| jarrettgreen_ | I've got a IP/Domain/DNS question. I have a dapper box up and running. I use a hosting company, and have say example.com. I have made it so my static IP points to port 80 on my dapper box. Works great. But I'd like instead of typing in the IP, or forwarding dev.example.com to the IP, to actually have the domain registered on the box. Is it possible to do this? I have bind9 running, but don't really understand it. | 00:04 |

However now, the contents of the folder and the icon disappeared but both operating systems are there, could I get some help on this? | 00:10 |
| sudobash | DOOM | 00:10 |
| Flannel | SubOne: Ubuntu won't really run too well on 64M, Xubuntu might. | 00:10 |
| tolecnal | I was in here the other day, talking about a problem I had with my newly installed ubuntu installation freezing on boot. I found out what was wrong, it was the wireless NIC that halts the machine at boot (using ndiswrapper). It's a Marvell based chip, and the problem is known. Just wanted you to know too, always good to spread such information. Just FYI. | 00:10 |
| DOOM_NX | yes i'm using 7.10 | 00:10 |
| storm-zen | ooh.. I want that wall clock too, hehe. | 00:10 |
| DOOM_NX | dual boot with vista. | 00:10 |
| sudobash | yes xubuntu is what he needs | 00:10 |
| SubOne | Flannel: i'll keep that in mind but its what ive got atm | 00:10 |
| cybergig | Vista sucks, XP is better | 00:10 |
| sudobash | and whats the error you get when mounting? | 00:11 |
| SubOne | so then i have no choice but order another cd? | 00:11 |
| Flannel | stroogle: Change it in the virtual host config. /etc/apache2/sites-available/default | 00:11 |
| sudobash | XP is much better than Vista in my opinion | 00:11 |
| DOOM_NX | something like NTFS partition is already in use | 00:11 |
| metxas | storm-zen, i search and search but can't find it | 00:11 |
| sudobash | SubOne how fast is CPU? | 00:11 |
| DOOM_NX | do u want me to reproduce the error? | 00:11 |
| SubOne | 400mhz | 00:11 |
| Flannel | SubOne: I'm not even sure Xubuntu's liveCD would work. You'd need to install with an alternate CD at any rate. | 00:12 |
| Flannel | SubOne: you may look into linuxes designed specifically for older/lighter machines | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | DOOM_NX: The reason that usually happens is when Windows is not shutdown properly. NTFS cannot handle that very well. | 00:12 |
| bobesponja | hi | 00:12 |
| Flannel | SubOne: you could use the minimal CD, which is a 8mb download, but then it downloads all its packages from the web during install. You will, however, be up to date. | 00:13 |
| DOOM_NX | http://pastebin.com/m470e9cd9 | 00:13 |
| DOOM_NX | see the error | 00:13 |
| bobesponja | after using airsnort, my wifi card stopped working, it is not detected anymore :/ any idea how to fix this? | 00:13 |
| sudobash | SubOne no you have to use Alternate install and install Xubuntu when you get that done... or just get the Xubuntu alternate install | 00:13 |
| Flannel | SubOne: You might try contact your LoCo team, see if they can provide you with a CD | 00:13 |
| SubOne | ok so then i just have to order another disc? | 00:13 |
| hischild | DOOM_NX, you can force mount your drive if you want :-) | 00:13 |
| sudobash | Flannel that is good idea | 00:13 |

| sudobash | yes DSL is good | 00:14 |
| hischild | DOOM_NX, yes there is. Mount this drive on a windows machine and then unmount it again. Or you can just force mount it, which under normal circumstances won't corrupt data | 00:15 |
| icesword | hello | 00:15 |
| sudobash | yeah just force mount the drive | 00:15 |
| hischild | DOOM_NX, this is because it wasn't unmounted properly under windows when disconnecting the drive. | 00:15 |

| Pelo | jorje-villafan, to avoid that , I move the /usr/share/gdesklets/ folder to my /home fodler and make a symlink for it in /usr/share/gdesklets | 00:36 |

| zero88 | NB2000, ya it has that in /etc/networkinterfaces | 00:37 |
| rhineheart_m | Is dovecot enough to have squirrelmail to work? | 00:37 |
| zero88 | NB2000, could it be the password type . it has an option for WEP hexideciaml and WEP ascii | 00:38 |
| NB2000 | You could try an ifup wlan0 and you might get some sort of error as opposed to on startup. | 00:38 |

| and | tgtygygtygy | 00:51 |

| Djerodek | The CD stops spinning and it sits on a blank screen without any change | 00:51 |
| Pelo | Djerodek, I recommend you try the alternate instal cd | 00:51 |
| Djerodek | Alternate install cd? | 00:51 |
| icesword | nickrud, finally ,i finished netinstall,but not ubuntu,it is debian,i use that 180m cd of debian | 00:51 |
| donkey_ | well i know that there are going to be some more visual efects like when you resize the window you can bend it and stuf | 00:51 |
| Pelo | Djerodek, text based installer, no live cd desktop to try one , you can get it from the ubuntu webise | 00:52 |
| Pelo | website | 00:52 |
| nickrud | icesword: good on you, you now know much more about how your ubuntu is put together :) | 00:52 |

| Robert125 | Is ubuntu updateable by CD? | 00:52 |

| Pelo | !install > Djerodek check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu | 00:53 |

| iamchris | Hi guys. I have a usb hard drive, and now for some reason it wont let me access and modify the files on the drive. It says I dont have permission. I tried to change the permission, but it says I need to be root. | 00:53 |
| Djerodek | Thanks, Pelo | 00:53 |
| nickrud | Robert125: in other words, without the net you'll have a broken upgrade | 00:53 |
| Robert125 | >Flannel: Thanks | 00:53 |
| donkey_ | well i know that there are going to be some more visual efects like when you resize the window you can bend it and stuf\ | 00:53 |
| Pelo | Djerodek, basicaly you install to it like to anyother hdd , just make sure you set it to boot in the bios, so the grub boot menu gets intalled to taht and not to your regular hdd | 00:53 |
| Pelo | donkey_, what are you talking about ? | 00:54 |

| fabio2 | libavcodec version: 51.48.0 | 01:17 |
| sarthor | ok | 01:17 |
| Flannel | mephux_: single user mode isn't what you want to mediate that then. You just want GDM to not start by default. Single user mode is only for administration | 01:17 |
| Flannel | mephux_: and even then, only when normal methods of admin aren't working | 01:17 |

| Gibb | how do i tell whats using my sound card? | 01:33 |
| kostkon | are these* | 01:33 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, that was the output | 01:33 |
| fabio2 | NO codec for the audio ? | 01:34 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, it looks like the codec is unknown or it has not been set | 01:34 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, audio codec* | 01:34 |
| dfletcher | hey tpw_rules :P | 01:34 |
| dfletcher | bye | 01:34 |
| fabio2 | force it with -acodec mp2 | 01:34 |
| reportingsjr | fabio2, it works with -an | 01:34 |
| reportingsjr | but no sound =\ | 01:34 |
| fabio2 | but you have no audio :P | 01:34 |
| reportingsjr | yeah | 01:35 |
| reportingsjr | so -acodec mp2 it is! | 01:35 |
| fabio2 | or lamemp3 | 01:35 |
| fishie | Question: I tried to shrink a partition so that I could add another partition. However, the operation failed midway (my computer automatically shut down). The partition now looks as if it was never shrunk/edited. Should I be concerned about this partition? | 01:35 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, did you install the version of ffmpeg from the medibuntu repo? | 01:36 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, I got the trunk | 01:36 |
| reportingsjr | and built it | 01:36 |
| micalet | Alguien recuerda un comentario en el código de Unix , en las primeras versiones, que decía algo así como : " No pretendo que comprendas esto" ?? | 01:36 |

| micalet | ok | 01:37 |
| fabio2 | there is also the mencoder ! | 01:37 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, ok. did you enable support even for the restricted formats that the regular ffmpeg does not activate | 01:37 |
| reportingsjr | -acodec mp2 does not work | 01:38 |
| fabio2 | try mp3lame | 01:38 |
| mrunagi | is there anything like rosetta stone for ubuntu? | 01:38 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, why don't you fetch the ffmpeg from medibuntu just to be sure? just an idea of me! | 01:38 |
| sdsheeks | evening folks | 01:39 |
| fabio2 | what is wrong with mp2 ? | 01:39 |
| lem | mrunagi: be more specific | 01:39 |
| reportingsjr | fabio2, no clue | 01:39 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, ok | 01:39 |
| fabio2 | you can adjust sampling rate etc.. to get it working | 01:39 |
| mrunagi | meaning you dont know what rosetta stone is lem? | 01:39 |
| fabio2 | from ffmpeg ? | 01:39 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, try -acodec aac or -acodec ac3 as mp2 does not see to work | 01:39 |
| danbhfive | fishie: how did your computer shutdown again? | 01:40 |
| kostkon | seem* | 01:40 |
| fishie | danbhfive: it was running for 3+ hrs so I don't know exactly what caused the shutdown | 01:40 |
| fishie | danbhfive: when i went to check, my computer was off | 01:40 |
| lem | mrunagi: many pieces of software go by that name | 01:40 |
| danbhfive | fishie: the partitioner was running that long? | 01:40 |
| fishie | danbhfive: yes.. | 01:40 |
| reportingsjr | aac and ac3 not found | 01:41 |
| fishie | danbhfive: im currently running a check on that partition (with GParted) | 01:41 |
| reportingsjr | mp3 doesn't work | 01:41 |
| fishie | danbhfive: is that what i should do/ | 01:41 |
| robert_ | hey guys i am wanting to enable direct rendering using envy on ubuntu 7.10 with an ati x1350 agp card...anybody have any experience doing this | 01:41 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, it looks like you did not compile ffmpeg to support some restrcited formats | 01:41 |
| danbhfive | fishie: I'm not sure, but if something goes wrong, you could loose everything on that partition | 01:41 |
| ryanakca | fishie: You running a live CD? if not, check the logs ... /var/log/syslog probably. | 01:41 |
| fishie | ryanacka: im using GParted Live CD | 01:42 |
| fishie | danbhfive: it was an empty partition | 01:42 |
| Ed-- | I can't see the webcams on http://surfcity-hb.org/visitors/beach_info/LiveBeachCondition.cfm | 01:42 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, it took like 15 minutes to compile too xD | 01:42 |
| Ed-- | any ideas? | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | fishie: empty?! are you sure? | 01:42 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, try the ffmpeg from medibuntu. it will do just fine | 01:42 |
| ryanakca | fishie: this might be excessive... but have you tried using fdisk? | 01:42 |
| danbhfive | fishie: it should not take 3 hours to resize a partition | 01:42 |
| fabio2 | ffmpeg -formats | 01:42 |
| fishie | danbhfive: it was an ext3 partition that I just made from an unformatted partition. i was in the process of shrinking it | 01:43 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, in a bit :) | 01:43 |
| ryanakca | fishie: ah, just a sec... | 01:43 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, yeah do what fabio2 says, good idea | 01:43 |
| fishie | k | 01:43 |
| fishie | ryanakca: what's fdisk? | 01:43 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, fine! medibuntu.com? | 01:43 |
| ryanakca | fishie: its a command line partition resizer. http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions | 01:44 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, w8! did you do the "ffmpeg -formats"? | 01:44 |
| ryanakca | fishie: fdisk - Partition table manipulator for Linux | 01:44 |
| reportingsjr | yes | 01:44 |
| danbhfive | fishie: if its empty, it should resize very quickly i think. I think thats strange that it took SO long to perform that. What you can do, is just delete the partition, and recreate it to the size you want | 01:44 |
| fishie | ryanacka: ok thanks; is this recommended over gparted? | 01:44 |
| ryanakca | fishie: if its empty, can you delete the partition and recreate it? | 01:44 |
| ryanakca | fishie: no | 01:44 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, and? | 01:44 |
| kostkon | !medibuntu | reportingsjr | 01:44 |
| fishie | ryanakca: i believe i can delete it and recreate it, yes | 01:44 |
| ubotu | reportingsjr: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 01:44 |
| ryanakca | fishie: fdisk is /really/ old school | 01:45 |
| danbhfive | fishie: going back to the very long time, that may indicate a harddrive problem | 01:45 |
| fishie | danbhfive: is it quick to delete and recreate it? it took a long time to create the ext3 partition..over 2 hrs | 01:45 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, lots of formats :) | 01:45 |
| fabio2 | the reason we have ogg instead of mp3 i suppose | 01:45 |
| fishie | ryanakca: thot so | 01:45 |
| ryanakca | fishie: if you want to see what its like, open up a terminal and run 'fdisk' ... :) | 01:45 |
| kostkon | reportingsjr, do you see mp3 in the list, for example? | 01:45 |
| reportingsjr | yes | 01:45 |
| fishie | danbhfive: i asked on forums if 2+ hrs was normal for resizing and they said yeah | 01:45 |
| fishie | ryankca: ok ill check it out | 01:46 |
| ryanakca | fishie: 'sudo fdisk /dev/hdwhatever' would be an example, for more help, 'man fdisk' | 01:46 |
| danbhfive | fishie: oh, ok, didnt know that. I thought it was pretty quick | 01:46 |
| reportingsjr | kostkon, yes, I did | 01:46 |
| fishie | ryanakca: man fdisk returns comamnd not found.. but fdisk works | 01:47 |
| fabio2 | for mp3 do ffmpeg - and if you read --enable-libmp3lame you have it | 01:47 |
| Scorpio33M | trying to install internal wireless card here.....which file extension would be the correct one to get it going? (.sys .inf .cat)? | 01:47 |

| kostkon | chris8998, you are running the live cd you said? do you want to install ubuntu or just run it from the live cd | 02:09 |
| jumbers | MasterShrek: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG | 02:10 |
| Anditsu | comTIA has a Linux cert | 02:10 |
| Anditsu | ? | 02:10 |
| Anditsu | cool | 02:10 |

| Scorpio33M | anyone know of a good link to install a wireless..............i have read now for around a week on how to do this.......no getting anywhere | 02:10 |
| MasterShrek | jumbers, interesting, although it is recognized as a wired connection, does it still work? | 02:10 |
| achandrashekar | Does anyone know if the gimp that comes with 7.10 has siox support | 02:10 |
| MasterShrek | Scorpio33M, depends on what kind of card it is | 02:10 |
| jumbers | MasterShrek: No, it stops working | 02:10 |
| AndrewB | Scorpio33M: which chipset? | 02:11 |
| achandrashekar | its supposed to allow for extraction of pictures | 02:11 |
| Scorpio33M | internal wirless | 02:11 |
| Anditsu | Well good info every one thanks | 02:11 |
| Anditsu | brb | 02:11 |
| chad | i guess i need to basically reinstall compiz+fusion and reconfigure gnome.. is there any way to get ubuntu to go back through it's config of this? .. i have the driver working again, but windows have no borders ... just insides... things are screwed up bigtime | 02:11 |
| MasterShrek | jumbers, interesting, i have no experience with that card so unfortunately i cannot help you. i would get a hold of dell maybe, did they give you some kind of support number or something? | 02:11 |
| Scorpio33M | arhteros 5006 | 02:11 |
| Scorpio33M | 5006eg rather | 02:11 |
| jumbers | MasterShrek: Dell doesn't support Ubuntu | 02:11 |
| chris8998 | which i had it installed with my old 8800gts but formated my hdd when the drivers did not work with the new card | 02:12 |
| Anditsu | I'm running it on a dell now | 02:12 |
| danbhfive | chad: how did you get the driver working? | 02:12 |
| Itaku | is there a way to find who remote conneted to my comp? | 02:12 |
| Itaku | there a log? | 02:12 |
| Anditsu | what dell model | 02:12 |
| MasterShrek | Scorpio33M, have you looked in the restricted drivers manager? | 02:12 |
| chad | danbhfive, just reinstalled nvidia-glx and edited xorg.conf to go back to nvidia | 02:12 |
| Anditsu | It run great on my Latitude | 02:13 |
| kostkon | chris8998, then you should install it and then try to fix any graphics card driver problems. you didn't have to format your system though | 02:13 |
| danbhfive | chad: can you undo that? and instead do it through the restricted drivers manager | 02:13 |
| prettyricky | is there anything like netmeeting for ubuntu 7.10 | 02:13 |
| Scorpio33M | MasterShrek says it is there and inabled.....but not in use | 02:13 |
| kostkon | prettyricky, ekiga | 02:13 |
| chad | but gnome/X is still all screwed up .. i have no idea where my window borders went | 02:13 |
| chad | where is the restricted driver manager? | 02:14 |
| rhombus | Has anybody here written working udev rules? | 02:14 |
| MasterShrek | Scorpio33M, interesting, ifconfig -a doesnt show it? | 02:14 |
| prettyricky | does it work like netmeeting? | 02:14 |
| chris8998 | it was a really bad night b/c my windows drivers got messed up and i almost just gave up the hole thing lol so i new is was not that hard | 02:14 |
| chad | i'd like to have ubuntu reconfigure X, because this isn't right whatever it is using now | 02:14 |
| kostkon | prettyricky, you can im netmeeting users too | 02:14 |
| chad | close, but not right | 02:14 |
| chris8998 | to reload ubuntu | 02:14 |
| Scorpio33M | system/admin | 02:14 |
| Flannel | prettyricky: Ekiga speaks to netmeeting (they both use H.323) | 02:14 |
| IndyGunFreak | chad: are you using compiz? | 02:14 |
| chad | just want to go back to what it was before .. but all the backups are wrong at this point | 02:14 |
| === siph0n is now known as Siph0n | ||
| chad | IndyGunFreak, yeah | 02:14 |
| prettyricky | ok, thank you very much | 02:14 |
| Itaku | is there a log file of the vnc server that came with the ubuntu? | 02:14 |
| chris8998 | i guess what i am trying to say is that how do i ifix the prob? | 02:14 |
| kostkon | prettyricky, it's already installed, if you use ubuntu | 02:15 |
| danbhfive | chad: installing through the restricted drivers manager does other things for setup, that gets compiz working, for now, you can just disable compiz | 02:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | chad: don't know if it still exists, but for a while there, there was a bug in Compiz and some cards, that caused the window borders to go away, there's a fix, but i don't remember it. | 02:15 |
| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| chad | IndyGunFreak, pretty sure this is related to xconfig as it was fine before i started messing with it | 02:15 |
| msergiu | hello, how to install php ? | 02:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | chad: oh ok.., sounds like it. | 02:15 |
| kostkon | chris8998, I suppose firstly you will have to install ubuntu again | 02:15 |
| chad | danbhfive - where do i access the restricted drivers manager? | 02:15 |
| Itaku | is there a log file of the vnc server that came with the ubuntu? | 02:16 |
| MasterShrek | Itaku, look in /var/log | 02:16 |
| Scorpio33M | system/admin | 02:16 |
| danbhfive | chad: its restricted-manager from a terminal | 02:16 |
| chris8998 | ok | 02:16 |
| Itaku | thx | 02:16 |
| illmortal | does anyone know how to install flash on ubuntu 7.10 on a ppc64 architecture? | 02:16 |
| kazol_ | I cannot write to a SD card-I get an error msg that it's read-only. | 02:17 |
| storm-zen | !mp3 | 02:17 |
| ubotu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 02:17 |
| AndrewB | illmortal: doubt you will get it, could alternativly try !gnash | 02:17 |
| chad | meh, can't load a terminal .. comes up as a dead white block | 02:17 |
| storm-zen | illmortal: Can you install FreeFormats, above? | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | chad: you're probably gonna have to reconfigure x from the sound of it. | 02:18 |
| kazol_ | I cannot write to a SD card-I get an error msg that it's read-only. | 02:19 |
| illmortal | storm-zen i don't understand... | 02:19 |
| chad | IndyGunFreak, definitely.. i just want ubuntu to do it, instead of me | 02:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | chad: lol, good luck w/ that | 02:19 |
| danbhfive | chad: can you access the menus? | 02:19 |
| chad | danbhfive, yes | 02:19 |
| fevel | hay | 02:19 |
| chad | IndyGunFreak, shouldn't be an unreasonable proposal .. after all, ubuntu did it when i installed | 02:19 |
| storm-zen | illmortal: It would have helped a little if I had said 'restricted' formats, not free... | 02:20 |
| fevel | whats that firefox plugin that lets me play videos on an external player like totem??? | 02:20 |
| chad | danbhfive, found it | 02:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | chad: but you bonked it up, so you'll likely have to reconfigure it. | 02:20 |
| danbhfive | chad: System > Preferences > Appearance | 02:20 |
| storm-zen | When I installed it, it installed everything from Sun Java to Flash to MP3s. ( But I'm not ppc64 ) | 02:20 |
| danbhfive | chad: go to the last tab, and turn off the graphics | 02:20 |
| chad | ok .. got my window borders back :) | 02:21 |
| luckyshot | how come when i try to connect to my remote pc through vnc it says "unable to connect to host: connection refused (111)" ? | 02:21 |
| kazol_ | Any ideas? I still can't write to the SD card. | 02:21 |
| danbhfive | chad: if you found the manager, remove the driver, reboot, then add the driver, all through the manager | 02:21 |
| MasterShrek | kazol_, did it auto-mount? | 02:22 |
| MasterShrek | kazol_, use sudo from the terminal | 02:22 |
| kazol_ | MasterShrek: sudo mount? | 02:22 |
| MasterShrek | sudo cp | 02:22 |
| chad | danbhfive, it just gave me the opportunity to disable the driver, not remove | 02:22 |
| MasterShrek | kazol_, did you manually mount it or did it automatically mount when you inserted it? | 02:22 |
| danbhfive | chad: ok, i think thats good enough, i dunno | 02:22 |
| ComradeMirror | I have a question | 02:22 |
| MasterShrek | !ask | ComradeMirror | 02:23 |
| ComradeMirror | Can Pidgin get xdcc transfers from irc? | 02:23 |
| ubotu | ComradeMirror: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 02:23 |
| kazol_ | MasterShrek: It automatically mounted the card; it worked perfectly before. | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | ComradeMirror, good question, try it out | 02:23 |
| fishie | Question: I am currently installing Ubuntu. In the "Prepare partitions" dialog box, should I check both ext3 '/' and ext3 '/home' to be formatted? | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | kazol_, not sure then, if you use sudo you should be able to mount it | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | fishie, did you have a previous install of ubuntu on there? | 02:23 |
| prettyricky | how do I get the port restriction of for Ekiga? | 02:23 |
| chad | gotta reboot, brb | 02:23 |
| fishie | MasterShrek: No | 02:23 |
| MasterShrek | err kazol_ not mount, write to it i mean | 02:24 |
| MasterShrek | fishie, then you can format them both | 02:24 |
| achandrashekar | Hello. Does anyone know what it takes to enable the Siox tool in Ubuntu for gimp? | 02:24 |
| fishie | MasterShrek: ok thanks | 02:24 |
| MasterShrek | achandrashekar, ask in #gimp maybe | 02:24 |
| luckyshot | how come when i try to connect to my remote pc through vnc it says "unable to connect to host: connection refused (111)" ? | 02:24 |
| achandrashekar | MasterShrek: its a pointing the finger at the other channel issue. | 02:24 |
| achandrashekar | MasterShrek: they claim something is not enabled | 02:25 |
| kazol_ | MasterShrek: It works erratically. | 02:25 |
| MasterShrek | luckyshot, try by ip and not hostname maybe, also make sure a vnc server is running | 02:25 |
| MasterShrek | achandrashekar, well they should be able to tell you what isnt enabled, the fact that something isnt enabled doesnt help at all | 02:26 |
| luckyshot | Master, im running a remote server on a windows machine | 02:26 |
| achandrashekar | MaterShrek: I wish they a bit more helpful myself..id hate to compile it from source just to get it to work... | 02:26 |
| achandrashekar | MasterShrek: not that I cant do that... | 02:27 |
| mzuverink | can you name 2 seperate partitions on 2 seperate drives as /home and it act as one /home partition | 02:27 |
| achandrashekar | :) | 02:27 |
| adorablepuppy | is there a version of OOo through apt-get that uses mdbtools in OOo Base? | 02:27 |
| MasterShrek | mzuverink, it may be possible | 02:27 |
| AndrewB | adorablepuppy: try apt-cache search mdbtools possibly? | 02:28 |
| MasterShrek | !lvm | mzuverink | 02:28 |
| ubotu | mzuverink: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO | 02:28 |
| daedalus2_ | mzuverink, you would have to use raid devices for that | 02:28 |
| adel | hey, am looked out X (removed ati graphic card) now using built in one, how do I reconfigure xorg? | 02:28 |

| nickrud | adel: at the command prompt (hit enter when you see rc.local, if necessary) type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 02:29 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: If it is jerky then you may need to make one change in xorg.. to disabler composite.. let me look in my notes | 02:48 |
| ka2 | towlie: try pushing Print Screen | 02:48 |
| Shkeve | k | 02:48 |
| towlie | i dont have a printscreen button | 02:48 |
| towlie | im running ubuntu on a macbook | 02:48 |
| ka2 | towlie: a laptop? | 02:48 |
| towlie | yes | 02:48 |
| ka2 | towlie: oh | 02:48 |
| philphoto | nickrud: i get as follows 2590? 00:00:06 udevd | 02:48 |
| soldats | towlie: theres a screenshot selection in the menu | 02:49 |
| towlie | which menu | 02:49 |
| ka2 | soldats: not for me | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: Option "Composite" "disable" IN YOUR XORG TO SEE IF THAT FIXES JERKY VIDEO | 02:49 |
| soldats | aplications menu towlie | 02:49 |
| kostkon | towlie, Applications -> accessories | 02:49 |
| nickrud | philphoto: then you certainly have udev, and it's running. Your problem is something else | 02:49 |
| towlie | ok | 02:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: Sorry for the caps | 02:49 |
| ka2 | kostkon: ah i was looking in graphics | 02:49 |
| Shkeve | jack, won't that disable my desktop effects? | 02:49 |
| Presario | hey guys, do you know how to install grub manually? because I'm having error 15 | 02:49 |
| ka2 | Shkeve: yes it will | 02:49 |
| kostkon | ka2, :) | 02:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: PLease just try it and see if that fixes wmv. | 02:50 |
| Shkeve | so, I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too then, but I'll try it | 02:50 |
| philphoto | nickrud: well, when I reboot, system shows unable to create /dev/.udev/........ | 02:50 |
| ka2 | Shkeve: run grub-install --help in a terminal | 02:50 |
| philphoto | nickrud: in the end, problem is that i have no usb at all, but all my devices work on other computers | 02:51 |
| panfist | ok so i was experimenting with performance in different video cards and different settings... i started off with nvidia, then ati, and after a few times rebooting the ATI card suddnly X would not work with the kernel framebuffer enabled. Neither will the nvidia card. no matter how many times i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, it wont work. i dunno what i may have screwed up | 02:51 |
| nickrud | philphoto: hm, a different error | 02:51 |
| ka2 | Shkeve: sorry wrong person | 02:51 |
| ka2 | Presario: run grub-install --help in a terminal | 02:51 |
| nickrud | philphoto: do a google search for the exact error you get ... | 02:51 |
| philphoto | i will have to wait until shutdown and then how do i pause long enough to copy full error. | 02:52 |
| nickrud | philphoto: you'll probably be able to find that error string in /var/log/syslog | 02:52 |
| joack | exec gnome-session & is what i needed ;) | 02:53 |
| gangadjinn | is there a way I can make the ALT button NOT move my window when playing a game?? I use the alt button while playing wow alot, and everytime I have to adjust my window again, and yes... I am using a diffrent one.. .just my fingers is pretty used to doing alt + something | 02:53 |
| philphoto | nickrud: how to read without screwing up the log? | 02:53 |
| ka2 | gangadjinn: yes there is | 02:53 |
| ka2 | gangadjinn: i will check where | 02:53 |
| Shkeve | jack, disabling composite didn't work | 02:54 |
| fastfinger | I have a laptop that cannot be connected to internet and dosenot have make files or dpkg, any way to install make in it so i can install other stuff on it | 02:54 |
| gangadjinn | thanks | 02:54 |
| panfist | if i have switched video cards a couple times how can i make sure my system is clean of old drivers | 02:54 |
| nickrud | philphoto: you won't screw it up, it's owned by root. You can use less /var/log/syslog in a terminal, or use gedit /var/log/syslog. | 02:54 |
| ka2 | gangadjinn: System > Preferences > Windows | 02:54 |
| Shkeve | unless you think I should reboot & try again | 02:54 |
| Anditsu | Ok peace out every body | 02:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: Did you restart after editing xorg? | 02:55 |
| Anditsu | happy coding | 02:55 |
| getoo | whats a good screen capture ( aka camstusio .winblows or iShowU .mac) | 02:55 |
| nickrud | panfist: no need to worry about extra drivers on the system, you have dozens that you're not using already. They're just there | 02:55 |
| getoo | i need a gui one | 02:55 |

| AutoMatriX | hello folx, is there, somebody with PXE-experience here ? | 02:57 |
| storm-zen | is there a way to run a program with sudo from (ALT) F2 ? | 02:57 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: use gksudo | 02:58 |
| nickrud | storm-zen: use gksu | 02:58 |
| philphoto | nickrud: no mention of udev in syslog | 02:58 |
| gangadjinn | storm... you just write sudo in front of it | 02:58 |
| storm-zen | gksudo.. ok. thanks. | 02:58 |
| nickrud | philphoto: you found the startup sequence? | 02:58 |
| philphoto | yup | 02:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | biabia: not sure what all you did to that system.. .. I dont have time to help you untangle it.. but someone else will.. take care | 02:58 |
| calyth | quick question, how do I force a modules to load on boot? is it still /etc/modules? | 02:58 |
| biabia | thanks | 02:58 |
| nickrud | philphoto: bottom line, without the exact error message, it's very hard (nigh on to impossible) to troubleshoot | 02:59 |
| storm-zen | gangadjinn: Oh, so that works too... why did I think it would have to be a gtk program? | 02:59 |
| donkey_ | which compiz pack do i download for the extra visual effects????? | 02:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !ccsm | 02:59 |

| Shkeve | jack, I just rebooted, and vlc still doesn't play wmv clearly | 02:59 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: it does have to be a gui one | 02:59 |
| AutoMatriX | I'll try it the other way : is there a way to set up a system on an USB dongle via PXE ? | 02:59 |
| Shkeve | composite is disabled | 02:59 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: gnome: gksudo kde: kdesu | 02:59 |
| gangadjinn | storm-zen, in a terminal or in bash just use sudo... | 02:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: DO you have effects still working? | 02:59 |
| storm-zen | ka2: Oh. well, "sudo firestarter" worked fine with ALT F2. | 03:00 |
| Shkeve | no I don't | 03:00 |
| philphoto | nickrud: fantastic. i have reloaded this machine 4 times now trying different distros with different dates. flashed my bios just before this install | 03:00 |
| philphoto | nickrud: still no joy | 03:00 |
| nickrud | storm-zen: that is working because you used sudo in the last 15 minutes | 03:00 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: unless you need to type the password :) | 03:00 |
| donkey_ | which compiz pack do i download for the extra visual effects????? | 03:00 |
| gangadjinn | in my experiance, gksudo, and kdesu can be unpredictable... | 03:00 |

| nickrud | philphoto: some things can be frustrating. I've run into them myself while learning. But without the error message, I'm pretty much at a loss. There's just too many branches on the troubleshooting tree | 03:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Shkeve: Read this page... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI that is where it says to disable composite and make some other xorg changes.. is your xorg in the pastebin.. I have time for a quick look. | 03:01 |

| therealpxc | well, I already have | 03:03 |
| gangadjinn | I was thinking of using the trasparent and such... the rest don't really fuzz me alot | 03:03 |
| therealpxc | it's a KDE4 (and other KDE packages) repo | 03:03 |
| ka2 | therealpxc: oh i see | 03:03 |
| therealpxc | I don't really want it, it's screwing with my kdelibs install and messed up my dcop stuff | 03:03 |
| ka2 | therealpxc: do you want to remove KDE4? | 03:03 |
| therealpxc | so Amarok no longer detects media devices I have plugged in | 03:03 |
| therealpxc | I don't have KDE4 installed... I removed it a while ago. at the same time, I attempted to remove the repo | 03:03 |
| usp | hi 2 all! | 03:04 |
| therealpxc | result was a bunch of packages installed from the ppa repo that I couldn't reinstall | 03:04 |
| therealpxc | because apt wanted to install the ppa versions | 03:04 |
| ka2 | therealpxc: that part could be difficult to repair any suggestions anyone????? | 03:04 |

