| prince_jammys | __Oz__: when you do ctrl-alt-f1 for example, you go to a console (tty - teletype terminal) --- try it.. come back here with ctrl-alt-f7 | 00:03 |
| bsheen_ | is that more conifgurable?????? | 00:03 |
| smelroy | natlinuxnewb, have you tried just copying the data directory? I would think that would work | 00:03 |
| kakei | who can help me setting grub to be able to run vista | 00:03 |

| bsheen_ | can i get to a command line without init=2 in grub boot parameters??? | 00:03 |
| warriorforgod | weeman13221: You should now be able to go into the screen resolution setting and set it to what you want. Also run glxgears and see if it is running correctly. | 00:03 |

| usr13 | Devourer: Do you have build-essential installed? | 00:04 |
| bsheen_ | that would work wonderfully once xbunutu is installed ... but with the current xubuntu 7.10 i can not get that far into the install | 00:04 |
| prince_jammys | __Oz__: no prob, the tty is terminology from old times | 00:04 |
| root_____ | Odd-rationale: shouldnt i sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg && sudo apt-get install xorg ? | 00:05 |
| Devourer | usr13, I'm not sure... how would I check for that in the console? | 00:05 |
| bsheen_ | can i drop back to the command line with init=2 in boot parameters and reconfigure before the install | 00:05 |
| bsheen_ | and will the install reflect my "live" changes | 00:05 |
| A[s]H | salve | 00:05 |
| mssever | alex___: I don't think that it has anything to do with X; It's something to do with one of your boot scripts or something it's trying to start. The problem is determining which one. | 00:05 |
| root_____ | mssever: it says xserver-org is not installed | 00:05 |

| LinuxRulez | Does anyone know how to install and configure inadyn in Gutsy ubuntu | 00:14 |
| Flannel | Hydroxide: Not really, aptitude does some stuff with its own database, which you have to use aptitude only to reap the benefits of, apt-get has autoremove (for a while now) which fills that same gap (removing unused depends) which doesn't require you to use apt-get only. | 00:14 |

| shiftah | i would like to use a script instead | 00:14 |

| Flannel | Hydroxide: aptitude really shows its benefits when used interactively | 00:15 |
| Hydroxide | Flannel: I know they're both available in main and very well supported. I ask because e.g. Debian has said in its release notes since sarge that aptitude was preferred because it resolved complicated dependency situations better. I was wondering if that was applicable to ubuntu as well, especially in light of how the command-not-found subsystem tells people to install missing commands via apt-get | 00:15 |

| mssever | Hydroxide: I prefer aptitude, but opinions probably differ | 00:15 |

| socialdtk | Who was having trouble with xorg and ATI card? | 00:33 |
| socialdtk | I had the same problem and would be glad to help. | 00:33 |
| norv | credible: that theme engine for GTK to make it use Qt themes is really poor quality, though | 00:33 |

| Bingster | gyaresu: maybe lilo is a better option? | 00:35 |
| Townk | credible: ok, tks | 00:35 |
| N86eAL | Easiest way to know what disc is what in the ubuntu installation, when both are identical, and the only thing you have are their mount points? | 00:35 |
| norv | Bingster: gyaresu: grub has burned me a few times. not sure if lilo is best but it's been the most reliable | 00:36 |

| vix | my friend is having problems to boot ubuntu 7.10 x64 live cd, i think its because of nvidia drivers, he gets an black screen? | 00:36 |

| Starnestommy | spudratic0: this channel does support 7.04 as well | 00:36 |
| danbhfive | spudratic0: i dont think there is a support room for that, 6.06 might be what you are looking for | 00:36 |
| spudratic0 | don't use the live cd it's crap install from text | 00:36 |

| cicero_b | Pricey: i did, but after i follow the instructions, nothing happens | 01:00 |
| danbhfive | root-----: those packages don't install anything, except other packages, so while you may have uninstalled a meta package, you may not have removed the other packages, you can try sudo apt-get autoremove but, if these are packages that were installed at installation time, that won;t work, ie it wont remove them | 01:00 |

| Dante123 | levander is there a GUI way of turning this on or off? I have turned a friend onto Ubuntu and need to send him simple instructions to follow for this. | 01:09 |

| spudratic0 | thanks danbhfive that helps as I can't see as it is and my monitor is dim never become a welder you will loose your after a while no mater what you do thanks again | 01:10 |
| levander | WhiteNerd: I think ssh is the easiest to set up, but having Samba setup is going to be the easiest for users to use. | 01:10 |
| deniz__ | Pricey, nvm its importing np | 01:10 |
| spudratic0 | sight | 01:11 |
| joecurlee | two_bits: i have alsa-base 1.0.14-1ubuntu2 which is supposedly the latest version | 01:11 |
| WhiteNerd | NORV: They would be able to just drag and drop the files into the shortcut right? | 01:11 |
| norv | levander: WhiteNerd: only for windows is samba easier for users to use, really | 01:11 |
| Dante123 | so levander if I edit the fstab file- do I just comment out the drives I don't want to mount on startup by putting a # in front of the line? | 01:11 |
| levander | norv: If you ahve samba already setup, it looks just like a regular folder on the desktop for the user | 01:11 |
| norv | WhiteNerd: yes, or scp filename user@server, if you are teaching command line | 01:11 |
| brazilian812 | anyone? i cant mount my flash drive. apparently an invalid mount option | 01:12 |

| recon | norv: k, thanks. | 01:13 |
| Thorsten11 | what norv said | 01:13 |
| Dante123 | so levander if I edit the fstab file- do I just comment out the drives I don't want to mount on startup by putting a # in front of the line? like this: | 01:13 |
| levander | Dante123: commenting out the line doesn't just turn automount off, it also turns off the ability to mount it via a simple 'mount /dev/xxx' command. You have to do the whole 'mount /dev/xxx /mnt/xxx' and any other necessary options on that command - which may be fine for you | 01:13 |
| root----- | danbhfive whats the name | 01:13 |

| levander | recon: norv I thought the question was like changing your login shell so that instead of it being like bash, it would be like ssh? ssh is used to connect to remote machines, on the machine you connect to, you get a login shell | 01:15 |
| brazilian812 | Anyone? a little helpxors over here is needed | 01:15 |

| WhiteNerd | NORV: thanks for all the help. Great guy. | 01:16 |
| recon | norv: also, is there any way to verify zsh is actually running in stead of bash? | 01:16 |
| levander | recon: My bad, I misread zsh as ssh. I think the command to change your default shell is just "chsh" - let me check. | 01:16 |
| two_bits | joecurlee: did upgrading alsa not work? | 01:16 |
| danbhfive | Dante123: try editing /etc/fstab and #commenting out the line that mounts it | 01:16 |
| danbhfive | prasanna: fat32 | 01:16 |
| levander | recon: I checked, just 'chsh' and answer questions to change it. | 01:16 |
| === tgandur is now known as ghanthar | ||
| prasanna | does fat32 have draw backs? | 01:17 |
| recon | levander: ok, thanks. | 01:17 |
| norv | recon: i think it's different enough just to look at the prompt. but use 'who' and that'll also show it | 01:17 |
| prasanna | like speed and performance? | 01:17 |
| Dante123 | okay danbhfive....that will just affect that one partition...not say the sda1 partition we still want mounted | 01:17 |
| joecurlee | two_bits: correct, i'm already up to date with version 1.0.14-1ubuntu2 | 01:17 |
| norv | recon: yeah chsh is probably safer than messing around in passwd | 01:17 |
| danbhfive | Dante123: its up to you, fstab controls all, so don't mess it up!! | 01:17 |
| joecurlee | at least that's according to synaptic | 01:17 |

| Dante123 | danbhfive..u got me scared cause its my friends computer. | 01:17 |
| prasanna | so what should i format it to? | 01:18 |
| two_bits | joecurlee: The latest 1.0.16. I used to have no sound, installing that fixed it | 01:18 |
| prasanna | the drive is 120 gigs, so it will be holding a lot of info, regularly accessed | 01:18 |
| danbhfive | Dante123: well, opening the file should scare you, just be careful what you edit, and don't delete, just #comment out with # | 01:18 |
| joecurlee | two_bits: thanks... synaptic needs to be refreshed :) | 01:18 |
| dsmith_ | two_bits: reinstalling alsa? | 01:18 |
| danbhfive | Dante123: *should NOT scare you | 01:18 |
| Agent_bob | prasanna ext3 windows can access ext# fs also with a special (free) driver. | 01:19 |
| prasanna | ok perfect | 01:19 |
| Dante123 | okay danbhfive I will only comment out lines...no editing or deleting. | 01:19 |
| prince_jammys | Dante123: place a # at the very beginning of the line | 01:19 |
| two_bits | dmsmith_: upgrading alsa, actually | 01:19 |
| prasanna | and ext3 performs well too? | 01:19 |
| Dante123 | And just the line that has to do with those partitions | 01:19 |
| Agent_bob | yes | 01:19 |
| prince_jammys | Dante123: correct | 01:19 |

| demon_spork | When I installed Ubuntu, it was /dev/sda3, but I had an empty space right in front of it. I then made a partition on that space, which changed ubuntu's partition to /dev/sda4. I managed to sort this out in menu.lst, but every time the kernel updates, it rewrites those opetions in menu.lst to (hd0,2) rather than the (hd0,3) that it changed to. How do I prevent it from changing that? | 01:21 |
| prasanna | anyone here know of an music player that utilizes coverflow of album art? i saw what the ipod touch cna do and i just love the concept. linux being opensource i just figured there must be something that does something similar to that, no? | 01:21 |

| two_bits | joecurlee: what soundcard are you using? | 01:22 |
| anzan | prasanna, there's something called Jukebox I think which does coverflow and works with your media app. | 01:22 |
| prasanna | i read songbird might do it, but can anyone confirm? | 01:22 |
| joecurlee | two_bits: i feel like an idiot, but i can't figure out how to upgrade alsa... synaptic is saying the version above, and apt-get didn't work | 01:22 |
| joecurlee | any suggestions? | 01:22 |
| prasanna | jukebox? ok let me google it | 01:22 |
| Agent_bob | Dante123 you can make a link to your script and have it open in a terminal. | 01:22 |
| Dante123 | okay...how is this look: cd /som/dir; exec codserver | 01:22 |
| joecurlee | two_bit: just saw your question: it's an on board with my amd64 | 01:23 |
| two_bits | joecurlee: synaptic won't do it, you have to do it manually from the console... fortunately, i have written a script that does just that | 01:23 |
| Dante123 | its for my kids to start the call of duty server | 01:23 |

| LjL | DianaIsGod, i'm not sure i quite remember what i did exactly. but it was most likely along the lines of sudo apt-get remove resolvconf network-manager (if i recall correctly, both are just recommended packages, not dependencies of ubuntu-desktop, so APT shouldn't complain too much). | 01:33 |
| endo | natlinuxnewb: I plug my computer into the tv via vga. the login screen comes up and then right when I boot into gnome the tv displays unsupported mode | 01:34 |

| prince_jammys | HaXiT: is the partition currently mounted? | 01:36 |
| Agent_bob | DianaIsGod yes. i don't remember which script is giving you the trouble but i do remember how to find out. sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf and reboot. it will cause something to complain about not being able to change /etc/resolv.conf :) | 01:36 |
| HaXiT | prince_jammys: yes | 01:36 |
| joecurlee | two_bits: in mythtv video and remote control work fine etc. and audio works from all other sources, but mythtv will not play any sound from live tv | 01:36 |

| endo | yeah! :) | 01:36 |
| endo | natlinuxnewb: yeah, thats exactly what I mean | 01:36 |
| natlinuxnewb | endo gotcha | 01:36 |
| two_bits | joecurlee: maybe i can't help you then, as I had no sound at ALL... still, i guess it's worth a shot... first, though, have you checked your volume sliders? | 01:36 |
| joecurlee | two_bits: but I'm guessing you're right about alsa... i just have to figure out how to get it upgraded | 01:37 |

| jrib | onemike: how are you determining that? | 01:54 |
| endo | natlinuxnewb: we need to figure out how to set the resolution to the right one | 01:54 |
| endo | I think that will fix the problem | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Technoid_India: *I* would.., cuz like i said, that 128mb, you're on the very bottom, and if your system is accessing swap w/ regularity, your system is gonna be slow as a snail | 01:54 |

| icesword | smile, u ? | 01:55 |
| jrib | endo: the wiki page tells you how to set custom resolutions. You need to be more specific as to what you are trying to do, what you did, and what the result was | 01:55 |
| __Oz__ | It's the only thing which will work OK with that tiny amt. of ram. | 01:55 |

| N6REJ_ | IndyGunFreak: well i´m not quite sure yet.... I KNOW i have no sound when you alert me... and I THINK i got sound now in the card itself... This is a new install of Studio | 02:10 |
| N6REJ_ | omar_: increase the buffer | 02:10 |
| natlinuxnewb | endo: Let us know if that works | 02:10 |
| omar_ | which buffer? | 02:10 |
| Pelo | omar_, it's pausing because it needs to fill the buffer, the speeding up is a bit of a bug, I suggest you pause the video when it starts downloading and play it only when the dl bar is filed up, you'll get a smoother play, this also happens occasionnaly in windows, it isn't just FF in Linux | 02:10 |
| N6REJ_ | omar_: the video buffer | 02:10 |

| unagi | Pelo: vlc and xine both want to open it like a folder playing the vob........is there not a way for kubuntu to see the iso like a disc | 02:14 |
| Pelo | vix, you can use i386 with a 64 bit processor and with 4 gb of ram no problem, but amd64 is still lacking in propriatary driver support and in small stuff like flash and other tidbits | 02:14 |

| root----- | bzip2: Can't guess original name for klast.000 -- using klast.000.out | 02:35 |
| gyaresu | I manually installed the nvidia 1.0-7185 driver. I re-installed the default 169.09 driver but now when I reboot I have to 'modprobe -r nvidia' then 'modprobe nvidia' to get the 169 version loaded. How can I get rid of the other one? | 02:36 |
| dolphin_noel | Pelo well i was just thinking why i need this modules and what they are for ... the dve and dbe module in xorg.conf if it is really necessary i load it or is good i load it | 02:36 |
| epssy | nvidia-settings uninstall | 02:37 |
| icesword | root-----,what are u trying to do? | 02:37 |
| Pelo | gyaresu, try and blacklise the one you donT' want from modprobe, man modprobe for the exact option | 02:37 |
| root----- | icesword extract a bzip2 file.............\ | 02:37 |
| Waffle | where is firefox installed? What is the path? | 02:37 |
| epssy | no, remove your original manual install with nvidia-settings uninstall, if it isn't uninstall man nvidia-settings to find out what it is | 02:37 |
| gyaresu | Pelo: cheers but they are both nvidia.ko So I'm not sure how to blacklist it. | 02:37 |
| epssy | if you just remove the module you'll still have conflicting files | 02:37 |
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, I think that regarding modules in xorg, you onjly need to list them in the module sectiosn ( near the top of the file) once they are installed | 02:38 |
| epssy | gyaresu: ffs I've given you the answer | 02:38 |
| Pelo | gyaresu, ins't there a differnce in the name ? | 02:38 |

| bascule | steven__: delete and recreate them in xp disc thingy | 02:41 |
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, in the xorg.conf file, toward the top of the file, there is a section MODULE , there aer several modules listed there, put dve and the other one in that list, taht should be it I think | 02:41 |
| bascule | !medibuntu > steven__ | 02:41 |
| === kirby is now known as Charitwo | ||
| epssy | steven_ usually you install windows xp first, onto a blank partition (or make it fat32 in gparted), then you install vista on to the second fat32 partition, then you install linux on the ext3 partition so that it gives you a bootloader that includes them all | 02:41 |
| Pelo | !dvd > nasamo check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 02:41 |
| icesword | steven_, u format all disk to ext3？ | 02:41 |
| bascule | oops sorry steven__ | 02:41 |
| steven__ | unfortunately yes! | 02:42 |
| dolphin_noel | Pelo yes i see many xorg.conf there whith this 2 modules just ... looks this working well whithout they :x and i don`t know what they are for to :x | 02:42 |

| natlinuxnewb | whats the human readable command for hardware info? | 02:42 |
| gyaresu | epssy: nvidia-settings has nothing to do with loading the correct driver module. | 02:42 |
| icesword | i do think for dualboot ,/boot is a must | 02:42 |
| epssy | gyaresu: you need to remove one of the installs of the driver to do what you want, there is no other way | 02:43 |
| bascule | natlinuxnewb: lspci or sudo lshw | less | 02:43 |
| gaurdro | how stable is using the 'unsupported updates' option for updates? | 02:43 |

| natlinuxnewb | bascule: short for... | 02:43 |
| Pelo | dolphin_noel, ah, sorry I get your question now , I thought you knew what they were for and just needed to load them in xorg. try looking then up in synaptic there should be a short destrcition with the package they are in | 02:43 |
| bascule | natlinuxnewb: what you asked, lists hardware | 02:43 |
| brian_ | hey does anyone know what to do about the autorun features? i can't get my new system to run install files | 02:43 |

| epssy | deniz__: your avi has a corrupt index (you need an index to fast forward and rewind)...all it does is makes one for you if it can (fixes it) | 02:44 |
| bascule | fapril: you probably need to change the write permissions for the drive mount point, directory where it is located | 02:44 |

| epssy | blackvd: it's the only way to do it when your system doesn't boot :p | 03:01 |
| epssy | deniz__: very odd :/ | 03:01 |
| smondo1 | blitzkrieg3: sup | 03:01 |
| blackvd | i was thinking under boot options or something | 03:01 |
| epssy | it may play them if they are avi's though, was what I was suggesting | 03:01 |
| deniz__ | epssy, now they work! | 03:01 |
| deniz__ | epssy, but with no sound?! | 03:01 |
| epssy | IndyGunFreak: with an error 22 he's not going to get help from there | 03:01 |
| bascule | is that where boot volumes get swapped about | 03:02 |
| epssy | mmm deniz__ are you using alsa? if not close kden and close any other application making sound, then try again | 03:02 |
| pawan | no | 03:02 |
| epssy | bascule: yes | 03:02 |
| epssy | yes it is pawa | 03:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | epssy: don't know, never had 22, usually 17.. so why would reinstalling grub from the live CD not work? | 03:02 |
| bascule | nasty | 03:02 |
| epssy | 22 is when the boot loader isn't where the mbr expects it to be | 03:02 |
| icesword | natlinuxnewb, who told u make /boot 8g? | 03:02 |
| epssy | first time i had it it took me 10 hours to work out (not internet to help :() | 03:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | ugh | 03:03 |
| Esaj | anyone else getting a problem with pycentral crashing? | 03:03 |
| pawan | then | 03:03 |
| epssy | don't use ubuntu so don't know Esaj :P | 03:03 |
| natlinuxnewb | :( i dont understand the /boot thinking. Everytime I put a install CD in, it asks me what one I want to install to anyway. icesword: nobody. that was the problem.Ive been guessing from get go. | 03:03 |
| * Esaj is using 8.04 | 03:03 | |
| deniz__ | epssy, wat do u mean am i using alsa? how do i check? and im starting to panick big time now since i alredy lost 10% for 1 day late and its rely late and im geting tired and i dint do nothing! :'( | 03:03 |
| epssy | Esaj: that's an unstable isn't it? if so wait till tonight or report it as a bug :P | 03:03 |
| pawan | what to do | 03:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | pawan: how did you partition your disk to install Ubuntu? | 03:04 |
| pawan | using ubuntu setup | 03:04 |
| jacob_ | when i try to shutdown i loose function to open things i can move my pointer and my system still responds butit is a pain having to keep restarting my xserver | 03:04 |
| bascule | pawan: maybe select a boot device from BIOS menu and go from there | 03:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | pawan: i mean, how.. how did you setup your partitions.. | 03:04 |
| pawan | i am in winxp now | 03:05 |
| jamiejackson | how do i send ctrl-alt-delete to a windows login whilst in Remote Desktop Client's VPN client? | 03:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | pawan: well how did you get to winxp if you're having grub issues? | 03:05 |
| bascule | pawan: so XP boots, oh well not as fatal as I feared | 03:05 |
| jacob_ | when i try to shutdown i loose function to open things i can move my pointer and my system still responds butit is a pain having to keep restarting my xserver | 03:05 |
| epssy | pawan okay your issues is that your bios is telling grub that the disc is say /disc0/part0 but you have a sata controller or some thing that causes the order to change to say /disc1/part0 and grub is still looking for /disc0/part0 and bang you get an error 22 | 03:05 |
| bascule | jacob_: compiz does that sometimes :( | 03:06 |
| epssy | try disabling all extra controllers you have on your disc | 03:06 |
| epssy | motherboard * | 03:06 |
| jamiejackson | (you've probably guessed that ctrl-alt-delete, itself, does not work ;-) | 03:06 |
| pawan | ok | 03:06 |
| epssy | or, the easy solution is to make a grub boot disc | 03:06 |
| epssy | then start your system that way | 03:06 |
| barrypaxton | can anyone help me im haveing a sound issue my sound was working before i updated my ubuntu studio but now i have no sound | 03:06 |
| norv | switching to lilo almost always fixes those problems | 03:06 |
| bascule | norv: I still love lilo :) | 03:06 |
| norv | it's not that I really care about lilo, it's that grub is just that bad | 03:07 |
| jacob_ | bascule, Is there a way to fix it?? | 03:07 |
| epssy | bascule: every one loves lilo till they lose their first system to it | 03:07 |
| icesword | !lilo > icesword | 03:07 |
| bascule | ctrl+alt+bksp kills X, works for me | 03:07 |
| pawan | how to make grub boot disc | 03:07 |
| epssy | pawan look on the grub site | 03:08 |
| bascule | epssy: i am still on grub with ubuntu, but .. well I might just lilo it | 03:08 |
| epssy | you'll also need to look at your current menu.lst in /boot/grub/ to find out what commands you need to put in | 03:08 |
| zulerdongle | hi there. does anyone know if there is a way to set a users files as private (the same/similar way that you do in windows) ? Thanks | 03:08 |
| DG19075 | !lilo>DG19075 | 03:08 |
| bascule | zulerdongle: chmod, or right click -> permissions | 03:08 |
| epssy | remember pawan that grub tab completions hard drive references, so if you get stuck just 'fish' around for which hard drive is your primary one | 03:08 |
| imc1 | Hello; I recently hosed my monitor settings, ran the rediscover script ( sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) but am still having trouble. Before I was able to enable desktop effects and now I am not. Can anyone help? | 03:09 |
| zulerdongle | bascule thanks ill try it | 03:09 |
| jacob_ | bascule, Is there a way to fix it?? | 03:09 |
| bascule | jacob_: nit that I know of, other than patience for an update | 03:09 |
| browniehead | the icon that allows me to access my windows hard drive partition dissapeared, how do i get it back | 03:09 |
| epssy | imc1: rediscover wipes your xorg conf file, you probably had some compiz settings in their, or some driver specific ones | 03:09 |
| norv | epssy: doesn't if it can't find the grub boot, which is the problem with having the boot partition on SATA | 03:09 |
| imc1 | epssy; cool, thanks. Can you point me to a compiz how to? | 03:10 |
| natlinuxnewb | Ahah! I'm trying to resize my window and it keeps snapping back to the top after going all wobbly | 03:10 |
| icesword | browniehead, mount it first | 03:10 |
| mike_ | hey guys whenever i type sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start it justs fails any ideas | 03:10 |
| mike_ | i have mysql installed | 03:10 |
| browniehead | how do i mount it? | 03:10 |
| bascule | imc1: check xorg.conf for Driver settings if it is vesa that is why, change it too reflect the graphics card you have | 03:10 |
| epssy | norv: not that I'm aware of, at least since the .16 kernel | 03:10 |
| Jangari | browniehead: try "mount -a" | 03:10 |
| imc1 | bascule, thanks, checking | 03:10 |
| epssy | I used to have to boot from a grub disc every time during .8 through to .16 kernel because I had a pata controller and sata controller as pci cards :P was a pain | 03:11 |
| icesword | browniehead, maybe it is mount /dev/(s)hda1 /media | 03:11 |
| browniehead | it sais only root can do that | 03:11 |
| jacob_ | bascule, damn that sucks because i installed the xgl-xsever package the other day to play with compiz some more and it just starded after i did that and ran it | 03:11 |
| Jangari | okay, then "sudo mount -a" | 03:11 |
| browniehead | oh ok | 03:11 |
| imc1 | bascule, nope, the right card is in there | 03:11 |
| tarelerulz | anyone install ekiga for Ubuntu 7.10 and have sound problems with it . | 03:11 |
| Jangari | assuming it's in your fstab | 03:11 |
| norv | epssy: if grub can't find the stage 1.5, it can't go on. which is before it even tries to load a kernel or chain load anything | 03:11 |
| bascule | jacob_: you don't need that AFAIK | 03:11 |
| _Oz_ | fehhhhhh | 03:11 |
| epssy | norv: hence the need for a grub boot disc | 03:12 |
| bascule | imc1: try glxinfo in an X terminal | 03:12 |
| browniehead | oh ok, is it not showing up cuz i did a hard shut down | 03:12 |
| pawan | can i use pen drive to load grub boot disc | 03:12 |
| * bascule actually hates x issues with a passion | 03:12 | |
| Jangari | mm, probably | 03:12 |
| imc1 | bascule, ok | 03:12 |
| killown | I cannot get w32codecs on apt-get | 03:12 |
| epssy | pawan I believe so, just make sure your bios lets you put removable devices at the top of the boot order | 03:12 |
| killown | I have enable anything? | 03:13 |
| Jangari | browniehead: does it usually display as an icon on the desktop? | 03:13 |
| bascule | yes | 03:13 |
| phroughy | is it possible to install firefox 2 and firefox 3 at the same time? | 03:13 |
| epssy | killown: aptitude search w32codec | 03:13 |
| browniehead | yea | 03:13 |
| Jangari | nav to /media, browniehead | 03:13 |
| killown | aptitude search w32codec nothing happen | 03:13 |
| epssy | or killown google ubuntu restricted drivers and go to the ubuntu wiki entry and follow that guide | 03:13 |
| browniehead | also my links to windows folders like my movies and what not are broken | 03:13 |
| imc1 | bascule, http://pastebin.com/m782c377 | 03:14 |

| adorablepuppy | My Ubuntu Gutsy has been hard freezing since I moved to a new board. No kernel panic, no magic sysrq recovery working, nothing. | 03:14 |
| kostkon | killown, add the medibuntu repo (http://medibuntu.org/ | 03:14 |
| Jangari | browniehead: is this a partition on the same hard drive? are you running dual-boot? | 03:14 |
| browniehead | dual boot on the same hard drive | 03:14 |
| jacob_ | bascule, once i enabled it i went into a screen that asked if i wanted to use low graphics setting so i went to a prompt and i found it messed with my xorg.conf and changed the device back to intel before it was vesa | 03:14 |
| modoc | Is there a command line util to get the file extension of a file? something like basename does | 03:15 |
| bascule | imc1: looks OKish, now run compiz --replace in a terminal | 03:15 |
| killown | ok | 03:15 |

| pawan | its in tar.gz format | 03:15 |
| Jangari | browniehead: there's some command that forces an unmount of any devices that weren't unmounted correctly, but I can't remember what it is, | 03:15 |
| AlexE | What is the best way to stick it to the man (windows)? | 03:16 |
| Laney_Family | hello? | 03:16 |
| craigbass1976 | nor can I seem to get an updated list of servers | 03:16 |
| craigbass1976 | AlexE, Stop using windows | 03:16 |
| bascule | jacob_: imc1 there is some difference between xgl and aiglx, they don't get on, I am sorry I can't remeber the specifics thoigh | 03:16 |
| Laney_Family | wow, i finaly got this to work | 03:16 |
| browniehead | or just stop buying it | 03:16 |
| AlexE | craigbass1976, I'm not using windows. Though, I'm about to partition my drive so I can put a CRACKED windows on it so I can run some software | 03:16 |
| craigbass1976 | Laney_Family, you sure did. Welcome | 03:16 |
| Jangari | using mac would probably be the best way, AlexE, since that means someone else is getting your money, rather than no one else getting it | 03:16 |
| Laney_Family | thanks craig | 03:17 |
| craigbass1976 | AlexE, That would be still catering to the man, pirated or not | 03:17 |
| norv | AlexE: just use VirtualBox | 03:17 |
| AlexE | craigbass1976, But I am doing it with a grimace. | 03:17 |
| Jangari | catering to the man, nicely said | 03:17 |
| browniehead | pirate everything...arrrr | 03:17 |
| imc1 | bascule, whoops: Checking for Xgl: not present. No whitelisted driver found aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity | 03:17 |
| AlexE | Jangari, What if I burn money next to mr. gates. | 03:17 |
| Laney_Family | lol, this is my first time having issues with buntu so i thought i would try and get help on here, first time using irc | 03:17 |
| bazhang | AlexE: best way is to just linux software; this is offtopic here though | 03:17 |
| tarelerulz | with Ekiga I see alsa and that is all it says not much more about the sound . It says I should hear a play back ,but I don't . | 03:17 |
| craigbass1976 | AlexE, If I eat crow with a smile, I'm still eating crow | 03:17 |
| icesword | AlexE, what u mean cracked windows | 03:17 |
| AlexE | is there a way I can find a windows person's house in order to defecate inside the domicile? | 03:17 |
| craigbass1976 | Dude, stop | 03:17 |
| Jangari | he might just say something really generous, like "for every dollar you burn i'll give ten thousand to kids with no limbs" | 03:17 |
| bascule | imc1: well ask the #compiz people, I kind of know, but they *will* know :) | 03:18 |
| bazhang | !ot | AlexE | 03:18 |
| ubotu | AlexE: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:18 |

| Schmao-Fmao | Hi there .. I have a command line version of Ubuntu running, and I want to install the minimum number of packages to enable Xwindows. What packages do I need? | 03:19 |
| Laney_Family | hmm. | 03:19 |
| Laney_Family | um | 03:19 |
| Jangari | browniehead: can you pastebin your fstab? | 03:19 |
| browniehead | im gonna try booting up windows and shuting down the right way | 03:19 |
| bascule | Schmao-Fmao: I would go for xubuntu-dektop | 03:19 |
| Laney_Family | so i have a dumb Q if any one feels upto it? | 03:19 |
| browniehead | maybe thats it | 03:19 |
| AlexE | YES LANEY_FAMILY? | 03:19 |
| Jangari | yeah, try that first, browniehead | 03:19 |
| bazhang | ask away Laney_Family | 03:19 |
| browniehead | ill be back either way :) | 03:19 |
| Jangari | is it vista, browniehead? | 03:19 |
| browniehead | yep | 03:20 |
| potato | how can i install windows xp after i install ubuntu? | 03:20 |
| Jangari | oh, well, there's ya problem | 03:20 |
| AlexE | potato, PM me | 03:20 |
| browniehead | yeah i know | 03:20 |
| browniehead | it came with the comp | 03:20 |
| AlexE | potato, actually hold on | 03:20 |
| bascule | Schmao-Fmao: try sudo tasksel and go from there , move around using tab and arrows, space selcts return executes | 03:20 |
| Schmao-Fmao | bascule: I don't want a display manager, actually .. I just want ssh to have X forwarding, and for emacs to open up in a separate window when I log in .. that sorta thing :) | 03:20 |
| browniehead | hence me getting ubuntu :) | 03:20 |
| Schmao-Fmao | bascule: Okay, thanks :) I'll look into that | 03:20 |
| potato | ok | 03:20 |
| browniehead | ok well here goes | 03:20 |
| Jangari | it has a hard time actually shutting down sometimes, apparently, so when you boot ubuntu, it can't mount the windows partition because 'some other device (the machine itself) is using it' | 03:20 |
| Jangari | meh | 03:21 |
| natlinuxnewb | Why can I not see into the "lost + found" folder in my Home? | 03:21 |
| AlexE | You have to search "lost + found" | 03:21 |
| AlexE | that should do it | 03:21 |
| icesword | natlinuxnewb, coz u are not root | 03:21 |
| craigbass1976 | Laney_Family, What's the quesiton | 03:21 |
| craigbass1976 | Laney_Family, lets see how dumb it is | 03:21 |
| Jangari | how much extra data is used in creating a new user account? | 03:21 |
| potato | alex im using ksirc how can i pm? | 03:21 |
| Laney_Family | ok, i have an older pc i plan to setup with multiple versions of linux on, ubuntu flavors spec., i plan to do this with hd that will stay in the sys as a "media" drive, and one removable bay for the os, i have about 6 40-80 gig hds i was gonna do this on, so i installed the edubuntu for my son on one, it works with no issues, better than i hade hoped | 03:21 |
| Schmao-Fmao | bascule: I'm not quite sure if that's what I'm looking for. Basically, when I ssh into my computer the way it is with X forwarding on, I can't get emacs to open in a separate window. I think I'm missing Xorg or something along those lines... | 03:22 |
| AlexE | potato, I just sent you a PM | 03:22 |
| potato | how do i see in kirc | 03:22 |
| jacob | i guess i will have to do a clean install | 03:22 |
| bascule | Schmao-Fmao: try installing xserver-xorg | 03:22 |
| AlexE | do you have MSN or AIM | 03:22 |
| jacob | after i save every thing | 03:22 |
| Laney_Family | however, when i try and install ubuntu or kubuntu, they goto the prompt to install, with other options, and goto loading, then i get a prompt (initramfs) | 03:22 |
| Schmao-Fmao | bascule: That might be what I need. Thanks :0 | 03:22 |
| AlexE | turtlewaxfoodofthegods@hotmail.com -or- Crouching Lotus0 | 03:22 |

| Jangari | ps -aux, can-o-worms | 03:23 |
| Laney_Family | no i have done installs of ubuntu before, norm i get the gui after selecting install, | 03:23 |
| Flannel | Jangari: no - | 03:23 |
| bascule | :) | 03:23 |
| Jangari | oh? | 03:23 |
| AlexE | can-o-worms, system>administration>system monitor>processes | 03:23 |
| Laney_Family | so um, my dumb Q is what am i doing wrong, why is it deaming me unworthy | 03:23 |
| can-o-worms | Jangari: bascule no, the other one | 03:23 |
| craigbass1976 | Laney_Family, You can't boot to anything? | 03:24 |
| bazhang | top can-o-worms? | 03:24 |
| bascule | can-o-worms: top ? | 03:24 |
| AlexE | potato, just send me a message > Crouching Lotus0 | 03:24 |
| Jangari | ps aux and ps -aux return the same | 03:24 |
| Falican | \join | 03:24 |
| can-o-worms | bascule: yeah, that's it... thanks | 03:24 |
| bascule | hey bazhang :) | 03:24 |
| bazhang | hey bascule ;] | 03:24 |
| bascule | lol | 03:24 |
| bascule | dunno why I'm laughing ... | 03:24 |
| Laney_Family | its a clean install, so no, after selecting install i get the loading screen then the prompt | 03:25 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: this is using the alternate cds or the live cds? | 03:25 |
| Laney_Family | oddly enough, i remove the hd, and it does the EXACT same thing | 03:25 |
| cicero_b | ahh -- this is killin me -- how do i pull out a command from the recent commands. for example, say 10 minutes ago i typed: find / -name "happy" and i want to start typing "fin", i used to know a key to pull up the last command that started with this same sequence | 03:25 |
| cicero_b | any ideas? | 03:25 |
| bascule | cicero_b: !comm | 03:26 |
| Laney_Family | these are the dl's, i have dl twice and burned the second one twice, its not a bad burn or bad dl, atleast i wouldnt think | 03:26 |
| bascule | like !menc for a big mencoder string of options | 03:26 |
| browniehead | that was it | 03:26 |
| usr13 | cicero_b: history |grep whatever | 03:26 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: right, but would that be the livecd or the alternate cd? | 03:26 |
| browniehead | im all good now | 03:26 |
| craigbass1976 | cicero_b, cat ~/.bash_history | grep fin | 03:26 |
| usr13 | cicero_b: history |grep find | 03:26 |
| Laney_Family | o sory, im assuming the live cd | 03:26 |
| can-o-worms | does anyone know what trackerd is? | 03:27 |
| Laney_Family | its the main download of the 7.10 | 03:27 |
| brian_ | how do I open .exe files on my new os? | 03:27 |
| AlexE | is your new OS ubuntu | 03:27 |
| brian_ | yup | 03:27 |
| cicero_b | bascule -- that seemed closest to what i remember but that doesn't seem to work in bash (!fin then up-arrow, right) | 03:27 |
| usr13 | brian_: unzip file.exe | 03:27 |
| edju | does the order in which devices are listed in fstab make any difference? | 03:27 |
| AlexE | download wine | 03:27 |
| bascule | cicero_b: no just !fin | 03:27 |
| jacob | bascule, i just loged into anther user and it works for that one so i have isolated it to my user does that help you any in determining the problem | 03:27 |
| brian_ | i can't find a download for it | 03:27 |
| AlexE | go to terminal | 03:28 |
| AlexE | and just type | 03:28 |
| brian_ | where should i go | 03:28 |
| bascule | jacob: well a little, must be some .compiz config setting | 03:28 |
| AlexE | sudo apt-get install wine | 03:28 |
| Laney_Family | the file is labled : ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso | 03:28 |
| natlinuxnewb | ty everyone. bbl | 03:29 |
| jacob | bascule, is there somthing i can try?? | 03:29 |
| cicero_b | huh -- just !fin ?? then enter, tab, what? | 03:29 |
| Laney_Family | i have the command prompts header if it would help: its BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built-in shell (ash) | 03:29 |
| bascule | jacob: I am no compiz expert, if compiz don't know ... well | 03:29 |
| bascule | but try googling for "compiz whitelist" | 03:30 |
| jacob | im not even using compiz i dissabled it could it have messed up a config file or somthing | 03:30 |
| brian_ | thanks alexE | 03:30 |
| bascule | jacob: I thought compiz was the issue .. | 03:30 |
| AlexE | sure brian_ | 03:30 |
| bascule | no X at all, well that is different | 03:31 |
| jacob | well i enabled it one day | 03:31 |
| jacob | but | 03:31 |
| Laney_Family | any ideas? | 03:31 |
| jacob | bascule, i enabled it and installed a missing package but i have used it before and no problems | 03:31 |
| bascule | does it work as the new user? | 03:32 |
| barrypaxton | my logitech usb headset has no sound can anyone help me | 03:32 |
| jacob | bascule, but another thing that bothers me is i cant get to the command prompt by using ctrl alt f2 or f1 | 03:32 |
| cicero_b | time for a stupid on. i want to copy all files from directory foo to directory bar. say i am in bar, why can't i "cp ~/foo ."? | 03:33 |
| ^CatMan^ | jacob: that is just a matter of setting ur shortcut keys | 03:33 |
| bascule | jacob: it's an intel isn't it(?) | 03:33 |
| jacob | yes | 03:33 |
| barrypaxton | my logitech usb headset has no sound can anyone help me | 03:33 |
| credible | cicero_b: cp ~/foo/* . | 03:33 |
| jacob | intel cpu and igp | 03:33 |
| bascule | :-{ | 03:33 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: how many different distros are you planning on loading into these various removable hdd's? and you plan on hot swapping or switching out the drives for whoever is going to use the computer--i.e. edubuntu for junior, ubuntu for grandma and so on? and have the internal to be the media storage device? is that about right? | 03:33 |
| cicero_b | cool, i'll try | 03:33 |
| pizza | when booting from the livecd, what's the passwd for root, i'm currently as ubuntu | 03:33 |
| Jared | guys.... my "network manager" icon top right on sys tray has somehow gotten "squashed"! Now just a thin line can see any signal bars now! (wifi).. squashed between bluetooth and the seach icon, anyone know how to restore that??? | 03:33 |
| Laney_Family | mmm, yes bazhang | 03:34 |
| bascule | cicero_b: cp -a is more likely to work | 03:34 |
| Jared | "can see" = cant see, sorry | 03:34 |
| Laney_Family | and no | 03:34 |
| jacob | bascule, yes im using an intel core 2 duo and an intel chipset with the x3000 | 03:34 |
| Laney_Family | not for diff ppl, more for diff purposes but yea, accurate assumption | 03:34 |
| fdsajfdjk | where is the trash bin? | 03:34 |
| cicero_b | got it -- thanks | 03:35 |
| barrypaxton | my logitech usb headset has no sound can anyone help me | 03:35 |
| bascule | jacob: well It may not work as yet, just need to wait it out | 03:35 |
| jacob | ok | 03:35 |
| Laney_Family | but i have not installed the internal yet to avoid any hd confusion | 03:35 |
| usr13 | fdsajfdjk: It's on the floor, over there in the corner. | 03:35 |
| bascule | 945GM works for me | 03:35 |
| ^CatMan^ | fdsajfdjk: i think it's in the /temp dir, but i'm not sure myself :) | 03:35 |
| fdsajfdjk | k, thanks ill check that out | 03:35 |
| jacob | bascule, i think im going to do a clean install so i hope that fixes it | 03:35 |
| bascule | fdsajfdjk: ~/.Trash/ | 03:35 |
| bascule | jacob: well It might well do | 03:35 |
| pizza | anyone know the root passwd from the livecd? | 03:36 |
| fdsajfdjk | thanks bascule | 03:36 |
| usr13 | pizza: none | 03:36 |
| bascule | !root | 03:36 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:36 |
| jacob | thanks any wa bascule | 03:36 |
| barrypaxton | my logitech usb headset has no sound can anyone help me | 03:36 |
| usr13 | pizza: sudo | 03:36 |
| alexwien | pozzzzzzzzzzz | 03:36 |
| Scunizi | pizza, just hit enter | 03:36 |
| bascule | jacob: welcome, I tried but hardware is insurmountable | 03:36 |
| Laney_Family | ubotu: LOL nice | 03:36 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lol nice - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:36 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: why do it that way? kubuntu and ubuntu differ only in the DE's, not sure about edubuntu, so it would be redundant to install to all those hdd's--best to use those as media storage devices/backup and have the main internal one as your booting os, with a seperate home partition--you can choose the session at startup (kde gnome etc) and eliminate alot of extra work | 03:36 |

| barrypaxton | my logitech usb headset has no sound can anyone help me | 03:37 |
| epssy | edubuntu is basically normal ubuntu but with educational software instead | 03:37 |
| ^CatMan^ | Laney_Family: i run kubuntu and it's got a few issues, but overall, i'm happy with it :) | 03:37 |
| barrypaxton | !sound | 03:37 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

