| pmratpoison | Slart: well, I tried installing the debs and they claim they are for the wrong arch | 00:06 |
| Slart | illriginal: eh.. what's the scenario here? you | 00:07 |
| Slart | you've got a domain? a ftp server? | 00:07 |
| sampoo | is there a plug-in to handle some xine streams not in synaptic? | 00:07 |
| Slart | pmratpoison: you can force install if you really want to.. you had to do that with wine some time ago | 00:07 |
| Slart | pmratpoison: but it depends on if it's a stand alone application... or if it will be working with something else.. | 00:08 |
| illriginal | Slart my company is a webhosting company, they've given us a free domain and I would like to start developing.. I was told to use FireFTP (built in firefox extension) that will let me upload my files to my domain. | 00:08 |
| Slart | illriginal: ok.. and this doesn't work? | 00:08 |
| pmratpoison | Slart: on i386 you just install the debs and modify some post script file. It doesn't have any special printing front-end | 00:09 |
| illriginal | no FireFTP claims that I'm having Permission issues. | 00:09 |
| pike_ | illriginal: any ftp client will work of course. the issue is at the server side | 00:09 |
| pmratpoison | how does one force the debs to install? is this undo-able? | 00:09 |
| illriginal | Slart, in order words, I need to give my desktop and the folder, "website" permission to be accessed via FireFTP | 00:09 |
| jdix123 | I'm trying to get desktop effects to work so I can run compiz, but I'm having no luck. Video driver is ati radeon mobility 7500 w/ 32m vram | 00:09 |
| prince_jammys | illriginal: it's the server that's not allowing you to upload | 00:09 |
| Slart | illriginal: then I guess you have to talk to whoever runs the server | 00:09 |
| kitche | illriginal: ftp server needs to be setup correctly | 00:10 |
| eli | i'm having some issues with my virtual terminals in gutsy. it's hard to describe, but TTY1-6 have all their text pushed to the right so i can only see half the screen | 00:10 |
| Slart | pmratpoison: yes.. you can uninstall just like usual.. you install using dpkg -i --force-architecture yourdebfilehere.deb | 00:10 |
| illriginal | The server side?.. It was workin on Windows. And if I use the Java applet (web based) FTP, it'll upload without a problem. | 00:10 |

| Whisper | whats the name of the sshd package? | 00:11 |

| neverblue | tanner, so you mean while your system is running, you want to plug in a PCIE card into your system? | 00:13 |
| pike_ | illriginal: could it be a timeout issue? if you log back into ftp server and try immediately? | 00:13 |

| Dr_willis | as2, 'sudo fdisk -l' shows that info i belive | 00:14 |
| illriginal | pike_ that was the first thing I thought, and did exactly that. Quickly disconnected then reconnected, but FTP still claims that I don't have the right to access my files in order to upload them. | 00:14 |

| _Oz_ | Hello, Ubuntu friends! | 00:16 |
| as2 | SO my question : i want to do that what is described here: dd if=/dev/hda of=hidden.img bs=7741440 skip=9932 With an hexadecimal editor (like hexedit for example), I looked for the beginning of a valid partition, identified by the string "IBM 7.0" or "IBM 7.1". I found several consecutive partitions, that I extracted into six distinct files : dd if=hidden.img of=diags.img bs=512 skip=26850 count=15063 dd if=hidden.img of=diags2.img | 00:16 |
| as2 | -------------------------------------- | 00:16 |
| as2 | EXPLAIN | 00:16 |
| pike_ | illriginal: maybe do a quick sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME | 00:16 |
| as2 | ------------------------------------- | 00:16 |
| as2 | My algorithm to find the partition limits is rather simple. Starting from the beginning of the hidden.img area, I mount the file using a loop device, I obtain the partition size in 1k blocks with df, and I search the beginning of a new partition around the corresponding offset, in the image file. I iterate this algorithm with the new discovered partition, until the end of the hidden.img area is reached. | 00:16 |
| FloodBot2 | as2: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:16 |

| _Oz_ | Question: How do I change file associations? I want movie files to open in VLC, rather than Totem (the default player). | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, under gnome? right cliock on one of the files - its in its properties somewhere. | 00:16 |

| pike_ | Joetheodd: you can install ubuntu then in addition xubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| Dr_willis | Joetheodd, installing xubuntu-desktop would give you the full set of xubuntu features. :0 | 00:19 |
| Joetheodd | pike_, the problem is I don't want to see what would happen if I tried running gnome on my target box. | 00:19 |
| Dr_willis | I tend to install ubuntu, then xubuntu-desktop, then kubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| prince_jammys | Joetheodd: you can install xubuntu on any existing ubuntu installation, including server | 00:19 |
| Dr_willis | i rarely have any issues with installing all the desktops | 00:20 |

| pike_ | Joetheodd: didnt read your whole question in fact thats exactly what i normally do | 00:20 |
| pike_ | Joetheodd: server install then X stuff will work fine | 00:20 |
| Dr_willis | Picachoo, use the package manager to search. and look at that Linux game tome/Happy Penguin sites . | 00:20 |
| _Oz_ | Excellent, dr_willis. That was it. Perfect! They open in VLC now. Thank you. | 00:20 |
| Dr_willis | Picachoo, depends on what games you like. Ive been playing Yoshi's Island lately. :) | 00:20 |
| Joetheodd | pike_, thanks, I'd just go the easy road except for I'm afraid this box won't be happy with me. Let's just say that dumpster diving could be an upgrade to it :P | 00:21 |
| Dr_willis | _Oz_, yea. its a littel odd how you have to find a file you want to change the type for, to get to the filetype stuff.. if theres a nother way to find that selection/options. ive not found it yet. | 00:21 |
| Picachoo | Dr_willis i would like all famous ones. quality ones. can you name as many as you know? | 00:21 |
| pike_ | Joetheodd: maybe install xserver-xorg fluxbox then echo exec fluxbox > ~/.xinitrc then just xinit to launch if its a very low resource box | 00:21 |

| kitche | Picachoo: umm yes it is well not the doom but doom variants yes | 00:23 |
| _Oz_ | Dr_willis: yeah, there are some oddities in Ubuntu, like that one. Overall, I really like it, though. | 00:23 |
| _Oz_ | Logic suggests that you'd change file associations in one global place rather than within a single example of that file type. | 00:23 |
| pike_ | illriginal: that was it you do not need any additional permission on the client box | 00:23 |
| mark17 | is it possible to see the network statistics for a single IP on my server (every IP uses a different network card alias)? | 00:23 |
| _Oz_ | But... hey... Linux isn't always logical. :) Part of the charm, I guess. | 00:23 |
| Joetheodd | I'm aware that this isn't an ubuntu issue but I'm sure you guys know. I'm using an ASUS P2L97 mobo, and it's got 3 RAM slots. If I have a stick of 64, 32, and 32, can I stick them all in? | 00:24 |
| prince_jammys | illriginal: it is a server-side issue | 00:24 |
| sangprabo | Hi, everyone. I have downloaded a *.chm file, and it seemed I cannot open it until I "unblock active content" by (if I use Windows Explorer) select Properties -> Unblock. How do I do that in Linux? I am using Ubuntu Gutsy and xchm. Thanks | 00:24 |
| kitche | Picachoo: and yes doom engine has been open source for quite some time | 00:24 |
| pike_ | illriginal: open a terminal and try cd ~/Desktop/thatdir then ftp servername then mput * and see what happens | 00:24 |

| K4k | nemilar: it appears I can't lock .Xauthority | 00:27 |
| K4k | how can I fix that? | 00:27 |
| nemilar | K4k: that can't be your entire xorg.0.log file | 00:27 |
| _Oz_ | Just a few weird things like that to deal with, and they're no big deal. | 00:27 |
| K4k | nemilar: no I said that's the error I get when I start xorg | 00:27 |

| nemilar | sangprabo: it will install "CHM Viewer" in the Applications - Accessories menu | 00:29 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, should I chown it to myself? | 00:29 |
| prince_jammys | sudo chown your_user .Xauthority | 00:29 |
| frijolie | just specify /home as the mount point? | 00:29 |
| Jangari | frijolie: it should be straighforward with the gui installation | 00:29 |
| Itaku | it like has a 1 in it | 00:29 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: I own mine | 00:29 |

| sampoo | how do i open a stream on xine when the input message says i have no input plug-in to handle the stream? I think i have all the right plug-ins installed? | 00:29 |
| frijolie | Jangari: i tried that and nautilus didn't recognize the full allocated disk space | 00:30 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: okay, thank you. I've installed it. Trying... | 00:30 |

| siriusnova | hello - can i get some help with trying to play an Itunes shared Library via Rhythmbox | 00:31 |
| jrod | its very choppy | 00:31 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: sudo chgrp your_group .Xauthority <--- let's just eliminate all doubt | 00:31 |
| mjw- | jrod: you don't have gnash installed do you? | 00:31 |
| === Luke__ is now known as Luke | ||
| Jangari | i don't mean the flashplugin-nonfree, nor the gnash-player | 00:31 |
| frijolie | Dr_willis: during an install? or do you just leave it as "free space" where it is automatically allocated to the /home directory? | 00:31 |
| Jangari | i mean actual flash, from adobe | 00:31 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: I reopen the file, and it seemed that I only get strange characters like ËÉÿÅËÉÿÅËÉÿÅ... :( | 00:31 |
| jrod | no | 00:31 |
| sputnick | hi | 00:31 |
| jrod | gnash | 00:31 |
| nemilar | sangprabo: strange.. it's a .CHM file? | 00:31 |
| Jangari | http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash | 00:31 |
| Jangari | i think it is | 00:31 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, ok I did that but it still spits out errors and mouse still doesn't respond | 00:31 |
| mjw- | Jangari the flashplugin-nonfree package is fine | 00:31 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: similar with if I use xchm or another chm viewer.. | 00:31 |
| Alysum | Dual monitor help needed please | 00:31 |
| mjw- | and is the "real" flash | 00:32 |
| jdix123 | jangari - dunno if it was answerred, but hardy is avail as a live cd dl | 00:32 |
| kitche | Jangari: well flashplugin-nonfree is the actual flash from adobe | 00:32 |
| Jangari | i've never had flashplugin-nonfree working | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis | frijolie, in my case i have a filesystem at /dev/hdb1 - the whole disk. That i tell the installer to mount to /home | 00:32 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: the exact same errors? | 00:32 |
| nemilar | sangprabo: hrm, where'd you get the CHM ? | 00:32 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: yes, it came from http://www.supermemo.com/english/helpdown.htm | 00:32 |
| K4k | yup | 00:32 |
| mjw- | jrod what does glxinfo | grep -i direct return? | 00:32 |
| sputnick | anyone have a clue to repopulate my manpages-fr ? many people have more than 250 hint : find //usr/share/man/fr* | wc -l | 00:32 |
| Jangari | jdix123: thanks, is there a link? | 00:32 |
| Picachoo | Dr_willis the mirc beeps the system speaker on connect or message sounds. not the real sound. why so? i hope if i install windows games. ill get the exact video graphic and sound quality in wine too? | 00:32 |
| sampoo | is xine rubbish, and i should install something elso? | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis | frijolie, its allready setup for me - since its my old home. Its not unallocated.. In your case for the first time you may need to format it. | 00:32 |
| nemilar | sangprabo: I'll try it out over here | 00:32 |
| Jangari | for me, only downlaoding a tarball from adobe and ./flash-installing has worked | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis | Picachoo, the 'mirc' ? | 00:32 |
| jdix123 | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ | 00:32 |
| jrod | YES | 00:33 |
| Jangari | and i'm talking about more than ten different installations all on gutsy, so far | 00:33 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 00:33 |
| nickrud | sampoo: xine is fine, vlc also. Some players seem to play some files better than others though | 00:33 |
| Picachoo | Dr_willis windows app i am using with wine. it gives a system speeker beep. not real sound | 00:33 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: Thank you. I've downloaded smhelp.chm, the latest one (2006) | 00:33 |
| illriginal | pike_ it's askin me to login using username and password... how would I do this? | 00:33 |
| pike_ | illriginal: just type your username hit enter then passowrd and enter | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis | Picachoo, you do realize thers dozens of irc clients out OTHER then mirc. :) mIRC is rather lame in ways.. heh. | 00:33 |
| illriginal | oh :X | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis | Picachoo, try the games and see.. is about all i cansay | 00:34 |
| mjw- | jrod: that's odd, youtube should work fine (unless you're on a quite old machine)...just make sure you don't have gnash installed... sudo apt-get remove gnash | 00:34 |
| Picachoo | Dr_willis yes. but i like mric. but the point was the why wine is not giving sound | 00:34 |
| illriginal | nah says, invalid command, pike_ | 00:34 |
| Picachoo | Dr_willis can you give some sites where i can see rated /ranked free linux games? | 00:34 |
| zzza | anyone able to install vimdiff in gutsy | 00:34 |
| prince_jammys | illriginal: are you doing ftp from command line? | 00:35 |
| sampoo | xine seems to be default on mozilla, can i cahnge i to VLC? | 00:35 |
| zzza | vimdiff seems to have gone missing | 00:35 |
| kitche | sampoo: if you install the vlc-plugin you can | 00:35 |
| sampoo | thankx | 00:35 |
| illriginal | prince_jammys, yes... unfortunately even if I can connect via Terminal... I wouldn't know what the heck to do. | 00:35 |
| prince_jammys | illriginal: if so try ---> user your_user_name | 00:35 |
| jrod | gnash removed... i'll load the actual adobe one and let u know what i come up with | 00:36 |
| pike_ | illriginal: type 'bye' then enter then ftp servername you will be prompted for a username then a password | 00:36 |
| Mushrooms | I have a question regarding the structure of linux. In windows, when you install new programs, typically it gets dumped in 'program files'. Is there an equivalent of this in Ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| zzza | sudo apt-get install vimdiff "E: Couldn't find package vimdiff" | 00:36 |
| Jangari | jrod, | 00:36 |
| mjw- | jrod: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree will fetch the correct adobe version for you | 00:36 |
| Jangari | try at first testing youtube having uninstalled gnash, better scientific method that way | 00:36 |
| Mushrooms | jrod: I tried going to Youtube the other day, and firefox hung on me hardcore | 00:37 |
| siriusnova | anyone able to access an iTunes shared library in linux yet? | 00:37 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: no, they dont go all in one place (and in windows they don't either, not exactly) | 00:37 |
| mike16 | hi all i just install phpmyadmin, but i dont remeber setting a password, and its asking for one, is their a defualt, or can someone tell my how to set the mysql passowrd thanks | 00:37 |
| nemilar | sangprabo: it looks like they're using some IE hooks... I don't know if you'll be able to get it to work out-of-the-box in linux | 00:37 |
| mjw- | siriusnova afaik it's not possible to connect third party clients to iTunes 7.x shares | 00:37 |
| Jangari | easy, siriusnova, so easy that i wouldn't be able to recount how to do it | 00:37 |
| siriusnova | mjw - damn :( | 00:37 |
| pike_ | Mushrooms: everything shares directories youll notice if you type 'which gedit' it gives a generic bin path executables are in bin dirs libs in lib dirs generally | 00:38 |
| Picachoo | i have just uninstalled many apps but still i experience slow speed. (speed was good at fresh kubuntu install though). why so? | 00:38 |
| Jangari | mjw-: seriously? | 00:38 |
| nemilar | mike16: http://www.netadmintools.com/art90.html | 00:38 |
| illriginal | -.- claims that login failed. Yet I can connect with fireftp without a problem | 00:38 |
| tumbleweed05 | whats up people? | 00:38 |
| pike_ | Mushrooms: er.. which nano | 00:38 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: is ther any other way to open it? If open it using Windows, could it opened in Linux after? | 00:38 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: a package will place its executables in /usr/share/bin, its documentation in /usr/share/doc, its libraries in /usr/share/lib | 00:38 |
| mjw- | Jangari last i checked, admittedly a few months back, you could only access itunes 6 or older shares | 00:38 |
| mike16 | thanks nemilar i will bookmark thatn ow | 00:38 |
| Jangari | doesn't an itunes library just operate as an ntfs file system as per normal windows file system? | 00:38 |
| nemilar | sangprabo: I doubt it... but you can get it to work in Wine, I'd bet | 00:38 |
| sampoo | installed all the vlc plugins, xine still the default player for some streams? | 00:38 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: so yes in that typically everything is within different folders of /usr | 00:38 |
| sampoo | how can i change that | 00:39 |
| sampoo | ? | 00:39 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, http://pastebin.ca/904934 | 00:39 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: okay. I will try it. Thank you very much of your kind, nemilar :) | 00:39 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: I see. In the "pidgin.im" website there are some instructions to close conversation windows using the Esc key, but it tells me to locate the .purple library first. I'm guessing that because it starts with a '.' the folder will be invisiable | 00:39 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, http://pastebin.ca/904534 | 00:39 |
| K4k | sorry | 00:39 |
| nemilar | sangprabo: np.. hope it works for you | 00:39 |
| mjw- | Jangari no - it's DAAP based. nothing to do with ntfs. | 00:39 |
| sampoo | uninstall xine? | 00:39 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: sorry that should have been .purple directory | 00:39 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: if it's a hidden file, it's likely to be a personal configuration directory located in your home folder | 00:40 |
| quittt | do you know a programme which can read the things for you? | 00:40 |
| Jangari | mjw-: whoa, you're not talking just about a simple itunes library on any old machine, are you? | 00:40 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: tell the other person who was helping you too | 00:40 |
| pike_ | !festival | quittt | 00:40 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about festival - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:40 |
| Jangari | man, i'm glad i weaned myself off itunes altogether | 00:40 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: I see, I should be able to see all of those in the terminal then | 00:40 |
| mjw- | Jangari I'm talking about the "sharing" option that is present in itunes. | 00:40 |
| Jangari | oh, right | 00:40 |
| quittt | pike_, festival? there is an app with that name? | 00:40 |
| pike_ | quittt: yes or ktalk | 00:40 |
| illriginal | ok pike_ i finally logged in... now what should I do?... | 00:40 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: you can see them in a gui also | 00:40 |
| K4k | nemilar http://pastebin.ca/904534 | 00:41 |
| pike_ | illriginal: what files do you have in that dir? what extensions? | 00:41 |
| Jangari | screw that, just mount the whole system in ubuntu and nav to it, and add the library to 'my places' or something | 00:41 |
| Perro | como hago | 00:41 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: enable "show hidden files" or do Ctrl-H in nautilus if you use gnome | 00:41 |
| illriginal | index.html is in my website folder | 00:41 |
| mrMister | Hi, I just updated ubuntu and now flas doesn't work. is this a common problem or am I the ony sufferer? | 00:41 |
| pike_ | illriginal: mput *.html | 00:41 |
| mrMister | flash | 00:41 |
| illriginal | ok | 00:41 |
| sampoo | now i remember where i installed xine and why, when i wanted to play a BBC stream...is there a better solution/streamer? | 00:41 |
| Perro | #argentina | 00:41 |
| Jangari | well, rhythmbox on my ubuntu installation and windows media player on my xp pro installation working from the same media libraries works sweet | 00:41 |
| tumbleweed05 | ok people. i installed ubuntu 7.10 and just the other day my computer won't start up. | 00:42 |
| tumbleweed05 | any reason? | 00:42 |
| illriginal | sweet.. | 00:42 |
| illriginal | it uploaded. | 00:42 |
| tumbleweed05 | it was working great. | 00:42 |
| K4k | mrMister, IIRC it's still broken last I saw | 00:42 |
| Jangari | tumbleweed05: what does it do? | 00:42 |
| pike_ | illriginal: html is text so its fine if you wanted to upload a binary file like a zip youd type binary first then mput *.zip | 00:42 |
| tumbleweed05 | doesn't even load the bios. | 00:42 |
| pike_ | illriginal: looks like a crappy client | 00:42 |
| jrod | removing gnash and loading the adobe player worked perfectly | 00:42 |
| jrod | thanks for the help | 00:42 |
| illriginal | Fireftp?... | 00:42 |
| tumbleweed05 | just flashes the caps, num, and scroll lock light and thats it. | 00:42 |
| tumbleweed05 | just sits there. | 00:42 |
| kitche | tuna: umm if your computer doesn't even power on at all then it's hardware issue | 00:42 |
| pike_ | illriginal: yes. use nautilus or gftp | 00:42 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: ah yep i see it now thanks :) I was going to go ls -a and then locating it from there | 00:42 |
| Jangari | doesn't show anything on the monitor at all, tumbleweed05? | 00:43 |
| tumbleweed05 | nope. | 00:43 |
| kitche | tumbleweed05: soudns liek a hardware issue | 00:43 |
| Jangari | odd | 00:43 |
| illriginal | ok brb pike_ im gonna download gftp, hopefully i have better luck than using fireftp. | 00:43 |
| Jangari | it does | 00:43 |
| tumbleweed05 | dang it. | 00:43 |
| tumbleweed05 | i like it might be the hard drive. but i'm not sure. | 00:43 |
| Jangari | does a liveCD work, tumbleweed05? | 00:43 |
| pike_ | illriginal: gluck | 00:43 |
| tumbleweed05 | i can't even hear it try to load up the hd. | 00:43 |
| tumbleweed05 | jangari: i haven't tried yet. | 00:43 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: windows has hidden files so that you can't mess with the system, linux has hidden files purely for convenience (all those config files get in the way) | 00:43 |
| Jangari | how did you install in the first place? | 00:43 |
| tumbleweed05 | from the livecd. | 00:44 |
| Dr_willis | Ive found so many weird hidden things under windows.. its.. scary. Empty folders that i cant delete.. but are 'system critical' and so forth. :) | 00:44 |
| Jangari | oh, just saw you said it doesn't even load the bios | 00:44 |
| tumbleweed05 | lol. | 00:44 |
| blubb0r | does anyone know a good media player without gui? | 00:44 |
| haxality | Dr_willis, they probably contain OS files that are hidden by windows.. | 00:44 |
| haxality | blubb0r, video or audio? | 00:44 |
| K4k | yea, there is a way to show "system files" that are different from just normal hidden files | 00:45 |
| kitche | blubb0r: mplayer | 00:45 |
| blubb0r | audio.. | 00:45 |
| Jangari | tumbleweed05: old machine, or what? | 00:45 |
| Siph0n | hey... is it possible to hide the network password from the /etc/network/interfaces file? googling for "hide key from /etc/network/interfaces" didn't work out too well... | 00:45 |
| tumbleweed05 | not really. | 00:45 |
| Jangari | i.e., has it ever worked? | 00:45 |
| tumbleweed05 | sony vaio vgn-n230n | 00:45 |
| Dr_willis | haxality, it was totally empty. :) i checked and was able to remove it under linux. But its one of the mysteries of windows. Heh | 00:45 |
| tumbleweed05 | it came with vista. | 00:45 |
| tumbleweed05 | got pissed at it. and installed ubuntu. | 00:46 |
| tumbleweed05 | i'm not a newb at linux. but it's been a few years. | 00:46 |
| tumbleweed05 | install went fine. | 00:46 |
| K4k | nemilar and prince_jammys either of you got any ideas on that log file? | 00:46 |
| tumbleweed05 | used it for about a week when it happened. | 00:46 |
| pike_ | tumbleweed05: i think youll be pleasantly suprised. just dont give up alot to learn | 00:46 |
| Dr_willis | well bbl | 00:46 |
| danbhfive | !info mpc123 | blubb0r maybe this will satisfy you, I just found it randomly | 00:46 |
| ubotu | blubb0r maybe this will satisfy you, i just found it randomly: mpc123 (source: mpc123): Command-line Musepack audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.1-1 (gutsy), package size 17 kB, installed size 80 kB | 00:46 |
| tumbleweed05 | i'm gonna try the livecd. and if it can install just do a reinstall of the OS. | 00:47 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: googling, still a problem with .Xauthority | 00:47 |
| sampoo | anyone help me with basics on how to re-wrap a kernal to enable a touchscreen on an LG tablet | 00:47 |
| sampoo | ? | 00:47 |
| Jangari | although, tumbleweed05... | 00:47 |
| moumny | Hi everyone, Which software is the best vlc/mplayer deluge/transmission/bitorrent??? | 00:47 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, yea that's all I have found as well | 00:47 |
| tumbleweed05 | whats that? | 00:47 |
| quittt | how do I use festival? | 00:47 |
| tumbleweed05 | for ubuntu? | 00:47 |
| siriusnova | ok so now that I know i can't access an iTunes shared library | 00:47 |
| tumbleweed05 | moubny. | 00:47 |
| Jangari | if the bios isn't loading then no matter how you install, it won't boot, right? | 00:47 |
| Lunar_Lamp | !best | 00:47 |
| ubotu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 00:47 |
| sampoo | yes, gutsy gibbon | 00:47 |
| tumbleweed05 | yes. | 00:47 |
| moumny | yes tumbleweed05 | 00:47 |
| siriusnova | is there any way for me to import an itunes xml file in Linux | 00:48 |
| Jangari | in fact, without bios it shouldn't even boot the cd | 00:48 |
| siriusnova | via samba | 00:48 |
| tumbleweed05 | transmission for bittorrent | 00:48 |
| pike_ | quittt: /join #ubuntu-offtopic maybe a number of people there use it i have not | 00:48 |
| tumbleweed05 | true. | 00:48 |
| Jangari | so that should be a good test, tumbleweed05 | 00:48 |
| tumbleweed05 | but i'm gonna give it a shot. if it's the hard drive i'm gonna be pissed. | 00:48 |
| Jangari | yeah, do it | 00:48 |
| quittt | it is not offtopic, since it is part of Ubuntu | 00:48 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, I just noticed this line on the second to last line "(II) Configured Mouse: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded" so the mouse should work? | 00:49 |
| kitche | tumbleweed05: it's probably more then the hard drive | 00:49 |
| Jangari | well, if it's the hard drive, it's more easily replaceable than the motherboard | 00:49 |
| tumbleweed05 | what else do you think? | 00:49 |
| Jangari | mb | 00:49 |
| tumbleweed05 | ya. if it's the motherboard then i might as well get a new comp. | 00:49 |
| tumbleweed05 | macbook prolly. | 00:49 |
| tumbleweed05 | and dual boot ubuntu on that also :) | 00:49 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: i guess, there's a couple of errors i saw -- one involving DRI . But the .Xauth business is a problem | 00:49 |
| pike_ | quittt: i know its ontoppic i just dont know the answer and a few in there use it :) | 00:50 |
| tanner | how can you setup ubuntu to automount eSATA drives? | 00:50 |
| Jangari | or you could try reinstalling bios | 00:50 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: | 00:50 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: does root own that file still? | 00:50 |
| mad_max02 | hello | 00:50 |
| tumbleweed05 | ya. need to find it though. | 00:50 |
| Helvasca | wheres the SERVER list for software sources stored? | 00:50 |
| K4k | no I'm the owner and the group for it | 00:50 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, | 00:50 |
| DIL_ | power source sb checked first | 00:50 |
| Jangari | dual boot ubuntu and os 10.5 on a macbook would be nice | 00:50 |
| sampoo | hello madmax | 00:50 |
| Jangari | except for the whole apple thing | 00:50 |
| tumbleweed05 | lol shut up jangari. | 00:51 |
| Jangari | it should be easy enough to reinstall the bios, because that sounds like the issue, look into that | 00:51 |
| tumbleweed05 | i'm using a mac mini now. | 00:51 |
| Jangari | sorry, but apple sh|ts me | 00:51 |
| tumbleweed05 | k i will. | 00:51 |
| mad_max02 | guys can you help me with something. I installed gdesklets but didnt like them and uninstalled, after reboot I can only see my icons/launchers on desktop like iconname.desktop and the open text editor when I click on them | 00:51 |
| tumbleweed05 | lol. | 00:51 |
| Jangari | not more than sony though ;) | 00:51 |
| mad_max02 | sampoo, hello. sorry I was typing :D | 00:52 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: does root still own the file? | 00:52 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, no I own it completely | 00:52 |
| Jangari | proprietary software i can handle, sometimes, proprietary hardware though, man... | 00:52 |
| Helvasca | wheres the SERVER list for software sources stored? | 00:52 |
| sega01 | i am working on an ipv6 vpn for privacy, security, free speech, and wanted to verify that the most commonly used distribution can connect. http://eleuther.net/ if you are interested. i really need to verify that ubuntu can connect without problems | 00:52 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: is it rwxrwxrwx? | 00:52 |
| kitche | Helvasca: /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:52 |
| mad_max02 | anyone ? | 00:53 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, no it's -rw------- | 00:53 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: sudo chmod 777 .Xauthority <-- and try again | 00:53 |
| illriginal | thank you very much pike_ conclusion is, FireFTP is not made for Linux lol... best to be used with Windows. gFTP works like a champ! | 00:53 |
| Jangari | gftp eh? | 00:53 |
| illriginal | thanks to you too prince_jammys :P | 00:53 |
| Jangari | might try that myself, not happy with fireftp | 00:54 |
| illriginal | yeah gFTP works nicely and quickly :) | 00:54 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: actually not necessary, mine is rw | 00:54 |
| Helvasca | kitche: Im looking for where the list of mirrors is - ALL the possible servers | 00:54 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, still nothing, but I am getting the feeling that it's my vm that's messing up, not my install...I'll try this on actual hardware tonight maybe that will work | 00:54 |
| kitche | Helvasca: it's on the ubuntu website I believe | 00:54 |
| K4k | Helvasca, there are a bunch in there that are commented out, but I recommend googling for sources.list generator and you will find what you're looking | 00:55 |
| prince_jammys | K4k : sorry, though it wont affect anything.... to change it back: sudo chmod 600 .Xauthority <-- permissions were correct, just checked | 00:55 |
| asdrubal | anyone here use dkms | 00:55 |
| asdrubal | ? | 00:55 |
| asdrubal | I need help with "dkms" | 00:55 |
| danbhfive | !mirrors | Helvasca | 00:55 |
| ubotu | Helvasca: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 00:55 |
| Helvasca | K4k: I want to add a server to the list! | 00:55 |
| asdrubal | I want to compile lirc, but it requires dkms... so I have no idea how to do this | 00:55 |
| sampoo | is there linux online course you can take, cos i'm totally lost! | 00:56 |
| asdrubal | dkms is a dell product | 00:56 |
| asdrubal | that makes perfect sense | 00:57 |
| mad_max02 | lol | 00:57 |
| asdrubal | why is ubuntu using dell crap? | 00:57 |
| sampoo | on how to use the terminal window for instance? | 00:57 |
| mad_max02 | I actually resolved my problem :D | 00:57 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, thanks so much for all your help, I'll be back on later tonight and let you know if I keep having the issue on actual hardware. I'm off work now though so I'm leaving | 00:57 |
| celi0us | sampoo: read. search google | 00:57 |
| Helvasca | danbhfive: I want to add a mirror to the list | 00:57 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: ok -- we'll get to the bottom of it | 00:57 |
| sampoo | i tried that, but dont understand celi0us | 00:57 |
| mad_max02 | omg I'm in love with linux | 00:58 |
| Helvasca | mad_max02: :) | 00:58 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, I hope so, I would really love to make this work. I'm trying to make an absolute minimalistic ubuntu installation with icewm and if it works it will have a < 200MB footprint and use less then 100MB of RAM for a full install | 00:58 |

| harveyd | I have set up my laptop to share certain folders, given my desktop hostname to be allowed access, when I go to network:/// on my desktop, i see USERNAME-LAPTO | 01:04 |
| nemilar | Hmm... do you think my mom would be able to use Xubuntu? | 01:04 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: want help? | 01:04 |
| icesword | heehe | 01:04 |
| rxsa | yes plaese! | 01:04 |
| harveyd | where my hostname on the laptop is username-laptop | 01:04 |
| mjw- | nemilar depends on how many bad windows habits she has to unlearn | 01:04 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa can't mount the partition? | 01:04 |
| harveyd | when i click on the icon nothing is shown | 01:04 |
| nemilar | lol, mjw- ... basically I would just be showing her, "this is where you click to launch the internet" and "this is where you click to edit a file" | 01:05 |
| harveyd | even if I correct it | 01:05 |
| rxsa | its no problem to mount the partition via a little widget but i want my vfat partition to mount imideatily after start-up | 01:05 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: is it in fstab? | 01:06 |
| chrisn | hi | 01:06 |
| rxsa | i cant find it there# | 01:06 |
| Picachoo | is there a need for speed game in linux. or alternative? | 01:06 |
| ari_stress | morning all :D | 01:06 |
| rxsa | wait a second, plz | 01:06 |
| mjw- | nemilar then she should be fine...just make sure you install the software she needs. xubuntu is, in many ways, simpler than xp and certainly simpler than vista | 01:06 |
| danbhfive | Helvasca: yeah, worth a shot, I don't know anything myself, but I would email that address if you have further questions | 01:06 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: sudo fdisk -l <---- and the line that says "VFAT | 01:06 |
| chrisn | I am having a really weird problem | 01:06 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: don't pastebin, you can just paste that single line here | 01:06 |

| Jangari | whatsort of flash do you have, chrisn? | 01:07 |
| chrisn | I am not sure, | 01:07 |
| mjw- | nemilar ram is the most important consideration, how much does she have? | 01:07 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: type prin <tab> before your messages to prefix my name to the messages, so i can find them | 01:07 |
| chrisn | but when pages like gmail or youtube are opened I have to do a hard reset | 01:08 |
| harveyd | ok, ill ask a simpler question, I have a laptop and a desktop computer, both connected to the same router, whats the easiest way to get files from my laptop to my desktop | 01:08 |

| nemilar | mjw-: except fluxbuntu ;) but that's way beyond her abilities | 01:09 |
| rxsa | okay | 01:09 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: otherwise its hard for me to spot your message | 01:09 |
| mjw- | nemilar that was for you...and it most certainly is overdue for an upgrade. 10 years is old enough for any computer. :P | 01:09 |
| harveyd | can anyone even point me in the right direction? | 01:10 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: its the device /dev/hda2/ | 01:10 |
| sean | ok Jangari thanks | 01:10 |

| Jangari | talking to yourself again? | 01:14 |
| _Oz_ | I'm in #windows trying to explain to a few gomers why Vista is such a terrible piece of software. They're not very good at paying attention. | 01:14 |
| prince_jammys | danbhfive: why | 01:14 |
| quittt | how do I make stardict read? | 01:14 |
| Picachoo | what are the ways to run windows apps. some i know are wine (app layer), virtualbox(virtualisation).. can you please tell me what are ways. and what are faster and what are slower accordingly? | 01:14 |
| danbhfive | prince_jammys: well, it looks like you are talking to yourself | 01:14 |
| christos | i've freshly installed Ubuntu 64-bit. CDs and USB drives aren't automatically mounting. why might this be? | 01:14 |
| warriorforgod | _Oz_: have fun explaining that | 01:14 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: normally its mnted /media/STORE (its now mounted as well, b.t.w.) | 01:14 |
| harveyd | danbhfive: thanks | 01:14 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa did you make a folder where you want the partition to be mounted? | 01:15 |
| prince_jammys | danbhfive: oops | 01:15 |
| quittt | !stardict | 01:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about stardict - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:15 |

| umdoistres | oh.. the flash is bugging everything! almoust every sites that need flash plugin are incorrect, you know ? how i repair this ? | 01:15 |

| harveyd | then is worked fine | 01:16 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: im okay with /media/STORE (default folder) but i have to choose a new one, i create one | 01:16 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: no i dont | 01:16 |
| sangprabo | nemilar: I've downloaded it, and it works! Thank you very much... :) | 01:16 |

| mjw- | umdoistres follow the link ubotu gave you and also make sure you don't have gnash installed... sudo apt-get remove gnash | 01:17 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa one more thing, in a terminal: echo $UID | 01:17 |
| frijolie | how do you partition a /home directory? | 01:18 |
| Darkmystere | Is there a way to have Madwifi-ng snapshots automaicly downloaded to a dir? starting at a certain date | 01:18 |
| Dtortot | I am in need of some advice/help | 01:18 |
| umdoistres | mjw-: i have gnash installed, thats the problem | 01:18 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: nothing happens | 01:18 |
| Dtortot | frijolie: are you using xp or vista? | 01:18 |
| mjw- | umdoistres then uninstall it using the command i gave you. make sure you close your web browser(s) too and restart them | 01:18 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: echo $UID | 01:19 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: are you running gutsy right now? | 01:19 |
| frijolie | Dtortot: it's not going to be a dual boot...solely Ubuntu on a 200GB HDD | 01:19 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: in a new terminal | 01:19 |
| Photocopy | How can I hide icons from the desktop? | 01:19 |
| Juan | how can i record my desktop audio? trying with sound recorder but its silent | 01:19 |
| frijolie | not running anything, well I'm going to wipe Vista off a spankin new laptop and replace it with Gutsy | 01:19 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: do you know how to partition, at least in general? | 01:19 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: it says "1000" | 01:19 |
| tanner | what do i have to do for changes to /etc/fstab to take effect | 01:20 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa ok paste the following line into your fstab | 01:20 |
| danbhfive | tanner: reboot, or sudo mount -a | 01:20 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: kay | 01:20 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: /dev/hda2 /media/STORE vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0 | 01:20 |
| umdoistres | oh, the problem is gone ! thank you very much ! | 01:20 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: yeah, I know that I want to have 10GB for / (root), 2GB for /swap, and the rest of the HDD for /home | 01:20 |
| Dtortot | I keep trying to install ubuntu as dual boot I have the partitions ready and all and the somewhere around 50% of the installation I get a message that says that I am missing one file and that the installation had to be stopped, I dunno what file that is but I have tried with 3 different dls of Ubuntu from 3 different mirrors in North America and they all failed | 01:21 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: i have to retype it, right?! XD okay, geez :) | 01:21 |
| Photocopy | How can I remove icons from my desktop please? | 01:21 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: and save: make sure there is one BLANK line at the end of the file, by hitting enter | 01:21 |
| Jangari | frijolie: make it 20 for root, depending on the overall size of your hdd | 01:21 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: then during the setup, just do that. You have to set the mount points, so you will have to set the 10gb as / and just set the larger one as /home | 01:21 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: cut and paste. don't retype | 01:21 |
| frijolie | Jangari: 20GB for / ? | 01:21 |
| Jangari | i reckon | 01:21 |
| Photocopy | frijolie: To be safe, 20g sounds right | 01:22 |
| Jangari | i have 20 each overall for entire ubuntu and xp pro, the rest is data, 120GB | 01:22 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: the swap just needs to be partitioned as swap, no need to set a mount point for that | 01:22 |
| adamb | Ok I have a problem, I cant open more then 2 firefox browsers, it just hangs when i open up the 3rd one. Anyone have an idea on this issue? | 01:22 |
| Dtortot | any idea which file I'm missing | 01:22 |
| _Oz_ | dtortot: I'd expect an error on the disc | 01:22 |
| tanner | danbhfive: what do i have to add to fstab so that a device mounts rw and what not? (this is an external eSATA drive) | 01:22 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: yeah, its a textfile, not the terminal, though! (D'OH!) | 01:22 |
| Photocopy | =( | 01:22 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: last time I did it, afterwards by right-clicking on the drive in nautilus and choosing properties it didn't display the correct size | 01:22 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, hey I'm back and on real hardware lol | 01:22 |
| Jangari | i mean, i've only used a small portion of that on ubuntu, but imagine if you ran out of space on / to install some new apps? | 01:22 |
| Dtortot | Oz: I have tried 3 different discs burned at different speeds and nothing | 01:22 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: for my /home directory..it only showed something like 4GB when it should have been 120GB | 01:22 |
| prince_jammys | rxsa: select it, paste it, make sure there is one blank line at the bottom of the file and save it | 01:23 |
| silvio | i | 01:23 |
| _Oz_ | dtortot: it's gotta be a disc problem | 01:23 |
| _Oz_ | dtortot: all by the same burner? | 01:23 |
| _Oz_ | it's either the drive or the disc | 01:23 |
| frijolie | Photocopy: 20GB is a lot...but I do have a 200GB HDD | 01:23 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: well, that's clearly wrong, do you already have ubuntu installed? if there is a last time? | 01:23 |
| adamb | Ok I have a problem, I cant open more then 2 firefox browsers, it just hangs when i open up the 3rd one. Anyone have an idea on this issue? | 01:23 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: thank you a lot, ill reboot now and try... i'm back in a few minutes! | 01:23 |
| thinman1189 | how do I stop privoxy from starting on startup? | 01:23 |
| Dtortot | two by the same burner and one by a different one | 01:23 |
| Photocopy | frijolie: Not my laptop, but thats what i'd do... | 01:23 |
| danbhfive | tanner: im sorry, I don't really know | 01:23 |
| Dtortot | but I have burned lots of things with both and they all work fine | 01:23 |

| frijolie | danbhfive: no it's not installed yet...I'm at the part where I partition the drive now... | 01:23 |

| frijolie | Photocopy: we'll comprimise and I'll say 15GB for root | 01:24 |
| Photocopy | frijolie: Better safe than sorry? | 01:24 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: well, I personally have no idea why that would happen, you should be able to just do it during the install | 01:24 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: yeah thx | 01:24 |
| Photocopy | Seriously.... ugh | 01:24 |
| Photocopy | how can I hide all desktop icons? | 01:25 |

| Juan | how can i record my desktop audio? trying with sound recorder but its silent | 01:30 |
| cferriby | ??? idk | 01:30 |
| K4k | Photocopy, type "gconf-editor" | 01:30 |
| K4k | it's in there | 01:30 |
| NigelS_ | Gary_inNYC: well just dont have such a big / drive, create another partition and adjoin it to the fs tree with mount | 01:30 |
| frijolie | Ok, it says (the installer/partitioner) I have 182642MB "free space" how do I allocate/partition that to my /home directory? | 01:30 |
| Photocopy | K4k: I dont know how to use this program.. =S i hope i dont blow it up | 01:30 |
| prince_jammys | Photocopy: i use KDE - so it wouldnt apply | 01:31 |
| frijolie | just make that a partition whose mount point is /home? | 01:31 |
| K4k | Photocopy, open that program and do the following... | 01:31 |
| Gary_inNYC | i understand that / doesn't need to be that big, but i'm not sure which partitions i should create. /usr ? or a /var? | 01:31 |
| rxsa | prince_jammys: nice to see that one could even be helped on friday night 2:30 am. XD I'll sure come back later to get on the experts nerves again. *g* gn8 | 01:31 |

| chaosrl | hello, everyone, i'm in a bit of a fix. in the last linux-headers update, something happened with my computer and i can no longer save or print things from certain applications. doing some digging around, i believe the problem lies in libc-dev or libc (libc.so.6 is causing the problem) does anyone know how to either rollback the linux-headers update or fix libc? | 01:31 |

| thinman1189 | how do I stop privoxy from starting on startup? | 01:32 |
| NigelS_ | Gary_inNYC: it doesn't need to be any of those - sure you could mount /usr seperately but you probably have no need for doing so - just use any extra space for your personal files, audio, films etc, call it whatever you want | 01:32 |

| K4k | Photocopy, | 01:32 |
| Photocopy | k | 01:32 |
| frijolie | or can I just leave it as "free space"? | 01:32 |
| Gary_inNYC | oh ic, so i should set up a volume partition between both drives for /home right? | 01:32 |
| Photocopy | K4k: I dont see anything like that... =S | 01:33 |
| K4k | Photocopy, apps > nautilus > and maybe desktop? | 01:33 |
| Gary_inNYC | im asking this because i havent used ubuntu long enough to understand its long term usage in terms of space allocation | 01:33 |
| Photocopy | K4k: Theres no "apps>nautilus" | 01:34 |
| K4k | Photocopy, then I don't know, there should be | 01:34 |

| squishy | hey im having some problems playing sound in streaming videos | 01:34 |
| Photocopy | K4k: Thanks | 01:34 |
| NigelS_ | Gary_inNYC: if you want to - the point here is that the unix model of a filesystem differs from the model that windows inherited from cp/m - that is to say that by having all files exist in essentially one large namespace we don't need to care about which bit of ferro-magnetic material it is stored on. All programs you install will place files in /usr/bin /tmp /etc so you do need to think about the greatest extent that they will take up | 01:35 |
| squishy | ok some videos have perfect sound its just others that dont, any ideas?? | 01:35 |
| NigelS_ | Gary_inNYC: having said that many of the items that take up the most space on windows are games and many linux users will install those into their home dir - i.e. they are not provided as packages which will use the standard layout of a linux system | 01:35 |

| Cyanide1 | kind* | 01:38 |
| Drk_Guy | nerolinux | 01:38 |
| Drk_Guy | maybe | 01:38 |
| prince_jammys | tanner: one way is with umask -- if you paste the line here i will show you | 01:38 |
| doremus | K3b? | 01:39 |
| Drk_Guy | or gnome baker | 01:39 |
| tudon | k3b | 01:39 |

| tudon | what else? :P | 01:39 |
| icesword | tune it uself | 01:39 |

| prince_jammys | tanner: *write | 01:42 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: sorry, you just seemed the most apt to help me...do I need to specify the remaining "free space" to ext3 and have /home as the mount point? | 01:42 |
| prince_jammys | tanner don't forget to back up the file if you change it | 01:42 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: or does the free space just become dynamically allocated to the rest of the OS if I leave it? | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: yeah, that's what I would do | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: no, you have to format it as ext3 | 01:42 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: ahh...I didn't do that last time, maybe that was my problem | 01:43 |
| chaosrl | is there any way to install old versions of the linux-headers? | 01:43 |
| tanner | prince_jammys: perhaps another option, xfs does not understand the umask option | 01:43 |
| prince_jammys | tanner: says bad line? | 01:43 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: so partition it to /home or just leave it as free space? Sorry I don't totally understand UNIX filesystem yet | 01:43 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: yep, that would do it, partitioning is the one thing that an OS can't handle itself, it must be done during the install phase | 01:43 |
| tanner | prince_jammys: XFS: unknown mount option [umask]. | 01:44 |
| nix_ | how do i apply a theme in emerald? anyone? | 01:44 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: partition it as ext3 | 01:44 |
| NigelS_ | Cyanide1: the same place you can find everything else, in the repository - just use add/remove apps or synaptic to locate cd burning software and particular software | 01:44 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: then, set the mount point, to /home | 01:44 |
| prince_jammys | tanner mmm never have done it with xfs | 01:44 |
| logankoester | How can I determine what process has the soundcard locked? | 01:44 |

