|---|---|---|
| LOLpc | axel_:thanks that will probably help | 00:00 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> you dont have any valid ip address assigned to you, those 169.x.x are bogus ones, | 00:00 |
| toresn | happyface_, doesn't require some configuration? | 00:00 |
| axel_ | LOLpc: I think the installation from USB-stick would be best. | 00:00 |
| toresn | +it | 00:00 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: so should i go to static ip? | 00:00 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: i'm using dhcp | 00:00 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> it is up to you, you tell us how your network layout is, and then we can suggest | 00:01 |
| LOLpc | axel_:i dont have one | 00:01 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> if you are using dhcp, its not setup correctly | 00:01 |
| speedhunt3r | samba is really annoying me, ever since the updates it has stopped detecting any pc's on the network... I can't even see other pcs running ubuntu let alone windows...does anyone else have the same problem? | 00:01 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: yea, i'm using dhcp (well my other windows computers are) | 00:01 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> then you must activate your dchlient on this ubuntu | 00:02 |
| LOLpc | axel_:i could maybe use my ipod, but i would have to reformat it | 00:02 |
| gnutronic | Feebz13 - try this in a terminial 'ps aux |grep dhclient' to see if the dhcp process is running. | 00:02 |
| magick | Is there anyway to use WINS resolution on a windows network? So I don't have to manually add computers to my hosts file? | 00:02 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> how my puters you hve on your network? | 00:02 |
| LOLpc | i jsut remembered i have an ipod not in use | 00:02 |
| amenado | magick-> you tried asking folks at #windows ? | 00:02 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> how many puters you have on your network? | 00:03 |
| magick | amenado, i'm on an ubuntu machine and can't "ping computername" | 00:03 |
| FBIGuy | amenado: people know more about windows here XD | 00:03 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: 5 | 00:03 |
| axel_ | LOLpc: Is Windows installed on the computer? | 00:04 |
| amenado | i like this idea on fedora, you a copy of a dvd.iso in a directory and tell the installer it is there | 00:04 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: uhm just read the thread, i believe it explained well what's needed and what's not so necessary | 00:04 |
| Feebz13 | gnutronic: the output of that commend was 6075 0.0 0.1 2976 752 pts/0 R+ 19:03 dhcclient | 00:04 |
| norty | I have some links in my places menu that I dont want there anymore, how do I get rid of them? I tried right clicking but they option to remove them is not there | 00:04 |
| amenado | magick-> if you cant ping, troubleshoot, make sure yours have an ip address assigned and a route to get to the network | 00:05 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: when in doubt just shout in here what's "such and such" supposed to be and etc... | 00:05 |
| b4l74z4r | i think its unreasonable that tomboy notes should use 18.5mb ram | 00:05 |
| magick | amenado, I can ping my windows computers, but I want to be able to use their computer names instead of ip. I have no way of finding out their IPs | 00:05 |
| gnutronic | Feebz13 - thats good then. i didnt catch all your posts, have you tried sudo if-up eth0 [or whichever interface applies? | 00:05 |
| amenado | magick-> you tried asking folks at #windows ? | 00:06 |
| magick | no, I will | 00:06 |
| * amenado shows the gateway to magick :P | 00:06 | |
| norty | I have some links in my places menu that I dont want there anymore, how do I get rid of them? I tried right clicking but they option to remove them is not there | 00:07 |
| Feebz13 | gnutronic: command not found | 00:07 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> no - on ifup | 00:07 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | yell0w: the only service that i changed was gdm, in the article it says when the service should be running but not at which priority, i've set it to 50 at the moment for run levels 2,3,4,5 | 00:07 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | yell0w: i suppose the question i'm asking is, could someone look at what settings they have for gdm | 00:08 |
| gnutronic | Feebz13 - sorry, my mistake it's 'ifup interface' | 00:08 |
| Feebz13 | amendo/gnu: unkown interface eth0=eth0 | 00:08 |
| Feebz13 | amendo/gnu: it's usually eth0 | 00:09 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> thats an ethernet ? btw.. nick is amenado | 00:09 |
| gnutronic | Feebz13 - I'll let amenado help you I didn't catch your entire problem. | 00:09 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: sorry. yes, ethernet pci card | 00:10 |
| amenado | gnutronic-> we can tag team..four eyes better than two | 00:10 |
| bwf | magick, you need to disable the windows firewall or allow netbios requests | 00:10 |
| gnutronic | TheRealFaceOfBoe - why change gdm? thats gnome display manager? | 00:11 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> try /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:11 |
| magick | bwf, by default will ubuntu send out netbios requests? | 00:11 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | gnutronic: i was exploring whether i would prefer a cli login and if it was much quicker | 00:11 |
| Mhyro | brasil | 00:12 |
| bwf | not sure, I just know windows uses netbios to resolve computer names | 00:12 |
| bwf | if your not using dns | 00:12 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: 3 K01 K01 S13 S13 S13 S13 K01 | 00:12 |

| yell0w | that's what's shown on my sysvconfig | 00:12 |
| white_eagle | how can I use another set of icons, I moved the icons set to ~/.icons but I don't know what to do next | 00:12 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: ifdown: permission denied ifup: permission denied open: permission denied | 00:13 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | yell0w: fantastic, cheers | 00:13 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: minus the first 3 | 00:13 |

| ubotu | Mhyro: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 00:13 |
| gnutronic | Feebz13 - use 'sudo' | 00:13 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 00:13 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: np | 00:13 |
| Mhyro | :o '< ok thanks | 00:13 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: says OK ! | 00:14 |
| lukasz | Evrything is fine now | 00:14 |
| lukasz | :) | 00:14 |
| lukasz | I know now what to touch and not | 00:14 |
| lukasz | :) | 00:14 |
| etfb | Is there a log for the Adept Updater? I could have sworn I got a kernel upgrade yesterday, but my Grub menu is unchanged so I want to check what was actually downloaded. | 00:14 |
| lukasz | Amarok crashes by the way | 00:14 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | yell0w: what did you use to get that info, a terminal command? | 00:14 |
| * amenado bets dime to a nickel, lukasz is going to touch it anyways | 00:14 | |
| magick | bwf, thanks for the help. i googled netbios and wins and found it. Basically winbind is the package you need fyi. | 00:14 |
| gnutronic | etfb - that was a kernel header update, not the kernel itself. | 00:14 |
| axel_ | I've got a problem with Kile. When I try to compile a document with citations I get a warning saying that there was no .nls-file. Can anybody help me cofiguring Kile? | 00:14 |
| happyface__ | amenado: moving it from roam mode to manual really messed it up... nm would freeze and when I logged out then in, it wouldn't load my system. I restarted, removed the new stuff from /etc/network/interfaces, and it works again... and I can magically ping my router now | 00:15 |
| white_eagle | how can I use another set of icons, I moved the icons set to ~/.icons but I don't know what to do next | 00:15 |
| etfb | gnutronic: Ah, thanks. That's less mysterious then. I thought I must have broken my menu.lst somehow. | 00:15 |
| amenado | happyface__-> bottom line it is working | 00:15 |
| happyface__ | yep, but technically everything is the same, so it shouldn't work... | 00:15 |
| gnutronic | white_eagle - change themes in theme manager. much safer that way | 00:16 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: still not working :( | 00:16 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: sysvconfig | 00:16 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: should be in repos with the same name | 00:16 |
| amenado | happyface__-> pastebin those same files and commands I asked you earlier, let us see if they are same still | 00:16 |
| noodles12 | where can i go to see all the restricted modules loaded on my gutsy boot-up? | 00:16 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: the sudo command worked and reconfired the netwrok interface however | 00:16 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> is an ip address assigned? | 00:16 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | yell0w: great, i'll check it out | 00:17 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> lest you have an ip address, it will now work | 00:17 |
| happyface__ | amenado: I disabled my eithernet NIC before, too... now 'route -n' is different an doesn't include eth0... that could be it | 00:17 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: np | 00:17 |
| etfb | Is Adept Updater KDE-specific? What's the standard updater for (Gnome) Ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| LOLpc | okay, i'm going to try and boot unbuntu from an old ipod | 00:17 |
| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: i believe it was mentioned in that thread i gave you too | 00:18 |
| etfb | LOLpc: Woohoo! I want to see that! | 00:18 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: still getting weird ip. 169 | 00:18 |
| gnutronic | etfb - synaptic | 00:18 |
| etfb | gnutronic: Right - I'll ask in #kubuntu then. Thanks. | 00:18 |
| LOLpc | etfb: well, i can't use my disk drive, and i dont have a USB drive | 00:18 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: still no gateway either | 00:18 |

| Feebz13 | ameando: yea, it appears so...weird thing is it was working | 00:19 |
| amenado | happyface__-> i guess having it in roaming mode did not put an entry to your interfaces file, kind of odd....but..it works | 00:20 |
| Feebz13 | amenado: let me see if i can find another NIC around here | 00:20 |
| amenado | Feebz13-> which ubuntu version | 00:20 |

| yell0w | TheRealFaceOfBoe: should function similarly though | 00:21 |

| NForc3r | thanx | 00:47 |
| luca | actually i think my monitor is not set | 00:47 |
| crayzee | NForc3r, sounds like the NVidia "out of memory" bug under compiz? | 00:47 |

| Setag | WeI have the same with my ati | 00:48 |

| ubotu | lilg111111: 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 | 00:49 |
| sslashes | xsetroot started not working today, with xhost + (all hosts/users) - xsetroot does not print and error and exits cleanly (return code 0) - any ideas (by the way, it does not let me do anything - change cursor/bgcolor/etc) | 00:49 |
| luca | no but i'm just after connecting my tv to my laptot to watch a movie... | 00:49 |
| Setag | I have the same | 00:49 |
| trippss | any ideas why i completely lose my desktop and cannot get it back without a reboot when my DVI cable becomes unplugged? Ctrl+Alt+Bksp doesn't work, switching desktops doesn't work. nothing. | 00:49 |
| Setag | So I think thats it | 00:49 |
| Setag | When I unplug my s-video, and change it (the reslotution) it stays like it want | 00:50 |
| Setag | Try it without the s-video or TV cabel, and see if thats the problem. | 00:51 |
| luca | setag are you talking to me? | 00:51 |
| Setag | yes | 00:51 |
| luca | ah ok | 00:51 |
| Setag | I have the same thing | 00:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !who | 00:51 |
| ubotu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 00:51 |
| mixandgo | hello, anyone has any idea why in ubuntu 8.04 evolution won't send/receive mail ? | 00:51 |
| Setag | I heard I have to change a config, but I don´t know how | 00:52 |
| Thorsten11 | whats going on theanswer | 00:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mixandgo: No idea, but they will know in #Ubuntu+1 | 00:52 |
| trippss | also, from time to time the display just blanks when using the same Dell DVI monitor. didn't when using a sony monitor. very weird . . | 00:53 |
| luca | well im trying to go in System - Administration - Screen and graphics but it doesn't open any window, or i think it open it but goes out of the screen | 00:53 |

| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:53 |
| luca | and i had a tooreboot | 00:53 |
| luca | i had a reboot too | 00:54 |
| trippss | i've read where you should insert Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP" when using DVI displays - what does this do? | 00:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trippss: I dont know what it does, but I can tell you how to do that. | 00:55 |
| danielski_pl | how do i find out the UUID of sdb1? | 00:55 |
| Setag | Luca, did you fix the problem? I am wondering, becourse i have the same problem | 00:55 |
| jetscreamer | ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 00:55 |
| jetscreamer | danielski_pl: ^^ | 00:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 00:55 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 00:55 |
| trippss | Jack_Sparrow: it just goes in the montor section of xorg.conf right? | 00:55 |
| Setag | ya | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | trippss: yep | 00:56 |
| danielski_pl | jetscreamer: thanx | 00:56 |

| zelrikriando | ok I see | 00:58 |
| Setag | Whats missing, luca? | 00:58 |
| luca | Setag, maybe I modified the kind of monitor or messed with the drivers i don't know | 00:58 |
| danielski_pl | sdb1 uuid wont show, its file sys is fat16 | 00:59 |
| luca | Setag, i canno't modified from System - Preferences | 00:59 |
| Setag | Luca, what kind of videocard do you have? | 00:59 |
| danielski_pl | disk manager cant find it either | 00:59 |
| luca | Setag, Intel media graphic accelerator | 00:59 |

| bastid_raZor | i recently put a 3.5 floppy back in a box with 7.04 installed.. i can get a directory listing of the files on the floppy but can't copy any off.. i get an I/O error.. why might i be able to view the contents but not copy them? | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: did you use ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid | 01:00 |
| zelrikriando | Webu: it seems to be desert there | 01:01 |
| Setag | Luca, this is the info I am trying to use myself; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResoluti onHowto | 01:01 |
| Webu | zelrikriando, try to tell a bit more about your problem just in case. | 01:01 |
| Setag | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 01:01 |
| danielski_pl | Jack_sparrow: yep | 01:01 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: typical error manifestation of floppy disks. | 01:01 |
| Setag | I have to go, I have never seen IRC before, very cool. have a nice day, bye all. | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: It shows the drive but not the uuid? | 01:02 |
| bastid_raZor | cosmodad; okay, any idea as to how i can get the file i need from the floppy? | 01:02 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: plus, directory listings only require metadata reading, while filesystem copy operations work on payload data. | 01:02 |
| danielski_pl | do u want me to pastebin my fstab?, Jack_Sparrow : it doesntshow either | 01:02 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: you could try to save the files with dd_rescue first, and then do some fsck'ing afterwards. | 01:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: No... does it show in fdisk -l last letter is L the drive not the uuid.. | 01:03 |
| bastid_raZor | cosmodad; okay.. will try that. thanks | 01:04 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: you are welcome. | 01:04 |

| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: Appologies for my system lagging. I am upgrading a different box | 01:07 |
| maxownz | i looked through the preferences of XChat and didn't see where I could specify the proxy... am i missing something? | 01:07 |
| Starnestommy | maxownz: under network setup | 01:07 |
| newbie | how can I reinstall ubuntu w/o loosing my files? Is it possible? It has been failing and I want to reinstall the OS, but I do not want to format | 01:07 |
| Q_Continuum | maxownz, Settings->Preferences->Network->Network Setup | 01:07 |

| ConstyXIV | what sort of note taking apps are there that aren't tomboy? | 01:08 |

| maxownz | Q_Continuum: yea i just picked that up off the ubuntu page but I don't have a Settings tab unless there's another window i can't see | 01:08 |
| danielski_pl | Jack_Sparrow: thats ok, do u need my fstab? | 01:08 |
| Q_Continuum | maxownz, its a menu option at the top - not a tab. | 01:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: Sorry.. can not and | 01:09 |
| Q_Continuum | Alt+E should pull up the 'settings' menu | 01:09 |
| Starnestommy | maxownz: are you using regular xchat or xchat-gnome? | 01:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: hold for a sec.. let me look in here first | 01:09 |
| maxownz | xchat-gnome | 01:09 |
| MaxPayne | If you are using xchat-gnome, then you might have to check in gconf-editor? | 01:09 |
| cosmodad | newbie: why do you want to reinstall? | 01:09 |
| cosmodad | newbie: unlike Windows, you don't need to reinstall every now and then to keep the OS runnable. | 01:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: I dont need the fstab... yet.. which drive is giving the problems | 01:11 |
| trippss | i've got an annoying problem I cannot seem to solve for the life of me. connecting to irc on my ubuntu box takes forever (e.g., 10 minutes, 30 minutes, etc.) and using mirc in wine always connects faster and stays connected longer than any other native irc client (pidgin, xchat, etc.). Other win boxes on same network connect immediately without problem. i'm not running a firewall either. any ideas? | 01:11 |
| Starnestommy | maxownz: I'm not sure if xchat-gnome supports proxies, but I do know that the regular version does. | 01:11 |
| danielski_pl | Jack_Sparrow : SDB1 | 01:11 |
| newbie | cosmodad, the problem is that sometimes when the computer is booting up, it takes up to 5 minutes, and sometimes it restarts w/o accessing ubuntu. Also when I try to play video/audio files, the movie player fails, and I have to restart one or two times | 01:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: You are looking for uuid of sdb1 to get it mounted? | 01:12 |
| DrBeaverhausen | New to Ubuntu. I'm having trouble with video on websites. | 01:12 |

| ConstyXIV | :) | 01:12 |
| luca | i'm missing my bottom part of my monitor how do i fix it? | 01:12 |
| cosmodad | newbie: long boot times might be related to networking issues. What does the movie player say? What do you mean by "w/o accessing ubuntu"? | 01:12 |
| Jangari | is there a room for help on bash? | 01:13 |
| Starnestommy | Jangari: #bash ? | 01:13 |
| newbie | cosmodad, when I boot up, the screen goes black, and I can only see the cursor, but nothing else. then a few minutes later, the computer restarts | 01:13 |
| Jangari | ha | 01:13 |
| Jangari | yeah, just found that from /list, ta | 01:13 |
| newbie | the movie player just freezes and goes b&w | 01:13 |
| trippss | Jangari: #bash | 01:13 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: u mean like youtube o google? | 01:13 |
| newbie | cosmodad, the movieplayer just freezes and goes b&w | 01:14 |
| cosmodad | newbie: hit F1 when you boot (or disable the quiet option the grub boot screen) to see what Linux repots. | 01:14 |
| DrBeaverhausen | youtube comes up ok, not as good as with windows. But videos from other sites don't come up at all. | 01:14 |
| cosmodad | newbie: *reports | 01:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: Sorry, but I am a bit confused, sdb is a 500 gig drive with a single 130 +- gig partition, and what is /dev/sdb1p1 I have never seen that before ? | 01:14 |
| cosmodad | newbie: what player did you use? have you tried an alternative (e.g., mplayer or totem)? | 01:14 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: so flash video are working, but no avi o mpeg etc etc? | 01:15 |
| Hemebond | I got my sound problem fixed thanks to someone in #alsa. | 01:15 |

| newbie | cosmodad, yes, I have Mplayer, totem, vlc, xine and all of them fail | 01:15 |
| danielski_pl | Jack_Sparrow: "/dev/sdb1p1" wouldnt have a clue what that is | 01:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hemebond: Good people over there for sound issues | 01:15 |
| DrBeaverhausen | not sure. Pretty much any video I go to from digg.com for example just won't load. I went to the ubuntu support page and installed the video add-ons for firefox. | 01:16 |
| cosmodad | newbie: pasting mplayer's output might pose to be helpful. | 01:16 |
| DrBeaverhausen | I also can't get some web pages to load right. | 01:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | What is up with the rest of that drive... Is this a new drive ? | 01:16 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: like what web pages? | 01:17 |

| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: I only see the one 130gig partition (reminds me of a bios limitation... was this drive always in this box? | 01:19 |
| DoYouKnow | sovietn00b, look in your .emerald folder in your home directory | 01:19 |
| newbie | cosmodad, mmm I do not know how to do that, could you tell me? | 01:19 |
| cosmodad | !pastebin | newbie | 01:19 |
| ubotu | newbie: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 01:19 |
| cosmodad | newbie: copy mplayer's output and paste it using the pastebin service. Publish the URL afterwards. | 01:20 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: try to go www.adobe.com tell me if u can see the animation | 01:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: So, the partition does not end on a cylinder boundary... | 01:20 |
| danielski_pl | JAck_sparrow: since i bought it yes, in windows it workd fine as 500GB | 01:20 |
| sovietn00b | DoYouKnow: how to select? its there | 01:20 |
| DoYouKnow | sovietn00b, you can probably just delete it | 01:21 |
| DoYouKnow | but make a backup first | 01:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: Did you use the special install disk to get it going in windows when you originally installed it? | 01:21 |
| DrBeaverhausen | going there now | 01:21 |
| luca | ok | 01:21 |
| DoYouKnow | sovietn00b, then when you re-run emerald, it will recreate it for you | 01:21 |
| sovietn00b | Ty | 01:21 |
| DrBeaverhausen | What am I looking for. | 01:21 |
| danielski_pl | Jack_Sparrow: no disk involved to install windows mounted it by default | 01:21 |

| DrBeaverhausen | I just switched a few weeks ago. So far, so good. | 01:24 |
| tcpdumpgod | anyone? | 01:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: Ok, where (I think) the problem resides is in a bios limitation on large drives. THis is not a very new motherboard, or that is my guess | 01:24 |
| eek | Thorsten11: thanks for the hello. | 01:24 |

| georgy_28 | ! istanbul | 01:26 |

| eek | bazhang: love the cube effect along with the "window thing finder" | 01:26 |
| sixstorm | wil_: nvidia card will do better than the Intel chipset | 01:26 |
| bazhang | eek do you plan on running feisty until the end of its support cycle? gutsy is out now, and hardy is around the corner | 01:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: If your BIOS can handle hard drives larger than 137GB, you won't need new drivers .. per http://www.md4pc.com/questions/58.htm IS where I think your problem starts | 01:26 |
| DrBeaverhausen | OK, got it. | 01:27 |
| eek | lol | 01:27 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: now open terminal | 01:27 |
| wil_ | sixstorm thanks. this is my first day with linux.... I will put it in now. Do I need to do anything or will it auto detect the new gfx card? | 01:27 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: Apllication - Accessories - Terminal | 01:27 |
| DrBeaverhausen | OK | 01:27 |
| bastid_raZor | cosmodad; that didn't work either but that is okay. thanks for the attempt | 01:27 |
| eek | bazhang: what would changing over take and how would it effect me? | 01:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: I knew that number looked familiar. 137 gig... | 01:28 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: type cd desktop | 01:28 |
| newbie | cosmodad, but that is just to mention one problem. Also when ubuntu is loaded, I got this error: The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_CPUFreqApplet", and it asks me if I want to delete the applet from configuration | 01:28 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: if this is a conventional zip file, it will work. Been doing it a hundred times. | 01:28 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: ah sorry wrong channel. | 01:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: Did you make any bios changes? jumpers on the drive perhaps? | 01:28 |
| bastid_raZor | cosmodad; heh.. workTime for me.. enjoy | 01:28 |
| cosmodad | bastid_raZor: in that case, the damage might be too bad. | 01:28 |
| acharis | what's the word on key remapping under gutsy? | 01:28 |

| bazhang | eek this is a destop or a laptop? you might want to run the live cd of gutsy and see how well it recognizes your hardware--different folks have different experiences | 01:28 |
| DrBeaverhausen | just says not found. | 01:28 |
| sixstorm | wil_: depends. sometimes it will pop up to ask your permission about "Restricted Drivers", which you would want to use. they are nvidia graphic drivers | 01:28 |
| eek | laptop | 01:28 |
| cosmodad | newbie: hmm did you change anything vital to the system? | 01:29 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: type cd Desktop sorry | 01:29 |
| eek | bazhang: God get Wifi running my bud had to add lines to the script | 01:29 |
| newbie | cosmodad, not that I am aware. I just started installing apps | 01:29 |
| wil_ | but I wont break anything if I restart and put in the new card? | 01:29 |
| DrBeaverhausen | still says no such file. | 01:29 |

| newbie | cosmodad, sure I do | 01:29 |

| sixstorm | wil_: no it won't break anything. just back up your stuff before you switch GFX cards if you want to. | 01:30 |
| DrBeaverhausen | Sorry, not following you | 01:30 |
| cosmodad | newbie: how long have you been using this system? | 01:30 |
| bazhang | eek thus my advice to try the livecd before doing anything--if gutsy can do your wifi and you dont have too minimal amount of ram then gutsy might be a good choice | 01:30 |
| wil_ | I have nothing to back up! just trying linux! thanks, i will try it now! | 01:31 |
| danielski_pl | Jack_Sparrow, i did reset the bios coz i stuffed something | 01:31 |
| newbie | cosmodad, since ubuntu 7.10 was released | 01:31 |
| sixstorm | no prob, wil_ | 01:31 |
| cosmodad | newbie: uhm. | 01:31 |
| bazhang | eek that depends on if you want to upgrade via the net; if so, then it will leave them untouched | 01:31 |
| newbie | cosmodad, I think since October | 01:31 |
| luca | DrBeaverhausen: type ls in the terminal should appear something can you select that with the mouse, copy it and past here so i can have a look? | 01:31 |
| cosmodad | newbie: you should check the logs in /var/log too. | 01:31 |
| juan | eek: program settings can be kept by backing up you /home | 01:31 |
| acharis | the dumpkeys/loadkeys looks like it might not work either | 01:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danielski_pl: I need to think that it isnt a coincidence that your first partition shows 137 gig.. so there should be an optionin the bios to use large drives and you used a failsafe reset of the bios | 01:32 |
| eek | bazhang: http:? for net? | 01:32 |
| newbie | cosmodad, Also, I will have to reinstall windows in my computer, but it will mess up the grub. Is there any tutorial that tells me how to recover it after reinstalling windows? | 01:32 |

| cosmodad | newbie: so don't worry. | 01:55 |
| Tazbo | Any other suggestions? I really don't want to backup a 150gb partition just to reinstall for a connectivity problem | 01:55 |
| DrBeaverhausen | I also couldn't get audio when playing games. | 01:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spacemonkey: or hit escape on boot and use recovery mode to try and setup your xorg.conf | 01:55 |
| newbie | cosmodad, so basically it means that if I want to save an image of a DVD I will have no problems storing it under the ext3 partition? like in fat, I have tried, but it does not allow files > 4gb | 01:55 |
| cosmodad | newbie: nope, you won't have such a problem under exte. | 01:56 |
| cosmodad | ext. | 01:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: true | 01:56 |
| ripp3r666 | ext and xfs are both very nice :) | 01:56 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: what's your connectivity problem? | 01:56 |
| newbie | cosmodad, also, I know there is some sort of driver to read ext partitions under windows. If I convert my entire Hdd to ext partition, will I be able to read/write to the hdd from windows? | 01:57 |
| panfist | hey does anyone have an example of a startup script that starts a program running in gnu screen in detached mode? | 01:57 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie, that driver thing doesnt always work | 01:57 |
| cosmodad | newbie: I know there is a windows tool that can read ext2/3. | 01:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: YEs you need a driver for windows to read write ext3. | 01:57 |
| ripp3r666 | cosmodad i've had alot of issues with it | 01:57 |
| cosmodad | newbie: not sure about its reliability, however. | 01:57 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: ok. | 01:57 |
| newbie | cosmodad, all right | 01:57 |
| ripp3r666 | infact i've had it corrupt an entire drive. | 01:57 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: able to connect to IRC/msn/yahoo/etc but no web, ftp, ping, etc.. just started this morning after update | 01:58 |
| ripp3r666 | i was rather mad. | 01:58 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, ok, thanks for the comment | 01:58 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie, no problem man | 01:58 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks for the comment | 01:58 |
| hou5ton | is there supposed to be such a thing in synaptic as gstreamer-universe? | 01:58 |
| ripp3r666 | i've never heard of it | 01:58 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: doesn't sound like a reason to reinstall. | 01:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: something like ext2fs but that isnt right | 01:58 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: what does ping say? | 01:58 |
| ripp3r666 | its ext2ifs | 01:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thanks | 01:59 |
| cosmodad | newbie: sharing files between Windows and Linux will therefore virtually require a shared FAT partition. | 01:59 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: ping times out no matter the address.. even the IP to my router... but WLAN settings are correct as they were before.. | 01:59 |
| cosmodad | newbie: I know this makes virus attacks easier, but you should make sure you don't get any viruses at all anyway. | 01:59 |
| ripp3r666 | cosmodad, no it wont | 01:59 |
| hou5ton | is there a program on my system named gstreamer? | 01:59 |
| ripp3r666 | cosmodad, you can share the ext3 via smb | 01:59 |
| ripp3r666 | and configure smb | 01:59 |
| newbie | cosmodad, then you would recommend me to create 2 partitions then? a fat and an ext partition? | 02:00 |
| ripp3r666 | and then have no issues :) | 02:00 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: well ping to localhost or the machines own IP is fine but that isn't much help is it? :) | 02:00 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie read what i just said. | 02:00 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, ok | 02:00 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: smb can read ext3? | 02:00 |
| ripp3r666 | yes. | 02:00 |
| cosmodad | hell, didn't know. | 02:00 |
| cosmodad | how does that work? | 02:00 |
| ripp3r666 | i dont have anything but ext3 and i share my stuff via smb :D | 02:00 |
| hou5ton | synaptic shows that gstreamer things are installed .... is there someplace I can find ... gstreamer-properties ? | 02:00 |
| ripp3r666 | works fine w/ ntfs on windows | 02:00 |
| PriceChild | cosmodad it doesn't matter what filesystem you have, if it is mounted, samba can share it | 02:01 |
| cosmodad | I mean, smb will have to incorporate a FS driver, won't it? | 02:01 |
| PriceChild | cosmodad, you could mount an iso file and share that if you really wanted? | 02:01 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, cosmodad, sorry for asking this guys, but in few words, what is smb? | 02:01 |
| cosmodad | PriceChild: ok but that's only true if you keep data on a separate host. | 02:01 |
| ripp3r666 | smb is samba. its like windows file/printer sharing. | 02:01 |
| PriceChild | cosmodad, pardon? | 02:02 |
| === dimensiOn is now known as dimensiOFF | ||
| cosmodad | PriceChild: I was referring to data sharing on a single host, i.e., access Linux data while Windows is booted. | 02:02 |
| PriceChild | cosmodad, that isn't what samba is for. | 02:02 |
| cosmodad | PriceChild: I know. | 02:02 |
| roy | anyone can help with medibuntu? | 02:02 |
| cosmodad | newbie: how do you want to share data: on the same machine (e.g., access Linux data while Windows is booted), or have something like a file-server? | 02:03 |
| === dimensiOFF is now known as dimensiOn | ||
| ripp3r666 | specifics like that are always good | 02:03 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, but If I use only ext partition, do I need to do something for a windows computer to recognize it, right? The thing is that I need to carry all of my files with me even to school, where there are only windows xp computers and I have not admin rights | 02:03 |

