| pike_ | ahave_AFK: there are a bunch of ways. if youve already created the partitions you can just format em by doing a mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda4 or whatever | 00:05 |
| Bodsda | np | 00:05 |
| pike_ | ahave_AFK: basically you create partitions from the freespace then format those using mkfs.something to whavever format you want | 00:06 |
| ahave_AFK | ty pike, i will search for mkfs.ntfs then | 00:06 |

| pike_ | ahave_AFK: well. if you just want to create a samba share you dont really need a seperate partition at all just a directory | 00:12 |
| razordead | ahave_AFK: it would be just as easy to use Gparted to delete the NTFS partition & just resize the other partition | 00:13 |

| bruenig | HangukMiguk, you wouldn't want to do that in that manner | 00:25 |
| HangukMiguk | bruenig: how should i do it? | 00:26 |
| bruenig | HangukMiguk, your cpu will thank you | 00:26 |
| koolkat | whats up | 00:26 |
| bruenig | well xmms works (I believe) by writing a text file everytime it changes a track which is what those monitors use | 00:26 |

| HangukMiguk | bruenig: rhythmbox is the only one i've found to support it | 00:28 |
| dward526 | Hanguk: Is there not a plug in for xmms for that | 00:28 |
| bruenig | HangukMiguk, ok... figure something out, I am just saying rhythmbox is not viable for what you are talking about, I use sonata + mpd and conky has built in goodness for mpd | 00:28 |
| HangukMiguk | bruenig: link me to mpd? | 00:28 |
| HangukMiguk | or is it in apt? | 00:28 |
| bruenig | HangukMiguk, I don't know if ubuntu doesn't compile in aac support or something but there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to find a plethora of players which can use it seeing as most players just use one of the few codec backends which aac would be supported for | 00:29 |

| IndyGunFreak | Starnestommy: even then, i don'tt hink that will be an issue. | 00:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | warriorforgod: no clue on the 64bit. | 00:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | warriorforgod: ask him if for his username, is he using his entire user name... like mine is indygunfreak@hotmail.com if i just have "indygunfreak" it wont' connect me | 00:44 |

| paul__ | On the website http://www.linuxcnc.org/ CNC Linux\ | 00:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | then of course, make sure the password is correct | 00:44 |
| adorablepuppy | how do I install ncurses through apt-get? | 00:44 |
| Pelo | paul__, hold on , let me check | 00:44 |
| dabbill | Pelo, still getting the same thing | 00:44 |
| paul__ | yep sorry it takes me a while I'm a old PC guy | 00:44 |
| Starnestommy | adorablepuppy: sudo apt-get install ncurses ncurses-dev? | 00:44 |
| ahave_AFK | if i have a 1 GB memory stick, how large should i make my swap partition? | 00:44 |
| Pelo | adorablepuppy, sudo apt-get install ncurses , assuming it is in the repos | 00:44 |
| dabbill | Pelo, its installing 0.9.46 | 00:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | ahave_AFK: 2-3gigs | 00:45 |
| Pelo | dabbill, yes but the package was made by the ubuntu dev | 00:45 |
| pike_ | ahave_AFK: 1-2gigs | 00:45 |
| ahave_AFK | IndyGunFreak, why so much? | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | *thats what i meant, 1-2 | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | sorry | 00:45 |
| pike_ | ahave_AFK: IndyGunFreak is trying to trick you | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | didn't realize my fingers got crossed | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | 1.5-2x the amount of your memory | 00:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | pike_: na, just wasn't paying attention to where my fingers were walking | 00:46 |
| dabbill | Pelo, i just opened software sources, deleted the wineHQ entrys, sudo aptitude update, sudo aptitude remove wine --purge then sudo aptitude install wine | 00:46 |
| dabbill | Pelo, still says exec: 29: /usr/bin/wine: not found | 00:46 |
| Pelo | paul__, from that site it doesn't look like a standard install but they do seem to have fairly complete instructions, I would suggest you try reading and following them | 00:46 |
| paul__ | I have downloaded both the CD iso live version and the single release. I just don't know how to install is. even with reading the instruction | 00:47 |
| anonB | I have a version 7.04 install CD ... will there be much hassle in installing that and updating to 7.10, or should I just get the 7.10 CD? | 00:47 |
| giami | helo | 00:47 |
| Pelo | dabbill, go and look in /usr/bin , see if you can see it | 00:47 |
| chimp_in_basemen | oioi | 00:47 |
| ph0rensic | anonB: Better to DL the newer install disc | 00:47 |
| Starnestommy | anonB: getting the 7.10 disc should be easier | 00:47 |
| Pelo | anonB, I prefer upgrading from the cd myself, online upgrade can be long and tedious | 00:47 |
| anonB | ph0rensic and Starnestommy ok ... my only problem is limited bandwidth | 00:47 |
| dabbill | Pelo, wine and winecfg are listed there | 00:48 |
| ph0rensic | anonB: No one else around with better bandwidth? | 00:48 |
| Pelo | dabbill, check the permissions for them | 00:48 |
| ahave_AFK | anonB, you will have to download no matter what.. might as well store a copy via CD | 00:48 |
| _Lucretia_ | i'm back, in gutsy, thanks to all who helped, didn't need the extra deb's | 00:48 |
| dabbill | Pelo, dont remember how to do that | 00:48 |
| anonB | ph0rensic I'll be a' looking for someone now | 00:48 |
| paul__ | see ya, thanks | 00:48 |
| Pelo | dabbill, rigght click properties | 00:48 |
| anonB | ahave_AFK yes, that is true. Ok, I'm convinced. Thanks everyone | 00:48 |
| ph0rensic | anonB: Yes you have to download anyway, plus new install is always best.. save you time later | 00:49 |
| dabbill | i was doing it in terminal, gimmie a sec i will browse to it | 00:49 |
| === ahave_AFK is now known as ahave | ||
| Pelo | dabbill, I woudln't know how to do it in cli either | 00:49 |
| OmegaCenti | How do you REALLY hide a folder in Ubuntu? | 00:49 |
| _Lucretia_ | I have added "SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="5083", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="660", GROUP="audio"" this to the /etc/udev/rules/libmtp.rules file, do I need to reboot for it to take effect or should a simple "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" work? | 00:50 |
| _Lucretia_ | that line is for a Samsung YP-P2 player | 00:50 |
| dabbill | Pelo, ls -l gives you permissions, but i dont remember how it breaks down | 00:50 |
| Pelo | OmegaCenti, put a dot before the folder name like /home/username/.wine | 00:50 |
| dabbill | Pelo, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14766 2007-10-10 15:22 wine | 00:50 |
| leal | hello all | 00:51 |
| kyle__ | _Lucretia_, try latter, then if that fails, do former | 00:51 |
| leal | somebody knows "one" howto that works about configuring radeon 9600 + compiz fusion on gutsy? | 00:51 |
| OmegaCenti | Pelo: you can still list that folder on with ls -al, I am wondering if you can REALLY hide a folder. | 00:51 |
| Pelo | dabbill, I think it root , current user , others, this is what I get -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4856 2008-01-25 20:00 wine | 00:51 |
| _Lucretia_ | kyle__: tried a restart of udev, then mtp-detect - couldn't find anything, thing is, the p2 is charging at the moment, so don't really want to interrupt | 00:52 |
| Pelo | OmegaCenti, you want encryption | 00:52 |
| greencookie | I've connected an external Hard Drive to my puter. how do I browse it? | 00:52 |
| leal | when i install the xserver-xgl, the desktop works in slow motion | 00:52 |

| kyle__ | OmegaCenti, "really hide"? | 00:52 |
| Pelo | greencookie, mount it | 00:52 |
| OmegaCenti | kyle__: like if someone looks for a folder, they can't even find it. | 00:52 |
| Pelo | dabbill, very odd | 00:52 |
| dabbill | Pelo, Owner root, Access read and right, group root, access read only, others access read only | 00:52 |
| Pelo | dabbill, I'm stumped | 00:52 |
| Liono | can i allow 4 apps to run, some file sharings , a shutdown button on destkopand NONE else on clients.. i mean none.... no right clicks no kmenu. .. nothing. possible? | 00:52 |
| Pelo | dabbill, you need for owner root to havwe read write execute | 00:53 |
| kyle__ | OmegaCenti, are you concerned about on the HD? | 00:53 |
| OmegaCenti | kyle__: yes, a folder on the HD. | 00:53 |
| kyle__ | OmegaCenti, er, sorry, rephrasing | 00:53 |

| Pelo | Liono, don't start nautilus, don't start gnome pannel, don't start other stuff but I'm at a lost | 00:54 |

| speeddemon8803 | sorry about that! | 00:56 |
| frojnd | hello there | 00:56 |

| speeddemon8803 | Yes zeddie | 00:58 |

| mike | gun_smoke: hmm i dont know sorry | 00:59 |

| kyle__ | Gun_Smoke, close all programs and documents | 00:59 |
| jrib | !helpme | drew17112 | 00:59 |
| ubotu | drew17112: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 00:59 |
| Gun_Smoke | mike: Pretty much what I want is to stop X. And then when I want it again I'll start it. (startx) | 01:00 |

| greencookie | THanks a ton for the support Pelo | 01:06 |
| Gun_Smoke | chaosrl: Did you if you used aptitude to install it's as easy as aptitude remove kde | 01:06 |
| * Pelo is tired of gratitude , he wants cash | 01:07 | |
| Gun_Smoke | mike: To simple restart X Ctrl alt backspace is just fine.. | 01:07 |
| chaosrl | Gun_Smoke: i tried removing kde4-core; it only removed that package, and not the actually apps, etc. i'm not sure which apps kde4-core installed :( | 01:07 |

| tantric132 | I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack). Can you tell me the steps/commands to type in safe mode terminal to fix it? Possibly change the resolution? | 01:08 |
| chaosrl | Gun_Smoke: a search in terminal for kde with aptitude yields a really long list; should i just go trhough and uninstall each thing i have installed? | 01:09 |
| greencookie | Why wont Rhythmbox play my lastfm streams? I Just installed Ubuntu Gutsy fresh! do I have to configure codecs? | 01:09 |
| Gun_Smoke | chaosrl: Well there is a chance that would work.. But you will dump a lot of stuff you might want.. Amarok for example depends on some kde lib's. | 01:09 |

| tantric132 | Pelo, maybe you can help me yet again. I just installed the video driver that was listed under the Restricted Driver and after reboot, my moniter keeps saying that the signal is out of range(i'm assuming the resolution is out of wack).

| Pelo | tantric132, I don't know how you will go about changing it but , out of range usualy means that the horiz sync and/or vert rez values are not correct for your monitor, I suggest you check the label at the back of your monitor for the correct settings ( sometimes listed as v and h ) and change xorg.conf accordingly , the settings should be listed under device monitor as ranges , make sure the range reaches to your monitors capabilites, what I am not sure a | 01:14 |
| Pelo | bout is if nvidia restriected drivers use xorg , you'll have to test it | 01:14 |

| Dr_willis | mike, to what goal? you can use the purge option, and reinstall whatever samba related packages you want | 01:15 |
| NeutrinoMuonico | lots and lots and lots of people | 01:16 |
| tantric132 | Pelo, I'm not sure what xorg is. xorg.config i think? i heard I could change the resolution there, but your sayuing thats not the problem. | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | removing/reinstalling proberly wont fix much of anything. | 01:16 |
| OmegaCenti | I want to completely hide a folder's existance from other users who are not root. Any suggestions besides a . in front of the name? | 01:16 |

| Pelo | tantric132, xorg.conf is a configuration file for xserver type gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 01:16 |

| Dr_willis | mike, its in the repos. and avail online. In fact the samba-doc package int he repos has several books on samba | 01:18 |

| Pelo | tantric132, you got the xorg.conf file open , browse your way to where it says , device MONITOR | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | Samba is just one of those tools - it pays to read the docs/books for. :) | 01:18 |
| Pelo | tantric132, find horiz sync there are two values next to it , make sure they match the ones on the back of your monitor | 01:19 |
| drew17112 | I have firestarter installed and my events tab is full of blocked connections to random ports and most of them go to somewhere called unknown.scnet.net. Im trying to setup samba over hamachi to share files and it wont work. ANY help would be apprectiated | 01:19 |
| tantric132 | Pelo, ok let me go try hat brb | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | Now if ONLY i could figure out why my samba server shows "Publicfiles.exe' and 'PublicFiles.com' and 'PublicFiles.pif' in addation to my 'publicfiles' share...... | 01:19 |
| * Dr_willis wonders what hamachi is. | 01:20 | |
| Pelo | drew17112, firestarter is just a front end for iptables it's not the actual firewall , there is nothing enabled by default | 01:20 |
| squee | Dr_willis, hamachi is a program that essentially creates a vlan between you and whoever you set it up with | 01:20 |

| two_bits | i have a newbish question about ubuntu... how do I change file associations? | 01:26 |
| bruenig | two_bits, you mean who owns it? | 01:26 |
| two_bits | for example, make a torrent file open with azurus instead of the default torrent program | 01:26 |
| Pelo | dabbill, read tej second command on that page, you don'T insetall using aptituide, you must use dpkg with a special option | 01:26 |
| anka-ar | hi | 01:26 |
| bruenig | two_bits, that is generally configured within the file manager, and most file managers would have you right click on the file, and edit "properties" | 01:27 |

| Pelo | anka-ar, not that I know of | 01:27 |
| bruenig | anka-ar, use a tiling window manager, like dwm or xmonad | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | anka-ar, some window managers i know have that feature. There may be a compiz plugin/tool that might do it. | 01:27 |
| two_bits | bruenig: nevermind, thank you | 01:28 |
| anka-ar | but i hate compiz | 01:28 |

| the_darkside_986 | @Pelo thanks... i had no idea what the right channel was because i figured Kubuntu is set up differently but ok | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | !firewall | KE7LNU | 01:30 |
| Pelo | tantric132, that means ctrl+G | 01:30 |

| aO|DB | Pelo, what does it mean Primary or Logical, and Beginning or End | 01:43 |
| aO|DB | do they matter? | 01:43 |
| aO|DB | or leave it alone | 01:43 |

| tantric132 | Alrihty bud | 01:43 |
| nosaj | i love my psp | 01:43 |
| compwiz18 | frojnd: eth*? | 01:43 |
| speeddemon8803 | Primary is your main hard drive, where your operating system boots... | 01:43 |
| aO|DB | ok so make that the 5 GB part | 01:43 |
| frojnd | compwiz18, yes, what is my wireless eth1 eth2 or what ? | 01:43 |
| aO|DB | then the logical the 15 GB | 01:43 |
| speeddemon8803 | Yeah. | 01:44 |
| aO|DB | ok | 01:44 |
| compwiz18 | frojnd: ra0, I think | 01:44 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, if you only have ubuntu on that hdd use primary , don't worry about beginning and end, just use the size bits | 01:44 |
| * speeddemon8803 grabs pelo and teams up on this one :) | 01:44 | |
| aO|DB | I have Win XP dual booted | 01:44 |
| Weirdbeard | Where does Ubuntu put it's install.log? | 01:44 |

| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: do you have an mtp based player? | 01:45 |
| Pelo | tantric132, change horiz sync to 30 - 82 and vert to 50 -75 | 01:45 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, hmmmm. I don't know what else you can do. Although it is not recognized by mtp-detect, did you try it with Rhythmbox and what happens? | 01:45 |
| Pelo | speeddemon8803, team up on what ? | 01:45 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, eh, no, I have an iPod. | 01:45 |
| eck090 | ugh, as much as it is a pain to do stuff through command line..... its better than windows | 01:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | helping that guy out with his partitioning issues. | 01:45 |
| * Pelo is confused now | 01:45 | |
| tantric132 | Pelo, I'm sure this is an obvious answer but how do I change values and then save the file in xorg? | 01:45 |
| nickrud | Weirdbeard: /var/log/installer/ for the initial install | 01:45 |
| aO|DB | Erm... i just got a weird problem i guess | 01:45 |
| akin | hi | 01:45 |
| aO|DB | now the "free space" says Unusuable | 01:45 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: I have enabled the mtp plugin in rhythmbox, but I can't see anything that relates to mtp, confused | 01:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | !hi | akin | 01:45 |
| nosaj | hay how can i safely get rid of the windows partition on my ubuntu pc can i just deleat the partition | 01:45 |
| ubotu | akin: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 01:45 |
| Weirdbeard | Thanks nickrud! | 01:45 |
| dabbill | http://pastebin.org/19339 Could some one take a look at this and see if they have any ideas on how to fix it? | 01:46 |
| nosaj | i also have a old ubuntu install i want to get rid of as well as the windows partition | 01:46 |
| Jordan | my ubuntu cd only loads cli. how do i make it load gui and install? | 01:46 |
| Rukus | hey | 01:46 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, yes, so neither Rhythmbox can see it. | 01:46 |
| eck090 | how do i install a.run file? | 01:46 |
| Pelo | tantric132, you are in nano right now ? just use the keys to bring the cursor to the right place and type over I think you use ctrl x to exit and save | 01:46 |
| KE7LNU | best part scheme normal user laptop????? | 01:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | jordan, did you accidentally install the alternative image to a cd? | 01:46 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: doesn't look like it | 01:46 |
| aO|DB | Pelo, do i make the Home first, then make the Root??? because it is not letting me create anything else after making the primary | 01:47 |
| tantric132 | Pelo, thanks. going to try it | 01:47 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: should it give some extra menus or something? | 01:47 |
| speeddemon8803 | The alternative install does not include a GUI, Jordan, if that was what you did. | 01:47 |
| nomopofomo | My desktop has gone black and the shutdown button in the top-right hand corner of my screen doesn't work ;( | 01:47 |
| compwiz18 | eck090: ideally, you wouldn't, but you can open up a terminal and run chmod +x file.run; ./file.run | 01:47 |
| Pelo | Jordan, sound like you have the alternate install cd , there is no gui on it , you have to install , from the menu at the beginning | 01:47 |
| nickrud | eck090: first you figure out if there's any other way to get that program. | 01:47 |
| eck090 | well its my video driver | 01:47 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, it is supposed that if you enable the mtp plugin, your device should appear in Rhythmbox when you connect it | 01:47 |
| nickrud | eck090: which one? | 01:47 |
| eck090 | Nvidia | 01:48 |
| nomopofomo | This was all after I started playing around with my fstab file... | 01:48 |
| compwiz18 | eck090: you should be able to get that in the restricted manager | 01:48 |
| aO|DB | shit this is kinda confusing | 01:48 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: could it be a charging thing? I'm charging now | 01:48 |
| nomopofomo | I added two lines and then deleted htem. | 01:48 |
| aO|DB | lol | 01:48 |
| nickrud | eck090: ok, I have ref for the new atis | 01:48 |
| Jordan | ok. i might have hit the check box by accident. thanks! | 01:48 |
| Rukus | hi i recently uninstalled xserver-xgl , installed a new ATI graphics driver,, newest from ATI site, and now when i try ctrl alt backspace, my system doesnt hang, it just blanks the screen and stops there. ctrl alt del restarts the machine. I also run compiz effects | 01:48 |
| eck090 | restricted manager? | 01:48 |
| KE7LNU | noobie// best partition scheme for ubuntu home var usr etc | 01:48 |
| nmz787 | hey does anyone here know what a dflt value is? | 01:48 |
| Rukus | default | 01:49 |
| Rukus | dflt - default maybe | 01:49 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, I think since your device is recognized as a usb device by ubuntu it can be charged. i think that it's independent of the mtp problem | 01:49 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, you'll get the hang of it eventualy, you only do one thing at once, if it helps you can exit the installer and go back to the deskop , you can partition your hdd from gparted in there and do the insetall after, you can then skip the bit where you partiton and go straight to the part where you pick the partitons to instal on | 01:49 |
| eck090 | says installer must be run as root | 01:50 |
| aO|DB | well, it dosnt let me install on partitions | 01:50 |
| eck090 | do i just put the "sudo" command? | 01:50 |
| aO|DB | it just picks this one hard drive i have | 01:50 |
| nickrud | Rukus: you could try running the install on http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide , see if that will fix it. But simply running the ati driver install can often screw things up | 01:50 |
| nmz787 | anyone here ever use MPX? I am trying to get the xinput program to work | 01:50 |
| aO|DB | ack | 01:50 |
| Rukus | thats the guide i followd | 01:50 |
| Rukus | nickrud: thats the guide i followd | 01:50 |
| jescis | Jack_Sparrow: so, would nothing, no wep or anything be better to use using a 2wire modem/router? | 01:50 |
| maximilion__ | eck090, if it a graphical install program: gksudo appname, if console: sudo appname. | 01:50 |
| nomopofomo | !info automount | 01:50 |
| ubotu | Package automount does not exist in gutsy | 01:50 |
| nickrud | Rukus: hm. Working here just fine. | 01:51 |
| mike | ok hi all i have samba reinstalled, i go to my windows box and type //server and the password box comes up so i type in my credentials, but with no luck | 01:51 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, you do the manual partitionning bit but then you donT' have to do the partitons in the step you are now , they are already there, you can skip to the next bit I mean | 01:51 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: it seems that udev has worked and mounted it tho, I do have /dev/libmtp-6-1 & /dev/libmtp-usbdev6.2 | 01:51 |
| mike | i did the sudo smbpasswd -a mike | 01:51 |
| smithw | Hello everyone. I had a fully functional gutsy installation on my PC, but since them I have upgraded some of its hardware and I'm not sure how will gutsy handle that hardware change. The most "critical" hardware (graphics card and wireless card) are the same, so I expect no problems there. However, the HD's have completely changed their order. Will gutsy's fstab go nuts when I boot into it? | 01:51 |
| aO|DB | ?? | 01:51 |
| spike_le_jackal | howdy | 01:51 |
| nomopofomo | Is anyone here familiar with automounting NTFS partitions? | 01:51 |
| aO|DB | right now i have 24 gigs of free space | 01:51 |
| nmz787 | howdy | 01:51 |
| eck090 | says im running an x server? | 01:51 |
| aO|DB | and i need to make a ubuntu partition | 01:51 |
| tantric132_ | Pelo, I'm now on my Ubuntu system. You're the man! Thank you so much | 01:51 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, anyting esle on this hdd ? | 01:51 |
| speeddemon8803 | !automount | 01:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about automount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:52 |
| Mathman | smithw: sounds about right | 01:52 |
| Pelo | tantric132_, my pleasure | 01:52 |
| maximilion__ | eck090, what are you installing? | 01:52 |
| aO|DB | Yep, theres Windows partition, 7GB, Storage, 130GB | 01:52 |
| nmz787 | you can also edit /etc/fstab and set the ntfs to mount on startup | 01:52 |
| eck090 | NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run | 01:52 |
| spike_le_jackal | Yeah, searching for it comes up with good results you need | 01:52 |
| spike_le_jackal | I've worked similar issues. | 01:52 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, ok fist please use my nick in each line, it makes it easier to follow if I know you are talking to me | 01:52 |
| aO|DB | ok | 01:52 |
| maximilion__ | Hm, strange, gksudo should work | 01:53 |
| robdig | Pelo: hi, are you plotting yet? | 01:53 |
| eck090 | what is gksudo? | 01:53 |
| nomopofomo | What filesystem option should I choose when adding an NTFS drive to my fstab file? | 01:53 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, you will need to make logical partitons , not primaries, you can only have 4 primaries per hdd | 01:53 |
| smithw | Mathman: thanks... I guess I will resort to an old live cd to edit the fstab before I boot into the actual system | 01:53 |
| MrPiracy | i have installed kiba-dock, but when i type the command to open it, i get a segmentation fault error. how can i fix this? i'm on a 64bit system | 01:53 |
| nomopofomo | More precisely, what is the proper filesystem to use? fuseblk or ntfs-3g? | 01:53 |
| nickrud | eck090: clt-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-f2 , login. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop (this stops your X server. Do the install, then sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X server | 01:53 |
| Mathman | smithw: that and you'll perhaps need to edit grub.conf and reinstall grub | 01:53 |
| maximilion__ | eck090, press Alt+F2, type gksudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.09-pkg1.run | 01:53 |
| Pelo | robdig, not yes, I am investigating other avenues, like generic printers with cpl drivers, cause I can't get a hpgl.plt flle out of progecad | 01:54 |
| frojnd | how can I check if my wifi card works, what's the command for searching for devices something with scanning ? | 01:54 |
| nickrud | eck090: you can use clt-alt-f2 and clt-alt-f7 to switch back and forth while the X server is running | 01:54 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, ok. do you think a mtp specific app that gnomad2 will help? I don't know what else you can do with mtp | 01:54 |
| maximilion__ | gksudo allow running apps with a temporary root access | 01:54 |
| putnum | who is in charge of the support groups for ubuntu? the local ones i mean | 01:54 |
| smithw | Mathman: most definitely | 01:54 |
| EADG | Help. I rm'd a file instead of mv! Is there anyway to recover it? Anyway at all? | 01:54 |
| nickrud | maximilion__: the nvidia install requires X to be off | 01:54 |
| nomopofomo | Which file, EADG? | 01:54 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: i think i'll wait till it's charged and see what to do next | 01:54 |
| Mathman | EADG: nothing I know of that doesn't cost loads of money | 01:54 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, right click in the free space showed in the graphical repersentation of the hdd, select new partiton or whatever it is , make a new one 5 gig , ext3 , logical | 01:55 |
| maximilion__ | nickrud, I see. I'm not as experienced as you, so I'd probably boot into recovery mode and do a su - username in that case :) | 01:55 |
| eck090 | ok repeat that | 01:55 |
| EADG | nomopofomo: a text file, no extension. | 01:55 |
| eck090 | i forgot that shuts off my GUI | 01:55 |
| === rat32 is now known as Palace_Chan | ||
| nickrud | putnum: you mean the locos? #ubuntu-loco for help | 01:55 |
| Repley | hi all. is possible to auto-run a command after a custom command? for example i want to run 'ls' after all 'cd' command that i type (for example 'cd /path/dynamic') | 01:55 |
| putnum | thx nick | 01:55 |
| nomopofomo | EADG, a configuration file of some sort? What was it's name? | 01:55 |
| kostkon | _Lucretia_, ok. sorry I couldn't really help you! | 01:55 |
| Pelo | robdig, but the stuff you emailed me works perfectly , for what little I can do with it | 01:55 |
| nickrud | maximilion__: that'd work too, but I hate rebooting when there's another way :) | 01:55 |
| Mathman | nomopofomo: I fail to see how that would be relevant... | 01:56 |
| _Lucretia_ | kostkon: thanks anyway, i'll prolly see how it goes tomorrow | 01:56 |
| maximilion__ | mm but it's easier to remember :) | 01:56 |
| putnum | nick: nobody is in there | 01:56 |
| nomopofomo | What filesystem should I use for automounting an NTFS partition? fuseblk or ntfs-3g? | 01:56 |
| eck090 | nickrud can you rpost those directions | 01:56 |
| robdig | Pelo: well, we both learned something...good luck getting your cad going | 01:56 |

| eck090 | please and thanks | 01:56 |
| greencookie | How can I download decoder for playing last fm streams? I just installed ubuntu an hour ago. | 01:56 |
| nickrud | eck090: clt-alt-backspace, ctl-alt-f2 , login. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop (this stops your X server. Do the install, then sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X server | 01:56 |
| maximilion__ | My Ubuntu is now fully setup and tested for webdesign <3 | 01:56 |
| Pelo | robdig, when i do get it working I will email you about it , you were a great help | 01:56 |
| nomopofomo | Mathman, I probably misinterpreted what he asked. | 01:56 |
| eck090 | ok writing them down | 01:56 |
| eck090 | and ill brb | 01:56 |
| Rukus | ugh | 01:56 |
| robdig | Pelo: no prob | 01:56 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, still around ? | 01:57 |
| putnum | and is there a team that is in charge of promoting ubuntu? As in maybe a roadhow type thing? | 01:57 |
| nickrud | eck090: in the rare case where you don't automatically get returned to the gui when you run the start, hit ctl-alt-f7 | 01:57 |
| EADG | nomopofomo: an report typed out in nano. Not a config file. File name was 'porocity jan 12' | 01:57 |
| nickrud | putnum: #ubuntu-marketing I think | 01:57 |
| Mathman | EADG: probably a good time to mention rcs or cvs or whatever. | 01:57 |
| Pelo | putnum, check in the ubuntu website in the get involved section , look for locos | 01:57 |
| putnum | ok thx guys | 01:58 |

| * Pelo is feeling like crap and will need to go to bed soon | 01:58 | |
| nomopofomo | Mathman, happen to know which filesystem I should use when automounting an NTFS volume? | 01:59 |
| Rukus | i have two xorg processes running, is this normal | 01:59 |
| * nickrud pities Pelo , must be all that cold weather | 01:59 | |
| Pelo | aO|DB, I was gonna suggest you use the rest of the free space for /home in ext3 | 01:59 |
| Mathman | EADG: version tracking systems. if you're going to be doing this Linux and/or programming thing seriously, you should look into one | 01:59 |
| * robdig gives Pelo some chicken soup | 01:59 | |
| Mathman | nomopofomo: I suppose that would depend on which drivers you wanted. ntfs3g is the good stuff these days though I think | 02:00 |
| EADG | Mathman: would nano have saved an incremental backup? | 02:00 |
| Mathman | EADG: ha, nano? doubtful | 02:00 |
| === noskl1 is now known as nosklo | ||
| * Pelo sits in the warm chicken soup, ahhhh | 02:00 | |
| * EADG weeps | 02:01 | |
| Mathman | if you used something like emacs or vim then those will save backup copies whenever you edit something. if they're configured to do so anyhow. | 02:01 |
| * Pelo laughs at EADG | 02:01 | |
| aO|DB | Pelo | 02:01 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, yes ? | 02:01 |
| aO|DB | Pelo, i think it automatically puts that space in the partition | 02:01 |

| aO|DB | also, i just deleted Kubuntu.. | 02:04 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: sounds like you're moving along nicely, after the install we can inspect what you have | 02:04 |
| Pelo | aO|DB, consider you might have a hidden recovery partition on your hdd, which would show as free space in gparted but would not be usable | 02:04 |
| proprietarysucks | I've tried kernline.. 1 and kernel line.... single | 02:04 |

| proprietarysucks | I'm talking about starting the machine and getting into ubuntu to reset the password | 02:05 |

| aO|DB | nickrud, Heres what i did: 24Gb Freespace -> 5gb / and 300mb swap.... then I was left with a bunch of unusable space | 02:05 |
| aO|DB | and im installing now, and i would assume that it takes the unusable space and implements it | 02:06 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: hm, ok. After the install we can double check and reformat and reinstall if needed | 02:06 |
| gotama | Where can I change the screen resolution for the start up of ubuntu? | 02:06 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: good chance reinstall won't be needed, just some tweaking | 02:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: Hey, is he running into the 4 primary limit | 02:06 |
| elecompt2 | Mathman: I tried to follow the instructions, and when I tried to install, It said there was an error | 02:06 |
| aO|DB | nickrud, are you familiar with the kubuntu partitioner? | 02:06 |
| Vadi | gotama: for the loading progress bar? | 02:06 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow: could be, we'll discover | 02:07 |
| Vadi | How can I add something to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable? | 02:07 |
| Mathman | gotama: I'm thinking you pass something to the kernel, via grub | 02:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud: goodnight | 02:07 |
| gotama | Just start up. | 02:07 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: not particularly, but we'll sort it out | 02:07 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow: it's just starting :) | 02:07 |
| Mathman | elecompt2: the point is, you should be installing ndiswrapper via your package manager. if there's an error then file a bug report | 02:07 |
| aO|DB | nickrud, well it lets you resize any partition during install(unlike ubuntu) | 02:07 |
| elecompt2 | ok | 02:07 |
| gotama | I've got just a black screen And need to wait until the x server starts. | 02:07 |
| aO|DB | nickrud, i was wondering if ubuntu came with a partitioner that could do that(on the live cd) | 02:08 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: Yes, gparted and others | 02:08 |
| aO|DB | ok, well its 90% | 02:08 |
| gotama | exact,for the loading progress bar. I can't see it. | 02:09 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: we can do a lot of formatting stuff from the install as well | 02:09 |

| ubotu | gotama (this fixes many of those blank screen problems): Supported screen resolutions are sometimes detected incorrectly, causing the splash screen to not appear and slowing down boot. Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu » | 02:09 |

| tantric132 | How do I fix this? | 02:18 |
| nickrud | vbabiy_laptop_: either change the users' umask to 002 (they make things group readable by default, not really good) or set up an access control list for that directory (beyond the scope of this channel) | 02:18 |

| nickrud | vbabiy_laptop_: thats what access control lists do. You can set it up so only users in that group can write there, and/or only that group are read/writeable | 02:20 |

| usser | eck090: theres no D3D on linux per se | 02:33 |
| gold44 | soldats: oh no. unable to boot into ubuntu. i have in intitial ram disk prompt | 02:33 |
| Dr_willis | frojnd, you DONT normally chmod mountpoints that way.. and you definiatly dont do it for NTFS/Vfat filesystems | 02:33 |

| nickrud | aO|DB-DX: pidgin I guess. That's what most people seem to use | 02:34 |
| kostkon | Hellow, for linux you can say it's opegl. but if you don't have 3d support for your card you can't do many things, actually | 02:34 |
| usser | eck090: it uses opengl | 02:34 |
| soldats | gold44: i know. it usually means wrong resolution or bad refresh rates. if you can do ctrl+alt+f2 and get a terminal you can try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" and it should rebuild it to the correct settings. otherwise you may be able to get a terminal with recovery mode boot | 02:34 |
| eck090 | ok, im not sure why im getting lagg then | 02:34 |
| bort | I bought a power supply for my old computer (500Watts), but the connector for the mb has twelve pins and the entry of the mb has only 10. I managed to stick the twelve pin connector to the entry but now I'm wondering if my mb will burn or something. | 02:34 |

| gold44 | soldats: yes during boot time, no splash screen. but bigger right problem now. some sort of tty device error | 02:37 |
| aO|DB | nickrud, ok im in windows | 02:37 |

| ubotu | rodserling_ (this often fixes blank boot screens): Supported screen resolutions are sometimes detected incorrectly, causing the splash screen to not appear and slowing down boot. Edit /etc/usplash.conf and change "xres" and "yres" to a resolution that your graphics system certainly supports, then run « sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu » | 02:37 |
| nickrud | aO|DB: good. Just wanted to be sure it was working | 02:37 |
| rodserling_ | Ok, thanks nickrud! | 02:37 |

| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 02:40 |
| usser | frojnd: do something like this just change /dev/hda1 to name of your partition and /mountpoint too echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g 0 0" >> /etc/fstab | 02:40 |
| aO|DB | Hey guys, where does Gparted go when it is installed? | 02:41 |
| soldats | aO|DB: type gparted in a terminal | 02:42 |
| eck090 | w00t fixed | 02:42 |
| usser | frojnd: then do sudo chown -R username:username /mountpoint | 02:42 |
| Dr_willis | jack-desktop, i recall some extra tool (xrand?) that could do that.. or some xorg.conf optiuons.. But ive never tried them out. and it may depend onyour video card. | 02:42 |
| RoxanneEDM | hey guys i just installed [sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree].. now it says that i have the latest version, but when i browse to some vids on facebook, it tells me i need a newer version... any ideas? | 02:42 |
| kostkon | Hellow, there is the 810 xorg driver at the repositories. maybe by using this driver you'll get 3d | 02:43 |
| soldats | RoxanneEDM: firefox | 02:43 |
| gold44 | soldats: hm.. recovery mode is stuck or maybe taking a long time. anyway. i will try slackware and see if i get more luck. i think the main thing is the drivers for my budget motherboard | 02:43 |
| mike | can someone help me figure out how to edit the smb.conf file | 02:43 |

| nosaj | hmm ok ill look into it | 02:43 |
| RoxanneEDM | soldats: yes firefox is what i use | 02:44 |
| nosaj | thanks | 02:44 |
| gold44 | soldats: okie dok | 02:44 |
| usser | frojnd: ok how did u mount the partition give me the command | 02:44 |
| soldats | RoxanneEDM: in firefox type in the address bar "about:plugins" and tell me what flash version it says is installed | 02:44 |
| MrPiracy | anyone knows how to fix the segmentation fault error when trying to run kiba-dock on 64bit system? | 02:44 |
| RoxanneEDM | soldats: what do i type in the address field? | 02:45 |

| soldats | techqbert: i dont think so, i lost so much data that way | 02:46 |
| usser | frojnd: cool so do this gksu gedit /etc/fstab | 02:46 |
| frojnd | o | 02:46 |
| frojnd | k | 02:46 |
| frojnd | usser, ok | 02:46 |
| Sapote_ | hi any ubuntu member here? | 02:47 |
| ASTX813 | Can vpnc be set up to only route certain ports/services? | 02:47 |
| usser | frojnd: add this line to the end /dev/sda1 /home/me/Windows ntfs-3g 0 0 | 02:47 |
| techqbert | soldats: pfft I just lost a nice chunk of college application essay. hrm. | 02:47 |
| sxealex | anyone know what options i need to open proms on a remote computer that use the x display... i don t need to see the output just launch them | 02:47 |
| macsen | ello? | 02:47 |
| usser | frojnd: now do sudo mount /dev/sda1 | 02:47 |
| sxealex | sorry programs* | 02:47 |
| usser | frojnd: it should mount the partition | 02:47 |
| soldats | techqbert: unless it logs it somewhere i doubt it | 02:47 |
| Dr_willis | sxealex, You would need to set up 'xhost' to allow the remote user access to the X display, and then just export the display variable, and run them | 02:47 |
| usser | frojnd: after that do sudo chown -R yourname:yourname /home/me/Windows | 02:48 |
| sxealex | export it into the computer im sshing from | 02:48 |
| badkitty | Cool finally got vmware to install correctly.. Now just need a decent appliance to boot properly | 02:48 |
| sxealex | ? | 02:48 |
| RoxanneEDM | what is easiest to install, a rpm file or tar.gz | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | sxealex, on the remote you need to some how run 'xhost +localhost' or similer. (this is a potential security hole) | 02:48 |
| PriceChild | !rpm | RoxanneEDM | 02:48 |
| ubotu | RoxanneEDM: 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) | 02:48 |
| Dr_willis | sxealex, then export the DISPLAY variable properly, then just run the app. it should then appear on the remote box. | 02:48 |
| sxealex | ohh,,, no sorry thats not what i mean | 02:49 |
| nosaj | can any one tell me how manny argrage users for ubuntu and same for windows? | 02:49 |
| sxealex | the program is on the remote computer | 02:49 |
| nosaj | avrage | 02:49 |
| soldats | RoxanneEDM: use the tar.gz from the adobe site. and follow the directions for flash install | 02:49 |
| === Sapote_ is now known as Sapote | ||
| sxealex | but when i run it | 02:49 |
| sxealex | it says it cant find the x display | 02:49 |
| Dr_willis | sxealex, thats what the exporting the DISPLAY is all about | 02:49 |
| eck090 | ill take that as a no | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 or similer | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | then run the app | 02:50 |
| usser | frojnd: so hows it going? | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis | sxealex, IF you had ran xhost +localhost that is.. | 02:50 |
| sxealex | ok ill give that a whirl | 02:50 |
| sxealex | this wont work in regular ssh? | 02:50 |
| usser | sxealex: in ssh just use -X flag | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | usser, he wants it to appear remotely also. | 02:51 |
| sxealex | i thought x flag would show it on my computer | 02:51 |
| usser | sxealex: ie ssh -X -C username@remotepc | 02:51 |
| sxealex | no | 02:51 |
| usser | sxealex: oh my bad sorry | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | or so he said. | 02:51 |
| sxealex | i dont need it on my computer | 02:51 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:51 |
| sxealex | i do this sshing into my mac all the time | 02:51 |
| usser | sxealex: just run it like that i believe DISPLAY=:0 && progname | 02:52 |
| frojnd | usser, when I try to do: chown -R joze:site /home/joze/Windows/ it allways says that it's not valid name | 02:52 |
| Dr_willis | sxealex, the 'critical part' is the X security stuff, thats handled by xhost +. | 02:52 |
| usser | sxealex: i think that would work | 02:52 |
| usser | frojnd: is it there? | 02:52 |
| sxealex | so DISPLAY=:0 ./program | 02:52 |
| gold44 | soldats: nope. failed. tty error can't access control. i still get initial ram disk prompt. i'll give slackware a try later this week =( | 02:52 |
| usser | sxealex: yea | 02:52 |
| frojnd | usser, if what is there :) | 02:53 |
| sxealex | :D | 02:53 |
| sxealex | thanks you! | 02:53 |
| sxealex | worked perfectly | 02:53 |
| usser | frojnd: well your /home/joze/Windows is it even there? | 02:53 |
| usser | frojnd: also case matters | 02:53 |
| frojnd | usser, ofcourse | 02:53 |
| usser | frojnd: Windows and windows are not the same | 02:53 |
| soldats | gold44: hmm thats too bad. did ubuntu ever start up. maybe had something to with dualboot | 02:53 |
| sxealex | thanks guys :) | 02:53 |

| Dr_willis | safiyyah, try it now and see. :) if you loging to gnome and got no window decorations, or so forth. try alt-f2 and run metacity --replace | 02:57 |
| gold44 | soldats: it's beyond me too. but i'll keep trying until i find a distro that will work with my desktop. i am only using it as web/file server. so no biggy | 02:58 |
| soldats | cool | 02:58 |

| safiyyah_ | dr willis, am not understanding the alt f2 rule. you press alt and f2... release and type metacity-replace at the terminal? | 02:58 |
| techqbert | pppZero: I think it has to do with my hardware though | 02:59 |
| ArrPirate | I have a problem with my new monitor and Ubuntu. When I go to a smaller resolution for my monitor, say 1280x1024, it fills my whole screen, but when I tell Ubuntu to use the monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 it only fills part of the screen and it's shifted so far to the right that my monitor's adjustments in the menu don't fix it. | 02:59 |
| usser | MrPiracy: theres a 64bit java virtual machine its just theres no 64bit plugin | 02:59 |
| ArrPirate | I've tried rebooting a couple times and disconnecting the monitor and leaving it disconnected for a couple minutes. | 02:59 |

| pppZero | MrPiracy, i'm not a great fan of the linux ftp clients, nautilus (gnome file manager) does a fairly good job of handling ftp | 03:03 |
| usser | frojnd: close all the programs that have your windows partition open | 03:04 |
| MrPiracy | usser: that's ok, i found a website that has a work around for it, i'll give it a try | 03:04 |
| usser | Wasney: when it just starts press esc that takes you to boot menu | 03:04 |
| MrPiracy | usser: thx for the ftp tips | 03:04 |

| kercyr | Is there a reason to keep 386 version of the kernel around? Can I safely remove it? | 03:05 |
| usser | Wasney: that should temporarily start ubuntu without splash screen so that u can see whats going on when it boots | 03:05 |
| eck090 | nobody knows how i can minimize a full screen program? | 03:05 |
| kercyr | I'm running the generic version. | 03:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | kercyr: i probably wouldn't *remove* it, just in case, but you can comment it out of your grub if you want | 03:06 |
| usser | frojnd: in terminal do cd\ | 03:06 |
| witepa | When I try to reinstall GRUB, nothing works. Nothing that I try to works. I cannot get Ubuntu to boot. What could the problem be? | 03:06 |
| silas428 | echo090: alt-tab? | 03:06 |
| usser | frojnd: cd\ | 03:06 |
| eck090 | doesnt work | 03:06 |
| usser | frojnd: err cd | 03:06 |

| djezer | Jack_Sparrow, now the camera or my usb drive don't automount | 03:27 |
| astro76 | safiyyah: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin | 03:27 |

I have a new Envision G218a1 22" widescreen lcd monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050 but when I select that resolution in Ubuntu it displays on only part of my screen and is too far to the right for my monitor's built in adjustment settings.