| Scunizi | Laney_Family, I second what bazhang said.. it's much easier.. unless you're doing development tweeking and need to distroy one of the systems just for experimentation | 03:38 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: and if / when you want to install a completely different distro (unlikely but might happen) then you can isntall over the / partition and /home will be left untouched | 03:38 |
| Jared | guys.... my "network manager" icon top right on sys tray has somehow gotten "squashed"! Now just a thin line can't see any signal bars now! (wifi).. squashed between bluetooth and the seach icon, anyone know how to restore that??? | 03:38 |
| Laney_Family | Bazhang: why?, because I didnt know that, lol, im rather new, i tried ubuntu when it was a mere early stages and have not been back since, so i was wanting to know the diff, learn by exp. | 03:38 |
| ^CatMan^ | bazhang: really? now's a great time to tell me that! lol | 03:39 |
| steven__ | i have been trying for two days to get my cam working and my printer, i think im going to have to give up | 03:39 |
| Laney_Family | also the idea is to setup another sys just for my son (5 years old and can build a dead rig almost on his own!!!) and at that time just move the removeable drive over | 03:39 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, are you using ubuntu now.. how about trying "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" from the terminal then log out click the sessions button and change to kde.. lots of fun :) | 03:39 |
| usr13 | steven__: What printer do you have? | 03:39 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: so in the extreme unlikely situation that you want to change to #fedora, then your home partition would still be there and you could go on as usual without all the backups/headaches etc | 03:39 |
| kostkon | steven__, and which webcam | 03:39 |
| * ^CatMan^ agrees with Scunizi :) | 03:39 | |
| steven__ | lexmark x1290 usb all in one | 03:39 |
| hw00djohn | where can i find a package to support my webcam? | 03:40 |
| ^CatMan^ | tho i admit i have at leaste attempted gnome :D | 03:40 |
| steven__ | logitech quickcam 9.5 usb | 03:40 |
| kostkon | hw00djohn, what do you mean by that? please be more clear | 03:40 |
| Scunizi | hw00djohn, what kind of webcam? | 03:40 |
| usr13 | steven__: Look it up: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting | 03:40 |
| hw00djohn | steven_ how did you know? | 03:40 |
| Laney_Family | well, that is realy the reason for the other drives in the rig, for data, so backup would not be an issue, and hdds are not an issue for me, i have more than enough of those... | 03:40 |
| usr13 | !printers | 03:40 |
| ubotu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 03:40 |
| hw00djohn | scunizi i know its a logitech..but im not sure which | 03:40 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: when that time comes for your son to have his own it is not a big deal to clone the system to another drive and then get it going on another computer--just food for thought and a perhaps more efficient way of doing what you are proposing | 03:41 |
| Laney_Family | scunizi: it wont use sudo, says not found... nomater what command i enter | 03:41 |
| kostkon | hw00djohn, it does not work at all? | 03:41 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, you might also look at installing with the alternate cd since it gives you lvm (logical volume management) an easy way to use several drives as one when the need arrises. | 03:41 |
| hw00djohn | kostkon i plug it in adn nothing happens | 03:41 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: I have to step away for a bit now, it seems that Scunizi has this in hand so if you need help he may be the go-to guy ;] | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | hw00djohn, check out http://www.ubuntuswitch.com/2006/07/31/logitech-webcam-and-ubuntu-the-nightmare-that-wasnt/ it might help | 03:42 |
| kostkon | hw00djohn, of course nothing happens. did you test your cam with e.g. ekiga, camorama or cheese to see if it works? | 03:42 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, caps make a difference.. all lower case | 03:43 |
| hw00djohn | kostkon lol no...didnt know about those. heh | 03:43 |
| Laney_Family | ALL: ok, going of the assumption i only have one drive in (the curent case) any ideas on why it loads the spalsh image with the loading bar and then this initramfs prompt???, I never actualy hit the gui, and the drive is clean, ive checked. | 03:43 |
| bazhang | http://www.linuxlove.org/2007/11/12/linux-webcam-microsoft-lifecam-nx-6000-on-ubuntu-and-fedora/ hw00djohn check if your cam is in this list--this may help | 03:43 |
| Laney_Family | Scunizi: i verified my caps were all lowercase | 03:43 |
| usr13 | steven__: It appears that the Lexmark 1290 is not supported | 03:43 |
| Laney_Family | i have it up on another monitor now, still did not work... | 03:43 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, are you on the live cd? | 03:43 |
| Laney_Family | I think so... | 03:44 |
| Laney_Family | would the file name help any? | 03:44 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, or is it installed.. (I didn't catch the beginning of your conversation with bazhang ) | 03:44 |
| pocketdrummer | Does anyone know how to get DVDs to work? | 03:44 |

| * ^CatMan^ perks up at a BigCanOfTuna :) | 03:44 | |
| pocketdrummer | I have all the gstreamer plugins, xine, totem, everything. Nothing works. | 03:45 |
| BigCanOfTuna | Redhat has an app (I believe it's called chkconfig) that sets the start/stop levels for init.d scripts....is there an equivalent in Ubuntu? | 03:45 |
| ^CatMan^ | sry, couldn't help it :D | 03:45 |
| Laney_Family | Scunizi, no its not installed, never get that far | 03:45 |
| usr13 | pocketdrummer: Scroll up. | 03:45 |
| Laney_Family | splash screen, straight to the (initramfs) prompt | 03:45 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, ah.. that's part of the problem.. you can't install kubuntu-desktop with the live cd.. it takes space that you probably don't have in ram. | 03:46 |
| kdc1956 | some dvd will work but not all on mine | 03:46 |
| Laney_Family | as far as the file i downloaded, i went here: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and chose the uper left file | 03:46 |
| ^CatMan^ | BigCanOfTuna: sorta, i think i saw one somewhere in kde, otherwise it should be in /etc/init.d/ | 03:46 |
| Laney_Family | the pc has 512 mg ram | 03:46 |
| pocketdrummer | usr13: Already did that. | 03:46 |

| Shuggle | Is there a applet similar to the system monitor applet for the gnome menu bar that will show me the waveform or some sort of graph for the audio coming out of my speaker? | 03:46 |
| steven__ | thanks usr, then ill buy a new one, any recomedations | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, that would be the standard live cd.. the alternate is not live but a "text" install.. just as easy to install .. just a couple of more options. | 03:47 |
| pocketdrummer | No demuxer found - stream format not recognised. | 03:47 |
| pocketdrummer | usr13: and totem butchers the image | 03:47 |
| Laney_Family | ok. i see the check box on bottom screen now | 03:47 |
| * bascule watches a ^CatMan^ talking to a BigCanOfTuna :) | 03:48 | |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, is Windows currently on the machine? If so you can dual boot if you want. | 03:48 |
| Laney_Family | so why will the live cd not boot? | 03:48 |
| Laney_Family | naa, tis a dead system | 03:48 |
| Laney_Family | no os | 03:48 |
| ^CatMan^ | cool, just in case i make a mistake, huh bascule? | 03:48 |

| ^CatMan^ | oh, :D | 03:48 |
| bascule | !msgthebot > barrypaxton | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, could be a problem with the cd.. you have to burn it at the slowest speed possible. Also there's a difference between burning an ISO vs. data.. | 03:49 |
| ^CatMan^ | ok BigCanOfTuna :D | 03:49 |
| Laney_Family | right, that i have | 03:49 |
| Laney_Family | its a mounted burn, so the data is there | 03:49 |
| bascule | ^CatMan^: yes :) | 03:49 |
| Laney_Family | ive burned it 3 times | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, did you burn from windows? | 03:49 |
| Laney_Family | one on first dl, 2 on second | 03:49 |
| Laney_Family | downoaded twice, burned via nero | 03:49 |

| confuse_david | hi | 03:50 |
| Laney_Family | So can i jsut install the server version and then setup a gui? | 03:50 |
| Laney_Family | that one will give me the intall gui... | 03:51 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| Scunizi | Laney_Family, ok.. if you have edubuntu you can install that then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to get the standard Ubuntu desktop.. then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" for the kde environment. | 03:51 |
| pocketdrummer | usr13: Xine engine fails to start, Totem, location not found | 03:51 |

| Scunizi | Laney_Family, drivers? most are included unless you have something out of the norm.. It's not like windows where you install the system then install a bunch of drivers then the programs. | 03:55 |
| confuse_david | bascule: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56688/ | 03:56 |

| joecurlee | the card is Pinnacle PCTV HD PCI... i've been spending pretty much the entire day on this and am about to lose my mind | 04:28 |

| zulerdongle | hello again. I just have one quick question. IS there any way to update ubuntu 6.10 to 7.10 by downloading and installing certain files (i mean like an update through the synaptic package manager for example)? Im asking this because I can run 7.10 fine on my desktop but for some reasons the install cd's crashed on my laptop which currently has 6.10 . Thanks. | 04:30 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : It depends on the driver. From my experiences in this, if its not one of the few currently under development.. your going to have alot of issues | 04:30 |
| EADG | Gr1: Where you want to have to iso located, for ex in media/fooiso/ | 04:30 |

| Gr1 | OK | 04:31 |
| Gr1 | THANKS | 04:31 |
| Gr1 | I'll try | 04:31 |
| jason | zulerdongle: if you open up synaptic it should just give you the option to do a distribution upgrade | 04:31 |
| joecurlee | that's what I'm leaning towards now | 04:31 |
| genii | zulerdongle: For dist upgrade you need to go 6.10 -> 7.04 -> 7.10 | 04:31 |
| AntiUSA | yeah I remember back in the day if you just had a sub for a month you could download it and keep it | 04:31 |
| Jared | <zulerdongle: Run the install in safe mode | 04:31 |
| adorablepuppy | hw00djohn: lemme see what I can dig up | 04:31 |
| AntiUSA | but now whenever I try to use the new Cedega 6 there is a login that pops up | 04:31 |

| bloodhacker | cool man | 04:37 |
| Pandemic187 | Ugh. | 04:38 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : the pinacle page, second line of the first paragraph | 04:38 |

| credible | confuse_david: pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:38 |
| Gr1 | be more specific | 04:38 |
| credible | !pastebin | 04:38 |
| zcat[1] | it's all we're allowed to talk about :) | 04:38 |
| Pandemic187 | Does anyone know how I can get the pidgin icon back on my panel? | 04:38 |
| bloodhacker | what | 04:38 |
| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| bloodhacker | is ther a rule about being off topic | 04:38 |
| jason | pandemic187: you can right click on the panel and select add, then select pidgin | 04:39 |
| hdevalence | doues (k)ubuntu have a thing like debian where you can download a million CDs and then install stuff without the network? | 04:39 |
| Pandemic187 | That's not in the list, jason. | 04:39 |
| zcat[1] | yeah, not rigidly enforced, but if you stray too far they'll tell you off | 04:39 |
| jason | pandemic187: if pidgin is on your normal menu you can also right click on the menu item and select add to panel | 04:39 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : did you install the firmware as well as the driver? | 04:39 |
| usr13 | Pandemic187: apt-get remove pidgen | 04:40 |
| usr13 | Pandemic187: apt-get install pidgen | 04:40 |
| bloodhacker | zcat are you tallking to me? | 04:40 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: yes, followed all instructions on that link | 04:40 |
| Pandemic187 | I actually just tried that usr13 | 04:40 |
| confuse_david | credible: hey here it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56691/ | 04:40 |
| Pandemic187 | Unless it would require a reboot or something | 04:40 |
| === faggot is now known as boston | ||
| jason | linux should never require a reboot outside of kernel updates | 04:41 |
| usr13 | Pandemic187: I dono :) | 04:41 |
| zcat[1] | bloodhacker: yes .. I don't always bother with the name first tho :) | 04:41 |
| Pandemic187 | lame. | 04:41 |
| credible | confuse_david: wow, try this: sudo apt-get --reinstall install xserver-xorg-core | 04:41 |
| zcat[1] | jason: hoe about updates to init ? | 04:41 |
| Pandemic187 | How can there be no way to get it back? | 04:41 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : can you confirm that your lspci -vvnn output matches the page's output? | 04:41 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: i'm more or less a newb with linux, how do i do so? | 04:41 |
| bloodhacker | zcat how do i tallk to just you? like you are doing to me.. | 04:41 |
| usr13 | Pandemic187: You prolly already got it back. Fire it up and see. | 04:41 |
| confuse_david | credible: what is so amazing? | 04:41 |
| wwalker | How do I play real Media files under ubuntu? | 04:41 |
| zcat[1] | bloodhacker: just type the name first. | 04:42 |
| Pandemic187 | I did. | 04:42 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : have you ever used a terminal/command line before? | 04:42 |
| usr13 | wwalker: Instal realplayer | 04:42 |
| bloodhacker | zcat like this | 04:42 |
| Pandemic187 | It didn't come back, usr13 | 04:42 |
| credible | confuse_david: that you're missing the actual libglx.so | 04:42 |
| zcat[1] | bloodhacker: yeah | 04:42 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: yes everyday :) but on os x | 04:42 |
| neolith2099 | where can I find a hardware compat list for ubuntu? | 04:42 |
| bloodhacker | zcat oo ok i see | 04:42 |
| confuse_david | credible: ok i just did. really. | 04:42 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: just need to know the command | 04:42 |
| confuse_david | credible: i just installed | 04:42 |
| bloodhacker | zcat man this is razzy cool | 04:42 |
| credible | confuse_david: now restart X | 04:42 |
| usr13 | Pandemic187: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace | 04:43 |
| bloodhacker | zcat i am new to xchat | 04:43 |
| confuse_david | credible: how do you restart x or do you mean restart computer? | 04:43 |
| Pandemic187 | Restart X? | 04:43 |
| nano__ | hey guys, i just connected my ipod to my ubuntu system (after i installed gtkpod) and somehow my ipod was automatically mounted to /media/xxxxxxx ...... but there is no corresponding entry in fstab , so how could this be? | 04:43 |
| Pandemic187 | Okay I'll try that. | 04:43 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : well don't sweat it.. os x and linux are relatives. Just open up a term.. if you don't know where look in applications accessories. Then type in lspci -vvnn | less | 04:43 |
| credible | confuse_david: log out and hit ctrl+alt+backspace | 04:43 |
| confuse_david | ok | 04:43 |
| confuse_david | thanks | 04:43 |
| zcat[1] | bloodhacker: this is not a great channel to start out on, lots of traffic so it's hard to follow, plus we're gonna get told off for beinf OT soon :) | 04:44 |
| akbrennan | hi all | 04:44 |
| genii | nano__: fstab does not usually hold transient or temporary media. | 04:45 |
| Pandemic187 | Yep, didn't work. | 04:45 |
| Pandemic187 | wow | 04:45 |
| neolith2099 | bloodhacker, join the party..in a channel of 1100+ people! | 04:45 |
| bloodhacker | zcat oooo i thot only me and yo could see this | 04:45 |
| bloodhacker | zcat ok | 04:45 |
| zcat[1] | bloodhacker: nope.. | 04:45 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : just so you know, ls is the list command, and lspci is a command that lists all known pci connections, | is pipe (you probably know that), and less is a term program that makes it easier to scroll through output | 04:45 |
| wwalker | usr13: got an apt source for that? | 04:45 |
| neolith2099 | bloodhacker: we all C U! | 04:45 |
| dygital | Hello. Is there an app that does similar functions like CCleaner does on windows? | 04:45 |
| usr13 | wwalker: For what? | 04:45 |
| bluefoxx | EADG, ok, seems to have saved, going to restart X now... | 04:45 |
| nano__ | genii: so fstab typically holds permanent (ie. always physcially connected) volumes | 04:45 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: cool... so there is a tone of output from that though | 04:45 |
| emmajane | genii: I thought it did for CDROM drives... or is that the old way of doing things? | 04:45 |
| wwalker | usr13: sorry, realplayer | 04:45 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: don't want to post it all here... anything to look for? | 04:46 |
| nano__ | emmajane: good point....cdroms are temporary? | 04:46 |
| nano__ | i would think | 04:46 |
| usr13 | wwalker: Oh, I dono, just go to http://www.real.com/linux | 04:46 |
| confuse_david | credible: THANK YOU | 04:46 |
| emmajane | nano__: Well you have to unmount a CD to pop it out of the player... | 04:46 |
| genii | nano__: The removable things can also have fstab entries like CD. But it does not always know aead of time what things you are plugging in for instance until you do it. | 04:46 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : try to compare it to the output on that page you sent me | 04:47 |
| dygital | Hello. Is there an app that does similar functions like CCleaner does on windows? | 04:47 |
| zcat[1] | what does ccleaner do? | 04:47 |
| dygital | (sent again, thought it got lost in the answers above...) | 04:47 |
| dygital | it cleans out all the caches and temp files | 04:48 |
| nano__ | genii: so wat ur trying to say is that although a cd can contain anything, fstab anticipates that a cd drive is physically connected, as opposed to an external usb stick for example | 04:48 |
| EADG | lol | 04:48 |
| usr13 | wwalker: sudo sh RealPlayer10GOLD.bin | 04:48 |
| mohadib_ | dygital rm -Rf /tmp/* | 04:48 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : if it makes you feel any better i'm having problems of my own with drivers... i'm trying to make one but i'm missing the most critical file on my system :( | 04:48 |
| emmajane | (back in teh day you could also put memory sticks into /etc/fstab) | 04:48 |
| dygital | moh: ok... | 04:48 |
| bluefoxx | EADG, ok, it worked but now i lost my compiz, which i need for certain things[gdesklets for example, are not working...] | 04:48 |
| genii | nano__: You can add removable media to fstab, is best to use options like sync for writeable media. Aslo the uuid and not /dev name since an usb drive can be sdb one day and sdc another day depending how many you have and what order you plug them in | 04:48 |
| dygital | but there's other caches too, right? like apt-get autoclean, etc | 04:48 |
| Onyx | nutsack | 04:49 |
| dygital | firefox's cache | 04:49 |
| zcat[1] | you can still put memory sticks in fstab ... jyou just gotta trust that they'll always get detected as the same device | 04:49 |
| nano__ | genii: what do entries such as UUID=506c9742-a80a-4971-99d4-ab610765335f in my fstab mean? I would think that these are volume labels. but what does the acronym UUID sand for? | 04:49 |
| mohadib_ | dygital no app like that that i am aware of | 04:49 |
| nano__ | *stand for | 04:49 |
| dygital | maybe if I learned a bit of bash scripting, I could have it do that. | 04:49 |
| genii | zcat[1]: Hence my recommend for uuid | 04:49 |
| * emmajane nods at genii about the sdb and sdc bit. | 04:49 | |
| EADG | bluefoxx: I don't really know anything about compiz, I spend most my time on the console. | 04:49 |
| confuse_david | credible: can you explain what I did | 04:49 |
| confuse_david | ? | 04:50 |
| mohadib_ | dygital make a file with #!/binbash at the top , then put one bash command per line | 04:50 |
| computer_ | what is a good gui program to make .iso files? | 04:50 |
| mohadib_ | should be pretty east | 04:50 |
| bluefoxx | EADG, ah, ok | 04:50 |
| mohadib_ | easy | 04:50 |
| zcat[1] | genii: D'Oh!! Than has been bothering me for ages.. I have a friend uses text only (he's blind) so I put his mp3 player in fstab.. I just figured out I should be using the UUID not /dev/sda :) | 04:50 |
| emmajane | nano__ http://www.google.ca/search?q=define%3Auuid | 04:50 |
| genii | nano__: uuid= universally unique identifier ...like a MAC for network | 04:50 |
| dygital | computer: i found a good one earlier tonight... "AcetoneISO" | 04:50 |
| EADG | bluefoxx: Ask away though, I'm sure somebody in here knows something, might try #compiz also. | 04:50 |
| nano__ | thanks guys | 04:50 |
| dygital | also K3B | 04:50 |
| bluefoxx | so anyone else know how i can keep seperate Xscreens[moniter and TV] and still have all my compiz? i have my window bar plauged by all my desklets | 04:51 |
| genii | zcat[1]: Heh :) Hopefully you know about blkid then | 04:51 |
| Marupa | Is there a way to copy an entire file system over to another drive but /keep/ all the permissions? I need to transport an entire installation from one drive to another over SSH. Is it possible? | 04:51 |
| dygital | mohadib: i'll try that. thanks | 04:51 |
| computer_ | thnx | 04:51 |
| credible | confuse_david: somehow you deleted /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so | 04:51 |
| mohadib_ | Marupa yes | 04:51 |
| emmajane | Marupa: using the -p parameter will "keep permissions" assuming the user exists on both systems (if across a network) | 04:51 |
| zcat[1] | genii: cos sometimes it comes up as /dev/sdb and he can't mount it (gets a bit confused about how to find it and mount it with teh full mount options) | 04:51 |
| mohadib_ | tar up all the partions | 04:51 |
| Marupa | emma, scp? or what? | 04:52 |
| mohadib_ | and trasnfer with ssh | 04:52 |
| mohadib_ | and untar | 04:52 |
| emmajane | Marupa: scp -pr localfilestomove login@remotesite | 04:52 |
| mohadib_ | (After you partion) | 04:52 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: thanks for the help thus far, checking the output now... i've had nothing but frustrations since day one with this system, but i've made some real progress with it... the capture card is the last step | 04:52 |
| emmajane | Marupa: that's what I use (secure copy) | 04:52 |
| Marupa | emma, THANK you :D My drive crashed. | 04:52 |
| hw00djohn | anyone care to help me wiht my webcam? | 04:52 |
| genii | zcat[1]: When you have a drive plugged in, the command blkid should tell the UUID when it exists (some removable media do not have them, oddly) | 04:52 |
| Marupa | emma, have to do it as root, most likely then, right/ | 04:52 |
| emmajane | Marupa: ruhoh! because you tried to do secure copy onto it?! | 04:52 |
| zcat[1] | genii: yeah, I've used that when I clone an install from one disk to another, have to rewrite the id's in fstab and grub | 04:52 |
| Marupa | emma, No, drive failure. Trying to salvage it. | 04:52 |
| emmajane | Marupa: AHH! I thought you meant I caused it to crash. ;) | 04:53 |
| emmajane | (check the nick... you'll get emma all excited. I'm emmajane) | 04:53 |
| dygital | mohadib, should I use "#!/binbash" or "#!/bin/bash" ? | 04:53 |
| Odd-rationale | What was the "Print Current Directory" command again? | 04:53 |
| mohadib_ | #!/bin/bash | 04:53 |
| dygital | cool. thx | 04:53 |
| mohadib_ | np | 04:53 |
| EADG | Odd-rationale: pwd | 04:53 |
| dygital | pwd | 04:53 |
| Odd-rationale | ok Thanks! | 04:53 |
| emmajane | Marupa: You need to have permission on the remote drive to put the files there and read permission on the local drive. Otherwise, you're right... use root. | 04:54 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : believe me, I started two years ago and I had to endure crashes every other minute for 30 restarts in a day. all random. In two years, linux has jumped from ok to great.. at this rate, hardy will solve half our problems. Hang on for a few more kernel releases and you'll be amazed. | 04:54 |
| Marupa | emmajane, any pitfalls you know about, or should I be able to sudo scp -pr / somedest@somedest? | 04:54 |
| confuse_david | credible: so you had me do "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and that resinstalled libglx? | 04:54 |
| killown | ow do i convert a tar.bz2 to a tar.gz? | 04:54 |
| credible | confuse_david: nope | 04:54 |
| emmajane | Marupa: hrm. It won't warn you if you're about to overwrite something. That's the only one I can think of. | 04:54 |
| mohadib_ | Marupa i would not do that | 04:54 |
| credible | confuse_david: you don't need fglrx, I had you reinstall the xserver-xorg-core package | 04:54 |
| mohadib_ | Marupa at least tar up / | 04:54 |
| fuffalo | How do I mount a folder on another ubuntu box on my machine (if i have ssh access) | 04:54 |
| Marupa | emma, the destination drive is blank. | 04:54 |
| mohadib_ | movine files with scp has a lot of overhead | 04:54 |
| Marupa | mohadib_, Not enough room. | 04:54 |
| mohadib_ | so complress them | 04:55 |
| mohadib_ | ah | 04:55 |
| emmajane | mohadib_: can't you copy the whole drive image and mount it elsewhere? | 04:55 |
| mohadib_ | it will takr forrever to move all those small files | 04:55 |
| Marupa | I've only got 2GB free, and it's taking up 4. | 04:55 |
| mohadib_ | emmajane sure can | 04:55 |
| EADG | fuffalo: sshfs remoteip:/dir /local/mount/piont | 04:55 |
| confuse_david | credible: oh ok | 04:55 |
| Marupa | mohadib_, gigabit ethernet :3 | 04:55 |
| switch__ | killown: unzip with bzip and then compress it with gzip | 04:55 |
| Jangari | Marupa: what about sshfs'ing to the server? takes the annoying bits out ofscp'ing | 04:55 |
| mohadib_ | Marupa your connection will not be the bottle neck i would guess | 04:56 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: yea i'm pretty much in for the long haul now... i've spent too many nights on this to quit :) | 04:56 |
| mohadib_ | Marupa encryption is not cheap | 04:56 |
| emmajane | mohadib_: what's the syntax for it? I always forget... maybe Marupa should use that instead? | 04:56 |
| dygital | mohadib, should I save the bash script with a .sh or something? | 04:56 |
| Marupa | let me finish partitioning my destination drive... | 04:56 |
| bluefoxx | ok, so i have a second moniter going in the form of an CRT telivisionthat i want to use as a dedicated moniter for movies, but after getting it going seperately[it only worked as twinview cloned] i have lost my compiz effects, including a important one like widget layer and annotations. how can i get these back. oh and the computer that has the problem is the one im typing this from, only one that will connect to the internet and t | 04:56 |
| bluefoxx | hus is my main | 04:56 |
| mohadib_ | emmajane for making an image or taring up something? | 04:56 |
| emmajane | mohadib_: for making an image. I used to do that for backups... | 04:57 |
| mohadib_ | emmajane you can use dd easily enogh dd if=/ of=dirve.iso | 04:57 |
| emmajane | mohadib_: and then mount the partition on the other machine... | 04:57 |
| mohadib_ | iirc | 04:57 |
| switch__ | My operating system is requiring me to have superuser privilege to listen on port 80 but not on some other ports. What's the deal with this? | 04:57 |
| mohadib_ | then you mount as a loopback device iirc | 04:57 |
| * emmajane nods that looks familiar. | 04:57 | |
| confuse_david | credible: ok I have only one more question. what is the purpose that log file you had me paste? | 04:57 |
| mohadib_ | been a while | 04:57 |
| dygital | mohadib_, how do I run the script I made | 04:58 |
| * emmajane nods to mohadib_ the mount as loopback device is definitely right. | 04:58 | |
| mohadib_ | chmod +x script ./script | 04:58 |
| * emmajane nods and checks to see if she's got it written down. | 04:58 | |
| Marupa | So, can someone PM me the fastest method to grab all the files, keeping permissions, users, and grab every file? | 04:58 |
| mohadib_ | mount -o loop lol | 04:58 |
| emmajane | Marupa: is it a linux machine you're trying to restore/save/etc? | 04:58 |
| mohadib_ | i forget | 04:58 |
| sluggo | switch__: all ports 1024 and below require root privileges | 04:58 |
| mohadib_ | its right in the man | 04:58 |
| switch__ | thanks sluggo. | 04:59 |
| Marupa | emmajane. dying machine is debian, my comp is ubuntu. | 04:59 |
| emmajane | k | 04:59 |
| dygital | Marupa, netcat if over the network, I think. Locally, the DD command works well. | 04:59 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: the first difference is the latency... on the website it's 32, mine is 64 not sure what that means though | 04:59 |
| emmajane | Marupa: go with the solution that we're trying to work out for the full disk image. | 05:00 |
| mohadib_ | emmajane yes , its mount -o loop | 05:00 |
| joecurlee | also, th capabilities for me say "access denied" not sure if that's because i ran your command without sudo or because there's a problem | 05:00 |
| emmajane | Marupa: then it'll be like mounting your old hardrive as a perfectly intact unit on your new system. | 05:00 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : latency is an issue on the scheduling for the interupts, I believe. had a little experience with a low latency kernel in ubuntu-studio... Assuming everything is correct.. I will try and find an error guide. Tell me, did you get any errors at all during/after the install? | 05:00 |
| Some_Person | How do I make this thing collate? | 05:01 |
| Marupa | emmajane, as long as all the users/permissions are intact, awesome. | 05:01 |
| emmajane | Marupa: I don't see why they wouldn't be. | 05:01 |
| Marupa | emmajane, even if they don't exist on the destination drive? | 05:02 |
| emmajane | Marupa: you're copying a snapshot of the system, not the files themselves (it'll only be one huge file) | 05:02 |
| Some_Person | How do I print with collate? | 05:02 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: no errors at all... also i ran command again with sudo and this time i see the capabilities info | 05:02 |
| Marupa | well...Hold on. | 05:02 |
| Marupa | What I want to do is this: | 05:02 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : Oh, and maybe the module isn't loading at all. | 05:02 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: how do i check on that? | 05:02 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : that's interesting. I gotta find the name of the driver.. what is it? | 05:02 |
| emmajane | Marupa: you'll get random numbers instead of legit users/groups if they don't exist, but you'd have that anyway and they'll fix themselves if you remount after creating the appropriate users. | 05:02 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: the name of the driver? | 05:03 |
| tyrone | joecurlee :yes | 05:03 |
| Marupa | I have a failing drive in a linux box. I have a destination drive in my current box that, after copying the files to it, will go BACK into the server as a replacement drive. | 05:03 |
| Some_Person | How do I get this darn thing to collate? | 05:03 |
| dygital | Marupa, I tried the command like you mentioned, and it didn't work. When I try to execute the script, it says its not found. I'm running it from the same folder. In the terminal, it gives me "bash: wipetemp: command not found" (I've named it wipetemp) | 05:03 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: i honestly have no idea... it's provided by video 4 linux... you have to download the "v4l-dvb tree" | 05:03 |
| Plight | hey, are there any open source webcam drivers? | 05:04 |
| norml_advocate | can I talk about audacity on this channel? or is there a better one? | 05:04 |
| emmajane | Marupa: if you have a disk image you can move that .img file anywhere and mount it. MUCH cleaner than copying. | 05:04 |
| dygital | err, for mohadib_ ** | 05:04 |
| mohadib_ | yep | 05:04 |
| mohadib_ | copying / over ssh seems tiresome | 05:04 |
| norml_advocate | can I talk about audacity on this channel? or is there a better one? | 05:04 |
| * emmajane nods to mohadib_. Agreed now that I understand... | 05:04 | |
| Marupa | emmajane, But it wouldn't work, I dont think. Technically I'm wanting to mirror from one drive to another manually, to replace the drive physically. | 05:05 |
| Some_Person | Where is the option to make this damn thing collate? | 05:05 |
| norml_advocate | how do I make audacity work? | 05:05 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : alright then... try lsmod | grep v | less The v is since no matter what it should start with that.. | 05:05 |
| norml_advocate | i do not have any editing options | 05:05 |
| vbabiy-laptop | hey guys what packages would i have to install to do development with gtk2.0 | 05:05 |
| Marupa | I can't have an image file only. That's pretty worthless in a headless server. | 05:05 |
| * dygital waits patiently for mohadib_ to school me. | 05:05 | |
| cag | hey I know I should ask this in #xubuntu but no one is responding... | 05:05 |
| mohadib_ | dygital you had another question? | 05:05 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : if that doesn't turn up.. try lsmod | less and browse to see if you can find something like that | 05:05 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: ok what am i looking for with this output? | 05:06 |
| dygital | mohadib_, I tried the command like you mentioned, and it didn't work. When I try to execute the script, it says its not found. I'm running it from the same folder. In the terminal, it gives me "bash: wipetemp: command not found" (I've named it wipetemp) | 05:06 |
| mohadib_ | my irc client does not highlight my nick , so kind of hard to keepup :p | 05:06 |
| pmratpoison | hello! I want to autostart thunderbird with my sessions, but I want it to start minimised. What options should I use? | 05:06 |
| emmajane | Marupa: Right now you're just trying to get teh files out cleanly. | 05:06 |
| Some_Person | Where is the option to make this damn thing collate? | 05:06 |
| Plight | Are there any open source webcam drivers for 'creative? | 05:06 |
| Marupa | emma, Ahh. | 05:06 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : anything that looks like v4l.. video 4 linux.. dvb.. something | 05:06 |
| mohadib_ | dygital did you use ./scriptname ? | 05:06 |
| Marupa | so, what was the command again? | 05:06 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: well here's something.. v4l1_compat and v4l2_common | 05:06 |
| emmajane | Marupa: we need to figure out which file the image is in. | 05:07 |
| tyrone | joecurlee ; aha.. but now I gotta find out if that's the right one. | 05:07 |
| emmajane | Marupa: it'll be in one of the /dev files | 05:07 |
| dygital | mohadib_, I've named it "wipetemp" and used your command but changed it chmod +x wipetemp ./wipetemp ... ? | 05:07 |
| AnonCon | hello | 05:07 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: cool | 05:07 |
| Plight | I'm trying to install a webcam, what packages do i need? | 05:07 |
| Marupa | emmajane, What? I haven't made any images yet. | 05:07 |
| mohadib_ | dygital you ran that as two differient commands? | 05:07 |
| AnonCon | I just installed Ubuntu for the first time, what now? | 05:08 |
| emmajane | Marupa: Just a sec, I'm trying to figure it on my own machine. | 05:08 |
| dygital | i think so | 05:08 |
| cag | how do I reset my xfce settings to show my damn taskbars? | 05:08 |
| norml_advocate | HOW DO I MAKE AUDACITY WORK? | 05:08 |
| norml_advocate | HOW DO I MAKE AUDACITY WORK? | 05:08 |
| s0ulstice_ | hello | 05:08 |
| norml_advocate | HI | 05:08 |
| pmratpoison | !patience > norml_advocate | 05:08 |
| dygital | Plight, what happens when you unplug and plug in your webcam? I have one too and thats what I did. | 05:09 |
| Some_Person | Where is the option to make this damn thing collate? | 05:09 |
| emmajane | Marupa: take a look in /dev/ ... have you got sda, sda1, sda2, sda etc? | 05:09 |
| s0ulstice_ | pmratpoison, any difference in using | compared to > ?? | 05:09 |
| norml_advocate | !patience | 05:09 |
| ubotu | The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 05:09 |
| emmajane | Some_Person: easy there. :) | 05:09 |
| bipoi | norml_advocate, sarap | 05:09 |
| fuffalo | can i use gedit on my local machine to edit files on a remote machine (connected via ssh) | 05:09 |
| pmratpoison | in irc, or in general? | 05:09 |
| norml_advocate | bipoi im sorry | 05:09 |
| emmajane | Some_Person: first we have to save a dying disk, then we'll get to your collating. :) | 05:09 |
| AnonCon | anyone have any advice on where to start? I hope to eventually develop | 05:09 |
| norml_advocate | sarap? | 05:09 |
| s0ulstice_ | pmratpoison, well both since were here | 05:09 |
| AnonCon | in general | 05:09 |
| chronos | I'm having a major issue with one of my ubuntu computers. I turn it on, sometimes it goes past the bios screen, and turns off instantly, other times, it'll get as far as my desktop and physically power itself down. What's up with this? | 05:10 |
| Some_Person | ok | 05:10 |
| dygital | norml_advocate, have you checked google? I suggest searching for "audacity ubuntu" and see what ya get... | 05:10 |
| mohadib_ | fuffalo gedit used to only support read only VFS , not sure if thats still the case | 05:10 |
| Marupa | emmajane, hda1/2/4, being /, /home and a 'large files' partition. | 05:10 |
| AnonCon | chronos, is it overheating? | 05:10 |
| Some_Person | i just dont want to manually re-sort the 200 pages i'm about to print | 05:10 |
| norml_advocate | what does sarap mean? | 05:10 |
| Madpilot | chronos, sounds like serious hardware issues - bad motherboard, probably | 05:10 |
| mohadib_ | try using fuse and sshfs | 05:10 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : can you find any sort module with videodev in it? | 05:10 |
| pmratpoison | well, on irc, I think > sends a private msg, whereas | makes it public. lemme check | 05:10 |
| === catmistakes is now known as catmistake | ||
| chronos | How could I tell AnonCon | 05:10 |
| pmratpoison | !patience > pmratpoison | 05:10 |
| genii | fuffalo: Not directly. But you can run something like nano on the ssh, copy and paste into local gedit, edit it, then reverse the process | 05:10 |
| cag | Hi, I cant see shit toolbars on my xfce... how do I reset my xfce settings from the terminal? | 05:10 |
| pmratpoison | !patience | pmratpoison | 05:10 |
| s0ulstice_ | Some_Person, Isn't there a print reverse option? | 05:10 |
| norml_advocate | sarap | 05:10 |
| Madpilot | pmratpoison, that's how ubotu works | 05:10 |
| norml_advocate | sarap you too buddy | 05:10 |
| Plight | I need drivers for my webcam, whoo can help? | 05:10 |
| EADG | chronos: use a live cd and check your ram with the memory test | 05:10 |
| emmajane | Marupa: I think you want each of those individually... | 05:10 |
| AnonCon | you can usually find a temp in the bios | 05:10 |
| Some_Person | s0ulstice_: where? | 05:10 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : if not, please try modprobe videodev | 05:11 |
| norml_advocate | ill sarap you up and down the floors | 05:11 |
| pmratpoison | Madpilot: Thats what I meant | 05:11 |
| AnonCon | or just feel it, it it's really hot, really fast..you could have a problem. | 05:11 |
| dygital | Plight, what happens when you unplug and plug in your webcam? I have one too and thats what I did. | 05:11 |
| norml_advocate | angry hacker wannabe here | 05:11 |
| s0ulstice_ | Some_Person, i think it would be in the print settings right before you click to print | 05:11 |
| norml_advocate | lookout | 05:11 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: v4l1_compat is on the left and videodev on the right of it | 05:11 |
| s0ulstice_ | Some_Person, Id test with a couple pages first though | 05:11 |
| Madpilot | norml_advocate, cool it, please. This is a tech support channel, not a chat channel. | 05:11 |
| Plight | nothing | 05:11 |
| Plight | it doesn't read the device | 05:11 |
| pmratpoison | now, as far as bash is is concerned, > redirects the standard output. Being a newb myself, I don't know what | does | 05:12 |
| Some_Person | s0ulstice_: i dont see the option | 05:12 |
| cag | how do I reset my XFCE settings from the terminal folks? | 05:12 |
| chronos | Ram check out good EADG | 05:12 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : can you try modprobe videodev anyway.. just to see? | 05:12 |
| AnonCon | can you enter your bios chronos? | 05:12 |
| s0ulstice_ | Some_Person, hmm maybe my printer has it and yours doesn't?? | 05:12 |
| Timmy | what is this channel are about? | 05:12 |
| dygital | Plight, do you see it in your System > Preferences > Hardware (or something that resembles it?) | 05:12 |
| chronos | anoncon, yup sure can. | 05:12 |
| Timmy | with the high technology talk,it sounds so interesting | 05:12 |
| pmratpoison | e.g. ls /path/to/stuff > asdf.text will make you an asdf.text file containing the output of ls | 05:12 |
| mohadib_ | cag remove the .xfce settings dorectories | 05:12 |
| chronos | It'll let me stay in there forever if I want | 05:12 |
| zylstra555 | Hello. I would like to intstall vgetty voicemail server, but, I cannot find the name of the package. How do I install it? | 05:12 |
| Flannel | !ubuntu | Timmy | 05:12 |
| Some_Person | s0ulstice_: my printer does it by default in windows | 05:12 |
| ubotu | Timmy: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 05:12 |
| AnonCon | someone in the menu you can usually monitor the cpu temperature | 05:12 |
| cag | thanks, mohadib_ | 05:13 |
| pmratpoison | hello! I want to autostart thunderbird with my sessions, but I want it to start minimised. What options should I use? | 05:13 |
| mohadib_ | np | 05:13 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: just type in modprobe videodev on command line? | 05:13 |
| s0ulstice_ | Some_Person, I dunno then.. I've only just set my printer up today | 05:13 |
| chronos | It's coming up around 100 to 98 Degrees celcius | 05:13 |
| skypiloteee | hmm,i logon, and gnome isn't responding at all, i can move the mouse, but nothing clicks | 05:13 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: if yes, i tried that just now and nothing happened | 05:13 |
| Sunnz2 | I'll give up on the onboard ethernet thing... | 05:13 |
| Sunnz2 | It just doesn't work... | 05:13 |
| AnonCon | google the normal operating temp for your cpu | 05:13 |
| dygital | Is there a good app to simulate an OS X Dock? | 05:13 |
| AnonCon | that should give you an idea | 05:13 |
| dygital | 100C is HOT! | 05:14 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : its really odd, you seem to have the driver correctly installed and loaded.. but you can't capture? or you can't capture hd? and what are you using to capture, as in what program? | 05:14 |
| s0ulstice_ | dygital, avant window navigator | 05:14 |
| Plight | i installed video4linux thingy, but it doesn't read the device | 05:14 |
| pmratpoison | dygital: avant window manager search it in the forums | 05:14 |
| AnonCon | I agree with dygital..it sounds pretty hot | 05:14 |
| dygital | either thats a bad sensor, or your overheating | 05:14 |
| AnonCon | brb | 05:14 |
| Sunnz2 | dygital, AWN | 05:14 |
| s0ulstice_ | AnonCon, yah that is way hot | 05:14 |
| cag | mohadib_ what directory? my home directory? | 05:14 |
| chronos | dygital: all my fans are working and I don't have a temp probe, so I'm a bit lost where it's getting it's temp reading | 05:14 |
| dygital | thanks! :) | 05:14 |
| dygital | cag, "~" | 05:14 |
| Plight | anoncon /b/? | 05:14 |
| mohadib_ | cag in your home dir should be some hidden xfce file/folders | 05:15 |
| dygital | chronos, are you familiar with what a southbridge is on your motherboard? | 05:15 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: i have mythtv installed. i can capture video via AV cables, no HD, and no audio | 05:15 |
| cag | weird... I don't see any .xfce files | 05:15 |
| Plight | i think i need drivers for the camera | 05:15 |
| mohadib_ | cag me neither now that i look lol | 05:16 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: i also tried vlc and the same thing happened | 05:16 |
| mohadib_ | i thought i would be like gnome :p | 05:16 |
| pmratpoison | how does one start an application minimised? | 05:16 |
| mohadib_ | sorry | 05:16 |
| chronos | just a sec dygital, i'll look it up | 05:16 |
| hw00djohn | hey, i'm trying to set up evolution mail...does anyone know what the server and type is for gmail? | 05:16 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : from what I can tell, most people are using it for tvtime.. whatever that is | 05:16 |
| dygital | chronos, I would try to take a look in the case, and see if there's any blockage of airflow over the SB... that usually gets got from HDD activity. | 05:16 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: at first vlc would give me video and crappy sound, then after upgrading my ALSA drivers i couldn't get audio at all | 05:16 |
| s0ulstice_ | hw00djohn, There are many pages that describe how to do this.. I like thunderbird better than evolution | 05:17 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: tvtime? wtf? ok i'll take a look at that | 05:17 |
| hw00djohn | thanks | 05:17 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : sounds like alsa is improperly configured. or mythtv is. | 05:17 |
| s0ulstice_ | hw00djohn, make sure you go into your gmail account and enable pop3 too | 05:17 |
| s0ulstice_ | hw00djohn, But I believe it is SSL and its pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com for outgoing | 05:18 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: that's what i thought too, but i tried all possible settings with mythtv. i wouldn't doubt if it's on alsa's end, however all other video (from dvds or trailers online) plays perfectly with audio | 05:18 |
| s0ulstice_ | hw00djohn, sudo apt-get install thunderbird if you want it | 05:18 |
| AnonCon | back, chronos I totally agree with dygital | 05:18 |
| chronos | dygital: what's the sb? | 05:18 |
| AnonCon | if you haven't done so already def check your case for obstructions. | 05:18 |
| AnonCon | a can of duster never hurt | 05:18 |
| dom_ | i can't dual-boot into vista after resizing partitions :( | 05:19 |
| dygital | Plight, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam for help installing a Webcam... | 05:19 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: tvtime looks like garbage, i'd rather not install it :) | 05:19 |
| tyrone | Joecurlee : I think this might be a busted driver build. I just found that support for the card just came out in late january, and this IS a cvs build. Maybe someone is tweaking it at the moment. In that case, it could explain the issues. Alot of people have varying success with it, since that part of cvs is under heavy work | 05:19 |
| Alphinux | Hi, a friend of mine has a Live DVD Ubuntu 2.6.22. Do you know what's the root passwd? | 05:19 |
| s0ulstice_ | Alphinux, There is no root password | 05:19 |
| pmratpoison | !root | 05:19 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:19 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: i see, i didn't think of that, and it does make some sense | 05:19 |
| norml_advocat2 | d | 05:20 |
| pmratpoison | but it's ubuntu / ubuntu | 05:20 |
| pmratpoison | if you restart X | 05:20 |
| pmratpoison | I think that is | 05:20 |
| dygital | chronos, SB = Southbridge... it's a chip on the motherboard with a small heatsink on it (think: metal with fins) ... usually located "south" of the processor area. | 05:20 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: i wonder if there is a stable build. is it easy to remove the drivers, or if i reinstall following the same steps will they just get overwritten? | 05:20 |
| Flannel | pmratpoison: no, there is a blank password. But even then, that's not the root password | 05:20 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : in this phase of dev, it can get torn appart overnight and rebuilt the next day | 05:20 |
| pmratpoison | Flannel: didn't say it was the root passd | 05:20 |
| norml_advocat2 | how do I get syn. pack. man. to get audacity 1.2.6? | 05:20 |
| pmratpoison | passwd | 05:20 |
| Alphinux | aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yea I forgot about that thing on Ubuntu thx | 05:20 |
| norml_advocat2 | how do I get syn. pack. man. to get audacity 1.2.6? | 05:21 |
| dom_ | anyone here have experience w/ dual booting vista? | 05:21 |
| norml_advocat2 | !patience norml_advocat2 | 05:21 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : absolutely, a rebuild would overwrite the old. However, if we could find a tarball that someone got to work.. that would be best. Otherwise, trying it out here and there would likely get you somwhere at one point | 05:21 |
| AnonCon | sorry dom_ I don't | 05:21 |
| puxel | which do you have installed first dom? | 05:21 |
| dom_ | vista was pre-installed | 05:21 |
| dom_ | installed ubuntu, dual-boot action was working fine.... | 05:21 |
| pmratpoison | norml_advocat2: applications > add/remove and check audacity | 05:22 |
| puxel | it should. | 05:22 |
| dom_ | except we had to make the vista partition larger. used gparted, now vista won't boot | 05:22 |
| AnonCon | dygital...you have a second? | 05:22 |
| puxel | Hmm. | 05:22 |
| puxel | That, im afraid, i cant help you with. | 05:22 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_ whats wrong with it | 05:22 |
| puxel | could it be your bios? | 05:22 |
| norml_advocat2 | pmratpoison the latest version is the only one i get. which is 1.3.4 and it doesnt work, i need 1.2.6 | 05:22 |
| dygital | AnonCon, sure :) | 05:22 |
| dom_ | vista shows the loading screen (green bar bouncing back and forth), never gets passed that | 05:22 |
| AnonCon | I IM'd you | 05:23 |
| dom_ | safe mode lists "CRCDISK.SYS" as the last entry | 05:23 |
| dygital | oh? | 05:23 |
| norml_advocat2 | !patience AnonCon | 05:23 |
| computer_ | how do i share my wireless it only seems to be picking up my wired connection. is it because im already using my wireless with ubuntu? | 05:23 |
| AnonCon | ? | 05:23 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, Im thinking you find it in the backports or in another repo.. just search for it | 05:23 |
| norml_advocat2 | i did | 05:23 |
| AnonCon | i'm in no hurry lol | 05:23 |
| computer_ | i am running vista on vmware | 05:23 |
| pmratpoison | norml_advocat2: Then go to synaptic and click on the package, and then Package > Force Version | 05:23 |
| norml_advocat2 | on syn. pack. man. | 05:23 |
| norml_advocat2 | oh | 05:23 |
| dygital | I'm new to X-Chat... so i didn't see it. | 05:23 |
| dom_ | here's an interesting note: once, while booting vista, it began scanning the disk... and as soon as it finished, it booted linux (no restart) | 05:23 |
| AnonCon | me too, so I don't know how often people IM | 05:24 |
| dom_ | and it was definitely vista running the scan (M$ logo was there) | 05:24 |
| norml_advocat2 | pmratpoison: how do I make your name come up in yellow when I type you a message? | 05:24 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : I've found alot of posts saying that sound support is currently botched but work is ongoing. Again, should be integrated by kernel .25 . In that case, you won't have to mess with anything to get the module up | 05:24 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, So what happened? You lost your vista partition, or what | 05:24 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: no, it's still there. in fact, i can mount it from linux | 05:24 |
| dygital | So I checked out AWN... and it seems like a PIA to install. Isn't there a debian package available? | 05:24 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: when is kernel .25 supposed to hit? | 05:25 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, But what, you cant boot to it? | 05:25 |
| dom_ | vista shows the loading screen (green bar bouncing back and forth), never gets passed that | 05:25 |
| pmratpoison | If you right my nick in full, then the xchat icon blinks, so I'll know | 05:25 |
| dom_ | when booting safe mode, it lists "CRCDISK.SYS" as the last entry | 05:25 |
| pmratpoison | right = write, pardon my typos | 05:25 |
| norml_advocat2 | gotcha, so how do you make mine come up in yellow? | 05:26 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, Hmm thats weird.. so its just hanging there then? All the files are still there when you mount it in linux? | 05:26 |
| dom_ | yup | 05:26 |
| norml_advocat2 | and by full do you include the : | 05:26 |
| AnonCon | I am totally new to Linux. I know some programming and am decently savvy. Where should my first stop in linux be if I am wanting to become a power user? | 05:26 |
| computer_ | acetoneiso worked like a charm! thnx for the recommendation | 05:27 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: i think the windows bootloader is messed up - but i can't figure out how or why | 05:27 |
| dygital | AnonCon, I'm in your same shoes | 05:27 |
| dom_ | plus, i can't do anything to it (configured through a windows app called BCDedit.exe) | 05:27 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, Yeah that is kind of weird... You use GRUB to dualboot right? | 05:27 |
| dom_ | yes | 05:27 |
| puxel | when I start up some applications, the title bar appears underneath the top panel. How can i fix this? | 05:27 |
| AnonCon | dang | 05:27 |
| AnonCon | lol | 05:28 |
| dygital | AnonCon, I just browse the ubuntuforums, search google and mimic my tasks that I do in Windows on over... and I guess I'm OK... ;) | 05:28 |
| norml_advocat2 | how do i do a "force version" on a syn. pack. download | 05:28 |
| norml_advocat2 | ? | 05:28 |
| dom_ | is there a preferred pastbin for this channel? | 05:28 |
| genii | !paste | 05:28 |
| 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) | 05:28 |
| AnonCon | I got the basics down...and I'm learning C++ in college. I hope to dev some stuff | 05:28 |
| AnonCon | right now i know vb :( | 05:28 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, are you using metacity or emerald??? | 05:28 |
| pmratpoison | norml_advocat2: well, that is a client XChat thingy... If I write your nick in my text, then I appear yellow, like I just did... same goesd to you. So if you want your nick to appear yellow to a user, just write their name | 05:28 |
| sfears | can anyone direct me on where to get some help with sound output.. i'm getting audio out of my headphone jack.. but when i run it into my reciever it sounds like it's all surround sound.. no vocals | 05:29 |
| t_ | ridiculous! FUCKING RIDICULOUS! | 05:29 |
| t_ | UBUNTU IS TOO EASY TO USE! | 05:29 |
| AnonCon | ? | 05:29 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : I'm not sure when for the kernel, but I do know it is the one under dev, since .24 is out. I really think hardy will be using it. Most likely it will come as an update if it doesn't. and I've also found that hd is an issue at the moment, but the framework is in place. I would expect that your issues will get fixed soon enough. Some users have reported moderate success on both ends though. http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/li | 05:29 |
| tyrone | nux-dvb/2008-January/thread.html | 05:29 |
| norml_advocat2 | pmratpoison like that? | 05:29 |
| puxel | emerald | 05:29 |
| pmratpoison | norml_advocat2 yup | 05:29 |
| t_ | also... compiz fusion is wonderful! | 05:29 |
| dygital | pmratpoison, I find the tab completion very welcoming in X-Chat | 05:29 |
| norml_advocat2 | cool | 05:29 |
| dom_ | here's my menu.lst: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56698/ | 05:29 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, try this hit alt-f2 and it should bring up a run-in0terminal box | 05:29 |
| dygital | so like for my you just need to type in "dy" and press Tab | 05:30 |
| pmratpoison | dygital: I use it too | 05:30 |
| puxel | ok | 05:30 |
| seracht | Hi | 05:30 |
| AnonCon | dygital: ditto | 05:30 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, and type in emerald and run it | 05:30 |
| genii | t_: I'm happy for you, but please try not to use profanity, we're trying to keep the channel family-friendly :) | 05:30 |
| norml_advocat2 | How do you do a force version download in syn. pack. man.? | 05:30 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel but dont check run in terminal | 05:30 |
| seracht | can someone give me a site that has some good screenshots of ubuntu | 05:30 |
| puxel | ok | 05:30 |
| seracht | specifically, trying to fix the font | 05:30 |
| dygital | seracht, what do you want screenshots of? | 05:30 |
| seracht | dygital: just ubuntu in general | 05:30 |
| AnonCon | anyone have any ideas why I can't get anjuta to run? | 05:30 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, tell me if that works | 05:30 |
| seracht | my font looks ugly :( | 05:30 |
| pmratpoison | norml_advocat2: click on audacity and then from the main menus, click Package > Force Version I think the keyboard shortcut is ctrl + E | 05:31 |
| puxel | one second | 05:31 |
| dygital | I think www.flickr.com has a lot just search "ubuntu screenshots" | 05:31 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: *sigh* i guess i can wait... i'm extremely impatient though :) | 05:31 |
| dom_ | and here's the result of fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56700/ | 05:31 |
| dygital | seracht, are you running ubuntu now? | 05:31 |
| puxel | nope, they still appear under the panel | 05:31 |
| seracht | yes dygital | 05:31 |
| seracht | right now | 05:31 |
| seracht | I need a font recommendation | 05:31 |
| AnonCon | ahhh....to be a newb again :( | 05:31 |
| norml_advocat2 | pmratpoison yep i just saw that myself, but i still cant get 1.2.6 | 05:32 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : I know the feeling. I've been looking for a stupid header file all night now.. | 05:32 |
| norml_advocat2 | bummer | 05:32 |
| dom_ | any clues? | 05:32 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, you sure you are using emerald?? when that happens to me it is because emerald crashes and i have to restart it.. maybe try emerald --replace ?? | 05:32 |
| dygital | seracht, I suggest making your own screenshots easily, press the PRNT SCRN button on your keyboard. | 05:32 |
| seracht | ... | 05:32 |
| dygital | they output in PNG. | 05:32 |
| seracht | I want screenshots to see examples of ubuntu themes/fonts | 05:32 |
| tanubis | Hey everyone, I'm trying to connect a w300i (sony ericsson) to my Ubuntu laptop through the USB that came with the phone. When you connect it, the phone displays options to select "Phone Mode" or "File Transfer". Selecting Transfer connects as a usb drive, but selecting Phone seems to generate no response on the laptop. Anyone have ideas as to what's going on? | 05:32 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: that sucks... wish i could be of help there... i guess I'll try installing different drivers later after I've taken a break from this | 05:32 |
| joecurlee | tyrone: thanks for the help at least i know I'm not crazy now! | 05:32 |
| AnonCon | gota go guys, naked gf | 05:33 |
| pmratpoison | norml_advocat2: that probably means that 1.2.6 isn't in the repos... Correct me someone if I'm wrong! I guess you could install it from source if that's the case. | 05:33 |
| puxel | that just made the screen jump | 05:33 |
| bullgard4 | What command line command will be called by clicking on the Gnome 'Force Quit Button' applet? | 05:33 |
| dygital | seracht, *Ohh*... in that case, check out Gnome Art http://art.gnome.org/ | 05:33 |
| jumbers | I just went to play an MP3 file and now every type of file has a MIME type of "application/octet-stream". How can I fix this? | 05:33 |
| puxel | then set back to just where it was. | 05:33 |
| === hdevalence is now known as hdevalence^afk | ||
| AnonCon | exit | 05:33 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : Don't worry, these guys are working pretty fast from the looks of it. Should be any time now. | 05:33 |
| ian_suntong | gdf | 05:33 |
| seracht | thanks dygital | 05:33 |
| seracht | will check those out | 05:33 |
| joecurlee | cool. later... hope you find the header file | 05:33 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, hmm does it happen even when you log in?? like right away? | 05:33 |
| seracht | can you guys recommend any fonts | 05:33 |
| puxel | yeah. | 05:34 |
| reasons | its all about myraid pro | 05:34 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 likely it sends a kill command | 05:34 |
| urbushey | Any ideas as to why my amaroK would install without a "podcast" option? | 05:34 |
| puxel | i'm going to restart x. bbs. | 05:34 |
| s0ulstice_ | k | 05:34 |
| puxel | thanks for the help s0ul | 05:34 |
| dygital | seracht, I use the MS Fonts Core pack... it carries over the default fonts in Windows | 05:34 |
| tyrone | joecurlee : Their sending out a lot of pathes lately, from what i can see | 05:34 |
| s0ulstice_ | yw puxel | 05:34 |
| pmratpoison | seracht: download the fonts from medibuntu and then look for the ones you like | 05:34 |
| norml_advocat2 | DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO ENABLE THE OPTIONS IN AUDACITY 1.3? | 05:34 |
| bullgard4 | tanubis: Yes, but I should like to know it more exactly. | 05:34 |
| urbushey | wow this room is crazy how does anyone get anything done in here? | 05:35 |
| reasons | What options are you looking for? I haven't used audicity in a while. | 05:35 |
| sfears | nothing gets done in this room urbushey | 05:35 |
| norml_advocat2 | urbushey just type alot | 05:35 |
| urbushey | haha | 05:35 |
| sfears | it's a conspiracy | 05:35 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, Nothing looks too out of place in your output, you cant use the vista disk for any restore options??? | 05:35 |
| sfears | it just gives the illusuion of being able to use linux | 05:35 |
| skypiloteee | mostly ubotu ends up doing the talking | 05:35 |
| norml_advocat2 | reasons i dont have any options | 05:36 |
| norml_advocat2 | reasons i just want to cut clips from songs | 05:36 |
| urbushey | Well, i'll spam this then i guess: | 05:36 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: no DVD or CD shipped with the system | 05:36 |
| urbushey | anyone know why my amaroK doesn't have a "podcast" tab? | 05:36 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 check "man pgrep" "man pkill" | 05:36 |
| dom_ | i believe that's what the extra NTFS partition is for | 05:36 |
| urbushey | i cant find a plug-in or anything that would add podcast functionality | 05:36 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, haha cheap bastards.. what did they do provide a ghost partition? | 05:36 |
| reasons | norml, like a song is 30 seconds long and you only want tine 10 to 20? | 05:36 |
| Schmao-Fmao | Hi there, how do I get a list of process id's that are started by a certain user? I've been using "top -b -n 1 | grep username" but that's a bit slow ... | 05:36 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, yah m$ cheap bastards | 05:36 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 if you wanted to duplicate the kill window command from command line, you'd use pgrep to find the name of the process you want and pkill to terminate it | 05:36 |
| dom_ | pretty much | 05:37 |
| puxel | hmm. didnt fix anything | 05:37 |
| reasons | schmao, use htop, it'll say what users are using what | 05:37 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: i tried booting from it as well, it just gives a black screen | 05:37 |
| norml_advocat2 | reasons that or a song is 5 min. long and i just want 10 secs | 05:37 |
| reasons | give me a bit and a man page :) | 05:37 |
| s0ulstice_ | puxel, maybe tyr reinstalling emerald? I dunno if there is anything else it relies on to draw the title bars.. I just know I restart emerald to fix mine | 05:37 |
| dygital | well thanks for the help mohadib_ et al. Have a good night. | 05:37 |
| urbushey | oooh i just found an amarok channel | 05:38 |
| mohadib_ | o/ | 05:38 |
| urbushey | ill go bother them | 05:38 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, Booting from the restore drive gives you just a black screen? | 05:38 |
| norml_advocat2 | reasons whats a man page? | 05:38 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, Manual | 05:38 |
| Schmao-Fmao | reasons, any programs that come standard that do the same thing? :) I'm only asking because I have 15 computers, and to use htop I'd have to install it on each one | 05:38 |
| puxel | will do. | 05:38 |
| puxel | thanks | 05:38 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: yes. i can't figure this damned thing out :-/ | 05:38 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 for example, if I wanted to kill my browser, I could pgrep firefox and then pkill <idnumber from pgrep> to terminate it | 05:38 |
| Dr_pSiE | hey guys hast anyone tried hardy beta yet on a 64 cpu? | 05:39 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, that sucks...hmmm....dunno | 05:39 |
| norml_advocat2 | whats a "bit" some time, or something else thats a nerd code ;-) | 05:39 |
| s0ulstice_ | Dr_pSiE, No I have gutsy on 64 though... working very smooth | 05:39 |
| reasons | Schmoa, not that I'm aware of, but htop is so small that even a dialup connection will get it in under a minute. It really is a must have as you can sort by cpu, mem, etc. as well as being colored. | 05:40 |
| Dr_pSiE | well since my last kernel update hardy isn't working as smooth as it was before | 05:40 |
| Schmao-Fmao | reasons, sweet :) I'll install it then | 05:40 |
| ckin2001 | Schmao-Fmao, ps aux | grep "username" | awk '{ print $2 }' | 05:40 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 Also, you could use the command pstree -p to see a list of running processes laid out as an ascii diagram, and pskill id# to terminate | 05:40 |
| seracht | hey | 05:40 |
| s0ulstice_ | Dr_pSiE, Hardy is +1 .. maybe try that channel? | 05:40 |
| Dr_pSiE | cheers | 05:41 |

