could you put the menu.lst on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 16:41 |
| quittt | I added another partition between Ubuntu and Windows and because of it the Ubuntu partition one changed | 16:41 |
| DrainBamage | thanx MasterShrek. | 16:41 |
| dazjorz | Somebody? :/ | 16:41 |
| quittt | so I need to change (0,1) to (0,2) | 16:41 |
| quittt | but always I do update-grub, the wrong configuration goes back again | 16:41 |
| DrainBamage | masterShrek. if you know maybe something about accesing the RSX gpu on ps3? | 16:41 |
| MasterShrek | DrainBamage, although i dont know if the ps3 is capable of running unsigned code at the moment, but i read that it may be getting custom firmware in the near future | 16:41 |
| MasterShrek | no idea about that DrainBamage, i have yet to purchase my 3 | 16:42 |
| === jeroen__ is now known as KenSentMe_ | ||
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, can you be more specific? | 16:42 |
| zoli2k | Hi! how can I redirect an output of a command with sudo to a root privileged file. "sudo foo > spam" doesn't work. | 16:42 |
| majorjrk | MasterShrek: i get cp: writing `winmaskin/camtur.tar': Input/output error ||| Do you think this could be due to Wifi trouble ? | 16:42 |
| DrainBamage | masterShrek: i dont have one either. but the university bought 30 of them :D want to make a cluster :D | 16:42 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: That'll be hard, I don't know what causes this, either | 16:42 |
| DrainBamage | thanx anyway | 16:42 |
| * erUSUL the package in proposed busted my flash install :( | 16:42 | |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: It "just reconnects" | 16:42 |
| majorjrk | my files only transfer 5-8 mb before they halt, and the error comes after a slight pause | 16:42 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, possibly, although doubtful, try copying just that file by itself | 16:42 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I am connected to the WPA-PSK secured DaZjorz network, then put the interface down and tell it to connect to FON_DaZjorz | 16:43 |
| === spec-x is now known as Spec | ||
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, what does that mean "it just recconnects"? | 16:43 |
| quittt | do you have an idea? | 16:43 |
| MasterShrek | DrainBamage, thats so incredibly sexy i dont know what to say haha | 16:43 |
| nickrud | lol erUSUL see my last about proposed :) | 16:43 |
| MasterShrek | 30 ps3's in a cluster....mmmz | 16:43 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Then I check iwconfig, and it indeed shows essid=FON_DaZjorz but the card shows it's not associated | 16:43 |
| DrainBamage | ;o) just showing off :) | 16:43 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Then I check iwconfig again, and it's connected back to essid=DaZjorz | 16:43 |
| dazjorz | http://paster.dazjorz.com/?p=2140 | 16:43 |
| bulmer | zoli2k-> that should have worked, what was your exact command? | 16:43 |
| ctrader | anyone familiar with DHCPD? | 16:43 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, what kind of nic is it and what driver are you using? | 16:43 |
| MasterShrek | ctrader, client or server? | 16:43 |
| DrainBamage | byee | 16:44 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: It's a Netgear with an Atheros chipset, I'm using madwifi | 16:44 |
| ctrader | server | 16:44 |
| * cellofellow just put a hold on flashplugin-nonfree untill further notice. :) | 16:44 | |
| MasterShrek | nope, sorry | 16:44 |
| MasterShrek | !dhcp | 16:44 |
| ubotu | dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP | 16:44 |
| ctrader | I want to know if there is a way to display option 82 information in the leases file? | 16:44 |
| quittt | nickrud, did you understand it? | 16:44 |
| nickrud | Quicksilva: did you put up the link to the pastebin, I missed it if you did | 16:44 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, can you pastebin the output lspci? | 16:44 |
| nickrud | Quicksilva: sorry, quittt see above | 16:44 |
| ctrader | Is there another channel I can join that might know more about networking/DHCPD? | 16:45 |
| zoli2k | bulmer: It can not work, because only the command is executed as root. The result is piped with the original user rights. | 16:45 |
| cellofellow | ctrader: I've not use dhcpd, but dnsmasq does the trick for me. It's pretty much the same thing you find on Linksys routers, but more configurable. | 16:45 |
| MasterShrek | ctrader, #networking | 16:45 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Yes, sure :) | 16:45 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: You're probably just interested in the line that describes the interface | 16:45 |
| dazjorz | 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5212/AR5213 Multiprotocol MAC/baseband processor (rev 01) | 16:46 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, cool thx | 16:46 |
| bulmer | zoli2k-> and what is stopping you from then chmod the file used ? | 16:46 |
| ctrader | my reason for wondering is that I would like to know from what device a remote device is connecting up from. | 16:46 |
| quittt | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54342/ | 16:46 |
| quittt | nickrud, everything is correct, besides that... maybe because Ubuntu wants to control it | 16:47 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, have you had problems from the start with this card? or did it work for a while and just started messing up? | 16:47 |
| majorjrk | I need files from my ubuntu to my vista laptop, this ubuntu computer is kinda broken, lots of things are messed up, i cant get samba working properly, can anyone recommend the easist and fastest foolproof way of transfering those files, security is not an issue | 16:47 |
| === jeroen__ is now known as KenSentMe | ||
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: It worked fine, and it still does, except for when I want to connect to a different network like this | 16:47 |
| bulmer | ctrader-> what do you mean what device the remote is connecting from? dhcp is normally localized | 16:47 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I'm even using it right now | 16:47 |
| serenityUK | nickrud, did you see the ircstats for last month.. during certain hours of the day you had more lines than ubotu! | 16:47 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: After I put back the interfaces with the old "DaZjorz" settings, it simply reconnects | 16:48 |
| DRebellion | majorjrk: netcat | 16:48 |
| pq-tmp | I have some problem with framebuffer console | 16:48 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: but when I ifdown the interface, put an interfaces there with dhcp, then set essid to FON_DaZjorz, it connects back to DaZjorz | 16:48 |
| csb0 | nickrud, configure-index is empty and 50unattended-upgrades tell me nothing about how often this is run. is there any other way i can see this? | 16:48 |
| === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth | ||
| cellofellow | majorjrk: OpenSSH on the Ubuntu computer and WinSCP on the Vista computer should do the trick. | 16:48 |
| quittt | nickrud, linux partition is not hda2 anymore | 16:48 |
| quittt | it is not hda3 | 16:48 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, you've totally lost me | 16:48 |
| majorjrk | cellofellow: this means i must use the shell a lot and configure etc ? | 16:48 |
| ctrader | I have remote switches that people can connect through. I would like to be able to look in the leases file and see the option 82 information so I can see from what switch the connected and got an IP. | 16:48 |
| quittt | but it insists that it is hda2 | 16:48 |
| bulmer | majorjrk-> if you have one of those external usb drive..quickest way i knew of | 16:49 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: The situation is a little complicated | 16:49 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I have a network DaZjorz, a network DaZjorz2, and a network FON_DaZjorz | 16:49 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: The first two are WPA-PSK encrypted, the third one is open | 16:49 |
| cellofellow | majorjrk: not at all, install the ssh server, and then login with your regular username and password using WinSCP, it's all graphical. | 16:49 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, so far so good | 16:49 |
| majorjrk | bulmer: i do, but will ubuntu write to that without messing up, not sure if its fat or ntfs | 16:49 |
| nickrud | quittt: could you put the complete error from sudo update-grub on the pastebin as well | 16:49 |
| cellofellow | majorjrk: WinSCP can have an explorer-like or commander-like interface. | 16:49 |
| Bora | take that | 16:49 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Now, I'm connected to DaZjorz, which works just fine, I have an /etc/network/interfaces that describes how to connect to it (wpa-psk etcetera) | 16:49 |
| bulmer | ctrader manage your switch, look into the configs of the swith, is it doing the dhcp serving? | 16:49 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Only, I want to connect to FON_DaZjorz | 16:49 |
| quittt | nickrud, there is no error | 16:49 |
| nickrud | serenityUK: I think ubotu was down a lot :) | 16:49 |
| int[w] | solved ... seeps sources.list was all commented since the install took place | 16:49 |
| int[w] | have a nice day/evening | 16:50 |
| quittt | nickrud, I mean, the error is the mistake made | 16:50 |
| int[w] | bye | 16:50 |
| SexyJames1337 | hi there, im totally new to linux but i was going to install ubuntu on my brothers pc because his xp is corrupted. do you think its a good idea? i loaded up the cd and the screen went corrupted for a minute or 2 before it worked, is that normal or is that a sign of bad things to come maybe? | 16:50 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: So I ifdown the interface, move the interfaces file and put in an empty one, then ifup it and make it connect to FON_DaZjorz by writing: sudo iwconfig ath0 essid FON_DaZjorz | 16:50 |
| majorjrk | cellofellow: ill try that if i cant use my external drive | 16:50 |
| ctrader | I can set it up for l2relay | 16:50 |
| quittt | nickrud, if I change it, and save and make update-grub, it goes back! | 16:50 |
| cellofellow | majorjrk: that should work just fine. :) | 16:50 |
| majorjrk | can i use a ntfs external drive and transfer from ubuntu ? | 16:50 |
| pq-tmp | I want to set a 16:10 framebuffer resolution for console (for example 1440x900), but no VESA 16:10 mode works on my computer | 16:50 |
| bulmer | majorjrk-> what files you need transfered over to the external USB drive? usualy a vfat format is adequate | 16:50 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Then I check iwconfig ath0, and it first shows it's trying to associate with FON_DaZjorz, and five seconds later it's associated to DaZjorz, the old network | 16:50 |
| nickrud | quittt: a sec, I'm checking a couple things in mine | 16:50 |
| ctrader | I have a central server that does the dhcp serving | 16:51 |
| majorjrk | bulmer: well, the drive is ntfs, and im not gonna wipe it clean | 16:51 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Surprisingly enough, it also says the key is off, so it's not actually connected, since the network has WPA | 16:51 |
| bulmer | majorjrk-> if the ntfs-3g is supported on your installed ubuntu, its possible | 16:51 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, can you try switching the essid on the routers? | 16:51 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Only the essid and AP change to indicate it's trying to associate with the wrong network, another network than the network I gave it to connect to | 16:51 |
| bulmer | majorjrk-> which ubuntu version you have installed? | 16:51 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: That's impossible | 16:51 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, linux can read/write ntfs these days | 16:51 |
| majorjrk | feisty i believe | 16:51 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I can't change the name of FON_DaZjorz | 16:51 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, oh? why? | 16:51 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, the boot logo doesn't work on mine I get a blank screen but everything else is perfect.. i think it is the monitor mode or something.. you can disable the logo and see the boot text instead | 16:51 |
| cellofellow | majorjrk: just install ntfs-3g | 16:52 |
| MasterShrek | majorjrk, that should be sufficient for ntfs-3g | 16:52 |
| bulmer | majorjrk-> am not sure about feisty, i know am sure of gutsy having the ntfs-3g support stock | 16:52 |
| pq-tmp | someone can help me with framebuffer? | 16:52 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, have you tested FON-DaZjorz with another client? | 16:52 |
| MasterShrek | you can easily install ntfs-3g on feisty | 16:52 |
| majorjrk | do i need to mount my external disk and etc ? | 16:52 |
| quittt | nickrud, very bizarre | 16:52 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: OK, thanks. by installing it shouldnt have any chance of breaking my brothers computer in any way should it? sorry to ask the noobish questions but ive used windows all my life... | 16:52 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I've been connected to it before... but I *might* just be able to ask a family member for her laptop and see if I can connect | 16:53 |
| cellofellow | bulmer: majorjrk: I use ntfs-3g on Feisty and Gutsy. | 16:53 |
| bulmer | majorjrk-> yes you must mount external drives | 16:53 |
| nickrud | quittt: change # groot=(hd0,2) | 16:53 |
| nickrud | quittt: pretty sure that will fix it | 16:53 |
| majorjrk | well, i have no clue how do to that | 16:53 |
| SexyJames1337 | judging from booting it from cd, it looks quite good | 16:53 |
| bulmer | cellofellow-> not on the gutsy i installed, it had ntfs-3g already | 16:53 |
| nickrud | csb0: looking | 16:53 |
| Duke_Fluke | Duke_Fluke, thats the first thing I would do make sure its not a problem with the access point first | 16:53 |
| bulmer | cellofellow-> i read you wrong..nm | 16:53 |
| ctrader | bulmer: I have a central server that does the dhcp serving | 16:54 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz | 16:54 |
| dazjorz | hmmhm | 16:54 |
| cellofellow | bulmer: I had to install it in Feisty, yes, but it worked swell. | 16:54 |
| dazjorz | I'll ask her, be right back | 16:54 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, thats the first thing I would do make sure its not a problem with the access point first | 16:54 |
| quittt | nickrud, done | 16:54 |

| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, aslong as you don't install ONTOP of windows lol. are you familiar with partitions? when you install you can either let it use the free space from windows automatically or you can set up a separate partition ahead of time if you know what you want | 16:54 |
| bulmer | ctrader-> and how is that integrated to your switch? | 16:54 |
| quittt | do you knwo how to mount BeOS partition? | 16:54 |
| KELEBEK605USER2 | Hello | 16:55 |

| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: I think the drive might actually be wiped | 16:56 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, is there any important data on the disk? any files you need to backup? | 16:56 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, if you can't do that then I would try to change the essid of FON(ie the one that DOESN"T work) to the essid that does work temporarily to test | 16:57 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, make sure all settings are identical | 16:57 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: Nah, i did that already using knoppix, thanks for asking. Turned out the hard drive was broke, so we got a replacement. the recovery discs are faulty though i think and xp will not reinstall over it, it started and got part way through then failed. ubuntu should be able to still install though shouldnt it? | 16:57 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: The hard drive works now of course | 16:58 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I can't change the essid of FON_DaZjorz, and can't change any other settings about it | 16:58 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Also, I'm quite sure this is really a problem on this client | 16:58 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, well if there is nothing on the disk you need you can tell Ubuntu to use the whole disk when you install and overwrite any broken windows install | 16:58 |
| dazjorz | I'm getting the idea some daemon is interfering, a network manager or something like that, but I have none running, also checked with ps | 16:58 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, ok...can you test with another os then? | 16:59 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, windows or a livecd? | 16:59 |

| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: yes i can | 16:59 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, you've got to isolate the problem somehow | 16:59 |
| jtt | any way to do a sound recording with a usb headset to test mic | 16:59 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: yes :/ | 16:59 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, why can't you change the essid? | 17:00 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: because it's fixed in the router | 17:00 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, yes just double click.. it will ask a few questions about ur language and town not too hard | 17:00 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: it's a Fonera, it sends out a FON network and a private network | 17:00 |
| nickrud | csb0: I'm not real good at reading python but I *think* you need to add /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade to a cron. beware of this advice, check it out | 17:00 |

