| elhoir_ | NigelS: oh, guy, thank you very much, you are my god now :-P | 00:03 |
| NigelS | elhoir_: it all should have just worked - but for some reason the symlink was pointing to the wrong version of java - possibly the firefox attempted install messed it up a bit | 00:03 |

| eekrano | MagoonD, no prob.... hey are you by any chance using the default theme gutsy came with? | 00:09 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, yes I am | 00:09 |
| ch08r | sponger: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56160/ | 00:10 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, can you recommend any cool themes? | 00:10 |
| NigelS | oreomike: switch to using nc as your client :) | 00:10 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, god no, I've been looking at all of them and dont like any- my themes got wiped out and i cant get them back- any way you could export that default oxygen theme and send it to me? | 00:10 |
| ch08r | sponger: that may of been the external (usb) cdrom drive i had in earlier ... | 00:11 |
| bluekb | I need to find a way to change my screen mode from about 800x600 to 1280x1060 (not sure exactly what value) -- even though no screen modes are defined in my xorg.conf. ppracer (tux racer) got hung, and I had to kill it--but it left X windows in an odd mode. I would just log out and back in, but I have some programs that need to keep running. | 00:11 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, yes how do I export it? | 00:11 |
| bluekb | (Hi, by the way) | 00:11 |
| sponger | ch08r: hold 1 | 00:11 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, System > Preferences > Emerald Theme Manager | 00:11 |
| MatBoy | does autoclean work really well ? so unused packages are always removed ? | 00:12 |
| NigelS | bluekb: can the resolution chooser in the prefs menu not do it? | 00:12 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, edit themes tab | 00:12 |
| eekrano | click export | 00:12 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, click export | 00:12 |
| bluekb | NigelS: how do I get to that menu? I am not familiar with it. | 00:12 |
| ch08r | sponger: yea , after looking at that entry... that is the external one. The attached one in my computer is a LG .. that output shows HP | 00:12 |
| MagoonD | eekrano i dont see emeral theme manager in system > prefs | 00:13 |
| bluekb | NigelS, I sometimes miss utilities for ubuntu since I use kde. | 00:13 |

| Joseph | Does anyone know an easy way to find the java virtual machine? | 00:13 |
| danbhfive | MatBoy: it actually deletes older installation packages | 00:13 |
| xybre | How can I get rid of big desktop when using dual displays and xgl/compiz? | 00:13 |
| danh1 | Slart: So, I tried to download the package, and you're right | 00:13 |
| danh1 | there were dependencies | 00:13 |
| danh1 | that gave me toruble | 00:13 |
| hfmls | guys i'm in livecd, trying tofix grub, because i've installed windows and now my laptop boots direct in windows. can you help me please? | 00:13 |
| danh1 | trouble | 00:13 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, nm i found it it was under appearance | 00:13 |
| danbhfive | hfmls: I can help | 00:13 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, ahh good | 00:14 |
| hfmls | danbhfive: thank you. | 00:14 |
| hfmls | what do i have to do? | 00:14 |
| danh1 | Slart: so now, I figure I need to using pinning or something | 00:14 |
| MatBoy | danbhfive, I'm still looking for a solution that removes unused packages also | 00:14 |
| === mateusz is now known as Usiu | ||
| danbhfive | !fixgrub | hfmls try these directions | 00:14 |
| ubotu | hfmls try these directions: 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 | 00:14 |
| NigelS | bluekb: if it's there it should be labelled something obvious like resolution chooser - I'm not familiar with the KDE menus atm | 00:14 |
| NigelS | bluekb: I'm sure KDE has some analog though | 00:14 |
| bluekb | Joseph, if you have slocate installed, you can run "locate -r '/java$'" | 00:14 |
| danbhfive | MatBoy: well, autoclean only removes old INSTALLATION files, it doesn't remove the packages themselves. If you want to remove packages, I would suggest playing with gtkorphan | 00:15 |
| NigelS | Joseph: when you say find it do you mean how to install it or where it has installed to? | 00:15 |
| mid5 | Hi, anyone know something like internet explorer works in ubuntu?, i want to see some pages that only works with ie :s, and I questioned me if there is a plugin or something like that | 00:15 |
| peleg | anyone is familiar with vsftpd ? | 00:15 |
| annonymouse | !kiba | 00:15 |
| danh1 | mid5: how about opera? | 00:15 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:15 |
| Joseph | NigelS: where it is installed to... I have this IDE that asks me each time it boots up where to find the Java Compiler | 00:15 |
| annonymouse | !kiba-dock | 00:16 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:16 |
| MatBoy | danbhfive, ok, thanks | 00:16 |
| danh1 | mid5: Or, why don't you create a virtual windows on ubuntu? | 00:16 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, i saved it but it didnt say what location it saved it to | 00:16 |
| annonymouse | does any onw know any think about kiba dock | 00:16 |
| KillaKowalsk | quick ? where can I get the kwidget header file? | 00:16 |
| danh1 | Use kvm or qemu | 00:16 |
| sponger | ch08r: what kind of interface? does the machine see it in the bios? | 00:16 |
| NigelS | mid5: you can use someting like http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page to install IE in linux | 00:16 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, default is usually desktop | 00:16 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, its not on the desktop is it saved under /usr/share/themes? | 00:17 |
| danbhfive | !IES4Linux | mid5 | 00:17 |
| ubotu | mid5: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine. Information can be found at http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page including instructions specifically for Ubuntu. ies4linux is aimed at web designers and ie-only sites, so please, don’t use any of the IEs to navigate! Use Firefox! | 00:17 |
| Shuggle | My login screen is always displayed in a differnt resolution than my regular desktop. can I fix this? | 00:17 |
| ch08r | sponger: damn... cant remember ... i know it shows up in the bios ... almost positive it is ide... if you want me to reboot and check i can | 00:17 |
| ch08r | sponger: i know it works in windows when i reboot | 00:17 |
| NigelS | Joseph: some useful commands - dpkg -l lists installed packages so you can type dpkg -l *java* and dpkg -L to list the files it installs | 00:17 |
| mid5 | danh1, mmm, it's good idea, i'll try whit it, but i think that if it does not work with super firefox, maybe does not work with opera | 00:17 |
| ch08r | sponger: <--- dual boot | 00:17 |
| bluekb | NigelS, well, my NVidia drivers came with a screen configuration utility. That solved it. | 00:17 |
| hfmls | danbhfive: is this ok? | 00:17 |
| hfmls | grub> root (hd0,0) | 00:17 |
| hfmls | grub> setup (hd0 | 00:17 |
| bluekb | Thanks. Why I didn't think to peruse the gui menus instead of look for a command line fix, I don't know. | 00:18 |
| mid5 | danh1, I have a virtual machine with windows | 00:18 |
| sponger | really? | 00:18 |
| Joseph | Thank you NigelS | 00:18 |
| danbhfive | hfmls: doesn't look too bad | 00:18 |
| mid5 | but i don't like | 00:18 |
| danbhfive | hfmls: you were missing a paranth at the end | 00:18 |
| NigelS | Joseph: if you go to synaptic and find a package then you can right click on it and get its properties and that will tell you where the files are | 00:18 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, did you click "save" or "export" ? | 00:18 |
| sponger | ch08r post yur entire dmesg out put. | 00:18 |
| hfmls | it says root hd0,1 in the page u gave me, but i think its 0.0 no? danbhfive yeah, bad paste. | 00:19 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, there was only option for save theres not option for export | 00:19 |
| NigelS | Joseph: i.e. dpkg -L sun-java6-jre | 00:19 |

| greenman | sdh: hey, I'm have the same problem on a gateway | 00:19 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, you saved that from the "Appearances preferences" ? | 00:19 |
| MagoonD | eekrano, yes | 00:19 |
| sdh | greenman: i can see the networks, it just won't connect to wpa or wpa2 | 00:19 |
| NigelS | bluekb: yeah, it's awkward atm - one day xorg will "just work" but until that day of porcine abetted international travel | 00:20 |
| danbhfive | hfmls: well, the first number corresponds to the number harddrive. So if you only have 1 harddrive, then 0 is correct. The second number corresponds to the partition that you installed ubuntu onto, so if you installed ubuntu onto the second partition, then 1 is correct | 00:20 |
| pablin30 | hello | 00:20 |
| eekrano | MagoonD, if you go to the visual effects tab in there is "custom" checked off? | 00:20 |

| ch08r | sponger: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56161/ | 00:23 |
| NigelS | box-: nope, you can find customised versions of linux designed for phones - i.e. Qtopia based etc | 00:23 |

| _Oz_ | That's the simplest fix... | 00:29 |

| Dr_willis | what was the name of that tool.. xpp or somthing | 01:15 |
| booh | Pelo, I have this laptop with windows on it. but the hard drive is dying/dead. I'm interested in installing Ubuntu, but the drivers I have, and the drivers on the support site don't support Linux. Only Windows OS's | 01:15 |
| Pelo | Schmao-Fmao, I recommend you use the alternate isntall cd ot install ubuntu | 01:15 |
| booh | will this cause a problem? | 01:15 |
| Odd-rationale | Schmao-Fmao: Mash the keyboard? | 01:15 |

| Pelo | booh, most driver are already in the kernel, so you won'T need extra drivers, to make sure there are no major issues with your laptop model I recommend you check in this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport and also lookup your laptop model in the forum | 01:16 |

| Dr_willis | ubuntufreak, normal has a live desktop. alternative is a text based installer only | 01:17 |

| hobbs | ubuntufreak: regular comes with the live system and live installer. alternate comes with the old text debian-installer system, but will work on a little machine :) | 01:17 |
| booh | but there will be no OS installed on it | 01:17 |
| Schmao-Fmao | Odd-rationale: I'm actually not sure which key combination does it, heh | 01:17 |
| Pelo | ubuntufreak, not different version of ubuntu , just different intaller cd, alt is txt based, no live desktop to try out firs | 01:17 |

| elm1 | help, hey peeps i need to kno how to view all mount points that have ever been created | 01:17 |
| elm1 | hm, no go wat happened was i had changed the mount point for one of my externals but there was an error in the mount point so now ubuntu is saying it can mount because of that error | 01:17 |
| booh | Thanks for the link | 01:17 |
| fsufitch | does anybody know how to add more voices to festival? i hate to see microsoft voice being able to do that and me not ;) | 01:18 |
| Schmao-Fmao | elm1, try /etc/fstab | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | Joseph, You have installed the build-essential package? | 01:18 |
| Pelo | booh, I understand, your original statement was just a bit akward | 01:18 |
| ubuntufreak | Pelo,hobbs,Dr_willis: Thanks for the info | 01:18 |
| pr0nGuy | Dr_willis: It's proprietary software called Powerpoint found in M$ Office. It's most popular equivalent in open source would be Open Office Presentation which has the file format .odp. | 01:18 |
| hobbs | Schmao-Fmao: I'm guessing that it has nothing to do with what keys you press, and it's just getting the keyboard interrupts that's making things move along. Happens sometimes when there are IRQ routing problems | 01:18 |
| Joseph | Dr_Willis: I do not believe so | 01:18 |
| elm1 | that gives me all the mount points for drives currently mounted | 01:19 |
| Schmao-Fmao | hobbs: Are there flags I can turn on for the Ubuntu Live bootup to be more verbose? | 01:19 |
| elm1 | but not the ones i cant mount | 01:19 |
| ch08r | is there anyone in this channel who knows alot about ubuntu i am having a problem with my cd drive... was talking with sponger and he didnt know... please only experts reply | 01:19 |
| hobbs | Schmao-Fmao: you might try booting your system with various workaround kernel flags like noapic and pci=noapci | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | Joseph, well thats step 1 then. you dont even have a full compuler installed without it | 01:19 |
| Schmao-Fmao | hobbs: I've tried that already | 01:19 |
| bruenig | ch08r: there are no experts on #ubuntu | 01:19 |
| Pelo | Schmao-Fmao, if you are using the dvd instead of the cd you also have the alternate texte based installer on there that you can use | 01:19 |
| ch08r | bruenig: as i can tell.... | 01:19 |
| Joseph | !build-essential package | 01:20 |
| Schmao-Fmao | Pelo: I'm not trying to install ubuntu :) I just need to use the live OS | 01:20 |
| Pelo | Schmao-Fmao, carry on then | 01:20 |
| icesword | ch08r, just ask, if someone knows,he will answer | 01:20 |
| Schmao-Fmao | I have a prebuilt disk image, which I plan to copy directly to the hard drive using netcat | 01:20 |
| Dr_willis | Joseph, 'build-essential' is the package name | 01:20 |
| Schmao-Fmao | The live OS is just a bootstrap step | 01:20 |
| elm1 | guys any word, i need to FIX a MOUNT POINT for an external | 01:20 |
| Schmao-Fmao | elm1, I'm not sure, try the "umount" command on the device, e.g. umount /dev/sdb1 | 01:21 |
| deniz__ | <deniz_> how do i "a small edit in /etc/sysctl.conf"? | 01:21 |
| deniz__ | <deniz_> in other words add two lines | 01:21 |
| deniz__ | <deniz_> im trying to add the following lines: | 01:21 |
| deniz__ | <deniz_> net.ipv4.conf.default.forwarding=1 | 01:21 |
| deniz__ | <deniz_> net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding=1 | 01:21 |
| ch08r | I am pretty sure this is a known bug... but i may be wrong... my cdrom returns when i try ti mount it " mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist " | 01:21 |
| elm1 | its not recognizing so i dont kno the path for it | 01:21 |
| Dr_willis | deniz_, use a text editor on that file. | 01:22 |
| Pelo | elm1, try lsusb and blkid in the terminal | 01:22 |
| riba1 | ok, back from printer install | 01:22 |
| Schmao-Fmao | ch08r, is it in your /dev folder? | 01:22 |
| hobbs | anyway, in case anyone cares to attempt being useful, the issue I have is a "disagrees about symbol" conflict between two modules Ubuntu ships (specifically cx88_alsa from hardy linux-image-2.6.24-8-generic and snd-pcm from hardy linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-8-generic but it doesn't appear to be a hardy problem so much as a build problem) | 01:22 |
| riba1 | just in case somebody like me needs to install the brother printer mfc | 01:22 |
| deniz__ | Dr_willis, wat would i type in terminal...isnt it a gedit thing? | 01:22 |
| riba1 | install lpr driver then install the cups wrapper like the brother site sasy | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | deniz_, theres dozens of editors you can use.. 'sudo nano /path/to/whatever' is one way | 01:22 |
| elm1 | no joy gives me my ntfs, ext and swap | 01:22 |
| ch08r | Schmao-Fmao: nope | 01:22 |

| Joseph | Dr_willis: I tried and it worked without problems, but I did not see anything... I will try to figure this out | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | sp219, Somthing seemed odd about the way you prased that.. X starts a X server.. Unless of course you are using vnc. | 01:26 |
| Schmao-Fmao | also some motherboards don't work with IDE optical drives | 01:26 |

| ch08r | Schmao-Fmao: are you using a live-disc? or is that your install? | 01:34 |
| danbhfive | sp219: try sudo pkill | 01:34 |
| Odd-rationale | deniz__: Yes. But a computer can be its own host and client at the same time | 01:34 |
| Schmao-Fmao | ch08r: It's a live disc, I'm serving it over NFS | 01:34 |
| Starnestommy | sp219: remember the ` (backtick) symbols | 01:34 |
| deniz__ | Odd-rationale, but im talking bout routing an internet connection so the client would be the receiver, right? | 01:35 |
| ch08r | Schmao-Fmao: what are you specs? specfically the GPU | 01:35 |
| sp219 | Starnestommy: yeah, i did that. I tried pidof Xorg alone, and nothing was returned -- which probably explains it. anyway, i did what danbhfive suggested (sudo pkill Xorg) and i think it worked | 01:35 |
| nohla | question: how can i show my country in my IRC info. (I know, I am a dumb girl who cant speak in English very well, but i need a little help :) | 01:35 |

| Schmao-Fmao | (on the motherboard) | 01:36 |
| deniz__ | Odd-rationale, so if it tells me to type commands on the client, that would mean the receiving comp, right? i just want to no so that i dont type them on this comp | 01:36 |
| sp219 | If you figured out how to get on IRC, you aren't a dummy ;) | 01:36 |
| ch08r | Schmao-Fmao: are you looking to install or to run the live version? | 01:36 |
| Schmao-Fmao | ch08r: I should note that I get the same problem when booting up a virtual machine - suggesting that it isn't a hardware issue | 01:36 |
| elm1 | nohla: definetely | 01:36 |
| Schmao-Fmao | I want to run the live version over the network | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | sp219, each user CAN have a .xinitrc file in their home dir. If its there then 'startx' runs whats in that file. Not the system wide defaults | 01:36 |
| Odd-rationale | deniz__: Yes. | 01:37 |
| deniz__ | Odd-rationale, k, thx | 01:37 |
| ch08r | Schmao-Fmao: is that a virtual machine ran off the same machine? | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | sp219, example .xinitrc file (2 lines) xterm & exec gnome-session | 01:37 |
| barnaby | Hey all. I cannot log into ubuntu, it says home directory is out of room. Help! | 01:38 |
| hobbs | elm1: nevermind, that doesn't quite make sense. udev doesn't handle mounts. It could be hal but I'm less sure on that. | 01:38 |

| barnaby | just gutsy | 01:38 |
| Schmao-Fmao | ch08r: yes, but the virtual machine doesn't always have the same hardware. I'm positive that the network card is different for the virtual machine and the actual one | 01:38 |

| nohla | elml its an easy question, i thought you could help me. thats all | 01:39 |
| elm1 | i had set a mount point, but apparentli there was an erro in that point | 01:39 |
| hobbs | elm1: but _what_ prints the error? :) | 01:39 |
| lyte | barnaby: df -h will tell you which partition is full, one of your partitions _is_ full | 01:39 |
| barnaby | ok lyte then what | 01:39 |
| elm1 | doesnt sat just say CANNOT MOUT VOLUME | 01:40 |

| Pelo | elm1, so the device is not getting mounted, so you don't need to delete any mount point, we just need to figure out why it is not mounting | 01:45 |

| mneptok | Mrdiaz: Quanta is a dead project, AFAIK | 02:02 |
| hobbs | |twiser|: did you edit sources.list by hand? | 02:03 |
| Odd-rationale | Mrdiaz: Try NVU or quanta web | 02:03 |
| |twiser| | hobbs im noob, 1st time using ubuntu is today | 02:03 |
| Mrdiaz | dead project? wow its been a while | 02:03 |
| mneptok | Odd-rationale: Nvu is definitely dead | 02:03 |

| hobbs | |twiser|: probably it just needs a quote or two removed. | 02:04 |
| mneptok | afkk: installation, or download? | 02:04 |
| emet | mneptok, there is a way to regenerate sources.list online, I forgotr how though | 02:04 |

| pteague | deniz__> domain name server? | 02:05 |
| hobbs | afkk: first see if "dpkg --configure -a" will let you pick up where you were. Assuming that works, you can either finish installing or uninstall the package after. | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | pteague, but i rarely even access the swap these days. I tend to just put 512mb of swap on the end of each HD i got. :) | 02:05 |
| high-freq | thx guys for info | 02:05 |
| Dr_willis | pteague, that way if i ever move a hd out. and use it in a box with a live cd. or whatever. I got a swap partition ready | 02:05 |
| mneptok | afkk: "sudo apt-get -f install" too | 02:05 |

| mahmoud2 | Kargarian, deniz__ : modern switches works with crossover between switch to pc | 02:27 |

| mjw- | pteague master on the end | 02:27 |
| hobbs | pteague: theoretically, the middle. | 02:27 |
| Kargarian | yeah modern, how modern is Deniz talking about | 02:27 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, so i put crossover from host to router, and ethernet from router to client? | 02:27 |
| mjw- | or the middle :) | 02:27 |
| DIL | what software will allow to log and record phone messages (answering service) | 02:28 |
| lpbt | the mode is the group yes? | 02:28 |
| mahmoud2 | lpbt: do not use the -R unless you want all the content of the directory to have the same permission | 02:28 |
| pteague | k, thanks mjw- & hobbs | 02:28 |
| deniz__ | wait wat exactly is a switch, r we talkin bout my router? | 02:28 |
| hobbs | pteague: it doesn't realy matter actually if you have two disks on the cable, but if you have only one then it should be at the end of the cable, and if you use cable select, the drive at the end will be assigned master. | 02:28 |
| Kargarian | how is your network setup? | 02:28 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : who's the host and who's the client? | 02:28 |
| lpbt | how do i change group permissons? | 02:28 |
| Kargarian | it should go internet, to router, to switch to pc, if you even have a switch | 02:29 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, the comp im using now is host and client is my laptop | 02:29 |
| mahmoud2 | lpbt chgrp | 02:29 |

| osotogari | hi all, how come if i plug in my usb sata external hard drive I become the owner, but if I plug in my other 500 gig external drive root is the owner? | 02:31 |
| mphill | g is for group, you can also check out man chmod | 02:31 |
| Starnestommy | lpbt: no, it's a literal g+r with no replacements, i think | 02:31 |
| mphill | +r for read +w for write and +x for execute | 02:31 |
| mahmoud2 | lpbt: and if you want combination it should look like: g+rw for read and write | 02:32 |
| mphill | you could do chmod u+x fileName which would set a file to executable | 02:32 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, its a d-link router (DI-604 Broadband Router) | 02:32 |

| mphill | hacksign_: ./configure --PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/path/to/library | 02:35 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, k, well i think both r normal ones | 02:35 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : but now switches notice if the cable is crossover and configure it self .. | 02:35 |
| Kargarian | yeah | 02:35 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, wats a switch? | 02:35 |
| hobbs | anything that supports gigabit is always auto-MDIX, which is handy | 02:36 |
| osotogari | hi all, how come if i plug in my usb sata external hard drive I become the owner, but if I plug in my other 500 gig external drive root is the owner? | 02:36 |
| hacksign_ | mphill,and what's the library ? /etc/lib/?or my awn file floder ? | 02:36 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__: your router has a built-in 4-port switch (the ethernet ports) | 02:36 |
| mphill | hacksign_: msg more more compiler errors, i need more info | 02:36 |
| mneptok | biggie: are you usinf fstab to mount this drive? | 02:36 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, i guess it shows that im an idiot with networking :( | 02:36 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | I have probelm with "Device-mapper errors: dm-linear, lookup failed", ubuntu forums suggest to remove the emvs package, unfortunately apt-get cannot remove it because of lock (under safe mode either), how to get rid of that thing? | 02:36 |
| mneptok | biggie: using* | 02:36 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, k, i no that tho | 02:36 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, the 4 port part | 02:37 |
| hobbs | zxcvmzxcvm: you are trying to remove it as root, yes? | 02:37 |
| hacksign_ | mphill,http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?t=105198 | 02:37 |
| prettyricky | can someone direct me on how to set up my toshiba satellite tablet laptop | 02:37 |
| biggie | no, it auto mounts when I boot - it is working now - i rebooted and now i can create folders and delete files...thanks | 02:37 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | hobbs, thorugh sudo apt-get remove | 02:37 |
| mneptok | biggie: cool | 02:37 |
| hobbs | zxcvmzxcvm: right, are you doing it as root? | 02:38 |
| prettyricky | tablet not working with ubuntu 7.10 | 02:38 |
| blag | what is going on with grep? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56176/ | 02:38 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | hobbs, I'm not sure, how can i check? | 02:38 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, do u have msn messenger? | 02:38 |
| hobbs | zxcvmzxcvm: in that case, do this: "sudo apt-get remove evms" | 02:38 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, or windows live messenger as its now called | 02:38 |
| blag | prettyricky: have you uncommented the lines in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? | 02:38 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | hobbs, thanks | 02:39 |
| DIL | osotogari: checked your fstab? | 02:39 |
| prettyricky | how do I do that? Stuck there | 02:39 |
| prettyricky | please help blag | 02:39 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : you can post your questions here so more people can help you .. what are you trying to do? | 02:39 |
| mphill | hacksign_: just goto to the getdebs website and get the debian packages | 02:39 |
| osotogari | @ DIL: Can you take a look at it for me? | 02:40 |
| blag | prettyricky: I will help you as much as I can... So, Ubuntu loads, though, right? You can use a keyboard and everything? | 02:40 |
| ares-mars | hey guys, i just connected my USB wireless thing and when i type ifconfig i get, eth0, eth1, eth0:avah, lo, wlan0...why do i get two eth0? and what's with the "avah", which seems to be where the USB works trough since it has the IP. and if i want to tell driftnet to capture on the usb, what do i type, eth0 or eth0:avah? | 02:40 |
| prettyricky | oh yes it works like a champ | 02:40 |
| mahmoud2 | Kargarian: a crossover from a switch (or router w/switch) to a pc should work .. this feature has been there for years (5+) | 02:40 |
| prettyricky | i love this | 02:40 |
| hacksign_ | mphill,i did ,but there r some display error on my system:( | 02:40 |

| prettyricky | just cant seem to get tablet to work | 02:40 |
| prettyricky | thanks blag | 02:41 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, my whole goal is to share my internet oviously with the laptop, im connected thru ppp0 apparently (since its dial-up) and im trying to export it to the laptop and im using only ethernet wires (i dint check what they r but i believe thats wat they r bcuz i looked at one and the colors were placed differently from my crossover cable) | 02:41 |
| ares-mars | hey guys, i just connected my USB wireless thing and when i type ifconfig i get, eth0, eth1, eth0:avah, lo, wlan0...why do i get two eth0? and what's with the "avah", which seems to be where the USB works trough since it has the IP. and if i want to tell driftnet to capture on the usb, what do i type, eth0 or eth0:avah? | 02:41 |
| blag | prettyricky: Go to Applications > Accessories > Text Editor and open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:41 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, my crossover cable is not in this scenario, i just have 1 in the house...im saying this to clear confusion | 02:41 |
| mjw- | blag he's going to need to use gksudo | 02:41 |
| blag | mjw: good catch, thanks | 02:42 |
| blag | mjw: can't wait for policykit | 02:42 |
| hobbs | ares-mars: the one showing with ':avah' is an alias interface with an avahi-configured zeroconf IP address. | 02:42 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : you want to share your Internet connection from your PC to the rest of the network ? so the router is not connection source? | 02:42 |
| hobbs | ares-mars: if the other one doesn't show as up and having an address, then you probably don't have your network configured right. | 02:42 |
| blag | prettyricky: nevermind. Go to Applications > Accessories > Terminal | 02:42 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, ya | 02:42 |
| osotogari | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56177/ | 02:42 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, well | 02:43 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | can anybody tell me, why gnuchess is incompatible with gnome and gnome-desktop-environment? | 02:43 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, wait, the laptop needs to get internet from router | 02:43 |
| blag | prettyricky: and type in "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf" without the quotes. then type in your password | 02:43 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, laptop=host | 02:43 |
| prettyricky | ok | 02:44 |
| revilodraw | hi! exaile plays my music at about 50% volume, even when everything is turned up. it is the only program that does this. playing the files in vlc it will play at full volume | 02:44 |
| ares-mars | hobbs, for some reason eth1 always gives me 10.59.1.8, i don't konw why. Internet comes through eth0:avah only. what is avahi-configured and zeroconf ip address and how do i configure it right? | 02:44 |
| blag | prettyricky: did it open up a text editor with a file already loaded? | 02:44 |
| hobbs | zxcvmzxcvm: gnome-games has a conflicts with it, maybe it installs its own chess game with some of the same files as gnuchess. | 02:44 |
| mahmoud2 | beniz__ : did you connect both the pc and laptop to the router ? they should both have net connection without problems if the router is properly .. | 02:45 |
| hobbs | zxcvmzxcvm: and nobody arranged things so that they can live together. | 02:45 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | hobbs, oic, strangely enough on my x86_64 they coexist | 02:45 |
| Yanch0 | have a bit of a problem .. have 1.6Gb free data - and am trying to create a table which is the result of a union of a table with itself which is 26 Mb .. how come it stopped saying Out of Disk SpacE? :S - DBMS : Postgresql | 02:45 |
| mjw- | Yanch0 what is the total size of the partition with 1.6G free? | 02:46 |
| prettyricky | it opened but there is no file there | 02:46 |
| prettyricky | its blank | 02:46 |
| Yanch0 | mjw- /dev/hda7 11G 8.9G 1.3G 88% / | 02:46 |
| blag | prettyricky: okay, open the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:46 |
| prettyricky | where do I do that sorry nebie | 02:47 |
| prettyricky | sorry | 02:47 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, i dont need drivers for router, right? cuz it comes with one for windows | 02:47 |
| hobbs | zxcvmzxcvm: on closer inspection, it looks like the latest version (in hardy at least, don't know about others) removes the conflict. | 02:47 |
| sui | whats up hommies | 02:47 |
| prettyricky | thanks blag I really appreciate this! | 02:47 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, well it coems with a cd, i dint rely check its contents but it shouldnt be something other than a driver.. | 02:47 |
| zxcvmzxcvm | hobbs, will have in mind, I'm currently on GG | 02:48 |
| prettyricky | where do I open that file from> | 02:48 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__: routers does not need drivers .. the CD content is probably the configuration software and documents .. | 02:48 |
| blag | prettyricky: np, so, click "Open", then click the "File System" bookmark on the left, then on the rightish, doubleclick etc, doubleclick X11, and doubleclick xorg.conf | 02:48 |
| mjw- | Yanch0 that's odd, that should be ok. automatically some space is reserved for root so as to avoid an intractable drive space crunch, but not that much | 02:48 |
| ares-mars | hobbs, actually the internet IS coming though eth1, my bad | 02:48 |
| prettyricky | ok w1 | 02:48 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : and the configuration can be set from the web (http) .. no need for the configuration software if there is one | 02:48 |
| hobbs | ares-mars: then you probably want to capture on that interface. Not sure it would actually make a difference though :) | 02:49 |
| Yanch0 | mjw- the creation of the table stopped :\ | 02:49 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, k, well can u help me bcuz i rely rely need internet on that other comp (laptop)...once again im sry im stupid with networking...im not stupid in other comp areas | 02:49 |
| mjw- | Yanch0 not knowing anything about databases, really, is it possible the table is much bigger than you anticipated? | 02:50 |
| blag | prettyricky: when the file opens, scroll to the bottom, you should see a line like: # Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet | 02:50 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : when you connect the laptop to the router, you do not get a connection ? | 02:50 |
| craigbass1976 | Anyone know why I can only connect to my new wireless router using wireshark rather than /etc/init.d/networking restart command? | 02:50 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, ya it says it has found one and i try to go to google.ca on firefox and it doesnt go | 02:51 |
| Yanch0 | mjw- not sure on that .. but the .sql file is 26mb | 02:51 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__: is that laptop running ubuntu ? | 02:51 |
| blag | prettyricky: let me know when your there by saying my name in the irc channel | 02:51 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, ubuntu 7.04 but the desktop has 7.10 | 02:51 |
| Catachan | Could anyone perhaps help me figure out why my audio has completely died? | 02:51 |

| prettyricky | blag | 02:52 |
| prettyricky | there | 02:52 |
| prettyricky | i do see that comment | 02:52 |
| krammer | how can I find pcap.h file??? | 02:52 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__: did you change any of your network settings on the laptop? IP settings ..etc? | 02:52 |
| deniz__ | initially no, then ya, then back to normal, nothing worked | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | well | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | not ip | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | all i did is go from dhcp to static | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | well attempt to | 02:53 |
| Yanch0 | This is the error : ERROR: could not write block 163578 of temporary file: No space left on device | 02:53 |
| deniz__ | but i had no ips and stuff to put well now that i think of it its 192.168.0.1 | 02:53 |
| blag | okay, now under that you should see three lines that are preceded with a pound (#) sign. Remove the pound signs from those three lines, so it should look like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56178/ | 02:54 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ from the terminal ping 208.67.222.222 | 02:54 |
| mjw- | Yanch0 hrm, do you have a separate /tmp? maybe it's running out of space there | 02:54 |
| lilg111111_ | is it possible to make a regular yahoo email account work with evolution | 02:54 |
| deniz__ | i type "ping 208.67.222.222"? on which comp? | 02:54 |
| blag | prettyricky: make sure to *keep* the pound sign on the "# Uncomment if you have a wacom tablet" line | 02:54 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : go back to DHCP and do: sudo /etc/int.d/networking restart | 02:54 |
| prettyricky | ok i did the uncomment and i kept the # sign on the uncomment line | 02:55 |
| craigbass1976 | Hmmm. I had to go in and manually edit /etc/network/interfaces. My essid from the old router (everyone, please avoid the cheaper dlinks...) was in there. Wonder why. | 02:55 |
| deniz__ | mahmoud2, isnt it init .d? | 02:55 |
| krammer | lilg1111: I would see why not I configured gmail for evolution | 02:55 |
| prettyricky | ready for more directions | 02:55 |
| Yanch0 | mjw- this is df -h : http://yancho.pastebin.com/d5d02d589 | 02:55 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz__ : yes /etc/init.d/networking restart | 02:55 |
| blag | prettyricky: now simply save the file, hit ctrl+alt+backspace, the screen will go dark, and you will have to login again, but the tablet should now work. | 02:56 |
| prettyricky | ok thanks blag/ hopefully it does. | 02:56 |
| krammer | how can I find pcap.h file??? | 02:57 |
| lilg111111_ | krammer, thanx | 02:57 |
| Kargarian | has anyone ever heard being able to use two sound cards at once. So you can use both inputs from each sound card? | 02:57 |
| lilg111111_ | can anybody help me install kibba dock | 02:57 |
| wers | I want to set my music player shortcut keys with the win key. what should I do to the win key? map super to it? map hyper to it? map meta to it? :) | 02:57 |
| craigbass1976 | Kargarian, I suppose it's possible, but you're better off getting a multi-in card | 02:57 |
| hobbs | wers: some of the above! | 02:58 |
| wers | hobbs, any? | 02:58 |
| craigbass1976 | wers, mine minimizes all windows | 02:58 |
| Khisanth | krammer: apt-file search /pcap.h | 02:58 |
| hobbs | wers: I think Super is normal these days. | 02:58 |
| wers | i tried all but none worked | 02:58 |
| Kargarian | Thanks Craigbass1976, i just though since I have two spare sound cards around, it just might be possible | 02:58 |
| wers | or I think, I should restart x | 02:58 |
| wers | craigbass1976, which minimizes? | 02:58 |
| Khisanth | krammer: it''s in libpcap0.7-dev and libpcap0.8-dev | 02:58 |
| craigbass1976 | Kargarian, there's a linux audio project somewhere online-- check them out. And ardour, if you want to multitrack, seems very cool | 02:58 |
| craigbass1976 | wers, the window key. | 02:59 |
| mjw- | Yanch0 i'm a bit confused why 11 is supposed to = 8.9 + 1.3, but maybe you're just running up into what's reserved for root? dunno why else you'd be getting that error | 02:59 |
| Kargarian | Ardour is the open source project? | 02:59 |
| craigbass1976 | Kargarian, I have a regular studio (big mixer with reel to reel and a mackie hdr) and we're moving to ubuntu with ardour | 02:59 |
| revilodraw | hi! exaile plays my music at about 50% volume, even when everything is turned up. it is the only program that does this. playing the files in vlc it will play at full volume | 02:59 |
| Kargarian | Thanks I will chekc out Ardour | 03:00 |
| craigbass1976 | Kargarian, Yes. I believe it's in the repos | 03:00 |
| krammer | apt-get install?? | 03:00 |
| hobbs | Kargarian: ALSA plugins would allow you to combine the PCMs into one big hairy multichannel device, but I'm not sure how useful it would really be | 03:00 |

| EnderTheThird | This thing has a 2GHz P4 with 768MB RAM, and it just doesn't seem to run very well at all. | 03:11 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird run ubuntu well? or just in general? | 03:11 |
| steves125 | can anyone tell me how to get my mp3 player to mount so i can drag and drop music? | 03:12 |

| musicjock58 | i found that if you reboot with your mp3 connected, it will mount automatically. at least in feisty | 03:13 |
| steves125 | it doesn't show up on the desktop. I ran lsusb and it lists it though | 03:13 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: i know i *could* run xfce with it, but I really shouldn't have to with a 2GHz CPU. The only thing I can think of is that the integrated video just blows and is taxing the CPU more than it needs to. | 03:13 |
| steves125 | I tried rebooting with it in also. didn't work. thanks though | 03:13 |

