| Bizurke | Anyone who has got the 8.04 alpha. Does PulseAudio currently work? I've heard there was no volume at all until they completely finish the integration? | 00:00 |

| cyroul | hi everyone | 00:01 |
| marcus_ | hello | 00:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Does anyone know what is the command to clean files (dependencies) in ubuntu that might not be in use by nay other app after deletion? | 00:01 |
| PriceChild | Pirate_Hunter, sudo apt-get autoremove | 00:01 |
| cyroul | do you know if it exits a lightscribe support ? | 00:01 |
| astro76 | Pirate_Hunter: apt-get autoremove | 00:02 |
| brianh | Bizurke:You may get better answer in #Ubuntu+1 | 00:02 |
| PriceChild | Pirate_Hunter, deborphan my also be of use | 00:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | PriceChild, astro76: thanks can't believe i forgot that command | 00:02 |
| blackv2 | what's the file I'm looking for that tells me what caused the freeze? it did it 5 or 6 times yesterday too when I was installing vector in VirtualBox. | 00:02 |
| shawn_selig29 | "Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer."------> whats this mean, im trying to dl latest version of ubuntu? | 00:03 |
| Pirate_Hunter | PriceChild: deborpha..... huh??? | 00:03 |
| astro76 | cyroul: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LightScribe | 00:03 |
| Bluey | can anyone help em with my dial up modem? | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | !alternate | shawn_selig29 | 00:03 |
| ubotu | shawn_selig29: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode installation CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD. It can also be used as an upgrade CD. - See also !minimal | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | !desktop | shawn_selig29 | 00:03 |
| ubotu | shawn_selig29: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | whoops (shawn_selig29 ignore that last one) | 00:03 |
| shawn_selig29 | so should i use that if i encountered vid problems with regualr cd? | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | !livecd | shawn_selig29 | 00:03 |
| singlesun | Bluey, was it a windows modem? | 00:03 |
| ubotu | shawn_selig29: 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. | 00:03 |
| cyroul | astro76: thanks | 00:03 |
| PriceChild | shawn_selig29, yes. Especially if you have less than 300 mb of ram | 00:04 |
| Bluey | singlesun: yes | 00:04 |
| shawn_selig29 | i got 1 gb ram | 00:04 |
| shawn_selig29 | so ill check that when i downalod | 00:04 |
| _Oz_ | I am sooooooooo sold on ubuntu. | 00:05 |
| PriceChild | shawn_selig29, the desktop cd will run perfectly | 00:05 |
| singlesun | Bluey, someone correct me if im wrong but I dont believe that linux supports winmodems because most of those types of modems are actually software based.... you would most likely need to buy an external modem | 00:05 |
| _Oz_ | It's going to go on all of my computers. | 00:05 |
| PriceChild | shawn_selig29, well... still slow because its a live cd, but it will work fine. | 00:05 |
| shawn_selig29 | i had troubles on my laptop with some error going to a black screen..i forgot wat it said | 00:05 |
| shawn_selig29 | its dling alternate cd.....it should work same right when its installed? | 00:06 |
| amenado | i do not have XP, has anyone tried and succeeded in using winnt loader to load ubuntu instead of grub? any insights on the experience? | 00:06 |
| _Oz_ | can dell inspiron laptops w/ integrated wireless get online? It seems ubuntu and wireless and don't get along so well? | 00:06 |
| Bluey | singlesun: it is an Agere lucent win modem. the Ubuntu site said to use martian. so i did, but oi need help with martian | 00:06 |
| amenado | _Oz_-> off course they do work fine..tested in many times | 00:06 |
| hon | do you know a video sharing website using ogg? | 00:06 |
| _Oz_ | amenado: I couldn't get the PC I'm on now online with a wireless card even using ndiswrapper. | 00:07 |
| brianh | _Oz_: What card does it have? | 00:07 |
| amenado | _Oz_-> which wifi chip does it have? | 00:07 |
| singlesun | Bluey, sorry man im not sure what else to tell ya on that.. i dont mess with modems, but the times that I did, i just went and got a check v92 external serial port modem for working with linux | 00:07 |
| shawn_selig29 | so alternate cd has everything regular cd has except its text base installer correct?..as far as applications go? | 00:07 |
| singlesun | anyone to help Bluey out with the modem issues and martian? | 00:07 |
| _Oz_ | an old 801.11b PCI card (for a desktop) | 00:07 |
| _Oz_ | I wanted to get wireless working on it so I could use it as a sort of media server | 00:08 |
| amenado | _Oz_-> which wifi chip does it have? brand? lspci may tell you | 00:08 |
| broken_ | I really need some help,it may be offtopic though. I wanted to use the tftp command to flash my router but the command I was given for linux doesn't work. | 00:08 |

| amenado | good evening Pelo | 00:09 |

| astro76 | broken_: what's the exact command you are trying? | 00:10 |
| Nagato | how would i make a script that does sudo ifdown wlan0 && sudo ifup wlan0 | 00:10 |
| Pelo | lucky you , care to share ? | 00:10 |
| Nagato | on startup | 00:10 |
| Nagato | for some reason my internet doesn't work unless it's recycled like that | 00:10 |
| Pelo | Nagato, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php | 00:10 |
| nickrud | shawn_selig29: yes | 00:10 |
| Nagato | Pelo, on startup | 00:11 |
| Nagato | writing the script isn't the problem | 00:11 |
| amenado | Nagato-> paste in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces file, | 00:11 |
| Bluey | i need to at least kno where the root directory is for the first step in martian | 00:11 |
| Pelo | Nagato, put a link to it in /home/username/.config/autostart | 00:11 |
| Pelo | Nagato, or add it to menu > system > prefs > sessions | 00:12 |
| Pelo | Bluey, the root dir is / | 00:12 |
| shawn_selig29 | ill bb when i get it installed, thxs, shawn | 00:13 |
| Bluey | Pelo: so for the first setp in martain i need to put in $ /make all? | 00:13 |
| Nagato | Pelo, alright, i'll try that. thanks | 00:13 |
| Pelo | Bluey, I don't know what marain is | 00:13 |
| Bluey | Pelo: martian. its for dial up modems... | 00:14 |
| Pelo | Bluey, is this someting you are compiling from source ? | 00:14 |
| theCarpenter | can anyone tell me how to change the editor that the 'edit' command calls? | 00:15 |
| Dr_willis | try exporting the EDITOR variable to be what you want? | 00:15 |
| bill_ | Does Compiz have an install specifically for Gutsy? | 00:15 |
| astro76 | theCarpenter: sudo update-alternatives --config editor | 00:15 |
| Bluey | Pelo: i am trying to connect with my modem useing Ubuntu. it doesnt let me connect at all with my modem. there were instructions on the Ubuntu site, and it said to use martian, so i dlownloaded it | 00:15 |
| pocketdrummer | Hey, does anyone know how to Password protect a folder? Kind of like you have to do when you open synaptic? | 00:16 |
| Pelo | bill_, compiz is already on gutsy, it's desktop effects in the appearance menu , under prefs, yuou can add other compix dialog from synaptic | 00:16 |
| Pelo | Bluey, did you check in the repos first ? | 00:16 |
| genii | theCarpenterChange the symlink in /etc/alternatives/editor to point to whatever editor you prefer | 00:17 |
| genii | theCarpenter: Change the symlink in /etc/alternatives/editor to point to whatever editor you prefer | 00:17 |
| Draicone | How can I get glade 3 in Ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| genii | Sorry for double posting, reason obvious :) | 00:17 |
| Pelo | !dialup | Bluey this didn't help ? | 00:17 |
| ubotu | Bluey this didn't help ?: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 00:17 |
| bill_ | Pelo I'm having trouble getting some features working. I guess I will deselect them all and try one at a time. | 00:17 |

| amenado | pocketdrummer-> hmm..i wonder if setacl would work, i have not tried it myself yet | 00:18 |
| Pelo | pocketdrummer, , your /home folder is specify to your username, other users on your computer don'T technicaly have access to it | 00:18 |
| Draicone | I tried compiling glade from source but now I don't know how to open it | 00:18 |
| theCarpenter | /etc/alternatives/editor yields 'nano' (which is what i want) but it still pops up vim when i try to 'edit <filename>' | 00:18 |
| Pelo | Draicone, type glade in the terminal | 00:18 |
| surrealdeal | ./glade | 00:19 |
| Schuenemann | hi, how do I install ruby 1.8.9 to ubuntu? | 00:19 |
| astro76 | theCarpenter: oh whoops, it's editor as I mentioned in the command I gave, edit is something else entirely | 00:19 |
| Bluey | iv already been to the how to. thats where i found martian. | 00:19 |
| === Veinor|away is now known as Veinor | ||
| Pelo | Schuenemann, check in synatpic , if that is not the version you want , check the ruby website, dl a .deb if they have it or complie from the source | 00:20 |
| Pelo | pocketdrummer, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel | 00:20 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| Schuenemann | Pelo, compiling from source is my worst nightmare | 00:20 |
| amenado | theCarpenter-> try set -o nano | 00:20 |
| Pelo | Schuenemann, compiling is easy, only 3 commands realy | 00:20 |
| pocketdrummer | Pelo, what if I just want to keep people who visit my how out of the folder? | 00:21 |
| Schuenemann | Pelo, that's very... optimistic :-) | 00:21 |
| lymeca | What should I do if I erased my MacBook's EFI boot partition and UBuntu won't load? | 00:21 |
| Pelo | pocketdrummer, just make a guest user for loging in | 00:21 |
| genii | theCarpenter: The symlink /usr/bin/editor then still points to vim | 00:21 |
| amenado | pocketdrummer-> did you consider what I suggested? | 00:21 |
| pocketdrummer | amendo: I'm not sure what it was, lol. I'm new at linux. | 00:22 |
| genii | theCarpenter: On my box for instance /usr/bin/editor points to /etc/alternatives/editor which in turn points to nono | 00:22 |
| Pelo | Schuenemann, compiling is just 3 commands, ./configure , make and make install, , that's excluding the dependencies you might have to install | 00:22 |
| genii | *nano | 00:22 |
| amenado | pocketdrummer-> its the same concept used in windows, access control list == acl | 00:22 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Ok so my usb audio sound seems to be working pretty nicely now... removed pulseaudio but now the sound is filled with static. | 00:22 |
| aetherfunk | Is there by chance a DJ, as in somebody who mixes, in here? | 00:22 |
| astro76 | pocketdrummer: I think access control lists are definitely way overkill, simple permission would be fine but you need a separate guest account as Pelo mentioned to make either way work | 00:23 |
| surrealdeal | no, but my aunt is a recording engineer. | 00:23 |
| * maximilion reports for ensign duty | 00:23 | |
| cfedde | thakyou for your service. | 00:23 |
| maximilion | Anyone in the mood for some mmusbaudio help? | 00:23 |
| * Pelo hands maximilion a shovel and points to a pile of sh... | 00:23 | |
| amenado | pocketdrummer-> now you know your choice.. :P | 00:23 |
| * maximilion has limits, he only shovels csh. | 00:23 | |
| Elevator_Hazard | I'm sure others have had this static problem - actually they have I see posts about it all the time but no good answer that works for me yet. | 00:24 |
| Schuenemann | Pelo, oh, wait. It seems there is version 1.8.6 with package name ruby1.8, not just ruby (which is 1.8.2) | 00:24 |
| === sn0w is now known as Woofcat | ||
| theCarpenter | hmm | 00:24 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Static/noise? on a usb sound card? | 00:24 |
| theCarpenter | edit <filename> gives nano, editor <filename> gives vim. | 00:24 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximillion: yup. | 00:24 |
| * Pelo is looking for installing somekind of printer driver that would output a raw hpgl to his pen plotter | 00:24 | |
| Alpha-Toxic | lol Pelo, long time no see :) | 00:25 |
| * aetherfunk wonders if there is a single DJ I could reach tonight, for instant chat. | 00:25 | |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Very strange. I would check that the outlet the pc is stuck into is grounded. | 00:25 |
| theCarpenter | Edit: edit <filename> gives nano, editor <filename> gives vim. but the symlink 'editor' gives nano | 00:25 |
| * Alpha-Toxic wonders if Pelo remembers him | 00:25 | |
| astro76 | theCarpenter: man edit, it's not what you are after | 00:25 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Hmm wait, is this on a laptop? | 00:25 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximillion: desktop. | 00:25 |
| Pelo | Schuenemann, 1.8.6 is probably more recent then 1.8.2, 1.8 is the version, the last digit is probably just some update for security or fixes | 00:26 |
| Pelo | Alpha-Toxic, what are you doing here ? | 00:26 |
| nonlocal | Hi. I am having a problem with nautilus not starting. Resultantly, no wallpaper, desktop icons, the 'Places' menu items don't work, etc. I have tried killing the nautilus process, and reinstalling the nautilus package, but so far no luck. Any suggestions would be great. (Gutsy Gibbon) | 00:26 |
| maximilion | OK. Never had a USB sound card that picked up interference | 00:26 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximillion: one thing you should know is that using alsa its liek this, but pulseaudio its fine. I'd use pulseaudio but most of the time sound won't work. | 00:26 |
| Woofcat | any know if its possible to install another debian based system over toop of an existing linux mint install | 00:26 |
| * Pelo introduces Alpha-Toxic to everyone , as the man who first help him compile | 00:26 | |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximillion: listening to KoRn isn't as good if there is static... | 00:26 |
| Schuenemann | Pelo, 186 is the latest | 00:27 |
| surrealdeal | usb cards somtimes suck like that | 00:27 |
| Extend | nonlocal : logoff and login to console then rm -rf *.gnome* | 00:27 |
| Alpha-Toxic | hah :) | 00:27 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Have you tried plugging in a 'dead' cable into any mic/line in jack? | 00:27 |
| Extend | then relogin and see | 00:27 |
| nonlocal | nautilus-debug-log.txt is full of 0x8177880 2008/02/08 19:23:04.6415 (USER): debug log dumped due to signal 7 | 00:27 |
| nonlocal | Extend: thanks I'll try that. | 00:27 |
| Extend | k:) | 00:27 |
| Woofcat | any know if its possible to install another debian based system over toop of an existing linux mint install | 00:27 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: doesn't seem like that has much to do with alsa though..? | 00:28 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: At least that helped (and / or using sound settings to disable mic from influencing mix out) on XP | 00:28 |
| sinsun | how to change root's passwd? | 00:28 |
| astro76 | !root | sinsun | 00:28 |
| ubotu | sinsun: 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 | 00:28 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Well, maybe pulseaudio does not read mic inputs at all? | 00:28 |
| Alpha-Toxic | Pelo: i was reinstalling my irc client and freenode is one of the first servers I add, so... i ended up here | 00:28 |
| nonlocal | Extend: er. ls shows: ls: *.gnome*: No such file or directory | 00:29 |
| Woofcat | any know if its possible to install another debian based system over toop of an existing linux mint install | 00:29 |
| maximilion | If Also works correctly and doesn't mute inputs, it might pick up interference | 00:29 |
| astro76 | !repeat | Woofcat | 00:29 |
| ubotu | Woofcat: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 00:29 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: hmm that mic thing could be the problem - I tried rubbing my finger on the mic just now with sound playing but it didn't make noise in my headset like it usually does.... | 00:29 |
| Pelo | Alpha-Toxic, well it is lovely to see you | 00:29 |
| astro76 | Woofcat: also everyone's probably wondering what your question has to do with ubuntu | 00:29 |
| maximilion | Alsa* | 00:29 |
| Woofcat | destination os | 00:29 |
| astro76 | Woofcat: you can install anything over anything, not sure what you are asking | 00:30 |
| UstasW | Hello | 00:30 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: that didn't work >. | 00:30 |
| Woofcat | how astro76 | 00:30 |
| Woofcat | with no cd's | 00:30 |
| maximilion | OK, now for my sound problem :) Installed mmusbaudio, lsusb lists my usb sound card, sound is perfect in desktop, Quake 3 says "sound not initialized". Help! :) | 00:30 |
| astro76 | !install | Woofcat | 00:30 |

| astro76 | Woofcat: oh so that's your real question | 00:30 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: I actually just saw something about sound and quake 3 game engines... | 00:30 |
| astro76 | Woofcat: no | 00:30 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Cool! url? | 00:30 |
| nonlocal | brb | 00:31 |
| astro76 | Woofcat: but there are ways without a cd, see the link ubotu gave youi | 00:31 |
| genii | Woofcat: If no cd then make a linux boot floppy, then use debootstrap from there. Lots of info on how to do it with debian | 00:31 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: I'm retracing my search steps... | 00:31 |
| Woofcat | genii: no devices outside of hdd and internets | 00:32 |

| Woofcat | maybe usb but i have been un able to get it to boot | 00:32 |
| maximilion | ah, ok. Thanks! Will check it out | 00:32 |
| pab_ | Could someone tell me where the config file for vino-server is? Client only sees 1/4 of the display (hate scroll bars!). | 00:32 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: pretty sure it was the one I gave you, looks like that's what you need anyway. | 00:32 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Did you plug into the line in also? | 00:32 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: ? | 00:33 |
| genii | Woofcat: How did you get ubuntu on it originally then? Or is it some eMachine or so | 00:33 |
| UstasW | secret | 00:33 |
| astro76 | pab_: you probably need to use gconf-editor | 00:33 |
| Woofcat | genii: removing harddrive | 00:33 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: I have some big speakers... I should test those puppies I suppose. | 00:33 |
| Woofcat | and placing into seperte computer | 00:33 |
| pab_ | I'll take a look astro76 | 00:34 |
| genii | Woofcat: The other computer. Does it also run linux? | 00:34 |
| Woofcat | no | 00:34 |
| * Woofcat mutters about there being no way to make it boot onto even like a gentoo min install | 00:35 | |
| Woofcat | can i make a seperate partition | 00:35 |
| Woofcat | and some how dump an install disc to it | 00:35 |
| maximilion | Elevator_Hazard: Thanks, worked the same with and without esd, but I will try software if it works... | 00:35 |
| Woofcat | then boot that? | 00:35 |
| genii | Woofcat: Depends how much room you have | 00:35 |
| Lr5_ | Is there any way to block commands like "sudo shutdown -h now"? | 00:35 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: gah I can't seem to find my speakers... | 00:35 |
| Lr5_ | I tend to use them on wrong computers | 00:35 |
| Elevator_Hazard | maximilion: through alsa that is... | 00:36 |
| alexkreuz_ | does anyone know how to disable xchat from starting automatically when x starts? | 00:36 |

| Elevator_Hazard | me? | 00:39 |
| surrealdeal | it's probably muted at startup | 00:39 |
| genii | Woofcat: Then make another partition for debian (or resize the current one smaller and then use free space for new one). Boot to ubuntu. format the new partiton ext3. do chroot/debbootstrap method to new partition and put debian on it. | 00:39 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Well I'm looking in what I think is the gnome equivelant. | 00:39 |
| Elevator_Hazard | The problem though is not wiht speakers its with my headset and static. | 00:40 |

| Woofcat | via network? | 00:42 |
| pjk | publishing to /var/www directory - no access to it - not sure what poerms. should be on that directory to publish, or is it a group problem. | 00:42 |

| genii | gold fish are human food? | 00:46 |

| Elevator_Hazard | Cat food is very salty I found out while having problems with static on my usb headset. | 00:47 |
| Elevator_Hazard | in ubuntu of course. | 00:47 |

| genii | pjk: What is it thats owned by root:root ? | 00:47 |
| astro76 | pab_: it's gnome's vnc server and just designed to display the logged in desktop as is | 00:48 |

| monte | can some one tell me were to get frostwire | 00:56 |
| astro76 | monte: ubotu gave you the link... try to catch it this time ;) | 00:57 |
| Elevator_Hazard | I was thinking it could be from using a usb splitter (I'd imagine the splitter is very busy as it has external harddrive plugged into it which is actually running ubuntu) but no because pulseaudio works... | 00:57 |

| maximilion | ie. link 'quake3' to the quake3 files in the quake3 directory, so I can use esddsp? | 01:04 |

| jetscreamer | maximilion: ln -sn /usr/local/games/quake3/quake3-smp quake3 | 01:04 |
| jetscreamer | or whichever | 01:05 |

| maximilion | (quake3 in the ........quake3 folder is the 'executable' ... lots of quake3s :)) | 01:26 |

| maximilion | heh, no it isn't :P | 01:27 |
| maximilion | I'll move it for now. | 01:27 |
| astro76 | maximilion: hmm it should be if it exists when you login | 01:27 |
| astro76 | maximilion: assuming you haven't removed that section from your ~/.profile | 01:27 |
| Pici | astro76: Is it there by default nowadays? | 01:28 |
| astro76 | Pici: yep it's in /etc/skel/.profile , checks if ~/bin exists and adds to path if so | 01:28 |
| ick5555 | how do i change the ubuntu live user so that any program can't just get root access? | 01:28 |
| maximilion | nah, vim says it's there (at least it's in the profile as text), $PATH says no. I moved the symlink to /usr/games anyway and it worked :) | 01:29 |
| _Oz_ | from a methodology standpoint, I have a question. I have winetricks. I am creating a launch for "sh winetricks". I want to store winetricks somewhere other than the desktop. What is the most logical place to put it? Should I just create a folder like "apps" and put it there? | 01:30 |
| astro76 | maximilion: if you've created a .bash_profile, .profile won't be read, that's the only other thing I can think of | 01:30 |
| maximilion | right, well ~/bin didn't exist before anyway, so won't mess with it now | 01:31 |
| astro76 | maximilion: also another good choice that's already in your path is /usr/local/bin | 01:31 |

| ubotu | surrealdeal: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 01:38 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell surrealdeal about offtopic | 01:38 |

| keithclark | _Oz_ I just want two Linux machines to talk to each other and it is really confusing and complicated. | 01:39 |
| LockesRabb | whenever i move my mouse to the top right corner, it zooms out to show my four workspaces, how do i disable it? someone please help :( | 01:39 |
| surrealdeal | i want to port ubuntu apps to another os, is that off topic? | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 01:39 |
| surrealdeal | srsly? | 01:39 |
| astro76 | this is ubuntu support, not linux development | 01:39 |
| garrettkajmowicz | I'm running 6.10 and when I play midi files with pmidi the system completely locks up on me (numlock stops working). I have a soundblaster Live! sound card. Any idea why this is happening? | 01:39 |
| LjL | surrealdeal: pretty much. this is an ubuntu support channel. also, there is no such thing as an "ubuntu app" mostly, some are linux apps, most are posix-portable ones. | 01:40 |
| danbhfive | surrealdeal: you should go to the chatroom for the os you are porting to | 01:40 |
| surrealdeal | well, ok... | 01:40 |
| _Oz_ | keithclark: I knew nothing about ubuntu 3 days ago. I am now running ubuntu on a windows network (four other XP computers) sharing files with no problems. | 01:40 |
| nickrud | surrealdeal: this channel is narrowly aimed at support, #ubuntu-offtopic might have some interested people | 01:40 |
| _Oz_ | It took about the same amount of time as setting up a windows network. | 01:40 |
| LockesRabb | someone help me >.< | 01:40 |
| nickrud | !ask | LockesRabb | 01:40 |
| ubotu | LockesRabb: 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. :-) | 01:41 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ You are smarter than I. I am just a simple user.......... | 01:41 |
| _Oz_ | keith: I'm an idiot, trust me. | 01:41 |
| === reconnect is now known as recon | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | LockesRabb: See compiz it is a feature.. not a bug | 01:41 |
| badkitty | haha | 01:41 |
| _Oz_ | I'm no programmer, I'm not a linuxhead, etc. I just wanted an alternative to vista. | 01:41 |
| LockesRabb | okay, going to compiz channel then | 01:41 |
| macropod | I got bad superblock boot error | 01:41 |
| _Oz_ | you want me to show you how to get your ubuntu computer talking to your windows network? | 01:41 |
| macropod | =( | 01:41 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I have no issues with an alternative to Vista. I would not go there, but I thought as an alternative to XP......but it just doesn't seem to fit the bill at least for me. I've tried but it is like hitting my head against the wall. | 01:42 |
| astro76 | LjL: looking at ##linux logs, surrealdeal more than knows that, he was trolling | 01:42 |
| LjL | astro76: i was pretty sure. he left without blood been shed though, so *shrug* | 01:42 |
| LockesRabb | there's nobody in the compiz channel | 01:43 |
| nickrud | LockesRabb: #compiz-fusion ? | 01:43 |
| LjL | LockesRabb: only 168 people | 01:43 |
| trait | n8 | 01:43 |
| macropod | anyone who has experience in Ubuntu boot errors.. due to bad disk ? | 01:43 |
| badkitty | macropod: Not I but if you have a bad disk... shouldn't you burn a new one? Or do you mean bad hard disk? | 01:44 |
| Owner_ | Hello. Is it possible to use the standard desktop install cd to initiate a text based install | 01:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LockesRabb: do you have ccsm installed? | 01:44 |
| Ananth | Any one know spamassassin? | 01:44 |
| _Oz_ | keith: I expected ubuntu to feel like hitting my head against the wall but it has not been that way at all. I have M$ Office and Excel running more or less natively. I have Photoshop CS2 running now as of today. Everything has been very simple, the networking has been simple. No crashes, no security vulnerabilities. I just had to reinstall the XP computer from scratch because of a nasty virus I couldn't beat. | 01:44 |
| macropod | I mean harddisk unfortunely =( | 01:44 |
| _Oz_ | And I have to emphasize, I'm truly a linux idiot. But you don't need to know hardly anything at all to use ubuntu, very much just like you would windows. | 01:44 |
| badkitty | macropod: Ok so what are you trying to do? Get a good clean install? Fix the disk? Recovery???? | 01:44 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I love everything about Ubuntu and Linux except networking....it just does not work. At least for me. | 01:45 |
| _Oz_ | what about networking doesn't work for you? | 01:45 |
| macropod | The disk is pretty new and computer worked fine yesterday... now when turning bad sectors | 01:45 |
| _Oz_ | is it wireless? | 01:45 |
| astro76 | keithclark: what is your actual problem? | 01:45 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ Everything..... | 01:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | keithclark: Please stop with the comments | 01:45 |
| _Oz_ | can you get online with it? | 01:45 |
| Owner_ | Hello. Is it possible to use the standard desktop install cd to initiate a text based install | 01:45 |
| _Oz_ | jack sparrow, I'm trying to help him if that's ok. | 01:45 |
| LjL | Owner_: no, you need the alternate cd | 01:46 |
| badkitty | Thats captain jack sparrow Oz | 01:46 |
| badkitty | ;-p | 01:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | keithclark: Obviously you dont like it, and more importantly, you dont intend to try and make it work | 01:46 |
| macropod | fsck gives me: attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while reading block 516 | 01:46 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I thought I was being positive....everything works and I love but networking... | 01:46 |
| _Oz_ | sorry, badkitty, you're right... captain jack sparrow. | 01:46 |
| ick5555 | how do i change which user is booted when mastering a livecd? | 01:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Please feel free. But has made no effort to go in that direction | 01:47 |
| badkitty | HAHA! sweet! | 01:47 |
| _Oz_ | keith, let's try to help you by asking you a specific question and you give a specific answer. ok with you? | 01:47 |
| drpcken | is there an app that will let me remote into my tightVNC server on my XP box? | 01:47 |
| === Owner_ is now known as sp219 | ||
| keithclark | _Oz_ go nuts.... | 01:47 |
| _Oz_ | ok. question one: can you get online (internet) with your ubuntu install? | 01:48 |
| sp219 | drpcken, xvncviewer | 01:48 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I'm talking to you! The problem is local. Within the LAN. | 01:48 |
| drpcken | sp219, thanks! | 01:48 |
| sp219 | no problemo | 01:48 |
| astro76 | keithclark: please answer his question, it has a point | 01:48 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I cannot see other machines or share resources | 01:48 |
| * _Oz_ sighs | 01:49 | |
| LjL | keithclark: you could be connecting from another computer, it's a reasonable question to ask. | 01:49 |
| _Oz_ | you're a really hard guy to help. | 01:49 |
| bazhang | keithclark: networking is fine with ubuntu and linux--that you are having problems means they need to be worked out | 01:49 |
| _Oz_ | let's try this again. | 01:49 |
| _Oz_ | question one: can you get online (internet) with your ubuntu install? | 01:49 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ Sorry, typing and meaning are two different things | 01:49 |
| badkitty | Atleast you dont have tourrettes of the hands | 01:49 |
| _Oz_ | all I need is either "yes" or "no" | 01:50 |
| badkitty | sorry wrong window | 01:50 |
| keithclark | Yes | 01:50 |
| _Oz_ | ok. good! we're halfway there. | 01:50 |
| keithclark | hahaha | 01:50 |
| gw0gvq_ | I have a dual boot PC windows and ubuntu but I cant get the menu up to edit it | 01:50 |
| keithclark | humour back | 01:50 |
| _Oz_ | next question: can you "see" any other computers FROM your ubuntu computer? | 01:50 |
| keithclark | yes | 01:51 |
| badkitty | gw0gvq_: Do you mean GRUB? | 01:51 |
| nickrud | gw0gvq_: hit escape when you see something about grub during the boot | 01:51 |
| gw0gvq_ | yes | 01:51 |
| gw0gvq_ | sorry | 01:51 |
| _Oz_ | very good. | 01:51 |
| _Oz_ | We are 3/4 of the way there now. | 01:51 |
| maximilion | Hi again :) | 01:51 |
| gw0gvq_ | ok ty | 01:51 |
| _Oz_ | question 3: are you running ubuntu 7.10? | 01:51 |
| LjL | #ubuntu, the channel with a completion bar | 01:51 |
| keithclark | Where? | 01:52 |
| astro76 | haha | 01:52 |
| _Oz_ | where? | 01:52 |
| _Oz_ | on your computer. | 01:52 |
| badkitty | On his foot | 01:52 |
| _Oz_ | are you running v. 7.10 of ubuntu. | 01:52 |
| keithclark | Yes | 01:52 |
| _Oz_ | ok. | 01:52 |
| maximilion | Seems the quake 3 sound problem is that alsa expects a /dev/dsp, which is there, but is an "x-char", not a folder. | 01:52 |
| keithclark | PCLinuxOS on the Printer machine | 01:52 |
| _Oz_ | go to your desktop and create a folder called "Ubuntu Shared". You do this by right-clicking anywhere in the background and choosing "New Folder" | 01:52 |
| keithclark | My foot runs Vista | 01:53 |
| _Oz_ | report back, keithclark, when you have done this. | 01:53 |
| maximilion | Googling suggests that doing "aoss quake something" might fake it. Do I dare get-apt aoss? | 01:53 |
| badkitty | Oh you must be triplebooting then kieth | 01:53 |
| keithclark | Yes Sir/Mam | 01:53 |
| astro76 | maximilion: it won't hurt | 01:53 |
| webito | hi! installing ubuntu.. i sill want to have my windows.... how do I must prepare my partitions? | 01:53 |
| ak5_ | hello, how can I change my resolution on a live cd? | 01:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Nice to see you were paying attention earlier... | 01:53 |
| astro76 | maximilion: it's a alsa oss compatability thingy, won't do anything unless you run it | 01:53 |
| webito | type ext3 mount point / should I select logical or primary for ubuntu? | 01:54 |
| Ananth | Hello, I need some help on spamassassin, | 01:54 |
| maximilion | astro76:, okay, I will try :) I got ioquake3, but I'd like to get into this :) | 01:54 |
| ipx | maximilion: Ive gotten problem with quake3 sounds, it seems like my two sound devices swap names (/dev/dps & /dev/dps1) so I have to change the "snddevice" variable in quake3 console to the other one when they swap | 01:54 |
| badkitty | webito: doesn't matter | 01:54 |
| ipx | maximilion: are you having a similiar problem? | 01:54 |
| badkitty | webito: If you have a primary great | 01:54 |
| webito | badkitty which is better? | 01:54 |
| badkitty | webito: Probabaly primary | 01:54 |
| keithclark | Ok, done. | 01:54 |
| _Oz_ | very good. | 01:54 |
| maximilion | ipx: I am yet to hear any sound at all :) | 01:54 |
| _Oz_ | ok, here's the next step, keithclark. | 01:54 |
| webito | if I select primary it will affect my windows partition? | 01:54 |
| keithclark | And All.......I'm not that bad of a guy. | 01:55 |
| LjL | webito: with primaries only, you can have at most 4 partitions. with logicals, you can have more. however unless you have a compelling reason to think you'll end up with more than 4 partitions, just go with primaries. | 01:55 |
| garrettkajmowicz | I'm running 6.10 and when I play midi files with pmidi the system completely locks up on me (numlock stops working). I have a soundblaster Live! sound card. How do I stop my sytem from locking uip? | 01:55 |
| _Oz_ | Right-click on the Ubuntu Shared folder, and select Share Folder | 01:55 |
| _Oz_ | 01:55 | |
| _Oz_ | Ubuntu will ask for your login password | 01:55 |
| _Oz_ | 01:55 | |
| _Oz_ | After a short delay, a dialog saying' Sharing Services are not installed' will appear | 01:55 |
| badkitty | webito: Once you make the partition insert y our liveCD boot to it and install it to that directory. Ubuntu will set up the boot menu for you | 01:55 |
| FloodBot3 | _Oz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:55 |
| ipx | maximilion: shut down all your firefox-windows, all your movies/music thats playing | 01:55 |
| _Oz_ | sorry, floodbot3 -- it's for the greater good in this case. | 01:55 |
| ipx | maximilion: I have to shut down firefox and amarok to be able to get sound | 01:55 |
| TallHunkDan | i need help | 01:55 |
| _Oz_ | keithclark: report back when you see that dialog box | 01:55 |
| badkitty | webito: and whamo - dualboot xp and ubuntu | 01:55 |
| maximilion | astro76: ldconfig deferred proc... do I need to wait for some kind of confirmation? :P | 01:55 |
| maximilion | ipx: Nothing is playing. | 01:56 |
| TallHunkDan | i installed miro and this is the error message - the offending font is Tahoma9 | 01:56 |
| TallHunkDan | how can i replace the default font for miro | 01:56 |
| ipx | maximilion: no music-player running? even if stopped.. | 01:56 |
| badkitty | webito: The thing I forget off hand is if you have to create the swap partition before or if ubuntu will make one for you.. probably both are fine | 01:56 |
| maximilion | fresh startx :) | 01:56 |
| highvolt | Is there a way to non-destructively make a logical partition primary? | 01:56 |
| webito | badkitty 2 gb is enough for swap? | 01:56 |

| webito | should i put less swap? | 01:57 |
| badkitty | webito: How much ram do you have | 01:57 |
| maximilion | webito: I have 1GB, it's fine | 01:57 |
| ihatewhitewomen | which torrent prgram in linux download the fastest? like scam bandwidth etc? :d thank you | 01:57 |
| yao_ziyuan | i suggest that ubuntu uses Nimbus as the default theme | 01:57 |
| ipx | maximilion: have you made sure the variable snddevice in q3-console is correct? | 01:57 |
| webito | I have 2 gb of ram | 01:57 |
| _Oz_ | keithclark: hold that thought... have to attend to something... be right back. | 01:57 |
| maximilion | Be right back. | 01:57 |
| webito | with swap 1gb should it be enough? | 01:57 |
| astro76 | webito: 1gb would be more than enough unless you want to hibernate | 01:57 |
| LjL | webito: if you ever intend to use hibernation, make it >2gb | 01:58 |
| astro76 | highvolt: no you'll have to copy it | 01:58 |
| badkitty | webito: Yeah i think the swap is supposed to be half your physical ram? | 01:58 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ holding.............. | 01:58 |
| LjL | badkitty: is that a new magic number? | 01:58 |
| ak5_ | webito: they say 2x the amount of ram if it is a laptop, otherwise if you are going to run a lot of memory hogging programs 2gb is enough, with normal usage 1gb | 01:58 |
| yao_ziyuan | http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Nimbus+(+Ubuntu+7.10+packages+)?content=70212 | 01:58 |
| badkitty | LjL I dunno thats what I remember reading somewhere | 01:58 |
| yao_ziyuan | this is Nimbus for Ubuntu 7.10 | 01:58 |
| josspyker | webito: LJL his comment is correct | 01:59 |
| badkitty | webito: ANyway I am using 1 Gig and its fine | 01:59 |
| LjL | badkitty, ak5_: those magic numbers mostly make no sense. with today's amount of memory, what really matters is the ability to hibernate (AND to have some swap available, swap is not useless at all, just making it as big as the RAM itself will normally be more than fine) | 01:59 |
| badkitty | LjL: I certainly see your point | 02:00 |

| keithclark | Jack_Sparrow, sorry to have offended. Maybe I will find help later...thanks | 02:08 |
| josspyker | gw0gvq: edit grub | 02:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gw0gvq: you can edit the default in grub | 02:08 |
| kingnothing | pelo: ok, i'll give that a shot. doesn't totem use xine for the backend? | 02:09 |

| sparky | What program can I use to convert files from AVI to WMV? | 02:09 |

| keithclark | jack_sparrow, my apology still stands | 02:09 |
| Pelo | kingnothing, by default totem uses gstreamer as a backend, but you can make it use xine if you wish, the package name is totem-xine, but it will remove the gstreamer support | 02:09 |
| sparky | kingnothing, the Xbox 360 only recognizes WMVs :/ | 02:09 |

| Pelo | MagoonD, /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:14 |
| gw0gvq | but i cant put it in because i cant seem to get grub up to edit it | 02:14 |
| MagoonD | ok should i back it up before I modify it? | 02:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gw0gvq: Ok,, got it.. you cant catch grub by hitting escape after the memtest... try a couple more times | 02:15 |
| Pelo | gw0gvq, grub menu.lst is a admin permission file, edit it by typing gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst in the terminal | 02:15 |
| Pelo | MagoonD, always a good idea | 02:15 |
| maximilion | astro76: Hmm, here's something... aplay -l lists my USB sound card fine, but "alsamixer" yields "no mixer elems found!" | 02:15 |
| keithclark | Jack_Sparrow, it is only 9:00 pm in my time zone. I can wait if convenient to you. | 02:15 |

| sparky | So does anyone know of an AVI to WMV converter? | 02:16 |
| Pelo | Jack_Sparrow, I would assumed as much :-) | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | why would you want to convert from avi to wmv? | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | !info avidmux | 02:17 |
| ubotu | Package avidmux does not exist in gutsy | 02:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pelo: Think you can help keithclark setup file sharing on home network? | 02:17 |
| Pelo | sparky, I think avidemux might let you do that | 02:17 |
| joshritger | why does adobe flash player use almost 100 cpu usage. It is a video from online? | 02:17 |
| sparky | Well, the Xbox 360 only recognizes WMVs :/ | 02:17 |
| joshritger | It is adobe flash player 9 | 02:18 |
| Pelo | Jack_Sparrow, I "know" I can't help him set up file sharieng on a home network | 02:18 |
| kjoz | anyone here have some experience with running parallels ? (XP as guest OS) running under Ubuntu (Host) | 02:18 |
| sparky | I have Gutsy, and evidently avidemux doesn't work on Gutsy :/ | 02:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | k | 02:18 |
| Pelo | joshritger, it does so on certain site, don't know why , you are not the only one | 02:18 |
| sparky | kjoz, install VMware Player | 02:18 |
| Pelo | joshritger, actualy it's not so much flash but firevox.,bin if you check the processes | 02:18 |
| kjoz | VMware Player a lot better ? | 02:19 |
| joshritger | Pelo: it is from hulu.com, a beta site for watching tv shows. | 02:19 |
| TallHunkDan | help on miro | 02:19 |
| keithclark | Jack_Sparrow, you are a very kind person but if I could offer on kind piece of advice....and maybe not justly....have a little tolerance for us frustrated new guys. I know I was a tough one.......I understand that. I hope this comes off as a good thing. | 02:19 |
| kjoz | Parallels is horrible, trying to get wireless working on it | 02:19 |
| joshritger | Pelo: any better way to watch these videos? | 02:19 |
| Pelo | kjoz, you might want to look for a parallel channel, it's the newest player | 02:19 |

| reportingsjr | With good graphics, want to test my system :) | 02:19 |
| joshritger | Pelo: I have to sign in before I can watch them, would a diff browser be better? Any suggestions? | 02:20 |
| sparky | kjoz, works just fine, though as anything else, it's a bit laggy. You'll have to either create or download the guest OS, but that's the only challenge | 02:20 |
| Pelo | !games > reportingsjr | 02:20 |

| LjL | gbood? | 02:20 |
| keithclark | Jack_Sparrow.....it worked. | 02:20 |

| Pelo | LjL, no , I just lke playing with ppl's nerves | 02:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | keithclark: Glad to hear it.. It was frustrating for me when I started too. | 02:22 |
| LjL | reportingsjr, fire up your favorite tag-supporting package manager and look for things that are tagged "game" and "3g" | 02:22 |
| LjL | ... 3d even | 02:23 |
| dcesiel_ | Hey could someone help me get my intel 3945 working? It's been working and it stopped after a few recent kernel upgrades | 02:23 |

| Jack_Sparrow | keithclark: Hope to see you back soon and get you fixed up.. I gotta go, I am getting that LOOK.. from the wife | 02:23 |
| keithclark | Jack_Sparrow.....Yup, I believe it. You are ingrained with only one way to do things. Change is difficult to say the least. | 02:23 |
| LjL | Pelo: one pretty expensive beers... but the thing with typos is that once you start you can't stop | 02:23 |
| Pelo | dcesiel_, the quickest solution is for you to boot the previous kernel | 02:23 |
| keithclark | Jack_Sparrow, go eat! | 02:23 |
| Pelo | LjL, yeah, just like peanuts | 02:24 |
| dcesiel_ | Pelo: I would just like to get this working | 02:24 |

| sparky | Is there another program that can convert to WMV? Because I don't think I can run avidmux under gutsy | 02:25 |
| mouseboyx | ffmpeg | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | i run avidmux under gutsy all the time | 02:25 |
| alanbshepard70 | ubuntu stopped mounting my ipod when I plug it in. The ipod gets recognized by the system but never mounts like it did when I installed ubuntu. I made no system changes between working and not working. | 02:25 |
| danbhfive | sparky: I just tried avidmux under gutsy, its fine | 02:26 |
| swj | Thanks! good thing | 02:26 |
| sparky | Hmm ok. | 02:26 |
| mouseboyx | mencoder | 02:26 |
| swj | I did'nt remember the whole password | 02:26 |
| sparky | I suppose trying couldn't hurt | 02:26 |
| swj | lol | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | whats so special about wmv? as far as i know wmv is just a conatiner. for whatever codev the video is. | 02:26 |
| sparky | Oh, and thank you mouseboyx | 02:26 |
| Dr_willis | of course that goes for a lot of the extensions. :) | 02:26 |
| swj | shows how much I use IRC | 02:26 |
| swj | sparky thanks for the quick command to change password | 02:27 |
| alanbshepard70 | How can I fix this issue? I tried a few tips found on google and in the forums but none worked. They mainly involved fstab. I can mount the ipod using fstab but It's mounted with root permissions and I can't use it that way. Also I have to do it manually each time. | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | alanbshepard70, withthe proper fstab entry/options the user can mount/unmount the device. | 02:28 |
| Pelo | alanbshepard70, you need to set the proper permission in fstab then , paste the relevant fstab line here so we can have a look | 02:28 |
| alanbshepard70 | ok | 02:28 |
| _Oz_ | keithclark still around? | 02:28 |
| Pelo | alanbshepard70, jsut the one line , not the whole thing | 02:29 |
| maximilion | alsamixer: no mixer elems found. Thread recommends I install alsa stuff. Should I "purge" old stuff first, and how? | 02:29 |
| maximilion | Hi Dr_willis | 02:29 |
| maximilion | :) | 02:29 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ you bet | 02:29 |
| alanbshepard70 | /dev/sdc2 /media/ipod auto auto,users,umask=0000 0 0 | 02:29 |
| _Oz_ | keith, ok | 02:29 |
| _Oz_ | are you still at that dialog box? | 02:29 |
| _Oz_ | I had a sick baby that needed my attention, I'm sorry I left you hanging. | 02:29 |
| keithclark | you bet | 02:29 |
| _Oz_ | please be patient, we're all volunteers in here. | 02:29 |
| Pelo | alanbshepard70, the last 0 should be a 1 I beleive | 02:30 |
| shawn_selig29 | hi guys | 02:30 |
| _Oz_ | ok, keith, at the dialog box | 02:30 |
| _Oz_ | Leave both the Unix & Windows network support options ticked, and click Install Services | 02:30 |
| === metelliu1 is now known as metellius | ||
| shawn_selig29 | i need somebody to help me walk thorught the ubuntu alternate cd text mode install | 02:30 |
| alanbshepard70 | Pelo: ok thanks I'll try it. Do I need to log off and reboot for settings to take effect or can I test it right away? | 02:30 |
| _Oz_ | keith: samba will now be downloaded and installed | 02:30 |
| _Oz_ | wait for the installation to complete and you'll get a "changes applied" message | 02:31 |
| Pelo | alanbshepard70, there is a command to reload fstab for the changes to be taken into acount but I can never remember it | 02:31 |
| maximilion | Is "sudo apt-get purge install <package"s> correct? | 02:31 |
| josspyker | --purge | 02:31 |
| maximilion | (Well, apart from the misplaced " | 02:31 |
| Pelo | maximilion, sudo apt-get remove packagename --purge | 02:31 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I have two choices....SMB or NFS | 02:31 |
| alanbshepard70 | Pelo: Ok I google that command. If this works how can I get ubuntu to auto mount the ipod whenever I plug it in so I don't have to manually do it? | 02:31 |
| _Oz_ | choose SMB | 02:32 |
| maximilion | Pelo: But can't you install at the same time? "Replace completely?" | 02:32 |
| _Oz_ | WAIT | 02:32 |
| keithclark | waiting | 02:32 |
| _Oz_ | are you still at that dialog box? leave both of them ticked | 02:32 |
| _Oz_ | BOTH | 02:32 |
| _Oz_ | smb and NFS | 02:32 |
| Pelo | alanbshepard70, I'm not sure, I was just correcting the permission bit on that line, if it mounted before for root it will now mount for the current users | 02:32 |
| alanbshepard70 | Pelo: Ok. | 02:33 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ I cannot share both....I have a choice | 02:33 |
| Pelo | maximilion, --purge is to completely remove the settings and other things associated with the pacakge, so instaling with a purge seems a bit odd to me | 02:33 |
| _Oz_ | oh | 02:33 |
| _Oz_ | sorry | 02:33 |
| _Oz_ | you're one step further than I thought you were | 02:33 |
| keithclark | no problem | 02:33 |
| maximilion | Pelo: Just want to "reinstall" alsa stuff | 02:33 |
| _Oz_ | yes, choose SMB | 02:33 |
| oboy03 | hi | 02:33 |
| _Oz_ | now another dialog box pops up, keith | 02:34 |
| _Oz_ | called "share folder" | 02:34 |
| _Oz_ | do you see it? | 02:34 |
| maximilion | Pelo: Which is the proper way? Just sudo apt-get install alsa-blah as if it had never been installed before? | 02:34 |
| Pelo | maximilion, remove --purge first, then install again | 02:34 |
| feld | I installed Gutsy on a RAID1->Encrypted->LVM->LVMROOT/SWAP/HOME and it won't boot all the way through | 02:34 |
| oboy03 | i accidentaly made my resolution to something my monitor cant handle, now im in the live CD, how can i change my resolution | 02:34 |
| keithclark | _Oz_ yes | 02:34 |
| _Oz_ | remove the tick on the "read only" box | 02:34 |
| feld | What does the grub need to be so it will let me decrypt the LVM partition so it can finish booting? | 02:34 |
| _Oz_ | then hit "OK" | 02:34 |
| keithclark | I don't get that | 02:35 |
| Pelo | oboy03, mount the hdd, find /etc/X11/xorg.conf remove the offending resolution | 02:35 |