| * cellofellow has 1280x800 and Nvidia 6100 | 17:03 | |
| cellofellow | have a look at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer | 17:04 |
| serenityUK | pq-tmp, if you enable the restricted drivers you will be able to set the mode properly.. click on System->Admin->Restricted Driver and tick the box to enable... after reboot type sudo nvidia-settings and you will have a nice control panel! make sure you press the button to save changes to xorg.conf when done | 17:04 |
| Iradigalesc | Is it possible to see the ubuntulog source code? | 17:04 |
| cellofellow | serenityUK: that's for X.Org, we want the Kernel stuff. | 17:04 |
| pq-tmp | Xorg works well, I'd like to have a better resolution on console | 17:04 |
| nickrud | hmm | 17:05 |
| serenityUK | ooooooooooooooooooh | 17:05 |
| serenityUK | sorry | 17:05 |
| serenityUK | i think the highest is 1280x1024 | 17:05 |
| cellofellow | why the heck aren't there widescreen framebuffer modes? | 17:05 |
| pq-tmp | I've already commented out vesafb from blacklist | 17:05 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, have you tried wicd? | 17:05 |
| bulmer | ummfft opera causing issues on firefox with a citrix client... lest I clean up opera's images directory, firefox access to citrix is dead. | 17:05 |
| cellofellow | It can do a 1280x1024x32 no sweat, but not a 1280x800x32? | 17:05 |
| cellofellow | now, I've heard nvidiafb doesn't play nice with the binary nvidia X11 drivers. | 17:06 |
| pq-tmp | same here, 16:10 resolutions doesn't work at all (unrecognized video mode or similar error) | 17:06 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Yay, I'm now connected through FON_DaZjorz | 17:06 |
| Leechzilla | Screen Resolution: 1920x1200 (32 bits) | 17:06 |
| fitztrev | What's the cp argument to accomplish this (or any other command)? If the destination has a file that the source does not, it should be deleted. | 17:07 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: I didn't do anything special | 17:07 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, excellent :) | 17:07 |
| cellofellow | we need to loby Linus to add more fb modes or something. | 17:07 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, ? | 17:07 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, I'm more interested in what you did do :) | 17:07 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: Well it just worked, almost the same way as I worked before | 17:07 |
| dazjorz | Duke_Fluke: iwconfig ath0 mode managed key off | 17:07 |
| dazjorz | iwconfig ath0 essid FON_DaZjorz | 17:08 |
| dazjorz | and then it associated | 17:08 |
| wolfman2323 | hi.. how could i install this >>> ubuntu_glossy_orange_gdm.tar.gz | 17:08 |
| Duke_Fluke | dazjorz, ok well I'm happy you got it working | 17:08 |
| dazjorz | me too :) | 17:08 |
| csb0 | nickrud, thanks. from just running /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade it doesn't seem like there's too many options you can give it. i think i'll stick it in a cron file and hope for the best. | 17:09 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, is that a new login window? | 17:09 |
| wolfman2323 | yesh .. i think so.. | 17:10 |
| wolfman2323 | seren.. actually i just wanna have a new theme... | 17:10 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, goto System->Admin->Login Window.. click on local tab you can see a list.. click Add button and browse | 17:10 |
| wolfman2323 | seren.. im just 10 days old using ubuntu | 17:10 |
| wolfman2323 | wait | 17:10 |
| Duke_Fluke | wolfman2323, wow you're the first baby i've known to use Ubuntu ;) | 17:11 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, gdm is usually for the login.. where you choose name and password.. if you want a desktop theme that is different | 17:11 |
| bader_ | hello | 17:11 |
| serenityUK | welcome | 17:11 |
| wolfman2323 | seren. i just did what uve said... brb | 17:11 |
| Duke_Fluke | bader_, howdy | 17:12 |
| wolfman2323 | seren!.. it worked.. thanks! | 17:12 |
| wolfman2323 | seren..how about themes??? | 17:12 |
| bader_ | I would like to ask....is it possible to read arabic of mirc? cuz it doesn't seem to work for me tried a couple of programs but nothing is working....could anyone recommend me one? | 17:12 |
| cellofellow | pq-tmp: maybe uvesafb will work | 17:12 |
| cellofellow | pq-tmp: just looking it up | 17:12 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, ok if you want a new desktop goto www.gnome-look.org and look at GTK themes for panels and Metacity themes for the title bars | 17:13 |
| pq-tmp | cellofellow uvesafb is said to work, but hasn't been included in the kernel provided with gutsy | 17:13 |
| cellofellow | :( | 17:13 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, you can do the titlebars seperately from the main panel themes in gnome | 17:13 |
| bader_ | am using gusty btw | 17:13 |
| pq-tmp | cellofellow i cannot afford to patch and compile kernel | 17:13 |
| rich__ | without using synaptic is there a way of searching for packages in the source list? | 17:13 |
| wolfman2323 | seren.. so gtk. is for themes.. thanks!.. brb | 17:14 |
| bader_ | hello could anyone help ??? | 17:14 |
| cellofellow | neither can I. Is the slightly older vesa-tng available? | 17:14 |
| Duke_Fluke | bader_, as far as I know mirc is windows only | 17:14 |
| pq-tmp | vesa-tng is unstable, and the kernel has to be patched too | 17:14 |
| wolfman2323 | seren : thanks.. | 17:14 |
| cellofellow | :( | 17:15 |
| bader_ | Duke_Fluke, yeab i've used xchat nd pidgin but they don't seem to work with arabic characters | 17:15 |
| _elemental | rich_ apt-get and aptitude (cli) both support tab completion and will show you packages that match your string | 17:15 |
| SoerenW | can ubuntu's installer resize ntfs-partitions? | 17:15 |
| cellofellow | nvidia may have the best-performing drivers, but their way too closed-source to be useful sometimes. | 17:15 |
| cellofellow | SoerenW: yes | 17:15 |
| babo | the cd/dvd creator in gnome. Will that burn iso's ? | 17:16 |
| babo | it just says write cd ? | 17:16 |
| rich__ | elemental, using which switch? | 17:16 |
| bader_ | Duke_Fluke, could u recommend me some other irc cliends that might work??? | 17:16 |
| rich__ | apt-get install tab doesnt work | 17:16 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, GTK2 1 is very old lol | 17:16 |
| _elemental | rich_ no switch needed sudo aptitued install foo <tab tab> will either complete the package name or give you a list of all possible matches | 17:17 |
| rich__ | its just listing my PWD | 17:17 |
| jukilo | ddd | 17:18 |
| serenityUK | wolfman2323, when you want to install goto System->Prefs->Appearance and click install button | 17:18 |
| Duke_Fluke | bader_, check out this link http://www.eglug.org/book/export/html/564 | 17:19 |
| ryanpg | hi all... getting ready to build a kernel for my laptop, checking lshw I find that I have both an ISA and an IDE controller, this laptop has SATA - do you think I need to build ISA and IDE support? or is that some artifact of the motherboard or controller that is unused | 17:19 |
| rich__ | i think its apt-cache | 17:19 |
| vegpuff | hi, my live cd is getting hung | 17:19 |
| bader_ | Duke_Fluke, thanks | 17:19 |
| vegpuff | i would like to install ubuntu via command mode | 17:19 |
| vegpuff | how do i do it | 17:19 |
| pepperjack | !alternate | vegpuff | 17:19 |
| Duke_Fluke | bader look at this part -->choose UTF-8 from the "Character set" dropmenu in order to type and view Arabic messages | 17:19 |
| genii | ryanpg: Since most sata controllers also have ide emulation for compatability mode, compiling it in is not a bad idea | 17:19 |
| vegpuff | pepperjack, ah should i download another iso? | 17:19 |
| pepperjack | vegpuff: yeah id grab the alternate install cd | 17:20 |
| pepperjack | vegpuff: its basically the old installer pre livecd | 17:20 |
| ubotu | vegpuff: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal | 17:20 |
| wolfman2323 | seren..how about icons | 17:20 |
| rich__ | does anyone know how to search for a package? | 17:21 |
| ryanpg | genii, really? hrm... I don't think I need "compatibility" since all the components are Intel or TI - what is "compatibility" with? | 17:21 |
| ryanpg | genii, I mean everything seems to be well supported and fully functional | 17:21 |
| lollo | !warcraft | 17:21 |
| ubotu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 17:21 |
| lollo | GENNARO GATTUSO EEEEHEEEEEH OOOHOOOH | 17:21 |
| koko___ | [rich__] , apt-cache search package | 17:22 |
| genii | ryanpg: When your sata controller does not have a native driver for instance, you use compatability mode to make it appear as a regular ide drive. | 17:22 |
| Gattuso | bella | 17:22 |
| * lollo applaude | 17:22 | |
| rich__ | yeah ive got it man, cheers anyway | 17:22 |
| ryanpg | genii, ahh... so in my case it probably isn't necessary to include IDE support | 17:22 |
| genii | ryanpg: When in doubt as to whether you need a certain function, compile it as a module. Then you can load it later if it turns out to be neccesary | 17:22 |
| Gattuso | mamma mia quanto parlano sti ubuntisti | 17:22 |
| ryanpg | what about ISA? is there a reason to compile kernel ISA support these days? I haven't seen an ISA bus in years? | 17:23 |
| Gattuso | qual'è il canale italiano?? | 17:23 |
| koko___ | !it | 17:24 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 17:24 |
| genii | ryanpg: ISA driver still needs to be compiled usually, since the plug and play detection system for things like souncards etc etc were originally written around them. Even if the new card for instanc e uses a pci slot | 17:24 |
| ryanpg | genii, lol, wow, ok well thanks very much for the info - I'm often surprised how much "legacy" there is in modern hardware | 17:25 |
| genii | ryanpg: np As i said, when in doubt, compile as a module, etc | 17:25 |
| Sjimmie | QUESTION: What do you use for iPod syncing? (assuming you have an iPod and use ubuntu =)) | 17:25 |
| Duke_Fluke | Sjimmie, amarok | 17:25 |
| Vegasmac | im dual booting into XP and Ubuntu and want to remove ubuntu and GRUB but last time I did this I was unable to boot into XP anymore and had to recover my system. How can I remove GRUB and Ubuntu without messing up my booting of windows? | 17:26 |
| Sjimmie | hmm, is that better then gtkpod? because I'm not happy with that Duke_Fluke | 17:26 |
| Duke_Fluke | Sjimmie, I used to use gtkpod too...amarok is WAYYYY better IMHO | 17:26 |
| Sjimmie | I'm gonna give it a go :) | 17:26 |
| ryanpg | genii, good advice, but being able to simply ignore ISA would speed up compile time and allow me to also ignore a ton of configuration options :) | 17:26 |
| Sjimmie | thanks Duke_Fluke :) | 17:27 |
| ryanpg | or IDE or whatever | 17:27 |
| Duke_Fluke | Sjimmie, np :) | 17:27 |
| RoBzZ | So, I have a ubuntu server what client can I use for windows that will allows me to run commands. Like the terminal server client, I guess. | 17:27 |
| genii | ryanpg: Yes, hand-configuration can be tedious :) | 17:27 |
| serenityUK | i heard the new Rhythmbox has a mozilla plugin to understand itms:// itunes links for podcasts in webpages | 17:27 |
| Duke_Fluke | RoBzZ, vnc | 17:28 |
| SexyJames1337 | Ive just installed ubuntu, never used it before. Started it up for the first time and i got the error: Overfrequency: Please change display mode. what does that mean and how do i do that? | 17:28 |
| RoBzZ | Duke_Fluke: Thanks a lot buddy :D | 17:28 |
| WorkingOnWise | has anyone here compared google desktop to tracker? | 17:28 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Digg it! http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Hardy_Heron_Alpha_4_Released | 17:28 |
| genii | Vegasmac: The basic procedure is boot to Windows cd, repair mode. Then some commands like fixmbr. For more info since this is not a Windows support channel, ask in ##windows | 17:29 |
| Otacon22 | otacon22@ubuntu:~$ python | 17:29 |
| Otacon22 | bash: /home/otacon22/bin/python: cannot execute binary file | 17:29 |
| Otacon22 | what is this?????????? | 17:29 |
| RoBzZ | Duke_Fluke: RealVNC? | 17:29 |
| Duke_Fluke | RoBzZ, that will work | 17:29 |
| RoBzZ | Ok cheers | 17:29 |
| WorkingOnWise | FunnyLookinHat: arrrggg I just installed alpha3!!! Oh I gotta read those release schedules better!!!! | 17:29 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, which video card do you have? | 17:29 |
| genii | Otacon22: It means the file you are trying to tell python to run is not written in python, but is a binary executable | 17:30 |
| Otacon22 | yes yes | 17:30 |
| Otacon22 | excuse me | 17:30 |
| dissident | can someone help me please : i have to do ctrl-d every time i boot up, cause system says: fcheck died from error 8 (or so) | 17:30 |
| Otacon22 | i'm so stupid | 17:30 |
| dissident | but then my intern sata is not mounted | 17:30 |
| Duke_Fluke | Otacon22, no you're not | 17:30 |
| Otacon22 | thanks XD | 17:30 |
| amb1 | is possible to install java EE if i' am only using alive cd | 17:31 |
| dissident | I guess it has something to do with that card | 17:31 |
| white_eagle | guys I'm installing ubuntu at a friend of mine and I want to know, should I use ext3 as the primary and ext2 for the root file system or reverse | 17:31 |
| amb1 | i mean is it possible | 17:31 |
| white_eagle | ? | 17:31 |
| ompaul | amb1, yes, and you really don't want to unless you got huge bandwidth and massive ram it will kill your box | 17:31 |
| Flannel | amb1: Yes. But you may run out of memory (since you most likely just have your RAM) | 17:32 |
| Vegasmac | genii: i figured it would be appropriate to ask here as well considering I'm trying to remove grub and ubuntu without screwing up my windows boot, thanks for the info. | 17:32 |
| csb0 | is all the stuff in /etc/init.d/ run at boot time? | 17:32 |
| genii | Otacon22: Or since the python file you are trying to run is in your home dir it may not be set executable, or else you have the wrong location specified | 17:32 |
| serenityUK | white_eagle, just use ext3 | 17:32 |
| Vegasmac | :) | 17:32 |
| xxBasYxx | Hi i have new Ageia PhysX card, is there any chance to work with my Ubuntu 64.bit? i can't find anything helpfull and Ageia has no support for Linux:( | 17:32 |
| white_eagle | serenityUK, how do you mean use ext3/ | 17:32 |
| white_eagle | ? | 17:32 |
| white_eagle | ext 2 should not be used? | 17:32 |
| WorkingOnWise | white_eagle: imho, the only file system to use is either ext3 or reiser. the journals make things soooo much faster for fsck's | 17:32 |
| Jay955 | being new to this i must be missing something..... i'm trying to setup ubunto as a file server where i can store files (pic mp3 and doc file) on it, in order to free up my other systems (xp) | 17:32 |
| Otacon22 | genii, i solved: i have a bin folder in my home dir | 17:32 |
| amb1 | oh ok tnx for the info | 17:32 |
| white_eagle | and where should I put the root file system?? | 17:33 |
| genii | Vegasmac: No worries :) But they will definitely be able to assist more in the ##windows channel since it is all stuff that needs to be done from there of course | 17:33 |
| serenityUK | white_eagle, ext2 is older ext3 is better at recovering large partitions. I don't use ext2 anymore | 17:33 |
| white_eagle | .. | 17:33 |
| Rufus__ | if I download a compiz plugin, how do I install it? | 17:33 |
| white_eagle | root = where? | 17:33 |
| saa1 | can someone help me with getting compiz-fusion to work? | 17:33 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: I have an FX5200. its still loaded up ok, it just said that while it loaded with the ubuntu logo at the start. its now on the log in screen and displays fine, and the error has gone | 17:33 |
| Rufus__ | saa1, whats wrong with it? | 17:33 |
| Jay955 | my problem is that i can't access my secondary harddrive on ubunto | 17:33 |
| ctrader | white_eagle: install root as an ext3 partition | 17:34 |
| saa1 | i have it installed and everything, and when i try to enable the desktop effects, it won't work | 17:34 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, oh so it was a monitor message? | 17:34 |
| Duke_Fluke | Jay955, how are you accessing it? | 17:34 |
| WorkingOnWise | white_eagle: put root on a partition....I don't understand what u mean by "where" | 17:34 |
| Rufus__ | are the plugins installed? | 17:34 |
| white_eagle | ok | 17:34 |
| saa1 | it says desktop effects could not be enabled | 17:34 |
| Duke_Fluke | Jay955, can you post 'sudo fdisk -l' output? | 17:35 |
| SexyJames1337 | i think it was referring to the monitor. not sure if the monitor itself or ubuntu was giving the message. might have been the monitor. while it loaded it flickered and overlayed that message, and now it has disappeared and its displaying ok. but is it possible it would damage my monitor if i dont do something about it? | 17:35 |
| tokok | is it possible to use full 3D videocard capabilities in virtual machine? | 17:35 |
| Jay955 | i tryed throw my xp network or map but nothing | 17:35 |
| Jay955 | i see both drives on utunto | 17:35 |
| chris710 | hi,is there anyone to help me to configurate compiz and/or emerald with xfce? | 17:36 |
| Duke_Fluke | Jay955, So ubuntu sees the drive but you cannot mount it? | 17:36 |
| white_eagle | and now, I have one "Linux" partition as ext3 40 gigs, I have an ext3 "root" partition 2150 MB and I have Linux Swap 300 MB, is that ok? | 17:36 |
| saa1 | (11:35:24 AM) SexyJames1337: i think it was referring to the monitor. not sure if the monitor itself or ubuntu was giving the message. might have been the monitor. while it loaded it flickered and overlayed that message, and now it has disappeared and its displaying ok. but is it possible it would damage my monitor if i dont do something about it? ----- it | 17:36 |
| ctrader | anyone know how I can recover an LVM? I had LVM setup across two drives. I mistakenly reinstalled ubuntu on the first drive of the LVM. Will I be able to get any information off of the second drive of the LVM? | 17:36 |
| saa1 | *it is an entirely new computer | 17:36 |
| kevin__ | does anyone know how i can get the pixel shaders working on my geforce 4 ti4600 in ubuntu? i have the nvidia glx driver installed and basic 3d works fine | 17:36 |
| white_eagle | ... | 17:36 |
| saa1 | it's a laptop, actually | 17:36 |
| Jay955 | i have it mounted no problem i created folders to use | 17:36 |
| Rufus__ | how can I use the compiz switcher function? | 17:37 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, It sounds like it was built into the monitor... you can disable the logo by editing a text file... also you might want to install the nvida drivers for smooth video playback or 3D stuff like compix-fusion | 17:37 |
| neverblue | !flash | 17:37 |
| Jay955 | i just can't see them on the xp side | 17:37 |
| ubotu | 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 » | 17:37 |