| DrBeaverhausen | Why do I have to re-install everything for every user account? | 02:04 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie that would require ext2ifs on EVERY pc you plan on using | 02:04 |
| ripp3r666 | if they are win32 that is | 02:05 |
| cosmodad | newbie: ok let others correct me if I'm wrong but smb won't help you with that I believe. | 02:05 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: can you ping any local in your LAN? (if you live in such a one) | 02:05 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, ohhh I see. | 02:05 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: any local host | 02:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: You need to look at what ripp3r666 says.. unless you own or have full control of all systems | 02:05 |
| newbie | cosmodad, that's correct | 02:05 |
| tim168 | what command does this for me: replace all spaces and comma's in filenames and dirnames within a certain directory, including its subdir ? | 02:05 |
| RequinB5 | Jack_Sparrow - i was under the impression flash was fine now | 02:05 |
| Frogzoo | newbie: what you want is to format it as ext3, and use the windows ext2 driver | 02:05 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: unable to ping any lan machines, Wireless router, or cable modem.. | 02:06 |
| newbie | Frogzoo, the problem is that the ext2 driver is not installed in my school computers | 02:06 |
| Frogzoo | RequinB5: seems so | 02:06 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: how are you hooked up network-wise? cable, wireless? | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RequinB5: I didnt think it had been brought all the way into the repos yet | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | RequinB5: -proposed yes... | 02:06 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, ok | 02:06 |
| Frogzoo | newbie: well then go (ugh) fat32 | 02:06 |
| geezone | dose anyone have any info are where can i add my ubuntu computer to my widows network computers help please.. | 02:07 |
| cosmodad | tim168: I like to use `rename' for that purpose. Requires some regex knowledge, however. | 02:07 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: wireless.. but I tried ethernet as well and no go | 02:07 |
| newbie | Frogzoo, I have no choice buddy | 02:07 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie: my advice...dont install it :) they may not like that. | 02:07 |
| cosmodad | tim168: there's also krename, it might be newbie-friendlier. | 02:07 |
| Frogzoo | geezone: install samba | 02:07 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: do you have a firewall on your machine enabled/misconfigured? | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: You can read and write ntfs with ubuntu, if the majority of the places you go have windows... | 02:07 |
| tim168 | cosmodad: this is on a computer without internet access, i cant install anything not already on it (ubuntustudio) | 02:08 |
| ripp3r666 | Jack_Sparrow, he's trying to take his linux partition(s) w/ him | 02:08 |
| geezone | i have samba installed but how can i add my ubuntu computer to my home network... | 02:08 |
| cr4z3d` | man.. getting the built in mic on my laptop seems to be extremely difficult. i've tried the test under soun > prefs and i get "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audiosample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing" | 02:08 |
| RequinB5 | tim168 - you can still manually get the *.deb packages | 02:08 |
| ripp3r666 | geezone, sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf | 02:08 |
| cr4z3d` | using ASLA, tried every option available with similar results and it's an Intel HDA controller | 02:08 |
| ripp3r666 | pretty simple. | 02:08 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, then you suggest me to format my hdd to NTFS? is it possible that I would experience some incompatibilities with such partition? | 02:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ripp3r666: I know he was looking to take data with him accessible by both.. not necessarilly linux os | 02:09 |
| cosmodad | tim168: if you have perl installed, you can write a little script. But it's even more lines. | 02:09 |
| RequinB5 | tim168 - packages.ubuntu.com && archive.ubuntu.com | 02:09 |
| cosmodad | tim168: or google for some bash magic. | 02:09 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, that's right :) | 02:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: Please clarify the exact purpose of the external drive | 02:09 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: firewall only on wireless router.. and not misconfigured nothing changed.. it happened right after I did the update this morning.. | 02:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: If just for sharing music and videos etc.. ntfs should be fine as he can read from home using ubuntu... and from friends using windows | 02:10 |
| tim168 | cosmodad: yeah well i was hoping someone here happened had some bash magic handy :p i'll check out man rename | 02:10 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: all my other machines can see each other, and when I run ubuntu live cd I can use everything just fine | 02:10 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, as I mentioned before, I just want to store all of my personal files and be able to access it from linux/windows without having any file size restriction | 02:10 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: can you pastebin the output of `ifconfig' and 'route'? | 02:10 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie then use ntfs | 02:10 |
| ripp3r666 | ntfs has limits, but so do all file systems. | 02:10 |
| geezone | can anyone direct me where i can get info on how to add a linux computer ubuntu to a windows network. for file shares | 02:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: Beyond that, we need to know what other systems you will be plugging into... I assume mostly other peoples windows boxes | 02:11 |
| ripp3r666 | geezone sure. | 02:11 |
| hou5ton | I have installed every package that has anything to do with gstreamer .... so ... where is gstreamer? | 02:11 |
| Kitar|st | http://wiresmash.com/amazing/amazing-paint-jam/ | 02:11 |
| Kitar|st | awesmoe | 02:11 |
| cosmodad | tim168: with rename, you'd replace , by spaces like this: rename 's/(.*),(.*)/$1 $2/' <file glob> (add -n for a dry-run) | 02:11 |
| Kitar|st | seems that you can also jam with painting | 02:11 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, yes, I basically work around windows XP and ubuntu | 02:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: The point being.. not all linux can read and write ntfs out of the box.. | 02:11 |
| danielski_pl | how does garbage bin quit unexpectedly during setup, how do i get my garbage bin back? | 02:11 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: i'll have to get on that machine.. you want me to send the output to you privately? | 02:11 |
| ripp3r666 | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 @ geezone | 02:11 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: please use pastebin. | 02:12 |
| cosmodad | !pastebin | Tazbo | 02:12 |
| ubotu | Tazbo: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 02:12 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: wait | 02:12 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, that is why I was asking if you would recommend me to create two partitions on my hdd | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: With that understood.. I would say, yes to ntfs | 02:12 |
| cosmodad | please use `ifconfig -a' | 02:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: If you have the room for an extra partition ext3 perhaps, go for it. | 02:12 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, sure I do :) | 02:13 |
| roy_ | I always have the following error when adding rep for medibuntu | 02:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: ntfs should be just fine for your needs.. (just my opinion) | 02:13 |
| tim168 | cosmodad: ah thanks, what do i put in <file glob> ? | 02:13 |
| spacemonkey | Wll ctrl alt f2 didn't help | 02:13 |
| spacemonkey | I still lose all video the second the installer starts | 02:13 |
| cosmodad | tim168: something like *.txt or myfiles?.txt | 02:13 |
| ripp3r666 | spacemonkey, what kind of video card? | 02:13 |
| spacemonkey | ati x800 | 02:13 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, one last question, is there any advantage on fat32 over NTFS? | 02:14 |
| ripp3r666 | thats what i have. | 02:14 |
| ripp3r666 | and i had 0 problems out of gutsy | 02:14 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: yeah? i'm rebooting my other machine I was running the livecd | 02:14 |
| ripp3r666 | try hitting space bar after it logs in | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spacemonkey: You are still running livecd to try and install to hd, not already installed to hd? | 02:14 |
| roy | can anyone help with this error : W: GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com gutsy-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key <ftpmaster@ubuntu.com> | 02:14 |
| ripp3r666 | sometimes the screen shuts off. | 02:14 |
| ripp3r666 | well i have the x850xt | 02:14 |
| tim168 | cosmodad: ok, i'll try it out | 02:14 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: just use `ifconfig -a', please. And `route'. | 02:14 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: the -a switch is important. | 02:14 |
| spacemonkey | it goes off when I hit start ubuntu in safe graphics mode, it loads the kernel and poof my screen says no input but my computer keeps going | 02:14 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, cosmodad, ripp3r666, Thank you very much guys, I appreciate your time and your patience. Have a nice day :) | 02:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | newbie: Only advantage is that fat32 can be read by both with no drivers, but limited to under 4gig file size | 02:15 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie not a problem. anytime. | 02:15 |
| spacemonkey | yeah not installed yet trying too | 02:15 |

| hou5ton | r0bby: ripp3r666: I have a very supported webcam. Skype sees it and uses the microphone, but not the video. Camorama says "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). | 02:23 |
| hou5ton | any thoughts? | 02:23 |
| dan_l | hey real quick: What file do I edit to adjust the blacklist? | 02:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spacemonkey: at that screen you can hit F6 and try a variety of options... I will get you the list in a sec... noapic is the one that seems to work most for me. | 02:23 |
| ripp3r666 | ConstyXIV, you can use vmware or you can use virtualbox , or qemu | 02:23 |
| ripp3r666 | take your pick | 02:23 |
| r0bby | is it connected? | 02:24 |
| ripp3r666 | or you can use xen if your cpu supports it. | 02:24 |
| ConstyXIV | i believe i meant parallel init | 02:24 |
| X600 | Jack_Sparrow, if you've got a moment, mind if I ask you a couple questions? | 02:24 |
| spacemonkey | I tried noapic nolapic is it just noapic? | 02:24 |
| ripp3r666 | ConstyXIV, yeah. | 02:24 |
| zelrikriando | hey nickrud what s up | 02:24 |
| zil2 | Hi, I am in trouble.... I just installed a graphics card (nvidia geforce mx440) in my machine.... now when I boot it up it just goes to text and I have no clue what to do..... I am on another pc with IRC. Please help! | 02:24 |
| ripp3r666 | ConstyXIV, i cant think of the switch for grub of the top of my head | 02:24 |
| ConstyXIV | that's virtualization | 02:24 |
| ConstyXIV | completely different | 02:24 |
| ripp3r666 | yes i know | 02:24 |
| poningru | zil2: go to your computer log in to the prompt | 02:24 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: maybe your disk is failing. | 02:25 |
| ripp3r666 | ConstyXIV, google this: speed up ubuntu the way you can feel it | 02:25 |
| poningru | now do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-xserver-core | 02:25 |
| lilg111111 | i need help, no sound in gusty | 02:25 |
| poningru | zil2: ^^^ | 02:25 |
| newbie | Jack_Sparrow, cosmodad, ripp3r666, guys, It's me again. I tried to backup my home folder but there are some files that I could not copy. Which command prompt instruction I need to use to copy EVERYTHING from my home folder? | 02:25 |
| zil2 | ok... il type that now | 02:25 |
| poningru | !sound | lilg111111 | 02:25 |
| ubotu | lilg111111: 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 | 02:25 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie... | 02:25 |
| ripp3r666 | do this | 02:25 |
| ripp3r666 | sudo cp ~/* /destination here | 02:25 |
| Tazbo | cosmodad: disk seems fine when I bootup live | 02:25 |
| bts3685 | any idea where i can find a list of boot cheatcodes? | 02:26 |
| zil2 | you know... from what I have seen, ubuntu is a good replacement for windows in business (with wine) but it is no way ready for most home users :( but... I am enjoying it | 02:26 |
| ripp3r666 | oops | 02:26 |
| bts3685 | specifically for the x86 alternate install disc | 02:26 |
| ogre_ | can someone tell me what this error is telling me? http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9741/screenshotvb6.png | 02:26 |
| ripp3r666 | its sudo cp -R ~/* <dest here> @ newbie | 02:26 |
| danbhfive | newbie: you should follow the guide I gave you, it has lots of resources, and an explanation of why cp won't work | 02:26 |
| poningru | zil2: sorry I meant sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core | 02:26 |
| ripp3r666 | danbhfive, cp will work. | 02:26 |
| zil2 | argh :S I havent done it yet | 02:26 |
| zelrikriando | zil2: I think it is...or almost :) | 02:26 |
| zil2 | lol | 02:26 |
| danbhfive | ripp3r666: not according to other people | 02:26 |
| poningru | zil2: actually it is, if you had used the latest version this wouldnt have happened | 02:26 |
| ripp3r666 | lol | 02:26 |
| ripp3r666 | they must not know how to use the toolchain then. | 02:26 |
| zil2 | I just got the latest version | 02:26 |
| ripp3r666 | its just permission issues | 02:27 |
| poningru | the latest version has whats called backup X which would not have let this happened | 02:27 |
| poningru | zil2: which one? | 02:27 |
| ripp3r666 | so do sudo cp -R ~/* /DESTINATION | 02:27 |
| cosmodad | newbie: I'd use something like this: rsync -avrPS /home/myhome/ <destination> | 02:27 |
| danbhfive | ripp3r666: and, I guess, that it doesn't handle hidden files well | 02:27 |
| zil2 | im on | 02:27 |
| ripp3r666 | danbhfive, yes it will | 02:27 |
| Moumny | [excuse my bad english] i read the ubuntu website about my wifi-card (boardcom bcm94311mcg on a compaq notebook) and i dont understand what to do (use windows drivers or just the one in ubuntu) thank you for answer | 02:27 |
| zil2 | ahh | 02:27 |
| ripp3r666 | hince the ~/* | 02:27 |
| zil2 | sorry, did that wrong | 02:27 |
| Tazbo | Can you install ubuntu without wiping a partition? | 02:27 |
| ripp3r666 | and the sudo | 02:27 |
| phroughy | i can't get java to work. i have installed the correct packages, and follewed the tutorial pointed out by !java, but it still doesn't work | 02:27 |
| cosmodad | Tazbo: don't think so. | 02:27 |
| zelrikriando | Tazbo: you need to wipe at least something :) | 02:27 |
| Onyx | Ubuntu's update manager wants to update kernel headers, kernel images, etc. How do I keep Ubuntu from telling me to update the kernel stuff? I keep it updated myself. | 02:27 |
| X600 | Tazbo, you can resize. | 02:27 |
| hou5ton | r0bby: ripp3r666: I have a very supported webcam. Skype sees it and uses the microphone, but not the video. Camorama says "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0). | 02:28 |
| r0bby | hou5ton: i can read | 02:28 |
| danbhfive | ripp3r666: there is nothing wrong with your syntax, the question relates with how cp works internally | 02:28 |
| ripp3r666 | hou5ton, what kind of webcam? | 02:28 |
| zil2 | im not sure what version I have... I only installed it about 2 hours ago, I got the latest iso | 02:28 |
| cosmodad | Onyx: put the packages on hold using synaptics or aptitude. | 02:28 |
| poningru | Onyx: read up on apt.conf | 02:28 |
| ripp3r666 | danbhfive, if your setuid root , you can copy anything with cp | 02:28 |
| zil2 | I put in a graphics card, and it messed up | 02:28 |
| psss | i can´t boot with graphical iterface anymore it say i have no monitor configured, hod do i fix that? | 02:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | spacemonkey: nolapic, acpi=off, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable, pci=noapci, acpi=off, noapic, nolapic, all_generic_ide, acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false are some of them | 02:28 |
| poningru | or just doe what cosmodad said | 02:28 |
| zil2 | anyway, should I do the xserver or xorg command? | 02:28 |
| Creationist | Could someone please tell me how to unlock apt (no processes are using it)? | 02:28 |
| ripp3r666 | brb going to get coffee | 02:28 |
| hou5ton | ripp3r666: logitech 9000 .... 046d:0990 | 02:29 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, do I have to be in the /home folder and run that instruction, or do I have to be one level up? | 02:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psss: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 | 02:29 |
| scguy318 | Creationist: close any apps like Synaptic | 02:29 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie you can be anywhere | 02:29 |
| ogre_ | can someone tell me what this error is telling me? http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9741/screenshotvb6.png | 02:29 |
| scguy318 | Creationist: if that's the case, and you're absolutely sure no APT apps holding the lock, you can try !aptlock | 02:29 |
| Creationist | scguy318: They're already closed. I've tried restarting X too. | 02:29 |
| dan_l | Notice to my fellow n000bs: Tilda is the greatest program ever invented. That is all. | 02:29 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie you could do that from /etc/ and it would work | 02:29 |
| spacemonkey | brb | 02:29 |
| Onyx | poningru: Where? | 02:29 |
| Creationist | !aptlock | 02:29 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 02:29 |
| zelrikriando | zil2: same command as for psss I guess | 02:29 |
| Onyx | !apt.conf | 02:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about apt.conf - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:30 |
| mac43123 | anyone have experience setting up bridging with virtual box? | 02:30 |
| zelrikriando | zil2: I think he s got the same issue | 02:30 |
| noodles12 | how do u view a jpg from the terminal? | 02:30 |
| ripp3r666 | mac43123, i have. | 02:30 |
| ripp3r666 | its not hard. | 02:30 |
| poningru | Onyx: man apt.conf | 02:30 |
| phroughy | i can't get java to work. i have installed the correct packages, and follewed the tutorial pointed out by !java, but it still doesn't work | 02:30 |
| danbhfive | ripp3r666: here is the source, FYI http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-archiving | 02:30 |
| cosmodad | noodles12: you'd need a framebuffer. | 02:30 |
| poningru | Onyx: or you can just put it on 'hold' in synaptic | 02:30 |
| psss | Jack_Sparrow after that what happen if i reboot? | 02:30 |
| dan_l | Phroughy: 64 or 386? | 02:30 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, but does it only copy my /home folder and everything inside there, or it also copies other stuff? | 02:30 |
| scguy318 | ogre_: you didn't install kernel modules for VirtualBox | 02:30 |
| cosmodad | noodles12: or do you mean a terminal opened in GNOME or KDE? | 02:30 |
| phroughy | dan_l: 383 kubuntu | 02:30 |
| phroughy | 386* | 02:30 |
| ripp3r666 | newbie that just copies your entire home folder. | 02:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | psss: You should get basic gui.. then work on setting up real video driver | 02:31 |
| Celes | how do you get the newest version of pidgin? | 02:31 |
| ripp3r666 | brb getting coffee | 02:31 |
| Creationist | Now I need help getting my monitor setup properly. It's a 1400x1050 resolution but I can't get it set to 60Hz refresh rate.... only 50 and 51 are available. | 02:31 |
| * Celes hugs jangari | 02:31 | |
| Onyx | poningru: I don't see an option for that in Synaptic. | 02:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: getdeb.com | 02:31 |
| newbie | cosmodad, what advantage does the rsync option has against the cp option? | 02:31 |
| venz | Question: By installing only a minimal ubuntu. If I install xfce4, does that already include a desktop manager or should I install a separate one? | 02:31 |
| newbie | ripp3r666, all right, got it | 02:31 |
| Celes | get.deb.com? | 02:31 |
| poningru | Onyx: you dont see lock version and force version under package? | 02:31 |
| Celes | cant I just do some terminal code for it lol | 02:31 |
| venz | command i use: apt-get install xfce4 xorg | 02:31 |
| RequinB5 | !lol | 02:32 |
| psss | Jack_Sparrow thank you :) | 02:32 |
| ubotu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 02:32 |
| poningru | venz: install xubuntu-desktop it will include it all | 02:32 |
| cosmodad | newbie: the major advantage is: you can resume the copy process if you have to cancel it for whatever reason. | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: For the latset pidgin... remember to remove the old pidgin first | 02:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | latest | 02:32 |
| Onyx | poningru: Yes, but that's not the term that was used, so I didn't associate "hold" with it... sorry. | 02:32 |
| Celes | how do you remove the old pidgin and get the new :S that I dont get | 02:32 |
| poningru | Onyx: oh sorry | 02:32 |
| newbie | cosmodad, then I think I will use such command. Thanks | 02:32 |
| ogre_ | scguy318: how do install the kernel modules for it? yesterday when i tried to do what it told me it wrecked my wireless | 02:32 |
| poningru | Celes: just wait till april so you can upgrade it with your entire operating system | 02:32 |
| Celes | I cant wait :( | 02:33 |
| cosmodad | newbie: also, it'll preserve file metadata, such as ownership. But if it's just your home, you can do cp as well. | 02:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: I used synaptic to remove the old one, double clicked the tars that I got from getdeb | 02:33 |
| Celes | when I type in red my pidgin convo shows in light gray and I cant read it unless I have a magnifying glass to my eye | 02:33 |
| cosmodad | newbie: rsync works for sure though. | 02:33 |
| Creationist | Now I need help getting my monitor setup properly. It's a 1400x1050 resolution but I can't get it set to 60Hz refresh rate.... only 50 and 51 are available. | 02:33 |
| Onyx | poningru: Got it now... thanks :) | 02:34 |
| newbie | cosmodad, all right, I have a better feeling for rsync rather than cp | 02:34 |
| poningru | Onyx: cool, and uh... sorry about that :) | 02:34 |
| pteague | how do i get gnome to do print screen inside a window instead of the entire desktop? preferably i'd just prefer to have the game do the screenshots cause it can do a higher quality than what i'm currently viewing | 02:34 |
| poningru | Celes: pretty sure you can change that color | 02:34 |
| Moumny | nobody would help me? | 02:34 |
| Onyx | poningru: Heh, no worries. | 02:34 |
| jnascimento | Creationist: try on terminal type: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:34 |
| Celes | I cant poningru :( | 02:35 |
| zelrikriando | nickrud: you there? | 02:35 |
| Ussr1943 | if I have installed ubuntu to an external usb hdd, and it's not loading what might be the problem? (yes my bios supports usb boot) | 02:35 |
| zil2 | I just installed a new gfx card, and it went to the text screen... I typed "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core" and it just brought up a new line and I dont think it is doing anything now | 02:35 |
| zil2 | what should I do? | 02:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zelrikriando: I have ot seen him this afternoon | 02:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Moumny: What was your question? | 02:35 |
| zil2 | well, it asked for a password, then that was the last thing and it just did another prompy | 02:35 |
| Moumny | [excuse my bad english] i read the ubuntu website about my wifi-card (boardcom bcm94311mcg on a compaq notebook) and i dont understand what to do (use windows drivers or just the one in ubuntu) thank you for answer | 02:35 |
| zelrikriando | ok Jack_Sparrow | 02:36 |
| noodles12 | cosmodad: i meant terminal opened in gnome | 02:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Moumny: Sorry, I dont know how to get the 943xx to work.. wifi not my thing | 02:36 |
| Moumny | ok thank you | 02:36 |
| bmk789 | weird, i upgraded the kernel and now my webcam doesnt show up with lsusb, should i just boot the previous one? | 02:36 |
| cosmodad | noodles12: just type: <your favorite image viewer> [<file name>] | 02:36 |
| luca | Jack_Sparrow: how do i reinstall my laptop video driver after i've done reconfigure xorg? | 02:37 |
| Moumny | where can i ask? | 02:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | luca: Start by enabling the restricted drivers from the menu | 02:37 |
| luca | Jack_Sparrow: i don't have any apart the wireless one | 02:38 |
| venz | poningru: I was planning to not install xubuntu-desktop to avoid applications included to be installed | 02:38 |
| Celes | wheres Jangari ? :( | 02:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Moumny: It is fine to ask in here.. But you will need to wait for the answer.. I would love to know it myself | 02:38 |
| poningru | venz: ah gotcha | 02:38 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: I just tried cp -R because it wouldn't copy hidden files for me before. It still doesn't. Are you sure this works? | 02:38 |
| Celes | he always answers me ! wake up Jangari | 02:38 |
| Ussr1943 | I know for sure grub is on my external HDD, but does it have to actually be on my internal over my MBR in order to get it to boot up? | 02:39 |
| zil2 | ARGH :( that "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core" command did not do anything :( what can I do... all I see is console / text when I restart my machine (after upgrading gfx card) | 02:39 |
| ripp3r666 | cosmodad perhaps its different on openbsd. he could use nautilus , show the hidden files , create an archive and then copy that. | 02:39 |
| Moumny | i asked 2 times so i thought it will be flood | 02:39 |
| ripp3r666 | but it works for me on obsd. | 02:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | luca: Then it doesnt need one. You can try installing your own.. but as you probably found out.. it can cause issues .. | 02:39 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: this is #ubuntu. :) | 02:39 |
| venz | even though my machine can run xubuntu fine, I still prefer to trim ubuntu a little more if possible and only having those that I currently need | 02:39 |
| danbhfive | zil2: are you sure its -core? | 02:39 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: man, you should have mentioned that before. | 02:39 |
| Celes | this is sparta! | 02:39 |
| zil2 | I typed "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core" | 02:39 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: and btw, rsync is much smoother than nautilus-hidden-files-archive action. | 02:40 |
| cosmodad | (for this purpose) | 02:40 |
| danbhfive | zil2: are you sure about the -core at the end of that command? | 02:40 |
| zil2 | it then asked for a password, then it just came up with another prompt and displayed nothing else... so I could type another command... I have all of 2 hours experiance with linux so I can not say in detail.... but it did not seem to be doing anything (no hard drive spinning e.t.c. for 5 mins) | 02:40 |
| cosmodad | Celes: you could have added something new and said #sparta... | 02:40 |
| zelrikriando | there is no "core" is there zil2? | 02:41 |
| zil2 | I typed "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core" exactly like that.... without the " | 02:41 |
| danbhfive | !who > zil2 | 02:41 |
| zil2 | that -core :S I have 2 hours experiance with linux! that is what someone else told me to type :S | 02:41 |
| zil2 | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-core | 02:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guys & Gals ,play nice, I will be lurking around while I get dinner on the table | 02:42 |
| Celes | yeah :( | 02:42 |
| danbhfive | zil2: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg so, its a simmilar command, but with -phigh and without -core | 02:42 |
| cosmodad | danbhfive: did you follow what I said about cp one minute ago? Apparently, openBSD's cp does transfer hidden files too while the Linux incarnation doesn't. | 02:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zil2: when it asks for password, type yours.. it will not show up in the window.. nothing at all.. just hit enter when done | 02:42 |
| cosmodad | danbhfive: just FYI. | 02:42 |
| Celes | Jack_Sparrow, darling is it alright if I find the update for pidgin in synaptic and then go to mark all upgrades? | 02:42 |
| ripp3r666 | cosmodad, mv always works too :) | 02:43 |
| zil2 | ok, trying that command.... also Jack_Sparrow, I typed the password correct... (im a noob at linux, not at pcs!) it just didnt do anything | 02:43 |
| danbhfive | cosmodad: no I didn't follow, but interesting. I was just going by what I read on the forums, and someone there expressly stated that cp was the wrong command to backup /home | 02:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: The pidgin in the repos should be the one you have installed... but feel free... | 02:43 |
| luca | Jack_Sparrow: i had them before but cant remember how to install them | 02:43 |
| gilda | try cp -Rvf that usually nails it to a wall | 02:43 |
| cosmodad | danbhfive: apparently, it is. That's why I use rsync for such things. | 02:43 |
| Celes | it wouldnt update it :( | 02:43 |
| mac43123 | ripp3r666 are you back? | 02:43 |
| cosmodad | ripp3r666: I'll test... ;) | 02:44 |
| ripp3r666 | mac43123, no im just typing ;) | 02:44 |
| cosmodad | gilda: that wouldn't include hidden files either. | 02:44 |
| danbhfive | cosmodad: yeah, I use rsync -aS | 02:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: You already have the version from the repos, which is why I said to use getdeb, as I personally tested it and know it works | 02:44 |
| mac43123 | haha | 02:44 |
| ripp3r666 | cosmodad, mv ~/* /new/home :P | 02:44 |
| gilda | cosmodad, if forcing it u shure ? | 02:44 |
| ripp3r666 | use sudo | 02:44 |
| LOLpc | hahah!! | 02:44 |
| cosmodad | danbhfive: I like to add -P, allows resuming. | 02:44 |
| LOLpc | i booted ubuntu off my old ipod | 02:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: I gotta get dinner on the table... find me if you need me... | 02:45 |
| venz | I followed the guide here for install a light wieght Ubuntu ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems). I used XFCE4 XORG but after I installed them and reboot to the GUI, I can seem to access the terminal, is the terminal sa seperate installed package? | 02:45 |
| mike5805 | LOLpc: how | 02:45 |
| zil2 | danbhfive: that came up with a message saying "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting xxxxx" (if you want me to, il type the rest | 02:45 |
| zil2 | danbhfive: should I just restart now? | 02:45 |
| cosmodad | gilda: -f doesn't affect what files are copied. | 02:45 |
| * Celes searches for Jack_Sparrow on the black pearl yet still cant find him | 02:45 | |
| mike5805 | lolPC: u mean like an external hardrive? | 02:45 |
| LOLpc | mike5805: its not running on the ipod, yeah | 02:45 |
| danbhfive | zil2: you can just use ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:45 |
| LOLpc | but the comp wasnt recognizing it, so i feel victorious | 02:46 |

| rudolph | jajajaja so much action in here hehe hard to get voice heard | 03:15 |
| glickster | yeah cause i heard that ubuntu had some issues with the 830 and i have one on the way | 03:15 |
| bts3685 | xthegoat121x: yes and no. | 03:15 |
| xthegoat121x | bts3685, do explain, please. | 03:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zelrikriando: Did you find a new effect? | 03:16 |
| xthegoat121x | Would I be better off switching to, say, Emerald? | 03:16 |
| zelrikriando | Jack_Sparrow: I found a new "shortcut" with my mouse | 03:16 |
| bts3685 | xthegoat121x: yes because every additional thing you run no matter what platform always has an effect, be it large or small. no because compared to the eye candy of vi$ta, compiz is almost negligible | 03:16 |
| zelrikriando | ...to fold the window | 03:16 |
| Creationist | Could someone please tell me how to disable TwinView in xorg.conf? | 03:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | xthegoat121x: YEs, the cute effects have some overhead. | 03:16 |
| bts3685 | Creationist: comment it out in xorg.conf..? | 03:17 |
| jason | thay say the same about apples auqa them | 03:17 |
| jason | theam*& | 03:17 |
| jason | i have a question... | 03:17 |
| Creationist | bts3685: I don't see it in xorg.conf anywhere. I remember in the past, I had to specifically write a line to disable it. It was the only way to fix my refresh rate problem. | 03:17 |
| xthegoat121x | bts3685, Jack_Sparrow, I know that, what I mean is that I seem to be able to do less with 512MB on my tower than I could with my Laptop, and the only difference is Emerald instead of Metacity, and ATI instead of Intel | 03:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | glickster: Whatever they are. it should be minor like wifi or something that can be fixed | 03:17 |
| bts3685 | Creationist: http://www.technologyvault.co.uk/geforce/faq.php?lang=en&navframe=1&layout=def&catnr=2&faqnr=169&prog=gef&display=faq it was the first google result. | 03:18 |
| jason | how can i remove the ubuntu and gome help links under system menu? | 03:18 |
| bts3685 | xthegoat121x: ooooh. 512 can get a little messy, but it may handle emerald | 03:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | glickster: Is the tower using shared video ram | 03:19 |
| Creationist | bts3685: Uhm... I'm not running Windows, dude. | 03:19 |
| bts3685 | Creationist: try the same line in xorg.conf | 03:19 |
| Creationist | bts3685: But thanks for trying to noobify me.... I already have been trying google. | 03:19 |
| glickster | Jack_Sparrow: its a laptop, and no it has a nvidia 256mb vid card | 03:19 |
| xthegoat121x | bts3685, I'm aware of the risks, I was just worried that maybe the combination would be detrimental, like mixing WM isn't a good thing. | 03:19 |
| dirkg3nt1y | jason, the are probably .desktops in /usr/share/applications | 03:19 |
| Creationist | bts3685: Where would I put it, though? What section? | 03:19 |
| jason | ok il check thanks dirkg3nt1y | 03:19 |
| bts3685 | Creationist: driver section, is my guess | 03:20 |
| Ussr1943 | has anyone here sucessfully installed onto an external HDD before? and could help me with a problem? | 03:20 |
| jason | btw is this chat moderated ? | 03:20 |
| hsystemxX | remastersys, very interesting tool. | 03:20 |
| jason | like no one can mess my system up | 03:20 |
| Flannel | jason: yes | 03:20 |
| Mamaa | hi | 03:20 |
| jason | ok | 03:20 |
| bts3685 | xthegoat121x: oh! no, as long as the proper libs are installed it shouldn't be that dangerous at all | 03:20 |
| jason | good | 03:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | I gotta get back to dinner... glickster not enough info for me to give an answer... | 03:20 |
| xthegoat121x | bts3685, all right. | 03:20 |

| Peddy | Hey everyone, I am running Ubuntu in a Dual-Boot but I can't see my windows partitions. can anyone help? | 03:21 |
| tim_ | I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and it is Fine No Probs with it ! | 03:21 |
| Flannel | Wamphyri: Try 7.10, and also, use the alternate CD instead of the Desktop CD (while you're downloading a CD, might as well get one that'll work regardless) | 03:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Wamphyri: the 8600 is specifically named as not working with our drivers in the wiki.. | 03:22 |

| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:22 |
| Creationist | bts3685: There is no "driver" section. And a google search for "TwinViewDisabled linux" doesn't provide any usable results. | 03:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | !helpme | 03:23 |
| ubotu | 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 | 03:23 |
| Wamphyri | Sparrow would i be able to install in text mode and upgrade? | 03:23 |
| Wamphyri | i have the ubuntu dvd | 03:23 |
| Flannel | Wamphyri: yeah. If you've got the DVD, install in text mode | 03:23 |
| Wamphyri | ok | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Wamphyri: Yes... vesa mode from cli if needed to get basic gui | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 | 03:23 |

| Peddy | Can someone help me to see the Windows partitions in a dual-boot configuration? | 03:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Tag.. hi nickrud | 03:25 |
| Ussr1943 | Is there anyone here who's had expirience with installing ubuntu onto an external hdd that could help me? Thanks for your consideration. | 03:25 |
| KiD_ChAoS | how do you take ownership of files on a windows partition with Ubuntu? | 03:25 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow: hi, just passing thru while checking returns | 03:25 |
| Scout | How do I install sound cards? I am so lost here, I have tried every tutorial I found for my specific card | 03:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | KiD_ChAoS: Permissions... on a windows drive ? | 03:25 |
| KiD_ChAoS | yes Jack_Sparrow ? | 03:26 |
| skaka_ | thank nickrud | 03:26 |
| newbuntu22 | i just installed ubuntu for the first time... it doesnt seem to recognize my 2 other internal IDE drives... anyone have any advice? | 03:26 |
| Scout | How do I install sound cards? I am so lost here, I have tried every tutorial I found for my specific card | 03:26 |
| nickrud | KiD_ChAoS: use defaults,umask=007,gid=46 in /etc/fstab and make sure you're in the plugdev group | 03:26 |
| KiD_ChAoS | how do i check if im on the plugdev group? | 03:27 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: sudo fdisk -l will tell you if linux is seeing your all your hard drives | 03:27 |
| nickrud | KiD_ChAoS: groups in a terminal | 03:27 |
| newbuntu22 | nickrud: how do i access sudo? :P (this is my first time using linux) | 03:27 |
| TheFishy | Archlinux or freebsd whats better? | 03:27 |
| scguy318 | newbuntu22: when prompted, enter your user password | 03:27 |
| halojen | /msg ubotu flashissues | 03:28 |
| nickrud | KiD_ChAoS: that doesn't actually make you own the files, but you can read/write if mounted with ntfs-3g | 03:28 |
| scguy318 | newbuntu22: sudo elevates a program to root privs provided that the user is in /etc/sudoers | 03:28 |
| scguy318 | newbuntu22: *user invoking sudo | 03:28 |
| nickrud | !sudo | newbuntu22 (this will answer some questions, come back with anything you don't understand) | 03:28 |
| ubotu | newbuntu22 (this will answer some questions, come back with anything you don't understand): sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 03:28 |
| pppoe_dude | anyone know why recordmydesktop is giving me choppy audio? | 03:29 |
| KiD_ChAoS | nickrud, yes im trying to copy all the files off of a windows partition to my box but i know using windows to copy another windows partition from another computer you need to take ownership of the first or you will get access violations | 03:29 |
| newbuntu22 | thanks.. it sees dev1, dev2, and dev3 , but not my other drives | 03:29 |
| Scout | How do I choose which sound card to use?? | 03:30 |
| nickrud | KiD_ChAoS: assuming you're writing to the ntfs drive, and it's mounted with ntfs-3g , having it mounted as I described above will give you proper permissions | 03:30 |
| KiD_ChAoS | ok nickrud | 03:30 |
| nickrud | KiD_ChAoS: it sets it up so anyone in the group plugdev can write to the mounted drive | 03:30 |
| acehigh | is there a package that i can install to create a imaging server using ubuntu 7.0? I want to be able to network boot a laptop and image it using this feature | 03:31 |
| moon_g | anyone knows if there's a good address book for ubuntu, more or less like one that of macosx? | 03:31 |
| BinarySphinx | Hey, Alex from work, you in here? I tried to get my phone working, but couldn't get past the driver issue. (This message sent from FF IRC plugin.) | 03:31 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: dev1 etc isn't what it's telling you, you need to be precise | 03:31 |
| RasterBurner | hey how do i install aplications i downloaded? i cant figure it out!!! | 03:32 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: a good tool is to copy and paste the output from sudo fdisk -l on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give us the link so we can see it | 03:32 |
| newbuntu22 | thanks nickrud | 03:32 |
| Ussr1943 | Anyone have any expirience with getting a fresh ubuntu install on an external HDD running? | 03:33 |
| BinarySphinx | Lol, did you download an RPM? | 03:33 |
| moon_g | anyone? | 03:33 |
| Andre_Gondim | nickrud, if it's .deb you just need do sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 03:33 |
| acehigh | is there a package that i can install to create a imaging server using ubuntu 7.0? I want to be able to network boot a laptop and image it using this feature | 03:33 |
| nickrud | RasterBurner: apps come in a bunch of different formats. If you find an app you want to use, try searching for it in synaptic (ctl-f) first | 03:34 |
| RasterBurner | its.jar... | 03:34 |
| Wamphyri | is ubuntu pretty fluent with sli? | 03:34 |
| fouadz | Hi , | 03:34 |