| towlieban | where do i find software sources | 03:18 |
| Elda | bleh | 03:18 |
| luckyshot | sudo apt-get install grdesktop -> when i enter that command it says not installble due to broken packages | 03:18 |
| Stoffer | fastfinger, ok, well now it looks like it's copying but it's being extremely slow.... 20 sec to get to 4% of an mp3 | 03:18 |
| zcat[1] | ka2: totally ... they've got a bunck of stuff up, over a thousands videos | 03:18 |
| victorribeiro | hi everyone | 03:18 |
| Canzer69 | excuse me but what do i do if /etc/modules do not load ndiswrapper? | 03:18 |
| ka2 | Elda: do "/msg ubotu !compiz" | 03:18 |
| ka2 | zcat[1]: is it really them? | 03:18 |
| victorribeiro | do you guys heard anything about ati making some drivers for linux? | 03:18 |
| ka2 | victorribeiro: they have done for years | 03:18 |
| ka2 | !ati | victorribeiro: | 03:18 |
| ubotu | victorribeiro:: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:18 |
| Canzer69 | i have to type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper after boot | 03:18 |
| Elda | Thank you ka2 :) | 03:19 |
| victorribeiro | hey, nice | 03:19 |
| zcat[1] | ka2: if it wasn't, I doubt they would have allowed a user named 'sonybmg' to upload over a thousand videos in their name without saying something.. | 03:19 |
| ka2 | Elda: im kind of new to irc | 03:19 |
| victorribeiro | i have a ati radeon xpress 1150 and I cant use compiz on it | 03:19 |
| ka2 | zcat[1]: i guess it would be suspicous :) | 03:19 |
| Elda | Im not that knew, I just didnt know how to get ubotu to message me with a topic lol | 03:20 |
| _Oz_ | is there a way to power up an ubuntu machine remotely? | 03:20 |
| Elda | *new | 03:20 |
| zcat[1] | ka2: I was surprised as heck, but it looks like it's legit. | 03:20 |
| ka2 | Elda: yes but i am :) - yesterday :) | 03:20 |
| victorribeiro | ka2, thanks man | 03:20 |
| Canzer69 | anyone? | 03:20 |
| victorribeiro | ubotu nice | 03:20 |
| ubotu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:20 |
| towlieban | i tried installing the package flex with apt-get. why does it ask me to to inset the ubuntu CD ? i dont have it available | 03:21 |
| ka2 | _Oz_: wakeup on lan? bios feature on some mothereboards | 03:21 |
| zcat[1] | !nice | 03:21 |
| _Oz_ | ka2: not a bad thought | 03:21 |
| zcat[1] | towlieban: go into sources and untick the CD | 03:21 |
| _Oz_ | it's a pretty old computer though | 03:21 |
| ka2 | _Oz_: as far as i know your only chance thoug :( | 03:22 |
| ka2 | *though | 03:22 |
| _Oz_ | thanks for the idea | 03:22 |
| _Oz_ | I'll look into it | 03:22 |
| TrustNoOne | aint no holla back girl | 03:22 |
| _Oz_ | I have a headless ubuntu machine and I want it to be pure remote -- never have to see it, never have to touch it | 03:22 |
| z0man | aw cool I've got via apt:P | 03:22 |
| ka2 | TrustNoOne: umm what was that supposed to meen | 03:22 |
| _Oz_ | but for that to happen I have to have a way to physically start it, i.e. after power outage | 03:23 |
| ka2 | !offtopic | TrustNoOne was that offtopic? | 03:23 |
| ubotu | TrustNoOne was that offtopic?: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 03:23 |
| TrustNoOne | lawl | 03:23 |
| zcat[1] | _Oz_: usually you just set the bios to always-on | 03:23 |
| towlieban | zcat i cant do that | 03:23 |

| Rukus | my KDE 3 session wont load. but KDE4 will and Gnome will. any ideas? | 03:24 |
| ka2 | _Oz_: would be interested to see them | 03:24 |
| ka2 | Rukus: is KDE4 conflicting with KDE3 | 03:25 |
| Rukus | it shouldn't be. it wasn't before | 03:25 |
| towlieban | can anyone help me | 03:25 |
| illmortal | Woooot gnash + GStreamer codec = Flash playback on PS3! | 03:25 |
| ka2 | Rukus: when did it start? after an upgrade etc | 03:26 |
| towlieban | i dont have "software sources" in the system->administration menu | 03:26 |
| zero88 | Hm, i could have swore there was a theme manager in Ubuntu, but i couldnt find it, How do i change themes? | 03:26 |
| Rukus | yeah | 03:26 |
| Rukus | i think its because of some upgrading | 03:26 |
| ka2 | illmortal: i never had much luck with gnash - im on amd64 & have resorted to 32bit firefox :( | 03:26 |
| grte | system > preferences > themes or something | 03:26 |
| zcat[1] | towlieban: start synaptic.. settings > repositories | 03:26 |
| grte | Been awhile since I used gnome | 03:26 |
| grte | Or you could just edit ~/.gtkrc-2.0 | 03:26 |
| ka2 | grte: appearance in gnome 2.20 | 03:27 |
| illmortal | XD | 03:27 |
| zero88 | grte ya there isnt something like that there.looked already | 03:27 |
| ka2 | Rukus: what repos for kde4? | 03:27 |
| grte | Well, it'll be around somewhere. | 03:27 |
| zero88 | ka2 ah appearance | 03:27 |
| illmortal | i dunno if 32bit will work well with Playstation 3 | 03:27 |

| arooni-mobile | help!!! my ml-1740 samsung printer has been abducted by virtualbox winxp... i can print from the VM but no longer thru ubuntu (even when virtualbox is turned off)..... any ideas? | 03:27 |
| mcquaid | curious about wubi. i read in the faqs that you can't currently use existing free space yet. | 03:27 |
| towlieban | bazhang, install the package flex but its asking me for the ubuntu cd | 03:27 |
| mcquaid | but isn't that the whole point? so one doesn't have to make another partition | 03:27 |
| ka2 | illmortal: no that was for amd64 as it is x86 32bit compatible | 03:28 |
| grte | find ~ -regex .*gtkrc.* | 03:28 |
| zcat[1] | towlieban: start synaptic.. settings > repositories > untick the CD sources, click reload | 03:28 |
| victorribeiro | how do I send a msg to someone? | 03:28 |
| ka2 | Rukus: so there shouldn't be problems there but i will just check | 03:28 |
| bazhang | towlieban: open up synaptic package manager and disable the cd as source, hit reload/refresh then try again | 03:28 |
| ka2 | victorribeiro: use /msg | 03:28 |
| illmortal | ah understood ka2 | 03:28 |
| victorribeiro | yeah, but I dont think its working | 03:28 |
| ka2 | victorribeiro: /msg <nickname> message | 03:28 |
| ka2 | without the < & >s | 03:29 |
| Rukus | i'd just say "whatever" to it, if KDE4 were as useful to me as KDE 3 | 03:29 |
| bazhang | mcquaid: you best wait for 8.04 when wubi will be officially supported and much more robust than now | 03:29 |
| grte | dwm is where it's at, anyways. | 03:29 |
| bazhang | victorribeiro: you need to register; /msg ubotu register | 03:30 |
| ka2 | Rukus: maybe try #kubuntu first? | 03:30 |
| bazhang | or #kubuntu-kde4 | 03:30 |
| Rukus | man it hits the splash screen, initialising services, then throws me back to login | 03:30 |
| Rukus | i tired no one got back to me | 03:30 |
| ka2 | Rukus: tried kubuntu-kde4 as suggested by bazhung? | 03:31 |
| mcquaid | bazhang, yes i get that, but i want to clarify what it does currently. you don't have to make a partition but you can't install in free space | 03:31 |
| Rukus | i missed that | 03:32 |
| mcquaid | so what does it do? format your existing ntfs part (with windows in it?) | 03:32 |
| Rukus | what do you want me to try with that? | 03:32 |
| victorribeiro | hell, i dont remeber how to use this anymore | 03:32 |
| billy_ | hello? | 03:32 |
| Rukus | ka 2 what do you want me to try with that? | 03:32 |
| billy_ | hello? | 03:32 |
| bazhang | mcquaid: no idea what it does currently--the 8.04 version will allow you to install it inside of windows and launch from there | 03:32 |
| Rukus | ka2 rather | 03:32 |
| victorribeiro | bazhang how I register? | 03:32 |
| billy_ | can someone help me out please? | 03:32 |
| Rukus | olol sorryy thgats a room | 03:33 |

| billy_ | im also using a live cd | 03:34 |
| zcat[1] | billy_ do the cd check? | 03:34 |
| billy_ | i checked the hash before i burned it | 03:34 |
| billy_ | and when i did the check it did the same thing | 03:34 |
| mcquaid | i searched ubuntu forums and their site | 03:34 |
| zcat[1] | billy_ do the self-test as well.. what speed did you burn it? | 03:35 |

| victorribeiro | identify doutor | 03:50 |
| Amaranth | orbisvicis: They do | 03:50 |
| biabia | i installed ubuntu, then the xfce and kde desktops, and a bunch of other stuff. is there a way for me to reinstall, wiping everything except whats in my own home folder? | 03:50 |
| orbisvicis | Amaranth, oh. nice job | 03:51 |
| nickrud | Amaranth: you're on the list, good enough for me | 03:51 |
| Amaranth | orbisvicis: I know Mandriva dropped their custom setup for it, Fedora has it, OpenSuSE probably does too | 03:51 |
| ka2 | biabia: backup your home folder first :) | 03:51 |
| train | anyone? | 03:51 |
| biabia | back it up to where | 03:51 |
| Amaranth | orbisvicis: It is a GNOME project included in the Desktop release, I suspect every distro that has GNOME has it | 03:51 |
| rich1 | hi. i'm trying to change my network settings to opendns. but the new settings won't stick on reboot. what should i do? | 03:51 |
| victorribeiro | nickserv is #ubuntu? | 03:51 |
| ka2 | biabia: your choice :) | 03:51 |
| biabia | too much stuff to burn onto dvds | 03:51 |

| rinseout | what is the best way to partition 80G for a basic laptop user? | 03:52 |
| ka2 | biabia: tricky problem | 03:52 |
| biabia | its my first linux install, and i'd have done a lot better if i'd stayed with one desktop i think. but i really like xfce. i think thats what i want to put on here | 03:53 |
| ka2 | rinseout: depends on what you use it for, what operating systems | 03:53 |
| biabia | ill figure something out | 03:53 |
| ka2 | biabia: so use xubuntu? | 03:53 |
| synsand | how to create a root acount in ubuntu | 03:53 |
| biabia | is there anything youd recommend backing up besides whats in the home folder? | 03:53 |
| rinseout | ka2:just office, web, internet, maybe some media. XP might go on later, but i'm leaving free space for that. | 03:53 |
| ka2 | biabia: you can uninstall the others. with difficulty | 03:53 |
| chris0 | synsand: sudo passwd | 03:53 |
| rich1 | can anyone help me with my network settings please? | 03:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 03:54 |
| ubotu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 03:54 |
| synsand | chris0: thanks | 03:54 |
| ka2 | root, swap and maybe home? | 03:54 |
| biabia | ka2. ya. i want it cleaner than that. im having troubles now because ive played with it so much. too much | 03:54 |
| rinseout | i just didn't know if it made sense to separate home or not. | 03:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rinseout: Yes.. absolutely | 03:54 |
| chris0 | synsand: although, do listen to the bot too. use a root password at your own risk | 03:54 |
| bazhang | depends on how much you want to do fresh install like me ;] | 03:55 |
| rinseout | so 25 root, 55 home or so? | 03:55 |
| zero88 | Can someone help me with my wireless.? | 03:55 |
| ka2 | biabia: i guess a good reason to have a home partition but a little to late for that | 03:55 |
| biabia | upon my next install i could try to do that? | 03:55 |
| slenentine | rinseout: root doesn't need to be that large | 03:55 |
| bazhang | rinseout: and a bit for swap should do fine--though 25 seems excessive for / | 03:55 |
| ka2 | biabia: it might be a good idea | 03:55 |
| rinseout | so what's good for / ? | 03:55 |
| slenentine | rinseout: say 10 | 03:55 |
| biabia | im not sure how to make partitions. maybe i could do that before i reinstall? | 03:56 |
| === dibz is now known as mohadib | ||

| zero88 | Can someone help me with my wireless.? My wireless card is working because i can see my wireless network, but when i try to connect, for some reason it doesnt work. When i reboot my system i do get an ip, but i still cant connect? anyone have any suggestions? | 03:56 |
| ka2 | biabia: in the ubuntu installer | 03:56 |
| victorribeiro | ka2: how do I send someones a msg highlighted? | 03:56 |
| zero88 | biabia just boot into the livecd | 03:56 |
| chris0 | zero88: do you have an atheros card? | 03:56 |
| zero88 | chris0, no its a realtek | 03:56 |
| rinseout | ext3 or reiser? | 03:56 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: are you running encryption? | 03:56 |
| ka2 | biabia: but then you may end up getting rid of your data eek | 03:56 |
| victorribeiro | bazhang, can you read me?! | 03:56 |
| Jangari | zero88: are you sure it's not at the router's end? | 03:56 |
| ka2 | rinseout: whatever your preference | 03:57 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, yes i am, wep | 03:57 |
| bazhang | victorribeiro: hehe yes | 03:57 |
| biabia | oh. ill do some backing up first | 03:57 |
| biabia | thanks | 03:57 |
| zero88 | jangari no im not sure of that either | 03:57 |
| orbisvicis | thank you however maintains fluxbox ... for compiling with IMLIB2 !!! | 03:57 |
| Jangari | check that primarily | 03:57 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: and properly entered wep code in?? | 03:57 |
| rinseout | ka2 i have none. usually i go for ext3. | 03:57 |
| victorribeiro | bazhang, thanks for your patiance man, I really apricieted that | 03:57 |
| ka2 | biabia: maybe all of it | 03:57 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, yes i know that for sure | 03:57 |
| ka2 | rinseout: same :) | 03:57 |
| bazhang | no worries victorribeiro ;] | 03:57 |
| biabia | ya | 03:57 |
| Jangari | achandrashekar: if s/he is getting an ip, s/he can connect to the router no worries, | 03:57 |

| NetEcho | anyone know how to get the radeon drivers installed for Ubuntu? | 03:58 |
| ka2 | !ati | NetEcho | 03:58 |
| ubotu | NetEcho: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 03:58 |
| achandrashekar | Jangari:good point.. | 03:58 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, i remember one time turning off encryption and it worked. maybe i should try that | 03:58 |
| biabia | yes. ill do all my backups before i make any more changes | 03:58 |
| bazhang | train2 try #ubuntu+1 | 03:58 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: id try that again..but before you do...can you ping the router?? | 03:58 |
| Jangari | zero88: restarting occasionally is very effective in these cases also | 03:58 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: and you have an internal dns resolver of some sort right?? | 03:58 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, Jangari , yes i deleted my dns servers and everything and booted up only using wireless, and it was able to obtain those also | 03:58 |
| ka2 | biabia: could take a while. thats the problem with big hdds these days | 03:59 |
| NetEcho | ka2 thanks | 03:59 |
| storm-zen | It seems that some partitions on an external drive disappeared from the desktop. How do I get them back? | 03:59 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, no cannot ping, but doesnt say cannot locate host, just sits there and does nothing | 03:59 |
| Jangari | are they mounted, storm-zen? | 03:59 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: ping by ip?? or host? | 03:59 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: did you unmount them? | 03:59 |
| NetEcho | man Ubuntu is the windows of linux without all the hassel heh | 03:59 |
| bazhang | storm-zen: when did this start? what did you do before that happened? | 03:59 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, ping www.yahoo.com | 03:59 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: windows of linux? | 03:59 |
| towlieban | what package do i install for the X development headers | 03:59 |
| NetEcho | ka2 not in the bad sense | 03:59 |
| Jangari | some occasional hassle, NetEcho | 04:00 |
| AtomicSpark | ack! i was being attacked by trackerd. | 04:00 |
| NetEcho | its nice and user friendly | 04:00 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: ping the router by ip | 04:00 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: i used to have lots of hassles in windows | 04:00 |
| orbisvicis | reactOS is the linux of the windows : | | 04:00 |
| NetEcho | ka2 windows is a hassel in its own | 04:00 |
| bazhang | haha | 04:00 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, well i will be bacl, im going to try a few other things | 04:00 |
| storm-zen | Jangari: They are not listed when I type in mount. ka2: I did not unmount them on purpose. | 04:00 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: i prefer to to think of ubuntu as the mac os x of linux :) | 04:00 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, Jangari thanks for the help | 04:00 |
| NetEcho | ka2 yea actually that would be more accurate | 04:00 |
| achandrashekar | zero88: then ping this - 72.14.207.99 | 04:00 |
| orbisvicis | hehe i strongly prefer not to | 04:00 |
| towlieban | what package do i install for the X development headers? | 04:00 |
| zero88 | achandrashekar, k | 04:00 |
| achandrashekar | I think you might be having DNS resolution issues | 04:01 |
| Jangari | zero88: i'd check the router's connection to the internet first and foremost | 04:01 |
| NetEcho | ka2 I'm extremely impressed by it | 04:01 |
| ka2 | Jangari: if all of them are unmounted unlplug it and plug it back in | 04:01 |
| storm-zen | bazhang: Not really sure. Been playing with every application I can, from compiz, to MP3 players, to a screenlet program that I found that puts a clock on the desktop. :) I just found Ubuntu. :) | 04:01 |
| biabia | ka2 luckily for me this is an older pc. only an 80 gig drive and only about 60gb full | 04:01 |
| achandrashekar | if the above works..that is. | 04:01 |
| bazhang | towlieban: you want to compile? | 04:01 |
| achandrashekar | anyhow. | 04:01 |
| towlieban | yes | 04:01 |
| Jangari | ka2? | 04:01 |
| ka2 | Jangari: yes what? | 04:01 |
| towlieban | bazhang, well install it in apt-get | 04:01 |
| bazhang | build-essential towlieban | 04:01 |
| towlieban | what about it | 04:02 |
| Jangari | i don't think that last one was directed at me, that's all | 04:02 |
| storm-zen | I see that playing music causes the tone not to sound for IRC, still, though. | 04:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !build-essential | 04:02 |
| ubotu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 04:02 |
| ka2 | Jangari: sorry | 04:02 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: if all of them are unmounted unlplug it and plug it back in | 04:02 |
| NetEcho | ka2 that certainly fixed a few of my issues right there | 04:02 |
| bazhang | storm-zen: I usually have my music so loud I cant tell the difference ;] | 04:03 |
| storm-zen | ka2: Rather do it with software. Is there a way? | 04:03 |
| NetEcho | I take it they're marked as restricted drivers because they are propriatary? | 04:03 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: what fixed it sorry im doing lots | 04:03 |
| towlieban | bazhang, what do you mean about build essential | 04:03 |
| storm-zen | bazhang: :) | 04:03 |
| bazhang | towlieban: you want to compile things? then that is what you want | 04:03 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: yes but its easier to do it with hardware | 04:03 |
| Jangari | storm-zen: are they usually mounted automatically on startup? | 04:03 |
| NetEcho | ka2 lots of video lags and the fact that the resolution it said it was running wasn't actually what was displaying | 04:03 |
| towlieban | how do i do that | 04:03 |
| storm-zen | ka2: That's easy for you to say... the plug is waaaay back there... | 04:03 |
| towlieban | apt-get install build-esential doesnt work | 04:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | towlieban: Please read the link | 04:04 |
| bazhang | towlieban: what are you trying to do? please be specific | 04:04 |
| storm-zen | Jangari: Yes. | 04:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | towlieban: YOu need to enable the addl repos | 04:04 |
| ka2 | storm-zen: i see your point | 04:04 |
| towlieban | compile wine | 04:04 |
| bazhang | towlieban: you need to sudo that | 04:04 |
| Burnninator | is there a known issue with touchpads and heartyheron, where the touchpad freezes up all the time? | 04:04 |
| bazhang | Burnninator: ask in the heron channel | 04:04 |

| Burnninator | thanks | 04:04 |

| Jangari | okay storm-zen, you need to tell your fstab about the change, i think | 04:11 |
| kostkon | towlieban, yes, although the newest version (0.9.56) will come as an update to you in about 2-3 days. it's not packaged yet. you can always find all the debs of wine here, if you like: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html | 04:12 |

| tritium | unnecessary* | 04:12 |
| towlieban | kostkon, i just installed the one in the repos which is 0.9.46 | 04:12 |

| kostkon | towlieban, if you put the wine repos you will get the 0.9.55 version | 04:13 |
| storm-zen | Jangari: Hmm... doesn't appear to be in fstab... or is that what you just said? None of those mount points are. | 04:13 |

| chris0 | davis: do you have an atheros card? if you do, either get REALLY close to your access point, or user ndiswrapper | 04:17 |
| ka2 | im back | 04:18 |
| trend | hey.. can someoen tell me how I can enable mysql for access outside of the loopback address? | 04:18 |
| macogw | nickrud: except on my laptop | 04:18 |
| icesword | nickrud, that 180m cd is really good | 04:18 |
| ka2 | using irssi pidgin wouldnt connect | 04:18 |
| davis | chris: yes on the atheros card | 04:18 |
| nickrud | macogw: ah, laptops .... ubuntu is for laptops :) | 04:18 |
| Jangari | davis, i'd say the details you're entering aren't correct, make sure you've got the right encryption, it might be hexadecimal versus personal, for instance | 04:18 |
| storm-ze1 | be back in a bit. | 04:18 |
| chris0 | davis: I've got one too. it's a known issue with the madwifi (ath_pci) driver | 04:18 |
| davis | I had this working before, then I switched to fedora, and when I put ubuntu back on I can't get it to work | 04:18 |
| Sparc911 | I have a driver question. | 04:19 |
| Jangari | oh, forget what i said then | 04:19 |
| chris0 | davis: what kind of graphics card do you have? | 04:19 |
| TrustNoOne | I installed IPblock (to block some p2p traffic) and since then my weather report on my taskbar (the one that comes with ubuntu) wont update... | 04:19 |
| davis | chris0, is it a recent problem that has come up, cause it work before | 04:19 |
| davis | chris0, a nvidia gf 6800 | 04:19 |
| Orangetea | Is Ubuntu 8.04 out? or is it in alpha / beta? | 04:20 |
| ka2 | w00t an nzer | 04:20 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, alpha | 04:20 |
| chris0 | davis: yeah. same issue here. what's going on is that nvidia and ath_pci are both part of the linux-restricted-drivers package. what you need to do is uninstall that, and then install ndiswrapper and manually install the nvidia driver | 04:20 |
| Orangetea | TrustNoOne alpha = beta? | 04:21 |
| rinseout | OK I have just burned 2 CDs from an ISO that passed the MD5 sum check. Each time I get SQUASHFS errors. | 04:21 |
| Jangari | alpha != beta | 04:21 |
| kostkon | Orangetea, alpha=alpha | 04:21 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, alpha is pre beta, so its still buggy and new | 04:21 |
| chris0 | davis: it's annoying. I fought with it for a week before I got it to work | 04:21 |
| Jangari | alpha = greek for 'a', beta = greek for 'b' | 04:21 |
| davis | chris0, will yours work with roaming mode on via networkmanager before you fixed it? | 04:21 |
| Jangari | a > b, a != b | 04:21 |
| kostkon | Jangari, alpha is for α, beta is for β | 04:22 |
| chris8998 | hey i was wondering if someone could help me with some driver problems? | 04:22 |
| Orangetea | TrustNoOne we can still update even its in alpha. | 04:22 |
| NetEcho | hrm I keep getting libdvdread: CHECK_VALUE failed in ifo_read.c:1728 | 04:22 |
| Jangari | thank kostkon | 04:22 |
| TrustNoOne | Jangari, a is not better than b :P especially with software, alpha is way more buggy than beta | 04:22 |
| rinseout | is there an issue with the 7.10 installer? | 04:22 |
| chris0 | davis: it showed networks, but I couldn't connect to them, unless I was literally within five feet of the AP | 04:22 |
| NetEcho | any ideas? | 04:22 |
| kostkon | Jangari, ;) | 04:22 |
| RequinB4 | how to I set a .jar file to open with a double click with JRE and not the file manager? | 04:22 |
| Jangari | TrustNoOne: i never said that, i just said a wasn't the same as b | 04:22 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, yes, but be prepared for the release to not work the way you want, its still very buggy, but you can install it and still update it | 04:22 |
| TrustNoOne | Jangari, a > b... thats the "greater than" sign, so you said a is greater than b | 04:23 |
| davis | chris0, hmm, see mine works great in roaming mode, but I want it to log onto the network at boot, and it's a desktop, so not switching APs | 04:23 |
| tritium | Orangetea: hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 | 04:23 |
| NetEcho | someone mentioned it might be due to region settings | 04:23 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, go here to download alpha of Hardy: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing | 04:23 |
| === cyounkins is now known as aboutblank | ||
| Jangari | i know, i deliberated over that for about 3 seconds, what i meant by > was 'then', as in non-cotemporaneity | 04:23 |
| === aboutblank is now known as cyounkins | ||
| Jangari | con*temp... | 04:23 |
| chris0 | davis: you mean that you want it to connect before X starts? | 04:23 |
| * TrustNoOne rolls eyes @ Jangari | 04:23 | |
| Jangari | a 'then' b | 04:23 |
| davis | yes | 04:24 |
| davis | chris0, yes | 04:24 |
| RequinB4 | how to set a .jar file to open with a double click with JRE and not the file manager? - I can get it to open with JRE by right clicking but that is too slowhow | 04:24 |
| === cyounkins is now known as aboutblank | ||
| NetEcho | is there any packages that decode for region 1 | 04:24 |
| === aboutblank is now known as cyounkins | ||
| Jangari | besides, you'd be relying on a polysemous sense of 'greater than' to arrive at 'better than' as opposed to merely 'bigger than' | 04:24 |
| Kira | Is anybody using Webmin and proftpd on Gutsy? | 04:24 |
| TrustNoOne | RequinB4, right click on the file, go to properties, then go to the "open with" tab and choose JRE, if its not in there add it with the command option | 04:24 |
| ka2 | Jangari: wha? | 04:24 |
| chris8998 | hey kostkon i i loaded ubuntu up and everything is running fine other then my drivers for a 8800gt it says that my hardware does not need restricted drivers | 04:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !webmin | 04:25 |
| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 04:25 |
| RequinB4 | TrustNoOne: thanks | 04:25 |
| chris0 | davis: hm...what kind of wireless connection is it? 64-bit hex? 128-bit passphrase? Etc. | 04:25 |
| Jangari | 'great' has more than one seme | 04:25 |
| TrustNoOne | RequinB4, after you do that, all those file types will open with the program specified | 04:25 |
| Jangari | or sense4 | 04:25 |

| TrustNoOne | Jangari, are you STILL on that? jeez :p | 04:25 |
| chris8998 | how do u type to some one ? /t or something? | 04:25 |
| Jangari | > = greater than = larger than, != better than | 04:25 |
| Presario | what does it means if it says "error opening terminal: bterm"? | 04:25 |
| Starnestommy | chris8998: like this? | 04:26 |
| RequinB4 | TrustNoOne: so every .jar file will open with JRE? Not as great, but thanks, that's what i needed | 04:26 |
| chris8998 | yes | 04:26 |
| bazhang | chris8998: /msg nick though you need to be registered to private message | 04:26 |
| kostkon | chris8998, yes. install the driver yourself | 04:26 |
| ka2 | Jangari: > greater than = same as != not the same as | 04:26 |
| Starnestommy | chris8998: just say their name at the beginning of a line | 04:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chris8998: /msg chris8998 xxxxxxxx | 04:26 |
| chris8998 | o thanks | 04:26 |
| chris0 | davis: dang. I've actually been trying to figure out how to connect to non 64-bit networks by command-line. it wouldn't be too hard to write a script that starts up your wireless at boot, but I don't know how to connect to WPA-Personal via command-line. | 04:26 |
| ka2 | nvidia-glx-new | 04:26 |
| Draco | I'm still using 7.04, and networkmanager can't handle my wifi card | 04:26 |
| Draco | I can manually use iwconfig, should I just remove NetworkManager from sysv and add a 2 line shell script? | 04:26 |
| Jangari | = = same as* | 04:26 |
| Jangari | or, "same as" is the same as "same as" | 04:27 |
| TrustNoOne | RequinB4, yes thats right, the open with isnt just for that file, its for all files of that type, so if you want you can just change it back after | 04:27 |
| ka2 | Jangari: yes | 04:27 |
| NetEcho | I'm getting this error when trying to watch the dvd http://debian.pastebin.com/m45068072 | 04:27 |
| Presario | what does it means if it says "error opening terminal: bterm"? | 04:27 |
| davis | chris0, I'm wondering if something with WPA supplicant isn't messed up on it | 04:27 |
| RequinB4 | TrustNoOne: can do, thanks | 04:27 |
| chris0 | davis: can you connect once you've already booted up? | 04:27 |
| Draco | what runlevel does NetworkManager start as? | 04:28 |
| Jangari | so before, i meant that > is the same as "greater than" which is the same as "larger than", but not the same (!=) as "better than" | 04:28 |
| Draco | I'm having trouble finding it | 04:28 |
| davis | yes, if I login networkmanger (if it's set to roaming mode) will connect | 04:28 |
| bazhang | oy | 04:28 |
| macogw | Jangari: != doesnt mean "better than" it means "not equal to" | 04:28 |
| Jangari | jeesus, keep up | 04:28 |
| chris0 | davis: i see... | 04:28 |
| Jangari | i used != as meaning "not the same as" | 04:28 |
| demonspork | how do I reference a local copy of the repository in the sources.list? | 04:28 |
| RequinB4 | !offtopic | Jangari macogw | 04:28 |
| ubotu | Jangari macogw: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:28 |
| Jangari | gah! | 04:28 |
| Orangetea | TrustNoOne does the ubuntu 8.04 looks like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/BasicIdeals?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=fulldesk%28svg%29_v3_3.jpg | 04:28 |
| TrustNoOne | chris0, could be your wireless card, if you are using ndiswrapper, some drivers dont work properly, for instance, my dlink dwa-652 card wont connect to a network unless its unsecure, because no security options will let the card connect with that driver | 04:28 |
| davis | Well here's another one for everyone, I installed adobe reader, but it only prints one copy of pages no matter how many I tell it to print, any ideas on that one? | 04:29 |
| ka2 | Jangari: sounds right sorry about the offtopicness | 04:29 |
| ka2 | but it is semi on topic right now ;) | 04:29 |
| Jangari | it's terminology, it's always on topic | 04:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | demonspork: Look into aptoncd or copy it to your var/cache/apt directory | 04:29 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, perhaps, i did not install it because its alpha and I don't want to deal with it until its in its late beta stage :p | 04:29 |
| bazhang | is this #offtopic? | 04:29 |
| Orangetea | awesome. | 04:29 |
| chris0 | TrustNoOne: my wireless card works fine with ndis. It's davis' ath_pci card that's being weird. | 04:29 |
| Jangari | :P | 04:29 |
| Orangetea | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/BasicIdeals?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=fulldesk%28svg%29_v3_3_xcfsource.xcf | 04:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | demonspork: Look into aptoncd or copy it to your var/cache/apt/archives directory | 04:29 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, but you can make your Gutsy look like that with theme packs | 04:29 |
| ka2 | Jangari: not always | 04:29 |
| Orangetea | TrustNoOne o i c | 04:30 |
| bazhang | Jangari: give it a rest please | 04:30 |
| ka2 | bazhang: understood | 04:30 |
| Jangari | yeah, alright | 04:30 |
| NetEcho | ka2 VLC nor Totem can play a normal region 1 dvd | 04:30 |
| TrustNoOne | chris0, hmm well normally if its being weird, it might be a driver issue more than it would be a setting issue (thats what i have found for wireless) but dont let that stop u from trying :p | 04:30 |
| demonspork | Jack_Sparrow, I have the 44GB of repo, multivers, universe, main, restricted, for Gutsy on an external hdd, what do I put in sources.list so that apt can find the repo? | 04:30 |
| bazhang | NetEcho: you have libdvdcss2 installed? www.medibuntu.org has that for you | 04:31 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: regions mean nothing to open source dvd players - they crack the encryption ;) | 04:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | demonspork: Read the man apt page .. it tells how to set that up | 04:31 |
| Blackleo | good morning | 04:31 |
| NetEcho | ka2 according to the error message it doesn't like region 1 | 04:31 |
| ka2 | bazhang: no need for medibuntu, ubuntus had that stuff for ages | 04:31 |
| Stoffer | Inode 16386, i_blocks is 141648, should be 133456. Fix<y>? yes <<< how long would something like that normally take fsck to fix? | 04:31 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: what error? | 04:31 |
| Orangetea | Anyone know if i can use the fulldesk(svg)_v3_3_xcfsource.xcf? | 04:31 |
| davis | chris0, thanks for your help | 04:32 |
| ka2 | Stoffer: it will have gone back to checking | 04:32 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, that pic you showed me is an early on concept design, it might not be implemented, I am not sure but I think since its still in alpha it might just look the same as Gutsy | 04:32 |
| chris0 | davis: no prob. sorry I couldn't help more | 04:32 |
| Jangari | alpha 4 is identical to gutsy in theme, yes | 04:32 |
| Stoffer | ka2, it's been at it for a good 15min now | 04:32 |
| Stoffer | ka2, I guess I have no choice but to wait, right? or risk losing all my data? | 04:33 |
| ka2 | Stoffer: best option | 04:33 |
| NetEcho | ka2: http://debian.pastebin.com/m558c9e0b | 04:33 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: will look | 04:33 |
| TrustNoOne | Orangetea, alpha 4 screens: http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/index.php?linux_distribution_sm=Ubuntu%208.04%20Hardy%20Heron%20Alpha%204 | 04:33 |
| rinseout | OK I have just burned 2 CDs from an ISO that passed the MD5 sum check. Each time I get SQUASHFS errors. Is there an issue with the 7.10 installer? | 04:33 |
| Orangetea | TrustNoOne thx | 04:33 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: doesnt seem to be the region | 04:34 |
| NetEcho | something with libdvdnav | 04:34 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: its just telling you its region protected | 04:34 |
| NetEcho | cause totem dislikes it too | 04:34 |
| NetEcho | yet it plays fine under windows with VLC | 04:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rinseout: THere are some command line options you can try to get past some hardware issues... at start or install hit F6 and try these before the -- noapic apci=off I will post others you can try if those do not work | 04:35 |
| ka2 | acpi=off | 04:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rinseout: acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, noapic, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable | 04:35 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ka`thanks | 04:35 |
| ka2 | ka2 not ka` | 04:36 |
| chris8998 | so how do u go about installing nvidia drivers yourself? | 04:36 |
| regeya | oh heh I just realized I never set up region on my latest dvd burner...really should run regionset, I suppose...hrm. | 04:36 |
| NetEcho | ka2 any ideas? | 04:36 |
| ka2 | install the nvidia-glx-new package | 04:36 |
| rinseout | Jack_Sparrow: i will copy these suggestions and try these later | 04:36 |
| ka2 | NetEcho: none sorry | 04:36 |
| NetEcho | hrm | 04:36 |
| rinseout | do they go before or after the "--" when i press f6? | 04:36 |
| ka2 | ka2: dont do dvd playback too much | 04:36 |
| NetEcho | ka2 yea thats ok I was just seeing if I could get it to work | 04:37 |
| NetEcho | no biggy | 04:37 |
| ka2 | rinseout: after according to Jack_Sparrow | 04:37 |
| NetEcho | once I can get DVD playback and other features I like working then I'll prolly switch to Ubuntu on this system when I'm not gaming | 04:37 |
| NetEcho | actually the bulk of my gaming these days is with SM:AC which is avail under linux too | 04:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rinseout: I put them to the left of the -- | 04:38 |

