| tcpdumpgod | you're going to have to hit "ctrl+alt+F1" (not right now) and drop out of X11. Then you're going to have to "sudo -i" and get to root. After you do that type "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" and that'll stop the X server. When thats done do a "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and go through all the steps to reconfigure your stuff. Try autodetection but make sure you choose the "nvidia" driver and not the "nv" driver. | 00:23 |

| Scunizi | stealthy, some mp3 players have 2 different modes that are switchable from inside the setup or config of the mp3 player itself. You might look for that and choose the 2nd option then plug it in and see if it mounts. | 00:30 |

| goodmami | imaginator: in gtk applications I can usually right-click the text area and change the input method there | 00:46 |

| TSCDan | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on this system with an integrated 7050 video card and an NEC 14" LCD (1024x768 @75hz). I've reconfigured the X server to use these parameters (nv and vesa), but I always get "Signal out of range" on my LCD (I've tried 60, 70, and 75hz). Any ideas? o.O | 00:47 |

| Dimitree | csc`, thank you :) | 00:52 |

| Pelo | !backup > ahorriblemess | 00:55 |
| budah | pelo, i'm scared of xconf | 00:56 |
| Brenny | budah: You have to get 915resolution I believe. Should be in the main repos. | 00:56 |
| csc` | ahorriblemess: if you have another computer running (helps if its linux) you can do a nice SFTP backup over a network. Thats what i tend to do | 00:56 |
| Schmao-Fmao | My current issue is that when I log in with the LTSP server running, I'm actually able to see the whole filesystem on my server machine. However, the devices in /dev are not the same. Are the devices I'm seeing the ones that belong to the client machine? | 00:56 |

| Pelo | speeddemon8803, you can also query ubotu in private with /msg ubotu !trigger | 00:57 |

However, when I create an xterm window, the characters start drawing 1 pixel further down the screen than in the console, making me get 99% of a full line free space at the bottom of the screen. This is driving me crazy. What makes that 1 pixel border?! | 00:59 |
| speeddemon8803 | actually, i did know what i was looking for but ok ill give you the benefit of the doubt of thinking i am a newbie or whatever :) | 00:59 |

| bolt | imaginator: that really would be swell. i'm aiming for making X look exactly like the console, just with the ability to run graphic stuff like firefox. that 1 wasted text line really ruins the impression | 01:01 |
| budah | Brenny, alright - the last line it says is "Patch mode 5c to resolution 1280x800 complete | 01:01 |
| budah | Brenny, now what? | 01:02 |

| Jack_Sparrow | encrypt128bit: Short version in here, keep it short.. NEVER more than three lines | 01:52 |
| imaginator | nohla: you may find that you're out of shared memory, but it does sound like a bug in Totem. Everytime a program crashes it may not cleanup the SysV shared memory that ipcs lists. | 01:52 |
| Brenny | Dil, even if it's a Windows machine on the other end? | 01:52 |
| imaginator | nohla: especially video players | 01:52 |
| Pelo | dialup, what is this in regards to ? | 01:52 |
| dialup | installing 7.10 | 01:53 |
| dialup | x64 | 01:53 |
| imaginator | nohla: in which case youc an use ipcrm to remove the shared memory identifier | 01:53 |
| speeddemon8803 | thats not good | 01:53 |
| dialup | tried both graphical and alt..... checksum good, cd 100% | 01:53 |
| Pelo | dialup, go back to i386 alt install cd | 01:53 |

| j1solutions | hello everyone | 01:53 |
| Xbehave | is there a way to automatically run a script when in range of a wireless network? i.e i connect then i run VPN script automatically] | 01:53 |
| ahorriblemess | eh, thught that would do something | 01:53 |
| imaginator | do any of you know if there is an automated way to cleanup the shared memory segments that ipcs lists in ubuntu? Perhaps a graphical way? | 01:54 |
| Webu | Am I right "sudo apt-get install compiz compizconfig-settings-manager" is all I need to install Compiz on Ubuntu 7.10? | 01:54 |
| DIL | Brenny, ip transcends | 01:54 |
| Pelo | ahorriblemess, it will , ubotu is just lagging a bit | 01:54 |
| osxdude|laptop | restarting client, brb | 01:54 |
| ahorriblemess | oh | 01:54 |
| Pelo | !botsnack | 01:54 |
| encrypt128bit | such chaos in here. | 01:54 |
| ahorriblemess | ok, I just don't really know all the commands and stuff. I wasn't sure if that was one | 01:54 |
| Brenny | Dil, alright, thanks. Ill give that a look. Figure out the syntax I need. | 01:54 |
| Pelo | encrypt128bit, , it's just a busy channel, repeat your query periodicaly and breifly | 01:55 |
| DIL | Brenny, kk, | 01:55 |
| Pelo | ahorriblemess, most of the commands will give a short text with a few links regarding specific , common problems | 01:55 |
| Anizuka | Pelo, the Ispci isnt working in the terminal | 01:55 |
| miraage | Is it possible to install an old version of the UBUNTU kernel without compiling from source? | 01:55 |
| mjw- | Anizuka it's lspci, not Ispci | 01:56 |
| Brenny | Dil, sorry, didn't mean for you to go look for it if thats how it came it. I'm hunting it down right now:) | 01:56 |
| Joey_Fippin | hmm, restarting didn't fix me | 01:56 |
| imaginator | daniel733473: does the Linux dmesg program list anything that would indicate a device driver having problems? | 01:56 |
| Anizuka | xD | 01:56 |
| Pelo | Anizuka, you do know what linux is case sensitive right & | 01:56 |
| Pelo | ? | 01:56 |
| miraage | It seems that there's only one kernel version in my apt repository | 01:56 |
| nohla | imaginator, im really new in ubuntu, i hardly understand ubuntu, terminal and English. If it isnt easy yo cant help me because i cant help you to understand me | 01:56 |
| arrrghhh | hey to make something runable from anywhere i just have to do a "sudo ln -s <filename>" and then i can run "filename" from whereever in the terminal right? | 01:56 |
| Anizuka | Pelo, no, I didnt | 01:56 |
| Dr_willis | arrrghhh, you need to link it to somewhere in your path | 01:57 |
| daniel733473 | imaginator: I will check on this boot. I had powered it off and started reading about boot options. I am trying to boot with "generic.all_generic_ide=1" now. If that doesn't work, I'll be reading dmesg very carefully. Thanks for your time so far :) | 01:57 |
| imaginator | nohla: I understand. It's probably just a bug in Totem. Please report it if you can. I know that english isn't your native language :) | 01:57 |
| arrrghhh | Dr_willis, can you be a little less vague please? | 01:57 |
| Pelo | imartron, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel | 01:57 |
| imartron | Yeah, just noticed ;) | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | arrrghhh, what you are doing is totally wrong.. since your command is wrong... | 01:57 |
| miraage | How can I install an older version of linux-image (linux-image-2.6.21 or less) ? | 01:57 |
| imartron | I'm not getting relevant results in ubuntuforums or google | 01:57 |
| imartron | here's my error message: | 01:57 |
| imartron | Nautilus can't be used now. Running the command "bonobo-slay" from the console may fix the problem. If not, you can try rebooting the computer or installing Nautilus again. | 01:57 |
| imartron | Bonobo couldn't locate the Nautilus_shell.server file. One cause of this seems to be an LD_LIBRARY_PATH that does not include the bonobo-activation library's directory. Another possible cause would be bad install with a missing Nautilus_Shell.server file. | 01:57 |
| imartron | Running "bonobo-slay" will kill all Bonobo Activation and GConf processes, which may be needed by other applications. | 01:57 |
| imartron | Sometimes killing bonobo-activation-server and gconfd fixes the problem, but we don't know why. | 01:57 |
| FloodBot3 | imartron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:57 |
| Pelo | ok , I'm just getting pmed by everyoneand their cousings | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | arrrghhh, your commands must be somewhere in your path of commands. Bash fundamentals. | 01:58 |
| Joey_Fippin | my bad pelo | 01:58 |
| arrrghhh | Dr_willis, wha? | 01:58 |
| nickrud | imartron: so, did you do all of those things they suggested? | 01:58 |
| DIL | Brenny, no dude, i learned dd and thought how nice it would be to dd over network netcat was the tool i looked at not much hands on | 01:58 |
| encrypt128bit | Heres my problem: Im installing UBUNTU via alternate cd, MD5 checked out on the ISO file i downloaded, and the check CD didnt find any errors. Im at the stage in the install where you select and install software, and it keeps failing. (Im running a P4 3GHz, 1GB of ram, gefore 6800) im installing ubuntu on a seperate hard drive as well. | 01:58 |
| Pelo | imartron, try these commands, sudo apt-get remove nautilus --purge and then sudo apt-get install nautilus | 01:58 |
| Joey_Fippin | any ideas on getting device manager to start? | 01:59 |
| Brenny | Dil, looking at a webpage right now. Netcat looks like exactly what I need. Thanks a bunch. I | 01:59 |
| macogw | encrypt128bit: and you're sure the optical drive's in good shape? | 01:59 |
| speeddemon8803 | device manager? | 01:59 |
| encrypt128bit | Yes | 01:59 |
| Joey_Fippin | yeah, its supposed to be under system > administration > device manager | 02:00 |
| Joey_Fippin | but def not there for me | 02:00 |
| Pelo | encrypt128bit,try pre partitionning your harddrive, make 3 partitons, / ext3 about 10 gig , swap linux-swap 2 gig and /home ext3 the rest | 02:00 |
| slugone_ | sry my internet got messed up, the zlib worked, but now it says "requires openssl even though i just reinstalled it " (im trying to make wepdecrypt) | 02:00 |
| macogw | Joey_Fippin: right click the menu and go to edit. maybe its just hidden? | 02:00 |
| Pelo | encrypt128bit, then use manual partitionning in the installer , select where each ofthe partition goes that will save you some formating | 02:00 |
| imaginator | daniel733473: you might also want to install the linux-source package and then look in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt which has a bunch of IDE options that could be useful towards getting it to be faster. | 02:00 |
| Joey_Fippin | i just installed ubuntu, but its screwing me over in like 10 ways | 02:00 |
| nohla | imaginator, thanks. hardly ever somebody help in ubuntu-es. Try in english is easier than find a good soul :( | 02:00 |
| macogw | Joey_Fippin: sudo lshw will also tell you the same info | 02:00 |
| Pelo | Joey_Fippin, just list them one at a time | 02:00 |
| echosystm | can someone tell me how to echo the time in a terminal? | 02:01 |
| rsk | Joey_Fippin, well an OS is like a wife... | 02:01 |
| Joey_Fippin | not hidden | 02:01 |
| echosystm | echo $(time) ?! | 02:01 |
| imartron | I've tried 1) bonobo-slay. 2) reboot. 3) reinstall nautilus | 02:01 |
| imaginator | nohla: It's tough sometimes. Perhaps you will gain experience and be able to help people in ubuntu-es :) | 02:01 |
| imartron | I don't know how to work with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or how to find Nautilus_Shell.server | 02:01 |
| slugone_ | sry my internet got messed up, the zlib worked, but now it says "requires openssl even though i just reinstalled it " (im trying to make wepdecrypt) ((((i have a fresh install((yesterday)) )))) | 02:02 |
| Pelo | slugone_, make sure you ahve the -dev packages isntalled as well | 02:02 |
| frank23 | slugone_: you have libssl-dev installed? | 02:02 |
| Joey_Fippin | pelo: list what one at a time? | 02:02 |
| miraage | I don't get it... Does ubuntu remove old kernel versions when a new version is instaled? | 02:02 |
| rredd4 | If i install xp on my partition, will xp overwrite 7.10? | 02:03 |
| Pelo | slugone_, when compiling manualy always install the -dev packages of the dependencies requested | 02:03 |
| Varanger | hi | 02:03 |
| slugone_ | i do | 02:03 |
| imartron | my most recent action was to do the 'recommended upgrades' which included firefox and firefox-gnome... not sure what else | 02:03 |
| miraage | It seems to, and I can't understand why it would ever do that | 02:03 |
| Pelo | Joey_Fippin, never mind | 02:03 |
| imartron | but it's my guess that the problem may have arisen from that | 02:03 |
| DIL | rredd4: yes | 02:03 |
| slugone_ | well maybe its cuz im missing 1 more dependency i cant find in synaptic ill list it in a sec | 02:03 |
| jay-oh-en | anybody here thats decent with html or kompozer or whatever program you use && gimp / photoshop want to help me make a website? | 02:03 |

| speeddemon8803 | great, bots back :) | 02:04 |
| nohla | imaginator, Your are such a hopeful guy :):):) | 02:04 |
| rredd4 | DIL even though 7.10 is on a different partition? | 02:04 |
| Pelo | Joey_Fippin, menu > system > admin > restricted driver | 02:04 |
| miraage | HELLO WTF | 02:04 |
| DIL | rredd4: no | 02:04 |
| Varanger | I have recently bought a larger hard disk for backup purposes. The new one is 500 GB and the older one is only 80GB. I am trying to backup the whole 80-gb HD to a file in the second hard disk. I have questions: What filesystem should I use and how can I make the backup & restore process? | 02:04 |
| Pelo | miraage, what %? | 02:04 |
| jay-oh-en | speeddemon8803, im not a bot | 02:04 |

| imartron | Pelo: your message got list in the rest... Trying the reinstall now | 02:05 |
| DIL | rredd4: two separate is ok it will dual boot | 02:05 |
| Pelo | imartron, try these commands, sudo apt-get remove nautilus --purge and then sudo apt-get install nautilus | 02:05 |
| frank23 | rredd4: if you install windows on a different partition than linux, it will still overwrite the MBR | 02:05 |
| rredd4 | DIL just have to redo grub | 02:05 |
| jay-oh-en | miraage, i thought somebody would answer your question | 02:05 |
| jay-oh-en | miraage, yes ubuntu does | 02:06 |

| jgodfrey0723 | hi guys | 02:12 |

| nickrud | tantric132: 3: one for / (around 10gb) , one for swap (2xRam up to 2gb) one for /home the rest | 02:17 |
| Joey_Fippin | instead of the network manager? | 02:17 |
| slugone_ | well im getting close ;) now this is my only error when trying to ./configure (checking for MD5_Init in -lcrypto... no) | 02:17 |

| tantric132 | Pelo, so delete the first, insert my XP disk into the drive, boot from it, install it on the remaining ext3, and then what? | 02:19 |
| miraage | jay-oh-en: Are you stalling for time or...? | 02:19 |

| miraage | jay-oh-en: All I can see are ways of compiling from src | 02:20 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, well if you asked more then what I told you earlier , not sure, remove the broken package and purge it then reinstall it and try to install what ever it was again | 02:21 |
| jay-oh-en | miraage, why not try that | 02:21 |

| jay-oh-en | well Anizuka isnt gonna get help | 02:21 |

| jgodfrey0723 | Pelo, i got W: Unable to locate package libgnuomeui-dev. How do I purge that file? | 02:22 |
| slugone_ | good now its just that last one you said should be in synaptic that i cant see (((configure: error: You must have fltk installed! | 02:22 |
| slugone_ | ))))) | 02:22 |
| Flannel | subichan: no | 02:22 |
| Joey_Fippin | jay-oh-en, do you think it is a driver problem? | 02:22 |
| Anizuka | xD | 02:22 |
| imartron | is there some default place where I can look for a boot/error log? Maybe I can learn more about why nautilus isn't starting | 02:22 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, you are doing this in cli ? try doing it with synaptic | 02:22 |
| miraage | jay-oh-en: So there's no way? | 02:22 |
| subichan | Flannel: I can't access those files though. I think the folder is locked somehow | 02:22 |
| miraage | Other than src?! | 02:22 |
| Anizuka | jay-oh-en, eh.. | 02:22 |
| speeddemon8803 | Anizuka, using you as an example as why pastebin is good :) | 02:22 |
| squee | Is there another way to read the cpu info besides reading /proc/cpuinfo? | 02:22 |

| Joey_Fippin | how do i test to see if my wireless drivers are set up right? | 02:23 |
| jay-oh-en | Joey_Fippin, no | 02:23 |
| Pelo | Anizuka, you very probabaly have an ati card, goto menu >`system > admin > restricted driver , see if there is a driver for your card that needs installing | 02:23 |
| frank23 | imartron: there are lots of logs under /var/log/ | 02:23 |
| squee | Joey_Fippin, sudo iwlist scan | 02:23 |

| Varanger | I have recently bought a larger hard disk for backup purposes. The new one is 500 GB and the older one is only 80GB. I am trying to backup the whole 80-gb HD to a file in the second hard disk. I have questions: What filesystem should I use and how can I make the backup & restore process? | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | squee, probably, but cat /proc/cpuinfo works fine for me :) | 02:23 |
| jay-oh-en | miraage, prolly not but im looking | 02:23 |
| slugone_ | ure right i see now that lower case l looks atlot like the number 1 on my monitor | 02:23 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Pelo, tried that, the file doesn't show up as being installed | 02:23 |
| speeddemon8803 | and im kidding :) | 02:23 |
| ubotu | jgodfrey0723 fix your sources.: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 02:23 |
| subichan | Flannel: I'm just double clicking on the www folder to get inside and copy files over other files, but I can't even enter it | 02:23 |
| frank23 | imartron: there might a log viewer too i don't know | 02:23 |
| craigbass1976 | I have a strange issue, not finding much in google... I have eth0 set up as dhcp, and when tryign to restart the netowrk, I get a bunch of SIOCSIF....: Permission denied errors. IP stays the same, but I get no default gw, thus can't get out. | 02:23 |
| BananaMon | guys....using Preferences>Sessions for a list of startup programs does not work for me...is there another way to manage startup programs and scripts? In more detail?? | 02:23 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, can u elaborate? sorry... | 02:23 |
| tantric132 | Pelo, one last question...I must install XP on the empty space before installing ubuntu on the ext3 correct? | 02:23 |
| Pelo | !backup > Varanger check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 02:23 |
| Joey_Fippin | squee: no scan results on eth1 | 02:24 |
| Varanger | Pelo: Sorry | 02:24 |
| miraage | maybe I can get old .debs for kernel images? | 02:24 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, are you sure you ahve the correct spelling ? | 02:24 |
| jgodfrey0723 | ubotu, did that and still no good, i'll show u the results i get when trying through synaptic | 02:24 |
| jay-oh-en | miraage, if you have any chance it would be to look in synaptic for the kernel | 02:24 |
| Flannel | subichan: you should be able to open it. It should be world readable. But, the files are all owned by www-data, your regular user wont be able to edit them | 02:24 |
| craigbass1976 | For some reason this drive have been chowned so that uid 500 owned everything. I set it so that root owned everything except the /home/ contents, and am stuck here | 02:24 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: you have a bot message above | 02:24 |
| nickrud | Pelo: he has bad sources, that package is in main | 02:24 |
| jay-oh-en | miraage, Just search for "linux-kernel" | 02:24 |
| Pelo | tantric132, yes, always install windows first that way when ubuntu isntalls it sees xp and puts it in the boot menu | 02:24 |
| Anizuka | Pelo, hey, your rightz! | 02:25 |
| subichan | Flannel: do you think I was not given an admin account after all? | 02:25 |
| tantric132 | Pelo, so THATS why I kept getting the root system file is not defined? | 02:25 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: then you're gonna have problems, a lot of stuff has to be owned by other users | 02:25 |
| Pelo | Anizuka, I occasionnaly am | 02:25 |
| Anizuka | Pelo, thanks | 02:25 |
| Anizuka | xD | 02:25 |
| Pelo | tantric132, possibly | 02:25 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, really... even in the folders besides /home? | 02:25 |
| Flannel | subichan: having an admin account is an entirely independant thing. You can type "groups" and see if you're in admin | 02:25 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Pelo, tried under synaptic, marked for installation, got an error message saying file has unresolved dependencies | 02:25 |
| tantric132 | Pelo, you the man! Thanks bro...going to do it now | 02:25 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Pelo, libgnomeui-dev: | 02:26 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Depends: libgnome2-dev but it is not going to be installed | 02:26 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Depends: libbonoboui2-dev but it is not going to be installed | 02:26 |
| Flannel | subichan: what does ls -al /var/ | grep www give you? | 02:26 |
| pocketwatch | is there a modifier key i can use to scroll horizontally with my mouse wheel? | 02:26 |
| echosystm | if i need to install the nvidia driver from console, is it just nvidia-glx? | 02:26 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, can you find those two packages in the repos ? | 02:26 |
| BananaMon | um...so does anyone know if there are alternatives to managing startup programs than Admin>Sessions? | 02:26 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Pelo, yes | 02:26 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, and ... | 02:26 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: I'm guessing you changed the owner of files like /var/run/klogd ? shouldn't be owned by root | 02:26 |
| PriceChild | BananaMon, system > preferences > sessions ? | 02:26 |
| jgodfrey0723 | Pelo, both are unmarked, when i try to install them they come back saying unresolved dependencies, its really weird | 02:27 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: it's not wierd. Have you checked software sources, made sure the first four are selected yet? | 02:27 |
| BananaMon | PriceChild: yeah....but somehow, no matter how I edit that list, programs I have previously removed still startup and do abnormal things | 02:27 |
| Flannel | jgodfrey0723: pastebin your sources.list, you probably have -updates but not the regular gutsy | 02:27 |
| subichan | Flannel: I'm not on that machine and I don't really know how to use secureshell even if I was given the account info, so I'll have to go check tomorrow morning.. what should that command give me by default? | 02:27 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, yes, everything checked that you said to | 02:27 |
| PriceChild | BananaMon, probably because you've broken permissions elsewhere | 02:27 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, menu >ssystem > admin > software sources, check every box on the first tab and the backport box on the 3rd tab , then try again, close synaptic first | 02:27 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, I can't remember, but I think I never planned on using this drive again, threw it in a cent box and mounted 'er up (because the new computer is only sata, no ide ports) then chowned everything to me (500 on the cent box) | 02:27 |
| miraage | jay-oh-en: Ok thanks | 02:28 |
| Pelo | jgodfrey0723, and after that you are on your own , I have to get to bed, work tomorrow | 02:28 |
| Pelo | g'night folks | 02:28 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, then copied config files and my own data to this new box. | 02:28 |
| lz7 | what ubufox firefox addon does? | 02:28 |
| BananaMon | PriceChild: ah....I'm kind of a noob, do you know how I can test where that is, or what I can do about it? | 02:28 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: then, apt-cache policy libboboboui2-dev , does it say it has an installation candidate? | 02:28 |
| Flannel | subichan: well, you're checking the permissions for that folder, its probably drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2008-01-21 13:56 www (with the date/time being different, of course) | 02:28 |
| Hilikus | how can i check if a disk in my dvd drive is blank? | 02:28 |
| jgodfrey0723 | pelo, thanks for your help :) | 02:28 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: then it's not your system drive. Then you can make it anything you want. What's your intent? | 02:29 |
| jumbers | Does anybody know how reliably Ubuntu runs on the preinstalled Dell systems? | 02:29 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, E: Invalid operation libboboboui2-dev | 02:29 |
| j_humphrey | how can i get root access in the file browser? | 02:29 |
| subichan | Flannel: ok, thanks, i'll have to check how it is tomorrow morning. thanks for now | 02:29 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, but it is a system drive again. I figured out why that box stopped working in the first place (after I bought the new box in 10-07--- Took a while to get around to it) and now I want to use it as the system drive again | 02:30 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, going to take a while isn't it? | 02:30 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: you typed the command wrong, probably left out policy, try again | 02:30 |

| pocketwatch | j_humphrey, alt_f2 gksu nautilus | 02:30 |
| CoasterMaster | j_humphrey, yeah, and listen to what Flannel said | 02:30 |
| BananaMon | PriceChild: any ideas? | 02:31 |
| j_humphrey | flannel, im just trying to get some new brushes with gimp | 02:31 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: um, ls -l /var/run/klogd , if that's not owned by klogd/klog.pid , if that's not owned by klog you are screwed | 02:31 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, and it is not. | 02:31 |

| echosystm | can anyone tell me how to install nvidia drivers without using the driver manager? | 02:31 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, can I change that on the fly? | 02:31 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, joe@joe-desktop:~$ sudo apt-cache policy libboboboui2-dev | 02:31 |
| jgodfrey0723 | W: Unable to locate package libboboboui2-dev | 02:31 |
| echosystm | i need to do this straight from the command line | 02:31 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: then you are gonna wanna reinstall. A huge, tedious process otherwise | 02:31 |
| PriceChild | BananaMon, no sorry | 02:32 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, I'm wondering if it would be educational though... | 02:32 |
| BananaMon | PriceChild: alright thanks for help anyway | 02:32 |
| Joey_Fippin | what command will tell me if my essid is hidden? | 02:32 |
| BananaMon | TC all | 02:32 |
| craigbass1976 | is there a way to find every file owned by a given user? | 02:32 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: ok, that particular one is not in ubuntu. What are you trying to compile? | 02:32 |
| Marupa | Is there any way to make the middle mouse button start up a 'autoscroll' in firefox? Scrolling down 15 pages with a scroll wheel is a pain in the butt. | 02:32 |

| Xbehave | the site said it required openmotif | 02:32 |
| craigbass1976 | Marupa, I thought clicking on the scroll wheel in firefox would do that | 02:33 |
| slugone_ | OMFG you guys are the best now i can make files from source...this is the happiest day of my life (ex windows user :P) tanks maties | 02:33 |
| Marupa | craigbass1976, it isn't. | 02:33 |

| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, basically i'm just trying to get the advanced compiz settings, and in order to do that i need those two files and don't know why they say they have dependencies | 02:33 |
| slugone_ | ccsm? | 02:33 |
| Joey_Fippin | simple question guys: what command will tell me if my essid is hidden? | 02:33 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: why not just install compizconfig-settings-manager ? You not on gutsy? | 02:33 |
| slugone_ | joey check your router | 02:34 |
| Xbehave | Joey_Fippin: depends what tools you have | 02:34 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: probably, but it's not something I'd want to spend time doing | 02:34 |
| Joey_Fippin | check it for what | 02:34 |
| slugone_ | login to router for essid info | 02:34 |

| slugone_ | then ucan endable diable it | 02:35 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: put a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 02:35 |

| nickrud | pocketwatch: the problem is, the user's are all set to root, he needs to find out what they need to be :) | 02:36 |

| craigbass1976 | nickrud, I can run that command on my good box to get an idea of what's scerwed on my bad one, right? | 02:36 |
| nickrud | craigbass1976: yup | 02:36 |
| craigbass1976 | nickrud, just going through /etc/passwd and running th command for every user in there | 02:36 |

| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: I have a feeling that some of the automatix or tuxfamily stuff is your problem. Try disabling them, and running sudo apt-get update and then the install you want. Any packages from them you already have won't be removed | 02:41 |

| kennypu | anyways, i need help with installing a wifi driver. all the cd gave was a tar.gz with some source in it | 02:45 |
| arrummzen | kennypu, odds are ubuntu has a precompiled driver module for it. | 02:45 |
| arrummzen | kennypu, what is the card called? | 02:45 |
| pocketdrummer | Can anyone tell me how to set up samba? | 02:45 |

| speedhunt3r | hey I'm trying to remember the name of the application that displays the system cpu usage/mem / swap etc on your desktop...any idea what the name of the app is/ | 02:46 |
| lymeca | Does anyone know if an RSS aggregator can be added to DirectConnect? | 02:46 |
| Anizuka | can someone help? when I try to use extra on appearance it says the composite extension is not available. | 02:46 |
| Brenny | pocketdrummer, System -> Administration -> Shared Folders, as a start | 02:46 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, install your restricted drivers | 02:46 |
| x1bncwn | is it possible to do a HD install of ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: now try installing libgnomeui-dev | 02:47 |
| === csc`` is now known as csc` | ||
| Brenny | x1bncwn, yep, just choose the 'install' icon on the desktop from the LiveCD | 02:47 |
| x1bncwn | Brenny: not that kind of HD install, i mean install -from- the HD as opposed to the livecd | 02:48 |
| x1bncwn | is there a way to boot the livecd image on drive | 02:48 |
| frank23 | lymeca: what do you mean? are there rss feeds for files on direct connect? | 02:48 |
| nickrud | !install | x1bncwn I think a method or two are listed here | 02:48 |
| ubotu | x1bncwn I think a method or two are listed here: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD?

| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, they are. both the ATI and HTL are in use | 02:48 |
| pocketdrummer | Brenny: Does anything have to be installed on windows to get samba to work? | 02:48 |
| Brenny | x1bncwn, ohhh, alright. What kind of HD? USB or IDE/SATA on another machine? | 02:48 |
| WorkingOnWise | I broke my panels in Gnome. Both are gone. how can I get them back? or clear the setings for them and get the defaults back. I can get into a terminal so thats how I start apps | 02:49 |
| x1bncwn | IDE or USB | 02:49 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, what video card are you using? | 02:49 |
| imartron | if I wanted to find the file "Nautilus_Shell.server" from the command line, is "locate -r 'Nautilus_Shell.server'" the proper command? | 02:49 |
| Brenny | pocketdrummer, nope. Windows has all the shared stuff installed automatically. Just make sure both computers are in the same workgroup | 02:49 |
| nickrud | !resetpanels | WorkingOnWise | 02:49 |
| ubotu | WorkingOnWise: To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel » | 02:49 |
| kennypu | arummzen, so just see if there is a precompiled module for it? | 02:49 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, ATI | 02:49 |

| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, would i use sudo apt-get libgnomeui-dev | 02:50 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, forgot the command sorry | 02:50 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: sudo apt-get install , just like before | 02:50 |
| === Ash908 is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: a little trick: press ctl-r then type apt-get , it searches backwards for you and you can edit the line. Saves typing, helps you remember commands | 02:51 |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: um...I cant use the consoles because I also have a yet to be solved video driver problem. will that command work from a gnome terminal? | 02:51 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise: yes | 02:51 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, type glxinfo | grep rendering in terminal what does it say? | 02:51 |
| WorkingOnWise | nick | 02:51 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, sweet tip! here's what it came up with: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55560/ | 02:51 |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: thanks | 02:52 |
| seig | hello | 02:52 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: ok, definitely disable those extra repos of yours, and run sudo apt-get update | 02:52 |

| craigbass1976 | nickrud, cross your fingers for me... There really weren | 02:53 |
| craigbass1976 | 't too many | 02:53 |
| pocketdrummer | Brenny: I see the workgroup there, but when I click on it, it says "The folder contents could not be displayed" | 02:53 |
| Anizuka | Usage: glxinfo [-v] [-t] [-h] [-i] [-b] [-display <dname>] | 02:54 |
| Anizuka | -v: Print visuals info in verbose form. | 02:54 |
| Anizuka | -t: Print verbose table. | 02:54 |
| Anizuka | -display <dname>: Print GLX visuals on specified server. | 02:54 |
| Anizuka | -h: This information. | 02:54 |
| Anizuka | -i: Force an indirect rendering context. | 02:54 |
| FloodBot3 | Anizuka: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:54 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, what is the command to get to sources.list | 02:54 |
| Brenny | pocketdrummer, I find sometimes for network changes to take effect I have to reboot the machines I want to interact. That and Ubuntu will be able to see Windows, but if Ubuntu is in EXT3/2, Windows wont be able to see Ubuntu. | 02:54 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, nm i remember | 02:55 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: sudoedit .. ok | 02:55 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, you should type " glxinfo | grep rendering " everything inside the quotes in terminal. | 02:55 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, dude, I havent the slightest idea how to work that pastebin thing | 02:56 |
| danielski_pl | thanx to the awesome ppl on this irc chat, im never switching back to microsuck's dirty windows. | 02:56 |
| Anizuka | xD | 02:56 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, just go to the URL, paste your stuff..and send us the link after you hit paste. | 02:56 |
| Anizuka | oh | 02:56 |
| Anizuka | ok | 02:56 |
| Stepa1 | I like the use of the PDF printer, but how can i change the directory of where the files end up? | 02:56 |
| SupaFly | hey with the crystal window decorator on kubuntu gutsy, my window borders dissaperard, how do i get them back? | 02:57 |
| pocketdrummer | Brenny: So, if I wanted to print from the windows computer, I wouldn't be able to because I'm using EXT3? | 02:57 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, keeng chee chow? | 02:57 |
| Anizuka | idivine, ? | 02:57 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, ;P | 02:58 |
| Anizuka | idivine, ok.. | 02:58 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, What did they tell you to paste.. | 02:58 |
| Brenny | pocketdrummer, I couldn't tell you for sure if printing would work or not. I would say printer sharing would work, but filesharing from a Windows machine to a hard drive formatted in EXT2/3 won't happen | 02:58 |
| frank23 | SupaFly: kwin --replace & and you'll use kwin again | 02:58 |
| Anizuka | idivine, well I dont know how to copy | 02:58 |
| Dr_Willis | pocketdrummer, what are you trying to do excatly? | 02:58 |
| MrPiracy | is there a way to apply emerald themes without loggin out? | 02:58 |
| frank23 | SupaFly: sorry i assumed kde | 02:58 |
| nickrud | MrPiracy: alt-f2 emerald --replace | 02:59 |
| Boden | hi everyone, i just have one real quick and simple question. how do i add/remove the amount of workspaces? | 02:59 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, It can be a hassle at times, But just try ex: Right clicking, Middle mouse button, Or CTRL + C. | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | with samba it dosent matter what filesystem the shares are on - as long as you set them up right. | 02:59 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55561/ | 02:59 |
| echosystm | anyone know how to enable a framebuffer console in ubuntu? | 02:59 |
| MrPiracy | nickrud: hmmm no way to apply it as i click it on emerlad settings? | 02:59 |
| Dr_Willis | MrPiracy, i just use the emerald theme manager tool and click on the theme to use. | 02:59 |
| astro76 | pocketdrummer: filesystem type has nothing to do with sharing over the netwrok.. | 02:59 |
| pocketdrummer | Dr_Willis: Well, I have a computer in another room that has the printer. It is using Windows XP Home. I would like to be able to network these two together so I can't print from this computer. | 02:59 |
| SupaFly | yup kde is correct frank, cheers | 02:59 |
| nickrud | MrPiracy: never found one myself | 03:00 |
| Stepa1 | How can i change the location of where the files end up with PDF file generator? | 03:00 |
| danielski_pl | how do i kill update manager using comand line? | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | pocketdrummer, cups handles the printing shareing. samba handles the folder shares.. I do just what you are talking about all the time. | 03:00 |
| iDivine | Recently, I've been trying to boot into my windows, but it's unsuccessful because I'm greeted with the error 'Disk Read Error, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.' But I can boot into ubuntu, and access my windows folders, any help? | 03:00 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: that looks good, it's all ubuntu sources. Try installing again | 03:00 |
| zelrikriando | hey nickrud | 03:00 |
| nickrud | zelrikriando: good evening | 03:00 |
| Brenny | pocketdrummer, alright, I'm wrong then. Disregard me. But yeah, Samba is for files, cups for printer. | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | pocketdrummer, share the printer under windows, then use the cups admin tool to add the printer to the linux box's printers lists | 03:00 |
| bad_cables | is there anyone in here that has the small fonts problem with xfce? | 03:00 |
| SupaFly | sorry frank, was that kwin --replace& or kwin --replace & | 03:00 |
| toresn | i'm thinking of buying a thinkpad x61 ... does | 03:00 |
| pocketdrummer | Dr_Willis: How do I use Cups? I've never heard of it | 03:01 |
| Boden | can anyone please tell me how to change the amount of workspaces i have? | 03:01 |
| SupaFly | and it didnt bring back the window borders btw | 03:01 |
| iDivine | Boden, Have you tried right clicking them? | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | pocketdrummer, if you have ever printed on a linux box.. then you are using cups., | 03:01 |
| bad_cables | if so, i have the link to fix the small fonts issue in my bookmark folder if you need it... | 03:01 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, if its too much to ask, could you put that in a copy format :P | 03:01 |
| Brenny | Dr_Willis, I think he wants to go backwards though, and print from a windows box to a ubuntu box that has the printer installed locally. Is that any different? | 03:01 |
| frank23 | SupaFly: actually you can do alt-f2 and run kwin --replace | 03:01 |
| Stepa1 | How can i change the location of where the files end up with PDF file generator? | 03:01 |
| Mannequin | is there a wat to easily kill a process by name from terminal? | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | pocketdrummer, you use the gnome printer config tool.. add the windows shared printer. | 03:01 |
| toresn | i'm thinking of buying a thinkpad x61 ... does the intel gma x3100 run well in ubuntu? | 03:01 |
| Boden | iDivine i have, and i think it just gives me options for the toolbar | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Brenny, sharing a printer on a linxu box to a windows machine is just as easy. :) | 03:01 |
| iDivine | Boden, Try right clicking them, and click preferences, once you do that, a box should pop up, telling you how many you want ;). | 03:01 |
| astro76 | Mannequin: killall and pkill | 03:02 |
| toresn | and more general ... does ubuntu work well with the thinkpad x61? | 03:02 |
| danielski_pl | !updatemanager | 03:02 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about updatemanager - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:02 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, sorry? put what in copy format? didn't understand you. | 03:02 |
| Boden | idivine, oh, ha ha, thank you. i knew it'd be easy. | 03:02 |
| nohla | #ubuntu-es | 03:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !printer | 03:02 |
| ubotu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 03:02 |
| danielski_pl | how do i kill update manager using comand line? | 03:02 |
| iDivine | Boden, No problem ;) | 03:02 |
| MrPiracy | nickrud: in this video the guy does it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyhFeopmjmU | 03:02 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, the code you wanted me to put into the terminal =P | 03:02 |
| Brenny | Dr_Willis, I never expected it to be so easy. If only my bluetooth headset would connect as easily as a printer :P | 03:02 |
| nickrud | MrPiracy: like I said, none that I've found | 03:02 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, nogo still doing it | 03:03 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, i'm stumped | 03:03 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, Code = Command for now on ;D | 03:03 |
| Anizuka | xD | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Brenny, bluetooth is a whole nother fiasco in many ways. :) | 03:03 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, glxinfo | grep rendering <--- this | 03:03 |
| Anizuka | yeah | 03:03 |
| Dr_Willis | bye all... | 03:03 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, You can learn A LOT from reading people's problem and reading how to solve it ;). | 03:03 |
| MrPiracy | nickrud: ok, thanx | 03:03 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: as am I, since I can install it here | 03:03 |
| SupaFly | Hmm, i tried restarting X as well, but the window borders still havent come back | 03:04 |
| iDivine | Recently, I've been trying to boot into my windows, but it's unsuccessful because I'm greeted with the error 'Disk Read Error, Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart.' But I can boot into ubuntu, and access my windows folders, any help? | 03:04 |
| stealthy | could anyone please recommend a tool to burn or convert clonecd images? | 03:04 |

