| BronxAngel | WGGMk: yes i can do it for myself but no the other pcs. it hits the router but ends there | 00:00 |
| GERD_MD | ok.. thanks for nada | 00:00 |

| erUSUL | Taylor: try to boot X either with "startx" or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" | 00:00 |
| adelie42 | Dr_willis: ok, fine. I want F3 to open gnome-terminal | 00:00 |
| DASPRiD | WGGMk, if u use ext3: there are also 5% of your disk reserved for root only | 00:00 |
| xomp | in totem I get a green video screen with the progress bar going along as normal. With Mplayer I get "Cannot use codec" or something of the sorts. | 00:00 |
| EsxPro | Taylor, you want to run wine in text mode? | 00:00 |
| ajhtiredwolf | IndyGunFreak: yep yep that is correct | 00:00 |
| DASPRiD | (or was it 1 %) | 00:00 |
| WGGMk | ajhtiredwolf: i see, if you boot from the LiveCD it has a program called gparted with it.. which allows you to manipulate your partitions as you'd like. Its located System > Administration > Partition Tools (I think, or GParted) | 00:00 |
| Taylor | No, I want my normal Ubuntu back. >.< | 00:00 |
| danbhfive | !wireless > singlesun see the pm, and see if that gets ya started | 00:00 |

| edico | hello | 00:03 |
| Dr_willis | adelie42, i alwyas have a terminal icon on the panel. and a few terminals open. :) so F3 launching a new terminal woulb not be handy for me | 00:03 |

| BronxAngel | DNS handles translation of hostname to ip? | 00:03 |
| EsxPro | Taylor, did you change usplash? | 00:03 |
| tdoggette | I installed Hardy Alpha 3 with update-manager -d. Will the automatic updates get me up to Alpha 4 and beyond, all the way to production? | 00:03 |
| WGGMk | BronxAngel: thats exactly what a DNS does | 00:04 |
| danbhfive | tdoggette: yes, if it doesnt trash your system first | 00:04 |
| Flannel | tdoggette: yes. And hardy support is in #ubuntu+1 | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | tdoggette, they should :) and its #Ubuntu+1 for that | 00:04 |
| adelie42 | Dr_willis: I got the icon too, but it would just be nice to have terminal control from the keyboard, aside from alt-tab to something already open, or Ctrl-Alt-F# | 00:04 |

| Flannel | WGGMk: No, there isnt. I know usually theres something like 5% or so setup for filesystem record keeping and stuff. That could be it. But no, I don't see anything abnormal. The LVM partition takes up the rest of the space. Oh. I suppose you might have free LVM space. What does the second to the last line of sudo vgdisplay show? | 00:04 |
| BronxAngel | WGGMk: so it could be that my stupid router is looking for my hostnames based on the dns it gets from my cable modem? | 00:04 |
| danbhfive | adelie42: System > Preferences > Keyboard Shorcuts you will find what you are looking for there | 00:05 |

| WGGMk | Flannel: 0 / 0 | 00:05 |
| Gamer | could anyone help me with this damn hard problem? | 00:05 |
| Flannel | tdoggette: Its no big deal. People are overreacting. Once youhave hardy, you have hardy. The alpha number only matters for the ISOs themselves. AFter that, you're riding on the repository | 00:05 |

| Dr_willis | Gamer, perhaps summerize it a bit? | 00:06 |
| Flannel | WGGMk: then yeah, you're full. The 5GB is about 5%, so I imagine thats whats causing it | 00:06 |

| danbhfive | adelie42: well, there is an option to open a terminal | 00:12 |
| Dekkharyn | does anyone have a resource handy, like a ubuntu floppy usb-bootstrapper image? | 00:13 |

| PriceChild | Slart, because hardy is not ready for end users. | 00:14 |
| PriceChild | Slart, you will just cause more problems. | 00:14 |

| ajhtiredwol1 | Is anyone in here good at doing a custom install with ubuntu? I need to specify ubuntu to over write a fedora installation and install the boot loader in a different spot | 00:27 |
| BronxAngel | HipHopFan85: WGGMkmy desktop has the router in the resolv.conf but my ubuntu server has the cablemodem dns servers there | 00:27 |
| BagelMaster | He refers to my exact wireless card | 00:27 |
| HipHopFan85 | point it to ubuntu server? | 00:28 |
| BagelMaster | DWL-G650 | 00:28 |
| jrib | b4l74z4r: it does not exist | 00:28 |
| onexused | (What's the syntax for ubotu?) | 00:28 |
| Dekkharyn | DRebellion: seems a bit too in depth for me mate. I'll give it a shot though, it's to fix a very very old laptop up with some ubuntu | 00:28 |
| HipHopFan85 | BronxAngel: What is it that you have problems with? | 00:28 |
| jrib | !ubotu > onexused (read the private message from ubotu) | 00:28 |
| Dekkharyn | still, I think I'll try it again | 00:28 |
| Dekkharyn | thanks! | 00:28 |
| b4l74z4r | jrib: is it a secret feature, cause i discovered it by chance | 00:28 |
| WGGMk | BronxAngel: how is your LAN setup.. is it Modem >> Server >> Router >> PC's? | 00:28 |
| onexused | jrib: thanks | 00:28 |
| bluefoxx | ok, so my wifi card works fine in linux automatically but theres a lack of tools for detecting wireless networks in range of it to connect to, as far as i can tell | 00:28 |
| DRebellion | Dekkharyn: dive in! | 00:28 |
| BronxAngel | HipHopFan85: pcs behind same router can only ping by ip. not host name | 00:29 |
| lordleemo | bluefox try wicd | 00:29 |
| EsxPro | Taylor, for me it come from xorg.conf | 00:29 |
| xomp | wow, guess what? VLC can't play an .ogg file either... I've installed player after player here and none of them seem to be capable of playing a simple .ogg file. If this is to be expected from a base install of Gutsy then I feel badly for the linux community and it's ability to retain new users..... | 00:29 |
| jrib | b4l74z4r: not really a secret feature, no. You can configure the keyboard shortcut in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts | 00:29 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 00:29 |
| BronxAngel | WGGMk: cable modem --> router --> 2 pcs | 00:29 |
| Taylor | EsxPro: What comes from xorg.conf? | 00:29 |
| nemilar | xomp: did you install the ogg codecs? ;) | 00:29 |
| bluefoxx | also, it seems that if i mess around with network configurations it crashes and refuses to connect unless i reboot[im on my shoddy wired connection right now] | 00:29 |
| jrib | xomp: gutsy can play .ogg ootb. Try /etc/skel/Examples/Experience ubuntu.ogg | 00:29 |
| HipHopFan85 | do you maybe need to set your router as default gataway? | 00:29 |
| bluefoxx | anyone have any thoughts | 00:29 |
| bluefoxx | ? | 00:29 |
| WGGMk | BronxAngel: then your server's resolv.conf does not need to be changed, nor does your PC's resolv.conf because everything is going to be using your ISP's DNS to resolve externally | 00:30 |
| EsxPro | Taylor, try this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org | 00:30 |
| xomp | jrib, nemilar I get a green screen with Totem, Blue screen with VLC, and an error message with Mplayer. | 00:30 |
| |DuReX| | is there a website where i can see supported Tapestreamers & SCSI Controllers ? | 00:30 |
| WGGMk | HipHopFan85: BronxAngel: his router should pass this info to the PC's if its serving DHCP | 00:30 |
| xomp | nemilar, where would these codecs be? | 00:30 |
| nemilar | xomp: What's the error message? And, did you install the codecs? | 00:30 |
| danbhfive | bluefoxx: ive had the same problem. Getting a good signal was the fix for me | 00:30 |
| knopper67 | xorp: what is the error mplayer gives you? | 00:31 |
| jrib | xomp: ogg is a container format, so you are probably missing the codec it uses. In any case, try the file I suggested to see if that works first | 00:31 |
| Kevin` | |DuReX| most manufacturers will specifically say it's supported, as it's a server component | 00:31 |
| xomp | nemilar, could not open codec in Mplayer | 00:31 |
| Taylor | EsxPro: Tried that, actually, to no avail. It couldn't find it, or something along those lines. | 00:31 |
| Kevin` | (also, most are supported) | 00:31 |
| BagelMaster | Where can I find bin86 in order to setup madwifi? | 00:31 |
| HipHopFan85 | WGGMk: I agree but how is his server set up..thats what confuses me | 00:31 |
| HipHopFan85 | :D | 00:31 |
| mikebot | Is there a way to add a folder to my main menu so that I can browse through the subfolders and so on? | 00:31 |
| BronxAngel | HipHopFan85: WGGMk: the router serves .100 - .149 for dhcp but all my pcs are .10 - .99. could this be the issue? | 00:31 |
| bluefoxx | danbhfive: well it refuses to connect period, even though my main connection is a wired ethernet one | 00:31 |
| DRebellion | xomp: hrm that file works ootb for me with only mplayer installed :/ | 00:31 |
| EsxPro | Taylor, ati gc? | 00:31 |
| DRebellion | BagelMaster: sudo apt-get install bin86 | 00:31 |
| knopper67 | xomp: did you install any additional codecs after you installed gutsy? | 00:32 |
| Taylor | EsxPro: I tried "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start", too, and it just gave: [ OK ] | 00:32 |
| jrib | mikebot: you can edit the menu, just right click on the ubuntu icon and "edit menu". You can't really do what you asked though afaik | 00:32 |
| BagelMaster | DRebellion: I get | 00:32 |
| Taylor | EsxPro: Integrated video card; 945GM Family, Intel | 00:32 |
| danbhfive | bluefoxx: even the wired doesnt work? | 00:32 |
| xomp | knopper67, I've installed 0 codecs. I've simply grabbed Mplayer & VLC from Synaptic today as suggested. | 00:32 |
| WGGMk | BronxAngel: HipHopFan85: if your router is serving DHCP to the PC's and the Server, then it is not a LAN issue.. if your router is just an ACCESS POINT for the PC's to get to the server which is serving DHCP then the problem lye's on your server's DNS records | 00:32 |
| HipHopFan85 | BronxAngel: It means your PC's are not being given by DHCP server.Are you sure they are not set to static? | 00:32 |
| bluefoxx | lordleemo: wicd: package does not ecist | 00:32 |
| mikebot | jrib: When I did that I couldn't figure out how to add a folder | 00:32 |
| BagelMaster | DRebellion: I get "Reading package lists... DONE" "Reading state information... DONE" and "E: Couldn't find package bin86" | 00:33 |
| bluefoxx | danbhfive: nope, if i reconfigure it at all it drops the connection alltogether | 00:33 |
| xomp | knopper67, I've been told continually that .ogg is a natively supported container ootb, but I'm experiencing different :/ | 00:33 |
| jrib | mikebot: "new menu" | 00:33 |
| toresn | how do i make xlsfonts recognize the fonts i've installed... i've downloaded a font and put it in my ~/.fonts ... it's recognised by i.e. openoffice | 00:33 |
| DRebellion | BagelMaster: i have bin86 in my repos | 00:33 |
| najzlijiji | where can i find boot log? | 00:33 |
| HipHopFan85 | WGGmk: Set them static and they wont be in DHCP range.Is your internet working on those machine? | 00:33 |
| ConstyXIV | can you have ubuntu cleanly unmount your removable drives on standby? | 00:33 |
| toresn | *recognized | 00:33 |
| mikebot | jrib: RIght, but like, I want to be able to add a folder that has a bunch of stuff, and then browse through that stuff from the main menu. | 00:33 |
| BagelMaster | DRebellion: So were could I get it? | 00:33 |
| awmcclain | Hey all... can I use apt instead of dpkg to install a debian package I built myself? | 00:34 |
| WGGMk | HipHopFan85 wrong person | 00:34 |
| xomp | jrib, when trying to open that file in VLC I get: Unable to open '/etc/skel/Examples/Experience' | 00:34 |
| xomp | Unable to open 'ubuntu.ogg' | 00:34 |
| lordleemo | bluefox get it from sourceforge google wicd | 00:34 |
| jrib | mikebot: yes, I don't think you can do that. You can just add stuff one by one | 00:34 |
| jrib | xomp: you need to escape the space | 00:34 |
| DRebellion | BagelMaster: check, system -> administration -> software sources | 00:34 |
| bluefoxx | lordleemo: ok, will try that, ty | 00:34 |
| knopper67 | xomp: it's in /usr/share/example-content/ | 00:34 |
| mikebot | jrib: And you can't add subfolders and stuff either. | 00:34 |
| WGGMk | BronxAngel: does your server have 2 ethernet adapters? 1 coming in from modem and 1 going out to router? or do you just have the server attached to the router? | 00:34 |
| DRebellion | BagelMaster: its in the main repository | 00:34 |
| danbhfive | bluefoxx: i dunno then, id suggest to at least make sure you are updated | 00:35 |
| mikebot | jrib: Basically I want it like in Windows start menu when you add a folder you can expand the sub-folders and so on. | 00:35 |
| ajhtiredwol1 | Is the root file the boot partition? | 00:35 |
| danand_ | awmcclain - think you can do - but you have to create a local repository - why not just use dpkg?? | 00:35 |
| BagelMaster | Drebellion: I am not connected to the internet on that computer... I am talking to you from a Mac | 00:35 |
| xomp | knopper67, that file also plays but nothing but a blue screen in the player. The progress bar goes along merrily. | 00:35 |

| b4l74z4r | i tried to create a launcher for the filebrowser by putting gksudo in front of natilus in the command line but nothing happens when i click this launcher | 00:35 |
| jrib | mikebot: yes, I don't think you can do that | 00:36 |
| BronxAngel | WGGMk: HipHopFan85: i have forced both computers to use a static ip outside of the router's dhcp range. the router has it's own lan ip 19.168.15.1 but the cable modem connected to the router has an ip of 64.4.xx.xxi call the ubuntu server a server but it is not serving anything now. i want to turn it into a file server | 00:36 |
| mohbana | is there a good audio player with a big seek bar beside rhythmbox | 00:36 |

| bluefoxx | danbhfive: its an brandnew installation i just did today, everyuthing is updated, but i want to get the wifi working for a faster connection before i update | 00:36 |
| knopper67 | xorp: if it's a blue sceen, then it's probably a video driver issue or something. | 00:36 |
| xomp | knopper67, xorp? hehe | 00:36 |
| Taylor | Alright, thanks EsxPro. I'll be back. >.< | 00:36 |
| knopper67 | oh sorry...lol | 00:36 |

| HipHopFan85 | WGGmk: Does the server even have a name?:D | 00:41 |
| WGGMk | HipHopFan85: but still he router would pass all DHCP info to the server | 00:41 |

| root_ | its like xset or somehting | 00:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | najzlijiji: If it is one of the built in card readers (especially laptop) not many drivers are available | 00:42 |
| Davey24 | hi, does anyone know what the differences are between the dell version of 7.10 shipping on the m1330 is and the version you download from the ubuntu website? | 00:42 |
| mkquist | najzlijiji: mine just works, what are u using? gutsy? | 00:42 |
| jrib | root_: are you root right now? | 00:43 |
| najzlijiji | but on the boot time it says cannot enable port 8 maybe the USB cable is bad? | 00:43 |
| satoris | I've an issue in compiz ... it's the mouse | 00:43 |
| knopper67 | xomp: weird... as for the codec issue ogg is the container format for the actual encoded video. the file you were trying to play before was probably encoded in mpeg but inside and ogg file | 00:43 |
| satoris | sometime it got just crazy | 00:43 |
| root_ | jrib: no, this is a joke to get people to tell me DONT IRC AS ROOT | 00:43 |
| wolfman2323 | hi.. i was trying to run this cmd in the shell " sudo synce-serial-start" but it wont start.. | 00:43 |

| HipHopFan85 | WGGMk: I put the new Ubuntu cd and it runs fine for few minutes then it freezes.Like totally freez I have to restart it | 00:43 |
| mo0n_sniper | :)) | 00:43 |
| mo0n_sniper | @root_ | 00:43 |
| xomp | knopper67, funny thing is, I'm not sure if you're familiar with Istanbul, but when you're finished recording a desktop session you are prompted to save the file, in that box you are able to "preview" the screen recording and the video plays a treat in that but not in a standalone player like Mplayer or VLC lol | 00:43 |
| jrib | root_: hilarious... anyway, what do you mean by "blanking"? | 00:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jrib: I got a great alsa script from crimsun ,, have ost of it converted to a module already | 00:43 |
| WGGMk | HipHopFan85: define new? Hardy? or Gutsy? | 00:43 |
| root_ | jrib: the screen "blanks" like a screensaver | 00:43 |
| satoris | can someone help me out? this is unespected... mostly when I play FPS games LoL | 00:44 |
| root_ | I used to know the command to stop it | 00:44 |
| root_ | butr i have forogtten | 00:44 |
| Davey24 | Does anyone know where do download the Dell version then? | 00:44 |
| HipHopFan85 | WGGMk: Ubuntu 7.10 | 00:44 |
| jrib | root_: well 'man xset' has "noblank" at the top, but I have no idea if that does what you want | 00:44 |
| mo0n_sniper | root_ anyway why running irc as root is stupid? | 00:44 |
| bod_ | and pointless | 00:44 |
| WGGMk | HipHopFan85: so it only freeze's during the LiveCD? you running a laptop or old hardware? | 00:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | satoris: Ask in #Compiz... they can help tweak things.. but best to turn compiz off for best performance | 00:44 |
| knopper67 | xomp, do you have any issues with music files as well? | 00:44 |
| mkquist | najzlijiji: sry cant respond in there apparently right now, but i have a card reading installed and ubuntu just sees it | 00:45 |

| mo0n_sniper | it's possesed | 00:45 |
| najzlijiji | ok and front side USB reader (hub) is not working also | 00:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | satoris: Does it happen with compiz off | 00:45 |
| knopper67 | xomp, so, i'm guessing its a video driver issue, but thats only have the story | 00:45 |
| WGGMk | HipHopFan85: you running x86 build or amd64? | 00:45 |
| najzlijiji | i think it hase something to do with hardver seting for those pins on motherboard | 00:46 |
| HipHopFan85 | WGGMk: onboard graphics card, 512 RAM | 00:46 |
| knopper67 | half* | 00:46 |

| satoris | rollerball, PS/2 | 00:47 |

| bod_ | fleishman, if that file is empty then you should have 0 packages in Synaptic | 01:11 |

| Humble | I have got a problem with partitions, anyone care to help? | 01:38 |
| zura_ | my ubuntu can't play music mp3 | 01:38 |
| bruenig | !anyone | Humble | 01:38 |
| Pelo | Humble, we need more details | 01:38 |
| * bod_ thinks bruenig is more correct then Pelo,.,. terminal ftw | 01:38 | |
| ubotu | Humble: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 01:39 |
| zura_ | if i want to add application | 01:39 |
| zura_ | there are message like this | 01:39 |
| zura_ | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/breezy/Release.gpg: Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com' | 01:39 |
| Kama | thinks pelo is more than helpful | 01:39 |
| * Pelo thinks there is such athink as a learning curve , start slow then move on to the big things | 01:39 | |
| bod_ | !enter | zura_ | 01:39 |
| ubotu | zura_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:39 |
| zura_ | what this | 01:39 |
| kubitz | bruenig as anoob myself I think there are two cogent sides to that argument - but ultimately you have to type sometimes :) | 01:39 |
| bruenig | zura_, are you still using breezy? | 01:39 |
| atcla | how do i run application ?? | 01:39 |
| * gmcastil agrees with pelo | 01:39 | |
| yannick_lm | hi all | 01:39 |
| onexused | I'm trying to connect to an smb share using these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently. When I use the mount command for it, I'm told "mount error 20 = Not a directory" How do I fix this? | 01:39 |
| toresn | how do i make xlsfonts recognize the fonts i've installed... i've downloaded a font and put it in my ~/.fonts ... it's recognized by i.e. openoffice | 01:39 |
| * bod_ thinks Pelo is correct, but terminal has to be forced upon some ex-windows users | 01:39 | |
| Pelo | atcla, you can run applications from the menu , or you can type the name of the app in the terminal | 01:40 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i think thats why things seem so helter skelter in here - a lot of people that have never used unix before and want to do a lot of more advanced things | 01:40 |
| Zofo | kubitz: thats about as far as i got. i downloded them and put them on the cumputer but thats as far as i got. i hoped that there was a package that would be an easy install | 01:40 |
| zura_ | sorry i am newbie | 01:40 |
| * bruenig thinks sudo apt-get update is a very good place to start as it is something which is easily understood and remembered | 01:40 | |
| yannick_lm | When I maximized a window with XFCE, I lost the decorations at the bottom. Someone know how to fix that ? | 01:40 |
| * gmcastil really wishes that people would think about their questions instead of screaming "How do I xxx" | 01:40 | |
| Kama | ok. how do i update my system? ie first thing on a new install | 01:40 |
| mattgyver83 | does anyone know of a good dvd authoring program available for linux? | 01:40 |
| * Pelo thinks all this telepathy is givng him a headache | 01:40 | |
| cabroni_ | how can I add a HP Laserjet 1000 series? | 01:40 |
| kubitz | Zofo sorry that was all I could find | 01:40 |
| * bod_ thinks bruenig is correct ONLY if apt-get is explained to the user first | 01:40 | |
| gmcastil | Kama: have you read the documentation? | 01:40 |
| bruenig | Kama, for cmd in update upgrade; do sudo apt-get $option; done | 01:41 |
| gmcastil | bod_: of course...users's don't know what a terminal is | 01:41 |
| Pelo | Kama, in the terminal type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 01:41 |
| * bruenig thinks that answer is a bad one | 01:41 | |
| Tann | Who ever told me to try to use recovery mode, it didn't work still | 01:41 |
| danand | kama - apt-get update then apt-get upgrade | 01:41 |
| Kama | documentation? Hell no, that is what Pelo is for | 01:41 |
| bruenig | Kama, for cmd in update upgrade; do sudo apt-get $cmd; done | 01:41 |
| jaggz- | hola. How do I control the speed/acceleration of multiple input (pointer) devices? | 01:41 |
| atcla | whats extension in linux of .exe file ? | 01:41 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, do you mean ex-windows users? or all users? | 01:41 |
| Humble | Look, I've got a problem with partitions on my ubuntu install. I tried to install a windows/ubuntu dual boot situation using two seperate partitions and now Windows has gone ahead and deactivated the partition with Ubuntu on it. I need the files on my ubuntu partition and can't just whipe it and start again, so does anyone know a way in which I can just reactivate the partition with Ubuntu on it, even if it means deleting the Windows partition | 01:41 |
| Pelo | Kama, also , menu > system> admin > update manager | 01:41 |
| gmcastil | Kama: you've no idea how annoying it is when people don't do their own reading first | 01:41 |
| bruenig | Humble, fs-driver.org | 01:41 |
| bod_ | atcla, there are no .exe files,. but files can be executable | 01:41 |
| kubitz | mattgyver83 i'm assuming http://www.dvdflick.net/download.php will work with wine? | 01:41 |
| bruenig | gmcastil, pelo is apparently unbothered so whatever | 01:42 |
| yu | hi | 01:42 |
| gmcastil | Humble: i'd try the liveCD with the safe option | 01:42 |
| atcla | bod_: i installed Counter strike server. how do i run it ?? | 01:42 |
| tom2002 | when coding in windows ... the windows.h header file is used ... when coding with ubuntu ... what do i put in its place ??? | 01:42 |
| Kama | you have no idea how annoying it is to be an ubuntu noob and not have stuff just work properly | 01:42 |
| mattgyver83 | ill look into it, thanks kubitz. | 01:42 |
| Kama | want to trade places? | 01:42 |
| Pelo | bruenig, I jsut anser question as they come if I can | 01:42 |
| bruenig | if someone said that documentation was unnecessary because he could just bug someone in irc about it, I would think that is a bad thing to say but who am I | 01:42 |
| gmcastil | bruenig: i think that telling people to try google first and reading documentation is helping them - 90% of linux is learning where to find answers | 01:42 |
| bod_ | atcla, i have played this game once or twice,. but setting up a server is beyond my knowledge,. explain how you would do it in windows,.,. i might be able to translate | 01:42 |
| Tann | Pelo: recovery mode didn't work | 01:42 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i do too...but it's hard sometimes, when no one has thought out their questions or done any reading at all | 01:43 |
| danand | Humble - how do you mean - deactivated? | 01:43 |
| Humble | Gmcastll I can't use the live CD, that's the other problem. I installed Ubuntu using unetbootin and don't have any blank DVDs laying around. This fs-driver thing may just work though. | 01:43 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, but being told to google it everytime you ask a question is so annoying | 01:43 |
| cabroni_ | I have been aded as a new print, but it not respond | 01:43 |
| Pelo | Kama, you'll get the hang of it evenutaly, here aer a few resources to help you get started, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ | 01:43 |
| mohbana | does anyone use wxDownload Fast? | 01:43 |
| tom2002 | how do i replace the windows.h header file ??? | 01:43 |
| Kama | thanks bod | 01:43 |
| bod_ | Kama, what did i do? | 01:43 |
| gmcastil | bod_: well, that doesn't happen if its clear that people have already been there | 01:43 |
| bruenig | !find windows.h | 01:43 |
| Kama | "but being told to google it everytime you ask a question is so" | 01:43 |
| ubotu | File windows.h found in ecos, irssi-dev, libcamel1.2-dev, libdirectfb-dev, libgmime-2.0-2-dev (and 10 others) | 01:43 |
| Zofo | kubitz: Well thanks for the help. this is the hardest linux problem i have had | 01:43 |
| Cruller | So for everyone else the mic thing in ubuntu 'just works'? Is there something I could be missing? Sound Recorder not working? Something? | 01:43 |
| cabroni_ | is there a hp laserjet 1000 driver for linux? | 01:43 |
| tom2002 | that would produce a windows program .. | 01:44 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, but google is useless if the person using it cannot phrase the question correctly,. almost as useless as you telling them to google it | 01:44 |
| bruenig | Cruller, check in alsamixer if the volume is up | 01:44 |
| onexused | Cruller: What sound card? | 01:44 |
| gmcastil | bod_: i disagree | 01:44 |
| Pelo | Tann, I'm stumped, are both kubuntu and ubuntu on the same hdd ? try from ubuntu sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop maybe it will restore files that might be missing | 01:44 |
| Kama | the thing is GM, I couldnt find jack about how to get flash to install. | 01:44 |
| bod_ | Kama, oh,.,. no probs | 01:44 |
| n08l3J_ | hello ubuntu people | 01:44 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, for what reason? | 01:44 |
| Kama | so i came here | 01:44 |
| nancy | Hey, all - this is techgeek40 --- I'm helping my niece get up on Ubuntu - | 01:44 |
| n08l3J_ | I am experiencing this weird problem | 01:44 |
| tom2002 | using windows.h would produce a windows program that i would have to run with wine ... right ???? | 01:44 |
| Kama | and while here i tossed out the last remaining questions | 01:44 |
| bruenig | !enter | nancy | 01:44 |
| Cruller | everything is maxed out, it's just the sound chip that comes in the motherboard, intel HDA | 01:44 |
| gmcastil | bod_: not to mention that there is also documentation prominently placed on the Ubuntu website in addition to the forums that address a lot of the problems that come up in here | 01:44 |
| ubotu | nancy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 01:44 |
| n08l3J_ | all of sudden my network-manager stops responding and disconnect my wireless | 01:45 |
| Tann | Pelo: I am running kde on ubuntu | 01:45 |
| gmcastil | bod_: look at some of these: "I am experiencing this wierd problem" | 01:45 |
| * Pelo is gonna go and buy some brain ( junk ) food | 01:45 | |
| Pelo | Tann, same answer then | 01:45 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, to a new user this can be very daunting,. talking to human beings in real-time is more usefull then 200 pages of gobbldy gook | 01:45 |
| Pelo | later folks | 01:45 |
| * gmcastil thinks Pelo needs beer | 01:45 | |
| n08l3J_ | any clues where to find what happen and how to correct this issue i am using ipw3945 driver on dell inspirpn 1505 | 01:45 |
| DOOM_NX | hi | 01:45 |
| mohbana | does anyone use wxDownload Fast? | 01:45 |
| onexused | Cruller: I know the mic hasn't been gotten to work for some sound blaster cards. I'd have to look about Intel HDA. | 01:46 |
| bruenig | n08l3J_, does the interface show up in iwconfig | 01:46 |
| DOOM_NX | what's the command/program to check the speed of ur hard drive? | 01:46 |
| Kama | not only 200 pages, but thousands of pages, referring to many distros. It could be written in chineese for all it helped me | 01:46 |
| tom2002 | would using the windows.h file produce a linux program ???? | 01:46 |
| gmcastil | bod_: i agree with that...but a lot of the questions come from people that have never used linux before asking about how to configure an apache server or samba or some other thing | 01:46 |
| atcla | bod_: ok when u install there should be .exe file which contains server's set up. i need to find that file and run it, problem is i dunno which files are running or not, and how to run files on linux. what command should i use to open\run file | 01:46 |
| gmcastil | bod_: it's clear that the majority of the people in this channel haven't even bothered to read any of the documentation | 01:46 |
| danand | nancy - try to explain what your error is :) | 01:46 |
| Cruller | I ran in to a lot of guides with people seemingly having the same problems, but it was mostly just 'turn your mic settings on in alsamixer" | 01:46 |
| rainwalker | is PCRE in the repos? | 01:47 |
| gmcastil | Kama: I'm referring to Ubuntu specific documentation | 01:47 |
| Kama | does that mean you shouldnt help them gm? | 01:47 |
| nancy | dandand: need to register with the ubuntu server | 01:47 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, but these users are generally used to a click and and a wizard does everything,. but a huge wiki is worse then a step-by-step from a human in here | 01:47 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: apt-cache search PCRE | 01:47 |
| n08l3J_ | yes bruenig | 01:47 |
| onexused | Cruller: I'm having sound problems on a different linux OS and that's mostly what I get too, lol. | 01:47 |
| Kama | i am referring to ubuntu specific stuff too. thousands of google pages | 01:47 |
| nancy | !register | 01:47 |
| ubotu | By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 01:47 |
| bod_ | atcla, an application can be run by typing the name of the application nto a terminal | 01:47 |
| kubitz | gmcastil to be fair one of the first things most of us newbies need to do is configure Samba as we usually need to carry on sharing with windows. | 01:47 |
| n08l3J_ | it is working fine and will work for couple hours | 01:47 |
| bruenig | n08l3J_, does it appear to be configured with the essid specified and such? | 01:47 |
| n08l3J_ | yes | 01:47 |
| rainwalker | gmcastil: it listed a lot of things, how do I know what to install? | 01:48 |
| bruenig | n08l3J_, so try dhclient eth1 | 01:48 |
| n08l3J_ | bruenig: I am running it without any problem right now | 01:48 |
| bruenig | or whatever the interface is | 01:48 |
| bod_ | kubitz, ntfs3g lets you share files with windows partitions,.,. whyyou need samba (which i dont know about) is beyond me | 01:48 |
| bruenig | n08l3J_, so you are just complaining about gui failure or do you have a real problem? | 01:48 |
| n08l3J_ | bruenig: | 01:48 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: pastebin the output...why do you need PCRE? | 01:48 |
| n08l3J_ | bruenig: no no | 01:48 |
| atcla | bod_: can u give me an example | 01:48 |
| bod_ | atcla, in a terminal type totem | 01:48 |
| rainwalker | gmcastil: I'm compiling a plugin for pidgin that says what you're listening to | 01:48 |
| bod_ | rainwalker, cool | 01:49 |
| kubitz | bod_ alright that was bad example but you take my point people expect to carry on doing what they were doing with windows | 01:49 |
| n08l3J_ | bruenig: It do something after that the system starts responding weirdly by that i mean, i can not launch any new apsp, sometimes some app works some doesn;t | 01:49 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: ah...yeah, that'd explain it...and yeah, that is kinda cool :) | 01:49 |
| FSWolf_ | hi | 01:49 |
| runemaste644 | I think i found a bug in the bug report tool... | 01:49 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: pastebin your output, and i'll take a look at it | 01:49 |
| Cruller | letsee if it's sound recorder fucking up by installing skype =| | 01:49 |
| rainwalker | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54571/ | 01:49 |
| kubitz | I have been lucky inasmuch as most of the manuals made sense and I haven't had a real issues so far | 01:49 |
| n08l3J_ | bruenig: even when i try to run like find command through cli it just stays there hanged | 01:49 |
| bod_ | kubitz, exactly, and a wiki is worse then a human,. this is what im trying to educate gmcasti with | 01:49 |
| FSWolf_ | im having trouble setting up ubuntu 7.10 to run two monitors off a dual head ATI card can any one else? | 01:49 |
| FSWolf_ | help* | 01:50 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: is the configure script giving you an error? | 01:50 |
| mohbana | does anyone use wxDownload Fast? | 01:50 |
| Cruller | dual monitors are a pain in the ass | 01:50 |
| bruenig | n08l3J_, well stop running network-manager if you think that is the problem | 01:50 |
| rainwalker | bod_ and gmcastil: here's the page for that plugin http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/ | 01:50 |
| bod_ | !repeat | mohbana | 01:50 |
| ubotu | mohbana: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 01:50 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: that's hot.... | 01:50 |
| rainwalker | gmcastil: yes | 01:50 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: what error is ./configure giving you? | 01:50 |
| bod_ | rainwalker, i dont use pidgin but are you planning on writing something similiar for xchat? | 01:50 |
| tom2002 | any ideas on how to fix my header file issue ? | 01:50 |
| rainwalker | "PCRE library is needed; please make sure you have the PCRE development files installed." | 01:50 |
| runemaste644 | When i tried to run it it showed a weird screen with the X11 logo. I got back to my desktop, but i couldnt click and i had to ctrl alt backspace. | 01:50 |
| Cruller | I had a *nix guru mess around with xorg for maybe an hour before he got it working, and even then it was a lot less than perfect | 01:50 |
| n08l3J_ | bruenig: How should i connect to wireless then ? | 01:50 |
| bruenig | n08l3J_, iwconfig and dhclient | 01:51 |
| rainwalker | bod_ I would if I knew anything about writing code | 01:51 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: sudo apt-get install pcregrep | 01:51 |
| runemaste644 | Now when i try to login to gnome, i get a tan screen and it does nothing | 01:51 |
| Frogzoo | Cruller: even nix gurus aren't x gurus | 01:51 |
| rainwalker | gmcastil: ok I saw that in synaptic but wasn't sure that's what I needed, thanks =) | 01:51 |
| bod_ | rainwalker, how are you writing one for pidgin without knowing anything about code? | 01:51 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: that last one is the dealio, i'd imagine - if it has any dependancies, it'l probably resolve automagically | 01:51 |
| mohbana | is there a site dedicated to forcing certain companies to open source there drivers? | 01:51 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: yup, np | 01:51 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: forcing? hehe | 01:51 |
| rainwalker | bod_: I'm not writing it, I'm compiling what's already been written | 01:51 |
| FSWolf_ | could some one please help me :( | 01:52 |
| runemaste644 | i went into KDE and reported the bug i was going to report, but how do i fix Gnome? | 01:52 |
| bod_ | rainwalker, ah,.,. my bad,.,. lol | 01:52 |
| cabroni_ | how to configure this printer in ubuntu 7.10 !?!!! , it doesnt run , .FUCK! | 01:52 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: "You can't sell your product anymore - we won't allow it!" | 01:52 |
| gmcastil | cabroni_: noob | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | !ohmy | cabroni_ | 01:52 |
| ubotu | cabroni_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:52 |
| rainwalker | !language > cabroni_ | 01:52 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: that company wouldn't be around very long :) | 01:52 |
| bod_ | gmcastil, n00b bash once more and il complain on -ops | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on the printer to some degree also. | 01:52 |
| runemaste644 | im going to be afk for a sec | 01:52 |
| Ex-Cyber | tom2002, Ubuntu doesn't really have an equivalent to windows.h | 01:52 |
| Cruller | or not, now I get some dependency problems trying to install skype x_X | 01:52 |
| Dr_willis | cabroni_, whats the exact printer Kind/type? | 01:53 |
| Cruller | *sigh* | 01:53 |
| mohbana | gmcastil, ok how about asking them to release linux drivers | 01:53 |
| gmcastil | rainwalker: did configure pass through it? | 01:53 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: depends on the company | 01:53 |
| MixyPlixy | Would anyone be able to help me get my wacom tablet running smoothly? | 01:53 |
| Dr_willis | !wacom | 01:53 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wacom - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:53 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: typically, though, the open source community winds up cranking out there own drivers that are better than the companies anyway | 01:53 |
| bod_ | !info wacom | 01:53 |
| cabroni_ | HP Laserjet 1000 series | 01:53 |
| ubotu | Package wacom does not exist in gutsy | 01:53 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: intel, ATI, and nvidia are notable exceptions to that | 01:53 |
| MixyPlixy | :s | 01:54 |
| aconbere | I'm having a hard time getting sudo working with my users. I'm used to specifying a group that's able to run commands via sudo so in this case I've specified wheel | 01:54 |
| aconbere | %wheel ALL=(All) ALL | 01:54 |
| * Pelo is back with yogourt coverd raisins | 01:54 | |
| Dr_willis | cabroni_, some of the hp all in ones, need the hpoj service running. Not sure on your exact model however. Most HP's are very well supported under Linux with CUPS. | 01:54 |
| aconbere | but my user in wheel isn't able to run any commands | 01:54 |
| astro76 | aconbere: it's the admin group | 01:54 |
| gmcastil | mohbana: it's not usually that they need to release linux drivers - the trick is gettin them to place them under the GPL, which is harder to do | 01:54 |
| * bod_ thinks Pelo should share the love | 01:54 | |
| aconbere | astro76: it shouldn't matter | 01:54 |
| * gmcastil has Newcastle | 01:54 | |
| aconbere | astro76: it's just a group | 01:54 |
| kubitz | ironically the only issue I did have turned out to be a dead wifi adapter. I had always kept it as a spare and it never occurred to be that it didn't work. So testing the hardware was the last thing I did - dummy that I was. | 01:54 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: Beer >>> yogurt covered anything | 01:55 |
| MixyPlixy | I can plug it in and everything works, except for hovering, and being able to configure buttons. | 01:55 |
| compwiz18 | cabroni_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=200179 | 01:55 |
| aconbere | astro76: so if I add a group to the group file, and add my users to the group, they should be able to run commands | 01:55 |
| cabroni_ | cups are already run in my computer, but it not have GUI? | 01:55 |
| compwiz18 | cabroni_: cups gui is found in system -> adminstration -> printers | 01:55 |
| Ex-Cyber | tom2002, windows.h is really a shortcut for a bunch of Windows libraries and constants; on a Linux system, each major library package has its own include file... for example if you are writing a GTK program, you do: #include <gtk/gtk.h> | 01:55 |
| atcla | bod_: haha i was like wtf is terminaL :DD now i cc its console :DD ok so i just type in the name and it runs | 01:55 |
| astro76 | aconbere: agreed, but it's setup with admin by default in ubuntu | 01:55 |
| atcla | im gonna look for dat filke | 01:55 |
| Dr_willis | cabroni_, i recall there being a nice gui in gnome to set up the printers. Check your system.settings menus? | 01:56 |
| bod_ | atcla, if its an executable file then yes,.,.are you a recent convert? | 01:56 |
| cabroni_ | i have been added this print, but it not print the sample page | 01:56 |

| Dr_willis | if you are starting with linux.. gentoo was not a good place to begin. :) | 01:58 |
| cheesypieces | guys, every video on my computer doesn't play... it just shows a pink screen. any ides? | 01:58 |
| astro76 | aconbere: and stupid question but you've used visudo to edit? | 01:58 |
| atcla | Dr_willis: yea :D but it happned | 01:58 |
| cheesypieces | *ideas | 01:58 |
| bod_ | atcla, im a 2 month ubuntu user,.,. its not that difficult ,.,. most answers can be found on the forums / google / or here,. so try and run your programme through the terminal,.,. what happens? | 01:58 |
| Pelo | cheesypieces, try turning off desktop effects | 01:58 |
| atcla | i was stuch with 96 pages on manual and no knowlegde at all | 01:58 |
| jbw4 | guys, I have a strange problem. I just tried to install git vc via apt-get. The install failed, and when I re-ran it, it complained about missing /etc/inittab. I checked, and sure enough..../etc/inittab is not there. Now, I haven't used this file in ages...does Gutsy still use an /etc/inittab or does it place it elsewhere? | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | Ubuntu has a staggering amount of forum/docs/guides/help :) | 01:58 |
| === ytdtyfu is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| Dr_willis | of course you can always cheat and look at guides/docs for other disrtos for some parts. | 01:59 |
| atcla | bod_: i cant find what to run yet | 01:59 |
| bod_ | atcla, lol,.,.ok,.,. il sit here twiddling my thumbs *twiddles thumbs* | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | atcla, i often use the gentoo wiki pages for some information | 01:59 |
| atcla | like when u install files, is there shortucts or any oither way to access them besides dir | 01:59 |
| rainwalker | gmcastil: it didn't work | 01:59 |
| aconbere | astro76: well I tried that after vim didn't work. | 01:59 |
| cheesypieces | pelo, i still have the same problem with effects turned off | 01:59 |
| bod_ | atcla, yer, remember the name, and run from terminal | 02:00 |
| atcla | Dr_willis: i have print outs :D i even have linux shorten command list | 02:00 |
| aconbere | astro76: I read that note at the top, and promptly ignored it as quickly as I do the note at the top of crontab | 02:00 |
| aconbere | :P | 02:00 |
| astro76 | aconbere: I'm not familiar with the consequences of not using visudo, but that could be your problem | 02:00 |
| Pelo | cheesypieces, go into synaptic, search for gstreamer , install every single gstreamer0.10 package you see | 02:00 |
| aconbere | astro76: heh, that would be supremely bollocks :) | 02:00 |
| atcla | bod_: win and linux should have diff names of exe files, dont u think | 02:00 |
| jbw4 | does ubuntu even use an inittab? | 02:00 |
| Flannel | aconbere: ALL is different than All | 02:00 |
| Flannel | jbw4: no | 02:00 |
| Pelo | jbw4, I think it's been phased out | 02:01 |
| jbw4 | ah, I see. | 02:01 |
| rainwalker | gmcastil: should I just compile pcre myself? | 02:01 |
| jbw4 | ok, thanks. I was scared | 02:01 |
| jbw4 | ;) | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | jbw4, ubuntu is using the upstart system. Inittab is not used much by ubuntu I think | 02:01 |
| aconbere | Flannel: Thanks! | 02:01 |
| Pelo | Flannel, do you know how to Setup a spooldirectory without printfilter. Serialport baudrate must be 9600. | 02:01 |
| astro76 | aconbere: it seems to be just syntax checking and edit locking... at the same time I don't see the sense purposefully not using it | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | !upstart | jbw4 | 02:01 |
| ubotu | jbw4: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 02:01 |
| aconbere | astro76: yeah visudo just locks and what not | 02:01 |
| Flannel | Pelo: No | 02:01 |
| * Pelo can never get any help in this channel | 02:01 | |
| bod_ | atcla, linux does not use .exe as a file extension, as you no every thing you do in gui, is just run in command line, where you cant see it,. so we set an appliaction to be execuatable, instead of giving it a .exe extension,.,. this solves are problems | 02:02 |
| Flannel | aconbere: You should *always* use visudo | 02:02 |
| aconbere | Flannel: why? | 02:02 |
| Flannel | aconbere: it saves you from making mistakes that'll render sudo useless. | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | visudo error checks befor exiting. :) | 02:02 |
| astro76 | aconbere: it's funny you are having unexplained issues and asking why ;) | 02:02 |
| bod_ | atcla, thus being able to run anny applicatiion from terminal becomes a simple programme instead f programme.exe | 02:02 |
| aconbere | astro76: clearly it's not smart enough to recognizee mispellings :) | 02:02 |
| atcla | bod_: yea u rite | 02:03 |
| Flannel | aconbere: Aliases are arbitrary. | 02:03 |
| aconbere | Flannel: sure | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | theres no need for a .exe extension, when you have the executable bit to tag files as executable. | 02:03 |
| aragorn | I have a question about gnome xchat; i know this is a place for questions about ubuntu | 02:03 |
| aconbere | so I just don't see the point | 02:03 |
| * aconbere shrugs | 02:03 | |
| Flannel | aconbere: Having a config that doesn't work is different than having syntax errors. | 02:03 |
| lordleemo | atcla does this help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=266403 | 02:03 |
| rainwalker | aragorn: normal xchat is better, in my opinion, but what's your question? | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | You need the 'vijustdowhatirealymeansudo' editor. | 02:03 |
| aconbere | Flannel: undertsandably | 02:03 |
| gmcastil | Has anyone else had problems getting Openoffice to recognize an installed JRE? | 02:03 |
| bod_ | atcla, and were proud of it,.,. theres alot of windows bashers about, so try not to compare things, unless you wanna start an argument | 02:03 |
| aconbere | Flannel: but frankly I'm not concerned about locking of sudoers, so I don't see why I should use visudo | 02:04 |
| aragorn | rainwalker: i have heard that before. how do you install normal xchat then? | 02:04 |
| bod_ | atcla, but anyway, have you found that file yet??? | 02:04 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, first time I 've heard of it , maybe in #openoffice.org | 02:04 |
| Flannel | aconbere: Its not a locking issue primarily. Its a "dont save if you have syntax errors, because that'll make you unhappy" issue. | 02:04 |
| rainwalker | aragorn: I think you just install it with synaptic; install "xchat" instead of "xchat-gnome" | 02:04 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: "javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment" | 02:05 |
| aconbere | Flannel: which is nice and all, but I'm not sure that would ever make it to "always" for me :P | 02:05 |
| bod_ | aragorn, from termnal type sudo apt-get install xchat | 02:05 |
| aconbere | it's a convient tool, and I might think about using it in the future | 02:05 |
| atcla | bod_: i think i did | 02:05 |
| aconbere | it just doesn't seem to warrent the warning :P | 02:05 |
| Pelo | aconbere, go in menu > applications > add remove, search for xchat , install it , xchat-gnome will get removed | 02:05 |
| atcla | i type in "steam" file name | 02:05 |
| atcla | and i says bash "steam" bad command | 02:05 |
| jack-desktop | is there a reason why my compiz fusion cube only goes to 22 and not all the way to 32? | 02:05 |
| bod_ | atcla, ok,.,. your not sounding very positive? | 02:05 |
| aragorn | bod_: sudo wont help me | 02:05 |
| aconbere | Pelo: wrong a | 02:05 |
| atcla | *it | 02:05 |
| bod_ | aragorn, whats your prob? | 02:05 |
| Flannel | aconbere: If you want to screw up your system, go right ahead. We won't stop you from being haphazard. But don't come here when you've broken something because you did something that we told you not to. | 02:05 |
| Pelo | aragorn, go in menu > applications > add remove, search for xchat , install it , xchat-gnome will get removed | 02:06 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i'm pretty sure that i need to configure it inside OO, but it doesn't find it automatically - do you happen to know what particular lib/bin is used for the JRE? | 02:06 |
| bod_ | atcla, you have not installed steam? | 02:06 |
| cheesypieces | pelo, i still have the same problem with the videos | 02:06 |
| aragorn | pelo: thanks | 02:06 |
| atcla | bod_: i did what it said | 02:06 |
| aconbere | Flannel: sounds good | 02:06 |

| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||

| Pelo | cheesypieces, did you mess around with any video settings ? | 02:07 |
| generalj__ | anyone use checkinstall? | 02:08 |

| Pelo | belorix, you are on the internet right now aren't you ? | 02:08 |
| belorix | yea | 02:08 |
| belorix | but that in another part of the house | 02:08 |
| Pelo | aragorn, at the bottom of the application menu | 02:08 |
| cheesypieces | pelo, not that i remember. in fact i had just finished one (which was fine) and then went to another, which was purple. all purple after that | 02:08 |

| Dr_willis | long cable? | 02:08 |
| aragorn | pelo: cant find it | 02:09 |
| Pelo | belorix, try this, read up on the problem on the computer you are on now, or you can also try using a cable connection on your other comp while you slove the problem | 02:09 |
| Pelo | cheesypieces, no idea then | 02:09 |
| cheesypieces | ok pelo, thanks anyway | 02:09 |
| Pelo | aragorn, are you using ubuntu , kubuntu or xubuntu ? | 02:09 |
| aragorn | pelo: ubuntu | 02:09 |
| Pelo | cheesypieces, borked video card maybe | 02:09 |
| Pelo | aragorn, open a terminal , type sudo apt-get install xchat | 02:10 |
| aragorn | pelo: sudo will not help me | 02:10 |
| aragorn | i am not a 'sudo' | 02:10 |
| Flannel | aragorn: then you can't install regular xchat, ask your system administrator to do it for you | 02:10 |
| Pelo | aragorn, that is why you do not have a add remove in your application menu, you do not have permission to install applications, you will need to ask the computer's admin | 02:11 |
| Dr_willis | Or get the xchat source and compile it just for yourself. | 02:11 |
| aragorn | ok | 02:11 |
| aragorn | in that case i have a question about gnome ;) | 02:11 |

| mynyml | Pelo: yeah; if i talk in it i can hear it on the speakers | 02:14 |
| aconbere | Flannel: I mean for me, I'm more worried about borking an vhost config, or a backup script, than I am with borking my sudoers file (given that I have key'd ssh to my root account) | 02:14 |

| kenalex | hello | 02:14 |
| cheesypieces | guys how do i restart my pc from within a terminal? | 02:15 |
| Pelo | mynyml, probably a skype issue then , try to see if you can'T find the way to specify the mic or the sound device in the skype config menues or smeonting | 02:15 |

| K_Nine | kenalex: You can download the Ubuntu DVD. | 02:16 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, try asking in #openoffice.org | 02:17 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i did...no one's home :) | 02:17 |
| cosmodad | wers: you probably need to change the default browser in your KDE/GNOME setting. | 02:17 |
| Pelo | wers, FF preferences first tab I beleive | 02:17 |
| aragorn | pelo: i tried to reconnect again. and xchat went out, just like before | 02:17 |

| Pelo | aragorn, I don't know | 02:17 |
| aragorn | ok | 02:18 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: yeah, under tools...it lets me add one, but I'm not sure what it's looking for - a lib? an executable? | 02:18 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, I would assume a lib | 02:18 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i'm pretty sure thta its just a configuration issue, but i don't know enough about the JRE to know what it wants | 02:18 |
| Aloha | _D: test | 02:18 |
| Aloha | _D test | 02:18 |
| wers | cosmodad and Pelo, my default browser is firefox but the links are opened in konqueror | 02:18 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: if i knew what file i was looking for, i could chase it down | 02:18 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, openoffice is part of the default install of ubuntu , it should be very stable and fully integrated | 02:18 |
| aragorn | pelo: perhaps you could remind me where to find the feature 'reconnect on disconnect' or something similar to that ? | 02:19 |
| aragorn | it may solve my problem | 02:19 |
| Pelo | wers, check in the xchat parameters then | 02:19 |
| Pelo | aragorn, try asking in #xchat | 02:19 |
| generalj__ | hmmm is checkinstall the only program of it kind? it seems a little outdated.. | 02:19 |
| belorix | with ndiswrapper do you have to donwload all 3? | 02:19 |
| wers | Pelo, it happens in abiword too | 02:19 |

| runemaste644 | I think i found a bug in the bug report tool... | 02:21 |
| K_Nine | wers: This is the script it uses firefox '%u' | 02:21 |
| runemaste644 | When i tried to run it it showed a weird screen with the X11 logo. I got back to my desktop, but i couldnt click and i had to ctrl alt backspace. | 02:21 |
| Pelo | wers, I don't know then, did you get the lucinda font from the link I gave you ? | 02:21 |
| runemaste644 | Now when i try to login to gnome, i get a tan screen and it does nothing | 02:21 |
| aragorn | does anyone know where i can find that feature that was something to do with reconnecting when disconnected ? | 02:21 |
| runemaste644 | i went into KDE and reported the bug i was going to report, but how do i fix Gnome? | 02:21 |
| wers | Pelo, I'm downloading the fonts tarball now | 02:21 |
| wers | it's just that, I think, there are so many fonts included. hehe | 02:21 |
| Pelo | runemaste644, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 02:21 |
| K_Nine | aragorn: Which chat program? | 02:21 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: it's looking for a specific file..do you know which one? | 02:21 |
| Vad1 | Where are my printer settings stored? | 02:21 |
| aragorn | K_Nine: gnome xchat | 02:22 |
| wers | K_Nine, what do I do with that script? | 02:22 |
| runemaste644 | i have to reinstall gnome?????? | 02:22 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, no , I was assuming that once you got to the proper folder the selection screen would have narrowed it down for you | 02:22 |
| runemaste644 | ill try to login to gnome again | 02:22 |
| Pelo | runemaste644, I 'M just guessing that you removed an important file | 02:22 |
| runemaste644 | i didnt remove something | 02:23 |
| generalj__ | so anyone use Autodeb ? | 02:23 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: it's not really clear what its looking for | 02:23 |
| K_Nine | That is the script that the Konversation Chat uses. I like Konversation because there are so many settings to use. | 02:23 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, which java do you have installed on your comp ? | 02:23 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, in mine it'S /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.03/jre | 02:24 |
| K_Nine | wers: I just opened Gnu X-Chat and didn't see any setting for that. Try Konversation. There is a tutorial on settng it up. Seach Google for Ubuntu-Classroom. | 02:25 |
| runemaste644 | k its fixed now | 02:25 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i have the same thing installed on mine | 02:25 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: lemme see if that path works | 02:25 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, I mean that is what I see when check in openoffice | 02:26 |
| bod_ | hey guys,. if i have message logging on in xchat, does it make a file where i can read every single word its ever recorded? | 02:26 |
| runemaste644 | Should i report this as a bug or is it just a temporary malfunction | 02:26 |
| Pelo | runemaste644, it's not a bug, you messed someting up | 02:26 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: when i try to give it that path in the config menu, it says that a JRE doesn't exist in that folder | 02:26 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: i wonder if i'm missing some other package here that i don't know about | 02:26 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, linux is case sensitive | 02:27 |
| runemaste644 | and logging into kde, logging out, and logging into gnome fixed it. | 02:27 |
| Aggie288 | i've been trying to make a usb flash boot to install ubuntu, but it doesn't work | 02:27 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, try up to the jre folderand the folder one level up | 02:27 |
| runemaste644 | I doubt that KDE magically fixed it | 02:27 |
| gmcastil | pelo, yes, i'm aware its case sensitive :) | 02:27 |

| annienygma | when you first boot? | 02:30 |
| cheesypieces | yes, i am | 02:30 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, might want to try and remove it ,and reisntall 6 that might be the issue | 02:30 |
| annienygma | and you have kubuntu installed, right? | 02:30 |
| cheesypieces | no, i'm on ubuntu | 02:30 |
| cheesypieces | although i have the kubuntu-desktop installed if thats what you mena | 02:30 |

| gmcastil | Pelo: i added a couple of oo packages, namely calc | 02:31 |

| belorix | can anyone walk me through teh madwifi install i dont quit under stand it | 02:31 |
| WhoNeedszzz | this is a big problem so i need help bad | 02:31 |
| scguy318 | iNTRONIX: for changing bootup splash see !usplash | 02:31 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, calc is the spreadsheet right ? should have been there by default | 02:32 |
| iNTRONIX | ok htx | 02:32 |
| annienygma | for instance, when I wanted to try xubuntu, I ran sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop... when it installed, I set my login preferences to gnome, but my startup screen still says xubuntu | 02:32 |
| iNTRONIX | thx | 02:32 |
| K_Nine | cheesypieces: Do you have the Gnome desktop installed? | 02:32 |
| cheesypieces | k_nine, yes i do | 02:32 |
| WhoNeedszzz | has anyone had trouble with the "X" process?? | 02:32 |
| cheesypieces | in fact its what i use | 02:33 |
| cheesypieces | but i just can't find the options to change the login page | 02:33 |
| annienygma | and I have installed xubuntu, but then ran sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, and it gave me the ubuntu startup screen, but I still had the option of either the gnome or the xubuntu desktop, despite my startup screen changing | 02:33 |
| Pelo | belorix, first put the install cd in the comp, then try menu > systsm>`admin > restricted driver , if you don'T have a restricted driver for your hardware there, you'll need to use the windows driver to run your wifi card, you'll first need to install ndiswrapper from the cd , thenyou can copy the windows wifi dirver on your ubuntu hdd somewhere and tell ndiswrapper where it is | 02:33 |
| gmcastil | Pelo: ...by looking at the descriptions, java7 is based on openJDK, java6 is the sun flavor | 02:33 |
| K_Nine | cheesypieces: I have Ubuntu, Kubuntu and XFCE and they all change. I guess I can't help you. | 02:33 |
| robdig | cheesypieces: system->administration->login window | 02:33 |
| Pelo | belorix, that's as much as I know | 02:33 |
| annienygma | so whenever I get bored with my startup screen I just change it that way... hope it helps.. | 02:34 |
| Pelo | gmcastil, remove 7 and reinstall 6 that is my best guess at this time | 02:34 |
| WhoNeedszzz | anyone? | 02:34 |
| cheesypieces | robdig, i've looked there... the option isn't there | 02:34 |

| ttl- | is there anything i can do about that? | 02:58 |
| arrrghhh | probablyt | 02:58 |
| Pelo | jfkdsljio, it's a matter of personnal prefs, new linux users tend to prefer gnome it is freindlier | 02:58 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: Gnome has less bloat, KDE has more features. | 02:58 |
| rainwalker | what are we talking about? | 02:58 |
| arrrghhh | but can anyone help me get xfce or gnome for that matter to produce some visual feedback when i start a program | 02:58 |
| arrrghhh | K_Nine, i don't know about the less bloat part... but there's more options in kde, and gnome *seems* to do things automagically better | 02:59 |
| arrrghhh | like unbreakable X, the new printer zeroconf thing, that's all 7.10 gnome specific | 02:59 |
| jfkdsljio | well thanks, i like gnome because it doesnt krash all the time | 02:59 |
| rainwalker | you can tweak KDE way more, and with gnome bloat depends on what the OS comes with | 02:59 |
| arrrghhh | KDE doesn't crash on any of my three machines at work | 02:59 |
| arrrghhh | or my two machines at home | 02:59 |
| K_Nine | arrrghhh: I think automagically depends a lot on the distro. | 02:59 |
| arrrghhh | K_Nine, i would agree | 02:59 |
| Pelo | arrrghhh, you seem like a real 1337 , do you know how to http://www.ubuntu-art.org/content/show.php/6%2C760+Fonts?content=9883 | 02:59 |
| Pelo | arrrghhh, nevermind , wrong link | 03:00 |
| arrrghhh | i am far from leet my friene | 03:00 |
| arrrghhh | der | 03:00 |
| arrrghhh | friend | 03:00 |
| jfkdsljio | pelo do it again i want to see the right link | 03:00 |
| Pelo | arrrghhh, do you know how to Setup a spooldirectory without printfilter. Serialport baudrate must be 9600. | 03:00 |
| arrrghhh | Pelo, do i care? | 03:00 |
| jfkdsljio | lol that was funny. | 03:00 |
| Pelo | arrrghhh, I'm asking for help | 03:00 |
| jfkdsljio | baudrate must be 9600 | 03:00 |
| jfkdsljio | o he's serious, nevermind. | 03:00 |
| K_Nine | arrrghhh: Over the last 7 years I've installed 192 distros and their upgrades. | 03:00 |
| jfkdsljio | you counted?! | 03:01 |
| arrrghhh | K_Nine, so what's your favorit | 03:01 |
| arrrghhh | e | 03:01 |
| Pelo | jfkdsljio, I have no idea how to do taht bit, , it's to setup a pen plotter | 03:01 |
| K_Nine | arrrghhh: Right now it close between PCLinuxOS and Linux Mint. | 03:01 |
| ttl- | i also found that using dosbox in native 80x25 modus (pressing alt-enter) gives a distorted screen (screen content vibrates horizontally) | 03:01 |
| arrrghhh | hey Dr_willis i remember you. you know how to produce visual feedback on programs when they run don'tcha | 03:01 |
| qaesar | ey guys, need installing ubuntu from DVD on AMD64, but i have a cd and no cd-rw only dvd at hand | 03:01 |
| jfkdsljio | linux mint is going debian | 03:01 |
| jfkdsljio | no more full ubuntu repo compatibility | 03:01 |
| nickrud_ | Pelo: that must be from some instructions, are they on the web? (I'll bite, the dish seems to be getting a bit stale and shouldn't get thrown out) | 03:01 |
| rainwalker | K_Nine: what is it people like about PCLinuxOS? | 03:01 |
| arrrghhh | qaesar, uhm... use a usb stick?!? | 03:02 |
| qaesar | yeah i have on | 03:02 |
| Pelo | nickrud_, http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=CalComp-Artisan_1023_penplotter | 03:02 |
| jfkdsljio | pclos is all perty and nooby looking, real friendly | 03:02 |
| jfkdsljio | and feature rich | 03:02 |
| jfkdsljio | kinda slow tho | 03:02 |
| rainwalker | jfkdsljio: but ubuntu is debian based? | 03:02 |
| arrrghhh | rainwalker, yes | 03:02 |
| jfkdsljio | yes ubuntu is debian based | 03:02 |
| jfkdsljio | and mint linux is ubuntu based | 03:02 |
| qaesar | but how do i "burn" the iso image on the usb in windows ? | 03:02 |
| ttl- | did anybody experience the same or knows how to fix it? | 03:02 |
| K_Nine | rainwalker: It is easy for Windoze converts because it was set up to look and act like XP. And, most things are set up to work automagically. | 03:02 |
| rainwalker | ohh ok | 03:03 |
| arrrghhh | qaesar, it's difficult... there's instructions on ubuntuforums i think is where i found 'em | 03:03 |
| blackace11 | i haven't been on here in a while... what was command to log onto nickserver? | 03:03 |
| Pelo | qaesar, just unpack the iso like it was a zip and copy it to the usb , top level | 03:03 |
| arrrghhh | or the wiki | 03:03 |
| rainwalker | jfkdsljio: so why wouldn't mint be able to use the ubuntu repos? | 03:03 |
| wormintrude | blackace11, '/msg nickserv identify <passwd>' | 03:03 |
| rainwalker | blackace11: it's /msg nickserv <whatever> | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, mint can use the ubuntu repos. | 03:03 |
| BagelMaster | New question: Is there any way I can disable the trackpoint but not the touchpad or an external mouse? | 03:03 |
| voice | can someone give me some help with the latest ubuntu hardy heron alpha please? | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, im using them now :) | 03:03 |
| jfkdsljio | if it were debian based? it would be able to use them, but there wouldnt be a full seemless compatibility | 03:03 |
| arrrghhh | damnit! visual feedback of programs that run! | 03:03 |
| qaesar | or how do i use a DVD burning a cd iso, or where is the DVD iso of 7.10 | 03:04 |
| qaesar | amd64 | 03:04 |
| n6hgg | sudo ssh root@192.168.1.112 | 03:04 |
| Dr_willis | qaesar, why bother with the dvd? the cd is a much smaller download. | 03:04 |
| rainwalker | Dr_willis: that's what I mean, jfkdsljio says mint won't be able to because it's going debian, but ubuntu is based on debian, so what's the problem? | 03:04 |
| arrrghhh | qaesar, you can burn a cd iso to a dvd, but you said you didn't have a dvd burner | 03:04 |
| K_Nine | qaesar: Go to Distrowatch.com to find the DVD. | 03:04 |
| Pelo | qaesar, you can burn a cd iso to a dvd it should work | 03:04 |
| n6hgg | oopz, sorry | 03:04 |
| arrrghhh | n6hgg, you shouln't run ssh as root | 03:04 |
| cellofellow | hey, does anybody know how to scan an IP range for used addresses? | 03:04 |
| qaesar | no, i have one, but i have only DVDRs and no CDs | 03:05 |
| n6hgg | yea, oh well | 03:05 |
| Pelo | qaesar, and you can find the dvd.iso on the ubuntu.com site, from the dl section jsut select pick a mirror | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, last i looked mint was thinking bout going to a debian base. if it does. then there will be issues. Of course If it does that - i will stop using Mint. | 03:05 |
| arrrghhh | qaesar, you can burn cd images to dvds... | 03:05 |
| qaesar | and nero wont let me burn the cd iso to a dvd iso | 03:05 |
| jfkdsljio | rainwalker because ubuntu repositories are for ubuntu, not all ubuntu repositories will work right on a regular debian install. | 03:05 |
| arrrghhh | it's just kinda a waste | 03:05 |
| blackace11 | can anyone assist me in getting ndiswrapper working on my dell d520? i've been to 2 different walkthroughs and can't get it working | 03:05 |
| arrrghhh | qaesar, if you're in windows use imgburn | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, mixing debian and ubuntu repos is the issue :) | 03:05 |
| rainwalker | Dr_willis, jfkdsljio: why would they move to debian? | 03:05 |
| arrrghhh | rainwalker, probably stability | 03:05 |
| wormintrude | qaesar, if u're in winDOS, just toss the thing | 03:06 |
| wormintrude | :D | 03:06 |
| Bonyo | hi everybody | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, go ask the Mint guys why they are talking about moving. Could be they dont like the 6mo release stuff. | 03:06 |
| jfkdsljio | i'm not sure why, but they already have an alpha version available | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | i'm goin with stability | 03:06 |
| qaesar | lol | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | rainwalker, Mint has some neat things.. but really i dont see much point in it, ubuntu releases keep getting better and better and make the spinoffs like mint seem redundant. | 03:06 |
| arrrghhh | so... visual feedback on programs that run? like the silly bouncing icons in kde? | 03:06 |
| K_Nine | arrrghhh: There was a post in the Mint forum on why but I can't remember now. It was in general announcements. | 03:07 |
| arrrghhh | that don't always work right and piss me off sometimes | 03:07 |
| jfkdsljio | mint has more of the "just works" flavor | 03:07 |
| Dr_willis | most of the mint 'enhancements' are just toolks they wrote in python. and a few other tweaks. | 03:07 |
| arrrghhh | but i have a newbie here with xubuntu cuz her machine is slower than molases in january | 03:07 |

| jfkdsljio | when i used krashde, i disabled bouncing icons | 03:07 |
| rainwalker | Dr_willis, jfkdsljio: things have actually always worked better for me with Ubuntu, and if they get the visual refresh right with Hardy, I'll be perfectly happy | 03:07 |
| blackace11 | can anyone assist me in getting ndiswrapper working on my dell d520? i've been to 2 different walkthroughs and can't get it working | 03:07 |
| Pelo | iNTRONIX, you can also query the bot in private so you don't spam the channel try typing /msg ubotu !theme | 03:08 |
| jfkdsljio | You're still using Hardy? | 03:08 |
| arrrghhh | K_Nine, about visual feedback of programs that run? i don't want to install mint on here... | 03:08 |
| jfkdsljio | All I can say to that is Wow! | 03:08 |
| jfkdsljio | You're off the support chart. | 03:08 |
| arrrghhh | jfkdsljio, what the heck are you talking about or two... | 03:08 |
| rainwalker | jfkdsljio: I'm not using hardy | 03:08 |

| K_Nine | arrrghhh: Kmymoney2 is a pretty good quicken alt. | 03:09 |
| Pelo | mynyml, try asking in #skype | 03:09 |
| nickrud_ | Pelo: yah, I see that now. | 03:09 |
| jfkdsljio | I actually got photoshop CS2 and Golive CS to work in wine. | 03:10 |
| arrrghhh | K_Nine, i know... but he's real picky. he hates outlook but uses it for the 'great contact list integration'. ugh. | 03:10 |
| mynyml | Pelo: there is no #skype ... | 03:10 |
| jfkdsljio | imgburn says No Devices Detected! | 03:10 |
| arrrghhh | K_Nine, and i'll have to remember that one... the only other one i've heard of was like gnumoney or something like that | 03:10 |
| jfkdsljio | I guess ill add it to appdb as garbage | 03:10 |
| arrrghhh | gnucash... id unno | 03:10 |
| Pelo | nickrud_, I can probably fget it to work if I can make a spooler to redirest to localhost/ttyS2 or soemting | 03:10 |
| K_Nine | arrrghhh: Gnucash | 03:10 |
| Pelo | nickrud_, don't worry about it , eventualy someone in #cups will answer me | 03:11 |
| nickrud_ | Pelo: frustrating that it's listed as working perfectly but without any reasonable docs | 03:11 |

| sigma | ubuntu doesn't seem to recognize my internal bluetooth adapter, what can I do? | 03:12 |
| jfkdsljio | First and foremost I must install xchat2 for windows. | 03:12 |
| Pelo | denetor, the instaler for flash is broken, get the tar.gz from the adobe website | 03:12 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: I use CrossOver Office. | 03:12 |

| gorlak | i have a question, anyway to force a higher screen resolution onto a computer that doesnt have a monitor attached? | 03:12 |
| Pelo | jfkdsljio, why would you do such a thing ? just for the laughs ? | 03:12 |
| K_Nine | blackace11: I can't, just to give you an answer. | 03:13 |
| jfkdsljio | K_Nine I don't like that app, its too far behind wine .9.54 | 03:13 |
| blackace11 | k_nine ty lol | 03:13 |
| jfkdsljio | I have cxoffice pro 6.2, and signed up to be an advocate, but they never got back to me | 03:13 |
| Pelo | nickrud, I finaly got a decent CAD software thanks to wine , don'T diss it | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | qcad does all i need for my cad needs. :) but it depends on your needs I guess | 03:13 |
| jfkdsljio | Pelo, pretty much yeah, I have a partimage backup that I restore sometimes daily. | 03:14 |

| Pelo | !botabuse | iNTRONIX | 03:14 |
| Dr_willis | Pelo, im suprised autocad even worked with wine. | 03:14 |
| ubotu | iNTRONIX: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 03:14 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: There must be a reason for it. You have to pay for it. It must do something that wine won't. | 03:14 |
| denetor | Pelo: I had no luck with a direct install from adobe either. | 03:14 |
| transporter_ii | Anyone use crossover office? I have a quick question... | 03:14 |
| spoon | do changes you make (packages installed on unionfs, kernel modules installed) persist when you install them on the liveCD and then Install to hard drive???? | 03:14 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, not autocad, progecad smart | 03:14 |
| fxd | Can someone help me? I'm on the last step of a page to get my wireless working and I can't figure it out. | 03:14 |
| mkquist | Kama: set up an account for that server | 03:15 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, it's an autocad close, very nice, www.progesoft.com | 03:15 |
| jfkdsljio | K_Nine it has perfected code for a small range of applications, whereas wine focuses on implementing the full windows API. | 03:15 |
| blackace11 | i'm also haveing trouble with wlan on my d520 | 03:15 |
| Pelo | Dr_willis, there is a free smart! verson for home use | 03:15 |
| rainwalker | wait whoa just popped back in, what's this about autocad? | 03:15 |
| iNTRONIX | ubotu: Just a bot? | 03:15 |
| sigma | anyone know how to setup bluetooth on a dell inspiron with internal adapter? the system is not picking it up and I've tried the setup that was on the wiki | 03:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about just a bot? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:15 |
| Kama | MK - hmm, i tried that, it seemed like the obvious place to start | 03:15 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: I used it for Photoshop. | 03:15 |
| Pelo | iNTRONIX, yes ubotu is a bot , | 03:15 |
| Kama | and I do have a keen sence of the obvious | 03:16 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, I found a autocad clone that works well on wine, and there is a free version for home users | 03:16 |
| meoblast001 | i have a question to ask and i know the answer will probably be no, but does anyone know if a free linux game similar to ratchet and clank exists.... something thats a shooting game with a plot? | 03:16 |
| fxd | Can someone help installing a driver with ndiswrapper? | 03:16 |
| jfkdsljio | What version? | 03:16 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, www.progesoft.com, it's called smarty | 03:16 |
| jfkdsljio | K_Nine what version? | 03:16 |
| rainwalker | Pelo: I hope you realize you totally just made my day | 03:16 |
| Pelo | smart | 03:16 |
| blackace11 | can anyone help me with my wlan? i can't get ndiswrapper to recognize/install the inf file | 03:16 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, and you can make my day if you can help me figure out how to get my pen plotter to work on linux | 03:17 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: It will only go up to 7. I have CS3 extended on the Windoze machine. | 03:17 |
| rainwalker | pen plotter? | 03:17 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, big printer that works by dragging pens across the paper | 03:17 |
| Arbitrary | fxd, what's the problem with ndiswrapper, have you consulted the man page? | 03:17 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: After 7, you need an XP emulator. | 03:17 |
| jfkdsljio | K_Nine if you install wine .9.54 you can install Photoshop CS2. | 03:18 |
| rainwalker | Pelo: oh...I have no idea | 03:18 |
| jfkdsljio | I have it working quite well. | 03:18 |
| fxd | Arbitrary: yes i have, i can't get ndiswrapper to install the .inf file | 03:18 |
| K_Nine | jfkdsljio: Neat. I'll have to try that out. thx. | 03:18 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, this is what I need to do Setup a spooldirectory without printfilter. Serialport baudrate must be 9600. | 03:18 |
| blackace11 | i'm having same problem as fxd | 03:18 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, Dr_willis , direct link to smart http://www.progesoft.com/compra/index.asp?left=progecad2008smart&lang=eng | 03:18 |
| meoblast001 | im guessing that since no one is answering my question, that means most ppl dont know.... which would also mean it probably doesnt exist | 03:18 |
| jfkdsljio | K_Nine yeah, It was listed as "gold" on appdb, but the things reported not working work great for me, on Mint Linux. | 03:18 |
| blackace11 | arbitrary: could you assist me with the issue also? | 03:19 |
| rainwalker | Pelo: are you talking about the "trial version"? | 03:19 |
| Arbitrary | fxd, blackacell, make sure you are using a version of the windows driver that ndiswrapper supports | 03:19 |
| jfkdsljio | Image Ready works great too, not sure why I need image ready. | 03:19 |
| jfkdsljio | But it works great. | 03:19 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, not a trial version, smart is for real, progecad is the trial one | 03:19 |
| K_Nine | jfk, I have a Rontec Combox Trios that is a switch to any one of three hard drives on my Linux machine. I have mint on one drive. I'll try it. | 03:19 |
| rainwalker | Pelo: oh wow...ok, well I found the download button link haha | 03:20 |
| lilg111111 | need help installing flash player 9 in gusty i also do not have sound | 03:20 |
| Arbitrary | fxd, do you get an error message? | 03:20 |
| fxd | arbitrary: i have the driver, have installed ndiswrapper, but it's the command "sudo ndiswrapper -i net8185.inf" that doesn't work | 03:20 |
| Belorix_ | Ok i have a Linksys Wusb54gsc adapter and i cannot get it to work anyone hlep please i tryed ndiswraper | 03:20 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, I haven't worked with it yet, just goofed around a bit, but I am very impressed | 03:20 |
| Pelo | Belorix_, did you lookup your model in the forum ? www.ubuntuforums.org | 03:21 |
| fxd | Arbitrary: I don't get any message, but when I check to see if it worked with "ndiswrapper -l", nothing shows up | 03:21 |
| Belorix_ | yea | 03:21 |
| Belorix_ | i didnt find anything helpful | 03:21 |
| blackace11 | i've used this same driver before... but when i sudo ndiswrapper -i <location> it just tells me the ndiswrapper info... | 03:21 |
| Pelo | lilg111111, get the tar.gz from the adobe website, the installer in ubuntu is broken | 03:21 |
| flats | Anyone here familiar with the nvidia 7800 GTX go drivers under ubuntu? To say i'm frustrated is an understatement | 03:21 |
| blackace11 | when i do ndiswrapper -l i get invalidd driver | 03:21 |
| flats | Is there a list of nvidia cards ubuntu doesn't support? | 03:21 |
| jfkdsljio | flats, it should be easy to install the nvidia drivers with restricted driver manager | 03:21 |
| rainwalker | Pelo: I'm in an autocad dual-credit class at school and we use autodesk software, which isn't available for linux | 03:21 |
| kououken | Anyone know how to fix the "hangs at Grub Loading stage 1.5" problem? Googling hasn't solved the issue. | 03:22 |
| Pelo | Belorix_, you'll have to come and ask in the chanel again, at different times on different days, the ppl in here change and there are different skill avaialbe at different time | 03:22 |
| flats | As soon as I chose restricted driver, all I can get is standard VGA | 03:22 |
| jfkdsljio | did you reboot? | 03:22 |
| Arbitrary | fxd, you should be getting a confirmation I think....have you blacklisted any conflicting native drivers? | 03:22 |
| rainwalker | flats: I don't know about drivers, but if you're trying to get compiz to work, the command "SKIP_CHECKS=yes" will force it | 03:22 |
| jfkdsljio | go to terminal and type sudo nvidia-settings | 03:22 |
| Pelo | rainwalker, I'M aware, autodesk made it,s bed with MS, autocad now runs on .net so it makes it very hard to port | 03:22 |
| lilg111111 | how do you install a tar | 03:22 |
| flats | I've rebooted and followed 3 or 4 different steps to activate it and it was fine immediately after install and not since | 03:22 |

| o_ | I'm lost ?? | 03:56 |
| nickrud | jfkdsljio: but it's better to not think of people by distro, but by their behavior | 03:56 |
| kahrytan | Dr_willis-> Perhaps. HP has their doorstops too. I recently moved and I never got around to buying new ink for my hp. Lexmark Z53 has new ink in it so I am using it til I get around to buying ink for hp. Oddly, Ubuntu supports Z53 out of the box while Xp doesnt. | 03:56 |
| lilg111111 | its that bar that mac has that you can use to start programs | 03:56 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | kahrytan, I've avoided lexmark because of their marketing with their ink | 03:57 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | nickrud, do you believe that a community can take on it's own mentality? | 03:58 |
| nickrud | fragged2: now, I wouldn't tar people who are low on the learning curve idiots, I tend to reserve that for people who have little tolerance for the learners | 03:58 |
| kahrytan | djzn-> with menus ... Linux doesnt have a decent dvd menus creator. | 03:58 |
| fragged2 | nickrud: mmm maybe I didnt phrase my statement right. There are some out there who have genuine problems and are ready to do a little bit of research - they are the good ones. Problem is the users who refuse to help themselves, | 03:59 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I mean I would almost agree with you, except channels like #debian and #java really do seem, by default, really do seem to have an elitist atmosphere | 03:59 |
| jfkdsljio | fragged2, there it is. the ones who refuse to help themselves are the culprit | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | djzn, there are tools to create dvd layout/disks - if thats what you mean. videotrans qdvdauthor devede and others. | 03:59 |
| kahrytan | Dr_willis-> not all of those create menus | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | kahrytan, your mileage may vary :) | 03:59 |
| mkquist | djzn: def take a look at qdvdauthor, i believe it does | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | kahrytan, i normally put 1 video per disk. so the kids dont een have to have the remote. | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 04:00 |
| nickrud | fragged2: I won't argue about the ones who refuse to help themselves, but I still try to teach them they must. That's the most rewarding success | 04:00 |
| kahrytan | Dr_willis-> I tried to find a good dvd author program. | 04:00 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Wow, you all have to forgive me. My pain medicine just kicked in and I'm... uh.. not completely there anymore. | 04:00 |
| kahrytan | Dr_willis-> you dont do season dvds? | 04:00 |
| ridge-meister | anyone here use xmame? when i start up "flying shark" the screen is way too small. is there a way to adjust that? | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | kahrytan, deede does menus i belive. | 04:00 |
| fragged2 | Sir_Fawnpug: no matter how easy a problem is to solve it, if you go into one of those rooms and state that you have already tried google, rtfm, and many other things, as well as phrasing your question right, you will more often then not get an answer | 04:00 |
| Pelo | robdig, thanks for the trouble, I'm off to bed | 04:01 |
| Dr_willis | kahrytan, i really havent messed with them much. | 04:01 |
| Pelo | g'night folks | 04:01 |
| kahrytan | Dr_willis-> but crash allot | 04:01 |
| * nickrud wishes Pelo an aha dream about plotters | 04:01 | |
| Dr_willis | ridge-meister, xmame --help - theres a scale option | 04:01 |
| dsmith_ | Sir_Fawnpug: 400Mhz Processo?? | 04:01 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | dsmith_, huh? You mean on my sparc? | 04:01 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | My sparc, I believe, was a 233MHz, but I could be wrong | 04:02 |
| fragged2 | I actually find the ubuntu community better to have intelligent debates with, such as whether Windows is a stable operating system, which communities are more elitist and the such | 04:02 |
| dsmith_ | Sun Ultra 5 Workstation | 04:02 |
| kahrytan | djzn-> Here's a nautilus script to us for converting xvid to mpeg (vob is mpeg video) | 04:02 |
| djzn | because you know | 04:02 |
| kahrytan | djzn-> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/avi+%26+mp4+converter?content=64899 (USE) | 04:02 |
| dsmith_ | duh, you said 3 | 04:02 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I don't hae my sparc next to me at the moment, I'm at my parent's house | 04:02 |
| djzn | I get LOST 4, from the avis on the net | 04:02 |
| nickrud | fragged2: fewer geeks, more users with other interests :) | 04:02 |
| kahrytan | Dr_willis-> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/avi+%26+mp4+converter?content=64899 | 04:02 |
| djzn | and then I use convertxtodvd in windows... | 04:02 |
| fragged2 | I just wish there was like a more first line of support room, and then something deeper behind that for the users that actually /KNOW/ what there doing | 04:02 |
| djzn | but then i want to do that in linux | 04:02 |
| Jangari | does someone know the syntax for putting an ssh server share on fstab? | 04:02 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | dsmith_, it could very well be 400Mhz | 04:02 |
| dsmith_ | Janshare? | 04:02 |
| erawfish | fragged2: that's not a discussion, in #ubuntu this is OT blabbering. go to a usenet advocacy group for this. they argue this wrt windows since 1985 there. much more experience | 04:02 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | fragged2, I agree that the ubuntu community is amongst the best community in open source | 04:03 |
| fxd | can anyone help me with sound? | 04:03 |
| erawfish | Faithful: possibly when you installed sshf/fuse | 04:03 |
| kahrytan | djzn-> best tool on windows is gui4ffmpeg to convert videos. | 04:04 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | It's kind of like what Ken Miller says about science. People misunderstand science sometimes because scientists shun public roles. | 04:04 |
| ryan | I installed mplayer last night and now all video playback using any player is scrambled or non-existant | 04:04 |
| Dr_willis | Jangari, i normally use the fuse-ssh tools to mount a ssh server as a local diretory | 04:05 |
| Jangari | Dr_willis: sshfs? | 04:05 |
| jfkdsljio | "i installed ubuntu and it borked my computers power switch, i think ubuntu devs owe me 15 dollars for that" | 04:05 |
| kahrytan | jfkdsljio-> that is funny | 04:05 |
| ryan | >.< | 04:05 |
| Dr_willis | Jangari, somthing like that. I alwyas get the names messed up. | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | !find sshfs | 04:06 |
| ubotu | Found: sshfs | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | !info sshfs | 04:06 |
| ubotu | sshfs (source: sshfs-fuse): filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2.1 (gutsy), package size 34 kB, installed size 120 kB | 04:06 |
| fragged2 | jfkdsljio: ubuntu fanboi's generate a lot of anger on digg... but that website gives MacOS and Windows bad names aswell IMO | 04:06 |
| ridge-meister | Dr_willis: thanks :) | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | On the digg forums - everyone is free to rant equally! | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 04:06 |
| ryan | anyone have similar issues or know a fix? | 04:06 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | fragged2, well truth be told even OSX has its criticisms | 04:07 |
| Jangari | i actually have sshfs, but i find it a bit buggy, says it mounts it, but the mountpoint it empty, then can't unmount it because it says the mountpoint isn't empty | 04:07 |
| jfkdsljio | fragged2 agreed | 04:07 |
| Jangari | then nautilus can't unmount iit because it isn't on the fstab | 04:07 |
| === crypt0 is now known as crypto | ||
| L7 | :/ | 04:07 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I mean not that I think digg is a great community for debate or whatever | 04:07 |
| jfkdsljio | Personally I don't see what's so great about OSX, It's just a proprietary linux with a dumb-down affect, but what do I know I dont even use it. | 04:08 |
| L7 | If you hear me :/ | 04:08 |
| fragged2 | Sir_Fawnpug: As does linux, windows, bsd, and every other OS in exsistence... The best quote I've seen is 'There is no best OS for every situation' which is probbably one of the most intelligent statements I'd seen for a while on digg | 04:08 |
| === crypto is now known as crypt0z | ||
| ryan | No idea if its related but my desktop appearance settings and compiz keep reverting back to default normal... | 04:08 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | fragged2, well I suppose that's the point I was trying to make. | 04:08 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Even a two-byte program can have bugs in it. | 04:09 |
| jfkdsljio | In what case is OSX the best possible OS? | 04:09 |
| jfkdsljio | Only if you run it in KDE. | 04:09 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | jfkdsljio, from an end-user's perspective it's not bad. | 04:09 |
| jfkdsljio | That I can agree with. | 04:09 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | As far as best, well, I personally think only a Free operating system can come close to reaching that. | 04:10 |
| LKC | can awn and emerald be on at the same time? | 04:10 |
| fragged2 | jfkdsljio: I've heard a lot of posative talk about it being good for Multimedia development, some video studio tool that only runs on mac apparently craps all over every other piece of software | 04:10 |
| djzn | why don't we have a foobar2000 like application with those features? | 04:10 |
| ridge-meister | Dr_willis: that helped a lot, it seems the game is moving just a little too fast. i've looked over the docs for xmame, but don't know how to turn the speed down. maybe it's just me and i've slowed down :) | 04:10 |
| fragged2 | djzn: you mean like xmms? | 04:10 |
| mkquist | OSX is probably the best if you are using ProTools and the lot | 04:10 |
| jfkdsljio | Ah yes those multimedia applications. | 04:11 |
| djzn | fragged2: xmms won't masstag, won't calculate replaygain, and won't convert on the fly to other formats. | 04:11 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | fragged2, although I think ubuntu studio could potentially change that. I tried it a while back, and I was very impressed with what came with it out of the box | 04:11 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | And what worked | 04:11 |
| jfkdsljio | ompaul most definitely is not here | 04:11 |
| mkquist | proprietary hadware and all that... | 04:12 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | mkquist, well I think the big problem with the hardware is that it's getting harder and harder to justify paying premium for mac hardware anymore. | 04:12 |
| === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_schlafen | ||
| Sir_Fawnpug | You used to be able to justify it, because you could say, "I'm getting a M68k/PPC/Whatever) | 04:13 |
| fragged2 | Agreed about the hardware being expensive, but its what the mac community is targeting, middle to upperclass homes and workplaces that want pretty desktops in pretty, stock cases | 04:13 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | As a hardware geek, that idea almost makes the thought of buying one worth the money | 04:13 |
| mkquist | Sir_Fawnpug: I'm not in the industry, but was talking to some who are and he kinda echoed that same thing, considering the cost of powerful hadware is dropping | 04:13 |
| mkquist | Sir_Fawnpug: the one thing mac still does nice is the design tho | 04:14 |
| mkquist | p r e t t y .... =P | 04:14 |
| pariah | ... to some | 04:14 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | mkquist, oh, don't get me wrong, the design is very pleasing on a mac. | 04:14 |
| fragged2 | Apple dont even care about low cost hardware or alternatives, take a look at the iPod range, how little love has the shuffle been getting over the years? | 04:14 |
| Dr_willis | ridge-meister, theres some frontends to xmame. kde has some and so does gnome. | 04:15 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | And they have always paid special attention to user interface standards. | 04:15 |
| mkquist | no i dont thnk they do, I kinda thin FSJ has it right, there not for the masses... lol | 04:15 |
| mkquist | think* | 04:15 |
| Tygir | what is the best prog to use for .rar and .par files? | 04:15 |
| fragged2 | Tygir: unrar for rar :D | 04:15 |
| Dr_willis | Apple cares about Apple. :) and $$$. heh. | 04:15 |
| travisat | Tygir: pypar2 for par2 imo | 04:15 |
| jfkdsljio | i dont like ipods, there i said it. | 04:15 |
| Dr_willis | Im not sure ive seen any rar tools for messing with .par files under linux but i never looked. | 04:15 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | fragged2, well, for a while, they did, the mac mini is a good example | 04:16 |
| celious | Dr_willis: just like any other business. | 04:16 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | And I almost bought a mac mini, you know | 04:16 |
| mkquist | jfkdsljio: daring... | 04:16 |
| jfkdsljio | lol | 04:16 |
| LKC | how do i turn my new awn dock on? | 04:16 |
| Dr_willis | celious, some are worse then others. | 04:16 |
| fragged2 | Still, Windows took one too many acid trips while designing vista... I cant stand the look of the theme, | 04:16 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Before I learned that it'd suck trying to extend it | 04:16 |
| travisat | fragged2: it looks better then xps default imo | 04:16 |
| jfkdsljio | the mac mini, and the imac seem like laptops to me, as far as hardware manipulation is concerned | 04:16 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | fragged2, haha, well you have to admit, the vista theme is a bit better than the "little tykes" theme that ista has | 04:16 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | err | 04:16 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | XP | 04:16 |
| Dr_willis | jfkdsljio, worse then laptops i belive. :) | 04:17 |
| mkquist | windows at this point is only required for gaming (sigh) and photoshop (sigh more..) | 04:17 |
| Fenyx | Good evening everyone. | 04:17 |
| jfkdsljio | I have photoshop CS2 working fine in wine .9.54, but its slower | 04:17 |
| travisat | mkquist: wine is getting pretty good for photoshop I think, I haven't tried it lately as I have gotten used to gimp | 04:17 |
| yu | Help! Can I install eeexubuntu using SD card? | 04:17 |
| mkquist | travisat: yea, been trying to get a good handle on gimp | 04:17 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I guess the gaming thing was solved for me a while ago. The only PC game I really play much of anymore is the Sims 2, and that hasn't been in months | 04:18 |
| ridge-meister | Dr_willis: i am using Gnome. Would the Rute book be a good one to read about Linux administration? | 04:18 |
| mkquist | travisat: have you had it close on you during work. seems an ongoing thing, sometimes | 04:18 |
| travisat | mkquist: gimp is vastly underrater | 04:18 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I got a wii for my other games | 04:18 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | travisat, I agree. | 04:18 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I do almost all of my artwork in the gimp | 04:18 |
| kebinusan | is there a way to have a different background image on each desktop with compiz | 04:18 |
| yu | Help! Can I install eeexubuntu using SD card? | 04:19 |
| compwiz18 | If I put my home folder on a server then mount it using ssh on multiple computers at the same time, are bad things going to happen to me? | 04:19 |
| Belorix_ | Trying Again dont respondif you cant help I cant get my Linksys WUSB54GSC network adapter to work | 04:19 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | yu, it depends on the size of the card | 04:19 |
| yu | I have 1G | 04:19 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, possibly, but it depends on the situation | 04:19 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | yu, that may be a tight fit for xubuntu | 04:19 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | But you could try it | 04:19 |
| compwiz18 | Sir_Fawnpug: explain please? | 04:20 |
| gigamonk` | I'm running xubuntu on a asus eee pc. Any ideas how I can see the bottoms of windows that are off the (tiny) screen. | 04:20 |
| magick | hello! I have a few problems.. a) keyboard is a bit laggy and misses keys but windows is fine b) selecting stuff on the desktop is extremely slow but I do have hardware acceleration | 04:20 |
| gigamonk` | I've tried resizing them but I think they're aleady at their minimum size. | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | ridge-meister, for bools - i find that learning the interface/gui disent need a book. :) get books with lots of words.. not pictures - about sysadmin, and other topics. Not the desktop. | 04:20 |
| yu | to gigamonk. . Alt+Left button, move the mouse | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | ridge-meister, there is a free ubuntu book out also. in pdf format. | 04:20 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, it has to do with problems in concurrency, which most of the time the filesystem would take care of. | 04:21 |
| Tygir | fragged2: how do i use unrar? is there a gui? | 04:21 |
| BodomLaw | i cant play google videos in firefox whats the deal? | 04:21 |
| compwiz18 | Sir_Fawnpug: I'm worried about multiple programs accessing the same settings at the same time... | 04:21 |
| Fenyx | Does anyone know why my permission settings should be for an rsync directory? I keep getting permission denied errors. | 04:21 |
| travisat | Tygir: after you install unrar I think file-roller can manage rar files | 04:21 |
| ridge-meister | Dr_willis: do you know what the name of that book is? i can find it with google | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | ridge-meister, ubuntu training wiki - found it., :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training | 04:22 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, do you mean the possibility that one program could write while the other programs are reading? | 04:22 |
| compwiz18 | Sir_Fawnpug: yeah, bascially | 04:22 |
| joshual_ | hi, could anyone tell me what files I would need to download in order to install commercial dvd playback support offline ? | 04:22 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, well there are filesystems that do enforce filesystem locking in that case | 04:22 |
| travisat | joshual_: libdvdcss2 | 04:22 |
| magick | jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjasdfj;' | 04:22 |
| travisat | !medibuntu | 04:22 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 04:22 |
| travisat | joshual_: check that out | 04:23 |
| BodomLaw | ??? | 04:23 |
| BodomLaw | youtube works | 04:23 |
| joshual_ | travisat: I need to know what I would have to download including dependencies for a newly installed system that has no internet connection... | 04:23 |
| Tygir | fragged2: yeah, i got it...thanks man! | 04:23 |
| compwiz18 | Sir_Fawnpug: All I want is the same settings on multiple computers - is there a better way to do that? | 04:23 |
| travisat | joshual_: ah well I think just libdvdcss2 | 04:24 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, hmm, I guess I don't understand entirely what you want, but you might look into rsync | 04:24 |
| travisat | joshual_: you can get the deb from the repos at medibuntu | 04:24 |
| compwiz18 | Sir_Fawnpug: yeah, I thought of that too, but it seems like a lot of work ;) | 04:24 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | If you want your home directories shared by, let's say NAS, look at something like NFS | 04:24 |
| joshual_ | thx travisat | 04:24 |
| ridge-meister | thanks, Dr_w | 04:25 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, is this for your home network or for something larger? | 04:25 |
| Tygir | fragged2: what is the best prog to use to watch the .avi? | 04:25 |
| compwiz18 | Sir_Fawnpug: home network | 04:25 |
| Tygir | fragged2: im using the standard movie player and all i see is a black screen after installing the codecs | 04:25 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, well, that's up to you. I thought about implementing NAS on my network, but then again, I do recording | 04:25 |
| travisat | Tygir: try to use vlc | 04:25 |
| fragged2 | compwiz18: I'm seeting up two computers, I figure I'll use one and configure it the way I want and then just copy the entire hard drive to another box | 04:26 |
| fragged2 | Tygir: I'm a fan of mplayer, | 04:26 |
| travisat | totem has some issues with all of the codecs | 04:26 |
| jfkdsljio | wow, My super nice ear buds lost a piece, and I actually remebered where I put the replacements that came with it | 04:26 |
| ryan | Anyone lose dvd playblack after installing mplayer? | 04:26 |
| LKC | i cant seem to get my AWN started does anybody know what i need to do? | 04:26 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Tygir, I agree with fragged2 mplayer is good for pr0-- err, totally legitimate art. | 04:26 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | ryan, I don't see why not. | 04:27 |
| magick | anyone know of a solution to a laggy usb keyboard? | 04:27 |
| BodomLaw | i cant play google videos in firefox whats the deal? | 04:27 |
| jfkdsljio | try install adobe flash and mozilla flash plugin | 04:27 |
| BodomLaw | i did | 04:27 |
| jfkdsljio | hmm, win32codecs? | 04:27 |
| BodomLaw | and i reinstalled | 04:27 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | compwiz18, now another idea is to use a host key on each of the computers involved and periodically run a cron script to download your settings | 04:28 |
| magick | BodomLaw, does it keep asking you to install flash? | 04:28 |
| BodomLaw | no | 04:28 |
| BodomLaw | the screen just dissapears where the video should be | 04:28 |
| magick | interesting | 04:29 |
| Fenyx | How do I tell what user a process belongs to? | 04:29 |
| fragged2 | BodomLaw: did you also install the other plugin in replacement to flash? I've tried that and other than the issue your seeing and raping my CPU it did very little | 04:29 |
| BodomLaw | and actually on utube the volume control overlaps the fulscrean thing | 04:29 |
| masko | ubuntu doesnt work | 04:29 |
| masko | what is wrong? | 04:29 |
| BodomLaw | what other plugin? | 04:29 |
| fragged2 | masko: your an epic faliure at computers :D | 04:29 |
| masko | i loaded up windows | 04:29 |
| masko | and then run ubuntu | 04:29 |
| Fenyx | masko: User error. | 04:29 |
| Starnestommy | Fenyx: ps -p number? | 04:29 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Ridge racer! RIIIIDGE RACER! | 04:30 |
| Tygir | are there codecs i need to install with vlc to play a .avi? | 04:30 |
| fragged2 | How do these people find there way onto IRC unless there trolling? | 04:30 |
| masko | but it says 'illegal operation E09, mem address 0x94DE5EFF | 04:30 |
| masko | what does this mean | 04:30 |
| fragged2 | masko: maybe you should read in to what Ubuntu / GNU-Linux actually is | 04:30 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | masko, what did you try to run in windows? | 04:30 |
| masko | it is a program for windows? | 04:31 |
| BodomLaw | lol | 04:31 |
| masko | i downloaded it last night | 04:31 |
| fragged2 | masko: if I sent you a .exe would you try to run it in windows? | 04:31 |
| fragged2 | if you dont know what it is | 04:31 |
| masko | what is an exe | 04:31 |
| fragged2 | lol you fail at trolling ;-) | 04:31 |
| travisat | Tygir: negative if you have already install w32codecs | 04:31 |
| ryan | Sir_Fawnpug, i installed mplayer-nogui last night, and now i have no dvd playback on any player, my video files on my hd all playback grey, and compiz keeps turning itself off | 04:31 |
| Fenyx | Strnestommy: I don't see where that is listing a username. :( | 04:31 |
| iNTRONIX | Hello! Im using Wine, but when i run some win apps I cant see the text in them, like in counter-strike 1.6? how to solve the problem | 04:31 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | ryan, are you sure mplayer-nogui is the only thing that you installed last night? | 04:32 |
| travisat | iNTRONIX: look online for info to install steam games on linux, you need to install the font tahoma in your wine c drive | 04:32 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | You may have accidentally remoed a package as well | 04:32 |
| fragged2 | Could this be a problem with video out and compiz? I dont actually use it so I wouldnt know | 04:32 |
| Starnestommy | Fenyx: try ps -up numver | 04:32 |
| Tygir | travisat: how do i know if i did? | 04:32 |
| Tygir | travisat: i try to open an avi in vlc and it just closes | 04:32 |
| Starnestommy | *number | 04:32 |
| Tygir | travisat: doesnt play anything.. | 04:32 |
| pianoman | what would cause 6.06 to freeze at "Mounting root file system" when trying to install? | 04:32 |
| BodomLaw | i reinstalled from the tar.gz and she works now :D | 04:32 |
| travisat | Tygir: I don't I just thought you did, you need to | 04:32 |
| iNTRONIX | travisat: how do i install the font tahoma in wine? | 04:32 |
| Fenyx | Thank you Starnestommy! | 04:33 |
| fragged2 | iNTRONIX: I hear google has some interesting articles on the subject | 04:33 |
| iNTRONIX | ok | 04:33 |
| Tygir | travisat: how? | 04:33 |
| protcront | hello everybody | 04:33 |
| travisat | iNTRONIX: first you have to get it then you have to put it in your .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory | 04:33 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Hello protcront | 04:33 |
| travisat | Tygir: medibuntu | 04:33 |
| protcront | i used both today ubuntu and kubuntu ? u tell me which one is better ? | 04:34 |