| nickrud | ugg, I don't run java apps at all RasterBurner | 03:34 |
| BinarySphinx | Wamphyri: Good question. But what are you running on ubuntu that requires sli, lol. | 03:34 |
| TangentBuntu | hello people of ubuntu | 03:34 |
| newbuntu22 | it sees my 160 GB drive, but does not even mention my other drives | 03:34 |
| Wamphyri | Binary prolly nothing maybe somthing in wine lol | 03:35 |
| nickrud | moon_g: the usual addressbook is in evolution | 03:35 |
| TangentBuntu | how do I correctly start xinit? | 03:35 |
| Wamphyri | but i have sli in my machine i would like to use it lol | 03:35 |
| Flannel | !java | RasterBurner | 03:35 |
| ubotu | RasterBurner: 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) | 03:35 |
| tedp | what's the state of hardy freeze? can i request a sync of a debian package? | 03:35 |
| BinarySphinx | lol, anything you run through wine probably doesn't need SLI, if it works at all. :p | 03:35 |
| tcpdumpgod | Whats a easy way to be able to listen to the previews of songs off Amazon.com or something of the sort. | 03:35 |
| * tedp goes searching | 03:35 | |
| Wamphyri | ol | 03:35 |
| nickrud | tedp: I don't know if it's frozen yet. You would ask on #ubuntu-motu | 03:35 |
| Wamphyri | lol* | 03:35 |
| Terrak | busy place... | 03:35 |
| tcpdumpgod | MPlayer mozilla plugin does not seem to want to be doing it. | 03:35 |
| fouadz | I have an issue on my system , I installed xchm long time ago and now I want to use gnochm , I'v installed it it worked fine.. but if I double click on .chm it doest opoen with gnochm and xchm is still as an option when I do a right click on the file | 03:36 |
| fouadz | any idea how to fix that ? | 03:36 |
| BinarySphinx | BTW, anyone know how to get wine running on a PS3 install of YellowDog? | 03:36 |
| BinarySphinx | (I know, wrong channel) | 03:36 |
| bcx | Does anyone know the name of the component that causes drivers to be loaded/linked when I plug in a USB device? | 03:36 |
| Flannel | tedp: #ubuntu-motu is probably your best bet, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyReleaseSchedule | 03:36 |
| Ussr1943 | Anyone good with external HDD installs? | 03:36 |
| bcx | My computer hasn't been booting cleanly, and somehow isn't loading drivers when I plug in USB devices | 03:36 |
| bcx | It use to be called hotplug | 03:36 |
| bcx | but I think that's been replaced by udev | 03:37 |
| tedp | thanks Flannel | 03:37 |
| nickrud | Flannel: doh, I should have guessed that name | 03:37 |
| TangentBuntu | nickrud: hey | 03:37 |
| nickrud | TangentBuntu: hi | 03:38 |
| TangentBuntu | you helped me with that server issue | 03:38 |
| RasterBurner | ok - so how would i install a .tar.gz game. i downloaded it, unzipped it to a folder, and now i cant figure out how to run it... | 03:38 |
| TangentBuntu | do you know anything about xserver? | 03:38 |
| nickrud | TangentBuntu: a bit | 03:38 |
| newbuntu22 | nickrud: please enlighten me with your genius | 03:38 |
| Flannel | RasterBurner: .tar.gz can mean a whole lot of different things (and with them, methods). What game is it? | 03:38 |
| TangentBuntu | I'm getting about 5 (EE) lines on typing "xinit" | 03:38 |
| scribe05 | help needed --I cannot figure out why my computer loads my sound card about every other time I boot (using ubuntu 7.1) If it doesn't load, I can shut down, restart and the card is recognized | 03:39 |
| RasterBurner | alien arena 2007 | 03:39 |
| * Celes pokes Jack_Sparrow | 03:39 | |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: lol, what genius :) sudo is similar in concept to using a password to perform administrator actions on vista | 03:39 |
| Jangari | Celes: | 03:39 |
| * Celes hugs Jangari | 03:39 | |
| Jangari | good evening | 03:39 |
| Celes | I missed you ! | 03:39 |
| skaka_ | what is root ?? | 03:39 |
| nickrud | TangentBuntu: if I'm trying to start from the command line, I put some commands in ~/.xinitrc and start X with startx | 03:40 |
| Jangari | did you get flash working? | 03:40 |
| Ussr1943 | any?, external usb hdd installation/boot help? | 03:40 |
| Flannel | RasterBurner: alien arena is in the repos already. Delete the targz, the stuff you downloaded. Open synaptic, and install the "alien-arena" package | 03:40 |
| Celes | Jangari, yes after I almost was hysterical to my brother lol | 03:40 |
| newbuntu22 | hehe... i read/understand sudo now... but apparently ubuntu does not recognize my other disk drives and i have no clue what to do (google results have yielded a bunch of things that make no sense to me) : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54953/ | 03:40 |
| Starnestommy | skaka_: root is the name of the superuser account in most unix-like systems | 03:40 |
| RasterBurner | :D how do i run synaptic? | 03:40 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: except that to do the administrator stuff you use your user password, since your user is given permission to do so | 03:41 |
| TangentBuntu | nickrud: how would I do that? | 03:41 |
| Celes | system>administration>synaptic manager | 03:41 |
| moon_g | is there an adressbook in ubuntu like one on macosx? | 03:41 |
| Flannel | RasterBurner: System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager, and for instructions on usage: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 03:41 |
| * Celes gives herself brownie pots | 03:41 | |
| LOLpc | well, ubuntu sucessfully installed, but i can connect to my wireless network, but i can't send/recieve any info the browser wont work | 03:41 |
| Jangari | hey,. i need to install a program as a non-superuser on a server where i don't have privileges, say, in ~/bin, is it possible? | 03:41 |
| Celes | points* | 03:41 |
| Starnestommy | Jangari: using sudo? | 03:41 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: I would have no clue about how to check for your drives without physical access, my limitation in skill | 03:41 |
| jason | that worked | 03:42 |
| Flannel | Jangari: Just install it there, and add ~/bin to your user path, sure. | 03:42 |
| Jangari | no, i don't have superuse privileges | 03:42 |
| acehigh | is there a package that i can install to create a imaging server using ubuntu 7.0? I want to be able to network boot a laptop and image it using this feature | 03:42 |
| nickrud | TangentBuntu: like gedit ~/.xinitrc , put the word gnome-session in it, save, then run startx | 03:42 |
| jason | ok how do i change the ubuntu icon on the main menu? | 03:42 |
| BinarySphinx | AAAAAAAaaaleeeex, from woooooorrrrrrrrrrk, you out there? I can't remember what you said your nick was. | 03:42 |
| newbuntu22 | nickrud: what would you do if you were in my position right now? | 03:42 |
| Jangari | okay, how about the lib files? | 03:42 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: windows sees the drives? | 03:42 |
| Jangari | Flannel, | 03:42 |
| zaius55 | Weird thing just popped up in Ubuntu. When I hold down the backspace key it only deletes 1 character I have to keep pressing it to delete more than 1. Would like to be able to hold it down ;) | 03:42 |
| xxploit_ | Ussr1943: if you currently have the hard drive hooked up unplug the power to it and repower it. Then do a dmesg | tail and it should show it picked up the device, then you can do fdisk -l and see where the device is located to mount it for use | 03:42 |
| zaius55 | Any ideas? | 03:42 |
| RasterBurner | thanks so much flannel | 03:42 |
| moon_g | any idea? | 03:42 |
| TangentBuntu | nickrud: what folder do I run that from, when I did "vi ~/.xinitrc" it di...oops, mistyped | 03:43 |
| TangentBuntu | hold on a minute | 03:43 |
| newbuntu22 | nickrud: windows did see the other two drives (i however have formatted windows since then and installed unbuntu in its place) | 03:43 |
| nickrud | moon_g: the address book in ubuntu is kept in evolution , the integrated mail thingo | 03:43 |
| TangentBuntu | nope | 03:43 |
| Ussr1943 | dmesg|tail ? | 03:43 |
| TangentBuntu | nickrud: I can't seem to find that file | 03:43 |
| Ussr1943 | if you don't mind slowin down | 03:43 |
| nickrud | TangentBuntu: you create it | 03:43 |
| jason | ok how do i change the ubuntu icon on the main menu? | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jason: You dont... It is possible, if you really know how things are put together.... | 03:44 |
| TangentBuntu | gnome-session | 03:44 |
| moon_g | i'm don't like using evolution, or any mail thingy | 03:44 |
| jason | hmm... | 03:44 |
| RasterBurner | thanks for the help guys! peace | 03:44 |
| jason | im thinking jack-desktop | 03:44 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: Whats up.. | 03:44 |

| jason | lol | 03:45 |
| TangentBuntu | would xfce-session work? | 03:45 |
| sausageToH | hey | 03:45 |
| newbuntu22 | nickrud: any advice? | 03:45 |
| jason | wp | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: Thanks, I could use some today... | 03:45 |
| sausageToH | whats the min system requirements for ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| FactTech | newbuntu22: Does your BIOS see the drives on startup? | 03:45 |
| sausageToH | or kubuntu.. | 03:45 |
| moon_g | nickrud: do you know one? | 03:45 |
| moon_g | thanks anyways | 03:45 |
| sausageToH | i have a p3 dell inspiron | 03:45 |
| Jangari | sausageToH: if you can run windows, you can run ubuntu | 03:45 |
| nickrud | newbuntu22: not really. the first thing I would do is check my plugs, then beg for help here :) | 03:45 |
| sausageToH | it runs 95/98 | 03:45 |
| sausageToH | wont do xp | 03:45 |
| newbuntu22 | nickrud: i'm going to make sure my bios recognizes the drives... no real reason behind it b/c windows did, but i'm going to try it and come back | 03:45 |
| Ussr1943 | so before i can boot form my usb external , i must mount it? | 03:45 |
| TangentBuntu | oh, going to xubuntu for that one | 03:46 |
| sausageToH | fluxbox? | 03:46 |

| xenthro | these f-s drivers, will they allow me to use them like normal drives, say if i wanted to install a game on them? | 05:04 |

| xenthro | Q: what is the difference between ext2/ext3 ? | 05:06 |
| Flannel | jc: do a complete removal. That'll remove config files as well as just the binaries. | 05:06 |
| jc | Marfi: I tried update and it does not fix anything | 05:06 |
| === Ttech is now known as I-Am-A-Fag | ||
| nickrud | Sinister: see above, I forgot to direct it at you | 05:06 |
| Flannel | xenthro: journalling, mostly. | 05:06 |
| xenthro | Flannel what is journaling? | 05:06 |
| jc | Flannel: and your sure that the removal of the unbuntu-desktop won't break anything? | 05:06 |
| Pirate_Hunter | soldats: thanx for the suggestions sleep well | 05:06 |

| soldats | :) thnanks | 05:06 |
| Zamboli | How would anyone like to help me configure my wireless?! Because i feel like i'm in a foreig country and don't speak the language | 05:06 |
| nickrud | xenthro: ext3 is ext2 with journaling, it helps reduce the time it takes to startup on a bad shutdown | 05:06 |
| Flannel | jc: guarantee it. You'll be putting it back in a minute anyway. | 05:07 |
| Zamboli | and it just doesnt want to work! arg | 05:07 |
| nickrud | lanzelloth: I've heard of desklets | 05:07 |
| Marfi | jc, try to delete the packages with cups in it from /var/cache/apt/archives | 05:07 |
| lanzelloth | Zamboli: what kind of wireless card is it? | 05:07 |
| xenthro | so ext3 is better than ext2? any serious drawbacks? | 05:07 |
| MagoonD | anyone know the answer to my question plz help me or else I am going to have to uninstall ubuntu | 05:07 |
| Flannel | xenthro: If you lose power halfway through a HDD write operation, youll be ok. | 05:07 |
| Marfi | then re-update, so it will download the packages | 05:07 |
| nickrud | jc: seconding flannel, as if he needs it | 05:07 |
| jc | Marfi: what will that do? | 05:07 |
| Sinister | thanks | 05:07 |
| Marfi | jc, it will let you redownload the package if the checksum was off | 05:08 |
| Marfi | jc, there may be a command to do it, if someone wants to help =) | 05:08 |
| Zamboli | lanzelloth: atheros 802.11 bg | 05:08 |
| xenthro | alrighty. thanks for the info guys | 05:08 |
| jc | Marfi: ok I'm going to try the reinstall first and then see if there is anything in the var/cache/apt/archives folder that I need to delete before I reinstall - keeping fingers crossed | 05:09 |
| Marfi | *crosses fingers* | 05:09 |
| xenthro | FYI, there is an entertaining package called "hot-babe". | 05:10 |
| Zamboli | lanzelloth: i don't think its my card because iwconfig gives me the correct MAC address and SSID of my router | 05:10 |
| dan_l | Hi. Anybody here familiar with adding start up programs to ubuntu? | 05:10 |

| * syc_ brb, makan siang dulu | 05:10 | |
| Zamboli | but i dont think i have an IP | 05:10 |
| lanzelloth | Zamboli: hmm, i'm not sure how to detect the card | 05:11 |
| dan_l | Flannel: Login, I suppose. I want tilda to start up automaticaly | 05:11 |
| xenthro | nickrud saw them before. its the only result i get when i search for "nude" in synaptic | 05:11 |
| Flannel | !startup | dan_l | 05:11 |
| ubotu | dan_l: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab.

| L3ttuc3 | say i hibernate before my linux box shuts itself down, is there a way to discard the hibernation data at boot time, and perform a normal boot? and should the hibernation data get somehow corrupted, is there a way to recover from that and do a normal boot? | 05:17 |
| Zombie | I'm working on a way to try and create my Forensic write Block at the software 'block device' level. In general, a filesystem can of course be mounted 'read only' but thats not the same thing as a forensic write block. What I am trying to do is make the block device for the thumb drive read only as well. (usually /dev/sda1 in the case of a thumb drive.) that would prevent the kernel from mounting it as writable.) I could just mount it usin | 05:17 |
| Zombie | g -ro, but HAL will change it right back. | 05:17 |
| lanzelloth | lekremyelsew: i mean if you click on the 'context' tab (on the left side) there's an option to add a 'label' | 05:18 |
| nickrud | zelrikriando: very little. My broadcom was supported by the restricted driver and network manager picked it up so I didn't have to learn much | 05:18 |
| zelrikriando | mygor: maybe burn another CD | 05:18 |

| compwiz18 | erawfish, just out of curiosity, why does it not work? | 05:32 |

| kikr | erawfish, well I had a large paragraph copied then I copied something else afterwards. is there any way to retrieve the large paragraph? | 05:34 |
| erawfish | gnome might have a hotkey app | 05:34 |
| erawfish | kikr: unlikely | 05:34 |
| kikr | boo. windows used to do that ;( | 05:34 |
| _nix_ | kikr: there should be something like klipper on gnome.. | 05:35 |
| jc | _nix_ : the only error is dpkg processing cupsys (--configure): | 05:35 |

| zcat[1] | jay-oh-en: which one? how you do it depends on what you're trying to copy | 05:43 |
| erawfish | jc: we can't say unless we see the actual, full error message | 05:44 |
| jay-oh-en | zcat[1], whats the name of the programs that can decrypt | 05:44 |
| erawfish | from start to finish. you only give us the tail end | 05:44 |
| compwiz18 | jay-oh-en, to copy a cd, you can use dd if=/dev/hdc of=/a/file/name | 05:44 |
| erawfish | jay-oh-en: decrypt WHAT?? | 05:44 |
| jc | erawfish: I can't send it here, its floods the system | 05:44 |

| aldaek | is it better to get 7.10 or 6.06 LTS? | 05:50 |
| wassa | erawfish.. .i don't get it though.. whenever i load up remote desktop.. i don't see the usual address or path.. it seems to be more about letting others onto this desktop | 05:50 |
| aldaek | and when is the newer LTS suppose to be out? | 05:50 |
| compwiz18 | aldaek, if you want a really stable desktop, 6.06, otherwise, for normal use, 7.10. 6.06 is also better for servers and the newest lts will be in april | 05:50 |
| jay-oh-en | after mediabuntu what do i do? | 05:50 |
| aldaek | so its going to be a 8.06 LTS? | 05:50 |
| Nuggets | checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 05:50 |
| compwiz18 | 8.04 LTS, yes. | 05:50 |
| aldaek | why 8.4? | 05:51 |
| compwiz18 | aldaek, 8 is the year, and 04 is the month | 05:51 |
| compwiz18 | of release | 05:51 |

| dogpigeoncow | ok we had problems getting onto ubuntu with a live cd. we got to a orange screen and a mouse but nothing beyond that. we then were told to change the boot options adding "- noapic" to the string. we then got to the desktop but the install option just wouldnt load. wat now???? | 05:55 |
| aldaek | so if i want stability and the ability for the cube, 6.06/ | 05:55 |
| aldaek | also, when should one think about going to 64 bit? | 05:55 |
| wassa | dogpigeoncow do a command line install | 05:55 |
| dogpigeoncow | how? | 05:56 |
| compwiz18 | aldaek, both 7.10 and 6.06 are very stable, and the cube will work easier in 7.10 | 05:56 |
| dogpigeoncow | and will i still get the partition option? | 05:56 |
| carpediem | aldaek: I did it two years ago....it's pretty easy compared to then | 05:56 |
| wassa | you need to download the text based installer | 05:56 |
| Noogen | suup: i have a nas driver and i was able to browse the network fine, i have a buffalo 500gb NAS | 05:56 |

| ePax | xenthro: So it mounts ntfs with read/wreite opermission? | 06:06 |

| xenthro | ePax yes, the ntfs-3g driver is a part of 7.10 | 06:06 |
| puff | user11_011: I've never really worked with jboss, but I've worked with java a bunch and been using ubuntu for a couple years. I strongly suspect you'll be doing a manual install process for jboss. | 06:06 |

| ouellettesr | how do i set permissions for group folder access to create and delete files? | 06:10 |
| ePax | Is it possible to only have read permission to NTFS? I mean is it "safe" to have r/w mount? | 06:10 |
| solrize | nuggets, yacc is probably in dev-essentials or something like that | 06:10 |

| ubotu | m0u5e: 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. | 06:12 |

| puff | Okay, I guess nobody cares then :-). | 06:19 |
| jc | Noogen: trying some of that stuff now... | 06:19 |
| compwiz18 | j_humphrey, on some computers it is- you have to check in the bios of the computer to see if it supports a wakeup time | 06:19 |
| puff | j_humphrey: Just a wild guess, but since it seems nobody here and awake knows enough to give you a real answer: I suspect it's theoretically possible, practically impossible. | 06:19 |
| blayde | j_humphrey, your BIOS will have to turn it on but ubuntu will log in alright | 06:19 |
| j_humphrey | oh, I didn't realize it was a BIOS thing | 06:20 |
| j_humphrey | thanks | 06:20 |
| aldaek | is there a way to seperate the password from user to root? | 06:20 |
| puff | j_humphrey: That is, "wake" being a vague term... if you mean go into some sort of suspend mode and then auto-resume at some point; there might conceivably be something out there. | 06:20 |
| aldaek | or a passwd root will do? | 06:20 |

| puff | idyllic: Which one is listead as its dependency? | 06:21 |
| idyllic | puff: java5 | 06:21 |

| mahmoud_ | ouelletesr: what are you trying to do? | 06:22 |
| puff | idyllic: Well yeah, you'll probably have to root around in the config files for glassfish and fix them. | 06:23 |
| puff | idyllic: But it shouldn't be to ohard. | 06:23 |
| BetaTest | How do I install new themes? | 06:23 |
| ouellettesr | mahmoud_, im trying to import a datebase from my old server but i get this error... http://pastebin.com/m13bc189a | 06:23 |
| puff | idyllic: I say this having never installed glassfish :-). But seriosuly, most app servers only have one or two places where the JDK pathhas to be wired in. | 06:23 |
| aldaek | last stupid/annoying question... is there a development repos that just keeps me up to date what the developers have while they are working on it? the rolling releases version/ | 06:23 |
| idyllic | puff: >.< thanks mate.. but i m a linux novice + i got school project to do with sun java webserver... so no time to play with config.. | 06:24 |
| wassa | i am assuming that rdesktop.. available in the package manager is the same rdesktop as rdesktop.org... why is it not giving me a simple option to connect to another computer instead of trying to share this one?? | 06:24 |

| blayde | aldaek, there's 'backports' but that's not super new stuff | 06:24 |
| puff | idyllic: Guess it's time for you to learn, then :-). | 06:24 |
| BetaTest | Ah, thank you puff | 06:25 |
| idyllic | puff: trouble... glassfish package frm ubuntu exit 0... failed to install >.< | 06:25 |
| aldaek | ok, what are backport again? !backports | 06:25 |
| puff | idyllic: Do you *have* to use glassfish? | 06:25 |
| aldaek | !backports | 06:25 |
| ubotu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 06:25 |
| puff | idyllic: Why not just use tomcat? | 06:25 |
| aldaek | hmm.. ok | 06:25 |
| blayde | aldaek, backports are packages for a new distro release that are good enough to go back one | 06:25 |
| mahmoud_ | ouelletesr: are you sure that the mysql username "remember" exists and with create database permissions? (join #mysql , they will be able to help you) | 06:25 |
| puff | idyllic: And do you *have* to use both glassfish and java6? | 06:26 |
| idyllic | puff: well is it similar to sun web server app? | 06:26 |
| blayde | aldaek, if that makes any sense... :/ | 06:26 |
| Kuwanger | Hey. I'm having issues with pulseaudio. :/ | 06:26 |
| puff | idyllic: Java6 added some nice stuff, but nothing earthshaking AFAICR. | 06:26 |
| thor | Hi all | 06:26 |
| puff | idyllic: Hm, well I don't know glassfish's specs fully, but most app servers, most people just usethe servlets and jsp stuff. | 06:27 |
| ouellettesr | mahmoud_, i think it may be because of the name of the database. my new web server wants to name all databases with _remember and the database im trying to inport ends with _nexgenwebs | 06:27 |
| puff | Okay, gotta chill for a bit. Ciao. | 06:27 |
| Kuwanger | Specifically, I've tried routing alsa through pulseaudio, but I'm still having alsa programs that fail to work while pulseaudio is running. | 06:27 |
| idyllic | puff: well i need glassfish to run jsp.. | 06:27 |
| ouellettesr | mahmoud_, yeah i tried askin in mysql they wont help me | 06:27 |

| compwiz18 | alright, so i've got fglrx working on my external monitor connected to my laptop, and all is good, except that it things that max res that my monitor supports is 1024x768, when in reality it can do 1680x1050.

| blayde | Kuwanger, well that shows what i know :P in that case you might try a mailing list as no one here seems to know much about it yet | 06:33 |

| xSnOoPyx | alright, so i defined everything correctly in the java source, but when i try to run it, it says main class missing, which is weird because it works in windows just fine. in windows however i put the dll files in system folder | 07:01 |
| squarebracket | solid_liq: ya, i figured that out when you said apt, cuz i saw that i was updating some linux-<name> packages. at least now i know why this keeps happening. | 07:01 |
| nepbabu | xSnOoPyx, copy it to /usr/lib/. then try again. | 07:01 |

| xenthro | MagoonD "cd /" = root | 07:36 |
| Kuwanger | verma: ERr, sorry, HUP, not NOHUP. You can use "nohup" as a wrapper around a program to avoid programs receiving the signal. | 07:36 |
| Frogzoo_ | Bingo: plug it in should be enough | 07:36 |
| joot | PKdor, how about you open synaptic and search awn?? | 07:36 |

| verma | Though I am using Ubuntu at home and thus question in this room :) | 07:37 |
| Kuwanger | verma: The simplest way to check is to login, run a program in the background, logout, then login again and see if it's still running. :) | 07:37 |
| nepbabu | MagoonD, alt+f2, and type "nautilus" | 07:37 |

| Saelynh | hello | 07:47 |
| eternalist | I'm having problems with the sound and ive already followed the guide that !sound gives you | 07:47 |
| eternalist | unfortunately i am unable to diagnose the problem | 07:47 |
| eternalist | and it's not like a fresh install and the sound wasn't working, it was working before then i mustve done something (other than muting becuase its not muted) | 07:48 |
| Sap | oh, the default is 6667, so u mean i change that to 8001 ? | 07:48 |
| nepbabu | Sap, yes | 07:48 |
| Nyle | eternalist: did you update anything | 07:48 |
| kasra | PKdoR: forget that wiki (its not loaded yet for me !) do these | 07:48 |
| eternalist | I don't know | 07:48 |
| Sap | k, done. save now? | 07:48 |
| eternalist | Nyle: What can I do to check if a process keeps tying up the dsp device | 07:48 |
| nepbabu | Sap, yes | 07:48 |
| eternalist | ps aux | grep "dsp"? | 07:48 |
| xenthro | eternalist, is it a laptop that you dual boot with windows? | 07:48 |
| kasra | PKdoR: you know how to add repos by editing source.list ? | 07:49 |
| eternalist | yes | 07:49 |
| eternalist | ibm thinkpad t42 | 07:49 |
| nepbabu | eternalist, ps -ef | grep sound also | 07:49 |
| eternalist | nepbabu: both gave me nothing :( | 07:49 |
| eternalist | xenthro: what do you reckon? | 07:49 |
| PKdoR | kasra: not really I usually ither use the term or straight throu sypnati | 07:49 |
| nepbabu | eternalist, it's not being used then. | 07:49 |
| Sap | nepbabu, i am using the same name and it says 'NickServ: (notice) This nickname is owned by someone else' | 07:49 |
| nepbabu | eternalist, alsamixer? | 07:49 |
| Sap | so i'l log off from here and try again | 07:49 |
| eternalist | nepbabu: checked, it's fine | 07:49 |
| xenthro | eternalist, this is going to sound stupid, but it worked for me. power off your lappie, unplug the power and remove the battery for 15 secs. boot into ubuntu and see if that helps | 07:49 |
| nepbabu | Sap, change the nickname | 07:49 |
| eternalist | xenthro: oh man, i dont know if i wana remove the battery. | 07:50 |
| eternalist | xenthro: i dont think i even know how | 07:50 |
| eternalist | xenthro: okay brb | 07:50 |
| kasra | PKdoR: ok , first open a terminal , type sudo nano /etc/apt/source.list | 07:50 |
| Sap | btw, before i log off from here, how do i join #ubuntu from that pidgin window | 07:50 |
| joot | PKdor, my bad you are right I just looked. Sorry I do not know the answer then :-( | 07:50 |
| nepbabu | eternalist, alsamixer first and see | 07:50 |
| eternalist | i checked | 07:50 |
| eternalist | its not muted | 07:50 |
| xenthro | eternalist, there should be a simple latch on the bottom | 07:50 |
| nepbabu | ok | 07:50 |
| Sap | nvm, i can change the nicname for now, how? | 07:50 |
| tijn | what does the T attribute in a file stands for? | 07:50 |
| nepbabu | Sap, do /ns help | 07:51 |
| kasra | PKdoR: nano is a simple editor , we use it to edit source.list and add some repos for apt that include awn | 07:51 |
| PKdoR | kasra: ok but its empty | 07:51 |
| joot | PKdoR, I meant to type maybe you made a key in error when you followed the howto | 07:51 |

| eternalist | yea it is | 07:52 |
| nepbabu | ok | 07:52 |

| razordead | lanzelloth: rmdir | 08:22 |
| Tuv0k | I removed the ,ICEauth file | 08:22 |
| astro76 | lanzelloth: rm -r, rmdir only works if it's empty | 08:22 |

| tockitj | Q: how to add man pages for c functions to ubuntu ? | 08:24 |
| nepbabu | rdp, it backs up your data (as raw data) to someimage.so | 08:24 |
| nepbabu | rdp, someimage.iso | 08:25 |
| lanzelloth | astro76: hmm, ok | 08:25 |
| rdp | richard@RD-Laptop-Ubuntu:~$ dd if=/dev/sda1 /mnt/someimage.iso; | 08:25 |

| nepbabu | rdp, dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/mnt/someimage.iso | 08:25 |
| rdp | nepbabu: if it means anyhting, the drive still has its name. It is called 500GB Backup and when i tried to mount it it says cannot mount 500GB Backup | 08:25 |
| razordead | Q: when the Ubuntu flashplugin-nonfree package is working, does it generally have working sound in Firefox? | 08:25 |
| astro76 | lanzelloth: it would remove the dir without removing the files, I guess leaving the files in some netherland | 08:26 |
| nepbabu | rdp, and hence your drive is corrupted, so i suggest dd/ddrescue | 08:26 |
| joot | rdp, if you have a single word enquiry put a ! infront of the word and the bot will spit out an answer | 08:26 |
| Slart | razordead: for me it has.. but I've read many questions about sound in flash so that might not be the case for everyone | 08:26 |
| astro76 | rdp, joot actually /msg ubotu enquiry would be much better ;) | 08:26 |
| razordead | slart: at the moment, I'm running the install directly from Adobe & sound isn't working | 08:27 |
| tonyyarusso | razordead: Yes, in all recent releases. | 08:27 |
| astro76 | if it's for yourself | 08:27 |
| joot | he asked about the "!" | 08:27 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:27 |
| nepbabu | revilodraw, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xdaliclock | 08:28 |

| revilodraw | ok ok here's what id like.. a white digital clock displaying the time and date 'built in' to the desktop | 08:47 |
| ikonia | revilodraw: I'm sure there is a desklet for that | 08:47 |
| kahrytan | revilodraw-> not even Windows Vista has that | 08:48 |
| revilodraw | ikonia; ok so i install gdesklets right? | 08:48 |
| revilodraw | kahrytan: linux > windows | 08:48 |
| ikonia | revilodraw check if there is one first | 08:48 |

| ikonia | sigma: what model laptop is it | 08:48 |

| ikonia | kahrytan: yes it is | 08:49 |
| sigma | ikonia: sure, one sec | 08:49 |
| kahrytan | ikonia-> I dont consider widgets builtin. They just layer on top of desktop | 08:49 |

| famicon | uhm yeha | 09:14 |
| Lopin | Srixon, All of them... | 09:15 |
| Lopin | There's a couple of ways to do it... | 09:15 |
| Lopin | the big one is... | 09:15 |
| Lopin | Shoot... Lost the name... | 09:15 |
| Lopin | Wukubi? | 09:15 |
| dgjones | !install | Srixon | 09:15 |
| ubotu | Srixon: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD?