| danand | Jay955 - ok have you tried to set up a samba server on your ubuntu box? | 17:38 |
| serenityUK | white_eagle, I have 10gb for programs and stuff because root is also used for tmp files and things you will need atleast 5 | 17:38 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: ive started it up and its all going ok. it tells me theres restricted drivers available, should i download them? | 17:38 |
| babo | anyone ? | 17:38 |
| Jay955 | yes i have | 17:38 |
| WorkingOnWise | white_eagle: it this going to be your primary OS? | 17:39 |
| NOob | First time on IRC since the game called ARC | 17:39 |

| Jay955 | from ubunto i can see both my xp computer browse and dump file but not the other way | 17:40 |
| Jay955 | i'm not sure i just installed it | 17:40 |
| Jay955 | how can i check | 17:40 |
| danand | NOob - Yes | 17:40 |
| ctrader | Can I recover anything from the second drive of an LVM if I reformatted the first drive? | 17:40 |
| NOob | Thanks! | 17:40 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, yes enable restricted drivers and reboot, then you can use the nvidia control panel to set up the screen/brightness etc... type sudo nvidia-settings once you have installed/rebooted and press the button to save to xorg.conf once you are happy with the screen mode | 17:40 |
| esc | hi, i tried to enable eye candy , and it says it can't do it | 17:40 |

| NOob | I have only about 4 gigs free space will I be able to run ununtu as live cd? I heard it is bad to live cd because I wont be able to save anything, how much space do I need to actually install the thing? | 17:41 |
| pepperjack | esc: oh sorry i wont be any help with ati | 17:41 |
| esc | apparently radeon has support for 3D etc.. | 17:41 |
| WorkingOnWise | white_eagle: what do u plan on doing with the 40gig partition? if it were my box and I were giving that much space to a secondary OS, I would give root maybe 20, the "Linux" partition 20, and the rest to swap. I know it sounds heavy on swap. but I have actually used over 1gb of swap on here...better safe that sorry. | 17:41 |
| esc | pepperjack: any idea where i could go to find out? | 17:42 |
| white_eagle | WorkingOnWise, nevermind :) | 17:42 |
| danand | Jay955 - ok, did you edit your /etc/samba/samba.conf file and update the samba password data base?? | 17:42 |
| siddhant | NOob : yes you can run the live cd. and to install it, u need 4gb. (or 2 maybe, dont remember the exact figure) | 17:42 |
| NOob | Oh thank you | 17:42 |
| white_eagle | root 20????? | 17:42 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: ok. does flash not work at the moment with firefox then, is it still broken like the title says? | 17:42 |
| ASTX813 | When you enable remote desktop using the "Remote Desktop Preferences" app, what exactly does that do behind the scenes? I'd like to enable it on a headless machine, but it's a catch-22 | 17:42 |

| NOob | So ubuntu will give me the whole linux system? Does it have firefox and nmap and perl and all those cool things that linux advertises that made me ditch windows? | 17:42 |

| danand | Jay955 - this may be your problem (we hope ;)) - after samba is installed you need to edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf file - then (and this is the bit I overlooked first time :) ) you need to update the samba password file | 17:45 |
| LordOfThePigs | Where are documentations usually stored? | 17:45 |
| WorkingOnWise | the hatchet blade musta hit the powersupply | 17:46 |

| BronxAngel | 7.04? do they have a live cd? | 18:18 |
| cellofellow | cmna: ok. It's one of the xorg.conf drivers. | 18:18 |
| FuriousGeorge | i use linux (usually gentoo) as a server and my home desktop. im installing a point of sales system for a client, which supports linux and im naturally gonna go with *buntu | 18:18 |
| FuriousGeorge | but it needs to print to a network printer | 18:18 |
| FuriousGeorge | i have no experience with this in linux | 18:18 |
| BronxAngel | y would anyone stay at 7.04? is gutsy buggy? | 18:18 |
| FuriousGeorge | i should worry about which printer i buy, right? | 18:18 |
| R_Rios | cr, d'you speak english? | 18:19 |
| cellofellow | cmna: if you want to run an X program on a headless server, there is a "fake" X server that I can't remember at the moment, has the letters x, f, and b in it though. | 18:19 |
| XBehave | network printers should work fine with linux, | 18:19 |
| R_Rios | FuriousGeorge, prefer HP ones | 18:19 |
| FuriousGeorge | XBehave: ANY network printer | 18:19 |
| danand | Jay955 - that would be the problem! You can make your folder 'browse-able' but i wouldn't recommend - when you 'map network drive' in windows enter the username and password of the users folder you are trying to access in ubuntu | 18:19 |
| Oni-Dracula|lapp | BronxAngel, i have pressed canonical versions... I upgraded using update-manager to 7.10 | 18:19 |

| FuriousGeorge | xxBasYxx: is that some sort of 'math co-processor', im just guessing but drivers might be tough | 18:20 |
| NOob | it doesnt work | 18:20 |
| FuriousGeorge | xxBasYxx: would that work in a chrooted 32-bit linux? | 18:20 |

| NOob | it didnt open | 18:21 |

| BronxAngel | iambernie: i get the same issue. could be bad actionscriot programming | 18:29 |
| Unxuxu | I forgot about that | 18:29 |
| blergh | hmm, when mounting by label, should the fstab still relatively equal the mtab? my mtab isn't showing the labels as mountpoints, rather the physical drive location | 18:29 |
| iambernie | BronxAngel: Thanks m8, in that case I'm probably not going to spend more effort solving it. | 18:29 |

| FunnyLookinHat | Digg it! http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Hardy_Heron_Alpha_4_Released | 18:31 |
| zombie_monkey | guys, is it possible that a bios form 2003 has the 1024 cylinder problem? I hve installed both arch and then ubuntu but when I pick them from the boot menu I only get a blinking cursor in the top left corner | 18:32 |
| dennis_ | How can you modify DTST? | 18:32 |
| soundray | zombie_monkey: I wouldn't say it's impossible, but your fault description doesn't indicate that the cylinder boundary is the issue | 18:33 |
| soundray | dennis_: do you mean DSDT? | 18:33 |
| Pici | FunnyLookinHat: Please don't do that. | 18:33 |
| jevangelo | is there a soulseek client for ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| zombie_monkey | soundray: well what I did was install them in a partition at the end and then I dded the first 512 bytes, put them in the C:\ directory of XP and added the line C:\linux.bin="LInux" to boot.ini | 18:34 |
| jevangelo | im searching for murmur and museekd in synaptic package manager and cant find anything | 18:34 |
| serenityUK | BronxAngel, this tutorial is a bit old but I hope it sets you on the right track http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_pxe_install_server | 18:34 |
| soundray | zombie_monkey: I guess if you just let grub take over your MBR, you'd be fine | 18:35 |
| Jay955 | <danand> still not working i will take a look later thanks for your help | 18:35 |
| HarleY_ | Does anyone know if the bnx2 kernel module supports the Broadcom 5751 or only the 5708 in Dapper 6.06.2 | 18:35 |
| zombie_monkey | soundray: yeah, I looked for BIOS upgrades but none of them seem to aderess the 1024 issue, so maybe that's not the problem | 18:35 |
| soundray | !info museekd | jevangelo | 18:36 |
| ubotu | jevangelo: museekd (source: museek+): Client for the SoulSeek peer-to-peer network (server daemon). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.12+svn.20070430.r667-1 (gutsy), package size 419 kB, installed size 1136 kB | 18:36 |

| xybre | I install the flash-nonfree package and when I go to a flash page in firefox it tells me I still need flash. | 18:37 |
| Pici | !flashissue | xybre | 18:37 |
| Gibb | How do I clear network settings dealing with WPA passwords and wifi access points? I made a setting for wifi and now its not booting properly | 18:37 |
| ubotu | xybre: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 18:37 |
| Unxuxu | Hi... I had installed some TrueType fonts, and used fc-cache to update the system... but now... I cant open my firefox... shows me an error about arial 12... but I dont have changed this font... | 18:38 |
| soundray | Gibb: be a bit more specific about the boot problem please | 18:38 |
| BronxAngel | serenityUK: ok, thanks. i was thinking more like creatig an answer file and making my own cd | 18:38 |
| xybre | Jeez, I've been trying off and on to find a solution for a week. Google fails at finding stuf liek this. | 18:38 |
| dennis_ | soundray : Yes srry i found a file on google i'm reading now ...think this can work | 18:39 |
| Gibb | soundray: its happened twice with two different installs - right after I make changes to the wifi setup, it hangs on cupsd on startup. If I remove the printer service, it hangs up after I login with no error | 18:39 |
| kenan | for some reason my version of libc6 is 2.7 when it should be 2.6, this is causing a lot of problems for me, is there a way i can downgrade the version without it removing all the programs that depends on libc6? | 18:39 |
| shadowh511 | u can't | 18:40 |
| soundray | Gibb: how long have you waited for it to time out on the hang? | 18:40 |
| kenan | how come this version is installed on my system and not 2.6 | 18:40 |
| serenityUK | kenan, you can downgrade but it will affect the programs | 18:40 |
| Gibb | soundray: bout an hour or two | 18:40 |
| Micro | Is there a network install disk for Ubuntu 7.10? | 18:40 |
| kenan | why would ubuntu install this version? | 18:40 |
| soundray | Gibb: ok, that's sufficient... | 18:40 |
| soundray | Gibb: but recovery mode still works? | 18:41 |
| Gibb | soundray: I bet I can fix it if I can wipe the network changes I made. I got the live cd booted, what do I delete to get rid of those changes? | 18:41 |
| Gibb | I didnt try recovery because im a command line newb | 18:41 |
| Rufus_ | how can I search for direcotrys? | 18:41 |
| serenityUK | kenan, did you install it as a .deb file separately to make something work? I did that before | 18:41 |
| soundray | Gibb: remove 'auto wlan0' (or other interface name) from /etc/network/interfaces | 18:41 |
| kenan | serenityUK: i might have =( | 18:42 |
| soundray | !install > Micro, please read the private message from ubotu | 18:42 |
| Gibb | soundray: awesome! is it a file? | 18:42 |
| tyrone | hi i am running ubuntu 7.10 nad my sound has always worked fine but suddenly today it stopped working i don't know why I dual-boot with vista and it works fie there. Can anyone help me please? | 18:42 |
| dennis_ | If i need to modify the DSDT , do i need to recompile the kernel? | 18:42 |
| HarleY_ | exit | 18:42 |
| serenityUK | kenan, I googled for it and found it in debian unstable.. it worked then ubuntu wanted update the old one and it reverted grrrrr | 18:42 |
| BronxAngel | serenityUK: i like this one better especially the part about modifying the preseed file https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization | 18:42 |
| soundray | dennis_: no | 18:42 |
| HarleY_ | sorry | 18:42 |
| Rufus_ | how can I search for direcotries? | 18:42 |
| Rufus_ | directories* | 18:43 |
| kenan | serenityUK:crap, so what are my choices | 18:43 |
| betatest20 | tyrone: did you try alsamixer and check if the according sliders aren't pulled down? | 18:43 |
| rich__ | i just did an upgrade and now flash doesnt work properly. | 18:43 |
| TeMagic | Hello everybody! | 18:43 |
| dennis_ | soundray how can i do without recompiling than. i got a file that tells me how to extract, modify and then recompile which i don't want | 18:43 |
| rich__ | any ideas how i check what was installed and why once again its messed up my system | 18:43 |
| TeMagic | Just got ubuntu installed, and boy was it a much easier procedure than installing openSUSE on my Dell XPS M1330 | 18:43 |
| Gibb | soundray: you rock. It has all of the specific changes I mad right there. can I just delete that whol file? | 18:43 |
| TeMagic | :9 | 18:43 |
| serenityUK | BronxAngel, yes respin is quite new... you can change the default user settings | 18:44 |
| soundray | Gibb: better not. You want to keep the loopback device | 18:44 |
| Rufus_ | how can I search for files? | 18:44 |
| soundray | dennis_: you do want to compile the DSDT, but not the kernel | 18:44 |
| Gibb | soundray: theres a few lines with my wpa changes under "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" can I get rid of all that? | 18:44 |
| Pici | Rufus_: From the shell? | 18:44 |
| Rufus_ | yeah | 18:44 |
| serenityUK | kenan, does it want to remove a lot of software ? surely not much relies on the new one... you could reinstall it again after the update | 18:44 |
| dennis_ | soundray . i got the modified DSDT files . how do i recompile then? | 18:45 |
| soundray | dennis_: check if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ACPIBattery | 18:45 |
| Pici | Rufus_: find /dir/to/search/in -name "something*" switch to -iname for case insensitive searching. | 18:45 |
| xybre | I hate having to sign up for a forum just to download a file or something >.< | 18:45 |
| soundray | Gibb: why don't you just remove the auto line? It won't attempt to bring up the interface on boot after that. Then you can make the required changes from the running system. | 18:46 |
| TWP-SirStaal | I am fixing the problem with ubunto gutsy gibbon flash ... but how do I get access to the cache director? | 18:46 |
| Gibb | soundray: ok. is the auto line supposed to be on the bottom? | 18:46 |
| TWP-SirStaal | Can't create the folder required for it. | 18:46 |
| soundray | Gibb: but to answer the question: you can in principle remove everything that pertains to the problem interface. | 18:46 |
| serenityUK | BronxAngel, if they have IDENTICAL hardware there is also an opensource ghost type program... I think it is called clonezilla | 18:46 |
| soundray | Gibb: it can be anywhere in the file | 18:47 |
| TeMagic | I have a bit of a problem folks, I can't seem to enable 3d view on the chess game in gnome, I have nvidia 8400M GS graphic card, and have installed the nvidia proprietary driver. Any ideas? thanks | 18:47 |
| Gibb | soundray: ok, im gonna remove the line and reboot off the live cd | 18:47 |
| JewStyleKungFu | what do you do on ubuntu when everything stops responding? | 18:47 |
| soundray | Gibb: no, try rebooting from HD -- it should work after the change | 18:48 |
| rich__ | which you had winxp | 18:48 |
| Amaranth | JewStyleKungFu: What do you mean? | 18:48 |
| Gibb | soundray: ack. its saying I dont have access to save it. Ill mess with the permissions | 18:48 |
| serenityUK | Crtl-Alt-Backspace should get you back to the login prompt | 18:48 |
| rich__ | jewstykejungfu - wish that you had windows | 18:48 |
| soundray | JewStyleKungFu: reboot with Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen R E I S U B | 18:48 |
| soundray | Gibb: call the editor with gksudo | 18:48 |
| JewStyleKungFu | I can move my mouse around, but no amount of mouse clicking will actually cause the OS to respond... | 18:48 |
| Gibb | soundray: nice, how do I do that with the xunbuntu interface? | 18:49 |
| projektdotnet | Just had that happen to me and had to hard-reboot | 18:49 |
| Leechzilla | Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarted my system instead of only gdm, 2 days ago. Broke my 2 month uptime. | 18:49 |
| serenityUK | JewStyleKungFu, try crtl-alt-backspace that gets back to login without rebooting the machine | 18:49 |
| BronxAngel | serenityUK: wouldn't linux pick up any hw differences any ways? i mean, if i clone pcs with different hw | 18:49 |
| TeMagic | anybody? I don't mean to be a troll, so if I'm a repeater, please correct me:) | 18:49 |
| soundray | Gibb: 'gksudo gedit /mnt/etc/network/interfaces' or in a terminal 'sudo nano /mnt/etc/network/interfaces' | 18:49 |
| blergh | is there a way to list uuid outside of blkid and /etc/disks/by-uuid or whatever the second is? | 18:50 |
| JewStyleKungFu | thanks serenity | 18:50 |
| serenityUK | BronxAngel, yes linux is quiet resilient because there is no licence issues... I have moved hard drives between different motherboards... but you may have different screen settings or other issues maybe? | 18:50 |
| JewStyleKungFu | man, I like that so much better than ctrl+alt+del on windows....because I didn't pay for it | 18:50 |
| TWP-SirStaal | Thanks guys I fixed flash player now. | 18:51 |
| soundray | TeMagic: please repeat after 10 minutes of waiting -- other people will have joined within that time | 18:51 |

| AsakuroX | neverblue: what do you mean? | 19:02 |
| Rufus_ | a certain program? | 19:02 |

| popey | Rufus_: ogg works on windows if you install the codec :) | 19:03 |
| pike_ | avery: sudo apt-get install openssh-server then just make sure port22 is forwarded if you are behind a router | 19:03 |
| Rufus_ | whats the codec? | 19:03 |
| misteralexander | hello. How do I make a ".run" file work? I downloaded a video linux driver from ATI and that's the file extention it's in. | 19:03 |