| andresj | strange thing: in Firefox, some sites it tells me "Additional plugins required." but when I click in Install, it tells me that Adobe Flash Player is already installed, so I can't play some games and some sites don't work as well... This just happened recently, maybe a week or two ago. | 02:36 |

| Pelo | oboy03, no take out the live cd and boot from the hard drive, you can select the recovery mode from the grub boot menu, if you don'T usualy get the boot menu on startup, type esc just after the bios stuff and taht will get you in the boot menu | 02:49 |

| maximilion | Pici: What is the "audio" group called in Ubuntu? | 03:28 |
| nrossin | nickrud: I can't get to that terminal, it's fully locked up. | 03:28 |
| zelrikriando | I need help with kino... | 03:28 |
| nickrud | nrossin: in the terminal you are in, I meant | 03:28 |
| nrossin | Johnny_5: I would do that, but would that cleanly unmount all my drives? | 03:28 |
| Pici | maximilion: audio | 03:28 |
| neopsyche | Pici: see above.. do you know what my needs are now ? | 03:28 |
| maximilion | Pici: I can find no such group. | 03:28 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: thanks for the help.. if you could .. can you compile kalva for gutsy? | 03:29 |
| Johnny_5 | nrossin: sorry that's all i got | 03:29 |
| nickrud | nrossin: I was assuming you were in another console, since you specified the tty7 | 03:29 |
| nrossin | nickrud: Okay, so that started gdm in tty3, but what happened to everything on tty7? | 03:29 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: let me take a quick look | 03:29 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: ok thanks | 03:30 |
| nickrud | nrossin: should be back in tty7, possibly 8. | 03:30 |
| nrossin | nickrud: Ah, nevermind... I didn't the intelligent thing and found out for myself :) | 03:30 |
| questionallthing | Q: How do I retrieve my root password? I don't remember setting it up in installation for 7.10 Client. | 03:30 |
| Pici | !root | questionallthing | 03:30 |
| ubotu | questionallthing: 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 | 03:30 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: http://hafizpariabi.blogspot.com/2007/12/install-kalva-in-kubuntu-gutsy.html | 03:30 |
| questionallthing | well i type sudo and i can do it nicely but i want to actually be a root user just so i can dig further | 03:31 |
| questionallthing | more for self exploration then anything | 03:31 |
| nrossin | Now, I never really use different consoles, but is there a benefit to running time consuming terminal commands in a separate console? | 03:31 |
| Johnny_5 | questionallthing: go to a terminal type: sudo passwd root | 03:31 |
| nickrud | questionallthing: sudo -i | 03:31 |
| Pici | !noroot | Johnny_5 | 03:31 |
| ubotu | Johnny_5: 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 ;-) | 03:31 |
| questionallthing | oh ok :) | 03:31 |
| maximilion | Pici: My problem really is that sound card is recognized, sound works, but alsamixer says "no mixer elems found", so I have NO volume control. | 03:31 |

| bazhang | neopsyche: I saw that but it is for kubuntu--I am guessing you are using ubuntu and not the kde variant | 03:32 |
| Pici | maximilion: I'm not an expert on sound issues... so.. | 03:32 |
| Pici | !sound > maximilion (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 03:32 |

| neopsyche | bazhang: i have kde installed as second session | 03:32 |
| Johnny_5 | ader10: how old is ur comp? | 03:32 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: surely if it can be compilied for kubuntu it could be compiled for ubuntu? | 03:33 |

| oreomike | anyone know why 'cancel' in the 'do you want to run in low graphics mode' dumps you to a logged in root prompt? | 03:54 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, the mythubuntu package makes it very easy to get going. :) | 03:54 |
| nickrud | bosanac: will you listen for one moment: the scrollback buffer, what you see when you scroll back to the stuff that runs off the terminal to the top, only exists for that one terminal. You close the terminal, it's gone. | 03:54 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: i installed myth tv and i dont know what the *#$)(*)#(* (insert preferred swear word here) is going on | 03:54 |

| neopsyche | bazhang: thanks | 03:55 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: ok | 03:55 |
| lnknpk04 | on that screen. Let me check | 03:56 |

| oreomike | 'cannot determine monitor type, run in low graphics?' | 03:58 |
| chad | bazhang: why do i need that? i can already access app switcher via alt-tab .. | 03:58 |

| Dr_willis | neopsyche, i am RTFMing right now. :) | 04:01 |
| nickrud | chad: can't remember exactly which combo it was, super shift tab, super alt tab , super tab, one of those rotated all windows from all desktops | 04:01 |
| neopsyche | lol ok ;-) | 04:01 |
| bazhang | dookdook: open a terminal and type alsamixer | 04:01 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: ok ;-) lol | 04:01 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, looks like it has a few odd depenecies.. thats about it.. i dont even have a tv tuner card installed any more on my mythtv box | 04:01 |
| dookdook | bazhang, and? | 04:01 |
| seacat | dookdook, Check for sound card modules; lsmod |grep snd | 04:01 |
| lxuser | #join | 04:01 |
| lnknpk04 | I think my grub got screwed up. I restarted my pc and now instead of booting it just sits at a black screen with a cursor. How do I restore grub so everything boots? | 04:01 |
| chad | nickrud: hmm that goes into shift switcher .. which seemingly does the same thing, albeit in sort of a wild fashion | 04:02 |
| lnknpk04 | ctrl-alt-f2 doesn't do anything | 04:02 |
| bazhang | heh | 04:02 |
| chad | nickrud: but at least this will save me the mouse .. tnx | 04:02 |
| dookdook | seacat, what am i looking for? | 04:02 |
| seacat | lnknpk04, Boot livecd | 04:02 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: the main problem it says my dependency on specific kde thingy is wrong. | 04:02 |
| Dougla1 | Lxuser | 04:02 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: downloaded the .deb | 04:02 |
| * nickrud forgot just how ugly ati aiglx was | 04:02 | |
| lnknpk04 | seacat, i figured that would work, but once i'm in there i wasn't sure how to restore grub to its good working self | 04:03 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: upon installation it says it needs kdelibs4c2 | 04:03 |
| lnknpk04 | seacat, at least i'm assuming grub is the issue in the problem | 04:03 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: but i only have kdelibs4c2a and kdelibs4c2 is no longer in repos.. etc. | 04:03 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, that deb is for an OLD OLD release of ubuntu | 04:03 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: what to do? | 04:03 |
| seacat | dookdook, lspci |grep audio | 04:03 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, use the source. recompile | 04:03 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: can you help me make new deb? | 04:03 |
| chad | nickrud: ahh, ctrl-alt + tab | 04:03 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: can you help me recompile? | 04:03 |
| Dr_willis | i just got the source and am compiling it now. :) | 04:03 |
| seacat | lnknpk04, May be a hardware issue | 04:04 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: cool! | 04:04 |
| friedtofu | is there much of a difference in 1.67 Ghz core 2 duo vs 2.0 Ghz core 2 duo? | 04:04 |
| seacat | lnknpk04, Try a boot disk. | 04:04 |
| dookdook | seacat, lspci | grep audio returns nothing | 04:04 |
| lnknpk04 | seacat, it happened right after an update wanted me to restart so i was thinking it was software, will try live cd real quick | 04:04 |
| mjw- | friedtofu about 330MHz.... :) | 04:04 |
| bazhang | friedtofu: not that much to make a difference | 04:04 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, for a start i had to do a sudo apt-get install kde-devel qt3-dev-tools qt3-apps-dev | 04:04 |

| pppoe_dude | anyone know why my wacom tablet stops working properly if i unplug/replug until i restart X? | 04:05 |
| bluefoxx | so im wondering, is there any reason linux would work perfectly with one LAN card, and yet refuse to use another of the exact same model, or my onboard LAN? cause thats my situatiuon right now, i have about 7 extra LAN cards, all 3com but one, and the one on my pc is a 3com 3c905tx, works fine on my comp but i have a second that i know works, and yet ubuntu refused to utilize it, even though its the same model, i tried all of them | 04:05 |
| bluefoxx | on a second comp and they all work, but they dont work on this comp in ubuntu[pupyp used them all fine]. why might this be? | 04:05 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: sounds way advanced.. im a windows refugee.. so it has been challenging.. with this whole compile thing i dont know where to start... but thanks for helping .. legendary.. perhaps we should post the .deb to the site for future users | 04:05 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: (when its done) | 04:05 |
| kercyr | If I can see the Ubuntu logo, there shouldn't be any reason I can't do a gui install, is there? | 04:05 |
| nickrud | bluefox83: have you tried modprobing the right driver? | 04:06 |
| seacat | oreomike, root was logged in? Really? | 04:06 |
| friedtofu | mjw bazhang - do you think its worth it to go from 1.67 to 2.0 Ghz? | 04:06 |
| bazhang | friedtofu: what price point? | 04:06 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, you may want to go read some of the mythty/mythbuntu docs/guides then - they are decently well done. I dont even have a tv tuner card installed any more to test this thing once it does compile | 04:06 |
| robdig | pppoe_dude: i don't know why, but my guess would be that X notices it's gone, but hal doesn't notice when it goes or comes back | 04:06 |
| mjw- | friedtofu depends how much it would cost | 04:06 |

| friedtofu | mjw - yeah it is a laptop | 04:09 |

| Dr_willis | neopsyche, the source did compile. and kalva did run. so i would say download the source.. get all the developer files you need.. and compile it. - | 04:11 |
| friedtofu | neopsyche - what do you mean "if desktop and the processor is free then yes ;-)" | 04:11 |
| zelrikriando | Dougla1: good luck :) | 04:11 |

| neopsyche | friedtofu: you said you wanted to upgrade.. if soemone is giving you the processor or you getting it for next to nothing then yes.. otherwise i dont think it would be worth it. | 04:11 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, i allready did..:) i downloaded the source. installed all the depenedneciues.. and did the normal ./configure, make, make isntall song and dance. :) | 04:11 |

| Dr_willis | neopsyche, proberly not in any great detail. i got 10000+ dev packages installed.. so you will proberly need to start grabbing the various dev packages .. and download the source for a start compiling it and see what else it wants | 04:13 |

| neopsyche | Dr_Willis: wheres the first place to start to compile from source? | 04:19 |
| broken__ | Can someone take a look at this, http://pastebin.ca/897023 what does that look like? | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, make a directory.. put the source in there. uncompress it.. read its readme/install docs.. and of course You should be installing the various -dev packages... (ive think ive said about 10 min ago what i was installing) :) you may have to install quite a few things to get the thing tocompile. | 04:20 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, for a start install the 'build-essential' package | 04:21 |
| bazhang | broken__: I cant access that site--perhaps you could paste it elsewhere or describe the problem here | 04:21 |
| nickrud | broken__: a wine app that couldn't run because your direct rendering is broken | 04:21 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, for a start i had to do a sudo apt-get install kde-devel qt3-dev-tools qt3-apps-dev | 04:21 |
| broken__ | I see, I'm guessing thats fglrx's fault. | 04:21 |
| nickrud | broken__: if you have xserver-xgl running that would cause it | 04:22 |
| lnknpk04 | neopsyche, when you unpack the source alot of times there's a file in there called 'readme' or something along those lines. alot of times it tells you step by step how to compile | 04:22 |
| seacat | neopsyche, First, download the tarball; apt-get source <package.name.here> | 04:23 |
| Dr_willis | seacat, its not in the repos at all. :) | 04:23 |
| Dr_willis | i did a wget http://download.berlios.de/kalva/kalva-0.8.90.tar.bz2 | 04:23 |
| dragon | is there a way i can update ubuntu from dapper drake to gutsy through the repos? | 04:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | broken__: What video card are you working with | 04:23 |
| seacat | Dr_willis, neopsyche Download it from where ever; tar -zxvf tarball.tgz ; configure ; make ; sudo make install | 04:24 |
| nickrud | Dr_willis: I've been thinking, with that many dev packages installed you oughta spend a couple hours learning to make a deb with cdbs ;) | 04:24 |
| bazhang | dragon: yes but it is a long process--you could wait until april and go directly from dapper to hardy | 04:24 |
| seacat | Dr_willis, neopsyche Download it from where ever; tar -zxvf tarball.tgz ; cd tarball/ ; less README ; less INSTALL ; configure ; make ; sudo make install | 04:24 |
| quaal | why can i not use my shift/ctrl keys to select files through a vnc session. shift works when typing into the vnc session though? | 04:25 |
| dragon | well reason i ask is so that i can get the latest ver of wine to play WoW and other games | 04:25 |
| Dr_willis | nickrud, i would just be happy if i coulf figure out a nice simple way to get all the dev files needed for a given source package easially. :) | 04:25 |
| neopsyche | seacat: easier? | 04:25 |

| dragon | wow im that behind? | 04:26 |
| ohp | it's working great | 04:26 |

| Dr_willis | nickrud, :) yep.. but if its a known package.. i just use the debs heh. | 04:26 |

| joe_ | i need help installing ventrilo | 04:34 |
| soldats | randoms: you need to edit your xorg.conf and input the correct resolutions with the correct refresh rates otherwise it wont work. otherwise an easire way is in terminal "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" the choose defaults to be safe then choose the resolution you want and restart the Xserver by doing "ctrl+alt+backspace: | 04:34 |

| bazhang | neopsyche: did you install build-essential? | 04:38 |
| IcemanV9 | build-essential would solve the problem | 04:39 |
| soldats | joe_: watch your language please | 04:39 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: how do i install build essential? | 04:39 |
| badkitty | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:39 |
| _Oz_ | anyone here running a twinview setup (dual monitors)? | 04:39 |
| bazhang | joe_: not much help if you curse like that | 04:39 |
| joe_ | sorry | 04:39 |
| badkitty | _Oz_: I am | 04:39 |
| joe_ | but in all seriousness | 04:39 |
| joe_ | where can i find those files | 04:39 |
| _Oz_ | badkitty: how do you force windows to open in the right-hand display rather than the left? | 04:39 |
| _Oz_ | I have the nvidia x-server file thingie. | 04:39 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: what command should i type to 'install build essential?' | 04:39 |
| Starnestommy | neopsyche: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:40 |
| soldats | sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:40 |
| badkitty | _Oz_: Now that I don't know | 04:40 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: what do i type to install build essential? sudo apt-get install buld-essential ok ;- | 04:40 |
| dragon | odd i tried updateing from dapper drake to edgy eft but on the update screen it says my system is up to date | 04:40 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: same as all else sudo apt-get install packagename | 04:40 |
| mjw- | _Oz_ I am, on a matrox card | 04:40 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get install g++-3.4 | 04:40 |
| nickrud | lol neopsyche I hope you had a lot of sleep, you're gonne be at this a while :) | 04:40 |
| mjw- | _Oz_ NOT a setup experience I'd recommend for the faint of heart | 04:40 |
| badkitty | mjw: How many heads does it have? Matrox is c00 | 04:40 |
| joe_ | is there an ubuntu irc where there arnt over 9000 people | 04:40 |
| joe_ | so i can get some help | 04:41 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: ok ;-) Virtual caffeine is like .. getting a program to work ;-) | 04:41 |
| nickrud | seacat you should recommend build-essential , and ubuntu is using 4.1 right now | 04:41 |
| Genius16 | joe_ were not that busy in "kubuntu" just dont bring your "gnomes" | 04:41 |
| mjw- | badkitty just two....in 2003, it was pretty much the only dual headed DVI fanless card available (Matrox P650) | 04:41 |
| joe_ | kk | 04:41 |
| _Oz_ | I got my nvidia twinview setup working easily | 04:41 |
| neopsyche | ROTFL! dont bring gnomes! | 04:41 |
| _Oz_ | it was not hard at all | 04:41 |
| IcemanV9 | joe_: to find a file; whereis <file name> OR which <file name> | 04:41 |
| neopsyche | ;-D! | 04:41 |
| badkitty | joe_: Actually this seems to be the bast channel to get help with ubuntu stuff. If there is too few people, then no one will be around to help you | 04:41 |
| _Oz_ | there are just a few behaviors I'd like to change and don't know how exactly | 04:41 |
| _Oz_ | in windows I could say one monitor was primary over the other | 04:41 |
| _Oz_ | in ubuntu, I don't see a way to do that... I have nvidia x-server which lets me configure some things but not that. | 04:42 |
| badkitty | mjw-: Now they have cards with 16 heads and stuff eh? | 04:42 |
| badkitty | _Oz_: For sure there is a way, I just don't know off hand.. | 04:42 |
| mjw- | badkitty so I've heard, i'm not sure why'd you use them otherwise anymore. time has left them behind, and the binary-only linux drivers are just pretty pathetic | 04:42 |
| Vadi | How can I check what version of nVidia drivers have I got? | 04:42 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: hehe.. the cdrom drive wants to eat my gibbon :-D | 04:43 |
| dragon | so do i skip edgy eft? since it wont let me update to it claming i got the latest updates? | 04:43 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get install build-essential g++-4.1 | 04:43 |
| galagher | dtidititimtu | 04:43 |
| badkitty | mjw-: I just stay with nvidia myself.. Do I really need 16 monitors? | 04:43 |
| neopsyche | seacat: i should do that instaead of installing from the gibbon biscuit? | 04:43 |
| kilgariff | Vadi: nvidia-settings | 04:43 |
| soldats | _Oz_: try opening an app with the terminal and force it to display 0:2 or 0:1 i dont remember if that refers to dual monitors. best way is to play around. | 04:43 |
| mjw- | badkitty if I had to do it again, I'd just get a 24 inch LCD singlehead. but it was more cost effective to do two 17" LCDs dualhead in 2003 | 04:44 |
| IcemanV9 | badkitty: unless you'll give a cool presentation using 16 monitors ;) | 04:44 |
| nickrud | seacat: build essential brings in gcc, g++ , libc6-dev , make other stuff | 04:44 |
| Vadi | kilgariff: thanks dude | 04:44 |
| obione | hey guys [] | 04:44 |
| pulsar | part | 04:44 |
| seacat | nickrud, Thank you. I stand corrected. | 04:44 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:44 |
| badkitty | IcemanV9: I once saw a video of some guys playing quake on a 16 monitors using a soap mouse | 04:44 |
| nickrud | seacat: saves time :) | 04:44 |
| neopsyche | seacat: what does g++4.1 do? | 04:44 |
| mjw- | badkitty I would never get another matrox card though for general use. the linux drivers are quite inferior. | 04:45 |
| seacat | neopsyche, It's the compiler. | 04:45 |
| neopsyche | seacat: it asked me for my cd | 04:45 |
| neopsyche | seacat: so i put it in and now its reading | 04:45 |
| seacat | neopsyche, But just do sudo apt-get build.essential | 04:45 |
| neopsyche | seacat: its intalling | 04:45 |
| neopsyche | i think | 04:45 |
| neopsyche | * installing | 04:45 |
| badkitty | mjw-: I can only imagine | 04:45 |
| dragon | how come i cant update my ubuntu ver when i use the command gksu "update-manager -c" | 04:46 |
| neopsyche | seacat: installing build essential from cd | 04:46 |
| mjw- | badkitty ie the OpenGL implementation is basically broken, so no compiz-fusion fun | 04:46 |
| neopsyche | seacat: but not that other thingy you asked me to add | 04:46 |
| Vadi | kilgariff: one more thing.. nvidia settings say I got 100.14.19. Website says latest 169.07 is latest.. is the gutsy stock driver really old or? | 04:46 |
| Asdquefty | #kubuntu | 04:46 |
| seacat | neopsyche, It doesn't matter | 04:47 |
| Starseed | Damn, don't know what happened, everythings falling apart in ubuntu .. Skype stopped working , xine stopped working , flash crashes .. yikes.. | 04:47 |
| soldats | dragon: try gksudo update-manager -c | 04:47 |
| kilgariff | Vadi: I'm not sure, lemme check | 04:47 |
| soldats | it opens the gui for updating | 04:47 |
| soldats | dragon: or in terminal try sudo apt-get update | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, this MIGHT work --> http://rapidshare.com/files/90314282/kalva_0.8.90-1_i386.deb.html | 04:48 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: thanks | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, and if it blows up your pc.. well --- too bad. :P | 04:49 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: but could you possibly download that and email it to me .. as i dont have rapidshare account and free option never works for me | 04:49 |
| nickrud | rflol | 04:49 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: oh | 04:49 |
| dragon | ok now what? | 04:49 |
| Starseed | guess I'm going to give it a second go , re-install | 04:49 |
| robogeek | is anybody familiar with hald on hardy? | 04:49 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: i think i already downloaded that | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | You dont need an account to get things.. | 04:49 |
| ogre | hey guys, I was just wondering how to stop virtualbox from grabbing my mouse? it says "Right Ctrl" what the heck is right? | 04:49 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Is this machine not online? | 04:49 |
| neopsyche | seacat: its installed now | 04:49 |
| neopsyche | seacat: this machine is online | 04:49 |
| neopsyche | seacat: my machine? | 04:50 |
| Vadi | ogre: it's the ctrl key that's on your right | 04:50 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: hahaha | 04:50 |
| IcemanV9 | ogre: your right ctrl key | 04:50 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Good. | 04:50 |
| Vadi | ogre: there are 2 ctrl keys, one on the left side, one on the right side. Press the right ctrl | 04:50 |
| === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic | ||
| ogre | Vadi: ahahahaha thanks ;P | 04:50 |
| kilgariff | Vadi: I've never noticed that before. I'm downloading the driver from the nvidia site just to check | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | If thers some other site better then rapidshare - let me know. :) | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: what you laughing at!?? | 04:50 |
| Vadi | ogre: and install the virtualbox addons | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | lol | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | :-D | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | i rarely use them | 04:50 |
| badkitty | seacat ...Im trying to picture what that would look like .. using a seahorse as a reference of how to translate regular animals to those that live underwater | 04:50 |
| Vadi | kilgariff: Ok, thanks. | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | seacat: cool.. what now? | 04:50 |
| ogre | Vadi: whats the name of the package? | 04:50 |
| pawan | hi | 04:51 |
| neopsyche | seacat: Setting up build-essential (11.3ubuntu1) ... | 04:51 |
| Vadi | ogre: it's not a package. In the virtualbox vm window, click on 'devices', and 'install virtualbox addons' | 04:51 |
| Vadi | ogre: if your wm is windows, it'll start an installer, if linux, open up a folder, and you need to run the .run file | 04:51 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: an intermediate step: system->admin->software sources , make sure the first four items on the first tab are enabled, and the cdrom is disabled. On the Updates tab, make sure security and updates are enabled | 04:52 |
| dragon | ok i did the try sudo apt-get update | 04:52 |
| dragon | whats next to do? | 04:52 |
| ogre | Vadi: thanks | 04:52 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: that will allow you to not use the cd, and make sure you have the latest safest versions of ubuntu software | 04:52 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: sudo apt-get safe-upgrade | 04:52 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: done. | 04:53 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: whats next? | 04:53 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: continue with seacat | 04:53 |
| dragon | E: Invalid operation safe-upgrade | 04:53 |
| lnknpk04 | in case anyone else finds they cant boot after this last round of updates, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=658329 | 04:53 |
| dragon | thats what it told me | 04:53 |
| acecase | I have a fresh install and my mouse is lagging like crazy. CPU/RAM usage is minimal and the system is very responsive but the mouse lag is bad. I can't seem to find anything useful in the forums or with google this time. | 04:53 |
| neopsyche | seacat: whats next? | 04:53 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: what version of ubuntu? | 04:53 |
| gandhii | curious as to how and who updates the files in the repositories? Is there a policy in how often they are updated? | 04:53 |
| dragon | dapper drake i did the sudo apt get update thing and it seemed to work but didnt change anything | 04:54 |
| seacat | neopsyche, ./configure ; make ; make install | 04:54 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: ah. then use sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:54 |
| Vadi | gandhii: normal packages are updated with the new ubuntu release. Security patches as soon as needed are applied though | 04:54 |
| seacat | neopsyche, The system is fully updated, right? | 04:54 |
| kilgariff | acecase: Could it just be miconfigured in preferences->mouse? | 04:54 |
| Vadi | gandhii: If you'd like the latest programs, I'd recommend getdeb.net. | 04:54 |
| nickrud | gandhii: for main, there's a security team that applies known security fixes. For universe and mulitiverse, it's catch as catch can. They're working on building a good team for that, though | 04:54 |
| acecase | Helvasca in the mouse settings? I have played with all those settings. | 04:54 |
| seacat | neopsyche, If not, sudo apt-get update | 04:55 |
| dragon | its telling me bash: try: command not found | 04:55 |
| neopsyche | seacat: now its giving a bunch of other stuff | 04:55 |
| gandhii | ah... so you mean apps like wine or blender won't be updated till the next April? | 04:55 |
| dragon | opps lol | 04:55 |
| kilgariff | Vadi: brb, installing new driver | 04:55 |
| acecase | kilgariff If I slide the speed up in mouse settings it just makes it unusable because it still lags so it looks like it teleports from one side to another :) | 04:55 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: misspelling? | 04:55 |
| Vadi | kilgariff: k | 04:55 |
| neopsyche | seacat: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 04:55 |
| kilgariff | acecase: awesome :) | 04:56 |
| acecase | lol | 04:56 |
| nickrud | gandhii: precisely. The philosophy is don't add new bugs to a release, | 04:56 |
| neopsyche | seacat: checking for shl_unload in -ldld... no | 04:56 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get update | 04:56 |
| neopsyche | seacat: do i need to | 04:56 |
| neopsyche | ok | 04:56 |
| pajamian | gandhii: if you want to keep wine updated to the latest release then just add the winehq repository. | 04:57 |
| marx2k_ | why WHY WHY does linux not have a decent newsgroup binaries downloader :( | 04:57 |
| gandhii | but I noticed that the update to OpenOffice was reflected in the repositories fairly quickly though.. | 04:57 |
| dragon | odd it does the sudo apt-get update just fine but then when i do sudo apt-get safe-upgrade it says | 04:57 |
| nickrud | gandhii: however, gutsy-updates will sometimes get new versions, as does backports and proposed. I personally don't use proposed and backports because they often add new bugs. | 04:57 |
| dragon | E: Invalid operation safe-upgrade | 04:57 |
| nickrud | dragon: someone was confusing a command for another front end to apt | 04:57 |
| gandhii | "gutsy-updates"? | 04:57 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: not on dapper | 04:58 |
| dragon | *confused* | 04:58 |
| nickrud | gandhii: system->admin->software sources , updates tab | 04:58 |
| neopsyche | seacat: W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br unstable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907 | 04:58 |
| Genius16 | marx2k_ ive wondered myself, you'd think one would be plastered up everywhere? i havent looked very hard though. = | 04:58 |
| nickrud | dragon: safe-upgrade is used with aptitude, a front end that's not recommended for use with ubuntu | 04:59 |
| neopsyche | seacat: does that matter? | 04:59 |
| gandhii | oh right.. I get ya | 04:59 |
| Gemmers | Hello | 04:59 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: if you want to update your dapper, then type sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get autoclean | 04:59 |
| gandhii | thanks | 04:59 |
| factotum | aptitude is a front end for apt-get? | 04:59 |
| Gemmers | I'm considering putting ubuntu on my laptop but I have concerns about power management and battery life | 04:59 |
| gandhii | filled up one of the many many holes in my linux knowledge | 04:59 |
| nickrud | factotum: no, apt-get and aptitude are front ends for apt, as is synaptic | 05:00 |
| factotum | lol okay | 05:00 |
| neopsyche | seacat: on configure some of he settings still say "no" and it still cant find the x library | 05:00 |
| cleit0n | hey.. hi i install skype in ubuntu 7.10 ? | 05:00 |
| neopsyche | seacat: what should we do now? | 05:00 |
| mjw- | !laptop | Gemmers | 05:00 |
| ubotu | Gemmers: Laptop support information can be found on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptops - http://www.linux-laptop.net/ - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam - http://tuxmobil.org | 05:00 |
| nowimproved | i get this error when i try to burn a cd Cd record has no permission to open device" | 05:00 |
| badkitty | cleit0n: sudo apt-get install skype (after you enable the medibuntu repo) | 05:00 |
| Gemmers | I've had a look around some Docs and my laptop shows partial support | 05:00 |
| seacat | neopsyche, lsb_release -a | 05:00 |
| Gemmers | I've currently got 512MB ram and a 1.5GHz processor so that should be fine right? | 05:00 |
| * IcemanV9 personally uses aptitude for everything | 05:01 | |
| seacat | neopsyche, What does it say? | 05:01 |
| Gemmers | The main concern is with regards to power saving and management | 05:01 |
| mjw- | Gemmers I installed xubuntu on an old dell latitude c510, pretty much all the power management stuff worked fine, except screen savers don't work on it (but blanking does) | 05:01 |
| dragon | is that it? | 05:01 |
| Vadi | Gemmers: yeah. That's what I got too. | 05:01 |
| nickrud | nowimproved: you should be in the cdrom group, try typing groups in a terminal , see if it's listed | 05:01 |
| Vadi | Gemmers: Same specs I mean | 05:01 |
| badkitty | Gemmers: Thats fine for linux yah.. what are you trying to do? | 05:01 |
| Gemmers | That's cool | 05:01 |
| neopsyche | seacat: Release: 7.10 | 05:01 |
| neopsyche | Codename: gutsy | 05:01 |
| Gemmers | University | 05:01 |
| mjw- | Gemmers I run xubuntu on a 1GHz celeron with 256MB, works great. regular ubuntu should be fine on that | 05:01 |
| cleit0n | badkitty: medibuntu? | 05:01 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: yea | 05:01 |
| Gemmers | Cheap easy as computing, no vista no windows | 05:01 |
| dragon | how can i tell if it worked? | 05:02 |
| Gemmers | I love the idea of how it's apparently much more easier to use ubuntu, so much so I'm trying to get my mum to use my laptop | 05:02 |
| Gemmers | And viruses shall not be an issue | 05:02 |
| z-dog | guys when i compile my dmfe driver i get two errors | 05:02 |
| neopsyche | seacat: any idea? | 05:02 |
| nickrud | IcemanV9: so did I, but one of the actual canonical support guys told me the upgrade 'uber-geeks' are actively pushing apt-get over aptitude, some changes coming down the pike that won't make it to aptitude real fast | 05:02 |
| Peddy | has anyone had any luck with the Pidgin-Rhythmbox plugin? | 05:02 |
| IcemanV9 | dragon: you'll see in the terminal when you issued the command | 05:02 |
| thug_life | how do i get the user list | 05:03 |
| factotum | yep ubuntu with a stripped out xp vmimage for some cs3 apps has been great | 05:03 |
| robogeek | is anybody familiar with hald or autofs in hardy? | 05:03 |
| badkitty | !medibuntu | cleit0n | 05:03 |
| ubotu | cleit0n: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 05:03 |
| IcemanV9 | nickrud: it's good to know ... hm | 05:03 |
| Gemmers | But do you use ubuntu on a laptop, I was worried that you need special software to save battery life | 05:03 |
| the_alamo | i am having trouble getting to irc.gnome.org or irc.gimp.org. is anyone else having this problem? | 05:03 |
| neopsyche | seacat: wht do you need to know the release for? | 05:03 |
| neopsyche | seacat: is there an issue with that release? | 05:03 |
| mjw- | Gemmers no most any laptops from recent years will work fine out of the box, check the links ubotu gave you, someone may have tested your laptop specifically at some point | 05:04 |
| nowimproved | nickrud, it is | 05:04 |
| IcemanV9 | nickrud: will it backport to older version (as far as dapper) ?? | 05:04 |
| neopsyche | seacat: what do i need to do ? | 05:04 |
| Gemmers | It has been tested but are there any tips to optimise battery life | 05:04 |
| Gemmers | Are there settings in ubuntu I can use? | 05:04 |
| nickrud | IcemanV9: unlikely, it's stuff for hardy | 05:04 |
| neopsyche | seacat: is there an issue installing certain programs.. should i install them manually? | 05:04 |
| Gemmers | A hibernate setting perhaps? | 05:04 |
| mjw- | Gemmers turn screen brightness down, turn timers for screen blanking down, etc. | 05:04 |
| IcemanV9 | nickrud: ok. i'll test it out in hardy then. thks. | 05:05 |
| Gemmers | screen blanking? | 05:05 |
| Vadi | Gemmers: install powertop - it's on getdeb.net | 05:05 |
| pawan | any good paint program | 05:05 |
| neopsyche | seacat: hello? | 05:05 |
| Gemmers | Note I have not used ubuntu before but I am very keen to install it | 05:05 |
| Vadi | Gemmers: then type 'sudo powertop' in the terminal. It'll do a bunch of power-saving suggestions. | 05:05 |
| neopsyche | pawan: paint program for what? | 05:05 |
| thug_life | you can't /ctcp with xchat ? | 05:06 |
| chubs730__ | pawan: xpaint | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | ive noticed some of the powertop 'suggestions' dont apply to all setups. | 05:06 |
| pajamian | thug_life: I can ctcp just fine | 05:06 |
| thug_life | With x-chat gnome? | 05:06 |
| mjw- | thug_life I know ctcp doesn't work with pidgin, but I thought it worked with xchat | 05:06 |
| dragon | i dont see where it supose to of updated it | 05:06 |
| pajamian | thug_life: regular x-chat, I never liked the xchat-gnome interface. | 05:06 |
| thug_life | I'll try the reg version | 05:07 |
| |myxb| | how can i connect to internet via wm6 smartphone using bluetooth? | 05:07 |
| neopsyche | can someone help me continue to install a program | 05:07 |
| neopsyche | Dr_Willis: can you continue to help me .. i think maby seacat is doing something else | 05:08 |
| seacat | neopsyche, You need to solve the GPG error problem. | 05:08 |
| neopsyche | oh | 05:08 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: Please go ahead and proceed with the question | 05:08 |
| neopsyche | GPG | 05:08 |
| neopsyche | its ok.. seacat is back | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, i dont even know where you left off. :) | 05:08 |
| seacat | !GPG | 05:08 |
| ubotu | gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 05:08 |
| neopsyche | seacat: is that the problem.? | 05:08 |
| pawan | any other | 05:09 |
| === |myxb| is now known as myxb | ||
| nickrud | neopsyche: I looked back, did you add that repo for any particular reason? | 05:09 |
| dover | hey guys, im having a problem installing ubuntu for the first time | 05:09 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: you can ignore that error though | 05:09 |
| badkitty | dover: errors? | 05:09 |
| dover | i downloaded both discs but i got no luck with either | 05:10 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: yeah.. just to install the studio desktop .. but not much else | 05:10 |
| dover | basically i dont even get to the installation point | 05:10 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: yeah i thought so | 05:10 |
| badkitty | dover: Is the disc not booting or what is happenning? | 05:10 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: does that mean i can continue without gpg issue | 05:10 |
| pawan | hi | 05:10 |
| pawan | any other | 05:10 |
| neopsyche | seacat: nickrud says its no prob | 05:10 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: disable it if you don't plan on using it again. You will still keep the packages you have installed. | 05:10 |
| bazhang | !find paint | 05:10 |
| ubotu | Found: gpaint, tuxpaint, tuxpaint-data, tuxpaint-stamps-default, cinepaint (and 13 others) | 05:11 |
| dover | if i use the text based installation i get to the point where i detect the keyboard type | 05:11 |
| dover | then the screen goes blue and just stays that way | 05:11 |
| bazhang | pawan see above | 05:11 |
| kercyr | If you're suggesting a wireless adapter to someone who runs 7.10, what would you suggest? Cheaper the better.... 802.11g... | 05:11 |
| IcemanV9 | dover: hardy? | 05:11 |
| pajamian | dover: restart and run the memcheck | 05:11 |
| badkitty | dover: What about the regular disc what happens with that? | 05:11 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ok | 05:11 |
| thug_life | has anyone got the creative zen working on 7.10? | 05:11 |
| seacat | !GPG | neopsyche | 05:11 |
| ubotu | neopsyche: gpg is the GNU Privacy Guard. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto and class #8 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClassroomTranscripts | 05:11 |
| neopsyche | seacat: i think i have solved the prob | 05:11 |
| dover | well, i see the title screen i guess, with the orange bar at the bottom, looks like its loading... | 05:11 |
| neopsyche | seacat: but its fine on the default repos so why do i need to fix gpg i have disabled the offending repos | 05:12 |
| dover | then at some point the orange bar stops moving and my screen gets kinda weird | 05:12 |
| dover | like the images screw up | 05:12 |
| mjw- | dover what kind of graphics card do you have | 05:12 |
| dover | and it just stays that way | 05:12 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get update | 05:12 |
| dover | 5600 | 05:12 |
| mjw- | Nvidia? | 05:12 |
| dover | yeah | 05:12 |
| badkitty | dover: Ok so it starts to boot ... thats nvidia? | 05:12 |
| badkitty | dover: that card should be fine | 05:12 |
| badkitty | dover: How long do you wait before you give up on it? | 05:13 |
| mouseboyx | dover, there are problems sometimes | 05:13 |
| dover | a few minutes | 05:13 |
| mouseboyx | sometimes you have to use the nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-new and vice versa | 05:13 |
| badkitty | dover: Is your system fast or slow? The liveCD can take a while to load sometimes.. I've noticed it can be very termpermental | 05:13 |
| dover | its a 2.6 P4 | 05:14 |
| pajamian | dover: I highly suspect you have bad RAM on your computer, I would recommend you run memcheck86 from the boot menu of either CD. | 05:14 |
| dover | like, 4 years old maybe | 05:14 |
| nuffin | i wish my nvidia card was supported. have to use the nv driver. | 05:14 |
| cyphase | What does everyone think about having the Add/Remove Programs dialog only show one of each type of app by default? It could be a simple checkbox to show the rest. So, instead of showing 5 different browsers, it would only have firefox, or instead of 5 different feed readers, it would only have one (e.g. Liferea) | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, been trying other upload sites -> http://www.load.to/?d=2FDgvRKuti is that same file. :) | 05:14 |
| neopsyche | not sure. | 05:14 |
| badkitty | dover: Running a memcheck wouldn't hurt.. | 05:15 |
| dover | weird that windows will install even with bad ram lol | 05:15 |
| seacat | nuffin, The nv driver is the supported driver module for Nvidia cards. | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | dover, with bad ram and windows.. you just notice it crashing a little bit more. :) | 05:15 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: yes | 05:15 |
| dragon | do i have to reboot for the update to show? | 05:15 |
| badkitty | dover: Well I doubt it is bad ram.. youd have bigger problems .. like nothing loading at all.. | 05:15 |
| seacat | nuffin, In other words, your card is supported. | 05:16 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: the same | 05:16 |
| mjw- | dover have you tried to boot the graphical livecd in safe graphics mode? | 05:16 |
| pajamian | dover: it may not be bad RAM but that's the first thing I'd check. It's very unlikely to be a problem with graphics card compatibility if the text based install on the alternate install CD fails. | 05:16 |
| dover | yeah | 05:16 |
| dover | same thing happens | 05:16 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ok so now config right? | 05:16 |
| nuffin | seacat the nv is the generic and doesn't support dirrect acceleration or 3d | 05:16 |
| jetscreamer | xvrefresh= and xhrefresh= , dover | 05:16 |
| seacat | neopsyche, yes | 05:16 |
| jetscreamer | google knoppix cheat codes dover | 05:16 |
| seacat | !nvidia | nuffin | 05:17 |
| ubotu | nuffin: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:17 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ok.. now? | 05:17 |
| neopsyche | seacat: some of them still say no. | 05:17 |
| nuffin | seacat all i'm saying is that nv supports the family not any one card. that's all. | 05:17 |
| jetscreamer | dover: the autodetection sucks for nvidia | 05:17 |
| mjw- | dover: pajamian has a point. the text installer should not be failing even if it was a card issue. That's likely a sign of hardware problems or some really bizarre piece of hardware you have | 05:17 |
| seacat | nuffin, Install missing dependencies | 05:17 |
| Gemmers | Does 7.10 have a feature similar to that windows aero thing? | 05:18 |
| Starnestommy | compiz-fusion? | 05:18 |
| nuffin | nuffin my card is not supported anymore | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | !compiz | Gemmers | 05:18 |
| ubotu | Gemmers: 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 | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | compiz blows aero away | 05:18 |
| Gemmers | Thank you | 05:18 |
| Gemmers | Nice script bot btw | 05:18 |
| Joe__ | having some issues helping somoene. LiveCD, Gutsy, HP dv9500, the wireless doesn't work at all. It can see the router, but never connects | 05:18 |
| kilgariff | Vadi: You still there? | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | !thankyou | Gemmers | 05:18 |
| ubotu | Gemmers: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 05:18 |
| Gemmers | ahah | 05:18 |
| Gemmers | very nice | 05:19 |
| Gemmers | very very nice | 05:19 |
| thug_life | where is the router? | 05:19 |
| kilgariff | Hehe | 05:19 |
| Shroothy | whos on | 05:19 |
| kilgariff | guess not :) | 05:19 |
| Genius16 | i am! | 05:19 |
| neopsyche | seacat: it said could not lock i think its because of synaptic | 05:19 |
| * alfermp is away: Away | 05:19 | |
| Joe__ | router is nearby, they have no problems under vista but want to try ubuntu and maybe switch | 05:19 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Yes, you will need to finish up with the synaptic package manager. | 05:19 |
| neopsyche | seacat: it seems to be hung on.. 99% [Waiting for headers] | 05:20 |
| Genius16 | *gasp* someone has teh netwerk prob-leums! | 05:20 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin or whoever ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/169.07/README/appendix-a.html | 05:20 |
| thug_life | maybe it's the liveCD - wireless on my install of 7.10 works fine. | 05:20 |
| dover | well, ill burn memtest to a disc and see if its a ram issue | 05:20 |
| dover | thanks | 05:21 |
| Joe__ | yes, but you could have a different card | 05:21 |
| Gemmers | My ubuntu CD is done yay. It's a lightscribe disk so maybe I shall find an image | 05:21 |
| pajamian | dover: it's on both the install cds, just select it from the boot menu | 05:21 |
| mjw- | dover the liveCD has a memcheck boot option built in | 05:21 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ? | 05:21 |
| dover | oh...lol, ok | 05:21 |
| Gemmers | Is there a specific image that anyone recommends | 05:21 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: or, ftp://x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/nv.4.html | 05:21 |
| seacat | neopsyche, let it finish. | 05:21 |
| neopsyche | ok | 05:21 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer i'll look but they dropped support for my card years ago | 05:22 |
| Joe__ | is there another channel that deals specifically with wireless or hp issues? | 05:22 |
| neeto | I asked this in #apache, but no one answered, so I'm gonna try my luck here: does anyone know, using apache, how you tell it to list hidden directories (directories that start with dots) over HTTP? | 05:22 |
| neopsyche | seacat: can i do this update with synaptic too? | 05:22 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Yes | 05:22 |
| Hisotaso | can anyone help me set up my cdrom in fstab and mtab? | 05:23 |
| thug_life | #wireless | 05:23 |
| neopsyche | seacat: rr http://repository.akirad.net akirad-gutsy/main Translation-en_ZA | 05:23 |
| neopsyche | Connection failed | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | Hisotaso, you dont mess with mtab :) | 05:23 |
| pajamian | neeto: I think it's a setting in httpd.conf ... there's a setting that tells it what files *not* to list and somethign like .* is included in that. | 05:24 |
| Dr_willis | Hisotaso, my entry in fstab --> /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0 | 05:24 |
| squidly | does anyone know of a way to convert a 32bit ubutnu install to a 64bit install? | 05:24 |
| neeto | pajamian: I'll look at it | 05:24 |
| nickrud | squidly: reinstall | 05:24 |
| squidly | nickrud: that's the only way.. blast. | 05:24 |
| Hisotaso | thanks willis | 05:24 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer not listed there. but thanks for the try. | 05:25 |
| squidly | what about installing over my current install? | 05:25 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: not listed on which | 05:25 |
| Hisotaso | ive been playin with fstab and mtab because im having issues with a multi disc install in cedega | 05:25 |
| jetscreamer | the xorg or nvidia | 05:25 |
| nickrud | squidly: that's what I did. | 05:25 |
| seacat | neopsyche, You need to remove or comment out that repo | 05:25 |
| pajamian | squidly: I went the other way (64 bit to 32 bit) and the only solution I found was to install from scratch. | 05:25 |
| nickrud | squidly: if you do a reinstall, think about a separate home partition if you haven't already. Makes reinstalls, or running more than one version painless | 05:26 |
| squidly | pajamian: that I can understand. | 05:26 |
| Hisotaso | can anyone share their cdrom line out of mtab please? | 05:26 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: exactly which card | 05:26 |
| Gemmers | Does anyone know where I can find the ubuntu 7.10 ccd label | 05:26 |
| squidly | nickrud: yea the thing I'm more worried about is my sqldb's and my mythtv directories | 05:26 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer the first URL the second lists nv as supporting the familey | 05:26 |
| squidly | the rest of it I can deal with | 05:26 |
| Gemmers | I want to use lightscribe for the first (and probably for the only time) | 05:26 |
| Creationist | Does anyone know how I can apply a custom album art cover to an entire album of .MP3 files? Amarok only lets you use Amazon or custom pictures for individual files. | 05:27 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: if nv supports it, the nvidia driver supports it also | 05:27 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer RIVA128 agp | 05:27 |
| jetscreamer | ah ok maybe not | 05:27 |
| nickrud | squidly: redirect them to /home/mythtv and /home/databases on the next install ;) | 05:27 |
| squidly | heh | 05:27 |
| dman | Creationist: by default Amarok applies the album art to all songs in that album... | 05:27 |
| mjw- | nuffin maybe it's time for a video card upgrade :) | 05:27 |
| alexkreuz | can anyone tell me how i mount smbfs drives on the desktop as icons? | 05:27 |
| neopsyche | seacat: done now | 05:27 |
| neeto | pajamian: since I'm not running redhat, httpd.conf means nothing, but in apache2.conf there was a setting that would hide .ht* files, but not anything else starting with a dot... :/ | 05:27 |
| squidly | nickrud: well the myth dirs are on different disks. they pull a lot of data. I was more worried about my setup's for the and db files | 05:27 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get update | 05:28 |
| neopsyche | seacat: done | 05:28 |
| Creationist | dman: It only does that if you use Amazon to find the art. If you want to set a custom cover, you can only do that one file at a time. | 05:28 |
| neopsyche | seacat: eading package lists... Done | 05:28 |
| squidly | I wonder if I could just change my deb.conf and apt-get update | 05:28 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer and no one has been able to provide any indication that my card has been supported sense X11R6 | 05:28 |
| berend | does anyone have saviour | 05:28 |
| nickrud | squidly: I'm not familiar with mythtv and it's dbs, but I'm sure it's possible to get a safe backup | 05:28 |
| dman | Creationist: I've done it with a custom cover. it was for an album w/ 500 songs. all have it now. | 05:28 |
| pajamian | neeto: sorry, I actually run centos for my servers (and use ubuntu as the desktop) I just figured the conf file was named the same, I'll see if I can find the directive, though... | 05:28 |
| neopsyche | seacat: trying to configure now | 05:28 |
| neeto | pajamian: no worries man, I was just letting you know | 05:29 |
| squidly | nickrud: yea. I was much more looking for an inplcae upgrade | 05:29 |
| Creationist | dman: How did you do that? I can't change the art when I have more than one file selected. | 05:29 |
| squidly | Ok, I guess I'll do it on a vmware install and then write up a howto :D | 05:29 |
| IcemanV9 | ever since hoary, there is no guided partitioning for a separate /home partition :-/ I wonder why it was left out? | 05:29 |
| pajamian | neeto: sure, no problem, the filename will be different but the content will be largely the same. | 05:29 |
| neopsyche | seacat: still cant find x-libraries path and some of the parts say 'no' | 05:29 |
| neeto | pajamian: ok | 05:29 |
| dman | Creationist: the same way as usual. select one track and change its album art. it should automatically apply to allt he others | 05:29 |
| squidly | pajamian: may I ask why you went from 64 back to 32 bit? | 05:29 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer but like i said, thanks for the attempt. you would have nailed it if it was supported ;/ | 05:30 |
| Creationist | dman: Yeah, I would have assumed so too... but it's only applying it to that one file, not the entire album. | 05:30 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: looks like you get to use nv and that's it | 05:30 |
| dman | Creationist: odd. is the album naem the same? | 05:30 |
| the_alamo | is GimpNet broken? i want to ask #epiphany a question but i can't connect. so either the server is down or there is something wrong with my computer | 05:30 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer see above ^ :) | 05:30 |
| lanzelloth | anyone ever heard of kernel update making wireless not work? | 05:31 |
| Onyx | crossover office is a beautiful thing. | 05:31 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ? | 05:31 |
| Creationist | dman: yes, identical.... all the songs are listed under the same album in Amarok too | 05:31 |
| Onyx | lanzelloth: Yes. | 05:31 |
| pajamian | squidly: it was fiesty at the time, but I found lots of problems with 64 bit on the desktop, mainly having to do with things such as flash and java being a pita to get working, plus not being able to use w32codecs for videos, etc. | 05:31 |
| seacat | neopsyche, fully updated now? | 05:31 |
| neopsyche | seacat: do i need to reconfigure the x path:/ | 05:31 |
| neopsyche | .? | 05:31 |
| jetscreamer | yeah.. (messy) nv says it supports your gpu nuffin . are you saying it doesn't? | 05:31 |
| neopsyche | seacat: yes updated | 05:31 |
| lanzelloth | Onyx: there was a kernel update a couple days ago? | 05:31 |
| dman | Creationist: that is weird... | 05:31 |
| squidly | pajamian: ahh okies.. yea this will be a backend server. no gui stuff needed ;) | 05:31 |
| Onyx | lanzelloth: In Ubuntu? Yeah, I think so, but I don't use Ubuntu's kernel. I build my own. | 05:31 |
| Darkmystere | Hi? | 05:32 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer no. i'm not. i'm saying it supports it almost as well as vesa does. | 05:32 |
| alexkreuz | can anyone tell me how i mount smbfs drives on the desktop as icons? | 05:32 |
| jetscreamer | ah | 05:32 |
| dman | Creationist: maybe you messing with it before screwed something up . your solution might just be to do it manually fo that album. | 05:32 |
| seacat | neopsyche, ./configure | 05:32 |
| pajamian | squidly: ahhh, ok, I do run some centos servers as 64 bit and I have no problems with that. My feelings is that 64 bit is good for the server but not for the desktop. | 05:32 |
| nuffin | which means no hardware accel. jetscreamer | 05:32 |
| seacat | neopsyche, What package are you trying to install? What is the name of the package? | 05:32 |
| mjw- | nuffin the riva128 is just an old card. heck, how much memory does the one you have even possess? A lot of acceleration-type stuff will crap out if too little memory is present | 05:32 |
| squidly | pajamian: not until some of the more commanly used things are moved to 64bit like java and flash | 05:32 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: you might get better performance running 16 bit instead of 32 (that thing does 32 eh?) yeah no 3d | 05:32 |
| Genius16 | alexkreuz: do you have the drives mounted somewhere with samba already? | 05:32 |
| pajamian | squidly: exactly | 05:33 |
| squidly | I actually run my main desktop as a multilib 64bit gentoo install | 05:33 |
| alexkreuz | yes i got that part already | 05:33 |
| alexkreuz | /mnt/lan/ARRAKIS/E | 05:33 |
| neopsyche | seacat: Kalva | 05:33 |
| z-dog | guyd | 05:33 |
| ERRor_student | help me | 05:33 |
| zelrikriando | http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=MAD0ebyFFYY | 05:33 |
| squidly | but for servers I like not having to deal with a lot of compileing | 05:33 |
| ERRor_student | i have a webcam suyin, but not detect on feisty | 05:33 |
| ERRor_student | ? | 05:33 |
| lanzelloth | Onyx: oh.. now the applet thing can detect wireless networks but can't join into one, you think this is related to the kernel update? | 05:33 |
| Genius16 | alexkreus: if you're running gnome you could always do a symbolic link to the desktop. | 05:33 |
| lanzelloth | Onyx: it was working fine a couple days ago | 05:33 |
| mjw- | nuffin switching to a depth of 16bpp helped fix rendering issues for me with an old ATI Radeon Mobility chipset. There was too little video memory for acceleration at 24/32bpp | 05:33 |
| pajamian | squidly: I tried that, but I found that the pain of getting 32 bit things to work on a setup like that was not outweighed by the performance differences of 64 bit vs 32 bit. I just run 32 bit now and everything works painlessly. | 05:34 |
| dragon | ok doing that update where i am supose to update to edgy eft did nothing im still on dapper drake | 05:34 |
| nuffin | mjw- it's a "real" agp interface and 32m ram i think... | 05:34 |
| z-dog | how do you fix the two 'nh' errors in the dmfe driver file | 05:34 |
| Onyx | lanzelloth: You probably just need to do a network encryption configuration again. You probably lost the keys when you did the kernel update would be my guess. | 05:34 |
| squidly | pajamian: for me it works well with gentoo. but then everything is pretty much compiled as 64bit | 05:34 |
| dman | Creationist: i just did it to experiment. worked fine. | 05:34 |
| mjw- | nuffin the wiki page says the riva128 it came with 4-8mb | 05:34 |
| Genius16 | alexkreus: ln -s /path/to/samba/mount /home/$USERNAME/Desktop/WhateverFolderName | 05:35 |
| Creationist | dman: Well, that's the beauty of Linux... just because it works for 50 other people, doesn't mean it will for the other 50 ;) | 05:35 |
| bazhang | Creationist: indeed no problems here either | 05:35 |
| pajamian | squidly: yes, I can see that it would work better with gentoo sinc eyou can control the compilation of everything. | 05:35 |
| alexkreuz | Genius16 let me try that | 05:35 |
| nuffin | mjw- the pci does, but the agp is higher | 05:35 |
| squidly | pajamian: yep. I once I get my server in my noc at work, I will help with developmenting and making 64bit packages for ubuntu | 05:35 |
| squidly | I love the distro. its like debian only newer :D | 05:36 |
| * squidly ducks | 05:36 | |
| neopsyche | seacat: any ideas? | 05:36 |
| dman | Creationist: true enough. do yuo have an album art image in the folder. or more than one? | 05:36 |
| Creationist | ...because I certainly am being forced to do each file individually | 05:36 |
| seacat | neopsyche, DOwnload the .deb from http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4524&release_id=11307 | 05:36 |
| mjw- | nuffin try bumping the depth down to 16 in your xorg.conf, it might help | 05:36 |
| pajamian | squidly: yep, the 64 bit packaging in ubuntu is largely good, though. The main problems is with proprietary stuff that you can't get source code on. | 05:36 |
| ubud | any software that can play different code of dvd? | 05:36 |
| Creationist | dman: No, I have the album art images in separate folders and I'm trying to apply them to the albums in my collection.... not working. | 05:36 |
| squidly | pajamian: very true. that is mostly were the world would be needed | 05:36 |
| Genius16 | ubud: different code of dvd? | 05:36 |
| ubud | region | 05:37 |
| seacat | neopsyche, dpkg -i kalva_0.8.90-1_i386.deb | 05:37 |
| dman | Creationist: i did put the album art in the same folder as the files. maybe that helps? | 05:37 |
| Genius16 | ubud: vlc i believe | 05:37 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: what pci id does lspci | grep -i nvidia return? | 05:37 |
| pajamian | neeto: IndexIgnore | 05:37 |
| wers | in terms of quality, is openwengo better than skype? | 05:37 |
| Creationist | Why the hell doesn't Amarok have the option to "Set custom cover" when right-clicking an album... it offers to fetch the cover from Amazon, but you don't have the option to choose your own? | 05:37 |
| neopsyche | seacat: what about it? | 05:37 |
| en3r0 | hello | 05:37 |
| neeto | pajamian: in apache2.conf? | 05:37 |
| lanzelloth | Onyx: that's not it, i tried that | 05:37 |
| neopsyche | seacat: i already downloaded that package | 05:37 |
| nuffin | mjw- no can do. it does 24,15,8,... no 16 avalable | 05:37 |
| Creationist | dman: Do you have to name it something specific? | 05:37 |
| pajamian | neeto: in one of the .conf files somewhere | 05:37 |
| alexkreuz | Genius16, thanks if nothing else this should be fine, but is there a way to mount it so that it actually shows up as a real folder and doesn't show up as a deletable shortcut? | 05:37 |
| Genius16 | alexkreus: work for you? | 05:37 |
| diii | i want to preserve a livecd's contents after i've booted. does anyone know how i could do that? i got it to work with aufs, but ubuntu 7.10 has unionfs and the code i had working with debian fails (even though it mounts without errors on ubuntu /w unionfs) mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/mnt/sda1:/mnt/cdrom/=ro none / | 05:37 |
| seacat | neopsyche, http://prdownload.berlios.de/kalva/kalva_0.8.90-1_i386.deb | 05:37 |
| seacat | neopsyche, dpkg -i kalva_0.8.90-1_i386.deb | 05:38 |
| neeto | pajamian: thanks man | 05:38 |
| pajamian | neeto: mine has this: IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# HEADER* README* RCS CVS *,v *,t | 05:38 |
| dman | Creationist: not that i know of. mine was just random letters. | 05:38 |
| Creationist | dman: I want the art to be embedded in the MP3, though, so when I tranfer it to my mp3 player, it works well. | 05:38 |
| squidly | pajamian: ubuntu actually saved my old boss several times from him self :D | 05:38 |
| pajamian | neeto: if you were to take out the .??* then it would list hidden files and directories | 05:38 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: i mean gpu model, not pciid | 05:38 |
| alexkreuz | let me elaborate, while this gives me quick access, from the file manager it still doesn't show up as a "Mapped Drive" | 05:38 |
| Genius16 | alexkreus: i know there is in KDE but im not so sure in gnome. id assume there is a similar way to, but im only familiar with KDE | 05:38 |
| alexkreuz | i see thanks for the help though | 05:38 |
| italys | why isn't alsaconf included with edgy even though alsa-utils is installed? | 05:38 |
| alexkreuz | i appreciate it | 05:38 |
| neopsyche | seacat: dpkg error cannot acccess archive | 05:38 |
| alexkreuz | this is good enough for now | 05:38 |
| Creationist | dman: Hmm... even fetching a cover from Amazon doesn't apply it to the entire album. | 05:38 |
| jetscreamer | alsaconf is in alsa0utils | 05:38 |
| jetscreamer | - | 05:38 |
| lanzelloth | Creationist: amarok? | 05:39 |
| italys | yes | 05:39 |
| en3r0 | anyone here use the boradcom43xx wireless card? | 05:39 |
| italys | i understand that | 05:39 |
| neopsyche | seacat: what do you want me to do with that package? | 05:39 |
| bazhang | is edgy still supported even? | 05:39 |
| Creationist | lanzelloth: Yeah | 05:39 |
| dman | Creationist: i'm not sure if Amarok does that. i think so, tho. You should try #amarok for experts | 05:39 |
| pajamian | squidly: cool, I have only been using ubuntu since feisty, but I've found it to be that good that I'm now recommending it and installing it on friends computers, etc. | 05:39 |
| italys | alsaconf doesn't exist | 05:39 |
| jetscreamer | hey you're not dman the famous mapper are you | 05:39 |
| Creationist | Maybe I'll stop using amarok... I always have problems with it. | 05:39 |
| dman | jetscreamer: not that i know of. who is he? | 05:39 |
| lanzelloth | Creationist: i think sometimes it lags, the cover thing | 05:39 |
| squidly | pajamian: same here. I started with 6.02 (i think) and have been useing it ever since. | 05:39 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Install it, dpkg -i should install it. Did you get an error? | 05:39 |
| luckyshot | hey guys, i just installed ubuntu on an iBook G4 and realize there is no word processing application pre installed suchas openoffice etc. Can someone tell me how to install this? | 05:39 |
| nuffin | jetscreamer (rev 22) | 05:40 |
| squidly | I've been giveing it to friends to use. though my gf gets a kde desktop on my system | 05:40 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Did you first download the file? | 05:40 |
| ethan961 | luckyshot, there should be | 05:40 |
| neopsyche | seacat: yes.. if i click on the .deb to install it i get an error | 05:40 |
| Creationist | luckyshot: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org | 05:40 |
| Genius16 | ethan961: i hope there is! | 05:40 |
| lanzelloth | Creationist: that'd be sad, amarok is prolly the best there is | 05:40 |
| italys | how do i get alsaconf installed | 05:40 |
| en3r0 | anyone here use the boradcom43xx wireless card? | 05:40 |
| seacat | neopsyche, dpkg -i kalva_0.8.90-1_i386.deb | 05:40 |