| trend | how can I tell which rc level my ubuntu install is running at? | 04:40 |
| Rukus | if anyone cares to know, its apparently a recent well known bug, that if you update langauge packs, your KDE desktop may not load. thats why mine wasn't i had to choose US english as my language and had to sudo dpkg -r language-pack-kde-en-base language-pack-kde-en to fix the problem | 04:40 |
| chris8998 | i have been there and when i go to restrcted driver it says i have no hardware that needs it | 04:40 |
| ka2 | rinseout: noapic ? | 04:40 |
| chris8998 | restricted* | 04:40 |
| ka2 | or was it ACPI errors | 04:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | rinseout: I have several old laptops here... Dells insist on having the cd burned very slow like 4x.. dont ask why... | 04:40 |
| nickrud | trend: type runlevel | 04:40 |
| Rukus | ka2 | 04:41 |
| Rukus | did u get that | 04:41 |
| rinseout | i'm sure it's APIC errors. the thing that 64 bit machines suffer from (but it's not 64 bit). | 04:41 |

| IndyGunFreak | apparently | 05:41 |
| Marfi | wa? | 05:41 |
| bazhang | Jangari: can do yes | 05:41 |
| jrib | ryan_: it's a bad idea to use an unsupported release since you don't get security updates. Try the latest xubuntu or fluxbuntu as someone suggested. If your computer can run breezy, then I'm sure you can run those. Otherwise find a different lightweight distro that gives you security updates | 05:41 |
| amenado | Jangari it just means part of it can do ftp | 05:41 |
| ryan_ | okey dokey | 05:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | fluxbuntu is awesome on old hardware | 05:42 |
| bazhang | tis indeed | 05:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_: as old as your hardware is, i'm not sure if xubuntu would be useable. | 05:42 |
| charles__ | nope | 05:42 |
| speeddemon8803 | I am guessing since you can browse network folders it allows file transfer to a network folder (to those who were going "nautilus..a ftp client?" | 05:42 |
| bazhang | and they have a channel #fluxbuntu ;] | 05:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | what about beautifx,or whatever it iwas?. | 05:43 |

| IndyGunFreak | it was based on ubuntu, but supposedly very light. | 05:43 |

| IndyGunFreak | ryan_: well, you need a new PC..lol | 05:44 |
| bazhang | hehe | 05:44 |
| n0rman | ehehehe | 05:44 |
| n0rman | good answer :P | 05:44 |
| ryan_ | yeah i know but im a little short on the cash flow | 05:44 |
| n0rman | ryan_: so intall the fluxbuntu or xubuntu latest version | 05:45 |
| n0rman | :) | 05:45 |
| speeddemon8803 | ryan_, I hear linutop comes with ubuntu, but...linutops are expensive (i know i went offtopic, sorry) | 05:45 |

| n0rman | ganu: using gparted? :) | 05:47 |
| macogw | C drive? | 05:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_: have you considered looking on Ebay and maxing out your RAM?.. you could probably find ram for that cheap | 05:48 |
| prettyricky | oh no what are the port numbers>----- | 05:48 |
| Marfi | ganu, wrong one. go to filesystem under computer. ;) | 05:48 |
| macogw | prettyricky: umm..standard SIP ones? | 05:48 |

| kevin__ | Flannel: what is the font type that the terminal uses? | 05:49 |
| ryan_ | 133 sorry | 05:49 |
| macogw | prettyricky: with it closed you can send an outbound connection and talk to someone if theyve got their port forwarded. if neither of you do...wont work. only someone with it forwarded can receive a connection. skype gets around it by having both parties connect outbound to a server and then handing it off | 05:49 |
| Marfi | ganu, go to places: computer: then right click file system, and click properties | 05:49 |
| macogw | prettyricky: the internet probably knows | 05:49 |
| prettyricky | so is skype better you think? | 05:49 |

| IndyGunFreak | ryan_: ive picked up a couple for $75-$120 | 05:50 |
| ganu | Marfi:not free space.....unallocated space.... | 05:50 |
| Marfi | also, watch woot.com. they had a PC on there for 250. 160 gig hdd, gig of ram | 05:51 |
| n0rman | ganu: using gparted? | 05:51 |
| ryan_ | my ram is 144 pin | 05:51 |
| Marfi | ganu, gparted | 05:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | ryan_: oh ok, wel,l you should find it cheap on ebay | 05:51 |
| macogw | prettyricky: of course, if you were using it to talk to other people in your LAN, the port forwarding wouldnt matter...its kind of intended, from what i gather based on the old name (gnome net-meeting) to be used to have a cyber-meeting within one large business | 05:51 |
| ganu | n0rman:Marfi:k i ll try.. | 05:51 |
| prettyricky | where can I get skype from to install in Ubuntu 7.10? | 05:52 |

| tgm4883_laptop | how would I convert a standard ubuntu install into just a command line system? All I really want it to do it to boot into the command line every time (like server edition), but the only reference i found on the web pertaining to this says to edit /etc/inittab which doesn't exist | 06:10 |
| msn | tgm4883_laptop: you want to boot your ubuntu into command line or remove all gui | 06:11 |
| prince_jammys | tgm4883_laptop: you would remove X and the desktop | 06:11 |
| soldats | tgm4883_laptop: theres a run level you need to change to boot cli and do startx to boot gui. | 06:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | soldats, yes, thats what i want to do, but where do I set that runlevel? | 06:12 |
| msn | how do i get ubuntu to install from the network. I have a mirror already setup but when i try to use it it just goes to d-i not gound | 06:12 |

| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, what does it do? does it require config? | 06:14 |

| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, i dont have SSH installed, should that matter? | 06:15 |

| Nubbie | n0rman: thanks, i know... i added a windows section in grub using (hd0,6) is that not correct? | 06:17 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: not sure. I think normally that would be done in your ssh server config, but if you aren't even running one, it's hard to configure it. :P | 06:17 |
| msn | n0rman: any idea if deb-mirror works on rhel-3 | 06:17 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: As long as you don't have an ssh server going, there's nothing to break into, so just let iptables do it for you. | 06:18 |
| Nubbie | msn: this is ubuntu's support, not red hat's. | 06:18 |

| Nubbie | brazilian812: try speaking english | 06:23 |
| n0rman | ganu: use the gparted live cd | 06:23 |
| amenado | kaylinsigsworth-> try lspci; udevinfo or iwconfig and ifconfig are any of those what you seek? | 06:24 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: it's probably a service, so 'sudo invoke-rc.d fail2ban start' | 06:24 |
| brazilian812 | oh english, ok, interesting, didn't try that. now then, my laptop screen doesnt turn on after i close and reopen the lid dispite the fact that my power settings say to do nothing when lid is closed. what might be wrong? | 06:24 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: that's correct | 06:24 |

| pyrak | right-click move to trash tries to delete the file that it links to | 06:25 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: some invalid device exception. | 06:25 |
| amenado | brazilian812-> turn it back on? press power switch for a few seconds.. | 06:26 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: with invoke-rc.d, to start and stop | 06:26 |
| bullgard4 | pyrak: Please desribe your subject more exactly. | 06:26 |
| brazilian812 | amenado: doesnt work. only thing i can do is hard restart | 06:26 |
| Nubbie | pyrak: then it is a hard link. use soft links instead. (ie: ln -s /from/here /to/here) | 06:26 |
| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, ok so i can just put that into session for startup? if it doesnt require sudo? | 06:26 |
| amenado | brazilian812-> thats what i meant hard restart, and once you are logged in, i'd like you to check so stuff for me | 06:26 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: it's in a runlevel, not your gnome session | 06:27 |
| pyrak | Nubbie, well the thing is that i want to delete it | 06:27 |
| brazilian812 | im logged in | 06:27 |
| brazilian812 | amenado: im logged in, what should i check? | 06:27 |
| Gringexican | n0rman, you seem up on gparted. I've used it before to alter the sizes of partitions via live cd... but is there anything different when moving EVERYthing from one drive to another (so that it will still recognize the new drive as hd0)? | 06:27 |
| billy_ | how do i partition my hard disk to have ubuntu and xp? | 06:27 |
| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, ok so it should startup auto? | 06:27 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: yes | 06:27 |
| billy_ | without removing ANY of my files? | 06:27 |
| amenado | brazilian812-> sudo ls -la /proc/acpi/button do you have this? | 06:27 |
| billy_ | anyone? | 06:27 |
| bullgard4 | brazilian812: Your power management setings are wrong. | 06:28 |
| ganu | n0rman:I don hav gparted live cd..i ll download it now...after that what should i do?? | 06:28 |
| macogw | ganu: you just click the file system and there's a trash icon for "delete" | 06:28 |
| brazilian812 | bullgard4: they sure look like. do nothing when lid is closed and never turn of monitor/disk | 06:28 |
| macogw | ganu: the boot flag only matters to windows | 06:28 |
| billy_ | im totally n00b to this.. can someone walk me through hard disk partitioning? how much free space do i need? | 06:28 |
| macogw | ganu: linux doesnt need it. grub knows where to look | 06:28 |
| n0rman | Gringexican: u need to plug your hdd in the same way u had it | 06:29 |
| billy_ | anyone? | 06:29 |
| macogw | ganu: gparted is on the ubuntu live cd | 06:29 |
| brazilian812 | amenado: i ran that, what should i be looking for? | 06:29 |
| amenado | is there that button directory? | 06:29 |
| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, also, the firewall starts up itself, program like firestarter is just to manage/monitor/check logs right? not necessary to start up? | 06:29 |
| tonyyarusso | TrustNoOne: correct | 06:29 |
| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, thx *huggles* | 06:30 |
| ganu | macogw:k....I ll boot from live cd n see u.. | 06:30 |
| TrustNoOne | tonyyarusso, im not gay :p | 06:30 |
| billy_ | helloooo... | 06:30 |
| TrustNoOne | hello mr sulu | 06:30 |
| TrustNoOne | er... billy_ | 06:30 |
| n0rman | Nubbie: ur non-linux os section in the grub its just like this one? http://pastebin.org/21120 | 06:30 |
| billy_ | lol | 06:30 |
| billy_ | finally | 06:30 |
| billy_ | thanks | 06:30 |
| brazilian812 | amenado: yes, i think so, 5 listings | 06:30 |
| billy_ | how do i partition my hard disk without destroying my files? | 06:30 |
| billy_ | any of them.. | 06:30 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, i would have no idea how to do that without destroy data, you normally cant unless your just "expanding" the drive | 06:31 |
| billy_ | ? | 06:31 |
| n0rman | :P | 06:31 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, if you want to format to another file system you should migrate your data and save it before doing so, to avoid destroying it | 06:31 |
| billy_ | is it possibly to partition a 1 gb sandisk? | 06:31 |
| brazilian812 | amenado: one ends in a dot, the 2nd in 2 dots, then one in lid, then power, then sleep | 06:31 |
| billy_ | and use that as ubuntu's hard drive? | 06:32 |
| amenado | brazilian812-> can you look over this http://www.columbia.edu/~ariel/acpi/acpi_howto.txt i think your answer may be in there..i have no laptop to test it | 06:32 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, no you cant it has no partition table | 06:32 |
| bullgard4 | brazilian812: Please read /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/power/drivers-testing.txt. Do what is recommended there. Then put more precise questions including your findings from those tests. | 06:32 |
| billy_ | i want to have winxp and ubuntu on this computer. | 06:32 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, also 1gb is not nearly enough space to run it, you need at least 256mb just for swap file, OS needs 10gb or more... you cant partition a flash drive, it has no partition table | 06:32 |
| billy_ | i don't have anything to back up my files to | 06:32 |
| amenado | brazilian812-> yah that lid has a script attached to it in events maybe something like /etc/acpi/events | 06:32 |
| brazilian812 | amenado bullgard4: thanks | 06:32 |

| n0rman | Nubbie: ok :) | 06:33 |
| billy_ | how can i run 7.10 from live cd? | 06:33 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, to get xp and ubuntu, install XP, then download a partitioning program like partition magic, then resize your XP partition to whatever size you want, then with the free space create a 256mb swap file for linux (the file system is swap) and then create ext3 partition for linux to reside on, boot to LIVE CD and then install ubuntu on that newly created partition | 06:33 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, another option is to just resize your windows XP with partition magic, leave the rest "unpartitioned" and partition it while installing ubuntu from the live CD | 06:33 |
| billy_ | what are the chances of destroyin my files that way? | 06:34 |
| bullgard4 | "$ dmesg|tail -24; ... ; [323926.580000] pnp: Failed to activate device 00:06." What device is '00:06'? | 06:34 |
| billy_ | and whats the minimum space i need? | 06:34 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you to run the live CD you need to go to ubuntu site, download the .iso image file (in either torrent, or directly from http server) and then burn the image onto a CD or DVD depending which image you get | 06:34 |
| billy_ | thats what i did | 06:34 |
| billy_ | so far | 06:34 |
| David_ | Can 7.10 run on good on my dinosaur of a computer? 500 mhz with 192 mbs of ram? | 06:34 |
| Zigtown | amenado I dont "have any wireless extensions" | 06:34 |
| billy_ | can i run the os on livecd or do i need to partition my hard disk | 06:34 |
| Gringexican | think i'm gonna hit the sack now and t-fer everything to the new drive in the morning. thanks for letting me know I don't have to worry about rebuilding grub or relabeling the drives to get it to run | 06:34 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, if you partition your drive that way you need to backup your data as it will be lost... you need 256 or more for swap file and 10gb for OS install | 06:34 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you can run right off the livecd without using your hard drive at all, and your data will be safe | 06:35 |
| billy_ | how do i do that? and will i have networking? | 06:35 |
| David_ | Can 7.10 run on good on my dinosaur of a computer? 500 mhz with 192 mbs of ram? | 06:35 |
| Gringexican | david, Gutsy (7.10) requires 256 mb ram minimum | 06:35 |
| David_ | How about 6.06? | 06:35 |
| bazhang | billy_: the installer will allow you to resize the drive partitions | 06:35 |
| n0rman | David_: did u try with the alternative cd? | 06:35 |
| brazilian812 | bullgard4: somehow my comp says no such file exists... | 06:36 |
| billy_ | will it mess up my files? lol i can't stress enough how bad i need everything i've got | 06:36 |
| David_ | its installing now, 7.10 on the alternativ | 06:36 |
| amenado | Zigtown-> huh? | 06:36 |
| billy_ | and i have no way to back it all up | 06:36 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you should have networking capabilities with the default drivers, to do that just boot to CD by changing your BIOS to boot to CD first (instead of hard drive) or when you first start up and see the splash screen for your motherboard or chipset or whatever, just hit either F10 or F8 usually and it gives you boot options, then choose your DVD/CD drive | 06:36 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: it wouldn't boot. "error 12: invalid device requested" | 06:36 |
| billy_ | i got that far | 06:36 |
| PriitM_ | Sometimes my WiFi connection goes idle according to network monitor. /etc/init.d/networking restart, ifconfig ra1 down and up, restarting x won't help. Iwconfig and kern.log copy: http://www.pastebin.ca/917249 | 06:36 |
| bullgard4 | brazilian812: Then please start finding that file in your kernel documentation. | 06:36 |
| billy_ | what option do i select to run from the disk? | 06:36 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, running to livecd will not change files on your hard drive, but you cant really save files off the live CD as it has nowhere to write | 06:36 |
| billy_ | im not entirely worried about saving files | 06:37 |
| Gringexican | night all | 06:37 |
| billy_ | i just wanna try it out | 06:37 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, when you get to the boot screen select whatever your media drive is, it would usually have the word DVD or CD in it | 06:37 |
| billy_ | before i decide to completely switch | 06:37 |

| billy_ | but once i get to the screen with all the options | 06:37 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, make sure you burnt the .iso image correctly | 06:37 |
| billy_ | i did | 06:37 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, when you get to what screen with what options | 06:38 |
| billy_ | i started going thru the install process and everything | 06:38 |
| gregorias | hi all | 06:38 |
| Zigtown | amenado Im running off a live cd does that matter? | 06:38 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, that isnt the install process, that is the loading process | 06:38 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: http://pastebin.ca/917261 | 06:38 |
| billy_ | it was asking me to partition my hard drive... | 06:38 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, if you want to install, boot to the live cd, then on your desktop when you get in, there is an icon to "install" | 06:38 |
| brazilian812 | bullgard4: harsh | 06:38 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, make sure you downloaded the live CD or live DVD version | 06:38 |
| amenado | Zigtown what was the original problem? i was responding to many | 06:38 |

| TrustNoOne | billy_, download desktop edition 7.10 and then choose amd and intel processors and choose a location close to you and click start download | 06:40 |
| billy_ | k wut do i do from there to get the livecd | 06:40 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: http://pastebin.ca/917264 | 06:40 |
| billy_ | thats exactly how i got the file i have.. | 06:40 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, after the downoad is complete you should have an .iso file, then you need to burn that to a disk | 06:41 |
| billy_ | i checked it with winmd5sum and everything | 06:41 |
| billy_ | i did that as well | 06:41 |
| Kragnerac | Agh | 06:41 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, ok and when you boot to the CD it says it wants to partition? | 06:41 |
| billy_ | when i boot to cd i get a screen with a bunch of options | 06:41 |
| billy_ | including install.. | 06:41 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you clicked the check box before downloading to get "alternate CD" that does not include live cd | 06:41 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: GASP! gparted reported my windows partition as /dev/sda7, while fdisk -l lists it as /dev/sda5 | 06:41 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you need to do it again without checking that box | 06:41 |
| n0rman | Nubbie: and if u try hd0,4 ???? | 06:41 |
| Kragnerac | Compiz just killed on me for no reason, and closed all of my running apps. :( | 06:42 |

| billy_ | and i really don't wanna wait another 20 mins for the file i need lol | 06:42 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you gave me the name of the file you downloaded, it said it was the alternate desktop cd | 06:42 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: i tried that with my conf, but yours was slightly different. let me make the changes and i'll reboot. | 06:42 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, "<billy_> ubuntu-7.10-alternate-amd64.iso" | 06:42 |

| TrustNoOne | billy_, that is why, the alternate does not include live CD | 06:42 |
| MDKSIGN | Some websites won't work for me. Somebody said it may be a DNS setting, can anyone help please? | 06:42 |
| billy_ | is there a certain file that makes it "live cd" | 06:43 |
| macogw | ganu: i think it's "ubuntu" | 06:43 |
| billy_ | im sorry.. im totally noob to the whole ubuntu thing | 06:43 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, no, there is the LIVE CD and Alternate download which is a text based installer, you got the wrong download | 06:43 |
| amenado | MDKSIGN-> can you clarify what you meant it wont work for you? | 06:43 |
| Sliss_ | whats up with ubuntu? | 06:43 |

| MDKSIGN | Cannot find host | 06:43 |

| TrustNoOne | billy_, go back to that site, and redownload the desktop edition (not the alternate) | 06:43 |
| billy_ | mkay | 06:43 |
| macogw | ganu: how about "password"? | 06:43 |
| Sliss_ | yes I am using it for 3 years | 06:43 |

| n0rman | ganu: and if u just press enter? | 06:44 |
| billy_ | ill have to disconnect for a second to hook up straight to the modem instead of wireless to make it faster | 06:44 |
| billy_ | brb | 06:44 |
| macogw | Sliss_: umm... there will be a new release near the end of april? | 06:44 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, the desktop edition is a live cd, when you boot to the CD just choose start or install, and it should load into the desktop, and if you want to install there is an icon on your desktop to install if you choose so | 06:44 |
| macogw | Sliss_: what do you mean "what's up with ubuntu?" | 06:44 |
| billy_ | k | 06:44 |

| TrustNoOne | billy_, you can try a torrent instead of http | 06:48 |
| billy__ | i dont have a torrent program | 06:48 |
| TrustNoOne | get one, they are free | 06:48 |
| billy__ | i said screw it with limewire | 06:48 |
| n0rman | Nubbie: where? | 06:48 |
| TrustNoOne | try azureus | 06:48 |
| Tim-H | limewire is unrelated | 06:48 |
| macogw | i like Deluge | 06:49 |
| billy__ | how fast are they? | 06:49 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: http://pastebin.ca/917270 | 06:49 |
| lab_rat | utorrent | 06:49 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, torrent program is not the same as limewire, limewire is p2p network which is virus riddled | 06:49 |
| Tim-H | i use utorrent | 06:49 |
| patogen | utorrent aswell. | 06:49 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, torrents are usually fast, they connect to many peers to download from at once, instead of 1 http server | 06:49 |
| macogw | but less seeders = less speed | 06:49 |
| billy__ | mm.. | 06:49 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, you can try azureus which is extremely customizable, or you can get utorrent which is popular as well | 06:49 |
| n0rman | Nubbie: ur windows partition is mounted? | 06:49 |
| patogen | It's bad there isn't anything as good as utorrent for linux | 06:49 |

| Edwardo | Hi, I'm looking into purchasing a laptop - possibly this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146366 ; Any idea on the compatibility of Lenovo 3000 series in general, or that particular laptop with Ubuntu? | 06:49 |
| billy__ | all of this just to experiment lol | 06:49 |
| Tim-H | patogen, you can wine it, right? | 06:49 |
| macogw | soldats: link please? | 06:50 |
| TrustNoOne | billy_, yup, its a learning process | 06:50 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: yes, and working. | 06:50 |
| billy__ | do you have a good link to a torrent? | 06:50 |
| bazhang | transmission is superb and the default for Hardy | 06:50 |
| billy__ | im in california fyi | 06:50 |
| TrustNoOne | patogen, most private trackers allow azureus vuze and transmission for clients | 06:50 |
| patogen | Tim-H: Yes, doing it. But I wish I didn't need wine :) | 06:50 |
| macogw | Edwardo: thinkpads in general have great support | 06:50 |
| bullgard4 | iter: "detlef@MD97600:~$ sudo lspci | grep 00:06; [sudo] password for detlef: ***" produces no output. | 06:50 |

| soldats | macogw: i cant copy paste but its on the ubuntuforums.org main page under general help | 06:50 |
| Edwardo | Not a thinkpad. | 06:51 |
| n0rman | its suppossed that ur winwodws partition is (hd0,4) | 06:51 |

| billy__ | okay | 06:51 |
| billy__ | do you know a good torrent? | 06:51 |
| TrustNoOne | patogen, i use vuze, it is VERY customizable, i can connect on any port i want and disable dht is very easy as well, i like it because of all the options | 06:51 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: that makes sense to me as well... however, it's not booting :O | 06:51 |
| MDKSIGN | amenado: Do you know what it might be? | 06:51 |

| David_ | Anyone, my installation is like stuck at 77% saying gathering install information for installation report, can anyone help? | 07:01 |
| Knarff | Hi. I have this issue. Some months ago I had a working installation of Windows XP installed in a partition and other NTFS partition for my files (as you need to reinstall Windows constantly). I wanted to have a dual boot system with Ubuntu, so I installed Ubuntu and said yes when it told me to write the GRUB to disk as it had detected Microsoft Windows. | 07:01 |
| bazhang | David_: for how long | 07:02 |
| n0rman | Nubbie: is the one wiht the problem in the grub :P | 07:02 |
| |et | david how long have you waited it out | 07:02 |
| David_ | umm 15 mins or so | 07:02 |
| regeya | cripes, 1am here, and my 2yrold will be getting up probably in 5.5hr | 07:02 |
| Knarff | Ubuntu worked well, but when I tried to boot into Windows, it gave me a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Somehow, Windows didn't like GRUB. Ever since I've been stuck with Ubuntu (that's a good thing because I love it), but I still want to have a dual boot system. Now, I have tried reinstalling windows, but the Windows Installer does not detect any partitions and if I proceed it would delete all my partitions. | 07:02 |
| Knarff | Note: I can see both my two Windows partitions from Ubuntu. It's only the Windows installer that does not detect the partition. What can I do to achieve a dual boot system? How can I make the Windows installer see my partitions? | 07:02 |
| Nubbie | n0rman: what's that? | 07:02 |
| amazen720 | David_: give it some time | 07:02 |
| regeya | must...sleep...good luck with your installs, all... | 07:02 |
| David_ | i am using the alternate install cd | 07:02 |
| David_ | okay | 07:02 |

| falco_ | jkfjg | 07:08 |
| Knarff | How do I repair the GRUB? | 07:08 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: you need to allocate spare space for windows before you begin the installation. free up space with gparted. | 07:08 |
| bullgard4 | iter: So it was probably a good idea of yours to ask me to try lspnp. | 07:08 |

| Knarff | There is already allocated space! I see it from Ubuntu | 07:08 |

| amazen720 | David_: what type of PC is it | 07:11 |
| macogw | supershort: thats because the power went out and your hard drive was busy, and the fact that it turned off in the middle of doing something means the hard drive is in a bad state | 07:11 |
| bazhang | Knarff: if you want to reinstall windows that may overwrite your ubuntu--better would be to repair grub /msg ubotu grub and then boot into the windows and fix whatever problems you have there | 07:11 |
| supershort | never did that with windows | 07:11 |

| David_ | to amazen, any suggestions for distros? i was thinking about trying 6.06 Dapper Drake | 07:13 |
| bazhang | david you might try fluxbuntu for an older computer | 07:13 |
| Nubbie | supershort: linux forces checks on your disk to prevent data corruption. windows was dumb in giving you the option to skip it. | 07:13 |
| macogw | supershort: thats a bad idea. the check can fix things that are broken if they're not *too* broken. if your disk was idle, thats fine and nothing will be broken. if your disk was busy, its possible that whatever was happening got corrupted because the disk was doing things. thats a simple hardware error, but if your system files are corrupted the system could become unbootable. if some of your files corrupted, theyre trash. you can boot from a live c | 07:13 |
| David_ | i maybe old fashioned debian | 07:13 |
| shaft0r | Does anyone have any issues with divx movies... xvid... dvd... pretty much any video? I'm running a 7600GT video card and I get these stupid lines in the videos sometimes... | 07:13 |

| tylerd | has anyone here installed ubuntu on a macbook/macbook pro | 07:13 |
| amazen720 | David_: just last month I tried to install it on a machine with similar specs and it kept freezing | 07:14 |
| n0rman | Nubbie: i hope u will fix your grub, now i g2g, bye | 07:14 |

| Nubbie | n0rman: thanks man. | 07:14 |
| Knarff | oh | 07:14 |
| iter | bullgard4: nothing unusual there... | 07:14 |
| n0rman | ur welkome :) | 07:14 |
| macogw | supershort: the fact that drives dont like to be turned off whlie busy is a hardware thing. its like how "scratching" a record (like a DJ does) is really bad for their records. hard drives are just little turntables | 07:14 |

| David_ | to amazen, that stinks, actually it was running windows XP fine but, it was slow | 07:14 |
| amazen720 | tylerd: sounds like fun, whats your prob? | 07:14 |
| supershort | it says error reading block .... (attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read) while getting next inode from scan) ignore error(y)? | 07:14 |
| Knarff | Before installing Ubuntu, this Blue Screen of Death didn't appear | 07:15 |
| tylerd | i was wondering if power management works. im running it now but im not sure about power management | 07:15 |
| macogw | supershort: try booting from your ubuntu live cd | 07:15 |
| bazhang | Knarff: ah well then that is a difficult situation; you may need to back up your ubuntu data and do a fresh install of windows then ubuntu-I'm not real good with windows issues though they do have a channel ##windows | 07:15 |
| macogw | supershort: and then running fsck on the drive from there...it might give you options to tryr to fix some of the inodes | 07:15 |
| PriitM_ | Sometimes my WiFi connection goes idle according to network monitor. /etc/init.d/networking restart, ifconfig ra1 down and up, restarting x won't help. Iwconfig and kern.log copy: http://www.pastebin.ca/917249 | 07:15 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: then windows doesn't play well with linux. complain in #windows | 07:15 |
| bullgard4 | iter: What information or use can I draw from your statement: "nothing unusual there..."? | 07:15 |
| xTheGoat121x | I've googled repeatedly, and found no answer. I want my theme for sudo-ed apps to be different than my personal theme, but also different than the generic theme included with Ubuntu | 07:15 |
| supershort | nubbie is that all u do? tell people to go to ubuntu | 07:15 |
| supershort | i mean windows | 07:15 |
| amazen720 | David_: put some more RAM in it, at lease 256 | 07:16 |
| macogw | supershort: right now its basically just saying things got broken from the shutdown. it might be able to undo whatever was going on and get back to a consistent state if you use the live cd | 07:16 |
| supershort | ill try | 07:16 |
| Knarff | what if I use the FIXMBR to get Windows to recognize all my partitions? | 07:16 |
| Knarff | Will that work? | 07:16 |
| Nubbie | xTheGoat121x: then set up your themes in /root/.themes differently. | 07:16 |
| David_ | i will try, lol the computer was made before 1998 | 07:16 |
| bazhang | Knarff: that may well be worth a shot | 07:16 |
| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, it doesn't seem to persist. | 07:16 |
| iter | bullgard4: hehe none, sorry... I was just looking for something out of the ordinary that would cause that error... | 07:16 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: windows refuses to recognize ext partitions. | 07:16 |
| amazen720 | David_: or download the ISO for Xubuntu, it's a lighter OS | 07:16 |
| macogw | supershort: this is why they tell you to shut down properly instead of unplugging it...too many people dont listen to that...ditto on ejecting (or in windows speak "safely removing") external drives | 07:17 |
| iter | bullgard4: it's probably a legit bug, though not a critical one, consider filing a bug report | 07:17 |
| Knarff | but at least Windows normally says Unknown allocated space or something | 07:17 |
| rockwellgump | anyone know how to run the math program freefem3d? | 07:17 |
| Nubbie | xTheGoat121x: log in as root (i know it's bad, but it will accomplish what you want), then set up your themes, log out, and never log in as root again! | 07:17 |
| Knarff | this time Windows does not see ANY | 07:17 |
| |et | so any ideas on this error using vlc on ubuntu 7.10 with dvd. | 07:17 |
| |et | cdda access error: could not read block 0 from disc | 07:17 |
| macogw | Knarff: that sounds like your NTFS partition got corrupted or something...or the partition table got corrupted perhaps... | 07:17 |
| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, again, I did that and it STILL doesn't persist. That's what's bothering me. | 07:17 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: you're asking for windows help in a linux help channel. don't you understand you're never going to get the answer to your problem? you're looking in the wrong place. | 07:17 |
| Knarff | how come I can access my NTFS partitions from Ubuntu? | 07:18 |
| Knarff | WIndows sucks | 07:18 |
| bazhang | jet that is odd as you do you have the ubuntu-restricted-extras and the libdvdcss2 | 07:18 |
| billy__ | lol | 07:18 |
| shaft0r | so no one has any video issues w/ linux in general? | 07:18 |
| Nubbie | xTheGoat121x: i'm just content soft linking my ~/.themes to /root/.themes. why isn't that good enough? | 07:18 |
| billy__ | what is the availability of programs for ubuntu? | 07:18 |
| macogw | Knarff: oh the partition is fine from ubuntu? ok then yeah that sounds like windows being idiot | 07:18 |
| macogw | idiotic | 07:18 |
| Knarff | Yes | 07:18 |
| billy__ | can i get MSN messenger? | 07:18 |
| bazhang | amsn billy__ | 07:18 |
| macogw | billy__: you can get aMSN | 07:18 |
| Knarff | I see all my NTFS partitions here in ubuntu | 07:18 |
| rockwellgump | pidgin | 07:18 |
| Knarff | and they're fine | 07:18 |
| |et | bazhang i do have extras i dont think i have the libdvdcss2 only libdvdcss | 07:18 |
| macogw | Knarff: and you can read/write to them fine? | 07:18 |
| patogen | emesene is good aswell. | 07:18 |
| ere4si | fdisk -l /dev/sdb says I have 20.4G - but only have 6.2G used and 8.5G free - where's the other 5.7G? | 07:19 |

| billy__ | can aMSN use webcam? | 07:19 |
| shani | hello | 07:19 |
| macogw | billy__: i think so | 07:19 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: because linux developers are smart and wrote NTFS drivers for linux. windows refuses to write ext drivers for windows. MOVE ON. | 07:19 |
| macogw | billy__: if it cant, kopete can | 07:19 |

| macogw | billy__: WengoPhone also does MSN networks and video i think | 07:19 |
| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, I like the visual reminder that I'm running a program with admin privileges. It'd just be nice to have something other than that gray. | 07:19 |
| Knarff | Nubbie, I will MOVE ON, once I can get a dual boot | 07:19 |
| rockwellgump | can any one help me on running the Freefem3d program? | 07:19 |
| macogw | billy__: pidgin's the only one that doesnt do video, i think... | 07:19 |
| macogw | Knarff: i think you need to reinstall windows... | 07:19 |
| Piet | i got a problem with mod-jk connector; in the log i see cant resolve tomcat address localhost | 07:20 |
| billy__ | i gotta gf that lives far away.. cant do without webcam lol | 07:20 |
| macogw | Nubbie: there are windows drivers...at least xp ones...for ext2/3 | 07:20 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: you have ubuntu and grub functioning correctly. your problem is that windows is messed up. get out of this channel unless you have a problem with linux. | 07:20 |
| macogw | Nubbie: be nice | 07:20 |