| ZerO^Coo| | i got 7.10 installed i had a ntfs hdd installed before than after backing my old stuff to the new hdd i removed it i have set the 2nd hdd to /home and whene i removed the old hdd i cant see it | 09:15 |
| Lopin | You want to install from like windows, right? | 09:16 |
| famicon | just repartiton your drive, add a new file system, install ubuntu on that | 09:16 |
| famicon | then reboot into it | 09:16 |
| idefix | is the chance more likely that PC's lag after midnight? | 09:16 |
| Srixon | Lopin, Correct. | 09:16 |
| Lopin | Yeah... There's a thing out there that does it... | 09:16 |
| Lopin | It's a net based installer... | 09:16 |
| ZerO^Coo| | no man lol | 09:16 |
| doktoreas | hello everybody | 09:16 |
| Lopin | It just adds grub to the windows boot loader list... | 09:16 |
| ZerO^Coo| | listen il tell you my config right now oky | 09:16 |
| Srixon | Famicon, Ubuntu doesnt work like that from what i've seen, windows cannot read the files. | 09:16 |
| xenthro | Q: i have an archive with many .tar.gz archives. how do i extract them all? | 09:16 |
| doktoreas | is there an emelf file manager style for GTK? | 09:16 |
| ZerO^Coo| | 80 gb hdd as a boot drive with 7.10 oky | 09:16 |
| Lopin | Then, it starts the installer images from the windows partition... | 09:16 |
| famicon | Srixon Im not gonna help you anymore | 09:17 |
| famicon | you are a clueless luser | 09:17 |
| ZerO^Coo| | then i had a ntfs hdd 200 gb hdd with lots of files and stuff | 09:17 |
| Srixon | famicon, Thanks! | 09:17 |
| Slart | idefix: huh? what do you mean? lag in games? | 09:17 |
| ZerO^Coo| | so then i conected a 120 gb hdd and backed all the stuff to the new hard disk but be fore i made it a home partition the 120 gb | 09:17 |
| foolkpopi | how bad does it feel to starve or is there any bad feeling at all? do i always have to stay in full stomach? | 09:18 |
| ZerO^Coo| | now after i removed the 200 gb from my pc the home partition its telling me that i got 9 gb space left and only got 30 gb of stuff | 09:18 |
| idefix | Slart yes | 09:18 |
| Slart | foolkpopi: do you have an ubuntu question? | 09:18 |
| Srixon | well i have like 10 copies of the ubuntu cd. 7.10 i just found | 09:19 |
| kiosk | chat | 09:19 |
| foolkpopi | Slart yes why does ubuntu has so many users even though it is new distro? | 09:19 |
| Srixon | but the UUE was great. | 09:19 |
| Srixon | thanks much Lopin! | 09:19 |
| Slart | idefix: lag depends mostly on the network.. if you use you're computer when everyone else is asleep.. then yes, i guess lag would get smaller | 09:19 |
| sigma | well, I know one thing now... the problem with the bluetooth isn;t because of xserver-xgl | 09:19 |
| Lopin_ | srixon | 09:20 |
| Slart | foolkpopi: I can only speak for myself.. I use it because so many other people use it.. any more questions? | 09:20 |
| Lopin_ | They leave? | 09:20 |
| kandinski | boing | 09:20 |
| razordead | heh & he was using Azureus for IRC no less... that's definitely a clueless luser there | 09:20 |
| Slart | shesh.. change that you're to your.. sorry | 09:20 |
| foolkpopi | Slart how is ubuntu better than open suse? | 09:20 |
| Minifig | Does anyone know of Linux Mint? | 09:21 |
| Slart | foolkpopi: I wouldn't know.. I haven't used open suse | 09:21 |
| kandinski | I am mid-install of 7.10, and it asks me which kernel do I want. I have a Pentium-M (Centrino, 1.2 Ghz) from 2004. Which kernel do I pick? | 09:21 |
| foolkpopi | Slart why not is it because it is bad? | 09:21 |
| popey | !mind > Minifig | 09:21 |
| popey | !mint > Minifig | 09:21 |
| ZerO^Coo| | sory guys i made a fault lol now i realized it hah | 09:21 |
| Minifig | I could use help. I installed Mint XFCE, then installed KDE. I don't see my NTFS partitions on the second hard drive. | 09:21 |

| popey | Minifig: #linuxmint channel for support on Linux Mint | 09:22 |
| Slart | foolkpopi: I have no idea.. I haven't tried it... I just tried ubuntu, I liked it and I didn't try any other distros after that | 09:22 |
| Minifig | Did I do something wrong? | 09:22 |
| Minifig | There is not really anyone there, | 09:22 |
| Minifig | 4 people in chat. | 09:22 |
| Slart | Minifig: we get a lot of people asking mint-related questions which we can't answer.. that's all | 09:22 |
| foolkpopi | Slart but ubuntu is laggy and slow | 09:22 |
| Israel_ | hi | 09:22 |
| popey | foolkpopi: this channel is for support questions, not general chatter | 09:23 |
| Slart | foolkpopi: your opinion | 09:23 |
| Minifig | Okay, then in ubuntu, how would you access the NTFS partitions so Linux see it and can use them? | 09:23 |
| Slart | Minifig: use ntfs-3g.. mount the drive.. access the files | 09:23 |
| popey | !ntfs > Minifig | 09:23 |
| Minifig | Isn't it the same for different versions of Linux? | 09:23 |
| Minifig | Thank you | 09:23 |
| Slart | Minifig: linux can be very very different and strange if it wants to be =) | 09:23 |

| Israel_ | thanks | 09:25 |

| hades | Hi All | 09:31 |
| hades | i screwed up my grub | 09:31 |
| kandinski | repeated question, in case someone can help: | 09:31 |
| kandinski | I am mid-install of 7.10, and it asks me which kernel do I want. I have a Pentium-M (Centrino, 1.2 Ghz) from 2004. Which kernel do I pick? | 09:32 |
| hades | i have read the tips on how to fix it | 09:32 |
| popey | kandinski: what options do you have? | 09:32 |
| kandinski | linux-generic | 09:32 |
| stf_ | Hi. Is there a vga=*** kernel option for 1365x768? | 09:32 |
| kandinski | linux-image-386 | 09:32 |
| popey | kandinski: linux-generic | 09:32 |
| hades | I am running the live cd trying to figure out which is my old boot partition | 09:33 |
| kandinski | linux-image-generic | 09:33 |
| stf_ | Or some other kernel option I could use? Like "video=vesa:1365x768@60"? | 09:33 |
| hades | i can mount that boot partition, but i need to know its /dev/sda??? how do i find that out? | 09:33 |
| kandinski | and then linux-versionnumber-generic | 09:33 |
| popey | hades: fdisk -l | 09:33 |
| kandinski | popey, thanks | 09:33 |
| Israel_ | stupid bind9 | 09:33 |
| hades | Popey, i have done that, but it doesnt give me a clue which hard drive listed is at /media/disk | 09:34 |
| === hades is now known as Hadeshorn | ||
| popey | "mount" | 09:34 |
| Hadeshorn | Also another wierd thing is that when i try and list all my partitions in gparted, no partitions are listed.. however i can mount partitions and explore them in the live cd | 09:34 |
| Hadeshorn | Popey thanks that helps | 09:35 |
| Hadeshorn | brb | 09:35 |
| popey | explore them and you will find boot files on the right onw | 09:35 |
| popey | one | 09:35 |
| zardosht | Hi all, -newbie- I use dual boot xp ubuntu, I want to reinstall xp, but afraid boot.ini overwritten on ubuntu grub boot loader, whats the solution ? thanks | 09:36 |

| popey | zardosht: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 09:38 |

| vanchu | anyone know where I can find compiz pluggins ? | 09:40 |
| popey | vanchu: the package compiz-compcomm-plugins-main has some | 09:40 |
| popey | vanchu: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra has more | 09:41 |
| hitguy | ??? | 09:41 |
| vanchu | I'm actually looking for one that makes my computer look like a mac when I minimize and maximize windows | 09:42 |
| Hadeshorn | hey if my hard drive is sda1 sda2 etc my dev for that is sda? | 09:42 |
| popey | vanchu: the genie type effect? | 09:42 |
| vanchu | yeah | 09:42 |
| vanchu | that the one | 09:43 |
| popey | vanchu: i think that's one fo the default ones | 09:43 |
| vanchu | lol | 09:43 |
| popey | you can use compizconfig-settings-manager to configure it | 09:43 |
| popey | !ccsm | 09:43 |
| 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 | 09:43 |
| popey | \o/ | 09:43 |
| popey | Hadeshorn: if you have partitions sda1 and sda2 then yes sda is the device - or /dev/sda for the full name | 09:43 |
| vanchu | I couldnt find it in the options | 09:44 |
| Hadeshorn | popey, well it says that /dev/sda is not found or not a block device | 09:44 |
| Hadeshorn | grub-install /dev/sda | 09:44 |
| popey | Hadeshorn: but /dev/sda shows up in "fdisk -l"? | 09:45 |
| xst | It seems pretty impossible to get the ATI dreiver to work in gutsy (suspend/resume doesn't work). :-( How can I get the very latest proprietary ATI-driver by using the Restricted Manager and how can I upgrade to kernel 2.6.24 (which is apparently required for that driver to work?)? | 09:45 |
| popey | vanchu: I can't find it either :) but I am sure it is in there | 09:45 |
| vanchu | hmm lol | 09:46 |
| popey | xst: you would either need to upgrade to the development version of ubuntu (hardy) - not recommended, or compile your own kernel (also, not recommened) | 09:46 |
| Hadeshorn | popey yes | 09:46 |
| xst | popey: So there is no other way round? | 09:46 |
| popey | xst: not an easy way, no | 09:47 |
| popey | !hardy | xst | 09:47 |
| ubotu | xst: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 09:47 |
| sky_ | why's 804 not recommended? | 09:47 |
| sky_ | because its not ready? | 09:47 |
| popey | yes | 09:47 |
| popey | it breaks :) | 09:47 |
| bod_ | sky_, its still in alpha ,.,.loadsa bugs | 09:47 |
| sky_ | ah | 09:48 |
| sky_ | dang it I wish flash was fixed... | 09:48 |
| popey | it is | 09:48 |
| popey | enable the -proposed repo | 09:48 |
| sky_ | stupid adobe and their weird broken installs | 09:48 |
| popey | !flash | 09:48 |
| 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 » | 09:48 |
| sky_ | popey: whenever I open a few youtube/flash pages suddenly flash just... dies | 09:49 |
| sky_ | or something | 09:49 |
| sky_ | its screwed up | 09:49 |
| popey | 32-bit? | 09:49 |
| bod_ | sky_, flash works perfectly,.,. theres just no official release of a fi | 09:49 |
| sky_ | I'd enable Gnash if it didn't mess things up | 09:49 |
| sky_ | 64bit | 09:49 |
| Hadeshorn | I really dont want to have to install ubuntu again, why cant grub just friggen work! | 09:49 |
| alpaco | sky_: try installing gnash instead of flash and see what happens | 09:49 |
| sky_ | bod_: not for me. | 09:49 |
| bod_ | sky_ im running 64 bit | 09:49 |
| xst | popey: I have tried all four alpha versions of Hardy in order to test screen/monitor configuration, but the System Settings>Monitor&Display has been broken in all of them. Very depressing. Also the Restricted Manager has been missing. :-( Therefore: The (should be) simple task of configuring an external monitor to my laptop is completely impossible. | 09:49 |
| Hadeshorn | sky, i used to try and use 64 bit, its more hassle then its worth.. come back to 32bit | 09:49 |
| sky_ | alpaco, flash just doesn't load properly. | 09:50 |
| popey | xst: thats a shame | 09:50 |
| bod_ | !flashissues | 09:50 |
| ubotu | 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. | 09:50 |
| bod_ | what happened to the forum link? | 09:50 |
| sky_ | but install flash from? synaptic or add/remove? | 09:50 |
| sky_ | or from firefox, bod_ ? | 09:50 |
| bod_ | sky_no dont do that | 09:50 |
| bod_ | sky_dont do either of them | 09:50 |
| sky_ | don't do what? | 09:50 |
| jason | well that flash bug would affect installation... flash would never work, it wouldn't work and then stop working | 09:50 |
| popey | sky_: enable the -proposed repository | 09:50 |
| sky_ | popey, I have all repos enabled. | 09:50 |
| bod_ | popey, is it in there | 09:50 |
| shadukan | i installed the latest flash from adobe using a tar ball and it works fine | 09:51 |
| popey | yes bod_ | 09:51 |
| shadukan | :D | 09:51 |
| shadukan | no need for gnash | 09:51 |
| sky_ | so heres what I plan to do | 09:51 |
| sky_ | uninstall via synaptic | 09:51 |
| sky_ | reinstall from synaptic? | 09:51 |
| bod_ | popey, is the proposed repo in sources.list as standard? | 09:51 |
| coyctecm | i have been developing application with gtk# and mono. my app uses libgtkembedmoz | 09:51 |
| bod_ | sky_bad plan | 09:51 |
| popey | bod_: not enabled by default | 09:51 |
| coyctecm | no problems here | 09:51 |
| coyctecm | BUT | 09:51 |
| bod_ | popey, but in tthere? | 09:51 |
| popey | bod_: how many times do you want me to say "yes"? | 09:52 |
| sky_ | bod_, tell me a good plan? | 09:52 |
| bod_ | sky_, just uninstall il get you the link of the fix | 09:52 |
| coyctecm | when I try to run the program it gets sigsegv | 09:52 |
| jason | sky_, you cannot install flash from the repo's because of the bug, th einstallation will fail | 09:52 |
| bod_ | popey, are you sure? | 09:52 |
| sky_ | jason, ironically its not the installation that fails | 09:52 |
| coyctecm | because of libgtkembedmoz.so | 09:52 |
| popey | aaaargh | 09:52 |
| popey | bod_: yes! | 09:52 |
| popey | jeez | 09:52 |
| sky_ | but rather the flash itself... | 09:52 |
| sky_ | I can install flash without a hitch | 09:52 |
| bod_ | popey, will it be in mine? | 09:52 |
| popey | enable the -proposed repo | 09:52 |
| alpaco | somebody please check and see if IceCat is in the repos | 09:52 |
| sky_ | Its just that when I view a flash page, it sometimes screws up... | 09:52 |
| popey | alpaco: packages.ubuntu.com | 09:52 |
| coyctecm | if i add /usr/lib/firefox to /etc/ld.so.conf | 09:52 |
| alpaco | popey: thanks | 09:53 |
| sky_ | like, y'know a youtube video? suddenly everything flash turns to grey. | 09:53 |
| eternalist | how can i get libglade 2.4 on ubuntu | 09:53 |
| sky_ | bod_, link to fix, please? | 09:53 |
| eternalist | apt only offers libglade 2.0 | 09:53 |
| popey | sky_: just enable the proposed repo and install flash | 09:53 |
| bod_ | sky_its the g4 bit paragraph in blue writing you want, ok? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 | 09:53 |

| Hadeshorn | can anyone explain to me why that in the live cd, all my partitions are showing up.. however when i use gparted, it states that the whole drive is unallocated??? | 09:54 |
| alpaco | bod_: uninstall flash and install gnash from synaptic, it might fix your problem | 09:54 |
| Hadeshorn | is there some disk tool i can use where it looks at the drive and fixes this issue?? | 09:54 |
| coyctecm | it gets sigsegv, but if I just type export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/firefox; export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox; mono app.exe | 09:54 |
| coyctecm | everything works | 09:54 |
| meshugga | hey chaps | 09:54 |

| alpaco | bod_: gnash is gnu flash player, and i hear it renders youtube .flv files flawlessly | 09:55 |
| coyctecm | why this app crashes when /usr/lib/firefox is added to /etc/ld.so.conf | 09:55 |

| Peanut | I have a MacBookPro with MacOSX and Ubuntu on it. I'd like to expand the Ubuntu partition a bit. So my plan is to use the MacOSX 'resizeVolume' to decrease the apple partition by 5GB - but the next question is, how do I then add this 5GB to the Linux side? | 10:09 |
| nemilar | haha Frogzoo you are leet | 10:09 |
| changingnicknigs | alpaco lol how come police dos arrest you? | 10:09 |

| alpaco | changingnicknigs: how come :)? | 10:10 |
| sky_ | woot it sorta works now! | 10:10 |
| popey | alpaco, changingnicknigs take this elsewhere! | 10:10 |
| sky_ | yay | 10:10 |
| nemilar | Peanut: you can use the ubuntu liveCD, or a Gparted livecd, to expand your linux partitions. The unallocated space and the partition you want to add it to have to be right next to each other, though | 10:10 |
| bod_ | !yay | sky_ | 10:10 |
| ubotu | sky_: Glad you made it! :-) | 10:10 |
| sky_ | thanks popey, bod_, alpaco | 10:10 |
| bod_ | ;) | 10:10 |
| sky_ | hopefully this doesn't screw up again though | 10:10 |
| bod_ | lol,.,.yr | 10:10 |
| sky_ | its funny.... the last time flash was working fine, except for youtube | 10:10 |
| bod_ | ouch | 10:11 |
| Peanut | nemilar: Ah, using the original boot CD, I hadn't thought of that, thanks. Does that even work if the additional space for Linux will be at the start, not the end of the partition that is being grown? | 10:11 |
| Guest17098 | this room is about computer science ??? | 10:11 |
| popey | Peanut: you can move the linux part "down" the disk | 10:11 |
| dgjones | !ubuntu | Guest17098 | 10:11 |
| ubotu | Guest17098: 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 | 10:11 |
| Peanut | popey: without losing my current installation? | 10:11 |
| popey | Peanut: yup :) | 10:11 |
| Peanut | Wow :-) | 10:11 |
| nemilar | Peanut: you can use the bootCD, as long as it's a liveCD. Gparted comes with it, it's somewhere in the system menu under "disk partitioner" or something of that sort. The free space can be on either side of the partition, as long as it's next to it. | 10:11 |
| popey | Peanut: backup first though :) | 10:11 |
| nemilar | Peanut: ^^^ what popey just said ;) | 10:11 |
| Peanut | I have a backup of the MacOS size (Time Machine), have to see how I'm going to backup the Linux side before actually doing this. | 10:12 |
| gmina | yo | 10:12 |
| Peanut | But that shouldn't be too hard, thanks. | 10:12 |
| nemilar | Peanut: if you like time machine, you might consider TimeVault on Linux: www.techthrob.com/tech/timevault.php | 10:12 |
| bod_ | Peanut, you have a time machine? | 10:12 |
| gmina | pl?? | 10:13 |

| HEP | How do I start an X program from a terminal? | 10:13 |
| led | later I write unzip *.zip , and cp -r Black_harmony /usr/local/share/fluxbox/styles | 10:13 |
| Peanut | nemilar: well.. like - there's a few problems with it if you have a laptop: first, it won't use, e.g. the free space on your local disk to store changes when not connected to your backup media. And also, it doesn't work well with FileVault (encrypted filesystem, also nice on a laptop). | 10:14 |
| nemilar | HEP: just run the command, it'll start right up | 10:14 |
| HEP | no. it says can't open X server | 10:14 |
| popey | HEP: start the program as the same user that started X | 10:14 |
| led | the style of colours is change, but the buttons of window no :( | 10:14 |
| Peanut | I hope we'll get proper ZFS on MacOSX soon, that should make TimeMachine work much better. | 10:14 |
| Makuseru | hi, whenever i try to start VisualBoyAdvance-gtk it says "bash: visualboyadvance-gtk: command not found" but i know i have it installed because when i try to install it again i get visualboyadvance-gtk is already the newest version." what could stop this from opening? | 10:14 |
| popey | Makuseru: dpkg -L visualboyadvance-gtk | 10:15 |
| nemilar | Peanut: heh, those are some good points. You'd have to manually switch your backup directories for TimeVault, too.. but it should work fine with any filesystem linux can read | 10:15 |
| popey | Makuseru: that will tell you the names of files in that package, then look for the name of the file in the /usr/bin folder | 10:15 |

| bod_ | nemilar, what cant i do because of that? | 10:28 |

| fragged | neeto, look into storing the keys, theres a way that ssh root@box will send an authentication key (NOT a password) which means only your computer can login with that key | 10:32 |
| rama_8086 | popey , the icon images | 10:32 |
| Frogzoo | SleepingSloth: remove the " delimiters, and either put it in ~/.bash_aliases or just enter at a command prompt, then run 'iostat' | 10:32 |
| nemilar | neeto: I'm...pretty.... sure you can't do that. | 10:32 |
| popey | rama_8086: /usr/share/pixmaps usually | 10:32 |
| nemilar | neeto: if you just want to make ssh'ing to somewhere seamless, you can setup a key pair, and it won't ask you for a password when you login | 10:32 |

| popey | I do a lot of video encoding and all my machines are 64-bit capable, but i run 32-bit ubuntu on them | 10:51 |

| pengo | popey: heh fair enough | 10:51 |

| popey | sss: did you say you have tried to upgrade to edgy but you were concerned it had the wrong update-manager? | 11:23 |
| sss | popey: thats right :) | 11:23 |
| popey | sss: and you are up to date with your dapper updates? | 11:24 |
| SleepingSloth | esox- ideas... make sure it's not hardware - test it on another machine if possible. also, is it usb or ps/2? | 11:24 |
| sss | popey: I have two updates left for postgres | 11:24 |
| sss | and it refuses to upgrade due to some inconsistent state | 11:24 |
| sss | is it coz of these missing upgrades that I have a wrong update-manager? | 11:24 |
| SleepingSloth | right chaps, what media player do you use for music? | 11:25 |
| popey | sss: can you pastebin the result of "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ? | 11:25 |

| popey | oh hang on, no dont | 11:25 |
| shishirm1 | but its not running can any1 help | 11:25 |
| SleepingSloth | i've tried several, and they all have shortcomings, or foibles | 11:25 |

| fifo_ | What is the "alternate desktop cd/iso" ? | 11:26 |
| popey | sss what does lsb-release -a say you are running? | 11:26 |
| sss | popey: Edgy | 11:27 |
| popey | sss: your sources.list says dapper | 11:27 |
| sss | popey: why is that? During upgradation wont the sources.list be modified ..? | 11:27 |
| popey | should be sss | 11:27 |
| popey | sss: i would edit sources.list and fudge all "dapper" to "edgy" then apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:28 |
| popey | sounds like the machine is in a funny state | 11:28 |

| AdvoWork | Slart manually enter the password though? | 11:39 |
| AdvoWork | or just in that line as above? | 11:39 |
| Slart | AdvoWork: you'll have to enter it manuallt every time you run the script | 11:39 |
| AdvoWork | how come though? | 11:39 |
| Slart | AdvoWork: I read somewhere about a way to automate it.. something like saving your password in a file and restricting access to that file to your script only.. check the man page for sudo | 11:40 |
| AdvoWork | Slart ahh, now you've said it, I think ive seen that | 11:40 |

| forg | Would ubuntu autorecognise a new SATA HD. I'm using pci controller card (tried two just in case one was faulty), but neither gparted in ubuntu-installed nor the ubuntu install dvd recognise it. Do I need to type something to activated it? Thanks in advance. | 11:48 |
| forg | (the pci card is listed in lspci) | 11:49 |
| dgjones | Administrator, its all relative, asking in here, the answer is most likely to be yes, if you ask in #debian, they'll say debian is better | 11:49 |

| AdvoWork | Slart dont suppose you know where you saw that document for automating it? i cant for the life of me find it lol | 11:52 |
| SleepingSloth | Administrator, there are (shock horror) uses for which windoze is superior to ubuntu.... since ubuntu is a debian derivative, they're close enough that it's a matter of personal preference most of the time. i tried debian between 32 and 64 bit editions of ubuntu, and i came back to ubuntu for numerous (small) reasons. | 11:52 |
| Slart | AdvoWork: I'm pretty sure it was in the man page for sudo.. I think there is a switch that makes sudo read the password from a file | 11:53 |

| AdvoWork | Slart which is where my problem lies. the server never reboots. Its the client machine(windows) thats rebootded daily, thats loosing the share, any ideas? | 12:01 |
| Slart | pluffsy: grep -e '\(foo\|bar\)$' filetosearch or without the weirdness.. grep -e '(foo|bar)$' filetosearch.. but you have to escape ()| | 12:01 |
| AdvoWork | i could perhaps do a cron job to run that every single day at say 2am ? | 12:02 |
| Slart | AdvoWork: you put that in the client machine.. not the server | 12:02 |
| AdvoWork | but how can i if its windows? | 12:02 |

| AdvoWork | Slart, SleepingSloth well the problem: i need to share a folder on a windows machine with one on my linux server. so im mounting a share, which works fine, until the windows pc reboots, then it looses the share. | 12:27 |
| ce_moedz | hy | 12:27 |
| Leechzilla | Well no, Nermal, but I read a review of the router I'm about to buy and the performance is pretty good they say | 12:27 |
| Nermal | ah | 12:27 |
| geer1 | thnx. i'm running gutsy and the default (restricted) driver is 100.14.19, however 169.09 has come out. will ubuntu upgrade 'automatically' to this new driver soon, or do we need to go the route with envy and such. | 12:28 |
| Bodsda | SleepingSloth, im off school, ill,.,. so im bored,.,.lol,.,. just tryin to find someone funny to talk to,.,. is there a joke channel? apart from weebl and bob | 12:28 |
| Nermal | I suppose it depends on the card you use to connect to the router as opposed to the router itself | 12:28 |
| frame10_ | 44 | 12:28 |
| Slart | AdvoWork: ahh.. now I get it.. I thought it was the other way around.. I would go for a cronjob then.. check if the drive is still mounted.. if it isn't, run that script | 12:28 |
| frame10_ | hgy | 12:28 |
| SleepingSloth | AdvoWork, ah, i see. that does muddy the client/server relationship a bit - is there any reason the share cant be on the server? | 12:28 |
| ce_moedz | fujfipo | 12:28 |
| Bodsda | geer1, its likely ubuntu will upgrade but the driver will probably have to be tedted first,. so will be a short wait i'd think | 12:28 |
| Nermal | Junky, you probably have to start the mixer and select which output you want to use | 12:29 |
| Leechzilla | Nermal, but is there anything to be installed to support the N standard? | 12:29 |
| SleepingSloth | Bodsda, pass, i'm afraid ;) | 12:29 |
| Leechzilla | My card is a wireless-n type | 12:29 |
| Nermal | Leechzilla, it would depend on the card / wifi driver I think | 12:29 |
| Junky | Nermal: how ? | 12:29 |
| Leechzilla | Okay | 12:29 |
| compwiz18 | Bodsda, do they update drivers? I was under the impression that once it was released, it was set until the next version? | 12:29 |
| Bodsda | SleepingSloth, np,.,. this plac can be pretty funny at times,.,. ;~) | 12:29 |
| avis | Leechzilla, you should google your card to see if wireless is supported under the your ubuntu distro. | 12:30 |
| === no0tic_ is now known as no0tic | ||
| geer1 | aha. ok. It's just that i tried to find some kind of roadmap on this, but couldn't find any info regarding this. So, what you're saying compwiz18, is that I would ahve to wait for 8.04 to get the latest drivers and if I want them earlier I do it myself? sounds fair. thnx both! | 12:30 |
| Bodsda | compwiz18, i meant, if Vvidia release a new driver, then we'd probably get it in the restricted but it'd have to be tested first,.,.im not informe at all on this, just gueesin | 12:30 |
| Bodsda | compwiz18, Vvidia=Nvidia | 12:31 |
| compwiz18 | Bodsda, I'm thinking that since it is a package, and since they have feature freeze before release, then it's set? | 12:31 |
| nemilar | the problem with the restricted drivers is they sometimes break on new/different kernel versions | 12:31 |
| nemilar | (among other things) | 12:31 |
| AdvoWork | SleepingSloth yeah, it has to be on that pc(windows) because theres a certain barcode printer connected to it | 12:31 |
| compwiz18 | all I know is that my ati drivers are still from 8.37, which is about 4 versions ago | 12:31 |
| AdvoWork | and you cant share the printer | 12:31 |
| barduck_ | how can I can the full infomration about my hard disks from the command line (names, size, raid etc) | 12:32 |
| === barduck_ is now known as barduck | ||
| Bodsda | compwiz18, ATI have loadsa probs with 7.10 dont they? | 12:32 |
| cew_imoet | jammaah | 12:33 |
| geer1 | would be nice though if there was some page on ubuntu explaining there exact policy on this. Maybe it already exists, but haven't found it :-) | 12:33 |
| mattycoze | hey i'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 7.10 i seem to be getting a IO error halfway though the initialising of the installation process... do i have to disable acpi? | 12:33 |
| Junky | Nermal: how can i do that | 12:33 |
| L3ttuc3 | what is emerald? and is it compatible with compiz fusion in gutsy? | 12:33 |
| SleepingSloth | AdvoWork, what, and the printer cant see a network share? | 12:33 |
| Bodsda | geer1, search ubuntu docs for drivers | 12:33 |
| Nermal | Junky, open the mixer app (usually by double clicking on the speaker icon in panel) and fiddle with it :| | 12:33 |
| jason | barduck_, sudo fdisk -l | 12:33 |
| compwiz18 | Bodsda, I think the restricted ones work fine, but I've installed the latest ones, and yes, they have their problems but I'm not sure how many of them are Ubuntu related | 12:33 |
| Bodsda | L3ttuc3, emerald is a theme manager and yes its fine to use it with compiz | 12:34 |
| AdvoWork | SleepingSloth theres just no way to share the printer etc, so there has to be a shared folder on this client machine, theres other stuff afterwards that happens too, that depends on the share :S | 12:34 |
| Nermal | make sure things are enabled in Edit -> Preferences in the mixer | 12:34 |
| mattycoze | hey i'm having a problem installing Ubuntu 7.10 i seem to be getting a IO error halfway though the initialising of the installation process... do i have to disable acpi? | 12:34 |
| Nermal | and check under the "Switches" tab | 12:34 |
| barduck | jason: thanks but that just gives me the logic partition | 12:34 |
| Nermal | mattycoze, you could try booting the install with pci=noacpi or noapic | 12:34 |
| Bodsda | compwiz18, the main probs i see are people wth ati cards, so i just assumed they were not very well supported,.,. im using Nvidia the king of graphics,.,.mwahahahaha | 12:34 |
| L3ttuc3 | Bodsda what does it exactly change? docs were a bit hazy. | 12:34 |
| barduck | jason: I need the full sizes and names fo the physical hard disks | 12:34 |
| Nermal | note: acpi != apic | 12:34 |
| sky_ | why does flash keep breaking T.T | 12:35 |
| mattycoze | pci=noacpi nice thanx Nermal | 12:35 |
| Nermal | more info would be useful though :) | 12:35 |
| Bodsda | L3ttuc3, from what mine did,. i thiink its just the colours on your window bars,.., i think, i may be rong,.,. i dont use it ,.. its pointless,. everything it does ca be done elsewhere, and ore specificallly | 12:35 |
| compwiz18 | Bodsda, I find they work ok once you get the drivers installed, and they aren't that hard to install, so... but I'm not sure how well the ones in the restricted manager work | 12:35 |
| Bodsda | sky_, s ur flash down again? | 12:36 |
| L3ttuc3 | Bodsda ah i see. ok thanks. | 12:36 |
| Bodsda | np | 12:36 |
| SleepingSloth | AdvoWork, if that is the case, then i can't think of anything more sensible that running a cronned script to check and remount as Slart suggests. you could run it a lot more frequently than one a day - it's not going to be a performance issue | 12:36 |
| sky_ | bobsda: yeah... | 12:36 |
| fragged[away] | L3ttuc3, it is part of compiz-fusion but not compiz | 12:36 |
| === elliott is now known as _SGrocks_ | ||
| Bodsda | compwiz18, oh well,.,. | 12:36 |
| rich__ | guys how do i browse available printer shares on a network? | 12:36 |
| sky_ | I'm thinking of uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it just to see if it can work again... | 12:36 |
| sky_ | but I'm kinda scared. | 12:36 |
| compwiz18 | yay! I broke my mouse in X. | 12:36 |
| mattycoze | Nermal, well i remember last time i installed Ubuntu on this laptop i had to run that command | 12:37 |
| usr13_ | exit | 12:37 |
| sky_ | Don't want to ruin things, any more than it already is ruined | 12:37 |
| Bodsda | sky_, just do sudo apt-get reinstall firefox | 12:37 |
| mattycoze | then i switched to SUSe because of a HAL issue | 12:37 |
| AdvoWork | SleepingSloth ok then cool, one query though, in the cron job, when i do: sudo /etc/init.d/samba stop then start, i take it, it will just wait for each task to execute before remounting? | 12:37 |
| L3ttuc3 | fragged[away] yeah didnt find very specific docs of how it would integrate with gutsy. | 12:37 |
| mattycoze | ... which was kinda weird... | 12:37 |
| rich__ | im getting this error when doing smbtree -l cli_rpc_pipe_open: cli_nt_create failed on pipe \srvsvc to machine XP1. Error was NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED | 12:37 |
| mattycoze | other than that it was running a whole lot better than anything else i've tried on linux | 12:37 |
| mattycoze | and i desperately need printing to work :p | 12:37 |
| L3ttuc3 | can i post the url to a picture i found on the net, about an applet im trying to find please? | 12:37 |
| fragged[away] | L3ttuc3, it works fine, if ur graphics card is decent enough and has acceleration, quite frankly I still find it a bit buggy and not really to my taste, do a google on beryl to look at some screenshots | 12:37 |
| mattycoze | (if you've been following my discussion on SUSE, i've had no such luck getting the cups daemon to work Nermal) | 12:38 |
| Bodsda | L3ttuc3, go for it | 12:38 |
| SleepingSloth | /etc/init.d/samba restart? | 12:38 |
| L3ttuc3 | fragged[away] ok will try that. | 12:38 |
| SleepingSloth | AdvoWork, /etc/init.d/samba restart? | 12:38 |
| sixpence | Heya, I connected a device to my Computer, a Palm, how do I locate what port it is on in /dev/ (it's connected via USB) | 12:38 |
| sky_ | bobsda: E: Invalid operation reinstall | 12:38 |
| fragged[away] | sixpence, use 'dmesg | tail' | 12:38 |
| nemilar | sixpence: should say in the 'dmesg' command | 12:38 |
| AdvoWork | SleepingSloth oh yeah lol! | 12:38 |
| _SGrocks_ | how can i repartition my hard drive cause how it was done automatically when i set up ubuntu is too small... and there is extra space i want to use | 12:38 |
| L3ttuc3 | what is the little applet that seems to be showing wireless network signal strength in here? http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2007/08/smallish_Compiz-Icon.png | 12:38 |
| Bodsda | sky_, do it through synaptiic then | 12:39 |
| realityiswhere | L3ttuc3: nm-applet | 12:39 |
| AdvoWork | SleepingSloth so do i actually need to check if the mount is there? or just assume it isnt anwyay? | 12:39 |
| sky_ | reinstalled, same problem still | 12:39 |
| gebura | hi guy | 12:39 |
| L3ttuc3 | realityiswhere eh? my nm-applet is just two little computers, completely static. does not show anything else. | 12:39 |
| sixpence | fragged[away]: http://pastebin.ca/893753 | 12:39 |
| Bodsda | L3ttuc3, you mean the scaling blue bars? thats standard | 12:39 |