| wease| | hammer89, you may want to consider reinstalling gnome desktop manager | 03:36 |

| Hammer89 | weasel: how do I do that? | 03:36 |
| mjw- | tantric132 you have to run update-grub if you added or changed an entry | 03:37 |

| joey_ | what is the easiest way for me to create a ntfs partition on my hd? | 03:37 |
| illriginal | sweet... thanks flannel | 03:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ArrPirate: Usually that is the result of the wrong v/h refresh settings not just the sync 75 or whatever that most people know about. Look in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf then post it in the pasatebin, not in the channel. | 03:38 |
| wease| | hammer89, apparently something you have installed doesnt agree with gnome | 03:38 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: one other thing... would that be what's responsible for compiz not initiating? (if I try logging in and out enough times compiz initiates properly... eventually... and when it does everything is stable) | 03:38 |
| stroyan | ArrPirate: I would suspect you need to change a HorizSync setting in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. To high of a refresh rate could cause your monitor's distress. | 03:38 |

| wease| | hammer89, it seems fair to think that compiz overloads your system or was installed incorrectly | 03:39 |
| illriginal | hmmm... Kompozer doesn't exist in the synamptic | 03:39 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: Hmm... my desktop is extremely dependent on compiz (along with my theming... this is gonna hurt) :P | 03:39 |

| Flannel | illriginal: Kompozer was only added to the repos for Gutsy (and backported for Feisty), sicne its relatively new. That's why you have to do a little bit extra (but not too much) | 03:41 |
| ste-foy | I have always this message :"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new windows, you must firt close the existing Firefix process | 03:42 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: sorry for leaving... had to restart... it got too unstable :P | 03:42 |

| ste-foy | and thanks mjw- | 03:44 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: sure... what info would you need? | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | aO|DB: Easiest way is to delete one of the 4 you have, preferably #4 then create an extended or use the livecd to combine the unallocated space with an existing partition | 03:44 |
| wease| | hammer89, i feel like im reaching at straws to get a definitive answer. but having said that...when it corrupts the gnome desktop then my opinion is to reinstall said desktop manager and reinstall compiz | 03:44 |
| aO|DB | can i delete the swap?????? | 03:44 |
| djezer | Jack_Sparrow, I'm UNAWARE of anything that could have broken the automount! | 03:44 |

| sfears | i just plugged it in and it showed up on the desktop | 03:56 |

| astro76 | aO|DB: you can have at max 4 primary partitions, so the "extended" container was created which can hold more partitions (called logical partitions) | 03:56 |
| KlrSpz | well run mount without options, find the mountpoint and do an LS on it | 03:56 |
| aO|DB | ohh | 03:56 |

| KlrSpz | stroyan: thanks for the tip, i'm all ubuntu, gentoo, or xp here | 03:57 |
| astro76 | aO|DB: actually, everything can generally be logical... but windows usually demands to be a primary partition | 03:57 |
| SHMO | how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ? | 03:57 |
| Scunizi | encrypt128bit, you have a couple of options. Disconnect the windows drive and install Ubuntu to the remining drive so it puts its bootloader there, then switch back and forth using the bios. or Install ubuntu letting it install it's bootloader then return to windows and resetup windows bootloader the way you want. | 03:57 |
| aO|DB | astro76: yea thats cool you can do that, how would i move the win xp partition into the sub partition? | 03:57 |

| MrPiracy | i would like to have "comic sans ms" font installed on my gutsy. how can i do that? | 03:58 |
| encrypt128bit | Scunizi: Can't I just tell the installer to install the boot loader to my second hard drive? Hence my question, would my second hard drive be considered hd1? | 03:58 |
| Scunizi | encrypt128bit, although "grub" the default boot loader for Ubuntu is fairly transparent and easy to use. | 03:58 |
| Hammer89 | no... though I have all the plugins disabled | 03:58 |
| Hammer89 | @ weasel | 03:58 |
| xeom | Does anybody know what might cause keyboard lag of upto 1-2 seconds sometimes i am able to complete whole words before they show up on screen?I can't even use repeat keys with out it going crazy | 03:59 |

| xeom | SHMO:What setting in my bios + i dont think its my bios because it don't get this issue at all in windows | 04:00 |
| kyuubiseal | are there any gaming irc channels | 04:00 |
| Scunizi | encrypt128bit, post facto you can redo grub to the second drive, but it won't really do what you want.. maybe someone else in here will have more input if it's possible. | 04:00 |
| kyuubiseal | are there any gaming irc channels | 04:00 |
| kyuubiseal | ? | 04:00 |
| wease| | flannel, thanks | 04:00 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: so try that? | 04:00 |

| wease| | yup | 04:00 |
| djezer | kyuubiseal, for glest there is #glest | 04:00 |
| SHMO | xeom windows over-rides bios settings so that's why you haven't noticed it before | 04:00 |
| NigelS_ | encrypt128bit: you can install grub to the mbr of your other hd then use dd to dump said mbr to a file. you can then place that file in your windows c: drive's root and the modify boot.ini to use this file when the ubuntu option is selected | 04:00 |
| Starnestommy | kazim59: I think April 6 | 04:00 |
| Flannel | kazim59: April (end-ish) | 04:00 |
| SHMO | how do i mount an external usb hdd? what would it be under in /dev/ ? | 04:00 |

| nekostar | '08 '04 | 04:01 |
| NigelS_ | SHMO: it should be auto-mounted when you plug it in within gnome | 04:01 |
| encrypt128bit | NigelS_: I know that.... no one is listening to my question though, is my second hard drive considered hd1? | 04:01 |
| wease| | i love runnin the new OSs | 04:01 |

| wease| | great fun for me | 04:01 |
| encrypt128bit | thats all im asking | 04:01 |
| astro76 | aO|DB: I don't think windows will boot if it were logical, also I don't think believe you can convert.. | 04:01 |
| Flannel | encrypt128bit: yes | 04:01 |
| kazim59 | nekostar: how come? | 04:01 |
| kyuubiseal | is there an Irc channel for call of duty 4 | 04:01 |

| Flannel | fonts | MrPiracy | 04:02 |

| ubotu | MrPiracy: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 04:02 |

| Shrugz | what is the best pop3 / stmp email access program for gutsy if someone can pm me the awnser to my question please because the channel moves to fast for me | 04:02 |
| bruenig | !pm | 04:03 |
| ubotu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 04:03 |
| bruenig | !prefix | 04:03 |
| ubotu | As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 04:03 |
| Flannel | !best | Shrugz | 04:03 |
| ubotu | Shrugz: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 04:03 |
| SHMO | NigelS_, it doesn't, and i'm running hoary hedgehog (5.04). i'm trying to download the latest iso of ubuntu but i don't have enough RAM for storage and my partition is corrupted | 04:03 |
| bruenig | !botsnack | 04:03 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 04:03 |
| wease| | haha | 04:03 |
| wease| | yum be suse | 04:03 |
| wease| | fool | 04:03 |
| wease| | :P | 04:03 |
| aO|DB | astro76: well i dont have IRC on LIVE | 04:03 |
| mneptok | !enter > wease| | 04:03 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, most will include your nick in their line to you so it's highlighted and beeps.. | 04:03 |
| Shrugz | i was not conducting a poll ubotu i was asking a question | 04:03 |
| aO|DB | astro76: but theres sda1 -> N | 04:04 |
| red_one | i've booted from a CD, and i have mounted an ubuntu ISO from within liveUbuntu. how do i execute the install script from the ISO mountpoint? | 04:04 |
| nekostar | anyone know how to start a program so that its a restart mode in gnome-session ? | 04:04 |
| aO|DB | astro76: but theres sda1 -> NTFS (windows) | 04:04 |
| tantric132 | can someone please help with editing GRUB? I'm having problems loading into windows on the hd(0,0) partition... | 04:04 |
| wease| | hahaha | 04:04 |
| nekostar | tantric132 mm? | 04:04 |
| two_bits | I cannot connect my wireless to a particular hidden essid | 04:04 |
| wease| | that was unny | 04:04 |
| as | test | 04:04 |
| wease| | *funny | 04:04 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, Evolution comes with ubuntu and works well. korganizer is another then you could also install zDesktop from zimbra.. | 04:04 |
| aO|DB | astro76: sda2 (which is extended) with only one thing under it (sda5 --> storeage) | 04:04 |
| SHMO | NigelS_? | 04:05 |
| mjw- | two_bits then unhide it :) | 04:05 |
| two_bits | i think the problem stems from the fact that one router is broadcasting two different essids, and i was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this | 04:05 |
| aO|DB | then the linux part and swap | 04:05 |
| two_bits | mjw-: unfortunately, this is my school network | 04:05 |
| Shrugz | yah i tried evolution Scunizi but it did not work for me | 04:05 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, are you looking for specific features? | 04:05 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, I've been working on this for awhile now and can't seem to get it to work. I opened /boot/grub/menu.lst and adding the Windows thing at the very bottom and when I reboot and press Windows on the GRUB menu I get a Error 22: No such partition | 04:06 |
| nekostar | !paste | 04:06 |
| two_bits | its the georgia tech wireless network, if anyone knows about that | 04:06 |
| Shrugz | just one able to connect to a stmp and or pop3 server | 04:06 |
| nekostar | !flood | 04:06 |
| nekostar | mm bots not here atm | 04:06 |
| nekostar | one sec | 04:06 |
| Shrugz | so i can check my email via my website that i own | 04:06 |
| lap | how can I enable my dual-screen with an 7600 GS nvidia ? | 04:06 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: Use evolution. It's the ltitle mail icon on the top of your screen (in the middle of the three) | 04:06 |
| PJIRCtest | ç | 04:06 |
| lap | i cannot install nvidia-settings 'cuz it want to remove my nvidia drivers | 04:06 |
| nekostar | http://pastebin.com/m5fe9b6bf | 04:06 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, include my nick when answering. type first few characters then hit tab to complete otherwise your messages dissappear in the morass. | 04:06 |
| nekostar | first off thats my /boot/grub/menu.lst tantric132 | 04:07 |
| nekostar | now can it let you boot into ANY of the partitions? | 04:07 |
| nekostar | like linux? | 04:07 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: back... still no luck with compiz running... desktop loaded faster this time though (could just be chance) | 04:07 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, so what you're saying is you want to get to your pop email via your personal site.. right? | 04:07 |
| wease| | hammer89, seems to me that compiz is draggin you down for reasons i cant help | 04:08 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, can yuou explain | 04:08 |
| Scunizi | !mail > Scunizi | 04:08 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi yes that's exactly what i am saying | 04:08 |
| wease| | hammer89, id suggest uninstalling compiz and performing a clean reboot to see how it goes without compiz | 04:09 |
| Hammer89 | wease|: possibly... there seem to be deeper problems though... just from what I can see (stuff not initializing properly, etc...) | 04:09 |
| nekostar | tantric132 i mean can you not boot into any operating systems or just windows you cannot get to | 04:09 |
| nekostar | and is it on the same physical hdd | 04:09 |
| bruenig | wease|, reboot? have you confused this with the ##windows channel? | 04:09 |
| Hammer89 | bruenig: lol | 04:09 |
| nekostar | bruenig lol.... it is called for now and then tho :P | 04:09 |
| jpeterman | Why does it seem that every other Linux kernal has a CPU-leak for Netowrk manager? | 04:09 |
| astro76 | aO|DB: it's hard to tell you what to do without understanding your physical setup | 04:09 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, yeah. i can boot into the three ubuntu options, just not windows. at first, Windows wasn't even on the list(well it was when I first formatted, but disapeared) so I added a line at the end of menu.lst | 04:09 |
| lap | hello ? | 04:10 |
| wease| | bruenig, no, i simply call a reboot in linux as a ctrl-backspace | 04:10 |
| lap | someone to help me PLS ? | 04:10 |
| bruenig | jpeterman, linux kernel and network manager? do you know what you are talking about | 04:10 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, sounds like that would be a server related program to access pop. Of course you'd have to do something on the web page to pipe access via html.. You might try asking in #ubuntu-server. | 04:10 |
| lap | dual-screen with nvidia 7600 GS | 04:10 |
| bruenig | restarting x is not a reboot nor anything even related to it | 04:10 |
| nekostar | tantric132 ok boot into the ubuntu then | 04:10 |
| lap | without nvidia-settings | 04:10 |
| wease| | bruenig, it is close enough for me | 04:10 |
| jpeterman | bruenig not sure. all i know is every few times i update linux kernels network manager all of a sudden starts consuming 98% of CPU after being up for about 20minutes | 04:10 |
| wease| | i rarely reboot my computer | 04:10 |
| bruenig | that's like saying restarting firefox is rebooting | 04:10 |
| wease| | thats as close as i get | 04:10 |
| nekostar | lap you want dual mons without nvidia driver? | 04:11 |
| nekostar | lol | 04:11 |
| MrPiracy | !MPlayer | 04:11 |
| lap | nekostar: no.. | 04:11 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, im in ubuntu right now | 04:11 |
| jpeterman | bruenig it just started 5minutes after adding the new kernel today, didnt have it happen for the last few months | 04:11 |
| bruenig | jpeterman, that cannot have anything to do with the kernel, but I would recommend just not using it | 04:11 |
| lap | nekostar: i want dualscreen with nvidia-glx-new installed. | 04:11 |
| wease| | bruenig, you would be right | 04:11 |
| nekostar | tantric132 ok in terminal do: sudo fdisk -l | 04:11 |
| Trogdor3634 | Gutsy question: How would I edit a configuration file in the usr/share folder? Konqueror-superuser won't let me modify the file, nor will text editors | 04:11 |
| wease| | but i dont use windows | 04:11 |
| lap | and I cannot install nvidia-settings | 04:11 |
| bruenig | jpeterman, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc | 04:11 |
| Hammer89 | wease|: would compiz really have any effect on elements of the desktop not drawing properly? | 04:11 |
| wease| | so my way of a "reboot" is different | 04:11 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi if that's the case then there's no need for me to ask in that channel i think i already know the problem you just opened my eyes is all its my box so i can fix it from there :) thank you for your input | 04:11 |
| jpeterman | bruenig Ceteris parabis, what else could it be? | 04:12 |
| nekostar | http://pastebin.com/m1d67931 >> lap | 04:12 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, np :) | 04:12 |
| Shrugz | :) | 04:12 |
| bruenig | jpeterman, network manager being sucky | 04:12 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, ok | 04:12 |
| nekostar | lap nvidia-settings is already installe | 04:12 |
| nekostar | d | 04:12 |
| jpeterman | bruenig hadnt happened for 3+months | 04:12 |
| nekostar | its built into the drivers | 04:12 |
| nekostar | just run as root lol | 04:12 |
| bruenig | jpeterman, still | 04:12 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: You want to host your own mail, on your home box, so you can connect (to your home box) and get your email? | 04:12 |
| nekostar | tantric132 paste that on www.pastebin.com | 04:12 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi wow i am a newbie to ubuntu a friend of mine named chris introduced me to it. | 04:12 |
| Trogdor3634 | Gutsy question: How would I edit a configuration file in the usr/share folder? Konqueror-superuser won't let me modify the file, nor will text editors. | 04:13 |
| wease| | hammer89, IMO yes | 04:13 |
| bruenig | oh chris introduced you | 04:13 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: Or you want to connect to your ISPs (whatever) POP and SMTP servers with an email client? | 04:13 |
| Shrugz | No Flannel i want to connect to my box a box i purchased from a friend | 04:13 |
| SHMO | ok well it's been atleast 24 hours in this chat room trying to solve my problem, but i guess when it comes to support, you get what you pay for, so thanks for the help (or lack there-of) | 04:13 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: okay... I'll try totally disabling compiz then | 04:13 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, It's fun stuff.. welcome | 04:13 |
| mjw- | Trogdor3634 sudo nano /usr/share/whatever | 04:13 |
| nekostar | Hammer89 if no joi here then try #compiz-fusion for related problems ^^ | 04:13 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, http://pastebin.com/m442cd0d9 | 04:13 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: Right. So, you want a central mail repository, that grab sstuff from various POP sources | 04:13 |
| nekostar | tantric132 bingo | 04:14 |
| nekostar | that first one sda1 is your windows | 04:14 |
| Shrugz | Bruenig you might now know the chris im speaking of but maybe you do or where you just being a smart allic lol | 04:14 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: brb | 04:14 |
| nekostar | now post your /boot/grub/menu.lst for me tantric132 | 04:14 |
| wease| | compiz can be sketchy depending on overall hardware and what not | 04:14 |
| Shrugz | Flannel like windows outlook but better | 04:14 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, http://pastebin.com/m60b1e9d9 | 04:15 |
| Trogdor3634 | mjw-... any way to do it in GUI? | 04:15 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: compiz is disabled... things are still drawing wrong | 04:15 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: Outlook is just a mail client, if I have all my mail on outlook on box A, can I view that mail on box B? | 04:15 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: logged in faster, though | 04:15 |
| Shrugz | Flannel yes that's what im saying that's what i need | 04:15 |
| mjw- | Trogdor3634 I know gksu is used with graphical programs in gnome, don't know the one for kde off the top of my head | 04:15 |
| talcite | blah someone needs to rewrite flash | 04:15 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: you need a mail client? or you want to view your mail (stored on box A) from box B? | 04:16 |
| talcite | adobe's on crack | 04:16 |
| Trogdor3634 | mje- I'm on gnome | 04:16 |
| wease| | hammer89, it is close to a solution but not as well as i wanted to hear | 04:16 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: the windows on my desktop are randomly flashing :P | 04:16 |
| MrPiracy | is it possible to install IE on ubuntu? | 04:16 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, I think I just go an idea bud. Can you do me a favor? Look at the bottom of what I sent you. See where it says second drive? | 04:16 |
| nekostar | tantric132 do you have multiple hard drives? | 04:16 |
| compwiz18 | !ie4linux | MrPiracy | 04:16 |
| zelrikriando | lol MrPiracy who would do that | 04:16 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, Flannel, maybe zimbra ? | 04:16 |
| Shrugz | Flannel I Want a email client to retreive my email from my box's email setting's directly onto my computer | 04:16 |
| mjw- | Trogdor3634 then use gksu gedit /usr/share/whatever | 04:16 |
| juicE_ | wow... why would one want IE on Linux | 04:16 |
| juicE_ | :D | 04:16 |
| Flannel | MrPiracy: through wine, yes. check out "ies4linux" | 04:16 |
| compwiz18 | MrPiracy: google ies4linux | 04:17 |
| mjw- | !gksu | Trogdor3634 | 04:17 |
| nekostar | ha | 04:17 |
| wease| | hammer89, somebody else may chime in to help but i would consider reinstalling gnome 2.20.1 | 04:17 |
| nekostar | thats probably it | 04:17 |
| Starnestommy | for testing sites for IE compatability? | 04:17 |
| tantric132 | nekostar, if I replaced second drive with /dev/sda2 | 04:17 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: right, thats just a regular mail client. Evolution will work fine for you. | 04:17 |
| compwiz18 | for sites that don't worok in FF? | 04:17 |
| MrPiracy | zelrikriando: well ... there are some pages that can only be seen from IE | 04:17 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi zimbra? ill look into that | 04:17 |
| MrPiracy | !ie4linux | 04:17 |
| nekostar | just make it the same as the ubuntu entryies | 04:17 |
| juicE_ | that was a rhetorical question (A) | 04:17 |
| Hammer89 | wease|: I'm nearly desperate enough to try it | 04:17 |
| MrPiracy | !ies4linux | 04:17 |
| Flannel | MrPiracy: you'll need to google, we dont have a factoid | 04:17 |
| zelrikriando | MrPiracy: installing IE will make things worse | 04:17 |
| nekostar | hm actually | 04:17 |
| nekostar | hey | 04:17 |
| compwiz18 | zelrikriando: how would it make it worse? | 04:17 |
| nekostar | yeah | 04:17 |
| Shrugz | Flannel omg i just finished telling Scunizi that it does not work for me Evolution that iis | 04:18 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, zimbra is now owned by Yahoo but it's opensource. there's a networked server addition and desktop accessable via http from any browser. | 04:18 |
| wease| | hammer89, its not a big thing to reinstall | 04:18 |
| nekostar | change it to hdd (1,0) | 04:18 |
| zelrikriando | compwiz18: by using IE you play M$'s game | 04:18 |
| wassa | hi newb question.. I installed RPM in gutsy using sudo apt rpm.. i am trying to install the vmware player.rpm ... I have no idea how to install this thing though.. do i have to do it through the terminal?? | 04:18 |
| wease| | it just seems there are corrupt areas therein | 04:18 |
| Hammer89 | wease|: except the theming on my laptop has hours of work behind it :P | 04:18 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi Barfs At Anything owned by yahoo sorry that's just me | 04:18 |
| compwiz18 | zelrikriando: fair enough, but if you've gotta access a site, then you've gotta access the site... that's the only way | 04:18 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: What about it doesn't work for you? "It doesn't work" doesn't tell us a whole lot about whats going wrong | 04:18 |
| astro76 | !alien | wassa | 04:18 |
| zelrikriando | compwiz18: I dont want to access corrupted sites | 04:18 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, they just bought it in the last couple of months. It's a very good app. | 04:19 |
| wassa | !alien | 04:19 |
| astro76 | wassa: you use alien to convert rpms but it's highly *not* recommended | 04:19 |
| compwiz18 | zelrikriando: then don't install IE :) | 04:19 |
| zelrikriando | I dont | 04:19 |
| zelrikriando | :) | 04:19 |
| Shrugz | Flannel i configured it correctly Evolution but it did not connect maybe its my network maybe its my box i have no clue at this point in time | 04:19 |
| wassa | astro76 why can't i just install it in some normal method? | 04:19 |
| wease| | hammer89, if its that big a deal then you may want to wait for somebody who can help solve it from a command line as i cannot at this point. | 04:20 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi i dont think there going to be buying anything for awhile have you by any chance looked at the news on Yahoo lately | 04:20 |
| Flannel | Shrugz: alright, well, we'll be happy to help you diagnose it. If you're looking for non-evolution alternatives, there are plenty. One that comes to mind is Thunderbird | 04:20 |
| ubotu | wassa: 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) | 04:20 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: okay... not sure how long I can wait though... it's pretty much unusable | 04:20 |
| wassa | is there no way to install this without installing some other application?? why does everything with this build have to be so friggin challenging? | 04:20 |
| G_Benson | i have several parts of a rar archive (part1.rar, part2.rar, etc.) how do i extract the content so that it is joined back together? (ubuntu 7.10) | 04:20 |
| Scunizi | Shrugz, no.. they spent 10' of millions on zimbra | 04:20 |
| wassa | hmmm so I can't install the vmware player then? | 04:20 |
| ushimitsudoki | G_Benson: archive manager should do that for you automatically | 04:20 |
| Shrugz | Flannel Okay ill look into thunderbird sounds like something created for mysql lol | 04:21 |
| Flannel | wassa: sure, get a vmware deb, and you wont need to use alien | 04:21 |
| stroyan | wassa: Using alien lets you install and remove a package with apt tools like the rest of the system. With rpm you would install with rpm -i vmware.rpm | 04:21 |
| wease| | im off to bed | 04:21 |

| Hammer89 | weasel: here's one possibility (maybe)... I used to have KDE installed as well as gnome... I've since removed KDE (I think I still have enlightenment installed, though)... is it possible that some configuration file from KDE is messing me up? | 04:21 |
| ushimitsudoki | Scunizi: and zimbra's future is in serious doubt because of MS trying to buyout Yahoo. Read the zimbra forums | 04:21 |
| wassa | what is vmware deb? | 04:21 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi Yahoo is in the middle of negotiateing with microsoft microsoft wants to buy out Yahoo for some where's around 46 Billion Dollors | 04:21 |
| Trogdor3634 | mje- thanks, I opened gedit via gksu and edited the file from there. Does GKSU show up in the default ubuntu menubar? | 04:22 |
| Scunizi | ushimitsudoki, Shrugz i know.. time will tell what will actually happen. | 04:22 |
| zelrikriando | that will not save microsoft from copalsing | 04:22 |
| mjw- | Trogdor3634 you could make a launcher for gksu gedit if that's what you're getting at | 04:22 |
| Shrugz | Scunizi well i will half to talk with a admin friend of mine who work's for yahoo he will half to tell me about it on what's going on | 04:22 |
| wease| | hammer89, no. they normally run separately from my understanding. KDE is KDE, Gnome is Gnome, XFCE is XFCE, etc etc | 04:22 |
| Trogdor3634 | I know I can, I'm asking if it's already on there and I missed it | 04:22 |
| Hammer89 | weasel: okay | 04:23 |

| Scunizi | Shrugz, if it's in dought grab it soon. | 04:23 |
| Flannel | Trogdor3634: thats incorrect | 04:23 |
| astro76 | wassa: I'm really not aware of the best way to install vmware on Ubuntu currently, but you would be better off with their .tar package rather than .rpm | 04:23 |
| astro76 | that is for certain | 04:23 |
| Trogdor3634 | Flannel: as in "Partition Editor" rather than GParted | 04:23 |
| Scurubuz | hi | 04:24 |
| Flannel | Trogdor3634: The file itself is still gparted, just because a menu entry may not be, doesn't mean its been renamed. | 04:24 |

| Scunizi | Shrugz, :) | 04:24 |
| Trogdor3634 | That's what I'm asking - are there any menu entries for gksu by default that I'm missing? | 04:24 |
| G_Benson | ushimitsudoki i was expecting an iso image, instead i get a bunch of files | 04:24 |
| Flannel | Trogdor3634: what do you mean "for gksu"? | 04:25 |
| Scunizi | Trogdor3634, nope but you can make some if you like. | 04:25 |

| iratik | I don't know why this is happening... but when i switch on Appearance>Visual Effects>Normal... I lose the title bars and window frames to any window. I also can't see the terminal if I pull it up. This is on a fresh upgrade to gutsy from feisty. I hope someone here has heard of this issue before... | 04:26 |
| Scurubuz | :) | 04:26 |
| ushimitsudoki | G_Benson: archive manager will support automatically re-joining the .rar archives ... for example, if you click on the .rar one, then all the .r00-r99 and so forth will be included when the file is extracted. Check what you get when just dbl-clicking one one of the .rar files | 04:26 |
| CVD-PR | probando | 04:27 |
| ushimitsudoki | iratik: this is because compiz has turned off "window decorations" probably | 04:27 |
| Trogdor3634 | From the manual: gksu is a frontend to su and gksudo is a frontend to sudo. Their primary purpose is to run graphical commands that need root without the need to run an X terminal emulator and using su directly | 04:27 |
| norty | How do i use ls to only list the files and not directories? | 04:27 |
| stroyan | KlrSpz: I put each per host config file in /var/lib/backuppc/pc/hostname/config.pl | 04:27 |
| CVD-PR | ya misno regreso restarting | 04:27 |
| iratik | ushimitsudoki: how might I address this issue? | 04:27 |
| Trogdor3634 | Hence, if the given instructions are "Open up an X terminal emulator and type in gksu..." | 04:28 |
| Trogdor3634 | doesn't make much sense | 04:28 |
| ushimitsudoki | iratik: I do it my using the compiz settings manager to make sure window decorations are enabled. I don't know a better solution (but I wish I did!) | 04:28 |
| KlrSpz | stroyan: yeah, but how do i tell it to connect to each individual one? | 04:28 |
| Trogdor3634 | any idea why it isn't on the default menu? | 04:28 |
| KlrSpz | stroyan: it seems like they all share a common connection schema | 04:28 |
| iratik | ushimitsudoki: how do i open the compiz settings manager? | 04:28 |
| ushimitsudoki | iratik: it should be under System > Preferences > Advanced Desktop Effect Settings (if you have the compiz settings package installed - I don't think it is installed by default) | 04:30 |
| norty | Can someone help me? I want to list only the files not directories , how can I do that using ls.. or some other command?? | 04:30 |
| stroyan | KlrSpz: You can override the setting of variables like $Conf{XferMethod} in each hosts config file. | 04:31 |
| xeom | How can i stop keyboard lag its making it impossible to type with repeat keys and impossible to play any games.I can ussualyyyyyyyyyy finish typing a word before it shows up.<- see what i mean about the repeat keys just one tap. | 04:31 |

| KlrSpz | stroyan: well i'm config'ing from the cgi gui | 04:31 |
| ushimitsudoki | iratik: um, i think compizconfig-settings-manager? (not sure about that) | 04:31 |
| Trogdor3634 | xeom: System > Preferences > Keyboard | 04:31 |
| iratik | thanks | 04:32 |
| vtail | Hello. Anybody knows how to install Firefox 3b2 on Ubuntu 7.10 on x86-64 _AND_ get flash support? | 04:32 |
| KlrSpz | stroyan: ahhhh.. i just found it... nm | 04:33 |
| stroyan | KlrSpz: As far as I can tell some of the host setup must be done by editing config files as text. There is documentation on it in the left margin of the GUI. | 04:33 |
| xeom | Trogdor i know but that lag contiues and i need to use repeat keys its a problem with the timing of the keyboard | 04:33 |
| iratik | ushimitsudoki: where do you configure window decorations in compizconfig settings manager? | 04:34 |
| Trogdor3634 | xeom: On that configuration window ("Keyboard Preferences"), there should be an option for Repeat Keys Delay, and you should set it to Long | 04:34 |
| ushimitsudoki | iratik: it is under the "Effects" section and is called "Window Decoration" | 04:34 |

| xeom | Troogdor i know about it. Still doesnt not fix the lag issue. For instance when im playing a game i will keep moving in the same direction or take to long to jump even with repeat keys on | 04:35 |
| wobblywu | any ideas? and, even better, a solution? :) | 04:35 |

| chaosrl | where are screenshots saved in gutsy? i can't seem to find them | 04:54 |
| travisat | wassa: just kvm/qemu then you have to modprobe the kvm modules and it should work, you might have to reboot after you install it | 04:54 |
| ComunisTico | ive got a laptop with an internal 512Mb ram | 04:55 |
| jeffMASTERflex | chaosrl: usually on your desktop | 04:55 |
| b4l74z4r | i know, but is it the swap partition placed at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the disk? | 04:55 |
| ComunisTico | i recently added 1Gb to my xternal slot for the ram | 04:55 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, no and I'm getting frustrating. Going on two hours now XD. Can you explain why on http://pastebin.com/d26786c8d next to the /dev/sda1 it has a * under boot? | 04:55 |
| stroyan | Redrose: It should have a xdpyinfo line something like "resolution: 98x98 dots per inch" when broken the values are very different. | 04:55 |
| bluej774 | I need sed to replace any new lines with two quotation marks and a new line. Can anyone help me with what command I should give sed? | 04:55 |
| wassa | travisat ... how do i access the gui? I assume there is a gui? | 04:55 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, that means its a bootable partition | 04:55 |
| ComunisTico | works good, until it crashes | 04:55 |
| gamerdude | any x-chat scripters on that could help me figure out how to get scripts to work? | 04:56 |
| Redrose | 112x968 | 04:56 |
| ComunisTico | it only happens when i got the ram on | 04:56 |
| travisat | wassa: no gui to my knowledge | 04:56 |
| chaosrl | jeffMASTERflex: i can't find them on my desktop, in my home folder, or in my pictures folder. is there anywhere else? | 04:56 |
| wassa | fucccccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk | 04:56 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: if you click on your network icon and check setings or go to system settings and chenk networking - how is the card setup? | 04:56 |
| Starnestommy | virtualbox-ose has a gui, wassa | 04:56 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: have you used the cmdline at all? | 04:56 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, what exactly is your problem? can boot into linux but not windows? | 04:56 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, ok so any ideas? I've tried everything. hd(0,0) isn't right, becuase the first 0 represents the disk? and the second represents the partition? | 04:56 |
| travisat | wassa: oh come on its really easy to use from cmd line | 04:56 |
| jeffMASTERflex | chaosrl: if you use the "take a screenshot" tool rom accessories, it tells you where it is saving the picture after you take the screenshot | 04:56 |
| SASQUATCH | i've used the cmd line in as much as i tried things that were suggested from forum posts, with little luck | 04:56 |
| foso | hey all, my flash problems were solved by deleting gnash and restarting firefox in case someone else has the same issue later | 04:56 |
| wassa | so do i need to do the sudo qemu ? | 04:56 |
| travisat | wassa: huh? | 04:57 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, it all started when Windows disapeared off of the GRUB menu when I started my computerm, so i'm attempting to add it back so I can load into windows | 04:57 |
| Hammer89 | *repeats* restarted my computer and I'm back in Ubuntu.... but things aren't drawing properly (graphics are kinda screwed up)... and it's running _really_ sluggishly and unstable... anyone have any idea what could be wrong? this is getting pretty urgent | 04:57 |
| NigelS_ | tantric132: because that is the boot drive | 04:57 |
| chaosrl | jeffMASTERflex: that's what i was afraid of. i'm using it and it's just making the "busy" mouse pointer for a few seconds, and goes away. it did used to ask me, but not anymore. | 04:57 |
| Redrose | is there a tool I can run to help fix it? right now the DPI is 112x968 | 04:57 |
| wassa | i installed both kvm and qemu ... but i don't see how to access or start them?? | 04:57 |
| === rahal_ is now known as rahal | ||
| travisat | wassa: I suggest you look on the ubuntu forums for kvm/qemu how to | 04:57 |
| wassa | ok | 04:57 |
| wassa | back to the forums.. | 04:57 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: how long has the issue been going on? | 04:57 |
| jeffMASTERflex | chaosrl: then you have a different issue altogether. if you use compiz you can probably use its screenshot plugin to take a screenshot | 04:58 |
| ouellettesr | hello, can i set a baud rate in a udev rules file? | 04:58 |
| wassa | !qemu | 04:58 |
| ubotu | qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 04:58 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, so originally, that last part of my /boot/grub/menu.lst wasn't even there - someone suggested adding it, but what he said to add didn't work so I have been changing things around. | 04:58 |
| chaosrl | jeffMASTERflex: ah, i forgot about that. i'll give it a shot. Thanks! | 04:58 |
| SASQUATCH | i have to two ethernet ports on my system, one built into the mobo and another added separately so they are eth0 and eth1 | 04:58 |
| travisat | wassa: use that but you can replace winxp with other x86 based systems | 04:58 |
| SASQUATCH | when i set them to dhcp in network connections i get no connectivity | 04:58 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: it's been getting buggy for a few days now (where I'd have to log in and out a few times to get it running).... it only got serious today | 04:58 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: ok, without knowing what state your network card is in it's quite hard to see what's wrong; but - from a terminal let's first give your card an ip address | 04:58 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: what's the IP of your router? | 04:58 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: I installed one update last night... and another tonight | 04:59 |
| stroyan | Redrose: The problem is discussed at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10304 You may be able to correct it by adding a manual "DisplaySize line" to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as discussed at the URL. | 04:59 |
| wobblywu | my ubuntu just crashed (required a hard reset), and now gnome has gone colour-crazy; http://img516.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotubuntuforumsmhq2.png | 04:59 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: do you recall what those updates were? | 04:59 |
| wobblywu | whenever any text moves in a window (nautilus, firefox, xchat), fonts screw up and the background (if not already black) becomes black (like in the screenshot) | 04:59 |
| wobblywu | any ideas? | 04:59 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: some kernel updates... don't know what they were for other than that... | 04:59 |
| SASQUATCH | ip of router = 192.168.0.1 | 04:59 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: and have you changed your hardware at all ie., usb items | 04:59 |
| phuzion | Hey, I'm looking to put a little load monitor in my taskbar at the top, next to where it says my name. Anyone got any ideas? | 04:59 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, mine is root (0,0) but you said that didn't work correct? | 04:59 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: I'm using a laptop... no hardware changes at all | 04:59 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, mine is root (0,0) but you said that didn't work correct | 04:59 |
| graelb | Hi there... my TTY's don't work... Nvidia video card, on a laptop, running the newest nvidia drivers installed with the restricted driver manager... | 05:00 |
| === gouki_ is now known as gouki | ||
| gamerdude | hammer89: running 7.10 32bit or 64bit? | 05:00 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: ok, so if for this one we try setting: sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.100 | 05:00 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, root (hd0,0) sorry | 05:00 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: 7.10 32bit | 05:00 |
| chaosrl | jeffMASTERflex: haha, compiz plugin worked like a charm. you just saved me a TON of trouble, thanks so much! | 05:00 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: and then sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 05:00 |
| jeffMASTERflex | chaosrl: no prob. | 05:00 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, i'm not sure. see I'm changing around two different things here. tell me what it says at the very top....# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for a non-linux OS | 05:00 |
| tantric132 | # on /dev/sda that part | 05:00 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, what is yours on? | 05:01 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: are you familiar with the recovery kernel in the boot loader? | 05:01 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: no... | 05:01 |
| pg | Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? | 05:01 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, mine is hda1 which translates to hd0,0 | 05:01 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: it's not complicated, are you dual booting? | 05:01 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: yes... with vista | 05:01 |
| xeom | how can i "add "ec_intr=0" to your boot line" | 05:02 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: okay, when you boot up you will have an option to choose the recovery kernel | 05:02 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, so what does sda1 translate to? | 05:02 |
| sn00zer | tantric132, mine aren't sda drives though, maybe (sd0,0) would do it? | 05:02 |
| cafuego | xeom: You're not allowed to add anything to my boot line, thankyou. | 05:02 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: I have no idea how to use it, though... | 05:02 |
| tantric132 | that's actually a good idea sn00zer. one sec | 05:02 |
| cafuego | xeom: You can add it to your own though, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 05:02 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: k just a sec | 05:02 |
| Hammer89 | gamerdude: okay | 05:03 |
| SASQUATCH | NigelS, I typed the commands and received no errors, but still no connection | 05:03 |
| quest23 | does anyone use the ubuntu ultimate edition????? | 05:03 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: you can't even ping 192.168.0.1? | 05:03 |
| cafuego | quest23: There's only one edition as far as i know | 05:03 |
| xeom | cafuego: Thanks that was just a copy paste.How can i edit the file i forgot the command | 05:04 |
| NigelS_ | I suspect this is a play on vistas innumerable versions :) | 05:04 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, no that can't work because I'm looking at a working example off of a website. it's exactly like this: | 05:04 |

| visualdensity | hi guys, does having SSH access means I can also do an rsync? Or do they run on different ports? | 05:04 |
| cafuego | xeom: sudo nano or sudo gedit | 05:04 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: perhaps if you paste the output of ifconfig and route to a pastebin | 05:04 |
| xinx | hi | 05:04 |

| === PhilKC_ is now known as PhilKC | ||
| xeom | cafuego: thanks a bunch | 05:04 |
| cafuego | no worries | 05:05 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, did you get that or do I need to post it on a site | 05:05 |
| xinx | can someone give me a hand please? with ubuntu I have an issue :[ im new with this OS | 05:05 |
| sn00zer | i got it | 05:05 |
| NigelS_ | xinx: just ask away | 05:05 |
| SASQUATCH | NigelS, sorry i understand ifconfig, but am not sure what you mean by pasting it to a pastebin, i'm not to knowledgable on these sorts of things | 05:05 |
| xinx | I had windows xp I installed ubuntu and I just made a partition | 05:05 |
| xinx | I didnt format the drive and I can choose when I boot what OS to use | 05:06 |
| cafuego | xeom: You'll probably want to add it to the line starting with "# kopt=" as well as the actual line with your kenrel, so it will remain after kernel updates. | 05:06 |
| tantric132 | sn00zer, http://pastebin.com/d38afd564 | 05:06 |
| xinx | is not showing and I have many information paperwork and stuff on windows | 05:06 |

| badkitty | back | 05:07 |
| xinx | for ubuntu | 05:07 |

| xinx | no is not showing | 05:07 |
| xinx | windows | 05:07 |
| cafuego | xinx: can you paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l' to a pastebin? | 05:07 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: it's a place to paste content - trouble being if your linux machine isn't online....it sounds like your network interface isn't coming up for some reason | 05:08 |
| xinx | you know when you boot it shows a selection what to use ubuntu or windows | 05:08 |
| xinx | and it only go straight to ubuntu | 05:08 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, no and i'm still haven problems. I've been working on it ever since you left haha. must have rebooted 10 times. let me show you my current. both my menu.lst and my fdisk and you can see what I need | 05:08 |
| gamerdude | hammer89: you have all the latest updates correct? | 05:08 |
| quest23 | do your files show up ???on ubuntu?? | 05:08 |

| xinx | I install ubuntu on a partition that I made | 05:11 |
| NigelS_ | SASQUATCH: if you can rule out a hardware problem, cable problem etc then it should just be a matter of configuring the software - but plainly something is up since obtaining a DHCP lease is automated and should def work out of the box | 05:11 |

| astro76 | quest23: not recommended, it's not official, not supported, and uses the terrible automatix | 05:15 |

| thiemster | cafuego: couldn't xinx's windows partition just not be mounted or does fdisk list unmounted partions too. | 05:16 |
| cafuego | thiemster: fdisk reads the partition info off disk. | 05:16 |
| Starnestommy | gamerdude: try #xchat | 05:16 |

| xinx | It didnt say anything about format the disk only to select the space | 05:16 |
| quest23 | hum.....ive been using it for a while now...worked for me fine...all the little kinks worked out the box...didnt have to configure or set up nothing | 05:17 |

| thiemster | cafuego: are there tools to recover deleted partitions? | 05:17 |
| quest23 | just checking | 05:17 |
| xinx | and I did it | 05:17 |
| gamerdude | starnestommy: yeah i did, it's completely dead there heh | 05:17 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, should it be (hd1,1)? Becuase the Ubuntu is (hd1,2) in menu.lst and it is on the same hard drive and is one partition behind the ntfs(xp) | 05:17 |
| nickrud | tantric132: add the lines map (hd0) (hd1) <newline> map (hd1)(hd0) <newline> between the title and root lines in your windows stanza. You have to fool windows into thinking it's running from the first drive | 05:17 |
| cafuego | thiemster: Yes-ish, but I have no experience with them. | 05:17 |
| thiemster | xinx: you could search google for finding tools to recover deleted partions, but they may not work very well | 05:18 |
| quest23 | yeh xinx..there is ways to get those file...unfortunatley i dont know how..dont stress out yet | 05:18 |
| gamerdude | i figured with over 1k peeps here someone would be familiar with xchat scripts haha | 05:18 |
| nickrud | tantric132: it's saying it's the 3d partition, sda3 . Grub counts partitions starting at 0 | 05:18 |
| xinx | omg | 05:18 |
| BagelMaster | It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how? | 05:18 |

| thiemster | xinx: when you installed linux, did you manually or automatically partition it? | 05:19 |
| cafuego | xinx: linux will have not overwritten ALL data, only some parts. So you may be lucky and able to recovery a fair bit. | 05:19 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, http://pastebin.com/d75462d3 anything you see out of the norm? | 05:19 |