| Genius16 | luckyshot: if you would like to find the package manager (synaptic) in the menus you can search for open office | 05:40 |
| Creationist | lanzelloth: Well, it's the best idea there is.. .. but with killer bugs like I always seem to have, it's not a viable solution for me yet. | 05:41 |
| Genius16 | man im slow... oh wait, im drunk! | 05:41 |

| hi__ | hi! | 05:41 |
| squidly | pajamian: I stoped useing roothat back around rh5 | 05:41 |
| seacat | neopsyche, IF that does not work, you'll need to compile from source. But dpkg -i should do the job for you. | 05:41 |
| hi__ | how can i set the label of a vfat partition? | 05:41 |
| squidly | or was it rh6 | 05:41 |

| nuffin | hi__ from windows is prolly the best way | 05:42 |
| wers | squidly, how about celerons? | 05:42 |
| Genius16 | "been on RH and then FC before that" thought i was drunker than i should be am | 05:42 |
| squidly | hi__: you can use fdisk to do it but its a pain.. and I don't recomend it | 05:42 |
| squidly | wers: iirc they are 686 class cpus | 05:42 |
| mjw- | I believe i686 is used to refer to anything pentium pro or higher | 05:42 |

| squidly | Genius16: lol. I've done that when I needed to do some pen tesing | 05:50 |
| lnknpk04 | hey seacat, I finished booting my box with the live cd (mine was only booting to a blank screen with a cursor). I can access all of my files, but I had a hunch based on my reading what the problem could be. | 05:51 |
| RyanPrior | I've got an NTFS external hard drive. Some folders cannot be deleted, always resulting in I/O errors. Is there some way I can force the folders to be deleted? If the drive has errors, is there some way I can fix them? | 05:51 |
| neopsyche | Genius16: er.. right | 05:51 |
| Peddy | can somebody *please* help me with screen refresh rates | 05:51 |
| Genius16 | squidly: i know its me... but what? im lost:(\ | 05:51 |
| neopsyche | seacat: thanks for the help | 05:51 |
| nuffin | mjw- ok. but why not use 24 bit colour ? | 05:51 |
| RyanPrior | !patience | Peddy | 05:51 |
| ubotu | Peddy: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:51 |
| neopsyche | seacat: now.. back to the copiling | 05:51 |
| neopsyche | *compiling | 05:51 |
| squidly | Genius16: sorry. I've had multiple versions installed sideby side when I was doing penetration tests. (legal hacking) | 05:51 |
| lnknpk04 | with upgrades, if my linux headers were updated, could that have a negative impact on my grub menu.lst? | 05:51 |
| Peddy | RyanPrior: huh? | 05:51 |
| seacat | neopsyche, http://pastebin.ca/897085 | 05:52 |
| neopsyche | seacat: how do i fix those issues in compile? | 05:52 |
| mjw- | nuffin because the server may basically be running out of video memory in trying to enable acceleration | 05:52 |
| neopsyche | pk | 05:52 |
| neopsyche | ok | 05:52 |
| Peddy | OK | 05:52 |
| Genius16 | squidly: oh. yeah i was just being a dork. | 05:52 |
| Peddy | I won't say please then :P | 05:52 |
| nuffin | hmm could be i guess. | 05:52 |
| Peddy | can somebody help me with screen refresh rates? | 05:52 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Are you in USA? | 05:52 |
| squidly | Genius16: lol. over all its usualy a bigger pain then its worth | 05:52 |
| squidly | Peddy: what about refresh rates? | 05:52 |
| Genius16 | squidly: ive had multiple versions of the same program installed a bunch of times too. mostly its like "shit! how do i uninstall this SOB?" | 05:52 |
| Peddy | squidly I can only get mine up to 52 for some reason | 05:53 |
| squidly | Genius16: rotf. I've been there too.. or my favorate is "oh shit, it linked to the wrong version" | 05:53 |
| Peddy | squidly: I have an LCD monitor connecting with a DVI connection | 05:53 |
| neopsyche | seacat: pastebin doesnt show anyting | 05:53 |
| neopsyche | seacat: no | 05:53 |
| neopsyche | seacat: not in usa | 05:53 |
| squidly | Peddy: what video driver are you using? what vid card do you have? | 05:53 |
| Genius16 | peddy: what videocard and driver you using? | 05:54 |
| neopsyche | *anything | 05:54 |
| Peddy | squidly: I have the nvidia 8800 gts | 05:54 |
| Peddy | squidly: I am using restricted drivers | 05:54 |
| calamari | hi | 05:54 |
| squidly | Peddy: oh.. sounds like somehting in you xorg.conf is not set write | 05:54 |
| Peddy | squidly: installed through restricted-drivers manager* | 05:54 |
| Peddy | squidly: yeah | 05:54 |
| Peddy | squidly: should I paste it in a pastebin? | 05:54 |
| seacat | How does one find what repository a package comes from? | 05:54 |
| squidly | Peddy: one sec | 05:55 |
| Genius16 | squidly: you type too fast for me to beat you to it... so im just gonna suggest... magic. | 05:55 |
| mjw- | nuffin what do you get when you do: glxinfo | grep direct | 05:55 |
| Peddy | squidly: sure | 05:55 |
| squidly | Genius16: lol.. | 05:55 |
| nuffin | mjw- was i right about how much ram it has btw ? cause that's what M$ reports on it. | 05:55 |
| squidly | Peddy: ok /msg me your Section "Monitor" of your xorg.conf | 05:55 |
| Genius16 | seacat: thats an awesome question! i have no idea (other than searching ubuntu's page of packages) and would also like to know the answer! | 05:55 |
| Frogzoo | where's acroread gone? | 05:55 |
| squidly | Genius16: its called being on irc WAY to much :) | 05:55 |
| JohnMM | !info acroread | Frogzoo | 05:56 |
| nuffin | mjw- ummm right now. -root: glxinfo: command not found | 05:56 |
| ubotu | frogzoo: Package acroread does not exist in gutsy | 05:56 |
| Genius16 | squidly: yeah. this is like the 4th time in a year ive logged into ubuntu's irc... oh and im like pretty drunk. | 05:56 |
| squidly | Frogzoo: use xpdf. its works just as well | 05:56 |
| mjw- | nuffin it's split into 16M prefetchable and 16M non-prefetchable....so it is 32M, the way it's segregated like that makes me wonder if it's old enough that some of the memory may be for 3D textures only and can't be used otherwise | 05:56 |
| squidly | Genius16: perfet time to code then! | 05:56 |

| mouseboyx | great | 05:56 |
| squidly | Genius16: I come up with some really messed up solutions on when I was drunk | 05:56 |
| Frogzoo | squidly: I know, but I want acroread.. | 05:56 |
| squidly | Frogzoo: okies just an idea :D | 05:57 |
| luckyshot | how do install my 3D video drivers? and how do i know what video drivers i need too? | 05:57 |
| seacat | Genetics, Packages in question: kdelibs4c2 kdelibs4c2a | 05:57 |
| Peddy | squidly: what just happened? | 05:57 |
| RyanPrior | luckyshot: The Restricted Manager ought to be able to sort out your 3D drivers. | 05:57 |
| squidly | Peddy: you accidnetly flooded the chan | 05:57 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| RyanPrior | luckyshot: System -> Administration -> Restricted Manager | 05:57 |
| squidly | pastbin your config | 05:57 |
| mouseboyx | squidly, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Be3alRoxkOo | 05:57 |
| Vadi | If I boot off livecd, will I be able to size down my /home and make the root bigger? | 05:57 |
| nuffin | mjw- that might explain why my scrollback buffer is kinda short in console.... makes sense | 05:57 |
| * Peddy apologises to everyone for being an xchat noob | 05:57 | |
| luckyshot | RyanPrior, i am int hat window and my video card is not listed | 05:57 |
| luckyshot | does that mean all is good? | 05:58 |
| squidly | Peddy: heh.. no worries we all were there | 05:58 |
| jetscreamer | nuffin: have you 'tried' ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/71.86.04/ ? according to the driver selector thing on nvidia.com, that supports riva128 . that's why i was trying to find out your pci id, to see if it's listed, but... ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/71.86.04/README/README (app-a) APPENDIX A | 05:58 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ??? | 05:58 |
| Peddy | squidly: ok I'm just gonna use pastebin :P | 05:58 |
| squidly | mouseboyx: I LOVE THAT!!! | 05:58 |
| Genius16 | squidly: coding is too much like work to me. unless im programming a crawler to pull pr0n. haha | 05:58 |
| Peddy | squidly: http://pastebin.com/d72a7c2af | 05:58 |
| RyanPrior | Peddy: It's no problem! Welcome. If you do anything out of line, we'll tell you about it and stop crying pretty quick. :-) | 05:58 |
| squidly | mouseboyx: that saved my sanity when I was on hell desk :D | 05:58 |
| mjw- | nuffin you should have glxinfo (well, mesa) installed if you hope to have ANY OpenGL acceleration at all. apt-get install mesa-utils | 05:58 |
| squidly | Peddy: ok looing now | 05:58 |
| RyanPrior | luckyshot: In that case, it would appear that your video card is not supported. | 05:59 |
| mjw- | nuffin honestly you can pick up, say, a Geforce2MX for pennies used though, I wouldn't expend a lot of effort on such an old card | 05:59 |
| nuffin | mjw- k but htat will have to be some other time. i'm not installing x on this particular system. (several shoes here) | 05:59 |
| seacat | neopsyche, kdelibs4c2 and kdelibs4c2a are probably in universe repos | 05:59 |
| RyanPrior | luckyshot: Unless it's an Intel integrated graphics card, in which case you might not need a restricted driver. | 06:00 |
| neopsyche | OH | 06:00 |
| italys | so uh | 06:00 |
| italys | how do i get alsaconf installed | 06:00 |
| neopsyche | *oh | 06:00 |
| Peddy | squidly: when I select my monitor and connection in displayconfig-gtk it lets me choose 70hz | 06:00 |
| luckyshot | RyanPrior, im using an iBook G4 | 06:00 |
| Peddy | squidly: so when I hit ok, it just resets when I try and go back :-\ | 06:00 |
| Gemmers | I'm back hurrah | 06:00 |
| Gemmers | Um I've just downloaded ubuntu desktop version | 06:01 |
| Gemmers | There's no other version for my notebook is there | 06:01 |
| squidly | Peddy: well your config looks good. | 06:01 |
| seacat | neopsyche, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment lines that end in universe | 06:01 |
| neopsyche | seacat: whats the repo i need to add (universe) ? | 06:01 |
| RyanPrior | luckyshot: Ah, I don't know much about Mac hardware myself, so that's not useful to me, but it's a good thing to mention whenever you ask for helop. | 06:01 |
| seacat | neopsyche, I think so | 06:01 |
| mkquist | Gemmers: no | 06:01 |
| nuffin | mjw- actually this box had an ati card in it, that's why it now has my old standby riva ;/ | 06:01 |
| Blistok | Hey all. I have a hard drive that's going out that I want to directly clone to a new hard drive. How can I grab a byte-for-byte image of the drive and restore the image to a new one? Can I just cat /dev/drivedevice > driveimage? If so how do I restore it? | 06:01 |
| luckyshot | RyanPrior, okay thanks | 06:01 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Try it and see, | 06:01 |
| RyanPrior | luckyshot: Good luck. :-) | 06:01 |
| Peddy | squidly: and displayconfig-gtk shows it as 50hz? | 06:01 |
| squidly | what does nvidia-settings show? | 06:01 |
| * Gemmers wipes forehead | 06:01 | |
| pajamian | Blistok: not cat, dd | 06:02 |
| mjw- | nuffin Geforce2mx might be the cheapest option that will probably be fairly well supported. ;) | 06:02 |
| calamari | been trying to get a wireless adapter working.. got it.. but I had to stop my firewall. anyone know how to get firestarter to configure so that its settings apply to both eth0 and eth1, not just eth0? | 06:02 |
| seacat | neopsyche, and then: sudo apt-get install kdelibs4c2 kdelibs4c2a | 06:02 |
| Peddy | squidly: I mean its rather pointless buying a gfx card like that if you can only get like 40fps ^^ | 06:02 |
| squidly | Genius16: I like to code its fun. but then i'm a freak like that | 06:02 |
| neopsyche | seacat: ok.. i uncommented backports | 06:02 |
| nuffin | Blistok dd | 06:02 |
| squidly | Peddy: try commenting out the modelines and restarting X | 06:02 |
| Blistok | pajamian: ah. ok, looks like I have a manpage to read | 06:02 |
| pajamian | Blistok: dd if=/dev/foo of=driveimage.img | 06:02 |
| Blistok | pajamian: much easier. thanks! how do I restore that image file to the new drive? | 06:02 |
| nuffin | Blistok or dirrect with no image dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb | 06:03 |
| pajamian | Blistok: if dd dies saying it can't read a block or something add conv=noerror as well, it will copy in spite of the errors that way. | 06:03 |
| seacat | neopsyche, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment lines that end in universe (not backports) | 06:03 |
| Gemmers | does anyone here actually run ubuntu on their notebook | 06:03 |
| squidly | Peddy: did you get my pm? | 06:03 |
| CrazyPhil_ | Hello. How tu use ascii code in Ubuntu? Like Alt+1234. Thx | 06:03 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: you don't need backports, those sources you had were fine. What can't you find? | 06:03 |
| Roy | Gemmers: I do | 06:03 |
| pajamian | Blistok: other option, mount the drive and just a use cp-a | 06:03 |
| RyanPrior | Gemmers: I run Ubuntu on my notebook. | 06:03 |
| pajamian | Blistok: errr cp -a | 06:03 |
| squidly | im currently running at 70hz | 06:03 |
| mjw- | Gemmers : yes, on an ~2002 dell latitude c510 | 06:03 |
| Frogzoo | hey no acroread in the gutsy repos ?! - can only find the .deb from adobe's site...? | 06:04 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: E: Package kdelibs4c2 has no installation candidate | 06:04 |
| Gemmers | Roy, did you notice any difference in battery life | 06:04 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: http://pastebin.ca/897085 these were, anyway if they are yours | 06:04 |
| RyanPrior | Gemmers: The "Desktop" edition is also suitable for notebooks. It contains drivers for mobile graphics cards, wireless drivers, ACPI, and so on. | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | Frogzoo, its in medibuntu repos i beliuve | 06:04 |
| mkbernard | is it possible to have a samba share without hacing to login to the server? | 06:04 |
| RyanPrior | Gemmers: Often Ubuntu gets worse battery life than Windows due to less complete support for ACPI power saving features and power saving support in general. | 06:04 |
| Blistok | pajamian: ok, thank you... what's the reverse for that dd command? | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | mkbernard, you can set up all sorts of samba shares. Theres whole books on the topic. :) | 06:04 |
| neopsyche | seacat: universes are already uncommented | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | mkbernard, the samba-doc package has the html book 'using samba' thats worth a read for advanced samba ussage. | 06:05 |
| pajamian | Blistok: dd if=imagefile of=/cev/whatever | 06:05 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: it's kdelibs4c2a , you probably also will need kdelibs4-dev for compiling | 06:05 |
| pajamian | Blistok: or... | 06:05 |
| Gemmers | <RyanPrior> Gemmers: Often Ubuntu gets worse battery life than Windows due to less complete support for ACPI power saving features and power saving support in general. | that's my conern | 06:05 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: pastebin shows blank page | 06:05 |
| Roy | Gemmers: The battery standby time is longer than what I used to get when I ran Vista on it. | 06:05 |
| dover | well, tried memetest and it doesnt look like my memory's an issue | 06:05 |
| Adman1965 | Hey guys | 06:05 |
| Adman1965 | I have a simple question | 06:05 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: I copied that from your post earlier ;) | 06:05 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: no.. i have E: Package kdelibs4c2a i need the other one | 06:05 |
| dover | acould ANY piece of hardware keep ubuntu from even installing? | 06:05 |
| Gemmers | I wish it would be longer since ubuntu uses less resources | 06:05 |
| nuffin | Blistok command man dd :) | 06:05 |
| pajamian | Blistok: mount the image and copy the contents off of it, you can loopback mount the image with: mount -oloop imagefile /media/mountpoint | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | dover, ive heard of some machines/hardwares that do have issues. | 06:06 |
| mkbernard | does each user have to have an account on the box, or is there a way to add a username and password just for the smbd? | 06:06 |
| Roy | My battery stand-by time in Ubuntu is 2 and a half hour compared to 2 hours in Windows. | 06:06 |
| Blistok | pajamian: thanks! | 06:06 |
| neopsyche | seacat: what do we do now? | 06:06 |
| dover | so what did they do? | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | mkbernard, thers ways to have public samba shares. | 06:06 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: install kdelibs4-dev , it will pull in the matching binary | 06:06 |
| dover | they just dont install it? | 06:06 |
| Adman1965 | does anyone know a graphics card that will do 1600x1050 on 7.10? | 06:06 |
| dover | or get anotyher version of linux? | 06:06 |
| neopsyche | seacat: back to compiling... how / what must i do now? | 06:06 |
| leprasmurf | hello all...I'm about to go to bed, what is the most thorough scan of my system that I can run while I sleep? | 06:06 |
| Adman1965 | i am looking to make sure before i purchase | 06:06 |
| RyanPrior | Gemmers: Windows often uses a slew of tricks to improve battery life, which require special drivers to utilize fully. Often Ubuntu doesn't have support for those, so while it is in some ways more efficient than Windows, it is less able to take advantage of the special hardware features. | 06:06 |
| seacat | neopsyche, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and uncomment lines that end in restricted | 06:06 |
| RyanPrior | Gemmers: That's obviously a problem that's being worked on, but it is an honest problem right now. | 06:06 |
| mkbernard | adman, filesystem check | 06:06 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: restart at least 40 times and wait for a disc scan | 06:06 |
| pajamian | dover: it is technically possible for any piece of hardware to cause all sorts of strange and unpredictable problems. | 06:07 |
| lanzelloth | hi, how do i add 'start terminal here' in right click menu in nautilus? | 06:07 |
| Gemmers | soRoy how did you manage that | 06:07 |
| Adman1965 | I am thinking about a 7300LE | 06:07 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: I already did an fsck in single user mode | 06:07 |
| italys | when i try to compile alsa-utils, it can't find libasound even though it's installed | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | and edit the .bashrc to make the changes permenet | 06:07 |
| italys | any suggestions? | 06:07 |
| dover | man...some luck...lol my buddy says get ubuntu, its really easy to install, i doubt you'll have issues | 06:07 |
| dover | lol | 06:07 |
| Gemmers | Hey I'm not against ubuntu in any kind, hence I wouldn't be downloading it and trying to install it right now | 06:07 |
| CrazyPhil_ | Adman1965, most Nvidia card support this resolution, back to geforce 2-3. Ati you need a pretty recent one | 06:07 |
| ASTX813 | Anyone had experience connecting a Palm via Bluetooth? | 06:07 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: http://pastebin.ca/897085 weren't these yours? | 06:07 |
| Frogzoo | Dr_willis: aight thx | 06:07 |
| Oni-Dracula|lapp | does anyone know of a command line option for xawtv that allows one to set a camera's format (NTSC or PAL) | 06:07 |
| pajamian | dover: it usually is, but if you have bad hardware all bets are off. | 06:07 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: lol. yeah i mean if you're running linux you shouldnt need to run any scan for a typical user. | 06:07 |
| squidly | ASTX813: bluetooth is a pain imho. but nice once you get it running ;) | 06:07 |
| RyanPrior | !anyone | ASTX813 | 06:08 |
| ubotu | ASTX813: 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? | 06:08 |
| mkbernard | well what if i dont want it to be public per se, but just have the user account owned only by the samba process | 06:08 |
| Adman1965 | Cool. Thanks. | 06:08 |
| ASTX813 | Pain, indeed | 06:08 |
| pajamian | dover: what hardware do you have in your system? | 06:08 |
| Genius16 | metal and silicon! | 06:08 |
| mjw- | dover you didn't stick in an old XT hard disk controller for the heck of it did you? ;) | 06:08 |
| dover | mobo's a p4p800 | 06:08 |
| squidly | ok ive gotta run everyone | 06:08 |
| squidly | talk to you all later good luck and have a nice weekend | 06:08 |
| neopsyche | seacat: are uncommented except for backports | 06:08 |
| Gemmers | I need to upgrade my notebook ram first | 06:08 |
| Gemmers | And also there's a slot that looks like it's ram but I don't think it is | 06:08 |
| Roy | I kept the default settings Gemmers and it worked like a charm. | 06:08 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: not sure.. i cant see them | 06:08 |
| seacat | neopsyche, sudo apt-get install kdelibs4c2 kdelibs4c2a | 06:08 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: understood, but my system is kinda suffering from to many improper shutdowns. it keeps hanging on shutdown due to a bug in the wireless | 06:08 |
| dover | XT hardisk controller? | 06:08 |
| pajamian | dover: that's old, ubuntu can certainly run on it, but older hardware like that is more likely to have problems. | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. Whenever i copy styff over samba to my linux box. from the vista machine.. the network gets SOO slow/clogged that xming is Useless... odd. | 06:08 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: strange, I simply copied and pasted what you posted | 06:08 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: i need to install klava.. how is installing that 94+mb file going to help? | 06:08 |
| Gemmers | Perhaps it's VGA ram, but I don't think so | 06:09 |
| mjw- | dover just kidding... | 06:09 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: an automated scan wouldnt fix that. | 06:09 |
| neopsyche | *kalva | 06:09 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: you need to have the right libraries and headers to compile with | 06:09 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: earlier tonight I was experiencing major weirdness with connectivity and such, which prompted me to try some maintenance | 06:09 |
| neopsyche | nickrud: where? | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, still dident try that deb i built eh? :) | 06:09 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: you built a deb? | 06:09 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: where?! | 06:09 |
| ASTX813 | Well I've made no progress beyond getting the Palm listed as a trusted device in the bluetooth applet | 06:09 |
| _Oz_ | what's the trick for creating a multisided cube in compiz-fusion? I can only get one "pane" | 06:09 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: network weirdness? i love the internets and stuff. what was happeneing? this is wireless i take it? | 06:09 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: so I don't have to worry about random corruptions, or anything outside of the journal that might not be checked? | 06:09 |
| Gemmers | It's sort of like a RAM slot but not, perhaps it's for wireless | 06:09 |
| pajamian | dover: did you run the test from the boot menu to make sure the install CD is not corrupted? | 06:09 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: is that the .deb from the file share? | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, ive sent you 2 different fileshare and some other site links to the deb packages over the last hour. | 06:10 |
| nickrud | neopsyche: oh, seacat pasted for you, sorry | 06:10 |
| neopsyche | oh | 06:10 |
| dover | yeah | 06:10 |
| Peddy | squidly: are you still there? I restarted x | 06:10 |
| dover | i also checked the disc | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, the last one was not a fileshare. it was some other place. :) | 06:10 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: yeah, wireless. I used to think it was 'cause of wpa_supplicant, but I disabled wpa on my home wifi and it still happens | 06:10 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: i thought that was the original deb i downloaded earlier from another source | 06:10 |
| squidly | Peddy: yea for a sec | 06:10 |
| pajamian | dover: how old is the cd rom drive on the box you're installing onto? | 06:10 |
| squidly | did that fix it for you? | 06:10 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: id say if you're having a problem with the inner-nut-webs its not going to effect your system as a whole. | 06:10 |
| Peddy | nope | 06:10 |
| dover | hmm.....maybe 2 years | 06:10 |
| squidly | Peddy: hmm.. | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, why would i send you that one. :P | 06:10 |
| neopsyche | Dr_Willis: is this yoru new deb? .. http://www.load.to/?d=2FDgvRKuti | 06:11 |
| pajamian | dover: not too bad, how old is the motherboard/cpu (the p4/800?) | 06:11 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: whenever I connect to my home wireless, and subsequently try to shutdown my computer, the shutdown scripts start to run, but hang with some error I have written down somewhere | 06:11 |
| Peddy | squidly: I set it in displayconfig-gtk, it appears to be working, but when I open the program again its still 50 | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, looks like it. | 06:11 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: what problem are you having? what are the symptoms? also what wifi card do you have? | 06:11 |
| dover | id say thats about.....4-5 years | 06:11 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: and the only way to fully shutdown at that point is to do a hard shutdown | 06:11 |
| Peddy | squidly: for some reason there is no profile that loads? does this happen for you? | 06:11 |
| pajamian | dover: ok, well, how much RAM do you have? | 06:11 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: message me the error message? | 06:11 |
| FY1 | what is the default root password? I've never had to SU until now, and I don't remember setting one when I installed ubuntu | 06:12 |
| leprasmurf | Genius16: hang on, gotta find it | 06:12 |
| dover | 1g | 06:12 |
| Genius16 | leprasmurf: or spit it out here whatevers. | 06:12 |
| squidly | Peddy: nope. | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | FY1, there is none. | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | !root | FY1 | 06:12 |
| ubotu | FY1: 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 | 06:12 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: after clicking download .. it takes me to a page to uplaod.. | 06:12 |
| pajamian | dover: that should be plenty, hrmmm .... | 06:12 |
| Peddy | squidly: ok | 06:12 |
| dover | yeah...i know lol | 06:12 |
| FY1 | that's gay | 06:12 |
| FY1 | :-p | 06:12 |
| FY1 | oh well | 06:12 |
| FY1 | thanks | 06:12 |
| pajamian | dover: what about the power supply? how old is that? | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | FY1, no its not. | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:12 |
| FY1 | Maybe some people like the power of SU | 06:12 |
| jesenko | i'm sorry complete noob with IRQ here just have one question if i have any problems is this the place to come to find out the answer | 06:12 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: can you put it on a public ftp? | 06:13 |
| Genius16 | su > sudo | 06:13 |
| dover | hmmm...i think its as old as the mobo, if not it would be a bit less | 06:13 |
| FY1 | don't assume everyone is linux newbie | 06:13 |
| Peddy | squidly: do you have any idea what might be happening? | 06:13 |
| mjw- | !justask | jesenko | 06:13 |
| ubotu | jesenko: 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. :-) | 06:13 |
| FY1 | and they won't delete shit that's needed | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | FY1, its still there.. aparently you dont know know enough linux to see the obvious way to enable it. | 06:13 |
| neopsyche | seacat: i have uncommented. | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | FY1, do what you want. This is linux. | 06:13 |
| squidly | Peddy: not off the top of my head. and I'm sorry I wont be around i've gotta run to my gf's | 06:13 |
| Peddy | squidly: ok have fun ^^ | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, the download worked for me. I just waited the 4 sec. and clicked on download. :0 | 06:13 |
| dover | prob a bit less, im pretty sure i switched cases after i had already built this system | 06:13 |
| squidly | Peddy: sorry. | 06:14 |
| Peddy | can someone please help me to set my screen refresh rate? | 06:14 |
| Peddy | squidly: np | 06:14 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: doesnt want to work fo rme | 06:14 |
| nickrud | FY1: or, you haven't heard of sudo -i | 06:14 |
| Peddy | squidly: thanks for helping so far :0 | 06:14 |
| pajamian | dover: well, everything seems to be fine in the specs you're giving me, but it is always possible that something is failing and you don't know about it. | 06:14 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: could you email it? | 06:14 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, you got bigger issues then. :) | 06:14 |
| Genius16 | squidly: whats the 411 on his refresh prob? | 06:14 |
| squidly | Peddy: but fyi the nvidia drivers do set automaticaly for the screen resolution you have | 06:14 |
| Peddy | squidly: even if displayconfig-gtk doesn't think so? | 06:14 |
| squidly | Genius16: its running at 50hz running the nvidia drivers.. and he wants to push it up | 06:14 |
| jesenko | did anyone get this wireless card working or do they have a way to fix it the forums don't have nothing that work my lsusb display is this: Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 06:15 |
| dover | could it be something as stupid as having 2 soundcards and 2 lan cards or somethinng like that? | 06:15 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, try that dcc send. | 06:15 |
| dover | my onboard lan stopped working a few months ago so i bought a seperate lan card | 06:15 |
| mjw- | ugh, 50Hz refresh, now there's ripe slice of hell for you. | 06:15 |
| squidly | Peddy: my drivers do change when I change resoltuion automagickly | 06:15 |
| neopsyche | dcc send | 06:15 |
| Roy | I have the same issue, I have the nVidia chip and I want my refresh rate from 50 hz to 60 hz | 06:15 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: dcc send? | 06:15 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: im using chatzilla.. cant see dcc | 06:15 |
| Peddy | squidly: what do you mean your drivers change? | 06:15 |
| hotmonkeyluv | is there a recommended utility/program that can cycle through a folder of pictures and make them the desktop? | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, you may want to start using xchat | 06:16 |
| pajamian | dover: if your onboard lan has failed then it is not unreasonable to assume that something else on your motherboard may be failing as well. | 06:16 |
| pajamian | dover: however... | 06:16 |
| dover | yeah | 06:16 |
| squidly | when I change resoltuions or an applicaion chagnes my resolution the refresh rate gets reset for me | 06:16 |
| neopsyche_ | Dr_willis: please dcc now | 06:16 |
| pajamian | dover: did you properly disable the onboard lan in the CMOS setup or did you just leave it and toss another card in? | 06:16 |
| Peddy | squidly: oic resolution | 06:16 |
| dover | still dont understand how windows NEVER gives me problems, but i install ubuntu and it just wont install | 06:16 |
| Peddy | squidly: but refresh rates are different :P | 06:17 |
| squidly | you could try chagne the line HorixSync to 60 | 06:17 |
| neopsyche_ | Dr_willis: im in xchat now | 06:17 |
| squidly | Peddy: yes | 06:17 |
| neopsyche_ | Dr_willis: can you send the file now/ | 06:17 |
| neopsyche_ | ? | 06:17 |
| jesenko | did anyone get this wireless card working or do they have a way to fix it the forums don't have nothing that work my lsusb display is this: Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. | 06:17 |
| squidly | like right now i'm at 1440x900 and 70hz | 06:17 |
| Ashfire908 | what is a good samba admin tool? | 06:17 |
| CrazyPhil_ | squidly> I have experience low refresh rate problem in the past. It was cause by a bad recognition of my screen specifications (horizontal and vertical HZ) in the xorg.conf file. | 06:17 |
| mjw- | jesenko you might want to try searching the ubuntu forums for the specific make and model of your usb wireless card. speaking from experience support for realtek usb wireless is tricky right now | 06:17 |
| dover | i should go check ou my cmos i guess | 06:17 |
| dover | make sure its disabled | 06:17 |
| Peddy | squidly: lcd monitor? | 06:17 |
| squidly | CrazyPhil_: or the edi from the monitor | 06:17 |
| squidly | Peddy: yes | 06:17 |
| dover | cause if ubuntu is trying to install driver for something that doesnt work... | 06:18 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: can you send file to my other id? | 06:18 |
| Peddy | squidly: what drivers are you using? nv or nvidia or what? | 06:18 |
| jesenko | mjw i tried mo luck nobody got it working there and one person that has it didn't work | 06:18 |
| pajamian | dover: yes, make sure it is properly disabled, also I would remove the 2nd sound card just to be safe (you can always try adding it back in later) | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | i dont even know if i can send. :) been years since i tried. | 06:18 |
| squidly | the nvidia drivers | 06:18 |
| mjw- | dover or it might be trying to poke the lan controller or enable it and it's hanging the system | 06:18 |
| squidly | I dont like the nv drivers.. | 06:18 |
| dover | well one is onboard and the other one is a seperate sound blaster | 06:18 |
| angel | hey all, my cd/dvd drive isnt mounting properly can anyone give me a hand? | 06:18 |
| Peddy | squidly: I'm gonna try set the res in the nvidia utility | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, could try http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=457460 | 06:18 |
| squidly | Peddy: that usualy works well | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, i found 15 other file-shareing sites. :) | 06:19 |
| Peddy | squidly: refresh* | 06:19 |
| squidly | Peddy: yes | 06:19 |
| dover | well, ill probably see you all soon again lol, ill go check my cmos and try to install again after | 06:19 |
| dover | thx | 06:19 |
| pajamian | dover: well either disable the onboard in the cmos or remove the soundblaster. Like I said, you cna always put it back later, but you want to try to eliminate problems now to see what is really causing it. | 06:19 |
| Peddy | squidly: isn't the refresh rate meant to depend on the monitor, not the gfx card? | 06:19 |
| neopsyche | Dr_willis: thanks.. is downloading? | 06:19 |
| neopsyche | * | 06:19 |
| neopsyche | thanks | 06:19 |
| squidly | Peddy: its dependent on both. | 06:19 |