| gebura | mount and df don't show any / partition ! | 12:40 |
| SleepingSloth | AdvoWork, well, you dont *need* to check, no - but it would be more efficient to check first | 12:40 |
| Bodsda | sky_, if youve reinstalled firefox, you may have to einstall that flash package again | 12:40 |
| L3ttuc3 | realityiswhere yes i am, im connected to an atheros card but i had to use ndiswrapper. | 12:40 |
| sky_ | bobsda: okay lemme try | 12:40 |
| L3ttuc3 | although ubuntu recognises the device, the ath module does not work well with that particular chipset. | 12:40 |
| AdvoWork | SleepingSloth but how would you do that check within a cronjob? :S | 12:40 |
| Bodsda | sky_, bobsda,..,.lol,.,.i like it | 12:40 |
| L3ttuc3 | Bodsda i've only ever had the two little static monitors of network manager. | 12:41 |
| fragged[away] | sixpence, that means its identified that there is in fact a device there but not identified it as a phripheral, it is not the same as a flash drive so it wont get mounted, perhaps some research reguarding your palm and linux | 12:41 |
| sky_ | oh wait, its bodsda | 12:41 |
| realityiswhere | L3ttuc3: Maybe it's ndiswrappers fault, cause I've always had the wireless icon. | 12:41 |
| sky_ | no wonder autocomplete wasn't working! | 12:41 |
| sixpence | fragged[away]: :-| I see. | 12:41 |
| Bodsda | L3ttuc3, when im connected wifi i get thoude bars,..,. but im cabled atm so i cant help im afraid | 12:41 |
| Bodsda | sky_, yer,.,. dw,.,.;~~)) | 12:41 |
| L3ttuc3 | realityiswhere also, i've had to manually set up the network. at any rate, in the drop down menu listing available networks, i do get signal strength. | 12:41 |
| L3ttuc3 | strange. | 12:42 |
| fragged[away] | sixpence, its just an uncommon type of hardware, too uncommon to bother with basic configuration, somebody; somewhere will have had it working | 12:42 |
| sky_ | crap, still broken | 12:42 |
| SleepingSloth | AdvoWork, you would need to write a shell script to do it - and remount if necessary. i'm not the best person to ask, i haven't written bash scripts for years.. | 12:42 |
| sixpence | fragged[away]: Alright. | 12:42 |
| Bodsda | sky_, which version fo firefo r u using? | 12:42 |
| realityiswhere | L3ttuc3: Ah see, manually doing it would make it be the computers too. I've got mine on roaming and it shows the wireless icons. | 12:42 |

| L3ttuc3 | sky_? flash? i managed to make mine work by downloading a 73MB archive from adobe's developper site containing previous versions of the flash 9 player. one before 115 seems to work fine. that seems to be the file that the debconf file wants installed. | 12:43 |

| sky_ | yeah | 12:43 |

| compwiz18 | themos,, kubuntu has kde, ubuntu has gnome | 12:45 |
| Bodsda | themos, can have both/either ,.,. ubuntu is standard with gnome,. kubuntu has kde | 12:45 |
| avis | themos, you can sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop if you want or download and install kubuntu | 12:45 |

| L3ttuc3 | realityiswhere my wifi router has to have me physically press a button, when it's detecting connections... which adds to the tediousness. thanks for the heads up. | 12:46 |
| themos | ok thanks for clearing that up | 12:46 |
| nomasteryoda | L3ttuc3, just a suggestion... there is a new kid on the block for managing your wireless and it's called wicd ... but i'll let you google it ... its on sourceforge and works better for roaming (in my humble opinion)... but if you don't want to change the default network-manager, ignore this comment | 12:46 |
| fragged[away] | Bodsda, I presume thats sarcasm, but if not I'd recommend getting a new keyboard, they has the power to take out motherboards... In fact plugging a PS/2 in while computer is on can even do that, moreso on old computers, but i found out the hard/fun way - seeing as it wasnt my computer | 12:46 |
| sky_ | guys, should I use apt-get autoremove? | 12:47 |
| fragged[away] | Theres nothing better than iwtool eth1 list IMO :D | 12:47 |
| nomasteryoda | sky_, it will clean up from pkgs that are not needed | 12:47 |
| sky_ | theres no problems from using it, right? | 12:47 |
| nomasteryoda | sky_, right | 12:47 |

| nomasteryoda | fragged[away], you pulled the letters from under my fingers | 12:49 |
| fragged[away] | The basis of linux is pretty much universal though, so yes | 12:50 |

| L3ttuc3 | Bodsda that's what's scaring me. there is nothing there im seeing that allows me to go back :/ heh. | 12:52 |
| fragged[away] | L3ttuc3, I'm not really familiar with metacity, but under xubuntu I kill off compiz-fusion, then just start xfwm4 which is the window manager, otherwise a good restart of X wont hurt (afaik compiz is not added to default wm/de) | 12:52 |

| L3ttuc3 | Bodsda would purging emerald break my configurations do you think? | 12:54 |
| nomasteryoda | it is a custom installation of Wine... all to itself and does not change your base wine installation | 12:54 |
| fragged[away] | L3ttuc3, figure out what the binary for the gnome wm is, kill compiz-fusion and start it | 12:54 |
| nomasteryoda | gnome one would be metacity | 12:54 |
| Bodsda | L3ttuc3, it would break anything you've set using emerald itself,.,. but otherwise no,. and if it did , just reinstall it | 12:54 |

| AdvoWork | DoYouKnow so you mean I can just type sh whatever to make it? or ? sorry for lack of understanding | 13:00 |
| Arelis | Is there some sort of file manager for Ubuntu that has the tagging mechanism? I mean, not organised in folders, but in tags? | 13:00 |
| DoYouKnow | AdvoWork, yeah, but you can also make it +x (executable) and run it directly | 13:01 |
| compwiz18 | AdvoWork, you can run sh name-of-script or ./name-of-script if you're in the same directory as it | 13:01 |
| SleepingSloth | nemilar, have you ever managed to get a dual graphics card xserver? i have a pci nvidia graphics card, and i'm considering adding it to my exiting pcie card so i can add a third monitor. doable? | 13:01 |
| nemilar | AdvoWork: you can execute it by either "sh script.sh", or by making it executable (chmod +x script.sh) and then running it (./script.sh) | 13:01 |
| DoYouKnow | AdvoWork, it doesn't need to be +x if you run "sh script" | 13:01 |
| Bodsda | AdvoWork, you can un a script by typing just its name,. it doesnt have to have a path aslong as its saved in a path listed in $PATH | 13:01 |

| SleepingSloth | nemilar, yeah - what i would like to do, is have a dedicated 3d accelerated monitor which is not impeded by candy - so i dont have problems with games. i still have soft crashes sometimes when i maximise games- they just dont handle 2 monitors well, sometimes crashing, sometimes maximising to both, etc etc... and performance is hit by having to draw the other monitor on the same gfx card... | 13:04 |
| nemilar | Bodsda: haha, I didn't realize I was doing that... I just assumed people were typing a bunch of lines while I was typing, without looking at the screen | 13:04 |

| ubotu | jonaskoelker: 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. :-) | 13:45 |
| ikonia | aniket: is there any unallocated space ? | 13:45 |
| L3ttuc3 | ikonia it didnt create the user because a group already existed with that name for some reason... i think it also wanted to create a new group of that name. | 13:45 |
| jonaskoelker | Pici: yeah yeah, if I do then people don't answer | 13:45 |
| WiseCyan | but my harddisk doesnt show up | 13:45 |
| lilg111111 | !hda | 13:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hda - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 13:45 |
| ikonia | L3ttuc3: thats one of ubuntu's things new users get their own group | 13:45 |
| WiseCyan | so i cannot convert it from ntfs to ext3 | 13:45 |
| aniket | ikonia: infact there isn't any | 13:45 |
| jonaskoelker | is anyone else seeing bad UDP checksums | 13:45 |
| noneo | abhi__: loop? have you loop in /etc/fstab? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | aniket: so it shows no disks ? | 13:46 |
| L3ttuc3 | ikonia yes... hence i think it didnt really want me to create a user for which a group had already been made (at install time, i surmise). | 13:46 |
| abhi__ | noneo: do i? is that BAD? is my system borked?!?!?! :( | 13:46 |
| ikonia | L3ttuc3 that seems reasonable | 13:46 |
| ali1234 | jonaskoelker: doubt most people would see them unless they went looking.. where are you seeing them? | 13:46 |
| sybariten | 'dpkg --get-selections' gives me quite a long alphabetical list, and 'apt-cache pkgnames' spits out around sixty megabytes of pure text... is there any way i can have apt tell me which packages has been installed by "me"? Or have the list in a time sorted or logged way? | 13:47 |
| L3ttuc3 | ikonia i only just noticed when i tried creating a completely different user. thanks anyway. :) | 13:47 |
| jonaskoelker | ali1234: wireshark | 13:47 |
| noneo | abhi__: as I know loop is useful if you mount ISO file. I don't know any other purpose of this mount option in everyday life :-) | 13:48 |

| ali1234 | nephlim: ok, i'm just not clear about what it means by "sparse" - eg if you make the encrypted sparse image 10mb, does it use 10mb of disk space, even when empty? | 14:01 |
| nephlim | ali1234, i think so | 14:01 |
| nephlim | ali1234, it should act like a virtual drive that you have to mount to access | 14:02 |

| rich__ | any ideas how i view all shared resources on a network from ubuntu? | 14:02 |
| Webu | docmur, adding an "-s" option performs ordering simulation, you might try that out. | 14:02 |
| nephlim | ali1234, and prompts for password to mount, a pass that's not the users pass for ownership, you know? it's "own" pass | 14:02 |
| Epicenter | What's the difference between Xubuntu-desktop and Ubuntu-desktop? | 14:02 |
| Webu | docmur, usually even doing an "apt-get" it'll ask before installing anything and you can see what'll be installed. | 14:03 |
| aniket1 | somebody help me install ubjntu | 14:03 |
| jason | docmur, the format of that would be sudo apt-get -s install package, and it will list what operations would be performed | 14:03 |
| ali1234 | nephlim: what you need is just an encrypted disk image, if you google without the word "sparse" you should find a lot of howtos for linux... | 14:03 |

| void^ | hedenberg: basically, how often the cpu switched around between different processes (which is rather expensive) | 14:13 |
| Slart | Chamwork-: I don't know of anything that does all of that.. but you can probably find a pdf to tiff converter.. imagemagick perhaps.. or ghostscript | 14:13 |
| hedenberg | Thanks. Doing some heavy load processes on the machine and saw it increase alooot. | 14:14 |
| Chamwork- | Slart, yeah, I tried imagemagik but it makes the tiff look pretty crappy | 14:14 |
| pihhan_ | Chamwork-: you can make virtual printer in postscript and use some program to convert postscript file for bitmap | 14:14 |
| aniac | what may be wrong with that LVM2_member...? | 14:14 |
| Chamwork- | i guess i could print to pdf and then have it kick off a script to convert to tiff? But I wouldn't even know how to set that up, are there any docs for that I could read up? | 14:15 |
| pihhan_ | Chamwork-: but i dont expect many users needs this, so end user easy solution would not be easy to find | 14:15 |

| abhi_ | hi i'm facing a weird issue with my thumb drive it's being listed on my lsusb but i can't see it on my mount what should i do? | 14:42 |
| Nermal | abhi_, paste your dmesg output to pastbin ? | 14:43 |
| pihhan_ | abhi_: check dmesg|tail, if that writes about sda or such disk | 14:43 |
| Photo1 | A quick question - I'm installing Ubuntu over my age old SUSE 10.0 - will it replace GRUB with a boot menu that recognizes the other OSes on my PC? | 14:43 |

| zeisss | Hi, can anyone help me with netatalk and the uam_dhx.so? It seems to be broken. Ubuntu server 6.06 | 14:45 |
| natbet | How do you make ubuntu play a mp3 file when you put your mouse over it? | 14:45 |
| Photo1 | thx Jack_Sparrow! And will the installer allow me to reformat the current Linux partition with FAT32 EXT3 so XP can see it? | 14:45 |
| pihhan_ | but i expect it should work out of the box in ubuntu | 14:46 |
| titusg | natbet: why on earth would you want that? | 14:46 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: ok but its called sdb not sdb1 | 14:46 |
| Tw | Photol: yes it will | 14:46 |
| Photo1 | Or do you recommend some other filesystem? | 14:46 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: and when i do a mount it asks me to specify a file system | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: I dont understand that question.. xp cant read ext3 by default without ext2ifs | 14:47 |
| natbet | titusg: working with several mp3s that aren't properly named, it works fine with wave files, just not mp3s | 14:47 |
| === Tw is now known as Twim4 | ||
| Photo1 | Thx Jack_Sparrow and Tw :) So what do you recommend? | 14:47 |
| pihhan_ | abhi_: sdb is disk device, every disk have partitions, and flash usually has only one. so sdb1 is first partition on flash disk | 14:47 |
| Photo1 | There are XP boxes on this network, so I need them to see it | 14:48 |
| abhi_ | pihhan: this is what i get when i do mount for sdb1 | 14:48 |
| pihhan_ | abhi_: check sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb, there should be one | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: The installer will let you format partitions to whatever you want.. but you need to rephrase your question about what all you want to do. brb | 14:48 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: this is what i get for mount sdb1 | 14:48 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist | 14:48 |
| aniac | guys any idea about lvm? | 14:48 |
| zeisss | Hi, can anyone help me with netatalk and the uam_dhx.so? It seems to be broken. Ubuntu server 6.06 | 14:49 |

| ubotu | aniac: 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? | 14:49 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: well i did an fdisk and it doesn't list sdb1 | 14:49 |
| Yonie | hey guys, does anyone know where i can get visual studio for linux? | 14:49 |
| titusg | natbet: I see. Still sounds weird to me, I'd rather not hear them unless I deliberately play them | 14:49 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: however the device is recognized | 14:49 |
| Photo1 | Jack_Sparrow: Current issue: Can only transfer files from Linux to XP, XP doesn't see it. Do I need to do something special in the Ubuntu installer for XP to see it? | 14:49 |
| aniac | well I installed lvm2 and am trying to mount a disk but can't | 14:50 |
| zeisss | Yonie: I dont think VS is available for linux. | 14:50 |
| pihhan_ | abhi_: so, have you ever used that disk in windows? | 14:50 |
| Twim4 | Photol: i think samba will help you | 14:50 |
| Photo1 | I'm asking because 2 years ago when I last installed Linux, NTFS was not an option... could I format it to NTFS? | 14:50 |
| abhi_ | pihhan_: i put it on a windows machine and the disk appears but it doesn't allow me to format it :( | 14:50 |
| titusg | I've never known a channel with so many etiquette messages being given out. Bet I get one now :-) | 14:50 |
| aniac | lvdisplay gets me a group VolGroup00 wich has two logical volumes: LogVol00 and LogVol01 | 14:50 |
| Wiredtape | hey, I was wondering why there are no server apps in the add/remove programs? (like lamp installs (other than tasksel), or ircd's and so on..) | 14:50 |
| Photo1 | Or maybe FAT32 ext2? | 14:51 |
| pihhan_ | Photo1: are these XP on same computer as your ubuntu, or on different computer in network? | 14:51 |
| zeisss | wiredtape: use Aptitude | 14:51 |
| Zyklon-B | Wiredtape, you'll find then in synaptic | 14:51 |
| adac2 | how can i close all ports with iptables? | 14:51 |
| Zyklon-B | *them | 14:51 |
| Saulgood | i've reinstalled 6.06lts server, eth0 got a dhcp address fine, i've changed to static and restarted the network but then get ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready and it resolves back the dynamic address - why does this occur - never happened before? | 14:51 |
| aniac | any idea on what can I do in order to mount LogVol01? | 14:51 |
| joey[] | how do I switch between workplaces with a key? | 14:51 |
| ali1234 | Photo1: you can get an ext3 driver for XP | 14:52 |
| Photo1 | pihhan_: both, but I could survive if only this box can see its own partitions in XP | 14:52 |
| Wiredtape | zeiss, zyklon-b, will take a look, thx | 14:52 |
| Pici | joey[]: ctrl+alt+leftarrow or rightarrow | 14:52 |
| jrib | joey[]: ctrl-alt-<arrow key> or modify it in system -> preferences -> keyboard shortcuts | 14:52 |
| joey[] | Pici: thx | 14:52 |
| pihhan_ | Photo1: for sharing over network, you need Samba server, it will offer any folder you configure from your linux, does not matter if it is fat32, ext3 or xfs | 14:53 |
| zombie_monkey | Sorry, silly question, but I found this: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html and in the end there is a guide to modifying the appearanche of the framebuffer cursor... any idea how I can make it permanent? and for apps that I launch, not just bash? | 14:53 |
| rich__ | when i access an smb share, where is that connection held? | 14:53 |
| rich__ | so that i can manually kill it | 14:53 |
| pihhan_ | Photo1: to see data from XP, you need shared data partition, or install ext3 driver into XP box | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ext2ifs | 14:53 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2ifs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 14:53 |
| Photo1 | I guess I'm just being to cautious... will the default Ubuntu install filesystem make it visible in XP without XP drivers? | 14:53 |
| ali1234 | Photo1: no | 14:54 |
| pihhan_ | no, linux in fat32 might be possible, but is extremely inefficient | 14:54 |
| _elemental | Photol, http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 14:54 |

| _elemental | sure, I've been using that driver for a few years, works flawlessly | 14:55 |
| ali1234 | Photo1: ext3 is the only real choice | 14:55 |
| Photo1 | FAT32 ext3? | 14:55 |

| miltiadis21 | Guys do you know any good book site to help you for application develop i mean what do you have to do before you do the contract | 14:55 |

| zeisss | or you follow adac2 advice ;) | 14:57 |
| adac2 | Yonie: its a bit tricky but also a bit unstable ;) | 14:57 |

| Photo1 | Hmm "FAT32 is extremely inefficient"+"use ext3". Confused. :) Isn't ext3=FAT32 ext3? | 14:58 |
| ali1234 | Photo1: no not at all, they are totally different | 14:58 |

| RisingClouds | Hi all :D | 16:18 |

| Akash | pls answer | 16:26 |
| Pici | Akash: We are not Shipit, you probably should seek them out for support. | 16:26 |
| ali1234 | j: er, yeah, but you still get two desktops | 16:26 |
| noodlesgc | Akash, i dont know why that would happen, why not just download? | 16:26 |
| r_a_f | Akash: what you need? | 16:26 |
| Akash | i hav a 64kbps connection | 16:26 |
| j | ali1234: not really. I already got that working ... that's an extension of your existing desktop | 16:26 |
| Seth^^ | DRebellion, oh im sorry, i thought OPEN OFFICE HAS EXCEL TOO AND IM RUNNING UBUNTU LINUX ! | 16:26 |
| j | ali1234: totally different concept :) | 16:26 |
| Akash | i wanted 2 try out the 3D desktop | 16:26 |
| Pici | !caps | Seth^^ | 16:26 |
| ubotu | Seth^^: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 16:27 |
| ali1234 | j: the difference is that with xinerama you get two X screens, and with twinview you get one X screen stretched. for the most part there is no difference, but compiz wont work with xinerama, and fullscreen apps (eg) SDL dont play well with twinview | 16:27 |
| Seth^^ | :) | 16:27 |
| Seth^^ | why in the world would i join this channel if i was on windows ?... | 16:27 |
| r_a_f | Akash: you mran compiz? | 16:27 |
| Pici | Seth^^: OO.org has a spreadsheet program, but its not Excel. | 16:27 |
| amenado | Seth^^-> it is called xcalc not excel | 16:27 |
| j | ali1234: I actually need two completely separate full desktop environments ... | 16:27 |
| Akash | whats compiz | 16:27 |
| Pici | !openoffice | Seth^^ | 16:27 |
| ubotu | Seth^^: a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components. To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org | 16:27 |
| DRebellion | !compiz | Akash | 16:27 |
| ubotu | Akash: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion | 16:27 |
| ali1234 | j: so what do you want then? two totally separate X sessions one on each screen? | 16:27 |
| Seth^^ | fine, spreadsheet | 16:27 |
| Seth^^ | same deal anyway | 16:27 |
| j | ali1234: yep that's it :) | 16:28 |
| Seth^^ | spreadsheet functions, anyone knows them ? | 16:28 |
| ali1234 | j: ok, well, i've never tried to do that | 16:28 |
| j | ali1234: oh :( | 16:28 |
| noodlesgc | akash, just look what compiz can do http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=compiz&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi | 16:28 |
| Pici | Seth^^: You'll probably get a faster answer asking in #users.openoffice.org | 16:28 |
| ali1234 | j: im not certain it is possible with a single card | 16:28 |
| DRebellion | Seth^^: it is not the same deal. people will flame or ignore you if you say that in a linux channel. | 16:28 |
| amenado | Seth^^-> maybe state the problem | 16:28 |
| j | ali1234: it's definitely possible .. i've read it being done on the net ... | 16:28 |
| switch_ | thanks to whoever helped me. I used the cd to add myself back to the admin group. | 16:28 |
| Seth^^ | ok...... amenado , i have in a cell a date (06/02/2008) and i want other cells to increment the day | 16:29 |
| Grab | hi | 16:29 |
| Seth^^ | based on the first cell that has the date | 16:29 |
| amenado | switch_-> i suggested you use liveCd...am glad it worked for you | 16:29 |
| Grab | im trying to set up irssi as a bnc for mirc: what should i do after /load proxy ? | 16:29 |
| Schiz0 | Grab: After you do "/load proxy", you should read the irssi documentation that explains exactly what to do. | 16:30 |
| Seth^^ | so 1st cell is the date (06/02/2008) second will be 07/02/2008 and so on | 16:30 |
| tll | Hello, is there a way to use the the current rt2x00 driver with gutsy? | 16:30 |
| Grab | Schiz0 i type /help proxy ? | 16:30 |
| seksmurf | what does the $ sign in front of command means? | 16:30 |
| j | ali1234: well... I guess I'll play around some more .... | 16:30 |
| Schiz0 | Grab: http://irssi.org/documentation/proxy | 16:30 |
| seksmurf | like $cp or $make? | 16:30 |
| j | ali1234: thanks for your help! | 16:30 |
| amenado | Seth^^-> look in the configs for auto calculate.. | 16:30 |
| Grab | Schiz0 thanks | 16:30 |
| Pici | seksmurf: It means to type that on your shell. | 16:30 |
| jrib | seksmurf: it's just a way of telling you it is a command for your shell | 16:30 |
| DRebellion | seksmurf: it is simply part of the shell | 16:31 |
| ali1234 | j: i know that there's nothing in nvidia-settings to let you do it, so it's a matter of hand crafting your xorg.conf. i suggest reading the README for nvidia-driver available on nvidia website, it is fairly complete and lists all the extra options of the driver... but you probably already did that, right? | 16:31 |
| seksmurf | oic.... | 16:31 |
| PriceChild | tll, sudo apt-get install module-assistant, then use it to install the appropriate module. | 16:31 |
| amenado | seksmurf-> it is called shell prompt | 16:31 |
| Seth^^ | amenado, and where might those be ? im a newbie to open office spreadsheet or excel for that matter | 16:31 |
| seksmurf | oic... thanks | 16:31 |
| j | ali1234: good idea. I've done it in the past but not lately. | 16:31 |
| amenado | Seth^^-> look under options or settings? maybe google for tutorials on xcalc | 16:31 |
| tll | PriceChild, tried, the current rt2x00 in gutsy is broken, the cvs needs a recent kernel - is there a backport? | 16:32 |
| Journeyman | is there a way to make it so users can mount devices? | 16:32 |
| PriceChild | tll, works for me perfectly. | 16:32 |
| Pici | !fuse > Journeyman (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 16:32 |
| PriceChild | tll, rt2500 and rt2570 | 16:33 |
| Pici | Journeyman: That may not be what you're looking for, but its a good place to start. | 16:33 |
| tll | PriceChild, your lucky, but I got a rt73 stick :) | 16:33 |
| amenado | Journeyman-> also you can add entries in sudoers to dedicate one function for them to mount | 16:33 |
| Seth^^ | amenado, i dont have time to research a solution, thats why i asked if anyone here knows shit about those functions, nevermind ill go to #open.office.org. Thanks anyway | 16:33 |
| Pici | !language | Seth^^ | 16:33 |
| ubotu | Seth^^: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 16:33 |
| PriceChild | tll, how is that rt2x00 ? | 16:33 |
| chung | noodlesgc: is there any other way to download urban terror? | 16:33 |
| Seth^^ | Pici oh come on.... | 16:33 |
| amenado | Seth^^-> we dont have time to assist people in such a hurry | 16:33 |
| Journeyman | amenado, I don't want to use sudo, I want the user to be able to do it | 16:33 |
| Seth^^ | understood amenado | 16:34 |
| Seth^^ | thanks, bye | 16:34 |
| chung | noodlesgc: can i use the terminal to download urban terror? | 16:34 |
| Journeyman | isn't there like suid or something | 16:34 |

| skold | hey does somebody know which version of php joomla needs to run? | 16:35 |
| tll | PriceChild, in gutsy the module is called rt73usb. Am I wrong? | 16:35 |
| MrObvious | ktwo: I'm using a Dell Vostro. :p | 16:35 |
| noodlesgc | chung well, not exactly, first you should get axel (sudo apt-get install axel) | 16:35 |
| PriceChild | tll, no idea. | 16:35 |
| Pici | skold: Have you tried #joomla? | 16:36 |
| PriceChild | tll, probably | 16:36 |
| Schiz0 | Grab: you should be able to detach irssi (if you're running it inside a screen session), and then connect to the computer irssi is running as on port 668 | 16:36 |
| Photo1 | How do I make a correct Administration/Graphics-Screen list entry, which files to modify? Then I could send them to someone to make a package? | 16:36 |
| Schiz0 | Grab: But I gotta run, try asking in #irssi | 16:36 |
| tll | tll, don't think so, reading https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22/+bug/134660 brought me here. | 16:36 |
| Grab | k Schiz0 thanks | 16:36 |
| noodlesgc | chung then open a terminal and just paste this line: axel http://www.iourt.com/urt41/UrbanTerror_41_FULL.zip | 16:36 |

| two_bits | i want to eject a usb jumpdrive, but when I right click on the device | 16:38 |
| two_bits | the only option I see is "unmount" | 16:38 |
| brobostigon | DRebellion: i use idle | 16:38 |
| noodlesgc | DRebellion, i use gedit for everything | 16:39 |
| Photo1 | I could just quick fix xorg.conf, but then I wouldn't be helping others ;) | 16:39 |
| two_bits | DRebellion: I also use idle | 16:39 |
| cst-student | join #mrmonday | 16:39 |
| tll | PriceChild, The "real" names for rt73usb are: rt2571W & rt2671 and they are in the r2x00 driver. | 16:39 |
| noodlesgc | DRebellion, use the tools plugin and you can make gedit an anything IDE | 16:39 |
| DRebellion | noodlesgc: if i wanted to do that i'd use vim ;) | 16:39 |
| two_bits | pffft | 16:39 |
| PriceChild | tll, ahh ok. Sorry but i've no experience with them | 16:40 |
| * DRebellion installs idle | 16:40 | |
| two_bits | anyway, is the eject option hidden in some other menu | 16:40 |
| noodlesgc | DRebellion, gedit is better than vim | 16:40 |
| brobostigon | two_bits: unmount is th right option to remove a flash drive | 16:40 |
| two_bits | yes | 16:40 |
| two_bits | but when i remove the flash drive after unmounting | 16:40 |
| DRebellion | noodlesgc: you're just asking for war... | 16:40 |
| two_bits | it says that i have removed it unsafely, and that I should have selected eject | 16:40 |

| SeicherlBoB | hi there! I got major problems with my ATI graphics card HD2400: I'm using it in my VDR for output to my tv over xineliboutput. the Xserver crashes after a couple of channelswitches with a segvault (module glesx.so). Does anybody know that issue of crashing X when playing video? | 16:41 |
| tll | PriceChild, no problem, I was hoping that there is a backport for the gutsy 2.6.22 kernel through the module-assistant. | 16:41 |
| noodlesgc | Wow flash just got fixed | 16:41 |
| DRebellion | two_bits: use the 'eject' command | 16:42 |

| NET||abuse | UbuntuNoobx1k, You will have to didle with the settings there for a bit, there's loads that could be set wrong | 16:48 |
| Photo1 | And not just edit xorg.conf so it works for me :) | 16:48 |
| chung | ok noodlesgc | 16:48 |

| the_alamo | does anyone know of a howto for setting up irc and sip in empathy? | 16:50 |
| mindframe- | why does firefox slow down so much with emerald enabled? | 16:50 |
| UbuntuNoobx1k | i think my sound card is realtek hdaudio | 16:50 |
| neverblue | mindframe-, maybe try swiftfox, sudo aptitude install swiftfox | 16:50 |
| DG19075 | UbuntuNoobx1k: sudo apt-get install alsa; run that in a terminal | 16:50 |
| Vadi | I'm not getting any sound at all on .mov files, only video.. what could be wrong? | 16:51 |
| Vadi | I already tried VLC and totem + medibuntu | 16:51 |
| mindframe- | neverblue, doesn't that not work for 64bit? | 16:51 |
| the_alamo | mindframe-, you could also try epiphany which is the gnome default browser | 16:51 |
| neverblue | mindframe-, no idea | 16:51 |
| neb_net | ali1234, thanks, (i thought I tried that earlier, but i must have mucked it up) | 16:51 |
| mindframe- | i need firefox plugins unfortunately | 16:51 |
| Photo1 | I'd need a link to a how-to create a new screen by making a file for Gnome... anyone? :) | 16:52 |
| noodlesgc | mindframe there is a firefox plugin called fasterfox | 16:52 |
| zhobbs | I'm trying to install xlibs-dev and it's saying "E: Package xlibs-dev has no installation candidate" | 16:52 |
| the_alamo | does anyone use empathy for irc? | 16:52 |
| DoYouKnow | hi, I changed my GDM background to something custom and now my desktop icons/desktop background don't load | 16:52 |
| DoYouKnow | I suppose I should look it up on google | 16:53 |
| woodwizzle | what tools can I use to create an xorg.conf file | 16:53 |
| UbuntuNoobx1k | ok i put it on the terminal said sumthing about no change | 16:53 |
| the_alamo | DoYouKnow, this might sound a bit overly simple but when my background doesn't load i usually just restart and it is fine. | 16:54 |
| DRebellion | !find xlibs-dev | zhobbs | 16:54 |
| DoYouKnow | ok | 16:54 |
| noodlesgc | woodwizzle, you can use System->Administration->Screens and graphics | 16:54 |
| ubotu | zhobbs: Package/file xlibs-dev does not exist in gutsy | 16:54 |
| Photo1 | woodwizzle: can't you just go to the /etc/X11 folder, copy xorg.conf, and double click the copy? :) | 16:54 |
| zhobbs | !find xlibs-dev | 16:54 |
| ubotu | Package/file xlibs-dev does not exist in gutsy | 16:55 |
| DRebellion | zhobbs: no matter how many times you do it, it will always give the same answer ;) | 16:55 |
| woodwizzle | noodlesgc: I have a problem with that tool. When I select the nv driver it goes right back to nvidia | 16:55 |
| Photo1 | btw noodlesgc: how do I create a new monitor file with correct modeline? To use in Screens and Graphics | 16:55 |
| Grab | i set up irssi on my shell to act like a bnc: now how do i connect to it from mirc? do i have to type: /firewall on ip.of.shell port OR what?? | 16:55 |

| woodwizzle | Photo1: Arn't there some CLI tools that automatically generate one? I have a very complicated setup and I want to see if one of those tools gives me a better template to start from | 16:56 |
| brobostigon | zhobbs: have a llook on packages.ubuntu.com, it may just be under a different name. | 16:56 |
| levander | Has anyone successfully used this tsclient thing? I hit "Connect" and the dialog box just disappears on me. | 16:56 |
| zhobbs | mneptok, thanks | 16:56 |
| DoYouKnow | it worked! | 16:56 |
| DoYouKnow | thanks | 16:56 |
| mneptok | zhobbs: cookie? | 16:57 |
| Photo1 | woodwizzle: dunno, I'm new. I just want to add a correct 1920x1200 resolution to an incorrect file :) | 16:57 |
| noodlesgc | Photo1 i dont use screens and graphics, it doesn't work for me. | 16:57 |