| badkitty | cafuego: Ohhhh....yah thats not fun.. how did you install ubuntu? | 05:19 |
| tantric132 | hahaha mybad | 05:19 |
| xinx | I put the cd and install it from boot | 05:20 |
| xsnoopyx | hey does anyone here know how to connect and transfer files from hd while on livecd to a windows share ? | 05:20 |
| cometin | #biblioteca | 05:20 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, also look at the on /dev/sda....should it be sda1? | 05:20 |
| cafuego | xsnoopyx: Mount the hd and the windows share, then copy. | 05:20 |
| quest23 | i should have prompt you to choose auto or manual partition | 05:20 |
| thiemster | xsnoopyx: when i use ubuntu live cd, it always has the main hard drive as a drive listed on it | 05:20 |
| badkitty | xinx: Yeah but did you install only to the partition you made for it or did you select guided use entire disk? | 05:20 |
| thiemster | xsnoopyx: it's already mounted | 05:20 |
| xinx | to share | 05:21 |
| === NastyAccident2 is now known as NastyAccident | ||
| xsnoopyx | sorry, the hd will mount, but the share will not mount! | 05:21 |
| xinx | and I took 50 gb I remember | 05:21 |
| nickrud | tantric132: that's only a comment, it has no effect on setup. Any line that starts with a # is a comment | 05:21 |
| graelb | my TTY's in ubuntu don't work... Nvidia video card, on a laptop, running the newest nvidia drivers installed with the restricted driver manager... | 05:21 |
| graelb | Don't work = ctrl+alt+F1 drops to a "TTY" which works, but i can't see anything on the screen. I can log in, and run commands, but i'm doing it all blind | 05:21 |
| NigelS_ | xinx: it looks like you made a 50gb partition at the start of your hd | 05:21 |
| thiemster | xnoopyx: sorry, i don't know too much about windows shares. good luck | 05:21 |
| xsnoopyx | thanks | 05:21 |
| xinx | yes I | 05:21 |
| xsnoopyx | anyone good with windows shares ? and the livecd? | 05:21 |
| BagelMaster | It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how? | 05:21 |
| xinx | the option was partition from the begining | 05:21 |
| tantric132 | duh! i'm an idiot. ok nickrud i'm going to try it. if I don't return with in 5 mins, SUCCESS! if I do, then you know...haha | 05:21 |
| thiemster | xinx: ooh, bad choice | 05:21 |
| NigelS_ | xinx: which would be where you windows partition was presumably? | 05:22 |
| xinx | and I noticed that but I didnt know what to choose | 05:22 |
| quest23 | yeh...you should have did a manual....and used up free space... | 05:22 |
| xinx | omg | 05:22 |
| nickrud | tantric132: don't leave me hanging ;) | 05:22 |
| quest23 | you probly wrote over your windows os | 05:22 |
| badkitty | xinx: Im guessing you installed over your windows partition | 05:22 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, thanks for the help! ill be back regardless because I need to ask you of one more simple thing =D | 05:22 |
| NigelS_ | xinx: if you don't understand something, it's a bad idea to choose to do it - especially if you're worried about losing data | 05:22 |
| xinx | but it didnt say anything about format the drive | 05:22 |
| badkitty | xinx in that case, your lucky that windows is so bloated, you may be able to recover some of your files | 05:22 |
| xinx | omg | 05:22 |
| badkitty | xinx: You should have backed the data up on your shiny new drive before you went ahead with the install | 05:23 |
| quest23 | yup | 05:23 |
| badkitty | xinx: I suggest getting a recovery disk somewhere very soon | 05:23 |
| xinx | well I tried to have ubuntu because of a friend told me is a good OS and to try it also I wanted to learn more about linux | 05:23 |
| thiemster | xinx: you should've used a live cd | 05:23 |
| NigelS_ | xinx: if you tear up the partition table it will kind of have the effect of losing it even if it doesn't mention the word format | 05:23 |
| badkitty | xinx: And do not install anything else until you get your files recovered as much as you can | 05:23 |
| xinx | badkitty recovery disk ? | 05:24 |
| badkitty | xinx: It is a great OS, I finally got rid of my dual boot system, and soley use ubuntu now | 05:24 |
| wassa | hey.. im trying to follow some instructions.. i get this error You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm' for the 384 MB of QEMU virtual RAM. | 05:24 |
| wassa | To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root: | 05:24 |
| wassa | umount /dev/shm | 05:24 |
| wassa | can someone explain what it means | 05:25 |
| xinx | I can stay on ubuntu as long I can get those files | 05:25 |
| xinx | are contacts and important data | 05:25 |
| xinx | like office files | 05:25 |
| badkitty | xinx: Yah you should look into some programs that can do recovery.. your files may not be erased, but the 'pointers' to them are missing.Recovery software digs beyond the pointers and extracts the raw files and lets you recover them | 05:25 |
| NigelS_ | we feel for you but it doesn't look good...there are tools for data recovery but there's a danger it was already overwritten by the install | 05:25 |
| thiemster | xinx: try http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1 | 05:25 |
| xinx | excel word etc,.. | 05:25 |
| xinx | ok | 05:26 |
| xinx | thank you ill try that website | 05:26 |
| thiemster | xinx: i saw it on a forum, but haven't used it | 05:26 |
| badkitty | thiemster: hmm sounds interesting i wanna take a peek at that site too | 05:26 |
| xhhux | hello | 05:27 |
| b4l74z4r | i want to create a dual boot, what would be easiest; install windows xp or ubuntu first? | 05:27 |
| badkitty | thiemster: Its a command line interface, maybe he would like a graphical interface | 05:27 |
| squidly | b4l74z4r: install windows first | 05:27 |
| genii | XP first | 05:27 |
| xinx | how can I use iso files on linux? like on windows? | 05:27 |
| badkitty | XP first for sure | 05:27 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 05:27 |
| genii | !iso | 05:27 |
| badkitty | xinx get a program called gmount-iso | 05:27 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 05:27 |
| squidly | just make sure you leave room for you linux partisions | 05:27 |
| thiemster | xinx: place it on a cd, then boot off the cd | 05:27 |
| xinx | like powerIso? | 05:28 |
| xinx | ok | 05:28 |
| thiemster | xinx: i think there's a tool already installed | 05:28 |
| gamerdude | xink: you might also want to take a look at these instructions to confirm wether windows is still there http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/12/23/ubrescue/ | 05:28 |
| mrb88 | Anyone know how to use "ifup" to point to a certain network module? | 05:28 |

| xinx | ok | 05:28 |
| xhhux | hi, im new | 05:28 |
| badkitty | xinx: You can do it from command line, but gmount is also a good program to use from graphical interface | 05:28 |
| tanubis_ | mrb88 network device? | 05:28 |
| BagelMaster | It seems the Ubuntu Wiki is out of date for the installation of my printer, as it says to get a .tar.gz from the Gentoo wiki, but Gentoo now only has .ebuilds, can I install an .ebuild, and if yes, how? | 05:28 |
| gamerdude | xinx: if it's still in tact, those directions will help you recover it | 05:28 |
| mrb88 | eth0 should be going to vmxnet | 05:28 |
| goodman | how can open xp in ubuntu | 05:28 |
| thiemster | badkitty: i think gmount may be part of the website i recommended | 05:29 |
| mrb88 | tanubis_ - how would I set that? Security update borked it. | 05:29 |
| astro76 | BagelMaster: no you can't use an ebuild | 05:29 |
| thiemster | badkitty: nevermind, forget that | 05:29 |
| squidly | ok could someone tell me why a drive keeps getting picked up as a raid device wevery time I reboot? | 05:29 |
| xinx | im reading | 05:29 |
| soldats | BagelMaster: the gentoo wiki should have a tar.gz | 05:29 |
| xinx | ill follow everything as it says | 05:29 |
| tanubis_ | mrb88 typically I just use ifup / ifdown <device> after using ifconfig <device> to configure how I want it to connect | 05:29 |
| CoasterMaster | has the recent local root exploit in been patched for Ubuntu? | 05:29 |
| tanubis_ | I usually use wireless though | 05:29 |
| mrb88 | tanubiis_ what's ifconfig device | 05:30 |
| gamerdude | xinx: worse case scenario you can't recover it - best = you get it all back ;) | 05:30 |
| BagelMaster | astro76 soldats: Not that I can find :/ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Lexmark_Printers | 05:30 |
| * BagelMaster shudders... Lexmark | 05:30 | |
| badkitty | hah | 05:30 |
| badkitty | epson ftw | 05:30 |
| badkitty | hehe | 05:30 |
| soldats | i think lexmark is completely unsupported in ubuntu right? | 05:30 |
| tanubis_ | mrb88 it lets you play with how you're connecting that device. if you just hit ifconfig eth0, for example, it shows you the settings you're using | 05:31 |
| BagelMaster | Yea, that's why you have to go in and do the drivers yourself | 05:31 |
| badkitty | gamerdude: haha that is a pretty wide range of options | 05:31 |
| Madpilot | soldats, not completely. Lexmark's Linux support is pretty bad, though | 05:31 |
| soldats | ahh | 05:31 |
| mrb88 | tanubis_ I see - how can I tell what kernel module it's using? | 05:31 |
| squidly | soldats: lexmark optera are supported but they are very expensive.. the other ones are winprinters | 05:31 |
| badkitty | gamerdude: Thats like... worst case scenario the tumor eats your face and you die.. best case.. it just dissappears | 05:31 |
| Madpilot | soldats, buy HP, basically every HP printer works on LInux | 05:31 |
| gamerdude | badkitty: lmao sometimes that's how life is | 05:31 |
| badkitty | gamerdude: sadley yes | 05:32 |
| tanubis_ | mrb88 not sure... what exactly is it you're trying to do with your network connection? | 05:32 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, ya there? | 05:32 |
| nickrud | yup | 05:32 |
| mrb88 | tanubis_ Somehow my network got messed up with the kernel update. Trying to set it back to what it should be. Not sure how. | 05:33 |
| mrb88 | tanubis_ I made a thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=695144 | 05:33 |
| talcite | hey guys, is the sqlite3 package in the repos compiled with threadsafe? | 05:33 |
| stroyan | squidly: The kernel can autodetect a RAID superblock on a device. You might be able to stop that with the mdadm command and --zero-superblock. Be careful where you point that thing. ;-) | 05:33 |

| gamerdude | badkitty: at least now he's got options | 05:33 |
| BagelMaster | Soldats, Ah, thank you very much. | 05:33 |
| squidly | stroyan: yea I dont wanna lose the data. If I use fdisk I can sync the disk and get it | 05:33 |
| squidly | I think I may just do that | 05:33 |

| john | hello, I just did a system update with the software update tool and when I rebooted it seems like X.org failed to boot properly and I am stuck in low graphics mode. Where can I begin to troubleshoot | 05:43 |
| mrb88 | Outside network doesn't even matter at the point of this driver, Tanubis | 05:43 |
| nickrud | tantric132: get out your XP disk, and try to boot windows with that. | 05:43 |
| Xabriel | starnestommy, ok, done. Should I reboot an try to update? | 05:43 |
| badkitty | soldats: Is that what tor is used for?? | 05:43 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: ah, I thought you were talking about physical hw, not sure its the same thing then - the description of that file is in the udev manpage or you can follow the existing format | 05:44 |
| soldats | badkitty: or privoxy but if you use tor you should use it with privoxy anyways tor is just an onion router relay and privoxy is the proxy which tor uses | 05:44 |
| Tanubis | mrb88 Ok, I just wasn't sure as I thought the same as NigelS_ | 05:44 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: that is to say use the MAC addr and give it a name | 05:44 |
| john | what is the dpkg-reconfigure command for X server? | 05:44 |
| Xabriel | what exactly is a tor? | 05:44 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ and Tanubis - the module name in the kernel is vmxnet. Not sure how to find its mac address and reset eth0. | 05:44 |
| badkitty | soldats: mmm onions.. I can only imagine what that means lol... | 05:44 |
| astro76 | !xconfig | john | 05:44 |
| ubotu | john: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg » - To configure only the driver and resolution, type « sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh » - See also !FixRes | 05:44 |
| soldats | Xabriel: an onion router relay | 05:44 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ and Tanubis - how do I find out what module it's currently using? | 05:44 |
| soldats | lol | 05:45 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: why does that matter? | 05:45 |
| john | thanks astro76 | 05:45 |
| xinx | hey can someone help me to install that program please ? | 05:45 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ Because it's not working? | 05:45 |
| ouellettesr | does anyone know of a food terminal besides xterm or terminal the one that comes with gnome? | 05:45 |
| badkitty | soldats: I am seeing a tutorial on how to install them.. is there extra configurations I need to do with all my clients that access the network? | 05:45 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: what's running your vitual software? sounds like it could be an issue with that | 05:45 |
| ouellettesr | lol good* | 05:45 |
| Xabriel | soldats, so basically when I use something like torpark, I'm just routing my self through one or more servers? | 05:45 |
| soldats | ouellettesr: you might have Eterm but im not sure | 05:46 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: from your description I thought you had a problem with physical hw not having the desired name | 05:46 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - It's VMware Workstation 6 | 05:46 |
| stroyan | ouellettesr: So you don't want bananaterm then? | 05:46 |
| soldats | badkitty: theres pretty good documentation on the TOR site as well as the privoxy site. also they come with a README thats really good for that | 05:46 |
| Xabriel | soldats, I mean, is it basically the same thing as using a proxy? | 05:46 |
| NigelS_ | Xabriel: tor is an anonymising network designed to obfuscate the origins of a request by sending it through multiple encrypted "nodes" | 05:46 |
| ouellettesr | stroyan, no i dont like bananas | 05:47 |
| ouellettesr | :P | 05:47 |
| Blue_Sassley | how can I tell if a deamon I installed is running? | 05:47 |
| Xabriel | so, sort of like going through a proxy, but much more layered and secure | 05:47 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: check the help for VMWare 6 I guess - certainly what i've told you is the way to assign a network interface name to a particular card | 05:47 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - it's not showing up as a network device when I mouse over the network icon, and yet eth0 definitely exists. It's not "up" though | 05:47 |
| dori | I'm trying to test the new beta alongside 2.0.0.12 on ubuntu feisty, but the old version starts instead, is there something I need to do? | 05:47 |
| soldats | Xabriel: tor basically connects you through multiple servers worldwide and when your browser or app reaches the destination it reaches it from the exit node on a tor server | 05:47 |
| Tanubis | mrb88 not sure why you're looking for it, but If you use ifconfig eth0 , the MAC address of the device should show up has HWaddr on the first line | 05:48 |
| scragar | how can I tell what program keeps accessing my hard drive? about once every 2 hours I get a huge amount of access for about 10 secs... | 05:48 |
| dori | I'm running /opt/firefox3b3/firefox by the way, not the old executable | 05:48 |
| Xabriel | soldats, cool | 05:48 |
| stroyan | Blue_Sassley: You could use ps or pgrep to look for the daemon. | 05:48 |
| NigelS_ | Xabriel: not really like a proxy no - a proxy doesn't really anonymise any traffic it just gives you an alternative presence, whereas tor completely removes traces of the origins of a request which will just seem to come from an exit node | 05:49 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, thanks for the help. I know what I'm going to do! | 05:49 |
| nickrud | tantric132: what's that? | 05:49 |
| chaosrl | has anyone installed an lc-3 simulator in gutsy? | 05:49 |
| ouellettesr | how can i get the output of a command into a txt file, normally i would do "command > out.txt" but i have to kill the process cause it never ends | 05:49 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, I'm going to reinstall everything(for the third and final time). http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46003&highlight=dual+boot+sata | 05:50 |
| badkitty | soldats: I guess I was justing asking the basic question.. I wanted an overall feel for how it works explained in a way I can understand easily ... Is it something i can connect to or not connect to if I want... and of course it wouldn't any impact on local LAN settings right? If I was running say a home web server.. would this need to be turned off? | 05:50 |
| soldats | ouellettesr: do man cat in a terminal | 05:50 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: what's the hardware? should it work in vmware? if so then it ought have loaded the module for it (see lsmod for a list of running modules) - then ifconfig can configure an interface, ifconfig <name> <ip addr> assigns an ip addr | 05:50 |
| ouellettesr | soldats im not using cat though | 05:50 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, but before I do this, I need to print these instructions...except, my printer won't print. it says under printers that its there bbut I don't guess the driver is installed. how do I get the drivers? Its a dell printer/scanner | 05:50 |
| Xabriel | starnestommy: code executed without any errors popping up, but I still can't get the updates | 05:50 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ It was working pre-Ubuntu update. The hardware itself is just wired ethernet. The network will show up if I'm connected to the internet or not, the driver is just my connection between the host pc and the virtual PC. It definitely has works. | 05:50 |
| soldats | badkitty: it depends on how you set it up. for browsing there is a firefox plugin to quicky turn it on or off with the click of a button | 05:51 |
| sxealex | is there away to predeclare a password in a sudo command? | 05:51 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - it's running my model. | 05:51 |
| sxealex | i.e. sudo gedit : password | 05:51 |
| stroyan | ouellettesr: The 'script' command is amusing. It starts a shell or command an logs all tty output into a file. Just don't cat that file while recording to it. | 05:51 |
| badkitty | soldats: Sweet, so I could have outgoing traffic anonymously and incomming still working with my public IP? | 05:52 |
| nickrud | tantric132: I notice that the map commands are different in comment 2 of that page. Try that first | 05:52 |
| sxealex | anyone? | 05:52 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - it has my model and 17536 and 0 | 05:52 |
| ouellettesr | stroyan, i have never used this script command and suggestions for basic usage? | 05:52 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, im not doing what I said. that's too much time haha im not reformating everything again for the third time. so what are you suggesting? | 05:52 |
| NigelS_ | sxealex: you can fiddle with the sudo settings certainly, timeout etc, but "pre-declaring" a pw sort of eliminates the point of one | 05:52 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - How would I set my network to use that module? | 05:52 |
| nickrud | tantric132: it said to put the map commands after the root (hd1,0) | 05:53 |

| soldats | badkitty: hmm not sure about that. afaik all ougoing can be anonymous. if you decide to do it and there is no documentation on your situation you can always email tor and ask. they might have a forum | 05:53 |
| sxealex | NigelS_: i don t wanna predeclare it I just have a php script i need to run a sudo command | 05:53 |

| xinx | yes | 05:53 |

| xinx | ill be in trouble | 05:54 |
| tantric132 | ok...ill return shortly...probably. brb | 05:54 |
| thiemster | xinx: what do u need help with? | 05:54 |
| soldats | Xabriel: whats the problem | 05:54 |
| stroyan | ouellettesr: I usally start a shell with plain 'script', then run a command and then exit the shell. Just don't forget to exit the shell. You can also use the '-c command' option to run the program you actually want to capture. | 05:54 |
| Tanubis | xinx what information do you need to manage on your disk? | 05:54 |
| cometin | #php-es | 05:54 |
| xinx | http://jclark.org/weblog/2005/12/23/ubrescue/ | 05:54 |
| xinx | im following the tutorial to recover | 05:54 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - It doesn't matter if I'm actually on the internet or not, I'm "networked" from the Ubuntu standpoint as long as the vpc is talking to my host pc, that's the network. Doesn't matter if I'm on the internet or not, doesn't matter if I'm wired or wireless. | 05:54 |
| ouellettesr | thanks stroyan | 05:55 |
| xinx | On Step 4 im stuck | 05:55 |
| Xabriel | I'm getting: "sudo: must be setuid root" when I try to sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:55 |
| stroyan | ouellettesr: All the output is logged info a 'typescript' file, unless you give more meaningful filename for it to use. | 05:55 |
| xinx | Theres no Ubuntu Disk Manager here | 05:55 |
| saurav | hi guys. I'm in a tty. how do I scroll up? page up and dwn dont work | 05:55 |
| thiemster | xinx: it seems that this tutorial is different from your situation. i thought you had already installed ubuntu over windows | 05:55 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - can you join a room I make so I can post something the configuration program said to do at one point? It's a few lines. | 05:55 |
| xinx | yes | 05:55 |
| xinx | is over windows | 05:55 |
| stroyan | ouellettesr: If you do start script and 'cat typescript' it will recurse, showing output again and again. | 05:56 |
| === chaky_ is now known as chaky | ||
| xinx | can you send me the link again please? im so confused | 05:56 |
| Tanubis | xinx are you just trying to get information off a drive that had windows on it? | 05:56 |
| thiemster | ok | 05:56 |
| Discipulus | how do I clear apt's cache? | 05:56 |
| xinx | yes | 05:56 |
| Discipulus | like all the packages that apt has downloaded and unpackaged | 05:56 |
| xinx | Tanubis | 05:56 |
| thiemster | xinx: http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1 | 05:56 |
| Xabriel | soldats: I'm getting: "sudo: must be setuid root" when I try to sudo apt-get upgrade | 05:56 |
| Discipulus | how do I clear the .deb's apt has downloaded? | 05:56 |
| NigelS_ | sxealex: then don't ask how to pre-declare - I suspect that you can't do it nope - you'd have to think about running the script itself with root privs | 05:57 |
| saurav | can anyone tell me how I can scroll when I'm inside a tty? like Ctrl+alt+f1 | 05:57 |
| mrb88 | You can scroll in tty? | 05:57 |
| Tanubis | xinx just go to the places - computer menu | 05:57 |
| Tanubis | xinx you should see a list of all available hardware you can mount | 05:57 |
| xinx | thiemster I downloaded the program and I burned it on a CD but I dont know how to install this | 05:57 |
| thiemster | tanubis: he already installed ubuntu over windows. he's trying to get the information out from under it | 05:57 |
| sxealex | i want a phpscript to call a bash script with root privs | 05:57 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: post on a pastebin | 05:58 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ What's a pastebin? | 05:58 |
| sxealex | pastbin.ca | 05:58 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: see the topic | 05:58 |
| mrb88 | k | 05:58 |
| sxealex | pastebin.ca | 05:58 |
| thiemster | xinx: it doesn't install, it runs off the cd. u need to reboot your computer and boot it off the cd. | 05:58 |
| stroyan | Discipulus: sudo apt-get clean | 05:58 |
| xinx | ok | 05:58 |
| xinx | ok brb | 05:58 |
| Tanubis | thiemster windows takes fat32 or NTFS... ubuntu takes ext3.... he reformatted his drive, installed another OS overtop of it, and wants to reclaim data from the old OS? | 05:58 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - http://pastebin.ca/902154 | 05:58 |
| thiemster | tanubis: yes | 05:58 |
| Tanubis | thiemster that's... messy. | 05:59 |
| thiemster | tanubis: it may be possible, as the repartitioning may leave raw files behind | 05:59 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: and when you do that, what happens? | 05:59 |
| thiemster | tanubis: and those are what he's looking for | 05:59 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - Nothing! | 05:59 |
| Tanubis | thiemster hmm | 05:59 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - What should that be doing? | 05:59 |
| xinx | brb | 05:59 |
| xinx | restarting | 05:59 |
| NigelS_ | Tanubis: strictly speaking I think he formatted the first 50gb of his drive | 05:59 |
| thiemster | tanubis: i recommended he use a recovery live cd (i saw one at http://www.rescubuntu.info/node/1) and he's trying it now | 05:59 |
| thiemster | NigelS_: which is where his windows partition had been | 06:00 |
| NigelS_ | thiemster: yes, though not necessarily all of the files that he wants | 06:00 |
| Tanubis | Yeah... he's definately not going to be able to use that tutorial he linked me to though. That's for recovering data from an unbootable but intact NTFS partition using a liveCD. | 06:00 |
| thiemster | NigelS_yes, i sort of get it | 06:00 |
| NigelS_ | depending on the degree of fragmentation etc | 06:00 |
| thiemster | tanubis: i tried to tell him that | 06:00 |
| thiemster | tanubis: i'm not sure if he got it | 06:00 |
| wng- | Hi, I just installed 7.10 Desktop, and it didn't autodetect the speaker/headphone output on my laptop, how can i fix this? | 06:01 |
| NigelS_ | I don't think he understood anything ppl told him tbh | 06:01 |
| stroyan | Xabriel: What does ls -l /usr/bin/sudo show now? The file needs to be owned by root as well as being mode -rwsr-xr-x . | 06:01 |
| Tanubis | <sigh> | 06:01 |
| thiemster | well, he's really new | 06:01 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - what should those commands be doing? | 06:01 |
| thiemster | he didn't see "format" at the installer for ubuntu, so he didn't think installing ubuntu could wipe out windows | 06:01 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: it brings the net interface down, unloads the modules, then reloads one of them, then brings the interface back up | 06:01 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - how would it know what to set eth0 as? | 06:02 |
| Xabriel | stroyan: -rwsr-sr-x l <usrname> <usrname> 91776 date/time | 06:02 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - also, in lsmod, would having 0 as what it's "being used" for be meaningful? | 06:03 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: eth0 is just the name of an interface, if there is only 1 card then it will get that - though as I say udev manages assignments in /etc/udev/rules.d/ | 06:03 |
| _Oz_ | Hi, Ubuntu friends! | 06:03 |
| soldats | hi | 06:03 |
| bardesanes | Hello. A bit of an odd question but I would appreciate any help: I have a USB soundcard which Ubuntu will play sounds through, but when I run JACK Audio Connection Kit, it plays the sound from the onboard soundcard. So, I disabled the onboard soundcard and now Ubuntu has an X over the sound icon. The sound plays through the USB card but when I start Jack, it won't even start up. Can anyone give me any suggestions? | 06:03 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: the number indicates the number of other modules that are dependent upon it iirc | 06:03 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: e.g. a usb driver tha has multiple usb devices relying upon it | 06:04 |
| Tanubis | wonder if you could use ddrescue after doing something like that | 06:04 |
| _Oz_ | Got a REALLY strange one. I bet you've never heard of this one before. I have an old dell desktop, a celeron 2.4ghz with 1gb RAM. The DVD drive will NOT recognize an ubuntu disc on startup, but it WILL recognize a vista disc (which is what is presently installed.) BOTH DISCS were created by the SAME BURNER. And to be sure, I burned a new Ubuntu disc. It reads fine in other machines and drives, just not that ONE DRIVE on the vista machin | 06:04 |
| _Oz_ | e. Any ideas? | 06:04 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ Ah ok. So no way to tell if it's being used? | 06:04 |
| stroyan | Xabriel: if <usrname> is root then you are fine. Otherwise you need to go back to booting in recovery mode and do chown root:root /usr/bin/sudo and chmod u+s /usr/bin/sudo . I wonder how many other files had their permissions changed? | 06:04 |
| Xabriel | stroyan: I'll try that | 06:05 |
| Xabriel | stroyan, hopefully not many :/ | 06:05 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ Really just trying to see if it's using pcnet32 or vmxnet | 06:05 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: what do you mean by being used - if the module is loaded it's loaded - you can check logs like /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog for any output there - but otherwise, use lsmod to make sure the modules you need are loaded and make sure that the interface as acquired an address and is up using ifconfig | 06:05 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: which is loaded? | 06:06 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ It keeps loading both pcnet32 -and- vmxnet | 06:07 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ Both are loaded. | 06:07 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - When clicking the network icon next to the time, it says no network device is found. | 06:08 |
| Agent_bob | would the fact that i don't have a kernel installed cause lilo to not install correctly ? | 06:08 |

| danielski_pl | does ubuntu have support for ipods? | 06:11 |
| chubs_ | danielski_pl, yes, it's quite wonderful actually | 06:12 |
| Xabriel | stroyan, woohoo! you win ten thousand internets! it worked, I'm so glad I'm not gonna have to re-install everything :D | 06:12 |
| thiemster | NigelS_: do you know if xinx ever got the information back? | 06:12 |
| danielski_pl | do i need to install anything to port movies and stuff over? | 06:12 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: I see what you mean - sounds like a problem with the virtual server, if you edit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases you could create an alias - you can also add an entry to blacklist to prevent the wrong driver from loading | 06:12 |
| tantric132 | nickrud, you there? | 06:12 |
| danielski_pl | chubs_ : do i need to install anything to port movies and stuff over? | 06:12 |
| chubs_ | danielski_pl: if you're referring to copying movies and songs from your ipod to your computer, gtkpod will do nicely | 06:13 |
| fjfalcon | can anyone say to in which rep are iwl3945 or ipw3945? | 06:13 |
| stroyan | Xabriel: You really should look around for file permissions next. If sudo was clobbered many others probably were as well. | 06:13 |
| joequincy | I'm prepping for my first Linux installation (besides DSL) and I don't have a clue where to start. I don't need any data saved off the HDD, and I don't want to keep the existing Windows installation | 06:13 |
| danielski_pl | chubs_: im mean other way around | 06:13 |
| chubs_ | danielski_pl: and you can also use gtkpod to transfer to the ipod, but i prefer amarok | 06:13 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - how do I add it to the blacklist and an alias for it? | 06:13 |
| astro76 | joequincy: then it's easy, download the desktop install cd, boot it and install, select use whole disk when it asks | 06:14 |
| Discipulus | In the Synaptic Package Manager what's the difference between Removal and Complete Removal ? | 06:14 |
| chubs_ | danielski_pl: there are quite a few programs for it, rhythmbox comes preinstalled and i believe that works too | 06:14 |
| emory | joequincy: Just download the Ubuntu iso and burn it. Boot from CD and follow the installation. The install is really straight forward. Even my wife could do it! | 06:14 |
| alka_trash | Damn it! Sun bought virtualbox http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/12/sun_innotek_virtualization/ | 06:14 |

| Dezine | thanks anyway | 06:18 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: I think the problem might be that you have an older install of vmware? possibly it made changes that aren't recognised - do you have a modprobe.conf? yast is a suse tool called yet another setup tool - I can't think why you'd use it | 06:18 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - I have the most up to date version. A forum thread recommended using YaST to examine the things. Is there an equivalent in ubuntu? Where is modprobe.conf? | 06:19 |
| stroyan | Xabriel: You could compare them to a known good system. Unfortunately apt doesn't have a permissions tester like rpm or other packaging tools do. | 06:19 |
| NigelS_ | sxealex: sure, -S is right there in the man page, presumed you'd checked it | 06:19 |

| NigelS_ | pavs: -p | 06:20 |
| pavs | nigels thanks | 06:20 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - No file called modprobe.conf, but if I open up the modprobe directory, there's a vmware-tools file in there that I can open | 06:20 |
| joequincy | one more quick q: the previous owner kinda deleted the Windows partition, so the entire disk is unpartitioned space. Will I need to partition it first? | 06:21 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcnet32 $CMDLINE_OPTS | 06:21 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: what I'm getting at is that vmware may need an alias to load the correct driver - but this is really a vmware issue | 06:21 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ Not sure why this problem is cropping up now. It was working perfectly before the update. | 06:21 |
| * jgeeky says greetings all | 06:21 | |

| NigelS_ | amin1: some games using wine | 06:23 |
| amin1 | analogs..im not fimiliar | 06:23 |
| joequincy | hmm. The screen has gone completely blank on the machine, and won't turn back on. It was working a second ago. | 06:23 |

| badkitty | Quick question.. I am just learning how to use pgp. I had created a first key but made a new one and deleted the old one. Now however when I try to attach signature, it is attempting to load the old key, how do I fix this? | 06:25 |
| trance_techau | does anyone else run amarok on ubuntu with windows samba shares as there storage? | 06:25 |
| badkitty | GPG | 06:25 |
| joequincy | clarification: it was working, then I chose "Start or Install Ubuntu" and it started a progress bar animation (along with the general sounds that accompany a working computer) then after about two minutes, the screen turned off and activity sounds died. It will not resume. | 06:25 |
| trance_techau | i'm running gigabyte network and amarok is heaps slow. it was fine until the last update (a while ago now) | 06:25 |
| patogen | How high can the load be until the system becomes unstable? It's between 10 and 13 now... | 06:26 |
| trance_techau | amorok often hangs now | 06:26 |
| speeddemon8803 | patogen, it depends on the processor | 06:26 |
| sn00zer | trance_techau, i have similar issues, it hogs the cpu on track changes, i think its related to the cover manager but i don't know how to fix it | 06:27 |
| NigelS_ | patogen: the system won't necessarily become unstable though it may not respond to requests very quickly...only problem with stability is if it overheats :P | 06:27 |
| amin1 | i want to play the game halo that i hav already install before i install ubuntu but it says.....cannot find 'Z:\home\aminpro\config.txt' | 06:27 |
| xinx | Tanubis it should be inside a folder or something? | 06:27 |
| badkitty | trance_techau: You big into trance? MSG if yo are | 06:27 |
| trance_techau | <sn00zer> yeah that might be true...hmm i'll look into it tonight | 06:27 |
| sn00zer | trance_techau, it is alittle better since i disabled last.fm, magnatune, moodbar, and stopped my scripts | 06:27 |
| gopodge | jgeeky : Did you get an answer on your tinyproxy issue? | 06:28 |
| patogen | speeddemon8803: Core 2 duo | 06:28 |
| amin1 | i want to play the game halo that i hav already install before i install ubuntu but it says.....cannot find 'Z:\home\aminpro\config.txt' ..... should i reinstall the game ??? | 06:28 |
| sxealex | is bash.bashrc the file for global aliases? | 06:28 |
| patogen | so if it's not to hot it probably won't do anything if it's like this for a couple of hours more? | 06:28 |
| NigelS_ | amin1: follow the guide on winehq | 06:28 |
| fx|RabBit | morning all! i have the problem that i cant resize windows anymore as soon as i use compiz, what could be the reason for that? | 06:28 |
| amin1 | i will try | 06:28 |
| trance_techau | ok i'll try tonight. it used to be ok. haven't added that many more tunes. but when upgraded about 2 mths ago it started happening | 06:28 |
| Agent_bob | amin1 z: ??? | 06:28 |
| NigelS_ | amin1: you will prob need to install in linux again in order to create registry keys etc | 06:28 |
| danielski_pl | how do i transfer movies to ipod, gtkpod wont detect ipod | 06:29 |
| Agent_bob | amin1 did you make id dir named Z: ? | 06:29 |
| jodas | Hey max you there? | 06:29 |
| NigelS_ | Agent_bob: that's just the wine drive mapping i assumed | 06:29 |
| jodas | Does anyone know what x86 means when it comes to hardware? | 06:30 |
| Agent_bob | NigelS_ could be i guess. i thought wine defaulted to a c: mapping | 06:30 |
| neville | x86 CPU architecture? | 06:30 |
| NigelS_ | the, pentium, athlon series of processors jodas - based on x86 architecture developed by intel | 06:30 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: it means a pc of 286/386/486 or some sort of pentium | 06:30 |
| fx|RabBit | jodas: means not 64 bit but 32 | 06:30 |
| bullgard4 | /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt speaks about an 'Extended_Filesystem' and an 'Second Extended Filesystem'. What is the difference between these two terms? | 06:30 |
| bardesanes | I reenabled the onboard sound in the BIOS and now the the startup sound plays through the onboard soundcard, most everything else plays through the USB drive except for JACK which plays through the onboard sound. Anyone have an idea of what could cause this? | 06:31 |
| jodas | So it will only work with X86 type computers correct? | 06:31 |
| jodas | if you are downloading a program that says that correct? | 06:31 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: correct | 06:31 |
| fx|RabBit | i have the problem that i cant resize windows anymore as soon as i use compiz, what could be the reason for that? | 06:31 |
| NigelS_ | Agent_bob: for the c: drive yes, but he almost certainly tried to run halo from somewhere else | 06:31 |
| NigelS_ | fx|RabBit: I haven't seen that problem since the really early stages of compiz | 06:32 |
| fx|RabBit | jodas: precisely that means it does not work on 64 bit architectures | 06:32 |
| credible | fx|RabBit: please join #compiz-fusion | 06:32 |
| NigelS_ | jodas: PPC, Alpha, these are examples of non-x86 | 06:32 |
| amin1 | i hav go to the website http://appdb.winehq.org/......but where do i search the data base so i can my game thats in the database? | 06:32 |
| fx|RabBit | NigelS_: hm me neither | 06:32 |
| amin1 | so i can get the compability.. | 06:32 |
| NigelS_ | fx|RabBit: can you resize by holding alt down? | 06:32 |
| fx|RabBit | credible: aw yeah thx for the hint | 06:33 |
| jodas | So I guess that I cannot download Microsoft Visual C++ for 32 bit then? | 06:33 |
| bluefoxx | err, i have a logitech quickcam chat usb and installed camorama, it works and can see from the camera but its all night visionish, EG colors are off, i have decent lighting but it can't see well...how can i fix this?i dont want my reds looking blue and blues looking red and everything else greenish | 06:33 |
| fx|RabBit | NigelS_: nope | 06:33 |
| NigelS_ | jodas: why would you expect MS VS++ to run in linux? | 06:33 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: there are linux/ubuntu C++ compilers. | 06:34 |
| jodas | Well you were the only chatroom that I knew of that had people with some knowledge on computers. | 06:34 |
| jodas | I have Vista. | 06:34 |
| jodas | I have had ubuntu before. | 06:34 |
| jodas | That is why I came here and asked. | 06:34 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: it works a little differently and microsoft stuff wont compile right for ubuntu | 06:34 |
| jodas | I know that. | 06:35 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: you are asking in the right place! | 06:35 |
| NigelS_ | jodas: but your question was about linux not about a general issue...I mean you get why Wine is needed yes? it implements windows libraries in linux | 06:35 |
| mrb88 | NigelS_ - Thanks for your help. Probably going to have to reinstall ubuntu | 06:35 |
| astro76 | jodas: try ##windows | 06:35 |
| jodas | Ok. | 06:35 |
| NigelS_ | mrb88: if you google it looks like several ppl have this problem, try setting an alias for eth0 in the aliases file, it can't hurt | 06:35 |
| biabia | theres a database of wine supported programs | 06:35 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: I dont know much about wine. why do you want to program for windows under it, rather than in your vista boot? | 06:36 |
| biabia | not every program is supported | 06:36 |

| joequincy | Visual Studio will work in Vista on either a 64bit or 32bit. Microsoft actually managed to think of that in advance. The DL installer detects your architecture and installs the correct components for your system | 06:36 |
| jodas | I do not have a double boot. | 06:37 |
| ThreeFingerPete | jodas: i sent you a private message. can you see it? | 06:37 |