| prince_jammys | tanner first ---> echo $UID in a terminal and see if you are user 1000 | 01:45 |
| Veeger1 | logankoester: The sound link for troubleshooting covers getting multiple programs using the sound card use /msg ubotu sound | 01:46 |
| NigelS_ | sean: that they're ubuntu supported packages, part of the main ubuntu system as opposed to the community maintained ones | 01:46 |
| mjw- | nix_ it should be installed with the rest of compiz automatically | 01:46 |
| tanner | prince_jammys: now only root can mount it | 01:46 |
| logankoester | thanks Veeger1 | 01:46 |
| Veeger1 | np | 01:46 |
| danbhfive | frijolie: it might be that you actually do it all in one step, I don't remember. I think you set it up to partition, then right click, and set the mount point somewhere | 01:46 |
| simmerz | is there a correct method for building ones own kernel from the ubuntu sources? I want to enable PAE on a desktop kernel | 01:46 |

| nemo | or is there a more-correct method? | 01:47 |
| frijolie | danbhfive: yeah, I know how to physically partition the drive using the installer. I just wasn't sure which was the best configuration. | 01:47 |
| NigelS_ | tanner: as root just give ownership of the drive to your user | 01:47 |
| Drk_Guy | nemo, there is a deb for 3.0b | 01:47 |
| mjw- | nix_ what happens when you run emerald-theme-manager | 01:47 |

| nix_ | anyone know why my emerald theme manager doesn't apply themes? | 01:49 |
| mjw- | nix_ odd...i'm back on my non-emerald box but clicking on a theme should apply it (assuming you're actually running emerald, of course) | 01:49 |

| Cyr4x | now system starts ok | 01:55 |
| anurag | Cyanide1: I usually use the default burn to CD option | 01:56 |

| adrian | so whats the feature called | 01:57 |
| warriorforgod | adrian: right click on the bottom panel and click add to panel. | 01:58 |

| K4k | no, I mean what is the command to actually pull up that gui app | 01:59 |
| tanner | NigelS_: still nothing | 01:59 |
| Veeger1 | !flashissues | 01:59 |
| ubotu | 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 » | 01:59 |
| Odd-rationale | K4k: sudo synaptic | 02:00 |
| MasterMel | is there a player for ubuntu wich plays winamp playlists? | 02:00 |
| K4k | Odd-rationale, is there a way to filter to see just what's install in synaptic? I couldn't find it | 02:00 |
| Mushrooms | Question:"Also, if you have already added lines to your XFree86/Xorg configuration file (XF86Config/XF86Config-4 or xorg.conf), you should comment them out and restart X. Since we'll be stepping through the entire process, we need X to ignore the tablet until we're ready. Otherwise, X will just get in the way." when it says "X" in this case, what does it refer to? | 02:00 |
| warriorforgod | adrian: did that fix the bottom bar? | 02:00 |
| Cyr4x | maybe i should do a new partition with the same file system without formatting it? | 02:00 |
| K4k | Odd-rationale, er...nvm found it | 02:00 |
| adrian | well it did but i do i move the icons like move them where i want them | 02:00 |
| Odd-rationale | K4k: k | 02:00 |
| adrian | how do you move the icons in other words | 02:01 |
| adrian | i tried click and drag but that dosen't | 02:01 |
| Jangari | can i stop links to mounted file systems in /media from appearing on the desktop? | 02:01 |
| Jangari | i like minimal desktops | 02:01 |
| Cyr4x | Jangari use ubuntu-tweak | 02:02 |
| Cyr4x | there you can turn off this option easy way | 02:02 |
| Jangari | thanks Cyr4x, i'll look into it | 02:02 |
| Veeger1 | Jangari: yes gconf-editor apps metacity somewhere in there | 02:02 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: X is the name of the server that powers your graphical session | 02:02 |
| Cyr4x | So, any solution to my problem? | 02:02 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: ok. I understand. Thanks! | 02:02 |
| neolith2099 | Any vbox users that figured out how to run a vm in window mode without the status and file bars? | 02:03 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: it's a server because many machines could actually hook up to your computer and view what youre viewing | 02:03 |
| Veeger1 | Cyr4x: In livecd what does sudo fdisk -l show | 02:03 |
| adrian | when the bottom bar is created how do you drag the icon over to the left instead of having it in the middle | 02:04 |
| pocketdrummer | Veeger1: thanks, that worked. | 02:04 |
| Odd-rationale | adrian: right-click --> move? | 02:04 |
| adrian | thanks | 02:05 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: so does that mean anyone can see what i'm doing? | 02:05 |
| Odd-rationale | adrian: You might have to unlock first. And unlock everthing in the way... | 02:05 |
| Jangari | Veeger1: found it, it's in apps > nautilus > desktop > volumes visible | 02:05 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: if you set it up that way - | 02:05 |
| MasterMel | is there a player for ubuntu wich plays winamp playlists? | 02:05 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: yep, kinda like a remote desktop concept right? | 02:06 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: it's powerful stuff -- as a normal, single user you only do a little bit of what it can do | 02:06 |
| adrian | no it works fine | 02:06 |
| adrian | i was albe to move it no problem | 02:06 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: right | 02:06 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: it allows multiple users to have a graphic session on one machine, either independent of each other, or connected | 02:07 |
| Veeger1 | Jangari: great, sorry but I am not on my regular computer and didnt have my notes handy | 02:08 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: I see, that's far more poweful than just a remote desktop instance. This isn't enabled by default I hope? | 02:08 |
| VistaDidItAgain | Does anyone have a good suggestion for a vista-related IRC channel? | 02:08 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: no | 02:08 |
| Veeger1 | pocketdrummer: great | 02:08 |
| Jangari | s'alright, you pointed me in the right direction | 02:08 |
| Jangari | #vista ? | 02:09 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: well, you can log in as another user without losing your session by default -- but thats not a big deal | 02:09 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: if you create another user account and switch user you'll see that you can switch over and then back, and X will be running a screensaver on the other account! | 02:10 |
| CyanideD | ok i need help i just burnt the iso for ubuntu 7.10 on to a dise i go to load from disk on boot and it brings me right back here why didnt it do anything | 02:10 |
| tdjacr|away | Is there a utility to check and repair ubuntu | 02:10 |
| tdjacr|away | KDE and Gnome both freeze up | 02:11 |
| Cyr4x | i'll try this | 02:11 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: I see, I'll have a go at that later today then. It really does help to understand what all of these things are | 02:11 |
| CyanideD | !upgrade | 02:11 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:11 |
| Veeger1 | tdjacr|away: Is that kde4 by chance? | 02:11 |
| tdjacr|away | Veeger1: It failed on GNOME so I tried it in KDE and both freeze | 02:12 |
| Veeger1 | tdjacr|away: Understood, but that did not answer my question.. thanks... Is that kde4 by chance? | 02:12 |
| CyanideD | can someone help me | 02:12 |
| === tdjacr|away is now known as Thedjatclubrock | ||
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: It is the version from apt-get kubuntu-desktop | 02:13 |
| amenado | CyanideD-> what is a dise? can you clarify what you said? | 02:13 |
| Veeger1 | CyanideD: Certainly, please just ask your question | 02:13 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: X sets up the whole video, mouse, keyboard --- then something like gnome or KDE sits on top | 02:13 |
| CyanideD | i just burnt the iso for ubuntu 7.10 on to a disk i go to load from disk on boot and it brings me right back here why didnt it do anything | 02:13 |
| Jangari | CyanideD: you might have to change the default boot order for your machine, though it should boot from a bootable CD first by default | 02:13 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: oh ok is that why it's called xorg.conf | 02:13 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: most things in this set up are detachable, which is why you have so many options and configurations | 02:13 |
| eck090 | hey guys | 02:14 |
| chrone | hello all | 02:14 |

I am running this at a school, and noticed that i could send a message as anyone via telneting to port 25. Is there a way to prevent this??If kids discover this "feature" they can send as anyone. | 02:14 |
| amenado | CyanideD-> it brought you right here? how was that possible? | 02:14 |
| Jangari | his/her normal installation, i assume, Veeger1 | 02:14 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: it's not like you uninstall Internet Explorer and break the whole system --- you have to try hard to break this system | 02:14 |

| prince_jammys | !ask | mattgrieser | 02:15 |

| ubotu | mattgrieser: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:15 |
| Veeger1 | Che-Anarc: not advised | 02:15 |
| Jangari | ;) | 02:15 |
| mattgrieser | !ask ? | 02:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ask ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:15 |
| Che-Anarc | Veeger1 is acrobat reader | 02:15 |

| VistaDidItAgain | Sorry guys, is there any way of doing a windows system restore using linux? | 02:15 |
| amenado | CyanideD-> is your system setup to boot from CD first? you have to modify your bios to make this happen | 02:15 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: It is the version from apt-get kubuntu-desktop | 02:15 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: lol you never know, newbies like myself can be pretty capable of that sometimes. breaking stuff that is | 02:16 |
| mattgrieser | Is there a way to undo an "rm"? | 02:16 |
| Jangari | you should probably use windows to do a windows restore, VistaDidItAgain | 02:16 |
| Maki | tet | 02:16 |
| Jangari | no, mattgrieser | 02:16 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: careful with the sudo, that's all | 02:16 |
| CyanideD | i went to boot menu pressed boot from IDE-CDRom | 02:16 |
| Veeger1 | CyanideD: So the disk is not booting? Did you md5 the download? if the disk does not boot, and your system is set to boot the cd first, you have a bad burn a bad download etc | 02:16 |
| eek_ | hello | 02:16 |
| mattgrieser | fair enough. Anyone else using snippits? | 02:16 |
| cellofellow | Does anybody know a way to open PowerISO DAA files? | 02:16 |
| Joelito | Hi all, what's the name of the package that when right-click a ".deb" file opens a GUI for installing it? | 02:17 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: What do you mean by didnt work. | 02:17 |
| Jangari | CyanideD: do you still have the iso image on your machine? check the md5 | 02:17 |
| Bidou | Do somebody speak in French ? | 02:17 |
| eek_ | i'd like to know how to change a pfd to .odc anybody know how? | 02:17 |
| CyanideD | could the burn speed have something to do with it i had the same problem when i made my 6.006 live cd | 02:17 |
| VistaDidItAgain | I cant, windows isn't booting . . . gets stuck at crcdisk.sys or the green-bar load screen Jangari | 02:17 |
| Veeger1 | !fr | Bidou | 02:17 |
| ubotu | Bidou: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 02:17 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: yeah that was anothing thing i wanted to ask, is there some sort of convention for using sudo? like obviously sudo lets you do anything, so it'd make sense to not use it unless you really need it | 02:17 |
| CyanideD | how do i md5 | 02:17 |
| Jangari | try #windows then | 02:17 |
| cellofellow | Joelito: gdebit-gtk | 02:17 |
| Jangari | !md5 | CyanideD | 02:17 |
| ubotu | CyanideD: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 02:17 |
| mattgrieser | Bidou, probably not enough to say "oui" | 02:17 |
| Veeger1 | Mushrooms: Please also see /msg ubotu gksudo | 02:18 |
| VistaDidItAgain | Thanks Jangari :-) | 02:18 |
| Jangari | no worries | 02:18 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: Gnome shows an empty error dialogue and freezes | 02:18 |
| Joelito | cellofellow: thanks :) | 02:18 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: the whole question about snippets ::: best chances of having someone who knows answer | 02:18 |
| eek_ | i'd like to know how to change a .pfd to .odc anybody know how? | 02:18 |
| kcynice | someone would like to tell me how to uninstall scim?I have a new input method installed. but the new method could not work because of scim | 02:18 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: Obviously it did not alwasy do this since you got the second desktop installed. What other changes were made to the system, and non-official repos etc? | 02:19 |
| eck090 | does anyone else use TS here? | 02:19 |
| prince_jammys | kcynice: normal way of uninstalling didn't work | 02:19 |
| prince_jammys | kcynice: ? | 02:19 |
| eck090 | i cant get voice to work | 02:19 |
| Mushrooms | Veeger1: awesome, that would be quite helpful | 02:19 |
| Jangari | Mushrooms: the convention is only to use it when not using would solicit an error message "you don't have permission to do that? or "only root can do that", and only when you know what you're actually doing | 02:19 |
| JangMunho | kcynice: fctix? just apt-get remove | 02:19 |
| kcynice | yes | 02:19 |
| Veeger1 | Mushrooms: np | 02:19 |
| kcynice | I want to use fcitx | 02:19 |
| Mushrooms | Jangari: ok I understand. thanks! | 02:20 |
| Cyr4x | http://rafb.net/p/SBAfaM13.html | 02:20 |
| JangMunho | kcynice: sudo apt-get remove scim* | 02:20 |
| K4k | where are the programs specified that start up with ubuntu at boot? | 02:20 |
| Jangari | eg., the command sudo rm -R * would be disasterous | 02:20 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: Repos? I just tried to dual-boot Debian, but when I got to the partitioner I decided that Ubuntu is better ;) and quit | 02:20 |
| elm1 | hello | 02:20 |
| Cyr4x | that's from sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda | 02:20 |
| kcynice | ok,i will have a try | 02:20 |
| elm1 | im having a problem using firefox | 02:20 |
| Cyr4x | it seems /dev/hda6 but something is wrong | 02:20 |
| Jangari | K4k: system > preferences > sessions | 02:20 |
| K4k | Jangari, erm...im not in gnome | 02:21 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: can you get into recovery mode.. a cli? | 02:21 |
| elm1 | i am not able to browse when i enter the worded address onli by ip, are there any solutions? | 02:21 |
| Jangari | i'm on gnome and it is for me | 02:21 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: Recovery mode from what? | 02:21 |
| Jangari | well, they're programs and commands to run on login | 02:21 |
| neopsyche | Hi.. i installed usenext.deb.. but.. apparently it is spyware? how will this effect me on linux / ubuntu? | 02:21 |
| eek_ | i'd like to know how to change a .pfd to .odt anybody know how? | 02:21 |
| Cyr4x | so? | 02:21 |
| K4k | Jangari, isn't it in file somewhere on the drive? | 02:21 |
| neopsyche | they said that there is spyware in accounts.exe.. does this still affect me on ubuntu since i installed it? | 02:22 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: I dont know how much help I can be with an aborted debian install...on a dual boot... recovery mode is usually accessed from the grub menu | 02:22 |
| Jangari | possibly, | 02:22 |
| neopsyche | its not avirus. apparently just spyware | 02:22 |
| elm1 | anybody have any ideas? | 02:22 |
| mattgrieser | I deleted a snippits example entitled "date" that pasted the current date. Anyone have the text of that file? | 02:22 |
| Veeger1 | neopsyche: You installed it under wine? | 02:22 |
| kcynice | Jangmunho: and what's the difference between dpkg -r and apt-get remove? | 02:22 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: GNOME will work in failsafe | 02:22 |
| Jangari | snippets for what, mattgrieser? | 02:23 |
| neopsyche | Veergerl.. no installed using .deb | 02:23 |
| mattgrieser | snippits is a text replacer | 02:23 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: I would not know where to begin to untangle that. sorry | 02:23 |
| Jony | join/ suse | 02:23 |
| ogre | what is the directory that contains the init directories? is it /etc ????? | 02:23 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: Recovery seems to be working, Thanks :) | 02:23 |
| Veeger1 | neopsyche: accounts.exe was in a deb? | 02:23 |
| Jangari | Jony: /join* | 02:23 |
| Jony | um | 02:24 |
| Jony | right | 02:24 |
| Jony | sory bout that | 02:24 |
| Cyr4x | http://rafb.net/p/SBAfaM13.html | 02:24 |
| Jony | still, i can't get in | 02:24 |
| neopsyche | veegerl.. yup | 02:24 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: Sorry I dont have any good answers for that | 02:24 |
| JangMunho | kcynice: dpkg will just operate one single package, but apt-get will deal with the dependence | 02:24 |
| Cyr4x | my sudo fscp -l /dev/hda result | 02:24 |
| Starnestommy | ogre: /etc and /etc/init.d/, as well as /etc/rc(0-6).d and /etc/rcS.d/ | 02:24 |
| Jony | who do you do it exactly? | 02:24 |
| elm1 | hello, im having a problem with browsing in firefox, i can onli go to sites via IP, any1 have any solutions? | 02:24 |
| Rolo | very happy with ubuntu, only one problem: it can't read some small files from a DVD burned in win xp. win xp reads them with no problems (with the same computer). Path must be 128 characters. Other files are read normally. Any suggestion? | 02:24 |
| Cyr4x | there is ff id and System BBT | 02:25 |
| mattgrieser | Jangari it's snippits, not snippets. It is a text replacer | 02:25 |
| Veeger1 | neopsyche: I assume it was not from our repos? But an exe in a Deb with a virus/spyware.. I need more info | 02:25 |
| kcynice | i have run apt-get remove scim*,but when i press Ctrl+space, scim remainly can launch | 02:25 |
| Cyr4x | i don't know what's this | 02:25 |
| Jangari | i got that the first time mattgrieser, my silence was code for 'sorry, as i have no idea what snippits is, i can't help', but you might want to try learning some regular expressions | 02:25 |
| hikenboot | greetings all anyone know what package provides ld.so.nohwcap ? | 02:25 |
| prince_jammys | kcynice: apt-get didn't give any errors? | 02:26 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: From cli the first thing I would check is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg if that helps at all | 02:26 |
| Cyr4x | . | 02:26 |
| JangMunho | kcynice: try sudo apt-get --purge remove scim, and log off when the process finish. | 02:26 |
| kcynice | prince_jammys: no. | 02:26 |
| neopsyche | Veegerl.. http://www.usenext.de/usenextde/download/usenext.deb | 02:26 |
| Jangari | anyone know how nautilus can show more that the default columns in list view? I want audio properties | 02:26 |
| kcynice | you mean,i should restart my computer? | 02:26 |
| mattgrieser | Thanks Jangari. I just wanted to make sure! I'm oh so new... | 02:27 |
| elm1 | hello can sum1 help me please? | 02:27 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: this "date" file is just a sample that came with the program? | 02:27 |
| Jangari | probably best to refrain from rm'ing sh|t then, mattgrieser | 02:27 |
| JangMunho | kcynice: log off, not restart. Ctrl+Alt+backspace will do the job | 02:27 |
| mattgrieser | prince: yes it is | 02:27 |
| Jangari | or, reinstall snippits | 02:27 |
| kcynice | ok | 02:27 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: did you try reinstalling the program so you get the file back? | 02:28 |
| ogre | does gutsy come with a C compiler? if not, what is a good one? | 02:28 |
| Starnestommy | ogre: GCC is installed with the build-essential package | 02:28 |
| mattgrieser | Jangari I think i should have used cp instead of mv when I moved the sample | 02:28 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: why not reinstall? | 02:29 |
| Jangari | oh, if you only used mv, it should still be somewhere | 02:29 |
| mattgrieser | prince: I have not tried that. I'm afraid the muchas configuration it took to get it working will be lost | 02:29 |
| CyanideD | the download is fine | 02:29 |
| CyanideD | so its the cd right | 02:29 |

| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: if you're concerned about that, you could try copying the configuration files (though i don't think reinstalling would overwrite them) | 02:30 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Veeger1: What would sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg do | 02:30 |
| mattgrieser | Jangair: I used mv to get it to my actual folder and out of the examples folder, then I needed to change it and rm it, thinking it was still in /examples | 02:30 |
| eek_ | how would i open a pdf so i can type over it in linux?? | 02:30 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: check this --> ls -al | grep snippits | 02:30 |
| CyanideD | does anyone in here use k3b to burn Iso | 02:31 |
| Jangari | CyanideD: how about opening the update manager? it should (don't really know) offer to upgrade your whole system to 7.10 | 02:31 |
| mannytu | no | 02:31 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: or just ls -al if you want to spot it yourself | 02:31 |
| CyanideD | checking now | 02:31 |
| mattgrieser | prince_jammys: ok, i see it... now what | 02:32 |
| kcynice | ok,my fcitx works well now. Thanks very much.all | 02:32 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: also .... did you just move the date file but don't know where it is? | 02:32 |
| CyanideD | nope | 02:32 |
| Jangari | or, mattgrieser, if you want to be thorough, try ls -laR / | grep snippits | 02:32 |
| brazilian812 | can anyone help me solve a "cannot initialize HAL" error? | 02:32 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: is there a file or folder DOTsnippits | 02:32 |
| Jangari | oh, forget that, you found it | 02:32 |
| mattgrieser | prince_jammys: no, I said --> rm ~/.snippits/date | 02:32 |
| Jangari | well then, 'oops' | 02:33 |
| CyanideD | i get no option to upgrade | 02:33 |
| c01100011 | old debiant user, I always default to using apt, not very antiquated with synaptic. Stumbled upon the add/remove programs button in the menu. Can someone tell me about it? (where does it aggregate it's lists and ratings from) | 02:33 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: ok , so it's gone. copy that configuration file somewhere, like cp .snippits snippitsbackup | 02:33 |
| neopsyche | Veegerl.. did you get the link? | 02:33 |
| Veeger1 | Thedjatclubrock: It would reset some basic video settings that might be causing a problem, but other than that No decent ideas | 02:33 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: don't put a dot in front of the backup , and it wont be a hidden file | 02:34 |
| Mushrooms | well i'm gonna be off for now, thanks for all of your help today prince_jammys, Veeger1 and Jangari | 02:34 |
| mattgrieser | It's not a crucial file or anything, I just couldn't find the contents online anywhere I checked | 02:34 |
| Jangari | can't help you CyanideD, its either the disk or your cdrom | 02:34 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: bye | 02:34 |
| Veeger1 | neopsyche: YEs I did, but I dont care to install the deb to try and help you | 02:34 |
| neopsyche | ok | 02:34 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: you may get an error if its a folder and not a file... if you do, replace cp with cp -r | 02:34 |
| brazilian812 | can anyone help? i get a "failed to initialize hal" error when logging in... | 02:34 |
| CyanideD | ok then what program do you use to burn isos | 02:34 |
| Jangari | but one last resort, CyanideD, is go into the bios when you restart the machine and make sure that the cdrom is the first startup device | 02:34 |
| Veeger1 | neopsyche: I dont know why they would have a *.exe inside a deb.. and how did you scan it for virii? | 02:35 |

| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: this, btw is almost definitely unnecessary, but since you're afraid to lose the configuration, might as well copy | 02:35 |
| Starnestommy | elm1: looks like a DNS issue | 02:35 |
| elm1 | thanks but how do i fix it ive been looking at the forums but so far ntn ha worked | 02:36 |

| elm1 | lemme try it again | 02:37 |
| brazilian812 | fix my HAL problem | 02:37 |
| prince_jammys | mattgrieser: after you double check that the copy is there, look around to see any other snippits stuff, though i doubt -- copy if you find any and reinstall | 02:37 |
| Jangari | ah, beat me Starnestommy | 02:37 |
| MrKeuner | hi, there is a problem with my mysql-server-5.0 installation therefore it does not start. I would like to remove --purge it but dpkg gives me error.

| carter | run that in the recovery mode command prompt? | 02:46 |
| cellofellow | carter: yes | 02:46 |
| Jangari | ooh, 'information available', never got that message before | 02:46 |
| c01100011 | there should be some sort of warning if a user decides to hide alacarte | 02:46 |
| cellofellow | carter: in recovery, sans the sudo | 02:46 |
| carter | ok, i'll try that. | 02:46 |
| cellofellow | c01100011: that could be useful | 02:46 |
| Jangari | oh, it's just telling me to restart firefox, | 02:46 |
| Amaranth | c01100011: right click on 'Applications' and choose 'Edit Menus' | 02:46 |
| Jangari | that ain't information! | 02:46 |
| mouseboyx | In gimp how do you move something that is selected? the move tool, only moves selections, this seems stupid. | 02:46 |
| cellofellow | c01100011: but one can always type Alt+F2 and run it there. | 02:47 |
| c01100011 | I didn't know the name, had to apt-cache search for it | 02:47 |
| Amaranth | c01100011: right click on 'Applications' and choose 'Edit Menus' | 02:47 |
| c01100011 | it isn't a big deal, just something i could see panicking my grandmother | 02:47 |
| cellofellow | Amaranth: he already knows, he's just offering advice. | 02:47 |
| Veeger1 | Jangari: You are right.. that ain't right arent it | 02:47 |

| Jangari | are you having a jibe at my sub-standard dialectal use of phrasal negation? | 02:48 |
| cellofellow | lol | 02:48 |
| martin | elm1 should be sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf all on one line | 02:48 |
| martin | then there should be abit in the file which looks like the below | 02:48 |
| martin | request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, | 02:48 |

| sean | Krdc wont work | 02:49 |
| Amaranth | chrisn: that's because adobe makes a crappy flash player | 02:49 |

| Jangari | good then, because i loves my grammar, innit | 02:49 |

| Amaranth | chrisn: Don't use flash | 02:49 |
| yago | does anyone wanna chat? | 02:49 |
| elm1 | ye martin i c that, then? | 02:49 |

| Veeger1 | yago: Sure, go to #Ubuntu-offtopic | 02:50 |

| elm1 | just with the file open, where shud i add the 2 is u gave me? | 02:51 |
| Jangari | mouseboyx: you might have to do something like 'layer via cut' | 02:51 |
| elm1 | IT WORKED | 02:51 |
| chrisn | Amaranth: Ok thanks | 02:51 |
| elm1 | IT WORKED | 02:51 |
| elm1 | thanks martin | 02:51 |
| Veeger1 | chrisn: may I suggest you try tis option /msg ubotu flashissues for a way to get it going | 02:51 |
| cellofellow | Jangari: but in Windows, DHTML stuff can float above flash. In Linux, it just doesn't happen. Most annoying when a website has pull-down menus that end up behind the flash widget. | 02:51 |
| mouseboyx | ok just ctrl x ctrl v | 02:51 |
| trainee20 | jj | 02:52 |
| chrisn | You know... it seemed to get worse after ranting to a friend about how stable ubuntu was lol | 02:52 |
| martin | great glad to see it worked :) | 02:52 |
| Jangari | oh, i see what you mean, cellofellow, i thought you meant as in the bundled flash code blocks the user from (easily) seeing the code | 02:52 |
| elm1 | :-D | 02:52 |
| elm1 | thanks alot man | 02:52 |
| Jangari | chrisn: find out what flash plugins you have installed, somehow, it can't be too bad, then uninstall them, remove them and purge them, then do "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 02:53 |

| daurnimator | how do I remove/delete compiz? | 02:54 |
| Jangari | try another usb port, elm1 | 02:54 |
| cellofellow | kadam: I think XAMMP is something like that. | 02:54 |
| Veeger1 | daurnimator: compiz --replace but ask in #Compiz for details | 02:54 |
| CyanideD | ok i just got the cd to work im on it now. i just have a few questions before i install it | 02:54 |
| Cyr4x | i've tried everything and still nothing | 02:55 |
| kadam | cellofellow: I'll look, thanks 8) | 02:55 |
| Jangari | it should at the very least recognise its existence, unless you have to configure the device on a windows machine, which would bite | 02:55 |
| Cyr4x | even kubuntu installer from live cd doesn't see any partitions | 02:55 |
| Jangari | good, CyanideD | 02:55 |
| Cyr4x | but fdisk lists them | 02:55 |
| CyanideD | i burnt it wron with k3b | 02:55 |
| Veeger1 | Cyr4x: Try the hirens cd or gparted cd.... | 02:55 |
| elm1 | trying jangari | 02:56 |
| norty | how do i edit my path environment variable? i want to add the path /usr/local/pgsql/bin and ive tried adding this line to both .bash_profile and /etc/profile - PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin but when i do echo $PATH it doesn't show up in there anywhere...? | 02:56 |
| CyanideD | 7.10 when i install it will i lose all data | 02:56 |
| orbisvicis | how is compiz started in ubuntu ? | 02:56 |
| Jangari | yes, CyanideD | 02:56 |
| sean | Jangari, that worked, but i had to disable secerity for it to work... any ideas? | 02:56 |
| chrisn | if I upgrade to 7.10 will I have to re-setup my wireless drivers? | 02:56 |
| elm1 | nope jangari no joy | 02:56 |
| brooksbp | What is the command to run a .deb file from the command line???? | 02:56 |
| Jangari | disable security, sean? how do you mean? | 02:56 |
| CyanideD | ok, is 7.10 just like 6.06 when it comes to the command line? | 02:56 |
| cellofellow | chrisn: are you using ndiswrapper? | 02:56 |
| Jangari | whoa, what are we talking about here? | 02:56 |
| cellofellow | CyanideD: actually, more stuff is changed in the underlying bits. | 02:57 |
| Jangari | oh, vnc | 02:57 |
| Veeger1 | CyanideD: Yes the installer formats the / root partition but can be told not to format the others | 02:57 |
| CyanideD | ok so it still uses sudo right | 02:57 |
| Veeger1 | yes | 02:57 |
| Jangari | if you were fine on 6.06, CyanideD, 7.10 should be easy | 02:58 |
| prince_jammys | brooksbp: to install a deb::: dpkg -i filename.deb i believe | 02:58 |
| sean | on the realVNC server on the W2k box, i can only connect to it if i disable authentication | 02:58 |
| Jangari | sean, what did terminal server client do? | 02:58 |
| sean | Jangari, ^^^^^^^^^^^^ | 02:58 |
| norty | how do i edit my path environment variable? i want to add the path /usr/local/pgsql/bin and ive tried adding this line to both .bash_profile and /etc/profile - PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/pgsql/bin but when i do echo $PATH it doesn't show up in there anywhere...? | 02:58 |
| Jangari | oh, i see | 02:58 |
| brooksbp | prince_jammys: tytyty | 02:58 |
| CyanideD | ok the main reason i wont to switch is to give that compiz-fusion a trh | 02:59 |
| Jangari | hmm, you should't have to disable authentication, as long as you authenticate with terminal server client, sean | 02:59 |
| CyanideD | try | 02:59 |
| jrib | norty: the file needs to get sourced. Restart your terminal | 02:59 |
| jrib | norty: or maybe logout and log back in | 02:59 |
| sean | what do you mean authenticate with terminal server client Jangari ? | 02:59 |
| Veeger1 | CyanideD: Lots of fun.. what video card? | 02:59 |
| krammer | all of a sudden my root password is not being accepted | 02:59 |
| shbla99 | hello. how can i disable cron from logging to syslog? | 02:59 |
| Jangari | TSC (terminal server client) asks you for a username, and hitting connect should prompt for a password | 02:59 |

| node_6 | that was my sol'n, too. just wondered if there was a ubuntu-provided way that was simpler :/ | 03:06 |
| eromero | davidof: you probably need to update your grub.conf file | 03:06 |

| LjL | Varanger, well, *our* suggestion (no, call it a strong recommendation) is to keep using the ubuntu-provided drivers. do you know for sure that you've got anything to gain from the "latest" drivers? from what i've heard, there's more added bugs than benefits. and in any case, if you do that, be prepared to have a text-mode only system every time there is a kernel update | 03:12 |
| davidof | amenado, I could not continue the installation :(. I see there is no menu.lst in grub directory (inside of /dev/sda1) | 03:12 |

| prince_jammys | norty: you can only add bookmarks, i don't think you can delete stuff from the menu editor | 03:17 |

| fingaz | any idea's on making ubuntu detect my drives the same way every time it boots? | 03:44 |
| amicrawler | where do i find that | 03:44 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawler, most of the default ones are not necessary and lag the boot time | 03:45 |
| cycom | BigDaddy: smbpasswd is a command line utility. I don't know of a gui way to do this, but I'm sure there is one. | 03:45 |
| amicrawler | where do i find that | 03:45 |
| fingaz | it's annoying I've made entries to /etc/fstab and they mount fine when it detects them right but if it's going to make them /dev/sda and sdb is there a way to force them to stay that way | 03:45 |
| === kandinski_ is now known as kandinski | ||
| usser | BigDaddy: just do sudo smbpasswd -a username | 03:45 |
| asdrubal | fingaz, unmount them in nautilus, then go to "my computer" then click on the drive, and select "properties" and I think in there you can select the mount point | 03:45 |
| BigDaddy | cycom: thanks. I am going to google smbpasswd and go from there | 03:46 |
| cycom | fingaz: I'd say mount them by uuid too. | 03:46 |
| usser | BigDaddy: and type in the exact same credentials u did when u installed ubuntu | 03:46 |
| cycom | BigDaddy: Good luck mate! | 03:46 |
| Veeger1 | cycom: You can see the wiki for detailed info on that.. I dont have it handy | 03:46 |
| fingaz | I can mount them fine it's how ubuntu detects them | 03:46 |
| brazilian812 | its a very basic thing. im sure someone can just tell me how to force install a specific version of software and i can leave | 03:46 |

| K4k | prince_jammys, I got it to mount, do you know how to setup automount? | 04:08 |
| Cyr4x | so? | 04:08 |
| fingaz | prince_jammys, brb see if it works | 04:08 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Marfi: It used to work, untill this afternoon (can I restore) 512 ram | 04:08 |
| K4k | similar to what nautilus does, but not with nautilus... | 04:08 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: fstab you mean? | 04:08 |
| mortuis99 | once i have pasted to the pastbin what do i do? | 04:08 |
| Cyr4x | i've got a partition at /dev/hda6 how to set up it as /home in fstab? | 04:09 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, I guess if that's how gnome goes about it | 04:09 |
| ryanw | prince_jammys, how would i have the backup replace the current one? | 04:09 |
| Marfi | Thedjatclubrock, could it have been an update? | 04:09 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: actually you know, i think can put it in fstab and still have it NOT mount automatically with the noauto option | 04:09 |
| zero88 | Ok. Problem: Trying to find driver for wireless network card. Background : I have a Gateway T2080, It uses a realtek wireless driver, its .exe is the D20246-001-001.exe and works perfectly in Vista. Tried solution : I've downloaded ndisgtk and ndiswrapper-common and have gotten the .inf file from the .exe but doesnt seem to work. It tells me hardware not present. The wireless card is on. So, I was wondering if there is any other s | 04:09 |
| zero88 | olution's out there. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks | 04:09 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Marfi: I also tried to install debian, but I quit it early because I decided it wasn't nesessary | 04:10 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: i can show you that if you give me:: device (eg /dev/blah) , mount point, type (ntfs,etc), and your UID (do echo $UID) | 04:10 |
| Marfi | Thedjatclubrock, it may have messed w/ some configs. =/ | 04:10 |
| erich | Does anyone know where or not the new 4gb Creative Zen will work in Ubuntu? | 04:11 |
| erich | whether* | 04:11 |
| Thedjatclubrock | Marfi: Can I fix confings (is there a restore feature) | 04:11 |
| pocketdrummer | !5.1 | 04:11 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 5.1 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:11 |
| Marfi | Thedjatclubrock, i think theres one if you use the alternative CD. anyone else know for sure? | 04:11 |
| clinton | Thedjatclubrock: try apt-get --reinstall install <packageName> | 04:12 |
| pocketdrummer | Does anyone know how to make my on-board 5.1 surround work? | 04:12 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, device is /dev/sdc1, format is vfat, mount point is /media/disk, $UID=1000 | 04:12 |
| clinton | pocketdrummer: alsamixer | 04:12 |
| clinton | pocketdrummer: your sound may be muted | 04:12 |
| Marfi | anyone know how to convert / burn .img files to a cd? | 04:13 |
| prince_jammys | ryanw: they are text files -- first make a copy of the current one (important in case things go wrong), then cp back_up_file xorg.conf will copy it if you are in the /etc/X11 directory | 04:13 |
| rsvampire | can anybody help me with this inittab file configuration? I need to know what the problem with it is http://krypton.fhda.edu/~lmeade/inittab_cp.JPG | 04:13 |
| ryanw | prince_jammys, thanks man i got it now (y) | 04:13 |
| pocketdrummer | clinton: Yeah, I figured that was it, but I unmuted each and turned them all the way up, but there's no sound from them. :-/ | 04:13 |
| erich | Does anyone know whether or not the new 4gb Creative Zen will work in Ubuntu? | 04:13 |
| clinton | pocketdrummer: this may sound silly, but you'd be surprised: your speakers are plugged into the correct ports and turned on with the volume up, correct? | 04:14 |
| ryanw | prince_jammys, alright so before i end up doing this again, is there a way to send svideo out to a tv? | 04:14 |
| aditsu | hi, is there a page explaining how to update a ubuntu system to fix the vmsplice exploit? | 04:14 |
| prince_jammys | ryanw don't know | 04:14 |
| clinton | aditsu: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 04:14 |
| clinton | aditsu: that will update your system | 04:14 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: permissions you want? rwx etc | 04:14 |
| jay-oh-en | if i have superkaramba installed will it slow down my computer | 04:14 |
| aditsu | clinton: is that all? and safe to do? | 04:14 |
| ryanw | prince_jammys, alright thanks man | 04:14 |
| clinton | aditsu: yes to both :) | 04:15 |
| aditsu | clinton: thanks | 04:15 |
| pocketdrummer | clinton: Yeah, I checked that too. Don't worry, I used to work in tech support. No offense taken, lol. | 04:15 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, yea full permissions | 04:15 |
| clinton | aditsu: no problem, when it asks for a password, just type in your password | 04:15 |
| mortuis99 | are there performance setting i missed? | 04:15 |
| usser | jay-oh-en: if its running with lots of widgets then yes, the fact that its just installed doesnt affect the speed in any way | 04:15 |
| clinton | pocketdrummer: it doesn't hurt to check :) What is your sound card? | 04:16 |
| jay-oh-en | usser, i meant how many widgets does it take to slow down a computer with good specs | 04:16 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: /dev/sdc1 /media/disk vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000 0 0 <--- and everyone can rwx (try after umask=000,noauto and it may not automount) | 04:16 |
| pocketdrummer | Well, I have an X-Fi, but the drivers for that are still glitchy, so I'm going through the on-board sound on my DFI Lanparty SLI-DR. | 04:17 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, what do you mean by automount, like mount whenever present or try to mount on boot? | 04:17 |
| clinton | jay-oh-en: that will vary from computer to computer and depends on which widgets are installed | 04:17 |
| usser | jay-oh-en: dunno, depends on the widgets too, heaviest i had so far was liquid weather, 4-5 i say, more will slow u down | 04:17 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: mount every time you boot | 04:17 |
| Marfi | how do i convert .img to .iso? | 04:17 |
| krammer | what do i do after this tar -xzf nc110.tgz | 04:17 |

| rsvampire | can anybody help me with this inittab file configuration? I need to know what the problem with it is http://krypton.fhda.edu/~lmeade/inittab_cp.JPG | 04:17 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, what happens if it's not present when I boot? | 04:17 |
| clinton | Marfi: rename it? Have you tried to burn the .img? | 04:17 |
| jay-oh-en | usser, alot? | 04:17 |
| prince_jammys | K4k don't retype -- copy paste it cuz fstab is picky | 04:17 |
| === _max is now known as max | ||
| pocketdrummer | Clinton: forgot to put your name. It says nVidia CK804 | 04:18 |

| jay-oh-en | usser, lol dont correct me | 04:18 |
| joshobrien77 | Any one have experiance with an HP 1000 USB Printer? | 04:18 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: you would mount with just sudo mount /media/disk | 04:18 |
| clinton | Marfi: mount it how? | 04:18 |
| Obama | hey clinton, how's the board of directors of walmart? ;p | 04:18 |
| jay-oh-en | usser, are there any other programs that are like that but not as graphical | 04:18 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, o ok that makes sense | 04:18 |
| K4k | thanks | 04:18 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: and it would know what to mount there because of fstab | 04:18 |
| jay-oh-en | usser, kinda like conky | 04:18 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi I have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/93396 but they have fixed it. How do I install the patch? | 04:18 |
| Marfi | sudo mount <nameoffile>.img /media/temp -o loop | 04:19 |
| usser | jay-oh-en: gdesklets should be faster with ubuntu since its gnome based | 04:19 |
| krammer | how to install tar ive done this so far tar -xzf nc110.tgz | 04:19 |
| clinton | pocketdrummer: you might have problems, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/174199 | 04:19 |
| clinton | Obama: what are you talking about? | 04:19 |
| Marfi | clinton, i remember i ran into this problem once before...and there was a program that i had to download. the name has left me, though | 04:19 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: try it after you copy the line to see if there's errors by first sudo umount /media... and then sudo mount /media/disk | 04:19 |
| Obama | Clinton: Hilary Clinton was on the board of director's of walmart | 04:20 |
| pocketdrummer | clinton: Looks like I picked a winner both times, lol. Thanks man | 04:20 |
| clinton | Marfi: since I don't know what you're trying to do, I don't know if the solution has ever entered me! :) | 04:20 |
| clinton | pocketdrummer: sorry dude | 04:20 |
| Spencerical | great...political discussion again | 04:20 |
| Marfi | clinton, im trying to burn the file. if i can convert it to a .iso to burn it, so be it. =) | 04:20 |
| clinton | Obama: ah, you need to realize that Clinton is my given name and has no political association to it, henceforth political discussion is unwanted and is also off topic for this channel | 04:20 |

| Starseed | When is the next release due out for Ubuntu | 04:21 |
| Starseed | ? | 04:21 |
| clinton | Starseed: 8.04 | 04:21 |
| Starnestommy | Starseed: I think sometime in April | 04:21 |
| vontux | Clinton: don't worry, I wasn't that serious :) | 04:21 |
| Marfi | clinton, i tried gnome baker. let me try it on that computer | 04:21 |
| Marfi | *flies off for a min* | 04:21 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Starseed : exactly 6 months from previous release | 04:21 |
| Starseed | ahh, ok | 04:21 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Hi I have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/93396 but they have fixed it. How do I install the patch? | 04:21 |
| Starseed | coming up | 04:21 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: perform updates | 04:21 |
| vontux | does anyone know about problems w/ loosing their mbr and not being able to get grub to appear after being able to find /boot/grub/stage1? | 04:22 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: if it's a security risk you may see it sooner than later | 04:22 |
| K4k | So i still would like to know how gnome recognizes that it's been inserted and automounts it then, any idea how that happens? | 04:22 |
| clinton | vontux: no, but you may need to "grub-install <harddrive>" | 04:22 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: scans fstab | 04:22 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: i doubt it's a gnome thing | 04:22 |
| talcite_ | hey guys, I'm looking for the totem-plparser source code or somewhere to get the 2.21 code. | 04:22 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | clinton - I am fully updated (up to one package which appeared yesterday). Is that the only way? | 04:22 |
| talcite_ | any idea where I can look? | 04:22 |
| === talcite_ is now known as Talcite | ||
| clinton | K4k: it may be a combination of hald and dbus, may be | 04:23 |
| mortuis99 | is this a problem i can fix? | 04:23 |
| vontux | clinton: do that via the live-cd to the device? | 04:23 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: with ubuntu yes, unless you want to download the source, manually patch it, and reinstall the compiled version that you patched | 04:23 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: cant be a gnome thing, will work even with no desktop | 04:23 |
| vontux | Clinton: so like "grub-install /dev/sdaxxxxx" | 04:23 |
| clinton | vontux: I would recommended chroot'ing into your install and doing it that way | 04:23 |
| neopsyche | I need to modify permissions on some folders but am having some difficulty, could someone help me? | 04:23 |
| clinton | vontux: yes | 04:23 |
| clinton | neopsyche: which folders? | 04:23 |
| usser | neopsyche: whats the problem? | 04:23 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | clinton: Thanks but i"m too much of a newb to compile w/out a walkthru | 04:24 |
| clinton | vontux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575 should help you to get started on chroot'ing | 04:24 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: you might have to wait on the next release then | 04:24 |
| vontux | clinton: thankyou :) | 04:24 |
| clinton | vontux: np | 04:24 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche: what do you need them to be (for yourself, for your group, and for everyone else)? | 04:24 |
| clearzen | I'm trying to use my tv out on a nvidia card. It is giving me this error unable to find display devices for screen 1 (my tv). Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? | 04:24 |
| K4k | prince_jammys,[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab | 04:24 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | clinton damn. thanks anyways | 04:25 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: which package is it, anyway? | 04:25 |
| neopsyche | clinton: the folders are in var/www I need to modify the permissions to be correct for the joomla installation I am using as well as allow the web browser to play videos from the folder "videos" on the server using the allvideos mambot plugin. | 04:25 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: yes put a blank line at the end --- picky fstab, forgot to mention | 04:25 |
| K4k | k | 04:25 |
| neopsyche | usser: please see above comment to clinton | 04:25 |
| clinton | neopsyche: does your joomla documentation describe how to do this? | 04:25 |
| K4k | prince_jammys, works now thanks | 04:25 |
| clinton | neopsyche: if this is somethign joomla requires, it should be documented | 04:26 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | clinton: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/93396 | 04:26 |
| neopsyche | prince_jammys: I need certain files to be accessable only by the joomla installation.. some files need to be accessable to be played in the browser like videos. | 04:26 |
| neopsyche | clinton: im not sure if the joomla documentation covers this | 04:26 |
| Talcite | does anyone know how the Ubuntu repo structure is like? I'm looking for development/testing packages | 04:26 |
| Talcite | is there an ubuntu repo for that? or should I just grab the source and build myself? | 04:26 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche: mmm server permissions, i thought it was simple file permissions | 04:26 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: doesn't look like a security issue, you may or may not see it before april, likely not | 04:26 |
| neopsyche | clinton: i think this is a more specific problem relating to the allvideos plugin. | 04:26 |
| clinton | Talcite: go to #ubuntu+1 | 04:27 |
| neopsyche | prince_jammys: the apache server is on my ubuntu box. | 04:27 |
| prince_jammys | K4k: did you try the noauto? it would come at the end in that comma separated list | 04:27 |
| clinton | neopsyche: I'm not familiar enough with the requirements and therefore don't want to give you the wrong advice, sorry | 04:27 |
| Talcite | clinton: I'm not looking for hardy stuff though. I need debs compiled for gutsy | 04:27 |
| K4k | yea I did that, but I haven't rebooted yet so I don't know if it worked or not, but I saw another line with it so I assume it does | 04:27 |