| mjw- | I love ubuntu gusty. it blows :D | 03:14 |
| musicjock58 | oh | 03:14 |
| musicjock58 | i dont know about gutsy | 03:14 |
| mjw- | steves125 gutsy automounts USB drives, etc., at least all the ones I've tried | 03:14 |
| musicjock58 | i had problems with gutsy. things broken all over. reverted to fiesty. everything fine now | 03:15 |
| bluefoxx | is there a way i can make streamripper rip wma audio? | 03:15 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird is it using the intel driver? | 03:15 |
| EnderTheThird | only time i've had trouble with automount in Gutsy was when plugging into USB hubs, occasionally it would be a stubborn prick | 03:15 |
| steves125 | mjw it automounts my flash drives fine but not the mp3 | 03:15 |
| mjw- | steves125 it's not an ipod is it? | 03:15 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: yeah | 03:15 |
| musicjock58 | no | 03:15 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, that terminal command with the networking restart...do i do it on my laptop or desktop | 03:15 |
| steves125 | nope samsung T10 | 03:15 |
| musicjock58 | ive tried that. its not an ipod | 03:15 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird that's peculiar. the GX260's had, what, the i850? That should blow through 2D with ease. | 03:16 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_ : laptop | 03:16 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_ : make sure its on Roaming/DHCP | 03:16 |
| musicjock58 | have you tried mounting it ,say in something like amorak or something like that? | 03:16 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, k, so thats not the problem then... | 03:16 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, on which comp? | 03:16 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, neither r on roaming | 03:16 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_: the one having the problem | 03:16 |
| mjw- | mjw- even compiz ought to work | 03:16 |
| _river | I have a TP-Link 108mm wireless card and router working, but seems to run in maximum 54mb not 108mb, is there some setting in madwifi to get it to run at maximum speed ? | 03:17 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, k, brb | 03:17 |
| bluefoxx | how can i make streamripper rip windows media audio? | 03:17 |
| steves125 | yeah. amorak won't see it. I got rhythymbox to see it though its far from perfect | 03:17 |
| musicjock58 | i see | 03:17 |
| steves125 | ends up crashing rhythmbox | 03:17 |
| Safiyyah2 | hi all | 03:17 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird what does lspci | grep -i vga return? | 03:18 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: i845, i think | 03:18 |
| musicjock58 | all i can say my friend is that i had too many problems in gutsy for me to keep it. i reverted to fiesty. and wont upgrade until the official release of hardy is out for a couple 3 months | 03:18 |
| prettyricky | can i install automatix2 on ubuntu 7.10 | 03:18 |
| _river | 'iwlist scan' show bitrates from 1 - 54mb how do I enable my maximum 108mb | 03:18 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 01) | 03:18 |
| Jouva | Hey folks, I'd like to know two things about Evolution: 1) How do I get the filters to automatically run after mail is received 2) How can I get the subfolders of inbox to appear next to Inbox instead of as below Inbox (like how you enter the name of your inbox in the "IMAP server directory" in Thunderbird) | 03:18 |
| prettyricky | and is it worth installing? | 03:19 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird that is odd. that should work quite well, really. | 03:19 |
| compwiz18 | !automatix | prettyricky | 03:19 |
| ubotu | prettyricky: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 03:19 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, i made laptop roaming mode and still not working :( | 03:19 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_: restart the networking | 03:19 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird what kind of stats do you get from glxgears ? | 03:19 |
| steves125 | musicjock thanks I appreciate the effort | 03:19 |
| musicjock58 | i have had no problems with automatix2 for fiesty . it works fine in my box | 03:19 |
| Safiyyah2 | I loaded xfce4 and changed the screen resolution within xfce4, everything was fine until I logged out of the session, now x server doesnt load, it says due to an internal error so the gnone gdm won't load so I can only use ubuntu in failsafe mode, | 03:19 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, same command again? | 03:19 |
| mjw- | !worksforme | musicjock58 | 03:19 |
| ubotu | musicjock58: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 03:19 |
| musicjock58 | im just sorry that i havent been much of help | 03:20 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: ~410 fps | 03:20 |
| Safiyyah2 | I have tries to install the xorg-fglrx but wont work | 03:20 |
| Safiyyah2 | tried start x.... I get a mish mash pixel mess cant see anything | 03:20 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: make that 200-400 | 03:20 |
| UncleChevitz | i'm really new to ubuntu and for some reason I have Java 1.4, 5 and 6 installed, should I remove the older versions? | 03:20 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_: yes and then: ifconfig eth0 , what inet addr do you get? | 03:20 |
| deniz_ | by eth0 u mean ppp0? | 03:21 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird that's kind of low? But still 2D should be ok | 03:21 |
| musicjock58 | im actually trying to get some help with timevault. anyone know what that is? i cant get into preferences anymore | 03:21 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_ : No .. eth0 | 03:22 |
| deniz_ | im connected to internet thru dial-up tho not high speed.. | 03:22 |
| _river | does anyone know how to get madwifi to run my tp-link card @ 108mb ? currently only runs with 54mb | 03:22 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: yeah, it varies quite a bit. overall the whole thing is just sluggish though. even terminal windows take a while to appear and populate | 03:22 |
| bluefoxx | how can i make streamripper rip WMAaudio? | 03:22 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, k, well nutn works | 03:23 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird have you poked around the BIOS at all? maybe some setting got changed (like CPU cache turned off... :P ) | 03:23 |
| Safiyyah2 | I loaded xfce4 and changed the screen resolution within xfce4, everything was fine until I logged out of the session, now x server doesnt load, it says due to an internal error so the gnone gdm won't load so I can only use ubuntu in failsafe mode, I have tried to install the xorg-fglrx but wont work, I also tried start x and that gives me a mish mash of pixels can't see anything. Ubuntu... | 03:23 |
| Safiyyah2 | ...still boots fine from the live CD(tried that too) I dont mind reinstalling Ubuntu but there is now some important data on it, so please help me either fix x server or get my data out and reinstall :) | 03:23 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: i toyed with AGP aperature and some others, but no difference | 03:23 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, the network restart thing gives "failed to bring up wlan0" and the ifconfig ppp0 and eth0 both give the same result: "error fetching interface information: device not found" | 03:24 |
| musicjock58 | bluefoxx have you tried something like k3b or something like that? why streamripper? | 03:24 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird have you tried the vesa driver? Is it equally or even more sluggish? | 03:24 |
| EnderTheThird | let me check | 03:25 |
| EnderTheThird | i'm going to poke around bios too, be back in a min | 03:25 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird I actually am on a computer right now that gets ~400FPS in glxgears and even compiz is ok. Maybe you've got a slow or dying HD? | 03:25 |
| UncleChevitz | i'm really new to ubuntu and for some reason I have Java 1.4, 5 and 6 installed, should I remove the older versions? | 03:25 |
| bluefoxx | musicjock58, cause i figured it out the easiest, and all the armin van buuren ASOT files i found said they were ripped with it, so i went with it first | 03:26 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_ : if eth0 is not found, then your laptop Ethernet is not working properly / not detected .. | 03:26 |
| reportingsjr | What is the bash command to regenerate my ld.so.cache? | 03:26 |
| musicjock58 | ok, no problem . just wanting to know. i dont know how to work with streamripper, but have used k3b. works nicely | 03:27 |
| wers | whenever i increase the volume using multimedia keys while rhythmbox is the active window, metacity hangs. any idea? | 03:27 |
| reportingsjr | Anyone know how to regenerate ld.so.cache? I know for gentoo it is env-update. | 03:27 |
| musicjock58 | even with gnome, works good | 03:27 |
| prettyricky | so dont install automatix2 | 03:28 |
| prettyricky | ? | 03:28 |
| toresn | is centericq and centerim the same? | 03:28 |
| toresn | is=are | 03:28 |
| musicjock58 | prettyricky, i have fiesty, and automatix2 has not given me any problems. but use it at your own risk. | 03:28 |
| prettyricky | i have gutsy | 03:29 |
| deniz_ | mahmoud2, its not defective so it must be not detected...doesnt wired connections have super good reputation of being detected in ubuntu? and btw laptop said that it got connected to desktop doesnt mean that the ethernet port works?? | 03:29 |

| deniz_ | mahmoud2, how do u make that line between lspci and grep? | 03:30 |
| mjw- | deniz_ it's a pipe, probably above your enter key | 03:30 |
| prettyricky | what does anyone recommed for new apps. what are the best applications | 03:31 |
| mjw- | prettyricky go to Applications > Add/Remove. By default you'll see the most recommended ones | 03:31 |
| mahmoud2 | deniz_: lspci | grep Ethernet | 03:31 |
| deniz_ | mjw-, it shows ethernet controller: inttel corporation etc and ethernet pro 100 | 03:32 |
| musicjock58 | thats hard to say, pretty, what are you into? i like music, so what i think are good apps may not agree with your tastes | 03:32 |

| mahmoud2 | mjw : would not that be the firewire? | 03:35 |
| reportingsjr | Anyone know how to regenerate ld.so.cache? I know for gentoo it is env-update. | 03:35 |
| mjw- | mahmoud2 firewire? where? | 03:36 |
| bluefoxx | Khisanth, because the available streams i found of ASOT radio were in wma format, and the id3 tags of the files... | 03:36 |
| prettyricky | ok thanks everyone@! | 03:36 |
| Syxx | can someone help me with installing java and flash players | 03:36 |

| mahmoud2 | Les_Caesars: umount /media/cdrom0 | 03:37 |
| ahorriblemess | joanki: i don't know if that would have anything to do with it though (using VLC instead) | 03:38 |
| Les_Caesars | thanks mahmoud2 | 03:38 |
| mjw- | EnderTheThird so you get 400fps even with the vesa driver? | 03:38 |
| Yanch0 | if i format /media/hda6 (have windows xp on it) will it screw grub ? | 03:38 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: with vesa, i got like 120 | 03:38 |
| lilg111111_ | i installed cairo, can somebody tell me how to start it | 03:38 |
| musicjock58 | les, click on your panel the cd icon and options should come up to unmount your cd | 03:38 |
| mjw- | mjw- well it's accelerating correctly...i'm not sure how else to explain the sluggishness..maybe it's just ready for pasture. :P | 03:38 |
| mjw- | Yanch0 only if you try to boot xp probably | 03:39 |

| joanki | ahorriblemess, http://limulus.wordpress.com/2007/12/10/playing-dvds-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ | 03:40 |
| Jouva | Actually I'm confused: Isn't the Evolution mail client SUPPOSED to automatically execute the filters once mail comes in? | 03:40 |
| EnderTheThird | mjw-: i think it's this integrated graphics that's killing it. i'm going to toss in an AGP card one of these days and see if that helps it out at all. | 03:40 |
| Yanch0 | okis and can u please confirm how to format the partition mjw-? | 03:40 |
| Jouva | Cause it's not for me | 03:40 |

| fez | i am wondering, does ubuntu support NATIVE drivers for linksys wpc54gs wireless PC card? (or does it just use ndiswrapper) | 03:41 |
| Darkmystere | Can some one Help me i cant get Ubuntu or any other linux distro to connect to my Router it uses wep yes wep i just use it because i can :D | 03:42 |
| mjw- | deniz_ that line just loads the module for the eepro100...you still need to configure things | 03:42 |
| deniz_ | mjw-, ok so wat do i do next? | 03:42 |
| mjw- | deniz_ does lsmod | grep -i eepro now return something? | 03:42 |

| mjw- | deniz_ no, it won't help get a network connection going | 03:46 |
| EnderTheThird | solexious: you can google it, but i'm pretty sure you just add an entry in /etc/fstab along the lines of "//server/folder /mount/point/here auto none 0 0" | 03:46 |
| cybertux | How config the termnal | 03:46 |
| cybertux | coler | 03:46 |
| deniz_ | o...but wen i opened it, it said eth0 is not ready | 03:46 |
| EnderTheThird | solexious: might need "smbfs" instead of "auto" though | 03:47 |
| RequinB4 | cybertux: you want to change the terminal's color? | 03:47 |

| mjw- | UghVista reboot using a livecd | 03:48 |
| deniz_ | omfg y is sharing an internet connectiojn soooo difficult??? | 03:48 |

| UghVista | I did mjw | 03:48 |
| Raspberry | I had direct rendering working in X (I have a Thinkpad X61T with an Intel X3100 video card) and it worked fine, but once I installed xgl and compiz -- I have lost my direct rendering so I can't run glxgears or anything (it restarts X) --- any ideas? I've been though dozens of postings on the forums | 03:49 |
| UghVista | I'm on a livecd right now | 03:49 |
| Yanch0 | i screwed /home/yancho .. any idea how i can restore it please?? | 03:49 |
| nohla | probando | 03:49 |
| RequinB4 | UghVista - check if the partition is mounted and unmount if it is | 03:49 |
| EnderTheThird | raspberry: XGL disables direct rendering (could use confirmation though) | 03:49 |
| deniz_ | anyway, ive had enuf for today, ill come bak later | 03:50 |
| Syxx | can someone help me with playing mp3 formats | 03:50 |
| mjw- | Raspberry: also, the X3100 is on the compiz blacklist right now | 03:50 |
| Raspberry | EnderTheThird: so DRI and XGL are mutually exclusive? | 03:50 |
| Raspberry | mjw-: compiz works great with it | 03:50 |
| mjw- | !mp3 > Syxx | 03:50 |
| deniz_ | Syxx, what os version? | 03:50 |

| pawan | error 22 no such partition | 03:51 |
| joanki | ahorriblemess, it now plays in vlc | 03:51 |
| EnderTheThird | raspberry: from what i remember when i had a radeon, xgl had to be used because it didn't support compiz with direct rendering, and xgl disables it because it's essentially a "hack" to get compiz running. you could check #compiz too | 03:51 |
| joanki | ahorriblemess, thanks so much | 03:51 |
| pawan | when i load 7.10 livecd no video | 03:51 |
| Raspberry | mjw: I don't need to run compiz at all -- I just need better 3d support so World of Warcraft, ET and other games will work -- I have Codeweavers cross over -- WoW installs fine and starts, but locks up the PC once the 3d engine is heavily called (same thing that happens with RtCW: Enemy Territory) | 03:51 |
| mjw- | tkxue try this: sudo apt-get purge gnash; sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 03:51 |

| Raspberry | mjw-: yeah I do run Windows :) I'd just like to not dual boot :D and Codeweavers supports WoW -- I could call them about it, but I thought I'd ask here first :) | 03:53 |
| EnderTheThird | raspberry: my help would be pretty limited there as i haven't tried linux with an ATI card in almost 2 years. i bought an nvidia card a few months after i started using Ubuntu exclusively | 03:53 |

| ubotu | Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:54 |
| mjw- | Raspberry the X3100 3D support is just kind of iffy right now in X. It's a pretty big departure from the older intel GMA series and the open source driver hasn't entirely caught up | 03:54 |
| EnderTheThird | requinb4: my apologies | 03:54 |

| Raspberry | mjw-: they released a big linux / openGL improved driver on the 28th of January ( I think) -- but I'd rather not muck up the packages to put it in place | 03:54 |
| Raspberry | with XGL and Compiz this card is smooth ... as good as my GeForce 7600 for Desktop stuff... definitely not the same for Games :P | 03:55 |

| mjw- | Raspberry well compiz isn't -that- taxing, at least. I have it running on this laptop...an ATI Radeon Mobility M6 from 2002. :) | 03:56 |
| Raspberry | I easily get 30fps in WoW on linux @ 1920x1200 -- so I figured @ 1024x800 it'd be playable in linux :) -- It runs and I can pick my character, but when it loads the game and actually tries to render everything it locks X | 03:56 |
| CVD-PR | ok dgclien.conf | 03:56 |

| Raspberry | mjw-: you're lucky I'm in a good mood :P | 03:57 |
| Raspberry | I just wanted to get the 3d working on this thing so I can ditch havign to boot into windows ... so I can play a bit between coding rather than just surfing the web | 03:58 |

| bruenig | nano: none really | 04:17 |
| [dcr] | killux: what are you trying to do? o.o | 04:18 |
| mjw- | nano: insmod is simpler. modprobe does some dependency resolution, I think, plus you can actually remove modules with it too | 04:18 |
| killux | no, i removed a harddrive and now grub wont boot up my existing hardrive with windows on it | 04:18 |
| forleaf | thit's is nothing:-D | 04:18 |
| killux | i just want to clear the mbr | 04:18 |
| mjw- | piedoggie did you do a sudo apt-get update after adding multiverse? | 04:18 |
| compwiz18 | killux: if you do that, nothing will boot | 04:18 |
| killux | fixmbr? | 04:18 |
| mjw- | mjw- and a sudo apt-get install python-profiler should do the trick | 04:18 |

| NigelS | killux: when you say you removed a HD, you removed the HD with the /boot directory on it? if not it is probably just that the drive order changed, hence their numbers changed and grub is trying to load the wrong drive | 04:20 |
| forleaf | why do you want to clear mbr killux? | 04:20 |
| UncleChevitz | !upgrade > me | 04:20 |
| nano | basically, i don't have loading the driver if i put the full name in ...i.e. including the | 04:20 |

| NigelS | pawan: I see - you've done that so you can repair the file but grub is interactive - you could have just given it a new drive interactively from boot - nevertheless you now need to mount the hard disk with grub on it - you can list your hard disks by typing ls -al /dev/disk/by-id | 04:23 |

| NigelS | nano: this is to say if the dir you're in is not /lib/modules/`uname -r` then modprobe won't see it | 04:26 |
| nano | Nigel: yes there is only one kernel on my system | 04:26 |

| NigelS | pawan: whichever of those drives contains your linux root drive - mount /dev/<drive letter and number> /directory of your choosing | 04:28 |
| freezey | nano: yeah? how do i find out which it is? | 04:28 |
| pawan | will i lose the existing insatllation and data | 04:28 |
| Starnestommy | Yanch0: you'll probably need to log into recovery mode or reboot to fix it if that umount failed | 04:28 |
| NigelS | nano: was depmod -a run by this installer? this more or less sounds like a problem with whatever process was used to install the driver | 04:28 |
| NigelS | nano: modprobe needs modules.dep to be current | 04:28 |
| piedoggie | the only problem I'm worried about is that I'm not sure how compatible VM Ware server 1.04 is with the latest Ubuntu | 04:29 |
| nano | NigelS, do i need to run depmod -a | 04:29 |
| NigelS | pawan: merely mounting the drive will not cause you to lose data | 04:29 |
| nano | im not sure if this installer ran that | 04:29 |
| pawan | ok | 04:29 |
| freezey | piedoggie: i setup vmware server on a CentOS 5 machine | 04:29 |
| freezey | works flawlessly | 04:29 |
| UncleChevitz | I've been trying to upgrade from 6.06, I followed the instructions @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades, but its just giving me a warning about "apt api not stable yet", anybody got suggestions? | 04:30 |
| piedoggie | no, I'm worried about the guest | 04:30 |
| NigelS | pawan: but as I say, you don't need to do this to boot ubuntu - you could from the grub menu edit the menu.lst on startup, i.e. enter the interactive prompt - however you're here now so you can do it this way | 04:30 |
| freezey | nano : how do i found out which device it is? | 04:30 |
| NigelS | nano: try it, see if it works - though this is the official nvidia installer? | 04:30 |
| nano | nigels: yes its the official nvidia installer | 04:30 |
| NigelS | nano: also have you run modprobe in verbose mode to see what error, if any it gives? | 04:30 |
| NigelS | nano: the nvidia version currently outpaces the one in the repos I guess? | 04:31 |
| pawan | i am not getting the drive letter where ubuntu is insatlled how to find | 04:31 |
| nano | freezey: depends on the type fo device it is, im not sure what your device is but a quick google search will tell you whatsup | 04:31 |
| piedoggie | one of the problems I ran into in a previous life was that the guests tools didn't always install properly on the more current distributions | 04:31 |
| Yanch0 | Starnestommy will a reboot delete the files in the partition ? | 04:31 |
| nano | NgielS: i think i will try that | 04:31 |
| nano | thanks for ur hlep | 04:31 |
| nano | and i will reboot | 04:31 |
| nano | now | 04:31 |
| nano | bye | 04:31 |
| NigelS | pawan: if you type fdisk -l it will list all partitions and their associated file types - look for the one which is formatted in ext3 0x83 | 04:32 |
| Starnestommy | Yanch0: if they weren't deleted now they most likely won't be deleted when rebooting | 04:32 |
| NigelS | file formats even | 04:32 |
| Yanch0 | Starnestommy any other option apart from deleting that u might think of please? | 04:32 |
| Yanch0 | Starnestommy deleting = rebooting | 04:33 |

| NigelS | pawan: I think the /boot then is /dev/sdb3 - try this mkdir /tmp/boot && mount /dev/sdb3 /tmp/boot | 04:36 |
| Starnestommy | Yanch0: it might be a bit safer to do it from the server, unless it's too far away | 04:36 |
| moDumass | hey all, is there some way that will allow me to see thumbnail previews of images in gnome again? | 04:36 |
| Yanch0 | no next to me .. im doing it | 04:36 |
| pawan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mkdir /tmp/boot && mount /dev/sdb3 /tmp/boot | 04:37 |
| pawan | mkdir: cannot create directory `/tmp/boot': File exists | 04:37 |
| Yanch0 | Starnestommy from the gui i cannot load the terminal :( | 04:37 |
| NigelS | pawan: I see, then change boot to something that isn't there | 04:37 |
| OmegaCenti_ | Alright, My big problem today is my terminal fonts can't be loaded or something or another | 04:37 |
| Starnestommy | Yanch0: ctrl+alt+f2, then log in as yourself at the prompt and type sudo telinit 6 | 04:38 |
| pawan | like | 04:38 |
| Yanch0 | done Starnestommy .. now what please? | 04:38 |
| NigelS | pawan: I leave that to you | 04:39 |

| j0hng4lt | hello folks, newbie here, finally got ubuntu installed and wireless config working (needed restriced driver...) | 04:39 |
| NigelS | pawan: you're just mounting to a folder - you could call it /tmp/flibbidyflobbidyfloo and it wouldn't matter | 04:39 |
| Yanch0 | moutning root file system ok .. mounting boot ok | 04:40 |
| j0hng4lt | I installed apache and PHP, how do I test installation? | 04:40 |
| pawan | what is this /tmp/boot files exist | 04:40 |
| mjw- | j0hng4lt try 127.0.0.1 in a web browser | 04:40 |
| ghost | is there a way I can have make do a check for dependencies that are not filled and then have apt-get install said missing files? | 04:41 |
| NigelS | pawan: it means that you tried to create a directory that already existed | 04:41 |
| Wuju | Hello | 04:41 |
| j0hng4lt | LOL, tried localhost, it works. | 04:41 |
| j0hng4lt | that was a dumb question | 04:41 |
| Wuju | opensuse had a server outage | 04:41 |
| pawan | then | 04:41 |
| Wuju | i kind of need opensuse help, since opensuse support is starting to suck | 04:41 |
| mjw- | !ot | Wuju | 04:41 |
| ubotu | Wuju: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:41 |
| NigelS | pawan: then what?, what have you done? | 04:41 |
| ghost | is there a way I can have make do a check for dependencies that are not filled and then have apt-get install said missing files? | 04:41 |
| NigelS | j0hng4lt: you can define additional hosts etc in /etc/hosts if you're testing sites and what not | 04:41 |
| j0hng4lt | any suggestions for a FTP client for linux? GUI preferred. | 04:41 |
| pawan | how to recreate it | 04:42 |

| OmegaCenti_ | think I need help with framebuffer and usplash | 04:42 |
| NigelS | pawan: have you mounted the drive? | 04:42 |
| j0hng4lt | apt-get install !ftp ? | 04:42 |
| pawan | no | 04:42 |

| === co_kenter_fs is now known as chesa | ||
| kf6aaq | and it worked on this laptop | 04:44 |
| mjw- | mike_ you'll need the binary ATI driver, which may or may not automatically prompt you to be installed | 04:44 |
| blurple | I have always had problems with my ati9600xt | 04:44 |
| blurple | never worked for me | 04:44 |
| NigelS | pawan: right; then type mkdir /tmp/unlikelydirname && sudo mount /dev/sdb3 /tmp/unlikelydirname | 04:44 |
| IshmaelDS | anyone able to help me out. I have a toshiba satellite p100 and it detects my soundcard, I checked the alsamixer and the sounds not muted but I get no sound. Any Ideas? | 04:44 |

| rainwalker | what's the name of the firewall Ubuntu comes with? | 04:48 |
| mouseboyx | so if i type cc mything.c it will find <stdio.h>? | 04:48 |
| Starnestommy | rainwalker: netfilter or iptables | 04:48 |
| rainwalker | Starnestommy: or? how do I know which one? | 04:48 |
| pawan | now | 04:49 |
| Starnestommy | rainwalker: they're the same thing. netfilter is the kernel-side part and iptables is the user-space utility that controls netfilter | 04:49 |
| NigelS | rainwalker: linux uses iptables - iptables is netfilter | 04:49 |
| mjw- | mouseboyx i don't know, honestly, the build-essential package will definitely net you that. | 04:49 |
| rainwalker | oh ok | 04:49 |
| rainwalker | isn't firestarter the GUI for it or something like that? | 04:49 |
| Starnestommy | that's one of them | 04:49 |
| mouseboyx | Works MJW thanks! | 04:49 |
| pawan | removable disk | 04:50 |
| mcquaid | /join #gloss | 04:50 |
| rainwalker | Starnestommy: what others are there? | 04:50 |
| NigelS | pawan: if that's not where /boot is - then it must be the other one - type sudo umount /dev/sdb3 and then repeat the previous command without the mkdir obviously but this time use /dev/sdb7 | 04:50 |
| Starnestommy | rainwalker: I can't remember their names but I know they exist | 04:51 |
| rainwalker | ok thanks | 04:51 |
| pawan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo umount /dev/sdb3 | 04:52 |
| pawan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ | 04:52 |

| scjp_ | what is the difference between linux x86 and linux-64 | 04:53 |
| MagoonD | If I am running ubuntu on my laptop and hook up a mointor to the vga port how do I switch my display to use the monitor? | 04:53 |
| mjw- | scjp_ x86 = 32 bit, 64 = 64 bit | 04:54 |
| Starnestommy | scjp_: regular x86 is 32-bit. x86-64 is 64-bit and optimised for 54-bit machines | 04:54 |
| Starnestommy | er, 64-bit | 04:54 |
| mjw- | yeah, the 54-bit machines never really took off ;) | 04:54 |
| miniux | Hi everyone, I just nuked my / partition (long story)... I have a separate /home partition and I am trying to reinstall... finally got gparted/ubuntu install partitioner to recognize my old partition table by rewriting it with testdisk and I had to delete the very corrupted / partition (because it was "overlapping" with another partition)... I am trying to attach the new install to my old /home and user preferences but it doesnt see my old users.. and yes m | 04:54 |
| prettyricky | what is everyone using to install new themes for the start up | 04:54 |
| scjp_ | Starnestommy, so basically x86 is like pentium | 04:54 |
| prettyricky | is there anything like bootskin for ubuntu 7.10 | 04:54 |
| scjp_ | Starnestommy, pentium4 | 04:54 |
| winter-mute | void^: thanks! | 04:55 |
| pawan | how to remount sdb7 | 04:55 |
| NigelS | pawan: you have to think for yourself a bit you know! i told you to repeat the previous mount command but this time with the other drive - i.e. sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /tmp/unlikelydirname | 04:55 |
| winter-mute | NigelS: thanks! | 04:55 |
| mjw- | scjp_ the original pentiums 1-4 were all 32bit processors, yes | 04:55 |
| Starnestommy | scjp_: most intel and amd processors. amd64 is backwards-compatible with x86 | 04:55 |
| NigelS | winter-mute: np :) | 04:55 |
| pawan | ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb7 /tmp/unlikelydirname | 04:55 |

| ubotu | 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+) | 05:07 |
| badkitty | j0hng4lt: should be in etc or etc/init.d ll | 05:07 |
| badkitty | j0hng4lt: You arent sure if you installed it?? | 05:08 |
| NigelS | unagi_: then help us to help you - are you saying that your output looks identical to mine except for that error? | 05:08 |
| j0hng4lt | the folder mysql is in etc... | 05:08 |

| NigelS | unagi_: it looks like you're trying to install dpkg itself? | 05:09 |

| badkitty | j0hng4lt: Im not sure otherwise where it is located | 05:10 |
| unagi_ | im trying to run sudo apt-get install -f | 05:10 |

| j0hng4lt | badkitty: i did not have it installed, getting it now | 05:15 |

| j0hng4lt | I have a new dell laptop, came with vista, put ubuntu in, installed perfectly, everything wroks - even the buttons on the front | 05:16 |
| NigelS | pawan: ok, the line you're interested in is the one labelled root - that reads (hd1,6) - if this is wrong you need to alter it to the correct value - from your fdisk output it may be 5 but I'm not entirely certain on that; now you don't need to edit this file to discover it - at boot if you press e you can interactively edit these settings until you determine the correct one | 05:16 |
| CoLD^MeTaL | ah right | 05:16 |

| j0hng4lt | and vista sucked, almost put xp on it, then figged i would try ubuntu | 05:17 |
| j0hng4lt | this system did not offer preinstall | 05:17 |
| NigelS | unagi_: do you have the log, the output of what happened during the installation of that package? | 05:18 |
| mavric | u coulda saved | 05:18 |
| j0hng4lt | i program php for a living, and linux seems to make since | 05:18 |
| bluefox83 | j0hng4lt, i got a new HP with a nvidia vid card and amd 64 bit dual core procs, it runs great too :) | 05:18 |
| music`freak | every time i boot into ubuntu it says my screen is out of sync | 05:18 |
| j0hng4lt | sweeeet | 05:18 |
| music`freak | it takes around extra 20 secs. to log in | 05:18 |
| bluefox83 | it has a dual layer burner in it ;) | 05:18 |
| unagi_ | Nigels no but the command was dpkg -i --force-all /path/to/file.deb | 05:18 |
| music`freak | and its a real pain | 05:18 |
| CoLD^MeTaL | ok, another question, my mic doesn't work, i mean, when i unmute it i head it, but when i try to use skype it doesn't get anything and when i use sound recorder i get the follwing message: | 05:18 |
| bluefox83 | and 2 gigs of ram :D | 05:18 |
| bluefox83 | for $548.00 at bestbuy :P | 05:18 |
| mjw- | music`freak ah, it's probably just trying to find the right resolution/refresh for your monitor | 05:18 |
| j0hng4lt | the apt-get feature is the bomb - I absolutely love typing apt-get install mysql-server-5.0 and voila! it is installing! that rocks | 05:18 |
| mjw- | dell latitude c510 from 2002 all the way...woohoo :P | 05:19 |
| mavric | fixed optical drives go bad in those cheapo laptops | 05:19 |
| j0hng4lt | thisis the e1505 inspiron | 05:19 |
| mjw- | music`freak are you in ubuntu now? | 05:19 |
| music`freak | how do i avoid it? | 05:19 |
| music`freak | yes | 05:19 |
| CoLD^MeTaL | "your audio device settings are invalid. please correct them in multimedia settings" | 05:19 |
| music`freak | i'm in ubuntu now | 05:19 |
| pawan | should i change hd1 parameteres or the 1,2,3,4,5,6 | 05:19 |
| G1015 | I'm trying to use use ushare to connect to me xbox 360.. the only problem is I don't know how to share my drive thats name is "new volume" the usage is ushare -c "directory" so would I just put in -c /media/new volume/ ? | 05:19 |
| NigelS | unagi_: yes, what I'm interested in, in particular, is what it actually did - what was the conflict that this pkg resolved? the way to fix this really is to manually replace those components - i.e. remove that pkg and replace whatever it removed - then apt should no longer see a problem - failing that try and use aptitude - it has more sophisticated routines for resolving conflicts and may suggest a better solution than the one apt has found | 05:19 |
| mjw- | music`freak well, check this for me: in a terminal, what does glxinfo | grep -i direct return? | 05:19 |
| pawan | will hd1 be fixed | 05:19 |
| music`freak | hold on... | 05:20 |
| NigelS | pawan: what is wrong with hd1? | 05:20 |
| j0hng4lt | so, other than apt-get, what is the coolest features taht will make me have vista even more? | 05:20 |
| music`freak | do i paste it here? | 05:20 |
| j0hng4lt | hate* | 05:20 |
| unagi_ | oh wait heres the output | 05:20 |
| pawan | its all right | 05:20 |
| Liono | can some body tell me where can i have kiosktool guide or help web page? | 05:20 |
| mjw- | music`freak if its just one line, yes | 05:20 |

| music`freak | direct rendering: Yes | 05:20 |
| unagi_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56190/ | 05:20 |
| music`freak | thats what i got | 05:20 |
| j0hng4lt | the dual desktops is way cool too | 05:20 |
| jack-desktop | is there a defrag in ubuntu? or is it needed at all? | 05:20 |
| mjw- | music`freak well you've got the right driver installed at least | 05:20 |
| pawan | should i also try hd0 and hd2 | 05:21 |
| music`freak | K | 05:21 |
| soldats | !defrag | jack-desktop | 05:21 |
| ubotu | jack-desktop: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 05:21 |
| music`freak | what next? | 05:21 |
| mjw- | music`freak what's the 'native' resolution of the monitor you're using | 05:21 |
| music`freak | its a CRT | 05:21 |
| CoLD^MeTaL | i'll repeat | 05:21 |
| CoLD^MeTaL | ok, another question, my mic doesn't work, i mean, when i unmute it i head it, but when i try to use skype it doesn't get anything and when i use sound recorder i get the follwing message: | 05:21 |
| CoLD^MeTaL | "your audio device settings are invalid. please correct them in multimedia settings" | 05:21 |
| music`freak | i used 800x600 in XP | 05:21 |
| mjw- | music`freak is this like an old 15" CRT or something? | 05:21 |
| music`freak | yup | 05:21 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | i have a question, for some reason i cant install ubuntu on my HP, i hit install after i pop in the disc and then it pops up as a blank screen with text on the bottom, anyone help? | 05:21 |
| music`freak | 15" 4 year old one | 05:22 |
| music`freak | <--- is broke | 05:22 |
| music`freak | :/ | 05:22 |
| unagi_ | NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56190/ | 05:22 |
| jack-desktop | soldats, thanks. | 05:22 |
| mjw- | music`freak post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a pastebin and I'll take a looksee at it. It probably has a bunch of modes in it that your monitor breaks with that could be deleted | 05:22 |
| mjw- | !pastebin | music`freak | 05:22 |
| ubotu | music`freak: 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) | 05:22 |
| music`freak | Hmmm | 05:23 |
| NigelS | unagi_: hmm, my recommendation then is to try and see whether undoing that will resolve this: you can probably find the correct package in your apt cache but to ensure you have the right one for gutsy you can download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/kdelibs4c2a | 05:23 |
| ploom | any good articles on upstart vs initng? | 05:23 |
| pawan | ok i restart and try | 05:23 |
| j0hng4lt | wow - i love apt-get | 05:23 |
| soldats | mjw-: that wont help xorg chooses the best res and refresh rates automatically, even if you delete them it wont do anything if you look at it make sure the refresh rates are correct since thats the main problem | 05:23 |
| j0hng4lt | i dont quite understand it fully - but i love it | 05:23 |
| NigelS | unagi_: then dpkg install that, make note of any changes it wants to make before continuing | 05:24 |
| Joeseph | hello, I seem to have been able to compile my first HelloWorld C++ program and was wondering how to run it | 05:24 |
| unagi_ | dpkg isnt installeed | 05:24 |
| NigelS | Joeseph: ./<your program> | 05:24 |
| NigelS | unagi_: I feared as much | 05:24 |
| ploom | Joeseph, did you compile it? | 05:24 |
| mjw- | soldats i don't do modelines <g> | 05:24 |
| unagi_ | so now what | 05:25 |
| music`freak | mjw-: what about the syntax tab? | 05:25 |
| ploom | Joeseph, you need gcc or something similar - and it generates an executable for you if it can | 05:25 |
| music`freak | is it important? | 05:25 |
| j0hng4lt | okay, installed mysql via apt, and still no phpMyAdmin... | 05:25 |
| j0hng4lt | any ideas? | 05:25 |
| mjw- | music`freak that's not important | 05:26 |
| Joeseph | ploom: I believe so, I see a little blue sideways looking square that says HelloWorldExe.... | 05:26 |
| G1015 | How do you point to a directory that has two words in it... ie.... /new volume | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | j0hng4lt: it's a seperate package. try sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin | 05:26 |
| music`freak | k this is the URl.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56191/ | 05:26 |
| ploom | j0hng4lt, maybe you need to set up phpMyAdmin too | 05:26 |
| music`freak | mjw-: | 05:26 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | can anyone tell me why ubuntus not installing on my PC? | 05:26 |
| soldats | j0hng4lt: sudo apt-get install lamp | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | G1015: cd /Directort \With \Spaces | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | *Directory | 05:26 |
| j0hng4lt | thanks stanestommy | 05:26 |
| Darkmystere | I cant get my Skydome and cube cap pics to load how do i get them to? | 05:26 |
| soldats | j0hng4lt: lamp is the linux apache mysql and php | 05:26 |
| unagi_ | ? | 05:26 |
| Starnestommy | G1015: er, the \ comes before the space not after | 05:26 |
| Joeseph | ploom: along with the HelloWorld.cpp file | 05:27 |
| MagoonD | whats the copy command in terminal? | 05:27 |
| j0hng4lt | soldats - I have already installed apache and php5, so would a new lamp install be necessary? I would have done that origionally if I knew you could install lamp from one line.... | 05:27 |
| amicrawler | how do i make my sound come out of the master setting on the sound controler ? | 05:27 |
| Starnestommy | MagoonD: cp source target | 05:27 |
| amicrawler | can any body help me here ? | 05:27 |
| ploom | Joeseph, where do you see it - in nautilus? | 05:27 |
| Joeseph | in my home folder | 05:27 |
| Joeseph | I don't know what nautilus is | 05:27 |
| mjw- | music`freak so do you want 800x600? | 05:27 |
| G1015 | Starnestommy: so what i'm trying to do is share a hard drive that has a name that is new volume... so would I do it like this /media/new /volume? | 05:28 |
| ploom | otherwise the command is ./whateverthe-name-of-executable-file | 05:28 |
| soldats | j0hng4lt: i dont think so but do what star said then | 05:28 |
| Starnestommy | G1015: /media/new\ volume | 05:28 |
| music`freak | yes mjw- | 05:28 |
| music`freak | been using the same res. | 05:28 |