| tanubis | anyone know how to detect what a usb device is doing? | 05:41 |

| cfedde | ask the account owner. | 05:42 |
| seracht | um | 05:42 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, Hmm its worth a try for sure | 05:42 |
| reasons | To who was looking at audicity, I couldn't find it but these links might help: http://curriculum.union.edu/tips/audacity.php http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/tutorial_ed_beginner2.html | 05:42 |
| genii | norml_advocat2: What cfedde said. | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | tanubis: Your explanations are helpful, and I thank you for them. -- My outset was that a communication program prevented me from terminating my Epiphany. Even using the 'Force Quit Button' could not kill the remnants of Epiphany. Only using 'killall epiphany' killed the remnants. So I wonder what the 'Force Quit Button' really does. | 05:42 |
| seracht | so how do I check out compiz settings? | 05:42 |
| norml_advocat2 | FX kcontrol | 05:42 |
| s0ulstice_ | seracht, do you have the compizconfig-settings-manager package downloaded | 05:43 |
| reasons | grab the compizconfig from aptitude and then customize it by right clicking the desktop and going under the efects tab | 05:43 |
| norml_advocat2 | genii but I dont want to ask for it. I was thinkin somethin more ninjalike | 05:43 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: right... so... how might i do that? | 05:43 |

When I modprobe fglrx I get FATAL: Error running install command for fglrx. I have been googling ATI tutorial for literally weeks on end. What the hell do I have to do to get this working? | 05:44 |
| ckin2001 | norml_advocat2, ninjas cannot ask for the path - they must find the way alone | 05:44 |
| seracht | hmm | 05:44 |
| genii | norml_advocat2: Thats exactly the reason you likely won't find an answer here for that. | 05:44 |
| s0ulstice_ | dom_, That is a good question haha.. I don't know.. haven't worked with vista much | 05:44 |
| FX | I had kubuntu but instead of downloading the whole ubuntu cd to change over I just apt-got ubuntu-desktop and then removed everything kde. lol | 05:44 |
| norml_advocat2 | im not a malicious person I just want free web access | 05:44 |
| dom_ | s0ulstice_: not really a vista thing | 05:44 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 anytime. I suppose if one was really curious, one could always find the source code and take a gander. My guess would be that it looks for the process ID of the window you click, and kills that. But if a parent process has hung, sometimes the child process that's displaying the window maybe doesn't work? I could be way off though. | 05:44 |
| dom_ | i have a disk partition, i want to make a bootable dvd copy of it | 05:45 |
| seracht | isn't there some application that works similar to apt-get | 05:45 |

| dA_ShArP | My DPKG is giving this error http://rafb.net/p/ZAdDGm59.html, | 05:45 |
| norml_advocat2 | why are hackers so secretive? | 05:45 |
| reasons | aptitude | 05:45 |
| codyduncan | Someone have an answer?: I accidentally removed Pidgin messenger from my system tray, now every time I close the buddy list, the messenger closes completely (as in, quits). How do I put it back to how it was? | 05:45 |
| cfedde | norml_advocat2: there are plenty of open access points. I think there's a national one called 'linksys' Available in most american suburbs these days. | 05:45 |
| dA_ShArP | My DPKG is giving this error http://rafb.net/p/ZAdDGm59.html, the thing is I am unable to install apache2 or re isnatll or do nothing with apt-get | 05:45 |
| seracht | reasons: is that command line based? | 05:45 |
| dA_ShArP | how do I fix it? | 05:45 |
| norml_advocat2 | isnt linksys a router brand? and arent they sometimes encrypted? | 05:46 |
| genii | norml_advocat2: Do some homework :) Google is full of answers on queries like "aircrack-ng" "wep" "sniff" and so on. | 05:46 |
| reasons | seracht, it can be with aptitude install pkg or it has a terminal gui type thing. I'm not too sure, I use arch. | 05:46 |
| bullgard4 | tanubis: Last night I already tried to find the source code but was not successful. I will keep trying. | 05:46 |
| cfedde | norml_advocat2: you're kinda new at this arn't you? | 05:46 |
| norml_advocat2 | genii i think your a hacker | 05:46 |

| reasons | da_sharp, that is a problem with your connection, possibly your soucres.list, not apt-get | 05:50 |
| ckin2001 | bullgard4, force quit does a soft kill, not kill -9, looking for the code | 05:50 |

| norml_advocat2 | genii good stuff | 05:51 |
| norml_advocat2 | genii i knew you were a hacker | 05:51 |

Ive tried to install it maually via cpan but I still get the error. Can anyone tell me if a compatible perl module is available in gutsy, I cant seem to find one anywhere | 05:51 |
| reasons | That obviously isn't the address | 05:51 |
| genii | norml_advocat2: I'm not really some "hacker" but I've done my share of exploration :) | 05:51 |
| nickrud | genii: I'd say genii is a hacker, not a cracker (in this incarnation, anyway :) | 05:51 |
| reasons | Go to the devices tab with your ipod mounted | 05:52 |
| reasons | Pretty self-explanityr from there | 05:52 |
| bullgard4 | ckin2001: My problem is to find out what that applet really does. Yesterday I used it to kill my Epiphany which was stuck but did not succeed. Only 'killall epiphany' succeeded. | 05:52 |
| dA_ShArP | reasons: Yes, but I am trying to STOP or START the apache.. but it is giving error like what you see DPKG gives | 05:52 |
| Waffle | k thanks | 05:52 |
| genii | nickrud: I think thats the nicest thing someone said to me this week :) | 05:52 |
| norml_advocat2 | genii what the diff. between hacker and cracker? | 05:52 |
| s0ulstice_ | nickrud, haha whats up dude... your not gonna ask me to a dual are you? haha | 05:52 |
| ckin2001 | bullgard4, launchpad FAQ said that the applet does a soft kill, not a killall | 05:52 |
| * nickrud eyes s0ulstice_ , and sidles away ;) | 05:52 | |
| genii | norml_advocat2: classical hackers are not malicious. Crackers are. | 05:53 |
| silas428 | Are reverse-engineers considered crackers?? | 05:53 |
| nickrud | s0ulstice_: :p | 05:53 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, cracker cracks security passwords, reverse engineer software etc, a hacker just pushes hardware and software beyond its original intended limits | 05:53 |
| bullgard4 | ckin2001: So I need to enquire more on 'soft kill' in order to find out? | 05:53 |
| silas428 | I read some of their stuff, I think they like the word "crack" | 05:53 |
| dA_ShArP | reasons: and that's what DPKG is trying to do aswell, well the thing is I am upgrading my computer after like 30 days | 05:53 |
| genbuntu | so any ideas how to configure extra buttons of my mouse? | 05:53 |

| codyduncan | can someone help me with some stupid mistake I just made? I accidentally removed Pidgin messenger from my system tray, now every time I close the buddy list, the messenger closes completely (as in, quits). How do I put it back to how it was? | 05:54 |
| silas428 | s0ulstice_:wouldn't cracking be something illegal? I know RCE isn't illegal if the source code was never used | 05:54 |
| ckin2001 | bullgard4, soft kill is equivalent to typing "kill %pid" at command line, hard kill is "kill -9 %pid" | 05:54 |
| genbuntu | ah, *runs off to check that site* | 05:54 |
| silas428 | !asus | 05:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about asus - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:54 |
| nickrud | codyduncan: check the peferences, on the interface tab: there's a setting to control the system tray icon | 05:54 |
| silas428 | !167g | 05:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 167g - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:54 |
| bullgard4 | ckin2001 And how does 'killall epiphany' fit into this picture? | 05:55 |
| s0ulstice_ | silas428, i guess it depends on how you use the information, whos it is, etc, WHAT it is too | 05:55 |
| Waffle | reasons: ok, im stuck. i have all the artists in the list. what now? | 05:55 |
| norml_advocat2 | I think that the hacking cracking community needs to stop cowering and realize that without them there would be no Ubuntu | 05:55 |
| phiqtion | when is the next version of ubuntu coming out? | 05:55 |
| nickrud | phiqtion: scheduled for april | 05:55 |
| norml_advocat2 | Speak up Speak out UNITE | 05:55 |
| bullgard4 | phiqtion: In April | 05:55 |
| phiqtion | thank you | 05:55 |
| jc | can anyone explain firestarter to me? | 05:56 |
| codyduncan | nickrud: that does not solve it | 05:56 |
| silas428 | jc: its a gui for iptables, pretty much all i know | 05:56 |
| ckin2001 | bullgard4, killall gets all instances of a process name, not just the one associated with 1 pid | 05:56 |
| reasons | Waffle, this would be a great time for me to use amarok, huh? :) When I did use it there should be a drop box for device manager, check through the settings if it's not there. Once you find it, and I know it exists, look for your monunted ipod in the list and say to use that device | 05:56 |
| nickrud | codyduncan: hm. | 05:56 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, haah your funny | 05:57 |
| reasons | Waffle, if you already did that and I read you wrong, there should be a sync button in the top bar | 05:57 |
| jc | silas428, thanks, if thats the case then after I configure it does it need to be running? | 05:57 |
| bullgard4 | ckin2001: Ah! Thank you very much for explaining. | 05:57 |
| nickrud | codyduncan: a silly question: you do still have the system tray. | 05:57 |
| ckin2001 | bullgard4, gotta go, but i couldnt find the force kill @ svn.gnome.org - maybe you can | 05:57 |
| ckin2001 | good luck and your welcome :D | 05:57 |
| codyduncan | nickrud: that may not be a silly question... | 05:57 |
| silas428 | jc: Not sure, if you want to configure a firewall use fwbuilder of the one in the ubuntu repositories | 05:58 |
| Waffle | reasons: there's a "transfer" button, but its grayed out | 05:58 |
| silas428 | jc: guarddog I think it's called | 05:58 |
| norml_advocat2 | s0ulstice_ i am funny. and a bit dramatic but somewhat serious. why cant I meet a hacker? I wanna be a hacker! | 05:58 |
| seracht | quck question, how can you make more workspaces? | 05:58 |
| codyduncan | nickrud: I don't see it on the "add to panel" list | 05:58 |
| computer_ | how do i share my wireless it only seems to be picking up my wired connection. is it because im already using my wireless with ubuntu? | 05:59 |
| silas428 | norml_advocat2: have you ever read ESR's "how to be a hacker" | 05:59 |
| nickrud | codyduncan: it's called the notification area (system tray is the old name, sorry) | 05:59 |
| computer_ | i am running vista on vmware | 05:59 |
| jc | silas428, so guarddog and firestarter do different things? | 05:59 |
| silas428 | jc: guarddog is to setup a firewall, firestarter is a GUI for the iptables on Ubuntu | 05:59 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, You know how to read right? | 05:59 |
| codyduncan | jackpot | 05:59 |
| reasons | That would mean the ipod isn't mounted and if it is, amarok isn't noticing. When you first started amarok with your ipod mounted it should have asked to use it. What we need to do is find that setting. | 05:59 |
| codyduncan | nickrud: well done, thanks mate | 06:00 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, do a google search for backtrack3 and download it | 06:00 |
| nickrud | codyduncan: you're welcome | 06:00 |
| silas428 | jc: from what I seen from firestarter, it shows the activity on your network and lets you block ports | 06:00 |
| norml_advocat2 | s0ulstice who is ESR? | 06:00 |
| cfedde | eric s raymond | 06:00 |
| * nickrud boggles at the thought that someone wants to be a hacker, and doesn't know who esr is | 06:00 | |
| jc | silas428, ok so I guess i'm confused, I thought iptables was the firewall in ubuntu | 06:00 |
| silas428 | norml_advocat2: he co-founded the Open Source Initiative | 06:00 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 the command it's calling is xkill | 06:01 |
| genbuntu | Would anyone know How do I start Pidgin minimized ? | 06:01 |
| norml_advocat2 | silas428 well thankyou for clearing that up smartypants | 06:01 |
| silas428 | jc: I'm not an expert so don't quote me, but I think they are two different things, not 100% on this | 06:01 |
| reasons | Waffle, also, do you have libgpod installed | 06:01 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 if you type that in and hit enter, you basically get the exact same thing as what the force kill does | 06:01 |
| nickrud | norml_advocat2: there's even a virtual eric s raymond in your repos, install vrms ;) | 06:01 |
| silas428 | norml_advocat2: google ESR and check out his homepage | 06:01 |
| jc | silas428, k thanks | 06:01 |
| brdoco | is there more to sharing a printer than just Global Settings -> Share Printers? | 06:01 |
| nickrud | norml_advocat2: they are interchangeable in some senses | 06:01 |
| norml_advocat2 | nickrud you lost me | 06:02 |
| norml_advocat2 | nickrud what is a repos | 06:02 |
| Waffle | reasons, i think i figured it out. i had to configure amarok for a music folder then right click on all my music and hit copy to collection | 06:02 |
| victor__ | olis | 06:02 |
| victor__ | ? | 06:02 |
| reasons | Waffle, this might do it too. In Amarok go to settings and set it to autodetect devices | 06:02 |
| seracht | guys with pigwin | 06:02 |
| s0ulstice_ | norml_advocat2, who? | 06:02 |
| seracht | do you have problems wit hte font shaking | 06:02 |
| nickrud | norml_advocat2: I lost myself a bit there. Picking up with your last question, see following: | 06:02 |
| victor__ | olasssssssssssss | 06:02 |
| victor__ | ???????? | 06:02 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 they just modified it slightly (esc cancels as opposed to mouse2 + help text window) | 06:02 |

| norml_advocat2 | oh | 06:03 |
| brdoco | is there more to sharing a printer than just Global Settings -> Share Printers? | 06:04 |
| silas428 | norml_advocat2: Make sure you read "the rootless root" | 06:04 |
| bullgard4 | tanubis: Ah, very interesting. I will play a bit with xkill and see if its effect is the same as that of the 'Force Quit Button' applet. -- You are most helpful. Thank you very much indeed. | 06:04 |
| tanubis | bullgard4 welcome... still hunting for the source myself; someone on another forum had mentioned that force kill applet = gui wrapper for xkill command, but didn't site source. | 06:06 |
| Dezine | Is it possible to set different wallpapers for each desktop? | 06:06 |
| tanubis | dezine yes | 06:06 |

| nickrud | !caps | zxcvbnm | 06:10 |
| ubotu | zxcvbnm: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 06:10 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, that's the usual incantation at least | 06:10 |
| tanubis | nickrud if you've any idea how to use ubuntu to control sms on a recalcitrant w300i over usb cable using commandline or php, that's what I'm hunting for :) | 06:10 |
| nickrud | tanubis: fortunately, no I don't :) | 06:11 |
| zxcvbnm | WHAT DO YOU MEAN I NOT UNDERSTAND | 06:11 |
| bluebanana | cwillu: it doesn't work | 06:11 |
| bluebanana | please see the tar.gz file | 06:11 |
| nickrud | zxcvbnm: please use lower case, not captitalized letters | 06:11 |
| bluebanana | there's a file called "runToBuild" | 06:11 |
| seracht | to install awn do I just do sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator? | 06:11 |

| samuel | How to valid the environment variable after I set in the .profile ? | 06:11 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, you might need to chmod a+x runToBuild first | 06:11 |
| nickrud | seracht: arg. No, you have to find an outside repo for it | 06:12 |
| zxcvbnm | oh i see thanks for your information | 06:12 |
| AntiUSA | is Kubuntu aesthetically better than Ubuntu? | 06:12 |
| AntiUSA | and does it have any disadvantages | 06:12 |
| seracht | nickrud: any guides out there? | 06:12 |
| cwillu | AntiUSA, is a honda aesthetically better than a toyota? | 06:12 |
| cwillu | AntiUSA, depends on who you ask | 06:12 |
| AntiUSA | well which has more visual effects? | 06:13 |
| nickrud | seracht: http://getdeb.net/app/Avant+Window+Navigator , but I do not vouch for the quality | 06:13 |
| SRN9 | I have been using Kubuntu and ubuntu for about 2 yrs now, they both seem to be quite the same, other than the wm. | 06:13 |
| AntiUSA | wm? | 06:13 |
| AntiUSA | does one have more compatability/stability than the other? | 06:14 |
| SRN9 | window manager, or user interface, sorry about that. | 06:14 |
| bluebanana | cwillu: did the chmod command, but there's an error | 06:14 |
| AntiUSA | ah ok, sorry i'm nbew to linux | 06:14 |
| nickrud | AntiUSA: the best description of the difference I've seen is something along the lines of kde is for tweakers, gnome is for users ;) | 06:14 |
| SRN9 | no problem | 06:14 |
| AntiUSA | thanks Nick, thats helpful | 06:15 |
| cwillu | !pullingteeth | 06:15 |

| bluebanana | cwillu: try downloading it | 06:15 |
| * brdoco must be invisible | 06:15 | |
| nickrud | AntiUSA: not to say that kde is any less / more than gnome, they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Try both for yourself | 06:15 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, try telling me what the error is; I'm just helping out while waiting for builds and transfers and the like | 06:16 |

| nickrud | norml_advocat2: very little, I run gnome | 06:22 |
| karllenz | right now ubuntu with a loading bar | 06:22 |
| TurtleOfDoom | karllenz: for how long? | 06:22 |
| nickrud | brdoco: ignored? If it was for a question, it either got lost in the channel scroll, or no one knew the answer. Ask every 10 minutes or so | 06:23 |
| [chr0n0s] | anyone here who uses tomboy? | 06:23 |
| norml_advocat2 | nickrud is that also known as gdk? and is gnome better? and why did my computer start messing up when I installed KDE? | 06:23 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, find out if they say anything on the site about needing dependencies | 06:23 |
| karllenz | then it goes to a screen that has four lines ending in {ok} | 06:23 |
| TurtleOfDoom | norml_advocat2: gdk is a part of gnome | 06:23 |
| linux_user400354 | how can i remove everything installed from the mediubuntu repository and undo all the changes it did? it also upgraded software and things do not work right. id really like to do more than take it out of my sources.list. i need to undo all the changes it did. could anyone please tell me how? | 06:23 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, looks like you probably need libsdl-dev or something | 06:23 |
| bluebanana | cwillu: " Note: To build from source, you must have the SDL development library installed. " | 06:23 |
| karllenz | and it wont go any farther | 06:23 |
| norml_advocat2 | turtleofdoom which part is it? | 06:23 |
| nickrud | norml_advocat2: why kde messes up your system? no clue, really | 06:23 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, yep; open synaptic, look for libsdl-dev, or stuff like that | 06:23 |
| bluebanana | cwillu: can i uninstall the build-essential? | 06:24 |
| TurtleOfDoom | karllenz: what is the last line before it stops | 06:24 |
| SRN9 | what are you doing with tomboy? | 06:24 |
| norml_advocat2 | ever since i installed kde my computer will not hibernate anymore | 06:24 |
| norml_advocat2 | it just crashes | 06:24 |
| karllenz | running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) | 06:24 |
| cwillu | bluebanana, you'll need it for this for sure, it's not a bad thing to have installed anyway | 06:24 |
| TurtleOfDoom | norml_advocat2: basically gdk is waht you use when you log in graphically | 06:24 |
| norml_advocat2 | turtleofdoom is there a way to login using the terminal no GUI at all, and then run a command to open gnome? | 06:25 |

| nickrud | TurtleOfDoom: no, that's gdm. gdk is sort of a wrapper around gtk, which draws the widgets in your windows | 06:25 |

| norml_advocat2 | turtleofdoom have you forsaken me master? | 06:29 |
| TurtleOfDoom | norml_advocat2: yes, you can do that, I believe you have to change the "runlevel" but I'm not the best person to answer the question | 06:29 |
| norml_advocat2 | gotcha | 06:29 |
| norml_advocat2 | nickrud will know what to do | 06:30 |
| twiztr | I just set my ATi card to use the propriatary drivers, and it won't let me set any visual effects. Says something about composites. | 06:30 |

| twiztr | Risky: kill it with fire. | 06:30 |
| Risky | i tried every sd* they all say its not there | 06:30 |
| norml_advocat2 | nickrud do you know how to boot to just a plain old terminal, and then type a command to enter gnome | 06:30 |
| Risky | even though i just booted off the damn thing | 06:30 |
| Risky | burn it to cd i meant | 06:30 |

| norml_advocat2 | nickrud good call im gonna bookmark that but until then do you know how to boot to a terminal, and what command starts gnome? | 06:31 |

| AtomicSpark | raddy: there is only D and im guessing its not what you want. invalid operation means the command usage is wrong. | 06:34 |
| nickrud | norml_advocat2: turning off the login screen, and setting up startx . But to be truthful, I haven't done that in a couple of years, and am not sure I remember completely | 06:34 |
| norml_advocat2 | nickrud okey dokely then | 06:35 |
| norml_advocat2 | Is anyone in this room smarter than nickrud? | 06:35 |

| Supaplex | supershort: that FAQ is all over the net. ask google :) | 06:36 |
| norml_advocat2 | atomicspark do you know how to setup startx | 06:36 |
| norml_advocat2 | ? | 06:36 |
| msn | i meant new OS installation over the network is not able to find some packages | 06:36 |
| norml_advocat2 | Does anyone know how to setup startx? | 06:36 |
| AtomicSpark | raddy: according to the man file for du, -d doesnt exist. i am not sure where that guide got it. :\ maybe on other distros? | 06:37 |
| msn | raddy: what are you trying to do? | 06:37 |

| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: i assume you mean xserver. startx is the command to start it. :P | 06:40 |
| norml_advocat2 | atomicspark i want my computer to boot into the terminal no GUI | 06:40 |
| norml_advocat2 | then run the GUI | 06:41 |
| norml_advocat2 | using startx apparently | 06:41 |
| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: no. unfortunately, ubuntu doesnt use run levels. in other distros, you can change your run level to 3, and everything will be terminal only. you may beable to log out and change your session to terminal only. i am not sure. once gnome or kde is installed, it takes over. :P | 06:42 |
| TurtleOfDoom | norml_advocat2: well, "sudo apt-get remove gdm" will remove the graphical startup program from your computer, that will start it in a terminal, then you have to set it up to you can run "startx" and it will load into gnome | 06:42 |
| AtomicSpark | startx starts xserver/x11 not gnome :P but yes it would get you into gui | 06:43 |
| norml_advocat2 | turtleofdoom so if i remove gdm i can still run gnome? mr. spark says not | 06:43 |
| TurtleOfDoom | AtomicSpark: and the x-server will run gnome if you set it up correctly, you're arguing semantics | 06:44 |
| supershort | how do i remove apps? | 06:44 |
| supershort | without package manager | 06:44 |
| AtomicSpark | TurtleOfDoom: yes i am. :P dont want the boy confused. if he removes gnome it will be gone. no more. | 06:44 |
| norml_advocat2 | turtleofdoom does that slowdown the desktop alot? | 06:44 |
| ste-foy | thank you for your help AtomicSpark | 06:45 |
| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: what are you trying to do? boot into terminal only then have the option to switch to gui? | 06:45 |

| bluefoxx | ok, so im trying to make a shell script to open streamripper and automatically start ripping four streams, but i want it to open them in seperate tabs of gnome-terminal. what is the command for this? | 06:46 |
| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: haha. you may not beable to do that, because of how ubuntu doesnt use run levels (afaik) but let me check if you can log into terminal only. | 06:46 |
| * AtomicSpark will be right back | 06:46 | |
| norml_advocat2 | turtleofdoom what does atomicspark mean by levels? | 06:47 |
| TurtleOfDoom | norml_advocat2: on other distributions there are different "levels" you can start your computer in | 06:48 |
| norml_advocat2 | can you move through the levels without rebooting? | 06:48 |
| TurtleOfDoom | norml_advocat2: level x would start you at a console, level y would start you with a pretty GUI, to answer your question, I beleive so, but it has been several years, and as someone reminded me ubuntu doesn't do things that way | 06:49 |
| AtomicSpark | hmm that was what i was afraid of | 06:49 |
| AtomicSpark | you are right sir. ubuntu doesnt use run levels. | 06:49 |
| AtomicSpark | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel | 06:50 |
| amedx | try ubuntu+gnome+e17 it's fantastic | 06:50 |
| amedx | your name es opengeu | 06:50 |
| TurtleOfDoom | well it is possible, because my box using the server edition starts to a console | 06:50 |
| Rat409 | sudo gedit /etc/inittab>change 5 to 3; then either put exec gnome-session in your users /home/.xinitrc to use startx or do xinit /usr/bin/gnome-session | 06:50 |
| AtomicSpark | TurtleOfDoom: does it have gnome installed? | 06:51 |
| AtomicSpark | TurtleOfDoom: or xserver? | 06:51 |
| TurtleOfDoom | AtomicSpark: yes, but I've never actually tried running x on it | 06:51 |

| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: internet speak. ha. you need to learn ninja hacking skillz. but anyways. 1. its only supported on a few wireless cars, which you probably dont have. 2. to get it working on other cards is almost impossible sometimes requiring custom linux binaries. 3. only works on wep, which nobody should ever, ever use. | 07:20 |
| jink1 | some cdroms are picky | 07:21 |
| norml_advocat2 | atomicspark ok well its a start do you think it works with a broadcom 43xx? | 07:21 |
| jink1 | might be worn/old | 07:21 |
| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: no. | 07:21 |
| theo_ | I was thinking, we could turn the homeless into tires. So we can use them.. for our cars! | 07:22 |
| jak_ | lol theo | 07:22 |
| AtomicSpark | norml_advocat2: not even a slight hope of broadcom support. there is a link on there somewhere that says what is supported. mostly aeoros (sp) cards. | 07:22 |
| norml_advocat2 | gotcha | 07:22 |
| runemaste | what doesnt have broadcom support? | 07:22 |

| jink1 | Does anyone here use vmware? | 07:23 |

| jimlay | I have an ubuntu 32bit setup w/ encrypted root (setup with 7.10 upgraded to hardy) and I wanted to test try 64bit ubuntu. In the install of the 64bit ubuntu I told it that the encrypted partition was encrypted and tried to mount it. I carefully read everything to make sure it wasn't going to clobber anything. Eventually I got to a screen where I couldn't mount the partition w/o formatting it - even though I'd used the same partition. Anyway, | 07:23 |
| AtomicSpark | jink1: i used to use vmware when i was mostly on windows. | 07:23 |
| jimlay | Who should I talk to about this? Cause this is super not ok. | 07:23 |