| Hammer89 | okay... things are running smoothly now... but one major issue: my windows dont have borders... | 07:04 |
| Jangari | bijumon: what sort of things are you doing when it logs out unexpectedly? | 07:04 |
| rich1 | [chr0n0s]: sorry. i'm a noob. how do i check that? | 07:05 |
| Hammer89 | it looks like emerald themes were screwing me up for some reason | 07:05 |
| Hammer89 | anyone got any input? | 07:05 |
| [chr0n0s] | rich1, there must be some popup/tab in your client | 07:05 |
| bijumon | jangari, normal browsing, editing text files through ssh connection etc | 07:05 |
| Jangari | Hammer89: you're referring tothe title bar of each window, right? | 07:06 |
| Filled-Void | Hammer89, I had a problem like that and recall running a command which had the option --replace in it . Unfortunately I dont recall the command :( | 07:06 |
| rich1 | [chr0n0s]: i'm trying to learn the cool stuff. i'm on irc on a terminal. i just figured it out. | 07:06 |
| Hammer89 | Jangari: yeah... all I have is the content of the window.... no title bars... sides... etc | 07:06 |
| Jangari | 'wondows decoration' then | 07:06 |
| Jangari | s/wondows/windows/ | 07:07 |
| Hammer89 | ? | 07:07 |
| rich1 | [chr0n0s]: thanks for the help, anyway. i'll keep trying in the morning. | 07:07 |
| Jangari | you run compiz fusion, right? | 07:07 |
| Hammer89 | right | 07:07 |
| Jangari | it's one of the things in advanced desktop settings | 07:07 |
| Hammer89 | woah... duh | 07:07 |
| Hammer89 | thanks man | 07:07 |
| Jangari | for some reason (happened to me too) changing some things removed the windows decoration altogether | 07:08 |
| Jangari | anyway, play around with it | 07:08 |
| bijumon | ubuntu 7.10 log outs frequently | 07:08 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> did you push ctrl-alt-backspace? | 07:08 |
| joequincy | will anyone help me troubleshoot an installation? I'm trying to get the complete error right now... | 07:08 |
| Hammer89 | Jangari: I got it working... and yeah... I've had to do some major messing with my computer... couldn't even log in before :P | 07:08 |
| bijumon | kahrytan: no | 07:09 |
| Jangari | bijumon: is it really logging out? not just prompting for your pasword? | 07:09 |
| bijumon | jangari: its logging out | 07:09 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> are you running ubuntu in virtual applicate under windows vista?\ | 07:09 |
| slate | is it possible to replace the default right click menu on the desktop with the applications menu? | 07:09 |
| Hammer89 | anyone have any idea why emerald themes would make it so my desktop environment never loads? | 07:09 |
| bijumon | kahrytan : no, native installation | 07:09 |
| Jangari | anything's possible, slate | 07:09 |
| Jangari | or you could just use KDE instead | 07:10 |
| slate | is it documented somewhere? | 07:10 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> are you using screenscaver? | 07:10 |
| kahrytan | *saver | 07:10 |
| chubs__ | or xfce | 07:10 |
| macogw | slate: if you install fluxbox or enlightenment and use it as your window manager instead of the default (metacity), those two use right click applications menus. you could also just use fluxbox or enlightenment instead of gnome (i'm using fluxbox) | 07:10 |
| chubs__ | or xfce | 07:11 |
| bijumon | kahrytan: nothing, its fresh instalation, i have not used any screensaver | 07:11 |
| macogw | chubs__: xfce does that? | 07:11 |
| kahrytan | fresh installs dont auto logout. you did something to change it | 07:11 |
| chubs__ | macogw: yes | 07:11 |
| familyfriendly | http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2ngsil3&s=3 I get this error with synaptic | 07:11 |
| chubs__ | macogw: at least it did by default on my slackware box | 07:12 |
| macogw | chubs__: hm ok neat | 07:12 |
| macogw | chubs__: i havent really used it much. i just remember hating the menu configuration thing for it | 07:12 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> fresh installs dont auto logout. you did something to change it | 07:12 |
| chubs__ | macogw: i don't/haven't used it too much, but it's nice for low end machines | 07:12 |
| joequincy | I'm about ready to just reinstall freaking windows. This is the worst installation experience I've ever had | 07:13 |
| Jangari | familyfriendly: have you tried running 'dpkg --configure -a'? | 07:13 |
| karlNY | joequincy: what happened? | 07:13 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> did you install nvidia driver? | 07:13 |
| bijumon | kahrytan: no | 07:13 |
| rich1 | are chr0n0s or aswd still here? | 07:13 |
| karlNY | joequincy: an hour ago I saw you ask 'ok I'm ready how do I start' next thing I know something is tough for the install? | 07:14 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/121486 | 07:14 |
| joequincy | karlNY: nothing. It shows a progress bar for a while, then ejects the disc. Nothing installs. | 07:14 |
| kahrytan | bug 121486 | 07:14 |
| karlNY | joequincy: what hardware? PC? Dell or Generic? Laptop? What install CD you using? | 07:15 |
| bijumon | kahrytan: what is this url | 07:15 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/121486 | 07:15 |
| macogw | joequincy: you just keep saying "will anyone help me troubleshoot..." without telling us what's wrong | 07:16 |
| wng- | Hi, I just installed 7.10 Desktop, and it didn't autodetect the speaker/headphone output on my laptop, how can i fix this? | 07:16 |
| joequincy | karlNY: Dell Inspiron 1100 (about 3 years old). I'm using a disc from the DL .iso (UofU server) | 07:16 |
| kahrytan | bijumon-> go there and see if you reproduce the problem wit those steps | 07:16 |
| bijumon | kahrytan: thank you, i will che | 07:17 |
| joequincy | karlNY: just got the .iso about two hours ago, so I know it's current | 07:17 |
| joequincy | macogw: I was saying more before, but nobody was responding, so I kinda gave up | 07:17 |
| kahrytan | Anyone know how to install mythtv w/o mythbuntu crap? | 07:18 |
| Jangari | is it the x86 version, joequincy? | 07:18 |
| joequincy | Jangari: yes | 07:19 |
| karlNY | joequincy: laptop ok awesome I use a latitude d620 and got it to work off install CDs | 07:19 |
| CroX | I am told, by an error message, that I must install libdvdcss v1.2 but when trying to install either of the two, 'libdvdcss' or 'libdvdcss2' aptitude can't find a canditate version.. | 07:19 |
| macogw | kahrytan: umm do you already have whatever distro you would then be using installed? | 07:19 |
| CroX | How can I fix this? | 07:19 |
| macogw | !medibuntu > crox | 07:19 |
| macogw | CroX: check your PM | 07:19 |
| === neskaya is now known as uh-oh | ||
| macogw | joequincy: whats wrong? | 07:19 |
| karlNY | joequincy: what exactly happens? boots into CD, you hit enter, then a progress bar, then reboot? please write as much details as you can | 07:19 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> yeah. Mythbuntu is a distro and I dont want xfce crap in the system ( the package installs it) | 07:20 |
| CroX | macogw: Thanks! I'll check it out. :) | 07:20 |
| Jangari | kahrytan: just get the mythbuntu repository, it'll then let you download whatever you want | 07:20 |
| kahrytan | Jangari-> no thanks | 07:21 |
| macogw | kahrytan: can't you just apt-get install mythtv? | 07:21 |
| Jangari | why not? | 07:21 |
| badkitty | kahrytan: Hey foooo | 07:21 |
| NeonLightning | what would be the command to mount a ntfs hd as readable as an nfs share? i have at present in the fstab /dev/hda1 /home/ubuntu/lappy ntfs uid=999 gid=999 0 0 | 07:21 |
| macogw | kahrytan: i just did a simulated install, and i dont see any xfce stuff listed | 07:22 |
| NeonLightning | and that lets ubuntu read it but get permission denied when i try and mount that nfs | 07:22 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> configure it | 07:22 |
| macogw | kahrytan: i didnt actually install it. i just did simulated to see the full dependency list. this laptop would die if i tried to run mythtv | 07:22 |
| bijumon | kahrytan: what this url tells, I could not undestand | 07:22 |
| joequincy | karlNY: okay, so here's what happens... I boot from CD, and it loads the options screen. I choose the default first option (Start or Install Ubuntu), and it goes to a progress bar. After about two minutes of that, the screen flicks on and off several times, before ending up off, but with the machine running. If I do nothing, it sits there forever. If I tap the power button, the screen flicks... | 07:23 |
| jigs | cant install breyl have error like this >> c compller cannot excutables? what to do? | 07:23 |
| joequincy | ...on long enough for me to see there's an error message (I'll try to get it in a sec) before ejecting the disc and blanking the screen. At this point nothing happens and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. | 07:23 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> mythbuntu control center installs xfce | 07:24 |
| macogw | kahrytan: why do you need mythbuntu control center? | 07:24 |
| jigs | hi guys... anyone? pm me please... cant install beryl have error like this >> c compller cannot excutables? what to do? | 07:25 |
| macogw | jigs: 1) beryl is old, use compiz fusion 2) why are you compiling it? | 07:26 |
| macogw | jigs: 3) do you have build-essential installed? | 07:26 |
| mrnotproper | hi, i've a little problem with cpu scaling .. someone is available to help me ? | 07:27 |
| Filled-Void | Anyone here who uses cod4 on wine? | 07:27 |
| Filled-Void | Or has patched Wine-git with a patch? | 07:27 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> cuz i cant config mythtv on my own | 07:27 |
| jigs | macogw tnx for replying.. well i dont even an idea that beryl is old. so am going to use compiz instead | 07:28 |
| macogw | kahrytan: i thought that was what mythcontrols was for? well if you get the deb for mythbuntu-control-center and download just that deb, you can always dpkg -i --force-depends to install it | 07:29 |
| kirkor | #evolution | 07:29 |
| macogw | kahrytan: it turns the errors about missing dependencie into warnings | 07:29 |
| karlNY | joequincy: I wonder if you can try dumbing-down to a lesser video-resolution | 07:29 |
| macogw | kirkor: /join | 07:29 |
| macogw | kahrytan: or --ignore-depends=xfce | 07:30 |
| macogw | kahrytan: there are a TON of things you can get around if you read the dpkg manpage | 07:30 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> The control center does the installs. | 07:30 |
| jigs | <macogw> sir where i can find compiz? do i have to install it like beryl? is there available program ready to install? | 07:30 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> No commands to enter. it's like synaptic | 07:30 |
| neopsyche | hi my server on ubuntu is not playing streams flv on joomla .. can anyone help? | 07:30 |
| neopsyche | permissions maby? | 07:31 |
| hotmonkeyluv | is there a way to re-do the grub boot loader without installing ubuntu again? (I installed ubuntu, then installed suse in a different partition, but the suse bootloader is now the default one, but I like the one that came with ubuntu better) | 07:31 |
| macogw | kahrytan: well theyre all in the repos. but if you want, do the 2nd thing i said and set it to --ignore-depends=<package-you-dont-want> | 07:31 |
| joequincy | karlNY: there's no option that I can find. Also, the error won't show up now... it just tells me to remove the disc, close the tray, and hit "enter". I do so and it turns off, not installed. | 07:31 |
| jigs | o boy am so noob with this ubuntu system | 07:31 |
| macogw | jigs: which version of ubuntu are you using? | 07:31 |
| macogw | jigs: the latest includes compiz fusion | 07:31 |
| jigs | sir latest sir | 07:31 |
| macogw | jigs: i'm a woman | 07:32 |
| jigs | aw | 07:32 |
| jigs | sorry | 07:32 |
| macogw | jigs: if you just install compizconfig-settings-manager you'll get access to lots of configuration options for compiz fusion, but compiz itself is already installed on your system | 07:32 |
| Hammer89 | anyone know why emerald would cause Ubuntu to crash? (e.g., I enable emerald... log out... and I can't login again till I've uninstalled it) | 07:33 |
| karlNY | joequincy: there are options like F2, F3, F4, etc - they show you how to dumb-down the resolution | 07:33 |
| macogw | jigs: it's in system -> preferences -> appearance, in the desktop effects tab, i believe | 07:33 |
| kirkor | hi, how to get my password from evolution file? | 07:33 |
| kahrytan | macogw-> and ill repeat it. THE SOFTWARE DOES THE INSTALL. It is part of the configuration phase. | 07:33 |
| badkitty | macogw: Do you know off-hand how to install some of the non-supported plugins for compiz-fusion? | 07:33 |
| karlNY | joequincy: can you try again - boot into CD menu, hit F1 - F6 to read the help info? | 07:33 |
| zorn | I'm having printing problems. my printer worked fine for months now it works intermittently. right now its not printing a pdf I want to print but it does print the test page from the printer configuration. So is my problem with cups? | 07:33 |
| macogw | kahrytan: you can install the control center with --ignore-depends=xfce and the control center will install. then you can go ahead and use it to install the rest of the stuff | 07:34 |
| Hammer89 | badkitty: you prolly have to find the source and compile it yourself | 07:34 |
| pocketdrummer | So, for some reason, I can't see some videos in firefox. Does anyone else see this video? http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/12/video_open_source_scavenged_hardware_powers_life_sized_747_simulator/ | 07:34 |
| joequincy | karlNY: where's that disk formatting utility that someone mentioned earlier? | 07:34 |
| joequincy | oh, and I should have been more clear... there's only a "VGA" option... nothing else | 07:34 |
| macogw | badkitty: no, sorry | 07:34 |
| karlNY | joequincy: there HAS to be an option to lower resolution - can be done in the CD-installer's "boot command line" too | 07:34 |
| Filled-Void | Anyone know what I can do if I cant move my Windows :x . AT first I lost my title bars and then did a ctrl + alt + backspace and got it back but now I cant mvoe my windows although I can max or min it | 07:34 |
| Jangari | installing compizconfig-settings-manager will give you "advances desktop effects settings" in your system > preferences, jigs, which give you much more control over compiz, just be prepared for plenty of bugs | 07:34 |
| macogw | joequincy: VGA is probably what you want | 07:34 |
| credible | badkitty: /msg fusiobot gutsy | 07:34 |
| joequincy | macogw: that's the default | 07:34 |
| Jangari | Filled-Void: tried alt+click-and-drag? | 07:34 |
| karlNY | joequincy: gparted? it will overwrite stuff so don't use it if you are afraid to lose all data. | 07:35 |
| Filled-Void | Jangari, Doesnt work :( | 07:35 |
| macogw | kahrytan: maybe i dont understand what you mean. do you install mythbuntu control center then use it and click around to pick what you want? or does it happen during the dpkg configuration stuff? or do they all come in as dependencies? | 07:35 |
| joequincy | karlNY: It was already erased and rewritten several times by the guy who gave it to me. I don't really care. | 07:35 |
| karlNY | Filled-Void: try ALT+SPACEBAR | 07:35 |
| emory | Hi I'm having problems connecting to the internet even from the live CD can anyone help? | 07:36 |
| Filled-Void | karlNY, I can select Move from the menu but I cant actually move it :X | 07:36 |
| pocketdrummer | I have a problem with videos popping up for a split second, then disappearing in firefox. Does anyone else have this issue? Here an example: http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/02/12/video_open_source_scavenged_hardware_powers_life_sized_747_simulator/ | 07:36 |
| macogw | kahrytan: brb i gotta get my laundry out | 07:36 |
| karlNY | joequincy: hey man this is a last-ditch-fallback idea -- there's probably a local ubuntu community group in your area - I'm sure if you showed up with the inspiron, they'd have you rocking out in no time. | 07:37 |
| kirkor | bye | 07:37 |
| Filled-Void | Im using Emerald also . Not sure if thats what is causing this | 07:37 |
| jigs | yay its working now effect is working but.. something wrong with the windows, no bar.. | 07:37 |
| Jangari | bugger, some wavs missed my mp3ing | 07:37 |
| === kipingor is now known as Qwel | ||
| joequincy | karlNY: hmm. Don't know anybody here yet... where would Iook online? | 07:38 |
| joequincy | look* | 07:38 |
| joequincy | for a goup* | 07:38 |
| Jangari | jigs, i said beware of bugs | 07:38 |
| gonzoism | where can i get a sources.list for gutsy i386 ? | 07:38 |
| badkitty | credible: Maybe I'll wait till they are stable hehe | 07:38 |
| Jangari | restarting lots of times and trying many different things will eventually work | 07:38 |
| gonzoism | i'm having that missing indexes problem, been having it for about a month or so | 07:39 |
| joequincy | karlNY: can Ubuntu use the NTFS file system? | 07:39 |
| cal_ | Can anyone tell me (I am very new) how too specify a directory and file in the Konsole? I have a driver for my soundsystem on my desktop in a file folder named "new Folder" | 07:39 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, it located at /etc/apt/ folder | 07:39 |
| Jangari | cal_: | 07:39 |
| Jangari | oops | 07:39 |
| badkitty | joequincy: yes it can access it, do you mean can it install and run off of it? | 07:40 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV yeah, i mean that i need a known good one | 07:40 |
| joequincy | badkitty: yes | 07:40 |
| Qwel | I am still Searching for a Cisco GUI that runs on ubuntu.... anyone know of any openSource Cisco GUI's? | 07:40 |
| badkitty | joequincy: to my knowledge no.. what for? | 07:40 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, a gud one? mean a configured one? | 07:40 |
| Jangari | cal_: "cd" will "change directory", so you want "cd ~/Desktop/new\ folder" | 07:40 |
| cal_ | I use / to specify dierctories and subs.. humm let me try. | 07:40 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV yeah, a default one would be best | 07:40 |
| cal_ | just like old MS dos? | 07:40 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, it actually depends on your location to get the best server for upgrade | 07:41 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV is yours pretty generic ? | 07:41 |
| Jangari | mm, like unix, | 07:41 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV i'm in US | 07:41 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, first of all.. you need to open up System>administrator>software sources | 07:41 |
| cal_ | thanks I will try now | 07:41 |
| joequincy | badkitty: well, the disc I DL'd tonight isn't working. Period. I'm thinking of using the XP install disc to reformat the drive and then try installing Ubuntu again | 07:41 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV done that | 07:41 |
| jigs | another question... am planning to use this ubuntu to my shop and am just wondering.. how do people can use web cam in my shop using this system? | 07:41 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, then go to server selection and choose others | 07:41 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV i've been using linux for ten years and ubuntu for at least one. | 07:41 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV i think i need a new sources.list file. | 07:42 |
| Jangari | alternatively, cal_, not sure if this works with konsole, but you might be able to drag and drop the folder into the konsole window, and it will print out the directory path | 07:42 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, oh i see | 07:42 |
| badkitty | joequincy: Hmm.. do you want windows installed at all ie dualboot? | 07:42 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, :) | 07:42 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV :) :) so is your sources.list generic ? and US ? | 07:42 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, mine using hong kong mirror | 07:42 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV ah. | 07:42 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, that's my fastest mirror | 07:43 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV know where i can get a template ? | 07:43 |
| joequincy | badkitty: nope. Just Ubuntu. It's basically going to be a web portal/printer station (maybe OOo) so I don't want the extra crap from Windows | 07:43 |
| badkitty | joequincy: Plus, what disc did you download and how is it not working... your should get a good copy of an install disc that works | 07:43 |
| neopsyche | can anyone help me with problem on ubuntu server? | 07:43 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, which mirror would you like to use? | 07:43 |
| karlNY | badkitty: joequincy can't get his inspiron to load the install CD properly - as soon as he hits enter to install/load the CD, it flashes his monitor .... on/off/on/off and all he can do then is power down and reboot. | 07:43 |
| macogw | neopsyche: whats up? | 07:43 |
| neopsyche | I cant seem to stream data to webpage on my LAMP | 07:43 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, i'll create one for you | 07:43 |
| Jangari | and when you download the iso, joequincy, do an md5 comparison | 07:43 |
| karlNY | badkitty: I agree about joequincy needs a known-good CD | 07:43 |
| NeonLightning | i have a ntfs partition setup with uid 999 and gid 999 and i'm trying to use nfs on this partition but every time i try and mount the nfs share i get a error saying permission denied from the server | 07:44 |
| macogw | neopsyche: ok outside my range, sorry | 07:44 |
| badkitty | joequincy: Ok well you COULD use windows to format the partitions.. but really you just need to get a working disc | 07:44 |
| neopsyche | macogw: cant stream flv.. not sure if it is a programming error or permissions | 07:44 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV thanks a lot. | 07:44 |
| emory | Hi I'm having problems connecting to the internet even from the live CD can anyone help? | 07:44 |
| macogw | neopsyche: is it 755? | 07:44 |
| neopsyche | hmm ok | 07:44 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: Whats up man | 07:44 |
| macogw | neopsyche: 755 is usually what you use on the web to be sure it'll work as far as permissions go | 07:44 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: im using joomla and embedding flv on my LAMP for localhost streaming but it wont stream? | 07:44 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, i need a mirror.. | 07:44 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV k | 07:45 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV archive.canonical.com ? | 07:45 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: I think there is actually a really good media plugin you can use for joomla that should resolve that.. makes adding all media really easy | 07:45 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, okeh then | 07:45 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, 10 second | 07:45 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, 5 min | 07:45 |
| GunbladeIV | keke | 07:45 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: im using allvideos plugin | 07:45 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: Ok, is it just not loading at all? | 07:46 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: That is the best plugin Im aware of for that | 07:46 |
| joequincy | all: I got the .iso off the University of Utah server (straight from the Ubuntu.com main page form). I used ImageBurner for OSX to verify the checksum and burn it. It should be fine. The verification utility on the disc doesn't show any errors either. | 07:46 |
| badkitty | joequincy: so what happens, why do you say it doesn't work? | 07:46 |
| Jangari | i'd blame the cd drive | 07:47 |
| Jangari | then i'd blame the communists | 07:47 |
| kaushal | hi | 07:47 |
| kaushal | good afternoon everyone | 07:47 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: Also does the media plugin play other types of media? | 07:47 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, so how am i going to send to you the source.list? | 07:47 |
| kaushal | I have a situation with one of my customer is facing a kernel panic when he boots the system.how can he send those information to me. | 07:47 |
| kaushal | I mean about 10 - 15 lines above the kernel panic line message | 07:48 |
| kaushal | One way is to manually write those information on a piece of paper and then write it in email and send it to through email.I believe there should be some method to capture kernel panic message | 07:48 |

| gonzoism | GunbladeIV got apache running ? | 07:48 |
| badkitty | GunbladeIV: Why dont you paste it on pastebin | 07:48 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, yeah.. | 07:48 |
| GunbladeIV | badkitty, yup.. | 07:48 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: no .. they all dont want to play.. it just says 'waiting for localhost' in the browser | 07:48 |
| GunbladeIV | badkitty, gud idea | 07:48 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV url would be cool. wget :) | 07:48 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, my apache cant be accessible from my office.. got firewall.. | 07:48 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: You mind if I take a look or is it only configured for localhost | 07:49 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, i'll paste it in the pastebin then | 07:49 |
| gonzoism | GunbladeIV pastebin is cool. or email. | 07:49 |
| zorn | Is there an article that explains how printing works in ubuntu? | 07:50 |
| joequincy | badkitty: I boot from CD, and it loads the options screen. I choose the default first option (Start or Install Ubuntu), and it goes to a progress bar. After about two minutes of that, the screen flicks on and off several times, before ending up off, but with the machine running. If I do nothing, it sits there forever. If I tap the power button, the screen flicks on long enough for me to see... | 07:50 |
| joequincy | Note: it shows a "Loading Linux kernel" progress bar, which finishes. Then it shows the Ubuntu logo with an orange progress bar, which bounces back and forth for a while... then begins to "progress" from the left to right. When that bar fills, the screen turns off. There isn't any flickering... rather it turns off, then color fades (my bad, I mistook that LCD characteristic for flickering... | 07:50 |
| joequincy | ...there's an error message (I'll try to get it in a sec) before ejecting the disc and blanking the screen. At this point nothing happens and I have to hold the power button to turn it off. | 07:50 |
| joequincy | ...the first time). | 07:50 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: unfortuantely it is only on localhost atm | 07:50 |
| badkitty | joequincy: hmm maybe try the alternate install cd | 07:51 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: wondering how it can work? | 07:51 |
| joequincy | badkitty: ok, what are you referring to? | 07:51 |
| sn00zer | how do you comment out paragraphs at a time? # is for one-liners, i forgot the multi-line one.... | 07:51 |

| neopsyche | badkitty: dont know how to do port forwarding here.. am behind routers | 07:57 |
| jorje_villafan | So my computer runs fine on MS Windows, and when I switched to Linux it runs poorly. The graphics get stupid and it freezes often. I have been trying to figure this out for some time now. Last week I changed to a lower resolution, and while it didn't completely stop acting silly, it got much better. My computer has onboard sis760 graphics. My guess is a driver problem, so I am thinking of getting an nvidia graphics card to hopefully | 07:57 |
| GunbladeIV | gonzoism, np | 07:57 |
| fesha | wlastik: I just ment a LAN | 07:57 |

| sxealex | anyone know how to wake from screen save black screen over ssh? | 07:58 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: see above | 07:58 |

| Leechzilla | I'm running an IRCD. How do I set it in inetd.conf which IP/port it should listen on? | 07:58 |

| Filled-Void | macd, yes | 07:59 |
| fesha | wlastik: it isnt reporting any errors, also no recieved or transmitted packets. No IP address | 07:59 |
| Filled-Void | macogw, Yes | 07:59 |
| wlastik | fesha type dhclient eth0 to acquire an ip address assuming you are using dhcp | 07:59 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: hence.. no public ip ;-) | 08:00 |
| neopsyche | badkitty: they make you pay a lot for just about everything. | 08:00 |
| fesha | wlastik: NO DHCPOFFERS received but we do have a DHCP server | 08:00 |
| badkitty | neopsyche: Hmm well I don't know what to tell you then .. maybe tomorrow.. Im gonna try and get vmware working with the LAMP appliance I just got done downloading and Ill test it with joomla which I already have downloaded, and Im sure I have allvideo plugin on my external drive somewhere | 08:01 |
| wlastik | fesha can you paste the ifconfig results? | 08:01 |

| weiboyou8 | HELLO！！ | 08:07 |
| fesha | wlastik: http://paste-bin.com/13073 | 08:08 |
| wlastik | gaten what the heck is raw html ? | 08:08 |
| weiboyou8 | which system do you use?? | 08:08 |
| gaten | wlastik: it shows the html code itself instead of the rendered html | 08:09 |
| wlastik | fesha-> you dont have an ip address assigned to you, rerun either dhclient eth0; or /etc/init.d/networking restart | 08:10 |
| NeonLightning | i thought when it came to html it was all rendered client side and php was rendered server side or am i thinking backwards again? | 08:10 |
| wlastik | gaten you mean it shows the tags like <html> ? | 08:10 |

| gaten | wlastik: correct | 08:12 |
| fesha | wlastik: /etc/init.d/networking restart says: Reconfiguring network interfaces - OK then ifconfig and no IP address. so I tried dhclient eth0 and it says No DHCPOFFERS recieved. and still no IP from ifconfig | 08:12 |

| Le^stat | Leechzilla so nobody can help us? | 08:26 |
| Le^stat | that sux | 08:26 |
| emory | macogw: what would you recommend I do to gt it configured? | 08:26 |
| macogw | emory: if you type "ifconfig" what interfaces are listed? | 08:26 |
| Le^stat | i think it has something to do with the pci express | 08:26 |
| Leechzilla | Le^stat: Doesn't seem like it. Thought I'd try another distro next month. That error message annoys me. | 08:26 |
| emory | macogw: eth0 and lo | 08:26 |
| Le^stat | *shakes fist* | 08:27 |
| macogw | emory: maybe (trying to remember the right command...) sudo dhclient eth0 | 08:27 |
| emory | macogw: No DHCPOFFERS recieved | 08:27 |
| macogw | emory: :-/ your router's not answering your computer when you hit it | 08:28 |
| macogw | emory: dhclient is supposed to tell it to say hello to the router and they shake hands, and the router gives it an ip address | 08:29 |
| emory | macogw: well ... I'm using the same router to talk to you right now ;) so I kinda feel like its not actually trying to talk to the router... | 08:29 |
| macogw | emory: yeah...thats what i figured youd say :P | 08:30 |
| emory | macogw: You have any other suggestions? This is a new motherboard in an old install, a transplant if you will, you think its possible its still trying to use the old NIC driver? | 08:31 |
| macogw | emory: i dont know, sorry. the router doesnt by any chance have any mac address filtering or anything set up that youve forgotten about? | 08:31 |
| emory | macogw: Only for wireless | 08:31 |
| macogw | emory: possible, but modprobing sky2 wouldve activated the proper driver | 08:32 |
| macogw | emory: you could try putting sky2 in /etc/modules then rebooting | 08:32 |

| rich1 | hi. are there any ubuntu forum mods on here? | 08:42 |
| oeb | Morning folks. I saw somewhere in the docs that there is a version of the ubuntu cd with a text only installer. Where can I download this? I can't see the option in the 'Get Ubuntu' or 'Download' sections of the website. | 08:42 |
| Bodsda | Didot, language? | 08:42 |
| macogw | rich1: i am | 08:42 |
| macogw | rich1: whats up? | 08:42 |
| Didot | Indonesian | 08:43 |
| Bodsda | !indonesian | 08:43 |
| ubotu | join ke #ubuntu-id untuk membahas ubuntu dalam bahasa Indonesia | 08:43 |
| macogw | oeb: the Alternate CD is a text-mode installer. the Server CD results in a text-only system when you're done installing | 08:43 |
| prince_jammys | oeb: the ubuntu server might work | 08:43 |
| rich1 | macogw: cool. i was having trouble with firefox and applets. i made xul.mfasl executable and now they work. is that ok? | 08:43 |
| Bodsda | !alternative cd | 08:43 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alternative cd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:43 |
| macogw | rich1: no idea | 08:43 |
| macogw | rich1: whats that have to do with forum modship? | 08:43 |
| Yamato | which of the 2 ubuntu variants has a smaller hdd requirement? | 08:43 |
| rich1 | macogw: i guess i'm asking too late cause i posted the fix on the forums. | 08:44 |
| Didot | ubotu:thank | 08:44 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about thank - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:44 |
| macogw | Yamato: xubuntu is the lightest weight | 08:44 |
| prince_jammys | oeb: i have installed ubuntu server, it's text only and you don't really have to install any of the server stuff | 08:44 |
| rich1 | macogw: i don't know. i guess i just thought you guys knew everything. | 08:44 |
| olskolirc | hello | 08:44 |
| macogw | Yamato: a server install would be the smallest, but there'd be no graphical mousey stuff..just command line, and im guessing you dont want that | 08:44 |
| Yamato | k | 08:44 |
| prince_jammys | Yamato: probably xubuntu | 08:44 |
| oeb | prince_jammys, macogw, the problem is the live cd, it does not seem to like the fact that I only have 512 ram. I want gnome etc on the final system, I just dont want to have to install from within the live cd. | 08:44 |
| macogw | rich1: nah we just turn into mods if we're considered helpful and friendly and stuff and are there for a while | 08:44 |
| macogw | oeb: then use the Alternate | 08:45 |
| prince_jammys | Yamato: unless you don't even want a gui, in which case ubuntu server | 08:45 |
| Yamato | i do | 08:45 |
| Yamato | i want a more stable alternative to Windows | 08:45 |
| Yamato | that takes a lot less ram | 08:45 |
| Yamato | and hdd space | 08:45 |
| rich1 | macogw: ok. i just hope i didn't post bad advice. | 08:45 |
| oeb | macogw, that's what I cant find. In the get ubuntu section of the website my only options for desktop is 7.10 and 6.06LTS. is the 6.06 the alt version? | 08:46 |
| prince_jammys | Yamato: xubuntu is a small desktop (xfce) -- good if you have little ram, just fewer bells and whistles | 08:46 |
| oeb | doh, just saw it | 08:46 |
| Yamato | i have 1024mb of ram | 08:47 |
| Yamato | and soon 2048 | 08:47 |
| Yamato | i just like having more HDD space avaliable | 08:47 |
| prince_jammys | oeb: did you get an error about ram? | 08:47 |
| Furythor | I need help to select correct driver for my graphics card (I have nforce based mother board) | 08:47 |
| prince_jammys | oeb: sometimes the burn speed of the live cd can be an issue, i found | 08:47 |
| Bodsda | oeb, http://linux.softpedia.com/progDownload/Ubuntu-Gutsy-Gibbon-Download-27851.html | 08:47 |
| oeb | prince_jammys, nope, just takes about 30 min to boot and then freezes up. | 08:47 |
| Bodsda | oeb, the alternative cd is the one you want | 08:47 |
| olskolirc | color test | 08:48 |
| macogw | oeb: i hate the new website. see the checkbox at the bottom saying "check here if you need the altnernate cd"? click that, i think | 08:48 |
| Bodsda | oeb, the link i gave you, has the text based instaler download | 08:49 |
| prince_jammys | oeb: have had that problem. in addition to what others are saying, i would also try burning the cd at a slower speed if you are using it on the cdrom of a different machine | 08:49 |
| oeb | Bodsda, thanks, it's on the way down =) | 08:49 |
| Bodsda | oeb, cool,.how do you no its freezed? is it just a black screen? | 08:49 |
| oeb | prince_jammys, ok thanks. I'll try that (I'm burning it from this machine and trying to install it on a laptop) | 08:49 |

| waini | i have read that the server-version want work (because of the kernel) | 08:53 |

| fanat1k | So I need to know what packages will be downloaded and installed if I click OK? I need a list of this packages | 08:54 |
| waini | there is only one serial-ata hdd | 08:54 |
| FloodBot1 | fanat1k: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:54 |
| Bodsda | waini, i think you may have a corrupt grub from a bad install,.,.formatt hard drive and reinstall? | 08:54 |
| LL00 | someone know about sed and how to delete matched lines? I try sed "/#/d" file | 08:55 |
| ph0rensic | haha .. I just installed enlightenment on my vmware server install.. it looks like crap by default | 08:55 |
| Bodsda | fanat1k, probably yes | 08:55 |
| waini | after reading, that the server version will not work on my system i hvae installed the alternate by reformatting the hole hdd | 08:55 |
| prince_jammys | waini: don't know the answer, but you can try to repair using "super grub disk" -- google, download and burn live cd | 08:56 |
| c1|freaky | is the kernel upgrade from today fixing the new found kernel bug? | 08:56 |
| LL00 | it's change the matched lines for \n | 08:56 |
| Bodsda | waini, the alternate what? alternate cd for desktop/server ?? | 08:56 |
| waini | alternate installation with command-line option | 08:56 |
| Bodsda | waini, for what edition desktop or server? | 08:57 |
| waini | destop | 08:57 |
| prince_jammys | waini: or manually edit menu.lst if you know what you're doing, from a live cd that gives you access | 08:57 |
| waini | i think so | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | waini, so have you installed it or not? | 08:57 |
| fanat1k | Bodsda: oh my bad English, u dont understand me :( I need a list of this packages without downloading | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | fanat1k, you want to know whats inside the deb files? | 08:57 |
| reacocard | I'm compiling some software and it wants AM_CHECK_PYMOD, any idea where I can find this? | 08:58 |
| isra | &join #ubuntu-de | 08:58 |
| fanat1k | Bodsda: I want to know names of the deb's which need to be downloaded | 08:58 |
| Bodsda | reacocard, if thats the package name it gives then sudo apt-et install packagename | 08:59 |
| waini | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso - thats it | 08:59 |
| ph0rensic | Any use LAMP in vmware apliance? | 08:59 |
| tarelerulz | Do any of you know of a program that could be use to make a .avi , ogg etc into a dvd ? | 08:59 |
| ph0rensic | appliance* | 08:59 |
| === tyczek_ is now known as Tyczek | ||
| reacocard | Bodsda: it's not a package, it's something to do with autoconf | 08:59 |
| prince_jammys | tarelerulz: avidemux is one | 08:59 |
| Bodsda | reacocard, oh ok,.,.not sure then im afraid | 08:59 |
| Bodsda | reacocard, synaptic search? | 08:59 |
| reacocard | it's not there, this is not by any means my first compiled [piece of software | 09:00 |
| prince_jammys | tarelerulz: from command line, mencoder or ffmpeg can do it-- one of the two | 09:00 |
| reacocard | I know the normal tricks | 09:00 |
| Bodsda | fanat1k, if its gonna ask you if you want to install something, it will most likely download all nessesary files itself,.,.no? | 09:00 |
| blazinfire | alright i'm having a problem. i recently updated to ubuntu 7.10. and for some odd reason i'm connected with an internet connection. but the only software that i'm able to use my connection with is pidgin | 09:02 |
| blazinfire | i can't update ubuntu, cant add any software. cant even use firefox | 09:02 |
| * Bodsda thinks this channel is oddly quiet today | 09:03 | |
| wasta | tyo | 09:04 |
| Bodsda | tyo | 09:04 |
| spanther | Bodsda, thats how it is hehe :) | 09:04 |
| Bodsda | spanther, this place is hardly ever silent,.,.lol.,,.it even has busy hours like a coffee shop,.,.haha | 09:05 |
| spanther | Bodsda, well another question do you know for what this "Deskbar Applet" is? ^^ | 09:06 |
| fanat1k | Bodsda: I've downloaded this packages at another computer and now I want to copy them from it, but I dont now what packages to copy? There are so many packages in var/cache/apt... :( | 09:06 |
| Bodsda | !deskbar | 09:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about deskbar - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:06 |
| xyblor | How do I enable dual-head monitors on an ATI Radeon 8500? I'm on Ubuntu 7.10 | 09:06 |
| macogw | spanther: you ever see Spotlight on a Mac? | 09:06 |
| spanther | i can type in something to search for | 09:06 |
| spanther | macogw, no sorry hehe | 09:06 |
| ph0rensic | xyblor: I usually use the edit the config but i think you might be able to do it via the display manager???? | 09:06 |
| Bodsda | fanat1k, if you dont know the name of the deb files,. how am i meant to know | 09:06 |
| spanther | its this weird icon next to my name in the upper right panel | 09:07 |
| Bodsda | spanther, oh that search feature that does nothing? its so funny | 09:07 |
| macogw | spanther: oh...well that's basically what deskbar is. It's like a combination of a launcher, a desktop search thing, and some other stuff... there are plugins you can enable to search your del.icio.us links, check the dictionary, etc | 09:07 |
| xyblor | ph0rensic: no that option is disabled in display manager | 09:07 |
| ph0rensic | xyblor: Ok is your system running the proprietary drivers? | 09:08 |
| blazinfire | <blazinfire> alright i'm having a problem. i recently updated to ubuntu 7.10. and for some odd reason i'm connected with an internet connection. but the only software that i'm able to use my connection with is pidgin | 09:08 |
| perfector | blazinfire: u must be having a firewall running... | 09:08 |
| fanat1k | Bodsda: maybe there is the way to know what packages are needed for smb&nfs? | 09:08 |
| xyblor | ph0rensic: I'm not sure, I just installed and haven't added anything custom except for updating the packages | 09:08 |
| blazinfire | nope no firewall | 09:08 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, the only thing i can think of is all of your programs (except pidgin) are blocking your ip, firewall? or its badly configured network | 09:09 |
| spanther | lol after typing a bit inside and deleting deskbar crashed XDD | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | fanat1k, im not sure, sorry | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | lol | 09:09 |
| fanat1k | Bodsda: ok, thx... | 09:09 |
| Bodsda | np | 09:09 |
| ph0rensic | xyblor: I have nvidia.. so I would ask someone with an ati card.. I dont want to be responsible for screwing up your display settings ;-) | 09:09 |
| macogw | spanther: yeah it has a tendency to do that | 09:09 |
| xyblor | ph0rensic: ok thanks anyway | 09:09 |
| ph0rensic | xyblor: Otherwise Id help u for sh0 | 09:10 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: can you ping a web site? | 09:10 |
| xyblor | ph0rensic: <3 | 09:10 |
| blazinfire | well the pc isn't even on a network. ofcourse its this pc that i'm running ubuntu | 09:10 |
| ph0rensic | haha | 09:10 |
| blazinfire | and no. i've tried connecting with a direct ip and tried pinging a site and doesn't work | 09:10 |
| spanther | ph0rensic, i do have ATI X850XT i would love to install 3D drivers but i have fear that i will kill my system like before yesterday when i tried to install these ATI drivers you can find at "restricted driver management" ^^ | 09:10 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: i'm googling for your problem, haven't found a solution yet | 09:10 |
| * Bodsda thinks xyblor & ph0rensic need to o get a room ;~) | 09:10 | |
| blazinfire | lol i've googled for 2 hours and finally gave up :P | 09:11 |
| ph0rensic | HAHA. | 09:11 |
| M-Nagato | blazinfire, you can use pidgin to connect to IM servers, but you can't ping a website? o_O | 09:11 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, can you ping your router? | 09:11 |
| M-Nagato | are you trying to ping the ip or the hostname | 09:11 |
| blazinfire | from what i've read and i'm having the same issue with kubuntu 7.10. this is actually a common problem between the two | 09:12 |
| blazinfire | yes. lol thats what weird | 09:12 |
| ph0rensic | spanther: Cant everyone just buy nvidia already!! | 09:12 |
| blazinfire | no router. | 09:12 |
| spanther | ph0rensic, sorry no :> *gg* | 09:12 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: try "dig AAAA www.kame.net" does it time out? | 09:12 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, thats because kubuntu 7.10 and ubuntu 7.10 are the same | 09:12 |
| blazinfire | not on a network | 09:12 |
| spanther | ph0rensic, give me monneeh !! xD | 09:12 |
| blazinfire | well ofcourse | 09:12 |
| * Bodsda donates 5 ubuntu pounds to spanther | 09:12 | |
| spanther | lol thx :> | 09:13 |
| Bodsda | np | 09:13 |
| Godril | hai all | 09:13 |
| Bodsda | hai | 09:13 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: does "dig A www.kame.net" time out? (as opposed to AAAA) | 09:13 |
| blazinfire | yup.... | 09:14 |
| M-Nagato | i think it might be worth testing an ip. try pinging 64.233.187.99 (google) | 09:14 |
| blazinfire | i did that | 09:14 |
| M-Nagato | oh, hm | 09:14 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, dhcp or static? | 09:14 |
| blazinfire | static | 09:14 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, have you got any dns's? | 09:15 |
| blazinfire | no | 09:15 |
| macogw | ph0rensic: no, because i refuse to give up my lovely open-source-driver-using Intel graphics | 09:15 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, then dig wont work,.,.why no dns's? | 09:15 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: from google, lots of people with your problem but they can ping | 09:15 |
| J2RoR | is there a program that opens tar.gz file from windows ? | 09:15 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: so something else is up | 09:15 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, he has no dns's so digg wont work | 09:15 |
| sx66_eeepc | hi | 09:15 |
| macogw | J2RoR: winzip can do it, i think | 09:16 |
| Bodsda | hi | 09:16 |
| sx66_eeepc | Bodsda, what comp are you running? | 09:16 |
| Bodsda | J2RoR, winzip,unrar,7zip | 09:16 |
| blazinfire | prince_jammys just curious what was the fix to those probs? | 09:16 |
| Bodsda | sx66_eeepc, a black one | 09:16 |
| blazinfire | maybe i can come up with something from that | 09:16 |
| ph0rensic | macogw: Ok well you can keep that on | 09:16 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: something to do with ip6 | 09:16 |
| sx66_eeepc | are you overclocking it? | 09:16 |
| Bodsda | sx66_eeepc, whats that otta do with you? | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: thats why the dig AAA v dig A | 09:17 |
| sx66_eeepc | Bodsda, what temp is your cpu? | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: but apparently you have a different prob | 09:17 |
| blazinfire | yea | 09:17 |
| Bodsda | blazinfire, enter a dns in your network manager then try dig | 09:17 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: tried already | 09:17 |
| Bodsda | sx66_eeepc, 400 derees,.wtf do you want! | 09:17 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, he told me he has no dns's | 09:17 |
| sx66_eeepc | Bodsda, because I just overclocked it, and stepping the fan... | 09:18 |
| blazinfire | the weirdest thing is... i got a freakin dialup pc running next to me. its one i've been working on. and it works just fine running on my network when i have it up | 09:18 |
| blazinfire | it even works fine on its dialup | 09:18 |
| Bodsda | sx66_eeepc, you overclocked your machine,,.haha, unless you have watercooling your f***ed | 09:18 |
| psykidellic | Hi. Whats wrong with: zip -r ./zips/47b2ae5d3aad2/ ./zips/fooUvHW2j.zip ??? I always get NOTHING TO DO error | 09:18 |
| psykidellic | There are around 10 files in the folder, all of which I want to compress. | 09:19 |
| Bodsda | psykidellic, why not do it through autilus? | 09:19 |
| Bodsda | nautilus | 09:19 |
| Panic1 | is it normal that the screensaver WebCollage (possible Dutch spelling) shows pictures of naked women? | 09:19 |
| sx66_eeepc | Bodsda, it is fine, the temp is around 52c, everything works fine...so far. | 09:19 |
| psykidellic | Bodsda, No X on the server :) | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | sx66_eeepc, why are you talking to me,. ubuntu problems only,. | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | psykidellic, oh, ok,. is zip a valid command? why not use gz? | 09:20 |
| Bodsda | psykidellic, tar? | 09:20 |
| psykidellic | yes. Zip is valid. Because I have to send the archive to multiple people half of them who are on Windows | 09:21 |
| sx66_eeepc | Bodsda, what os do you have on it? 7.10 kills it | 09:21 |
| psykidellic | and most of them dont have gz or tar unarchiver | 09:21 |
| psykidellic | WinZip is all they have | 09:21 |
| Panic1 | psykidelic, zip is to make a zip file, use unzip to extract it | 09:21 |
| M-Nagato | Panic1, i had to look that one up since it sounds pretty funny | 09:21 |
| M-Nagato | but | 09:21 |
| compengi | doesn't kernel -2.6.22-14- has an exploit? | 09:21 |
| M-Nagato | WebCollage is a program that creates collages out of random images found on the Web. More images are being added to the collage about once a minute, so this page will reload itself periodically. | 09:21 |
| Bodsda | psykidellic, the tarbal can be opened and unzipped by any windows zipping prog | 09:21 |
| Bodsda | sx66_eeepc, i have 7.10 | 09:21 |
| M-Nagato | they turned it into a screensaver, so that's why you're seeing it | 09:21 |
| Panic1 | m-nagato: i normally wouldn't care, but this is my work 'puter :-) | 09:22 |
| macogw | compengi: dpkg -l linux-image-* | 09:22 |
| macogw | compengi: .51, yes. .52, no | 09:22 |
| waini | big problem | 09:22 |
| psykidellic | Bodsda, if I use gzip then I dont think so...... | 09:22 |
| macogw | compengi: an update went out yesterday to fix it | 09:22 |
| waini | the super grub disks hangs on Loading stage2 | 09:22 |
| M-Nagato | i would recommend using another screensaver then, since i don't know if there's a way to filter the interweb | 09:22 |
| Bodsda | psykidellic, trust me tar.gz can be read by winrar,winzip,7zip and more | 09:22 |
| compengi | macogw, i see.. because i'm upgrading now and just wondered. thanks | 09:22 |
| neeto | How do I get two programs to use the same soudcard at the same time? | 09:23 |
| waini | help!! | 09:23 |
| Panic1 | i have it on random selection... is there away to disable one of those screensavers? | 09:23 |
| prince_jammys | waini: super grub doesn't work? | 09:23 |
| Panic1 | now it's showing hardcore pr0n | 09:24 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, cool,.can i have the link? | 09:24 |
| waini | yes - it doesnt work | 09:24 |
| neeto | lol, yeah, why do you want to disable that? | 09:24 |
| M-Nagato | Panic1, i wish i could help you further. and i can't help but giggle on the inside at the thought XD | 09:24 |
| Panic1 | my colleagues are quite sensitive :p | 09:24 |
| waini | the same (but now stage2 - not stage1.5.) | 09:24 |
| prince_jammys | waini: can you get into the system with a live/recovery cd and read the menu.lst file? | 09:24 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, why do you have to have this particualr wallpaper? | 09:25 |
| Panic1 | i have it on random selection | 09:25 |
| M-Nagato | Panic1, it looks like the package is kscreensaver-xsavers-webcollage | 09:25 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, if things are hanging, hows that a menu.list problem? | 09:25 |
| M-Nagato | you could remove that | 09:25 |
| waini | i have a via-embedded-system (c7) - could that be the problem? | 09:25 |
| JosiahW | Anybody here running a wrt54gl router with the dd-wrt v.23 sp2 firmware? | 09:25 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: just ideas. had a problem like this once - wrong device id | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, you can use wallpaper tray,.that you can set to randomly choose a picture in a file | 09:26 |
| five | I'm having trouble installing libapache2-mod-fastcgi using apt-get. I'm told it's "not available, but referred to by another package" (this is on gutsy). Can anyone point me in the right direction? | 09:26 |
| Panic1 | m-nagato, i haven't got that package installed | 09:26 |
| waini | my menue-.lst is on the way | 09:26 |
| Panic1 | bodsda, how do i do that? | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, ok,.,.but if its hung twics with 2 diff things, i would swing more to a corrupt hd --> format->reinstall | 09:26 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, synaptic search wallpaper tray | 09:26 |
| Bromskloss | Hi! When I installed Ubuntu, it set up the screen resolution and such perfectly on my laptop. Now, after playing with different resolutions, it won't let me go back to the best one, and it keeps changing the driver behind my back! Thankful for help! | 09:27 |
| Panic1 | bodsda, i was talking about the webcollage screensaver showing explicit content on my work laptop :-) | 09:27 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, or sudo apt-get install wallpaper-tray | 09:27 |
| Panic1 | would be quite confrontational when giving a presentation :p | 09:28 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, where did you get this wallpaper? is it an app? lemme get it and il have a look? | 09:28 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, why do you have to have this wallpaper | 09:29 |
| Panic1 | it's one of the screensavers | 09:29 |
| Panic1 | it gets pictures from the inet | 09:29 |
| five | Problem solved: need to add multiverse in apt/sources.list | 09:29 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, then its an app, whats the name of it? is it standard or did you download it? | 09:29 |
| Bromskloss | Do I need to reinstall Ubuntu?! | 09:30 |
| Panic1 | but the inet is stuffed with inet pictures, so from time to time the random screensaver selection treats me with those prons | 09:30 |
| Panic1 | it's a standard screensaver | 09:30 |
| M-Nagato | Panic1, it looks like you can remove /usr/share/applications/screensavers/webcollage.desktop and it should be gone from your list | 09:30 |
| gary4gar | how do to make shortcuts in ubuntu? | 09:30 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, prons = porns ??? | 09:30 |
| Panic1 | yeah :-à) | 09:30 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: no - you're just gonna have to mess with your xorg.conf | 09:30 |
| Panic1 | maybe from xscreensaver-data-extra package? | 09:30 |
| Bodsda | gary4gar, right click, make link | 09:30 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: Aww, but it worked the first time! | 09:31 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: then there might be a backup in /etc/X11 | 09:31 |
| Ademan | anyone know of a tool that tests a series of source files to see if they contain the GPL notice or not? (bonus points if they add it in if it's not already there) | 09:31 |
| gary4gar | Bodsda, it creates link in same folder :S | 09:31 |
| betim- | hi all, I've got Lenovo N200; and I want to replace FN with CTRL, how do I do that? | 09:31 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: Ok, but it's still weird that I shouldn't be able to do the trick again. | 09:31 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: go to /etc/X11 and see if there's a backup xorg.conf with a date when it worked | 09:31 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, sorry, i dont know anything about it, if it seects pictures at random, theoretically it has to have search criteria, if you could get to the source, and knew how to proram you miht be able to filter,.,. i cant help im afraid | 09:32 |
| Panic1 | bodsda: it's a screensaver in the package xscreensaver-data-extra | 09:32 |
| Panic1 | hmmm, ok | 09:32 |
| Bodsda | gary4gar, so,. move it? | 09:32 |
| M-Nagato | Panic1, see my previous suggestion | 09:32 |
| Aloha | is there a package to install kde desktop? | 09:32 |
| M-Nagato | removing the webcollage.desktop file will remove it from your screensaves list | 09:32 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: then copy that backup to xorg.conf (in the same folder), and try restarting X | 09:32 |
| Ademan | Aloha: kubuntu-desktop | 09:32 |
| Panic1 | thanks, m-nagato | 09:32 |
| Aloha | Ademan, thanks | 09:32 |
| Ademan | Aloha: no problem | 09:32 |
| fbn | hi, Ubuntu/Gnome does not hibernate my laptop if battery is on critical level, but I have configured that in power manager settings. Why isn't that working? | 09:33 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: I see a lot of "xorg.conf.1", "xorg.conf.2" etc. Are those the ones I'm looking for? | 09:33 |
| Ayabara | I just installed Gutsy on my Dell XPS 1530, and I have some problems with my wireless. I can connect to my network without problems, but after a little while I lose connection, and then I have to reboot before stuff works again | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: yes -- look at the date to get an idea of which to try | 09:33 |
| gary4gar | Bodsda, okay | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: those are backups, the one your system uses is plain "xorg.conf". so you can copy a backup (rename it to just xorg.conf) and try it | 09:34 |
| Ayabara | any logs that could show me what happened when the wireless went down? | 09:34 |
| Aloha | why don't they put a link to the new flash in backports? why are they waiting for new release? | 09:34 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: OK. However, all the "backups" seem to be from today. | 09:34 |
| Ademan | Ayabara: /var/log/syslog might help you | 09:34 |
| Panic1 | i renamed /usr/share/applications/screensaver/webcollage.desktop to /usr/share/applications/screensaver/webcollage.desktop_filtered, it does the trick :-) | 09:35 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: and it never worked today? | 09:35 |
| Furythor | Hello again, I need help to determine which graphics driver to install from packet depository since I do have nforce motherboard on my laptop | 09:35 |
| Bodsda | Panic1, really? cool well done | 09:35 |
| gamerdude | anyone here familiar with gconf-editor?! i'm trying to change my lock-dialog-theme, but the option is greyed out | 09:35 |
| Ademan | Aloha: the one that fixes the broken package? that's in -proposed last i checked | 09:35 |
| Ayabara | request_and_convert_scan_results(): card took too much time scanning. Get a better one. | 09:35 |
| Ayabara | :-) | 09:35 |
| Panic1 | thanks for the assistance, m-nagato and bodsda :-) | 09:35 |
| Aloha | Ademan, hasn't it been that way for quite some time? | 09:35 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: Yes, it did. I just thought I was looking for the date the file was created. | 09:35 |
| Ademan | Aloha: unfortunately... yes... i got fed up and added proposed, refreshed, upgraded *only* flash, and then removed proposed lol | 09:36 |
| waini | here is my menue.lst: http://pastebin.com/m4a09ca48 | 09:36 |
| gamerdude | it's really wierd because folks on gnome-look.org don't seem to be having issues, but i don't have an option to change the key | 09:36 |
| Terranim | Hey all, can anyone help me with an Administration dialog problem? I posted on the forum but have had no reply: | 09:36 |
| Terranim | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=693634 | 09:36 |
| Terranim | There's a description and screenshot there | 09:36 |
| Aloha | Ademan, how do you add proposed? | 09:36 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: with some patience then you can recover it - you really don't need to reinstall. before you start i recommend you copy the whole /etc/X11 folder to your home in case things get messed up | 09:36 |
| Ademan | Aloha: if you go into synaptic, then settings->repositories under the "update" tab there's a checkbox for proposed | 09:37 |
| Aloha | Ademan, thnx! | 09:37 |
| Bodsda | waini, ### default grub root device### e.g. groot=(hd0,0)## groot=(hd0,0) are you sure thats the right hd number? | 09:37 |
| Ademan | Aloha: np :-) | 09:38 |
| waini | i have only one serial-atta-hdd inside | 09:38 |
| TRUST_ME | Hi | 09:38 |
| waini | so it sould be ok | 09:38 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: Too late! ;-) I just replaced xorg.conf with xorg.conf.1 and rebooted (I saw no difference with just Ctrl+Alt+Backspace). | 09:38 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: where's that key at? | 09:38 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: any luck? | 09:38 |
| Bodsda | Bromskloss, what are you trying to do? | 09:39 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: It seems so! Thanks a lot. | 09:39 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: you know those files are readable, so if you know what you changed you can spot it | 09:39 |
| Furythor | which I should take as graphics driver since I got two options Nvidia binary x.org driver and Nvidia binary x.org ("new" driver) | 09:39 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: apps -> gnome-screensaver -> lock_dialog_theme | 09:39 |
| Bodsda | Furythor, id pick new | 09:39 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: np. it takes some serious messing up to have to reinstall ubuntu | 09:40 |
| waini | hd0 is ok by one s-atta-hdd??? | 09:40 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: is that the only thing greyed out under gnome-screensaver? | 09:40 |
| pg | Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? | 09:40 |
| === JSteven is now known as StevenChow | ||
| gamerdude | rickrud: it's wierd, sometimes value is greyed out, sometimes it's not | 09:40 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, mine became unfixable after installing 1 package badly | 09:40 |
| Bodsda | splashy | 09:40 |
| gamerdude | rickrud: but name and type have always been greyed out | 09:40 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: i've messed up mine several times | 09:41 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: for all the items under gnome-screensaver, or only the one key? | 09:41 |
| Bodsda | gamerdude, nickrude has an 'n' at the beginning | 09:41 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: The strange thing is that it works so nicely from install. It chooses the right driver and calls the screen model "Custom 1". But then it won't do that again. | 09:41 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i'm trying to follow the instructions here http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gnome+Lock+Dialog+Silver?content=67776 | 09:41 |
| waini | please help me! | 09:41 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: that's fine. I'm wondering if the perms are messed up, that's why I'm asking about the other keys | 09:41 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: I wonder how I should connect another screen without messing up again. | 09:42 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: now that you have it working, copy the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.goodbackup or something, in case you change it again | 09:42 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: which key would be good to check? any of them? | 09:42 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: any under gnome-screensaver | 09:42 |
| skyraven | hello, I just bought myself a Dell XPS M1330 laptop...and am having problems with the sound card; it only played after volume was > 50% so I updated the alsa drivers (for snd-hda-intel), I rebooted the ubuntu..everything is detected and works fine..but no sound can be heard (nothing at all). I used alsamixer and unmuted everything but still nothing :( does anyone have any idea ? (I kind of miss the 50% bug now..at least I had sound) | 09:42 |
| prince_jammys | Bromskloss: i have no idea about multiple screens - never done it | 09:42 |
| Bromskloss | prince_jammys: OK. Thanks again! | 09:43 |
| nickrud | Bodsda: by the way, there's no e at the end, either ;p | 09:43 |
| Tiven | good morning guys :) - since last night that i updated to alsa 0.16 , x server needs to be started manually every time the computer boots . is there a way to do it automatically again ? | 09:43 |
| jam | hello | 09:43 |
| waini | i have turned hiddenmenue off - but grub hangs before showing me a menu | 09:43 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: like if i go to gnome-screenshot and try to change the key border_effect, the name and type are greyed out | 09:43 |
| Bodsda | nickrud, hahaha,.,. sorry dude,,. twitchy fingers today,.,.;~) | 09:43 |
| waini | i dont have any idea | 09:43 |
| jam | Hello, linux newbie here, I have a question... | 09:44 |

