| 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 |

| jeffMASTERflex | seanh: install an app called soundconverter | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

|---|
| K_Nine | ePax: Do you have rar installed. | 00:56 |
|---|
| ePax | histo: It does but its kinda 100 options. | 00:56 |

| macgruber | histo, i already do that, and reboot several times.. | 01:00 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| gortba | What does that mean? | 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

|---|
| linxeh | Kloss: nice one :) | 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 |

| gortba | Dr_willis: yes I do. One is unallocated. | 01:28 |

|---|
| 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 |

| 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 |

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 |

| xenthro | Q: how do i find out what driver my wifi card is using? its a linksys wusb54g rev 4 | 01:44 |
|---|
| 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

| GoldeNArX | DanThirst : I've done that | 02:18 |

|---|
| 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 |

|---|
| 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 | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| === 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

| 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 |

| Jay955 | <overcluckerLIMBO> i will have to re-install it it will not let me do anything | 03:08 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| nickrud | Gman99999: blacklisting is a much better idea than deleting them | 04:02 |
|---|

| 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 |

| cellofellow | mnemonica: sorry, I can't figure this out :$ | 04:03 |

| nickrud | norv: heh. Another decent safety net. I believe in multiple levels of preventing brain damage damaging my machine | 04:04 |

| compy | ill keep on looking... thanks for the help though | 04:05 |
|---|
| 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 |

|---|
| 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 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | gmcastil: it's not been bad - I've actually enjoyed it in a lot of ways | 04:11 |
|---|

| norv | techgeek40: and I couldn't help you with AppDB the list of working Wine apps, because yours is likely in-house | 04:14 |

|---|
| 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 |

| 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.

| seacat | Gman99999, You did all updates? | 04:39 |
|---|
| lee_ | been a while, i can't use ubuntu, but i havnt fergotton the ones that helped me lol | 04:39 |
|---|
| Gman99999 | seacat I installed it from a gutsy cd a few months ago | 04:39 |
|---|
| gmcastil | Alyxander: you also have to have hardware acceleration too | 04:39 |
|---|
| Gman99999 | seacat yes all of them | 04:39 |
|---|
| lee_ | I updated ubuntu and it broke | 04:39 |
|---|
| zachalink | well I would like to connect to a leopard imac using ubuntu 7.10 | 04:39 |
|---|
| zachalink | and samba | 04:40 |
|---|
| lee_ | so i went to another distro | 04:40 |
|---|
| zachalink | the problem is, the mac can connect to me, but not vice versa | 04:40 |
|---|
| 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 |
|---|
| Gman99999 | seacat ubuntu? | 04:40 |
|---|
| lee_ | nickrud hehee I een learning alot | 04:40 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | danielax: did that - ndiswrapper - | 04:40 |
|---|
| oxeimon | so, I've got a t61p thinkpad, running gutsy, and for some reason suspend *sometimes* doesn't work. Any ideas? | 04:40 |
|---|
| nickrud | zachalink: ah, one of those things I don't know much about at all, samba is | 04:40 |
|---|
| norv | zachalink: okay, so your server is set up properly, that's good | 04:40 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | I get the msg that the inf file has already been installed | 04:40 |
|---|
| danielax_ | lee_: can you be more descriptive than "it broke"? | 04:40 |
|---|
| zachalink | ya, I'm just having problems c onnecting with the mac | 04:40 |
|---|
| norv | zachalink: is the mac running a samba server? | 04:41 |
|---|
| nickrud | lee_: cool, any distro is better than no distro | 04:41 |
|---|
| lee_ | let see, I down loaded the up grade and was left with a screen taht had nothing on it | 04:41 |
|---|
| zachalink | I thought mac runs it by default. any idea on how to configure it on mac? | 04:41 |
|---|
| apparle | Actually I am a kubuntu user but right now I am installing a Gnome software so I thought I would ask here. 'libbonobo2-common' and 'libbonobo2-0' both depend on each other what should I do ?? | 04:41 |
|---|
| seacat | Gman99999, Is this a USB device? | 04:41 |
|---|
| Gman99999 | seacat yes it is | 04:41 |
|---|
| danielax_ | techgeek40: debugreport | 04:41 |
|---|
| lee_ | with something of an error message by the baoat load saying failed to fetch | 04:41 |
|---|
| nickrud | apparle: install them both with the same apt-get command | 04:42 |
|---|
| lee_ | also found out that my intell chip was considered proietary | 04:42 |
|---|
| gmcastil | apparle: let the package manager sort out the dependencies fo ryou | 04:42 |
|---|
| seacat | Gman99999, Tell me again what the make and model is? Linksys? | 04:42 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | danielax: okay - remember --- i don't have all the brains here today (LONG day with VERRY brain damaged customeers) do I type debugreport or is it a log file some where? if a file - where????? or how do I get to it? | 04:42 |
|---|
| Gibb | I just got xubuntu installed - how do I get the cool toolbar that ubuntu has? xubuntu is just like a desktop with some icons on it | 04:42 |
|---|
| danielax_ | techgeek40: ndiswrapper -i /your/driver/here? | 04:42 |
|---|
| Gman99999 | seacat linksys wusb54g version 4 | 04:43 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | danielax: did that - (ndiswrapper | 04:43 |
|---|
| norv | zachalink: might want to ask on #macosx, I don't really know how | 04:43 |
|---|
| danielax_ | techgeek40: it's in the directory you ran the program from, it's a plan text file | 04:43 |
|---|
| 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 |
|---|