| jink1 | Mine just stopped working. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem | 07:24 |
| AtomicSpark | jimlay: the whole point of the encryption is so nobody can mount it randomly. you'll have to unencrypt it somehow before using it. | 07:24 |
| jimlay | ) I had the strong impression I was performing a reversable operation - aka "trying to mount" | 07:24 |

| Tensop | that isnt top :) | 07:35 |
| Tensop | i want to >> the output to a .htm | 07:36 |
| jimlay | AtomicSpark: no. I told the setup utility (textmode - I don't know the name) to use the hda5 partion as a luks crypt device just like I had the first time (same partition) and when it asked for the key I gave it the same key. I feel I've narrowed down what happened - and I'm pretty sure that when I said "use this as an encrypted partition" it went ahead and ran luksFormat on the block device w/o notifying me that it was doing it. I assumed i | 07:36 |

| jink1 | miguelito: read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper | 07:52 |
| Tensop | perhaps just remove the \ from the wpa box you're trying to authenticate with ;) | 07:52 |

| JoshF | that means changing 25 pc's :P | 07:52 |
| ariyako | i got problem with network on ubuntu 7.10 | 07:52 |

| JoshF | i need it @ boot time | 07:53 |
| Tensop | ah hmm | 07:53 |
| JoshF | as it is a server | 07:53 |
| JoshF | networkmanager turns on at login time | 07:53 |
| Tensop | does the key HAVE to be generated on that server | 07:54 |
| JoshF | nope | 07:54 |

| Tensop | Linux is full of niggly shit like that JoshF - theres a way to do it... but i cant remember :) | 07:55 |
| JoshF | yeh i always encounter it when i get to \ | 07:55 |
| hiddensoul | Tensop, maybe if he used the HEX value for the key instead of the ascii value | 07:55 |

| ariyako | yeah | 08:22 |

| seraph | dgjones: but around that amount? | 09:01 |
| miguelito | s0ulstice, i downloaded 7.4 and burned it on a cd and the internet used to work for me. i use a linksys wusb54g wireless adapter. today i started up ubuntu 7.4 and it told me to update to 7.10 so i did. can you help me diagnose the problem? | 09:02 |
| s0ulstice__ | theo_, Sure thing.. from what I understand nvidia's driver architecture is is the same for all of their cards, so one driver is good for *almost* all their cards *save their go line maybe? So you can be assured that this driver is almost guaranteed to have sli support. The only concern is that since it is a linux driver, the architecture could be a little different | 09:02 |
| dgjones | seraph, yes, I'd sat 2-300mb, but I wouldn't like to gurantee it - This install was from an original alternate install cd when it was released, I don't know if the cd iso's are updated when updates are added, if they are it could be less | 09:03 |
| s0ulstice__ | miguelito, I haven't used my wireless card in forever, I don't recall what you can do to try and get it to work... I generally don't like the dist-upgrade process too well yet, I prefer a reinstall if possible.. | 09:03 |

| dgjones | harmental, if you go into your keyboard settings, I think System->Preferences->Keyboard, one of the tabs lets you pick the type of keyboard, it has defailt, dvorjak and one with dead keys + a 4th one i can't remember | 09:19 |
| karllenz | i know about installing drivers | 09:19 |
| dgjones | harmental, you'll need to restart X for it to work | 09:19 |
| karllenz | i mean i put the card in and turned on the pc and ubunut wouldnt boot anymore | 09:19 |
| PenguinBoy08 | not even in txt mode? | 09:20 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: if you had an nvidia card, and you switched to an ati card, you'll have to change the driver | 09:20 |
| harmental | dgjones...thx...ill try that.... | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | Did you try the stuff on the binary drivers howto karllenz? | 09:20 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: in xorg.conf (sorry) | 09:20 |
| karllenz | idk how to get to text mode | 09:20 |
| speeddemon8803 | !textmode > speeddemon8803 | 09:21 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: what card did you buy exactly? and how old is it (it being the model of card)? | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | heh, guess that wasnt the right command either, glad i did it on myself first ;) | 09:21 |
| erUSUL | karllenz: boot in recovery mode then try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' | 09:21 |
| karllenz | ok | 09:21 |
| karllenz | ill try that | 09:21 |
| speeddemon8803 | !recovery > karllenz | 09:21 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: if your card is too new, ubuntu won't be able to detect it | 09:22 |
| speeddemon8803 | if you dont know how, ubotu just private messaged you with it :) | 09:22 |
| Sinister | i cant find in the settings where you can set your monotor off after like 30 min of being idle anyone know where its at in kde | 09:22 |
| karllenz | ok booting into recovery mode | 09:22 |
| harmental | dgjones: the tabs are "Shotcut Schemes", "Command Shortcuts" and "Modify Keys"....i see no dvorjak | 09:22 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: what model is your card? | 09:23 |
| speeddemon8803 | karllenz, note that the bot said "alternative install cd"...hopefully thats the one your using? | 09:23 |
| karllenz | visiontek x1550 | 09:24 |
| karllenz | i used the alt cd yes | 09:24 |
| VSpike | should ffmpeg be able to read wma files? | 09:24 |
| VSpike | I can play them with amarok so I must have some wma codecs installed | 09:24 |
| speeddemon8803 | Good deal karllenz :) | 09:24 |
| karllenz | ok i ran the command | 09:25 |
| karllenz | dpkg | 09:25 |
| dgjones | harmental, have a look at this, maybe it'll explain it a bit clearer than I did, I'm not on ubuntu at the minute so I can't talk you through it http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy/TipsAndTricks#How_to_add_keyboard_layouts_for_other_languages - About 2/3rds of the way down is a heading " How to type extended characters" | 09:25 |
| karllenz | everything says o | 09:25 |
| karllenz | ok | 09:25 |
| harmental | dgjones: thx!! | 09:26 |
| karllenz | now im restarting | 09:26 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: it would appear your card is old enough to be supported by the drivers in Ubuntu | 09:27 |
| karllenz | i should not have to rescue the system its a fresh install | 09:27 |
| karllenz | lets see if i put my old nvidia card in and see if it boot | 09:28 |
| karllenz | i bet it will | 09:28 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: if Ubuntu is set to use the ATI driver, you won't get any love from that nvidia card :) | 09:28 |
| dgjones | harmental, on the keyboard screen, you should have a tab called "Layouts" that should let you change the keyboard layout | 09:29 |
| neil_d | I have found what looks like a bug with the python gtk.glade module, I generated a glade file with glade 3.4.0, using a 'gnome date' widget, I set it to not display the time widgets. But when I loaded it with python the time widgets where there. see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56709/ can someone confirm this please ? | 09:29 |
| karllenz | idk what to do then i get nothing from ati after a frsh install using the alt cd | 09:29 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: did your run the dpkg-reconfigure command listed above? | 09:29 |
| harmental | dgjones: i think i found it....however...Shouldnt i choose Layout : "France" fr....im using a french keyboard | 09:29 |
| s0ulstice__ | karllenz, you know you want to ditch the ati for nvidia.... | 09:30 |
| karllenz | es i did | 09:30 |
| dgjones | harmental, i would guess yes, but I'm not certain, I only ever use a uk style keyboard | 09:30 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: what video driver did you choose? | 09:30 |
| karllenz | i didnt chose any driver | 09:31 |
| karllenz | yet | 09:31 |
| karllenz | i never booted into the actualy desktop | 09:31 |
| karllenz | ok nvidia install still same problem | 09:31 |
| karllenz | ill try reinstalling | 09:31 |
| pusoicafe | guys i got problem: i hav a dual boot OS xp and ubuntu 7.10 but after i reinstalled xp it wont boot to xp is this the problem of boot loader of ubuntu? | 09:31 |
| karllenz | is it possible to use both cards with ubuntu at the same time | 09:32 |
| compwiz18 | pusoicafe: is GRUB still installed? | 09:32 |
| karllenz | cuz i have my tv connected using the ati card | 09:32 |
| harmental | dgjones: the deadkey is in Layout Variant? i have only have a "sundeadkey" option... | 09:32 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: I know nothing about graphics cards, but can you install both of them at the same time? | 09:32 |
| pusoicafe | compwiz18: ya but after the reinstallation of xp it wont boot to xp or i cannot find to choose to boot to xp | 09:33 |
| karllenz | ok loading live cd with nvida card installed and main monitor running from it | 09:33 |
| dgjones | harmental, when i was selecting, i just had "Internatinal with dead keys", I'm not sure what to suggest, maybe its because you're using a french keyboard thats bringing different options up | 09:34 |
| harmental | arrghhh | 09:34 |
| s0ulstice__ | karllenz, Im not positive, but I highly doubt you can use them both at the same time, the only possibility i can think of is having them installed at the same time, but not in use, and even that sounds questionable to me... even SLI requires very strict parameters to work properly | 09:34 |
| compwiz18 | pusoicafe: you'll probably want to reinstall grub, although that may not help | 09:34 |
| compwiz18 | !grub | pusoicafe | 09:34 |
| ubotu | pusoicafe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:34 |
| karllenz | wtf live cd boots with the nvidia card | 09:34 |
| harmental | dgjones: you saw that under "Keyboard Model"? | 09:35 |
| s0ulstice__ | karllenz, see nvidia = good ati = bad | 09:35 |
| pusoicafe | ubotu: gonna chek now | 09:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gonna chek now - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:35 |
| compwiz18 | pusoicafe: ubotu is the bot :) | 09:35 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, I think it is just a bootloader error | 09:35 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, what are the symptoms again | 09:35 |
| karllenz | stiil the only way i can connect my tv is through a port on my ati card | 09:35 |
| compwiz18 | s0ulstice__: thats not entirely true, my ati card works fine | 09:35 |
| dgjones | harmental, i can't remember which it was under, once the keyboard settings screen was up, I only had a couple of tabs & options to chose from | 09:36 |
| VSpike | how can i transcode wma to ogg? | 09:36 |
| s0ulstice__ | compwiz18, I know, but I am highly partial to nvidia because of my horrible luck with ati cards | 09:36 |
| Tyczek | I have question about Fglrx... The XV seems not work to me. The fullscreen doesn't scale movie at all and there are pixels | 09:36 |
| VSpike | And should k3b support wma? | 09:36 |
| karllenz | what i will try tho is reinstalling now using the nvidia card | 09:36 |
| karllenz | but still keeping the ati card installed on the pc | 09:37 |
| s0ulstice__ | compwiz18, not to mention nvidia gave us support long before ati did, before compiz wasn't able to work with ati | 09:37 |
| pusoicafe | soulstice_: i cannot see the wondows xp option in boot up | 09:37 |
| karllenz | then messing around with it once the system is installed | 09:37 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, what did you install first? | 09:37 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, did you install xp then ubuntu? | 09:37 |
| compwiz18 | s0ulstice__: I don't use compiz, so I guess that doesn't really apply to me, but for most intents, ati cards are supported fine (and compiz works now :) | 09:38 |
| pusoicafe | soulstice_: i did the dual boot xp first then ubuntu 7.10 then when everything is finished i go to xp and then wham i hav hal dll errors or something so i reinstalled xp then i got no xp to choose after reinstalling | 09:38 |
| s0ulstice__ | compwiz18, very true .. I have been damaged mostly by the all-in-wonder series cards years ago.. windows incompatibilities galore with those cards | 09:39 |
| compwiz18 | s0ulstice__: I've only used linux for ~3 years, so I have no idea about the situation before then | 09:40 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, but you are able to boot to linux though correct? | 09:40 |
| === doff_ is now known as doff | ||
| pusoicafe | soulstice_: ya but not to xp it hides maybe | 09:40 |
| s0ulstice__ | compwiz18, Right, well Im talking about windows & ati | 09:41 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, Ok, you just have to tell grub to update (which unfortunately means reinstalling it) | 09:41 |
| dik | loo | 09:41 |
| pusoicafe | soulstice_: do we hav guide for that reinstallation of grub? | 09:42 |
| compwiz18 | !grub | pusoicafe | 09:42 |
| ubotu | pusoicafe: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 09:42 |
| karllenz | do i have to have a swap partiotion for linux | 09:42 |
| s0ulstice__ | pusoicafe, Because when you reinstalled windows, the information changed that grub had.. although I am surprised this didn't cause a grub boot error | 09:42 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: how much ram do you have? | 09:42 |
| dik | hello does anyone know how to install a ai radeon hd 2900 xt on ubuntu as im stuck | 09:42 |
| karllenz | 2gigs | 09:42 |
| karllenz | sry 1gig | 09:43 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: you want a swap partition then | 09:43 |
| pusoicafe | soulstice_: k be back later | 09:43 |
| s0ulstice__ | karllenz, Im not sure if you MUST have it, but it is a good idea.. You can actually use thumb drives as a swap drive apparently | 09:43 |
| karllenz | ok well how do i install ubuntu now leaving room and the ability to install windows next to dual boot | 09:43 |
| s0ulstice__ | karllenz, I highly recommend installing windows first and making your partitions before you do that | 09:44 |
| compwiz18 | karllenz: you really should install windows first, makes it a lot easier | 09:44 |
| s0ulstice__ | karllenz, that is assuming you still want windows ;-p | 09:44 |
| karllenz | well i want my ati card to work no matter wat | 09:45 |
| karllenz | so i must use it | 09:45 |

| bashca | adrien, i need to use zte ac8700 mdsl usb modem with ubuntu ?? | 11:05 |
| bashca | !??? | 11:06 |
| bascule | bullgard4: it's language stuff | 11:06 |
| vircuser | hmm, bu there is no "Insert" menu item in the KDE control module | 11:06 |
| bascule | vircuser: in kcharselect | 11:07 |
| bullgard4 | bascule: Can you elaborate. | 11:07 |
| adrien | what does the command 'dmesg' tells you when the modem is plugged in ? | 11:07 |
| bob_1904 | (I'm assuming you're using OpenOffice.org word processor) | 11:07 |
| adrien | (in the terminal) | 11:07 |
| bashca | adrien, i got error 71 | 11:07 |
| bashca | but lsusb Bus 001 Device 021: ID 05c6:6000 Qualcomm, Inc. | 11:08 |
| bascule | bullgard4: actually I misread, I have no idea, looks like a back-up though | 11:08 |
| bullgard4 | hm | 11:08 |
| adrien | i see there are no drivers for this modem... | 11:08 |
| bashca | adrien, [ 8182.360000] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71 | 11:08 |
| bascule | bullgard4: open it ... | 11:08 |
| vircuser | so there is no "easy" way to type the euro character anywhere (be it terminal, config app etc.)? | 11:08 |
| lvlaTr1X | hello, im looking to change my os to ubuntu but i have some concern over application installation | 11:09 |
| lvlaTr1X | will my games which work for window, work on ubuntu? | 11:09 |
| bashca | adrien, ?? | 11:09 |
| lvlaTr1X | eg. COD4 , crysis? | 11:09 |
| adrien | yes? | 11:09 |
| adrien | bashca? | 11:09 |
| lvlaTr1X | is it even compatible to begin with? | 11:09 |
| bullgard4 | lvlaTr1X: As a rule they will not. | 11:09 |
| lapisdecor | vir, Alt Gr + E | 11:09 |
| vircuser | Cause I need a way to do this and then need to explain it to computer laymen with just a basic Ubuntu installation from the disk | 11:09 |
| dgjones | !wow | lvlaTr1X, some games will work under wine, there might be some with native linux installers, | 11:10 |
| ubotu | lvlaTr1X, some games will work under wine, there might be some with native linux installers,: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 11:10 |
| AliTarihi | Hi! Does anyone know about the problem of Nvidia Driver and Hibernate/Suspend? | 11:10 |
| lvlaTr1X | bullgard4: oh.. hmm... | 11:10 |
| vircuser | i think there is a unreal tournament 2k3 version for linux | 11:10 |
| praveenm_ | hi all, how to make a new ext3 partition rw? | 11:10 |
| dgjones | !wine | lvlaTr1X, you could have a look at the wine application database | 11:10 |
| ubotu | lvlaTr1X, you could have a look at the wine application database: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 11:10 |
| lvlaTr1X | oh.. hmm.. but what about other application for eg. msn messenger? | 11:11 |
| bashca | adrien, how can resolve driver matter ?? | 11:11 |
| lapisdecor | lvlaTr1X: If someone offered you a Mac, would you be worried about games? :D | 11:11 |
| lvlaTr1X | lapisdecor: YES.. LOL | 11:11 |
| adrien | bashca I am looking at an interesting page, I just cant find the info wait | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | i'm in the game industry, so ya, my life mostly revolve about game | 11:12 |
| lapisdecor | To play games I bought a Wii | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | i have a wii, xbox360 and ps3 | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | :X | 11:12 |
| vircuser | Matrix, there are ubuntu programs for programs like messengers | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | not trying to boast or any sort | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | hmm | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | cool.. | 11:12 |
| bashca | ok | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | becuz now im actually trying to build up a comp | 11:12 |
| vircuser | but MSN messenger might work with wine | 11:12 |
| lvlaTr1X | still deciding which OS to go with | 11:12 |
| nicc | Hey guys. I've got a problem, hopefully someone can help. I've got 4GB RAM on my laptop, but Ubuntu only sees 3GB. I've read up on it, and switched to the server kernel which has PAE enabled, and it sees all 4GB now. Problem is that server kernel has no support for NVIDIA, and Im guessing I'll hit other compatibility problems later, so I want to recompile a vanilla kernel with PAE enabled. My question: where can I get specific source for cur | 11:12 |
| vircuser | try to get a cheap harddisk, replace it and just test ubuntu | 11:13 |
| bascule | kernel.org | 11:13 |
| lapisdecor | lvlaTr1X: anyway you have lots of games (free games) in linux, so why not try some? they are great | 11:13 |
| vircuser | you can actually test many things witout installing anything | 11:13 |
| vircuser | just boot from the CD | 11:13 |
| lapisdecor | and they are free | 11:13 |
| vircuser | the big game companies make games mostly for windows though.. | 11:14 |
| vircuser | for those you need to hope that wine can handle it | 11:14 |
| bob_1904 | you could use cedega - but will actually cost you money | 11:14 |
| wild_oscar | could anyone indicate me if there is a repository with the latest Openoffice version? | 11:14 |
| vircuser | many people do a double boot: use windows for games and ubuntu for "serious stuff" ;) | 11:15 |
| adrien | bashca, check this :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665332 | 11:15 |
| adrien | it might help you | 11:15 |
| bob_1904 | cedega is based on the wine engine but is enhanced for 3D gaming - but dual booting makes more sense | 11:15 |
| bashca | adrien, thanks i will | 11:16 |
| adrien | bashca , the interesting part is in the last POST | 11:17 |
| vircuser | I'd like to introduce Ubuntu to some people in europe - but if they ask "..and how do I type the Euro character?" i need a simple explanation, otherwise they might turn into "OS too complicated for me" mode ;) | 11:17 |
| AliTarihi | Well... Does anyone know about the problem of Nvidia Driver and Hibernate/Suspend? | 11:18 |
| adrien | hopefully you manage, the howto is a bit lousy for beginners though | 11:18 |
| bashca | ok | 11:19 |
| vircuser | anyone ever tried to use MSIE in Ubuntu? It seems some pages require it (ActiveX, JScript et al) | 11:19 |
| wild_oscar | is there a repository for gutsy for Openoffice 2.3.1? | 11:20 |
| wild_oscar | or the latest version of openoffice | 11:20 |
| kaushal | hi | 11:20 |
| kaushal | I am installing apache2-src through synaptic | 11:21 |
| dgjones | !ies4linux | vircuser | 11:21 |
| ubotu | vircuser: ies4linux is a script that quickly and effortlessly helps you install 3 versions of IE in Wine.

| tdawgedogg | hey guys im new to ubuntu or linux all together....are the respitories updated with all of the newest updates for programs or does it take a while sometimes? | 11:21 |
| bob_1904 | there is a default one already. What you can do is go to the OpenOffice website and download+extract a tarball | 11:21 |
| kaushal | whats the location of apache2-src in ubuntu 7.04 | 11:22 |
| ichbinesderelch | takes some time tdawgedogg | 11:22 |
| tdawgedogg | really like how long? | 11:22 |
| bob_1904 | It's the most recent stable and supported editions you get by default - you have to enable them in your settings | 11:22 |
| kaushal | is it /usr/share/doc/apache2-src | 11:22 |
| ichbinesderelch | time it needs to make packages and all | 11:22 |
| ichbinesderelch | but you should go with farely new packages | 11:22 |
| dgjones | tdawgedogg, the repositories for each version are updated for security/bug fixes, but not just for the latest versions, they get added to the 6 monthly version upgrades | 11:22 |
| bob_1904 | For those of you who are interested in more proprietary software, Medibuntu is a great place to go | 11:23 |
| vircuser | dawg, any program (the stable version of it) will get updated once the developers update it | 11:25 |
| vircuser | so sometimes you'll find update notifications several days in a row | 11:25 |
| wild_oscar | I found Openoffice 2.3.1 here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/openoffice.org-base | 11:25 |
| tdawgedogg | ok woot i dont care about beta versions...i want all the stable versions of stuff | 11:25 |
| wild_oscar | can I somehow add that directory to my package management and update it? | 11:26 |
| vircuser | can't you get openoffice trough the normal repositories? | 11:26 |
| vircuser | i think i got it winth apt-get | 11:26 |
| tdawgedogg | so u know at the top right where it shows system updates...every program I have in ubuntu is updated via system updates | 11:26 |
| tdawgedogg | and it will always check my programs or how does that work | 11:26 |
| vircuser | yes, every prog you have installed | 11:26 |
| tdawgedogg | thats awesome | 11:26 |
| vircuser | yea ;) | 11:27 |
| bob_1904 | (assuming you've installed it via the 'add/remove apps' panel | 11:27 |
| bob_1904 | or by sudo apt-get install (app) | 11:27 |
| tdawgedogg | like in windows I dont even know when programs have updates...its nice having all programs and updates in one place | 11:27 |
| wild_oscar | vircuser: not version 2.3.1 | 11:27 |
| bob_1904 | yep | 11:27 |
| N4cht | tdawgedogg, not only that.. but when a new version of ubuntu is available, you can use the update manager to upgrade your entire system to the new version. | 11:27 |
| vircuser | wild, ah ok.. | 11:27 |
| tdawgedogg | ive just been downloading using that synaptic package manger is that the right way? | 11:27 |
| bob_1904 | sudo apt-get upgrade tends to do the job | 11:28 |
| Trashlord | tdawgedogg, I wouldn't say "right way", I'd call it the "preferred way" | 11:28 |
| elektronik123 | witam | 11:28 |
| vircuser | well, i have my windows updates set, so they tell me which updates get installed | 11:28 |
| bob_1904 | or sudo apt-get updates then sudo apt-get install updates | 11:29 |
| elektronik123 | czy to oficjalny kanal pomocy ubuntu ? | 11:29 |
| vircuser | so for me it's like in Ubuntu (for the security fixes) | 11:29 |
| N4cht | tdawgedogg, that's the best way to install new packages, yes. as for upgrading already installed packages, it's best to let the update managed do the trick if you're a more GUI heavy user, otherwise apt-get upgrade works the same way. | 11:29 |
| Trashlord | It depends how you like it, I personally use either apt-get, or download packages and then sudo dpkg -i | 11:29 |
| bulbulred | Hi, i have just installed a zabbix server, agent and frontend. Installaion worked fine.

| radone | please haw can I install ubuntu on HDD using command line? | 11:29 |
| dgjones | !alternate | radone | 11:30 |
| ubotu | radone: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 11:30 |
| elektronik123 | i can-t join to #ubuntu-pl | 11:30 |
| N4cht | radone, download a copy of the non-graphical ubuntu installer iso (known as alternate installer) | 11:30 |
| vircuser | i usually use "apt-get install xxxx" | 11:30 |
| vircuser | automitically install xxxx | 11:30 |
| vircuser | sometimes I'm not even sure about the name of xxxx | 11:30 |
| elektronik123 | i can`t join to #ubuntu-pl | 11:31 |
| vircuser | and it will give me suggestions sometimes | 11:31 |
| dgjones | elektronik123, type "join #ubuntu-pl" without the "'s, that should take you to #ubuntu-pl | 11:31 |
| dgjones | elektronik123, sorry "/join #ubuntu-pl" | 11:31 |

| tdawgedogg | hey in this damn xchat irc program how do i get it to not show when ppl leave and come into the room | 11:32 |
| Frogzoo | Trashlord: you can't - you'll need to backup your data & reformat as ext3 | 11:32 |
| tdawgedogg | its anoying | 11:32 |
| boubbin | how to know if "Integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 Graphics" is compatible with linux (ubuntu) ? | 11:32 |
| radone | dgjones: sorry I was not exact - I need ubuntu desktop, however graphics does not work from live distro. I am not sure if I understand well that alterante is only textual version of ubuntu | 11:32 |
| AppleHein | if I have shell only ubuntu. which command do I need to install gnome with apt-get fully? internet connection is established | 11:33 |
| elektronik123 | i really con`t join on this channel | 11:33 |
| Trashlord | oh | 11:33 |
| ichbinesderelch | tdawgedogg: just right click on the channel name on the left and disable join messages | 11:33 |
| compwiz18 | elektronik123: we can't help you here, but you can try #ubuntu-ops or something | 11:33 |
| Trashlord | I can do that easily then, thanks Frogzoo | 11:33 |
| dgjones | radone, the alternate cd installs a full graphical version, it just uses the command line to install | 11:33 |
| radone | dgjones: tahnks | 11:33 |
| vircuser | boubbin, if you have it already, just pop in the CD to test it | 11:34 |
| bulbulred | zabbix knowledge anyone (sorry for nagging about it) | 11:34 |

| nios | i wonder why i cant play mp3s with xmms over my samba share, does anyone know why? | 11:34 |
| ichbinesderelch | apt-get install gnome? :P | 11:34 |
| compwiz18 | AppleHein: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 11:35 |
| AppleHein | thanks compwiz | 11:35 |
| vircuser | yea, don't know why they don't just call it gnome :( | 11:35 |
| tdawgedogg | it doesnt give me that option when i right click on #ubantu...im using xchat gnome i think | 11:35 |
| dakira | hey.. how can i generate a file with dummy (or random) data? i.e. something like reading exactly 100MB from /dev/random into a file.. | 11:35 |
| compwiz18 | ubuntu-desktop contains more then just gnome | 11:35 |
| vircuser | but you can at least "apt-get install kde" ;) | 11:35 |
| white_eagle | if anyone in here needs direct rendering with ati | 11:36 |
| bob_1904 | you could just install 'gnome-desktop', but then you'd just get the generic gnome desktop - you'd miss the ubuntu parts (as compwiz18 said) | 11:36 |
| white_eagle | see this page http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589637 | 11:36 |
| white_eagle | ;) | 11:36 |
| === jaimet is now known as help | ||
| bob_1904 | yes? | 11:36 |
| compwiz18 | dakira: use dd if=/dev/urandom of=filename bs=10 count=10000 or something similar (I have no idea how much data you'll get with the command, my guess would be about 100kb) | 11:36 |
| bob_1904 | thanks! | 11:36 |
| === help is now known as jaimet | ||
| white_eagle | bob_1904, to me? | 11:37 |
| white_eagle | or... | 11:37 |
| vircuser | yea for kde you'd need to "apt-get install kubuntu" i think to get the ubuntu features | 11:37 |
| irony9999 | ciao a tutti e ben ritrovati | 11:37 |
| dgjones | tdawgedogg, you might be better with xchat, rather than xchat-gnome, they're slightly different versions, xchat seems to have more options | 11:37 |
| dakira | compwiz18.. great, thx.. that was what i was looking for! | 11:37 |
| irony9999 | salve a tutti..... | 11:37 |
| bob_1904 | yeah, that was to you white_eagle! | 11:37 |
| irony9999 | e' italiano questo irc?? | 11:37 |
| white_eagle | !it | 11:37 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 11:38 |
| compwiz18 | dakira: no problem, but you'll have to figure out how to get 100mb :D | 11:38 |
| tdawgedogg | dgjones:ok thanks....how do I uninstall this and get normal xchat? | 11:38 |
| compwiz18 | tdawgedogg: open the package manager and find "xchat" and remove "xchat-gnome" | 11:38 |
| white_eagle | bob_1904, you'll have to erase the fglrx drivers first | 11:38 |
| tdawgedogg | dgjones I didnt see a normal xchat package | 11:38 |
| dgjones | tdawgedogg, what version of ubuntu are you using? | 11:38 |
| compwiz18 | tdawgedogg: it's not in the normal repos, its in universe or something | 11:39 |
| rilo | Soo, how can I enter extended ASCII given default keyboard settings for a US 105-key generic keyboard? It's actually a laptop keyboard and I would have to use Fn to simulate the keypad | 11:39 |
| bob_1904 | ok that's fine - I hadn't installed any ATI drivers as yet | 11:39 |
| tdawgedogg | um gutsy? lol i dunno...I just downloaded it and installed it today | 11:39 |
| === jaimet is now known as jdt | ||
| compwiz18 | !universe | tdawgedogg | 11:39 |
| ubotu | tdawgedogg: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories | 11:39 |
| tdawgedogg | ok thanks | 11:40 |
| compwiz18 | you'll get a lot more packages with universe enabled | 11:40 |
| === jdt is now known as jaimet | ||
| feysalus | Hi | 11:40 |
| dgjones | tdawgedogg, it should be there then, as compwiz18 suggests make sure you're universe repo is enabled and you'd updated after enabling it, then seach again | 11:40 |
| tdawgedogg | so If im already downloading something using the synaptic package manager I have to wait until its done before I can do anything else | 11:40 |
| compwiz18 | yeah, xchat is in the networking section of universe | 11:41 |
| dgjones | tdawgedogg, best to wait till its finished, you'd probably get an error message saying that files are in use or locked | 11:41 |
| feysalus | I've been reading through some sites, and I've seen some linux user's systems hacked and their bash shell histories, files, db's etc. accessible to the intruder - so how much more secure is linux than windows? | 11:41 |
| compwiz18 | and tdawgedogg, yes, you have to wait :( | 11:41 |
| compwiz18 | feysalus: are you running any network services? | 11:41 |
| feysalus | nope | 11:42 |
| tdawgedogg | OK THANKS GUYZ...this room is very helpful! | 11:42 |
| compwiz18 | feysalus: then far more secure then windows :) | 11:42 |
| white_eagle | feysalus: linux is far more secure than windows | 11:42 |
| vircuser | feysal - it more secure, but the security of every system depends hugely on the users of that system | 11:42 |
| compwiz18 | if you start running ssh/telnet/apache/php/etc you can start getting issues, but again, it all depends on the configuration of said applications | 11:42 |
| white_eagle | (didn't I read that somewhere?) :D | 11:42 |
| vircuser | if they have weak password - no security can protect them | 11:42 |
| feysalus | oh ok | 11:42 |
| tdawgedogg | so what is a better media player application for encoder and decoder stuff as far as playing HD mkv files and stuff....vlc or mplayer? | 11:43 |
| Eckos | i get this: uclibc-toolchain: Depends: g++-4.1 (= 4.1.2-12ubuntu1) but 4.1.2-16ubuntu2 is to be installed | 11:43 |
| bob_1904 | mplayer - head to Medibuntu to get sundry extra codecs and get a repository for the latest version! | 11:43 |

| vircuser | what bittorrent software are you guys using for ubuntu? | 11:46 |
| bashca | how can install new kernel please | 11:47 |
| Slart | vircuser: azureus | 11:47 |
| vircuser | azureus 3? | 11:47 |
| dakira | vircuser: azureus is the only one that really works | 11:47 |
| Slart | bashca: first.. why do you want to install a new kernel? | 11:47 |
| vircuser | i think bittyrant is based off Azureus 2.5 | 11:47 |
| Slart | dakira: naahh... there's deluge, ktorrent, rtorrent etc | 11:47 |
| dakira | vircuser: i myself use utorrent with wine | 11:47 |
| vircuser | Azureus 3 isn't GPL afaik | 11:47 |
| bashca | Slart, i can't use zte AC8700 mdsl usb modem | 11:47 |
| dakira | Slart: ktorrent and rtorrent are nice.. but i found lots of bugs in deluge which make it unusable.. at least for me | 11:48 |
| vircuser | so which is the "best" ;) | 11:48 |
| * bashca using Gusty with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic | 11:48 | |
| Slart | !best | 11:48 |
| ubotu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 11:48 |
| vircuser | in terms of features | 11:48 |
| Slart | vircuser: azureus is hard to beat when it comes to features.. but it's also a beast to run.. | 11:48 |
| vircuser | i've been using Azureus on windows (my system can handle the bloat) | 11:49 |
| Slart | bashca: and you can't use some kind of module? you need a new kernel for that to work? | 11:49 |
| vircuser | so Azureus v3 right now? | 11:49 |
| Slart | I run 3.something.. works nicely for me | 11:49 |
| bengee_ | can anyone tell me how to set the directory of g++ (for geany)? | 11:49 |
| bashca | Slart, can you help me to add module for using mdsl usb modem | 11:50 |
| vircuser | I tried bittyrant because I don't like the non-GPLishness of the new Azureus | 11:50 |
| === gastonb is now known as gastonborys | ||
| SpacePilot | Been trying to find what driver I should use for a X1900XTX, but I can't find a clear answer? | 11:50 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about us - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:58 |
| vircuser | but to be honest, the adept package manager that comes with kubuntu is better | 11:58 |
| vircuser | it's even got a nice little chkeck mark to display only install packages etc. | 11:58 |
| georgepumpi | will someone help me to install graphic drivers for nVidia? | 11:58 |

| SleepingSloth | what decent alternatives are there to evolution? | 11:59 |
| DjViper | georgepumpi: system - administration - restricted drivers manager | 11:59 |
| vircuser | you can completely remove if you like | 11:59 |
| DjViper | SleepingSloth: thunderbird and gmail | 11:59 |
| music`freak | I need help with my display config | 12:00 |
| vircuser | other programs won't be affected | 12:00 |
| Slart | tdawgedogg: complete removal removes config files etc too.. removal only removes the binaries | 12:00 |
| tdawgedogg | ok thanks a lot! | 12:00 |
| vircuser | and if you think you did something wrong, you can simply install it again ;) | 12:00 |

| Slart | SleepingSloth: I use thunderbird because I can use that on a windows machine if I have to as well... I don't think evolution is available on windows | 12:03 |
| Slart | SleepingSloth: evolution has the calendar stuff better integrated than thunderbird.. sure there is the lightning/sunbird thingy but it seems bolted on and hasn't really moved development-wise in a long time | 12:04 |
| howdoudo | hi. How do I get what version of ubuntu I am running in a terminal | 12:04 |
| Slart | howdoudo: lsb_release -a | 12:04 |
| faileas | Slart: actually there's a native windows evolution build. it sucks tho ;p | 12:05 |
| howdoudo | thankxs | 12:05 |
| Slart | howdoudo: or kernel version with "uname -a" | 12:05 |
| SleepingSloth | Slart, thanks - i'm not fussed about the calendar functions | 12:05 |
| Slart | faileas: hehe.. I almost said "seems like an accurate port then".. almost.. =) | 12:05 |
| SleepingSloth | Slart, so i think i may go with tbird | 12:05 |
| vircuser | iirc there is an evolution port for win, but it's slow and unstable | 12:05 |

| tdawgedogg | do i type that in terminal or something | 12:19 |
| caligarn1037 | tdawgedogg: or you can just grab autmoatix...or even better...just download vlc media player...it should have all the necessaries | 12:19 |
| caligarn1037 | *automatix2 | 12:19 |
| compwiz18 | !automatix | 12:19 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 12:19 |
| tdawgedogg | is vlc media player better than mplayer though...I want the best for playing HD mkv files and ts files | 12:19 |
| caligarn1037 | compwiz18: interesting | 12:20 |
| dgjones | tdawgedogg, it prompts the channel bot to give you infor about codecs, have a look at the link that ubotu has just put in the channel and follow the links, that will explain what the best thing to do is | 12:20 |
| vircuser | !ubuntu | 12:20 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 12:20 |
| compwiz18 | caligarn1037: yeah - automatix can screw some stuff up sometimes | 12:20 |
| caligarn1037 | compwiz18: i guess it's best to go with vlc ten | 12:20 |
| compwiz18 | IIRC, it doesn't use the package manager, which defeats the point of having a package manager | 12:20 |
| caligarn1037 | then* | 12:20 |
| tdawgedogg | what does !codecs mean? | 12:20 |

| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: that is what mine has and may give you a clue.. gateway is your router IP and generally if you're 192.168.xxx.xxx then the netmask I have is correct | 12:25 |

| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: netmask? it's the subnet mask | 12:26 |

| cyphase | Is there a way to only update one repository with apt, instead of all of them? | 12:37 |
| r3m0t | meekolope: enough space to store the whole thing. what I want is, e.g., can I run ntfsclone on OS X to change the format of the image, can I run ntfsclone on the MBP running a Live CD which writes to the HFS+ partition... or what? | 12:37 |

| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: what do I need to place there then? in network? | 12:37 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: nothing, get rid of that line | 12:37 |
| tdawgedogg | oh good call | 12:37 |
| NthDegree | you don't need a "network" line for it to work | 12:37 |
| Trae | What's a way to make sure I don't have any kde stuff on my ubuntu system. Every since I installed the kde desktop my machine has been running slow as poop. I thought I removed some of it... but I think some things still linger | 12:37 |
| Trae | stuff like kthread and kblockd are running in top | 12:38 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: THIS one? auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.9 (box static IP) netmask 255.255.255.0 (subnet) gateway 192.168.1.2 (router ip) | 12:38 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: yep :) | 12:38 |
| NthDegree | try that | 12:38 |
| meekolope | r3m0t: im not sure about that, if it were a matter of just figuring out a transfer I would have some ideas | 12:38 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: I will try it right now.. thanks.. I will update you if I got it to run.. | 12:38 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: once you've saved that file.. do an ifup eth0 | 12:39 |
| wers | I already installed the murrine engine but the murrine themes still don't display well. they still look like mist. any suggestion? :) | 12:39 |
| NthDegree | then ping google.com | 12:39 |
| levander | r3m0t: I found the share in Places -> Network. Now, where do I click to mount it? | 12:39 |
| r3m0t | right-click I believe | 12:39 |
| levander | r3m0t: It has to be a permanent mount. It's a mythtv directory I want to share. | 12:39 |
| levander | r3m0t: right click -> Make a Link gives me a permission error. | 12:39 |
| swim_love | hi all: I have a single hard disk, without any partitions and I do have quite a amount of data on it, Can someone tell me how I can install ubuntu on this windows machine without loosing any of my windows data | 12:41 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm..if you have windows data on it.. you do have a partition. | 12:42 |
| faileas | swim_love: do you want to repartition it? | 12:42 |
| cef | anyone know why my alsa audio is all crackly? does it on 2 machines (one gutsy, one feisty). Pure OSS audio is fine. using aoss (from alsa-oss) is crackly. Using direct alsa is crackly. No shared interrupts (I checked). | 12:42 |
| levander | swim_love: YOu do have a partition. YOu have a single large partition taking the entire disk. | 12:42 |
| deniz__ | i used devede to burn perfectly working video files to dvd and there is no sound!!! | 12:42 |
| Dr_willis | Gparted can resize windows partitions - freeing up some unallocated space at the end of the drive.. You can then install linux to. | 12:42 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: got this message: Ignoring unknown interface etho=etho. | 12:42 |
| deniz__ | i have a skool project due today and im alredy late to skool! | 12:42 |
| JonathanD | backup the drive first. | 12:42 |
| levander | swim_love: You need to resize that partition so that there's enough room at the end for a minimum of one partition for Linux. | 12:42 |
| JonathanD | I repeat, swim_love, backup the drive first. | 12:42 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: try eth0 not etho | 12:43 |
| swim_love | faileas, I don't mind repartitioning it, but I want to be very sure that I don't loose any data on it | 12:43 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: number not letter | 12:43 |
| JonathanD | swim_love: then backup the drive first. | 12:43 |
| JonathanD | :P | 12:43 |
| Slart | Dr_willis, levander: actually you *can* put data on a drive without a partition.. but you really have to work to make it happen.. and I'm not sure you can do it from windows =) | 12:43 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: got this ifup: interface eth0 already configured | 12:43 |
| Dr_willis | swim_love, hard drives coulddie at any time.. if the data in imporntant then BACK IT UP. do it now.. do it anyway even if you are not installing anything. :) | 12:43 |
| jimmygoon | I need something I can specify at boot off the live disc to force ubuntu to mount my ntsc drive in my PC as READ ONLY... I'm encountering some weird HD issues and I want to backup some of my data | 12:43 |
| swim_love | levander, sure I can resize the partition: do you know of any freewares that can do this job | 12:43 |
| jimmygoon | but I can't have it written to | 12:43 |
| rilo | Soo, how can I enter extended ASCII given default keyboard settings for a US 105-key generic keyboard? It's actually a laptop keyboard and I would have to use Fn to simulate the keypad | 12:43 |
| faileas | swim_love: if your just experimenting, take a look at wubi, it installs linux in images inside your windows drive, and you can always repartition,and export it to a 'real' partition later | 12:43 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: ifdown eth0 && ifup eth0 | 12:43 |
| Slart | swim_love: if you want to be really really sure.. buy a new drive and put ubuntu on it.. | 12:43 |
| NthDegree | may need to be sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 | 12:44 |
| Dr_willis | swim_love, the gparted tool on many live cd's can do it.. and the ubuntu installer can autmaticially do it i belive. | 12:44 |
| NthDegree | (depends on if you're root or not) | 12:44 |
| levander | swim_love: I've never done it myself. It's possible that the Ubuntu install process off the Live CD will let you resize. But, I don't remember... | 12:44 |
| JonathanD | swim_love: but you should still.... backup the drive first. | 12:44 |
| swim_love | Dr_willis, ok so if thats the case then I could simplyuse the ubuntu installer itself and so what option do I seelect during the install time | 12:44 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: after executing that command what will happen? | 12:45 |
| swim_love | JonathanD, ya thats fine | 12:45 |
| JonathanD | :p | 12:45 |
| jafa | just been hit by a kernel bug in .22 (Gutsy) that results in data corruption. The cifs client returns partial files from a samba share when the samba server is under high load. It looks like RedHat fixed the bug in the .23 kernel. What is the process for getting the fix into the Gutsy kernel? | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | swim_love, no idea. i always do it manually with a gparted live cd. Read the Ubuntu installer docs would be a good idea. | 12:45 |
| Pici | !bug | jafa | 12:45 |
| ubotu | jafa: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 12:45 |
| JonathanD | swim_love: I don't mean to be repetative ;) but it's an oft-ignored thing... ignored, that is, until they come back here and scream "I lost all my data!!" | 12:45 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: it reconfigures eth0 to the new settings | 12:45 |
| Dr_willis | I belive the installer has a 'resize and use free space' option | 12:45 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: after that see if ping google.com works | 12:45 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: I executed it already and it gives me the messages DONE | 12:46 |
| swim_love | yes JonathanD, I really understand what you mentioned: and I think thats very important too | 12:46 |
| swim_love | Dr_willis, ok, I will try that | 12:46 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: okay try ping google.com | 12:46 |
| NthDegree | see what happens | 12:46 |

| Dr_willis | SpacePilot, rest could be rounding error. :) | 12:50 |

| Dr_willis | Frogzoo, I dont worry about it. :) and yes i do set it to 1% - but i also have backups of my.. err.. vacation videos.. | 12:52 |

