| hischild | david_, as far as i know, you can reuse your /home partition without formatting it, and it will keep your documents over a new installation. | 00:00 |
| bizzeh | so, is anyone actualy going to answer me? why doesnt ubuntu let me use my monitor in full, and why does the installer crash on grub install? | 00:00 |
| sn00zer | bod_, i checked dd --help and it didn't list -r as a valid switch, i'll try it tho | 00:00 |

| avis | smokan, that will comment it out | 00:01 |
| bod_ | sn00zer, check the man page aswell | 00:02 |
| hischild | david_, in that case i would suggest to create a new partition, dump your /home on that, then resize your partition to a more suitable size, dump your home back, then reinstall | 00:02 |
| bizzeh | _Oz_: first put ubuntu install cd in, wouldnt let me pick my full res (1680x1050), would only let me use 1400x1050, then i had to apt-get fglrx for it to even show a gui at all... now i have waited for nearly a hour for this thing to install, and it has crashed at grub install | 00:02 |

| arrrghhh | so | 00:07 |
| bizzeh | run the install again? and sit through the hour again? | 00:07 |

It just froze up; screen showed my windows, etc, but mouse and pointer didn't work, ctrl-alt-shift-f1 didn't work, ctrl-alt-backspace didn't work, ctrl-alt-del didn't work, finally had to hold the power button down and reboot. | 00:10 |

| bizzeh | its just sat there | 00:11 |

| _Oz_ | bizzeh: I've been there, in that aggravating mental state that you're in now, many times. All I can say is, there's a pretty easy way out, if you'll just accept the solution and not worry too much about whether it fits your version of what's right or not. | 00:12 |

| yo | but anyways.. why can't i share thru a LAN cable? but i can through wireless? | 00:21 |
| bod_ | !gq | yo | 00:21 |
| ubotu | yo: Please be aware your question fails to put the point across and could easily be misunderstood. Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'good' question. Cheers! | 00:21 |
| danand | yo - do you have your interface configured correctly? what about firewall? are you using firestarter? | 00:22 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bod_: was that really needed couldnt you ask the person to ask again, in my opinion that was offensive but than thats my opinion | 00:22 |
| yo | I'm trying to share files between an ubuntu pc and a windows pc. i can share files thru wireles, but not a lan cable connected directly between the two | 00:22 |
| EcoBlue | how do I get my Logitech G15 keyboard to work with Ubuntu, LCD screen and all. | 00:22 |
| arrrghhh | so... no ideas? titlebars disappear, the fix is "metacity --replace"... what's the problem? how can i permanently fix this? | 00:22 |
| JakeConklin | i'm trying to install a package through aptitude and everytime i hit "+" it asks me to put in a tree limit? what does that mean? | 00:22 |
| hischild | yo, you have to give them ip adresses first. Wlan goes via the router | 00:23 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: you running compiz? | 00:23 |
| magnetron | yo: does ping work via that ethernet cable? | 00:23 |
| danand | yo - your not going through a switch or a router? | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | yo, Ahh, the important difference there is that in one case you have a router performing DHCP | 00:23 |
| arrrghhh | _Oz_, NO... i made damn sure that desktop effects are disabled, because that's the issue everyone is having. | 00:23 |
| arrrghhh | compiz wouldn't run on this machine if it wanted to | 00:23 |
| yo | how do i ping? | 00:23 |
| hischild | yo, ping *host* | 00:24 |
| arrrghhh | yo: uh... ping <IP> | 00:24 |
| bod_ | Pirate_Hunter, sorry,.,.having the factoid changed now, me thinks it could do with a 'could you supply more information' bit | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | yo, You can either setup an ad-hoc connection or connect the two with a router of some kind ( does not need to be wireless ) | 00:24 |
| yo | k | 00:24 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: try metacity --replace & | 00:24 |
| yo | one sec lemme see | 00:24 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: next time you boot up, they should still be there | 00:24 |
| arrrghhh | _Oz_, can you tell me what the & does? | 00:24 |
| yo | yeah it works when i ping | 00:24 |
| prince_jammys | arrrghhh: puts the process in the background | 00:24 |
| Pirate_Hunter | arrrghhh: is your card even compatible to run compizfusion? | 00:24 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: makes sure it keeps running when you close the terminal window | 00:24 |
| danand | yo - type ifconfig in a terminal to see if your network cards are configured ok | 00:24 |
| arrrghhh | _Oz_, after i close the terminal, it persists. but when i reboot, it doesn't. | 00:24 |
| Jordan_U | _Oz_, Actually no it doesn't, nohup will do that though | 00:25 |
| _Oz_ | Jordan_U: ok | 00:25 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bod_: youre right but next time just ask them to rephrase the question or expand on the details please | 00:25 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: I had this problem and running that command plus rebooting seemed to fix it for good, although I had the problem WITH compiz | 00:25 |
| n2diy | danand: thanks. | 00:25 |
| arrrghhh | _Oz_, hrm... ok i'll see what that does. thanks. | 00:25 |
| n2diy | danand: thanks, but still no sounds. | 00:25 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: are you using a theme manager? | 00:25 |
| Bart825 | anyone know anything udev | 00:26 |