| julio__ | Hi there | 16:58 |
| Belisarivs | Hi all | 16:58 |
| neb_net | does anyone know why my sound card stopped working after linux-headers was updated. It worked fine (mostly) before out-of-the-box. | 16:58 |
| Zeek15 | seems alot of people are having that problem | 16:58 |
| * DRebellion thinks that the !offtopic factoid should be changed to emphasize that the person in question is talking offtopic, rather than just list the channels... | 16:58 | |
| zhobbs | mneptok, hmm...I still get "Can't find X includes" when running ./configure trying to compile and app | 16:58 |
| mneptok | zhobbs: what app? | 16:58 |
| === ^DaN4E^^^ is now known as ^barbie^^ | ||
| bruenig | neb_net, I can assure you that it has nothing to do with linux-headers | 16:58 |
| zhobbs | pgcalc | 16:58 |
| julio__ | Folks, I need a dic of English-Porutugues somebody know anything about it??? | 16:58 |
| noodlesgc | A general announcment for all: ubotu is A BOT. It can answer questions, to use it type "!<keyword> | 16:59 |
| jetscreamer | /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) if you installed the headers zhobbs | 16:59 |
| Belisarivs | where should I ask for additional language for KDE4? I see, that it is maintained by MOTU team. | 16:59 |
| jetscreamer | oh | 16:59 |
| ^barbie^^ | eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee | 16:59 |
| ^barbie^^ | nim nogy | 16:59 |
| jetscreamer | zhobbs: install xserver-xorg-dev | 16:59 |
| chazco | Hi... Ubuntu is trying to update itself, but keeps failing with the error: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.51_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/common/ir-common.ko', which is also in package v4l | 17:00 |
| chazco | ". Any ideas? | 17:00 |
| neb_net | bruenig, strange, that's the only thing that changed. It always was slightly tempramental (sp?) though, so maybe there is something else going on | 17:00 |
| bruenig | neb_net, linux-headers is just a series of c headers, its like downloading 200 text files basically is all | 17:01 |
| L3ttuc3 | how do i force fsck at bootup? | 17:01 |
| mneptok | zhobbs: no idea. never used that. none of the packaged calculator tools suits your needs? | 17:01 |
| bruenig | well more than that, probably like 500 | 17:01 |
| chazco | L3ttuc3 - Create /forcefsck i think | 17:01 |
| L3ttuc3 | chazco huh? seriously? any docs on that? | 17:01 |
| Pici | L3ttuc3: sudo touch /forcefsck | 17:02 |
| chazco | So yep... just create it it seems | 17:02 |
| Pici | !fsck > L3ttuc3 (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 17:02 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici damn, and i thought there was some more elegant way of doing it! | 17:02 |
| chazco | Hi... Ubuntu is trying to update itself, but keeps failing with the error: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.51_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/media/common/ir-common.ko', which is also in package v4l". How can I force it to install? | 17:02 |
| bruenig | chazco, stop | 17:02 |
| codeCowboy | hi. my sound has stopped working on Ubuntu 7.10 - i think since the rcent round of updates (using the auto-updater). the card is detected - 02:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a). can anyone help me troubleshoot this? | 17:02 |
| Pici | L3ttuc3: I think theres a reboot or shutdown switch to do it as well. | 17:02 |
| chazco | ? | 17:02 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici -f i think. | 17:03 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici uh, no, -F... | 17:03 |
| lilg111111 | no sound in ubuntu, can somebod help | 17:03 |
| neb_net | just as i'm curious then, if you don't mind answering some more questions, what are those headers for, and why is this the only time I had to restart after an update? | 17:03 |
| necrocan666 | can anyone help me ? i need to change permissions for a whole drive... ubuntu won<t le me saying i have no permission... | 17:04 |
| bruenig | neb_net, if you had to restart, then you installed more than just linux-headers, you must have installed a kernel too, headers are needed for others applications to compile against if you compile software from source | 17:04 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici manpages have nothing about /forcefsck. tsk. annoying. | 17:04 |
| Slart | necrocan666: try using sudo | 17:04 |
| DRebellion | necrocan666: prefix your command with 'sudo' | 17:04 |
| mrdlouisd | I have a pen drive that has the boot flag option on and I can't get it to turn off. I'm extremely new to linux and just cant figure out how to format it. | 17:05 |
| ripp3r666 | mrdlouisd, gparted | 17:05 |
| chazco | Should I reinstall or something then if i'm not supposed to update? | 17:05 |
| erUSUL | neb_net: bruenig is right along with head there was a kernel update so you have to restart to use the new kernel | 17:05 |
| mrdlouisd | it shows the locked icon | 17:05 |
| mrdlouisd | and i cant get it off | 17:05 |
| shukty | i need a help wiki [ not common comand or bash pls ] to add my lan machine into my firewall [ i forgot how to add a lan ip into iptables command line ... :( ] | 17:05 |
| ripp3r666 | mrdlouisd, umount it | 17:05 |
| jetscreamer | mrdlouisd: you would use fdisk to remove the boot flag.. | 17:05 |
| ripp3r666 | still have to unmount it. | 17:06 |
| bruenig | neb_net, the kernel update could have screwed up your sound though for sure | 17:06 |
| jetscreamer | but yeah umount | 17:06 |
| necrocan666 | i am trying to do this through the graphical interface... can you change a whole drive's permissions using chmod ? | 17:06 |
| jetscreamer | yes necrocan666 | 17:06 |
| mneptok | necrocan666: yes | 17:06 |
| jetscreamer | just add -R | 17:06 |
| ripp3r666 | or | 17:07 |
| bruenig | probably more practical to mount it with a umask | 17:07 |
| ripp3r666 | just chown the drive | 17:07 |
| jetscreamer | oh this is #ubuntu | 17:07 |
| Nermal | keep up | 17:07 |
| neb_net | bruenig, right, could you suggest anything I could do to try to get it working? | 17:07 |
| mrdlouisd | it still will not let me format | 17:07 |
| codeCowboy | hi. my sound has stopped working on Ubuntu 7.10 - i think since the rcent round of updates (using the auto-updater). the card is detected - 02:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 0a). can anyone help me troubleshoot this? | 17:07 |
| bruenig | neb_net, can't really, I mean if the kernel module isn't working for you, there is nothing you can really do, it is compiled, it is not configurable, recompiling the kernel maybe? but I am not even certain where the problem is | 17:08 |
| bruenig | could be that the module isn't even being modprobed | 17:08 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: lsmod |grep -i emu10k1 | 17:08 |
| neb_net | thanks bruenig | 17:08 |
| jetscreamer | !tell papiculo about root | 17:09 |
| noodlesgc | !root | papiculo | 17:09 |
| ubotu | papiculo: 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 | 17:09 |
| mneptok | eep. opp. ork. uh-huh. | 17:09 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is there a list somewhere of which programs are usable on the 7.04 live cd? | 17:09 |
| ripp3r666 | pfft | 17:09 |
| ripp3r666 | there is root. | 17:09 |
| Debaser | i ve got D-Link hurrican router connected to my box via usb how do i make it work? | 17:09 |
| itazuki | 'ey. Anyone have any clue why ubuntu Gutsy install stops on 15% * Detecting file systems *. Live cd? | 17:09 |
| ripp3r666 | sudo -s | 17:09 |
| ripp3r666 | the just run passwd | 17:10 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, thanks dude. http://pastebin.ca/894047 | 17:10 |
| chazco | Is it safe to shutdown the PC after a failed update? | 17:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | or sudo su | 17:10 |
| flajann3 | Having a hell of a time installing 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10 on a Dell Latitude D830 Laptop -- seems to be issues with the display driver, get "running in low-graphics mode" dialog. Any susgestions? | 17:10 |
| Pici | !noroot | ripp3r666 | 17:10 |
| ubotu | ripp3r666: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 17:10 |
| mneptok | ripp3r666: that is not good advice. | 17:10 |
| ripp3r666 | mneptok, sure it is. | 17:10 |
| mneptok | ripp3r666: the root account is disabled for a reason. please don't try to second guess the distro team. | 17:10 |
| Debaser | guys i ve got a prolink hurricane router connected to my box via usb how do i make it work? | 17:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | it's about freedom. we can second guess anyone. that | 17:11 |
| itazuki | 'ey. Anyone have any clue why ubuntu Gutsy install stops on 15% * Detecting file systems *. Live cd? | 17:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | that's the point | 17:11 |
| bruenig | the all knowing distro team..... | 17:11 |
| mneptok | Seven_Six_Two: and i'm free to ban you for giving new users bad advice. | 17:11 |
| mneptok | Seven_Six_Two: freedom goes both ways. | 17:11 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: your sound moudles are loaded.. | 17:11 |
| bruenig | don't you cross them, linux is not about freedom, follow the distro team | 17:11 |
| jetscreamer | modules | 17:11 |
| ripp3r666 | bruenig , thats like crippling the distro "oh , we dont think people should have this, so were gonna take it away" | 17:11 |
| ripp3r666 | thats not the gnu spirit. | 17:12 |
| chazco | Is it safe to shutdown the PC after a failed update of linux-image? I need to make sure it'll turn on afterwards :) | 17:12 |
| bruenig | ripp3r666, don't direct that comment at me | 17:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | no kidding. it's like a police state in here | 17:12 |
| ripp3r666 | i'll /join #ubuntu-dev and have a chat with them. | 17:12 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer. hmm. was wondering if it could be related to alsa? though not really sure what that is | 17:12 |
| jetscreamer | chazco: you slhould fix that, but if you have the old kernel ok | 17:12 |
| ripp3r666 | Seven_Six_Two, i agree. | 17:12 |
| Seven_Six_Two | you're free to have an opinion, as long as it's the one we've given you... | 17:12 |
| brobostigon | however directly looging in as root is a huge security rick, thats why its disabled, | 17:13 |
| chazco | jetscreamer - I asked for help and was told to stop the update... im not sure whats currently installed/not | 17:13 |
| mneptok | ripp3r666: it's #ubuntu-devel. and tell them Kurt from the Canonical support offices in Montreal sent you. | 17:13 |
| brobostigon | its for your own good | 17:13 |
| bruenig | ripp3r666, the rationale is that the average ubuntu user probably can't handle root, hurts their brains | 17:13 |
| Photo1 | My Ubuntu CD is only a few days old, but Update Manager wants me to install 286MB of updates! Should I? | 17:13 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: install alsa-utils, if you didn't , and see if the volume on your sound mixer (the speaker by the clock) are muted or anything like that | 17:13 |
| chazco | Photo1 - Mine does the same, not much you can do about it | 17:13 |
| DRebellion | Photo1: yes | 17:13 |
| Pici | Photo1: Ubuntu CDs are not re-mastered every time a new update comes out... so yes, you should update. | 17:13 |
| jetscreamer | Photo1: normal | 17:13 |
| chung | thanks noodlesgc | 17:13 |
| ripp3r666 | bruenig, you ever think thats because they make this distro so bloated down with automated crap that people never truly learn how to use their toolchain properly? | 17:13 |
| chazco | Which is a pain on a capped connection, but still... | 17:13 |
| Photo1 | Good, I will then :) Thanks! | 17:14 |
| chung | can you actually play online games on linux? | 17:14 |
| Matteo_ | could someune help me in mouse configuration? | 17:14 |
| Debaser | guys i ve got a prolink hurricane router connected to my box via usb how do i make it work? | 17:14 |
| DRebellion | chung: yes | 17:14 |
| Pici | !games | chung | 17:14 |
| ubotu | chung: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 17:14 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, yep done that | 17:14 |
| ali1234 | Debaser: you need the firmware for the device... those things are a real pain to set up | 17:14 |
| chung | DRebellion: i tried it but it doesn't actually work | 17:14 |
| bruenig | ripp3r666, that is pretty obviously the goal, abstraction to prevent the need for comprehension | 17:14 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, how do i run alsa utils? | 17:14 |
| ripp3r666 | bruenig, thats horrible. | 17:15 |
| DRebellion | chung: what did you try, and what doesn't work? | 17:15 |
| Seven_Six_Two | is krfb and krdc executable from the 7.04 cd? | 17:15 |
| mneptok | ripp3r666 / bruenig: you guys are WAY off-topic. | 17:15 |
| ripp3r666 | why would anyone want to use something and not understand how it works? | 17:15 |
| mneptok | bruenig: and you, sir, should know better. | 17:15 |
| Debaser | ali1234, so it wont work? where do i find the firmware | 17:15 |
| MirJA | codeCowboy, you dont run alsa-utils, you have to run alsamixer | 17:15 |
| itazuki | 'ey. Anyone have any clue why ubuntu Gutsy install stops on 15% * Detecting file systems *. Live cd? | 17:15 |
| chazco | Anyone know how to fix a failed update then? It seems like it may not startup until i do | 17:15 |
| ripp3r666 | mneptok, these are valid points that are being made. | 17:15 |
| bruenig | ripp3r666, just go #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:15 |
| ripp3r666 | mk | 17:16 |
| ali1234 | Debaser: start here i guess: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/EciAdsl | 17:16 |
| chung | DRebellion: i tried to play online games but it doesn't work and it keeps on saying i need to install a plugin | 17:16 |
| DRebellion | chung: adobe flash? | 17:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | !livecd | 17:16 |
| ubotu | The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option. | 17:16 |
| DG19075 | Got to chime in for bruenig and co. here: Ubuntu is for those new to Linux, who may be coming from Windows, and want as much intuitiveness as possible. | 17:16 |
| codeCowboy | MirJA, yeah thanks. that just mirrors the gui control, though, really | 17:16 |
| Seven_Six_Two | !what's on the live cd | 17:17 |
| ali1234 | Debaser: if you have the option to use ethernet i recommend that instead... | 17:17 |
| erUSUL | ripp3r666: the points are not about ubuntu support; are they? | 17:17 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: do you happen to know what snd_ice1712 is for, on your box? | 17:17 |
| chung | i think i have installed that | 17:17 |
| Seven_Six_Two | !what's on the live cd mein fuhrer | 17:17 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: got some headphones or anything else doing sound? | 17:17 |
| chung | DRebellion: I think i might have installed that player | 17:17 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, no idea sorry | 17:17 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: i too have sblive and i have no idea what that is either | 17:17 |
| codeCowboy | will try headphones | 17:17 |
| ali1234 | Debaser: i once tried to set up an eciadsl modem and after trying about 10 different firmwares i finally found one that worked, but disconnected after about half an hour (with a kernel panic that required a reboot) | 17:17 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, ooh good to know you have one too. i have extra stuff in my lsmod? | 17:18 |
| DRebellion | chung: that was broken until today. try installing again. | 17:18 |
| mahmoud_ | !ubotu | 17:18 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: my guess is that whatever this ice1712 thing is it's conflicting with the sblive | 17:18 |
| codeCowboy | any idea how to reinstall the drivers without having to reinstall the whole shebang? | 17:18 |
| mohammed | HEY | 17:18 |
| Debaser | ali1234, if i try to make that work then i ll also have to buy a hub to increase the ethernet connections i was just wondering if there would be a way to save that :) | 17:18 |
| chazco | Okay, fixed it by uninstalling my v4l package... but now i cant use my TV card / remote :( | 17:18 |
| mohammed | WHERE CAN I BUY UNBUNTS? | 17:18 |
| mahmoud_ | what bot is ubotu based on? | 17:18 |
| ubotu | I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 17:18 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: you would first want to figure out wtf this ice thing is, make sure you don't need it, then blacklist the module | 17:19 |
| Schiz0 | infobot. | 17:19 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, ok thanks. its as good a guess as any - i will look into that. thanks! | 17:19 |
| mahmoud_ | !caps | mohammed | 17:19 |

| woodsoul | is it better to use gnome apps on gnome or can they be mixed with apps from kde? | 17:19 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, that means editing a file somewwhere and adding a blacklist line right? | 17:19 |
| mahmoud_ | thanks Schiz0 | 17:19 |

| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: yeah... | 17:19 |
| jetscreamer | !blacklist | 17:20 |
| ubotu | To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 17:20 |
| Debaser | ali1234, i have something that looks like my router Prolink Hurricane 7000 mine is hurricane 9700p | 17:20 |
| Pici | mahmoud_: Er. Ubotu is a supybot, not infobot. | 17:20 |
| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, or is there a way of uninstalling then reinstalling the sblive stuff? | 17:20 |
| DRebellion | Seven_Six_Two: ubotu isn't that clever ;) | 17:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | doesn't the bot have my answer? ubunt | 17:20 |
| codeCowboy | or is that a bit of a windows concept? | 17:20 |
| Debaser | ali1234, i meant that there is something thats compatible with Prolink Hurricane 7000 but mine is 9700P | 17:20 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: you just load or unload it, not an 'install' kind of thing.. they're kernel modules | 17:20 |
| magick | Is it possible to clear out broken hibernation sessions? on boot it tries to open it up | 17:21 |
| jetscreamer | codeCowboy: you would install a new kernel for that kind of 'upgrade' | 17:21 |

| codeCowboy | jetscreamer, yeah. kernels. i prefer the KFC kind of kernel | 17:21 |

| thatoldchestnut | hi, I'm trying to create a partition using gparted. I've got a 70gb hdd (35gb free space), and I want to give 30gb to ubuntu. however, once I tell it to create the partition and it reaches the point where it says 'real resize', my system freezes completely. any ideas, anyone? thanks in advance... | 17:33 |
| Roy | I have an issue. I have enabled the toggle keys on my keyboard. Yet I cannot hear any sound when I press the CAPS LOCK or NUM LOCK key. Any hints would be highly appreciated. | 17:33 |
| BeCreativ | Hi, I'm new to ubuntu and I have a question. The laptop I installed ubuntu on has no internal on board network card so I went out and got a USB dongle for it, I found a driver that would work in ubuntu. I just don't know how to install it, when I try to unpack the files where the ReadMe says to, it says I need permission. After scanning several resources on file permissions. I'm stumped, yall got any help? | 17:34 |
| Roy | :( | 17:35 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I unfortunately am using ubuntu right now, and would like to know which programs are available in the gnome menu when the 7.04 cd is booted. My cdrom drives are not working, and I'm not going to try to get help with them in here. I've googled for an answer but can't find one. | 17:36 |
| cliebow | Beardedninja, sudo wont help? | 17:36 |
| Peanut | nemilar: I just finished the partition resize on MacOSX/Ubuntu you advised me on earlier - worked like a proverbial charm. resizeVolume on MacOSX, shrink my MacOSx partition by 5GB while running - then boot into Ubuntu CD and use Gparted to add the extra diskspace to Ubuntu and resize the filesystem. Wow! :-) | 17:36 |
| cliebow | ahhhhh | 17:36 |

| jetscreamer | wonder what it does | 17:38 |
| thatoldchestnut | sorry to repeat myself. I'm trying to create a partition using gparted. I've got a 70gb hdd (35gb free space), and I want to give 30gb to ubuntu. however, once I tell it to create the partition and it reaches the point where it says 'real resize', my system freezes completely. any ideas, anyone? thanks in advance... | 17:39 |
| cst-student | skold, but how do I set the theme | 17:39 |
| marcos | HOLA | 17:39 |
| BeCreativ | Ok, it does show it when we do that, but the device isn't functioning. | 17:39 |
| jetscreamer | Roy: you would probably need to install apt-file, and do apt-file update ... apt-file is for seeing what is inside packages | 17:39 |
| jetscreamer | the cache is for packages | 17:39 |
| cliebow | BeCreativ, give me a url and ill take a peek | 17:40 |
| BeCreativ | For the driver? | 17:40 |
| marcos | HELLO... I M argentina... and yours??? | 17:40 |
| cliebow | yeah | 17:40 |
| jetscreamer | !es | 17:40 |
| ubotu | Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 17:40 |
| skold | cst-student: normally you should just select it and it should update itself... | 17:40 |
| boubbin | thatoldchestnut where are you doing that? in livecd ? | 17:40 |
| BeCreativ | http://sourceforge.net/projects/zd1211 | 17:40 |
| jetscreamer | BeCreativ: ok it sees the device, you 'probably' just need to load a module for it.. | 17:40 |
| thatoldchestnut | boubbin: I downloaded the iso from the website and put it onto a cd with iso recorder | 17:41 |
| BeCreativ | Right, how do I do that exactly? | 17:41 |
| bp|_ | Hello. Looks like appending that line wasn't enough | 17:41 |
| boubbin | thatoldchestnut i mean did you then boot from the cd and tryed to do the partition there, or are you resizen it in windows ? | 17:41 |
| thatoldchestnut | boubbin: ah right. yeah, I booted from the cd | 17:42 |
| thatoldchestnut | boubbin: I'm using gparted to do it, by the way | 17:42 |
| boubbin | thatoldchestnut sounds very odd, so how long have you been waiting when it freezes ? and is the hdd really old or is your system ancient ? | 17:43 |
| boubbin | yeah, thats the trick | 17:43 |
| cliebow | BeCreativ, meet me in #cliebow if you like | 17:43 |
| waxworks | can anyone tell me why Ubuntu will not work on a HP compaq 6715b? | 17:44 |
| thatoldchestnut | boubbin: I think the computer was built in 2004, thereabouts. 750mb of ram, thereabouts. it usually freezes after about ten seconds of saying it's doing a 'real resize' | 17:44 |
| boubbin | how long have you been waiting after the freeze ? | 17:44 |
| thatoldchestnut | about half an hour | 17:45 |
| thatoldchestnut | haha | 17:45 |
| thatoldchestnut | caps lock light doesn't go on or anything | 17:45 |
| makingtheswitch | hey everyone | 17:45 |
| boubbin | thatoldchestnut yeah that should be enough.. you can try to do this in windows also if the gparted somehow gives you these odd things, but you need a proper software for it. i used partition magic when i fooled around with windows back then. | 17:46 |
| makingtheswitch | I've tried the Live CD and I've decided to make the switch from Windows XP. I would like to know if anyone knows of a good server or web storage for me to store my My Documents folder on | 17:46 |

| tripps | Zeek15, it was already enabled but checked to be sure | 18:00 |
| Dante202 | Riotkittie: So when I did that I got the same install error as with fsaa1655g so now I fear I dont have madwifi anymore | 18:00 |
| Zeek15 | tripps, hmm I got the same card as u, post ur xorg | 18:00 |
| zoom | no mahmoud_ | 18:01 |
| genii | waxworks: Perhaps it is not a matter of the shipped cd was bad, but that your system needs particular boot options, or a 32bit cd instead of a 64 bit one, or so on | 18:01 |

| redheat | just help around here would really appreciated | 18:03 |
| redheat | I'm installing Ubuntu as we're speaking | 18:03 |
| mahmoud_ | zoom: stable since Feb 07 | 18:03 |
| aman | noodlesgc: how can i install ubuntu on multiple systems on networking | 18:03 |
| genii | waxworks: And what cd did you have shipped? | 18:04 |
| waxworks | 32 bit | 18:04 |
| aman | noodlesgc: like in a computer | 18:04 |
| aman | la | 18:04 |
| redheat | and I have one harddrive, with two partitions primary, one partition extended, and free space for Ubuntu | 18:04 |
| aman | lab | 18:04 |
| Zeek15 | tripps, hmm everything here looks the same mostly | 18:04 |
| ktwo | anyone using an asus notebook with ubuntu ? (to be precise: im searching for a way to regulate cpu fan, lm-sensors does not seem to work) | 18:04 |
| browniehead | how can i change what my toolbars look like | 18:04 |
| redheat | I have partitioned the free space into ext3 for ubuntu main drive (/) | 18:04 |
| genii | waxworks: eg i386 cd then? | 18:04 |
| redheat | and another one for the swap | 18:04 |
| browniehead | i use emerald them manager | 18:04 |
| noodlesgc | aman, so you have a ton of computers and you want ubuntu on all of them? | 18:04 |
| redheat | I was wondering should I set that main partition to logical or primary | 18:05 |
| redheat | I mean would that affect the bootloader menu detecting the grub | 18:05 |
| tripps | Zeek15, i'm thinking about attempting to install aiglx again - is it supported in restricted drivers or should i do it manually? | 18:05 |
| Ashfire908 | how do i resume a progrma after it's been stopped? | 18:05 |

| Tyger | any ideas why my openoffice word processor would be running so laggy and slow... | 18:05 |
| genii | aman: For something like that consider setting up a netboot server | 18:05 |
| psycholvlan | excuse me... i need help | 18:05 |
| Dante202 | Ok need some help with fsaa1655g. And on top of that I think I killed madwifi. :( | 18:06 |
| razordead | Ashfire908, try the fg command | 18:06 |
| aman | genii: netboot server? | 18:06 |
| noodlesgc | aman, Ive never done network install before. sorry cant help. | 18:06 |
| psycholvlan | somethings wrong with my ubuntu | 18:06 |
| aman | genii: i mean how can i setup that? | 18:06 |
| Zeek15 | well I still wanted to know why more then one program can use the alsa driver... | 18:06 |
| tripps | Zeek15, any other way to debug desktop issue? traces or something I can do with X or something? | 18:06 |

| noodlesgc | psycholvlan are you on Feisty or Gutsy? | 18:07 |
| psycholvlan | the new 7.10 one... can't remember what its called | 18:07 |
| Zeek15 | 7.10 is gutsy I thought? | 18:08 |
| Tyger | why does my openoffice run so laggy? | 18:08 |
| psycholvlan | i think so | 18:08 |
| tripps | Zeek15, i wonder if my issue is having xorg-driver-fglrx and xserver-xorg-video-ati installed at the same time | 18:08 |
| Tyger | i have 1GB ram...and im only word processing.. | 18:08 |
| psycholvlan | it was fine last time I used it | 18:08 |
| psycholvlan | i think it has something to do with compiz | 18:08 |

| noodlesgc | psycholvlan I had the titlebar problem once, I dont know what causes it. I fixed it by just clearing my user prefs. | 18:09 |
| Pici | alex-weej: Try a different mirror then. | 18:09 |
| alex-weej | Pici: I tried the US mirror too -- same speed | 18:09 |
| psycholvlan | how you clear user preferences... I'm new to linux | 18:09 |
| Dante202 | Anybody know something about installing fsaa1655g | 18:10 |
| Tyger | alex-weej: can those save to .doc format, so i can open it on a windows machine? | 18:10 |
| alex-weej | Tyger: yes | 18:10 |
| alex-weej | Tyger: I am assuming you are using GNOME here and not KDE | 18:10 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan do this: mv .gconf gconf | 18:10 |
| alex-weej | if you use KDE, try KOffice | 18:10 |
| necrocan666 | i need to share a few drives on a mswindows network.... the ntfs drive went like a breeze... but my 2 fat32 drives have admin only permissions is there a way to change this ^ | 18:10 |
| makingtheswitch | Is partitioning the hard drive really as difficult as people have made it seem when installing 7.10? I thought it included a tool and sort of made a default decision for you to choose? | 18:10 |
| psycholvlan | ok | 18:10 |
| aman | genii: is it necessary to have ubuntu installed atleast on a single system? | 18:11 |
| mahmoud_ | Goro: where did you get the ubuntu CD from? | 18:11 |
| psycholvlan | nothing popped up | 18:11 |
| Tyger | alex:weej: im using GNOME, yes....abiword can save it so i can open it on a windows machine? | 18:11 |
| alex-weej | makingtheswitch: you tell it how much space you want to use, and it does it all for you. | 18:11 |
| tripps | Zeek15, very helpful thanks i'll go through this | 18:11 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan then reboot. | 18:11 |
| alex-weej | Tyger: yes. apt-get install abiword | 18:11 |
| psycholvlan | i did already | 18:11 |
| makingtheswitch | So what is suggested if you want Ubuntu to be your only OS? | 18:11 |
| psycholvlan | it didn't fix it | 18:11 |
| Goro | mahmoud_: i downloaded it from web and burned to cd | 18:11 |
| alex-weej | makingtheswitch: there's an option for that, too. | 18:11 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan after you typed mv .gconf gconf? | 18:11 |
| genii | aman: You can also setup a tftpboot server in Windows or in MacOS of course. But another Ubuntu box would be preferred | 18:11 |
| makingtheswitch | i understand Linux needs a partitioned drive to perform well right? | 18:11 |
| alex-weej | makingtheswitch: any OS needs a partitioned drive to perform :) | 18:11 |
| Dante202 | Anybody that can help me install madwifi? | 18:12 |
| Goro | mahmoud_: on another pc it working properly i cheched it all ok | 18:12 |
| makingtheswitch | ahh, I thought Linux specifically needed more partitioning to perform better or something | 18:12 |
| aman | genii: which method is easy? | 18:12 |
| psycholvlan | It did nothing... said nothing | 18:12 |
| psycholvlan | o0h | 18:12 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan are your titlebars still missing? | 18:12 |
| genii | aman: I find setting it up on another Ubuntu box the least complicated. | 18:12 |
| psycholvlan | mv .gconf gconf clears the preferences? | 18:12 |
| razordead | makingtheswitch, it can be helpful, but it's not necessary | 18:12 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan yes | 18:12 |
| psycholvlan | oh ok brb | 18:12 |
| makingtheswitch | I also thoguht I read somewhere that there was a tool included with installing 7.10 that transferred your files from your old OS | 18:12 |
| alex-weej | makingtheswitch: don't worry about it -- the installer will do everything it needs to without bothering you. | 18:13 |
| makingtheswitch | but it's good to back them up anyway... | 18:13 |
| aman | genii: you mean the ubuntu machine. | 18:13 |
| aman | ? | 18:13 |
| makingtheswitch | alex-weej that's good to know :) | 18:13 |
| zoom | i wish to create a package for a friend from sources: ./ configure make make deb ?? ok make deb juste after the configure ? thanks | 18:13 |
| razordead | makingtheswitch, I saw something like that, don't remember what step of things it was in | 18:13 |
| mahmoud_ | genii: the PXE install link does not open here | 18:13 |
| makingtheswitch | razordead alright, well I'm going to take some precautions anyway but I'm seriously hoping there is, I might not backup all my music... there's just too much of it | 18:13 |
| necrocan666 | i need to share a few drives on a mswindows network.... the ntfs drive went like a breeze... but my 2 fat32 drives have admin only permissions... is there a way to change this ? | 18:13 |
| makingtheswitch | and I have most of it on CD and vinyl anyway | 18:14 |
| genii | aman: I mean the computer you decide to host the installation cdrom image and to boot the client machines from should be Ubuntu (or a version of linux at least) | 18:14 |
| noodlesgc | necrocan666 I couldn't get my shares to work without a password | 18:14 |
| genii | mahmoud_: I just checked it from here, works fine. | 18:14 |
| aman | genii: ok then it is final that i will first install gutsy on a single machine in the lab. | 18:15 |
| noodlesgc | necrocan666 come to think of it I couldn't get them to work with a password either | 18:15 |
| psycholvlan | ok the person that was helping me in here? | 18:15 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan yes? | 18:15 |
| psycholvlan | it didn't work | 18:15 |

| necrocan666 | noodlesgc : what bugs me is that the ntfs drive went well.... i am wondering how to change permissions for a whole drive... | 18:16 |
| makingtheswitch | OH, guys one more thing... this server I'm trying out to store my files uses Java for uploading and downloading... will that work alright on Ubuntu's Firefox? | 18:16 |
| oni-dracula | genii, ok... "sudo chroot /dev/sda1" ? | 18:16 |
| psycholvlan | no desktop effects is still missing | 18:16 |

| psycholvlan | thx | 18:18 |
| genii | oni-dracula: Mount the old / someplace like /mnt/olddrive then loopmount /dev /proc /boot /sys directories into there. Then chroot there | 18:18 |
| psycholvlan | that brought back the bars | 18:18 |
| tripps | Zeek15, in my xorg.conf file, what are the additional Section "device" # sections for? note device is not capitalized | 18:18 |
| razordead | necrocan666, FAT32 partitions don't have permissions... you need to tell the mount command what permissions to give it on mount | 18:18 |
| psycholvlan | though desktop effects is still missing | 18:18 |

| noodlesgc | psycholvlan did it install something? or was it already installed? | 18:20 |
| genii | oni-dracula: eg: sudo mkdir /mnt/old; sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/old then mount some of the live cd dirs into there like: sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev | 18:20 |
| oni-dracula | genii, i see | 18:20 |
| tripps | Zeek15, ok thanks - in the pastebin you sent me, he has you adding four lines in xorg.conf under Device - "vesa" Driver line is commented out in that doc. I suppose that's not an error? | 18:20 |
| psycholvlan | i installed compiz | 18:21 |
| genii | oni-dracula: The loop or bind mounting splices the livecd dirs of stuff like /proc /sys and /dev into the old / since it won't have anything there, not having booted up of course | 18:21 |
| Zeek15 | tripps, that was ment to comment out ati | 18:21 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan check if desktop effects is there | 18:21 |
| psycholvlan | nope | 18:21 |
| psycholvlan | maybe i need a reboot? | 18:21 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan try this: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 18:22 |
| genii | oni-dracula: After you loop/bind mount the livecd /dev /proc and /sys you can do: sudo chroot /mnt/old or so. Then execute whatever you need there. exit by typing exit | 18:22 |

| noodlesgc | psychoman did you try to enable it through the appearences menu? | 18:35 |
| psychoman | no | 18:35 |

| noodlesgc | psychoman titlebars? | 18:38 |

| psychoman | still only have 2 workstations | 18:38 |
| Photo1 | Ah. | 18:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bahr: Have you installed ccsm yet? | 18:38 |
| psychoman | i had title bars back since metacity --replace | 18:39 |
| psychoman | they haven't disappeared since | 18:39 |
| noodlesgc | psychoman you have to set workspaces when you turn effects on. | 18:39 |
| waxworks | IV got a stuped question. why cant Linux use Mac-Apple drivers sence Mac is Unix? | 18:39 |
| theone1993 | I also tried XGL, but then the X crashes completley | 18:39 |
| bahr | Jack_Sparrow: Yes I think I have, that was the thing, which added extra effects, right? | 18:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | waxworks: not likely | 18:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bahr: YEs, and let you add workspaces etc | 18:40 |
| Roscar | Hi, using the autoupdate tool, I updated my linux headers yesterday. Now when booting, GRUB no longer detects my windows install. How can I fix this? | 18:40 |
| noodlesgc | psychoman install compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:40 |
| theone1993 | edit grub.list | 18:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roscar: You need to edit grub and put back the option for windows | 18:40 |
| bahr | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah hehe, just installed ubuntu, so I need to figure out how everything works first and get used to it :) | 18:40 |
| praveen_ | psychoman, compiz is having problem identifying ur Video Card | 18:40 |
| noodlesgc | psychoman you should have no more problems as long as you enable effects through appearences | 18:40 |
| psychoman | nothing happened with sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roscar: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 18:41 |
| noodlesgc | psychoman is it install already? | 18:41 |
| theone1993 | psychoman go to add/remove and search for compiz | 18:41 |
| psychoman | where's add/remove | 18:41 |
| DRebellion | Roscar: just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst (like you did when you first set up dual-boot) | 18:42 |
| Roscar | Jack_sparrow: Ok, but how do I know what to put in there? this seems like an bug. how would I report it? | 18:42 |
| noodlesgc | psychoman open System->Administration->Synaptic | 18:42 |
| ryanakca | is there any way to view the progress of apt's upgrade? Somehow synaptic and adept do it, but how to view it from CLI? | 18:42 |
| psychoman | ah it not there | 18:42 |
| psychoman | i think i have to be on my other log in | 18:42 |
| psychoman | brb | 18:42 |
| noodlesgc | psychoman yes you do | 18:42 |
| theone1993 | psychoman: its it Programs | 18:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Roscar: Not a bug.. dont bother.. | 18:42 |
| waxworks | Jack_Sparrow: if Mac is Unix then why cant we use Mac Drivers? | 18:42 |
| noodlesgc | theone1993 he was in a non administrative account | 18:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | There is a copy of what goes in there in the existing grub menu.lst | 18:42 |
| Roscar | waxworks: different kernels | 18:42 |