| Jordan | does the server version of Ubuntu install a GUI? | 04:28 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: yea.. one day you'll learn enough to try and install what you want exactly how you want it :) | 04:28 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche: well if they are just file permissions you need to change, i would just need to know the name of the user and group and what permissions you want ---- but i'm not sure that that's what you need | 04:28 |
| neopsyche | prince_jammys: what do the three little lines mean in nautilus when trying to switch permissions? | 04:28 |
| CyanideD | can someone help me with installing the drivers for nvidia | 04:29 |

| Sonja | how do i burn files on a data cd? | 04:29 |
| Marfi | clinton, thats with a .iso image. i need a .img | 04:29 |
| Sonja | halp | 04:29 |
| clinton | RootyRootRootW00: if you *really* want to get your hands dirty, and I mean truly muddy, learn the workings of Gentoo. Before you try that tho, at least learn about it first - it took me four attempts over 18 months before I finally got it right | 04:29 |
| clinton | Marfi: there a .img example | 04:29 |
| K4k | anyone know of an article that discusses how to minimize the size of a ubuntu installation? | 04:30 |
| DG19075 | Got a ? for you audio folks: I have an SiS AC'97 as my sound card....audio quality is rough and distorted even with Audacity showing the levels well below 0 VU. Any ideas for a better driver, etc? | 04:30 |

| Darkmystere | Err i cant get my Wep Key to work in Ubuntu.. | 04:30 |
| clinton | Marfi: ah, here you go: ccd2iso file.img file.iso | 04:30 |
| chrisn | hi | 04:30 |
| Jordan | marfi: you can convert a .iso file to a .img file | 04:30 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche: i normally do this in command line, but it seems that --- means "doesn't apply" because they are folders | 04:30 |
| chrisn | firefox is crashing so badly that I have to hard reset | 04:30 |
| Darkmystere | i put it in and specify hex because i know its hex and it doesnt connect just after a few mins it pops up asking for the key again.. | 04:30 |
| neopsyche | oh | 04:30 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Gentoo: Then I will look it up. Right now I'm trying to decipher a cron script, with little coding capability. I'll check out Gentoo as a good starting point for this stuff | 04:31 |
| neopsyche | prince_jammys: could you talk me through it? | 04:31 |
| Jordan | does the server version of ubuntu install a GUI? | 04:31 |
| clinton | chrisn: you may need to remove your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, but I recommend copying your bookmarks file out of there first | 04:31 |
| O987987 | hi all, what is a good dynamic dns client updater for ubuntu????????? | 04:31 |
| K4k | Jordan, no | 04:31 |
| Talcite | RootyRootRootW00: clinton: gentoo isn't that bad. I hopped from Ubuntu to gentoo on my laptop after 8 months. You can have it usuable, but to get everything working nicely you'll have to stick with gentoo for awhile, and read alot. | 04:31 |
| Jordan | k | 04:31 |
| iter | yeah building everything from scratch sure isn't a waste of time! | 04:31 |
| Talcite | Jordan: what are you planning to use the server version for? | 04:31 |
| clinton | Talcite: that's just what I did too.. my problem was trying it for the first time after buying a Dell E521, which wasn't fully supported in the *nix world yet. | 04:32 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Talcite: So Gentoo is a distro not a language? | 04:32 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche: i'm not sure i can --- i'm reading the link and it seems there's more to it than just changing file permissions | 04:32 |
| Talcite | iter: my laptop's a 5 year old 1st gen P4 with 512 mb ram. It sure isn't a waste of time when you want every ounce of performance | 04:32 |
| clinton | iter: your argument is moot for those who know and understand the benefits | 04:32 |
| Talcite | RootyRootRootW00: yes, its a distro | 04:32 |
| clinton | Talcite: you got that right, enjoy :) | 04:32 |

| RootyRootRootW00 | Talcite: Ah. Which langauge or software tools should I start to learn on for linux? (As a hobby) | 04:33 |
| iter | still a waste of time to build normal stuff from source | 04:33 |

| Talcite | RootyRootRootW00: give C a shot | 04:35 |
| iter | additionally, I would argue that someone trying to "deciper a cron script" probably shouldn't be encouraged to ditch Ubuntu for gentoo ... | 04:35 |
| antonio_ | hello | 04:36 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Talcite: Thansk! | 04:36 |
| jpeterman | Here's a random question, I'm on Gutsy, I've got 8 avi's that I want to combine into one continous video. What's a good program? | 04:36 |
| Talcite | RootyRootRootW00: bash isn't really programming, but that's pretty useful too | 04:36 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: mencoder | 04:36 |
| iter | lol C | 04:36 |
| iter | RootyRootRootW00: definitely start with bash scripting | 04:36 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | Talcite: Ah. Am still working thru bash and early cron (tonight). Next Mysql, then I guess C and Gentoo | 04:37 |
| jpeterman | cellofellow: is mencoder pretty gui-easy? | 04:37 |
| antonio_ | i have a problem on a acer aspire 9420 laptop, regarding integrated webcam, anyone can help me? | 04:37 |
| jpeterman | cellofellow: i'm kinda a nub | 04:37 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: I have yet to find a decent Mencoder GUI for Windows. | 04:37 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: I meant Linux. :? | 04:37 |
| jpeterman | hmm | 04:37 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: do you have good docs? | 04:37 |
| jpeterman | do you happent o know of a gui-full program that can do it? | 04:37 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: not really | 04:38 |
| OmegaCenti | prince_jammys: recommend some and I will check them out, I have scoured internets for good resources. | 04:38 |
| CyanideD | can someone help me with installing the drivers for nvidia | 04:38 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | prince_jammys: I use google and learn as I go. Just NOW I got the Amarok backup script to run ---Finally--- I am full of win tonight | 04:38 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: mencoder and other transcoding programs have so many options, it'd be really quite inpossible to make a fully-featured GUI. | 04:38 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: for starting bash: rutebook abs-guide <--- both available thru apt .... ultra user friendly (beginner): http://linuxcommand.org | 04:39 |
| OmegaCenti | Also, sometimes my keyboard just hangs in boxes that need keyboard input sometimes in gnome. Any suggestions? | 04:39 |
| mortuis91 | i installed GG from FF and am now having performance issues | 04:39 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: there is a gui for mencoder called acidrip, but it's only for ripping DVD's to AVI. | 04:39 |
| mortuis91 | can someone help? | 04:39 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: general linux stuff, huge reference tutorial | 04:39 |
| jpeterman | hmm. thanks anyways, cellofellow. | 04:39 |
| OmegaCenti | RootyRootRootW00: I highly recommend rutebook. REAL REALLY recommend it. | 04:39 |
| neopsyche | Prince_Jammys: im not too familiar with how the permissions work | 04:39 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: ^rutebook | 04:39 |
| iter | yah linuxcommand.org is a nice resource | 04:39 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: just a second, let me get the options you need. It's not that hard. :) | 04:39 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | prince_jammys: Thanks for the tips, I will use them for sure, rutbook? Am looking it up | 04:39 |
| fingaz | prince_jammys, Yo got it working. Took a reboot or two but it's working thanks for the tip | 04:40 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: the first two packages come in both pdf and html, files are stored in /usr/share/doc | 04:40 |
| ComradeMirror` | hey guys | 04:40 |
| prince_jammys | fingaz: good | 04:40 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im in need of some help can anyone assist me? | 04:40 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche open a terminal | 04:40 |
| trend | hello. | 04:40 |
| fingaz | prince_jammys, now I can have my music and video's again :) | 04:41 |
| ComradeMirror` | If I want to install windows xp and ubuntu on one drive I have to make partitions right? | 04:41 |
| etho | right | 04:41 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche : cd /var/www/relevant_folder | 04:41 |
| === etho is now known as |twiser| | ||
| Starnestommy | ComradeMirror`: yes | 04:41 |
| ComradeMirror` | With the ubuntu live cd can I create partitions? | 04:41 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -idx -o outfile.avi infileA.avi infileB.avi | 04:41 |
| macogw | ComradeMirror`: yss | 04:41 |
| ComradeMirror` | or do I have to make them before hand | 04:41 |
| ComradeMirror` | is what I wanted to ask | 04:41 |
| trend | when I ssh into my box, it takes ~30 seconds or it to log me in... I put UseDNS no in my sshd_config.. but that doesn't speed things up.. ideas? | 04:42 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: that work for you? | 04:42 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: apt-get:::: mysql-5.0-doc perl-doc php-doc (perl-doc a gem) doc it up | 04:42 |
| ComradeMirror` | Will the Live CD allow me to create a partition of the drive or will I have to do that before installing? | 04:42 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | prince_jammys: and here was me with synaptic! | 04:42 |
| iter | ComradeMirror`: boot into the livecd and run gparted to repartition | 04:42 |
| macogw | ComradeMirror`: yes | 04:42 |
| ComradeMirror` | it won't mess with my windows partitionn though right? | 04:43 |
| CyanideD | whats the commands to install java | 04:43 |
| |twiser| | it allos you ComradeMirror` | 04:43 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay thanks | 04:43 |
| Docfxit | I'd like to create a bootable floppy. When I use sudo gurb-install /dev/fd0 I get an error saying /dev/fd0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. How can I fix that. | 04:43 |
| iter | ComradeMirror`: generally speaking, no but repartitioning always carries some risk | 04:43 |
| prince_jammys | RootyRootRootW00: all html browsable, pdf printable, all stored /usr/share/doc/blahblah find them after install and load into web browser | 04:43 |
| ComradeMirror` | hmmm | 04:43 |
| jpeterman | cellofellow, i haven't used it yet, i'm still converting from flv to avi. thanks though! :) | 04:43 |
| ComradeMirror` | iter what is the worst case? | 04:43 |
| iter | you lose stuff not backed up | 04:43 |
| macogw | CyanideD: sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre | 04:43 |
| ComradeMirror` | hmmm | 04:43 |
| prince_jammys | neopsyche: i'll be right back | 04:44 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: you could do all of that in one command. | 04:44 |
| ComradeMirror` | I'm willing to take the risk | 04:44 |
| macogw | CyanideD: thatll get you the java runtime so you can run programs. if you mean to write them get -jdk too | 04:44 |
| iter | yeah usually it's cool | 04:44 |
| ComradeMirror` | I recently formatted anyways | 04:44 |
| |twiser| | i used acronis disc manager | 04:44 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: which codec are you using for the AVI's? xvid? | 04:44 |
| iter | I've used gparted dozens of times w/no prob | 04:44 |
| ComradeMirror` | it will obviously partition the free space right | 04:44 |
| ComradeMirror` | even if the free space is part of the current partition | 04:44 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im sorry I don't really do this often | 04:44 |
| jpeterman | cellofellow, that's a good question. i'm not sure, i downloaded flv's from youtube and im converting them into avi with whatever codec www.zamzar.com uses | 04:44 |
| jpeterman | not sure if they even use divx/xvid | 04:45 |
| iter | you can shrink the current partition, create a new partition, and install to that partition | 04:45 |
| ComradeMirror` | with the live disk? | 04:45 |
| ComradeMirror` | or just before hand | 04:45 |
| iter | yes with the livecd | 04:45 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then cool | 04:45 |
| iter | however.. this will overwrite your mbr | 04:45 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | prince_jammys: installling | 04:45 |
| ComradeMirror` | mbr? | 04:45 |
| iter | so know how to fix that should you want the windows mbr back | 04:45 |
| ComradeMirror` | mbr? | 04:45 |
| iter | (basically, boot to windows recovery mode from cd and issue fixmbr) | 04:46 |
| yanger | hi, getting odd messages in dmesg: [531963.792504] printk: 1 messages suppressed. | [531963.792512] MD5 Hash NOT expected but found (71.10.xxx.xx, 1283)->(192.168.0.2, 8990) .. any ideas? | 04:46 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: try this script: http://cellofellow.homelinux.net/flv2asp | 04:46 |
| ComradeMirror` | iter is it hard? | 04:46 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | prince_jammys: Can you tell me why this shell script defaults to my home directory and not to tthe external drive I'm wanting it to point at? | 04:46 |
| ComradeMirror` | its just a normal windows install cd right? | 04:46 |
| jpeterman | hmm im sorry cellofellow i don't understand it. :/ | 04:46 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: converts flv to avi MPEG4 ASP with two codec choices: ffmpeg or xvid. | 04:46 |
| iter | yes | 04:46 |
| jpeterman | oh | 04:46 |
| ComradeMirror` | and I would boot up this way how? | 04:47 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: download it and put it in ~/bin/ | 04:47 |
| iter | not hard, boot from normal windows install cd to recovery console | 04:47 |
| iter | then run 'fixmbr' (if we are talking about XP) | 04:47 |
| ComradeMirror` | so what does this fixmbr do? | 04:47 |
| jpeterman | ok | 04:47 |
| iter | replaces the MBR you replaced with the default windows mbr | 04:47 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: also run chmod +x bin/flv2asp | 04:48 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay sorry for asking what does MBR do? | 04:48 |
| ComradeMirror` | does it affect linux if I replace the MBR? | 04:48 |
| iter | mbr is a pointer to the boot partition on the hard drive | 04:48 |
| neopsyche | prince_jammeys: ok | 04:48 |
| ComradeMirror` | ohh | 04:48 |
| jpeterman | done | 04:48 |
| iter | well.. think of it that way at least | 04:48 |
| iter | it's a little more complicated but that's the gist | 04:48 |
| iter | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mbr | 04:49 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: the command syntax for flv2asp is `flv2asp -[xvid|ffpeg] infile.flv` | 04:49 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: produces infile.avi | 04:49 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | prince_jammys: I installed rutebook. Am opening it now | 04:50 |
| ComradeMirror` | it doesn't affect linux though when I do the mbr thing yes? | 04:50 |
| jpeterman | cellofellow, and just follow yourprevious command to put multiple videos into infile.avi? | 04:50 |
| iter | yes of course it will | 04:50 |
| ComradeMirror` | what would it do? | 04:50 |
| iter | when you install ubuntu to your 2nd partition, you are going to install a boot manger, probably GRUB | 04:50 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: yes | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | please message em | 04:50 |
| iter | into the MBR | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | me | 04:50 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: you need mencoder to get both of these to work. :) | 04:50 |
| iter | which will allow you to boot to either windows or ubuntu | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | anyone | 04:50 |
| neopsyche | ping | 04:50 |
| jpeterman | i got it from the repositories | 04:50 |
| iter | now if you delete ubuntu and want to go back to your original setup you should replace the mbr | 04:51 |
| iter | with the windows one | 04:51 |
| neopsyche | what is ubuntu | 04:51 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 04:51 |
| SasukeUchiha | shut up iter | 04:51 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: and LAME MP3 codec and XviD MPEG4 codec. | 04:51 |
| === SasukeUchiha is now known as Glazseesi | ||
| ComradeMirror` | I can't switch between them? | 04:51 |

| neopsyche | ping | 04:51 |

| neopsyche | what is ubuntu | 04:51 |
| ComradeMirror` | so if I want ubuntu gone I delete it then replace the mbr | 04:51 |
| neopsyche | hello | 04:51 |
| iter | exactly | 04:51 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | neopsyche: what do u mean? | 04:51 |

| ComradeMirror` | okay then | 04:52 |
| ComradeMirror` | I'll be sure to save this convo | 04:52 |
| ComradeMirror` | you've been a big help | 04:52 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: I know that the command line isn't what you wanted. But video encoding works so much better with the command line. | 04:52 |
| iter | np :) | 04:52 |
| neopsyche | thansk rootyrootrootWOO: just testing autocomplete script | 04:52 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | neopsyche: please clarify your question | 04:52 |
| jpeterman | i know, it just takes some patience for me to figure out. thanks for helping me out | 04:52 |
| RootyRootRootW00 | neopsyche: lol | 04:52 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: use this command to join FLV files: mencoder -ovc copy -oac copy -of lavf -idx -o c.flv a.flv b.flv | 04:52 |
| amicrawle | hey guys i hosed my services | 04:53 |
| cellofellow | jpeterman: almost the same as the AVI one, but the -of lavf stuff makes it so it uses the FLV instead of AVI format. | 04:53 |
| EnsGabe | Heyo- my processor isn't scaling at the moment- I've got the governor set to performance and have the processors loaded, but it's still clocked all the way down | 04:53 |

| amicrawle | i can;t get back in to my system is there a how to for this to get back to default | 04:53 |
| pawan | hi | 04:53 |

| iter | ah 5gb then | 04:55 |
| ComradeMirror` | the 120 being two combined drives | 04:55 |
| iter | oh | 04:55 |
| iter | on the drive you're thinking about partitioning, how much space | 04:55 |
| ComradeMirror` | it wouldn't happen to be possible to make a partition that uses multiple drives | 04:55 |
| iter | no | 04:55 |
| ComradeMirror` | one of them has 12free gbs the other has 8 | 04:56 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle, use the recovery cd | 04:56 |

| cybermad | my client need to send document with images, but they need to compress the image, how to do that in ubuntu? | 05:00 |
| ComradeMirror` | will I beable to access NTFS drives | 05:00 |

| pawan | ubuntu is installed but not displaying on startup | 05:06 |

| gold44 | how to fix master boot record? hda1==win xp, hda2==ubuntu. in win xp i deleted hda2 partition. now no can start xp. | 05:06 |
| Alangara | can i use cron jobs to open only the website? | 05:06 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: wget will just download page, a file , or an entire web site | 05:06 |
| mkquist | gold44: just start w/ur windows disk and fixmbr | 05:07 |
| pawan | ubuntu was installed in my system and then i installed winxp | 05:07 |
| iter | gold44: lol I just covered this w/someone else.. boot to windows cd, recovery console, run 'fixmbr' | 05:07 |
| blazinfire | well the one problem i have is my connection will go down every so often for some reason. i just need to make sure i can pick up the download later if i was to get disconnected | 05:07 |
| mkquist | gold44: but this really isnt #windows | 05:07 |
| pawan | and after restart it removed the ubuntu entry | 05:07 |
| pawan | how to reenable it | 05:07 |
| mkquist | pawan: just reinstall grub | 05:07 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: wget will continue interrupted downloads EVEN AFTER you log out! | 05:07 |
| amicrawle | say dev/null permissiondenied what the message sayes when i log in my user | 05:07 |
| gold44 | mkquist: i was trying bootcfg /rebuild and fixboot command on xp disk. hm... let me try again | 05:07 |
| Soylent | Hi, does anyone have experience with having to use OSS to hear sound because you have a creative labs extreme audio sound card that alsa doesn't support? I need some help. | 05:07 |
| blazinfire | ahh cool | 05:07 |
| CyanideD | Warriorforgod | 05:07 |
| pawan | how to reinstall grub | 05:08 |
| pocketdrummer | gold44: You can fix your windows boot loader by booting from the disc, entering repair mode, then typing fixmbr. I'm not sure about grub though | 05:08 |
| mkquist | gold44 - just use fixmbr or fix boot, see which one does it for you | 05:08 |
| * neolith2099 reinstalled grub yesterday | 05:08 | |
| iter | pawan: grub-install /dev/hda | 05:08 |
| amicrawle | say dev/null permissiondenied what the message sayes when i log in my user | 05:08 |
| gold44 | iter: yeah, i was going to wipe xp anyway, all data were on backup | 05:08 |
| iter | gold44: no need it's all there still | 05:08 |
| pawan | currently i am in winxp | 05:08 |
| chrisn | what should I do about firefox causing the kernel to crash? | 05:08 |
| amicrawle | can this be fixed | 05:08 |
| pawan | can start ubuntu | 05:09 |
| pawan | cant | 05:09 |
| prince_jammys | blazinfire: i'm sure there are gui's too -- wget is pretty straight forward unless you have fancy requirements -- it can also download a list of files from a list, etc. all kinds of stuff | 05:09 |
| iter | pawan: boot to ubuntu livecd | 05:09 |
| mkquist | pawan: u can just reinstall grub, dont have to reinstall whole o/s | 05:09 |
| warriorforgod | CyanideD: yes? | 05:09 |
| Starnestommy | amicrawle: try sudo chmod a+r /dev/null | 05:09 |

| blazinfire | yea i just messed around with it. i manually disabled the connection and started it back up it works | 05:09 |

| warriorforgod | CyanideD: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings | 05:11 |
| gold44 | mkquist: mandrake 8 or 9 had an option to recover old boot record. it works. i ve tried that before. but i guess ubuntu no more | 05:11 |
| gold44 | thanks everyone | 05:11 |
| Soylent | Does anyone have experience fixing sound for a creative labs xtreme music card that uses the 20k1 chipset (one alsa doesn't support)? | 05:11 |
| iter | rkj: copy past the url from your browser location bar | 05:12 |
| mkquist | gold44: did not know that... interesting. farely new to linux myself, little redhat, mostly ubuntu | 05:12 |
| mkquist | !sound | 05:12 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:12 |
| Alangara | my main reason is i dont know what the command would be to add to the current command | 05:13 |
| mkquist | Soylent: try the secon page listed | 05:13 |
| mkquist | *second | 05:13 |
| rkj | iter, ok I think what you need to know is: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56038/ | 05:13 |
| CyanideD | ok installed now how do i get to them | 05:13 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle, the out put of that command should like this | 05:13 |
| neolith2099 | crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2008-02-14 17:40 /dev/null | 05:13 |
| Alangara | mkquist: i figured out how to have a webpage start on login | 05:13 |
| mkquist | Alangara: how did you do it? | 05:13 |
| Soylent | like i said | 05:13 |
| Soylent | alsa doesn't support my 20k1 chipset | 05:13 |
| mkquist | Soylent: ic my bad | 05:14 |
| jordan | Soylent, So are you trying to get OSS working? | 05:14 |
| Soylent | I have OSS and it made it so sound is audible but I am at a loss when it comes to changing volume | 05:14 |
| CyanideD | Warrorforgod | 05:14 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle, with a few other number..but the first part is the important thing | 05:14 |
| Soylent | The deal is that the volume control has a red circle and an X | 05:14 |
| iter | rkj: got it... ok does that exact command work when you issue it from the shell ? | 05:14 |
| amicrawle | neo can you pm me kind of hard to see all of this | 05:15 |
| Alangara | mkquist: System> Preferences > Sessions > start-up programs > Add... >browse for the .url file | 05:15 |
| Soylent | I can change volume from ossxmix, but I would like a way to set my shortcuts to change the volume | 05:15 |
| Soylent | (for my media keys) | 05:15 |
| mkquist | Alangara: nice | 05:15 |
| Soylent | Sorry, i probably should have given a better description of my problem up front | 05:15 |
| neolith2099 | anybody know of any nice pidgin smiley themes? | 05:16 |
| rkj | iter yup | 05:16 |
| Alangara | mkquist: "/home/drake/webpage.url" would be what it shows if you placed it in the document folder | 05:16 |
| iter | rkj: what are the permissions of the destination directory | 05:16 |
| gold44 | hey hey hey, my windows works!!! | 05:16 |
| iter | gold44: :) | 05:16 |
| Alangara | now i just have to figure out how to force it to open in a specific desktop | 05:17 |
| amicrawle | so how do i get get root permmison | 05:17 |
| chrisn | Is anyone else having the problem where firefox crashes but also makes the system inoperable? | 05:17 |
| mkquist | gold44: lol good,good | 05:17 |
| prince_jammys | amicrawle: sudo command | 05:17 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle: su | 05:17 |
| amicrawle | i can not even log into my user with out | 05:17 |
| prince_jammys | amicrawle: where command is whatever you want | 05:17 |
| amicrawle | getting the message | 05:17 |
| CyanideD | Warrorforgod you there | 05:17 |
| jordan | Soylent, try ossmix | 05:18 |
| Soylent | ossxmix? | 05:18 |
| jordan | Soylent, For changing the volume with OSS, I think that is the OSS mixer | 05:18 |
| Soylent | Right | 05:18 |
| iter | rkj: ls -l /home/rkj/mp3/Radio | 05:18 |
| Soylent | but do you know how I can get my media keys to change the volume? | 05:18 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle, once you are root the run the ls -l /dev/null command and check to see if permission are setup correctly | 05:18 |
| Soylent | since the normal volume control isn't working | 05:19 |
| gold44 | is there a service i can run on ubuntu to support PXE? i want to install linux on that computer where i just fixed. i think my cdrom is bad, so i want to try a network install on my own intranet. | 05:19 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle, if not then chmod them | 05:19 |
| rkj | iter according to nautilus - the paernt directory has permissions of "owner can create and delete files, others can access files" | 05:19 |
| iter | gold44: PXE boot is supported/not bupported by the BIOS | 05:19 |
| prince_jammys | how did his /dev/null end up with the wrong permissions/owner? | 05:19 |
| iter | rkj: try setting them to 777 (everyone can do everything) | 05:20 |
| prince_jammys | that means you don't own nothin | 05:20 |
| jordan | Soylent, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OSS may be helpfull | 05:20 |

| Alangara | ubuntu uses GNOME desktop doesnt it? | 05:25 |
| dash | howdy. I just upgraded my thinkpad to gutsy from feisty and now X locks up periodically (uses 100% cpu, kill -9 has no effect on it). this is with an ati r300 using the open source driver; using or not using compiz seems to not affect it | 05:26 |
| CyanideD | how do i install flash drivers | 05:26 |
| dash | anybody seen this or got ideas on what to try? | 05:26 |
| dash | Alangara: that's the default, you can install others | 05:26 |
| iter | rkj: each user has a crontab, whose script run as that user | 05:26 |

| rkj | iter also, if I set the MAILTO="..." in the crontab file and set "..." to be my actual (e.g., verizon) email address, will error messages get sent there? I would guess that these commands were generating error messages that just went into a bit bucket. | 05:26 |

| speeddemon8803 | Ok CyanideD? | 05:27 |

| prince_jammys | speaker219: find /usr -name '*eggdrop*' | 05:27 |
| Soylent | thanks, should i get the OSS binary from the link inside there? or keep the one I already installed? (new to linux, don't understand a darned thing) | 05:27 |
| iter | rkj: my guess would be environment variables | 05:28 |
| speaker219 | thanks prince_jammys, sorry, i don't use linux too often except for an irc server that i have :p | 05:28 |
| neolith2099 | amicrawle, so when you were working with services you messeup up your /dev/null device? | 05:28 |
| rkj | iter I mean, if it's running as me, and the permissions give write access to me? | 05:28 |
| speeddemon8803 | CyanideD, did you see what I typed and what ubotu said about the flash plugin? | 05:28 |
| dash | oh yeah, other question: since upgrading to gutsy i'm getting an error on boot | 05:28 |
| katyl | am I right in saying that anything in /etc/cron.hourly should run every hour on the hour? | 05:28 |
| dash | where it says /dev/sda1 is busy and can't be mounted | 05:28 |
| rkj | iter well anyway, I set the permissions and we will see what happens. thanks for your help. | 05:29 |
| prince_jammys | speaker219: and find /usr -name 'eggdrop*' (no * at the beginning) and if all else fails, the somewhat timeconsuming sudo find / -name '*eggdrop*' | 05:29 |
| dash | and it puts me in single user mode | 05:29 |
| dash | is this an evms bug? | 05:29 |
| * speeddemon8803 sits back and looks around | 05:29 | |

| prince_jammys | [dcr]: did you check whether wine can run that properly? | 06:14 |
| [dcr] | Thats supposed to be the top program that Wine can run, according to winehq.org | 06:14 |
| ph0rensic | ComradeMirror`: So your having trouble resizing partitions in windows is that it? | 06:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | Sounds like your hard drive has a "physical block" on it..so where you cant physically change partition sizes or whatever. | 06:14 |
| blink_ | anyone...could help me... | 06:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | thanks ph0rensic :) | 06:14 |

| speeddemon8803 | your root partition has to be on your master drive if thats what your trying to ask. | 06:16 |

| VanGuard | Hello, i was wondering if someone could explain or give me a link that can explain KDE and Gnome | 06:34 |
| pawan | how to repair grub | 06:34 |
| natlinexnewb | VanGuard, I have one. Let me find it | 06:34 |
| VanGuard | thank you | 06:34 |
| icesword | hahah | 06:34 |
| prince_jammys | VanGuard: confused about what they do? | 06:34 |
| speeddemon8803 | !kde | vanguard | 06:34 |
| n2diy | VanGuard: what do you need to be explained, the are both Xwindow programs. | 06:35 |
| speeddemon8803 | !gnome | vanguard | 06:35 |
| VanGuard | just wondering what the differnces are | 06:35 |
| natlinexnewb | VanGuard, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kdegnome | 06:35 |
| n2diy | VanGuard: sounds like a job for Google? | 06:35 |
| VanGuard | thank you natlinexnewb | 06:35 |
| natlinexnewb | VanGuard, no prob :) | 06:36 |
| natlinexnewb | VanGuard, Might not be the best but it helped me. | 06:36 |
| ComradeMirror` | oh god | 06:36 |
| ubotu | vanguard: KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu. To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop », or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE version is 3.5.8 for Gutsy and Feisty, 3.5.6 for Edgy, and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information. | 06:36 |
| ubotu | vanguard: gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop. | 06:36 |
| ComradeMirror` | by some sort of magic | 06:36 |
| ComradeMirror` | of me smashing my computer with my foot | 06:36 |
| ComradeMirror` | I am able to edit the partition | 06:36 |
| speeddemon8803 | Yikes ubotu is lagging. | 06:36 |
| icesword | pawan:what is wrong | 06:36 |
| icesword | pawan:u computer did not boot | 06:36 |
| icesword | ?? | 06:36 |
| pawan | no | 06:36 |
| pawan | ubuntu is not booting | 06:36 |
| pawan | windows is booting | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | VanGuard: both are desktop environments that sit on top of everything else in the system, so you can actually install either one. they are not tied to the system so you can uninstall one and replace with another ... differences are : appearance (different looking buttons/menus and so on) and features (they way you set up things, and what's available in the default programs) | 06:37 |
| timandtom | Does anyone know where Pidgin saves its chatlogs? | 06:37 |
| Soylent | is it possible to keep track of a variable in a script? (trying to make a simple volume control script for OSS to be triggered by a shortcut mapper) so far I have /usr/bin/ossmix vmix0-vol $1 | 06:37 |
| icesword | ... | 06:38 |
| VanGuard | ok ty | 06:38 |
| Soylent | but i would like $1 to be an offset of a variable the script keeps track of | 06:38 |
| n2diy | Soylent: what kind of script? | 06:38 |
| icesword | pawan:do u know grub for dos,u can use it to boot ubuntu | 06:38 |
| pawan | no | 06:39 |
| Soylent | im not sure, I have no experience with linux and i am just modifying this one... it starts with... #!/bin/sh | 06:39 |
| pawan | i have 7.10 | 06:39 |
| icesword | no | 06:39 |
| Soylent | does that tell you what type of script it is? | 06:39 |
| icesword | ? | 06:39 |
| icesword | try google it | 06:39 |
| pawan | currently i booted from 6.06 livecd | 06:39 |
| ComradeMirror` | how long should repartitioning take? | 06:39 |
| speeddemon8803 | Comrade, depends on your drive size. | 06:39 |
| starked | Does anyone here think they can help me get gnome-do running? I had it installed, but then I uninstalled it and tried to compile from source, which didn't work, but now whenever I try to install and run it, it fails with an error about gtk-sharp. Also, I still can't compile it. Any ideas? | 06:39 |
| prince_jammys | VanGuard: you can have both installed in your box and that's ok. Each comes with it's own set of preferred apps, but theyre not mandatory.. Example: gedit is the default gnome text editor, kate is the kde text editor ,,,,, but if you want, you can run kate in gnome, its just that kde apps work optimally in KDE and the same goes for gnome.. | 06:39 |
| n2diy | Soylent: ok, try the #bash channel, that is a bash script. | 06:39 |
| neo | programs take longer to start some starts very quickly | 06:39 |
| Soylent | alrighty thanks | 06:39 |
| Soylent | is it on the same irc network? | 06:40 |

| Soylent | great thanks :D | 06:40 |

| lobo_nz | My video freezes up after a few minutes of playing, happened ever since gutsy upgrade, I re-installed but still freezes any ideas how to fix it? | 07:01 |
| Rael- | can someone tell me how to fix it so that when I login as root I keep the same setttings and preferences as my other login | 07:01 |
| jordan | Filled-Void, http://kubuntu.com/ link near the top of the page | 07:01 |
| jordan | Rael-, Do not log in as root. Period | 07:02 |
| neo | performence is very good except for programs taking longer to start | 07:02 |
| PaTeeLA | Rael-: i think you would have to set up root account just like ur user accouont to do that | 07:03 |

| PaTeeLA | Rael-: but like jordan has pointed out, u should not be running as root, except for maintenance anyway | 07:03 |

| _nando | neo: you must edit /etc/hosts | 07:04 |
| PaTeeLA | Rael-: gksudo then whatever gui u want like nautilus. Is that what u want? | 07:04 |
| Filled-Void | Im sorry jordan I think Im dense but I did the InstallingKDE wiki and thats how I got 3.5 on my system but it doesnt mention how to move to 4.0 if I wanted to :x. I think Im looking at the wrong place. COuld you point me to the actual link. | 07:04 |
| starked | carpediem: I think I figured it out, I misunderstood what the build-dep command did -- I went back and actually compiled + installed evolution sharp, lol, and I think it should work fine now. Thanks! | 07:04 |

| neo | it is already there | 07:08 |
| jay-oh-en | linux* | 07:08 |
| meekolope | Comm what was your problem again? | 07:08 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im doing partitions right now | 07:08 |
| ComradeMirror` | for linux | 07:08 |
| ComradeMirror` | what is a swap partition | 07:08 |
| _nando | so put in the first line 127.0.0.1 localhost your-computer-name | 07:09 |
| RedHeron | It's virtual memory space, ComradeMirror`. | 07:09 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:09 |
| ph0rensic | ComradeMirror`: kinda like windows page file or whatever | 07:09 |
| Ububegin | what is the command ... to open 2 vim windows side by side.... | 07:09 |
| ComradeMirror` | what is a good amount? | 07:09 |
| * RedHeron 10gb of swap, has used up to 4gb of that. | 07:09 | |
| Rael- | I'm trying to be as root while in the window messing with files and folders..cause it won't let me make links to the files | 07:09 |
| kuchcha | hey all | 07:09 |
| ph0rensic | ComradeMirror`: between 1-2 gigs | 07:09 |
| kuchcha | i have ubuntu installed on my HDD | 07:09 |
| * RedHeron *has* 10gb of swap, rather. | 07:09 | |
| ComradeMirror` | eep | 07:09 |
| _nando | neo: i dont know if this will work for you because I had this problem on feisty fawn, in gutsy this problem is supposed to be fixed | 07:09 |
| _nando | neo: but try | 07:09 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im trying to set up linux on maximum 10gbs | 07:09 |
| kuchcha | im plannin to install debian using hd-install | 07:09 |
| ph0rensic | RedHeron: you have 10 gigs swap? | 07:10 |
| ComradeMirror` | just want to try it out | 07:10 |
| kuchcha | how shld i edit the GRUB for that? | 07:10 |
| mkquist | Rael-: u can sudo nautilus if you would like, or gksudo nautilus | 07:10 |
| jay-oh-en | how would i do this on ubuntu http://www.labnol.org/software/browsers/speed-up-firefox-run-fast/2065/ | 07:10 |
| ComradeMirror` | so what would be a good amount fitting everything in 10gbs | 07:10 |
| RedHeron | ph0rensic: Yes. | 07:10 |
| ComradeMirror` | some someone said i should have 4 partitions or something | 07:10 |
| ph0rensic | RedHeron: wow how big is your HDD | 07:10 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Probably 1gb would suffice. | 07:10 |
| ComradeMirror` | 1.for my windows 2.linux 3.swap 4./home | 07:10 |
| RedHeron | ph0rensic: 120Gb | 07:10 |
| * kuchcha waits for attention | 07:10 | |
| ph0rensic | ComradeMirror`: 2 for linux 1 for windows.. what would the 4th be? ghost drive partition??? | 07:10 |
| zcat[1] | ComradeMirror`: If you want to fit the whole install in 10G I'd go for 9G / and 1G swap, only 2 partitions | 07:10 |
| blink_ | hohoho..without your help, i fixed mine...hehehe.. | 07:10 |
| ph0rensic | RedHeron: Why so much space for swap? | 07:11 |
| neo | like 127.0.0.1 localhost unknown (unknown my computer name) | 07:11 |
| RedHeron | ph0rensic: A /home partition on its own partition allows replacing the OS without losing much. | 07:11 |
| trance_techau | compiz --replace Checking for Xgl: present. Checking for nVidia: not present. Checking for Xgl: present. Enabling Xgl with fglrx ATi drivers... Starting emerald inotify_add_watch: No such file or directory | 07:11 |
| ComradeMirror` | in english | 07:11 |
| _nando | neo: yes | 07:11 |
| RedHeron | ph0rensic: And my reason for so much is that I'm a resource hog. | 07:11 |
| ComradeMirror` | how would that benefit me | 07:11 |
| trance_techau | anyone know that dam error | 07:12 |
| ph0rensic | RedHeron: haah oh i see.. yah i suppose that would work | 07:12 |
| neo | _nando should i restart now? | 07:12 |
| ComradeMirror` | and how big would me /home be to benefit me? | 07:12 |
| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| speeddemon8803 | comrademirror..your home directory on a different partition would benefit by making it so where if you accidentally "wipe" your main partition..all of your stuff isnt totally gone for your user account. | 07:12 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: thats not alot of space, youll likely run out installing programs... If you trying to fit windows and linux on one 10gig drive, if thats what you mean | 07:12 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: 1gb would allow you essentially 1gb of RAM, though it's slower on a HDD than it is in actual RAM. | 07:12 |
| credible | trance_techau: there isn't anything particularly bad there | 07:12 |
| trance_techau | when starting compiz, emerald is crashing | 07:12 |
| ComradeMirror` | mkquist | 07:12 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im jsut trying to fit linux on 10gb | 07:12 |
| credible | trance_techau: how do you know it's crashing? | 07:12 |
| trance_techau | except emerald won't full load | 07:12 |
| trance_techau | it just hangs | 07:13 |
| lindzeyn | I have a raid0 array (2 X 750) and a 74GB Raptor. I am trying to install ubuntu onto the Raptor. The installation goes just fine; however, when I restart, GRUB gives me an error 25: disk read error. | 07:13 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: oh then just a 1gid swap, rest for linux | 07:13 |
| _nando | neo: first try to start the app again... if the problem stills maybe its a good idea to restart | 07:13 |
| chalcedony | :) | 07:13 |
| credible | trance_techau: is the Window Decoration plugin enabled? | 07:13 |
| trance_techau | without it load i dont have any menu's. exit minimise etc | 07:13 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: 1gb /home should suffice. | 07:13 |
| Rael- | thanks. I tried that but it did not solve the problem...I'm trying to make a link on the desktop to the windows drive that I mounted. it will let me make links to the other foders but not that | 07:13 |
| zcat[1] | ComradeMirror`: I wouldn't split root and home if you're trying to do a small install, you'll just end up with one or the other being too small, while you still have space on the other.. | 07:13 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay | 07:13 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: u can put ur home on another part to save if u need to reinstall i guess | 07:13 |
| ComradeMirror` | so 8gbs linux 1 swap 1 home | 07:13 |
| RedHeron | 4gb Linux, 4gb Windows | 07:13 |
| ComradeMirror` | redheron | 07:13 |
| ComradeMirror` | the whole drive is 60 | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im using 10 for linux | 07:14 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Ah, that makes a difference. | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | yeah | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | Im poor xd cannot afford big drives | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | though I have 2 60gbs | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | I have 14 open on my other drive | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | I might beable to use | 07:14 |
| neo | i think its ok thnks vry vry much i was actually thinking to reinstall the system | 07:14 |
| RedHeron | 1 drive Lin, 1 drive Wintendo? | 07:14 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: id just use a 1 gig swap and the rest for linux, keeps it simple (its not the size of ur drives, its how u use em anyway =p) | 07:14 |
| ComradeMirror` | so I have 16-20gbs at my disposal | 07:14 |
| meekolope | Comrade, hey thats not bad i only have 60 gigs total from two drives :P | 07:15 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:15 |
| zcat[1] | ComradeMirror`: 9G root, 1G swap.. forget splitting off home, you can easily backup and restore home to the windows partition with ntfs-3g or ext2 drivers in windows if you need to reinstall | 07:15 |
| ph0rensic | RedHeron: Have you tried clonezilla or bacula?? | 07:15 |
| neo | thnks nando | 07:15 |
| trance_techau | credible - in where? compiz manager | 07:15 |
| RedHeron | zcat[1]: Most people *don't* back up, is the issue. | 07:15 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay | 07:15 |
| ComradeMirror` | so no home? | 07:15 |
| _nando | neo: :) | 07:15 |
| RedHeron | Making a separate /home partition makes better sense. | 07:15 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: agree w/ zcat[1] myself... no home is made on ur linux drive automatically | 07:15 |
| spaz | g'evening | 07:16 |
| spaz | i just installed ubuntu (coming from freebsd...har har i know) | 07:16 |
| zcat[1] | RedHeron: for keeping home, copy to windows.. for 'backing up' -- something on the same drive is NOT a backup! | 07:16 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: What do you plan to use Linux for? | 07:16 |
| spaz | and i tried to boot | 07:16 |
| ComradeMirror` | school work and media | 07:16 |
| spaz | then it freezes at "Setting system clock" | 07:16 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: linux will creat a home for u if u dont mount it somewhere else | 07:16 |
| ComradeMirror` | Windows for gaming | 07:16 |
| ComradeMirror` | and such | 07:16 |
| spaz | any ideas? | 07:16 |
| ComradeMirror` | mount it somewhere else? | 07:16 |
| RedHeron | zcat[1]: But having a separate /home partition if you fubar Linux = much, much lower chances of losing data. | 07:17 |
| fx__ | Lost is a shitty show. Its season 6 and theyre still on a fucking island.. I think a better story would be, they live in the jungle for like 2 seasons, and during that time they turn into savage killers from living like guerillas in the jungle.. So then they finally get rescued, but when they go back to civilized life theyre all traumatized from life in the jungle and having to eat eachothers guts. And now, they cannot cope with so | 07:17 |
| * ComradeMirror` flails arms | 07:17 | |
| spaz | good to know. | 07:17 |
| Rael- | its only season 4 | 07:17 |
| ComradeMirror` | Hmmm | 07:17 |
| mkquist | fx__: not, like off-topic or anything... =\ | 07:17 |
| fx__ | but yes or no? | 07:17 |
| ComradeMirror` | can I use my home on a different drive then linux | 07:17 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Yes. | 07:17 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: yes | 07:17 |
| zcat[1] | RedHeron: I wouldn't think so.. how are you going to foobar linux? rm -rf? /home is gone anyhow... | 07:17 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then | 07:17 |
| * spaz screams at his hard disk | 07:17 | |
| neo | another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones | 07:17 |
| stdin | !ot | fx__ | 07:17 |
| ubotu | fx__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 07:17 |
| fx__ | sorry all | 07:18 |
| RedHeron | zcat[1]: I've done it just with software installs. | 07:18 |
| spaz | x_x | 07:18 |
| mkquist | spaz: whats up? | 07:18 |
| RedHeron | fx__: That has what, exactly, to do with Ubuntu? | 07:18 |
| ComradeMirror` | so Im going to be doing 8gbs for my linx 1 for swap 1 /home | 07:18 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: That makes sense. | 07:18 |
| ComradeMirror` | swap and home can be on seperate drive then linux too yes? | 07:18 |
| spaz | mkquist, i go to boot ubuntu, then it freezes at "setting system clock" | 07:18 |
| Rael- | I think I need to change the permissions on the /mnt/windows folder . but that option is greyed out | 07:18 |
| fx__ | RedHeron: sorry i am in OT now | 07:18 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Yes. | 07:18 |
| jordan | ComradeMirror`, Yes | 07:18 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then Im going to try this | 07:18 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: that would work fine if u wish | 07:18 |
| ComradeMirror` | x.x | 07:18 |
| zcat[1] | RedHeron: no matter how much you mess it up, you can still get the files off by booting into a rescue disk, or booting into windows and reading the partiton with ext2 drivers | 07:18 |
| spaz | mkquist, relatively early in the boot process | 07:18 |
| ComradeMirror` | would a home of 1gb really help me? | 07:18 |
| * spaz hugs ComradeMirror` | 07:18 | |
| mkquist | spaz: tried hitting escape? | 07:18 |
| ComradeMirror` | I'd have to know how to use home wouldn't i? | 07:18 |
| RedHeron | zcat[1]: I didn't have any way to recover the partition. | 07:19 |
| ComradeMirror` | I'll come back later to learn that if I don't figure out how | 07:19 |
| spaz | mkquist, the keyboard locks up... | 07:19 |
| spaz | so that didn't really help :p | 07:19 |
| RedHeron | zcat[1]: As in: the /home partition saved my butt. | 07:19 |
| mkquist | spaz: ewww,,, bootlive cd and check the logs.. | 07:19 |
| mkquist | spaz: see what its 'thinking' | 07:19 |
| Lieuwe | hello | 07:19 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: /home is where the user accounts are located... it's where YOUR files are stored. | 07:19 |
| jordan | ComradeMirror`, /home is where your documents / settings are most likely to be stored, if 1 GIG is enough for your documents then it's fine, if not ... :) | 07:19 |
| spaz | mkquist, i turned off the bootsplash and quiet optoins | 07:19 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:19 |
| spaz | live CD does it fine | 07:19 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then | 07:19 |
| ComradeMirror` | I understand now | 07:19 |
| mkquist | Lieuwe: hello 2 u | 07:19 |
| ComradeMirror` | what would be stored on my linux drive then? | 07:20 |
| Lieuwe | hello | 07:20 |
| crolle17 | hi pastie! | 07:20 |
| * RedHeron has 60GB on the /home partition and runs out of space due to work requirements. | 07:20 | |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Linux | 07:20 |
| mkquist | spaz: livd cd/check logs on system... | 07:20 |
| ComradeMirror` | isn't linux only 4gbs? | 07:20 |
| Lieuwe | this lol server | 07:20 |
| spaz | mkquist, ok | 07:20 |
| spaz | ugh lag | 07:20 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: It allows you to install software you need, such as instant messengers, Skype, etc. | 07:20 |
| Lieuwe | >A>A>A>>A>A>A>A>A | 07:20 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:20 |
| Rael- | can someone tell me how to allow permission to access a folder to my main user | 07:20 |
| neo | another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | I might make my home bigger then | 07:21 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: RedHeron is not wrong on this, but up to you... | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | 2gbs of god | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | oh* | 07:21 |
| Lieuwe | 123456789 | 07:21 |
| crolle17 | pastie | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | hmm I might make my linux 6 then | 07:21 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: That's the point: this is a decision only you can make. | 07:21 |
| Lieuwe | 10111213141516171819 | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | gaa | 07:21 |
| jordan | ComradeMirror`, "linux" is only a kernel, how much your space your Ubuntu install is going to require depends on what applications you install | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | yes Im thinking | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | how much space would it take | 07:21 |
| Lieuwe | 20212223242526272829 | 07:21 |
| jordan | ComradeMirror`, It can be 50 meg or less TOTAL if you really need it to be | 07:21 |
| RedHeron | jordan: Thanks, that was what I was trying to say. | 07:21 |
| Lieuwe | :) | 07:21 |
| ComradeMirror` | to get extremely large amounts of eye candy | 07:21 |
| Lieuwe | 07:21 | |
| Lieuwe | 07:21 | |