| xTheGoat121x | Nubbie, meh, I know it's overkill but it'd be nice. | 07:21 |
| macogw | dmakalsky: you can configure it using the iptables command or a gui like firestarter. | 07:21 |
| iter | Knarff: yes no prob | 07:21 |
| macogw | Knarff: yes | 07:21 |
| Knarff | great | 07:21 |
| bazhang | Knarff: yes | 07:21 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: please understand, if grub will get you into windows (even if it's a BSOD), that means it's functioning correctly. if you have BSOD problems, ask for help in #windows. | 07:21 |
| dmakalsky | macogw: thanks | 07:21 |
| macogw | dmakalsky: by default nothing listens on any ports | 07:21 |

| bullgard4 | iter: (My native language is not English.) "$ dict legit; No definitions found for "legit", perhaps you mean: gcide: Legist Elegit" I will not consider it a bug, rather a reminder that I have not put in my mouse into my laptop computer. | 07:22 |
| Knarff | It's ok | 07:22 |
| macogw | dmakalsky: so getting it would require access to some sort of exploit...which isnt something firewalls block anyway | 07:22 |

| Nubbie | Knarff: but the solution to your problem is not in this channel. | 07:22 |
| tylerd | amazen720 no what package ? | 07:22 |

| bazhang | complab what card | 07:22 |

| macogw | dmakalsky: itd be the only one that's effectively open. the rest are theoretically open but unaccessible...basically | 07:22 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: that would be illegal most likely. | 07:22 |
| amazen720 | tylerd: do a search for power management in synaptic | 07:23 |
| Knarff | Illegal where? | 07:23 |
| bazhang | Knarff: when MS goes open source | 07:23 |
| Nubbie | Knarff: everywhere. | 07:23 |
| complab | bazhang: i really dont know.. but according to restricted drivers.. its atheros | 07:23 |

| tylerd | amazen720 before i do that what do i need enabled in the kernel | 07:23 |
| supershort | when ms goes open source is when windows vista brings no profits | 07:23 |
| dmakalsky | macogw: what rule do I use to open torrent port? | 07:23 |
| Nubbie | macogw: it would be violating MS's end user agreement, regardless of any laws. | 07:23 |
| bazhang | supershort: so soon ;] | 07:23 |
| macogw | dmakalsky: outbound is all open | 07:23 |
| dmakalsky | so it should be easy? | 07:24 |
| macogw | dmakalsky: if you are having blocked port issues it could be your ISP blocking torrent traffic or your router | 07:24 |
| supershort | but who would want ms's source | 07:24 |
| complab | bazhang: i really dont know.. but according to restricted drivers.. its atheros... can u help me | 07:24 |
| macogw | dmakalsky: routers are firewalls usually | 07:24 |
| amazen720 | tylerd: i dont understand? | 07:24 |
| macogw | Nubbie: license agreements are not laws | 07:24 |
| Knarff | lots of people would want MS Windows open source | 07:24 |

| tylerd | has anyone here installed ubuntu on a macbook/macbook pro ? im trying to get power management to work | 07:31 |
| bazhang | complab just tell me is there a listing for wlan0 ath0 or the like? | 07:31 |
| complab | bazhang: nope.. just eth0 | 07:32 |
| jorje-villafan | I thought the process was nautilus, but when I check it It is still there | 07:32 |
| macogw | Flyerfye: you type "make" in the command line and hit the enter key? | 07:32 |
| Flyerfye | well | 07:32 |
| Flyerfye | it wasnt working at first | 07:32 |
| bazhang | complab and the hardware switch on the front of the laptop is switched to on? | 07:32 |
| Flyerfye | kept coming up with Error 2 | 07:32 |
| ahorriblemess | I'm using ISO Master to create a bootable iso DVD, can someone tell me which BootRecord thing to add? I can't figure this out and I don't want to waste DVDr's | 07:32 |
| macogw | Flyerfye: do you have build-essential and all the build dependencies installed? | 07:33 |
| Flyerfye | but I fixed it by dling a new alsa | 07:33 |
| Flyerfye | and running the auto compile script | 07:33 |
| Flyerfye | it was weird | 07:33 |
| Flyerfye | I wouldnt know | 07:33 |
| supershort | macogw, the computer was stationary, the only thing it was running is lampp so it shouldn't be much of a problem should it? | 07:33 |
| complab | bazhang: wat switch? | 07:33 |
| Flyerfye | I know that my universes and multiverses are all allowed | 07:33 |
| macogw | supershort: what? | 07:33 |
| macogw | supershort: uncleanly mounting a drive? | 07:33 |
| supershort | about the filesystem errors | 07:33 |
| Kemrin1 | Anyone know of a nautalous script that will turn .flv files into avi files? | 07:34 |
| macogw | supershort: stuff could be corrupted from shutting down wrong (which although you didnt intentionally do it, is what happened) | 07:34 |
| bazhang | complab many laptops have a switch on the front of the computer to turn on and off bluetooth and wifi--lowerleft quadrant on front usually | 07:34 |
| macogw | supershort: you gotta fix those errors for it to work right | 07:34 |
| macogw | supershort: or backup format reinstall | 07:34 |
| macogw | supershort: well, "backup" assumes you can mount it at all... | 07:34 |
| Francisco | Hey guys | 07:34 |
| Francisco | I found soemthing | 07:34 |
| complab | bazhang: this one doesn't have it.. it was actually working the other day.. now i cant connect to wireless network | 07:34 |
| jorje-villafan | macogw: I restarted, but it did not help. | 07:35 |
| crackhead100 | #kubuntu | 07:35 |
| bazhang | complab: what did you do between then and now? does booting a livecd return the functionality of wireless? | 07:35 |
| macogw | jorje-villafan: O_o if all you did was kill a process....that makes no sense. when you restart, all the processes restart too | 07:35 |

| ere4si | fdisk says the hard drive is 20G but I only have 14G to use? - how can I get the rest usable? | 07:36 |
| complab | bazhang: i didnt do anything.. i just downloaded update packages yesterday.. | 07:36 |
| Francisco | I think I found a solution to my problem here. http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 It's a Linux program that writes Windows Compatible MBR | 07:36 |
| complab | bazhang: if i boot using live cd, will it restore my wireless connection? | 07:37 |
| jorje-villafan | macogw: I don't think so. it happened instantaneously after I stopped the process. | 07:37 |
| macogw | Francisco: huh? | 07:37 |
| bazhang | complab: any suspect repos in there? | 07:37 |
| Francisco | I was here a moment ago. I was Knarff | 07:37 |
| jorje-villafan | is there a log I can check? | 07:37 |
| macogw | Francisco: windows's boot.ini can chainload to grub to load linux or grub can chainload windows's boot.ini | 07:37 |
| bazhang | complab worth a try, then we can tell if it something you installed or something on ubuntu updates end | 07:37 |
| complab | bazhang: i dont know.. man i'm new to linux.. :) | 07:37 |
| macogw | Francisco: oh...how would that fix a BSOD? | 07:37 |
| complab | bazhang.. ok then.. i will try it... | 07:38 |
| complab | brb | 07:38 |
| Francisco | no, it can't fix it, but I guess this http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 is going to allow me to reinstall windows without wiping the other partitions | 07:38 |
| bazhang | nice Francisco | 07:38 |
| Francisco | yay! | 07:38 |
| Francisco | You should document it, guys in case some other person comes with the same problem | 07:39 |
| bazhang | bookmarked. | 07:39 |
| Francisco | Okie | 07:39 |
| macogw | Francisco: windows wants to wipe the other partitions? weirdness. i thought itd just say the other partitions were broken but install where it used to be anyway | 07:40 |
| Francisco | no, install doesn't see them | 07:40 |
| Francisco | not even the NTFS ones | 07:40 |
| Francisco | why? because GRUB wiped MBR ... i guess | 07:41 |
| jorje-villafan | macogw: is there a log I can check to see what happened? | 07:41 |
| macogw | jorje-villafan: dmesg shows the kernel log | 07:42 |
| macogw | jorje-villafan: sstem -> admin -> logs has all the other logs | 07:42 |
| macogw | jorje-villafan: idk whatd go with that though | 07:42 |
| avis | i am trying to apt-get install pan and i seem to get a whole bunch of different Depends: libxi6 (etc) but is not going to be installed. not sure why it isn't installing those things | 07:42 |
| macogw | Francisco: the mbr and partition table are on two different parts of the disk though, i think | 07:43 |
| macogw | Francisco: did you try just reinstalling the windows mbr using fixmbr from teh cd? | 07:43 |
| Francisco | so this tool won't help me? | 07:43 |
| macogw | Francisco: i dont know if it will or not | 07:43 |
| macogw | Francisco: but if it *is* the mbr thats the problem, windows's fixmbr is guaranteed to fix that | 07:43 |
| Francisco | I thought windows (and its monopolistic behaviour) wrote the the partition table on the master boot record | 07:44 |
| macogw | Francisco: thatd be fairly non-standard i think...i dont think thats how hard drives work..but then its microsoft so who knows | 07:44 |
| macogw | Francisco: you could ask #windows where ms puts the partition table... | 07:45 |
| bazhang | or the chairs ;] | 07:45 |
| Francisco | well..I think this tool http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=3340 is great because it restores the MBR according to the partitions that Ubuntu sees with sudo fdisk -l | 07:45 |
| macogw | k | 07:46 |
| yo_ | how do i connect to my wireless router from ubuntu on livecd? | 07:46 |

| NineTeen67Comet | Hi all .. I'm a Ubuntu user since roun' 5.10/6.04'ish .. but have never asked .. How come on some of my machines everything mounted inside /media shows on my Desktop .. but like now, my server (mounted via nfs) is not showing on my Desktop? .. can I manually tell it to show? mount -a doesn't help although the shared are available/mounted. | 07:49 |
| macogw | billyb_: i keep having to start over typing your name! | 07:49 |
| billyb_ | lmao im sorry | 07:49 |
| billyb_ | its bein retarded | 07:49 |
| billyb_ | but anyways | 07:50 |
| xTheGoat121x | aha, never mind. Just found it. | 07:50 |
| macogw | billyb_: dell wireless doesnt mean anything. what actual card is it? lspci should tell you. im kinda guessing itll be a broadcom | 07:50 |
| billyb_ | dell wireless 1390 WLAN mini-card | 07:50 |
| billyb_ | my ethernet adapter is broadcom | 07:50 |
| billyb_ | but not my wireless card | 07:51 |
| Francisco | Well.. this time I'm off. I have school tomorrow and I'll try the ms-sys tool tomorrow. Bye | 07:51 |
| macogw | NineTeen67Comet: only stuff in /media shows because thats what HAL tells Nautilus to do...something like that | 07:51 |
| bazhang | cya | 07:51 |
| macogw | billyb_: whats the wireless? | 07:51 |
| towlie | im using ubuntu 7.10. when i press the power button on my laptop i get the error "action forbidden" policy timeout is not valid | 07:51 |
| billyb_ | dell wireless 1390 wlan mini-card | 07:51 |
| macogw | billyb_: dell isnt a type of wireless card...they just rename someone else's as that | 07:51 |
| billyb_ | as it says in the device manager | 07:51 |
| johndbritton | i just moved a bunch of html files from a windows server to an ubuntu apache server... alot of the files have random '??????' in them, any ideas... i've tried FTP in binary and ASCII modes | 07:51 |

| billyb_ | my ethernet is broadcom so i guess so | 07:52 |
| billyb_ | dell is RETARDED | 07:52 |
| Tidus | billyb_, yes they are. | 07:52 |
| NineTeen67Comet | macogw: do you know where I can edit HAL to include my NFS shares (mounted in /media currently) .. I've got a local partition mounted and it shows (/media/home-backup is /dev/sdb1) .. | 07:52 |
| billyb_ | lol | 07:52 |
| billyb_ | how do i connect from livecd? | 07:52 |
| billyb_ | i couldn't figure it out lol | 07:52 |
| towlie | anyone | 07:52 |
| Tidus | i'm not sure if the livecd has ndiswrapper on it or not | 07:52 |
| macogw | billyb_: you can try using the bcm43xx driver and that requires adding the firmware. you have a wired connection from that box? | 07:52 |
| billyb_ | yes | 07:53 |
| billyb_ | but i don't want to go out in the livingroom lol | 07:53 |
| macogw | billyb_: wget http://macoafi.googlepages.com/firmware.tar.gz | 07:53 |
| macogw | billyb_: ok fine download that where you are | 07:53 |
| macogw | billyb_: then use the sneakernet to put it on the other one | 07:53 |

| billyb_ | huh? | 07:53 |

| bazhang | mrpockets: check the ccsm plugins for that | 07:54 |
| HinHin | lol sneakernet XD.. haha | 07:54 |

| macogw | billyb_: it should work immediately if that method's going to work | 07:56 |
| macogw | billyb_: if the bcm43xx driver decides to be cranky, youre gonna be in ndiswrapper + windows driver territory | 07:56 |
| bazhang | was afraid floodbot was going to kick you | 07:56 |
| billyb_ | billyb_: copy firmware.tar.gz to desktop | 07:56 |

| jamesrdorn | So this is kind of a wierd question. Does anyone know of a application that would generate a very low noise to keep the audio channel alive @ all times? my spdif setup with logitech z5500 goes to "sleep" when there is no activity, so it kinda cuts off 900ms of a sound before it activates the speakers. | 08:12 |
| jamesrdorn | There is a fix for this in windows, but the application requires .net framework, witch will not install under wine | 08:13 |
| macogw | jamesrdorn: uh i guess you could make a little script to send sound at the card every second or so... | 08:13 |
| ph0rensic_ | james, is there not a way to program a noise in such away? Perhaps fine a low frequency mp3 and continuosly play it? | 08:14 |
| ropiee | hello | 08:14 |
| ropiee | how to update database driver printer? | 08:14 |
| jamesrdorn | macogw: it would have to be faster than once a second, the z5500 goes to sleep almost as fast as the sound stops | 08:14 |
| ropiee | or download driver printer epson LQ-300+ | 08:14 |
| macogw | jamesrdorn: your sound card was made by chimps, wasnt it? | 08:15 |
| ph0rensic_ | does anyone else do the wave with their avant window icons.. or is it just me? | 08:15 |
| jamesrdorn | macogw: Yes, realtek... but it happends to all sound cards w/ spdif and this speaker system | 08:15 |
| macogw | ph0rensic_: yes, until the 5 minutes of "ooo pretty" wore off and i went back to hating docks | 08:16 |
| jamesrdorn | the issue is the logitech control is flawed to put the audio interface to sleep while no sound exist | 08:16 |
| ph0rensic_ | macogw, haha | 08:16 |
| Tidus | jamesrdorn, isn't there some setting in the menu system on those speakers to disable the auto-sleep? | 08:16 |
| ropiee | how to update database driver printer? | 08:16 |
| ph0rensic_ | macogw, for me its taking a little while for the "pretty" to wear off | 08:16 |
| macogw | jamesrdorn: is it a card or a driver thing? | 08:16 |
| guest_ | hi, how to add filter for the compiz-fution? | 08:16 |

| yo_ | it didn't work | 08:17 |
| yo_ | figures | 08:17 |
| jamesrdorn | macogw: this problem is widely known for logitech speakers using spdif | 08:17 |
| macogw | yo_: in that case, ndiswrapper and a windows driver are all thats left | 08:17 |
| yo_ | i couldn't get the files off of the flash disk | 08:17 |

| yo_ | thanks guys | 08:18 |
| yo_ | tt y'all later | 08:18 |
| ropiee | <macogw> ropiee: database driver printer?<--yeah | 08:18 |
| macogw | ropiee: ive never heard of that but um... postscript printers have .ppd files that tell the computer the postcript definitions for that printer. the printing utility should let you pick the right ppd that goes with it, if its postscript based | 08:19 |
| jamesrdorn | So as you can understand most alert sounds dont even make it to the speakers | 08:19 |
| jamesrdorn | problem happends in windows also. | 08:19 |
| jamesrdorn | Strangely enough, realtek sound drivers do not support anything over 2channel using spdiff, but the open & free drivers in linux work just fine | 08:19 |
| jamesrdorn | talked to realtek, they told me to throw out my $25 fiber optical cable and use coax. I told them to fix their driver | 08:20 |
| jamesrdorn | stupid people | 08:20 |
| === RAOF_ is now known as Aelth | ||
| macogw | jamesrdorn: on my friend's laptop, his video card goes to sleep like that...or rather, cuts some of its own power. compiz isnt enough of a gpu hog to keep it from happening, but once it cuts its power in half, compiz sucks. so he has a script to poll the card for stats every 5 seconds so it stays awake. he turns off the script to do *real* gpu intensive things like play games otherwise the script is too much and they get slow. yay nvidia. | 08:23 |
| r4nge | how can i easily tell if sh is actually using bash or awk is using gawk or mawk? | 08:23 |
| macogw | which sh | 08:23 |
| macogw | or ls -l /bin/sh | 08:23 |
| macogw | sh uses dash in ubuntu, i think | 08:24 |
| r4nge | yes i eblieve so but how can i tell or switch it | 08:24 |
| r4nge | also, awk for example actullay is using gawk, how can i switch to mawk | 08:25 |
| Flannel | r4nge: he just told you how you can tell, why do you need to switch it? | 08:25 |
| sami | r4nge: You can make an alias or relink it. | 08:25 |
| r4nge | i don't, just would like to know how | 08:25 |
| macogw | ls -l /bin/sh | 08:25 |
| supershort | this may not be a question to ask... but is it possible for anyone to hax my lampp server through a router with the security that comes with ubuntu | 08:25 |
| WGGMk | how do I make a default install of Gutsy Gibbon amd64 STOP using usplash and start using splashy.. both are installed...?? | 08:25 |
| macogw | itll show that its a link to /bin/dash or /usr/bin/dash or whatever it is | 08:25 |
| macogw | supershort: umm they could brute force your password through ssh... | 08:26 |
| macogw | supershort: or if they find an exploit in apache, get in through that | 08:26 |
| supershort | but it is less likely? | 08:26 |
| macogw | supershort: anything can be hacked. period. end of story. the only unhackable computer lacks a power supply and network card. | 08:26 |
| jamesrdorn | I wonder how I can just send something direct to the audio socket via a script | 08:27 |
| jamesrdorn | mpg123? | 08:27 |
| demonspork | how do I get the icons for my mounted partitions to automatically show up on the right side of the desktop rather than the left? | 08:27 |
| macogw | supershort: if you have a good password and keep everything updated...yes, its unlikely | 08:27 |
| Flannel | jamesrdorn: /dev/random. Actually, you might see if catting /dev/zero would keep it active | 08:27 |
| macogw | demonspork: move them, i think? | 08:27 |
| macogw | demonspork: there might be a setting when you right click the desktop to automatically arrange icons...turning that off might work | 08:28 |
| macogw | could also be something in gconf-editor | 08:28 |
| macogw | thats the type of thing gconf would have | 08:28 |
| Gavo | hey guys... i had to format most of my computer, but I ghosted Kubuntu... im looking for the best way to reinstall Grub though | 08:28 |
| Flannel | !grub | Gavo | 08:28 |
| ubotu | Gavo: 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 | 08:29 |
| Flannel | Gavo: First link there | 08:29 |
| Kasperle | any ideas why a freshly installed ubuntu (gutsy, using gnome) might always "skip" one workspace when switching with ctrl-alt-left/right? | 08:29 |
| Gavo | thanks guys! | 08:29 |
| Gavo | appreciate that | 08:29 |
| magnetron | Kasperle: by default, there is only two workspaces | 08:29 |
| WGGMk | how do I disable "usplash" so I can use "splashy"??? | 08:30 |
| up_the_irons | anyone know how to make some changes in /etc/resolv.conf permanent? I think NetworkManager is overwriting it | 08:30 |
| up_the_irons | (ubuntu 7.10) | 08:30 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: if you never want NM to change it, you can chattr it immutable | 08:31 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: itd be unchangeable until you make it mutable again | 08:31 |
| magnetron | up_the_irons: stop network manager from starting. system > preferences > sessions | 08:31 |
| macogw | magnetron: wouldnt the daemon run anyway thogh? | 08:31 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: magnetron : well, I don't mind it running, it does help manage the network, but I'd like to tell it about extra "search" domains | 08:32 |
| up_the_irons | that it should include for all locations | 08:32 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: not sue, but that might be able to be put in /etc/hosts | 08:32 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: true, but kinda a pain to list each domain. I have 2 company domains that should always be added to hostnames of less than 1 period. | 08:33 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: so i can do "ssh mail" instead of "ssh mail.arpnetworks.com" | 08:33 |
| up_the_irons | magnetron: i'm actually not running gnome, but wmii | 08:34 |
| Piet | i got a problem with mod-jk connector; in the log i see cant resolve tomcat address localhost | 08:34 |
| Kasperle | magnetron: i have 4 | 08:34 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: you can just put "mail" | 08:34 |
| Flannel | up_the_irons: how about ssh $MAIL? | 08:34 |
| macogw | in /etc/hosts | 08:34 |
| Piet | macogw you talking to me? | 08:34 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: yeah, but then i have to enumerate all of my domains | 08:34 |
| macogw | Piet: dont think so | 08:35 |
| Kasperle | magnetron: and when i switch, it always switches from 1 to 3. even if i was on 2 or 4 before. really strange | 08:35 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: the whole point of the "search" line in /etc/resolv.conf is so the resolver does that for you :) | 08:35 |
| macogw | oh | 08:35 |
| Bodsda | hey guys, after ive been logged in for about an hour, x crashes and takes me out to the login screen, any thoughts? | 08:35 |
| macogw | i never used search :P | 08:35 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: i've actually been able to do this on linux in the past, but i'm new to ubuntu atm | 08:35 |
| jamesrdorn | Flannel: nah /dev/zero & /dev/random did not help | 08:35 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: been away in OS X land for 4 years | 08:35 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: system -> admin -> networking has a place you can list nameservers and stuff like that....maybe NM wouldnt overwrite that ? | 08:35 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: and i was able to do it in OS X easily as well ;) | 08:35 |
| xTheGoat121x | My trash icon no longer reports when something gets added to .Trash. It constantly shows nothing in there, but if I open .Trash, the files are there to be deleted. | 08:36 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: perhaps, i'll try | 08:36 |
| Kasperle | oh. hehe. switching right hits workspaces 1 and 3, switching left hits 2 and 4. | 08:36 |
| WGGMk | Is there a way to disable usplash so that I can use splashy instead???? (Gutsy amd64) | 08:36 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: i wish i knew what app that was though, b/c i'm running wmii right now, so there's no menu bar for me to pick apps ;) | 08:36 |
| Blinkiz | hi | 08:36 |
| magnetron | Kasperle: sounds like if you have double key binds | 08:36 |
| jamesrdorn | WGGMk: does usplash even work w/ your system? | 08:36 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, id be careful, installing splashy on my machine caused it to corrupt grub unrepairably, i had to do a fresh install | 08:37 |
| Flannel | jamesrdorn: random didn't? really? thats...... odd indeed. | 08:37 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: huh?? | 08:37 |
| Flannel | jamesrdorn: random should be obnoxious and everything | 08:37 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: i'm not running gnome | 08:37 |
| jamesrdorn | Flannel: actually running cat /dev/random locked up the CLI, couldnt even break out of it | 08:37 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: NM has a daemon an a little icon in the panel to pic what wireless network you want | 08:37 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: I would think grub and the bootsplash are separate aren't they? | 08:37 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: oh what are you running? | 08:37 |
| macogw | or is that what you meant by wmii? | 08:37 |
| Kasperle | magnetron: that's what i thought to. suspected compiz at first, but when i remove the binds from gnome, they're gone from compiz as well | 08:38 |
| WGGMk | jamersdorn: I wouldn't see why not if I was able to install and configure it.. but I can't tell right now | 08:38 |
| Flannel | jamesrdorn: Er, thats unusual too. For what it's worth. | 08:38 |
| macogw | why do i type better without looking than when looking? | 08:38 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: right right, i could switch back to gnome to do this, but it's kinda a pain. and yes, the window manager i'm running is "wmii" | 08:38 |
| jamesrdorn | WGGMk: what I am asking is, usplash does not work on my system | 08:38 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, no, splashy is a program that can let you customize the boot loading process (afaik) so it has control of grub settings aswell | 08:38 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: do you ever use gnome? | 08:38 |
| WGGMk | jamersdorn: oh you said usplash.. yes usplash works.. it was installed by default.. but I want to use splashy | 08:38 |
| jamesrdorn | the monitor just goes to sleep until it hits the gui | 08:38 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: sometimes | 08:38 |
| jamesrdorn | k | 08:38 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: do you use NM when you use it? | 08:38 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: you can just remove NM | 08:39 |
| Blinkiz | I have two (something..) soundcard drivers installed. I think this is why am getting the audio from both my laptop speakers and the speakers I plug-in into my headphone jack. Anyway, I don't really know. It says am having a "HDA Intel (Alsa Mixer)" and a "Realtek ACL268 (OSS Mixer)". Can I optimize my sound someway? | 08:39 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: I believe your thinking of startup-manager | 08:39 |
| jamesrdorn | WGGMk: I even changed the resolution seval times, and it does not work ata ll | 08:39 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, no im not | 08:39 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: splashy should have nothing to do with GRUB | 08:39 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, it was just a warning anyways, make a backup first | 08:39 |
| jastiv | is it a good idea to use checkinstall or not? | 08:40 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, splashy can let you put a background screen to the grub menu, so it does have access to grub settings | 08:40 |
| MDKSIGN | Is there a way to disable all restricted drivers - I installed ATI driver (don't think I needed it) and now my screen is blank :/ | 08:40 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: now that you mention.. I have this utility called Kronos that makes images of systems.. so that you can re-image entire systems with current configs.. kinda like firewire imaging on MAC's.. but I usually do it after installing and getting setup before tinkering with things | 08:40 |
| Flannel | jastiv: checkinstall is better than straight compiling, but worse than proper package management | 08:40 |
| macogw | MDKSIGN: edit you xog.conf to use vesa instead of fglrx | 08:40 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: i run "nm-applet --sm-disable &" in my .Xsession so that the wireless works automatically. Being new to Ubuntu on this laptop, I honestly don't know any other way to get wireless running | 08:40 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: seriously though.. you might be thinking of Splash Screen Manager | 08:41 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: you can install wicd | 08:41 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: or wifi-radar | 08:41 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: what are those? | 08:41 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: and use that in place of NM | 08:41 |
| WGGMk | bodsda: splashy is just an alternative to usplash | 08:41 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: same idea but not a panel icon | 08:41 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: oh neat | 08:41 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, lemme find the site im thinkin of,.,.hang on | 08:41 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: some people's wireless cards dont work with NM, so they use those | 08:41 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: gotcha | 08:41 |
| MDKSIGN | Is there a shortcut to disable all restricted drivers? | 08:42 |
| MDKSIGN | or a command in terminal | 08:42 |
| Tidus | i still think that the choice of wireless config should be left to the user instead of forcing NM on the user | 08:42 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: i don't see wicd in apt-cache search, but i found wifi-radar | 08:42 |
| macogw | MDKSIGN: you could uninstall linux-restricted-modules | 08:42 |
| Tidus | kind of like openSuSE does | 08:42 |
| MDKSIGN | I cant see anything on my screen | 08:42 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: wicd is found through firefox | 08:42 |
| MDKSIGN | (im on live cd atm) | 08:42 |
| Tidus | they ask you during install if you want to use networkmanager or the traditional ifupdown method | 08:42 |
| macogw | up_the_irons: ie. not in the repos | 08:42 |
| compwiz18 | up_the_irons: if you want to try wicd, try wicd.net | 08:42 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, i cant find the one i was looking for,.,.but this might interest you -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/splashy/+bug/92276 | 08:42 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: compwiz18 : ah ok | 08:42 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: this is some starter info on Splashy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashy | 08:42 |
| macogw | Tidus: you can remove it | 08:42 |
| macogw | Tidus: it works great for me...the only way to get WPA with ipw3945 on Dapper without insane amounts of work | 08:43 |
| Tidus | macogw, i believe that it breaks ubuntu-desktop thop | 08:43 |
| Tidus | tho * | 08:43 |
| macogw | Tidus: no that was in Edgy..maybe Feisty | 08:43 |
| Kasperle | magnetron: ah. compiz was to blame. it had both the desktop cube and the desktop wall enabled by default, which both grabbed the shortcuts | 08:43 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: thanks for the link.. ill read on that. | 08:43 |
| macogw | they got rid of it being a dependency...just a recommends or suggests now | 08:43 |
| Tidus | macogw, i use 7.10 and i think networkmanager is still a dependency | 08:43 |
| Tidus | i'm away from that machine or i'd go look | 08:44 |
| WGGMk | Can anyone tell me how to DISABLE usplash so that I can use splashy instead?? | 08:44 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, the wiki link u gave me, has a link to the splashy home page, where i found this line -- Make sure that you have “vga=791 splash” as kernel parameters. You can add this to /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/lilo.conf. See the FAQ section for more. see "grub" | 08:44 |
| MDKSIGN | I've installed some restricted driver for my monitor, now it says "out of range" on my screen, cpu is still working though, just cant see anything | 08:44 |
| up_the_irons | macogw: thanks for the help, i'll give those a spin | 08:44 |
| macogw | Tidus: recommends | 08:44 |
| Tidus | ah | 08:44 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, on the wiki link, go to splashy home page, and follow installation instructions | 08:44 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: aye, however I don't use 1024x768 16bit I use a higher bootsplash resolution | 08:44 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, that was my prob,. im sure my vga doesnt = 791 so i changed it and it broke my system | 08:45 |
| Tidus | well i might have to removify it because the computer i'm having NM issues on has 2 network cards (one wired one wireless) functioning as a router with WLAN as the wan port | 08:45 |
| Tidus | basically i'm sharing a borrowed wireless connection to my 3 computers | 08:45 |
| macogw | nice | 08:45 |
| MDKSIGN | Is there a command I can do in terminal to disable all restricted drivers? | 08:45 |
| fotoflo | hey, i have a quick question, i am trying to use lsof -i, the manual says lsof -i [46][protocol][@hostname|hostaddr][:service|port] , but im having trouble formatting the command | 08:46 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: my trouble isn't installing splashy.. that's already done along with my theme.. the issue im having is usplash (the ubuntu default) overrides my splashy.. so I need to disable it | 08:46 |
| fotoflo | is it lsof -i 4 tcp @localhost 80 ? why isnt that working? | 08:46 |