| iNTRONIX | ok travisat, where to get it? | 04:34 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | protcront, which do you think was the best? | 04:34 |
| fragged2 | protcront: there is no /better/ its prefrence, I prefer xubuntu... there just the same core with a different set of software in particular Window Manager and Desktop Environment | 04:34 |
| tleuser | hello | 04:34 |
| travisat | iNTRONIX: I cannot tell you that here | 04:34 |
| iNTRONIX | ok | 04:34 |
| === osxdude|overhere is now known as osxdude | ||
| travisat | iNTRONIX: but you can find it via google very easy | 04:35 |
| iNTRONIX | google is my friend | 04:35 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | ryan, you might check the bug reports out there | 04:35 |
| pianoman | what would cause 6.06 to freeze at "Mounting root file system" when trying to install? | 04:35 |
| Tygir | travisat: can i add that to my repos? | 04:35 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: the ammount of reasons would be very broad | 04:35 |
| protcront | dont u think that kubuntu has more attractive appearence then ubuntu | 04:36 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: drivers, scratched cd, a bug in teh installer, and many many more | 04:36 |
| travisat | Tygir: yep just follow the instructions then apt-get install w32codecs | 04:36 |
| erawfish | pianoman: missing driver for your disk controller | 04:36 |
| nickrud | iNTRONIX: http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/ | 04:36 |
| pianoman | fragged2: I have a Dell Optiplex with a 6GB drive and 512MB RAM | 04:36 |
| fragged2 | protcront: I find all stock environments pretty ugly : / | 04:36 |
| zouzou | hi all, | 04:36 |
| travisat | nickrud: corefonts does not have tahoma in it | 04:36 |
| nickrud | travisat: no? what a bummer (forgot where I got it last then) | 04:37 |
| singlesun1 | protcront, i would say that yes... kubuntu's kde desktop does look better than ubuntus gnome desktop | 04:37 |
| === DiceyDays is now known as DiceyDaysx | ||
| Sir_Fawnpug | protcront, personally, I don't, but the first thing I did with my xubuntu installation on this laptop was put fluxbox on it | 04:37 |
| travisat | nickrud: I copied it off a windows partition myself | 04:37 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: I'm not familiar with that hardware at all | 04:37 |
| protcront | fragged2: so u think xubuntu is better | 04:37 |
| zouzou | for some odd reason, when i plug a tvcard (USB) bttv, but bttv is not loaded niether does it exist! | 04:37 |
| nickrud | travisat: probably did myself (looks again at his UI font | 04:37 |
| protcront | !fluxbox | 04:37 |
| ubotu | fluxbox is a lightweight and responsive window manager for GNU/Linux. For how to set it up and more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox | 04:37 |
| fragged2 | Sir_Fawnpug: xfce can look nice and sleek | 04:37 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, fluxbox eh.... ? you like that better? | 04:37 |
| pianoman | fragged2: neither am I, actually. I just got the PC from a friend, and decided to use that for Ubuntu. | 04:37 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | protcront, it really depends on which UI is easier for you to use | 04:37 |
| travisat | I suggest fvwm2 | 04:38 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | singlesun1, believe it or not, yes. | 04:38 |
| travisat | although I use gnome because I am to lazy to fiddle with fvwm for a week to get to where I like it | 04:38 |
| singlesun1 | fragged2, i believe damn xubuntu uses xfce... | 04:38 |
| pianoman | fragged2: maybe the type of hard drive has something to do with it? | 04:38 |
| singlesun1 | fragged2, oops.. i mean damn small linux as well.. LOL | 04:38 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: Welcome to the linux community, if I were you I'd be lazy and go download an Ubuntu 7.04 CD, or wait for 8.x to come out as it may have better support for your hardware (Unless you can figure out your bug) | 04:39 |
| protcront | RAM is 1GB so i need light and attractive interface from which i can use eclipse | 04:39 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | singlesun1, IIRC, DSL uses fluxbox | 04:39 |
| Tygir | travisat: i dont understand... | 04:39 |
| ryan | Sir_Fawnpug: wait i installed camorama too | 04:39 |
| fragged2 | DSL uses a blackbox based backend I think (Maybe ICEWm etc not sure), and yeah I use xubuntu waiting for gentoo installer to compile stuffs on my second box | 04:39 |
| travisat | Tygir: go to the webpage www.medibuntu.org there should be intructions to add to apt sources.list | 04:39 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, this is correct.... ;) im tripping... just got done using like 5 different live cd's today... and dealt with xubuntu on my wifes pc... and ubuntu on mine... lol then bt2 on my laptop | 04:40 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | ryan, ahh, well I'm not familiar with camorama, but you might check out if that's part of your problems | 04:40 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: its unlikely the hard drive would have much to do with it, provided it was in working order before you installed ubuntu on it... it may be the IDE controller or something but the easyiest sollution is to try another version or distribution | 04:40 |
| Tygir | travisat: i tried...i dont see it | 04:40 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | singlesun1, ahh, well that's no problem, I'm on pain medicine right now | 04:40 |
| travisat | Tygir: go to this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu scroll down a bit there should be the list of how to install it to your repo | 04:40 |
| pianoman | fragged2: I've used Ubuntu since 5.1 on a much larger system than the Optiplex, just figured I'd try 6.06 on this one (1 GHz PIII) | 04:40 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, haha | 04:40 |
| fxd | how do you launch a program like amarok from the terminal? | 04:41 |
| fragged2 | afaik dell uses intel based chipsets so I'm suprised that its not working correctly, then again I have lots of intel chipsets reporting as IDE instead of SATA and vice versa | 04:41 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | singlesun1, I just got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. They prescribed me vicodin. | 04:41 |
| pianoman | that's odd | 04:41 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, ewww... i cant stand vicodin... makes me itchy for a bit and nauseous... then you feel ok | 04:41 |
| zouzou | for some odd reason, when i plug a tvcard (USB) bttv, but bttv is not loaded niether does it exist! isn't it supposed to be compiled with the kernel in feisty? | 04:41 |
| ryan | Sir_Fawnpug: alright thanks, also note that totem is saying none of the codecs or plugins are installed, but they are | 04:41 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | singlesun1, I didn't say I liked it, haha | 04:41 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I would much rather prefer to drink and smoke cigarettes right now | 04:42 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: a more up to date sysytem wont really require /alot/ more guts, but it may help with hardware thats not working | 04:42 |
| travisat | ryan: i don't think totem looks for the extra plugins | 04:42 |
| travisat | ryan: try xine, mplayer, vlc to name a few | 04:42 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, hopefully you are young and getting them taken out whille you are still young ... i still havent had mine out and im older... lol | 04:42 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | singlesun1, I'm 22 | 04:42 |
| fxd | how do you launch programs from the terminal? | 04:42 |
| mkquist | fxd just type its name i do believe | 04:42 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | But it didn't hurt when I got them out, I stayed awake during the operation | 04:42 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, i believe that is older than the average... lol... but I still got ya beat... lol | 04:43 |
| travisat | Sir_Fawnpug: just hope you don't get a dry socket those suck | 04:43 |
| ryan | travisat: I did, they either dont play it or play it scrambled beyond recognition | 04:43 |
| fragged2 | ryan: usually pr0nz are badly encoded anyway | 04:43 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | travisat, well I'm at my parent's house and left my smokes at my apartment 30 miles away | 04:43 |
| fxd | mkquist: okay, i'm trying to make amarok open when i plug my ipod in instead of rythmbox | 04:43 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | So with any amount of luck, I won't get a dry socket | 04:43 |
| singlesun1 | Sir_Fawnpug, haha | 04:43 |
| travisat | Sir_Fawnpug: sucks to be you, I just bought 3 packs on my home | 04:43 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Of course, I hear that they're painful if you do get them | 04:43 |
| pianoman | fragged2: shoot..was hoping to free up my 2.6 GHz P4 entirely for Windows, and have a seperate system for Ubuntu | 04:44 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | travisat, you know what sucks for me is that Mardi Gras is in three days. | 04:44 |
| mkquist | fxd: thats a little different, did you look in preferred applications? | 04:44 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: try ubuntu 7.x or 8.x | 04:44 |
| nickrud | fxd: system->prefs->removable media multimedia tab | 04:44 |
| fragged2 | or even the alternate installer may help | 04:44 |
| mkquist | fxd: dont have an ipod myself, not sure about using one in linux... | 04:44 |
| singlesun1 | who considers themselves to know their way around fdisk rather well | 04:44 |
| pianoman | fragged2: those will run on a P III? | 04:44 |
| umop | I've been playing WoW in wine for ages and it's been fine, but suddenly today it is running really slowly (fps wise), without any updats being applied etc.. How can i troubleshoot this? | 04:44 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Hahahah, wtf | 04:45 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | "And that was that she had succeeded in putting tranquilizers in Bill Clinton's milk!" | 04:45 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Some random quote about hillary clinton on FOX (which my dad is watching for some reason) | 04:45 |
| fxd | mkquist: oh, thanks, i'm trying that right now | 04:45 |
| fragged2 | pianoman: yes, there is very little overhead increase in newer versions unles something major has been changed, although I do recommend using xubuntu for a P3... The majority of software is designed for older systems | 04:46 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Politics is getting strange around now. | 04:46 |
| singlesun1 | who knows their way around fdisk really well and could give me some help with probally something simple that Im looking over | 04:46 |
| mkquist | fxd: i think nickrud got it for ya | 04:46 |
| b4l74z4r | my external usb drive keeps disappearing and reappearing in my file browser along with a popup in the lower right corner of the screen that says something about it being unsafe to remove usb drives without unmounting them first, how can i stop this? | 04:46 |
| pianoman | fragged2: thanks, I'll look into xubuntu then | 04:46 |
| nickrud | b4l74z4r: check your physical connection, probably something is loose somewhere | 04:47 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 04:47 |
| pmratpoison | hello! correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that if you choose "recovery mode" from grub (default installation) you get a # terminal without any password inquiry whatsoever. Isn't that a security issue? | 04:47 |
| travisat | pmratpoison: if somebody has access to your box it really doesn't matter | 04:47 |
| nickrud | pmratpoison: letting anyone have physical access to your machine is a security issue, there are many other ways in besides recovery mode | 04:48 |
| Flannel | pmratpoison: Physical access to a machine is a security issue | 04:48 |
| fragged2 | pmratpoison: an attacker that has access to a physical machine means you have more of a problem then just a boot option | 04:48 |
| dimedo | hey guys, i somehow managed to remove the shutdown and restart options from my logoff button menu. any idea how i could recover this? | 04:48 |
| Flannel | pmratpoison: If it bothers you, you can ask for a password to get into recovery mode | 04:48 |
| travisat | haha | 04:48 |
| fragged2 | lol | 04:48 |
| Tygir | travisat: so i have the w32codecs and it still doesnt play in vlc...should i reboot/ | 04:48 |
| nickrud | pmratpoison: bios password with the case locked in a vault. | 04:48 |
| iNTRONIX | Ubuntu Freaks! THX! now I can see the text in Counter-strike 1.6. But when I change setings to 1024x768 the game isnt in the middle of hte screen. Can solve it? | 04:48 |
| zcat_ | I have an encrypted filesystem .. even if you took the drive out, you couldn't recover my files.. | 04:48 |
| travisat | Tygir: no don't reboot have you tried mplayer yet? | 04:48 |
| travisat | Tygir: it seems you have a really strange avi | 04:48 |
| nickrud | zcat_ wins! | 04:49 |
| fragged2 | zcat_: lag much? | 04:49 |
| zcat_ | hardly notice | 04:49 |
| zelrikriando | anybody knows a bit about amsn? | 04:49 |
| zcat_ | I expected it to be noticeably slower, but it doesn't seem to be | 04:50 |
| travisat | iNTRONIX: change the game settings to your resolution | 04:50 |
| pmratpoison | well, physical access to a laptop is really not something you can avoid at all times... I suppose one could follow Flannel's advice | 04:50 |
| Tygir | travisat: no i havent tried mplayer...getting it now... | 04:50 |
| fragged2 | zcat_: its still probbably too much overhead for an important fileserver | 04:50 |
| pmratpoison | but I do I go about it? | 04:50 |
| travisat | Tygir: I usually have no problems with vlc, but I think mplayer supports more formats | 04:50 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amsn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:50 |
| Flannel | pmratpoison: You can set a password via GRUB, for those boot options. Or you can set a root password. I strongly suggest the former | 04:50 |
| piroko | Hello all. I just installed ubuntu on my thinkpad x31. Everything works perfectly except for the bootsplash (it's just black). What would be the recommended way to debug the problem? | 04:50 |
| nickrud | pmratpoison: I have my bios to boot only from the hard drive, with a bios password so they can't boot with a cd or usb. If they steal it, they can take out the screws, I guess | 04:50 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | what is amsn anyway? | 04:50 |
| zcat_ | I should probably zero-wipe my swapfs on shutdown too :) | 04:50 |
| zelrikriando | aMSN | 04:51 |
| iNTRONIX | travisat: If I change from 800x600 to 1024x768 the game isnt in the middle of the screen. | 04:51 |
| zelrikriando | it s not for me | 04:51 |
| travisat | pmratpoison: I suggest a security password via bios level if you are really scared | 04:51 |
| iNTRONIX | but i can game with 800x600 its ok | 04:51 |
| dhanar10 | piroko, try modifying your usplash.conf | 04:51 |
| zelrikriando | I have to help somebody with that tomorrow :) | 04:51 |
| piroko | dhanar10: Haha. You fixed it for me. The resolution is out of bounds :D | 04:52 |
| travisat | iNTRONIX: im not sure what your are saying is it cutting off sides of the game? | 04:52 |
| piroko | dhanar10: Thank you. | 04:52 |
| nickrud | piroko: /etc/usplash.conf , that is. Set it to your screens native res | 04:52 |
| dhanar10 | it is ok. it is also happens with toshiba satellite a??? | 04:52 |
| nickrud | I hate the splash screen, anyway | 04:52 |
| iNTRONIX | travisat: yes, cutting off sides of the game | 04:52 |
| Tygir | travisat: mplayer isnt working either... | 04:52 |
| _Infurnus_ | Simple Question, How can i create symlinks recursively throughout directories. IE index.php needs to be in all directories from ~/Music/*. I would rather create a sym link so i can delete the main index.php if need be. Least amount of effort is goal. Any ideas? | 04:52 |
| piroko | nickrud: Right. I actually switched from debian out of curiosity. I'm impressed so far. | 04:53 |
| silent_ | I'm having an issue with rhythmbox crackling/skipping and using almost 100% of my cpu before crashing, any known bugs... infinite loops or something? | 04:53 |
| Flannel | pmratpoison: You'd use the GRUB password option, and then lock on all options you want locked (I believe). Ubuntu GRUB is identical to any other GRUBs, so any internet howto ought to do it. I haven't ever done it personally though. | 04:53 |
| jfkdsljio | I wish everyone were forced to use linux. | 04:53 |
| jfkdsljio | That would be fun. | 04:53 |
| dhanar10 | yes. search in google for more details... | 04:53 |
| rainwalker | jfkdsljio: why? | 04:53 |
| Cpudan80 | jfkdsljio: And anti-capitalistic, way to go | 04:53 |
| zelrikriando | rainwalker: because that would be fun | 04:53 |
| pmratpoison | well, thnx fot the prompt replies, I'll try to configure my grub I guess | 04:53 |
| static | what is your problem singlesun? | 04:53 |
| travisat | iNTRONIX: well wine normally doesn't adjust your actual resolution just the size of the game on the screen so to see the whole game you would have to change your resolution of x to 1024x768 | 04:53 |
| nickrud | piroko: that's how I ended up here myself. Suddenly I could be lazy, I saved at least 10 hrs a week maintaining unstable | 04:53 |
| rainwalker | zelrikriando: how so? | 04:53 |
| zcat_ | _Infurnus_: find . -type d -exec ln -s /path/to/real/index.php {}/index.php \; | 04:53 |
| travisat | Tygir: sorry man im out of options codecs can be a pain in the butt even on windows | 04:54 |
| piroko | nickrud: Hehe. Yup. I'm in the experienced-but-lazy linux user category. | 04:54 |
| pmratpoison | in another note, I have a more immediate problem. when I press alt control F1 through F6 I don't get a tty! | 04:54 |
| zelrikriando | rainwalker: I dont know, ask jfkdsljio for that | 04:54 |
| pmratpoison | I just get a flashing cursor | 04:54 |
| iNTRONIX | ok travisat | 04:54 |
| fragged2 | Tygir: maybe install the recommended plugins? | 04:54 |
| umop | I've been playing WoW in wine for ages and it's been fine, but suddenly today it is running really slowly (fps wise), without any updats being applied etc.. How can i troubleshoot this? | 04:54 |
| rainwalker | zelrikriando: I did haha | 04:54 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80: that's nothing to do with capitalism, it's authoritarianism | 04:54 |
| travisat | umop: did you update wine? | 04:55 |
| jrib | pmratpoison: bug exists on bugs.ubuntu.com with workarounds. Let me know if you can't find it | 04:55 |
| jfkdsljio | well the anticapitalism is a factor but mainly i hate how mainstream applications must keep people at a fourth grade level | 04:55 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: To force people to use a particular OS isnt good | 04:55 |
| _Infurnus_ | zcat_ you rock awesome man thanks for the help | 04:55 |
| pmratpoison | jrib: thnx | 04:55 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80: agreed. But it's not economics, it's politics | 04:55 |
| umop | travisat, I have just now, after it became slow | 04:55 |
| Cpudan80 | nickrud: Maybe "communistic" was a better word | 04:55 |
| jfkdsljio | dictatoriship is best | 04:55 |
| stowaway2 | hello | 04:56 |
| nickrud | Cpudan80: no, authoritarian. Economic theory has nothing to do with it | 04:56 |
| piroko | nickrud: For future reference, what is the de-facto place to go to answer my own Ubuntu questions without bugging this channel first? | 04:56 |
| stowaway2 | whats the kernel directory in ubuntu? | 04:56 |
| zelrikriando | Cpudan80: wrong | 04:56 |

| piroko | stowaway2: /boot ? | 04:56 |
| stowaway2 | p903 NOT dvico fusion pro | 04:56 |
| travisat | umop: it might be that you updated wine, sometimes older versions work better for a game, you might want to check on winehq for actual faqs on wow in wine or it could just be some system process bogging your system down so you could look for that in your system monitor | 04:56 |
| zelrikriando | Cpudan80: http://www.politicalcompass.org/ for you | 04:56 |
| stowaway2 | thanks piroko | 04:56 |

| piroko | stowaway2: np | 04:56 |
| nickrud | piroko: pretty much help.ubuntu.com/community , and ubuntuforums.com. The stuff varies wildly in quality. Your best source of info is your debian experience | 04:56 |

| voice | thats the thing | 04:59 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I should point out that I'm using a BCM 43xx card | 04:59 |
| Flannel | rpj8: winehq maintains an Ubuntu repository, with the most recent wine versions, you can use that if you want the current version | 04:59 |
| dhanar10 | voice: what's your computer/laptop? | 04:59 |
| voice | ubuntu goes to boot up, and then freezes at the loading bar | 04:59 |
| rpj8 | travisat: I see. You're using the one from the gutsy repos you say? | 04:59 |
| Flannel | rpj8: Those are bugfixes and security updates. | 04:59 |
| travisat | rpj8: yep 46 | 04:59 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | The restricted driver manager can manage it with 7.10 | 04:59 |
| jfkdsljio | ubuntu should add that repo to its sources.list by default | 04:59 |
| dhanar10 | voice: what's your computer/laptop? | 04:59 |
| voice | then i goes into the bootbox (or somehting like that) | 04:59 |
| voice | i can list you the specs of my pc | 05:00 |
| rpj8 | Flannel: I see. See I did not know that. Is that what a rolling release refers to? That being the exact opposite? | 05:00 |
| dhanar10 | ok | 05:00 |

| heatmzzr | sound works on my vaio but only one channel, is there a fix for it? | 05:00 |
| umop | travisat, I know this, but you are providing very generic responses | 05:00 |
| jrib | pmratpoison: erm, remove "edge" from the url if you need to | 05:00 |
| voice | intel e2140 proc, abit ip35 mobo (p35 chipset), 2gb ddr2 ram, 250gb harddrive | 05:00 |
| travisat | umop: it can be hard to provide a specific answer to a generic question | 05:00 |
| zelrikriando | which depot jfkdsljio? | 05:00 |
| Flannel | rpj8: a rolling release is the exact opposite. Versions come and go as they are updated upstream. The benefit (and drawback) is that you're always running new software, and you can't guarantee all the software versions will play nice with one another | 05:01 |
| pmratpoison | jrib: thnx! :) | 05:01 |
| silent_ | does amarok have difficulty loading musical content in kde? it's... I'm not quite sure what it's doing.. it hangs occasionally in gnome | 05:01 |
| Tygir | fragged2: what are the recommened plugins? | 05:01 |
| rpj8 | Flannel: I see. So is this identical to 'bleeding edge' ? | 05:01 |
| umop | travisat, Yes, but I asked where to begin troubleshooting, you helped me with that, now I'm past that point, but lets not argue about that ;) | 05:02 |
| silent_ | Flannel: even 'stable' software misbehaves | 05:02 |
| fragged2 | silent_: but stable software has been bugtested before it becomes stable | 05:02 |
| Flannel | rpj8: Not necessarily. Bleeding edge would be one form of a rolling release. Rolling release can be limited to stable software (such as debian testing, as opposed to unstable) | 05:02 |
| fragged2 | Tygir: not entirely sure, I barely use Ubuntu | 05:02 |

| pmratpoison | jrib: I'm not using vesa, though, I'm using fglrx... I don't know if that has anything to do with, it I will read on though | 05:02 |
| rpj8 | Flannel: I see. ANd bleeding edge is unstable | 05:03 |
| jrib | pmratpoison: it's probably the same issue, happens to me on nvidia | 05:03 |
| fragged2 | silent_: currently XUbuntu on Desktop / Fileserver and Gentoo on laptop, eventually desktop will be gentoo once I've got everything the way I want it on my laptop | 05:03 |
| stiv2k | help, where on earth did the `s2ram` binary go for the uswsusp package??? its missing | 05:03 |
| travisat | umop: well to be honest I can't see something messing up like you are saying without some sort of change on your system | 05:03 |
| Flannel | rpj8: exactly | 05:03 |
| silent_ | fragged2: why do you prefer gentoo? ...I've never tried it personally | 05:03 |
| jetscreamer | stiv2k: apt-file ? | 05:03 |
| klndz3 | So what are peoples favorite Ubuntu performance enhancing tweaks? I'm new to Ubnutu, and I'm looking for ways to improve the performance of my laptop. | 05:04 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | silent_, I'm a gentoo user as well, and I can provide a bit of insight on that | 05:04 |
| umop | travisat, Yep, that's totally understandable. Just looking for some fresh ideas | 05:04 |
| silent_ | klndz3: get rid of compiz-fusion | 05:04 |
| dhanar10 | voice: i think ur problem is related to the P35 chipset.... | 05:04 |
| Flannel | stiv2k: I don't see it in any packages. | 05:04 |
| voice | is there anything i can do to fix it? | 05:04 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I use gentoo when I want to get the performance benefits related to setting compile-time options for all of my programs, ubuntu when I want a quick installation | 05:05 |
| dimedo | hi again. i have a problem: my System>Quit menu in Gnome doesn't show options for reboot and shutdown anymore. please help me recover that | 05:05 |
| fragged2 | silent_: you have to compile everything from sources, which is kind of a pain but it means that you get everything the way you want it, and understand whats going on under the hood of your system more so than most other distributions. The biggest benifit IMO is a better community, there are less stupid people than what there are on other distributions (mostly because you have to /manually/ install your system which many are incapable of doing) | 05:05 |
| silent_ | Sir_Fawnpug: I started out CLI in debian... Ubuntu seemed like the next logical step... never really that curious about other distributions, as ubuntu does everything I need, but I might dabble a bit | 05:05 |
| LKC | help please. im getting a errow when i login to ubuntu saying that gnome power management wasnt installed properly. this happened after trying to make AWN auto start | 05:05 |
| Fenyx | I love you guyz. | 05:05 |
| travisat | umop: well I tried, I don't run wow anymore, I am no longer addicted so I don't know the current situation with wine and wow, maybe somebody else can help | 05:05 |
| umop | travisat, thanks | 05:05 |
| stiv2k | Flannel: it used to be in uswsusp... | 05:05 |
| stiv2k | Flannel: where did it go? | 05:05 |
| stiv2k | Flannel: theres s2both and s2disk... no s2ram | 05:05 |
| fragged2 | silent_: Gentoo is interesting, but also a pain at the same time (Most configurations are mere skeletons and you must manually do everything yourself) | 05:06 |
| silent_ | fragged2: but even compiling isn't all that difficult | 05:06 |
| klndz3 | silent_: Will that really make a significant difference? | 05:06 |
| dhanar10 | voice: try reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597252 | 05:06 |
| dimedo | i had a disconnect, was there any answer to my question realtion the shutdown/reboot options in my System>Quit menu? | 05:06 |
| jrib | silent_, fragged2, Sir_Fawnpug: mind moving the distro discussion over to #ubuntu-offtopic? | 05:06 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | jrib, sure | 05:06 |
| fragged2 | jrib: I dont see the problem, Linux is about choice, discussing other distributions merely gives an insight into genpop | 05:06 |
| fragged2 | but I will, just to follow the crowd =) | 05:07 |
| opteroN | why is ubuntu better that windows | 05:07 |
| silent_ | fragged2: yes, but this is an ubuntu support channel, I'll be in offtopic | 05:07 |
| jrib | fragged2: I agree. But #ubuntu is solely for support because of the large amount of traffic, that's why #ubuntu-offtopic exists for other more "fun" topics | 05:07 |
| matthew_ | opteroN: why's water wet ;) | 05:07 |
| zelrikriando | opteroN: it s malware (windows?) free | 05:07 |

| danc3 | opteroN: trolling hour is over | 05:08 |
| zelrikriando | opteroN: I did | 05:08 |
| Flannel | stiv2k: It was in uswsusp. It didn't go anywhere. It was removed, check the most recent comment: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/u/uswsusp/uswsusp_0.6~cvs20070618-1ubuntu2/changelog | 05:08 |
| opteroN | trolling ? | 05:08 |
| danc3 | yeah | 05:08 |
| opteroN | i was asking a question | 05:08 |
| opteroN | get lost you herb | 05:08 |
| danc3 | a dumb question, which you know is trolling | 05:08 |
| silent_ | danc3: if you feed the troll, the troll wins. | 05:08 |
| danc3 | yeah | 05:08 |
| jrib | pmratpoison: up to you. I think that if you set it to any value, you'll get the blackscreen, unless you use one of the workarounds where you remove some modules from being blacklisted | 05:08 |
| opteroN | how is that a dumb question | 05:08 |
| danc3 | opteroN: hush | 05:08 |
| jrib | !offtopic | opteroN | 05:08 |
| ubotu | opteroN: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 05:08 |
| silent_ | danc3: stop feeding the troll | 05:09 |
| opteroN | there is no such thing as a dumb question stop starting trouble | 05:09 |

| opteroN | this is a ubuntu support channel correct ? | 05:09 |
| silent_ | opteroN: that's a matter of opinion. Try both and decide for yourself, or are you incapable of independent thought? | 05:09 |

| Flannel | klndz3: when you hit "apply" | 05:10 |
| decay | in short, what does noapic mean? | 05:10 |
| zelrikriando | opteroN: it s not a support related question, it s a debate question | 05:10 |

| silent_ | jrib has admin, I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pole | 05:10 |

| travisat | decay: noapic mean no apic, apic is part of the interupt control | 05:11 |
| voice | thanks dhanar10, but there doesn't seem to be anything on there that helps me | 05:11 |
| TheBlackOut | !fixgrub | 05:11 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:11 |
| silent_ | apic = Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller | 05:11 |
| decay | when should noapic be used? because its the only way i can boot up my laptop | 05:12 |
| decay | however, the wireless driver wont work. ive tried all | 05:12 |
| matthew_ | is it possible to launch a video-dvd through nautilus? for example, I can launch any video files, like divx or h.264 from nautilus. however, i can not launch dvds from nautilus because they are a "folder" (in the file structure). is there any way around this? | 05:12 |
| voice | i suppose i could try setting my harddrive to ide, but i dont know how to set acpi=off, and apparently that isn't really a fix anyway | 05:12 |
| travisat | decay: when its the only way to boot up your laptop :) | 05:12 |
| silent_ | acpi =/= apic | 05:12 |
| dhanar10 | voice: ok, just be patient for now... wait for next release in april... | 05:12 |

| Hilikus | does anyone here use DAR? | 05:13 |
| rowdy | how to adjust it..the brightness doesnt cut it | 05:13 |
| jfkdsljio | try nvidia-settings | 05:13 |
| dhanar10 | voice: based on my experience, linux is always problematic with newer hardware.... | 05:13 |
| silent_ | voice: you had compatibility issues so you tried an unstable distro... | 05:13 |
| rowdy | it has a intel graphics card | 05:13 |
| voice | i just wanted to see if the issues with my chipset were fixed | 05:14 |
| rowdy | jfkdsljio: was that for you said that? | 05:14 |
| voice | with the new distro | 05:14 |
| silent_ | voice, what chipset? | 05:14 |
| jfkdsljio | hmm I dunno, I had an intel gpu laptop and never had to change the settings | 05:14 |
| travisat | voice: what is your chipset? | 05:14 |
| voice | p35 | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | With my last laptop - it dident work very well.. then the next release it started working great. :) | 05:14 |
| stiv2k | Flannel: reading... but *why* was it removed?!? | 05:14 |
| silent_ | hmm.. that's intel, no? | 05:14 |
| voice | indeed | 05:14 |
| rowdy | like i was watching this game and the field is showing up too bright | 05:14 |
| travisat | voice: in the options change sata settings from ide to raid | 05:14 |
| silent_ | voice, how new is that chipset? | 05:14 |
| travisat | voice: bios options | 05:14 |
| Flannel | stiv2k: I have no idea. "Because it doesn't make sense in ubuntu". You'll have to ask the maintainer. | 05:14 |
| travisat | voice: I am using a p35 chipset | 05:14 |
| voice | to raid? I thought that was for multiple harddrives? | 05:15 |
| jfkdsljio | rowdy I really don't know what to do on this one | 05:15 |
| rowdy | i tried xgamma -gamma .5 but that doesnt seem to work | 05:15 |
| rowdy | ok jfkdsljio | 05:15 |
| travisat | voice: I know it is, but the raid controller is suppported and will work without raid setup | 05:15 |

| voice | ok | 05:15 |
| voice | i'll try that | 05:15 |
| rowdy | jfkdsljio: any idea what i should be looking for | 05:15 |
| voice | thanks travisat | 05:15 |
| travisat | voice: took me 2 hours to figure it out :p | 05:15 |
| voice | were you having the same issue then? | 05:15 |
| travisat | voice: was like while will windows install but linux won't | 05:16 |
| travisat | voice: I couldn't get a hard drive detected if that was your issue | 05:16 |
| silent_ | just out of curiosity, anyone here succeeded in installing linux on an nvidia 680i platform? | 05:16 |

| travisat | dhanar10: and yes I have the same chipset as him and it did stall on the usplash for me, so I tried nosplah on grub, saw it sticking on the hard drives, then I played with the bios settings and got it to work | 05:20 |

| spoon | Has anyone used Envy?? | 05:29 |
| Flannel | !samba | Jaza | 05:29 |
| ubotu | Jaza: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 05:29 |
| Jaza | thanks | 05:30 |
| spoon | There is also a shared folders under Administration that sets up samba for you | 05:30 |
| Dr_willis | spoon, its best to avoide envy, and automatix, and other tools. | 05:30 |
| dhanar10 | dimendo: check ur gconf settings | 05:30 |
| gigamonk` | yu: thanks. However I think I tried that--is that to resize or move? Anyway, I tried them both and I can't make the window any smaller and I can't move it up enough to see the bottom. | 05:31 |
| gigamonk` | Anyway, I'm now reinstalling with stock Ubuntu instead of Xubuntu to see if that makes my file any easier. | 05:32 |
| spoon | Dr_willis, I have tried building a package with the prop drivers because even though the Open source ATI drivers on the liveCD work, when I install, my X gets all messed up... I see Starting up... then blackness | 05:32 |
| Dr_willis | gigamonk`, hold down the alt-key. click in the window and move it up | 05:32 |
| spoon | So why is it, the live CD can bring up X, but when i install and reboot, I get no X | 05:33 |
| spoon | I have to go to recovery mode | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | spoon, so you have used the restricted-manager yet to install the ati drivers from the repos? | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | the live cd is proberly using the vesa driver, the install may be using the 'ati' drivers | 05:33 |
| spoon | Dr_willis, I have tried that after using the VESA drivers after a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:33 |

| snake | on my PC | 05:39 |
| joshual | dhanar10: ok, do you know what the dependencies needed would be when installing on a fresh install? | 05:39 |
| spoon | xine has less dependencies | 05:39 |
| sixstorm | snake, have you tried reinstalling Firefox? | 05:39 |
| snake | yup | 05:39 |
| snake | but i haven't open it yet :P | 05:39 |
| snake | i scare :P | 05:39 |
| sixstorm | lol | 05:40 |
| sixstorm | try to completely wipe FF off of your system and reinstall it | 05:40 |
| sixstorm | use synaptic | 05:40 |
| snake | trying it now | 05:40 |
| sixstorm | might have some screwed up libraries or something | 05:40 |
| sixstorm | you never know | 05:40 |

| spoon | wonder how hard it would be to port one of the n800's ipod-like media player interfaces to ubuntu.... like UKMP or Canola2 | 05:41 |
| dhanar10 | dhanar10: some of the packages are xine-ui, libxine, libxcb*, libxvmc, and many more... sorry i can't list them all. anyone can? | 05:42 |
| joshual | I dont see how I can download all the dependencies needed for xine | 05:42 |
| hanasakiRemote | how do I get the flash plugin in firefox to work? I have ... flash.plugin-nonfree but get the missing plugin for this page ... http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/screencast_web11_travel_map_another | 05:42 |
| dhanar10 | dhanar10: u can download it in packages.ubuntu.com | 05:42 |
| rainwalker | !flash | 05:42 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash - The Flash package is currently BROKEN, see « /msg ubotu FlashIssues » | 05:42 |

| jfkdsljio | is there a way to make apt download more than one file at a time? | 05:43 |
| spoon | shows dependecies, i dont want to paste here... | 05:43 |
| jfkdsljio | I would kill to have that happen | 05:43 |
| hanasakiRemote | dhanar10: rainwalker I already avhe that installed.. that's the problem :( | 05:43 |
| hanasakiRemote | it don't work | 05:43 |
| Starnestommy | jfkdsljio: apt-get install package1 package2 package3 ...? | 05:43 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Starnestommy, I think he wants them to download in parallel | 05:44 |
| jfkdsljio | that wouldn't make it download the files simultaneously, it downloads things one at a time | 05:44 |
| rainwalker | hanasakiRemote: yeah, flash is broken, so you could install it yourself from adobe's site | 05:44 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | I need help, people, i am sick of vista crashes, but, still, i need it for blody Adobe, because of work, and i was, amazed by ubuntu beryl,and a question is, is it hard to make dual bot of this two OP? | 05:45 |
| hanasakiRemote | how do I get the flash plugin to work? it is installed but firefox shows it needs to have int installed... | 05:45 |
| rainwalker | Marko_Vojvodic: it's easiest if ubuntu was installed first, but I know there are ways | 05:45 |
| victor__ | Mark: i suggest you to install virtualbox | 05:45 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Marko_Vojvodic, Ubuntu dual boots even to vista pretty easily | 05:45 |
| maxownz | Marko_Vojvodic: my roommate dual boots xp and ubuntu gutsy just fine. he just followed tutorials online. | 05:45 |
| rainwalker | hanasakiRemote: type "about:plugins" in the address bar in firefox, is flash player listed? | 05:46 |
| cirkit | make a symlink to your firefox plugins directory so that flash plugin points to firefox plugins | 05:46 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | Yes, but, i am totaly new in linux world, i don't know, how to do it, so, the main thing is, to instal ubuntu first, on empty hard discs? | 05:46 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | I have to disagree with rainwalker though, I think it's better to do vista second because windows never usually asks you if you want to leave the boot loader alone and clobbers it | 05:46 |
| maxownz | Marko_Vojvodic: i have another pc with vista on it and it crashes all the time, too. is there anything specific you've pinpointed causing the crashes? | 05:47 |
| rainwalker | Sir_Fawnpug: disagree? | 05:47 |
| hanasakiRemote | rainwalker: yes... -> video/flv Flash video flv Yes | 05:47 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | :-)HAH THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:-) | 05:47 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | rainwalker, about the order in which ubuntu/vista should be installed | 05:47 |
| rainwalker | Sir_Fawnpug: I said ubuntu should be first... | 05:47 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | i know why it's crashes, but i need Vista because of Adobe, master collection for work... | 05:47 |
| spoon | Sir_Fawnpug, my favorite way is to install vmware-server, then install windows in the virtual machine | 05:47 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | UBUNTU FIRST??? | 05:47 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | Is that last bid:-) | 05:47 |
| rainwalker | hanasakiRemote: weird...well you could still try installing it from adobe's site | 05:48 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | rainwalker, if ubuntu is first, you'd hae to make a second pass for the installation to reinstall grub | 05:48 |
| spoon | UBUNTU FIRST, then windows in vmware machine | 05:48 |
| imaginal | My video players close when compizfusion is running. xserver-xgl seems to keep this from happening, but I don't like it. How can I easily toggle xserver-xgl? | 05:48 |
| rainwalker | Sir_Fawnpug: you're just repeating what I said...ubuntu first, vista second | 05:48 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | rainwalker, no I'm not. I was saying ista first. | 05:48 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Ubuntu second | 05:49 |
| cirkit | why bother with vista? its terrible | 05:49 |
| spoon | no, vista first makes sense, if you dont want to do a second pass, and don't want to use vmware | 05:49 |
| cirkit | just install Ubuntu | 05:49 |
| rainwalker | (11:50:34 PM) Sir_Fawnpug: I have to disagree with rainwalker though, I think it's better to do vista second because windows never usually asks you if you want to leave the boot loader alone and clobbers it | 05:49 |
| cirkit | lol | 05:49 |
| spoon | Vista will clobber your bootloader | 05:49 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | rainwalker, hmm, I guess I did say that, I guess you couldn't have known what I meant if I mistyped it. Whoops, sorry. | 05:49 |
| cirkit | it doesn't matter if vista or ubuntu get installed first | 05:49 |
| cirkit | as long as you know which boot loader you're going to be using | 05:49 |
| rainwalker | Sir_Fawnpug: ohh okay that makes A LOT more sense now | 05:49 |
| spoon | or keep it in the VM... and then you can use both at the same time | 05:50 |
| Unseen | i have problem with flash working with opera | 05:50 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Rainwalker, you'll have to forgive me, I had my wisdom teeth out yesterday. | 05:50 |
| spoon | oh, vista finds ubuntu with it's bootloader now?? | 05:50 |
| rainwalker | Sir_Fawnpug: haha but you're typing? | 05:50 |
| cirkit | why would you want to use NT Loader? | 05:50 |
| cirkit | use Grub or something | 05:50 |
| spoon | I wouldnt... | 05:50 |
| Unseen | cant seem to load the video | 05:51 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | rainwalker, hey, it's about the only thing I can do. | 05:51 |
| Jaza | how do you edit /etc/fstab ? | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | Jaza, sudo nano /etc/fstab | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | is one way | 05:51 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | Now i am just more, confused, :-)i work graphics, but :-)....i still don't know to do it:-) ok, now i will format my hard drives, and then, should i boot with vista CD or Ubuntu CD? | 05:51 |
| rainwalker | does ubuntu have access to the bios? | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | !fstab | Jaza | 05:51 |
| ubotu | Jaza: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:51 |
| Jaza | thanks | 05:51 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | rainwalker, it's not so much the fact that my wisdom teeth are out that is making me confusing, but the pain meds I'm on, haha | 05:52 |
| rainwalker | Sir_Fawnpug: it's ok, I'm jacked up on about 4 or 5 different meds haha | 05:52 |
| tgrisier | ubotu, quicktime > me | 05:52 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | People, why do you poison your body with so many meds?:-) | 05:53 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Marko_Vojvodic, hey, mine were prescribed to me, haha | 05:53 |
| rainwalker | Marko_Vojvodic: because I can't function without them (well I can, but I would be crazy dysfunctional) | 05:53 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | Yes, but still you need to find a way to get rid of them, unless it's cronical:-)or....:)somthing hard :) | 05:53 |