| stealthy | *buntu | 03:04 |
| Tazbobu | Trying to setup gigabit network.. i've tried a bunch of different settings, I can't seem to get my LAN to function over ethernet.. it always wants to go over wireless.. anybody know how to setup properly from a windows machine to ubuntu machine? I tried a couple tutorials and they didn't work. | 03:04 |
| stealthy | Xubuntu preferably | 03:04 |
| Brenny | iDivine, sounds like something in the GRUB entry for Windows is messed up. | 03:04 |
| iDivine | stealthy, Have you tried looking in the Synaptic? | 03:04 |
| stealthy | Would prefer to not have to apt-get half of gnome to accomplish this | 03:04 |
| iDivine | Benny, How would I fix it?... | 03:05 |
| stealthy | iDivine, not past k3b | 03:05 |

| unomeasjon | Why isnt that working. | 03:05 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, how do you do that line thingy between glxinfo and grep? =P | 03:05 |
| pocketdrummer | Dr_Willis: Ok, I found where I'm supposed to be, but it doesn't see the printer. It shows the computer the printer is connected to, but doesn't find the printer. | 03:05 |
| iDivine | Anizuka, Shift and the slash button above eneter | 03:05 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, when i run the sudo command to get all the files it will start running and then abort i'll paste it | 03:06 |
| mjw- | Anizuka it's the pipe...probably above your enter key | 03:06 |
| zelrikriando | nickrud: what s up? | 03:06 |
| Brenny | iDivine, could be any number of things. You know your setup better than I do. Try snooping around your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and make sure HDD references are correct. I find periodic updates screw with GRUB. | 03:06 |
| Anizuka | oh | 03:06 |
| Anizuka | ooohhh | 03:06 |
| Anizuka | ok | 03:06 |
| frank23 | stealthy i think its ccd2iso | 03:06 |
| Anizuka | thanks | 03:06 |
| iDivine | Brenny, Do you have any Links/Resources I could look into? | 03:06 |
| jgodfrey0723 | nickrud, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55562/ | 03:06 |
| Stepa1 | Can the location of the PDF printer output be changed? | 03:06 |
| nickrud | jgodfrey0723: don't know what to say. It's possible you installed some conflicting package from the other repos already | 03:06 |
| iDivine | !boot | 03:06 |

| theAtom | how can i upgrade 7.10 to latest ubuntu? | 03:11 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, and it's enabled? | 03:11 |
| nickrud | daniel733473: sudo killall update-manager | 03:11 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, yeah | 03:11 |
| speedhunt3r | theAtom, 7.10 is latest at the moment...wait till april for next release. | 03:11 |
| nickrud | !hardy | theAtom | 03:11 |
| ubotu | theAtom: 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 | 03:11 |
| theAtom | nickrud, any idea? | 03:11 |
| astro76 | theAtom: 7.10 is latest | 03:11 |
| riotkittie | theAtom: 7.10 is the latest stable release | 03:11 |
| frank23 | theAtom: 7.10 is the latest ubuntu release | 03:11 |
| nickrud | theAtom: see the factoid above | 03:12 |
| Tazbobu | Anybody know how to get LAN to share only over ethernet instead of Wireless? | 03:12 |
| theAtom | but can i upgrade to beta Hardy Heron? | 03:12 |
| visualdeception | does any1 have the location for rss feed plugin for evolution?? The link on evolutions webpage is dead | 03:12 |

| theAtom | ok | 03:12 |
| egc | this is probably obvious, but how can i get a home folder icon on my desktop? | 03:12 |
| danielski_pl | [Q] how do i kill update manager using Terminal? | 03:12 |
| ahorriblemess | ok I've lost my sound, I updated System76, rebooted, nothing is working. I tried going into update manager and package manager, i get this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55563/plain/ | 03:12 |
| tom___ | Is there a fix yet for the vmsplice exploit? | 03:12 |
| ahorriblemess | then I just realized I blindly followed forum posts and got the system76 driver, and I don't have a system76 | 03:13 |
| nickrud | tom___: it's in the kernel tree, a release is coming | 03:13 |
| ahorriblemess | so... first step IO'd like to take is removing that system76 update haha | 03:13 |
| riotkittie | errr. is there some way to see what upgrades are available? via the CLI? | 03:13 |
| frank23 | ahorriblemess: heh I was just thinking if you a system76 computer you're in good hands | 03:13 |
| moumny | hi | 03:13 |
| ahorriblemess | i've been searching the forums and trying to fix this for hours | 03:13 |
| danielski_pl | !killupdatemanager | 03:13 |
| moumny | whats the best bitorrent client please | 03:14 |
| hsystemV2 | danielski_pl, open terminal, write: ps -ef|grep YOUR_USER press enter, search for the process and then do a sudo kill to that process (ex: kill 4567). In the list search for the PID of the process. | 03:14 |
| visualdeception | moumny: deluge imo | 03:14 |
| ahorriblemess | i updated Alsa and now my soundcard isn't being read at all | 03:14 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, do you know whats wrong? | 03:14 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, is your video card a Radeon 9 series or X series? | 03:14 |
| ahorriblemess | !killupdatemanager | 03:14 |
| egc | moumny: +1 for deluge | 03:14 |
| witepa | Is it possible to install Ubuntu, Gutsy or Dapper Drake, onto a PowerBook G3 via target disk mode (it's cd drive is broken, and I do not have access to an external drive)? | 03:14 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, uhhh... how can I find out? | 03:14 |
| witepa | target disk mode via firewire* | 03:15 |
| moumny | ok thank you | 03:15 |
| egc | np | 03:15 |
| visualdeception | np | 03:15 |
| moumny | whats better than transmission | 03:15 |
| ahorriblemess | anyway, so how do I get my signatures verified | 03:15 |
| visualdeception | ahorriblemess: another option is install htop...then find the update manager | 03:16 |
| danielski_pl | hsystemV2: thanx for your help, problem solved | 03:16 |
| ahorriblemess | htop? | 03:16 |
| Tazbobu | Does anyone know anything about networking here? | 03:16 |
| hsystemV2 | nice. | 03:16 |
| visualdeception | ahorriblemess: yes, do sudo aptitude install htop | 03:16 |
| visualdeception | runs in command line | 03:16 |
| visualdeception | very nice | 03:16 |
| astro76 | !anyone | Tazbobu | 03:16 |
| ubotu | Tazbobu: 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? | 03:16 |
| pocketwatch | how can i "mount" an iso to act as a virtual drive? | 03:16 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, go to system> prefernces > Hardware Manager | 03:17 |
| ahorriblemess | visualdeception: ok I did that... what did that do? | 03:17 |
| frank23 | !mountiso | 03:17 |
| visualdeception | ahor | 03:17 |
| egc | is there some kind of write-up describing how ubuntu packages split up packages into the binary and dev pkgs? | 03:17 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - 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. | 03:17 |
| winnerrlz93 | hey i installed ubuntu and whenever i try to boot it i get a busybox command thing? | 03:17 |
| visualdeception | ahorriblemess: now type in htop | 03:17 |
| pocketwatch | thanks frank23 | 03:17 |
| ahorriblemess | ok | 03:17 |
| ahorriblemess | did that | 03:17 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, or Hardware information...sorry. | 03:17 |
| visualdeception | ahorriblemess: and search for the update manager, click f9 and kill | 03:17 |
| ahorriblemess | what does that do exactly | 03:17 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, and scroll down on the left side and look for your Video card model. | 03:18 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, its good. okay, what now? | 03:18 |
| egc | i.e., can you download project sources from synaptic? | 03:18 |
| winnerrlz93 | hey i installed ubuntu and whenever i try to boot it i get a busybox command thing? | 03:18 |
| visualdeception | basically runs the same command that was told above....only sort of graphically...if you call it that | 03:18 |
| astro76 | egc: dev packages and source packages are a separate thing | 03:19 |
| egc | astro76: right, i | 03:19 |
| ahorriblemess | visualdeception: I searched and it's not there | 03:19 |
| egc | oops | 03:19 |
| winnerrlz93 | any1 have any suggestions? | 03:19 |
| ahorriblemess | visualdeception: oh wait there's "update-notifier" is that it? | 03:19 |
| egc | astro76: right, i'm interested in a write-up describing the convention | 03:19 |
| astro76 | egc: apt-get source packagename will download the source package to the current directory | 03:19 |
| visualdeception | yes i believe so | 03:19 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, what am I looking for? ;P | 03:19 |
| astro76 | !packaging | egc | 03:19 |
| ubotu | egc: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports | 03:19 |

| hacked` | guys, i have a Dell Latitude D800 laptop with a geforce 4200 Go in it. I have 7.10 install running on it and would like to enable desktop effects... whenever i try to do it from appearances it says 'desktop effects cannot be enabled' the ubuntu help says this is because the graphics card does not support desktop effects, but i have heard d800's running desktop effects | 03:20 |
| hacked` | i have the nvidia driver loaded | 03:20 |
| j_humphrey | hacked, go to xorg.conf | 03:20 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, look for ATI something | 03:20 |
| hacked` | when i go to system - administration - restricted drivers manager, its enabled and in use | 03:20 |
| winnerrlz93 | can any1 help me? | 03:20 |

| j_humphrey | hacked, theres nothing in xorg.conf? o.O | 03:20 |
| Mannequin | the e-mail is being sent, but bounced by GMail | 03:20 |
| egc | hacked`: i think there are certain cards that get blacklisted | 03:21 |
| egc | hacked`: if you can find out how to modify the blacklist, you can workaround it | 03:21 |
| hacked` | j_humphrey, for me there isnt, i already am using nvidia | 03:21 |
| ahorriblemess | i have to rebot | 03:21 |
| Mannequin | I get this e-mail: "The IP you're using to send email is not authorized to send email directly to our servers. Please use the SMTP relay at your service provider instead" | 03:21 |
| hacked` | egc, why would i be blacklisted, i didnt do anything | 03:21 |
| winnerrlz93 | can any1 help me with something plz | 03:21 |
| speedhunt3r | Anizuka, try this link, it should help you better than me: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or ask other people because I need to go to class now... sorry. That link is very helpful | 03:21 |
| egc | hacked`: not you, the video card you have in your laptop | 03:22 |
| egc | i.e., there's a list of cards known not to work well | 03:22 |
| speedhunt3r | hacked`, hahaha 'why would i be blacklisted' | 03:22 |
| Anizuka | speedhunt3r, thanks though | 03:22 |
| egc | but if you want to sidestep that, you may be able to by changing the list | 03:22 |

| hacked` | egc, it didnt do anything either, why would someone blacklist a video card, doesnt make any sense to me, and furthermore, like i said earlier, i am using the nvidia driver | 03:25 |
| Anizuka | can someone help me? when I tried the extra preference on the visual effects, it says "the Composite extension is not available" | 03:25 |
| astro76 | hacked`: not someone, Ubuntu blacklists video cards known to have significant problems with compiz | 03:25 |

| CARRESS | Hi, I really need some help with installing Ubuntu. I have installed windows xp, and was able to partition my HD. Now in ubuntu, i think i see 2 partitions, and in windows, I see 1 C drive at 58GB, and unallocated space at 53GB. am trying to install ubuntu now, and I'm not sure what to do. It's asking me to partition the disk, but I've already done that, and it seems to see tht it's partitioned b/c the slider for 'new partition size' is | 03:27 |
| Brenny | fitztrev, a lot of them connect to the same network, the gnutella network. | 03:28 |
| egc | heartsblood: i'm curious about that too | 03:28 |
| CARRESS | The secon partition says free space, nothing for type and mount point, uncheckable Format box, 57116mb as size, and no used space. | 03:28 |
| egc | heartsblood: i think there was something like 'top' for the network | 03:28 |
| fitztrev | Brenny: ok thank you | 03:28 |
| egc | i never followed thru on it | 03:28 |
| heartsblood | hm | 03:28 |
| CARRESS | I'm thinking I need to create a new partition within the free space..actually create 3 partitions...but I'm utterly lost at this point. | 03:28 |
| frank23 | fitztrev: what p2p network do you want to connect to? | 03:29 |

| stonewolf | can any of u help me out with a guide about how to install ubuntu and have the windows on my hdd too? | 03:30 |
| mynyml | i had a keyboard shortcut to toggle pidgin's list open/close, but can't remember how I did it; does anyone know? | 03:30 |
| j_humphrey | carress, you still need help? | 03:30 |
| CARRESS | j_humphrey, it's already partitioned into two pieces..so I need to make the pther partitions in windows too?? what about the types...I read somewhere about using fat32 and ext3, but I can't find that document again... | 03:30 |

| dover | i just rebooted and now for some reason my monitor cant display my resolution | 03:36 |
| Djpenguin | Im installing Ubuntu Gutsy on my new PC, and Id like to do a manual partition. What formats and how big must each one be? | 03:37 |
| dover | how can i go and change the resolution without being able to actually load ubuntu? | 03:37 |
| Djpenguin | I know there must be some kind of swap | 03:37 |
| puff | Anybody using gutsy on a thinkpad t43p and want to give me some help on suspend and the ATI drivers? | 03:37 |
| akorn | Does anybody know how i can get applets to work in firefox, such as partypoker's online applet? | 03:37 |
| linuxd0g | omg, i cant get my nvidia 5500 pci (256 vid ram) working for the life of me. can anyone help? I disable onboard video, and enable pci.....it starts to boot off the cd, but then stops loading completley at the splash screen. | 03:37 |
| puff | Djpenguin: This is generally a topic of much discussion as to which is best. | 03:37 |
| hsystemV2 | Djpenguin, swap must be the double of your ram. But if you have 2gb of ram, dont do a 4gb swap, with 1gb is ok. | 03:38 |
| Brenny | dover, you can edit the xorg.conf from terminal, or from an editor on a LiveCD if it's that bad. Edit out all the resolutions you don't want, keeping the one you do. | 03:38 |
| node | exp0sed | 03:38 |
| mjw- | linuxd0g have you let it sit for a little while, sometimes it takes a little bit | 03:39 |
| moparfan90 | im thinking of going back to ubuntu. and i have a dell 1521. does anyone know if they fixed the audio yet? | 03:39 |
| linuxd0g | yes | 03:39 |
| linuxd0g | I let it sit for like 1/2 hr | 03:39 |
| dover | im trying ubuntu for the first time, whats the terminal exactly, is it when you boot in recovery mode? | 03:39 |
| egc | i'm outties like a bellybutton | 03:39 |
| astro76 | !terminal | dover | 03:39 |
| ubotu | dover: 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 | 03:39 |
| puff | Djpenguin: I've never gotten a definitive answer, but: 1) some folks (fairly knowledgable IIRC) recommended using LVM so I could resize partitions later. 2) Of course you need swap, see hsystemV2's advice, 3) In retrospect, I kinda wish I'd at least had a separate physical partition for /usr, so I could do a clean reinstall without having to worry about backing up user files. | 03:39 |
| dover | ok so its that DOS looking thing | 03:40 |
| linuxd0g | heh | 03:40 |
| linuxd0g | yea | 03:40 |
| bladezor | Would anyone happen to know where to find the library "check" | 03:40 |
| bladezor | "ld: cannot find -lmcheck" | 03:40 |
| Djpenguin | hsystemV2: I have 2GB of RAM, so I should make a 1GB swap? Also, what format for the main partition... is it ext3? | 03:40 |
| astro76 | dover: yes but please never call it that again ;) | 03:40 |
| dover | lol | 03:40 |
| linuxd0g | konsole is a good gui and u can make it look sweet | 03:40 |
| Brenny | dover, yeah. Basically. You could also try running 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' in terminal. That's a bit more straightforward. | 03:40 |
| puff | bladezor: I usually google on the error message to see if anyboy else has run into the same problem. | 03:40 |

| moparfan90 | anyone have a dell 1521 with working audio? | 03:41 |
| puff | bladezor: Did you quote the phrase/ | 03:41 |
| bladezor | yep | 03:41 |
| * linuxd0g goes to get a drink | 03:41 | |

| moumny | rawbutt, your question | 03:42 |
| b4l74z4r | where can i find info about what the tar command option xvzf and xvjf means? | 03:42 |
| puff | bladezor: When you figure out the answer, put it online somewhere ubuntuforums.org?), so the next person who runs intothe problem finds your answer. | 03:42 |
| hsystemV2 | Djpenguin, if you have 2gb of ram, then do 1gb swap. Main partition should be ext3, and must have the / | 03:42 |
| puff | b4l74z4r: tar --help | 03:42 |
| akorn | How do i check what java client i'm using | 03:42 |
| torpedo|dog | b4l74z4r: if you read "man tar", that gives an explanation of all its options. | 03:42 |
| puff | b4l74z4r: also "man tar" | 03:42 |
| astro76 | akorn: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 03:42 |
| b4l74z4r | ok, thanks | 03:42 |
| Djpenguin | hsystemV2: Is there a minimum size for the ext3? | 03:42 |
| iratsu__ | if i have 2 laptops, each with wireless cards, and one of them getting internet access, can i somehow get internet access on the other via wireless? | 03:42 |
| moumny | delugue or trasmission whats the difference? | 03:43 |
| moumny | -u | 03:43 |
| torpedo|dog | b4l74z4r: those particular options mean "extract, verbosely, the gzipped tar file", and "extract, verbosely, the bzip2'd tar file" | 03:43 |
| mjw- | Djpenguin just jumping in here, but if you ever plan to hibernate to disk, your swap must be >= RAM size | 03:43 |
| akorn | astro76 awesome thanks a lot | 03:43 |
| frank23 | b4l74z4r: x - extract v - verbose z - gzip f - file j - bzip2 | 03:43 |
| Lokii- | i need a good alarm software something that plays a repetative sound does anyone have any recomendations | 03:43 |
| Dezine | I have windows partitions mounted, how can I remove the icons from my desktop without unmounting? | 03:43 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 03:43 |
| torpedo|dog | verbose meaning it prints out each file it extracts in turn | 03:43 |
| torpedo|dog | *filename | 03:43 |
| toresn | does everything work out of the box with ubuntu on the thinkpad x61 ? | 03:44 |
| Djpenguin | mjw: I was told by hsystemV2 that I need 1GB of swap for my 2GB of RAM... Which is true? | 03:44 |
| frank23 | b4l74z4r: you don't really need to specify the compression so the j or z can be ommited | 03:44 |
| b4l74z4r | i see | 03:44 |
| b4l74z4r | so just xvf then | 03:44 |
| mjw- | Djpenguin the system will work like that, but like I said, hibernation will not...it basically needs to write RAM contents to disk to hibernate | 03:44 |
| === nirc is now known as guideX | ||
| Brenny | iratsu__, try looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Adhoc | 03:44 |
| frank23 | b4l74z4r: exactly | 03:44 |
| mjw- | Djpenguin if you never hibernate don't worry | 03:44 |
| torpedo|dog | b4l74z4r: and if you don't need it to print out every filename, you can omit the "v" | 03:44 |
| hsystemV2 | Djpenguin, is not necesary at all, but is recommended to have an swap partition, GUESS 1gb is right for you. | 03:45 |
| b4l74z4r | does it matter in which order you write x v f? | 03:45 |
| hsystemV2 | Djpenguin, yes there is a minimum for the main partition | 03:45 |
| rawbutt | okay.. sorry i guess it didnt work | 03:45 |
| Lokii- | f must be last | 03:45 |
| torpedo|dog | f should come last, I believe | 03:45 |

| Oni-Dracula | i have a bit of a problem... I have a SATA drive that I had manually mounted but it went all wrong. "Computers" has the drive listed as a 149.0 GB drive, but does not mention where it is mounted. Hardware Information lists it as being at /dev/sdb1 whereas "mount" doesn't list it as being mounted at all. I'd like to get this drive so that it's automagically mounted and unmounted on connect. | 03:45 |
| Djpenguin | mjw: hibernation? And if I have 2GB of RAM, how much swap do you recommend? | 03:45 |
| cocox_ | how can i see which process or proccesses are using /dev/dsp ??????? i tried ps aux | grep dsp .... lsmod | grep dsp ........ but still withour results... | 03:45 |
| rawbutt | and everything was great and this n that.. then i installed up dtates. on the reboot my screen resolution changed to 640-480 now i cant go back | 03:46 |

| mnharris | I am running off of a recovery CD, and its version of firefox seems to be crashing a lot, which makes it hard to browse the forums | 04:27 |
| elknof1 | does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... | 04:28 |
| bullgard4 | When resuming from Hibernate this morning this Ubuntu 7.10 computer warned: "Sound server fatal error: CPU overload, aborting. OK" How can I determine the name of the sound server program? | 04:28 |
| gold44 | mjw-: just want to create a zip file and set a password, so when my friend download it, he need to enter password | 04:28 |
| mnharris | bullgard: there is a good chance that it is um | 04:28 |
| encrypt128bit | Heres my problem: Im installing UBUNTU via alternate cd, MD5 checked out on the ISO file i downloaded, and the check CD didnt find any errors. Im at the stage in the install where you select and install software, and it tells me it failed to install, when i press ctrl+alt+F4 it says "method cdrom has died unexpectedly", then it tells me that "menu item pkgsel failed with error code 1". (Im running a P4 3GHz, 1GB of ram, | 04:28 |
| jcg42 | When trying to install new software I get the error: | 04:28 |
| jcg42 | E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true returned an error code (100) | 04:28 |
| jcg42 | E: Failure running script /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true | 04:29 |
| jcg42 | What does that mean? | 04:29 |
| mjw- | gold44 zip -e zipfile.zip doc1.doc doc2.doc is probably what you want | 04:29 |
| mnharris | how could I forget the name? it caused me all srts of problems | 04:29 |
| Kuwanger | Is it expected that gdm should be listed twice in top, ps, et al when only one Xserver is running? | 04:29 |
| bullgard4 | mnharris: What do you say? I do not understand you. | 04:29 |
| mjw- | mjw- check out man zip | 04:29 |
| ben__ | doesnt ubuntu 7.10 come packaged with samba? cause it seamed to me like someone was basically telling me eralier that i had to install it before sharing my files | 04:29 |
| mnharris | I forgot its name, which is odd, since I certainly spent enough time thinking about it | 04:29 |
| mjw- | gold44 check out the man pages for zip, it had that. man zip to see them | 04:29 |
| mnharris | Does anyone here know anything about grub? | 04:30 |
| mnharris | bullgard3: pulseaudio | 04:30 |
| yurimxpxman | I can't compile with libcurl for some reason. It's installed and I'm compiling with -lcurl... any ideas? | 04:30 |
| === rekon_ is now known as rekon | ||
| bullgard4 | ben__: You will have to install Samba packages before you can use Samba programs. | 04:30 |
| Tazbobu | Anyone know how to force samba to use the ethernet connection instead of wireless? | 04:30 |
| gold44 | mjw-: ok, i thought tar can create zip files. so i guess i'll read up on man zip. | 04:30 |
| elknof1 | does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... | 04:31 |
| mjw- | gold44 what tar creates is ".tar" or ".tar.gz" files. Plain old pkzip ".zip" files are not equivalent | 04:31 |
| ben__ | but i can already rightclick on a folder and select shared folders, then i can choose either SMB or NFS | 04:31 |
| ben__ | so do i still need to install something else? | 04:31 |
| gold44 | mjw-: ok | 04:31 |
| astro76 | ben__: checking SMB will install the needed samba packages | 04:32 |
| ben__ | ok | 04:32 |
| ben__ | so its already done then | 04:32 |
| ben__ | its cause ive been ahving issues trying to access the shared files | 04:32 |
| mnharris | So, it seems that in hardy, drives are referred to as "sda5", etc, instead of "hda5", but it also seems grub doesn't know that | 04:32 |
| MrPiracy | could anyone tell me how to have the right side bar just like in this pic http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/109/screenshothp3.png | 04:32 |
| ben__ | i just cant access them, i see the folder and all, but its as if my password is incorrect or something | 04:33 |
| mjw- | mnharris gutsy gibbon uses sdaX too | 04:33 |
| ben__ | which it isnt | 04:33 |
| mnharris | ah, right | 04:33 |
| mnharris | Which is why I don't understand why it is having problems booting this time | 04:33 |
| bro-man | Does anybody know of a video converter that will turn a .FLV clip into a .WMA clip ? | 04:34 |
| mjw- | mnharris were you the one saying firefox on the live CD was crashing? | 04:34 |
| mnharris | It is | 04:34 |
| mnharris | I was | 04:34 |
| mnharris | Its working now, as long as I look at static pages, I think | 04:34 |
| mjw- | mnharris might want to run the live cd's memory test for a while...firefox shouldn't be crashy on the live CD | 04:34 |
| ben__ | it just keeps requesting me for the password | 04:34 |
| bullgard4 | Tazbobu: In smb.conf there is a line: "; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0" or similar. You'll need to edit it. | 04:34 |
| jazzles | hi there | 04:34 |
| crazy_fire | need help, every linux install i have one trable... "make" trace error, and "make conf" too | 04:34 |
| ben__ | keeps the user id in memory, but keeps asking for the password | 04:34 |
| jazzles | is it possible to put ubuntu on an htc touch? | 04:34 |
| mnharris | I might do that | 04:35 |
| elknof1 | does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... | 04:35 |
| mnharris | I am just wondering if there is something set wrong in grub | 04:35 |
| Tazbobu | bullgard4: what about on the windows side? | 04:35 |
| mjw- | mnharris memory problems can manifest themselves in a vast number of ways | 04:35 |
| mnharris | Oh yes they can | 04:35 |
| MrAskHelp | I answer questions that end in "?"! I was written in C! :) | 04:35 |
| bullgard4 | Tazbobu: I do not understand what do xou mean by 'windows side'? | 04:35 |
| pocketdrummer | Does anyone know how to make a video background like you can with Dreamscene. In windows xp you can use VLC, can you do that in linux too? | 04:36 |
| mnharris | I wasn't having any problems until the latest reboot | 04:36 |
| mnharris | I haven't rebooted for 98 days, and in that time I upgraded to Hardy | 04:36 |
| bullgard4 | Tazbobu: I do not understand what do you mean by 'windows side'? | 04:36 |

| MrAskHelp | bullgard4: Windows SideShow is a new technology in Windows Vista that supports a secondary screen on your mobile PC. | 04:36 |
| mnharris | hmmm | 04:36 |
| bro-man | Does anybody know of a video converter that will turn a .FLV clip into a .WMA clip ? | 04:36 |
| mnharris | it is true, firefor seems to be having trouble keeping up\ | 04:36 |
| mnharris | although, that might be because this CD is slightly damaged | 04:36 |
| mjw- | mnharris dying power supplies can also create all sorts of problems. | 04:36 |
| MrAskHelp | Working... | 04:37 |
| mjw- | mnharris time for a fresh CD then... ;) | 04:37 |
| Tazbobu | bullgard4: i am networking between ubuntu and xp.. | 04:37 |
| MrAskHelp | emma: I was highly struck by something Dr David Sobel said in his great speech at the Ix Therapy conference last October | 04:37 |
| mnharris | Yes, but I won't be able to get one until Tuesday | 04:37 |
| gold44 | mjw-: thx | 04:37 |
| mjw- | gold44 did that work | 04:37 |
| mnharris | I am fairly certain its a grub problem | 04:37 |
| emma | MrAskHelp, Huh? | 04:37 |
| Tazbobu | bullgard4: do I need to modify anything on the xp side to make sure it only uses ethernet for LAN? | 04:37 |
| mnharris | I think something in grub wants to look for hda, instead of sda | 04:37 |

| mnharris | I am certainly getting an education | 04:38 |
| bullgard4 | Tazbobu: The change which I suggested will not influence your XP settings and working. | 04:38 |

| rkroetch | I had a problem with apt-get segfaulting for most commands. 'rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin' fixed it for me. | 04:41 |
| Tazbobu | bullgard4: so for example, the IP of the ubuntu ethernet interface is 192.168.123.1.. so would the proper setting be interfaces = 192.168.123.0/8 eth0 or? | 04:41 |
| emma | Any ideas what codecs are missing now? I used to put in libxine-extracodecs but they don't exist for Gutsy! | 04:41 |
| Sinister | is there a page that keeps you posted when a new version is comming out ? | 04:42 |

| oboy03 | kmg: Failed to execute child process "gnome-terminal" (No such file or directory) | 05:13 |

| macogw | to everyone that just got disconnected: i suggest connecting on port 8001 to avoid that happening in future. someone sent a DCC exploit and it cant disconnect you if youre not on port 6667 | 05:31 |
| Cpudan80 | See - that time nobody died | 05:31 |
| verynew | mjw, yea i have a gigabit ethernet card so maybe i will look into getting a gigabit hub to take advantage | 05:31 |
| kmg | tantric132: yes, type that into the terminal and press enter | 05:31 |
| mjw- | verynew gigabit switches = $30 | 05:31 |
| kmg | tantric132: it should give you a list of probably two or three things, is one of the 'Headset'? | 05:32 |

| elknof1 | does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... | 05:32 |
| tantric132 | kmg, Names of available sound cards: | 05:32 |
| tantric132 | CK804 | 05:32 |
| tantric132 | Headset | 05:32 |
| macogw | SPICLOVE: yeah but connecting on 8001 is easier | 05:32 |
| kmg | tantric132: ok do 'asoundconf set-default-card Headset' | 05:32 |
| kmg | tantric132: and press enter | 05:32 |
| SPICLOVE | you're not getting it | 05:32 |

| SPICLOVE | your solution is a joke | 05:32 |
| Djpenguin | I set some res settings on ubuntu Gutsy and it said I needed to reboot. After rebooting, it took me to the boot screen but after that, before the login, it went black, and everytime I reboot and do the same thing it goes black. What can I do? | 05:33 |
| tantric132 | kmg, after entering that, terminal shouldn't respound, correct? | 05:33 |
| verynew | mjw, thats true | 05:33 |
| kmg | tantric132: then do sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 05:33 |
| techqbert | any1 know why my pastebin doesn't work if I close the program that I initially copied from? | 05:33 |
| kmg | tantric132: i don't believe so | 05:33 |
| kmg | tantric132: now it will ask for your root password | 05:33 |
| kmg | tantric132: type in your root password not your user password | 05:33 |
| dragon | hmm i cant seem to get sound to work | 05:34 |
| tantric132 | kmg, i never made a root password? | 05:34 |
| kmg | tantric132: you set up a root password when you first install ubuntu | 05:34 |
| DoYouKnow | hmm | 05:34 |
| seanh | kmg: no you don't you setup a user password who has access to sudo | 05:34 |
| tantric132 | kmg, i just installed Ubuntu. there was one page during the installation that asked: Your name. Your Desired Username. Your desired password. Again. Computer name | 05:35 |
| alecwh | techqbert: the GNOME "clipboard" is no good, when a screen closes, it forgets the 'copy'. | 05:35 |
| tantric132 | kmg, that was all. | 05:35 |
| alecwh | techqbert: you can workaround the problem by simply installing a program called "glipper". sudo apt-get install glipper . | 05:35 |
| kmg | tantric132: ok then try putting in your user password =P | 05:35 |
| seanh | tantric132: run "sudo passwd" to set a root password | 05:35 |
| kmg | seanh: then i'm hella confused | 05:35 |
| techqbert | alecwh: think klipper will add that functionality. I know I could just right click and pick the text up again? | 05:35 |
| techqbert | alecwh: ok glipper. gnome equivalent. great. | 05:35 |
| alecwh | techqbert: that will put something in the tray that will remember copies for awhile before forgetting them. | 05:35 |
| alecwh | techqbert: yes. | 05:36 |
| seanh | kmg: sudo uses `your` password to authenticate you, not the root password | 05:36 |
| elknof1 | does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... | 05:36 |

| DoYouKnow | I started up torcs, and dragged out the window, then made it smaller below the default window size, and xgl died on me | 05:36 |
| seanh | kmg: `su` would need a rood password | 05:36 |
| macogw | SPICLOVE: well im not about to explain to everybody how to upgrade the firmware in a myriad of different routers. the dcc exploits only work if youre on port 6667 | 05:36 |
| tantric132 | seanh, when I type in sudo passwd, it does the same thing...asking for a password | 05:36 |
| kmg | seanh k i get it, so root starts out with no password but is accessible via sudo by the defined user | 05:36 |
| kmg | tantric132: put in your user password | 05:37 |
| seanh | tantric132: putin your users password | 05:37 |
| alecwh | seanh: no... 'sudo' is the administrator of the system, right? | 05:37 |
| seanh | kmg: yeah | 05:37 |
| kmg | kk | 05:37 |
| tantric132 | kmg, when I type, nothing comes up. if I press Enter, a line break will happen and I will have 2 secs to type in my password. wtf? | 05:37 |
| === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic | ||
| kmg | tantric132: yeah it doesn't show your password when you type it | 05:37 |
| seanh | alecwh: no sudo sets your user up to execute the command as a superuser (root) | 05:38 |
| tantric132 | kmg, so type it and press enter? | 05:38 |
| kmg | tantric132: if it did everybody would be able to see it if looking at your screen, it never display your password | 05:38 |
| kmg | tantric132: yes | 05:38 |
| seanh | alecwh: "root" is the "admin" | 05:38 |
| maxwell333 | I messed up. I did this command in shell "sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24" How can I reverse this? | 05:38 |
| alecwh | seanh: yes. You said it was "your password" which can be true but not always (if there are multiple people on the same computer). | 05:38 |
| kmg | alecwh: sudo is just a way of accessing the root user | 05:38 |
| Flannel | alecwh: sudo always *is* your password, which is not the root password. | 05:39 |
| tantric132 | kmg, i feel like an idiot =P ok so what command were you saying to type? | 05:39 |
| seanh | alecwh: that's not how sudo works | 05:39 |
| kmg | tantric132: asoundconf set-default-card Headset | 05:39 |
| seanh | alecwh: sudo always uses `your` password to authenticate the command | 05:39 |
| alecwh | seanh: oh, ok. | 05:39 |
| alecwh | seanh: thanks for clearning that up. | 05:40 |
| seanh | alecwh: you would setup who gets access to sudo in the sudoers file | 05:40 |
| dragon | still trying to find out how to get my sound working | 05:40 |
| kmg | tantric132: actually that will fail out, do 'sudo asoundconf set-default-card Headset' | 05:40 |
| kmg | tantric132: gotta be root ;) | 05:40 |
| tantric132 | kmg, Please note that you are attempting to run asoundconf as a privileged superuser, which may have unintended consequences. | 05:40 |
| seanh | alecwh: it's not meant as another layer of "security" persay (not logging in as the root user is the security..) more of a "hey you! are you sure you want to do this? | 05:40 |
| yrlnry | "per se" | 05:41 |
| tantric132 | kind of like vista's shitty UAC! | 05:41 |
| kmg | tantric132: dammit i'm confused, ok take out the sudo, that's for the next command =P | 05:41 |
| alecwh | seanh: ok. | 05:41 |

| veryne1 | can anyone tell me how to make my extra internal hard drive automatically mount when i log in? | 05:42 |
| tantric132 | kmg, Usage: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils {start [CARD]|stop [CARD]|restart [CARD]|reset [CARD]} | 05:42 |
| seanh | yrlnry: you'd think that since i too latin in school i'd remember that ;) | 05:42 |
| kmg | tantric132: 'sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart' | 05:42 |
| scooby2 | anyone familiar with getting nm-applet (network manager) to display? Just installed gutsy on my laptop and I cannot get it to show up even though ps -ax shows it is running. | 05:43 |
| tantric132 | kmg, * Shutting down ALSA... [ OK ] | 05:43 |

| veryne1 | seanh: can you help me do that? | 05:44 |
| MasterShrek | !fstab | 05:44 |
| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:44 |
| kmg | veryne1: check out 'man fstab' | 05:44 |
| seanh | veryne1: something like /dev/device /media/mountpoint auto rw,user,exec 0 0 | 05:45 |
| shr1k3 | veryne1 : try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions | 05:45 |
| tantric132 | kmg, nothing =[ | 05:45 |
| veryne1 | shr1k3: thanks | 05:45 |
| seanh | veryne1: maybe add auto in there at the end after exec as well depending on how you want it to work | 05:45 |
| kmg | tantric132: ok from the command line type 'alsamixer' | 05:45 |
| kmg | tantric132: also, what brand is your headset? | 05:46 |
| tantric132 | kmg, it looks much different =D | 05:46 |
| tantric132 | kmg, Logitech | 05:46 |
| veryne1 | seanh: thanks | 05:46 |
| kmg | ok at the top of the mixer does it say Logitech anywhere? or anything about the headset? or does it have the name of your other sound card? | 05:46 |
| tantric132 | kmg, it says Card: Logitech USB Headset | 05:47 |