| lnknpk04 | hey folks, my gutsy desktop wont boot. just sits at a blank screen with a cursor. I can boot into live cd and even did a grub reinstall to doublecheck that it wasn't grub. any other ideas? | 06:20 |
| squidly | Peddy: that is odd. | 06:21 |
| _Oz_ | why are you opposed to it? | 06:21 |
| marx2k_ | Damnit, the Flash install script keeps uninstalliung itself with every aptitude update I do | 06:21 |
| pajamian | _Oz_: it can cause problems down the road. Besides you really don't need it for anything. | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, yep.. it has been known to totally trash systems befor. And you dont want to get started on the 'personal conflicts' of the maker. and his 'critics; | 06:21 |
| marx2k_ | I have to keep reinstalling it | 06:21 |
| marx2k_ | pissing me off... | 06:21 |
| Peddy | squidly: yeah | 06:21 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, how many hard drives do u have? | 06:21 |
| _Oz_ | oh well. I already ran it. | 06:21 |
| _Oz_ | it seems fine though. | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, lets just say that it really dosent do anything that just setting up the medibuntu repo dosent allready do | 06:21 |
| squidly | Peddy: try reinstalling the drivers they may have not installed right | 06:21 |

| Dr_willis | _Oz_, the operative word is 'legal reasons' :) for all this song and dance. | 06:26 |
| roddersg | anglel, you must look for the /etc/fstab, missing first "/" | 06:26 |

| roddersg | yes you do | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | I wonder how adduser differes from useradd | 06:29 |
| === santri is now known as co_caem_kedingin | ||
| winter-mute | really annoying | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis | toker, theres a gui somewhere inubuntu.. but i can type the command faster then i can find the menu item | 06:29 |
| roddersg | after that, try mounting your cdrom again | 06:29 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Ok, good. | 06:29 |
| neopsyche | Dr_WIllis: some of the tabs seem to be mission | 06:29 |
| neopsyche | *missing | 06:29 |
| neopsyche | seacat: hmm.. some of the tabs in kalva seem to be missing | 06:29 |
| Flannel | Dr_willis, toker, pajamian, adduser is friendlier, it uses useradd as a backend for some stuff, and adds sane defaults for a lot of the values | 06:29 |
| toker | Dr_willis, yes I know what you mean.. I can't find it anywhere. | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis | neopsyche, no idea. Could be some support files/stuff you need. it ran.. and i closed the app.. is all i did with it. | 06:29 |
| lanzelloth | hi guys, is it more useful to learn phyton or shell scripts? | 06:29 |
| neopsyche | i see ;-) | 06:29 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, ive had issues where sometimes itll tell me hd1,0 etc but it may be hd0 or hd2 etc | 06:30 |
| roddersg | anyone know the command to restore the .Desktop folder? | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | Flannel, heck - i rember a 'superadduser' under some disrto. :) | 06:30 |
| toker | ok I added the user I think.. how do I check.. and how do I set thier password? | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | toker, sudo passwd username | 06:30 |
| sayers | Hello I am having troubles lowering the brightness of the screen | 06:30 |
| Flannel | roddersg: .Desktop? ~/Desktop is your desktop, not ~/.Desktop | 06:30 |
| winter-mute | whoops :) css installed | 06:30 |
| angel | roddersg, still not letting me edit it. | 06:30 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Dr_willis Were dependencies kdelibs4c2 & kdelibs4c2a resolved? | 06:30 |
| lanzelloth | sayers: kubuntu? | 06:30 |
| sayers | lanzelloth: no | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | seacat, i proberly had them allready installed.. I got tons-o-stuff installed on this machine | 06:31 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, so id try editing the menu.list | 06:31 |
| neopsyche | seacat: no | 06:31 |
| pajamian | sayers: sounds more like you need a monitor repair shop than #ubuntu | 06:31 |
| toker | ok Thanks for the help.. I guess I am gonna see if I can log in now with that account :) | 06:31 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, have you encountered any problems of this kind after doing an update? I have seen some threads suggesting this and this happened right after a required restart from an update | 06:31 |
| seacat | Dr_willis, Ok, very well. | 06:31 |
| neopsyche | seacat: so should i still try install them | 06:31 |
| neopsyche | ? | 06:31 |
| sayers | pajamian: no the monitor works fine, its that the function key on the laptop does not work | 06:31 |
| _Oz_ | on one computer, I am installing medibuntu. on the other, I have gone with automatix2. I will compare. | 06:31 |
| lanzelloth | pajamian: sayers, i can lower my screen brightness in ubuntu but it doesn't work in kde | 06:31 |
| neopsyche | seacat: perhpas that will solve the problem of missing buttons | 06:31 |
| roddersg | Flannel correct, just modified xserver.xorg and need to restore it | 06:31 |
| seacat | neopsyche, Ask Dr_willis | 06:31 |
| neopsyche | ;-) | 06:31 |
| neopsyche | Thanks for you help seacat | 06:32 |
| seacat | neopsyche, I dono | 06:32 |
| roddersg | angel - you have to be root to edit the fstab | 06:32 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, did u do setup (hd0) or something like setup (hd0,0)? | 06:32 |
| Dr_willis | I compiled the program.. thats it. end of my responsability | 06:32 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:32 |
| seacat | neopsyche, NP | 06:32 |
| dragon | join #winehq | 06:32 |
| angel | roddersg, yeah i have a sudo password. | 06:32 |
| Dr_willis | I dont even have a tv tuner installed any more to test it out. | 06:32 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: yeah. for cereals | 06:32 |
| lnknpk04 | the setup command was 'setup(hd0) | 06:32 |
| nickrud | _Oz_: depending on what you install with automatix, you may or not have problems at upgrade to next release. That seems to be where the problems usually crop up. | 06:32 |
| pajamian | sayers: ahhh, ok, I'm sure there's an app for it, but I don't know myself. | 06:32 |
| roddersg | what cereals? | 06:33 |
| Terrasqu1 | anyone have any experience with the hardy alpha? Is it usable in normal day to day use? | 06:33 |
| sayers | pajamian: is there a way to act like im using that key | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, thers not to medibuntu to install. :) You just set up the repository and install the extra packages you want. | 06:33 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, if u did setup (hd0,0) not good it installs the bootloader in the partition and not the mbr | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis | not much to medibutnu to install.. i mean. :) | 06:33 |
| pajamian | sayers: sorry, I don't now. I've not had to adjust the brightness on my laptop and normally use a desktop. | 06:33 |
| roddersg | angel - if you are on GUI then try typing "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" in a terminal window, you may need to enter your password | 06:33 |
| angel | thanks | 06:33 |
| * nickrud just uses the codecs and dvdcss, cherry pick debs without setting up a repo | 06:33 | |
| lnknpk04 | i def. did setup (hd0) b/c i was reading the commands off of the browser in the live cd | 06:34 |
| sayers | pajamian: well its a I want better battery life thing, powertop is supposed to help | 06:34 |
| Peddy | squidly: thanks for the help, nvidia-settings fixed my problem (even though the other progs are still displaying otherwise) but I can tell the difference. Bye. | 06:34 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, i'm very paranoid about triple checking that sort of thing when working in CL | 06:34 |
| dover | pajamian? | 06:34 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, what are your drives sata or ata ?? | 06:34 |
| pajamian | sayers: I understand, I'm sure there are ways to do it, probably a howto for laptops somewhere, but I don't know personally. | 06:34 |
| lnknpk04 | 1 drive, sata | 06:34 |
| pajamian | dover: yes? | 06:34 |
| dover | thanks | 06:35 |
| dover | i went and disabled all my onboard crap | 06:35 |
| dover | and it actually loads | 06:35 |
| dover | so either my onboard sound or lan was screwing it up | 06:35 |
| dover | nothing was disabled tohugh | 06:35 |
| pajamian | dover: cool, glad I could help. | 06:35 |
| mjw- | dover: huzzah | 06:35 |
| dover | sweet | 06:35 |
| dover | no im gonna format re-install both windows and ubuntu | 06:36 |
| pajamian | dover: good luck | 06:36 |
| dover | thanks every1 | 06:36 |
| dover | personaly, i hope i dont ever have to talk to you again lol | 06:36 |
| dover | no offence ;) | 06:36 |
| Genius16 | i hate installing windows. | 06:36 |
| pajamian | dover: LoL, I understand, but we're here in case you need us. | 06:36 |
| Genius16 | it takes like 6 hours to get it installed and up to date. | 06:36 |
| nickrud | dover: if you never _have_ to, wonderful :) | 06:37 |
| Genius16 | and like 538 reboots | 06:37 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, because it seems that ubuntu is change its kernel to be a new sata system kernel so name conventions are different | 06:37 |
| dover | thanks again | 06:37 |
| dover | see ya | 06:37 |
| pajamian | Genius16: LoL | 06:37 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: can you tell i just reinstalled windows yesterday? | 06:37 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, thats lovely :). Is that a very recent change? | 06:37 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: or the day before. i dunno. my mom had spyware so i had to make a house call. | 06:37 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, after i did an fdisk -l it still showed the same name as before | 06:37 |
| pajamian | Genius16: I haven't installed windoze in ages, stopped using it quite a while ago. | 06:37 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, at least, i believe it did | 06:38 |
| roddersg | anyone knows why WINE freezes when I try to open a file in a WINE application? | 06:38 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, try changing the bios to boot a different hard drive first grub may be in one of the other hard drives | 06:38 |
| pajamian | Genius16: and you couldn't talk her into trying ubuntu? | 06:38 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: here here... word. and stuff. | 06:38 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, only one HD | 06:38 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: i didnt even try. i just said if her husband goes lookin for porn again im stealing her laptop | 06:38 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, that HD has 3 partitions. Sorry if i wasnt clear previously | 06:38 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: she's actually pretty good. she's never herself contracted spyware, just when her husband gets on her computer. i wont touch his computer... im afraid it will infect me. | 06:39 |
| pajamian | Genius16: I usually ask them what they do with thier computer and tell them if it can/can't be done in ubuntu, then I offer to install it for them and configure it, etc and tell them if it doesn't work out they can always switch back to windoze. | 06:39 |
| pajamian | Genius16: so far I haven't had to switch anyone back to windoze yet. | 06:40 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: yeah preaching to the choir | 06:40 |
| angel | roddersg, hey, question. i dont even have a floppy drive do i even need a mount point for it? | 06:40 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: i got my friend of years and years, hardcore windows dude (even liked microsoft) to finally dual boot. | 06:40 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, ive had a problem in debian sid it writes to the menu.list (hd0,0) but really its (hd2,0) on my machine | 06:41 |
| pajamian | Genius16: yeah, I know, just saying how I approach people to switch them over. I will always wait until a re-install is needed as I figure that's the best time to get them to agree to try it. | 06:41 |
| angel | roddersg, couldnt i just delete that whole line? | 06:41 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, going to go try it now. thats just plain weird ;) | 06:41 |
| roddersg | angel - if you don't have a floppy drive, just delete that line | 06:41 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: the best part about telling them what you can/cant do in *nix is you dont have to say "no" much. | 06:41 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, let you know how it goes! | 06:41 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, good luck | 06:41 |
| roddersg | angel - you could comment it out too | 06:41 |
| angel | roddersg, i dont ever plan on having one. i dont even know a place that sells em here. | 06:42 |
| Genius16 | ok. im "the room is spinning" drunk. | 06:42 |
| Genius16 | who needs help? | 06:42 |
| _Oz_ | I don't totally "get" what medibuntu is. | 06:42 |
| _Oz_ | I followed the instructions and used the terminal to... get it somehow. | 06:42 |
| _Oz_ | now what? | 06:42 |
| _Oz_ | where are the apps? | 06:42 |
| angel | roddersg, ok now when i try to mount it says "mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist" | 06:42 |
| roddersg | Genius16 - how about WINE? Its freezing when i try to access the filesystem | 06:42 |
| Genius16 | _Oz_: isnt it a repo with all kinds of bad ass shit for videos and stuff? | 06:42 |
| lanzelloth | _Oz_: did you get an .iso? | 06:43 |
| _Oz_ | genius: yes. what's a repo? | 06:43 |
| _Oz_ | lanz: no | 06:43 |
| pajamian | Genius16: yep, I haven't yet. Last one was using skype and didn't tell me when I initially asked her what she does with it. It was good though because skype runs on Linux, but she was a bit disappointed that it didn't have webcam support yet, but she is fine with waiting for skype to add it to the linux version. | 06:43 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: how are you accessing the filesystem? which filesystem exactly? | 06:43 |
| astro76 | _Oz_: I usually just need w32codecs and libdvdcss2 from there, if you want to see what's in it open up Synaptic, and click on the Origin tab | 06:43 |
| pajamian | _Oz_: the apps will be in synaptic now along with all the other apps available for ubuntu. | 06:43 |
| _Oz_ | ah | 06:43 |
| _Oz_ | thank you. | 06:43 |
| Genius16 | _Oz_: a repo is a place where programs go to be happy and merry with linux. its a great land that makes it easy for us to install them. | 06:43 |
| roddersg | Genius16 - normal WINE installation, progs work etc. but when I do a file open, wine freezes | 06:44 |
| _Oz_ | so it seems like I should be using synaptic more than the ol' "add and remove" under applications. | 06:44 |
| astro76 | _Oz_: yes I believe add/remove only shows gui software | 06:44 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: like you're running notepad and you go "file---open" and BLAM! your poo gets sexed? | 06:44 |
| pajamian | _Oz_: add and remove is fine, but synaptic works better. They should be in add and remove as well. | 06:44 |
| roddersg | Genius - correct | 06:44 |
| roddersg | thought it was the nvidia driver but that's not it | 06:45 |
| roddersg | angel - can you type that fstab line again | 06:45 |
| Genius16 | _Oz_: yeah add/remove is just a few of the wonderous programs that are in the repos. add/remove is cool though, if you dont want to go to "advanced" mode and by that i mean "noob" mode. if you're still using add/remove you're gonna learn a bit. | 06:45 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, how many operating system do u have on your machine?? | 06:45 |
| _Oz_ | what's a better description of a repository? | 06:45 |
| _Oz_ | not sure I conceptually "get it" | 06:45 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: i dont know why it'd be a display driver. have you ran "notepad" in console and crashed it to get what errors wine is giving? thats the easy way | 06:46 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, heres a weird result. i changed the info in menu.lst from hd(0,0) to hd(1,0) and this time instead of a blank screen with a cursor the grub menu actually came up, but gives Error 25 | 06:46 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, i only have gutsy | 06:46 |
| david_J | I have a laptop in which I bought a wireless keyboard and mouse combo... | 06:46 |
| david_J | Do I need seperate entries in the Xorg.conf for the wireless stuff? | 06:46 |
| astro76 | !repositories | _Oz_ | 06:47 |
| ubotu | _Oz_: 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 | 06:47 |
| roddersg | Genius16: Ok, just opened notepad, just opend a file and it freezed, no messages on the terminal window | 06:47 |
| CVD-PR | notepad? | 06:47 |
| CaptainMorgan | 06:47 | |
| ubotu | pdf is the Portable Document Format created by Adobe; viewable in GNU/Linux with xpdf/kpdf/evince, and also adobe reader (free download, but closed source) | 06:47 |
| roddersg | Genius16: After a whle it says "Open" not responding | 06:47 |
| CVD-PR | 06:48 | |
| roddersg | Genius16: can type in stuff and save the file though | 06:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | what's a good pdf app for ubuntu? the default is not capable of keeping open multiple pdf's... | 06:48 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: and you ran notepad by running int he terminal "wine /home/#USERNAME/.wine/drive_c/windows/notepad.exe" | 06:48 |
| CaptainMorgan | err - in one window that is | 06:48 |
| angel | roddersg,“E325: attention, found a swap file by the name "etc/.fstab.swp" | 06:48 |
| roddersg | nope, just did a wine notepad | 06:48 |
| Genius16 | if so, did you install wine through the repos? or compile from souce with any "modifications" to the code? | 06:49 |
| _Oz_ | thanks, astro. | 06:49 |
| roddersg | angel - you have not closed your fstab file | 06:49 |
| angel | roddersg, i see nothing about it open | 06:49 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: well er that works too. that whole "wine notepad" | 06:49 |
| roddersg | wine is through repos (dapper 6.06-2) | 06:49 |
| pajamian | roddersg: have you tried it with a fresh .wine directory? | 06:49 |
| adub | i need to install glib | 06:49 |
| adub | what do i need to apt-get to install this | 06:49 |
| Genius16 | roddersg: didnt want you to be running notepad and opening a terminal. | 06:49 |
| roddersg | yes I have pajaminan | 06:49 |
| pajamian | roddersg: ok, what version of wine are you running? | 06:49 |
| Genius16 | the drunk in me says "what havent you done to fix it?" | 06:50 |
| roddersg | wine 0.9.9 | 06:50 |
| angel | roddersg, should i just delete the swp file? | 06:50 |
| pajamian | roddersg: that is really old | 06:50 |
| roddersg | angel, your fstab file is still open in your editor, close it | 06:50 |
| Genius16 | pajamian: he is running 6.06 | 06:50 |
| roddersg | pajamian - I agree, i was running 7.04 amd64 and downgraded. wine ran ok in 7.04 | 06:50 |
| Genius16 | i have to jew-a-nate. i mean pee. | 06:51 |
| roddersg | the latest version from WineHQ is even worse, so I re-installed from the repos | 06:51 |
| pajamian | roddersg: goto www.winehq.org and follow the instructions for installing wine into your version of ubuntu, you will get the latest version of wine direct fromt he source. | 06:51 |
| angel | roddersg, i have no idea whats going on there. i see no other versions of it running | 06:51 |
| roddersg | pajamian - done that, that version is even worse, it wouldn't let me save it | 06:52 |
| pajamian | roddersg: you probably need to file a bug with winehq, then. | 06:52 |
| roddersg | strange, but I can still save my files, just can't open and browse the directories | 06:52 |
| astro76 | Genius16: excuse me? | 06:52 |
| roddersg | thought it was the alsa etc but that didn't work either | 06:52 |
| Genius16 | astro76: im drunk? yeah thats the only explination. | 06:52 |
| pajamian | roddersg: or at least ask in a wine-specific channel. | 06:52 |
| _Oz_ | what exactly is happening with "apt-get"? | 06:52 |
| _Oz_ | what is that doing, precisely? | 06:53 |
| _Oz_ | !apt-get | 06:53 |
| ubotu | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 06:53 |
| astro76 | Genius16: keep it clean and non-offensive or I suggest giving it a rest for the night | 06:53 |
| lnknpk04 | what directories in my filesystem would i need to copy to be able to retain my installed programs after a reinstall. My /home is already on another partition | 06:53 |
| roddersg | was trying to get the wine-specific channel, do you have that handy? | 06:53 |
| pajamian | _Oz_: apt-get is like a command line version of synaptic. | 06:53 |
| _Oz_ | ah | 06:53 |
| bullgard4 | [dhelp] Will dhelp search all html files in my Ubuntu computer or only documentation html files? | 06:53 |
| Genius16 | astro76: i could have said "you-a-nate" but thats not nearly as funny. | 06:53 |
| mouseboyx | pajamian, the synaptic is like a gui version of apt-get... | 06:53 |
| pajamian | roddersg: at a guess I would say #wine, but I really don't know. | 06:53 |
| astro76 | !ops | Genius16 | 06:53 |

| pajamian | mouseboyx: wow, you figured that out, heh? | 06:54 |
| mouseboyx | lol What came first the chicken or the egg? | 06:54 |
| roddersg | angel - what's happening, is your system ok yet? I'm about to pop to winehq | 06:54 |
| pajamian | mouseboyx: I put it that way because he knew what synaptic was already. | 06:54 |
| mouseboyx | I know i was just giving you a hard time pajamian | 06:55 |
| angel | roddersg, no it is not fine yet. i have one etc/.fstab.swp that i dont need. how do i get rid of it. i have no open editors | 06:55 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, did i stump you? | 06:55 |
| roddersg | angel do a sudo rm /etc/.fstab.swo | 06:55 |
| astro76 | angel: just delete it, you'll need sudo: sudo rm /etc/.fstab.swp | 06:55 |
| roddersg | angel do a sudo rm /etc/.fstab.swp | 06:55 |
| roddersg | angel, here is my line from the /etc/fstab --> /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 | 06:56 |
| angel | roddersg, that got rid of those pesky buggers | 06:56 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04 no how many Oses do u have on the machine? | 06:56 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, only one, Gutsy | 06:57 |
| roddersg | angel: mind you I have a dvd rom, and there is a link from /media/cdrom to /media/cdrom0 | 06:57 |
| angel | roddersg, mine is a cd dvd rom | 06:57 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, was it loaded at one time on a different partion?? | 06:57 |
| roddersg | angel: also, my cdrom is on the 2nd IDE interface as master | 06:57 |
| roddersg | angel: where is your cdrom located? | 06:58 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, no. Nothing has changed since initial install | 06:58 |
| angel | roddersg, same cable as my hard drive, second plug | 06:58 |
| roddersg | ok, then use /dev/hdb instead | 06:58 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, hmmm weird | 06:58 |
| pajamian | angel: that's known as primary=slave, fyi. | 06:58 |
| angel | pajamian, dont i get enough bonus points for being a girl? | 06:59 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, yeah. Since my /home is on a separate partition, think i should try reinstalling the OS? I just dont want to lose my installed programs | 06:59 |
| pajamian | angel: :-) | 06:59 |
| xst | Help! When I tried to boot this morning I got a "GRUB ERROR 18". I usually don't have any problems on booting. What to do?! | 07:00 |
| angel | roddersg, ok im trying it. | 07:00 |
| angel | roddersg, still doesnt believe it is there | 07:00 |
| angel | "hdb doesnt exist | 07:01 |
| chaosrl | hey guys! is there any way to prevent websites from resizing firefox? | 07:01 |
| roddersg | ok, let me think on how to detect your cdrom | 07:01 |
| mjw- | chaosrl the custom geometry extension might help | 07:02 |
| chaosrl | mm ok thanks | 07:02 |
| astro76 | lnknpk04: http://www.debianadmin.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html | 07:02 |
| lnknpk04 | astro76, thx for the resource. I'll read it through :) | 07:02 |
| astro76 | chaosrl: yes first go to about:config in firefox | 07:02 |
| chaosrl | astro76: i'm there | 07:03 |
| astro76 | chaosrl: then double click dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable | 07:03 |
| iNuswo | anyone else here using a ca0106 model sound card? (Sound Blaster Audigy LS) | 07:03 |
| astro76 | chaosrl: I usually also set at least .close .minimizable .resizable and .titlebar | 07:03 |
| chaosrl | astro76 what do close, minimizable and titlebar do? | 07:04 |
| rredd4 | how do I ssh from my new macbook (leopard), into 7.10? When I ssh, it rejects my password and I know that it is correct. | 07:04 |
| robc4 | xst, you still having problems? | 07:04 |
| rredd4 | 7.10 is on my pc | 07:04 |
| robc4 | xst, look here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WartyWarthogInstallNotes | 07:04 |
| astro76 | chaosrl: prevent web sites from closing, minimizing, or resizing the window, or disabling the titlebar | 07:04 |
| chaosrl | astro76: hmm ok. thanks, this is exactly what i needed! | 07:05 |
| roddersg | ok angel, you still here? | 07:05 |
| angel | roddersg, im waiting patiently | 07:05 |
| roddersg | can you do a ls -l /proc/ide | 07:05 |
| roddersg | is hda and hdb listed | 07:05 |
| MongooseWA | what folder do you dump fonts into in linux? | 07:06 |
| angel | roddersg, angel@rylan-desktop:~$ ls -l /proc/ide | 07:06 |

| bullgard4 | [dhelp] Will dhelp search all html files in my Ubuntu computer or only documentation html files? | 07:06 |
| roddersg | yike!!! | 07:06 |
| roddersg | your drives are not on ide | 07:06 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, ok. This has reached a new level of weird. I got to a grub screen after I changed the menu.lst to say hd(1,0). once there I was getting an error 25. so i hit the e key to edit the first boot option (ubuntu 7.10) and changed hd(1,0) back to hd(0,0) and it booted | 07:06 |
| chump | ok did the updates own alot of people or was it just me? | 07:07 |
| chaosrl | MongooseWA System->Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Details...->Go To Fonts Folder | 07:07 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, it was hd(0,0) to begin with! | 07:07 |
| angel | roddersg, so, my computer is somehow held together with what gremlins? | 07:07 |
| robc4 | lnknpk04, did this happen after a kernel update? | 07:07 |
| pajamian | angel: your drives are either scsi or sata | 07:07 |
| roddersg | angel - I really don't know, how did this happen | 07:07 |
| robc4 | because mine did the exact same thing after last nights update | 07:07 |
| MongooseWA | thanks chaosrl | 07:07 |
| lnknpk04 | robc4, i believe it did | 07:07 |
| iNuswo | ~am having a problem with my sound. Alsa drivers have been configured/installed according to alsa wiki for the model. a) no sound plays at all b) symptoms include when any file or media is played that includes audio it (the media) freezes after a few seconds c) on streamed media if after the media freezes I click the timeline anywhere it will play shortly again then freeze again. Any ideas where I should start looking? | 07:07 |
| chaosrl | MongooseWA no prob | 07:07 |
| Arilou | !mount | 07:08 |
| angel | roddersg, so how do i go about fixing it? | 07:08 |

| astro76 | roddersg: pajamian: just jumping in here but this is normal in Ubuntu for ide drives to appear as scsi, it uses libata | 07:08 |
| rredd4 | how do i transfer files from my pc (ubuntu 7.10) to my new macbook? | 07:08 |
| angel | pajamian, so what kind of voodoo is mucking up my computer | 07:08 |
| pajamian | astro76: by all means jump in | 07:09 |
| lnknpk04 | robc4, is this a normal thing that can happen if you are installing the updates that ubuntu prompts you to install? | 07:09 |
| pajamian | angel: what do you get with: ls -l /proc/scsi | 07:09 |
| chaosrl | rredd4 do you just need to xfer documents, etc? | 07:09 |
| rredd4 | yes | 07:10 |
| dogpigeoncow | hi. i have a problem with running counter strike in Wine, IS there a spesific chanel for problems such as this???? | 07:10 |

| rredd4 | no | 07:10 |
| rredd4 | chaosrl no | 07:10 |
| robc4 | lnknpk04, yes, after a kernel update, it runs grub-update. If you want to check if thats the problem, backup your menu/lst, run grub-update, and check your newly created /boot/grub/menu.lst | 07:10 |
| chaosrl | rredd4: are you meaning to someone connect the two together wirelessly? | 07:10 |
| Ryuho | hey i want to run compiz in my bash program but it get's stuck once i execute it, how do i properly call a program in bash? | 07:10 |

Any ideas where I should start looking? | 07:11 |
| lnknpk04 | robc4, will do. Thx for the heads up | 07:11 |
| pajamian | angel: ok, that is promising | 07:11 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04 show me your fstab setting on www.phpfi.com | 07:11 |
| Atyab^Girl | hello everyone | 07:11 |
| rredd4 | chaosrl wanted to ssh, not accepting my password, not sure why | 07:11 |
| robc4 | lnknpk04, this might cause the problem to come back though | 07:11 |
| robc4 | it did for me | 07:11 |
| rredd4 | chaosrl pc is ethernet, macbook is wireless | 07:11 |
| pajamian | angel: how about: ls -l /dev/sd* | 07:11 |
| robc4 | I had to manually fix it | 07:11 |
| adub | configure: error: Cannot find pcre.h. Please install libpcre | 07:11 |
| chaosrl | rredd4: that's what i was afraid of; i'm very inexperienced with ssh, sorry :( | 07:11 |
| adub | i keep getting that configure error | 07:11 |
| lnknpk04 | robc4, if it does, it would be fixed by just copying my backed up menu.lst, correct? | 07:12 |
| nickrud | robc4: what fix did you use? | 07:12 |
| chaosrl | maybe someone else could help here | 07:12 |
| Atyab^Girl | i'm having trouble setting up my connection on the pc! i use 'sudo pppoeconf" and set it up.. when am done only gaim opens up though i cant browse the net something to do with my DNS i guess since if i get a resolved site's ip i could get into it | 07:12 |
| rredd4 | chaosrl any other way? | 07:12 |
| robc4 | lnknpk04, it *should* | 07:12 |
| angel | pajamian, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55316/ | 07:12 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, I'll grab the fstab in a min. Running into the other room | 07:12 |
| chaosrl | rredd4: crossover ethernet would probably be faster, but i'm not sure how to go about doing it with a mac either | 07:12 |
| lnknpk04 | robc4, *should* scares me lol. think i should just leave well enough alone? | 07:12 |
| astro76 | rredd4: you've installed openssh-server on the ubuntu machine? | 07:12 |
| === HashBox_ is now known as HashBox | ||
| pajamian | angel: this is good you definately have scsi drives on your system, or drives that at least appear to ubuntu to be scsi | 07:13 |
| robc4 | lnknpk04, yea, I would, but if it happens again after you install a kernel update, that is the problem | 07:13 |
| robc4 | ity has happened to me the past two kernel updates | 07:13 |
| nickrud | robc4: I'm getting ready to run the update, from what I've seen here the (hd0,0) changes? Is that what you saw? | 07:13 |
| iNuswo | is anyone there that can help me with a sound problem or am i a ghost right now? | 07:13 |
| lnknpk04 | rebecca2930, seems to be working now :) | 07:13 |
| angel | so, just change hdb to scsi? | 07:13 |
| rredd4 | astro76 not sure, but I have connected pc to pc via ssh | 07:13 |
| robc4 | nickrud, yes, it changes to (1,0) for me | 07:13 |
| lnknpk04 | robc4, thx so much. gonna restart and make sure it works | 07:13 |
| pajamian | angel: chabe hdb where? | 07:14 |
| pajamian | *change | 07:14 |
| nickrud | robc4: what did you have as # groot= in your menu.lst ? | 07:14 |
| astro76 | rredd4: if you've ssh'd to it before then you have it | 07:14 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, what did u do?? | 07:14 |
| astro76 | !sound | iNuswo | 07:14 |
| ubotu | iNuswo: 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 | 07:14 |
| angel | pajamian, well in /etc/fstab if it says hdb doesnt exist, and my computer things its scsi couldnt i change it there to scsi? | 07:14 |
| pajamian | angel: keep in mind I haven't been following your entire conversation | 07:14 |
| robc4 | nickrud, its commented out, so it doesnt matter | 07:15 |
| robc4 | nickrud, maybe it needs to be uncommented | 07:15 |
| pajamian | angel: sdb, but before you change /etc/fstab you should try to mount it manually to see if it's correct. | 07:15 |
| iNuswo | astro i'm a little bit beyond that | 07:15 |
| nickrud | robc4: yes it does, that's what update-grub uses to rebuild the boot stuff. It should stay with one # | 07:15 |
| rredd4 | astro76 not sure why my password is not being accepted when I ssh from the mac. When I go to terminal and sudo or root, password is accepted. | 07:15 |
| robc4 | nickrud | 07:15 |
| robc4 | ahh alrighty | 07:15 |
| pajamian | angel: do you have a cd in the drive? | 07:15 |
| angel | pajamian, good call, i have a cd ready and everything | 07:15 |
| astro76 | iNuswo: fair enough, I checked first that no one gave you that recently ;) | 07:15 |
| nickrud | robc4: does yours have 1,0 ? | 07:15 |
| rredd4 | astro76 terminal on ubuntu pc | 07:15 |
| robc4 | nickrud, well its groot=(hd1,0) | 07:15 |
| robc4 | change it to 0,0 probably | 07:16 |
| nickrud | robc4: change it to 0,0 , then update-grub won't screw it up again | 07:16 |
| guyvdb_ | Hi, I want to change the associated application of a file in gnome. The file is *.as (action script). Under properties -> Opens With i choose "Text Editor" now when i doulble click it i get message: FileName indiactes type "Applix SpreadSheet" content indicates "C Source" and file will not open | 07:16 |
| pajamian | angel: ok, create an empty directory for a mount point: mkdir ~/cdtest | 07:16 |
| astro76 | rredd4: does this work on the ubuntu machine: ssh localhost | 07:16 |
| robc4 | nickrud, perfect, thanks | 07:16 |
| mkbernard | exit | 07:16 |
| robc4 | nickrud, let me run it real quick | 07:16 |
| nickrud | robc4: now I just have to get ready to rebuild my video drivers ;( | 07:16 |
| angel | pajamian, ok | 07:16 |
| pajamian | angel: then do: sudo mount /dev/sdb ~/cdtest | 07:16 |
| Atyab^Girl | any1! pppoe help?! | 07:16 |
| iNuswo | latest alsa drivers have been installed from source, and they were working until the first reboot after install | 07:16 |
| pajamian | angel: and see what happens | 07:17 |
| rredd4 | astro76 refused | 07:17 |
| pajamian | angel: if all goes well you should be able to access your cd from that directory | 07:17 |
| iNuswo | when i go to play any media file however, the media will play for a few seconds then freeze | 07:17 |
| greaman1 | is this channel located most on europe no north america? | 07:17 |
| guyvdb_ | Can anyone help on file association in gnome? | 07:17 |
| angel | pajamian, "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" | 07:17 |
| astro76 | rredd4: ok so it seems the problem is definitely local to the ubuntu machine | 07:17 |
| pajamian | angel: ok, one min ... | 07:17 |
| rebecca2930 | lnknpk04, what did u do to fix it?? | 07:17 |
| nickrud | greaman1: depends on the time of day, it rotates but yes, mostly europe, north america and australasia | 07:18 |
| robc4 | nickrud, that did the trick, running update-grub fixed it | 07:18 |
| BoltClock | i installed gutsy last month and have been unable to solve my graphics problems since then - but today i wish to solve my gutsy sound problem. its muted, but when i double-click the icon it tells me it couldn't find any devices or elements to control. i dont know what my sound card is, but can anyone help me with this? | 07:18 |

| greaman1 | nickturd is eopeand like uk people smarter than canadian or americans? | 07:19 |
| pajamian | angel: I'm going to try something to make sure my syntax is correct, etc... | 07:19 |
| angel | pajamian, ok, thanks! | 07:19 |
| nickrud | robc4: I'm sure they're aware. It's odd that some groot's were bad from the install | 07:19 |

| JosiahW | greaman1: deluge is a far better torrent applicaiton than azureus IMO... and much faster | 07:29 |
| astro76 | JosiahW: dreamhost, uses debian, full shell | 07:29 |
| greaman1 | JosiahW someone told me azureus was better in other channel | 07:30 |
| greaman1 | why? | 07:30 |
| astro76 | !best | 07:30 |
| ubotu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 07:30 |
| pajamian | angel: do you have two hard drives in your computer? | 07:30 |
| angel | pajamian, yep, one on an IDE cable and the other is USB | 07:30 |
| Tredje0ye | So it seems my world file is corrupt :P It seems four lines have been accidenntaly meshed together to one | 07:31 |
| JosiahW | astro76: do you have to have dedicated server for full debian? Or is that on all hosting plans? | 07:31 |
| Tredje0ye | Where can I find the "world" file? | 07:31 |
| pajamian | angel: is the USB drive mounted to /media/disk-6? | 07:31 |
| astro76 | JosiahW: all plans | 07:31 |
| angel | pajamian, yes thats the one | 07:31 |
| pajamian | angel: ok, in that case I still can't find your cd-rom drive :-( | 07:32 |

Now my issue is whenever I try to unlock the screen, my keyboard simply refuses to work, I can't enter my password. Every time this happens, I have to make an improper shutdown.