| twosouls82 | Lieuwe: please behave | 07:21 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: work/school, back it up.. like cd/dvd... =) | 07:21 |
| Lieuwe | 07:22 | |
| ph0rensic | sorry folks pidgin keeps crashing .. ol trusty xchat though | 07:22 |
| RedHeron | Flooder troll! | 07:22 |
| Lieuwe | 07:22 | |

| natlinexnewb | i have a silly funny question | 07:22 |
| mkquist | spaz: find that hard to believe... hmmm =\ | 07:22 |
| natlinexnewb | ... | 07:22 |
| neo | ++++++ | 07:22 |
| spaz | mkquist, believe it or not | 07:22 |
| spaz | whee | 07:22 |
| mkquist | spaz: are u checking the live cd log or ur installed os log? | 07:22 |
| paul928_ | @ubuntu-us-az | 07:22 |
| ComradeMirror` | does compiz fusion work with ubuntu? | 07:22 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Yes. | 07:22 |
| ph0rensic | ComradeMirror`: Yes is comes with gutsy! | 07:23 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:23 |
| spaz | mkquist, installed OS log, but live cd boots fine as i said | 07:23 |
| natlinexnewb | I have 7.10 .iso on the desktop. Can i install 7.10 right now over top of my 5.04? | 07:23 |
| spaz | it just doesn't like being installed i guess | 07:23 |
| jordan | ComradeMirror`, Yes, the basic features are installed by default | 07:23 |
| mkquist | spaz: but ur are like cd'ing to media and looking at the right log? | 07:23 |
| jordan | natlinexnewb, You would need to burn the iso to a CD or some other media | 07:23 |
| spaz | mkquist, i'm picking all the logs, and most of them contain (nothing logged yet) | 07:23 |
| mkquist | spaz: cause its gonna be a mounted disk ur looking at | 07:23 |
| natlinexnewb | :( | 07:23 |
| spaz | natural i assume, since it freezes before the FS is mounted | 07:24 |
| mkquist | spaz: not the base system | 07:24 |
| ComradeMirror` | when I used linux before it never seem this flashie xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4Fbk52Mk1w&e | 07:24 |
| ComradeMirror` | but yeah I've used linux before just not with partitions like this | 07:24 |
| spaz | mkquist, ? explain | 07:24 |
| * spaz shouldn't be this confused lol | 07:24 | |
| jordan | natlinexnewb, You should be able to upgrade 5.04 to 5.10 then 6.04 ... but it is no longer supported and there are no guarentees :) | 07:24 |
| natlinexnewb | lol | 07:24 |
| spaz | been a while since i've used linux...BSD brain contamination! | 07:25 |
| natlinexnewb | jordan, thanx :) | 07:25 |
| mkquist | spaz: still find that hard to believe, cd / to root then check /media and look at ur hard drive(s) mounted there, if there is like hda or sda then cd to there and check the logs there | 07:25 |
| zcat[1] | my own opinion, if you don't have 8G free for root and still a sensible amount free for home, it's better to just have both in the same partition.. that way one or the other won't be too small until you actually do run out of space.. | 07:25 |
| spaz | mkquist, that's what i'm doing | 07:25 |
| ComradeMirror` | are those just plugins for the compiz fusion thing | 07:25 |
| spaz | i can access my ubuntu partition inside my current OS | 07:25 |
| spaz | err ubuntu disk | 07:25 |
| starked | Would anyone here know why the command specified in Compiz Config --> General --> Commands won't run when I press its associated key? | 07:25 |
| natlinexnewb | is there a human readable thingy of my devices on this box? | 07:25 |
| spaz | and as i said mkquist, logs empty | 07:25 |
| mkquist | spaz: u got me then, theres gotta be something logged, i mean its trying to start sooo... i'm thinking there has to be something in the log.. | 07:26 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: I'm not sure what you're meaning... are what? | 07:26 |
| zcat[1] | and if you only have 4G in /home you can back that up on a single DVD if you ever need to reinstall | 07:26 |
| mkquist | anyone can help spaz... he says theres nothing in logs on a system that wont fully boot when he checks w/live cd? | 07:26 |
| ComradeMirror` | nvm | 07:26 |
| * RedHeron agrees with zcat[1] on that. | 07:27 | |
| natlinexnewb | live CD doesnt touch the HD afaik | 07:27 |
| mkquist | spaz: sry, i dont know if there is nothing... | 07:27 |
| jordan | spaz, Is your Ubuntu partition currently mounted? | 07:27 |
| RedHeron | spaz: Where are you looking for logs? | 07:27 |
| mkquist | jordan: wont it mount w/live cd auto or not? | 07:27 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay hows this sound instead 8gbs for linux 6 for home 2 for swap | 07:27 |
| mkquist | RedHeron: i think hes looking in the wrong place, but he says not | 07:27 |
| jordan | mkquist, No, you need to mount internal drives explicitly | 07:27 |
| ComradeMirror` | since I might be torrenting unlicensed cartoons xD | 07:27 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Still only need 1 for swap. | 07:27 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then | 07:27 |
| ComradeMirror` | 7 for home | 07:28 |
| zcat[1] | ComradeMirror`: how about 30 for windows, 30 for Linux... | 07:28 |
| spaz | RedHeron, in /var/log of course | 07:28 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Sounds good. :-) | 07:28 |
| mkquist | jordan: ty, then thats the prob... spaz gotta mount the drive.. check w/jordan | 07:28 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then | 07:28 |
| spaz | i'm a un*x veteran...but this has me stumped heh | 07:28 |
| ComradeMirror` | apparently | 07:28 |
| ComradeMirror` | I should have defragged my drives | 07:28 |
| ComradeMirror` | before editing my partitions | 07:28 |
| ComradeMirror` | x.x | 07:28 |
| RedHeron | spaz: Are the logs being written to somewhere else? | 07:28 |
| spaz | mkquist, i did mount the drive :P | 07:28 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: it really all depends what ur putting on it. Like windows u install a lot ull prob run short... w/10gigs | 07:28 |
| natlinexnewb | is there a human readable text file or "easy" list of my devices on this box? I'm looking at Device manager at the mo and there are lots of strings. | 07:29 |
| spaz | RedHeron, i don't think so... | 07:29 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: That would help, yes. | 07:29 |

| ComradeMirror` | mkquist my windows has 50gbs x.x | 07:29 |
| spaz | RedHeron, lemme look... | 07:29 |
| nickrud | natlinexnewb: lspci | 07:29 |
| RedHeron | spaz: Also check to make sure permissions are correct for logging. | 07:29 |
| speeddemon8803 | hmm...nobody in #freenode is helping me with my hostmask cloaking :/ | 07:29 |
| jordan | spaz, What is happening when you try to boot? | 07:29 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: well thats fine, but i mean ur linux part... | 07:29 |
| natlinexnewb | nickrud, in terminal? | 07:29 |
| zcat[1] | I've resized a fair few Windows partitions and I've never defragged first... and I've never had one go bad either | 07:29 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:29 |
| nickrud | natlinexnewb: yes | 07:29 |
| ComradeMirror` | you said my windows part might run short with 10 gigs | 07:30 |
| ph0rensic | zcat[1]: I saw it happen to a few folks | 07:30 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: sry meant linux | 07:30 |
| * RedHeron has never had one go bad, but there is the possibility (remote one) that you could lose data. | 07:30 | |
| nickrud | the one time I resized an ntfs, it went bad. The machine was only a couple hours old, luckily | 07:30 |
| ComradeMirror` | ah | 07:30 |
| jay-oh-en | i got my webserver up now how do i add stuff to it to make a website show up | 07:30 |
| ComradeMirror` | question | 07:30 |
| spaz | jordan, it locks up when it goes to to "Configue system clock" | 07:30 |
| ComradeMirror` | can I increase a partition | 07:30 |
| ComradeMirror` | after I install linux | 07:30 |
| zcat[1] | I advise people to backup always.. just in case.. | 07:30 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: put your html in /var/www , use sudo | 07:30 |
| lindzeyn | I have a raid0 array (2 X 750) and a 74GB Raptor. I am trying to install ubuntu onto the Raptor. The installation goes just fine; however, when I restart, GRUB gives me an error 25: disk read error. | 07:30 |
| ComradeMirror` | say I free up more unaccolated space | 07:30 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: It's possible, but not recommended, in general. | 07:30 |
| mkquist | ComradeMirror`: better to fix ur part size before install id think | 07:31 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay then | 07:31 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, thanks | 07:31 |
| === jordan is now known as Jordan_U | ||
| natlinexnewb | nickrud, thanx. perfect. | 07:31 |
| spaz | hmm... | 07:31 |
| zcat[1] | I just let the installer resize it.. but whatever you feel safest with | 07:31 |
| spaz | i bet $10 there's some kernel option i can use to fix this | 07:32 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, how do i remove a dir full of stuff? | 07:32 |
| ph0rensic | zcat[1]: any good backup software that clones the whole system? | 07:32 |
| spaz | something related to the system clock | 07:32 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, sudo rm -i? | 07:32 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: to remove the directory and all it's contents, rm -r /path/todir | 07:32 |
| erawfish | jay-oh-en: by using rm -rf VERY CAREFULLY | 07:32 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Linux doesn't stop you from doing stupid things... like using a Windows partition. | 07:32 |
| jay-oh-en | erawfish, thanks | 07:32 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, thanks | 07:32 |
| ComradeMirror` | and that means what? | 07:32 |
| zcat[1] | ph0rensic: partimage is OKish .. can only restore to the same size partition though | 07:33 |
| nickrud | jay-oh-en: I'd suggest -r, use f only if -r fails (and you know why) | 07:33 |
| jay-oh-en | nickrud, ok | 07:33 |
| speeddemon8803 | rm is a scary command when run under sudo :( | 07:33 |
| ph0rensic | zcat[1]: What about clonazilla ever used it? | 07:33 |
| spaz | AHA | 07:33 |
| zcat[1] | nope | 07:33 |
| RedHeron | spaz: Yes? | 07:33 |
| jay-oh-en | thanks nickrud | 07:33 |
| ComradeMirror` | should all my partitions be ext3? | 07:33 |
| spaz | i think it's a /sbin/hwclock bug | 07:33 |
| nickrud | speeddemon8803: I destroyed a carefully built lfs that way once | 07:33 |
| zcat[1] | jay-oh-en: rm -rf -- /path/to/dir | 07:33 |
| spaz | or it's doing something it shouldn't be doing | 07:33 |
| RedHeron | spaz: That's.... weird. | 07:33 |
| spaz | RedHeron, indeed it is | 07:34 |
| spaz | let's see | 07:34 |
| jay-oh-en | zcat[1], got my answer already | 07:34 |
| ph0rensic | sudo rm -Rf / hmm not a good thing i guess | 07:34 |
| zcat[1] | -- means any files with -- names won't be interpreted as more switches | 07:34 |
| neo | ++++++ | 07:34 |
| neo | another problem >>>>>>> while plugging in the pin of my headphones in to system the pc speaker doesnot mute and sound comes frm both speakers and headphones | 07:34 |
| RedHeron | ph0rensic: Nor is: cat /dev/zero > /dev/sda | 07:34 |
| zcat[1] | nor is yes > /dev/hda | 07:34 |
| Jordan_U | spaz, Out of curiosity try chrooting in and running 'date' | 07:35 |
| ComradeMirror` | ext3 is the best "type" or format my partitions should be set too right | 07:35 |
| spaz | Jordan_U, good idea | 07:35 |
| Onyx | Does anyone know of a good tool for cutting out precise clips from mp3s? | 07:35 |
| Jordan_U | Onyx, Like Audacity or something more specialized? | 07:36 |
| spaz | i'll have to burn another livecd...freebsd can't chroot into linux stuffs :( | 07:36 |
| spaz | and i have the alternate iso | 07:36 |
| spaz | ah well, no pain no gain | 07:36 |
| erawfish | !info mp3split | 07:36 |
| ubotu | Package mp3split does not exist in gutsy | 07:36 |
| zcat[1] | alternate CD you can alt-F2 and get a shell | 07:36 |
| erawfish | !info mp3cut | 07:36 |
| ubotu | Package mp3cut does not exist in gutsy | 07:36 |
| nickrud | spaz: I think the alternate has a recovery option, drops you into a shell | 07:36 |
| erawfish | d'oh! | 07:36 |
| Jordan_U | spaz, Can it do it with the Linux emulation ( never tried it, and I am curious now ) ? | 07:37 |
| spaz | nickrud, o: it does | 07:37 |
| Onyx | Jordan_U: Just looking for something that can cut things by like 100ths of seconds, if at all possible. It doesn't have to be ridiculously high tech at all. | 07:37 |
| spaz | good point | 07:37 |
| erawfish | ComradeMirror`: yes | 07:37 |
| spaz | Jordan_U, no because it only emulates 2.4 right now | 07:37 |
| spaz | and i'd also have to mark the binaries in the install :( | 07:37 |
| zcat[1] | Onyx: audacity? | 07:37 |
| spaz | well i shall bbs | 07:38 |

| RedHeron | Hi | 07:39 |
| zcat[1] | natlinexnewb: use IMAP on both machines if your mail provider supports it | 07:39 |
| natlinexnewb | Pop3 | 07:39 |
| natlinexnewb | atm | 07:39 |
| nickrud | natlinexnewb: get imap :) | 07:39 |
| natlinexnewb | whats the differences? | 07:39 |
| * RedHeron wants a PHP script that pulls raw email through Gmail into a database. | 07:39 | |
| glick | is anyone running ubuntu D830? | 07:39 |
| RedHeron | Woops, wrong channel. | 07:39 |
| nickrud | natlinexnewb: imap always leaves messages on the server, you can sync any client any time | 07:39 |
| ComradeMirror` | okay guys Im trying this | 07:39 |
| OmegaCenti | How do I tell if I have framebuffer in console? | 07:39 |
| ComradeMirror` | wish me luck | 07:40 |
| zcat[1] | see if they support imap.. otherwise set both mail programs to leave mail on the server | 07:40 |
| natlinexnewb | so this is a thunderbird issue not a ubuntu? | 07:40 |
| RedHeron | ComradeMirror`: Good luck! | 07:40 |
| === max is now known as max` | ||
| nickrud | natlinexnewb: sort the mail into folders on the server, both clients see the sorting | 07:40 |

| of | someone please help me? | 08:07 |
| longannoyingname | ok | 08:08 |
| longannoyingname | what do you need | 08:08 |
| OmegaCenti | Okay, this little fix to enable vga=791 with framebuffer in consoles wants me messing around with initramfs, and I don't have a man page for initramfs, what the heck is initram fs | 08:08 |
| pocketdrummer | pawan: Same happens for me, when you put the disc in, type xmodule=vesa after all the other text there. | 08:08 |
| of | trying to get my computer connected to my lan so i can get online | 08:08 |
| longannoyingname | oh | 08:08 |
| longannoyingname | easy | 08:08 |
| of | lol | 08:08 |
| longannoyingname | ok so do you need drivers | 08:08 |
| zcat[1] | omegaCenti man mkinitramfs | 08:08 |
| longannoyingname | or a networking program | 08:08 |
| of | the drivers seem to be loaded | 08:09 |
| prince_jammys | OmegaCenti man initramfs.conf | 08:09 |
| of | or so i'm told from what i've asked people | 08:09 |
| longannoyingname | if it's drivers go to sys>admin>restricted drivers manager and install stuff | 08:09 |
| longannoyingname | if it's software that you need simply type sudo aptitude install samba | 08:09 |
| zcat[1] | of: if your lan is properly configured and you have any moderately common network card, you should only need to plug it in | 08:09 |
| pawan | or should i connect monitor to my motherboard and not graphics card | 08:10 |
| longannoyingname | pawan: bad idea it will screw up xorg.conf | 08:10 |
| spaz | :o | 08:10 |
| OmegaCenti | zcat[1]: prince_jammys How much of a bad idea do you think it would be to add fbcon to //blahblah/inits something here -tools/modules then ubdate initrd.img and then restart? | 08:10 |
| spaz | i fixed it! somehow... | 08:10 |
| pawan | then | 08:10 |
| spaz | i just booted and it works | 08:10 |
| of | after i type in sudo aptitude install samba........ what do i do? | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | OmegaCenti no clue ... was reading the man page myself | 08:11 |
| longannoyingname | well what was the output | 08:11 |
| spaz | thanks uh...people who helped me whose names escape me atm | 08:11 |
| [dcr] | How on earth do I install my graphics driver on ubuntu? | 08:11 |

| OmegaCenti | Is there ever going to be a fix for blank screens in consoles after setting a cga mode in grub for Gutsy?! | 08:12 |
| OmegaCenti | zcat[1]: How much of a bad idea do you think it would be to add fbcon to //blahblah/inits something here -tools/modules then ubdate initrd.img and then restart? | 08:12 |
| pocketdrummer | [dcr]: what kind of graphics are you using? | 08:12 |

| of | e: could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable) | 08:12 |
| longannoyingname | ok | 08:12 |
| OmegaCenti | zcat[1]: not a howto, a fix/workaround | 08:12 |
| longannoyingname | what programs do you have running right now of | 08:12 |
| zcat[1] | OmegaCenti: it might work.. it might fail horribly. Do you keep good backups ? :-) | 08:13 |
| of | e: unable to lock the administration director /var/lib/dpkg is another process using it? | 08:13 |

| of | didn't ask to reload that time | 08:25 |
| Soludra | longannoyingname: maybe it would have been best if I hadn't mentioned Envy. Also for the record, it worked better than what I've tried before. | 08:25 |
| longannoyingname | ok | 08:25 |
| of | but was unable to find samba | 08:25 |
| longannoyingname | well I was just putting out there that it isn't officially supported | 08:26 |

| ComradeMirror` | anyone know any good ubuntu themes? | 08:34 |
| ATG | if I run rhythmbox and gimp at the same time, it quickly freezes, though I have much RAM left. I think it's a CPU overloading issue | 08:34 |
| DAC1138 | Tankado: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-202558.html | 08:34 |
| mkquist | ATG: yeah, had probs w/gimp myself... so what did u do to gix it? | 08:34 |
| ATG | ComradeMirror, get Emerald. Then play around as you will | 08:34 |
| mkquist | fix* | 08:34 |
| ATG | mkquist, I stopped running Rhythmbox at the same time | 08:34 |
| ATG | my CPU apparently can't take it | 08:35 |

| pocketdrummer | Is there a way to completely remove a potentially corrupt installation of Wine? | 08:50 |
| jay-oh-en | pocketdrummer, yeah synaptic | 08:51 |
| Flannel | pocketdrummer: the wine program itself is corrupt? or a windows program? | 08:51 |
| nilou | Hi people, is there any way to install python rahther than CGI in Apache? | 08:51 |
| Flannel | pocketdrummer: or you just want to get rid of *everything* and start over? | 08:51 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: Hmm I dunno not seeing too many relevant hits on how | 08:51 |
| pocketdrummer | Flannel: Pretty much | 08:52 |
| lyte | nilou: python is a language CGI is an interface, you can run python through CGI i think... | 08:52 |
| Flannel | pocketdrummer: in synaptic "completely remove" wine, then delete your .wine directory in your homedir | 08:52 |
| natlinuxnewb | Q. why when I downloaded the 7.10 iso did it give me a disk full of .exe and windows files? Wheres the linux part of it? (I thought linux didnt use exe? | 08:52 |
| Agent_bob | hey guys. i'm missing a file for software midi it's from the debian repos does anyone know what i'm talking about? | 08:52 |
| jay-oh-en | how do i change the permissions of a file? | 08:52 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en chmod | 08:53 |
| natlinuxnewb | jay-oh-en, using gnome? | 08:53 |
| natlinuxnewb | jay-oh-en, nvm | 08:53 |
| rosebuntu | ubuntu iso is a bootable CD | 08:53 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: Have you considered forcing the drive open (I did this do a dvd drive that died on me a few days ago) | 08:53 |
| jay-oh-en | how do i change the permissions of a directory? i mean | 08:53 |
| Agent_bob | same way | 08:53 |
| jay-oh-en | kay | 08:53 |
| lyte | jay-oh-en: on the cli just use chmod --help to find the right flag, look for recursive | 08:53 |
| macogw | rosebuntu: youre preaching to the choir | 08:53 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, if i wanted my user to be able to use it what would it be | 08:53 |
| ph0rensic | -R | 08:53 |
| Flannel | natlinuxnewb: There are some FOSS stuff that are windows programs as well, yes. That's the right one. They are *just* windows programs (meant to be a introduction to FOSS) | 08:53 |
| pocketdrummer | Flannel: I'm trying to help [dcr] get guild wars to work. He has a laptop with (we think) an intel GMA 950 graphics chip. He's running Gutsy and installed wine using a terminal method (we think). He's getting a video error when he tries to run the game, so we're trying to get to the bottom of the issue. | 08:53 |
| nilou | lyte: Yes you are right, i mean i want to install python in Apache not through CGI | 08:54 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, I have considered it. Was hoping theres a command that I can type in terminal | 08:54 |
| ph0rensic | chmod 755 -R /dir <-- should look like that | 08:54 |
| rosebuntu | macogw / it's my hobby and pleasure | 08:54 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: But you how can you install if you cant boot it? | 08:54 |
| jay-oh-en | ph0rensic, what about 1000 | 08:54 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en well let me cut to the hard part first. what is the fs in question ext# or ntfs/vfat ? | 08:54 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, exactly | 08:54 |
| Flannel | pocketdrummer: Alright, well, `sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -rf ~/.wine` and he'll be starting fresh. | 08:54 |
| ph0rensic | jay-oh-en: I didn't follow the question.. what was it? | 08:55 |
| majikins | hi can anyone point me to the right documentation for a linux domain controller for linux workstations? | 08:55 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, I can read the drive but *that* time it didnt read it. | 08:55 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, what? | 08:55 |
| natlinuxnewb | I think....getting a new drive will fix the problem. :\ | 08:55 |
| pocketdrummer | Flannel: So, just to make completely sure, it is exactly `sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -rf ~/.wine` right? | 08:55 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: Well try till it will? | 08:55 |
| lyte | nilou: i think libapache2-mod-python is what you're looking for | 08:56 |
| === killvador is now known as gautier | ||
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en M$ file systems dont have permissions bit. is it on vfat or ntfs ? | 08:56 |
| majikins | using nfs and having the workstations mount the correct nfs mounted home directory on login | 08:56 |
| Flannel | pocketdrummer: right. The first completely removes wine (the package) the second bit removes your wine directory (where all your wine config/programs are) | 08:56 |
| rosebuntu | mount -t /dev/cdrom | 08:56 |
| * natlinuxnewb pulls out his paper clip | 08:56 | |
| rosebuntu | cdrom drive will work | 08:56 |
| === gautier is now known as gautiay | ||
| Agent_bob | <rosebuntu> mount -t /dev/cdrom <<< type /dev/cdrom ??? | 08:57 |
| ph0rensic | rosebuntu: I think it is mounted just not running? | 08:57 |
| majikins | anyone? | 08:57 |

| natlinuxnewb | rosebuntu, sec. Ill try what you said | 08:58 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, i dont use ntfs or vfat i use ubuntu's filesystem | 08:58 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en ok then you want something like chmod 755 /path/to/dir | 08:58 |
| nilou | lyte: I alredy installed this module, but the problem is that in CGI the program is suppose to just print to the console and then the webserver is responsible for transfering the output to the client but ... | 08:58 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, it still says the owner is root | 08:58 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: rosebuntu was just trying to help.. dont get down on him just because the help wasn't what you wanted... atleast hes trying to help | 08:59 |
| === gautiay is now known as gauti | ||

| === PaTeeLA is now known as pati_ | ||
| natlinuxnewb | just got to my...annoyance level. Been at this since 5 days ago | 09:00 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en that's not permission thats ownership different critters | 09:00 |
| Ensou | anyone with ubuntu on playstation 3 ? | 09:00 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: sorry, just tyring to keep it friendly.. I wouldn't want someone to make me feel like a noob when Im only trying to help | 09:00 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, well it says permissions lol | 09:00 |
| nilou | lyte: what happenes is that when i write this program: "PRINT HELLO WORLD" it wont show up on the browser but when i return string containing exactly the same string with exception that it is returned by a function called index it works | 09:00 |
| === pati_ is now known as mkquist | ||
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic Thanx. I appreciate it. | 09:01 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en can't help what it says. i'll repost the command if you need it. | 09:01 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en then you want to own the dir not change the perms. sudo chown your_name:your_group /path/to/dir | 09:01 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: So what are we going to do with your disk | 09:01 |
| rosebuntu | is anybody else except american? i'm korean | 09:01 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, The paper clips works | 09:01 |
| Ensou | rosebuntu > thailand here | 09:01 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: paperclips??? | 09:01 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, well its not working it still says root should i use -r? | 09:01 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, just trying to see if itll install | 09:01 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en but! let me caution you. you don't want to go messing with ownership and permissions on system directories. | 09:02 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, its desktop | 09:02 |
| lyte | nilou: sorry have to go make dinner, but this is outside of my scope anyway, a channel about apache or python would probably be the right place to find out where the actual place you should be asking this question is though | 09:02 |
| rosebuntu | ensou / yeh. thailand is good | 09:02 |
| === lyte is now known as lyte|away | ||
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, its a file on my desktp | 09:02 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, yeah paperclips...force opening the CD drive. That little hole for for that purpose | 09:02 |
| ph0rensic | jay-oh-en: What he is saying your system may not work if you chown the wrong system files | 09:02 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en how did you make that root owned in the first place.... never mind i think i know. | 09:02 |
| Ensou | rosebuntu > thailand is good yeah and my connection sucks | 09:02 |
| Agent_bob | !gksudo | jay-oh-en | 09:03 |
| ubotu | jay-oh-en: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 09:03 |
| pawan12 | hi | 09:03 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: oh hmm.. I like the brute force ++ knife technique myself | 09:03 |
| pawan12 | how to repair grub | 09:03 |
| CM` | hey on ubuntu can you navigate sort of with like mouse strokes | 09:03 |
| rosebuntu | Korea is more worse | 09:03 |
| CM` | move your mouse top the top left and you can do stuff | 09:03 |
| CM` | or am I thinking of PC linux | 09:03 |
| Frogzoo | !grub | pawan12 | 09:03 |
| ubotu | pawan12: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:03 |
| macogw | CM`: compiz can do some of that | 09:03 |
| pocketdrummer | So, if you install Wine from the http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt gutsy main repository on a 64-bit version of Ubuntu, does it install a 64-bit version of wine or a 32-bit version? | 09:03 |
| ph0rensic | <-- been to thailand but not korea | 09:03 |
| macogw | CM`: you mean stuff like "expose" on a mac? | 09:03 |
| CM` | how do I use compiz x.x | 09:03 |
| CM` | I cant figure out how to customize my linux | 09:04 |
| CM` | it is driving me crazy | 09:04 |
| CM` | I can't even change the theme | 09:04 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, it was a file in my webserver and it was owned by root but then when i moved it to my desktop it was still owned by root | 09:04 |
| pawan12 | grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 | 09:04 |
| pawan12 | (hd1,6) | 09:04 |
| pawan12 | now | 09:04 |
| macogw | CM`: its pre-installed with ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy). lots of config options require you have compizconfig-settings-manager installed | 09:04 |
| Ensou | ph0rensic > :) | 09:04 |
| Ensou | so there's nobody here with a ps3 ...? | 09:04 |
| Agent_bob | Frogzoo don't happen to know the debian .deb that expands software midi do you ? | 09:04 |
| Frogzoo | pocketdrummer: wine does not & will not run on 64 bit | 09:04 |
| ph0rensic | CM you have it installed? | 09:04 |
| nilou | here is what exactly i mean: http://pastebin.ca/904808 | 09:04 |
| Frogzoo | Agent_bob: apt-cache search midi | less | 09:05 |
| pocketdrummer | Frogzoo: You sure? Cuz, that's how I installed it and it's running like a charm, lol. | 09:05 |
| macogw | CM`: customizing theme stuff... install emerald as well so you have transparent window borders for compiz, and you can drag n drop gtk themes from gnome-look.org into the tool in system -> preferences -> appearance | 09:05 |
| pawan12 | grub> root (hd1,6) | 09:05 |
| pawan12 | Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 | 09:05 |
| Agent_bob | Frogzoo it's not in the ubuntu repos so that's kinda useless | 09:05 |
| natlinuxnewb | :( now its not doing anything at all. I've had enough for tonight. I'll see ....Sec... is there any way I can download an update directly? | 09:05 |
| CM` | I got emerald | 09:05 |
| ph0rensic | CM`: Do you have CCSM installed? | 09:05 |
| CM` | I also got GTK themes | 09:05 |
| Frogzoo | Agent_bob: ah | 09:05 |
| ph0rensic | CM`: What version ubuntu do you have | 09:05 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, it still is saying root | 09:05 |
| CM` | 7.10 | 09:05 |
| CM` | gutsy? I think | 09:05 |
| tarelerulz | I have a 64 bit Ubuntu 7.10 system. I am wanting to use some program that lets me do voice chat on yahoo's chat networks. I have looked at ghyach enhanded and it is all rpm and for i386 . anyone and I try yahelite and it works ,but not for the chat room log ins | 09:05 |
| ph0rensic | CM`: Did you install the compiz settings manager? | 09:05 |
| CM` | Im gettin that right now i guess | 09:06 |
| pawan12 | !pastebin | 09:06 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 09:06 |
| CM` | I though it would come with it | 09:06 |
| nilou | I have apache2 and libapache2-mod-python install, but i seem to face a funny problem: http://pastebin.ca/904808 | 09:06 |
| Agent_bob | Frogzoo i have it in my package cache if i can find the name of it. it got uninstalled somehow | 09:06 |
| nilou | anyone can help on that please? | 09:06 |
| ph0rensic | CM`: Thats probably the big thing you are looking for.. also did you get emerald-themes? | 09:06 |
| natlinuxnewb | tarelerulz, have you tried roger wilco or Ventrilo? | 09:06 |
| CM` | yeah | 09:06 |
| CM` | I got emerald themes | 09:06 |
| CM` | how do I load theme times too I went to gnome-look.com | 09:06 |
| CM` | and downloaded files they were in tar.gz format | 09:07 |
| CM` | inside them there is no theme file | 09:07 |
| tarelerulz | natlinuxnewb , I have not try either of those ? what are they ? | 09:07 |
| pawan12 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56042/ | 09:07 |

| natlinuxnewb | tarelerulz, how do you connect to the tahoo chat service? | 09:07 |
| ph0rensic | CM`: THere is an installer in emerald | 09:07 |
| natlinuxnewb | tarelerulz, *yahoo | 09:08 |

| CM` | there is an instaler in emerald | 09:09 |
| CM` | ? | 09:09 |
| brizben | ph0rensic, yes I tried to genisoimage to /media/disk from the cd rom but I could not figure it out. | 09:09 |
| natlinuxnewb | tarelerulz, Sorry. I meant what do you do to join the yahoo chat services? Through a website or through a 3rd party program? | 09:09 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en rename the dir | 09:09 |
| macogw | CM`: for the gnome themes, you just drag the .tar.gz into the appearance program | 09:09 |
| ph0rensic | CM`: Import function | 09:09 |
| CM` | yeah | 09:09 |
| CM` | it says it can't read it | 09:10 |
| neil_d | brizben: you can use 'dd' to create the .iso file anywhere you like | 09:10 |
| CM` | or see it or something | 09:10 |
| macogw | CM`: for emerald, run the emerald theme manager and click the import button and choose the .emerald file | 09:10 |
| Agent_bob | jay-oh-en mv my-old-dir-name my_new_dir_name | 09:10 |
| ph0rensic | brizben: You are just trying to copy a file from one place to another right? | 09:10 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, My CD is deaddead. I think just spending some $50-100 on a new drive will fix the prob. | 09:10 |
| brizben | neil_d, ok thanks I forgot about dd | 09:10 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: ok | 09:10 |

| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, mmmmmm... I have Ubuntu Linux 5.04 : The Hoary Hedgehog Release. Afaik thats not the latest. 7.10 is more newer | 09:14 |

| blag | Agent_bob: sry, lag... | 09:18 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, blag, ok. well...thanks for all the help tonight everyone | 09:18 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: A whole lot has changed from hoary ... I really would think it may break your syste, | 09:19 |
| _ruben | blag: just hit enter where you want the newline ;) | 09:19 |
| Agent_bob | blag you can also just hit [enter] in place of \n the quotes is what protects the string. | 09:19 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: Umm canyou do a net install | 09:19 |
| jay-oh-en | Agent_bob, i will paste it in terminal but i do know what the command means its renaming the blah folder to www then im copying the file to /var thanks :d | 09:19 |
| jay-oh-en | :D | 09:19 |

| Agent_bob | echo can't see past the newline if you don't | 09:24 |
| CM` | the apperance manager says about tar.gz | 09:24 |

| macogw | MrKeuner: thats not what aliases do | 09:30 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: it is pci-E | 09:30 |
| blag | Agent_bob: ah, that is weird. any idea why they did it that way? | 09:31 |
| CM` | apparently I can't use the import button | 09:31 |
| MrKeuner | macogw: can I do that? | 09:31 |
| Agent_bob | blag quotes act differently for a reason. if you want it to do one thing you quote it one way. if you want the same string to do something else you quote it differently. | 09:31 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: is your MB pci or pcie? | 09:31 |
| macogw | MrKeuner: aliases let you set, for example ls='ls --color' so if you type "ls" it automatically runs ls --color instead | 09:31 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: yeah, i know, pci-e. | 09:31 |
| CM` | it only works if I drag and drop even then some of the files only work | 09:31 |
| macogw | MrKeuner: are you talking about email? | 09:31 |
| MrKeuner | macogw: I mean I need two people to receive the messages sent to root | 09:31 |
| Agent_bob | blag that's why i pointed it out to you. | 09:31 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: Oh ok just making sure | 09:31 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: i m just curious about these dual port cards. | 09:31 |
| blag | Agent_bob: I guess I'm too used to the PHP way of thinking about quotes. But thanks for pointing that out, I'll have to delve deeper into quotes. | 09:31 |
| pawan12 | abny gui utility to repair grub | 09:32 |
| pawan12 | any | 09:32 |
| macogw | MrKeuner: if youre talking about email, youd set that up in the mailserver, i think | 09:32 |
| Agent_bob | blag welcome | 09:32 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: curious how? I have that brand actually.. everything worked out of the box other than editing xorg.conf | 09:32 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: both my monitors are VGA anyway, i am using one AGP port. so i might buy an expensive agp card that has twoports | 09:32 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: Are you wondering about the one card that is dvi? | 09:33 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: the dvi has a vga adapter that comes with it.. you can use the s-video port for a tv if you wanted.. | 09:33 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: i want to know if those cards are like a toggle-card. you can only use one at a time, like all other stuff, some ram slots, pci with old isa slots and such... | 09:33 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: No they are dual head, use both at the same time.. just not 3 at a time | 09:34 |
| blag | Agent_bob: since you seem to be far more knowledgeable than I: I got my script to work with short flags ("-h") with getopts, how do I get it to work with long options ("--help")? | 09:34 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: no, i ve tried s-video in the past. it's no good for me. | 09:34 |
| furythor | I need help to configure my external hard drive | 09:34 |
| Agent_bob | now if i could just find the name of that debian .deb that i installed to make midi work correctly ... | 09:35 |
| Agent_bob | blag i'll have to revisit the pastebin give me a sec to see what you are doing there | 09:35 |
| jimcooncat | I have a bash script I'd like to step through, one command at a time. Is there a tool or command I can use? | 09:35 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: Ok, either way... I would recommend using the dvi and vga port obviously.. (or both dvi depending on the card) | 09:35 |
| natlinuxnewb | Q. Does linux use or not use .exe files? | 09:35 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: No .. unles maybe in wine | 09:35 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: .exe is a m$ thing | 09:36 |
| blag | Agent_bob: I updated it, here's the link: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56044/ | 09:36 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: oh.... not 3 at a time... interesting. i expect the s-video to work nicely with other ports. cause usually people tend to use s-video to do presentation while reading from their monitor at the same time | 09:36 |
| neil_d | nataku_: wine can use them (sometimes) | 09:36 |
| Agent_bob | blag i'm not seeing any test for args ??? | 09:36 |
| Sjimmie | natlinuxnewb: you may give it any extention you like but if you want to "execute" it it should be a binary and has the chmod +x option on | 09:36 |
| [dcr] | natlinuxnewb: thats what Wine is for :D | 09:36 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, can you go to here...http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=198821&package_id=243411 and tell me which one i should DL and use? | 09:36 |
| Agent_bob | blag oh sorry didn't notice the update. | 09:36 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: With the nvidia cards you can use any of the two ports at a time... so vga+DVI VGA+s-video or DVI+VGA | 09:37 |
| natlinuxnewb | Sjimmie, thanx. that was what i needed | 09:37 |
| natlinuxnewb | [dcr], lol | 09:37 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: i think relatively speaking the cost for a DVI-to-vga converter is expensive, when it comes to a video card. the convert might cost $30 while a brand new dvi card will cost $50 | 09:37 |
| blag | natlinuxnewb: lol, the script I'm working on will allow machines to PXE boot to your computer and then dd partitions over a network | 09:37 |
| blag | Agent_bob: np | 09:37 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: thx good to know | 09:37 |
| ph0rensic | gold44: These cards come with the convert | 09:38 |
| natlinuxnewb | blag lol | 09:38 |
| gold44 | ph0rensic: yes, some do , some don'tknow | 09:38 |
| natlinuxnewb | I have a .sh on my desktop. how do i open it? | 09:38 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: Umm your installing this on windows so you need to get the .exe I'd go with the top one i386 win | 09:39 |
| Agent_bob | blag first option g|-gzip) <give that a try | 09:39 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, No. im installing this over Ubuntu 5.04 | 09:39 |
| natlinuxnewb | :) | 09:39 |
| Agent_bob | blag you may have trouble with posix --options and -- end options if you don't add a space too -- ) | 09:40 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: So this program gets installed on the working system?? Why is there a .exe format?? | 09:40 |
| blag | Agent_bob: Error: Unknown option - | 09:40 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, for the windows os. | 09:40 |
| MrKeuner | macogw: just to let you know, editing /etc/aliases worked for me. I just added a second user after a comma. now both receive root's messages. | 09:40 |
| natlinuxnewb | ph0rensic, you following? | 09:41 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: Not really you want to pm me? | 09:41 |

| blag | Agent_bob: and just for clarification, you meant I should add a space between "--" and ")", right? | 09:43 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: I think you install the package on the host system you will be installing from | 09:43 |
| ph0rensic | natlinuxnewb: In that case get the top .exe (i386) | 09:44 |

| maximilion_ | Will I have to install help separately for all programs I'm using ? | 09:55 |
| maximilion_ | (Since none were installed with GIMP) | 09:56 |
| osfameron | dumnut: it may be that you need to write a wvial script? If you don't get any other (better) responses, maybe try googling for sprint+linux+wvdial to see if other people have approached that way | 09:56 |
| natlinuxnewb | maximilion, there are good help files online for gimp. do you want to DL all those? | 09:56 |
| osfameron | dumnut: but latest ubuntu might have some graphical panel. last time I tried (a couple of releases back, that's how I attempted to resolve it) | 09:56 |
| maximilion_ | natlinuxnewb, I want F1 to work, and in case that fails, I want it to work like it's supposed to - open the html help files :) | 09:57 |

| mad_max02 | and its really getting on my nerves | 11:02 |
| ikonia | jimcooncat: so you don't get it | 11:02 |
| natlinuxnewb | I'm going to post something I dont understand. "Step 1. Use gparted to create a new primary partition and format it to ext3." | 11:03 |
| mad_max02 | and I'm sure its not the speakers coz I hear it too when I turn speakers off :D | 11:03 |
| jimcooncat | ikonia: I'd compile it but I don't want to screw up the 8.4 installation | 11:03 |
| Agent_bob | mad_max02 in terminal alsamixer scroll right to pc-speaker and check it's muted | 11:03 |
| ikonia | jimcooncat: there you go then | 11:03 |
| Ayabara | ikonia, maybe. it has intel hd audio, right? I can't get my mic to work. in alsamixer all I see is Master and PCM, and something called "Mic as Output" | 11:03 |
| natlinuxnewb | how do i use gparted to do that. I dont know how to read the devices in gparted | 11:03 |
| mad_max02 | Agent_bob, yeah dude. its muted | 11:03 |
| mad_max02 | I got NF570 Sli mobo it if helps anything | 11:04 |
| fstabb | i cant isntall ebox-network, any clue why? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56047/ | 11:04 |
| Agent_bob | mad_max02 humm and you stil have sound from it ? odd indeed. | 11:04 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: I wrote this about 2 years ago, it's still pretty valid and may help http://www.linuxfromscratch.org//lfs/faq.html#no-ptys | 11:04 |
| neversaynever | hello. i have installed ubuntu on my laptop. can i plug a projector device and use directly? or do i need a configuration? | 11:05 |
| Ayabara | ikonia, and the volume of the right headphone connector is much higher than the one on the left. any of this the case on your 1330? | 11:05 |
| mad_max02 | Agent_bob, yeah dude. Its what I say. Can it be maybe problem with drivers ? | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: I suspect udev rules don't have enoough scope to add more devices | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Ayabara: why are you asking me, I've not responded to any of your questions nor read any | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia no udev here. | 11:05 |
| mad_max02 | thats a HDA Nvidia with Realtek chipset | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia looking at your page. | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: how can you not be using udev ? | 11:05 |
| mad_max02 | but I get all sounds right and all 5+1 speakers work out of the box | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: ubuntu uses udev | 11:05 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia simple i removed it. | 11:05 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: that would explain it, just make the nodes then | 11:06 |
| mad_max02 | lol | 11:06 |
| fstabb | i cant isntall ebox-network, any clue why? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56047/ | here is the configuration file it complains about: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56048/ | 11:06 |
| Ayabara | ikonia, "<ikonia> Ayabara: 1330 here - does that help ?" | 11:06 |
| Ayabara | :-) | 11:06 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia i really doubt that the device node is missing. | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Ayabara: oooh, yes, I've got a 1330, I missed the actual question though | 11:06 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia it is probably more like a permissions issue | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: you need a node per terminal, MAKEDEV only creates $X ammount | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: yes, permissions are often a cause too | 11:07 |
| Ayabara | ikonia, ah. I just wondered if you have (had) the same issues as me. in short: does you front mic work? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: some hints on that page | 11:07 |
| ikonia | Ayabara: yes it does | 11:07 |
| mad_max02 | Agent_bob, do you maybe have a idea on what should I do ? | 11:07 |
| Ayabara | ikonia, out of the box? all I can see in alsamixer is master, pcm and "mic as output" | 11:08 |
| mad_max02 | Agent_bob, hehe I just thought of something. I can cut wires of that pc speaker :D | 11:08 |
| neversaynever | may someone help me? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | Ayabara yup, no problems. | 11:08 |
| ikonia | neversaynever: if you ask a question, people maybe able to | 11:08 |
| neversaynever | i have installed ubuntu on my laptop. can i plug a projector device and use directly? or do i need a configuration? | 11:08 |
| Ayabara | ikonia, ok. I'll go bug the alsa-people :) | 11:08 |
| ikonia | neversaynever: plug it in, then use the gnome display manager to set your resolution on the external device | 11:09 |
| natlinuxnewb | how can i make a new partition on my HD? Parted makes no sense to me. | 11:09 |
| mad_max02 | gparted | 11:09 |
| ikonia | neversaynever: depending on how the EDID id displayed you may need some manual edits | 11:09 |
| mad_max02 | natlinuxnewb, use gparted dude | 11:09 |
| neversaynever | manual edits in the Xconfig? | 11:09 |
| natlinuxnewb | mad_max02, how? | 11:09 |
| mad_max02 | ? | 11:09 |
| ikonia | neversaynever: maybe | 11:09 |
| epsi | is new ubuntu coming on april? was it 8.04? | 11:09 |
| mad_max02 | type gparted ? | 11:09 |
| Daviey | yes | 11:09 |
| ikonia | epsi: correct | 11:09 |
| fstabb | when in april | 11:10 |
| epsi | ok | 11:10 |
| ikonia | fstabb: no idea yet | 11:10 |
| mad_max02 | did anyone updated from lets say 7.04 to 7.10 with sucess ?? | 11:10 |
| natlinuxnewb | mad_max02, command not found | 11:10 |
| ikonia | mad_max02: many people | 11:10 |
| mad_max02 | natlinuxnewb, dude use synaptics to install it if not found | 11:10 |
| mad_max02 | ikonia, and do I need to set everything up again ? | 11:11 |
| mad_max02 | or will my settings remain ? | 11:11 |
| speedhunt3r | hi, is there a way to leave your network connection enabled when suspending the pc? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | mad_max02: somethings you may have to tweak, due to new versions, new ways of doing things, but mostly should be the same | 11:11 |
| ikonia | speedhunt3r: nope | 11:11 |
| ikonia | speedhunt3r: it can "wake on lan" | 11:11 |
| mad_max02 | I'm looking forward to pulse audio | 11:11 |
| natlinuxnewb | mad_max02, I search for gparted and cant find it under synaptics either. :( | 11:12 |
| fstabb | i would like full support for creative x-fi fati1lity + pulse audio. :) | 11:12 |
| speedhunt3r | ikonia, aw..i want it so that it leaves the connection on for downloads running but still suspends the pc | 11:12 |
| ikonia | speedhunt3r: then you can't suspend | 11:12 |
| mad_max02 | natlinuxnewb, did you enable repositories ?? | 11:13 |
| natlinuxnewb | probably not | 11:13 |
| mad_max02 | go to software sources and enable universe, multiverse and other sources | 11:13 |
| mad_max02 | and try again | 11:13 |
| natlinuxnewb | -.- | 11:14 |
| natlinuxnewb | mad_max02, thanx for your help. I'm going to bed. Ill try to sort this out tomorrow | 11:14 |
| Cew27 | prince_jammys: can you do me a favour jammy | 11:14 |
| caleb_ | hey there everyone | 11:15 |