| xTheGoat121x | Hi all. | 05:47 |

| masingerz | hello | 05:48 |
| masingerz | any of you guys good with grub | 05:48 |
| tantric132 | kmg, done. | 05:48 |
| macogw | masingerz: what about grub? | 05:48 |
| macogw | masingerz: didnt need to part #ubuntuforums so fast :P | 05:48 |
| masingerz | ok i have 2 sata hdds | 05:48 |
| masingerz | cuz im in irssi | 05:49 |
| tantric132 | is ATA or SATA new technology? | 05:49 |
| kmg | tantric132: ok now from terminal do 'cat ~/.asoundrc' | 05:49 |
| masingerz | theyre sata i donno | 05:49 |
| kmg | tantric132: does anything appear or is it blank? | 05:49 |
| masingerz | so in 1 hdd i have gutsy | 05:49 |
| shr1k3 | emma: have you tried playing with vlc? | 05:49 |
| don_andre1 | SATA | 05:49 |
| masingerz | in the other i have windoze 2003 | 05:49 |
| macogw | masingerz: so? you can just /join another channel | 05:49 |
| jetscreamer | it's all just scsi to me | 05:49 |
| macogw | masingerz: im in irssi too | 05:49 |
| jetscreamer | get out of there! | 05:50 |
| don_andre1 | scsi is old | 05:50 |
| jetscreamer | you're too big! | 05:50 |
| EADG | emma: in aterminal type mplayer http://mmslb.eonstreams.com/ktrsam.asf | 05:50 |
| tantric132 | kmg, # ALSA library configuration file | 05:50 |
| masingerz | yeah but i can only see 1 chan at a time | 05:50 |
| tantric132 | # Include settings that are under the control of asoundconf(1). | 05:50 |
| tantric132 | # (To disable these settings, comment out this line.) | 05:50 |
| tantric132 | </home/tantric132/.asoundrc.asoundconf> | 05:50 |
| kmg | tantric132: that's basically the configuration file for alsa, your sound manager. the mixer you were just in is the alsa mixer. | 05:50 |
| jetscreamer | /window split | 05:50 |
| jetscreamer | iirc | 05:50 |
| macogw | masingerz: you hit alt and click a number to switch between them | 05:50 |
| masingerz | k so i have 1 hdd with ubuntu and another hdd with 2003 and i need grub to show the windoze one also | 05:50 |
| jetscreamer | ata is a subset of scsi i think | 05:50 |
| tantric132 | kmg, do you think it could be the firefox plugin? I think youtube runs off of the adobe flash plugin | 05:51 |
| macogw | masingerz: see that part that says [Act:] that shows what numbers have people talking. if someone says your name, the number will light up purple so you know they responded to you | 05:51 |
| jetscreamer | like sgml and xml and html and ... | 05:51 |
| kmg | tantric132: ugh | 05:51 |
| tantric132 | kmg, i have video feedback just not sound | 05:51 |
| kmg | tantric132: well if you have the video you should be getting the sound | 05:51 |
| macogw | masingerz: it shouldve listed it by default i think.... look up grub chainloading | 05:51 |
| emma | looks like mplayer is not installed | 05:51 |
| masingerz | oh act 1 | 05:51 |
| masingerz | grub chainloading | 05:51 |
| macogw | masingerz: i dont have windows so i cant look up the syntax for it | 05:51 |
| macogw | masingerz: yeah chainloading means it hands off control of the boot sequence to windows's bootloader if you select windows | 05:52 |
| tantric132 | kmg, that is true. on a different note, why am I getting a playback error when I try to play songs off of my ipod. they are in mp3 form. let me copy the error | 05:52 |
| tantric132 | kmg, Playback Error: You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins. | 05:52 |
| masingerz | thnx macogw ill look that up | 05:53 |
| tantric132 | holy shit | 05:53 |
| scooby2 | no one knows anything about networkmanager? | 05:53 |

| CrazyPhil_ | kmg, I'm not sure, I automount it at start | 05:56 |

| kmg | tantric132: '? | 06:07 |
| elknof1 | does anyone knows if rtl8185L is working out of the box? the thing is that it appears in the list of compatibility but ain't working for me... | 06:07 |

| DoYouKnow | elknof1, are the lights going on? | 06:08 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: yeap | 06:09 |
| kmg | tantric132: do 'sudo cat ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf' and paste it to a pastebin, not into this channel (it will be long) | 06:09 |
| nickrud | emma: I get audio from that page | 06:09 |
| tantric132 | kmg, its alot of shit. ALOT | 06:09 |
| DoYouKnow | elkbuntu, do you have a server that you can get an IP address from on the network or have you entered an address manually? | 06:10 |
| kmg | tantric132: yeah, don't paste it here | 06:10 |
| emma | nickrud - you have gutsy? | 06:10 |
| kmg | !pastebin | 06:10 |
| emma | nuckrud -- what do you have installed that I don't? | 06:10 |

| kmg | tantric132: paste it here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 06:10 |
| DoYouKnow | elkbuntu, what I am wondering is, if the driver is having a problem, it's a problem with your cable, or a problem with the network | 06:10 |
| nickrud | emma: with the w64codecs | 06:11 |
| emma | When you install mplayer does that automaticlly install the mplayer plugin? | 06:11 |
| DoYouKnow | elkbuntu, I am thinking it's one of those things | 06:11 |
| emma | Oh I have w32codecs.. | 06:11 |
| nickrud | emma: no, you have to install mozilla-mplayer , and remove totem-mozilla | 06:11 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: haha... i thought u were talkin to the other guy... | 06:11 |
| nickrud | emma: that's the right set | 06:11 |
| DoYouKnow | oh sorry | 06:11 |
| DoYouKnow | heh | 06:11 |

| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: its a wireless card, in a pci slot, is a desktop, no cables... | 06:12 |
| tantric132 | kmg, what is the syntax? | 06:12 |
| kmg | amdprophet: those protests were a lot more impressive than I expected them to be | 06:12 |
| amdprophet | :D | 06:12 |
| emma | it's weird because Feisty never had any problems. | 06:12 |
| kmg | tantric132: of what? | 06:12 |
| egc | pocketdrummer: i have that occasionally as well, but i've never looked into it | 06:12 |
| amdprophet | how are my fellow linux users doing? | 06:12 |
| egc | i just ignore it | 06:12 |
| DoYouKnow | elkbuntu, can you see other wireless networks? | 06:12 |

| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: nope, none, not even i have the router at about 50 in from the desktop... | 06:13 |
| kmg | tantric132: oh don't worry about that | 06:13 |
| PoGz | can someone pls help me? | 06:13 |
| pocketdrummer | Could it be the motherboard? | 06:13 |
| kmg | tantric132: i need the link to your paste specifically | 06:13 |
| nickrud | emma: oh, did you install totem-xine? you also need libxine1-ffmpeg | 06:13 |
| jumbers | I made the jump and bought a Dell notebook with Ubuntu pre-installed :) | 06:13 |
| tantric132 | kmg, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55572/ | 06:13 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: the card is detected, the leds are on, but its just not working... | 06:14 |
| pocketdrummer | jumbers: We salute you! | 06:14 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: im wondering if its cause i need to conf something by hand... | 06:14 |
| emma | yes I installed totem-xine. That's what I did. | 06:14 |
| jumbers | pocketdrummer: I've been using Ubuntu on my IBM Thinkpad, but it's gotten so slow. :( I can't even use Compiz. I had to go in and manually disable it | 06:14 |
| pocketdrummer | DoYouKnow: the muffin man? (Sorry, couldn't resist) | 06:14 |
| dogpigeoncow | hi. My friend here just installed 7zip with the add/remove but it doesnt seem to be installed anywhere. wat do i do?? | 06:14 |
| nickrud | emma get the ffmpeg package I mentioned above, it's essentially the extracodecs replacement | 06:15 |
| jumbers | pocketdrummer: Even with "All effects off", it still slowed the machine down to a crawl, so I had to go and remove it | 06:15 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, ok. try this. open up a terminal prompt and type: ifconfig <interface> down && ifconfig <interface> up && iwconfig <interface> essid <your_aps_ssid> | 06:15 |
| pocketdrummer | jumbers: Well, that's not good. How's the new machine treating you? | 06:15 |
| elknof1 | emma: why dont u just install the ubuntu restricted package... in apps>add and remove show all > ubuntu restricted | 06:16 |
| Mauser | totem-xine better than totem-gstreamer ? | 06:16 |
| emma | I did install the ubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:16 |
| tspier2 | Hi. I was upgrading my version of Ubuntu, and I keep getting errors about unmet dependencies. I tried apt-get -f install, and I tried installing the dependencies by hand, but to no avail. Any advice? | 06:16 |
| kmg | tantric132: this all seems to be in order! | 06:16 |
| dogpigeoncow | hi. My friend here just installed 7zip with the add/remove but it doesnt seem to be installed anywhere. wat do i do?? | 06:16 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, this will go around network manager | 06:16 |
| nickrud | dogpigeoncow: the p7zip in ubuntu is a command line program, not a gui | 06:16 |
| elknof1 | !paste | 06:16 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 06:16 |
| nickrud | Mauser: in some ways, in the future hopefully not | 06:17 |
| Mauser | ty | 06:17 |
| jumbers | pocketdrummer: I don't know yet, I only placed the order a couple of hours ago :D | 06:17 |
| astro76 | dogpigeoncow: it's command line but once you install it the built in archive manager (file-roller) will handle 7zip | 06:17 |
| astro76 | dogpigeoncow: or so I'm told | 06:17 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, and will allow you to see if the problem is part of the core wireless APIs | 06:17 |
| Mauser | i couldn't get totem-gstreamer to work, except the audio channel | 06:17 |
| tantric132 | kmg, just PM me on the forums if you think of anuything. im about to fall asleep. forum name is tantric132. | 06:17 |
| Mauser | then installed vlc | 06:18 |
| Blaergh | Is this where I can get Ubuntu installation help? | 06:18 |
| kmg | tantric132: ok yeah i need to go get some food anyway | 06:18 |
| dogpigeoncow | nickrud: so how do i use it then? because we downloaded a torrent today and hte file extension is .7z | 06:18 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: i just cant take down eth0 cause im working with it... but ill send you the retro with ifconfig and iwconfig | 06:18 |
| dogpigeoncow | so wat do i do then? | 06:18 |
| nickrud | dogpigeoncow: I'm installing it now, to test astro76's theory ;) | 06:18 |
| dogpigeoncow | or wats a better uncompressor to use | 06:18 |
| dogpigeoncow | ok sure :P | 06:18 |
| tantric132 | kmg, thanks for the help! | 06:18 |
| tantric132 | goodnight everyone! | 06:18 |
| Mauser | gn | 06:18 |
| kmg | tantric132: i swear you chose the worst possible thing to try with ubuntu, configuring a usb headset | 06:18 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, I mean the wireless interface | 06:18 |
| kmg | tantric132: just be glad you're not trying to use it with a wine app | 06:19 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, try this on the wireless interface | 06:19 |
| kmg | tantric132: later | 06:19 |
| nickrud | dogpigeoncow: right click the file, you should be able to open it in the archive manager | 06:19 |
| egc | my usb headset worked | 06:19 |
| Blaergh | Alright, I just have a quick question. I have 2 hard drives and Windows XP, and would like to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows. (I already have the LiveCD) - anyway, when it asks me to install, it asks me if I would like to partition my slave drive (the drive i want to install it on). will partitioning my slave drive delete all the files I already have on it? | 06:19 |
| tantric132 | kmg, heh...oops! | 06:19 |
| nickrud | dogpigeoncow: astro76 was right | 06:19 |
| kmg | egc: yeah but what did you have to do to configure it? =P | 06:19 |
| emma | who was it that told me about libxine-ffmep ? | 06:19 |
| nickrud | emma: me, libxine1-ffmpeg | 06:19 |
| DoYouKnow | so if your wireless interface is eth1, type: ifconfig eth1 down && ifconfig eth1 up && iwconfig eth1 essid <your_aps_ssid> | 06:20 |
| egc | kmg: don't remember now, that was like a while two months ago :P | 06:20 |
| vincenz | How do I set the time/ | 06:20 |
| emma | nickrud - You. Are. A. Genius. | 06:20 |
| egc | hehe | 06:20 |
| * nickrud blushes | 06:20 | |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: yeah, i've already tryied that... | 06:20 |
| kmg | egc: i've always had to go at it from command line at least just to get firefox to play through it | 06:20 |
| egc | yeah i had it going for skype | 06:20 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55573/ | 06:20 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, ok, have you tried looking up your card in launchpad? | 06:21 |
| emma | nickrud -- I have no idea how you could know something so esoteric but that was just what it required! I just restarted the computer after I installed that. And now I can listen to it in Firefox! | 06:21 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: no clue.. what is launchpad? | 06:21 |
| kmg | egc: the sound manager just seems to only have effect on really integrated gnome apps like mplayer and such | 06:21 |
| thinman1189 | I installed privoxy but it doesn't show anywhere. anyone know how to start it? | 06:21 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, it's ubuntu's bug tracking system | 06:21 |
| nickrud | emma: I learned from someone else. | 06:22 |
| egc | im getting defeated by totem-gstreamer right now though | 06:22 |
| pocketdrummer | Jack_Sparrow: Is there a list of those ! commands you use? | 06:22 |
| Mauser | Blaergh: i used the windows admin tools to create free space on my drive then followed the install through its process, and now i dual boot | 06:22 |
| achandrashekar | any ltsp experts present? - specifically with multiserver setup? | 06:22 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, are you using WPA or WEP? | 06:22 |
| DoYouKnow | or you're not even getting that far | 06:23 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, (or none at all?) | 06:23 |
| xTheGoat121x | I've been considering changing my wireless network's protection from WEP to WPA... does Feisty support WPA? | 06:23 |
| aoisora | Excuse Me!! I Use Ubuntu7.10 , And I Use Weberp Php Program . But Weberp's Language File Is .po , I Can't Change Language . I Am Not Sure That I Don't Install Some Packages . Please Tell Me Thank You !! (PS:Apache2.2.4 Php5.2.3 Mysql5.0.45) | 06:23 |
| kmg | huh? | 06:24 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: none | 06:24 |
| Blaergh | when it asks to partition my hard drive on the Ubuntu install screen, does that mean it will delete all the information on my hard drive? or will all my data be safe? | 06:24 |
| visualdensity | /quit | 06:24 |
| bossmanbeta | I dont use wep or wpa... I SSH -D (dynamic proxy) from my wireless to a local wired-box on my lan .... much better than wep or wpa | 06:25 |
| emma | nickrud but how can a person know what all those lib-type files mean or do or how they change names or when they are called for? | 06:25 |
| Blaergh | oops, sorry mauser, missed your info. thanks | 06:25 |
| Mauser | Blaergh: install to the free space on you hd | 06:25 |
| Blaergh | alright, wish me luck. happy linuxing >.> | 06:25 |
| preaction__ | how do i find what /dev/* node my USB mass storage is? lsusb just says "Maxtor" and /dev/sd* gives me only the two hard drives I had before | 06:25 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, ok. try "dmesg | grep radio" in a terminal | 06:25 |
| TehLulze | Does anyone know if there is an IRC that helps people with python? | 06:25 |
| astro76 | TehLulze: #python | 06:26 |
| DoYouKnow | elknof1, check if it tells you radio on or radio off | 06:26 |
| Mauser | else goto ubuntuforums.org | 06:26 |
| nickrud | emma: some of it's a matter of experience, and using the right tools. For example , to be sure I got the lib name right I did apt-cache depends xine-ui (the standard xine frontend) which recommended the library. | 06:26 |
| TehLulze | astro76 thanks | 06:26 |
| nickrud | emma: and a _lot_ of google | 06:26 |
| emma | I see. apt-cache depends.. | 06:26 |
| emma | i've never heard of that command. That tells you all the dependencies of xine-ui ? | 06:27 |
| nickrud | yes | 06:27 |
| emma | that's a good one! | 06:27 |
| elknof1 | DoYouKnow: i did this sudo iwconfig wlan0 power on but next time i iwconfig it appears off | 06:27 |
| nickrud | emma: it tells you the top level depends. Each of those packages that get listed have their own depends, and so on | 06:27 |
| emma | The libfiles seem very esoteric to me. I don't really know what they do or when they are called for. They are like mysteries. | 06:27 |
| emma | I wonder if you have a big hard drive if you are just supposed to download every single libfile you see, just in case, until whatever you want works. | 06:28 |
| jerrym | i have an old version 5.xx how do i update ubuntu? | 06:28 |
| aoisora | Can someone help me about me problem thank you !! | 06:28 |
| nickrud | emma: about 95% of the time you don't ever need to know about the libs. It's the complications created by media licensing and patents that causes people to know that one | 06:29 |
| emma | I see | 06:29 |
| DoYouNo | elknof1, type "dmesg" and check if you see anything on whether your radio is turned on or off | 06:29 |
| DoYouNo | in a terminal | 06:29 |
| emma | So perhaps, with most software, the makefile will include the libs | 06:29 |
| chowner | my grub is all black! | 06:30 |
| nickrud | emma: no, the makefile will call those libs. If you get into compiling, you'll need to know about libs 100% of the time ;) | 06:30 |
| kmg | emma: they just each provide different functionality, different apps require different functionality, applications are kind of built on top of lib dependencies that provide base functionality | 06:30 |
| chowner | I need help with getting the right menu.lst , its not happening for me | 06:30 |
| Dimitree | How can i make PHP work ? I have installed LAMP from Synaptic and i have put phpbb3 files in www but when i go to localhost the browser trys to download the page instead of opening it ? i checked in services it says database is running and apache is running ? any idea ? | 06:30 |
| kritzstapf | nickrud: or you use a packaged build system like portage :) | 06:30 |
| Mauser | #ubuntuforums | 06:31 |
| Mauser | ? | 06:31 |
| nickrud | kritzstapf: or apt-get build-dep ;P | 06:31 |
| chowner | grubs insta | 06:31 |
| kritzstapf | nickrud: right ;) | 06:31 |

| speeddemon8803 | lol...whoops | 06:31 |

| elknof1 | i have no clue what is all that haha... ive been here for about a week | 06:33 |
| chowner | I got my grub menu looking fine, but when it boots kernel on secondary drive, it brand new install | 06:33 |
| DoYouNo | elknof1, it's getting late... if I see you on tomorrow I'll help you w/ it. But I would check at what stage the wireless driver is functioning at. 1) check if the driver is fully loaded and the radio is on 2) check what network manager thinks of the situation, and higher level ubuntu-specific stuff I'm not yet familiar with. Also, there is a network troubleshooting guide on the wiki. otherwise, ask someone else here | 06:33 |
| thinman1189 | if I'm running privoxy how do I find out what my ip is? | 06:34 |
| chowner | alls I get is black screen and Please wait on one of the tty's | 06:34 |
| emma | would it be so difficult to make one monster-lib that just fills up ubuntu with all the libs you'll ever need? | 06:34 |
| elknof1 | doyouno, thanks dude | 06:34 |
| DoYouNo | elknof1, "WW:This driver has EXPERIMENTAL support for this chipset." | 06:35 |
| DoYouNo | note that | 06:35 |
| emma | or there could be like a lib-repository where any program that needs a lib can look and download it. | 06:35 |
| chowner | emma : you got a monolithic kernel, now you want a monolithic library? lol... | 06:35 |
| DoYouNo | also note that there are a bunch of repeating messages in your dmesg log and finally a "link not ready" error | 06:35 |
| DoYouNo | gnite | 06:35 |
| chowner | or theres a program that downloads what you need | 06:35 |
| eden_ | alone? | 06:36 |
| chowner | eh | 06:37 |
| vincenz | How do I change the timezone? | 06:39 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about privoxy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:43 |

| simplechat | how do i find what kernal modules are currently loaded? (to know if i'm vulnerable?) | 06:57 |
| simplechat | its an exploit in vmsplice, apparently | 06:58 |
| preaction__ | simplechat, uname -a | 06:58 |

| preaction__ | simplechat, mine says: Linux ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic, ... | 06:59 |
| simplechat | preaction__, so i don't have any kernal modules? (not even the ones tc installes, or the ones installed by vmware, etc.) | 06:59 |
| simplechat | yeah | 06:59 |
| simplechat | thats the kernal version | 06:59 |
| abdulla | simplechat, whwat is that and link please | 06:59 |
| vincenz | Cpudan80: found it | 06:59 |
| preaction__ | simplechat, then lsmod for the modules | 06:59 |
| simplechat | 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP | 06:59 |
| MrPiracy | anyone knows if there's a problem with tuxfamily.org right now? i cant do apt-get update from it, but i can ping with no problems | 06:59 |
| Cpudan80 | vincenz: That's what the right clicking bit does.... dont know what else to tell you | 06:59 |
| prakriti | is there a way with apt-get or aptitude to "downgrade" a package? | 07:00 |
| simplechat | ok, ubuntu isn't vulnerable | 07:00 |
| simplechat | abdulla, sudo apt-get install wallpapertray iirc | 07:00 |
| preaction__ | any idea why my USB drive doesn't get a /dev/hd or /dev/sd node assigned to it? | 07:00 |
| bazhang | !info wallpapertray | 07:01 |
| ubotu | Package wallpapertray does not exist in gutsy | 07:01 |
| bazhang | !find wallpaper | 07:01 |
| ubotu | Found: gutsy-wallpapers, kdewallpapers, blubuntu-wallpapers, edgy-community-wallpapers, edgy-wallpapers (and 8 others) | 07:01 |
| speeddemon8803 | !find flight | 07:02 |
| ubotu | Found: flight-of-the-amazon-queen, flightgear | 07:02 |
| Nehal | is there a tool to adjust the horizontal/vertical position of my X11 screen, without using xvidtune and editing the configuration files manually? | 07:02 |
| urak | Hey guys, Im new to Linux and I have just install gutsy on my vaio laptop but the memory stick reader is always on | 07:02 |
| speeddemon8803 | Elaborate urak | 07:03 |
| abdulla | guys can we make an XFCE look like GNOME? and be used similar to GNome ? or is their a difrence because i dunno if its customizable easily l ike gnome is | 07:03 |
| ianm_ | what's the consensus these days, ATI or nVidia if Intel's offerings aren't fast enough? | 07:04 |
| speeddemon8803 | abdulla, right click a bar, click add new item, add all the items you want, xfce can be configured just by doing that to look exactly like gnome. | 07:04 |
| urak | overall the desktop is nice but my problem is that the memory stick is always on even though I did not insert anything on it | 07:04 |
| Dimitree | What is the best Linux for a web server ? does ubuntu have a web server distribution or something like that ? :) | 07:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | !server | 07:05 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server-specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerFaq/ - The #ubuntu-server channel provides specific support | 07:05 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-server | 07:05 |
| Dimitree | thank you :) | 07:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | Bazhang, they were just asking if we had a server distro..not what room it was :) | 07:05 |
| bazhang | hehe | 07:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | close enough though! | 07:06 |
| speeddemon8803 | :) | 07:06 |
| abdulla | simplechat, is drapes better then wp changer? | 07:06 |
| abdulla | i am considering of installing XFC now :D | 07:07 |
| speeddemon8803 | You should...its a lot lighter on your hardware than gnome | 07:07 |
| speeddemon8803 | if you have a older computer...it will work REALLY well..heck even a new pc works awesome | 07:08 |
| abdulla | im using a p4 2 ghz laptop 512ram 32mb nividia | 07:08 |
| abdulla | but gnome lags sometimes :S | 07:08 |
| ^futuro | Hi to all | 07:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | you should just do the alternative installer of ubuntu | 07:09 |
| abdulla | i just hope its easy to do things like in gnome its easy to install themes and use it | 07:09 |
| abdulla | what do you mean speeddemon8803 ? | 07:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | !alternative | 07:09 |
| ubotu | 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 | 07:09 |
| ^futuro | vista block hdd??? | 07:09 |
| ianm_ | abdulla: lags how? | 07:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | !minimal | 07:09 |
| ubotu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 07:09 |
| bazhang | ^futuro: ##windows is for vista ;] | 07:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | i install the alternative cd on every pc i have...just so theres no fuss from them. | 07:10 |
| speeddemon8803 | it works great. | 07:10 |
| abdulla | it lags as when i start 8 things in same time it takes time to open about 11 seconds to have them all opened then | 07:10 |
| === slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic | ||
| speeddemon8803 | but..its text-mode...meaning no graphical user interface | 07:10 |
| abdulla | ianm_, but if i open 1 app at a time it takes less then 2seconds however im a person who hate lag ;) | 07:11 |
| speeddemon8803 | Abdulla...i highly suggest the alternative cd for you :) | 07:11 |
| abdulla | alternative what do yo u mean speed/ | 07:11 |
| abdulla | i saw that their is alternative download but i didnt know what that means speeddemon8803 | 07:12 |
| speeddemon8803 | its for pc's with less than adequate RAM for the live cd | 07:12 |
| abdulla | im on laptop not pc speeddemon8803 and whats the minimal adequate ram then? | 07:12 |

| mafrac | anybody knows about bind configuration? | 07:21 |
| bazhang | Benalex: try print to pdf in open office | 07:22 |
| mafrac | i.e.: the domain some.com has ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com as dns, but in this dns is't there a zone created for some.com. I would like to point some.com to a default ip to park it. | 07:22 |
| Benalex | bazhang: thank.. trying it now | 07:23 |
| bazhang | np | 07:23 |
| ali | Hello | 07:23 |
| ali | I have Intel Core2 Duo | 07:24 |
| bazhang | ask away ali | 07:24 |
| ali | and installed Ubuntu i386 before a while | 07:24 |
| crolle17 | searching for a file (with "test" in its name) in a specific folder i have to do this, right? locate -d /home/crolle *test* | 07:24 |
| ali | should I switch to the 64bit version? | 07:25 |
| bazhang | ali the benefits are minimal at this point unless you do video compositing or have 4GB or ram or more | 07:25 |
| bazhang | ali plus you need to completely reinstall ;] | 07:26 |
| mahmoud2 | ali: No, not unless you have a reason to move to 64bit. | 07:26 |
| _Oz_ | man | 07:26 |
| ali | bzagang: so if I want to switch to 64bit, I must reinstall the whole system? | 07:27 |
| _Oz_ | I am still confused by ubuntu's filesystem | 07:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | yes ali | 07:27 |
| bazhang | yes ali | 07:27 |
| _Oz_ | which says everything about how stupid I am | 07:27 |
| _Oz_ | WHERE do applications install?? | 07:27 |
| _Oz_ | what is the equivalent of C:/Program Files ?? | 07:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | /sbin | 07:27 |
| bazhang | !filesystem | 07:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about filesystem - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:27 |
| ali | ok, thanks | 07:27 |
| bazhang | np | 07:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | sbin is the program files equivalent for ubuntu | 07:28 |
| _Oz_ | speeddemon: /sbin does not appear on the fulesystem hierarchy standard | 07:28 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_ : do not take it like that there is an exact equivalent of the stuff in Windows | 07:28 |
| speeddemon8803 | i believe | 07:28 |
| mahmoud2 | speeddemon8803: sbin is not the program files equivalent | 07:28 |
| _Oz_ | mahmoud2: right on, I agree, I just wanted some kind of comparison | 07:28 |
| speeddemon8803 | or is it bin | 07:28 |
| _Oz_ | I just don't know where the hell anything is floating around in here | 07:28 |
| speeddemon8803 | heck i dont know either...thought i did...ill shut up now | 07:28 |
| crolle17 | _Oz_, in most cases it's the /usr-folder | 07:28 |
| * speeddemon8803 is sorry for confusion | 07:29 | |
| ^futuro | I cant find on google | 07:29 |
| _Oz_ | where in the /usr folder? | 07:29 |
| bazhang | find what ^futuro | 07:30 |
| speeddemon8803 | go to / | 07:30 |
| ^futuro | how to install ubuntu on fujitsu siemens on amilo li 1705 | 07:30 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_ : there is an exact program files equivalent .. In most Linux distributions .. libraries , help documents and binaries are saved separately | 07:30 |
| speeddemon8803 | then go to the usr folder | 07:30 |
| gejr | _Oz_: in linux often programs install like this: /usr/bin <- executables /etc/ <- configuration files /home/<user>/.<somefile> <- personal configurations | 07:30 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_ : there is not* | 07:30 |
| node | There is a patch for this bug on lkml.org already. For the 2.6.24 and I believe 2.6.22 | 07:30 |
| crolle17 | _Oz_, hard to say. sometimes /usr/lib or /usr/share. depends on the app | 07:30 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_: Are you trying to locate something? | 07:30 |
| node | Very simple patch. | 07:30 |
| mahmoud2 | !locate | _Oz_ | 07:30 |
| ubotu | _Oz_: locate is a command-line file search utility. To make sure its cache is up to date run: sudo updatedb | 07:30 |
| bazhang | ^futuro: you tried the livecd? | 07:30 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview is a good page to see where ubuntu puts things | 07:31 |
| speeddemon8803 | bastid | 07:31 |
| outsiders | !locate | 07:31 |
| speeddemon8803 | i love you! | 07:31 |
| gejr | _Oz_: bigger suites (like openoffice) might go in /opt | 07:31 |
| outsiders | !locate usr | 07:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about locate usr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:31 |
| speeddemon8803 | i have been trying to find that..for..a LONG time | 07:31 |
| _Oz_ | thanks, gejr, that was the best explanation I've heard yet | 07:31 |
| _Oz_ | so they go all over the place? | 07:31 |
| Dimitree | Will i be asked to configure LAN setting during Ubuntu Server installation ? if not what is the command to configure lan from terminal ? | 07:31 |
| crolle17 | _Oz_, in /usr/share are things which are needed in more that 1 app. like drivers | 07:31 |
| bastid_raZor | speeddemon8803; i bookmark tons of useful *nix pages | 07:31 |
| _Oz_ | why doesn't that bother anyone that the files are spread out all over the system and it's different for each app? | 07:31 |
| crolle17 | searching for a file (with "test" in its name) in a specific folder i have to do this, right? locate -d /home/crolle *test* | 07:32 |
| speeddemon8803 | because we dont care where they are as long as they work ;) | 07:32 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: because its not ##windows ;] | 07:32 |
| gejr | _Oz_: because the package manager keeps them arranged ;) you can easily see where the programs were installed. | 07:32 |
| ^futuro | yes i have try | 07:32 |
| ^futuro | but live cd don't start | 07:32 |
| speeddemon8803 | 3 answers to the same question..and all correct :P | 07:32 |
| bazhang | ^futuro: and got what errors | 07:32 |
| _Oz_ | I was trying to figure out where azureus installed so I could tell firefox where to find it | 07:33 |
| ^futuro | screen is black | 07:33 |
| _Oz_ | and I COULD NOT find it | 07:33 |
| _Oz_ | it was a frustrating experience | 07:33 |
| crolle17 | _Oz_, use locate or find | 07:33 |
| gejr | _Oz_: and i'm pretty sure it's /usr/bin/azureus ? | 07:33 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_: use the locate command | 07:33 |
| _Oz_ | just type locate azureus? | 07:33 |
| ^futuro | when i write live install | 07:33 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; normally ~/.azureus is a good place to look | 07:33 |
| _Oz_ | I looked there, bastid | 07:33 |
| bazhang | ^futuro: you might try the alternate cd as well--what video card in that computer and how much ram | 07:33 |
| _Oz_ | but there appeared to be no, uh... "program file" | 07:33 |
| ^futuro | google must help me | 07:33 |
| ^futuro | bye | 07:33 |
| gejr | ~/.azureus is a good place to search for configuration files. | 07:33 |
| _Oz_ | I should have pointed it to a .conf? | 07:33 |
| crolle17 | _Oz_, yeah configuration-files often are in home-dir | 07:34 |
| _Oz_ | I was looking for something along the lines of "azureus.exe" | 07:34 |
| hydoske1 | what's the way to extract an rpm archive? | 07:34 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_: no, to the binary | 07:34 |
| _Oz_ | so how do I find the actual binary | 07:34 |
| bazhang | hydoske1: look for the deb alternative first | 07:34 |
| crolle17 | _Oz_, especially these whom are user-dependent | 07:34 |
| mahmoud2 | _Oz_: Linux executable files are not .exe .. | 07:34 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; binary file is what you are referring to. and if you installed via a package manager apt-get, aptitude or synaptic it would be in /usr/bin or if you installed it manually then /usr/local/bin | 07:34 |
| hydoske1 | bazhang -out of the question, the deb package is missing what I need, it's a known bug | 07:35 |
| outsiders | hello everybody | 07:35 |
| speeddemon8803 | Please PLEASE watch the hidden files on your system, as like in windows...you start screwing with hidden files...linux can break | 07:35 |
| hydoske1 | I need to extract an rpm - anybody have any ideas? | 07:35 |
| bazhang | hydoske1: what app | 07:35 |
| elknof1 | gnite | 07:35 |
| crolle17 | searching for a file (with "test" in its name) in a specific folder i have to do this, right? locate -d /home/crolle *test* | 07:35 |
| speeddemon8803 | !alien | 07:35 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:35 |
| elknof1 | thanks all | 07:35 |
| _Oz_ | ok, so I used 'locate azureus' and many files appeared... which one is the binary? | 07:35 |
| speeddemon8803 | !rpm | 07:35 |
| hydoske1 | bazhang - avr-libc is missing packages for the tiny24 | 07:35 |
| outsiders | !alien | 07:35 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:35 |
| gejr | _Oz_: my favourite way of doing this is: "find / -perm u+x -name "*myprog*"" it search the entire disk (/) for programs that are executable for a user, for a file named "myprog" | 07:36 |
| bazhang | hydoske1: you will get much grief and likely little support if you choose to go that route--very risky | 07:36 |
| hydoske1 | speeddemon8803 - alien won't do it, i need a file inside the RPM, not to install it | 07:36 |
| _Oz_ | ouch, gejr | 07:36 |
| Dezine | How can I remove the drive icons for my mounted windows partitions from my desktop without unmounted them? | 07:36 |
| _Oz_ | I am trying to escape windows, but the command line is still something I'm barely capable of handling | 07:36 |
| hydoske1 | bazhang - I need it though, and I'm almost certain it will work | 07:36 |
| speeddemon8803 | Please avoid doing the same command numerous times in a row as it can bog down the bot, and if you must experiment, try /msg ubotu <<!factoid>> Thanks! | 07:37 |
| hydoske1 | I've done a lot of research on it | 07:37 |
| bazhang | almost certain heh | 07:37 |
| gejr | _Oz_: i guess locate can do it too, but i never use that. I hate having to do "updatedb" to reindex before every search. | 07:37 |
| _Oz_ | it seems unreasonable to have to remember a command line command like that (or to even have to type it) just to find the file that the app is asking me for | 07:37 |
| _Oz_ | why do you have to updatedb before every search, exactly? | 07:37 |
| hydoske1 | yes, almost certain | 07:37 |
| gejr | locate keeps a database of all files | 07:37 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: what are you trying to do exactly | 07:37 |
| hydoske1 | and if I'm wrong, I don't have a mess on my hands "like I would with the alien solution" | 07:37 |
| Dezine | nevermind | 07:38 |
| gejr | it updates its once per 24 hours (usually during night) | 07:38 |
| _Oz_ | bazhang: I was downloading a torrent | 07:38 |
| Dezine | Ubuntu Tweak let me change it | 07:38 |
| hydoske1 | I told you, avr-libc from the repositories has a known bug where it's missing support for the microcontroller I'm trying to program | 07:38 |
| _Oz_ | I wanted azureus to accept the download from firefox rather than save the torrent file to disk | 07:38 |
| gejr | if you've just installed a program you have to reindex that database to find its files | 07:38 |
| _Oz_ | so firefox said, "Which program do you want to open this with?" | 07:38 |
| _Oz_ | and I couldn't tell it | 07:38 |
| _Oz_ | because I couldn't find it | 07:38 |
| bazhang | Dezine: ubuntutweak? what is that | 07:38 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| _Oz_ | (and still can't find it) | 07:38 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; how did you install azureus? | 07:38 |
| gejr | _Oz_: go to commandline and type "which azureus" ? | 07:38 |
| _Oz_ | add/remove programs | 07:38 |
| hydoske1 | bazhang - I told you, avr-libc from the repositories has a known bug where it's missing support for the microcontroller I'm trying to program | 07:38 |
| gejr | what does that return? | 07:38 |
| hydoske1 | bazhang - so I need to extract a precompiled file that would add support for this microcontroller from an RPM that has it | 07:39 |
| _Oz_ | well, nothing now | 07:39 |
| Dezine | It's a program I found looking around online, let's you tweak some settings. | 07:39 |
| _Oz_ | I removed azureus heh | 07:39 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; do the same step you did before with the torrent.. simply type /usr/bin/azureus .. that is where it is located. | 07:39 |
| gejr | _Oz_: ah ;) | 07:39 |
| _Oz_ | installed deluge, which firefox somehow "found" | 07:39 |
| Dezine | bazhang, http://ubuntu-tweak.com/downloads | 07:39 |
| bazhang | hydoske1: no idea how to do that--sorry | 07:39 |
| _Oz_ | but I was asking so that next time I could do this the right way | 07:39 |
| _Oz_ | this seems like it should be simple but I must be missing something very obvious because I'm still totally confused | 07:40 |
| _Oz_ | I just want to tell the app where it can find a binary | 07:40 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; write this down binary files are located in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin | 07:40 |
| _Oz_ | ok | 07:40 |
| _Oz_ | pretty much always? | 07:40 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; unless you tell them to be in a different place, yes | 07:41 |
| _Oz_ | I just run the package install | 07:41 |
| _Oz_ | and let it do its thing | 07:41 |
| _Oz_ | so I assume they go there, then | 07:41 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; /usr/bin would be where they go if you do it that way. | 07:41 |
| bazhang | Dezine: that works for you? | 07:41 |
| Soludra | Is it possible to cause the BACKSPACE key, when using Firefox, to go back a page instead of acting as a page up? | 07:41 |
| Dezine | Yeah it works just fine | 07:42 |
| bazhang | dezine then what is the issue? | 07:42 |
| Dezine | Nothing, I didn't know it could take them off. I just looked again and say it. | 07:42 |
| Dezine | saw it* | 07:43 |
| _Oz_ | soludra: yes | 07:43 |
| bazhang | dezine I would guess that ubuntutweak is as well supported as automatix around here ;] | 07:43 |
| _Oz_ | soludra: type "about:config" in your firefox address bar | 07:43 |
| _Oz_ | then search for "backspace" | 07:43 |
| _Oz_ | change that value from 1 to 0 | 07:43 |
| Soludra | Aaah. Thanks. | 07:43 |
| Dezine | Well I don't need any support for it, was looking for help about the icons but looked at the program for the heck of it and it solved my problem. | 07:43 |
| _Oz_ | You're welcome. | 07:43 |
| _Oz_ | ok, gotta rest myownself. | 07:44 |
| _Oz_ | Thanks, everyone, for the help in trying to make my muddled mind understand the obvious. | 07:44 |
| _Oz_ | I know it's annoying to explain ultra-obvious stuff like. | 07:44 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; command line kicks ass once you learn it | 07:44 |
| _Oz_ | like that, rather. | 07:44 |
| _Oz_ | bastid: I'm sure it does... and I have been using it more, slowly. | 07:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | i agree bastid | 07:45 |
| _Oz_ | What's the kybd shortcut for terminal? | 07:45 |
| gejr | _Oz_: keep the spirit up, you'll get used to it after a while :) | 07:45 |
| _Oz_ | gejr: thanks. :) | 07:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | yup | 07:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | it took me like a week | 07:45 |
| Dezine | What's the difference between aptitide and apt-get and which should I use? | 07:45 |
| _Oz_ | doesn't terminal have a shortcut like the run command (alt-f2?) | 07:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | !aptitude | 07:46 |
| ubotu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 07:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | !apt-get | 07:46 |
| 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) | 07:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | You should use aptitude whenever possible dezine | 07:46 |
| bazhang | Dezine: personal preference really | 07:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | well...true | 07:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | :) | 07:46 |
| bazhang | heh | 07:46 |
| Dezine | Ok, thank you. Seems the more I read the more I see "aptitude" rather than apt-get. | 07:46 |
| gejr | _Oz_: you must define your own shortcuts.. google for keyboard shortcuts in gnome if you don't know how. | 07:46 |
| bazhang | though apt-get is getting new functions in hardy ;] | 07:47 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; type $PATH .. that should show you a list of where ubuntu looks for binaries | 07:47 |
| speeddemon8803 | Hardy in general is getting a lot of goodies :) | 07:47 |
| bazhang | yesh | 07:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | i cant wait | 07:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | and dont wanna break my pc | 07:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | so i gotta | 07:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | 8.04 is LTS correct? | 07:48 |
| bazhang | gnome is ;[ | 07:48 |
| _Oz_ | thanks, bastid | 07:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | hehe | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | sucks for kubuntu and xubuntu users then | 07:49 |
| _Oz_ | gnite all | 07:49 |
| _Oz_ | & | 07:49 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; you can use tab to autocomplete names | 07:49 |
| Dezine | good think I use ubuntu | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | but....those two can easily be installed :) | 07:49 |
| Dezine | thing* | 07:49 |
| bazhang | bye oz | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | with sudo apt-get install kubuntu or sudo apt-get install xubuntu | 07:49 |
| bastid_raZor | _Oz_; in command line tab is your friend ;) | 07:49 |
| speeddemon8803 | yup | 07:49 |