| CroX | *linux headers I mean | 09:44 |
| jam | how do I change a machine's IP to be static and not DHCP under ubuntu 7.10? | 09:44 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: invalid user ...hmmm | 09:45 |
| nickrud | jam: you would define it in /etc/network/interfaces , man interfaces has the technique | 09:45 |
| CroX | jam: System -> Administration -> Network | 09:45 |
| Tiven | jam : system > administration > network and then you can change it | 09:45 |
| Dimitree | hello :) I am unable to mount or openw ith archive manager some .iso files i get this error CD-ROM is NOT in ISO 9660 format ??? this is wierd because i installed from these .iso on windows with no problem :/ any idea ? | 09:45 |
| Tiven | oh damn | 09:45 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: replace yourusername with your actual user name | 09:45 |
| Bodsda | jam, in the top right corner theres a network icon, click on it-->network manager-->double click on your type of connection, then remove the roaming mode | 09:45 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: yeah i did hence the hmmm heh | 09:45 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: oh sec i mispelled it | 09:46 |

| Bodsda | Tiven, hows your mouse? (was it a mouse?) | 09:47 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: no error or anything | 09:47 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: you shouldn't get back anything in the terminal when it works correctly. Close gconf-editor, open it and try again | 09:47 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: it says this key is not writable | 09:48 |
| Tiven | Bodsda: it lagged yesterday for 1 second but i think that was normal . apart this its okay :) | 09:48 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: with an exclamation point | 09:48 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: are you finding this in schema/apps/gnomescreensaver ? | 09:49 |
| Bodsda | Tiven, wicked, do you play poker? (pokerTH game) | 09:49 |
| Tiven | i dunno poker ^^ | 09:49 |

| Tiven | yes but i dunno how to play it | 09:49 |
| Bodsda | Tiven, you should install pokerTH from repo's and practice,.its realy easy | 09:50 |
| Bodsda | well | 09:50 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i did try adding my own key which i think made it worse, is there a way to delete the key i made? | 09:50 |
| rabbis | can someone help me out? =\ i | 09:50 |
| Tiven | Bodsda: maybe when i fix my ubuntu i will :(( | 09:50 |
| rabbis | i'm new to linux and its confusing | 09:50 |
| prince_jammys | come on to pokerstars | 09:50 |
| Tiven | Bodsda: since i updated to latest alsa , im having some problems | 09:50 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: that is very strange, what does ls -l ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver say? It gives back one line | 09:50 |
| Bodsda | Tiven, not sure,. i've had no updates,.,.sorry | 09:51 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: right click the key, and select unset | 09:51 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, on my way | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: you play there? | 09:51 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, no, i thought it was a channel,.,.lol,.,. | 09:51 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: yeah i did try unsetting the one i made, but that's only temporary, it will come back when i bring this back up later | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: oh | 09:51 |
| wasta | tyo | 09:52 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, what is it ? website? | 09:52 |
| Terranim | ok, I've managed to partly solve my problem - if I switch fonts then the Shared Folders dialog renders fine, but if I switch back to Tahoma the text becomes little squares, however all other apps and dialog boxes in Ubuntu work fine with Tahoma, it's just the Shared Folders one? | 09:52 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: did you want me to type that in the terminal? | 09:52 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: yeah | 09:52 |
| pocketdrummer | What is a good website to get started on programming for linux (I have no experience at all at this), and what programs would I need to get started? | 09:52 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: it shouldn't be permanent. I've created and deleted keys many times. And yes, type that in a terminal, and paste the one line you get back | 09:52 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: one of the biggest, along with fulltilt, partypoker | 09:52 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, oh,. not really for me,. fancy a game of pokerTH? | 09:52 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: well, the one long line that is | 09:52 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: partypoker is by far the biggest, but doesnt allow US customers any more | 09:53 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: says total 4 | 09:53 |
| Bodsda | haha | 09:53 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: I'm poker-ed out today, sorry | 09:53 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: played a lot last night | 09:53 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, why? | 09:53 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: should have a line like -rw------- 1 rich rich 834 2008-02-13 01:49 %gconf.xml as well | 09:53 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: then after that it has my nick twice | 09:53 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: yeah it does | 09:53 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, just for fun,. | 09:53 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: would you kindly show it to me | 09:54 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: stragee@garys-ubuntu-desktop:~$ ls -l ~/.gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver | 09:54 |
| gamerdude | total 4 | 09:54 |
| gamerdude | -rw------- 1 stragee stragee 496 2008-02-13 03:10 %gconf.xml | 09:54 |
| linduxed | i know that if ive done some alias it will be gone if i reboot...assuming that im that kind of person that does reboot, how do i make aliases permanent? | 09:54 |
| prince_jammys | linduxed: stick em in .bashprofile | 09:55 |
| linduxed | prince_jammys: will try | 09:55 |
| linduxed | its not located in home... | 09:56 |
| prince_jammys | linduxed: or .bashrc, i don't remember | 09:56 |
| soundray | linduxed, prince_jammys: ~/.bashrc | 09:56 |
| linduxed | soundray: there we go | 09:57 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: any thoughts? heeh | 09:57 |
| waini | could it be, that my system supports no sata 300 hdd? (for booting) but installation is possible? | 09:57 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: try this: gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-screensaver (this will set all the keys to the default) | 09:57 |
| soundray | linduxed: what are you doing? Just out of interest, just joined | 09:57 |
| prince_jammys | soundray: isn't there also a .bashprofile? | 09:58 |
| rabbis | how do i install drivers for my modem | 09:58 |
| starked | Does anyone have any idea why the terminals that show up when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 wouldn't be showing up? All I get is a black screen. | 09:58 |
| linduxed | adding aliases, needed to get em permanent instead of resetting every boot | 09:58 |
| soundray | prince_jammys: some distribution provide a ~/.bash_profile, but mostly it's sourced from .bashrc | 09:58 |
| nickrud | !dialup | rabbis | 09:58 |
| ubotu | rabbis: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 09:58 |
| prince_jammys | Bodsda: sorry man, i just spent so many hours playing that i'm not in the mood today | 09:58 |
| soundray | *distributions | 09:58 |
| Bodsda | prince_jammys, ok,.,.lemme no if you change your mind | 09:59 |
| rabbis | hmm.. how about broadband.. is it the same concept? | 09:59 |
| linduxed | prince_jammys: i dont think there is in ubuntu...however i do have memories of mandrake and gentoo using that | 09:59 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: naw when i ran sudo gconf-editor after i ran that, my key that i created before was back, and it's still saying "this key is not writable" with an exclamation point | 09:59 |
| Ayabara | My Dell has the "Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-PCI Card". Should I install a restricted driver for this? | 09:59 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: doh, do not use sudo gconf-editor, that's your problem. | 10:00 |
| starked | Does anyone have any idea why the terminals that show up when I press Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6 wouldn't be showing up? All I get is a black screen. Any suggestions/ideas? | 10:00 |
| g[r]eek | Hi I want to install Ubuntu from scratch with two hard drives using RAID 1. Any good tutorials for a relative Ubuntu newbie? | 10:00 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i've tried with and without | 10:00 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: sudo writes to your config with root permissions, and then prevents you from making any changes as yourself | 10:00 |
| Dimitree | How can i find out what format is a .iso file ? if it's not ISO 9660 format ? | 10:01 |
| soundray | g[r]eek: my advice would be not to start with a RAID configuration | 10:01 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: oh crap, so that would be why my key i created won't go away | 10:01 |
| prince_jammys | waini: you already ruled out problems of the type hd0 instead of sd0 and such, right? | 10:01 |
| g[r]eek | soundray: Ok so do I just install Ubuntu Gutsy normally on the one hard drive and then what? | 10:01 |
| g[r]eek | soundray: Can I just plug in another hard drive and mirror the first? | 10:01 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: well i ran without sudo, and now the exclamation point is gone, but the two options i need are still greyed out | 10:02 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: do sudo chown -R stragee:stragee ~/.gconf ~/.gnome ~/.gnome2 ~/.gconfd ~/.config ~/.local , log out and back in | 10:02 |
| waini | im my menue.lst never was sd0 | 10:02 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: and ~/.gnome2-private . | 10:02 |
| soundray | g[r]eek: why do you want a RAID 1? | 10:02 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: would cntrl-alt-backspace be ok for logging in and out? | 10:03 |
| waini | i think my menue.lst is ok | 10:03 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: it works, just be sure all apps are saved and closed first | 10:03 |
| prince_jammys | waini: i don't know much about this at all, but once i had problems because of hd0,1 instead of hd0,2 --- that type of problem. beyond that i really don't know grub | 10:03 |
| coolbhavi | I had imported my file from excel.. (containing some old entries) now I have added new numbers and have the autocalculate option on.. I use the sigma function for addition.. Now I am not getting a correct total (It totals only new numbers added) | 10:03 |
| g[r]eek | soundray: That is besides the point. I don't mean to be rude. Can you recommend a tutorial? | 10:03 |
| jhs_s | Following problem: I want to use bug-buddy for my application that come from upstream (not Ubuntu). So I set the gconf-key run_on_crash. /etc/default/apport says "enabled = 1" and I restarted apport with /etc/init.d/apport restart. Anyway, neither bug-buddy nor apport come up when an application crashes. | 10:04 |
| waini | super-grub disk failed to show me his menue | 10:04 |
| coolbhavi | I m on ubuntu 7.10 with OO 2.3.. What should I do? | 10:04 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: it's saying that last directory don't exist | 10:04 |
| waini | i think my hdd is the problem | 10:04 |
| Leechzilla | gamerdude: Works okay but last week it rebooted my system instead of logging me out | 10:04 |
| coolbhavi | anyone please help | 10:04 |
| Leechzilla | I wouldn't do it again | 10:04 |
| waini | and causes a freezed grub | 10:04 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: sorry, that's ~/.gnome2_private , _ not - | 10:04 |
| Bodsda | waini, format and reinstall!! | 10:04 |
| waini | if thts possible^^ | 10:05 |
| soundray | g[r]eek: it's bang on the point. If you are a newbie with Ubuntu, you should gather your first experience in a non-RAID configuration. When you're more familiar with the system, then it's time to think about advanced stuff. Learn to walk before you try to run. | 10:05 |
| zoidberg_ | hey guys i have a question about skype | 10:05 |
| prince_jammys | waini: you have access to the internet? cuz theres some how-tos you can check out | 10:05 |
| zoidberg_ | i just installed it | 10:05 |
| waini | @bodsda: i have already done this three times!!! | 10:05 |
| soundray | !enter | zoidberg_ | 10:05 |
| ubotu | zoidberg_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:05 |
| waini | i have searched google .... - but no solution | 10:06 |
| Bodsda | waini, then you have a badly burnt .iso!!! | 10:06 |
| g[r]eek | soundray: I am a relative newbie. I've been using ubuntu for a while. But I'm not as experienced as some of you guys. I've learnt to walk. I need to run. It is not my intention to justify why I want RAID 1. I've done the research and it is exactly what I need. Please answer my previous questions. | 10:06 |
| thostyn | Hi. I decided to install ubuntu, but I installed a quite old version (5.10). Now I've got the cd to install 7.10, but when I boot my computer en choose the 'install' option it just stops doing anything. What should I do? Help me please! | 10:06 |

| thostyn | Hi. I decided to install ubuntu, but I installed a quite old version (5.10). Now I've got the cd to install 7.10, but when I boot my computer en choose the 'install' option it just stops doing anything. What should I do? Help me please! | 10:07 |
| Bodsda | waini, you said both of them froze? then you either have a bad write speed, or a buggered cd drive | 10:07 |
| nickrud | thostyn: check your burn first with the check disk item on the startup menu | 10:08 |
| soundray | thostyn: have you got enough RAM? | 10:08 |
| waini | now super-grub works! | 10:08 |
| Bodsda | wtf,.,.lol | 10:08 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: name and type are still greyed out | 10:08 |
| prince_jammys | thostyn: yeah could be RAM issue or cd burn speed sometimes | 10:08 |
| waini | because my hdd is out of the system | 10:08 |
| thostyn | nickrud: what's thatt? | 10:09 |
| thostyn | other: don't know about RAM | 10:09 |
| Aloha | waini, whats super-grub? | 10:09 |
| prince_jammys | Aloha: a grub recovery live cd | 10:09 |
| thostyn | Could be RAM, it's an old PC | 10:09 |
| JosiahW | anybody here changed the firmware of a wrt54gl to the DD-Wrt firmware? | 10:09 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: I'm not sure what you did ... Try creating a new user, and changing it there. It may be necessary for you to reset all the keys and start over on this user | 10:09 |
| danisahne | i am trying to setup xen. are the libs coming with ubuntu compatible concerning the 4gb fixup bug? | 10:09 |
| Aloha | prince_jammys, what do you mean by "recovery"? | 10:09 |
| nickrud | thostyn: when you start the cd, it has a choice to check it | 10:09 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: hmm, well they were greyed out long before i created my own key heh | 10:10 |
| g[r]eek | soundray: That fakeRaidHowto is exactly what I wanted. Thanks. Cheers | 10:10 |
| soundray | thostyn: 256MB can be tight. Look at your boot messages, or open a Terminal (Applications-Accessories-Terminal) and run 'free' | 10:10 |
| prince_jammys | Aloha: when grub gets corrupted (eg if you reinstall windows in a dual boot machine) | 10:10 |
| waini | super grub is a small cd for repairing the grub bootloader | 10:10 |
| zoidberg_ | in skype i do not see a video option....but in camorama i can see my webcam just fine...what can i do to enable my webcam in skype? | 10:10 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: would there be a command line that would allow me to change that key? | 10:10 |
| waini | with hdd in - now grub hangs | 10:10 |
| Aloha | prince_jammys, so it rewrites the MBR? | 10:10 |
| wasta | tyy | 10:10 |
| prince_jammys | Aloha: or not corrupted, but somehow busted ... i don't really know grub but i've used the cd | 10:10 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: try the gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/gnome-screensaver I gave you earlier | 10:11 |
| prince_jammys | Aloha: dunno | 10:11 |
| J_Ripper | test | 10:11 |

| gamerdude | nickrud: didn't do anything when i typed that | 10:11 |
| soundray | zoidberg_: which version of skype do you have? | 10:12 |
| J_Ripper | is jemand hier der deutsch spricht? | 10:12 |
| prince_jammys | Aloha: the time i used it actually didn't work - i had to go in with another live cd and edit menu.lst manually | 10:12 |
| J_Ripper | anny german in here? | 10:12 |

| nickrud | gamerdude: it did stuff. Normally when a terminal command is run, no output means successful completion | 10:12 |
| J_Ripper | oh | 10:12 |
| Aloha | prince_jammys, gotcha | 10:12 |
| J_Ripper | thx :D:D | 10:12 |
| zoidberg_ | soundray, version 1.4.0.1 | 10:12 |
| Furythor | how I do disable compiz, so game performance would be better ? | 10:12 |
| zoidberg_ | soundray, version 1.4.0.118 | 10:12 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: alright, just lettin ya know there were no errors heh | 10:12 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: now, check in gconf-editor again | 10:12 |
| soundray | zoidberg_: it's too old, it doesn't have video support. | 10:13 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: in kde, "kwin --replace", in gnome, probably "metacity --replace" but i aint sure | 10:13 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: the only thing i can change is the value of the key | 10:13 |
| zoidberg_ | soundray, which version does? | 10:13 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: that's all you should change | 10:13 |
| soundray | zoidberg_: the medibuntu repository contains a version 2 which is in beta. I don't know whether that supports video, but it's probably worth having a look | 10:14 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: changing the value won't change the theme though which is what i want to do | 10:15 |
| zoidberg_ | soundray, how do i uninstall the old version....the one i have installed right now | 10:15 |
| miniux | zoidberg_,soundray: Yes the medibuntu repo version has video in it (just checked my skype) | 10:15 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: then there's something wrong with the app, it's supposed to monitor that setting according to standards. you may have to log out and back in. | 10:15 |
| zoidberg_ | miniux, how do i uninstall version 1.4 that is on my computer right now | 10:15 |
| jam | hello, me again. I have more questions :P | 10:15 |
| miniux | zoidberg_; Did you install using a deb package? | 10:16 |
| jam | does anyone have experience using VMware for virtualisation? | 10:16 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: did you check the page on gnome-look, to see what i'm trying to change? heh | 10:16 |
| soundray | miniux: thanks! zoidberg_: if you installed a ubuntu package, it should upgrade automatically. | 10:16 |
| nickrud | yup, the theme for the gnome-screensaver. Everything there is pretty standard. I've run across a couple apps with bugs, though. | 10:17 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: maybe if you seen the instructions it would make more sence | 10:17 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gnome+Lock+Dialog+Silver?content=67776 | 10:17 |
| soundray | !medibuntu | zoidberg_ | 10:17 |
| ubotu | zoidberg_: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 10:17 |
| zoidberg_ | miniux, soundray i installed using the .deb pakcage | 10:17 |
| Dimitree | how can i mount .iso files which are not ISO 9660 format ? | 10:17 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: I've got it open already, looked at it the first time. | 10:18 |
| soundray | zoidberg_: well done. If you want to remove it manually just to be sure, do 'sudo apt-get --purge remove skype' | 10:18 |
| miniux | zoidberg_:Do what ubotu said but he typed quicker ^^ | 10:18 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: ah okay, hmm so yeah i'm guessing they are talking about changing the "name" right? | 10:18 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: no, the value of the key. The name is what the app looks for, so it can find the value you set | 10:19 |
| Zoidfarb | So I just download the firefox3 beta3, does anyone know how to install flash for it? | 10:19 |
| Ayabara | on my dell, the only restricted driver in the manager is the nvidia one. if ubuntu hasn't added the intel wireless driver, does that mean I don't need it? | 10:19 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: so if i type "silver" in the value, it doesn't do anything | 10:19 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: even after rebooting | 10:20 |
| soundray | Ayabara: the intel wireless driver is not restricted | 10:20 |
| miniux | Is there anyone here running 7.10 on an ATI FireGL Mobility 5200 with any eyecandy? (Thinkpad T60p) | 10:20 |
| soundray | zoidberg_, Zoidfarb: you related? ;) | 10:20 |
| danisahne | someone can tell me what the main differences between the normal and the alernate version of the cd iso are? | 10:21 |
| Ayabara | soundray, ahh ok. | 10:21 |
| Xompire | there any channel I can go to for support? | 10:21 |
| Zoidfarb | I'm his cousin. (not really, watch Futurama) | 10:21 |
| soundray | Xompire: this one will be fine | 10:21 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: doesn't work here either | 10:21 |
| miniux | danisahne; I think the normal loads a live CD and then you install via GUI and the alternate is more text based, someone correct me I'm wrong | 10:21 |
| Xompire | alright thanks soundray | 10:21 |
| miniux | danisahne; you would use the alternate if your having troubles installing with the regular install cd | 10:22 |
| jam | Yo, anyone using VMware for Virtual machines? | 10:22 |
| soundray | !alternate | danisahne | 10:22 |
| Xompire | well, i'm a total newb to ubuntu/linux, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to install wine | 10:22 |
| ubotu | danisahne: 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 | 10:22 |
| soundray | Xompire: 'sudo apt-get install wine' | 10:22 |
| Xompire | I've been searching the web for 2 hours can't find anything that works | 10:22 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: you've done all the steps given, there's something wrong with the steps, or the integration. | 10:23 |
| Xompire | k i'll try that | 10:23 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: well, i finally got it =) thanks for making me push through haha! | 10:23 |
| soundray | !software | Xompire | 10:23 |
| ubotu | Xompire: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents | 10:23 |
| soundray | !wine | Xompire | 10:23 |
| ubotu | Xompire: 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. | 10:23 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: what was the last step you took? | 10:23 |
| Ayabara | soundray, so there is no restricted driver I should get for my "Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-PCI Card"? I'm grasping for straws... | 10:23 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i need to extract the folder in tact, rather then taking the files out of the folder | 10:23 |
| soundray | Ayabara: no, there isn't. Intel is good that way, they release free drivers for wireless. | 10:23 |
| Zoidfarb | Ayabra, you might be able to use the windows driver by using ndiswrapper | 10:23 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: ah, so it had nothing to do with gconf-editor. I'd assumed you'd followd the directions ;p | 10:24 |
| Xompire | also, is there any sort of "program files" I'm trying to install a xfire attachment to gaim | 10:24 |
| Zoidfarb | or, you may already be using a free driver | 10:24 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i learned a new command today "nautlus" which made that allot easier hah | 10:24 |
| soundray | Ayabara: don't know if there is one out for that device yet. Did you buy Ubuntu preinstalled? | 10:24 |
| Zoidfarb | Xompire, program files mostly go in /usr/bin/ | 10:24 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: so for taking up so much time :P | 10:24 |
| Xompire | alright | 10:25 |
| Zoidfarb | but any Gaim/pidgin plugins would probably go in the .purple directory | 10:25 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: I've had insomnia tonight, thanks for helping me pass the time | 10:25 |
| Zoidfarb | (purple is the library used by gaim/pidgin) | 10:25 |
| Zoidfarb | I would look up specific instructions before throwing stuff in /usr/bin/ | 10:25 |
| soundray | !enter | Zoidfarb | 10:25 |
| ubotu | Zoidfarb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 10:25 |
| pg | Hi, all - How can I set up s2disk (uswsusp package) to be the default hybernation method (and s2ram the default sleep method)? | 10:25 |
| Ayabara | soundray, no. I'm sitting in Norway, and Dell don't offer Ubuntu preinstalled here | 10:26 |
| Zoidfarb | it's almost 3 am, hardly anyone's here. | 10:26 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: actually i have a completely different issue that's probably quite a bit harder hah! | 10:26 |
| Zoidfarb | Ayabara, does your wireless not work? | 10:26 |
| Ayabara | Zoidfarb, I see my networks and connect to it, but when I try to use it I'm thrown out, and it doesn't reconnect until next boot | 10:27 |
| soundray | Zoidfarb: are you a little US-centric? | 10:27 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i can't for the life of me figure out how to increase the scroll wheel lines on my mouse, there is no tab for that in system -> preferences -> mouse | 10:27 |
| Zoidfarb | fact: it's 3 am here. fact: this channel is relatively dead (by the standards of this channel) | 10:27 |
| abhi_ | really? | 10:28 |
| miniux | fact: It is also 5am | 10:28 |
| c1|freaky | is gthere any RSS feed about ubuntu releases or release process? | 10:28 |
| Zoidfarb | Ayabara, I would try using ndiswrapper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NdisWrapper | 10:28 |
| soundray | Zoidfarb: let's not make this into a lengthy discussion. The fact is, this channel has an etiquette, and it's best to stick to that 24 hours a day. | 10:28 |
| ubuntuu | hello, i am using ubuntu feisty , how to set firewall to accept all connection . | 10:28 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: I don't think that's implemented yet. | 10:28 |
| === ubuntuu is now known as serqiu | ||
| Ginungaggap | good mornig | 10:29 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i read on some website that was vague, that it's possible to change that in X, but i don't know where | 10:29 |
| Furythor | How I do disable compiz so that it does not load when I next time start X ? | 10:29 |
| soundray | Ayabara: if you want to go down the ndiswrapper route, see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 10:29 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: did you try what i said earlier? | 10:29 |
| soundray | !wifi | Ayabara, see also here if you haven't already | 10:29 |
| ubotu | Ayabara, see also here if you haven't already: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 10:29 |
| Furythor | yeah | 10:29 |
| Ayabara | soundray, thanks. is there a reason not to go down the route? | 10:30 |
| prince_jammys | it worked? | 10:30 |
| Ginungaggap | Does anybody know what I have to do to make my system shut down, when I press the power-button on my case? | 10:30 |
| Furythor | but my session went jinxed... | 10:30 |
| prince_jammys | and now compiz autostarts? | 10:30 |
| jhaig | Is it possible to search the file list of uninstalled packages? I am looking for which package installs /usr/share/sip/qt | 10:30 |
| Furythor | oops | 10:30 |
| ^^MAg^^ | jhaig: dpkg -S /usr/share/sip/qt | 10:30 |
| miniux | jhaig; /sip/qt sounds like trolltech qtopia or something | 10:30 |
| soundray | Ayabara: well, fairly often it doesn't work so well, and you're using a Windows driver in a Linux system, which I find unsatisfying on an intellectual level ;) | 10:30 |
| Xompire | I downloaded wine from there site, i'm guess i got there source code, so I extracted it now what? | 10:31 |
| Furythor | should not read a thing in half counsious state... | 10:31 |
| prince_jammys | jhaig: you can browse with "sudo aptitude" is one way to view uninstalled packages | 10:31 |
| nickrud | gamerdude: http://linux.die.net/man/4/mouse-driver has all the possible mouse settings, they would go into /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:31 |
| Furythor | Prince_jammys I did not see what you suggested due my x session jinxed | 10:31 |
| Ayabara | soundray, hehe. I would have to agree | 10:31 |
| serqiu | !iptables | 10:31 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 10:31 |
| gamerdude | nickrud: i'll take a peek thanks | 10:31 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: I don't know for sure cuz i use KDE, but i thought "metacity --replace" would do it | 10:32 |
| Furythor | ok, well I would rather use "sure methods" | 10:32 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: or graphically you can go to Preferences->Appearance | 10:32 |
| serqiu | is ubuntu feisty by default firewalled | 10:32 |
| Xompire | I guess i should just SPM wine, it would be alot easier | 10:33 |
| soundray | Ayabara: there are a few hits on the ubuntu forums searching your wireless card model name | 10:33 |
| nickrud | serqiu: by default ubuntu doesn't use a firewall, there are no apps listening to the internet | 10:34 |
| Furythor | is compiz and visual efffects one and same thing, I quess that not | 10:34 |
| nickrud | Furythor: yes they are, as used in ubuntu | 10:34 |
| soundray | Ayabara: tuxmobil.org is another good place -- it lists installation reports for laptops | 10:34 |
| waini | thanks to all - problem solved | 10:34 |
| Furythor | ok, so when I do disable visual effects from system>preferences>appearance it does not use compiz ? | 10:35 |
| nickrud | Furythor: correct | 10:35 |
| Furythor | ok | 10:35 |
| Furythor | since I belive that it prevents running of some games... | 10:35 |
| nickrud | Furythor: it most certainly does :) | 10:36 |
| Ayabara | soundray, thanks for digging, I'll look into it | 10:36 |
| Xompire | How much does virtualbox bottleneck you system? | 10:36 |
| Webdevotion | Hey guys, having a problem with using 'ping www.google.com' on my ubuntu server 7.10 | 10:36 |
| soundray | Ayabara: good luck | 10:36 |
| Webdevotion | it returns "unknown host" | 10:36 |
| Furythor | anyways, really really twinky question, since I do have external screen connector in computer, could it be used to "clone" stream out and record it ? | 10:36 |
| soundray | Webdevotion: can you ping 66.102.9.147 ? | 10:37 |
| nickrud | Webdevotion: ping 208.67.216.231 | 10:37 |
| Webdevotion | yes i can | 10:37 |
| Webdevotion | guess problem with dns | 10:37 |
| Furythor | Is it possible to install wine elsewhere than in home directory ? | 10:37 |
| Webdevotion | is it possible that it depends on my router? | 10:38 |
| soundray | Webdevotion: yes | 10:38 |
| nickrud | Webdevotion: what's in /etc/resolv.conf ? | 10:38 |
| Webdevotion | nameserver 192.168.0.1 | 10:38 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: the only wine stuff in your home dir is config files and your fake "C:" drive -- you set up your drives anywhere want though | 10:38 |
| Furythor | so, how I do that ? | 10:39 |
| nickrud | Webdevotion: try changing it to 208.67.222.222 , (opendns) as a test | 10:39 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: in wine configuration -> drives i think | 10:39 |
| Furythor | ok | 10:39 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: you tell it where you want the fake drives to be | 10:39 |
| In-Sane | Hi all, I miss the channel :))) | 10:39 |
| nickrud | oh, laptop battery is dieing. Gotta go | 10:39 |
| Webdevotion | i tried that today (also 4.2.2.2) and am using that dns know also in my router | 10:39 |
| Furythor | ok | 10:40 |
| Webdevotion | windows and osx boxes work fine | 10:40 |
| Webdevotion | I will try again | 10:40 |

| Pascal_1 | does this bug is still present today | 10:40 |
| Pascal_1 | is there a way to correct it ? | 10:40 |
| Webdevotion | nickrud: tried it ( just wrote the changes and tried to ping google again ) | 10:41 |
| Webdevotion | to no avail | 10:41 |

| Webdevotion | can't use name resolving on my ubuntu server ( as in ping www.google.com return unknown host, ping <ipaddress> does work ) | 10:43 |
| soundray | Webdevotion: I don't think you're asking the right channel, as the problem seems to be your router. | 10:43 |
| prince_jammys | Furythor: i've never moved my c drive though - if you try that you'll have to move all the stuff in ~/.drivec or make a symlink | 10:43 |
| threefcata | hi, i'm trying to compile pidgin, but ./configure gave me this: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 10:43 |
| prince_jammys | symlink might be a good idea | 10:43 |
| Webdevotion | soundray: any tips for me than? | 10:43 |
| Webdevotion | as were to look? vendor foruM? | 10:43 |
| soundray | Webdevotion: good idea | 10:43 |
| Webdevotion | tnx | 10:43 |
| Webdevotion | have a nice day | 10:44 |
| soundray | threefcata: why not install from ubuntu repositories? | 10:44 |

| MenZa | m4steR: imagemagick is in the repos. Why bother compiling it? | 10:46 |
| Sp4rKy | how can i force update-initramfs to add a module located in /lib/modules/mykernel/ubuntu/... in addition of all the module added by the MODULES=most configuration ? | 10:47 |
| m4steR | MenZa, to learn =) | 10:47 |
| m4steR | and because in the repositories is old | 10:47 |
| prince_jammys | m4steR: is that lib installed? | 10:48 |
| soundray | Sp4rKy: have a look at /etc/initramfs-tools/modules | 10:48 |
| m4steR | i have just compiled it, not other | 10:48 |
| russo | hi guys, i can't get my cdroms to run at 32bit and dma... any suggestions? | 10:48 |

| M-Nagato | m4steR, so i'm guessing you didn't make install (i think there's a better way to do it in ubuntu but this is the one i know) it or anything? | 10:49 |
| Sp4rKy | soundray: of course, but the module isn't added | 10:50 |

| prince_jammys | m4steR: i would guess... but i dunno | 10:50 |
| M-Nagato | ah | 10:50 |
| prince_jammys | m4steR: check if you have it | 10:50 |
| Sp4rKy | soundray: since it's an ubuntu module, should I add smthg special in the module file ? or just the module name like othr modules ? | 10:50 |
| m4steR | prince_jammys, what? | 10:50 |
| prince_jammys | m4steR: the lib | 10:51 |
| soundray | Sp4rKy: have you checked that a) the initrd is really updated in the right place, b) that the initrd line in menu.lst points to it? | 10:51 |
| soundray | Sp4rKy: just the model name | 10:51 |
| soundray | *module | 10:51 |
| Sp4rKy | soundray: yes, but the module isn't added | 10:51 |
| soundray | Sp4rKy: then I don't know, sorry | 10:52 |

| O987987 | what is a good dynamic dns client updater for ubuntu? | 11:08 |
| djmaxmalta | hmmm..... that should be a compix problem | 11:08 |
| gamerdude | something must have happened to java/flash after the update today | 11:08 |
| threefcata | after make install, can i delete the source code directory? | 11:08 |
| demon981 | this happens only on nvidia graphics cards | 11:08 |
| djmaxmalta | where are the ubuntu guys that should be here helping us? | 11:09 |
| gamerdude | djmaxmalta: it's volunteer only, heeh these guys don't have to help :) | 11:09 |

| demon981 | djmalta: install the flash plugin from their site | 11:11 |
| djmaxmalta | nooo on windows nooooo | 11:11 |
| rorUnni | mhm, i haven't rebooted since the kernel update, but youtube is working, collegehumour not | 11:11 |
| gamerdude | yeah this kernel update had to have messed up java/flash - seems everyone is having issues | 11:12 |
| djmaxmalta | on linux i don't know i just install 6.06 on the p3 i am on now | 11:12 |
| djmaxmalta | and the screem is a 19 | 11:12 |
| gamerdude | rorUnni: that's odd because i can't even watch youtube now heh | 11:13 |
| _Lucretia_ | got the player working | 11:13 |
| djmaxmalta | and the recomended/best resol on it is 1280 x1024x32 (i can go on 16bit at that resol) but ubuntu gets up on 1024 x768x32 | 11:13 |
| Leechzilla | I updated too and my flash seems fine | 11:13 |
| gamerdude | leechzilla: so you got the kernel update today? | 11:13 |
| Leechzilla | gamerdude: yes | 11:14 |
| gamerdude | leechzilla: have you tried watching youtube? | 11:14 |
| M-Nagato | djmaxmalta, edit the screen section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:14 |
| Leechzilla | gamerdude: Yes, no problems here | 11:14 |
| Zachera | ONE ONE SEVEN NINE | 11:14 |