| G1015 | Starnestommy: thank you very much! | 05:28 |
| music`freak | and i'm guessing its the highest i can go | 05:29 |
| j0hng4lt | apt could not find package lamp | 05:29 |
| music`freak | gee i feel like a n00b | 05:29 |
| music`freak | lol | 05:29 |
| j0hng4lt | got phpmyadmin via apt, still not in localhost | 05:29 |
| j0hng4lt | hmmm... | 05:29 |
| chubs730 | linux, apache, php, mysql | 05:29 |
| chubs730 | just get them separate | 05:29 |
| mjw- | music`freak x automatically stuck in a modeline for 1024x768 so in theory the monitor is capable, albeit at a headache-inducing resolution | 05:29 |
| music`freak | yeah | 05:29 |

| nano | hey guys, i can't seem to get my nvidia module to load via modprobe......it works fine with insmod, but i need modprobe to automate the process at bootup....? | 05:29 |

| ubuntuwestbengal | hello, i just started a LoCo team and have submitted my applicaiton for approval, how long will this process take? | 05:30 |
| j0hng4lt | i have apache and php5 working, just cannot access mysql - and phpmyadmin apt-get seemed to work, but i cannot find it to browse it it.... | 05:30 |
| mjw- | music`freak let me tool around with it for a few minutes | 05:30 |
| chubs730 | hm | 05:30 |
| music`freak | and guys is xchat the best IRC client for Ubuntu ? | 05:30 |
| music`freak | or anythin' else better? | 05:30 |

| mjw- | music`freak do you happen to know what the monitor is truly capable of at 800x600 refresh rate wise? | 05:31 |
| Joeseph | ploom: I'm just getting an error I don't understand | 05:31 |

| music`freak | used to give me trouble with anythin' higher | 05:31 |
| yossman | and it keeps saying 'can't enable desktop effects' | 05:31 |
| Joeseph | ah | 05:31 |
| Joeseph | ! | 05:31 |
| ploom | well, inside bash - usually tab key helps completing file names | 05:31 |
| Joeseph | got it! Thanks Ploom! | 05:32 |
| yossman | tried to get it to install restricted driver and ubuntu insists i don't need one | 05:32 |
| yossman | any ideas? | 05:32 |
| nano | so does anybody know y a driver will work with insmod but not with modprobe? | 05:32 |
| ploom | Joeseph, nice! | 05:32 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | Can any one tell me how i can make the file information appear when i hover my pointer over a file in the file browser? | 05:32 |
| NigelS | unagi_: I'm thinking - I believe you can do it by extracting the dpkg in your / - that will certainly give you the program but it will of course not register it as installed | 05:32 |

| ploom | dear Joeseph - editor is your friend. no matter if you use emacs, vim or some graphical one. | 05:34 |
| mjw- | music`freak basically i took out everything except the resolution and refresh rate you identified as working best | 05:34 |
| music`freak | here goes....... | 05:34 |
| j0hng4lt | okay, phpMyAdmin is in etc, with confing includes in it. Hmm, Any ideas on how to make it browsable? | 05:34 |

| ploom | Joeseph, for terminal I have used pine, emacs and vim | 05:35 |

| chubs730 | that was fairly accurate | 05:35 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: Did you install it via the package manager? | 05:35 |
| j0hng4lt | no, via apt-get | 05:36 |

| jack | where does ubuntu stand? | 05:36 |
| ploom | Joeseph, sry - pine had pico embedded, now it has a clone named nano :-) | 05:36 |

| j0hng4lt | ph0rensic: okay - how do i fix? | 05:37 |
| NigelS | unagi_: if you then go to your / dir and run tar -xzvf on it it will extract into your file tree | 05:37 |
| joeamined | fxd : add the medibuntu repository and install w32codecs | 05:37 |
| j0hng4lt | this is a fresh install (3 hours old) | 05:37 |
| unagi_ | NigelS: i dont care about the deb i want it off my machine | 05:37 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: I dont know... I always installed everything at one time using apt-get | 05:37 |
| NigelS | unagi_: after that dpkg should be available and you can install the proper lib and then also install dpkg from the repo | 05:38 |
| j0hng4lt | I can uninstall and reinstall? | 05:38 |
| unagi_ | NigelS: all i want is for dpkg to be here | 05:38 |
| unagi_ | er | 05:38 |
| unagi_ | u mean the dpkg deb | 05:38 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: Yes you can do that | 05:38 |
| joeamined | then install the xine-plugin or the mplayer mozilla plugin | 05:38 |
| j0hng4lt | how do I uninstall mysql and phpmyadmin, apache2 and php5? | 05:38 |
| genjix | Hi! | 05:38 |

| ubotu | genjix: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 05:38 |
| genjix | j0hng4lt: apt-get purge blaa, no? | 05:38 |
| fxd | joeamined: do i add repositories through the terminal or synaptic? and where would one find w32codecs? | 05:38 |
| ph0rensic | Well You didn't install apache or php by apt so I don't know abot those but yah for the other 2 | 05:38 |
| [dcr] | !grub | 05:39 |
| 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 | 05:39 |
| ph0rensic | fxd: either way | 05:39 |
| [dcr] | Sweet I remembered it :D | 05:39 |
| [dcr] | <3 | 05:39 |
| joeamined | the w32codecs is in the medibuntu repositories, you can add it via synaptic or via a terminal. details are provided in the medibuntu web page | 05:39 |
| [dcr] | GRUB did get jacked up after installing windows xD | 05:39 |
| music`freak | mjw-: it doesn't gedit doesn't let me save the modified config. file as i don' | 05:39 |
| fxd | ph0rensic: and the w32 codecs, are those in synaptic? | 05:40 |
| genjix | my grub and system is fucked just after upgrading | 05:40 |
| joeamined | synaptic is a front end, it's not a repository of software packages | 05:40 |
| mjw- | music`freak go to a terminal and use this line: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:40 |
| mjw- | !ohmy | genjix | 05:40 |

| ph0rensic | fxd: Well the package resides at the medibuntu repository ... but once you add the repository to your sources, you can find it in synaptic or using the ommand line (which is faster) | 05:40 |
| music`freak | whats the diff. btw. gksu & sudo mjw-? | 05:40 |
| mjw- | !gksu | music`freak | 05:41 |
| ubotu | music`freak: 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) | 05:41 |
| ph0rensic | music`freak: gksudo is for graphical apps | 05:41 |
| joeamined | fxd : the packages are present in repositories, synaptic or aptitude are just front ends to display what repositories offer as packages | 05:41 |

| ph0rensic | jack-desktop: you have to edit grub | 05:44 |
| unagi_ | how do i install a deb without dpkg | 05:44 |
| jack-desktop | ph0rensic, what part | 05:44 |
| unagi_ | !deb | 05:44 |
| ubotu | deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 05:44 |
| linux__alien | anyone using User Mode Linux in Ubuntu ? | 05:44 |
| jack-desktop | ph0rensic, how | 05:44 |

| NigelS | unagi_: where have you got to? | 05:45 |
| ph0rensic | jack-desktop: That I can't tell you, but there is a section where you edit the boot order | 05:45 |

| ubuntuwestbengal | bye | 05:46 |
| ccq | i feel like someone trying to brainwash me with ideas like "freedom as speech software" and "ubuntu is universal truth, way of life". is ubuntu some kind of sect? "freedom" and "truth" are _VERY_ moot points, but zero price (but is it really zero?) and decent technology (if any) is another talk. | 05:46 |
| mjw- | !ot > ccq | 05:47 |
| joeamined | fxd: no need to restart | 05:47 |
| j0hng4lt | okay, I cannot save files to the www folder, says that root has permissions. How do I sudo this from gui? | 05:47 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | ubuntu is a cult operating system..its the BEST ever | 05:47 |
| ph0rensic | LOL | 05:47 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: You should either use the CLI to move files or change the folders permissions or something | 05:48 |
| j0hng4lt | CLI? | 05:48 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: Command Line Interface | 05:48 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: terminal | 05:48 |
| j0hng4lt | okay, browse there and then change the attributes? like a attrib dos command? | 05:48 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: Yes or you can use root privs temporarily using sudo | 05:49 |
| [dcr] | Is there anyone who can help me fix my grub? | 05:49 |
| [dcr] | I followed the Wiki but i got an error =[ | 05:49 |
| swuboo | You can always use the GUI to save files to a root-only folder by running 'gksudo nautilus' | 05:50 |
| j0hng4lt | pkay, i found the dir, how to view/change attribs? | 05:50 |
| Rael | Can some one assist me with getting my sound to work. I have a Sound Blaster Live Card. I'm using alsa and I have turned all the volume sliders up but get no sound from my mp3 players...the codecs are installed and the files play but no sound | 05:50 |
| swuboo | Rael: Do you also have onboard sound? | 05:51 |
| Rael | I'm not sure what you mean by onboard | 05:51 |
| joeamined | Rael, maybe it's just a hardware connector not plugged | 05:51 |
| NigelS | Ubuntu a cult? nonsense; all hail shuttleworth! ;) | 05:51 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: Are you in a terminal? | 05:51 |
| swuboo | Built into the motherboard. | 05:51 |
| NigelS | Rael: i.e. built into your... | 05:51 |
| NigelS | yes | 05:52 |
| Rael | ohh | 05:52 |
| Rael | no its an aftermarket card. I got it working under fedora but not under ubuntu | 05:52 |
| swuboo | I found that my Ubuntu install will categorically refuse to acknowledge my PCI sound blaster, and will only play through my onboard. | 05:52 |
| j0hng4lt | brb | 05:52 |
| Rael | EMU10K1 - SB Live 5.1 Dell OEM | 05:52 |
| swuboo | Even if I manually changed the ALSO config files. | 05:52 |
| swuboo | ALSA, even. | 05:52 |
| NigelS | unagi_: I am going to sleep now - if you follow instructs above you should get a working dpkg - from there you can fix it I'm sure | 05:52 |

| Rael | when I mute and unmute the pcm channele I can hear th espeakers clicking so I know its connected | 05:54 |
| Kam | hola | 05:54 |
| ph0rensic | j0hng4lt: use the chown command to change the directory ownder to you, or create another user called say... webadmin and chown it to him .. or you can make a group have permissions to write to the folder, and then add yourself to the group | 05:54 |
| swuboo | Rael: Yeah, mine did that too. | 05:54 |
| Kam | hay alguien que hable español aca ? | 05:54 |

| music`freak | or could you guide me to some resource on the next? | 05:58 |
| puff | Anybody installed ubuntu on a thinkpad X61? | 05:58 |

| guido | I am new to Ubuntu and need to get flash player 9 downloaded so I can get virtual tours to show. Can anyone help? | 06:07 |
| joeamined | guido : install the flash plugin | 06:07 |
| Marvin-TMDR | http://tinyurl.com/249rjg | 06:07 |
| nixternal | guido: install flashplugin-nonfree | 06:07 |
| swuboo | genjix: I have no idea how to fix your problem, but a LiveCD gives you access to Synaptic/apt and the repositories. | 06:07 |
| genjix | ok | 06:08 |
| nixternal | genjix: you could always work on reinstalling the OS w/o formatting your current partitions as well | 06:08 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, I'm using nvidia driver 169.09, i have horrible 3d performance on what should be a decent card (8400M GS), also anything 3d uses 100% CPU, yet glxinfo confirms i have direct rendering. I need help with this otherwise its back to windows >_< | 06:08 |
| u007-1 | hi, i'm unable to chown on my external usb hdd, anyone got any suggestion? | 06:08 |
| u007-1 | it is on vfat | 06:08 |
| astro76 | furythor: if so you can move it wherever you want and make a symbolic link, mv ~/.wine/ /new/path/to/.wine && ln -s /new/path/to/.wine ~/ | 06:08 |
| icesword | u007-1, use root account to chown | 06:08 |
| lyte | u007-1: vfat doesn't have ownership info, chroot does nothing | 06:09 |
| j0hng4lt | I have tried everything - still cannot connect to phpMyAdmin. I have testing php, looked over the php.ini file, reinstalled mysql server and php my admin, and restarted apache.... | 06:09 |
| guido | Where do you get that plug-in. When I go to the site for flash player 9 it gives me 3 choices. I have tried them all but they won't download. | 06:09 |
| lyte | guido: it's in aptitude NOT on a website | 06:09 |
| j0hng4lt | not bad for first day on ubuntu, but still, I would like to get a developemnt testing enviroment setup | 06:09 |
| u007-1 | lyte - so its not possible to chown on a vfat :) | 06:10 |
| lyte | i'd be scared if it was :/ | 06:10 |
| joeamined | guido : you have to open a gnome terminal and type sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 06:10 |

| humblerodent | IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAND! | 06:20 |
| lyte | u007-1: i may have forgotten something, you may need to add ",gid=<your group here>" after "umask=007" or use a umask of 000 if you trust everyone that goes near your pc | 06:20 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, I'm using nvidia driver 169.09, i have horrible 3d performance on what should be a decent card (8400M GS), also anything 3d uses 100% CPU, yet glxinfo confirms i have direct rendering. I need help with this otherwise its back to windows >_< | 06:20 |
| Cpudan80 | jscinoz: Are you using the drivers from the restricted driver thing? | 06:21 |
| _nando | anto | 06:21 |
| jscinoz | cpudan80, no installed via envy as the ones in ubuntu's repo are out of date | 06:21 |
| _nando | sorry | 06:21 |
| Cpudan80 | jscinoz: Maybe you should get a different driver from Nvida | 06:22 |
| u007-1 | lyte - okay :) | 06:22 |
| Cpudan80 | Nvidia* | 06:22 |
| swuboo | jscinoz: Out of date isn't necessarily a bad thing. | 06:22 |
| Cpudan80 | jscinoz: I had a similar issue with a 169 driver in Windows | 06:22 |
| jscinoz | be right back then, downgrading | 06:22 |
| mjw- | out of date often means stable. nicely stable. :) | 06:22 |
| Cpudan80 | not sure what # it was | 06:22 |
| swuboo | jscinoz: glxinfo gives my version of the nvidia driver as 1.4, and I've never had a problem with it. | 06:22 |
| Cpudan80 | Im not sure what's up with Nvidia | 06:22 |
| jscinoz | brb downgrading from 169xx to 100.14.19 >_< | 06:22 |

| trentster | ehy all, could someone tell me what I need to do under ubuntu 64 to get java working in firefox.......??? | 06:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Sometimes they hit the drivers dead on | 06:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Other times -- they fail miserably | 06:23 |
| astro76 | !flash64 | trentster | 06:23 |
| ubotu | trentster: You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 06:23 |

| Led_Zeppelin | anyone running AMD64 bit Ubuntu? | 06:23 |
| swuboo | Cpudan80: Yeah, I've had to roll back updates to nVidia's Windows drivers half a dozen times. | 06:23 |
| swuboo | Zeppelin: Yes. | 06:23 |
| Cpudan80 | Led_Zeppelin: Yes | 06:23 |
| Led_Zeppelin | Cpudan80, ok, how are you running Java applets? | 06:24 |
| Cpudan80 | swuboo: Yeah, their drivers are quite spotty | 06:24 |
| Cpudan80 | Led_Zeppelin: See the instructions from Ubotu | 06:24 |
| Led_Zeppelin | lets work on Java first, then Flash :) | 06:24 |
| trentster | thanks | 06:24 |
| Cpudan80 | The instructions are for Flash and Java | 06:24 |
| Cpudan80 | Led_Zeppelin: The Java crashes a lot in my experience | 06:24 |
| Cpudan80 | To the point where I avoid firing up java applets | 06:24 |
| Led_Zeppelin | oh no | 06:25 |
| swuboo | Ironically, I have Flash working, but I've got it completely blocked because of that horrible grey-screen-freezy-thing. | 06:25 |
| Led_Zeppelin | not good :-( | 06:25 |
| Led_Zeppelin | Cpudan80, wow really? | 06:25 |
| inflex | how can I reset the Ubuntu theme back to default (Gnome etc) | 06:25 |
| Cpudan80 | Led_Zeppelin: Yeah -- usually after 20 seconds the thing is dead | 06:25 |

| Cpudan80 | glick: In theory yeah, you have enough info to get the private key back | 06:27 |
| astro76 | glick: if you've lost the private key file there is no way to recover, it's *very* important to back this up well | 06:27 |
| goose | is there a way I can set a password on Evolution so it cannot be launched without the password? | 06:27 |
| astro76 | Cpudan80: I don't believe that's the case | 06:27 |

| u007-1 | lyte - yeah , hehe :D | 06:28 |
| marupa | whoever gave me the link for 32b firefox on 64b linux. THANK YOU! Geez. I was dying | 06:28 |
| Cpudan80 | astro76: But in theory with the public key and the passcode you should be able to get the private key | 06:28 |
| glick | astro76, so there is no way i can recover it? | 06:28 |
| mjw- | goose just use it in an account that requires the password | 06:28 |
| dookdook | astro76, thanks | 06:28 |
| Cpudan80 | Like K+(K-(m)) = m as does K-(K+(m)) = m | 06:28 |
| Cpudan80 | actually..... | 06:29 |
| astro76 | glick: there's no way | 06:29 |
| Cpudan80 | The passphrase could be for any private key... | 06:29 |
| goose | mjw: I want to be able to save the password on Evolution so I don't have to punch it in when it automatically checks every 10 minutes for new messages, but I don't want it to even open without the root password or something | 06:29 |
| travisat | how does one reset the resolution of x from the command line? | 06:29 |
| Cpudan80 | Yeah there is no way | 06:29 |
| jrib | Cpudan80: it may take him millions of years, but sure | 06:29 |
| Cpudan80 | Brute force would be the way | 06:29 |
| Cpudan80 | but........ | 06:29 |
| icesword | what | 06:30 |
| astro76 | glick: people back up their private key and revocation certificate and place them in a safe deposit box sometimes | 06:30 |
| Necrodrako | Hello, I'm using Gutsy Gibbon, im not quite sure what i did, i havent done anything out of the ordinary, but my desktop icons wont show up nor will any folder windows (home folder, /media/) nothing. Does anyone know a possible solution to this? | 06:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: can you get to it from a terminal ? | 06:30 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: Try CTRL+ALT+F1 | 06:30 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: yes | 06:31 |
| glick | if i can generate a public key from a private key | 06:31 |
| glick | why not a private key from a public key? | 06:31 |
| Cpudan80 | glick: that would be bad! | 06:31 |
| glick | mathematically its the same thing | 06:31 |
| jrib | glick: because that is not what you do | 06:31 |
| swuboo | glick: Because if it worked that way, the entire excersize would have no purpose. | 06:31 |
| Cpudan80 | glick: the functions are one way | 06:31 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: i can run any program just fine, just no desktop icons, or explorer windows | 06:31 |
| glick | Cpudan80, i mean of course you need the passphrase | 06:31 |
| glick | no? | 06:31 |
| ph0rensic | great... non working gparted wrecked grub... and didn't even resize the disk | 06:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: so nautilus is just not working, try restarting | 06:31 |
| Cpudan80 | glick: But if your passphrase is password --- how does that help? | 06:32 |
| swuboo | I've been having severe stability issues with Nautilus the last week or so. | 06:32 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: Already tried that | 06:32 |
| Cpudan80 | My passphrase could also be password | 06:32 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: What does the debug log say? | 06:32 |
| goose | does anyone know how I can lock Evolution so it can only be opened with a password? | 06:32 |

| Cpudan80 | glick: You can, but not directly | 06:33 |
| rara | virryc | 06:33 |
| astro76 | glick: the passphrase simply encrypts the private key to protect it in case it falls into the wrong hands, it has nothing to do with generating one from the other | 06:33 |
| mister | hi | 06:33 |
| icesword | hi | 06:33 |

| yu | hi | 06:34 |
| Cpudan80 | swuboo: hehehe - well sometimes it says more than that | 06:34 |
| yu | hi | 06:34 |
| glick | its a 2048 bit key that shouldnt take too long | 06:34 |
| glick | i have dual cores! | 06:34 |
| swuboo | Cpudan80: I'm sure, but mine just says that about two hundred times. | 06:34 |
| astro76 | glick: only a few hundred years | 06:34 |
| icesword | hahha | 06:34 |
| Cpudan80 | glick: 192 centuries to guess all possible 8 character passwords from a US keyboard | 06:35 |
| glick | astro76, heh more like a couple of trillions of years | 06:35 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: i dont see one | 06:35 |
| astro76 | glick: yes very true | 06:35 |
| Cpudan80 | glick: 2048 bit would be many more than 8 characters | 06:35 |
| Necrodrako | all i got is 2 folders, "Login" and my user folder "mike" | 06:35 |
| swuboo | Cpudan80: In fact, if the time stamps are accurate, Nautilus dumped that phrase to the log over a hundred times in under a second. | 06:35 |
| Cpudan80 | 192 decades, sorry | 06:35 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: all i got is 2 folders, "Login" and my user folder "mike" | 06:35 |
| Cpudan80 | scratch that idea then | 06:35 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: and no errors show up at all? | 06:36 |

| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: wait i found a debug log, not in home folder but in user | 06:37 |
| Cpudan80 | strange | 06:37 |
| Cpudan80 | what does it say? | 06:37 |
| baxter | I'm afraid i'm here with a very stupid problem | 06:37 |
| Cpudan80 | baxter: there is no such thing as stupid question | 06:37 |
| lyte | agreed | 06:38 |
| Cpudan80 | Just very dumb ones ;-) | 06:38 |
| Rael | does anyone else have issue with copy and paste in linux. I have noticed this in both fedora and ubuntu. the system acts like a jive turkey when you try to copy....like the text won't stay highlighted, or right click copy won't work you have to do it from File-Copy | 06:38 |
| lyte | well everything looks silly once you find the solution :p | 06:38 |
| baxter | when you've spent four hours trying to edit the xorg.conf correctly it starts to feel that way | 06:38 |
| swuboo | lyte: That is so, entirely, not true. | 06:38 |
| Cpudan80 | baxter: ok... what are you editing it for? | 06:38 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: the log is filled with the same thing over and over "0x8177510 2008/02/16 00:24:46.9851 (USER): debug log dumped due to signal 11" | 06:39 |
| Cpudan80 | normally you want to avoid doing that | 06:39 |
| lyte | Rael: you know there's kind of two copy/pastes in most linux installs right? selecting and middle clicking and ctrl+c/v | 06:39 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: is this a fresh install of ubuntu or...? | 06:39 |
| Necrodrako | iCpudan80: i installed 2 days ago | 06:39 |

| baxter | well my montor is widescreen 1360x768 but it doesn't seem to want to work at that resolution | 06:41 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: installed programs, virtualbox, compiz-fusion, amarok, DeVeDe, timevault, wine, skype, ktorrent, thunderbird | 06:41 |
| swuboo | Baxter: That's an odd aspect ratio. | 06:41 |
| Cpudan80 | does your gfx card support that resolution? | 06:41 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: just basic programs | 06:41 |
| Rael | middle click? what if you only have two mouse buttons | 06:41 |

| Cpudan80 | jscinoz: have you tried using the drivers provided by ubuntu? | 06:42 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: ive not even launched devede yet | 06:42 |
| jscinoz | those are the ones im using now | 06:42 |
| jscinoz | the 100.14.19 | 06:42 |
| Cpudan80 | oh | 06:42 |
| astro76 | baxter: I know but most widescreen pc monitors are actually 16:10, like 1280x768, 1440x900, etc.. | 06:42 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: do you use windows at all? | 06:42 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: on the machine in question that is | 06:43 |
| jscinoz | according to glmark, this driver scores 732, the 169 scores 747, not too much of adifference | 06:43 |
| jscinoz | its still too low though | 06:43 |
| swuboo | Baxter: Is that 16:9? My back-of-envelope work was like 17.7:10. Which, I guess would make sense. | 06:43 |
| baxter | yes i know trust me to be difficult, it's a LG Flatron M2343A there is a thread on forums but no responses | 06:43 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: i have dual boot, yes. But i also have not booted into windows since i installed ubuntu | 06:43 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: Do you ever have random blue screens in Windows? | 06:43 |
| baxter | yes 16:9 | 06:43 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: Moreso than would be expected that is | 06:44 |
| swuboo | Baxter: I'm using 1680x1050, lemme see what my xorg.conf looks like. | 06:44 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: i havent had a bluescreen in months | 06:44 |
| * jscinoz cries over his graphics card sucking | 06:44 | |
| astro76 | baxter: as I suspected it's a lcd tv ;) | 06:44 |
| MrPiracy | does anyone have any idea of how to get to open websites specially designed for IE? I tried to install ies4linux but it doesn't really work. Besides the fact it gets too slow to download pages, it doesn't even let me open the properties box | 06:44 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: it's possible that Ubuntu is exercising a portion of your memory that windows does/has not | 06:44 |
| jscinoz | Are there any known issues with 8series cards under linux? | 06:44 |
| soulc | blah | 06:44 |
| baxter | thankyou, the only things that have produced any real change other than squashed distortion have turned the screen into a mess of pixels | 06:44 |
| mouseboyx | MrPiracy, use the user agent switcher for firefox | 06:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: I would run memtest86+ (its an option on startup at the grub screen) to see if your memory checks out | 06:45 |
| mouseboyx | MrPiracy, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 | 06:45 |
| IcemanV9 | MrPiracy: use user agent switcher | 06:45 |
| MrPiracy | mouseboyx: what is it? | 06:45 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: ill go do that now | 06:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: Im assuming you installed those programs by apt-get btw | 06:45 |
| baxter | yes it is but it has a dvi connection | 06:45 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: ill be back | 06:45 |
| mouseboyx | it changes firefox to appear as IE | 06:45 |
| mouseboyx | to the website | 06:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: If you didn't -- then it could be that one of those installs is bad | 06:45 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: that thing is gonna take a while | 06:46 |
| Cpudan80 | probably several hours | 06:46 |
| baxter | I know it works at that resolution with this graphics card because i'm dual booting | 06:46 |
| swuboo | Baxter: Interestingly, 1680x1050 isn't listed under modes, just under "metamodes" | 06:46 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: all apt, except i installed skype via .deb package | 06:46 |
| MrPiracy | mouseboyx: aw... ok, i'll have a look | 06:46 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: hrm... I dont think that would do it | 06:46 |
| baxter | where does that appear in the tree? | 06:46 |
| lyte | MrPiracy: a browser has something called a user agent it sends to the server which tells the server what type of browser it is, if you change it to an ie string the server will send back ie code, which may or may not help you | 06:46 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80 im going to go test memory now | 06:46 |

| astro76 | argh | 06:48 |
| astro76 | !bootsplash | prettyricky | 06:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about bootsplash - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:48 |
| astro76 | !usplash | 06:48 |
| ubotu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 06:48 |

| marupa | All right. I'm really close to done now...I'm trying to get a java add-in to work with 32b firefox under 64b ubuntu. java works fine in 64b linux, and sees the add-in. java plugin works fine in 32b firefox...however, java plugin in 32b firefox doesn't see the add-in. Any way to point 32b firefox to where it can see the plugin properly? | 06:50 |
| LimCore | lyte: all failed me so far | 06:50 |
| LimCore | is the a program in linux, that can show a .png or .jpg image - without no stupid menus, editors etc etc, just SHOW it in a SIMPLE window, nothing more | 06:50 |
| swuboo | LimCore: Er... Nautilus? | 06:51 |
| LimCore | swuboo: no menus no nothing. JUST the image, nothing more | 06:51 |
| ere4si | LimCore, try the gthumb image viewer | 06:51 |
| astro76 | LimCore: display, part of imagemagick | 06:52 |
| lyte | LimCore: why do you want to get rid of the menus etc? | 06:52 |
| fuffalo | what are some good companies that sell ubuntu on laptops directly? | 06:53 |
| sd32 | dell | 06:53 |
| lyte | dunno about good but i believe dell does | 06:53 |
| ere4si | he asked for good companies | 06:53 |
| lyte | yeh i know but... | 06:53 |
| swuboo | ere4si: I'm not sure there are any others. | 06:53 |
| squarebracket | i'm trying to install a driver, and it needs the linux source, and i've tried just about all linux packages (for generic), but it's still saying not found... any ideas? | 06:53 |
| russ | fuffalo I bought the dell 1420 with ubuntu 7.04 feisty preloaded | 06:53 |
| baxter | so from what i can see i just need a line saying ' Option "MetaModes", "1360x768" ' | 06:53 |
| ere4si | not that I know of swuboo | 06:53 |
| Cpudan80 | squarebracket: kernel-source | 06:54 |
| fuffalo | russ, everything workin well? | 06:54 |
| glick | that blows chucks that i lost my priv key | 06:54 |
| [dcr] | Hey I'm on the LiveCD and I need to edit files on the HDD and it says I don't have enough permission, how would I go about getting that permission? | 06:54 |
| LimCore | lyte: I need it as a splash | 06:54 |
| LimCore | to be visible all the time on display | 06:54 |
| russ | fuffalo pretty much although I have not been able to get the external microphone input to work, or the line in. | 06:54 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, i installed the 100.14.19 nvidia driver via synaptic, however now the entire desktop experience is PAINFULLY slow - it takes >1 second to switch between tabs in Firefox... or 2-3s to minimize a window. This is partially remedied when I use Metacity as opposed to Beryl or Compiz, but it's still slower than when using the Vesa or nv driver. any ideas? I still need the nvidia driver for 3d, but there must be some way to | 06:54 |
| jscinoz | make it faster. | 06:54 |
| Cpudan80 | squarebracket: you also need build-essential | 06:54 |
| russ | fuffalo dell has a linux support line but I've never called it | 06:55 |
| Rael | what is python | 06:55 |
| russ | fuffalo also I have tried fruitlessly to get a second monitor to work | 06:55 |
| Cpudan80 | Rael: scripting language | 06:55 |
| Cpudan80 | Rael: like perl, php | 06:55 |
| ere4si | Rael: a programming language | 06:55 |
| russ | Rael also a very large snake | 06:55 |
| Rael | do I need it running | 06:55 |
| fuffalo | it shouldn't be running | 06:56 |
| Rael | lol | 06:56 |
| fuffalo | unless you've asked it to | 06:56 |
| russ | Rael snakes don't run | 06:56 |
| russ | they slither | 06:56 |
| Rael | I just saw it taking up like 30% of my cpu | 06:56 |
| squarebracket | Cpudan80, no kernel-source package, but it looks like i didn't have build-essential installed which i thought i did, let me try it now. | 06:56 |
| Rael | lol | 06:56 |
| russ | it might be constricting your performance | 06:57 |
| [dcr] | Hey I'm on the LiveCD and I need to edit files on the HDD and it says I don't have enough permission, how would I go about getting that permission? | 06:57 |
| Whtiger | oh noes | 06:57 |
| Rael | lmao | 06:57 |
| Cpudan80 | squarebracket: that might not be the package name (kernel-source) | 06:57 |
| fuffalo | russ, the only thing i don't like is they only have integrated video in their linux laptops...i assume because they dont want driver headaches | 06:57 |
| ere4si | Rael: lots of linux apps are written in python | 06:57 |
| === drone4four_ is now known as Invert314 | ||
| Rael | it was using 100 cpu | 06:58 |
| russ | fuffalo well the built-in monitor is just great - 1440x900 nice looking display | 06:58 |
| Rael | I just killed it | 06:58 |
| Invert314 | ehm | 06:58 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: it got through the memtest no problems, now i'm back on and everything is working again... | 06:58 |
| fuffalo | russ i meant the video card itself, not the monitor | 06:58 |
| Rael | one was sleeping and one was very much active | 06:58 |
| fuffalo | does it play movies well? | 06:58 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: weird | 06:58 |
| squarebracket | Cpudan80, kernel-package, maybe? | 06:58 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan:i wonder what could have cased that | 06:58 |
| russ | fuffalo I suspect the problem with a second monitor might be that I have an oddball monitor | 06:58 |
| Invert314 | i can't autocomplete /usr or even / at the command line | 06:58 |
| Cpudan80 | squarebracket: maybe, it has kernel in the name iirc | 06:58 |
| Invert314 | why is that? | 06:58 |
| squarebracket | Cpudan80, (there's also linux-source) | 06:58 |
| russ | fuffalo the video is nothing special but i don't do anything that requires it | 06:59 |
| Rael | hey when I kiled it my gdkeslets dissapear | 06:59 |
| Rael | noooooo | 06:59 |
| [dcr] | how do i edit a file in terminal? | 06:59 |
| Invert314 | i mean i can't autocomplete those directories with sudo at the beginning of the line | 06:59 |
| Invert314 | here: | 06:59 |
| Invert314 | sudo mv Desktop/Titan\ Pack/ /us | 06:59 |
| gmenelau | how can i update the synaptic ? | 06:59 |
| lyte | [dcr]: nano | 06:59 |
| Starnestommy | earlmred: gdesklets is python-based | 06:59 |
| Rael | are gdeskletes suppose to run python and slow down your pc | 06:59 |
| [dcr] | ty lyte | 06:59 |
| speeddemon8803 | is there any way to update the ipod nano firmware in ubuntu? | 06:59 |
| Starnestommy | whoops, sorry earlmred | 06:59 |
| Invert314 | it's as if / doesn't exist | 06:59 |
| Starnestommy | Rael: they're python-based | 06:59 |
| Rael | the gdeskletes are cool! are the going to make my system run like a jive turkey | 07:00 |
| LimCore | when I am in X, how to get the current x,y position of mouse cursor? (in example to save it to a file)? (or better yet, how to draw something there when the mouse cursor is, so that it will be visible in a screenshot)? | 07:00 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: not that its really any of my business, but do you use any instant mesengers that i might add you on? | 07:00 |
| russ | Rael python is an interpreted language so to run a python-based application you need to run the python interpreter | 07:00 |
| ere4si | Rael: I use gdesklets and don't have a cpu or mem hit from them | 07:00 |
| Rael | ok | 07:01 |
| LimCore | perhaps there is application-toy that shows some shape/icon/whatever "chasing" the mouse cursor? that would do too | 07:01 |
| Rael | I just saw it in system manager use 100% cpu | 07:01 |
| Rael | and pc was running slow | 07:01 |
| Cpudan80 | squarebracket: could be that one | 07:01 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: yes.... but why do you need it? | 07:01 |
| squarebracket | Cpudan80, it seemed to work with build-essential installed.. so thanks :) | 07:02 |
| ere4si | Rael: maybe one of the desklets isn't working/connecting like it should | 07:02 |
| Cpudan80 | squarebracket: np | 07:02 |
| Necrodrako | Cpudan80: i just figured you were nice enough, and it wouldnt hurt to be a friend. | 07:02 |
| Cpudan80 | Necrodrako: hehehe pm me and I'll give you the sn | 07:03 |
| Rael | looks like you were right | 07:03 |
| Rael | ironically it was the one I just installed to watch cpu usage | 07:03 |