| lousygarua | anyone wants to help me test my new jabber account? | 19:06 |
| rokra | please is it possible to install ubuntu on a usb key? | 19:06 |
| neverblue | lousygarua, setup a jabber server ? | 19:06 |
| misteralexander | MASTERSHREK => nothing happens, i type that and hit enter and nothing happens, it just returns a blank line like nothing happened. | 19:06 |
| Limez | What's the name of the linksys usb driver? | 19:06 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: now GParted finds two of my harddrives, but where do i find the options to mount them? | 19:07 |
| MasterShrek | misteralexander, it should, but its executable now so you can run it | 19:07 |
| misteralexander | MASTERSHREK => Oh, well shit. Okay, let me try it. | 19:07 |
| Pici | !language | misteralexander | 19:07 |
| ubotu | misteralexander: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 19:07 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, so it sees the devices, so you can mount them with 'mount' (man mount) and add them to your /etc/fstab, to appear permanently | 19:07 |
| SoulWip | .net | 19:08 |
| LockesRabb | hi, how do i fix my keyboard short-cuts? | 19:08 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: i'll try that! :) | 19:08 |

| rich__ | can anyone tell me why flash plugin for firefox no longers work after i did a system update | 19:08 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, if your not in a rush, take the time to learn about mount | 19:08 |
| LockesRabb | hi, how do i fix my keyboard shortcuts? | 19:08 |
| neverblue | rich__, flash is a broken package | 19:09 |
| rich__ | lockesrabb - system, preferences, keyboard shortcuts | 19:09 |
| rich__ | neverblue: meaning? | 19:09 |
| === maronnax_ is now known as maronnax | ||
| LockesRabb | @rich; thats what i did, but it doesn't work | 19:10 |
| neverblue | rich__, thats why its 'no longers work' | 19:10 |
| lousygarua | neverblue, no - i created an account on a public server and i have no idea if it works | 19:10 |
| lousygarua | neverblue just need someone to 'hello world' me | 19:10 |
| linux1 | serenityUK i just get Cannot stat /var/cahce/debconf/config.dat: No such file or directory Cannot stat /var/cahce/debconf/config.dat: No such file or directory | 19:10 |

| BartoloCadiz | hi all :) | 19:10 |
| rich__ | so how do i fix it, i have tried reinstalling java and flash and no joy | 19:10 |
| zombie_monkey | how can I disable eth0 from getting an ip through dhcp? | 19:10 |
| LockesRabb | @rich, have u attempted reinstallin the browser, then java and flash? | 19:11 |
| neverblue | rich__, there is no 'fix' as of yet, but read the next post | 19:11 |
| neverblue | !flash | rich__ | 19:11 |
| lousygarua | neverblue haha! the server just hellowed me automatically | 19:11 |
| ubotu | rich__: 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 » | 19:11 |
| lousygarua | neverblue thanks anyway :) | 19:11 |
| neverblue | lousygarua, there ya b m8y! | 19:11 |
| LockesRabb | how can i fix my keyboard shortcuts? i set them, but they aren't working... | 19:12 |
| dennis_ | soundray you here? | 19:12 |
| misteralexander | MASTERSHREK => i made a post. This is what I'm seeing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54371/ | 19:13 |
| LockesRabb | for an offical support channel, not much support here :\ | 19:13 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: it says mount: /media/sda1 is no block unit | 19:13 |
| MasterShrek | misteralexander, run it from a terminal: sudo ./file.run | 19:13 |
| MasterShrek | misteralexander, or: sudo sh file.run | 19:13 |
| LockesRabb | how can i fix my keyboard shortcuts? i set them, but they aren't working... | 19:13 |
| misteralexander | okay, i'll try those. | 19:13 |
| kebinusan | So I followed a guide on setting my my g15 in linux, which seemed to work fine, but I cant bind the G keys in games under Wine, any ideas? | 19:14 |
| blergh | zombie_monkey, did you try clicking on the network icon in the top right, then selecting manual config, highlighting eth0, select preferences, disable roaming an select static? | 19:14 |
| blergh | zombie_monkey, sorry if the directions are little off, not currently on ubuntu, but that is the rough idea to do it through gui | 19:15 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, please reread the rules, one of them being do not constantly repost your question | 19:15 |
| rich__ | possible for me to rollback the changes so that i can get it working how it was 5 mins ago? | 19:16 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, could you please elaborate on what you have done/what youre trying to do with your keyboard shortcuts? | 19:16 |
| misteralexander | MASTERSHREK => okay, yeah . . . that worked. It installed. Thanks. | 19:16 |
| LockesRabb | @blergh, i only did that because there seemed to be no response. as for what i've done: i went in the keyboard shortcuts manager, and set the windows key to open the panel, but when i press it, the panel doesn't open.... | 19:17 |
| LockesRabb | @blergh, i'd also like to add, i merged the two menus into one menu, so to access the menu, i click on the ubuntu logo, which brings it up. id like to be able to press the windows key to bring it up. | 19:18 |
| misteralexander | I didn't pay close enough attention, I need to "configure" an ATI video driver I just installed. How do I do this? | 19:18 |

| BelkMoose | Hi, is there a simple image editor for Ubuntu (GIMP is too complex) .. I just want to paste a few images into one picture | 19:19 |
| serenityUK | linux1, sorry i said in second message about my spelling mistake look i wrote cahce instead of cache | 19:19 |
| TexJoachim | did anyone get a hp scanjet g2710 to work with ubuntu? | 19:19 |
| hellotherehere | hi, my laptop does not recognize the lan, how to find out where is the problem? | 19:20 |
| rich__ | bloody linux, every time i update something stops working | 19:20 |
| pike_ | BelkMoose: there is a gtkpaint i think.. never tried it though | 19:20 |
| rich__ | how do i overcome these issues? | 19:20 |
| BelkMoose | hm | 19:20 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: Use gimp, once you get the idea of the menus, you will love it. Hint: Right click for quick access to menus. | 19:20 |
| BelkMoose | I can't understand GIMP | 19:21 |
| pike_ | gimp isnt that bad to learn for copy paste cutting, screenshot stuff | 19:21 |
| BelkMoose | I only use gimp for screenshots tho yea | 19:21 |
| LockesRabb | eh i dunno about that | 19:21 |
| hellotherehere | am I invisible in this channel or something? why I never get answers to anything I ask? | 19:21 |
| LockesRabb | i'm used to adobe photoshop cs2, when i tried gimp, i found it extremely complicated and very different | 19:21 |
| BelkMoose | i see you | 19:22 |
| LockesRabb | so i just installed adobe photoshop cs2 under wine | 19:22 |
| LockesRabb | ;p | 19:22 |
| BelkMoose | (Sometimes you have to wait :)) | 19:22 |
| Limez | What if I already installed lsusb but my wireless internet (linksys) usb still doesn' t work? | 19:22 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: Bring up image #1 Ctrl-c Right-click File->New (create new blank image), Ctrl-v | 19:22 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: etc.etc. | 19:22 |
| BelkMoose | ok so what's the max # | 19:23 |
| arcad3 | hi, | 19:23 |
| arcad3 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54372/ | 19:23 |
| LockesRabb | hellotherethere, the support personnel here have very slow response times, so you'll end up waiting. i had to wait 5 minutes for someone to finally realize i needed help, and when i told that someone my issue, he stopped responding. so.... patience's a virtue :-) | 19:23 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, im not on ubuntu right now, but im looking into the problem | 19:23 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, im currently at work and supposed to be investigating my own problem with redhat hence my slowness, i am sorry | 19:23 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: Once you learn the layout of the menus, it is very easy. | 19:23 |
| BelkMoose | usr13_: But I still don't understand how to move the images | 19:23 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, i have to restart but i will be back | 19:23 |
| LockesRabb | blergh, what's the issue you're having | 19:24 |
| LockesRabb | wb, blergh | 19:25 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: Try Digikam or Picasa. | 19:25 |
| BelkMoose | k | 19:25 |
| LockesRabb | blergh, what's the issue ur havin with redhat? | 19:25 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: Bring up image #1 Ctrl-c Right-click File->New (create new blank image and make it very large), Ctrl-v Bring up Image #2 Ctrl-c Go to new (Untitled image) Ctrl-v Move it to where you want it. Shift-c to crop. etc. etc. | 19:25 |
| BelkMoose | meep | 19:25 |
| BelkMoose | ok now i'm getting overwhelmed :) | 19:25 |
| LockesRabb | usr13, you're very fond of 'etc. etc.' aren't you? | 19:25 |
| LockesRabb | ;p | 19:25 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, for some reason kde/konqueror is mounting/displaying any drives with labels twice | 19:26 |
| BelkMoose | K_Nine: Picasa only comes in .exe? =/ | 19:26 |
| K_Nine | It should be in the medibuntu repos. | 19:27 |
| DEAthKA | hello | 19:27 |
| BelkMoose | eh | 19:27 |
| DEAthKA | a short question | 19:27 |
| DEAthKA | new to linux | 19:27 |
| DEAthKA | where do i find realplayer 10? | 19:27 |
| BelkMoose | hm | 19:27 |
| kapace | hello, i installed ubuntu on a secondary HD, and didn't install the bootloader, and i have winxp working, but not ubuntu | 19:27 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: Start Synaptic and enable the Medibuntu repository. | 19:28 |
| cellofellow | I have this odd problem with CUPS: it sometimes just stops (that's the status, stopped) my network printer. The printer I'm using is networked with IPP on my server, and I'm using the Raw Que driver. (Does the same thing when I set the server to be raw and the client to do the driving.) The only way to fix it is to open printers.conf, delete the status lines, and restart cups. | 19:28 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: Try it, it's easier than you think. | 19:28 |
| kapace | how can i add ubuntu to boot.ini? | 19:28 |
| BelkMoose | you shouldn't need to | 19:28 |
| LockesRabb | @blergh, have you checked fstab? | 19:28 |
| ddmdllt | kapace: boot.ini? | 19:28 |
| cellofellow | kapace: you using wubi? | 19:28 |
| kapace | i think | 19:28 |
| kapace | whats wubi? | 19:28 |
| ddmdllt | kapace: windows boot.ini? | 19:28 |
| kapace | yes | 19:28 |
| kapace | ubuntu isn't working | 19:28 |
| BelkMoose | ok maybe I am being too general when I'm saying Ubuntu then | 19:28 |
| cellofellow | kapace: it's installing Ubuntu inside windows, and yes it uses boot.ini instead of grub. | 19:29 |
| BelkMoose | I mean Kubuntu | 19:29 |
| kapace | i can't boot to it | 19:29 |
| cellofellow | !wubi | 19:29 |
| ubotu | wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html | 19:29 |
| ddmdllt | hum... you can add an entry for grub in boot.ini but it's special... | 19:29 |
| RequinB4 | kapace - try going to your system BIOS | 19:29 |
| kapace | oo, so i should just run wubi? | 19:29 |
| RequinB4 | and making sure that it boots to ubuntu first | 19:29 |
| LockesRabb | @ blergh => have you checked fstab? open /etc/fstab in a text editor and see if there's any duplicate entries | 19:29 |
| kapace | RequinB4: why would i go there? | 19:29 |
| cellofellow | ddmdllt: boot.ini can do a chainloader just like grub? | 19:29 |
| kapace | yes | 19:29 |
| ddmdllt | cellofellow: it can load the first stage of grub | 19:29 |
| RequinB4 | (02:29:01 PM) kapace: i can't boot to it - meaning ubuntu or windows? | 19:30 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: Open Syaptic, click on Settings then repositories and chech the ones not checked. Then click on search and put in Picasa and Digikam. Click on them and check install and then click on apply. | 19:30 |
| kapace | RequinB4: i can't boot to ubuntu | 19:30 |
| kapace | thus no grub | 19:30 |
| RequinB4 | kapace: where do you have ubuntu installed? | 19:30 |
| kapace | so, i think if i install wubi, it will work? | 19:30 |
| K_Nine | O. You have to click on the reload button tool. | 19:30 |
| kapace | on another HD | 19:30 |
| danand | DEAthKA - first and foremost (some might call this pedantic) you should really refer to "Linux" as GNU/Linux. Linux is just the kernel of your OS - the vast majority of the rest of the system was written by the GNU folks... Just to give credit where credits due. PS Why do you specifically want realplayer? | 19:30 |
| BelkMoose | K_Nine: Synaptic? | 19:30 |
| cellofellow | kapace: you need grub. just run the livecd and there is a script that installs grub, I think it's sudo grub-install | 19:30 |
| RequinB4 | kapace: go to your system BIOS and set it so it boots to that HDD first | 19:30 |
| kapace | during install i didn't select to install boot loader | 19:30 |
| ddmdllt | cellofellow: in fact it's necessary to put the 512 bytes in a file, and to tell to boot.ini to load the file | 19:30 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: Package Manager. | 19:30 |
| cellofellow | ddmdllt: seems pointless | 19:31 |
| BelkMoose | oh I have Adept | 19:31 |
| DEAthKA | yes | 19:31 |
| kapace | RequinB4: i don't have bootloader to my second HD with ubuntu | 19:31 |
| ddmdllt | cellofellow: only in case of problems | 19:31 |
| LockesRabb | hi. my keyboard shortcuts aren't working. I tried setting the windows key to open the main ubuntu menu via keyboard shortcut manager, but it isn't working... | 19:31 |
| RequinB4 | kapace: ah | 19:31 |
| usr13_ | BelkMoose: See: http://docs.gimp.org/en/ | 19:31 |
| kapace | so im going to try wubi now | 19:31 |
| kapace | brb | 19:31 |
| cellofellow | kapace: can you tell your bios to boot from a different HD? | 19:31 |
| kapace | yes.. | 19:31 |
| ddmdllt | cellofellow: but it should work if grub is not on the mbr too... | 19:32 |
| * cellofellow had to do that while setting up GRUB on a 2-drive system. | 19:32 | |
| kapace | but i can't get it to boot to ubuntu because it doesn't have a bootloader | 19:32 |
| cellofellow | kapace: then use the LiveCD to install it in the MBR of one of the drives. | 19:32 |
| kapace | give me a second.. my ubuntu multiboot system is nin another room :P | 19:32 |
| DEAthKA | i have evrethig i need here but realplayer | 19:32 |
| WorkingOnWise | I have gone brain dead. what is the pretty console mode file deitor with the nice drop-down menues? m something? | 19:32 |
| philip_ | Anyone know an alternative to lanschool, for linux | 19:32 |
| rsk | philip_: what's lanschool? | 19:32 |
| rinaldi_ | DEAthKA: why do you specifically need realplayer? | 19:32 |
| BelkMoose | K_Nine: hmm I am using Adept but I can't seem to find the picasa package | 19:32 |
| r3r3 | oh noeZ my flash is borked, you can t downgrade it? | 19:33 |
| DEAthKA | yes | 19:33 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: probably emacs but I've never touched it. Nano and vim don't have menus. | 19:33 |
| DEAthKA | only that piece of soft | 19:33 |
| BelkMoose | should I do Manage repositories | 19:33 |
| DEAthKA | i tried to compile | 19:33 |
| philip_ | rsk, a proprietary program used by teacher, you can control students pc remotely,..block their screens..show them your screen. | 19:33 |
| philip_ | and such | 19:33 |
| cellofellow | BelkMoose: just a suggestion, but you'll probably get better help in #kubuntu | 19:33 |
| WorkingOnWise | cellofellow: nope. this was much more DOS Edit-ish | 19:33 |
| danand | DEAthKA - why do you specifically need realplayer - do none of the other apps display what you want to look at? | 19:33 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, you just download the deb file from Google, and run it. It'll install Picasa | 19:33 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: When I click on the icon in the bottom left a program window comes up like windows. In there is my choice for package manager. | 19:33 |
| DEAthKA | but a small error and here i am trying to search a package | 19:34 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: maybe it's joe | 19:34 |
| kapace | shoot, i don't have a Cd drive on that system, can i copy WUBI to a ufd, and try it? | 19:34 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, I'll get the link, a second | 19:34 |
| rsk | philip_: try some vnc programs | 19:34 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: there are tons of CLI editors. | 19:34 |
| adys | hey there, Im having some problems installing ubuntu x64 from desktop cd - As soon as the install starts, it loads the linux kernel and then the monitor is not recognized anymore. i tried with two different monitors, with and w/o safe mode, vga etc. I got a nvidia 6600 gts | 19:34 |
| DEAthKA | i need realplayer 10...that protocol it seems | 19:34 |
| DEAthKA | 10 | 19:34 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: just see the editors section in synaptic | 19:34 |
| RequinB4 | hey adys: i had the same problem a week ago | 19:34 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, http://picasa.google.com/linux/thanks-deb.html | 19:34 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: then open a terminal and type sudo install digikam | 19:34 |
| LockesRabb | that will start the picasa download for you | 19:34 |
| BelkMoose | kkkk | 19:34 |
| adys | RequinB4, graphic card? | 19:34 |
| RequinB4 | adys: 6600 GT | 19:35 |
| adys | might be related | 19:35 |
| WorkingOnWise | cellofellow: I did, i thought for sure it was mcedit, but its not there | 19:35 |
| sharpie_ | how can i see my last boot time? (the program called hardinfo shows the 3 last boots, i wanna know where it gets that info from) | 19:35 |
| DEAthKA | i can play real 9....but not 10 | 19:35 |
| adys | i know there were similar problems last year with another graphic card | 19:35 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: here's one with a description that matches: aee | 19:35 |
| DEAthKA | curios thing but this is the reality | 19:35 |
| mage2 | I'm having troubles booting my ubuntu system. I had everything going well and then I took out a defective drive and it wouldn't boot anymore with the b0 error. I went into the livecd and reinstalled grub but it still wouldn't boot. Any ideas? | 19:35 |
| usr13_ | sharpie_: uptime | 19:35 |
| adys | RequinB4, managed to work it around? | 19:36 |
| danand | DEAthKA - have you downloaded the latest realplayer?? | 19:36 |
| === sharpie_ is now known as Sharpie | ||
| RequinB4 | adys: You need to get the right nvidia drivers, and to boot without them so you can get them you need to reconigure X. What i did was boot the alt CD, install, then get a shell to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg', use VESA drivers, then boot up and get the restricted nvidia drivers | 19:36 |
| DEAthKA | i have a link from debian package..but the link seems to be broken | 19:36 |
| Sharpie | usr13_: no, the computer boot date | 19:36 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: are you there yet? | 19:36 |
| LockesRabb | can someone help me with my keyboard shortcuts problem? | 19:36 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, yes, I am | 19:36 |
| BelkMoose | yikes i downloaded it but now I am getting errors saying "archive format not supported" | 19:37 |
| DEAthKA | and the compilation fron the realplayer site is giving me some erroes | 19:37 |
| adys | RequinB4, cheers ill try that tomorrow, ill get back to you otherwise | 19:37 |
| somnambulist | hi, does anyone know how to setup a dhcp server running on 3 NICs that will set the client's default gateway to the interface it connects on? | 19:37 |
| LockesRabb | i've been here for 15 minutes now, and have not gotten any help :-( | 19:37 |
| RequinB4 | adys: ok | 19:37 |
| BelkMoose | Is it because I tried opening a .deb with ark? | 19:37 |
| usr13_ | Sharpie: What are you looking for? | 19:37 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: then i guess you didn't see my question about GParted and Terminal | 19:37 |
| Sharpie | usr13_: a list of when the computer booted | 19:37 |
| Sharpie | usr13_: hardinfo shows it | 19:37 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, correct | 19:37 |
| neverblue | as I was busy | 19:37 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, yes, shouldn't open it with ark | 19:38 |
| DEAthKA | i have the real time kernel..but this should not be something bad | 19:38 |
| Sharpie | usr13_: i was sharpie_ before, i ghosted whoever used my nick :/ | 19:38 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, you should open it with GDebi Package Installer | 19:38 |
| WorkingOnWise | cellofellow: ty. I'll check it out...wierd I cant find mcedit. do u see it in your system? | 19:38 |
| DEAthKA | everything is working perfectly | 19:38 |
| DEAthKA | not the realplayer | 19:38 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: oh, I just remembered that mcedit is part of mc, ie midnight commander, the venerable CLI file manager. | 19:39 |
| DEAthKA | 1 h and a half anf | 19:39 |
| DEAthKA | and no result | 19:39 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: i was asking about the fstab.. it doesn't exist :S | 19:39 |
| DEAthKA | i dont know what to do next | 19:39 |
| WorkingOnWise | cellofellow: as in if i install mc, I have mcedit? | 19:39 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: I think so... | 19:39 |
| AsakuroX | also, it cant find my partitions in /media neverblue | 19:39 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, i am 100% confident fstab does in fact exist | 19:39 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: let me check something | 19:40 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, sudo nano /etc/fstab | 19:40 |
| WorkingOnWise | cellofellow: ok.... | 19:40 |
| linux1 | serenityUK sorry eating my dinner ,still not output with that spelt the right way | 19:40 |
| cellofellow | WorkingOnWise: yes, that is where you get it | 19:40 |
| ctrader | somnambulist: I am checking to see how to do it | 19:40 |
| WorkingOnWise | cellofellow: thanks... | 19:40 |
| Sharpie | A program named "hardinfo" shows a list of the last 3 times my computer booted. where does it get its info from? | 19:40 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose you can download it to a specific location, navigating to the location, running it by doin "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb" | 19:40 |
| lauren | can anyone tell me how i'd go about deleting a large amount of files in a single directory? 'rm -f *' returns "too many arguments" | 19:40 |
| somnambulist | ctrader, great, let me know what you find | 19:40 |
| BelkMoose | How big is this Picasa file? | 19:40 |
| mutual | ubuntu is for hippies | 19:40 |
| Sharpie | lauren: rm -rf ./ | 19:40 |
| Sharpie | lauren: when you're in that directory, of course | 19:41 |
| danand | DEAthKA - have you tried downloading realplayer directly? I'm sure realplayer can work installed by user (not system wide) | 19:41 |
| sfears | how do i figure out what the /dev name of my usb drive is so that i can mount it? | 19:41 |
| lauren | Sharpie, what's the -rf ./ do? | 19:41 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: do you want the output to help me further? | 19:41 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, 20.7 MB | 19:41 |
| sfears | it is not sda1 | 19:41 |
| BelkMoose | wow | 19:41 |
| sfears | at least sda1 is not found | 19:41 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, output of what? | 19:41 |
| RequinB4 | sfears - nautilus has a nice pretty picture | 19:41 |
| BelkMoose | lauren: it removes the directory | 19:41 |
| DEAthKA | solved...:) | 19:41 |
| Sharpie | lauren: -rf means that it will go recursively and delete folders as well, ./ means the current folder (../ means the previous one) | 19:42 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: of the nano etc command u sent me | 19:42 |
| DEAthKA | curios | 19:42 |
| sfears | i don't see any pictures | 19:42 |
| lauren | BelkMoose, i want to keep the directory, just remove the files, its for a web server | 19:42 |
| BelkMoose | yea I deleted /www in my web server | 19:42 |
| sfears | and that wasn't the answer to my question | 19:42 |
| DEAthKA | in 1 h | 19:42 |
| ctrader | somnambulist: are all of the clients going to be on the same subnet, sharing the same pool of IP's? | 19:42 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: It should be in the repositories. All you have to do is click apply after you search for it. | 19:42 |
| DEAthKA | thx for the help | 19:42 |
| lauren | is there a way to pipe grep output into rm? | 19:42 |
| BelkMoose | yea, but regardless, it's going to be a large file? | 19:42 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: What distro are you using? | 19:42 |
| RequinB4 | sfears: if you open nautilus there should be a list of potentially bootable stuff on the left | 19:42 |
| BelkMoose | Kubuntu 7.10 | 19:42 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: of the nano etc command u sent me | 19:43 |
| danand | DEAthKA :) | 19:43 |
| LockesRabb | Can someone help me with my keyboard shortcut problem please? It's been 25 minutes of waiting. ;p | 19:43 |
| sfears | that's not the answer to my question | 19:43 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: It is not a large file. | 19:43 |
| BelkMoose | It is if you're on dialup | 19:43 |
| DEAthKA | danand: thx man i will hang out here for long time | 19:43 |
| LockesRabb | BelkMoose, it's a small file. It only took me two seconds to download it. | 19:43 |
| sfears | how do i figure out what the /dev of my usb drive is so i can mount it? | 19:43 |
| BelkMoose | but I'm not on dialup, it just seems like it | 19:43 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: When you click on the kicker, do you see Synaptic as a choice or package manager? | 19:43 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, thats your fstab, that you mentioned wasnt there | 19:44 |
| RequinB4 | sfears: You wanted to mount it... If all you wanted was the name for soem other purpose just go to that directory and look at the files inside | 19:44 |
| BelkMoose | K_Nine: Negative | 19:44 |
| danand | lauren - you could do rm `ls | grep *jpg` - this would rm all jpg files for instance | 19:44 |
| frawfraw | can anyone try to ssh to 91.155.238.61 and tell me if you get a response? | 19:44 |
| LockesRabb | Can someone help me with my keyboard shortcut problem please? It's been 25 minutes of waiting. ;p | 19:44 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, so you have to read up on 'man mount' to find out what to do | 19:44 |
| soundray | sfears: run tail -f /var/log/syslog and observe the messages as you plug it in | 19:44 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: aha, but why is some of my partitions mentioned there but not aviable in ubuntu? :( | 19:44 |
| sfears | i tried that.. it said scsi1.. but that didn't seem to work | 19:44 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: Let me check. | 19:44 |
| ctrader | LockesRabb: what is the problem? | 19:44 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, sorry, still not in ubuntu, but here is a quick google that sounded similar http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/ | 19:45 |
| ConstyXIV | can you turn your desktop vertical in ubuntu? | 19:45 |