| shnastybiznastic | quick question: I"m wanting to make menuconfig and need to know where ubuntu puts source installed from the package manager | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | heh | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | yeah | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | oops | 07:50 |
| Dezine | I've tried kubuntu and xubuntu, I'm too used to gnome. | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | me too dezine | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | kubuntu drove me nuts | 07:50 |
| bazhang | shnastybiznastic: where did you put it? | 07:50 |
| Dezine | xfce is nice but not my cup of tea | 07:50 |
| speeddemon8803 | it was too "windowsy" | 07:50 |
| Dezine | yeah | 07:50 |
| Templario | speeddemon8803 i need help with my kernel | 07:50 |
| shnastybiznastic | *I* didn't put it anywhere, I simply selected the package marked linux source and let the package manager do it's thing | 07:50 |
| bazhang | Templario: do you have vmsplice in your kernel? | 07:51 |
| speeddemon8803 | templario, please ask someone else like bazhang, i have no clue about kernels | 07:51 |
| bazhang | shnastybiznastic: oops misread your question | 07:51 |
| Templario | not | 07:51 |
| Templario | i have a bug | 07:51 |

| Templario | sorry bazhang but i need help with my kernell | 07:52 |
| Dezine | Ok, for some reason when I log out I have no log in screen. I can get in with startx but I think messing with kubuntu screwed things up. How can I reset it? | 07:52 |
| speeddemon8803 | kernels are not my thing | 07:52 |
| rettopnam | shnastybiznastic: did you check /var/apt/cache/ ? I'm not sure if source files are somewhere else tho | 07:52 |
| bazhang | shnastybiznastic: slackware? how does this relate to ubuntu? | 07:52 |
| shnastybiznastic | I'm using ubuntu, but I use to use slackware | 07:53 |
| speeddemon8803 | slackware is super configurable | 07:53 |
| shnastybiznastic | hence, my quextion is about where the source I just downloaded went | 07:53 |
| bazhang | Dezine: I suspect ubuntu tweak | 07:53 |
| speeddemon8803 | you build it yourself right? | 07:53 |
| shnastybiznastic | wait, I think it just downloaded the bzip | 07:53 |
| Dezine | Nah, I've done it before but don't remember how to get it back. | 07:53 |
| shnastybiznastic | okay, nevermind | 07:53 |
| Dezine | I think I set kdm as default. | 07:53 |
| Dezine | how do I reset that | 07:54 |
| bazhang | just a general query if any ops are looking in: is ubuntu tweak officially supported by #ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| Templario | como que resolve | 07:55 |
| Templario | Coringao | 07:55 |
| Templario | ? | 07:55 |
| Dezine | I'm pretty sure that isn't the issue | 07:55 |
| bazhang | Templario: what is the exact bug, or just too much slashdot | 07:55 |
| Dezine | I'll try a restart | 07:56 |
| bazhang | dezine so many automatix users said as well ;] | 07:56 |
| Templario | have a bug | 07:56 |
| Templario | bazhang in kernell of ubuntu | 07:56 |
| Templario | you understand me? | 07:56 |
| bazhang | Templario: saying have a bug is very non helpful--be precise | 07:56 |
| razordead | Templario: I probably can't help, but I'm noticing you haven't said what this "bug" is or what you want done about it | 07:57 |
| spartan | using automatix is asking for trouble | 07:57 |
| Templario | have a exploit | 07:57 |

| neville | metvetski it's always best to install Windows first | 08:16 |
| Templario | im not lying | 08:16 |
| shadow__ | ubuntu has the same kernel | 08:16 |
| Bodsda | metvetski, but you can reinstall grub, after vista has destroyed it | 08:16 |
| Templario | ubuntu have a bug | 08:16 |

| Bodsda | way!!! compiz ftw!! | 08:34 |
| ethan961 | haha, the gnome part... | 08:34 |

| CVD-PR | 32bit is simply more reliable? | 08:35 |
| bazhang | CVD-PR: less problematic shall we say ;] | 08:35 |
| CVD-PR | ok | 08:35 |
| DrOnline | crolle__: 192.168.x.x is not globally routable so you'd only be able to see it if you were using your own DNS server | 08:35 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, you lie,. the peasents on 32 can't have more then 2gig of ram!!! hahahah | 08:35 |

| Eagleofnorth | hi guys! this may not be Ubuntu related at all, but I'm having some "surfing problems".... I'm very happy with 7.10 but FireFox can handle as many tabs as i'm used to in XP. It bogs down. I've installed Opera, but that chrashes frequently. Any suggestions? | 08:41 |
| ethan961 | awww | 08:41 |
| metvetski | and we set their inventors on fire! | 08:41 |
| ethan961 | defeat | 08:41 |
| metvetski | then we cleaned out their bank accounts | 08:41 |
| metvetski | we're evil. | 08:41 |
| Bodsda | Eagleofnorth, Mozilla firefox? sorry im not to familliar with opera | 08:41 |
| speeddemon8803 | dont flood the bot please, if you dont know commands please i suggest you go to the website ubotu has suggested. | 08:41 |
| metvetski | mwaha. | 08:41 |
| bazhang | Eagleofnorth: try running it from terminal first and tell us if there are any errors | 08:41 |
| * ethan961 waves white towel on hockey stick | 08:41 | |
| bazhang | Eagleofnorth: unless it is flash sites that are problematic and there is now a fix for that ;] | 08:41 |
| metvetski | i commandeer that hockey stick! | 08:41 |
| * Bodsda see's ethan961's flag, then shots the traitor | 08:42 | |
| mike__ | basicly non of the selected options for close lid will work, won't sleep, or screeb off | 08:42 |
| * speeddemon8803 breaks the stick | 08:42 | |
| metvetski | uh oh | 08:42 |
| metvetski | :( | 08:42 |
| Eagleofnorth | yes, many of my regular sites have flash objects.....? | 08:42 |
| metvetski | i am insufficiently evil to deal with this setback | 08:42 |
| * ethan961 wasted one of his 9 remaining lives | 08:42 | |
| bazhang | Eagleofnorth: have you had trouble with flash sites recently? | 08:42 |
| * Bodsda smites speeddemon8803 with a quick swipe of my hammer | 08:42 | |
| bazhang | !ot | everyone cmon! | 08:42 |
| ubotu | everyone cmon!: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:42 |

| Eagleofnorth | they work most of the time. But I like to open ca 25 tabs each morning :) That works fine in XP, but in Ubuntu Firefox becomes increadibly slow. That is strange, beacuse everything else works much faster in Ubuntu than in Xp... | 08:44 |

| ubotu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 08:46 |
| * ethan961 and billy buys ubuntu and its evil empire | 08:46 | |
| Eagleofnorth | bodsda, I do not know about that.... bazhang: if I run TOP in terminal FF uses 98% in thos cases. | 08:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | !botabuse | 08:46 |
| ubotu | Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 08:46 |
| bazhang | Eagleofnorth: how much ram? | 08:46 |
| Bodsda | Eagleofnorth, you can speed up firefox by turnin off ipv6 | 08:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | ive used lol most of today...and you are the very first one to whine to me about it...thats...odd | 08:46 |

| Bodsda | Eagleofnorth, somewhere in ff,.,. lemme check | 08:47 |
| speeddemon8803 | and i was also bored | 08:47 |
| bazhang | Eagleofnorth: I would use firefox 3 or reduce the number of tabs or get more ram ;] | 08:47 |
| M-Nagato | an ad blocker might help too, cut down on the useless junk being rendered | 08:48 |

| speeddemon8803 | !kde | 09:04 |
| ubotu | KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 09:04 |
| DrDerek | I don't know what I pressed on my keyboard | 09:04 |
| DrDerek | my scrollbar is on the left instead of the right | 09:04 |
| Bodsda | speeddemon8803, me thinks that was unneeded | 09:04 |
| Bodsda | DrDerek, haha | 09:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | actually it was | 09:05 |
| DrDerek | nm, it's fixed now | 09:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | shoulda been private but it was | 09:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | :) | 09:05 |
| speeddemon8803 | i want kde lol | 09:05 |
| DrDerek | that was weird | 09:05 |
| Bodsda | speeddemon8803, but no one asked about kde,.,.they was just talking bout it,.,.;~) | 09:05 |
| ethan961 | last thing said in kubuntu was !patience a half hour ago | 09:05 |
| * Bodsda thinks speeddemon8803 will be the first casualty of my world domination | 09:06 | |
| Imaginal | DrDerek: what did you do? | 09:06 |
| speeddemon8803 | i actually asked about it...to myself..and answered myself | 09:06 |
| DrDerek | Imaginal - dunno | 09:06 |
| speeddemon8803 | so...yeah | 09:06 |
| DrDerek | I don't know how I did it, or fix it. | 09:06 |
| DrDerek | lol | 09:06 |
| speeddemon8803 | nah, if i dont activate my a bomb first bodsda | 09:06 |
| Bodsda | speeddemon8803, you will join me or die!! | 09:06 |
| ethan961 | haha, and you will be the first of mine, Bodsda | 09:06 |
| speeddemon8803 | !atomicbomb | 09:07 |

| speeddemon8803 | today worse than any other day | 09:08 |
| bazhang | wow | 09:08 |
| DrDerek | why did it remove the ban? | 09:08 |
| speeddemon8803 | because its temporary | 09:08 |
| speeddemon8803 | all flood bans are temporary | 09:08 |
| bazhang | just a temp flood ban | 09:08 |
| elkbuntu | guys, stop giving the spammers attention please | 09:08 |
| MissDjax | <elkbuntu> guys, stop giving the spammers attention please <-- thumbs up | 09:09 |
| bazhang | hard to ignore | 09:09 |
| pabix | Hello. I do not understand why some packages do not appear in synaptic (like libfaac-dev) with multiverse activated in my sources.list | 09:09 |
| johnny | how about banning them completely? | 09:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | ok, so lets let them flood our room..and cause us to disconnect from exploits | 09:09 |
| johnny | somebody here has ops. | 09:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | nice one elk | 09:09 |
| elkbuntu | bazhang, maybe so, but you dont need to comment on them and let the idiots watching the channel get even more kicks from the disruption | 09:09 |
| Imaginal | My webcam is installed. How do I turn it on? Some programs do it automatically, and others don't | 09:09 |
| speeddemon8803 | elk | 09:09 |
| bazhang | elkbuntu: you are blaming me for this? | 09:10 |
| speeddemon8803 | most of the "idiots" watching the channel...are away | 09:10 |
| [adw] | hi, does anyone know if theres any app in apt that manages a lamp install like xampp or wamp does? | 09:10 |

| MenZa | that | 09:10 |
| metvetski | oh no | 09:10 |
| MenZa | was quick | 09:10 |
| elkbuntu | saw that one coming | 09:10 |
| jpatrick | yep | 09:10 |
| metvetski | it was, rather | 09:10 |
| ethan961 | type !ubuntu in #archlinux | 09:10 |
| ethan961 | funny | 09:10 |
| MenZa | !offtopic | 09:10 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:10 |
| bazhang | elkbuntu that is manifestly unfair--that guy was spamming and ops had just been called | 09:10 |
| DrDerek | I want an AIDS sandwhich full of ubuntu fail | 09:11 |
| MenZa | Can we go back to support chat, please? | 09:11 |
| ethan961 | but offtopic | 09:11 |
| Bodsda | youd think with 28 people in the !ops cal, that someone would hear us | 09:11 |
| DrDerek | sounds delicious | 09:11 |
| speeddemon8803 | dang...and you called yourself an idiot??? | 09:11 |
| numist | hmm | 09:11 |
| elkbuntu | ethan961, please dont troll other channels | 09:11 |
| razordead | [adw]: I don't know of one, but I don't think it's really necessary when you have the package system of Ubuntu | 09:11 |
| elkbuntu | Bodsda, you'd think, but none of us are paid to do this | 09:11 |
| elkbuntu | Bodsda, nobody pays me to skip dinner with my folks to babysit | 09:11 |
| Bodsda | elkbuntu, ah,.,.hello,.,. sorry | 09:11 |
| DrDerek | you guys should make me an op | 09:11 |
| [adw] | razordead: yes, but i want to manually start apache/mysql, instead of it starting by default on boot | 09:12 |
| DrDerek | I'm always on | 09:12 |
| speeddemon8803 | With the flooding in this room...why dont you guys just make another room? | 09:12 |
| DrDerek | what do you think of that bazhang? | 09:12 |
| jpatrick | !guidelines > DrDerek | 09:12 |
| bazhang | DrDerek: right on | 09:12 |
| * Bodsda thinks bazhang could be an op,.,.maybe | 09:12 | |
| speeddemon8803 | maybe | 09:12 |
| DrDerek | jpatrick :( | 09:13 |
| razordead | [adw]: does xampp & the like typically have some sort of configuration editor that helps with that sort of thing? | 09:13 |
| speeddemon8803 | i pulled them in beginners....i dunno | 09:13 |
| metvetski | i don't want to be an op but i think i should be paid! | 09:13 |
| [adw] | razordead: but found tool called sysv-rc-conf or something, it works... | 09:13 |
| razordead | [adw]: good | 09:13 |
| speeddemon8803 | !free | 09:13 |
| ubotu | freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing | 09:13 |
| DrDerek | jpatrick - I'm usually in off-topic, so it may look like I'm new to here. | 09:14 |
| bazhang | pabix you still around? | 09:14 |
| [adw] | razordead: anyways, thanks | 09:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | im usually in beginners | 09:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | so thats why everyone thinks im totally new to here | 09:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | until i start throwing commands like theres no tomorrow | 09:15 |
| MissDjax | crdlb >> ok it works fine with any kind of videoplayer, how about my webcam ? when I see the preview screen in skype it seems to use xv with black flickering window | 09:15 |
| x_dimitri | does md5crypt use a random salt if no salt is specified? | 09:15 |
| cy3o3 | http://www.rowtow.com/ has teh HIV | 09:15 |
| crdlb | MissDjax: look for a setting in skype's preferences, I don't know that it has one though | 09:15 |
| bazhang | cy3o3: not here please | 09:16 |
| Mushrooms | Hi everyone, a newbie using ubuntu here... and just trying to install it | 09:16 |
| MissDjax | crdlb no it hasn't.. :o( | 09:16 |
| Mushrooms | I'm a bit worried because it's been stuck on configuring apt for a while now | 09:17 |
| Mushrooms | a while as in about 10 minutes already | 09:17 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: how long | 09:17 |
| speeddemon8803 | are you using the alternative install mushrooms? | 09:17 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: give it a bit more then | 09:17 |
| speeddemon8803 | also known as "text-mode" | 09:18 |
| Mushrooms | it says here "configuring apt, scanning the mirror" or something | 09:18 |
| speeddemon8803 | thats normal | 09:18 |
| Mushrooms | the mouse and everything else still responds | 09:18 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: is this connected to the internet? | 09:18 |
| Mushrooms | no, i couldn't get my wireless to work properly | 09:18 |
| speeddemon8803 | now THATS not normal | 09:18 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: if it is not connected to the internet then the mirror scan will eventually give up | 09:19 |
| Mushrooms | TT^TT how long should i be waiting? it kinda looks like a typical 'hang' in windows | 09:19 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: best to get an ethernet cable while doing that | 09:19 |
| Mushrooms | so what should i do? | 09:19 |
| Mushrooms | just let it time out? | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | it will say commenting out sources.list or some stuff like that if it cant do what it wants | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | yeah | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | let it time out | 09:20 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: otherwise those mirrors will be commented out | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | if it times out..no big deal | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | you can get these sources back with a few mouse clicks | 09:20 |
| Mushrooms | how long are we talking about here... 30 minutes? a few hours? | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | it depends | 09:20 |
| Mushrooms | oh dear | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | shouldnt be more than an hour | 09:21 |
| Mushrooms | oh dear | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | ever | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | even with ubuntu studio...which is huge | 09:21 |
| Mushrooms | wouldn't it be better if i just aborted the installation and plugged in a ethernet cable? | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | no | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | you might screw up your hard drive doing that | 09:22 |
| g[r]eek | Hi I have a Nokia 9300i and would like to connect to the internet with it. I am using Ubuntu Gutsy Desktop ed. I have the usb cable plugged in. Nokia has software for windows called "nokia pc suite" but nothing for linux. What do I do thanks | 09:22 |
| JohnRobert | how can I alter the *default* program nautilus uses to open files? | 09:22 |
| Mushrooms | so... what if it doesn't time out? | 09:22 |
| speeddemon8803 | it will | 09:22 |
| berto__ | Hi all :) More meat for you :) How can I make a keyboard that is not present? Is there any graphic toll like the stuff used in Win? | 09:23 |
| berto__ | I need two of them, depending on the layout | 09:23 |
| speeddemon8803 | like an on screen keyboard? | 09:23 |
| berto__ | one based on the phys layout of the it kb, the other based on standard US | 09:23 |
| speeddemon8803 | hmmm | 09:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | im not sure | 09:24 |
| speedhunt3r | hey what's the name of the desktop applet that shows you information of your cpu/mem usage, etc ? | 09:24 |
| Mushrooms | speeddemon8803: here we go... it appears to have timed out | 09:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | great | 09:24 |
| Mushrooms | thanks for your help ^-^ | 09:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | heh | 09:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | your welcome | 09:24 |
| Mushrooms | what does it mean when it says "commented out" | 09:25 |
| Stevethepirate | Um. | 09:25 |
| speeddemon8803 | it means it put an # in front of a line in your sources.list file | 09:25 |
| Imaginal | speedhunt3r: the name or how to find it? | 09:25 |
| Stevethepirate | speeddemon8803: Not always a # | 09:25 |
| speedhunt3r | Imaginal, both... | 09:25 |
| Stevethepirate | any not always in ur source.list | 09:25 |
| Stevethepirate | but in this case, yes. | 09:25 |
| speeddemon8803 | but.....for what this is talking about yes | 09:26 |
| Kate_mins | hello , how can move move file via ssh command ? (cp its for copy.. how can i move file location) ? | 09:26 |
| Stevethepirate | Yeah | 09:26 |
| speeddemon8803 | steve thanks for jumping in when i had it controlled :) | 09:26 |
| speeddemon8803 | heh | 09:26 |
| Stevethepirate | I just read now | 09:26 |
| Stevethepirate | soz, irssi fail :( | 09:26 |
| Stevethepirate | :P | 09:26 |
| Stevethepirate | Kate_mins: type "man scp" | 09:26 |
| M-Nagato | Kate_mins, you can use mv | 09:26 |
| Mushrooms | ok... so i really don't need to worry about the commented stuff right? i mean i can install all of those files that didn't get installed from the repositories? | 09:26 |
| berto__ | yes, I used MSKLC.exe | 09:26 |
| berto__ | to make it 4 XP | 09:26 |
| Imaginal | speedhunt3r: there is a panel applet. Right click -> add to panel -> system monitor | 09:26 |
| Stevethepirate | Pretend that any line prefixed with a "#" does not exist. | 09:26 |
| speeddemon8803 | well, you can go to your system tab...go to sources..and click check boxes to uncomment them | 09:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | thats all it takes to get them back | 09:27 |
| Bodsda | Stevethepirate, please try and keep responses to one line | 09:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | you will probably need to do this...so...go ahead and do it :) | 09:27 |
| Mushrooms | i see... well not really... i guess i'll need to complete the installation first, connect to the internet and then try to understand what you guys mean >.< | 09:27 |
| speedhunt3r | Imaginal, I know about system manager, I am talking about the "eye candy" version of it | 09:27 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: not to worry, you can re-enable them once you do get online | 09:27 |
| speeddemon8803 | heh, yeah...good idea :) | 09:27 |
| berto__ | if there is easy way, can't I simply cpy the files for the existing bkeyboard, rename them and modify them? | 09:28 |
| devicex | can somebody tell me more about suse? | 09:28 |
| Imaginal | speedhunt3r: sorry, I'm no more help | 09:28 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: can be done so in synaptic, though a net connection is not optional ;] | 09:28 |
| speedhunt3r | Imaginal, you can find ppl's screenshots on gnome-look.org who have that on their desktop i forgot the name of the program. | 09:28 |
| bazhang | #suse | 09:28 |
| Mushrooms | and hmm... sorry..>.< i might need a hand configuring the wireless too | 09:28 |
| Mushrooms | but i'll have a crack at it first | 09:28 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: what we live for ;] | 09:29 |
| neko | hi people | 09:29 |
| bazhang | devicex they have a channel you can ask there | 09:29 |
| Imaginal | speedhunt3r: maybe if you can find a specific screenshot, someone can identify it | 09:29 |
| erfan | hi | 09:29 |
| Bodsda | Mushrooms, although we advise you try thins yourself, if you come here, and tell us what your gonna try, then we no what you've done, and we can stop you if your gonna do anything stupid,.,.;~) | 09:29 |
| neko | i see that there is possibility to set custom background for filebrowser | 09:29 |
| neko | but is there a way to set different background for different folders ? | 09:30 |
| Mushrooms | Bodsda: i'm always scared that ill do something really really stupid >.< | 09:30 |
| Mushrooms | so i figured i better ask first | 09:30 |
| Bodsda | Mushrooms, ust ive us a step-by-step while your doing it, and then we can advise/disadvise | 09:31 |
| Bodsda | ;~) | 09:31 |
| Bodsda | ust=just | 09:31 |
| rama_8086 | how to install php in ubuntu | 09:31 |
| bazhang | rama_8086: as in lamp? | 09:31 |
| Mushrooms | Bodsda: ok, i'll need to reboot now | 09:31 |

| alesan | hi, I have installed mozilla thunderbird for my email | 09:33 |
| alesan | how do I let thunderbird open links in firefox? | 09:34 |
| alesan | evolution and many other (even KDE) programs have this function | 09:34 |
| alesan | if I click a link in thunderbird it doesn not open anywhere | 09:34 |
| pocketwatch | alesan, system > preferences > preferred applications; you should be able to set a default web browser there | 09:35 |
| Mushrooms | is there like an ipconfig /all command? | 09:36 |
| pocketwatch | Mushrooms, ifconfig | 09:36 |
| Mushrooms | i see | 09:36 |
| Mushrooms | excellent | 09:36 |
| Mushrooms | well it appears to be able to ping my router quite easily | 09:36 |
| Mushrooms | so it 'should work' | 09:36 |
| bazhang | ifconfig iwconfig for wireless Mushrooms | 09:36 |
| Mushrooms | lol | 09:36 |
| nickname99384 | iwlist wlan0 | 09:37 |
| nickname99384 | for scan | 09:37 |
| Mushrooms | ok | 09:37 |
| bazhang | !lamp | rama_8086 | 09:37 |
| ubotu | rama_8086: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 09:37 |
| Mushrooms | yay ok my wirless is going | 09:37 |
| bazhang | nice | 09:37 |
| Mushrooms | thanks a lot guys ^-^ | 09:38 |
| rama_8086 | bazhang, iam istalling lamp | 09:38 |
| bazhang | rama_8086: nice ;] | 09:38 |
| rama_8086 | bazhang, i selected the lamp server | 09:38 |
| alesan | pocketwatch: it is firefox indeed. but as I said, thunderbird ignores that. | 09:38 |
| rama_8086 | bazhang, i selected the lamp server using tasksel what should i do next | 09:39 |
| pocketwatch | alesan, that's odd. i use evolution and opera so i dont have any other specific ideas | 09:39 |
| alesan | thunderbird always had this stupid problem :( | 09:40 |
| jenda | Hello. I am trying to install a fully encrypted system (mainly /home and swap). I have already done this before, but I am a little lost right now. There are 8 how-tos on the wiki, and I simply don't know which one to use. | 09:40 |
| bazhang | rama_8086: did you read that link? ;] | 09:40 |
| rama_8086 | bazhang, i am reading...thnx | 09:41 |
| zuch | java-gnome(http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/) is not available in ubuntu repos but is a standard with some other repos. I spent a lot of time setting it up on ubuntu. Is there any way I can suggest it to be included? I don't know much about packaging but I can try and help. | 09:41 |
| bazhang | zuch there is a wishlist you can post to iirc | 09:41 |
| zuch | bazhang: thanks I will look it up | 09:42 |
| jenda | The howto I like most ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFileSystem ) is not supposed to work on 7.10 "without modifications", but nobody explains what these are, and the forum thread isn't helpful either. | 09:42 |
| bazhang | !wishlist | 09:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wishlist - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:42 |

| Survivorman | Is there a command that I can use to see how much RAM a specific program, Firefox for instance, is using? | 09:47 |
| Mushrooms | oh noes >.< i ran into some problem again | 09:48 |
| cpk1 | I was in the middle of upgrading to gutsy and it looks like adept zombified, can I kill it and then restart without causing problems? | 09:48 |
| jpatrick | Survivorman: "top"? | 09:48 |
| cpk1 | Survivorman: 'ps aux | 09:48 |
| cpk1 | without the ' | 09:48 |
| Survivorman | Thanks guys :) | 09:48 |
| Mushrooms | I tried to download the Opera browser | 09:49 |
| kuldipz | hi | 09:49 |
| Mushrooms | it downloaded ok, but when i double click on it an error comes up as "Error:dependency is not satisfiable:libqt3-mt" | 09:50 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: downloaded from where? | 09:50 |
| Mushrooms | opera website | 09:51 |
| jpatrick | Mushrooms: install libqt3-mt | 09:51 |
| sobczyk | hi, I have a problem with writing partition table to a 160Gb seagate disk, fdisk seemsto work fine, though no partition table is created | 09:51 |
| Mushrooms | can i install libqt3-mt from the repositories? | 09:51 |
| jpatrick | !info libqt3-mt > Mushrooms | 09:51 |
| sobczyk | Ihe found this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-91538.html , but no solution there | 09:52 |
| jpatrick | Mushrooms: sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt | 09:52 |
| sobczyk | anyone have dealt with this problem before? | 09:52 |
| Mushrooms | >.< it says: E:Couldn't find package libqt3-mt | 09:53 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: You tried only fdisk? | 09:53 |
| jpatrick | !repo > Mushrooms | 09:54 |
| sobczyk | parted cfdisk qtparted | 09:54 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: opera can be downloaded from the canonical gutsy partner repositories; you have to enable them in synaptic | 09:54 |
| * w0t is going out of town for a couple of days, bbl [amsg] | 09:54 | |
| jpatrick | !away > w0t | 09:54 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, and different machines with or withoud a raid controller | 09:54 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: Then have you tried Windows installed in that hdd? | 09:55 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: it is better to install from repositories--instead of like in ##windows ;] | 09:55 |
| Mushrooms | i see | 09:55 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, no but my friends PC (with XP) seems to deal with it just fine | 09:56 |
| Mushrooms | so i should be able to search itup from synaptic package manager | 09:56 |
| bazhang | less chance of breakage that way ;] | 09:56 |
| Mushrooms | and install it from there? | 09:56 |
| sobczyk | can partition it etc. | 09:56 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: first enable the repo, then refresh reload your sources and search for it there | 09:56 |
| H8Red | hola | 09:57 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: You should first check the jumper on your hdd. | 09:57 |
| Mushrooms | yikes, now i've never done that before... | 09:57 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, tried master/slave/cable select... | 09:57 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: not to worry just needs a bit of getting used to ;] | 09:57 |
| jenda | So, no tips regarding encrypted filesystems? :( | 09:58 |
| Mushrooms | so enabling the repositories should be done via the terminal? | 09:58 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: and as this is a new install, expect many updates waiting once you have refreshed your sources ;] | 09:58 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: you've tried that? | 09:58 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: you can do that but synaptic is easier to start with | 09:59 |
| Mushrooms | *sigh* i'm so lost >___< | 09:59 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, yes, Its like the drive is ignoring linux :) | 09:59 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: So you even put the drive into different machines, but no help, right? | 10:00 |
| sobczyk | no help at all | 10:00 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: I've read about someone had a st hdd, and he found it was noising, but never did he know why until one day he found his hdd was working under sata1 capable mode... There should be another jumper if the hdd is a sata2 one. | 10:03 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, it is an ata 100 | 10:03 |
| tikka | Ubuntu, USB.. virtualbox.. | 10:03 |
| tikka | Anyone had joy getting this to work ? | 10:03 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: it's quite an old one... | 10:04 |
| kloot | Get a real operating system fags | 10:05 |
| * hend hugs kloot | 10:05 | |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: use command "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda" to write zeros to your disk. and use gparted to build the partition table again. | 10:05 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=eb8b9be7238b0110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD&locale=en-US | 10:05 |

| tikka | kloot: lol I use gentoo, slackware and ubuntu :P | 10:07 |
| JangMunho | sobczyk: be careful to use that command, you will lose all your data | 10:07 |
| Mushrooms | ok... i think i got the gist of this... i was able to get as far as enabling the repositories, and then reloading it | 10:07 |
| kloot | tikka, you use threee because you cant settle on one | 10:07 |
| Mushrooms | and then searching for opera was ok too | 10:07 |
| kloot | because your too scared that you wuill run into a brick wall and not know what to do with slack | 10:07 |
| sobczyk | JangMunho, i know dd, I used it to backup partitions | 10:07 |