| compwiz18 | did anyone's sound card stop working after today's update? | 11:15 |
| djmaxmalta | i dont have permission to save it | 11:15 |
| M-Nagato | then edit it as root | 11:15 |
| djmaxmalta | and the resolution and the depths where all there | 11:15 |
| gnarlyc | I would try reinstalling flash in synaptic if you are having issues. Not a bad start. | 11:15 |
| Leechzilla | I had problem with WiFi after updating though. It didn't find my SSID so I had to manually type it in like I'm connecting to a "hidden" network | 11:15 |
| * FiveSheetsOfAcid is away: Mensaessen essen | 11:15 | |
| gamerdude | hmmm i wonder what they did O.O | 11:15 |
| djmaxmalta | how comes the cmedia sound cards are not working? | 11:15 |
| gamerdude | stop breaking my ubuntu devs ! heeh | 11:16 |
| giovanni_h | hi guys | 11:18 |
| gnarlyc | Hello. | 11:18 |
| giovanni_h | which kernel should I use? the -386 or the -generic? I have a pentium IV | 11:18 |
| xompire | why won't it recognize my 8800GT | 11:18 |
| gamerdude | doesnt really matter i don't givanni | 11:19 |
| dax_roc | Morning all | 11:19 |
| jgiorgi | ok im an idiot, i tried and made it worse, gnome is messed up i need to reinstall it but i cant figure out how and i tried installing kde but now im just running gnome with a bunch of kde applications i cant figure out how to remove, please tell me how to remove all this kde crap and reinstall gnome | 11:19 |
| gnarlyc | for kde...remove everything that starts w/ a K and is discribed as a KDE app | 11:19 |
| gnarlyc | good luck | 11:19 |
| jgiorgi | i installed all through terminal, y wont it remove all there too? | 11:20 |
| gnarlyc | it will but you have to find them all | 11:20 |
| dax_roc | any one know a solution to boot hanging on "ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:05:01.[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 | 11:20 |
| gnarlyc | i recommend synaptic | 11:20 |
| giovanni_h | gamerdude: I think there is a difference | 11:20 |
| jgiorgi | i installed all at once with command sudo apt-get install kde | 11:20 |
| Anarchist | Hi. what's port exactly Bittorennt client using? i need to set the port in my router. | 11:21 |
| boss | how do i install .rpm and .dmg setup files and let me how to convert them into debian | 11:21 |
| xompire | is 7.10 64 bit? | 11:21 |
| gnarlyc | i know but all the apps are KDE dependencies ish and are not removed with it | 11:21 |
| gamerdude | givanni_h: you might see a minimal performance difference, but not enough to write home about | 11:21 |
| dax_roc | boss: dmg are for a mac | 11:21 |
| jgiorgi | ubuntu 7.1 has 64 and 32 bit versions | 11:21 |
| erUSUL | Anarchist: see the configuration of your client ... standar is 6881 iirc | 11:21 |
| boss | dax_roc: what abt .rpm?? | 11:22 |
| O987987 | what is a good dynamic dns client updater for ubuntu? | 11:22 |
| erUSUL | !rpm | 11:22 |
| 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) | 11:22 |
| giovanni_h | have you had any issues with nfs recently? | 11:22 |
| dax_roc | boss why do you want to install rpm ? | 11:22 |
| gamerdude | nfs? | 11:22 |
| giovanni_h | network file system gamerdude | 11:22 |
| Slart | O987987: check the dyndns site.. they have a list of clients | 11:22 |
| soundray | O987987: what was wrong with my earlier answer | 11:22 |
| gnarlyc | I was wondering is Alien worked well myself. I haven't tried it. I do my best to find .deb packages. | 11:23 |
| jgiorgi | how do i reinstall a messed up gnome | 11:23 |
| Anarchist | erUSUL: i dont see any other else tab. unless the "download "upload' "event" tab. | 11:23 |
| boss | i just want to know how to convert .rpm to .deb | 11:23 |
| gamerdude | giovani_h: nopers | 11:23 |
| Slart | !alien | gnarlyc | 11:23 |
| ubotu | gnarlyc: 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) | 11:23 |
| gamerdude | giovani_h: but i have experienced issues with flash/java since the kernel update today - i can't watch any video's online | 11:23 |
| Adys | Hello, Im trying to remove firefox 2.0.0.12 (since Im using swiftweasel2 and ff3), but it tells me its going to remove gnome-user-guide, ubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-docs and yelp - is it safe to remove it anyway? | 11:24 |
| dax_roc | boss: first check to see if there is an exsisting version via synaptic , then if not get the source and build ( not recommended ) | 11:24 |
| erUSUL | Anarchist: netstat -putan | grep clientname and see in what ports it has status LISTEN | 11:24 |
| Slart | gamerdude: youtube doesn't work for you? | 11:24 |
| djmaxmalta | bk | 11:24 |
| gamerdude | slart: nope none of them do | 11:24 |
| DarK_MaN | flash player | 11:25 |
| DarK_MaN | install | 11:25 |
| boss | i know there is some procedure to convert..does any one know it?? | 11:25 |
| DarK_MaN | :D | 11:25 |
| Slart | gamerdude: hmm.. odd.. works for me on ubuntu 7.10, 64 bit | 11:25 |
| Slart | gamerdude: there was a flash update a day or two ago.. sure it wasn't that one that killed your flash? | 11:25 |
| gamerdude | 64-bit here as well - but i've talked to a few others that are having similar issues as me | 11:25 |
| * dax_roc cries hardy broke my usplash :| | 11:25 | |
| jimcooncat | I need an indepth troubleshooting guide to repositories, can someone send me a link? | 11:25 |
| Slart | boss: I think you a word there | 11:25 |
| gamerdude | slart: well i say it was the kernel update, because i was completely up to date yesterday and was able to watch video's just fine - now after the kernel update like 15min ago i can't watch them | 11:26 |
| Slart | boss: or you are still talking about rpm to deb? =) | 11:26 |
| * erUSUL thinks that dax_roc should spect things to broke on a release that it is not even beta | 11:26 | |
| jgiorgi | ubuntu 32 bit has a flash bug that wont be fixed till the end of time go to the forums theres a fix in there somewhere, i downloaded it before just hard to find | 11:26 |
| gnarlyc | I did not get a kernel update, what are you using now? | 11:26 |
| erUSUL | jgiorgi: the bug is fixed now | 11:27 |
| erUSUL | !brokenflash | jgiorgi | 11:27 |
| ubotu | jgiorgi: 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 » | 11:27 |
| Slart | gnarlyc: there was a kernel update for the vmsplice but | 11:27 |
| boss | Slart: i have got files which are in .rpm form..so i need it | 11:27 |
| Slart | scratch that but | 11:27 |
| * dax_roc knows this but hopes for the best , box was way too unstable / unusable on gutsy :O | 11:27 | |
| gnarlyc | ok | 11:27 |
| Anarchist | erUSUL: it appear this -> (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) | 11:27 |
| Anarchist | 11:27 | |
| jgiorgi | they finally fixed it??? hell must have just froze over lol | 11:27 |
| boss | i think no1 knows it | 11:28 |
| Slart | boss: well.. alien is said to be dangerous.. but it's the only one I know of | 11:28 |
| xompire | is the standard personal computer 64bit or only the 64bit amd and intel? | 11:28 |
| Slart | xompire: the regular one is 32-bit | 11:28 |
| erUSUL | Anarchist: what is your clientname? what bt client are you using? | 11:28 |
| xompire | oh snap | 11:28 |
| Anarchist | erUSUL: BitTorrent | 11:28 |
| dax_roc | boss what are you trying to install , ( not that they dont know it just prob they dont care :P ) | 11:28 |
| gamerdude | xompire: 64-bit is becoming standard, but when you go to buy a PC you can still choose 32-bit or 64-bit | 11:28 |
| Slart | boss: I would think that compiling from source would be better than installing a rpm | 11:28 |
| Solmaze-Laptop | Anyone know if theres a fix for the intel 965 driver bug? | 11:28 |
| israel | hi | 11:29 |

| xompire | that's lame, cedega isn't free | 11:48 |
| erUSUL | xompire: wine is | 11:48 |
| [chr0n0s] | cedega is free from svn/cvs i think | 11:48 |
| Jocke1 | When having 15+ tabs open in Firefox, CPU utilization very often goes to 100% and slows the system. Would it be easy to fix the issue or should I try another browser? If so, which browser would you recommend? | 11:48 |
| psicobra | xompire, i used to pay for cedega and it wasn't worth the money so i gave up on it and i thought i would give wine a try and belive it or not it plays counter strike source no problems | 11:49 |
| [chr0n0s] | Jocke1, use firefox 3.0 beta | 11:49 |
| roath | soundray: the computer doesn't freeze as far as i notice, it looks more like ubuntu cant show itself correctly on my computer, since the loading screen before the LIVE starts shows for a split second, but horribly distorted | 11:49 |

| juckum | cake! | 11:50 |
| Jocke1 | [chr0n0s]: You think that one doesn't have the same issue? Maybe I should try it out. | 11:50 |
| popey | Ayabara: gconf-editor then look in system/networking/wireless | 11:50 |
| [chr0n0s] | Jocke1, actually i never had any problems with 2.0.0.12 too, but 3.0 is faster, i tried it few days back | 11:50 |
| popey | Ayabara: you can remove a network and then rescan for networks | 11:50 |
| popey | Jocke1: it is faster but less stable | 11:51 |
| faemir | Can someone tell me how I can recover data off an ntfs harddrivE? | 11:51 |
| Jocke1 | [chr0n0s]: ok thx I'll take a look at it | 11:51 |
| roath | will the alternate install CD also install the desktop, just want to make sure that i dont just end up with the terminal | 11:51 |
| popey | !ntfs | faemir | 11:51 |
| ubotu | faemir: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see /msg ubotu NTFS-3g or /msg ubotu FUSE | 11:51 |
| popey | roath: yes | 11:51 |
| roath | ok, thanks | 11:51 |
| gnarlyc | faemir: are you on gutsy? if so then it is built in | 11:51 |
| phlax | hi -can anyone tell what the difference between the -rt kernels and the -lowlatency ones? | 11:51 |
| faemir | gnarlyc, I'm in the gutsy livecd trying to rescue it, but I can't mount it or fsck it =[ | 11:52 |
| roath | but how can i be sure that it will work when it wont work with the Live CD | 11:52 |
| popey | roath: what didn't work with the live cd? | 11:52 |
| gnarlyc | faemir: are you repairing ntfs part or ubuntu partition? | 11:53 |
| faemir | gnarlyc, ntfs | 11:53 |
| Gyde | how do I unlock a file which is F_SETLK locked? there is no process running | 11:53 |
| roath | right after the boot screen, when its supposed to show the loading screen and launch the Live CD, it shows for a split second a colorfull line, what to me looks like a distorted "loading screen" or something, its only shown very shortly, so im not sure, but nothing happens past that | 11:53 |
| gnarlyc | faemir: if that's the case then maybe the ntfs is too far gone to be read? | 11:53 |
| faemir | gnarlyc, I truely hope not =[ | 11:54 |
| Leechzilla | Is it okay if I resize my ext3 partition (make it bigger) using the Live CD? I don't have a blank CD lying around for gparted | 11:54 |
| roath | the CD is "working" even while nothing is happening on screen, so i think its something with my video card not being supported or something | 11:54 |
| roath | but then again, in a total noob to linux, so dont listen to what i think :P | 11:55 |
| dgjones | roath, by any chance is it a laptop? I have a Toshiba laptop that does that sort of thing, livecd crashes & hangs every time, I used the alternate cd to install and it works perfectly - this was down to the video card | 11:55 |
| xompire | Hm, it says "this installer requires admin access" thought I was already | 11:55 |
| roath | nope, stationary | 11:55 |
| gnarlyc | sorry roath, not paying attention, are you trying to install 64bit gutsy? | 11:55 |
| roath | gutsy? you mean the newest ubuntu? | 11:55 |
| gnarlyc | yes roath | 11:55 |
| boemboem | ppl, i don't get my suspend working please help me | 11:56 |
| roath | yeah, trying to install, but currently at school since i have no way to ask for help at home (since it wont install) | 11:56 |
| boemboem | :) | 11:56 |
| gnarlyc | what processor are you using roath? | 11:56 |
| dgjones | roath, from my own experiences, that does sound like a graphics problem, i would expect it to install from the alternate cd as that seems to have better detection & configuration - what is your video card? | 11:57 |
| roath | dont remember the actual name, but its 64bit dualcore AMD, 3000Mhz (roughly, cant remember if AMD adds a + or something at the end) | 11:57 |
| roath | Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS | 11:57 |
| gnarlyc | ok roath i would then take dgjones ' advice | 11:57 |
| roath | PSI Express version | 11:57 |
| roath | ok, but there is no way to be sure that it will work with that either, correct? | 11:58 |
| dgjones | roath, i think i have seen some people with problems with the 8800 nvidia though, might be a good idea to ask in here if it does work first | 11:58 |
| roath | well, thats what im doing :P | 11:58 |
| xompire | I can't install the 8800GT driver atm | 11:58 |
| xompire | keeps saying can't open (driver name) | 11:59 |
| [chr0n0s] | ati x3780 x2 | 11:59 |
| gnarlyc | roath, if everything is backed up on that pc i'd give it a try the way dgjones said, or you can check out the ubuntu forums real quick | 11:59 |
| Ayabara_ | when I started ubuntu it said that the gnome settings manager have crashed. before the reboot I had enabled backports. could that be the cause? what do I do? | 11:59 |
| dgjones | roath, wouldn't want to say it will work for you, when i thought there were problems that took some getting round | 11:59 |
| cipher_ | btw check nzone.com for the latest beta drivers if you have problems with the current ones. | 11:59 |
| roath | i have two partitions on my computer, one being my backup/old system and the other is where i want to install ubuntu, it wont mess with the other partition, right? | 12:00 |
| gnarlyc | no roath, in the worst case senario you can install 32 bit to get the bootloader working, if that attempt messes up | 12:01 |
| gnarlyc | the other partition will not be affected if you don't tell it to, roath | 12:01 |
| roath | well, the 32bit gives tons of errors on the boot screen | 12:01 |
| roath | something about the kernel | 12:01 |
| roath | ok | 12:02 |
| emad | hello , i need a simulation program for electronics engineering | 12:02 |
| xompire | is there any tool that will automatically open .run files? | 12:03 |

| ikonia | ronald_: all hard disks should be /dev/sd* now | 12:32 |

| Nikolas| | i installed it with sudo apt-get install apache2 | 12:33 |

| maaike | Dr_Willis: I have another laptop but that one uses windows and there the same printer is installed | 12:43 |
| ntemis | no! | 12:43 |
| headb0y | Faust-C: what should i do now? | 12:43 |
| blackworld | pls help i wanna install ubuntu | 12:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | blackworld: see minimal | 12:43 |
| ntemis | i want them to go into ubuntu recyclebin | 12:43 |
| ntemis | but they dont | 12:43 |
| Faust-C | headb0y, unplug try again | 12:43 |
| ntemis | is it a bug? | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, theres normally an icon in the menus for seting up a printer. Takes me about 20 sec to configure my network printer. I just point it to the shared printer. and select the right driver | 12:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis: no not a bug, you are dealing with a partition from another os. | 12:44 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, system -> admin -> printing | 12:44 |
| ntemis | yes i have a hidden folder .trash-demetris | 12:44 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: check if a Trash: folder was created in your Win partition | 12:45 |
| ntemis | now what? | 12:45 |
| Nikolas| | thanks | 12:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis: Look inside | 12:45 |
| Nikolas| | but | 12:45 |
| ntemis | i have one | 12:45 |
| maaike | Dr_Willis: I looked at that but then the only option is to add a new printer and when I press that I have to choose from a list of several different kind of connections | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, add new printer -> windows printer by samba. | 12:45 |
| Nikolas| | when i type http://localhost on my browser it opens a save dialog | 12:45 |
| Arelis | Hello, people. Right now i have a bald (done nothing with it) install of Ubuntu. I decided that maybe the reason why everything hoses all the time is because i do something wrong during post-install. But i need good documentation to help me do a good post-install. But where can i find that? | 12:45 |
| ntemis | i want all inside DELETED! | 12:45 |
| opteroN | when are ubuntu new versions released is it not every 6 months or something to that extent ? | 12:45 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, if windows is seeing the thing.. its shared by samba/smb.. Other ways may work also. | 12:45 |
| ntemis | I DONT USE WINDOWS!!! | 12:45 |
| ntemis | JUST THIS NTFS DISK | 12:46 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: do they appear in your normal trash? i think they should | 12:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis: Lose the caps and the attitude | 12:46 |

| ntemis | am pissed off with windows | 12:46 |
| joequincy | I just installed from the alternate CD, and I appear to have a working installation except for one problem.... I have no output on my monitor. I suspect that the installation process set the default display size to 1280x1024. How can I change this value? | 12:46 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: that's a normal emotion | 12:46 |
| ntemis | sorryy | 12:46 |
| maaike | Dr_Willis: but when I choose that option and scan for printers, it doesn't find anything | 12:46 |
| === amir__ is now known as lousygarua_ | ||

| ntemis | :) | 12:46 |
| ntemis | more relaxed now | 12:47 |
| Nikolas| | :-( | 12:47 |
| ntemis | to see others suffer like me | 12:47 |
| jimcooncat | Nikolas|: maybe it's the script you loaded? I wouldn't know | 12:47 |
| Nikolas| | it's | 12:47 |
| Nikolas| | index.php | 12:47 |
| ntemis | so now | 12:47 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, no idea there.. it just scanned my network and saw my shared printer. You could find the printers name as seen by the window machines and enter the url for it manually - in my case its smb://MSHOME/MYTHBOX/HP_LaserJet_6L | 12:47 |
| Nikolas| | btw | 12:47 |
| Nikolas| | where is the apache2's htdocs folder? | 12:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joequincy: after it loads use F2 then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa mode 1024 use tab to accept all other defaults to get into basic gui | 12:48 |

| ntemis | is that possible? | 12:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | no | 12:48 |
| maaike | Dr_Willis: okay, I'm trying that now, but do I just give the printer name or do I type in printserverIP/printername? | 12:48 |
| jimcooncat | Nikolas|: I believe they don't use htdocs anymore, they changed it to /var/www | 12:48 |
| ntemis | no? | 12:48 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: can't you just delete it with rm? | 12:48 |
| ntemis | rm? | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, my example showed the Workgroup/Machinename/Printername | 12:49 |
| ntemis | remove | 12:49 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: yes | 12:49 |
| ntemis | tell me how | 12:49 |
| Dr_Willis | maaike, i also noticed that the thing saw my printer under the 'ipp://' type address.. since its on a cups server. | 12:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | prince_jammys: even if he deletes it every time he dektes a file on that drive it will come back | 12:49 |
| t|zz | hi everybody! does ubuntu use sysvinit per default or does it use something like initng, einit? it just boots so fast, i wonder why... | 12:49 |

| maaike | Dr_Willis: I'll be right back, I just printed a testpage, let me see if it came out | 12:50 |
| t|zz | Dr_Willis: so this is used by default for 7.10? | 12:50 |

| tp__ | yes | 12:52 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: yes sir | 12:52 |
| ntemis | or it put it somewhere else? | 12:52 |
| tp__ | I actually used it to get my soundcard working a few days ago | 12:52 |
| prince_jammys | ntemis: they went bye-bye | 12:52 |
| tp__ | I have an ICH8 family chipset wich needed some tweaking, and I got it working. | 12:52 |

| ntemis | at least i do | 12:53 |
| headb0y | can anyone help me with mounting my external usb hard disk which is ntfs formatted? | 12:53 |
| bazhang | ntemis: bad idea | 12:53 |
| tp__ | I install the sysinfo package and it sees the card, but Ubuntu recognizes no card at all | 12:53 |
| ntemis | 7600gs here | 12:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis: Please do not suggest envy in here. | 12:53 |
| prince_jammys | envy no good | 12:53 |
| ntemis | why ppl | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, you may want to install/run (with sudo) the ntfs-config tool. | 12:53 |
| ntemis | it works fine | 12:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !worksforme | ntemis | 12:53 |
| ubotu | ntemis: 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/ | 12:53 |
| tp__ | It trashes the system when Ubuntu is upgraded | 12:53 |
| prince_jammys | envy can cause trouble | 12:54 |
| StLemur | OK. I've determined that the packages which are making my mouse go funny are probably kdelibs-data (4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3) and kdelibs4c2a (4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.3), which I upgraded from 3.2 last night. How do I downgrade to 3.2 again? | 12:54 |
| bazhang | ntemis: will break your system and no support here after it happens | 12:54 |
| tp__ | any help for my sound problem? | 12:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !downgrade | 12:54 |
| ubotu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 12:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tp__: WHat was the problem.. sorry if I missed it | 12:54 |
| ntemis | didnt break anything here ?:( | 12:54 |
| StLemur | I'm not downgrading Ubuntu, just two packages. | 12:54 |
| ntemis | but if you say so | 12:54 |
| bazhang | ntemis: just wait | 12:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis: See works for me above | 12:55 |
| tp__ | I installed the also drivers for ICH8 chipset intel sound card 2 days ago and it worked fine | 12:55 |
| ntemis | i will just use it only for me | 12:55 |
| Nikolas| | ntemis what is envy and how do i get it? | 12:55 |
| tp__ | then this morning the updated installed a few packages, required reboot, and now no sound card is recognized at all | 12:55 |
| reallyjoel | I\m using the Live CD right now.. And I need to access and delete some files on an NTFS partition. I\ve gotten access, but not permission to delete bc the entire disk is read only. What can I do about this? | 12:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis: and when you upgrade.. surprise | 12:55 |
| prince_jammys | Nikolas|: dubious package for installing nvidia drivers, not recommended | 12:55 |
| tp__ | updater* | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Nikolas|, envy is a bad thing to use.. You did try install the nvidia drivers with the restricted-manager tool? | 12:55 |
| gold44 | anyone know if there will be a computer store that can replace compusa? | 12:56 |
| ntemis | but he will not get the latest driver if he do | 12:56 |
| Nikolas| | no | 12:56 |

| bazhang | gold44: not the channel for that | 12:56 |
| Nikolas| | I am a newb that's why i ask noob questions | 12:56 |
| jimcooncat | reallyjoel: theory is you'd have to unmount the disk and mount it again as read-write; I'm not sure exactly how though | 12:56 |
| ntemis | envy is here nicola | 12:56 |
| ntemis | http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 12:56 |
| Nikolas| | if it was windows i would be a pro :) | 12:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tp__: if you installed the drivers for that manually then you did a kernel update, you willmost likely need to install them again | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, thats a different setting to make icons appear there.. Look in the media:// or system:// dirs | 12:56 |
| headb0y | reallyjoel: ntfs-3g | 12:56 |

| Nikolas| | so how do i install an NVIDIA geforce 8500+ XFX driver? | 12:57 |
| ntemis | but make sure you unist.. the restricted before you go with envy | 12:57 |
| bazhang | ntemis can link to envy without any repercussions? | 12:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tp__: lspci or lshw dont show it? | 12:57 |
| headb0y | Dr_Willis: what program is used to handle such special handlers? | 12:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Nikki85, i normally just run the 'restricted-manager' tool and let it do it. But i guess you are saying the one in restricted-manager is not working.. | 12:57 |

| headb0y | Dr_Willis: the computer:// path doesnt show up any of my desired devices and system:// and media:// don't work for me | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | graww, perhaps ps ax | grep ssh ? | 13:00 |
| In-Sane | prince_jammys: I see. let me check please | 13:00 |
| tp__ | wait...nm...found the audio controller | 13:00 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, its computer:/// | 13:00 |

| Dr_Willis | headb0y, i got there by iusing the Places -> computer menu item at the top | 13:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lunar_Lamp: Do you have untrusted users using shell accounts on your system? | 13:00 |

| tp__ | hmmmmm.....but no sound card is shown in prefrences > sound | 13:00 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Jack_Sparrow, no. | 13:01 |
| headb0y | Dr_Willis: the computer item doesnt show my ntfs drive | 13:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joequincy: great, but that is only basic video modem we can do better. | 13:01 |
| prince_jammys | Anarchist: I believe in gnome there is Preferences(or Administration)->Network | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, you may need to mount it manually perhaps. its showing mine. Could check in /media/ also | 13:01 |
| headb0y | Dr_Willis: is it maybe because the ntfs partition has no label? | 13:01 |
| Nikolas| | fevel: i am confused (i will say again i am a ubuntu newb) what's gnome search panel and how do i get to it? | 13:01 |
| Anarchist | prince_jammys: let me check it.. thx | 13:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lunar_Lamp: then you have nothing to worry about | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, normally it used the name 'disk' if it has no label. | 13:01 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, i always set Labels for mine. :) | 13:01 |
| fevel | Nikolas|: its the panel, not the "search panel" | 13:02 |
| headb0y | Dr_Willis: its also not in /media because i already looked there. besides there is no volume or drive showing up with no label (disk label) | 13:02 |
| Nikolas| | and where is it? | 13:02 |
| Nikolas| | :p | 13:02 |
| fevel | Nikolas|: I said search the panel...its the equivalent to the windows start menu | 13:02 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, if its a removeabel disk. You may want to try unpluging it and plugging it back in | 13:02 |
| Nikolas| | sry | 13:02 |
| === jam is now known as jameg | ||
| headb0y | Dr_Willis: i tried that already | 13:02 |
| protocol1 | If I delete the swap and root partition will grub go with it? | 13:02 |
| Lunar_Lamp | Jack_Sparrow, yes I do. People could exploit bugs in other software on my servers to gain local access etc - and then use that to gain root. I know it's not simple/likely - but I was just asking if the recent updates applied patches for the bug. | 13:02 |
| fevel | Nikolas|: got it? | 13:02 |
| Nikolas| | yep | 13:02 |
| Nikolas| | I just didn't got where is it | 13:03 |
| fevel | Nikolas|: now you gotta search, since I dont use gnome I dont know where it is...its probably in administration or preferences | 13:03 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, i would double check the fstab file - see if it has an entry for the drive. and if it does use the proper 'mount /media/whatever' command to mount it. You may want to read up on mounting of disks under linux. Its not real complex. but all this 'auto mounting' stuff just seems a bit flakey at times. | 13:04 |
| s0u][ight | hello does someone know a good howto for the bcm4311 wireless card | 13:04 |
| fedrox | papeete | 13:04 |
| s0u][ight | i need to set it up with ndiswrapper since the bcm43XX sux | 13:04 |
| bazhang | fedrox got a question? | 13:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lunar_Lamp: I personally have not looked at the updates yet. | 13:04 |
| fevel | s0u][ight: do you really need it...doesnt restricted drivers take cara of that also/ | 13:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !broadcom | 13:04 |
| ubotu | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx | 13:04 |
| Dr_Willis | headb0y, my example fstab entry for my NTFS disk is /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 | 13:04 |
| s0u][ight | i allready got that | 13:05 |
| reallyjoel | How can I change permissions on a disk(ntfs partition) via the command line? | 13:05 |
| Nikolas| | fevel: i found it | 13:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lunar_Lamp: google would be where I would go to try and find out. | 13:05 |
| bazhang | Lunar_Lamp: did you just get the headers update? | 13:05 |
| fevel | Nikolas|: =) | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, you remount it with the proper options is the proper way. | 13:05 |
| Nikolas| | then? :D | 13:05 |
| Lunar_Lamp | bazhang, headers, source and kernel | 13:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm.. Im not even using ntfs-3g. odd. | 13:05 |
| five | Anyone know what I need to install for 32-bit compatibility on a 64-bit gutsy? | 13:06 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: normally this is done in the fstab file | 13:06 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: Proper options? I have remounted but its always readonly | 13:06 |
| bazhang | Lunar_Lamp: within the last 24 hours? | 13:06 |
| five | I thought it might be linux32, but it doesn't seem to be. | 13:06 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, ntfs is read only, ntfs-3g is r/w - May be your issue | 13:06 |
| reallyjoel | prince_jammys: is that a textfile? | 13:06 |
| Lunar_Lamp | bazhang, yes | 13:06 |
| five | I need to run a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit box. | 13:06 |
| HEP85 | five: ia32-libs | 13:06 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: no i have ntfs3g | 13:07 |
| five | HEP85: Thanks :-) | 13:07 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: it's a config file that is readable and editable -- in that sense, its a text file located at /etc/fstab. the number after "umask" alters the permissions | 13:07 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, IF windows did not properly unmount the windows disk, or its some how unclean. it will also get mounted read only for saftey reasons | 13:07 |
| reallyjoel | prince_jammys: thanks | 13:07 |
| silvestro | hello | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | if you mount it from the terminal - it should print out an error message about that. if thats the issue | 13:08 |
| jaras | is there something like daemon tools for linux? | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | My fstab entry for ntfs --> /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | jaras | 13:08 |
| ubotu | jaras: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jaras, not really. Not much of a need. a similer thing has been around in linux for years | 13:08 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: i think the problem is that i didnt check the right box in the config tool.. the "internal" option is greyed out | 13:08 |
| bazhang | Lunar_Lamp: I am currently idling in #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-bugs to see if that was the fix | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, highly likely. :) | 13:08 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: but why would it be greyed out_ | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, no idea. Mine are not. You did run ntfs-config with sudo? | 13:09 |
| silvestro | Hello ciao | 13:09 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, could be theres no fstab entry at all for the internal disk. so its ignoring it. | 13:09 |
| === silvestro is now known as AngeloDelParadis | ||
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: no, i just ran it from the Applications-menu | 13:09 |
| tp__ | if a driver install cp'd over a .ko file and then the kernel was upgraded...would that erase it from the device list? Would installing it again fix it? | 13:09 |
| jaras | i know but i'm trying to make my brother convert to linux so i was wondering if there was a gui to mounting iso's? | 13:09 |
| tzd | i need help with my mouse settings or perhaps windows settings please? The active window is now controlled by where my mouse pointer are. | 13:10 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: what does the ntfs entry in your fstab file say? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, i alway do 'sudo ntfs-config' | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 13:10 |
| Nikolas| | Could someone explain me this and how to fix it? XAMPP is currently only availably as 32 bit application. Please use a 32 bit compatibility library for your system. | 13:10 |
| joequincy | Jack_Sparrow: it does not appear to have worked. I still have nothing on my screen (it turns off) | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | jaras, theres some tools that can automate it a little.. but ive never bothered with them. | 13:10 |
| bardyr | Nikolas|, why do you want to use xampp? | 13:11 |
| HEP85 | jaras: gmountiso for example | 13:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joequincy: When you went through that what did you pick for video card? | 13:11 |
| reallyjoel | unionfs / unionfs rw 0 0 | 13:11 |
| reallyjoel | tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0 | 13:11 |
| jaras | Dr_Willis, ok thx | 13:11 |
| Nikolas| | it's easier for me | 13:11 |
| Nikolas| | bardyr just tell me how to fix it :p | 13:11 |
| reallyjoel | prince_jammys: did you get that | 13:11 |
| joequincy | Jack_Sparrow: It's an onboard intel "card" | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | jaras, saw a artical on them on a linxu news site just this week --> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/easy-way-of-mountunmount-iso-images-in-ubuntu.html | 13:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joequincy: When you went through that what did you pick for video card? | 13:12 |
| bardyr | Nikolas|, idk, i just install apache/mysql/php with one apt-get cmd :) | 13:12 |
| headb01 | Dr_Willis: i tried it with rebooting it doesnt work | 13:12 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: there's no ntfs there | 13:12 |
| Dr_Willis | headb01, tried what? :0 its almost bedtime here for me. :) | 13:12 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: running it with sudo dosnt make any difference | 13:12 |
| jessid | Hello. How can I restart the usb services withhout restarting the pc? | 13:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | joequincy: And what I told you to select was..... VESA | 13:13 |
| reallyjoel | prince_jammys: strange, i can access the partition | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, i would wonder if ntfs-config only tweaks existing fstab entries for ntfs disks. You may want to manually add an entry to fstab for the disk | 13:13 |
| Nikolas| | bardyr | 13:13 |
| Nikolas| | i installed apache2 | 13:13 |
| Nikolas| | is it different from apache? | 13:13 |
| joequincy | Jack_Sparrow: I didn't get what you meant by that. I'll do it now. | 13:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ok | 13:13 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis, prince_jammys: remember im using Live CD.. could thast be it? | 13:13 |
| bardyr | Nikki85, apache is 1.3 apache2 is 2.x | 13:13 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: oh | 13:14 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: i see, that's | 13:14 |
| headb01 | Dr_Willis: i tried rebooting but it still wont show up | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | reallyjoel, Gee.. ya might of mentioned that earlier. :) heh heh.. | 13:14 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: i see, that's your "tmpfs" | 13:14 |
| reallyjoel | Dr_Willis: hehe, I did.. | 13:14 |
| headb01 | Dr_Willis: is it possible that a 465 gb ntfs partition with a 365 gb file on it is 2 heavy for ntfs-3g? | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | headb01, we are chatting about mounting ntfs disks with reallyjoel also. :) | 13:15 |
| reallyjoel | prince_jammys: ok.. is it possible to solve this at all? | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | headb01, i have 500gb NTFS disks used by ntfs-3g | 13:15 |
| tp__ | Jack_Sparrow: Ok, I fixed it. Apparently the orignal fix for my sound card is rather patchy. Needs to be completely reinstalled every kernel update :( | 13:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tp__: Great.. | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | my fstab entry for my ntfs disk --> for exampel to show the others --> /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 1 | 13:16 |
| prince_jammys | reallyjoel: i really don't have any experience mounting partitions from a live cd -- is it possible? i would say yes, but i don't know how | 13:16 |
| tp__ | until Ubuntu catches up with the ICH8 chipset apparently | 13:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tp__: Well not great that you need to reinstall with every new kernel.. but at least you know how to do it | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | its bed time for me.. so night all. good luck with ntfs. | 13:16 |
| tp__ | yeah...no biggy really. Takes about 5 minutes. | 13:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tp__:I am just glad it is working | 13:17 |
| ph8 | hey guys! Is there anyway i can use the gutsy repository for just one program? I don't want to upgrade my entire distro | 13:17 |
| Nikolas| | Is there any way to run 32 bit applications to 64AMD architecture? | 13:17 |
| reallyjoel | prince_jammys, Dr_Willis: OK, thanks for the help! Bye | 13:17 |

| ntemis | it is at the office of my wife and i need to control it from here | 14:01 |
| ntemis | fully control | 14:02 |
| bazhang | now you need to do the sudo dpkg command kez | 14:02 |
| erUSUL | xif: quite well; is quicker than ext3 but less robust (not much) in case of power outage... | 14:02 |
| bazhang | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is the full command kez | 14:02 |
| erUSUL | xif: also you do not have to run tiem consumming fsck ;) | 14:02 |
| Kez | okies baz, doing that now... ty | 14:02 |
| xif | erUSUL: so, all in all, there's no reason not to use it it with Gutsy or later? | 14:03 |
| ntemis | not terminal i want windows control | 14:03 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: I've got all that stuff...I just can't determine which physical hard drives I need to pull out of the case | 14:03 |
| qwaz | like...is hdk the second one in line off the card etc...know what I mean? | 14:03 |
| bazhang | kez tab completion is your friend; type first three or so letters of a nickname then hit tab | 14:04 |
| tp_ | Jack_Sparrow: eek...typo in the pastebin script. it's fixed now though. | 14:04 |
| erUSUL | xif: no that i know of i keep a ext2/3 partition for separate /boot becouse i allways do that and dunno how well grub supports jfs | 14:04 |
| xif | erUSUL: OK, thanks :-) | 14:04 |
| erUSUL | !who | qwaz | 14:04 |
| ubotu | qwaz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 14:04 |
| Kez | bazhang: thanks for the tip. ok, now i selected nvidia and gave it a name (8800 gtx)... now the next screen is just some writing with an "ok" button that i cant actually click... do i just close that? | 14:04 |
| bazhang | Kez: tab to that | 14:05 |
| hfmls | hi | 14:05 |
| bazhang | Kez: and then hit enter | 14:05 |
| Kez | done, what should i put for bus identifier? | 14:05 |
| Kez | leave it as it is? | 14:05 |
| hfmls | is there any software like flash? so i can build websites in flash using ubuntu | 14:05 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: I've got all that stuff...I just can't determine which physical hard drives I need to pull out of the case | 14:06 |
| bazhang | shockwave hfmls? | 14:06 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: like...is hdk the second one in line off the card etc...know what I mean? | 14:06 |
| bazhang | Kez: that would be my guess | 14:07 |
| hfmls | .fla editor? builder ? | 14:07 |
| bazhang | hfmls: does adobe have a linux version? I seriously doubt that | 14:07 |
| Kez | use kernal defuffer interface - yes or no? | 14:07 |
| erUSUL | qwaz: yes; ide drive naming should be sequential... a is master and b slave of first ide (ide0) and so on you can check dmesg msgs to figure out the ones you have to replace | 14:08 |
| ChrisM | So, still nothing on a solution? | 14:08 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: ahh, these 4 drives are all coming off a single raid controller card | 14:08 |
| tp_ | Jack_Sparrow you there? | 14:08 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: so is the first (from left to right) master, then slave, then master then slave? | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 14:09 |
| Kez | oops... it says "use kernal framebuffer interface" not debuffer, lol... should i pick yes or no? | 14:09 |
| tp_ | Jack_Sparrow wanted to tell you that the script had a typo at that URL. It's fixed now though. | 14:09 |
| hfmls | bazhang: i don't think so...but i thought it could be a software like flsah i could use. | 14:09 |
| tp_ | so replace it if you cp'd it | 14:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | new url | 14:10 |
| bazhang | hfmls: there is gnash though no idea if that is anything more than a konq plugin | 14:10 |
| tp_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55845/ | 14:10 |
| Kez | hfmls, you can use wine to run flash | 14:10 |
| hfmls | oh, ok | 14:10 |
| hfmls | thank you | 14:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thanks, will look at it later | 14:10 |
| tp_ | chmod +x on it and run with sudo to make it smoother | 14:10 |
| Kez | bazhang: should i pick yes or no for use kernal framebuffer interface ? | 14:11 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: my guess is that it is the first and third drives in line... | 14:11 |
| erUSUL | qwaz: the card should tell you what of the two ide ports is the first one (maybe color coded) and then who is master or slave is selecteb by jumpers on the drive or cable position (the one in the middle is slave and the other one master) | 14:11 |
| ChrisM | Ummmmm. Can I access a menu.lst from 7.04 from a 7.10 Live disc? | 14:12 |
| bazhang | Kez: yes; from here-- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia | 14:12 |

| Hammer89 | anyone have any idea why emerald would cause my desktop to not be able to load? | 14:13 |
| ntemis | any ideas | 14:13 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: these are sata drives, not ide drives | 14:13 |
| Offoffoff | Hammer89: Did You make an update? | 14:14 |
| erUSUL | qwaz: sata? o.O then driver names should be sda or sdb... not hdk or hdg | 14:14 |
| Hammer89 | Offoffoff: yes | 14:14 |
| bazhang | Kez: the rest are defaults; then log out log back in, go through that process again if you get a text prompt asking you to login (once you have logged in) and the next time choose no for the framebuffer question | 14:14 |
| erUSUL | qwaz: can you post your dmesg output on paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 14:14 |
| Hammer89 | Offoffoff: not to Emerald though | 14:14 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: the entire thing or just grep'ed with 'raid'? | 14:14 |
| Nikolas| | You do not have the necessary permissions to save the file. Could someone tell me why this happens? | 14:15 |
| erUSUL | qwaz: the entire thing it is weird that sata drives got hdxx names | 14:15 |
| Offoffoff | Hammer89: It is better to delete settings of Emerald. And to start. The defaults will be restored. Everything will go fine | 14:15 |
| === ChrisM is now known as ChrisM-Boss | ||
| Hammer89 | Offoffoff: I had to uninstall it to even be able to get to the point where my desktop environment loads | 14:16 |
| qwaz | erUSUL: the individual drives have hd names, but there are two md0/md1 for each set of two | 14:16 |
| bazhang | Kez: if you get that and have to sudo dpkg again--then once you have entered no the second time to the framebuffer question then restart your computer once you are finished and you should be good to go | 14:17 |
| dgjones | Nikolas|, what file are you trying to save and where to? thats normally a sign you're editing a file outside of your /home directory which you'd need gksudo gedit as the editing command to give you root access to the file | 14:17 |
| beer | hi. where must i copy a .so file so epiphany finds it? | 14:17 |
| Offoffoff | Hammer89: See ~/.emerald. Delete it! | 14:17 |
| Hammer89 | Offoffoff: okay... I'll try that | 14:17 |
| Nikolas| | i tried to edit a file from the apache2 folder | 14:17 |
| Nikolas| | at etc folder | 14:17 |
| prince_jammys | yes? | 14:18 |
| prince_jammys | permissions problem? | 14:18 |
| Offoffoff | Hammer89: Do not be afraid - ~/.emerald will be restored | 14:18 |
| Hammer89 | Offoffoff: I know | 14:18 |
| === boris_ is now known as snipex77 | ||
| kostkon | Nikolas|, use gksudo, e.g: "gksudo gedit apache2.conf" | 14:19 |
| dgjones | Nikolas|, don't know what permisions there will be on that file, but normall i'd use "gksudo gedit /etc/filename", you'll be asked for you user password | 14:19 |
| Kez | ok, logging in and out now.... | 14:19 |
| Hammer89 | Offoffoff: is there a particular file within the ~/.Emerald folder that you'd suspect would be the cause of my problems? | 14:19 |
| bazhang | Kez: best to write down this command once you are dropped into text mode login sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 14:19 |

| beer | hi. where must i copy a .so file so epiphany finds it? | 14:22 |
| Lartza_ | beer, you need to recompile with that .so? | 14:22 |
| Lartza_ | some programs require | 14:22 |
| beer | Lartza_, no, it's a plugin (i.e. flash) | 14:22 |
| === ChrisM-Boss is now known as ChrisM | ||
| Lartza_ | ok | 14:22 |
| Lartza_ | beer, is it an translation? | 14:23 |
| ricky_clarkson | bazhang: Presumably because in the best case, asking is faster than searching. | 14:23 |
| Lartza_ | oh .so! | 14:23 |
| Quicksilva | Hi there, does anyone know an app in ubuntu I can use to convert .ogm -> .avi | 14:23 |
| beer | Lartza_, no i want to enable gnash | 14:23 |
| Lartza_ | now i understanded | 14:23 |
| === tp__ is now known as oshi | ||
| Lartza_ | i somehow thought about .po | 14:24 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, difficult to say,. I even tried to do it with FFmpeg, but it couldn't! | 14:24 |
| ricky_clarkson | Are there quieter channels where your question doesn't scroll off the screen in a few seconds? | 14:24 |
| hagabaka | beer: did you install mozilla-plugin-gnash? | 14:24 |
| Offoffoff | beer: May be it is better to find out another version of library and to make symlink? | 14:24 |
| ChrisM | Ok, guys. I am inside my menu.lst What do I do to append a new "root="? | 14:24 |
| beer | hagabaka, one moment | 14:24 |
| ChrisM | Ack, this guy on the forums didn't tell me which line to edit. :( | 14:25 |
| Quicksilva | kostkon, was just reading on forums, there seems to be an app for linux called alltoavi | 14:25 |
| bazhang | ricky_clarkson: you can make your own channel by appending a # to it | 14:25 |
| beer | hagabaka, ah now it works , i just installed gnash before! thanks! | 14:26 |
| ricky_clarkson | Amazing. | 14:26 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, I am pretty sure this app uses ffmpeg or mencoder to actually do the conversions | 14:26 |
| hagabaka | np | 14:26 |
| Quicksilva | oh i see.. :((( | 14:26 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, thus, if ffmpeg can't (from my experience), you could try mencoder. it's in the repos | 14:26 |
| Quicksilva | I just want to watch .ogm on my tv upstairs and xbox 360 adn ps3 dont support it | 14:26 |
| Lartza_ | why can't i delete folders with ftp? | 14:26 |
| bazhang | heh | 14:26 |
| Lartza_ | it says they are not empty, but they are | 14:27 |
| Quicksilva | oh, ill have a look then at mencoder | 14:27 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, ok, give it a try | 14:27 |
| Quicksilva | will let you know if it works, cheers buddy | 14:27 |
| beer | cool! :) | 14:27 |
| beer | another question, how can i enable antialiasing with compiz? | 14:27 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, you can find a gui frontend for mencoder if you like, becuase is a command line tool. | 14:27 |
| Nikolas| | could someone tell me how to install phpmyadmin? | 14:27 |
| Lartza_ | what means anti-aliasing, it's never translated? | 14:28 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, just to let you now that it runs from the terminal | 14:28 |
| Quicksilva | kostkon, ok man what would i have to install for the gui | 14:28 |
| prince_jammys | Nikolas|: i believe "sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin" | 14:28 |
| oshi | anyone else here using irssi? | 14:28 |
| Lartza_ | Nikolas|, what server? apache or lighttpd? | 14:28 |
| erUSUL | oshi: me | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | oshi, i have used | 14:29 |
| Quicksilva | kostkon, ill do a search on the forums see if i can find how to use the terminal :P | 14:29 |
| Nikolas| | apache | 14:29 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, i don't actually now a gui frontentd for mencoder. I only have used ffmpeg, and I use winff as its gui | 14:29 |
| prince_jammys | Nikolas|: if you are running the server in you local machine then you have to direct it to localhost | 14:29 |
| oshi | ok, just out of curiosity, how do I send a file with it? | 14:29 |
| kostkon | Quicksilva, ok | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | ok, then just installing package phpmyadmin would be enough | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | it configures for apache in install process | 14:29 |
| Lartza_ | i use lighttpd and needed some extra configuration | 14:29 |
| erUSUL | oshi: /dcc send file nick ?? | 14:30 |
| Lartza_ | what means anti-aliasing? | 14:30 |
| Nikolas| | it was how Lartza_ said it | 14:30 |
| Nikolas| | thanks | 14:30 |
| Lartza_ | np | 14:30 |

| orangesicle | Hi. I recently installed the Ubuntu updates, and since then I have been unable to dual boot into Windows Vista. I have been doing so with ease through GRUB for a long time now, but for some reason I am now unable to. When I select Windows Vista from the list, I get the error "Error 23: Error while parsing". From there, I must go back to the GRUB menu. My 'menu.lst' file is correctly configured from the GRUB menu. Any ideas? | 14:41 |

| Nikolas| | docs stand for? | 14:43 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: well, I have no idea what the problem is specifically, but I can suggest a few commands that will stress test your package management system: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ | 14:43 |

| Lartza_ | Nikolas|: you installed it and it doesnt work? | 14:43 |

| Hammer89 | danbhfive: I have gtkorphan open now... deleting anything that has to do with KDE... why was it bring up ubuntu-desktop as being orphaned? | 14:52 |
| bahadunn | jameg: like in firefox | 14:52 |

| Hammer89 | danbhfive: okay | 14:53 |
| bahadunn | jameg: adobe does not have 64bit flash player | 14:53 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: first thing to do with gtkorphan is to hibernate any package that you want to keep | 14:53 |
| jameg | bahadunn: will check it out. | 14:53 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: so, this should at least include ubuntu-desktop and linux-generic | 14:54 |
| jameg | bahadunn: I was wrong :P it looks as though firefox just won't display flash based objects. | 14:54 |
| Hammer89 | danbhfive: I don't see any hibernate option... though things are unchecked by default | 14:54 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: try right clicking | 14:55 |

| hs^ | what does that mean? | 14:55 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: everything is orphaned, unless its hibernated, or it is depended on a package already install/hibernated | 14:56 |
| jameg | I actually use windows for my main machine, and yes, I do visit youtube :P | 14:56 |
| hs^ | if you download it now, its fixed? | 14:56 |

| danbhfive | Hammer89: you should also hibernate anything else that you install, that you want to keep | 14:56 |
| Hammer89 | danbhfive: right... that could take me a while though :P | 14:56 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: really? have you installed a bunch of stuff? | 14:57 |
| jameg | bahadunn: I've not heard of it, but its not a big deal to me anyway - Linux is used for server work. | 14:57 |
| bazhang | ubuntu: best to run the livecd and see if it gets your hardware wireless etc easier to troubleshoot as well | 14:57 |
| Hammer89 | danbhfive: quite a bit... I'll be here all day trying to hibernate all the packages I want to keep | 14:57 |
| danbhfive | Hammer89: if that's the case, you could just go through, and mark whatever looks like kde | 14:57 |
| jameg | bahadann: for me anyway - like I said, my main pc is XP | 14:57 |
| bahadunn | jameg: you mean you use linux for server work? | 14:57 |

| Weird-Donkey | hi | 15:19 |
| L3ttuc3 | however, i had a nap today, and while system went into power-save mode (blank lcd screen, though not turned off), for some reason, my usb devices also stopped responding (keyboard and mouce). i tried to modprobe -r usbhid and that worked, but modprobe usbhid hung. also, system load average was hovering around 6. reboot stalled as well. | 15:19 |
| blink | i downloaded my addon cd here.. | 15:19 |
| L3ttuc3 | this is the second time i'm having the issue with the usb peripherals. | 15:20 |
| bazhang | blink the address you want is www.ubuntu.com accept no substitutes! ;] | 15:20 |