| kranny | i want to coonect my laptop and dektop through a lan cable | 19:45 |
| soundray | sfears: look out for a sequence beginning with /dev/sd | 19:45 |
| kranny | Both have fesity on them | 19:45 |
| danbhfive | I just got a new package for flash today | 19:45 |
| frawfraw | kranny: do you have a router? | 19:46 |
| BelkMoose | Oh I jsut installed flash through firefox's plugin finder :) | 19:46 |
| danbhfive | are you sure flash is not fixed? | 19:46 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, did you add a new HD after you installed Ubuntu ? | 19:46 |
| Zoldax_II | mn | 19:46 |
| soundray | sfears: alternatively enable automounting in System-Preferences-Removable Drives | 19:46 |
| kranny | frawfraw:no | 19:46 |
| LockesRabb | blergh => that's what i did, and that's not working | 19:46 |
| ctrader | LockesRabb: I've had troubles with the key working if you are running compiz-fusion | 19:46 |
| kranny | Just a LAN cable | 19:46 |
| frawfraw | kranny: a router is what you need. it is a little box that goes between the two computers and lets them talk. | 19:46 |
| pike_ | kranny: if its a newer lappy alot of nics do the crossover for you | 19:47 |
| LockesRabb | i think the problem is, i merged the ubuntu menus into a single panel menu | 19:47 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, i would try switching to metacity if youre not already, try the shortcut, if it still doesnt work, try something simple like map windows to play music | 19:47 |
| kranny | frawfraw:anything like adhoc network | 19:47 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, try to see if you can get the windows key to do anything | 19:47 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, if you can, then it may be the merged menus | 19:47 |
| K_Nine | BelkMoose: Try going to this page to see how to add repositories to Adept. http://www.kubuntu.org/doc/index.php | 19:47 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: aha, but why is some of my partitions mentioned there but not aviable in ubuntu? :( | 19:47 |
| kranny | pike_:uyah its a new hp v3424au | 19:47 |
| soundray | kranny: you can connect two machines directly, but you need a crossover patch cable | 19:47 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, did you add a new HD after you installed Ubuntu ? | 19:47 |
| LockesRabb | i tried using windows and tab key to switch windows via compiz fusion, works fine | 19:47 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: no i didn't | 19:48 |
| dimitri_ | what shortcut key is for change languages? | 19:48 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, i dunno then *shrugs* | 19:48 |
| pike_ | kranny: you could try just pluggint em in maybe the nic will handle it for you youd need to google the model i suppose ad hoc is easy to setup | 19:48 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, does that really matter though, now you have to find out how to set it up | 19:48 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: awmygod... what the h*ll am i supposed to do now then? | 19:48 |
| LockesRabb | blergh: i'm going to add another panel, then put the normal menus there and see if the windows key executes then | 19:48 |
| kranny | pike_:tanks | 19:49 |
| wyth | Question: Anybody on here get a Dell 530 desktop with Ubuntu pre-installed? If so, I have just a couple questions | 19:49 |
| neverblue | AsakuroX, as I have told you about 5 times now, read 'man mount' | 19:49 |
| danand | LockesRabb - I just done that - never knew it did THAT - COOL!! :) - thought i was limited to ALT-TAB | 19:49 |
| somnambulist | ctrader, i've decided to put them on different subnets, that makes it easy, thanks :) | 19:49 |
| serenityUK | linux1, have you tried rebooting? | 19:49 |
| soundray | wyth: why not just ask the questions (one at a time) | 19:49 |
| piccola | ciao | 19:49 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: ah i thought u meant 'man' = 'manually' | 19:49 |
| kranny | what is a crossover patch cable | 19:49 |
| piccola | !addon | 19:49 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about addon - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:49 |
| Stavros | how can i prevent people from reading folders they don't have access to? | 19:50 |
| somnambulist | now, what is the proper command to restart networking? i've done 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' but that didn't read the /etc/network/interfaces | 19:50 |
| linux1 | yeah thats the first thing i did | 19:50 |
| soundray | kranny: it's an ethernet cable that has two wires crossed over | 19:50 |
| TeMagic | hi again everybody | 19:50 |
| wyth | Okay, first question: Has anyone been able to get sleep/standby/hibernate to work? | 19:50 |
| linux1 | i have the porblem for a day or 2 now | 19:50 |
| frawfraw | can anyone try to ssh to 91.155.238.61 and tell me if you get a response? | 19:50 |
| TeMagic | just have a quick question, how do I run a program as root in the terminal? | 19:50 |
| LockesRabb | danand -- haha yea, there's alot it can do | 19:50 |
| soundray | TeMagic: 'sudo program' | 19:51 |
| kranny | Temagic:su | 19:51 |
| RequinB4 | !sudo | 19:51 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 19:51 |
| danand | LockesRabb - SUPER-ALT-TAB works too :) V Happy with that!! - What else?? | 19:51 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, iirc, using the system>preferences way of changing keyboard shortcuts is bound to system defaults, ala pause is for rhythmbox so using compiz or new menus still might not work if im correct | 19:51 |
| frawfraw | TeMagic: sudo some_command | 19:51 |
| soundray | kranny: do not recommend su please | 19:51 |
| TeMagic | tgank | 19:51 |
| TeMagic | thanks | 19:51 |
| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 19:51 |
| LockesRabb | blergh -- i just added new panel, added normal menus to it, still didn't work | 19:51 |
| jpatrick | !noroot | kranny | 19:51 |
| ubotu | kranny: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 19:51 |
| pankos | hello | 19:51 |
| kranny | sorry everyone | 19:51 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, i would try opening rhythmbox, binding windows key or windows key plus some letter to play and testing that | 19:51 |
| Cpudan80 | I'm having trouble with XChat, it has a weird directory in /<home>/.xchat2/scrollback -- it's called "FreeNode?" | 19:51 |
| RequinB4 | hello pankos | 19:52 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, could also try binding windows key to the screensaver | 19:52 |
| Cpudan80 | I need to get rid of it -- cause it's messing up my client --- any idea how? | 19:52 |
| soundray | TeMagic: be careful not to run a graphical program with sudo. Use gksudo for those | 19:52 |
| LockesRabb | okay, tryin, sec | 19:52 |
| kranny | how to add a user to sudoers list | 19:52 |
| wyth | guess not? | 19:52 |
| soundray | kranny: 'sudo adduser username admin' | 19:52 |
| soundray | wyth: say that it's a Dell 530 on the same line that you ask the question. New people are logging on all the time. | 19:53 |
| TeMagic | when I try to connect my logitech bluetooth laser mouse in ubuntu, I get an error message: saying my mouse is not a valid location.... | 19:53 |
| TeMagic | ? | 19:53 |
| LockesRabb | blergh, i don't see any mention of screensaver in keyboard shortcuts manager | 19:53 |
| danand | Just a quickie - how do I find all the keyboard shortcuts for compiz - ala ALT-TAB for changing windows etc?? | 19:54 |
| GHOST | hello there anyone know how can i desactivate FIRESTARTER when ubuntu is booting(i got an error about the fact that firestarter wont start) ? tx | 19:54 |
| serenityUK | linux1, try sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get -f install | 19:55 |
| zed_ | hi I removed my kenel at one point on accident, got it back but now when I login I get a brown screen, I can get terminal and open programs, but I can't get online from the boot and install the files I removed | 19:55 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: man mount didn't solve anything.. | 19:55 |
| kahrytan | GHOST-> firestarter isnt a firewall | 19:55 |
| blergh | LockesRabb, its probably lock screen, not sure, still not in ubuntu :/ | 19:55 |
| zed_ | I have root in a live session and wanted to know if theres a way to install the base boot up files without a full install | 19:55 |
| LockesRabb | danand shift+alt+up | 19:56 |
| jpatrick | GHOST: sudo update-rc.d -f firestarter remove | 19:56 |
| TeMagic | is there a program I can download to control the fans of my laptop (m1330), they're spinning constantly...? And how do I get my bluetooth mouse connected? | 19:56 |
| danand | GHOST - wouldn't worry about that - mine says the same. Think its caused by firestarter trying to start the firewall without the network interface being up first | 19:56 |
| hsystemxX | kahrytan, nobody is asking that... we all know that it is a frontend to manage ip tables. | 19:56 |
| soundray | zed_: one possibility is to install the packages that are still in the cache /var/cache/apt/archives | 19:56 |
| === Zoldax_II is now known as Morphix | ||