| solid_liq | BVBBQ, hmm... you should try installing a different kernel, because it looks like you're missing some drivers | 09:04 |
| BVBBQ | solid_liq, a different kernel you say. sound pretty involved. | 09:05 |
| solid_liq | BVBBQ, not really, you just apt-get install it, and reboot | 09:05 |
| BVBBQ | so, apt-get install what? | 09:06 |
| BVBBQ | kinda been wanting to try ubuntu studio. | 09:06 |
| solid_liq | BVBBQ, do: apt-cache search linux-image and pick one that should work on your machine, install it, and reboot to see if the drive works with that kernel (make sure you select it in grub if it's not set to the default) | 09:06 |
| BVBBQ | ok, | 09:06 |
| hintswen | ubuntu sttudio? :S wow i really need to use ubuntu more often | 09:06 |

| solid_liq | BVBBQ, linux-image-386 maybe? I'm not sure, I'm on gutsy, and the kernel package names have changed | 09:08 |
| BVBBQ | solid_liq, 386 you say, | 09:08 |
| solid_liq | BVBBQ, that just means x86 architecture | 09:09 |
| BVBBQ | solid_liq, so just apt-get linux-image-386 | 09:09 |
| hintswen | anyone help me get write access to a partition? | 09:09 |
| solid_liq | BVBBQ, apt-get install linux-image-386 ; reboot | 09:09 |
| BVBBQ | ok, and to select that one after? | 09:09 |
| Myster1 | anyone know approx how long it would take to upgrade feisty to gutsy using update manager? | 09:10 |
| BVBBQ | solid_liq, when i restart do i just hit esc when grub is loading right? | 09:10 |
| BVBBQ | and look for linux image 386 | 09:10 |
| tarelerulz | What doe the x86 mean any ways. I have seen i386, i586, i686 and now amd64 ,but x86 is new to me. | 09:10 |
| solid_liq | BVBBQ, you know that screen that comes up after your bios screen? that's the grub bootloader... like if you've set your machine up for dualboot, you've seen it before | 09:10 |
| jcg42 | Should the time in the BIOS be set to UTC or local time? | 09:10 |
| chicagonpg | Myster1 If I remeber right it will be like 30mins | 09:11 |
| BVBBQ | solid_liq, was just checking to make sure | 09:11 |
| solid_liq | BVBBQ, it won't be called linux-image-386, that's a pseudo package which pulls in an appropriate kernel. when it's downloading, look at the actual name, and that's what you'll want to select | 09:11 |

| kahrytan | try that. | 09:41 |
| Gpalco | Hi everyone. Ubuntu rocks! | 09:41 |
| kahrytan | hintswen-> it modifies fstab, and remounts partition for write mode | 09:42 |
| hintswen | kahrytan: can you tell me what to do? | 09:42 |
| kahrytan | distracted ..tv | 09:42 |
| aladdinsane | my xubuntu went crazy during the night, when i turned on my monitor this morning all i could see was my desktop background, all panes was gone, then i restarted and my panes were back but empty, any clue why? | 09:42 |
| Gpalco | I have s small problem. My Meta-tracker doesn't index my Word files, only Evolution emails! Why is that? | 09:43 |
| aladdinsane | and my panes doesn't have a "properties" option when right clicking anymore, very weird | 09:44 |
| kahrytan | !info ntfs-config | hint | 09:44 |

| kahrytan | hintswen-> This program allow you to easily configure all of your NTFS devices to allow write support via a friendly gui. For that use, it will configure them to use the open source ntfs-3g driver. You'll also be able to easily disable this feature. | 09:44 |

| mkbernard | when i attempt to install apache (apt-get install apache2) it asks for me to inser the gutsy gibbon cd | 09:45 |
| hintswen | sorry, i don't understand >.< | 09:46 |
| === denny is now known as denny^AFK | ||
| mkbernard | should i use the alertnate or the live? | 09:46 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: as far as i know that little program just edit your fstab, so u might as well just edit it your self | 09:47 |
| Gpalco | Tracker doesn't index ANY files, but emails !!! WHY? | 09:47 |
| jumpstart | hello | 09:47 |
| hintswen | ntfs-config isn't in the package manager, nor is ntfs-3g | 09:47 |
| hintswen | aladdinsane: wouldn't it be easier/faster to use the program? | 09:48 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen, just ad rw to your fstab line for that drive | 09:49 |
| Gpalco | Does TRACKER index files for anyone ??? | 09:49 |
| hintswen | aladdinsane: accouding to mount i have rw though | 09:49 |
| jumpstart | i've a question. i downloaded ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso. i've a macbook and i would like to install ubuntu on my usb pendrive. the live cd stars, i set the partitions on the pendrive but i can't choose packages and it doesn't fit on my pendrive. it's 1gb | 09:49 |
| Gpalco | Anyone succeded indexing office docs with TRACKER ??? | 09:50 |
| jumpstart | is there a way to install ubuntu on a 1gb pendrive? | 09:50 |
| mkbernard | get a bigger drive | 09:50 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: mine looks like this UUID=B600D1E800D1AF9B /media/Xp ntfs user,noauto,rw 0 0 | 09:50 |
| Nathan` | usb flash drives are cheap | 09:50 |
| Nathan` | i'm having usb mouse issues on gutsy, it just stops working and i have to reboot | 09:51 |
| medfly | why are you getting the i386 one for a mac thing? | 09:51 |
| hintswen | aladdinsane: just reading about fstab | 09:51 |
| huff3r | usb drives spend their money freely | 09:51 |
| jumpstart | yes...i'm going to buy a 4gb for that, but i was just trying on this 1gb drive... | 09:51 |
| hintswen | no idea what i'm doing xD | 09:51 |
| vallhalla82 | !antivirus | 09:51 |
| ubotu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 09:51 |
| jumpstart | do you know any other distro for a 1gb drive? | 09:52 |

| Gpalco | Guys, has Anyone succeded indexing office docs with TRACKER ??? Or is it a problem with my install only ? | 09:52 |
| huff3r | i run DSL from a 128, dsl-n runs from a 256 | 09:52 |
| jumpstart | thanks, i'll try | 09:53 |
| vallhalla82 | jumpstart i put ubntu 6.1 on a old 98 laptop with 1 gig hd space worked fine | 09:53 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: hehe, i had the same problem a few months back | 09:53 |
| checkers | what's the difference between the -desktop and the -alternate ISO? | 09:53 |
| hintswen | all this just to save some files before i format =[ | 09:54 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: do u have that ntfs drive in fstab? | 09:54 |
| hintswen | I don't know anythign about fstab! | 09:54 |
| jumpstart | vallhalla82: how did you do? i mean, i can't choose packages it starts installing everything (i think) | 09:55 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: ok but have u located it, do u see the contents of it? | 09:55 |
| hintswen | aladdinsane: haven't located it, or atleast i think i haven't | 09:56 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: ok, open up a terminal and write: sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 09:56 |
| hintswen | ok got it | 09:57 |
| vallhalla82 | jumpstart i installed it from the 6.06 livecd then upgraded so i ha only the older basics but i supose it will depend onwhat you want to use your system for | 09:58 |
| hintswen | there are 2 lines, can i paste them? | 09:58 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: what do u wanna paste? | 09:58 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: here u mean, sure | 09:58 |

| vallhalla82 | jumpstart do you have a cd burner? | 09:59 |
| hintswen | should I be changing something? | 10:00 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: yes u need to add your ntfs drive | 10:00 |
| kosta | i need a simple and fast graphical imap client. KMail crashes all the time, evolution behaves weird, opera crashes, too (using hardy 64bit) | 10:00 |
| vallhalla82 | !imap | 10:01 |
| ubotu | IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol | 10:01 |
| hintswen | aladdinsane: how? | 10:01 |
| Yanch0 | * */6 * * * in a cron means every 6 hours right ? | 10:01 |
| kosta | ubotu: im looking for a client :) | 10:01 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: u just need to get it's UUID, hang on, i'll need to search for the command for it, or if anybody is faster than my googling, how do u get the UUID for a disk | 10:02 |
| vallhalla82 | !mailserver | 10:02 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu supports the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and provides mail server software of many kinds. You can install a basic email handling configuration with the "Mail server" task during installation, or with the "tasksel" command.

| vallhalla82 | i have kubuntu on one of my systems | 10:04 |
| vallhalla82 | compiz has never caused any problem | 10:04 |
| jumpstart | vallhalla82: yes i've a cd burner. i've burnt ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso and it boots well on my macbook. | 10:04 |

| volkan | btw, stfw did not help at all. | 10:05 |
| aladdinsane | hmm.. how do u get the UUID for you disks? | 10:05 |
| vallhalla82 | jumpstart would you like me to send you the 6.06 iso? | 10:05 |

| ffdabei | exit | 10:06 |
| drcheezenstein | and this one guy recommended turning off the desktop intregration feature, but when I do and I open back up CCSM its reenabled | 10:06 |
| vallhalla82 | drcheezenstein is your graphics card config ok? | 10:06 |
| jumpstart | vallhalla82, thanks but i'll try myself. thanks again. bye | 10:06 |
| drcheezenstein | how do I find out if the config is ok? | 10:06 |
| kosta | are any buffer-overflow protection techniques enabled in ubuntu by default? if so, how do I disable them? | 10:07 |
| vallhalla82 | jumpstart no problem good luck | 10:07 |
| drcheezenstein | Ihave the drivers I installed from that new program on kubunutu 7.10 when you first install | 10:07 |
| vallhalla82 | jumpstart if you have run all the updates it should be ok | 10:08 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: try to write blkid in a terminal | 10:08 |
| hintswen | aladdinsane: nothing happened | 10:08 |
| vallhalla82 | drcheezenstein if you have run the updates it should be ok unles your card is to old/slow to cope with compiz | 10:09 |
| drcheezenstein | no its a good card | 10:09 |
| drcheezenstein | do I have to configure the xorg file at all? | 10:10 |
| vallhalla82 | drcheezenstein if you give me a moment i will have a look in to it and see what i can find for you | 10:10 |
| warddr | hello, has someone any experiance with a "network computing" server? | 10:10 |
| Yanch0 | * */6 * * * in a cron means every 6 hours right please ? | 10:11 |
| drcheezenstein | If someone could answer this you will help me out alot | 10:12 |
| aladdinsane | hintswen: hmm.. i really got to go now, but you should add a line looking something like this: UUID=B600D1E800D1AF9B /media/Xp ntfs user,noauto,rw 0 0 Where UUID is the thing u need to find out for your disk, an /media/Xp is a folder u need to create on your harddrive | 10:12 |
| drcheezenstein | HOW do i replace a xorg file if its broken with a backup from the terminal? | 10:12 |
| hyakuhei | do you have a backup drcheezenstein | 10:12 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Out of curiosity the restricted drivers provided for Ubuntu 64 bit installs are 64 bit correct? | 10:12 |
| hintswen | okay, thanks anyway aladdinsane. I'll try another disrto while i'm at it | 10:12 |
| drcheezenstein | yesIsaved the original file in a backup folder | 10:13 |
| hyakuhei | hmmm, aladdinsane, you don't *have* to use UUID .... | 10:13 |
| KenSentMe | drcheezenstein, rm file, then mv oldfilename newfilename | 10:14 |
| hyakuhei | ok well, drcheezenstein it should be pretty easy to do then, from the console, you want to do something like this | 10:14 |
| aladdinsane | hyakuhei: i know, the ball is in you hands now, got to go :) | 10:14 |
| hyakuhei | sudo cp MyBackupXorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:14 |
| hyakuhei | hmm add -f if you don't want it to ask you silly questions sudo cp -f MyBackupXorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:15 |
| hintswen | kyakuhei, was that to me? | 10:15 |
| hyakuhei | hintswen, no, that was to drcheezenstein | 10:15 |
| hintswen | k :) | 10:15 |
| wirrwarr | moin moin | 10:16 |
| hyakuhei | hintswen, All I was pointing out to aladdinsane was that although typically you see the UID of the device, you *can* use older notation i.e specifying the /dev/<device> rather than the UUID | 10:16 |
| hyakuhei | Infact, if your working with crypto lvm stuff, you kinda have to | 10:17 |
| hyakuhei | If you look at the /etc/fstab you'll see what I mean | 10:17 |
| BVBBQ | solid_liq, hey man, didnt work. i cant boot that kernel for some reason | 10:17 |
| hintswen | -sigh- i'll just try it on knopix | 10:18 |
| ubuuntu | is there a way to install from the CD and exclude writing over /home ? | 10:19 |
| ubuuntu | re-install i mean.. | 10:19 |
| Gpalco | guys, what is GimpNet and what is the irc channel addres of ot ??? Anyone knows? | 10:20 |
| jscinoz | Quick question, i'm looking for a backup program that can create complete disk images (ie including partition table) and can make differential updates to these images. does such a program exist? | 10:20 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, by far the easiest would be to backup /home then resintall. | 10:20 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: yeah.. but I don't have equipment for that :( | 10:20 |
| hintswen | i've been trying to backup for the last hour, maybe t's time i just backup to a load of dvd's | 10:22 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, if the size of /home makes it prohibitive to upload somewhere or burn it to a cd, you could create a partition and throw it on there, then reinstall, move /home back, and get rid of the partition. | 10:22 |
| BVBBQ | i cant run the latest kernel anyone know what i can do to fix it? | 10:22 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: good idea but I don't have enough space on the hd :( | 10:22 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, why do you need to reinstall? | 10:23 |
| hintswen | ubuuntu: i'm in a similar situation, but i have enough space but i can't write to that partition | 10:23 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: I have made every update available since upgrading to 7.10 but now I'm getting make dep errors every time I try to upgrade and it's all a mess | 10:24 |
| orphean | ah | 10:24 |
| vallhalla82 | !konsole | 10:25 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:25 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, how brave are you? ;) You could boot into the livecd, mount the drive, delete everything but the /home directory and then do the partition thing and reinstall. | 10:26 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: what do you mean with the partition thing? do you mean manually create them in fdisk? | 10:27 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, well you could use gparted on the livecd. that would be far easier. | 10:27 |
| krim | Anyone know how I can copy the discnumber, tracknumber and title from the tags in a flac album so I can paste them as text? | 10:27 |
| hintswen | cyaz, gonna get on knoppix | 10:28 |
| mkbernard | is there a simpler gnome (or a way to reduce it somehow) for low ram machines? | 10:29 |
| krim | mkbernard: Check out xfce | 10:29 |
| DRebellion | !xubuntu | mkbernard | 10:29 |
| ubotu | mkbernard: Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of !GNOME. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 10:29 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: let me see I got this right.. I should boot the install cd.. mount my harddrive rm everything but /home.. then start gparted.. what do I do from here and what is the command for reinstall? | 10:29 |
| mkbernard | thanks | 10:30 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, correct so far. then you would resize the partition that your /home is on just enough so you can fit /home onto another partition. | 10:30 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, then you create that partition and copy /home over to it | 10:31 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, then you run the installer as normal from the desktop and have it install onto the first partition. | 10:31 |

| eitreach_ | I'm having a bit of trouble installing vmware server. Can someone give a hand? | 10:32 |
| BVBBQ | i cant run the latest kernel anyone know what i can do to fix it? | 10:32 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: what the heck.. I'll just buy an external harddrive I need the space anyways 500gb for ~$100 not bad. :) | 10:32 |
| orphean | ubuuntu, haha that would be much simpler! I never said this was an optimal solution ;) | 10:32 |
| ubuuntu | orphean: do you know if external hds with USB 2.0 is a piece of cake with ubuntu? | 10:32 |

| goyalvaibhav | How to repair root file system. When fs check does not give any error? | 10:34 |
| goyalvaibhav | I have 3 partitions on my SATA hard disk | 10:34 |
| goyalvaibhav | /dev/sda1 (Ubuntu 7.10 root) | 10:34 |
| goyalvaibhav | /dev/sda2 (Swap) | 10:34 |
| goyalvaibhav | /dev/sda3 (ext3) | 10:34 |
| goyalvaibhav | I formated /dev/sda3 using gparted in ubuntu 7.10 and NOT the livecd of GParted. | 10:34 |
| FloodBot3 | goyalvaibhav: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 10:34 |
| DRebellion | moad, mount -o loop image.iso path/to/mountpoint | 10:34 |
| Blissex | goyalvaibhav: boot into single user mode with the root mounted RO and check it then. Or use a liveCD | 10:35 |
| goyalvaibhav | i have used live cd and ran fs check on root system but didnt report any errors | 10:37 |
| CruX | hello | 10:37 |

| pocketdrummer | I have a quick, (hopefully) easy question. How do I hide folders? | 10:38 |
| DRebellion | pocketdrummer, prefix the name with a '.' | 10:38 |
| Blissex | goyalvaibhav: have you tried with the '-f' option to force a full fsck instead of just a journal run? | 10:39 |
| pocketdrummer | DRebellion, wow, that's a lot simpler than I imagined. Thanks! | 10:39 |
| goyalvaibhav | no i havent tried that option ...any other option i should use | 10:39 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: note that ''hiding'' that way is not secure, if that is your goal. | 10:39 |
| DRebellion | pocketdrummer, it also works for files :) | 10:40 |
| pocketdrummer | Blissex: do you know of a way to password protect the folder? | 10:40 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: depends what you mean by "password protect". | 10:41 |
| pocketdrummer | DRebellion, I figured that was the case, but I have a nasty habbit of bricking this OS, so I figured I'd make sure, lol. | 10:41 |
| === hans_ is now known as Igramul | ||
| goyalvaibhav | thanks Blissex I will try that | 10:41 |
| pocketdrummer | Blissex, when I click on the folder, can I make it ask for a password for entry. Sort of like Synaptic does? | 10:42 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: Synaptic asks a password for "entry" to a new user... | 10:42 |
| CITguy | does anybody know how to set different keyboard layouts for different windows? | 10:42 |
| DRebellion | pocketdrummer, you can make it only readable by the owner (you) if you want. | 10:42 |
| pocketdrummer | Blissex, really? It asks me every time I run it. Hmmm. | 10:42 |
| orphean | pocketdrummer, by far the best way to do what you want is simply to use file permissions, unless you really want to password protect against yourself... | 10:42 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: the question really is: what kind of accesses do you want to prevent? For example, do you need to prevent access by someone who has got a full copy of your hard disk? | 10:43 |
| Nathan` | i'm having usb mouse issues on gutsy, it just stops working and i have to reboot | 10:43 |
| Blissex | Nathan`: cheapest way to solve that is to try another mouse. Lots of USB stuff is buggy. | 10:43 |
| pocketdrummer | Well, I would pretty much like to keep this one login if possible. I'm the only one that uses the computer, but if someone else pops on for a second, I'd like to keep them out of personal files. | 10:44 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: but "pops on" means that they login as yourself? (given that you say "one login"... | 10:44 |
| orphean | there are inherent problems with that line of reasoning. | 10:44 |
| alromaithi | why cant i join Kubuntu | 10:44 |
| pocketdrummer | Yeah. Normally, no one gets on unless I'm there, but say I leave to get a drink from the kitchen or something, I don't want them to go exploring. | 10:45 |
| orphean | pocketdrummer, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption | 10:45 |
| Nathan` | Blissex: if i unplug and plugin my usb mouse/keyboard after my mouse stops working they dont work | 10:45 |
| Gpalco | Anyone uses TRACKER ???????????????? | 10:45 |
| pocketdrummer | orphean, sweet. I'll check that out. | 10:45 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: in that case a screen saver? Because otherwise it is pretty hard as you describe it. | 10:45 |
| nimsin | pocketdrummer: lock the computer... | 10:46 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: folder encryption does not automaticlly lock a folder if unused for a while -- you need to deactivate/activate the folder manually. | 10:46 |
| CITguy | nm, I found it. I needed to add the Keyboard Indicator to my GNOME panel | 10:46 |
| pocketdrummer | Blissex, how would I activate and deactivate it? | 10:47 |
| Blissex | pocketdrummer: have a look at that folder encryption lik. Basically you give a password to activate and click somewhere to deactivate. | 10:47 |
| DRebellion | pocketdrummer, system -> log off -> lock screen. | 10:48 |
| orphean | pocketdrummer, just lock your screen. | 10:48 |
| bert_ | hi, I have been bugsearching on launchpad but I can't find why my screen go into sleep mode when I try usplash appears with a 64bit and not with i368, can someone help me to get it working on 64bit too ? | 10:49 |
| jaggy | anyone knows how i start up that thing at the right upper corner ( idk his name ) where it shows internet conn and stuff like that | 10:51 |
| orphean | jaggy, type alt-f2, then nm-applet --sm-disable | 10:51 |
| pocketdrummer | everyone, thank you very much. You were all most helpful. :D | 10:51 |
| jaggy | ty orphean | 10:51 |
| jaggy | didn't work :s | 10:52 |
| jaggy | but its not the network thing himself, its the whole bar where its in :s | 10:53 |
| pocketdrummer | bert_, I'm not sure if you're having the same problem as me, but I have the 64-bit Gutsy and it crashes freezes coming out of sleep mode. | 10:53 |
| orphean | jaggy, the panel? | 10:53 |
| jaggy | you know, it shows your sound, date , network, amarok if its open, same for msn | 10:53 |
| orphean | jaggy, do you have a bar at the bottom of your screen as well? | 10:53 |
| jaggy | ye | 10:53 |
| orphean | jaggy, and is it showing up right now? | 10:53 |
| bert_ | pocketdrummer, nope, the monitors just go to sleep when usplash start and when gdm comes up they reapear | 10:54 |
| jaggy | noes, i got one down and up | 10:54 |
| orphean | jaggy, alt-f2 -> gnome-panel | 10:54 |
| jaggy | ok ty | 10:54 |
| jaggy | workd | 10:54 |
| bert_ | no one got experience with usplash errors ? | 10:55 |
| orphean | bert_, unfortunatly whenever i have problems with usplash I just turn it off ;) no help here. | 10:55 |
| pocketdrummer | bert_, sorry, I misunderstood. I'm not very well versed in Linux, but it may have something to do with the video card or something. I'm really not sure. | 10:55 |
| The_Unknown | Hi | 10:56 |
| The_Unknown | Are there some Italians? | 10:56 |
| mkbernard | is it possible to mount my cd drive as a cd drive on another ubuntu box? | 10:56 |
| bert_ | orphean, yeah I have verbose mode on now, but I'm just curious why this happens with amd64 but not with i386 | 10:56 |
| bert_ | The_Unknown, try #ubuntu-it | 10:57 |
| orphean | bert_, its most likely an issue with your video card and the vesa driver in the amd64 build. but that hardly narrows things down. | 10:57 |
| DRebellion | bert_, try changing the resolution in /etc/usplash.conf (i use 640x480) | 10:58 |
| bert_ | DRebellion, I'll try that | 10:58 |
| bert_ | orphean, when are the nvidia drivers loaded ? | 10:58 |
| orphean | bert_, with X | 10:58 |
| DRebellion | bert_, changing the resolution fixed my shutdown splash, and a recent kernel update fixed my boot splash :D | 10:59 |
| bert_ | then it could be the driver yeah | 10:59 |
| Voyage_ | how can i make adept package manager to use a proxy on port 8080? | 11:01 |

| S_ | Anyway , i am now going to download gutsy -32 , hopes nothings goes wrong after i do this | 12:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | i don't use 64bit, but its out of pure laziness, 32bit is easier... and i really don't need any *enhanced power* or whatever | 12:12 |
| C1P8 | why when i try to install alpha 4 the sistem crashs? I cant terminate upgrade, and the process will not terminate (so cant install anithing trough sinaptic) | 12:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: Mornin.. | 12:12 |

| S_ | Btw , Will it suppose to get wine , compiz and others running from the box on x3100?! | 12:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Sorry | 12:12 |
| C1P8 | thx ^^ | 12:12 |
| richard | no | 12:12 |
| S_ | If thats so , then i waste about 3 months on this | 12:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: what made you consider upgrading/ | 12:13 |
| richard | when i reinstall the ubuntu 7.10 | 12:13 |
| Armin_DE | !feisty | Armin_DE | 12:13 |

| richard | i choosed do not partioned the all drive | 12:13 |
| shaggy1234 | hello | 12:13 |
| richard | and it started to do that | 12:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 12:13 |
| Helvasca | if I send a process to the backgroup using Ctrl-z how can I access it again? | 12:13 |
| === shaggy1234 is now known as pawan | ||
| S_ | Running Linux (32 ver) , will gets my x3100 working and save me the headech of getting 32 program to work fine on 64 | 12:14 |
| im-a-n00b | hey all, does anyone know what "error receiving uevent message: no buffer space available" means? | 12:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | S_: well, yeah. | 12:14 |
| Badger | but running 64 is better! Somehow.... | 12:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | richard: thats a little trick in the installer, you tell it nt to destroy windows, and it does a MS job on you, it does it anyways.. :) just kidding. | 12:14 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: i saw a lot of repo were "brokenlink" and thinked it was about a gradually "pass trough" to the new version | 12:14 |
| S_ | Lets see now , shall i get fedora 8-32 or ubuntu 7.10-32 ;P | 12:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: pretty bad idea. | 12:15 |
| Badger | ubuntu has more tasty, tasty packages, S_ | 12:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | S_: Try both.. the price is right | 12:15 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: yes..but i cant go back...and cant go forward.. | 12:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: so that leaves one option | 12:15 |
| C1P8 | ? | 12:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: so please tell me you didn't try upgrading to an alpha version of beta software w/o a current backup | 12:16 |
| Badger | Jack_Sparrow: I get a lack of kernel modules error on an alt installer. Is that just a CD-writing error? | 12:16 |
| pocketdrummer | I'm not sure if others have this problem, but whenever I put in the live-cd, the NV Drivers don't work. Do you guys know of a way to force VESA? | 12:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Badger: What hardware are you trying to install this on | 12:17 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: can i tell it to someoneother? | 12:17 |
| C1P8 | :( | 12:17 |
| S_ | Badger , i dont think so as i compilie my programs ;) , Jack_Sparrow , well ubuntu is much expensive :P | 12:17 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: i done.. | 12:17 |
| S_ | i dont think i could afford it :P | 12:17 |
| Voyage_ | Zenton you there | 12:17 |
| Badger | Jack_Sparrow: sata disk, but it's accepted it before | 12:17 |
| Voyage_ | Jack_Sparrow | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: if you have a good backup but thats me. | 12:17 |
| Voyage_ | i cant compare hybrid ratbox and inspircd . need max stability/security and max features. and easy one.. any suggestions? | 12:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | S_: I wish you luck no mater what distro you choose | 12:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | tracing down the problems will be difficult, and likely still won't be successful | 12:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | S_: But do try the 32 bit route.. I think you will be surprised | 12:18 |
| Badger | S_: compile ubuntu. | 12:18 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: ? cant understand...i have not backup... | 12:18 |
| S_ | anyway i am downloading ubuntu 7.10 , even though its a waste of my bandwidth as i had hardy and gutsy both 64 | 12:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: well, then that was really not smart.. at all. | 12:18 |
| S_ | Badger , LOL , No thanks i preffer gentoo and lfs | 12:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Voyage_: I saw that question earlier, made no sense to me so I didnt answer | 12:18 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: telling me i've to format and re installa trough cd? | 12:19 |
| S_ | i remeber their was an idea to get Ubuntu-Gentoo distro | 12:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | what would provoke you to upgrade from a stable OS, to an OS thats not even beta yet, its still alpha and not have a current backup in case something went hairy? | 12:19 |
| Kato_von_Spee | Hello - is possible turn on the 3D acceleration on Live! CD? (nvidia). | 12:19 |
| Kato_von_Spee | Because after installation drivers system want restart. I think, that is it not good idea in Live session ;o) | 12:19 |
| Kato_von_Spee | So must I reboot the system? Or just restart the X Server??? | 12:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: i'm tellin you thats what i would do. | 12:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Badger: You installed on this machine before, with the same cd or different one | 12:19 |
| S_ | Kato , their is restrected drivers , turn it on *it may ask you to download some things , accept it* | 12:20 |
| Voyage_ | Jack_Sparrow any suggestions about ircds? | 12:20 |
| Badger | Jack_Sparrow: I think it was an 86 one before, rather than 64 | 12:20 |
| C1P8 | IndyGunFreak: i can backup all the home and put in the new or i'll risk problems? | 12:20 |
| DRebellion | !enter | Kato_von_Spee | 12:20 |
| ubotu | Kato_von_Spee: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | S_: it will still ask him to restart | 12:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | C1P8: that i don't know.. | 12:20 |
| S_ | Oh , alt + control + backspace | 12:20 |
| S_ | or , try to use modprobe -r and morprobe (driver name) before doing that | 12:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | i think it requires an actual restart, not an X restart, could be wrong | 12:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kato_von_Spee: what type of video card do youhave? | 12:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Badger: Double check your cd... | 12:21 |
| S_ | in linux in that case you wont need to restart the system it self , only unloading the driver then loading it | 12:21 |
| S_ | after x-restart | 12:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Voyage_: No ideas.. sorry | 12:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | ok | 12:21 |
| Kato_von_Spee | S_: I think, but I want see Compiz on my own eyes O:-) So I must accept restricted drivers... | 12:21 |
| Kato_von_Spee | OKi - oki - you write too quickly :D | 12:22 |
| Kato_von_Spee | thanks :o) | 12:22 |
| === asdfgfdsa_ is now known as yxcvfgbhtz | ||
| IndyGunFreak | Kato_von_Spee: well, i mean, ther'es plenty of videos with compiz running available, if you use Nvidia, 'd just install. | 12:22 |
| boyet | does anyone here hav some solution to my video card problem? | 12:22 |
| Kato_von_Spee | nVidia GF 7600 GT | 12:22 |
| S_ | Kato , try installing ubuntu *the evil distro* :P , as it asks you to show the light if you accepted to make it take over your harddisk xD | 12:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | S_: You have spent some time in Linux, I hope you try out Ubuntu 32 and make this your new home | 12:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kato_von_Spee: you should get it working fairly easily with that card. | 12:22 |
| boyet | VIA CHROME9 HC IGP running ubuntu 7.10 32bit in 64 bit machine | 12:23 |
| S_ | Jack, i am without home as soon anther good distro released , bye bye ubuntu *as when i did for ubuntu 4 :P) | 12:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kato_von_Spee: does restricted driver manager(System/Admin/Restricted driver) show the Nvidia driver is already enabled? | 12:23 |
| * S_ hopes that ubuntu developers havnet heard that or a nice kick/ban will be arrived to him | 12:23 | |
| Voyage_ | k | 12:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | :) | 12:24 |
| Kato_von_Spee | IndyGunFreak: So just x-reboot? | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | S_: why don't you just try 32bit? or try a Straight Debian install. | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | Kato_von_Spee: you can try. | 12:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | i don't think that will work, but who knows. | 12:25 |
| Hechicera1973 | hi | 12:26 |

| IndyGunFreak | Kato_von_Spee: control alt backspace will restart X, so you can try and enable, it then restart X and see what happens | 12:26 |
| S_ | Kato , i told you alt + control + backspace | 12:26 |
| Kato_von_Spee | Thank you very much boys :o) | 12:26 |

| sweeties | Hi Guys, I am trying to upgrade by ubuntu-server from 6.10 to 7.04, the docs say to install update-manager-core | 12:49 |
| sweeties | but I can't find update-manager-core | 12:49 |
| vozny | Jack_Sparrow: I just realised that :) | 12:49 |
| brobostigon | sweeties: i think the command to install that is , sudo apt-get install uodate-manager-core | 12:51 |

| nyit2 | pa kabar | 12:51 |

| brobostigon | sweeties: have a look on packages.ubuntu.com for what repo you need to enable for it, | 12:53 |
| wers | boyet, I think so | 12:54 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | actually I want to remove it | 12:54 |
| wolf4914 | If I install Alpha 8.04 will I be able to upgrade to stable without reinstall? | 12:54 |

| GreenByte | I just want other people to be able to connect to my localhost. Is that possible with: http://192.168.2.2:3000/bart/login ? | 13:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: what about booting in recovery mode, and running sudo apt-get remove opera | 13:02 |
| foldart | sweeties: np :) | 13:02 |
| GreenByte | Or should I use my real IP? | 13:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: you'll have to do it from CLI.., but i mean, thats not that difficult. | 13:03 |
| sharperguy | !botsnack | 13:03 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 13:03 |
| emitchlpd | hello | 13:03 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | IndyGunFreak: this is what aptitude says: Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should | 13:03 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | reinstall it before attempting a removal. | 13:03 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | IndyGunFreak: is possible to force it to remove opera? | 13:04 |
| GreenByte | !botsnack | 13:04 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 13:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: hmm, maybe with purge, but i really don't know. | 13:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: have you tried removing it in safe mode? | 13:04 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | IndyGunFreak: how to access into safe mode ? | 13:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: I think aptitude is only seeing fragments because it was not a normal package install | 13:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: well, i meant recovery mode, not safe mode... have you tried removing it in recovery mode. | 13:05 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | IndyGunFreak: no. where is that mode? | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: it would appear so, i've never had a prob like that, i must be really lucky, i never have a lot of problems people have in here..lol | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: you have to select it from your grub menu when you start your pc. | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jo71n_7_8471n: should be the second option | 13:06 |
| fyrestrtr | Jo71n_7_8471n: sudo apt-get remove --purge opera | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | fyrestrtr: i don't think thats gonna work. | 13:06 |
| sweeties | quit | 13:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | i guess he didn't stick around to find out..loo | 13:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak: That is how you would normally purge it... | 13:07 |
| edju | Trying to install proprietary print drivers. Installer says I need gtk and gdk, without further ids. Exactly what do I install? | 13:07 |

| Dimitree | guys how do i change betwean languages in Ubuntu ? i have english as default and have installed Bulgarian but i don't know how to change betwean them ? | 13:11 |
| S_ | what it is? | 13:12 |
| S_ | wrong window ;) | 13:12 |
| S_ | sorry | 13:12 |
| Faust-C | im having problems trying to connect to my ssh server | 13:12 |
| Faust-C | i have it configured to use ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 13:13 |
| Faust-C | but when i do | 13:13 |
| emitchlpd | check permissions? | 13:13 |
| emitchlpd | Faust-C: ^ | 13:13 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: as in | 13:13 |
| |katana| | heya.. gotta question: when making partitions: is is good to have 1 primary partitions and all the rest 'logical'? | 13:13 |
| shaz | hello :) | 13:14 |
| |katana| | cuz in a manual they say only 1 primary partition can be active on the same time.. | 13:14 |
| sedra | hi | 13:14 |
| oldred | hi | 13:14 |
| emitchlpd | lots of time that's the problem, your id_rsa or id_dsa has to be readable only by you, or something like that | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | I normally use all primary partitions. | 13:14 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: oic | 13:14 |
| emitchlpd | google it | 13:14 |
| |katana| | but you only can have 4 primary partitions, right? | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | not sure what 'active' really means. :) | 13:14 |
| emitchlpd | you'll find an accurate explanation | 13:14 |
| oldred | somebody can help me ? | 13:14 |
| oldred | I can`t see my others partition | 13:14 |
| Faust-C | ssh faust@10.0.12.90 | 13:14 |
| Faust-C | Permission denied (publickey). | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | yep - only 4 primaries.. but ive never needed more then 4 | 13:14 |
| Faust-C | is the error | 13:14 |
| emitchlpd | ok | 13:15 |
| sedra | unmounted! | 13:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jo71n_7_8471n: There is an apt-get --force-yes but it could break your system | 13:15 |
| emitchlpd | either the keys don't match | 13:15 |
| oldred | just c: | 13:15 |
| emitchlpd | which is possible | 13:15 |
| emitchlpd | not that they'd match | 13:15 |
| Frogzoo | |katana|: best is usually 3 primary partitions (the max) and one extended containing several logical partition | 13:15 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: well they are the same keys, hmm | 13:15 |
| emitchlpd | but they'd go together -- your private key and the public key | 13:15 |
| pajamian | |katana|: you can only have 4 primary partitions, yes, but if you want logical partitions then you have to sacrifice one of the 4 primaries for it. So it's not recommended that you use up all your primaries because you will be unable to create logical partitions, then. | 13:15 |
| Jamesinator | Whenever I launch an app in GNOME, it appears underneath the top menu bar, and I have to move it before I can use the menu. How can I fix this? | 13:15 |
| Frogzoo | Dr_willis: oh you can if you try | 13:15 |
| sedra | kernel panic when i add ati poor driver | 13:15 |
| |katana| | Dr_willis: but you can't see your other partitions right? | 13:15 |
| emitchlpd | have you used this keypair on other machines? | 13:15 |
| Dr_willis | |katana|, see? of course i can see them. Just fine.. | 13:16 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: i use it on MS w/ putty+pageant and it works fine | 13:16 |
| printer_not_list | Hi, I'm having trouble installing a printer not listed in the 'add printer' - the drivers are installed in synaptic. What can I do? I'm running ubuntu 7.10.. the printer is shared on a pc running windows xp. | 13:16 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: btw these keys have passwd | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | |katana|, im not really clear on what 'active' actually means.. unless its the same as the bootable flag. | 13:16 |
| emitchlpd | ok | 13:16 |
| emitchlpd | putty uses a keyfile that's based on your key | 13:16 |
| emitchlpd | wait | 13:16 |
| sedra | active = bootable | 13:16 |
| emitchlpd | you're using putty now, too? | 13:16 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: no | 13:16 |
| emitchlpd | or are you using ssh on the command line | 13:16 |
| emitchlpd | ok | 13:16 |
| sedra | right? | 13:16 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: ssh via cmd line | 13:17 |
| emitchlpd | so your ~/.ssh/id_rsa file is formatted differently from what putty uses | 13:17 |
| pajamian | sedra: the bootable flag is really for windows, I'm not even sure that Linux uses it (though I do set it for my /boot partition). | 13:17 |
| emitchlpd | or, it must be, rather | 13:17 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: ah hell | 13:17 |
| emitchlpd | so if you're using the same file in both cases, that's why it's not working | 13:17 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: i didnt think about that | 13:17 |
| emitchlpd | putty has a keygen program | 13:17 |
| pawan | hi | 13:18 |
| Jo71n_7_8471n | Jack_Sparrow --force-yes return the same error | 13:18 |
| printer_not_list | hello | 13:18 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: lol yeah i was using that, ill have to boot to MS to get the keys | 13:18 |
| emitchlpd | which will translate one version of your private key to the other | 13:18 |
| Man_of_Wax | hi all... any ideas? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=691151 | 13:18 |
| |katana| | Dr_willis: I see there's some confusion, that's my mistake I guess.. With active I meant that windows can't 'see' the other partitions.. But I can see that's only a historical issue.. | 13:18 |
| emitchlpd | http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html | 13:18 |
| emitchlpd | I'm pretty sure you can derive your openssh private key from your putty private key with the puttygen program | 13:19 |
| Faust-C | emitchlpd: ty for clearing my confusion | 13:19 |
| emitchlpd | np | 13:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jo71n_7_8471n: I cant help with that... You may look to see if there is an Opera channel | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis | |katana|, windows dosent really need to see the linux partitiosn. :) but it can with that ext2 fs thing for windows. | 13:19 |
| |katana| | yeah, but I needed that to set up my partitions.. | 13:20 |
| |katana| | Now i've done 1 primary and 4 logical ones | 13:20 |
| |katana| | and if I'm correct, the 4 logical partitions are grouped in 1 extended partition, right? | 13:20 |
| speart | yeah | 13:21 |
| pocketdrummer | Does anyone know of a program that searches for songs online that isn't P2P based? | 13:25 |
| speart | all your logical partitions are in the extended one | 13:25 |
| speart | like itunes? | 13:25 |
| pocketdrummer | more like Songbird | 13:25 |

| xored | grndslm: what is like exactly the SAME as root login. | 13:47 |
| grndslm | just type in sudo -s, dangitall | 13:48 |

| grndslm | xored: well, here in 2008, we don't login to root directly because that's what any hacker will be trying to crack first... if he doesn't know your username, it's harder to attack you... simply typing sudo -s gives you temporary root access so you don't have to keep typing sudo over and over again | 13:50 |
| Aquahallic | michael I can change color just before the login screen... and I can change the color of the login screen.. it's the screen that comes up after you enter your user and pass.. the one where the music plays that I can't find where to change | 13:51 |

| leand | jack sparr: when i open terminal i get a mac menu style but when i close it, it disappears | 14:46 |
| Iam | yes | 14:46 |
| erUSUL | sebrock: a livecd | 14:46 |
| ompaul | Iam, that will break your machine | 14:46 |
| _moro_bana_ | hello, what could bre the reason for this: icons on my desktop get distorted when i move em | 14:46 |
| grndslm | sebrock: rsync?? | 14:46 |
| PeterAbelard | thetux: put this line in your /etc/fstab: "/dev/sda2 /mount/backup ext3 defaults,rw 0 2 | 14:46 |
| Iam | so I shouldnt do that? | 14:47 |
| erUSUL | Iam: that's a bad idea and unsupported no surprise you are getting errors | 14:47 |
| sebrock | erUSUL: yes, I thought someone would say that. However, I have to do this backup on a headless server. So I have to get access through ssh in order for me to do this remote... thats the problem | 14:47 |
| Iam | can I get a good sources.list for gusty | 14:47 |
| menllyos | why is it that i have 4GB of ram while ubuntu reports 3.8 GB ? | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maximilion: Sorry.. go to terminal | 14:47 |
| maximilion | I'm there. | 14:47 |
| ompaul | Iam, start a live cd and it will give you your local list | 14:47 |
| Iam | I am upgrading from edgy to gusty | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maximilion: type sudo bash alsa-info.sh | 14:48 |
| grndslm | menllyos: same reason you have a 320gb hard drive, but ubuntu only reports 300 | 14:48 |
| ompaul | Iam, not supported | 14:48 |
| thetux | PeterAbelard: thank you, automount works now :-) | 14:48 |
| maximilion | ok | 14:48 |
| Iam | ompaul:sorry, I didnt got u? | 14:48 |
| menllyos | uh why did windows report 4GB then ? | 14:48 |
| ompaul | Iam, you should step one step at a time - and given that you have this merge of different distros get a live CD and ehh reinstall fresh stop more breakage | 14:48 |
| KristianDK | Hi there :-) During format i lost my OpenGPG key, that i use for launchpad, can i obtain a copy, or must a create a brand new key? | 14:49 |
| CaptObvious | grndslm: that's actually wrong | 14:49 |
| bjorn_ | ompaul, thanx. he says he shuts down tidely | 14:49 |
| grndslm | menllyos: the number hardware manufacturers give you is 1000bytes=1KB, 1KB is actually 1024, just like there are 1024MB in 1GB, etc... | 14:49 |
| orphean | KristianDK, if you lost your private key and have no backups, you must obtain a new one. | 14:49 |
| CaptObvious | with RAM, a gigabyte is 1024MB. with HDDs, a gigabyte is 1000MB | 14:49 |
| grndslm | menllyos: windows lied to you so that you would feel warm and fuzzy inside | 14:49 |
| maximilion | Jack_Sparrow: http://pastebin.ca/897377 | 14:49 |

| ompaul | bjorn_, it is a sad fact that the hardware designers don't tell the kernel makers how their hardware works | 14:49 |
| Iam | ompaul, then I need to reinstall all packages? | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maximilion: All the info on your system "Sound" will be in there.. I gotta get some rest... Hope you understand | 14:50 |
| krim | Couldn't it be that menllyos is using 32bit and needs 64bit for 4gb ram? (sorry if I missed anything) | 14:50 |
| menllyos | CaptObvious : why does ubuntu only see 3.8 GB then? | 14:50 |
| menllyos | i am using 64b obviously | 14:50 |
| CaptObvious | menllyos: beats me | 14:50 |
| ompaul | Iam, what I am suggesting is a gutsy CD back up your data and then do a fresh install | 14:50 |
| orphean | krim, that would be correct if he was running windows. :) linux doesn't have that particular issue. | 14:50 |
| CaptObvious | linux must have that issue with 32 bit | 14:50 |
| CaptObvious | it's a hardware limitation | 14:51 |
| orphean | CaptObvious, I'm sorry, you're incorrect. | 14:51 |
| sebrock | erUSUL: so thats why I need at least a rescue CD that will perform a DHCP and activate a SSH session for remote logins | 14:51 |
| CaptObvious | orphean: source? | 14:51 |
| ompaul | menllyos, if you allow your machine have 64megs for video card then you can't have it for ram? | 14:51 |
| orphean | CaptObvious, pulling now | 14:51 |
| CaptObvious | thanks | 14:52 |
| Iam | ompaul, that I can do but I have lots of libraries installed , I need to reinstall them, Is there a way they can be reinstalled automatically after new installation? | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | maximilion: You might take that link over to the #Alsa room and see what they can do.. goodnight | 14:52 |
| menllyos | ompaul : my video card doesnt use my ram its has plenty of its own... | 14:52 |
| maximilion | Jack_Sparrow: Night and thanks! | 14:52 |
| ompaul | menllyos, it was a guess - so that ruled out do this please and paste the output lshw | 14:52 |
| thetux | erUSUL: did not work, after reboot is is mounted, but as rw | 14:53 |
| ompaul | Iam, you can do something like sudo apt-get install build-essential | 14:53 |
| orphean | CaptObvious, http://www.linux.com/feature/119287?theme=print Here is an older article talking about the 2.4 kernel series. This capability has not gone away in 2.6.x ;) | 14:53 |
| grndslm | yup | 14:53 |
| grndslm | but if he's running 64bit.. there should be no prob | 14:53 |
| erUSUL | thetux: cat /proc/mounts and paste it to paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 14:53 |

| KristianDK | erUSUL, ok, can other people see it? | 14:59 |
| eagle-101 | no... | 15:00 |
| Slart | MrTHaggar: you're access point probably has another ip-adress too..something like 192.168.0.1 or similar | 15:00 |
| erUSUL | thetux: as anormal user you can not that's intended... just make a dir inside it with sudo and then change its permissions so you can writte to the dir | 15:00 |

| ompaul | bjorn_, not long in particular they have only 1/2 a gig of ram but it should be around less than a min | 15:02 |
| MrTHaggar | Slart, the thing is I'm on DHCP, and my IP is assigned from my isp, and the access point almost becomes transparaent, so the ip of my default gateway doesn't work as the interface address | 15:02 |
| thetux | MrTHaggar: many routers also have 192.168.178.* | 15:02 |

| nanbud1 | please look at this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fluxbuntu-project/+bug/157724/comments/10 could you please tell me whether the last three lines of terminal commands is just ONE line? what does the \ mean? | 15:36 |
| Seveas | nanbud1, the \ at the end of a line means that the subsequent line is part of the same coommand | 15:36 |
| aminpro | i want to install ubuntu and it says I/0 error - error reading boot disk | 15:37 |
| Seveas | nanbud1, so it is indeed one command | 15:37 |
| aminpro | spmebody help me | 15:37 |
| Seveas | aminpro, burn it at lower speed | 15:37 |
| boritek | animpro: and use a quality disk | 15:37 |
| kwtm | How can I find a log/record of what apt-get or adept has upgraded? E.g. I just finished auto-upgrading some packages on my Feisty. Is there a log of what has changed? | 15:37 |
| phuzion | aminpro, alternatively, check the cd you have now for errors | 15:37 |
| Seveas | kwtm, /var/log/dpkg.log | 15:37 |
| phuzion | if the errors do not turn up, its possible you have a bad drive. | 15:38 |

| boritek | aminpro: use an RW disk | 15:38 |
| nanbud1 | Seveas: i accidentally pasted all the three lines on the terminal and the command ran!(along with the slashes), a lot of output. does this mean the thing is done? | 15:38 |
| nanbud1 | was i supposed to remove the slashes? | 15:38 |
| phuzion | aminpro, its recommended that when you burn discs for OSes that you burn them at the lowest possible speed, to prevent errors from popping up unexpectedly | 15:39 |
| Seveas | nanbud1, yes, the terminal saw the \ and made one command out of the three lines | 15:39 |
| nanbud1 | then its done okay? | 15:39 |
| aminpro | can i install it from my external hard disk? | 15:39 |
| kwtm | Seveas: That was the answer! Thanks. | 15:39 |
| ompaul | menllyos, you are running a 32bit kernel? | 15:39 |
| Seveas | nanbud1, you only should remove the slashes if you make it one line again. It's done ok | 15:39 |
| Seveas | aminpro, no | 15:39 |
| menllyos | ompaul : i installed the 64b alternate version | 15:39 |