| PoGz | madcogw: hey.. i found a new driver for Atheros. its madwifi-0.9.4.taz.bz2.. how do i install it? | 08:46 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, i believe its a 'quiet' parameter in the boot line -- here you go -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=575708 | 08:47 |
| bakom | hello, is there a way to convert the coding of a file from latin1 to utf8? | 08:47 |
| Bodsda | PoGz, follow the readme in the tarball | 08:47 |
| Tidus | WGGMk, instead of 'ro quiet splash' in grub.conf change it to 'ro verbose nosplash' | 08:48 |
| PoGz | bodsda: lol | 08:48 |
| macogw | PoGz: hes not joking | 08:48 |
| macogw | PoGz: on linux, readme's are actually useful | 08:48 |
| Tidus | it should be in the 'default options' section of grub.conf or menu.lst | 08:48 |
| Bodsda | macogw, thanks ;~) | 08:48 |
| WGGMk | Tidus: with that still enable me to use splashy INSTEAD of usplash? | 08:48 |
| PoGz | ok guys... | 08:48 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, yes | 08:49 |
| El1 | zsnes wont start. Starting in terminal, it says something like: "Starting Mouse detection. | 08:49 |
| El1 | Unable to poll /dev/input/event8. Make sure you have read permissions to it." | 08:49 |
| El1 | ...Up to "event 0". | 08:49 |
| El1 | Furter down it says: "can't create mcop directory. | 08:49 |
| macogw | night all | 08:49 |
| Tidus | WGGMk, if you change it to 'nosplash' that disables usplash and keeps the kernel in 80x25 text mode | 08:49 |
| WGGMk | Bodsda: ill give it a shot then | 08:49 |
| Bodsda | !paste > El1 please read pm from ubotu | 08:49 |
| Bodsda | WGGMk, hope you have better luck then i did | 08:49 |
| WGGMk | Tidus: what would I need to do to enable splashy > usplash | 08:49 |
| Bodsda | ;~) | 08:49 |
| fotoflo | anyone know whats going on with LSOF? | 08:49 |
| Tidus | WGGMk, that i believe would be part of the initrd that is called right after the kernel starts | 08:50 |
| WGGMk | Tidus: so just installing and configuring it should take care of it.. but I need to stop usplash from starting after GRUB then?? | 08:50 |
| Tidus | you'll notice there's 4 lines in the boot stanza for ubuntu. the "root (hdx,x)" bit tells what partition to start from, the kernel line tells it where the kernel is, then you have an initrd line which calls the hardware detection and in some cases turns on splash, then the 'boot' line | 08:51 |
| WGGMk | Tidus: ok, I think I got the info I needed.. and ill play around with it. thanks | 08:51 |
| Tidus | WGGMk, but you might not have to change anything in the initrd | 08:51 |
| Tidus | WGGMk, in the 'default boot options' in menu.lst or grub.conf you'll see 'ro quiet splash' or something to that effect | 08:51 |
| Marbug | it it normal that when I switch tabs in firefox, that it goes slow? like 1 second to switch a tab? if I got 2 windows it goes directly | 08:52 |
| Tidus | WGGMk, change that to 'ro verbose nosplash' to keep the kernel in text mode | 08:52 |
| jamesrdorn | =( found a silence.wav file, but it's not enough data to triger the system | 08:52 |
| WGGMk | Tidus: aight thnx | 08:52 |
| Bodsda | Marbug, no thats not normal | 08:52 |
| luckyshot | hey guys, what compiler would i need and how would i install it on ubuntu for c programming? | 08:52 |
| Tidus | jamesrdorn, install audacity and create a silence wave or something that just sends a really low bass note | 08:52 |
| Marbug | Bodsda, I got that from the beginning when I installed ubuntu | 08:52 |
| Flannel | luckyshot: install build-essential, that'll grab gcc and the core libs you need | 08:53 |
| Marbug | and I don't had that problem in kde | 08:53 |
| jamesrdorn | Tidus: got a 10" sub, I hope I can get a tone that doesnt trigger that sub all day =) | 08:53 |
| fotoflo | hey, i have a quick question, i am trying to use lsof -i, the manual says lsof -i [46][protocol][@hostname|hostaddr][:service|port] , but im having trouble formatting the command, id like to get evrything i can about port 80 on the localhost | 08:53 |
| Bodsda | Marbug, you could double check, by using the livecd and seeing if the firefox on that is slow, if it is then its a problem with your machine, or your network | 08:53 |
| luckyshot | Flannel, thanks | 08:53 |
| MDKSIGN | how do you start ubuntu in recovery mode? | 08:53 |
| Flannel | MDKSIGN: At the GRUB menu, choose the Recovery Mode option (you may need to hit escape to see the GRUB menu, right after the POST) | 08:54 |
| fotoflo | lsof -i80 is tehe command in redhat | 08:54 |
| Bodsda | Marbug, sudo apt-get purge firefox && sudo apt-get install firefox | 08:54 |
| Tidus | jamesrdorn, a 5hz sine wave at minimal volume wont annoy anybody | 08:54 |
| MDKSIGN | thanks flannel | 08:54 |
| Marbug | hm k Bodsda but I don't think it would be a problem with my machine :) or even my network | 08:54 |
| Tidus | 5hz is below the range of human hearing | 08:54 |
| Bodsda | quick question, why is it && to link things in cli rather than just & | 08:54 |
| Flannel | Bodsda: Its logical and | 08:54 |
| jamesrdorn | Tidus: found a nice sound, that triggers the system, but it's not silent at the end | 08:55 |
| jamesrdorn | so installing audacity | 08:55 |
| Tidus | or do the speakers 'pop' when they come back on? | 08:55 |
| Tidus | jamesrdorn, so install audacity and trim the loud part off the end of it | 08:55 |
| Bodsda | Flannel, ok, how is using two of one thing logical? | 08:55 |
| jamesrdorn | I have never used audacity, but I am sure I can figure it out =) | 08:55 |
| NForc3r | hey guys how do i get my 5.1 audio to work like it does in windows | 08:55 |
| NForc3r | windows has speaker fill and i cant get that in linux | 08:56 |
| Bodsda | NForc3r, install windows | 08:56 |
| NForc3r | i have | 08:56 |
| NForc3r | dual booted | 08:56 |
| Flannel | Bodsda: Technically if you want to link something, you just do command1; command2. ANDing them together will cause the second one to run only if the first one returns a 1 (success), so if it fails (returns 0) the computer knows that 0 && [anything] is 0, so it wont do the second command at all. | 08:56 |
| Bodsda | why do you want linux like windows | 08:56 |
| Marbug | Bodsda, I did what you told, but it didn't changed anything | 08:56 |
| NForc3r | but windows sucks massive hairy, disfigured, bloody, warty balls | 08:56 |
| Marbug | I think I just won't use tabs and just switch windows :s Bodsda | 08:56 |
| NForc3r | no i want my audio to work | 08:56 |
| NForc3r | Lol much | 08:56 |
| Bodsda | Flannel, thankyou,. that helps, but why 2 & not 1 | 08:57 |
| Flannel | Bodsda: because & is a bitwise operator, && is the logical one (in most languages, & on the command line is actually something different entirely) | 08:57 |
| Bodsda | Flannel, oh,. ok,. and what does a single & do in a bash shell? | 08:58 |
| Flannel | Bodsda: `cmd &` will send cmd into the background immediately | 08:58 |
| NForc3r | anyone here have 5.1 surround sound that isnt suround in linux | 08:58 |
| Bodsda | Flannel, oopps,.,. i just remembered.,. i use single & signs from terminal daily,. damn,.,. sorry for wasting your time,.,.;~) | 08:59 |

| Marbug | is there any other good browser with tabs, thats quite similar to firefox ? | 09:03 |
| osfameron | mozilla? ;-) | 09:03 |
| osfameron | opera maybe | 09:03 |
| phac3 | opera | 09:03 |
| phac3 | netscape | 09:03 |
| Survivorman | you could try epiphany browser | 09:04 |
| Marbug | hmm | 09:06 |
| Marbug | I got like 3 choises now :p | 09:06 |
| Marbug | but which one is faster? | 09:06 |
| J-a-K-e | hello all, does anyone know how to go about setting up a low pass filter through alsa? | 09:06 |
| Survivorman | Opera is probably faster, but doesn't play nice with some sites like yahoo mail. epiphany is very similar to firefox but with no extensions | 09:06 |
| phac3 | nothing beats firfox | 09:06 |
| Marbug | what do you mean with extensions ? | 09:06 |
| phac3 | marbug:he means add-on | 09:06 |
| Survivorman | the addons to firefox, like fasterfox, weather extensions, etc | 09:06 |
| Marbug | I know phac3 but the thing is that when I switch tabs it's just too slow :p | 09:06 |
| Marbug | ah I see | 09:07 |
| Marbug | well I don't quite use addons so ... :) | 09:07 |
| J-a-K-e | i'd go for firefox for all-round no frills ease of use add ons are a huge bonus too | 09:07 |
| Survivorman | i'd give epiphany a try... i think it uses the same engine and a lot of similar/same code as firefox | 09:08 |
| Marbug | alright :) | 09:08 |
| Survivorman | i believe apt-get install epiphany-browser gets it | 09:09 |
| Survivorman | epiphany is a different application | 09:09 |
| Marbug | synaptic is my friens :) | 09:09 |

| Leopard2A5 | hi guys, i'm new to ubuntu, i'm preparing to install ubuntu on my (sofar-) windows-machine, but i have a question: i have a RAID 5 consisting of 3 HDDs, on Win i have to install drivers for the RAID when installing windows. is this also the case with Ubuntu | 10:24 |
| Leopard2A5 | ? | 10:24 |
| fx|RabBit | lapisdecor: ok leads me to the nex question, when do you get up usually? XD | 10:24 |
| fx|RabBit | Leopard2A5: depends on wether ubuntu supports your controller or not | 10:25 |
| lapisdecor | fx|RabBit: well, last night I saw the oscars, so... I dont really have a pattern :D | 10:25 |
| fx|RabBit | Leopard2A5: i would anyways strongly recommend to save that data opn your rai before you proceed! | 10:25 |
| Leopard2A5 | hehe, yeah thought so | 10:25 |

| philipp_ | no, on an usb pen, drive etc | 10:38 |
| NET||abuse | fx|RabBit, sorry, ok,, basically i only want to use my laptop as a wifi router when i'm in the office, when I go home i have an actual wifi router so there's no need for firestarter. | 10:39 |
| NET||abuse | So will this setup get out of the way of my regular home setup easily, without having to manually deactivate the setup when i go home (just default to normal config when i reboot?) | 10:39 |
| Squawk | philipp_, oh. Hmm, man slocate (you can create a database starting anywhere, so you could just specify the pen drive) | 10:39 |
| guest_ | ? | 10:39 |
| NET||abuse | So i would only want my laptop to act as a router when i manually invoke firestarter. | 10:40 |
| msn | i am trying to install ubuntu over the network. the installation starts just fine byt it starts throwing up RETR: dailed to open file. how do i know what files are missing i did find the earlier issue being apt-mirror doesnt mirror the debian-installer i got that already | 10:40 |
| guest_ | is there any program can make the desktop video? | 10:40 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: firestarter runs on startup per default and it does nat if yoi configure it so | 10:40 |
| karuna_bdc | guest: ive seen that, wasnt that on one of the old techTV shows where they turned the desktop to the matrix or somefing? | 10:41 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: if you want that differently you need to configure firestarter accordingly | 10:41 |

| philipp_ | is there no way to open the pen drive, click "search" and find something? | 10:42 |
| NET||abuse | ok,, so i'm using eth2 (ethernet cable) to connect to internet and eth3(wifi card) to share out the connection in the office,, then when i go home, i will want to just have eth3 connecting to the existing wifi router and not do connection sharing at all.. | 10:42 |

| Marbug | I'm using amsn, but I don't hear any sound when someone comes online etc... in preferences > others > sound server is set to "play $sound" is that correct? or is there something else wrong ? | 10:42 |
| NET||abuse | fx|RabBit, ok,, so i would just want network manager to config things as normal at home and at the offfice, untill i invoke firestarter to share connection over my wifi for use will my phone, as i will not always want this to be active anyway | 10:43 |
| NET||abuse | I don't seem to be able to select "enable DHCP" on the setup wizard here.. | 10:43 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: to do connection sharing you have to configure firestarter to do NAT, ie. network adress translation. IF firestarter is NOT running it cant share the connection. that ewasy | 10:43 |
| NET||abuse | ok, great, so make sure firestarter doesn't runon boot and i should be ok. | 10:44 |
| philipp_ | tracker-search tool doesn't find anything at all, deskbar applett nearly nothing and the file-browser's serach at least the files of the current folder... | 10:44 |

| NET||abuse | fx|RabBit, no, there's no wifi points to connect to here. the wifi isn't active | 10:45 |
| NativeAngels | even though it is | 10:45 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: in that case that is probably the reason why it says its not ready? | 10:46 |
| PoGz | i have a problem with my wifi connection.. someone pls help me.. | 10:46 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: but that is just an educated guess | 10:46 |
| NET||abuse | fx|RabBit, ok,, umm, how do i turn on the wifi? and setup all the wifi settings for being an access point. | 10:46 |
| NET||abuse | I suppose i thought firestarter would have facilities for settings like SSID, and WPA | 10:46 |
| NET||abuse | and configing the ip of the wifi router | 10:47 |
| NET||abuse | nads. | 10:47 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: ??? nope buddy firestarter is a firewall not a wifi software;) | 10:47 |
| NET||abuse | what do i do now? | 10:47 |
| NET||abuse | ok, so firestarter will deal with the route config, but not make the wifi active as an AP | 10:47 |
| osfameron | well, a firewall deals with both blocking things, and letting them through... | 10:47 |
| NET||abuse | what should i do to make my wifi an AP? | 10:48 |
| fx|RabBit | NET||abuse: you need to have an existing connection on that wifi card of yours. when you goit that configure firestarter to direct traffic incomming from eth2 to leave your network on eth3 | 10:48 |
| karuna_bdc | how does wine work? it dont seem to be doing much for me | 10:48 |
| NET||abuse | fx|RabBit, emm, i'm confused, it's the other way around, there is not a wifi network to connect to, my laptop connect to the internet over ethernet cable on eth2, so traffic from eth3 needs to be sent over eth2.. and i need to somehow turn on my wifi card to broadcast an SSID and allow connections? How do i achieve that? | 10:49 |

| fx|RabBit | karuna_bdc: no problem;) | 11:31 |
| jole | I have removed Desktop Effects, that come by default in ubuntu 7.04, and then installed compiz | 11:32 |
| jole | i could see the cube before, with Desktop Effects | 11:32 |
| fx|RabBit | jole: system/preferences/appearance -> enable cube | 11:32 |
| Survivorman | I think there might be a channel for compiz. You might want to try there #compiz-fusion. | 11:33 |
| fx|RabBit | jole: sorry not the way, errr, sec | 11:33 |
| jole | yes, sure. sorry for bothering | 11:33 |
| Bodsda | jole, you need desktop effects on to use compiz cube | 11:33 |
| Survivorman | np, just thought they might be able to troubleshoot better there. | 11:34 |
| fx|RabBit | jole: type gnome-control-center intzo terminal | 11:34 |
| fx|RabBit | jole: there you enable the cube | 11:34 |
| kaushal | hi | 11:34 |
| kaushal | what does rp-pppoe means | 11:34 |
| lkthomas | hey guys | 11:34 |
| lkthomas | I am trying to rebuild kernel, do I have to use --initrd ? | 11:35 |
| kaushal | I mean rp in "rp-pppoe" | 11:35 |
| jole | ok, just a min | 11:35 |
| Bodsda | fx|RabBit, system--preferences--appearence--visual effects--enable 'Custom' then type ccsm in terminal ,.,. the cube settings are there | 11:35 |
| lordleemo | kaushal: roaming penguin | 11:36 |
| === vogella is now known as haberman | ||
| === haberman is now known as haberman2 | ||
| kaushal | lordleemo: Thanks | 11:36 |
| fx|RabBit | Bodsda: which would be one step more direct. yes | 11:37 |
| [blackb] | .freenode.com | 11:37 |
| kaushal | lordleemo: I have a query regarding pppoe | 11:37 |
| kaushal | can i discuss with you | 11:37 |
| lordleemo | kaushal: sure whats up | 11:37 |
| === bs_ is now known as Onkel|A | ||
| Bodsda | fx|RabBit, ur way -- system/preferences/appearance -> enable cube -- will get you nowhere because there is no 'enable cube' setting in appearence,.,. | 11:38 |
| kaushal | lordleemo: I have installed the e1000 module, I am able to connect to the internet only when i do the sudo killall pppd and then do sudo pon dsl-provider. Every now and then i have to do this for connecting to the Internet. I have configured ADSL over PPPOE using sudo pppoeconf and it has created pppoe_on_boot script also but I am unable to connect to the internet. | 11:38 |
| fx|RabBit | Bodsda: which was exactly the reason why i apologized for giving false info and corrected myself a few lines below | 11:38 |
| jole | After installing ubuntu 7.04 I had Desktop Effects in System->Preferences menu. After installing compiz, it's gone. There is CompizConfig Settings Manager. | 11:38 |
| kaushal | Again i have to do the sudo killall pppd and then do sudo pon dsl-provider to connect to the internet and then it works fine. Also NetworkManager Applet 0.6.4 keeps on rotating to get the network address | 11:38 |
| jole | I can't see only the cube, everything else works | 11:39 |
| jole | but, never mind, I will reinstall ubuntu when I have some time free | 11:39 |
| jole | tnx a lot | 11:39 |
| Bodsda | fx|RabBit, just tried your other suggestion -- nifty little window, unfortunately you cannot enable the cube there either | 11:40 |
| bazhang | no need to reinstall this is not windows ;] | 11:40 |
| Bodsda | you still have to open ccsm | 11:40 |
| jole | greetings from me | 11:40 |

| rakehour | Yogesh: you got the correct driver installed | 12:05 |
| hischild | bullgard4, as far as i know those things are installed by default. do you just want that information or are you trying to develop a program of sorts? | 12:05 |
| hischild | xukun, you're welcome | 12:05 |
| Yogesh | how can I install correct driver, I dont have an idea about my graphics card | 12:05 |
| danand_ | phoenix24 - think you can configure the port ssh uses by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. After that you'll need to restart ssh with sudo /etc/init.d/restart | 12:05 |

| sarthor_ | Slart, My dhcpd is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57319/ | 12:07 |

| bullgard4 | hischild: I should like to obtain the primary information from SMBus devices on my computer's motherboard via SMBus and its associated tools. | 12:07 |
| barbarian-irc | rakehour It should have one | 12:08 |
| rakehour | what model brand is it? | 12:08 |
| fx|RabBit | barbarian-irc: type lspci into a terminal and see if anything alike is listed | 12:08 |
| unholymarriage | i somehow managed to reformat my swap partition to fat32 in windows.....can anyone tell me how to revert it back to a swap partion in ubuntu?? | 12:08 |

| sarthor_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57320/ | 12:08 |
| danand_ | barbarian-irc - you can try the commands lshw lspci and lsusb to see info about the hardware in your system - just type those commands in a terminal | 12:08 |
| ynef | unholymarriage: check the manual page for "mkswap" | 12:09 |

| fx|RabBit | (01:08:14 PM) fx|RabBit: barbarian-irc: type lspci into a terminal and see if anything alike is listed | 12:09 |

| bab | I need my Canon LiDE 500F but SANE does not support. What can I do? | 12:09 |
| Slart | sarthor_: looks correct as far as I can see.. and I suppose the ip in question is 192.168.2.10? .. and you are sure your dhcp server is handing that ip out ? | 12:09 |
| rakehour | do what fx|RabBit said try lspci | 12:09 |
| kane77 | barbarian-irc, if you get something that looks like 802.11 or wireless then you have it | 12:09 |
| barbarian-irc | hmm | 12:10 |
| barbarian-irc | lolz | 12:10 |
| barbarian-irc | guess it has not :( | 12:10 |
| barbarian-irc | I feel ripped off now | 12:10 |
| sarthor_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57320/ i jave have made this change with 2nd gateway | 12:10 |
| fx|RabBit | sarthor: that config looks proper to me, so the other guy must be right: you probably have a static ip configured somewhere in your net | 12:10 |
| bod_ | bazhang, right, i gotta head off in a bit,.,. il be back in a couple of hours | 12:10 |
| rakehour | lol | 12:10 |
| icesword | bazhang, did you sleep | 12:10 |
| sarthor_ | Slart, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57320/ i jave have made this change with 2nd gateway | 12:11 |
| barbarian-irc | only has an ethernet controller | 12:11 |
| hischild | bullgard4, i'm sorry, the only package i know of this, would be battery-stats. It does collect info, but it doesn't seem to be build on a program. You might find in there what you are looking for. | 12:11 |
| Slart | sarthor_: don't know if you can experiment with this network.. but what happens if you change the gateway's ip to say 192.168.2.1 instead of 10.. it still gets duplicates? | 12:11 |
| danand_ | barbarian-irc - don't feel bad... many internal wireless cards can be a pain. At least if you have to buy one you know you can _choose_ one that works with gnu/linux | 12:11 |
| fx|RabBit | sarthor_: i dont see the difference | 12:11 |
| Slart | sarthor_: ah.. reading my mind =) | 12:12 |
| Slart | sarthor_: or wait.. my bad | 12:12 |

| Slart | atari: lsb_release -a | 12:16 |
| Survivorman | aptitude purge wine works | 12:16 |
| bullgard4 | hischild: battery-stats is built on top of APM. APM is outdated and not enabled in my Ubuntu 7.10 computer. I will not consider it installing. A better solution is ACPI. | 12:16 |

| atari | ? | 12:17 |
| Ubuntu1 | wine is still in app list how to completley remove all of its components | 12:17 |
| Slart | sarthor_: I'd find the computer with the duplicate ip-number and take a closer look at it | 12:17 |
| Slart | atari: it's not a config file.. it's a command | 12:17 |
| Slart | atari: run it in a terminal | 12:17 |
| atari | Slart: i wannt to find a way to identify a ubuntu in our installer script | 12:17 |

| hischild | bullgard4, i wasn't talking about isntalling it. but maybe that you might find some info there that might help you find what you're looking for. :-) | 12:19 |

| sarthor_ | Slart, all the computer in my cafe are deepfreeze | 12:23 |
| fx|RabBit | sarthor_: haha what does that mean? | 12:24 |
| Slart | sarthor_: deepfreeze? you've got bigger problems then dhcp server settings I think =) | 12:24 |
| crhylove | Wait, that is horrifying. I would like it if I could just right click my ttf file, and select "install font" | 12:24 |
| Slart | *than | 12:24 |
| crhylove | is there a gui way to do it? | 12:24 |
| danand_ | crhylove - short version is you can create a folder in your home dir named .fonts and put all fonts you download in there :) | 12:24 |
| crhylove | cool. thanks | 12:24 |

| danand_ | crhylove - np | 12:26 |
| crhylove | there should really be a right click "install font" option. | 12:26 |

| crhylove | good luck getting that into launchpad. *sigh* | 12:26 |
| danand_ | crhylove - agreed. Font management is a bit confusing | 12:26 |
| fx|RabBit | sarthor_: as Slart said before, take a closer look to that computers with identical ip adresses, one of them for sure has it set to static instead of dhcp | 12:27 |
| sarthor_ | fx|RabBit, i have check serveral time, there is not static ip. | 12:27 |

| ArthurArchnix | fx|RabBit: Sadly, I don't have that option in my bios. HP doesn't consider me responsible enough to use it wisely perhaps. Or maybe they just don't give that support to people who buy cheap HP laptops. :) | 12:30 |

| bullgard4 | homebase: If you are running Windows then your question is a Wondows-related question and not a Linux-related question. | 12:41 |
| homebase | Slart, its a standard linux server install | 12:41 |
| bullgard4 | Windows | 12:41 |
| homebase | Slart, Ill check the sources.list tho | 12:41 |
| homebase | bullgard, the client is windows, the telnet server is linux... | 12:41 |
| Slart | homebase: but once again.. if I were you I'd install ssh and use putty on the windows machine | 12:41 |
| Slart | !putty | 12:42 |
| ubotu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 12:42 |

| unholymarriage | yes telnet passwords are plain text in the open... | 12:42 |
| homebase | Slart, aha, i know why, installer failed to verify so it cut almost all of the sources out | 12:42 |
| homebase | unholymarriage, its running on an internal home network | 12:42 |
| ZeroA4 | fevel, change the security to "share" and chage the owner of the folder to nobody | 12:42 |
| bullgard4 | homebase: yes. So get Windows information how Windows will function as a telnet client | 12:42 |
| Slart | homebase: ah.. problem solved | 12:43 |
| homebase | bullgard4, i know how to do the windows part just not the linux part | 12:43 |
| homebase | Slart, thanks for your help | 12:43 |
| Slart | homebase: you're welcome | 12:43 |
| unholymarriage | oh ok...well is telnet running on your windows machine as a service ....a lot of times security suites turn it off . | 12:43 |
| homebase | unholymarriage, its okay problem solved, the installer on my server had cut all the repositories out due to not having a network connetion at the time | 12:44 |
| homebase | unholymarriage, so i re-enabled all of the repo's and then now i can install it | 12:45 |
| unholymarriage | oh ok thats good then | 12:45 |
| homebase | unholymarriage, i like linux for servers, its simple but i like windows better for desktops it just has that finished feel to it | 12:45 |
| homebase | unholymarriage, but no arguements that linux does make the better desktop its just personal preference | 12:46 |
| * Slart hands homebase the asbestos-suite.. you'll need it after a comment like that ;) | 12:46 | |

| bullgard4 | What tools does Ubuntu provide the SMBus? | 12:51 |

| ArmyMan007 | TeeAhr1: PM me? | 12:52 |
| bullgard4 | What tools does Ubuntu provide to query the SMBus? | 12:52 |
| bazhang | ArmyMan007: ask here what is your question | 12:52 |
| Slart | barbarian-irc: ripped off? what did you buy? what doesn't work "without the card" ? | 12:52 |
| ArmyMan007 | just don't flood the chat server | 12:52 |
| fx|RabBit | barbarian-irc: hahaha yes that makes sense:P | 12:52 |
| barbarian-irc | I bought a notebook without a wireless card | 12:52 |
| homebase | osframeron, i see.... by anychance is it as simple as connecting and running queries like PHP or is it quite tiresome like C++? | 12:52 |
| ArmyMan007 | i just want to know more about livecd option | 12:52 |
| ArmyMan007 | regarding how to work with it | 12:52 |
| fx|RabBit | barbarian-irc: so what those cost like... nothing? | 12:52 |
| barbarian-irc | 1100 euros | 12:53 |
| homebase | barbarian-irc, OUCH! and google 'asus eeepc' | 12:53 |
| ArmyMan007 | if anyone can help me out (and no wikipedia text...) | 12:53 |
| unholymarriage | do you mean how to boot into it army ?? | 12:53 |
| fevel | ZeroA4, I guess the problem is I cant change ownership for the other partitions I have, it slips back to root | 12:53 |
| homebase | ArmyMan007, yes? help? | 12:53 |
| osfameron | homebase: see http://search.cpan.org/search?m=module&q=DBD%3A%3A&s=1&n=50 for a list of DBD's | 12:53 |
| bazhang | ArmyMan007: kind of a general question; you download the iso file burn it to cd, boot from it and then that is it--you can install or not | 12:53 |
| AnRkey | what happened to the source-o-matic sources.list generator on ubuntu.nl's website? | 12:53 |
| fx|RabBit | barbarian-irc: the wifi adapter not the book;) | 12:53 |
| AnRkey | is there another one? | 12:53 |
| Slart | !sourceomatic | 12:53 |
| ubotu | source-o-matic is not available anymore, please use Software Sources (in your Applications / K menu) to configure your repositories. Do NOT enable "Proposed updates" unless you're willing to test possibly seriously flawed packages. | 12:53 |
| ArmyMan007 | the thing is that i want to try it before i install it | 12:54 |
| barbarian-irc | ow dunno yet | 12:54 |
| barbarian-irc | gonna probably cost me 40 euros | 12:54 |
| ArmyMan007 | is it possible to get it running using a USB flash drive and then check it out? | 12:54 |
| AnRkey | thanks Slart | 12:54 |
| osfameron | homebase: the DBI docs are fairly clear - I'd say it's pretty easy http://search.cpan.org/~timb/DBI-1.602/DBI.pm (though you might want to look at an abstraction layer like DBIx::Class, if you like that sort of thing) | 12:54 |
| unholymarriage | ok...all you have to do..if your pc is set up to boot from cd ..is put the cd in your computer...and rboot | 12:54 |
| AnRkey | Slap_Sti1k, what do I do on a server? | 12:54 |
| AnRkey | soz, Slap_Sti1k | 12:54 |
| bazhang | ArmyMan007: that is what the live in livecd means--reboot after using it and then take out the cd and your system is untouched | 12:54 |
| barbarian-irc | I really never thought in 2008 you could buy a notebook without a wireless card :-/ | 12:54 |
| AnRkey | Slart, what do I do on a server? | 12:54 |
| unholymarriage | um yes army ...but there is a process to do it | 12:54 |
| ArmyMan007 | can i use it on a USB? | 12:55 |
| Fiskejohn | I tried Amarok, but it wouldent work! i Could see it was syncing on the Ipod display and it was useing my capacility but no songs where there? | 12:55 |
| homebase | osframeon, thanks, seems fairly easy | 12:55 |
| TeeAhr1 | ArmyMan007: This link may help with putting the livecd iso on a USB drive: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/28/usb-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-install/ | 12:55 |
| Slart | AnRkey: huh? you edit sources.list manually I guess | 12:55 |
| phoenix24 | Before doing a BZR push, do I need to upload my GPG key Launchpad ? | 12:55 |
| phoenix24 | Before doing a BZR push, do I need to upload my GPG key Launchpad ? | 12:55 |
| ArmyMan007 | ok | 12:55 |
| PriceChild | phoenix24, no, I think you need your ssh key there? | 12:55 |
| bazhang | ArmyMan007: very technical and if you are new to linux not that easy; the livecd option is the best | 12:55 |
| Slart | AnRkey: I don't know of a replacement for the sourceomatic.. sorry | 12:55 |
| unholymarriage | my computer wont boot from usb....but bios says it can...liar | 12:55 |
| ArmyMan007 | thanks a bunch! will be back if needed... | 12:55 |
| osfameron | homebase: one advantage over PHP is that the interface (DBI) is the same for every database, so you don't have to change all your function calls if you later on change your backend database | 12:56 |
| amro | How can I use the command "diff" with the argument "--ignore-file-name-case"? thx | 12:56 |
| TeeAhr1 | Good luck! | 12:56 |
| ArmyMan007 | thanks! :D | 12:56 |
| fx|RabBit | barbarian-irc: never thought so either :D | 12:56 |
| homebase | AnRkey, well you could run a webserver such as LAMP, which means you can host webpages, you could setup an File Server using FTP or Samba so people can download files, you could set up a Domain.... depends what ur into | 12:56 |
| homebase | osframeon, thats great | 12:56 |
| homebase | osframeon, hate how PHP does that... | 12:56 |
| AnRkey | homebase, wow thanks | 12:56 |
| osfameron | homebase: heh, yeah | 12:57 |
| ZeroA4 | fevel, Samba is a bit confusing ... i recomend you make a config file from scrath based on this example http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/simple.html | 12:57 |

| homebase | AnRkey, lol, soz im kind of halfin halfout of these convo's | 12:57 |

| ArthurArchnix | I've got my ubuntu boot down to 105 MBs now. The last five I got by removing usplash and gdm, although, I've added vga=791 to my kernel line in grub and I get no text at all. If I remove it I can read it fine, but it's large and ugly. This used to work in feisty. | 13:01 |
| bazhang | tab completion out-o-it just type three or so letters then hit tab | 13:01 |
| out-o-it | bazbang, i know that trick from CCNA and Cisco | 13:03 |

| Dr_willis | echelon3, look in the servers settings of xchat.. theres a button ya gotta hit. :) | 13:05 |
| Bad_boy | HI guys, I have a slight problem, yesterday I did a complete removal of evolution, then re-installed it again. When I clicked on the Icon of evolution on the top panel, it says no such directory. When i type the command in a terminal it loads up | 13:05 |

| Dr_willis | network list -> edit | 13:05 |

| Dr_willis | you can even set the nickser password there | 13:06 |
| barbarian-irc | perl looks cool, shame I don't have time to learn it | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | barbarian-irc, to learn the basics.. about an hr. :) | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | barbarian-irc, to laster regular expressions... well... thats a bit longer. | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | oops to master.. :) | 13:06 |

| barbarian-irc | I can do regular expressions... | 13:06 |
| bazhang | and spelling forever ;] | 13:07 |
| barbarian-irc | I had to code a final state automaton in prolog | 13:07 |

| guillaume_ | Linux rocks ! | 13:08 |
| guillaume_ | loll | 13:08 |
| danand_ | ArthurArchnix - take a look at /etc/default/console-setup. That may help with boot time fonts | 13:08 |
| Dr_willis | ghosTM55, its not an issue by default.. only if you enable laptop-mode stuff.. and even then only with SOME laptops/bios's and even THEN you can disable it. | 13:08 |
| studente23 | CIao | 13:09 |
| studente23 | C'è nessuno cheparli Italiano? | 13:09 |
| ghosTM55 | Dr_willis, thx, i can fix it after i disable the acpi service right? | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | ghosTM55, the varius forumsi read - mention some fix. I forget what the commands even were to 'fix' things.. | 13:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand_: I cam across a post saying to try unblacklisting the intelfb in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer... gonna reboot now and see if it helped. | 13:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand_: Thanks for the tup though, I'll take a look at it if this fails to work. | 13:10 |
| danand_ | ArthurArchnix - wait one.... | 13:10 |

| ghosTM55 | Dr_willis, thx 4 help | 13:10 |

| fx|RabBit | yeah? | 13:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | >tools >plugins and check join/part | 13:12 |
| danand_ | ArthurArchnix - think you have to add vesafb to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. then update initramfs | 13:12 |
| fx|RabBit | ArthurArchnix: thx alot dude:] | 13:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand_: ok... that makes sense. Will do that and let you know how it goes. fx|RabBit No worries. | 13:13 |
| bazhang | Dr_willis: ha tell me about it--my new keyboard is killing me ;] | 13:13 |
| fx|RabBit | its a plugin i cant believe it XD | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | bazhang, whats worse is when you hop from onemachien to another.. and they all have radicially diffrent keybords. | 13:14 |
| danand_ | anyone know how to get rid of those join/leave messages in bitchx :) | 13:15 |
| mysterycool | how i view all the processes?! | 13:15 |

| fx|RabBit | but thre is no linux port of mIRC afaik | 13:19 |
| mavi- | fx|RabBit: there exists -alot- of scripts for the diffrent irc clients | 13:19 |
| mavi- | else you can always run mirc =P | 13:19 |
| bazhang | plenty of linux scripts | 13:19 |

| mavi- | atleast the simple ones like mirk | 13:20 |
| fx|RabBit | hehehe | 13:20 |
| pbne04 | why use mirc when you got irssi :] | 13:20 |
| fx|RabBit | ya sure, i wont install wine for that | 13:20 |
| mavi- | hehe | 13:20 |
| mavi- | its like 1mb diskspace | 13:20 |

| jrib | !apt > xman (read the private message from ubotu) | 13:33 |
| danand_ | Xman - dpkg -i pkgname | 13:33 |
| PriceChild | Xman, it is not reccomended. You should use apt as it handles dependencies. | 13:33 |
| danand_ | Xman - i agree with PriceChild's comment! | 13:34 |

| Andycasss | I have a problem with pureftpd, it doesnt accept some files to be uploaded (only 512bytes transfer), and if i can upload some larger files the speed is very low and drops to 0 every 2-3 seconds, im getting 30kb/s on lan???? | 13:38 |
| Pici | Xman: dpkg -i will install local debs, but like we said before, we reccomend installing software from the packag repositories when possible. | 13:38 |
| Dr_willis | Xman, sudo dpkg -i whatevber-itscalled.deb (normally) | 13:38 |
| jrib | sofiankrt: then you are using the intel driver | 13:38 |
| fx|RabBit | PriceChild: then i dont understand what you gave me that for | 13:38 |
| sofiankrt | jrib: but it's not working? | 13:38 |
| jrib | sofiankrt: what's not working? | 13:39 |
| Xman | Pici: when i used dpkg even then it gave me some kind of erroe | 13:39 |
| sofiankrt | jrib: games, compiz... they used to work | 13:39 |
| Pici | Xman: You need to prefix the command with sudo if you didn't already | 13:39 |
| sofiankrt | jrib: and I'm getting this error when trying to launch ppracer from the terminal | 13:39 |