| Fatih` | Hi to everyone | 18:43 |
| LukeLM | hello | 18:43 |
| noodlesgc | Hi Dr. Nick | 18:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | waxworks: I dont have time to discuss it.. try asking in offtopic.. but there are differences | 18:43 |
| waxworks | Windows is a different Kernel and we use there drivrs | 18:43 |
| Fatih` | How can i see if my 4 cpus are working ? Like that: I mean like that: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1417/1420036294_f0bcbdf311_b.jpg | 18:44 |
| psycholvlan | ok install compizconfig-settings-manager | 18:44 |
| Fatih` | ı don't use gnome, ı have only xfce | 18:44 |
| psycholvlan | installed that is | 18:44 |
| Photo1 | OK, I want to contribute. How do I make a copy of a monitor config file and correct it? | 18:44 |
| theone1993 | you will find it right beneath apperances | 18:45 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan now go to System->Preferences and you should see compiz settings | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fatih`: try /proc/cpuinfo | 18:45 |
| Photo1 | Anyone? | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: YO mean a copy of your xorg.conf ? | 18:45 |
| psycholvlan | yea | 18:46 |
| psycholvlan | it works now | 18:46 |
| psycholvlan | ty | 18:46 |
| theone1993 | nice | 18:46 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan no problem | 18:46 |
| Photo1 | No, tried that. Doesn't work - still seems to read values from the faulty monitor conf | 18:46 |
| psycholvlan | where you set up workstations? | 18:46 |
| psycholvlan | how many that is | 18:46 |
| Fatih` | Jack_Sparrow thanks it works | 18:46 |
| psycholvlan | I don't see it | 18:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | great | 18:46 |
| paul__ | jul456 | 18:46 |
| noodlesgc | psycholvlan i think you have to use the panel icon | 18:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: When you say monitor config, which file are you refering to | 18:47 |
| psycholvlan | ok that worked | 18:47 |
| Photo1 | btw Jack_Sparrow: Ubuntu install went flawlessly and I'm running on accel gfx drivers now :)) Just need to force it to use my correct modeline from PowerStrip | 18:47 |
| psycholvlan | thanks again | 18:47 |
| theone1993 | <jack_sparrow>: xorg.config i think | 18:48 |
| Ernst_ | Hi, i am just curious (no need to point to the dis/advantages of sli) did nvidia get triple sli support to linux with it's drivers? | 18:48 |
| Hammer89 | anyone have any idea how to get to the screen-brightness option in Ubuntu? it's not in my power management options... and right now I'm using a launcher in AWN to run a little bash script I wrote which runs the Compiz widget layer... which dims my screen for battery conservation purposes.... not exactly ideal :P | 18:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: So the file you want to edit and or copy is xorg.conf right | 18:48 |
| cr4z3d | how do i check what version of a driver i have? | 18:48 |
| mehteenager | Hammer89: Laptop right? | 18:48 |
| Photo1 | I don't know :) I'm learning all this, and xorg.conf doesn't contain "all" monitors, so I want to add a monitor so I can force Gnome to use mine instead :) | 18:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/Jacks-Notes/xorg.conf.$(date +%m-%d-%Y-%T) will create copy on your desktop | 18:48 |
| noodlesgc | Hammer89 I just use the fn keys on my keyboard | 18:48 |
| Hammer89 | mehteenager: yeah | 18:48 |
| mehteenager | Hammer89: On my notebook I have keys I hit with my function button that it adjusts it that way. | 18:49 |
| Hammer89 | FN keys aren't working | 18:49 |
| ryanakca | is there any way to view the progress of an apt command (install, upgrade, remove, clean, etc) on the CLI? Somehow synaptic and adept do it, but how to view it from CLI? | 18:49 |
| lilg111111 | 1 | 18:49 |
| mrdlouisd | trying to remove a boot flag with gparted, how can I if it keeps stating the device is in read only? | 18:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mrdlouisd: unmount it | 18:50 |
| atrophic | I'm trying to configure kdirstat's context menu items to work with gnome. I'm stuck on the move to trash one, which is defaulted to `kfmclient move %p %t` (%p == Full Path, %t == KDE Trash Directory). What can I use to do this without using kfmclient? | 18:50 |
| Fatih` | Jack_Sparrow, last thing, do you know any monitoring applications where i can see which cpu is working, or which is idle, or which one use how many of his power etc.. | 18:50 |
| mehteenager | Hammer89: NVidia card? You could try playing with nvidia-settings. | 18:50 |
| Hammer89 | mehteenager: ATI card | 18:50 |
| noodlesgc | ryanakca I dont think so. when its downloading you should see a progress bar | 18:50 |
| Photo1 | Well, on SUSE I just removed all modelines and resolutions and added the correct ones, and it worked. But not in Ubuntu 7.10. And I would like to have one more resolution for games at max refresh. | 18:50 |
| [1]Bob | should I just jump in now? | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Fatih`: NOt off the top of my head sorry | 18:50 |
| mehteenager | Hammer89: No idea. | 18:50 |
| visof | how can we make the icon for the application that haven't icons? | 18:50 |
| Photo1 | Jack_Sparrow: (in xorg.conf) | 18:50 |
| Fatih` | ok | 18:51 |
| ryanakca | noodlesgc: yes, I see one while downloading... I'm just wondering as for while its installing... thanks :) | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | visof: right click desktop and create launcher | 18:51 |
| ferric84 | I'm ssh'd into another server through the terminal. Whenever I try to gedit a file I get a gtk-warning saying "cannot open display" - any ideas on how to fix? | 18:51 |
| Photo1 | visof: right click desktop, create launcher | 18:51 |
| [1]Bob | i have a question about upgrading from previous version of ubuntu | 18:51 |
| Photo1 | hehe :) | 18:51 |
| noodlesgc | [1]Bob yes? | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | just ask | 18:52 |
| atrophic | ferric84, gedit is a graphical editor. Try using nano instead | 18:52 |
| visof | what about the command? | 18:52 |
| ferric84 | atrophic: there's no way to open gedit? | 18:52 |
| visof | how should be? | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo nano if needed | 18:52 |
| danand | ferric84 - you need to open your ssh session with -X option if you want to use gui based stuff | 18:52 |
| [1]Bob | if i install 5.10 can I upgrade to the current version via online install? | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ferric84: gksudo gedit | 18:52 |
| atrophic | ferric84, not through a console. Even if it did work, it would open on the remote machine's display, not yours. | 18:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ah remote... | 18:53 |
| ferric84 | ok | 18:53 |
| ferric84 | thanks | 18:53 |
| atrophic | ferric84, you can look into sshfs, which will mount a remote file system via ssh, then you can use your own gedit to edit the remote files | 18:53 |
| Photo1 | Jack, so no idea how to make a file to select for "Screen Graphics" in Gnome? | 18:53 |
| noodlesgc | [1]Bob I dont think so. | 18:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: I have told you a few different times.. you would need to do it in xorg | 18:54 |
| noodlesgc | [1]Bob 5.10 is not supported anymore | 18:54 |
| ferric84 | that -X switch did work | 18:54 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Hello i need to shrink a DVD image on my hd so i can burn it to DVDRW what programs can I use to do this and i would prefer one that would burn the image to disk as well | 18:54 |
| boubbin | atrophic nope, it opens on your display notin the remote if you use ssh with -X | 18:54 |
| yukaa | Bonjour | 18:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pirate_Hunter: k9copy | 18:54 |
| visof | photol how should the command be? | 18:54 |
| [1]Bob | okay...knew that...just wondered if the upgrade could be done via online connection rather than reinstalling via CD | 18:54 |
| noodlesgc | Pirate_Hunter dvd95 | 18:54 |

| redheat | hi all | 18:55 |
| Imgragael | anyone willing to help me figure out why 7.10 doesnt want to install on my pc? | 18:55 |
| Photo1 | I followed the guide, sudo nano blah blah xorg.conf, still seems to read resolutions I have removed!! from xorg.conf | 18:55 |
| redheat | I really need some help here please | 18:55 |
| yukaa | merci | 18:55 |
| visof | photo1 /usr/local/bin | 18:55 |
| visof | ? | 18:55 |
| noodlesgc | [1]Bob no it cant | 18:55 |
| praveen__ | Imgragael, go ahead wat is the problem ? | 18:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: That indicates you have not set the v/h rates correctly for your monitor | 18:55 |
| redheat | I just installed ubuntu, and right now, I wanna to uinstall it, but if I did that, I can't get back to my other windows installations | 18:55 |
| danand | ferric84 - just looking at sshfs that atrophic suggested - does look good! | 18:55 |
| Photo1 | visof, where is the program you want to launch? Find the path... :) | 18:55 |
| ferric84 | danand: thanks, i'll take a look | 18:56 |
| redheat | Ive installed all of them on a one harddrive | 18:56 |
| [1]Bob | okay...thanks for the help...guess i'll wait for my 7.10 cd then...thanks again | 18:56 |
| Photo1 | Normally you just type the name of the app, opera, maya, ... | 18:56 |
| Imgragael | I have downloaded several different 7.10's for my pc setup, burned the cd's, and all 4 of them lock the pc up. | 18:56 |
| papiculo | why not just delete the Linux partition from windows? | 18:56 |
| redheat | can anyone just tell me what to do? | 18:56 |
| L3ttuc3 | is there a way to desaturate the icons in gnome-panel? | 18:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | redheat: fdisk /mbr or fixmbr | 18:56 |
| L3ttuc3 | i mean, make them become grey, lose their colour. | 18:56 |
| atrophic | boubbin, the -X switch has security problems and requires additional setup | 18:56 |
| noodlesgc | [1]Bob if you're downloading an image, you could speed things up with axel | 18:57 |
| redheat | Jack, under which windows should I use that command | 18:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Use a windows boot floppy or windows recovery mode to repair mbr | 18:57 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Jack_Sparrow, noodlesgc: thanx will check them out first | 18:57 |
| redheat | windows xp or vista? | 18:57 |
| Photo1 | Jack_Sparrow: No, the ones in Gnome are incorrect. My modelines were generated from a system tool called PowerStrip. | 18:57 |
| [1]Bob | i'm not familiar with axel | 18:57 |
| pingu_ | does anyone know how well a full version of photoshop will work on ubuntu | 18:57 |
| jport0 | can someone help me ? The seconds on my time and date are moving like milliseconds instead of seconds | 18:57 |
| lilg111111 | ive been trying everything to get sound in ubuntu, i cant figure it out, does anybody know how to get it working | 18:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Photo1: Sorry cant help you | 18:57 |
| Photo1 | So I would like to make a correct "Dell 2707WFP" Entry. | 18:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pingu_: learn gimp.. or if you must use cs2 I believe | 18:58 |
| Photo1 | So it can be selected user friendly from Gnome and not a permanently hacked xorg.conf? | 18:58 |
| noodlesgc | [1]Bob just type sudo apt-get install axel, then type axel <url>, and you get ultra-fast downloades | 18:58 |
| papiculo | pingu: try using gimp | 18:58 |
| pingu_ | Jack_sparrow yea i am learning gimp but i think photoshop is more powerful | 18:58 |
| [1]Bob | okay, thanks for the tip | 18:58 |
| noodlesgc | lilg111111 what brand card do you have? | 18:58 |
| Photo1 | pingu: PS 6.0 is oldest decent Photoshop | 18:59 |
| [1]Bob | that will do me for now...thanks gain...i appreciate it | 18:59 |
| L3ttuc3 | Photo1 i'd have to say 5.0 was nicer... | 18:59 |
| Photo1 | Less .dlls :) | 18:59 |
| pingu_ | photo1 the oldest or the newest? | 18:59 |
| Photo1 | "Oldest decent" | 18:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | pingu_: the same tools are in gimp.. Just not where I was used to seeing them.. there are some good online help pages.. | 18:59 |
| mrdlouisd | i have umounted my pen drive that has a boot flag that i cannot remove in gparted, i still cannot touch the drive read only | 18:59 |
| lilg111111 | how do i find that noodlesgc, im a newbie | 18:59 |
| pingu_ | jack sparrow can you point me in that direction | 19:00 |
| L3ttuc3 | Photo1 6.0 didn't bring a lot of new stuff over 5.0 if i remember correctly. each new version tends to become a little chuggier. | 19:00 |
| choi | ei | 19:00 |
| Photo1 | i.e., not annoying for people used to CS3 ;) | 19:00 |
| choi | acabo de instalar ubuntu | 19:00 |
| lilg111111 | noodlesgc, how do i figure that out, im a newbie | 19:00 |
| Photo1 | l3ttuc3: It had some very useful layer functionality like in newer versions | 19:00 |

| shizzworx | so here's what I've done:: I've made two partitions, D:\=200gb and C:\=20gb = now, I've installed winxp on D:\ and had both partitons NTFS. I then decided to use Ubuntu7.10, so I used the C:\=20gb and partitioned it LINUX and LINUX SWAP. Now i start up winxp and attempt to install a game which tells me [ Invaid Drive Letter C:\ ] (or something similar to that), because now there's only a D:\ no more C, C became LINUX/LINUX SWAP. So | 19:09 |
| shizzworx | I decided maybe I could fix this by reinstalling xp overwriting XP and changing the D:\ to C:\ upon install....great it worked, C:\ is now the letter, but now there's no more GRUB i think it is - a boot loader to select which OS to run. The problem is I dont have access to my Ubuntu anymore and I dont know how to access it now that there's no boot-loader - please could someone help me out? | 19:09 |
| Creationist | I don't know how to make it use qt3.3 instead | 19:09 |

Have you taken a look at the repositiries you use ie look in synaptics -> settings -> repositories or preferably in /etc/apt/sources.list. It seems emacs is under gutsy-updates. You should have this line in your sources.list file - deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main restricted | 19:35 |
| jack | when i am user i get access denied when going to the mount point | 19:35 |
| Willyboy666 | in the xorg.conf i have dev/input/wacom but system i never fined this file ,,,,,,,,, can some one help me | 19:35 |
| jack | when i unmount, i can access the local directory | 19:35 |
| jack | so i asked my question | 19:35 |
| k5ehx | jack: read up on permissions for mounted filesystems, or make it mountable by a user. This has nothing to do with "what sshfs is" | 19:36 |
| fred9 | danand let me see | 19:36 |
| jack | how do i access the remote directory as user? | 19:36 |
| Jagatuba | :'( | 19:36 |
| danand | fred9 - maybe just deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates main | 19:36 |
| potato | i can't find my .screenlets in ubuntu can some one tell me ware i should find them? | 19:36 |
| jack | the local mount point is owned by user and has 777 but when i mount the remote directory on it, it becomes only accessible by root....i want user to access it, how do i do that? | 19:37 |
| white_eagle | g | 19:37 |
| potato | ware the defoult location is | 19:37 |
| k5ehx | so my mail.* log files are being rotated, but there's nothing in logrotate.conf or logrotate.d that seems to cover that. Anybody know where that might be configured. | 19:37 |
| Jagatuba | HI | 19:37 |
| k5ehx | potato: what is a screenlet? | 19:37 |
| potato | like a widgit | 19:37 |
| jack | typical reply i get after these is 777 is not good | 19:37 |
| Jagatuba | I think I'm a little bit laggy | 19:37 |
| Willyboy666 | its been a week i am searching the net for solution and till now what i found is that dev/input/wacom doesnt exist on my system | 19:37 |
| k5ehx | jack: maybe mount it as the user? | 19:37 |
| jack | k5ehx: when i mount it i do it as user | 19:38 |
| potato | k5ehx: ` do you know what a wigit is? | 19:38 |

| === xsushi is now known as xcucumber | ||
| danand | jack - if you add a line to your /etc/fstab file for the destination drive in question and add the option "user" this will allow all users to mount the filesystem themselves | 19:39 |

| danand | jack - ok, but adding the required line to /etc/fstab will allow all users to mount the filesystem via the command line - rather than having to sudo mount ... - which means all files etc will have read/write permissions of user rather than root | 19:42 |
| k5ehx | jack: this looks kind of useful, but not sure how it would apply to sshfs http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/987270955/index_html | 19:42 |

| Invisible_Kubunt | neb_net, that tells you that its a module, and that its not compiled in the kernel and the module is compiled if the module wasn't compiled then there would be a problem | 20:04 |

| neb_net | Invisible_Kubunt, could you elaborate on that | 20:07 |
| tripps | Invisible_Kubunt: i thought I read somewhere that even the latest restricted ati drivers automatically used aiglx now so it wasn't necessary . . .but that doesn't seem to be the case | 20:08 |
| Invisible_Kubunt | neb_net, did you do a check to see if the module was even already loaded? | 20:08 |

| timandtom_ | PriceChild: Didn't think of it till erUSUL suggested it, I'l tryin it now | 20:09 |
| timandtom_ | PriceChild and erUSUL: No luck, reinstall didn't work. | 20:09 |
| Invisible_Kubunt | tripps, if I remember correct the 9600 isn't covered by the new drivers they can only use the old DRI Drivers | 20:09 |
| tripps | Dimitree: what problems are you having exactly? | 20:09 |
| neb_net | Invisible_Kubunt, I did a lsmod, it wasn't listed | 20:09 |
| k5ehx | za1: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/12/03/os-x-like-widgets-with-screenlets-on-ubuntu-update/ <- does that answer the question? | 20:09 |
| Invisible_Kubunt | neb_net, what is the command your doing again? | 20:10 |
| za1 | i've seen some sites that says that you sould go to /usr/local/share/screenlets o home/USER/.screenlets | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | timandtom_: ? you removed it and reinstalling and have you closed firefox and open it again? | 20:10 |
| tripps | Invisible_Kubunt: ati just released in oct the new drivers that support aiglx now. i just installed them - not sure about the ubuntu repo tho | 20:10 |
| za1 | but i don have those files | 20:10 |
| Dimitree | tripps, i see wierd graphics when ubuntu starts and it turns off and on the monitor couple of times | 20:10 |

| shr1k3 | Dimitree: you CAN try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to start over | 20:10 |
| erUSUL | timandtom_: well it owrked like a charm for me and i'm using 64 bit ubuntu here | 20:10 |
| tripps | Dimitree: is it usable? can you get follow shr1k3's instructions to get it back to original | 20:11 |
| Invisible_Kubunt | tripps, good luck getting them to actually use the AIGLX trust me I spent over a week trying to get a darn Rage 128 chip on this laptop using those drivers | 20:11 |
| PriceChild | timandtom_, what did the terminal do? | 20:11 |
| k5ehx | za1: /usr/local/share is usually created if you compile and install something manually. /home/me/.screenlets is probably created when you run the program. It's invisible, also. | 20:11 |
| Dimitree | i will try right now | 20:11 |
| PriceChild | timandtom_, what did it say? | 20:11 |
| Invisible_Kubunt | neb_net, what is the error again | 20:11 |
| timandtom_ | PriceChild and erUSUL: Ah, wait, it worked this time. I reinstalled via Synaptic before, this time used terminal. Thanks guys | 20:11 |
| erUSUL | timandtom_: no problem | 20:12 |
| tripps | Invisible_Kubunt: any idea if the ubuntu restricted repos use any similar versioning to the underlying driver? ati repo is 7.x; ati catalyst is 8.01 | 20:12 |
| alexkreuz | what exactly is the adobe bug? | 20:12 |
| danand | fred9 - take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55016/ - That should give you a working /etc/apt/sources.list file. Copy the text (using the bottom window so it doesn't include the line numbers) and save it as your /etc/apt/sources.list file. After that run sudo apt-get update. Then run sudo apt-get upgrade. Then after that you can sudo apt-get install emacs :) | 20:12 |
| k5ehx | za1: you might have looked for /home/USER/.screenlets with something that doesn't show you invisible files, maybe? | 20:12 |
| alexkreuz | does it cause firefox to close unexpectedly? | 20:12 |
| za1 | yeap, but i do the crtl+h thing, and it isn't there | 20:12 |
| Invisible_Kubunt | tripps, if I remember right the rep only supports from the x1000 and newer models if I remember what I read right | 20:12 |
| neb_net | Invisible_Kubunt, the error was FATAL: error inserting snd_intel8x0 ... : Bad address | 20:13 |

| Zaehlas | Hello. I could use some crtical help. My server is down, running Gutsy 7.10 64 bit. After kernel upgrade yesterday, my network connection dropped. I had to switch to a different computer. My server won't talk to my cable modem anymore. It might be a routing issue, as for a time, I could ping the gateway, but no other IP addresses. help? | 20:33 |
| Tyger | i have a cd that came with my college textbook, how can i view the progs in wine? | 20:33 |
| Photo1 | Zaehias: Can you access the router's web interface by surfing to 127.0.0.1 (or similar)? | 20:34 |
| Photo1 | (to see if the router is alive) | 20:34 |
| vallhalla81 | musikgoat its a pentium 2 | 20:34 |
| musikgoat | vallhalla81: xubuntu is good for older systems, because the graphical manager is xfce, a low cost GUI, otherwise, give ubuntu a try and see how it performs | 20:34 |
| Photo1 | If the router works for other pcs/OSes it's fine I guess | 20:34 |
| DRebellion | Tyger: take a look at the "autorun" file (or similar) in the root directory of the cdrom and use wine to run the binary it specifies. | 20:34 |
| Zaehlas | Photo1: I have a static IP address, and don't know how to access the cable modem. It's a rental from my cable company, so I don't have access to the web interface for it. | 20:35 |
| vallhalla81 | ok thnk you | 20:35 |
| Zaehlas | Photo1: yeah, I'm using now on this laptop, windows, unfortunately, but better than nothing at this point. | 20:35 |
| Photo1 | Ah, no router? Got it. You should test it on another computer tho. | 20:35 |
| fred9 | danand it's working!You're the best! | 20:35 |
| Photo1 | It works? Well, then it's in Linux. | 20:35 |
| pocketdrummer | How necessary is it to have anti-virus and a firewall? | 20:35 |
| hinotf | i think there is still problem | 20:36 |
| kea0463 | hello | 20:36 |
| fred9 | Photo1 lol | 20:36 |
| kasra | pocketdrummer: desktop user ? | 20:36 |
| bastid_raZor | pocketdrummer; for Ubuntu i haven't run had or run either in over a year | 20:36 |
| hinotf | only one modul line in modules | 20:36 |
| kea0463 | can i create my own channel with xchat | 20:36 |
| Zaehlas | Photo1: Any way to fix it? If I try to ping "outside" my network using my server connected normally, my internal address responds that no route possible. But I use Firestarter to set up dhcp, etc. | 20:36 |
| musikgoat | pocketdrummer: a firewall is very neccessary, but i'm not so sure about a/v, i don't use a/v | 20:36 |
| bastid_raZor | pocketdrummer; but a firewall i use my router to block ports etc.. | 20:36 |
| danand | fred9 - no problem - now I'm blushing :) - make sure you run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade regularly for security updates :) | 20:36 |
| Photo1 | Zaehlas: No idea, seems upgrade has a problem with your modem. | 20:37 |
| Tyger | drebellion; how? i opened the autorun.inf with wine, but nothing happened... | 20:37 |
| Photo1 | Can anyone recommend a 3D game or demo that benchmarks my Ubuntu? :) | 20:37 |
| sherl0k | glxgears | 20:37 |
| hinotf | Unreal Tournament | 20:37 |
| dep | Photo1: glxgears is standard | 20:37 |
| Photo1 | OK, will try it :) | 20:38 |
| pocketdrummer | And do any of you know how to make a G7 mouse work? Do I need to disable the nVidia drivers in order to edit xorg.conf without problems? | 20:38 |
| kasra | Photo1: Tremulous | 20:38 |
| DRebellion | Tyger: _read_ the autorun.inf (eg cat autorun.inf) | 20:38 |
| dep | pocketdrummer: the mouse driver is separate from the video driver, there should not be a conflict. What does it say in dmesg when you plug the mouse in? | 20:39 |

| fred9 | danand thx | 20:39 |
| Zaehlas | OK, anyone else have an idea? After kernel upgrade yesterday, my server stopped talking to my cable modem. The NIC's seem to work, and I could ping the gateway (after the modem) but no further. I've currently hooked up my laptop direct to the modem to get internet to talk to you all, but I've tried reboots, restarting modem, reconfiguring Firestarter, and nothing seems to work. | 20:39 |

| LukeLM | Photo1, you should have glxgears, try opening a console window and type in glxgears | 20:41 |
| dep | xentrho: 'sudo mysqld' from a command line should start it, although usually you want the database server to start on boot, I gotta check how ubuntu does that currently if you want it to always start on boot | 20:42 |
| tripps | mmm perhaps removing the xserver-xgl will do the trick :) | 20:42 |

| Dimitree | lol :) | 21:06 |
| Dimitree | ok thank you guys | 21:06 |
| zil2 | how do I find app name? | 21:06 |

| pocketdrummer | Does anyone know why I would go into low-quality mode after editing xorg.conf? | 21:07 |

| sp | zil2: don't you know which app is it that's causing the trouble? | 21:07 |
| neverblue | NiceEmil, this is an Ubuntu channel | 21:07 |
| mpetersen | Invisible_Ubunti: sudo mount 192.168.1.101:/home/ubuntu/Downloads /home/me/mount ? | 21:08 |
| Invisible_Ubunti | mpetersen, this is from /etc/exports /home/me/Downloads *(rw,sync) | 21:08 |
| pepperjack | Dimitree: if its the gui and taskbar and stuff like that rm -fr ~/.g* will delete all your config files. youll lose any shortcuts etc you created just logoff and backin after doing that | 21:08 |
| xenthro | Q: how do i start phpmyadmin | 21:08 |
| magick | this is odd.. I tried to change volume using the system tray but if i increase it, instead of going up in percentage it does this: 75% mute 78% mute 81% etc. | 21:08 |
| mpetersen | Invisible_Ubunti: sudo mount 192.168.1.101:/home/me/Downloads /home/me/mount ? | 21:08 |
| zil2 | ahh, its still not closing the app... nothing is responding but the mouse is still moving | 21:08 |
| zil2 | is there anything I can do? | 21:08 |
| Invisible_Ubunti | mpetersen, ahh didn't know the 1st one had to be what mount point on the other machine | 21:08 |
| mpetersen | yeah... that's the idea ;) | 21:08 |
| Dimitree | pepperjack, will this remove xorg.conf files and so on ? | 21:09 |
| sp | zil2: as I said, switch to a text terminal (ctrl+alt+f1 for example) and kill it from there | 21:09 |
| tripps | Dimitree: reinstallation is not necessary i'm sure . . . take a break and relax and come back to it with some more patience :) | 21:09 |
| shaun | any ideas? | 21:09 |
| pepperjack | Dimitree: no just your profile stuff like in windows stuff under documents and settings for example | 21:09 |
| sp | zil2: if kill doesn't work force it to exit using kill -9 | 21:09 |
| mpetersen | anyone help with start-stop-daemon writing the wrong pidfile? any ideas? | 21:09 |
| zil2 | sp: its not going, it is just frozen.... mouse is moving, but thats all | 21:09 |
| pepperjack | Dimitree: horrible example on my part btw | 21:09 |

| ukkeman | oh btw. grub/menu.lst points to the right uuid there has nothing changed | 21:10 |
| Invisible_Ubunti | mpetersen, darn was hoping to get these files transfered over before this old laptop overheated and froze lol | 21:11 |
| mpetersen | so, no ideas why start-stop-daemon would write to /var/run/file.pid when I specify --pidfile /var/run/director/file.pid ? | 21:11 |
| Dimitree | tripps i did uninstall them :) then the rep drivers were active and i uninstalled them too then i reinstaleld the drivers fromthe rep whitch which before everything worked fine but now i am able to change my resolution and the driver is active but i get no 3d acceleration lol | 21:11 |

| neverblue | goppp_, why are you editting it manually, what can do you have? | 21:12 |
| burn_ | hi guys, i just installed Ubuntu7.10, when i want to add shared folders, it keeps asking me to install nfs and smb but it doesnt install, just keeps popping up | 21:12 |
| pepperjack | !tar.gz | rsfriends | 21:12 |
| ubotu | rsfriends: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 21:12 |

| saif | i am trying to login to the ubuntu forums and it's not working! :S i click the login button, it says thank for logging in, and then it redirects me to the main page and i am not logged in! | 21:13 |
| Schiz0 | rsfriends: a tar.gz file is just a archive (like zip or rar) | 21:13 |
| neverblue | goppp_, its in the 'Section "ServerLayout"' | 21:13 |
| Schiz0 | it's not something you can install. Extract the archive and then read the readme file that is most likely in it | 21:14 |
| rsfriends | ok, but ther is a program in that tar.gz | 21:14 |
| pepperjack | rsfriends: tar xfvz filename.tar.gz or use the graphical tool. you then need to read the included readme or install file for instructions as it varies. however check to make sure it isnt available in the repo already you rarely need a tar.gz | 21:14 |
| jjgalvez | where does the cupsys configuration files live? | 21:14 |
| rsfriends | ok thx all | 21:14 |
| rsfriends | did found it now | 21:14 |

| goppp_ | but I don't get dual monitor | 21:17 |
| neverblue | goppp_, then there you go | 21:17 |
| gleaken | Stevethepirate: download the livecd and run it, see what works, what doesn't | 21:17 |
| neverblue | goppp_, please keep your posts to one line, thanks! | 21:18 |
| Talash_ | hi all | 21:18 |
| Stevethepirate | gleaken: : yeah, i would do that.. | 21:18 |
| dgjones | Stevethepirate, just boot up with the livecd, that'll give you a good idea whether it'll work | 21:18 |
| Stevethepirate | but | 21:18 |
| UbuntuNoobx1k | Cannot install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' | 21:18 |
| UbuntuNoobx1k | This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' the conflicting software must be removed first. | 21:18 |

| Talash_ | I have a question regarding pipelining and substring search | 21:18 |
| Stevethepirate | i'm in a bandwidth deprived country. | 21:18 |
| UbuntuNoobx1k | can sumone help me please | 21:18 |
| Schiz0 | Invisible_Ubunti: Yes. However the ubuntu-desktop virtual package (it's a fake package that depends on all stuff for a desktop) depends on those things. So you'll have to remove that desktop virtual package too | 21:18 |
| Stevethepirate | So, i'll only get ubuntu if it'll work :( | 21:18 |
| Flannel | Stevethepirate: what do you have then? | 21:18 |
| Talash_ | basically I have a newly generated sources.list file, copy-pasted form somewhere on the web | 21:18 |
| Invisible_Ubunti | Schiz0, what does the desktop virtual package do? | 21:18 |
| gleaken | Stevethepirate: That would give you an idea. mostly, other than ATI or nVidia cards and broadcom wifi cards, you should be fairly ok, what is the computer? | 21:18 |
| Stevethepirate | Flannel: like. I -can- get the CD.. but I don't want to waste 700 megs of cap | 21:19 |
| Flannel | Stevethepirate: Google is your best bet then. See if anyone out there has your computer working with Ubuntu | 21:19 |
| goppp_ | VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics and VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] are my cards neverblue . | 21:19 |
| white_eagle_ | download manager with a GUI | 21:19 |
| dgjones | Stevethepirate, you could always ask for a copy to be sent via shipit, it might take a couple of weeks, but it'd save you downloading a copy | 21:19 |
| Talash_ | that file contains a lot of lines going like "NOTE: sudo gpg --keyserver blah blah blah" etc | 21:19 |
| TryingOutLinux | I think my ubuntu is broken! I can't get anything except what camew with it to work! | 21:19 |
| Flannel | Stevethepirate: see also, shipit.ubuntu.com, they'll send you one | 21:19 |
| Schiz0 | Invisible_Ubunti: Nothing. It depends on all the desktop packages though (gnome, xserver, etc). So instead of installing all them manually, you can just install the desktop package and it does it all automatically | 21:19 |
| Schiz0 | it doesn't add any feature or anything, it's a "virtual package" or whatever it's called | 21:19 |
| Stevethepirate | No, if I want to install it, i'll do it like soonish, varsity starting and all. | 21:19 |
| Talash_ | erm, sorry: "NOTE: wget blah blah |sudo apt-key add -" | 21:20 |
| Stevethepirate | Let me just check what hardware the lappie has in it. | 21:20 |
| gleaken | Is there anyone here I can talk to about the problems with the current kernel? | 21:20 |

| MarcC | my laptop HD keeps spinning down, how do I stop it from doing that? | 21:21 |

| DRebellion | ab3: there is no difference between 'desktop' and 'server', apart from the packages supplied on the disk. | 21:21 |
| Flare183 | Flannel: you know that everyone get me and you confused | 21:21 |
| Talash_ | what I tried to use is "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep NOTE: | cut -c[from-to] | wget -i -" | 21:21 |
| Flare183 | gets* | 21:21 |
| Flannel | Flare183: yeah, it happens, I'm used to it. | 21:21 |
| dgjones | !hcl | Stevethepirate, you could check this to see if other people have installed on the same make laptop | 21:21 |
| ubotu | Stevethepirate, you could check this to see if other people have installed on the same make laptop: 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 | 21:21 |
| gleaken | this is something that didn't happen before with the last kernel revision | 21:21 |
| Talash_ | it doesn't work because there are spaces after the urls | 21:21 |
| Flare183 | Flannel: ok just checking no hard feelings | 21:21 |
| Dimitree | pepperjack, i reach a screen with " Please choose the font face you would like to use on Linux console." there is a OK at the bottom but i can't activate it with Enter or clicking on it ? | 21:21 |