| up_the_irons | where can i look to find info on patching my kernel wrt the vmsplice exploit? | 10:08 |
| up_the_irons | has the patch been backported yet? | 10:08 |
| Mushrooms | wow awesome, it's a little different to windows, but its pretty easy to use | 10:08 |
| nfsbz | hi, i got a dell laptop with windows on it. is there a safe way to make a dual boot for ubuntu (without destroying windows)? | 10:08 |
| jenda | Mushrooms: just wait till you get compiz and the like working :) | 10:08 |
| Mushrooms | i see ^-^ | 10:09 |
| JangMunho | nfsbz: Windows Vista? | 10:09 |
| tikka | nfsbz: xp will be added to grub under other operating systems. Vista however.. you need to find out more because I know grub breaks the vista bootloader | 10:09 |
| Mushrooms | so ok... i got opera installed... i think?? lol i hope.. | 10:09 |
| nfsbz | im on xp! | 10:10 |
| Mushrooms | oh dude... that was so easy. thanks for your help guys ^-^ | 10:10 |
| ceil420 | !wifi | 10:10 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:10 |
| nfsbz | so i just put in the ubuntu cd and can install it safely? | 10:10 |
| Mushrooms | i'm going to use irc through opera now. brb | 10:10 |
| nfsbz | -can | 10:10 |
| ceil420 | thank you, ubotu :) | 10:11 |
| JangMunho | nfsbz: That's easy. Use gparted in the live CD to make a new partition for ubuntu. | 10:11 |
| ceil420 | !botsnack | 10:11 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 10:11 |
| Mushrooms | alright sweet ^-^ | 10:12 |
| nfsbz | how do i start up gparted? will the cd ask me during installation? | 10:12 |
| tikka | its an installed application in the live cd | 10:12 |
| nfsbz | ok thanks | 10:12 |
| tikka | fastest way, open a console sudo gparted | 10:12 |
| JangMunho | nfsbz: No, just go to system->management->gparted | 10:12 |
| jenda | nfsbz: the installer uses partman, another partitioner | 10:13 |
| tikka | or that ^^ | 10:13 |
| tikka | brb | 10:13 |
| ubud | if I have disable the restricted ATI driver, what drivers is being subsitute? | 10:13 |
| jenda | nfsbz: unless you manually tell it to use gparted during the installation (and I don't know the command for that...) | 10:13 |
| rama_8086 | when iam creating a file in /var/www/ it shows error | 10:13 |
| prahal_ | hi sorry to bother you for a non ubuntu specific problem ... I have switched to linux 2.6.24 and now get broken ssid names in network-manager (downgrading fixes ) . Doe this affect other users (I first though it was ipw2200 my driver but it had no real changes in latest monthes so now I am trying to narrow the search) | 10:13 |
| MissDjax | anyone knows how to start TVtime without xv ? | 10:14 |
| MissDjax | like for xawtv with xawtv -noxv | 10:14 |
| rama_8086 | i installed LAMP, when iam creating a file in /var/www/ it shows error | 10:15 |
| ubud | is is recommned to use restricted graphics driver for ubuntu? | 10:15 |
| prahal_ | I am also using nm 0.7 from source though it should be reproducible with 0.6.5 | 10:15 |
| JangMunho | ubud: Yes, ortherwise you may be faced with severial problems... | 10:15 |
| blackjohn | έχω έναν παλιό seleron sta 336 mgh ποιά ubuntu μπορώ να του βάλω για να μην τον πετάξω??? | 10:15 |
| DrOnline | ubud: the answer to that question is more political than anything else, but if it works for you then it's probably best | 10:16 |
| eth01 | blackjohn, this is an English channel only. | 10:16 |
| rama_8086 | i installed LAMP, is PHP when iam creating a file in /var/www/ it shows error | 10:16 |
| nfsbz | can a partitioner automatically free a region of disk space if i have some free memory? | 10:16 |
| Vague | what kind of error rama? | 10:17 |
| blackjohn | ok sory | 10:17 |
| ubud | DrOnline: If I used the propietry driver, watching movies is jerging | 10:17 |
| ikonia | rama_8086 pardon ? | 10:17 |
| DrOnline | ubud: what driver are you using? | 10:17 |
| ikonia | rama_8086: what sort of error ? | 10:17 |
| nickname99384 | some people really should just use windows | 10:18 |
| Imaginal | How do you turn a built-in webcam on? It works if the program knows how to turn it on... | 10:18 |
| nickname99384 | pretty much imaginal | 10:18 |
| DrOnline | ubud: n/m I need to learn to read up more | 10:18 |
| DrOnline | ubud: the ATI driver shouldn't affect video | 10:18 |
| ikonia | nickname99384: there is no problem using windows, everything has it's place | 10:18 |
| rama_8086 | ikonia, for doing php in ubuntu i installed lamp but iam unable to create file in /var/www | 10:18 |
| ikonia | rama_8086: exaplin "unable to create" | 10:18 |
| ubud | DrOnline: the ubuntu build in no problem, but when use the restricted windows driver, problems will come | 10:19 |
| Bodsda | has anyone got any experience with the python IDLE program? | 10:19 |
| Vague | @rama, maybe you should create with root privileges | 10:19 |
| rama_8086 | when i open /var/www folder there is no option to create file here | 10:19 |
| rama_8086 | ikonia, when i open /var/www folder there is no option to create document | 10:19 |
| DrOnline | ubud: the ubuntu built in driver is most likely the "vesa" driver. If that works for you and you don't need hardware acceleration than I suggest you use that one | 10:19 |
| Bodsda | rama_8086, sudo mkdir /var/www/myfolder | 10:20 |
| Vague | @rama Bodsda got you covered | 10:20 |
| ubud | Dronline: what is hardware acceration? | 10:20 |
| Bodsda | Vague, no,.im here for help too,.,. | 10:20 |
| Bodsda | this happens everytime | 10:20 |
| JangMunho | ubud: That because when a restricted will drive your card better, but if the hardware or the software has a bug, then problems will come... | 10:20 |
| DrOnline | ubud: hardware acceleration is using dedicated hardware to draw stuff on your screen (usually 3d graphics) | 10:21 |
| rama_8086 | bodsda, without using shell i want to create document in /var/www | 10:21 |
| demreath | does anyone know when the new version of packaged kernel (without vmsplice exploit) will be available in repos? | 10:21 |
| Bodsda | rama_8086, what sort of document, a plain text document? | 10:21 |
| JangMunho | ubud: What ubuntu default uses is not vesa but an open source ati driver. | 10:21 |
| rama_8086 | bodsda, yes a plain text document | 10:21 |
| Joetheodd | Alright, I just upgraded from breezy to dapper and I got the infamous logon prompt. I forget, what's the reconfigure command? | 10:21 |
| ikonia | rama_8086: 1.) you need to have a site configured in the site-enabled directory, 2.) you need to give your using permissions to write to that directory | 10:22 |
| Bodsda | rama_8086, im confused,. do you want to save a document to that folder? | 10:22 |
| JangMunho | ubud: If you use vesa driver then you can't even watch movie... | 10:22 |
| demreath | Joetheodd: dapper? why not upgrade to gutsy? | 10:23 |
| ubud | Dronline: I am building a media centre pc with ubuntu mythtv. using the build in opensource driver video very smooth | 10:23 |
| DrOnline | ubud: then that is probably your best option | 10:23 |
| ubud | DrOnline: how to tell what driver I am using now | 10:23 |
| rama_8086 | ikonia, how can i give permissions to write in that directory | 10:23 |
| Joetheodd | demreath, you can only upgrade one release at a time, cant you? | 10:24 |
| ikonia | rama_8086 use chmod or chown | 10:24 |
| DrOnline | ubud: try typing 'cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver' into a terminal | 10:24 |
| Bodsda | rama_8086, open the text editor with sudo,. eg gksudo gedit | 10:25 |
| DrOnline | ubud: though chances are it will say 'fglrx' | 10:25 |
| prometoys | hi, is it possible to recover a damaged LUKS-header? | 10:25 |
| rama_8086 | thanks ikonia,bodsda i solved that problem | 10:25 |
| Bodsda | rama_8086, ah,.ok,.,. | 10:26 |
| demreath | Joetheodd: You can upgrade straight to newest version. Change all "dapper" into "gutsy" in /etc/apt/sources.list and then write "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" in terminal | 10:26 |
| Joetheodd | demreath, ah, last time I used ubuntu that was highly recommended against | 10:26 |
| Joetheodd | demreath, but for now, how can I fix my X? | 10:27 |
| ubud | Dronline: it shows five lines of drivers, "kbd", "mouse", "wacom", "wacom", "nv" | 10:27 |
| DrOnline | ubud: nv is the driver you're using then | 10:27 |
| DrOnline | ubud: which is odd as you're using an ATI card | 10:27 |
| mohamed | hi all, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 and I need to install uclibc-toolchain any help? | 10:28 |
| DrOnline | ubud: or did I miss something | 10:28 |
| rama_8086 | Bodsda, how to give permission which files should be shown in web browser | 10:28 |
| JangMunho | ubud: Checking a driver is not that complex, just open restricted driver manager, and check if the restricted driver is working, if not, then you're using the open source driver. | 10:28 |
| ubud | DrOnline: When I reboot pc it always show nividia FX5200 | 10:28 |
| Bodsda | rama_8086, i run away,.,. i dont do web stuff,.,.sorry | 10:28 |
| up_the_irons | i recently did 'apt-get source linux-image-2.6.22-14-server' | 10:29 |
| up_the_irons | and | 10:29 |
| up_the_irons | dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot -B | 10:29 |
| up_the_irons | and in the debian/control file there's a ton of packages | 10:29 |
| demreath | Joetheodd: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 10:29 |
| Joetheodd | thanks demreath :) | 10:29 |
| up_the_irons | i only want to rebuild the kernel (not the modules, or documentation) | 10:29 |
| JangMunho | ubud: You're using an nvidia card | 10:29 |
| up_the_irons | how can i do this? | 10:29 |
| ubud | DrOnline: it is a HP P4 PC | 10:29 |
| ArM-eye | AMON-RA PPL! | 10:30 |
| DrOnline | ubud: By the sounds of things, you're running an nVidia video card | 10:30 |
| up_the_irons | i'm relatively new to dpkg-buildpackage, i've built a few packages recently, but nothing big like the kernel | 10:30 |
| cpk1 | ubud: when you type "lspci" into a terminal what does it say is your video card? | 10:30 |
| rama_8086 | ikonia, i create a site i used two file index.php and details.txt i don't want to display details.txt contents to be visible if i type sitename.com/details.txt | 10:30 |
| ArM-eye | Do you want to read the revelation? | 10:30 |
| ubud | cpk1: ls means list and lspci means list pci device? | 10:31 |
| ArM-eye | yes or no? | 10:31 |
| DrOnline | ubud: that's correct | 10:31 |
| ArM-eye | It involves biblical figures | 10:31 |
| ikonia | rama_8086 what ?? | 10:31 |
| Ubuntu5446 | hello | 10:31 |
| ubud | linux is so amazing. and all the software is free, can do more things haha | 10:31 |
| rama_8086 | ikonia, I create a site i used two file index.php and details.txt i don't want to display details.txt contents to be visible in web browser if i type sitename.com/details.txt | 10:32 |
| Joetheodd | ubud, and it doesn't crash when you try to browse a directory :P | 10:32 |
| ArM-eye | Do you want to read the revelation? | 10:32 |
| mohamed | I need to install uclibc toolchain any one has an idea? | 10:32 |
| ubud | yes, yes, linux so good, ms bye bye | 10:33 |
| ikonia | rama_8086: chmohamed dont | 10:33 |
| ikonia | oops | 10:33 |
| ikonia | mohamed don't | 10:33 |
| jack2 | hi | 10:34 |
| Ubuntu5446 | i recently upgraded to gutsy, but everything is slow now | 10:34 |
| rama_8086 | ikonia, I create a website i used two files: index.php and details.txt , when i type http://anysite.com/details.txt it showing the content but i don't want to display that content | 10:34 |
| Epicenter | Hello! I am looking to reinstall Ubuntu but "Gutsy" has Xorg v1.3 which has serious issues with the siliconmotion card in my laptop. I want to get an older version that has 1.2. Which would you guys recommend? Thank you! | 10:34 |
| mohamed | ikonia: I used synaptic package manager but there is a dependency which I can't resolve could you help me with it? | 10:34 |
| gob1029 | hey all, i'm trying to solve a problem with my laptop+ubuntu+sound. when i plug in headphones or external speakers, the sound will play out of the external devices, but will continue to play out of my laptop's internal speakers. any idea on how to stop this? | 10:34 |
| Ubuntu5446 | it's pretty annoying, either i boot into vista but cant try anything since I'm not in ubuntu, or I'm in ubuntu but it takes seemingly forever for any pages to load up | 10:36 |
| bazhang | Ubuntu5446: you have a question? | 10:36 |
| Ubuntu5446 | oh yeah sorry | 10:36 |
| Ubuntu5446 | bazhang: yeah sorry, my laptop is slow since I upgraded to Gutsy | 10:37 |
| JangMunho | Ubuntu5446: Upgrade is not recommend. | 10:37 |
| Ubuntu5446 | bazhang: I was wondering if you could help me figure out what is wrong | 10:37 |
| bazhang | Ubuntu5446: from feisty? | 10:37 |
| === RichardL_ is now known as rml | ||
| Ubuntu5446 | bazhang: yes | 10:38 |
| cpk1 | JangMunho: how is upgrade not recommended from feisty? | 10:38 |
| JangMunho | Ubuntu5446: seems you should try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all" | 10:38 |
| hrnt | any idea when the vmsplice exploit is fixed? | 10:38 |
| JangMunho | Ubuntu5446: That command is slow, too. | 10:38 |
| bazhang | Ubuntu5446: if you provide more details then possibly the folks here can help | 10:38 |
| * syc_ off | 10:38 | |
| JangMunho | Ubuntu5446: But I think it may help | 10:38 |
| Ubuntu5446 | JangMunho: I will try your suggestion | 10:39 |
| bazhang | hrnt: likely already upstream | 10:39 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | To install KDE on my ubuntu box the backages I just need to install is kde and kde-core? | 10:39 |
| bazhang | kubuntu-desktop Learning-Ubuntu | 10:39 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | packages* | 10:39 |
| hrnt | bazhang: how can i get it? | 10:39 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | Ty bazhang | 10:39 |
| Epicenter | Why can't I download 7.04 anywhere? Just 6.06.1 and 7.10? I just want the next step down from 7.10 that has Xorg 1.2; Xorg 1.3 has major problems with my Silicon Motion-based video card. | 10:40 |
| Epicenter | Or is 7.04 ill-advised to install? | 10:40 |
| Learning-Ubuntu | bazhang, INstalling kubuntu-desktop says it will install several packages along with OO.org . If I already have it in gnome will it install it again? | 10:40 |
| Epicenter | 6.06.1 won't install; it hangs trying to mount the root filesystem. 7.10 didn't. | 10:40 |
| oboy03 | hello | 10:41 |
| === Learning-Ubuntu is now known as Filled-VOid | ||
| bazhang | Learning-Ubuntu: not sure there--started out with kde ;] | 10:41 |
| oboy03 | i partitioned my Hd into 3 parts, the file system, home, and the swap | 10:41 |
| Filled-VOid | bazhang, Ah np Ill find out by installing it :) | 10:41 |
| oboy03 | why cant i see the home partition in ubuntu? | 10:41 |
| bazhang | hrnt: wait like the rest of us? is there some urgency to this? | 10:41 |
| oboy03 | i can only see file system? | 10:41 |
| maskn | ubuntu installer can't see my partitions (/dev/hda), any tips? | 10:42 |
| bazhang | Epicenter: 7.04 is still supported | 10:42 |
| cpk1 | Epicenter: you can probably just install Xorg 1.2 after installing gutsy | 10:42 |
| Epicenter | cpk1: How do I downgrade Xorg without screwing my system up badly? | 10:43 |
| bazhang | oboy03: you have a home directory? | 10:43 |
| oboy03 | yeah | 10:43 |
| Epicenter | It looks complex; all this stuff with 'pinning' packages etc | 10:43 |
| hrnt | bazhang: well, it is a local root exploit... | 10:43 |
| bazhang | oboy03: not real clear on your question there; did you log in as root | 10:43 |
| cpk1 | Epicenter: get the 1.2 deb and then use "aptitude hold" | 10:44 |
| === Filled-VOid is now known as Filled-Void | ||
| bazhang | hrnt: proof of concept to be exact | 10:44 |
| hrnt | bazhang: and i am running a server with many local users | 10:44 |
| cpk1 | Epicenter: after installing the 1.2 deb | 10:44 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: i was thinking like in windows (i know this is not windows) when you partition, u have c: and d: | 10:44 |
| Epicenter | cpk1: but there are so MANY xorg packages, don't I need to do this for all of them? | 10:44 |
| oboy03 | my question is how do i know if the home directory is in d: | 10:44 |
| phix | hey | 10:44 |
| hrnt | bazhang: for the exploit? | 10:44 |
| oboy03 | or the /home partition | 10:44 |
| bazhang | hrnt: if you cannot wait there is a patch--though that means compiling kernel you know | 10:44 |
| cpk1 | Epicenter: also here is a list that has feisty http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com/ | 10:44 |
| telexicon | How do you disable the beeps when changing your volume using keyboard shortcuts? | 10:45 |
| bazhang | oboy03: bit different then in the ##windows world the way linux sets up its filesystem | 10:46 |
| Ubuntu5446 | JangMunho: Should I close everything down (including leave IRC) while dpkg-reconfigure is going on? And how long do you think this will take? | 10:46 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: if i have a /home partition and my / got wiped, will the /home still be there? | 10:46 |
| bazhang | oboy03: if / got wiped you are in trouble | 10:47 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: yes but is my /home still safe? | 10:47 |
| JangMunho | Ubuntu5446: That will last a long time, because all your packages will be reconfigured. You don't need to close everything... | 10:47 |
| bazhang | oboy03: you explicitly set up a seperate /home partition? | 10:47 |
| oboy03 | yes | 10:48 |
| ubud_ | what is the "control, alt, del " beside xkill in terminal for ubuntu? | 10:48 |
| bazhang | oboy03: then if you want to reinstall or do whatever then it wil remain safe (barring unforeseen accidents of course) | 10:48 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: i was thinking that if / got messed up, my /home is still safe | 10:48 |
| cpk1 | Epicenter: not sure, you might be able to just put xserver-xorg-core on hold since that is the 1.3/1.2 version you are talking about | 10:48 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: do u recommend my partition setting? | 10:49 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: im still experimenting with linux, and i want my downloaded files to be safe | 10:49 |
| bazhang | oboy03: commendable to be sure--I always forget to set a seperate home partition ;[ | 10:49 |
| neeh | Hello, I want to capture traffic and show grhapics from people (servers) that consumes more, wich program can I use? | 10:49 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: because maybe later i wanna try a new distro but i dont want to lose my downloaded files | 10:50 |
| bazhang | oboy03: yes that would work--most likely you would want to ask the distro channel about it beforehand though | 10:50 |
| bazhang | oboy03: mandriva pclinuxos do respect it, though I suspect fedora does not, at least from prior experience | 10:51 |
| Mushrooms | hello again >.< sorry.. I have another question.. how should I configure ubuntu for using my external monitor to "extended default screen"? | 10:51 |
| neopsyche_ | hello | 10:51 |
| cpk1 | oboy03: you /home partition should be pretty safe, you should always be able to mount that partition unless you have somethinig fatal happen | 10:51 |
| oboy03 | bazhang: so i see my home partition as one in file system, but they are actually separated partition ryt? | 10:51 |
| Ubuntu5446 | JangMunho: "You don't need to close everything..."? Would it make things go noticeably faster? And by a long time, do you mean a day, or just a couple hours? | 10:51 |
| Epicenter | cpk1: trying 7.04 first, and then if it doesn't install I guess I'll go back to Gutsy and pray I can downgrade X | 10:52 |
| bazhang | oboy03: if you set up a seperate partition for home then you are okay | 10:52 |
| neopsyche_ | what mode should i use to write iso image as when i place ubuntu 6 into drive it reads find (OFFICIAL CD) but when my own burn of ubuntu variant is written to disk it says it finds no bootable disk??? | 10:52 |
| cpk1 | Epicenter: alright, good luck | 10:52 |
| neopsyche_ | what mode should i use to be atble to make the disk bootable? | 10:52 |
| ArM-eye | AMON-RA PPL! | 10:52 |

| bazhang | neopsyche_: sounds like you are burning as data or not burning at a proper speed | 10:53 |
| neopsyche_ | bazhang: i set speed to 4.7 .. what mode should i use for burning? data? | 10:53 |
| JangMunho | Ubuntu5446: It doesn't matter if you run some small apps. The process mat last about 1 or 2 hours. it depends... | 10:53 |
| cpk1 | oboy03: when you installed ubuntu you selected to have a / partition and a /home partition, correct? | 10:53 |
| neopsyche_ | im using k3b now instead of default | 10:53 |
| bazhang | neopsyche_: right click on the iso file and open with cd/dvd creator is what works best for me | 10:53 |
| bazhang | neopsyche_: no not as data | 10:54 |
| oboy03 | cpk1: correct | 10:55 |
| Mushrooms | hmmm can anyone please lend me their expert opinion? | 10:55 |
| Ubuntu5446 | JangMunho: Thank you! I will let you know (if you're still around) whether it works or not. By the way, just curious, how is it that there are so many helpful people here? Just like to help, or any sort of cross-purposes here? | 10:55 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: expert? heh--we're the best you get | 10:55 |
| cpk1 | oboy03: so then your /home should be relatively safe, you can still partition over on accident and whatnot, but if you ruin / it should still be fine | 10:55 |
| Mushrooms | >___< ok, this confuses me. in windows when you first install it, you have to go through all of the CD's and install all the drivers for the hardware | 10:56 |
| oboy03 | cpk1: so as long as /home partition is safe, files are safe... copy that | 10:56 |
| bazhang | Ubuntu5446: just giving back to the community | 10:56 |
| Mushrooms | does ubuntu use those same files? | 10:56 |
| Mushrooms | or... | 10:56 |
| cpk1 | oboy03: make sure you keep track of the dev point to prevent any accidents with fdisk... | 10:56 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: many drivers are native, or in the restricted drivers if proprietary | 10:57 |
| Mushrooms | yeah i tried to update using the restriced drivers | 10:57 |
| Ubuntu5446 | Interesting...well, I am very new still, but I very much like the feel of the community. | 10:57 |
| Mushrooms | but apparently i don't need it | 10:57 |
| Joetheodd | Does anyone here play World of WarCraft on Ubuntu? | 10:57 |

| Mushrooms | bazhag: yep, i got my wireless working, installed ubuntu, got pidgin and all that going, haven't managed to get any music playing yet, but now i'm trying to configure my external monitor so it can act as an extension to my primary monitor... but i don't know how to do it TT^TT | 10:59 |
| Ubuntu5446 | is that supposed to be Latin? pretty bad at it | 10:59 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: well first of all you should install ubuntu-restricted-extras; you may also want to visit www.medibuntu.org to get the dvd playback enabled | 10:59 |
| Joetheodd | So, I've determined that installing the package "ubuntu-desktop" might help me. :) | 11:00 |
| Mushrooms | i tried to open some mp3 files with rhythmbox | 11:00 |
| Mushrooms | but it had some import errors | 11:00 |
| mercurycc | anybody there? | 11:01 |
| Pascal_1 | hello | 11:01 |
| Pascal_1 | i've got a problem with the installation of ldap on an ubuntu gutsy : when i make "apt-get install ldap-utils libpam-ldap libnss-ldap", i'vnt the configuration files (pam_ldap.conf; libnss-ldap.conf....) is there a manipulation to do to have to=hose files | 11:01 |
| bazhang | mercurycc: aye | 11:01 |
| Joetheodd | Mushrooms, I like xmms better. It seems to have all its dependancies (as far as mp3) built in. | 11:01 |
| mercurycc | bazhang, i have a question | 11:01 |
| bazhang | ask away mercurycc | 11:01 |
| mercurycc | bazhang, when i press ctrl alt f4, i will enter tty right? | 11:02 |
| Mushrooms | Joetheodd: excellent, so i should grab that off the repositories in a similar way to how i grabbed opera? | 11:02 |
| bazhang | mercurycc: does it not? | 11:02 |
| mercurycc | bazhang, but how can i go back to GUI? | 11:02 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: whats an ops call? | 11:02 |
| bazhang | ctrl alt f7 | 11:02 |

| mercurycc | cool | 11:02 |
| mercurycc | thanks a lot | 11:02 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: you said see above did not see what you referenced | 11:02 |
| Joetheodd | Mushrooms, do you use Synaptic package manager, or apt-get from the terminal? | 11:03 |
| Mushrooms | synaptic package manager | 11:03 |
| Mushrooms | i don't know how to use apt-get yet | 11:03 |
| Joetheodd | Mushrooms, go ahead and search for xmms | 11:03 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: small steps ;] | 11:03 |
| lordmorgoth | hey guys, i wanted to install the latest stable release of alsa-base so i compiled them from source, the problem is that now there is no sound detected by the gnome applet. any ideas ?? | 11:03 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: is there some kind of issue with the writer or something? | 11:03 |
| Joetheodd | Mushrooms, and then yeah, check and click. :) | 11:03 |
| Smegzor | I removed hibernate from my shutdown panel. How do I get it back? | 11:03 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: and try amarok if you want something more full flavored than xmms ;] | 11:04 |
| Joetheodd | bazhang: Ubuntu is so dynamic, I find myself going to Windows for reasons unknown for a year at a time.. and now I'm trying to remember everything I need to upgrade from breezy :P | 11:04 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: did you try just burning a data disk? | 11:04 |
| Mushrooms | bazhang and Joetheodd: i got it searching, but it returned with a lot of hits, with xmms and xmms2 | 11:05 |
| bazhang | Joetheodd: breezy? wow that goes back a ways ;] | 11:05 |
| boubbin | how to cut sound from an avi video and save it to its own sound file ? | 11:05 |
| lordmorgoth | Mushrooms, u can try exile, it's for gnome, amarok was built for kde, though it works good on gnome. u can try songbird too, it's amazing | 11:05 |
| bazhang | exaile iirc | 11:05 |
| jimcooncat | If you get xmms, I'd suggest getting streamtuner while you're at it. It's a nice index to internet radio that launches xmms. | 11:05 |
| Joetheodd | bazhang, yeah, that's the latest cd I got from shipit :P | 11:05 |
| Mushrooms | LordMetroid: which one do you recommend for a noob | 11:06 |
| lordmorgoth | umm anyone to help me with alsa ?? | 11:06 |
| bazhang | hehe | 11:06 |
| LordMetroid | Mushrooms: of what choices? | 11:06 |
| Smegzor | nevermind. I found where I removed it, and its back now ^^ | 11:06 |
| LordMetroid | I always used gnome | 11:06 |
| Mushrooms | exile, amarok, xmms, songbird... and any others | 11:06 |
| LordMetroid | Even when it was unvieldy | 11:06 |
| LordMetroid | mplayer | 11:06 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: it is exaile | 11:06 |
| Smegzor | Is suspend still crashy? | 11:06 |
| lordmorgoth | Mushrooms, all are str8 forwards and easy :) it's a media player :P just play :D | 11:06 |
| julian | is it possible to have my local copy of Eclipse (or any other IDE) compile on a remote machine, and run there? | 11:07 |
| Mushrooms | bazhang: i see sorry >.< | 11:07 |
| Mushrooms | LordMetroid: i used mplayer and gmplayer when i was using windows, it was completely awesome, because it just plays, and plays anything | 11:07 |
| Mushrooms | woops wrong nickname | 11:07 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: guess so. | 11:07 |
| Mushrooms | lordmorgoth >.< | 11:07 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: for video you might also want to check out vlc | 11:07 |
| kbrooks | Mushrooms, mplayer/gmplayer works on linux too. | 11:07 |
| Survivorman | LordMetroid, I think Mushrooms meant exaile, and I think Listen is nice too. | 11:07 |
| prince | bazhang: I have a question. May I ask...? | 11:07 |
| kbrooks | !ask | prince | 11:08 |
| bazhang | prince only the one though ;] | 11:08 |
| ubotu | prince: 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. :-) | 11:08 |
| Mushrooms | so i should get str8? | 11:08 |
| lordmorgoth | Mushrooms, ? | 11:08 |
| Mushrooms | oh lol i'm very sorry >.< i'm getting tired and i'm not reading this very well | 11:08 |
| Mushrooms | hahaha | 11:08 |
| LordMetroid | Even as I am a n00b using linux, I always used mplayer or xine... Lately though VLC has been nice to me | 11:08 |
| bazhang | haha | 11:08 |
| LKC | i was looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone and was wondering how do i do step 2 of setup for iphone | 11:09 |
| Mushrooms | well i guess i'll try xmms | 11:09 |
| bazhang | prince I was kidding ask as many as you want ;] | 11:09 |
| LKC | it has to do with wifi and im not good with that stuff | 11:09 |
| Mushrooms | but there are all these other packages that have xmms associated with them | 11:10 |
| Mushrooms | should i leave them alone? | 11:10 |
| bazhang | lkc has it been activated yet? that requires itunes does it not? | 11:10 |
| msix | Hi all: i would like to rebuild my generic kernel with 1 option added ( keeping the rest the same ) preferably in such a way that the restricted modules and all the alsa stuff still works. I think i can do that by keeping the package version the same as the installed one.. if that's the way.. how do i go about doing that ? | 11:10 |
| LKC | bazhang this what im doing has to do with wifi and "static ips and stuff im confused with that | 11:11 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: depends on the file types you want to play; if you want to play flac format then you need the plugin for that | 11:11 |
| Bodsda | can anyone help me with IDLE ?? | 11:11 |
| bazhang | lkc not sure about the iphone--just an innocent question | 11:11 |
| Mushrooms | bazhag: i see so downloading the player isn't enough, i have to go through and download the plugins for the things i want to play? | 11:11 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: if you just want mp3 then you'll be fine; do you have a large flac library? ;] | 11:12 |
| mercurycc | ah... another problem, after i installed fglrx 8.01, i cannot use ctrl alt backspace to restart x | 11:12 |
| Mushrooms | bazhang: i'm sorry >.< what's a flac library? | 11:13 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: fully lossless audio codec = flac | 11:13 |
| LKC | bazthang i have already activated its just when sycing with ubuntu with an iphone/ ipod touch you do it wireless ly and there is a step about ip addresses i need help with | 11:13 |
| prince | bazhang I have never been here before. Could you have a time to answer my question? | 11:13 |
| bazhang | prince as long as I am still breathing yes | 11:14 |
| LKC | how do i change the IP Address to an address that's outside the dynamically assigned range of your network? | 11:14 |
| Mushrooms | bazhang: i see... does that include things like .ape files? | 11:14 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: aye | 11:14 |
| prince | bazhang : Thank you...^^ | 11:14 |
| Mushrooms | bazhang: i only have 2 .ape files >.< the rest are .mp3s | 11:14 |
| Imagine1 | is this channel for help too? | 11:14 |

| neopsyche | can someone please help me burn bootable iso to cd? | 11:15 |
| kbrooks | Imaginal, yes | 11:15 |
| Mushrooms | bazhang: success ^-^ xmms is now up and running and playing music, though i see it has some problems reading japanese and korean characters | 11:15 |
| bazhang | akaihen: yes | 11:15 |
| neopsyche | if i insert ubuntu original cd into the drive it sees the disc but with my own write .. it doesnt see it | 11:16 |
| neopsyche | ? | 11:16 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: the language packs/language support system wide should take care of that | 11:16 |
| LKC | bazthang im not sure. Click Settings → WiFi and select your WiFi network. Click the Static button and change the IP Address to an address that's outside the dynamically assigned range of your network. This will ensure your iPhone is always contactable at the same address for syncing. is what the wiki says | 11:16 |

| dark_harmonics | only way i know shadow is to pull the cord out | 11:20 |
| bazhang | Mushrooms: not that much to learn--just install the support what you want and then you are good to go you can search for those languages in synaptic, do apt-cache search korean (or other keyword) in the terminal, or set it via locales in the menu and that will download the stuff for you--those gnome does it a bit differently than kde the idea is the same | 11:20 |

| neopsyche | odysseas : dont think so because md5 looks ok and it opens up files when i insert cd | 11:42 |
| pajamian | neopsyche: you're saying that you can successfulyl burn the iso and it will boot on some PCs but not others, is that correct? | 11:42 |

| eagle-101 | can I ask what is being done about the recent kernel exploit for existing ubuntu installs? | 11:42 |
| usr_rob | odysseas: i have a 2,5" disk in a mini-itx and i can hear that it,s being accessed every 4th second, "click-sound" as i know it will reduce the lifetime of the disk, i do not have a laptop so i do not need that power management, but nothing happens when i do that hdparm | 11:43 |
| neopsyche | pajamian: saying .. original cd works.. in other words the original ubuntu 6.06 but this is fluxbuntu i am trying to install of which i downloaded the iso.. but it doesnt want to boot on old pc.. or on this pc | 11:43 |
| shadowkernel | sudo hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda? | 11:43 |
| bazhang | eagle-101: there is a fix likely upstream--you can recompile your kernel if you are that worried about it ;] | 11:43 |
| CW | nzruto | 11:43 |
| odysseas | usr_rob: gentoo-wiki.com has a nice tutorial about hdparm, you should check it out. | 11:43 |
| shadowkernel | It seems that Windows also has the problem | 11:43 |
| pajamian | neopsyche: so the iso isn't booting on any pc, sounds like a bad iso, or it's simply not a bootable one. | 11:43 |
| CW | kehed | 11:44 |
| eagle-101 | bazhang, yeah I saw the fix... but... what about those that don't know about it... are they stuck with a vulnerable kernel >.> | 11:44 |
| usr_rob | odysseas: ;) i know, it's being disabled when i run that command, but i can still hear the click-sound | 11:44 |
| bazhang | eagle-101: likely this will be fixed sooner than flash was ;] | 11:44 |
| shadowkernel | maybe it is the sound of fan? | 11:44 |

| bazhang | neopsyche: three possible issues: one is the media is faulty/poor quality, too fast burn speed, or corrupt iso file | 11:47 |
| dark_harmonics | bad disc? bad burn? bad cd drive? | 11:47 |
| pajamian | neopsyche: did you check the md5sum of the iso image after downloading it? | 11:47 |

| neopsyche | pajamian : yup | 11:48 |
| CW | ya niya lah | 11:48 |
| pajamian | neopsyche: did you try burning again a second disk? maybe the burn was bad. | 11:49 |
| bazhang | Snow_HO: wubi? is that from a windows system? you can download the iso and burn it yourself using isorecorder2 for ##windows then boot up using that, or just install from the gutsy livecd if you already have one | 11:49 |
| usr_rob | i sould have used the ext2 on the disk | 11:49 |
| usr_rob | should' | 11:49 |
| shadowkernel | I recommend ext3fs | 11:49 |
| Snow_HO | bazhang yeah wubi is just a program that allows you to install ubuntu without having to create a partition for it and it sets up dual boot for you and all that jazz | 11:49 |
| usr_rob | shadowkernel: but extrfs access the disk every 3,4th second right | 11:49 |

| ePax | aladdinsane: Well im not so sure if you can do that... but rightclick on desktop then go to change desktop background... then theme then comstomize... and see if you can change something | 12:05 |
| shadowkernel | I am located in the mainland... | 12:05 |
| bazhang | hehe not me | 12:06 |
| taz | bazhang.. what next ... | 12:07 |
| ubud | anyone had experience in configuring mythtv? | 12:07 |
| brt3 | can i use debian apps (.deb) under ubuntu? | 12:07 |
| spunkymunky | anyone own a Dell Inspiron 531 Desktop? | 12:07 |
| shadowkernel | brt3 you may use sudo dpkg -i xxx.deb to intall | 12:08 |
| brt3 | So could i use the same repositories ? as for update? :) | 12:08 |
| dgjones | spunkymunky, yes, i've got one | 12:08 |
| bazhang | taz I am probably the last person you should ask--I turned my compiz off long ago ;] | 12:08 |
| Slart | brt3: debian apps might work on ubuntu.. | 12:08 |
| brt3 | as i am doing it right now ;) , but i dont like to risk my self in crashing my system | 12:08 |
| Slart | !deb | 12:08 |
| ubotu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 12:09 |
| taz | ok | 12:09 |
| Slart | !debian | 12:09 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 12:09 |
| Slart | ah.. there it was | 12:09 |
| shadowkernel | not necessarily but i should meet the dependency requirements | 12:09 |
| geoaxis | can any one recomend a IRC proxy , i dont wat to run irssi or bitchx in screen on my server | 12:09 |
| spunkymunky | dgjones, do you find that it takes quite a long time to boot up through the bios? mine takes like 14 seconds | 12:09 |
| brt3 | spunkymunky , you'd better ask for your problem as their might be other boxes with the same configures as dell or having the same problem | 12:09 |
| usr_rob | i have trained sanshou for a couple of years, that's the closest i come to chinese, did help my teacher (shaolin munk) with the swedish language :) | 12:09 |
| bazhang | nice! | 12:10 |
| taz | mormon1 | 12:10 |
| dgjones | spunkymunky, the only problem i had was with booting into ubuntu after grub, that would hang for about 2 minutes until i removed the quiet & splash settings | 12:10 |
| taz | i talk to some one opps | 12:10 |
| taz | not u | 12:10 |
| taz | i other private chatroon | 12:10 |
| brt3 | Slart , any suggestions of stopping the on-going update? ;) its about 30% | 12:11 |
| Slart | brt3: ctrl+c ? | 12:11 |
| taz | they asked me what my chuch.. i told them im member of the church is mormon.. anyway sorry | 12:11 |
| brt3 | So you dont suggest waiting it till it finish but anyway i feel like debian supports are more then ubuntu | 12:11 |
| pajamian | spunkymunky: is it one of the inspirions that came pre-installed with ubuntu? | 12:11 |
| spunkymunky | dgjones, Ah ok. Mine is pretty nippy after that but booting through bios seems to atke ages compared to other dells I have | 12:12 |
| brt3 | their are about 600+ updates when 0 in ubuntu also their is many updates to fix bugs in drivers for my laptop | 12:12 |
| spunkymunky | pajamian, no it was a win vista one | 12:12 |
| Slart | brt3: it's your computer... debian and ubuntu handle updates differently.. if you think debian feels more up to date.. then by all means.. use debian | 12:12 |
| dgjones | spunkymunky, just a thought, are you talking about a 531 desktop or a 531 latitude laptop? i seem to remember that there's two different models with the same number | 12:12 |
| spunkymunky | dgjones, Its the desktop i have | 12:13 |
| jenda | brt3: this also sort of means that Ubuntu goes for the more stable, while debian for the more up-to-date... at least so I understand it :) | 12:13 |
| brt3 | Slart , i am going to use it , when i finish downloading all its cd's ;) | 12:13 |
| dgjones | spunkymunky, mines the laptop | 12:13 |
| Slart | brt3: hehe | 12:13 |
| pajamian | heh, gotta love dell model numbers, they make so much sense | 12:13 |
| daedra | what music player does everyone use here? | 12:14 |
| brt3 | jenda that makes non sense , as opensuse ,fedora and others giving better support in updates | 12:14 |
| spunkymunky | dgjones, ah ok...I think its a inspiron 531 problem...i have seen it on the net being talked about i thought i would just ask here see if anyone has the same problem | 12:14 |
| Slart | brt3: I don't know about better.. it's different | 12:14 |
| jenda | brt3: alright, up to you ;) | 12:14 |
| brt3 | But i hope the new hardy which is TLS , that fixs many bugs | 12:14 |
| Joetheodd | daedra, xmms | 12:15 |
| Pici | brt3: LTS, and it is. | 12:15 |
| brt3 | Jenda , i will try few alpha distros before i am going to compile all my drivers , as i feel they arent working fine | 12:15 |
| gocciadisangue | hi | 12:16 |
| spunkymunky | dgjones, when i first got the comp it took about 14 secs to get through the bios boot, i downloaded the new bios update to 1.0.8 and it nukes any power mangement in ubuntu..i had to find a way to turn off acpi and apm to make the pc shut down when i wanted to and show bothe processor cores | 12:16 |
| gocciadisangue | may you help me? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55597/ | 12:16 |
| daedra | Joetheodd: i was thinking about trying Quod Libet - looks interesting | 12:16 |
| brt3 | Pici , misspelled it coz i wrote all L-T-S in one time , so it goes as tls :P (Long Term - Support) | 12:16 |
| spunkymunky | dgjones, still takes 14 seconds to get through bios | 12:16 |
| pajamian | spunkymunky: at what point does the delay happen? | 12:16 |
| spunkymunky | pajamian, at the bios screen with the dell logo | 12:17 |
| dgjones | spunkymunky, right, thats not good, sounds like some sort of bios bug or conflict, hopefully there's somebody in the forums with an answer for you | 12:17 |
| spunkymunky | pajamian, I posted on the dell forums answering to another guy that has the problem | 12:18 |
| pajamian | spunkymunky: some bioses have a fast boot setting or something similar in the CMOS. If it is turned off (or if a complementary slow boot setting is turned on) then bootup can be pretty slow | 12:18 |
| NullNone | Hello All, How can i remove icons from dialog buttons in XFCE ? | 12:18 |
| pajamian | I would look through your CMOS settings to see if there's such an option. | 12:18 |
| pajamian | spunkymunky: the other possibility is something is failing and timing out on bootup during the POST. | 12:19 |
| spunkymunky | pajamian, there is a video on you tube of someone doing a boot of a insp 531 and it does the same thing! abotu a 20 sec wait...i think it could be a bug in the bios...certainly a bug in the acpi or something | 12:20 |
| moDumass | hey all, how do i update fstab? | 12:21 |
| spunkymunky | pajamian, i also read with dismay that the code of acpi is written in part by microsoft :P | 12:21 |
| gocciadisangue | who can help me? my blender crash | 12:22 |
| mohamed | the following command doesn't boot the kernel could you please help me | 12:22 |