| Spop | I am a newbie and have a question | 16:15 |
| bazhang | spop what is your question | 16:15 |
| Seveas | Vad1, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 16:15 |
| hardy | Hi | 16:15 |
| teo_ | kane77, nothing i type that and it isnt doing anything... | 16:15 |
| Vad1 | Seveas: Ok, moment | 16:15 |
| Slart | crusie: then I'd download a new iso and burn it | 16:15 |
| crusie | ok | 16:15 |
| msix | in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile there's talk of configs being located debian/config/ARCH/, can anyone point me to a full path ? also.. debian helper commands "debian/rules updateconfigs" i'm unfamiliar with that format of giving commands | 16:15 |
| Slart | crusie: updates usually work but some things might get.. well.. less than perfect =) | 16:15 |
| Spop | I tried to add a user called Games. Ubuntu already said there was a user with that name but I never created it. Why would it be on my computer? | 16:16 |
| loa | <Seveas> Thank you man! | 16:16 |
| Seveas | Spop, it's one of the standard system accounts | 16:16 |
| Slart | Roy: I don't know why it isn't working.. but you should include that info when you ask the room for help | 16:16 |
| teo_ | kane77, i get this w3m: Can't load http://localhost:80/server-status. | 16:16 |
| Roy | Slart: Sure | 16:16 |
| Spop | But I tried to log in and it asked for a PW. What wouldthe PW be? | 16:16 |
| crusie | which version do you guys recommend ? I want something STABLE :D | 16:16 |
| Seveas | Spop, you can't use it for logging in | 16:16 |
| Odd-rationale | h4L1m: Search the forums for: "HOWTO: get a Fluxbox menu" | 16:17 |
| crusie | 6.06 or 7.10 ? | 16:17 |
| nigorski | the latest one has been perfect for me | 16:17 |
| h4L1m | Odd-rationale, ok | 16:17 |
| bazhang | heh | 16:17 |
| soldats | Spop: its mainly used for user gruops | 16:17 |
| Spop | OK. Obviously what I am a newbie! Haha | 16:17 |
| Seveas | Spop, simply pick a different name for the user you want to create | 16:17 |
| Slart | crusie: if you want stable.. well.. there's debian =)... for me gutsy is stable | 16:17 |
| pc15 | hello | 16:17 |
| guardian | hi | 16:17 |
| Slart | crusie: what are you going to use the computer for? | 16:17 |
| rvalles | I'm having serious stability problems (can't switch users!) with current propietary nvidia driver packages @ ubuntu. Is there any extra repo or something with up to date propietary nvidia drivers? It seems hardy has recent (169.09) nvidia drivers... any way to use them from gutsy? | 16:17 |
| crusie | how about 64 bit and wine ? | 16:17 |
| Seveas | Slart, drop the b from stable when talking about debian ; | 16:17 |
| Spop | Where can I find a lit of all system user IDs? | 16:17 |
| Seveas | ;) | 16:17 |
| Slart | crusie: server? desktop? | 16:17 |
| crusie | primaly gaming and stuff | 16:17 |
| guardian | i need to brush up my knowledge about compiz and beryl, what whould be used nowadays ? compiz ? does beryl still exist ? | 16:17 |
| crusie | exploring nix | 16:17 |
| Spop | So I know what else besides games is on my computer. | 16:18 |
| Slart | Seveas: hehe.. never thought about it that way.. but indeed.. =) | 16:18 |
| Tilllinux | strange. I'm connected to a tightvncserver via tightvncclient, which works pretty well (by now). Though the keys on my keyboard seem to be switched randomly (like z resulting in an * and q inc c and strg in l etc...) Does anyone have a clue what could be the cause of this problem? | 16:18 |
| Slart | crusie: then get gutsy | 16:18 |
| Seveas | Spop, /etc/passwd, any user with an id less than 1000 is a system user | 16:18 |
| Roy | Any hints why Gutsy Gibbon on Compaq Presario V3000 freezes and my keyboard refuses to work inspite of disabling the desktop effects? | 16:18 |
| Tilllinux | guardian: compiz-fusion | 16:18 |
| Spop | thanks Seveas! | 16:18 |
| crusie | in 32 or 64 bit ? I got a dualcore processor | 16:18 |
| Slart | crusie: a lot has happened since the last LST version.. | 16:18 |
| guardian | Tilllinux: does it come installed with gutsy ? | 16:18 |
| guardian | Tilllinux: or feisty ? | 16:18 |
| Slart | crusie: I'd say 32-bit if you have less than 4gb memory | 16:18 |
| Tilllinux | guardian: with gutsy | 16:18 |
| bazhang | 32bit crusie unless you have 4gb of ram or more | 16:18 |
| crusie | only have 2gb | 16:19 |
| Seveas | guardian, with gutsy and hardy | 16:19 |
| Audacitor | Hey all, having a minor problem. Is there anyway I can boot into Ubuntu from a flash drive on a MacBook? | 16:19 |
| crusie | so 32 bit it is | 16:19 |
| Slart | crusie: 64 bit still has some quirks.. not many.. but still | 16:19 |
| h4L1m | Odd-rationale, thx a lot | 16:19 |
| Seveas | Audacitor, I'm not sure if a macbook can boot from a flashdrive | 16:19 |
| Slart | Audacitor: you can boot ubuntu from flash.. don't know about the macbook part though.. perhaps someone else knows | 16:19 |
| Audacitor | So it seems so far. | 16:19 |
| Roy | Any hints why Gutsy Gibbon on Compaq Presario V3000 freezes and my keyboard refuses to work inspite of disabling the desktop effects? | 16:20 |
| Odd-rationale | h4L1m: np | 16:20 |
| Audacitor | I was wondering if there were a way to trick the MB into thinking the USB drive was a CD drive | 16:20 |
| Slart | Audacitor: hmm.. hard to do that if the operating system isn't loaded yet | 16:20 |
| benny269 | new to ubuntu - can anyone help me get flash please? | 16:21 |
| teo_ | kane77, i get this w3m: Can't load http://localhost:80/server-status. | 16:21 |
| Seveas | !flash | benny269 | 16:21 |
| ubotu | benny269: 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 | 16:21 |
| crusie | hmm any fast mirrors? I'm getting the iso with only 6x kbits.. | 16:21 |
| Slart | Audacitor: most modern motherboard support booting from a usb connected device.. | 16:21 |
| crusie | 6x kbytes even | 16:21 |
| Seveas | crusie, se.releases.ubuntu.com | 16:21 |
| Audacitor | Looking up my MBs mobo... | 16:21 |
| Slart | crusie: use torrents.. or look up a mirror.. they are listed at the ubuntu site | 16:21 |
| Seveas | crusie, depends on where you live though :) | 16:21 |
| msix | can anyone tell me where to find the "debian/config/ARCH" directories ( related to kernel compilation ) | 16:21 |
| |katana| | hey.. I messed up my admin account :p | 16:21 |
| Seveas | msix, in the unpacked source tree of the kernel packages | 16:22 |
| |katana| | I changed the homedir with sudo usermod -d /home/familyname/name user | 16:22 |
| crusie | Slart seems like it's my internet connection then... downloads with 7x kbytes.. | 16:22 |
| guardian | ok thx | 16:22 |
| crusie | now it's below 40.. | 16:22 |
| benny269 | is it possible to change your username? | 16:22 |
| Seveas | benny269, yes | 16:22 |
| |katana| | ..and now some things aren't the same as they used to be.. gnome says 'user's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored.'... File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions [and so on] | 16:23 |
| benny269 | Seveas: how could this be done? | 16:23 |
| Slart | crusie: well.. not a lot you can do then.. =) | 16:23 |
| msix | Seveas : that directory is empty | 16:23 |
| k0d3 | damn..I installed ubuntu last night and I am hella impressed...I tried installing that load of crap Vista half the day never did work took about 10 min on ubuntu | 16:23 |
| oreomike | |katana|, make sure $HOME is set right for your user | 16:23 |
| bazhang | k0d3: welcome! ;] | 16:23 |
| Seveas | benny269, as root, change all occurences of your old username in /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow to the new one and move your homedir from /home/oldusername to /home/newusername | 16:23 |
| Seveas | benny269, but be very careful 'cause if you mess up you can't login :) | 16:24 |
| k0d3 | hehe...had to say it | 16:24 |
| |katana| | oreomike: where can I see that? | 16:24 |
| k0d3 | I use to run Redhat linux back in the day | 16:24 |
| puika | http://lostworlds.lv/go.php?1139637493 | 16:24 |
| benny269 | Seveas: im a newbie - is there any way of doing this via gui or cli? | 16:24 |
| oreomike | |katana| open Terminal and echo $HOME | 16:24 |
| k0d3 | and I still cannot get over how easy it was to install | 16:24 |
| bazhang | pulka not here | 16:24 |
| |katana| | echo $HOME -> is correct | 16:24 |
| Audacitor | hmm... sys profiler won't let me know what mobo I have. So there's no way I can trick into thinking a USB port is an Optical from BootCamp? | 16:24 |
| oreomike | the ls -l $HOME/.d* | 16:24 |
| gribouille | hi | 16:24 |
| oreomike | then ls -l $HOME/.d* | 16:25 |
| k0d3 | Im using Xchat....is that the best or what else does everyone like (if others) | 16:25 |
| tallman_ | k0d3, cogratulations :) | 16:25 |
| oreomike | k0d3 chatzilla | 16:25 |
| gribouille | Hi. if I type, "ulimit -H -m 1000", I get the following error : bash: ulimit: max memory size: cannot modify limit: Invalid argument | 16:25 |
| |katana| | well.. there's nothing in there oreomike.. | 16:25 |
| bazhang | for gnome likely yes k0d3 | 16:25 |
| Slart | k0d3: many people use xchat.. some people like console based irc-clients better | 16:25 |
| newcomer | Hy | 16:25 |
| k0d3 | k..coo | 16:25 |
| |katana| | neither is in the old home directory.. | 16:25 |
| newcomer | hi | 16:25 |
| newcomer | what up folks? | 16:25 |
| newcomer | I have a question | 16:25 |
| oreomike | what does echo $HOME give you, |katana|? | 16:26 |
| Audacitor | Okies then. So thanks anyway guys, I'm off to apple support, maybe they know some voodoo or some such. Later | 16:26 |
| |katana| | ..actually, it seems as if the old homedir is trying to be used.. Since it has .profile, .sudo_as_admin_successful and so on, in it | 16:26 |
| oreomike | the new or old dir? | 16:26 |
| newcomer | does the X-Windowing System in linux based os's is the equivalent to MFC??? | 16:26 |
| Slart | newcomer: just ask.. and let the enter-key rest a bit =) | 16:26 |
| |katana| | echo $HOME gives /home/john, while the new one should be (which I changed with usermod) /home/smith/john | 16:26 |
| Seveas | |katana|, did john log out and log back in? | 16:26 |
| |katana| | oh | 16:26 |
| |katana| | lol | 16:26 |
| |katana| | I mean, echo $HOME gives /home/smith/john, which is correct | 16:27 |
| |katana| | I rebooted | 16:27 |
| Seveas | and does john own /home/smith/john? | 16:27 |
| |katana| | oh.. didn't check that.. I thought usermod -d NEWDIR username would do that | 16:27 |
| |katana| | seems that's the problem :p | 16:27 |
| Seveas | it doesn't | 16:27 |
| |katana| | so how exactly? chmod ...? | 16:28 |
| === reconnect is now known as recon | ||
| blackace11 | could anyone assist me with my wifi ? it recognizes the locations but doesn't connect | 16:28 |
| oreomike | chown john:john /home/smith/john, |katana| | 16:28 |
| |katana| | okaydokay! It works. thx guys :) | 16:29 |
| k0d3 | got a question...when you add servers in xchat-gnome...How do you enter the port? do you just put it after the server name seperated by semi colon? or do you have the option to change the port some where else? | 16:30 |
| Slart | blackace11: more info. .what wifi-chip are you using.. are there any error messages?.. what did you find using google? what did you find when you searched the forums? has it worked before? what version of ubuntu? | 16:30 |
| benny269 | Just installed flashplugin-nonfree via terminal but it hasnt worked, any idea why? | 16:31 |
| soldats | k0d3: when you open the server list click the server and choose edit the change the irc.server.net to irc.server.net/<port> without the <> | 16:31 |
| blackace11 | no error message... i've used it before but not on this install... using fiesty... i used the walkthroug on forumz... and everything worked except connecting | 16:31 |
| Tilllinux | benny269: because the installer was corrupted | 16:31 |
| blackace11 | i'm using a dell d520 latitude | 16:32 |
| benny269 | Tilllinux: how can I get around it? | 16:32 |
| Slart | blackace11: any special reason you're using feisty? why not gutsy? | 16:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | i've noticed if you've just gksu'd a command, it wont ask you your password again for some minutes after you've last typed it in. while this is a nice little feature, i wonder if it's wise, in case, in those minutes, someone gains direct access to your computer. is there a way to modify that behaviour? | 16:32 |
| oreomike | anyone used a laptop docking station? | 16:32 |
| Joelito | Hi all | 16:32 |
| blackace11 | cause that's the one i used last time... | 16:33 |
| k0d3 | soldats: thanks bro =)) | 16:33 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: you can change that in a config file somewhere.. check man sudo | 16:33 |
| Joelito | I downloaded ubuntustudio via apt-get, where are they? I'd like to use them. | 16:33 |
| L3ttuc3 | Slart oh ok, i was looking in the wrong place then (gksu). | 16:33 |
| Tilllinux | benny269: I think it has been corrected in the latest update (but, as usual, I'm not sure ;D ) | 16:33 |
| Joelito | I meant ubuntustudio-sounds | 16:33 |
| tallman_ | benny269, look on the launchpad | 16:33 |
| Slart | blackace11: if I were you I'd try the gutsy live cd and see if it works there.. | 16:33 |
| blackace11 | don't need live cd | 16:33 |
| blackace11 | it says it can update it in the gui | 16:34 |
| benny269 | tallman_: any particular link, or generally? | 16:34 |
| tallman_ | benny269, the easiest way would be to grab manually the hardy package | 16:34 |
| blackace11 | the update manager says new distribution update... should i do that? | 16:34 |
| === LifeHacker is now known as tuxmaniac | ||
| benny269 | tallman_: can you walk me through that please? | 16:35 |
| Slart | blackace11: yes.. I just figured it would be a lot less work to just try out the live cd before going through the whole updating thing | 16:35 |
| Tiii72 | htrjdsx | 16:35 |
| tallman_ | benny269, I'll give you the link | 16:35 |
| adobongkangkong | hi i found a new mono-1.2.6+dfsg in "http://archive.ubuntu.com" but how come it's not installable through synaptic and how come i didn't received any update? | 16:35 |
| blackace11 | yeah i don't have live cd of it so ... yeah lol | 16:35 |
| |katana| | seems there's a lot of samba gui's. Should I just try one or does some1 have a suggestion? | 16:35 |
| adobongkangkong | |katana| : GSamba | 16:36 |
| tallman_ | benny269, 32 or 64 bit? | 16:36 |
| oreomike | |katana|, on gutsy i can connect right to a share via Places | 16:36 |
| Slart | blackace11: if you have a cd-burner you can always download and burn.. it's very possible your problem is solvable without upgrading but I wouldn't know how.. my wireless worked out of the box with gutsy | 16:37 |
| rvalles | I'm having serious stability problems (can't switch users!) with current propietary nvidia driver packages @ ubuntu. Is there any extra repo or something with up to date propietary nvidia drivers? It seems hardy has recent (169.09) nvidia drivers... any way to use them from gutsy? | 16:37 |
| blackace11 | kk | 16:37 |
| devicex | okey | 16:37 |
| blackace11 | yeah i would have to overwrite a cd so i'm just updating.. | 16:37 |
| benny269 | tallman_: its a amd64 chip but not sure on distro, how can i check? | 16:37 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: did you find what you were looking for? cause I looked around and didn't find it=/.. I'm pretty sure I've read about it somewhere though | 16:38 |
| TreeLeaf | Can someone tell me how to find out what type of motherboard I have short of opening it up? Thanks for any help. | 16:38 |

| L3ttuc3 | Slart i found the sudo -v command actually does that. there's something about timestamps inside /var/run/sudo. but no, no config file. | 16:39 |
| tallman_ | benny269, try uname -m | 16:39 |

| Vadi | What is the command to manually go through the X server configuration? | 16:40 |
| benny269 | tallman_: what does that mean? | 16:40 |
| |katana| | oreomike: cool.. but actually I want to share a folder on the network | 16:40 |
| benny269 | soldats: thanks buddy | 16:40 |
| Vadi | adobongkangkong: Go to system - administration - software sources | 16:40 |
| L3ttuc3 | Slart so, no, not really a way to modify the behaviour system-wide. now that's purely academical, i was just thinking it was not terribly security conscious to allow free reign to that. | 16:40 |
| |katana| | it's a printer/samba server | 16:40 |
| tallman_ | benny269, that will show the arch | 16:40 |
| adobongkangkong | <Vadi> : all my repos are enabled | 16:40 |
| Vadi | adobongkangkong: click on the updates tab, and make sure "gutsy-updates" is checked off | 16:40 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: hang on a minute.. I'm very sure I've read about it.. I'm still searching though | 16:40 |
| bazhang | rodserling: it is safe now | 16:40 |
| adobongkangkong | <Vadi> awkie i'll try | 16:40 |
| benny269 | tallman_: x86_64 it says | 16:40 |
| Vadi | adobongkangkong: also see that this new mono is for gutsy. It might be in hardy. | 16:40 |
| thekillah | good morning | 16:41 |
| L3ttuc3 | Slart sure, thanks. | 16:41 |
| adobongkangkong | <Vadi> : if it's for hardy can i build it from source? | 16:41 |
| Vadi | adobongkangkong: You can download an installer off mono's website and use that. | 16:41 |
| thekillah | whats the best method to setup a nfs share ? | 16:41 |
| Steelx01 | Hey, I'm a first time Ubuntu/Linux user and my audio is pretty dead.. I've already set it to the right speakers and everything in volume control | 16:41 |
| oreomike | system -> administration -> shared folders, |katana| | 16:42 |
| adobongkangkong | <Vadi> : that would be nice but i'ts an unstandard way it might mess things up... | 16:42 |
| oreomike | |katana| prompted me to install smbd | 16:42 |
| |katana| | I started from the server version of ubuntu.. So everything should already be in place. | 16:42 |
| |katana| | oh, srr, didn't read your last reply | 16:43 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: it's in the file /etc/sudoers | 16:43 |
| L3ttuc3 | Slart ah ok. let me have a look then. | 16:43 |
| L3ttuc3 | Slart i had naively assumed that was just a file with a list of users allowed to su and sudo. | 16:43 |
| tallman_ | benny269, http://www.opensourcemirrors.org/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu4_amd64.deb | 16:44 |
| oreomike | |katana|, a much better option than using the desktop version ;-) Not an expert on that, so good luck. | 16:44 |
| Slart | L3ttuc3: it is =) but you can set some defaults for those users too | 16:44 |
| |katana| | so you're saying samba is a better option then the 'shared folders'-thingy of ubuntu-desktop? | 16:44 |
| |katana| | thx 4 the luck, I'll need it :p | 16:45 |
| benny269 | tallman_: thank you | 16:45 |
| Vadi | What is the command to manually go through the X server configuration? | 16:45 |
| |katana| | sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf :p | 16:45 |
| benny269 | tallman_: lol i get a 403 error saying i dont have permission to view that page | 16:45 |
| Slart | Number of minutes that can elapse before sudo will ask for a passwd again. The default is 15. Set this to 0 to | 16:45 |
| Slart | always prompt for a password. If set to a value less than 0 the user’s timestamp will never expire. This can be | 16:45 |
| Slart | used to allow users to create or delete their own timestamps via sudo -v and sudo -k respectively. | 16:45 |
| oreomike | |katana| I mean server is better than Ubuntu desktop. I've never used server, so things may be in different places | 16:45 |
| Vadi | No, where it asks you questions. | 16:45 |
| Slart | doh.. | 16:45 |
| Slart | sorry | 16:45 |
| FloodBot3 | Slart: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 16:45 |
| pihhan | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 16:45 |
| |katana| | no, sorry, was joking.. I think it's something like X-config or xorg-config orso? | 16:45 |
| Vadi | pihhan: thanks | 16:46 |

| sarthor | bazhang, Ok..pool is also not working fomr. | 17:22 |
| sarthor | for me. | 17:22 |
| Slart | r45c41: if I recall correctly | 17:22 |
| GreenByte | danand_, yes | 17:22 |
| r45c41 | :) ok | 17:22 |
| benny269 | tomd123: trying to download says "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libflashsupport" | 17:22 |
| sarthor | bazhang, and i have used be4, but i reinstalled, and its not working now. | 17:23 |
| GreenByte | danad_, with my Canon it works.. | 17:23 |
| GreenByte | danad_, it's just the olympus which doesn't work | 17:23 |
| r45c41 | where can i get kword ten | 17:23 |
| lollo | sry guys but i've noticed the weak online gaming network while there's a mp3 player running ... when i close the player the network turns back to work fast ... ! is it a weak point of ubuntu ? | 17:23 |
| Slart | you can open pdf's in gimp.. doesn't mean you can do anything sensible to it =) | 17:23 |
| r45c41 | sudo apt-get insall kword will work?? | 17:23 |
| pihhan | r45c41: try installing kword package from synaptic, with all its depencies | 17:24 |
| danand_ | GreenByte - ok can you "mount" the camera the same way as you would with a usb stick? | 17:24 |
| TheK | :'( | 17:24 |
| r45c41 | pihhan: ok bro | 17:24 |
| redmonkey | pihhan: do you know if it's possible to build the playlist for ices2 while running the stream? | 17:24 |
| ubuntu | how can i pastebin the file ? | 17:24 |
| TheK | nickrud: No luck. Still running Xgl. | 17:24 |
| danand_ | !pastebin | ubuntu | 17:24 |
| ubotu | ubuntu: 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) | 17:24 |
| GreenByte | danand_, well.. normally I just use the program that automatically starts when I plugin in the camera. But it doesn't appear and my camera screen still says: Waiting... | 17:25 |
| benny269 | does anyone know what "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libflashsupport" means? | 17:25 |
| pihhan | redmonkey: dont know really, i had used it for very simple things only. i think ices or maybe icecast2 itself allow sending signal there to reload playlist | 17:25 |
| GreenByte | danand_, it isn't at the 'places' | 17:25 |
| bazhang | sarthor: there are tons of games available under emulation on ubuntu--if yahoo games are a must for you (especially dots) then not sure how to help you out there | 17:26 |
| === ishai is now known as keeflook | ||
| GreenByte | danad_, fixed it | 17:26 |
| GreenByte | danand_, the program appeared 0.o | 17:26 |
| GreenByte | strange | 17:26 |
| danand_ | GreenByte - I had this problem with a sony camera - I had to change the usb mode the camera used to usb mass storage | 17:26 |
| sarthor | bazhang, can you give me the link for that tons of game ;) | 17:26 |
| GreenByte | danand_, I did something like that y | 17:27 |
| nickrud | TheK: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl , the xgl option on gdm probably will stop working completely. | 17:27 |
| danand_ | GreenByte - at least its working now :) | 17:27 |
| winter-mute | hi, where do i get mencoder? | 17:28 |
| q_a_z_steve | nickrud: Hey, how's it going? | 17:28 |
| GreenByte | danand_, yes :) and it's my sisters camera.. I use a good canon one which always works :) | 17:28 |
| winter-mute | its not with mplayer and there seems to be no package for it | 17:28 |
| ubuntu | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55368/ | 17:28 |
| pihhan | mplayerhq.hu, compile it | 17:28 |
| wyclif | qut | 17:28 |
| wyclif | quit | 17:28 |
| TheK | nickrud: Seems dangerous ;) | 17:28 |
| winter-mute | mmm? I really don't know how do it, plus theres trillion options for it | 17:29 |
| winter-mute | isn't there an ubuntu deb for t? | 17:29 |

| nickrud | TheK: not really, you'll fall back to normal X in gnome. If all else fails, ctl-alt-f2 , log in and sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl ;) | 17:31 |
| nickrud | TheK: clt-alt-f7 to get back to the gui login | 17:31 |
| TheK | nickrud: ok, I'll give it a shot. But does this mean that Xgl doesn't have an opengl api at all? | 17:31 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - try commenting out the line "hiddenmenu" ie change it to #hiddenmenu | 17:31 |
| joanki | its a dell laser printer | 17:31 |

| bazhang | Shrugz: how much ram and what system gutsy? | 17:36 |
| danand_ | joanki - use the printing tool in System -> Admin -> printing. Click add new printer button. I think you want to add a printer with ipp (internet printing protocol) for a network printer. The GUI will ask you for the address of the printer | 17:36 |
| Shrugz | yes gutsy | 17:36 |
| Shrugz | and i beleave i got a lil over 300mb of ram | 17:37 |

| fez | say i was wondering, is it possible to just pop in the 7.10 install CD, and use qtparted to resize my windows partition so I can have windows and linux installed side by side, or does qtparted not exist on the ubuntu install CD | 17:38 |
| Itaku | everyone of them are at 100 except for the mics | 17:38 |
| Slart | fez: I'm not sure if it's installed by default.. but you can install it when your using the live cd | 17:38 |
| bazhang | fez well there is parted though I believe it is gparted | 17:39 |
| Slart | fez: if you have an internet-connection | 17:39 |
| danand_ | joanki - are you using a router with dhcp server etc or just a plain switch | 17:39 |
| vallhalla82 | can anyone sugest a distro to install to a pda? | 17:39 |
| Itaku | everyone of them are at 100 except for the mics | 17:39 |
| benny269 | flash is working, thanks to all the helped | 17:39 |

| winter-mute | as per: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder i should be able to install mencoder, is there another repository I need to add to install mencoder? | 17:39 |
| joanki | darn those are tough qs.... i dunno what that stuff means my bro-in-law hooked it up, danand_, but i do have the printer name/ip address | 17:39 |
| Slart | Itaku: take a breath.. no need to repeat things every minute | 17:39 |
| WorldBFree | how can i boot up the iso from the hd? | 17:39 |
| bazhang | heh | 17:39 |
| Itaku | i need this answered im having a party come over in 10 mins | 17:39 |
| SuperQ | vallhalla82: depends what PDA | 17:39 |
| Slart | fez: I think it does.. backup your important stuff though | 17:40 |
| fez | i think ubuntu would gain much more popularity if you could resize an existing windows partition to install windows/linux side by side, and be able to do so right out of the box | 17:40 |
| joanki | denand_ where it says Host: is that where i enter the ip addy? | 17:40 |
| Slart | Itaku: well.. repeating it every minute will only make people annoyed and less likely to answer your question | 17:40 |
| SuperQ | fez: it does that | 17:40 |
| danand_ | joanki - ok the "hostname" is probably just the ip address in this instance | 17:40 |
| Itaku | well i need this answered and fixed asap | 17:40 |
| vallhalla82 | SuperQ i dont havt it yet so cant give many of the stats it curntly has win mobile on it | 17:40 |
| SuperQ | vallhalla82: there are very few choices for winmo devices | 17:41 |
| Slart | Itaku: then perhaps you should give canonical a call.. they have support where you can make demands.. we're all volunteers here | 17:41 |

| SuperQ | symlink: use winscp | 17:41 |
| Slart | Itaku: if I tell you the phone-number.. will you ask me how to use the phone? | 17:42 |
| danand_ | joanki - think you might be able to add anything for the hostname ie Dell_Laser - think the url is where you put the ip address in the form //192.168.*.*/ipp | 17:42 |
| hypn0 | loa: try dreamchess | 17:42 |
| Itaku | no | 17:42 |

| r0bby | Atlast: you can do that in pm you know. | 17:57 |

| danand_ | ubuntu - I think error 15 means grub can't find the file specified for the kernel - check the entries in your menu.lst file are pointing to the right place | 17:59 |
| achandrashekar | anyone familiar with LTSP clustering on ubuntu? | 18:00 |
| cafka | how to change apache2 network interface from eth0 to eth1.. ?? can i?? | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | !ltsp | 18:00 |
| ubotu | LTSP is the Linux Terminal Server Project, which adds thin-client support to Linux servers. See chapter 3 of the !edubuntuhandbook, http://www.ltsp.org and/or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Terminal_Server_Project | 18:00 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - (hd0,9) means first disk, tenth partition I think. Check thats where your /boot partition resides | 18:01 |
| ubuntu | danand_ : i read the syntax of the file online and i think eveythin is right , the only thing that um not sure about is the "hd0" i have the ubuntu on sda5 not hda5 ! | 18:01 |
| ubuntu | danand_ : should it b hd0 ? | 18:02 |
| Slart | cafka: have you checked the documentation for apache? I think there is a line that starts with "listen" or something where you can specify which interfaces you want apache to.. well.. listen on | 18:02 |
| DPic | anybody know if Ubuntu works with ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600? I'm thinking of buying a laptop with that | 18:02 |
| mjw- | ubuntu: linux these days uses the sdXX designations for all drives I think. | 18:02 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - that would probably be your problem then :) - where did hd0,9 come from? | 18:03 |
| cafka | Slart, thnx that really helped me :) | 18:03 |
| === bmk789_shower is now known as bmk789 | ||
| mjw- | DPic It's probably not going to work as well/easily as an intel or nvidia card would | 18:03 |
| ubuntu | i dunno , it was like this when i first edited it so i didn't wanna change it | 18:03 |
| achandrashekar | yes..i know what ltsp..not sure if that post was to educate everyone else....my question was about clustering and ltsp and specifically how to do it. :/ | 18:03 |
| guest2 | hay got my linux live cd working | 18:03 |
| Slart | cafka: I'm not entirely sure if you're being serious there.. but it's in the httpd.conf .. or whereever they moved the stuff to | 18:03 |
| ubuntu | danand_ : so wut should it be ? sd0 ? | 18:04 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - hd is for ide disks sda is for scsi or sata disks | 18:04 |
| DPic | mjw-: do you know where i can find specific information on whether or not it will work? | 18:04 |

| guest2 | anyone here try sam linux live cd? | 18:05 |
| Atlast | danand_: in grub, hard disk appear as hdx,y no matter if they are IDE or SATA | 18:05 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - can you pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l | 18:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mjw-: It calls my ide... sda as well | 18:05 |
| bazhang | guest2: try #fedora | 18:05 |
| adema_ | i need some help ... i'm using a wifi dongle TP-LINK TL-WN321G and i'm using rt2x00 driver, but i can't use my dongle with network manager | 18:05 |

| bazhang | sam is based on #fedora guest2 | 18:06 |
| fivetwentysix | guest2 : Try looking at the official website of your live cd. | 18:06 |
| mjw- | danand_ I think it was a linux kernel change at some point. It used to be hdXX was for IDE and sdXX was for SCSI. Nowadays everything is sdXX I think | 18:06 |
| guest2 | just trying the os | 18:06 |
| danand_ | mjw- - mine is still hda etc in my /boot/grub/menu.lst !! | 18:07 |
| adelie42 | it appears all the repos are down. anyone else getting this problem? | 18:07 |
| mjw- | interesting | 18:07 |
| danand_ | mjw- - I would say "strange" :) | 18:07 |
| fivetwentysix | A lot of people tell me Linux has better memory management than Windows. Is there any proof? | 18:07 |
| Atlast | mjw-: what you say about the linux kernel is true, but still, grub is a separate program from the kernel. It still uses hdx,y | 18:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danand_: boot grub is different than inside ubuntu | 18:07 |

| danand_ | Jack_Sparrow - ok - user ubuntu is having error 15 problems with grub - this means grub can't find his kernel image/file right?? | 18:11 |
| capricorn^80 | i am not getting some good tutorials of apparmour | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sarthor: Very few of those built in card readers work... | 18:11 |
| mjw- | kazim59 /dev/sda6 would = hd(0,5) in grub I thought... | 18:11 |
| Gpalco | Please tell me how to setup Tracker to start indexing files !!! | 18:11 |
| capricorn^80 | refer me some good links for it configuration | 18:11 |
| Slart | RB2: what happens if you run firefox yourhtmlfilenamehere ? | 18:11 |
| Slart | Gpalco: I think it does by default | 18:11 |
| schasi | hi ther | 18:11 |
| schasi | e | 18:11 |
| sarthor | Jack_Sparrow, its works on Windows | 18:11 |
| SoL | hi, i installed VirtualBox, after created virtual interfaces tap0 and connected him with eth0, with help bridge - br0. After dont work nmap =( | 18:11 |
| RB2 | Slart, I'll try it that way. The strange thing is that if I double-click on the html file, it opens it in ff. :-/ | 18:11 |
| Atlast | kazim59: what is sda4? | 18:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | danand_: I would not know without looking it up | 18:11 |
| SoL | sorry my english | 18:12 |
| Gpalco | Slart, it did with emails, but not with files! | 18:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sarthor: Thats because it has propietary windows drivers | 18:12 |
| kazim59 | Atlast: that was a boot partition of an earlier ubuntu I had... that's no problem at all. | 18:12 |
| schasi | Shouldn't there have been randr 1.2 in feisty? There seems to be only version 1.1 available | 18:12 |
| dick | #soccer | 18:12 |
| danand_ | mjw- - going on whats been discussed sda6 would be hd0,5 yes | 18:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 18:12 |
| Gpalco | Slart, is there a way to see the index ??? | 18:12 |
| Slart | RB2: very strange | 18:12 |
| capricorn^80 | Slart: if i have to configure some thing then i need it manually | 18:12 |
| symlink | SuperQ, Remember that ftp/scp problem you helped me with.... I forgot all about having firestarter running | 18:12 |
| Slart | Gpalco: I don't know.. I've turned tracker off.. it was being a pest on my system | 18:13 |
| sarthor | Jack_Sparrow, So what you advice? Leave it with out wasting more time over this issue?? | 18:13 |
| Slart | capricorn^80: huh? | 18:13 |
| abdulla | translator plugin for kopete isnt working :S it doesnt translate same thing with aytmm messenger | 18:13 |
| sarthor | abdulla, Salam | 18:13 |
| kazim59 | mjw-: on pressing tab after typing (hd0, ... GRUB displays hd0,0, then hd0,2, continuing till hd0,6. Somehow it won't show (hd0,1) and hence /dev/sda6 maps to hd0,6 in GRUB too. | 18:13 |
| ubuntu | danand_ : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55379/ | 18:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sarthor: I spent $4 at frys to solve that one | 18:13 |
| sarthor | Jack_Sparrow, i only can spent time .. not $s ;) Dont have that. | 18:14 |
| abdulla | sarthor, Walaikom Alsallam [[ May Peace Mercy and Blessings of Allah (SWT) of ( All Mighty GOD ) be on you ]] | 18:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sarthor: Actually, there was a $4 rebate all I paid was the tax | 18:14 |
| mjw- | kazim59 ohhh, I think I see an issue here. sda2 is, as a whole, an extended logical drive that contains sda3-sda6...maybe grub can't boot from extended partitions | 18:14 |
| mjw- | kazim59 I know windows can't | 18:14 |
| Gpalco | Slart, then TRACKER is just worthless app, there is no support channel for it, and noubuntu user seem to be using it! Just worhless then | 18:14 |
| Atlast | kazim59: does seem a little strange, but do you know how your partitions are setup? That is by looking at GParted? | 18:14 |
| sarthor | abdulla, Saw your name, so just loved to say salam O Alykum to you. take your time please | 18:14 |
| Slart | Gpalco: this is the first version it's been installed by default on.. perhaps it will be great and awsome on hardy.. who knows =) | 18:15 |
| abdulla | translator plugin for kopete doesnt work does it require any more dependencies ? when it actually comes in by default with kopete. | 18:15 |
| kazim59 | mjw-: GRUB can boot from extended partitions. Windows can't, true. | 18:16 |
| lynucs | i have compiled ubuntu-kernel with the make-kpkg --initrd --revision binary method.. now i notice, i forgot the fuse module.. ist it possible to add the module, without rewriting and reinstalling the whole packages?? | 18:16 |
| kazim59 | Atlast: GParted fails showing a critical error and doesn't show me anything... | 18:16 |
| mjw- | kazim59 what is sda4...? | 18:16 |
| lesshaste | I would to make a file which I mount via loopback to fake having another partition | 18:16 |
| ubuntu | danand_ , Jack_Sparrow : that's my menu.lst -->http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55381/ | 18:16 |
| lesshaste | how do you do that? | 18:16 |
| bmk789 | why would lsusb randomly show my webcam? some reboots it shows and some it doesnt exist | 18:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kazim59: My ubuntu is on sda7 which is extended if that helps | 18:17 |
| Atlast | kazim59: I believe you can use "fsck" to fix the problem of the cylinders and then continue. But I've never done it. | 18:17 |
| kazim59 | mjw-: A boot partition for an old Ubuntu I had.... that is not important now | 18:17 |
| lesshaste | basically I want to make a disk image | 18:17 |
| Gpalco | Slart, I would like to help develop it's resourses or translate it, but there no one to be contacted about it. Seems like a dead project, or may be a one person project. But with such anice advertisment! | 18:18 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - if your /boot folder/partition is on /dev/hda5 that would translate to (hd0,6) in your menu.lst file, if /boot is on /dev/sda9 then that would be (hda0,9) | 18:18 |
| Slart | Gpalco: oh.. I thought it had some developers.. that's to bad | 18:18 |
| Bobby | ... | 18:18 |

| rendero | hi, anybody knows about some tutorial the most explicit as possible to learn iptables ? I also want to know something is not clear for me, like the forward chains | 18:18 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - try putting hd0,6 in your menu.lst file instead and see if you have any luck | 18:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu: So you are trying to boot from sda10 | 18:19 |
| ubuntu | danand_ : it is sda9 indeed ! | 18:19 |

| Shuggle | bazhang: I've used truecrypt before. What I would like is something that encrypts the harddrive that ubuntu is currently running on, and the swap | 18:30 |
| jrib | Gpalco: yeah, it redirects to irc.gimp.org | 18:30 |
| danand_ | ubuntu - just replace (hd0,9) with (hd0,8) in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file | 18:30 |
| ere4si | nom_, there's ffmpeg - it's command line but well documented | 18:30 |
| Shuggle | bazhang: will truecrypt do that? | 18:30 |

| idyllic | hi, is there away to manual change dependencies of packages? say, i got java6 installed, but the package insists on install java5 dependency else it will not allow me to proceed. thanks =) | 18:32 |
| abdulla | nom_, i think their are free software but u can get nonfree which offers a 14 day trail then swift your card and you have it :) but if you want piracy then i guess torrents share the Second World for free | 18:32 |
| jrib | idyllic: what package? | 18:32 |
| dru | i want to manage my website with a dedicated server but do not know what to do ... i can support 100$ a month, can someone point me in the right direction or guide me? | 18:32 |

| Bakefy | How can I see if my raid card is detected by ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| jrib | idyllic: dependencies are there because the program will not run correctly without them, they aren't optional things | 18:34 |
| mjw- | newbuntu22 actually the easiest way to fix things may be to just switch the monitors cables on the back of the computer :) | 18:34 |
| abdulla | nom_, not second world thats a philosophical talk lol | 18:34 |
| mjw- | Bakefy lspci | 18:34 |
| Gpalco | jrib, it is not connecting with me. I gonnected here, so it is probably not me where the problem is. Thank you very much. Any way. So does it index your files? | 18:34 |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| newbuntu22 | mjw: one is a dvi, and the other is a vga that connects to my lcd tv | 18:34 |
| newbuntu22 | so that won't work for me | 18:34 |
| bazhang | dru perhaps dreamhost | 18:34 |
| abdulla | nom_, any torrent site just search through app and type convert | 18:34 |
| jrib | Gpalco: yes, it indexes my files. There are bugs on bugs.ubuntu.com though, maybe you are experiencing one of them | 18:34 |
| mjw- | newbuntu22 I'm not familiar with how the nvidia drivers do dualhead, so I can't help you much beyond that | 18:35 |
| bazhang | abdulla please not here | 18:35 |
| ere4si | Tiven, I get that sometimes and removing/reinserting the usb mouse gets it working again - tried that? | 18:35 |
| jrib | Gpalco: iirc, I had to delete my index when I upgraded and let tracker reindex everything again | 18:35 |
| dru | bazhand: naw thats shared, i need dedicated | 18:35 |
| abdulla | newbuntu22, is it a laptop? | 18:35 |
| idyllic | jrib: nope, if no Kontact or Kdepim installed, there will be no contact integration. That's all. I just want the notepad programme and nothing else. | 18:35 |
| newbuntu22 | abdulla: no, a dekstop | 18:36 |
| bazhang | dru not really an ubuntu question thoug ;]h | 18:36 |
| idyllic | jrib: so is glassfish... i already got java6.. why do it insist me on using java5 | 18:36 |
| Gpalco | jrib, thank you very much foranswering. will it now. thank you | 18:36 |
| abdulla | newbuntu22, its not a big problem edit xorg | 18:36 |
| Tiven | ere4si , yes , it doesnt work :(( . i even tried every single usb option at my bios but nothing works. its like after 2 seconds , usb doesnt work at all | 18:36 |

| herbaliser | hi is there a way to extract a .bin file? | 18:36 |
| herbaliser | or mount it like iso | 18:36 |
| jrib | idyllic: having said that, You have two options. Look into equivs to make a dummy "kontact" package or 'apt-get source' the package and edit the files in the debian directory. But this will make your computer explode etc.... | 18:37 |
| erUSUL | !iso | herbaliser | 18:37 |
| ubotu | herbaliser: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 18:37 |

| abdulla | newbuntu22, in the xorg.conf see Section Screen do you have this line - Option "UseDisplayDevice" ? | 18:37 |

| mjw- | Bakefy use gparted, cfdisk, or another partitioning program to see if linux can see the drives | 18:37 |
| jrib | !source > idyllic (read the private message from ubotu) | 18:37 |

| ThistleWeb | Hi all, I wonder if anyone can tell me how to enable tab completion in the Gnome terminal | 18:38 |
| slayer | hello all | 18:38 |
| luchador | Im currently using ubuntu 7.10, what all do i have to do to make a windows xp boot? | 18:38 |
| * InspectorCluseau so many 'experts'....so few experts | 18:39 | |
| luchador | InspectorCluseau lmao | 18:39 |
| Seveas | rendero, buy the "iptables quick reference" book from oreilly, it's small cheap and good | 18:39 |
| luchador | nice name | 18:39 |
| Starseed | luchador, do you have it installed on another partition ? | 18:39 |
| mjw- | ThistleWeb it's not enabled by default? | 18:39 |
| ere4si | Tiven, maybe the hal daemon isn't running after login - let me read some stuff | 18:39 |
| luchador | no Starseed i only have ubuntu 7.10 right now | 18:39 |
| bazhang | http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html rendero | 18:39 |
| adelie42 | Hmm... I have squid installed, and ever since only firefox can make a direct connection to the internet, and every other apps needs to use the proxy to connect to the internet. why can't I connect normally? | 18:39 |
| newbuntu22 | abdulla: how would you modify my xorg.conf file? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55389/ | 18:39 |
| Seveas | ThistleWeb, gnome-terminal has no tab completion, the shell running in it has. | 18:39 |
| abdulla | newbuntu22, im sure you are not setting it correctly , maybe you have the command line but its the CRT 1 and 2 maybe yours is named CRT 0 or maybe CRT something lets not go deep see what your xorg says | 18:39 |
| bmk789 | still no webcam on lsusb :\ | 18:39 |
| Tiven | ere4si thanks !! | 18:40 |
| Slart | ThistleWeb: I'm surprised it isn't enabled by default.. check .bashrc in your home folder | 18:40 |
| rvalles | I'm having serious stability problems (can't switch users! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/144732 ) with current propietary nvidia driver packages @ ubuntu. Is there any extra repo or something with up to date propietary nvidia drivers? It seems hardy has recent (169.09) nvidia drivers... any way to use them from gutsy? | 18:40 |
| Starseed | luchador, you can dual boot, using grub .. I always do wndows , then linux .. XP will overwrite the MBR , and you'll have to boot into a live cd enviorment to fix | 18:40 |
| ThistleWeb | it's just beeping when I hit tab, it should be completing | 18:40 |
| archangelpetro | is there a way to cat * files in a directory and grep for a string, but then reveal which file the matched string is in? | 18:40 |
| rendero | anybody to tell me what is the forward chain in iptables ? | 18:40 |
| Slart | InspectorCluseau: convert the bin to an iso.. mount with.. well.. mount | 18:40 |
| ThistleWeb | will check bashrc | 18:40 |
| luchador | wait what? | 18:40 |
| Seveas | archangelpetro, grep string_here * | 18:41 |
| Slart | ThistleWeb: are you sure there is anything it can complete to? | 18:41 |