| mad_max02 | natlinuxnewb, gn | 11:15 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: "device files system" basiclly | 11:15 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia it's in ram ? | 11:16 |

| Trel | Does anyone have a guide on how to configure a bloody 9 button mouse? This thing is really starting to get on my nerves. | 11:17 |
| ikonia | Agent_bob: bit of a tricky one to explain | 11:17 |
| Trel | The new X.org versions have depreciated most of what I've read. | 11:17 |
| speedhunt3r | Trel, wow 9 buttons? you're going to pilot ur computer? haha | 11:17 |
| Cew27 | prince_jammys: u there ?? | 11:17 |
| Trel | Four actual buttons and I'm assuming 5 different motions with the scroll wheel. | 11:18 |

| rosebuntu_ | hey funny stuff http://ubuntu.hubweb.net/bbs/zboard.php?id=ucc&no=32 | 11:19 |
| jscinoz | man some stuff is royally messed up now. | 11:20 |
| maximilion | speedhunt3r, mice with many buttons are extremely useful for f.ex. 3D artists, and Linux should have the luxurious configuration options it deserves, in my opinion | 11:20 |
| Agent_bob | URL's with & in them are evil | 11:20 |
| rosebuntu_ | http://ubuntu.hubweb.net/bbs/zboard.php?id=ucc&no=30 | 11:20 |
| rosebuntu_ | funny interview i like Mark | 11:20 |
| Trel | I've got the mouse detected with evdev. It is just a matter of mapping these buttons or actually getting them to do anything. | 11:20 |
| speedhunt3r | maximilion, good point... a regular user like me couldn't see the use for 9 buttons though =p | 11:21 |
| maximilion | Trel, let me know if you find an app that lets you map mouse buttons! | 11:21 |
| Trel | I usually use a touchpad on a portable so I've never given much thought to more buttons. | 11:21 |
| jscinoz | Whenever firefox is doing something (loading a page, autocomplete in URL), xorg uses 100% CPU, some times this is so bad my entire system hangs and not even sysreq can reboot, any ideas? seems like https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/38131 | 11:21 |

| maximilion | speedhunt3r, well those mice rock in browsers too... 2-directional scroll wheel, home/end to go all the way up and down, middle click to open link in new tab, one button to save link as... the options are endless | 11:22 |

| dgjones | Trel, does anything in this help? I know its not ubuntu, but maybe something might give you a hint what to look at http://forum.freespire.org/archive/index.php/t-1638.html | 11:23 |
| jscinoz | you could always go for the highlight=copy, middleclick=paste | 11:23 |

| speedhunt3r | Slade^^, put / as in ur root partition for ur 40 gigs | 11:25 |
| Slade^^ | and that 5 gigs | 11:25 |
| Agent_bob | Slade^^ prolly the 5 and make home the 40 | 11:25 |
| ikonia | kkouwe: this is not debian support | 11:25 |
| Slade^^ | should be left as it is? | 11:25 |
| Slade^^ | ??? | 11:25 |
| speedhunt3r | Slade^^, for swap, use /swap | 11:25 |

| jscinoz | https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/38131 is what im having atm | 11:27 |
| trel | I'm curious if it will even do what I expect if I get them correctly configured | 11:27 |
| rosebuntu_ | 512 mb swap is sufficient | 11:27 |
| speedhunt3r | yeah 5 gigs? insane. | 11:27 |
| Agent_bob | rosebuntu_ i don't use swap. | 11:27 |
| ikonia | kkouwe: sit and wait in the channel then, just because they are asleep does not mean ubuntu picks up #debians's slack | 11:27 |
| jscinoz | thats nothing | 11:27 |
| jscinoz | 8gb swap here lol | 11:27 |
| speedhunt3r | i've got 1 gb and it hardly uses it | 11:27 |
| kkouwe | ;) ok ok | 11:27 |
| jscinoz | 4gb ram 8gb swap >_< | 11:27 |
| jscinoz | dont ask. | 11:27 |

| sangprabo | Hi, everyone. I want to delete all files which have "~" as suffix in ~/public_html. I did "rm -R ~/public_html/*~", but it didn't work. What kind of command should I do? Btw, if I do "locate ~/public_html/*~", I got what I want... Thanks | 11:27 |
| rosebuntu_ | 4gb ram doesn't need swap partition | 11:28 |
| speedhunt3r | Agent_bob, it's not for me, it was for Slade ^^ but that guy left the channel. | 11:28 |
| jimcooncat | I would like to get the prevu package for my gutsy. It says it's in universe, but aptitude can't find it. What am I doing wrong? | 11:28 |
| jscinoz | *contemplates upgrading to hardy alpha* | 11:28 |
| Agent_bob | speedhunt3r yes i know. was only commenting as you were. | 11:28 |
| Trel | jscinoz: I've got it running now on a couple of machines. | 11:28 |
| erUSUL | rosebuntu_: you need it for suspend to disk if you used and even if you never hit it a swap partition is allways a good idea | 11:28 |
| Trel | jscinoz: Alpha really means Alpha this time. | 11:28 |
| jscinoz | more broken than usual? | 11:29 |
| Trel | don't do it unless you can afford to format the machine | 11:29 |

| ikonia | jscinoz: your language is uncalled for and not welcome | 11:29 |
| jscinoz | ! | 11:29 |

| Trel | ikonia: A bit harsh, no? | 11:29 |
| ikonia | Trel: no | 11:29 |

| jscinoz | easy on the conservsauce :P | 11:30 |
| jscinoz | lol | 11:30 |

| jscinoz | *ignores the wannabe op* | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Trel: no, it's to support ubuntu | 11:31 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: carry on using the language then, | 11:31 |
| Trel | ikonia: You can't tell me that you haven't used worse language than that when X has started to act up. | 11:31 |
| Trel | Anyway.. back to my mouse. | 11:31 |
| ikonia | Trel: not in a public Irc channel, no | 11:31 |
| jscinoz | so what would your rather i say.. "This xorg screwyness is making me rather frustrated" - no thanks. | 11:31 |
| Yellow^flu | we talking about swearing? | 11:31 |

| jscinoz | yes | 11:32 |
| Ayabara | are there any decent p2p clients on ubuntu? I tried amule, but it had a bit too much junk in the search results for my liking | 11:33 |
| jscinoz | mldonkey. | 11:33 |
| Trel | Ayabara: Which protocol? | 11:33 |
| Ayabara | can't blame that on the client maybe | 11:33 |
| jscinoz | mldonkey has it, whatever protocol you need. | 11:33 |
| Yellow^flu | anyone has had succes with the 64-vit drivers for the X-Fi? | 11:33 |
| mad_max02 | Ayabara, then u didnt search like you should | 11:33 |
| Yellow^flu | *bit | 11:33 |
| Ayabara | Trel, don't know actually. someplace where there is stuff to search | 11:33 |
| Ayabara | jscinoz, thanks for the tip | 11:33 |
| speedhunt3r | Ayabara, you could try gnutella | 11:33 |
| mad_max02 | Yellow^flu, I had X-Fi in my 64bit box | 11:33 |
| Ayabara | mad_max02, maybe so. :-) | 11:34 |
| jscinoz | ayabara, mldonkey itself is a daemon, you need an interface for it, try mldonkey-gui for a basic one, i'd go with sancho (not in repo, google it) | 11:34 |
| mad_max02 | Yellow^flu, but I got it out and sold it :( I'm using onboard chip now | 11:34 |
| mad_max02 | p2p like mule, torrent, dc++ ?? | 11:34 |
| jscinoz | i wish the drivers for 8400 cards weren't so fail at the moment. 8400 has major problems on all platforms thanks to lazy nvidia | 11:34 |
| Yellow^flu | mad_max02: how did dyou get it to work? firstly it says "only 64-bit supported" although it is 64-bit - changed the uname switch in the ./install, then I get compiling errors | 11:34 |
| Lionel_of_Marsei | Ayabara : try Nicotine (Soulseek net) | 11:34 |
| rosebuntu_ | smoking is harmful | 11:35 |
| Yellow^flu | jscinoz: not only 8400, I went through hell and back to get my 8800GT installed -.- | 11:35 |
| mad_max02 | Yellow^flu, problem is that I got analog working. | 11:35 |
| mad_max02 | Yellow^flu, but I bought that card for digital out | 11:35 |
| jscinoz | <3 envy | 11:35 |
| * Ayabara is overwhelmed by all the suggestions | 11:35 | |
| Yellow^flu | mad_max02: my onboard works here too, but I really want the X-Fi to work ;) | 11:35 |
| jscinoz | still keep around the nvidia xxx.run for when stuff breaks | 11:35 |
| Trel | It is quite odd | 11:35 |
| mad_max02 | Yellow^flu, well, thats same as I had ATI graphic but sold it and got me nvidia :D | 11:36 |
| jscinoz | yellow, afaik, x-fi = no drivers | 11:36 |
| mad_max02 | I just want it to work | 11:36 |
| jscinoz | blame creative. | 11:36 |
| Trel | Firefox seems to be ignoring the forward and back buttons. They are correctly mapped according to the output from xev. | 11:36 |
| Yellow^flu | jscinoz: oh, I blame them, don't worry, but they did release analogue output only drivers - they just fail to work | 11:36 |
| mad_max02 | there are some posts of people managing to get X-Fi to work but I think its a 1 out of 10 | 11:36 |
| jscinoz | >_< | 11:36 |
| Trel | I suppose I've mapped them, but I never told it what to do with them. | 11:36 |
| Yellow^flu | and Creative has - after 2.5 years - provided OSS with the source | 11:36 |
| jscinoz | are there any 3d benchmarking apps for linux | 11:37 |
| Yellow^flu | unfortunately they forgot about all linux distributions use ALSA these days | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | i've been using 3dmark03 under wine >_< | 11:37 |
| mad_max02 | jscinoz, thats bad | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | i realise. | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | lol | 11:37 |
| mad_max02 | jscinoz, u need opengl benchmark | 11:37 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: there is one, however the name escapes me | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | yes i know | 11:37 |
| Yellow^flu | I don't think that running 3Dmark in wine gives you a good score :) | 11:37 |
| mad_max02 | maybe ask google ? | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | dont know of any madmax | 11:37 |
| abbe | glgears? ;) | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | no | 11:37 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: there is one that tests the card quite hard | 11:37 |
| mad_max02 | lol | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | glxgears = not benchmark | 11:37 |
| mad_max02 | glxgears :D ahaha nice one | 11:37 |
| jscinoz | what is it called ikonia | 11:37 |
| mad_max02 | I get over 20.000fps in glxgears :D | 11:38 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: I can't think of the name, I've never used it, trying to find it | 11:38 |
| jscinoz | didnt glxgears use to have a toggle you needed to show fps, and it was something like --i-acknowledge-that-glxgears-is-not-a-benchmark | 11:38 |
| jscinoz | cheers | 11:38 |
| Yellow^flu | (for something completely different: when will 8.04 release?) | 11:38 |
| jscinoz | april | 11:38 |
| Yellow^flu | ah, thx | 11:38 |
| Agent_bob | mad_max02 well. i get over 20fps too | 11:38 |
| jscinoz | versioning scheme = Y.MM | 11:38 |
| === trel is now known as Trel | ||
| Yellow^flu | oh! | 11:39 |
| mad_max02 | Agent_bob, what gc ? | 11:39 |
| jscinoz | i get.. barely 800 thanks to 8400 being fail | 11:39 |
| Yellow^flu | I didn't know that was the logic behind their numbering | 11:39 |
| Agent_bob | mad_max02 nv | 11:39 |
| Yellow^flu | thx alot, jscinoz | 11:39 |
| mad_max02 | jscinoz, its not bad card. you didnt install it right | 11:39 |
| jscinoz | np | 11:39 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: this isn't what I was looking for, but may help http://globs.sourceforge.net/ | 11:39 |
| mad_max02 | Agent_bob, lol :D what model dude :D | 11:39 |
| jscinoz | thanks | 11:39 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: thats not the one I'm thinking of | 11:39 |
| jscinoz | mad_max, trust me i've got it isntalled right, but i have so many screwed up things on this system and the drivers for 8400 suck on both linux and windows | 11:40 |
| Trel | Does anyone know if I need to use a program such as imwheel to give these buttons actual uses or is that done via some other method? | 11:40 |
| Agent_bob | mad_max02 you missed the point. "over 20fps" duh. | 11:40 |
| mad_max02 | ah :D | 11:40 |
| mad_max02 | lol | 11:40 |
| jscinoz | *points vaguely to 20+ page 8400 driver petition on nvnews* | 11:40 |
| mad_max02 | didnt read it right | 11:40 |
| Trel | Heh.. I miss my touchpad already. | 11:40 |
| mad_max02 | large monitor and small font = bad reading :D | 11:40 |
| feysalus | Hi, how do I change the default permissions of a CD-ROM drive? I can't access any files in the CD | 11:41 |
| kane77 | if I run a program through ssh if I logout will it be still running? | 11:41 |
| caleb_ | which 8400 you using? GS? | 11:41 |
| Yellow^flu | but... the last nvidia driverpack contains as well the driver for the 8400, no? | 11:41 |
| jscinoz | this is peculiar... anything opengl = 100% cpu usage (somtimes by ogl app, sometimes by xorg) yet glxinfo says i have direct rendering. | 11:42 |
| Yellow^flu | I just can't imagine my 8800 will work and a 8400 won't | 11:42 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 logout no. if you kill the client end of the ssh connection probably. or if you use --nohup | 11:42 |
| Cuteboi | Hi Friends | 11:42 |
| caleb_ | Someone get me up to speed... I have an 8400... there's a problem with drivers? O_o | 11:42 |
| jscinoz | yes | 11:42 |
| jscinoz | on every platform. | 11:42 |
| Cuteboi | May I come in ? | 11:42 |
| Cuteboi | :) | 11:42 |
| jscinoz | NEIN! | 11:42 |
| jscinoz | :P | 11:42 |
| Cuteboi | :D | 11:42 |
| caleb_ | what problem is there? | 11:42 |
| jscinoz | basically, its slow as a wet sloth. | 11:43 |
| Cuteboi | Lets play a small game here ... All u need to do is to guess the name of my country | 11:43 |
| jscinoz | australia | 11:43 |
| Cuteboi | nope | 11:43 |

| Cuteboi | :) | 11:43 |
| caleb_ | hrm, i haven't had any issues... even running nwn2 in wine | 11:43 |
| subtle | Anybody who knows if you can access windows in gnome from the shell? for example modify their positions? | 11:43 |
| Cuteboi | oh | 11:43 |
| Cuteboi | sorry sir | 11:43 |
| subtle | I would like to write a "tile windows" shellscript. | 11:43 |
| caleb_ | problem im having is these weird faint "shadow bars" | 11:43 |
| Cuteboi | then I'll leave this channel & sorry for disturbing u all | 11:44 |
| O987987 | which one should i download for my ubuntu 7.10. VMware Player 2.0.2 for Linux.RPM or VMware Player 2.0.2 for Linux.TAR.GZ file? | 11:44 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 there is a little trick that i use to keep from having to hang around the ssh connection "ssh blah@blah openvt -fc 12 -- do_something there" the ssh connection only lasts long enough to start the app in the other console and closes. but the app runs normally and i can do what ever. | 11:44 |
| kane77 | Agent_bob, wow thanx | 11:45 |
| Yellow^flu | (cuteboi was Indian BTW) | 11:45 |
| jscinoz | ikonia, globs fails to build >_< | 11:45 |
| Yellow^flu | O987987: the TAR.GZ | 11:45 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: typical, I'm still looking for the one I actually meant | 11:45 |
| O987987 | anyone? | 11:45 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 just remember what vt number you open. and you can use the process table to check on it later. or kill it or what ever. | 11:45 |
| O987987 | thnx | 11:45 |
| jscinoz | cheers | 11:45 |
| Yellow^flu | O987987: you'll have to comple it yourself | 11:46 |
| Yellow^flu | O987987: there is a tool to convert RPM to DEB though, but it's not a good way to work | 11:46 |
| dgjones | !rpm | 0987987, if its not in synaptic, I guess you'll have to compile it yourself, rpm is not recommended | 11:46 |
| ubotu | 0987987, if its not in synaptic, I guess you'll have to compile it yourself, rpm is not recommended: 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) | 11:46 |
| O987987 | thnx guys | 11:46 |
| epsi | kane77: use "screen" program | 11:46 |
| Yellow^flu | dgjones: : ah, yesn, alien was the program I meant | 11:46 |
| kane77 | Agent_bob, just one more thing.. I cannot connect directly to school server so I have to connect to other ssh server then connect to one school server and then to the school server I need to connect to.. hwo can I automate this? | 11:47 |
| ari_stress | good evening :) | 11:47 |
| kane77 | epsi, hmm.. have to look how it works | 11:47 |
| caleb_ | so has anyone else had the "horizontal shadow bars" problem, and if so, found a way to fix it? | 11:47 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 sure you can nest ssh commands. | 11:47 |
| klee | t | 11:47 |
| j2daosh | anyone in here ever done a mysqldump on their amarok DB? | 11:47 |
| caleb_ | searching the forums turned up nothing that could fix it for me | 11:47 |
| daurnimator | hey all | 11:47 |
| daurnimator | Startup manager assumes incorrectly | 11:48 |
| daurnimator | where can I change my boot drive manualy? | 11:48 |
| jscinoz | man i wish i had time to do a clean install | 11:48 |
| jscinoz | but i had to do so much driver hackery to make this thing work >_< | 11:48 |
| epsi | kane77: I use it for example to run irc-client in uni server. It keeps running when I logout ssh | 11:48 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 you use public keys or type in a password ? | 11:48 |
| miska | hi.. i need a program for linux to windows remote desktop..?? | 11:48 |
| jscinoz | miska, tsclient | 11:48 |
| Trel | jscinoz: Which card do you have exactly? | 11:48 |
| O987987 | do you think if i run vista in VMware Player 2.0.2 for Linux my wireless sprint usb card will work? | 11:48 |
| jscinoz | 8400M GS, core clock=400, memclock=600 | 11:49 |
| O987987 | anyone? | 11:49 |
| kane77 | Agent_bob, password | 11:49 |
| Yellow^flu | O987987: sure, just bridge the connection | 11:49 |
| O987987 | ok good | 11:49 |
| O987987 | thnx | 11:49 |

| jscinoz | ikonia, SPECviewperf? | 11:49 |
| Yellow^flu | so, once more, anyone managed to get a X-Fi working in 64-bit ? | 11:49 |
| jscinoz | nevermidn iknoia, misread the page that was linked on | 11:50 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 well you would probably have to use expect to truely audomate that. and i don't reccomend that. because the password would be in plain text form on your box. but you can still nest the commands and it will prompt for each password individually | 11:50 |
| kane77 | Agent_bob, ok. thanx | 11:51 |
| Yellow^flu | ( aargh 39.5°C ) | 11:51 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 example ssh blah@blah1 ssh blah@blah2 ssh user@final_dest command to run | 11:51 |
| Agent_bob | you'll get prompted three times with that example tho ^ | 11:52 |
| ikonia | jscinoz: nope, that wasn't it either | 11:52 |
| jscinoz | doh | 11:52 |
| josemi | I new in this...how does it work? are there any other chats? | 11:52 |
| Agent_bob | kane77 but adding something like that to a script will save a lot of typing. | 11:52 |
| chafka | how can i costumize the setting of my lap top.. when i close it i want linux automaticly get hibernate..??? | 11:53 |
| josemi | how can i change chanel please? | 11:53 |
| Yellow^flu | josemi: type /join #channelname | 11:54 |
| Agent_bob | josemi /join #channel | 11:54 |
| Yellow^flu | change "channelname" by the name of your channel of course | 11:54 |
| josemi | thanks | 11:54 |
| jscinoz | chafka, system > preferences > power management > when the laptop lid is closed | 11:54 |
| jscinoz | you can have different settings for on AC power or battery | 11:54 |
| Yellow^flu | what's the website again to post snippets? | 11:54 |
| josemi | and how can i know the names of the chanels? | 11:54 |
| dgjones | !paste | Yellow^flu | 11:55 |
| ubotu | Yellow^flu: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 11:55 |
| Yellow^flu | ah, thx dgjones | 11:55 |
| Agent_bob | josemi don't do it. but /list will list them all. freenode is too big for that command imo | 11:55 |
| josemi | ok | 11:55 |
| j2daosh | how do i either reconfigure amarok, or uninstall it so I can do a reinstall from tarbal? | 11:55 |
| josemi | so I have to try and thats all | 11:55 |
| josemi | thanks | 11:55 |
| Agent_bob | j2daosh sudo apt-get remove --purge amarok ??? | 11:56 |
| wers | how do I untar using the command line? :) | 11:57 |
| Agent_bob | wers tar -xf filename | 11:57 |
| wers | thanks Agent_bob | 11:57 |
| Yellow^flu | Well, this is my output when I try to install the X-Fi for ALSA. I don't know what to make of it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56054/ | 11:57 |
| Agent_bob | wers man tar for any additional switches you might want | 11:58 |

| Yellow^flu | I prefer Gnome on KDE, really | 11:59 |
| Agent_bob | Gnome on KDE ? | 11:59 |
| Yellow^flu | I guess "on" wasn't the proper English word | 12:00 |
| Agent_bob | Yellow^flu i was only talking about he channel really. i don't have x installed | 12:00 |

| Agent_bob | yeah | 12:01 |
| jscinoz | bitchx is awesome for uber system borked chat :P | 12:02 |
| Yellow^flu | what I miss in linux is a good mIRC alternative. Konversation, BitchX,... none of these is as good | 12:02 |
| Agent_bob | yeah i'm the guy that doesn't use anythign everyone else uses. no xorg no partitions no swap space no bash .... | 12:02 |
| Yellow^flu | lol | 12:02 |
| j2daosh | Yellow^flu: just use irssi | 12:02 |
| Genjix | Hi all | 12:03 |
| j2daosh | i use bash cuz i hate the lack of tab completion in csh | 12:03 |
| Yellow^flu | j2daosh: after a quick glance that doesn't seem to give what I like. But let me tell you first why I like mIRC | 12:03 |
| Agent_bob | j2daosh understandable | 12:03 |
| Yellow^flu | mIRC gives one window in which different windows can be organized | 12:03 |
| Yellow^flu | really handy if you are on lots of channels | 12:04 |
| j2daosh | o...so you want something like say the 'chatzilla' extension for firefox :P | 12:04 |
| j2daosh | if you were on a windows box right now :P | 12:04 |
| Yellow^flu | no clue, I never used chatzilla | 12:04 |
| === son-son is now known as co_666 | ||
| j2daosh | well actually, it might have a linux port...not sure. when stuck with windows i use chatzilla (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16) | 12:05 |
| recon | you could always try the seamonkey suite... | 12:06 |
| Agent_bob | ikonia i forgot that you were looking for a definition of the pts fs. if you didn't find one don't worry with it. | 12:07 |
| jscinoz | ikonia, is it glmark? | 12:07 |
| DrShtopor_ | Ёптить, вас так много | 12:07 |

| Yellow^flu | daurnimator: oh, that was a possibility too | 12:10 |
| j2daosh | maybe run mirc under wine? | 12:10 |

| Yellow^flu | daurnimator: gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:12 |

| Yellow^flu | daurnimator: did you use the "gksudo" | 12:13 |
| Yellow^flu | ? | 12:13 |
| daurnimator | what/where is this default stored? | 12:13 |
| daurnimator | Yellow^flu: no... | 12:13 |
| Agent_bob | daurnimator if you read the comments in the menu.lst it tells you how | 12:13 |
| daurnimator | what does it do? | 12:13 |
| hfmls | hi | 12:13 |
| Yellow^flu | well, if you don't gksudo/sudo you can't save it | 12:13 |
| daurnimator | oh, thats not a problem | 12:14 |
| daurnimator | its fine when I edit it | 12:14 |
| daurnimator | just when I a script changes it for me | 12:14 |
| Yellow^flu | when you update the kernel it should only add new lines, not remove the ones you made yourself | 12:14 |
| daurnimator | its grabs its defaults for somewhere else | 12:14 |
| daurnimator | same with startup manager | 12:14 |

| Yellow^flu | ? | 12:20 |
| Agent_bob | j2daosh no. when you start building things then you have to have all the dev stuff and there is tons | 12:20 |
| astro76 | j2daosh: -dev packages are never dependencies for software, only for compiling | 12:20 |
| Thirsteh | generally if an application complains that it's missing header/development files, you'll want to install the "-dev" version of whatever package it needs | 12:20 |
| Ermok | ]I'm not sure by what type, butit doesn't connect | 12:21 |
| Yellow^flu | oh, that's a very clear problem description Ermok | 12:21 |
| Thirsteh | they aren't installed by default because they take up space and are generally only needed while compiling | 12:21 |
| Ermok | Sorry >.> | 12:21 |

| astro76 | lxusr: open the terminal, then sudo su - user | 12:24 |
| vix | Agent_bob, I thought Ubuntu 7.10 got ntfs3g installed out of the box? | 12:24 |
| Trel | I'd say Ubuntu desperately needs a better way to configure multibutton mice. | 12:25 |
| * Agent_bob </shrugs> i dont do windows and i'm using the LTS | 12:25 | |
| hfmls | in x-chat how do i open 2 servers | 12:25 |
| hfmls | ? | 12:25 |
| Agent_bob | vix but the page has more than how to install ntfs-3g | 12:25 |
| Yellow^flu | re | 12:26 |
| Agent_bob | vix you asked how to mount them. and that's what the page is focused on. | 12:26 |
| Yellow^flu | yes, 7.10 has ntfs-3g out of the box | 12:26 |
| vix | Agent_bob, okay i see.. | 12:27 |
| vix | Agent_bob, i installed the ntfs configuration tool now and started it and received an error message like this : $LogFile indicates unclean shutdown (0, 0) | 12:28 |
| vix | Failed to mount '/dev/sdc1': Operation not supported | 12:28 |
| vix | Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use. Choose one action: | 12:28 |
| Yellow^flu | vix: force the mount | 12:28 |
| vix | yell0w_, how? | 12:29 |
| Thirsteh | vix, you can force it or you can boot Windows and reboot Ubuntu to clear the lock | 12:29 |
| j2daosh | checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3 and < 4.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! | 12:29 |
| Thirsteh | forcing a lock override isn't recommended if you dualboot Windows | 12:29 |
| whabo | can anyone help me to boot up xubuntu on a pentium II using the alternative CD .. as for i only have 128 MBS of RAM? and under the boot sequence in the bios it only has the option to boot from C only or DIsabled? | 12:29 |
| Agent_bob | vix better to boot windows and let it clean the fs up first. | 12:29 |
| fadey | Hi! Need help. 2-6-22-14 kernel fails to boot on my laptop. It falls into initramfs shell after failing to find a root partition. I see neither hda nor sda (or mapper) devices in /dev | 12:29 |
| vix | Thirsteh, can you explain a bit whats going on.. windows is locking the ntfs drive ? | 12:29 |
| j2daosh | i tried installing qt3-dev-tools (apt-get said it wa a substitue for qt3-dev) but still no joy | 12:29 |
| Thirsteh | vix, Windows mounts and umounts drives too. If there's an unclean shutdown, the drive wasn't unmounted. If you force a mount in Linux, Windows might give you trouble about the drive | 12:30 |
| Thirsteh | so like Agent_bob said, what you wanna do if you're able is to simply boot Windows, shut it down and boot Ubuntu so the drive gets cleared up | 12:31 |
| vix | Thirsteh, Agent_bob : okay thank you guys, I will try that. | 12:31 |
| vix | brb. | 12:31 |
| whabo | can anyone help me to boot up xubuntu on a pentium II using the alternative CD .. as for i only have 128 MBS of RAM? and under the boot sequence in the bios it only has the option to boot from C only or DIsabled? | 12:31 |
| Agent_bob | fadey modprobe ide-generic or ide-disk and ext3 then exit and see if it finds it or loops right back to the busybox prompt. | 12:31 |
| Yellow^flu | and if you can't boot windows, just force the mount (I | 12:31 |
| Agent_bob | fadey when you type exit in that initramfs (busybox shell) it tries to continue the boot process incase you didn't know that. | 12:33 |
| fadey | Agent_bob: thanks. I'll try it. Should I regenerate initramfs image with those options? | 12:33 |
| Agent_bob | fadey yes i've had to rebuild initramfs several times. | 12:34 |
| fadey | Agent_bob: it's true. didn't know that. | 12:34 |
| fadey | Agent_bob: thanks | 12:34 |
| Agent_bob | fadey also the mknod command is in busybox too you can make the device nodes if you want to. | 12:34 |
| Agent_bob | like mknod /dev/hda6 b 3 6 or mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1 | 12:35 |

| Thirsteh | peleg, 'sudo chmod 0777 /var/run/screen' | 12:49 |
| lxusr | hello all | 12:49 |
| lxusr | how can i remove an user | 12:49 |
| Thirsteh | peleg, then try the command again | 12:49 |
| peleg | Thirsteh: but I don't want to chmod this folder to 777; why should I ? | 12:50 |
| cyril | je cherche le nom du paquet pour msn | 12:50 |

| lxusr | vix, thanks | 12:50 |
| Yellow^flu | cyril: c'est seulementa anglophone ici, tu dois aller a #ubuntu-fr pour aide en français | 12:50 |
| vix | then select one and delete. | 12:50 |
| Yellow^flu | *seulement | 12:50 |
| Thirsteh | peleg, I'm guessing there's a binary there that needs to be executable by normal users, or a file that needs to be writable. It's not a huge security breach if that's what you're concerned about | 12:51 |
| Yellow^flu | (cyril: soit, c'est amsn que tu cherches) | 12:51 |
| Thirsteh | peleg, probably it's the latter since it wants you to chmod the folder | 12:51 |
| peleg | Thirsteh: ok, but it is still weird. on my Debian I didn't need to do that. | 12:52 |
| alek66 | does anyone knows how to set audacious as my mp3 default application | 12:53 |
| Thirsteh | peleg, I don't have a lot of experience with screen, sorry. You could try just chmodding it 0766 and seeing if it'll run | 12:53 |
| Dr_willis | alek66, right click on a mp3 file. check the properties/dialog box's - you set the default app in there somewhere.. | 12:54 |
| peleg | Thirsteh: thanks. | 12:54 |
| vix | How do i set the default screen resolution when I log in? Everytime i log in I get a lower resolution than I should.. ( Got latest fglrx driver installed for my ati card ) | 12:59 |

| vix | LadyNikon, 75 Hz | 13:05 |
| vix | its an 19" capable of showing 1280x1024, but I get 800x600 when I log in. | 13:05 |
| LadyNikon | vix: have you checked to see that the resolution matches that frequency? | 13:05 |
| penguin92 | vix: as i said above when i press mute it mutes the headphone channel | 13:05 |
| vix | LadyNikon, I guess i havent :S | 13:06 |
| vix | penguin92, u dont want to mute headphone when u press mute? | 13:07 |
| vix | LadyNikon, how do I check that? | 13:08 |
| penguin92 | no i want it to mute speakers | 13:08 |
| LadyNikon | penguin92: what do you want to mute? I guess is a better question | 13:08 |
| penguin92 | LadyNikon: speakers of pcm 2 | 13:08 |
| LadyNikon | vix: check your manufacture specs for the monitor.. and see if the frequency changes for the resolution | 13:08 |

| furythor | babo_ what kind ranges they give for this "line of sight" ? | 13:38 |
| babo_ | furythor, ranges as in ? | 13:38 |
| babo_ | bw ? | 13:38 |
| furythor | any form... | 13:39 |
| wickedwackguy | •keito• no, just the "normal" partition app that is in the installer | 13:39 |
| furythor | like yards or meters | 13:39 |
| keito | wickedwackguy: its strange as I've formatted a disc from dreamlinux for an ubuntu install and had no trouble | 13:39 |
| maximilion | furythor, I think it's the usual super high bandwidth shared by all | 13:39 |
| keito | wickedwackguy: gnome partition manager? | 13:39 |
| lxusr | jrib, but how to remove user if he is still login in.. | 13:39 |
| lxusr | it is possible? | 13:39 |
| furythor | is there any reason to install "wine door" ? | 13:39 |
| babo_ | furythor, they don't say. their contention ratio is 24:1, they offer up to 10Mbps/2Mbps. They don't say anything on ranges though ... | 13:39 |
| jrib | lxusr: hmm, why not just log him out? | 13:40 |
| szachista__ | hi | 13:40 |
| lxusr | jrib: can you tell me how please | 13:40 |
| walkriver | hi | 13:40 |
| szachista__ | which option should i pass to program to run it with different locales? | 13:40 |
| wickedwackguy | •keito• so your saysing i should try to use the partiton app first and then the live install? | 13:40 |
| furythor | so that looks kind of weird for me... | 13:40 |
| keito | wickedwackguy: yeah try to wipe the disc, then install | 13:40 |
| lxusr | jrib, i am not on that user | 13:40 |
| mattisdada | hi | 13:41 |
| furythor | babo_ do they mention that will you get any kind connection box to your end ? | 13:41 |
| keito | you need to run gparted (gnome partition manager) as root | 13:41 |
| wickedwackguy | •keito• ok im booting up the other system | 13:41 |
| szachista__ | i want gimp to use english locales because it's easier to follow tutorial with that, but i can't figure out how to change it | 13:41 |
| keito | good luck | 13:41 |
| jrib | lxusr: well one way would be to reboot and never login with him. Or, you can kill all of his processes with: pkill -u public | 13:41 |
| gimme_snuggles | wickedwackguy: hey, is it not letting you commit the partition changes or the formatting changes? | 13:41 |
| lxusr | jrib, understood,thanks | 13:41 |
| keito | gimme_snuggles: looks that way | 13:41 |
| wickedwackguy | •gimme_snuggles• both | 13:42 |
| gimme_snuggles | keito: do u know which? | 13:42 |
| Raizard | Can anyone tell me how to install World Of Warcraft with wine? | 13:42 |
| b4l74z4r | i have a sound blaster card and i think that the sound is richer and more detailed in xp than in ubuntu, is it podssible that xp has "better" or different drivers than ubuntu? | 13:42 |
| babo_ | furythor, yeah, you get a receiever that you put on the roof | 13:42 |
| rofrol | hello | 13:42 |
| furythor | Babo_ and how connection comes to your computer ? | 13:43 |
| wickedwackguy | ahhhh crap | 13:43 |
| gimme_snuggles | wickedwackguy: oh both i see, and thats with the default installer on the cd? are you using a Gusty 7.10 install cd or a Live CD that runs the operating system from a cd? | 13:43 |
| wickedwackguy | i gotta go to work in 15 | 13:43 |
| babo_ | furythor, cable from the roof | 13:43 |
| keito | b4l74z4r: yeah its possible... are you using alsa or oss? | 13:43 |
| rofrol | how can i remotely connect to my pc if i am behind nat? | 13:43 |
| wickedwackguy | •gimme_snuggles• default installer | 13:43 |
| rofrol | i want to use ssh | 13:43 |
| b4l74z4r | keito, i don't know, i'm using whatever is default | 13:43 |
| wickedwackguy | •gimme_snuggles• on gutsy | 13:43 |
| furythor | babo_ you mean lan cable ? or some other kind of cable ? | 13:43 |
| dgjones | !ssh | rofrol | 13:43 |
| ubotu | rofrol: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 13:43 |
| keito | b4l74z4r: OSS i tend to find is better | 13:44 |
| maximilion | furythor, surely any connection connects via RJ65 :) | 13:44 |
| b4l74z4r | keito, ok, i'll try it out, thanks | 13:44 |
| maximilion | babo_, I think you can choose any connection that suits your needs - if it has an external modem, it usually connects fine to your network port. | 13:44 |
| gimme_snuggles | wickedwackguy: keito is right, u may be better off trying a different cd or program to repartition the drive. What error occurs when u try to partition the drive using the default installer | 13:44 |
| maximilion | babo_, I mean that I don't think you have to choose anything special afraid that it won't work in Linux :) | 13:45 |
| rofrol | dgjones, but i am behind nat | 13:45 |
| wickedwackguy | •gimme_snuggles• yeah, im gonna give that a shot | 13:45 |
| keito | b4l74z4r: type alt+F2 then gstreamer-properties to see what you're using | 13:45 |
| furythor | Can wine be run by multiple users, even if I install it for me ? | 13:46 |
| wickedwackguy | if GNOME didnt take this long ot load..... | 13:46 |
| maximilion | bye guys | 13:46 |
| babo_ | maximilion, k thanks | 13:46 |
| wickedwackguy | thanks for the tips! im gonna try them out after work! | 13:47 |
| wickedwackguy | cya! | 13:47 |
| gimme_snuggles | wickedwackguy: hmm | 13:47 |
| beardedchimp | is there a way to turn the keys into a mouse when my mouse batterys run out? | 13:48 |
| gimme_snuggles | i have a theory about wickedwackguy | 13:48 |
| rofrol | dgjones, i think i need reversing ssh connection: http://www.vdomck.org/2005/11/21/reversing-an-ssh-connection/ | 13:48 |
| gimme_snuggles | does the ubuntu live mount partitions on the drive by default? | 13:48 |
| gimme_snuggles | say existing linux or windows partitions? | 13:49 |
| amenado | nope | 13:49 |
| gimme_snuggles | it detects them but it doesnt mount them? | 13:49 |
| dgjones | rofrol, i've not got any experience in setting up ssh yet, i can only point you at ubotu's info, maybe ask in a bit more detail in the channel, if anybody is around that can help, i'm sure they will | 13:49 |
| amenado | correct, only detects them and do not mount them | 13:50 |

| gimme_snuggles | !audio | 13:58 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 13:58 |

| gimme_snuggles | but its quiet possible that it was a config problem | 14:09 |
| nemilar | aricz_: to avoid a reboot | 14:09 |
| mad_max02 | aricz_, well windows was my primary and/or only system for years | 14:09 |
| aricz_ | I would reboot for better performance.. but I'm just crazy | 14:09 |

| mad_max02 | I installed linux few months ago | 14:10 |
| mad_max02 | and I never had so much fun with win as I had with linux | 14:10 |

| mad_max02 | gimme_snuggles, trust me it works | 14:14 |

| gimme_snuggles | if i cant get it to work up to par ill chalk it up to my system being to dusty :P | 14:14 |
| mad_max02 | esp for older games | 14:15 |

| Bodsda | how do you remove an old broken grub loader? | 14:17 |
| rufus_ | good question | 14:17 |
| dgjones | rufus_, do you still get the F12 menu and option to boot from cd? if so and its not working, you might need to redownload/burn a new cd | 14:17 |

| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, that seems extremely small to me | 14:20 |
| rufus_ | gimme_snuggles, different cd | 14:20 |

| gimme_snuggles | rufus: aw ha, i would check the cd. its possible you didnt burn it as an image thus not making it bootable, or perhaps the download was corrupted | 14:20 |

| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: Shrug. New install. The only additions were because I wanted stuff like MPlayer that didnt seem to be in the default. Post your? | 14:21 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: try it on a different computer would be my suggestion, like dgjones said | 14:21 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56062/ | 14:22 |
| rufus_ | how can I un-install a broken grub loader | 14:22 |
| gimme_snuggles | !grub | 14:22 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:22 |
| Bodsda | rufus_, have you got a windows machine available? | 14:22 |
| rufus_ | Bodsda, im on it | 14:23 |
| Bodsda | rufus_, put the problematic hardrive in that machine and fully format it | 14:23 |
| gimme_snuggles | Bodsda: are you in here often? i just started comming in about a day ago | 14:23 |
| rufus_ | Bodsa, that is a desktop, this is a laptop. | 14:23 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: THanks. TRtying it now | 14:23 |

| rufus_ | Bodsda, maybe I can boot into gentoo livecd and reinstall it | 14:24 |
| Bodsda | !find supergrub | 14:24 |
| ubotu | Package/file supergrub does not exist in gutsy | 14:24 |
| pocketdrummer | Can someone break these instructions down in tard terms? "To manually build the current version you need a "deb-src ..." entry in your apt sources.list.