| zed_ | O hey soundray | 19:56 |
| LockesRabb | super+tab can work two ways, there's flip switcher, or ring switcher | 19:56 |
| LockesRabb | me, i use flip switcher | 19:56 |
| GHOST | jpatrick dats cool tank again bye ;) | 19:56 |
| Almaceno_24 | dd | 19:56 |
| linux1 | serenityUK i have tryed that allready and just again but im getting the same message | 19:57 |
| wyth | Sorry -- I have a new Dell 530 with Gutsy 7.10 pre-installed. I got it with a 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT- DDR3 gfx card. I have it set to go to sleep after an hour, to save power. But it won't come back out; it flashes the login screen, then goes black, I see a bunch of command-line-like text, and then it goes black again. If I hit the power button again, it just reboots | 19:57 |
| soundray | zed_: I see you haven't given up. You'd be back up and running now if you had reinstalled ;) | 19:57 |
| wyth | So I'm looking for a way around that | 19:57 |
| jason_ | can some one help me with enableing my graphics card to run fully? | 19:57 |
| TeMagic | jason_: what graphic card? | 19:57 |
| jason_ | intel | 19:57 |
| jason_ | 1 sec | 19:57 |
| zed_ | Hey hey I got the kernel back, besides wheres the fun in being a stubborn person in that? | 19:57 |
| AsakuroX | neverblue: man mount didn't solve anything.. | 19:58 |
| LockesRabb | danand -- you can see a list of keyboard shortcuts for compiz fusion here: http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ | 19:58 |
| LockesRabb | blergh, i will try the lock screen one | 19:58 |
| jason_ | actually ther are a few problems with ubuntu out of the box for my laptop | 19:58 |
| jeffMASTERflex | AsakuroX: man mounting seems to work for about 10% of the population | 19:58 |
| rich__ | yoyo, my system update has gyed me up again! flash doesnt work, any ideas | 19:58 |
| jason_ | for one it doesnt reconize my computer | 19:58 |
| hsystemxX | im zZ and have to work ... damn (spam) | 19:58 |
| AsakuroX | jeffMASTERflex: haha lol so what should i do then? | 19:58 |
| danand | LockesRabb - Thanks! | 19:59 |
| zed_ | rich_: flash the program or the plugin? | 19:59 |
| LockesRabb | danand -- no problem | 19:59 |
| rich__ | the plugin | 19:59 |
| serenityUK | linux1, i've fixed it before it's bugging me that I can't find the answer again.. I think there is a lock file that is created when you open synaptic that stops you running apt-get at same time etc... if you delete the lock file as root it works | 19:59 |
| LockesRabb | blergh -- when i set windows key to lock screen, it works | 19:59 |
| kahrytan | rich__-> Whats wrong with flash | 19:59 |
| rich__ | i did a system update, now it says its not installed | 19:59 |
| rich__ | when i go to youtube etc | 20:00 |

| === Onyx is now known as Onyx|Store | ||
| rich__ | when did this issue happen today? | 20:00 |
| hsystemxX | rich__ from my experience, flash plugin in ubuntu linux for firefox, wont work if it is installed from firefox itself. If i were you i will go to adobe.com and download the tar.gz package of adobe flash and install it. | 20:00 |

| __mikem | Let me ask a more general question, is there a way to make applications that use older Graphical Toolkits for their UI, look more like the newer gtk apps | 20:01 |
| serenityUK | linux1, does the error msg say something at the top such as Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lock ? | 20:02 |
| jason_ | i can't even get some screensaver to run at full speed | 20:02 |
| PriceChild | __mikem, rewrite them to use the new stuff? | 20:02 |
| LockesRabb | blergh -- other things other than the menu works fine | 20:02 |
| linux1 | serenityUK no | 20:02 |
| __mikem | PriceChild, no what i mean is, I heard there was a package you could install that updates the appearence for those apps | 20:02 |
| serenityUK | linux1, be careful deleting files as root lol.. it's a very specific file | 20:02 |
| __mikem | but i don't know the name of it | 20:03 |

| blergh | LockesRabb, alright, i have to leave for a little bit, but I think it may have to do with the panel having been reconfigured, ill get back to you in a bit | 20:03 |
| ctrader | kranny: crontab wasn't able to do it? | 20:03 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: hi there. ubuntu is generally working ok, ive installed the restricted drivers and the updates, if there anything else you recommend doing/installing? | 20:03 |
| kranny | I have free downloads from 10 pm to 6 am ...so i need to disconnect before 6 am....any automated approach...i tried crontab | 20:03 |
| __mikem | PriceChild, do you understand what I mean? | 20:03 |
| soundray | jason_: make sure you have this package installed ^^, then run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and select the intel driver. (Accept the defaults for everything else) | 20:03 |
| PriceChild | __mikem, no idea | 20:03 |
| __mikem | thanks anyway :( | 20:03 |

| kranny | ctrader:but i need to disconnect rather than shutting down the system | 20:04 |
| soundray | __mikem: there is no way, unless you port the sourcecode to the newer toolkit yourself | 20:04 |
| soundray | __mikem: (or ask the developers to do it) | 20:04 |
| kranny | ctrader:i made a /sbin/poweroff entry in crontab | 20:05 |
| soundray | kranny: you can time the shutdown of the network interface in question. Just run 'ifdown ppp0' from cron (substitute your actual net interface) | 20:05 |
| shade052 | kranny: set "/etc/init.d/networking stop" in cron. i think it will work | 20:06 |
| hellotherehere | I followed the steps mentioned here to fix the ethernet problem and now the whole computer is not loading at all | 20:06 |
| zed_ | soundray: can I do a reinstall without formating? it keeps telling my no root format defined | 20:06 |

| kranny | shade052:no error | 20:11 |
| soundray | fitztrev: perhaps you haven't got permission to delete files in fol2 | 20:11 |
| kranny | shade052:i connected through wvdial | 20:11 |
| shade052 | kranny: wvdial.. no idea! | 20:11 |
| jmantra | Can someone reccomend a good wireless card that can run in linux without NDIS wrapper? | 20:11 |
| TeMagic | allright then, that was actually easy, but the location of the setting wasn't logical in my mind, anyway, got it working, thanks | 20:11 |
| TeMagic | now, do any of you know of a program to control laptop fans? | 20:12 |
| kranny | shade052:i mean dialup connection | 20:12 |
| soundray | jmantra: the mini PCI cards with Intel 2200BG chipset work very well | 20:12 |
| shade052 | kranny: do you have have ethernet attached or usb or something else | 20:12 |
| danand | TeMagic - if you have a dell machine i8kutils, i8kfan may help | 20:13 |
| jmantra | which ones have that chipset,I am going to best buy later to pick up one? | 20:13 |
| TeMagic | danand: thanks, I'll see if I find it | 20:13 |
| shade052 | kranny: does wvdial have its own application to connect with? | 20:13 |
| kranny | shade052:dialup modem through usb | 20:13 |
| danand | TeMagic - That may only work for Dell laptops !! | 20:14 |
| danand | TeMagic - apt-cache pkgnames | grep i8k | 20:14 |
| soundray | kranny: consider setting up diald. It's fairly complex, but you can set up time-dependent dialup rules | 20:14 |
| fitztrev | soundray: permissions are fine on both folders. still won't take | 20:15 |
| TeMagic | danand: I have a dell m1330... I found the program in synaptics... I'll try it out now... thank you... | 20:15 |
| kranny | shade052:wvdial is a internet dialer through terminal | 20:15 |
| danand | TeMagic - cool :) | 20:15 |

| shade052 | kranny: find the process id and close the process | 20:16 |
| usr13_ | mkquist: find or locate | 20:16 |
| danand | TeMagic - think command is something like i8kctrl .... options | 20:16 |
| TeMagic | danand: I got it from synaptics: now how do I run it? i8kutil in terminal did nothing | 20:16 |
| Starnestommy | mkquist: which program-name | 20:16 |
| usr13_ | mkquist: which | 20:16 |
| usr13_ | sorry | 20:16 |

| mkquist | usr13_: ty | 20:16 |
| danand | TeMagic - beat you to it :D | 20:16 |
| TeMagic | :) | 20:16 |
| shade052 | kranny: type ps -ef|grep wvdial. you will get the PID . then kill the pid! | 20:17 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: ive downloaded flock and songbird, but i dont know how to install them. its not going to be as easy as windows, is it :P | 20:17 |
| TeMagic | nah... i8kctrl : command not found | 20:17 |
| soundray | fitztrev: the manpage has a lengthy explanation. In short: don't use the * wildcard | 20:17 |
| fitztrev | soundray: ah yes! that worked. thanks a bunch! | 20:18 |
| danand | TeMagic - try typing i8k and then try to auto complete with TAB - see what comes up | 20:18 |

| martin_ | what about apt-get? | 20:19 |
| zoli2k | Hi! How can I disable compiz? I enabled compiz in Desktop Effects, but after system upgrade the Desktop Effects application disappeared. | 20:19 |
| hsystemxX | use aptitude :) for this one | 20:19 |
| Ayabara | if it's connected via bluetooth, how can I browse my k810 phone in ubuntu? | 20:19 |
| hsystemxX | more complet.e | 20:19 |
| soundray | tyrone: ntfsundelete from the ntfsprogs package (never tried it though) | 20:19 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, if it is a .deb file you just double-click on it lol, most things for ubuntu you set up a 3rd party repository and install through clicking in Synaptic that way it will update itself | 20:19 |
| shade052 | kranny: well the method is crude. i agree. but anything that saves money is worth it. right. :) | 20:19 |
| tyrone | zoli2k, metacity --replace | 20:20 |
| danand | TeMagic - what package did you install with synaptics - i8kutils? i8kfan? | 20:20 |
| tyrone | soundray, thanks | 20:20 |
| kranny | shade052::P | 20:20 |
| martin_ | i installed emerald | 20:20 |
| martin_ | an got no themes | 20:20 |
| zoli2k | tyrone: My problem is not replacing but disabling. I don't think it is effective to run this on every system start. | 20:20 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: oh right, i dled them from the official site and theyre in tar.gz format or something like that | 20:20 |
| hsystemxX | i believe the thems are, sudo aptitude install emerald-themes | 20:20 |
| hsystemxX | but for themes go to www.gnome-look.org | 20:21 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, a repository is just a server with .deb files on it... like when you installed and got 185 updates ubuntu software upgrades itself it's actually easier when you get used to it | 20:21 |
| martin_ | I installed emerald, and its without themes, I go to fetch gpld themes | 20:21 |
| martin_ | nothing happens | 20:21 |
| danand | TeMagic ....just getting my laptop ... | 20:21 |
| tyrone | zoli2k, sudo apt-get remove compiz | 20:21 |
| TeMagic | danand: i8kutil | 20:21 |
| hsystemxX | martin _, i believe the thems are, sudo aptitude install emerald-themes | 20:21 |
| usr13_ | SexyJames1337: Compiling from source is complicated. You couldn't find pre-compiled packages? | 20:21 |
| shade052 | kranny: you can try google to find how to disconnect USB devices from command prompt. that may be a more elegant solution | 20:21 |
| hsystemxX | martin_ , i believe the themes are, sudo aptitude install emerald-themes | 20:21 |
| === salah_ is now known as salah | ||
| hsystemxX | but for themes go to www.gnome-look.org | 20:21 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, tar.qz is a zip file for source code.. you shouldn't need that | 20:21 |
| serenityUK | gz | 20:21 |

| martin_ | it says no candidate found | 20:22 |
| TeMagic | sure | 20:22 |
| hsystemxX | because they eliminated that package. after gutsy upgrade. | 20:22 |
| zoli2k | tyrone: will this change in my local gnome config files the default window manager? | 20:22 |
| hsystemxX | go to gnome-look.org | 20:22 |
| K_Nine | mkquist: or you can try type <program> in a terminal | 20:22 |
| hsystemxX | and download the themes. | 20:22 |

| soundray | paladin_: zgv (requires svgalib) | 21:01 |
| daugustine_ | if i reboot, I'm fine | 21:01 |
| TeMagic | danand: but here's the good part, after having loaded the i8k using modprobe force=1, my fan is spinning much slower:) Dunno why..... | 21:01 |
| ompaul | daugustine_, you should not have to reboot, if you are loosing your lease in dhcp you will fall off irc for about 20 mins | 21:01 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, maybe if you run it by typing it will print some error msg... open a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type ./flock/flock if you put the flock folder in home | 21:02 |
| chris710 | can you help me?gdesklets doesn't work with compiz... | 21:02 |
| ompaul | daugustine_, or forever depending on the client | 21:02 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: sorry, my internet died there | 21:02 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: im back | 21:02 |
| daugustine_ | ompaul, is there anyway to prevent that from happening? | 21:02 |
| blizzkid | does anyone know of a Mailman alternative that can be installed without having to be root? (on a shared hosting) | 21:03 |
| danand | TeMagic - ok :) that means its working. Use man i8kctl or i8kfan to see how to control your fans - In order to use the i8kutils every time you boot, you need to add the line i8k to your /etc/modules file - just not sure how to do that force=1 from within there though - you may want to ask the others about that | 21:03 |
| sharperguy | can anyone help me get my GLX extension back? | 21:03 |
| SexyJames1337 | serenityUK: as i was saying, the flock file is a shell script whereas the songbird file was an executable, so have i got the right one? | 21:03 |

| Tobias92 | Dear ubuntu people, this is rather odd: Whether I use totem, vlc or mplayer, the video always shows as a pink screen that doesn't change, while my video drivers are installed correctly. What could cause this | 21:03 |
| TeMagic | so, my bluetooth mouse is fixed and my fan is spinning slower... though I do not have direct control, I'm happy... I'll see if it's working after a reboot, | 21:03 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, i think the script runs the binary for you | 21:03 |
| serenityUK | SexyJames1337, maybe if you run it by typing it will print some error msg... open a terminal Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type ./flock/flock if you put the flock folder in home | 21:03 |
| TeMagic | if not, I'll add i8k to /etc/modules | 21:04 |
| TeMagic | thanks for the help | 21:04 |
| TeMagic | much appriciated | 21:04 |

| ompaul | !codecs | Tobias92 (about 90% certain this is the problem) | 21:04 |

| Flare183 | Tobias92: that is if you are using that | 21:04 |
| danand | TeMagic - remember to ask about that force=1 option | 21:04 |
| soundray | Tobias92: not sure, but try another output plugin with mplayer. Get a list with 'mplayer -vo help' | 21:04 |

| ubotu | shade052: 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 | 21:04 |

| ikonia | umair: are you certan as a lot of proxy's will authenticate without you knowthing through active directory | 21:22 |
| SumoBob | what port does the proxy run on? | 21:22 |
| iNeo | Is the MS client part of the AD? | 21:22 |
| danand | umair - iNeo - my proxy at uni never required auth either | 21:22 |
| ikonia | iNeo: yup, you where I am | 21:22 |
| sharperguy | soundray, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54381/ | 21:22 |
| umair | i am very very very sure | 21:22 |
| Xtrato | Soundray: I have checked the BIOS again and the only place i can see a floppy drive listed is in the boot priority menu. Theres no device list or anything of the sort from what i can see :s | 21:22 |
| ikonia | danand: how is that relevant ? | 21:22 |
| palomer | hey guys, I managed to install ubuntu on my system by installing the ati drivers, but ubuntu doesn't work properly. when it starts off, it tries to start the display server many times, without success. then it gives the error message "display server shut down 6 times in 90 seconds". if i type startx, it starts X but theres a floating box that says "input not supported". any suggestions? | 21:22 |
| ikonia | umair: the first thing to do is telnet to the proxy port and see if you can actually get to it and what it's response is | 21:23 |
| iNeo | Because Authentication can also be done by workstation account | 21:23 |
| confrey | can anybody help me? I've installed gutsy on my toshiba laptop, but it doesn't work; after a long time, I have only a bray screen with X cursos | 21:23 |
| umair | man this is biting my head off i have seen these kind of forums on google but no good enough answer | 21:23 |
| OshaMaHUe | soundray: it is too late for this i guess :) can i save the system or do i need to reinstall | 21:23 |
| SumoBob | is the proxy transparent or does it require manual config? | 21:23 |
| ikonia | umair: telnet to the port on the proxy and see how it responds ? | 21:23 |
| umair | it requires manual config | 21:23 |
| iNeo | One other option is, that there is an acces list that uses the MAC address of you ethernet address | 21:23 |
| umair | 10.2.10.17 8080 | 21:23 |
| umair | no | 21:24 |
| ikonia | umair: what happens when you telnet to it ? | 21:24 |
| SumoBob | try 10.2.10.17:8080 with the colon | 21:24 |
| soundray | sharperguy: that looks fine to me. Sorry I can't help... Ask the channel again, leave about 10min between repetitions please | 21:24 |
| umair | ofcourse i tried that | 21:24 |
| umair | :P | 21:24 |
| ikonia | umair: what happens when you telnet to it ? | 21:24 |
| MasterAslan | confrey: have you installed from a live cd? | 21:24 |