| newbuntu22 | abdulla: that's part of my problem... i see my 'dell 2707' named a few times, but i dont see my tv mentioned... | 18:41 |
| archangelpetro | lol Seveas my horrible badness, im too used to cat * and piping it into grep | 18:41 |
| ThistleWeb | yeah | 18:41 |
| newbuntu22 | abdulla: both my monitor and TV are lcds | 18:41 |
| fiXXXerMet | I plugged my camera into my computer via usb and it isn't being detected? It is set to mass storage mode and it used to work on 7.04 | 18:41 |

| abdulla | so it logs in your monitor | 18:41 |
| abdulla | not TV | 18:41 |
| Seveas | rendero, it's the chain that hooks between input and output for forwarded packages | 18:41 |

| bmk789 | k | 18:42 |
| rendero | Seveas, i know, but i do not know what is that really | 18:42 |
| ere4si | Tiven, with the usb mouse in and you logged in type in a terminal - sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart - and see if the mouse is seen then | 18:42 |
| Slart | adelie42: I don't think squid knows what application is trying to connect.. I might be wrong though | 18:42 |
| Seveas | rendero, then follow my advise and buy that book | 18:42 |

| Bakefy | mjw- gparted sees my disks, but I was thinking that it would only see one, because I set up a mirror raid. | 18:45 |
| Slart | uman: netstat can help you find what is using port 222 | 18:46 |
| hotmonkeyluv | so, stupid me! I forgot to make a backup of my xorg.conf!! now i'm mousepadless. is there any way to redo the xorg.conf file? or am I SOL, and need to spend tons of time figuring it out manually? | 18:46 |
| mjw- | Bakefy is this a hardware RAID card? | 18:46 |
| abdulla | newbuntu22, wait i said option usedisplaydevice CRt | 18:46 |
| ubud | is there a handbrake similar software for ubuntu? | 18:46 |

| Dave | When I put by system into standby mode and come back out of it, by wireless connection does not work. I am useing a static IP with wpa2 personal connection. | 18:46 |

| Bakefy | mjw- I believe so, its got it buit in, I set it in the startup | 18:46 |
| adelie42 | slart so it could be automatically functioning as a firewall by default? | 18:46 |
| Slart | adelie42: well.. kind of.. yes | 18:47 |
| ThistleWeb | my bad, I got my syntax wrong, tab completion is on | 18:47 |
| ThistleWeb | thanks for the help anyway | 18:47 |
| jetscreamer | Dave: i don't remember but that is common, so the answer is going to be relatively easy to find | 18:47 |

| adelie42 | slart well, at least you are making sense. Gonna go poke through the config file. maybe there is a 'local policy off' option | 18:49 |
| ubuntu | Jack_Sparrow : it didn't work :( | 18:49 |

| Bakefy | mjw, not sure, I will keep reserching, at least it sees it... the card shows up on the lspci | 18:49 |
| uman | Slart: thanks. i simply typed "netstat" in the terminal but wasn't able to see the port connections where using. i suppose theres something i have to add to the netstat command..? | 18:49 |
| hotmonkeyluv | Slart: there is a file called xorg.conf(tilde), but it looks like it has some changes made to it from the origional | 18:49 |
| hotmonkeyluv | erUSUL: k | 18:49 |

| AstorZZZ | Hello there, i have hdd 20gb, one partition 20gb ntfs (winxp), partition has 4 free gigs. How do i resize existing ntfs partition to 16gb using live CD? | 18:54 |
| Slart | hotmonkeyluv: hmm.. never messed with mousepads in xorg.. where did you find out how to do it? | 18:54 |
| tiven | hi ere4si !! i disabled usb legacy and it seems it can boot now | 18:54 |
| Slart | !gparted | AstorZZZ | 18:54 |
| ubotu | AstorZZZ: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 18:54 |
| hotmonkeyluv | Slart: man synaptics | 18:55 |
| ere4si | tiven, tried the mouse yet? | 18:55 |
| willytell_ | hi | 18:55 |
| thug_life | Gparted is already on the livecd | 18:55 |
| tiven | ere4si: i noticed something really interesting ! ( my usb keyboard works btw forgot to tell you ) - the mouse works but if i move it too fast , it will just stuck again like the other times | 18:55 |
| hotmonkeyluv | slart: its incredibly comprehensive for a mousepad utility | 18:55 |
| tiven | ere4si: i also changed the volume up/down on my keyboard control , too fast and it doesnt work anymore either like before | 18:56 |
| hacked`` | guys | 18:56 |
| hacked`` | if i wanted to install ubuntu, as a dual boot with winxp, can i just boot up with the ubuntu install cd, and it will create another partition for me? | 18:56 |
| tiven | its like... when i do something too fast / on repeat and its usb , it gets stuck | 18:56 |
| hacked`` | or do i have to use partition magic or some other util, first. | 18:56 |

| hotmonkeyluv | yeah | 18:57 |
| hotmonkeyluv | cool, huh? | 18:57 |
| tiven | ere4si: latest bios | 18:57 |
| Slart | hotmonkeyluv: from what I see you have to enable the scrolling area and then change RightEdge to make it the right size.. sounds familiar? | 18:57 |
| ere4si | tiven, try the command I gave when it gets "stuck" and see if that frees it | 18:57 |
| hotmonkeyluv | Slart: of course you get carried away..."OMG! cool! I want it to do that too!" five minutes later....no mousepad | 18:57 |
| tiven | ere4si: give me the command again please , i rebooted | 18:58 |

| ffm | deniz_: ouch. | 19:28 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0" - this was what was entered automagically on system install. Xubuntu. | 19:28 |

| ffm | Voyage_: then it isn't supported, or you spell poorly. | 19:29 |
| L3ttuc3 | wweasel try mount /dev/sdc /media/cdrom0 ? | 19:29 |
| faemir | General question to all: Do you use ~/ to store all stuff like music pics movies etc? If not then where do you put that stuff? | 19:29 |
| mjw- | acee1234 what does glxinfo | grep -i direct return? | 19:29 |
| xtknight | faemir, yes that is your user dir | 19:29 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, But you'll notice there's no mention of the cdrom drive in dmesg | 19:29 |
| xtknight | faemir, it's like My Documents | 19:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: http://www.milinds.com/ubuntu_linux_how_get_dwl_g122_rev_d1_work_ubuntu_7_04_fiesty_052007 might be what you need | 19:29 |
| L3ttuc3 | wweasel yes, i did notice that. | 19:29 |
| faemir | xtknight, I know what it is >_> | 19:29 |
| luca | does anyone know why firefox crash when attempting to watch movie ? i have all the plugins | 19:29 |

| L3ttuc3 | wweasel hmm. ide cdrom? | 19:30 |
| deniz_ | ffm, its still unraring | 19:30 |
| mjw- | acee1234 hm, what kind of graphics card is it? | 19:30 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, Yep! It's in my second IDE channel. | 19:30 |
| acee1234 | mjw-: ati x1400 | 19:30 |

| mjw- | acee1234 did you install the restricted driver from the restricted drivers manager? | 19:31 |

| === ejj is now known as robo | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | luca: What was installed, upgraded or changed? | 19:31 |
| ffm | Voyage_: it isn't avalible in ubuntu then. | 19:31 |
| Tiven | ere4si you still there ? | 19:31 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, It's possible i can hack it fixed by just changing which IDE channel the drive is on. | 19:32 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, would i go thru same steps just with rev b driver? | 19:32 |
| ffm | Voyage_: prepair to compile yerself | 19:32 |
| TitoN | i got the twinview to work today i just want to thank you guys for the help | 19:32 |
| Voyage_ | ffm how | 19:32 |
| luca | Jack_Sparrow: just the graphics effects | 19:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: yes | 19:32 |
| ffm | Voyage_: rtm i would assume. | 19:32 |
| fregger | how would i downgrade from a recent update? | 19:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | luca: and may I ask how you installed them? | 19:32 |
| ffm | Voyage_: download the sources, and read the "INSTALL" or "README" or "COMPILING" file... | 19:32 |
| Tiven | ere4si , i pressed buttons very fast on the keyboard.. and guess what. it got stuck as well .. it was pressing the ENTER button itself , like 100times per second - re-plugged it but nothing happened instead of it kept pressing ENTER | 19:32 |
| luca | apt get | 19:32 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, but how would i do sudo apt get stuff without internet in the first place? can i use wine to download it on this comp insted then use a memory stick to transfer and install over to laptop? | 19:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | wweasel im stumped. could be the ata1 line 210. but in my case, my IDE cdrom does not get listed on any ATAx line, it's listed as hda, on it's own line in the kernel messages. | 19:33 |
| pirx_danford | hi ubuntians, just installed xchat and it took me here directly, so goodbye again :-) | 19:33 |
| ffm | deniz_: you can use "apt-mirror" | 19:33 |
| Tiven | ere4si it was pressing enter even when it was unplugged so its operating system side | 19:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: That works just fine... | 19:33 |
| ffm | deniz_: when you have a fast internet connection, (library maybe?) | 19:33 |
| thechitowncubs | if I change my default user's user ID will that F up my computer? | 19:33 |
| nrss | qualcuno ha notizie sullo sviluppo di nubuntu_ | 19:33 |

| z-dog | guys how do i fix the 'nh' is not a component glitch in the ethernet driver compiler??? | 19:34 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, hmmm... I am thinking it might be an issue to do with my SATA/IDE PCI Controller Card. | 19:34 |
| ere4si | Tiven, are you playing a game through wine? | 19:34 |
| AstorZZZ | so i managed to run gparted on livecd using sudo, but all the menus and buttons are disabled, huh | 19:34 |
| thechitowncubs | if I change my default user's user ID will that F up my computer? | 19:34 |
| Tiven | ere4si no , i didnt even install wine yet :) | 19:34 |
| AstorZZZ | how can i resize ntfs partition from ubuntu live cd? | 19:34 |
| ere4si | Tiven, k | 19:34 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ yes | 19:34 |
| TitoN | i want to access a smb share and mount it in my sys which way is the best way? | 19:34 |
| L3ttuc3 | wweasel i think it might. is that cdrom connected onto it? | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | ffm : it didn't work :( | 19:35 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, which might be causing problems with the mobo's second IDE channel. And that perhaps by making the CD a slave to the first channel or putting it on the card everything might work. | 19:35 |
| AstorZZZ | mjw-, yes, how? | 19:35 |
| Voyage_ | ffm how to add repositories in package manager? | 19:35 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ I think gparted can be run from the terminal if you boot from the live cd. plus the installer can split ntfs partitions | 19:35 |
| L3ttuc3 | wweasel might be something to look into. | 19:35 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3: No. Right now I have my root on IDE1, cd on IDE2, home on SATA controller card. | 19:35 |
| ffm | Voyage_: uh, Sys>Admin>Soft. Sources | 19:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: I have had issues doing that when dependencies come up, I had better luck using a ubuntu machine for the apt-get and copying /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd or usb... | 19:35 |
| ffm | ubuntu: sorry, I can't help then | 19:35 |
| Voyage_ | k | 19:35 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, I'll try playing around with it. Be back soon. | 19:35 |
| AstorZZZ | mjw,i managed to run gparted using sudo gparted rootpwd | 19:36 |
| unicum | is the libflashplayer the only mozilla plugin that plays flash files or can i teach the mozillaplugin-mplayer to do so too, somehow? | 19:36 |
| L3ttuc3 | wweasel well, good luck. | 19:36 |
| AstorZZZ | but all menus and buttons are disabled | 19:36 |
| AstorZZZ | why? | 19:36 |
| wweasel | L3ttuc3, Thanks for your help! | 19:36 |
| ubuntu | ffm : thanks anyway :( | 19:36 |
| sier | hi | 19:36 |
| sier | Why is Ubuntu so easy? :( | 19:36 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ you can't modify partitions and drives that are mounted and being written too...things could get hairy | 19:36 |
| sier | I feel like I have no control at all | 19:36 |
| ffm | sier: no control? | 19:37 |
| deniz_ | ffm, it takes long to unrar in linux for some reason so ill be bak later bout that... | 19:37 |
| Voyage_ | icant find one. theres no repository that gives inspircd? | 19:37 |
| AstorZZZ | mjw-, So how can i resize ntfs partition from ubuntu live cd? | 19:37 |
| tentonsnowflake | would anyone know an app to change gtk2 iconthemes (for thunar, etc.) in fluxbox? | 19:37 |
| AstorZZZ | Or i cant? | 19:37 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, k, so ill download the things now | 19:37 |
| ffm | sier: explain. | 19:37 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ so you're saying you've used gparted on the live cd and everything is inaccessible? | 19:37 |
| amenado | sier try using broadcom bmc43xx wifi chips and lets see if you control | 19:37 |
| AstorZZZ | mjw-, yes | 19:37 |
| iqbala | how do I install times roman font ? | 19:37 |
| amenado | sier try using broadcom bmc43xx wifi chips and lets see if you have* control | 19:37 |
| AstorZZZ | except for refresh devices and show features :D | 19:38 |
| sier | I installed it, just chose the HD partitions, it loaded KDE already, dunno :P maybe im just used to have to compile and do everything | 19:38 |
| ffm | !times > iqbala | 19:38 |
| wallacew | iqbala: i believe the package is ms-ttffonts or something like. apt-cache search | 19:38 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ and you booted from the live CD too to start it? I'm not sure why it wouldn't work then | 19:38 |
| AstorZZZ | i booted ubunto from live cd | 19:38 |
| sier | I felt like.. "Did i get the windows CD " ? | 19:38 |
| AstorZZZ | i ran gparted in terminal | 19:38 |
| AstorZZZ | using sudo gparted rootpwd | 19:38 |
| andreus__ | ffm, it didn't help. still taskbar hasn't shown up | 19:38 |
| AstorZZZ | i coudnt run it otherwise because you cant run gparted without root privileges | 19:39 |
| Soludra | Is it possible to revert from Gutsy to Feisty, if you've only ever installed Gutsy? I've got an HP Pavilion dv9000, and apparently there's a lot that's unsupported on Ubuntu with it... | 19:39 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ true. I don't know why you wouldn't be able to modify things then, unless you had partitions from the drive mounted. | 19:39 |
| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, i have gutsy on this comp and feisty on laptop so will sudo apt-getting here and transfering still work? | 19:39 |

| tentonsnowflake | ballin: you mean cleaning apt-get cache? | 19:40 |
| BernardB | How can I convert avi to mp4 in Ubuntu Gutsy (Gnome)? | 19:40 |
| ballin | yes | 19:40 |
| ConstyXIV | ballin: sudo dpkg --reconfigure -a IIRC | 19:40 |
| tentonsnowflake | ballin: cause then its "sudo apt-get clear" | 19:40 |
| danand_ | ballin - sudo apt-get clean | 19:40 |
| AstorZZZ | mjw-, let's assume drive is mounted(i didnt do it on purpose though), how do i unmount it? | 19:40 |
| RainCT | Hi | 19:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: I would think so, but you could also change your sources to feisty sources if you want to be sure | 19:40 |
| tentonsnowflake | ballin: no, sorry | 19:40 |

| ballin | tenton: i just tried installing pidgin, goto through make and it ended because i have no more hard drive space. so now i was wondering how to get rid of the files it created | 19:41 |
| ballin | thank you all | 19:41 |
| mjw- | AstorZZZ in the file manager, rightclick the partitions and choose unmount | 19:41 |
| tentonsnowflake | ballin: apt-get clean only cleans apt-get caches | 19:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ballin: No need to make pidgin, would you like a deb of the latest? | 19:41 |
| ffm | andreus__: then its a compiz issue. | 19:41 |
| RainCT | I just created a new session but I have no sound here (the applet has an image with an X and clicking on it says that it didn't find any sound device). Any idea what the problem could be? (The user is in the admin group). | 19:41 |
| tentonsnowflake | ballin: to remove files you compiled, youll have to find them all, i guess... | 19:42 |
| ballin | jack sparrow: a deb? | 19:42 |
| Soludra | Is it possible to revert from Gutsy to Feisty, and how? I've got an HP Pavilion dv9000, and apparently there's a lot that's unsupported on Ubuntu with it... | 19:42 |

| ffm | andreus__: in a terminal: do the following: "mv .gnome2.old .gnome2; metacity --replace &" | 19:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ballin: Yes, a double click to install soultion for what you are trying to do | 19:42 |

| deniz_ | Jack_Sparrow, k, well ill try first the way it is...so the first thing is done | 19:42 |
| tentonsnowflake | ballin: :) | 19:42 |
| bazhang | Soludra: no | 19:42 |
| AstorZZZ | mjw-, done, harddrive unmounted, rerun gparted, still everything disabled | 19:42 |
| Soludra | =| | 19:43 |
| AstorZZZ | funny thing is - it wrote, it's safe to remove the harddrive | 19:43 |
| tentonsnowflake | danand_: would that also work with a partial compile? | 19:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | deniz_: Why are you running an iptable manager? need to open ports for something | 19:45 |

| hypa7ia | hey folks | 20:02 |
| WaiXan | jrib: There was none | 20:02 |
| hypa7ia | anyone know how i un-filter hidden files in brasero? | 20:02 |
| hypa7ia | my googling has been fruitless | 20:02 |
| nickrud | psycholvlan: what video card? | 20:02 |
| LordOfThePigs | Hello! For some reason, I can't type the ǎ character. However, xev does receive an even with the right character. Does anybody have an idea why? | 20:02 |
| psycholvlan | nvidia 8800gtx | 20:02 |
| fantum13 | archangelpetro: Ekiga, its installed by default, too | 20:02 |
| bazhang | nickrud: clearly but he wants it for a file server with x apparently | 20:02 |
| jrib | WaiXan: I made it copy, not move. So it should be there. Now make it executable with 'sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/shot' | 20:02 |
| DRebellion | hypa7ia, its ctrl+h in nautilus, perhaps the same for brasero? | 20:02 |
| nickrud | bazhang: he said command line only | 20:02 |
| jcg42 | bazhang, Well my question was: Do I need to install them if it's only a command line system? | 20:02 |
| psycholvlan | the nvidia-glx is the issue i think | 20:02 |
| LordOfThePigs | Is there some character filtering in ubuntu, based on the locale you are using? | 20:02 |
| bazhang | jcg42: haha no | 20:02 |
| hypa7ia | DRebellion: i can see the hidden files, it just filters them :( and i can't find the option to turn it off | 20:02 |
| psycholvlan | under nvidia settings/OpenGL/GX it said the GLX server failed to query | 20:03 |
| macogw | erhanr: it wants you to have the actual domain name of the server on the same line as localhost. if it's not really a webserver, just you messing around on the local box, it doesnt matter. that warning doesnt break anything | 20:03 |
| recon | ubuntu: alright, check the contents. | 20:03 |
| nickrud | psycholvlan: don't know about that card, except for the release notes for the latest nvidia release saying it now provides support for the 8800gt | 20:03 |
| psycholvlan | I had it working on my other monitor... but i'm at friends and a diff monitor | 20:03 |
| bazhang | nice catch nickrud | 20:03 |
| archangelpetro | fantum13, is ekiga as dodgy as skype? (i.e. does it allow traffic to be routed through your connection?) | 20:04 |
| psycholvlan | i had to reinstall the drivers when I got to my friends | 20:04 |
| nickrud | bazhang: just paying back for your catches | 20:04 |
| fantum13 | archangelpetro: I wouldn't be the one to ask, however, its FOSS, so you should be able to find out. | 20:04 |
| jrib | WaiXan: tell me the output of 'ls /usr/local/bin' | 20:04 |
| WaiXan | It won't find it :( zander@zander-desktop:~$ shoot test.jpg | 20:04 |
| WaiXan | bash: shoot: command not found | 20:04 |
| WaiXan | zander@zander-desktop:~$ | 20:04 |
| erhanr | macogw: must i write my domain name near 127.0.0.1 ? | 20:04 |
| Comrade-Sergei | i cannot get my ubuntu to find my wifi card, it sees it in lspci though | 20:04 |
| jrib | WaiXan: you said it was called "shot", not "shoot" | 20:04 |
| ubuntu | recon : already checked by me and a couple of other users and nuthin :) | 20:04 |
| bazhang | nickrud: haha not so--you get me everytime | 20:04 |
| archangelpetro | fantum13, i'm aware that FOSS means 'open source' but what exactly does it stand for? | 20:04 |
| === krang is now known as prolefeed | ||
| recon | ubuntu: and you _have_ tried "sudo grub-install /dev/partition", where partition is your root ubuntu partition, right? | 20:05 |
| nickrud | bazhang: you are too kind, you let them slip your mind ;) | 20:05 |
| WaiXan | jrib: I tried both | 20:05 |
| jrib | WaiXan: tell me the output of 'ls -l /usr/local/bin' | 20:05 |
| jrib | !paste | WaiXan | 20:05 |
| ubotu | WaiXan: 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) | 20:05 |
| recon | ubuntu: other than that, i'm out of advice. | 20:05 |
| fantum13 | archangelpetro: Free Open Source Software | 20:05 |
| archangelpetro | :D | 20:05 |
| archangelpetro | ty | 20:05 |
| bazhang | haha not really you are too humble | 20:06 |
| hacked_kernel | how to mount external usb hard drive? | 20:06 |
| macogw | erhanr: umm i think so...or at least the hostname, but it says "fully qualified domain name" | 20:06 |
| ffm | macogw: I knew the command, I just forgot the package name. | 20:06 |
| jrib | hacked_kernel: plug it in | 20:06 |
| macogw | erhanr: i dont have a webserver going so im not sure | 20:06 |
| macogw | ffm: ah ic | 20:06 |
| zelrikriando | which repos is it for emerald-themes again? | 20:06 |
| hacked_kernel | jrib: I did but it did mount it | 20:06 |
| zelrikriando | a friend of me cannot find it | 20:06 |
| cokencode | hey guys | 20:06 |
| jrib | hacked_kernel: is it formatted? | 20:06 |
| ffm | macogw: and I have learned to hate ATI drivers!!! | 20:06 |
| deniz_ | macogw, is that wat i need to share my internet connectioN!?! | 20:06 |
| WaiXan | jrib: 'ls -l /usr/local/bin' = total 0 | 20:06 |
| hacked_kernel | jrib: sure | 20:06 |
| ffm | macogw: whenever I use them, my X die. | 20:06 |
| ffm | s | 20:06 |
| cokencode | i just downloaded and am now using the live xubuntu cd | 20:06 |
| nickrud | erhanr: having the hostname will prevent that message, but it's not required. apache runs fine without | 20:06 |
| erhanr | i just wanted try wordprss | 20:06 |
| L3ttuc3 | that's not good, is it? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55411/ | 20:06 |
| cokencode | i thought xubuntu came with much more security stuff | 20:07 |
| Comrade-Sergei | i cannot get my ubuntu to find my wifi card, it sees it in lspci though | 20:07 |
| cokencode | hmmm | 20:07 |
| cokencode | or am i mixing it up with another flavour | 20:07 |
| jrib | hacked_kernel: check dmesg for anything interesting and see if it is listed when you do 'sudo fdisk -l' | 20:07 |
| hypa7ia | DRebellion: needed to add them back from the "filtered files" dialog :) | 20:07 |
| acee1234 | if you dont have any ideas then who might i ask. | 20:07 |
| jrib | WaiXan: join me in #ubuntu-classroom | 20:07 |
| macogw | deniz_: no. to share your internet connection, you need to bridge your connection | 20:07 |
| cokencode | also, another question, when i reload the live cd, will my settings be saved ? or will i have to install xchat again ? | 20:07 |
| macogw | deniz_: firestarter can let you configure iptables (the builtin firewall) to set up bridging | 20:07 |
| L3ttuc3 | and why am i getting those error messages? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55411/ i had to unplug the device finally (dead device) because it was taking forever to sync something terribly small. | 20:07 |
| deniz_ | so how can i make my wireless card in desktop comp act as a router? | 20:07 |
| macogw | cokencode: if you keep your home directory, your settings will be kept | 20:08 |
| macogw | cokencode: installed programs != settings though. | 20:08 |
| ubuntu | recon : thx anyway | 20:08 |
| macogw | deniz_: try firestarter | 20:08 |
| archangelpetro | is anyone aware of an alternative package to 'kile' that is intended for gnome? | 20:08 |
| recon | ubuntu: if you have it mounted, you could try to salvage your data and a list of installed packages. | 20:09 |
| deniz_ | macogw, i did but it says sumtin (i assume my wireless card) is "not ready" | 20:09 |
| Comrade-Sergei | how can i make my intel wireless card work? | 20:09 |
| cokencode | macogw: hmmm, this isn't quite the solution I was looking for at all | 20:09 |
| cokencode | better than nothing tho | 20:09 |
| cokencode | where does stuff get installed when i install it tho ? | 20:10 |
| deniz_ | macogw, "the device wmaster0 is not ready" it says | 20:10 |
| cokencode | temporarily to free space on my hard drive, and then it's deleted ? | 20:10 |
| nick_ | hey everyboddy | 20:10 |
| nick_ | hows it going? | 20:10 |
| ffm | macogw: oh, sorry, I didn't recongize your nick. | 20:10 |
| macogw | deniz_: dont know what that means | 20:10 |
| iKap | OKAY my ubuntu crashed 5 times yesterday and twice already today.. just crashed again 1minute ago. what logs can i check to see waht the problem is!??! | 20:10 |
| macogw | ffm: heh it's maco! | 20:10 |
| astro76 | cokencode: in memory (ramdisk) | 20:10 |
| ubuntu | recon : can u explain more ? | 20:10 |
| recon | ubuntu: for saving your list of packages, see http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=564 | 20:11 |
| ffm | macogw: yes, but I know some other people of that name. | 20:11 |
| deniz_ | macogw, o...thanks anyways | 20:11 |
| elementz | damn, anybody into festival tts? | 20:11 |
| deniz_ | macogw, o actually wats iptables? | 20:11 |
| macogw | ffm: i just got "its good to see women using linux. it means its not just for geeks anymore but for the masses" in #ubuntu-offtopic. you can testify that im a geek | 20:11 |
| Tiven | on what speed should i burn the iso of ubuntu i downloaded ? | 20:11 |
| Comrade-Sergei | How can i get my intel wireless card to work, as in drivers (preferably a gui install or a .deb installer) | 20:11 |
| cokencode | astro76: but I don't have enough ram to store all off this data, even if you include swap space | 20:11 |
| nickrud | Tiven: as slow as you can | 20:11 |
| ffm | macogw: yes, I can. | 20:11 |
| cokencode | i just install xchat AND nmap | 20:11 |
| iKap | what logs can i check to see why my ubuntu crashed?!? does anyone know.. this is second time its crashed today, im really thinking about switching back to ubuntu | 20:11 |
| Tiven | nickrud like... x4 ? | 20:11 |
| recon | ubuntu: and just back up your home folder (i assume you keep your data there) to another hard drive, a CD, the internet, etc. | 20:11 |
| nick_ | my belkin card didnt need to be installed | 20:11 |
| iKap | i mean WINDOWS | 20:11 |
| nick_ | it just worked | 20:11 |
| ffm | macogw: thats actualy amazingly sexist.... | 20:12 |
| nick_ | without the lights | 20:12 |
| Comrade-Sergei | iKap there are logs in /var... | 20:12 |
| nickrud | Tiven: that would probably do. check /msg ubotu md5 and /msg ubotu iso to test your burn | 20:12 |
| Itaku | did anyone here make geebox? | 20:12 |
| macogw | deniz_: the kernel-level firewall. it can be configured through the command line or with a gui (like firestarter or guarddog). when you hear "hardware firewall" it usually means a router running linux using iptables | 20:12 |
| ffm | macogw: of whoever said that. | 20:12 |
| Tiven | thank you nickrud :) | 20:12 |
| recon | ubuntu: before you save your list of packages, use "chroot [wherever the root folder of your disk is mounted" to access the right binaries. | 20:12 |
| iKap | what logs am i suppose to check to look for errors? | 20:12 |
| bert_ | hi, can someone tell me how to merge splitted rar archives on my linux system ? | 20:12 |
| deniz_ | macogw, would wikipedia have a detailed explanation? | 20:13 |
| bazhang | iKap: they have a channel ##windows ;] | 20:13 |
| Itaku | how can i broadcast over a shoutcast server on ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| macogw | deniz_: probably | 20:13 |
| Itaku | winamp doesnt work | 20:13 |
| nickrud | iKap: check /var/log/syslog | 20:13 |
| deniz_ | macogw, k, anyway i have to go so thx again | 20:13 |
| cokencode | hmmm, this is actually pretty cool, aside from hearing my cdrom drive spinning all the time | 20:13 |
| archangelpetro | i guess nobody here uses latex then | 20:13 |
| danand_ | bert_ - you should just be able to use the unrar command and it will join all the bits for you - just run unrar e file.rar and see if that works | 20:14 |
| Comrade-Sergei | hey nickrud werent you the person who helpd me with my wifi last time? | 20:14 |
| cokencode | how secure is this live cd ? | 20:14 |
| nickrud | Comrade-Sergei: almost certainly not ;) | 20:14 |

| cokencode | AHHHHHHHHHHHH, I was looking for NUBUNTU | 20:14 |

| cherva | can someone explain to me what should i do to a *.c file when i have this "patch" ( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55413/ ) should I remove the lines beginning with - and add the lines beginning with + ? | 20:14 |
| Comrade-Sergei | How do i get the drivers installed for my Intel wifi card, ndiswraper wont work | 20:15 |
| astro76 | cokencode: if you intend to use a livecd as more than just a demo, you might look into something else like knoppiz | 20:15 |
| iKap | can someone tell me what Feb 9 14:09:39 home-laptop gdm[5178]: WARNING: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 means.. im not tlakign to anyone in particular. | 20:15 |

| Itaku | how can i broadcast over a shoutcast server on ubuntu? winamp doesnt work | 20:15 |
| Comrade-Sergei | nickrud, i thought gutsy would have support for a intel agn wifi nic! | 20:15 |
| Starnestommy | cherva: use the "patch" program | 20:15 |
| archangelpetro | macogw, do you use an 'ide' type thing for it? like Kile? | 20:15 |
| macogw | archangelpetro: no. i use vim | 20:15 |
| ffm | macogw: vim ftw! | 20:15 |
| archangelpetro | shite | 20:15 |
| Starnestommy | iKap: It means the desktop display crashed for some reason | 20:15 |
| macogw | archangelpetro: and the vim plugin for latex so i have proper syntax highlighting and can collapse sections | 20:16 |
| timothy2 | i can't sync my sansa e250 mp3 player to add music to it, please help! | 20:16 |

| ffm | anyone have any idea why hardware manager crashes on load? | 20:16 |
| crdlb | archangelpetro: try winefish, iirc isn't not as poweful as kile, but it is gtk :) | 20:16 |
| cokencode | astro76: what does knoppix allow ? does it take a bit of the hard drive to store changes ? | 20:16 |
| cherva | Starnestommy: can u give me a tip how to do it i mean should i have this in a text file and then just start patch with this text file and the file that i want to patch ? | 20:16 |
| danand_ | bert_ - with rar files you should have a "master" type file ie file.rar is the main file then file.0.rar file.1.rar etc are all parts of that same file. Just point file roller at the main file or use the unrar command | 20:16 |
| cokencode | does it use the debian package manager as well ? | 20:16 |
| macogw | archangelpetro: Scribus is a semi-WYSIWYG LaTeX... | 20:16 |
| archangelpetro | ok macogw if i install 'texlive' packages will they be available by default if i install latex support for vim? | 20:16 |
| nickrud | Comrade-Sergei: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2514602&postcount=8 might help | 20:17 |

| Comrade-Sergei | How do i get the drivers installed for my Intel wifi card, ndiswraper wont work | 20:17 |
| Starnestommy | cherva: go to the directory where the 'dlls' directory is using cd | 20:17 |
| astro76 | cokencode: no but it comes with almost everything you'd need as is supposed to easily allow you to retain settings | 20:17 |

| Algyz | timothy2, lsusb tels anything? | 20:18 |
| macogw | Comrade-Sergei: that was "which one?" all squished up. and n is VERY new. it hasnt even finished being drafted! | 20:19 |
| Jowi | iKap, not even for your video card (if you have ati/nvidia)= | 20:19 |
| chazco | Are there any tools for Ubuntu which allow you to remove a certain instrument from an MP3? I've seen similar for Windows, but not sure how they work... | 20:19 |
| Jowi | ? | 20:19 |
| timothy2 | Algyz, how do I do that? | 20:19 |
| Algyz | timothy2, type it in terminal | 20:19 |
| Comrade-Sergei | macogw, ive had n since last year | 20:19 |
| macogw | Comrade-Sergei: ipw2200 should work with the linux drivers, though might be a little tricky. ipw3945 should work instantly, no work involved (maybe enable the firmware in system - | 20:19 |
| iKap | Jowi, i have intel itegerated, its a dell laptop. i dont recall installing any video drivers. | 20:19 |
| macogw | Comrade-Sergei: in system -> admin -> restricted driver manager | 20:19 |
| bert_ | chazco, I don't think such software can exist, you could delete a frequentie but that wouldn't be just one instrument | 20:19 |
| timothy2 | ALgyz, one moment, connecting it now | 20:20 |
| Itaku | how can i broadcast over a shoutcast server on ubuntu? winamp doesnt work | 20:20 |
| macogw | Comrade-Sergei: yes i saw those last summer too, and they are based on whatever the current draft of n was at that time. if it changed, the final n may be different. i havent heard of it being released any time in the last 6 months | 20:20 |
| Comrade-Sergei | macogw, its not in the restricted drivers, theres only the nvidia card in there | 20:20 |
| chazco | bert_ - I had one for Windows a while ago that could remove voices (had to be the right quality MP3), so im guessing its doable with an instrument | 20:20 |
| === uhb is now known as Uhblivius | ||
| danand_ | bert_ - your back! - try that unrar command on the 1st rar file ie file.001 | 20:21 |
| macogw | Comrade-Sergei: lspci | grep Intel | 20:21 |
| timothy2 | Algyz, it says it is connected "Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0781:7441 SanDisk Corp." | 20:21 |
| * ffm glares at the restricted drivers... ATI, I'm looking at you! | 20:21 | |
| macogw | Comrade-Sergei: what wireless card does it say? | 20:21 |
| iqbala | any openoffice friendly public dictionary available to download? | 20:21 |
| Algyz | timothy2, nice :) | 20:21 |
| iKap | Jowi, how can i change my resolution? and can that have to do anything with it? | 20:21 |
| Jowi | iKap, ok. did it start to happen all of a sudden, or after a program was installed, or plugin was added to the toolbar, or do you remember anything else that was modified when this started to happed? or has it always behaved like this? | 20:21 |
| bert_ | chazco, voices are easier to remove then music for as far as I know, but I'm not sure if this kind of software exists, look in the audio category of synaptic | 20:21 |
| timothy2 | Algyz, so now what? I can't put any music on it | 20:21 |
| macogw | iqbala: there should be a bunch for different languages on their website | 20:21 |

| ubotu | Wibble-: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 20:29 |

| Flare183 | chind: see the "ro" | 20:39 |
| Flare183 | willytell_: i don't know what else to tell you | 20:39 |
| willytell_ | Now I can view with a GUI running services | 20:39 |
| microphex | silent_, i guess ill try that | 20:39 |
| silent_ | microphex: also make sure to have "Front" enabled for volume control | 20:39 |
| chind | "mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/media/sda1=rw:/rofs=ro none /" would that fix it? /rofs is read-only | 20:39 |
| Jowi | iKap, maybe you should run a memtest | 20:39 |
| willytell_ | :D | 20:39 |
| chind | err Flare183 look above just posted | 20:39 |

| cherva | when I type make where shoud the executable files be ? In the same folder right ? | 20:40 |
| willytell_ | Flare183: could you tell me where the operating system see to start a service when it start up... if you know | 20:40 |
| microphex | !vmware | 20:41 |
| 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 | 20:41 |

| ubotu | Eminence: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 20:41 |

| Slart | Eminence: I think reinstalling is the better choice.. but depending on how much customization you've done to it it will take some time | 20:41 |
| chind | Flare183 should it be "mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/media/sda1=rw:/rofs=ro none /" or "mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/media/sda1:/rofs=rw none /" I don't think the second because rofs is a read-only medium and sda1 is the r/w medium. so unless i don't understand something... | 20:42 |
| microphex | !virtualizers | 20:42 |

| Scunizi | DRebellion, no. | 20:42 |
| Jowi | iKap, hard thing to troubleshoot. when you boot, you have the possibility to do a memtest. I think that is the first advice I can give. if the test come out ok, see if the crash only happen when flash is playing or nautilus is perfoming a specific action or something... | 20:42 |
| Eminence | Slart, ok, thanks. | 20:42 |
| DRebellion | Scunizi, open up a terminal and type, locate routeplanner | xargs file | grep -i exec | 20:43 |

| Scunizi | DRebellion, already did that.. your line shows 3 executibles. | 20:44 |
| DRebellion | nickrud, noted. | 20:44 |
| willytell_ | anyone know what file the operating system see to decide to start a service? | 20:44 |

| Flare183 | chind: not really we have been known to actually go to the person's home (if it was close by) to actually help/fix their computer so... You get the idea | 20:45 |
| Scunizi | DRebellion, all three mention routeplanner then .postinst and .prerm and .postrm as the suffix on routeplanner. | 20:45 |
| willytell_ | jrib, thank you ;) | 20:45 |
| Flare183 | !away | ffm (should have done this earlier) | 20:45 |
| ubotu | ffm (should have done this earlier): You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.

| s0u][ight | about shrinking c:\ i only can shrink 5 gigs while i got 40 gigs free space :| | 20:46 |

| chind | Flare183 :) didn't mean that to be an insult. i don't doubt your altruism (if i got the right word) | 20:46 |

| wpgeek | btw i need an explanation of the ubuntu runlevel's | 20:47 |
| ffm | !defrag s0u][ight | 20:47 |
| Flare183 | ok... then people....oh yeah gotcha (had to look it up) [wow] | 20:47 |
| Scunizi | DRebellion, nickrud's line shows different results.. rplan and rpcli. these are also located in /usr/bin instead of /var/lib/dpkg......etc. | 20:47 |
| chind | Flare183 more like #unionfs or another room would be a better place to ask the question | 20:47 |

| Flare183 | chind: perfect | 20:47 |
| ffm | !defrag | s0u][ight | 20:47 |
| ubotu | s0u][ight: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 20:47 |
| wpgeek | i still want the GUI but i want to change to a runlevel | 20:47 |
| wpgeek | and disable gdm | 20:47 |

| Pirate_Hunter | if i wanted to extract a .gz zip file what would be the command for it? | 20:49 |
| macogw | wpgeek: ubuntu uses debian runlevels. 0=halt, 6=reboot, 1=single user. 2-5=multiuser w/ X | 20:49 |
| ffm | Pirate_Hunter: tar -xzf | 20:49 |
| danand_ | Pirate_Hunter - gunzip | 20:49 |
| Slart | Pirate_Hunter: gunzip filename.gz | 20:49 |
| crusie | s0u][ight: run a chkdsk too :D might give you some more free space | 20:49 |
| ffm | dAndy: I think tar works too. | 20:49 |

| Lifeisfunny | s0u][ight, again, this is not a Microsoft product. Thank you for shopping with us. :) | 20:49 |
| Flare183 | yeah tar and gunzip will both do it | 20:49 |
| macogw | Pirate_Hunter: if its .tar.gz, tar -xf thing.tar.gz | 20:49 |
| bluefox83 | can anyone suggest a good site for buying a cheap motherboard that wont be a POS? | 20:49 |
| maximilion | You're staking all your data on the perfectness of the defrag program... TuneUp Utilities is one that I trust. | 20:49 |
| danand_ | Pirate_Hunter - tar -xzf if it is a file.tar.gz file :) | 20:49 |

| s0u][ight | i'm off cyaa | 21:11 |
| arnath | danand_: ok :) | 21:11 |
| Jowi | usr_rob, no, normally using xhost should not be necessary at all. | 21:11 |
| aarcane | Hi | 21:12 |
| Slart | nigel: DOSE?.. what is that? | 21:12 |
| aarcane | is it possible to make Ubuntu verify all the system files I've installed ? | 21:12 |
| quittt | ffm, which is the package that contains it? | 21:12 |
| ffm | quittt: networkmanger | 21:12 |
| nigel | oh sorry...my online web server host relieas on WINDose...sorry | 21:12 |
| arash` | are there any good .iso manipulation tools for ubuntu? | 21:12 |
| danand_ | arnath - you could try looking in old logs if your worried ie Xorg.0.log.old | 21:12 |
| q_a_z_steve | aarcane: define verify? | 21:12 |
| ffm | quittt: networkmanager | 21:12 |

| Beavi5 | is there anyway to install ubuntu on a laptop without a cd drive? ive installed all the files from the distro to a partition and have made it bootable with syslinux, it starts up fine but i dont know how to start the kernel to install without a cd | 21:12 |
| QMario | In OpenOffice Calc 2.3.0, how would I add a number to every value column A and store the result in column B? | 21:12 |
| q_a_z_steve | !iso | arash` | 21:13 |
| ubotu | arash`: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:13 |
| aarcane | q_a_z_steve, check the md5 checksum of every file installed using synaptic or apt-get and ensure that they're the same as when installed. | 21:13 |
| Itaku | can i make mp3's playable on internet dj? | 21:13 |
| cokencode | ah yes, nubuntu installed | 21:13 |
| Slart | Beavi5: you can.. but the easiest way is to get an external cd drive, imho | 21:13 |
| cokencode | does anyone have anything to say about this distro ? | 21:13 |
| cokencode | is it secure ? | 21:13 |
| cokencode | any problems reported with it | 21:13 |
| cokencode | ? | 21:13 |
| puff | Anybody installed the ATI drivers manually (e.g. not-from-apt)? | 21:13 |
| quittt | ffm, there is network-manager | 21:13 |

| hetauma | is there any terminal that can change it's titlebar to what I'm doing? i.e. if I run vi test.c title should be something similar? | 21:13 |
| Beavi5 | my laptop doesnt support booting from an external cd :( | 21:13 |
| BB-Corona | i installed ubuntu and when i restarted it showed the loading screen and would boot to a black screen, anyone know how to fix this? | 21:14 |
| Jowi | usr_rob, I use xhost to allow another account to launch firefox on my display from time to time. but I have no greate insight on how it works internally. | 21:14 |
| rinaldi_ | Beavi5: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 21:14 |
| Slart | nigel: you have a webpage that is windows only but still works in firefox??.. wow.. didn't think that existed.. | 21:14 |
| quittt | ffm, if I remove it, won't it affect anything? | 21:14 |
| aarcane | hetauma, you can write a launcher script to do that. but in general, it's up to an application to set the terminal title itsself. | 21:14 |
| ffm | quittt: it shouldnt. | 21:14 |
| Slart | nigel: well.. have you tried just running the firefox installer in wine? wine setup.exe or whatever the firefox installer is named | 21:14 |
| Beavi5 | thanks _rinaldi ill have a read :) | 21:14 |
| danand_ | brb | 21:15 |
| nigel | no not a webpage. Start ashamed to admit it but it is web page generating software and host (homestead.com) and there interface only accepts windose systems running either IE or Firefox but on a winDOSE platform. | 21:15 |
| Itaku | can i make mp3's playable/streamable on internet dj? | 21:15 |
| astro76 | hetauma: gnome-terminal does that by default | 21:16 |
| nigel | Anyway have wine installed, c drive generated and config pages come up but opening anything within wine does nada | 21:16 |
| aarcane | nigel, if you don't want to reboot into winnows, you can use qemu or vmware or other various software to run winnows in a virtual machine. | 21:16 |
| astro76 | hetauma: but yeah it's up to the application outside the shell | 21:16 |
| usr_rob | Jowi: Thank you :) , will reboot now see if it starts up right | 21:16 |
| plzkthx | While using Ubuntu, Gnome just suddenly restarted automatically, now I don't have sound. :( Any help? | 21:17 |
| hetauma | astro76, it only changes title to the current directory | 21:17 |
| Slart | nigel: hmm.. what have you tried so far? does wine notepad work? | 21:17 |
| aarcane | nigel, or you can use ies4linux to install internet exploder. | 21:17 |
| nigel | gemu and vm ware...I'll check em out thanks...never want to dual again running 6 pc's only one dual boots due to some software reliances but that'll change | 21:17 |

| plzkthx | Well, anyone? | 21:18 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: yes. | 21:18 |
| hdevalence | hey, if I have a C2D T5250 "Merom" cpu, what do I put on gcc -mtune=<arch> ? | 21:18 |