| tomasso | I changed the monitor and im not able to switch the resolution | 13:41 |
| jrib | sofiankrt: googling that error suggests it's a game issue. For at least one person, purging the game and reinstalling it, resolved the issue | 13:42 |
| sofiankrt | jrib: no, all the games stopped working at once, compiz too. but I've just tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to overwrite all changes to the file, I'll reboot and see | 13:42 |
| Andycasss | When i try to upload to my pure-ftpd server the speed drops to 0 after every 2-3 seconds. Im inside LAN so speeds should be 20 mbps, but instead i upload 60kb/s????? | 13:43 |
| Xman | Pici: dependency problems | 13:43 |
| MasterShrek | sofiankrt, no need to reboot, just restart your xserver | 13:43 |
| rrplay | tomasso: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver | 13:44 |
| fx|RabBit | tomasso how do you try, via ubuntu menu or graphics driver? | 13:44 |
| PriceChild | Andycasss, you should use sftp rather than ftp, ftp just isn't secure | 13:44 |
| tomasso | fx|RabBit, ubuntu menu | 13:44 |
| tomasso | rrplay, le me check | 13:44 |

| fx|RabBit | tomasso: go to system/administration/restricted drivers manager | 13:46 |
| Xman | Pici: no problem thanks | 13:46 |
| fx|RabBit | and tell what is in thre pls | 13:46 |
| Andycasss | PriceChild: I'd just like to get my pureftpd working for now | 13:46 |
| katzenjammer | i hope you can help me | 13:46 |
| katzenjammer | i booted up my ubuntu, shutted down last evening | 13:46 |
| katzenjammer | and i found it with sound not working | 13:46 |
| Xman | Dr_willis: can u tell the solution to the problem | 13:47 |
| katzenjammer | i get "no Gstreamer plugin" message if i try to open the volume control | 13:47 |
| Pici | Xman: I believe you can supply multiple .deb packages in your dpkg -i command: like dpkg -i file.deb depend.deb depend2.deb etc. | 13:47 |
| tomasso | fx|RabBit, your hardware does not need restricted drivers | 13:47 |
| fx|RabBit | tomasso: no nvidia-settings then gg | 13:48 |
| fx|RabBit | ok | 13:48 |
| Xman | Pici: but i want to install a single package only | 13:48 |
| Xman | Pici: and that is win | 13:48 |
| fx|RabBit | tomasso: do you know the specs of that monitor? like hsync and vrefresh? | 13:48 |
| twosouls82 | I have made a directory suid using "o+s", why doesn't a newly created file in this directory belong to the owner? | 13:48 |
| fx|RabBit | twosouls82: chmod -R the directory that should do the job | 13:49 |
| Pici | Xman: I thought you said that you had a script that downloaded the needed dependencies? Seems that isnt the case. | 13:49 |
| Dr_willis | Xman, you need to install the dendeies for a program at the same time. Thats what the pakcage manager tools are designed for. Why are you downlioading specific debs? sudo apt-get install wine SHOULD install wine for you | 13:49 |
| bod_ | bazhang, u here? | 13:49 |

| luca__ | printers function, and the files are not empty, as I can print them with Acrobat Reader | 13:58 |
| sofiankrt | kaushal: if everything else fails, you can buy and adapter (they aren't too expensive) and use it with ubuntu quite easily | 13:58 |
| danand_ | xukun - you need to install msttcorefonts i think | 13:58 |
| sofiankrt | kaushal: now, the second option | 13:58 |
| k2r | no is in ubuntu, is a program with programmer | 13:58 |
| danand_ | xukun - sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 13:58 |
| k2r | no is in ubuntu, is a program for programmers | 13:58 |

| sofiankrt | donkey: you sure you install ndiswrapper-utils? | 14:48 |
| bazhang | lollo you need to install compizconfig-settings-manager | 14:48 |

| LoLLo | guys to have the cube effect i must install only compiz ? ? ? ? --- i've ubuntu 7.10 and with the max graphical options it doesn't work | 14:49 |
| donkey | sofiankrt: do you think its because i dont have system tools? | 14:49 |

| katzenjammer | bazhang, Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP61 High Definition Audio (rev a2) (it should be a realtek integrated one) | 14:51 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: with amarok or rhythm box or what | 14:51 |
| sofiankrt | Fiskejohn: I never tried an ipod on linux, but I've heard that Amarok handles it pretty well, you can get it by sudo apt-get install amarok | 14:51 |
| donkey | sofiankrt: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57330/ | 14:51 |
| bazhang | katzenjammer: is is possible there are two sound cards on that system--that one and the realtek? | 14:52 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Ive installed Amarok and it was syncing and useing my ipods capacility but there were no songs on it? | 14:52 |
| Stoffer | Fiskejohn, other apps that are supposed to work with ipods are gtkpod and rhythmbox, but imo they don't work very well, so try amarok first | 14:52 |
| LoLLo | bazhang ok, now it's all activated by default or i must change some settings ? | 14:52 |
| Fiskejohn | sofiankrt: I have Amarok :) | 14:52 |

| Fiskejohn | sofiankrt: Well you have a point, but its just becouse i want this ipod to work you know ? | 14:55 |
| donkey | ok | 14:55 |
| Sarge | i made a mistake with the resolution, and saved it, now i can't boot into it, my monitor won't support that resolution | 14:55 |

| Fiskejohn | But well does anyone know how to put songs into my ipod, and make them playable :) My problem is i can't see the songs but they are useing my capacility | 14:56 |
| sofiankrt | donkey: ok, now go back to synaptic, and check that ndiswrapper-utils is installed | 14:56 |
| Stoffer | but I should hit "yes" for "Force rewrite" too? | 14:56 |
| Notscape | Sarge: log in a virtual console ! | 14:56 |
| sofiankrt | Fiskejohn: your songs are of which format? | 14:56 |
| Fiskejohn | sofiankrt: mp3 files | 14:56 |
| SargeXP | i try and change the files from kboot, but i get "Read-Only File System" | 14:57 |

| donkey | sofiankrt: yes its installed | 14:57 |
| SargeXP | may somebody help me with this issue, please ? | 14:57 |
| bazhang | katzenjammer: and which one did you choose? | 14:57 |
| sofiankrt | donkey: I've one last idea. go to system > preferences > main menu | 14:57 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah i did mount my ipod correctly and it is adding songs to my ipod. But i can't find them when iam on my ipod. | 14:58 |
| katzenjammer | bazhang, i had the possibility to choose one or the other withoud problems. all worked in both cases | 14:58 |
| donkey | sofiankrt, ok | 14:58 |
| sofiankrt | SargeXP: in which directories are these files? | 14:58 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: if i browse the ipod via system i can see all the songs are in ipod_Control | 14:58 |
| katzenjammer | bazhang, now i cant open the volume control gui anymore | 14:58 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: you transferred them how? by putting them in the transfer list? and then hitting transfer? | 14:58 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah exacly | 14:59 |

| sofiankrt | donkey: now go all the way down to administration (check system, if it's unchecked) | 14:59 |
| sofiankrt | SargeXP: ok, can you ls -l these directories in the terminal, please? | 14:59 |
| SargeXP | one second | 14:59 |
| donkey | im at administration what exactly do you want to know if it is checked? | 14:59 |
| bazhang | katzenjammer: can you get back to that choice and choose the other option | 15:00 |
| danand_ | xukun - you can do a simulation of apt-get install ie sudo apt-get -s install ubuntu-restricted-extras. This should show you the packages that would be installed by that command | 15:00 |
| donkey | sofiankrt: cause everything is check in it | 15:00 |
| katzenjammer | bazhang, no, cause i cant open the panel | 15:00 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about screensaver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:01 |
| Administrator__ | if i want to be able to upgrade to (instead of freshly install) future ubuntu versions, | 15:01 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah exacly | 15:01 |
| Administrator__ | should i download the default iso or the Alternate ISO? | 15:01 |
| Andycasss | When i try to upload to my pure-ftpd server the speed drops to 0 after every 2-3 seconds. Im inside LAN so speeds should be 20 mbps, but instead i upload 60kb/s????? Im using -E -j -A -I 5 -4 -p 1500:2000 arguments | 15:01 |
| donkey | sofiankrt: still dont see thazT | 15:01 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: and when you turn on your ipod you have zero songs on it--is that correct | 15:01 |
| robn | both end in the same result, Administrator__ | 15:01 |
| danand_ | xukun - np | 15:01 |
| sofiankrt | donkey: sorry, I have no idea | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Administrator__: what hardware do you have? | 15:02 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Thats correct, i can't browse my songs on my ipod | 15:02 |
| bazhang | Administrator__: depends on your system really | 15:02 |
| j_ | is there a progrqam to use iso like daemon tool? | 15:02 |
| Administrator__ | pc | 15:02 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: and you read that link I gave you earlier I suppose | 15:02 |
| donkey | can we ask someone else? | 15:02 |
| katzenjammer | bazhang, right click menu pops up, but if i click "open volume control" it gives "No GStreamer plugin or volume control disp found" | 15:02 |
| SargeXP | ok, they are both, -rw-r--r-- | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Administrator__: If you dont mind a text based installer and dont need to try and run a livecd for evaluation.. the alt would be my choice | 15:02 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah the wiki link? | 15:02 |
| bazhang | j_: use iso--mount view write or what | 15:03 |
| robn | j_: you want to mount the iso? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: yeah did you read the wiki | 15:03 |
| j_ | robn yea | 15:03 |
| Administrator__ | i also have a problem with the vmlinuz running from grub | 15:03 |
| sofiankrt | donkey: maybe someone in this channel knows | 15:03 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah i did | 15:03 |
| Administrator__ | when ubuntu's hd-media installer "vmlinuz" is detecting my hard disks, | 15:03 |
| robn | j_: mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test <-----obviously tweak it for your filenames/needs | 15:03 |
| Administrator__ | it always say "float point overflow" | 15:03 |
| sofiankrt | SargeXP: I don't know if this will help, but try to cd these directories then chmod 755 * | 15:03 |
| donkey | i have a question. I put UBUNTU on my computer (sony vaio) and i have the wireless internet. Whenever i resart my computer i always have to go to System>Admin>Network and change the Manual configuration to WPA2 Personal where it says Password type..... Is there any way i can get it where i dont have to do that anymore??? | 15:03 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: this is very odd--I have several models of ipod including that one and they all work with ubuntu gutsy | 15:04 |
| SargeXP | ok, let me try. | 15:04 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Upgrading to at least libgpod 0.6.0 may solve your problems. Otherwise, have a look at the Gtkpod wiki or follow these steps | 15:04 |
| sofiankrt | SargeXP: actually, it's sudo chmod 755 * | 15:04 |
| krim | donkey: Did you try searching for the name of your laptop on the Ubuntu forums? | 15:04 |
| bazhang | donkey: you dont want to add the password--too much trouble is that it | 15:04 |
| * jamesrdorn turns on his metallica Black album DVD w/ full 5.1 surround | 15:04 | |
| sofiankrt | ***testing | 15:05 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: I have downloadet libgpod form source forge, but i don't know how to install. Do you think libgpod is a requrement ? | 15:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: Are you running under wubi ? | 15:05 |
| sofiankrt | how do you do this: ***jamesrdorn turns on his metallica Black album DVD w/ full 5.1 surround | 15:05 |
| donkey | bazhang, i didnt add the password it just asks password type and if i do WPA Personal it doesnt work but when i do WPA2 Personal it does | 15:05 |
| donkey | Jack, wubi? | 15:06 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: not sure as I have never had to follow that wiki--by the time I started using the ipods with ubuntu gutsy it was already fixed | 15:06 |
| jamesrdorn | sofiankrt: find a site for irc commands... that one happend to be "/me turns on his...." | 15:06 |
| donkey | krim. no i havent what is the link please? | 15:06 |
| different_realit | i did some modules update a guy told me in #alsa so that i could see some options of alsamix but now I cannot boot :x | 15:06 |
| robn | j_, i beleive there is also some software to do it called AcetoneISO or something | 15:06 |
| * sofiankrt likey! | 15:06 | |
| bazhang | donkey and the problem is you dont want to use wpa2 is that it | 15:06 |
| sofiankrt | cool! | 15:06 |
| sofiankrt | ok, I really have to go | 15:06 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: So you don't know what i can do ? | 15:06 |
| katzenjammer | bazhang, maybe i should re-install ubuntu? :( | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: Yes.. wubi as in not a normal hard drive install. | 15:06 |
| SargeXP | It tells me that all the files are of Read-Only File System | 15:06 |
| sofiankrt | sorry SargeXP, try to change the user to your username, and the group to your group | 15:07 |
| j_ | robn can i find that in add/remove | 15:07 |
| donkey | no its that when i restart my computer i have to reconfigure my wirless for it to work | 15:07 |
| sofiankrt | SargeXP: and make sure you're working on ext3 | 15:07 |
| sofiankrt | but I got to go | 15:07 |
| donkey | jack. how do i tell if its wubi | 15:07 |
| bazhang | katzenjammer: nah that is likely not necessary--there are some actual people who know things about sound--just not me ;[ | 15:07 |
| krim | donkey: ubuntuforums.org or you could search from google by doing site:ubuntuforums.org yourlaptop yourproblem. Chances are someone has had the same problem so the solution might be there. Good luck | 15:07 |
| * danand_ has been wondering about that too | 15:07 | |

| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: That answered my question thanks | 15:17 |
| robn | j_, now when you open the folder /media/isomount you should see the contents of the cd | 15:17 |
| Flannel | Toooommi: yes (not that I know how), check in the server configuration. | 15:18 |
| Toooommi | okay. thanks | 15:18 |

| eichhoernchen | hey ..i am a linux noob^^ so pls help me :) ..how can i install grub with the ubuntu live cd? | 15:19 |
| Flannel | !grub | eichhoernchen, first link | 15:19 |
| ubotu | eichhoernchen, first link: 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 | 15:19 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: sorry about that--been a while since I synched my iPod ;] ; over the left window there should be a window that shows collections, devices, etc--do you see that? | 15:19 |
| donkey | Jack. so what do you think the problem is | 15:19 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah i see :) | 15:19 |
| robn | j_, no probs, have fun | 15:19 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: and what does that window say when you are in the devices for your iPod | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: I came in late, didnt see the entire problem, something about encryption.. on wireless | 15:20 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Media Decive Browser | 15:20 |
| bazhang | Jack_Sparrow: he wants not to reconfigure the wpa2 every time he connects | 15:20 |
| Indizierter | hallo | 15:21 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Configure you media device and then click the connect button to accses you media device. drag an drop bla bla bla | 15:21 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: now go into settings and configure amarok | 15:21 |
| donkey | well the whole thing is that when i try to use my wireless card after a reboot i have to go to the network preferences and change my wireless to WPA2 Personal (where it asks what type of password even though i dont have one) | 15:21 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: I am there | 15:21 |
| Indizierter | redet jemand deutsch a | 15:21 |
| donkey | and also not sure if it matters i dont have the Blue bars i have 2 computers showing as my connection icon | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: I dont do much in wireless, the couple I have are locked to specific mac addresses. | 15:22 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: you need to correctly have amarok list the device or the songs will not show in the iPod as having been transferred--yours should be ipod (color) 80G classic | 15:22 |
| zarnick | hello all, I need some help in adding the ubuntu box in a windows AD | 15:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: no network manager? | 15:22 |
| donkey | oh alright well i guess i will just have to do it like that | 15:22 |
| donkey | what you mean | 15:22 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: So how do i set amarok to detect my Ipod ? Or can i set it ? | 15:23 |
| zarnick | I'm following this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto , but I get stuck on the problem that says No logon server error | 15:23 |
| zarnick | altough fixing like it says on the tutorial, doesn't help | 15:23 |
| henky | hi guys | 15:23 |
| zarnick | can someone help me? | 15:24 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: try this--safely remove your ipod--quit amarok then open amarok once more and connect the ipod mounting it via desktop or the way you normally do then identify it again | 15:24 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Ok | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | donkey: USe synaptic to see if you have network-manager installed and one other question did you install wifi radar... if not... dont | 15:24 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: and this is the crucial bit--it has to be the model you have or the songs will not show in the iPod | 15:25 |
| donkey | nope didnt install wifi radar | 15:25 |

| bazhang | Fiskejohn: please do ;] | 15:32 |

| kallepersson | Hi, while trying to record with Xvidcap, I get a loud audio noise... does anyone know why? | 15:36 |
| burkmat | I'm pretty sure all the files scattered across my system ending in "~" are temp files created when I'm for instance editing a file (please, correct me if I'm wrong) > The problem seems to be that I keep dropping these all over the place. Is this due to terminating my processes in an ugly manner or is there something I can do about it? | 15:36 |
| kallepersson | the recording points to /dev/dsp | 15:36 |

| ubotu | willfrand: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 15:39 |
| linuxnut | alc861: You can just type your text into one line. | 15:39 |
| alc861 | 2.6.22-14-generic | 15:39 |
| willfrand | oh, here is in english, sorry | 15:39 |
| linuxnut | alc861: And what's your sound card | 15:39 |

| alc861 | alc861 | 15:39 |
| storm-zen | what is the best way to switch to xscreensaver? | 15:39 |
| storm-zen | ( preferably without uninstalling ubuntu-desktop, if that's still an issue in gutsy. ) | 15:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | x-fak: first option in your grub list is 0 which is the default.. move what you want to the lop of the list or change 0 to the option you want as default | 15:40 |
| alc861 | i also tried from the ubuntu lenovo howto | 15:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !enter | alc861 | 15:40 |
| ubotu | alc861: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 15:40 |
| x-fak | ok thank Jack_Sparrow | 15:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 15:41 |
| alc861 | sorry i type enter everytime auto | 15:41 |
| linuxnut | alc861: Your problem may lie in some module breaking with the 2.6.22 kernel | 15:41 |
| alc861 | should i install a new kernel or an older one? | 15:41 |
| linuxnut | alc861: Hold up. Did sound ever work with ubuntu? | 15:41 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Well at the main window above devices it says Ipod at /dev/sdb1 (Mounted at /media/IPOD)baz | 15:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alc861: try /j #alsa they are good at fixing those | 15:42 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> is xscreensaver installed on yours? | 15:42 |
| alc861 | it has never worked, its a fresh install | 15:42 |
| linuxnut | alc861: I mean with fiesty or any older version of ubuntu? | 15:42 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Yes, I installed it. | 15:42 |
| alc861 | don`t know | 15:42 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> and what is the issue? | 15:42 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Is there a way to get it to run automatically? | 15:42 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: just a moment please--reading a long thread at ubuntuforums on this.. | 15:42 |
| ararat | hi all | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | alc861: did you do the sound troubleshooting page or the intelhda help page if it is hda | 15:43 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Well, the issue was that gnome screensaver was being used, but now that it's uninstalled, I don't think it's going to be an issue anymore. :) | 15:43 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> xscreensaver-command -activate to test it, xscreeensaver & to run it in background | 15:43 |
| alc861 | Jack_Sparrow: yes i do there is a page for my lenovo laptop which i tried | 15:43 |
| linuxnut | alc861: Alright. does this look similar to your problem? | 15:44 |
| linuxnut | alc861: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/139814 | 15:44 |
| storm-zen | amenado: I was also reading a thread that seemed to suggest that uninstalling it could take away ubuntu-desktop, but that didn't happen when I tried it, so no harm, no foul. | 15:44 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Thanks alot :) Sorry to disturb :D | 15:44 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Thanks again. | 15:44 |
| linuxnut | alc861: Actually, : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/148978 | 15:44 |
| alc861 | yes it does | 15:44 |
| nixnoob | how can i determine the max texture size of a video card? | 15:45 |
| cnStarz | Jack_Sparrow: i tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org" and it said that xserver-org was not installed | 15:45 |
| linuxnut | alc861: Alright. Like I said it looks like the kernel broke the module. Follow the steps taken on those two bug report pages and see if it works. | 15:45 |
| iooooor | How do I install apache2 on my ubuntu VPS? | 15:45 |
| linuxnut | cnStarz: xserver-xorg | 15:45 |
| x-fak | another question , do you know why vlc software is not setting the 5.1 sound on DVDs by default, instead of this, it's setting "stereo" ? | 15:45 |
| cnStarz | OHHHHH | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cnStarz: xserver-xorg | 15:45 |
| cnStarz | LOL ok, thanks | 15:46 |
| cnStarz | im an idiot | 15:46 |
| linuxnut | cnStarz: heh, happens. | 15:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np.. write it down, it wont be the last time you use that command | 15:46 |

| norty | Is there an option to only report errors, not warnings, when compiling with gcc? | 15:46 |
| linuxnut | x-fak: That might be a question for #vlc, not #ubuntu | 15:46 |
| ivan__ | where can i get help for my compiz?? | 15:47 |
| linuxnut | norty: You could send the output to a log file | 15:47 |
| x-fak | i supposed it has to do with the alsa sound configuration, i dont know | 15:47 |
| norty | yes but i want the errors reported to the terminal | 15:47 |
| norty | only errors, not warnings | 15:47 |
| linuxnut | norty: foo 2&> error.log | 15:47 |
| amenado | norty what options do you currently use now? | 15:47 |
| hischild | good day ... i need a pointer on how to get dual head working :-) | 15:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dualhead | 15:48 |
| ubotu | Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama | 15:48 |
| hischild | ty | 15:48 |
| linuxnut | x-fak: I dunno about that. It autos to stereo for me, too. Not a big deal though, just have to set it to 5.1 | 15:48 |
| LjL | norty: -w | 15:48 |
| norty | amenado, i dont use any options | 15:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ivan__: what is the problem.. see also /j #Compiz | 15:48 |
| norty | LjL, thanks! | 15:49 |
| linuxnut | LjL: Is that a universal command or program specific? | 15:49 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Ok.. Maybe a slight issue. Just have two choices for screensavers. Did I do something wrong? | 15:49 |
| LjL | linuxnut: uh? it's a GCC option... most programs don't have a concept of "warnings" to begin with | 15:49 |
| linuxnut | LjL: My bad. I missed the GCC bit somehow. | 15:50 |
| LjL | norty: unasked for advice: warnings shouldn't be ignored. your code should not result in warnings being issue to begin with | 15:50 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> i dont understand... did you look if it is use /usr/share/backgrounds ? | 15:50 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Now I don't understand. But I'll look in /usr/share/backgrounds. ( The two screensaver options I have are HyperTorus and XMatrix ). | 15:51 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: first of all, lets try one more thing--try transferring over some music that is not there yet | 15:51 |

| bazhang | !info libgpod | 15:52 |
| ubotu | Package libgpod does not exist in gutsy | 15:52 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> look around under advance if there are settings where it can point to a directory of your background jpegs | 15:52 |
| squarebracket | is there a way to port scan only a specific range? | 15:52 |
| bazhang | !find libgpod | 15:53 |
| ubotu | Found: libgpod-dev, libgpod2, libgpod-common | 15:53 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Okay its done :) | 15:53 |
| ivan__ | Jack_Sparrow, i cant see my window borders i can only use the metacity and everything was working fine 2 days ago | 15:53 |
| bazhang | !info libgpod2 | 15:53 |
| ubotu | libgpod2 (source: libgpod): a library to read and write songs and artwork to an iPod. In component main, is optional. Version 0.5.2-2 (gutsy), package size 177 kB, installed size 376 kB | 15:53 |
| storm-zen | amenado: That will increase the number of screensavers? ( I'm not sure that I'm effectively communicating my issue. ) | 15:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ivan__: So you just lost the window decorator.. dont fret.. | 15:53 |
| _Oz_ | bruum: it's unlikely that ubuntu has anything to do with your d/l speed | 15:54 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: now disconnect the ipod safely and see if it shows up--then we have some other stuff to do if not | 15:54 |
| _Oz_ | bruum: it is more likely that network conditions changed since you installed | 15:54 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> maybe i am not following your issue | 15:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | compiz | 15:54 |
| bazhang | or compiz --replace ;] | 15:54 |
| LjL | arschknacker1: could you stop that? thanks | 15:55 |
| storm-zen | amenado: Ok. Xscreensaver usually has 50+ screensavers to choose from. It has 2 right now, though I installed both data packages I found in synaptic. | 15:55 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: The music still dont apper, but again it use my capacility :( | 15:55 |

| Algalord | hello | 15:56 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: aha--that is what I feared--well the libgpod in gutsy is too old--we need the 0.6.0 and gutsy only has 0.5.2-2 | 15:56 |
| amenado | storm-zen-> i suggest peek under the advance radio button, and it may show you where it gets those 50+ screensavers | 15:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bruum: It may have to do with how well your network card is supported in linux.. what card is it? | 15:56 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: So what i do? | 15:56 |
| Bruum | Jack_Sparrow, : its linksys pci "rt2500" | 15:57 |

| Gigamo | I will repeat my question then: I have windows installed on sda1 (it was installed first) and my buntu root partition is sda2. Now I want to remove windows, but I fear that I will not be able to boot grub anymore when I do so (even if grub is on the / partition). In GParted, sda1 has a Flag saying "boot" | 16:20 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: and i guess the next again :D ? | 16:21 |
| neeto | steven_: in xfce, it's under Settings>User Interface Settings | 16:21 |

| Fiskejohn | bazhang: hehe :D | 16:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | I'd read that if you mv /etc/event.d tty2 tty2.bak this was how you disabled extra tty's in gutsy... but here I see them listed with PIDs when I look at ps ax... so how do you really disable them? | 16:21 |
| geoff__ | Gigamo, dont fear just use the live cd to reinstall grub | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | Gigamo: if grub is installed on mbr (and if sda1 is marked as boot it is) there is no problem | 16:21 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Okay it did do something i can choose these things: Now type 'make' to build libgpod 0.6.0, | 16:22 |
| Fiskejohn | and then 'make install' for installation. | 16:22 |
| Gigamo | erUSUL: but if i remove sda1 and thus the mbr... | 16:22 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: yes and yes | 16:22 |
| erUSUL | Jack_Sparrow: you call yourself ;) | 16:22 |

| Fiskejohn | bazhang: I did type in "Make" do i also have to type in "Make install" ? | 16:24 |
| steven_ | neeto: ok one sec | 16:24 |

| CorruptTerrorist | MasterShrak, but i fear that grub may not work AT ALL... so can i use the windows disk to restore the windows bootloader? | 16:51 |
| _Oz_ | corruptterrorirst: it's recommended to stick with GRUB for your bootloader. GRUB respects the windows install you have. It is very difficult to convince your windows bootloader that you have any OS other than a Microsoft product. | 16:52 |
| |Dreams| | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57351/ | 16:52 |
| dmoore | answer my question | 16:52 |
| Slart | _Oz_: windows comes with a lot of drivers for usb stuff.. ubuntu doesn't come with as many drivers.. I don't think plug'n'play helps you with the drivers part | 16:52 |
| MasterShrak | CorruptTerrorist yes, put it in like you were going to install, and enter the recovery console, when you get to a command prompt type: fixmbr | 16:52 |

| bazhang | Fiskejohn: sorry had to step away for a minute--well lets try it out | 17:00 |
| OldPink | What would you recommend as a good web design application for Ubuntu? | 17:00 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Okay :) | 17:01 |
| MurielGodoi | Slart: I have an Pavillion 9035nr with 2 HD 80Gb each. Do you know if it supports raid by hardware? I've been using linux during 3 years, but I am new in raid issues | 17:01 |
| Orangetea | MasterShrak i think it was 22 | 17:01 |
| Whatever | Anyone: The drive filesystem Gutsy, what is that for? | 17:01 |
| element | hi everyone | 17:01 |
| |Dreams| | i just removed the problem files in the folder sources.list.d and it seems to have solved it | 17:01 |
| |Dreams| | thanks very much shark | 17:01 |
| |Dreams| | shrak* | 17:01 |
| MasterShrak | Orangetea have you tried the different options, like recovery mode and such? | 17:02 |
| mandana__ | Hi, I am using Ubuntu on my desktop, using wired connection to Internet (on eth0). the problem is sometimes when I trunon my machine, I have to run "sudo dhclient eth0" to get connected to the Internet. How to fix this? | 17:02 |
| MasterShrak | no prob |Dreams| | 17:02 |
| element | i cant change my display picture in the amsn 0.95, when i wanna change it, my gnome always is rebooting....do u know why? | 17:02 |
| Slart | MurielGodoi: I doubt it.. that's like asking if your car might be a porsche... if it was you'd know because you'd be the one paying for it =) | 17:02 |
| storm-zen | Ok. I've been searching for the screensaver binaries in Gutsy. ( Not the gnome-screensaver itself, but the actual binaries that run as screensavers, so that I can use them with xscreensaver. ) -- where are they? | 17:02 |
| mibuk | I would like to create a package that not only wraps up a commercial application we want deployed to our linux workstations, but needs to update the default /etc/bash.bashrc to source an environment variable setup script. Whats the best way of doing this. obviously simply packaging a replacement bash.bashrc would be bad as someone may have customised it | 17:02 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: from reading ubuntuforums if this does not work (I hope we have the path right) then we need to sudo make install instead of checkinstall | 17:02 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: The link :D ? Something like this?: ln -s /home/anton/Skrivebord/Rod/libgpod-0.6.0 /usr/lib/libgpod-0.6.0.so.2 ? | 17:02 |
| element | i cant change my display picture in the amsn 0.95, when i wanna change it, my gnome always is rebooting....do u know why? | 17:02 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: arh okay :) | 17:03 |
| Orangetea | MasterShrak it won't allow me.. it just boot to grub and states the error 22 | 17:03 |
| DRebellion | mibuk, echo "export VAR=FOO" >> /etc/bash.bashrc ??? | 17:03 |
| Whatever | What is the purpose of the drive file syste,? | 17:03 |
| mateusz | MasterShrak: Noting about gnome icons there | 17:03 |
| OldPink | What would you recommend as a good web design application for Ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| mibuk | DRebellion, seems a bit hacky | 17:04 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Should i try type into the link :D ? | 17:04 |
| Kira | It seems like I'm missing something in the configuration of proftpd. | 17:04 |
| MasterShrak | Orangetea have you messed with your kernel or anything? thats quite an error | 17:04 |
| Slart | MurielGodoi: when it comes to raid there are three kinds.. real raid - costs money but is fast and reliable, fakeraid - the kind many motherboards have built in.. still does most of the processing in the cpu so it doesn't give you any extra speed or reliability.. stay away from these, Software raid - everything is done in cpu.. no speed gain but works on all computers without extra hardware... perfect for your home server and such | 17:04 |
| Orangetea | MasterShrak i was trying out 8.04 on other hard drive on ntfs | 17:05 |
| DRebellion | mibuk, meh | 17:05 |
| MasterShrak | !hardy | Orangetea | 17:05 |
| Kira | I installed proftpd through Synaptic. I was asked if I wanted a stand-alone daemon or if I wanted proftpd to be started by inetd. I chose inetd. What's next? Why doesn't my Gutsy box seem to be listening to port 21? | 17:05 |
| Orangetea | MasterShrak but then some how that doesn't work then it mess the 7.10 | 17:05 |
| ubotu | Orangetea: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 17:05 |
| MasterShrak | Kira is it behind a firewall or router/ | 17:05 |
| storm-zen | nevermind. Think I might have found it. | 17:06 |
| lkthomas2 | hey guys | 17:06 |
| lkthomas2 | how could I know what version of ubuntu am I running ? | 17:06 |
| dumasymptote | how do i pull up the desktop cube in compiz? | 17:06 |
| Kira | MasterShrak: no iptable has been set, and I'm testing ftp within my home network (I do know how to forward ports on my router anyway). | 17:06 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: lets give it a shot! | 17:06 |
| sieg | hello | 17:06 |
| DRebellion | !version | lkthomas2 | 17:06 |
| ubotu | lkthomas2: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 17:06 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Okay i type the link now :D | 17:06 |
| dumasymptote | how do i pull up the desktop cube in compiz? | 17:06 |
| MasterShrak | Orangetea im guessing when you installed hardy it messed up your gutsy kernels and such, youll probably have to reinstall the kernel packages from a chroot | 17:07 |
| sieg | anyone willing to give some help on setting up a web cam | 17:07 |
| sieg | I have a logitech | 17:07 |
| lkthomas2 | thanks | 17:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dumasymptote: You need to set it up in ccsm first | 17:07 |
| MasterShrak | Kira hmm, im not sure then, check in /etc/proftpd.conf ( i think thats the name of the file ) and make sure its listening on 21 | 17:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dumasymptote: system pref advanced desktop | 17:07 |
| mandana__ | Hi, I am using Ubuntu on my desktop, using wired connection to Internet (on eth0). the problem is sometimes when I trunon my machine, I have to run "sudo dhclient eth0" to get connected to the Internet. How to fix this? (sorry to repeat, I was disconnected) | 17:07 |
| sieg | thought I would try Ububtu since all others have web cam problems | 17:08 |
| Slart | dumasymptote: try not repeating your question so often.. once every 5 minutes is enough... use the time to google for solutions.. include error messages and such in your question.. tell us what you've tried so far etc etc.. a good questions almost always gets an answer.. bad questions with to little information etc might just be ignored | 17:08 |
| ni1s | Kira: a lighter and more easily configured ftp server like vsftp would probably suit you better | 17:08 |
| GAZEL | Hi, i have a ACPI problem with installation. | 17:08 |
| GAZEL | PCI: BIOS bug:MCFG area at f000000 is not | 17:09 |