| Xcell | Xcell: ok! im just started (MV2-MX SE) asus mobo, with via graphics, when in (sys settings) which do i pick? | 21:25 |
| Xcell | Xcell: to get out of vessa | 21:25 |

| confrey | MasterAslan, no, by alternate cd | 21:25 |
| umair | and come back | 21:25 |
| umair | :( | 21:25 |
| ikonia | umair: 1.) don't use that sort of language, its the best way to get kicked 2.) vista has a telnet client | 21:25 |
| SumoBob | are you running a firewall on your workstation? | 21:25 |
| sharperguy | soundray, I think some x-related packages updated themselves when I installed KDE4 from the repo. Is there a way of downgrading the packages installed from a repo? | 21:25 |
| umair | ikonia | 21:25 |
| danand | bobgill tar -xjcf /home/user home.tar.bz2 | 21:25 |
| umair | hmm so should i try telnetting through vista | 21:25 |
| bullgard4 | Why does 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' print different values for domain, server and master compared with 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32673) | 21:26 |
| ikonia | umair: do what you want, I don't like your approach or language | 21:26 |
| bobgill | danand: bz2 is better compression right ??? | 21:26 |
| soundray | OshaMaHUe: you can try to undo the damage that envy has obviously done, but it'll be difficult to get help here. (I'd help if I knew what it was that envy does, but I don't, sorry). | 21:26 |
| danand | bobgill - yes, i think so | 21:27 |
| iNeo | ikonia: I agree | 21:27 |
| soundray | sharperguy: downgrading is next to impossible, sorry | 21:27 |
| sharperguy | ... | 21:27 |
| MasterAslan | confrey: try booting with the nolapic noapic parameters or apic=off and see if that works | 21:27 |
| bobgill | ok thanks | 21:27 |
| danand | ikonia , iNeo, umair - chill out! | 21:27 |
| umair | lol very funny hahahaha u dont know nothing anyways i guess linux is bullshit | 21:27 |

| frojnd | Does UTP kable rolled into circles effect in anyway file transfeer ? magnetic fiels or smth ? | 21:28 |
| danand | ikonia - no need for that | 21:28 |
| soundray | sharperguy: do have a look at these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia -- they are for older ubuntu versions, but you may find the decisive discrepancy between your config and the config that works. | 21:28 |
| MrPink_ | hey, how can I access the network via Bash? So I can find computers in the built in Network manager, but would like to do it via console | 21:28 |
| ikonia | danand: no need for what ? | 21:28 |
| sanozuke | hello from portugal | 21:28 |
| soundray | frojnd: no | 21:28 |
| sharperguy | soundray, ok thanks | 21:28 |
| confrey | MasterAslan, are nolapic and noapic and apic=off the same things? | 21:28 |
| Xcell | Xcell: ok! im just started (MV2-MX SE) asus mobo, with via graphics, when in (sys settings) which do i pick? | 21:28 |
| Xcell | Xcell: to get out of vessa | 21:29 |
| danand | ikonia - umairs language and bad attitude! | 21:29 |
| Xtrato | Soundray: I have checked the BIOS again and the only place i can see a floppy drive listed is in the boot priority menu. Theres no device list or anything of the sort from what i can see :s | 21:29 |
| ikonia | danand: ahh, I thought you where implying no need for my response. Yes I agree | 21:29 |
| danand | ikonia - glad to get that cleared up - it was nearly all out war on the Ubuntu channel :) | 21:30 |
| soundray | Xtrato: there is normally an option for disabling the floppy controller under Integrated Peripherals or similar | 21:30 |
| Cpudan80 | anyone have any idea? | 21:30 |
| Cpudan80 | I screwed up the path variable - cant run any terminal commands | 21:30 |
| soundray | Xtrato: if it's not there, I don't know what to suggest -- definitely a weird problem | 21:30 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80: how do you mean, messed up the path? | 21:30 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: I was trying to add something to it -- but it went wrong | 21:30 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: to fix it in the current shell, do 'export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' | 21:31 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80: where did you add it? Revert the change there | 21:31 |
| bullgard4 | Why does 'smbclient -L localhost -U%' print different values for domain, server and master compared with 'smbclient -L Amilo7600'? (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/32673) | 21:31 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: then follow nickrud's advice | 21:31 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: export PATH=$(PATH):/usr/share/androidSDK/tools/ is what I tried to do | 21:31 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: it was right on the command line | 21:31 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80: you can either close that terminal and open another, or follow soundray's advice | 21:31 |
| luciano_ | \join #initd | 21:31 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: the $(PATH) syntax is wrong for bash. Use $PATH or ${PATH} | 21:32 |
| MasterAslan | confrey: no they are not. I don't understand them all to be honest but I know they disable different things | 21:32 |
| MasterAslan | lapic and apic are parts of the whole apci I believe | 21:32 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: hrmmm | 21:32 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: google's dock is wrong then | 21:32 |
| olli | So, any info on the flashplugin-nonfree? | 21:33 |
| MrPink_ | hey, how can I access the network via Bash? So I can find computers in the built in Network manager, but would like to do it via console | 21:33 |
| Leechzilla | Need help writing an alias. I need an alias that'll let me do "mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o fileout.avi file1.avi file2.avi" by typing "mergevid file1.avi file2.avi fileout.avi" | 21:33 |
| Conker | anyone have a vmware esx 3.02 lic file that they might want to let me have? | 21:33 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: it's an easy thing to get wrong. $(command) does the same as backticks, ie. `command` | 21:33 |
| MasterAslan | confrey: I think there is a forum thread specifically for laptops on the forums have a browse | 21:34 |
| iNeo | MrPink_: try a portscan | 21:34 |
| iNeo | MrPink_: with for example nmap | 21:34 |
| danand | Leechzilla - try alias mergevid="mencoder ..." or add to /home/user/.bash_aliases | 21:34 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla: if you would do mergevid fileout file1 file2 alias mergevid='mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o' | 21:34 |
| confrey | MasterAslan, ok, I'll see there | 21:34 |
| Leechzilla | nickrud, can't I change the order somehow, and be able to do mergevid file1 file2 fileout? | 21:35 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: So - if I want to add this thing to my path permanently -- I would add it to my bashrc file right? | 21:35 |
| MrPink_ | iNeo I find the PCs in the Network Manager Ubunto offers... but how can I connect to them via console ? | 21:35 |
| DamagePlan | Hi, whats the default application font for gnome? | 21:35 |
| sanozuke | update 5.10 how to please | 21:35 |
| Sergo21 | hello, how to install the kubuntu desktop? | 21:35 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: yes -- $HOME/.bashrc for a single user, /etc/profile to do it system wide, or /etc/environment | 21:36 |
| sanozuke | it doesn't have to be paied | 21:36 |
| MasterAslan | Sergo21: do you already have ubuntu installed? if so sudo apt-get kubuntu-dekstop | 21:36 |
| __mikem | Sergo21, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 21:36 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla: you could write a bash function, then you could use variables | 21:36 |
| Sergo21 | MasterAslan,yes | 21:36 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: and the ()s should be {}s ? | 21:36 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: yes | 21:36 |
| MasterAslan | sorry forgot the install so what __mikem said | 21:36 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: I got it right off of google's install docs --- I wonder why they have it wrong | 21:37 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: I'm sure they'll appreciate if you report the problem back to them | 21:37 |
| carwe | where is the config-file for power management in ubuntu? | 21:37 |
| DamagePlan | Please can I hae help, Whats the default application font in gnome, When you first install ubuntu? | 21:38 |
| DamagePlan | thanks | 21:38 |

| DamagePlan | Thankyou sergo and nickrud | 21:39 |
| nickrud | soundray: usually but it can be change based on installed fonts | 21:39 |
| paladin_ | I have radeon 9600.. I tried to install flgrx but I failed. I tried to uninstall everything I did and revert back. However when I move the windows or scroll up-down, the movement is VERY slow and shakey | 21:39 |
| Leechzilla | nickrud: You mean a bash script? | 21:39 |
| Gigamo | How would I go about temporarily adding some Hardy repositories to install packages that are new in hardy (and not in gutsy's repo's) and remove them after I installed what I need? | 21:39 |
| erawfish | paladin_: use "radeon" drivers then | 21:39 |
| ubuntu | gjj | 21:40 |
| erawfish | Gigamo: won't work | 21:40 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: is there a way to reprocess my .bashrc thing now that I have the export line in there (without logging out) | 21:40 |
| soundray | Gigamo: don't. Chances are you'll wreck your system with a partial upgrade | 21:40 |
| erawfish | Gigamo: only way is to do a (manual) backport | 21:40 |
| Gigamo | yeah | 21:40 |
| Dukan_Studying | don t buster | 21:40 |
| jbalcaen | anyone know how to install netwrok manager without an internet connection | 21:40 |
| Gigamo | I just need to know how I best do a manual backport :) | 21:40 |
| proprietarysucks | do it! don't listen to these wimps! | 21:40 |
| Gigamo | I'm running hardy's kernel and hardy's gcc++ already | 21:40 |
| Gigamo | so far without issues | 21:41 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: yes -- run . ~/.bashrc (dot space file to source a file) | 21:41 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: do a 'echo $PATH' afterwards to make sure it looks right | 21:41 |
| mohbana_ | hi everyone, when i do 'sudo apt-get install java-common sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-jdk' it replies with 'E: Package sun-java6-plugin has no installation candidate' all the rest of the things installed fine. I am using the main, universe, restricted and multiverse repos. | 21:42 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: oh duh, its just a shell script | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | mohbana_: in 54 bits there is no plugin | 21:42 |
| noodlesgc | jbalcaen if you have a computer with internet go to packages.ubuntu.com | 21:42 |
| erUSUL | mohbana_: 64 | 21:42 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: not quite. It doesn't have a shebang | 21:42 |
| paladin_ | erawfish: should I use radeon, ati or fglrx? | 21:42 |
| mohbana_ | erUSUL, what do i have to do? | 21:42 |
| soundray | !flash64 | mohbana_ | 21:43 |
| ubotu | mohbana_: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 21:43 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: hrm.... I dont see the new stuff I added in path | 21:43 |
| mohbana_ | soundray and erUSUL are these 32bit plugins for the java 1.6? | 21:43 |
| Phuzion | what do I have to install to play games on shockwave.com? | 21:44 |
| sdc | 64 bits sucks | 21:44 |
| Phuzion | through firefox | 21:44 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: I added --- export PATH=$PATH:/usr/share/androidSDK/tools --- near the end | 21:44 |
| Phuzion | !shockwavwe | 21:44 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about shockwavwe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:44 |
| Phuzion | !shockwave | 21:44 |
| Pici | Phuzion: Adobe has not released a Shockwave for linux. | 21:45 |
| h6mi1007 | hello, i'm new to ubuntu, can someone just like connect to my pc and install everything for me? :D | 21:45 |
| MasterAslan | Phuzion: shockwave is not supported. The only way I know to work around is to install a windows firefox with WINE | 21:45 |
| Znuff | h6mi1007, sure. Do you keep your credit card numbers on your PC? | 21:45 |
| Phuzion | Hmm, I'll just go upstairs and use my windows PC then, haha ,ok, thanks guys | 21:45 |
| soundray | Cpudan80: see if it works when you open a new login shell | 21:45 |
| h6mi1007 | yeah, but they are all maxed out :/ | 21:45 |
| erUSUL | mohbana_: yes in 32 bits the plugin works | 21:46 |
| noodlesgc | h6mi1007 just go to Applications->Add/Remove | 21:46 |
| Cpudan80 | soundray: ahh ok - works now -- thanks | 21:46 |
| h6mi1007 | just found that, thanx | 21:46 |
| genii | Phuzion: There is no Shockwave for Linux yet. If you feel strongly enough on the subject sign the online petition to create one. The petition is at http://www.petitiononline.com/linuxswp/petition.html | 21:46 |
| soundray | mohbana_: yes | 21:46 |
| mohbana_ | erUSUL, i dont quiet get this i am on a 64bit system this is about how to install 32bit firefox | 21:46 |
| h6mi1007 | and i just found irc :D | 21:47 |
| soundray | mohbana_: if you want to stick with 64bit firefox, use nspluginwrapper | 21:47 |
| JFactor | !tvout | 21:47 |
| ubotu | For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) | 21:47 |
| erUSUL | mohbana_: well if you really need the java plugin for firefox the *only* way to do it on 64bit is using a 32bit firefox + java | 21:47 |
| JFactor | well that ended in horror | 21:47 |
| noodlesgc | JFactor what gfx card? | 21:48 |
| soundray | erUSUL: I enabled the 32bit Java plugin in 64bit firefox with nspluginwrapper. Is that not recommended? | 21:48 |
| mohbana_ | erUSUL, shall i just install the 1.5 java then? | 21:48 |
| syntaxerror55 | soundray: Obviously not. | 21:48 |
| soundray | mohbana_: that's not a solution | 21:48 |
| h6mi1007 | like i said i just came from windows and was wondering if anyone knows if i can plug my slave hd in and access music like in win or do i need to know some magic? | 21:49 |
| sunseeker888 | hi chaps, new to ubuntu. i need some help | 21:49 |
| soundray | syntaxerror55: care to elaborate? | 21:49 |
| sunseeker888 | if there an ip blocker soft arounf | 21:49 |
| pike_ | h6mi1007: usb drive or internal? | 21:49 |
| h6mi1007 | internal | 21:49 |
| zac | hey guys, I think there is a package conflict in the repos: libglu1-mesa-dev: Depends: libglu1-mesa (= 7.0.1-1ubuntu3) but 7.0.1-1ubuntu4~tv is to be installed | 21:49 |
| noodlesgc | sunseeker888 denyhosts might be what you need | 21:49 |
| mohbana_ | anyhow how am i going to get past this? | 21:49 |
| syntaxerror55 | soundray: it's a hack, it is using two architectures. While I would recommend it, the Ubuntu team probably would not. | 21:50 |
| Scunizi | How do I ls a directory to get a list of hidden subdirectories? tried ls /. & ls ./ | 21:50 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: ls -a | 21:50 |
| noodlesgc | Scunizi ls -a | 21:50 |
| Scunizi | thanks! | 21:50 |
| noodlesgc | darn beat me | 21:50 |
| mohbana_ | lol | 21:50 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: or my preference ls -A | 21:50 |
| zac | how can i force libglu1-mesa-7.0.1-1ubuntu3 to be installed instead of 7.0.1-1ubuntu4~tv? | 21:50 |
| Scunizi | syntaxerror55, :) | 21:50 |
| erUSUL | soundray: i didn't know that was possible (i use it only with flash) | 21:50 |
| tkxue | what's the easiest way to type chinese in ubuntu? | 21:51 |
| pike_ | h6mi1007: id expect it to detect it but if not 1) open a terminal 2) sudo fdisk -l to see attached drives 3) mkdir /media/music;gksu gedit /etc/fstab and add the line for that drive like /dev/hdb1 /media/music defaults 0 0 <-- or something it will probably set it up for you though what file system is the slave? | 21:51 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla: not a bash script, a function you can add to the ~/.bashrc and invoke on the command line. the package abs-guide has docs, install it an look at /usr/share/doc/abs-guide | 21:51 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: ls -A lists all hidden directories except . and .. | 21:51 |
| sunseeker888 | nood lesgc denyhost, i will check up, any link by anychance | 21:51 |
| tkxue | I need to write a document in chinese ... on ubuntu -- what is the tool I should use? (I don't see anything particularly useful from apt-cache search chinese) | 21:51 |
| oliver3 | tkxue: you're using a Chinese keyboard right? | 21:51 |
| Leechzilla | nickrud: I got it working already, thanks! never done this before :D | 21:51 |
| tkxue | oliver3: no, I'm using a english keyboard | 21:51 |
| erUSUL | mohbana_: no java version has a 64 bit plugin for firefox. Do as soundray suggested and use nspluginwrapper to install the plugin on 64 bit firefox | 21:51 |
| noodlesgc | sunseeker888 you can just sudo apt-get install denyhosts | 21:51 |
| Scunizi | syntaxerror55, nice.. something new to learn every day.. | 21:51 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla: good, I was a way for a couple minutes | 21:51 |
| oliver3 | tkxue: then I suggest you get a Chinese one. | 21:51 |
| === _myr_ is now known as nymtar | ||
| tkxue | oliver3: I want something where I type in pin yin + tone, and it gives me a list of chars to use | 21:51 |
| h6mi1007 | pike ntfs | 21:51 |
| tkxue | oliver3: what's a chinese keyboard? | 21:52 |
| JFactor | noodlesgc: Nvidia 6150 | 21:52 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: :D | 21:52 |
| pike_ | !ntfs3g | h6mi1007 automount script here | 21:52 |
| ubotu | h6mi1007 automount script here: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 21:52 |
| oliver3 | tkxue: a keyboard with Chinese characters. | 21:52 |
| noodlesgc | JFactor ok nvm, I just got mine working with Intel | 21:52 |
| adub | does anyone know where to get linux / ubuntu myspace layouts | 21:52 |
| Leechzilla | nickrud: I saved it as a script and added to .bashrc.. Not sure if it was the right way of doing it, but it works | 21:52 |
| h6mi1007 | cool thx | 21:52 |
| pike_ | tkxue: or a pad to write with if you find a solution you like /msg it to me if you dont care | 21:52 |
| JFactor | noodlesgc: Ok Tahnks anyway | 21:52 |