| Bodsda | rufus_, shouldnt need to,.,.you can try though | 14:24 |

| walko | Hey, gmplayer keeps on hanging with pulseaudio 0.9.6, does anyone know a solution ? | 14:25 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: Do I need to worry about these messages from apt-get update: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56064/ | 14:25 |
| Bodsda | rufus_, im out of my depth here,.,. you can use recovery (cli shell) but you need a working grub -- tmk | 14:26 |
| rufus_ | gah | 14:26 |
| Pici | a_l_a_n: No, you dont need to worry, but I suggest you remove those repos from your sources.list. | 14:26 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: one second | 14:26 |
| rufus_ | it WOULD work, but I deleted the config file | 14:26 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, the ones about cd's = no ,.,. the ones bout keys = possibly ,.,.were seeing those keys alot in here recently,.,.not sure how to fix im afraid | 14:27 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: i think all you need to do is pop in a live cd, and craft a grub command telling to install to the mbr using a config file u edit | 14:27 |
| Bodsda | Pici, what do the problematic repo's contain? | 14:27 |
| Pici | a_l_a_n: The key errors are for 3rd party repos that you dont need. | 14:27 |
| Bodsda | ah 2 birds | 14:27 |
| Pici | Bodsda: Wine, and something else I don't recognise. | 14:27 |
| rufus_ | gimme_snuggles, a livecd for what? | 14:27 |
| rufus_ | this computer has problems with GUI livecd's | 14:28 |
| dgjones | Bodsda, its Screenlets | 14:28 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: K. Thanks. Doubtless I shall be back with more errors shortly. | 14:28 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: are u trying to fix your grub boot loader right? | 14:28 |
| rufus_ | yesh | 14:28 |
| Bodsda | dgjones, ah,.ok,.cheers | 14:28 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: what live cd do u have | 14:28 |
| rufus_ | text-based | 14:28 |
| rufus_ | and text-based kubuntu, too | 14:28 |
| Bodsda | rufus_, for what distro? | 14:29 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: thats fine u dont need a GUI to repair the grub loader | 14:29 |
| rufus_ | Ubuntu | 14:29 |
| dgjones | Bodsda, I was looking at them last night, seems to be in the repo's for Hardy when its released, but 3rd party repo for Gutsy etc | 14:29 |
| Bodsda | rufus_, gutsy? | 14:29 |
| rufus_ | yeps | 14:29 |
| kostkon | Pici, please add the wine for the wine repo from here: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb and keep it in your sources.list. it's useful | 14:29 |
| redmonkey | i'm looking forward to hardy | 14:29 |
| kostkon | Pici, the key not the wine, sorry | 14:29 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: as long as the OS has grub installed, which gutsy i do believe does | 14:29 |
| === sourcode_ is now known as sourcode | ||
| Bodsda | rufus_, when someone asks what distro they want this sort of answer ,.,. ubuntu 7.10 or ubuntu gutsy ,.,.just to let you no | 14:29 |
| Pici | kostkon: I have no need for it. | 14:30 |
| rufus_ | okay | 14:30 |
| Bodsda | dgjones, so do they work ok for hardy? | 14:30 |
| rufus_ | i think the CD might be corrupted, and I might need to configure my BIOS to boot cd first | 14:30 |
| gimme_snuggles | rufus: so, what is your hard drive, partitioning, and operating system setup | 14:30 |
| kostkon | Pici, ok, then remove it. but you could add the key and get rid of the warning message you get about it | 14:30 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: And here we are >:( http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56065/ | 14:30 |

| TheLittlePrince | refus_: Have you changed the resolution before starting X server on GUI livecd? | 14:30 |
| dgjones | Bodsda, I don't know, I've not tried, i was looking for something like that for my gutsy machine last night, thats all I know at the minute | 14:30 |
| Pici | kostkon: a_l_a_n was the one with the error, not me ;) | 14:31 |

| uzbek | hi everybody! where can i get repository list for gutsy? | 14:32 |
| rufus_ | anyway, will ubuntu livecd creat a swap partition for me? | 14:32 |
| ThreeFingerPete | rufus_: A double click simply has no effect. no disk access even | 14:32 |
| Pici | rufus_: yes. | 14:32 |
| Bodsda | uzbek, your repo's or default ones? | 14:32 |

| gimme_snuggles | rufus: but what is your goal. you are going to try and boot from cd and install linux onto a computer is that all? | 14:34 |
| rufus_ | ThreeFingerPete, right click the game -> run/open | 14:34 |
| uzbek | Pici, i don't have graphics yet, just console, i need the repos to install gnome :) | 14:34 |
| rufus_ | or highlight it, and hit enter | 14:34 |
| Pici | uzbek: This should work then: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56063/ | 14:35 |

| pocketdrummer | I followed the instructions here: http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/ to Build my own package. I got done with the steps, but now I don't know what to do to install it! Please help. | 14:36 |
| Bodsda | Pici, is the default sources.list available on the livecd for me to copy off? | 14:36 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: If I try install python-central it seems to suggest OpenOffice is involved in the problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56067/ | 14:36 |
| clusty | hey | 14:36 |
| Pici | Bodsda: I don't know. | 14:36 |

| uzbek | Pici, thank you very much! | 14:36 |
| clusty | how can I mount a smb thing such that only root can read/write the contents? | 14:36 |

| tim168 | i want to search a term inside a bunch of files and then see in which files the term is found, how can i do that ? thanks | 14:36 |
| rufus_ | ThreeFingerPete, did you try to highlight it and hit enter/return key? | 14:36 |
| Bodsda | Pici, ok,.,.;~) | 14:36 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:37 |
| gimme_snuggles | clusty: you can define it in the fstab or with the mount command | 14:37 |
| clusty | gimme_snuggles, //192.168.178.100/backup /var/backup cifs username=xxx,password=xxxx,umask=0077,uid=root 0 0 | 14:37 |
| rufus_ | ThreeFingerPete, is this running through WINE? | 14:37 |
| tim168 | i can do ls * | grep searchterm, and it finds the term several times, but i don't know in which files it is found, how can i see that ? | 14:37 |
| Bodsda | tim168, ./file.text | grep hello will find the word hello in a file called file.text in the directory your in | 14:37 |
| clusty | gimme_snuggles, thats my fstab line | 14:37 |
| ThreeFingerPete | rufus: no, its native and a highlight/return has the same lack of effect | 14:38 |
| pizaninja | hi,maybe someonde could help me... | 14:38 |
| tim168 | Bodsda, can i get grep to show in which file it found a match ? | 14:38 |

| pizaninja | so, i'm looking a smtp server without authentification, better than yahoo one | 14:40 |
| tim168 | Bodsda hehe, it's option -H to print filename for each match :) | 14:40 |
| clusty | gimme_snuggles, whats the unmask for u+rwx o-rwx ? | 14:40 |
| ThreeFingerPete | rufus: with terminal i get a floating point exception | 14:40 |

| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: Practically all of them it would appear: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56068/. Google told me I had to do dist-upgrade to fix this. | 14:41 |

| 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.

| clusty | so rwx=7 | 14:51 |
| clusty | r=1 | 14:51 |
| a_l_a_n | Okay. REverting to the original sources.list resolves all problems. Comparing it to the sources.list suggested here the most striking difference appears to be that the original uses dapper rather than gutsy. How to proceed? | 14:51 |
| prince_jammys | clutsy right, with umask it's the binary inverse | 14:51 |
| clusty | prince_jammys, but still wont work | 14:51 |
| pocketdrummer | How do I remove a directory that has contents still in it? | 14:51 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, what distro are you using? | 14:51 |
| gimme_snuggles | prince_jammys: oo i see thats easy enough then | 14:51 |
| prince_jammys | clutsy with umask you write what you CANT do | 14:51 |
| clusty | pocketdrummer, rm -rf | 14:51 |

| Bodsda | Kuroachia, #winehq | 14:53 |
| clusty | is what comes if i set umask=007 | 14:53 |
| Kuroachia | Bodsda: Thankyou | 14:53 |

| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, not sure,.,.wasnt about for the dapper or fiesty releases | 14:53 |
| Bodsda | Kuroachia, no probs | 14:54 |
| prince_jammys | gimme_snuggles: clusty oh i have no idea how to do that --- i came in when i saw the umask thing | 14:54 |

| golemz | Hi - After restarting, grub can't find my boot partition/kernel. What livecd should I use to enable me to select which partition to boot off? | 14:59 |

| theDtTvB2 | Hello, I am using Ubuntu on my laptop and I have enabled two finger scrolling. When I use it it is too fast. What should I do? | 15:00 |
| pingu | what plugin do i need to play a video from my digital camera | 15:00 |
| golemz | been running great for 2 weeks, then got a degraded raid5 (not the boot partition) so i rebooted to rebuild, and now error 15 at grub :\ | 15:00 |
| pingu | the message is this "Totem could not play 'file:///media/disk/DCIM/101MSDCF/MOV00131.MPG'." | 15:00 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: But thats not a solution is it? Will I not be using version d of software that is now on version g? | 15:00 |
| cinex | golemz: i know that you can replace the grub install with a debian install cd. there must be a way to do it from the ubuntu disk. have you googled? | 15:00 |
| prince_jammys | pingu: are you able to play other .mpg files? | 15:01 |
| pingu | prince_jammys: i dont know first time i have tried | 15:01 |
| clusty | pingu, you need gstreamer plugins if i am nmopt mistaking | 15:01 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, your problem is strange,. im not sure what to suggest,.,.s it a clean install? | 15:01 |
| clusty | pingu, install all of them since I don't know exactly | 15:02 |
| golemz | i'm currently googling, i'll continue to do so | 15:02 |
| pingu | clusty: thanks ill try that | 15:02 |
| prince_jammys | pingu: go ahead and install ubuntu-restricted-extras too if you want, for other file formats (maybe including some mpg) | 15:02 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: Brand spanking new. I am uninstalling OpenOffice using the original sources in the hope that it is related to the dep cycle when using the gutsy sources. | 15:03 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, when you do a fresh install,. did you immediately do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade ?? | 15:03 |
| luisen | somebody helpme???? | 15:04 |
| Pici | !ask | luisen | 15:04 |
| ubotu | luisen: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 15:04 |
| a_l_a_n | Bodsda: NO, probably not immediately, but not too long afterwards. | 15:04 |
| Bodsda | !helpme > luisen please read pm from ubotu | 15:04 |
| Bodsda | a_l_a_n, then i would think its a bad cd burn or bad install ,.,. not sire what else to suggest im afraid | 15:05 |
| luisen | i need change my ip | 15:05 |
| Bodsda | luisen, so change it | 15:05 |

| clusty | jeffMASTERflex, read that. did not help | 15:09 |
| prince_jammys | clusty: typically this would look like (in fstab):: /dev/blah /mount/point type(ext3,so on ) uid=0,gid=0,umask=700 0 0 <---only access to root | 15:09 |

| prince_jammys | clusty: umask 077 sorry | 15:10 |
| jeffMASTERflex | clusty: the documentation is on that page. i don't see what you are missing | 15:10 |
| roddersg | Bodsda, oops, guess didn't install that gnome applet | 15:10 |
| pawan | or reintstall grub | 15:10 |
| Faust-C | jeffMASTERflex, thx | 15:10 |
| Bodsda | NiLoni, correct | 15:10 |
| Pici | NiLoni: no, it won't install kde-4. Join #kubuntu-kde4 for instructions on how to install it properly. | 15:10 |
| Bodsda | roddersg, its not an applet (tmk) | 15:10 |
| prince_jammys | clusty: typically this would look like (in fstab):: /dev/blah /mount/point type(ext3,so on ) uid=0,gid=0,umask=007 0 0 <---only access to root, will work in ntfs, vfat, ext3 but don't know about yours | 15:11 |

| roddersg | searching aptitude now | 15:12 |
| jeffMASTERflex | clusty: if your fstab entry is missing the 'user' option, you should only be able to mount it as root. | 15:12 |
| prince_jammys | clusty: seems to be ignoring your umask instructions, 077 should be rwx------ | 15:13 |
| clusty | jeffMASTERflex, only root can mount. but all can read | 15:13 |
| Odd-rationale | What is a "lost+found" folder and what does it do? Thanks! | 15:13 |

| joshness | anyone know how to wipe out ubuntu using windows? | 15:14 |
| ubuntunut | I'd really like to give back to the community, but all I have is basic (very very basic) java understanding. I kinda doubt I'm knowledgable enough to do package management. Where should I fit in? | 15:14 |
| Bodsda | joshness, probably not the best place to ask | 15:15 |
| joshness | im going to reinstall | 15:15 |
| joshness | clean install... thats why.. | 15:15 |
| pawan | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56075/ | 15:15 |
| Bodsda | ubuntunut, how-to's? | 15:15 |
| ubuntunut | joshness: If you're installing, you can wilpe the disk with a ubuntu disk. | 15:15 |
| joshness | how? | 15:15 |
| gimme_snuggles | prince_jammys: i believe its SMB | 15:15 |
| Bodsda | joshness, ask in ##windows | 15:15 |
| joshness | ok | 15:15 |
| gimme_snuggles | oops | 15:15 |
| ubuntunut | joshness: hold up | 15:15 |
| clusty | its some weird FS, thats the problem. smbfs gives read to all but write just to root | 15:15 |
| gimme_snuggles | sorry i was looking at old posts | 15:15 |
| joshness | k :) | 15:16 |
| ubuntunut | joshness: Boot into a live session with a cd. | 15:16 |
| prince_jammys | gimme_snuggles: np | 15:16 |
| clusty | same options with cifs gives write to all | 15:16 |
| ubuntunut | joshness: Use "gparted" | 15:16 |
| pingu | prince_jammys: thanks but i had what i needed installed i just didn't have as the primary opening software | 15:16 |
| ubuntunut | joshness: You can wipe an entire disk like that. | 15:16 |
| ubuntunut | joshness: OR, during install procedure, you can chjose to use the entire disk | 15:16 |
| kanuha | need help sharing a folder under ubuntu and accessing it under vista | 15:16 |
| pawan | my grub | 15:16 |
| Bodsda | ubuntunut, not needed,.just use install --> and use entire disk | 15:16 |
| joshness | oh ok | 15:16 |
| prince_jammys | clusty: try google for an example, will probably have better luck than here "smbfs fstab" | 15:16 |
| joshness | ill try that | 15:16 |

| bazhang | language pbne04 | 15:17 |
| ubuntunut | Bodsda: Heh. Now question: What do you mean by how-tos? | 15:17 |
| ubuntunut | Bodsda: It's kinda hard to pick a how to that hasn't been written yet. A BUTT ton of things have already been documented on ubuntu-forums | 15:17 |
| Bodsda | ubuntunut, write specific step-by-step documentation on how to do something | 15:17 |

| gimme_snuggles | /dev/sde1 /media/flash vfat uid=0,gid=0,umask=007 0 0 -------------> does give the correct permissions he was looking for | 15:20 |

| pawan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ mkdir /mnt/root | 15:20 |

| Bodsda | niptuck, you can use windows version of divx through wine | 15:20 |
| prince_jammys | gimme_snuggles: yep, must have to do with fs --- some filesystem types have special options, and reject options such as umask | 15:21 |

| JinRoh | where is boot.ini gimme_snuggles ? | 15:32 |
| Fudzi | hi everyone | 15:32 |
| pawan | hello | 15:32 |
| ahorriblemess | BugeyeD: have you had a lot of problems with your sound card? Specifically headphone switch? | 15:32 |
| Bodsda | bazhang, i doubt thats the command he was after ;~) | 15:32 |
| prince_jammys | JinRoh: boot.ini is typically located at the root C:\\ in a windows box | 15:32 |
| ubuntunut | Bodsda: Why doesn't ubuntu emulate 5.1 sound like windows does? | 15:32 |
| BugeyeD | ahorriblemess: nope, been working fine | 15:32 |
| nemilar | Bodsda: Problem: sometimes my left speaker falls out and I have to play with the volume knob to get it back. Question: can you send me new speakers? | 15:32 |
| JinRoh | i don't have any boot.ini | 15:32 |
| JinRoh | it's vista btw | 15:32 |
| ahorriblemess | BugeyeD: I've tried a couple of different methods to fix that problem, but it always seems to cut the sound card off completely. | 15:32 |
| furythor | so I can't do that from wine configuration ? | 15:33 |
| prince_jammys | JinRoh: are you in windows now? | 15:33 |
| JinRoh | no | 15:33 |
| Bodsda | nemilar, answer: send me £250 plus £50 p&p then yes | 15:33 |
| gimme_snuggles | use it | 15:33 |
| Odd-rationale | Bodsda: I have a sound problem ;) but it is kde related... | 15:33 |
| nemilar | Bodsda: haha, what is that in _real_ money ? | 15:33 |
| Bodsda | ubuntunut, because it doesnt want to be assosciated with windows | 15:33 |
| Bodsda | Odd-rationale, no probs,.ask away | 15:33 |
| JinRoh | well I'll try... something. | 15:33 |
| JinRoh | thanks | 15:33 |
| prince_jammys | JinRoh: don't know vista, but i just looked and it's in my C:\\ | 15:33 |
| Shinji- | BugeyeD: add you options to "# defoptions=......" in menu.lst | 15:33 |
| Bodsda | nemilar, yes of course! | 15:33 |
| prince_jammys | jimRoh in winxp. | 15:33 |
| * Bodsda feels incorporated now -- thankyou | 15:34 | |
| Fudzi | how to tell a directory .tar.gz who is in /home to put in /usr/src with unzipping the fike | 15:34 |
| prince_jammys | jimRoh try find /path/to/windows/partition -name 'boot.ini' | 15:34 |
| nemilar | OT: it's funny that in England you say p&p (processing and postage?) while in the US we say s&h (shipping and handling) | 15:34 |
| cinex | Fudzi: -C | 15:34 |
| Shinji- | add = remove | 15:34 |
| cinex | sudo tar -zxf mmm.tar.gz -C /usr/src | 15:34 |
| Fudzi | how ? | 15:34 |
| Bodsda | nemilar, actually p&p = post and packaging | 15:34 |
| nemilar | ahh. | 15:34 |
| Odd-rationale | Bodsda: Cna I PM you? | 15:35 |
| cinex | postage & packing | 15:35 |
| ubuntunut | Bodsda: when I attempt to play something in 5.1 sound (Like off a dvd), I get choppy sound and a "broken pipe" error in the console. Any idea what that's about? | 15:35 |
| Bodsda | Odd-rationale, yer, but hang on, have to change nick | 15:35 |
| capt-rogers | Why do some employers value Linux skills and others do not? | 15:35 |
| Bodsda | changing from Bodsda to bod_ | 15:35 |
| gimme_snuggles | JinRoh:i just remembered, u can also access the boot.ini config with the MSCONFIG utility | 15:35 |
| cinex | capt-rogers: some employers use linux | 15:35 |
| === Bodsda is now known as bod_ | ||
| nemilar | capt-rogers: well, if they're not running Linux, it's not much value... | 15:35 |
| jeffMASTERflex | capt-rogers: some employers use linux servers, while others do not | 15:35 |
| BugeyeD | Shinji-: hmmm ... does the existance of that cause newly created stanzas to show those same options? seems like that'd be used for default options when the options were not stated specifically. | 15:35 |
| Fudzi | cinex: exclent real geek | 15:36 |
| cinex | Fudzi: konqueror man:tar | 15:36 |
| bod_ | ubuntunut, probably bad drivers -- alsa? | 15:36 |
| pawan | how to determine hda no | 15:36 |
| ubuntunut | capt-rogers: Some employers run on a unix based network, others run on a w indows based network | 15:36 |
| pawan | trying to remount | 15:36 |
| Fudzi | ok | 15:36 |
| Fudzi | merci | 15:36 |
| ubuntunut | bod_: alsa, yes. And they're the default ones installed during the OS install | 15:37 |
| Fudzi | thx | 15:37 |
| Fudzi | bye | 15:37 |
| Shinji- | BugeyeD, if you get a new kernel, grub will use those options for it | 15:37 |
| cdavis | What can I use to make a simple menu of possible remote desktop commands in X? | 15:37 |
| gimme_snuggles | cdavis: are u using kde or gnome? | 15:37 |
| bod_ | ubuntunut, installed all gstreamer plugins/codecs? | 15:37 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, gnome | 15:37 |
| djr | I recompiled my kernel using (make-kpkg) the generic .config. Now, while dpkg -i the kernel-image, I get "find: /lib/firmware/2.6.22.9nofreqscaling: No such file or directory". Why is that? And how do I build those modules "the ubuntu way"? | 15:37 |
| BugeyeD | Shinji-: all this time i've been looking for something stored elsewhere (like in /etc) that the grub updater was referencing. argh. thanks a bunch! | 15:37 |
| capt-rogers | Even companies that use Linux, some pay really well, and some are always 'better-dealing'.. | 15:37 |
| gimme_snuggles | cdavis: you can write a simple shell script to do that for you | 15:37 |
| pawan | hello | 15:38 |
| djr | would a make modules && make install in the /usr/src/linux do the trick? | 15:38 |

| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, I don't know what to even read about to find out how to make it interact with X | 15:39 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Presario: come here if you have any issues? | 15:39 |
| ubuntunut | bod_: From the cli, though? Sans synaptic? | 15:40 |
| bod_ | ubuntunut, are you not using a gui? | 15:40 |
| pawan | hello | 15:40 |
| ubuntunut | bod_: Not when I can. | 15:40 |
| bod_ | ugys you can disable system beeps with some sort of modprobe command -- what is it? how do i reanable it? | 15:40 |
| capt-rogers | 'The linux terminal or command line interface is very powerful' <<---lol...thats the definition right there of superfluous | 15:40 |
| orochi_ | Does anyone know of a way that I could re-configure ALSA so that all sound output is at 48000hz? It seems to get rid of the choppy audio in some apps | 15:40 |
| orochi_ | But not all of them have that option :> | 15:41 |
| bod_ | ubuntunut, lol,.,.well just heck for the packages i mentioned | 15:41 |
| mjw- | bod_ rmmod pcspkr to disable it | 15:41 |
| prince_jammys | ubuntunut: you can view with "sudo aptitude" on it's own --- but DONT install anything from there if you normally use apt-get | 15:41 |
| ubuntunut | bod_: sudo rmmod pcspkr | 15:41 |
| bod_ | ubuntunut, also follow orochi's question | 15:41 |

| ubuntunut | prince_jammys: I'm an aptitude kinda guy. | 15:42 |
| bod_ | ubuntunut, ive done it,. helpin a kde guy,.,. mjw- cheers | 15:42 |
| prince_jammys | ubuntunut: once you are in aptitude, press / to search for the package name and "n" to see the next match if there's more than one | 15:42 |
| gimme_snuggles | cdavis: still there? | 15:42 |
| ubuntunut | prince_jammys: Good to know. | 15:42 |
| jeffMASTERflex | Presario: there aren't really many tips. The install uses a Live CD which allows you to test before you install. If you have any problems after install, people in this channel can help you out | 15:43 |
| prince_jammys | ubuntunut: it's what i use | 15:43 |

| bazhang | emosamurai: server issue likely try again later | 15:44 |
| Neronious | Presario: the ubuntu forums might be a good place to check for that sort of question | 15:44 |
| emosamurai | bazhang: it's been like that for the whole week. | 15:44 |
| emosamurai | oh, well. | 15:44 |
| Jordan | how do i restart gdm after i configure Xserver? | 15:44 |

Thus, not allowing me to even see a single thing of ubuntu on my presario. I recently installed ubuntu on my NEC laptop... so, you could say that I have experienced the installation before | 15:45 |
| bazhang | emosamurai: some undersea cables were cut and most of asia and the middle east were affected, thus my question about which mirror | 15:45 |
| emosamurai | bazhang: I see. no clue. I'm just clicking the star. | 15:45 |
| Jordan | alright. i'll try it | 15:45 |
| bazhang | Presario: try the alternate cd then | 15:45 |
| Presario | alternate CD meaning the DVD version? | 15:46 |
| bod_ | no | 15:46 |
| bod_ | the text based | 15:46 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, I want to have a list of commands, ie 'rdesktop 192.168.1.10 -g 1024x768 -u cdavis' I want that list to be opened by a shortcut keystroke so I can either scroll up and down or enter a number to openn an rdesktop session | 15:46 |
| Presario | then | 15:46 |

| bod_ | Daenyth|Work, you have to install it | 15:47 |
| Daenyth|Work | or should I just make the windows partition FAT32 | 15:48 |

| Daenyth|Work | apt-get install ntfs-3g? | 15:48 |

| burkmat | jager, I probably can't help you but abit of info on what you're trying to do when you get that error might be useful... What's "it"? | 16:02 |
| mad_max02 | user11_011, dude just read and try to find it in synaptics | 16:02 |
| prince_jammys | !repeat | jager | 16:02 |
| ubotu | jager: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 16:02 |
| ubuntuisloved | mad_max02: should i just compile it or how do you recommend to update? | 16:02 |
| user11_011 | mad_max02: i am on dapper server version!!! | 16:02 |
| prince_jammys | jager: "it says" <-- what is "it" ? what are you doing? | 16:02 |
| WorldBFree | can somebody point me to the link where to boot ubuntu iso from the hd? | 16:02 |
| jager | the question says: What file system object has an inode # of 214780, identify the absoulte reference to this file system object, and the complete single command used to identify it. | 16:03 |
| Pici | jager: stop repeating. | 16:03 |
| jager | then answer me | 16:03 |
| luckybamboo | jeffMASTERflex, i thought useradd also works? | 16:03 |
| jager | bitouch | 16:03 |
| bazhang | bye jager | 16:04 |
| ubuntuisloved | mad_max02: should i just compile it or how do you recommend to update? | 16:04 |
| bod_ | haha | 16:04 |
| mad_max02 | ubuntuisloved, how did you install it ? | 16:04 |
| mad_max02 | repos or manual or svn ? | 16:04 |
| ubuntuisloved | mad_max02: repos sudo apt-get install | 16:04 |
| mad_max02 | you gotta do it manually or wait for updated repos package | 16:05 |
| eck090 | is there a way i can change my soundcard from ALSA to OSS? | 16:05 |
| mad_max02 | just to make sure backup ur .wine | 16:05 |
| ubuntuisloved | K thanks | 16:05 |
| LukeLM | !OSS | 16:06 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about oss - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 16:06 |
| mad_max02 | eck090, system-> Preferences-> Multimedia Systems Selector | 16:06 |
| bazhang | WorldBFree: you mean from a windows install? | 16:06 |
| gimme_snuggles | cdavis: are you still there? | 16:07 |
| WorldBFree | bazhang, no i mean put the image on my hd, turn on my pc and have it boot from there | 16:07 |
| eck090 | there is no multimedia systems selector | 16:07 |
| WorldBFree | bazhang, i already have a working grub | 16:07 |
| bazhang | WorldBFree: from what system though | 16:07 |
| WorldBFree | it wouldnt matter what system, its just a matter of making the right entries into menu.lst in grub | 16:08 |
| luckybamboo | jeffMASTERflex, and btw. using the system-->users&groups for creating a user returns the same error-message when the user tries to account | 16:08 |
| WorldBFree | ive done it many times before with other distros, but each one has specific instructions | 16:08 |
| bazhang | WorldBFree: never heard of that--where did you read of this? | 16:08 |
| bazhang | WorldBFree: only one I know that does this is Arch Linux | 16:08 |
| mad_max02 | eck090, edit menus. I'll find it | 16:09 |
| mad_max02 | you'll find it | 16:09 |
| bazhang | WorldBFree: unless you mean a pendrive/usb key | 16:09 |
| eck090 | <---- noob how do i edit menu | 16:09 |
| natbet | would it be a bad idea to install kubuntu and ubuntu and share the /home partition? | 16:09 |
| WorldBFree | bazhang, its not something ive read, its something ive done, but ive done with kanotix, sidux, debian, puppy | 16:09 |
| eck090 | nevermind :P | 16:10 |
| natbet | I know between different types of distros it can be a problem | 16:10 |
| WorldBFree | but that doesnt matter what distro because its straight from the grub | 16:10 |
| prince_jammys | natbet: no, it's ok | 16:10 |
| WorldBFree | all you have to do is have the image on your hd somewhere, and tell grub the right instructions | 16:10 |
| prince_jammys | natbet: i do it | 16:10 |
| gimme_snuggles | haha i took the time to write cdavis a little bash script with a menu and everything and now hes not even here! | 16:10 |
| Veeger1 | Fresh install last night worked fine, but after update, no video. restricted drives enabled for nvidia 6600, nothing from outside repos and no scripts used to install anything. Where do I start | 16:10 |
| bazhang | WorldBFree: then do what you did with those--not possible with ubuntu as far as I am aware--please do a write up on ubuntuforums as well | 16:10 |
| natbet | prince_jammys: there aren't any problems with configuration files or anything like that? | 16:10 |
| eck090 | it says my device is unsupported under OSS | 16:11 |
| prince_jammys | natbet: no | 16:11 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, Thanks much, I will play with this and let you know | 16:11 |
| eck090 | and under ALSA it doesnt show my headset | 16:11 |
| eck090 | (usb) | 16:11 |
| natbet | ok, thanks prince_jammys | 16:11 |
| gimme_snuggles | cdavis: np man | 16:11 |
| prince_jammys | natbet: each program uses its own and they don't clash ... when you first install your menus will have apps from both, but you can edit the menus and have separate ones in KDE and gnome ... there are no other issues | 16:12 |
| FD_F | can i detect my 8800GT card on vmware ? (the ubuntu is the guest) | 16:12 |

| eck090 | anybody else have any ideas? | 16:14 |
| adamb | So I have a 32bit machine laying around and need to run a few virtual private servers on it, should I go with xen? | 16:14 |
| bazhang | kadakas: have you tried yet? is this the dvi or other | 16:15 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, termservice: 20: Syntax error: "}" unexpected | 16:15 |
| natbet | kadakas: plug the monitor into the video port on the laptop :P Then press fn+f8 or whatever key combo it is to switch to the external monitor | 16:15 |
| luckybamboo | jeffMASTERflex, no idea? | 16:15 |
| prince_jammys | cdavis: what command did you type? | 16:16 |
| kadakas | bazhang: its the old connection | 16:16 |
| natbet | kadakas: if you want both monitors working at the same time for one huge desktop you will more than likely have to mess with the xorg.conf | 16:16 |
| kadakas | id just like to watch a movie on my big screen monitor | 16:16 |
| cdavis | prince_jammys, sh termservice | 16:16 |
| kadakas | i pressed the fn+F8 combo | 16:16 |
| furythor | What rights wine needs to folders where windows software is installed ? | 16:16 |
| jeffMASTERflex | luckybamboo: sorry I was busy in another channel. sorry, I have no clue what the issue could be. I don't have that problem locally | 16:16 |
| bazhang | kadakas: I did this successfully; have you tried yet? | 16:17 |
| natbet | kadakas: what kind of video out does your laptop have? | 16:17 |
| kadakas | the picture now appears in my monitor, but i cannot turn it back into laptop mode - but the laptop screen is flashing green and red | 16:17 |
| kadakas | the picture on the monitor works, just the wrong resolution | 16:17 |
| bazhang | kadakas: check the cable | 16:17 |
| furythor | Kadakas, then your laptop screen settings are jinxed... | 16:17 |
| eck090 | let me tell yo guys..... switching from windows to linux is a huge step | 16:18 |
| 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? | 16:18 |
| bazhang | eck090: haha not really | 16:18 |
| natbet | kadakas: go to the menu > system > preferences > screen resolution | 16:18 |
| furythor | eck090 I agree with you | 16:18 |
| natbet | kadakas: see if you can change the resolution there | 16:18 |
| furythor | What rights wine needs to folders where windows software is installed ? | 16:18 |
| bazhang | eck090: mac to linux is a bigger one ;] | 16:18 |
| furythor | read, write and excecute ? | 16:19 |
| s0u][ight | http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 can someone tell me wich section is for me in the firmware section? | 16:19 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, I get syntax error from direct download | 16:19 |
| kanuha | need help sharing a folder under ubuntu and accessing it under vista | 16:19 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: drwxr-xr-x 8 tantalus tantalus 4096 2008-02-06 04:47 Program Files | 16:20 |
| furythor | all rights, then ? | 16:20 |
| natbet | kanuha: go to the menu > system > Administration > shared folders | 16:20 |
| amenado | kadaka you will find that the resolution on your big screen is rather much different than your laptop video rez. -- you can only get as close to the native tv monitor unless the tvmonitor is capable of decoding your video card rez....just my experience | 16:20 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, looks like I can't sh command, I have to chmod +x and run ./command | 16:20 |
| eck090 | really? mac to linux is worse? | 16:20 |
| s0u][ight | what is the current kernet version of ubuntu 7.10? | 16:20 |
| eck090 | dont they both run off the unix core? | 16:20 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: no, only read write execute for owner, read execute for others | 16:21 |
| natbet | kanuha: it will ask you if you want to install smb or nfs, install smb only and then you can add the folder you want to share. You should be able to access it on your vista box now. | 16:21 |
| kanuha | natbet, ok I am there | 16:21 |
| luckybamboo | i added a user-account, but when i try to access by this user i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56077/ | 16:21 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: are you getting a permissions error? | 16:21 |
| jeffMASTERflex | eck090: mac users would be mortified to have to touch a terminal... | 16:21 |
| eck090 | lol | 16:21 |
| mjw- | s0u][ight 2.6.22-14 | 16:21 |
| eck090 | does anyone use ventrilo? | 16:21 |
| kanuha | natbet, I had already added smb and NFS, do I need to remove nfs? | 16:21 |
| natbet | eck090: I do, but it isn't ported to linux yet | 16:21 |
| eck090 | i cant figure out how to get my damn USB headset to read as oss | 16:22 |
| furythor | no, I am thinking if I could bypass my problem (I got over huge home folder with wine there (like over 20gt) | 16:22 |
| eck090 | im using the windows version emu thru wine | 16:22 |
| s0u][ight | 16:22 | |
| s0u][ight | Bleeding edge, i.e. compat-wireless-2.6 package, linus-2.6 or wireless-2.6 trees | 16:22 |
| natbet | kanuha: no, it's just extra package, no problem | 16:22 |
| s0u][ight | so it is something like that? | 16:22 |
| meoblast001 | hello..... im setting a computer up with a D-Link Rangebooster WUA-2340... i set it up with ndiswrapper yesterday and it worked.... now today, it doesnt work... ndiswrapper claims the driver is installed and the device is present, how do i fix this? | 16:22 |
| furythor | so I thought that maybe I could get wine to work from /usr/local/wine/x_drive etc... | 16:22 |
| furythor | so I install all software to /usr/local/wine | 16:22 |
| eck090 | anyone have an idea? | 16:22 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: ifconfig | 16:23 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: yeah you should be able to do that | 16:23 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: iwconfig | 16:23 |
| natbet | kanuha: in here you should be able to add the folder you want to share, then it should be viewable from the vista box, You might have to restart to make it work. | 16:23 |
| mjw- | s0u][ight bleeding edge stuff will be in hardy heron | 16:23 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: thanx, is that all i have to do? | 16:23 |
| kanuha | natbet, ok, I can see the computer name on vista, but it asks for a username and passwork | 16:23 |
| furythor | but relevant question is that what rights I need to that wine folder ? | 16:23 |
| Tyczek | Does this command work for your fgrlx? sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv It doesn't work for me... Movie on XV still looks bad... | 16:23 |
| furythor | read,write and execute ? | 16:23 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: do you see ure wifi adapter in those command outputs? | 16:23 |
| luckybamboo | please give me a hint. | 16:24 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: i dont think | 16:24 |
| gimme_snuggles | one second | 16:24 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: no | 16:24 |
| natbet | kanuha: try using your username/pw for the linux box. | 16:24 |
| eck090 | natbet : do you know how i can get my usb headset to work with vent? it only picks up "default directsound devicer" | 16:24 |
| amenado | meoblast001-> does your pc gets an ip address? check with ifconfig, and if it has associated via iwconfig command | 16:24 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: drwxr-xr-x 6 tantalus tantalus 4096 2008-02-09 01:15 drive_c ( owner: read write execute, group: read execute, others: read execute) | 16:24 |
| furythor | ok. | 16:24 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: type ifconfig and iwconfig and paste the outputs http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ THERE | 16:24 |
| natbet | eck090: sorry, I have never tried using a USB headset in linux. Does audio work through the headset now? | 16:25 |
| kanuha | natbet, didn't work, says logon unsuccessful | 16:25 |
| eck090 | yes | 16:25 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: and send us the url afterwards and we can look at the output ok? | 16:25 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: it's the owner that's important -- don't mess with the permissions, change the owner if it becomes "root" | 16:25 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: im obviously trying to get this computer online,k going to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org won't really work | 16:25 |
| Kaso | Hi, Im trying to configure my linux box to use a different hostname for each network interface so as to not confuse the DHCP server, at the moment it refuses give me two IPs because the hostname matches | 16:25 |
| eck090 | natbet: its using alsa atm i think | 16:25 |
| jernster | kaso: associate each ip with a specific hostname in /etc/hosts | 16:26 |
| jernster | you can only set one hostname on the box itself | 16:26 |
| rinaldi_ | anyone play counter strike source in wine? it crashes on me when it connects to a server, when it tries to render anything... | 16:26 |
| prince_jammys | furythor: and if you want to give every user write access to the "c" drive, then yes read write execute for everyone | 16:26 |

| prince_jammys | furythor: back it up first | 16:26 |
| iter | wow prince_jammys do you ever sleep | 16:27 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: the loopback interface has an ip | 16:27 |

| furythor | wine configuration ? | 16:27 |
| prince_jammys | iter: :) | 16:27 |

| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: from the tutorial i read, i remember it making a new section | 16:27 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: yes it will | 16:27 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: same | 16:28 |
| kanuha | natbet, ty | 16:28 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: my sister will kill me or break her computer if she has to reconfigure this card everytime she uses the computer | 16:28 |
| cdavis | gimme_snuggles, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56091/ | 16:28 |
| amenado | meoblast001-> you have access to the internet now, I think you can sacrifice a lil bit copying things over..or is that way too hard for you to paste? | 16:28 |
| noelferreira | what remote conection server should i use? vino or vnc? | 16:28 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: ok if u only see the loopback device that means that u probably just dont have the module loaded | 16:28 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: how do you load the module, it worked yesterday | 16:29 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: i believe when u use ndiswrapper u have to have the load the ndiswrapper module into ure system for the adapter to become active | 16:29 |
| prince_jammys | cdavis: what's giving you that error? termservice? is termservice a script you wrote? | 16:30 |

| prince_jammys | !grub | pawan | 16:31 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: did u reboot or log out or anything? | 16:31 |
| ubotu | pawan: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 16:31 |
| meoblast001 | gimme_snuggles: oops.... i forgot to finish the tutorial so it wouldnt do this | 16:31 |
| iter | pawan you keep asking that same question for hours? | 16:31 |
| pawan | getting grub menu but when i select ubuntu says no such partition | 16:31 |
| iter | so you can boot to grub but can't start ubuntu ? | 16:32 |

| noelferreira | what remote conection server should i use? vino or vnc? i need to have the image adjusted to the client. anyone? | 16:32 |

| amenado | pawan what? you want to use grub on a win2003 server? | 16:33 |
| iter | noelferreira: preferences--> remote desktop, then I use ultravnc client to access the ubuntu desktop | 16:33 |
| natbet | kanuha: do sudo smbpasswd -a *your username* and set a password when asked. then use that info to access the shared folder. | 16:33 |
| dedi | stjepang: works fine :) | 16:33 |
| gimme_snuggles | meoblast001: u see, it most likely loaded the module temp, u have to add it to the module list so it will load automatically | 16:33 |

| Meglo | I'm having trouble booting the 7.10 i386 livecd, it boots - sorta - but my system immediatly does a hard restart after it displays "loading i386.linux" or something along those lines. So I get about 3 seconds to read what is happening before it restarts. Anyone know of a solution? My CPU isn't i686 compatible, but I don't think that would be a problem. | 16:59 |

| Creationist | iter: Right... I open that up and it just lists the printers.... no tabs. | 17:03 |

| bazhang | ceil420: your question got lost in the scroll which window do you refer? | 17:03 |
| ceil420 | if update-manager is telling me to "Remove obsolete packages", there's no harm in removing said packages, is there? i'm just kinda nervous because `armagetron-common' and `libaudacious4' are among the packages listed, and i use both those programs | 17:04 |
| N0S3 | i need compiz-fusion, some repository for ubuntu 6.06 ? | 17:04 |
| Meglo | bazhang, mjw-, I'm using the alternative debian installer so I can set up encrypted LVM, but It simply wont boot and does a hard reboot before I can get to the menu for the installer. | 17:04 |
| ceil420 | `libtorrent9' is also listed, and i do like my torrents :x | 17:04 |
| prince_jammys | JamesY and once mysql is set up you may get sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin (( if you want graphical access to a mysql database through a web browser )) | 17:04 |

| ceil420 | bazhang, cheers o/ | 17:04 |
| bazhang | ceil420: if they are not though you may need to reinstall those packages | 17:05 |

| iter | Creationist: actually, you did .. and I helped you, now please play nice | 17:26 |
| exegesis | My sound will just stop working every few weeks, and I think it may have to do with me downloading a torrent on Azureus | 17:26 |
| db92 | ok now i downloaded 7.10 and i "mount" on daemontools the image to make sure about what it is | 17:26 |
| exegesis | any ideas? | 17:26 |
| db92 | and i see "this is a live cd etc" | 17:26 |
| db92 | yet, i downloaded what it said was the installer >> | 17:26 |
| exegesis | This has happened a few times before and I've managed to fix it before but can never remember what I did | 17:26 |
| ox | anyone get their webcam working with Gutsy and Flash 9? | 17:26 |
| Tiven | exegesis: checked the sound control panel ? are they muted ? almost everything gets muted for me in alsa every few hours/days | 17:26 |

| sirius-black | hey, i need some help, i installed ubuntustudio yesterday, and all of the jack packages, but if i run ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt instead of generic, it gives me an nvidia error message comparable to this: fatal: install command nvidia (ee): fail load nvidia kernel mod (ee): ***aborting*** (ee): screens found, no usable configuration | 17:28 |
| Fudzi | i install ubuntu on my macbook | 17:28 |
| Tiven | exegesis: i dont know how to fix that im sorry :( - 2 of my friends are having the same problem as well | 17:28 |
| KemrinH | I know that it's in my root partition, but I don't know what to call it in grub.list | 17:28 |
| Fudzi | using bootcamp | 17:28 |
| Shinji- | db92, it's all gui :) | 17:28 |
| db92 | Shinji-: kk cos i am in the "5.10 age" where i remember livecd != installer | 17:29 |
| exegesis | Tiven: ok thanks, at least my sound is working, I guess... | 17:29 |
| db92 | and i remember where there was no gui :P | 17:29 |
| Shapeshifter | jpatrick: I said, for another distro, so I'm loogin for the sources, but the sources on debian / ubuntu info pages are all for vnc4 or tightvonc, and not for the resp x-viewer | 17:29 |
| db92 | kk then :=DD | 17:29 |
| prince_jammys | luckybamboo: or alter the permissions/ownership of the files in this new user's home? | 17:29 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, no i didn't if the gnome-user-creator did not. | 17:29 |
| Fudzi | the problem is by default it boot with ubuntu | 17:29 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, but these files/folder belong to the user (as user and as group) | 17:30 |
| Fudzi | have to change the boot order to boot with mac OS by default | 17:30 |
| sirius-black | hey, i need some help, i installed ubuntustudio yesterday, and all of the jack packages, but if i run ubuntu 7.10 kernel 2.6.22-14-rt instead of generic, it gives me an nvidia error message comparable to this: fatal: install command nvidia (ee): fail load nvidia kernel mod (ee): ***aborting*** (ee): screens found, no usable configuration | 17:30 |
| Fudzi | ???? | 17:30 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, the folder looks very nice. bashrc and stuff. all there | 17:30 |
| Shinji- | db92, you could use alternate => no gui :P | 17:30 |
| sean_ | is there a way to make an application use both cores of a dualcore CPU ??? | 17:30 |
| sean_ | is there a way to make an application use both cores of a dualcore CPU ??? | 17:30 |

| sean_ | sorry for the double post :s | 17:31 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, true | 17:31 |
| bazhang | Fudzi: ubuntu-tutorials has tons of stuff for that you may want to check them out | 17:31 |
| db92 | Shinji-: rooofl np i just didnt know there WAS a gui << | 17:31 |
| JamesY | no suggestions, eh? OK, guess I'll go back to grinding away... | 17:31 |

| scjp_ | ~pastebin | 17:32 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, there is no .ICEauthority in the hoesel-home-folder, but it's in the other user-home-dirs.. curious | 17:32 |
| Odd-rationale | Repley: Usually you can set that in the BIOS. | 17:32 |
| prince_jammys | luckybamboo: just fishing around here, but worth checking ..... if everything seems ok i recommend deleting the user, deleting his home, and adding him back | 17:32 |
| jimat | Could any body tell me what "inexistent package" means? | 17:32 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, but maybe the missing .ICEauthority could be a solution? | 17:33 |
| DJAdmiral | that the package does not exist | 17:33 |
| luckybamboo | what is it fo? | 17:33 |
| luckybamboo | for | 17:33 |

| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, i will remove the user and try to add him again. | 17:35 |
| CyanideD | i need help installing flash drivers | 17:35 |
| prince_jammys | luckybamboo: something might have gone wrong when you tried first bash --- unless there's valuable stuff in that home, you could remove it and the user, and try readding from gnome | 17:35 |
| Repley | Odd-rationale: is possible to disable from both: bios and ubuntu? and, how to? | 17:35 |
| Fudzi | is this official chanel ? | 17:35 |

| neverblue | Fudzi, in Virtual Machines? which is the host OS? | 17:38 |
| DJAdmiral | CyanideD: run this command in the terminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted | 17:38 |
| bazhang | Fudzi: using what boot loader | 17:38 |

| will6 | Hello everyone! Quick question. Is it possible to install grub over lilo with no boot issues (want to install 7.10 on a laptop that boots xp and another nix distro with lilo) possible to do just the standard install and not drop the ability to boot my xp part.? | 17:39 |
| neverblue | Fudzi, so I am guessing that MacOS is on there atm, and you want to add Ubuntu, or you already did? | 17:39 |
| luckybamboo | prince_jammys, true dat. | 17:40 |
| CyanideD | Djadmiral did you get that | 17:40 |
| DJAdmiral | CyanideD: my bad, it's actually: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:40 |
| prince_jammys | jeffMASTERflex: you maybe want to warn the man that that command will delete all his bookmarks | 17:40 |
| Fudzi | neverblue: atm ? | 17:40 |
| jeffMASTERflex | ahh yes... that WILL delete your bookmarks | 17:40 |
| Frijolie | hey all, what's a program that will utilize with a built-in webcam on a laptop? I'm anxious to try it out to see if it will work. | 17:41 |