I read that this has to be in context with a combined mode of Intel chipsets. But i'm afraid to reboot a remote machine where i have c | 15:21 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: Seems I can't even access the hard drive in the LiveCD now. | 15:21 |
| blink | but most forum i read same it ok... | 15:21 |
| MasterShrak | L3ttuc3: powersave modes (standby, hibernate) have never had a good reputation in linux, it doesnt surprise me that you are having difficulties after resuming | 15:21 |
| blink | so i just need to download other?..can i have the address pls.. | 15:21 |
| [HU]gnanet | And an extra info i was able to see both drives, but i only could partition the first | 15:21 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: why's that? is it mounted? | 15:21 |

| laughzilla | thx roland_ i'll look into it | 15:23 |

| MasterShrak | Nutubuntu: try moving or deleting your .mozilla directory (/home/user/.mozilla) and see if it fixes problems maybe? | 15:23 |
| bazhang | not sure about myface though | 15:23 |
| roland_ | laughzilla, :) its a lil addon to ur firefox.. works like a charm for me | 15:23 |
| desowin | hi, getting strange behaviour with 8.04 alpha4, it happens since I've installed 8.04 though (it was alpha1 by that time), the problem is that after some time, the keyboards acts like backspace button was pressed | 15:23 |
| blink | i have ubuntu 7.10.. i have ubuntu gutsy gibon addon cd rev1..i really cannot use that addon cd?..its too big to download...:( | 15:23 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: I rebooted, seems to be working now. | 15:23 |
| roland_ | i kinda killed my panes by mistake! how can i restore them back! | 15:23 |
| Nutubuntu | MasterShrak: this is a clean, new Gutsy install. Nothing is there. | 15:24 |
| desowin | I can't really type anything, because it gets deleted (due to backspace) in second | 15:24 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: good news | 15:24 |
| MasterShrak | Nutubuntu: very strang, never heard of such an issue | 15:24 |
| L3ttuc3 | MasterShrak it's not exactly full powersave. it only blanks the lcd screen, does not even turn it off. everything else was working fine. | 15:24 |
| desowin | happened for me 3 times so far | 15:24 |
| bazhang | blink: again you want support then get the real one--- www.ubuntu.com | 15:24 |
| L3ttuc3 | MasterShrak i mean, it hadn't suspended or hibernated. | 15:24 |

| MasterShrak | hmm | 15:24 |

| muramasa | bardyr, as I said, I'm not skilled at these stuff. Wouldn't know how to explain it better. For example, playing mp3s, watching videos (both online and offline) does not generate any sound. Does that help? | 15:25 |
| jameg | MasterShrak: I think its working now. Thanks! | 15:25 |
| Ubuntu5446 | can anyone help me with a slow computer? | 15:25 |
| bazhang | blink that cd is not supported here | 15:25 |
| Nutubuntu | MasterShrak: it's weird. I can't help wondering if it (for large values of "it") doesn't like the A64 or something. | 15:25 |
| MasterShrak | jameg: good news :) | 15:25 |
| LadyNikon | Ubuntu5446: do you know whats making it slow? | 15:25 |
| bazhang | Ubuntu5446: be more precise please | 15:25 |
| Ubuntu5446 | i recently upgraded to gutsy, and just the other day did dpkg-reconfigure | 15:25 |
| bardyr | muramasa, in the terminal type alsamixer | 15:25 |
| MasterShrak | Nutubuntu: a64 = athlon64? | 15:25 |
| LadyNikon | Ubuntu5446: not saying that i can help you.. but defining whats slow.. might help | 15:25 |
| L3ttuc3 | MasterShrak positive, the only thing it does is blank the lcd screen, and not turned off. i can use Fn key on laptop keyboard and the little lcd icon, and that really turns the backlight off, because it goes darker, so no, it just blanks it. and it's not in standby, or hibernate either. | 15:25 |
| bardyr | muramasa, and try to turn all the volumes up | 15:25 |
| Ubuntu5446 | no, it has been slow since i upgraded | 15:25 |

| ChrisM | MasterShrak: http://pastebin.com/m20bb4574 is the error | 15:29 |
| L3ttuc3 | MasterShrak i did that after it stopped working, what i said earlier. modprobe usbhid hung. had to ctrl+c out of it, although after bootup it reloaded it automatically, so it must have written something in modules.conf or wherever those modules listings are kept before failing to actually do something. | 15:29 |

| CreativeEmbassy | http://88.191.35.197/listen.pls | 15:41 |
| Kez | ok bazhang | 15:41 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: I'm embarassed to say I keep forgetting which number that is | 15:41 |
| MasterShrak | CreativeEmbassy: is that the only one that doesnt work for you? if so its the stream | 15:41 |
| Kez | now its giving me a command promt area to type stuff in | 15:41 |
| danbhfive | ChrisM: also, here is another command: sudo fdisk -l | 15:41 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak and danbhfive: Edited it so sdb1, now I am rebooting. If this works, I have another question. | 15:41 |
| CreativeEmbassy | well, other mp3 streams might not work either | 15:41 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: I think it is something like 1.8 G, does that sound right? | 15:41 |
| CreativeEmbassy | but I can play mp3s fine | 15:42 |
| CreativeEmbassy | so I'm not sure where the problem lies | 15:42 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: you have reached your quota on questions today, please try again tomorrow | 15:42 |
| MasterShrak | :) | 15:42 |
| danbhfive | ChrisM: roger that, thought I don't know what the original problem was... | 15:42 |
| CreativeEmbassy | and I can definitley play it in Vista/Winamp | 15:42 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrak Oh funny. | 15:42 |
| bazhang | kez you logged in? now try the command you wrote down once again, and when you hit the framebuffer question this time choose no, finish up and then restart and you will be good to go | 15:42 |
| MasterShrak | =P | 15:42 |

| [HU]gnanet | MasterShrak: ICH5/ICH5R | 15:44 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: It is giving me that main error again. | 15:44 |
| danbhfive | CreativeEmbassy: I just tried it, its working fine for me | 15:44 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: you could also run in terminal top | 15:44 |
| [HU]gnanet | MasterShrak: I think piix and ata_piix are conflicting | 15:44 |
| opteroN | How do i enable 5.1 audio in ubuntu | 15:45 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: this will let you see if any process is taking over the pc | 15:45 |
| Ubuntu5446 | do i have to leave the chat to log in as a new user? that sounds right to me... | 15:45 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrek: You know, it wouldn't hurt to save. Haha. :P | 15:45 |
| bazhang | _SiLENT_: for what purpose? | 15:45 |
| CreativeEmbassy | shrak: wait, really? | 15:45 |
| [HU]gnanet | MasterShrak: The one sata hdd is also detected in ATA/133 ... | 15:45 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: yea | 15:45 |
| CreativeEmbassy | I can get banned for posting a link like that? | 15:45 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: yes i know, but there is no such particular process | 15:45 |
| laughzilla | this is weird, i installed miro, the synaptic package manager says it's installed, yet i don't see it in any of the Applications menus. i tried to open "miro" with the command window, it did not come up as an installed app. any idea what it is called or where it's buried? | 15:45 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: I'd check because trackerd has been known to drag a system | 15:45 |
| laughzilla | bazhang | 15:45 |
| _SiLENT_ | bazhang: it is a whole story, this is because I am using satellite internet | 15:45 |
| bazhang | that is odd laughzilla | 15:46 |
| _SiLENT_ | I need to redirect only from one IP | 15:46 |
| MasterShrak | CreativeEmbassy: its possible, ive seen bans for stupid things. a shoutcast stream, probably not, but i tend not to take chances | 15:46 |
| troj | ei | 15:46 |
| CreativeEmbassy | ok | 15:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: also fyi i know from repairing pc's that hard drives dying are slower as the bad sectors start to appear | 15:46 |
| laughzilla | bazhang - i'll try to restart gnome | 15:46 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: I meant to indicate that I have already checked...actually specifically to see if trackerd was the problem, but it does not show up at all | 15:46 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: I know, laugh it up. Complete idiot I am. :P | 15:46 |
| MasterShrak | CreativeEmbassy: what program are you using to stream? | 15:46 |
| bazhang | alt-f2 miro yields nothing laughzilla | 15:46 |
| _SiLENT_ | please help if you can | 15:46 |
| danbhfive | CreativeEmbassy: if its related to getting help, I don't think you should worry about getting banned | 15:47 |
| laughzilla | bazhang - right | 15:47 |
| MasterShrak | lol @ ChrisM live n learn, then live n learn n save | 15:47 |
| ChrisM | haha | 15:47 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: did you run a hard drive check fsck on it? | 15:47 |
| Ubuntu5446 | how do i create a new user? | 15:47 |

| ubuntuisloved | sudo adduser --help | 15:47 |
| [HU]gnanet | MasterShrak: Chipset ich5 if you miss that post | 15:47 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: no i have not | 15:47 |

| blink | hey the www.ubuntu doesn't show anything about this link http://imaginux.com/addoncd/ but i get this link on ubuntu forum..can this addon support my ubuntu system?..i downloaded it but it seem doesn't support my system..i only want the compiz 3d desktop..pls help me,... | 15:48 |
| * ChrisM mumbles I better get this done before the wife shows up or she is going to kill me. | 15:48 | |
| MasterShrak | [HU]gnanet: yea i saw, im kinda stumped on that, honestly i dont have alot of experience with sata, but i never thought it to cause many problems | 15:48 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: you can run it from your live ubuntu cdrom | 15:48 |
| Kez | bazhang: how do i reload/reboot it now ive done all of that setup? is there a command? or should i just turn pc off and back on | 15:48 |
| bazhang | blink oy that cd is from who knows where? you need the original | 15:48 |
| [HU]gnanet | MasterShrak: no prob, i always got problems that others never face :D | 15:48 |
| MasterShrak | blink: get the idea of the addon cd out of your head, its not a good idea at all | 15:49 |
| bazhang | kez sudo reboot | 15:49 |
| Kez | here we go... lol | 15:49 |
| Jocke1 | When having 10+ tabs open in Firefox 2 or Firefox 3 alpha, CPU utilization very often goes to 100% and the system gets very slow. The issue seems to be identical with 2.0 and 3.0 alpha. Someone knows what could be wrong? | 15:49 |
| [HU]gnanet | I have nothing to lose to try combined_mode=libata as a kernel param | 15:49 |
| blink | so how i can get the 3d desktop?>>:( | 15:49 |
| opteroN | How do i enable 5.1 audio in ubuntu | 15:49 |
| ChrisM | Also, might as well ask my second question. If I double click on the "install" icon on the Live CD, will it just update Ubuntu and not screw with settings and files (Mainly the Virtual MAchines I put in.)? | 15:49 |
| MasterShrak | Jocke1: maybe its that you have 10+ tabs open | 15:49 |
| danbhfive | ChrisM: I think it screws with everything | 15:50 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: would it be okay if I did it from a livecd that is not gutsy? | 15:50 |
| bazhang | blink last time--get the original cd--though with an intel card--which you refused to answer which one --that may or may not support it | 15:50 |
| Jocke1 | MasterShrak: It also happens sometimes when I have only 3 tabs open. And it should also manage 10+ tabs. | 15:50 |
| MasterShrak | Jocke1: also if the pages have flash and stuff on them, theres a good chance its bogging your system down. i use an extention for firefox called "No Script" where you ahve to explicitly allow pages to run flash/java/etc | 15:50 |
| ChrisM | danbhfive: Is there a way I can upgrade without it messing with all my files? | 15:50 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: yes its a very basic binary | 15:50 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: alright I'll be back | 15:51 |
| === helpme is now known as lovemedo | ||
| danbhfive | ChrisM: can you use the upgrade manager? or apt-get? | 15:51 |
| [HU]gnanet | Jocke1: I agree MasterShrak, NoScript is what you shoudl try | 15:51 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: if you install from the cd, its going to overwrite, if you already have ubuntu installed, you can upgrade through apt-get | 15:51 |
| MasterShrak | !upgrade | ChrisM | 15:51 |
| ubotu | ChrisM: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 15:51 |
| Jocke1 | MasterShrak: It's typically on news sites, and they got a lot of graphics ads, and some flash. I'll take a look at NoScript. | 15:51 |
| opteroN | MasterShrak, do you know how to enable 5.1 audio in ubuntu | 15:52 |
| bazhang | ad block plus Jocke1 | 15:52 |
| MasterShrak | opteroN: nope, if i knew i would have told ya. have you checked the forums? | 15:52 |
| MasterShrak | !forums | opteroN | 15:52 |
| ChrisM | danbhfive: Yeah. OK. I will just click on the "Upgrade to 7.10" in the Updater. I was just highly reluctant because my Linux machine is my main computer where I do all my work. | 15:52 |
| ubotu | opteroN: The Ubuntu forums can be found at http://www.ubuntuforums.org. There is also a channel on IRC Freenode #ubuntuforums. | 15:52 |
| Jocke1 | bazhang: I'll look at that one too then :) | 15:52 |
| opteroN | yeah i have | 15:52 |
| bazhang | Jocke1: that is a serious nice addon | 15:52 |
| Jocke1 | bazhang: sounds good | 15:53 |
| * N3bunel brb | 15:53 | |
| Kez | oh dear... bazhang - same error :( is there any other possible remedy or should i do a fresh install | 15:53 |
| giggsey | Are there any American's here? (Active) | 15:53 |
| MasterShrak | opteroN: http://www.halfgaar.net/surround-sound-in-linux may be of some assistance, google is your friend | 15:53 |

| szymon_ | hej | 15:53 |
| CreativeEmbassy | I got sky.fm's jazz station to play, and it says its mp3 | 15:53 |
| MasterShrak | what is the other one CreativeEmbassy ? | 15:54 |
| CreativeEmbassy | but I tried several other stations, all shoutcase mp3, and non of them worked for me | 15:54 |
| MasterShrak | not mp3 apparently | 15:54 |
| chris062689 | Hello. | 15:54 |

| ArmedKing | Whats the command to show Kernel version again? I forgot | 15:54 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: ok, did it work? | 15:54 |
| chris062689 | Anyone here interested in starting a lightweight distro designed for lowend systems? o_0 | 15:55 |
| MasterShrak | ArmedKing: uname -a | 15:55 |
| [HU]gnanet | CreativeEmbassy: what player you meant before? | 15:55 |
| CreativeEmbassy | i gotta put a few more links on here | 15:55 |
| ArmedKing | MasterShrak, Tnx m8 | 15:55 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrak: What about where it shows it in other places? | 15:55 |
| CreativeEmbassy | I really like rhythmbox, and would prefer to use that | 15:55 |
| CreativeEmbassy | Sky Jazz, this works: http://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1403&file=filename.pls | 15:55 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: like where? | 15:55 |
| MasterShrak | CreativeEmbassy: have you installed extra codecs? | 15:55 |
| [HU]gnanet | hm | 15:56 |
| MasterShrak | !codecs > CreativeEmbassy (see the private message from ubotu) | 15:56 |
| CreativeEmbassy | I did the restricted extras | 15:56 |
| chris062689 | No one wants to help with a custom distro? :( | 15:56 |
| MasterShrak | CreativeEmbassy: get gstreamer (good, bad and ugly) and also have a look at medibuntu | 15:56 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrak: Well, it shows it in "Start Default Options" With kopt=root=UUID= | 15:56 |
| MasterShrak | !medibuntu > CreativeEmbassy (see the private message from ubotu) | 15:56 |
| CreativeEmbassy | i already got medibuntu | 15:56 |
| CreativeEmbassy | i'll double check all of the gstreamer ones | 15:56 |
| blink | does intel support 3d desktop?.. | 15:56 |
| danbhfive | CreativeEmbassy: open the stream with totem first | 15:57 |
| bullgard4 | 'man make' refers me to 'SEE ALSO: The GNU Make Manual'. Where can I find and read 'The GNU Make Manual'? | 15:57 |
| danbhfive | CreativeEmbassy: that should install the codecs you need | 15:57 |
| [HU]gnanet | CreativeEmbassy: i think some players doesnt recognize the difference between mp3 and aac and tra to play aac with mp3 decoder | 15:57 |
| CreativeEmbassy | i'll try that totem trick, thanks... | 15:57 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: what was the pastebin for your menu.lst again? sorry i closed the tab | 15:57 |
| CreativeEmbassy | totem just said it couldn't play it | 15:58 |
| CreativeEmbassy | hmm | 15:58 |
| MasterShrak | blink: i beleive so | 15:58 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrak: http://pastebin.com/mc8faf49 | 15:58 |
| MasterShrak | CreativeEmbassy: totem sucks, worst player out there imho | 15:58 |
| danbhfive | CreativeEmbassy: are you on Gutsy? | 15:58 |
| * ChrisM can't wait to get off this damned vista laptop... | 15:58 | |
| brophat | I am using nm-applet and it does not lock onto my wireless router when I boot my puter, it just spins around trying to log onto it, but when I manually click on it, it logs on relatively fast, about 15 to 20 secs. | 15:58 |
| blink | no...no...i want 3ddesktop... | 15:58 |
| CreativeEmbassy | danbhfive: yes | 15:59 |
| brophat | anyone have the same experience? | 15:59 |
| blink | i will prove to you i can get 3ddexktop on my intel notebook... | 15:59 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: nah, those lines look commented out (if they have a # at the beginning, they are just comments) | 15:59 |
| brophat | or know how to get it to log on auto when I boot my puter? | 15:59 |
| CreativeEmbassy | for FrenchKissFM, totem just says "There is no plugin to handle this movie" | 15:59 |
| d4t4min3r | I have a question | 15:59 |
| CreativeEmbassy | one sec, lemme check out gstreamer | 15:59 |
| === Rosset is now known as Rosset-off | ||
| neverblue | morning | 15:59 |
| d4t4min3r | I d/l the new ubuntu but im out of cd-rs but I do have some blank dvds | 15:59 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrek: OH OK, kinda like in ini configuration files where ; removes it. I see said the deaf man. | 15:59 |
| d4t4min3r | can I use that to burn it to and install | 15:59 |
| MasterShrak | blink: i believe you, i alredy told you that you can with an intel chip, now do you ahve a problem or are you just trolling? | 16:00 |
| neverblue | d4t4min3r, yeah, but you have to extract the image, then make a bootable DVD ISO, which you may burn | 16:00 |
| d4t4min3r | neverblue: how do I do that | 16:00 |
| danbhfive | MasterShrak: I think you are incorrect about menu.lst, some of those commented out lines are configuration options for the automated installer | 16:00 |
| neverblue | d4t4min3r, its not easy, what are you using to burn with? | 16:00 |
| d4t4min3r | k3b | 16:00 |
| MasterShrak | danbhfive: really? i was not aware (im more used to lilo i guess) | 16:01 |
| neverblue | d4t4min3r, then you will need to mount the ISO, and use k3b to make a bootable DVD | 16:01 |
| d4t4min3r | well... hum | 16:01 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrak: So wait, does this mean I can make it say what I want? Like instead of "Recovery mode" I can make it say "Use the force"? | 16:01 |
| CreativeEmbassy | i already had good and bad and ugly | 16:01 |
| d4t4min3r | how can I mount the iso, by using virual box | 16:01 |
| danbhfive | MasterShrak: here is the line the leads me to that belief: ## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs | 16:01 |
| neverblue | d4t4min3r, sorry, have to reboot, maybe just buy a CDR | 16:02 |
| ChrisM | OK danbhfive: I will edit those as well. | 16:02 |
| d4t4min3r | I have a 1 gig flash drive, could I put the cd iso on that and use that? | 16:02 |
| MasterShrak | danbhfive: heh, i guess i should read more, i usually skip comments unless i need them for some reason lol | 16:02 |
| MasterShrak | !install | d4t4min3r | 16:02 |

| MasterShrak | nope wrong factoid | 16:02 |
| MasterShrak | hmm | 16:02 |
| d4t4min3r | so put the cd iso on the flash | 16:02 |
| MasterShrak | oh nvm, thats right | 16:02 |

| Kez | bazhang: i finally got in to my gui, and selected my native resolution (woo!) but i have 2 black bars at either side of the screen... do you know of any fix? | 16:17 |
| ChrisM | OK MAsterShrak. What is it I typed earlier to find out what my hard drive is? | 16:17 |
| to__ | bonjour | 16:17 |
| _Oz_ | ok, I installed tightvncviewer using sudo apt-get install tightvncviewer but how do I install the server?? | 16:17 |
| arrrghhh | Boglizk: ok... i use FF3. the betas have been stellar. beta3 just came out, and my windows machine updated itself. my linux boxes have not. ff3 is in the repos, but like alpha8 not even beta. | 16:17 |
| MasterShrak | Kez: if you have black bars, i would venture to guess you arent running at native resolution, is everything squished ro what? | 16:17 |
| bazhang | kez aha! well we at least knocked down one barrier | 16:17 |
| alex_ru | yt | 16:17 |
| Odd-rationale | blink: Do you have desktop wall disabled? | 16:18 |
| Kez | nope, it looks very sharp, but 2 black bars... it is *certainly* my native resolution, im staring at it on my monitor info book right now and ive used it in windows | 16:18 |
| === Skweeker_duce is now known as Skweeker | ||
| Boglizk | arrrghhh: If you're so desperate for the newest version of everything, you might want to consider compiling software yourself. | 16:18 |
| * MasterShrak agrees | 16:18 | |
| blink | odd: ya.. | 16:18 |
| arrrghhh | Boglizk: well that's what i'm going to have to do. but why does my windows machine update itself without having to compile? that doesn't make sense. i figured linux would get more FF support than windows. | 16:18 |
| bazhang | kez this is a desktop? | 16:18 |
| blink | it cant be enabled if i enable 3d | 16:19 |
| Kez | yes | 16:19 |
| danbhfive | arrrghhh: it's the nature of ubuntu, ubuntu releases new software every 6 months, in general | 16:19 |
| Boglizk | arrrghhh: Since the Firefox team doesn't supply Ubuntu .debs. Its obvious it will take some time. | 16:19 |
| arrrghhh | danbhfive: hrm... | 16:19 |
| Odd-rationale | blink: You have | 16:19 |
| danbhfive | arrrghhh: the FF developers release there software on windows themselves, and release the sourcecode for the linux distros | 16:19 |
| bazhang | kez I got that as well with my oem viewsonic (benq) and adjusted it by fiddling with the controls on the monitor itself | 16:19 |
| arrrghhh | Boglizk: oh they don't provide DEBs? i guess i knew that since it always gives me a .tar file | 16:19 |
| Odd-rationale | blink: You have "Desktop Cube" and "Rotate Cube" enabled. Correct? | 16:20 |
| blink | ya...but not desk wall.. | 16:20 |
| Boglizk | arrrghhh: Then why do you act so surprised? Just compile it. geeez. | 16:20 |
| xxploit | arrrghhh, if theres a newer FF repo u can grab debs from just add it and use it to update FF for? i dont see the problem. | 16:20 |
| arrrghhh | i just wish firefox updated as easily in linux as it did in windows. that makes me sad. well thank you everyone, that was actually helpful. | 16:20 |
| Kez | bazhang: that's what everyone has suggested, but with DVI input on my monitor, it does not allow access to those kind of controls... they're locked | 16:20 |
| danbhfive | arrrghhh: so, you do have to compile your self, if you want it faster than ubuntu's time table, I think, I mean, its really up to the ubuntu devs | 16:20 |
| ChrisM | danbhfive: What is it you had typed to tell me how to see what my hard drives are named? | 16:20 |
| neverblue | arrrghhh, firefox support is available on /server irc.mozilla.org /join #firefox | 16:20 |
| MasterShrak | arrrghhh: so maybe YOU should get your information right before you come to channels and call people retarded | 16:20 |
| danbhfive | ChrisM: maybe it was sudo fdisk -l | 16:20 |
| arrrghhh | MasterShrak: i do have my info right. thanks for the attack too, lovely. | 16:20 |

| MasterShrak | ChrisM: ? | 16:32 |
| ikonia | rpj8: ok - your machine isn't in a domain unless you've conifgued nis or nis+ or ldap, you can use samba as a 3rd part tools to join windows domains which will be listed in your /etc/smb.conf file | 16:32 |

| Odd-rationale | blink: Right now it just slides? | 16:34 |
| ikonia | bullgard4: why do you want to build a kernel, it will break your ubuntu package manager and dependant packages | 16:34 |

| cheeby | ikonia, ok. just making sure I'm not losing my mind. using MDB2 (PEAR), and an insert that has always worked is now failing. You'd the failure would get recorded somewhere. | 18:07 |

| kriel | solar_george: done. | 18:27 |
| eshaase | web server i mean | 18:27 |
| danbhfive | eshaase: that's one crazy question | 18:27 |
| _moro_bana_ | Indiadev_Techie: aha thanks | 18:27 |
| kriel | solar_george: though, it's the gentoo live-cd's proc. | 18:27 |
| sipior | zackyramone: does it say anything intelligible on the screen? | 18:27 |
| Indiadev_Techie | prakriti: luk buddy...i dont know if u know this or not...but ther r many popular game titles available in linux flavour tooo...go google up !!! | 18:27 |
| DRebellion | eshaase, i have no idea what you are trying to do. please explain... | 18:27 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: I couldn't figure out how to do what you asked me to do, something about using the livecd and fsck | 18:27 |
| In-Sane | bazhang: thanks alot for the site, it was exactly what I am looking for, I appreciate it:) | 18:28 |
| _moro_bana_ | Indiadev_Techie: but most of em are 32bit | 18:28 |
| solar_george | <kriel> as long as it is in ubuntu's /proc folder | 18:28 |
| zackyramone | sipior: no, it keeps on flashing, i can hear the sounds when i log in but nothing can be seen | 18:28 |
| Picachoo | if someone uses a flashdrive having .txt files and ms office files likc .doc and .xls . but i have open office installed on linux. will it make any compatibility problems or damage them if kate or open office is used? or the will work fine and can be re used by windows again? | 18:28 |
| bazhang | In-Sane: no worries ;] | 18:28 |
| kriel | solar_george: it is. I'll double check, though. | 18:28 |
| eshaase | is there any way i can point my web browser to an executeable to execute and have its contents displayed as if it using a web server (without using a web server like apache)? | 18:28 |
| eshaase | tahts what i meant =) | 18:28 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: run live cd then run fsck -r | 18:28 |
| sipior | zackyramone: got another computer you can use to log in remotely? | 18:28 |
| danbhfive | eshaase: why without apache? | 18:28 |
| Eimhin | phaidros: i was just wondering if you could remember what the problem was, or what i had to do to find it | 18:28 |
| DRebellion | eshaase, nope, i still have no idea what you are trying to achieve. | 18:28 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: that will check the drive and -A checks all filesystems | 18:29 |
| kriel | solar_george: yeah, it's already mounted there | 18:29 |
| sipior | zackyramone: also, can you verify that your monitor didn't buy the farm when the power fluctuated? | 18:29 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: you mean boot from the cd and then do the terminal? | 18:29 |
| In-Sane | GNOME Icon Theme <-- does that mean a icon pack or a theme? | 18:29 |
| solar_george | <kriel> do you have a /etc/mtab file | 18:29 |
| zackyramone | sipior: i got a laptop but its not networked | 18:29 |
| Indiadev_Techie | _moro_bana_: i think u can get wolfenstien game in linux flavour too... | 18:29 |
| prince_jammys | eshaase: not easily | 18:29 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: yes | 18:29 |
| danbhfive | eshaase: I would write a php script to do it | 18:29 |
| Indiadev_Techie | _moro_bana_: gooooogle up man... | 18:29 |
| sipior | zackyramone: what does it keep flashing, btw? | 18:29 |
| Ubuntu5446 | alright | 18:29 |
| nosaj | is ther any way to peel back oldd files on a hd after window format, i got this 40 gig hd from a thrift store and wonderin whats on it | 18:29 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: im on chat if you pull it up from live cd | 18:29 |
| kriel | solar_george: yes. | 18:30 |
| prince_jammys | eshaase: yep, php, perl, ruby ..... | 18:30 |
| nosaj | im on ubuntu right now | 18:30 |
| zackyramone | sipior: some characters which i dont now what they are, tyhe screen is full of them and flashing | 18:30 |
| kriel | solar_george: but... there's no entry for /boot. Oo That's... wrong. | 18:30 |
| sipior | nosaj: best just to wipe it, as it is not very polite if the disk wasn't yours to begin with | 18:30 |
| danbhfive | nosaj: I think that qualifies as illegal activity, which isn't allowed here | 18:31 |
| eshaase | danbhfive: because apache is kinda overkill, looking for something more lightweight | 18:31 |
| sipior | zackyramone: it's not a screensaver, is it? | 18:31 |
| nosaj | true | 18:31 |
| kriel | solar_george: I've never directly manipulated /etc/mtab, anything special I need to do to add a /boot entry? | 18:31 |
| solar_george | <kriel> grep -v rootfs /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab From the gentoo handbook | 18:31 |
| eshaase | prince_jammys: php, perl, ruby, i'd have to use apache no? | 18:31 |
| zackyramone | sipior: nono there re no screen savers. it does this from the log in screen onwrds but i cn see ubuntu loding before the log in screen | 18:31 |
| kriel | solar_george: trying. I didn't read that far up the handbook (I didn't want to b0rk up my ubuntu too bad..) | 18:31 |
| danbhfive | eshaase: well, you have to have SOMETHING to server the webpages, you either have to find a more lightwieght one, or program one yourself, neither of which I know anything about | 18:31 |
| Indiadev_Techie | nosaj: its illigal !!! | 18:32 |
| prince_jammys | eshaase: not with ruby | 18:32 |
| prince_jammys | eshaase: ruby on rails | 18:32 |
| sipior | zackyramone: hmm...you might try rebooting the machine, see if it clears up? | 18:32 |
| In-Sane | GNOME Icon Theme <-- does that mean an icon pack or a theme? it is a dumb question I know! | 18:32 |
| kriel | solar_george: looks like it worked. rebooting, lets see how well my ubuntu survived. | 18:32 |
| zackyramone | sipior: i'v tried rebooting mny times but its useless ??? | 18:32 |
| zackyramone | sipior: im relly confused right now | 18:32 |
| Picachoo | can linux run all video/audio formats (after installing free available codecs) that windows can run. .mpg .dat .avi .mp3 ? | 18:33 |
| sipior | zackyramone: i could tell by the question marks :) it's possible the machine has some hardware difficulty resulting from the unstable power | 18:33 |
| noodlesgc | Picachoo yes | 18:33 |
| === EliRibble is now known as Ender | ||
| ikonia | Picachoo: it can run everything there is a codec for | 18:33 |
| sipior | zackyramone: it's hard to diagnose without data from the machine, however | 18:33 |
| eshaase | prince_jammys: hmmm, ok thansk, i'll look into it | 18:33 |
| frank32 | Picachoo: basically everything except DRMed .wmv | 18:33 |
| Erealz | linux plays everything witht he proper drivers | 18:33 |
| zackyramone | sipior: so what shall i do to get the data? | 18:33 |
| noodlesgc | nosaj Trinity Rescue Kit | 18:34 |
| === EliRibble is now known as Ender | ||
| sipior | zackyramone: well, that's the trick, isn't it? if you can get that laptop on your network, you should be able to tell very quickly if the machine is responding properly. | 18:34 |
| nRkiSt | eshaase look here for a comparison of lightweight webservers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_web_servers | 18:34 |
| Indiadev_Techie | Picachoo: yes u can...just open up the audio-vedio file in any player n ubuntu will install the needed codecs.... | 18:34 |
| ikonia | noodlesgc: why have you told someone to use a rescue kit to configure grub ? | 18:34 |

| kriel | solar_george: that did the trick. Thanks. | 18:35 |
| prince_jammys | zachyramone: the command "top" shows active processes | 18:35 |

| zackyramone | sipior: yeah its installed | 18:45 |
| sipior | zackyramone: cool, do you happen to know the ip address of your linux machine? | 18:45 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: what do you mean? | 18:45 |
| Picachoo | pike_ it will auto make an ssh connection first and then shut it donw. ( i have 10 clients in net cafe) ill make one for each of them :) | 18:45 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: i mean just boot from cdrom | 18:45 |
| * Picachoo waits for pike_ past bin link | 18:45 | |
| zackyramone | sipior: no i think i have to set a static ip | 18:46 |
| Reenen | I need to know how do I know if I have the latest/best device drivers (is there such a thing in linux) for my on-board screencard? | 18:46 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: when I started up this time around, fsck was run because i had mounted 35 times without check, so check was forced | 18:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: hows the system been running | 18:46 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: would that make this redudant then? | 18:46 |
| Ubuntu5446 | *redundant | 18:46 |
| sipior | zackyramone: hmm...can you get the ip address for your laptop? should be under one of the network tabs in XP | 18:46 |
| Ubuntu5446 | same, very slow still | 18:46 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: well you can check the drive for bad sectors whats the specs on your box? | 18:47 |
| sipior | zackyramone: look for "tcp/ip" and "properties" | 18:47 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: box? | 18:47 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: well you can check the drive for bad sectors whats the specs on your computer? | 18:47 |
| s0u][ight | hello what is the command to install the kernel headers? | 18:47 |
| Imaginal | brobostigon: do you remember the plugin name? | 18:47 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: which specs are you looking for? | 18:48 |
| Reenen | s0u][ight: I don't know... | 18:48 |
| Reenen | s0u][ight: I only install it via the CD | 18:48 |
| FranzJesus | s0u][ight: sudo apt-get install linux-headers will give you some alternatives | 18:48 |
| FranzJesus | s0u][ight: Then choose the one you wan't | 18:49 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: just wondering what cpu speed or just the computer model info | 18:49 |
| Eimhin | phaidros: i gtg, drop me an email when you get the chance at eimhinsmyth@yahoo.ie | 18:49 |

| In-Sane | I downloaded the theme, extract it on desktop, got many files, now, how do i change to the new theme? do i use preferences -> theme? | 18:50 |
| maximilion__ | In-Sane, open Prefs/Appearance | 18:51 |
| maximilion__ | go to themes and drag "zip" file into that window :) | 18:51 |

| sipior | zackyramonee: great, can you open up a command terminal on windows? | 18:53 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: laptop, hp pavilion dv6436nr, 2x amd turion 64 x2, nvidia geforce go 6150, cpu frequency claims I am running at 1.80 GHz, system monitor claims that processor is at 90% use, though the chart is weird because there is a faded black and a bright blue coloring, seem to be different indicators, before upgrading the blue was usually up higher but now it never goes above a tenth within the black box | 18:53 |
| In-Sane | maximilion__: I can't see Appearance here, am on Ubuntu | 18:53 |
| anton | hi how do i set an environmetn variable | 18:53 |
| anton | with echo? | 18:53 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: ok done | 18:53 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: should be in one of the applications menus | 18:53 |
| ikonia | anton: VARIABLE=whateveryouwant | 18:54 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: try "ipconfig", and see what address it gives | 18:54 |
| anton | WMII_SELCOLORS='#000000 #eaffff #8888cc' | 18:54 |
| anton | lik this? | 18:54 |
| jtaby | hey, how can i delete all the files in a directory called .swp recursively? | 18:54 |
| ikonia | sipior: ifconfig | 18:54 |
| sipior | ikonia: not under windows it;s not | 18:54 |
| ikonia | anton: quotes can be a problem | 18:54 |
| ikonia | sipior: oooh windows | 18:54 |
| sipior | ikonia: try reading a little further back | 18:54 |
| prince_jammys | jtaby rm -r name_of_dir/* | 18:55 |
| FranzJesus | anton: set WMII_SELCOLORS='#000000 #eaffff #8888cc' | 18:55 |
| jtaby | prince_jammys, wouldn't that delete the contents of the directory? | 18:55 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: ok it gave me two ip adresses: one from the wireless network and the other from the LAN | 18:55 |
| prince_jammys | jtaby isnt that what you want | 18:55 |
| jtaby | prince_jammys, no, i just want to delete all the files called .swp | 18:55 |
| anton | thx | 18:55 |
| jtaby | oh sorry, my question was unclear | 18:55 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: assuming the linux box is connected to the wired LAN, that's the one we'll be wanting | 18:56 |
| FranzJesus | anton: I might be wrong thou... | 18:56 |
| thekidrio | Anyone have a rough idea what level i should set the bandwidth limit for web browsing? | 18:56 |
| prince_jammys | jtaby full name is ".swp" or that end in .swp? | 18:56 |
| ikonia | thekidrio: thats up to you, your priorities and your connection and how many people share it | 18:56 |
| jtaby | prince_jammys, full name | 18:56 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: ok, so what should i do now? | 18:56 |
| thekidrio | ikonia: i am looking to limit the web browsing, but I don't want it too slow ya nkow | 18:56 |
| adac2 | I need 64 bit driver for ndiswrapper with the usb wlan stick 3crusb20075. where can I get this? | 18:57 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: could you pm me the address? | 18:57 |
| ikonia | thekidrio: as I said, thats down to you / your connection / what else you do / how many people use it - that up to you | 18:57 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: or put it on the channel, assuming it's not publicly visible | 18:57 |
| thekidrio | ikonia: not really all those factors, I want to know what a decent web browsing bandwidth is, does not matter how many users | 18:57 |
| prince_jammys | jtaby: find dir_name -name '.swp' | xargs rm | 18:57 |
| FranzJesus | anton: Should probably be export WMII_SELCOLORS='#000000 #eaffff #8888cc' | 18:57 |
| ikonia | thekidrio: it does matter | 18:57 |
| DRebellion | thekidrio, the bigger the bandwidth, the faster it goes... | 18:57 |
| ikonia | thekidrio: thats what I'm saying, and this is nothing to do with ubuntu | 18:57 |
| Picachoo | pike_ you there? | 18:57 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: 192.168.2.1 but i dont think thats the right one | 18:57 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: was there other info you need? | 18:58 |
| thekidrio | sigh, never mind haha | 18:58 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: it probably is, actually | 18:58 |
| anton | ok | 18:58 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: 192.168.0.1 | 18:58 |
| prince_jammys | jtaby: replace rm with "ls" before you do it to check that will delete what you want and no more | 18:58 |
| zackyramonee | sipior:thats the right one | 18:58 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: besides what i just posted above | 18:58 |
| maximilion__ | In-Sane, explore the menus at the top of the screen! You will find it :) | 18:58 |
| qwerkus | hello; i cannot change root pass of mysql data base | 18:58 |

| In-Sane | thanks all for help, bye | 18:58 |
| qwerkus | mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed | 18:58 |
| qwerkus | error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)' | 18:58 |

| qwerkus | (sry for double paste) | 18:59 |
| In-Sane | maximilion__: I got it, thanks, I already set the new theme. I won't forget it thanks alot | 18:59 |
| qwerkus | using cmd myqladmin -u root -p pass | 18:59 |
| maximilion__ | Hehe, cool 8) | 18:59 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: thanks for the spam - is the server running, is the password set ? is the password set for user@localhost ? | 18:59 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: nothing happened ??? | 18:59 |
| maximilion__ | In-Sane, I have an OSX theme myself, it rocks :D | 18:59 |
| pike_ | Picachoo: yeah something like this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/55885/ | 19:00 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: no error given? no "Connection refused"? | 19:00 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: are you still around? | 19:00 |
| In-Sane | maximilion__: lol, Yes. it does. | 19:00 |
| qwerkus | ikonia: server is running, and the point is resetting the password | 19:00 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: network error: connection timed out | 19:00 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: yeah, not the right address. | 19:00 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: can you log onto the router itself? | 19:00 |
| pike_ | Picachoo: only youd change the echo mycommand line to whatever. the only caveat is that i dunno how youd do this with sudo offhand so youd need to login as root which.. is a no no on open networks | 19:00 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: yes that i can do | 19:00 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: reseting the password has nothing to do with it 1.) have you SET the MYSQL (not ubuntu) root password 2.) is the user@host correct | 19:01 |
| walla | could anyone help me get started with editing sql databases in ubuntu? | 19:01 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: check and see if the modem has a log of the ip addresses it has doled out. one will be for your laptop, another for your linux box | 19:01 |
| prince_jammys | walla: much better bet in #mysql, for example | 19:01 |
| qwerkus | ikonia: where can i check this ? | 19:01 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: check what, did you or did you not set the MYSQL root user password (not the ubuntu one) yes or no | 19:01 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: you either did - or you didn't | 19:02 |
| unagi | how do i remove gnome? | 19:02 |
| ikonia | unagi: apt-get remove gnome-desktop | 19:02 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: once you have that address, you should be able to log into your linux box. my *guess* is that there is a hardware problem with the display, either the monitor or the video card | 19:02 |
| ikonia | unagi: I hope you have something else already installed | 19:02 |
| qwerkus | ikonia: this is an old install, and i guess a few years ago, everything has been set | 19:02 |
| unagi | kde | 19:02 |
| ikonia | unagi: use synaptic to remove it all | 19:02 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: yea just very busy | 19:02 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: try mysql -u root -p | 19:02 |
| unagi | will remove gnome-desktop remove all gnome apps? | 19:02 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: Jan 1 00:00:36 pppd[563]: local IP address 194.106.93.199 | 19:02 |