| NthDegree | 192.168.1.1 being your router IP | 13:12 |

| kaushal | when i run find / -name "apache2-src" -print | 13:13 |

| cicero_b | do i have to kill my xterm | 13:25 |
| calgot | cicero_b, just type 'bg' | 13:25 |
| Dr_willis | cicero_b, use the bg command | 13:25 |
| === Guest995 is now known as skunkworks | ||
| toblerone | pardon me, but why does a mac user wants to use ubuntu? im not saying that dont use ubuntu, its kinda weird with OSX is also nice and stable :) | 13:25 |
| Laney_Family | hello everyone | 13:25 |
| Dr_willis | google for bash job controll to learn more. :) | 13:25 |
| music`freak | many times i'm unable to login to my desktop from the main screen | 13:25 |
| cicero_b | bg job number, or just bg | 13:25 |
| music`freak | all i get is a blank screen | 13:25 |
| Dr_willis | toblerone, i disagree with the nice and stable part. :) | 13:26 |
| music`freak | and some times it works fine | 13:26 |
| music`freak | so its kinda frustrating | 13:26 |
| Laney_Family | i have a couple more dumb Q for you guys, | 13:26 |
| CyaNox | Heya anybody experience in setting up an conceptronic usb wireless thingy. Its afaik a RaLink rt2570 one. | 13:26 |
| arekkusu | calgot: I don't have much idea for your problem... remapping the keyboard maybe but you shouldn't have to do that | 13:27 |
| tickler | hi | 13:27 |
| toblerone | ok Dr_willis, i assume your another ubuntu zealot :P | 13:27 |
| music`freak | How do i know if i have the right display driver installed toblerone? | 13:27 |
| tickler | ubuntu is tha bomb | 13:27 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: I have domain registered. M using zoneedit.com to point my domain nameservers to my static ip. | 13:27 |
| Laney_Family | anyone know how to setup remote desktop on ubuntu 7.10 | 13:27 |
| Dr_willis | toblerone, more of a person thats watched/used/been #$&@&@& by apple too many times in the years... | 13:27 |
| calgot | Seems the problem really is that my AltGr is Super_R... silly international keyboards, right | 13:27 |
| Dr_willis | toblerone, and you dont want to get me started on this discussion. :) | 13:28 |
| toblerone | hahaha | 13:28 |
| toblerone | not really | 13:28 |
| toblerone | im neutral :) | 13:28 |
| music`freak | ?? | 13:28 |
| Dr_willis | in short they go 'we are the best.. we just dont want to actually sell a lotof things.. that would hurt our elite image' :) | 13:28 |
| tickler | ubuntu is great because of ease of use and simplicity | 13:28 |
| toblerone | hehehehe | 13:28 |
| toblerone | ok | 13:28 |
| toblerone | this is nicier.. linux talk | 13:28 |
| toblerone | :P | 13:28 |
| zaggy-nl | now if only my xfi extremegamer soundcard was supported, I'd use it | 13:29 |
| * zaggy-nl shakes fist at creative | 13:29 | |
| faileas | Laney_Family: specifically RDP or just any form of remote desktop? | 13:29 |
| music`freak | i wish i'd feel the same way | 13:29 |
| Laney_Family | RDP | 13:29 |
| faileas | then i have no idea | 13:29 |
| Laney_Family | i ahve enabled it in the system menu | 13:29 |
| tickler | I have ubuntu works fineon my acer laptop and it | 13:29 |
| cliebow | toblerone, you can always start your own channel when you find someone you want to converse with.. | 13:29 |
| music`freak | is there any channal where i can get my display related queries answered? | 13:30 |
| Laney_Family | when i try from windows with RDP via IP its a nogo | 13:30 |
| tickler | my wireless works great | 13:30 |
| faileas | ahh | 13:30 |
| * faileas thinks its a RDP client not a server isn't it? | 13:30 | |
| tickler | only thing is i can't get my acer orbi cam working because it uses bison driver | 13:30 |
| faileas | i might be wrong, i usually go for freenx for remoting | 13:30 |
| Laney_Family | freenx? | 13:31 |
| calgot | well back to os-x then, hmm | 13:31 |
| music`freak | prince_jammys: u around mate? | 13:31 |
| Colossus73 | join #ubuntu-devel | 13:32 |
| music`freak | bah | 13:32 |
| Laney_Family | any other ideas? | 13:32 |
| AliTarihi | Has anyone installed Looking Glass? | 13:33 |
| prince_jammys | music`freak: yeag | 13:33 |
| prince_jammys | h | 13:33 |
| AliTarihi | Looking Glass* | 13:33 |
| faileas | !freenx | Laney_Family | 13:33 |
| ubotu | Laney_Family: FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX | 13:33 |
| cicero_b | hey, when i am in a 'more' window, how i do search (or go the top) | 13:33 |
| === zorce_ is now known as zorce-laptop | ||
| music`freak | prince_jammys: i need help with configuring my display | 13:33 |
| prince_jammys | music`freak: mmm this is something i'm not very good at, but what's the problem | 13:33 |
| faileas | Laney_Family: i seem to think it does RDP as well | 13:33 |
| AliTarihi | any idea? | 13:34 |
| music`freak | having trouble with my display | 13:34 |
| Laney_Family | so... i install it on both my vista rig and ubuntu? or just ubuntu | 13:34 |
| music`freak | many a times when i log in from the main screen i end up with a blank screen | 13:35 |
| ridnowan | Any 1 know how to install kde from kubuntu cd | 13:35 |
| music`freak | & end up doing a hard reboot | 13:35 |
| music`freak | even ctr+alt+backspace doesn't work | 13:35 |
| faileas | Laney_Family: one moment, i'll check. you can install the server on ubuntu, and the client runs on windows (and does both RDP and nx) | 13:35 |
| cicero_b | hey, anyone know how to search when using the 'more' command | 13:35 |
| zaggy-nl | cicero_b, uh, how do you mean search? | 13:35 |
| cliebow | music`freak, and i suppose youve donedpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:35 |
| faileas | windows RDP server to linux client,no idea | 13:35 |
| cicero_b | zaggy-nl: say i want to find a term in a man-page . . . | 13:36 |
| zaggy-nl | cicero_b, it's just a screen by screen split up of the output as far as I know | 13:36 |
| music`freak | yeah i tried that after reading something from a forum | 13:36 |
| cicero_b | yeah -- i remember before hitting 's' or something that helped me search | 13:36 |
| cicero_b | also, remember i could scroll to the top | 13:36 |
| zaggy-nl | I don't think man and more have to do with each other | 13:37 |
| prince_jammys | cicero_b: i think / | 13:37 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: you are running a named on your system? | 13:37 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: or do you mean the A record points to your IP? | 13:38 |
| cicero_b | yep -- thanks | 13:38 |
| prince_jammys | cicero_b: i think / also works with less | 13:38 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: named? how to check it? | 13:38 |
| abuyazan | hello | 13:40 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: /etc/resolv.conf is for you resolving domain names like google.com.. unless you have bind or another form of named running on your system then nameserver should be set to your ISPs DNS servers and your router's IP | 13:40 |
| tickler | deez nutz | 13:40 |
| abuyazan | i had a real IP Address on my machine, i replaced it with virtual one by running ifconfig new ip and change the default route | 13:41 |
| Laney_Family | soo.... | 13:41 |
| abuyazan | but still i can ping the old IP | 13:41 |
| damaltor | hello everybody... since today, i have no sound in kubuntu (gutsy). while i watched a film yesterday (with sound) and then opened it in kdenlive to cut out the ads,i noticed that all clips were w/o sound. in the console output there was something like, no sound device found. so i went to bed, shut down the computer in hope that everything will be okay again today. but now, there is no sound at all - no mp3 playback, no movie sound, no syst | 13:41 |
| damaltor | em sound... none. if i try to play something in mplayer, it immediately freezes and hast du be killed via killall (then says something like, terminated in "play_sound"). what now? :( | 13:41 |
| abuyazan | and when i do trace to some network it goes through the old one | 13:41 |
| tickler | Just reinstall it | 13:41 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: tried cleaning out /tmp ? | 13:41 |
| abuyazan | is there a cache that i can delete it ? | 13:42 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: just a sec, woth a try | 13:42 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: I have bind DNS server version 9... what should I need to configure? | 13:42 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: have to logout and in, no? | 13:42 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: reboot | 13:42 |
| damaltor | kk | 13:43 |
| NthDegree | after cleaning out /tmp as root with rm -rf /tmp/* you should reboot | 13:43 |
| damaltor | ok | 13:43 |
| NthDegree | then if that still fails.. boot an older kernel, it could be a kernel bug | 13:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | why would a full /tmp effect his sound? | 13:44 |
| Pici | /tmp is cleared on each boot... | 13:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | thast what i thought | 13:44 |
| _Oz_ | argh | 13:45 |
| sint | hey, i have lots of zip files and i want to unzip them into directories with the name of the zip file. is there a command to do this in one step? | 13:45 |
| _Oz_ | I n d y G u n F r e a k | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | Pici: not always | 13:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: yo. | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | that depends on settings in init scripts usually | 13:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | still doesn't really explain how a full tmp would effect sound. | 13:45 |
| NthDegree | IndyGunFreak: it does if you use PulseAudio or ESD | 13:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | i guess... | 13:46 |
| floppy-shuriken | so ubuntu is the distro that "older" linux users use when they get tired of configure the system, and just want to do some real work? :) | 13:46 |
| white_eagle | hello! | 13:46 |
| deniz__ | any1 here no how to combine multiple video files into 1 on KDENLIVE? | 13:46 |
| NthDegree | floppy-shuriken: in my case yeah | 13:46 |
| faileas | floppy-shuriken: a little of both ;p | 13:46 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: I have bind DNS server version 9... what should I need to configure? | 13:46 |
| floppy-shuriken | all my linux gurus use ubuntu, I can't believe it, I have to find out why | 13:46 |
| IndyGunFreak | floppy-shuriken: are you asking if its easy to use?.. if thats the case, yes | 13:46 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: you want the first line in /etc/resolv.conf to be nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 13:46 |
| sint | for example: bla.zip into bla and stuff.zip into stuff. they are all in one directory, but they are all separate zip files. | 13:46 |
| NthDegree | then the second line as nameserver 192.168.1.1 (or whatever your router IP is) | 13:47 |
| NthDegree | then 2 more lines for ISP Primary and Secondary nameservers | 13:47 |
| K-Ton | floppy-shuriken : i think this distro is the most usable | 13:47 |
| floppy-shuriken | how big is the default installation? | 13:48 |
| NthDegree | floppy-shuriken: it has the second least amount of security (Slackware is least secure), but is reasonably easy to use... | 13:48 |
| white_eagle | hello | 13:48 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: worked... 0o tried few solutions from the net before, think i f_cked up more then i won... but clearing /tmp did the trick | 13:48 |
| damaltor | thx a lot | 13:48 |
| NthDegree | =] | 13:48 |
| white_eagle | ;) | 13:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | floppy-shuriken: minimum hard drive space, you'll probably want 3-4gigs... | 13:48 |
| zaggy-nl | NthDegree, how is the security of a distro determined? | 13:48 |
| white_eagle | floppy-shuriken: 10 gigs | 13:48 |
| NthDegree | zaggy-nl: proactive security and default config | 13:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | floppy-shuriken: but i'd recommend at least 10gigs | 13:48 |
| white_eagle | is recommended | 13:48 |
| NthDegree | Ubuntu has a brilliant default config | 13:48 |
| zaggy-nl | ah | 13:48 |
| EbilPhish | If you want excessive security then you probably want OpenBSD, and one in a virtual machine for each service | 13:48 |
| NthDegree | but sucks in the proactive security department | 13:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | white_eagle: 10gigs is recommended?.. where have you saw that. | 13:49 |
| floppy-shuriken | I thought the sudo thing made the computer more secure | 13:49 |
| _Oz_ | Nthdegree: it's good... maybe not BRILLIANT, but good. | 13:49 |
| NthDegree | EbilPhish: no you don't | 13:49 |
| floppy-shuriken | the root account is inactive | 13:49 |
| _Oz_ | floppy: it does, more or less, because the root password is locked away. | 13:49 |
| white_eagle | IndyGunFreak: ;) from me | 13:49 |
| white_eagle | I guess for begginners its the best | 13:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | white_eagle: well, thast incorrect.. | 13:49 |
| x3on | I used ubuntu for quite a long time but got fed up with the bugginess of it so moved to another distro. I almost came back to it but am wary of bloat. I gave Linux Mint a go and its great so far. Everything works perfectly after install, especially Wireless/Network manager icon and media codecs etc. Is this the same for the current release of Ubyutnu? because if i can have those same conveniences as mint, then Ill use ubuntu instead | 13:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | don't spread bad info white_eagle | 13:49 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: well.. woked partially. movies/mp3/... do well, but no system sounds. knotify asked my on this startup is i wnat do enable some other sound output, was to fas t so i klicked yes... could that be the error? | 13:49 |
| white_eagle | ok | 13:49 |
| _Oz_ | Ubuntu's not too bloated, and it's pretty darn stable now, x3on. | 13:50 |
| white_eagle | I won't IndyGunFreak | 13:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | floppy-shuriken: its not really inactive, Ubuntu just uses root differently than most linux distros | 13:50 |
| _Oz_ | Is Mint a free distro? | 13:50 |
| NthDegree | _Oz_: most distros compile with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, -fPIE and use either PaX or ExecShield | 13:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | !sudo | floppy-shuriken | 13:50 |
| ubotu | floppy-shuriken: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 13:50 |
| cliebow | _Oz_, yep | 13:50 |
| x3on | No idea Oz... free as in price, yeh | 13:50 |
| white_eagle | floppy-shuriken: and you know what is cool? that you don't need to defragment the disk | 13:50 |
| white_eagle | ever | 13:50 |
| Timmy | is this the room where you guys talk about computer? | 13:50 |
| EbilPhish | x3on: I think Mint is just a repackaged Ubuntu but with the codecs installed, the newer Ubuntu has automatic codec installation | 13:50 |
| K-Ton | x3on : wireless works me fine by default, but had to download codecs | 13:50 |
| NthDegree | _Oz_: that's why I think Ubuntu isn't that great in the security department.. and i'm not even sure if Ubuntu linkes with -z relro or not :( | 13:50 |
| x3on | Im really impressed at the post installation usability though... i didnt have to do anything | 13:51 |
| white_eagle | linux manages free space great, where win fails | 13:51 |
| _Oz_ | Yeah, Mint seems VERY similar to Ubuntu. | 13:51 |
| floppy-shuriken | well, I use linux, arch linux to be more specific. I build my system from a set of core packages | 13:51 |
| white_eagle | !mint | 13:51 |
| ubotu | The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 13:51 |
| _Oz_ | nthdegree: actually it's excellent in the security dept. | 13:51 |
| _Oz_ | Try to find someone here who has virus or security problems with Ubuntu | 13:51 |
| _Oz_ | bet you can't find one | 13:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | EbilPhish: _Oz_ Mint is very similar to Ubuntu, but the GUI is a bit different, but can easily be swapped out o look like a regular gnome interface | 13:51 |
| _Oz_ | those problems are virtually nonexistent with Ubuntu. | 13:51 |
| faileas | NthDegree: care to back that statement up? '[ | 13:51 |
| faileas | ;p | 13:51 |
| NthDegree | white_eagle: yes you do.. another misconception.. you just don't need to do it that often, ext4 plans to bring in "Online Defragmentation" as a new feature for that reason :P | 13:51 |
| floppy-shuriken | but what so great about pclinuxos, how come it's more popular on distrowatch? :) | 13:52 |
| _Oz_ | Is Mint considered a lightweight OS like Xubuntu or is it sorta heavy? | 13:52 |
| x3on | Is Networkmanager installed and enabled by default in Ubuntu? | 13:52 |
| Timmy | anyone knows why can't i play DVD on my laptop? | 13:52 |
| x3on | i tried configuring that thing by hand so many times and failed | 13:52 |
| dgjones | !dvd | Timmy | 13:52 |
| ubotu | Timmy: 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 | 13:52 |
| x3on | awesome to see it working perfectly in mint | 13:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: not really heavy, but its Gnome.... | 13:52 |
| white_eagle | NthDegree: but there was a place where I saw that linux doesn't need defragmenting | 13:52 |
| Andreysen | Hello, I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7 on my Laptop at the moment. When I boot with the downloaded CD the startup screen pops up but the loading bar in the beginning freezes and I have to switch off the Laptop physically. Any ideas?? | 13:52 |
| _Oz_ | would it run roughly the same as Ubuntu? | 13:52 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: well.. woked partially. movies/mp3/... do well, but no system sounds. knotify asked my on this startup is i wnat do enable some other sound output, was to fas t so i klicked yes... could that be the error? | 13:52 |
| white_eagle | i think it was whylinuxisbetter.net | 13:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: yes, most likely | 13:53 |
| NthDegree | white_eagle: that's a half-truth | 13:53 |
| _Oz_ | It really just looks like a wrapper for Ubuntu | 13:53 |
| NthDegree | it handles fragmentation better but lacks the ability to defrag properly | 13:53 |
| _Oz_ | I see almost nothing that Ubuntu doesn't already do | 13:53 |
| white_eagle | NthDegree: thanks for that | 13:53 |
| Timmy | thank you jones | 13:53 |
| _Oz_ | What's one advantage of Mint over Ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| compwiz18 | mint has more stuff preinstalled, like codecs | 13:53 |
| Timmy | can someone tell me what is ubuntu? @_@ | 13:53 |
| white_eagle | _Oz_: its all about a peoples will | 13:53 |
| NthDegree | faileas: I can't see any place that shows what proactive features Ubuntu uses at the moment | 13:53 |
| Pici | !ubuntu | Timmy | 13:53 |
| ubotu | Timmy: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com | 13:53 |
| NthDegree | faileas: since hardened ubuntu keep asking for the things I mentioned every release i'll assume they're not in use yet | 13:54 |
| Timmy | oooh | 13:54 |
| white_eagle | if anyone needs direct rendering with ati ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=589637 | 13:54 |
| _Oz_ | But why go with Mint? It's one of those tangential spinoffs and not supported nearly as well as Ubuntu. Seems your best bet these days for a Linux distro is Ubuntu or one of its flavors. They're all supported. | 13:54 |
| Timmy | linux OS? | 13:54 |
| NthDegree | faileas: but I do thing the default config rocks! ^.^ | 13:54 |
| Pici | Timmy: yes, Linux. | 13:54 |
| Timmy | the penguin symbol? | 13:54 |
| K-Ton | do you know what BSD distro is the best (easy to use) for a beginner? | 13:54 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: well.. woked partially. movies/mp3/... do well, but no system sounds. as said, knotify made me anable some other sound output. but now, kopete still has no sound while in system settings the "test sound system" button does well. any new idea? =) | 13:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Timmy: do some google searching for Linux... | 13:54 |
| clemyeats | _Oz_: http://linuxmint.com/pub/Daryna_User_Guide-4.1.pdf (goes through specificities of Mint) | 13:54 |
| white_eagle | K-Ton: which | 13:54 |
| Alex | K-Ton: Try a BSD channel? :) | 13:54 |
| faileas | K-Ton: pc bsd | 13:54 |
| Timmy | I heard many people say linux suxk | 13:54 |
| Pici | !linux | Timmy | 13:54 |
| ubotu | Timmy: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 13:54 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: look at aRts | 13:55 |
| _Oz_ | thank you, clemyeats. | 13:55 |
| K-Ton | thanks white_eagle & faileas | 13:55 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: yeah that was what knotify asked me to activate | 13:55 |
| Pici | Mint is offtopic for this channel. Please move discussion elsewhere, thanks. | 13:55 |
| faileas | NthDegree: yeah it does, and new things work all the time ;p | 13:55 |
| Timmy | like whats the difference between linux OS and regular OS ? | 13:55 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: so how can i configure/change that again? | 13:55 |
| Pici | Timmy: Read the link that Ubotu gave you, it should explain things better than we can. | 13:55 |
| white_eagle | Timmy: see the wikipedia page for linux please | 13:55 |
| NthDegree | K Menu > System Settings > Sound System | 13:56 |
| NthDegree | @ damaltor | 13:56 |
| _Oz_ | Yeah, Mint appears to be a watered-down Ubuntu. Nothing to see here. | 13:56 |
| _Oz_ | Stick with Ubuntu, folks. | 13:56 |
| EbilPhish | Linux is a 'regular' OS | 13:56 |
| _Oz_ | Timmy: Linux is open source. | 13:56 |
| NthDegree | faileas: it's the proactive security thing that made me use Fedora and/or CentOS for the last two years or so >.> | 13:56 |
| faileas | ubuntu+medibuntu+winehq wine pretty much covers it for me | 13:56 |
| Timmy | many people doesnt consider it regular os | 13:56 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: that works fine, there is a test button and i hear a melody... | 13:56 |
| Stagger | !it | 13:56 |
| _Oz_ | Timmy: If by "regular" OS you mean "proprietary" such as Microsoft Windows, the difference is that there's a thriving community which supports Linux for free. | 13:56 |
| Andreysen | Hey guys! Need help: I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7 on my Laptop at the moment. When I boot with the downloaded CD the startup screen pops up and I choose option 1 to start/install Ubuntu. The loading bar in the next screen freezes and I have to switch off the Laptop physically. Any ideas?? | 13:56 |
| Timmy | since linux works differently | 13:56 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 13:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: not really watered down, dumbed down... eveyr codec imaginable is installed, NTFS mounting tool is installed by default, lots of other things,. its good, i don't care for it, but its not bad | 13:57 |
| NthDegree | faileas: if Ubuntu starts with more proactive security it'll be the perfect distro in my eyes :D | 13:57 |
| EbilPhish | I'm not sure what is considered a irregular os, probably some of the experimental ones | 13:57 |
| _Oz_ | Linux is more stable and performs better than Windows, Timmy. | 13:57 |
| cliebow | Andreysen, must have something to do with acpi.. | 13:57 |
| Timmy | in what way? | 13:57 |
| faileas | NthDegree: well, fedora/centos seems to have a different target than ubuntu... i do suppose there's selinux as an option for ubuntu? | 13:57 |
| _Oz_ | IndyGunFreak: NTFS is supported by default? I'd like that. | 13:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: its just as efficient as Ubuntu, it just looks different, the different menu system takes a bit to get used to... | 13:57 |
| faileas | EbilPhish: plan 9! ;p | 13:57 |
| _Oz_ | I also like having all the codecs installed. | 13:57 |
| _Oz_ | So, perhaps there is something to like about this "Mint". | 13:57 |
| Andreysen | ok. should I try using noacpi etc. at starup? | 13:57 |
| Pici | _Oz_: ntfs-3g is in Gutsy by default as well. | 13:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: yep...actually, Gutsy detected my NTFS partition by default to.... and mounts it no prob. | 13:57 |
| Pici | !offtopic | 13:57 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 13:57 |
| _Oz_ | But... is it supported like Ubuntu? Can you install the same stuff that runs in Ubuntu, in mint? | 13:58 |
| Pici | !mint | _Oz_ | 13:58 |
| ubotu | _Oz_: The following are some examples of Ubuntu derived distributions that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes, please consult their websites for more information: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (support in #linuxmint), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), Ubuntu Ultimate | 13:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: well, their support channel usually has all of... 20 people in there...lol | 13:58 |
| cliebow | Andreysen, give it a whirl..i can ask ogra if you need me to | 13:58 |
| _Oz_ | Ah, so Mint is sufficiently different from Ubuntu. | 13:58 |
| _Oz_ | Yeah, Ubuntu seems to be the wave to ride. | 13:58 |
| faileas | _Oz_: probably can use the same repos,but i kinda think its a little like, why get an apple from a box, when you can get it from a tree? ;p | 13:58 |
| NthDegree | faileas: not on about SELinux, I mean the other stuff, like compiling with all the security technologies available in gcc, adding in a good quality technology like ExecShield or PaX with the bits flipped so you need to flag binaries to enable rather than disable protection (so nothing breaks) and enhancing AppArmor | 13:58 |
| Andreysen | I'll give it a try cliebow, thanks for now | 13:59 |
| faileas | _Oz_: they got rnough things right ;p | 13:59 |
| _Oz_ | faileas: precisely. | 13:59 |
| faileas | *enough | 13:59 |
| _Oz_ | At least it's linux, but still... Ubuntu has massive support and momentum. | 13:59 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: that works fine, there is a test button and i hear a melody... | 13:59 |
| _Oz_ | Is it safe to say that these days, Ubuntu is the most popular and/or fastest growing Linux distro? | 13:59 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: oops sorry.. | 13:59 |
| damaltor | np | 13:59 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: thats its appeal... its "Linux for Human beings" | 13:59 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: try the sound config for each sound | 13:59 |
| faileas | _Oz_: pretty much | 13:59 |
| faileas | and the disk service | 13:59 |
| NthDegree | see if testing those works | 13:59 |
| white_eagle | guys is deb better over rpm, or apt over yum, or reversly? | 13:59 |
| badboy | ciao | 13:59 |
| x3on | Is Networkmanager installed and enabled by default in Ubuntu? | 13:59 |
| cliebow | k | 13:59 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: what do you mean with each sound= | 13:59 |
| NthDegree | as in where you preview each sound | 13:59 |
| _Oz_ | Very good. | 13:59 |
| damaltor | ? | 13:59 |
| white_eagle | x3on: yes | 13:59 |
| irony9999 | ciao a tutti e ben ritrovati | 13:59 |
| * faileas notes he's gotten a few people over by handing them the disks | 14:00 | |
| geekahedron | good thing for all this massive support; i can't get my wireless card or ndiswrapper to work ^^ | 14:00 |
| dgjones | !best | white_eagle | 14:00 |
| ubotu | white_eagle: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 14:00 |
| _Oz_ | I hereby write Mint off as being a tangential waste of time. STICK WITH UBUNTU. | 14:00 |
| EbilPhish | Does Gutsy have AppArmour enabled by default? And if not will 8.04? | 14:00 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: where you select what sound is made for each event | 14:00 |
| white_eagle | heh | 14:00 |
| faileas | x3on: on gutsy, yes, and it supports WPA ;p | 14:00 |
| perhamlinux | hello guys | 14:00 |
| NthDegree | click the play button on each event and see if they work | 14:00 |
| white_eagle | I was asking for your opinion | 14:00 |
| IndyGunFreak | white_eagle: its a matter of opinion, personally, I think .deb/apt is lightyears better than rpm/yum.. but its all opinion | 14:00 |
| white_eagle | not for the best | 14:00 |
| NthDegree | EbilPhish: has it enabled for a single daemon yeah | 14:00 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: in kopete you mean? opened it, but if i press play on a selected file i hear nothing | 14:00 |
| NthDegree | cups | 14:00 |
| floppy-shuriken | pacman :) | 14:00 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: no on Sound System Settings | 14:00 |
| damaltor | k | 14:01 |
| Stagger | hello, whenever i try to import mpc files into rhythmbox i get the error saying that it cant find the GStreamer plugin for musepack. I think i have installed the musepack plugins, how do i find out if there is something i am missing. thanks a lot! | 14:01 |
| NthDegree | if Test Sound works | 14:01 |
| NthDegree | then move on to Notifications | 14:01 |
| geekahedron | if i just downloaded ndiswrapper 1.52 from their site, should i be getting make errors | 14:01 |
| NthDegree | on the System Settings bit | 14:01 |
| white_eagle | geekahedron: just curious, what wireless card do you have? | 14:01 |
| perhamlinux | I configured my Ubuntu to do NAT. and in my windows PC I can ping external ips, but I can't browse anything and no program seems to understand that I'm connected. any ideas? | 14:01 |
| zaggy-nl | Anyone here with a creative x-fi sound card? | 14:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Oz_: lol, i don't know about waste of time.. its just kinda dumbed down for people who want everything to work right away, and require very little configuring. | 14:01 |
| cliebow | IndyGunFreak, takes all the fun out oif it huh! | 14:02 |
| EbilPhish | perhamlinux: Can you ping by hostnames, ie google.com? | 14:02 |
| NthDegree | IndyGunFreak: I think RPM has more features than DEB and can handle arches better | 14:02 |
| NthDegree | that's just me | 14:02 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: how to access cdrom in ubuntu via webmin? | 14:02 |
| perhamlinux | let's see | 14:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | problem is, if there's something you don't know how to do, its tough to figure out on your own, and their support channel is well, a ghost town.. at least it was a few months ago. | 14:02 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: I don't use webmin so no idea | 14:02 |
| Laney_Family | Q. can you execute a msi in ubuntu? | 14:02 |
| perhamlinux | no | 14:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | NthDegree: its a matter of opinion i guess... i freakin hate yum | 14:02 |
| arekkusu | Stagger: in Add/remove application you should have "GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack" | 14:02 |
| faileas | IndyGunFreak: its sad, but i tend to pick distros by support channels | 14:02 |
| faileas | Laney_Family: no | 14:03 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: ok, sound was disabled there. if i use the "kde sound system" it does not work, i can hear sounds if is use the external mplayer... thats a workaround so far, but nit waht i expected :( how can i reactivate the sound system / change the thing i activated before? | 14:03 |
| Laney_Family | augh... didnt think so... | 14:03 |
| perhamlinux | is that the problem? DNS? | 14:03 |
| perhamlinux | what should I do then? | 14:03 |
| faileas | Laney_Family: even in wine | 14:03 |
| * faileas thinks MSI needs microsoft installer | 14:03 | |
| geekahedron | white_eagle: it's a dell d630; broadcom bcm94311mcg wlan mini-pci (rev 01) | 14:03 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: how about in the terminal? How to access cdrom drive? | 14:03 |
| IndyGunFreak | faileas: not really sad, you're just predicting problems, want to make sure you can get help... better than diving head first into a pool w/o water | 14:03 |
| EbilPhish | perhamlinux: Probably, how are you assigning ip addresses? Normally the DNS is assigned with them | 14:03 |
| cliebow | perhamlinux, does /etc/resolv.conf show you what params dns runs on? | 14:03 |
| Laney_Family | Faileas: what is wine? | 14:03 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: depends on the device file for the cdrom | 14:04 |
| faileas | Laney_Family: it lets you run some windows apps in linux | 14:04 |
| EbilPhish | !wine | 14:04 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 14:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | Laney_Family: http://www.winehq.com | 14:04 |
| NthDegree | try mkdir /media/cdrom && mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom | 14:04 |
| perhamlinux | wait | 14:04 |
| NthDegree | @ rhineheart_m | 14:04 |
| Stagger | arekkesu: actually i cannot see | 14:04 |
| prince_jammys | can't you just do ls /media/cdrom ? | 14:04 |
| white_eagle | Laney_Family: its still an alpha release | 14:04 |
| NthDegree | prince_jammys: only if he has a desktop with HAL running on it | 14:04 |
| NthDegree | and one single drive | 14:05 |
| white_eagle | so don't expect plenty | 14:05 |
| Laney_Family | wow, now that is a response to a Q. LOL | 14:05 |
| djibuti | hello | 14:05 |
| NthDegree | white_eagle: BETA ;) | 14:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 14:05 |
| white_eagle | :) | 14:05 |
| white_eagle | alpha, beta, gama | 14:05 |
| white_eagle | :D | 14:05 |
| NthDegree | 0.9.x is BETA.. but that doesn't make it any better ;-p | 14:05 |
| djibuti | can anyone tell me how to apply backport to tremulous? | 14:05 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: ok, sound was disabled there. if i use the "kde sound system" it does not work, i can hear sounds if is use the external mplayer... thats a workaround so far, but nit waht i expected :( how can i reactivate the sound system / change the thing i activated before? | 14:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | djibuti: are you trying to install tremulous? | 14:05 |
| NthDegree | damaltor: i'm not sure there | 14:05 |
| mous16 | hi to all. there is a way to obtain the directory tree of a web-site? | 14:05 |
| djibuti | nope only the backport | 14:06 |
| NthDegree | try Sound System and see if it is loaded | 14:06 |
| NthDegree | if it is then disable it and click Apply | 14:06 |
| NthDegree | then enable it and click Apply again | 14:06 |
| rhineheart_m | NthDegree: how about to display all the files in the cdrom drive? what's the command? | 14:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | djibuti: well, i don't know what the tremlous backport is. | 14:06 |
| NthDegree | rhineheart_m: cd /media/cdrom && ls | 14:06 |
| damaltor | NthDegree: maybe its time for reinstalling... usually something i never did in linux, but i collected a heap of shit on my hdd anyway.. maybe ill look what i really need, and make up the system new =) | 14:06 |
| NthDegree | then cd into whatever dir you're looking for from there | 14:06 |
| djibuti | IndyGunFreak: ok, it says there to just overwrite the executable with an x86 file that I have to download somewhere. But I dont know where the executable is | 14:07 |
| djibuti | I mean i dont know where it is in my pc | 14:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | djibuti: i imagine in ./tremulous but thats a guess. | 14:08 |
| white_eagle | djibuti: its in your home directory | 14:08 |
| perhamlinux | EbilPhish , cliebow OK, now I'm using /etc/resolv.conf DNSes and it works fine, nut I did it manually. my dhcp seems not to work | 14:08 |
| danbhfive | djibuti: i have a tutorial to update tremulous to 1.2 backport | 14:08 |
| white_eagle | just enter your home directory | 14:08 |
| cliebow | Andreysen, im hanging in #ltsp | 14:08 |
| eMxyzptlk | Hello guys, there was a tutorial way back on how to create a small shell without borders, anyone remember where is it? I just need the name of the gnome daemon that allows specific windows preferences (not Emerald nor metacity) | 14:08 |
| white_eagle | and press Ctrl-H | 14:08 |
| Pici | eMxyzptlk: devilspie | 14:09 |
| djibuti | danbhfive' ok how? | 14:09 |
| tux_ | Hello. igot my brand new laptop today.. a Hp pavilion dv9000 series.. I tried to start the ubuntu 7.10 amd64 disc but my screen went black.. what can i do | 14:09 |
| eMxyzptlk | Pici, oh thank you ... | 14:09 |
| danbhfive | djibuti: but at this point, that tutorial might be a little hard to access, its part of a project im working on | 14:09 |
| IndyGunFreak | white_eagle: its not there, i just looked. | 14:09 |
| geekahedron | white_eagle: i have a bunch of errors just trying to `make` the ndiswrapper | 14:09 |
| perhamlinux | do you have any Idea how can i run dhcp server in ubuntu. | 14:09 |
| white_eagle | geekahedron: do you have all dependencies installd? | 14:09 |
| EbilPhish | perhamlinux: Did the dhcp assign another nameserver, perhaps itself instead of an isp one? | 14:10 |
| white_eagle | dependencies for compiling*** | 14:10 |
| djibuti | dambhfive: may i know how i could access it? | 14:10 |
| Timmy | oh so linux is basically some sort of OS thats good in making codes for program and gaming? | 14:10 |
| geekahedron | white_eagle: how do i check? | 14:10 |
| Timmy | the desktop sucks | 14:10 |
| === Guest24618 is now known as AckerMANn | ||
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: ndiswrapper is in the repositories, why are you compiling it? | 14:10 |
| white_eagle | Timmy: no | 14:10 |
| white_eagle | geekahedron: wait | 14:10 |
| white_eagle | a sec | 14:10 |
| cliebow | perhamlinux, i cant keep track in here..ill be over in #ltsp where at least i can get insulted.. | 14:10 |
| Laney_Family | ok, well, i think if done one of my first instalations, wine | 14:10 |
| Laney_Family | ive rather | 14:10 |
| danbhfive | djibuti: well, you can join #climl but im trying to figure an easier way for ya | 14:10 |
| tdawgedogg | oh shit guys i got my first error ever using ubuntu | 14:10 |
| IndyGunFreak | Timmy: you've been given lots of links to learn about linux and ubuntu, read them, asking questions here further is silly | 14:11 |
| white_eagle | Laney_Family: go to the about of wine | 14:11 |
| Laney_Family | ??? | 14:11 |
| white_eagle | see if it says 0.9.55 | 14:11 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak: i was explicitly told to download from ndiswrapper and not from the repos | 14:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: ok... | 14:11 |
| Timmy | can i have the link again? | 14:11 |
| Laney_Family | its at 65 % now | 14:11 |
| white_eagle | Laney_Family: to see do you have the latest version | 14:11 |
| djibuti | danbhfive: ok | 14:11 |
| Timmy | !linux | 14:11 |
| ubotu | Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 14:11 |
| EbilPhish | perhamlinux: Personally I like dnsmasq, for my home server its fairly simple | 14:11 |
| tdawgedogg | in mplayer im playing a 1080p movie and I get an error that says to many frames in the buffer what does that mean | 14:11 |
| Laney_Family | i did it via the terminal and added it to the apt to keep it updated.. | 14:11 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get build-dep ndiswrapper" | 14:11 |
| Laney_Family | but yes, after it finishes ill do that | 14:11 |
| white_eagle | thanks IndyGunFreak | 14:11 |
| djibuti | Timmy: Linux will PWN windows in the near future | 14:11 |
| white_eagle | for saving me time | 14:11 |
| EbilPhish | perhamlinux: Has a dhcp server in it | 14:11 |
| Timmy | how do you mean? | 14:12 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: that command will do a dependency check on the ndiswrapper in the repos, then install them, then that should resolve dependencies for the version you're trying to compile | 14:12 |
| perhamlinux | my ubuntu is connecting fine, but dhcp iun windows even couldn't assign right address with ubuntu | 14:12 |
| Laney_Family | Q. where do you guys learn these commands??? | 14:12 |
| danbhfive | djibuti: pm? | 14:12 |

| dgjones | Timmy, you might be better joining #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat about Linux/Ubuntu, this channel is for problem solving and help, rather than discussions | 14:12 |

| bazhang | Laney_Family: you do it after awhile and it comes naturally--debian basied ones are especially good with the apt-get commmands to run | 14:13 |
| bazhang | err commands even | 14:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: did you open synaptic? | 14:13 |
| white_eagle | tux_: is your processor 64bit? | 14:13 |

| djibuti | danbhfive: i have yet to register | 14:13 |
| EbilPhish | Laney_Family: And looking at man pages | 14:13 |
| danbhfive | djibuti: then just join #climl | 14:13 |
| Pici | I think he meant the bot commands... | 14:13 |
| bazhang | perhamlinux: sudo apt-get install packagename | 14:13 |

| threefcata | hi, how to configure wpa wifi with a static ip? i changed /etc/../interface but it does not work? | 14:15 |
| bazhang | oops sorry perhamlinux; misread your question ;] | 14:15 |
| EbilPhish | threefcata: Default Ubuntu Desktop installs use Network Manager, its the icon on the top right | 14:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: did you do that? | 14:15 |
| white_eagle | hey bazhang | 14:15 |
| bazhang | heya white_eagle | 14:15 |
| Stagger | arekkesu: thanks, that fixed it! | 14:15 |
| Stagger | :) | 14:15 |
| threefcata | EbilPhish: but it seems it does not support WPA? | 14:16 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak: yes | 14:16 |
| === andatche_ is now known as andatche | ||
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: ok, now close synaptic. | 14:16 |
| white_eagle | got that direct rendering to work bazhang ? | 14:16 |

| rilo | Soo, how can I enter extended ASCII given default keyboard settings for a US 105-key generic keyboard? It's actually a laptop keyboard and I would have to use Fn to simulate the keypad | 14:16 |
| Pici | tux_: Have you treid the Alternate CD? | 14:16 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak: i did .. it's asking for my disc | 14:16 |
| bazhang | white_eagle: when I get an ATI card I will ;] | 14:16 |
| Pici | !alt | tux_ | 14:17 |
| ubotu | tux_: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 14:17 |
| white_eagle | oh | 14:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: ok, well, thats annoying. | 14:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: open synaptic again. | 14:17 |

| danbhfive | AckerMANn: how about sudo -i ? | 14:19 |
| rilo | what is the equivalent of "ipconfig /renew" in Windows? Is it "dhcpclient"? | 14:19 |

| faileas | GSK: host or guest? | 14:19 |
| EbilPhish | threefcata: I don't really know the Ubuntu specifics but you need to edit /etc/wpasupplicant.conf and add your networks to it, I assume you might need to disable network manager to stop it from overriding stuff | 14:19 |

| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: any program thats in the repositories, but you need the updated version, or a compiled version.. running that build-dep program basically just tells ubuntu to build the dependencies for it, which should make compiling the source easy, assuming the dependencies for the version you're wanting to compile, are the same as the verison in the repos(usually it is, its never let me down) | 14:19 |

| threefcata | EbilPhish: hmm, ok seems i need a bit of google on that.. | 14:20 |
| threefcata | EbilPhish: thx anyway | 14:20 |

| Laney_Family | ok guys, stange Q., When i installed edubuntu all my devices worked correctly, even my old wireless card (not that old), but when I installed ubuntu server then added the ubuntu desktop gui, the wireless is not there? any ideas, i mean I thought they were all the same with diff configurations | 14:21 |
| white_eagle | Pici: is wubi recommended for begginers? (just curious) | 14:22 |
| * avaloncio is away: Estoy ocupado | 14:22 | |
| white_eagle | !wubi | 14:22 |
| ubotu | wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html | 14:22 |
| lynghoej | hello all | 14:22 |
| * avaloncio is back (gone 00:00:03) | 14:22 | |
| IndyGunFreak | Muschifurz: first guess would be to reburn the CD, SLOW... | 14:22 |
| EbilPhish | Laney_Family: Did you install the ubuntu-desktop package? | 14:22 |
| cliebow | Muschifurz, what model lappie? | 14:22 |
| danbhfive | AckerMANn: i think you need to post a link in chat | 14:22 |
| Pici | !away > avaloncio (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 14:22 |
| Pici | white_eagle: Depends on their setup. | 14:22 |
| faileas | white_eagle: hell yes.however the website addie there is wrong | 14:22 |
| EbilPhish | Laney_Family: Perhaps you need to install network-manager | 14:22 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: you may need to enable the driver in the restricted drivers manager--what card is it? can you access the machine presently? | 14:22 |
| cliebow | Muschifurz, good point..the cd is highly compressed and is oicky about burn | 14:22 |
| AckerMANn | danbhfive: this link ? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56744/report/ | 14:23 |
| voltage | Morning all | 14:23 |
| white_eagle | I dunno if I should install ubuntu at my friend with wubi or usually, so I don't mess up something | 14:23 |
| Laney_Family | Baz, yes, im on the rig now, how do i findout the details on the card? | 14:23 |
| white_eagle | usually = with the live cd | 14:23 |
| Laney_Family | i a bit vauge on its specs | 14:23 |

| EbilPhish | white_eagle: wubi hasn't seemed that good to me slow and such, if your careful you shouldn't break anything (and you can probally do as much damange with wubi anyway) | 14:24 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: open up a terminal and type lspci if it is internal and lsusb if it a usb dongle then tell us the precise model here--no need to paste, just something like broadcomm 43xx or the like | 14:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | EbilPhish: because wubi isn't that good. | 14:24 |
| QuickGold | Can anyone recommend a great looking, robust IM client similiar to Adium? | 14:24 |
| threefcata | EbilPhish: i read that page before, it doesn't say if wpa works with network manager or not, it's just about how to configure the wpa_supplicant.conf | 14:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | EbilPhish: white_eagle likes to see how much bad advice he can hand out in a day | 14:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | EbilPhish: at what speed did you burn the disk? | 14:25 |
| Laney_Family | ok doing that now baz | 14:25 |
| AckerMANn | danbhfive: man but .. this is the response of ubuntu when i give sudo su - command. want i need to do to resolve it ? | 14:25 |
| Laney_Family | and no its internal, otherwise id just read it | 14:25 |
| GSK | so for vmware ? | 14:25 |
| danbhfive | AckerMANn: well, obviously there is something wrong with the sendmail setup, but I have no idea how to fix that | 14:25 |
| GSK | want to configure mode bridged for virtual machines | 14:25 |

| geekahedron | okay so .. now that i *think* my wireless card drivers are there, how can i use it? | 14:26 |

| white_eagle | if you like | 14:28 |

| erawfish_ | NthDegree: cause when rdp is active the XP users won't see a thing | 14:42 |
| Codenut | grrr, going from an update stable (gutsy) to an older version (7.04) seems kind of dumb. OHHHH well | 14:42 |
| Piet | hi all. is it better to install tomcat manually or via apt-get? on ubuntu | 14:42 |
| NthDegree | erawfish_: on remote assistance the XP users can see everything that occurs just like on VNC | 14:42 |
| erawfish_ | Piet: only via apt-get is supported here | 14:42 |

| erawfish_ | rhineheart_m: you have removed sendmail is shown here. why do you want to use sendmail? | 14:43 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: the wireless was working in the edubuntu install? and then you installed ubuntu-server (which of course has no wireless option) and put ubuntu-desktop on top of that? that would be the issue=if you did the reverse; installed ubuntu then added server components (lamp eg) it would include the wireless components | 14:43 |
| Piet | erawfish_ you recommend apt-get? | 14:43 |
| erawfish_ | Piet: aptitude or synaptic | 14:43 |
| AckerMANn | prince_jammys: wait a second please. | 14:43 |
| Piet | erawfish_ why those? | 14:43 |

| InsClusoe | Hi all.. I have problems playing .VOB files and .flv files with vlc on feisty. It's able to play mp3 files, though. | 14:44 |
| NthDegree | Piet: they are easier to use mostly | 14:44 |
| mykorrhiza | Does that seem ok? | 14:44 |
| erawfish_ | Piet: cause they are the default ways to install stuff | 14:44 |
| rhineheart_m | erawfish_: I want to use it in registration confirmation in my drupal site | 14:44 |
| Piet | allright. | 14:44 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: you can test this out by running the ubuntu live cd and see if that gets the wireless card | 14:44 |
| erawfish_ | rhineheart_m: that is no reason. drupal doesn't need sendmail | 14:44 |
| NthDegree | InsClusoe: install libdvdcss for the .VOB files if they're from a DVD | 14:44 |
| InsClusoe | NthDegree: I have installed it. | 14:44 |
| prince_jammys | AckerMANn: what happens when you do :: sudo apt-get install postfix ? | 14:44 |
| Laney_Family | for some reason i cannot run the live cd on this sys, it prompts back to a terminal screen | 14:44 |
| erawfish_ | rhineheart_m: every MTA has a /usr/lib/sendmail binary with it. use postfix or exim | 14:45 |
| erawfish_ | Laney_Family: what wlan is it? what chip? | 14:45 |
| Laney_Family | as such i cannot install ubuntu with the disk i have... | 14:45 |
| AckerMANn | prince_jammys: when ... that: sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory | 14:45 |
| Viktorious | whats a good p2p sharing program similar to limewire | 14:45 |
| Laney_Family | idk, its in the machine, no access | 14:45 |
| InsClusoe | NthDegree: I have libdvdcss2, if that matters. | 14:45 |
| bazhang | Laney_Family: well you could install ubuntu-desktop on the edubuntu install and choose session from there | 14:45 |
| erawfish_ | AckerMANn: dpkg-reconfigure postfix as root. full output in a pastebin | 14:45 |
| dgjones | !alternate | Laney_Family, If the livecd doesn't work, you could try the alternate install cd | 14:45 |
| ubotu | Laney_Family, If the livecd doesn't work, you could try the alternate install cd: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 14:46 |
| bazhang | erawfish_: atheros chipset supported in edubuntu | 14:46 |
| nastas | Victorious frostwire :) | 14:46 |
| rhineheart_m | erawfish_: okay.. so what should I need to configure? I tried registering but the confirmation didn't arrive | 14:46 |
| erawfish_ | Laney_Family: you do have access. you can boot something on the machine, right? | 14:46 |
| spaceninja | doesn't ubuntu use hal to automatically mount discs? | 14:46 |
| erawfish_ | rhineheart_with sendmail? you should install it first. but I don't support sendmail | 14:46 |
| AckerMANn | erawfish_ : wait a second. | 14:46 |
| erawfish_ | bazhang: if edubuntu's kernel can so can ubuntu's | 14:46 |
| NthDegree | InsClusoe: do those files play on mplayer? | 14:46 |
| Laney_Family | thanks gusy, unfortunaly i have to go, sun needs bath before school | 14:46 |
| arekkusu | A bit off topic but I just saw a news that compaq is coming with an UMPC with Windows OR Linux as OS choice.... I had no idea compaq sold pc running on linux... is that something new ? | 14:47 |
| Laney_Family | thanks for your help | 14:47 |
| bazhang | erawfish_: indeed, which is what I was trying to tell Laney_Family | 14:47 |
| Laney_Family | lol son needs bath rather | 14:47 |

| vb | my ubuntu is heating up my laptop leading to restart whenver i listen to songs or play youtube videos, it is ubuntu-specific since the laptop works fine over on xp, it worked fine 4 days back, i assume some system update has messed up something, any idea? | 14:47 |
| nastas | anyone knows how to make my wireless light to work? | 14:47 |
| erawfish_ | AckerMANn: HP (owner of compaq) sold linux boxes for ages now | 14:47 |
| erawfish_ | nastas: only if you learn to ask sensible questions | 14:47 |
| bazhang | arekkusu: best to ask about that in #ubuntu-offtopic ;] | 14:48 |
| erawfish_ | arekkusu: HP (owner of compaq) sold linux boxes for ages now | 14:48 |
| AckerMANn | erawfish_ : that is the result : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56748/plain/ | 14:48 |
| erawfish_ | AckerMANn: touch http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56748/plain/ | 14:48 |
| erawfish_ | erm, touch /etc/postfix/main.cf | 14:48 |
| erawfish_ | then try again | 14:48 |
| AckerMANn | erawfish_ : the result is : touch: cannot touch `/etc/postfix/main.cf': Permission denied | 14:49 |
| erawfish_ | AckerMANn: does /etc/postfix/ exist? the directory exists and if so what files are in there? | 14:49 |

| arekkusu | bazhang: sorry didn't realise there was an offtopic channel >< erawfish_: Ok didn't know that :) | 14:49 |

| erawfish_ | Wunar: hold is a status flag which tells apt (or aptitude) not to automatically upgrade a package. To hold a package, 'echo pkgname hold|dpkg --set-selections', or 'aptitude hold package', or use = in aptitude's curses interface.