| Marko_Vojvodic | Yes, :-)I i am more, orientated to alternative medicine, tee's and herbs, :)less on meds:-) | 05:55 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | but i belive, strongest medicine is power of will:) | 05:55 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Marko_Vojvodic, do you mean like homeopathy? | 05:55 |
| rainwalker | Marko_Vojvodic: give me an herbal thing for ADHD, allergies, and not getting the flu and I'll be glad to take it | 05:55 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Homeopathy is great except it rarely works, haha | 05:56 |

| joshual | hi again, I'm still having a hard time figuring out exactly which packages i need to download so that I can install commercial dvd playback support on an OFFLINE computer... if I go to packages.ubuntu.com and track down the xine-gui package it has many dependencies, then each of those dependencies have many dependencies and so on... help? | 05:56 |
| Marko_Vojvodic | did you try to change your place of living? for few months? | 05:56 |

| Sir_Fawnpug | joshual, what about mpeg123? | 05:57 |
| joshual | Sir_Fawnpug: what about it? are you saying I need it? | 05:58 |

| dimedo | hey there, is there a way of prohibiting window title bars to move under gnome toolbars? | 05:59 |
| iNTRONIX | is it possible to install the ATI linux drivers from ati web? | 05:59 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | Ubuntu doesn't come with MPEG codecs by default, because they're encumbered by patents | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | Jaza, i never mount samba shares that way. I use the FuseSMB tools. | 05:59 |
| joshual_ | ok, but that doesnt really help me | 05:59 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | But you can optionally install it | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | Jaza, you do need the correct servername Yes. :) | 05:59 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | joshual, well you're trying ot do DVD playback right? | 05:59 |
| boykillsworld | use automatix unless you want to really learn what your doing | 06:00 |
| joshual_ | as I said I need to find out everything I need to download in order to be able to install dvd playback support OFFLINE... so I need to download everything first... | 06:00 |
| joshual_ | key here is offline | 06:00 |
| Jaza | what is fuseSMB and is it easier? | 06:00 |
| iNTRONIX | is it possible to install the ATI linux drivers from ati web? | 06:00 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | joshual_, well I don't know all of the dependencies, I guess it depends on the software you're using. | 06:01 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | But you can get a list of what the dependencies are from synaptic | 06:01 |
| Dr_willis | Jaza, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 06:01 |
| Jaza | I'm assuming is easier than what I was trying to do? | 06:02 |
| Sir_Fawnpug | If you right click on the package's properties it'll give you the package names it depends on, and their versions | 06:02 |
| joshual_ | I have to download all these packages on windows burn it to a cd and transfer it to the ubuntu cd | 06:02 |
| Hilikus | should i have a cdrom mounted or unmounted before burning with it? | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | Hilikus, you are burning data to a cdrom? | 06:05 |
| Hilikus | Dr_willis yes | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | Hilikus, theres noting to mount on a blank cd. :) | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | you cant mount it, | 06:05 |
| iNTRONIX | Hey! is it possible to install ATI LINUX drivers from their web site on ubuntu? | 06:05 |
| Hilikus | its not blank | 06:05 |
| matthew_ | is it possible to launch a video-dvd through nautilus? for example, I can launch any video files, like divx or h.264 from nautilus. however, i can not launch dvds from nautilus because they are a "folder" (in the file structure). is there any way around this? | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | iNTRONIX, yes.. but not reccomdneded | 06:05 |
| iNTRONIX | why? | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | Hilikus, you doing some multisession stuff then? | 06:06 |
| Hilikus | Dr_willis its multisession | 06:06 |
| maxownz | anyone got any recommendations for a ftp server? | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | iNTRONIX, it can break upgrades in the long run and cause issues. | 06:06 |
| iNTRONIX | ok | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | Hilikus, ive never used Multisession. I imagine you DONT mount them | 06:06 |

| kapace | i also installed that compiz manager | 06:10 |
| kapace | and selected no effects, and it still wouldn't enable | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | Jaza, you may need to put the ip of that server in the /etc/hosts file. or use its ip in the //#####/share type entry | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | kapace, try 'compiz --replace' in a terminal ? | 06:11 |

| kapace | how do i find out how much video memory i have? | 06:23 |
| LimCore | or edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:23 |
| reportingsjr | kapace, Look at the card? :p | 06:23 |
| LimCore | kapace: some utils, perhaps hwinfo .. but perhaps there are better tools | 06:23 |
| kapace | k | 06:24 |
| kapace | i can't open the box right now | 06:24 |
| LimCore | can I report a general bug on Ubuntu project? that ubutntu is bug ridden? | 06:24 |
| Jaza | OK I think I'm getting closer now I get this message "Mounting cifs URL not implemented yet. Attempt to mount workgroup/rec-room/Users/Carlos" | 06:24 |

| chalcedony | is there any way to slow down totem? | 06:24 |
| LimCore | ubuntu. | 06:24 |
| astro76 | LimCore: that would be as helpful as your complaining is in here | 06:25 |
| Sakkath_ | I wanna get a bzip2'd copy of /dev/sda onto this external drive (/dev/sdc) but as a file, not rewriting /dev/sdc. like /mnt/sdc/backup.bz2 or .tar.bz2 i donno. can anyone help out? <-- would anything like dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdin|bzip2 > /mnt/sdc/backup.bz2 work? please help :( | 06:25 |
| LimCore | chalcedony: dunno totem, but osme players support slowplayback, probably including vlc, mplayer | 06:25 |
| chalcedony | ok | 06:25 |
| chalcedony | LimCore: how do i get it? | 06:25 |
| LimCore | Sakkath_: want to bzip the files od dev/sda, or the binary image? | 06:25 |
| pvl1 | bruenig, theres definetly another command | 06:25 |
| pvl1 | bruenig, or rather, how do i stop X? | 06:25 |
| bruenig | killall X would probably do it | 06:26 |
| LimCore | chalcedony: apt-get install mplayer and same for vlc. if you live in the land of sand child murder^H freedom bringers, then watch out to not get arrested by RIAA etc when installing codecs | 06:26 |
| pvl1 | k thnx | 06:26 |
| Dr_willis | Sakkath, if sdc is mounted somewhere.. you mounted /dev/sdc1 Most likely. Be sure not to get the device wrong (sdc vs sdc1_ | 06:26 |
| astro76 | pvl1: switch to virtual console (ctrl-alt-f1) and sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop | 06:26 |
| LimCore | chalcedony: ther should be a factoid about multiverse etc | 06:26 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mutliverse - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:26 |
| astro76 | !xconfig | pvl1 then... | 06:26 |

| kapace | LimCore: what do i grep for my video memory in hwinfo? | 06:26 |
| LimCore | kapace: not sure.... I would probably just check on the card | 06:27 |
| kapace | can't | 06:27 |
| LimCore | or google the model (lspci and look for "video" or someihng) | 06:27 |
| decay | =) | 06:27 |
| pvl1 | astro76, exactly what i wanted, thank you vm | 06:27 |
| chalcedony | LimCore: you're good, ill try it :) | 06:27 |
| kapace | k | 06:27 |
| chalcedony | ty | 06:27 |
| LimCore | kapace: leave it blank perhaps? kernel/xorg usually autodetects it correctl | 06:27 |
| kapace | well i just wanna know :P | 06:27 |
| Sakkath_ | LimCore: well, it's a raid0 set, and i used acronis true image to make an image of the 'logical' disk, but i wanted to have a raw bzip2 compressed dd of each drive just in case the image doesn't work and i can manually restore both hdd's to it's previous state. | 06:28 |
| LimCore | Sakkath: hmm then I guess.. some dd (or.. cat?) and pipe that to bunzip2.. and output to a file on mounted partition ... | 06:28 |
| alecw1 | Is there a program that will make GNOME display a 'window preview' on the taskbar when hovering over the applications? I know compiz does this, but I can't use that due to performance issues. | 06:28 |
| Sakkath_ | LimCore: would anything like dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/stdin|bzip2 > /mnt/sdc/backup.bz2 work? | 06:29 |
| LimCore | Sakkath: not sure... | 06:29 |
| Sakkath_ | Dr_willis: thanks, by the way. i knew that just giving an example. | 06:29 |
| LimCore | Sakkath: perhaps try it and see? :) by I dont think of /dev/stdin is ok is it? | 06:29 |
| xzased | LimCore: it shows the wizard, u just have to choose your installation dir. I chose /usr/share... after that it starts without a prob | 06:29 |
| kapace | hmm only 32mb. prolly can't run compiz | 06:30 |
| Sakkath_ | Dr_willis: doing dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb is easy, but i want to put it to a file, and then compress it to make it smaller. | 06:30 |
| LimCore | Sakkath perahps just cat /dev/sda | 06:30 |
| Sakkath_ | LimCore: that will work all right even though it's binary? | 06:30 |
| jack-desktop | why do people add a $ infront of code? | 06:30 |
| LimCore | xzased: anyway, do you think this question is freaking stupid? | 06:30 |
| sixstorm | jack-desktop: open up terminal and you'll find out | 06:31 |
| sixstorm | ;) | 06:31 |
| xzased | LimCore: Half the questions of mankind are stupid | 06:31 |
| sixstorm | amen | 06:31 |
| jack-desktop | i understand that it has a $ there, but it's a inconvenience to have to remove them when you copy/paste | 06:31 |
| sixstorm | jack, true | 06:31 |
| Sakkath_ | LimCore: i donno if this will work for bzip2, i think if you use stdin it uses stdout, so will this work?: cat /dev/sda |bzip2 > /mnt/somepath/file.bz2 | 06:32 |
| rob1975au | newb here, i need to force a mount. Ubuntu tells how but i need to be in root, how? | 06:34 |
| travisat | rob1975au: place sude before the command | 06:34 |
| travisat | sudo | 06:34 |
| LimCore | rob1975au: if you denoobified ubuntu by creating a root account, then just su | 06:35 |
| boykillsworld | sudo -i will also make you root if you get sick of sudo | 06:35 |
| Aloha | rob1975au, sudo -s | 06:35 |
| rob1975au | thanks | 06:35 |
| ackbahr | Hi there! Is it possible to add a Grub entry that would lead to a non-GUI startup? I'd like to save CPU time as much as possible, and skipping Gnome seems a way to do this, isn't it? | 06:36 |
| binarymutant | is there a way to have a different wallpaper on every virtual desktop? | 06:36 |
| LimCore | ackbahr: I think going into lover init mode... but dunno detals | 06:36 |
| LimCore | binarymutant: on kde yes, just click on desktop and setup, dunno gnome | 06:36 |
| Dr_willis | binarymutant, under kde yes.. under gnome.. not seen it. | 06:37 |
| binarymutant | i'm looking for gnome | 06:37 |
| ackbahr | LimCore: "lover init"? I'll look into it. | 06:37 |
| LimCore | lower. | 06:37 |
| LimCore | hah | 06:37 |
| ackbahr | "lower", ok! | 06:37 |
| LimCore | I'm sleepy | 06:37 |
| travis_ | after running compiz --replace, how do I close the terminal window without closing compiz? | 06:37 |
| ackbahr | LimCore: So am I, but it's 7:37 am here! :) | 06:37 |
| sixstorm | travis: do alt+f2 and type that | 06:37 |
| sixstorm | that way you won't have a terminal window open at all times | 06:38 |
| jack-desktop | or do compiz --replace && | 06:38 |
| jack-desktop | one & | 06:38 |
| jack-desktop | =o | 06:39 |

| LimCore | can anyone start up a program fontforge and say is the font here unreadable? | 06:40 |
| travis_ | the & isn't working | 06:40 |
| Dr_willis | dont use the terminals close button. Use the exit command | 06:41 |
| Zelda | how do I get the other colors on the themes? | 06:41 |
| rob1975au | how do you change nvidia drivers? I have enabled in the System-Administration-Restricted Drivers... | 06:41 |
| Zelda | I just installed humanazul, but the window color, and the background are incorrect | 06:41 |
| travis_ | Ah... that helped. Thx Dr_willis | 06:41 |
| sixstorm | rob1975au = go to Ubuntu Forums and look up "Envy" | 06:42 |
| rob1975au | okay | 06:42 |
| rob1975au | thnx | 06:42 |
| sixstorm | easy app for installing video drivers for nvidia and ati | 06:42 |
| astro76 | !envy | 06:42 |
| sixstorm | works for the newest gfx cards | 06:42 |
| WorkingOnWise | has anyone compared Google Desktop to Tracker to be able to fairly decide which they like better? | 06:42 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 06:42 |
| akhilesh | I am reading lkmpg.pdf and in the first hello world module, it does not compile because there is no /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/build directory. I am running ubuntu 7.10 server. What can be the problem ? | 06:42 |
| Zelda | hey astro, can you help me again? | 06:42 |
| astro76 | perhaps | 06:43 |
| sixstorm | envy is the only way i can get my 8600GT and 8800GT to work properly | 06:43 |
| Zelda | k, i just installed the humanazul theme.. all the icons are correct, its the workspaces colors are incorrect and the window colors. any ideas? | 06:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | sixstorm: no its not, its just the only way you know how.. a little research would show you the proper way | 06:44 |
| astro76 | Zelda: none I've rarely messed with that stuff | 06:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | and envy is a terrible idea in any event | 06:44 |
| maxownz | IndyGunFreak: you from Indianapolis? | 06:44 |
| akhilesh | Do I need to create /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-server/build or should it be present by default ? | 06:44 |
| Zelda | anyone else? any ideas? | 06:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | maxownz: yup, beech grove.. | 06:44 |
| Zelda | oh and thanks for the help earlier. | 06:45 |
| Revned_ | hello. I am trying to install ubuntu on a dualboot setup with vista. I am upto the part to install the grub boot loader. But it shows me (hd0) as the partition to install it but at the beginning the installer detected my drive as sdc, and i installed it in partition 2? what options should I changed hd0 to? | 06:45 |
| sixstorm | i could shut down gdm and install drivers that way | 06:45 |
| Zelda | I figured it out. | 06:45 |
| sixstorm | or just run envy and it's done for me | 06:45 |
| rob1975au | restricted drivers doesnt give the option to change? | 06:45 |
| maxownz | IndyGunFreak: I grew up in Broad Ripple | 06:45 |
| sixstorm | i like the easy way sometimes | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | I just use the package manager :) and its done for me. | 06:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | sixstorm: then when you're system gets borked, and it will, you'll be sorry. | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | andi dont break things every time a new kernel update comes out. | 06:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | maxownz: yeah?... ive got a lot of friends up there. | 06:45 |
| sixstorm | no problems here | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | for now. | 06:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | sixstorm: how long have you had it installed. | 06:46 |
| sixstorm | but i dont try to game or anything really intense | 06:46 |
| sixstorm | 7.10 release | 06:46 |
| Dr_willis | then you boot up some day and have a black screen.. rember to reinstall your video card drivers | 06:46 |
| sixstorm | haha | 06:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: they never learn, | 06:46 |
| Dr_willis | had to explain this to a guy at work 3 times.. :) | 06:47 |
| Aloha | is flash issue gonna be fixed in hardy? | 06:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: only 3x? | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, by the 4th time he learned to rerun his envy tool :) | 06:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: should be.. but you should be able to get flash installed w/ Gutsy if you want to | 06:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: lol | 06:47 |
| akhilesh | Can someone help me with: http://pastebin.ca/889835 | 06:47 |

| Sakkath_ | wait | 06:48 |
| Sakkath_ | apparently this external hdd is ntfs | 06:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: hmm, well, you can try downloading and installign it on the live CD.... | 06:48 |
| sixstorm | i dont get to use linux too terribly often, school is all about humping Gates' leg | 06:48 |
| rob1975au | i guess with the vid card then im better sticking with the driver i get from Restricted Drivers Manager? | 06:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | !flashissue | Aloha there's a deb file linked on this thread | 06:48 |
| ubotu | Aloha there's a deb file linked on this thread: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. Fixes have landed in -proposed for testing, but most most users are advised to wait until packages are approved and released in -updates. | 06:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | well, there was. | 06:48 |
| Aloha | IndyGunFreak, where does ubuntu store installed programs on livecd? RAMdisk? | 06:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: are you on the live CD now?... | 06:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: yes, you'd have to reinstall it everytime you boot the live CD | 06:49 |
| sixstorm | anybody else in college right now? if so, do you have a linux lab? | 06:49 |
| Aloha | IndyGunFreak, no, im just trying to start an advocacy campaign using it | 06:49 |
| Aloha | IndyGunFreak, it sucks that it can't go to youtube "out of the box" | 06:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: i see, well, you can download the source from Adobe.com and install it, its a fairly small program(less than 2mb i do believe), doesn't require compiling, etc... | 06:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: well, its not ubuntu's fault.. | 06:50 |
| Aloha | IndyGunFreak, i know :) | 06:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | but anyways, it should be fixed in Hardy.. so they say | 06:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | who knows, they might even see fit to fix it in Gutsy | 06:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | i don't keep live Cds handy, but i'm guessing you could install it from adobe.com w/ little to no effort. | 06:52 |
| shayan | Hi all, does anyone know how can I double pipe two processes for the stdin of one to be the stdout of the other and vice versa? | 06:53 |
| Dr_willis | shayan, you mean merge the outputs of 2 processes into the input of a 3rd? Hmmm.... | 06:53 |
| akhilesh | shyan: named pipes ? | 06:53 |
| Aloha | IndyGunFreak, yeah its pretty easy. but if im demoing it to a windows user they're like "you have to do THAT just to get to youtube?" | 06:54 |
| akhilesh | I mean using fifos ? | 06:54 |
| talcite | join #stepmania | 06:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: well, then they've probably been brainwashed by microsoft anywyas, and wouldn';t try Linux to begin with | 06:54 |
| spiker611 | how can I figure out which x display (i.e :1) gdm is using for a user? | 06:54 |
| shayan | Dr_willis, no I want two processes to conversat | 06:54 |
| akhilesh | shyan: Create two fifos. proc1 < fifo1 >fifo2 and proc2 < fifo2 > fifo1 | 06:55 |
| sixstorm | Ubuntu needs to work more on the "out of the box" stuff | 06:55 |
| Aloha | IndyGunFreak, thats why i'm targeting them in my advocacy campaign. i'm trying to rebrainwash them with ubuntu | 06:55 |
| bardyr | Aloha, flash isnt installed in a default windows install | 06:55 |
| shayan | akhilesh, something like a| b and b| a | 06:55 |
| astro76 | Aloha: I'm pretty sure windows doesn't come with flash by default | 06:55 |
| akhilesh | shyan: would that work ? | 06:55 |
| sixstorm | windows does not come with flash installed | 06:55 |
| Aloha | oh | 06:55 |
| Aloha | then sweet | 06:55 |
| astro76 | Aloha: usually OEMs install it, but so does Dell's Ubuntu machines | 06:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | Aloha: this si true, you still have to install flash on Windows, but its made easy by using the plugin installer on Firefox and IE... | 06:56 |
| shayan | akhilesh, no that won't work | 06:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | if adobe hadn't screwed things up, youc ould install it just as easily on Ubuntu | 06:56 |
| codename | I need some help | 06:56 |
| akhilesh | shyan: whats the error ? | 06:56 |
| codename | how would i get my desktop looking like this http://opeth115.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Dec-24-72900879 | 06:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | codename: try "/join #psychiatrists" | 06:56 |
| sixstorm | Aloha: so i guess you don't use the installer in Firefox to install flash? | 06:56 |
| spiker611 | Is there a way to list X displays in use? | 06:56 |
| shayan | akhilesh, when the file is empty the first one reports an EOF | 06:56 |

| pvl1 | can someone help with me with a radeon 2600? | 07:08 |
| chalcedony | on mplayer i get this and i can't see where it's playing except in the text window. am I missing something? Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: No such file or directory | 07:08 |
| chalcedony | Can't init input joystick | 07:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | eh, now thats pidgin's downfall... but its not really pidgin's fault. | 07:09 |
| underwatercow | IndyGunFreak: lol... I thought they were supposed to be adding it at some point | 07:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | *at some point*... :) | 07:09 |
| underwatercow | IndyGunFreak: key words? | 07:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | i would say so. | 07:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | underwatercow: i think a lot of stuff got thrown off track when they were forced to switch from GAIM to pidgin, and dealing with that whole mess | 07:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | they tried to fight the empire, and in the end, had to give in. | 07:10 |
| chalcedony | Can't open joystick device /dev/input/js0: do i need to download something else? | 07:10 |
| codename | http://opeth115.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Dec-24-72900879 | 07:10 |
| codename | anyone can help me 5 bucks paypal | 07:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | codename: i already told you | 07:11 |
| Dr_willis | codename, thats... amuseing. :) | 07:11 |
| codename | y lol is it | 07:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | codename: you're going to have to find out what themes he's set up, download it, and install it... | 07:11 |
| c0mp13371331337 | underwatercow- That's something I've been waiting for for quite some time now. Can't wait for webcam support. | 07:11 |
| EmmerP_pidgin | let's try that pidgin irc :) | 07:11 |
| akhilesh | I compiled a new kernel, and gave make install modules_install | 07:11 |
| akhilesh | But it does not put initrd in /boot ? | 07:11 |
| tigran | Hi. How can I set more AGP memory. Here's my info right now: http://rafb.net/p/OBJkbB10.html | 07:12 |
| akhilesh | Did I miss something ? | 07:12 |
| codename | i got the GTK2 thing | 07:12 |
| codename | im not sure what Metacity is | 07:12 |
| codename | and i know the Icons | 07:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | metacity is gnome. | 07:12 |
| RantingHuman | How does one adjust the dimensions of a window's title bar? They seemed to have become thinner than usual... | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | looks like hes using awn and a metacity theme, and tweaked the panels. | 07:12 |
| Aloha | codename, windowmanager | 07:12 |
| codename | how do i change the application font | 07:12 |
| RantingHuman | *seem | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | metacity is gnomes window manager. | 07:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: actualy i don't think its awn.... | 07:12 |
| chalcedony | how should i control mplayer? | 07:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: i think he just resized the lower taskbar, and put icons on it, but i could be wrong | 07:12 |
| tigran | codename: System->Pref->Apperance->Font | 07:12 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, ive seen some xfce desktops that look similer. gOS had a similer looking panel also. | 07:13 |
| codename | and how did he make pidgin black | 07:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | Dr_willis: hmm it doesn't look like any awn I've seen, but it could be.. I don't do awn | 07:13 |
| codename | thanks for everything guys | 07:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | codename: its a theme, for crying out loud, i feel like i'm speaking a foriegn language | 07:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | to make it look exactly like that, you're going to have to experiment, and figure out what themes he used | 07:14 |
| sixstorm | www.ubuntuforums.org | 07:14 |
| codename | ok | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | IndyGunFreak, i dont either. :) and i forget what gOS was using. | 07:14 |
| * tigran lol @ IndyGunFreak | 07:14 | |
| sixstorm | awn isn't all that great IMO | 07:14 |
| Dr_willis | sixstorm, i agree there. | 07:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | yup, awn is over rated, but i think compiz is to. | 07:14 |
| sixstorm | it's nothing like the Mac dock | 07:14 |
| tigran | Why do we have to copy mac on that? | 07:14 |
| sixstorm | compiz is the shiznit | 07:15 |
| tigran | agreed. | 07:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | i do like the OSX icon theme, | 07:15 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: get it at gnome-look | 07:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | see, compiz never tricked my trigger..... | 07:15 |
| chalcedony | IndyGunFreak: some things are better just using what they came with | 07:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | tigran: i have it.. :) | 07:15 |
| bullgard4 | What is the file /etc/mtab for? | 07:15 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: nice haha | 07:15 |
| Dr_willis | I like the panels. we got. | 07:15 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: Hmm..good with video card stuff? | 07:16 |
| sixstorm | compiz and beryl were one of the biggest reasons to start tinkering with linux, minus server stuff | 07:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | eh.. mediocre, i set up dual screens w/ my Nvidia card pretty easily | 07:16 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Compiz is great, I just wish I could use it with my Radeon 9200se and 3200x1200 resolution. | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | bullgard4, it keeops track of whts mounted where.. Ive never had tomess with it in all these years. :) you edit the fstab file. dont touch mtab | 07:16 |
| roch | I got epilepsy gotta leave :> | 07:16 |
| Dr_willis | AWn did NOT like my dual monitor layout last i used it. | 07:16 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: What about AGP memory, increasing it. | 07:16 |
| codename | ur gonna hate me, but where is the font folder | 07:17 |
| chalcedony | can someone breifly just tell me what to do to control mplayer ? | 07:17 |
| codename | lol omg i feel bad | 07:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | tigran: hmm, isn't that something you tweak in the bios?... i hate onboard video memory, and when I build, i'll use a cheap video card, before i use onboard video ram. | 07:17 |
| akhilesh | Can anyone help me with ubuntu kernel compilation ? I compiled and installed kernel, but why is initrd absent in /boot ? | 07:17 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: It should be, cept its not more me :S | 07:17 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: http://rafb.net/p/OBJkbB10.html | 07:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm, then i have no idea on that one. | 07:17 |
| chalcedony | the player is running.. but i need to moderate the speed and back up and things | 07:17 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: One says 256M (for aperture) then the bottom one 128M | 07:18 |
| chalcedony | greetings stuporglue | 07:18 |
| chalcedony | hi friedtofu | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | akhilesh, i though tthat was made by the mkinitrd command. | 07:18 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: Which is it, is it the same thing even? | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | akhilesh, and thats about all i know on the topic. :) | 07:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | tigran: yeah, was just noticing that.. hmm, don't think i've ever saw that here before. | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | !kernel | akhilesh | 07:18 |
| ubotu | akhilesh: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages | 07:18 |
| bullgard4 | Dr_willis: Thank you very much for informing. | 07:18 |
| Dr_willis | bullgard4, man mtab and man fstab may have more info | 07:18 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: Do you mean thats a problem, bug? I'm slow..sorry. :) | 07:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | tigran: no, i mean i don't know if its a problem...., never really saw it before. | 07:19 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: Ah..haha, see what I mean, feel like an idiot now | 07:19 |

| zetheroo | hey, how do I change the default app that opens PDF's? | 07:26 |
| Austin_ | (^^) | 07:26 |
| Austin_ | right click and select "windows please." | 07:26 |
| tigran | I would want to be a mod, I'd ban people left and right. I'm just not on that much. I actually have a life ;) | 07:26 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol, | 07:26 |
| tigran | :P | 07:26 |
| * WorkingOnWise plonks %P | 07:26 | |
| c0mp13371331337 | zetheroo- Right click and Open With... Open with other application. The one you choose should be the new default. | 07:26 |
| * Austin_ is so cool running windows vista | 07:26 | |
| * Austin_ deserves to be your new godmod. | 07:27 | |
| * tigran Austin_ gets blue screen of death | 07:27 | |
| zetheroo | c0mp13371331337: thanks .... btw... thats quite a name you got there... | 07:27 |
| sixstorm | vista is funny | 07:27 |
| * Austin_ does not get BsoD | 07:27 | |
| IndyGunFreak | i never even booted vista on my new laptop to test it, never accepted the EULA, etc, first thing i did when I turned it on, check bios, insert gutsy cd, reboot. | 07:27 |
| * WorkingOnWise plonks: %P | 07:27 | |
| WorkingOnWise | grrrr | 07:27 |
| * Austin_ will probably DDOS this channel. | 07:27 | |
| M-Nagato | hi, i have a fat32 partition which i store data on. whenever i boot into linux, it changes some filenames that have japanese in them. the files are accessible on linux but are broken for windows. is there any way to stop it from changing the names? | 07:27 |
| c0mp13371331337 | zetheroo- Thanks :) | 07:27 |
| jmhodges | hey, folks. if i were to get a laptop, wshould i get the dell xps, the inspiron or something else? | 07:27 |
| * Austin_ lies like a sack of shit. | 07:28 | |
| alays | Austin_: you will get RSoD :) | 07:28 |
| tigran | XPS | 07:28 |
| Austin_ | what? | 07:28 |
| Austin_ | RSoD? | 07:28 |
| tigran | jmhodges: If you want smt really really good, top of the line, get alienware | 07:28 |
| alays | Red Screen of Death, new in vista | 07:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol, not very l33t | 07:28 |
| Austin_ | Nope. | 07:28 |
| jmhodges | tigran: really? alienware? i've heard about hw issues there | 07:28 |
| Austin_ | I hacked it so it's like a frakenOS | 07:28 |
| jmhodges | tigran: hunh | 07:28 |
| M-Nagato | alays, it was still the bsod when i tried vista | 07:28 |
| sixstorm | i had linux on my laptop but linux didn't play real nice until i dished man many hours into it | 07:28 |
| Austin_ | I'm DUAL BOOTING!!!!!!!! | 07:28 |
| tigran | jmhodges: I've heard they're good | 07:29 |
| tigran | jmhodges: never actually owned one | 07:29 |
| Bo | hallo i have try to burn ubuntu_danish version to a cd rom but it faild every time why???? Anybody got and hit to how i can get it to work? | 07:29 |
| sixstorm | im triple booting | 07:29 |
| jmhodges | tigran: ahh, cool | 07:29 |
| Austin_ | #xkcd is alot more interesting right now. | 07:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | sixstorm: it worked fine for me out of the box, with the exception of my intelhda sound, but once i got that figured out in about 10min, it worked fine. | 07:29 |
| tigran | sixstorm: Damn, you're cool | 07:29 |
| sixstorm | intel hda sound is a bitch to get working right | 07:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | sixstorm: some of them are, its actually pretty easy on my laptop.... | 07:29 |
| sixstorm | desktop effects on an intel x3100 was rough too | 07:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bo: what are you using to burn the CDs? | 07:30 |
| Austin_ | GENTOO IS BETTER. | 07:30 |
| Bo | nero was the last i trh | 07:30 |
| Austin_ | I WILL SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS! | 07:30 |
| Bo | try | 07:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok, austin, you were cute for a minute, now i'm putting you on ignore. | 07:30 |
| Austin_ | No please | 07:30 |
| Austin_ | I will be better | 07:30 |
| Bo | and dvd decrypter | 07:31 |
| Austin_ | I know my limits | 07:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | bo: ok... are you burning it as an image? | 07:31 |
| * tigran how do you scream with writting? | 07:31 | |
| sixstorm | never tried gentoo | 07:31 |
| Bo | record---> burn imagen ---> find the file ---> burn | 07:31 |
| tigran | Hmm.. So back to my question: First off does this make sense http://rafb.net/p/OBJkbB10.html Ad Second, how can I increase AGP memory (not with BIOS, don't have that option). | 07:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | bo: what happens when you reboot and have the cd in the drive? | 07:32 |
| Austin_ | Gentoo is pretty good. | 07:32 |
| sixstorm | i read the installation manual . . . | 07:32 |
| sixstorm | dayum | 07:32 |
| Austin_ | infact, I prefer it over what is the newest, fiesty fawn? | 07:32 |
| sixstorm | gutsy | 07:32 |
| Bo | nothing. nero only burn 10 % of he file | 07:32 |
| M-Nagato | so, does anyone know how to stop linux from renaming japanese filenames on startup? :? | 07:33 |
| Austin_ | I'd rather use my dual boot space on something that runs smoothly and doesn't collapse like a grandmother having a heart attack, | 07:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bo: ok, that seems like either a hardware issue, or an issue w/ nero. | 07:33 |
| Bo | In | 07:33 |
| sixstorm | i have XP, Vista and Ubuntu 7.10 on my workstation | 07:33 |
| Bo | okay. i will try on my other computer later to day. | 07:33 |
| shinda | hey guys, anyone know of any file recovery apps? | 07:33 |
| sixstorm | Vista on the HTPC and Vista on my laptop | 07:33 |
| M-Nagato | and i agree that gentoo is good, Austin_, but it was obviously made for a different audience | 07:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | Bo: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm | 07:34 |
| Austin_ | Agreed. | 07:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | bo: and remember, burn them SLOW.. 2-4x is best | 07:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | bo: if that doesn't work, i would probably try another mirror. | 07:34 |
| Austin_ | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/linux-is-and-always-will-be-crap-144631/ | 07:34 |
| maxownz | sixstorm: do you have a lot of trouble with vista crashing? | 07:34 |
| Bo | okay. i wil try thx for you time | 07:34 |
| Austin_ | That was the funniest thing i;ve read all day. | 07:34 |
| sixstorm | maxownz: no, not compared to it's release last year and the second chance i gave it last summer | 07:35 |
| ThJ | I've got a Ricoh R5C843 memory card reader built into my HP Compaq 8510w laptop but it doesn't work in Ubuntu Gutsy. It is detected and assigned as "mmc0" by the kernel, but no device nodes are created, nor are any cards inserted made visible in /proc/partitions, nor does it work to make device nodes manually, nor does any of the tips I found on Google work. Help? | 07:35 |
| Austin_ | I like the older Ubuntu releases better. | 07:36 |
| sixstorm | has anyone ever made a linux email server and used their own domain name? | 07:36 |
| Austin_ | the newer ones are far more glitched, and don't have as much support | 07:36 |
| maxownz | sixstorm: i'm almost ready to give up on it. it'll crash out of nowhere, mostly when i'm trying to dump files on it... it's by far the most frustrating OS i've ever had to deal with | 07:36 |
| tigran | Austin_: Lol...that link. It took me 10 seconds to figure it out. | 07:36 |
| underwatercow | Austin_: I think it only took me about 5-15 mins to network linux and windows together, lol | 07:36 |
| tigran | Linux just picks itup | 07:36 |
| Austin_ | I am 13 years old | 07:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | underwatercow: ?... why so long | 07:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | :) | 07:36 |
| tigran | All I did was change the workgroup name. | 07:36 |
| underwatercow | IndyGunFreak: lol, because I had some password issues in samba. | 07:37 |
| Austin_ | which makes me the youngest one in here. | 07:37 |
| Austin_ | Legally. | 07:37 |
| sixstorm | maxownz: it used to crash on me like crazy, but now after i update everything it works just fine | 07:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | ah ok. | 07:37 |
| tigran | The guys just an idio...wrong word, MS user | 07:37 |
| sixstorm | maxownz: gaming on Vista is a different story | 07:37 |
| underwatercow | IndyGunFreak: I can't even remember now what I did... but I had to use smbpasswd for something | 07:37 |
| maxownz | haha it seems like AFTER i install the updates it becomes unstable. i've almost considered re-installing it AGAIN and just leaving it without any updates | 07:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | maxownz: having probs w/ vista, or with Ubuntu? | 07:37 |
| maxownz | just vista (wrong channel i know) | 07:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok... i've got no experience w/ vista, ut what i read isn't good. | 07:38 |
| bullgard4 | Can you recommend a tutorial for 'Tracker Search'? | 07:38 |
| tigran | AGP memory, anyone know how to increase it? | 07:38 |
| ThJ | Grah, I hate it when some obscure piece of hardware fails and nobody knows how to make it work. | 07:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | tigran: i'm almost positive thast something in the bios | 07:38 |
| Austin_ | I use vista for things like BSOD, and then I use gentoo for being alive and living | 07:38 |
| yomm | I didn't realise this was the Vista Channel ... | 07:38 |
| Kira | good day | 07:38 |
| Austin_ | yes. | 07:38 |
| sixstorm | vista is ok, it's a whole hell of a lot better than it was last year | 07:39 |
| Austin_ | <>< | 07:39 |
| tigran | IndyGunFreak: Me too, like 100% sure. But..what if I don't have that in my BIOS, but it does have an AGP and its integrated. | 07:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | yomm: its not. uust about 2-3am, things kidna go on the low cool in here. | 07:39 |
| sixstorm | vista will never see the light of day in the business world | 07:39 |
| Kira | I have just installed 7.10 on my self-assembled desktop | 07:39 |
| n6hgg | BSOD is like being on the other side | 07:39 |
| Austin_ | it's 2;39 here. | 07:39 |
| underwatercow | Kira: congrats? ;-D | 07:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | tigran: now that, will have to be a mystery in a riddle, cuz i have no idea on that. | 07:39 |
| kahrytan | IndyGunFreak-> that depends on your time zone :-P 9:30pm here | 07:39 |
| underwatercow | 23:39 here | 07:39 |
| underwatercow | lol | 07:39 |
| Kira | How do I make it detect the Buffalo LCI5-TXI ethernet card? | 07:39 |

| IndyGunFreak | jfkdsljio: whats wrong w/ kopete | 07:40 |
| Austin_ | somebody say something bash.org worthy. | 07:40 |

| hansin | Any command line utility I can run to set up networking again? What it is saying when I try to bring up the network, that it doesn't know about eth0. So it reads my interface file, but can't find eth1 (I screwed up, wired is eth1). | 07:46 |

| ubotu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 07:47 |
| Amaranth | Austin_: It's fun | 07:47 |
| Austin_ | BRB: screen locked. | 07:47 |
| kahrytan | Amaranth-> they move so fast | 07:48 |
| Gnine | for all intended purposes, alpha 4 is not recommended | 07:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | !latest | 07:48 |
| ubotu | A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 07:48 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: Well, the thing is, it's detected. | 07:48 |
| tigran | ThJ: Ricoh? | 07:48 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: And it says like "mmc0" and stuff in dmesg. | 07:48 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: Does it say anything new when you stick a card in? | 07:48 |
| === grekkos_ is now known as grekkos | ||
| Amaranth | ThJ: It's possible the driver is broken too | 07:48 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: Either way you probably can't fix it | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | If you are using a development machine i.e. one you will be using for things such as work..etc...I HIGHLY recommend NOT using Hard Heron right now.... | 07:49 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: There were some setpci hacks on Google, and tips of loading some extra modules. | 07:49 |
| Gnine | hardy heron | 07:49 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: Of course, none of them worked. There's also talk that kernel .24 fixes it | 07:49 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: That sounds more likely | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | Typo gnine thanks :) | 07:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | all right, gotta bounce all.. Have a good evening | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | didnt catch it but thanks | 07:49 |
| hansin | Does anyone know what file your networking interfaces are defined (not /etc/network/interfaces, but where the OS says, hey eth0 = your wireless card and eth1 = wired ethernet)? Thanks. | 07:49 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: Have to wait until April to get 2.6.24 in a supported release | 07:50 |
| Amaranth | hansin: that's in the udev configuration | 07:50 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: No new info when inserting a card. There is one problem though, it disables IRQ 19 after a while, same IRQ as the reader has. | 07:50 |
| * Gnine notes speeddemon8803 | 07:50 | |
| Austin_ | back | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | :) | 07:50 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: Gives a stack trace and then disables, based on "nobody cares" (it actually says this in dmesg). | 07:50 |
| hansin | Amaranth: | 07:50 |
| hansin | Amaranth: Thanks. | 07:50 |
| Austin_ | Goodbye | 07:50 |
| Austin_ | This is boo-rang, and I'm going to XKCD. | 07:51 |
| Amaranth | hansin: I know the filename has 'persistent-net' in it and that it's in /etc/udev.d | 07:51 |
| tigran | ThJ: Can you paste it, I wanna see it haha | 07:51 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: Is there a way I could compile a "stock" 2.6.24 kernel? I've compiled kernels before but always customized them. How do you compile an Ubuntu-friendly one with the proper config flags? | 07:51 |
| * Gnine closes door after austin | 07:51 | |
| kahrytan | Amaranth-> austin? | 07:51 |
| ThJ | tigran: 282.242126] irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) | 07:51 |
| Amaranth | kahrytan: yeah | 07:51 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: That's actually really hard | 07:52 |

| ThJ | tigran: [ 282.242408] Disabling IRQ #19 | 07:52 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: It'd be easier to just snag the kernel and related packages from hardy | 07:52 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: Or switch to Hardy. | 07:52 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: That might be a bit much unless you enjoy things not working properly | 07:52 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: Like having nautilus crash during a file transfer | 07:52 |
| Gnine | ouch | 07:53 |
| speeddemon8803 | Jeez xubuntu for being small is taking a long time to download :/ | 07:53 |
| Amaranth | Gnine: We've got gio-enabled nautilus :) | 07:53 |
| ThJ | Amaranth: Won't Hardy packages give me problems if I try to install them? | 07:53 |
| Thurin1 | speeddemon8803: Xubuntu is not 'small' it is light, the ISO file is the same size as Ubuntu roughly 600 some megs. | 07:53 |
| Amaranth | speeddemon8803: xubuntu isn't smaller, just different | 07:53 |
| bod_ | speeddemon8803, taking your name into account, that statement is ironic in more then 1 way | 07:53 |
| kahrytan | ThJ-> Yes, .. there will | 07:53 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: The kernel shouldn't. Worst case you just boot the gutsy kernel | 07:53 |
| Gnine | have not noticed yet , Amaranth | 07:53 |
| kahrytan | ThJ-> Yes, .. they will | 07:53 |
| * Gnine got speedy connection | 07:53 | |
| Thurin1 | Xubuntu is basically Ubuntu with XFCE on top that's the only real difference - everything else is identical, almost. | 07:54 |
| Amaranth | ThJ: The only possible problem is nvidia and fglrx drivers | 07:54 |
| speeddemon8803 | dang, that comment sure backfired :) | 07:54 |
| bod_ | haha | 07:54 |
| ThJ | I have had some ugly experiences with it before. As Amaranth says though, the kernel files don't change much between versions. | 07:54 |
| * speeddemon8803 keeps trap shut next time | 07:54 | |
| Amaranth | xubuntu is not any smaller or lighter than ubuntu, except feature-wise | 07:54 |
| Amaranth | it's just Ubuntu with XFCE instead of GNOME | 07:54 |
| bod_ | anyone here , using 7.10 gutsy fancy testing some scripts for me? | 07:54 |
| hansin | You know what I bet happened, install recognized my wireless as eth0 and wired as eth1. Then since I need to hand install the broadcom driver, it doesn't see it after install as existing, so my wired now becomes eth0! Now I just need to modify /etc/network/interfaces entry to eth0. Off to check my hypothesis... Thanks. | 07:55 |