| astro76 | Smegzor: no problem, there are a couple of other potentially usefull nautilus-* packages, like nautilus-actions | 07:22 |

| squarebracket | keith-, oh really, ok... hmm... have you tried a different program to play it? | 07:24 |

| astro76 | Smegzor: hmm probably log out and back into gnome | 07:24 |

| sp0ro| | Kismet is saying I need to set a user to drop down to in the kismet config. I already set the suiduser to my normal user and triple checked it was correct, yet it is still not working. Is the kismet config file for the dev version in a difference directory on Ubuntu than /etc/kismet/ ? | 07:26 |
| ph0rensic | Crap....Trying to partition my hd screwed it.. I have to do a zero fill on it now.. | 07:27 |
| McGod | ph0rensic: What did u do? | 07:27 |
| Schmao-Fmao | squarebracket, if you're referring to DVDs, NTSC refers only to the frame rate | 07:27 |
| Schmao-Fmao | For TV encoding NTSC is 525 scanlines | 07:28 |
| squarebracket | Schmao-Fmao, i was not, i was referring to the resolution of my tv :P.... ya, 525 scanlines | 07:28 |
| ph0rensic | McGod: I was trying to partition it and the partitioner failed and left grub out of whack .. then I tried to fix grub and then it just says the disk failed upon boot | 07:28 |
| squarebracket | Schmao-Fmao, the "effective resolution" is 720x480 though, right? | 07:28 |
| astro76 | squarebracket: yes 720x480, keep in mind that's displayed in a 4:3 ratio... the pixels are not square | 07:28 |
| McGod | :/ | 07:29 |
| skull-DT | quick question how do I check CPU temp?? | 07:29 |
| squarebracket | astro76, yup, will do... trying to get my old nvidia card to output to my tv, sigh. | 07:29 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: have u tried reinstalling grub? | 07:29 |
| ph0rensic | McGod: All this because i wanted another partition to test the 64 bit... | 07:29 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Yes I did | 07:29 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: i was about to say forget that question... so do you have an o/s installed? | 07:30 |
| McGod | Should I pre-make the parition for Ubuntu | 07:30 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: the partitioner wont read the disk | 07:30 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Nope .. Im gonna dual boot it as soon as the zero fill is done... | 07:30 |
| Rael | I cant get the rythembox applete to work either | 07:30 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: another long night | 07:30 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: so the partitioner on the live cd wont read it? | 07:31 |
| Schmao-Fmao | squarebracket, I believe so but I'm not sure | 07:31 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: yah .. interesting eh? | 07:31 |
| ere4si | Rael: it won't work - it's old rhythmbox went to dbus ages ago and the gdesklet still uses bonobo | 07:32 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: do you have any other live cds like maybe knoppix? | 07:32 |
| Schmao-Fmao | Anyone know if the Ubuntu Dapper LTS LiveCD uses a new kernel, or an old one? | 07:32 |
| ph0rensic | Luckily I have all my important stuff on another hdd | 07:32 |
| Schmao-Fmao | new as in 2.6.22 and old as in less than that :) | 07:32 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: No I was actually going to download a knoppix disc for the future though | 07:32 |
| astro76 | squarebracket: if you are going out to tv, 640x480 might be what you want | 07:32 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Im already going through the zero fill... it takes forever | 07:32 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: so how are u writing to the disc then? | 07:32 |
| McGod | brb booting to livecd | 07:33 |
| squarebracket | astro76, hmm, ok | 07:33 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Im using maxblast disc tool | 07:33 |
| ahorriblemess | Hi everyone | 07:33 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: u have windows on there? im guessing no? | 07:33 |
| ph0rensic | hey | 07:33 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: seems like a wast to do a zero fill to me | 07:33 |
| mkquist | *waste | 07:34 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Nope I never did, it was a full ubuntu install and I wanted to add a partition to test 64bit | 07:34 |
| ahorriblemess | I've been using a USB mouse on my laptop, I disabled my touchpad with a button above it, but when I switched it back on I lost control over configuring it (if I disable "tap to click" it doesn't work) | 07:34 |
| ahorriblemess | anyone have nay ideas? Do you tihnk a simple reboot would help? | 07:34 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Normally yes, but I cant get the disc to install anythig on it atm | 07:34 |
| astro76 | ahorriblemess: probably restarting X would help (ctrl+alt+backspace) | 07:34 |
| Rael | oh ok | 07:34 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: been a while since having to use maxblast, it doesnt have an option to just delete parts? | 07:34 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: Windows wont even install on it after I did a quick zero fill and set up new partitions | 07:34 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: maxtor drive? | 07:35 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: I tried.. yes it is a maxtor drive.. Ional also have a seagate disc for my seagate, but that drive is functi | 07:35 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: how old? | 07:35 |
| squarebracket | man, kde4 is so slick, even on windows :) | 07:35 |
| ere4si | Rael: I had to write some short scripts and add them to a panel to control rhythmbox while it is minimized | 07:35 |
| nix | BLUETOOTH mouse will only work after i unplug usb hub, ne one know a bypass? | 07:36 |
| Rael | are there any other media players that support applets | 07:36 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: A couple years.. have never had any problems with it before.. it all got jacked when I was trying to make partitions with gparted | 07:36 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: word to the wise (at least IMHO) step away from the Maxtors... | 07:36 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: personally havent had real good luck w/maxtors... | 07:36 |
| ere4si | Rael: xmms | 07:37 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: hehe well both my new drives are seagate. i keep my important stuff on there | 07:37 |
| Rael | thanks | 07:37 |
| kaboombob | any body know how to open or burn a ".img" file straight to a dvd? | 07:37 |
| Rael | I'll have to check it out | 07:37 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: im of the opinion thats a good thing.... good for u | 07:37 |
| ph0rensic | mkquist: except i have a maxtor external too.. that just holds some .iso's that i can get again if it fails | 07:37 |
| mkquist | ph0rensic: g/l w/ur zero fill/reinstall then | 07:38 |

| Gatorgrad | Forgive me for being a noob. How do I "Change to the directory where my CD-ROM drive is mounted and execute as root?" | 08:27 |
| === NSAGuy is now known as FBIGuy | ||
| cpk1 | Gatorgrad: "cd /media/cdrom" and then "sudo nameofexecutable" although a lot of things shouldnt need root... and you might need to do "sudo sh nameofexecutable" or "sudo ./nameofexecutable" | 08:28 |
| kim | System->Administration->Networking id like the one from dapper i think it was. most importantly, it had an autodetect button for dialup modems, which is gone in new releases. makes it a lot less noob-friendly without it. not only that, but gutsy doesnt detect the same dialup modem on ttys0 that dapper could. i also think the clear-cut 'enable' and 'disable' buttons in the networking window of dapper were a lot bette | 08:30 |
| kim | r than the tickboxes feisty has | 08:30 |
| Gatorgrad | cpk1: Looks like greek to me but I'll try it. I've installed Ubuntu 7.1 in virtualization using VirtualBox, and to install some of the VirtualBox features (variable screen resolution, etc) I need to run a command in root from the CD directory. | 08:30 |
| Andycasss | is there a way to autoupdate without user interference? | 08:31 |
| kim | i had to run an old dapper livecd to use dialup when my adsl went down the other day, because feisty just will not see my dialup modem. i dont think it should be that hard to use, with the tagline 'linux for human beings' | 08:31 |
| Gatorgrad | cpk1: The command I need to run in root on the CD is "sh ./VBoxAdditions.run" do I just put that after "sudo" ? | 08:32 |
| cpk1 | Gatorgrad: its either sh or ./ not both | 08:32 |
| cpk1 | Gatorgrad: it depends on what kind of executable it is | 08:33 |
| Gatorgrad | cpk1: Thanks again, I'll give it a try | 08:34 |

| astro76 | kim: so do so | 08:39 |
| cpk1 | Sadarax: I dont know anything about vnc, but that error means that X isnt being forwarded... ssh -XC user@host firefox doesnt work? | 08:40 |

| mykii_ | arent upgraded | 09:33 |

| prince_jammys | boris: that's one of the few things i do with a windows app... called cdex - free, runs under wine. but something non-windows should be available | 09:33 |
| rosebuntu | wholy crap kernel 2.6.** | 09:33 |
| boris | prince_jammys: i hope soundkonverter will do it. im in a hurry, no time to mess with wine | 09:34 |
| mykii_ | rosebuntu, yes and utility of vmsplice would be discuted | 09:34 |
| magnetron | prince_jammys: tried sound juicer? | 09:34 |
| prince_jammys | magnetron: no -- havent done much of that stuff recently | 09:35 |
| rosebuntu | only solution is reinstall new kernel | 09:35 |
| mykii_ | rosebuntu, yes but i will not have my packages updated | 09:35 |
| Jangari | wine bites anyway | 09:35 |
| mykii_ | this issue is due to the crap kernel ?! | 09:35 |

| ahmed | how to make a repository from the Ubuntu-DVD ISO image?? | 09:38 |
| alanbshepard70 | I need a little help. I was installing a package from a command line and when I put in the command quite unexpectedly 37 other packages were automatically marked for removal. When the prompt came up "Continiue y/n?" I put in no and it continued anyway. I hit ctrl+z to stop the operation but the wamerican package had already been removed before I could stop it. After re-installing the package I can't get spell checking as you go workin | 09:40 |
| prince_jammys | alanbshepard70: wamerican was the only package removed? | 09:43 |
| alanbshepard70 | prince_jammys: yes and I reinstalled it. I checked my apt logs and it's the only thing that actually got removed. | 09:44 |
| ahmed | how to make a repository from the dvd ISO image?? | 09:44 |
| alanbshepard70 | The spell checking as you go isn't working in firefox. I've gone through all my firefox settings and everything looks good. If I have spell checking on every word is now uderlined as if spelled incorrectly. It's missing a dictionary file somewhere I'm guessing but I don't know where else to look. | 09:45 |
| prince_jammys | ahmed: i'm not sure i understand your question, but look into the package "aptoncd" | 09:46 |
| wng- | is there a easy-to-install plugin for firefox so that I can play wmv files in the browser? | 09:46 |
| FluxD | Hi, How do I use find to search non case sensitive | 09:46 |
| alanbshepard70 | ahmed: --> System->Administration->Software Sources | 09:46 |
| ahmed | i know aptoncd | 09:46 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD command line or GUI? | 09:46 |
| FluxD | commandline | 09:46 |
| ahmed | i downloaded ubuntu dvd i want to use it as repository | 09:47 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, theres a gui for find? | 09:47 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: instead of -name, -iname ... there's gui's that search for files, though i don't know that they specifically use the command "find" | 09:47 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, gnome-search-tool ? | 09:48 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: are you familiar with the "find" command? | 09:48 |
| FluxD | yes prince_jammys thats what I was asking | 09:48 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: yes, gnome-search-tool is one | 09:48 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD : find /starting/path -iname 'nametofind' | 09:48 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, I want to use find and search for all cases of mysql, MYSQL, mySQL etc | 09:48 |
| FluxD | iname makes it case independent ? | 09:49 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: -iname is case insensitive, as opposed to -name | 09:49 |
| wng- | How can I get firefox to play wmv files in the browser | 09:49 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, default find is also case sensitive rifht? | 09:49 |
| alanbshepard70 | wng: I believe you need to install the mplayer plugin | 09:50 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: within the entire filesystem:: sudo find / -iname '*mysql*' or sudo find / -iname 'mysql*' | 09:50 |
| wng- | thanks alanbshepard70 | 09:50 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, ok ty | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: * if mysql is only part of the file name | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: an alternate way is :: locate filename <--- this searches a saved index of your file system and is faster, though less accurate if the index is not up to date | 09:52 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, thats what I was looking for! u already did sudo updatedb | 09:53 |
| cox377 | hey all | 09:53 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: i don't know how to make that one case insensitive, check man locate | 09:54 |
| FluxD | thx prince_jammys | 09:54 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: locate -i | 09:54 |
| cox377 | i've created a start up script, when i run it with ./script it works. I've made it executable and added to /etc/rc.d but it doesnt seem to run on start up. anyone got any ideas? | 09:54 |
| jhaig | Using Feisty and I cannot get the "Preferences" window in Firefox open. Can anyone help? This is a problem for me because I need to set it to use a proxy server. | 09:55 |
| prince_jammys | FluxD: locate -i mysql <--- * not necessary here | 09:55 |
| FluxD | prince_jammys, got it thanks that worked | 09:56 |

| piju | more better ? | 09:57 |
| piju | /etc/init.d is more better than /etc/rc.d ? | 09:57 |
| prince_jammys | silly as that is, i like it more than the slogan "for Human Beings" | 09:57 |
| rosebuntu_ | it's a moto such as 'gnu is not linux' | 09:57 |
| prince_jammys | like other linux is for freaks | 09:57 |
| mkquist | anyone have trouble with ubuntu-tweak? | 09:58 |
| prince_jammys | Ubuntu: "more better than linux", good slogan | 09:58 |

| alanbshepard70 | Does anyone here work with microcontrollers? Know of a linux PIC Micro C compiler? | 10:03 |

| alanbshepard70 | tricklen: What brand PC. Does it have a PCI, AGP or onboard video card? | 10:04 |
| tricklen | alanbshepard70: compaq/hp nx9020 laptop | 10:04 |
| tricklen | alanbshepard70: i'll have to check what graphics. most likely onboard | 10:05 |
| rosebuntu__ | hey guys~ recordmydesktop no manual | 10:05 |
| tricklen | alanbshepard70: budget model, 224mb ram | 10:05 |
| rosebuntu__ | no manual. i need manual | 10:05 |
| alanbshepard70 | if it's a laptop it an onboard vid card | 10:05 |

| tricklen | Skitt: it's not mine | 10:06 |
| Skitt | nasty ^^ | 10:06 |
| alanbshepard70 | tricklen: you've tried to boot normally and it doesn't work so you tried safe graphics mode correct? In safe graphics mode you can get to a desktop with no menu bars at all. Does the screen move around if you drag your cursor near the edge of the screen. | 10:06 |

| prince_jammys | simplg: describe exacty what you want -- you a want a line number or the content of the line -- and what is special about the line you want? | 10:09 |
| HinHin | Hi there | 10:10 |
| BernardB | magnetron, what command is an standard command for ffmeg, converting avi to mp4? | 10:10 |
| alanbshepard70 | tricklen: in my experience if a problem occurs with a live CD it will still occur on a full install. The one thing to hope for would be that after the install you could run updates and maybe one of the updates fixes your issue. | 10:10 |
| TheDesert | hey | 10:10 |

| foo | I'm on dapper and want to upgrade to the latest version of ubuntu. Anyway to do this without reinstalling? | 10:11 |
| foo | I've heard the upgrade past dapper doesn't go so smoothly. | 10:11 |
| HinHin | I'm trying to apt-get install something again, but it's asking to resolve dependcies... the thing i need to install a driver to get THAT computer online | 10:11 |
| kim | is it possible to force growisofs to burn to a dual layer dvd when the iso is below dvd5 size? | 10:11 |
| HinHin | so basicly the computer is offline | 10:11 |
| BernardB | rosebuntu, command not found? | 10:11 |
| astro76 | foo: you would be best served waiting until april to upgrade to 8.04 | 10:11 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, I want the content of the line with according to number | 10:11 |
| credible | foo: it will be possible to upgrade directly to hardy once it is released | 10:11 |
| astro76 | foo: otherwise you have to go through each version | 10:11 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, I want the content of the line according to number | 10:11 |
| HinHin | sudo apt-get autoremove or autoclean don't work, also apt-get remove -f doesn't work | 10:11 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: Download the dependancies on a internet connected computer and transfer the files to the computer with no net access | 10:12 |
| rosebuntu__ | install mencorder | 10:12 |
| alanbshepard70 | credible: Most likely yes. | 10:12 |
| HinHin | alanbshepard70, i have the offline deb files... but apt-get is telling me to apt-get install -f | 10:12 |
| HinHin | to resolve some depencies | 10:12 |
| HinHin | the thing i don't need that stuff | 10:13 |
| HinHin | i just to access to apt-get again | 10:13 |
| prince_jammys | simplg: i dont understand exactly what you need. you want to output lines that contain a specific text? | 10:13 |
| credible | alanbshepard70: eh? | 10:13 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: you need to put the .deb files in the right spot first. /var/cache/apt/ or sudo apt-get install /home/me/asdf.deb | 10:13 |
| prince_jammys | simplg: or text pattern? these questions are difficult to answer if you don't give a good description of what you need, and what your input file looks like -- and what you want to output | 10:14 |
| HinHin | alanbshepard70, so it's not possible to purge the stuff all together? | 10:14 |
| alanbshepard70 | credible: sorry I didn't read you correctly. I thought you were asking if you could upgrade to hardy from gutsy. My bad. | 10:14 |
| HinHin | i just want a working apt-get | 10:14 |
| nirma | hi all | 10:14 |
| HinHin | i don't care about what it's trying to resolve | 10:15 |
| foo | credible: I'd be able to upgrade directly to hardy once it is released.. by directly, you mean, without having to reinstall? | 10:15 |
| rosebuntu__ | HinHin / you need internet connection. it's the easiest way to solce the problem | 10:15 |
| credible | foo: yes, directly from dapper -> hardy | 10:15 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: purge together? I'm not sure what you mean. If you want to install all the files at once you can use sudo apt-get install packagea packageb .... blah | 10:15 |
| foo | credible: hmm. I see. And if I didn't, could I upgrade to fiesty (7.10) right now without having to reinstall? | 10:15 |
| HinHin | the thing is... XD i need to apt-get working SO i can get the driver installed to get the internet working for that comp rosebuntu | 10:15 |
| rosebuntu__ | dapper -> feisty ->gutsy ->hardy | 10:15 |
| rosebuntu__ | what next? | 10:16 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, ok. i need to output line in accordance with its number (number of line). | 10:16 |
| astro76 | !codenames | rosebuntu__ | 10:16 |
| ubotu | rosebuntu__: Ubuntu has awesome release codenames. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames for more | 10:16 |
| credible | foo: you'd have to upgrade to edgy, then feisty, then gutsy | 10:16 |
| glick | hey does anyone have any idea why, my new dell laptop says 15gigs are in use, when i cant see what is taking up that much space? | 10:16 |
| rosebuntu__ | i****? | 10:16 |
| prince_jammys | simpleg: you just want to add line numbers to every line in the file? | 10:16 |
| credible | foo: it will only be supported to go from Dapper to Hardy because they're both LTS releases | 10:16 |
| Filled-Void | HinHin, Id recommend using the above methods but once I was able to install using the dpkg command. However this wont resolve any dependencies issue so basically it could screw up pretty bad I think. I think the command was dpkg -i but you might want to check here | 10:16 |
| rosebuntu__ | ubiotu / thank you | 10:17 |
| frog | hallo | 10:17 |
| foo | credible: right. Yeah, I don't mind to go to edgy, then feisty, then gusty. Should that process go smoothly? | 10:17 |
| astro76 | Filled-Void, HinHin, dpkg -i won't screw up, it just won't install if there are unresolved dependencies | 10:17 |
| gold44 | is there a command to check the total disk space of a hard drive? df -h only showed formatted partitions | 10:17 |
| alanbshepard70 | foo: even if it's possible I wouldn't do it. I think you'd spend more time upgrading and putting things at risk than if you just downloaded and installed a fresh copy of the latest release. | 10:17 |
| credible | foo: no, that would take forever | 10:17 |
| astro76 | foo: I wouldn't recommend it | 10:17 |
| HinHin | astro76, yup | 10:18 |
| prince_jammys | simplg if that is what you want, you can do " cat -n filename " ---> try for example cat -n /etc/fstab | 10:18 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, sorry. i need to output content of line in accordance with its number (number of line). | 10:18 |
| Johnny123 | i | 10:18 |
| Filled-Void | astro76, Yeah but if any of them actually need something youre basically screwed no :x ? | 10:18 |
| HinHin | ;_;.. it realy should be a simple thing for apt-get | 10:18 |
| Johnny123 | "i | 10:18 |
| frog | kann mir einer helfen bin neu hier! | 10:18 |
| astro76 | foo: the upgrade process in general is working better since feisty | 10:18 |
| HinHin | basicly people trying to get their drivers working offline are screwed | 10:18 |
| Johnny123 | i-can-haz-cheeseburger?? | 10:18 |
| HinHin | if they make a mistake anyway | 10:18 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, no... this is not that... but thank you for you help | 10:19 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: Why can't the computer get net access? You're trying to use a wireless card? Does the computer have an ethernet port? I'm guessing no. | 10:19 |
| db92 | anyone who could help me config grub? bcos this is my brother's pc and i cant afford one myself, and "he doesnt want the bootloader" when it starts, is there someway to hide bootloader under normal circumstances and make it appear on keypress, or something relevant? :P | 10:20 |
| prince_jammys | simplg #bash, but they wont answer without a more specific description | 10:20 |
| HinHin | alanbshepard70, it's a special wireless device i'm trying to get to work | 10:20 |
| HinHin | it uses vodaphone's over the air mobile service | 10:20 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: does the computer not have an ethernet port? | 10:20 |
| HinHin | it does | 10:20 |
| HinHin | but it won't work | 10:20 |
| HinHin | it's not a land based connection a.k.a not cable, adsl etc | 10:21 |
| Tyczek | is adobe flash player fixed yet? | 10:21 |
| alanbshepard70 | Have you tried bridging net access from the computer that can connect to the one that can't? Do you have a router/switch? | 10:22 |
| Filled-Void | Tyczek, Think so otherwise it would have been in the Topic for the channel. At least it was earlier | 10:22 |
| HinHin | alanbshepard70, :( unfortunely that's not an option | 10:22 |
| Tyczek | Filled-Void, thanks ;) | 10:22 |

| rosebuntu__ | hey guys, you are changing the world | 10:23 |
| HinHin | alanbshepard70, that won't work either | 10:24 |
| rosebuntu__ | ^_________________________^ | 10:24 |
| Filled-Void | HinHin, yeah thats they wayI do my installs I download from a similar machine and then use Aptoncd and then just install them on my machine at home | 10:24 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: you've tried it and it failed or....? | 10:24 |
| HinHin | pretty much i just need to get apt-get to ignore some packages tempory | 10:24 |
| HinHin | the packages aren't there | 10:25 |
| rosebuntu__ | HinHin / type apt-get autoremove | 10:25 |
| HinHin | well... some are but they aren't up-to-date enough | 10:25 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: It needs those other packages for a reason. Your package most likely will not work without them | 10:25 |
| HinHin | it doesn't work | 10:25 |
| HinHin | :\ | 10:25 |
| HinHin | alanbshepard70, it looks like it :( | 10:25 |
| rosebuntu__ | HinHin / where are you from? are you Chinese? | 10:26 |
| HinHin | it's quite alot of depencies it wants | 10:26 |
| HinHin | i'm from australia :P | 10:26 |
| HinHin | yup and chinenese :P | 10:26 |
| HinHin | btw thanks for the help anyway alanbshepard70 rosebuntu__ ;) | 10:26 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: the computer you're on now, is it running ubuntu. You could make a script to download all the packages automatically instead of one by one. | 10:27 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: I'm going to test something for you to use, let me see if it will work. | 10:28 |
| HinHin | i'm using a windows pc atm | 10:28 |
| HinHin | thanks alanbshepard70 ;) | 10:28 |
| gad0 | doesnt gutsy repos include songbird... apt give no result ? | 10:31 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: Well to get a full list of dependencies you can use synaptic to mark all the downloads you need then goto "file-> generate package download script" and you will get a full list of the packages you need plus links. I guess the problem is that windows has no way of downloading these one by one for you, that I know of anyway. | 10:31 |
| TuxCrafter | hello guys | 10:31 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, ok. I found that option. This is "sed -n Np" where N is the line number | 10:32 |
| TuxCrafter | anybody experiencing shutdown problems> | 10:32 |
| TuxCrafter | ? | 10:32 |
| n2diy | Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously? | 10:32 |
| HinHin | ah alanbshepard70 yea thought about that | 10:32 |
| HinHin | :( oh wells | 10:32 |
| prince_jammys | simplg good, sorry -- i never knew what you wanted | 10:32 |
| HinHin | I'll just go download the dependencies one by one | 10:32 |
| lyte | TuxCrafter: why don't you ask a more specific question, or actually outline your problem? | 10:32 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, never mind. in any case thanks :) | 10:34 |
| TuxCrafter | anybody experincing a hang after sudo shutdown -h now i got two pc's that will not powerdown, it seems like all software is killed but it just wont fiscal powerdown? | 10:34 |
| alanbshepard70 | HinHin: This is a possibly silly way to do it but you could generate the download script, open it and replace wget -c with nothing and then you have just a file of links. If you open it with firefox and use an extension like downthemall you can have it download all the packages with one click and the resume dl function. | 10:34 |
| astro76 | HinHin, alanbshepard70, actually you can get wget for windows, either natively compiled or cygwin | 10:35 |
| alanbshepard70 | astro76: well there you go even better HinHin. | 10:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | How do I lock down my desktop? I have all my panels setup just the way I like, and now I want to prevent the creation/deletion/moving of panels. I also want to prevent the editing of panels, adding, removing, etc. It's just the way I like it, but sometimes I slip or something and my panel moves, or a new panel is created when I maybe hit a shortcut I don't know about. | 10:35 |
| astro76 | HinHin: with cygwin you have the benefit of the shell also, for the script | 10:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | I think I need to change the permissions on a file to read only... but I'm not sure what file. | 10:36 |
| foo | ls | 10:36 |
| HinHin | lol awesome idea guys | 10:36 |
| HinHin | XD | 10:36 |
| n2diy | TuxCrafter: Yes, both of my IBM Multipros do this. | 10:36 |
| foo | err, who was I talking to in here about upgrading? | 10:36 |
| HinHin | i've got Damm small linux running of cgwin | 10:36 |
| HinHin | *on | 10:37 |
| prince_jammys | simplg i see now, you wanted to print only a specified line in your file | 10:37 |
| HinHin | oh wait... never mind | 10:37 |
| TuxCrafter | n2diy: how long? my behavior was starting this last few days | 10:37 |
| prince_jammys | simplg you give the line number, and it prints only that line ..... understood | 10:37 |
| simplg | prince_jammys, I'm from Russia. This is complex for me to describe the problem. I talk on English very bad. | 10:38 |
| TuxCrafter | n2diy: wicked i just tested my laptop here and now it is shuting down again | 10:38 |
| n2diy | TuxCrafter: Since forever, I normally don't shut down, and it is 1996 hardware, so it was never an issue here. | 10:38 |
| prince_jammys | simplg i understand now ... you say line 3 and it prints only line 3 | 10:38 |
| TuxCrafter | maybe got someting to do with sshfs | 10:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | simplg: There should be a russian channel | 10:38 |
| foo | Is it possible to upgrade from dappeer to fiesty? | 10:38 |
| astro76 | foo: dapper > edgy > feisty | 10:39 |
| gad0 | how do i install songbird ? | 10:39 |
| gad0 | !songbird | 10:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:39 |
| foo | astro76: thanks, is it possible via upgrade? I heard there were issues for upgrade from dapper to edgy. Am I right? | 10:39 |
| n2diy | TuxCrafter: A laptop eh? My boxes are servers, they don't like to be shut down. I'd bet your laptop likes to hibernate? Sounds like an APM issue? | 10:40 |
| astro76 | foo: perhaps, as I mentioned before, my general sense is that upgrades are working flawlessly only since feisty | 10:40 |
| foo | astro76: ok, so I may run into an issue? | 10:40 |
| simplg | ArthurArchnix, Us channel has very little people. Sorry. | 10:41 |
| astro76 | foo: I really couldn't say | 10:41 |
| astro76 | foo: if you want to be certain, follow everyone's recommendation and wait for dapper > hardy ;) | 10:42 |
| rosebuntu__ | hey guys~ i love you | 10:42 |
| astro76 | and as always, backup | 10:42 |
| foo | astro76: ah, ok, I'll just do that I suppose. | 10:42 |
| rosebuntu__ | i love ubuntu. i love ubuntu users | 10:43 |
| astro76 | foo: if I wanted to upgrade to gutsy now, from dapper, I woudl clean install, no question | 10:43 |
| foo | astro76: good call, thanks | 10:43 |
| foo | rosebuntu__: uh, what? | 10:43 |
| foo | err, my system just started acting weird. keystrokes are all messed up. It's like my keyboard is dying. I plugged in another one, same issue. This is weird. | 10:44 |

| francesco | Hello, guys. I have a problem. I can't open a wav file. I need DVI ADPCM codec. Where can i find it? Thank you. | 10:45 |
| astro76 | elkbuntu: he/she has been, yes | 10:45 |
| foo | Frogzoo: I have, 3 times. I'm kind of confused. *thinks* | 10:45 |
| divinemonkey_ | yes filled-void it gets the dependencies for you | 10:45 |
| astro76 | foo: no worries ;) | 10:45 |
| Filled-Void | divinemonkey_, thank you | 10:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | Does anyone know how to lock down a desktop, preventing changes to panels, creation of new panels, etc.... | 10:45 |
| elkbuntu | rosebuntu__, random chatter and expressions of gratitude generally fall into the offtopic category and are better served in #ubuntu-offtopic | 10:46 |
| francesco | Hello, guys. I have a problem. I can't open a wav file. I need DVI ADPCM codec. Where can i find it? Thank you. | 10:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | francesco: You can't open 'A' wav file, or ANY wav files? | 10:46 |
| Frogzoo | ArthurArchnix: search the ubuntu docs for those instructions | 10:46 |
| bertvdp | hey, I could use some help configuring file sharing in samba, anyone here who can help ? | 10:47 |
| francesco | ArthurArchnix: Any wave file, of course, that need that codec. | 10:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | Frogzoo: I have been. Forums too. | 10:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | !mediabuntu | francesco | 10:47 |
| PKsteR | How come every time I sart Ubunu there is a nautilus log in my home folder? | 10:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mediabuntu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:47 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: this would be easy would be easy if there were separate config files for the panel... it uses gconf however | 10:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | !medibuntu | francesco | 10:47 |
| ubotu | francesco: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 10:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | francesco: The instructions you need are on that page. | 10:48 |
| jordie | how come my hard drives dont always mount when i boot? | 10:48 |
| n2diy | Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously? | 10:48 |
| traxdata | hello | 10:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: I see. | 10:48 |
| francesco | ArthurArchnix: Can I install the codec using synaptic manager? | 10:48 |
| traxdata | can somebody help me? | 10:48 |
| traxdata | i'm windows xp user now and want to install ubuntu | 10:48 |
| traxdata | need help, please | 10:48 |
| jordie | lol | 10:48 |
| foo | traxdata: yes, ask your question | 10:48 |
| jordie | do you have the cd? | 10:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | francesco: Yes, but first you need to follow the directions on that page, and add a new repository that synpatic can use. | 10:48 |
| foo | traxdata: Welcome to IRC. Never ask to ask | 10:49 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: I'd help if I had a clue, perhaps there is a way to lock individual keys or subtrees in gconf | 10:49 |
| francesco | ArthurArchnix: Excuse me, but, what is a repository? | 10:49 |
| traxdata | jordie, yes, i have ubuntu live CDs 6.06 | 10:49 |
| prince_jammys | francesco: a server that contains packages for you to download and install | 10:49 |
| jordie | do you plan on having xp running aswell? | 10:49 |
| bertvdp | ArthurArchnix, normally you get all codecs if you install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras | 10:50 |
| astro76 | traxdata: I'd highly recommend getting the latest 7.10 | 10:50 |
| traxdata | why? | 10:50 |
| traxdata | isn't it ok to use 6.06? | 10:50 |
| ArthurArchnix | francesco: Repositories are sources of programs, packages, updates, etc. Ubuntu has a few setup by default to take care of your system, and let you add new programs. Some programs can't be included in these repositories due to legal reasons. So you need to manually add them. | 10:50 |
| mous16 | where i can find the latest sources of emerald? there is anofficial site for emerald? | 10:50 |
| francesco | Ok, I'll try this way. Thank you very much. | 10:50 |
| bertvdp | traxdata, 7.10 is more up to dat, it supports more hardware, has more features and is better supported through IRC (but not if you have commercial support) | 10:51 |
| traxdata | bertvdp, i'm bulgarian | 10:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | bertvdp: I used to use that as well, but dvd playback isn't found in that anymore (if it ever was) so it turns out its necessary to add the medibuntu repository anyway. For me, and anyone else who wants to play dvd's. And if I recall correctly, the restricted-extras contains java5, I like to manually add 6. But franceso may like to hear about that option. | 10:51 |
| n2diy | traxdata: 6.06 is Long Term Support (LTS) so it better be ok!? | 10:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: No worries. I'll let you know if I find anything. ;) | 10:52 |
| traxdata | and i've waited for these CDs longer | 10:52 |
| bertvdp | !ubuntu-bu | traxdata | 10:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-bu - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:52 |
| babo | I've done a screen-capture recording, but the problem is that the sound kinda sucks. There's this background noise level. What can I do ? | 10:52 |
| astro76 | traxdata: ah well in that case go ahead and use it, you can upgrade later | 10:52 |
| bertvdp | ArthurAchnix, it still is, you only have to call the libdvdcss creating command ;) | 10:52 |
| jordie | WTB: a life | 10:53 |
| alanbshepard70 | babo: did you capture the audio from your mic? is that what you were intending to record? | 10:53 |
| babo | alanbshepard70, yeah - from the mic. It's a voice recording | 10:53 |
| babo | I'm talking over the presentation ... | 10:53 |
| bertvdp | !libdvdcss | ArthurAchnix | 10:54 |
| ubotu | ArthurAchnix: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 10:54 |
| ArthurArchnix | bertvdp: Huh... well I might go back to it if that's the case. It was my one big gripe. What do you mean, call the libdvdcss creating command. | 10:54 |
| alanbshepard70 | babo: noise comes from the outside or by your audio card. My suggestion would be a better mic or a quiter room or both. | 10:54 |
| traxdata | my computer is very weak but soon i gonna buy a new one so it'll be temporary | 10:54 |
| n2diy | traxdata: BUt, just because 6.06 is LTS, doesn't mean we'll find the support here, everyone here is a volunteer. | 10:54 |
| babo | alanbshepard70, a better mic ? hmm | 10:54 |
| traxdata | listen, listen to me | 10:54 |
| TuxCrafter | thanks for the info | 10:54 |
| toto | i can't umount my cdrom after i have read some videos on it. It's busy by dbus-launch and dbus-daemon | 10:55 |
| alanbshepard70 | babo: are you just using a built in mic or a cheapo one? | 10:55 |
| bertvdp | ArthurArchnix, libdvdread contains dvd support, but for encrypted DVDs you need to enable libdvdcss (which is illegal but nececary to play dvds), I'll search the command, 2 min. | 10:55 |
| TuxCrafter | i have to go now | 10:55 |
| TuxCrafter | bye | 10:55 |
| babo | alanbshepard70, cheapo one ... | 10:55 |
| traxdata | i just want to keep my music and some files from WinXP after installing ubuntu | 10:55 |
| ArthurArchnix | bertvdp: Oh... you mean just do that one command, the wget, keyadd, install libdvd... yeah. But you're still going to medibuntu to get it. That's all I was trying to say. You're right though, there's technically no need to add the medibuntu repository. | 10:55 |
| babo | alanbshepard70, how much is a good mic these days ? | 10:55 |
| n2diy | Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously? | 10:55 |
| traxdata | that's possible, isn't it? | 10:55 |
| babo | it'd need to have a 'walkman' type connection to fit into my computer ... | 10:56 |
| bertvdp | ArthurArchnix, no, I don't mean that, give me 2 min. I'll search it on ubuntuforums | 10:56 |
| babo | what's that connection type called ? | 10:56 |
| onats | is there a way to have both my ethernet and my wireless active at the same time? | 10:56 |
| traxdata | can somebody help mee?? | 10:57 |
| bertvdp | ArthusArchnix, if you call this it installs libdvdcss: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 10:57 |
| bertvdp | ArthurArchnix, if you call this it installs libdvdcss: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 10:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | bertvdp: After you install "ubuntu-restricted-extras" if you do that it adds dvd playback support? | 10:58 |
| traxdata | i just want to keep my music and some files from WinXP after installing ubuntu | 10:58 |
| traxdata | that's possible, isn't it? | 10:59 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: no still no libdvdcss2 | 10:59 |
| bertvdp | ArthurArchnix, yes indeed | 10:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | bertvdp: Nice. Thanks for that. | 10:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | I'll give it a try on my next reinstall. | 10:59 |
| bertvdp | astro76: install ubuntu-restricted-extras, then open a terminal and call this: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh | 10:59 |
| alanbshepard71 | babo: sorry my irc client just freaked. What I was going to say is that if this is a one time need I wouldn't spend the money on a new mic myself. | 10:59 |
| astro76 | bertvdp: yes I understand what he meant now | 11:00 |
| bsdnewb07 | hey guys, how can i check if i had 2 hdds installed, as it looks like i only have one installed? | 11:00 |
| babo | alanbshepard70, what would you do then ? | 11:00 |
| bertvdp | bsdnewn07, just check it using gparted or call a blkid or fdisk -l command (if your a command-line guy) | 11:00 |
| astro76 | bsdnewb07: sudo fdisk -l | 11:00 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: it's a script that does what you described, cat and see | 11:00 |
| Frogzoo | bsdnewb07: for x in a b c d ; do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sd$x ; done | 11:01 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: wget, etc | 11:01 |
| glick | hey how can i see what services are active on my ubuntu syste,? | 11:01 |
| glick | like if any servers are running | 11:01 |
| alanbshepard71 | babo: goto a silent room with all fans and speakers off except maybe headphones to hear yourself talk and then record your presentation. If it still sounds unpleasant use audio software to "fix up" the audio. | 11:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: astro76 The OP was looking for instructions on wav support. I'd steered him away from ubuntu-restricted-extras because its available from medibuntu and since I thought you needed that to use medibuntu for dvd playback. bertvdp was kind enough to correct me. Unfortunately, the op is no longer here to benefit. :) | 11:01 |
| bsdnewb07 | ah brilliant, they are installed | 11:02 |
| glick | how can i stop services? | 11:02 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: hehe | 11:02 |
| babo | alanbshepard70, k thanks | 11:02 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: oh i know , i was just talking about the install.sh script and what it does | 11:02 |
| bsdnewb07 | can 2 hdds be merged into 1 so 2 x 80 gives me 160gb of storage? - for things like vmware? | 11:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: Ah... yeah, I'm gonna check that out come Hardy time. | 11:02 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: i just looked at it | 11:02 |
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: if you installed the second drive and configured it to be additional storage you will notice that your home folder has the free space of both your install drive and the other drive as well. Ubuntu/linux ties them together in most cases. | 11:03 |
| tricklen | i get no menu bar on the live cd | 11:03 |
| tricklen | can't do anything | 11:03 |
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: is that the case? | 11:03 |
| tricklen | should i try changing screen resolution? | 11:03 |
| astro76 | bsdnewb07: I believe you can do that with LVM | 11:03 |
| bsdnewb07 | ill check | 11:03 |
| bsdnewb07 | 2 ticks | 11:03 |
| tricklen | and, how do i do that if i can't get to the menubar? | 11:04 |
| tricklen | and alt + f2 doesn't work? | 11:04 |