| ubotu | GAZEL: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lines 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 channel topic) | 17:09 |
| chrismurf | anybody know of a good repository for the latest NVIDIA binary drivers under gutsy? | 17:09 |
| erUSUL | GAZEL: that's a harmless error afaik | 17:09 |
| heymr | GAZEL, also nopaste | 17:09 |
| dumasymptote | ok well i enabled the desktop cube in compiz but im not sure what keys or button combinations i use to pull the cube up | 17:09 |
| OldPink | What would you recommend as a good web design application for Ubuntu?. | 17:09 |
| MasterShrak | yea that doesnt look bad GAZEL | 17:09 |
| GAZEL | erUSUL: its very harmless in fact :) | 17:09 |
| MasterShrak | dumasymptote hold ctrl+alt and click and hold | 17:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dumasymptote: I just gave them to you | 17:10 |
| heymr | dumasymptote, Ctrl Alt right? | 17:10 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: you have used sudo before? | 17:10 |
| GAZEL | harmless* = its very annoying* | 17:10 |
| MasterShrak | dumasymptote or hold ctrl+alt and use left/right arrows | 17:10 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Ohh now it says this: File exists | 17:10 |
| GAZEL | erUSUL: the installation doesnt continues. | 17:10 |
| dumasymptote | thanks guys that rocks | 17:10 |
| MasterShrak | GAZEL if you get annoyed by that, you probably shouldnt be using linux | 17:10 |
| danand | dumasymptote - see http://ulyssesonline.com/2007/10/25/compiz-fusion-keyboard-shortcuts/ | 17:10 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhing: What you mean by useing sudo before? I guess i suck at it :D ? | 17:10 |
| MasterShrak | oh, well if the installation doesnt continue that may be a different story, but i doubt its because of that | 17:10 |
| GAZEL | MasterShrak: thanks for your suggestion, but I'll use Linux. | 17:10 |
| erUSUL | GAZEL: i was talking about this PCI: BIOS bug:MCFG area at f000000 is not E820-reserved PCI: Not using MMCONFIG becouse i have it mayself | 17:11 |
| erUSUL | GAZEL: you can try booting with noapic boot option | 17:11 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: I mean this is the first time to sudo? | 17:11 |
| Kira | ni1s: I want to be lazy and use an ftpd that can be managed through Webmin. :P | 17:11 |
| erUSUL | !boot | GAZEL | 17:11 |

| GAZEL | erUSUL : i tried. | 17:11 |
| CorruptTerrorist | how big should i make the swap partitions? | 17:11 |
| Kira | (Webmin without customisation, that is) | 17:11 |
| dumasymptote | can somebody tell me how i enable more than 2 workspaces/desktops? | 17:11 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Yeah i guess i never did something in the terminal before :D | 17:11 |
| GAZEL | erUSUL: noapic and quiet are selected but problem still persist. | 17:11 |
| erUSUL | !webmin | 17:11 |
| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 17:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CorruptTerrorist: 2 gig | 17:11 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, how big is your ram? | 17:11 |
| CorruptTerrorist | heymr, 4gb | 17:12 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: no worries--we all start from there ;] | 17:12 |
| Gigamo | erUSUL: just one last question, the partition si now removed, but when I reboot and JUST IN CASE it doesnt boot, how should I reinstall grub from the livecd? | 17:12 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, do you plan to make multiple? | 17:12 |
| Kira | erm... omfg | 17:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dumasymptote: back to ccsm | 17:12 |
| Kira | !ebox | 17:12 |

| quaal | standard ram these days is about 4" | 17:12 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: it seems that those instructions did not work but we can definitely get this going | 17:12 |
| Whitor | What is software that I can use to use my webcam ... (see if its working... ?) | 17:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dumasymptote: general options... desktop size and top to bottom 4 1 1 | 17:13 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: How :D ? | 17:13 |
| a[2121]e | !emerald | 17:13 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about emerald - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:13 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: do you need to take a break? | 17:13 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, 1.5 gigs should be fine.. with so much RAM a big swap is not so neccesary. booting wants ram, not swap | 17:13 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Na only if you do :D :D | 17:13 |

| Falgor_ | how do I destroy ubuntu from my HD? | 17:13 |
| ejer | CorruptTerrorist: if you plan on suspending you need enuff swap to hold ram + abit more | 17:13 |
| Whitor | DRebellion, thanks ... I didn't know mplayer could do that ! | 17:13 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, they say double. for me i have a gig, and 512 ram | 17:13 |
| Falgor_ | I seem to be unable to install windows 2000. | 17:13 |
| DRebellion | Whitor, mplayer tv:// -tv options | 17:14 |
| MurielGodoi | Slart: I didn' t know that. So there is no speed gain on software raid0? | 17:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Falgor_: Install anything you want right over the top | 17:14 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, yeah, what ejer said | 17:14 |
| bazhang | falgor just delete the partition | 17:14 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: Okay :) But i guess you are very tired :D ? | 17:14 |

| ejer | sure CorruptTerrorist if you have room to burn, can't hurt | 17:14 |
| Slart | MurielGodoi: well.. you do spread the writes out on two hard drives.. but I don't think it will be very noticable.. | 17:14 |
| victorribeiro | MasterShrak, like that? | 17:14 |
| CorruptTerrorist | ejer, 400gb hdd | 17:14 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, for me to suspend all i need is a gig | 17:14 |
| MasterShrak | victorribeiro yeap :) | 17:14 |
| victorribeiro | cool | 17:15 |
| victorribeiro | MasterShrak, cool! | 17:15 |
| heymr | ejer, a gig is enough no matter the ram size? | 17:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Falgor_: If you are booting the win2000 cd then it has nothing to do with ubuntu and you should ask in #Windows | 17:15 |
| ejer | CorruptTerrorist: i use a 6GB swap with 4G ram | 17:15 |
| ejer | heymr: not if you want to suspend | 17:15 |
| Slart | MurielGodoi: I use software raid, not for striping but mirroring.. I sleep a little better at night that way =) | 17:15 |
| heymr | CorruptTerrorist, how much hdd space do you want to give up though? | 17:15 |
| Cew27 | hi can anyone tel me the difference between beryl, compiz, compiz fusion and emerald | 17:15 |
| bazhang | http://www.floola.com/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=download check this out Fiskejohn | 17:16 |

| dumasymptote | thanks for all the help | 17:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Falgor_: Cant be the problem | 17:16 |

| Cew27 | hi can anyone tel me the difference between beryl, compiz, compiz fusion and emerald | 17:16 |
| victorribeiro | I've installed my ATI drive with envy, but I cant enable compiz effects anyway,,, could somebody help me? | 17:16 |
| ejer | heymr: if you have 1GB swap and 2GB ram you will not be able to suspend, so yes it depends on ram size | 17:16 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: So i download it for linux :D ? And can i close terminal ? | 17:16 |

| Falgor_ | Jack_Sparrow, I was first asking how I can remove Ubuntu | 17:18 |
| ejer | hi bazhang | 17:18 |
| Falgor_ | or format the whole drive | 17:18 |
| sarah | Greetings. I just installed Ubuntu and I'm having some weird issues. For instance, each time I open the totem media player, my screen flickers to black and then back on again. The beryl zoom function (super+scroll) also affects two areras on the screen, a square in the upper left corner and the rest - completely independently! Anyone ever heard of this? | 17:18 |
| heymr | Falgor_, get gparted live cd. great for formatting | 17:18 |
| erUSUL | ganu: no problem | 17:18 |
| Falgor_ | heymr, no other way? | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | victorribeiro: envy is a really bad thing | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | victorribeiro: To save yourself future headaches... start with a fresh install and come back | 17:19 |
| heymr | sarah, turn off desktop effects and try it. alt f2 and type metacity --replace | 17:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Falgor_: And I told you.. | 17:20 |
| sarah | heymr: Alright, giving that a go. | 17:20 |
| heymr | Falgor_, its the best way. wait... did you install with wubi? ...lol | 17:20 |
| Falgor_ | "Falgor_: Install anything you want right over the top" | 17:20 |
| sarah | heymr: Nope, still flickering. | 17:20 |
| victorribeiro | Jack_Sparrow, man I've been trying everything, not seems to work | 17:20 |
| sarah | Very peculiar. | 17:20 |
| Falgor_ | I tried installing win2k | 17:20 |
| ejer | Falgor_: just reinstall an operating system and delete existing prtitions and let OS make a new one | 17:21 |
| korte1975 | viva la microsoft | 17:21 |

| heymr | sarah, in a terminal: sudo apt-get install vlc | 17:21 |
| korte1975 | windows rules | 17:21 |
| Falgor_ | meh | 17:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Falgor_: Ask in windows, there is no magic hold that Ubuntu has on your hard drive | 17:21 |
| Kira | I'll try to configure ftp again tomorrow | 17:21 |
| leggion | Hello, guys! Need some help with the SCIM; some time ago i've set it up to change the im buy clicking and selecting the im from the list, but don't remember how. What should i do? | 17:21 |
| bazhang | hi ejer! ;] | 17:21 |
| Kira | good night and thanks for the tips | 17:21 |
| heymr | korte1975, you are not in the #microsoft-es channel | 17:21 |
| korte1975 | no i`ve got ubuntu was just joking | 17:21 |
| sprocket | Hi! I wonder how to com in to a terminal from ubuntu graphical install, annybody knows? | 17:21 |
| sarah | heymr: Think it's a totem-specific issue? | 17:21 |
| heymr | sarah, that is a different video player, try it | 17:21 |
| sarah | I know it. :) Giving it a go. | 17:22 |
| Falgor_ | Jack_Sparrow, is there some kinda command line for ubuntu that lets me format the drive (like just after boot)? | 17:22 |
| ejer | sprocket: applications>accessories>terminal ? | 17:22 |
| TimotyP | sprocket: control+alt+f1 | 17:22 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: okay! now unpack the file (right click should do) and then click on the icon | 17:22 |
| heymr | sarah, your saying the whole screen flickers? or just totem...? | 17:22 |
| sarah | heymr: The whole screen. | 17:22 |
| korte1975 | guys do you know why i cannot play dvds under ubuntu? | 17:22 |

| CorruptTerrorist | heymr, i'm willing to give up about 20-50gb | 17:22 |

| ejer | CorruptTerrorist: anything above 1.5x your ram is a waste imo | 17:23 |

| _moro_bana_ | how do i install my webcam on my ubuntu | 17:31 |

| DRebellion | _moro_bana_, how do you know it is not working? | 17:31 |

| kostkon | _moro_bana_, nothing is supposed to happen if you connect a web camera ;) | 17:33 |
| ejer | Squawk: your xorg module is called 'microsoft', and that should be in your xorg config | 17:33 |

| heymr | effie_jayx, xorgconfig in a terminal | 17:34 |

| nickrud | MindSpark: the user is active. That's the key, not shell, or anything else. Try creating a test group, and having two shells open. | 18:17 |

| amenado | hopeless you can install ubuntu and have the minimum / partition mounted, you can use your old swap, your old /home shud be left alone, and once you have an ubuntu running you can always modify /etc/passwd to point to your old /home | 18:19 |

| Odd-rationale | hopeless: You should do that during install. | 18:26 |
| Squawk | scott_, nothing is kept in "the path". Your path is a list of directories in which commands that will run are stored. You can add any directory to your path. I never, ever run a command in linux using double click (unless its something like clicking on an image to open it), but you have complete freedom.

| ArthurArchnix | I run this command in the terminal and I need to use sudo, but if I put the same command in /etc/rc.local will I need to prepend it with sudo? | 18:41 |
| bluefox83 | ejer, yeah, i'm all sorts of surprised | 18:41 |
| Squawk | chocolatewithmin, one application in particular, or any application that can be maximised? | 18:41 |
| Odd-rationale | bazhang: Actually, even in crossover, iTune 7.0 is known not to work. :( | 18:41 |
| ArmyMan007 | I can understand that... | 18:41 |
| ejer | ArthurArchnix: no, it is executed as root | 18:42 |
| kostkon | bluefox83, nice! | 18:42 |
| nickrud | ArmyMan007: useful irc clients colorize lines with the user's nicks, makes it easier for us to follow. | 18:42 |
| isaacj87 | easy question for anyone...I compiled compiz fusion from GIT....how do I check what version I'm running? | 18:42 |
| bluefox83 | hey, all they suggested was resetting the bios, which wont hurt my installation :P | 18:42 |
| hdevalence | twosouls82: thanks! | 18:42 |
| amenado | ArthurArchnix-> nope, since rc.local is already owned by root | 18:42 |
| jgoo | hey all - added a KVM to my machine, it starts in low resolution mode - which is fine. I can select a 1440x900 widescreen option in the generic screen - but whsateer I do it oesn't apply it | 18:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | ejer: Thanks. amenado too slow, but thanks. :) | 18:42 |
| twosouls82 | hdevalence: "apt-cache search mdf | grep iso" ;) | 18:42 |
| bazhang | Odd-rationale: well facts never got in the way before for me ;] | 18:42 |
| Squawk | isaacj87, maybe compiz --version? just a guess, I dont have compiz | 18:42 |
| chocolatewithmin | Squawk, graft: no particular application, every app which use fullscreen mode (such a game, a space explorer...) | 18:42 |
| nickrud | isaacj87: compiz --version , or compiz.real --version | 18:42 |

| ArthurArchnix | !hi | mehrab | 18:43 |
| ubotu | mehrab: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 18:43 |

| nickrud | isaacj87: --version works with nearly any app (sometimes -version) | 18:44 |
| isaacj87 | graft: I had to use "compiz --version" | 18:44 |
| graft | isaacj87: that might just give you the metacity version | 18:44 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: No it was kinda why i changed to linux :) | 18:44 |
| graft | isaacj87: or whatever your selected WM is | 18:44 |
| chocolatewithmin | graft: x driver? don't understand, maybe you're asking for the driver? ati radeon x700 + xgl + compiz | 18:44 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: any windows (arg Vista)? | 18:44 |

| mehrab | nobody knows what should I do? | 18:45 |
| graft | chocolatewithmin: try doing it without compiz running and see what happens | 18:45 |
| Fiskejohn | bazhang: I hate vista more then anything alse :) | 18:45 |
| bazhang | Fiskejohn: then the last path seems to be the first one we took which is to sudo make install instead of checkinstall and see how that turns out | 18:45 |
| chocolatewithmin | Squawk: no, there's no any archive called xorg.con in this directory | 18:45 |

| hopeless | okay, the ubuntu installer is asking me if i want to import my old fedora 5 account. should i let it? what will be the consequences if i do / don't? | 18:53 |
| Squawk | chocolatewithmin, dunno what ubuntu standard is, I only had ubuntu for 3 days (gentoo nut) | 18:53 |
| nickrud | graft: I don't understand why, but his error is saying it should be control-center , but it should be looking in /usr/lib/gnome-control-center | 18:54 |
| Squawk | hopeless, its just settings like firefox book marks and what not | 18:54 |
| userid | Hello all, question regarding my headless server (also posted on forums): I periodically get locked out and cannot access it by vnc or ssh (connection refused, connection timeout). Any ideas what could be blocking the connection? | 18:54 |
| chocolatewithmin | Squawk: ok, but it's a bug or not? | 18:54 |
| tux__ | amenado-> ya it's always happening. Im fairly certain its because i had to do some tweaking of the video settings to get my card to work properly, but im not sure what i did to cause this. | 18:54 |
| mookid | I've installed the desktop onto server, and I restricted drivers wont work. What packages will I need to get this working? | 18:54 |

| graft | mehrab: which no such file or directory? | 18:55 |
| chocolatewithmin | Squawk: ok, will you report this? | 18:55 |
| mehrab | graft: /usr/bin/gnome-setting-daemon | 18:55 |
| amenado | tux__-> right video settings can make it do that...which settings, i dont know myself | 18:56 |
| graft | mehrab: um. and you just did sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-control-center? | 18:56 |
| lindzeyn | Has anyone here had any luck with the Creative OpenSource XFi Drivers w/ Gutsy? | 18:56 |
| Squawk | chocolatewithmin, as I said, I have no clue about ubuntu bug reporting, since its your bug, you need to do it | 18:56 |
| Squawk | chocolatewithmin, dont worry about it, worst that happens is they tell you its not a bug and close it | 18:56 |
| mehrab | graft: yes | 18:56 |
| graft | mehrab: and did it actually reinstall it? | 18:57 |
| tux__ | amenado: alright thanks anyway | 18:57 |
| hopeless | so i chose to import my old fedora account, but now the installer is asking me "who are you?" i assume it wants to set up a new account. but i don't want a new account... i just want the imported one. is there a way to do that? | 18:57 |
| mehrab | graft: yes | 18:57 |
| chocolatewithmin | Squawk: ok, only a thing, if a report this, should I copy entire log? | 18:57 |
| tux__ | i'll keep looking on the forums | 18:57 |
| Squawk | chocolatewithmin, I dunno, there will be a help page associated with the bug report, see what it says | 18:57 |
| graft | mehrab: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list? | 18:58 |
| graft | mehrab: oh wait never mind | 18:58 |

| RoAkSoAx | hopeless: actually u wont, because ubuntu has root desabled by default | 19:00 |
| hopeless | RoAkSoAx: WHAAAT. how do i enable root?! | 19:01 |
| amenado | hopeless yes, it will ask for what password you'd like for root | 19:01 |
| Gigamo | How do I run crossover from the commandline? I mean the configuration center, or launch an app with crossover from the cli. I don't use a DE so I cant select it from a menu. | 19:01 |
| erUSUL | !root | hopeless | 19:01 |
| ubotu | hopeless: 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 | 19:01 |
| erUSUL | !sudo | hopeless | 19:01 |
| ubotu | hopeless: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 19:01 |
| amenado | hopeles rather for the user not root..sowee | 19:01 |

| tux__ | amenado->when i run the command the first time, it appears, but running the command a second time causes a blank screen | 19:03 |

| scott_ | How come when I type "sudo cp Songbird /usr/lib", I get... cp: omitting directory `Songbird'? | 19:17 |
| nickrud | mehrab: those are warnings; I see it's saying you don't have an F13 key, for example. | 19:18 |

| reya276 | I'm thinking of switching, but those big icons are driving me nuts is there a way to make everything look like a normal Gnome size | 19:18 |
| boris__ | reya276: i wouldnt reccomend kde4 for work jet but i think its a personal preference | 19:18 |
| mehrab | nickrud: when I run that command everything get ok, but when I close terminal again the problem appears | 19:18 |
| MasterShrek | boris__, how did you install your ati driver? | 19:18 |
| reya276 | oh not for work, just home PC | 19:18 |
| MasterShrek | reya276, i wouldnt suggest kde4 until 4.1 comes out | 19:18 |
| Frijolie | I'm getting this error message when trying to change the volume on my sound output "Failed to start Volume Control: Failed to execute child process 'gnome-volume-control' (No such file or direcotry)" | 19:19 |
| Sam_Sam | hello | 19:19 |
| tho | scott_: Songbird is probably a directory. Use cp -R instead. | 19:19 |
| Frijolie | anyone know how to fix that? | 19:19 |

| Viden | Hello, I am having an issue with dual screen / dual xsession setup. I need links i click on screen 2 to open on screen 1. How is this possible? | 19:19 |

| Marbug | whats a nice program to extract audio cd's in mp3 ? | 19:19 |
| MasterShrek | reya276, i havent used it too much, but its still quite buggy afaik | 19:19 |
| boris__ | MasterShrek: it came with ubuntu. I got Radeon driver. I just added "Option" "AIGLX" "True" to xorg.conf | 19:19 |
| MasterShrek | Marbug, soundjuicer | 19:19 |
| L3ttuc3 | by the way... nickrud i have a mac keyboard hooked to a pc laptop - how would i go about mapping the f13 key to print scn? | 19:19 |
| scott_ | tho>> Awesome, thanks. | 19:19 |
| Marbug | it doesn't extract them into mp3 MasterShrek :s | 19:20 |
| reya276 | so I should not download Kubuntu then | 19:20 |
| MasterShrek | boris__, i dont think the radeon driver supports aiglx, im not 100% sure on that, but i would look into using the propreitary ati driver, which card do you have btw? | 19:20 |
| MasterShrek | Marbug, really? hmm... | 19:20 |
| hopeless | i'm installing ubuntu 7.10 to dual-boot with fedora, and it's time to decide whether or not to install the boot loader. since ubuntu detected my fedora user account, is it safe to assume that it will also give me the option to boot into fedora? or is it better to just boot into fedora and edit grub from there? | 19:20 |
| Sam_Sam | I have HP 530 Laptop and when I put my headset the speakers still running sound, any body can help? | 19:20 |
| mehrab | nickrud: but terminal is open even after typing exit | 19:20 |
| nickrud | L3ttuc3: use xev to determine the keycode of the f13 key, then use it in gconf-editor to set the print screen command. Don't know where it is off hand | 19:20 |
| hopeless | note: i am really bad at messing with the boot loader, and want to avoid it if i can | 19:20 |
| boris__ | MasterShrek: oh yes it does support aiglx. better than fglrx. i got Radeon 9550. i can take a pic of my AIGLX compiz fusion effects if you want | 19:21 |
| nickrud | mehrab: you didn't type gnome-settings-daemon & , the & is important. You'll get the command line back | 19:21 |
| MasterShrek | Marbug, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping | 19:21 |
| L3ttuc3 | nickrud nothing that would work at kernel level? for example, if i wanted to have the kernel sys rq keys and whatnot? | 19:21 |
| MasterShrek | boris__, i believe you, i jsut figured the fglrx would better support aiglx | 19:21 |
| Frijolie | guess not | 19:21 |
| mehrab | & | 19:21 |
| L3ttuc3 | nickrud because what i really meant was sys rq/print screen key... | 19:21 |

| nickrud | Sam_Sam: gotta go, and mainly I know little to nothing about sound. Try searching ubuntuforums.org , I know that problem has come up before | 19:25 |

| nickrud | mehrab: what we did was a hack. If I had time I'd help you file a bug report, maybe you can ask someone else to help. The key was the ln -s we did, as well as the first error message you put up | 19:28 |

| danand_ | No1 - yes. in an install of ubuntu you should be able to specify which partition it uses for /home. you must esure though that it doesn't try and format that partition! - as always try and back up your data first | 19:33 |

| No1 | maybe I'm pushing my luck here but could I use the same approach for a partition to install my applications too?? this way when I swap or reinstall I don't have to reinstall all of my apps as well? or is that covered with moving /home only? | 19:38 |

| danand_ | No1 - no. /usr is the place for apps. unfortunately it will contain all kde files etc. If you wanna try out different desktops why bother with a reinstall at all - just install the meta-package. I'm certain you can configure which desktop you wanna use at login through choosing session type at the login (gdm) screen | 19:42 |

| danand_ | No1 - well .... _if_ your running kde and you wanted to try a gnome desktop, i think you can do an sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. check that with other users here though. ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package that installs all the stuff normally found on a vanilla ubuntu install. check the output of apt-cache pkgnames | grep ubuntu | grep desktop to see what meta-packages are available | 19:50 |

| ArthurArchnix | hey _Apollo_ from the code of conduct: "Telling people to RTFM or to "just google it" is not very polite, find them a url or at least give them some directions to documentation they can use." | 20:06 |
| lukasz | yes I can kostkon :) | 20:06 |
| switch_ | and that I should chmod my home directory to 644, Alp- | 20:06 |

| kostkon | lukasz, good! Happy I helped you :) | 20:06 |

| Stwange | i'll do it manually :) | 20:07 |
| Alp- | switch_: no problem | 20:07 |
| Squawk | Hey guys, having just compiled a new kernel I booted into it, and although just about everything works, my gnome desktop is restricted. I can't change the resolution from 800 by 600 or set any effects. Pretty new to ubuntu (not linux), so not really sure where to look. During boot there were a couple of errors, but flashed by too quick to read and I cant find anything in the logs (need to know what to look for). Thanks | 20:07 |

| Boston | i just bought a new 1680x1050 monitor. in ubuntu i changed my monitor to "LCD Panel 1680x1050" but even after reboot i cannot select that as a resolution. WTF? | 20:14 |
| gnomy | my seconded monitor can not go above 640x480 | 20:14 |
| gnomy | i am using envey drivers on nvidia | 20:14 |
| Boston | i can easily change my resolution in windows. why is ubuntu doing this? | 20:14 |
| brobostigon | !envy | 20:14 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 20:14 |
| gnomy | twinveiw is my atempted use | 20:14 |
| Boston | how can "LCD Panel 1680x1050" not have 1680x1050 as a resolution to select even after reboot | 20:15 |
| Vaylence | Anyone know of a decent DVD authoring program, I'm wanting to make a playable DVD with menus and all that jazz from a set of .avi files | 20:15 |
| lollo_ | can i put different background for different desktops ? ? ? ? | 20:15 |
| gnomy | how do i increase the resolution on my monitor ? | 20:15 |
| Boston | gnomy: good luck, free os = no support | 20:16 |
| gnomy | i know | 20:16 |
| Boston | i just bought a new monitor, windows detected the proper resolution | 20:16 |
| brontos | Good day all! is there a standard command line mail reader installed in ubuntu by default? | 20:16 |
| Boston | i cant even force that resolution in ubuntu | 20:16 |
| Pici | !attitude | Boston | 20:16 |
| ubotu | Boston: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 20:16 |
| Odd-rationale | lollo_: You can do it in kde or gnome+compiz. | 20:16 |
| lollo_ | ok i've gnome + compiz, what's the option ? | 20:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | Anyone here log into the terminal then manually startx? | 20:17 |
| Odd-rationale | lollo_: Do you have compizconfig-settings-manager? | 20:17 |
| Viden | If you are running 2 monitors with seperate xsessions how do you get links from monitor 2 to open on monitor 1 ?? | 20:17 |
| lollo_ | yep | 20:17 |
| gnomy | can i create an EDID ? | 20:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | I ask because it annoys me that I have to hit enter to get a login prompt. Know of a way around that? So it doesn't pause waiting for a keystroke, it just goes straight to the login prompt.. | 20:18 |
| gnomy | my second monitor lacks one | 20:18 |
| Alp- | switch_: that's very strange | 20:18 |
| arbir | is back | 20:18 |
| Odd-rationale | lollo_: click on "Desktop Cube" and under the "Appearance" tab, put several images in "Background Images" | 20:18 |
| switch_ | Alp-: I don't think I'm the owner | 20:18 |
| Boston | what an absolute joke | 20:18 |
| arbir | how can i mount an ISO image like in daemon tools ? | 20:18 |
| Boston | ubuntu has a LONG way to go | 20:18 |

| ubotu | tux__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 20:19 |
| switch_ | yeah, Alp- can't acces terminal anymore... | 20:19 |
| tux__ | i have a question i goto the console and type "su -" to become root, and it tells me my pw is bad whats wrong? | 20:19 |
| arbir | hello ubotu | 20:19 |
| Alp- | switch_: run it with gksudo | 20:20 |
| Odd-rationale | !sudo | tux__ | 20:20 |
| ubotu | tux__: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 20:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hey Boston, this place is for support. Ask a question and wait for someone to help you, or take your complaints to #ubuntu-offtopic. | 20:20 |
| === avc_wet is now known as acuster | ||
| Odd-rationale | tux__: Use sudo instead. | 20:20 |

| Pici | !iso > arbir (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 20:20 |
| Alp- | tux__: not possible in ubuntu | 20:20 |
| celi0us | !root | tux__ | 20:20 |
| Odd-rationale | tux__: You do become root with sudo, temp. | 20:20 |
| ubotu | tux__: 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 | 20:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | Alp-: Not true. | 20:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | Alp tux__ You just have to enable the root account first. | 20:21 |
| tux__ | what?, i have become root on my ubuntu box at home | 20:21 |
| tux__ | i type su - | 20:21 |
| arbir | Pici: thanks a lot.. i was also looking to cdemu package.... somehow its not in the reps.. | 20:21 |
| prince_jammys | tux__: if you don't want to use sudo, look elsewhere and you'll find how | 20:21 |
| graft | on behalf of the people of Boston, i would like to apologize for that jerk | 20:21 |
| luderacer | sudo -s | 20:21 |
| tux__ | and type my username pw | 20:21 |
| Alp- | ArthurArchnix: i thought the password of root is random and cant be altered | 20:21 |
| Odd-rationale | tux__: OK. If you really want to, do "sudo su" but it is not reccomemnded. Be careful! | 20:21 |

| slackern | VartanS/Boston You are really bored now arn't you? | 20:21 |
| VartanS | Pretty much. | 20:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | Alp-: Nope. It's just not setup. You can boot into recovery mode and set a password for root, thus activating the account. or something like that anyway. | 20:22 |
| Pici | !noroot | ArthurArchnix | 20:22 |
| ubotu | ArthurArchnix: We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 20:22 |
| Alp- | ArthurArchnix: good to know | 20:22 |
| Viden | Does anyone know anything about dual xsession setups? ... | 20:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | Alp-: Not really. If you want to use root accounts use Debian. See Pici.. I was getting there... | 20:23 |
| tux__ | hey Arthur how do i anable root? | 20:23 |
| graft | you don't need to boot into recovery mode to set a root password | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | !root | tux__ | 20:23 |
| ubotu | tux__: 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 | 20:23 |
| stormze3 | I'd like to set up ssh to use a different port for a specific client. Is there a FAQ on how to do this? | 20:23 |
| Pici | tux__: We don't support that here as you've been told. | 20:23 |
| gnomy | how do i turn on compiz fusion ? | 20:23 |
| unenough | hi, is there a tools that will show me list of packages ordered by how recently a file in that packages was used? | 20:23 |
| tux__ | how gay | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | stormze3, "for a specific client"? | 20:23 |

| komputes | how can I install firefox 2 in hardy? | 20:23 |
| Viden | tux__ : enabling root is generally just a horrible idea ... why do you want to ? | 20:23 |
| tux__ | answer my question | 20:23 |
| unenough | tool* | 20:23 |
| Alp- | ArthurArchnix: i dont want to. i just told you, that's "good to know" so that i wont tell anybody something wrong anymore | 20:23 |
| PriceChild | tux__, please don't use gay as a derogatory term in this channel. | 20:23 |
| ArthurArchnix | Sorry tux__ I've done it once before and it created all kinds of problems for me. Debian uses that root/su/user setup though, if you really want to. | 20:23 |
| stormze3 | PriceChild: A specific machine... maybe "client" wasn't the right term. | 20:23 |
| prince_jammys | tux__: the answer to your question is go look elsewhere | 20:23 |
| celi0us | tux__: if you want a root shell use sudo -i | 20:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | Alp-: My mistake. | 20:24 |
| graft | how does setting a root password create problems? | 20:24 |
| tux__ | is UBUNTU gay? | 20:24 |
| stormze3 | PriceChild: In other words, I want ssh to know based on the host I give it what port to use. | 20:24 |
| tux__ | how do i enable root? | 20:24 |
| komputes | graft: it opens up an attack vector | 20:24 |
| prince_jammys | byebye | 20:24 |
| graft | komputes: meaning you might crack it? | 20:24 |
| Viden | good call PriceChild :-D | 20:24 |
| PriceChild | stormze3, look up ~/.ssh/config | 20:24 |
| graft | komputes: how is that different than cracking a user account with sudo privs? | 20:24 |
| PriceChild | stormze3, you can list hosts there | 20:24 |
| gnomy | tux please don't use the word gay negatively as you have been it is offensive | 20:25 |
| PriceChild | gnomy, i've already told him that... and kickbanned him... | 20:25 |
| prince_jammys | i think he's fully aware of that | 20:25 |
| komputes | graft: kind of, if root has no password, nobody can get in to root, like most attacks do, the only way to run command as root is sudo, or sudo -s to get a root shell | 20:25 |
| komputes | How can I install firefox 2 in hardy? | 20:25 |
| * _Oz_ shudders instinctively as he reads the words of pricechild | 20:25 | |
| stormze3 | thanks, PriceChild, I think that's exactly what I neeed. :) | 20:25 |
| graft | komputes: that makes no sense... anyone can be root, you just set your uid to 0 | 20:25 |
| Alp- | i want to change the font-size in the browser-view of "listen". but how can i do that? | 20:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | graft: It's just not supported. Everything in Ubuntu has been designed around the idea of no root account being activated. It's like a fundamental assumption. You can disagree with it if you like, but if you have a serious problem with that fundamental assumption you're probably not going to like Ubuntu all that much. Thus, my recommendation to install Debian for those who find it offensive or "gay", as the former participan | 20:25 |
| kbrosnan | komputes: you can download firefox from mozilla.com and run it from your home folder | 20:26 |

| _Oz_ | m3gach33zy, yes | 20:26 |
| gnomy | yes m3gach you will | 20:26 |
| kbrosnan | komputes: no | 20:26 |

| komputes | kbrosnan: can't I just get it from a repo? | 20:26 |
| Viden | If you are running 2 monitors with seperate xsessions how do you get links from monitor 2 to open on monitor 1 ? .... if no one knows on this asking ill stop spaming it, just 1 last try. :-D | 20:27 |
| graft | ArthurArchnix: i appreciate the difference, and honestly i don't care, i just wish people would stop playing up the security differences, i don't think they're that huge. it's just easier to have one password for the user to remember, and that's the only necessary justification | 20:27 |
| arbir | _Oz_: what are nautilus scripts ? | 20:27 |
| _Oz_ | arbir: I don't use them so I'm not the best to answer that | 20:27 |
| kbrosnan | komputes: on most ubuntu installs it should be installed already | 20:27 |
| komputes | kbrosnan: it is, but a beta version is installed on Hardy, 8.04 | 20:28 |
| VartanS | Is it possible to run Ubuntu on an external HD side-by-side with Windows Vista? | 20:28 |
| danand_ | m3gach33zy - google for a screenshot of grub boot loader on the web. if you install ubuntu thats what you'll get each time you switch your machine on | 20:28 |

| Odd-rationale | No1: Don't know. But don't think so... | 20:32 |
| danand_ | No1 - was thinking .... if your feeling brave .... in order to try out ubuntu etc - goto a tty (press ctrl-alt-f1) and uninstall your current desktop - ie sudo apt-get --purge remove kubuntu-desktop ... after that do a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. not sure i would be brave (or stupid) enough to try that though... course the simplest solution is to use the live cd of each distro you wanna try | 20:32 |