| Jewfro-Macabbi | plen0x_, check the permissions in /etc/fstab | 08:09 |
| doug_ | bod_, ndiswrapper-1.52.tar.gz | 08:09 |
| plen0x_ | Jewfro-Macabbi, that's another problem. If I set it to where a group (admin, for example) can mount/umount, it complains about an error. | 08:10 |
| fredl | bod_: I figured out what's the problem. Eclipse uses the gcj jvm on ubuntu by default. When you install the Sun jvm everything seems to work fine | 08:10 |
| bod_ | doug_, do it through synaptic,.,. so much easier | 08:10 |
| bod_ | fredl, col,.,.well done | 08:10 |
| singlesun | anyone have a decent knowledge of fdisk? | 08:11 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | plen0x_, here's and example from my file: "noatime,defaults,users,ro,umask=0 0 0" - not sure what your exact problem is then | 08:11 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | plen0x_, in that example the user who needs access must be a member of the "users" group | 08:11 |
| doug_ | bod_, it is asking me to insert the gutsy cd why? | 08:12 |
| Spee_Der | I need a plugin-in for x-chat. Is anyone aware of a weather plug-in for x-chat please ? | 08:12 |
| plen0x_ | Jewfro-Macabbi, access to the drive, or access to mount? I can create and delete files, but I can't mount/umount | 08:12 |
| bod_ | doug_, because it has certain things on the cd it needs,. im not sure why it doesnt just get them from a repo, but oh well,. give it the cd | 08:12 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | plen0x_, oh - you know I'm not sure about that - sorry | 08:12 |
| doug_ | bod_, will the live cd work? | 08:13 |
| plen0x_ | Gah! | 08:13 |
| c0mp13371331337 | doug_- You can uncheck the CD from being used from the Software Sources app. | 08:13 |
| Spee_Der | doug_ your cd is still listed in the repository file, so it is going to first check there. | 08:13 |
| fredl | bod_: when you do install the sun java jcm and thus make eclipse 'work', it all of the sudden realises that it needs one hell of a lot of plugins :) | 08:13 |
| fredl | that program is such a pig... | 08:13 |
| doug_ | c0mp13371331337, how do i uncheck that? | 08:13 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | doug_, you still have the install CD enabled as a repository, you can turn it off under - system, administration, software sources | 08:13 |
| doug_ | Spee_Der, thanks | 08:14 |
| doug_ | Jewfro-Macabbi, thank you as well | 08:14 |
| fredl | a weather plugin for xchat..... | 08:14 |
| plen0x_ | Jewfro-Macabbi, check it out. Even with your exact example, it fudges up. | 08:14 |
| plen0x_ | If I then remove the "users" option, it works fine. | 08:14 |
| fredl | that's somewhat of an unusual request Spee_Der | 08:14 |
| plen0x_ | IT's complaining about having a group set. | 08:14 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | plen0x_, sorry then - you've exceeded my knowledge | 08:14 |
| Spee_Der | doug_, look at /etc/apt/sources.list file. | 08:14 |
| c0mp13371331337 | doug_- From Synaptic, Settings > Repositories. | 08:14 |
| Spee_Der | That way too.... | 08:15 |
| c0mp13371331337 | doug_- Uncheck "Cdrom with Ubuntu 7.10 'Gutsy Gibbon". | 08:15 |
| doug_ | c0mp13371331337, i am trying to find that box | 08:15 |
| speeddemon8803 | you install packages from a cd in terminal in apt by using apt-cd correct? | 08:16 |
| c0mp13371331337 | Should be at the bottom of the Ubuntu Software tab. | 08:16 |
| Spee_Der | doug_, start Synaptic, click settings, then repositories. | 08:17 |
| Spee_Der | fredl, how is that? I'd like to be able to have it come up using an F key from time to time. | 08:17 |
| doug_ | got it thank you all | 08:18 |
| doug_ | it is still not showing wifi | 08:18 |
| bullgard4 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Tracker states: "apps like gedit and rhythmbox need to add custom metadata to files." I do not understand why gedit should need to add custom metadata to files. Can you explain? | 08:19 |
| sanozuke | alou how do i set a timer in x-xhat | 08:19 |
| sanozuke | with a message | 08:19 |
| wacoKid_ | I am trying to get a macbook pro working with ubuntu. does anyone know of a keytouch layout for macs? I've googled to no avail, can someone help me out? | 08:20 |
| wacoKid_ | I need to map some keys to CTRL and somehow manage to figure out a way to actually right click :( | 08:21 |
| wacoKid_ | damn macs ultra-simplicity | 08:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | wow....38 percent done..yay | 08:22 |
| DreamLnr | hi | 08:23 |
| spowers | is there a package like ubuntu-desktop, only without openoffice? | 08:23 |
| DreamLnr | how do i install my hp dv6000 nvidia driuvers on gutsy? | 08:23 |
| doug_ | i need some help setting up this card http://www.target.com/Linksys-Compact-Wireless-USB-Adapter/dp/B000CRFI8A/sr=1-11/qid=1202026984/ref=sr_1_11/602-7962242-9307029?ie=UTF8&index=target&field-original-keywords=lynksys&rh=k%3Alinksys&page=1 | 08:23 |
| doug_ | can someone help me on that? | 08:25 |
| bullgard4 | Can you recommend a 'Tracker Search' tutorial? | 08:25 |
| Flannel | spowers: Install ubuntu-desktop, then remove openoffice | 08:26 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | DreamLnr, system - administration - restricted drivers manager | 08:26 |
| spowers | ubuntu-desktop depends, not suggests, openoffice. so i'm not sure that would work out so well. | 08:26 |
| spowers | anyway thanks | 08:26 |
| spowers | i'll just grab individual packages.. should work well enough | 08:27 |
| Flannel | spowers: It will. When you remove OOo, you'll also remove u-d, but thats no big deal | 08:27 |
| doug_ | here is the wifi i need help setting up if anyone does not mind helping me | 08:27 |
| doug_ | http://www.target.com/Linksys-Compact-Wireless-USB-Adapter/dp/B000CRFI8A/sr=1-11/qid=1202026984/ref=sr_1_11/602-7962242-9307029?ie=UTF8&index=target&field-original-keywords=lynksys&rh=k%3Alinksys&page=1 | 08:27 |
| bullgard4 | spowers: Why do you need that? It seems to me that you did not make clear the need for that special combination. | 08:27 |
| Cheaziz | Hi everyone. | 08:27 |
| Flannel | spowers: u-d is just a metapackage, so not having it wont affect your system. | 08:27 |
| Cheaziz | I am back, with a question... | 08:27 |
| Cheaziz | Does Adobe Illustrator CS2 install and run in Wine (Ubuntu 7.10 - Gutsy)? | 08:28 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Cheaziz, check the WineHQ database | 08:28 |
| spowers | Flannel: i upgraded a machine once from dapper to edgy with no u-d installed, or no xubuntu-desktop or anything else for that matter and the upgrade went poorly. something to do with update-manager's upgrade hacks | 08:28 |
| Cheaziz | Jewfro-Macabbi, Can you give me the URL for that database, please? | 08:29 |
| spowers | bullgard4: i don't use openoffice and it's huge. anyway, i'll figure it out, thanks | 08:29 |
| Jewfro-Macabbi | Cheaziz, I don't have that handy sorry - google is your friend | 08:29 |
| foo-nix | I am using esd as a sound server, at least this is the way It is set up in the propperties of the System>Preferences>Sound settings page. On the contary I have no sound, it worked yesterday using esd, but a huge crash forced me to reboot my computer the hard way, since then sound fails. I have two cards, one onboard, one pc -- the one I want to use. | 08:29 |
| Cheaziz | ok, brb | 08:29 |
| Flannel | spowers: You need u-d to properly upgrade, but update-manager (had you used that) would've taken care of it. | 08:29 |
| Flannel | spowers: The update will go just as poorly with just installing regular packages, so you're really not changing the situation | 08:30 |
| spowers | k | 08:30 |
| Affening | bonjour !! | 08:30 |
| bullgard4 | spowers: Using Synaptic, it will not be difficult to grab individual packages. | 08:30 |
| spowers | another question, is there a no-x version of update-manager? | 08:30 |
| doug_ | please anyone mind i am on a desktop and have to use ethernet and am sitting on the living room floor trying to get this wifi going but no luck | 08:31 |
| Affening | est ce quil y a un serveur francais? | 08:31 |
| foo-nix | !fr | 08:31 |
| ubotu | Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 08:31 |
| bullgard4 | spowers: Yes. there is. | 08:31 |
| Flannel | spowers: There is as of either feisty or gutsy. | 08:31 |
| spowers | cool | 08:31 |
| Flannel | spowers: although, personally, I don't really see a need for it. But thats just me. | 08:31 |
| foo-nix | Could someone help me go through my sound settings? | 08:32 |
| spowers | Flannel: well, i could always install xlibs on my servers and do it that way... my take is that either you need update-manager to do a /proper/ upgrade, or you just apt-get upgrade and pray that it doesn't rain | 08:32 |
| Gnine | !fr | Affening | 08:32 |
| ubotu | Affening: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 08:32 |
| Gnine | yah. that | 08:32 |
| Affening | oui j'y suis | 08:32 |
| Affening | merci ! | 08:32 |
| nemilar | i love french | 08:33 |
| Gnine | you love english more | 08:33 |
| speeddemon8803 | me too...just dont know much of it...thankfully we have different channels for that ;) | 08:33 |
| Flannel | spowers: The only magic voodoo update-manager does is verify that you have the proper metapackages installed, and disable any third party repos. And when doing that sort of upgrade, you use dist-upgrade (one of the uses of it) not just regular upgrade (regular upgrade will cause problems) | 08:33 |
| Cheaziz | Another question... Are Windows applications running under Wine installed as if on a Windows box? | 08:34 |
| foo-nix | speeddemon8803: Arn't you a song of Micheal jackson? | 08:34 |
| spowers | yeah, i meant dist-upgrade. always worked ok on debian for me. | 08:34 |
| Flannel | Cheaziz: yes. With the C drive being located in ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 08:34 |
| speeddemon8803 | not that i am aware of | 08:34 |
| speeddemon8803 | im no thriller | 08:34 |
| spowers | ok, yet another thing.. is there any difference any more behind the dep resolution logic of synaptic/aptitude/apt-get anymore, or have they become the same again | 08:34 |
| Cheaziz | Flanger, so you mean I can actually RUN the installer (*.exe) file, and it will work? | 08:35 |
| Gnine | technically , yes, Cheaziz ... but keep in mind that linux is not windows | 08:35 |
| Flannel | Cheaziz: If you run them via wine, yeah. | 08:35 |
| Cheaziz | Gnine, LOL | 08:35 |
| speeddemon8803 | Wine=Windows IS NOT Exact.....ly bugproof | 08:35 |
| Cheaziz | Flannel, I just got a report from WineHQ, that Adobe Illustrator CS2 doesnt work in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy - Wine. LOL | 08:35 |
| DreamLnr | how do i install my hp dv6000 nvidia driuvers on gutsy? | 08:36 |
| Flannel | Cheaziz: that isnt too surprising | 08:36 |
| Cheaziz | Flannel, LOL | 08:36 |
| Cheaziz | There is an alternative, sk1, but it is not a full release yet. BUMMER! | 08:36 |
| elbermungsterses | i have a problem with one of my themes. can anyone help? | 08:36 |
| foo-nix | the ubuntu online documentation has no such thread about configuring ones sound. | 08:37 |
| foo-nix | I mean, fail! | 08:37 |
| Cheaziz | Does this mean I have to install a WinXP O/S on my unpartitioned space? I really thought I could ESCAPE from Windows! | 08:37 |
| doug_ | can someone help me set up wifi with a usb lynksys please | 08:37 |

| ubotu | foo-nix: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| snorkel | can someone recommend a linux compatible printer I can get for cheap from walmart? | 08:41 |
| nemilar | snorkel: check out www.linuxprinting.org | 08:41 |
| nemilar | snorkel: your best bet is an HP or Epson. avoid lexmark at all costs; but check that database before you buy. | 08:42 |
| Arelis | This guide works great for Feisty Fawn 7.04. Do NOT follow this guide for Gutsy Gibbon 7.10 since Xgl framework has changed dramatically. <-- Does this mean i shouldn't install XGL? | 08:42 |
| spowers | snorkel: i don't know about walmart, but i bought a brother 5140 and it works very well over usb with my debian system -- would only be better with ubuntu. and always look at linuxprinting.org first as suggested above :) | 08:42 |
| Cheaziz | snorkel, Ubuntu 7.10 is compatible with pretty much all printers... so far I havent had problems installing printers... | 08:42 |
| Cheaziz | Unlike with Windows! LOL | 08:42 |
| nemilar | Cheaziz: that's not true | 08:42 |
| nemilar | Cheaziz: loads and loads of printers are useless to linux | 08:43 |
| soldats | i dont believe lexmark is fully supporte | 08:43 |
| Cheaziz | nemilar, OH? | 08:43 |
| soldats | d | 08:43 |
| nemilar | yeah, most lexmark printers are paper-weights when it comes to linux | 08:43 |
| nemilar | they're win-printers, like winmodems | 08:43 |
| snorkel | yeah I wasn't able to get the wifi lexmark working | 08:43 |
| Cheaziz | nemilar, Well, my new Canon PIXMA 5200 worked just fine... zero-config... | 08:43 |
| brizben | check your printer is supported before you buy it. | 08:43 |
| nemilar | yeah, exactly, brizben | 08:43 |

| L3ttuc3 | in network manager, when i disable networking, it does not prevent my wifi connection from working. also, when i disable wifi in my laptop by pressing the Fn + wifi key, nothing happens. why is that, and how can i enable appropriate behaviour? | 08:45 |
| nemilar | :( no clue about the wifi | 08:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | the topic clearly states use pastebin..... | 08:45 |

| L3ttuc3 | how do i restore proper network activity after i use ifconfig ath0 up? | 08:46 |
| nemilar | b/c nautilus is junk, like most linux software | 08:46 |
| L3ttuc3 | nemilar what would you recommend using? | 08:47 |
| foo-nux | Amarok says: "Xine was unable to load any audio drivers", and I get no sound, anyone has an idea what it means -- no captain obvious talk please :) | 08:47 |
| nemilar | L3ttuc3: I don't have an answer for that one :( not much experience with wifi in linux | 08:47 |
| L3ttuc3 | nemilar no, i was talking about nautilus; what would be your alternative? | 08:47 |
| soldats | thunar? | 08:47 |
| nemilar | thunar is pretty nice | 08:47 |
| nemilar | I don't think it's nautilus that's causing the problem for me right now, though.... I'm pretty sure it's GnomeVFS | 08:48 |
| L3ttuc3 | eh. you said software for linux is crap. isnt thunar also linux? | 08:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | wouldnt removing nautilus break ubuntu? | 08:48 |

| JViz | do i have to create another partition every time i want to grow an existing lvm volume group on a drive with unpartitioned space? or can i just grow the partition somehow? | 08:49 |

| doug_ | i have a lynksys usb wifi with model number WUSB54GSC i need help getting it going please | 08:50 |

| * Gnine uses wired only so far | 08:53 | |

| spowers | what's the proper way to add a mirror to the sources.list? I normally vi /etc/apt/sources.list and %s/us.archive.ubuntu.com/<my favorite mirror>/g -- but that moves everything to third party sources. What I'm wondering about is if there's a proper way to add my mirror to the list so synaptic and "Software Sources" don't think of all of the "normal" stuff as third party just because it's at my mirror | 08:58 |
| soldats | jones20992: do /nick <nickname> | 08:59 |
| L3ttuc3 | arabiannights eh i was just wondering. i've got an ati card. last time i tried linux with nvidia was in 2000. | 08:59 |

| akuma | hey guys, i was wondering what makes this distribution so popular? | 09:00 |
| arabiannights | L3ttuc3 which linux was that? | 09:00 |
| nemilar | man I had to reboot :( | 09:00 |
| soldats | supports almost everything and by far has the best community support (at the right hours though) akuma | 09:01 |
| L3ttuc3 | arabiannights debian. in 2000. don't remember the version number. | 09:01 |
| Dr_willis | akuma, the tech support channels. :) | 09:01 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, do you think you can help me if i need help in setting it up? if not it is ok | 09:01 |
| nemilar | soldats: I hope you didn't just say that linux supports almost everything ;) | 09:01 |
| soldats | did you read what i wrote | 09:01 |
| nemilar | I didn't see what it was in response to | 09:02 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ no, not really, i really had to tinker around before i managed to get my atheros card working. and i had to go the ndiswrapper way. | 09:02 |
| nemilar | had to reboot, because nautilus crashed and wouldn't restart | 09:02 |
| VvWolverinevV | hi, is there any way to manually set the default version of java on your system (as reported by java -version)? | 09:02 |
| soldats | IMO ubuntu supports pretty much most standard hardware | 09:02 |
| BiGLiPS | hey friends, i just got a fresh install of LAMP going on in ubuntu.. seems like if i wanna edit my htdocs in the folder /var/www/ i have to be root.. is this normal? isnt it more secure to somehow just edit htdocs as a normal user? | 09:02 |
| nemilar | VvWolverinevV: yeah there def. is, I think it's in the java docs | 09:02 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, check the !java factoid it tells ya how | 09:02 |
| nemilar | !java | VvWolverinevV | 09:02 |
| ubotu | VvWolverinevV: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 09:02 |
| akuma | soldats: Dr_willis: awesome because im building a new machine and kind of curious on what distro to put on it | 09:02 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, how do i cd to the folder on my desktop? | 09:03 |
| akuma | is Ubuntu built like Gentoo, or Sabayon, with using Portage? | 09:03 |
| nemilar | soldats: linux definitely has poor hardware support | 09:03 |
| nemilar | as compared to, I donno, Windows | 09:03 |
| Dr_willis | akuma, ubuntu is debian based | 09:03 |
| nemilar | akuma: it's based on debian, which means it uses Apt | 09:03 |
| Ayabara | anyone got a tip for a nice compact theme that gives me a lot of screen real-estate? meaning slim, but still nice and readable window title bars and such | 09:03 |
| rsk | nemilar: not poor really. | 09:03 |
| rsk | nemilar: more like not as rapid with drivers for bleeding edge hardware. | 09:04 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ umm, folders and filenames are case-sensitive in linux. if you open up a terminal, it'll take you to your home folder by default. go get to the desktop you would use 'cd Desktop' minus the quotes. | 09:04 |
| nemilar | rsk: more like a huge list of hardware that will never work | 09:04 |
| akuma | ah ok | 09:04 |
| akuma | apt-get isnt that bad | 09:04 |
| nemilar | rsk: many: wifi cards, webcams, printers... | 09:04 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ you get name completion by pressing tab. if you have more than one possible choise, pressing tab twice will list them. | 09:04 |
| akuma | i've been so addicted to Emerge, i love how its built | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, I have a lot of old hardware thats not supported in Vista.. but is in linux.. So from my point of view linux has BETTER hardware support. | 09:04 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: old hardware? | 09:04 |
| Dr_willis | Dont blame linux becuase the companies making the hardware are being cheap. | 09:05 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, old scanners and so forth. | 09:05 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, thank you | 09:05 |
| nemilar | I'm not blaming linux, and it's not that the companies are being cheap | 09:05 |
| nemilar | They're developing their drivers for Windows, because that's what people use. | 09:05 |
| Dr_willis | Vista disabled half the features of my all-in-one printer-scanner compared to xp. | 09:05 |
| mevetski | hello | 09:05 |
| nemilar | Well Vista is a beast in its own right | 09:05 |
| soldats | plus linux community actually cares if stuff is supported and tries to make everything the best they can | 09:05 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, the point is that if they just rleased the specs then there plenty of people who would make the drivers for them. | 09:06 |
| nemilar | soldats: yeah, but that's because the community is the only one doing any driver-writing in the first place, with rare exception | 09:06 |
| Dr_willis | But its getting better all the time. | 09:06 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: yes, this is true. | 09:06 |
| mevetski | i am trying to install nvidia drivers on my ubuntu | 09:06 |
| arabiannights | how is Hardy Heron release going? | 09:06 |
| Dr_willis | arabiannights, seems tobe on schedule. :) | 09:06 |
| mevetski | i found a step-by-step guide that requires me to install envy; but i can't find this envy in Synaptic Package Manager | 09:06 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: those that do release their specs get great support; those that don't either get iffy support (Reverse-Engineered) if they're very popular, or no support at all | 09:06 |
| arabiannights | Dr-willis i mean the beta? | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | mevetski, you dont want or need envy in most cases. | 09:07 |
| soldats | !envy > mevetski | 09:07 |
| mevetski | ah. I was told it was the easiest way to install the drivers | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, or they do like creative did.. and totally screw up with their x-fi cards. | 09:07 |
| nemilar | arabiannights: the alpha was a day late... | 09:07 |
| Dr_willis | arabiannights, check #ubuntu+1 | 09:07 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: basically, the point is that, if you're buying a printer for windows, you don't have to go to www.windowsprinting.org first to see if it'll even print ;) | 09:08 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, it pays to do research. it always has. | 09:08 |
| spowers | anyone know where the "Software Sources" control panel's list of mirrors is kept? | 09:08 |
| nemilar | the very lack of a windowsprinting.org (I'm assuming) is the point I'm making | 09:08 |
| arabiannights | nemillar what would be the difference between final rease and this beta realse? | 09:08 |
| nemilar | arabiannights: it's not a beta right now, it's an alpha | 09:08 |
| nemilar | arabiannights: right now it is full of bugs, and shouldn't be used on any system that you don't feel comfortable having to completely reformat | 09:09 |
| arabiannights | nemillar whatś the difference? | 09:09 |
| Dr_willis | Ive never had to download a 128mb printer driver file for linux either. :) like i had to for my HP printer under windows. | 09:09 |
| Hali_303 | hi! where can I find a tutorial on how to build a custom ubuntu kernel? the linux-source package contains the ubuntu kernel sources or the vanilla one? | 09:09 |
| Dr_willis | I will stick with Linux for my needs. | 09:09 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: HP has exceptional Linux support, and therefore I buy HP | 09:09 |
| mevetski | the restricted driver manager drivers don't seem to work well | 09:09 |
| VvWolverinevV | nemilar: Dr_willis: that's much easier! i had been editing runLime.sh to get limewire to work, haha | 09:09 |
| mevetski | i can't change my refresh rate, for example, or enable compiz | 09:10 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, canon sucks at it. :) so i will never buy a canon again.. (well not without doign research first) heh.. | 09:10 |
| BiGLiPS | the only thing that linux lacks is gaming support.. everything else is good | 09:10 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: but, my point still stands. All hardware works on Windows; much hardware does not work on Linux; therefore, Windows has better hardware support than Linux. | 09:10 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, check out frostwire :) and Yes both those tools need the actual sun java to work. | 09:10 |
| brandonc503 | anyone know why my images on local machine wont show in firefox unless i put in exact address? | 09:10 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: yeah, you learn which companies to steer away from | 09:10 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: that's the way it works ;) | 09:11 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: if you want to create a gallery, there are programs that do that | 09:11 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar: are you serious, ? | 09:11 |
| Dr_willis | nemilar, not all hardware works on windows any more. I have some that is no longer supported. I recall the exact same thing happening with windows 95 to XP. I had several scanners that became useless. | 09:11 |
| nemilar | Dr_willis: Vista is the exception...Vista is a terrible POS. But they'll work out the bugs, in due time. | 09:11 |
| Dr_willis | windows has better 'company' support by the hardware makers. | 09:11 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar firefox do this on purpus? | 09:11 |
| VvWolverinevV | Dr_willis: i imagine a lot of people are having problems with that because installation of icedtea through firefox takes the default away from the sun versions | 09:11 |
| === glt is now known as coffeetom | ||
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, i had to install icedtea to get miro working the other day | 09:12 |
| === coffeetom is now known as coffeeTom | ||
| nemilar | brandonc503: in order for firefox to show you a gallery, it would have to generate its own HTML file, thumbnail all the images, etc etc | 09:12 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: that's not what a web browser does. | 09:12 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, not noticed that breaking limewire. | 09:12 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: if you're just browsing your images, use gThumb or F-spot, or even Nautilus | 09:12 |
| VvWolverinevV | Dr_willis: have you run limewire today? | 09:12 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, not ran it in weeks. :) | 09:12 |
| VvWolverinevV | Dr_willis: try it | 09:13 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar so your saying i cant <img src="file:///anything"> just wana make sure | 09:13 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, plus i use frostwire. Not limewire. :) | 09:13 |
| Arelis | Guys, is it safe to install XGL on Ubuntu with an ATI Radeon 9600 and the propietary ATI drivers? | 09:13 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: oh... no, uhm... that you can do. | 09:13 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: You're writing an HTML file? | 09:13 |
| VvWolverinevV | Dr_willis: it's based on limewire, it would break both | 09:13 |
| brandonc503 | its not working, but i click on it and copy location and past it in address book it works | 09:13 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: try img src="/home/username/etc/etc" | 09:14 |
| doug_ | ok anyone ever setup a usb wifi? | 09:14 |

| ubotu | Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 09:14 |
| marckie | can somebody help me pls? | 09:14 |
| nemilar | !ask | marckie | 09:14 |
| ubotu | marckie: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 09:14 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, one reason to avoide those 2 apps. :) heh | 09:15 |
| Dr_willis | VvWolverinevV, and it does seem broke. but it looks like i am using the sun java | 09:15 |
| marckie | i have a partition in my desktop wherein the owner is root | 09:15 |
| shishirmk | tomcat help | 09:15 |
| brandonc503 | via apache | 09:15 |
| nemilar | marckie: following you so far | 09:15 |
| marckie | i want it to be changed to my user account so i can use it in virtual box | 09:15 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar via apache | 09:15 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: in that case, you'll have to put the images in your www directory, to start with | 09:15 |
| marckie | i mean i want to change its access to have r/rw | 09:15 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar did that | 09:16 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: and don't use file:///, that's totally wrong... just use img src="/images/whatever.jpg" or whatever | 09:16 |
| VvWolverinevV | Dr_willis: read the error messages carefully, it reports 1.2 as too old, and then finds icedtea (which doesn't work) | 09:16 |
| marckie | nemilar: sorry for that... | 09:16 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, you there? | 09:16 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: that would be if your images are in /var/www/images | 09:16 |
| === boris_ is now known as snipex77 | ||
| marckie | anyways, i already tried chown -hR | 09:16 |
| max__ | non funziona il plug in flash player | 09:16 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar k but my machine is not online know.. web pages show up but the pictures dont | 09:16 |
| nemilar | marckie: can you write to it with root? | 09:16 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ yeah, sort of. | 09:16 |
| nemilar | marckie: what's the filesystem time? | 09:17 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: you're not doing the src="path" right. | 09:17 |
| marckie | nemilar: its ntfs | 09:17 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, i can not find these two files think you can help me? usb8023.sys & rndismp.sys | 09:17 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: this isn't an HTML help channel, though | 09:17 |
| nemilar | marckie: install ntfs-config and enable reading/writing for your drive | 09:17 |
| marckie | and i can read write with it | 09:17 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ that looks like windows type drivers? | 09:17 |
| Daz9 | Is anyone good with PCs here? | 09:17 |
| marckie | its just that i cant access it in virtualbox | 09:17 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar i do have the src right cause i go to the source after loads and paste src into address and it works | 09:17 |
| nemilar | marckie: you'll probably have to unmount/remount after you enable write settings in ntfs-config | 09:17 |
| nemilar | marckie: ahh okay | 09:18 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar just wont work onload | 09:18 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, yes i need those two and the one from the wifi cd | 09:18 |
| nemilar | brandonc503: no, you have it wrong... you are not putting the src tag correct relative to the page being served. | 09:18 |
| brandonc503 | well i guess i wana view local image via web page | 09:18 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ i'd recommend downloading the official drivers from linksys. it'd be bound to have a .inf file in there you can use with ndiswrapper. | 09:18 |
| nemilar | marckie: sad to say, I haven't used virtual box | 09:18 |
| marckie | i made it to be a shared folder in samba | 09:18 |
| Daz9 | OKay, anyone have any idea how I can turn off my HP pavillion dv6000 PC safe-ish, it's stuck on the log off screen and has been for 8 hours. | 09:19 |
| brandonc503 | nemilar so you can view your picture before you up load it basicly | 09:19 |

| Humble | I'm experiencing critical failure with xorg. I cannot even begin to list all of the trouble it's causing me. I think I'm using the wrong driver or something, but no matter how many times I dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and set the appropriate driver, it just keeps switching back to Vesa or whatever the it's called. While Ubuntu boots I can't see anything because it's attempting to display in a display mode my monitor cannot display, and then | 09:23 |
| nemilar | Daz9: now for the magic key combos.... | 09:23 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ im kind of going to be in and out, and to be honest, i don't know all that much, just have some pointers about where you might want to look for solutions. | 09:23 |

| BruceLeroy | Has anyone got hibernate or suspend to work on their laptop? | 09:32 |
| travis_ | newbie1: man fsck | 09:32 |
| Seveas | newbie1, you can only check partitions with it, for example: fsck /dev/sda1 | 09:32 |
| Nubbie | hi guys, i'm having some problems with python and fuse (specifically flickrfs), if somebody could have a look at this: http://pastebin.ca/889918 , i would be very greatful. I'm no good with python at all. | 09:32 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, it sayes i do | 09:32 |
| nemilar | BruceLeroy: dude, I just suspended my _desktop_ and had to reboot because everything broke | 09:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ then i really don't know. sorry. | 09:32 |
| doug_ | L3 on this site http://www.paulie-pages.com/?tag=gutsy | 09:32 |
| nemilar | BruceLeroy: suspend/hibernate support should be getting better though, real soon now | 09:33 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, on this site http://www.paulie-pages.com/?tag=gutsy | 09:33 |
| Nubbie | BruceLeroy, i'm using purely intel hardware, CPU and graphics, i have no issues at all sleeping or hibernating. | 09:33 |
| * travis_ prays for flawless suspend | 09:33 | |
| Nubbie | BruceLeroy: one quick question: how big is your swap? | 09:33 |
| BruceLeroy | Nubbie : swap is 360 | 09:34 |
| Nubbie | BruceLeroy, megabytes? | 09:34 |
| newbie1 | o/dev/sda1: clean, 109303/30195712 files, 1624301/60388327 blocks | 09:34 |
| BruceLeroy | Yes | 09:34 |
| Nubbie | BruceLeroy, how much memory do you have? | 09:34 |
| Daz2 | Bah, Nem, that didn't work. | 09:34 |
| nemilar | Daz2: pull the power cord and let the battery drain? | 09:34 |
| Nubbie | ermm sorry for tab pwning all of you "br" people. | 09:35 |
| Nubbie | i dunno how that happened. | 09:35 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ i dont know, just follow his instructions, there are links on the site to those files you need. trust at your own peril though. | 09:35 |
| BruceLeroy | Nubbie : yes | 09:35 |
| newbie1 | does fsck repair problem or just check the block? | 09:35 |
| Daz2 | That's what I've been letting it do allnight. :\ | 09:35 |
| Nubbie | BruceLeroy, how much RAM.. | 09:35 |
| === snipex77 is now known as boris- | ||
| Daz2 | Any more shortcuts that might help? :\ | 09:36 |
| BruceLeroy | Nubbie : I think 1.5 GB | 09:36 |
| doug_ | L3ttuc3, how do i cd to a folder on my desktop called untitled folder? | 09:37 |
| L3ttuc3 | doug_ | 09:37 |
| BruceLeroy | Sleep, puts my laptop to sleep, but I can't wait it back up. | 09:37 |
| L3ttuc3 | er doug_ cd untitled, then press tab. or 'cd untitled\ folder'. | 09:38 |
| Nubbie | BruceLeroy: you should have at least 1.5gb of swap then, i'd recommend doubling that to 3GB swap. otherwise hibernation will NEVER work for you. | 09:38 |
| BruceLeroy | Nubbie : that make sense. Thanks, I'll try that. | 09:38 |
| Daz2 | Back in a bit. | 09:38 |
| nemilar | Daz2: I doubt it will cause any hardware damage..and the filesystem should remain in tact just fine | 09:39 |

| dhanar10 | bullgard4, which first line? | 10:07 |
| chraso | nope | 10:08 |
| nemilar | chraso: that will generate it for you | 10:08 |
| nemilar | then run grub-install | 10:08 |
| chraso | will it overwrite current? | 10:08 |
| nemilar | prolly | 10:08 |
| eagle-101 | latest wine should be wine-0.9.54. | 10:08 |
| travis_ | Where would the background color setting be? The one that is shown before the desktop is drawn? While everything is waiting for x? | 10:08 |
| fnx | Frogzoo: I'm positve its the absolute latest stable version. I just know how to fix the alsa mixer problem. Wine says it can't find the right "master control" for my card | 10:08 |
| chraso | ok thanx for the help will try. | 10:08 |
| eagle-101 | (that is the latest that I see in portage anyway) | 10:08 |
| chraso | have to reboot to try. | 10:08 |
| fnx | Frogzoo: *don't know | 10:08 |
| nemilar | travis_: good question... | 10:08 |
| bullgard4 | dhanar10: The first line is in blue. I guess that is designated 'Tracker Search' or similar in English. | 10:08 |
| Frogzoo | fnx: well try wine_0.9.54~winehq0~ubuntu~7.10-1_i386.deb | 10:09 |

| chraso | wait a minute | 10:09 |
| * travis_ doesn't like human-color | 10:09 | |
| nemilar | travis_: you'd have to ask a hard-core kernel-hacker type about that one | 10:09 |
| chraso | can i run that command from a install cdrom? | 10:09 |
| avis | did you see the grub-install part chraso ? | 10:09 |
| nemilar | travis_: you mean the white-on-black text that scrolls by as linux boots? | 10:09 |
| nemilar | avis: oh I sure hope so | 10:09 |
| chraso | yes i tried to install from that but it says no devices exits | 10:10 |
| fnx | Frogzoo: thanks for the help. gotta go | 10:10 |
| nemilar | chraso: you have to chroot to your hdd | 10:10 |
| nemilar | I..think | 10:10 |
| chraso | done that and tried | 10:10 |
| nemilar | you have a /boot folder or partition right ? | 10:10 |
| nemilar | What is the exact nature of your problem | 10:11 |
| chraso | it says not available | 10:11 |
| qinjuehang | trevis: It is in one of the config files, let me try to find | 10:12 |
| qinjuehang | Mine is black | 10:12 |
| Slart | travis_: if you find out.. let us know... there are so many people that want to change that one | 10:12 |
| travis_ | nemilar: sorry, no. After login, I see human colors, then my default. | 10:12 |
| nemilar | travis_: oh | 10:12 |
| qinjuehang | all: its easy to change, in a startup script | 10:12 |
| nemilar | travis_: you can just change that in the login window control panel | 10:12 |
| Slart | nemilar: nope.. | 10:12 |
| qinjuehang | nope | 10:12 |
| travis_ | nemilar: I tried | 10:12 |
| doug_ | how do i install fusion for gutsy? | 10:12 |
| nemilar | what do you guys mean, no | 10:13 |
| Slart | nemilar: it's the colour *before* any of the theme settings kick in | 10:13 |
| nemilar | Slart: it's a GDM theme | 10:13 |
| chraso | good bye thanks | 10:13 |
| doug_ | nemilar, thanks for your help but at this point i will get a long ethernet cord | 10:13 |
| qinjuehang | nemilar: NO!!! | 10:13 |
| nemilar | YES!!! the login screen is a GDM theme! | 10:13 |
| Slart | nemilar: just try changing it yourself.. that's what we've done.. it doesn't work | 10:13 |
| qinjuehang | nemilar: oh you mean that... | 10:13 |
| nemilar | wait | 10:14 |
| doug_ | how do i install fusion? | 10:14 |
| qinjuehang | but the colors are not | 10:14 |
| nemilar | what are _you_ guys talking about | 10:14 |
| travis_ | I'm glad I'm not the only one... | 10:14 |
| avis | doug_, compiz is installed by default. make sure you run the restricted driver for your nvidia/ati card then go into system-preferences-appearance | 10:14 |
| DiploCat | I think nemilar has it right | 10:14 |
| tristan_ | it | 10:14 |
| qinjuehang | neminar: The brown color behind the splash thinggy | 10:14 |
| Slart | nemilar: when ubuntu boots up there is a flash of ubuntu-orange brown .. then you get the login screen | 10:14 |
| nemilar | Slart: I use a different GDM theme, I don't think I've seen any orange-brown flashes of light | 10:15 |
| dajero | doug_: What make is your graphics card? | 10:15 |
| nemilar | just the blue one of my theme | 10:15 |
| Slart | nemilar: you're lucky then =) | 10:15 |
| doug_ | dajero, nvidia geforce | 10:15 |
| nemilar | yeah I have super ugly-color-flash-skipping abilities | 10:15 |
| qinjuehang | neminar its part of gdm.conf, unless ur theme changed the config file... | 10:15 |
| Slart | nemilar: it only lasts for about half a second or so | 10:15 |
| dajero | doug_: Then as avis said installing the restricted driver should do the trick | 10:15 |
| * Slart checks gdm.conf | 10:15 | |
| nemilar | Slart: yeah there's a good chance it does that and I just haven't noticed it | 10:16 |
| qinjuehang | Slart: for 5 seconds on my P4 computer | 10:16 |
| L3ttuc3 | nemilar Slart travis_ i use a different gdm theme too, circles. however between actually login on (pressing enter) and gnome kicking in, there is a flash of skin-coloured human-themed blank screen that lasts for about 2 seconds. i've been trying to get rid of it too. | 10:16 |
| Slart | ouch. =) | 10:16 |
| dajero | doug_: Use System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager to enable the restricted driver | 10:16 |
| nemilar | lol, ok so L3ttuc3 is talking about something completely different than what we're talking about | 10:16 |
| L3ttuc3 | nemilar no, it's the same thing. | 10:17 |
| DiploCat | after GDM login or before? | 10:17 |
| nemilar | L3ttuc3: we're talking about before gdm finishes loading | 10:17 |
| * Slart is talking about what L3ttuc3 is talking about | 10:17 | |
| nemilar | you're talking about before metacity finishes loading | 10:17 |
| dajero | doug_: Then after a reboot, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects to enable them | 10:17 |
| * travis_ is too | 10:17 | |
| nemilar | Slart: L3ttuc3 is talking about after login | 10:17 |
| L3ttuc3 | nemilar no, i think you got it wrong. | 10:17 |
| doug_ | dajero, it is enabled | 10:17 |
| qinjuehang | Slart: Oh wait sorry I remembered the wrong config file... | 10:17 |
| nemilar | L3ttuc3: you're talking about after you login, but before your desktop is finished loading, right? | 10:17 |
| doug_ | dajero, thanks i found it | 10:18 |
| dajero | doug_: np, what was it? | 10:18 |
| travis_ | nemilar: I am too | 10:18 |
| Slart | ok.. I'm going to boot up my laptop and see what that colour thingy is | 10:18 |
| doug_ | dajero, i just was not looking in the wrong spot | 10:18 |
| L3ttuc3 | nemilar: x loads --> gdm loads --> circles theme --> type username --> type password, press enter --> ugly skin-coloured human themed crap blank screen --> metacity. | 10:18 |
| elbermungsterses | i got a problem, my window border won't change when i apply the "aero-clone" theme from gnome-look. can anyone please help me? | 10:18 |
| nemilar | travis_: ahh I see... If I wasn't completely mistaken, Slart and I were just talking about what happens before GDM is finished loading | 10:18 |
| dajero | doug_: Okay then, enjoy the eye candy ;) | 10:19 |
| nemilar | L3ttuc3: yes I understand the point you're talking about | 10:19 |
| sunseeker888 | <nemilar> my firefox work start up? an idea | 10:19 |
| nemilar | sunseeker888: run it in a terminal, see what the error message is | 10:19 |
| L3ttuc3 | and no amount of changing colour settings in 'login screens' gets rid of it. | 10:19 |
| qinjuehang | nemilar: Isn't that *AFTER* | 10:19 |
| avis | elbermungsterses, it probably didn't take effect. go into system administration appearance into customize theme to make sure its selected | 10:19 |
| qinjuehang | there is nothning except usplash before gdm for me | 10:19 |
| sunseeker888 | nemilar , what the command for firefox in terminal? I am really new on linux | 10:19 |
| nemilar | qinjuehang: we were talking about two different things... one splash of ugly color before GDM is themed, and another splash of ugly color before metacity is themed | 10:20 |
| nemilar | sunseeker888: firefox | 10:20 |
| Slart | ok.. my bad.. after the login | 10:20 |
| travis_ | Problem: ugly colors | 10:20 |
| wers | how can I make tracker search for hidden files? is there a better way to search for hidden files/ | 10:20 |
| nemilar | qinjuehang: yeah I don't _think_ I get any ugly color before GDM finishes theming, but to be honest I am not really sure | 10:20 |
| qinjuehang | sunseeker: If need to kill it, them firefox-bin | 10:20 |

| ubotu | qinjuehang, L3ttuc3: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 10:23 |

| dajero | doug_: You can adjust the number of virtual desktops by right clicking on the bottom left of your screen where there should be some kind of small oversight of all your virtual desktops | 10:24 |

| qinjuehang | nemilar: Depends. If you want more flexibility, open office is the way to go. If you need eye-candy, go for MS-office | 10:30 |
| nemilar | qinjuehang: nah yo, MS office isn't about the eye candy | 10:30 |
| nemilar | Ms Office has features OO.o doesn't have | 10:30 |
| vishnu | yes it not eye candy | 10:31 |
| nemilar | that's just a fact | 10:31 |
| qinjuehang | nemilar: Such as...? | 10:31 |
| Slart | qinjuehang: if they could only fix the spelling in open office.. for Swedish, that is | 10:31 |
| nemilar | qinjuehang: I donno, I don't use those features | 10:31 |
| nemilar | qinjuehang: but if you search on the web I'm sure you'll find plenty of lists | 10:31 |
| qinjuehang | Slart: Oh...I only use english and chinese, so I don't know. | 10:31 |
| L3ttuc3 | qinjuehang i have read that ms office handles bigger documents better than openoffice does. | 10:31 |

| valefly | if i do ifdown wlan0 i get ifdown: interface wlan0 not configured | 10:32 |
| valefly | what can i do now? | 10:32 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: I'd say the opposite.. I stopped using word because it would just die when I used to many symbols and stuff. (mostly math) | 10:32 |
| DiploCat | valefly, ifup wlan0 | 10:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | qinjuehang that should not affect anything while you're viewing an open file. | 10:32 |
| avis | valefly, that has happened to me when i had a missing or incomplete /etc/network/interfaces | 10:32 |
| qinjuehang | Slart: I use OO cuz math is SO much easier to type, esp. if u are teh programming type | 10:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | Slart i dont know, the guy who was writing that article was talking about 'book-sized documents'. | 10:32 |
| mitchells00 | i'm looking for a replacement for schoolbooks, office suite's are for drafts, presentations, anything to do with money etc, i'm not interested in those things, what i really need is a program that acts exactly like a schoolbook would, enabling me to insert diagrams, and especially formula's and equasions exactly as they are written on the board including carry numbers and crossing out numbers (in a downwards stroke) withou | 10:33 |

| nemilar | I had a 500+ page document that I wanted to break into 2 columns...I loaded into OO.o, which took forever, btw... then I set two columns, and it was taking soooooooo long that I just killed it. I must have waited over half an hour. | 10:33 |
| valefly | avis: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. | 10:33 |

| L3ttuc3 | qinjuehang what msoffice or openoffice? | 10:33 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: yes.. I don't know how many times students would come crying because word just died on their last year paper.. and those were only about 80 pages or so | 10:33 |
| avis | valefly, hmm. i think i may have tried the same with wifi0 when i had an existing ath0 that did work | 10:33 |
| nemilar | mitchells00: you're looking for Latex, but it'll take you some time to learn | 10:33 |

| L3ttuc3 | i had problems with abiword rendering fonts correctly. | 10:34 |
| nemilar | yeah, abiword has ugly fonts | 10:34 |
| Slart | mitchells00: I still say Latex.. there are editors that soften the blow for the newcomer | 10:34 |
| L3ttuc3 | i was using myriad pro, from adobe, and for some reason, it was displaying it halfwidth. | 10:34 |
| qinjuehang | Slart: Lemme grab synaptic and try it | 10:34 |
| doug_ | oh yes i forgot two more things very important | 10:34 |
| doug_ | how do i get read right to my vista? and have it mounted at all times? | 10:35 |

| Soulmage | What would i need to install to be able to use lzm2dir ? | 10:37 |
| qinjuehang | doug_: Why do you need it mounted on boot? you can always just double-click it afterwards | 10:37 |
| L3ttuc3 | ok... on a different note, does anyone know if there is a way of making .files and .folders (hidden) appear slightly shaded in nautilus so they are easier to differentiate from non-hidden items? | 10:37 |
| qinjuehang | L3ttuc3: Differenciate them by the full-stop? | 10:38 |
| doug_ | qinjuehang, no no i want the ntfs mounted onto my desktop | 10:38 |
| qinjuehang | doug_: The command for mounting is sudo mount sda1 assuming ur drive is called sda1 | 10:38 |
| L3ttuc3 | qinjuehang i do, but sometimes, it's easier on the eyes if they're shaded different, like in konqueror or thunar, neither of which im too keen on, though they have some interesting features. | 10:38 |
| qinjuehang | so u add it to startup programs | 10:39 |
| doug_ | qinjuehang, how do i make it where it is permanint and have read/write accress | 10:39 |
| qinjuehang | L3ttuc3: I use thunar half the time :) Xfce is my friend for OpenGl apps (Blender) | 10:39 |

| nemilar | Seveas: it was a chuckle of support | 10:40 |
| L3ttuc3 | qinjuehang which brings me to my other question. how do i get thunar to integrate into gnome? so that when i open a folder, it opens in thunar instead, and when i delete an object, it goes to thunar's trash, or alternately, that thunar adopts .Trash? | 10:40 |
| DiploCat | ubotu's a bit fascist about spelling :) | 10:41 |
| nemilar | is there a channel for NTFS-3g? | 10:41 |
| qinjuehang | L3ttuc3: I thing in gconf, you can set your default file-browser. But don't forget that your desktop is managed by nautilus, so... | 10:41 |
| L3ttuc3 | Seveas would you be as rigid about capitalisation too? | 10:41 |
| nemilar | whoa whoa | 10:41 |

| L3ttuc3 | qinjuehang that was exactly my point. | 10:42 |

| qinjuehang | L3ttuc3: Ok, I don't think Thunar can manage a desktop. But let me check | 10:43 |
| iveqy | hi, where do I set what sessions I can choose between in GDM using ubuntu? The /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions directory described in the gdm manual doesn't exist in ubuntu | 10:43 |

| L3ttuc3 | Seveas if you're going to enforce something like proper spelling of pronouns, wouldn't the same logic apply to capitalisation, etc? | 10:43 |
| qinjuehang | Nickste: *might* Assuming same so similar specs | 10:43 |
| rob1975au | but cannot access root... | 10:44 |

| L3ttuc3 | nemilar or the lack of punctuation? | 10:44 |
| nemilar | L3ttuc3: Hey, I used a comma. | 10:44 |
| qinjuehang | doug_: GO to preferenced, start-up programs | 10:45 |
| Seveas | L3ttuc3, the !u factoid is about keeping the channel understandable for non-native-english speakers, yes, same goes for punctuation. Capitalization doesn't necessari;y impact understandability, eXcePT wheN USeD lIKe ThiS | 10:45 |

| rob1975au | i need to put a file into /lib/firmware but is a root only location. how do i do? | 10:46 |
| L3ttuc3 | isn't it a bit harsh leaving the ban on so long? | 10:46 |
| qinjuehang | doug_: I don't know the *EXACT* name, I'm on Xfce now. | 10:47 |
| AlexQ | rob1975au: Use "sudo" command, eg. sudo cp ./source.bin /lib/firmware | 10:47 |
| doug_ | qinjuehang, ah ok thanks for your help i am sure it is hard to do when you do not know one of the other os that good | 10:47 |
| qinjuehang | rob1975au: For many small problems like this, Google is your friend | 10:47 |
| AlexQ | OK, so I will ask too: Nautilus crashes when I mouseover an sound file, eg. MP3 (the "easy-view" of an music, it should play when I mouseover). | 10:48 |
| Seveas | L3ttuc3, nemilar: and if you continue like this, you'll be banned as well. The operators set the guidelines. You're more than welcome to discuss those in #ubuntu-ops, but stop going offtopic in here | 10:48 |

| ^^MAg^^ | Epicenter: of course it is | 10:52 |
| Dr_willis | Epicenter, ive seen some distros that have some tricks to boot theirselfs that way. but ive never seen it done in a gernal way | 10:52 |

| L3ttuc3 | how can i make the ubuntu boot process more verbose, and take off the splash screen altogether? | 10:54 |

| Dr_willis | L3ttuc3, disable the framebuffer, use nosplash, and the verbose kernel options in menu.lst :) | 10:54 |

| cheesypieces | drebellion, i mean how do i enable moving it by dragging and dropping? | 10:55 |
| Soulmage | AlexQ, is it always the same file or any file? | 10:55 |
| Dr_willis | lollo, only tings installed with the package manager will show up in the package manager. Dependign on where you isntalled the game to. You just delete its files. | 10:55 |
| L3ttuc3 | woodsoul as far as i know, development has stopped on blackbox, fluxbox has some newer features, and is similar to blackbox. | 10:55 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, that's why you only see a /0 and not a /0 and a /1 | 10:55 |
| Soulmage | any sound file rather | 10:55 |
| woodsoul | Soulmage: yep i know, but blackbox isn't much "popular"... | 10:55 |
| Seveas | dennis@mirage:~$ ps aux | grep events | 10:55 |

| L3ttuc3 | ok thanks. | 10:55 |
| Seveas | bullgard4, this is on a dualcore system | 10:55 |
| AlexQ | Soulmage: any sound* file | 10:56 |
| Dr_willis | lollo, if you installed it to like your users home/games directory you cold just delete the install dir. | 10:56 |
| Soulmage | AlexQ, can you thinking of any thing you changed before it started happening? | 10:56 |
| avis | after editing menu.lst how do i commit the changes ? | 10:56 |
| Seveas | avis, by saving the file :) | 10:57 |
| Dr_willis | avis, save the file. :) and rerun update-grub | 10:57 |
| woodsoul | L3ttuc3: thx for info :) | 10:57 |
| Dr_willis | depending on the change. | 10:57 |
| Soulmage | Does any one know what i need to install to get the lzm2dir program? | 10:57 |

| ubotu | Package/file lzm2dir does not exist in gutsy | 10:57 |
| Dr_willis | never heard of that one. | 10:57 |
| doug_ | how do i change the themes i tried but it wont let me | 10:57 |
| L3ttuc3 | sorry, there was a link up there earlier that's gone off my x-chat buffer about the benefits of using gksudo instead of sudo for some commands, could someone please give me it? | 10:58 |
| avis | Dr_willis, uncommented the pretty colors and commented the "quiet splash" line | 10:58 |
| AlexQ | Soulmage: No, I can't recollect any reason... | 10:58 |
| Soulmage | its referenced beeing used on .lzm files | 10:58 |
| lollo | so, all the things of the installation are involved in the folder of the game ( i saved it in home ) .. is it the only way to uninstall the game ? is it the only right procedure Dr_willis ? thx ;) | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis | avis, you may want to use the options nofb nosplash verbose. | 10:58 |
| avis | thank you | 10:58 |
| Seveas | Soulmage, file-roller should be able to open them | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis | lollo, as far as i know. If your user isntalled then its all in your home somewhere. | 10:59 |
| Soulmage | AlexQ, try to go under the prefences for nautalis and turn off the preview for sound files | 10:59 |