| mich54 | hey guys , is there any "borland c++ compiler" for linux ? | 12:32 |
| shadowkernel | you may use gcc instead | 12:33 |
| shadowkernel | gcc+emacs is better than Borland C++ | 12:33 |
| meezfoghi | i already install mpd..but i dont know how play mp3 file.. what command | 12:33 |
| jpatrick | !info g++ | mich54 | 12:33 |
| ubotu | mich54: g++ (source: gcc-defaults (1.59ubuntu2)): The GNU C++ compiler. In component main, is optional. Version 4:4.1.2-9ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1 kB, installed size 40 kB | 12:33 |

| moDumass | how do i do this? | 12:33 |
| moDumass | !fstab | 12:34 |
| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 12:34 |
| meezfoghi | !info mpd | 12:34 |
| ubotu | mpd (source: mpd): Music Player Daemon. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.13.0-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 137 kB, installed size 416 kB | 12:34 |

| moDumass | hmm, its a txt file | 12:36 |
| moDumass | any one know how to make a thumb drive bootble in linux? | 12:36 |
| Faust-C | meezfoghi, there is a howto on the ubuntu wiki iirc, you'l have to install a client as well for mpd | 12:36 |
| Faust-C | moDumass, google will have pleanty of howtos, life hacker had one for ubuntu | 12:37 |
| daedra | meezfoghi: MPD is a daemon, meaning you need a frontend to control it | 12:37 |
| daedra | meezfoghi: this can be from your machine or remotely | 12:37 |
| meezfoghi | oh..ic | 12:37 |
| _Lucretia_ | anyone here using a samsung yp-p2 with feisty? | 12:38 |

| dsfwefs | anyone here use those promise controllers? not the raid ones, just plainjain ata/100 eide ones? | 12:43 |
| o0splitpaw0o | ok | 12:45 |
| dsfwefs | anyone here use those promise controllers? not the raid ones, just plainjain ata/100 eide ones? question is can i run 2 or 3 of those in the same box, or will there be IRQ conflicts? | 12:45 |
| erUSUL | dsfwefs: there shouldn't be conflicts afaics | 12:46 |
| o0splitpaw0o | question, I want to run a command to display my current kernal revision. anyone know the command? | 12:46 |
| dsfwefs | erUSUL, even the same make/model and stuff? | 12:47 |
| elkbuntu | uname -r | 12:47 |
| o0splitpaw0o | elkbuntu, thanks | 12:47 |
| elkbuntu | o0splitpaw0o, uname -a gives even more info | 12:47 |
| NET||abuse | Hey guys.. this usb stack crashing on me everytime has to stop,, anyone able to tell me what i can do to reinitialize the usb devices so i can use my mouse again? | 12:47 |
| o0splitpaw0o | elkbuntu, swsome | 12:48 |
| dsfwefs | erUSUL, when it boots up, it's got its own little screen after bios, before grub, and says the card's bios, and prints the drives connected, then loads grub, so i'm assuming if there's 3 ,it would do it 3 times? i don't have the hardware, and i'd hate to buy 2 more controllers and put them in to find out they don't work together. | 12:48 |
| NET||abuse | at present, if i connect a usb device there are zero messages in /var/log/messages | 12:48 |
| NET||abuse | is there anywhere else i can look? | 12:48 |
| * o0splitpaw0o swings bad 80's keyboard | 12:48 | |
| Tyczek | Hi, do you know how to enable suspend and hibernation in kernel 2.6.24? I was compiling by "master thread kernel how to" and chose slab instaed of slub... so it should works | 12:48 |
| elkbuntu | NET||abuse, tail dmesg | 12:49 |
| NET||abuse | elkbuntu, nooo,, you can't tail another command | 12:49 |
| erUSUL | dsfwefs: i do not have the hardware either i just saying that this is not msdos or win95 irq cnflicts are very rare nowadays | 12:50 |
| elkbuntu | NET||abuse, meh, just dmesg then | 12:50 |
| Pici | NET||abuse: dmesg | tail | 12:50 |
| Faust-C | dmesg | tail | 12:50 |
| Faust-C | dmesg | tail | grep foo | 12:50 |
| elkbuntu | right... this is why i need sleep | 12:50 |
| elkbuntu | i forgot all about pipes :-/ | 12:50 |
| dsfwefs | erUSUL, alright man, i'll take your word for it, buying 2 more controllers and 8x500gb drives... | 12:50 |
| NET||abuse | they don't work | 12:51 |
| NET||abuse | you can't have a streamed dmesg it would seem | 12:51 |
| Pici | NET||abuse: It worked fine here. | 12:51 |
| jarto | 127.0.0.1 samppa | 12:52 |
| NET||abuse | anwyay,, i have messages just saying "hub 5-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1" | 12:52 |
| jarto | Agh | 12:52 |
| dsfwefs | NET||abuse, device pulling too many amps | 12:52 |
| NET||abuse | dsfwefs,, hmm | 12:52 |
| dsfwefs | got another of the same? | 12:52 |
| NET||abuse | dsfwefs, it's only the rf dongle to my wireless mouse | 12:52 |
| dsfwefs | NET||abuse, try it in a different linux box see if dmesg spews the same | 12:53 |
| dsfwefs | it'll rule out host hardware problems | 12:53 |
| NET||abuse | it couldn't possibly pull too many amps | 12:53 |
| elkbuntu | NET||abuse, it could be if the port is b0rked | 12:54 |
| celebi61 | a laha biyosiste | 12:54 |
| NET||abuse | well,, it's an old laptop,, but it usually works for a while, or atleast untill i unplug and replugin things | 12:54 |
| erUSUL | dsfwefs: you know my word as Linux itselfs comes with "...absolutly no warranty..." XD | 12:54 |
| NET||abuse | then if it stops working, i can reboot,,, and then it'll work for any amount of time up to a few hours | 12:55 |
| NET||abuse | but rebooting to solve the problem is absolutely rediculous.. i have to find out why it gets borked like this.. | 12:55 |
| elkbuntu | NET||abuse, how old? it wouldt be usb 1 would it? | 12:55 |
| NET||abuse | elkbuntu, is there a way to check,, it would be unusual,, maybe 2.5 years, maybe 3 | 12:56 |
| NET||abuse | it's a laptop, HP nx6110 | 12:56 |
| elkbuntu | ha, it'll be usb 2 | 12:56 |
| NET||abuse | in the dmesg output,, the number infront of the messages eg.. [11358.484000] is always incrementing | 12:57 |
| dsfwefs | erUSUL, haha, this might be an expesive guess | 12:57 |
| NET||abuse | what is it's relevance? | 12:57 |
| dsfwefs | but i'm out, work in 3 mins, | 12:57 |

| AtlaWare | sorry, dualhead problems, xorg correctly configured, extende desktop, the grafical login start correctly, the mouse go over in the two monitor, but when I login, the server X stall and after 20 second restart, someone can give me some help ? | 13:01 |
| Mania | lollo, can you answer me ? | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | AtlaWare, thats weird. what video card? | 13:02 |
| AtlaWare | ati radeon 9550, with proprietary driver | 13:02 |
| AtlaWare | i use compiz, i have disable it, but is the same, with dual head | 13:03 |
| AtlaWare | with one only monitor all work :( | 13:03 |
| Epicenter | Hello! I am looking for a VERY, VERY fast file manager for X. I used to have XFE but now I am running feisty, and it seesm to be in Gutsy only. Can anyone make a recommendation? Thanks! :) | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | Ive only used Dual montiors with Nvidia. Yoyu may want to check the dualhead wiki/guides - there may be some issue with the ati drivers | 13:04 |
| ikonia | Epicenter: what's wrong with nautilus ? | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Epicenter, you could always compile xfe if its not on feiaty. | 13:04 |
| Epicenter | ikonia: it is outrageously slow | 13:04 |
| Epicenter | It can take 5-10 seconds for a window to open | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | Slow? What kind of chip you got? A Dorito? | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 13:04 |
| Epicenter | Crusoe, 1 GHz, 256mb of RAM, SiliconMotion graphics. | 13:05 |
| Epicenter | "Not fast" | 13:05 |
| AtlaWare | Dr_Willis, is very strange, because if start login screen, corectly, why gnome don't start? is request different set in xorg? | 13:05 |
| rafael_ | nick o40mlg | 13:05 |
| ikonia | Epicenter: I guess thats down to individual configs and perceptions | 13:05 |
| Pici | Epicenter: You could try Thunar. | 13:05 |
| Epicenter | Gnome is slow, KDE is slow, XFCE is slow. so I am using EDE :) | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Im thinking you may have some deeper issues Epicenter - I ran Gnome on a Pent 1. 100 and it was useable.. | 13:05 |
| Epicenter | EDE is fast as all get out | 13:05 |
| Epicenter | Dr_Willis: maybe it's this graphics chipset | 13:05 |
| Epicenter | also the HDD is a 1.8" iPod style disk :) | 13:06 |
| Epicenter | benchmarks at 1/5th the speed of your usual SATA drive | 13:06 |
| bazhang | heh | 13:06 |
| thrope | hi - im trying to install some packages, but it keeps asking for the cd. I dont have physical access to the machine - how can I force a download? | 13:06 |
| === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek | ||
| Dr_Willis | Gee that may be the issue. :) since the file manager wants to read all the files to get thumbnails and other info. | 13:06 |
| Epicenter | but, XFE is fast. | 13:06 |
| cpk1 | thrope: edit out the cd repo in /etc/apt/sources.list | 13:06 |
| odysseas | thrope: remove the cd line from sources.list | 13:06 |
| thrope | thanks | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | You could disable all previews and stuff.. or heck try 'mc' in a terminal. thats about as fast a file manager as you can get. | 13:06 |
| bazhang | can screen be used as a file manager? ;] | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | screen and mc - I recall some issues doing that however... | 13:08 |
| Epicenter | DR_willis: prefer to stay X11 :) | 13:08 |
| Slart | the "places" tab in nautilus has a list of all my hard drives, among other things.. what determines how these items are sorted? can I change the order somehow? | 13:08 |
| Epicenter | nautilus uses 70-100% of CPU for 15 seconds to launch, then takes 2 seconds to draw a simple window... | 13:09 |
| Epicenter | even in EDE | 13:09 |
| thuskins | what gui do you guys develop c or c++ with? | 13:09 |
| Epicenter | although, it just drew a DESKTOP window! | 13:09 |
| Epicenter | why the hell did it do that? I just want a file manager. | 13:09 |
| Pici | !code | thuskins | 13:09 |
| ubotu | thuskins: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, eclipse, pida | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Epicenter, you need to launch the gnome file manager with some options - or it will also take over the desktop | 13:10 |
| Slart | nautilus handles the desktop and other stuff too.. if you just want a file manager... try mc.. terminal based. .fast | 13:10 |
| Da_Putzler | hi guys, any idea why I would have 3x gnome-vfs-daemon's running ??? | 13:10 |
| thuskins | i've been using gedit... and it's waaaay bad at navigation... anyone recommend anything? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | other 2 pane file managers, gentoo, filerunner, perhaps oothers... :) | 13:10 |
| Da_Putzler | thus: try leafpad, nice little editor | 13:10 |
| Slart | thuskins: SCI Edit is another editor.. a little better | 13:10 |
| Slart | thuskins: sorry.. Scite text editor is the name | 13:11 |
| thuskins | i mean, specifically for programming and code navigation | 13:11 |
| Da_Putzler | ohhh... soz dude | 13:11 |
| Epicenter | slart: I need it to be X11, sorry | 13:11 |
| thuskins | np | 13:11 |
| Slart | Epicenter: then thunar would be my suggestion | 13:11 |
| Epicenter | Is there a FAST one for x11 besides xfe? | 13:11 |
| Epicenter | I'll try it | 13:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Epicenter, gentoo, filerunner, others. search the package manager for 'file manager' | 13:11 |
| * Dr_Willis tests out xfe. and decides to use mc instead. | 13:12 | |
| Da_Putzler | can anyone guess why I would have 3 instances of gnome-vfs-daemon running at one time ??? | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | gnome-commander - nice and fast file manager for the GNOME desktop | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | 13:12 | |
| Slart | Da_Putzler: you've mounted 3 filesystems that need that daemon? do I get a cookie now? | 13:12 |
| Da_Putzler | ?? I only have my ext3 filesystem with ubutntu installed and 1 /home partition... | 13:13 |
| Da_Putzler | but u can have a cookie anyhoo | 13:13 |
| Slart | Da_Putzler: I only have one.. | 13:13 |
| Filled-Void | Hi all What does "Get latest wine git tree (or cvs)." mean and where do I get it | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | just 1 running here also. | 13:13 |
| Da_Putzler | I never had 3 before, it's just after the latest linux image updates that this is happening | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | !cvs | 13:14 |
| Da_Putzler | and I dunno how to get rid of two | 13:14 |
| ubotu | cvs is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system; it helps to manage releases and to control concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. See: https://www.cvshome.org/ | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Filled-Void, git and cvs are ways of compliling from source, staying up to date wht a project as it changes , leting you easially make new builds. | 13:14 |
| Filled-Void | Dr_Willis, So I need to download the source for Wine? Im pretty new to Ubuntu unfortunately :x | 13:15 |
| docmur | Hello | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Filled-Void, i would suggest you stick with the debian packages then. and not mess with source | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !wine | 13:15 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 13:15 |
| Mushrooms | hello everyone, I was wondering, does anyone use LaTeX here? | 13:15 |
| Slart | Filled-Void: you can download the entire source every time they release a new version.. or you could just download the stuff that has changed. .git lets you do that.. update a source tree in an efficient way | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | theres some repo for wine that has the newer versions.. i just dontknow the url for it. | 13:15 |
| Epicenter | got XFE to run. There's a .deb on the author's site that works perfectly once libfox-1.6-0 is installed. I can't imagine why it's not in feisty :) | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb | 13:16 |
| Epicenter | It is crazy fast :D | 13:16 |
| docmur | I have a server I admin remotely that I use for torrents and stuff, question when I load my torrent software up rtorrents it good and well but then when I close my ssh session from my end and go back into the server I can't seem to get that same rtorrent window back which out killing the process and starting it. | 13:16 |
| Filled-Void | Slart, Dr_Willis, Thanks . yes I know that Wine would do that . but Im gussing im not to supposed to install Wine from its repos if thats the cae where do I get the source and then apply Git if that i the process. | 13:17 |
| Filled-Void | Dr_Willis, Thank you Ill check that link | 13:17 |
| docmur | Is there a way to back ground it and when I log on bringing it back to the forgrond | 13:17 |
| Pici | docmur: use screen. | 13:17 |
| Pici | !screen | docmur | 13:17 |
| ubotu | docmur: screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen | 13:17 |
| Slart | Filled-Void: don't mess with git if you don't have to .. go to www.winehq.org click the download link and follow the instrucions | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | using cvs/git will require you to do a bit of work.. not syre what you would gain by it either. | 13:17 |
| Da_Putzler | does anyone know off-hand where I can find the script/text that runs the gnome-vfs-daemon's ? | 13:17 |
| loa | where in ubuntu i can found hibernate.conf | 13:17 |
| loa | ? | 13:17 |
| Slart | loa: run "locate hibernate.conf" | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | loa, try 'locate hibernate.conf' | 13:18 |
| loa | already) | 13:18 |
| * Slart has oiled his fingers today =) | 13:18 | |
| * maximilion bids good afternoon | 13:18 | |
| loa | there no such file | 13:18 |
| Slart | loa: then you don't have one | 13:18 |
| cpk1 | loa: try running updatedb first | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont have one either. :) | 13:18 |
| Slart | no hibernate.conf here | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | !find hibernate.conf | 13:18 |
| Filled-Void | Dr_Willis, Slart I wanted tot ry it cause of this http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+COD4&back=HOWTO+INDEX+Wine+Games | 13:18 |
| maximilion | Is there a channel for people that design graphics on Linux/Ubuntu? | 13:19 |
| ubotu | File hibernate.conf found in hibernate | 13:19 |
| Mushrooms | Does anyone recommend a particular front end for LaTeX that I should use? In windows and MikTeX I used to use TeXnicCenter... and was wondering if there were anything similar | 13:19 |
| loa | i found /etc/default/acpi-support, but there are no option to unload all modules( | 13:19 |
| Slart | Filled-Void: if you look at the wine site you can get the latest version as a deb... it will only be max two weeks old | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Filled-Void, its likely that the wine repos - have a new enough version to run that game.. | 13:19 |
| Slart | Filled-Void: when they release a new version you'll have to wait.. oh.. say about 2 days for the debs to appear | 13:19 |
| Filled-Void | Ahhha thanks Dr_Willis and slart that makes my task much much easier :D | 13:20 |

| Mushrooms | emma: yep | 13:24 |
| emma | Texmacs might be what you want. | 13:24 |
| emma | It works slow for me, and feels bloated but I think it might do that. | 13:24 |

| Da_Putzler | Apart from BUM (Bootup Manager) what other programs can I look at to disable services and daemons... I seem to have multiple's running for some reason | 13:24 |
| Slart | or just plain emacs.. or vi | 13:24 |
| ndeah | Flynsarmy ls -l | 13:24 |
| Slart | both handle latex syntax afaik | 13:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Da_Putzler, check the package maanger for 'sysv' tools. theres a few in there. | 13:25 |
| Da_Putzler | thx | 13:25 |
| Mushrooms | Slart: if i used emacs or vi, i'll probably get a hernia trying to compile the file.... cos in windows, texcenter did it all with a magic compile button.. which vi doesn't have | 13:25 |
| emma | gedit probably does too | 13:25 |

| Pici | emma: use / | 13:31 |
| river_ | 什麼 | 13:31 |
| bazhang | english please river_ | 13:31 |
| river_ | oké, no problem :d | 13:31 |
| L3ttuc3 | emma you could use the 'find' command, and grep the output for the file you want. suppose the file you want is called 'foobar', and you're looking for it from root (/), you would do something like - find | grep -i foobar | 13:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | emma grep -i is for case insensitive search. | 13:32 |
| Slart | and it will be finished sometime next week.. =) | 13:32 |
| Helvasca | How do I schedule a process to terminate at a certain time? | 13:32 |
| Pici | L3ttuc3: er, thats an odd way of using find. | 13:32 |
| weiboyou8 | sorry!!my eglish is bad! | 13:32 |
| bazhang | weiboyou8: no worries take your time ;] | 13:32 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici or that :P, never knew the exact parameters for find. guess i'll have to look it up. | 13:32 |
| weiboyou8 | is bad! | 13:32 |
| Pici | L3ttuc3: find / -iname "*foobar*" | 13:32 |
| Slart | actually.. I use find in the same way.. just to get a list to filter using grep.. hard to stop that habit =) | 13:32 |
| emma | wow it says it doesn't exist | 13:33 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici im starting to like your solution already. | 13:33 |
| river_ | how you do that, uid begin with 1000 and +1 when i add user | 13:33 |
| Pici | L3ttuc3: I used to do it the way you said until someone told me I was doing it wrong too ;) | 13:33 |
| emma | I installed realplayer 10, I was expecting it to install itself as a plugin in Firefox but it never did. | 13:33 |
| weiboyou8 | THANKS! | 13:33 |
| Slart | Helvasca: you could schedule a kill command... | 13:33 |
| L3ttuc3 | Pici makes sense. :) | 13:34 |
| Slart | emma: I think it's a stand alone player.. I've got it installed too.. | 13:34 |
| bazhang | weiboyou8: this channel is more for support of ubuntu linux; the unix you want may have another channel though I am not sure ;] | 13:34 |
| Helvasca | Slart: I have't had alot to do with scheduleing how would I do it? | 13:34 |
| weiboyou8 | Which good system do you use? | 13:34 |
| Slart | Helvasca: use crontab.. man crontab for info and examples | 13:35 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu of course weiboyou8 ;] | 13:35 |
| L3ttuc3 | on the other hand, slightly off-topic maybe, if i'm buying a Mac USB keyboard, and hooking it up to my laptop (not a Mac) running ubuntu 7.10, would i need to go out of my way to make it work, change charsets, keymaps etc? keyboard is damn sexy, but i don't want to shell out good money on another brick or doorstop. :P | 13:35 |

| maximilion | prince: Yes, we finally got some sun here :) | 13:37 |
| L3ttuc3 | bazhang that's my issue, you installed from scratch with that keyboard already in place, so you would already have set it up at install time, im wondering if im going to have to pick my brains to get it to work properly... | 13:38 |

| erawfish | and bad eyesight | 13:52 |
| Webu | Only the first one will work. | 13:52 |
| erawfish | Webu: dmix. the reason is you don't have a hardware or software mixer | 13:52 |
| erawfish | Webu: however, firefox by default uses OSS IIRC. rhytmbox should use alsa and there should be no problem | 13:53 |

| leeping | I don't think the kernel has the module for my ethernet card | 14:16 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: 4.7 | 14:17 |
| leeping | Where in initrd.img is the list of modules to add at bootup? | 14:17 |
| bazhang | neopsyche: you set it at 4.7x? perhaps try 2x | 14:17 |
| ikonia | leeping: you don't need it in the initrd unless your netbooting | 14:17 |
| leeping | And, if my netboot fails and I drop to initramfs, how do I check the boot log? | 14:17 |
| leeping | yes, I am netbooting :) | 14:17 |

| leeping | dmesg doesn't work in initramfs | 14:18 |

| leeping | It's supposed to be in the newer kernels | 14:18 |
| ikonia | let me see if I can find anything on that card | 14:18 |
| leeping | Thanks :) | 14:18 |
| ikonia | leeping: what is a "newer" kernel | 14:18 |
| leeping | After 2.6.21 I believe | 14:18 |
| leeping | since July 2007 | 14:18 |
| ikonia | leeping: well, gutsy is on .22 I think currently | 14:18 |
| bazhang | eeepc? | 14:18 |
| leeping | Does that necessarily mean that initrd.gz for the gutsy live CD contains the module? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | leeping: yup, .21 you're correct, so if your booting from a source with a .22 kernel you should be fine | 14:19 |
| leeping | I would assume so, as well | 14:19 |
| brid55 | hello everyone | 14:19 |
| leeping | but I'm getting strange errors | 14:19 |

| leeping | The computers that I'm trying to boot do not have disk drives | 14:20 |
| ikonia | leeping: you'll have to make a custom install cd | 14:20 |
| ikonia | leeping: or at least a new initrd | 14:20 |
| bazhang | what computer leeping | 14:21 |
| leeping | Right, that means adding the correct kernel module in the initrd.gz.. | 14:21 |
| leeping | I built it from parts | 14:21 |
| leeping | However I imagine I also have to add the name of the module to a list in order for it to be loaded | 14:21 |
| neopsyche | bazhang: i downloaded the iso from here: http://modzer0.cs.uaf.edu/~hardwarehank/fluxbuntu/7.10/rc/ Is this the bootable version? | 14:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | leeping: You would find the ops can kick and ban... | 14:30 |
| fulat2k | Slart: wow... that didn't take long. by default, ubuntu only allowed 1019 ports to be opened. tested via java's ServerSocket class. | 14:30 |
| erawfish | leeping: you compile a custom kernel | 14:30 |
| dgjones | mohbana, you shouldn't need to if you are using the nvidia drivers from the repos, if you done a manual install or used envy/automatix, that what causes the problem | 14:30 |
| erawfish | fulat2k: makes no sense | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leeping: Seriously though, have you looked at things like reconstructor, | 14:31 |
| mohbana | dgjones, where are the drivers on the repo? | 14:31 |
| LjL | Neeku: well if it's a FAT file system, which it probably is, i suspect you're better off with Windows "undelete" programs | 14:31 |
| fulat2k | erawfish: i started opening port 2000 and it stopped at port 3019. after that Too Many Open Files | 14:31 |

| kippy | abcd: because else u will get dependencey problems | 15:15 |
| kippy | abcd: use apt to upgrade | 15:15 |
| d33d | Question - Where can I find good software to manage my Ipod like iTunes? | 15:15 |
| Pici | !upgrade | abcd- | 15:15 |
| ubotu | abcd-: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 15:15 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: the instructions are on the site on how to add the repos to your sources list | 15:15 |
| Pici | !itunes | d33d | 15:15 |
| ubotu | d33d: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 15:15 |
| Kuwanger | Pici: Okay, that doesn't sound like it's a solution. | 15:15 |
| ikonia | Kuwanger: why is that not a solution ? | 15:15 |
| Pici | Kuwanger: Why not? | 15:15 |
| LadyNikon | hey.. I am trying to get the netflix viewer working in firefox. | 15:16 |
| LadyNikon | any suggestions.. works great in windows : | 15:16 |
| _Oz_ | which site? | 15:16 |
| LadyNikon | :/* | 15:16 |
| ikonia | Kuwanger: if your not confident building it, submit it as a bug to the package maintainer, with your ideas for the fix, then contact him and work with him to put a fix through | 15:16 |
| abcd- | i'd just like to update today (but i dont have a cdburner to make an .iso and i dont have weeks to wait for the cd to ship) :/ | 15:16 |
| ikonia | Kuwanger: it really benfits others then | 15:16 |
| strator | <Jack_Sparrow>thanks so much for your help, if i'm not back it means it broke again :P | 15:16 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: the medibuntu site ;] | 15:16 |
| Kuwanger | Pici: Summarizing the man page, apt-cache search does a search on the package list (ie, names, descriptions, etc). It doesn't do a search on package contents. | 15:16 |
| kippy | abcd: using apt u wont need the burner.. but just follow the path i wrote above | 15:17 |
| Pici | Kuwanger: I was just saying that libperl is a valid package search as the package name is libperl-dev | 15:17 |
| Pici | !info libperl-dev | 15:17 |

| _Oz_ | thanks | 15:17 |
| bazhang | hehe np | 15:17 |
| _Oz_ | I hate being such a n00b | 15:17 |

| FloodBot1 | _Oz_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 15:17 |
| Kuwanger | Pici: Except that I asked "More generically, how do I find out what package contains libperl?" | 15:17 |
| ikonia | Kuwanger: apt-file | 15:17 |
| Kuwanger | Pici: Ie, I was asking for a way to be able to always find a requested file, assuming some package provides it. | 15:18 |
| bazhang | Kuwanger: you asked and were answered | 15:18 |
| Pici | Kuwanger: Sorry, I gave you the answer, but not the correct method. | 15:18 |
| abcd- | kippy, so i just do apt-update ? | 15:18 |
| MrPiracy | i did some partition changes here and now i get the grub prompt instead of the menu. how can i fix that? | 15:18 |
| * Kuwanger is installing apt-file now, and hopefully it is the answer. | 15:18 | |
| d33d | abcd-, no sudo apt-get update | 15:18 |
| ikonia | MrPiracy: re-install grub | 15:18 |
| abcd- | ok thanks | 15:18 |

| MrPiracy | ikonia: ok, when i type find /boot/grub/stage1 in grub prompt, it says file not found | 15:23 |
| ikonia | _Oz_: thank you | 15:23 |
| kurumin_ | ai need instal sound car in linux | 15:23 |

| aroo | kurumin_, what language? | 15:23 |
| _Oz_ | which packages should I look for in synaptic? | 15:23 |

| ubotu | kurumin_: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 15:24 |
| MrPiracy | ikonia: how can it be? i just ran a terminal and typed cd /boot/grub and all the files were there | 15:24 |
| _Oz_ | ok. | 15:24 |
| _Oz_ | I see why automatix was created, I gues. | 15:24 |
| _Oz_ | for the slightly stupider user like me. | 15:24 |
| ikonia | MrPiracy: how are you booting the system if you where just getting a grub prompt | 15:24 |
| leeping | ls | 15:24 |
| _Oz_ | I just wanted all those nice apps installed like automatix did but I was led to believe medibuntu did that just as well. | 15:24 |
| leeping | Oops! | 15:24 |
| ikonia | _Oz_: do not use automatix | 15:24 |
| leeping | sorry, wrong window | 15:24 |
| _Oz_ | ikonia: I am not. I was told not to. | 15:24 |
| PriceChild | _Oz_, they will be installed when you try to play them. | 15:24 |
| MrPiracy | ikonia: i typed the script i have on menu.lst and it worked | 15:25 |
| _Oz_ | but I did install automatix on an earlier install and it seemed pretty nice. google earth popped up, etc. | 15:25 |
| Dusten | Hi All, SO my question is about seed files and doing an automated install. I have it all working but when it gets to the Software Selection it stops and ask me to select what software and then I hit continue and the install finishes. Any one have an idea on how to make it so that that box does not come up or to have it so that continue is automaticly entered. | 15:25 |
| MrPiracy | ikonia: root(hd0,9) ... kernel /vmlinuz.... | 15:25 |
| ikonia | MrPiracy: drop the /boot from the find command your doing | 15:25 |

| ikonia | MrPiracy: your supposed to be doing that in a grub prompt - is that what your doing ? | 15:26 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> you have booted already? | 15:26 |
| Flannel | _Oz_: http://www.medibuntu.org/packages.php theres a list of packages medibuntu offers, you can also get that list in synaptic, by viewing by repository | 15:26 |
| MrPiracy | ikonia: yes, in grub prompt | 15:27 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: also you will want ubuntu-restricted-extras (though I think we had this conversation earlier) ;] | 15:27 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: yes, i am using ubuntu now | 15:27 |
| strator | Jack_Sparrow : Thanks you so much! now i'm getting 170fps :D | 15:27 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: not from live cd, from the hd itself | 15:27 |
| _Oz_ | we did but that was a different install, bazhang | 15:27 |
| _Oz_ | sorry for being redundant | 15:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | strator: great | 15:27 |
| _Oz_ | It is hard for me to remember all this stuff. | 15:27 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> how did you get the grub> prompt? you typed which? | 15:27 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: hehe better take notes next time or I wont answer! | 15:27 |
| _Oz_ | heheheh | 15:27 |
| MrPiracy | ikonia: i just tried root(hd0,9) in grub like i did before booting and it says selected disk doesnt exist | 15:28 |
| _Oz_ | it'd be nice if there was a document which summed up all the little things most people need to do after installing ubuntu | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bazhang: I can see oz searching through the channel logs trying to find what he missed | 15:28 |
| _Oz_ | instead of having to figure them out one by one | 15:28 |
| ikonia | MrPiracy: look at your /boot/grub/device.map | 15:28 |
| bazhang | Jack_Sparrow: haha | 15:28 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> sudo mount and it should show all your mountable partitions | 15:28 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: ok, when i boot into the system, i get the grub prompt instead of the menu in menu.lst, so i just typed what i have in there and it worked | 15:29 |
| ikonia | amenado: in a grub prompt ? | 15:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: Good idea, please write one from the entry level users point of view.. | 15:29 |
| _Oz_ | maybe I will | 15:29 |
| bazhang | _Oz_: there are several--let me google one up for you ;] | 15:29 |
| amenado | ikonia nope, he haid he is fully booted..so I figured he can get another term and issue those | 15:29 |
| _Oz_ | Calling me "entry level" is probably too generous, though :) | 15:29 |
| kurumin_ | instal creative sound card x.fi extreme music | 15:29 |
| maximilion | What was the keyboard for ubotu to tell me that purge line, so I can remove all Flash and get the proper 32-bit plugin? | 15:29 |

| Blinkiz | I need to troubleshoot NFS shares. How can I enable debug or something within NFS? | 15:30 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: how can it be? it says my sata drive is "b" now | 15:30 |
| amenado | but now he is saying he is not fully booted.. | 15:30 |
| MrPiracy | i have a sata drive and a ide drive, linux keep changing their order | 15:30 |
| ikonia | amenado something doesn't add up with that is being said | 15:30 |
| ikonia | MrPiracy: you're meant to use uuid to get around that | 15:30 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: it was "a" when i booted up | 15:30 |
| amenado | ikonia right, we are getting confused on which state he is at | 15:30 |

| bertodsera | it's BIOS | 15:35 |
| bertodsera | yes | 15:35 |
| bazhang | hi maximilion | 15:35 |
| bertodsera | it's only a BIOS | 15:35 |

| boris_ | hi | 15:39 |
| amenado | MrPiracy okay, now remember those what you entered in the grub prompt. and once fully booted, modify your menu.lst, and you also must get into grub prompt again to correct grub so you dont have to retype that whole thing at boot | 15:39 |
| bazhang | locsmif: that card is possible the best card you could have in linux period | 15:40 |
| mero | hi, i'm having problems with my gnome desktop under ubuntu 7.10. programs like xchat or firefox start within 1-2seconds while gnome-terminal or nautilus require a start-up time up to 10seconds - while they start up in the gnome panel it says for example Starting Terminal but there is no CPU or IO Load.. it seems something is delaying/blocking the startup of the program and as i said it only happens with the gnome programs.. any ideas? | 15:40 |
| Faust-C | screensaver locks system up anyone else experiencing this | 15:40 |
| bertodsera | what would you suggest to make it stable? I mean, something that will take me minutes to get my system back if it breaks. I'll have this: fake-raid 400Gb, sda1 320G sda2 80Gb. Can I put just the /boot on sda2 and leave everything else on the raid? and if it breaks, can I easily reinstall the /boot on another disk to have my system back? | 15:40 |
| Faust-C | screensaver will start and then when i try to log back in it crashes | 15:40 |
| locsmif | bazhang: you mean because of the licensing? | 15:40 |
| pluffsy | hi | 15:40 |
| boris_ | ive got ubuntu ultimate, though i believe it isnt important. the thing is - it sets wrong time for my timezone, and when i manually edit it, sudo says "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Feb 11 17:17:12 2008" | 15:40 |
| amenado | MrPiracy you are fully booted now..go and modify your menu.lst and if you like you can paste it in pastebin.. | 15:40 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: i am already at this stage now, i wanna run setup (hd0,9) and it says selected disk does not exist | 15:40 |
| locsmif | bazhang: atheros is not bad either though | 15:40 |
| pluffsy | do you know of any good easy to use software for using a ubuntu server as a small webhosting service? | 15:40 |
| Faust-C | boris_, ntp-date | 15:41 |
| locsmif | okay, rebooting this laptop would be best then | 15:41 |
| kpearce | Hi, I'm trying to use evolution on the latest ubuntu. Evolution freezes and has to be killed every time it tries to render a certain email, and currently it is trying to render that email whenever I start it up. I can't find in my .evolution directory where it is storing what message I was last looking at. How can I get it not start up with that email? | 15:41 |
| bazhang | locsmif: because of the support, especailly in ubuntu--I have that precise card and it is a dream ;] | 15:41 |
| amenado | MrPiracy okay so you have issued sudo grub and got the grub prompt? | 15:41 |
| locsmif | however it didn't seem to work out of the box | 15:41 |
| locsmif | i must have done something wrong | 15:41 |
| Kuwanger | ikonia: I'm going to take your advice. I'm going to search through launchpad. Perhaps then I can figure out the cause of all the bugs I've been experiencing. :/ | 15:41 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: ops, not sudo, just grub | 15:41 |
| bazhang | locsmif: you need to enable the restricted drivers, was this the gutsy live cd? | 15:41 |
| amenado | MrPiracy you must be root to issue grub | 15:41 |
| amenado | MrPiracy you must be root to issue grub to change those parameters.. | 15:42 |
| boris_ | Faust-C: whats with ntp-date ? it says command not found. sudo insists on that error. | 15:42 |
| locsmif | bazhang: yep, ok | 15:42 |
| bazhang | locsmif: also be sure the toggle switch on the laptop is switched to on--a mistake I made earlly on haha | 15:42 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> you may get the grub prompt but not able to change things if as regular user | 15:42 |
| Faust-C | boris_, means your date isnt correct somewhere | 15:42 |
| locsmif | bazhang: heh heh | 15:42 |
| boris_ | Faust-C: so how do i correct it ? | 15:42 |
| Faust-C | gnome-screen saver crashes/locks up system | 15:42 |
| locsmif | bazhang: i'm going to have a look then ;) | 15:42 |

| locsmif | bbl, reboo | 15:43 |
| locsmif | reboot* | 15:43 |
| Faust-C | boris_, ntp-date is the way i do, install ntp or whatever its called | 15:43 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: am going to reboot now, i'll be back if anything goes wrong | 15:43 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> darn, how many partitions do you really have? | 15:43 |