| NthDegree | InsClusoe: start mplayer in a console and see what it says when it crashes | 14:51 |
| no1knwosme | 2 | 14:51 |
| NthDegree | you may need to file a bug# | 14:51 |

| NthDegree | anything you type after that is plaintext | 14:57 |
| Jockeo | NthDegree: No, I saw on Wikipedia that it doesn't have encryption, but I will still use that one. | 14:57 |
| ZeroA4 | The_Machine, VNC send password in clear text... can be sniffed out of the network | 14:57 |

| nios | when i watch prison break or any other serie/movie on mplayer or vlc it sometimes stop, do i need any codec or so? | 14:58 |
| wsukid | im new to ubuntu and linux overall is there a place i can get commands to check what my computer is running with? | 14:58 |

| Aciid | I think ill ignore join part quits | 14:58 |
| Jockeo | NthDegree: Yes, I might tunnel it via SSH if I use it a lot. | 14:58 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: maybe your flv is damaged or malformed. you could try to convert it with ffmpeg | 14:58 |
| SleepingSloth | artti, if you're asking that question, you're probably better off with gnome | 14:59 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: I don't know if it's damaged. But VLC on WinXP is able to play the same file. | 14:59 |
| artti | SleepingSloth, how i can remove Gnome? | 14:59 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: try my advice | 14:59 |

| ubotu | InsClusoe: 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) | 15:15 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: it seems to be complaining about some missing Matrox MGA graphics card. does other video files play nice in mplayer? | 15:15 |
| cyphase | Does anyone know what happened to Galago? Development seems to have stalled. | 15:15 |
| reikalusikka | goki_work: how can I add it back? | 15:15 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: plz use a paste bin | 15:15 |
| brunner | hi all | 15:15 |
| Kibbles | when running apt-get from terminal (trying to install ATI drivers) it prompts me for disc. i don't have it on me - can I get around this? | 15:15 |
| Jouva | sdsheeks: It's been atleast... 20 minutes and it still hasn't gotten to the desktop yet to run the installer. | 15:15 |
| goki_work | reikalusikka: Not sure what it is called in gnome, but right click on the panel, then choose to add an applet, look for something like system tray or sytem notification. Give me a sec and I will start up a gnome system to check | 15:15 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: ok.. Here you go.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/4798/ | 15:15 |
| danbhfive | !gutsysources | Kibbles | 15:15 |
| ubotu | Kibbles: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 15:15 |
| Le-Chuck_IT1 | Jouva: maybe or just check the cd for defects | 15:16 |
| reikalusikka | goki_work: ok thanks | 15:16 |
| Jouva | Le-Chuck_IT1: Done that, it's fine | 15:16 |
| sdsheeks | Jouva: that is not normal. Is it scratched? | 15:16 |
| USN1520 | KIbbles: open up synaptic and uncheck the disc from source | 15:16 |
| Le-Chuck_IT1 | Jouva: then it's normal :) | 15:16 |
| Le-Chuck_IT1 | No for me it is | 15:16 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: No.. VLC crashes when I try to play .vob files from DVD's. | 15:16 |
| S4nD3r | Is possible to install lenny from ubuntu ??? | 15:16 |
| pawan | amule could not load servers | 15:17 |
| brunner | my install CD is damaged and it's the only one I have. Is there any way to adjust the apt sources so it uses an online server as the source for the installation packages instead of trying to pull them off the CD? | 15:17 |
| Jouva | I'm _thinking_ it's because the system has only 256 megs memory | 15:17 |
| Jouva | It's a P4 HT though. | 15:17 |
| Le-Chuck_IT1 | nobody knows how to stop networkmanager autoconnecting to a network I have chosen once by mistake? | 15:17 |
| USN1520 | brunner: in synaptic uncheck the cd as a source and it will revert to online | 15:17 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: Regarding mplayer's msg, I don't have a graphics card installed. I am using Intel's onboard graphics only. | 15:17 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: VLC confirms that it does not find video playback support in your graphics card driver. it would have been easier if you would have told us that no video playback work. what's your graphics card, and what driver are you using? | 15:18 |
| brunner | USN1520: yes, but will that include packages for the base system? | 15:18 |
| Technoid_India | brunner: why dont u downlaod a fresh ubuntu image frm ubuntu.com | 15:18 |
| === di[a]fic is now known as diafic | ||
| magnetron | InsClusoe: ok intel. their accelerated driver does not support video playback. | 15:18 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: Oops. Sorry.. It used to play earlier. I don't know if I messed up by installing some wrong package. | 15:18 |
| USN1520 | I believe that is the case | 15:18 |
| brunner | Technoid_India: because it's not the CD that's actually damaged. it's my cdrom. | 15:18 |
| bazhang | http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ_aMule pawan here is some reading for you | 15:18 |
| USN1520 | not sure though | 15:18 |
| brunner | Technoid_India: the drive, rather | 15:19 |
| Technoid_India | brunner: ohh...i see... | 15:19 |
| joshuah | hi | 15:19 |
| brunner | but it will read enough for me to get to this point with the live cd | 15:19 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: try disabling compiz. | 15:19 |
| joshuah | can someone help me? | 15:19 |
| brunner | it just has errors when it goes through the install | 15:19 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: ok.. | 15:19 |
| joshuah | i gotta question | 15:19 |
| alumno02 | i have ubuntu with ltsp, but clients havent sound, which steps i should follow to solve it? | 15:19 |
| Neeku | hi | 15:19 |
| goki_work | reikalusikka: Ok you need to clear some space on the panel, then right click on it and select "+add to panel...", then find "Notification Area" near the bottom of the list, click it and click "Add" | 15:19 |
| bazhang | ask away joshuah | 15:19 |
| reikalusikka | goki_work: I found it, in utilities | 15:19 |
| SpacePilot | Can't seem to find any information about what driver to install in gutsy for the use of a Audigy 2 zs soundcard? | 15:19 |
| USN1520 | brunner: so you don't have an up and running system? | 15:19 |
| reikalusikka | goki_work: thanks very much for your help | 15:19 |
| Neeku | i want to add a user to virtualbox; but it gives error; what should i do? | 15:19 |
| joshuah | ok i'm having trouble getting frostwire too work | 15:19 |
| joshuah | i downloaded it from there site | 15:20 |
| goki_work | reikalusikka: no problem | 15:20 |
| L3ttuc3 | Jouva i'm not terribly sure, but before loading the X server, DHCP will try to resolve an IP address for you, and if you haven't got your network hardware detected properly, etc, it might keep trying to resolve a network; i had a similar problem, but later during the install phase. try opening up one of the consoles to see what is going on? ctrl+alt 1, 2, 3, 4 - i forget which is used to display messages. | 15:20 |
| joshuah | when i click it | 15:20 |
| joshuah | it dont' run | 15:20 |
| joshuah | wat can i try? | 15:20 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: Hey.. now mplayer is playing the converted mpg. But without audio. | 15:20 |
| brunner | USN1520: that's correct. I'm using the live cd right now. | 15:20 |
| USN1520 | joshuah: what wrong wid it? | 15:20 |
| Kibbles | thanks USN1520and danbhfive | 15:20 |
| joshuah | um well it don't start up | 15:20 |
| joshuah | but then again | 15:20 |
| joshuah | it would be java | 15:20 |
| centyx | gar. | 15:20 |
| prince_jammys | !java | joshua | 15:20 |
| ubotu | joshua: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 15:20 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: i'm afraid that you cannot use video playback and compiz at the same time with an intel card. this is a flaw in the driver from intel. | 15:20 |
| USN1520 | so you haven't installed the system and you ran the check and it has errors, right? | 15:21 |
| joshuah | alright | 15:21 |
| magnetron | InsClusoe: try the flv video now | 15:21 |
| joshuah | thats wat i need | 15:21 |
| bazhang | joshuah: try gtk-gnutella instead | 15:21 |
| USN1520 | I had 37 errors shown on my disc check last night and | 15:21 |
| joshuah | i'm kinda new too this | 15:21 |
| prince_jammys | joshuah: sounds like it | 15:21 |
| USN1520 | it istalls just fine | 15:21 |
| joshuah | but i luv ubuntu | 15:21 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: vlc is playing the flv. But again, no audio.. | 15:21 |
| centyx | anyone know how i can find out which package adds group 'admin' to /etc/group? | 15:21 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: something wrong with my audio driver too? | 15:21 |
| Jouva | USN1520: 37? In a row? | 15:21 |
| brunner | okay, so I changed my apt sources. will that do the trick for the install? | 15:21 |
| joshuah | ya but first i need | 15:21 |
| joshuah | java before anything | 15:21 |
| joshuah | lol | 15:21 |
| bazhang | !info gtk-gnutella | joshuah | 15:21 |

| joshuah | i used too use freespire | 15:22 |
| brunner | that is, if I uncheck the CD-Rom and pick online sources, it will use the online apt repo for the source of packages during the install? | 15:22 |

| USN1520 | did you try running the install regardless | 15:23 |
| goldensun | sorry | 15:23 |
| InsClusoe | magnetron: that's probably why there is no audio when I play the mpg file. | 15:23 |
| deniz__ | but the files have sound! | 15:23 |
| bazhang | brunner: is this already installled and you want to update; or is it part of the initial installation? there is a minimal cd (around 9MB) that can get you going if you have a download cap | 15:23 |

| dgjones | !java | joshuah | 15:42 |
| ubotu | joshuah: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 15:42 |
| joshuah | i did look at that | 15:43 |

| joshuah | but ya i will need too after install a .deb | 15:44 |
| ubotu | joshuah: 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) | 15:44 |

| === kamasak1 is now known as KAMASAK | ||
| joshuah | ok in a terminal? | 15:47 |
| spaceninja | why use apt-get when you got synaptics? | 15:47 |
| prince_jammys | yes | 15:47 |
| dgjones | !synaptic | joshuah, If you're using Ubuntu, you'll have have synaptic | 15:47 |
| ubotu | joshuah, If you're using Ubuntu, you'll have have synaptic: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 15:47 |
| joshuah | because it came with apt get first | 15:47 |
| prince_jammys | because i can paste it here easily | 15:47 |
| luisa | System--> Administration --> Synaptic, if you are on Ubuntu | 15:47 |
| brobostigon | joshuah: in a terminal type. gksudo synaptic | 15:47 |
| joshuah | and its a new install lol | 15:47 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=628366 daz31 is your hardware or graphics similar to those in this post? 5500 nvidia card, athlon processor or the like? | 15:47 |
| spaceninja | so apt-get isn't synaptics? | 15:47 |
| Pici | spaceninja: They're all the same. | 15:47 |
| spaceninja | yeah but why use apt-get then? | 15:48 |
| Pici | spaceninja: They all use apt to get stuff from the repositories, just different front ends. | 15:48 |
| spaceninja | isn't ubuntu all about being point and click? | 15:48 |
| luisa | I use apt-get because I hate GUI... it's all a personal preference... :) | 15:48 |
| Pici | spaceninja: I find it faster to type apt-get install package than to open up a program. | 15:48 |
| joshuah | no ubuntu is all about install it urself | 15:48 |
| luisa | What Pici said | 15:48 |
| spaceninja | luisa: If you hate guis, get arch linux | 15:48 |
| joshuah | and learn lol | 15:48 |
| dgjones | spaceninja, one is command line, the has a graphical system, not everybody used a graphical system - eg server installs | 15:48 |
| prince_jammys | spaceninja: they are the same thing ... it's a matter of preference, and it's easier to communicate command line in irc | 15:48 |
| brunner | so by adjust the apt sources on the live cd, the installer will use the new sources, right? | 15:48 |
| gavin__ | can I upgrade from feisty to gutsy gibbon with a gutsy cd and not an alternate cd | 15:49 |
| luisa | Well, for some things it's easier and faster to point and click, for other things such as say, apt-get install firefox, that's faster than doing a stupid search in Synaptic, but Joshuah needs help so... *zip!* | 15:49 |
| joshuah | man yall need too go too a easy linux | 15:49 |
| joshuah | if u dont' no ubuntu | 15:49 |
| joshuah | lol | 15:49 |
| luisa | Awww but I love my Ubuntu Studio... *hugs Ubutu :3* | 15:49 |
| bazhang | sknh well you have feisty backports in there but they are commented out--should be okay to run just curious why they are there--might want to completely remove them just to be totally safe | 15:50 |

| daz31 | bazhang: nope I have a basic intel 1mb graphics card 256mb the install of gutsy is from a cd 3 days ago havent had a successful shutdown yet | 15:50 |
| daz31 | 256mb=memory | 15:50 |
| joshuah | daz get off 256 mb's | 15:50 |
| faileas | joshuah: probablt best to go for the basic version and add things as you need them | 15:50 |
| joshuah | get more memory | 15:50 |
| joshuah | lol | 15:50 |
| sknh | bazhang, I upgraded from Fiesty to Gutsy. May be that's the reason they are there | 15:50 |
| daz31 | :) | 15:50 |
| bazhang | joshuah: how about using tab completion and the enter key a bit less | 15:50 |
| bazhang | sknh it seems that you should be okay then looking at your sources list | 15:51 |
| joshuah | if u say so bazhang | 15:51 |

| * luisa goes out for her needed coffee :P | 15:53 | |
| prince_jammys | !alternative | gavin__ | 15:53 |
| ubotu | gavin__: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 15:53 |
| joshuah | wine or cross over linux i'm telling ya thats wat u need | 15:53 |

| spaceninja | my cat is lost :( | 15:55 |

| bob__ | Bad_boy, after all processes are killed Gnome or KDE or whatever window manager you use should restart | 16:07 |
| han_123 | how can i install VMware in ubuntu?(newbie here) | 16:07 |
| ss_ | ^CatMan^: You mean I will have to paste it in bash profile ok I do it. Thnx for reply | 16:07 |
| brunner | bazhang: I'm running off of the live cd, which is obviously not the minimal cd. There is only one cd drive that I can boot from, and I'm using it now. | 16:08 |
| bazhang | was it alt sysreq reisub? that has never worked for me though | 16:08 |
| franke | hi all | 16:08 |
| prince_jammys | bazhang: yes that restarts everything, even more radical | 16:08 |
| daz31 | does ubuntu use less cpu that win xp? | 16:08 |
| luisa | My Ubuntu does! xD | 16:08 |
| prince_jammys | bazhang: dont remember if you need ctrl in there also | 16:08 |
| gdfuego | hey folks, I'm looking to find out what the chances are of bugs 153210 and 159020 being corrected in Gutsy at some point soon? | 16:08 |
| brunner | daz31: it all depends on what you're doing, but I'd imagine that the consensus here it that ubuntu uses less. | 16:09 |
| gdfuego | They're both the same sisue. pidgin doesn't send jabber passwords unless you tell it to save them | 16:09 |
| bazhang | brunner I would suggest trying the minimal burn again--it seems that you burned it at the wrong speed or the media itself is faulty | 16:09 |
| nonnii | bullgard4, "grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf" | 16:09 |
| ^CatMan^ | Bad_boy: there are also other virtual terminals accessed thru "alt+F[1-6]"... if linux freezes, u can use these other virtuial terminals to kill the nonresponsive program :) | 16:09 |
| gdfuego | so you need to store your password if you want to authenticate to a jabber server | 16:09 |
| bazhang | prince_jammys: right you are--forgot about that ;] | 16:09 |

| nonnii | yes | 16:13 |
| Ltlbgr67 | can someone help this newbie? | 16:13 |
| ejer | Ace_NoOne: you can just leave it as fat | 16:13 |
| Bad_boy | catman thanks for that | 16:13 |
| brobostigon | Ace_NoOne: a file system both linux and windows understands, probebely ntfs is the best option | 16:13 |
| ^CatMan^ | Ltlbgr67: eith what? | 16:13 |
| gavin__ | my openoffice base does not work properly in feisty, can i upgrade from the gusty cd. If yes, how | 16:13 |
| prince_jammys | !anyone | Ltlbgr67 | 16:13 |
| ubotu | Ltlbgr67: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 16:13 |
| ^CatMan^ | Bad_boy: np :) | 16:13 |
| luisa | Ace_NoOne why not NTFS? | 16:13 |
| Ltlbgr67 | is there a way to edit the shutdown procedure to cancel pending print jobs? | 16:13 |
| Ace_NoOne | brobostigon / luisa: I remember there used to be issues with NTFS under Linux - not anymore? | 16:14 |
| Ltlbgr67 | or create a icon to click to run terminal comm and | 16:14 |
| bullgard4 | nonnii: Thank you very much. | 16:14 |
| nonnii | bullgard4, you will get bettr performance with either radeon, ati or fglrx drivers | 16:14 |
| kostkon | SpacePilot, i think your card is supported by alsa already. you don't need any driver | 16:14 |
| brobostigon | Ace_NoOne: no problem anymore, look up ntfs3g | 16:14 |
| luisa | Ace_NoOne, not anymore... atleast I haven't had any. I don't need to, but I use NTFS on my USB drive.. write to it, FTP to it... never had a problem :) | 16:14 |
| Ace_NoOne | cool - thanks guys | 16:14 |
| Ace_NoOne | and gals :) | 16:14 |
| luisa | ^_^ | 16:14 |
| noodlesgc | gavin__ yes you can upgrade using the cd but you need the alternate cd | 16:15 |
| nonnii | bullgard4, you have to ask someone else for help with those if you need it | 16:15 |
| ejer | Ace_NoOne: you can also use ext2/3 there is windows driver, works fine | 16:15 |
| ^CatMan^ | ejer: i didn't think windows can read the ext2/3 file systems | 16:16 |
| ejer | with a driver they can, just like linux can read ntfs | 16:16 |
| gavin__ | noodlesgc_I am on dial-up so I cant download the iso, would I have to install gutsy instead? | 16:16 |
| luisa | I'd probably use the FS of the OS I use the most: If Im going to use Win more often, then make the drive NTFS, if using *nix more, then use EXT3.. better benefits, me thinks | 16:16 |
| dgjones | ^CatMan^, http://www.fs-driver.org/ lets windows access ext2/3 formatted drives | 16:16 |
| sdsheeks | Anyone know of a suitable application to work with Microsoft project files in Linux? | 16:16 |
| ejer | ^CatMan^: http://www.fs-driver.org/ | 16:17 |
| ^CatMan^ | ejer: well i knew that linux can read the ntfs and fat file systems :) | 16:17 |
| ejer | oops | 16:17 |
| prince_jammys | Ltlbgr67: if you want to create a launcher icon that runs a command, i think you can do that in Preferences->Menu Editor and add item. check if that works | 16:17 |
| noodlesgc | gavin__ so you just want to upgrade openoffice? | 16:17 |
| ejer | good stuff ^CatMan^ | 16:17 |
| ^CatMan^ | hmmm... cool | 16:17 |

| Docfxit | How can I enable universe repositories | 16:17 |
| Ace_NoOne | ejer: yeah, but I won't always be able to install the drivers on any workstation I'm on | 16:17 |
| ejer | Ace_NoOne: there is a reason they use FAT... | 16:17 |
| ejer | and it is what you just said | 16:18 |
| luisa | Docfxit System>Administration>Software Sources | 16:18 |
| Ace_NoOne | ejer: "they"? | 16:18 |
| ejer | because you will have to install ntfs-3g on every linux system you want to use it on | 16:18 |
| Ace_NoOne | also, the Windows XP system I'm on right now didn't let me choose FAT32 | 16:18 |
| Neeku | hi | 16:18 |
| ejer | Ace_NoOne: people who make external drives | 16:18 |
| luisa | Hi Neeku :) | 16:18 |

| SpacePilot | Ubuntu 7.10 detects my Autidyg 2 ZS, but no sound is entering my headphones? | 16:19 |

| Pici | Neeku: You may want to ask that in #vbox :) | 16:19 |
| ^CatMan^ | Neeku: is the disk ur bootin from bootable? | 16:19 |
| Neeku | ^CatMan^: yes | 16:19 |
| Ace_NoOne | thanks ejer - I guess I'll try it with NTFS first tho (FAT32 is so ... ancient) | 16:19 |
| gavin__ | noodlesgc_OK thanks. I will give it a go. | 16:20 |
| kostkon | SpacePilot, did you check your volume levels? | 16:20 |
| ^CatMan^ | Ace_NoOne: IF i were gonna run windows, i'd want the fat32 f/s | 16:20 |
| ejer | NTFS is pretty old too, that is considered good for a FS :) | 16:20 |
| drago | ciao | 16:20 |
| Ace_NoOne | ^CatMan^: why | 16:20 |
| Ace_NoOne | ejer: but is has restrictions (no files >4 GB IIRC) | 16:21 |
| Ace_NoOne | FAT32 that is | 16:21 |
| ejer | fat32 is the only one you can plug into mac, linux or windows, and have it work | 16:21 |
| Ace_NoOne | Mac - pfui! ;) | 16:21 |
| ^CatMan^ | Ace_NoOne: i prefer fat32 to ntfs, personal choice | 16:21 |
| * luisa is wondering how to enable Next/Previous buttons on her Logitech mouse to work with Amarok (shortcut config didnt work) *ponder* Volume up/down works, why won't those :P | 16:21 | |

| prince_jammys | !lamp | mysterycool | 16:37 |
| 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+) | 16:37 |
| mysterycool | checked that one | 16:37 |
| ejer | Le-Chuck_ITA: no syslinux, grub | 16:37 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: can you browse to localhost? | 16:38 |
| ltsampros | guys one quick question. i have added packages via apt-get from unofficial repos like ppa.launchpad.net and a coouple of others. Is it possible to remove with an automated way all the packages by these repos? (and leave the original/gutsy 7.10 packages intact)? | 16:38 |
| mysterycool | prince_jammys: no | 16:38 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | grub? ejer do you have docs? | 16:38 |
| ejer | i just posted your link Le-Chuck_ITA | 16:38 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | oh sorry :) | 16:38 |
| mysterycool | wtf? | 16:38 |
| ejer | there are many ways to do it | 16:38 |
| mysterycool | prince_jamys: i can browse now :s | 16:38 |
| Le-Chuck_ITA | thanks ejer | 16:39 |
| mysterycool | prince_jamys: where can i access phpmyadmin/mysql and my websites | 16:39 |
| mysterycool | ? | 16:39 |
| ejer | phpmyadmin is not installed by default | 16:39 |
| ejer | and you will need to set up your virtual hosts if you have more than one site | 16:40 |
| psycholvlan | ok got 1 question | 16:40 |
| psycholvlan | what is this Super button that is under settings? | 16:40 |
| bascule | ltsampros: synaptics allows that, software sources, untick them | 16:40 |
| youngmusi1 | Is this a known error? During installation, when writing the partition table, i get the message "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda". I tried this with 3 different sata disks, all new ones. | 16:40 |
| cicero_b | secure ftp server in ubuntu -- hard? | 16:40 |
| psycholvlan | keeps saying like Super+s or so on | 16:40 |
| Pici | psycholvlan: Your 'windows' button | 16:40 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: good | 16:40 |
| ejer | cicero_b: it is installed with ssh | 16:41 |
| psycholvlan | the one that opens up the start menu in windows? | 16:41 |
| Pici | psycholvlan: Yes | 16:41 |
| psycholvlan | ty | 16:41 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: you many then have to configure mysql. i have done this, but i dont remember the steps. then again, maybe it works for you now ... | 16:41 |
| cicero_b | ejer: cool -- how can i see if it is running (daemon)? | 16:41 |
| prasanna | hey guys, i used to use adobe professional a lot in windows to modify my pdfs | 16:41 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: sounds like a problem with disk order | 16:41 |
| mysterycool | !lamp | 16:41 |
| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

| ejer | cicero_b: if you installed ssh it starts up when someone connects | 16:41 |
| prasanna | is there an alternative i can use for ubuntu? | 16:42 |
| mysterycool | ah lol ty anw :p | 16:42 |
| cicero_b | ejer: how can i configure it? | 16:42 |
| ejer | cicero_b: for what, what do you want to do | 16:42 |
| cicero_b | i want to send files to my remove computer from a windows machine (securely) | 16:43 |
| youngmusi1 | ejer: how do you mean? Disks are ordered automaticly with sata. I can't do anything about it, can i? | 16:43 |
| luisa | Ahhh :) Amarok tells me my techno song was released in the year 1408 *giggles* | 16:43 |
| ejer | cicero_b: it is already setup, have you tried it? read this for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol | 16:43 |
| cicero_b | so my ftp host is just my ip address? | 16:43 |
| rindolf | Hi all. | 16:43 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: BIOS lets you re-order disks, and grub doesn't always see them in same order | 16:43 |
| luisa | hello rindolf | 16:43 |
| ejer | cicero_b: ftp != sftp | 16:43 |
| prasanna | anyone know an alternative to adobe pro for ubuntu? | 16:44 |
| prince_jammys | luisa: must be that gregorian chant song that was popular a few years back | 16:44 |
| rindolf | How do I allow a different user to start X applications in my desktop - permanently? | 16:44 |
| ejer | cicero_b: an easy way is to use konqueror, use address 'sftp://youruser@you.ip.add.ress' | 16:44 |
| Shinji- | prasanna, pdftk (but it's commandline) | 16:44 |
| ejer | prasanna: openoffice will let you export to PDF, so anything you make in there is possibly a PDF | 16:45 |
| cicero_b | here is my problem -- i am using dreamweaver on windows and i want to connect to my webserver -- they force ftp, i want to do it securely | 16:45 |
| prasanna | well i have pdfs that need to be modified | 16:45 |
| ejer | cicero_b: ftp is insecure | 16:45 |
| prasanna | lecture notes for class are in pdf format | 16:45 |
| luisa | OMG.... I just installed Guild Wars via Wine, it was so easy (click, click done) ... it runs flawlessly.. :O I'm so mad I was ever using Windows xD | 16:45 |
| prasanna | so i would use adobe to modify and edit them (add extra notes) and then save and print it when i'm done | 16:46 |
| cicero_b | i am not sure what login to use -- standard user accounts for ubuntu? how could i restrict access per sftp user? | 16:46 |
| ejer | prasanna: found this http://www.howtoforge.com/editing_pdf_files_pdfedit_ubuntu_feisty | 16:46 |
| ejer | cicero_b: you are going to need to read up on ssh and configs... this gets more complex than I can explain in a chat room | 16:47 |
| prasanna | k let me check that out | 16:47 |
| ejer | cicero_b: the website you need to upload to is not yours, right? | 16:47 |
| cicero_b | ejer: it is my website .. . | 16:47 |
| ejer | ie you do not control the machine | 16:47 |
| cicero_b | both machines sit right next to me -- but one has a web-ip and the other is on my lan | 16:48 |
| ejer | cicero_b: if ssh is installed on it and you have a valid user that can login, you are set | 16:48 |
| ejer | ok, so do what I said with konqueror you should be fine | 16:48 |
| Sliss | cicero_b try using scp | 16:48 |
| Ithappens | If i install the xfire plugin deb on pidgeon, is there anything else i should do after the fact? because i wont show up | 16:48 |
| ejer | cicero_b: from command line you can also use 'scp thisfile youruser@yourothermachine:/home/youruser/' | 16:48 |
| cicero_b | yeah -- oh, that might be a good option -- can i use sshfs to connect to a windows directory -- then it could look like a local drive . . . | 16:49 |
| Sliss | 1275 user on an irc is insane | 16:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | prasanna: are you using Gutsy? | 16:50 |
| cicero_b | would i have to use cygwin or something like that . . . | 16:50 |
| ejer | cicero_b: no, not unless the windows machine is running ssh | 16:50 |
| Sliss | how can you follow a discussion ;-) | 16:50 |

| IndyGunFreak | prasanna: i'm almost positive it works w/ codeweavers, but you'd have to pay for that. | 16:53 |
| prasanna | ohh | 16:53 |
| Shinji- | prasanna, if you install latest wine it should work | 16:53 |
| prasanna | how much? | 16:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | prasanna: hmm, i can't remember... http://www.codeweavers.com | 16:54 |
| prasanna | 60 bucks :| | 16:54 |
| prasanna | i'll pass | 16:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | prasanna: i think thats for the pro version. i was thinking it was around $39 | 16:54 |
| adamb | latest wine will work with adobe. | 16:54 |
| prasanna | adobe 7.0? | 16:55 |
| prasanna | or latest adobe 8.0 | 16:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | prasanna: no, Crossover.. its $39 | 16:55 |

| brobostigon | isnt crossover basiclly wine,wine is free crossover is not free?? | 16:56 |
| ejer | note we don't have those new wine packages yet | 16:56 |

| SpacePilot | Nice. The trioubleshoot guide made the computer crash. | 17:16 |
| Jouva | prince_jammys: BTW, check out nautilus-gksu, which helps do what you suggested (running nautilus with gksu) as a plugin feature of nautilus | 17:16 |
| Plight | I don't have much choice right now, though, what do you suggest? | 17:16 |
| ejer | psycholvlan: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=611719 | 17:16 |
| prince_jammys | Jouva: ah, i thought just gksudo nautilus | 17:17 |
| ejer | Plight: http://drop.io/ is decent | 17:17 |
| dr3k | nect | 17:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | prince_jammys: thats pretty much all you need to do | 17:17 |
| mysterycool | jouva: i did what u said and it didnt create the file. instead something changed in the terminal and it has some new commands like ^K copy ^G for help but none is working :s help plz | 17:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | !gksudo | prince_jammys | 17:17 |
| ubotu | prince_jammys: 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) | 17:17 |
| prince_jammys | right | 17:17 |
| prince_jammys | was a tip to someone else | 17:17 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: It's an editor. I assume you said "creating" as in you want to start typing and editing | 17:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok. | 17:17 |
| crush_groove | cannot move nor resize any app or window that I open any suggestions ? | 17:17 |
| psycholvlan | ty ejer | 17:17 |
| prince_jammys | im a kdesudo kind of guy :) | 17:18 |
| mysterycool | jouva: i mean creating the something.php then editing it via the Text Editor -_- | 17:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | crush_groove: turn compiz off, see if that helps | 17:18 |
| crush_groove | IndyGunFreak, I completely removed it | 17:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | crush_groove: turn desktop effects off. | 17:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | system/prefs/appearance/DE tab | 17:19 |
| flipmode | how do i enable mp3 support for k3b?? | 17:19 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: nano _is_ a text editor :) You were approaching this the wrong way. Did you just want to do stuff through nautilus to make the directory and create the file in the end? | 17:19 |
| jpatrick | flipmode: install libk3b2-mp3 | 17:19 |
| mysterycool | jouva: all i want is to create the something.php then go to the directory it was created in -> right click -> Open with text editor >.> | 17:19 |
| Pici | mysterycool: Navigate to /var/www/ in Nautilus then | 17:20 |
| crush_groove | IndyGunFreak, there is nothing there ..its very much like what you would see in a windows setup .. I have "none" set for dt | 17:20 |
| flipmode | jpatrick: thank you sir. | 17:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | crush_groove: have you trid restarting X?... | 17:21 |
| mid5 | Hi morning, anyone know some like google desktop for ubuntu?, I installed kat but i don't like, it has some errors | 17:21 |
| crush_groove | IndyGunFreak, yes | 17:22 |
| mysterycool | aaah wtf is going on?? | 17:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | crush_groove: hmm, i really don't know, thats almost always a compiz/desktop effects issue. | 17:22 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: Ok answer me this :) | 17:22 |
| mysterycool | how i just create a simple file via the terminal?? | 17:23 |
| crush_groove | as I thought | 17:23 |
| mysterycool | \ | 17:23 |
| mysterycool | 17:23 | |
| Jouva | mysterycool: First, hit ctrl-x to exit out ot nano | 17:23 |
| TurtleOfDoom | mysterycool: nano filename.txt | 17:23 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: you want to create a php script and save it correct? | 17:23 |
| Jouva | TurtleOfDoom: No don't go there :) Trust me he didn't want that | 17:23 |
| mysterycool | yes and then being able to open it by the Text Editor | 17:23 |
| Jouva | mysterycool | 17:23 |
| Jouva | I've got you :) | 17:23 |
| mysterycool | ? | 17:23 |
| Jouva | Just listen to me for 2 minutes ok? | 17:24 |
| mysterycool | ok | 17:24 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: First, Ctrl-X to close nano. | 17:24 |
| mysterycool | closed it already | 17:24 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: sudo nano /var/www/script_name.php and then ctrl-x to save your changes | 17:24 |
| mysterycool | and the damn file that was created cannot be deleted! :@ | 17:24 |
| wilsonr | I'm having trouble with my networking. ifconfig shows "eth0:avah". What is that? | 17:24 |
| crush_groove | I may need to reinstall | 17:24 |
| Jouva | mysterycool! Hold on! Shush! | 17:24 |
| mysterycool | k | 17:24 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: everything you create in that folder has to be edited as superuser | 17:24 |
| SpacePilot | Easiest way to get Firefox to look like Firefox under windows? Right now it looks like shit? :S | 17:25 |
| Jouva | prince_jammys: I'm going to fix that for him ;) | 17:25 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: you cannot edit/delete/add files to that folder as normal user | 17:25 |
| Jouva | prince_jammys: Shhh, I'm going to fix that for him ;) | 17:25 |
| prince_jammys | Jouva: change permissions on /var/www? | 17:25 |
| Jouva | Don't confuse him anymore | 17:25 |
| Jouva | prince_jammys: He wanted a sub directory. | 17:25 |
| artti | Having another problem. How i change folder permissions/owner? Should i log in as root? | 17:25 |
| Jouva | So the SUB directory will be like that. PLus I'll tell him about nautilus-gksu | 17:26 |
| Adyeths | Whats the trick to making compiz-fusion automatically load when rebooting ubuntu? I already tried repeatedly changing the settings in the Appearance dialog but it doesn't seem to keep them. | 17:26 |
| Slart | artti: never log in as root.. use sudo | 17:26 |
| prince_jammys | artti: no | 17:26 |
| higgylm | --compiz replace | 17:26 |
| Slart | !sudo | artti | 17:26 |
| ubotu | artti: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 17:26 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: Ok. You told me you wanted to do this in the TERMINAL. Not in the GUI. I don't know why you said you needed to use the terminal | 17:26 |
| mysterycool | jouva: i wanted to use the terminal to CREATE the file. i want to edit it in gui | 17:27 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: WHy did you need to create it in the terminal? | 17:27 |
| artti | ubotu, but how i change folder owner? | 17:27 |
| Slart | artti: chown changes ownership | 17:27 |
| mysterycool | jouva: just wanna learn how to get along with unix commands ;) | 17:27 |
| ejer | mysterycool: sudo touch/var/www/yourfile.php && gksudo gedit /var/www/yourfile.php | 17:27 |
| TurtleOfDoom | artti: ubotu is a bot | 17:27 |
| Slart | artti: and chmod changes permissions.. | 17:28 |
| ejer | woops mysterycool space after touch | 17:28 |
| mysterycool | :p | 17:28 |
| Slart | artti: so.. to change owner of a file that belongs to root you use sudo chown bla bla bla .. check the man page for the bla bla bla stuff.. I don't know it by heart =) | 17:28 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: linuxcommand.org | 17:28 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: Oh. Well then I'll tell you how it all works :) But FYI, nano is a text-based text editor. All of those commands at the bottom are ways of writing, searching, etc. "^O" means Ctrl-O which is a way of writing the file. | 17:28 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: really, you want to get acquainted with a tutorial | 17:29 |
| rastapopulus | hello! can somebody help me with vpnc? | 17:29 |

| Polarina | How do I take a screenshot in Xubuntu? I'm trying to instruct a friend of mine through instant text messaging without access to a Xubuntu installation. | 17:30 |
| USN1520 | OK so the dpkg was cool, but if you have no internet connection you cannot apt-get | 17:30 |
| geekahedron | how do i change it so i don't have to manually `modprobe ndiswrapper` every time i reboot, for my wireless to work | 17:30 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: To simply CREATE an empty file and nothing else, you can do that a few ways, but the most common is using "touch". "touch" is a command that's used to update an existing file's date/time stamp (i.e.: you touched it but didn't change its contents) but a side affect is that it creates the file if it doesn't exist. | 17:30 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: in that site you will learn basic commands for browsing your file system, copying files, etc. | 17:30 |
| mysterycool | jigs: use emulator such as qemu or virtual machine or vmware | 17:30 |
| rastapopulus | Slart: vpnc | 17:30 |
| mysterycool | !qemu | jigs | 17:30 |
| ubotu | jigs: qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 17:30 |
| Slart | massisimo: noone will be able to answer a question like that.. describe why you feel it's not working.. are there errormessages.. have you tried googling for those error messages.. how did you install it? etc etc | 17:30 |
| Jigs | ok tnx guys | 17:30 |
| gatestone | Is anyone willing to test Skype video? | 17:30 |
| gatestone | This is my Skype nick, too. Try calling now. | 17:30 |
| gatestone | I think this works, and Skype actually recognizes my MS webcam. | 17:30 |
| gatestone | So Skype video with MS webcam...on Linux ;-) | 17:31 |
| gatestone | But I must say that microphone settings and the ALSA mixer are really hard to understand. | 17:31 |
| Slart | !enter | gatestone | 17:31 |
| ubotu | gatestone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 17:31 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: HOWEVER you'd still run into issues with permissions because the files (in this case) needed to be created with sudo due to the permissions on /var/www and therefore you have one of three things you must do. | 17:31 |
| danand_ | Jigs - I use virtual box for running a number of OS's in ubuntu. Never tried Windows though! I've found it very easy to use and set up :) | 17:32 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: 1) chown the directory and/or file 2) gksudo gedit 3) Install the nautilus-gksu package so that you can open any folder as an admin via gksudo automatically | 17:32 |
| aDocuhe | what is the integral of (e^x - e^-x)/2 dx? | 17:32 |