I can start Xorg, but only in low graphic mode. please help | 11:01 |

| mutable | output is from dmesg|grep NVRM | 11:02 |
| Seveas | Soulmage, p7zip perhaps? | 11:02 |
| AlexQ | Dr_willis: I don't know, I didn't test all possible formats :D. | 11:02 |
| Dr_willis | mutable, the console being messed up. May be due to the framebuffer feature. You could disable the framebuffer in the menu.lst - as for the rest.... not sure. | 11:02 |
| === arthur37855 is now known as arthur37854 | ||
| Dr_willis | lollo, you rarely need to 'clean; the hard disk, everyting is in your users home dir.. or else they are system files. and you should leave those alone. | 11:03 |

| vonSmallhausen | How do I get beryl for ubuntu 7.10? | 11:11 |
| Dr_willis | aseeon, set up X to use the vesa driver - :) | 11:11 |
| Seveas | vonSmallhausen, you don't | 11:11 |
| Seveas | !beryl | vonSmallhausen | 11:12 |
| ubotu | vonSmallhausen: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 11:12 |
| jpatrick | !beryl | vonSmallhausen | 11:12 |
| Dr_willis | compiz-fusion has replaced beryl | 11:12 |
| aseeon | it was not working, ubuntu tried it itself | 11:12 |
| Dr_willis | aseeon, then you may have deeper problems. :) | 11:12 |
| AlexQ | avis: And when I play an timeline in kdenlive (video editor, I've got a Gnome...) it's also grayscale, but when I pause, it turns to colors :D. | 11:13 |

| algyz | hi, can't make sound card working on hp laptop, sound card is nvidia mcp51. There is sound with oss, but seems, that card is not found | 11:14 |
| * Dr_willis forcasts a reinstall for envy users in their near future. :0 | 11:14 | |
| aseeon | yeah right jpatric :) | 11:14 |
| ompaul | !sound | algyz | 11:14 |
| ubotu | algyz: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 11:14 |
| mutable | Dr_willis: please, i don't want to bother you, just help what i need to install to get nvidia module compiled against kernel version from repos? I tried "apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-386 nvidia-glx", but it's the same | 11:14 |
| lollo | sry the last question, is there a program like task manager in winzoz where i can find all the process running ? | 11:15 |
| algyz | No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or audio devices found | 11:15 |
| Seveas | mutable, for compiling kernel modules you need apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential | 11:15 |
| Dr_willis | mutable, i havent messed with that stuff - otther then by using the restricted-manager tool in ages, You may need the build-essential package also. | 11:15 |
| Seveas | lollo, system -> administration -> system monitor | 11:15 |
| lollo | yee thx | 11:16 |
| mutable | Seveas: and how do I build nvidia module from repos? | 11:16 |
| bitmonster | hi, can anyone help me: I cannot adjust the display settings (dual monitor), they are always reset to low resolution when I use System->Screens and graphics | 11:16 |
| AlexQ | Dr_willis: Yea, i now it's funny :D. And, when I rotate the cube in compiz-fusion, the video "frames", embeded are not rotating, xD. They're moving in the background, sth like that. | 11:16 |
| mutable | Dr_willis: ok, thank you very much | 11:16 |
| Seveas | mutable, if you don't know, don't do it :) | 11:16 |

| Dr_willis | You can just disable compiz.. :) | 11:18 |
| mutable | Seveas: ok, i won't do it? when i installed ubuntu 7.04 it had nvidia binary driver already installed. i don't want to compile kernel, i just want to install this binary driver | 11:18 |
| lollo | Dr_willis, !!! i found the uninstall icon of the game in the home foldeere ! :D | 11:18 |
| mutable | Seveas: I'll look at wiki you posted | 11:18 |
| Dr_willis | lollo, golly... it pays to pay attention. :) | 11:19 |
| avis | Seveas, i think mutable can't fetch a nvidia driver in the repos because of some sort of version mismatch | 11:19 |
| lollo | sigh i've always uninstalled through synaptic packages :s | 11:19 |
| Dr_willis | lollo, you do that when you INSTALL through the package manager., | 11:19 |

| ubotu | arabiannights: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 12:17 |

| Problems_Install | i need some help intalling ubuntu | 13:16 |
| Seveas | !helpme | Problems_Install | 13:16 |
| ubotu | Problems_Install: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 13:16 |
| === volkan is now known as linkibol | ||
| nosrednaekim | Seveas: would you happen to know if you could just copy the those source lists from another computer to one that has no such files? | 13:16 |
| Seveas | hmm, wrong factoid :) | 13:17 |
| x-punk | finally managed to mount my iTouch in ubuntu. using gtkpod however says my device is "read only". can only stream song through wifi from my iTouch. not add songs etc. what should I do? | 13:17 |
| Seveas | nosrednaekim, that should work, but why not simply run apt-get update on that other machine? | 13:17 |
| nosrednaekim | Seveas: dial-up, so it takes like an hour :) | 13:17 |
| Seveas | nosrednaekim, :) | 13:17 |
| kippy | it supports 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 and i tried 771 and 791 but no use :( | 13:17 |
| nosrednaekim | Seveas: too many packages ;) but i'm not complaining | 13:17 |
| Problems_Install | i dnt kno wats wrong here every time i wanna install i go to wubi but it just says it doesnt have a required cd | 13:17 |
| DRebellion | x-punk: is it actually mounted (eg you can access the filesystem)? | 13:17 |
| MasterAslan | does ubuntu use grub legacy or grub 2? | 13:17 |
| Seveas | MasterAslan, legacy | 13:18 |
| pyRunner | I was wondering if ubuntu could use something like the Windows equivalent of WMI? Like OpenPegasus? | 13:18 |
| x-punk | DRebellion: I can access the filesystem in /media/ipod ...but in what dir do I upload songs etc? bah.. don't really like this iTunes feature | 13:19 |
| DRebellion | x-punk: no idea, i haven't really messed about with my touch much yet (apart from jailbreak :) | 13:19 |
| mrmonday | Are there any applications for ubuntu that allow me to have a sidebar with widgets and such on? | 13:20 |
| Seveas | mrmonday, screenlets | 13:20 |
| * mrmonday googles | 13:21 | |
| kippy | hey ppl 771 and 791 modes dont work? although 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 are supported | 13:21 |
| DRebellion | kippy: try 640x480 | 13:21 |
| kippy | okay will give it a try.. by the way is there a way to add custom location to the weather applet? | 13:22 |
| x-punk | DRebellion: would be a nice to at lease get it to load my battery when plugged in ;-) | 13:22 |
| DRebellion | kippy: just set up your own streaming weather station ;) | 13:22 |
| kippy | ha ha | 13:23 |
| * DRebellion plugs in ipod touch | 13:23 | |
| kippy | but seriously what to do if the my city doesnt show up? | 13:23 |

| bitmonster | df -l | 13:24 |
| DOOM_NX | Seveas, there was an option that would measure ur hdd's speed | 13:24 |
| Seveas | iostat will tell you what it uses | 13:25 |
| Seveas | forget the name of the thing that tests the max. speed | 13:25 |
| DOOM_NX | it was something like fdisk or... | 13:25 |
| Krooks | I got another linux distro on another partition. Is there a way I can start it in a vmware or xen ? | 13:26 |
| Magilla | does anyone know a good starting point for multi-monitor programming? Tutorials, frameworks, example code etc? | 13:26 |
| nosrednaekim | Krooks: I think virtualbox can do that. | 13:27 |
| DRebellion | !dualhead | Magilla | 13:27 |
| ubotu | Magilla: Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 13:27 |
| Dimitree | hello :) | 13:27 |
| DRebellion | Magilla: oh, sorry got you wrong | 13:27 |
| kippy | Krooks, think thats not possible and vmware etc require their special files which serve as virtual hard disks | 13:27 |
| Raven2007 | #kde-edu | 13:27 |
| Dimitree | is there a way to si nicknames list in Xchat ? or is there a more Mirc like chat client for ubuntu ? | 13:27 |
| ConstyXIV | is there any way to mute the "unsafe device removal" message? | 13:27 |

| ConstyXIV | Dimitree: what do you mean by si? | 13:28 |
| j4k4 | hmm | 13:28 |
| * j4k4 ponders #canonical | 13:29 | |

| KEBA | dimitree: do you say it to me? so i want that the first .jpg come then then the next and so on, with animate i can do this, but i cant save the file | 13:29 |
| kippy | well dont think so.. the farthest you can get is to access the partition and filess from the other operating system :) | 13:29 |
| epifanio | hi i'm following these guide : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro | 13:30 |
| nosrednaekim | Seveas: copying them directly over doesn't seem to work, which seems odd. | 13:30 |
| epifanio | the video card now is working but in the ati panel i see : memory = 128mb | 13:30 |
| epifanio | while my video card is 256 :-/ | 13:30 |
| Dimitree | Seveas, well i see nicknames only when someone types, but not like a list like in mirc | 13:31 |
| Seveas | nosrednaekim, you'll probably need to modify /etc/apt/sources.list to be the exact same as the machine you copy from | 13:31 |
| epifanio | what i'm wrong ? i used the wrong drivers ? | 13:31 |
| Seveas | Dimitree, maybe it's just hidden, make a screenshot of your xchat window and send it to dennis (at) ubuntu.com | 13:31 |
| nosrednaekim | Seveas: hmm, true, I'll go grab that too | 13:31 |
| Dimitree | ok one sec | 13:32 |
| astro76 | Dimitree: you probably just have to move your mouse to the right edge of the window and drag the nick list open to the left | 13:33 |

| chrislees | Hi. Bit of a silly question maybe, but does anyone know of a program that will upsample my DVDs and then save them to Ogg Theora (or another Free non-patented codec)? | 13:56 |
| nanbudh | ah! thanks | 13:57 |
| luca | danielski_pl course there is ... ubuntuguide.org will be your friend | 13:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !flashissues > kippy | 13:57 |
| chrislees | *upsample to 720p or above | 13:57 |
| nanbudh | is there any open source website creator which is as good as they say nvu is? | 13:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crackhead_25_: You do understand that you will most likely not get that hardware to work in tablet mode.. right? | 13:57 |
| nanbudh | *any other | 13:58 |
| kippy | jack_sparrow: thanks | 13:58 |
| Dimitree | how do i install something from a pbi file ? | 13:58 |
| astro76 | chrislees: it is silly to encode bits that don't exist | 13:58 |
| crackhead_25_ | Jack_Sparrow: my laptop isn't listed there in the hardware page. what now? | 13:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kippy: np.. sorry I dont have better help for Opera Users | 13:58 |
| crackhead_25_ | noapic didnt work either.. sam eproblem.. | 13:58 |
| chrislees | astro76: I'm of the opinion that upsampling doesn't do anything, but I want to try something that claims to give a better picture :-) | 13:59 |
| jrib | luca: the file should work. Try something like "fs=yes" to see if that works | 13:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crackhead_25_: Then it will be trial and error or the ubuntu alternate-text install cd | 13:59 |
| chrislees | astro76: I'm also running experiments for a new open-source high def disc format | 13:59 |
| pyRunner | I was wondering if ubuntu could use something like the Windows equivalent of WMI? Like OpenPegasus? Any comments? | 13:59 |
| astro76 | chrislees: ahh... I agree it doesn't make much sense, though many claim the hardware upscaling works wonders | 13:59 |
| pyRunner | I was thinking of creating a package for OpenPegasus | 13:59 |
| Boglizk | I'm trying to setup syntax hilighting in nano. How do i proceed? | 14:00 |
| jrib | pyRunner: best to discuss that in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-motu if you are interested in discussing the packaging | 14:00 |
| oli | does nano support syntax hilighting? :> | 14:00 |
| jrib | oli: yes | 14:00 |
| Boglizk | oli: Yes. | 14:00 |
| oli | thx 4info. never tried. | 14:00 |
| pyRunner | jrib: thanks! | 14:00 |

| crackhead_25_ | what's a keystroke to go right to a console??? | 14:05 |
| alex__ | My problem seems to be related to xorg autodetection | 14:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alex__: Please post your xorg.conf to the pastebin.. and give us a link | 14:06 |

| Limez | Hello all, I was wondering if there was a tool for ubuntu which can resize pictures easely. I got pictures from my camera but they are too big for emailing | 14:07 |
| astro76 | Dimitree: Dimitree I don't know what that is | 14:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Limez: Gimp can do that | 14:08 |
| InspectorCluseau | Limez, GIMP | 14:08 |
| Limez | Jack_Sparrow: I know, but not all with 1 click | 14:08 |
| kippy | jack_sparrow, pidgin doesnt do voice calls. i was hoping to use my gtalk id.. have lots of contacts there | 14:08 |
| zootm | Masterslave: I think that's an SVN repository | 14:08 |
| Limez | I want something more easily | 14:08 |
| Dimitree | astro76, ok thanks :) | 14:08 |
| Limez | It will take me ages to resize hundreds of pictures | 14:08 |
| alex__ | Here is my xorg.conf, after having tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:08 |
| alex__ | http://pastebin.com/d3a008f76 | 14:08 |
| Masterslave | zootm, it is do you know how to style that, i've subversion on my server | 14:08 |
| Limez | Windows has a powertool for it. But never seen it for ubuntu | 14:09 |
| kippy | dimitree, have you tried qbittorrent? has a lot of features | 14:09 |
| jrib | Limez: imagemagick's convert or mogrify if you want a command | 14:09 |
| InspectorCluseau | Limez, I think you can make a script in GIMP to do that.....maybe | 14:09 |
| zootm | Masterslave: I don't think you're supposed to style that. There's frontend stuff like ViewSVN or Fisheye which present a friendlier view of that sort of thing though | 14:09 |
| astro76 | Dimitree: oh it's a pc-bsd package, you shouldn't install anything with foreign package systems | 14:09 |
| Limez | I already tried a few scripts, but they weren't working | 14:09 |
| Dimitree | astro76, ok ! :) ^__^ | 14:10 |
| jrib | Limez: gthumb seems like it has a gui for scaling too | 14:10 |
| Masterslave | ok thanks i will look for that, i've trac allready installed on myserver though | 14:10 |
| Dimitree | btw how do i delte something hahaha :D | 14:10 |
| Limez | jrib: how to do it in gthumb? | 14:10 |
| Limez | I got it already | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Limez: I wrote one for Windows to do just that.. You could select a folder and the size you wanted for the output and off it went. SO I know what you mean. I have not seen one in ubuntu | 14:10 |
| zootm | Masterslave: Why not just use Trac then? doesn't it do this? | 14:10 |
| astro76 | Dimitree: rm | 14:10 |
| Pegko | i have a problem with my netatalk. I want to run my LaserWriter 16/600 PS over appletalk pap find the Printer then i print a testpage and nothing happens! just the message "/usr/lib/cups/backend/pap failed" Driver is installed, but i think that something is rong with the URI pap://LaserWriter%2016/600%20PS@LaserWriter | 14:10 |
| Dimitree | thank you :) | 14:10 |
| jrib | Limez: tools -> scale images | 14:11 |
| Limez | jrib: k, I'll try that | 14:11 |
| Masterslave | zootm, yes it does, but just curious | 14:11 |
| Limez | if it won't work I'll continue googling :) | 14:12 |
| Limez | It must exist | 14:12 |
| zootm | Masterslave: Ah, Generally the SVN interface is supposed to be read by computers I think so screwing with it might not be advisable | 14:12 |
| zootm | Trac will probably do you just fine though | 14:12 |
| Masterslave | true trac works fine indeed | 14:12 |

| ackbahr | danand: I did that, and it strated in rc2 instead.... | 14:31 |
| nathan__ | Jack_Sparrow: I'm not sure, its a laptop that I haven't touched in awhile | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nathan__: Either way, if you are going back to 98.. one of the better windows versions.. Itisnt an issue for here. But reducing the shared video will help with the linux install | 14:32 |
| dimedo | Seveas: http://de.pastebin.ca/890147 | 14:32 |
| ackbahr | danand: By the way, do you happen to know what the "ro" option at the end of the kernel line is? | 14:32 |
| InspectorCluseau | read only | 14:32 |
| danand | ackbahr - read only | 14:33 |
| nathan__ | Jack_Sparrow: How would reduce the shared video inside of xubuntu? | 14:33 |
| ackbahr | danand: And what is made read only by this option? | 14:33 |
| danielski_pl | hey, can some one help, everytime i start firefox-non-free it logs me out of my current session | 14:33 |
| bloodboy | hello guys | 14:33 |

| bloodboy | epic failure | 14:33 |
| Seveas | dimedo, I'm out of clues -- dbus, gdm and gnome-settings-daemon are up, you should see those icons | 14:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nathan__: You cant do it inside the os.. it is a bios thing.. | 14:33 |
| rage_ext | hello I've abandond windows for good now. =) But now I've got some issues with my battery life time. It has become shorter and now. Is there a way to adjust the power consumtion moore effective? | 14:33 |

| ubotu | bloodboy: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 14:34 |
| danand | ackbahr - Your root file system is mounted read only initially at boot time (I think) | 14:34 |
| nathan__ | Jack_Sparrow: K Thanks for your help | 14:34 |
| jacob_ | I just wiped out my /boot directory contents. How'd I regenerate them again? :( | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nathan__: np | 14:34 |
| InspectorCluseau | danielski_pl, Firefox is probably crashing X....and then the system restarts X | 14:34 |
| bloodboy | how do i load the GUI interface in the CTRL - ALT - F1 mode? | 14:34 |
| ackbahr | danand: Which seems a good idea.... Well, thank you very much, I'm going to try this again then! See you probably in a few minutes! | 14:34 |
| hanophix33 | jack_sparrow: know anything about d-link wireless cards? | 14:34 |

| danand | ackbahr - luck | 14:34 |
| rage_ext | I've lost about 2 hours of runtime... | 14:35 |
| khice | hi | 14:35 |
| danielski_pl | InspectorClauseau: how do i fix it, remove and reinstall? | 14:35 |
| bloodboy | CTRL - ALT - F1 does not fix my problem | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hanophix33: I had some luck with the ones that had bcm43xx chipsets byusing fwcutter.. but I am not a wireless kind of guy | 14:35 |
| jacob_ | I really need to figure out how to get the contents of /boot back again. I ran "sudo grub-install" and that got grub, and I tried "update-initramfs" but that only put a new initramfs file in - I know there's more than that. :( | 14:35 |
| jrib | bloodboy: you get a terminal right? | 14:35 |
| bloodboy | yup | 14:35 |
| InspectorCluseau | danielski_pl, Got me...that might be a plan | 14:35 |
| dimedo | has anyone else any idea why i don't see the reboot and shutdown buttons in my gnome logout menu anymore? | 14:35 |
| hanophix33 | jack_sparrow: just bought one yesterday, thought it would be plug n play, but its not | 14:35 |
| bloodboy | what occured to the GUI like the Linux Live cd? | 14:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hanophix33: Find your chipset and check the wiki | 14:36 |
| InspectorCluseau | danielski_pl, Check your logs and see if therre is an error message | 14:36 |
| jrib | bloodboy: what exactly do you want to do? | 14:36 |

| jrib | bloodboy: ok. So does hitting ctrl-alt-f1 actually get you a terminal? | 14:37 |
| bloodboy | yes | 14:38 |
| InspectorCluseau | I think OO has a bunch of buit-in templates | 14:38 |
| techno_freak | jrib, it takes you to console, or 100% command line | 14:38 |
| nathan__ | Jack_Sparrow: I can't find where to change the shared memory in the Bios | 14:38 |
| jrib | bloodboy: so that gives you access to your system and you can modify what you want | 14:38 |

| bullgard4 | Seveas: Thank you very much. | 14:46 |
| jrib | bloodboy: yes, it gives you a root terminal. You can do the same thing if you get to ctrl-alt-f1. "repair my system files" does not really make sense. We need to figure out what the problem is first. Describe exactly what happens | 14:46 |

| jrib | cagri87: you really should never need to do that. If you need to touch something outside of your HOME, then maybe it is a config file in /etc. Or maybe you install some custom stuff that's not packaged in /usr/local/ or /opt. Having said that, read the page ubotu links you to next: | 14:53 |

| astro76 | exneo: chmod +x file.bin && sudo ./file.bin | 14:58 |
| DRebellion | bullgard4: pfft.. i would use locate | 14:58 |
| exneo | is there a graphical fontend | 14:58 |
| bullgard4 | exneo: The best way is to install its associated DEB program package. | 14:58 |
| DRebellion | exneo: there may be when you execute it | 14:59 |
| nemilar | exneo: yeah, you can right-click on it, properties, permissions, allow execution | 14:59 |
| bullgard4 | DRebellion: locate is slow in comparison with Tracker Search. | 14:59 |
| exneo | so do I put && or just make another command | 14:59 |
| DRebellion | bullgard4: locate is *fast* | 14:59 |
| exneo | sure I'll try that | 14:59 |
| bad_cables | what version is Debian Java up to? i need to install v 1.2 for a multimedia app | 14:59 |

| sixstorm | has Debian planned on releasing a new version any time soon? | 15:00 |
| bullgard4 | DRebellion: I know. But Tracker Search looks for text within files. | 15:00 |

| astro76 | sixstorm: I wouldn't hold my breath, that's what Ubuntu is for ;) | 15:00 |

| DRebellion | bullgard4: locate <string> | xargs grep -i <string> :P | 15:01 |
| Zimmer | nemilar: the best thing I could find was something that you had to install on your already existing Liunx | 15:01 |
| ompaul | sixstorm, there is no 4.0 | 15:01 |

| faris | whats the difference between ubuntu 6.06LTS and 7.10 and wich is better for a newbie ?? | 15:22 |
| Enselic | faris: the latest is best | 15:22 |
| bad_cables | Enselic: its an audio editor called AudioCutter | 15:22 |
| Enselic | faris: they differ in how long after their release they will get updates | 15:22 |
| hellion0 | faris: at this point, go with the latest version. | 15:22 |
| astro76 | sarthor: man rename, it uses regular expressions | 15:22 |
| Enselic | bad_cables: hav you tried Audacity? | 15:22 |
| bad_cables | Enselic: yeah | 15:22 |
| dakira | doug__: ALT+F2 -> gksu "gedit /etc/fstab" | 15:22 |
| LjL | Enselic: that's not a very good message to give... although it might apply in this specific case | 15:22 |

| LjL | !etiquette > crackhead_25_ (crackhead_25_, see the private message from Ubotu) | 15:23 |
| astro76 | sarthor: and consider copying a few files to another directory to test with | 15:23 |
| jrib | len: tried deleting those files? | 15:23 |
| bpowell1978 | Anyone know much about mounting shares from windows | 15:23 |
| len | jrib, yes I did | 15:23 |
| dakira | doug__: no.. that is the entry for my ext3 partition | 15:23 |
| faisal_d | Spunky_Monkey: cheers.. thanx for keeping me in mind | 15:24 |
| ompaul | crackhead_25_, ehh this is a support channel ;-) please don't do that, nice to know it works though | 15:24 |
| bad_cables | Enselic: i need to install Audacity tho, it looks like the most complete project for linux | 15:24 |
| jrib | len: does it happen with a fresh new user? | 15:24 |
| dakira | doug__: and you need to find out the UUID for the ntfs partition | 15:24 |
| Frogzoo | sarthor: for x in c* ; do mv $x d${x#c} ; done | 15:24 |
| doug__ | dakira, how do i do this? | 15:24 |
| len | jrib, dunno, I will try, but It works when I log in a root | 15:24 |
| dakira | doug__: open a terminal.. type sudo fdisk -l to see which device is your ntfs partition | 15:24 |
| dakira | doug__: then type sudo vol_id -u device (replace "device" with the real one) | 15:25 |
| dakira | doug__: also the directory in /media where you want to mount the partition (in my case "win") must already exist | 15:26 |
| dakira | doug__: sudo mkdir /media/win | 15:26 |
| faris | guys do you recommend runing ubuntu on vmware to learn linux ?? | 15:26 |
| doug__ | dakira, i was wanting it to mount to my desktop | 15:27 |
| Frogzoo | faris: sure | 15:27 |
| sixstorm | is anybody still using 6.06 since it is LTS? LTS releases are basically still being used by just servers right? | 15:27 |
| h6mi1007 | good morning | 15:27 |
| Frogzoo | faris: but doze sux to run vmware, but anyhow | 15:27 |
| LjL | faris: why not, it's as good as option as actually installing it, as far as "learning" goes | 15:27 |
| DIL | faris, there are sveral VM on the VM site you cam download if you have VM | 15:27 |
| doug__ | hey dakira can we move to another room please it is getting hard to work and find what you send me if not it is understandable. | 15:27 |
| hanophix33 | why does ubuntu freeze when i insert my wireless card? | 15:27 |
| sixstorm | faris: it's alright, performance isn't the real deal but it's good to learn on | 15:28 |
| faris | but there will be not compiz-fusion or any 3d things ? | 15:28 |
| LjL | sixstorm: not really, i've seen a few people here using 6.06. it's a pretty stable release - not bleeding edge but if it works well on one's hardware and one doesn't need bleeding edge... | 15:28 |
| h6mi1007 | anyone know if i can install debian and ubuntu and windows on the same harddrive? 3 partitions? | 15:28 |
| sixstorm | faris: no desktop effects for VMWare | 15:28 |
| LjL | faris: of course not. | 15:28 |
| LjL | faris: but you asked about "learning"... if you want shiny effects, that's a different question | 15:28 |
| Frogzoo | h6mi1007: certainly - just different partitions | 15:28 |
| hellion0 | h6mi1007: if you have enough space for all three, yes. | 15:28 |
| faris | and the best place to learn linux will be ? | 15:28 |
| LjL | faris: any Linux installation anywhere | 15:28 |
| sixstorm | LjL: true that. i just figured most people would take advantage of the new features of some of the newer releases | 15:28 |
| h6mi1007 | I do, just not sure which cd to use to format the harddrive, any ideas? | 15:28 |
| Almar | DOES ANYONE HERE USE UBUNTU? oops capitalized | 15:29 |
| faris | no not really i wont need them if i cant install them | 15:29 |
| LjL | sixstorm: "most", probably. "all", decidedly not | 15:29 |
| Frogzoo | h6mi1007: only gotcha is vista is finicky with the boot loader, but if you're using xp you'll be fine | 15:29 |
| hellion0 | i find the ubuntu liveCD works best for the partitioning. | 15:29 |
| h6mi1007 | xp | 15:29 |
| LjL | Almar: does this channel's name not give you a hint? | 15:29 |
| sixstorm | faris: try VMWare just to goof off with it first | 15:29 |
| hellion0 | or the alternatecd, too. | 15:29 |
| Almar | LjL, sortaish | 15:29 |
| sixstorm | faris: then get a cheap spare HDD and then give it a real test drive | 15:29 |
| h6mi1007 | cool | 15:29 |

| sheen | hi there | 15:39 |
| alex__ | erUSUL : when I use the screen and graphics utility I can change the resolution for the current session. But each time I disconnect, shutdown or restart the computer, I have to change the resolution manually through this utility. | 15:39 |
| WeedGrinch | Gusty is 7.10 ? | 15:39 |
| sheen | I have an nvidia 8800 GTS 512 (G92 chipset, the latest), I'm on Ubuntu64 7.10 with nvidia drivers 169.09. I have poor performance (about 10/20 fps instead of 50/100 with WinXP) in all games with cedega or wine (half life 2, css, dark messiah, morrowind, Oblivion). I'd like to know if there are any optimisation for my card please. | 15:39 |

| reakta1 | Hi guys. I've got a problem - here's what I did: "sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /myiso.iso /media/cdrom0" and got: | 15:40 |
| reakta1 | "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so." | 15:40 |
| reakta1 | If i skip the -t then I get" mount: you must specify the filesystem type" | 15:40 |
| howlingmadhowie | Bonaldo2000: the port the sshd runs on is given in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. don't forget to restart the server after you modify the file :) | 15:40 |
| reakta1 | sorry for the 3at once | 15:40 |
| adac2 | what service is the MTA? it starttts on booting and it takes quite a while | 15:40 |
| freeGNU | PriceChild, model of the modem ? | 15:40 |
| LjL | reakta1: perhaps the ISO is corrupted? | 15:40 |
| freeGNU | PriceChild, model of the modem ? | 15:40 |
| reakta1 | LjL: nope.. | 15:41 |
| reakta1 | MD5 says so | 15:41 |
| ATG | exit | 15:41 |
| astro76 | reakta1: did you look at dmesg? | 15:41 |
| LjL | reakta1: i'd try mounting somewhere else than /media/cdrom0 | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | alex__: that's really weird in theory the changes get written to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:41 |
| erUSUL | !fixres | alex__ | 15:42 |
| reakta1 | LjL: same thing wherever i try | 15:42 |
| ubotu | alex__: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 15:42 |

| freeGNU | PriceChild, ok | 15:42 |
| LjL | reakta1: that's when you tried without the -t? | 15:42 |
| astro76 | reakta1: I'd guess a wonky iso | 15:42 |
| reakta1 | LjL: without that it keeps asking for it "mount: you must specify..." | 15:43 |
| reakta1 | LjL, astro76: let me try the MD5 again just to make sure! | 15:43 |
| alex__ | erUSU thanks, but I've already tried all this :( Each time I change something in my xorg.conf, it get backed up and a new version is created. | 15:43 |
| Frogzoo | reakta1: looks like your cd's already mounted | 15:43 |
| LjL | reakta1: yeah i got that, but since the log talks about FAT, i guess it was trying something other than ISO9660 (such as, well FAT) | 15:43 |
| kodge | I need to install windows on this PC for reasons I don't wish to discuss. However whilst installing it says my HDD needs to be NTS ( or something similar to that ) for the installation to go through. Is there something I can do in ubuntu that would allow the process to happen? | 15:43 |
| alex__ | erUSU right now I have xorg.conf.1 to xorg.conf.14 ... | 15:44 |
| Jupp2 | if I'm stalling my / and my /home in different partitions, how big should my / be? | 15:44 |
| astro76 | kodge: you'll have to resize existing partitions to make space for an ntfs partition for windows | 15:44 |
| astro76 | !gparted | kodge | 15:44 |
| ubotu | kodge: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 15:44 |
| hellion0 | Jupp2: How big is the drive? | 15:44 |
| LjL | kodge: if you want to remove ubuntu, you need to reformat the HD (but i think the Windows installer definitely should be able to do that itself!); if you want to keep Ubuntu too, then you need to shuffle partitions around to make space for a Windows partition | 15:45 |
| WeedGrinch | I can't edit the "color" for any of the themes :S | 15:45 |
| Jupp2 | hellion0, 200G | 15:45 |
| hellion0 | WeedGrinch: Certain themes can be edited with that menu, others cannot. | 15:45 |
| WeedGrinch | Alright ty | 15:45 |
| hellion0 | You can also add new themes. A good place to look for themes is gnome-look.org | 15:45 |
| kodge | ljl: I tried to reformat the drive from windows isntaller disc, but it wouldn't have any of it, said it couldnt do that, and I don't want ubuntu and windows on the PC, just windows ( as this PC is being sold ) | 15:45 |
| Frogzoo | any way to stop the screen turning orange before the desktop wallpaper gets displayed on login? | 15:46 |
| hellion0 | Jupp2: 10GB should be robust enough for / | 15:46 |
| astro76 | kodge: then you should be able to easily delete the existing partitions, but ask in ##windows | 15:46 |
| Jupp2 | hellion0, thanks | 15:46 |
| DIL | recktal, check your syntax mount -o loop -t iso9660 isofile.iso /mnt/iso | 15:46 |
| LjL | kodge: well, an Ubuntu live CD (or the GParted live CD) will let you format the drive, however i don't think it'll let you create an NTFS filesystem on it. | 15:46 |
| jrib | Frogzoo: it needs to turn some solid color, but you can change the color in gdm settings | 15:46 |
| DoYouKnow | hi guys. I have a silly question. What's the hotkey to resize a window in X? | 15:47 |
| Slike | hi, i'm having a little problem: i'm using ubuntu 7.10 and the latest ati driver, everything works fine, but if i try to log off, or restart x my computer freezes: it shows my wallpaper and that's it (ctrl-alt-something doesn't work no more, only the power button to shut down, the controlled way...) | 15:47 |
| DoYouKnow | a move rather | 15:47 |
| hellion0 | kodge: it will, however, let you change it to FAT32, then you can change that from the win disc. | 15:47 |
| reakta1 | DIL: got that right | 15:47 |
| LjL | kodge: perhaps the Windows CD you have is an upgrade-only CD? (so it expects a Windows installation to already exist) | 15:47 |
| Jupp2 | LjL, gparted will let you format NTFS | 15:47 |
| DoYouKnow | I need to move a window since it went off my screen | 15:47 |
| DRebellion | DoYouKnow: alt+f10 to maximise... | 15:47 |
| astro76 | DoYouKnow: alt + drag anywhere in window | 15:47 |
| kenalex | hello | 15:47 |

| Bonaldo2000 | eh, I just changed the port my ssh server listens to from 22 to 223 in this file: "/etc/ssh/sshd_config", and restarted with this: "sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart". Now the server is not responding. How come? (luckily it stands right next to me so I can plug a keyboard and monitor in it if all goes wrong!) | 15:47 |
| LjL | Jupp2: ah, i didn't think NTFS support was so advanced. | 15:47 |

| kenalex | thanks astro76 | 15:48 |
| bulmer | Bonaldo2000-> what do you mean it does not respond? what steps did you do to test? | 15:48 |
| jrib | Frogzoo: ah yes, that's a bug. It's on launchpad. You need to edit some file directly. If you can't find the bug, let me know and I'll search | 15:48 |
| kodge | ljl: perhaps. Is there still any way around it? | 15:48 |
| freeGNU | PriceChild, Broadband router , Doul ports , Pa 10 , there is no logo on it | 15:48 |
| astro76 | kenalex: always try the obvious, tab completion helps ;) | 15:48 |

| gmcerveny | what can I used to edit the fstab file instead? | 16:05 |
| DRebellion | gmcerveny: you should have vi | 16:06 |

| DRebellion | Frogzoo: its a server, eg no gui | 16:07 |
| Frogzoo | DRebellion: oh right | 16:07 |
| DRebellion | gmcerveny: go for nano (its the most user friendly) | 16:07 |

| thoreauputic | voice: try sudo swapoff -a | 17:08 |

| thoreauputic | voice: that turns it off | 17:08 |
| sheen | Belorix, there are no graphic bug, just it's very slow | 17:08 |
| erUSUL | voice: you can use the already made partitions to install the 32 bit version | 17:08 |
| Randomtime | voice: you can keep the swap | 17:09 |
| sheen | Belorix, I seen user on wineHQ which were playing to these game at 50 fps =( | 17:09 |
| Randomtime | voice: tehre is no difference between 64bit's swap and 32 bit | 17:09 |
| danand_ | voice - there is a way to turn that off - think you can boot with an option to the kernel like swap=off (or something like that) but sure you can do R-click -> turn off swap from within GParted | 17:09 |

| meoblast001 | i guess ill just have to do things the easy way and reinstall xorg and GNOME | 17:11 |
| danand_ | TheBlackOut - just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file with the command gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and then cut and paste so that WinXP is above Ubuntu in the file (I _think_ this would work) | 17:11 |

| variant_ | Zimmer: did you run the disk checker available from the cd menu? it could be that the cd is corrupt. If you run the check and it says everything is fine then you might need to download the "alternative" installer, it runs in text mode and will get the system up and running. a lot of people have the same graphics card so it shouldn't be a problem once you have it installed, the cd can be funny like that sometimes | 17:19 |

| jrib | meoblast001: I'd troubleshoot by running a memtest first. If that's ok, see if it happens with a different video driver. nv if you use nvidia, ati if you use fglrx, vesa if you just want something generic etc... | 17:26 |
| stephen-mason | can anyone help me install dreamweaver in wine? | 17:26 |
| TangentBuntu | stephen-mason: it should be just like in windows | 17:26 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: how do i run a memtest? | 17:26 |
| jrib | meoblast001: it's an option at the grub menu when you boot | 17:26 |
| Seven_Six_Two | stephen-mason, except you precede the installer executable with wine | 17:26 |
| TangentBuntu | meoblast001: if you have grub installed, you can just run it from there | 17:27 |
| monkeyBox | I /thought/ simply accepting recommended updates would be stable.. am I wrong?? | 17:27 |
| stephen-mason | tangentBuntu: im a total newb, i just moved over from windows a couple days ago. you have to do it through the terminal dont you? | 17:27 |
| comicinker | variant_: it offers me resolutions up to 800x600. I would like to see 1024x786 | 17:27 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: TangentBuntu: k ill go try that | 17:27 |
| TangentBuntu | ah, I see | 17:27 |

| benny269 | Hi I program at uni in java and wish to use nedit and javac commands from the terminal in the same way. how can I set this up? | 17:28 |
| stephen-mason | where does the exe need to be? | 17:28 |
| thoreauputic | !samba | 17:28 |

| TangentBuntu | stephen-mason: right click on the icon and go to the "open with" part, just type in wine there and hit okay | 17:28 |
| unop | dsnyders, iirc, the rsync equiv is -- rsync --delete -av B A but i could be wrong | 17:28 |
| WeedGrinch | !samba | 17:29 |

| dsnyders | unop, I'm assuming that that's the existence test. | 17:48 |

| ConstyXIV | Bupsss, is it WEP-secured? | 17:48 |
| ylemercier | hi all | 17:48 |
| unop | dsnyders, i'm working under the assumption you want to delete from A what already exists in B .. so what you need to do is walk through each file in B and test it's existance in A, if it exists, delete it from A .. | 17:49 |
| Ajasena | #ubuntu-br | 17:49 |
| andax | Bupsss: this means, the network you try to access is encrypted and you need that key | 17:49 |
| unop | dsnyders, which is why it's [ -e ../a/$i ] and not the other way around | 17:49 |
| Ajasena | ? | 17:49 |
| ylemercier | does someone know if perl 5.8.8 comes with native threads support (compile arg at install-time) ??? | 17:50 |

| mnemonic_ | Tygir, AVI is only a container format and not a video codec. Can you try to find out what codec it actually is? If you run mplayer from a terminal it might display some information. | 18:00 |

| tussey | what's the easiest way to install a VNC server? | 18:03 |
| klndz3 | Does anyone know where I could find the NTP Daemon? | 18:03 |
| ompaul | !vnc | tussey | 18:03 |
| ubotu | tussey: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 18:03 |
| un0p | klndz3, you'll need to install one | 18:03 |
| tehmass | HEy guys.. Does ubuntu have minimal cd or just th~e desktop ver | 18:03 |
| un0p | !minimal | 18:03 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:03 |
| tehmass | i know wut thy r | 18:04 |
| linux__alien | thoreauputic, Sound works :) | 18:04 |
| tussey | I know what VNC is. I don't want to VNC over SSH | 18:04 |
| tehmass | when im at the site i see just the one | 18:04 |
| tussey | can't I do apt-get install something | 18:04 |
| un0p | tehmass, the standard ubuntu CD is just "the desktop" :) | 18:04 |
| klndz3 | tehmass, follow the link and you can get one to use | 18:04 |
| thoreauputic | klndz3: /usr/sbin/ntpd - but you don't need to use that - install ntpd and it will start on boot | 18:04 |
| tehmass | so the live cd? | 18:04 |
| tehmass | i have kubuntu now | 18:04 |
| Tygir | mnemonic_: sorry, im a newb....can you explain more? | 18:04 |

| un0p | tehmass, click the link above to get the minimal CD | 18:04 |
| thoreauputic | linux__alien: cool :) | 18:04 |
| tehmass | and all i see is desktop but ill look more sense you answered my q :D | 18:04 |

| lollo | LOOL | 18:06 |
| mnemonic_ | Tygir, right click the video file and select properties. A window will be displayed which should show the so called "MIME type" of the file. This says something about the file's contents. Please tell me what it says. | 18:06 |

| un0p | lollo, it depends on the filesystem -- and it's all taken care of for you | 18:07 |

| lollo | Oo .... oO .... ubuntu is gorgeoussssssss | 18:09 |
| mnemonic_ | Tygir, can you try to play it with a player that uses the gstreamer engine? That can be the Totem Video Player for example. If you have installed all gstreamer plugins (good, bad, ugly) it should work. | 18:09 |
| ompaul | klndz3, the command is sudo apt-get install ntpd | 18:09 |
| linux__alien | lol | 18:09 |
| linux__alien | : | 18:09 |
| linux__alien | :) | 18:09 |
| belavkard | it is very important what hardware you have. | 18:09 |

| * klndz3 facepalms | 18:09 | |
| Tygir | mnemonic_: is totem the default player? | 18:09 |
| ompaul | !offtopic | 18:09 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 18:09 |
| Belorix | belvakard will do i have to rebott into ubuntu hold on | 18:09 |
| eka | hi all | 18:10 |
| mnemonic_ | Tygir, yes. But its capabilities vary depending on which gstreamer plugins you have installed - so make sure you install (gstreamer0.10-good, bad, ugly, ffmpeg). | 18:10 |
| chabal | Hi, I just enabled my nvidia restricted driver and i still can't get compiz to work:( | 18:10 |
| belavkard | many a time there are people who expect an open system to run on hardware that the manufacturer neither releases a linux driver for, nor releases information needed to write a linux driver. | 18:10 |
| mewino | does anybody know why ubuntu will not boot after unistalling the sound drivers | 18:10 |
| chabal | i tried normal and extra effect and nothing:( | 18:10 |
| thoreauputic | ompaul: I think "lol" is what people are doing when they lean on a lamp post - ah, wait, that's "loll" | 18:10 |
| un_op | klndz3, actually - ntpd doesnt exist as a package, but openntpd does - sudo apt-get install openntpd | 18:10 |
| Tygir | mnemonic_: yeah, i just made sure i had all gstreamer plugins installed...and i do... | 18:10 |
| klndz3 | un_op, I just figured that out :-D | 18:11 |
| mnemonic_ | Tygir, and does it work with Totem? | 18:11 |
| eka | I have a laptop with a intel 3495 wireless card... that is configured to work in roaming mode... is there any way to configure it to boot configured and use wpa tkip? | 18:11 |
| belavkard | totem is good, but as a personal preference, i use mplayer. | 18:11 |
| belavkard | perhaps i've just got used to it. | 18:11 |
| andres99 | kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on hda7 | 18:12 |
| Tygir | mnemonic_: nope...i try to open it and it just closes...doesnt play anything...just closes... | 18:12 |
| klndz3 | un_op: It seems openntpd as a package doesn't exist either. "E: Couldn't find package openntpd" | 18:13 |

| mnemonic_ | Tygir, there may be a chance that the file uses a wmv9 or wmv10 format and utilizes DRM. In this case you will not be able to play it. | 18:14 |
| klndz3 | un_op: already tried that, I just did it again, but I still got the same error | 18:14 |
| mnemonic_ | Tygir, but please read the ubuntu wiki - maybe you'll find something there that I've missed. | 18:14 |
| Tygir | mnemonic_: i dont think it does...i downloaded a TV show...off of usenet...i dont think there is any wmv9 or 10 or DRM... | 18:14 |
| un_op | klndz3, errm, what version of ubuntu are you on? | 18:15 |
| klndz3 | un_op: 7.10 Gusty | 18:15 |
| klndz3 | Regular Ubuntu | 18:15 |
| mnemonic_ | Tygir, hm I cannot really think of anything else to do if you tried all players. Which version of ubuntu are you using? | 18:15 |
| un_op | klndz3, errm, make sure you have a valid sources.list file and that you have universe enabled | 18:15 |
| un_op | !w32codecs | Tygir, | 18:16 |
| ubotu | Tygir,: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages | 18:16 |
| Tygir | mnemonic_: 7.10 | 18:16 |
| tehmass | if i use the Regular 700mb dvd image will it install the unessacry bloatware? | 18:16 |
| Tygir | un_op: i already installed the w32codecs | 18:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tehmass: What do you mean by bloatware? | 18:17 |
| belavkard | tehmass: there is necessary bloatware? | 18:17 |
| tehmass | junk | 18:17 |
| un_op | Tygir, it's likely that the file you downloaded is corrupt or not a valid wmv file - have you tried another wmv file to see if it's not the codec/player's fault | 18:17 |
| Jon_ | For some reaosn the volume controls don't work | 18:17 |
| belavkard | tehmass: one man's junk. | 18:18 |
| tehmass | and is it as upto date as the minimal | 18:18 |
| Jon_ | Like if i change them in alsamixer they work | 18:18 |
| Jon_ | but not on the gnome panel | 18:18 |
| Jon_ | The XMMS volume controls don't work either | 18:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Do you have a specifc question are are you just trolling | 18:18 |
| tehmass | well i meant does it install it automatically | 18:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tehmass: Do you have a specifc question are are you just trolling | 18:18 |
| belavkard | tehmass: if you are asking if the packages on the .iso are the same as those on the repos, the answer is yes. | 18:18 |
| tehmass | or can i unselect it? | 18:18 |
| un_op | tehmass, what's junk to you might not be junk to someone else -- if you are looking to build a system up from scratch, i suggest doing a base install using the minimal CD and then installing the packages you need on top of that | 18:19 |
| klndz3 | un_op: I believe that may have been the issue | 18:19 |
| tehmass | ya thats waht i want to do. I cant find the minimal cd for ANYTHIN | 18:19 |
| belavkard | tehmass: if you're installing from the livecd, i don't think you can. but i do believe there's an advanced mode on the alternate cd. | 18:19 |
| un_op | !minimal | klndz3 | 18:19 |
| ubotu | klndz3: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 18:19 |

| klndz3 | Belorix: Works well on G networks, and has a huge range | 18:28 |
| Belorix | klndz3 do you know if there making a fix for it for the next release? | 18:28 |
| Belorix | but anyway | 18:28 |
| Scunizi | Jack_Sparrow: but the static version or .deb file? or maybe I haven't seen the download page for the beta | 18:29 |
| Belorix | how can i make it so grub will boot windows first | 18:29 |
| klndz3 | Belorix: I'm not sure, the only solution I could think of would be to try to set up madwifi with it | 18:29 |
| aspire | hello | 18:29 |
| aspire | is there any one here that can help me with firefox carashing? | 18:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Scunizi: I got it directly from skype... should not be hard to find.. let me see if I bookmarked it | 18:29 |
| aspire | crashing 24/7 | 18:29 |
| Tygir | ok, i downloaded a new .avi and i get sound in totem, but no video...just black screen | 18:30 |
| jrib | Belorix: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and set "default" to the number you want. Numbering starts at 0 and headings count (like "Other Operating Systems:") | 18:30 |
| mnemonic_ | aspire, without further investigation - the easiest way to solve this might be to delete your firefox proflie (the '.mozilla' directory in your home directory). Doing so you will lose all your bookmarks and settings. | 18:30 |
| aspire | I have a debug message in the terminal that says how why it crashed | 18:31 |
| RequinB5 | Is there a comprehensive Dictionary for OOo in the repos? | 18:31 |
| aspire | does any one know this package? | 18:31 |
| jrib | aspire: what package? | 18:31 |
| jrib | RequinB5: the aspell-* packages work with OOo | 18:31 |
| OasisGames | Hey, really quick, I'm about to go to RadioShack and need some suggestions for a cheap USB Bluetooth dongle, preferably one that will work with CWiiD. | 18:32 |

| ubotu | OasisGames: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 18:32 |
| aspire | jrib: do you know more about this? | 18:32 |
| aspire | for some reason this causes my firefox to crash straight after it loaded? | 18:32 |
| jrib | aspire: I have no idea what package you are talking about. I saw you ask about firefox crashing and then something about a package | 18:33 |
| OasisGames | ubotu: Read it, not much help, unfortunately, only three of the ones listed worked, and most were older models. Hence why I'm here. | 18:33 |
| aspire | first removed another plugin, Gnash | 18:33 |
| RequinB5 | jrib - are they high quality? I don't want to have to tell my office program that existentialism is a word | 18:33 |
| Tygir | anyone know why i can get sound, but no video in totem... | 18:33 |
| jrib | aspire: try 'firefox -safe-mode' or create a new firefox profile and debug with that | 18:33 |
| jrib | RequinB5: try it, it works fine for me | 18:33 |
| browniehead | my borders disappeared, how can i get them back | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | \ http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/beta/ | 18:33 |
| gilda | tygir probably totem is not supporting the video codec on your avi file | 18:34 |

| the7thmagus | I am trying to TAR my entire filesystem for backup. however, I don't have enough space to save that TAR on my current parition. is there a parameter for the "tar" command that allows me to specify to save on another partition? | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | the7thmagus: Yes you can do that | 18:35 |
| Scunizi | Jack_Sparrow: thanks.. I was looking too but only managed to get to the standard download page even after following the Beta link.. | 18:35 |
| DRebellion | the7thmagus: just mount the other partition and save it there. you might want to compress as well tar czf | 18:35 |
| === oscar_ is now known as KlavKalashj | ||
| gilda | not sure then normally i use vlc solves all my codec issues for me | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !backup | 18:35 |
| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up.