| nickrud | Leechzilla: a good place to keep your own scripts is in ~/bin , add if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}" to your .bashrc | 21:53 |
| sunseeker888 | nood got it? how do i uncompil it, sorry i am very new to linux | 21:54 |
| Scunizi | Prime example! Using the command line to copy 1000+ fonts from ~/.fonts to ~/font_holder_file takes 3 seconds. Trying to do it with Nautilus.... well after 80% cpu and the window grayed while thinking.. it never finished. | 21:54 |
| Leechzilla | nickrud: I have it in ~/Scripts, and then made an alias to run that script.. thought it was simpler | 21:55 |
| nickrud | Leechzilla: more than one way to skin a cat | 21:55 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: that would apply to any window manager/file manager. Especially Windows Explorer | 21:55 |
| Leechzilla | :) | 21:55 |
| erUSUL | soundray: maybe you should add your procedure (using nspluginwrapper with java) in the wikipage?? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins | 21:55 |
| noodlesgc | sunseeker888 after you install it just type denyhosts in a terminal | 21:55 |
| pine | even better, put home made scripts in /usr/local/bin. so all users in system can use them | 21:55 |
| rctmcl | theres only one way to put it in the microwave over though | 21:55 |
| pine | nickrud | 21:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | I put my scripts in /bin | 21:56 |
| Scunizi | syntaxerror55, how very true.. just shows to go you, command line can be friendly and fast. :D | 21:56 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: indeed :D | 21:56 |
| noodlesgc | sunseeker888 you could also look at firestarter | 21:56 |

| noodlesgc | sunseeker888 are you trying to block inbound traffic of outbound? | 21:57 |
| pike_ | h6mi1007: doubleclick or tar xfvz file.tar.gz if its a tar.gz | 21:58 |
| pine | carwe, do a ntpdate some_ntp_server to correct your time | 21:58 |
| carwe | Fri Feb 1 22:57:57 CET 2008 | 21:58 |

| usr13_ | adub: pidgin | 22:02 |

| erUSUL | paladin_: ati and radeon are the same driver (open source) fglrx is not open source | 22:03 |
| Scunizi | syntaxerror55, since you develop fonts, maybe you can tell me of a decent font viewer. Currently I use Opticon. | 22:03 |
| h6mi1007 | so tar is like a rar file huh | 22:03 |
| usr13_ | h6mi1007: no, tar is archive, not compressed. | 22:03 |

| confrey | help me please, gutsy doesn't boot; before gdm starting, I have a blank screen only; I can't active any tty console, neither reboot by ctrl-alt-del | 22:03 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: Font viewer? I honestly don't use one. I use the built in one in fontforge (Edit>Display), and when it's time to test it out I just use AbiWord. | 22:04 |
| h6mi1007 | ok cool, where is a good place to extract the flash installer? | 22:04 |
| noodlesgc | confrey: try ctr+alt+f1 | 22:04 |
| syntaxerror55 | Scunizi: I'll have to look into Opticon, but if I was constantly exporting from Fontforge it would defeat the purpose | 22:04 |
| confrey | noodlesgc, not work | 22:04 |
| sunseeker888 | nood, not exactly, LOL, I am trying to hide my IP, that link is to block IP from spammers or ban people. I am looking for soft to route my ip to a different gateway | 22:05 |

| mohbana_ | soundray, the way you suggested of installing the 32bit of java on 64bit is not on the page | 22:05 |
| confrey | I tried apic=off too | 22:05 |
| Scunizi | syntaxerror55, ah ok. Opticon is java based and fairly decent. Pick a directory and it will display the font names on one side and "sample text" on the other. | 22:05 |
| sunseeker888 | if i used wine? can i used my windows hide IP, will that work | 22:05 |
| jack-desktop | where can i learn everything about bash? | 22:05 |

| syntaxerror55 | ompaul: he was here yesterday and wanted to install ubuntu on his/his brother's computer | 22:07 |
| ompaul | syntaxerror55, ack | 22:07 |
| Scunizi | syntaxerror55, yep.. well not "multiple" thousands... just a little over a thousand. The font viewer makes it easier to find what I'm looking for since a program like Inkscape has issues cacheing that many and allowing you to easilly pick one. | 22:07 |
| ompaul | syntaxerror55, going to explain how bad I am ;-) | 22:07 |
| SexyJames1337 | syntaxerror55: had a problem with trying to install and use the web browser flock though, dunno if you might be able to help | 22:08 |
| syntaxerror55 | ompaul: ;D it's fine. I would have done the same | 22:08 |
| confrey | noodlesgc, recovery mode work as normal mode | 22:08 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: Flock? I haven't used that since FF1.0; why would you want it? | 22:08 |
| noodlesgc | confrey ?? recovery mode will should give you a command line | 22:08 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: or at least haven't since a very early version of Flock | 22:08 |
| SexyJames1337 | syntaxerror55: it was in a tarq.gz or whatever theyre called, i extracted it to the home folder and used gedit to make a shortcut to the flock file, it trys to load but fails | 22:08 |
| adub | does anyone know where to get linux / ubuntu myspace layouts | 22:09 |
| confrey | noodlesgc, I try again | 22:09 |
| syntaxerror55 | SexyJames1337: I think flock is in the repos | 22:09 |

| Meglo | or something | 22:43 |
| bascule | not illegal, I have 4 MS licences | 22:43 |
| syntaxerror55 | lecter: Because Mac owns the copyright to Helvetica. | 22:43 |

| Andeh | Hi. Does anyone know if I could use QEMU to boot an existing partition? | 22:53 |
| wilsong | hey | 22:53 |
| wilsong | can anyone tell me how to change the default port for pure-ftpd | 22:53 |
| wilsong | I know i can ps -aux, sudo kill -9 the pid that pure-ftpd is running, and then type pure-ftpd -S [port], but it starts at boot as 21, and id like to change it to start at boot to another port | 22:54 |
| bascule | wilsong: not in the manual page? | 22:55 |
| MrPink_ | "No route to host" 7546: Connection to xxxxxx failed | 22:55 |
| PriceChild | wilsong, its config file, probably in /etc/proftp or something will let you change that. (Just a guess) On another note... don't use ftp, its so incredibly insecure. | 22:55 |
| wilsong | well the manual i read showed me how to change it using the -S flag | 22:55 |
| paladin_ | can i make bitchx have a constant room users list on the side of the screen? | 22:55 |
| zachalink | omg, my top toolbar disappeared! | 22:55 |
| zachalink | I can't close out programs by clicking the top now... | 22:55 |
| wilsong | PriceChild, i found the /etc/pure-ftpd/conf folder, but i dont see any files that apply that change | 22:56 |
| macogw | zachalink: what? | 22:56 |
| macogw | zachalink: your window borders you mean? | 22:56 |
| ompaul | macogw, panel | 22:56 |
| zachalink | yes | 22:56 |
| zachalink | the top stopped showing | 22:56 |
| hw194d | Andeh its not an answer directly, but your question reminded me of this http://www.linux.com/feature/124908 | 22:56 |
| BodOmLaW | gparted always says if cant make partitons, why is that? | 22:57 |
| macogw | zachalink: alt+f2 opens a runbox, type "metacity --replace" to restart the window manager or if you're using compiz "emerald --replace" to restart its decorator | 22:57 |
| puhhnah | +37255981349 here you can ask any questions about ubuntu and other talk too about world and sci-fi | 22:57 |
| hw194d | BodOmLaW the livecd ? | 22:57 |
| BodOmLaW | im running live | 22:57 |
| PriceChild | wilsong, then I would suggest you read the server's documentation. i also suggest you don't use ftp | 22:57 |
| noodlesgc | does anyone else have the pollycooke repository? is it stable? | 22:57 |
| BodOmLaW | im trying to install it | 22:57 |

| rainwalker | Starnestommy: I've been holding off doing it for a while... | 23:00 |
| macogw | loco_aullador: gnome-look.org would work. no you dnt have to recompile. try startup-manager to make it easy to change them | 23:00 |
| Freddy_ | whats the best irc client for GTK? are xchat the way to go? | 23:01 |

| loco_aullador | macogw, ok thanx, im using startup manager and splashy, but i dont like splashy, i want to try bootsplah | 23:01 |
| macogw | h6mi1007: extrapolate from there | 23:01 |

| macogw | Freddy_: i like xchat-gnome or irssi, but irssi isn't a gui program...it's a command line one | 23:02 |

| danand | !root > erik1 | 23:06 |
| Andeh | because I know the software runs fine under WINE, i'm just curious | 23:06 |
| syntaxerror55 | Andeh: it depends on the amount of ram you have. | 23:06 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: aMSN does that, it did it to me to. There is a new unpackaged version available, which I can help you get if you want to. I've used it, and it's veru simple. | 23:07 |
| Andeh | syntaxerror55: is 4 GB enough? | 23:07 |
| macogw | KKSlider1337: did you try the autopackage? | 23:07 |
| Andeh | Lol | 23:07 |
| syntaxerror55 | Andeh: more then enough | 23:07 |
| Andeh | syntaxerror55: I know :P I meant processor wise. I have intel E6550. | 23:07 |
| syntaxerror55 | macogw: what I was going to recommend, by "unpackaged" I meant not a deb package ;D | 23:08 |
| Andeh | hmm | 23:08 |
| macogw | syntaxerror55: ah ok | 23:08 |
| KKSlider1337 | syntaxerror55: ok, cool | 23:08 |
| Andeh | you know, i could run windows music software on a crappy laptop faster under WINE than under Windows :) | 23:08 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: do you have the .package file? | 23:09 |
| Andeh | I wonder how it will work on this high end pc | 23:09 |
| syntaxerror55 | Andeh: It should work fine. Why not give it a try? | 23:09 |
| sunseeker888 | guys just had a problem, did ubuntu on suspend, then 10 later min later it would not power up, pressing any keys. i had to reset | 23:09 |
| KKSlider1337 | syntaxerror55: yes, i did | 23:09 |
| macogw | sunseeker888: are you using binary nvidia or ati drivers? if so, that's normal. | 23:09 |

| KKSlider1337 | for tcl/tk 8.4 or 8.5 | 23:11 |
| Scunizi | macogw, I hope so.. last update borked and I had to do a clean install. Fortunatly my /home is a seperate partition. | 23:11 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: 8.5 | 23:11 |
| macogw | KKSlider1337: well .5 would be updated-er | 23:11 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: you already executed the autopackage? :| | 23:11 |
| noodlesgc | PKdoR you could use pidgin, but i like xchat-gnome | 23:11 |
| Andeh | syntaxerror55: Sure. I'll be back here in a few secs then. I installed windows and Ubuntu side by side but since I work on my music almost every day I ran WinXP more and more often and then I told grub to load it by default! I hate myself for doing that, i wasted about 30 hours dealing with things only windows users have to do. | 23:11 |
| macogw | Scunizi: well recently an update made a bunch of stuff go *segfault* so might now wanna do that right now | 23:11 |

| h6mi1007 | how can i get my graphics card drivers working? there a site i can see to do that? lol | 23:14 |
| macogw | sunseeker888: yeah the lack of suspend is ati's fault then. you can either switch to open source drivers (which means no 3D) or not use suspend or you might be able to make it unload ati's drivers when it suspends and reload them when it comes back | 23:14 |

| macogw | lz1gjd: the hdd manufacturers set their drives so that it does bad things by default. ubuntu doesnt override those by default in laptop mode. it doesnt happen at all in laptop mode. laptop mode is disabled by default. if you didn't enable it, it's disabled. you can change the hdd's settings if you wanna use laptop mode using hdparm | 23:29 |

| noodlesgc | lz1gjd just type laptop_mode stop to be sure | 23:29 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: it's because you don't have the universe and ultiverse repos enabled. | 23:30 |
| Dr_willis | Xcell, if thats a nvidia card check the !nvidia factoid to see what one of the nvidia drivers its to be using. glx, glx-legacy, or the newer. i guess.. That card dosent sound famuler to me at all. | 23:30 |
| KKSlider1337 | syntaxerror55: there is a checkbox next to cd in the repositories options. i think it would help if i unticked that. everything else is ticked except source | 23:30 |
| macogw | lz1gjd: i meant "it doesnt happen at all if laptop mode is disabled"....so the bad things dont happen without laptop modoe | 23:30 |
| Xcell | Dr its an using a (M2V-MX SE) board with via graphics, how do I get off vessa? | 23:30 |

| gmcastil | Sakkath: try the safe mode option | 23:49 |
| themunkee | linchapulin: actually, there's a bunch of sound stuff in there, how do i know which one? | 23:49 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: youre in ~ (your home folder in Linux) | 23:49 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: so type cd amsn, press tab, it will complete the folder name, and press enter. | 23:49 |
| themunkee | linchapulin: I actually was just wondering whether i had alsa or not | 23:49 |
| Slart | dammm: disable your ethernet port.. well.. you can always do "sudo ifdown eth0" .. don't know how much disabled the ethernet port gets but it will stop all network activity on it | 23:49 |
| linchapulin | mrthaggar:: try installing from a different login with gui...then apt-get install the fglrx driver for ATI cards | 23:50 |
| Sciri | Sakkath: Once kubuntu is installed you can then install VMWare tools which will allow you to explicitly set the resolution of your monitor. | 23:50 |
| Slart | oh.. sorry.. forgot to scroll.. very late answer, dammm =) | 23:50 |
| KKSlider1337 | syntaxerror55: ok, i presume im in the right folder at last | 23:50 |
| linchapulin | themunkee:: Are you using a default install..then you are using ALSA | 23:50 |
| themunkee | it's xubuntu, guess that counts too? | 23:50 |
| linchapulin | however to answer your other question just a sec.. | 23:50 |
| mrthaggar | Linchapulin: I can't even see to log in :) I've tried logging in but it keeps telling it's the wrong username/password, how many boxes are there on the login screen? | 23:50 |
| KKSlider1337 | syntaxerror55: name@name-pc:~/amsn-0.97$ | 23:51 |
| iceman_ | what is the command to format a drive. I need to formatt my usb | 23:51 |
| Slart | iceman_: mkfs perhaps | 23:52 |
| linchapulin | themunkee:: lsmod shows you the sound modules loaded amongst the other items...mine is vmix ossusb hdaudio osscore vmix,ossusb,hdaudio | 23:52 |

| mohbana | is there a replacement program to play .rm real media files? | 23:53 |
| linchapulin | mrthaggar:: One sec.. | 23:53 |
| syntaxerror55 | KKSlider1337: can you please register your nick? you'll need to do a good bit of pasting which will flood this channel, and I think I can better help you compile a program in private message. | 23:53 |
| jack-desktop | gmcastil, wtf was that/ | 23:53 |
| gmcastil | jack-desktop: sorry bout that wierd paste - check out that link for a nice concise description of those parameters | 23:53 |

| jack-desktop | gmcastil, ah, thanks. | 23:53 |
| themunkee | ah, that helps; thanks | 23:53 |
| Sakkath | Sciri: i'm not installing on vmware, i only used it to see if the integrity of the CD was ok. i'm trying to dual boot on my windows system which has the 'bios raid' (i guess that's another form of sw raid?) with nvraid--raid0, can i view my windows files from ubuntu & can i install ok? the main problem is the gfx at the moment | 23:53 |
| gmcastil | jack-desktop: yeah...the document it comes from is *real* helpful with understanding bash scripting | 23:54 |
| ramox | does anyone know off hand if grub can display pictures as background for the menu ? | 23:54 |

| mrthaggar | Is there a way of starting ubuntu in a 'safe mode'? | 23:54 |
| Sakkath | gmcastil: i know this, but it won't display on my monitor, so i was unable to; just to make sure the cd wasn't the problem, i mounted the iso on vmware... oh that's the iso, guess i gotta check the dvd damn i'm an idiot. | 23:54 |
| Arpi | connect irc.ftn.nl | 23:54 |
| gmcastil | mrthaggar: look at the boot options | 23:54 |
| gmcastil | Sakkath: ya.. :) | 23:54 |
| linchapulin | mrthaggar:: You should be able to do Ctrl-Alt-F4 to get to a non graphical login | 23:55 |
| gmcastil | mrthaggar: i think its the 2nd or 3rd option | 23:55 |
| mrthaggar | Do I do that once it's booted up, or just after POST? | 23:55 |
| gmcastil | mrthaggar: look at the boot options | 23:55 |
| themunkee | linchapulin: Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a) does that sound right? | 23:55 |