| ubotu | aDocuhe: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 17:32 |
| Pici | aDocuhe: Try #math | 17:32 |
| aDocuhe | Pici, thanks | 17:32 |
| geekahedron | when i reboot, i have to open terminal and `sudo modprobe ndiswrapper` for the wireless connection to even show up, then i have to open network properties and change settings until it is "updating netowrk configuration" before it actually works. and i cannot get it to work in roaming mode at all, i need to enter a manual essid every time. | 17:33 |
| Jouva | ...oh I thought his name said "a douche" til I re-read it for the 5th time. | 17:33 |
| rastapopulus | "can't initialise tunnel interface: Device or resource busy" what can i do? | 17:33 |
| mysterycool | :p | 17:33 |
| ejer | geekahedron: you could try adding ndiswrapper to /etc/modules | 17:33 |
| rastapopulus | "vpnc-connect: can't initialise tunnel interface: Device or resource busy" what can i do? | 17:33 |
| W8TAH | ive a video file that came to me in a bunch of parts --- im using cat to put it back together (its an AVI) however one part is missing, and i want it to just skip that part and continue when it plays back, howerver it always fails -- is there a remedy? | 17:33 |
| ejer | W8TAH: after cat-ing them, run mencoder -forceidx ...... | 17:34 |
| W8TAH | ejer, thanks! | 17:34 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: One of those will work. But yeah. The reason I told you to use nano was I figured you wanted to start typing in the command line. touch lets you simply create the file. Also works with something like... | 17:34 |
| Jouva | echo > file.txt | 17:34 |
| Slart | W8TAH: I think you might have to reindex the file.. or whatever it's called.. try opening it with vlc, sometimes it offers to do those things | 17:34 |
| gatestone | Is there anyone a readable explanation of all the zillion "devices" that ALSA lets me to "mix". Which ones do I really have to use, with a laptop with no external audio gear? | 17:34 |
| ejer | W8TAH: try using avidemux, really cool app for this | 17:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: did you add ndiswrapper to modprobe?.. thats the only thing i can think of. | 17:34 |
| W8TAH | oh - ok | 17:34 |
| ejer | W8TAH: but your way is cooler, just a good app for future | 17:35 |
| Polarina | How do I take a screenshot in Xubuntu? I'm trying to instruct a friend of mine through instant text messaging without access to a Xubuntu installation. | 17:35 |
| mysterycool | jouva: ok to sum up everything, how i just create (touch) the file as root? | 17:35 |
| ejer | mysterycool: sudo touch /var/www/yourfile.php | 17:35 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak: where do i do that? | 17:36 |
| ejer | Polarina: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=553015 | 17:36 |
| ejer | Polarina: print screen, then paste in gfx app | 17:36 |
| Slart | Polarina: I think print screen works | 17:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: not really sure, but i seem to remember needing to do that, its usually in most instructions though to do it. | 17:37 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: Exactly what ejer said... BUT you can't open it with gedit unless you run gedit as root. Hence you need one of the three options I mentioned above. | 17:37 |
| ejer | mysterycool: sudo touch /var/www/yourfile.php && gksudo gedit /var/www/yourfile.php :) | 17:37 |
| Jigs | ok guys tnx for the info... gtg | 17:37 |
| gatestone | Polarina: you shoul also have Applications -> Accessories -> Take screenshot | 17:37 |
| rastapopulus | no one there who can help configure vpnc? | 17:38 |
| Jouva | ejer: he's new to the command line so I'm helping him in one of three ways | 17:38 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak: i know how to blacklist something, i don't know that i've ever seen how to manually *add* something, other than the /etc/modules file if that's what you mean | 17:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: i meant modules, not modprobe, sorry | 17:38 |
| ejer | Jouva: gotcha, but that is the command he wants I think | 17:38 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak: should i enter the line as "ndiswrapper" or "modprobe ndiswrapper" | 17:39 |
| danand_ | geekahedron - just add the line ndiswrapper to /etc/modules - this should then load that module at boot time | 17:39 |
| mysterycool | ok unix can get complicated :p | 17:39 |
| Jouva | ejer: Yeah but I was going to suggest making the file and/or directory owned by him, doing what you suggested, OR pointing him to nautilus-gksu so he can just open the directory with nautilus as super user | 17:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | geekahedron: i told you i realy don't know, i just remember reading it, look at danand_'s comment | 17:39 |
| danand_ | geekahedron, IndyGunFreak - Bit late :) | 17:39 |
| Tristan_ | I am having trouble with wireless network on a fresh 7.1 install on a hp pavillion notebook (broadcom 4311 wireless chip) | 17:39 |
| ejer | Jouva: that won't work well with apache | 17:39 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: No, you're just trying to mix the command line and GUI too much :) Use one or the other for the majority of your work, not both at the same time :) | 17:40 |
| danand_ | geekahedron - no just as ndiswrapper | 17:40 |
| Tristan_ | I recompiled ndiswrapper and the light is showing the device is working | 17:40 |
| mysterycool | jouva: now that i created the file how can i give with a sudo command to myself permissions so i wont have to do the sudo everytime? | 17:40 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: to do anything as root from the command line you do sudo <your command> to run non command line apps as root, you do gksudo <name of app, eg gedit> in a terminal and it will open the app as root. | 17:40 |
| aoupi | mysterycool: what you really want to do is edit/create a php script in /var/www? all you need to do is run gksu gedit and save it in /var/www | 17:40 |
| geekahedron | danand_, IndyGunFreak: okay, i'll see if the rest of it works when ndiswrapper is loaded at boot time | 17:40 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, you are using ndiswrapper for wireless too ? | 17:40 |
| tux_ | iam installing ubuntu 7.10 now on my new laptop.. how long shall it stand on detecting hardware pleas wait.. 15min now | 17:40 |
| danand_ | geekahedron - luck! | 17:40 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: not recommended | 17:40 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: that's all i'm using it for atm | 17:40 |
| mysterycool | prince_jammys: y? | 17:41 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: if you want to run a server, leave it owned by root | 17:41 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, working or no ? | 17:41 |
| mysterycool | k | 17:41 |
| Tristan_ | sorry just stepped in | 17:41 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: You shouldn't. You really shouldn't try to get around sudo. HOWEVER this is where nautilus-gksu comes in. | 17:41 |

| youngmusi1 | got a strange problem here. Yesterday evening my system suddenly refused to boot. I started from the rescue cd and more than half of my raid partitions were gone. I tried to reinstall today and got stuck on the message "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda". (with the partitioner) I thought the disk would be broken, but i tried 3 different new disks now, and all give the same error. Any ideas? | 17:41 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, having trouble with same thing I am guessing | 17:41 |
| mamo | hallo | 17:42 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: yes, it's working, for the most part .. now i just want to get it going as "roaming" so i don't have to manually enter the essid | 17:42 |
| Cew27 | hey every one does anybody know how effective the wipe nautilus script is | 17:42 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: if this is a big nuisance, create the files as you normally would and then copy them to /var/www as root | 17:42 |
| mamo | kimse yohmi | 17:42 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: if you want to troubleshoot, unplug all drives but target drive | 17:42 |
| aoupi | Cew27: I recommend you use encryption for secret stuff | 17:42 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, and the network settings dialog is working for you ? | 17:42 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, and the network settings dialog is working for you ? | 17:43 |
| geekahedron | IndyGunFreak, danand_: it did initialize properly at startup now, with my saved essid, thanks. the "roaming" wireless is a different issue | 17:43 |
| Tristan_ | oops | 17:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | hmm | 17:43 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: wow this is awkward talking about this, anyhoo is it sucre using hte wipe script | 17:43 |
| Jouva | mysterycool: If you simply want to use the GUI to make changes to a directory or file that's owned by another user (including root), then you can install nautilus-gksu as a plugin for nautilus so that you only have to right click the directory and choose "Open as administrator" and then you have full permissions. What prince_jammys also works for less hastle with this particular instance. | 17:43 |
| sdsheeks | anyone here been able to get outlook 2003 to work with crossover? | 17:43 |

| ejer | youngmusi1: u r using onboard sata? | 17:44 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: once i installed the drivers and activated ndiswrapper, i got my wireless to show up in the network settings box, yes. i had to turn off roaming mode and enter my network's essid before it would actually connect, though | 17:44 |
| aoupi | Cew27: http://abaababa.ouvaton.org/wipe/wipe.1.html see important warning section | 17:44 |

| youngmusi1 | ejer: yes | 17:44 |
| Tristan_ | hmmm, I got the driver seems to be working, detects networks, just cant authenticate password :-/ | 17:44 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: you should def have drive order somewhere | 17:44 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, aha, using dhcp and what authentication type ? | 17:44 |
| aoupi | Cew27: "Wiping over NFS or over a journalling filesystem (ReiserFS etc.) will most probably not work" that part in particular, since I assume you use either ReiserFS or ext3, both being journaled | 17:44 |

| aoupi | ejer: because the nautilus wipe scirpt is just a frontend for wipe | 17:45 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, which laptop you have ? | 17:45 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: mine has no password so i don't know. i have it set as 'wpa personal' with blank password, using dhcp | 17:45 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: thats it will it work with ubunt | 17:45 |
| ejer | aoupi: k i don't know the nautilus one | 17:45 |

| Tristan_ | ok | 17:46 |
| mysterycool | ok thanks guys | 17:46 |
| mysterycool | btw, one last thing. how do i create a new databse in mysql? | 17:46 |
| prince_jammys | mysterycool: as an aside to all this, the thing is that you are trying to learn many things at the same time. you want to learn 1) basic shell commands, 2) unix permissions 3) how to run a server. i recommend that you read tutorials for each in that order, and it wont be as annoying | 17:46 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, you know what chip ? (broadcom here) | 17:46 |
| ejer | mysterycool: mysqladmin is one way | 17:46 |
| mysterycool | ejer: i am in there | 17:46 |
| youngmusi1 | ejer: no. It's just listing 4 sata slots. The first one contains my disk, the other 3 are empty. And i can change IDE mode and such. | 17:46 |
| mysterycool | ejer: but cant see any option for create databse :S | 17:47 |
| mysterycool | ? | 17:47 |
| Cew27 | anybody know of a good program/bootable cd that will wipe my hardrive fully | 17:47 |
| ejer | mysterycool: http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/mysql-cheatsheet.html | 17:47 |

| Tristan_ | geekahedron, Ill give her another go, but I have to boot up ubuntu | 17:47 |
| ejer | Cew27: DBAN | 17:47 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, ah same chip exactly | 17:47 |
| EADG | Cew27: dd or wipe will | 17:47 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, brb | 17:48 |
| k4k | Anyone have a kernel recommendation for use with a Pentium 3 system? It says I'm using the generic i686 kernel, is there one more optimized for a P3 or did it use the right one from the start? | 17:48 |
| Cew27 | EADG: wipe isnt effective on ubuntu thaugh | 17:48 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: if you download the windows driver from dell and unzip the .exe you should be able to load the .inf from there | 17:48 |
| aoupi | Cew27: you can do it from the ubuntu livecd, just run "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1" replace sda1 with the partition you want wiped | 17:48 |
| ejer | k4k: generic is for pretty much everything | 17:48 |
| aoupi | Cew27: that will erase EVERYTHING on that partition | 17:48 |
| Cew27 | ejer: it needs to be the best free one, im sending my laptop to get repaired and it had less than legit software on it | 17:48 |
| ejer | Cew27: I don't recommend bad stuff, look at reviews of DBAN | 17:49 |
| youngmusi1 | ejer: just started with only one disk (and the dvd player of course) and still got the same error. | 17:49 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, yes I got that far, and can detect the networks and all | 17:49 |
| ejer | Cew27: http://dban.sourceforge.net/ | 17:49 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, just havent authenticated :-/ | 17:49 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: soyou could skip installing grub, then try to manually install it... | 17:49 |
| DRebellion | Cew27, you want to scramble a drive? sudo cat /dev/random > /dev/hd | 17:49 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: after you change the auth settings, make sure the dialog comes up "configuring network connection" | 17:50 |
| ejer | that is not hard to undo | 17:50 |
| mino | hi :) if i put in my headset the sound is still on the boxes of my laptop :( does i need alsa mixer to fix that or something else? | 17:50 |
| KEB1 | can you see from wich state i am? im testint tor... | 17:50 |
| youngmusi1 | ejer: no no, this is much earlier, while i'm trying to partition the disk. | 17:50 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: i found that i made changes and nothing happened sometimes | 17:50 |
| Cew27 | DRebellion: it just needs to erare it all so i can re-install windows before i send it back and dont have to fear them finding cracked software | 17:50 |
| Tristan_ | geekahedron, yes seen it, ok Im going under, if Im back in ubuntu its a good sign | 17:51 |
| Tristan_ | ah yes | 17:51 |
| geekahedron | Tristan_: gl | 17:51 |
| Tristan_ | you need to check and uncheck the box | 17:51 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: what version you using of ubuntu | 17:51 |
| iTF|Prometheus | KEB1, AliceDSL isp in germany? | 17:51 |
| aoupi | Cew27: they wont care about cracked software if that is all you are hiding | 17:51 |
| the_empty | Trying to ssh to some boxes I am getting "buffer_get_ret: trying to get more bytes 4 than in buffer 0" all of a sudden... anyone seen this? google is not brimming with helpfulness this morning | 17:51 |
| youngmusi1 | ubuntu-studio 7.10 (tried 64 bit as well as 32 bit) | 17:51 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: *shifty look* | 17:52 |
| iTF|Prometheus | Cew27, Who you sending it to - I used to work for HP and dell...They have no rights to check any software on the hdd - nor do they have any authority.. Plus - Most wont check | 17:52 |
| aoupi | Cew27: and even if they do it will be enough with just normal delete | 17:52 |
| EADG | Cew27: Sorry, had a phone call. I have wipe running as an rm alias, so your saying it's not wiping out the file, or not all instances of the file becuase of the journaled FS? | 17:52 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: im also selling an external hdd wich had a text file on it with log ins for many sites how can i wipe this? will boot and nuke be ok | 17:53 |
| eQualizer | My ubuntu offers remote login. How do I get local login screen back? | 17:53 |
| iTF|Prometheus | Cew27, They dont check for stuff like that - its simply a case of them repairing your laptop as quickly as possible.. your data is your business | 17:53 |
| aoupi | Cew27: selling your HD, yes then you really should wipe it clean | 17:53 |
| youngmusi1 | ejer: ubuntu-studio 7.10 (tried 64 bit as well as 32 bit) | 17:53 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: will boot and nuke be ok | 17:53 |
| ejer | doesn't matter why he wants to nuke it, DBAN or many others will work fine | 17:53 |
| aoupi | Cew27: that DBAN thing ejer recommended looks good | 17:53 |
| aoupi | Cew27: how do you mean nuke? | 17:53 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: that dban | 17:54 |
| ejer | nuke = destroy | 17:54 |
| sergio_ | hi does someone know how can I configure gnome to have different wallpapers on desktops at the same time??? | 17:54 |
| aoupi | Cew27: I've never used DBAN soo I don't know how it works | 17:54 |
| VvWolverinevV | hi i am having trouble with sound in WoW via wine, i have read all of the ubuntu documentation and tried everything i read... sitll no sound, can anyone help me? | 17:54 |
| ejer | youngmusi1: i don't see a reason for this... you may want to try wiping disk completely first... | 17:54 |
| sdsheeks | WoW isn't healthy :) | 17:54 |
| * sdsheeks hides | 17:54 | |
| iTF|Prometheus | lol | 17:54 |
| higgylm | sergio_, right click on desktop > apearances | 17:54 |
| k4k | I just got an error saying " W: not using locking for read only lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock" "E: Unable to write to /var/cache/apt/" "E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened" wtf is that? | 17:55 |
| aoupi | Cew27: but in the future I recommend you encrypt personal/secret things soo you don't have to worry | 17:55 |
| ejer | read this about DBAN http://www.linux.com/feature/48092 | 17:55 |
| === jsauer_ is now known as jsauer | ||
| VvWolverinevV | haha i know sdsheeks, but neither is linux :P | 17:55 |
| youngmusi1 | ejer: well, it's new disk. I don't get this at all. But thanks for the help. | 17:55 |
| EADG | aoupi: I should have address this to you... I have wipe running as an rm alias, so your saying it's not wiping out the file, or not all instances of the file becuase of the journaled FS? | 17:55 |
| sdsheeks | VvWolverinevV: :) | 17:55 |
| sdsheeks | VvWolverinevV: I was addicted to Lineage II almost got a divorce over it. | 17:55 |
| iTF|Prometheus | anyone know how to stop a dma timeout error causing boot delays??? i have appended ide=nodma to the end of my kernel line in menu.lst | 17:55 |
| aoupi | EADG: it's not wiping the file, according to the wipe man page wipe doesn't work on journaled filesystems | 17:55 |
| Cew27 | aoupi: thaks for all the help people! | 17:56 |
| sergio_ | higgylm: yes but... for example if I have the beryl cube when I rotate I want to have in each desktop a different wallpaper | 17:56 |
| aoupi | Cew27: you're welcome | 17:56 |
| danand_ | k4k - are you root? if you are check you don't have any other instances of apt/synaptics etc running | 17:56 |
| ejer | iTF|Prometheus: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=331515 maybe ? | 17:56 |
| luisa | How to make Choose a Profile window show up when I launch Firefox? | 17:56 |
| EADG | aoupi: Thanks for the heads up, better take a look at dban... | 17:56 |
| iTF|Prometheus | ejer, I'll take a look - thanks | 17:56 |
| DrOwl | luisa, try firefox -P | 17:57 |
| aoupi | EADG: :) | 17:57 |
| S4nt4 | hello, I need help with gmd: it s locked on a screen resolution ignoring what I change into xorg.conf... | 17:57 |
| DRebellion | luisa, perhaps: firefox -ProfileManager | 17:57 |
| ejer | EADG: DBAN is for totally destroying ALL data on a disk | 17:57 |
| EADG | Oh, dban is Boot And Nuke... not what I'm need. | 17:57 |
| ejer | not certain files | 17:57 |
| ejer | encrypt them using encfs | 17:58 |
| c1|freaky | is there any tool with which u can see the changes of a directory since the last run of the program? | 17:58 |
| luisa | Did work, thanks DRebellion | 17:58 |
| DRebellion | EADG, have you considered dd if=/dev/random of=arg1 or so? | 17:58 |
| karen | hi | 17:58 |
| EADG | ejer: Ya, I see that on the link you posted, I just need something to zap files when I delete 'em | 17:58 |
| danand_ | k4k - that usually happens when you are not root or you try to use more than one package to install software. Apt prevents this by using a lock file in /var/lib/apt i think. | 17:58 |
| mino | hi i just plugin my headset, the sound of the boxes is still there and also on the headset :/ but i want only sound on my headset... already checked the mixer no option to turn boxes off | 17:58 |
| EADG | DRebellion: I had awhile ago, but thought wipe was a better alternative. | 17:58 |
| ejer | EADG: depends how securely you want to do it | 17:58 |
| ejer | but nothing is as good as encrypting | 17:59 |
| sdsheeks | EADG: I use truecrypt for sensitive stuff. | 17:59 |
| ejer | nor as easy/fast | 17:59 |
| DRebellion | EADG, stick it inside a for loop then | 17:59 |
| mkrufky | who handles those cd requests on shipit.ubuntu.com ? | 17:59 |
| EADG | DRebellion: how would I set that up to delete one file? | 18:00 |
| aoupi | EADG: I think the alternate install CD supports encrypting the root drive from the start (I've never tired it though) | 18:00 |
| erUSUL | mkrufky: canonical | 18:00 |
| DRebellion | EADG, put it in a script | 18:00 |
| mysterycool | how can i login to mysqladmin as another user? | 18:00 |
| mysterycool | mysqladmin -u username ? | 18:00 |
| DRebellion | mysterycool, have you tried mysqladmin -u username? | 18:00 |
| mysterycool | yes | 18:00 |
| vbabiy | mysterycool: it asks you for your useranem | 18:00 |
| mkrufky | i regularly order those cd's because i am handing them out to people, converting them into linux users ..... i am a contributor to the linux kernel, and they usually approve my requests..... my latest request was NOT approved -- how do I find out why? | 18:00 |
| EADG | DRebellion: My scripting abilityies are fail :) But I'll look into it this afternoon... gimme something to do. | 18:00 |

| DRebellion | underwatercow, i think you mean the minimal install | 18:03 |
| S4nt4 | vbabiy, lucky you ! | 18:03 |

| gatestone | ahorriblemess, you are trying too much. Check the games you can install with Synaptic first. | 18:14 |
| DRebellion | Donkey718666, ubuntu is not a program. it is a complete operating system. | 18:14 |
| mon^rch | IndyGunFreak: did that... just waiting to log out and back in to see if it worked... doing too much atm to test that theory. I reinstalled wine from scratch, and thought it would rebuild the menu... not | 18:14 |

| ahorriblemess | nothing happened | 18:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | Donkey718666: download hte live CD, and see if you like it, it works for lots of folks, doesn't work for some, figure out what programs you use in Windows, and see if you can find Linux alternatives. | 18:17 |
| DRebellion | ahorriblemess, open up firefox, and do file:///path/to/xmlfile.xml | 18:17 |

What tools do others use in this manner? | 18:21 |

| IndyGunFreak | Donkey718666: yes, Ubuntu is a version of Linux | 18:23 |
| aoupi | k4k: it means the second partition of the device /dev/sda (/dev/sda2) is mounted on / (your root), it's mounted readwrite and in case of error it should be remounted read only | 18:23 |
| erUSUL | S4nt4: ati driver will load readeon or r128 repending on the chip the card uses | 18:23 |

| ejer | wild_oscar: so you are asking it to do something impossible | 19:27 |
| sandos_ | I was on a non-packaged nvidia driver previously, because the one in ubuntu did not work with my particular geforce. I will try the ubuntu bundled one now, it should have been updated to something that works.. I hope | 19:27 |
| kostkon | sandos_, generic should recognize the two cores, so there's a problem somewhere. nevertheless, how did you install the nvidia driver? | 19:27 |
| ejer | wild_oscar: I would think this would be an evince bug | 19:27 |
| aspire | Jouva: CD-R | 19:28 |
| sandos_ | kostkon: it was the downloadable shell thing from Nvidia | 19:28 |
| wild_oscar | ejer: yes, but the error message doesn't help at all | 19:28 |
| sandos_ | thing is, I cant compile the current one, complained about symbol mismatches. | 19:28 |
| ejer | wild_oscar: so include that in your bug report | 19:28 |
| Jouva | aspire: Ok. I know CD-RWs can sometimes apparently be a pain in some cases ;) I'm trying to see if there's anything in the forums or elsewhere about it. | 19:28 |
| _Casey_ | so how do i uninstall win4lin + the XP emu i made | 19:28 |
| sandos_ | hence why I started playing around with my kernel headers etc | 19:28 |

| norml_advocate | ejer is easy tag in amarok? | 19:28 |
| ejer | norml_advocate: no it is anotehr program | 19:29 |
| alumno04 | i compiled with make, it seems all ok, but when i do "make install" it says that theres not rules to build ... stop | 19:29 |
| _Casey_ | Anyone? | 19:29 |
| cdm10 | I'd like to revoke a signature I've made on someone's public key. I did gpg --edit-key <ID> and then used the command "revsig", and it went through the process of generating a revocation certificate. Then I used the "save" command. However, it doesn't seem to have done anything. | 19:29 |
| alumno04 | what can id o? | 19:29 |
| kostkon | sandos_, oh, ok. since it seems you want to use the latest version of the driver (and not the older in the repos) then you it would be better to use Envy. | 19:29 |
| genius | ejer, I've tryed two providers. the same. They use TCP, and when for example i ping with packet more, then 7kb - it just freezes | 19:29 |
| sandos_ | kostkon: is that the fancy nvidia installer thing? | 19:29 |
| ejer | genius: i would google the error messages | 19:29 |
| Leechzilla | I get "init_nvclock() failed!" when try using smartdimmer. Is there a way to fix this? | 19:30 |
| kostkon | sandos_, yes, it will download the driver from nvidia and install it for you | 19:30 |
| genius | ejer, I really don't know what to do. to change distro, reinstall or it can't even work | 19:30 |
| sandos_ | kostkon: I will try that | 19:30 |

| kostkon | sandos_, if you want to avoid this you should install the driver from the repos. or before you reboot the pc after the kernel update you have to change the driver in xorg.conf from nvidia to nv or vesa and then put it back | 19:31 |
| Jouva | ejer: Ok. Thanks :) | 19:31 |

| dho_ragus | tekhedz: grep -C# for context, very handy for man stuff. | 19:53 |
| aspire | Same problem, and starts spinning very hard | 19:53 |
| dho_ragus | tekhedz: or just -A# for stuff after it. | 19:53 |
| Jouva | aspire: BTW next time you're pasting a config file, use cat and not nano, cause otherwise the ends of lines get cut off and replaced with $ :) | 19:53 |
| tekhedz | EADG: no, but thanks | 19:53 |
| MrRoland | Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG , will ybuntu see it on install ? | 19:53 |
| dho_ragus | tekhedz: eg: man ssh | grep -A5 "\-D" | 19:53 |
| aspire | using pico | 19:53 |
| Jouva | nano, pico, same idea :) | 19:54 |
| niknik | How do I install physics FS? | 19:54 |
| EADG | tekhedz: sorry, wrong person.. | 19:54 |
| aspire | Jouva: OK | 19:54 |
| Jouva | nano's a pico clone anyways | 19:54 |
| dho_ragus | so, how do i get ubuntu to regenerate the udev rules? | 19:54 |
| tekhedz | dho_ragus: so the # = number of lines after search expressuon right? | 19:54 |
| patogen | What memory demanding software exists for linux? | 19:54 |
| dho_ragus | tekhedz: yeah, # is the number of lines to show. | 19:55 |
| dho_ragus | tekhedz: -A is after, -B is before, -C is context (before and after) | 19:55 |
| tekhedz | dho_ragus: ooOOoo very neat, I owe you an internet for this one | 19:56 |
| dho_ragus | patogen: java? | 19:56 |
| brobostigon | patogen: openoffice, kde, gnome,flash | 19:56 |
| bartmon | Hey, how can I mount filesystems with fuse with a non-root user? | 19:56 |
| patogen | dho_ragus: I'm allergic to java. | 19:56 |
| aoupi | tekhedz: you know you can use / to seacrh in man right? | 19:56 |
| tekhedz | aoupi: yes, but this is quicker | 19:56 |
| Jouva | aspire: So it still says something about the bad superblock ? | 19:56 |
| SpacePilot | Can anyone just tell me how to configure xterm? Where should I put the Xdefault file? Is there any other file? Been reading my eyes red on the forums, and nothing works. | 19:56 |
| aspire | yes Jouva, still the same error | 19:56 |
| tekhedz | aoupi: /searchexpression then ender and n for text or N for back | 19:56 |
| tekhedz | next* | 19:57 |
| patogen | brobostigon: None of them are *that* demanding. I wanna try to see what happens when I fill up my ram ... right now I'm using ~300MB of 2000MB. | 19:57 |
| aoupi | tekhedz: indeed it is. oh and -- usualy means "don't look for more arguments", soo grep -C# -- -x would work | 19:57 |
| brobostigon | patogen: write a python script that writes loads to memory?? | 19:57 |
| patogen | brobostigon: I don't know python. | 19:57 |
| tekhedz | aoupi: indeed it does, thanks as well | 19:57 |
| aspire | he does any one know about some sophisticated buring tool for linux that would allow me to see the contents of this disk? | 19:58 |
| tekhedz | aoupi: two dashes is easier to remember and type | 19:58 |
| bartmon | Hey, how can I mount filesystems with fuse with a non-root user? | 19:58 |
| aoupi | bartmon: put them in the fuse group | 19:58 |
| mundungus | bartmon | 19:58 |
| brobostigon | patogen: make a ram disk, and then fill it with big empty files | 19:58 |
| mundungus | dyu now the root pwd?u can sudo | 19:58 |
| _Casey_ | sudo passwd ;x | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | SpacePilot: .Xdefault has to be in home (note the dot) | 19:59 |
| erUSUL | !root | _Casey_ | 19:59 |
| ubotu | _Casey_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 19:59 |

| Casey | HIGHLIGHTS = ANNOYING | 20:00 |
| bartmon | aoupi: i did that. But i have to stop/start fuse for it to know which users are in the group fuse. I don't want to restart my machine | 20:00 |
| moise7000 | !sense of life | 20:00 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sense of life - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:00 |

| Pici | Casey: calm down. | 20:00 |
| erUSUL | Pici: i was struggling to find the right factoid....XD | 20:00 |

| jac0b|w | does screenlets need compiz? | 20:00 |
| _Casey_ | dude how would you have problems | 20:00 |
| norml_advocat1 | is there a way to backup my ubuntu plus all my packages/apps.? and also burn them to cds? | 20:01 |
| jpatrick | Casey: please take this elsewhere (in private with him) | 20:01 |
| _Casey_ | please do not advise me to go private. | 20:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 20:01 |
| PriceChild | !offtopic | 20:01 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:01 |
| niknik | I'm sorry to keep asking this, but I really have no idea. How do I get Physics FS? I know NOTHING about building from source | 20:01 |
| IndyGunFreak | _Casey_: you're gonna make a lot of friends here, i can tell. | 20:01 |
| _Casey_ | I noticed. | 20:02 |
| Pici | niknik: No one knows what that is, you need to explain what exactly you want to do. | 20:02 |
| PriceChild | !offtopic | IndyGunFreak _Casey_ | 20:02 |
| ubotu | IndyGunFreak _Casey_: please see above | 20:02 |
| PriceChild | niknik, Do you mean physx? | 20:02 |
| _Casey_ | Thats my main concern at this point. | 20:02 |
| Casey | facepalm | 20:02 |
| niknik | I think so | 20:02 |
| PriceChild | niknik, could you clarify for us then please? give us links etc. ? | 20:02 |
| swirv | Any help with the glib-1.2 problem? | 20:03 |
| dho_ragus | soooo, if my system doesn't see the network card, how do i fix that? | 20:03 |
| jac0b|w | are desklets and screelets the same? such as are their applets interchangable | 20:03 |
| leeping2007 | Hi there, I'm trying to create a point-to-point vpn with two clients and one server. Is it possible to do this? | 20:03 |
| Pici | jac0b|w: No, they are different programs. | 20:03 |
| sevensevens | Quick question - does anyone have/know of a good USB headset that works with Gutsy (preferably out of the box) | 20:03 |
| niknik | The error message says 'Error: Could not find 'PhysicsFS'. Try using the native package manager for Ubuntu 7.10 (apt-get) to install a packge with a similar name to 'physfs' | 20:03 |
| Pici | jac0b|w: screenlets require a composite desktop, i.e: compiz | 20:03 |
| leeping2007 | There's a "Static Key Mini-HOWTO" on the OpenVPN website but it says I can only have one client with one server | 20:03 |
| clustermagnet | gents... question about ubuntu installer | 20:04 |
| moise7000 | leeping2007: It's the goal of a VPN ... | 20:04 |
| jac0b|w | which would be the recommended one screenlets of desklets? | 20:04 |
| clustermagnet | i am a mandriva user... willing to switch to ubuntu to see how things go | 20:04 |
| Jouva | aspire: So it no longer says "udf,iso9660" and has auto instead, right? | 20:04 |
| kostkon | jac0b|w, screenlets | 20:04 |
| clustermagnet | does the ubuntu installer, 7.1 pick up lvm volumes right off the getgo? | 20:04 |
| Jouva | ...But then again you specified the file system type | 20:04 |
| MsK` | hi | 20:04 |
| jac0b|w | pici: thanks | 20:04 |
| leeping2007 | moise7000, what do you mean? What's the goal of a VPN? | 20:05 |
| MsK` | when I type a word in firefox's url bar, it performs a google "i'm feeling lucky" search, which is good, but it doesn't works with more words. How can I fix that ? | 20:05 |
| jac0b|w | kostkon: thanks | 20:05 |
| sevensevens | VPN lets you connect to a windows virtual private network (and linux private networks) | 20:05 |
| niknik | http://icculus.org/physfs/ | 20:05 |
| aoupi | clustermagnet: i _think_ the alternate install CD does, not sure about the normal one | 20:05 |
| jac0b|w | kostkon: if I have compiz installed do I have it running to use screenlets | 20:06 |
| norml_advocat1 | is there a way to backup my ubuntu plus all my packages/apps.? and also burn them to cds? | 20:06 |
| norml_advocat1 | is there a way to backup my ubuntu plus all my packages/apps.? and also burn them to cds? | 20:06 |

| leeping2007 | sevensevens, here's what I have - three Beowulf clusters with different IP addresses; I would like them all to appear on the LAN when I connect to the "head" cluster | 20:06 |
| hennessy | hi | 20:06 |
| clustermagnet | aoupi: whats the diff between alternate and main cd image? :) | 20:06 |
| PriceChild | !aptoncd | norml_advocat1 | 20:06 |
| clustermagnet | aoupi: thank you sir | 20:06 |
| norml_advocat1 | !clone | 20:06 |
| ubotu | norml_advocat1: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 20:06 |
| ubotu | norml_advocat1: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 20:06 |
| kostkon | jac0b|w, yes, you 'll have to have compiz running otherwise the screenlets will appear "funny" or maybe even not run at all | 20:06 |
| two_bits | what does irqfixup do? | 20:07 |
| two_bits | as a boot parameter? | 20:07 |
| Jouva | sevensevens: He was complaining that the OpenVPN website says you can only have one client and one server, not multiple clients and one server | 20:07 |
| aspire | Jouva: it says that it is the wrong filesystem | 20:07 |
| cthom06 | i had a quick question, i can see my wireless card in my devices and with ndiswrapper -l, but for some reason wlan0 wont show up in if or iwconfig | 20:07 |
| aoupi | clustermagnet: text-based install, no live-cd, support for more stuff | 20:07 |
| clustermagnet | aoupi: high five, thanks | 20:07 |
| Jouva | aspire: try just "udf" | 20:07 |
| clustermagnet | aoupi: would it have compiz-fusion? | 20:07 |
| _Casey_ | try ifconfig -a | 20:07 |
| _Casey_ | @ cth | 20:07 |
| Jouva | So your line should be: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf user,noauto,exec 0 0 | 20:07 |
| aoupi | clustermagnet: yea, it's just the install method that differs | 20:08 |
| sevensevens | I'm looking for USB headphones - can anyone recommend a good one | 20:08 |
| blaauw | goodevening, | 20:08 |

| norml_advocat1 | pricechild thanks | 20:09 |

| _Casey_ | you are looking for wlan0 cthom06? | 20:09 |
| aoupi | clustermagnet: good luck, and may tux be with you | 20:09 |
| cthom06 | _Casey_: thats the alias ndiswrapper uses i believe | 20:09 |
| sevensevens | ALSA is having issues turning off my speakers when I use normal headphones, so I'm looking for a good pair of USB headphones | 20:09 |
| aspire | Jouva: I have tried that and it gives me the same problem | 20:09 |
| blaauw | anybody know ow to solve a problem with eclipse. I use ubuntu 7.10 but i am not able to get the PHP plugin to work. Got the eclipse All-in-one package from zend | 20:09 |

| _Casey_ | eth01 joined, woah | 20:09 |
| eth01 | hmm? | 20:10 |
| eth01 | ( hey at least i'm being noticed haha ) | 20:10 |
| _Casey_ | Indeed. | 20:10 |
| sevensevens | Anyone know of a good pair of USB headphones that work in ubuntu | 20:11 |
| prince_jammys | !hardware | sevensevens | 20:11 |
| ubotu | sevensevens: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 20:11 |
| _Casey_ | Hmmm | 20:11 |
| cthom06 | and my /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper contains 'alias wlan0 ndiswrapper' but modprobe -v ndiswrapper returns nothing | 20:11 |
| _Casey_ | I just use normal headphones seven | 20:11 |
| gatestone | Has anyone expereinced this: my machine boots 2 minutes faster if I press Alt-F1 in the boot process, to see the console. Otherwise I stare at the blank screen for 2 minutes before X kicks in. If I hit Alt-F1, then X starts much sooner...? | 20:11 |
| prince_jammys | gatestone: laptop? | 20:12 |
| gatestone | yes | 20:12 |
| _Casey_ | thats weird gatestone, my ubuntu takes like 5 minutes to boot up now :/ | 20:12 |
| Jouva | aspire: I really don't know What to tell you then. Put it back to how it was and if you can maybe look into another burning tool and reburn the CD? | 20:12 |
| prince_jammys | gatestone: do you see the splash screen? | 20:12 |
| Jouva | aspire: Somebody else may have better insight but I sure don't | 20:12 |
| gatestone | prince_jammys, no splash here | 20:12 |

| Haz | correction, *best* way :P | 20:13 |
| _Casey_ | geek | 20:13 |
| leeping2007 | Is "networkmanager" the same as network-admin? | 20:13 |
| gatestone | prince_jammys, the first thing I see is Gdm, if I don't press Alt-F1 | 20:13 |
| _Casey_ | have you installed WoW? | 20:13 |
| ejer | Haz: you could just use sftp which is part of ssh | 20:13 |
| prince_jammys | gatestone: see if this applies: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen | 20:13 |
| geekahedron | the line in question is "@@ -183,7 +183,26 @@" | 20:13 |
| aspire | Jouva: OK no problem, if anyone had a solution I'm sure they would have suggested | 20:13 |
| _Casey_ | If i'm correct you just install it like any other windows program | 20:13 |

| fuffwork | when i select restart from my shutdown menu in ubuntu, it looks like it's shutting down for a bit, and then the screen flashes purple or green, and then goes black. My pc speaker then makes a long beep, and the screen stays black and doesn't startup. To get around it, I have to cut the power to the computer, and then turn the power back on and start it up - any idea what might cause this? | 20:25 |

| norml_advocat1 | here goes everything | 20:30 |
| hunteke | tanner: what is the problem you are trying to solve? | 20:30 |

| norml_advocat1 | what is the big deal about kde? I dont get what it is. | 20:31 |
| cube | looks like bridging is when you connect 2 internets to 1 machine | 20:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Its another desktop manager norml_advocat1 | 20:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Like GNOME | 20:31 |
| soulburner | cube, isnt that multihoming? | 20:31 |
| s | norml_advocat1: it's just a window manager alternative | 20:31 |
| ph0rensic | Arelis, gparted is sort of weird for me, but it works great during installation... another way to resize the disk is through windows software | 20:31 |
| gatestone | In case someone saw my question about slow boot, yes it was about bad splashscreen, and "nosplash" in menu.lst did it. | 20:31 |
| cube | i don't know what multihoming is | 20:31 |
| norml_advocat1 | whats wrong with gnome, i like it better | 20:32 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 20:32 |
| leeping2008 | Should I restart the computer? It's preferable that I don't, because the computer is a server... | 20:32 |
| cube | but it looks to be that bridging is putting 2 connections together for more bandwidth | 20:32 |

| ^CatMan^ | ejer: any idea how to get me back into x? | 20:39 |
| Arelis | Did anyone read my question? | 20:39 |
| ejer | ^CatMan^: startx ? | 20:39 |
| aoupi | ^CatMan^: have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 20:39 |
| ^CatMan^ | tried that kicked out an error | 20:40 |
| ejer | Arelis: i did... looks like this is not gonna work | 20:40 |
| paolob | Jobias, in preferences-> screen resolution it shows other resolutions with the same 60 Hz frequency, but obviously they aren't worth a try because they are not 16:9 resolutions | 20:40 |
| Arelis | ejer: Alright. what might be the cause, then? :) | 20:40 |
| foso | is there a way to set the display to dim after i havent used it for a while like on a mac? | 20:40 |
| cicero_b | anyone know howto go to a specific line numbered x in emacs | 20:40 |
| ejer | Arelis: lots of things, you should not try to resize win partitions in my opinion | 20:40 |

| SpacePilot | So, anyone know why this happends? http://i32.tinypic.com/2pob42s.png | 20:41 |
| ejer | _Casey_: since I am sure you read the readme, maybe try sudo gpasswd - a youruser vboxusers | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | cicero_b: emacs +linenumber file.txt it works on mosst text editors not only emacs | 20:41 |
| Jouva | Arelis: I'm grabbing straws mind you :) | 20:41 |
| MrRoland | damn if ubuntu had a better name... | 20:41 |
| ejer | erUSUL: looks like a bug to me | 20:41 |
| erUSUL | ejer: ?? | 20:42 |
| Jobias | paolob: hmmm, i had a similar problem, but i have an nvidia card and bypassed the ubuntu control panel and used the nvidia control panel directly to force it to work with my dual monitors (which were displaying at an improper resolution like yours). but since you're running ATI, i'm not sure how to help you. i suspect you'd have to go in and fiddle with the xorg config files manually | 20:42 |
| Cpudan80 | _Casey_: are you actually in the virtual users group? | 20:42 |
| cicero_b | erUSUL: i was hoping to do it in the editor | 20:42 |
| Arelis | Jouva: Yes, i did defrag it before. :) | 20:42 |
| Slart | SpacePilot: soo.. firefox is acting as usual.. I'm a bit surprised about pidgin though =) | 20:42 |
| ejer | erUSUL: ? a bug, like there is a problem in the software? | 20:42 |
| Arelis | ejer: Yes but i want to dual-boot. | 20:42 |
| erUSUL | cicero_b: ooops | 20:42 |
| _Casey_ | i have no idea | 20:42 |
| ejer | Arelis: you install windows first, on one partition, then ubuntu on another | 20:42 |
| cicero_b | oh M-X goto-line works | 20:42 |

| Arelis | ejer: it came pre-installed with this computer | 20:43 |
| nickrud | _Casey_: sudo adduser <username> vboxusers , log out and back in. Should fix it | 20:43 |
| ejer | look at that guide | 20:43 |
| Slart | SpacePilot: hehe.. are you on 64 or 32 bit? does it do this all the time? | 20:43 |

| Jouva | nickrud: adduser or addgroup ? | 20:44 |
| Arelis | ejer: any other way to dual-boot with Ubuntu? (I plan to use it as my main system except for gaming (but i will play open-source games on it) | 20:44 |
| ejer | Arelis: that guide is the way - you have to have 2 partitions | 20:45 |
| nickrud | Jouva: adduser: if you append a group name, the user will get added to the group | 20:45 |
| snirp | and the built-in graphics card? | 20:45 |
| Arelis | ejer: yes but to do that i'd have to resize windows | 20:45 |