| jrib | kenalex: pidgin is | 18:36 |
| Scunizi | Jack_Sparrow: actually that link you gave me goes to the download page showing Feisty and other distributions as well as static and dynamic downloads. Are all of them beta? If so I'll get the deb for feisty | 18:36 |
| kenalex | ok | 18:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Scunizi: If you look close, it should be pulling down skype 2.0... | 18:36 |

| Scunizi | Jack_Sparrow: yep.. so I clicked the feisty link | 18:37 |
| kenalex | virtualbox is another good virtual platform | 18:38 |

| mewino | i followed the instructions under also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting?highlight=%28sound%29 | 18:39 |
| woooosh | DRebellion, but that will make the program visible inside /usr/share, /usr/bin or whatever? is there away to install a program so it leaves everything outside my home untouched? | 18:39 |
| prx | g | 18:39 |
| DRebellion | woooosh: yes, download the source, and compile it | 18:40 |
| gilda | does it get past grub ? what does it fail on in the startup ? does it get to the gdm/kdm? | 18:40 |
| klndz3 | When I use "sudo ntpdate clock.psu.edu" I get an error saying the NTP socket is in use, and my time doesn't update | 18:40 |
| aspire | jrib: actually I have not, though that I would have more chances asking you | 18:40 |
| mewino | yes it does and then it stay in the command typing then and thats it, no gnome | 18:40 |
| jrib | aspire: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/158958 | 18:40 |

| kahrytan | jrib-> HVR-1600 cards have a ivtv beta driver | 18:45 |
| thoreauputic | kahrytan: usually to compile modules you only need linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | th0r: Arrick That discussion is better suited to #Ubuntu-offtopic | 18:45 |
| wweasel | SleepingSloth: Sorry, never used syslogd before. Could you elaborate? I guess it's a system log daemon...where are the logs? | 18:45 |
| Arrick | I currently have a core 2 duo, 3.2 ghz, with 4 gigs memory and i want to run OS's in vm's | 18:45 |
| jrib | NW2190: so use UUIDs | 18:45 |

| mewino | gilda i think that my gdm' and 'ubuntu-desktop has been removed like it stats in that link | 18:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sosus: what is your user name for skype? | 18:53 |
| wweasel | SleepingSloth: I haven't. I've used Ubuntu for years now, but haven't had the need to do troubleshooting like searchign down the cause of a hard lock. So I've never learned about all these logs | 18:53 |
| sosus | sambbones | 18:53 |
| gilda | not removed just compiled against the old alsa version | 18:53 |
| sosus | Jack_Sparrow, sambbones | 18:53 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sosus: I do see me | 18:55 |
| gilda | LOL sorry thoreauputic im still on me 1st coffee | 18:56 |
| sosus | Jack_Sparrow, I don't see you... | 18:56 |
| SleepingSloth | wweasel, i'm no expert - if i were in your shoes, i would be checking hardware, rather than trying to identify what caused the problem using logs/software. that is due to a lack of experience though... as you say, they're not 'everyday' occurrences... | 18:56 |
| sosus | Jack_Sparrow, how about now? I forgot to hit "start video" | 18:56 |
| gilda | mewino, sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop | 18:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sosus: would you ind /j #Voyager so we dont annoy the channel | 18:56 |
| mewino | what do you mean redrag | 18:57 |
| gilda | it will reinstall the login manager and the desktop | 18:57 |
| sosus | Jack_Sparrow, ok | 18:57 |
| daron | help Rasshan canal? | 18:57 |
| mewino | you type in 3 different things which one should i put in | 18:57 |
| meoblast001 | hello? does anyone know how to change the font size on the login screen? | 18:58 |
| lostatsee | has the Flash plugin been fixed yet? | 18:58 |
| meoblast001 | ive googled this problem a lot and for some reason i dont have system > preferences > fonts | 18:58 |
| thoreauputic | meoblast001: evidently not | 18:58 |
| muuddflap | anyone know how to get a old sound blaster to work with 7.10 | 18:59 |
| jrib | lostatsee: see the /topic | 18:59 |
| meoblast001 | does anyone know where the gnome font controls are? | 18:59 |
| Lettuc3 | is it possible to have .dotfiles and .dotfolders appear dimmed in nautilus? | 18:59 |
| jrib | meoblast001: system -> preferences -> appearance | 18:59 |
| KiD_ChAoS | how do i specify a route using ifconfig | 19:00 |
| Lettuc3 | meoblast001 system - preferences - appearance - fonts? | 19:00 |
| meoblast001 | jrib: i guess that doesnt change the login screen because that appears ok | 19:00 |
| BodomLaw | I dont get a desktop cube with compiz, it only gives me 2 desktops | 19:00 |
| Tuari | meoblast001: did you install a custom theme? | 19:00 |
| meoblast001 | im very sorry to everyone for my impatience.... ive been patient for some time now and this is a very stressful issue | 19:00 |
| Lettuc3 | meoblast001 login screen: system - administration - login window. | 19:00 |
| white_eagle | BodomLaw, | /join #compiz-fusion | 19:01 |
| KiD_ChAoS | how do i specify a route using ifconfig | 19:01 |
| BodomLaw | thanks | 19:01 |
| meoblast001 | Lttuc3: that doesnt fix my problem, the font size on the login screen is too big | 19:01 |
| gilda | KiD_ChAoS, use the route command | 19:01 |
| Lettuc3 | meoblast001 unless im mistaken that's a gdm theme. | 19:01 |
| muuddflap | ok quess not later | 19:01 |
| meoblast001 | Tuari: no, its the standard ubuntu ones.... the font is way too big though.... it happened after running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 19:01 |
| thoreauputic | KiD_ChAoS: that was kind of a classic case of asking the question the wrong way around :) | 19:02 |
| Lettuc3 | meoblast001 and although i haven't tested it, you can assign a gtkrc file under login window preferences, but im not sure it's going to achieve what you want. | 19:02 |
| KiD_ChAoS | gilda, thanx | 19:02 |

| CrazyPhil | Hi. I have configured Ubuntu to mount automaticly 3 partitions at start with the fstab file. Basicly named Disk_C, Disk_D and Disk_E. The mount work, but once in Ubuntu, they are show as Disk_C, Local disk and Local disk (2). They are named ok in /media/ but not on Desktop. What going wrong? | 19:04 |
| gilda | mewino, failed out | 19:04 |
| KiD_ChAoS | set a gateway for eth0 gilda | 19:04 |
| gilda | mewino, failed how i mean | 19:04 |
| gilda | route add default gw IPAddress | 19:04 |
| DRebellion | CrazyPhil: what filesystem are they? is this a dual boot?# | 19:04 |
| === aragorn is now known as Radiohead | ||
| Lettuc3 | meoblast001 im not sure that would change your font size, although i know that under windows you could specify font settings in there. i havent seen the same in linux, so im not sure. | 19:04 |
| KiD_ChAoS | gilda, that adds the gateway for all interfaces? | 19:04 |
| gilda | yes | 19:05 |
| CrazyPhil | DRebellion, all ntfs. Disk_C is the partition of a dual boot. Disk_D and E are separate hard disk | 19:05 |
| bentob0x | ok, I can't get this to work: I'm ssh'ing into a second machine where I have the admin account and when I do sudo cd /folder/to/go + password it tells me: sudo: cd: command not found | 19:05 |
| DRebellion | CrazyPhil: then, those are probably the names assigned by windows to the drives themselves. | 19:05 |

| gilda | mewino, sudo apt-get update | 19:06 |
| DRebellion | CrazyPhil: change the name of the drive under windows. | 19:06 |

| Bmoc | Hello everyone, anyone experiencing problems installing 7.10? Specifically my LCD monitor losing signal when I choose to install ubuntu from the bootable CD? | 19:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psycholvlan: which driver did you install | 19:37 |
| Phuz | nice nick, Led_Zeppelin | 19:37 |
| Led_Zeppelin | does 64bit version make a huge difference versus 32bit version of ubuntu? | 19:37 |
| tigran | Bmoc: Have you tried safe gfx mode? | 19:37 |
| darknature | how much of a risk would i take if i upgrade from 7.10 to the new 8.04 alpha 4? | 19:37 |
| Sinister | have a new dvd player that plays divx how do i transform my avi and mpeg to divix ? | 19:38 |
| Bmoc | tigran: yes, same thing, this is the 64bit version btw. | 19:38 |
| psycholvlan | the one that came with ubuntu 7.04 and i tried the 169.08 Linux 32 one from nvidia | 19:38 |
| nickrud | Bmoc: do you have an onboard and also a video card? | 19:38 |
| unop__ | Led_Zeppelin, yes in terms of hardware and resource utilization | 19:38 |
| psycholvlan | 169.09 | 19:38 |
| Phuz | darknature, it is an alpha version, it is suggested to only be used in environments that you don't have valuable data in | 19:38 |
| prash | wat are ops jack? | 19:38 |
| Bmoc | Nickrud: yes, is that a problem? | 19:38 |
| Bmoc | nickrud: i answered my own question. ;) | 19:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bmoc: when it goes blank... have you tried ctrl-alt F2 to get terminal | 19:38 |
| nickrud | Bmoc: sometimes the install will choose to use the onboard, disable the onboard in bios | 19:38 |

| DRebellion | psycholvlan: 7.10 gutsy gibbon is latest | 19:42 |
| psycholvlan | maybe that one will work | 19:42 |
| Phuz | psycholvlan: Actually, 7.10 is the latest STABLE release | 19:42 |
| Phuz | There's 8.04, but that's alpha | 19:42 |

| psycholvlan | what causes the no screens error when you install the graphics driver.... incompatible hardware? | 19:46 |
| nickrud | astro76: do you have a clue why that's still there, or not replaced? | 19:46 |
| astro76 | nickrud: same reason as why software isn't updated in a time-based release distro | 19:46 |
| astro76 | except for update and backports, the repos are always frozen at each release | 19:47 |

| SleepingSloth | i have a question... i've got a directory with hundreds of files in it-all named differently(obviously), but some contain the same content. can anyone suggest a quick way of identifying the duplicates (something diff-like) ?? | 20:24 |
| zubat | drrohin, i see, sorry im not too sure then but vlc is the best:) | 20:25 |
| nemilar | SleepingSloth: diff ;) are they exact duplicates? you could then use hashes, aslso | 20:25 |
| drrohin | zubat: thank you yeah i have used vlc for ever in windows before i converted | 20:25 |
| SleepingSloth | nemilar, so - shell script along the lines of 'foreach file in directory, diffit against all the other files? | 20:26 |
| jrib | SleepingSloth: file sizes first to give candidates and then hashes or diff would be my suggestion | 20:26 |
| zubat | drrohin, cool np | 20:26 |
| nemilar | SleepingSloth: jrib has a good idea about using filesizes to narrow down the candidate field | 20:26 |
| SleepingSloth | jrib, nemilar - this needs to be fully automated, and the files should be completely identical | 20:26 |
| soneil | SleepingSloth: "md5 * | sort | uniq -c" would be a rough starting point. kinda intensive tho | 20:26 |

| DRebellion | Pentarex: :/ don't know, sorry. | 20:45 |
| HighNo | craigbass1976: sounds strange. I'm not sleeping but reading the smb.conf man page... hang on | 20:45 |
| Pentarex | DRebellion: ok 10nx m8 | 20:45 |
| howlingmadhowie | mo0n_sniper: i think gdm spawns | 20:45 |
| lordmorgoth | howlingmadhowie, there are, but it's not working properly my screen blinks every now and then | 20:45 |

| Dimitree | :[ | 20:45 |
| danbhfive | devils-haven: f-spot | 20:45 |
| ampex | he needs to shut down gdm to install the nvidia driver, not restart it | 20:45 |
| lordmorgoth | mo0n_sniper, ctrl +alt +backspace restart X not kill it :) | 20:45 |
| devils-haven | k, thx will give it a try | 20:45 |
| howlingmadhowie | lordmorgoth: okay, then ctrl-alt-f2 and then "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" | 20:45 |
| MasterAslan | devils-haven: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Alternatives for a whole list of alternatives | 20:45 |
| devils-haven | thx | 20:46 |
| danbhfive | devils-haven: f-spot is already installed, btw | 20:46 |
| ampex | lordmorgoth: ctrl+alt+f1, then /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then install nvidia driver then /etc/init.d/gdm start | 20:46 |
| ridge-meister | anyone seen this site -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Training ??? Dr_willis sent me there, but not sure why. I don't see anything there of value other than links to the ubuntu site | 20:46 |
| MasterAslan | anyone have an idea how I can view recently installed stuff from command line? | 20:46 |
| lordmorgoth | thanks howlingmadhowie ampex aricz_ and mo0n_sniper :) | 20:46 |
| devils-haven | any good? | 20:46 |
| === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| craigbass1976 | HighNo, I just realized that cent's apache folder is /var/www/html, and ubuntu's is just /var/www. | 20:46 |
| howlingmadhowie | ampex: usually ctrl-alt-f1 is used by gdm, so he won't have a prompt there :) | 20:46 |
| Dimitree | danbhfive where do i type that command ? sorry im totaly new to linux ? | 20:46 |
| craigbass1976 | HighNo, changed smb.conf to reflect that, and now we'll see what happens. | 20:47 |
| danbhfive | Dimitree: which command is that? | 20:47 |
| HighNo | craigbass1976: ok | 20:47 |
| Dimitree | (10:40:36 PM) danbhfive: !enablesources | Dimitree try this | 20:47 |
| ampex | howlingmadhowie: since when is ctrl+alt+f1 used by gdm? it uses f7, correct? | 20:47 |
| devils-haven | i am new to ubuntu, but i am seeing that linux in general is not realy ready yet | 20:47 |
| howlingmadhowie | ampex: the xserver uses f7. i know that if i press ctrl-alt-f1 i don't have a prompt but gdm | 20:47 |
| bitmonk | i want to run on a zfs root volume, does anyone know if there is any information on this? i've scoured google a bit with no luck specifically for ubuntu | 20:48 |
| danbhfive | Dimitree: it was actually a reference to some menus, that on the default install, are at the top of the screen | 20:48 |
| ampex | howlingmadhowie: I have never seen that behavior on a ubuntu machine, hmmm | 20:48 |
| Zimmer | hmmm | 20:48 |
| mo0n_sniper | @<lordmorgoth> oh sorry | 20:48 |
| Zimmer | this really isn't working | 20:48 |
| danbhfive | !enablsources > Dimitree | 20:48 |
| Odd-rationale | devils-haven: I think that depends on the user | 20:48 |

| devils-haven | i am having some interface anoyyance | 20:48 |
| devils-haven | is there a way to increase the size of the window margins? to resize a window i have to be realy precise with the mouse | 20:48 |
| Zimmer | ok, I need something to save my skin here. I have an 8800GTS and I had to install ubuntu 64bit AMD through the text interface because I couldn't boot | 20:48 |
| Zimmer | it worked | 20:49 |
| Zimmer | but the problem is | 20:49 |
| usr13_ | What is the anoyance? | 20:49 |
| ampex | devils-haven: I would agree with you if you consider "ready" to be "works like windows" and "is compatible with all of the same hardware as windows" | 20:49 |
| HighNo | devils-haven: let's say you are used to a different interface | 20:49 |
| Zimmer | I cannot boot into ubuntu at the grub screen | 20:49 |
| Zimmer | it has a blank screen | 20:49 |
| Zimmer | :/ | 20:49 |
| danbhfive | !enter > Zimmer | 20:49 |
| devils-haven | not the interface that the problem | 20:49 |
| ampex | devils-haven: ubuntu or linux is not just "windows for free" | 20:49 |
| howlingmadhowie | Zimmer: do you get this "press escape now" screen? | 20:49 |
| ridge-meister | devils-haven: you're right, Linux right now is just a glorified hack. The one thing i like about it is that my desktop isn't crashing and i'm not getting any computer viruses, and some of the software is really good. other than that, it's poor hardware recognition and ports from windows software don't work very well. | 20:49 |
| usr13_ | devils-haven: what is your problem? | 20:49 |
| Dimitree | danbhfive btw any idea how i can login as root ? During the installation i was asked only for username and pass, i tryed root with my pass but it didnt work ? | 20:49 |
| Zimmer | I tried "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 20:49 |
| Zimmer | but once configured | 20:50 |
| Zimmer | nothing happens | 20:50 |

| danbhfive | !root | Dimitree | 20:50 |
| ubotu | Dimitree: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 20:50 |
| devils-haven | to resize a simple window i have only 1 pixel used, how can i change that | 20:50 |
| ridge-meister | HighNo: :D | 20:50 |
| Zimmer | howlingmadhowie: no, I press ENTER and then blank screen | 20:50 |
| pvl1 | ampex, do u know how to get them running? | 20:50 |
| devils-haven | i have to realy carfuly touch the line so i can resize a window | 20:50 |
| jrib | devils-haven: that's a metacity theme preference. The border width is set in the theme | 20:50 |
| ampex | Zimmer: have you tried installing the latest nvidia proprietary driver from their website? | 20:50 |
| howlingmadhowie | Zimmer: it's possible the pretty picture while booting doesn't work. can you get to the screen where you can choose what you want to boot? | 20:50 |
| usr13_ | devils-haven: Windo from what application? | 20:50 |
| devils-haven | any way for me to manualy change it? | 20:50 |
| erUSUL | Zimmer: boot into recovery mode and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' to configure X again | 20:51 |
| Zimmer | howlingmadhowie: yes | 20:51 |
| usr13_ | itsatroll | 20:51 |
| ampex | pvl1: what are "them"? | 20:51 |
| devils-haven | if windows had cumpiz it would go a very long way | 20:51 |
| linxeh | Zimmer: why did you install 64bit ubuntu? if you have less than 4GB the 32bit version is normally much easier | 20:51 |
| Zimmer | erUSUL : done that, nothing | 20:51 |
| howlingmadhowie | Zimmer: and then when it starts to boot everything goes black? | 20:51 |
| pvl1 | ampex. the games | 20:51 |
| ampex | devils-haven: arguably, vista's aero is somewhat similar to compiz | 20:51 |
| Zimmer | yes | 20:51 |
| danbhfive | pvl1: what are the errors? | 20:52 |
| Zimmer | linxeh: I have 4GB | 20:52 |
| CrazyPhil | Hi. I want to change the defaut program used to open audio (mp3, ogg, wav). They are currently oppened with Totem but I want Quod Libet to open them. Is there any to work with this? ty | 20:52 |
| erUSUL | Zimmer: :S | 20:52 |
| ampex | pvl1: which games? I've lost track of your previous conversation | 20:52 |
| devils-haven | not realy, i have vista as my main system | 20:52 |
| devils-haven | on my other drive on this system | 20:52 |
| howlingmadhowie | Zimmer: can you edit the boot line and delete the words "splash" and "quiet" and then boot? | 20:52 |
| danbhfive | CrazyPhil: maybe its in the right click menu | 20:52 |
| pvl1 | ampex, tremulous, warsow, openarena, alienarena. the only problem is the opengl | 20:52 |
| ampex | pvl1: what sort of video card? | 20:52 |
| devils-haven | i realy like the shakind windows, and the muly desktop ability, windows doesn't even come close | 20:52 |
| CrazyPhil | damn.. I look at it | 20:52 |
| devils-haven | multy | 20:53 |

| ampex | pvl1: ati cards and linux seem to be rather problematic | 20:53 |
| Zimmer | howlingmadhowie: ill try that | 20:53 |
| MasterAslan | can anyone fix the syntax on this? ls -lrt /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list | 20:53 |
| HighNo | devils-haven: is that the anoyance? :-) | 20:53 |
| ampex | pvl1: what driver are you using? | 20:53 |
| devils-haven | on windows, yes | 20:53 |
| simps | Could someone help me with VNC over SSH? ;o | 20:53 |
| howlingmadhowie | Zimmer: you should see the boot messages go wizzing by | 20:53 |
| danbhfive | pvl1: it sounds like a driver issue | 20:53 |
| playboyiam | can you tell me please how to add flah player plugin in konquerer | 20:53 |
| pvl1 | ampex, i used envy. dunno | 20:53 |
| HighNo | simps: whats up? | 20:53 |
| playboyiam | how to add flah player plugin in konquerer | 20:53 |
| Zimmer | ampex: how can I install if I cant even boot | 20:53 |
| CrazyPhil | danbhfive, HighNo thx | 20:53 |
| usr13_ | HighNo: itsatroll | 20:53 |
| playboyiam | is it just me or konversation refreshes itś window in a slow motion as i had no graphics card drivers intalled? | 20:54 |
| ampex | pvl1: I don't always trust envy to do "the right thing" | 20:54 |
| devils-haven | maybe eventualy some one will learn how to code for windows and make somthing compiz worthy for vista | 20:54 |
| simps | HighNo, i can connect from my windows to ubuntu via ssh, but then when i type in "vncviewer localhost:1", it says unable to display | 20:54 |
| ampex | pvl1: I would try installing the latest ati drivers manually and even then you may not have the best of luck, ati's drivers really "suck" | 20:54 |

| ampex | pvl1: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 20:55 |
| Supricky06 | hey i need some help installing, can anyone help? | 20:55 |
| simps | usr13_, same result | 20:55 |
| iskin | Will the kernel be updated for Gutsy or is it frozen until Hardy? | 20:55 |
| pvl1 | ampex, thanks | 20:55 |

| usr13_ | simps: Is the server MS Windows? | 20:56 |
| simps | usr13_, nope, ubuntu is the server | 20:56 |

| iskin | erUSUL, thank you. | 20:56 |
| usr13_ | simps: vncviewer ip.add.ress.here:5901 | 20:56 |
| ampex | magick: could it be a video driver issue? what sort of video card? | 20:56 |
| LinuxTweaker | Anyone here running openBox? | 20:56 |
| HighNo | simps: ok, so you have the vnc server on the ubuntu machine working? Do you want a seperate X session or is there already running one you want to look at via vnc? | 20:56 |
| magick | 8600GT with the nvidia drivers installed | 20:57 |
| robf | ok I just installed a harddisk from a defunct bo=x that broke, its ide, now I have my system installed on a sata drive... is there a way to access both drives? or are they mutually exclusive, using sata / ide | 20:57 |
| playboyiam | vlc screwed up my sounds how can i how can i turn up volume? | 20:57 |
| robf | and if not, why isn't my sata drive4 showiong up anymore | 20:57 |
| usr13_ | simps: thighvncserver and then localhost:5901 | 20:57 |
| HighNo | usr13_: noticed the "VNC over SSH"- init before? | 20:57 |
| robf | although that makes no sense since my cd drive is ide...and they worked together >< | 20:57 |
| magick | ampex, its kind of odd.. the mouse isn't lagged at all, just the keyboard | 20:57 |
| iskin | LinuxTweaker, I've run openbox. I don't use it as my default. | 20:57 |
| ampex | robf: as long as both drives are cabled properly and the BIOS is identifying the drive(s) there should be no problem using IDE and SATA drives simultaneously | 20:57 |
| Supricky06 | hey i need some help installing, can anyone help? | 20:58 |
| usr13_ | HighNo: No | 20:58 |
| Supricky06 | i need help witht the partitions | 20:58 |
| usr13_ | Supricky06: what is your question? | 20:58 |
| HighNo | usr13_: that's what I thought... | 20:58 |
| ampex | robf: if you boot into linux with the SATA drive, you should see the IDE drive show up as a /dev/hd* device | 20:58 |
| robf | ampex: I'd thought so,m the sata drive was alread in this box, and it has my linux system installed...once I installed the ide drive though, it keeps trying to boot from that and I have no /dev/sd* | 20:58 |
| simps | usr13_, same result :\. | 20:58 |
| ampex | robf: your BIOS is probably set to boot to the IDE driver before the SATA | 20:58 |
| LinuxTweaker | iskin: is the /etc/menu-methods/openbox script working in your setup? It appears to be broken on Gutsy with OB 3.4.4 on my system... | 20:58 |
| HighNo | simps: of course - he did not realize your "over SSH" thingy | 20:59 |
| robf | ampex: well thats why im on a live cd now :p | 20:59 |
| ampex | robf: IDE drive rather, not driver | 20:59 |
| robf | ampex: but no /dev/sd | 20:59 |
| usr13_ | HighNo: He probably needs to run nmap against the server [to see what port the server is listening on]. | 20:59 |
| ampex | robf: no /dev/sd with the livecd? | 20:59 |
| HighNo | usr13_: nope! | 20:59 |
| usr13_ | simps: run nmap against the server [to see what port the server is listening on]. | 20:59 |
| HighNo | usr13_: args, do you actually read his posts? :-/ | 21:00 |
| Supricky06 | usr13 well i selected the manual partition, and i got 3 drives and freespace option under / dev/hda | 21:00 |
| robf | ampex: nope thats why i was asking heh, see this drive is another linux box, i just needed to copy whats on it to this box, so i can wipe that drive out, cos the computer it was in kinda had an accident involving flames and a psu | 21:00 |
| Supricky06 | but my question is how to make the partition? | 21:00 |
| ampex | robf: what sort of livecd are you using? | 21:00 |
| snkmad | i used a bridge ADSL modem, but now its on router mode, how do i stop ppoepconf to run at startup? and theres any problem to let it run? | 21:00 |
| robf | ampex: amd64 it worked with sata when the ide drive wasn't in here | 21:00 |
| usr13_ | HighNo: No, Did you? | 21:00 |
| robf | ampex: you think some bios' may be retarded and have a mutual lock on ide/sata hdds? | 21:00 |
| ampex | robf: ubuntu livecd? | 21:00 |
| robf | ampex: yessir | 21:00 |
| Supricky06 | which mount point i select? and which root directory should i use? | 21:01 |
| ampex | robf: shouldn't be | 21:01 |
| ampex | robf: try changing your boot options to boot to the SATA drive before the IDE drive | 21:01 |
| HighNo | usr13_: some of us really do, imagine that... | 21:01 |
| ampex | robf: and check if the BIOS detects the SATA drive now with the IDE drive plugged in | 21:01 |
| robf | ampex: cos thinkin bout it, it never noticed the sata drive, the box is a small ...cube, microatx and annoying cramped... i bet the cable became detatched when i was routing the ide cable to the other drive | 21:01 |
| simps | :s | 21:01 |
| iskin | LinuxTweaker: I've never used it. Let me check. | 21:01 |
| LinuxTweaker | thanks iskin | 21:01 |
| simps | HighNo, any suggestions? | 21:02 |
| ampex | robf: not having the drive plugged in would probably cause it not be detected :) | 21:02 |
| HighNo | simps: so again, you are already logged in (locally and graphically) on the ubuntu box and wnat to have a peek on that session from aa windows machine over a SSH link? | 21:02 |
| snkmad | i used a bridge ADSL modem, but now its on router mode, how do i stop ppoepconf to run at startup? and theres any problem to let it run? | 21:02 |
| simps | HighNo, yes | 21:02 |
| magick | after I make changes to menu.lst in grub, grub-install will enforce them? | 21:03 |
| robf | ampex: heh yeh, its just such a chore...i mean the box has about 4 sq inches of free space inside, im surprised it doesnt run at like 100C...it's just cramped, prolly not hard for a small sata plug to come dislodged when i was routing the other cables around the case | 21:03 |
| HighNo | simps: ok, you enabled the vnc server within gnome's settings? | 21:03 |
| Supricky06 | anyone? | 21:03 |
| Dimitree | please help me with my add programme problem :{ | 21:03 |
| howlingmadhowie | magick: you don't have to run grub-install | 21:03 |
| simps | HighNo, i'm pretty sure i did, but just to make sure, help me through that process :P | 21:03 |
| mentus | magick: there's no need to use grub-install to enforce anything.. after the first run it'll point to the menu.lst and you can edit as you wish | 21:03 |
| erUSUL | magick: no; need to run any executable only editing make them take effect | 21:03 |
| robf | ok lemme hop off here... and check the cabling | 21:04 |
| magick | I tried and it didn't seem to work.. I did have boot problems a while ago and solved them.. maybe that's why? | 21:04 |
| magick | took out a hard drive and had to reinstall grub elsewhere | 21:04 |
| Dimitree | how can i fix this please help opera: | 21:05 |
| Dimitree | Depends: libqt3-mt but it is not going to be installed | 21:05 |
| howlingmadhowie | magick: yeah, it's quite possible that was necessary | 21:05 |
| HighNo | simps: my desktop is german, so there might be some differences, but I'll give it a try: System->Settings->Remote Desktop - mark the first two checkboxes, don't check the third one and if you would like a password check the fourth and enter the password | 21:05 |

| ampex | Stefan30067: no offense, but why not play games under the OS they were written for? | 21:07 |

| HighNo | simps: setup putty that everything for the already working connection to the ubuntu box is done. Then go to "Connection->SSH->Tunnels" and at the field "Source Port" enter "5910", at the field below enter "localhost:5900", make sure the radiobox below reads "local", then click on "Add", you may then want to save these settings as a template in PuTTYs main screen | 21:10 |

| Parsec300 | DRebellion, I've installed Wallpaper-tray and it worked, however, I quit before I added a directory. Now it won't load anymore, because it says it can't find any pics in the configured dir. I can't even get into the config editor anymore. I've tried removing it with apt-get, but somehow it keeps a config file somewhere, but I have no idea where. Do you? | 21:13 |
| Pirate-King | DASPRiD--> cp trash.zip home? | 21:13 |
| simps | HighNo, i still get "unable to open display" | 21:13 |
| JxmlT_87 | Drebellion: Right I did that and it old me the file is a directory. its the new alsa file if that helps | 21:13 |

| magick | woo hoo! solved the laggy keyboard. I think I know why it happened now. I tried to hibernate once and when i tried to boot back into it it failed so I hard reset it and I believe the problem has been happening ever since then. On boot, it still tries to resume hibernation. Is there a way to remove that attempt? | 21:13 |
| howlingmadhowie | zLoSteR: either you configure grub, or you dual boot through the bios of the pc | 21:13 |
| simps | HighNo, it says "vncviewer: unable to open display" | 21:13 |

| babo | http://pastebin.com/m76e53884 | 21:14 |
| ViRgiLiO | ups, this is not console :) | 21:14 |
| HighNo | simps: ok, then either the tunnel is not up yet or the vnc server is not running. you saved the settings as I told you? Of course you would have to make a new connection to the ubuntu box with these new settings, otherwise the tunnel is not up yet. | 21:15 |

| jchstevens | Please can anyone advise on an error I get when trying to upgrade from gutsy to feisty? | 21:16 |
| HighNo | simps: on windows side there always a potential problem with a firewall. It should let traffic addressed to localhost pass but you never know... | 21:16 |
| jchstevens | The process gets stuck while "Modfying the Software Channels" | 21:16 |
| howlingmadhowie | gmcastil: since the new version of java6 isn't yet in the repositories, i'd recommend downloading directly from sun | 21:16 |
| simps | HighNo, firewall is off | 21:17 |
| HighNo | simps: what connection string do you use to connect vnc at the moment | 21:17 |
| gmcastil | howlingmadhowie: does apt mix 64 and 32 bit libs? | 21:17 |
| simps | HighNo, what do you mean? | 21:17 |

| howlingmadhowie | gmcastil: i think the version of java6 in the 64-bit repositories is the 64 bit version | 21:17 |
| HighNo | simps: what do you enter in the vncviewer to get a connection | 21:17 |
| gmcastil | howlingmadhowie: is there a way to tell what's installed? dpkg -p sun-java6-jre is what i've been doing | 21:18 |
| crackhead_25_ | can anyone help me get my ubuntu installation working? i keep getting a black screen after i log into a session... ????? | 21:18 |

| howlingmadhowie | gmcastil: i think "apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre" does the same | 21:19 |
| HighNo | simps: I wanted you to start a vncviewer on the WINDOWS machine, not within the ssh session | 21:19 |
| iskin | LinuxTweaker: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=openbox. And if you need to setup http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192106 is a good tutorial and the one I used. | 21:19 |

| howlingmadhowie | gmcastil: have a look at "apt-cache show sun-java6-jre". that seems to say some interesting things | 21:20 |

| Rodolfo | !LAMP | 21:28 |
| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:28 |
| bad_cables | yeah, same reason why i use it | 21:29 |

| simps | HighNo, usr13_ back | 21:29 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, before you restart, have you tried ctrl+alt+f1? | 21:30 |
| bad_cables | at least i compiled this one and ran it on my own this time... that is 2 in a row today ;) | 21:30 |
| feanorek | when i type ./configure i get this: checking for X... no | 21:30 |
| feanorek | configure: error: Can't locate your X11 installation | 21:30 |
| howlingmadhowie | Kunzy: basically there are 2 different ways: v4l-devices (where everything just works) and dvb-devices (where you are entering a world of pain). most devices support v4l :) | 21:30 |
| simps | HighNo, i can use that to connect if i type in the local ip, not localhost because the vncserver is not on my windows, its on my ubuntu | 21:30 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: it has a few lines about xf86unbindgartmemory unbind keys.. | 21:30 |
| HighNo | simps: ok, did you read my last line just before you were gone? | 21:30 |
| feanorek | these are the last two lines, im trying to compile conky | 21:30 |
| bad_cables | later... GO GIANTS | 21:30 |

| twistedbeatfreek | blag: ok im doing that now | 21:30 |

| super-6-1 | so anyone know how to use a eyetoy as a web cam? | 21:30 |
| HighNo | simps: that is true - BUT - that is where the ssh tunnel comes into the game | 21:30 |
| blag | twistedbeatfreek: that will take care of a lot of stuff for you | 21:31 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, ok... one moment | 21:31 |
| Kunzy | thanks, if i have troubles, i'll check in. I just want to work on ubuntu and watch the game | 21:31 |
| HighNo | simps: so please again: type "localhost:10" in there | 21:31 |
| twistedbeatfreek | blag is it just like windows after that i dont know much about networking | 21:31 |
| newermind | Rodolfo, yes | 21:31 |
| lollo | ciao | 21:31 |
| lollo | someone use stardict? i've some problems ... | 21:32 |
| runa | can sb help me asociate a program to mmst protocol to firefox? | 21:32 |
| simps | HighNo, so i connect first with ssh, then doubleclick the exe and put localhost:10 into the address? | 21:32 |
| HighNo | simps: to explain a bit: the ssh tunnel setting we made before automatically redirects any traffic ariving on the windows (putty) end at port 5910 to the ssh server on the other side (encrypted!) and there it is forwarded to "localhost:5900" (the second line we entered in putty's settings) | 21:32 |
| HighNo | simps: correct! | 21:32 |
| blag | twistedbeatfreek: its not quite like windows. you can use that program to select folders you wish to share over the network. past that, i know very little about it | 21:32 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, I suppose it's worth checking that your Xorg.conf is in order | 21:33 |

| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: telnet doesn't define protocols for logging in and passwords. how you do that depends on the device you're connecting to | 21:38 |
| speedhunt3r | howlingmadhowie: it just asked for my password...back to prompt. | 21:39 |
| HighNo | simps: ok, i just looked in the man page - portforwarding is enabled by default... | 21:39 |
| sourcemaker | this question is off-topic... but does somebody know... how I can export openoffice document to pdf via command line? => open document => update ALL => export to PDF... I did't find a macro for this stuff | 21:39 |

| er4z0r | anyone running this? | 21:39 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: under which section, screen? there is no "dirver".. that im seeing.. | 21:39 |
| simps | speedhunt3r, sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf | 21:39 |
| HighNo | simps: could you tell me the exact line you enter to start an unencrypted vnc session? | 21:39 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: ok, it says driver "intel" | 21:39 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: should i change that? | 21:39 |
| playboyiam | is there netscape for linux? | 21:39 |
| howlingmadhowie | speedhunt3r: and didn't show any shares? that's not a good sign | 21:40 |
| simps | HighNo, i put in 192.168.1.47 into the address | 21:40 |
| simps | HighNo, the local ip for the ubuntu | 21:40 |
| speedhunt3r | howlingmadhowie: no shares | 21:40 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: what do i do next? | 21:40 |
| nagyv | hello! could someone help me with a bluetooth program? I can neither connect browse my phone from the computer, nor send a file from the phone to the computer. Still, I can connect to my phone using MulitSync. | 21:40 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, well, you could try using i810 instead. | 21:40 |
| simps | speedhunt3r, you see a file loaded, right? | 21:41 |
| howlingmadhowie | speedhunt3r: and you have a windows computer attached to your lan which has some shared files or folders on it? | 21:41 |
| sanzky | howlingmadhowie, well, then Im in a big problem, jeje | 21:41 |
| TrioTorus | what is the livecd sudo password? | 21:41 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: yes I can see the config file. | 21:41 |
| gmcastil | if I run fetchmail on ubuntu, will it bring my mail to /home/user/mail or someplace in /var/spool ? | 21:41 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, i should point out that i dont have integrated gfx, and i'm no expert - but i am aware of some problems with the intel driver in the past, at least | 21:41 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: ok, rebooting.. we'll see.. | 21:41 |
| twistedbeatfreek | blag ok i put a shared folder in and went to check my other computer and didnt see the connection | 21:41 |
| xrr | Hey guys. I have a problem using the "make" commando. I always get Error 1 and Error 2 when trying make. Anyone know why this might be? Using Ubuntu 77.10 | 21:41 |
| speedhunt3r | howlingmadhowie: yeah I have a XP pc sharing 1 folder just to troubleshoot...it's on the same workgroup. | 21:41 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: you have to work out what the device wants to hear. for example, a POP3 server wants to hear USER <username> and then PASS <password> | 21:41 |
| simps | speedhunt3r, scroll down until you see "workgroup" | 21:41 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, you'll need to install that driver, i would have thought | 21:41 |
| xrr | trying to use it.. | 21:42 |
| crackhead_25_ | oh really? how do i do that?? | 21:42 |
| simps | speedhunt3r, change that to whatever network you connect to from windows | 21:42 |
| sanzky | howlingmadhowie, Can I echo the user and password from another process? | 21:42 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, i think its xserver-xorg-driver-i810 - so... sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-driver-i810 | 21:42 |
| crackhead_25_ | well, it seemed to have worked.. just typing it in.. in that file.. | 21:42 |
| LadyNikon | hi.. i am following the guide to put other a dual monitor system.. do you know if "EndSection" should be placed between each declaration of a screen session | 21:42 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, hopefully, someone who is better placed to help you will chip in... | 21:42 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: i doubt it. when you telnet into the device, what do you see? | 21:42 |
| crackhead_25_ | perhaps it was already isntalled? i just booted in, and it loogged in.. and there was no black screen.. LOOKS SOVLED??! | 21:42 |
| simps | speedhunt3r, so the line should be "workgroup = networknamehere" | 21:43 |
| crackhead_25_ | although the dimensions aren't exactly right.. | 21:43 |
| crackhead_25_ | it looks a little bit smaller than it should be | 21:43 |
| HighNo | simps: I can't see any problem with that - vnc is running as usual on port 5900 then. Could you please check if the settings of the ssh session are alright? can you make a screenshot of the tunnel settings page of putty? | 21:43 |
| sanzky | howlingmadhowie, a welcome message and a prompt asking for my username | 21:43 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, ah- well, perhaps it was installed as a result of a dependancy elsewhere... | 21:43 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: which you then enter. and what happens then? | 21:43 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, well, at least we're getting somewhere though | 21:43 |
| crackhead_25_ | what should i do now? something about a 915 hack? is that what i need to do? | 21:43 |
| nagyv | TrioTorus: I think the LiveCD ubuntu user does not need a password | 21:43 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: it's workgroup = MSHOME as it should be. | 21:44 |
| gmcastil | how does one configure services from the CLI? | 21:44 |
| rsk | gmcastil: with an editor and bash | 21:44 |
| sanzky | it ask for password or for the username again if I didnt type anything | 21:44 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, i honestly couldnt say.... if resolution looks wrong, i would be looking at the xorg.conf again.... | 21:44 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: so you enter the password... | 21:44 |
| sanzky | yes | 21:44 |
| gmcastil | rsk: i was referring to which processes started during which run level | 21:44 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: and everything works? | 21:44 |
| sanzky | yes | 21:44 |
| gmcastil | rsk: i'm trying to get fetchmail to run | 21:44 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: so what's the problem? :) | 21:44 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: i look at screen resolution pref.. it only has the option of 1024x768.. when it should be larger, like 1280x768 or 1280x800.. | 21:44 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, yeah - that'll be in xorg.conf | 21:45 |
| xrr | Hey. I need some help guys. I am trying to install ipwraw-ng, by using "make". But I get the error when trying to make: "Error 1, and also Error 2". I have got the same problem trying to install or make other programs.. | 21:45 |
| sanzky | howlingmadhowie, I need to login automaticly, without typing anything. with a script or something | 21:45 |
| gmcastil | xrr: did you run configure yet? | 21:45 |
| howlingmadhowie | speedhunt3r: do you have a firewall running? | 21:45 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: here's another thing, when I try to set a smbpaswd it says connection to local host timed out... | 21:45 |
| blag | twistedbeatfreek: unfortunately, that is the extent of my knowledge, you can ask your question again, though | 21:45 |
| speedhunt3r | howlingmadhowie: nope... | 21:45 |
| xrr | gmcastil, I guess not.. | 21:45 |
| simps | speedhunt3r, press ctrl+w and then search for [homes] | 21:45 |
| Skade | -fr | 21:45 |
| howlingmadhowie | sanzky: tricky but possible | 21:45 |
| gmcastil | xrr: have you ever built anything from source before? | 21:45 |
| xrr | no, i have not | 21:46 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: how do i get to xorg.conf and reset it up while in the gnome session?? | 21:46 |
| sunseeker888 | hi guys, by mistakes , i removed some program from top panel. knotes & kalarm. how can i restore them to panel | 21:46 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead - you'll need to add the resolutions, and restart X. although i would recommend restarting the machine, sometimes restarting X has slightly unexpected results.... | 21:46 |
| * lorogon RadioGNU http://cnslg.org.ve:8000/radiotron | 21:46 | |

| sanzky | howlingmadhowie. well, I'll keep trying. thanks for your help | 21:46 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 21:46 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: found homes...browseable = yes | 21:46 |
| gmcastil | xrr: they usually explain the build process, but, in general, it's usually something like: | 21:46 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, but you *will* have to restart X atleast | 21:46 |
| sanzky | need to go. thanks all | 21:46 |
| xrr | ok :-) Thank you | 21:46 |
| HighNo | sanzky: do you need an interactive session afterwards or would it be sufficient to enter a set of commands and quit afterwards? | 21:46 |
| sanzky | HighNo, i need an interactive session | 21:47 |
| gmcastil | xrr: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && make && make install ...dont't blindly run those commands, though | 21:47 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: the PC running XP can see my computer, I just can't see any pcs over here... | 21:47 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: im in the gedit.. now what?? | 21:47 |
| xrr | ok, i see | 21:47 |
| xrr | and actually get what your saying. | 21:47 |
| xrr | thank you | 21:47 |
| simps | HighNo, i can connect now ;D, i added 5901 instead of 5900 | 21:47 |
| simps | HighNo, however, it still says no encryption | 21:47 |
| === jesse__ is now known as bad_cables | ||
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, well,add the new resolutions into the relevant section-just follow the convention that is already in use. | 21:48 |
| gmcastil | xrr: since ubuntu uses a package manager, though, you want to avoid mixing and matching prgs built from source with deb packages | 21:48 |
| HighNo | simps: where did you enter the 5901 instead of 5900 and who says there is no encryption? | 21:48 |
| gmcastil | xrr: i would probably install it in your home directory or in /usr/local if you must | 21:48 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: the xp PC can see my computer but when i try to access it, it says network path not found. | 21:48 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: the proper display is alreayd there in the file.. but it's not being used at the moment?? | 21:48 |
| bad_cables | how do i specify a static addy with netmanager? | 21:48 |
| xrr | yes, i know, but i cannot find it using the package manager.. | 21:48 |
| gmcastil | xrr: that said, you'll want to make sure that you get everything configured correctly (man pages in /usr/local/share, etc) | 21:48 |

| Halpain | ALguien de españa! | 21:49 |

| x-punk | anyone here with an ipod touch who uses it on linux? | 21:49 |
| gmcastil | xrr: its totally fine to build and install in /usr/local, but you don't want to install it in /usr or partially in /usr or /usr/local | 21:49 |

| Sinister | can you make a avi into a mpg ? | 21:49 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, there are resolutions listed in xorg.conf that do not appear as options in 'screen resolution' in gnome - is that what you're saying? | 21:49 |
| gmcastil | xrr: i would advise you to install it in $HOME | 21:49 |

| gmcastil | xrr: that way if you want to remove it, you can just manually delete it | 21:50 |
| speedhunt3r | simps: something to do with updates? some other ppl I know also have similiar problems. | 21:50 |
| HighNo | simps: but when did you enter 5900 there? You said you entered that instead of 5900? | 21:50 |