| goalieca | best way to remove network manager applet? | 21:21 |
| gleaken | firefox will hang and not respond, thunderbird stopped downloading mail in the middle and then resumed after a period of freezing | 21:22 |
| Talash_ | maybe there's a way to make a substring search which'll take out just the urls? | 21:22 |
| Flannel | Flare183: no, of course not | 21:22 |
| Flare183 | Flannel: kk | 21:22 |
| gleaken | beryl even greyed out the window to indicate it was locked | 21:22 |
| Flannel | Talash_: there are many ways. Check out regular expressions. | 21:22 |
| TryingOutLinux | I think my brand new ubuntu is broken! I can't get anything except what camew with it to work! | 21:22 |
| goppp_ | neverblue, I tryed the gui, screen and graphic to get dual monitor in 7.10 but it only allowed one card at a time | 21:22 |
| Flannel | TryingOutLinux: you'll need to be more specific than that, "doesn't work" doesn't tell us a whole lot. | 21:23 |
| Talash_ | yeah. I am not sure about the way I should write that expression | 21:23 |
| Talash_ | can anyone be more specific? | 21:23 |
| _1 | hi | 21:23 |
| TryingOutLinux | Flannel: nothing will run | 21:23 |
| _1 | hi | 21:23 |
| _1 | ? | 21:23 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: so no errors or anything? | 21:23 |
| Flannel | Talash_: There are some pre-fab URL matching regexps, google around for them. Theyre easy to find. Thats the easiest way | 21:23 |
| TryingOutLinux | nothing will run | 21:23 |
| gleaken | Flannel: any idea, I can back out the kernel, but I don't want to, if there is a problem, I would like to help track it down, dmesg isn't being helpful either | 21:24 |
| Flannel | TryingOutLinux: What have you tried to run? and what does it do instead? | 21:24 |

| linuxprobie | Afternoon peeps, having trouble establishing a Raid in ubuntu. I set the raid in Bios, but tubuntu still views it as two hard drives. | 21:26 |
| xenthro | TryingOutLinux, instead of PS, try "gimp" or "krita" instead of itunes try "amarok", instead of quicktime, try vlc or mplayer with the w32 codecs | 21:26 |
| neverblue | goppp_, not sure what that means, but you certainly wont edit your xorg.conf manually and get it working correctly all in one night | 21:26 |
| MrRoland | ubotu can you tell me an confirmed mirror? | 21:26 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: Yes, because everything for Linux (at least most things) are free. | 21:26 |

| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: you'll find a bunch of pre-installed software already on your computer. Just run it. | 21:28 |
| noodlesgc | my friend just got a job working for microsoft | 21:28 |
| ethaqer | compiz* | 21:28 |
| xenthro | TryingOutLinux, there are so many linux distros that the answers are, corporate, community, government, individuals... the answer is all of the above... its the fact that you have a choice that is the defining characteristic of linux | 21:28 |
| Schiz0 | TryingOutLinux: One again, linux is not windows. Linux is open source, meaning it's free. | 21:28 |
| {Nathan} | noodlesgc: I feel sorry for your friend then. | 21:28 |
| noodlesgc | me too | 21:28 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: ubuntu isn't just free as in price. it's free as in you can do whatever you want with the source code (the authors do not restrict your rights) | 21:28 |
| TryingOutLinux | i only have linux because i bought a computer with it | 21:28 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux from dell? | 21:29 |
| TryingOutLinux | dell | 21:29 |
| Schiz0 | TryingOutLinux: Well if you don't want it, you can buy a copy of windows and install it on your computer. | 21:29 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux what model? | 21:29 |
| Stevethepirate | amigamia: mark shuttleworth. | 21:29 |
| Seveas | amigamia, hi | 21:29 |
| Blue_ | Stevethepirare: What model dell you running? I have ubuntu running great on a Vostro 1500 and a Inspiron 6000 | 21:29 |
| Stevethepirate | Inspiron 1720 | 21:29 |
| danand | TryingOutLinux - thats because your used to the Microsoft way. People like Richard Stallman and all the people at GNU and the FSF have worked for many years to bring us to the point where we have a free (as in freedom & price) OS | 21:29 |
| Stevethepirate | South African market. | 21:29 |

| linuxprobie | Noone can help me with the raid? | 21:29 |
| magick | Anyone know of a project that is looking to get the intel 4965 wireless drivers working? | 21:29 |
| ubuntu | on /dev/sda | 21:30 |
| MrRoland | question: which is faster? KDE or GNOME ? | 21:30 |
| sp | TryingOutLinux: GNU/Linux is free as in freedom (and you cannot do "whatever you want" with the code, but pretty much) - see http://gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html for information :) | 21:30 |
| esperegu | Hi! I need to specify --rsync-path on the client to point to the remote rsync to be able to use it. Anybody knows how I can set this on the server so I don't need to specify that anymore? | 21:30 |
| TryingOutLinux | i have an inspiron 530n | 21:30 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux and are you having problems? | 21:30 |
| Stevethepirate | magick: I have the 4965 wireless drivers | 21:30 |
| xenthro | MrRoland, i heard that kde4 is supposed to be extremely fast | 21:30 |
| Blue_ | Stevethepirate: The only issues I had were with my HD sound card but I fixed it by installing ALSA | 21:30 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: ok, so what software do you need? | 21:30 |
| Stevethepirate | Blue_: : hmm | 21:30 |
| Stevethepirate | so, you rate i download it | 21:30 |
| Stevethepirate | give it a bash? | 21:30 |
| TryingOutLinux | wait, so the developers who worked so hard to make this software let others modify it and release it on their own?! | 21:31 |
| DRebellion | !enter | Stevethepirate | 21:31 |
| ubotu | Stevethepirate: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:31 |
| magick | Stevethepirate, did it autodetect? | 21:31 |
| Blue_ | Stevethepirate: Everything else worked right out of the "box" | 21:31 |
| Stevethepirate | DRebellion: yeah, soz. | 21:31 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: yes. that is the point :) | 21:31 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux yes | 21:31 |
| tripps | ok now that i've been successful in getting aiglx to work, i've reverted everything back to vesa drivers, etc., to figure out what happened to my desktop. i still cannot access it. it is configured correctly in gconf-editor. any ideas? | 21:31 |
| browniehead | i dont think anyone is monitoring that channel | 21:31 |
| Stevethepirate | magick: haven't tried.. about to install ubuntu. | 21:31 |
| Stevethepirate | i'll see if you want? | 21:31 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: You need to realize this... I have not paid for any softwaree in 3 years. | 21:31 |
| Stevethepirate | will take me 5 mins to download ISO though. | 21:31 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: as long as the people who modify it and release it allow others to do the same. | 21:31 |
| TryingOutLinux | 3 years?!?!?! | 21:31 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: Linux is free in all ways possible. | 21:31 |
| magick | Stevethepirate, yep, just PM me the results | 21:31 |
| === pam__ is now known as MissPenguin | ||
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux i havent paid in two. | 21:31 |
| MrRoland | xenthro is kde4 available on ubuntu ? | 21:32 |
| {Nathan} | MrRoland: yes, it is | 21:32 |
| Seveas | TryingOutLinux, and it's all legal :)\ | 21:32 |
| xenthro | TryingOutLinux, of course, you think professional, non-community tech support is free? if you must follow a money trail, consider that anybody that makes $$$ off linux is usually a software consultant | 21:32 |
| E_Data | how hard is it to dual boot ubuntu and xp with ubuntu being installed first? | 21:32 |
| * MrRoland remembers kde being a BETA | 21:32 | |
| danand | TryingOutLinux - I haven't paid in about 6 or 7 years! | 21:32 |
| Blue_ | Stevethepirate: If I were you and can just download the ISO of the LiveCD burn it and boot off the CD and just play with it and see what works and what doesn't and not install it unless you think its something you want | 21:32 |
| Bethesda | Basicly, if you have Cedega / Wine for your games ( + some common sense ) you do not need to pay for any software ever again. | 21:32 |
| {Nathan} | E_Data: not very... but you will need to reinstall grub | 21:32 |
| TryingOutLinux | are you sure its all free? | 21:32 |
| MrRoland | kde4 i mean | 21:32 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: YES | 21:32 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux yes! | 21:32 |
| TryingOutLinux | someone must be making money off of it | 21:32 |
| xenthro | MrRoland, I don't believe so... but i think it was planned for kubuntu 8.04 | 21:32 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: YES! | 21:32 |
| E_Data | how {Nathan}? | 21:33 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux I myself am developing an open source project. phalkyn.sf.net | 21:33 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: companies make money off it by selling corporate support (eg 24/7 phoneline etc) | 21:33 |
| magick | TryingOutLinux, would you rather have some guy at a large company who hates his job (or is doing it for $ only) write software for you or someone who volunteers their time and creates software for the challenge? | 21:33 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: No, they are not. It's a very awesome community, and that's why I've been using Ubuntu. | 21:33 |
| {Nathan} | E_Data: Hmm... Ubuntu probably has a way to do it... lemme check | 21:33 |
| Blue_ | TryingOutLinux: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28Linux_distribution%29 | 21:33 |
| TryingOutLinux | i would rather have volunteers | 21:33 |
| danand | TryingOutLinux - check out www.gnu.org www.fsf.org. Yes people do make money from GNU/Linux - mostly from support to businesses etc | 21:33 |
| {Nathan} | TryingOutLinux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 | 21:33 |

I deleted the data as root user mostly by rm command and some packets via aptitude. there is nothing left in the trash and df still shows 100%. the partition is ext3 on a luks encrypted device. any ideas? | 21:33 |
| DRebellion | NOTICE - Guys, can we get back on topic. Continue the FOSS discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic please... | 21:34 |
| {Nathan} | err, sorry. that link was for E_Data | 21:34 |
| E_Data | k | 21:34 |
| Stevethepirate | Blue_: yeah, i would do that.. but if i'd rather have a good indication of whether it'll work or not | 21:34 |
| MrRoland | one more question: can I install ubuntu with software raid ? got that default intel matrix controller. can I? if not, I have to configure software raid ? | 21:34 |
| Stevethepirate | since i do not have a huge cap | 21:34 |

| Blue_ | Stevethepirate: Well like I said I've had very little problems with it... the biggest thing for me is just learning a new OS | 21:35 |
| TryingOutLinux | so i could, for example, take ubuntu, remove all software except whats needed to boot the system, and rename and release it as my own and no one in the world could sue me? | 21:35 |

| Schiz0 | TryingOutLinux: Yep. | 21:35 |
| tripps | TryingOutLinux: that wouldn't be ubuntu of course . . . . ;) | 21:35 |
| pepperjack | TryingOutLinux: correct. this happens often these days | 21:35 |
| white_eagle_ | DRebellion, yeees | 21:35 |
| blackmouse | does teh ubuntu installatino disc allow you to not install grub, but to use an existing grub installation? | 21:35 |
| white_eagle_ | :) | 21:35 |
| Zamboli | I'm trying to run a Madwifi script that removes wlan_scan_sta and wlan modules, but i get an error that says they're in use. how do i disable them? | 21:35 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux yep you sure could. you could even just change the artwork and release it | 21:35 |
| tripps | TryingOutLinux: all you need is a kernel, possibly initrd and a shell | 21:35 |
| Daviey | TryingOutLinux: ubuntu is just that, from Debian | 21:35 |
| Schiz0 | TryingOutLinux: In fact, Ubuntu is actually based on Debian linux (which is a completely separate distribution of linux) | 21:36 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: nah, you don't need a shell ;) init will just sleep | 21:36 |
| white_eagle_ | TryingOutLinux, linux is free as in free speech | 21:36 |
| white_eagle_ | understand? | 21:36 |
| TryingOutLinux | ok now the debate, do i keep ubuntu or throw windows on here. what do you think? | 21:36 |
| Stevethepirate | Blue_: i've used linux before :P | 21:36 |
| danand | TryingOutLinux - Debian GNU/Linux | 21:36 |
| white_eagle_ | TryingOutLinux, you can dual-boot | 21:36 |
| Schiz0 | TryingOutLinux: You're asking this question in a linux channel. Of course we're going to tell you to keep linux. | 21:36 |
| DRebellion | TryingOutLinux: at least give linux a chance. you'll come to love it. | 21:36 |
| Stevethepirate | Anyone here used 'ultimate boot cd'? | 21:36 |
| Schiz0 | Go ask in #Windows too :-P | 21:36 |
| * Bsims whines and wishes someone would add truecrypt to the repositories as my mirror is faster than the official site | 21:36 | |

| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux BTW linux is immune to viruses/worms/spyware | 21:36 |

| schasi | Can you have two libc6 installed at the same time? | 21:36 |
| TryingOutLinux | i am considering keeping linux at least for now, unless there is something major i cant do | 21:37 |
| Blue_ | Stevethepirate: Well then you're probably better of then me, but so far I have installed ubuntu on 5 different machines 2 of them Dells and all has been great! | 21:37 |
| noodlesgc | schasi thats suicide | 21:37 |
| white_eagle_ | TryingOutLinux, linux is completely free and 95% of the software for it is also free | 21:37 |
| schasi | noodlesgc: I thought so... | 21:37 |
| tripps | TryingOutLinux: you can also use vmware to run windows if necessary, or use wine (I use this to run IE to access some neanderthal websites) | 21:37 |
| white_eagle_ | as Linux is | 21:37 |
| Bethesda | Shasi, please DO NOT do that1 | 21:37 |

| white_eagle_ | TryingOutLinux, try wine, for runing windows apps on linux | 21:37 |
| Stevethepirate | TryingOutLinux: lol | 21:37 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux there is nothing linux cant do | 21:37 |
| TryingOutLinux | wine? | 21:37 |

| TryingOutLinux | its a dvd format | 21:44 |
| TryingOutLinux | my dvd recorder uses it | 21:44 |
| Stevethepirate | white_eagle_: some of the best and fasted stuff i've ever seen has been free | 21:44 |
| MrRoland | so once again, personal opinion, which is faster? kde or gnome? :P | 21:44 |
| Schiz0 | MrRoland: fluxbox | 21:44 |
| TryingOutLinux | just got kino, it looks good | 21:44 |
| Stevethepirate | there was an excellent article on that.. | 21:44 |
| ubuser | hi .. is there a program which rips dvds in avi? | 21:44 |
| white_eagle_ | MrRoland, gnome | 21:44 |
| danand | noodlesgc - dvd discs specially for video | 21:44 |
| puff | When i try to click on the task bar virtual desktop stuff, nothing happens. When I try to drag a terminal off theside of the screen, nothing happens. When I do ctrl-alt-right-arrow, nothing happens. what setting could be doing this?? | 21:44 |
| Stevethepirate | in terms of memory and CPU usage | 21:44 |
| Bethesda | Gnome, and it looks better too. | 21:44 |
| Bsims | ubuser: k9copy | 21:44 |
| white_eagle_ | KDE is krappy | 21:44 |
| Stevethepirate | with > 256 meg of ram, KDE was better memorywise | 21:44 |
| white_eagle_ | for me | 21:45 |
| * MrRoland 4 more mins to get that iso | 21:45 | |
| ubuser | Bsims: does it run under gnome? | 21:45 |
| MrRoland | so nobody knows if I can use that onboard raid controller? | 21:45 |
| puff | Ah, odd, okay, must be something in compiz. | 21:45 |
| Bsims | yeah it does | 21:45 |
| ubuser | tnx | 21:45 |
| Bsims | it might pull the libs ubuser but it works | 21:45 |
| puff | When I reset visual effects to "normal" it started working right. | 21:45 |
| Stevethepirate | ubuser: you need a ripper, akin to winavi for windows. | 21:45 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux im pretty sure that k3b burns dvd-vr | 21:45 |
| Stevethepirate | Never done it in *nix | 21:45 |
| Bsims | ubuser: its not like windows vs mac... | 21:45 |
| Manco | some understanding , grub boot loader | 21:45 |
| TryingOutLinux | noodlescg: Google tells me otherwise | 21:46 |
| noodlesgc | TryingOutLinux let me check | 21:46 |
| Bsims | Stevethepirate: k9copy, acidrip, dvdrip all do it | 21:46 |
| puff | The xterm "transparent background" effect doesn't seem to work the same as it used to. If I change the desktop wallpaper, the xterm doesn't change to match. | 21:46 |
| Stevethepirate | Bsims: ah. | 21:46 |
| TryingOutLinux | ok | 21:46 |
| Stevethepirate | Yeah, dvdrip is lank slow though | 21:46 |
| Bsims | Stevethepirate: or you can get techy and just write the commands | 21:47 |
| Stevethepirate | Haven't tried acidrip | 21:47 |
| Manco | Can someone help me i am having problems loading grub | 21:47 |
| Stevethepirate | Yeah | 21:47 |
| Stevethepirate | :P | 21:47 |
| Bsims | I use k9copy a lot | 21:47 |
| Manco | error 22 | 21:47 |
| Schiz0 | puff: I don't think it's truly transparent. I think it just takes a snapshot of the background when the window is moved or opened | 21:47 |
| puff | Ah, okay, that'swhat it is... | 21:47 |
| Bethesda | 22? It can't find one of the devices then | 21:47 |
| jpatrick | Bsims: hmm, I uploaded a new version of that once.. | 21:47 |
| Manco | any fix | 21:47 |
| Bethesda | Manco, are you sure all drives are correctly connected? | 21:47 |
| Manco | yes | 21:48 |
| Manco | it was working | 21:48 |
| puff | Schiz0: Yeah, what happened is that it became "truly" transparent, which is distracting as hell, since it shows all five layers of xterms and apps I have open :-( | 21:48 |
| Manco | till today | 21:48 |
| Bethesda | Did you use an external HDD manco ? | 21:48 |
| puff | Schiz0: So somewhere in messing around I ended up selecting "background image" in the xterm prefs instead of transparent. | 21:48 |

| Schiz0 | do that grub_install thing | 21:50 |
| Manco | can you tell me how | 21:50 |
| Schiz0 | Google can. I don't use Ubuntu. | 21:50 |

| goppp_ | gyaresu, does that work with ati | 21:58 |
| Stevethepirate | [it seemed a fashionable thing to say] | 21:58 |

| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 21:59 |
| pepperjack | FireHazrd: usually you just need to run the vmware installer or use the package. | 21:59 |
| jpatrick | FireHazrd: please read the pms in future | 21:59 |
| kieren_ | FireHazrd, don't be in a rush to ditch XP, it will take a while to get used to Linux and it's always good to have something familiar to fall back on | 22:00 |
| goppp_ | !xrandr | 22:00 |

| FireHazrd | pepperjack, what do you suggest? | 22:00 |
| gyaresu | Zamboli: I get the feeling you're trying to install some wifi drivers manually? If the script is _actually_ what you need to do and it's failing on the 'rmmod' (lower command than modprobe) then manually removing them like i suggested 'first', then running the script might help. | 22:01 |
| pepperjack | FireHazrd: vmware-server | 22:01 |
| FireHazrd | pepperjack, do i have to pay for it? | 22:01 |
| Stevethepirate | kieren_: "fail" back onto :P | 22:01 |
| Dimitree | is it possible to star a live CD from ubuntu ? or if i want to try Fedora ? | 22:01 |
| pepperjack | FireHazrd: player is fine you just need to do the easyvmx stuff.. no server is free | 22:01 |
| kieren_ | :) | 22:01 |
| FireHazrd | pepperjack, thats awesome, im gonna try it soon as i get home | 22:01 |
| pepperjack | yeah there are a ton of virtualization options | 22:02 |
| * k5ehx runs XP under virtualbox in ubuntu, works well enough | 22:02 | |
| pepperjack | k5ehx: virtualbox now supports hardware accel i hear | 22:03 |
| gyaresu | Something is spanking my HDD. Anyone know of a 'top'-like programme for seeing what it is? | 22:03 |
| Jouva | Is there any way to implement alternative methods of logging into gdm, such as fingerprint, flash drive or smartcard? Flash drive would probably be my optimal choice for lack of needing additional hardware (I don't need the gdm login to be that secure since it's just my desktop) | 22:03 |
| k5ehx | pepperjack: nice, although I have no use for that | 22:03 |
| epifanio | hi can you suggest me a package to make a live-cd (installable) lime remastersys | 22:03 |
| epifanio | but that works on ubuntu ppc | 22:03 |
| pepperjack | Jouva: you can look at standard options by gksu gdmsetup but im not familiar with using those | 22:03 |
| k5ehx | Jouva: probably, not sure how GDM integrates with options in pam | 22:04 |
| hwilde | I am seeing false/phantom power button pressed messages when plugging in a USB device. Has anybody heard of this or any links? | 22:04 |
| pepperjack | Jouva: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-17571.html <-- seems interesting | 22:04 |
| gyaresu | Jouva: Bluetooth. When your paired bt device comes back in range it logs on and starts cranking tunes... I have done this. | 22:04 |
| FireHazrd | k5ehx, pepperjack: ever tried playing games in a virtualization of xp on ubuntu | 22:04 |
| cheeseboy | anyone thats forum staff here? | 22:04 |
| k5ehx | FireHazrd: no | 22:04 |
| Invisible_Ubunti | Jouva, it can be done for USB Jump drive because Slackware allows it if your bios does | 22:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FireHazrd: Doesnt work well enough to do that.. for me anyhow | 22:05 |
| pepperjack | FireHazrd: this will not work well on vmware. virtualbox's newer builds support harware accel i hear but for windows games using wine is the standard so you dont need virtualization | 22:05 |
| Jouva | gyaresu; Interesting idea, but I can't get my bluetooth device to see other devices. I can get the bluetooth dongle itsself recognized by the Gutsy though, but it just refuses to even see anything else | 22:06 |
| FireHazrd | pepperjack, i tried wine with 7.04 but couldnt get steam working | 22:06 |
| ks | is there any way to get control of the screen if startup program locked it up ? | 22:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | FireHazrd: I keep a windows partition , (no internet access) just for games | 22:06 |
| pepperjack | FireHazrd: id check it again. often youll find one build of wine works and one doesnt.. the newer builds seem pretty impressive though | 22:06 |
| k5ehx | ks: maybe kill the program locking the screen? | 22:07 |
| lakcaj | ks, you can drop to a commandline with ctrl-alt-f1 and get back with ctrl-alt-f7. | 22:07 |
| ks | i've written a startup script that starts python program, but it outputs debug messages to console | 22:07 |
| lakcaj | ks, you can also reboot the xserver with ctrl-alt-backspace | 22:07 |
| FireHazrd | thanks guys, catch you around later | 22:07 |
| ks | lemme try | 22:07 |

| pepperjack | Cusoon959: so about:plugins does not show it? you have killed and relaunched firefox? | 22:30 |
| bulio | dep: so sudo cp -R /mnt/blah /target? | 22:30 |
| Cusoon959 | pepperjack: It doesn't show at all, and yes, I have | 22:31 |
| Cusoon959 | pepperjack: Even rebooted | 22:31 |
| Jouva | pepperjack, Looks like the instructions there for pamusb are old cause the page mentions something different, but it seems to be simple as installing libpam-usb and pamusb-tools, running pamusb-config to add a device and a user and then putting in a short line in the pam's "common-login", but I'm about to test it. So wish me luck! | 22:31 |
| pepperjack | Cusoon959: /usr/lib/firefox/plugins is the path it should be in is it there? | 22:31 |
| dep | bulio: that would copy the files from one place to another, yep | 22:31 |
| bulio | thanks | 22:31 |
| pepperjack | Jouva: very cool | 22:31 |
| bulio | now what if I wanted to put that in crontab, to have a DIY raid setup | 22:32 |
| Cusoon959 | pepperjack: Erm they're all there but I think they | 22:32 |
| Jouva | I'll let you know if it works. | 22:32 |
| bulio | is there an option so it only adds new files? | 22:32 |
| Cusoon959 | pepperjack: Erm they're all there but I think they're broken symlinks | 22:32 |
| bulio | and not copy pre-existing data | 22:32 |
| Cusoon959 | pepperjack: They show as red in the terminal | 22:32 |

| === Azer_ is now known as Azer | ||
| pepperjack | Cusoon959: ugh.. im not sure why those are broken.. are you in current version of ubuntu? you might as a workaround uninstall the package then grab the plugin from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayerplug-in/ and compile and drop em in that dir. maybe just sudo apt-get remove --purge package or whatever then update and retry i dunno | 22:36 |
| w00w00 | windows should have a file for that on C:\ & on linux, idk, search around | 22:36 |
| sansaro | hello any one here use Ubuntu on EEE PC ? | 22:37 |
| kebinusan | w00w00: bleh I trying to avoid using vista's boot loader | 22:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ryuho: I have seen them work as a regulr scanner, but not as a real fingerprint scanner/login thing.. I did see one person post that he found some info with google, but not definative | 22:37 |
| pepperjack | Cusoon959: avoid compiling the package if you can im sure there is a better solution | 22:37 |
| w00w00 | kebinusan, play around with the settings, there should be a bootloader somewhere | 22:37 |
| pepperjack | Cusoon959: like just grabing the deb and unpacking it or something | 22:37 |
| Ryuho | thx Jack_Sparrow man i was hoping i could login like that | 22:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LostCuase: Try asking in #Winehq | 22:37 |
| mohbana_ | yeh i can confirm flash is working fr me | 22:37 |
| Cusoon959 | pepperjack: I fixed it already. Purged the package with dpkg then reinstalled with aptitude | 22:37 |
| Cusoon959 | It's fine now | 22:38 |
| kebinusan | w00w00: the problem is every time I play around, I either need to boot off my live CD and reinstall grub or boot off my vista CD and fix vista | 22:38 |
| kebinusan | It makes the whole process rather tedious | 22:38 |
| mohbana_ | yeah | 22:38 |
| w00w00 | hm, then idk, my recommendation, delete vista (ew, vista) :P | 22:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kebinusan: The best solution.. is to lose Vista... I dual with XP just fine | 22:38 |

| kgx | Slart: beauty mate...thanks for that :) works perfect | 23:40 |
| luca__ | how can i have a list in console of the programs that i'm running to see the id and kill them? | 23:40 |
| iDivine_ | Hello. | 23:40 |
| Slart | kgx: you're welcome | 23:40 |

| CyberGabber | browniehead: I your using Gnome, check out 'simple backup' | 23:41 |
| astro76 | luca__: ps aux | 23:41 |
| luca__ | thats rite thank :D | 23:41 |
| browniehead | ok | 23:41 |
| browniehead | that works with ubuntu 7.10 gutsy right? | 23:42 |
| TKingdom | g-know: perhaps this will help. http://fixunix.com/ubuntu/126583-version-intel-coreii-duo-cpu.html | 23:42 |
| Darkmystere | Anyone have an idea why airodump-ng shows no access points? | 23:42 |
| browniehead | is this easyt o use | 23:43 |
| Tonglebeak | hey guys, i'm a gentoo user and am having a problem with a wireless mouse i got, not working. i know this is the ubuntu channel, but i'm not really getting any support from #gentoo with it :( anybody think they can help? | 23:43 |
| rodserling | Anyone know why my monitor goes completely black for 2 seconds every 15-30 minutes? I just installed a new Video card (7300LE) and Powersupply. It did not do this before. | 23:43 |
| CyberGabber | browniehead: A Ghost-'clone' for linux : G4L , see http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l | 23:43 |
| rodserling | I think the nvidia card might not be configured properly | 23:43 |
| TKingdom | Tonglebeak: Might be a dumb question, drivers installed? | 23:44 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| astro76 | Tonglebeak: this is ubuntu only as you suspected, try #linux | 23:44 |
| TKingdom | hmmm | 23:45 |
| TKingdom | !mirrors | 23:45 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 23:45 |
| Slart | !uuid | 23:46 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:46 |
| danbhfive | how do I check a fat32 disk for bad blocks? | 23:46 |
| TKingdom | Anyone know where to get mirrors for Repositorys | 23:46 |
| TKingdom | !repositorys | 23:46 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about repositorys - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:46 |
| mahmoud_ | !repositories | TKingdom | 23:47 |
| ubotu | TKingdom: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components | 23:47 |
| stelt | i'm doing hardly anything, have 4G of RAM and still my HD keeps going | 23:47 |
| TKingdom | Thanks. | 23:47 |
| astro76 | TKingdom: in Software Sources control panel, pick other.. from the Download from: drop-down list | 23:47 |
| TKingdom | yeah, i guess spelling correctly would help. | 23:47 |
| TKingdom | okay | 23:47 |
| genii | TKingdom: Almost all mirrors are named like: XX.archive.ubuntu.com where XX is country code | 23:47 |
| astro76 | ubuntu.com mirrors but there are many others ;) | 23:48 |
| TKingdom | It's an advantage to have mirrors, correct? | 23:48 |
| TKingdom | usually faster download times from what I hear | 23:48 |
| astro76 | TKingdom: you can only set one source for each repo, so usually pick the one closest to you/fastest one for you | 23:48 |
| fxr_ | ubuntu live cd has sound right? | 23:48 |
| TKingdom | Okay, thanks guys. | 23:49 |
| luca__ | how can i open firefox if when im trying to open it said that its still running but doesn't respond?? | 23:49 |
| astro76 | luca__: 'killall firefox' and 'killall firefox-bin' | 23:49 |
| TKingdom | ctrl+alt+backspace :) | 23:49 |
| TKingdom | even better | 23:50 |
| astro76 | TKingdom: if you are offering that as a (poor) solution you should at least warn someone they will lose unsaved work... | 23:50 |
| zelrikriando | hello | 23:50 |
| luca__ | astro76: thanks a million :D | 23:50 |
| TKingdom | That's true. | 23:50 |
| astro76 | TKingdom: we take care of the beginners in this channel ;) | 23:51 |
| TKingdom | I know, I am one so I shouldnt be answering other beginners. | 23:51 |
| TKingdom | My apologies. | 23:51 |
| TKingdom | Common sense doesn't come into play until you know what you are doing. I've learned that myself | 23:52 |
| astro76 | very true | 23:52 |
| Photo1 | Oh god, trying to extract Blender to my Home folder. I suspect I need superuser priviliges. How to? | 23:52 |
| astro76 | Photo1: to extract it, you shouldn't | 23:52 |
| astro76 | Photo1: are you aware Blender is in ubuntu's repositories? | 23:53 |
| Photo1 | It's supposed to create a folder named ".blender", but no such folder appears when I use Archive Manager | 23:53 |
| Photo1 | astro76: ... lol. | 23:53 |
| Starnestommy | .directories are hidden | 23:53 |
| astro76 | is that a yes Photo1 ? | 23:53 |
| Jouva | pepperjack: Just wanted to let you know everything worked just fine with the pamusb. Thanks for pointing me in that direction! | 23:53 |
| TKingdom | astro76: Dumb question...All the mirrors in the 'Other' section of 'Download From:' are the exact same, right? | 23:53 |
| Photo1 | Well, it's not in any menu. You mean I can install it by some automated method? | 23:54 |
| astro76 | TKingdom: yes it will set all your repos (main, universe, multiverse) to use that mirror, but it's all the ubuntu repos | 23:54 |
| unstable | I am trying to setup gutsy to share printing, I have an HP printer connected via USB to gutsy. I can print fine from gutsy, I need to setup sharing so this Vista laptop can print using the printer connected to the Gutsy desktop. | 23:54 |
| TKingdom | Thanks again. | 23:54 |
| haxality | hi, I was wondering how to remove gdm and use startx to initiate my window manager instead | 23:54 |
| astro76 | Photo1: sudo apt-get install blender, or install it through synaptic package manager | 23:54 |
| Photo1 | Right. Brb :) | 23:54 |
| ninix | hi........ anyone here had some problem with their NFS server since update to Gutsy? | 23:55 |
| unstable | Can a vista laptop print to a gutsy desktop that has a printer attached to it over the network? | 23:55 |
| === Mania is now known as sich11 | ||
| astro76 | haxality: well to remove gdm from starting you can do: sudo update-rc.d gdm remove | 23:55 |
| astro76 | haxality: at that point I believe you can just startx | 23:56 |
| frost0 | is it possible to get frets on fire working on linux w/ a guitar hero controller and a ps2-to-usb adapter? ? ? | 23:56 |
| danielski_pl | how do i install X11 mouse themes? | 23:56 |
| enzo | do you know approximatively when hardy will be released ? | 23:57 |
| TKingdom | danielski_pl: Unpack to your .icons folder in Home | 23:57 |
| TKingdom | You may have to show Hidden files (CTRL+H) | 23:57 |
| astro76 | enzo: the version tells you, 8.04, year.month | 23:57 |
| frost0 | anyone here have Frets on Fire? | 23:57 |
| haxality | hi, I was wondering how to remove gdm and use startx to initiate my window manager instead | 23:57 |
| rainwalker | is flash fixed? | 23:57 |
| enzo | ahhh astro76, i didn't know, thanks ! | 23:58 |
| genjix | hi! | 23:58 |
| TKingdom | frost0: I'm not too familiar with controllers on here, but have you tried configuring the Guitar controller like a normal joystick? | 23:58 |
| rainwalker | !flash | 23:59 |
| 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 | 23:59 |
| frost0 | TKingdom, sort of...i have a program for joystick calibration..but no luck :( | 23:59 |
| mcr | hmm. I'm trying to debug an install of hardy heron alpha on my spare laptop. ... it seems to have missed the xorg kbd and mouse input modules. | 23:59 |
| === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_pingme | ||
| mcr | that's my guess based upon /var/log/gdm/:0.log, and the fact that keyboard/mouse don't work in X. | 23:59 |
| astro76 | mcr: #ubuntu+1 for hardy | 23:59 |
| TKingdom | Yeah, I assume if you can get it to work in general then it will work for any games that supports joystick controls. | 23:59 |