| family | oo thank ya | 11:05 |
| maxiounet | oh | 11:05 |
| maxiounet | sorry | 11:05 |
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: not fdisk, if you look at the status bar of your home folder what does it show as free space? Even right click a file and hit properties, both will tell you. | 11:05 |
| maxiounet | bye | 11:05 |

| family | im going to look at gnash | 11:07 |

| egg_dm | db92: there are wayst to get 32 bit apps to run on 64 bit machines, but it takes some mojo and something called chroot (I think) | 11:07 |
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: sure | 11:07 |
| jscinoz | Hey guys, im using xserver-xgl as it gives makes desktop things much smoother, however if i run any games while using xserver-xgl, the shading in many games is messed up and they have lower framerates, i can run the games with DISPLAY=:0 and they run fine, but i lose desktop integration features, is there any way to run them properly on xserver-xgl? | 11:08 |
| tricklen | is there really no way to get the menu bar showing? | 11:08 |
| egg_dm | family: you may have to download a package that contains it. | 11:08 |
| astro76 | family: ffplay is part of ffmpeg | 11:08 |
| tricklen | alt + f2 isn't working either | 11:08 |
| db92 | egg_dm: i know tis tough, i just need some kind of guide to make it work :P | 11:08 |
| tricklen | what should i do? | 11:08 |
| Filled-Void | db92, Ah ok. Usually theres a 64 bit equivalent or its 32 bit works or as said above you can force architecture or something which is way beyond me | 11:08 |
| astro76 | family: if you type a command in a terminal that you don't have, the message will tell you what to install to get it ;) | 11:08 |
| egg_dm | family: and astro76 said it. Install ffmpeg and you should be fine | 11:08 |
| bremby | hi, can I set a different keymap in the login screen? | 11:08 |
| family | aww | 11:09 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen: you could try the text-only install if a graphical install keeps failing for you | 11:09 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: hmm... the installation will go fine i suppose | 11:09 |
| family | im running ubuntu 6.06 i typed in sudo apt-get install ffplay :) | 11:09 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen: then install gnome/kde from there | 11:09 |
| Dogga | .... | 11:09 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: but what should i do when i've installed ubuntu | 11:09 |
| db92 | Filled-Void: if i have app src, is there a way to compile for it to work on x64? | 11:09 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: i still get no menu bar i suppose | 11:09 |
| egg_dm | family: mplayer ought to be able to play .flv files as well, now that I think about it | 11:10 |
| family | k | 11:10 |
| family | :) | 11:10 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen: you mean you have already installed ubuntu and get no menu bar, or are still trying to install from live cd? | 11:10 |
| Filled-Void | db92, Yes Im sure here was a trick to do that. I recall the 64 bit forums on Ubuntuforums having those instructions although I havent personally usaed it. IM on 64 bit though | 11:10 |
| egg_dm | family: and mplayer is a much better video player than ffplay IMHO | 11:10 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: live cd | 11:11 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: what more could i do when i've installed the thing? | 11:11 |
| Dogga | Hello. Has anyone got video streaming (not flash) working in firefox-3.0 ?? | 11:11 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: that i can't do now | 11:11 |
| db92 | Filled-Void: so you just use apps not i386 based? >> | 11:11 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: i have this problem with fedora also | 11:11 |
| family | k sounds good im going to try this right now :) | 11:11 |
| Filled-Void | db92, I think all I use is 64 based. But I recall ia32.lib being used. | 11:12 |
| alanbshepard71 | family: with the right codecs installed totem (the built in player for gutsy) plays any file type I throw at it just fine. | 11:12 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: to you think it could have something to do with screen resolution | 11:12 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen: if you install the base system first and then install the desktop, i assume things should work from there... | 11:12 |
| family | thats what im trying to find right now :) | 11:12 |
| family | the right codec | 11:12 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: i'm sure i'm seing the whole screen as the mouse pointer hits the edges of top and bottom of the screen | 11:12 |
| family | so ill install ffmpeg an see if it works if not ill ask again:P | 11:13 |
| family | thank you guys for your help | 11:13 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen: i don't know --- sometimes related to hardware, RAM --- because with the live CD you are running the whole desktop from CD | 11:13 |
| egg_dm | family: welcome | 11:13 |
| tricklen | prince_jammys: thanks, i'll be back | 11:13 |

| prince_jammys | prince_jammys: i have had this problem, but don't know the solution -- ended up installing console only and then installed graphical desktop by hand | 11:13 |
| fdsafds | is there a keyboard command i can hit to run xkill | 11:13 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: alt + f2 | 11:14 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen: i have had this problem, but don't know the solution -- ended up installing console only and then installed graphical desktop by hand | 11:14 |
| fdsafds | last time i do an alt+fx i went into a run level 3 looking thing even tho the other was running in the background still playing music | 11:14 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen you will need to install the X server and then gnome or KDE -- check the internet for howto, unless someone here knows | 11:14 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: that was ctrl + alt + f1 through f6 for the virtual consoles | 11:15 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: ctrl + alt + f7 to get back from that | 11:15 |
| fdsafds | hmm, f7? | 11:15 |
| db92 | hm, i downloaded a linux driver for my soundcard (creative xfi xtrememusic) which was x86_64 and when i run installer it tells me "this is for 64 bit os only", something im doing wrong or? :P | 11:15 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: but what you want now is alt + f2 | 11:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: Found the setting to lock down panels | 11:16 |
| fdsafds | and that'll make my cursor turn into a little x to kill things? | 11:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | Woot! | 11:16 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: do tell | 11:16 |
| bsdnewb07 | alanbshepard71: did u get the pm? | 11:16 |
| fdsafds | or that'll give me a terminal | 11:16 |
| egg_dm | db92: are you running the 64 bit version of Ubuntu? | 11:16 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: that will bring a little box to type xkill in | 11:16 |
| db92 | wait, i have the suspicion i may have been a bit enough idiot to get confused and download 32 bit. how do i check? | 11:16 |
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti | ||
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: no | 11:16 |
| fdsafds | ok, well im hoping that works next time a wine app goes dead in full screen mode with window management turned off | 11:16 |
| prince_jammys | tricklen you can do it with a single command using apt-get install, but i don't remember the list of packages you need | 11:17 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: not sure about that one | 11:17 |
| egg_dm | db92: maybe in the package name? or just download again to make sure | 11:17 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: stuff like that you should learn how to switch to the previously mentioned virtual consoles, and kill the wine process from there | 11:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | In gconf, apps/panel/global/locked_down check it. Restart panel, and bamn, bob is your unyielding uncle. | 11:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | Now the girlfriend can't mess up my panels anymore. :) | 11:18 |
| astro76 | ArthurArchnix: ah pretty simple, I never really browsed around | 11:18 |
| fdsafds | o yeah astro that would work, so when im in the virtual console if i hit alt+f7 it'll bring me back ? | 11:18 |
| db92 | im certain im on 64bit ubuntu since the cd said ubuntu 7.10 amd64, yet the package doesnt work. weird :p | 11:18 |
| astro76 | fdsafds: yes | 11:19 |
| egg_dm | db92: and you're certain it's a 64 bit package? | 11:19 |
| db92 | ye, it says so in the readme | 11:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | astro76: Yeah. That's how it always is it seems. You want to do something.. can't can't can't, and just before you write a stern letter to the dumb developers you find there's a really simple solution. delete, don't send, don't save. Phew. | 11:19 |

| bsdnewb07 | because i have no idea if there even setup correctly | 11:33 |

| bsdnewb07 | cool, ill do some research into vgmerger | 11:34 |

| Dermooni | on system it says 'about GNOME' in the list, so guess im using that | 11:40 |
| dr-raku | Dermooni, so you're using gnome | 11:40 |
| sybariten | (origin of problems was that CenterICQ looked like a bag of puke when running SSH from Mac OS to Ubuntu....) | 11:40 |

| prince_jammys | lots of non-desktop related questions here (how to mount, etc) | 11:43 |
| ifireball | mdmkolbe|work: try simply using -X instead | 11:43 |
| ifireball | mdmkolbe|work: e.g. instead of -Y | 11:44 |
| mdmkolbe|work | ifireball: I get the same result | 11:44 |

| prince_jammys | larson9999: key combo to achieve what? | 11:45 |
| lyte | larson9999: power switch, it's not on the keyboard | 11:45 |
| ifireball | mdmkolbe|work: did you use "-X" on both connections? are you performing "su" or anything like that along the way? | 11:45 |
| egg_dm | family: Google is your friend. Just because *buntu doesn't have it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Somebody may have a .deb file afailable for it out there somewhere. | 11:46 |
| bildpunkt | hey how can i know which files a deb package has installed? | 11:46 |
| Trel | What are we looking for a .deb. of? | 11:46 |

| glick | hey is anyone running a sigmatel sound card? | 11:46 |
| larson9999 | prince_jammys, not exactly sure. the pitch that usually comes from the person telling me about it is if your mouse moves but nothing else does try this. i assume it knocks you back to the login screen. | 11:46 |
| egg_dm | Trel: family is looking for httpget for his system | 11:47 |

| dr-raku | bildpunkt, look for that deb in synaptic and right-click it; then select properties | 11:47 |
| lyte | larson9999: ctr+alt+backspace reboots the x application, nothing else is likely to work as far as i know | 11:47 |
| mdmkolbe|work | ifireball: All combinations of "-X" and "-Y" over the two connections produce the same result. | 11:47 |

| ifireball | mdmkolbe|work: slow solution: run ssh with -v (or -vvvvvvv ;) and try to figure out why it doesn't properly create the X authentication cookie | 11:50 |
| prince_jammys | larson9999: but you're able to type these messages? | 11:51 |
| adam | #ubuntu-de | 11:51 |
| lyte | larson9999: if you find it can you msg back in here on a line with my name on it? ta. | 11:51 |
| McGod | Realtek RTL8187B | 11:51 |
| larson9999 | prince_jammys, that's because i powered down. | 11:51 |
| prince_jammys | larson9999: there's also something along the lines of Ctrl SysRq R E U something along these lines (not exactly that <--) | 11:52 |
| lyte | larson9999: you're not thinking of the old shortcut for xkill, it displays a skull and cross bones for a mouse cursor, you click a dead window, hey presto machine go good? | 11:52 |
| bsdnewb07 | pvcreate /dev/sda1 | 11:52 |
| bsdnewb07 | Can't open /dev/sda1 exclusively. Mounted filesystem | 11:52 |
| bsdnewb07 | whats this mean? | 11:52 |
| Mushrooms | larson9999: that would be Alt sysrq REISUB | 11:52 |
| larson9999 | prince_jammys, yes, that sounds like it | 11:52 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: the man learns fast | 11:53 |
| mdmkolbe|work | ifireball: thanks. It may come down to using the quick solution (I do have work that needs to be done), but let me look at the slow solution for a moment. | 11:53 |
| Trel | McGod: Using ndiswrapper with the Win98 driver? | 11:53 |
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: I think it's because the drive is already mounted, that command will probably only work for a drive that is not mounted yet. | 11:53 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: thanks to a good teacher ^-^ | 11:53 |
| bsdnewb07 | ah i see | 11:54 |
| Mushrooms | larson9999: there was this site... i can't remember where it was, but one of the ways which it suggested for us to remember the order, was to think of it as BUSIER (backwards) | 11:54 |
| bsdnewb07 | so i could do umount /dev/sda1 | 11:55 |
| mjtunes | hi ive just built a pc and went to install ubuntu on it and getting this busybox v1.1.3 (debain 1;1.1.3-ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) | 11:55 |
| McGod | Trel: I've got the wireless card working ok, it's just getting WPA2 support | 11:55 |
| mjtunes | then got (initramfs) underneeth | 11:55 |
| prince_jammys | Mushrooms: the keys are all pressed at the same time? | 11:55 |
| Mushrooms | prince_jammys: hold down alt and sysrq, but type REISUB in one at a time, in that order | 11:56 |
| filthpig | will Hauppauge! WinTV-HVR4000 work uner linux? | 11:56 |
| n2diy | Can Nautilus be configured to do a "save", and "save as /dev/XXX" similltaneously? | 11:56 |
| filthpig | under* | 11:56 |
| filthpig | I've tried a bit of googling, but get no straight answers :( | 11:56 |
| Trel | Not sure on that one McGod. The driver may not allow it. | 11:57 |
| alanbshepard71 | bsdnewb07: I wouldn't that's most likely your OS drive. | 11:57 |
| hexpill | hello world | 11:57 |
| ph0rensic | filthpig: best thing to do is check mythbuntu or myth tv for supported cards | 11:58 |
| Mushrooms | brb | 11:58 |
| egg_dm | filthpig: it's a Windoz program, right? You _may_ get it to run under Wine (which is a wondose compatability layer) but no guarantees | 11:58 |
| ph0rensic | filthpig: I believe that one will, but check mythtv first.. did you already buy it? | 11:58 |
| larson999 | that's problematic as sysrq is Fn SysRq on this laptop and i can't figure out how to hold them all down together | 11:59 |
| ph0rensic | filthpig: to my knowledge the hauppage cards are good but there are a couple versions that have a chipset that doesn't play nice .. atleast with mythtv | 12:00 |
| filthpig | ph0rensic, I never buy stuff without checking compability first ;) | 12:00 |
| prince_jammys | yep, it worked -- shut down my box, lol ... | 12:00 |
| prince_jammys | you may have to use your feet | 12:01 |
| ph0rensic | Anyone used clonezilla live yet? | 12:01 |
| bsdnewb07 | guys how do i merge /dev/sdb1 into /root ? | 12:02 |
| arno-t | hi all how can I fix the date string format? I have norwegian setup, but when I execute "date" in a terminal I get "lør feb 16 12:26:40 CET 2008" where the month should come _after_ the "16", not before. Running "locale" I see all settings set to "no.utf-8". Suggestions? | 12:02 |

| filthpig | yes, I know Hauppauge plays nice.. But I need support for using "decoding cards" to access certain channels (and get the digital TV signal) | 12:03 |
| ealx | I would a help about usplash | 12:03 |
| ole_ | #ubuntu-norge | 12:03 |

| ole_ | her er vel ingen norske? | 12:03 |
| arno-t | ole_, når du skal til å logge på kan du velge options... nede til venstre. Der et sted kan du velge "session", og det kommer opp en liste med hvilke wm du har installert. | 12:03 |

| mjtunes | ive just built a pc and went to install ubuntu on it and getting this busybox v1.1.3 (debain 1;1.1.3-ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) and (initramfs) under it | 12:04 |
| ph0rensic | filthpig: Im not much help then... maybe the folks at myth might know more about that type of thing | 12:04 |
| arno-t | ole_, det tar litt tid å knotte ned svaret av og til :) | 12:04 |
| filthpig | arno-t, english in here | 12:04 |
| Filled-Void | filthpig, O believe Haupage works with decoding (that is if I understand what you are talking about right) . I however use a loop back cable from audio out of tv tuner to audio in of sound card | 12:04 |
| arno-t | ok | 12:05 |
| mjtunes | any1 | 12:05 |
| byspeed | hi | 12:05 |
| webben | I'm running Ubuntu inside VMWare Fusion. I'm just wondering if anyone's come up with a way to make updating vmware tools when you update vmware painless (as in automatic, or a one-click/one-script command). | 12:06 |
| ph0rensic | webben: fusion .. is that the one for mac? | 12:06 |
| webben | yep | 12:07 |
| nano | hey guys, i just wanted to confirm "what is an accelerated graphics" card | 12:07 |
| ph0rensic | webben: Coo .. | 12:07 |
| filthpig | Filled-Void, to watch digital TV I first need a decoder box (tuner) and a credit card size "key card" to insert into the tuner in order to access the digital broadcasts | 12:07 |
| hexpill | hello world | 12:07 |
| ph0rensic | nano: Its a graphics card that supports 3d acceleration .. nearly all graphics cards do this now | 12:07 |
| webben | currently I have to load Gnome, click install vmware tools, load terminal, untar a tarfile to a build directory, build it etc. | 12:07 |
| nano | basically, if im using drivers that came from the site of my video card manufacturer, then i am using an "accelerated" card, .... | 12:07 |
| hexpill | has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10? | 12:07 |
| byspeed | I got a little Problem: i want to run Maple Story on Ubuntu, with Vmware. But i think my ubuntu has not got a 3D support. how to get it? :) i got a nvidia 7900GT | 12:08 |
| levander | amule.org isn't down right now is it? I pull it up in Firefox and get a blank page. | 12:08 |
| Blaise | How can I reverse my Stereo output in Ubuntu? | 12:08 |
| byspeed | Blaise: well... change the connectors to your soundcard/Amplifier :) | 12:08 |
| Blaise | yes, very good :D | 12:08 |
| Filled-Void | filthpig, Sorry I must have misunderstood . I thought you were talking about decoding SOund directly from the card instead of using a cable from the tuner to the sound card. I hear that Haupage works and so does Tuners with the Conextant chip set I believe. | 12:08 |
| nano | ph0rensic: as opposed to open source drivers that come with my ubuntu, if i get drivers from the manufacturers website, then can i say that i have accelerated drivers? | 12:08 |
| Blaise | But is there another way? | 12:09 |
| byspeed | hmm, my soundcard has chinch connectors, so i never need this | 12:09 |
| levander | Can someone check amule.org for me? | 12:10 |
| Blaise | my Left Channel speakers are definitely playing the right channel sound | 12:10 |
| byspeed | levander: works | 12:10 |
| byspeed | hehe, you cannot change the connectors? | 12:10 |
| prince_jammys | levander: Unknown host amule.org | 12:10 |
| levander | prince_jammys: Yeah, that's what I get. | 12:11 |
| erUSUL | levander: works here | 12:11 |
| levander | prince_jammys: That's what I get when I nslookup it anyway. | 12:11 |
| filthpig | Filled-Void, that's ok.. I'll just keep hunting for some info ;) | 12:11 |
| orochi_ | Does anyone else find that having compiz effects enabled messes with the brightness settings in full-screen OpenGL programs (games mostly ;>)? I seem to be getting that with almost every game I try that allows you to adjust brightness | 12:11 |
| prince_jammys | levander: www.amule.org works | 12:11 |
| hexpill | has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10? whenever I run it, it starts recording automatically and wont show me the play deck. whenever I try to execute it in pause mode, it will run for a second then crash. | 12:11 |
| levander | erUSUL: Can you 'nslookup amule.org' and tell me what you get? | 12:11 |
| byspeed | levander: http://www.amule.org/ works with firefox | 12:12 |
| levander | prince_jammys: Where were you getting 'unknown host' from if amule.org works for you? | 12:12 |
| prince_jammys | levander: without www. | 12:12 |
| levander | prince_jammys: from nslookup? | 12:12 |
| levander | prince_jammys: ahhh | 12:12 |
| prince_jammys | levander: no from browser --- IP is 85.14.219.10 | 12:13 |
| levander | prince_jammys: damn, i do www.amule.org and I get it... | 12:13 |
| hexpill | has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10? whenever I run it, it starts recording automatically and wont show me the play deck. whenever I try to execute it in pause mode, it will run for a second then crash. | 12:13 |

| nano | if i removed linux-restricted-modules from my system, then i went and downloaded and installed drivers from NVidia site, and now im trying to run compwiz but im getting a white screen.....does this mean that i need to apt-get install linx-restricted modules? | 12:14 |
| hexpill | has anyone had problems running baudline on ubuntu 7.10? whenever I run it, it starts recording automatically and wont show me the play deck. whenever I try to execute it in pause mode, it will run for a second then crash. If you know anything, please PM me. | 12:15 |
| ph0rensic | nano could be... why did you try to change drivers? | 12:15 |
| erUSUL | |repeat | hexpill | 12:15 |
| Blaise | Seriously, is there no way to actually reverse the Stereo output in Ubuntu? | 12:15 |
| Blaise | I haven't found anything on the forums for this | 12:16 |
| mdmkolbe|work | ifireball: I figured out the problem. machine2 isn't letting me write to my home directory thus the ~/.Xauthority file isn't getting written. (This is probably a crash on the networked drive for that machine; I'll have to contact the sys admin about it.) | 12:16 |
| mark[oz] | Blaise: try alsa | 12:16 |
| erUSUL | !repeat | hexpill | 12:16 |
| ubotu | hexpill: 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 | 12:16 |
| david | Blaise: alsa? | 12:16 |
| david | but why? :D | 12:16 |
| Blaise | er.. can you explain Alsa? | 12:16 |
| mark[oz] | Blaise: can you seriouslly not know what alsa is? | 12:16 |
| babo | I need to get some stylistic fonts for a piece of graphic design that I'm doing. Nothing in GIMP at the moment is appropriate. Where can I go to get good (preferably free fonts ) ? | 12:16 |
| erUSUL | !sound | Blaise | 12:16 |
| ubotu | Blaise: 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 | 12:16 |
| Blaise | yep | 12:16 |
| byspeed | Blaise: alsa is the normal mixer in ubuntu | 12:16 |
| mark[oz] | :) now, all "ego's" aside | 12:16 |
| nano | ph0rensic: well, i didn't change drivers....i was using "nv" drivers which are open-source and non-accelerated.....so I decided to upgrade and download proprietery accelerated drivers from NVdiia site | 12:17 |
| ifireball | mdmkolbe|work: congrats | 12:17 |
| mark[oz] | alsa is the ubuntu mixer | 12:17 |

| byspeed | oh my god -.- | 12:17 |
| mark[oz] | bah | 12:17 |
| Blaise | gosh | 12:17 |
| ph0rensic | nano well gutsy has a proprietary driver manager.. should use it | 12:17 |
| adam | i need help by my sound problem | 12:17 |
| Blaise | alsa is my default mixer | 12:17 |
| nano | what does this manager do? | 12:17 |
| erUSUL | nano: you shouldn't have done that the drivers are aviable through System>Admin>Restricted Drivers | 12:18 |
| nano | does it find the drivers that im looking for, something analagous to synapsis? | 12:18 |
| erUSUL | !nvidia | nano | 12:18 |
| ubotu | nano: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:18 |
| ph0rensic | it finds the appropriate driver for your card, downloads it, installs it,and configures it | 12:18 |
| nano | ph0rensic: what exactly is "linux-restricted-module" ,and why would anyone need this? | 12:18 |
| mark[oz] | Blaise: sudo apt-get install alsamixergui | 12:18 |
| adam | i'm noob in ubuntu | 12:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | Heya.. now I'm looking for the bug reports regarding gnome not being able to disable the creation of a trash folder on removeable drives. It's crazy behaviour, that a trash folder gets created on removable drives... anyone seen it or know what I'm talking about? I'm searching the interwebs but coming up with bupkis | 12:19 |
| nano | guys, I wanted to do things a little more hands on (skip envy ..and stuff) so that i can learn more | 12:19 |
| mark[oz] | or alsa-tools-gui | 12:19 |
| c1|freaky | is there any ubuntu news rss feed where all new releases and stuff are postet? | 12:19 |
| Blaise | what's the difference between the two? | 12:19 |
| prince_jammys | nano: the package has propietary drivers for ubuntu -- use this, don't use stuff from the internet | 12:19 |
| ph0rensic | nano Im not sure how to phrase this correctly... | 12:19 |

| mark[oz] | Blaise: not sure, I did a sudo apt-get install alsa <TAB><TAB> and looked for the word "gui" | 12:21 |
| erUSUL | nano: your best option is to uninstall nvidia site drivers and use restricted manager | 12:21 |
| Blaise | oh ok | 12:21 |
| mark[oz] | Blaise: if your comfortable with cli, try open console and type alsa | 12:21 |
| mark[oz] | Blaise: sorry, alsamixer | 12:21 |
| prince_jammys | Blaise: try installing gnome-alsamixer | 12:22 |
| Blaise | ooh nice | 12:22 |
| nano | so is linux-restricted-modules a collection of restricted drivers, along with a manager ? | 12:22 |
| Blaise | this doesn't seem to offer me more than the Ubuntu volume control tool | 12:23 |
| rufus | what can I put in grub config to add a splash image | 12:24 |
| david | is there no other way to get screenshot/preview images with say, mplayer than totem-xine? | 12:25 |
| prince_jammys | Blaise: not promising in google -- one person with that request, no answers | 12:25 |
| Blaise | yup exactly | 12:25 |
| nano | so is linux-restricted-modules a collection of restricted drivers, along with a manager ? | 12:25 |
| prince_jammys | Blaise: you may have to just stand on your head | 12:25 |
| nano | is that it? | 12:25 |
| Blaise | *sigh* not again :( | 12:25 |
| erUSUL | nano: just the drivers the manager comes in another package | 12:25 |
| prince_jammys | Blaise: ;) | 12:25 |
| larson9999 | anyone here know how to reduce the initial lag time for the simpler 'main menu'? the HUGE one that is the default fires right up but the first time you click on the smaller one there is a lag. | 12:26 |
| nano | what is the name of the package that the manager comes in? | 12:26 |
| david | *totem-gstreamer | 12:26 |
| ph0rensic | nano the manager is something that started coming it gutsy i believe .. yes they are correct that these are seperate | 12:26 |
| ph0rensic | nano are you running gutsy? | 12:26 |
| erUSUL | nano: apt-cache search restricted-manager | 12:26 |
| nano | i c...btw im running fiesty | 12:26 |
| larson9999 | hopefully, i've corrected my gpu issues and won't lockup anymore. | 12:27 |
| ph0rensic | nano I see, gutsy has the manager.. can yu upgrade? | 12:27 |
| Filled-Void | Can I save youtube videos? | 12:28 |
| nano | yeah, but the package that i dloaded and installed from nvidia gave me accelearted drivers, and my opengl say settings indicated that they came from NVidia, ...i thought I was smooth sailing | 12:28 |
| erUSUL | !info restricted-manager feisty | 12:28 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: sure! | 12:28 |
| rufus | what can I put in grub config to add a splash image | 12:28 |
| nano | now i get this white screen problem when I attempt to run compwiz | 12:28 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, HOw may I do that ? | 12:28 |
| * erUSUL the bot has gone :( | 12:28 | |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: Firefox has some plugins that you can use for this | 12:28 |
| erUSUL | ph0rensic: feisty has the manager too | 12:28 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, thank you will read up on that then :) | 12:29 |
| mjtunes | busybox v1.1.3 (debain 1;1.1.3-ubuntu7) built-in shell (ash) | 12:29 |
| ph0rensic | erUSUL: oh yah? ok i didn't know | 12:29 |
| mjtunes | what does that mean | 12:29 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: Go into firefox and go to the addons page | 12:29 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, would it matter if im on a 64 bit distro? | 12:29 |
| mjtunes | and got (initramfs) under it | 12:29 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: it may, but if firefox is working, it should be fine | 12:30 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, thank you | 12:30 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: Ive been told that it is suppoed to be back-comp. with 32 bit.. but i have heard otherwise.. | 12:30 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: But the plugin should be fine | 12:30 |
| larson9999 | gxe is a fine text editor | 12:31 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, will try it out now and find out :) | 12:31 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: you use gutsy 64? | 12:31 |
| filthpig | what do you guys say about AMD (vs. Intel) and Linux? | 12:31 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, yes | 12:31 |
| mjtunes | any1 any ideas | 12:32 |
| larson9999 | filthpig, i used to lean toward amd. now i'm leaning toward intel | 12:32 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: how is it working out? I haven't tried a 64bit since edgy.. and I just burned a 64-bit disk. i have 2 more partitions to play with | 12:32 |
| * ph0rensic agrees with larson9999 ... especially since amd joined with ati .. ewwww | 12:32 | |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, pretty well. I only had problems with compiling WIne but Ive made a guide for it so anyone how wanted to use COD4 can pretty much do it even if he/she is new to Ubuntu | 12:32 |
| filthpig | ph0rensic, but they're more Open Source friendly...? | 12:33 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: code4? | 12:33 |
| larson9999 | filthpig, but since i get most of my hw for free, i takes what i can get | 12:33 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, call of duty 4 | 12:33 |
| mjtunes | call of duty 4 | 12:33 |
| ph0rensic | filthpig: perhaps...I just never had good chances with ati cards..nor my friends | 12:33 |
| ph0rensic | mjtunes: oh hhe | 12:33 |
| larson9999 | filthpig, i think so. isn't the intel gpu the bees knees when it comes to open source? | 12:34 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, I find that all appls are pretty much available for 64 bit as well or at least a substitute. Performance wise I doubt I notice the difference though | 12:34 |
| filthpig | I've been nvidia all my life, since my first GeForce 2 GTS (L) | 12:34 |
| mjtunes | i need help wit install in ubuntu on pc i built last nite | 12:35 |
| ph0rensic | Filled-Void: hmm interesting... seems like a bit chance for no reward from how you describe it | 12:35 |
| larson9999 | too many little annoyances for me and 64 bit right now. i ran it for about 2 months and switched back. | 12:35 |
| filthpig | larson9999, depends on what you mean with bees knees :p | 12:35 |
| filthpig | good shit or bad shit? | 12:35 |
| ph0rensic | larson9999: still buggy eh..hmmm.. maybe I'll save the partition for en encryted volume?...LFS?? | 12:35 |
| Filled-Void | ph0rensic, Lol Im definitely not the person to compare distros especially based on their bit counts. Ive found no problems with Ubuntu 64 bit as it is. SO Im pretty happy with it | 12:35 |
| larson9999 | filthpig, i don't have an intel gpu but i hear tell it's the tops if you want open source. | 12:36 |
| larson9999 | ph0rensic, i don't know if it's buggy or i didn't pass the learning curve quickly enough. | 12:36 |
| filthpig | ok | 12:36 |
| bobbyd__ | can anyone suggest an ftp client for windows that supports queuues and resume? | 12:36 |
| prince_jammys | interesting choice of channel | 12:37 |
| ph0rensic | haha | 12:37 |
| Filled-Void | lol | 12:37 |
| bobbyd__ | bobbyd__I need to transfer some files from an Ubuntu box :) | 12:37 |
| prince_jammys | anyone know of a good ski resort? | 12:37 |
| filthpig | larson9999, but I guess both ATi and nvidia are miles ahead on performance.. | 12:37 |
| bobbyd__ | prince_jammys: Avimore is nice this time of year | 12:37 |
| larson9999 | yay! that powernowd thingie must have fixed for my nvidia card! | 12:37 |
| ploom | I believe windows has its own command line ftp | 12:37 |
| prince_jammys | bobbyd__: ages ago i used BulletProofFTP for win | 12:38 |
| larson9999 | filthpig, you didn't ask about performance. you asked about opensource, didn't you? | 12:38 |
| marshall | hey guys | 12:38 |
| * ph0rensic used cuteftp | 12:38 | |
| ploom | otherwise any searchengine for ftp client windows comes in handy | 12:38 |
| mjtunes | can any1 help me \ | 12:38 |
| ph0rensic | bobbyd__: Isn't there a better way to do this than using ftp? | 12:39 |
| marshall | i just noticed that my ntfs partitions are no longer mounted automagically. i think this might have happened after an update. id really like to get them to mount the way they used to, any ideas? | 12:39 |
| bobbyd__ | ph0rensic:not at the moment | 12:39 |
| bobbyd__ | ph0rensic: I've got one now anyway, thanks :) | 12:39 |
| filthpig | larson9999, well yes :) but to intel provide anything serious for desktops? I thought they were more in the mobile market...? | 12:39 |
| filthpig | s/to/do | 12:40 |
| Dr_Willis | business desktops dont need a lot :) | 12:41 |
| silverblade | i need to upgrade lighttpd but the version with the security fix from september STILL isnt available via apt | 12:41 |
| larson9999 | filthpig, next time i buy(i don't buy much), i'm definitely going to give intel a good hard look from the open source angle. and my guess is i'll likely buy intel. then again, i only play open source games. when it comes to me parting with my money, i prefer to donate to open source projects or buy things that support open source. | 12:41 |
| silverblade | is there another way i can get this | 12:42 |
| m4steR | i did acpi -t | 12:42 |
| m4steR | No support for device type: thermal | 12:42 |
| m4steR | :| | 12:42 |
| m4steR | why? how can i do? | 12:42 |
| larson9999 | no more lockups! i'm gonna go kiss my wife! | 12:42 |
| silverblade | O_o | 12:43 |
| silverblade | god forbid what happens if he has a string of kernel panics that stopped... | 12:43 |
| larson9999 | lol@ silverblade | 12:43 |
| Dr_Willis | 0_o | 12:43 |
| david | hmm.. this was messier than expected | 12:43 |
| silverblade | exactly | 12:43 |
| larson9999 | that'd put my valentines day pressent to shame | 12:44 |
| larson9999 | i'd have to join #pr0n to tell the tale | 12:44 |