| speedhunt3r | If this is off-topic I apologize but has anyone tried fedora 8? any comments on that? | 22:00 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, you should just be able to apt-get it | 22:00 |

| M-Nagato | B-rabbit, what browser? firefox? | 22:00 |
| Leg0z | can someone help me with a samba question? | 22:01 |
| HighNo | simps: args -whoohoo, I chose another port because there could have been another vnc server running on the windows machine | 22:01 |
| B-rabbit | yer | 22:01 |
| ArionH | hi | 22:01 |
| SleepingSloth | Leg0z, just ask... | 22:01 |
| Leg0z | k | 22:01 |
| M-Nagato | i think it's /usr/lib/firefox by default | 22:01 |
| th0r | start ssh with ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901....sorry | 22:01 |
| nagyv | B-rabbit: I think the Medibuntu repository has acrobat reader, and plugin. You can install easily by adding it to your package sources. | 22:01 |
| simps | HighNo, 5910 source port, localhost:5900 destination? | 22:01 |
| HighNo | th0r: he will probably not do that - because he is on the windows side of the game! | 22:01 |
| HighNo | simps: right | 22:01 |
| bad_cables | this chan is the bomb,,, thanks again | 22:01 |
| gmcastil | nagyv: cron isn't really what i'm looking for - i want fetchmail to run as a daemon when init starts a certain run level | 22:01 |
| simps | th0r, i'm using PuTTY :P | 22:01 |
| HighNo | simps: that way your tunnel never interferes with a local vnc server | 22:01 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: can't find it.. ?? ? | 22:02 |
| th0r | simps....5901 on both local and remote | 22:02 |
| Leg0z | I set up a samba server on this machine... everything is all good... but for some reason even though ive set samba for no authentication... on my windows machines its still prompting for a username and password when trying to connect to the share | 22:02 |
| HighNo | th0r: it is workin already! | 22:02 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, what do you get if you type sudo apt-cache search 915resolution ? | 22:02 |
| xrr | gmcastil. I am in the directory where i untar'ed the files. Where the INSTALL and README files are | 22:02 |
| Leg0z | something with the fstab maybe??? | 22:02 |
| sanjivv | hal not running at startup.. can somebody help?? | 22:02 |
| nagyv | gmcastil: then symlink it in the proper rcX.d directory | 22:02 |
| sanjivv | hal not running at startup.. can somebody help?? | 22:02 |
| th0r | HighNo ok...but using 5900 will cause problems later | 22:02 |
| gilda | Leg0z, try setting the username to guest and passwd to blank for windows xp machines | 22:02 |
| HighNo | th0r: no, it doesn't | 22:02 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: nothing | 22:02 |
| speedhunt3r | LegOz: just set a blank smbpassword like just hit the [enter] key twice for every user that wants to log on to your computer. | 22:02 |
| gilda | in samba | 22:03 |
| simps | HighNo, now i get the error with both 5901 and 5900 | 22:03 |
| Leg0z | see thats the thing... I cant have it prompting to connect as this is going in a small office | 22:03 |
| gmcastil | does anyone use fetchmail under ubuntu? | 22:03 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, you dont have the same sources.list as i do then. have you got the universe and multiverse enabled in your software sources? | 22:03 |
| HighNo | th0r: it is the setup he want's to use - he has an ubuntu box which an already running session and a running vnc server on port 5900 giving him access to that session - he wnats to connect to that machine via an ssh tunnel from a windows machine | 22:03 |
| HighNo | simps: arrrrgs, what exactly did you change? | 22:04 |
| th0r | HighNo ok | 22:04 |
| gilda | ya Leg0z set the username required to guest and the password to blank for in samba - xp uses this as the hidden user and pass to connect to windows to windows default shares | 22:04 |

| HighNo | simps: because I never even said anything about "5901" - | 22:04 |
| Leg0z | ill try that | 22:05 |
| speedhunt3r | ooooh thanks. | 22:05 |
| gmcastil | speedhunt3r: most linux apps support tab completion of some sort - it's probably one of the most efficient things in the OS | 22:05 |

| ompaul | joanki, evince seems to be more flexable | 22:07 |
| speedhunt3r | anyone tried making and testing your own custom live-cd ? I tried it..it kept asking me a user name and password when I tried to double click install. It booted successfully though... | 22:07 |
| ompaul | joanki, evince is installed by default | 22:07 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, but if the universe is enabled, i dont know why you cant see it | 22:07 |
| * Ashfire908 wonders when he will get banned for reconnecting a bunch of times when his internet keeps disconnecting | 22:08 | |
| HighNo | simps: that is correct, because vnc does not use its own encryption - but the vnc packets are all stuffed into the ssh session which encrypts the packets then | 22:08 |
| ompaul | Ashfire908, if you want - now | 22:08 |
| joanki | ompaul thx | 22:08 |
| simps | HighNo, oh lmao | 22:08 |
| Ashfire908 | ompaul, not asking for one lol | 22:08 |

| === benzs_s is now known as benzss | ||
| XeNix | can we install ubuntu slackware and windows XP on 3 boot ? | 22:13 |
| emily | k hold on | 22:13 |
| ScreaminIke | lamalex your alt or your tab? | 22:13 |
| lamalex | XeNix: yes | 22:13 |
| compuwiz | Quick question, do I need to tell squid what network adapter to use? currently it says Network is unreachable | 22:13 |
| Slart | XeNix: sure | 22:13 |
| lamalex | ScreaminIke: I guess what I mean is my alt-tab window switcher unbound | 22:13 |
| lamalex | and I can't find how to rebind it | 22:13 |
| liluggi | salve | 22:13 |
| ScreaminIke | ;) using compiz? | 22:13 |
| Slart | !ccsm | 22:13 |
| lamalex | couldn't findd it in keyboard shortcuts | 22:13 |
| ubotu | To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion | 22:13 |
| lamalex | ScreaminIke: no | 22:14 |
| emily | screamin, do it again.. i lost it | 22:14 |
| Slart | oh.. nevermind the ccsm thingy | 22:14 |
| ScreaminIke | emily: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 22:14 |
| emily | reconfigure must be run as root | 22:15 |
| emily | ? | 22:15 |
| lamalex | Slart: yeah, I know about CCSM. I'm fairly well versed in linux, I'm a sysadmin and long time user. I just can't seem to find where this is bound | 22:15 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, basically, no- but i think you need to run 915resolution -l | 22:15 |
| ScreaminIke | emily: alt+(number) switches between CHAT windows in irssi. i sent you a private message. check it (start hitting alt+1, alt+2, alt+3 until you get to it | 22:15 |
| ScreaminIke | ) | 22:15 |
| Slart | lamalex: well.. if you're not using compiz.. I have no idea.. it's not somewhere deep down in gconf? | 22:15 |
| XeNix | i have any shit an partition for acer garatie :s | 22:15 |
| gmcastil | what determines where mail is stored on Ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| XeNix | how i can add an partition for windows XP i have already 4 one | 22:16 |
| lamalex | Slart: it's probably somewhere in gconf, but gconf is such I mess I was hoping someone in here would be able to point me in a good direction | 22:16 |
| emily | found it ike | 22:16 |
| Slart | gmcastil: what application you're using to store the mail I guess | 22:16 |
| ScreaminIke | ok... just talk with me there to reduce the room traffic | 22:16 |
| scott25 | i keep getting i/o errors when i boot the livecd and i can't create partitions when i install... | 22:16 |
| Slart | lamalex: mm.. a mess indeed... I would be more curious as to why it has suddenly become unbound | 22:17 |
| lamalex | Slart: I think it had to do with compiz. I was using compiz, but then I switched to the free radeon driver which doesn't support 3d on my card | 22:17 |
| howlingmadhowie | scott25: io-errors sounds like there's something wrong with the cd | 22:17 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: once you do that, what do you do? | 22:18 |
| crackhead_25_ | restart X? | 22:18 |
| Slart | gmcastil: you might find something useful here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 22:18 |
| mjw-- | scott25: or with the CD drive | 22:18 |
| ScreaminIke | emily: did you run that command using sudo? | 22:18 |
| lamalex | but compiz isn't running currently, so I think compiz unbound it from metacity | 22:18 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, i believe so. well, reboot is probably best | 22:18 |
| mouseboyx | Im having a problem with if statements, and strings http://pastebin.com/m79427549 This should return true based on the string in the file, but it is always false. | 22:18 |
| gmcastil | Slart: i'm planning on using fetchmail to get it from a pop server | 22:18 |
| scott25 | i have also tried other livecds and got the same i/o errors | 22:18 |
| Slart | lamalex: hmm.. compiz might change that.. I think it has it's own shortcut key handler thingy | 22:18 |
| lamalex | probably something it does to avoid conflicts, I can't really say | 22:18 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: bam!!! i think it worked | 22:19 |
| crackhead_25_ | restart x worked.. | 22:19 |
| gmcastil | Slart: is mail typically brought to /var/spool or $HOME/mail ? | 22:19 |
| mjw-- | scott25: could be a drive or controller problem then. by other livecds you mean non ubuntu live cds? | 22:19 |
| emily | no | 22:19 |
| Slart | gmcastil: /var/mail seems to be one location | 22:19 |
| emily | cause im special | 22:19 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, we bumbled through, eh? | 22:19 |
| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: somethin like that haha | 22:19 |
| ScreaminIke | emily, move over to the private messaging. | 22:19 |
| crackhead_25_ | thank you much | 22:19 |
| bad_cables | how do i take the CD out of the sources list? | 22:19 |
| Slart | gmcastil: isn't /var/spool for unprocessed mail? | 22:19 |

| crackhead_25_ | SleepingSloth: so basically.. what was that xorg command we did? | 22:20 |
| crackhead_25_ | etc x11 xorg conf.. i swithced to i810.. then got in and installed 915resolution | 22:20 |
| crackhead_25_ | hm.. | 22:20 |
| WeedGrinch | I can make it so i do alt+scroll for opacity, but how do i make them like that by default? | 22:20 |
| mjw-- | scott25: you might have a drive or motherboard problem then. | 22:20 |
| gmcastil | Slart: i think thats what i meant...unprocessed mail (from fetchmail) goes to /var and then the MUA reads it and moves it to $HOME/mail ? | 22:20 |
| crackhead_25_ | i bet that would work on a bunch of other distros that were having the same problem.. | 22:20 |
| bad_cables | this box does not have a CDrom normally, installing ubuntu with a CDrom was a hardware hack, now i am about to put the lid back on and seal the deal but if i install something i dont want it to ask for the CDrom again | 22:20 |
| Slart | gmcastil: sounds good to me.. but I wouldn't know.. I've never set up a mail-system on linux | 22:20 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, yeah - you changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf's driver from 'intel' to 'i810' | 22:20 |
| mjw-- | bad_cables: by default ubuntu will download stuff from the internet, not ask for a CD after the initial installation. | 22:21 |
| crackhead_25_ | yup | 22:21 |
| SleepingSloth | crackhead_25_, well, if you are so inclined, you could document your problem and solution. | 22:21 |
| bad_cables | it installed java and GLAME from the CD | 22:21 |
| bad_cables | it asked me for the CD | 22:21 |
| crackhead_25_ | i did | 22:21 |
| crackhead_25_ | it should be in the wiki | 22:21 |
| crackhead_25_ | pm me? | 22:21 |
| Lettuc3 | Slart i had a look at lyx. has problems rendering eps files. | 22:22 |

| bad_cables | mjw: this is xubuntu 7.10 | 22:22 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: huh? that sounds very weird.. although I've never tried it.. hang on.. I'll fire it up | 22:22 |
| ScreaminIke | emmy... are you reading the pm's i'm sending you? | 22:22 |
| bad_cables | mjw: i dont see anything in /etc/apt/sources.list that sais CDrom | 22:23 |
| Lettuc3 | Slart from the user guide, actually, and whatnot other documents its got. | 22:23 |
| Lettuc3 | Slart im not very used to latex, sounds interesting, though, a bit alien. how would you change fonts for example? things like that... | 22:23 |
| Leg0z | quick question.... if i wanted to set up a samba public folder mirror between two machines... could anyone recommend a good app? | 22:24 |
| bad_cables | mjw: nevermind. i found it... it was uncommented right before the line where it was commented | 22:24 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: Latex is indeed different from Word/oOO.. you focus more on the text than the layout | 22:24 |
| mjw-- | bad_cables: good..mystery solved :) | 22:24 |
| Lettuc3 | Slart and it always gives you something that looks right? | 22:24 |
| bad_cables | it just helps to come in here and rant about all my hangups... :) | 22:25 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: it's more like html... but google for latex tutorials.. there are many out there | 22:25 |
| Dr_willis | Latex is a whole different universe then Word/ooo :) | 22:25 |
| lamalex | got it! | 22:25 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: indeed.. you specify what kind of document you want.. it's in the document, settings menu | 22:25 |
| lamalex | burried deep inside gconf :) | 22:25 |
| Lettuc3 | Slart ah, hadn't thought of tutorials. found that eps stuff? | 22:25 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: but latex is a little bit ot here.. let's not disturb those who sleep =) | 22:26 |
| bad_cables | GO GIANTS | 22:26 |
| Dr_willis | Theres dozens of books written on latex. ;) and dozens of books written with latex. | 22:26 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: just have to find a eps-file first =) | 22:26 |
| Lettuc3 | Slart where can i talk to you about that? ubuntu-offtopic? | 22:26 |
| Slart | Lettuc3: sure | 22:26 |
| Lettuc3 | just for a couple of minutes, i need to hit the sack. 0230 here... hehe. | 22:26 |

| lleoliveirabr | which file system | 23:01 |
| lleoliveirabr | ? | 23:01 |
| lleoliveirabr | the partition | 23:01 |
| insanelyconfused | PriceChild its a verizon phone and connections is not showing up under settings and tools | 23:01 |
| iKap | soundray, also.. would doing a GUI shutdown turn off eth1 as well? or would i have to turn off through terminal? | 23:01 |
| Pelo | Undeadlord, review the info ubotu sent you in private | 23:01 |
| chuck | hi, i have a question, i just burned gutsy gibbon powerpc onto a disc, and booted it up, it opened up yaboot, i hit enter, and it shows like two lines of text then the screen goes blank and it hangs there | 23:01 |
| PriceChild | insanelyconfused, it is there somewhere | 23:01 |
| manduski | howlinghowie, how do i go about doign that? | 23:01 |
| Lokii- | can be w/e or unpartitioned the installer can just format the partion or create it | 23:01 |
| PriceChild | insanelyconfused, consult the razr documentation if you can't find it | 23:01 |
| Lokii- | although i don't think it can resize partitions | 23:01 |
| lleoliveirabr | ha ok | 23:01 |
| Lokii- | so make sure you create one for the install | 23:01 |
| lleoliveirabr | thanks | 23:02 |
| chuck | wow does anyone know? | 23:02 |
| different_realit | Pelo i was told that i need to flash the firmware of the router... isnt that the case ? | 23:02 |

| lleoliveirabr | is it a good idea install server | 23:02 |
| Pelo | chuck, did you burn an image or did you just copy the iso to the cd ? | 23:02 |
| Undeadlord | Pelo: no private messges from anyone ... I will wait :) | 23:02 |
| chuck | Pelo: err | 23:02 |
| howlingmadhowie | manduski: "sudo dhclient eth1" or eth0 or whatever the device is called | 23:02 |
| soundray | iKap: 'gksudo gedit /usr/local/bin/myhalt' to edit the script. Three lines: first '#!/bin/bash', then 'ifconfig eth1 down', then 'shutdown -h now'. Save the file and 'sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/myhalt'. Then you can shutdown with 'sudo myhalt' | 23:02 |
| chuck | Pelo: i doubt yaboot would start if i just copied the iso to the cd | 23:02 |
| Pelo | differentreality, no idea I was just giving you a basic clue , incase you neede to setup static ip or somethjing like that | 23:02 |

| N0ob | Should I get Ubuntu or red hat linux? I'm new | 23:06 |
| DjViper | Gigamo: eeeek no :P | 23:06 |
| PythonRox | hey... apt-get remove will unninstall a program> | 23:06 |
| PythonRox | ? | 23:06 |
| DjViper | N0ob: ubuntu :) | 23:07 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: if you have a support question, just ask it. | 23:07 |
| Pelo | N0ob, if you are new you will probably find ubuntu easier to get started with | 23:07 |
| DjViper | PythonRox: apt-get remove will | 23:07 |
| Undeadlord | Pelo: Thanks, I will do some more research :) | 23:07 |
| howlingmadhowie | N0ob: i think red hat costs something. ubuntu has a great community where you don't have to pay anything | 23:07 |
| bernier | <N0ob> what answer are you waiting for in the ubuntu channel | 23:07 |
| kunzy | Pelo: Hmm, the whole ./configure and make and make install was just spinning tires. But i found a page that tells me to | 23:07 |
| kunzy | sudo apt-get update | 23:07 |
| kunzy | sudo apt-get install mythtv | 23:07 |
| kunzy | It seems to be working, just thought i would let you know | 23:07 |
| gigamonk` | Is something wrong if iwconfig shows an entry for wifi0 and ath0? | 23:07 |
| N0ob | I'm not waiting, people already answered so I'm summing up a new one | 23:07 |
| bernier | <howlingmadhowie> red hat is now fedora which is free | 23:07 |
| N0ob | But it doesn't really matter which to get right? | 23:08 |
| Pelo | bernier, if I were in another channel and I were asked about a starter distro for newcommers I think I would still recommend ubuntu | 23:08 |
| nemilar | that's not true, bernier | 23:08 |
| gigamonk` | where the wifi0 says "no wireless extensions" and ath0 has a bunch of information. | 23:08 |
| sauvin | CentOS and Fedora both are free. RHEL, I believe, you pay for support. | 23:08 |
| N0ob | They are all linux and the same things? | 23:08 |
| bernier | <nemilar> i believe only entreprise version of redhat exists | 23:08 |
| bernier | but i suppose he wants desktop version | 23:08 |
| Pelo | kunzy, apt always works, packages in the repos are precompiled | 23:08 |
| Lokii- | LoL n0ob you shoulda expected only 1 answer from that question being here but actually yeah i have used redhat before and tbch i really don't like the distro at all. on a server nor on a desktop | 23:08 |
| mohbana | oh my god, wat a perfect install i just installed ubuntu on my laptop everything was quick and easy thanks guys | 23:08 |
| nemilar | bernier: yeah, RHEL is Redhat's product...but Redhat and Fedora are not the same | 23:08 |
| iKap | soundray, someone told me its located in /etc/acpi/ | 23:09 |
| Pelo | mohbana, congradulation | 23:09 |
| sauvin | Yea, ubuntu installed //fast// on my laptop, and it runs more than reasonably quick. | 23:09 |
| kunzy | Pelo: Sorry for the noobness, but can you expound on what the heck an apt, repos, and precompiled things are? I am a windows dude walking into linux. | 23:09 |
| nemilar | N0ob: in my experience, Ubuntu is one of the friendliest newbie-friendly distros, but Fedora is a favorite of a lot of people, too | 23:09 |
| * Pelo realy hates how easy ubuntu is to install , no problems means he can't learn anything new | 23:09 | |
| nemilar | Pelo: try LFS ;) | 23:10 |
| mohbana | Pelo, does it automatically connect to the wireless network everytime i sign in and do i need to put in my key in all the time? | 23:10 |
| soundray | iKap: I don't think that's correct | 23:10 |
| sauvin | Or gentoo :D | 23:10 |
| Manad | Hi. Can someone help me run encrypted DVDs? I am unable to run the install-css.sh script, it says "command not found" | 23:10 |
| N0ob | I got this ADSL modem thingie to connect to the internet, I'm too insufficient with my brain to install the D LINK thingie on my windows xp by my self so the ISP guy did it for me, how do I do it in Ubuntu, is there a way to transform the D-LINK set up disk into linux to install the modem drive and connect to the internet? | 23:10 |
| aykutcan | dnz_x: ne ayaksın sen :) | 23:10 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: I don't think there's anything wrong. Just go ahead and configure the ath0 interface. | 23:10 |
| aykutcan | sory everybody | 23:11 |
| nemilar | kunzy: APT is the software package manager. In Windows, you download things from a lot of different sources, or you buy things off the shelf; in Linux, you use the package manager to add/remove pretty much all your programs. The "repos" or repositories are the servers that hold all these software 'packages' | 23:11 |
| gigamonk` | soundray: so I've gone through System -> Addministration -> Network and set it up. | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | Manad, the full path to that script is /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh OR you can enable the medibuntu repo and install the tuff from there. | 23:11 |
| Dr_willis | !dvd | Manad | 23:11 |
| ubotu | Manad: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 23:11 |
| gigamonk` | I can ping the IP address I assigned to it but I can't ping my gateway. | 23:11 |
| kunzy | Pelo: Awesome, now it makes more sense. Thanks | 23:11 |
| Lokii- | n0ob transform no, but there may be a package set for that modem allready created for linux | 23:11 |
| gigamonk` | I've opened up the access point (no security). | 23:12 |
| Lokii- | if so it should be detected and installed when doing the install | 23:12 |
| Pelo | kunzy, on linux in general you can always compile from the source which means you can pretty much install any app on any distro, in ubuntu ( and other high-end distros) , you will have repositories of precomplied packages, meainng that those packages have already been configured to instal with no issues on that particular distro, ubuntu has the largest repositories of all distros, all packages in the ubuntu repos will install on your comp | 23:12 |
| Pelo | seemlessly with no issues, which is why we allways tell ppl to check in add/remove or in synaptic before compling from source | 23:12 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: keep it on one line please | 23:12 |
| N0ob | -o me self | 23:12 |
| N0ob | Nick = subnoob | 23:12 |
| Pelo | kunzy, and apt is the command that handles the install | 23:12 |
| nemilar | Pelo: ubuntu doesn't have the largest repositories | 23:12 |
| === N0ob is now known as subnoob | ||

| howlingmadhowie | Pelo: the ubuntu repos are quite a bit smaller than the gentoo or debian repos... | 23:12 |
| Pelo | nemilar, realy ? | 23:12 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: why a static address? Can't you run DHCP on the gateway? | 23:12 |
| * Pelo stands corrected | 23:12 | |
| sauvin | Fedora's repos are even bigger. | 23:13 |
| Manad | drwillis: I already found those instructions. The script they ask you to run is the one that gives me "command not found" | 23:13 |

| BobboL | erUSUL: libata under lsmod shows the sata_via, sata_promise. | 23:22 |
| howlingmadhowie | nemilar: i'd say that linux is the operating system kernel for the gcc :) | 23:22 |
| BobboL | erUSUL: I try a modprobe | 23:22 |
| elijahhatem | Sorry... | 23:22 |
| chewd | weird thing is... i can see all the boxes on my windows network... just cant get to any shares | 23:22 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: did you build the madwifi driver like they did? | 23:22 |
| kidem | can u see the shares? | 23:23 |
| Lokii- | chewd what i do for my windows shares is throw entries into fstab i didn't bother with installing samba | 23:23 |
| nemilar | howlingmadhowie: I'm not sure what you were meaning to say, but that doesn't make any sense | 23:23 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | eja | 23:23 |
| Lokii- | wasn't needed | 23:23 |
| gigamonk` | soundray: I tried to. | 23:23 |

| sagredo | Hi all. I just installed 7.10 and for some reason my wired internet connection (Cable) is going very slow. | 23:23 |
| Geezle_ | Is there any chance somebody here would have a little time to help me out with a sound problem I'm having? | 23:23 |
| chewd | plz pardon my linux ignorance | 23:23 |
| sagredo | Looking at sys --> admin --> network, my wired connection appears to be in "Roaming Mode" - is this why? | 23:23 |
| Lokii- | chewd sudo nano /etc/fstab | 23:23 |
| kastelo | thx | 23:23 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | ubuntu rulez like metal | 23:23 |
| nemilar | howlingmadhowie: gcc = gnu compiler collection | 23:23 |
| chewd | put that into a console? | 23:23 |

| Sonja | i could print a test page no prob | 23:24 |
| nemilar | howlingmadhowie: but it also runs on windows, various *nix, os x I believe, etc etc | 23:24 |
| Sonja | but normal prints don't go out | 23:24 |
| BobboL | erUSUL: nope modprobe pata_via Module pata_via not found sorry | 23:24 |
| sagredo | Hi all. I just installed 7.10 and for some reason my wired internet connection (Cable) is going very slow. | 23:24 |
| gigamonk` | Actually one of my questions (and why I asked if anyone here was actually using an eee) is whether the madwifi driver was included in the script-pack mentioned in the "Resolved Problems" section or did I need to do both things. | 23:24 |
| sagredo | Looking at sys --> admin --> network, my wired connection appears to be in "Roaming Mode" - is this why? | 23:24 |
| Odd-rationale | MongooseWA: Try looking in ~/.gnome2 | 23:24 |
| gigamonk` | I tried both but maybe in the wrong order. | 23:24 |
| howlingmadhowie | nemilar: gcc can compile for pretty much everything | 23:24 |
| soundray | !sound > Geezle_, follow ubotu's advice (private message), then if you get stuck, come back here and say precisely how. | 23:24 |
| chippy | hello. is there a shortcut for "gnome-open" ? | 23:24 |
| MongooseWA | sweet, thanks Odd-rationale | 23:24 |
| gilda | BobboL, did you do any upgrades lately on your ubuntu - before it stopped detecting the sata drives ? | 23:24 |
| Lokii- | chewd eg for an entry would be.. //192.168.0.194/SharedDocs /media/winshare cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0 | 23:24 |
| gigamonk` | On a different note: I'm using the U.S. English Dvorak layout but in Terminal (at least) it seems when I do ctrl-C I have to use the Qwerty C. | 23:24 |
| subnoob | Does windows suck? | 23:25 |
| danbhfive | chippy: open, I believe | 23:25 |
| nemilar | howlingmadhowie: yeah...but it doesn't make any sense to say that linux is the kernel for gcc | 23:25 |
| BobboL | gilda: I just put a pci sata/pata card in :) | 23:25 |
| rsk | subnoob: don't troll | 23:25 |
| gigamonk` | I don't have that problem on my desktop Ubuntu box. | 23:25 |

| sagredo | Hi all. I just installed 7.10 and for some reason my wired internet connection (Cable) is going very slow. | 23:25 |
| sagredo | Looking at sys --> admin --> network, my wired connection appears to be in "Roaming Mode" - is this why? | 23:25 |
| chewd | u put that into terminal... got a bunch of gobbledy gook | 23:25 |
| subnoob | rsk+ whats troll | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find gcc | 23:25 |
| ubotu | Found: gcc, gcc-3.3, gcc-3.3-base, gcc-3.3-doc, gcc-3.4 (and 32 others) | 23:25 |
| chippy | danbhfive, open didnt work. | 23:25 |
| danbhfive | sagredo: no, I dont think thats the problem | 23:25 |
| rsk | ok nevermind subnoob | 23:25 |
| PriceChild | !offtopic | subnoob | 23:25 |
| gilda | BobboL, i had some issues with sata on my ubuntu gutsy install i had to append the grub loader with all_generic_ide for it to see my sata drives | 23:25 |
| sagredo | danbhfive: any idea? :) | 23:25 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | kubuntu is really? | 23:25 |
| Lokii- | chewd did you type in terminal sudo nano /etc/fstab | 23:25 |
| Sonja | i can't print :( | 23:25 |
| gilda | otherwise they were not detected | 23:25 |
| howlingmadhowie | nemilar: i think you can build the linux kernel with the sun c compiler as well, but i may be wrong | 23:26 |
| Undeadlord | sagredo: I think that means it will try to connect to any wired network that it senses | 23:26 |
| rsk | subnoob: i dont think it sucks but ubuntu does everything i do better than windows | 23:26 |
| chewd | lemme try again | 23:26 |
| ubotu | subnoob: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:26 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | sonja: you must cosar the impostazion | 23:26 |
| Lokii- | chewd nano is a file editor like vim | 23:26 |

| Geezle_ | I'm a bit of a newb with sorting stuff like this out, so I might need my hand held a bit | 23:27 |
| soundray | !intelhda > Geezle_, does this factoid apply perhaps? | 23:27 |
| chewd | can i just get nano thru synaptic? | 23:27 |
| Lokii- | chewd sorta yeah its commented | 23:27 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | sonja: you must go on system/admin/printer | 23:27 |
| chewd | yea i dont see anywhere that says just get on with it & install | 23:27 |
| Lokii- | chewd brb going outside for a smoke you can pm me if you like | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Geezle_: Another good page is.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems | 23:27 |
| gilda | chewd, nano is in ubuntu install default in the command line | 23:27 |
| BobboL | erUSUL: that is already loaded.. part of ide_core in lsmod | 23:27 |
| Geezle_ | Nope, it's not an intel sound device | 23:27 |
| Undeadlord | sagredo: That I am not sure ... have you tested it online at ISP test sites? | 23:27 |
| yaser | hi, bash-completion isnt working correctly in my session(it does in remaining session), which config file should i check? | 23:27 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | sonja: and insert your printer | 23:27 |
| MongooseWA | can somebody help me get the new style last.fm rhythmbox plugin working plz? | 23:27 |
| chewd | gilda: so youre saying ive already got it? | 23:28 |
| sagredo | Undeadlord: Nope. | 23:28 |
| gilda | chewd, in your 'terminal' you should have nano | 23:28 |
| Lokii- | you should already have it but on some off chance do sudo apt-get install nano | 23:28 |
| Geezle_ | Thanks Jack_sparrow, I'll check out that link and see if there's anything useful in there for me | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:28 |
| chewd | gilda: ok im not sure what that means, or how it helps | 23:29 |
| erUSUL | BobboL: but no /dev/hdxx for the disks :( | 23:29 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | sonja: are you in? | 23:29 |
| yaser | hi, bash-completion isnt working correctly in my session(it does in remaining session), which config file should i check? | 23:29 |
| gilda | lol np's chewd | 23:29 |
| BobboL | erUSUL: nope :( | 23:29 |
| soundray | yaser: don't just repeat, rephrase. It's not clear what you mean. | 23:29 |
| jetscreamer | ~/.profile i think, yaser | 23:29 |
| chewd | im just trying to get to my windows shares again.. it was working until just the other day | 23:30 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: see also maybe ~/.bash_profile and/or /etc/profile | 23:30 |
| yaser | soundray, why is it not clear? | 23:30 |
| chewd | i think some update broke it | 23:30 |
| soundray | yaser: bash has no "sessions" | 23:30 |
| Undeadlord | sagredo: I might give that a try first .. see if you see anything that looks slow | 23:30 |
| yaser | jetscreamer, ok ill copy them from a new session | 23:30 |
| BobboL | erUSUL: I check the jumpers on the drives | 23:30 |
| Undeadlord | sagredo: I think speedtest.net is quite good | 23:30 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: just edit/view them, the history setting is in there iirc | 23:31 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | sonja | 23:31 |
| yaser | soundray, bash configuration is session dependent | 23:31 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: the /etc/profile would be global | 23:31 |
| soundray | yaser: what do you mean by "session" | 23:31 |
| chewd | i have the windows shares mapped to desktop shortcuts... they were working great | 23:31 |
| yaser | jetscreamer, ok | 23:31 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: it used to be ~/.bash_profile but they have moved to ~/.profile | 23:31 |
| jetscreamer | so local | 23:31 |
| yaser | soundray, user session | 23:31 |
| cjones | what is xgl? | 23:31 |
| kastelo | how do i install an SB live 24bit external (USB) plz | 23:32 |
| soundray | yaser: gnome? | 23:32 |
| kastelo | yes | 23:32 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: the ~ is local/user, obviously | 23:32 |
| yaser | soulrider, yep | 23:32 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | no | 23:32 |
| gilda | BobboL, try changing ur /boot/grub/menu.lst so where it has the kernel line it has all_generic_ide at the end - then reboot see if that works | 23:32 |

| soundray | jetscreamer: are you sure he's not going to muck things up based on your advice? | 23:32 |
| yaser | jetscreamer, i understand, but i think the simplest is to copy those files from other user | 23:32 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: be sure and back up the files before you edit/copy | 23:32 |
| yaser | jetscreamer, ok thanks | 23:33 |
| jetscreamer | yaser: yes sounds simple/workable.. dont forget the backups | 23:33 |

| andi5 | FYI: the two links README and FAQ at the top of http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ are dead... who should be contacted about that? webmaster@ubuntu.com? | 23:36 |

| soundray | stefka: man usermod, look for the -l option | 23:37 |
| subnoob | man usermod, look for the -l option | 23:37 |
| rainwalker | Jack_Sparrow: nevermind, I thought you had said to type "wine in notepad" not "wine notepad" | 23:37 |
| subnoob | good job answering before me soundray | 23:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rainwalker: np | 23:37 |
| stefka | soundray: dude i'm a newbie :( can you tell me what correct to write in terminal? | 23:37 |
| jetscreamer | stefka: easiest to create a new user, cp ~/.* to the new user dir (chown to taste) and userdel username | 23:37 |
| chewd | odd thing is... i can see the workgroup just fine... i can see all the boxes on the workgroup... but i open em & it goes busy for a sec & then nothing | 23:37 |

| soundray | jetscreamer: that's just crazy | 23:38 |
| mohbana__ | hey guys where can i find the log for synaptic? | 23:38 |
| stefka | -l, --login NEW_LOGIN | 23:38 |
| stefka | The name of the user will be changed from LOGIN to NEW_LOGIN. | 23:38 |
| stefka | Nothing else is changed. In particular, the user’s home directory | 23:38 |
| stefka | name should probably be changed to reflect the new login name. | 23:38 |
| stefka | ohh sorry for paste really :(( | 23:38 |
| andi5 | creeed: do you need to enable port forwarding in a router? | 23:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rainwalker: If nothing happens, something is wrong with your wine install | 23:38 |
| jetscreamer | just call me psyco | 23:39 |
| stefka | soundray: i wants to change the username only the nAME nothing more nothing to delete in that user :S | 23:39 |
| rainwalker | Jack_Sparrow: would it be something wrong with my wine install or the install of the app I'm trying to run? | 23:39 |
| stefka | only the name | 23:39 |
| stefka | how i can change it? | 23:39 |
| creeed | andi5, I dont know, I'm in a LAN and I dont know how the router is configured here? | 23:39 |
| BobboL | erUSUL Gilda: nope didn't work.. gonna try to get you guys the dmesg | 23:39 |
| kastelo | how do i install an SB live 24bit external (USB) in gnome plz | 23:39 |
| gigamonk` | stefka: did you read the section on the -l option in the usermod manpage? | 23:39 |
| soundray | stefka: I know. Don't mistake my advice for jetscreamer's | 23:39 |
| creeed | andi5, is possible that the router refused the connection from the outside? | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rainwalker: If wine notepad does not work it is wine.... if it works and wine your program doesnt work.. it is your program | 23:40 |
| gilda | did you forware the port creeed ? | 23:40 |
| insanelyconfused | why is my phone isnt connecting to moto4lin | 23:40 |
| subnoob | ok you guys I'm going to install ubuntu on my computer, what if my hard drive or something gets fried somewhere along the way and I wont be able to connect to the internet even from windows what do I do? | 23:40 |
| andi5 | creeed: well... i suppose www.whatismyip.com returns the ip of the external interface of your router then, right? ... there is no way to avoid configuring your router, as it seems | 23:40 |
| chewd | is there a samba configuration tool somewhere? | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rainwalker: Kinda why I said to run wine notepad ..was to test your wine install. | 23:40 |
| rainwalker | Jack_Sparrow: well I've run other programs already (not with the command line, but with wine) so I think it's the app I'm trying to use (rhapsody) | 23:40 |
| mohbana__ | did anyone get my message above? | 23:40 |
| stefka | gigamonk`: yes i read it but i'm confused i dont know how to change the name of my user ( the user its: stefka and i wants to be the user: mnikic ) | 23:40 |
| stefka | how to change only the name | 23:40 |
| stefka | nothing more | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rainwalker: ask in wineh for best answers for wine problems | 23:41 |
| rainwalker | Jack_Sparrow: where? | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rainwalker: /j #winehq | 23:41 |
| jetscreamer | #winehq | 23:41 |
| soundray | stefka: 'sudo usermod -l stefka mnikic' | 23:41 |
| gigamonk` | stefka: seems like "usermod -l mnikic stefka" should do the trick. | 23:41 |
| gigamonk` | But that's just based on reading the man page. | 23:41 |
| stefka | okay so the password will be? | 23:41 |
| andi5 | creeed: but maybe i did not understand you right... you try to contact your pc inside a lan from the internet, right? | 23:41 |
| TOML | hello, anyone here know of any good free bootloaders? | 23:41 |
| mohbana__ | how do i access my install log, for synaptic? | 23:42 |
| gigamonk` | Keep in mind that (as the man page says) that it won't rename the home directory which will be odd. | 23:42 |
| creeed | andi5, yes | 23:42 |
| rsk | TOML: grub | 23:42 |
| Sonja | DivineSpectrum_ it's printed before. it doesn't print any more :( | 23:42 |
| TOML | rsk, cna i query? | 23:42 |
| rsk | no | 23:42 |
| gigamonk` | stefka: probably your own. | 23:42 |
| TOML | so i can ask mroe about it? | 23:42 |
| TOML | ok, can u explain grub then? | 23:42 |
| TOML | does it recognize vista as well? | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !grub | 23:42 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 23:42 |
| stefka | ~$ usermod -l mnikic warchild | 23:42 |
| stefka | usermod: unable to lock password file | 23:42 |
| rsk | type grub in google and hit 'im lucky' | 23:42 |
| stefka | what that means? | 23:42 |
| andi5 | creeed: so how should your router know where to send incoming connections on port 22 if you do not configure that... the default behavior simply is to reject or drop packets :-) | 23:42 |
| rsk | should be loads of info | 23:42 |
| gigamonk` | stefka: you may also want the -d option. | 23:42 |
| TOML | grub wouldnt work for me before then | 23:42 |
| soundray | stefka: then you will have to 'sudo mv /home/stefka /home/mnikic ; sudo chown -R mnikic:mnikic /home/mnikic' | 23:43 |
| DivineSpectrum_ | sonja: you must install the drivers for the printer..what kind of printer have you got? | 23:43 |
| stefka | i'm confused | 23:43 |
| stefka | :S | 23:43 |
| stefka | how to change only the username? | 23:43 |
| stefka | a | 23:43 |
| TOML | last time i tried it, on a XP comp, ,it wouldnt recognize my XP | 23:43 |
| gigamonk` | stefka: did you use "sudo" or run the command I gave as root? | 23:43 |
| soundray | stefka: make a decision about who you are going to listen to | 23:43 |

| creeed | andi5, but I can connect to my computer from the datacenter of the university, witch is on the same subnetz where my computer is | 23:44 |
| soundray | stefka: then you will have to 'sudo mv /home/stefka /home/mnikic ; sudo chown -R mnikic:mnikic /home/mnikic' | 23:45 |
| Geezle | The sound had been working but I think stopped after an update and I didn't notice at first | 23:45 |
| TOML | your right | 23:45 |
| Geezle | I've since reinstalled Ubuntu 7.10 from scratch but no luck | 23:45 |

| satorious | just installed ubuntu to a new hard drive, but it's not detecting windows on the other one. how can we get it to see windows? | 23:49 |
| soundray | stefka: now you need to rename your home directory from /home/warchild to /home/mnikic | 23:49 |
| Gnine | oh no | 23:49 |

| creeed | andi5, I cant see into the ports of the router of my LAN with nmap, is it possible with other tool? | 23:50 |
| stefka | soundray: tell me the command | 23:50 |
| tinman | I am trying to install flashplugin and I am not able to do so, | 23:50 |
| tinman | <+fastfinger> md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz | 23:50 |
| soundray | stefka: now you're ordering me around | 23:50 |
| andi5 | creeed: what does www.whatismyip.com tell you? | 23:50 |
| gilda | creeed, can you not just log into your router ? | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tinman: Flash is broken.. still.. | 23:50 |
| stefka | soundray: i'm sorry i just ask :S | 23:50 |
| satorious | ompaul: the problem is not recognizing ntfs. rather the entire other hard drive is not being seen. hardware information identifies the drive, but trying to access /dev/sda1 gives no results | 23:50 |
| tinman | Jack_Sparrow: ahh thanks | 23:50 |
| Undeadlord | tinman: I have been having the same issue ... may be a bigger issue ... | 23:50 |
| WGGMk | Anyone know what the fix is for Frostwire not seeing Sun Java 6?? I cant find it online anymore | 23:50 |
| lazy247x | how to i keep cairo-clock lock in place in desktop?? | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tinman: You can get it from adobe and install it manually | 23:50 |
| stefka | soundray: but my linux box now is not good i need help to fix it i can't open any files :S | 23:51 |
| fulio | Can anyone help me with this, MY compiz-fusion setting manager wont open.. any ideas? | 23:51 |
| gigamonk` | soundray: So when I turn on my wireless connection in the Network Settings applet ifconfig shows a new interface ath0:avah which has some weird address (in the 169.254 subnet which is not mine. | 23:51 |
| creeed | gilda, I cant is not mine? | 23:51 |
| ompaul | satorious, that document is how it does ntfs work - it is the work of the community please read it and carry out its instructions | 23:51 |
| Mach3 | I finally got the official nvidia driver installed on my system (thanks to envy), now i want to try out some of these "desktop effects" that i should be able to use now. How do I actually get the effects to work? I see a config utility for them, and under the "Actions" tab there are lots of keyboard shortcuts, but none of these work. What needs to be done? | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fulio: Ask in #Compiz | 23:51 |
| gilda | and your trying to access your ssh port 22 via outside connections creeed ? | 23:51 |
| soundray | stefka: you're impatient and rude. Say please if you need to ask for help. The command is 'sudo mv /home/warchild /home/mnikic' | 23:51 |
| fulio | Jack_Sparrow, ok ty | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mach3: envy is a terrible thing to do to your install.. | 23:52 |
| gigamonk` | Which would explain why I can't ping 192.168.168.1 (my router) | 23:52 |
| stefka | mv: cannot stat `/home/warchild': No such file or directory | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !envy | 23:52 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 23:52 |
| insanelyconfused | how do i install cdc_acm support from the kernel? | 23:52 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: that's okay -- while NetworkManager can't see your router, it assigns its own private address | 23:52 |
| Mach3 | Jack_Sparrow: no, envy is the only way i've found to get the nvidia driver installed without it crashing the xserver upon reboot | 23:52 |
| andi5 | creeed: if you are behing a snat'ting router that you cannot configure then i do not know how you can resolve that :-( .... or can you ssh into some gate host? | 23:52 |
| ompaul | satorious, if sudo fdisk -l << that is a lower case L .. does not show windows you have no windows partition - you are into looking for backups | 23:52 |
| mohbana__ | how do i access my removal log, for synaptic? | 23:52 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: for your wireless to work, you would need to install the proper driver | 23:52 |
| Mach3 | Jack_Sparrow: why do you say it's terrible? | 23:53 |
| gigamonk` | soundray: so any idea why NetworkManager can't see my router? | 23:53 |
| === rekon_ is now known as rekon | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | Mach3: Unfortunately, you still dont have it working right.. and once you use envy or automatix.. we cant help you | 23:53 |
| creeed | andi5, I see that the port 20 is opened on the router! | 23:53 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: try the instructions on the page you mentioned earlier | 23:53 |
| gigamonk` | (Also, shouldn't it be using an address from one of the private address spaces?) | 23:53 |
| stefka | soundray: the error its mv: cannot stat `/home/warchild': No such file or directory | 23:53 |
| creeed | gilda, yes but I cant! | 23:53 |
| satorious | ompaul: i see this: /dev/sda1 1 30401 244196001 7 HPFS/NTFS | 23:53 |
| soundray | gigamonk`: it is one of those | 23:53 |
| stefka | soundray: :( what to do now please can you help me :? | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !automatix | 23:53 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 23:53 |
| ompaul | Mach3, it breaks machines on people and we don't fix em cos we don't know what randomness they have under taken | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mach3: Read the link for automatix | 23:53 |
| ompaul | satorious, so work with the wiki page | 23:54 |
| soundray | stefka: do a 'grep mnikic /etc/passwd' and tell me what it says | 23:54 |
| andi5 | mohbana__: does /var/log/dpkg.log contain the information you are searching for? | 23:54 |
| insanelyconfused | !moto4lin\ | 23:54 |
| creeed | gilda, I can access it just from the network of the university, witch my lan a part of it | 23:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about moto4lin\ - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:54 |
| insanelyconfused | !moto4lin | 23:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about moto4lin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:54 |
| gilda | ya creeed we need to make sure to get the port strictly forwarding to ur computer - but if you cannot access the router then you will not be able to forward the port thru | 23:54 |
| gilda | so you will be inaccessible via the netw | 23:54 |
| chewd | good thing about superbowl sunday.. wicked-fast downloads :) | 23:54 |
| gilda | net* | 23:54 |
| ompaul | insanelyconfused, msg the bot until you got the right factoid - always a useful thing | 23:54 |
| stefka | soundray: mnikic:x:1000:1000:warchild,,,:/home/warchild:/bin/bash | 23:54 |
| Gnine | dont do that ompaul , i need ubotu | 23:55 |
| Gnine | j/k :-P | 23:55 |
| gigamonk` | soundray: really. I thought the private address spaces all started with 10 172 or 192. Not that that matters a great deal. | 23:55 |
| * ompaul looks at Gnine and raises one eyebrow | 23:55 | |
| creeed | gilda, how can I find out if the router dont forward connections to my port? | 23:55 |
| WGGMk | Anyone know what the fix is for Frostwire not seeing Sun Java 6?? I cant find it online anymore | 23:55 |

| ubotu | WGGMk: frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 23:56 |
| andi5 | creeed: you can be sure about that if you did not ask for it already :) | 23:56 |
| gilda | gigamonk`, are you not able to access your router with ur network connection ? | 23:56 |
| histo | t | 23:56 |
| ompaul | creeed, and expect to loose some more computer privs cos they don't like that kinda thing | 23:56 |
| creeed | gilda, but the port 22 is open on the router, so you mean FORWARDING is necessary too | 23:57 |
| WGGMk | ompaul: thank you, but ive tried to update the alternatives.. with no avail | 23:57 |
| stefka | soundray: are you here? | 23:57 |
| gigamonk` | gilda: not via my wireless interface. | 23:57 |
| soundray | stefka: what does 'ls /home/mnikic' give you -- an error or a listing? Don't paste. And be PATIENT | 23:57 |
| gilda | the port needs to know what address to direct the traffic to creeed | 23:57 |
| soundray | stefka: you're not the only person I'm helping | 23:57 |
| insanelyconfused | can i get help understanding this forum? http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/KRZR_K1 | 23:57 |
| andi5 | creeed: tcpdump (or wireshark) can tell you whether anything tries to knock on your port 22, if you are not sure | 23:57 |