| zackyramonee | Jan 1 00:00:36 pppd[563]: secondary DNS address 194.106.64.41 | 19:02 |
| Picachoo | pike_ thanks. what if the computer clients are windows and the server is linux? | 19:02 |
| sipior | zackyramonee: unfortunately, i really do have to run, so i'll wish you the best of luck in sorting things out | 19:02 |
| ikonia | unagi: it will remove EVERYTHING as gnome apps depend on gnome, so if you remove gnome - the apps won't work | 19:03 |
| qwerkus | ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) | 19:03 |
| unagi | i want the apps gone too | 19:03 |
| zackyramonee | sipior: ok thanks ill probably wait till i see you again | 19:03 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: right so your password is most probably wrong | 19:03 |
| ikonia | unagi: use synaptic and click what you want gone and hit remove all | 19:03 |
| === magical_trevsky is now known as MRDANGER | ||
| unagi | that would be alot of clicking | 19:03 |
| qwerkus | ikonia: is it possible to read the database ? | 19:03 |
| Ubuntu5446 | ubuntuisloved: gotcha | 19:03 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: if you have a valid user that has connect and read permissions, sure | 19:04 |
| unagi | theres no way to remove everything that is included in ubuntu but not in kubuntu? | 19:04 |
| prince_jammys | qwekus: not if you cant log in | 19:04 |
| Chris_M | Ack. Damn laptop. | 19:04 |
| ikonia | unagi: depends on dependencies, but yes as I've said, open synmaptic and remove all gnome apps | 19:04 |
| qwerkus | ikonia: so what are my options ? | 19:04 |
| zackyramonee | so.....can anyone help me with my system that cannot show anything apart from flashing characters? | 19:04 |
| prince_jammys | qwerkus: make sure the password is set properly | 19:04 |
| === Chris_M is now known as ChrisM | ||
| ikonia | qwerkus: get the right password | 19:04 |
| qwerkus | prince_jammys: how do i check this | 19:04 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: re-install mysql | 19:04 |
| unagi | and as i have said that would be alot of clicking and figuring out which apps are ubuntu apps, so again, is there not a way to do it with a command? | 19:05 |
| qwerkus | i cannot ask myself for a lost pass | 19:05 |
| pike_ | Picachoo: it wont work | 19:05 |
| ikonia | unagi: yes, but you have to call out the packages | 19:05 |
| qwerkus | so i guess i have to reinstall | 19:05 |
| Picachoo | pike_ whynot | 19:05 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: if you don't know the password - your out of luck | 19:05 |
| qwerkus | which packet ? mysql-server ? | 19:05 |
| pike_ | Picachoo: er wont work on windows unless youre running cygwin or something youd need an ssh server | 19:05 |
| ikonia | qwerkus: you may want to join #mysql and see if they will offer more advanced options | 19:05 |
| qwerkus | ok | 19:06 |
| qwerkus | i will do that | 19:06 |
| prince_jammys | qwerkus: quick answers with "sudo apt-get install mysql-doc-5.0" and then in a browser::/usr/share/doc/mysql-doc-5.0/refman-5.0-en.html-chapter/index.html | 19:06 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: any luck? | 19:06 |
| qwerkus | thanks a lot | 19:06 |
| ChrisM | Nope. | 19:06 |
| prince_jammys | qwerkus: easy tutorial gets you started | 19:06 |
| ChrisM | Errr | 19:06 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: Nope. | 19:06 |
| MasterShrak | :( | 19:06 |
| pike_ | Picachoo: for windows the pstools are really nice i dunno if you can run em with wine but psshutdown.exe is a handy executable | 19:06 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: what happened before this that made it not work? | 19:07 |
| unagi | remove ubuntu desktop didnt work | 19:07 |
| unagi | ubuntu-desktop-data perhaps? | 19:07 |
| ikonia | unagi: no - use synaptic or apt-cache to search for the correct package names | 19:07 |
| ikonia | unagi: there will be a LOT | 19:07 |
| ChrisM | MAsterShrak: Seems no one knows a fix. Not Launchpad, Ubuntuforums or anything else. I can't afford to do a reformat as 100% of all my work documents are on there. Including my work numbers and client information. | 19:07 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: was this after an upgrade or something that it doesnt work now? like maybe your kernel getting upgraded? | 19:08 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: All I did was click "Update" in the System Update window. | 19:08 |
| unagi | i dont understand | 19:08 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: What I updated was the Linux Kernel Headers. | 19:08 |
| ikonia | unagi: to remove the package you need to know the correct package name | 19:08 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: try using the other kernel, not the recovery one, but the other normal one | 19:08 |
| ikonia | unagi: so you'll need to use synaptic to search and select for the packages, or apt-cache to search for the packages then apt-get remove to remove them | 19:08 |
| unagi | right but if all i had to do to install kubuntu was install kubuntu-desktop, why is there not an easy way to remove ubuntu | 19:08 |
| ChrisM | MasterShrak: Can't use any kernels, even the older ones. They produce the same errors. | 19:09 |
| Blue_Sassley | ChrisM, what is the issue you are having after the kernal headers update? | 19:09 |
| ikonia | unagi remove ubuntu-desktop | 19:09 |
| ikonia | unagi: or whatever the correct gnome package name is | 19:10 |
| ikonia | unagi: thats why I said "search" | 19:10 |
| CVD-PR | sup | 19:10 |
| ikonia | unagi: that won't remove everything due to dependencies | 19:10 |
| unagi | ubuntu-desktop-data is the closest | 19:10 |
| ikonia | unagi: thats not it | 19:10 |
| MasterShrak | ChrisM: you could do a chroot from the livecd and reinstall the kernel packages maybe | 19:10 |

| xeer | hi guys, i seem to have a very serious issue with ubuntu 7.10 | 19:17 |
| Chris_M | Damn mIRC is saying that is not my name. Damn, I am not having a good morning. | 19:17 |

| xeer | right after grub loads, the lcd screen on my laptop bleeds | 19:18 |

| neverblue | ikonia, obviously, but if you have 5 mins at some point today, can you fire me off a pm? | 19:19 |
| gyver | neverblue how can i network ubuntu | 19:19 |
| ikonia | tragost: nagios on a remote box | 19:19 |
| ikonia | neverblue: join #ubnuntu-offtopic | 19:19 |

| chaosrl | how would i go about activating my swap partition? | 19:19 |
| Blue_Sassley | Chris_M, can you paste your whole menu.lst file on pastebin? | 19:19 |
| _slacker_ | ikonia, cool dude, thx a lot! | 19:19 |
| Chris_M | xeer: Might be that your monitor is going down the drain. | 19:19 |
| neverblue | gyver, insert network card, plug into LAN, then fire that system up :) | 19:20 |
| xeer | Chris_M: unlikely. i can dual boot into windows fine, and if i swap hard drives of an existing ubunut it works as expected | 19:20 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: yea just very busy | 19:20 |
| ubuntuisloved | Ubuntu5446: sorry | 19:20 |

| Chris_M | Blue_Sassley: http://pastebin.com/m63c278b4 | 19:21 |
| Chris_M | Blue_Sassley: I changed where it says to in the Menu.lst, which is the root= I changed it to root=/dev/sda1 and it still says it is wrong, even though fstab and fdisk both confirm that it is /sda1. Even MasterShrak said my menu.lst looks OK. | 19:21 |
| Ubuntu5446 | i need help with a slow computer | 19:21 |
| solar_george | <Ubuntu5446> any more info? | 19:21 |
| Ubuntu5446 | it became slow once i upgraded from feisty to gutsy a few days ago | 19:21 |
| xeer | i can give a description of the bleeding.. it's like a plasma effect moving inward with scattered pixels | 19:21 |
| sslashes | to clarify: origionally, the PCM volume control was not changable (alsamixer would not let me mute or change its volume), after my most recent apt-get upgrade, it now lets me change the volume of the PCM control, but it does not actually effect the volume in any way, and it still cannot be muted - any ideas? | 19:22 |
| xeer | it's quite something to look at.. but it worries me and i'd rather have a working desktop | 19:22 |

| oeb | Wonderful. So after the live cd version changed, I tried the alternate version. Almost got it all done (Except for wireless, but google tells me ubuntu does not like acer wireless ootb and I can get drivers later). Now however it fails at the 85% mark of configure and install software every time. Any ideas? I get no error message. | 19:23 |

| Chris_M | JAck_Sparrow: The UUID is what causes the error, as well as the SDA1 | 19:27 |
| MasterShrak | Ubuntu5446: its a factoid from ubotu, when you put a ! in front of a keyword he gives you info | 19:27 |

| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Reason why I ask specifically about upstart is because it's Ubuntu's replacement for SystemV Init process | 20:10 |

| faemir | What do people reckon for swap space when I have 1.5gb of ram? | 20:14 |
| Zeidan | Kibbles, perhaps you're seeing the outgoing ports? I don't know "network tools">port scan, and I'm not on ubuntu so i cannot check | 20:14 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: He's a Mac user and has a program called SuperDuper | 20:14 |

| Odd-rationale | arnath01: Yes with gnome + compiz. But KDE can do it with kwin. | 20:14 |

| Zeidan | Kibbles, don't have nmap here right now either, but I did it last time at work and it worked, I had modified the ports on a quite low level and it still detected them | 20:15 |
| ScorpKing | dgjones: nope. that's not it. it will say permission denied in that case | 20:15 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: and write a MBR to it (with grub-install) | 20:16 |
| === marko-_-_ is now known as marko-_- | ||
| Kibbles | Zeidan: wish you could remember the command | 20:16 |
| Zeidan | Kibbles, sorry can't but it's all in the manpage, believe me | 20:16 |
| Kibbles | Zeidan: i'm using "nmap -AP0 localhost" | 20:16 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: At the end, the calling script will even send out an email to our admins that the backup has finished (with the log file attached to the email) | 20:16 |
| duairc | Okay, I have a more or less brand new HP (G6000) laptop, and I've just installed Ubuntu on it (I never even booted into the Vista install that came with it). I'm getting <2 hours of battery life with Ubuntu, and gnome-power-manager tells me that the battery has a "Poor" capacity of 51%. Could this just be an Ubuntu bug, or is the battery definitely faulty? Is there any way of checking (other than installing Windows and seeing how the battery does in Windows)? | 20:16 |
| Zeidan | Kibbles, try scanning from another machine, scanning localhost is always troublesome | 20:16 |
| Odd-rationale | arnath01: open ccsm and go to desktop cube. Under the appearence tab and serval images to background image | 20:16 |
| xpired_ | join @zwhlug | 20:16 |
| ineedhelp | my panels are gone, how do i get them back? | 20:16 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I spent at least 3 days to get this script running | 20:17 |
| arnath01 | Odd-rationale: ah thanks :) | 20:17 |
| Zeidan | Kibbles, you can even detect ports between applications when you scan localhost(stupid but true) | 20:17 |
| prince_jammys | ineedhelp: try ALT-F2 and type "gnome-panel" | 20:17 |
| ineedhelp | it didnt work | 20:17 |
| nessl | I have the same problem as this guy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636003 | 20:17 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Had the idea from somebody who wrote something very similar as a PERL program | 20:17 |
| liquid | how can i install gutsy on a software raid5 system? | 20:17 |
| Bad | guys I have downloaded envy and install, how can i load it, can't see the command | 20:17 |
| Kibbles | Zeidan: thanks, will try. figured it would be best (it IS an auditing tool, after all:)) | 20:17 |
| nessl | I can suspend fine, but when I wake up again, I'm back at the log-in screen | 20:17 |
| david | anyone to recommend a really good adblocker for ubuntu? | 20:17 |
| Odd-rationale | david: Are you using firefox? | 20:18 |
| ineedhelp | yes | 20:18 |
| erUSUL | david: adblockplus for firefox | 20:18 |
| ineedhelp | for firefox | 20:18 |
| prince_jammys | david: for firefox:adblock-plus | 20:18 |
| mannytu | !tty | 20:18 |
| david | yes,ff :) | 20:18 |
| ubotu | To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution. | 20:18 |
| erUSUL | !envy | Bad | 20:18 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: that's quite a script. So why runlevel 1, to make sure nothing's using the files when you backup? | 20:18 |
| ubotu | Bad: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 20:18 |
| ineedhelp | use adblockplus and noscript firefox extensions | 20:18 |
| david | ok ;) thanks | 20:18 |
| ineedhelp | you will almost never get an add | 20:18 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: EXACTLY. That's the point. | 20:18 |
| ineedhelp | actually it is adblock plus | 20:18 |
| ScorpKing | dgjones: this is what i'm trying - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DDtoNFS - i created that page btw | 20:18 |
| Petengy | trying to change audio volume I receive this message "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." some ideas ?? | 20:18 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: And yes, that IS quite a script | 20:18 |
| david | some pages are even unusable due to ads | 20:18 |
| ineedhelp | yea i know | 20:18 |
| Odd-rationale | david: Your options are Adblock Plus FF addon, use privaoxy, or use a custom /etc/hosts file | 20:18 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: there's an easier way | 20:19 |
| ineedhelp | like 5 google ad as a header | 20:19 |
| ineedhelp | lol | 20:19 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I'm a programmer (do almost everything, from Visual Basic to RPG to COBOL, and now bash scripts...) | 20:19 |
| ineedhelp | omg | 20:19 |
| Odd-rationale | *privoxy | 20:19 |
| macabro22 | hellol | 20:19 |
| ineedhelp | i will try reboot X and see if i get my panel back | 20:19 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: you would have to have your filesystems on lvm, then you can create a snapshot which would freeze the filesystem. Then you can backup the snapshot | 20:20 |
| Zeidan | hey | 20:20 |
| macabro22 | My audio device is | 20:20 |
| macabro22 | I have an audio device that can't use the microphone00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02) | 20:20 |
| macabro22 | can someone help me? | 20:20 |
| twiztr | Hey everyone. | 20:20 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Alright. Let me 'splain what happen'd | 20:20 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: Only catch is if you have mysql or postgresql running you have to dump them first | 20:20 |
| david | AdBlockPlus - is that payware? | 20:20 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: got your cup of coffee ready (or tea)? | 20:20 |
| Zeidan | i can :d | 20:20 |
| twiztr | I'm running this through irssi, since my GUI isn't working. | 20:20 |
| Odd-rationale | david: no | 20:20 |
| dgjones | ScorpKing, i see you're installing portmap, do you also need the nfs-kernel-server? | 20:20 |
| prince_jammys | david no | 20:20 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: yes, but it's cold | 20:21 |
| macabro22 | I already tried to install Linux-backports-modules but that didn't work | 20:21 |
| Kibbles | any1 here familiar with nmap? | 20:21 |
| Zeidan | twiztr, hey:d | 20:21 |
| liquid | how can i install gutsy on a software raid5 system? | 20:21 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I actualy had LVM2 installed 2 weeks ago. Yet, it was a Debian "etch" then | 20:21 |
| twiztr | I just got a new LCD screen, but it's highest res is 1024x800 or w/e. My old CRT was set to 12**x**, and now I can't access my GUI. | 20:21 |
| Zeidan | twizrt, need help | 20:21 |
| pike_ | !raid | liquid | 20:21 |
| ubotu | liquid: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 20:21 |
| macabro22 | I really want to get my audio capture working | 20:21 |
| twiztr | The screen says Input Signal Out Of Range | 20:21 |
| ScorpKing | dgjones: portmap is only to speed things up. you only need nfs-kernel-server on the server afaik. booting a 7.04 cd now | 20:21 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Then, I ran an update+upgrade (apt-get update, apt-get upgrade) | 20:21 |
| twiztr | And help? | 20:21 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: And that was THE END!!! | 20:22 |
| Kibbles | twiztr: tried editing xorg.conf? | 20:22 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Or should I say, the beginning | 20:22 |
| Zeidan | twiztr, you need to get into CLI and change a setting in your xorg.conf | 20:22 |
| twiztr | Kibbles: I don't know how too. Also, I don't really know a whole bunch about how to do stuff on command line. | 20:22 |
| Zeidan | twiztr, very nasty business | 20:22 |
| twiztr | Is there a way to re run the setup thing? | 20:22 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: My boss decided that we needed a bootable external backup solution pronto so that this wouldn't happen again if an update messes up the system | 20:23 |
| twiztr | The GDM one... I think that's what I had to do when I replaced my video card. | 20:23 |
| Starnestommy | twiztr: I think sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:23 |
| brobostigon | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 20:23 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: so far so good. I install Ubuntu Gutsy Server to avoid having that issue again. Found mkbkup.pl (google it) | 20:23 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Perfect program. Only: It didn't support LVM | 20:24 |
| james12534 | livecd question | 20:24 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Nor did it support UUIDs | 20:24 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: I can understand, I have the same idea but I'm using another whole computer as a backup. | 20:24 |
| dgjones | ScorpKing, not sure what to suggest, i'll have a think anyway | 20:24 |
| Kibbles | kwrobel2008: to avoid what issue again? | 20:24 |
| twiztr | Thank god for the ctrl+alt fxs. | 20:24 |
| twiztr | ttys* | 20:24 |
| ScorpKing | dgjones: thanks anyway. i think there are some things not loaded on the 7.10 disk. will let you know ;) | 20:25 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: yes. I looked at those solutions too. Anyway, I started writing my own script (I AM A CONTROL FREAK, really) | 20:25 |
| twiztr | Also, what xserver should I use for a ati x1550 card? | 20:25 |
| kwrobel2008 | Kibbles: That the Debian update would not create the init-ramfs properly and wouldn't recognize LVM | 20:25 |
| loa | Friends have you got filter for email forward in exim? | 20:25 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: There's some nice tools on SystemRescueCD (actually the tools are available in Ubuntu too). One in particular, I think it's call sfdisk, can back up your partitioning scheme | 20:26 |
| james12534 | I have tried the 7.10 server liveCD, 7.10 liveDVD - when I boot my old system with one of these two discs, it immediately blanks the screen out - ctrl alt del is the only key combination that works. any thoughts? I am downloading the alternate cd now, but i was hoping I could just use the standard disc. | 20:26 |
| twiztr | I'm thinking Vesa, but I don't want to be wrong, and fuck it up. | 20:26 |
| kwrobel2008 | Kibbles: ( I was really upset about that to say the least as I had spent several weeks just learning about postfix, dovecot, and so forth to get our new email server up and running | 20:26 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: I leave the MBR alone and make my /boot partition bootable | 20:26 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I know SystemRescue CD | 20:26 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: And that's exactly it. It's a CD. The goal is TOTAL AUTOMATION. | 20:27 |
| Kibbles | kwrobel2008: and you built it in a vm? | 20:27 |
| twiztr | I would just google it, but I don't have a gui. :( | 20:27 |
| prince_jammys | james12534: could be ram problem, could be cd burn speed (try burning the alternate at 4x) ... some possibilities | 20:27 |
| pike_ | twiztr: vesa will work for most stuff | 20:27 |
| joy_ | anybody russian here? | 20:27 |
| prince_jammys | twiztr apt-get install elinks | 20:27 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: Me too. It's the MBR on the external HD I'm modifying/writing | 20:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | twiztr: Sorry to come into this late, what was the problem | 20:27 |
| Kibbles | !ru | 20:27 |
| ubotu | Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 20:27 |
| james12534 | prince_jammys: the both discs work in other systems... | 20:27 |
| kwrobel2008 | Kibbles: LVM2 - Logical Volume Manager | 20:28 |
| james12534 | I have an old nVidia AGP card in the system. | 20:28 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: that's my point, why not just do your external HD the same way? | 20:28 |
| * Kibbles wacks himself | 20:28 | |
| david | oh man! this is fantastic | 20:28 |
| prince_jammys | james12534: doesn't matter, sometimes a cd will work in one machine and not in another - try burning slow | 20:28 |
| david | noscript and adbloc plus just work | 20:28 |
| david | damn | 20:28 |
| prince_jammys | twiztr: or apt-get install lynx | 20:28 |
| prince_jammys | twiztr you can google with no gui | 20:28 |
| twiztr | Jack_Sparrow: I have to reconfig my xserver, since my new screen won't display, since it wont do higher res then 1024, and I dont know what xserver to use for a ati x1550 card | 20:28 |
| david | thanks a lot | 20:28 |
| jimcooncat | david: welcome to peace with your browser | 20:28 |
| david | :) | 20:28 |
| david | this is divine | 20:29 |
| james12534 | prince_jammys: thanks. no other thoughts though? just thought I'd check. | 20:29 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I did. I had a Seagate FreeAgent GO hooked up (160GB), the internal drive being an 80GB drive | 20:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | twiztr: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa NO ATI 1024 x 768 to get back basic gui | 20:29 |
| Xman | !sourc | 20:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sourc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:29 |
| prince_jammys | james12534: i don't know about this -- but i've had that problem and had success after reburning (read about it in the forums) | 20:29 |
| Xman | !source | 20:29 |
| ubotu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 20:29 |
| Starnestommy | james12534: I think it might be a usplash bug. Hit F6 at the boot prompt and replace "quiet splash" with "nosplash" in the prompt | 20:30 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I had LVM2 install, so I added the external drive to the volume group, created a snapshot logical volume and then tried to back it up | 20:30 |
| james12534 | prince_jammys: yes, I saw that a couple of times in the forums too... | 20:30 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I received kernel errors and the copy command didn't copy anything | 20:30 |
| james12534 | Starnestommy: I don't get a boot prompt at all. | 20:30 |
| prince_jammys | james12534: worth a try, and seems to make a difference with some cd drives/computers | 20:30 |
| james12534 | Starnestommy: I don't get the menu with Install, check cd, Safe mode, etc. | 20:30 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: That when I read that adding an external drive to a volumegroup wasn't the best idea | 20:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | james12534: F6 at start ot install is what I think he means | 20:31 |
| ScorpKing | dgjones: it works on the 7.04 disk and there's no nfs packages installed. weird | 20:31 |
| james12534 | Jack_Sparrow: hehe, I don't get that far. | 20:31 |
| james12534 | I don't even get a chance to see the menu to hit Enter on the "install ubuntu" option. hehhe | 20:31 |
| stephen-mason | im trying to install a bin file how would i do so? | 20:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | james12534: If you dont get the the first screen then you have a bad burn or bad download | 20:31 |
| kwrobel2008 | And of course, I already had the entire primary disk partitioned, so I wasn't able to at least create the scnapshot on that drive either | 20:31 |
| pike_ | stephen-mason: what app is it first of all? | 20:31 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: I wouldn't add it to a volumegroup. I'd just have the computer's hd using lvm, then mount the external and back up the snapshot to it | 20:31 |
| kwrobel2008 | I am a big mess | 20:31 |
| james12534 | Jack_Sparrow: thanks. I will try a reburn. | 20:31 |
| Xman | can anyone tell how can i download the source code of ubuntu in Windows | 20:31 |
| Xman | ? | 20:31 |
| wgw | (quick test; please ignore) | 20:31 |
| james12534 | wgw: ignored. | 20:32 |

| Odd-rationale | Whitor: quanta web | 20:33 |
| PriceChild | Xman, you can download all the sourcecode from packages.ubuntu.com | 20:33 |
| Whitor | twiztr, NVU doesn't show up in Synaptic ... | 20:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | twiztr: That is just basic mode, you are not yet running the ati drivers | 20:33 |
| twiztr | Whitor: I think it's the best free one, but just Google it, you will find a long. | 20:33 |
| Stevethepirate | Sigh | 20:33 |
| twiztr | long list.* | 20:33 |
| twiztr | Then get the .deb package | 20:33 |

| PriceChild | Stevethepirate, why not? | 20:34 |
| Stevethepirate | Whole system crash. | 20:34 |

| Stevethepirate | Or hang, at least. | 20:34 |

| PriceChild | stephen-mason, no idea then. | 20:35 |
| Moorenkopf | Hello. Does anyone know if asus' pundit P2-P5945GCX run's with ubuntu? If so, i'd like to buy one. But yet I haven't found any information on that. | 20:35 |
| prince_jammys | Whitor: yeah you have to get NVU from the internet, or get the windows version and run it in wine | 20:35 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: I just looked at /etc/rc.local maybe you can run you script there? | 20:35 |
| stephen-mason | when it comes to the instalation dir it says this user doesnt have permission? | 20:35 |
| Acidic32 | hi, how do i mount my nokia under linux, mount dont seem to find it and fdisk says its has free space, but its not free | 20:35 |
| boris__ | grrr | 20:35 |
| Starnestommy | stephen-mason: sudo ./filename.bin ? | 20:35 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: oops, that runs at the end of the runlevel. sorry | 20:35 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: It does run for every "multi-user" runlevel. I saw that too, jim | 20:35 |
| boris__ | how do i tell movie playing application to open a DVD file not mounted on normal mount point ? | 20:36 |
| boris__ | its mounted at /home/boris/Templates | 20:36 |
| kasra | Acidic32: use obexftp | 20:36 |
| boris__ | and nothing will play it | 20:36 |
| Acidic32 | i have /dev/sdb but not /dev/sdb1 or anything | 20:36 |
| kwrobel2008 | this whole runlevel issue is still a bit beyond me, not to mention that it's practically replaced by upstart in Ubuntu | 20:36 |
| stephen-mason | what does ./ mean? | 20:36 |
| prince_jammys | boris:i believe with in the File menu at the top of the window | 20:36 |
| JimmyTheGeek | ./ == run in shell | 20:36 |
| wgw | My openoffice is broke: special character "à" in times roman gets displayed as double cross. Nothing else affected; in bold it comes out properly as à. | 20:37 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: well, I would think you'd be able to insert a script before upstart runs. Only thing is that you'd need support for your external hd at that time | 20:37 |
| maximilion__ | stephen-mason, means: look in current directory ONLY :) | 20:37 |
| prince_jammys | stephen-mason: dot: the current directory | 20:37 |
| boris__ | prince_jammys: in what program ? | 20:37 |
| wgw | Where should I look for solutions? | 20:37 |
| unagi | am i suppose to have 4 swap partitions? | 20:37 |

| gnash | sorry 4 delay | 20:51 |
| Nozavroni | php and python mostlyu | 20:51 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: I still feel kvm would be much simpler for you, you'd be able to run your script while the server's running. | 20:51 |
| gnash | is dat required | 20:51 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: So. What are the odds to get the backup task sandwiched between runlevel 1 and 2? | 20:51 |
| ___Oz___ | Anyway, just drop it, okay? You're wearing me out. Your sermons have not contributed anything useful. I am aware of the guidelines. The reason I've been posting so much in the last 5 minutes is in response to you. Please be quiet now on this topic. Thank you. | 20:51 |

| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: That's great! Can you ship some Maisel's Weiss to Maine, USA? | 20:51 |
| neverblue | ___Oz___, the number of questions is not the issue, its to continue to ask a single question on multiple lines, which fills the channel with a good number of posts, please read the !enter post, it clearly explains | 20:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ___Oz___: If it helps the logs of the channel are available and you can search them for your nick or whatever as a reference | 20:51 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: yes, LVM | 20:51 |
| ___Oz___ | Thanks, Jack | 20:52 |

| kdc1956 | anyone know why my dvd burner want burn dvd but it does burn cd | 20:55 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: I want a cron job that shuts down all services (like apache, postfix, dovecot, clamav, amavis-new to mention a few), runs my backup script, then brings all services back up | 20:55 |
| tom2002 | u there neverblue | 20:55 |
| onexused | PriceChild: thanks | 20:55 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: And yes, I probably could just simply run their respective scripts in /etc/init.d and be done with it | 20:55 |
| neverblue | kdc1956, whats the error, what program are you using, what format are you burning, is it an ISO for DVD or CD ? | 20:56 |
| ___Oz___ | feh | 20:56 |

| Itaku | LjL you own the chan? | 20:56 |
| kdc1956 | iso for dvd | 20:56 |
| LjL | Itaku: no | 20:56 |
| kwrobel2008 | jimcooncat: And I might end up doing that if I don't find a more elegant solution | 20:56 |
| jimcooncat | kwrobel2008: well, can't you do that without changing runlevels? | 20:56 |
| ___Oz___ | He's sort of a "co-owner" of the enterprise, Itaku. | 20:56 |
| kdc1956 | but it burs a cd fine | 20:56 |
| Itaku | who does cuz i wanna voulenteer | 20:56 |
| neverblue | tom2002, what are you viewing this in,its an Applet not an application, correct? | 20:56 |

When I press ctrl+alt+F* the screen goes blank, and I can't get back into X (only hard reset works). It is a known bug, and I have tried all the workarounds I could find (fbcon vesafb radeonfb). This seems to solve it for most people, but not for me. Anyone know what I can do/try/read? | 20:56 |
| tom2002 | it is an application | 20:56 |
| pwnguin | Kheldar^^: just a beowulf cluster, nothing fancy | 20:57 |
| tom2002 | not an applet | 20:57 |
| Reenen | how do I know if have the latest/best graphics for my onboard graphics adaptor | 20:57 |

| prince_jammys | rapha: ubuntu.com, request that they mail you cds | 20:57 |
| desowin | Itaku: and why you need to contact channel owner? just volunteer here | 20:57 |
| neverblue | kdc1956, repeating what you already said, is not answering my question, also you want to include the nick your reply to, as well, you want to post single lines only, thanks | 20:57 |

| Sauron | hello all, I'm looking 4 help about a kernel problem on Gutsy Gibbon | 20:58 |
| kasra | rapha: You should know what packages you need , and download them as .deb files . | 20:59 |

| ___Oz___ | Reenen: basically it's a package of a bunch of things that can't be included in the official ubuntu release, things that make your life easier. Codecs, fonts, that sort of thing. | 20:59 |

| tom2002 | ubotu: ok | 21:00 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ok - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:00 |

| Sauron | Who can explain me (gice me URL) to reinstall Kernel. 'cause after a KDE test installation, I've decided to desinstall it, and I don't know how, the kernel goes out too ! I've copied the kernel files from Lice CD to my PC, Ubuntu boot, works, but the kernel is a bit bugg now ;p | 21:02 |
| moos3 | anyone upgraded from 7.04 server to 7.10 server and lost the ability to boot | 21:02 |
| jamesfree | jimcooncat: yes, that's what I'm aiming to do too, for now. At some point, I will be running dell 1U servers though, and am hoping that there won't be any issues with that. but for now, just an old desktop box that I want to set up. | 21:02 |
| neverblue | tom2002, keep the posts to a single line please | 21:03 |
| neverblue | tom2002, what version of java are you using ? | 21:03 |
| tom2002 | neverblue: lemme check | 21:03 |
| pwnguin | Sauron: you should be able to just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if you need to repair basic functionality. the only challenge will be to chroot into the actual install if you're not able to run it with parts of the kernel missing | 21:03 |
| tom2002 | neverblue: version 1.6 | 21:03 |
| neverblue | tom2002, javac -version | 21:03 |
| kasra | rapha: no need to get all the dependencies shown there , maybe you have some of them , It's better first to use synaptic and select your package , then make download script from synaptic menues. that way you know which files you should get from where | 21:03 |
| Sauron | Pwnguin : ... damn... only ??? I Try it right now ! | 21:04 |

| Reenen | well, some of the 3d apps that I have doesn't run at all, while under win it ran those exact same games | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Reenen: Would you mind posting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the pastebin.. and provide us with a link | 21:09 |

| mohbana | hi everyone, i having major problems with acpi, i had to use this for the kernel and in safe graphic mode for the live cd to boot propely 'quiet nosplash -- acpi=off', i noted that during my whole live session the mouse and keyboard (both usb based) where exteremly slow and the network card (LAN) wasn't even working. I used the 64bit cd and i have a 8800 gts 512. any sort of help would be great | 21:44 |
| bluefox83 | tam, believe it or not, there's a tutorial for that... | 21:44 |

| kgx | whats the best way to list the files that are different in 2 directories (from a console)? | 21:45 |
| wib | hi! a few days ago i had a power loss. apparently some firmware or hardware has been affected, i'm getting usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110 on bootup several times. take a look at the full messages here: http://rafb.net/p/nh7wtF11.html | 21:45 |
| Slart | kgx: I guess you can probably do something with "diff" | 21:46 |
| bluefox83 | yeah, there's like dozens of hits on google | 21:46 |
| neverblue | tam, so the client is linux, and the host is windows? or vice versa ? | 21:46 |
| Bodsda | bluefox83, i can still not find these gnome themes you speak of | 21:46 |

| Andril | i am gonna dual boot with (2) 250 gb drives | 21:54 |
| neverblue | x-fak, are you including extra packages, or is synaptic selecting those for you? | 21:55 |
| feysalus | I do understand it's very hectic in here, does someone know the answer of my question? | 21:55 |
| Cew27 | hi can anyone here help me | 21:55 |
| neverblue | !anyone | Cew27 | 21:55 |
| ubotu | Cew27: 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? | 21:55 |
| prince_jammys | feysalus: what's the question? | 21:55 |
| Cew27 | my menu in gnome has messed up i cant run the alacarte menu editor | 21:56 |
| feysalus | I'm using gutsy gibbon on a laptop with an intel pentium M processor, how do I control the CPU mhz, I have a 1.86ghz proc. and the CPU freq applet on the taskbar is showing 1.60ghz, how can I adjust it? | 21:56 |
| Cew27 | change it in the bios feysalsus | 21:56 |
| bluefox83 | feysalus, that's just what the proc is running at, at the moment, i'm sure it can use it's peak when it needs to | 21:56 |
| feysalus | ok, but it would be nice if I could adjust it myself | 21:57 |
| Cew27 | feysalus, you can in the bios | 21:57 |
| prince_jammys | Cew27: had the alacarte problem. looked forever in the internet and found a fix that works, but isn't very pretty. it involved deleting a library | 21:57 |
| henry_ | how do i find this RealVideo 4.0 decoder plugin | 21:57 |
| bluefox83 | feysalus, you don't want your proc running at full capacity all the time, it'll burn out that way | 21:57 |
| compu73rg33k | Hello, I installed 7.10 on an encrypted partition using LVM and if I run high intensity programs, like watching a film, the computer freezes | 21:57 |
| compu73rg33k | like legit freezes, ctrl + backspace and ctrl + alt + delete don't work | 21:57 |
| feysalus | you could tell me which package to get and I could do the rest | 21:57 |
| PriceChild | compu73rg33k, magic sysrq? | 21:58 |
| mkquist | bluefox83: i doubt it would 'burn out', but it would use more power | 21:58 |
| bluefox83 | henry_, install either w32codecs or vlc, either shoudl have what you need | 21:58 |
| compu73rg33k | and my caps lock and scroll lock buttons blink | 21:58 |
| cal | omgbye | 21:58 |
| compu73rg33k | PriceChild: hmm? | 21:58 |
| Bodsda | bluefox83, cheers m8,.,.im usin Aero-ion just so you know,.,.lol | 21:58 |
| bluefox83 | mkbernard, what i mean is, shorten the overall life of the proc | 21:58 |
| compu73rg33k | and there's nothing left in /var/log/syslog :\ | 21:58 |
| mkquist | feysalus: i thought the whole idea of the M being adjustable was the comp can use only the power it needs, or close to it, to save battery | 21:58 |
| bluefox83 | Bodsda, doesn't aero-ion look like vista's Aero theme? | 21:58 |
| Cew27 | prince_jammys, where is the fix online?, thanks | 21:59 |
| feysalus | mkquist, yeah but Im playing a high res video now and there's some stuttering, it never goes to 1.86ghz | 21:59 |
| Bodsda | bluefox83, dunno m8, i was an xp user,.,.never had the money for vista,.,.and i didnt want it,. (bad reviews) | 21:59 |
| mkquist | feysalus: ic | 21:59 |
| prince_jammys | Cew27: i really would try looking for something better than what i did ... first try running alacarte from a terminal, and paste the error message into google. | 22:00 |
| feysalus | I could adjust the speed in some other distro by right clicking on that CPU speed applet and selecting it | 22:00 |
| Cew27 | the error message is huge and i have had no replys at the ubuntu forums | 22:00 |
| neverblue | compu73rg33k, possible hardware issues, try testing that maybe ? | 22:00 |
| bluefox83 | Bodsda, the laptop i am on now came with vista, i promptly installed ubuntu and i dual boot, but i doubt i will use vista much, i may end up just formatting the entire drive and repartitioning... | 22:00 |
| bluefox83 | the funny thing is though, that this laptop had a lot of bad reviews from people who wanted to run XP on it, they said there were no drivers for Xp | 22:01 |
| bluefox83 | and everything works in ubuntu :P | 22:01 |
| PaTeeLA | feysalus: this might help? http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/11/04/enabling-cpu-frequency-scaling/ | 22:02 |
| Cew27 | prince_jammys, do you know what caused the problem for you ? | 22:02 |
| prince_jammys | Cew27: it's a bug in alacarte | 22:02 |
| Bodsda | bluefox83, thats probably a good idea,.,lol,.,. send microsoft this error report "Program 'Vista' has been removed by the mighty ubotu for the purpose of bringing justice to the civilised world (error101,.Tux will kill you)" | 22:03 |
| boubbin | 3how to sync clocks with 2 ubuntus ? | 22:03 |

| Slart | !info ntpd | 22:04 |
| prince_jammys | Cew27: installing kde is to fix the problem is pretty extreme, but yeah. you wouldn't be fixing it, you would just be using kde's menu editor. i recommend you search the forums first to see if you find a solution | 22:05 |
| neverblue | Gremzilla, so you see the login screen, but your concerned about what happens before it? | 22:05 |

| Whitor | Nikolas|, Try /join #mysql (most my sql is on linux ... they won't mind you are using ubuntu) | 22:12 |

| noodlesgc | is there a channel for people with dell computers with ubuntu preinstalled? | 22:12 |
| Gremzilla | neverblue, no it's almost a new install.. i've only put postgres on it. but it was giving me the problem before that. it works sometime. if i restart lots of times | 22:12 |
| wavy | credible: actually the new fglrx drivers have support for aiglx | 22:12 |
| wng- | credible, every time i install xserver-xgl, it makes my direct rendering say no instead of yes | 22:13 |
| credible | wavy: terrible support | 22:13 |
| kyohe | rus? :[ | 22:13 |
| credible | wavy: and he's not using that version of fglrx :) | 22:13 |
| Cew27 | prince_jammys, i dont think its a problem with the python interpriter | 22:13 |
| rahal | hi there.. | 22:13 |

| compu73rg33k | neverblue: I kinda would think so too, but this computer has been running fine for 4 years, and the harddrive is only a year old, this problem happend just this once directly after I did a new install of ubuntu, I think it may be some of corrupted package or smething I'm tempted to just reintsall the OS and hope that will fix it, i kinda think it may, but that's so tedious | 22:14 |
| rahal | any easy how to.. | 22:14 |
| credible | wng-: in a few forum posts probably | 22:15 |

| woufeigh | svenstaro: yes i have but i want to put linux if i can | 22:30 |
| dZen|n| | eth01: ok | 22:30 |
| woufeigh | and the solution is backup my mbr to put it back if i have to send the laptop to hp | 22:30 |
| svenstaro | woufeigh, wheres the trouble then? | 22:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dZen|n|: Do you have intelhda by chance? | 22:31 |
| eth01 | dZen|n|, uname -a | 22:31 |
| woufeigh | svenstaro: now i've no more trouble i know how to save the mbr so all is ok | 22:31 |
| dZen|n| | Jack_Sparrow: it's nvidia | 22:31 |

| eth01 | ;) | 22:32 |
| woufeigh | Starnestommy: heuh if i save the mbr normaly i can get vista back if i fix it after no? | 22:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dZen|n|: Let me look up something... brb | 22:32 |
| dZen|n| | Jack_Sparrow: ok | 22:33 |
| Starnestommy | woufeigh: did you completely format the disc or is vista still in a seperate partition? | 22:33 |
| svenstaro | woufeigh, youre better off not changing the actual mbr and just put grub onto a usbkey | 22:33 |
| woufeigh | now i don't change anything | 22:33 |
| woufeigh | but my vista reboot after booting | 22:33 |
| svenstaro | thats bad | 22:34 |
| dZen|n| | woufeigh: why would'nt hp take a latop with linux installed ? There where I work we send a lot to hp with only linux installed | 22:34 |

When i put it on root's crontab, the script gets called - it seems to archive the files but it won't upload them to the server. Is it possible that root/crontab can't open sockets ?

| PriceChild | !ppc | ohgood | 23:07 |
| ubotu | ohgood: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 23:07 |
| pingu | prince jammys; graphical what? | 23:07 |
| prince_jammys | pingu: meaning did you do the copying in a terminal or did you use nautilus? | 23:07 |
| MrObvious | pingu: Basically each file has 3 sets of read write and execute permissions. The command ls -l shows the permissions in the current directory or you can specify which file/path you want to see it in. ls -Rl will show the subfolders too. | 23:07 |
| musikgoat | graphical user interface | 23:07 |
| ohgood | PriceChild, ty sir, and your kind bot | 23:07 |
| Gremzilla | oh hey, no it's installed ok. it just keeps kicking me back to the login screen (i think the mem will be fine as it's new and the dual OS is fine) | 23:07 |
| MrObvious | pingu: If you have read and write, you can edit stuff but can't run it. The command chmod changes permissions. | 23:08 |
| pingu | prince jammys : i going to guess nautilus | 23:08 |
| MrObvious | ohgood: You're welcome. :p | 23:08 |
| prince_jammys | pingu did you type something to copy the files or did you drag an icon is what i was asking? | 23:08 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ahorriblemess: Alien isnt the issue.. not like automatix or envy.. alien itself is not the problem.. easy enough to remove with apt-get remove.. the problem is what it does to try and use an RPM PACKAGE | 23:46 |
| ahorriblemess | Jack_Sparrow: ah, what does it try to do | 23:47 |
| hend | Hi, I can't get any TTY consoles. I am running 7.10 (32bit) and have a ATI radeon 2600 gfxcard (running gflrx). When I try get to a console from X using ctrl+alt+F* all I get is a blank screen. After this I can't even get back into X, so I have to do a hard reset to get it to work again. This is a known bug, but all the workarounds I found (fbcon, radeonfb) don't seem to work for me. Anyone know what I can try? | 23:47 |
| nickrud | axod: that looks untruncated ipv6 ... | 23:47 |

| genii | Jack_Sparrow: You're usually better off to compile from source or use debhelper to make a .deb from source than to use alien (in my experience) | 23:48 |
| dumasymptote | hey guys im having a problem with vi | 23:48 |

| ahorriblemess | Jack_Sparrow: If it's easier because you get bombarded with questions, I can just search around and figure out another way. It's no emergency for me to get Lightscribe to work | 23:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | genii: np.. thats for double checking.. | 23:50 |

| none | Stevethepirate: why not join the #ubuntu+1 as another suggested? | 23:56 |
| none | Stevethepirate: and ask them | 23:56 |
| Stevethepirate | none: I did earlier.. | 23:56 |
| prince_jammys | aO|DB-DX: sorry, i don't know ... last i looked at that was ages ago - most required a "rom" file since otherwise they would be illegal .. | 23:56 |
| Stevethepirate | No reply. | 23:56 |
| Furythor | I need advice how I should attach my another hard disk on system if I want to use it as workspace for various things I do (ie. c++ coding, picture editing etc.) | 23:56 |
| Dr_willis | Furythor, power down, install it. fdisk it, format it. mount it where you want. Set permissions as needed. :) | 23:57 |
| none | Stevethepirate: :) or should I say :( | 23:57 |
| aO|DB-DX | prince_jammys, they are legal as long as you have the actual cartridge | 23:57 |
| EchoedSilence | jeffMASTERflex: did you get the PM i sent? | 23:57 |
| Stevethepirate | lol | 23:57 |
| tarelerulz | dvdauthor Will it make it so I can make dvd with a menu that I make the lay out how I see fit. So I could say put a couple of movies . | 23:57 |
| Furythor | well, more likely problem is that which directory I should mount it, since I do not want to use it as media/diskx | 23:57 |
| Dr_willis | Furythor, you can mount it whever you want. | 23:58 |
| babo | where is root user's home directory ? | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | babo, /root | 23:58 |
| Furythor | true, but where it would be logical ? | 23:58 |
| HYPOKRIT | haha | 23:58 |
| babo | ah | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | Furythor, depend son what you want to do... | 23:58 |
| Dr_willis | Furythor, I mount mine to /media/storage then make a dir for each user, that they own, for their extra storage needs. | 23:58 |
| Furythor | well, that is one solution... | 23:59 |
| prince_jammys | babo /root | 23:59 |
| Dr_willis | Furythor, i got anotner mounted to /public - since its a Public samba share. | 23:59 |
| prince_jammys | babo special home directory, not in /home | 23:59 |
| babo | aye thans | 23:59 |