| rauhfasertapete | Hi somebody out here who has some hints for me on running a native Windows XP in VMware on Ubuntu Linux? <- My actual problem is that my keyboard and mouse are not responding when I am booting my XP up in VMware. I can only see the login screen and after 10 mins the screenserver starts :) | 12:46 |
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: weird, worked fine for me... did you try clicking the window? (I gather you didn't install the VMware tools yet...) | 12:47 |
| rauhfasertapete | Right, tools are not yet installed. I tried, but the mouse actually does not move :( | 12:48 |
| Dr_Willis | rauhfasertapete, odd. xp works fine for me in vmware. - Are they ps2 or usb mice/keyboards? | 12:48 |
| jimcooncat | anyone here use prevu? I want to know if I should do any pinning in apt preferences to keep from getting hardy updates in normal usage, I have a deb-src line in there now. | 12:48 |
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: does id exhibit the same problems with Linux-based VMs ? | 12:48 |
| rauhfasertapete | I have a PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard embedded in my Notebook. I have another Win2K3 Server VM which works pretty fine. But this one is not native. | 12:49 |
| rauhfasertapete | I dont know about Linux ones. | 12:50 |
| Dr_Willis | rauhfasertapete, you might want to grab a small linux live cd. to test. PuppyLinux or DSL would be a good test. | 12:50 |
| mich | Hi | 12:50 |
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: what exactly do you mean when you say "native" ? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | rauhfasertapete, unless you have other live cd's laying about. :) | 12:51 |
| ph0rensic | brb | 12:51 |
| rauhfasertapete | Do you think that will bring up new results my Win2K3 server VM is running fine. | 12:51 |
| rauhfasertapete | ? | 12:51 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea.:) its a test.. to see if its a vmware issue.. or a xp under vmware issue. | 12:52 |
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: I somehow suspect the XP is simply stuck | 12:52 |
| sidelil | Hello. I'm trying with VirtualBox to use a raw host hard disk from a guest, ie to create a virtual machine which boots a physical partition. When I type the command it returns an error: "Overlapping partition description areas. Aborting. Error reading the partition information from '/dev/sda'" Does anyone know why? | 12:52 |
| Zodiac` | https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/24792 | 12:52 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: when you say native do you mean it's not in a regular vmware file? it's a dual boot machine? | 12:52 |
| rauhfasertapete | Do clear things up: I have a natively installed Windows XP Prof on my bare metal and would like to use it in ubuntu. | 12:52 |
| rauhfasertapete | Ya dual boot | 12:52 |
| ifireball | sidelil: sounds like the partition table is kinda messed up, unless you're telling it to use /dev/sda rather then something like /dev/sda1 | 12:53 |
| mjtunes | so any1 know wot this is BusyBox v1.1.3 | Debian 1:1.1.3 - (ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash) Enter "help" for a list of built-in commands. Enter "help" for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs) _ (acá podia escribir) (Initramfs) | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | using vmware to run xp installed on a hard drive.. can cause issues.. that xp is setup for totally different hardware for one thing. so it will start looking for new drivers and so forth on the first boot. | 12:53 |
| Dr_Willis | mjtunes, sounds like the installer crashed very very early on. | 12:54 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: I'm guessing it's using the drivers for your hardware, and not autodetecting the kb/mouse in vmware environment | 12:54 |
| mjtunes | with out the (acá podia escribir) (Initramfs) | 12:54 |
| mjtunes | lol | 12:54 |
| mjtunes | how i sort it out | 12:54 |
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: yeah, it is probably having trouble adjusting to the virtual devices (btw that's not dual-boot) | 12:54 |
| rauhfasertapete | @Willis and Jim: I guess you are both right about the driver issue. Can I inject PS/2 drivers manually? | 12:54 |
| sidelil | ifireball, Yes, I told him to use /dev/sda, but this is what the manual says. | 12:54 |
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: search VMware's website maybe they have some tools you can run on the native windows to prepare it for running in vmware | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | rauhfasertapete, no idea. i always do clean installs of XP into my vmware machine. | 12:55 |
| rauhfasertapete | ifireball: I can boot at startup XP or Ubuntu with grub, isn't this dual boot?\ | 12:55 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: I'd think you'd do a fresh XP in vmware, then forward your hard disk instead. There's also importing tools, too (I'm not sure for free though) | 12:55 |
| Dr_Willis | rauhfasertapete, could try safe mode i guess when vmware boots the xp thing. | 12:55 |
| === GLaDOS is now known as apix | ||
| ifireball | rauhfasertapete: that's dual boot indeed, but running one OS in VMware inside the other isn't | 12:55 |
| === apix is now known as kapix | ||
| mjtunes | Dr_Willis: how would i sort it out | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | mjtunes, no idea. :) | 12:56 |
| Dr_Willis | mjtunes, this is happening on your install cd? or on an installed system? | 12:56 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: you could also install Ultravnc while booting in your native windows, and see if you can connect to it when running it in vmware | 12:56 |
| ifireball | sidelil: can you refer me to the relevant page in the PDF? | 12:56 |
| rauhfasertapete | jimcooncat: The vnc idea sounds pretty nice, thanks | 12:57 |
| Lr5 | Umm, is update manager supposed to recommend xserver-xorg-video-intel on Gutsy, if you have nvidia video card? | 12:57 |
| kapix | hey guys, here is my problem : I need to install the base ubuntu into a limited partiotion of my hard disk A and mount the folders that will allow me not to have any problems when i install any programms into my ubuntu into my hard disk B that has "unlimited" capacity. What folder should i link ? | 12:57 |
| sidelil | ifireball, yes, sure. it's page 106, chapter 9.9.2 (which is what I'm interested in) | 12:57 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: no idea if it would work, but would keep you busy for an hour | 12:57 |
| xoai | . | 12:58 |
| mjtunes | install cd | 12:58 |
| bla3435 | kapix: /usr | 12:58 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: you'd have to allow the port through, if you don't have a bridged network | 12:58 |
| rauhfasertapete | jimcooncat: but I don't want a clean new setup. I need this special windows in my linux otherwise I do not need windows hehe | 12:58 |
| kapix | bla3435, just that ? | 12:58 |
| _SiLENT_ | hello all .is there an extremely configurable local caching proxy for ubuntu? | 12:58 |
| mjtunes | all 3 of em | 12:58 |
| jimcooncat | rauhfasertapete: that's why I suggested the vnc. Another way to get what you want is with colinux | 12:59 |
| diegosouza | _SiLENT_, why not squid ? | 13:00 |
| bla3435 | kapix: that will be the biggest directory | 13:00 |
| kapix | bla3435, thanks mate :) | 13:00 |
| zardosht | HI, any list of webcams that support ubuntu appreciated, | 13:00 |
| _SiLENT_ | bla3435: is it configurable real-time? (using shortcuts), for example I hold a shortcut and while I hold it it is in offline mode (i had such application in windows called handycache) | 13:01 |
| kapix | bla3435, and one last thing, if i reinstall ubuntu, will i be able to mount the previous /usr into the new installation and use the programs previous installed ? | 13:01 |
| _SiLENT_ | also there were rules using regexp as for wjhat to cache | 13:01 |
| bla3435 | _SiLENT_: i dont know if i understand you | 13:01 |
| _SiLENT_ | also using different cascading proxied depending on regexp rules | 13:02 |
| ctothej | what command/utility can find the hostname of an ip of a computer on a lan? | 13:02 |
| _SiLENT_ | *proxies | 13:02 |
| _SiLENT_ | bla3435: ok =) | 13:02 |
| jimcooncat | kapix: you might not have needed files in /etc or /usr/lib to do that. | 13:02 |
| bla3435 | kapix: you don't mount a directory to a partition. you mount a partition on a directory. | 13:02 |
| piju | ctothej, nmap | 13:02 |
| kapix | bla3435, oups, my mistake. you got the point tho, right ? | 13:03 |
| jimcooncat | kapix: you'd probably be better getting a list of your installed apps and then reinstalling them | 13:03 |
| jessdk2008 | Hi All - What is the best program for Ubuntu to log on to Novell ? | 13:03 |
| ctothej | piju: thanks, ill give it a go now. | 13:03 |
| bla3435 | kapix: moving /usr to a separate parition cannot be done while the system is running | 13:03 |
| ifireball | sidelil: well, try checking the correctness of the partition table with the "v" command in "fdisk" [enter the "you can shoot your foot" disclaimer here] | 13:03 |
| bla3435 | kapix: you have to use a live cd | 13:03 |
| kapix | jimcooncat, okies thanks a lot. off to formatig/re-installing | 13:03 |
| bla3435 | kapix: and if you reinstall you cannot keep your installed apps | 13:04 |
| jimcooncat | kapix: there's an automated way to get your list of installed apps, but I don't remember how | 13:04 |
| kapix | jimcooncat, ill check that after :) | 13:04 |
| bla3435 | kapix: dpkg --get-selections > installed_pkgs.txt | 13:04 |
| sidelil | ifireball, sorry, what do you mean? | 13:04 |
| david | it's a shame there's no mplayer plugin for gnome | 13:05 |
| zardosht | where can I find list of webcams that support in ubuntu? | 13:05 |
| david | *mplayer-thumbs | 13:05 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders why gnome needs a plugin. | 13:05 | |
| jimcooncat | bla3435: is there a way to install back from that list? | 13:05 |
| david | Dr_Willis: :P | 13:05 |
| bla3435 | jimcooncat: dpkg --set-selections < listfile | 13:05 |
| jarule2 | how do i do the same thing others doing whom i don't even like and they are nothing doing the same thing as i am doing by nature like color of skin? | 13:06 |
| jimcooncat | bla3435: that's just too easy. love debian stuff | 13:06 |
| ifireball | sidelil: I think the partition table of the physical drive you're trying to use may not be all in order, if you access it with "fdisk" and run the "v" command it may give you hind as to what may be wrong | 13:06 |
| pawan | how to hide desktop icons | 13:06 |
| david | anyone using reiser of XFS for / here? | 13:06 |
| xoai | pawan: use fluxbox :D funny | 13:07 |
| startxwhite | i have an orinoco gold classic pcmcia card which works ok on ubuntu 710 but i can not put it in monitor mode. Firmware determined as Lucent/Agere 8.72 and the driver is orinoco_cs 0.15 | 13:07 |
| jimcooncat | david, I use reiserfs | 13:07 |
| pawan | whats that | 13:07 |
| bla3435 | xoai: i use fluxbox :) | 13:07 |
| piju | xoai, evilwm | 13:07 |
| * piju use evilwm | 13:07 | |
| xoai | -_- it's a WM without any desktop icons | 13:07 |
| xoai | bla3435: yeah, I use too | 13:08 |
| Dr_Willis | A majority of window managers dont have desktop icons. :) | 13:08 |
| ifireball | sidelil: if you haven't used "fdisk" before please find and read a manual or a howto, that tool can pretty much ruin your system if not used properly... | 13:08 |
| pawan | how to automatically login | 13:08 |
| hend | startxwhite: version 0.13 does have monitor mode | 13:08 |
| bla3435 | xoai: evilwm is even without window decorations and window overlapping, right? | 13:08 |
| startxwhite | version 0.13 but ubuntu uses orinoco_cs 0.15 | 13:08 |
| co_kenter_fs | aNdREW_aJACH | 13:08 |
| xoai | bla3435: -_- yeah | 13:09 |
| zardosht | where can I find list of ubuntu supported webcams? | 13:09 |
| sidelil | ifireball, no, no, I'm ok with it. I've done it, and it doesn't complain. It seems to be ok. Should I do my VirtualBox operations from a LiveCd? Maybe the problem is that he cannot access the hard drive... | 13:09 |
| jimcooncat | david, you had a q about it? | 13:09 |
| byspeed | you know how to recover data, when i formatted ntfs, and then installed ubuntu with ext2 or ext3? | 13:09 |
| ompaul | pawan, system - administration - login windows -> security tab | 13:09 |
| xoai | zardosht: I don't think there is an official list, just try google it | 13:09 |
| byspeed | you know how to recover data, when i used windows under ntfs, and then installed ubuntu with ext2 or ext3? | 13:10 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, you formated a ntfs filesystem tobe ext2/3 ? | 13:10 |
| ifireball | sidelil: I don't think that's the problem. tough you may need to run the command with sudo or something | 13:10 |
| Tetracomm | Hi. Does anyone know how to install a soundcard in Ubuntu? | 13:10 |
| byspeed | no, i used win under ntfs Dr_Willis | 13:10 |
| Tetracomm | It didn't automatically detect it, help? | 13:10 |
| xoai | Tetracomm:what kind of soundcard? | 13:10 |
| Filled-Void | I know this might not be the best place but is there an aptoncd equivalent for rpm distros? | 13:10 |
| sidelil | ifireball, I've already tried, but makes no difference | 13:10 |
| Tetracomm | A Turtle Beach. | 13:11 |
| zardosht | Xoai: I googled but I couldnt find any comprehensive list, just mentioned afew | 13:11 |
| jessdk2008 | zardosht: Try here - http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/webcam | 13:11 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: pci-id please | 13:11 |
| xoai | zaedosht: so I think just look up for some and google it for sure that it can run well | 13:12 |
| zardosht | jessdk2008: thanks | 13:12 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: It says command not found. | 13:12 |
| david | jimcooncat: just curious about eventual pros and cons | 13:12 |
| david | (odd story about the author :B) | 13:12 |
| jessdk2008 | zardosht: and here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam | 13:12 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: lspci -n | grep 0401 | 13:12 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: you know how to? | 13:12 |
| byspeed | :'( | 13:12 |
| jimcooncat | david, yes odd story, but the tech is great. | 13:13 |
| harm | How can i mount a .bin file? | 13:13 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, you really are not making much sence as to what you are trying to recover.. You wish to recover files on a NTFS filesystem by using Linux and Linux tools? | 13:13 |
| jimcooncat | david, if using reiserfs for /, and you don't have a separate /boot, use the notail option on the / partition | 13:13 |
| david | jimcooncat: seems it's optimal for a / mount with many smaller files? | 13:13 |
| pawan | hello | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, if its a cd image - you need to convert it to .iso | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, then you an mount it.. | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | !iso | harm | 13:14 |
| ubotu | harm: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 13:14 |
| byspeed | no, i used win, under ntfs fyle system, and installed now ubuntu with ext2/3, and forgot to save my htdocs directory with all my project datas | 13:14 |
| harm | Dr_Willis: only way to mount it is converting? | 13:14 |
| xoai | I think a bin file usually goes with cue file | 13:14 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, as far as i know. | 13:14 |
| harm | Dr_Willis: ... thats bollocks | 13:14 |
| jimcooncat | david it's really not anything special for /, but you get some real kick if you use it for /home, especially if you store .maildir files or html | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, go find another way then. I rarely use bin/cue - the only docs ive seen for it convert them to iso first | 13:15 |
| david | ok | 13:15 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56204/plain/ | 13:15 |
| jessdk2008 | Is there a program for Ubuntu there is better than "Citrix Presentation Server Client" to log onto Novell ? | 13:15 |
| harm | Dr_Willis: cant believe thats the easiest way | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | even the various fuse tools convert them, | 13:15 |
| ifireball | sidelil: pay close attention to the output of fdisk -l and see if you have overlapping partitions (as indicated by the error), "v" should have told you that, but who knows... | 13:15 |
| jimcooncat | david one nice thing is that there's no forced fsck after 30 boots. bad things are power outages, but that's bad with all filesystems | 13:15 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: no, i used win, under ntfs fyle system, and installed now ubuntu with ext2/3, and forgot to save my htdocs directory with all my project datas | 13:15 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, i could automate it into a 3 line script... so whats so hard. | 13:15 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: that's a onboard intel sound card | 13:16 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, so you formated a ntfs to be ext2 and now you want to recover it? | 13:16 |
| david | <- laptop, only outage should come from a panic | 13:16 |
| Tetracomm | No. I inserted a PCI sound card. | 13:16 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435 | 13:16 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: then turtle beach does not conform the pci device class for sound cards | 13:16 |
| Tetracomm | brb | 13:17 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: kinda: i want to recover files, that i forgot to copy on a stick! I formatted the ntfs to be ext2/3 and now using linux on it... if there is any chance to get some files back, then isd be happy | 13:17 |
| harm | Dr_Willis: well i cant automate it in a 3 line command | 13:17 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, i would find the odds of getting those files bac to be very very low. | 13:17 |
| harm | Dr_Willis: in fact i dont want to be hassled by coding.. i just want to apt-get install bin-mounter or something | 13:18 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: no problem, but i want to try it, because otherwise the work of months is killed | 13:18 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, not seen any such a tool. - the various 'fuse' filesystem tools. may have a automated way of doing it. | 13:18 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: well, what programs you know for such things? | 13:19 |
| harm | Dr_Willis: big letdown :X | 13:19 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, im not even sure How you would go about scanning a ext3 for ntfs files. | 13:19 |
| byspeed | hmm, so no way to get the files back? not even the sql dump? all are ASCII files | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | since the installer formated the disk., then you have been using the thing. | 13:20 |
| jessdk2008 | testdisk is good to recover files | 13:20 |
| brobostigon | good afternoon | 13:20 |
| rambo3 | :P on ext3 there are only ext3 files | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | if they are ascii. I guess ya could dd the disk to a file. and fire up a text editor and start looking. :) | 13:20 |
| Dr_Willis | harm, whatever. :) | 13:20 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: how to do that? :P iam a relative newbie in linux :/ | 13:21 |
| david | got another PC or harddrive? | 13:21 |
| jimcooncat | brobostigon: good morning | 13:21 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | hello | 13:21 |
| david | byspeed: ^ | 13:21 |
| byspeed | david: not yet | 13:21 |
| jumper | hali | 13:21 |
| byspeed | i format my EEE atm | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, i dont know enough on how to do it to even begin to tell you. You have a large spare hard drive to copy the original hd to>? | 13:22 |

| ubuntuwestbengal | can some one tell me how long it take for the approval process for a new LoCo team? | 13:22 |
| jumper | bye | 13:22 |
| david | for a windowsuser, I think you should try Easy Recovery (win32 software), it's simple - and in an environment you are familiar with | 13:22 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: well, i only have the harddrive i use with linux now.. on this drive there were the datas stored | 13:22 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, and the more you use that disk. the more your original data is getting written to over and over and over. | 13:23 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435? | 13:23 |
| byspeed | david: well, i think thats the best solution... | 13:23 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | can some one tell me how long it take for the approval process for a new LoCo team? | 13:23 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: yes? | 13:23 |
| byspeed | Dr_Willis: for that reason i just shut the HDD off now... ill try easy recovery... C ya later | 13:23 |
| Dr_Willis | byspeed, if you want to mazamize your chances to recover the data. You better get a spare hd. to be using, while you attempt to recover that other one. | 13:24 |
| byspeed | yup, bye :) will brb | 13:24 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | can some one tell me how long it take for the approval process for a new LoCo team? | 13:24 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | please? | 13:24 |

| Tetracomm | I had only resumed it from hibernation before, bla3435. | 13:26 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: you hotplugged a pci card?! | 13:26 |
| ifireball | ubuntuwestbengal: this may not be the proper channel to ask this kind of question in,as it is focused on tech support | 13:26 |
| jpatrick | ubuntuwestbengal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamHowto | 13:26 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435? What do you mean by hotplugged? | 13:26 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | jpatrick, ifireball : thanks | 13:26 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: before the reboot, you inserted the pci card while the machine was running? | 13:26 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: I plugged it in while the computer was off. | 13:26 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: oh okay | 13:26 |
| jpatrick | ubuntuwestbengal: #ubuntu-locoteams | 13:27 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | ya thats what i needed | 13:27 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: then you sure had to change some bios settings to disable the onboard card | 13:27 |
| ubuntuwestbengal | thanks a lot | 13:27 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: make a lspci -v -nn and pastebin that please | 13:27 |
| Tetracomm | Yes, I already disabled the integrated sound card. | 13:27 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: well it wasnt disabled before the reboot | 13:28 |
| Mimi | if i would have it installed were would i find it? | 13:28 |
| Tetracomm | It was disabled before the reboot. | 13:28 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: but it showed up in lspci, so it wasnt | 13:28 |
| Tetracomm | :( | 13:28 |
| Tetracomm | I don't know what to do. | 13:28 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: make a lspci -v -nn and pastebin that please | 13:29 |
| Tetracomm | I told it to disabled integrated sound. | 13:29 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: where? in the bios? | 13:29 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: try ---> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 13:29 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: The integrated one no longer shows up in Hardware Information now that I rebooted. | 13:29 |
| Tetracomm | Yes. | 13:29 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: okay | 13:29 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: okay, give me the detailed lspci output on pastebin | 13:30 |
| pawan | hello | 13:30 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56207/plain/ | 13:30 |
| Mimi | Thank you My Prince its doing something XD | 13:30 |
| amelio | hello everyone | 13:31 |
| Mimi | its installed now how does it work ? | 13:31 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: then after that go to Preferences-->Appearance | 13:31 |
| Gatorgrad | I'm back with another noob question. I just installed (at least I think I did) Truecrypt. Where do I find the icon to run the program? I can't find it in the Applications list. | 13:31 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: that card is not supported. i just checked 2.6.24 (which is the latest kernel). no sound driver cares for the pci-id 12eb:0002 | 13:31 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: maybe there is a out-of-tree driver, but not one in the official kernel | 13:32 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: Is there anyway I can get it to work? | 13:32 |
| xoai | Gatorgrad: I haven't use it but just try open terminal and run truecrypt command | 13:33 |
| jessdk2008 | Does Ubuntu have something similar as M$ Active Directory - But only for an Ubuntu environment | 13:33 |
| Mimi | ok i did that | 13:33 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: i'm afraid no. the card manufacturer does not seem to release any specs to driver developers. | 13:34 |
| Gatorgrad | xoai: I'm such a noob, I don't really know how to do that. | 13:34 |
| Dirk_ | hey guys ^^ | 13:34 |
| Dirk_ | just installed ubuntu yesterday o.0 | 13:34 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: isn't there now an option at the bottom called "extra" or something like that? | 13:34 |
| ifireball | jessdk2008: plenty of ways to achieve comparable behaviour, nothing quite clickty-easy though | 13:34 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435, what is this?: http://manuals.opensound.com/sources/vortex2.c.html | 13:34 |
| Dirk_ | I finally got my soundcard up an runnin, but i'm havin a lil trouble connecting to the internet | 13:34 |
| Fabio_Como | if I plugin a USB wifi card, on a xubuntu box, which command should I execute to let the box watch for new hardware? thanks | 13:34 |
| Mimi | custom : uses custom set of effects | 13:35 |
| Gatorgrad | xoai: Ok, I opened terminal and typed "truecrypt" The program opened. Thats cool but can't I get it to list in the applications so I don't need to do it that way? | 13:35 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: thats the commercial sound driver from 4front | 13:35 |
| mariusz | .pl | 13:35 |
| mariusz | hi | 13:35 |
| Dirk_ | my modem is a touchstone telephony modem, any way to get this to work with ubuntu? Forums or anything that help with it? | 13:35 |
| mariusz | anybody can help me? | 13:35 |
| Syxx | Dose anyone know why , when i watch videos online they work fine untill in go to full screen mode then the get really slow. could someone help my out | 13:35 |
| ifireball | jessdk2008: I hear Edubuntu includes the most integrated solution, to manage classroom computers, didn't try it myself though | 13:35 |
| jessdk2008 | ifireball: ok - What is the most used program/s | 13:35 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435, it is for OSS, right? So it might work in Ubuntu? | 13:36 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: how many options are there and what are they? | 13:36 |
| masca123 | Hi, someone know how to install ubuntu amd64? I'm trying but after the boot the ubuntu freeze on the message "booting kernel" | 13:36 |
| Mimi | a lot ...one sec | 13:36 |
| mariusz | my ubuntu is break when the screenserver is working i have lenovo n200 intel x3100 celeron 1,7???? | 13:36 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: i don't know. OSS is the legacy sound system, ALSA is the standard in 2.6 kernels | 13:36 |
| Mushrooms | Dirk_: you might have to get a restricted driver perhaps? | 13:36 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: a lot? then you must be in the compiz menu | 13:36 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: don't type all the options then | 13:37 |
| Dirk_ | thank you shrooms ^^ know where I might be able to find it? | 13:37 |
| jessdk2008 | ifireball: Do you have some usefull links about it | 13:37 |
| mariusz | my ubuntu is break when the screenserver is working i have lenovo n200 intel x3100 celeron 1,7???? | 13:37 |
| ifireball | jessdk2008: you pretty much have to design your network architecture, and decide on things like how to do authentication and where to store user information, then you integrate various components such as Samba, OpenLDAP, Kerberos and BIND | 13:37 |
| Dirk_ | mascal23, did you run a mdsum check after you downloaded it? | 13:37 |
| Mushrooms | Dirk_: systems -> administration -> restricted drivers manager | 13:37 |
| masca123 | yes | 13:37 |
| Syxx | Dose anyone know why , when i watch videos online they work fine untill in go to full screen mode then the get really slow. could someone help my out | 13:38 |
| ifireball | jessdk2008: enterprise-class network management is never easy... WRT edubuntu, google is your friend I guess | 13:38 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: that opensound.com does not refer to the OSS/free legacy drivers still in the 2.6 kernel series | 13:38 |
| Dirk_ | thank you shrooms ^^ | 13:38 |
| amelio | Syxx you probably need a faster videocard or a better driver for it | 13:38 |
| jessdk2008 | ifireball: Thank you for your good information ;-) | 13:38 |
| Dirk_ | i'll give that a try | 13:38 |
| Mushrooms | Dirk_: ok | 13:39 |
| ifireball | jessdk2008: A good starter guide about the issues involved in building a network is "Smaba by example" (google) | 13:39 |
| ifireball | jessdk2008: that's Samba by Example* | 13:39 |
| jessdk2008 | ifireball: Perfect | 13:39 |
| Mimi | If it would be working what do i need to press/do it make it work? | 13:39 |
| Fabio_Como | if I plugin a USB wifi card, on a xubuntu box, which command should I execute to let the box watch for new hardware? thanks | 13:40 |
| Syxx | Amelio i have a nivdia | 13:40 |
| afaith | hello people | 13:40 |
| Dr_Willis | There are several samba books included in the 'samba-doc' package. - No need to go googling. :) | 13:40 |
| Syxx | 6200 | 13:40 |
| amelio | thought so | 13:40 |
| afaith | anyone can help me to create a ftp mirror? | 13:40 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: was there an option for "desktop cube"? | 13:40 |
| afaith | google doesn't have concludent resuts | 13:40 |
| afaith | results* | 13:40 |
| amelio | nvidia have a driver at nvidia.com with instructions on how to install | 13:40 |
| Beererde_ | hi. when i start firefox, it crashes my window decorations and displays nothing | 13:40 |
| Mimi | yes! | 13:40 |
| amelio | you will need the instructions | 13:41 |
| Mimi | Prince .... if it would be working how do i make it work like press something? | 13:42 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: try and see --- when messaging here, write my name so i can find your post --- you don't have to type the whole thing, just the first few letters and then tab to autocomplete | 13:42 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: googling for "12eb:0002 linux" looks not very promising | 13:42 |
| Beererde_ | can i restart compiz when my decoration is lost??? | 13:42 |
| afaith | no one ? | 13:43 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: mmm i forget | 13:43 |
| archangelpetro | ok, can someone point me to the nvidia with gutsy page? I've 'apparently' installed the driver and am supposed to be using it, but this gnome is in low-graphics mode, and clearly is NOT 3d accelerated | 13:43 |
| Mimi | lol | 13:43 |
| amelio | wonder why no one ever reads the instructions for installation manual | 13:43 |
| archangelpetro | Well, i had it working.. but every time i rebooted it was buggered up again.. | 13:44 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: try pressing the middle mouse button and moving the mouse pointer off to the right | 13:44 |
| archangelpetro | i had compiz running, and a lovely nice shiny desktop | 13:44 |
| Mimi | prince_jammys, I just changed from Windows Vista to Ubuntu , Windows just pissed me off | 13:44 |
| pawan | hi | 13:44 |
| pawan | whats up | 13:44 |
| xoai | cat README and INSTALL for sure | 13:44 |
| woofix | salut a tous | 13:44 |
| Tetracomm | :( | 13:44 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: while pressing down the middle mouse button, drag the mouse pointer off the screen | 13:44 |
| Mimi | prince_jammys, u know what Jammy | 13:45 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: what? | 13:45 |
| Mimi | prince_jammys, I love u :) it works | 13:45 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: good | 13:45 |
| bloodboy | how did Windows piss you off | 13:45 |
| bloodboy | ? | 13:45 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: you can spin the middle mouse button and your desktop will spin | 13:45 |
| Mimi | Tooo SLLLOLOOOWWW | 13:45 |
| archangelpetro | ok, beside just saying 'read the install' I've been looking for stuff, can somebody point me to the correct document? I mean, lsmod reveals that i 'have' the nvidia driver loaded.. but X doesnt seem to like it? | 13:45 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: hey, wait | 13:45 |
| now3d | Hi there. I'm struggling to get Skype Mic input to work on my Dell Inspiron 1300. Headphones work ok, any ideas? | 13:45 |
| Tetracomm | Ok. | 13:46 |
| Mimi | prince_jammys, how u make the fire thing then u close the windows ? | 13:46 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: i think it actually _is_ supported by the snd-au8830 driver | 13:46 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: Ok, how do I get that? | 13:47 |
| archangelpetro | and, is what i'm reading here about the Nvidia GeForce 6600 correct? That gnome doesnt work with it? by default | 13:47 |
| RICHARD_GERE | quien habla español? | 13:47 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: it's a standardard in-kernel driver so you should already have it | 13:47 |
| ompaul | !es | RICHARD_GERE | 13:47 |
| ubotu | RICHARD_GERE: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 13:47 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: Ok, so how do I use it? | 13:47 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: i don't know, i don't have it installed on this machine and compiz has a million features -- check all the options available... if it's slowing down your comp, try disabling a few. try using only a few options that you like. | 13:47 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: lsmod | grep au8830 should return something | 13:47 |
| RICHARD_GERE | ok gracias | 13:47 |
| archangelpetro | i wonder, if people are purposely ignoring me | 13:48 |
| Mimi | prince_jammys, thank you for ur help :) | 13:48 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: no problem | 13:48 |

| now3d | Yanch0: just plug it in and see.. | 13:58 |

| erUSUL | prince_jammys: works without the -e | 14:01 |

| kasutaja | is it possible to download dnsmasq.conf i can't find it from computer | 14:01 |
| erUSUL | n00b: at is another job scheduler not quite like cron | 14:01 |
| n00b | :P | 14:01 |
| n2diy | prince_jammys: erUSUL, thanks, I was looking for something more user friiendly, GUI. | 14:01 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: i guess your board or bios is buggy, if the onboard sound card appears/disappers at each boot. | 14:02 |
| Tetracomm | Maybe it had something to do with the sound card slipping out while it was one. bla3435. | 14:02 |
| jrib | kasutaja: what does 'apt-cache policy dnsmasq' return? Use pastebin | 14:02 |
| prince_jammys | erUSUL: without -e it simply prints "\a" | 14:02 |
| Mimi | prince_jammys, Bye | 14:03 |
| prince_jammys | Mimi: bye | 14:03 |
| Tetracomm | bla3435: This sound card is much nicer than the old one. | 14:03 |
| kasutaja | jrib: W: Unable to locate package dnsmasq | 14:03 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: maybe the bios is not able to entirely disable the onboard sound card. some bioses are *very* broken and never get fixed. | 14:03 |
| marshall | i just noticed that my ntfs partitions are no longer mounted automagically. i think this might have happened after an update. id really like to get them to mount the way they used to, any ideas? | 14:03 |
| Tetracomm | Plenty of new equalizer settings in the mixer. | 14:03 |
| jrib | kasutaja: did you enable the universe repository as I said before? | 14:03 |
| erUSUL | prince_jammys: not my echo (maybe is becouse i use zsh) | 14:03 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: cool | 14:03 |
| prince_jammys | erUSUL: yes | 14:03 |
| Tetracomm | :) | 14:03 |
| bla3435 | Tetracomm: you could blacklist the module for the onboard sound card | 14:04 |
| maximilion | Oh God, how do I install a .run file? | 14:04 |
| prince_jammys | erUSUL: ubuntu default bash needs -e before special escaped chars like \a \n \r \t | 14:04 |
| Tetracomm | Ok. | 14:04 |
| erUSUL | prince_jammys: you are right the /bin/echo displays "\a" but built in echo does the right thing | 14:04 |
| maximilion | You'd think that one could "run" a .run file ;) | 14:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | maximilion: depends, what are you trying to install? | 14:04 |
| maximilion | IndyGunFreak, Tremulous | 14:04 |
| kasutaja | jrib: don't know. | 14:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | maximilion: uh, tremulous is in the repositories | 14:04 |
| kasutaja | jrib: maybe you say again | 14:05 |
| maximilion | IndyGunFreak, hm, how current are the repos? As current as their website? | 14:05 |
| erUSUL | maximilion: chmod +x file.run && sudo ./file.run | 14:05 |
| jrib | kasutaja: go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and check off the checkbox that corresponds to Universe | 14:05 |

| masca123 | Hi, someone know how to install ubuntu amd64? I'm trying but after the boot the ubuntu freeze on the message "booting kernel" (MD5 is okay)? | 14:05 |
| jrib | kasutaja: please do not dcc chat, use the channel here | 14:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | maximilion: not sure how current it is, i play that one, and it works fine for me.. whats in the current version that may not be in that version that you need? | 14:06 |
| maximilion | Oh well, problem solved, any update problem will be taken care of later :) | 14:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | maximilion: how did you solve it? | 14:06 |
| kasutaja | jrib: and how i get to system-administration, i can't see it anywhere | 14:06 |
| maximilion | IndyGunFreak, I have no idea, just make it a point to not install old stuff - because if I have a problem, everyone will ask me what version it is and berate me for it not being the latest / "have you tried upgrading"... | 14:07 |
| maximilion | ...if you know what I mean. | 14:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | !latest | maximilion actually thats windows thinking, its just the opposite here | 14:07 |
| ubotu | maximilion actually thats windows thinking, its just the opposite here: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos. | 14:07 |