| ffm | Slart: no, it s somewhat easy... | 21:18 |
| astro76 | hetauma: vi should update the title, maybe you don't have vim-full installed | 21:18 |
| HorizonXP | lol, i can see it's not easy, cuz i've tried and it hasn't worked; i tried using prevu, but it errored out | 21:18 |
| zimon | hdevalence, nocona | 21:18 |
| aarcane | plzkthx, 1) get a real nick. 2) try rebooting. if that doesn't fix it, ask again. | 21:18 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: download the deb from the mirror. | 21:18 |
| Slart | HorizonXP: it is? force-architecture works ok? | 21:19 |
| nigel | aarcane yes I know but it is a really good and extremely efficient server also..I can edit 100 pages in an hour adjusting all meta's and keywords...it is a very quick solution for me and I am hooked at present | 21:19 |
| puff | plzkthx: Reboot. If it comes back after reboot, come back here and ask for advice about it. | 21:19 |
| plzkthx | Well, thats the whole point, I don't want to reboot, I'd like to keep a good uptime. | 21:19 |
| hdevalence | zimon: thanks! | 21:19 |
| astro76 | hetauma: ubuntu has only vim-tiny by default | 21:19 |
| hetauma | astro76, correct I only had vim | 21:19 |
| Slart | ffm: bah, sorry about thtat.. it is? force-architecture works ok? | 21:19 |
| puff | plzkthx: It's most likely you're going to have to reboot to get sound back. | 21:19 |
| HorizonXP | Slart, ffm: but the deb has a TON of dependencies | 21:19 |
| ffm | Slart: yes, you just download and install the deb. | 21:19 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: then get them. | 21:19 |
| puff | plzkthx: I had problems with that before, related to having both esd and alsa installed. In essence, there is a resource contention problem, sort of like a file lock. | 21:19 |
| plzkthx | puff, I never faced this problem before, any way to see if any process is using my driver? | 21:19 |
| nickrud | Slart: you wouldn't need force-architecture, get the right architecture for your machine (32vs64) | 21:19 |
| HorizonXP | ffm: here's hoping I don't break it :P | 21:20 |
| Slart | HorizonXP: check the force-options.. | 21:20 |
| aarcane | nigel, if you need to adjust metas and keywords, you could code a header in php, which queries your meta and keywords from a database and changes them *snaps fingers* that fast. | 21:20 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: enable the newer hardy repo, apt-get it, unenable. | 21:20 |
| Slart | nickrud: yes.. I know.. old wine-habit =) | 21:20 |
| puff | plzkthx: No, not really. I mean, "ps -ef | fgrep -i esd" will tell you if esd is running. | 21:20 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: and now you have a half-hardy system. | 21:20 |
| astro76 | hetauma: install it, then sudo update-alternatives --config editor | 21:20 |
| emory | I'm trying to run update on a fresh mythbuntu install and it keep locking up after it fails to start mysql... | 21:20 |
| ffm | plzkthx: reboot. | 21:20 |
| emory | any ideas? | 21:20 |
| puff | plzkthx: Actually, if gnome crashed, and then you restarted gnome without rebooting, then probably you're stuck. | 21:20 |

| nickrud | HorizonXP: don't listen to ffm he's recommending crack(ing your system :) | 21:20 |
| puff | plzkthx: The old gnome process had the lock, the new process cant' get it, you have to reboot. | 21:20 |
| ffm | nickrud: how so? | 21:21 |
| plzkthx | puff, I din't start it manually,. it started automatically. | 21:21 |
| astro76 | hetauma: in order to make it used for visudo and sudoedit | 21:21 |
| puff | plzkthx: That's just a guess, though. | 21:21 |
| ffm | nickrud: I'd do it... | 21:21 |
| HorizonXP | nickrud: ? | 21:21 |
| nigel | aarcane...sounds wonderful and simple but as a fine art/ graphic designer nurse and baby shop owner I am stuck with this for now..and yes I know that'll put me in the realm of a tewchno slug right now. | 21:21 |
| puff | plzkthx: Either way, you have to reboot. Bite the bullet and get it over with. I know it sucks. | 21:21 |
| rinaldi_ | emory: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-mythtv ? | 21:21 |
| puff | plzkthx: And come back with a better nic :-) | 21:21 |
| plzkthx | Heh, its sure sux. :< | 21:21 |
| hetauma | astro76, ok thanx alot | 21:21 |
| emory | I could these seems more like a synaptic/mysql issue though | 21:21 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: listen to nickrud, he most likely knows more than me. | 21:21 |
| nickrud | ffm: you'd need more than just the evolution deb, there's evolution-data-server , and more HorizonXP | 21:21 |
| plzkthx | Well, thanx anyway. | 21:21 |
| puff | plzkthx: It's a limitation of the architecture, not ubuntu's fault. | 21:21 |
| HorizonXP | ffm, nickrud: yeah, you're right, there's a ton | 21:21 |
| Slart | plzkthx: you can probably find a way to edit your uptime to keep your e-peni... sorry.. uptime up ;) | 21:22 |
| ffm | nickrud: he _could_ use hardy... | 21:22 |
| aarcane | nigel, if you'd like to at some point get a host that supports PHP, you can send me a whisper on this network at this nick, and I can possibly help you out with a script. | 21:22 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: why do you need the new version anyway/ | 21:22 |
| cokencode | why does nubuntu leave port 22 (ssh) open by default ? | 21:22 |
| HorizonXP | ffm, nickrud: i was hoping to just compile from source | 21:22 |
| aarcane | nigel, I've seldom got much better to do. | 21:22 |
| cokencode | this looks very suspicious | 21:22 |
| FranzJesus | nigel: Have you tried the firefox extension User Agent Switcher | 21:22 |
| HorizonXP | ffm, nickrud: Google Calendar support | 21:22 |
| astro76 | cokencode: it's only open if you install the ssh server | 21:22 |
| nigel | thanks aarcane..will do. | 21:22 |
| plzkthx | Slart, was that supposed to be funny? | 21:22 |
| Slart | cokencode: the firewall isn't enabled by default.. but I doubt ssh is up and running on a new install | 21:22 |
| nigel | franzJesus...tell me more will look it up now | 21:22 |
| ffm | plzkthx: yes, and it was. | 21:23 |
| Slart | plzkthx: you're the one worrying about your uptime.. | 21:23 |
| cokencode | Slart, I'm using a live cd ... nubuntu | 21:23 |
| Slart | cokencode: nubuntu? | 21:23 |
| Jowi | plzkthx, ctrl-alt-backspace will kill X and all child processes (like the sound server most of the time). you can try that. | 21:23 |
| plzkthx | Slart, orly? | 21:23 |
| FranzJesus | try downloading the extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 | 21:23 |
| astro76 | cokencode: then they've installed and enabled the ssh server, in order to enable ssh, note this is not an official project | 21:23 |

| HorizonXP | nickrud: any way i do this? | 21:24 |
| plzkthx | Jowi, thax m8. :) | 21:24 |
| cokencode | astro76, I know I know, but my question is ... why ? | 21:24 |
| astro76 | cokencode: ask them | 21:24 |
| secleinteer | hi, i'm trying to fill out a pdf form in acrobat, but i'm getting "plug-in required by this 'javascript' action is not available", and when i try to print anything, the text input fields' contents are mangled | 21:24 |
| secleinteer | any ideas? | 21:24 |
| astro76 | cokencode: being able to ssh to a machine is very useful | 21:24 |
| crusie | hey - got a creative xfi card - where do I get the drivers for ubuntu for it ? | 21:24 |
| cokencode | cokencode, you hardly go to the source when you suspect someone of being up to something fishy | 21:24 |
| cokencode | do you ? | 21:24 |
| HorizonXP | nickrud:, ffm, Slart: ok, here's a question: how unstable is Hardy Heron? | 21:24 |
| cokencode | astro76, oh, i'm well aware of this | 21:25 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: very | 21:25 |
| astro76 | cokencode: note also that this doesn't appear to be a normal use desktop livecd, but a security testing system | 21:25 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: I'd wait for the beta. | 21:25 |
| Slart | cokencode: I usually install ssh myself on my machines.. but having it on by default seems.. a bit dangerous.. | 21:25 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: but getting more all the time. | 21:25 |
| cokencode | astro76, precisely, why would you need to ssh into a security testing system | 21:25 |
| kestir | Hi, when I use aplay to play mp3s all I hear is a bunch of loud static, am I missing something? | 21:25 |
| Slart | HorizonXP: I think they say it's alpha quality atm.. so not for production machines | 21:25 |
| cokencode | Slart, my point exactly! | 21:25 |
| Slart | !hardy | 21:25 |
| astro76 | cokencode: you might not even have a monitor | 21:25 |
| ubotu | 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 | 21:25 |
| astro76 | cokencode: or a keyboard | 21:25 |
| HorizonXP | nickrud:, ffm, Slart: aiight, so am I SOL for getting the new Evolution on my machine? | 21:25 |
| nickrud | HorizonXP: you could do apt-get source evolution , apt-get build-dep evolution , and dpkg-buildpackage | 21:26 |
| Slart | cokencode: but I think this is something you should ask on their forums.. it's not installed on ubuntu | 21:26 |
| cokencode | astro76, i dunno, it still doesn't sit well with me | 21:26 |
| Zombino | Printer issue: Trying to use foomatic-ppdfile to generate a PPD file for my label printer, but it's giving me an error saying that the printer file isn't in the database. I've read a lot of threads on installing this printer and nobody seems to be having this issue. Just reinstalled the foomatic database and it didn't fix anything :( | 21:26 |
| Slart | HorizonXP: what's so great about the new evolution? | 21:26 |
| FranzJesus | nigel: then change agent under Tools->User Agent Switcher->whatever you want | 21:26 |
| astro76 | cokencode: don't use it then | 21:26 |
| Slart | HorizonXP: hardy is due in what.. april? 2 months or so? | 21:26 |
| HorizonXP | Slart: native Google Calendar support | 21:26 |
| nickrud | HorizonXP: forget dpkg-buildpackage, brain fart. a sec | 21:26 |
| Slart | HorizonXP: ah.. that does sound nice | 21:26 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone help me with tor & privoxy on a separate window? | 21:26 |
| cokencode | Slart, well, I expect to get a more straightforward and honest answer in here. Just like everyone was here bashing the easyubuntu alternative because how often it breaks systems | 21:26 |
| ffm | HorizonXP: or just "sudo apt-get source evolution; sudo apt-get build-dep evolution; sudo dpkg-buildpackage" | 21:26 |
| Itaku | ffm: how do i get the scripts button in | 21:27 |
| ffm | Itaku: can you look it up? | 21:27 |
| astro76 | cokencode: like I said it has nothing to do with ubuntu, also you're not understanding what it's intended for | 21:27 |
| ffm | Itaku: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=681762 | 21:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cokencode: Actually easybuntu isnt as bad as it used to be.. unlike envy or automatix | 21:27 |
| cokencode | astro76, that's not the way to learn about security now is it? Avoid everything you're afraid of? I prefer to turn this into a learning experience. Rather than just go "oh, it's insecure I won't use it". That doesn't benefit me at all. | 21:27 |
| ffm | Jack_Sparrow: ack! | 21:27 |
| HorizonXP | nickrud:, ffm, Slart, this is the error I get when i do apt-get build-dep evolution: Build-Depends dependency for evolution cannot be satisfied because no available versions of package evolution-data-server-dev can satisfy the version requirements | 21:27 |
| ffm | Jack_Sparrow: nooo! | 21:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !easybuntu | 21:28 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about easybuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:28 |
| cokencode | Jack_Sparrow, read what I said again. I said everyone bashed the ALTERNATIVE to easyubuntu, i.e. automatix | 21:28 |

| astro76 | cokencode: you are not making any sense, if you want to security test a server with no display using this cd, you need to ssh into it | 21:28 |
| maximilion | But as soon as the map starts, it freezes. Any thoughts? | 21:28 |
| nickrud | HorizonXP: one of the reasons you might just want to wait. I'm waiting for it since I hate the popup imap error messages. They'll be in the task bar :) | 21:28 |
| Pirate_Hunter | can someone help me with tor & privoxy on a separate channel? | 21:28 |
| ffm | Jack_Sparrow: on second thought, it looks kk. | 21:29 |
| ffm | Pirate_Hunter: why not here? | 21:29 |
| maximilion | Also, how do I add terminal commands to be executed at startup of x? | 21:29 |
| ffm | maximilion: add them to .xsession | 21:29 |
| Pirate_Hunter | ffm: its not ubuntu related but someothign weird going on with tor and privoxy | 21:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Most of irc blocks tor severs... | 21:29 |
| Slart | cokencode: well.. having it installed and enabled by default is bad, if you ask me. I don't know if nubuntu claims to be a good desktop install, it might be a special distro used only in special cases where an open ssh server isn't a bad thing | 21:29 |
| HorizonXP | nickrud: i'm gonna try to do this, because in April i'm done school, so kinda useless to me then | 21:29 |
| maximilion | ffm: in my user home directory? | 21:29 |
| cokencode | astro76, wait, what? you're penetration testing a server, using a live cd installed on the computer used for testing. Why does the computer used for testing need to have port 22 open? YOU'RE not making sense | 21:29 |
| HorizonXP | nickrud: here's hoping i don't break my system | 21:30 |
| crusie | hmm no ideas on how to get sound on here? seems like my card isn't even detected by ubuntu - it's a creativ xfi | 21:30 |

| ffm | maximilion: yes | 21:30 |

| kestir | Hi, when I use aplay to play mp3s all I hear is a bunch of loud static, am I missing something? | 21:31 |
| nigel | franzjesus-at risk of being greedy (but let me tell you what is at stake) I will be able to exclusively use Ubuntu on all pc's and any dual booting if i was to want to run the editing software in wine how do I. | 21:31 |
| cokencode | ffm, explain to me then. Why does a box that is sshing into a server, need to have sshd running ? | 21:31 |
| ffm | cokencode: because the box you are running on may be headless. | 21:31 |
| Slart | kestir: have you looked at the links ubotu gives you when you type !mp3 ? | 21:31 |
| crusie | !mp3 | 21:31 |
| ubotu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 21:31 |
| cokencode | you're doing penetration testing with a headless box? | 21:31 |
| ffm | cokencode: maybe. | 21:32 |
| nickrud | HorizonXP: luck to you | 21:32 |
| cokencode | why? doesn't make sense | 21:32 |

| ffm | cokencode: in any case, this is off topic. lets move this to #ubuntu-offtopci | 21:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Please keep to the topic.. (for those wandering a bit offtopic) | 21:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Thanks | 21:32 |
| puff | So, the ATI installation page here ( http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide ) doesn't say it, but from the error message and the release notes, I think I need to have the kernel sources, or kernel headers at least. | 21:32 |
| cokencode | and at any rate , he made mention of the SERVER being headless, NOT the box doing the penetration testing | 21:32 |
| puff | Does this make sense? | 21:32 |
| Slart | uman: are you sure there are buttons up there? they might be missing? | 21:33 |

| Jowi | kestir, that gives you a full text mode "gui" though. with abilities for playlists. may be overkill for what you want. :) | 21:34 |

| ubuntu-mateusz | I did apt-get install lvm2 created volumes, did mkfs and installed via installer but Ubuntu doesnt boot | 21:58 |
| ubuntu-mateusz | any help? | 21:58 |
| MrPiracy | Jowi: lol, ok, no problem, i'll try to figure out myself and come back if i cant fix it | 21:59 |
| levander | Anyone's seen a good doc on setting up a samba share in Gutsy? | 21:59 |
| DayZiro | I have somewhat of a weird problem. When viewing videos (or other high system requirement tasks) the screen freezes and unfreezes about every other second. Freezes as in, mouse freezes, audio freezes, video freezes, even progress bars freeze. Any suggestions ? | 21:59 |
| qwaz | MrPiracy: go back to your pirated windows install and bugger off | 21:59 |

| NForc3r | hey guys can i enable physics in avant window manager | 22:00 |
| DayZiro | it's an hp pavillion dv4000 | 22:00 |
| NForc3r | like you can do in kiba-dock | 22:01 |
| Nutubuntu | Okay, no takers on that one ... I've finally got time to re-install Gutsy (my upgrade from Feisty was not an entire success). What are the gotcha's of a reinstall? Should I delete my ~/.g* stuff and let gnome start new? Is there anything to watch out for if I do that? | 22:01 |
| DayZiro | laptop | 22:01 |
| crusie | hey - how do I mnt my ntfs harddrive ? | 22:01 |
| PriceChild | NForc3r, I don't think awm has a physics engine | 22:01 |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| NForc3r | ok | 22:01 |
| Uninitiated | Having a heck of a time setting up which app is used for a particular mime type when opened in epiphany. I've tried using gconf-editor and have removed all media players except the one I want to use to open .pls files. Would anyone have a suggestion where to look next? | 22:01 |
| ubuntu-mateusz | How to install ubuntu on lvm2 ? | 22:01 |
| NForc3r | wait akamaru is the physics engine | 22:01 |
| DayZiro | doesn't happen in windows xp, but I believe it happened in debian | 22:01 |
| NForc3r | kiba-dock doesnt have a physics engine but uses kalamaru to do all that | 22:01 |
| crusie | how do I find my ntfs partition ? | 22:02 |
| DayZiro | ubuntu-mateusz, Distributions like Fedora, Suse and Debian have a LVM aware installer. Unfortunately, at the time this article was written, Ubuntu does not offer such settings with the Desktop Install CD. | 22:03 |
| DayZiro | http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem | 22:03 |
| ubuntu-mateusz | DayZiro: Well I did it manualy however it doesnt boot | 22:03 |
| DayZiro | ubuntu-mateusz, that link explains how they got it to work | 22:04 |
| ubuntu-mateusz | DayZiro: hmm I didnt install lvm2 to my new system :D | 22:04 |
| ubuntu-mateusz | DayZiro: Thanks | 22:04 |
| Uninitiated | If no one is sure how to set up the mime types, would it be safe to remove ubuntu-desktop to get rid of gedit (which is now what .pls files are opening in)? would that have a chance of forcing epiphany to use audacious? | 22:05 |
| ffm | Uninitiated: Sys>Pref>Preffered apps | 22:05 |
| Uninitiated | ffm: Indeed, that is set to Custom, command is audacious. | 22:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | andrisp: Reduce the size of the panel or remove enough icons so you can grab it and move it back | 22:08 |
| zaivaldi | andrisp, right click, properities | 22:08 |
| razordead | kdallas: in Ubuntu you don't need that junk, just install the Apache, PHP, & MySQL packages | 22:08 |
| razordead | kdallas: in theory, as soon as you install those packages, you have a working setup | 22:09 |
| kdallas | razordead, ok, any guide which i could read to set them up | 22:09 |
| andrisp | Jack_Sparrow, thanks, it helped :) | 22:09 |

| mhrnjad | Hello there :-) I am thinking of buying a Dell Latitude D630 and run 7.10 on it.. any comments/advice on that model? | 22:09 |
| Uninitiated | andrisp: make sure you're clicking on the panel itself and not any applets or launchers | 22:09 |
| andrisp | Uninitiated: i got it back, thanks | 22:09 |
| razordead | kdallas: just use Synaptic to install the packages | 22:09 |

| Spop | mhrnjad, I bought an acer and converted from Vista. Wow, lots of work. Is the Dell you are looking at come with ubuntu preinstalled | 22:10 |
| mkbernard | is php5 supported by gutsy gibbon? | 22:10 |
| kdallas | razordead, thanks will do so | 22:10 |
| mhrnjad | Spop: no, it comes with XP | 22:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Uninitiated: The problem I have had is that the sides are shorter than the top.. and there is no place where you can grab the panel to move it | 22:10 |
| Spop | Well, at least it is not vista. | 22:11 |
| ffm | mkbernard: yes.... | 22:11 |
| DayZiro | I was thinking it was a problem with resources...like the system has a memory leak and chops when the memory is gone while it frees some up. although a 'top' doesn't show a lot of memory or cpu usage when it's freezing | 22:11 |
| ffm | mkbernard: apt-get into it. | 22:11 |
| Spop | I would search the Ubuntu forums on your specific Dell model. I found lots of help by doing that. | 22:11 |
| kdallas | razordead, it is mysql server and not the client, right? | 22:11 |
| razordead | kdallas: yes | 22:11 |
| kdallas | thank you | 22:12 |
| mhrnjad | Spop: thanks, will try that .. | 22:12 |
| Spop | Good luck and don't give up! | 22:12 |
| mkbernard | ffm alright thanks, i just noticed that php4 is expressly not supported | 22:12 |
| razordead | mkbernard: I see a php5 package | 22:12 |
| mhrnjad | Spop: now way :-) | 22:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mhrnjad: I have a C640 with it which is quite nice... Unless you are running off dialup :) | 22:12 |

| Uninitiated | phaidros: So I should be good. Cool, thank you! | 22:17 |
| quaal | anyone familiar with umask? i ran 'umask 002' (it was originally set to 022), so that means it should make all new files/folders created have a permission of 775. The group is still not able to edit newly created files, after setting it to 002. why? | 22:17 |
| phaidros | MrPiracy: in user settings, or on cammand line in /etc/passwd (as sudo!) | 22:17 |
| mkbernard | razordead do you know if it requires any further initialization in apache? | 22:17 |
| phaidros | any chance to cchange the size of toolbar icons in general? | 22:17 |

| razordead | mkbernard: I haven't done it in Ubuntu yet, but I have in Debian (what Ubuntu is based on) & it never required any additional setup | 22:18 |
| mynyml | phaidros: how? | 22:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | quaal: Not sure if this will help but.. http://www.elated.com/articles/understanding-permissions/ | 22:18 |
| phaidros | mynyml: by default. what you wanna do? | 22:18 |
| mynyml | i just tried xterm and it recognizes it fine | 22:18 |

| Jack_Sparrow | quaal: 002 is write only | 22:19 |
| mkbernard | rzaordead you familiar with aspdotnet package? | 22:19 |
| phaidros | mynyml: go to gnome-term, type something, try <alt>-<backspace> .. should delete the last word | 22:19 |
| phaidros | mynyml: I use emacs in gnome-terminal .. therefore alt *must* work .. maybe you need to change editors ;) | 22:20 |

| quaal | Jack_Sparrow, yea. its the opposite of regular chmod | 22:21 |

| MrPiracy | phaidros: what should I put in "Home Dir" .... now it says /home/tma but this is acctually where the files are located, so why i do "cd ~/home" it takes me to /home/tma/home which doesn't even exist | 22:21 |

| Nutubuntu | I'll be reinstalling Gutsy (my upgrade from Feisty was messed up). Are there gotcha's in reinstalling? Should I delete my ~/.g* stuff and let gnome start new? Is there anything to watch out for if I do that? | 22:34 |
| phaidros | I'd need smaller buttons on my little screen :/ | 22:34 |
| Yahooadam | yeah, its up and running, i think i used an instruction for virtualbox and it messed my groups | 22:35 |
| tygunner | Can some one give me step by step how to burn V7.10 onto a cd so i can instal it doul boot with windows XP? | 22:35 |
| danand_ | DayZiro - try lspci | 22:35 |
| arnducky | Yahooadam, if you use visudo exclusively, it will protect you from making really silly changes -- checks syntax when you save | 22:35 |
| xSnOoPyx | Hey, can someone help me out on network booting ubuntu linux to an x40 ibm. i need to install it on there, and there are also some files i need to transfer off before i actually install. | 22:35 |

| Yahooadam | thanks arnducky | 22:35 |
| drpcken | lz7, you'll put two lines in the .dvd file you make. on the first line put LayerBreak=1913760 on the second line put the name of the iso | 22:36 |
| DayZiro | phaidros, In order to resize the icons on your Gnome Desktop you can go to the Desktop - Preferences - File Management and zoom out a little. | 22:36 |
| DayZiro | If you also want to use smaller fonts, just go to Desktop - Preferences - Font and on the Desktop font type and size adjust to the desired size. | 22:36 |
| arnducky | tygunner, just DL the image and then use the 'burn image' feature in your burner's software | 22:36 |
| drpcken | lz7, then save the .dvd in the same folder as the iso of the dvd | 22:36 |
| keram` | any ideas? | 22:36 |

| tygunner | i just need step by step how to instal ubuntu 7.10 on my comp | 22:37 |
| xSnOoPyx | was it by network though? | 22:37 |
| arnducky | tygunner follow the instructions on http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu | 22:37 |
| nickrud | tygunner: I'm not running xp so I can't walk you through, but there will be a menu command, burn image . Find that. | 22:37 |
| Eimhin | or is there a dedicated channel | 22:38 |
| Eimhin | ? | 22:38 |
| phaidros | DayZiro: thanks, but I don't mean the icons on the desktop, but the toolbat icons, e.g. for galeon .. with small fonts thos buttons are huge :) | 22:38 |
| tygunner | right know im using the ubuntu live disk for v5.10 | 22:38 |
| xSnOoPyx | wyclif: was it by network? | 22:38 |
| gravemind | Eimhin: madwifi should automatically work | 22:38 |
| Eimhin | nope | 22:38 |
| drpcken | i'm having SOOO much trouble accessing a shared folder on my XP box, i can see the machine from ubuntu, but when i click it it tells me the folder contents cannot be displayed | 22:38 |
| phaidros | DayZiro: any chance to adjust size of them? | 22:38 |
| Eimhin | i had it working once, then had to reinstal | 22:38 |
| nickrud | tygunner: ah, right click the iso in the file manager, and select burn :) | 22:38 |
| wyclif | what files? | 22:38 |
| Eimhin | and i cant remember how i got it working the first time | 22:38 |

| tygunner | im really new to ubuntu so tell me how to get there sorry ^_^ | 22:39 |
| Eimhin | must be something to do with my hardware | 22:39 |
| arnducky | tygunner, if you don't have DVD burning software (like Cyberlink or WinDVD or Realplayer pro) then just DL the free DivX client or search sourceforge.net for "DVD | 22:39 |
| nickrud | tygunner: applications->accessories->file manager , iirc | 22:40 |
| phaidros | thanks DayZiro, my google searches werren't that responsive, maybe I messied with the 'icons' term .. | 22:40 |
| tygunner | i have a compact disk REwritable for not DVD RW | 22:40 |

| erUSUL | Tonren: you have to create folders on the drive as root and then make those folders accesible by normal users | 22:49 |
| Tonren | erUSUL: OK; that still doesn't explain why it's not mounting as user properly. | 22:49 |

| ndo | guys, ive got a question. ive got this situation. im installing ubuntu form liveCD. and i want to put grub not on the mbr. this is how it looks like. The partition tables of the following devices are changed: SCSI3 (0,1,0) (sda). The following partitions are going to be formatted: partition #4 of SCSI3 (0,1,0) (sda) as ext3, partition #5 of SCSI3 (0,1,0) (sda) as swap. When i click "Advanced". Ive got to write a partition name where i want the grub to be pu | 22:51 |
| ndo | t. what do i write there? now there is (hd0). anyone? | 22:51 |
| phaidros | Eimhin: btw, which version of ubuntu do you use? | 22:52 |
| noneo | MrPiracy: file name with minus at the end? I don't know this distribution! :D | 22:52 |
| Eimhin | phaidros: 7.10 | 22:52 |
| tigran | DRebellion: If I open it in firefox, instead of displaying it, it brings up the download form. How can I get it to display in firefox? | 22:52 |
| phaidros | Eimhin: what does ifconfig -a say? more than lo and eth0 ? | 22:52 |
| DRebellion | tigran, what's the link? | 22:52 |
| tigran | DRebellion: They're local files. | 22:53 |
| razordead | tigran: that's a problem with the web server you're connecting to, not a firefox problem | 22:53 |
| Eimhin | phaidros: no, but theres more info beside them then just "no wireless extensions" or whatever it said before | 22:53 |
| DRebellion | tigran, yar, set up a http server and connect to it. | 22:53 |
| Goliath23 | ndo where do you want to put grub? | 22:53 |

| phaidros | Eimhin: no if you see things like 'wireless extension' you tried iwconfig, but I meant ifconfig -a ;) | 22:54 |

| DRebellion | Siph0n, boot off the livecd and take a look at /etc/passwd for the username | 22:55 |
| tigran | razordead: Ok. So if I open a php file now with ff it should display it? | 22:55 |
| Eimhin | phaidros: as opposed to just "wireless extension" by itself | 22:55 |

| HorizonXP | Slart, nickrud, ffm: I'm back! So at least Gnome isn't broken. yay! | 23:01 |

| Slart | HorizonXP: always a good thing =) | 23:01 |
| razordead | tigran: the Ubuntu wiki tells you how to set up home directory access https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 23:02 |

| Nutubuntu | I'll be reinstalling Gutsy (my upgrade from Feisty was messed up). Are there gotcha's in reinstalling? Should I delete my ~/.g* stuff and let gnome start new? Is there anything to watch out for if I do that? | 23:04 |
| phaidros | Eimhin: rmmod complained (modules was not loaded), modprobe did not complain (module got loaded), and dmesg only says unload? thats unlogical .. | 23:04 |
| emory | Before I do this is it safe to remove the Package entry for a broken package in /var/dpkg/available ? then run dpkg --configure -a ? is this going to stop my bad package from installing? | 23:04 |
| phaidros | Nutubuntu: well, depends, wouldn't hurt if you want to keep your settings, but for details I'd better ask in #gnome, they might know better | 23:05 |

| phaidros | Eimhin: if it says nothing try to load the module with "modprobe ath_pci" | 23:06 |
| phaidros | Eimhin: then there *should* be a device called ath0 (see with iwconfig) | 23:06 |
| phaidros | Itaku: wireshark is great | 23:07 |
| phaidros | suncydu: there must be a log for dpkg somewhere | 23:07 |

| SmileyChris | (i.e. is there a utility or do I just hack the file?) | 23:34 |
| jrib | con-man: what are you trying to install? | 23:35 |
| razordead | tigran: ok, that's a start | 23:35 |
| con-man | googleearth.bin | 23:35 |
| danand_ | NCommander - use the command sudo adduser .... to add a user to the system - see man adduser for info | 23:35 |
| con-man | jrib: GoogleEarthLinux.bin | 23:35 |
| nitin | I have a question about ubuntu server | 23:35 |
| jrib | con-man: it is available from the medibuntu repos as a package | 23:35 |
| jrib | !medibuntu > con-man (read the private message from ubotu) | 23:35 |
| con-man | o | 23:35 |
| NCommander | danand_: I would have loved to, but I had to change the UID numbers of two accounts so they'd match up with my laptop for NFS | 23:35 |
| NCommander | danand_: I've done this before on other Linux's and never had this problem | 23:35 |
| tigran | razordead: I guess :P | 23:35 |
| con-man | jrib if its illegal then I shouldnt use that repository | 23:36 |
| hend | smileyChris: you can use "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or manually add the resolutions with a editor | 23:36 |
| SmileyChris | thx hend | 23:36 |

| razordead | tigran: if you look at the contents of /etc/apache2/mods-available do you see a php5.load file? | 23:37 |
| magick | I've made a successful transfer from windows to ubuntu and i'm loving it so far (2 weeks or so) but I do have a slight problem.. my sound has been great for the most part but sometimes it skips and pops. It's an ALC883 chip using ALSA on the IP35Pro motherboard. Is there anything I can do to remedy this quirk? | 23:37 |
| amenado | nastas-> what exactly are you looking for? you know you can customize to your hearts content... | 23:38 |
| tigran | razordead: Not there. | 23:38 |
| jrib | con-man: I'm not a lawyer so I couldn't tell you. Read http://earth.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44713 if you're worried | 23:38 |
| danand_ | NCommander - think you can specify the UID number with the adduser command ... something like adduser --gid 1001 user | 23:38 |
| nastas | just wondering | 23:38 |
| razordead | tigran: you sure you installed the php5 package? | 23:38 |
| NCommander | *sighs* | 23:38 |
| NCommander | danand_: Alright, I'll try that in a sec | 23:38 |
| amenado | nastas-> then perhaps you can visit their website to find out more about it? | 23:38 |
| tigran | razordead: went to install again: php5 is already the newest version. | 23:39 |
| NCommander | danand_: I was able to fix it by hand; I forgot to update /etc/shadow | 23:39 |
| tigran | razordead: Theres a /etc/php5 folder | 23:39 |
| mateusz | Do I have to enable compiz in Xorg.conf manualy in Ubuntu? | 23:39 |
| danand_ | NCommander - cool | 23:39 |
| jrib | mateusz: no | 23:39 |
| razordead | tigran: you're running Ubuntu 7.10 right? | 23:39 |
| NCommander | danand_: Thanks for your help | 23:39 |
| tigran | razordead: Yea | 23:39 |
| jrib | mateusz: system -> preferences -> appearance -> effects | 23:39 |
| jono | hey all - anyone know the name of that ubuntu site that shows the latest bugs, forums threads etc and updates them in realtime? | 23:40 |
| mateusz | jrib: it says it cannot be enabled | 23:40 |
| jrib | mateusz: k, tell the channel that then and provide the full details | 23:40 |
| theunixgeek | Is there any way to keep KDE and GNOME apps in their own menus? | 23:40 |
| razordead | tigran: well, we can try creating that file & there's one more to check in the same directory... php5.conf | 23:40 |
| tigran | razordead: Nope | 23:41 |
| danand_ | NCommander - you seem to have sorted it yourself :) - but no problem | 23:41 |
| jrib | jono: possibly http://www.ubuntustats.com/ though that's down now | 23:41 |
| jrib | jono: via http://digg.com/linux_unix/Ubuntu_Live_Stats_keep_track_of_what_the_Ubuntu_Community_is_up_to | 23:41 |
| NCommander | danand_: I'm remembering what a nightmare NFS is :-/ | 23:41 |
| razordead | ok, create php5.load & paste this all on 1 line... LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so | 23:41 |
| danand_ | NCommander - :) - I _hate_ NFS | 23:42 |
| jrib | razordead: purge the package and install it -- probably easier | 23:42 |
| kdallas | Q: is there any CD/DVD burner under Ubuntu which compares in ease of use to Nero-Linux 3? I have tried the usual k3b, and the roasters and toasters, but if they share similar functionalities with nero, none offer the ease of use that nero offers (well, cdrecord etc are nice but they are not always easy enough to work with). thanks | 23:42 |
| NCommander | danand_: Yeah, but in this case, its the only option :-/ | 23:42 |
| jono | thanks all | 23:42 |
| danand_ | NCommander - Never mind - sure you'll get there in the end! | 23:43 |
| razordead | jrib: can you give us the proper command to do that? | 23:43 |
| tigran | razordead: done | 23:43 |
| tigran | jrib: apt-get remove --purge php5 | 23:43 |
| tigran | ? | 23:43 |
| loa | <phaidros> i remeber how if fix problems with sound | 23:43 |

| papuccino1 | Hello, anyone know of a forum for beginner Python programming? | 23:44 |
| jrib | razordead: on your system, run 'dpkg -S /path/to/the/missing/file'. Then tell tigran to do 'sudo aptitude purge result_of_the_command_on_your_system'. Make sense? | 23:44 |
| Draizdizzle | can someone help me with a sda2 error? | 23:44 |
| theunixgeek | If I sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, will all default Kubuntu apps also be installed? | 23:44 |
| jrib | papuccino1: there is a programming forum on ubuntuforums.org. Or ask in #python | 23:44 |
| crusie | at the first dash on the loading bar, I can see it loads usb and internet - then goes idle | 23:44 |
| jrib | !someone | Draizdizzle | 23:44 |
| papuccino1 | :D Thanks jrib | 23:44 |
| ubotu | Draizdizzle: 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? | 23:44 |
| razordead | jrib: got it, thanks | 23:45 |
| crusie | is there like an error log or something I can look in ? | 23:45 |
| papuccino1 | Hm... I have to be identified to join that channel. | 23:45 |
| papuccino1 | How do I do that? | 23:45 |
| razordead | tigran: sudo aptitute purge libapache2-mod-php5 | 23:45 |
| SimplySeth | how does one change kubuntu to ubuntu ? | 23:46 |
| jrib | !register > papuccino1 (read the private message from ubotu) | 23:46 |
| papuccino1 | Ok, thanks. jrib | 23:46 |
| magick | Is there a quick solution for samba slowness? I can't play files over samba until I copy them over, and browsing them takes forever.. | 23:46 |
| iDivine | I downloaded a recent file, I unzipped it, But, How do I install the program... | 23:46 |
| SniperFromHell | Does anyone know why my torrents go really slow in Ubuntu? Im using kTorrent. | 23:46 |
| jrib | SimplySeth: install the ubuntu-desktop package and choose GNOME at the login screen | 23:46 |
| papuccino1 | magick: streaming files will always be slow. | 23:46 |
| SimplySeth | jrib: thanks | 23:46 |
| SniperFromHell | it'll be 40kbps one second, and jump back up to 800 the nextr | 23:46 |
| jrib | iDivine: what are you trying to install? | 23:46 |
| iDivine | Gedit. | 23:46 |
| m0u5e | i just compiled a new ffmpeg for my mplayer, but ubuntu is trying to update my packages and install new ones according to deps... is there a way i can exclude my ffmpeg version from causing ubuntu to attempt to update the package? (i installed using checkinstall and that is why its installed to synaptic) | 23:46 |
| magick | papuccino1, not on a gigabit network.. | 23:46 |
| fuffalo | if i want to dual boot vista/ubuntu what should i make my main storage drive formatted in? XFS? | 23:47 |
| tigran | razordead: ok, done | 23:47 |
| papuccino1 | magick yes it will. | 23:47 |
| papuccino1 | !register | 23:47 |
| ubotu | By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 23:47 |
| lymeca | How does one use Gobuntu? Are there different repositories? | 23:47 |
| jrib | iDivine: gedit is installed by default on ubuntu. Accessories -> Text Editor. Furthermore, to install things you should be using a package manager like Add/Remove Programs in your menu | 23:47 |
| benny269 | anyone here know anything about octave? | 23:47 |
| SniperFromHell | fuffalo: I use NTFS. Both Ubuntu and Windows Recognizes it. | 23:47 |
| tigran | razordead: Now install the same package? | 23:47 |
| SniperFromHell | I heard FAT32 is good as well. | 23:47 |
| razordead | tigran: yes, I believe that's what you need to do | 23:47 |
| iDivine | Thanks. | 23:47 |
| jrib | benny269: if you want to know how to install it, ask that. If you need help using it, you will probably be better served in the #octave channel :) | 23:47 |
| magick | papuccino1, the files don't even play over samba. I have to copy them over (which is fast) then play them. I believe it is a config issue but I can't seem to find it. | 23:47 |
| benny269 | jrib: tried that but noone responding | 23:48 |
| m0u5e | so anyone know how to exclude my package in a way from being autoupdated, including its deps? (i don't think lock locks its deps too) | 23:48 |
| papuccino1 | magick: Playing files instead of copying them first, is ALWAYS slow. There is no "fix". It's just that way. | 23:48 |
| crusie | any ideas on what to look for when my boot freezes after loading usb and lan ? | 23:48 |
| SniperFromHell | What's a good torrent to use? | 23:48 |
| jrib | benny269: what is your question? | 23:48 |
| SniperFromHell | torrent program* | 23:48 |
| jrib | !torrent > sniperfromhell (read the private message from ubotu) | 23:48 |
| SniperFromHell | kTorrent seems to throttle my speeds. | 23:48 |
| magick | papuccino1, It doesn't work at all.. doesn't play, doesn't open.. its not that its slow. | 23:48 |
| loa | <crusie> blacklist your lan and usb modules | 23:49 |
| nickrud | m0u5e: sudo aptitude hold ffmpeg should do it | 23:49 |
| m0u5e | nickrud: okay ill try that thx | 23:49 |
| danand_ | magick - did you use the socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 in your smb.conf file? | 23:49 |
| tigran | razordead: Ok theres a php5.conf and load file | 23:49 |
| SniperFromHell | Thanks, jRib | 23:49 |
| loa | <crusie> and add them after system started | 23:49 |
| benny269 | jrib: using koctave under ubuntu as a substitute for matlab but its not outputting graphs? | 23:49 |
| nickrud | m0u5e: you might want to do the same for any deps you think necessary | 23:49 |
| razordead | tigran: nice... restart Apache & I assume you'll be good to go | 23:49 |
| LadyNikon | is libsound and libsoundtouch he same thing? | 23:49 |
| magick | danand_, no I did not | 23:49 |
| crusie | loa: I had ubuntu installed before in the exact same setup ( like 2 hours ago) with no problems | 23:49 |
| papuccino1 | magick: YOU CAN'T STREAM. You must copy first. | 23:49 |
| loa | <crusie> strange, try google for your pc model | 23:50 |
| tigran | razordead: Yep, I am. Thanks a lot and thanks jrib. | 23:50 |
| papuccino1 | Can someone check if I'm registered yet? | 23:50 |
| razordead | tigran: no problem | 23:50 |
| danand_ | magick - try it and restart your samba server - /etc/init.d/samba restart. hopefully that may help | 23:50 |
| crusie | well it's a "put together by my self 2.0" | 23:50 |
| Starnestommy | papuccino1: yes | 23:50 |
| dalai_ | 1 | 23:50 |
| papuccino1 | Nevermind, I'm registered, Thanks. | 23:50 |
| papuccino1 | :D | 23:50 |
| m0u5e | nickrud: so it won't automatically lock my deps either? :( | 23:51 |
| jrib | benny269: 1. check bugs.ubuntu.com. 2. search for packages about "octave" and "plot" in the repositories and see if you need any of those (read the descriptions) | 23:51 |
| loa | <crusie> that's right =) | 23:51 |
| m0u5e | nickrud: err *too | 23:51 |
| crusie | loa: makes it kinda hard to google :D | 23:51 |
| nickrud | m0u5e: no, only the packages you specify | 23:51 |
| unagi_ | can someone help me with gpsdrive? when i try to track it says no usb used | 23:51 |

| andril | hello all | 23:51 |
| crusie | loa: you know where to look for errors ? | 23:52 |
| crusie | loa: where is that ? | 23:52 |
| loa | dmesg i think | 23:52 |
| loa | hit dmesg command in recovery mode | 23:52 |
| crusie | loa: how do I go to recovery mode? | 23:52 |
| jrib | benny269: also, see if it's a koctave-specific problem. See if you can plot in just "octave". In octave, I believe you need gnuplot-x11 at least | 23:53 |
| crusie | loa: I've just run the live CD again | 23:53 |
| loa | you can't start live cd? | 23:53 |
| benny269 | jrib: what is the difference between octave and koctave? | 23:53 |
| crusie | loa: it's where I'm online from atm | 23:53 |
| LadyNikon | configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found. I get this while trying to configure "btsco" | 23:54 |
| jrib | benny269: I've never used koctave, but I imagine it is just a gui frontend | 23:54 |
| crusie | loa: problem is after I install when booting for the first time | 23:54 |
| LadyNikon | anyone know where i can get libsound? | 23:54 |
| loa | <crusie> tell me your hardware | 23:54 |
| Green | Is there a option or preference in firefox? I don't see any option for it | 23:54 |

| kdallas | Q: if i install KDM, would that replace GDM? Do I need KDM if I want to add KDE to ubuntu? Thanks | 23:55 |
| benny269 | jrib: part of the errors i get are "gnuplot: not found" | 23:56 |
| crusie | loa: I've tried hitting escape looking for an option called that... with no avail tho | 23:56 |
| LadyNikon | Green: edit > preferences | 23:56 |
| unagi_ | anyone use gps with ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| crusie | loa: you sure it's called recovery? | 23:56 |
| jrib | benny269: did you install the package I said? | 23:57 |
| danand_ | kdallas - no. pretty sure you do not need kdm to have kde installed | 23:57 |
| benny269 | jrib: not yet, gnuplot-x11? | 23:57 |
| kdallas | danand_, thank you | 23:57 |
| crusie | loa: well... rebooting then... seeing if I can find something... thanks for help so far | 23:57 |
| loa | <crusie> wait | 23:57 |
| crusie | loa: kk | 23:57 |
| crusie | loa: inches from the reset button lol | 23:58 |
| loa | <crusie> in my way it is " Ubuntu hardy (development branch), kernel 2.6.24-5-generic (recovery mode)" | 23:58 |
| danand_ | kdallas - you should be able to choose your session type ie kde/gnome/xfce from gdm | 23:58 |
| jrib | benny269: yep | 23:58 |
| SniperFromHell | Does anyoen know what HTTP cache is, and why it keeps starting up every half hour? | 23:58 |

| dabbill | I am listening to music on XMMS, have terminal, firefox, and xchat open, any clue why my cpu (core0) only would be at 100% at all times? | 23:58 |
| crusie | loa: I'll see what I can find | 23:58 |
| jrib | dabbill: check top | 23:58 |
| bolt | is there an ncurses- or something-based application that does remotely the same as network-manager without requiring X? | 23:59 |
| dabbill | jrib how do i do that? | 23:59 |
| kdallas | danand_, true, thanks again | 23:59 |
| jrib | dabbill: type 'top' in a terminal. If you want a gui, use system -> administration -> system monitor | 23:59 |
| loa | <dabbill> firefox some times can consume CPU) | 23:59 |
| danand_ | dabbill - type the command "top" in a terminal | 23:59 |