| blue112 | Hello everyone. | 20:34 |
| No1 | I wanted to throw all of the ubuntu iso's onto one dvd and choose which to load for installation at boot time. | 20:34 |
| hobbzilla | How do I control X to start or not start after a reboot? | 20:35 |
| No1 | if this is at all possible, instead of setting up each on their own cd | 20:35 |
| fabio_ | hi | 20:35 |
| blue112 | I have a problem with an installation CD which makes a Kernel Panic on loading | 20:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | goodhabit: I found this quote from one of the developers of the ext3 filesystem when asked about undeleting files: "In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks the inode as "deleted" and leaves the block pointers alone. Your only hope is to "grep" for parts of your f | 20:35 |
| fabio_ | hobbzilla | 20:35 |
| goodhabit | No1, do you mean kubuntu, ubuntu etc. on one dvd? | 20:35 |
| fabio_ | it's due to gdm | 20:35 |
| blue112 | And while i try to check the CD, it still makes a kernelpanic. | 20:35 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: I think the mini.iso is your best option, provided you have decent internet connection. Need link? | 20:35 |
| No1 | yes, kubuntu, ubuntu, ubuntustudio, edubuntu, etc | 20:36 |
| goodhabit | It is possible. | 20:36 |
| AtomicSpark | wow. for the life of me i can never remember this command. whats the command that outputs your ati hardare information? shows if you have direct rendering? | 20:36 |
| No1 | I have a separate /home partition setup and I want to try the rest now that i can keep most of my settings | 20:36 |
| hobbzilla | fabio_: so make sure that gdm is not set for the current runlevel? | 20:36 |
| blue112 | Can someone help me :( ? | 20:36 |
| fabio_ | runlevel | 20:36 |
| fabio_ | go to /etc/rc%.d | 20:36 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: If you want to try kubuntu do: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 20:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | Hi... I boot to the command line but it annoys me that I have to hit enter to get a login prompt. is there a way to make ubuntu skip straight to the login prompt without waiting for me to hit a key? | 20:37 |
| bejb | hm | 20:37 |
| fabio_ | rename the gdm script | 20:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | AtomicSpark: glxinfo | grep dri ? | 20:37 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: At the login screen. You can choose whether you want a gnome session of kde seesion | 20:37 |
| fabio_ | rename from S to K | 20:37 |
| Squawk | Hey fellas, with my new kernel I have no sound. All relevant sound modules are loaded, but still I get "no volume control gstreamer plugins available and/or no card". Since all the modules are loaded I assume its the gstreamer plugins, but since they were installed with the old kernel, and I thought there were usespace tool, im confused. How do I re-enable them? | 20:37 |
| No1 | Odd-rationale: please :D | 20:37 |
| AtomicSpark | ArthurArchnix: glxinfo, thanks! | 20:37 |

| koojoo | ive edited my /etc/bash/bashrc and made a nice colourful PS1 prompt, but for some reason the only person getting to see the nice colored prompt is user root or su... both TERM variables are the same for root and normal user (linux) and note that the prompt change is seen the SAME as both users, except only root sees the colour... why is this and how can i fix it?? | 20:38 |
| blue112 | Can someone help me with a kernel panic problem while I try to install Ubuntu ? | 20:38 |
| No1 | yeah, kubuntu is the other one I have tried, it's the rest I wanna play with now :P | 20:38 |
| koojoo | i also have the PS1= in my /etc/profile | 20:38 |
| hobbzilla | does ubuntu/debian have a tool like RH's chkconfig ? | 20:38 |
| danand_ | No1 - apt-get --purge remove ... will completely wipe whatever packages you supply as arguments off your system ie apt-get --purge remove kubuntu-desktop will erase all packages to do with the kubuntu desktop. apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will then install all packages associated with the ubuntu/gnome desktop. hopefully then you'd be able to reboot into a gnome desktop as if you had installed ubuntu(edubuntu/xubuntu... or whatever) from cd | 20:38 |
| koojoo | and the normal use sees the colours of th4 files/dirs via ls | 20:38 |
| _Oz_ | I have "theme" confusion. I have emerald theme manager installed, plus compiz-fusion. Which themes do I browse to install - compiz themes or emerald themes? | 20:38 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: Then try xubuntu-desktop. | 20:38 |
| _Oz_ | I'm at gnome-look.org and there are categories both for compiz and emerald | 20:38 |
| Starnestommy | koojoo: a setting in the users' ~/.bashrc files is overriding the main one | 20:38 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: ubuntustudio-desktop, etc. | 20:39 |
| No1 | I was gonna plan on that one, but I wanted to see ubuntu studio first :P | 20:39 |
| Creationist | Just wanted to thank everyone that has helped me the past few days with my neighbor's wireless issue :) Finally solved the issue. | 20:39 |

| ironfoot_495 | I have a problem finding PPD file for Phaser 8560DN-r. Can someone help me with this? | 20:39 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: However, you cannot install ubuntustudio from the mini.iso | 20:40 |
| ironfoot_495 | Phaser 8560DN-4 | 20:40 |
| fabio_ | what is it ? | 20:40 |

| glam | I installed mono in Ubuntu Gutsy using, but cannot find the VB.NET compiler vbnc, how to get it? | 20:40 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: Actually, I would rather install ubuntu and then ubuntustudio ontop. | 20:41 |
| No1 | I just wish I could setup a choice menu on a dvd to choose which install to do seeing as I already have all of the alternate version iso's downloaded | 20:41 |
| AtomicSpark | so i found a bug. my bright up/down fn keys don't work if on AC power. and i just noticed now if i unplug AC power, it doesnt recognize the battery. :-\ | 20:41 |

| fabio_ | c# is much better than vb | 20:41 |
| No1 | I have ubuntu installed now, are you talking about the ubuntu studio app found in the package installer | 20:41 |
| fabio_ | c# 3 i mean | 20:41 |
| No1 | ? | 20:41 |
| koojoo | Starnestommy: even if i delete the users .bashrc or .bash* it still isnt showing me colored prompt | 20:41 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: No. Go to synaptic. I believe the package is called ubuntustudio-desktop | 20:42 |
| Kona | Hi everyone! | 20:42 |
| Stwange | I'm doing a backup with # cp * /media/external/backup/ - is this going to start copying /media/external/backup into itself? | 20:42 |
| No1 | yeah, I installed that from add/remove before but never tried it out, is that the same thing as doing the studio install? | 20:43 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: the one in add/remove is not the same package. | 20:43 |
| No1 | kk | 20:43 |
| kbrooks | can anyone recommend a password manager? | 20:44 |
| graft | Stwange: no, cp doesn't recurse | 20:44 |
| Stwange | sorry graft, I'm actually doing: root@blackweb:/# cp -R * /media/Monkey\ Drive/backup/ | 20:44 |
| No1 | see the only worry I have is that I can find a million tutorials on how to complete something but they never leave instructions on how to revert/remove what you did :P that is why I was going to do full installs for each so each is a clean version. is there any advantages of installing studio on to of ubuntu? | 20:45 |
| Stwange | will the -R cause it to do this? | 20:45 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/UpgradingFromGutsy | 20:45 |
| danand_ | Odd-rationale - isn't ubuntustudio-desktop a meta-package for all the packages that would be installed from a version of the ubuntustudio cd?? | 20:45 |
| VartanS | Would there be any reason for the Ubuntu Installer to be stuck on "Detecting filesystems"/15%? | 20:45 |
| Odd-rationale | danand_: Pretty much | 20:45 |
| Odd-rationale | danand_: See link ^ | 20:45 |
| hobbzilla | sysv-rc-conf & update-rc.d appear to be good runlevel configuration managers. | 20:45 |
| Odd-rationale | No1, danand_: The only real difference between ubuntu and studio (besides all the extra apps) is that studio features the real-time kernel. | 20:47 |
| danand_ | Odd-rationale - ok not quite then... :) - real time kernel etc - cool | 20:47 |

| fabio_ | i was thinkin micro was good at mine field | 20:51 |
| bullgard4 | rysiek|pl: And what is your problem? | 20:52 |
| yao_ziyuan | let me tell my sad story about installing ubuntu | 20:52 |
| rysiek|pl | bullgard4: writing it down, a sec ;) | 20:52 |
| danand_ | No1 - real time kernel is supposed to react to interupt requests in near enough real time (ie fast) with a vanilla linux kernel you may have to wait a while for it to respond while its busy doing something else. has to do with the way the scheduler works i think. with a rt kernel the kernel is run on top of a scheduler - ie as a sub process of the scheduler. with vanilla kernel the scheduler is a subprocess of the kernel ie the kernel controls the scheduli | 20:52 |
| brobostigon | fabio_: MS still develops an OS | 20:52 |

| bullgard4 | Armakidon: stop it. | 20:53 |
| Armakidon | bullgard4: ok | 20:53 |
| yao_ziyuan | i have no other floppies, usbs, cds, dvds, cd writers except that | 20:53 |
| No1 | ahh, gotchya, the same sounded much faster tbh :P and I assume that would work well with a 64 install as well | 20:53 |
| rysiek|pl | here's the deal: I am watching (watch -n 1) /var/log/acpid and I can see all the power button, cpu, etc events showing up - but no lid events. BUT the display gets blanked when I close the lid AND cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state shows "closed" when lid is closed and "open" when it's open | 20:53 |
| rysiek|pl | bullgard4: ^^^ | 20:53 |
| yao_ziyuan | then, i first used that winxp cd to install winxp on my computer | 20:53 |
| FD_F | Hi i configure 8800GT driver and it work But when i restart i lost all the driver someone have idea why it happened ? | 20:53 |

| yao_ziyuan | and ubuntu's hd-media installer files (vmlinuz, initrd.gz, ...) | 20:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | and boot to grub and load this hd-media installer | 20:54 |
| fabio_ | doing some testing | 20:54 |
| hobbzilla | Why does Ubuntu not differentiate between runlevel 2 - 5 ? | 20:54 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: huh? screen gets un-blanked, if that's what you are asking | 20:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | the hd-media installer then runs into a loop of "float point overflow" | 20:54 |
| No1 | although one of yas will probably kill me if I don't shuddup, but.... :P any of you familiar with VirtualBox problems?? this is the only other thing, other then setting up python/wxpython and driver stuff which can wait, that I am stuck with since I migrated from XP :P | 20:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | and then, i tried ubuntu's "netboot installer" | 20:55 |
| mage__ | rysiek|pl: oh because there was all this text and I didn't see a question :) | 20:55 |
| yao_ziyuan | which did download ubuntu packages from the net | 20:55 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: ah, right | 20:55 |
| c0mp13371331337 | No1 - What kind of VirtualBox problems? | 20:55 |
| yao_ziyuan | but after it succeeded and restarted the computer, | 20:55 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: the question: why is that so | 20:55 |

| No1 | seamless works fine as long as I have at least one xp window open, if none are open the screen messes up horribly | 20:56 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: i.e. why the screen gets blanked/un-blanked, cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state shows proper lid states, BUT acpid does *not* receive lid events | 20:56 |

| yao_ziyuan | sorry i didn't notice you guys' cautions | 20:56 |

| danand_ | No1 - i've am familiar with vitualbox problems - i have them all the time :D | 20:56 |
| No1 | heheheh | 20:57 |
| mage__ | rysiek|pl: maybe closing the lid doesn't do an interrupt | 20:57 |
| yao_ziyuan | because i'm using xchat, a sucking program that doesn't even notifies me of for-me messages | 20:57 |
| Petengy | someone know a guide or wiki or app to "see" GPU and HDD temperatures on desktop (GNOME) better on bars ??? | 20:57 |

| Petengy | ?? | 20:57 |
| c0mp13371331337 | No1 - Hmmm, that's odd. Do you have Compiz or any composite manager going on? | 20:58 |
| yao_ziyuan | it was also a pain to wait so long for the netboot installer to download ubuntu | 20:58 |
| yao_ziyuan | so i decide to try fedora | 20:58 |
| No1 | I'm not even sure what that is so I would think no :P | 20:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | psyferre: That's just the first one I came across... there are many online. Search around a bit and I'm sure you'll find an even better one. Especially if you're willing to go down the paid support route. | 20:58 |
| bullgard4 | rysiek|pl: I find it normal that the display gets blanked when you close the lid. And reappears when you reopen it. So what is your problem? | 20:58 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: To check. Go to Sys --> Pref --> Apperance and on the Visual Effects tab, check if None is selected | 20:59 |
| No1 | I have reinstalled it god knws how many times, it works fine the first time, then it messes up and keeps messing up untill I reinstall it | 20:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | psyferre: I don't know much about them... I just recall reading an article about them on digg a while back, which made me think to look for it.... so, you know, I'm not endorsing that link I gave you. ;) | 20:59 |
| psyferre | ArthurArchnix: Yeah, that's really the reason i turned to irc. Googling gave me so many options that I was hoping to hear a "glowing recommendation" from someone in channel | 20:59 |
| c0mp13371331337 | No1 - That would be all the effects, 3D desktop cube, REAL transparency, window/menu animations and fading, that sort of thing | 20:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | ahah.. sorry. | 20:59 |
| No1 | nothing is checked there | 20:59 |
| rysiek|pl | bullgard4: the problem is that acpid does *not* get the lid events | 20:59 |
| mage__ | rysiek|pl: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_acpid mentions shell scripts in /etc/acpi, try adding some debug output near the top, like have the script write to a log file | 21:00 |
| No1 | does it need to be set to none? | 21:00 |
| Odd-rationale | No1: I know what you mean. Once I did two reinstalls in 1 hr. | 21:00 |
| faileas | !webmin | 21:00 |
| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 21:00 |
| No1 | lol, yep | 21:00 |
| psyferre | ArthurArchnix: Haha, thanks for the disclaimer :) I'm really hoping to find something that offers a little more options and features than the standard email or text message if the site doesn't respond | 21:00 |
| faileas | !ebox | 21:00 |
| ubotu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec | 21:00 |
| No1 | me too :P | 21:00 |
| rysiek|pl | bullgard4: and it is so strange BECAUSE the screen gets blanked, as if acpid received the events | 21:00 |

| No1 | lol | 21:01 |
| _Oz_ | all my other windows are grabbable and moveable | 21:01 |
| mage__ | rysiek|pl: /etc/acpi/lid.sh supposedly gets run every time you cycle the screen, could tell it to write to the log file for you :) | 21:01 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: that will not work, as for those scripts to get run, acpid need to fire them up | 21:01 |
| Flare183 | !lol | 21:01 |
| PriceChild | gnomy, there will be instructions from where you downloaded it, and probably inside too. | 21:01 |
| ubotu | Please don't use "LOL" and "OMG" and so forth on a regular basis. This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. | 21:01 |
| * Flare183 says crap | 21:01 | |
| ArthurArchnix | _Oz_: if it's just frozen, do a ps ax in a terminal, find the pid, then kill PID | 21:01 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: and acpi will fire them up when it gets an event | 21:01 |
| gnomy | the readme is suprisingly short | 21:01 |
| rysiek|pl | mage__: which it doesn't get (as /var/log/acpid shows) | 21:01 |
| PriceChild | gnomy, I'd advise using apps packaged in the repositories though | 21:02 |
| Odd-rationale | _Oz_: Sounds like X hanged up a bit. Try doing ctrl+alt+f1 and then come back with ctrl+alt+f7 | 21:02 |
| mage__ | how do you know its just not logging it? | 21:02 |

| Koer | How can i manipulate where the windows i open appear ? | 21:05 |
| bullgard4 | rysiek|pl: Ah. Now I understand your problem a bit better. -- The apparent discrepancy may be caused by the synchronous appearance of the button event and its consequence: a dark screen. I would try to resolve it by consulting your event log. Closing the lid button should reflect in the the event log. | 21:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | EnvoyRising: There's a channel for hardy. I think it's #ubuntu+1 | 21:05 |

| Odd-rationale | !defrag | KiD_ChAoS | 21:09 |
| ubotu | KiD_ChAoS: The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 21:09 |
| markus___ | #ubuntu-mythtv | 21:10 |
| osfameron | ah, I'll try defragging vista, see if that lets me shrink more | 21:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | osfameron: I managed to get mine down to 12... good luck with 10 :P Remember to defrag before and after each resize. Never resize to less than 65% of total size in one go (I seem to recall reading that Windows puts some disk information around the 50% mark. | 21:10 |
| osfameron | ah, damn. My isostick installation doesn't work :-( | 21:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | osfameron: Vista only lets you defrag so much. Then you must defrag, reboot into gparted live, resize about %70, reboot defrag, repeat. | 21:11 |

I'm loving gusty gibbon. when i first installed it a few months ago it worked fine wwith both my digital cam and my mp3 player. they both connect via usb. now when I plug them in the OS doesn't see them at all.

| wpk | untermensch: what are you burning it with? | 21:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | I removed gdm and boot to command prompt, but it annoys me that I have to hit enter before I get login. How do I automagically clear the screen of boot messages and give user a login prompt? | 21:33 |

| untermensch | it shows nothing in it, and all the mb in the cd are free. | 21:35 |
| sergio | hi, does someone know an application which changes the music from a device automatically??? | 21:35 |
| utkan0s | most docs make reference to an 'X server color config' where you can adjust contrast/gamma. etc | 21:35 |
| arthurmaciel | does anyone know any small and slim laptop that can run ubuntu smoothly? (I would like personal reports on that - I know most of them can run ubuntu, but want one that is small and light) | 21:35 |
| utkan0s | i do not have this option in mine | 21:35 |
| wpk | untermensch: 1. are you sure you have CD and not DVD iso? | 21:35 |
| wpk | untermensch: try to boot off it | 21:35 |
| untermensch | wpk:how would i tell the difference between cd and dvd ? | 21:35 |
| wpk | untermensch: ISO file size | 21:36 |
| untermensch | just shy of 700mb | 21:36 |
| psyferre | arthurmaciel: check out the eeepc. I think it takes a little configuration to get ubuntu running on it smoothly, but it's a pretty nifty little laptop | 21:36 |
| wpk | untermensch: try booting off it | 21:36 |
| hobbzilla | I have an AMD 64 X2 4000+. `cat /proc/cpuinfo` shows "cpu MHz: 1000.000" I assume this is due to CnQ enabled in the BIOS. | 21:36 |
| iDivine | Is it safe to close the update manager if it froze completely? | 21:37 |
| untermensch | ok. | 21:37 |
| untermensch | i'll try that. ty =] | 21:37 |
| kostkon | iDivine, not safe | 21:37 |
| mkquist | untermensch: maybe ur windows install doenst want to burn it... afraid of it? =p | 21:37 |
| arthurmaciel | psyferre: but I`ve heard from people that have it that is not quite confortable to use eeepc as main laptop/pc | 21:37 |
| iDivine | kostkon, Well, It's just sitting there?... | 21:37 |
| untermensch | mkquist: rofl it's probably scared of it's superior | 21:37 |
| mkquist | lol | 21:37 |
| kostkon | iDivine, when did it freeze? at the end? | 21:37 |
| hobbzilla | does "cpu MHz" get updated as the CnQ ramps up the cpu MHz? or is that set at boot time? | 21:38 |
| psyferre | arthurmaciel: That's true, it depends how small/slim you want to go | 21:38 |
| iDivine | kostkon, No it froze at,Setting up akiradnews (20080222) ... | 21:38 |
| iDivine | kostkon, Been there for a 30 mins? | 21:38 |

| psyferre | arthurmaciel: I'm not very current with the latest laptop models anymore, but a Dell XPS 1710 is a sweet little laptop you can get with decent graphics capability and a 12.1" screen. I know in windows it will support resolutions over 1024x768 | 21:41 |

| PriceChild | !3rdparty | jexmex | 21:41 |

You should trust the maintainers of these repositories before using them. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297814 for consequences. | 21:41 |
| jexmex | PriceChild, what are you talking about 3rd party, this is a kernal upgrade to 2.6.24 | 21:41 |
| Kemrin2 | Does anyone know an option to start programs minimized? | 21:41 |
| ompaul | jexmex, it is not official ubunt | 21:42 |
| ompaul | u | 21:42 |
| osfameron | gah. this booting from disk thing isn't working very well at all :-( | 21:42 |
| PriceChild | jexmex, that error is from a 3rd party repo. | 21:42 |
| Flare183 | jexmex: yeah trust the repos. | 21:42 |
| PriceChild | jexmex, we do *NOT* support hardy in this channel. | 21:42 |

| osfameron | I've tried making bootable with syslinux, and install-mbr, but it still whines "missing operating system" | 21:42 |
| Flare183 | yeah | 21:42 |
| kostkon | iDivine, although, if you just kill it like that, it will break your apt db and maybe then you'll have to fix it. In most cases you manage to fix any breakage like that | 21:42 |
| malcomdw | hello guys. Is there a way to make programs for linux with a garbage collector capable language as like Java? | 21:42 |
| iDivine | kostkon, =\ | 21:43 |
| bluefox83 | osfameron, did you install grub? looks like there's no bootloader | 21:43 |
| ompaul | !install > osfameron (please check the subject matter from the bot) | 21:43 |
| osfameron | anyone used that isostick method to install gutsy to a laptop without CD-Rom? | 21:43 |
| Koer | can anyone help ? the windows i open will appear out of place | 21:43 |
| arthurmaciel | psyferre: thanks. I'll take a look. | 21:43 |
| georged | osf yes I have | 21:43 |
| osfameron | ompaul: ta | 21:43 |
| osfameron | bluefox83: I was hoping the isostick/syslinux magic would all JustWork... | 21:43 |
| osfameron | georged: did you have problems? | 21:43 |
| [adw] | malcomdw: you could write it in java? | 21:43 |
| jexmex | I am not trying to run hardy, just upgrade gusty kernals to 2.6.24 | 21:43 |
| Flare183 | Koer: what do you mean "out of place" | 21:43 |
| daBaki | hello everybody | 21:43 |
| Kemrin2 | I'm trying to make programs minimized on startup, what option do I add to their commands for that? | 21:43 |
| jexmex | to fix a wireless problem | 21:43 |
| Koer | they appear on the upper left corner | 21:44 |
| Flare183 | !autostart | Kemrin2 | 21:44 |
| ubotu | Kemrin2: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 21:44 |
| georged | not really, worked first time | 21:44 |
| malcomdw | [adw] if it's possible I would to stay away from C or C++. | 21:44 |
| psyferre | arthurmaciel: np, the laptop has been out for about a year and half, so you could probably get it at a decent price now | 21:44 |
| georged | what probs u havin? | 21:44 |
| utkan0s | Koer is this a new problem | 21:44 |
| jexmex | the kernal is located in the hardy repos which I have removed from apt but apt is still having issues that I cannot get rid of | 21:44 |
| Flare183 | Koer: give me a screen shot and upload it to http://imagebin.ca/ | 21:44 |
| jexmex | in gusty | 21:44 |
| [adw] | malcomdw: again, java :) or python or ruby for that matter | 21:44 |
| lixfe | hello, I try to get an avm c4 isdn card to work with dapper, capiinit says failed to load firmware, I have no idea where to get this firemware | 21:44 |

| ubotu | jexmex: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 21:44 |
| osfameron | georged: I've set the USB HDD to boot, prepared the usb drive with isostick.sh and a recent gutsy image | 21:44 |
| PriceChild | jexmex, so you have installed the hardy kernel? | 21:45 |
| malcomdw | adw: qt and java? is it possible? | 21:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | jexmex: What makes you so sure that you can't fix the wireless problem with the current kernel? | 21:45 |
| danbhfive | jexmex: that kernel may not be compatible with the other software you have in gutsy | 21:45 |
| osfameron | georged: but when I boot up the X61, after the initial memory check, it immediately complains "Missing operating system" | 21:45 |
| Flare183 | Koer: might be; but still i need to see it | 21:45 |
| Kemrin2 | I know how to add them to startip, what I'm asking is how do I make them be minimized. Isn't there a command for that? | 21:45 |
| utkan0s | is anyone familiar with nvidia-settings? | 21:45 |
| [adw] | malcomdw: not sure about qt tho, are you thinking about developing gui apps? | 21:45 |
| jexmex | ArthurArchnix, other people have posted that the kernal upgraded fixed the problems I am having with my chipset(connects works, but disconnects here and there) | 21:45 |
| bluefox83 | utkan0s, yes, just ask your question | 21:46 |
| georged | hmm :( never come across that sry | 21:46 |
| malcomdw | [adw] yes | 21:46 |
| utkan0s | i did | 21:46 |
| arcticpenguin380 | is it possible to use 256byte inodes? | 21:46 |
| jexmex | it worked out of the box on gusty but it drops all the time | 21:46 |
| PriceChild | jexmex, so you have installed the hardy kernel? If so then please go to #ubuntu+1 | 21:46 |
| utkan0s | I do not have an X Server Color Configuration option in my copy of nvidia-settings and I need to adjust the gamma/contrast on one of my monitors | 21:46 |
| jexmex | no I am still using the gusty kernal | 21:46 |
| arthurmaciel | psyferre: but it is 17" screen, right? I want something much smaller and light | 21:46 |
| jexmex | 2.6.22 | 21:46 |
| utkan0s | has it been updated and placed somewhere else or do I need to add further modules to mine? | 21:46 |
| Flare183 | jexmex: but you are talking about the hardy kernel right? | 21:46 |
| PriceChild | jexmex, remove the line from /etc/apt/sources.list that is being complained about. | 21:46 |
| Grezer | Is there anyone here that is using ISPConfig and knows a bit about it ?? | 21:46 |
| Kemrin2 | No one knows a terminal command for minimizing programs? | 21:46 |
| Koer | http://imagebin.ca/view/IRX-Fp9.html | 21:46 |
| Koer | there it is | 21:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | jexmex please provide output of "lspci | grep Wireless" use pastebin | 21:47 |
| arthurmaciel | psyferre: my laptop does not have cdrom and weights about 1.5kg. I want something at the same size or smaller. | 21:47 |
| PriceChild | Kemrin2, what application is it? | 21:47 |
| psyferre | arthurmaciel: oh no, the 1710 is tiny, unless i have my model numbers backwards | 21:47 |
| Flare183 | Kemrin2: i don't think so | 21:47 |
| daBaki | can anybody help me while running Photoshop on Linux ? | 21:47 |
| Darkmystere | Err, how do i stop Record my desktop GTK GUI from recording.. | 21:47 |
| [adw] | malcomdw: yes, qt and java with something called qt jambi | 21:47 |
| jexmex | it was removed, but when I do a apt-get update, it says the error | 21:47 |
| PriceChild | Darkmystere, press the same button you pressed to start it. | 21:47 |

| PriceChild | jexmex, remove the line from /etc/apt/sources.list that is being complained about. | 21:47 |
| Creationist | Okay, how do I configure Ubuntu to automatically connect to a wireless network when logging in? I had it working, then rebooted... now the network doesn't even show up. | 21:47 |

| Flare183 | Koer: yeap i understand it | 21:47 |
| Darkmystere | pricechild, err the window disapperd.. | 21:47 |

| daBaki | PriceChild thanks mate | 21:49 |
| PriceChild | sotec_prod, use their uninstall programs properly. | 21:49 |

| daBaki | cuz i had fedora but i changed it and i want to use ubuntu but i'm sure if it will run photoshop :D | 21:49 |
| bluefox83 | utkan0s, it should be under X Screen 0 -> X server Color Correction | 21:49 |
| Flare183 | Koer: then press move | 21:49 |
| [adw] | malcomdw: i'd probably go for something python with wx or tkinter as python collects the garbage and all | 21:50 |
| psyferre | Kemrin2: thanks for the input, friend :) | 21:50 |
| vaughn | On Ubuntu Server 7.10 | 21:50 |
| bluefox83 | utkan0s, there are no modules to load into nvidia-settings | 21:50 |
| Koer | it moves the window | 21:50 |
| utkan0s | bluefox83, I realize that, I am saying I do not have it | 21:50 |
| Kemrin2 | psyferre No problem ^_^ | 21:50 |
| Flare183 | Koer: and use the arrow buttons to move the window | 21:50 |
| Creationist | How do I get Ubuntu to show a list of available wireless networks? I used to be able to click the network icon and select a network; then I rebooted. They are no longer listed. | 21:50 |

| Koer | okay | 21:50 |
| bluefox83 | utkan0s, did you run it with sudo? | 21:50 |

| sotec_prod | PriceChild, I've mucked up my XP partition somehow by installing the software for a Bluetooth USB Dongle, and XP won't boot. I am wondering if there is a sneaky way through Ubuntu to delete that software from the Windows partition. I can't access the Recovery Console via the XP disk. I know this is a little out of context for this room, but it's the only room I know to ask in. | 21:50 |

| ere4si | not that I can find Kemrin2 | 21:59 |
| khaled | where you going | 21:59 |
| Flare183 | I know | 21:59 |
| Creationist | graft: Highly unlikely.... worked great 15 minutes ago. | 21:59 |
| jexmex | i understand of a gpg key is for I believe its a md5 checksum? | 21:59 |
| _Oz_ | how do I change the color of the desktop "panels" on the bottom taskbar? they default to an ugly tan/brown color and changing themese doesn't help? | 21:59 |
| PriceChild | Flare183, please read what ubotu just said... you're blatantly disregarding it. | 21:59 |
| jexmex | anyways that was a repo added earlier for something I was doing and never did | 21:59 |
| ere4si | Kemrin2, try the man pages for each prog? | 21:59 |
| bluefox83 | oyvind, well youtube can be a bad flash installation, and vlc can be a pain to configure if you don't know what you are doing...are you saying you have no system sounds at all? | 21:59 |
| graft | Creationist: this does not make it highly unlikely, but if you're sure... | 21:59 |
| khaled | Flare183 | 21:59 |
| Flare183 | PriceChild: I understand. wrong channel sorry | 21:59 |
| LjL | khaled, try to make sense, if you don't mind | 21:59 |
| PriceChild | jexmex, trusting a gpg key, means you implicitly trust the owner of that key. You trust them to do whatever they want to your system. | 21:59 |
| kenni | I have a question: How do I make the HVR3000 work with Ubuntu? I did it before .. but then I chose to wipe the harddisk and forget how I did it. I can't find the card in the list of supported cards, but maybe I am looking the wrong place. | 21:59 |

| oyvind | bluefox83: also theres no sound on logon, and ive got that enabled | 22:01 |
| bluefox83 | oyvind, mine goes orange when the sound is muted... | 22:01 |
| bluefox83 | ah | 22:01 |
| kenni | PriceChild, not much .. just looked in dmesg, but it doesn't seem to be detected a lot .. and I looked at linuxtv.org and video4linux website .. but I dont really know where to look and what to download. | 22:02 |
| bluefox83 | when i boot up ubuntu mine is orange till it gets to the login screen, then it turns blue and i get sound | 22:02 |
| bluefox83 | oyvind, how did you install ubuntu? which iso did you use? | 22:02 |
| oyvind | bluefox83: yeah, its seems like ubuntu thinks its enable when its disabled | 22:02 |
| _Oz_ | how do I change the color of the desktop "panels" on the bottom taskbar? they default to an ugly tan/brown color and changing themes doesn't help? | 22:02 |

| bluefox83 | oyvind, did you install the latest version of alsa? i had to do that and a few other things, just to get my headphones to work right | 22:05 |
| ompaul | kenni, no - I am saying that asking someone where they are from is offotpic | 22:05 |
| neverblue | Koer, sorry, cannot help | 22:05 |

| ere4si | _Oz_, I installed a dark theme that did , so you need to find one that does that... | 22:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | lollo_: It could not handle both... I wnt through the tutorial, got wallpapers on each side, but had to turn off desktop icons in the process.. Ask in #Compiz for more info | 22:06 |
| bluefox83 | oyvind, i dunno then...but it's a shame that your laptop didn't work as well as mine did... | 22:06 |

| Flare183 | CorruptTerrorist: i can't i didn't think | 23:26 |
| leeping2007 | PriceChild, I think so too - that's why I'm confused. The Ubuntu partitioner sees three hard drives (two of which are in the supposed RAID). However, I think it's an actual hardware RAID because I can't find anything RAID-related in my BIOS that would point to a fakeRAID | 23:27 |
| CorruptTerrorist | Flare183, what? that doesn't make sense to me | 23:27 |
| Intro5pect | I've tried some things i found on forums but didn't work , such as the nodma parameter | 23:27 |
| PriceChild | leeping2007, I don't think the raid problems are related to the ubuntu ones. | 23:27 |

| CorruptTerrorist | how do i change which to boot? as in change during boot? | 23:42 |
| neverblue | t00na: BRLTTY is a background process (daemon) which provides access to the Linux/Unix console (when in text mode) for a blind person using a refreshable braille display. | 23:42 |

| AntiUSA | rambo3, how? | 23:56 |
| icesword | ere4si, yeah,but is jwm easy | 23:56 |
| huhlig | LukeLM, it plays audio | 23:56 |
| huhlig | just the volume is almost non existant | 23:56 |
| rambo3 | !grub | AntiUSA | 23:56 |

| Odd-rationale | !debian | AntiUSA, See the last line. | 23:57 |
| ubotu | AntiUSA, See the last line.: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 23:57 |

| LukeLM | huhlig not sure then, I have an audigy and it wouldn't output any sound until i disabled the digital only switch so I thought that may be it sorry | 23:57 |
| icesword | coz debian is always not latest | 23:57 |
| huhlig | LukeLM, it seems to be something with a recent kernel | 23:57 |
| huhlig | it used to work just fine | 23:58 |

| yo_ | i've looked up and down that place | 23:59 |
| yo_ | nothing about "dual booting" without having to format my hd.. | 23:59 |
| icesword | craigevil, do you mean that i change my debian to make it allow unstable | 23:59 |
| PriceChild | yo_, yes you can. Backup all data before starting it though. | 23:59 |
| yo_ | or even backing up my files | 23:59 |
| adac | n2diy: lol...but seriously: booting just takes too long...is there no way? | 23:59 |
| yo_ | i dont have the resources to back up my files | 23:59 |