| 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 |

| DWSR | What's the quickest way to remove xubuntu-desktop and all of it's dependancies? | 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 |

| 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

| timandtom | cube: Ah, k, thanks. So xubuntu is basically ubuntu for slow computers? Are there any major differences? | 05:36 |

| DWSR | gmcastil: It's tty1. | 05:37 |

|---|
| Tensop | uses alot | 05:41 |
|---|
| DJAdmiral | it tells me that "An error occured" after updating | 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 |

| 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 |

| Temagic | is it possible to use another theme in ubuntu than the standard brown? i.e. a blue theme? | 05:42 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
|---|
| ubotu | Found: libtcl-chiark-1, libtclap-dev, libtcltk-ruby, libtcltk-ruby1.8, libtcltk-ruby1.9 | 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 |
|---|
| DWSR | !find tcl | 05:49 |
|---|
| ubotu | Found: expect-tcl8.3, expect-tcl8.3-dev, libdb4.2-tcl, libdb4.3-tcl, python-dictclient (and 76 others) | 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 |
|---|
| fallore_ | hsystemxX: /msg nickserv register password email i think | 05:50 |

| hsystemxX | thanks. | 05:50 |

| Kuroachia | hsystemxX: /msg nickserv identify <password> | 05:50 |

|---|
| Ttech | Temagic, thansk | 05:50 |
|---|
| Tensop | naffy-duck: i removed the vista partition+restore partition and put XP on | 05:50 |
|---|
| fallore_ | Kuroachia: thats to identify after being registered, just fyi | 05:50 |
|---|
| seacat | hsystemxX, /msg nickserv identify passwordhere | 05:51 |
|---|
| 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 |
|---|
| bod_ | !repeat > fallore_ please read the private message from ubotu | 05:52 |
|---|
| sco50000 | what is the root password for the kubuntu fiesty 7.04 live cd? | 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 |

| bod_ | WGGMk, ok,. can you pastebin your output for lspci | 05:58 |

| 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 |

|---|
| 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 |

| 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 | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| gmcastil | Temagic: one little warning, before you instal - rename your home directory something else, say... "mv -v /home/Temagic /home/Temagic.old" | 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 |

| biouser | BodOmLaW, you need an ext for / and a small linux-swap partition | 06:21 |

| seacat | BodOmLaW, You should do auto partitioning. | 06:21 |

|---|
| 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 |

| 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 |

|---|
| 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 | 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 |

|---|
| bod_ | BodOmLaW, which program do you use to listen to music? | 06:46 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

|---|
| BodOmLaW | in two hours | 07:00 |

| gmcastil | bod_: agreed....but, you can be an expert at nano, and if it ain't there, you be fawked | 07:00 |

|---|
| 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 |

|---|
| 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...)

| ePax | But its one of the easier linux distros and its easy to get help as well. | 07:03 |

Could someone please look and possibly help me figure out if it is my disk that is going bad | 07:06 |