| neverblue | Fudzi, atm == at the moment | 17:41 |
| DJAdmiral | CyanideD: And a bunch of other handy things as well, yes | 17:41 |
| slat | will6: i think the worst case scenario is that you will have to do an easy edit of the /boot/grub/menu1at file | 17:41 |
| DJAdmiral | kesi, I'll take a look at that | 17:41 |
| CyanideD | ok any chance you can help me with another thing | 17:41 |
| DJAdmiral | CyanideD: Ask away. | 17:42 |
| kesi | DJAdmiral, thanks | 17:42 |
| Fudzi | no neverblue i repeat i have already done | 17:42 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: thanks for your help yesterday with the partition stuff | 17:42 |
| db92 | i still need emulation libs with 7.10 or from some version onward ubuntu became backwards compatible when it comes to processors? :P (i downloaded 64 bit) | 17:42 |
| Fudzi | when i start my macbook | 17:42 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: np | 17:42 |
| CyanideD | ok i have a nivdia crad 6200 before i moved to linux i was able to put what was on my desktop on to my tv . how can i get that back? | 17:42 |
| prince_jammys | kesi: try killall firefox-bin and restart firefox | 17:43 |
| kesi | prince_jammys, k. | 17:43 |
| neverblue | Fudzi, and how does Ubuntu run on your Mac? | 17:43 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: so, assuming you remember me and my prob, now that i have a 138B /home folder. I should install all apps there? | 17:43 |
| Fudzi | i have to prush the "option" key to access to choose an operating system if i forgot to prush the "option " key by default it boot with ubuntu | 17:43 |
| DJAdmiral | CyanideD: By that you mean you had a TV-out port? Like your TV showed what was on your monitor, right? | 17:43 |
| CyanideD | yes, using the S-video port | 17:44 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: you are installing apps through apt / synaptic? | 17:44 |
| Fudzi | and i want to change the boot order by booting default mac os | 17:44 |
| bazhang | Fudzi: you want help booting osx with boot camp as the default | 17:44 |
| DJAdmiral | CyanideD: should be easy enough. What model is your nvidia card again? | 17:44 |
| DJAdmiral | kesi: nothing seems to be out of the ordinary here. Let me compare it with my top. | 17:45 |
| Fudzi | yeah | 17:45 |
| Pici | !dualboot | Fudzi have you read this? | 17:45 |
| ubotu | Fudzi have you read this?: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 17:45 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: they will be automatically installed in the right folder, which is not your home --- your home is for your personal files and personal configuration for different progs (eg your firefox preferences) | 17:45 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys, yes mostly. When you install them that way, where do they go? | 17:45 |
| bazhang | ##apple Fudzi | 17:45 |
| Shinji- | db92, only with flash, i think? | 17:45 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: they go in various places inside of /usr/share | 17:45 |
| CyanideD | 6200 | 17:45 |
| kesi | DJAdmiral, firefox is flaking again | 17:45 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: /usr ...so where does /usr reside (what partition) / ? | 17:46 |
| DJAdmiral | kesi: hmm, odd. xorg takes up only 1% usage on my computer. strange. | 17:46 |
| LordInfamous | hey | 17:46 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: how many partitions do you have? | 17:46 |
| db92 | Shinji-: what do you mean "flash" ?:p | 17:46 |
| Fudzi | Pici: thx | 17:46 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: are you coming from windows? ie are you a previous windows user? | 17:46 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: i have a 2GB partition for /swap, a 15GB partition for /, and the rest of my HDD for /home | 17:46 |
| LordInfamous | is it possible to set up a printer on a desktop running ubuntu and have it be available on the network on my xp laptop | 17:46 |
| Fudzi | ok i find the solution | 17:47 |
| kesi | DJAdmiral, what does the xorg proc do? | 17:47 |

| exneo | anybody | 17:47 |
| Fudzi | bye | 17:47 |
| db92 | Shinji-: not what im rly interested in | 17:47 |

| ghostlines | does anyone know how to minimize fullscreen games? | 17:47 |
| exneo | where anybody know? | 17:47 |
| Pici | ghostlines: usually alt-enter | 17:47 |
| prince_jammys | prince_jammys: /usr is in your / partition, and it take up the most space, along with your home, if you have many files (movies and such) | 17:48 |
| sirius-black | hey | 17:48 |
| jeffMASTERflex | !ot | exneo | 17:48 |
| ubotu | exneo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 17:48 |

| sirius-black | what about jack server help? XD | 17:48 |
| kesi | DJAdmiral it's a Celeron on a laptop , let me see if I can find out which one | 17:48 |
| LordInfamous | DJAdmiral, yes ive tried it on xp but its not seeming to work so i figuered ubuntu would be easier, and work :) | 17:48 |
| DJAdmiral | ghostlines: which games, for instance? | 17:48 |
| ghostlines | urban terror | 17:49 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: so should I resize and give / more space? my /home is 138GB. I definately have some to spare | 17:49 |
| ghostlines | i'm running ubuntu with gnome | 17:49 |
| prince_jammys | prince_jammys: /usr takes up space because all progs go there:: /usr/share/bin stores the executables, /usr/share/doc stores documentation/manuals that may come with progs,,, /usr/share/libs stores libraries ...... so a single program will have files in all those directories ... when uninstalled, they are found and removed | 17:49 |
| kesi | here's the current firefox error: raichlea@gilgamesh:~$ firefox | 17:49 |
| kesi | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 17:49 |
| DJAdmiral | ghostlines: usually alt+tab, or F11, or Alt+Enter | 17:49 |
| DJAdmiral | kesi: segmentation fault? | 17:49 |
| ghostlines | cool i'll give it a go and see if it works thanks | 17:49 |

| theLichKing | hamid, well, if it says kernel source not found, then you don't have the kernel source.. install it from apt | 17:56 |
| david | hmm.. I'm having an odd problem with videofiles and my players, they don't seem to automatically open the files? | 17:56 |
| theLichKing | hamid, i believe it's the kernel-source package | 17:56 |
| david | SMPlayer for example only starts when I doubleclick a file | 17:56 |
| stephen-mason | where can i download avant? | 17:56 |
| DJAdmiral | hamid, try exactly this command in the terminal: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'uname -r' | 17:56 |
| theLichKing | hamid, but i don't know why a modem driver would require the kernel sources, have you tried googling your card+ubuntu? | 17:56 |
| david | could this perhaps be that I need a custom startline? | 17:56 |
| Weird-Donkey | i've got a screen problem here with ubuntu, can anybody help ? | 17:57 |
| david | /usr/bin/smplayer -blah ? | 17:57 |
| DJAdmiral | theLichKing: There are quite a few modem drivers that need the kernel sources. eagle-usb is one. | 17:57 |
| DJAdmiral | theLichKing: mostly for USB modems. | 17:57 |
| Pici | !ask | Weird-Donkey | 17:57 |
| ubotu | Weird-Donkey: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 17:57 |
| theLichKing | DJAdmiral, thanks for the information, i didn't know that | 17:57 |
| Weird-Donkey | alright, ill type this up | 17:57 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: sorry, I had a power interruption | 17:58 |

| stephen-mason | avant window navigator where can i download? | 17:58 |
| DJAdmiral | theLichKing: Anytime. Compiling kernel modules regularly does give you some very useful knowledge :P | 17:58 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: in the menu: Application --> Accessories --> Disk Usage Analyzer (another way of opening "baobab") | 17:58 |
| Frijolie | prince_jammys: I must not have baobab installed, "bash: not baobab is not a recognized command" | 17:59 |
| DJAdmiral | hamid: try this command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-'uname -r' | 17:59 |
| Survivorman | http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/ | 17:59 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: KDE or gnome? | 17:59 |
| DJAdmiral | copy and paste it, if you must | 17:59 |
| hamid | ok | 17:59 |
| kesi | DJAdmiral, weird... I found a post on the ubuntu forums that had the same segmentation fault. They recommended uninstalling colorzilla which hasn't worked right in ubuntu anyways. I did that and it seems to be working now | 17:59 |
| Pici | DJAdmiral: use backticks not regular quotes for that. | 17:59 |
| theLichKing | hamid, it could be kernel-headers.. go to synaptic and search for kernel + source | 17:59 |
| sirius-black | thereś a strange bug, sometimes my mouse freaks, and i get logoff requests | 17:59 |
| Odd-rationale | stephen-mason: You can also get a .deb at www.getdeb.net | 17:59 |
| DJAdmiral | kesi: Odd. Good work on getting it to work proper again, though | 17:59 |
| Survivorman | or here https://launchpad.net/awn | 17:59 |

| DJAdmiral | Pici: Ooh yes, thanks. I keep forgetting to do that. | 18:01 |
| david | anyone else using SMPlayer who can paste their commandlines? | 18:01 |
| Pici | DJAdmiral: or alternatively, use $(uname -a) | 18:01 |
| prince_jammys | Frijolie: from there you can "scan filesystem" and it'll show you a pretty picture of what your system looks like | 18:01 |
| DJAdmiral | hamid, sorry, copy and paste this one instead: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) | 18:01 |

| LukeLM | The thing about console emulators is to make them perfect takes A LOT of time and hard work, then all you get from it is a bunch of whiners asking for roms etc | 18:14 |
| Jordan | rinaldi_: it works for all of my games, but fps never goes above 40 | 18:14 |
| theLichKing | Bodsda, i see | 18:14 |
| Bodsda | Survivorman, ok ty,. ive already tried that,.,.i couldnt get it to work -- tbh i had no idea what to do with any of it? any thoughts> | 18:14 |
| rinaldi_ | Jordan: well its been a while since i tried it, just asumes. may try again thanks | 18:15 |
| Bodsda | theLichKing, because they have to right the compat layers by hand now -- so good be a while ,.,.although i found this information 4 months ago ,.,.might be different now | 18:15 |
| LukeLM | I doubt you'll ever seen a good PS2 emulator or any consoles after that | 18:15 |
| joeamined | hi | 18:15 |
| Bodsda | LukeLM, why? | 18:15 |
| LukeLM | Read up :P | 18:15 |

| rustmonster | fdamstra: top is | 18:26 |
| Bodsda | rinaldi_, but thats not really a fix | 18:26 |
| prince_jammys | rustmonster: 3.316 gigs is what i got | 18:26 |
| lgc | how can I grep the lines that begin with 1 and end with 14, with anything in the middle? | 18:26 |
| LMJ | all others AngryElf, look into synaptic for some light http browser like galeon | 18:26 |

| rustmonster | rustmonster: that's an awful lot of ram to eat for memory though... | 18:27 |
| rinaldi_ | Bodsda: well it is wine you're running these games in? its recommended that you dont run compiz anyway | 18:27 |

| prince_jammys | rustmonster: short about 700 M or .68 gigs | 18:29 |
| Pici | fdamstra: why not just egrep '^1.*14$' filename ? | 18:29 |
| pike_ | aunes: certainly possible but safer probably just to install to nother partition and reuse or backup /home | 18:29 |
| pike_ | aunes: im sure there is a thread in the forums with howto though | 18:29 |
| fdamstra | Pici: that would work too, pici, and probably more efficient. | 18:30 |
| rustmonster | Hm, actually I doubt my video uses 716 megs of RAM | 18:30 |
| lgc | fdamstra, I just came to the conclusion that you are right. Though in theory "^1*14$" should do the trick, if I'm right. | 18:31 |
| fdamstra | Okay, I have a server running 6.06 LTS server. It boots fine, but networking doesn't work. ifconfig shows the correct IP information, but arp table remains empty. If I run /etc/init.d/network restart, everything starts working until the next reboot. | 18:31 |

| Bodsda | ocha, nope none of them are | 18:32 |
| Jordan_ | live cd wont boot a gui and reconfiguring doesnt work | 18:32 |
| fdamstra | lgc: both work in all my tests. Maybe there's something strange with your input. | 18:32 |
| ocha | bodsda: but the first one is working for you? | 18:32 |
| lgc | fdamstra, I actually want it to be 'grep -E "^1\ .*14$"'. | 18:33 |
| Bodsda | ocha, all three work for me , and the 4th demo version | 18:33 |
| fdamstra | lgc: You probably need to use apostrophes not quotes or the shell might try to glob that *. | 18:34 |
| ocha | bodsda: i didn't know there were a fourth one coming out? how do you get around the mouse leaving the directx app window? | 18:34 |
| lgc | fdamstra, let me try that... | 18:34 |
| rustmonster | my laptop specs say that it should only be up to 224MB of shared video memory | 18:34 |
| lgc | fdamstra, nah! It didn't work. | 18:35 |

| mthope-nosKill | Im thinking about switching to ubuntu from windows, anyone think this is the best thing to do? i want to have a better environment to program in but i still wanna be able to use my old windows programs... or at least some of them.. like poker | 18:38 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, I mean you, be my guest: '1 12.0290 -8.5444 12.8800 1.3126 14'. These are the patterns I want to catch. | 18:38 |
| ocha | bodsda, do you have problems with the mouse only in the first dawn of war? | 18:38 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: grep -e '^1.*14$' | 18:38 |
| Bodsda | ocha, no, all of them | 18:38 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, it needs the space after "1", | 18:38 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: followed by the filename | 18:38 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: grep -e '^1 .*14$' matches the line you pasted | 18:39 |
| Jordan_ | mthope-nosKill: u may want to keep windows in case ubuntu doesn't work for u. ive been trying for about 3 days and still cant get it to install but windows runs fine on my system. Just backup ur data before u do anything! | 18:39 |
| ocha | bodsda. how do oyu deal with that? i can't stand it. it's unplayible for me. do you use the arrow keys | 18:39 |
| develtiie | hello, I want to enabled java into firefox. I don't want to use sun-java6-plugin since I have already installed java manually. I have done the link 'ln -s /my/path/jdk6/jre/.../libjava_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins'. When I try an applet I have no error but it's white. When I disable java into firefox menu, I't written 'java not supported'. What can be wrong ? thanks | 18:39 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: space after 1 | 18:39 |
| Boglizk_ | Uhm.. i sorta pressed alt-shift-ctrl-f5 for some reason.. and it like.. did something O.o.. like.. X is gone, but still running, and the music is still playing.. | 18:40 |
| === Boglizk_ is now known as Boglizk | ||
| mthope-nosKill | Jordan_: thanks, do you know if you can still use most windows programs? do .exe work on ubuntu? | 18:40 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, 'grep -e '^1 .*14$' ' produces no output on my term. | 18:40 |
| Bodsda | ocha, no, i can still scroll acroos the screen with the mouse, aslong as i dont use the left hand sie -- i use the corners | 18:40 |
| ocha | bodsda, just letting you know, i can get dark crusade full screen mode to control the mouse, but the second i go into windows mode. i can't get it to lock down within wine for some reason | 18:40 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: followed by the filename? | 18:40 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, of course. | 18:40 |
| Bodsda | ocha, could you not just maximise the window? | 18:40 |
| sirius-black | how do i make an input channel from my midi keyboard? | 18:41 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: mmm i just pasted it in stdin and it showed a match, not sure whats up | 18:41 |
| Jordan_ | mthope-nosKill: some work well and others dont work at all. office has opensources and basic software is fine. As for .exe files us an emulator like Wine. | 18:41 |
| Bodsda | guys can you help with this error please : bod@bod-desktop:~/Desktop/vbaexpress-1.2$ make sh ./misc/make_readme.sh ./misc/make_readme.sh: 10: Syntax error: "(" unexpected make: *** [first] Error 2 | 18:41 |
| ocha | bodsda, what do you mean? when im in windows mode, just max to fit the screen? | 18:42 |
| Bodsda | ocha, yer | 18:42 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, would it have to do with globbing, perhaps? | 18:42 |
| sirius-black | how do i make an input channel from my midi keyboard? | 18:42 |
| mthope-nosKill | Jordan _: so if i use Wine that means i can use any exe program?? | 18:42 |
| LimCore | mthope-nosKill: not every program is compatible. the simple ones usually | 18:43 |
| Bodsda | mthope-nosKill, no -- only some exe's --well most of them | 18:43 |
| mthope-nosKill | do you think its gonna be hard for me to learn to use the OS? im a programmer and feel it will be useful to know how to use it | 18:43 |
| Jordan_ | mthope-nosKill: almost any exe program. Some games dont work but most "normal" programs run fine | 18:43 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: created a file with that line in it, ran the grep and it matched --- so i dont know whats going on | 18:44 |
| salik | hello ubuntians | 18:44 |
| rinaldi_ | mthope-nosKill: ubuntu is easy to learn once you get into it. as for the .exe files go to winehq and there is an app database with ratings on compatibility | 18:44 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, hmm... I'm puzzled... | 18:44 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: a GNU grep issue vs other grep?? i really dont know | 18:44 |
| mthope-nosKill | rinalidi_ | 18:44 |
| mthope-nosKill | rinalidi_: how do i get there? sorry im new to all this i dont even have it installedyet | 18:45 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, since we're both on Ubuntu with default term options -I suppose- that shoudn't be an issue. | 18:45 |
| db92 | is there a way to make grub work on demand (ie keypress) instead of having it always boot at startup? | 18:45 |
| rinaldi_ | mthope-nosKill: http://appdb.winehq.org/ just do a search on the left pane. howver there are many open source alternatives to windows programs, have a look for those before you install any .exe's | 18:46 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: any special chars in the filename? | 18:46 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, nope. 'movies.loc'. | 18:46 |
| acuster | db92, what would happen if grub didn't work? (you need a bootloader, no?) | 18:46 |
| === tyczek__ is now known as Tyczek | ||
| mthope-nosKill | rinaldi_: thank you. so as far as programming goes ill still be fine? i program in java c++ xhtml that kinda stuff, it will all work in this OS? | 18:47 |
| db92 | in fact i need a bootloader for dualboot between oss | 18:47 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: the folks at #bash can deal with this well | 18:47 |
| ocha | bodsda, it's already maxed, or at least maxed size within the panel bar | 18:47 |
| db92 | but as this is in fact my older brother's pc (ugh) and he doesnt "want" to see the bootloader appear at startup so it always boots up windows when it starts | 18:47 |
| Bodsda | ocha, and you dont like playing like that? | 18:47 |
| db92 | i was like "kay ill ask if it bootloader can be launched on keypress" | 18:47 |
| rinaldi_ | mthope-nosKill: im no programmer but im pretty sure you'll be fine with c++ | 18:48 |
| prince_jammys | lgc: its grep city over there, they should be able to fix this | 18:48 |
| lgc | prince_jammys, good idea. Let me try luck there. | 18:48 |
| db92 | and here i am, for my idiotic brother's annoyance. so there is a way to make it work on keypress? :P | 18:48 |
| mthope-nosKill | rinaldi_: ok thanks | 18:48 |
| acuster | db92: make it time out with 1sec and it will flash by | 18:48 |
| ocha | bodsda, full screen mode or windows mode? which one do you mean? | 18:48 |
| ali1234 | db92: you can set an option to hide grud and boot windows as default. you wont see it unless you press escape | 18:48 |
| mthope-nosKill | rinaldi_: why do you use this os as opposed to others? | 18:48 |
| acuster | even better | 18:48 |
| Bodsda | ocha, fulscreen and maximized are different correct? | 18:48 |
| db92 | ali1234: press escape WHEN? :p | 18:48 |
| ali1234 | db92: it outputs a very short message like "press escape for boot menu" or something, iirc | 18:49 |
| db92 | aha :p | 18:49 |
| rinaldi_ | mthope-nosKill: well the main thing is that it works from go, i could go on though | 18:49 |
| ocha | bodsda, a little bit, you can see your panels bars it matters to me. i rather play in windows mode any day over full screen mode | 18:49 |
| mthope-nosKill | rinalid_: what do you mean wit works from go | 18:50 |

| Odd-rationale | ali1234: What are it's potentials compared to blender, in your opinion? | 18:52 |

| AngelBai | Freakingme, may be you should install a game to test it. | 18:54 |
| ocha | bodsda, i like to access my folder manager faster, and i like the look and the feel i get when i see my panel bars at the top and bottom of my screen | 18:54 |
| Freakingme | AngelBai I'm not that into gaming. I'm trying to run an app with wine, and I suspect opengl to be the troublemaker | 18:54 |

| Docfxit | Is there a firewall in Ubuntu? I need to open up a port. | 19:01 |
| mark4 | am i just not understandingt something here or what? | 19:01 |
| ali1234 | Okn: vmware should do it if wine can't | 19:01 |

| Okn | ali1234, sagol ;) | 19:02 |
| mark4 | if i try move one icon IN BETWEEN to others in instead drop the icon im moving ON TOP OF one of the others | 19:02 |
| Docfxit | pocketdrummer » yes but I'm on the lan not going through the firewall | 19:02 |
| mark4 | ugh | 19:02 |
| Pici | mysterycool: Theres also Openoffice for Ubuntu that can open .doc files. | 19:02 |
| mysterycool | pocketdummer: its just cuz microsoft office have many more futures than oppen office | 19:02 |
| mark4 | ok i see it now | 19:02 |
| mark4 | if dragging is not the way to do it then dragging should not be an option | 19:03 |
| mysterycool | yeah i know openoffice. ive used it but i prefer the office of microsoft | 19:03 |
| Pici | mark4: If the icons are locked they won't move, thats by design. | 19:03 |
| pocketdrummer | docfxit: I was just asking, because my router has a built in firewall. I'm not sure if Ubuntu has its own. | 19:03 |
| Pici | !firewall | Docfxit | 19:03 |
| ubotu | Docfxit: 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). | 19:03 |
| pocketdrummer | mysterycool: Fair enough :D | 19:03 |
| mysterycool | :p | 19:03 |
| ali1234 | mark4: dragging means to open a file with an app, like dragging a document onto open office icon or whatever... | 19:04 |
| mark4 | pici they wernt locked. i had already unlocked them. but if dragging them with the mouse is not the way to move them (i.e. click on them and move the mouse) then it should not be an option | 19:04 |
| mark4 | ] | 19:04 |

| tknudsen | Is it possible to re-build the distribution in ubuntu, like FreeBSD 'make world'? | 19:04 |

| maximilion_ | Heh. Forrest Gumpsy! | 19:09 |
| ocha | maximillion, im on it now and I don't really like it. i would likie to get on multiple sever. if i remember correctly, xchat, i think it's call was good. any other options for irc clients? | 19:09 |
| maximilion_ | ocha, xirc, irssi | 19:10 |
| HYPOKRIT | Thanx liran | 19:10 |
| maximilion_ | ocha, I come from mIRC, and XChat is like being home again :) | 19:10 |
| ZeD-- | Hello, i have installed Gusty 64Bit on my laptop, after i installed nvidia drivers, i rebooted and got a black screen ... much info online, not resolution ... anyone know what could it be ? | 19:10 |
| maximilion_ | In fact, it has a few nice extras | 19:10 |
| Slart | ZeD--: tried removing the splash screen? | 19:11 |
| ZeD-- | Slart, not too concerned about the boot ... yea .. i know that issue... dont care much , at gdm / startx all i get is a black screen | 19:13 |
| maximilion_ | ZeD--, I have nvidia, and just selected "generic nvidia 6800" (since it is my card) after install. Did you get drivers from nvidia.com? If so, did you install restricted-xxxxxx in Synaptic? I think it's needed for nonfree drivers | 19:13 |
| maximilion_ | !restricted | ZeD-- | 19:13 |
| ubotu | ZeD--: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 19:13 |
| ocha | maximilion, whats is there a big difference between xirc and xchat? is irssi any good? which one do you use the msot? | 19:13 |
| ZeD-- | yes i have tried both nvidia.com drivers and nvidia-glx-new ( which installes the restricted as a dependency ) | 19:13 |
| ricky_clarkson | irssi is very good. | 19:13 |
| Slart | maximilion_: restricted drivers and drivers from nvidias site can sometimes conflict.. better to use one or the other | 19:13 |
| rajasun | so is scrollz | 19:14 |
| ricky_clarkson | xchat is stupid, because they charge for the Windows build. That puts me off. | 19:14 |
| salik | :} | 19:14 |
| maximilion_ | Slart, yeah, I could be wrong | 19:14 |
| MasterShrak | ricky_clarkson theres a free windows build out there | 19:14 |
| salik | mIRC runs fine on wine :} | 19:14 |
| MasterShrak | ricky_clarkson lemme link you, one sec | 19:14 |
| salik | hello ubuntians | 19:14 |
| ricky_clarkson | MasterShrak: Yeah, I heard. I'm used to irssi anyway. | 19:14 |
| maximilion_ | but ZeD-- I would give the generic drivers a shot before trying stuff from nvidia.com since it depends on so many things | 19:14 |
| MasterShrak | ricky_clarkson http://www.silverex.org/download/ | 19:15 |
| lawl | lawl | 19:15 |
| salik | Envy works best for all nVIDIA driver issues | 19:15 |
| lawl | Yeah | 19:15 |
| lawl | lawl | 19:15 |
| MasterShrak | !envy | salik | 19:15 |
| ubotu | salik: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 19:15 |
| maximilion_ | I've tried mIRC, XChat, and Pidgin. Pidgin was no option for me since I need multiple servers. I looked at xirc also, but it seemed like it had a bunch of loose windows, which I didn't want. | 19:16 |
| maximilion_ | that was directed to ocha | 19:16 |
| lawl | xCHAT is the shit | 19:16 |

| lawl | I need to get a linux for my new hdd | 19:17 |
| jpatrick | !irssi | salik | 19:17 |
| ubotu | salik: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 19:17 |
| MasterShrak | !download | lawl | 19:17 |
| ubotu | lawl: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://nl.releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive - PLEASE use the !torrents to download Gutsy, and help keeping the servers' load low! | 19:17 |
| maximilion_ | hypn0, well, I had a problem with it. It kept 'not showing its window' when I started it. | 19:17 |
| salik | ahan | 19:17 |
| cambazz | is there a mysql package for ubuntu. somehow i can not find it | 19:17 |
| MasterShrak | !find mysql | 19:17 |
| mooseman447 | whats the best tool to find large files on ubuntu? | 19:17 |
| maximilion_ | lawl, google 'get ubuntu' :P or go to ubuntu.com and download the cd? | 19:17 |
| ubotu | Found: libapache2-mod-auth-mysql, libdbd-mysql-perl, libmysql-java, postfix-mysql, python-mysqldb (and 91 others) | 19:17 |
| lawl | :P | 19:17 |
| lawl | Is unbunto better than debin? | 19:17 |
| lawl | *debian | 19:17 |
| MasterShrak | !lamp | cambazz | 19:18 |
| ubotu | cambazz: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 19:18 |
| jpatrick | !debian | lawl | 19:18 |
| ubotu | lawl: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 19:18 |
| MasterShrak | lawl ubuntu is based on debian | 19:18 |
| maximilion_ | lawl, Ubuntu is based on Debian | 19:18 |
| lawl | lol | 19:18 |
| maximilion_ | hehe :) | 19:18 |
| MasterShrak | :) | 19:18 |
| lawl | ah | 19:18 |
| salik | :] | 19:18 |
| lawl | it has a link :D | 19:18 |
| cambazz | well how do we install it | 19:18 |
| cambazz | i know i can install it by downloading and doing it manually | 19:18 |
| cambazz | but the package manager does not seem to have it | 19:18 |
| maximilion_ | Download, mount/burn iso, run from CD, if you like it, install from cd :) | 19:19 |
| mysterycool | btw, one thing i was always been wondering about, is why do linux use all those commands to run a program? why cant they be like windows or mac that are just download and install from a graphical insterface wizard or something? | 19:19 |
| jpatrick | !lol | lawl | 19:19 |
| ubotu | lawl: Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 19:19 |
| yoluca | is there another place from where mplayer read the config files except /home/luca/.mplayer/config ? | 19:19 |
| MasterShrak | cambazz im not exactly sure what package you need for it | 19:19 |
| datacop | hi, does anyone know what to do when OO has no window boarders on kubuntu (running compiz) | 19:19 |
| david08 | hello | 19:19 |
| zblach | quick question. in ubuntu, where is the shared mysql library directory? | 19:19 |
| yoluca | any config that i add to the mplayer config file it being ignored ... any idea ? | 19:19 |
| mysterycool | i mean, mac are unix too i think, but they are like 110% graphical :s | 19:19 |
| cambazz | zblach: how did you install it? | 19:19 |
| MasterShrak | datacop do other programs have window borders? | 19:19 |
| david08 | my keyboard has forward, back, refresh button for use in internet. how do i configure them? | 19:19 |
| zblach | cambazz: mysql? sudo apt-get install | 19:19 |
| lawl | linux is so much more a pain | 19:19 |
| lawl | than windows | 19:19 |
| Eckos | how do i change from utc to local in kde? | 19:19 |
| datacop | MasterShrak jeah, only OO has this problems | 19:19 |
| MasterShrak | !keys | david08 | 19:20 |
| ubotu | david08: Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 19:20 |
| cambazz | zblack: sudo apt-get install what? | 19:20 |
| zblach | but i'm writing some UDFs, so i need to add them | 19:20 |
| maximilion_ | ocha, I prefer XChat over mIRC and Pidgin, basically because it's easy to install and has some nice options. Pidgin had some strange scroll thing going, I always had to draw the scrollbar down to bottom :( | 19:20 |
| cambazz | how can I make a apt-get search | 19:20 |
| kaoticsnow | After installing Ubuntu server with the LAMP option, whats the default mysql password? | 19:20 |
| zblach | mysql works fine. i'm just wondering where the shared libraries live | 19:20 |
| MasterShrak | lawl at first maybe, but when you figure it out, youll think exactly the opposite, and probably to more of an extreme | 19:20 |
| david08 | MasterShrak, thanks, i already tried that and now i will try keytouch | 19:20 |
| ocha | maxilion, thanks. i think im gonna install xchat again | 19:20 |
| zblach | cambazz: i got mysql and the C++ mysql devel libraries | 19:20 |
| maximilion_ | ocha, xirc and irssi, never tried them. It's easy to install and remove stuff, which means it's easy to try stuff out :) | 19:20 |
| theunixgeek | Anyone use GNUstep? I need help opening Project Builder. I don't know where it's located. | 19:20 |
| zblach | and php, and apache, and all that other fun stuff | 19:21 |

| david08 | how do i edit firefox keyboard shortcuts? | 19:28 |
| tknudsen | It seems like most linux users are still package users and don't build stuff from source. Fedora and Ubuntu have script-kiddy docs wherever I look. FreeBSD let me do what I want, but I have to use the linux kernel for work... | 19:28 |
| MasterShrak | AfroRowan no, it shouldnt be asking for a password, just leave it blank | 19:28 |
| AfroRowan | already tried that combo's | 19:28 |

| L3ttuc3 | i tried installing xserver-xgl as a fix for jerky videos as advised in #compiz, didn't like it, uninstalled it, and since then, nautilus no longer displays icons on my desktop, and in fact, the desktop background no longer accepts clicks, or right-clicks, or even drag and drop. how do i re-enable all that? | 19:43 |
| ikonia | lordleemo: but what do you want to do with it ? | 19:43 |

| Lifeisfunny | mjw-, would that dpkg reconfigure command do anything? I've fixed something in the past with that, not sure if it was of video origin though | 20:09 |
| mjw- | Lifeisfunny in a terminal, try sudo apt-get remove gnash; sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 20:09 |
| mjw- | Lifeisfunny that resolves every possible issue that I can think of that's fairly common | 20:09 |
| mjw- | Lifeisfunny just make sure your web browsers are closed when you do all that | 20:10 |
| Lifeisfunny | mjw-, ok, but I don't have gnash installed that I know of | 20:10 |
| mjw- | Lifeisfunny it sometimes sneaks in ;)...it doesn't hurt to make sure it's not there | 20:10 |

| lapsey | pike_: I don't :| where are the kernels stored? I can edit grub by hand | 20:13 |
| Lifeisfunny | mjw-, here's what returned.... 'Package gnash is not installed, so not removed' 'E: Invalid operation flashplugin-nonfree' 'flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version.' | 20:13 |
| prince_jammys | Lifeisfunny: apt-get remove --purge <-- i think is the syntax | 20:14 |

| Lifeisfunny | prince_jammys, on what package? | 20:14 |
| prince_jammys | Lifeisfunny: was wondering earlier when i read the post | 20:14 |
| prince_jammys | Lifeisfunny: the purge | 20:14 |
| mjw- | prince_jammys although sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree just worked here when I tried it | 20:14 |

| killux | is it better to install video card drivers right off nvidia's website or through something like Envy, i have the 8600GT? anyone? | 20:18 |
| mjw- | !envy | killux | 20:18 |
| ubotu | killux: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 20:18 |
| prince_jammys | killux: !envy | 20:18 |
| pocketdrummer | Jowi: REALLY stretched. | 20:18 |
| UBeavUNTU | hi folks =) | 20:18 |
| prince_jammys | killux: neither -- get from apt | 20:18 |
| dooglio | hah! never mind...i had something dodgy in my ld.so.conf file :-) | 20:18 |
| killux | is the restricted manager take the drivers right on nvidia's website? | 20:18 |
| Lifeisfunny | mjw-, ok, I got a whole different process this time, but it reads, Download done. md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz The Flash plugin is NOT installed. | 20:19 |
| Jowi | pocketdrummer, ok, so the vid you are trying to watch is a bit strange. | 20:19 |
| evil_tech | anyone know of any good speech to text software for linux | 20:19 |
| UBeavUNTU | anyone able to help me with trying to resurrect a seemingly not so dead hdd? | 20:19 |
| Pici | Lifeisfunny: Make sure that the gutsy backports and updates repositories are enabled. | 20:19 |
| Lifeisfunny | ok | 20:19 |
| pocketdrummer | Jowi: It says it's 320x240 (codec: mpeg-1) | 20:20 |
| prince_jammys | !nvidia | killux | 20:20 |
| ubotu | killux: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:20 |
| mjw- | Lifeisfunny and make sure to run sudo apt-get update before trying to install it again. | 20:20 |

| maximilion_ | pocketdrummer, what app are you using to play videos? | 20:20 |

| mad_max02 | is there any changelist for hardy ?? | 20:21 |
| astabeno | I'm running Hardy Alpha 4 in a VMWare Virtual machine and have the VMWare tools installed. After I open the vmware-toolbox, it runs perfectly for about 15 to 20 minutes and then the tools close. I can open them back up and everythings is fine but it closes again after 20 minutes or so. Is this a Hardy problem or a VMware problem? | 20:21 |
| aguitel | when i open aplication ,there is no icon in the title bar ,anyone know about this? | 20:21 |
| Pici | !hardy | astabeno | 20:21 |
| ubotu | astabeno: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 20:21 |
| Tomi | finish? | 20:21 |
| maximilion_ | pocketdrummer, I use VLC, works fine here and you can set ratio. | 20:21 |
| Lifeisfunny | mjw-, ok | 20:21 |
| mad_max02 | ? | 20:21 |
| Tomi | why? | 20:21 |
| pocketdrummer | Totem works in the correct aspet ratio, and I believe VLC does too, but both have problems with fast forwarding through the video, and VLC refuses to play it :_( | 20:21 |
| maximilion_ | astabeno, sounds like an Alpha version problem ,) | 20:21 |
| mjw- | Lifeisfunny the md5sum mismatch was a problem a few weeks back but should not be popping up anymore | 20:21 |
| killux | prince_jammys: i understand but does the restricted driver manager install the same binaric drivers as this : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.09.html | 20:22 |
| mjw- | killux: restricted drivers = nvidia's proprietary drivers | 20:22 |
| hfmls | ikonia, are u there? | 20:22 |
| maximilion_ | pocketdrummer, strange. VLC plays old muppet show clips from 2000 and the latest vids. | 20:22 |
| prince_jammys | killux: i don't know | 20:22 |
| killux | mjw-: thank you | 20:22 |

| Nibblyn | L3ttuc3: thanks for the url! | 20:23 |
| Tomi | no I'm hungarian | 20:23 |
| pocketdrummer | maximilion_: Yeah, usually it works, but this one just stops 1 second into it and stays there. | 20:23 |
| maximilion_ | Tomi, yeah I saw that :) | 20:23 |
| L3ttuc3 | Nibblyn not sure that will fix your brand of the problem. i've read about a few different ones, and im not sure where mine ends up either. | 20:23 |
| Jowi | pocketdrummer, 1.19:1 is called "movietone" apparently. 35mm used in late 1920-1930. | 20:23 |
| Tomi | Hungarian isnt Finn | 20:24 |
| maximilion_ | pocketdrummer, well I think it is more about player compatibility than any setting. I'm not the right person to ask, all the vids that worked in XP worked in Linux :P | 20:24 |
| Tomi | :) | 20:24 |
| vipaca | Im working with a box that has no video output | 20:24 |
| Tomi | :) | 20:24 |

| vipaca | what do I have to do get vncserver | 20:24 |
| vipaca | and kde | 20:24 |
| Jowi | pocketdrummer, try "mplayer -zoom -aspect 1.19:1 filename" | 20:24 |
| pocketdrummer | jowi: That's weird. | 20:24 |
| v_sec | anyone up for helping with the god awful problem of gutsy + compiz + update = no window borders | 20:24 |
| vipaca | or should this be out of the box | 20:24 |
| davmonster | Hi, I have a question.. how do I upgrade to the lastest version of a package? | 20:24 |
| Nibblyn | L3ttuc3: as i said... i'm a newbie, everything is wellcomed :) indeed the keyboard is working fine :) | 20:24 |
| Tomi | funny man... | 20:25 |
| Tomi | :) | 20:25 |
| maximilion_ | v_sec, I've heard that problem before, the guy on the forum said he liked no borders :) | 20:25 |
| TheArthur | vipaca, settings->preferences->remote desktop | 20:25 |
| Tomi | I have a problem | 20:25 |
| L3ttuc3 | Nibblyn well, good for you. i still suspect i might find my problem recurs at the next login. :/ | 20:25 |
| davmonster | I know apt-get update updates everything | 20:25 |
| davmonster | but for some reason it's not actually updating this package that I want it to | 20:25 |
| vipaca | theArthur I have no display | 20:25 |
| tek-ops | Hey all | 20:25 |
| ph0rensic | davmonster: update just updates your sources list with any new packages that have been added | 20:26 |
| pocketdrummer | Jowi: it says, "Error parsing option on the command line: -aspect" | 20:26 |
| TheArthur | vipaca, vnspasswd | 20:26 |
| mjw- | davmonster there may be no newer version in the repositories | 20:26 |
| Tomi | the translation | 20:26 |
| TheArthur | snvpasswd | 20:26 |
| Tomi | ;-) | 20:26 |
| mjw- | davmonster what package is it? | 20:26 |
| vipaca | TheArthur what are you talking about? | 20:26 |
| v_sec | maximilion_: haha, well it switches every other day it seems- one day i have none, the next I have fully transparent ones, but in the end i just keep reverting to metacity --replace | 20:26 |
| maximilion_ | Tomi, no magyar? | 20:26 |
| davmonster | sorry I meant upgrade | 20:26 |
| TheArthur | you can start the server manually | 20:26 |
| davmonster | not update | 20:26 |
| Tomi | de | 20:26 |
| Pici | !enter | 20:26 |
| prince_jammys | davmonster: apt-get upgrade package_name i *think* | 20:26 |
| Jowi | pocketdrummer, should work. it works here. "mplayer -zoom -aspect 1.19:1 filename.avi" | 20:26 |
| ubotu | Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 20:26 |
| davmonster | it's mysql-server-5.0 | 20:26 |
| vipaca | Im asking if kde is apart of the server distro? | 20:26 |
| Lifeisfunny | mjw-, I haven't gotten the Update icon in the notification area yet | 20:27 |
| TheArthur | vipaca, you can use vncpasswd to set the access password | 20:27 |
| zaivaldi | Tomi, what about the translation? | 20:27 |
| maximilion_ | v_sec, well, I haven't experimented that much - I use an OSX theme on metacity (and it rocks) | 20:27 |
| mjw- | !info mysql-server-5.0 | davmonster | 20:27 |
| ubotu | davmonster: mysql-server-5.0 (source: mysql-dfsg-5.0): MySQL database server binaries. In component main, is optional. Version 5.0.45-1ubuntu3.1 (gutsy), package size 26162 kB, installed size 82504 kB | 20:27 |

| white_eagle | warlock_handler, a fresh install of ubuntu | 20:30 |
| Tomi | when? | 20:30 |

| * Odd-rationale thinks Bodsda, Dex-Freudii, ph0rensic, and Odd-rationale just made it busier. | 20:32 | |
| prince_jammys | davmonster: apt-cache show as Jowi says, will tell you everything about a package (sudo not necessary) | 20:32 |
| * ph0rensic pretends to have started it | 20:32 | |
| socketbind | is there any easy way to disable the middle-button-paste functionality? | 20:32 |
| * Bodsda thinks Dex-Freudii is trying to steal Bodsda's thunder | 20:32 | |
| * Dex-Freudii hates /me commands | 20:32 | |
| davmonster | there is a bug in mysqlhotcopy that means it won't backup UTF-8 tables, which is the default type in 7.10 mysql-server-5.0 encoding | 20:32 |
| * ph0rensic me too | 20:32 | |
| * Bodsda agrees with Odd-rationale | 20:32 | |
| Lifeisfunny | I tried that command again and I'm still getting an md5 mismatch :\ | 20:33 |
| * Odd-rationale is glad someone agrees with him (does not happen very often). | 20:33 | |
| davmonster | so.. you can't use mysqlhotcopy if you have 7.10 and don't change the default :( | 20:33 |
| * Dex-Freudii waves good bye | 20:33 | |
| Bodsda | socketbind, check your xorg.conf mouse input section | 20:33 |
| socketbind | Bodsda: erm, what exactly? | 20:34 |
| * Bodsda thinks Odd-rationale is emotionally scarred | 20:34 | |
| socketbind | i have tried a method but that disabled wheel scroll | 20:34 |
| Bodsda | socketbind, check /etc/X11/xorg.conf find the section for mouse config -- then see if the configuration is defined there | 20:34 |