| Flannel | bartmon: why don't you use -G [couple of groups] -a? | 20:48 |
| m3gach33zy | hey guys i just built a new computer and should i first install ubuntu? or should i do xp then ubuntu? | 20:49 |
| VSpike | ejer: Option ovc: Unknown suboption dummy | 20:49 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: xp, then ubuntu | 20:49 |
| bartmon | Flannel: what does -a do? add instead of overwrite? | 20:49 |
| Flannel | bartmon: yes | 20:49 |
| aoupi | m3gach33zy: only ubuntu :) | 20:49 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: well, technically, my answer would be "only ubuntu", but you wanted xp as well ;-) | 20:49 |
| aoupi | bartmon: yes, it appends the groups given in -G | 20:49 |
| norml_advocate | How do I get my aptoncd to stop recognizing the packages i do not have installed? or how do I get rid of packages i do not have installed? | 20:49 |
| m3gach33zy | aoupi: well i would only do ubuntu but i'm afraid it wont work copmletly | 20:49 |
| ejer | VSpike: i don't have any wma files to try, is your public somewhere | 20:50 |
| ynef | bartmon: dude, check the man page -- it is actually readable (unlike some others) ;-) | 20:50 |
| ejer | norml_advocate: repeating that often the exact smae thing does not help | 20:50 |
| bartmon | Flannel: Well i didn't realise it would overwrite my goups in the first place. So now i'm trying to get a functional user account working agsin. | 20:50 |
| norml_advocate | ejer any other suggestions? | 20:50 |
| Flare183 | norml_advocate: to clean your cache, you have to open up a terminal and then type in sudo apt-get clean | 20:50 |
| VSpike | ejer: yeah its at http://www.carlyleclarke.plus.com/01%20Feeling%20Oblivion.wma | 20:50 |
| ph0rensic | Back.. sorry was afk | 20:50 |
| _Casey_ | yeah virtualbox is just giving me a black screen when im running it | 20:50 |
| VSpike | ejer: thanks | 20:50 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: well, you should go windows first, ubuntu second -- windows will simply replace your boot loader on install, so you have to jump through hoops if you install ubuntu and then xp | 20:50 |
| norml_advocate | flare183 you da man | 20:50 |
| ejer | gimme 2-3 VSpike | 20:51 |
| norml_advocate | flare183 or the woman | 20:51 |
| Flare183 | man | 20:51 |
| bartmon | ynef: that's where i got -G from but i didn't realise groups would be set to exactly that which you give | 20:51 |
| m3gach33zy | ynef: thanks | 20:51 |
| Flare183 | norml_advocate: i'm a man | 20:51 |
| norml_advocate | flare183 then you da man | 20:51 |
| ynef | bartmon: ah, well, yeah -- that's why -a appends the groups to your already existing group memberships... quite handy, that :-) | 20:51 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: no problem :-) | 20:51 |
| norml_advocate | flare183 now aptoncd isnt finding any packages | 20:52 |
| Flare183 | ok then... | 20:52 |
| VSpike | very annoying. can't install pacpl because I can't reach ftp.perl.org | 20:52 |
| aoupi | norml_advocate: apt-get check | 20:52 |
| Flare183 | norml_advocate: well you aren't supposed to use aptoncd | 20:52 |
| Flare183 | norml_advocate: really you are supposed to use apt-get | 20:52 |
| aoupi | norml_advocate: perhaps that finds out what's wrong (probably not) | 20:52 |
| m3gach33zy | does anyone think that it will be a problem to install xp vista and ubuntu? | 20:53 |
| MrKeuner | hi, can I connect to user x on server suing vncviewer when user x, y, z are in session? | 20:53 |
| ph0rensic | m3gab0y, No, Ive seen a triple boot xp, vista, and ubuntu | 20:53 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: what, all three? if so, go xp -> vista -> ubuntu | 20:53 |
| Flare183 | m3gach33zy: depends on which you install first | 20:53 |

| ubotu | Semloh: 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. :-) | 20:54 |
| norml_advocate | sudo apt-get check didnt work! | 20:54 |
| MrKeuner | vncviewer takes me to the user who has opened the first session | 20:54 |
| m3gach33zy | well i have a big hdd so i thought why not have all 3 just for the heck of it | 20:54 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: vista will most likely recognise your xp install, and add it to some boot menu, and then ubuntu can understand and use them both | 20:54 |
| norml_advocate | nothin in aptoncd! | 20:54 |
| * Flare183 says i haven't really worked with aptoncd | 20:54 | |
| gatestone | prince_jammys, thx for the tip, I used nosplash to fix my slow boot... | 20:54 |
| nickrud | HetaUma: I believe they need to bin in the powerdev group, sudo adduser <usrname> powerdev . (that user will have to log out and back in for it to take effect) | 20:55 |

| soulburner | going to switch to ubuntu | 20:58 |

| m3gach33zy | ejer: what does that mean exactly? | 20:59 |
| ynef | m3gach33zy: well, plays well in that regard meant that it will recognise the other os:s existance and add them to your boot menu -- and, of course, ubuntu can read windows' files, but not the other way around | 20:59 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: i think aptoncd uses the cache, and when you did autoclean, you cleared the cache *maybe* | 20:59 |

| Ximal | the ubotu actually helped. thanks guys | 21:00 |
| Vulcanis | So, I recently installed ubuntu on a thinkpad x60, and the wireless range is something like half that of what I got in windows | 21:00 |
| danand_ | hi all - does anyone know how i can set up my entries in /dev so that /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrom1 point to the devices I want them to. At the moment they are the wrong way round ie /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdd and /dev/cdrom1 points to /dev/hdc? | 21:00 |
| bartmon | If I add a user to a new group can I enforce the new settings without a reboot? | 21:00 |
| ynef | Vulcanis: does it work, though? the driver could just be reporting a really low value | 21:00 |
| Vulcanis | it works | 21:00 |
| nickrud | bartmon: log that user out completely, then log back in | 21:00 |
| Vulcanis | but my room, which I can get a mid-quality signal in windows, does not get a connection to the router in the living room | 21:00 |
| danand_ | bartmon - just logout and log in again | 21:01 |
| ynef | Vulcanis: I have really crappy values too, but the same speed and actual quality as in windows | 21:01 |
| ynef | Vulcanis: ah, well, then that's a problem | 21:01 |
| Vulcanis | its only the range thats the problem | 21:01 |
| ynef | Vulcanis: what module are you using? is it ndiswrapper, or a native one? | 21:01 |
| === GodTodd_ is now known as GodTodd | ||
| choudesh | Vulcanis, you may want to increase your txpower | 21:01 |
| Vulcanis | just the one that came with ubuntu. I'm somewhat new to this, I have not used *nix in two years. | 21:02 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys i did clean the cache, and i am trying to make a cd for when I break my computer again | 21:02 |
| choudesh | Vulcanis, man iwconfig and look at txpower | 21:02 |
| ynef | Vulcanis: ok, can you type "lsmod | grep ndis" in a terminal and see if it gives you a response? | 21:02 |
| Vulcanis | thanks. Any idea what it should be set to, chou? | 21:02 |
| HetaUma | any ideas why suddenly the shutdown and restart buttons from the main user disapear ? | 21:02 |
| Vulcanis | ynef: I'm not on the laptop right now, I'll go and grab it | 21:02 |
| bartmon | nickrud: danand_: thank | 21:02 |
| bartmon | youj | 21:02 |
| ynef | choudesh: how do you increase the tx power? | 21:03 |
| ynef | choudesh: i know how to read it, but how do I set it? :-) | 21:03 |
| === encrypt128bit_ is now known as encrypt128bit | ||
| choudesh | Vulcanis, most likely it is set to a powersaving mode. just check it out and see how to get it and give it a large integer, say 100000; that would increase it to the make | 21:03 |
| EnderTheThird | Anyone know how to enable thumbnails for network-mounted drives? | 21:03 |
| Vulcanis | thanks | 21:03 |
| ynef | ah, there you go: it's in iwconfig of course ;-) | 21:03 |
| choudesh | ynef, look at man iwconfig; txpower section | 21:03 |
| ynef | choudesh: yeah :-) | 21:04 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: you could just save a list of all the packages and then apt-get install them all in the future. there's a script that does that | 21:04 |
| bartmon | Is there a website detailing user groups on a linux system? | 21:04 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys but i dont always have the net. and want a disc | 21:04 |
| bartmon | at least the common ones | 21:04 |
| choudesh | Vulcanis, if that doesn't help - come back and I will help you more | 21:04 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: ah | 21:04 |
| ^CatMan^ | i just tried putting the settings back the defaults with the only diff bein the nvidia driver, but when i try to 'startx' it says no screens found :( | 21:04 |
| choudesh | Vulcanis, you may have to ping me a few times to get my attention | 21:05 |
| ejer | bartmon: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/users_in_ubuntu | 21:05 |
| norml_advocat1 | Does anyone know how to get aptoncd to recognize installed packages? | 21:05 |
| ph0rensic | norml_advocat1, There is probably a way to package them on the disc, and then the script can read the disc as a repository to install everything | 21:05 |
| choudesh | norml_advocat1, installed or that are in the cache? | 21:05 |
| bartmon | ejer: thanks | 21:05 |
| aoupi | bartmon: there is an explanation next to them in "Users and Groups" | 21:05 |
| norml_advocat1 | choudesh installed I just cleared the cache | 21:05 |
| choudesh | norml_advocat1, easiest way is just to apt-get download-only packages you have installed then they are added to the cache again and let aptoncd look there | 21:06 |
| ynef | ^CatMan^: well, that can be for any number of reasons -- look in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log where you have errors (EE) | 21:06 |
| ejer | bartmon: http://ccollins.wordpress.com/2007/07/02/restore-default-ubuntu-groups/ | 21:06 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: apt-get does have a download-only option that you should look into | 21:06 |
| norml_advocat1 | choudesh you the man | 21:06 |
| norml_advocat1 | thanks | 21:06 |
| ^CatMan^ | ynef: what exactly am i looking for? | 21:06 |
| ynef | ^CatMan^: stuff that says "(EE) ...something" | 21:06 |
| choudesh | norml_advocat1, thank the channel, we are all here to help | 21:06 |
| bartmon | aoupi: i don't have that menu entry | 21:06 |
| ynef | ^CatMan^: no screens found could be that your kernel module does not match the installed driver, for instance | 21:07 |
| norml_advocat1 | thanks channel!!! | 21:07 |
| ^CatMan^ | ok | 21:07 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: this will generate the list:::: sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=:space:install$='| awk '{print $1}' > installedpackages | 21:07 |
| ThipThip | Question: Is there reason to be concerned about security with a wireless keyboard in Ubuntu? Couldn't someone with some kind of sniffer pick up all of my keystrokes? The logitech keyboard I'm using has a security program for Windows, the actual efficacy of which I have no idea. Is there some generic equivalent for Linux (there appears not to be one from logitech). Should I be worried? | 21:07 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: ooops | 21:07 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: don't know what happened there | 21:07 |
| aoupi | bartmon: it comes when you hilight a user, click properties and then in the User priviliges tab | 21:07 |
| white_eagle | just a general question, do usb wifi receivers work with ubuntu or linux in general? | 21:07 |
| === benzs_s is now known as benzss | ||
| [chr0n0s] | white_eagle, as a matter of fact they do | 21:08 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys please say again | 21:08 |
| Kitar|st | http://wiresmash.com/gaming/top-5-amazing-free-games-you-probably-never-played-and-should/ | 21:08 |
| choudesh | ThipThip, to be honest - there is no such program for *nix. | 21:08 |
| ejer | ThipThip: you should be worried if you have reason to... but you should understand there are bigger security risks | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | [chr0n0s]: do all of them work? | 21:08 |
| shad0w1e | hey is anyone familiar with 'FakeRaid'? How would I repair a fakeraid? | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | frome the newer ones | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | I mean | 21:08 |
| [chr0n0s] | white_eagle, they don't | 21:08 |
| choudesh | ThipThip, wireless keyboards/mice are inherently insecure. | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | [chr0n0s]: what setupd do they require? | 21:08 |
| white_eagle | setup* | 21:08 |
| aheckler | does anyone know how i can set a script to autorun when i mount my external HDD? | 21:09 |
| ThipThip | ejer: Bigger security risks? To what are you referring? | 21:09 |
| ^CatMan^ | ok, found it yver | 21:09 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: check this site:: http://www.debianadmin.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html ,, but on the last step, see if you can use "apt-get --download-only install" instead of "aptitude install" | 21:09 |
| ejer | ThipThip: unless you are really securing your system, I would not worry about wireless keyboard | 21:09 |
| ThipThip | choudesh: I wouldn't be worried about mouse clicks... Best to stick to wired for the keyboard you think? Is it easy to "sniff" the signal? | 21:09 |
| ynef | ^CatMan^: did you mean me? :-) and if so, what was the problem? | 21:09 |
| [chr0n0s] | white_eagle, that's a too general question to be answered, but most of the intel cards work, and broadcomm also works | 21:09 |
| ejer | ThipThip: for instance keyloggers are trivial to get and use | 21:09 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: sorry, no "install" | 21:10 |
| ThipThip | ejer: Well I'd like to think that eavesdropping and the like is more or less impossible... Am I wrong with ubuntu out of the box? | 21:10 |
| choudesh | ThipThip, WLOGS yes. | 21:10 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: check "man apt-get" for how to just download | 21:10 |
| ^CatMan^ | ynef: yeah, sorry, and the error was Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module | 21:10 |
| ejer | ThipThip: no system is entirely secure I would have to say | 21:10 |
| ThipThip | ejer: Yes, but someone would have to have physical access to my computer to install a keylogger, no? | 21:10 |
| ejer | yep | 21:10 |

| b4l74z4r | is all my system settings stored on my home partition, so if i re-install, all my settings will be kept? | 21:10 |
| EnderTheThird | anyone know why gnome doesn't show thumbnails for a drive mounted from a network, or if there's a way to get it to? | 21:10 |
| ynef | ^CatMan^: what did you do with your nvidia driver? did you install the one on the website, or something? | 21:10 |
| * m3gab0y is Away: Just Away. | 21:10 | |
| bastid_raZor | is there a way to find out why a package was put on hold if not done by the user? | 21:10 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: the site gives you a way of generating the package list and saving it on a file. you will then use this file to redownload everything | 21:10 |
| bartmon | ejer: that 2nd link looks like a winner | 21:11 |
| bartmon | thanks | 21:11 |
| ejer | this is theoretical stuff ThipThip just saying you are more likely to have your box rooted than your wireless keyboard decrypted | 21:11 |
| ynef | b4l74z4r: well, your personal settings are stored there -- system settings are stored in /etc -- might want to copy that to your home account | 21:11 |
| ejer | bastid_raZor: what do you mean? | 21:11 |
| ^CatMan^ | ynef: i didn't think it did anything with it, the website said make sure i am using the nvidia driver, not the nv, so i unchecked the nv one and checked the nvidia driver, then i lost x :( | 21:12 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys i just want to burn all my packs to a cd | 21:12 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: right, the question is whether you have to redownload them. do you? | 21:12 |
| ynef | ^CatMan^: have you installed the driver itself, then? | 21:12 |
| Vulcanis | choudesh: It worked, thanks. | 21:12 |
| orgy_ | hi, im trying to get my cpu freq scaling to work. but it seems like powernowd needs one of those powernow-k* modules. but theyre not loaded, and i cant load them. where do i get them? | 21:13 |
| choudesh | Vulcanis, no problem. | 21:13 |
| bastid_raZor | ejer; when i ran aptitude safe-upgrade it tells me several packages were held back. i did not tell any packages to be held back. why would aptitude automatically hold them? | 21:13 |
| ejer | bastid_raZor: because you asked for a safe upgrade | 21:13 |
| blend | hiih | 21:13 |
| ejer | bastid_raZor: do a dist-upgrade to install them | 21:13 |
| white_eagle | bye guys | 21:13 |
| ThipThip | ejer: Do you have any general suggestions to keep from being rooted? | 21:13 |
| ^CatMan^ | i ran it thru dpkgreconfigure xserver-xorg | 21:14 |
| bastid_raZor | ejer; i'm confused why a safe-upgrade would hold them? would apt-get be a better way to go then? | 21:14 |
| ejer | ThipThip: i don't think you need to worry much, use a router, a software firewall if you like | 21:14 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys my computer is working fine right now. But I want to backup my packages for later. but my aptoncd is not finding my installed packages. where are they stored? | 21:14 |
| aoupi | ThipThip: disable services you don't use, use strong passwords, update often | 21:14 |
| ejer | bastid_raZor: you specifically asked not to install non-'safe' packages | 21:14 |
| choudesh | ejer, even with a dist-upgrade packages are help back. The reason for being help back is dep-issues, ver-issues and packages non exists in the new repo but cater to dep-issues | 21:14 |
| ThipThip | ejer, aoupi: Thank you. | 21:14 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: i understand perfectly what you want to do. i'm just not sure whether you have redownload the packages after clearing the cache | 21:14 |
| bastid_raZor | ejer; ahh i see.. okay .. thank you | 21:15 |
| ejer | choudesh: that should not happen... | 21:15 |
| norml_advocat1 | i did not redownload anything yet. do i have to ? | 21:15 |
| choudesh | ejer, what should not happen? | 21:15 |
| norml_advocat1 | i just want to backup whats installed already | 21:15 |
| ejer | choudesh: dep issues etc | 21:15 |
| ejer | apt-get upgrade will not install kernel releases for example | 21:15 |
| prince_jammys | ejer: norml_advocat1 did apt-get autoclean and now wants to save his installed packages using aptoncd. does he need to redownload the packages with apt-get --download-only? | 21:16 |

| ejer | danbhfive: virtualbox.org is good | 21:16 |

| Raizard | How can I delete an icon on the desktop that i can't remove with the right click? | 21:19 |
| choudesh | ejer, not really...just look at packages.ubuntu.com and find a package that doesn't exist in 7.10 that did in 7.04...then find a package that depends on that package in 7.04 but not in 7.10 and you will see held back packages | 21:19 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: once that question is answered, things will be clearer :) | 21:19 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys who will answer is the question | 21:19 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: he's your best bet at the moment | 21:20 |
| ^CatMan^ | ok, where can i download the nvidia driver, or where would it be on my system to see if i need to download it? | 21:20 |
| ejer | choudesh: how would someone get in this situation? they would not have used update-manager i guess, so they broke stuff | 21:20 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys i did run that download-only thing | 21:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | ^CatMan^: have you looked in System/Admin/Restricted? | 21:20 |
| norml_advocat1 | didnt work | 21:20 |

| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: error message? | 21:20 |
| norml_advocat1 | lemme do it again | 21:21 |
| choudesh | ejer, just find a package that doesn't exist in 7.10 that did a previous version and some other package depends on it. Then you have a held back package. That is all. | 21:21 |
| ompaul | choudesh, if you know the requested standard of behaviour why transgress? | 21:21 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: you did it using the link i posted? also you have to learn the syntax for the apt-get --download-only command | 21:21 |

| spaceninja | but I want it automatic | 21:25 |
| norml_advocat1 | prince_jammys its blank | 21:25 |
| prince_jammys | norml_advocat1: ok now you have to do the second part, only instead of installing everything, download everything | 21:25 |

| * keito dreams once more of ZFS | 22:03 | |
| ubuntu_1 | ompaul, Should I just reinstall ubuntu :( | 22:03 |

| keito | mad_max02: fairplay. i did exactly what you have just done a while back now. no more win for me | 22:04 |
| ompaul | ubuntu_1, well you would have it installed twice over for the time spent on irc ;-) note the correct order is windows - then ubuntu | 22:04 |

| ubuntu_1 | ompaul, Well, I'll try it again... I don't really wanna reset all my settings though | 22:04 |
| mad_max02 | keito, I learned much stuff only trying to get all the things working :D | 22:04 |
| wawawewa | hello to everyone | 22:04 |
| luisgmarine_ | Hello I got 2 hard drives on my laptop, and I want to use the second one for music and movies, but for some reason i cant save anything to it. Like I can't access it unless I manually mount it, anyway to fix this? Like how do I get that extra HDD to be my media drive? | 22:05 |
| keito | mad_max02: its a steep learning curve but it's well worth it | 22:05 |
| Ximal | is there a way to get ubuntu to use the ethernet adapter inside the ps3 ? | 22:05 |
| mad_max02 | Linux still aint "out of the box" system but you shure can have much fun setting it up | 22:05 |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine what kind of filesystem is the second drive? | 22:05 |
| mrcheeks | Hello guys I have an issue with exim4, I cannot upgrade it , there is a file called exim4 in etc which I can not delete. I get the following message rm: cannot remove `/etc/exim4': Invalid argument | 22:05 |
| keito | luisgmarine_: you need to add it to your fstab | 22:06 |
| n00dle | Has anyone got a bluetooth headset to work with ubuntu? (Motorola H500, ubuntu 7.04) | 22:06 |
| mad_max02 | I even played CnC3 TW in lan with my friends :D | 22:06 |
| keito | !fstab | keito | 22:06 |
| mad_max02 | I dont game much but I just did it to show them that their Vista sh*t sucks | 22:06 |
| mad_max02 | excuse my language :D | 22:06 |
| luisgmarine_ | keito, will this allow me to make folders in that drive? Like have seperate folders for music and movies and such things? | 22:06 |
| faileas | mad_max02: depends on the box ;p | 22:06 |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine yes | 22:06 |
| keito | luisgmarine_: what filesystem is it | 22:07 |
| mad_max02 | faileas, well I have even better box then the rest of them :D | 22:07 |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine where is it currently mounted? | 22:07 |
| danbhfive | my virtual os installation is having trouble connecting to the net. It says it dhcps fine, but it can't connect to archive.ubuntu.com | 22:07 |
| faileas | mad_max02: my old thinkpad took one tweak ;p | 22:07 |
| luisgmarine_ | keito, reisferfs | 22:08 |
| mad_max02 | faileas, hehe :D | 22:08 |
| TurtleOfDoom | danbhfive: did you try ping yahoo.com? | 22:08 |
| mad_max02 | anyways I'm off | 22:08 |
| mad_max02 | gotta hit the shower | 22:08 |
| mad_max02 | laters | 22:08 |
| keito | you need to probably set permissions too? | 22:08 |
| danbhfive | TurtleOfDoom: unfortunately, ping aint installed yet | 22:08 |
| bartmon | Hey again. I want to run a lightweight HTTP file listing server called webfsd. In the man page it says "Webfsd will | 22:08 |
| keito | !fstab | luisgmarine_ | 22:08 |
| bartmon | serve any regular file and provide listings for any directory it is | 22:08 |
| bartmon | able to open(2)." I don't know what this means. | 22:08 |

| TurtleOfDoom | no ping, that's interesting | 22:09 |
| * AtomicSpark shivers at bad grammer | 22:09 | |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine sorry, i have no experience with reiserfs mount options | 22:09 |
| luisgmarine_ | keito I dont think so. When I installed Ubuntu I just asked the ubuntu partitioner to wipe the hdd clean and install the reisferfs on it | 22:09 |
| TurtleOfDoom | do you have wget installed? | 22:09 |
| brobostigon | danbhfive: ping is always installed | 22:09 |
| danbhfive | TurtleOfDoom: you know what, I'm trying to do a netinstall. Maybe I should just download the disk, so nvm | 22:09 |
| keito | !reiserfs | luisgmarine_ | 22:09 |
| ubotu | luisgmarine_: reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html | 22:09 |
| TurtleOfDoom | ah, netinstall that expalins it | 22:09 |
| Ximal | anyone ? | 22:09 |
| n00dle | Anyone using a bluetooth headset with ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| shingouz | ideas on why a fresh gutsy does not want to ifup eth0 automagically when hotplugging the pcmcia. interfaces has "allow-hotplug eth0, iface eth0 inet dhcp" | 22:10 |
| danbhfive | brobostigon: is ping installed before a netinstall has started? and I drop to a terminal? it says ping is a bad command, but I do have route :p | 22:10 |
| luisgmarine_ | I can reinstall if its that big of a problem | 22:10 |
| TurtleOfDoom | dan, try which ping | 22:10 |
| luisgmarine_ | I think I just might re-install | 22:10 |
| brobostigon | danbhfive: never used netinstall, so no idea | 22:10 |
| keito | luisgmarine_: have you checked you fstab to make sure it is there, that will automount your drive and tell the system whether you can write to it or whether its read only | 22:10 |
| keito | luisgmarine_: all the insfo should be there | 22:11 |
| TurtleOfDoom | danbhfive: maybe try "lynx yahoo.com? | 22:11 |
| keito | luisgmarine_: you will not need to re-install | 22:11 |
| danbhfive | hey guys, i retract the question, im just gona do a different install, its not worth it | 22:11 |
| TurtleOfDoom | danbhfive: that would be my suggestion | 22:11 |
| keito | luisgmarine_: that would be a waste of your valuable time ;) | 22:11 |
| Ximal | My playstation 3 ubuntu install isn't noticing the network adapter... would someone explain to mehow to download/configure such drivers, pls ? | 22:11 |

| luisgmarine_ | It just has the / , /home/ and swap. Then an entry for my cdrom | 22:12 |
| brobostigon | ximal: 1st) run dmesg and then lshw, and see if its recognized | 22:12 |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine_: do " sudo fdisk -l" and see any reiserfs devices | 22:12 |
| * Ttech is back (gone 00:00:06) | 22:12 | |

| reikalusikka | my pc is just old | 22:28 |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine_: correct, that seems to be it | 22:28 |
| luisgmarine_ | please tell me I'm correct | 22:28 |
| reikalusikka | geforce 2 | 22:28 |
| === cZw0 is now known as cZw0|fast^bettL | ||
| reikalusikka | ;D | 22:28 |
| luisgmarine_ | prince_jammys : ok thanks I think I got it now | 22:28 |
| narfu | nabend, jetzt von neuem laptop mit u7.10 ;P | 22:28 |
| ph0rensic | ejer, technically your right, but I guess I was talking about the settings in ccsm as custom | 22:29 |
| bartmon | jeffMASTERflex: that's... a lot :) will read through it though | 22:29 |
| mEck0 | Hi! Does a symbian-based smartphone generally sync ok with e.g. Evolution? | 22:29 |
| ejer | thk u ph0rensic :) | 22:29 |
| jeffMASTERflex | bartmon: well it does say it is THE definitive guide. lol | 22:29 |
| patogen | What is a good permission to set for /home and others? Someone fooled me into setting everything to 644 which isn't very good. So i booted up with a recovery cd and set it to 777... | 22:30 |
| prince_jammys | luisgmarine_: you will have to create that folder with sudo mkdir /media/folder_name in order to mount it, of course | 22:30 |
| d90_ | is there a linux low level format tool for us disks | 22:30 |
| ejer | patogen: 644 is correct for files | 22:30 |
| ejer | 777 is not | 22:30 |
| d90_ | is there a linux low level format tool for usb disks | 22:30 |
| jeffMASTERflex | d90_: fdisk | 22:30 |
| patogen | ejer: How come when I did set it to 644 I couldn't do anything? | 22:30 |
| narfu | eehm ich versuche grade avn zu installieren, habe die anleitung im wiki bevolgt,. allerdings können iwelche packete nicht gelesen werden | 22:31 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: you couldnt open the folder | 22:31 |
| patogen | My home should be 644? | 22:31 |
| ejer | patogen: 644 means only the user who owns the file can write to it | 22:31 |
| ejer | patogen: directories are usually 755 | 22:31 |
| patogen | Yeah, and someone fooled me into doing this with / | 22:31 |
| prince_jammys | patogen careful with bulk changing the permissions of your home | 22:31 |
| patogen | which made me unable to do anything | 22:31 |
| CVD-PR | hey | 22:31 |
| ejer | patogen: doing that in / (root) will break the system | 22:31 |
| ejer | as i guess you found out | 22:32 |
| patogen | ejer: I noticed it. | 22:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 22:32 |
| ejer | i don't think there is an easy way to go back | 22:32 |
| narfu | ums mal etwas preziser zu sagen : http://rafb.net/p/tAU2Ta99.html | 22:32 |
| narfu | ;) | 22:32 |
| ejer | 1. beat person who said that 2. reinstall 3. profit | 22:32 |
| patogen | So what should I set /home and /etc and all others to? if there is some least worst way | 22:32 |
| pretts | hi | 22:32 |
| d90_ | jeffMASTERflex, I mean to write all zeros to disk | 22:33 |
| ejer | patogen: it is not going to be easy, all sorts of different permissions are needed | 22:33 |
| iowahc | hy there. When I watch a movie in Gutsy with VLC my Xorg is on 82-90% of CPU Usage. Anyone any suggestions what i could be? I hav compiz active and the newest fglrx driver from ATI. | 22:33 |
| ph0rensic | d90_, that takes forever.. I did it recently | 22:33 |
| d90_ | jeffMASTERflex, fdisk doesnt have this option | 22:33 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: if you indeed changed those permissions, things are such a mess that reinstalling is not a bad idea | 22:33 |
| d90_ | ph0rensic, jus say it is usb disk of 1GB | 22:33 |
| patogen | Gah. | 22:33 |
| pretts | if I delete everything in my $HOME whenever I run some app it will recreate the apropriate files? I mean about everything gnome etc | 22:33 |
| d90_ | ph0rensic, it will no be more than 2hours | 22:33 |
| patogen | pain :( | 22:34 |
| ph0rensic | d90_, Oh ok hehe that should take but a about 10 minutes | 22:34 |
| jeffMASTERflex | d90_: i think wipe will do that for you | 22:34 |
| ejer | d90_: just reformatting it will wipe everything | 22:34 |
| magnetron | iowahc: the answer is in your question. ATI's drivers are slow and will use a lot of CPU. | 22:34 |
| ejer | not securely, but will allow you to use it | 22:34 |
| ejer | pretts: don't delete everything.... but in general, yes | 22:35 |
| ejer | backup first pretts | 22:35 |
| Scunizi | ph0rensic, ok.. I've got emerald installed via synaptic.. and see a theme I'd like to load that is within the default ... how do I do that? | 22:35 |
| jeffMASTERflex | d90_: wipe is nice in that it writes random data using /dev/urandom | 22:35 |
| iowahc | magnetron: ok, when I use the open source driver everything should be fine? | 22:35 |
| ComradeMirror | Hey guys | 22:35 |
| mrcheeks | How can I deal with that please? ls: cannot access /etc/exim4: Invalid argument | 22:35 |
| pretts | ejer, I messed up permissions etc that's why I'm asking this :D | 22:35 |
| prince_jammys | people doing some radical stuff here | 22:35 |
| ComradeMirror | Does Linux have anything similar to Windows XP's language bar? | 22:35 |
| patogen | Hmm or wait ... drwxr-xr-x on /etc means? sorry for asking silly questions without looking up first | 22:36 |
| ComradeMirror | Where I can type japanese on an english keyboard? | 22:36 |
| magnetron | iowahc: no, the open source driver for ATI is not that good yet either. | 22:36 |
| d90_ | ejer, I need something to hide bad sectors which are root@d90-desktop:/home/d90# fsck.vfat -t -a /dev/sdb1 | 22:36 |
| d90_ | dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN | 22:36 |
| d90_ | Cluster 19431 is unreadable. | 22:36 |
| d90_ | Cluster 19432 is unreadable. | 22:36 |
| d90_ | Cluster 19433 is unreadable. | 22:36 |
| d90_ | Cluster 19434 is unreadable. | 22:36 |
| ejer | that is 755 patogen | 22:36 |
| FloodBot2 | d90_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:36 |
| patogen | but I really need to use the computer... | 22:36 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, You probably have to type emerald --replace in the terminal to make it your window decorator, then you just click on the theme you want to use within emerald manager | 22:36 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: who owns it? | 22:36 |
| Scunizi | ComradeMirror, always wondered what that was for in windows. It use to drive me crazy. | 22:36 |
| ComradeMirror | Ah | 22:36 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: root | 22:36 |
| iowahc | magnetron: wich one shall i use then? | 22:36 |
| ejer | d90_: afaik this will be done on a reformat | 22:36 |
| ComradeMirror | Scunizi it allows you to type in different languages on keyboards x.x does Linux have anything like that? | 22:36 |
| Scunizi | ph0rensic, ah.. so simple yet cryptic.. and if I want to go back to compiz then compiz --replace? | 22:36 |
| ComradeMirror | Cause I do my japanese homework on my computer | 22:36 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: thats fine | 22:37 |
| ComradeMirror | and I don't want to switch between windows and linux for japanese homework | 22:37 |
| ph0rensic | d90_, I think if you zero the drive that will correct those or atleast hide them | 22:37 |
| ejer | d90_: http://www.webservertalk.com/message1950145.html | 22:37 |
| magnetron | iowahc: none of them are really good. i would avoid ATI altogether at the moment. | 22:37 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, No, compiz works with emerald | 22:37 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: Hmm, only /home seems to be 777 somehow | 22:37 |
| Scunizi | ComradeMirror, I think you just change the language setting. | 22:37 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: do cd / and then ls -l and pastebin | 22:37 |
| iowahc | my first install of gutsy went fine | 22:37 |
| iowahc | magnetron: with the driver from the CD everything worked fine | 22:37 |
| Scunizi | ph0rensic, so when I do emerald --replace what is it replacing (name).. metacity? | 22:38 |
| iowahc | wich driver are they? | 22:38 |
| iowahc | magnetron: wich driver are they? | 22:38 |
| ComradeMirror | Scunizi I don't think it would work that way | 22:38 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, yes afaik | 22:38 |
| ComradeMirror | That would change my linux writing to japanese too | 22:38 |
| ComradeMirror | x.x | 22:38 |
| d90_ | I gonna try some of those you advised for formating | 22:38 |
| magnetron | iowahc: the open source one. but i don-t think the open source one supports compiz | 22:38 |
| nickrud | ComradeMirror: system->prefs->layouts to enable the keyboard layouts, then right click the panel keyboard indicator | 22:38 |
| iowahc | magnetron: well they did to me | 22:38 |
| nickrud | ComradeMirror: add keyboard indicator, that is | 22:38 |
| ejer | ComradeMirror: system>admin>language support (I think) | 22:39 |
| magnetron | iowahc: that's great. | 22:39 |
| root----- | how to run xlock (a comand/app that locks screen) automatically if it has not been runing for the last 30 mins? | 22:39 |
| iowahc | magnetron: how can I reactivate the old drivers? | 22:39 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, You get it working yet?? There may be a setting in compiz that says allow window decorations.. make sure thats checked | 22:39 |
| magnetron | iowahc: i don't know. maybe the channel knows, please ask. | 22:40 |
| ejer | root-----: system>prefs>screensaver in gnome can do this | 22:40 |
| Scunizi | ph0rensic, just did the terminal thing except when I close the terminal.. all window decorations go away . | 22:40 |
| root----- | ejer no. xlock is an app | 22:40 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: Sorry I'm not good enough to do that from that computer. But all have drwxr-xr-x owned by root, except home that is drwxrwxrwx owned by root | 22:40 |
| ArmedKing | Hello all maby a bit off topic. But i just got out of the hospital (whas in there for 3 days) because i had my first Epilepsie seisure. Now i heard i had to ajust my monitor freq but does it have to go lower or higher. | 22:40 |

| ejer | otherwise, look at cron root----- | 22:40 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, you did emerald --replace? thats good.. now hit ctrl-f2 and type emerald .. it wont open a window and emerald will stay running | 22:41 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: Oh and proc is dr-xr-xr-x owned by root | 22:41 |
| magnetron | ArmedKing: some CRT (not flat) screens tend to flicker at low frequencies | 22:41 |
| ComradeMirror | In synaptic where is the respository tab? x.x | 22:41 |
| Scunizi | ph0rensic, ctrl+F2 doesn't bring anything up. | 22:41 |
| iowahc | magnetron: thanks, something to go, i killed gnome-sound-pro because it used about a gig ram, now the cpu_usage of Xorg dropped to 70% | 22:41 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: and your home? ie /home/youruser? | 22:41 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, next time you boot, you shouldn't have to type it in, it will automatically load it for you | 22:41 |
| Darkmystere | Err, i network manager doesnt load on startup = me not being able to use internet in Ubuntu =( How can i fix this? | 22:41 |
| ArmedKing | magnetron, oke i have a 26" tft tho | 22:41 |
| iuri | i need to change the language of the shell prompt from deutch to english | 22:42 |
| iowahc | magnetron: can it be something with the sound driver? like Alsa? | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ComradeMirror: what are you tring to do? | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | ph0rensic, if I do a crtl-f2 emerald right? | 22:42 |
| Darkmystere | also iwconfig nor wifi-radar works for me neither kwifimanager :/... | 22:42 |
| patogen | prince_jammys: Owned by myself an drwxrwxrwx | 22:42 |
| bluefox83 | ComradeMirror, settings->repositories | 22:42 |
| ArmedKing | magnetron, So if i understand correct higher is better | 22:42 |

| Scunizi | ph0rensic, or should I just restart x? | 22:42 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, alt-f2 | 22:42 |
| ejer | ComradeMirror: did you try what i said | 22:42 |
| Junaos | Hey, I am using an ATI Radeon X1650 card, and I can't seem to enable direct rendering of OpenGL. Have followed BinaryHowTo/ATI, to no avail. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/56796/ for all of the relevant pastes I can think of | 22:42 |
| ComradeMirror | How do I update my respository with "sudo apt-get update" | 22:42 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, its alt-f2 sorry | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ComradeMirror: well just follow the instructionss, it shows you right there how to add the erpo | 22:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | *repo | 22:43 |
| prince_jammys | patogen: sudo chmod 755 /home/youruser | 22:43 |
| derwik1 | I'm trying to put in an sshfs entry into my fstab. I've got passwordless ssh setup, and the command runs fine by hand. When I mount -a, I get `read: Connection reset by peer`. When I turn on debug stuff, it looks like it's trying to login as root. In my fstab entry, I have it as: sshfs#aderewe@computer:/path | 22:43 |
| magnetron | ArmedKing: sometimes adding the horiz freq and vertical refresh rate to your xorg.conf can optimise your screen frequencies | 22:43 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, you could restart x also | 22:43 |
| ejer | derwik1: it is trying as root | 22:43 |
| ComradeMirror | "W: GPG error: http://archive.ubuntulinux.jp gutsy/ Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 058A05E90C4ECFEC | 22:43 |

| Scunizi | ph0rensic, got it.. :).. I'll restart x and see what happens.. if all fails I'll come back on irssi | 22:43 |
| ejer | derwik1: try sshfs user@ip | 22:43 |
| magnetron | !fixres > ArmedKing (read private message from ubotu) | 22:43 |

| fezick | what music player do experienced ubuntuvians prefer to use? | 22:46 |
| ph0rensic | Scunizi, no problemo .. | 22:46 |

| derwik1 | ejer: at least, I need to be root to run `mount -a` | 22:46 |
| patrick_ | i need some help with my pc, so i installed steam via wine, and it works... well, when i start a game (teamfortress2) it will show the startup vid and then return to the desktop (with a really fugly resolution) | 22:46 |
| ejer | derwik1: this is not mount, it is sshfs | 22:46 |
| bobdole102 | My system is eating resources like candy. I've edited the startup processes to where only what I need loads at bootup, but my system still refuses to use ANY of my swapspace I've allotted it. Help, please. | 22:47 |
| ejer | fezick: i use amarok | 22:47 |
| derwik1 | ejer: when I put the sshfs entry in /etc/fstab, I can use `mount` to mount it | 22:47 |
| ejer | derwik1: and does it mount? | 22:47 |
| blochsound | hi all, I used to autodep to build amarok and now I have a bunch of extra KDE crap that I don't know how to uninstall. I used make uninstall to get rid of Amarok. | 22:47 |
| fezick | ejer: do you use the gnome or kde WM? | 22:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | bobdole102: what are your system specs? | 22:47 |
| prince_jammys | somebody's /tmp directory permissions are wrong.. they should be drwxrwxrwt -- what is the "t" at the end and how to chmod? | 22:48 |
| ejer | fezick: both | 22:48 |
| derwik1 | ejer: entering the command manually, yes, there is no problem. When it's an entry in fstab, it tries to authenticate as `root` instead of my use account | 22:48 |

| ComradeMirror | how do I Find my SUDO Password if I never had one? | 22:48 |
| ejer | derwik1: I know :) | 22:48 |
| bobdole102 | IndyGunFreak: 2.8 Ghz celeron processor, 2 gigs ram, 300 gb hard drive | 22:48 |
| ComradeMirror | or is it my default password? | 22:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | !sudo | ComradeMirror | 22:48 |
| ubotu | ComradeMirror: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 22:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | ComradeMirror: its most likely your main user password. | 22:49 |
| ph0rensic | !root | ComradeMirror | 22:49 |
| ubotu | ComradeMirror: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 22:49 |
| Xbehave | !compiz seams to be breaking my suspend/ressume on intel drivers is there a fix? | 22:49 |
| blochsound | ComradeMirror: your sudo password is your main user password. | 22:49 |
| fezick | ejer: lol... i am loving amarok but im runnign it in gnome and i get funky errors at time pertaining to kde... i wish i had one handy to share, do you experience this in gnomoe too? | 22:49 |
| patrick_ | i need some help with my pc, so i installed steam via wine, and it works... well, when i start a game (teamfortress2) it will show the startup vid and then return to the desktop (with a really fugly resolution)... when i enter glxgears in terminal it while show up some error message... got an ati radeon 850 i guess, anyone can help? | 22:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | bobdole102: there's something else werong, there's no reason at all that system should be accessing swap. | 22:49 |
| bartmon | prince_jammys: AFAIK the t mens that only thhe user who owns the folder can remove it | 22:49 |

| ejer | derwik1: i think you sshould read up on fuse... the name alone explains your problem | 22:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | bartmon: there's no reason at all that system should ever access swap | 22:50 |
| derwik1 | ejer: what do you mean, the name alone explains my problem? | 22:51 |
| bobdole102 | Indy: Not running anything but gnome, and bartmon, not yet | 22:51 |
| ejer | derwik1: Filesystem in Userspace - userspace != root | 22:51 |

| Takatski | not to mention the ubuntu installer wouldnt let me resize my partition, which im assuming is due to the fact that its NTFS in this first place | 23:30 |
| prince_jammys | Exershio: spaces in names can cause trouble | 23:30 |
| Slart | Takatski: I don't think linux likes fat32 or ntfs for the root fs.. try using ext3 instead | 23:30 |
| Christina18 | Mr_Awesome: ok.. :( | 23:30 |
| ejer | Takatski: linux has its own filesystems, will not use ntfs or fat | 23:30 |
| Exershio | Takatski: I believe you can only install Linux on a ext2/ext3 partition | 23:30 |
| lex | Takatski: use ext3 as fat 32 doesn't allow for 2gb+ files | 23:30 |
| prince_jammys | Exershio: :) long to explain, trust me or look it up :) | 23:30 |
| Slart | Takatski: you can read and write both fat32 and ntfs.. but I don't think you can use those for the actual install | 23:31 |

| Slart | rhineheart_m: ahh.. ok.. then it gets harder.. you could always check the rc-scripts.. I've never messed with those myself but I think they aren't that weird to get a grip on | 23:33 |
| luisgmarine_ | prince_jammys: could it be the fstab entry that I made? I just followed what they guy wrote in the post, I didn't use the exact one from the guide | 23:33 |

| DFlame | nouMenon, if theres no firewall on the hosting computer I'm not sure where to go from there (still fairly new). Maybe someone else can chip in | 23:40 |
| ejer | pen: firefox2 is pretty stable it is addons that make it unstable | 23:40 |
| pen | ejer: to fix it | 23:40 |
| bluefoxx | Bitmess, use sudo for editing the settings | 23:40 |
| pen | ejer: well, that one you got it wrong | 23:41 |

| ejer | as in get data off it fast pen | 23:44 |
| emma | Where is the best place to download the Gutsy live install disk? | 23:44 |
| Bitmess | bluefoxx: No, it's an Intel 915 | 23:44 |
| emperorcezar | Sorry, wrong channel | 23:44 |
| pen | ejer: would it be my kernel is generic? | 23:44 |
| ejer | nouMenon: look on azureus wiki! it is all there, has nothing to do with linux | 23:44 |

| pen | ejer: how do you come to that conclusion? | 23:45 |
| bluefoxx | Bitmess, ah, sorrey i dont have much expirence with intel cards, ive only used nvidia so far, as its done best for my needs | 23:45 |
| pen | ejer: no one told me that | 23:45 |