| archangelpetro | mr jrib, is there something i'm completely missing? I do have the driver working now (like beforE) i installed using the download from Nvidia, and it works fine. however, when i reboot, it doesnt work and i have to run that tool again? | 14:08 |
| IndyGunFreak | forgot a few characters there. | 14:08 |
| peleg | hey, anyone is familiar with XKB or with keyboard layouts in general? | 14:09 |
| maximilion | IndyGunFreak, I have always been of the the thinking: Don't upgrade if my version works and does what I need. | 14:09 |
| jrib | archangelpetro: you aren't supposed to download anything from nvidia's site, you are supposed to use the Restricted Driver Manager | 14:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | maximilion: well, that makes the most sense, always use the packaged version in the repos, unless there is some specific reason you need to download and compile from source | 14:09 |
| Stagger | salve, come posso impostare deluge come programma predefinito per aprire i torrent? d'un tratto il sistema ha iniziato ad usare bit torrent | 14:10 |
| maximilion | But when it comes to commercial drivers and software, they all want you to have the latest version, otherwise you don't get support | 14:10 |
| archangelpetro | jrib, well when i did that, it didnt work at all (granted i did use the download from nvidia first.. but i uninstalled that) | 14:10 |
| rinaldi_ | hi, qould there be a reason why it can take up to three times of reinserting a cd/dvd before it is mounted/read? | 14:10 |
| Stagger | ops sorry i thought i was on the italian channel | 14:10 |
| maximilion | IndyGunFreak, yes, of course. :) | 14:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | maximilion: most of the games in the repos, will run on the standard drivers, i don't even have intel drivers installed on my laptop, and it runs Tremulous and OpenArena perfectly | 14:10 |
| kasutaja | jrib: I can't find system-administration | 14:10 |
| maximilion | Yeah, gonna try it now :) | 14:11 |
| jrib | kasutaja: do you have a GUI? | 14:11 |
| jeso | My slider is not adjusting in Audacity, can anyone help me? I'm running on Gutsy using the package (which is a beta) and I'd like to avoid compiling 1.2.6 if possible. | 14:11 |
| kasutaja | Yes. | 14:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeso: your slider? | 14:11 |
| kasutaja | jrib: yes i have | 14:11 |
| archangelpetro | jrib, either way i play it.. the only way i get nvidia to work is when i use the binary download from nvidia.com... and even then i have to reinstall each time i boot | 14:11 |
| jrib | kasutaja: do you have a menu at the top left? | 14:11 |
| kasutaja | yes | 14:11 |
| jrib | archangelpetro: what card? | 14:11 |
| jrib | kasutaja: what version of ubuntu? | 14:11 |
| kasutaja | jrib: ubuntu 4.10 | 14:11 |
| jeso | IndyGunFreak: The input volume and output volume sliders. | 14:12 |
| archangelpetro | geforce 6600 i believe jrib | 14:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok. | 14:12 |
| jrib | kasutaja: that is way too old, you need to upgrade | 14:12 |
| jrib | kasutaja: you should just reinstall 7.10 | 14:12 |
| kasutaja | jrib: only way i get 7.10 is netboot, i think | 14:12 |
| alanbshepard70 | Is there a way to force synaptic to download a package even if it's included on the install cd? It's quite irritating sometimes to go hunt down my disc and put it in to install a package. Also sometimes the drive is in use already so I have to stop what I'm doing put in the install cd and wait :( | 14:12 |
| erUSUL | archangelpetro: the nvidia.com instaler doesn't set up your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to work with their driver you have to manually copy a ~/xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf at least that's what i remember from back in the day... | 14:12 |
| Stagger_Lee | hi, how do I set deluge as my predefined torrent client? ubuntu has suddenly started using bit torrent by default. thanks | 14:12 |
| jeso | IndyGunFreak: I'm using the command aoss audacity, otherwise I get a computer-generated hissing in teh background. | 14:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | jeso: no clue on that one, sorry | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | Stagger_Lee: right click on a torrent file and choose properties>open with | 14:13 |
| Stagger_Lee | thanks | 14:13 |
| harmattan | Hi. Anyone having tried Ubuntu on old PIIIs? | 14:13 |
| kasutaja | harmattan: how old | 14:14 |
| jrib | archangelpetro: get rid of the download, install with restricted and tell us what happens (paste error logs, etc) | 14:14 |

| now3d | just asking again.. Hi there. I'm struggling to get Skype Mic input to work on my Dell Inspiron 1300. Headphones work ok, any ideas? | 14:15 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: you better run xubuntu (xfce desktop) or fluxbox on that | 14:16 |
| Yanch0 | now3d - no via usb2 | 14:16 |
| pawan_ | how to hide desktop items | 14:16 |
| harmattan | But, I suppose I would have to delete a lot of individual Gnome services, right? | 14:16 |
| jrib | pawan_: in gconf-editor go to /app/nautilus and look for show_desktop | 14:17 |
| eden_assassin | erUSUL any idea how to get boot menu because it doesn't show me ubuntu at boot screen | 14:17 |
| Boglizk | I just noticed i had vnc running, i have no idea how and why. What do i kill? | 14:17 |
| MohammadBoozary | Hi All :)( | 14:17 |
| alanbshepard70 | After installing nvidia driver for my computer I keep having an issue with synaptic. Here is the terminal output http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56211/ How do I fix this? Not only does it finish with an error every time but it also adds about 3 minutes to every install | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | eden_assassin: you boot into ubuntu or windows? | 14:17 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: xubuntu comes with minimal gnome services by default | 14:17 |
| erUSUL | eden_assassin: did you remember setting up grub during install? | 14:17 |
| kasutaja | Is there any chance get version 7.10 via internet with ubuntu 4.10 without cd, floppy or USB. | 14:17 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: it has some gnome libs, but most of the gui apps are gtk2 only | 14:18 |
| harmattan | Aha. I'll give it a try. Thanks bla3435 | 14:18 |
| eden_assassin | erUSUL maybe it's my fault ...i didn't saw an option like that ...can u point me ? | 14:18 |
| Boglizk | kasutaja: I dont think 4.10 supported that | 14:18 |
| jrib | kasutaja: it would take a very long time as you would have to upgrade 4.10 -> 5.04 -> 5.10 -> 6.06 -> 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 | 14:18 |
| eden_assassin | erUSUL or should i read online | 14:18 |

| bla3435 | kasutaja: if netboot is the only way to boot that machine other that from harddisk, you need a second machine and netboot the kernel and initrd of the netinstall cd | 14:19 |
| Axel | Hello | 14:20 |
| kasutaja | well then i have to accept ubuntu 4.10 | 14:20 |
| harmattan | bla3435: I recently read something about xfce not being so light in modern versions... | 14:20 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: that's why i use xfce with fluxbox windowmanager | 14:21 |
| Cain1 | hello all | 14:21 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: i installed normal xubuntu, then added fluxbox and run a fluxbox session from gdm login | 14:21 |
| jrib | !install > kasutaja (read the private message from ubotu) | 14:21 |
| jrib | kasutaja: see if something there helps | 14:21 |
| kasutaja | bla3435: eem... can boot somehow harddisk | 14:21 |
| harmattan | bla3435: Is it difficult to change? | 14:21 |
| Cain1 | how would i go about figuring out the path to installing something, i put the prog in the home folder | 14:21 |
| krim | Is there a quick key to make a window always on top? | 14:21 |
| jrib | Cain1: what are you trying to intall? | 14:22 |
| Cain1 | in fact its unrealircd3.2.7 | 14:22 |
| jrib | krim: right click on the title bar -> always on top | 14:22 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: no. gdm lets you choose which session to start when logging in | 14:22 |
| Cain1 | i have it on a win machine right now | 14:22 |
| lnx | hi | 14:22 |
| Cain1 | but want to move it to ubuntu | 14:22 |
| Cain1 | btw | 14:22 |
| krim | jrib: With the keyboard I mean. I'm too lazy to click twice :) | 14:22 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: you just have to install fluxbox after installing normal xubuntu (sudo apt-get install fluxbox) | 14:22 |
| erUSUL | eden_assassin: well maybe they called it boot manager during install and not grub | 14:22 |
| Cain1 | ubuntu is fantastic | 14:22 |
| lnx | ubuntu is very good | 14:22 |
| erUSUL | eden_assassin: you can try to set up grub now but it is not trivial | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | !grub | eden_assassin | 14:23 |
| ubotu | eden_assassin: 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 | 14:23 |
| erUSUL | eden_assassin: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows can give you the info to reinstalling grub | 14:23 |
| harmattan | bla3435: oooh! I see. So it is simply like choosing in the login window one or another | 14:23 |
| eden_assassin | erUSUL thanks i'll read some and if i'm lucky i'll be here on ubuntu :) | 14:23 |
| === Flummoxed` is now known as Snoman^ | ||
| bla3435 | kasutaja: booting the netinstall-kernel/initrd from harddisk would be possible, but once you start installing and repartitioning, that boot method will be gone. so the install has to work at the first try. otherwise you may end up with an unbootable system, only leaving netboot as a last resort. | 14:24 |
| pawan_ | hi | 14:24 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: yes | 14:24 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: configuring fluxbox is of course not that much gui-ish than xfce | 14:25 |
| bla3435 | harmattan: some fluxbox settings can be changed by gui, some only in the fluxbox config files | 14:25 |
| Cain1 | can anyone help me with installing unrealircd on ubuntu? | 14:25 |
| kasutaja | bla3435: and then i can't even change in BIOS booting to like CD-ROM | 14:26 |
| jrib | Cain1: does the program come with a README file? Do you need to compile it? | 14:26 |
| harmattan | bla3435: I'll look for an old podcast from Linux Reality. I think they have some tutorial or something about that | 14:26 |
| Cain1 | ok its the path thats getting me | 14:26 |
| Cain1 | i know how to install it, but the path, im not so sure about | 14:26 |
| Cain1 | i have the prog in the home folder | 14:27 |
| Cain1 | so what would the path be? | 14:27 |
| jrib | Cain1: path for what? | 14:27 |

| 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? | 14:44 |

| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

| archangelpetro | does compiz mess anyone else X up? | 15:36 |
| NigelS | Stagger: you can or you can override the info from the DHCP - I forget what the ubuntu default is but if dhclient is grabbing DHCP info the nyou can edit the config file and provide the supersede keyword to impose your local requirement | 15:36 |

| soc | hi | 15:44 |
| ArthurArchnix | eax: Strange that it won't work through the menus... ah well. Put a check mark in Debian. Close. It should be there. If not, just restart you panels. in terminal: killall gnome-panel | 15:44 |
| NigelS | Stagger: do you see beneath it the #prepend? it has the dhcp option domain-name-servers - you want a line that goes something like: supersede domain-name-servers <DNS IP> - you could also use the prepend if you wish which would place an IP of your choosing at the front of the list returned by that DHCP request | 15:44 |

| eax | Humba: What do you mean? How do I do it? :) | 15:50 |
| prince_jammys | camilla: you need \{ \} | 15:50 |
| Stagger | ok, i'll try restarting and see what happens! | 15:50 |
| SUSLiK_ | how i should wrote chroot /dev/sda6 ? | 15:50 |
| Grifer | which file to edit to WHITELIST a driver? I think I know that solves my problem | 15:50 |
| amenado | Krumar that didnt seem to come in correct, you were using a dynamic ip (doled out by dhcp?) and your dns is what? | 15:50 |
| Stagger | thanks a lot, you have been very helpful and very patient | 15:51 |
| antool | nara ciecie | 15:51 |
| humba | <eax> : try this man xdg-desktop-menu | 15:51 |
| SUSLiK_ | oh this chanel is mess =\ | 15:51 |
| magnetron | Arelis: please direct your questions to the channel. if i know the answer, i will tell you. | 15:51 |
| _Oz_ | roshan: fine, open a terminal window and type this: "sudo apt-get install restricted-drivers-manager" | 15:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | eax: Well, I can't recall what programs were in there to be honest. But if you do remember, then you can just install them and they should show up in the debian menu. | 15:51 |
| Arelis | magnetron, alright. | 15:51 |
| humba | <eax> : a debian menu config file is stored here /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu | 15:51 |
| eax | Humba: Will do :) Thanks :D | 15:51 |
| Roshan | Oz I didnt follow you there | 15:51 |
| thrope | ArthurArchnix: yeah i used sudo - gives a permissions error otherwise, won't die though. I wondered if it was a problem someone had seen before, lots of hits on google for pdflush 100% cpu, but couldn't find anything recent or for ubuntu. i guess I'll try a reboot (which is a bit of a pain on this system). thanks anyway | 15:52 |
| Krumar | amenado, i'm at college, my ip is set by the school, i want to set it up so that opendns is my primary dns, and the school's dns server is the secondary | 15:52 |

| magnetron | !ask | hfmls | 15:52 |
| ubotu | hfmls: 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. :-) | 15:52 |
| _Oz_ | roshan: yeah, open a terminal and type that command | 15:52 |
| _Oz_ | roshan: "sudo apt-get install restricted-drivers-manager" | 15:52 |

| JoeBob | it stoped working yesterday | 15:53 |
| hfmls | i want to use HDMI, how can i do it?! | 15:54 |
| Krumar | amenado, my /etc/resolv.conf is set to the school's dns servers, i've tried to change and save it to what i want, but when i restart the firefox, it works for one url, then defaults back to useing just the school dns\ | 15:54 |
| s0u][ight | how can i make sound work it seems not working :s | 15:54 |
| _Oz_ | roshan: well, that's odd | 15:54 |
| ArthurArchnix | thrope: Have you tried disabling tracker from your session startup and seeing if that helps? | 15:54 |
| Roshan | oz: yeah :( | 15:54 |
| _Oz_ | you're definitely running ver. 7.10 of ubuntu, right? | 15:54 |

| Roshan | ok | 15:55 |
| dsnyders | hfmls, what's stopping you? | 15:55 |
| amenado | Krumar its possible, because if your school blocks another dns, your client will time out and have to use the remaining name server on the list | 15:55 |
| hfmls | i dunno what to do dsnyders | 15:55 |
| _Oz_ | do you have a non-standard keyboard, roshan? | 15:55 |

| Arelis | People, i've been having a problem with my computer. I've had applications like apt-get segmentation faulting on me all the time. This isn't an ordinary software problem. I've tried about 7 distributions, including Debian. I installed Debian yesterday, continued the installation today, then i used the computer, tried installing an application (apt-get worked before), and when i tried it, apt-get did segfaults. Not only Debian had this. OpenS | 15:56 |
| Arelis | uSe had a segfaulting YaST2. I've tried Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake, which had a segmentation faulting metacity. I have done a memtest, and it showed 100% error-free. Nearly -EVERY- flavour of Linux has been unstable for me, mostly the core components. I am also experiencing a lot of random crashes, especially on Ubuntu. This computer belonged to my parents before they gave it to me, about a month ago. It had Windows on it and it all worked fi | 15:56 |
| Arelis | ne, without any crashes of the core system components. So can anybody help me with this problem i've been trying to solve for weeks? | 15:56 |
| Krumar | amenado, the school does not block the other dns, i have done this on windows boxes, ubuntu just seems to over write the file, i've tried to make it read only, that didn't work | 15:56 |
| Roshan | did it oz | 15:56 |
| _Oz_ | what did it tell you, roshan | 15:56 |
| Roshan | but I gotta go, Ill be back later mate thanks for the help! | 15:56 |

| amenado | Krumar perhaps remove the domain-name-servers from dhclient.conf, lets see if you can override | 16:01 |
| ubotu | JoeBob: 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).

| Little_Charlie | ccq, I doesn't understand you | 16:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | chris have you looked at this thread? Flash has been a real mess since Adobe pushed its latest updates. Even when you get it working... it does't really work. For, example, since adobe released the most recent version on some sites the sound gets delayed. On comedycentra, the first video plays fine, then the next video plays but the first starts too. Anyway, here's the thread that talks all about it: http://ubuntuforums.org/ | 16:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | chrisn: See above | 16:14 |
| kondor101 | amenado, i just fixed it. For some reason "unmounting" it in gparted caused it to remount with format options !?! | 16:14 |

| Hilikus | void^ merci | 16:16 |
| void^ | Hilikus: not sure if that's what you're looking for, but something based on inotify should be perfect for that task | 16:16 |

| rsk | ole_: english here btw, you might want to try amarok as an alternative | 16:22 |
| alanbshepard70 | JoeBob: The videos show up fine? Have you tried local sounds? Have you run test sounds from the audio setup menu? | 16:22 |
| thrope | dsnyders: I'm not sure, but i wouldnt have thought it matters, if you do your directories pairwise, ie unison the first two and resolve conflicts until they're both the same, then just delete one... repeat for others | 16:22 |
| void^ | FLUXxXx: strangely enough, libcurl4-gnutls-dev is for libcurl3 | 16:22 |
| JoeBob | yes the videos are showing up i dont know how to do those last 2 things :S it was working yesterday just so ya know | 16:23 |
| thrope | dsnyders: there might be some options for doing it one way though - its pretty configurable | 16:23 |

| pawan | hi | 16:23 |
| pawan | how to install restricted drivers | 16:24 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: You want to write to files in the cd? or on a hdd? | 16:24 |
| SUSLiK_ | hdd | 16:24 |
| JoeBob | alan?? | 16:24 |
| alanbshepard70 | pawan: goto synaptic package manager | 16:24 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: Have you mounted the hdd? | 16:24 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, simpler question....my desktop runs Ubuntu, I have a laptop that sometimes is running Ubuntu, sometimes Windows.....I'd like to be able to access the files on my desktop from my notebook, what's a decent way to do that? | 16:24 |
| SpK | i got a questtion | 16:24 |
| SUSLiK_ | <Odd-rationale> i want restore menu.lst for grub | 16:24 |
| filthpig | ole_, amarok is a great program, but works and looks best in the KDE desktop | 16:24 |
| SpK | i'm new to ubuntu | 16:24 |
| SpK | hoe do i get a anti virus | 16:24 |
| pawan | i have nvidia geforce fx 5200 card | 16:24 |
| SpK | how* | 16:24 |
| Little_Charlie | alanbshepard70: the pc is a Duron 1000, no raid, ide controller with one hard disk, a dvd unit and a floppy | 16:24 |
| dsnyders | thrope, the problem with that approach is that there may be files that are different in the two directories (and possible space issues on the drive). I want to preserve the differences. | 16:24 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: You have to go to the menu.lst of the hdd. if you go to /boot/grub/menu.lst that is the file for the cd. | 16:25 |
| SpK | how do i get a anti-virus | 16:25 |
| Little_Charlie | alanbshepard70: I don't know the motherboard manufacturer | 16:25 |
| alanbshepard70 | pawan: if you want really easy installation of an nvidia card use synaptic to install the package "envy" It works really well | 16:25 |
| NigelS | !virus | SpK | 16:25 |
| ubotu | SpK: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 16:25 |
| filthpig | SpK, through the package manager | 16:25 |
| SpK | thank you ubotu | 16:26 |
| SUSLiK_ | <Odd-rationale> i can read that file, but problem is that i cant change it | 16:26 |
| pawan | no such tool | 16:26 |
| === menganito2 is now known as menganito | ||
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: You can read which file? | 16:26 |
| dsnyders | thrope, It's a good thought though. | 16:26 |
| SUSLiK_ | menu.lst | 16:27 |
| pawan | the card is not plugged in | 16:27 |
| SUSLiK_ | its on /dev/sda6/boot/grub | 16:27 |
| Odd-rationale | !thanks | SpK | 16:27 |
| ubotu | SpK: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 16:27 |
| thrope | dsynders: unison will tell you if they are different, and you can diff/merge/rename conflicts by hand | 16:27 |
| pawan | how to open rar files | 16:27 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: Use sudo | 16:27 |
| jrib | !rar > pawan (read the private message from ubotu) | 16:28 |
| thrope | dsnyders: sorry check above - got your nick wrong | 16:28 |
| SUSLiK_ | <Odd-rationale> problem is im noob in linux and cant mount drive in console....so im using gnome... | 16:28 |
| SUSLiK_ | <Odd-rationale> some1 advice me sudo nautilus....but there are no mounted hhd`s | 16:28 |
| thrope | dsnyders: if you have 2 different files with the same name in different dirs and you want to preserve them both you will have to rename or something anyway, so i think unison gives you the chance | 16:29 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt | 16:29 |
| amenado | SUSLiK_-> now is the time to learn the mount command, | 16:29 |
| SUSLiK_ | and after? | 16:29 |
| thrope | dsnyders: to be honest im not sure, but for the comparing files, subdirs etc. intelligently unison is the best hing i think, although i agree its not designed to do exactly what you want | 16:29 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: Where /mnt is your mount point (note it must exist!) | 16:29 |
| pawan | nvidia drivers | 16:30 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: sudo gedit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst | 16:30 |
| dsnyders | thrope, If there are 2 different files with the same name, I want them skipped. | 16:30 |
| brobostigon | a mountpoint would be a folder inside of /mnt | 16:30 |
| brobostigon | no /mnt itself | 16:30 |
| soldats | or anywhere | 16:30 |
| JoeBob | alanbshepard70, so i tried to run the test and i kept getting this error | 16:30 |

| hellues | hey | 16:30 |
| hellues | i have a problem | 16:30 |
| pawan | how to install envy | 16:31 |
| Odd-rationale | SUSLiK_: When you're done, it is a good idea to un-mount before reboot: sudo umount /mnt | 16:31 |
| ccq | hellues: we are not surprised | 16:31 |
| dsnyders | thrope, unison seems to be the best tool anyone has suggested, so far. So ten geek points for you! | 16:31 |
| thrope | dsnyders: you'd have to do that yourself, unison would flag the conflict, then you move the second one to one side, let the sync finish, delete the copy you don't wont, recreate the directory with the appropriate name and put back the file you wanted left there | 16:31 |
| SUSLiK_ | <Odd-rationale> but its just a livecd | 16:31 |
| pawan | hello | 16:31 |
| thrope | dsnyders: thanks :) | 16:32 |
| hellues | my compiz doesnt work correctly because my file /dev/nvidiactl is owned by root so direct rendering cant start .indirect rendering use instead of direct rendering | 16:32 |
| celi0us | !envy | pawan | 16:32 |
| ubotu | pawan: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 16:32 |
| dsnyders | thrope, I think what I'll do is email the unison folks with exactly what I want to do, and see what they have to say. | 16:32 |
| hellues | i am changing owner of /dev/nvidiactl and i am starting compiz everuthing is fine | 16:32 |

| soldats | hellues: normally like sudo chown user:user /dev/nvidiactl | 16:34 |
| thrope | dsnyders: i dont think youll find them too responsive... there is a mailing list (yahoo) i think, but pretty low volume... worth a try but I reckon you're better playing with it a bit to see what you can do - and perhaps relaxing your requirements that conflict files are left in place (couldn't they just be moved somewhere else and labelled appropriately)... good luck though | 16:34 |

| Dimitree | prince_jammys: great i will see to it right away ! | 17:41 |
| dsnyders | Dimitri, I think all you need to do is remove the ,ro from the last line in your fstab | 17:41 |
| brad01 | if that doesn't work enable some repositories in System>Administration>Software Sources | 17:41 |
| Syxx | !java | 17:41 |

| Shau1 | I have tried the apt command but it seems I am not installing the compat -libstdc++-33 right? | 17:41 |
| Stagger | why does checkgmail keep on telling me Error 401 Unauthorised - Incorrect USername. When I am 100% sure that is my account? I tried both the version with @gmail.com and the one without it | 17:42 |
| Dimitree | dsnyders: altho it seams that KDE uses that line instead of the other one will that be a problem if i remove it ? | 17:42 |
| monte | joebob: were do i go to? | 17:42 |
| ompaul | Stagger, well if you had your name / password right then all other users of the program would be doing the same and complaining here check launchpad.net to see if there is a known bug / condition but nothing common that I am aware of | 17:43 |
| Stagger | yeah it is puzzling, i was thinking some setting I am not aware of | 17:44 |
| Stagger | thanks | 17:44 |
| Dimitree | dsnyders: can you please post an edited version of the file so i don't do anything stupid ? | 17:44 |

| someguy_ | HI | 17:44 |
| brad01 | Shau1, Ubuntu uses .deb files | 17:45 |
| ompaul | Shau1, you should not, it is not for Ubuntu | 17:45 |
| Seveas | Shau1, you don't throw that out | 17:45 |
| gyver | Zelut one last quick question do you have a dual boot system | 17:45 |
| Stagger | interestingly, if i click on it, it launches firefox and logs into my mailbox no problem. any ideas? | 17:45 |
| bsdnewb07 | yeh ubuntu dosent support rpm | 17:45 |
| brad01 | You can use alien to convert it but it's not guaranteed | 17:45 |
| ompaul | Shau1, what specifically do you want to install | 17:45 |
| ompaul | !alien | 17:45 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 17:45 |
| DranDane | Someone can help me for a real newbe question about partitions types during the installation | 17:45 |
| Seveas | brad01, in this particular occasion that is stupid and dangerous | 17:45 |
| brad01 | I would look for a native version | 17:45 |
| Shau1 | okay what is a good media player that works on Ubuntu? | 17:46 |

| ompaul | belor1, so usually lockups are hardware problems or bad binary drivers. have you openssh-server installed? if the answer is yes can you log in remotely when the box hits one of these lockups | 17:51 |
| Dimitree | dsnyders: can't i just rename the ro to rw will that work ? | 17:51 |
| Moduliz0r | bunq: but Windows x64 doesn't >_> | 17:52 |

| ompaul | Bad_boy, have you got a lot of bookmarks and passwords set in your browser? | 17:52 |
| MatBoy | wow, you really need serious CPU power with 4 screens in Xinerama :) | 17:52 |
| belor1 | ompaul no ssh installed, i only lock up wiht ubuntu not kubuntu for some reason | 17:52 |
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: oh wait | 17:52 |
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: i just looked at your fstab | 17:52 |
| nonix4 | MatBoy: prolly running low on ram too... depending on what you're doing :) | 17:52 |
| ompaul | belor1, looks like you got yourself some driver not liking you - are you doing compiz or some other stuff? | 17:53 |
| dsnyders | Dimitree, Sorry, away having a bite. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56246/ | 17:53 |
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: it's there already -- don't add a new line --- make it look like it says in the howto | 17:53 |
| Dimitree | ^^ | 17:53 |
| ompaul | belor1, actually more specifically looks like X does not like you with gnome | 17:53 |
| bsdnewb07 | /dev/sdb1 on /media/hdb1 type ext3 (rw) - how can i return how much space i have on there? | 17:53 |
| belor1 | ompaul, but i do have ndiswrapper installed to run my WUSB54GSC wireless adpter because there no driver developed for it yet | 17:53 |
| Dimitree | thank you dsnyders | 17:53 |
| Moduliz0r | is 128MB of RAM sufficient for Ubuntu Server (7.10)? | 17:53 |
| ompaul | belor1, ehh if you are wireless on using both then I think you are barking up the wrong tree | 17:54 |
| === Ashfire is now known as Ashfire908 | ||
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: ok, he commented out the line -- that's fine | 17:54 |
| Bad_boy | ompaul: yes maybe 20 bookmarks, but i re-installed firefox, and i have synchronised yet | 17:54 |
| belor1 | i dont use wired just wireless, ompaul | 17:54 |
| dsnyders | Dimitree, I left the original line there, commented out so that you could see the difference. | 17:54 |
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: looks like the "ro" option is the only difference | 17:54 |
| Falgor_ | hi | 17:54 |
| ompaul | belor1, then you need to look more at gnome and anything funny you did there | 17:54 |
| Moduliz0r | is 128MB of RAM sufficient for Ubuntu Server to run, and to route the Internet from eth0 to a WLan adapter? (thats all it will be doing)? | 17:54 |

| Dimitree | prince_jammys: should i reboot ? | 17:56 |
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: ok, well try remounting or whatever they say the next step is | 17:56 |
| dsnyders | Dimitree, Do you have an emergency boot disk,? | 17:56 |
| Drk_Guy | Where i can upload a .deb package ive created for other Ubuntu Gutsy Amd64 users to download and use? | 17:56 |
| Dimitree | dsnyders: yes | 17:56 |
| prince_jammys | Dimitree: you can try rebooting to see if the changes will happen every time -- try it | 17:57 |

| ompaul | Bad_boy, if those bookmarks are very important then I would look at saving that file /home/$YourUserName/.mozilla/firefox/"SomeRandomGarbage"/bookmarks.html to one side and then >>> rm -rf .mozilla/firefox* but that is just how I would deal with it there may be other ways that should reset your personal firefox back to default | 17:57 |
| Falgor_ | my package manager doesn't seem to be able to do it. | 17:57 |

| yo_ | how it's configuration the repositories | 18:00 |
| CoasterMaster | dsnyders, what kind of scripting? | 18:00 |
| Falgor_ | prince_jammys, well, can I somehow change the password to something else than the password of my user? | 18:00 |
| prince_jammys | Falgor_: the only way around that would be for you to login as root every time, which you also shouldn't do . Use sudo | 18:00 |
| dsnyders | CoasterMaster, bash, I guess. I want to shuffle some files around. | 18:00 |

| cens0red | LukeLM yeah, it's supposed to be a floppy. Only I don't have a floppy! I also commented out the entry for /dev/fd0 in fstab, then restarted, but I still have the same problem. | 18:00 |
| prince_jammys | Falgor_: why, may i ask? does someone else know your passwd? | 18:01 |
| Falgor_ | prince_jammys, do you know the command to install flash for browsers? | 18:01 |

| Falgor_ | prince_jammys, nope, it's just if my lil bro would want to install stuff | 18:01 |
| CoasterMaster | dsnyders, ahhh. I don't know any bash tutorials unfortunately. But you could probably get the job done in Python which is easy to use and there's a great tutorial at the official python website. Or if it's just a list of commands in bash you want, you can throw them in the file and run bash <myfile> I believe | 18:01 |

| LordMetroid | Probably nothing important | 18:28 |
| NigelS | _Oz_: well it ought to be pretty straight forward, with a point and click gui app like k3b | 18:28 |
| _Oz_ | however, in windows xp, I can simply fire up nero, choose "make dvd video" and two button clicks later, it's burning | 18:28 |

| KnK9 | Does k3b run on Gnome? | 18:30 |
| Flare183 | Yeah but there is Nero for Linux | 18:30 |

| danbhfive | MrPiracy: well, I personally like that at least the main packages are quite stable. But my experience matches yours, once you go outside the main repos, the bug rate goes way up | 19:04 |

| chris___ | it's stable enough to play with | 19:11 |
| nickrud | MrPiracy: nope, that page doesn't load, crashes firefox. But, it's working on the sun java test site so I'd be inclined to blame the site | 19:11 |

| prince_jammys | without anything from outside the repos i can: do email, surf web, edit videos, edit images, edit sound, serve on the web, have a myqsl database, code perl and php, create vector graphics, automate web browsing, run several windows apps, etc. so i'm not sure what you mean by "all cool software out there" | 19:13 |

| MrPiracy | prince_jammys: hmmm, it looks fancy, i will have a look and come back to tell u the results, thx | 19:24 |
| belor2 | cwillu sure as long as it looks good | 19:24 |
| foo | ryan__: ok, in a live cd now. Hopefully this does something. The only real way to determine what's up is by using it. | 19:25 |
| belor2 | cwillu i also need o be able to import itinto a video editor Kino | 19:25 |
| foo | ryan__: I did do an apt-get update && apt-get upgrade yesterday... but I don't know what would break this. | 19:25 |
| ceil420 | the only way you can make digital media look or sound better is to re-rip it from the original medium in a superior format | 19:25 |
| foo | ryan__: I do dual boot windows on this box, I could boot in there and see if I have any issues | 19:25 |
| cwillu | belor2, if the source material is mp3 or ogg, you can't increase the quality after the fact | 19:25 |
| foo | ryan__: So far it's looking good, I just have no idea what it could be. I've tried all 3 kernels I have... I don't know what else I could test. | 19:26 |
| foo | ryan__: And I have ran rkhunter | 19:26 |
| lespea | ceil420: or spend a lot of time in an audio editory running filters :P | 19:26 |
| ceil420 | heh :p | 19:26 |
| cwillu | foo, what's the problem? | 19:26 |
| belor2 | cwillu, its great quality in the ogg i just need it to look just as good when i convert it | 19:26 |
| mohbana | ryan__, i get an error when fetching non fpl'd themes | 19:26 |
| cwillu | belor2, you need to avoid reencoding things as much as possible; this probably isn't the best channel for how to do that though | 19:27 |
| foo | cwillu: can I PM you? If I paste in the terminal it's going to flood the channel (because it separates it over different lines) | 19:27 |
| foo | cwillu: Just PM you what I said earlier.. | 19:27 |
| cwillu | foo, pastebin it | 19:28 |
| cwillu | !pastebin | 19:28 |
| lespea | foo why don't you use pastebin? | 19:28 |
| 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) | 19:28 |
| Lifeisfunny | mohbana, we all do and it still works just the same, but they might know something special in #Compiz-fusion | 19:28 |
| foo | cwillu / lespea: eh, I know about pastebin. I'll just copy/paste it properly. I don't think you understan. | 19:28 |
| foo | I am having this extremely strange problem. I don't know how to describe it other than when I type, it's like my keyboard is messed up. It's like some keys stick, some don't. When I type, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried 3 different keyboards, and they all do the same thing. I've tried booting into the 3 different kernels in my grub list. No go... I'm on my laptop now since it's so bad (and frustrating) on my desktop. I'm going to ssh in to | 19:28 |
| foo | cwillu: ^ | 19:28 |
| * foo forgot it was in his history | 19:28 | |
| Wabbit | hi | 19:28 |
| belor2 | So, Anone have a Really good Screen recorder that sames in a wav format? | 19:29 |
| Wabbit | how can I download a binary image file from a website | 19:29 |
| Wabbit | ?? | 19:29 |
| cwillu | bah, one sec | 19:29 |
| ryan__ | mohbana, that error when fetching themes happened to me too | 19:29 |
| foo | Wabbit: uh, click on it? | 19:29 |
| ceil420 | man wget | 19:29 |
| prince_jammys | belor2: not sure about wav, but there is recordmydesktop | 19:29 |
| jeroenimo | Wabbit: wget | 19:29 |
| foo | Wabbit: Do you mean with command line or something? | 19:29 |
| ryan__ | but if you look in the themes list it should be there now | 19:29 |
| Wabbit | no from a py code | 19:29 |
| foo | py = python? | 19:29 |
| prince_jammys | foo yes | 19:29 |
| Wabbit | @foo yea | 19:29 |
| foo | Wabbit: This is #ubuntu, #python would probably be better for that. | 19:29 |
| mohbana | ok its working fine, i am a bit disappointed in that most of a themes are just vista clones | 19:29 |
| mohbana | thanks guys | 19:29 |
| kbrooks | Wabbit, #python, but use urllib2.urlopen("...") | 19:30 |
| Wabbit | :) | 19:30 |
| kbrooks | Wabbit, replace ... with the url | 19:30 |
| cwillu | sorry foo, phone just went off, I'm reading now | 19:30 |
| Wabbit | it wont get the file | 19:30 |
| LimCore | why ubuntu is so full of bugs? | 19:30 |
| foo | cwillu: np, thanks. | 19:30 |
| belor2 | Prince_jammys that what i have but i cant upload to youtube in ogg and when i convert it i get terrible quality | 19:30 |
| ceil420 | mohbana, saddens me too :( | 19:30 |
| kbrooks | Wabbit, though you may be better suited with urllib.urlretrieve | 19:30 |
| foo | LimCore: It's not. | 19:30 |
| prince_jammys | belor2: sorry, i don't know then | 19:30 |
| LimCore | foo: then why I found 2 bugs in 30 minutes | 19:30 |
| LimCore | foo: and I find bugs daily | 19:30 |
| cwillu | foo, can you ssh into that box? | 19:31 |

| ceil420 | LimCore, report them | 19:31 |
| mystery | ugg im drowning in the sea of failed troubleshooting | 19:31 |
| ryan__ | mohbana, if you change the theme engine to "pixmap", you can customize the window borders and decorations with your own .png files | 19:31 |
| foo | cwillu: I just booted in a live cd like ryan said and I've been typing on it and it has been fine. | 19:31 |
| LimCore | ceil420: I do report them | 19:31 |
| foo | cwillu: I could ssh in, yes. I'm about to do that. | 19:31 |
| cwillu | foo, k | 19:31 |
| ceil420 | thanks :) | 19:31 |
| ryan__ | foo, the live CD didn't have the key stuck issue? | 19:31 |
| foo | ryan__: Correct. | 19:31 |
| m_ | hi everyone, how do i install beryl in ubuntu | 19:31 |
| foo | ryan__: I can't imagine what kind of software issue could be borking this, though. | 19:31 |
| Wabbit | ok can I attach a process to another ? | 19:31 |