| Siegel | 7i was wondering if7 anyone could help me | 15:43 |
| amenado | MrPiracy you have done the root (hdx,y) and set (hdx) stuff? | 15:43 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: i have several .... vista ... xp ... DOS .... mac os X | 15:43 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: lol | 15:43 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: yes, i just managed to get grub setup again | 15:44 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> holly cow, you made up your mind yet? hehe | 15:44 |
| Siegel | for some rea7son the computer 7 keeps typing the 7nuber seven | 15:44 |
| boris_ | Faust-C: its already installed | 15:44 |
| amenado | MrPiracy make sure you select the correct grub, assuming you had another linux on that list | 15:44 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: haha | 15:44 |
| cannonball | Siegel: are you on a laptop? | 15:44 |
| boris_ | my error doesnt happen with synaptic | 15:44 |
| boris_ | or add/remove soft | 15:45 |
| Faust-C | boris_, man ntp | 15:45 |
| Siegel | 777777 anyone 7know why it might7 be doing this? | 15:45 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: i dont have another linux ... ubuntu is the only one | 15:45 |
| Siegel | no on a desktop | 15:45 |
| boris_ | Faust-C: manual isnt installed | 15:45 |
| boris_ | lol | 15:45 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: just for some stupid reason i decided to have /boot in a different partition | 15:45 |
| amenado | MrPiracy and correspondingly, you have to modify the corresponding device.map where your kernel sits at | 15:45 |
| dgjones | Siegel, have you tried a different keyboard, could well be something stuck under the key | 15:45 |
| Faust-C | boris_, linux manpages.com | 15:45 |
| cannonball | Siegel: then no idea. Sounds like a bad keyboard. | 15:45 |
| Siegel | 7777no i pugged out the key7board and it still happens | 15:45 |
| amenado | MrPiracy nothing wrong with having /boot in a different partition, just make sure it points there in your menu.lst | 15:45 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: ok, i'll try to boot now and see what happens | 15:46 |
| amenado | and your device.map points accordingly | 15:46 |
| cannonball | Siegel: bad keyboard ports happen on occassion too. Is it a USB keyboard or a PS2 keyboard. | 15:46 |
| Siegel | 77777777ps2 | 15:46 |
| pezz_ | gnnnfff | 15:46 |
| Siegel | 77it doesnt happen in 7windoze | 15:46 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: my device.map says (hd0)/dev/sda (hd1)/dev/sdb | 15:46 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: not much help, is it? | 15:47 |
| cannonball | It looks like it just prints a 7 every few seconds. I suspect some app is messing with your console. | 15:47 |
| * amenado suspects if MrPiracy gets hold of virtual box or vmware, he'll load it up with different os'es | 15:47 | |
| Vram | Hi. How can I make a .wav be smaller but still preserve it's audio quality ? | 15:47 |

| shawnselig29 | would i ahev os slector active while i install ubuntu? | 15:48 |
| MrPiracy | amenado: sorry, hdb15 .... linux keep changing it | 15:49 |
| Siegel | 77777777777do ony of you have7 any idea what i could do to 7find the root of the probl7em? | 15:49 |
| AsH_ | Vram: I don't think you can convert it to anything that a mobile phone supports without loosing quality | 15:49 |
| amenado | MrPiracy-> am glad you're having a ball with those other os'es...next time you assist others in their needs..hehe | 15:49 |

| ikonia | tribaldata: nothing launched, what about the command prompt, anything out of that | 16:14 |
| cheesypieces | ikonia, i've tried the upnp plugin in rythmbox but it wouldn't let me install it | 16:15 |
| cheesypieces | so i'm looking for alternatives | 16:15 |
| tribaldata | ikonia: : tribaldata@tribaldata:/usr/lib/firefox$ firefoxtribaldata@tribaldata:/usr/lib/firefox$ | 16:15 |
| ikonia | cheesypieces: thats a different issue. | 16:15 |

| fagina|sleep | I managed to install (removed quiet and added nosplash) | 16:16 |
| fagina|sleep | but now when tryingto boot from the hd | 16:16 |
| fagina|sleep | it just goes blank again :( | 16:16 |
| tribaldata | ikonia: /usr/bin/firefox | 16:16 |
| Ackdar | fagina|sleep, have you tried waiting | 16:16 |
| ikonia | tribaldata: so as a nonprivileged user do "/usr/bin/firefox" | 16:16 |
| Ackdar | I have the same problem | 16:16 |
| cheesypieces | ikonia, do you have any ideas other than using rythmbox? i'm not sure what you mean by just 'upnp' | 16:16 |
| fagina|sleep | Ackdar to be honest, no :s | 16:17 |
| ikonia | cheesypieces: any software that streams via upnp will be fine | 16:17 |
| fagina|sleep | I tried ctrl+alt+del to reboot and it didn't even beep.. | 16:17 |
| Ackdar | the boot screen doesn't work well in gutsy in my experience | 16:17 |
| Ackdar | just wait a couple minutes | 16:17 |
| cheesypieces | ikonia, do you have any suggestions? | 16:17 |
| fagina|sleep | Ackdar hmm okay | 16:17 |
| Ackdar | it should go straight to login | 16:17 |
| ikonia | cheesypieces: I use mythtv without issue, but thats over kill | 16:17 |
| writeout | how do i remove all the configs, and all files that installs with ltsp package? | 16:17 |
| writeout | so i can do a "freshinstall" | 16:17 |
| fagina|sleep | Ackdar okay, i'll try that, thanks | 16:17 |
| ikonia | writeout: use the remove option in synaptic | 16:17 |
| tribaldata | ikonia: yeah but this doesn't work, it is not starting anything i try doing this then ps -aux | grep firefox and grep come back with nothing | 16:18 |
| Ackdar | no problem :D | 16:18 |
| writeout | ikonia: will all the configs be removed? | 16:18 |
| ikonia | tribaldata: you won't find anything with ps if it's not launching | 16:18 |
| leeping | Jack_Sparrow: I've successfully added the module for my network card to the ubuntu live CD! | 16:18 |

| leeping | The NFSmount won't work | 16:18 |
| cheesypieces | ikonia, i'll try mythtv, thanks | 16:18 |
| Ackdar | writeout, the synaptic should temove any files associated with that package | 16:18 |
| leeping | I think it's a problem with the script | 16:18 |
| tribaldata | ikonia: No not yet going yo right now | 16:18 |
| Ackdar | remove* | 16:18 |

| CreativeEmbassy | i have this computer mostly set up for that already :-) | 16:19 |
| writeout | CreativeEmbassy: all of em? what do you mean? | 16:20 |
| CreativeEmbassy | but rhythmbox apparently doesn't use gnome's proxy settings | 16:20 |
| ikonia | tribaldata: there should be, but I can't remember the exact name | 16:20 |
| CreativeEmbassy | and I can't find a setting for it | 16:20 |
| CreativeEmbassy | it can't connect to the net | 16:20 |
| Ackdar | writeout, any way you can manually delete them, or do you not know which config files go with what? | 16:20 |
| tribaldata | ikonia : ok thanks i'll dig and se | 16:20 |

| Learning-Ubuntu | roddersg, Hmm but if its all being installed to a predetermined point than would that work? | 16:35 |

| writeout | Jack_Sparrow: apt-get does not remove configs. | 16:46 |
| nixnoob | Ackdar, why don't you double click your modem in the list there and check that the phone number and account info is there, also check that modem port is correct and that all the options in the options tab are checked... then hit ok | 16:47 |

| === livingwater is now known as Dimitree | ||
| writeout | Pici: yes, purge removes more, but not everything, like the configs for example | 16:47 |
| Pici | writeout: Purge removes configs in /etc/ | 16:47 |
| writeout | however i have not installed it with aptitude | 16:47 |
| roddersg | davey1 - I don't want to install the lpr drivers, it hangs | 16:47 |

| writeout | Pici: why is the configs still there then? | 16:48 |
| noodlesgc | writeout you'll have to do something like rm -R /home/yourname/.packagename | 16:48 |
| Ackdar | fagina|sleep, then what's my problem with the boot screen | 16:48 |

| krim | 'aptitude purge package' doesn't remove everything does it? I think I've done that and reinstalled something and had everything set up just like it was before. | 16:49 |
| fagina|sleep | something about fd0 (floppy drive) | 16:49 |
| writeout | dont i need to install the package through aptitude to remove it with aptitude? | 16:50 |

| Jack_Sparrow | krim: But was it installed with aptitude and not apt-get? | 16:50 |
| RoboCop | when will the next version of *buntu going to release ? | 16:50 |
| Ackdar | writeout, probably not | 16:50 |

| Hammer89 | how do I set up a keyboard shortcut to open a specific program? | 16:53 |
| roddersg | davey1, if you follow the discussions elsewhere, you have to install the lpr driver first and then the cupswrapper | 16:53 |
| krim | Jack_Sparrow: Just tried purge and then install again to make sure I hadn't imagined the whole thing and yeah, everything in /home/user/.purple was still there. | 16:54 |
| nixnoob | hey whats that package that gives random messages and ascii art in console when you open a console? | 16:54 |
| roddersg | davey1, in a previous installation, it screwed up my system because I did not have lpr installed | 16:54 |

| Jonathan_L | "Installed" | 16:59 |
| pepperjack | nixnoob: id assume there is a starup package for it but manually i suppose you could add it to the bootmisc.sh script like gksu /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh and scroll down to the motd line and like change the last to [ -f /etc/motd.tail ] && cat /etc/motd.tail && cowsay $(fortune) >> /var/run/motd or something im sure there is an easy package for it though | 16:59 |

| sipior | Jonathan_L: i see. well, the trick is to reboot your machine without the ethernet cable, and save the ifconfig and routing data to a file when you are connected via wireless | 17:12 |
| sipior | Jonathan_L: you shouldn't have to touch the router itself | 17:13 |
| Jonathan_L | sipior: I will. Wait a few minutes. | 17:13 |

| Guerra | dude, anything for 3d | 17:16 |
| Hammer89 | Jack_Sparrow: Yeah... I got <alt>q opening the desired program | 17:16 |
| writeout | Guerra: yeah, but i use envy instead | 17:16 |
| Guerra | Envy? What's that? | 17:16 |
| writeout | its a automated installed for ati/nvidia binary drivers | 17:16 |
| nixnoob | DRebellion, i think i found it | 17:16 |
| Pici | !envy | Guerra writeout | 17:16 |
| ubotu | Guerra writeout: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 17:16 |
| Jonathan_L | sipior: Now I'm rebooting! | 17:16 |
| Ackdar | ... | 17:16 |
| writeout | not supported by ubuntu though, but it works great for me and all my computers | 17:16 |
| DRebellion | nixnoob, ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/ | 17:16 |
| Ackdar | Wvdial didn't work... | 17:17 |
| === Macen_ is now known as Macen | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | Hammer89: What program are you trying to do that does not work | 17:17 |
| Guerra | ubotu: dude, the restricted driver DOES NOT work on my 2900 | 17:17 |
| Guerra | everytime I boot up after installing it | 17:17 |
| Guerra | my screen is black | 17:17 |
| nixnoob | DRebellion, yea i fixed it but thanks | 17:17 |
| Guerra | and won't boot into the GUI | 17:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !worksforme | 17:17 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 17:17 |
| writeout | Guerra: try the binary driver through envy | 17:17 |
| Ackdar | Guerra, it seems everyone has that problem | 17:17 |
| DRebellion | nixnoob, put fortune in your .bashrc | 17:17 |
| Hammer89 | Jack_Sparrow: the shortcut was to open gnome-do... I was going to use the super key... but I set it to <alt>q instead because that wasn't working | 17:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | writeout: Bad advise | 17:17 |
| Guerra | Yes, and I want to find someone who has figured a way around it. | 17:17 |
| writeout | Jack_Sparrow: why | 17:17 |
| Guerra | writeout, you using gutsy with this driver? | 17:18 |
| writeout | yes, binary | 17:18 |
| Pici | writeout: We don't support Envy in this channel. | 17:18 |
| writeout | Pici: which i said. | 17:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Read up what the bot posted about envy | 17:18 |
| Ackdar | Guerra, why were you talking to ubotu... it's a bot | 17:18 |
| writeout | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 17:18 |
| Guerra | Dude, I'm new. So what? | 17:18 |
| Ackdar | -_- | 17:18 |
| Ackdar | no need to explode all over us | 17:19 |
| nixnoob | DRebellion, where does it go? if i just paste the command to the bottom of .bashrc itll run each time i open a terminal? | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hammer89: I set <Super>f to open firefox and works fine | 17:19 |
| illumanti | hi | 17:19 |
| Guerra | writeout: IM me with the instructions for this driver. WIll it enable 3d support? | 17:19 |
| DRebellion | nixnoob, yep | 17:19 |
| nixnoob | DRebellion, k thnx | 17:19 |
| Ackdar | nixnoob, WvDial didn't connect | 17:19 |
| Guerra | I'm a 100% linux noob. the only command I know is sudo, and that's not even a real command. | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hammer89: Has to be something simple.. try it again | 17:19 |
| writeout | ok, but if restricted drivers doesnt work, and envy works, it would be ok to say that solution to somewone, while sayin that envy is not supported here. | 17:19 |
| illumanti | please go to #chippl, ok | 17:19 |
| ndan | thats wierd its up... everyone check out awn... i def prefer the 3d one tho http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572019 | 17:19 |
| nixnoob | Ackdar, what does console say when you try? | 17:19 |
| Hammer89 | Jack_Sparrow: that's why I'm thinking it might be something wrong with how my keyboard is set up (laptop keyboard)... some keys don't seem to work | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | writeout: no | 17:20 |
| writeout | Guerra: cant, not registered, try ubuntuforums/google. its kinda straight forward | 17:20 |
| Ackdar | it gets to WvDial Modem <*1>; Password: | 17:20 |
| DRebellion | How can i get 'echo' to print a newline (\n)? | 17:20 |
| Guerra | egh | 17:20 |
| Guerra | le sigh | 17:20 |
| Pici | DRebellion: echo -e iirc | 17:20 |
| nixnoob | DRebellion, thank you it works. | 17:20 |
| writeout | Jack_Sparrow: but restricted drivers dont work. | 17:20 |
| Pici | DRebellion: rather, echo -e should interpret backslash expressions | 17:20 |
| DRebellion | Pici, perfect, thanks. I should have read the man page. | 17:20 |
| acrimo | having an installation issue: I boot from the CD (7.10 desktop) select install/start ubuntu, then the ubuntu logo appears with the orange back-and-forth bar for about 5 minutes, then the bar stops moving and nothing happens | 17:20 |
| acrimo | it's a fairly new machine | 17:20 |
| Guerra | one other thing. My sister has a Dell Inspiron 1501 and the touch pad doesn't work on Ubuntu 64 Gutsy. Anyway I can find and install the driver to get it working? | 17:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hammer89: So it might see the super key as something else.. I get it.. | 17:20 |
| nixnoob | Ackdar, and then you shoudl enter your password and hit enter. | 17:21 |
| Ackdar | I did | 17:21 |
| Ackdar | and it did nothing | 17:21 |
| Hammer89 | Jack_Sparrow: do you know of a way to find out if that's the case? | 17:21 |
| noodlesgc | acrimo try starting in safe gfx mode | 17:21 |
| acrimo | ignore me, just found the issue. | 17:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | writeout: THis is not the place to discuss envy.. it is not needed. the restricted drivers do work when installed properly | 17:21 |
| Ackdar | shouldn't it enter the pass for me, since it's in the config? | 17:21 |
| acrimo | i was using the 32bit disk instead of the 64bit | 17:21 |
| nixnoob | Ackdar, im sorry i am stumped, yes it shoudl enter the pass for you. | 17:21 |
| * acrimo feels stupid | 17:21 | |
| Guerra | jack sparrow: Do you have an ATI 2900 series card? | 17:22 |
| Ackdar | it also gives me 4 lines of login: and on the last one, it says Login: ATDT3229414 | 17:22 |
| Guerra | If not, you don't know that. | 17:22 |
| writeout | Jack_Sparrow: what is the "properly way" ? i press the marker to install it, ubuntu downloads the package and insatlls it, i reboot to black screen or some other strange errors. | 17:22 |
| Ackdar | then it requests a pass | 17:22 |
| Guerra | 2900 restricted driver does not work. | 17:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hammer89: Not sure.. I would think if you get the keyboard setup correctly everything will fall into lace | 17:22 |
| bakcil | do you speak bosnian | 17:22 |
| bakcil | ? | 17:22 |
| Ackdar | bakcil, none of us speak bosnian | 17:23 |
| bakcil | okay | 17:23 |
| writeout | Ackdar: someone might | 17:23 |
| noodlesgc | bakcil http://home.freeuk.com/iandart/ | 17:23 |
| Hammer89 | Jack_Sparrow: Okay... I'll have to look into that then | 17:23 |
| Ackdar | writeout, it is highly doubtable | 17:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | writeout: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will let you fine tune it or setup your monitor type correctly with v/h rates | 17:23 |
| Ackdar | writeout, this is an enlish only channel anyway | 17:23 |
| Slap_stick1 | hey, if i have scp'ed a file and my connection dropped can i use rsync to basically continue where it left off so i dont have to transfer it all again? | 17:24 |
| leeping | Jack_Sparrow, Debian live is now up and running off a netboot! | 17:24 |
| leeping | Thanks again for your help! | 17:24 |
| leeping | I now have a sense of accomplishment | 17:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | writeout: MOre often than not it is a monitor that cannot be probed for the correct rates | 17:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | leeping: glad you got it... Welcome to Ubuntu | 17:24 |
| Guerra | and how do you fix that, Jack? | 17:24 |
| leeping | thanks :P I've been using ubuntu for over a year, it's sad isn't it? | 17:24 |
| leeping | I need to get in the community some more | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guerra: You look them up and put them into the xorg. | 17:25 |
| writeout | Jack_Sparrow: so the most problem with the restricted drivers user have, is invalid monitor settings? | 17:25 |
| Guerra | I've been having problems with my monitor in Ubuntu too. Nec AccuSync 75f | 17:25 |
| Guerra | What do you mean? | 17:25 |
| Ackdar | anyone wish to tell me why I can't activate my modem from System > Administration > Network? I has the checkmark, but is won't connect | 17:25 |
| Ackdar | it* | 17:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | writeout: If they get the right drivers installed, very often it is a v/h rate that will be wrong or something to do with compiz and then we have a whole array of other things. | 17:26 |
| eth01 | . | 17:26 |
| Guerra | jack, if I set my freaking monitor to 640 to whatever, and 60 hz | 17:26 |
| Guerra | it should fucking work | 17:26 |
| Guerra | excuse my language | 17:26 |
| menllyos | i recently installed OSS v4 to be able to use my xfi, but now im getting this error on boot every time: "The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:Deskbar_Applet"." anyone can help me with that? | 17:26 |

| msix | Hi all, i apt-getted source linux-image, changed highmem from 4 to 64, then i did the make-kpkg thing. Now, why do i end up with a package with a different version? is there a way to remake the package so that i can alter it, but not get a different version ? | 17:27 |

| nixnoob | We are all here trolling for people to abuse the rules so we can gang up on them LOL. | 17:28 |

| bastid_raZor | nixnoob; speak for yourself. i troll to learn | 17:28 |
| Guerra | Seriously nixnoob. This is ridiculous. | 17:29 |
| eth01 | let's change the subject folks. | 17:29 |
| writeout | the graphiccard/monitor problem in linux/ubuntu is really bad compared to windows. i think many potential new ubuntusers falls off on this | 17:29 |
| sipior | Jonathan_L: yeah, your router isn't doling out an ip address. after connecting, try running "sudo dhclient ath0" | 17:29 |
| nixnoob | bastid_raZor, just kidding =) | 17:29 |
| maximilion | By the way, anyone know how to get rid of the delay before a submenu is opened in the main menu? | 17:29 |
| Jonathan_L | After connecting? | 17:29 |
| Guerra | I apologize for using profanity, that wasn't even directed at anyone, and you all jump on me. | 17:29 |
| writeout | ati is evil | 17:29 |
| Guerra | Ridiculous. | 17:29 |
| Guerra | instead of helping me | 17:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guerra: May I have a quick pm | 17:29 |
| bastid_raZor | nixnoob; now i charge three pence for walking over my bridge | 17:29 |
| Ackdar | Guerra, maybe you should learn some respect instead of whining about a problem that we are trying to help you with. It seems like you are blocking us out for your own solutions... | 17:29 |
| writeout | Guerra: what are your nationality? | 17:29 |
| Guerra | Does it matter? | 17:29 |
| eth01 | i'll ask again, can we please change the subject of conversation please. | 17:30 |

| Hrishikesh | is there any way to recover yahoo messenger password in version for linux? | 17:30 |
| Jonathan_L | sipior: What do you mean? | 17:30 |
| eth01 | Hrishikesh, no. | 17:30 |
| Guerra | It's kind of silly writeout, but that's life. | 17:30 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 17:30 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 17:30 |
| Guerra | Anyways, back to my problem. | 17:31 |
| shishirm1 | Hrishikesh: what do you mean recover? | 17:31 |
| sipior | Jonathan_L: try typing that command in a terminal, then try ifconfig again. see if there's an ip address for the ath0 device | 17:31 |
| Hrishikesh | I tried .ymessenger directory | 17:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Guerra: May I have a quick pm | 17:31 |
| nixnoob | The liberal use of ubotu in here is just lovely. | 17:31 |
| Guerra | ATI HD2900 Pro. Restricted Drivers. | 17:31 |
| maximilion | Guerra: Just ask a question about your monitor. Probably the guy that wrote the Linux driver isn't here, and probably, Nec don't spend a cent on making proper drivers. | 17:31 |
| Guerra | Go ahead Jack. | 17:31 |
| * Ackdar agrees with writeout, but refers him to #ubunto-offtopic | 17:31 | |
| eth01 | Jack_Sparrow, he is not identified to services ;) | 17:31 |
| Ackdar | uhhh | 17:31 |
| Ackdar | #ubuntu-offtopic | 17:31 |
| DRebellion | Pici, can we change the !offtopic trigger to reflect that the channel/person is talking offtopic instead of just listing the ubuntu channels? | 17:31 |
| Guerra | max: Sadly. I need to get a new monitor, but that's a bad solution to the issue really. How is Samsung support? | 17:31 |
| eth01 | look's like we'll need some staff in here... | 17:32 |
| eth01 | which are *active* | 17:32 |
| writeout | i volonteer | 17:32 |
| Guerra | okay so do I have to be registered to accept IMs? | 17:32 |
| writeout | yes. | 17:32 |
| parkinm | not to recieve but to send i believe | 17:32 |
| jernster | you have to spell volunteer correctly to be considered a candidate, sorry. | 17:32 |
| xochilt | hello | 17:32 |
| Ackdar | !offtopic is Please stay on topic in this channel. If you are not here for support, please visit #ubuntu-offtopic instead. | 17:33 |

| Guerra | I installed 64 bit Ubuntu, she has an Inspiron 1501. | 17:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | 17:34 |
| ubotu | 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 | 17:34 |

| DRebellion | Hrishikesh, it is probably a one-way hash. the short answer is: no. | 17:35 |

| maximilion | kimmey2k4: Check the site before you click, but appears legit. | 17:39 |
| ex0dus_ | good evening | 17:39 |
| Ackdar | queuetue, Ubotu is not a real person, no need to thank it | 17:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | encrypt128bit: Yes, you can post a detailed link about the problem, but if you say something to indicate what it is about, video, audio, drives, setup .. someone with experience in that area will go look. If not then you stand the chance of being ignored | 17:39 |
| Guerra | even bots need loving. | 17:39 |
| sipior | Jonathan_L: my first thought was that the wireless router may have a mac filter on it, but you mentioned that it works fine under windows, and i presume this is the same wireless card | 17:39 |
| Jonathan_L | sipior: My laptop have an on/off switch for WLAN. I just leave it on, nothing else. | 17:39 |

| sipior | Jonathan_L: you may want to try the ndiswrapper approach (running the windows drivers under linux), until the problem can be sorted out. optionally, you can try grabbing the latest madwifi build and hope that the problem is fixed | 17:46 |
| sipior | Jonathan_L: good luck, hope you get it up and running | 17:47 |

| Guerra | l00kp: is there a network icon at the top right next the date? | 17:59 |
| genii | DiceyDaysx: ext3 is preferable. | 17:59 |
| sipior | Jonathan_L: it's possible they don't have one. you may just have to try it out. or google for their mailing list postings on the subject | 17:59 |
| DiceyDaysx | Yeah, but I may need my mac install to read it | 17:59 |
| doc|work | tosate: sorry, have never done it :/ | 17:59 |
| l00kp | guerra: No, I have that function disabled. I already tried putting network keys in gnome's network manager. It didn't work. One of the guys here redirectedd me to wpa_supplicant. | 17:59 |
| doc|work | tosate: perhaps just download from your isp's mirror, then you limit it more to your local network | 17:59 |
| Jonathan_L | I'll go find that old guide again and check if it works. This new files is 3 days fresher, so who knows | 17:59 |
| Jonathan_L | sipior | 17:59 |

| DoYouKnow | Hi! I am having trouble where xine-ui and totem are crashing when I try to play OGG video files. Is there an alternative that I can use that works or a way to fix this problem? | 18:03 |
| Guerra | l00kp: also enable the first four options in sys>adm>software sources | 18:03 |
| linux__alien | i want to remove the songs from the library | 18:03 |
| Jonathan_L | does .deb work in Ubuntu? I know Ubuntu is based on Debian... | 18:03 |
| Guerra | l00kp: and then reinstall the restricted driver | 18:03 |
| shazow | Jack_Sparrow: no, but I dont think xorg has anything to do with it, the module wont even load with modprobe nvidia (gives the error i mentioned before) | 18:03 |
| parkinm | i need a program for ubuntu that will let me change/fake the MAC address on my network card | 18:03 |

| Guerra | l00kp: Goodluck man. | 18:04 |
| clearzen | parkinm: sudo aptitude macchanger | 18:04 |
| l00kp | guerra: Already tried doing that. Someone in the chatroom here told me wpa_supplicant was my only choise. | 18:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shazow: I always like to look in there... What all have you done or tried so far? | 18:04 |
| l00kp | guerra: have you ever had success connecting to WPA encrypted wireless networks in linux? | 18:04 |
| parkinm | clearzen, thanks but sorry I should have said: my ubuntu distro currently doesnt have the net, so i need to get it using this windows pc and transfer with cd/pen drive or something | 18:04 |

| lollo | if i manually reset the system, i must do something to restore (repair) ubuntu in the next start-up ? | 18:05 |

| Odd-rationale | vinicius_: The best thing I can reccomend for you is to use another distro like Puppy Linux. It works really fast esp. on old hardware. the iso is not much more than 70 -100 mb | 20:28 |
| vinicius_ | Odd-rationale, I was thinking about that | 20:28 |
| ethan961 | DrVali_Laptop, you will probably have to get special program icons by hand, but othrer than that reinstall the human icons, I don't know the exact package | 20:28 |

| neko | hi | 20:30 |
| Nibblyn | vinicius_: well... i used an old linux distro just for partitioning... the point is that with 256mb ubuntu must find the swap partition prior booting the cd... so he can use it during install | 20:30 |

| dverweire | bummer. | 20:36 |
| dverweire | fdisk -l /dev/sda1 | 20:36 |
| dverweire | does it say /dev/sda1 is an ntfs partition? | 20:36 |

| dmarsa | burkmat, is it your windows partition? | 20:36 |
| dverweire | seems like. | 20:37 |

| dverweire | yeah burkmat, you could. is there data on there you care about? | 20:38 |
| dmarsa | yeah u can burkmat, if ur ok with whatever was on it being lost | 20:38 |
| burkmat | dmarsa: It never worked on Linux, and it always works in XP, so I'm pretty sure the drive itself works. | 20:38 |
| mkquist | Drakaen: did find your software? | 20:38 |
| Drakaen | yep... found one for both linux and win32... | 20:38 |

| dverweire | mikebot - try ctrl -alt - f8 and other combinations up to f12 | 20:41 |

| mikebot | dverweire: Oh, f9 worked...I thought that these were set in stone.. | 20:42 |
| dverweire | burkmat - do you have a windows machine you can try connecting it to? | 20:42 |
| amenado | clustermagnet-> is that a wireless nic or ethernet? | 20:42 |

| burkmat | dverweire: Yeah. It works perfectly fine, but if you want me to check something from Win I'll reconnect it. | 20:42 |
| macogw | mikebot: i think the first one is on f7 then once youve killed X / logged in again, it jumps to f9 instead of reusing f7 | 20:43 |

| PriceChild | toad__, lovely, I'd suggest grabbing the kernel headers, removing the vmsplice module then building it. | 21:30 |
| unagi | someone please help me.......i added a bad string to xorg.conf, restarted, went into low graphics mode, took out the bad string, now i cant get out of low graphics mode..........can anyone help me? http://pastebin.org/19089 | 21:30 |
| gumis | i tried adding radio=1 but it says there is no that parameter | 21:30 |
| toad__ | pepperjack Im offering CGIs, so, duh, yes | 21:30 |
| genii | gumis: Thats why I suggest MythTV help of some kind. They have lots of experience with all the different tuners and so on | 21:31 |
| burk_ | Now, whoever was helping me with the TV-Out for the laptop: I somehow managed to kill it, and without seeing anything on the TV. Any suggestions for shortcuts that might work in place of the obviously failing default? | 21:31 |
| gumis | genii: you think i must add properly tuner value to get it work? (tv is working ok without it) | 21:31 |
| toad__ | PriceChild I cannot locate the vmsplice 'module' and after recompiling my kernel the raid array aint being detected by my initrd.. (Im using a software RAID1) | 21:31 |
| PriceChild | toad__, the latter being why compiling your own kernel is bad. | 21:32 |
| genii | gumis: For instance on my em2880 based card there are about25 tuner types that work, but only 3 or 4 of those 25 that work also include the radio tuner | 21:32 |
| stroyan | Sandra24: At least log out and log in to influence the files in your session. | 21:32 |
| _Oz_ | hello all | 21:32 |
| toad__ | PriceChild I will need to anyway :) I need to install some security solution afterwards | 21:32 |
| _Oz_ | I just did ctrl-alt-f1 and my desktop disappeared and was replaced by command line | 21:32 |
| _Oz_ | how do I get back to the GUI? | 21:32 |
| genii | _Oz_: alt-f7 | 21:33 |
| Starnestommy | _Oz_: ctrl+alt+f7 | 21:33 |
| _Oz_ | ah | 21:33 |
| _Oz_ | thank you | 21:33 |
| _Oz_ | alt-f7 worked, actually | 21:33 |
| visof | the sound in ubuntu lower its sound, why? | 21:33 |
| PriceChild | toad__, i'm trying to find a fix for you | 21:33 |
| erUSUL | toad__: there is no vmsplice module afaics | 21:33 |
| genii | _Oz_: Yes, you only need the cgtrl when getting out of X not back into it | 21:33 |
| gumis | hmm, and second question | 21:33 |
| genii | *ctrl | 21:33 |
| visof | can i check it with command? | 21:33 |
| toad__ | erUSUL thats what I saw :) | 21:33 |
| arthurlight | hi | 21:33 |
| toad__ | PriceChild dont bother finding some memory patching code please :) | 21:33 |
| erUSUL | toad__: latest stable kernels from kernel.org carrie the fix | 21:33 |
| PriceChild | toad__, the fix was released to debian 6 hours ago. I'm confident ubuntu will have it *very* soon. | 21:34 |
| Kibbles | unagi: start by removing all of those redundant "subsection screen" entries. only leave the one with "depth 24" | 21:34 |
| erUSUL | toad__: 2.6.22.18 is safe from the exploit | 21:34 |
| toad__ | erUSUL yup, Im trying to install 2.6.24.2 right now | 21:34 |
| unagi | k brb | 21:34 |
| toad__ | erUSUL really ? how come ? | 21:34 |
| arthurlight | I´ve got a laptop with a corrupt windows on hd, dvd reader not working propertly (so cannot boot from windows), and no floppy drive. I´ve managed to connect the lap hd into a windows desktop through usb. Is it possible to install ubuntu into it? | 21:34 |
| gumis | i'm using this command "sox -r 32000 -w -t ossdsp /dev/dsp2 -t ossdsp -w /dev/dsp&" to play sound from my tv tuner (it transmit audio via pci bus) | 21:34 |
| testify | Is it possible to setup a WPA wireless connection that uses a static IP using network-manager? | 21:34 |
| gumis | it works, but i want to use alsa to play sound, how to change this to use alsa? | 21:35 |
| dj1 | merci | 21:35 |
| erUSUL | toad__: well the patch 17<->18 is the fix (the one ubuntu will apply for gutsy) | 21:35 |
| Rubin | testify, i dont think so. its better to make your DHCP server always give you the same IP | 21:35 |
| Kibbles | Rubin: why? | 21:35 |
| toad__ | erUSUL hmm do you have some link ? | 21:35 |
| Rubin | Kibbles, if you want it static, i mean. | 21:36 |
| toad__ | so basically I just have to use the ubuntu linux-source and recompile after applying the patch ? sounds neat :) | 21:36 |
| erUSUL | toad__: http://www.eu.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.22.18 | 21:36 |
| Kibbles | static gets old fast | 21:36 |
| Kibbles | j/k | 21:36 |
| toad__ | k | 21:36 |
| toad__ | yeah ok that wont do I guess | 21:36 |
| genii | arthurlight: The other comouter, does it also have some linux on it as well, or just windows? | 21:37 |
| genii | *computer | 21:37 |
| bullgard4 | I installed the DEB program package smartmontools. I uncommented the line 'start_smartd=yes' in /etc/default/smartmontools and rebooted. Still, Gnome system monitor does not list smartd. How to correct this? | 21:37 |
| CentHOGG | !trash | 21:37 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about trash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:37 |
| arthurlight | genii, just windows. But I could manage to go to another with linux. (using windows would be much easier) | 21:38 |
| arthurlight | for me at least | 21:38 |
| arthurlight | genii, from a linux box is it easy? | 21:38 |
| Qwexer | ubuntu comes with CUPS bundled correct? | 21:39 |
| testify | Rubin, My router doesn't support address assinging by MAC | 21:39 |
| brobostigon | Qwexer: correct | 21:39 |
| Kibbles | Qwexer: yeah, can disable but not remove | 21:39 |
| Kibbles | or so i'm told | 21:39 |

| CentHOGG | hi, would anyone know a FAQ on linux files you can delete for extra space. Besides the /var/tmp? thx | 21:40 |
| genii | arthurlight: Remember that you can dual boot as well, if you have enough hard drive space to install both. It is possible to boot up the laptop over ethernet cable to the other computer, yes. Not exactly easy I would say, but it IS a way to install without floppy,cd, etc | 21:40 |
| Qwexer | thats fine, I'm trying to get a printer drivers installed but cant seem to get it to work | 21:40 |
| Kibbles | Qwexer: can't help you there | 21:40 |

| hend | Hi, I can't get into any virtual consoles, alt+F* will make my screen go black, and I can't get back to xwindows. Only thing that helps is a reboot to get anything on the screen again. I am running fglrx drivers with a ati radeon 2600 card and a samsung 226bw monitor. Any idea what could be causing this problem? | 21:43 |
| CentHOGG | genii: thx | 21:44 |
| genii | CentHOGG: np | 21:44 |
| _elemental | hend: from within x use ctrl+alt+F* then alt+F7 to get back to x | 21:44 |
| CentHOGG | genii: that helped :) | 21:44 |
| doron | hi, how do I change the "size" of the TTY console ? | 21:45 |

| _elemental | hmmm, I dunno then, I haven't had that problem | 21:48 |
| doron | _elemental , I tried dpkg-reconfigure console with no luck | 21:48 |
| DIABLO | hello! | 21:48 |
| bieb | did you have to use the alternate CD? | 21:48 |
| dmarsa | i just installed it... the 32-bit version works fine | 21:48 |
| dmarsa | no | 21:48 |

| DIABLO | who know russian or ukrainian well ? | 21:49 |
| maximilion | How do I recursively allow user, group and admin privileges to subfolders, so that they can create new files and those new files get r/w permissions? | 21:49 |
| Dmitri | I have confirmed it works on all the latest versions of ubuntu kubuntu xubuntu etc... | 21:49 |
| jetscreamer | yeah... slow | 21:49 |

| jetscreamer | man chmod | 21:50 |
| Dmitri | someone please look at this...I can get root access on any ubuntu computer...thats crazy | 21:50 |