I am attempting to install the beta Sound Blaster X-Fi platinum drivers from creative and they are only meant for 64bit systems. When I run the script, I get an error that says the installation cannot continue because the Operating System isnt 64bit, but I am positive that I downloaded the 64bit distro and used that for my installation. | 20:38 |

| mjw- | htaccess well if you change your screen resolution on the vnc server computer, it will change what the vnc server is exporting | 20:39 |

| mjw- | dimitri yeah, that's the thing. I had an RT73 based USB as well and it SEEMED ok during installation, but stopped working when not on the live cd | 20:51 |
| Aspys | any clue other than "read the forum please"? I don't care about having a framebuffered console or a splash screen...but at least booting the system would be nice | 20:51 |
| ompaul | liran, read this you may find it useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 20:51 |
| lollo | ok but the files that i can find in a .trash folder there aren't in the " main" trash (the icon on the desktop) prince ! | 20:52 |
| prince_jammys | liran : if no answers here, #mysql | 20:52 |

| lollo | ok but the files that i can find in a .trash folder there aren't in the " main" trash (the icon on the desktop) ... prince_jammys, | 20:54 |
| Aspys | as far as i know there aren't spywares coded for linux... | 20:54 |
| prince_jammys | kikr: yes, but highly highly highly unlikely -- dont browse the web as root --- don't do anything as root, really | 20:54 |
| mjw- | dimitri basically you need to go to a web site to download an updated kernel module, compile it yourself, etc. I can't find the link to the guide I had followed though. | 20:54 |
| Aspys | perhaps some malicious script.. | 20:54 |

| kikr | well I was talking about spyware and the web browser, not a trojan or virus | 20:55 |
| Adys | Falgor2: Click the applications ou want to install, and then at the bottom right apply changes | 20:55 |
| v_sec | has "emerald-themes" been depreciated in gutsy? | 20:55 |
| mjw- | kikr most spyware depends not only on the browser but you being on windows as well...it simply won't work in linux. | 20:56 |
| kikr | k | 20:56 |
| Aspys | Baxter, did you get suse burning cds? brasero keeps telling me "the media is not writable", the best i got was an application hang | 20:56 |
| david08 | how do i set the icons on the desktop to be small? | 20:57 |

| ubotu | Falgor2: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 21:02 |
| neverblue | Falgor2, the JVM possibly? | 21:02 |

| mjw- | Adys well now you know why it's dumping core then ;) | 21:04 |
| Adys | mjw-: Yeah. Im only trying to figure out how to work around it :P | 21:04 |

| Photocopy | mjw: Theres no section on that page for 7.10 | 21:05 |

| Photocopy | mjw: I do. | 21:06 |
| ph0rensic | Falgor2: Check all but sources on first page | 21:06 |
| Falgor2 | wait a sec | 21:06 |
| Falgor2 | I'm not there yet (finnish) | 21:06 |

| Photocopy | mjw: that failed | 21:07 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: No, just wondering :) | 21:07 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: Everything seems ok :-) | 21:07 |

| mjw- | Photocopy the remove gnash line may only return an error, it's just to take care of a possibility | 21:08 |
| ph0rensic | Falgor2: now try it in the terminal... should be able to press arrow up key to get last commands typed | 21:08 |
| Photocopy | mjw: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 21:08 |
| MasterShrak | Photocopy do you have synaptic open? | 21:08 |
| mjw- | Photocopy you have to close synaptic first | 21:08 |

| Photocopy | mjw-: Well this is no good, I need flash. | 21:16 |
| misteralexander | misteralexander@misteralexander-laptop:/media/disk$ echo.Trash* | 21:16 |

| Photocopy | mjw-: And gnash was just plain crap. | 21:16 |
| mjw- | rufus_ : no, just don't burn the file itself to a disc. | 21:16 |
| kbrooks | misteralexander, echo<space> | 21:16 |
| ph0rensic | mysterycool: Do you want to add these to an existing install or do a complete reinstall of only the server?? | 21:16 |
| misteralexander | oh | 21:16 |
| rufus_ | mjw-, i know how to burn images | 21:16 |
| kbrooks | misteralexander, <space> means type space | 21:16 |
| Matze79 | hi : | 21:17 |

| misteralexander | kbrooks => .Trash-misteralexander | 21:17 |

| maccam94 | kbrooks, Odd-rationale: uh, partition recovery tools? | 21:28 |
| ph0rensic | maccam94: Your only chance is trying to salvage what wasn't written over with some data recovery program | 21:28 |
| Photocopy | mjw-: Tjat makes the microphone pick up sound and output it out speakers.. audacity doesnt pick up the sound | 21:28 |
| mjw- | maccam94 the installation program overwrote the entire disk with ext3 file formatting. it's not going to be recoverable. | 21:28 |
| Petengy | no one have troubles with internal mic on his laptop (dell) ?? | 21:29 |

| rufus_ | okay, I already have Kubuntu installed on my hard disk | 21:29 |

| rufus_ | okay, I already have Kubuntu installed on my hard disk. I have two other partitions - /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 - Kubuntu is on /dev/hda3 - How can I choose to install Ubuntu on /dev/hda1(/media/sda1) | 21:30 |
| ph0rensic | leeping: What seems to be the issue | 21:30 |
| rufus_ | I already have a swap partition | 21:30 |
| leeping | The Ubuntu live CD doesn't appear to be willing to mount when I serve it on NFS | 21:30 |
| misteralexander | prince_jammys => i'll try that. | 21:30 |
| Photocopy | mjw: Now all the sudden clicking record makes an error opening sound device | 21:30 |
| MasterShrak | rufus_ choose it during the install | 21:30 |
| mjw- | Photocopy make sure ALSA is chosen in the volume control too | 21:30 |
| leeping | I consistently get the error: "Cannot find a live filesystem" | 21:30 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: don't bother paste-binning it if its empty | 21:31 |
| Odd-rationale | rufus_: When you install, on the partition step. Do a manual | 21:31 |
| MasterShrak | leeping mount the nfs share then mount the iso | 21:31 |
| ph0rensic | rufus_: In setup you select manually to install to that partition | 21:31 |
| rufus_ | MasterShrak, but it wants to save it to /media/hda3 | 21:31 |
| Photocopy | mjw-: Alsa is chosen, had to do that part to make sound work | 21:31 |
| rufus_ | which is where Kubuntu is | 21:31 |
| Z0d14k1 | Is there a way in compiz to force an app to always launch on a specific cube face? ie: pidgin is always Face 4 e-mail is always face 2? (is face the right word? Desktop?) | 21:31 |
| credible | Z0d14k1: yes, please join #compiz-fusion | 21:31 |
| Odd-rationale | rufus_: During instal of ubuntu, set hda2 to / | 21:31 |
| MasterShrak | rufus_ are you aware that you can use ubuntu (gnome) and kubuntu (kde) on the same install? | 21:31 |
| leeping | Mount the NFS share? | 21:31 |
| rufus_ | Okay, I got it | 21:31 |
| leeping | MasterShrak, do you mean I need the NFS server running? | 21:32 |
| rufus_ | MasterShrak, I am aware of hat | 21:32 |
| Z0d14k1 | credible: Thanks. Sorry, should have paid more attention to where I was.... | 21:32 |
| rufus_ | that* | 21:32 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: if theres another trash in there im gonna be very confused | 21:32 |
| MasterShrak | leeping what exactly are you trying to do? | 21:32 |
| leeping | I have a server computer with an image of the Ubuntu Live CD.. on the server I have PXE and TFTP | 21:32 |
| soleone | hi everyone! does someone know a good dictionary tool like babylon for ubuntu | 21:32 |
| misteralexander | prince_jammys | kbrooks => Okay, yeah it's just listing now the contents of the other trash folder. I'm wanting to just completely erase the .Trash folder entirely. So it's not on the disk at all, gone totally. | 21:33 |
| MasterShrak | soleone i think there is one already installed, check your applications menu | 21:33 |
| ballonge1 | what is the best way to mount shares via samba on my ubuntu client? by enterering username, passwords in fstab or in a txtfile inside userhome, or is there another way? | 21:33 |

| leeping | I'd like to serve the Live CD kernel on TFTP and mount the rest of the CD on NFS, so that computers on the LAN can boot up using the live CD on the server | 21:33 |
| leeping | The computers on the LAN don't have CD-ROM drives, you see .. | 21:33 |
| _Oz_ | Hello, Ubuntu friends! | 21:33 |
| MasterShrak | ic leeping, i dont have any experience doing that, sorry | 21:33 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: rm -r .Trash-misteralexander <--- but it will be recreated when delete stuff in the future | 21:34 |
| ballonge1 | leeping: how do you servhe the live cd to tftp? | 21:34 |
| ph0rensic | leeping: You trying to install remotely?? | 21:34 |
| leeping | ph0rensic: Not really. Once the computer boots up with the LiveCD, I will use netcat to write an image of a pre-configured system to the hard drive | 21:34 |
| misteralexander | okay, i'm not EVER using this SD card in the computer again. | 21:34 |
| leeping | because I have twelve identical computers | 21:34 |
| mjw- | leeping that is considerably more advanced than this channel is really designed to address. | 21:34 |

| amd | yuy | 21:37 |
| amd | tyutyuty | 21:38 |
| MasterShrak | amd please dont spam | 21:38 |
| pike_ | rufus_: i would expect ubuntu to prompt you before overwriting the mbr but im not totally sure. in any case ubuntu should autodetect the other os and set it up on its menu.lst so when it does overwrite the mbr on bootup you still have the choice of os | 21:38 |
| misteralexander | yeah, i've written to it using my Ubuntu desktop (this is my laptop // it has the smart-card reader). It's an SD card. | 21:38 |
| leeping | ph0rensic, that sounds pretty cool - I'll look at the documentation :) | 21:38 |

| === supergran is now known as muttonjeff | ||
| bascule | pike_: at the end of install you have to explicitly tell it not to overwrite, but it picks up other OS just fine, and recovery partitions too | 21:39 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: try sudo rm -r .Trash-misteralexander | 21:39 |
| Petengy | or make working an internal mic of a laptop inside ubuntu? | 21:39 |
| misteralexander | okay, hold on | 21:39 |
| muttonjeff | thanksants | 21:39 |
| misteralexander | no same output. Read-only. | 21:40 |
| Photocopy | seriously. | 21:40 |
| misteralexander | I've got to be able to do this . . . I can write info to it and delete it but when it's in the .Trash folder it's untouchable???? | 21:40 |
| Photocopy | I installed ubuntu studio to record stuff and I cant get my mic to work. I need a hand here. | 21:41 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: if you want to test that, try this touch testfile | 21:41 |

| misteralexander | okay, lemme see. | 21:41 |
| s0u][ight | i got troubleshooting with sound :s | 21:41 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: if you have permission, it will create an empty file called testfile | 21:41 |
| misteralexander | cannot touch 'testfile' system read-only. | 21:41 |
| pike_ | Photocopy: its almost certanly just muted if you run alsamixer you can adjust the settings for the mic | 21:42 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: so thats the problem ---- otherwise , rm -r .Trash-misteralex is all you would have to do | 21:42 |
| Photocopy | pike_: No, in alsamixer, unmuting it only makes mic input come out my speakers, audacity doesnt pick it up | 21:42 |
| Detructor | doesn't use alsa only OSS?! | 21:43 |
| Detructor | eerh | 21:43 |
| Detructor | audacity | 21:43 |
| misteralexander | so what's the problem??? It's just read-only and that's that? I'm screwed? | 21:43 |
| Photocopy | audacity lets me use oss | 21:43 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: this /media/disk you're in ;: what is it again? | 21:43 |
| Photocopy | i mean alsa | 21:43 |
| MasterShrak | v_sec chances are its a compiz setting, by doing: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager you get a program called ccsm that you can mess with settings | 21:43 |
| misteralexander | an SD card | 21:43 |
| Photocopy | i can select my sound card (listed as an alsa thing) in devices in audacity | 21:44 |
| misteralexander | My "Navigon GPS" 4GB SD Card. | 21:44 |
| Photocopy | i cannot make my microphone work | 21:44 |
| Detructor | errh...Photocopy: try to start audacity with aoss | 21:44 |
| Photocopy | detructor: How | 21:44 |
| Detructor | first you have to install alsa-oss over the package repositories | 21:44 |
| excalibas | Im having some problems with the gnome panel, it freezes and the cpu goes to 60% and stays there untill i kill it. It used to be ok.... | 21:45 |
| Photocopy | detructor: I don't like the sound of this package | 21:45 |
| Detructor | then you've to start audacity via "aoss audacity" | 21:45 |
| Detructor | oh... | 21:45 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: paste the output of this (only one line, so don't need to pastebin): grep '/media/disk' /etc/fstab | 21:45 |
| Faust-C | do i need portmap to browse MS network ? | 21:45 |
| Detructor | Photocopy: errh okay... | 21:46 |
| MasterShrak | Faust-C i dont think so | 21:46 |
| Photocopy | detructor: I can select alsa devices in audacity | 21:46 |
| v_sec | MasterShrak: thanks- so now this begs the question.... how do i have wobbly windows if "wobbly windows" isnt checked off as "enabled" in ccsm? | 21:46 |
| Faust-C | i cant browse my network even w/ smb apps | 21:46 |
| Detructor | Photocopy: okay... | 21:46 |
| MasterShrak | v_sec its probably a setting somewhere else | 21:47 |
| prince_jammys | prince_jammys: pastebin only if more than one line long | 21:47 |
| ph0rensic | v_sec: You might just have advanced desktop effects marked and not full compiz | 21:47 |
| Photocopy | detructor: It simply doest work | 21:47 |
| MasterShrak | prince_jammys im glad you let yourself know that :) | 21:47 |
| v_sec | MasterShrak: any ideas where? | 21:47 |
| MasterShrak | v_sec not a clue since im not on my linux machine atm | 21:47 |
| misteralexander | PRINCE_JAMMYS => After hanging for a second it resulted in no output. Nothing happened. | 21:47 |
| Detructor | Photocopy: errhm, what happens, when you go to the "audio" panel in the system menu | 21:47 |
| Detructor | and then "test" the input? | 21:47 |
| saurabh | i want to remove freeradius since i accidently deleted radiusd.conf from /etc/freeradius, the i did sudo apt-get remove freeradius, then i installed it again, but it says it can't find radiusd.conf in /etc/freeradius/ | 21:48 |
| prince_jammys | misteralexander: it gets mounted automatically? | 21:48 |
| Detructor | and what device is selected there? | 21:48 |
| misteralexander | yeah. | 21:48 |
| Photocopy | detructor: Audacity doesnt have a system menu | 21:48 |

| v_sec | MatBoy: yeah, I had that problem too, are you using restricted-drivers? | 22:19 |
| MatBoy | ok, nice, what have you both done to make the nvidia driver run ? I have to reinstall every boot those packages and XFCE is not woring that wel thann | 22:19 |

| Thirsteh | matboy, running with the latest nvidia drivers via Envy, works fine | 22:20 |

| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 22:20 |

| Thirsteh | MatBoy, really recommend you use Envy to install the latest nvidia driver. For one it's easier and you only have to click your mouse 3 times, but most importantly it doesn't cause a conflict between the restricted manager and the nvidia driver (causing problems with being able to load Compiz etc.) | 22:27 |
| Friez | the same version on both compter | 22:28 |
| mjw- | !grub > fancy | 22:28 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, it's as simple as going to http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html , getting "Envy New", installing it and running it | 22:28 |
| ompaul | Friez, ohh you are talking sip not ubuntu - you did not write it on one line so you did not come across well and so I misunderstood what you were saying | 22:28 |

| Friez | i try to install xlite on my ubuntu computer | 22:29 |
| peanutwithchocol | Cyanide: install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 22:29 |
| Thirsteh | I'm not doubting your competency, I'm just suggesting taking the easier route because the restricted drivers manager is gonna tackle you hard unless you edit its source (or use Envy which converts the nvidia package into a .deb called 'nvidia-glx-new' hence making the restricted manager think it's just a newer version of the normal driver) | 22:29 |

| CyanideD | ok then | 22:34 |
| CyanideD | anyone know the cmd line to unstall mp3 | 22:35 |
| L3ttuc3 | Detructor what you said about top. when system monitor shows activity sometimes, in the panel, using top will not show what process is actually causing the use, if it is queued io requests or whatever. | 22:35 |
| pike_ | EnderTheThird: could have been a bug introduced sounds like | 22:35 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, but the advantage of the envy way is ? I need to make my own xorg.conf still because I have 4 monitors on 2 cards | 22:35 |

| Thirsteh | MatBoy, the advantage is you get the latest drivers, not the "stable" driver locked in the repository. There is no real downside as far as I can tell, it doesn't cause any conflicts because it acts like a new version of the standard driver and it's as easy to uninstall as typing 'sudo envy --remove-all' (if a new standard driver is released etc, nothing will break) | 22:36 |
| Detructor | CyaneideD: don't do that! | 22:36 |
| Friez | what's up ? | 22:36 |
| Detructor | ubuntu-restricted-extras is a meta package! | 22:36 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, for me, the stable driver caused freezes which I couldn't even SysRq out of X from, so it was ...heh, necessary | 22:36 |
| pike_ | EnderTheThird: so ps aux | grep gnome-panel shows a diff user? | 22:37 |
| Detructor | you will loose things like java as well | 22:37 |

| |unjustice| | hi | 22:39 |
| Starnestommy | Detructor: adept is, iirc. Aptitude is command-line | 22:39 |

| Thirsteh | Aptitude is the recommended default by Debian, but Ubuntu still seems to use apt-get, I don't know if that will change | 22:40 |

| DaveG| | Hi, i've been playing about with the Screens and Graphics settings, and now text in the GDM and aMSN are now too small to read... Anyone have any ideas? | 22:40 |
| Thirsteh | the main difference is that aptitude removes unused dependencies by default, apt-get doesn't, unless you do apt-get autoremove | 22:40 |
| Thirsteh | so it boils down to: chaos if you remove metapackages with aptitude, but not with apt-get | 22:40 |
| L3ttuc3 | Thirsteh what about synaptic? | 22:41 |
| mysterycool | Media change: please insert the disc labeled | 22:41 |

| Thirsteh | L3ttuc3, Synaptic is a GUI front-end to the apt-get APT library abstraction, ehhr.. It's apt-get :) | 22:41 |

| Thirsteh | L3ttuc3, I don't know really, I've never actually wanted to remove everything a metapackage linked to -- but, even though mixing apt-get and aptitude isn't recommended, I guess, theoretically, you could just do 'sudo aptitude remove <metapackage>' as a onetime thing | 22:43 |

| Ikkeson | Detructor: Bad news!!! I didn't work | 22:45 |
| EnderTheThird | pike_: no. that user isn't (or shouldn't be) logged in right now | 22:45 |
| NMajik | How can I resolve this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56142/? (Sorry I can't be more specific, but I really don't know what I'm looking at) | 22:45 |
| Slart | mysterycool: ok.. you type "sudo apt-get install build-essential".. what's the result? | 22:46 |
| Thirsteh | L3ttuc3, they are, and the immediate danger is a one-way thing really. The problem is, if you install a bunch of packages with apt-get deliberately and then later on decide to begin uninstalling with aptitude, aptitude won't know what packages you deliberately installed (i.e. NOT unused dependencies) and start removing stuff you might need | 22:46 |
| Detructor | Ikkeson: sorry for that... | 22:46 |
| Ikkeson | np | 22:46 |
| vinc1 | thank u Slart | 22:46 |
| Detructor | I don't have any other idea | 22:46 |
| EnderTheThird | pike_: that user is set to auto-login though. i wonder if that's part of the reason behind it after the update. i'll need to see what happens after i restart | 22:46 |
| Slart | seon: "export conditions"?? explain please | 22:46 |
| Detructor | Ikkeson: try to ask in the forum | 22:46 |
| leeping_ | Hey there .. I've crashed to the initramfs during a startup | 22:46 |
| Ikkeson | i will | 22:46 |
| leeping_ | Is there an analog of dmesg that I can use in the initramfs?? | 22:46 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, you don't. Just tell it to not touch the xorg.config. The only thing it needs is "nvidia" as the module, and you can run with your old config, unless your config is simply invalid with newer drivers | 22:46 |

| Thirsteh | Detructor, no, no, no, no, no, no. | 22:53 |
| Detructor | Thirsteh? | 22:53 |
| Thirsteh | cheesypieces, sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop if you absolutely have to | 22:54 |
| mysterycool | slarth: nothing about cd on those sections | 22:54 |
| mysterycool | slart: nothing about cd on those sections | 22:54 |
| Slart | mysterycool: hang on.. let me check.. it's supposed to be there | 22:54 |
| Detructor | or so... | 22:54 |
| Detructor | it's the same | 22:54 |
| mysterycool | slart: k | 22:54 |
| Thirsteh | fancy, hmm, there's a plugin you can enable in the advanced compiz settings that makes the "Show Desktop" button in the lower left in Gnome do something similar | 22:54 |
| cheesypieces | Detructor: yep that works, thanks | 22:54 |
| Thirsteh | it's just called "Show Desktop" I think | 22:54 |
| Detructor | and maybe sudo apt-get autoremove | 22:55 |
| NigelS | NMajik: you may be using the gcj release rather than suns - if you use synaptic you can find your java installs - just search for those, if you don't have the sun jre then install that - to choose between them in future you can use the update-alternatives --config java | 22:55 |
| Thirsteh | Detructor, no, it really isn't. | 22:55 |
| Detructor | it is * is a wildcard | 22:55 |
| Thirsteh | Yes, but your command is insane | 22:55 |
| Detructor | it works :P | 22:55 |
| Thirsteh | And it won't remove all of Kubuntu | 22:55 |
| Detructor | it will, over dependencies...you'll have to run sudo apt-get autoremove | 22:56 |

| Thirsteh | Detructor, and well, it's simply dangerous | 22:56 |
| Detructor | Thirsteh: but then they are *not relevant* and will be wiped away with autoremove | 22:56 |
| cheesypieces | btw getting rid of kubuntu-desktop gets rid of hardly any | 22:56 |

| Slart | ah.. there it is.. freenx, pretender_ | 22:59 |
| mysterycool | slart: | 22:59 |
| mysterycool | This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first. | 22:59 |

| rufus_ | do ubuntu and Kubuntu use the same kernel? | 22:59 |
| MrObvious | !lamp | 22:59 |

| fancy | Thirsteh, yes man Show Desktop did it..this is F10 in MacosX. Do you know what is f9 ? :P it cascades all the windows to desktop | 23:00 |
| Thirsteh | mysterycool, 'Add/Remove Programs' or 'Synaptic Package Manager' probably | 23:00 |
| Slart | mysterycool: synaptic.. the graphical application where you can install stuff... if you have it open.. close it | 23:00 |
| kbrooks | rufus_, *buntu are all based upon the same base | 23:00 |

| kbrooks | Malachi, yes | 23:01 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, a little easier than doing it all by hand, I'd say :) | 23:01 |
| kotsu | That is to say, I have a Windows install, a linux install, and a swap partition on my primary drive | 23:01 |
| Malachi | kbrooks: Oh, great. Do you know how? | 23:01 |
| Slart | Malachi: I don't think ssh can do that.. samba can | 23:01 |
| kotsu | In that order | 23:01 |
| kotsu | And the Windows boots from the get-go | 23:01 |
| Slart | kotsu: order doesn't matter | 23:01 |
| Malachi | Slart: That'd be fine, too. How? | 23:01 |

| Thirsteh | kotsu, it doesn't really matter. Some recommend putting Swap on the outer tracks ('Ending' of the drive in the partition manager, I think) but it's really a small difference if any | 23:02 |

| Thirsteh | MatBoy, try launching the terminal from some other terminal (xterm or something) and check the output. I doubt it's because you're on 64-bit | 23:06 |

| erUSUL | Latina: en tu cliente irc « /join #ubuntu-es » . En esta sala no se puede hablar otro idioma que no sea inglés | 23:10 |
| Slart | steve176: I have one of those too.. it works nicely in ubuntu... needs a properly power-supplied usb port though | 23:10 |
| kbrooks | Malachi, I'll leave it at that | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | !repos | mysterycool | 23:10 |
| ubotu | mysterycool: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 23:10 |
| tyrone | steve176 try manually mounting it | 23:10 |
| Malachi | kbrooks: Yeah, thanks for the warning. Actually, I have a copy of that book. I don't remember reading that.... | 23:10 |
| Slart | mysterycool: repositories are huuge software archives.. like a ftp server.. where you can get your software for ubuntu | 23:10 |
| JosiahW | Slart: well, maybe I can get something going through wine | 23:10 |
| steve176 | Slart - same machine is dual booted to WinXP and works on the same USB port | 23:10 |
| Syubi | how does the ssh command work? ssh user@host ? | 23:10 |
| Slart | steve176: have you tried mounting it manually? | 23:10 |
| erUSUL | !ssh | Syubi | 23:10 |
| ubotu | Syubi: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 23:11 |
| kbrooks | Malachi, and you may be observant enough to conclude that X security is VERY primitive | 23:11 |
| Slart | JosiahW: give it a try.. though I think getting usb connectivity working with wine might be tricky as well | 23:11 |
| kotsu | Eh, hopefully I'm not being repetitious here, but I didn't get the reply I was looking for earlier | 23:11 |
| kotsu | I'm having issues with GRUB | 23:11 |
| kotsu | That is to say, it doesn't show up | 23:11 |
| tyrone | steve176, try manually mounting it manually from the terminal http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=678047 that page will give you some information they talk about a seagate but it will help you too | 23:11 |
| mysterycool | slart: how do i get that tcl/tl whatever from the repository? | 23:11 |
| NigelS | elhoir: what does about:plugins from within firefox say about its currently install components? you may need to switch from using gcj using update-alternatives --config java | 23:11 |
| steve176 | Not yet, will try | 23:12 |
| Malachi | kbrooks: Mm. I'd think it'd be more secure than what it looks like.... | 23:12 |
| tyrone | steve176, mount it as ntfs not as ext3 | 23:12 |
| Slart | !info tcl | 23:12 |
| ubotu | Package tcl does not exist in gutsy | 23:12 |
| Slart | !tcl | 23:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tcl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:12 |
| NMajik | NigelS: OK, installed the new java packages but getting the same errors, any further insight? | 23:12 |
| Malachi | kbrooks: I suppose since a lot of servers don't run X, it's not TOO significant, but still.... | 23:12 |
| elhoir | Nigels: what?? i dont know how to do that... im newbie :-P | 23:12 |
| Slart | bah.. ubotu.. no dessert for you.. | 23:12 |
| Slart | mysterycool: why do you need tcl? what are you installing? | 23:12 |
| kotsu | ..eh. | 23:12 |
| NigelS | mysterycool: if you don't know really basic details at this stage you prob shouldn't be trying to compile software - go ahead and read some docs; i.e. open up synaptic and search for tcl | 23:13 |
| Thirsteh | Slart, aMSN, he needs the header files (-dev) | 23:13 |
| steve176 | thanks, although think I'll need to mount is as FAT | 23:13 |
| Slart | Thirsteh: isn | 23:13 |
| CapTech | Has anyone gotten RealPlayer to work on Gutsy 64-bit? | 23:13 |
| kbrooks | Malachi, BTW there is ##security to discuss security | 23:13 |
| Slart | GGARAHAHRHAHA.. sorry.. had a quick fit of rage over my keyboard.. | 23:13 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, and still again not starting after booting :S | 23:13 |
| Slart | Thirsteh: isn't amsn in the repos? | 23:14 |
| Malachi | kbrooks: Oh, nice insinuation. I'm leaving anyway. | 23:14 |
| NigelS | elhoir: in the browser address bar - type about:plugins then firefox will list its installed plugins, see what it thinks is installed (I'm assuming you've restarted all FF instances since installing java) | 23:14 |
| mysterycool | slart: i am trying to install aMSN a linux version of msn messenger (quite like it basically) and it needs that tcl/tk whatever thingy | 23:14 |
| kbrooks | Malachi, bye :-) | 23:14 |
| tyrone | Slart, I am sure amsn is in the repos I use it ^^ | 23:14 |
| Thirsteh | Slart, yep, guessing he either needs a newer version or he hasn't seen "Add/Remove"/"Synaptic" | 23:14 |
| Slart | !info amsn | 23:14 |
| ubotu | amsn (source: amsn): An MSN messenger written in Tcl. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.97RC1+dfsg-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 3371 kB, installed size 10956 kB | 23:14 |
| cappiz | would 01206873333 be a free number to call in the UK? | 23:14 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, go into synaptic search for amsn install it, or simply in the terminal type sudo apt-get install amsn | 23:15 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, you can just go to Application, Add and Remove programs | 23:15 |
| Slart | mysterycool: run this in a terminal "sudo apt-get install amsn" | 23:15 |
| fredsua | Can anyone help me install a samsumg printer driver scx-4100 using terminal? I have instructions how to properly install the driver but as a newbiew, I have no clue how to use terminal. | 23:15 |
| _Oz_ | Ubuntu friends: how can I get alternate login screens/splash screens installed into Ubuntu? | 23:15 |
| Slart | mysterycool: or on second thought... do what tyrone told you.. it's easier | 23:15 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_: | 23:15 |
| elhoir | NigelS: no java plugin, but i have just installed it :S | 23:15 |
| kbrooks | !gdm | _Oz_ | 23:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:15 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, what terminal are you using in XFCE? gnome-terminal? | 23:15 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_, erm | 23:15 |
| elhoir | NigelS: i dont understand | 23:15 |
| Slart | mysterycool: or what kbrooks said.. basically they are all easier than what I wrote =) | 23:16 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, XFCE, but it tries to start with errors again | 23:16 |
| NigelS | elhoir: how did you install it? from the repository? | 23:16 |
| marky_mark47 | anyone had problems with an ATI Radeon card? After 4 months of no problems, now every second boot my monitor image is squashed and the fonts are small. | 23:16 |
| _Oz_ | GDM? | 23:16 |
| Ikkeson | detructor?? | 23:16 |
| Toastin | I need help with a general installation... | 23:17 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_, ok, for the login screen, go to system > admin > login window | 23:17 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, can you show me the error, and if you can't see it/them, can you try launching the terminal from another terminal (so you get any output) | 23:17 |
| NigelS | NMajik: if you're sure that you're now actually using Suns JRE then I'm not sure - have you tried resetting your router before trying again? You should prob check any mailing list these guys have | 23:17 |
| elhoir | NigelS: i firstly installed from rep, sun-java6-plugin, but it didnt work, then i installed from firefoix | 23:17 |
| _Oz_ | yes? | 23:17 |
| daysleepr | hello all, how can i get the 'home' and 'end' keys to work in terminal? | 23:17 |
| Ikkeson | where can ifind info on how-to install tgz and tar.bz2 drivers | 23:17 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_, then go to the local tab. press add, and just a second lemme look for login themes | 23:18 |
| speeddemon8803 | !tgz | lkkeson | 23:18 |
| ubotu | lkkeson: Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (GNOME) or Ark (KDE) - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 23:18 |
| steve176 | Great, that worked. Any idea if it will it automatically mount in future? | 23:18 |
| rufus_ | how do I tell what number a partition is? like to find out what /dev/sda2 is | 23:18 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, I have the idea itś my 8600GT + 2.6.22-14 kernel | 23:18 |
| _Oz_ | thanks | 23:18 |
| _Oz_ | how do I install login themes, though? | 23:18 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_, i just explained | 23:18 |
| tyrone | steve176, don't forget to safely remove hardware everytime you log out of windows and it should work fine | 23:18 |
| elhoir | NigelS: Now i have both java5 and java6 installed but dont work | 23:19 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, when you say terminal, do you mean the graphical interface or a normal terminal in which you enter commands? | 23:19 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_, go here to find a theme http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=150&PHPSESSID=28ea545c9ab5183d4dcc496d7c08b93d | 23:19 |
| Toastin | my PC won't install ubuntu. | 23:19 |
| tyrone | steve176, it usually works better if you plug it in before booting | 23:19 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia | 23:19 |
| MatBoy | (EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module! | 23:19 |
| MatBoy | (EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting *** | 23:19 |
| steve176 | thanks tyrone | 23:19 |
| mikebot | I ran an install script as root, and now I'm trying to uninstall it...how do I do that? | 23:19 |
| NigelS | elhoir: right - that could have messed things up somewhat - if you mean that you downloaded Suns package, then I'm not sure as to where it installs its plugin | 23:19 |
| rufus_ | i tried /dev/sda2 as being partition 2, but GRUB said it didnt exist | 23:19 |
| === Kyle__ is now known as Silerx | ||
| mikebot | Oh, nvm. | 23:19 |
| mikebot | Thanks. | 23:19 |
| daysleepr | no word on getting the home key to work in terminal? | 23:19 |
| tyrone | Toastin, what does it say? | 23:19 |
| NigelS | elhoir: let's see what is going on; first off what do you see when you type update-alternatives --config java | 23:20 |
| kbrooks | _Oz_, when u have downloaded a theme you can go there and either press the add button and find the theme or drag and drop the theme file into the list | 23:20 |
| Toastin | Nothing. I get a blank screen with a white cursor in the top-left corner. | 23:20 |
| tyrone | daysleepr, it works fine on mine | 23:20 |
| === rob_p_ is now known as rob_p | ||
| tyrone | Toastin, what have you done | 23:20 |
| tyrone | ? | 23:20 |
| Silerx | anybody wanna explain why i ordered my fiestyfawn free cd like 5 months ago and am still waiting for it? | 23:20 |
| elhoir | Nigels: i am in another pc with the irc, please wait a minute | 23:21 |
| daysleepr | :-/ | 23:21 |
| Toastin | I inserted a disc with the .iso file on it into my cd drive, pressed enter and it was supposed to start mounting | 23:21 |
| Toastin | but it never did | 23:21 |
| DjViper | Toastin: you need to burn the .iso file AS a cd image | 23:21 |
| mysterycool | slart: its not working | 23:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | Silerx...you can check on the status of your order at the shipit website...it will say request not approved if it didnt go through. | 23:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | !shipit | 23:21 |
| tyrone | Toastin, don't copy it burn it | 23:21 |
| ubotu | shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Gutsy (7.10) CDs | 23:21 |
| mysterycool | slart: i mean i downloaded it and opened it but it wont sign in | 23:21 |
| Scunizi | How do I list the permissions of a usb memory stick? | 23:21 |
| fredsua | can someone help me install a printer driver? | 23:21 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: i am Elhoir, im going to pase the output: | 23:21 |
| Toastin | well it was from "ubuntu linux for dummies" they guaranteed it would work | 23:22 |
| Thirsteh | MatBoy, ah, you meant X. I'm sorry, I have to go, try googling "FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia", a bunch of people seem to have had similar problems | 23:22 |
| elhoir_ | elhoir@elhoir-portatil:~$ update-alternatives --config java | 23:22 |
| elhoir_ | Hay 4 alternativas que proveen `java'. | 23:22 |
| elhoir_ | Selección Alternativa | 23:22 |
| elhoir_ | ----------------------------------------------- | 23:22 |
| elhoir_ | 1 /usr/bin/gij-4.2 | 23:22 |
| elhoir_ | 2 /usr/bin/gij-4.1 | 23:22 |
| FloodBot2 | elhoir_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:22 |
| mysterycool | slart: and at the beginning when i first tried to run it it poped up some errors of language not supported | 23:22 |
| kbrooks | <Silerx> anybody wanna explain why i ordered my fiestyfawn free cd like 5 months ago and am still waiting for it? | 23:22 |
| mysterycool | told ya i need that damn tcl! :@ | 23:22 |
| speeddemon8803 | !pastebin | elhoir_ | 23:22 |
| ubotu | elhoir_: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) | 23:22 |
| Slart | mysterycool: I | 23:22 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, yes I know... I will... 0:30 here also again :) | 23:22 |
| Silerx | i keep checking it and it says that it sent it as well as the gusty gibbon cd i ordered like a couple of weeks ago and that hasent shown up yet either. | 23:22 |
| kbrooks | Silerx, dont wait anymore, go buy a CD of gutsy gibbon | 23:22 |
| Slart | mysterycool: I've never used amsn.. I can't help you with those errors.. ask the channel | 23:22 |
| MatBoy | Thirsteh, thanks so far :) | 23:22 |
| speeddemon8803 | I agree with slart | 23:23 |
| mysterycool | anybody can help with aMSN? | 23:23 |
| kbrooks | Silerx, well it can take a LONG time to deliver the cd to you | 23:23 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56146/ | 23:23 |
| ATG | Hm. Anyone here have experience with Azureus? | 23:23 |
| Silerx | i already downloaded it and burned it but i want to know why it didnt come even thogh it should have. | 23:23 |
| speeddemon8803 | or...if you have a good connection to the internet, download the iso file and burn it to a cd | 23:23 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, you don't. Run amsn from the terminal and look at the error | 23:23 |
| tyrone | s | 23:23 |
| mikebot | When I rm something (or rm -r something), where does it go? | 23:23 |
| kbrooks | Silerx, it just can take a long time. | 23:23 |
| Slart | mikebot: is this a philosophical question? | 23:23 |
| ATG | I just reinstalled it, and I used to be sharing a bunch of torrents, but I'm not entirely sure hwo to share them again.... anyone have an idea? | 23:23 |
| mysterycool | tyrone: and i do that how? its my first day on linux -_- | 23:23 |
| kbrooks | Silerx, you arent paying them | 23:24 |
| Pici | mikebot: it doesnt 'go' anywhere. its gone. | 23:24 |
| Kuroachia | Any recommendations on an app that will track wifi points in the area? | 23:24 |
| mikebot | Pici: I thought it could be recovered. | 23:24 |
| Silerx | @kbrooks, i know it can take a long time but 5 months?!? | 23:24 |
| mikebot | Slart: Heh, unfortunately no. | 23:24 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, it's removed from the hard drive permanently | 23:24 |
| Toastin | tyrone: it was a purchased disc, came with a "for dummies" book | 23:24 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, permanently as in it WILL be overwritten | 23:24 |
| Slart | mikebot: it's gone.. poof.. ceased to be.. an ex-file if you wish =) | 23:24 |
| mikebot | Then what's the difference between rm and shred? | 23:24 |
| bAndie91 | hi all | 23:24 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, ok open a terminal | 23:24 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: ok, now go to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and type: ls -al | 23:24 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, and type amsn | 23:24 |
| bAndie91 | i 'd like to use infra port to send/receive files with my handphone | 23:24 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, shred just makes it even MORE harder to recover the file | 23:25 |
| tyrone | Toastin, I can't help you then ask the dummies book | 23:25 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, by overwriting the file | 23:25 |
| Ikkeson | Can ubuntu use RPM packages?? Or if not where can i find info on compiling, because i found the sources, but i don't have a clue on what to do witi these sources. noob for life i guess | 23:25 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, many, many times | 23:25 |
| mikebot | kbrooks: Oh, hehe, OK...can you shred folders? | 23:25 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, no. | 23:25 |
| Liono | while adding users. there a primary group and theres an secondary group options. what do secondary group option do? | 23:25 |
| mark4 | ok so i just put a dvd in my drive and its popped up the dvd creator file browser. is it possible to make a backup of my / partition in here? | 23:25 |
| Jordan | if i install the server edition, can i add a GUI to it? | 23:25 |
| mark4 | its live. im booted to it | 23:25 |
| Scunizi | !permissions > Scunizi | 23:25 |
| mysterycool | tyrone: it just poped up amsn now but no error :s | 23:25 |
| mikebot | kbrooks: OK, thanks a lot for your help.. | 23:25 |
| mikebot | Bye all. | 23:25 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, uum | 23:25 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, stop | 23:25 |
| speeddemon8803 | !alien | lkkeson | 23:25 |
| ubotu | lkkeson: 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) | 23:25 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, try loggin in | 23:25 |
| mikebot | ? | 23:25 |
| Slart | mikebot: I'm not sure.. shred might write stuff over the file repeatedly so it's harder to recover | 23:25 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56147/ | 23:25 |
| bAndie91 | bye | 23:25 |

| kbrooks | mikebot, i can give you my email so that you can contact me for more help iif you want | 23:26 |
| mysterycool | :o | 23:26 |
| mysterycool | it works! :> | 23:26 |
| Liono | while adding users. there a primary group and theres an secondary group options. what do secondary group option do? those are : audio, cdrom, dialout, floppy, lpadmin, plugdev, scanner, video | 23:26 |
| mysterycool | :D :D :) | 23:26 |
| mysterycool | tyrone and slart: thanks :D | 23:26 |
| mikebot | kbrooks: No, that's really all I needed. | 23:26 |
| MasterMel | Where can i find my trahs folder in ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| kbrooks | mikebot, ok bye | 23:26 |
| Slart | you're welcome, mysterycool | 23:26 |
| Silerx | yah mysterycool no biggie... | 23:26 |
| mikebot | Bye. | 23:26 |
| kbrooks | MasterMel, it's in ~/.Trash | 23:27 |
| Jordan | can i add a gui to the server edition? | 23:27 |
| Slart | MasterMel: all over the place.. there's one in your home folder.. and one on each drive I think... search for folders named .Trash | 23:27 |
| mysterycool | ;) | 23:27 |
| mysterycool | :D | 23:27 |
| kbrooks | Jordan, yes | 23:27 |
| Ikkeson | Because i only can find the RPM packages, where can i find info on compiling, because i found the sources, but i don't have a clue on what to do witi these sources. noob for life i guess | 23:27 |
| kbrooks | Jordan, it's fine to... | 23:27 |
| |unjustice| | Hi | 23:27 |
| Jordan | kbrooks: how? | 23:27 |
| kbrooks | Jordan, but servers dont NEED a gui | 23:27 |
| erUSUL | Liono: a user can be member of many groups e first one it enters is the primary one but there is no actual difference between primary and secondary | 23:27 |
| mysterycool | hey does anybody know if u gotta pay for a virtual machine? (just asking cuz i am searching it for something that i wanna do :p) | 23:27 |
| bAndie91 | Jordan: apt-get install x-window-system | 23:27 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, np ^^ you one the first guys i've helped i am a noob too but i am learning!! | 23:27 |
| kbrooks | Jordan, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 23:27 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: ok, and ls -al /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so | 23:28 |
| kbrooks | bAndie91, no... | 23:28 |
| Jordan | ok | 23:28 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, not really | 23:28 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, er i misunderstood | 23:28 |
| Jordan | i know they dont need it, but i dont know linux commands | 23:28 |
| bAndie91 | kbrooks: whats no? | 23:28 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, from VMware? | 23:28 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, no - a flat no | 23:28 |
| mysterycool | kbrooks: ? | 23:28 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: you may also have plugins installed in your home dir in ~/.mozilla - make sure this isn't so as they could override the default | 23:28 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, hmm... | 23:28 |
| Liono | erUSUL ok. and that will increase its privaliges? where can i know the privilages of each group? and what groups are sudoers? need details | 23:28 |
| Merkidemis | Why is it when I try to execute a .bin file in bash I get a -bash: ./whatever.bin: No such file or directory? I have done a chmod +x to it and have tried running it via sudo as well | 23:28 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, rephrase your question | 23:28 |
| mysterycool | so i can like get a free virtual machine and run another os on it and access it via my pc? and this is free? :s | 23:28 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: if everything looks ok we can try deleting your plugins data file then ff will rebuild it | 23:28 |
| bAndie91 | i 'd like to use infra port to send/receive files with my handphone | 23:29 |
| speeddemon8803 | Jordan, you do realize that eventually you will have to learn linux commands...even the GUI version has to dig into a CLI sometimes. | 23:29 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, you can't "get" a free VM | 23:29 |
| kbrooks | mysterycool, you have to "make" one ;-) | 23:29 |
| mysterycool | ..? | 23:29 |
| mysterycool | make..? | 23:29 |
| Jordan | speeddemon8803, i know | 23:29 |
| MagoonD | Hello | 23:29 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, yes the software for the virtual machine is not free unless it is linuz | 23:29 |

| mysterycool | tyrone: so it is basically in your own pc..? :p | 23:30 |
| tyrone | mysterycool, yeah | 23:31 |

| Merkidemis | pike: I am trying to run from my home directory, does that need to be +x too? | 23:33 |
| Slart | Scunizi: try "sudo chmod a+rw /media/edgy"... replace /media/edgy with the correct path | 23:33 |
| pike_ | Merkidemis: you are not in the correct directory. type ls to list contents of the dir then youll see Desktop so cd Desktop and ls again youll see the file and if you run chmod now itll work | 23:33 |

| pike_ | Merkidemis: now im getting pissed off :) try export PATH=$PATH:$(pwd);hldsupdatetool.bin i mean good god | 23:53 |
| |twiser| | so sorry | 23:53 |
| danh1 | Slart: I mean, I know it's on the repository, but I had no idea i could just apt-get the particular deb | 23:53 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, yes they did I select non to turn compiz off too | 23:53 |
| Merkidemis | astro: syntax error: "(" unexpected | 23:53 |
| |twiser| | how can fix that | 23:53 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: here is the ns7 directory http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56153/ | 23:53 |
| astro76 | Merkidemis: I think you need to open the .bin with a text editor and see what's up | 23:53 |

| mar77i | hi there. do you want to see something funny? I don't really know what that should... This is no fake: http://pastebin.ca/905724 | 23:54 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, .... hmmm... your hard drive light keep going or something? | 23:54 |
| johnny_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56154/ | 23:54 |
| astro76 | Merkidemis: pastebin it if you want | 23:54 |
| johnny_ | can someone tell me what the problem is | 23:54 |
| vladanian | pocketdrummer: and you can play an ogg in rb, just not by clicking on it? I have no idea why it's not working. | 23:54 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, no i dont think its a hardware or performance issue | 23:54 |
| Merkidemis | astro: well, its on the other computer and cygwin isn't letting me cut and paste from it | 23:54 |
| johnny_ | unknown user 'postfix' ? | 23:54 |
| MatBoy | how stable is gutsy ? | 23:55 |
| johnny_ | how do i fix that | 23:55 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, is your cpu maxed out? | 23:55 |
| Pici | mar77i: apt is not the name of the program you want. | 23:55 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, there has to be a file that stores the speed somewhere for mouse acceleration | 23:55 |
| pocketdrummer | vladanian: Yeah, I'm stumped too. | 23:55 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, not at all | 23:55 |
| Slart | danh1: no.. I mean.. download the deb using packages.ubuntu.com.. then install it using "sudo dpkg -i yourdebfilehere.deb" | 23:55 |
| Pici | mar77i: apt != apt-get | 23:55 |
| astro76 | Merkidemis: what's the first line? | 23:55 |
| mar77i | Pici: why is anyone thinking I need sun-java6 for that??? | 23:55 |
| johnny_ | i upgraded from dapper to edgy and now i cant install anything | 23:55 |
| Merkidemis | astro: lots of random ascii characters in the bin, though it starts with ^?ELF^A^A^A^@^@^@^@^@^@ | 23:55 |
| johnny_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56154/ | 23:55 |
| johnny_ | does anyone know how to fix this | 23:55 |
| MatBoy | is gutsy stable comparing to Feisty Fawn ? | 23:55 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: right, so let's try what we tried before - firstly delete firefox-javaplugin.so from /etc/alternatives | 23:55 |
| danh1 | Slart: I gotcha. I meant I didn't realiez you could downlaod from packages.ubuntu.com | 23:55 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, mouse acceleration? thats it? i thought you were referring to overall speed | 23:55 |
| sponger | gutsy is just fine | 23:55 |
| astro76 | Merkidemis: oh okay it is actually a binary | 23:55 |
| MatBoy | I mean, not buggy the whole time :) | 23:55 |
| MatBoy | sponger, ok :) thanks | 23:56 |
| rufus_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4338884 | 23:56 |
| rufus_ | maybe someone can help? | 23:56 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, no just mouse accelration sorry for the confusion | 23:56 |
| Merkidemis | astro: its the dedicated server stuff for Steam games, like TF2 | 23:56 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, heheh, sorry for makin you go through all that! one sec.. | 23:56 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: already deleted | 23:56 |
| mar77i | MatBoy: it works for me | 23:56 |
| _Oz_ | slart: I have updated info for you. Simply do an add/remove or run synaptic and search for "startup manager" and you can control all the usplash stuff from the GUI. | 23:56 |
| Merkidemis | astro: of course I can't get the UT3 bin to run either | 23:56 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, np I appreciate any help I can get | 23:56 |
| MatBoy | mar77i, in my Debian days, I was always running testing | 23:56 |
| pike_ | Merkidemis: youre sshing to it? i think youd like putty better as a windows client | 23:57 |
| Slart | _Oz_: ah.. that sounds nice.. I'll put that on my "to do"-list.. but now I'm off to bed.. good night | 23:57 |
| * MatBoy is upgrading now to Gutsy :) | 23:57 | |
| NigelS | elhoir_: then (making sure you're in /etc/alternatives) type ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so firefox-javaplugin.so | 23:57 |
| Pici | mar77i: Because thats where apt is. Its a java tool, it just happens to share a very similar name to apt-get. | 23:57 |
| cappiz | would 01206873333 be a free number to call in the UK? | 23:57 |
| Merkidemis | pike: yes I am | 23:57 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, did you try System > Preferences > Mouse under the motion tab? | 23:57 |
| Pici | !offtopic | cappiz | 23:57 |
| ubotu | cappiz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 23:57 |
| NigelS | cappiz: no, I don't believe so | 23:57 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: done | 23:58 |
| NigelS | cappiz: google the area code | 23:58 |
| Merkidemis | pike: cygwin was more useful in my various programming courses | 23:58 |
| Liono | here are groups by default that are sudoer groups. what are they | 23:58 |
| Liono | how can i know e.g admin is. and if iaim not wrong. plugdev is ,but where can i know that? may be i installed mythtv. and thats an suder too the group mythtv. so where can i know | 23:58 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: and was there an error this time? | 23:58 |
| Slart | danh1: you might have to force the install... check the man page for switches.. you'll end up with something like "sudo dpkg -i --force-dependencies yourdebhere.deb" | 23:58 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, yeah i set acceleration and sensitivity in Motion tab to their highest | 23:58 |
| Slart | danh1: because the hardy deb will probably depend on something that's not available in gutsy | 23:58 |
| danh1 | lovely | 23:58 |
| * Shadowfire is away: gnite.. | 23:58 | |
| Pici | !away > Shadowfire (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 23:59 |
| elhoir_ | NigelS: no, it has never shown an error | 23:59 |
| ch08r | If anyone is available , I am frustrated as hell... I have spent the last 3 days searching and trying to get my cdrom drive to work and cant get it to work, looked everywhere on line... anyone able to help me? | 23:59 |
| pike_ | Merkidemis: cygwin is great but the default shell kinda sucks for intance i normally install sshd on cygwin so i can use putty to ssh to my local machine i just like the shell better | 23:59 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: you said before that there was a no such file error | 23:59 |
| * pike_ shrugs | 23:59 | |
| astro76 | Liono: the only group that has to do with sudoers is admin, other groups typically use group permissions to control access | 23:59 |