| L3ttuc3 | is there any reason why the same hardware would give me lower volume of sound in linux than on windows xp? | 19:46 |
| Seveas | L3ttuc3, open alsamixer, turn up the volume | 19:46 |
| cwillu | L3ttuc3, check the pcm output | 19:46 |
| prince_jammys | Liono: what is wrong with your kubuntu? | 19:46 |
| cwillu | volume controls | 19:46 |
| HyperDevil | cwillu: that is true, do you know the theoretical max speed for gbit? | 19:46 |
| cwillu | HyperDevil, ~150mB/s | 19:47 |
| L3ttuc3 | Seveas cwillu when all the volumes are on maximum is what i meant. in comparison, on xp, it is louder. | 19:47 |
| HyperDevil | cwillu: 150 MegaBytes a sec ? | 19:47 |
| cwillu | yes | 19:47 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, you're probably missing a mixer control, make sure you have them all enabled and play with them | 19:47 |
| krim | Liono: If you want help you'll have to learn how to ask proper questions. | 19:47 |
| Liono | prince_jammys slow. apps errorrs. not responding. black screen at boot (before kde starts) well it doesnt starts some times | 19:47 |
| Liono | krim ^ | 19:47 |
| Shau1 | The playback of this movie requires a MMSH protocol source plugin which is not installed. | 19:47 |
| Seveas | cwillu, neh, you'll never reach that with gigabit | 19:47 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent they are all there. and there is no output gain either. | 19:47 |
| ryan__ | L3ttuc3, sound cards are controlled through a mix of gains, some control the main and some are pcm, and windows probably adjusts in a way that ubuntu does different | 19:47 |
| cwillu | Seveas, he was just asking the theoretical limit | 19:48 |
| foo | ryan__: ok, made another user and booted into fluxbox, no go. | 19:48 |
| prince_jammys | Liono: wow, everything busted | 19:48 |
| foo | ryan__: looks like the same thing. | 19:48 |
| Seveas | cwillu, 128 is the theoretical limit if you ignore all protocol overhead | 19:48 |
| prince_jammys | Liono: has it always been this way? | 19:48 |
| cwillu | Seveas, ah, that's the number I was looking for :p | 19:48 |
| L3ttuc3 | ryan__ uh yes, i was wondering if it would be possible to tweak it so it would give me a little more volume. im using alsa, with realtek's HD chipset. | 19:48 |
| Seveas | and protocol overhead can't be ignored :) | 19:48 |
| cwillu | shush | 19:48 |
| cwillu | I ignore it all the time :p | 19:48 |
| HyperDevil | ;) | 19:48 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, try gamix, it has a lot of options | 19:48 |
| mohbana | hey guys ive noticed people also customise the panels on the top and bottom how do i do that? | 19:49 |
| krim | Liono: Have you checked if your hardware is supported? | 19:49 |
| L3ttuc3 | ryan__ there just aren't more settings to those mixers. | 19:49 |
| czr | HyperDevil, if your 1.5 TiB RAID5 is some d-link or other cheap "storage box", you'll get clipped under 20 MiB/sec sustained | 19:49 |

| ceil420 | ... | 19:49 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent hmm... give me a second then. | 19:49 |
| czr | HyperDevil, theoretical max of gig network is over 120 MiB/sec, but you'll never reach it. | 19:49 |
| brophat | I listen to a youtube video, then I want to stream a radio show from a web page that uses xmms and I get the pop up msg "please check that soundcard is configured properly ...." and what I have to always do is close all my browser windows and go back to the streaming radio web page and it works. Is there a way so that I don't have to keep doing this annoying process of having to close all browser windows etc.. ? | 19:49 |
| ceil420 | i demand that www.xfce-look.org be added to that | 19:49 |

| foo | ryan__ / cwillu : I just let the computer sit, it froze and several aaaaaaa's were printed in xterm... then all of a sudden dozens of xterms started popping up. err. this is frustrating and makes no sense unless I hit some bug with fluxbox in the recent update ++ upgrade for dapper. | 19:49 |
| Seveas | HyperDevil, raid1, raid0? | 19:49 |
| HyperDevil | Seveas: Raid 5 with 2 hot-spares | 19:50 |
| orochi_ | I've found that compiz messes up some fullscreen opengl things...like the brightness settings in games, and occasionally gnome-screensaver will actually start running even if you're in the middle of playing one :/ | 19:50 |
| Liono | krim it was fine at fresh install | 19:50 |
| czr | HyperDevil, ah, better chances then. you could get 750 Mbps quite easily with that. so that'll be just under 100 MiB/sec. | 19:50 |
| Liono | Pricey ^ | 19:50 |
| foo | ryan__ / cwillu : I'mk going to try to get into gnome / kde and see how it is | 19:50 |
| cwillu | foo, anything show up in /var/log/{syslog kern.log messages} ? | 19:50 |
| Seveas | HyperDevil, check your maximum write speed locally. disk will be your bottleneck | 19:50 |
| silent | orochi_, that's why you don't use compiz | 19:50 |
| ryan__ | foo, i'd suspect a wet keyboard if it weren't for the fact that a vterm and live cd doesnt have the issue - so I'm stumped too | 19:50 |
| czr | HyperDevil, wrt the network, don't know about the raid5 implementation. | 19:50 |
| HyperDevil | Seveas: how can i check that easely? | 19:50 |
| orochi_ | silent: Well I don't, not at the moment anyway ;> I'd like to but maybe when it's more stable | 19:50 |
| krim | Liono: When and why did it change? | 19:50 |
| foo | ryan__: Gotcha. I've tried 3 keyboards, and physically broke one of them ... which I guess was now good (and it was my favorite). err, this is frustrating. | 19:51 |
| Seveas | HyperDevil, use dd to write 100mb of /dev/null to disk and time that | 19:51 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent hmm that gamix thing is a little messy. | 19:51 |
| foo | cwillu: let me play around in gnome and see if I notice the problem, then that narrows it down to fluxbox | 19:51 |
| Pricey | Liono, what? | 19:51 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent isn't it a frontent for something like alsamixer or something anyway? | 19:51 |
| HyperDevil | Seveas: dd if=/dev/zero bs=1024 of=testfile count=100 ??? | 19:51 |
| Liono | Pricey it was fine at fresh install | 19:52 |
| prince_jammys | Pricey: i think he meant me | 19:52 |
| Seveas | HyperDevil, that's 100k | 19:52 |
| ryan__ | foo, it has to be a bad package somewhere.. new user didnt work - rules out configuration issues, and you know it's not physical issue w/ keyboard either | 19:52 |
| HyperDevil | Seveas: 1000? then? | 19:52 |
| Shau1 | An error occurred The playback of this movie requires a MMSH protocol source plugin which is not installed. Any ideas why the codecs will not load into Totem? | 19:52 |

| foo | ryan__: right. Is there an apt history to see what was upgraded in an apt-get upgrade | 19:53 |
| foo | ? | 19:53 |
| Seveas | HyperDevil, time dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1M count=100 | 19:53 |

| L3ttuc3 | silent no more settings in gamix than in alsamixer, than in the usual one i get with gnome. | 19:57 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, you sure? maximize the window | 19:57 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent 100% sure. | 19:58 |
| foo | ryan__: I am pretty sure I'm seeing the same issues in gnome too. I'm going to boot into fluxbox and hope I see something in the logs | 19:58 |

| L3ttuc3 | silent i have an input gain (only available via alsamixer and the gnome's own), not on gamix, but that's for inputs. does not help me with sound volumes. | 19:58 |

| brophat | after watching a youtube or google video, i.e. a flash program, xmms does not work until I close all the browsers because it says the soundcard is busy. | 20:00 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, yes | 20:00 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent i wish alsa implemented all that. anyways. thanks. there had been some improvement when i installed pulseaudio, but that broke other things with sound, so i had to take it off. | 20:01 |
| brophat | anyone know of a way to get xmms working without having to close all browser windows? | 20:01 |

| * cwillu wins (but is gone for real now) | 20:01 | |
| Andeh | Hi. I installed Gutsy, and... it doesn't recognise my usb stick | 20:01 |
| david | any special stick? | 20:01 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, if you're doing a lot of customization you might want to compile the latest alsa, just to make sure you have all the available features. There could be some dependencies from sound programs on said features | 20:01 |
| silent | it really isn't all that difficult | 20:02 |
| Andeh | david: Nope. And it worked fine before. | 20:02 |
| david | I haven't had trouble with any stick at all (or phone for that matter :) ) | 20:02 |
| foo | cwillu: how do you win? | 20:02 |
| Andeh | lol | 20:02 |
| Andeh | me neither | 20:02 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, I can guide you throught the compile if you want | 20:02 |

| foso | rhthymbox just quit playing, i get a red symbol next to each song i try to click on, it was just working, any idea whats up? | 20:03 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent it's ok, i'll sit that one out, and wait for hardy to become stable. i'd mainly use sound for movies, but im not exactly watching a lot of movies recently, so not a big problem. just thought i'd try fixing it if not a lot of hassle while i had some time. | 20:03 |
| david | maverique: you get closed from the session? | 20:04 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent i'll bear what you said in mind though, in case i feel like compiling it, if i have any problems i might look you up. | 20:04 |
| prince_jammys | maverique: you have a black screen between the boot menu and when you login? | 20:04 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, it's really not a hassle at all, I don't know why some people think compiling is a complex procedure | 20:04 |
| silent | takes as much work as installing the package | 20:04 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent didn't say complex. hehe. just hassle. | 20:04 |
| maverique | after he showed me the loading bar i get blackscreen and monitor goes to standby | 20:04 |
| maverique | so at he login i can't see what i am doing | 20:05 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, it wont cause any inconsistencies with packages either, you can still move up to hardy afterward, I don't see why you wouldn't try this | 20:05 |
| O987987 | when i tryed to install the package manually it tries to download other .deb files from the net, i have thoese files locally that it tries to download. i dont have internet acc | 20:05 |

| silent | peppe, make via start first? | 20:06 |
| L3ttuc3 | silent i dont like risk. it ain't exactly broke, just not working optimally. so im not going to try fixing it now. i've got everything working as i want. had to reinstall everything related to sound to get it working properly after i messed with pulseaudio from the repos. | 20:06 |

| Seveas | Hilikus, mysqldump -uroot -p | 20:07 |

| O987987 | PEPPE, nothing before dpkg when i type in terminal? | 20:15 |
| bluefox83 | pr0gr4mm3r, nope... | 20:15 |
| filthpig | !dvd | 20:16 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 20:16 |
| mohbana | !songbird > mohbana | 20:16 |
| bluefox83 | this laptop has 2 headphone jacks too | 20:16 |
| mohbana | !soundbird > mohbana | 20:16 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, being a hardware guy i belive that the problem may be the jack itself, most of the time for a headphone jack to cut off the speakers it has to have a tiny switch in it, which is disabled when the headphones are inserted, opening the circuit from the speakers and re-routing it to the headphones. nice name BTW ;) | 20:16 |
| O987987 | sudo apt install dpkg -i file1.deb file2.deb ...? | 20:16 |
| O987987 | is that wrong? | 20:17 |
| bluefoxx | peppe, but will it screw up my system at all? | 20:17 |
| bluefox83 | bluefoxx, thanks, it's my cherokee name + my birth year :) | 20:17 |
| peppe | O987987: yes, of course. sudo dpkg -i files | 20:17 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, i make my own audio equipment. | 20:17 |
| maverique | hmm i need the 3D speedup here so i have to live with the black logon screen | 20:17 |
| bluefox83 | bluefoxx, and i was using the headphones that came with the laptop | 20:17 |
| O987987 | ok thnx | 20:17 |
| peppe | bluefoxx: I don't think so (may be you've just many video drivers installed) | 20:18 |
| peleg | does anyone knows what "ttf2tfm" command should be, or when can I find it? | 20:18 |
| johnficca | how do I get a java.jar file to autostart? | 20:18 |
| Andeh | Hi. I want to run my existing windows install under Gutsy. I know VMWare server can do this, but suddenly VMWare isn't in the repos anymore. What's the easiest way to get it? | 20:18 |
| Seveas | !find ttf2tfm | 20:18 |
| peppe | jay: k9copy, dvdbackup, k3b... | 20:18 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, ok, well then it must have a sensor switch in it and it would have been detected by the drivers for the product in windows | 20:18 |
| bluefox83 | since alsa doesn't recognize that there are headphones on this laptop, i think i should likely do the alsa-config thing to make it re-sense everything... | 20:19 |
| PaPaFD | Have a dual boot system XP and Gutsy on same drive I know it is possible to shrink the XP partition Is there a way to add the free space that would create to the Gutsy Install | 20:19 |
| peleg | it is something about true type fonts, and I should run it, but I get "command not found"... | 20:19 |
| ubotu | File ttf2tfm found in freetype1-tools | 20:19 |
| Seveas | Andeh, vmware server exists in the canonical partner repo at archive.canonical.com | 20:19 |
| peleg | Seveas: were you trying the bot? | 20:19 |
| pr0gr4mm3r | bluefoxx: Yes, most machines do that on a hardware level. I have a Compaq Evo that doesn't do it at the hardware level, but it has that option that allows it to sense it in the mixer. | 20:19 |
| peleg | oh, thanks. | 20:19 |
| Seveas | peleg, yes and it answered :) | 20:19 |
| peleg | :-) | 20:19 |
| angelus_ | hey all | 20:19 |
| Andeh | Seveas: Thanks! Found it | 20:19 |
| johnficca | do I type java -jar /some/jar/file.jar in the autostart gui? | 20:19 |
| bluefox83 | how do i make alsa go through it's whole sensing thing? | 20:19 |
| jay | peppe: thanks, i'll take a look at them | 20:20 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, i know that this machine will not cut off speakers if i plug in headphones in the front, so i plug my speakers into a plug that is controlled by a light switch | 20:20 |
| akafurious | hey bluefox | 20:20 |
| jay | exit | 20:21 |
| cheesypieces | guys, is there a key combination i can press to change workspaces? i'm thinking sort of similar to alt-tab | 20:21 |
| peppe | ctrl tab? | 20:22 |
| bluefox83 | !alsa-config | 20:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about alsa-config - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:22 |
| bluefox83 | dang | 20:22 |
| bluefoxx | cheesypieces, super+tab? | 20:22 |
| nickrud | cheesypieces: clt-alt-right/left arrows | 20:22 |
| bluefox83 | i don't remember how to get alsa to go through it's entire setup | 20:22 |
| cheesypieces | nickrud: thats it, thanks | 20:22 |
| brobostigon | cheesypieces: ctrl + alt + right arrow / left arrow, i think | 20:22 |

| Davinator_ | I am still having wireless network troubles, is there someone willing to help me troubleshoot for a little while? | 20:23 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, try this dpkg-reconfigure alsa | 20:23 |
| bruenig | Davinator_: what happens when you do iwlist scan | 20:23 |
| pr0gr4mm3r | bluefox*, reconfiguring the alsa-base package might do something | 20:23 |
| brobostigon | filthpig: what do you mean, install dvds?? | 20:24 |
| filthpig | eh | 20:24 |
| silent | L3ttuc3, "tar xvf alsa<tab>" "cd alsa<tab>" "sudo apt-get install build-essential" "./configure" "make" "sudo make install" | 20:24 |

| Seveas | you can | 20:25 |

| krim | magnetron: thanks | 20:34 |
| afancy | i want to install ubuntu, as Fedora 8 is unstable | 20:34 |
| pr0gr4mm3r | bluefox83, i think you probably have the wrong device selected, change to the other ones and see what switched you can see in the preferences | 20:34 |
| belor2 | rmorgan: i cant find the config file | 20:34 |
| afancy | Fedora 8 always crashed | 20:34 |
| bluefoxx | afancy, on the ubuntu livecd delete the paritition with fedore and install ubuntu into the now-empty paritition | 20:35 |
| prince_jammys | afancy: then disregard the above, i thought you wanted something different --- i do not know how to install ubuntu without a cd | 20:35 |

| Indiadev_Techie | afancy: is it does crash very often... | 20:35 |
| afancy | yes | 20:35 |
| Indiadev_Techie | afancy: ubuntu cd ??? | 20:35 |
| afancy | very often | 20:35 |
| afancy | yes. | 20:35 |
| bluefox83 | pr0gr4mm3r, i looked through both, and there are no options for headphones, period | 20:36 |
| afancy | I just download ubuntu | 20:36 |
| dgjones | magick, i'm not sure then, i find if i mount via /media they appear on the desktop, if i mount via /mnt they don't appear, can't suggest anything else to try | 20:36 |
| Davinator_ | what steps can I take to troubleshoot my wireless card? | 20:36 |
| bluefox83 | pr0gr4mm3r, this is the first time i've ever had this issue with a ubuntu installation... | 20:36 |
| bluefoxx | afancy, download and burn a 1.70 livecd iso and burn it with some windows cdmaker program or order a free cd or two | 20:36 |
| Indiadev_Techie | afancy: then burn it on a cd n install it.... | 20:36 |
| pr0gr4mm3r | bluefox83, it won't have "headphones" in the options, it will be something like "Line Jack Sense" or something with "Sense" in it | 20:36 |

| === quaalx is now known as quaal | ||
| prince_jammys | MrPiracy: all i can suggest is something very basic, like deleting your preferences and see if that changes anything | 20:43 |
| MC_Lightning | and the controls appear in alsa mixer..but only the front channels give sound | 20:43 |
| bluefox83 | bluefoxx, that's about the coolest thing i have ever heard of.... | 20:43 |
| brobostigon | Davinator_: what i do know, is that if you use ndiswrapper, you need to disable linux's own drivers first, or the windows drivers you add with ndiswrapper wont work, | 20:43 |
| Boglizk | I get "ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused" What do i do? | 20:43 |

| FourX4Luvn | Ok guys.. I have a problem. I do lots of work with remote X. Running several X servers on my workstation and running remote apps from several different computers.. All this wasn't a problem until I was tasked with doing the same thing with a Mac OS X machine. I can't seem to find any information where the Mac is the one serving the applications. Anyone have any resources they could point me to? | 21:43 |
| Liono | any body knows at where can i see screen lock and unlock logs? | 21:44 |

| FourX4Luvn | scag: I'd guess another 10-15 minutes. Resizing partitions is a very slow process. But, as someone else said, don't even think about stopping it. I'm afraid you're stuck regardless of how long it takes, unless you are ok with risking complete data destruction. | 21:49 |

| j0hng4lt | I have read the wiki | 21:51 |
| FourX4Luvn | scag: Right. It doesn't show estimated time because there's not really an accurate way to judge. It depends on how much data it has to move, as well as how large the drive is, the drive speed, etc. | 21:51 |
| deniz_ | can sum1 help me share an internet connection with router, i alredy followed this guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetConnectionSharing?highlight=%28connection%29%7C%28internet%29%7C%28sharing%29) (xept last command cuz i dont no wat a nameserver is) | 21:51 |

| DIL | d | 21:51 |
| bluefox83 | Yodud1, i don't know where you can get it...it's likely they only released it for their stuff and no one released it for anything else...is it a gnome theme? | 21:51 |

| prince_jammys | Yodud1: isnt their theme just gnome? | 21:52 |
| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Nameserver is your DNS settings. Run 'cat /etc/resolv.conf' the entries after 'nameserver' are the addresses you want | 21:52 |
| Yodud1 | bluefox83: it's a gnome theme yes, i'm sure it's available Red Hat is all about OpenSource | 21:52 |

| bluefox83 | knight666, do some research, took me 10 hours to get mine working right | 21:55 |
| adub | alexrudd thanks | 21:55 |
| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Use the top 'nameserver' entry for nameserver. | 21:55 |

| rsk | Liono: what's system admin tools? | 22:01 |
| maverique | it is a ACX 100 card on USB | 22:01 |

| alexrudd | @Syxx: does the installer not work? it worked fine for me straight from steampowered.com | 22:02 |
| Yodud1 | alexrudd: yes i was thinking that way cuz afterall it's much like RHEL or SLED ( ok even WAY better then SLED ), and they could always buy support from canonical in case they need really professional high-end stuff | 22:03 |
| bluefox83 | they can also wait till hardy heron is released, since that'll be a long term support release | 22:03 |

| FourX4Luvn | Liono: Best place to start is the command line. Start small, figure out what you want to do then search google for information. ubuntuforums.org is another great place for ubuntu specific information | 22:04 |

| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Nameserver goes in /etc/resolv.conf ip goes in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:08 |
| bluefox83 | cocox_, why are you using tab? | 22:09 |
| Syxx | running on wine Bluefox | 22:09 |
| UnMuse | Do new Ubuntu releases usually not have any documentation until several weeks after? | 22:09 |
| loa | <KiD_ChAoS> nope) | 22:09 |
| jpeterman | Whats the package name in the repositories for Konquerer? | 22:09 |
| UnMuse | Or do people tend to write things before the real release. | 22:09 |
| bluefox83 | Syxx, try installing wine-doors then using that to install it...it makes it kinda streamlines and not that hard to do... | 22:09 |
| cocox_ | bluefox83 afeter writing ifconfig i use tab to complete for example y press "e" and then TAB it should omplete to eth0 | 22:09 |
| arthurmaciel | between breezy, dapper and hoary, which is the latest stable version? | 22:09 |
| Syxx | wine-doors? what is that Bluefox | 22:10 |
| FourX4Luvn | cocox_: Try just plain 'ifconfig' What interfaces does it show? | 22:10 |
| glick | what the hell thunderbird doesnt ask me if i want to use ssl | 22:10 |
| glick | or if it should remimber my password | 22:10 |
| glick | the hell? | 22:10 |
| UnMuse | Breezy and Dapper are stable, Hoary isn't. | 22:10 |
| UnMuse | Dapper is newer. | 22:10 |
| bluefox83 | Syxx, wine-doors is wine, but they've made it kinda like a package management system for it, you open wine-doors and it swhows you a list of software you can install to your system that already works on their stuff...i know steam is one of those things' | 22:10 |
| magnetron | UnMuse: breezy is also unsupported. | 22:11 |
| UnMuse | Right | 22:11 |
| cocox_ | FourX4Luvn it list my wlan0 but when i press tab to watch the interfaces that the system recognizes it doesnt show it | 22:11 |
| UnMuse | Dapper is the only one with LTS right now | 22:11 |
| UnMuse | So probably that. | 22:11 |
| mysterycool | i downloaded realplayer 10 for unix in a .bin format. how do i run it? | 22:11 |
| jpeterman | Whats the package name in the repositories for Konquerer? sudo apt-get install ..? | 22:11 |
| UnMuse | Unless you want to wait until April. | 22:11 |
| Syxx | ok ill look into it | 22:11 |
| UnMuse | In which case Hoary becomes stable, new, and LTS'd until a long time from now. | 22:12 |
| alexrudd | mystery cool: chmod +x realplayer* | 22:12 |
| mrtsunami | jpatrick, sudo apt-get install konqueror | 22:12 |
| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, so how do i get into those locations? | 22:12 |
| alexrudd | ./realplayer* | 22:12 |
| jpatrick | mrtsunami: hi | 22:12 |
| UnMuse | That's probably what I'll do for my winxp laptop. | 22:12 |
| FourX4Luvn | cocox_: Interesting. I don't know why the autocompletion wouldn't work, but as long as ifconfig shows it.. Guess you'll just have to type out the whole interface name. | 22:12 |
| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Sorry.. have too many things going at once here.. What locations? | 22:12 |
| Darkmystere | Err my windows wont boot after i resized it | 22:12 |
| mrtsunami | jpeterman, ** sudo apt-get install konqueror | 22:12 |
| bluefox83 | for some odd reason, my eth connection keeps going up in number... | 22:13 |
| deniz_ | deniz_: Nameserver goes in /etc/resolv.conf ip goes in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:13 |
| UnMuse | Anyone know where I could find a list of known laptop issues? | 22:13 |
| theAtom | Darkmystere, why so dark today? | 22:13 |
| mysterycool | alexridd: wait the folder is called RealPlayer10GOLD.bin. shall i type: chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin* | 22:13 |
| cocox_ | FourX4Luvn but the problem is when i want to install vmware it just recognizes lo and eth0 | 22:13 |
| mysterycool | ? | 22:13 |
| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, deniz_: Nameserver goes in /etc/resolv.conf ip goes in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:13 |
| bluefox83 | right now my eth connection is eth22, and i have no idea why.... | 22:13 |
| theAtom | Darkmystere, no wonder, because you made the #1 classical mistake, you resized from WRONG end | 22:13 |
| jpeterman | mrtsunami, thanks i musta spelled it wrong | 22:13 |
| Darkmystere | theatom, huh? | 22:13 |
| Darkmystere | I used Gparted.. | 22:13 |
| mrtsunami | jpeterman, probably that :) | 22:13 |
| cocox_ | FourX4Luvn and i guess is not recognizing wlan0 for the same reason i cant list it | 22:13 |
| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Either use the command line or nautilus and go to those directories | 22:13 |
| UnMuse | Poor Darkmystere... | 22:13 |
| mysterycool | alexridd: wait the folder is called RealPlayer10GOLD.bin. shall i type: chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin* | 22:13 |
| UnMuse | I'm sorry. | 22:13 |
| mysterycool | alexrudd: wait the folder is called RealPlayer10GOLD.bin. shall i type: chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin* | 22:14 |
| theAtom | Darkmystere, you gparted wrong way and wiped your beginning data thats needed | 22:14 |
| Darkmystere | so i should of used gparted theATom? | 22:14 |
| alexrudd | mysterycool: Use "RealPlayer10GOLD.bin" then. "RealPlayer10GOLD*", "RealPlayer*" would also word | 22:14 |
| theAtom | Darkmystere, u didnt use gparted? | 22:14 |
| Darkmystere | *shouldnt | 22:14 |
| Syxx | BlueFox its a download right | 22:14 |
| alexrudd | mystercool: Using * at the end tries to find a file with the first characters you specified, and I just didn't know the actual filename | 22:14 |
| alexrudd | *work | 22:14 |
| FourX4Luvn | cocox_: Hrm.. I don't know what to say about that.. Perhaps it's a VMWare issue. I dont know.. sorry | 22:14 |
| theAtom | Darkmystere, gparted is not perfect, and i think its user error though | 22:15 |
| Darkmystere | theAtom, i used Gparted was asking if i shouldnt of used it.. | 22:15 |
| Mickmeister | Anybody know any Perl? | 22:15 |
| bluefox83 | Syxx, yeah i think you find wine-doors at wine-doors.org | 22:15 |
| theAtom | Darkmystere, what did u do? | 22:15 |
| cocox_ | FourX4Luvn all right thanks | 22:15 |

| afancy | Hi, how to install Gnome desktop ? | 22:15 |

| Ashfire908 | is there a way to setup a computer up so all new incoming connections on a interface are forwarded to a certain address on a certain interface? | 22:16 |
| alexrudd | mysterycool: Nothing is supposed to happen yet. That's just making the file executable so you can run it with the next line | 22:16 |
| alexrudd | mystercool: Once's it's executable (+x), you can use "./RealPlayer*" | 22:16 |
| mc__ | my wife erased my mozilla bookmarks and they are not in the backups in the .mozilla folder, can I get my files back ? | 22:16 |
| FourX4Luvn | cocox_: Personally, I think VirtualBox is much easier to install and get running anyway. But there are things that VirtualBox can't do that VMWare can.. and vice versa of course. | 22:16 |
| mc__ | as anyone an idea to save firefox's bookmarks ? | 22:16 |
| KnK9 | Good evening | 22:17 |
| mc__ | i was having like 100 bookmarks :( | 22:17 |
| alexrudd | mc__: Use Foxmarks :P Or you can export them as html, but I think it's too late now | 22:17 |
| mc__ | oh no | 22:17 |
| yy | hwoto get rid of ubuntu splash screen when starting up??? | 22:17 |
| mc__ | but usually i get them back in the history | 22:17 |
| mc__ | .... | 22:17 |
| FourX4Luvn | mc__: Check on firefox's addons site.. they have a few add ons that will sync your bookmarks with an offsite storage. Won't help you now, but will prevent it from happening again. | 22:17 |
| alexrudd | mc__ : How recently was this? You might be able to undelete the bookmarks.html file, but I doubt it | 22:17 |
| afancy | Hi, how to install Gnome desktop? | 22:17 |
| mc__ | is there a way to come to an ancient configuration | 22:17 |
| riotkittie | there arent any in bookmark-backups? >_> | 22:18 |
| mc__ | undelete ? | 22:18 |
| mc__ | could be cool | 22:18 |
| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, so wat terminal command would i use for nameserver then for ip? | 22:18 |
| prince_jammys | yy: change the image to something else you mean? | 22:18 |
| mc__ | riotkittie > in th backups there are just today's bookmarks | 22:18 |
| yy | naw. i mean get rid of it so i can see what's happening | 22:18 |
| cocox_ | FourX4Luvn VirtualBox allows you to create time point to restore? | 22:18 |
| FourX4Luvn | cocox_: Yes | 22:18 |
| alexrudd | mc__ Unfortunately I don't know anything about that, besides the fact that you are looking for a file named bookmarks.html | 22:18 |
| yy | prince_jammys ^ | 22:18 |
| mc__ | So I could undelete bookmarks.html ? | 22:18 |
| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Try pico... eg. 'pico /etc/resolv.conf' | 22:18 |
| prince_jammys | yy: i believe that is in /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:18 |
| mc__ | how to install undelete ? | 22:19 |
| alexrudd | mc__ An undelete utility *might* be able to recover the file for you - but I highly doubt it | 22:19 |
| yy | i was hoping for a keystroke | 22:19 |
| prince_jammys | yy: where it gives options for boot | 22:19 |
| mc__ | alexrudd > is there a package like that in the repository ? | 22:19 |
| alexrudd | mc__ I have absolutely no idea; I've never used one | 22:19 |
| FourX4Luvn | mc__: Stupid question perhaps, but have you tried checking the recyle bin? Perhaps she only moved them there? | 22:19 |
| mysterycool | alexrudd: something is wrong | 22:19 |
| mc__ | no | 22:19 |
| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, now wat? | 22:19 |
| mc__ | they're not in. | 22:19 |

| Indiadev_Techie | Liono: using Mingw + ellipse | 22:21 |
| FourX4Luvn | Liono: There's a ton of options out there.. if you've never done any programming/scripting before, perhaps start with bash. Sort of like Windows batch files, but more powerful... Google for 'bash scripting' | 22:21 |

| liquid | i always get a blackscreen when i press the "insatall an start" ubuntu button | 22:21 |

| mad_max02 | is there any program like PHP Developer for linux ?? | 22:36 |

| bluefoxx | hey, i have this old 320 meg seagate harddisk that still works, give me some ideas as to what i should do with it. im think throw together a p1 with puppy just for the hell of it or take it apart for the platters[i decorate my walls with em XD] and magnets | 22:36 |
| Indiadev_Techie | Liono: php is much more flexible than other languages... | 22:36 |
| FourX4Luvn | MiVo: Try deleting the .deb and redownloading it | 22:36 |
| maverique | how do i get the firmware of the TI ACX100 on the Ubuntu 7.10 istallation, without internet on the machine? | 22:36 |
| doofy` | FourX4Luvn, Failed to access '/dev/hda1': No such file or directory I should mention also that this occured immediatly after hardy heron upgrade. It might be better for me to take this to ubuntu+1 | 22:36 |
| MiVo | erUSUL: I already did that, same problem | 22:36 |
| Liono | Indiadev_Techie ok | 22:36 |
| burkmat | cfdisk keeps telling me "Wrote partition table, but re-read table failed. Reboot to update table." - Is this something I should worry about/fix or can I just ignore it? | 22:37 |
| FourX4Luvn | doofy`: What version where you running before? | 22:37 |
| bluefox83 | bluefoxx, install a very basic ubuntu server install on it, then use it as the / partition, and use another disk to hold everything else... | 22:37 |
| j0hng4lt | okay, I have read the wikis, tried everything, contemplating reinstall (if I can figure that out) - wireless worked last night, not today.... | 22:37 |
| Indiadev_Techie | mad_max02: ther r soo many out ther....go google up buddy .... | 22:37 |
| prince_jammys | Liono: the html tutorials i put up there get installed in the folder /usr/share/doc | 22:37 |
| doofy` | FourX4Luvn, gutsy | 22:37 |
| j0hng4lt | will not 'search' for connections | 22:37 |
| mad_max02 | Indiadev_Techie, I did google and I got PHP Designer under Wine | 22:37 |
| j0hng4lt | it is a broadcom, did the ubuntu forum to check the driver it checks out | 22:38 |
| Indiadev_Techie | yes... but i dont recommend php designer...for u..its not free... | 22:38 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, XD, that might work, if i knew anything about networking properly and had a burner...[not to mention a p1 mobo, i have 10 p1s sitting aroundd, what to do with *those*] | 22:38 |
| j0hng4lt | did the restricted firmware | 22:38 |
| FourX4Luvn | doofy`: Interesting.. Yeah, if it worked under gutsy it should under Hardy I would think.. but then again it IS alpha :) I have no experience with Hardy though.. so yes, unless someone else here has any input... Sorry | 22:38 |
| j0hng4lt | it all quit when i installed apache | 22:38 |

| Indiadev_Techie | mad_max02: k...thats gr8... | 22:39 |
| doofy` | FourX4Luvn, no worries, thanks a lot for your help. Ill migrate back to gutsy if i need to. Figured id just try to help | 22:39 |
| doofy` | erUSUL, thank you I knew that. I figured it was a more general question but most likely not. | 22:39 |
| FourX4Luvn | doofy`: Glad to help.. Just hope you haven't lost any critical data | 22:39 |
| bluefoxx | bluefox83, true, but im waiting on my school to get me into the new cisco program they found for me | 22:39 |
| doofy` | FourX4Luvn, everything critical is backed up :) lucky. | 22:39 |
| j0hng4lt | is there anything, short of a reinstall, I can do ? | 22:40 |

Any hints appreciated! | 22:42 |
| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, it seemed to me that there were no errors, my only problems r 2 problems: confusion with the last step and the fact that it doesnt work | 22:42 |

| Ballena | does anyone here use GNU Screen? | 22:44 |
| j0hng4lt | hmmm, I have loved everything about ubuntu so far (24 hours) - but this wireless crap sucks ass compared to Windows | 22:44 |
| zarath76 | Ballena: I do | 22:44 |
| FourX4Luvn | deniz_: Ok.. then go back to that tutorial.. and try the approach that mentions firestarter under 'other approaches' that should do most the work for you. Install dhcp3-server on the server machine (the one connected to the internet), then install firestarter on the server... then set your client machine's gateway to the server machine's address | 22:45 |
| bluefox83 | mad_max02, also, cakephp | 22:45 |
| liquid | is the desktop cd the live cd? | 22:45 |
| FourX4Luvn | and the client machine to get it's ip address over DHCP | 22:45 |
| DRebellion | !anyone | Ballena | 22:45 |

| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, i have firestarter and the dhcp3 server thing, i dint get the last thing | 22:45 |
| Ballena | zarath76: is there a way to get rid of that annyting thing that you can't press backspace when no carter is marked? I get a stupid Wuff! wuff! vbell all the time. | 22:45 |
| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, like wat do i do? | 22:45 |
| bluefoxx | anyone know if they still sell travan tr4 cartridgs for a seagate tape drive? | 22:46 |

| deniz_ | FourX4Luvn, i dont no if its working, all i no is i have firestarter and in synaptic it showed that i have the dhcp3 server thing | 22:48 |
| j0hng4lt | would installing apache2 via apt-get have messed up my wireless? | 22:48 |
| bluefox83 | bluefoxx, get a greendot card from walmart then just load however much money you want to spend on the card, and use it just like a credit card on ebay :) | 22:48 |

| FourX4Luvn | khaotik: what kind of internet connection do you have? | 22:56 |
| leeping_ | DRebellion, it's because I'm using the LiveCD over the network. It hangs at the "Scanning the CD-ROM" step | 22:56 |
| khaotik | road runner | 22:56 |
| kbrooks | MissPenguin, there is still add/remove, etc. | 22:56 |
| bluefox83 | khaotik, then you need to configure it to use upnp and then set your router to expect the connection from that piece of software... | 22:57 |
| boohoo | is there a way to not cancel the running program, and still put it background | 22:57 |
| boohoo | I tried Ctrl+C that exits it | 22:57 |

| ompaul | !nickspam | Monobi|GH3 | 23:19 |
| ubotu | Monobi|GH3: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair to new users. (Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.) The same goes for using noisy away messages; use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently.

| ubotu | mysterycool: 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+) | 23:50 |
| FourX4Luvn | !repeat | mysterycool | 23:50 |
| ubotu | mysterycool: 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 | 23:50 |
| _Oz_ | !patience ompaul | 23:51 |
| Elad | jesus this channel needs a support staff | 23:51 |
| _Oz_ | !patience | ompaul | 23:51 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about patience ompaul - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:51 |
| ubotu | ompaul: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 23:51 |

| Dr_Willis | !vnc | jacob_ | 23:56 |
| ubotu | jacob_: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 23:56 |
| mysterycool | odd-rationale: ? huh? | 23:56 |