| * ompaul blinks | 21:50 | |
| maximilion | jetscreamer: Don't be that way. This is a more complex question than the usual man contents. | 21:51 |
| _Oz_ | which folder are fonts kept in in unbuntu? | 21:51 |
| bieb | dmarsa let me check the video card... | 21:51 |
| jetscreamer | chmod -R | 21:51 |
| doron | _elemental , I think u dont understand... thwhen I do clear the input is at the top but when I try emacs etc etc, there is one line missing, the bottom one | 21:51 |
| maximilion | jetscreamer: ...and then? | 21:51 |
| doron | even when Im using bash, when I get to the last line, its invisiible | 21:51 |
| doron | like | 21:51 |
| Riznarf | how do i create a new partition within ubuntu? | 21:51 |
| doron | scrolling extra line which I can't see | 21:51 |
| jetscreamer | then man chown :) | 21:51 |
| maximilion | Can I do gksudo from a script, and allow the program I call privileges? | 21:52 |
| bieb | dmarsa mine says Nvidia MCP67M | 21:52 |
| _elemental | doron, I understand, I just don't know how to fix that. I a similar problem to your original request but it turned out not the be the same issue | 21:52 |
| newGuy | if I want to run a command at startup, to what file do I need to add it? | 21:52 |
| maximilion | In general, what do I put in front of a scripted command, to get the password prompt? | 21:52 |
| Slart | maximilion: sudo | 21:53 |
| psycholvlan | 'ello | 21:53 |
| _elemental | maximilion sudo on the cli, gksudo in gnome | 21:53 |
| jetscreamer | maximilion: mostly, chown -R user:group /directory/whatever , then chmod | 21:53 |
| doron | :( | 21:53 |
| danand_ | hend - ok - found the page i was looking for... | 21:53 |
| psycholvlan | how do you completely remove a graphics driver? | 21:53 |
| dmarsa | erm... bieb i'm not familiar with that. mine has the 7600 and worked fine. sorry :( | 21:53 |
| maximilion | Will try it, but sometimes I don't get the pw prompt when using sudo in scripts.. | 21:53 |
| doron | _elemental , thanks anyway, about u'r dual problem, I solved it at my workstation @ work using kernel recompile .... | 21:53 |
| PriceChild | psycholvlan, depends how you installed it. | 21:53 |
| newGuy | if I want to run a shell command at startup, where must I add it? | 21:53 |
| Slart | maximilion: ah... what kind of password prompt did you want?.. sudo -u maximilion might work too.. | 21:53 |
| PriceChild | !startup | newGuy | 21:54 |
| ubotu | newGuy: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 21:54 |
| _elemental | doron, right on, I'll look into that | 21:54 |
| wil | Hi, my compiz is screwed, how do I reset the settings? I asked in #copmpiz, but it is related to ubuntu and not them because the component is built in... I tried add/remove the compiz, but it did nothing as my settings were still here | 21:54 |
| psycholvlan | oh i used envy.... but its uninstall option doesn't remove it completely | 21:54 |
| dmarsa | bieb as a last resort you could use the alternate cd and do a text install. but I'm not sure you want to go through that | 21:54 |
| PriceChild | !envy | psycholvlan | 21:54 |
| ubotu | psycholvlan: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 21:54 |
| bieb | dmarsa I am in the process of downloading the alternate cd | 21:54 |
| danand_ | hend - 1. you need to add the lines vesafb and fbcon to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 21:54 |
| maximilion | Do I have to add sudo before every command that needs privileges in the script, or just the first? | 21:54 |
| Slart | maximilion: sudo lets you use it without password 15 minutes after the password was entered.. I think | 21:54 |

| CentHOGG | hi, how is the -T switch in mkisofs very necessary? the TRANS.TBL option. thx | 21:54 |
| newGuy | if I want to run a shell command at startup, where must I add it? | 21:54 |
| psycholvlan | ok | 21:54 |
| PriceChild | newGuy, see ubotu's message above | 21:54 |
| burk_ | how do I check my gfxcard from the terminal? | 21:55 |
| jetscreamer | maximilion: all | 21:55 |
| crdlb | wil: there is a button in ccsm (aka Advanced Desktop Effects Settings) which resets all your compiz settings | 21:55 |
| maximilion | Slart: So if I play a game for 15 minutes, it can no longer save settings??:o | 21:55 |
| PriceChild | burk_, check what about it? | 21:55 |
| psycholvlan | another question.... how do you shutdown the x-server and just run the command line interface | 21:55 |
| jetscreamer | maximilion: you could make your script suid and have root own it maybe | 21:55 |
| hacim | macogw: i dont think I do :( | 21:55 |
| burk_ | PriceChild: Manufacturer. | 21:55 |
| newGuy | !boot | 21:55 |
| ubotu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 21:55 |
| maximilion | jetscreamer: Maybe? :) | 21:55 |
| jetscreamer | psycholvlan: /etc/init.d/gdm stop for a one time till next reboot | 21:55 |
| Slart | maximilion: well.. the game will keep running as root until it ends.. but you can't run a new sudo command after 20 minutes and not expect a password prompt | 21:55 |
| danand_ | hend - 2. add the lines vesafb and vga16fb to /etc/modules | 21:55 |
| psycholvlan | ok ty | 21:55 |
| jetscreamer | maximilion: maybe if you want to, and maybe if you can | 21:55 |
| maximilion | Slart: I see! Perfect :) | 21:55 |

| Iori_1 | Hi | 21:56 |
| demon_spork | When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. | 21:56 |
| bieb | dmarsa you using 7.04 or 7.10 on your HP? | 21:56 |
| ompaul | psycholvlan, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop <<< stops it now if you want to turn it off full time install rcconf and use it to disable gdm fully | 21:56 |
| demon_spork | Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. | 21:56 |
| dmarsa | 7.10 | 21:56 |
| maximilion | Slart: Would mess up game saves pretty well otherwise, right? ;) | 21:56 |
| bieb | ok | 21:56 |

| wil | crdlb, joined | 21:57 |
| hend | danand_: guess thats updating the initramfs | 21:58 |
| maximilion | Oh. Another problem. I have to call the game using another command, so I guess the other command (esddsp) will get privs and not the game? | 21:58 |
| burk_ | That ATI card link tells me its useful for anything below 9500, I've got 9600... So how do I get my TV-Out to work? | 21:58 |

| Andeh | Hi. I'm on live cd and want to resize some partitions, but i'm doing a backup first. When i open my home partition from the livecd, it shows all the folders but they are all empty. I guess this has something to do with permissions? Anyway, i | 22:38 |
| soundray | fesha: point proven -- that channel is not dead | 22:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | arnath: Agreed, but beats the heck out of a reinstall, and it just resets panels and things, al of your apps are fine, but you lose icons on the taskbar | 22:38 |
| Andeh | i'd rather backup the partition itself to a file with dd, how does this work again? | 22:38 |
| |Kamen| | ok, pure-ftp is installed, ocne again I see nothing added to the menu or desktop, I have no idea what to do to run/configure this | 22:38 |
| erUSUL | Qwexer: whereever you mounted it you have to provide a mount point that's were the drive "is" | 22:38 |
| techII | no idea what caused it, except it could have been some temporary file (cleaning out /tmp didn't help me) | 22:38 |

| arnath | mohbana: it's all fine now :P and the file that was to be deleted was also on /home, so it should've been in the trash, but hey, it's all better, no hard feelings, probably a little fs hickup or something :D | 22:43 |

| soundray | Celes: now that's silly to repeat that. Have you even tried the solution I suggested? | 22:45 |
| danand_ | bobbob1016 - don't use gedit for that type of thing - use a shell script - try looking at ways of doing it with awk or the cut command | 22:45 |
| PriceChild | Andeh, yes | 22:45 |
| bobbob1016 | soundray, Wouldn't cut -d "," delete every comma, or thing between commas, I just need to delete 4 values, keeping one in the middle | 22:45 |
| soundray | fesha: how does it crash? Can you still reboot with sysrq? | 22:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Celes: Because it is not something we have seen... | 22:45 |

| Qwexer | can you get to network files through terminal? | 22:47 |

| littlesven | Hi all | 22:47 |
| techII | ader10, installing it, or it crashing? | 22:48 |
| soundray | fesha: perhaps mythtv keeps a log of its own? | 22:48 |
| Andeh | Jack_Sparrow: sudo dd if="/dev/sda3" of="/media/500GB/Local Linux/home.bin" | 22:48 |
| lordleemo | acee1234: policy editing outbond traffic policy in the bottom box left clck add rule then choose dns | 22:48 |
| Andeh | Jack_Sparrow: Then it gave me file size limit reached error | 22:48 |
| bobbob1016 | danand_, Oh, ok, so I'd basically do "cat file.csv | cut --delimiter=, --fields=1,4" would give me the 1st and 4th lines? | 22:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Andeh: yep | 22:48 |
| fesha | soundray: yes and it says abort core dump | 22:48 |
| ader10 | techII: Well, I removed it to find out how I installed it to help a friend and I can't install it anymore | 22:48 |
| Andeh | Jack_Sparrow: What'd I do wrong? | 22:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Andeh: Are you just trying to back it up? | 22:48 |

| hvgotcodes | can anyone help me get this straightened out? | 22:52 |
| soundray | fesha: it means that the problem was a bug in the TV application, and it was triggered by a special character that was used in the epg (electronic program guide) data. | 22:52 |
| danand_ | bobbob1016 - sorry about previous to last ... use cat ... etc > newfile.txt This will output the result of that command to "newfile.txt" | 22:52 |
| soundray | fesha: once that epg entry had expired, it worked again. I've no idea whether that bug was ever fixed. | 22:52 |

| PriceChild | acee1234, chmod your data 770 perhaps? | 22:54 |
| fesha | soundray: Okay, Well I am pretty sure that isnt an issue with MythTV | 22:54 |

| fesha | soundray: most people keep trying to tell me it is a problem with ATI but I got my ATI card to work with my previous install on this system and now guides arent working | 22:56 |
| ynef | acee1234: but there's no real reason to have it 770 -- 700 is even more restricting (the second number is your group's rights) | 22:56 |
| _Oz_ | how so? | 22:56 |
| _Oz_ | just share the dvd burner? | 22:56 |
| ader10 | techII: Doesn't work | 22:56 |
| soundray | fesha: what do you mean by guides? | 22:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | can I virtualise an existing windows install in ubuntu? | 22:56 |
| PriceChild | _Oz_, I guess you could ssh in or vnc or something. | 22:56 |
| PriceChild | Paddy_EIRE, "yes". | 22:56 |
| fesha | soundray: My TV guide | 22:57 |
| _Oz_ | pricechild: that's no good, because the file I want to burn (a large file, ie a movie) is on the machine and I don't want to first copy it to the machine with the burner, I just want to burn right to the network burner | 22:57 |
| montevina | allo | 22:57 |
| techII | ader10, i would read up on "nspluginwrapper" then, since you might have to install it manually | 22:57 |
| techII | i have to go | 22:57 |
| ader10 | ... | 22:57 |
| Paddy_EIRE | PriceChild keep in mind that win was installed normally on its own partition ntfs... Is it still possible? | 22:57 |
| Kibbles_ | jay[PLUS]: op me plz? | 22:57 |
| ader10 | so much for it 'just working' | 22:57 |
| soundray | fesha: epg? | 22:57 |
| _Oz_ | copying 4gb over the network takes longer than I want | 22:57 |
| _Oz_ | so I want to skip that step | 22:57 |
| Kibbles_ | Flare183: can't talk in #jay | 22:58 |
| bobbob1016 | danand_, Thanks, that worked. Surprisingly fast too, I thought I'd have a second or two to wait, since it is a few thousand lines, but I underestimated my computer. | 22:58 |
| montevina | il ya quelqun ici | 22:58 |
| acee1234 | ynef: ok i think that and a nice modified disposable camera aka taser with one lead to the metal arm rest and the other as the shell of the computer will work at least once, ya for EE degree | 22:58 |
| PriceChild | _Oz_, not you could share it across samba | 22:58 |
| fesha | soundray: umm yes | 22:58 |
| PriceChild | _Oz_, of nfs | 22:58 |

| soundray | fesha: and your TV guide is *not* part of mythtv? | 22:59 |
| Celes | merci for the help | 22:59 |
| Andeh | Vovk: I know. I forgot I needed root priveleges to access the external hard drive. Can I make it so I don't need them? | 22:59 |
| danand_ | bobbob1016 - C# - oh oh !! :) | 23:00 |
| Vovk | Andeh: you could change the permissions of the file to be owned by you instead of root, but it's not encouraged | 23:00 |
| fesha | soundray: Yes it is | 23:00 |
| `mojacko^ | :( | 23:01 |
| soundray | fesha: so why are you saying it's not a problem with mythtv? | 23:01 |
| vix | hi... I have a question, is it possible to run multiple xserver at the same time, I need one for my tv-out, and if its possible, where can I found a guide for this | 23:01 |
| Vovk | Andeh: running alot of things as the administrative user is very unsafe - even windows is heading in the right direction with their vista user confirmation boxes | 23:01 |
| Andeh | Vovk: hmmm. Apparently I dont need root to edit the external hard disk, but even WHEN using root, it still gives me errors opening the files in my home folder? | 23:01 |
| Vovk | Andeh: hmm... how are you getting root permissions? | 23:01 |
| Andeh | Vovk: sudo | 23:02 |
| fesha | soundray: It is a problem with the ATI drivers | 23:02 |
| Andeh | Vovk: Maybe they're in use? I tried a while ago on livecd to back them up but they didnt even show up. Just empty directories in my home folder... | 23:02 |
| Vovk | Andeh: are you editing files in THE home folder or your home folder | 23:02 |
| soundray | !tvout > vix, please read the private message from ubotu | 23:02 |
| Andeh | Vovk: I just selected my home folder to copy | 23:02 |
| Andeh | Vovk: The files ARE copying but it often comes accross one it can't open | 23:03 |
| Vovk | Andeh: first of all... what exactly are you doing? copying a home folder to an external hard drive? | 23:03 |
| DareDevill | world>galaxy>universe>multiverse>___ whats next? | 23:03 |
| soundray | vix: you may also have to look at gdm configuration -- you can set multiple X instances in there. | 23:03 |
| Andeh | Vovk: yes. | 23:03 |
| jetscreamer | multidimensions | 23:03 |
| tacone | DareDevill: heaven ? | 23:03 |
| Vovk | Andeh: try "gksudo nautilus" this should open up a root folder, try copying from there | 23:03 |
| Andeh | Vovk: Exactly what I did, lol | 23:03 |
| Vovk | lolz | 23:03 |
| cafuego | DareDevill: tutrles, all the way down | 23:04 |
| tacone | cafuego: lol | 23:04 |
| Vovk | Andeh: hmm... check the permissions of the files you're copying | 23:04 |
| Vovk | Andeh: who owns them? | 23:04 |
| DareDevill | tacone technically speaking.. what is it | 23:05 |
| DareDevill | cafuego | 23:05 |
| Vovk | Andeh: you've done sudo cp /home/YOURUSERNAME /yourfile/destination/goes/here | 23:05 |
| Vovk | Andeh: right? | 23:05 |
| Kibbles_ | any1 know terminal command to install ubuntu from livecd? | 23:05 |
| vix | soundray, okay. cause im having an ati card and been trying that guide already. | 23:05 |
| Andeh | Vovk: Never mind, the only things that didn't copy were random xml files I wont need anyway | 23:05 |
| Andeh | Vovk: I have backed up what I need now | 23:05 |
| Andeh | hm | 23:06 |
| Vovk | Andeh: just because I''m curious, who owned those files? | 23:06 |
| Andeh | um | 23:06 |
| Andeh | let me have a look | 23:06 |
| tacone | DareDevill: explain your question in #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:06 |

| soundray | ader10: what have you tried? | 23:10 |
| maybeway36 | oh | 23:10 |
| Starnestommy | scjp: ask freenode staff to reset it. They're usually in #freenode | 23:10 |
| ader10 | soundray: that's a very broad question and would take a while to answer. | 23:10 |
| ader10 | soundray: Most notably, "sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" does NOT work | 23:10 |
| ader10 | at all | 23:10 |
| LordPants | hi, I'd like to recommend Ubuntu to a friend ... what happened to the LiveCD? can he still download a LiveCD to try it out without installing? (I'm a Gentoo guy myself and don't have experience with Ubuntu) | 23:10 |
| Vovk | LordPants: yes, there is a live CD | 23:11 |
| soundray | !flashissue | ader10, I take it you've considered this: | 23:11 |
| ubotu | ader10, I take it you've considered this:: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now, although it might not have yet reached all mirrors. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » | 23:11 |
| Vovk | LordPants: btw... can you help me to install gentoo? :D (we can meet on another channel if need be) | 23:11 |
| simps | Does anyone happen to know if there is a channel for help with installation of xsys (xchat plugin) on this network? | 23:11 |
| LordPants | Vovk, sure :) .... pick a channel, create one if you want | 23:11 |
| pingu | how can i copy an image from my desktop to my a cd in the cd drive with the terminal | 23:11 |
| Vovk | LordPants: IRC n00b, i dunno how to make one, i only come to this channel to help ubuntu people :) | 23:12 |
| LordPants | Vovk, just /join one that doesn't exist yet, it will be created automatically | 23:12 |
| Starnestommy | #gentoo already exists for gentoo support | 23:13 |
| Vovk | I doubt they would appreciate a person getting alot of help in gentoo installation though | 23:13 |
| danand_ | LordPants - is that why I was the only person on #uvuntu?? | 23:13 |
| pingu | how can i copy an image from my desktop to my a cd in the cd drive with the terminal | 23:13 |
| LordPants | danand_, that's probably why :) | 23:13 |
| jack-desktop | how do you get color in xchat | 23:13 |
| Vovk | LordPants: can you join /helpthegentoo ? | 23:13 |
| Scunizi | pingu, you should clarify if you want to copy an image or burn an image.. 2 different things.. | 23:14 |
| magnetron | @rainbow jack-desktop you have it | 23:14 |
| Vovk | hmm... odd | 23:14 |
| LordPants | Vovk, I'm in #helpthegentoo | 23:14 |
| ubotu | jack-desktop you have it | 23:14 |
| magnetron | meh | 23:14 |
| soundray | ader10: how does it fail? | 23:14 |
| pingu | scunizi what is the difference | 23:14 |
| jack-desktop | magnetron, i have what | 23:14 |
| Andeh | Hey, seeing as the one of the only things that won't work perfectly in Ubuntu x64 is Flash, and seeing as flash is screwed up now anyway, I might as well get x64 bit? | 23:14 |
| ader10 | soundray: The plugin just doesn't load at all, in firefox the "Install Missing Plugins" thing comes up, and I select the Adobe Flash Player, and it says flashplayer-nonfree is installed. I reinstall it and remove it etc but nothing changes. | 23:15 |
| pingu | scunizi what is the difference | 23:15 |
| Scunizi | pingu, an image is usually an iso file, like an install cd. copying is mearly creating a data cd of the file. the file is there but can't be booted to. | 23:15 |
| pingu | scunizi: ok i want to copy/burn the image to a cd so i can take it to another computer to print it off | 23:16 |
| Andeh | Scunizi: We should put that on the front page of the site, seeing as so many people just copy the iso file directly to cd :) | 23:16 |
| Scunizi | pingu, so is it an iso image or an image like "picture"? | 23:17 |
| Andeh | LOL | 23:17 |
| mEck0 | Hi! Which packet do I need for being able to format a partition to NTFS from gparted? | 23:17 |
| Brenny | Anyone know of a way to scale down the resolution? ie, run 1280x976 on a screen thats actually 800x480? | 23:17 |
| soundray | ader10: can you do a 'sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree' and pastebin the output | 23:17 |
| Andeh | pingu: get a USB stick then :P | 23:17 |
| ader10 | soundray: alright | 23:18 |
| Andeh | pingu: unless you're trying to transfer a 700 mb bitmap | 23:18 |
| pingu | scunizi: picture, what is the difference can you explain a little bit more | 23:18 |
| Andeh | hey, how come Ubuntu boots up in less than ten seconds? | 23:18 |
| Andeh | it didn't use to | 23:18 |

| pingu | andeh: what is a bit map | 23:19 |
| Scunizi | pingu, gotta run.. but you want to do an command line data burn. An image is like downloading the ubuntu install iso. Ask again for the channel "command line data burn" is the key phrase. | 23:19 |
| travisat | please stop it with the bot | 23:20 |

| andre_pl | i have a console MSN Client that i'd like to be able to control via writing to a fifo, is there some tool that can do that with me having to modify the app to read the fifo instead of stdin? | 23:21 |
| Andeh | pingu: Great :D Oh, and if you're just trying to burn photos to CD, you don't have to worry about ISO images | 23:21 |
| danand_ | pingu - a bit map is a type of image file like a jpeg | 23:21 |
| panfist | I'm trying to follow this instruction from an installation guide, but i'm not sure where it means by the firmware directory: "Unzip, then copy the following files to the firmware directory" | 23:21 |

| Andeh | 300 kb/s :( | 23:22 |
| Andeh | it won't be done for another half hour | 23:22 |
| ffm | Andeh: lol. /me has 15mbps down. | 23:22 |
| soundray | ader10: interesting -- it reports success. That's not what I get here. Never mind... does it show in the plugin list when you enter "about:plugins" as the URL in firefox? | 23:22 |
| Andeh | ffm: you must live in sweden or something then :D | 23:22 |
| j_ | Is there anyway i can make a command to shred when i right click a file ???? | 23:22 |
| ader10 | soundray: not at all | 23:22 |
| IV | good evening | 23:22 |
| pingu | andeh: ok so i dont have to worry about the iso images, it still wont let me burn to the cd it says "Error while copying to "/media/cdrom0" and on the next line it has "You do not have permissions to write to this folder." | 23:23 |
| danand_ | j_ - depending on the type of filesystem your using shred may not work anyway | 23:23 |
| demon_spork | When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. | 23:23 |
| mik3 | hi i've recently encountered a problem where my sound is way too low, example: even if i have my logitech speakers turns all the way up, and master volume and PCM toggled to it's max, the sound is only barely loud enough to hear whilst sitting a few feet from the speakers, any ideas why this suddenly happened? it wasn't always like this | 23:23 |
| demon_spork | Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. | 23:23 |
| j_ | danand_ im using ntfs and ext3 for my harddrives. | 23:24 |
| danand_ | j_ - ie shred does not work on ext3 (or any journalled) filesystem | 23:24 |
| panfist | does anyone know the path to the firmware directory in gutsy? | 23:24 |
| j_ | danand_ so what do you recommend???? | 23:24 |
| _Oz_ | I installed vista on an old wiped PC for the hell of it. | 23:24 |

| Andeh | pingu: when you put the CD in you should get a box asking you what to do with it, right? choose Burn Data CD | 23:24 |
| demon_spork | mik3, are any of the other output settings set low? | 23:24 |
| _Oz_ | Ubuntu's going on it... any other OS' I should play with? I thought about trying puppy linux | 23:24 |

| khaotik | how could i tell if when i loaded ubuntu onto my laptop if i used the whole hard drive or not? | 23:24 |
| mik3 | demon_spork : no, nothing in the gnome volume manager or speakers at least | 23:25 |
| Indiadev_Techie | _Oz_: ubuntu is a lot better than Vista... | 23:25 |
| ader10 | soundray: yes, I know, it's still not showing up. | 23:25 |
| danand_ | j_ - check the man page of shred - it should give you more info there. As for recommedations - not sure :( - encryption maybe? | 23:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | _Oz_: You are drifting offtopic again... | 23:25 |
| Andeh | _Oz_: Puppy is only actually useful if you have a $20 pc, though :) | 23:25 |
| _Oz_ | indiadev: I agree 1000% | 23:25 |
| demon_spork | mik3, open up a terminal and type "alsamixer" and hit enter | 23:25 |

| IV | no idea anyone? so scared i could lose all my data | 23:27 |
| soundray | ader10: okay then | 23:27 |
| _Oz_ | ubuntu would be killing it on this old machine | 23:27 |
| IV | : | | 23:27 |
| Andeh | lol | 23:27 |
| Indiadev_Techie | _Oz_: yes... | 23:27 |
| Andeh | _Oz_: How much you know about linux? | 23:27 |
| travisat | _Oz_: if you like the setup of ubuntu but want a really light version you can install the server version or I would suggest a base debian install and only put on what you need, for a file server you don't need X, gnome, kde, etc | 23:27 |
| demon_spork | mik3, what type of speakers are you using again? | 23:27 |
| Indiadev_Techie | _Oz_: so what's ur machine configuration.... | 23:27 |
| Andeh | _Oz_: Puppy is pretty awesome until something goes wrong :) | 23:27 |
| j_ | danand_what happens when "sudo rm -rf /" | 23:27 |
| lordleemo | pingu: places cd/dvd creator drag and drop your files etc then file write to disk | 23:28 |
| mik3 | demon_spork : they're a logitech set with a sub woofer, it's not the speakers i tested the problem with another set of speakers and a pair of headphones | 23:28 |
| Starnestommy | j_: it deletes everything on the root partition | 23:28 |
| Tyczek | hmm... is command ctrl + prscreen +b for restart system? | 23:28 |
| j_ | Starnestommy ouch. | 23:29 |
| Starnestommy | Tyczek: only if the system isn't responding to anything else, otherwise, use shutdown -r now | 23:29 |
| mik3 | gah this is annoying | 23:29 |
| demon_spork | mik3, does the set have an ipod dock? | 23:29 |
| Tyczek | Starnestommy, well... it is not working for me ;/ | 23:29 |
| khaotik | okay it says volume size 142 GB. i should have 160GB HD. did i not format it properly when i loaded ubuntu??? | 23:30 |
| mik3 | demon: no, the speakers are fine, like i said i've tested it with other speakers | 23:30 |
| Tyczek | System wasn't responding, but I wasn't able to use it... | 23:30 |
| demon_spork | mik3, We just gave one to my grandma for christmas :) | 23:30 |
| danand_ | j_ - not a good idea - you can do _alot_ of damage with a mis-typed sudo rm -rf !!! ie delete system files.... but sudo rm -rf will be no more useful in terms of security than a normal user running that command | 23:30 |
| travisat | khaotik: 160gb = about 140ish in real gb | 23:30 |
| _Oz_ | base debian install, eh? | 23:30 |
| IV | i added some GBs to my data partition with acronis partition manager, and now ubuntu does not detect the partition anymore. is it normal? | 23:30 |
| _Oz_ | no GUI? | 23:30 |
| khaotik | should i have defragmented my hard drive before i loaded ubuntu | 23:31 |
| demon_spork | mik3, I don't know what else could be wrong, it is perfectly possible that the sound card could be going out, but try "alsamixer -V" and see if anything is turned down | 23:31 |
| travisat | khaotik: no, it has to do with how hard disk manufacturers report GB and how a computer reports GB | 23:31 |
| demon_spork | I wonder what the record users for this channel has been | 23:31 |
| Ashfire908 | over 1500 probaly | 23:32 |
| khaotik | thanks | 23:32 |
| danand_ | khaotik - check with GUI tool System -> Admin -> partition tool | 23:32 |
| CBrannan | What is Ubuntu? | 23:32 |
| simps | Does anyone know of a way to use a command to indicate the speed of my network connection? | 23:33 |
| frank23 | demon_spork: there is a new record on every release day for sure | 23:33 |
| demon_spork | travisat, the hd manufacurer counts the number of bits their disk has on the physical surface, but the computer only counts the bits that are used for actual data, the difference lies where quite a large number of bits are taken up for formatting markings | 23:33 |
| CBrannan | I just joined because Charitwo told me there was a lot of people here. And ... wow. | 23:33 |
| demon_spork | Whenever I log in to my Ubuntu Feisty install, it loads the desktop and promptly the display crashes and I am back at the login screen. It still does this when I use the failsafe login, extra info: running c-f and kiba-dock. When the system first boots, It takes longer to finish loading whatever causes the crash so I have had time to hit Alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace" but even loading a different wm didn't fix the problem. | 23:33 |
| Starnestommy | CBrannan: it's a support channel for the ubuntu linux distribution | 23:33 |
| demon_spork | When I select My Ubuntu Gutsy install from the boot menu, it says "Failed to mount selected partition" even though the partition mounts fine via IFS in windows and in my Feisty install. I have made no changes to the boot options/loaders since the last successful boot of the system, which was yesterday. | 23:33 |
| demon_spork | This is serious, I can't get into either of my ubuntu installs!! fix one of my problems please so I can break this bad habit called windows | 23:33 |
| travisat | demon_spork: also the manufacturers cound MB as 1000 kb instead of 1024 kb or GB as 1000 MB instead of 1024 MB etc | 23:34 |
| Ashfire908 | CBrannan, biggest channel on freenode i think. (also what Starnestommy said) | 23:34 |
| CBrannan | Oh thanks guys. | 23:34 |

| Dante124 | Hi all. My friend took my advice and installed ubuntu on his pc. Unfortunately, he has 1gb of ram but made the swap file 512. Can I use gparted to shrink the ubuntu partition and increase the size of swap partition (btw this is all in an extended partition) | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | imaginativeone: Have you run it yet. | 23:41 |
| Andeh | meh. 70% this sucks. lol. i'm going to sleep | 23:41 |
| Andeh | see ya :D | 23:41 |
| Dante124 | later | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante124: HE would need to boot the livecd umount the partition do make the changes | 23:41 |
| Dante124 | okay. I could also boot into puppy linux off livecd and then run gparted to do that right? | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yep | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante124: orgparted live or.. well you get the idea | 23:43 |
| Dante124 | I have done that before on another pc. What size partition do you recommend if he has 1gb of ram? | 23:43 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: do you know of a way to kick-start the installation of a livecd without gdm? | 23:43 |
| djr | Andeh: I'm on 100 mbit :> | 23:43 |
| Kibbles_ | Dante124: 2xRAM | 23:44 |
| Kibbles_ | (that's what the manual says) | 23:44 |
| two_bits | I am trying to enable my nvidia driver through the restricted drivers manager | 23:44 |
| jjgalvez | can anyone help me set up my laptop to connect to an external projector, this is for work, and If I can't get this to work on ubuntu I am going to have to put XP back on it | 23:44 |
| Dante124 | so 2gb then ought to do it fine | 23:44 |
| two_bits | but it says that the software source is unavailbile | 23:44 |
| two_bits | what does this mean? and what do I do? | 23:44 |
| Kibbles_ | Dante124: 2x1024=2048 | 23:44 |
| Dante124 | LCD projector jjgalvez | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibbles_: Not sure what you mean | 23:45 |
| Sandra24 | anyway to set the mtime on file B to be the same as file A ? | 23:45 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124 yes its an LCD projector | 23:45 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: join #jay[PLUS] for a sec | 23:45 |
| two_bits | actually | 23:45 |
| j_ | are there any programs for recovering files ? | 23:45 |
| two_bits | it says the software source is not enabled | 23:45 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| two_bits | how do i enable a software source? | 23:46 |
| two_bits | so i can get the driver | 23:46 |
| Dante124 | so jjgalvez...you hook up the lcd to computer video cable and what happens? | 23:46 |
| Silvy | when updated kernels will be available (VMSPLICE issue) ? | 23:47 |
| Dante124 | My experience with LCD projectors and computers has been to always have the LCD projector ON ..BEFORE you turn on the computer. | 23:47 |
| Spencerical | doubt it | 23:47 |
| frank23 | Silvy: I'm wondering about that too | 23:47 |
| stroyan | j_: The 'tct' package says in includes 'unrm'. Finding data in removed files is very dependent on file system details. | 23:48 |
| linabhi | Realtek ALC662 need help in installing its sound drivers on ubunut 7.10 | 23:48 |
| Dante124 | jjgalvez do you have the LCD turned on before you boot up the computer? | 23:48 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, once my desktop comes up essentually nothing, if I reboot and hit fn-f8 then I can get the display on either my laptop or the projector, but again once the desktop comes it it won't go on the projector any longer | 23:48 |
| giantmidget | is there an easy way of directing a command-line apps progress output into a progress bar thingy? in fact... is it possible to make progress bars easily sort of like making message boxes with x/gmessage? | 23:48 |
| Dante124 | What brand of LCD projector? | 23:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibbles_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf reduce the color depth and restart I cant send to you in that channel | 23:48 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, InFocus | 23:48 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: lol, dammit, sorry | 23:48 |
| Leechzilla | I'm not able to use WPA 1/2 or even WEP. Please help me | 23:48 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: flare183 screwed around with settings | 23:49 |
| drarem | this might be more of a programming question, but can I send text from one terminal or file to an open terminal? | 23:49 |
| linabhi | \Realtek ALC662 need help in installing its sound drivers on ubunut 7.10 | 23:49 |
| Dante124 | Sometimes the resolution you have your computer set to (ie the desktop) can cause weird things to happen. Have you tried 800 x 600? What is the default resolution of your laptop monitor? | 23:49 |
| Silvy | Leechzilla, which wifi card? | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:49 |
| linabhi | i have no sound on my ubuntu system | 23:49 |
| Leechzilla | Silvy: Intel iwl4965 | 23:49 |
| djr | Andeh: 00:51:13 (10.84 MB/s) - `debian-40r2-i386-CD-1.iso' saved [673845248/673845248] ;) | 23:49 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: how do you figure that would help? | 23:49 |
| Dante124 | jjgalvez what is the default resolution of your monitor/desktop | 23:50 |
| jetscreamer | you want the intel hd thing linabhi | 23:50 |
| linabhi | yeah | 23:50 |
| jetscreamer | iirc | 23:50 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, 1680x1050 | 23:50 |
| drarem | I have the string, just want to send it to the terminal | 23:50 |
| Silvy | Leechzilla, its found? a lil suggestion - try ndiswrapper and windows drivers, mostly they work better | 23:50 |
| giantmidget | aaand is this the right place for such questions? (is there an easy way of directing a command-line apps progress output into a progress bar thingy? in fact... is it possible to make progress bars easily sort of like making message boxes with x/gmessage?) | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibbles_: I have seen that happen once before.. that got me back in. | 23:50 |
| linabhi | can u help jet | 23:50 |
| Leechzilla | Silvy: The card works fine without WiFi. It also detects the SSID for encrypted networks.. But I can't connect | 23:50 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: note that he didn't have it installed - it was off livecd. restart would kill the change to xorg.conf | 23:50 |
| whiter | okay, when i try to install ubuntu 7.10 with the option "acpi=off" (the only way the installer wont hang at Scanning CD-ROM) it gets to installing the base system and after findutils it gives a Debootstrap warning | 23:51 |
| Kibbles_ | Jack_Sparrow: or did you mean ctl alt bckspc | 23:51 |
| Sandra24 | touch B -r A is the command for the sake of the logs | 23:51 |
| Leechzilla | Silvy: The card works fine without encryption. It also detects the SSID for encrypted networks.. But I can't connect | 23:51 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, I just dropped it to 1024x768 and that does not work either | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Kibbles_: /j #Voyager | 23:51 |
| j_ | stroyan i can't find stroyan | 23:51 |
| whiter | so my question is does anyone know what i could do? | 23:51 |
| linabhi | \Realtek ALC662 need help in installing its sound drivers on ubunut 7.10 | 23:51 |
| Dante124 | jjgalvez I would try lowering the resolution to say 1024 x 768 or something and seeing if that makes a difference....also do you have the manual for the InFocus lcd projector? I'd give it a read and see if there is a troubleshooting guide | 23:51 |
| Dante124 | Was the LCD projector turned On BEFORE you booted the computer | 23:52 |
| stroyan | j_: tct is in universe/admin . I just installed it. The unrm in tct 'The Coroner's Toolkit' only claims to know ext2. That might with unmounted ext3. | 23:52 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, yes it was on before I turned on the computer, and I just tried lowing the resolution without resutls | 23:52 |
| Dante124 | did you try 800 x 600? | 23:53 |
| Dante124 | Also what graphics card do you have? | 23:53 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, I'll try that now, and its an Nvidia 8600 | 23:54 |
| stroyan | j_: I should warn you that the odds of recovering a removed file are really not good. | 23:54 |
| Anizuka | can someone help? every time I try to click 'extra' in the visual effects, it always says that the composite extension is not available. | 23:54 |
| j_ | stroyan so tct has unrm components?? | 23:54 |
| soundray | whiter: acpi=off should be avoided. Have you tried pci=noacpi instead? | 23:55 |
| Silvy | Anizuka,you have to install AIGLX and insert Option "Composite" into xorg.conf | 23:55 |
| stroyan | j_: tct does have an unrm command for ext2 filesystem. But I have never needed to try it out. (Backups work much better.) | 23:55 |
| whiter | soundray, ill try it right now | 23:55 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, nope that did not work either (800x600) | 23:55 |
| Silvy | Anizuka - more info can be found in ubuntu help if you look for compiz install guide | 23:55 |
| |WolF| | Question: Is there any DivX player for ubuntu? | 23:56 |
| Dante124 | jjgalvez see if this helps at all http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=38632 | 23:56 |
| Anizuka | Silvy, thanks | 23:56 |
| Leechzilla | Do I need to install something to make WPA work? My card is working fine without encryption | 23:56 |
| soundray | !divx > |WolF|, please read ubotu's private message | 23:56 |
| j_ | stroyan how do i use this tct? | 23:56 |
| Leechzilla | !wpa | 23:56 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 23:56 |
| Silvy | Leechzilla, works fine on Gutsy, WPA depends on wpa_supplicant package | 23:56 |
| Dante124 | jjgalvez sorry, that has little info in it. Tell me the model number for your Infocus lcd projector | 23:56 |
| stroyan | j_: sudo apt-get install tct; man unrm | 23:57 |
| Leechzilla | Silv: I'm using gutsy but can't connect to encrypted networks.. | 23:57 |
| whiter | soundray, it stops at Scanning CD-ROM 7% with that option | 23:57 |
| jjgalvez | Dante124, its an LP820 | 23:57 |
| soundray | whiter: okay, sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help then | 23:58 |
| stroyan | j_: Looking at tct, it probably is not the tool you are hoping for. See http://www.fish2.com/tct/FAQ.html#delete for a discussion. | 23:59 |
| Guerra | Okay. So I have two separate problems people. I would appreciate any and all help on the matter. Problem 1: I am unable to install the restricted drivers for my ATI 2900 PRO video card, and would really like to install it. Problem 2: I saved my sister's laptop from Vista, installed Ubuntu, and her touch pad isn't working. It's a Dell Inspiron 1501. I've tried forums, many, many guides, googling it, etc. So this is my last resort. Anyo | 23:59 |
| soundray | !bootoptions > whiter, here's somewhere to look for further hints (private message) | 23:59 |
| crazyboy | hi | 23:59 |