| arrrghhh | _Oz_, i don't believe so... nothing that doesn't already come with plain ubuntu. i was using xfce on this machine, but the configuration files kept getting screwed up and the menubars would get wonky on her. | 00:26 |
| Bart825 | i am having issues with my network interfaces, i think it may be down to udev | 00:26 |
| yo | what am i looking for denand? | 00:26 |
| yo | denand what am i looking for in ifconfig? | 00:26 |
| Bart825 | they change name after a reboot | 00:27 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: xcfe is completely removed? | 00:27 |
| Pirate_Hunter | bod_: maybe you should follow the example of prince_jammys, well thats just an idea | 00:27 |
| danand | n2diy - :( uh oh. do you get any sound if you do cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp ?? Press ctrl+c to stop that if you do :) | 00:27 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: one more thing | 00:27 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: type "gnome-panels" | 00:27 |

| arrrghhh | _Oz_, what does "gnome-panels" do | 00:27 |

| Bart825 | Anyone help with my udev, interface issue | 00:28 |
| prince_jammys | lol | 00:28 |
| arrrghhh | _Oz_, i can't test it now, but i will when my friend gets home. i'm helping a friend of mine convert to linux. | 00:28 |
| danand | n2diy - "clock noise" - you should hear static! | 00:28 |
| MitchM | Flannel: persay. | 00:28 |
| _Oz_ | arrrghhh: ok, I'm betting that will work | 00:29 |
| MitchM | Flannel: there is a command that show when a package was compiled/packaged. | 00:29 |
| MitchM | apt-get --show-me-info <package> sort of deal. | 00:29 |
| arrrghhh | _Oz_, ok thanks. | 00:29 |
| Flannel | MitchM: well, the changelog will. | 00:29 |
| Flannel | MitchM: I don't think there's a date in any of the package fields though | 00:29 |
| bod_ | ?? | 00:29 |
| Flannel | MitchM: Or at least, not that I see. | 00:30 |
| n2diy | danand: same thing. :) I ran the cat command, and it says device or resource busy. | 00:30 |
| Bart825 | how do you find out what version of udev im running | 00:30 |
| MitchM | Flannel: thanks though ;) | 00:30 |
| Flannel | MitchM: You can find out when by looking at the changelog though. Packages.ubuntu.com is the easiest place I know to get it (synaptic might have it as well, I suppose) | 00:31 |
| n2diy | danand: I think I have a lock file to delete, any idea where it is? | 00:31 |
| danand | n2diy - bah... how about cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio | 00:31 |

| billenium | Pirate_Hunter: Okay... What should i search? | 00:35 |
| joejojo | hey everyone | 00:35 |
| puff | n2diy: I haven't been able to find a sound server lock file, I suspect it's actually in memory, maybe in kernel space (if I understand what's going on correctly). | 00:35 |

| AtticStorm | Jordan_U: Thanks again. | 00:37 |

| billenium | Im trying to reinstall ubuntu... I made a few errors i cant easily undo... So im using unetbootin to reinstall (CD drive does not work) | 00:37 |
| bod_ | hischild, good start | 00:38 |
| hischild | bod_, ........gdm .... DARN! :( | 00:38 |
| billenium | i tried to install unetbootin and got errors, so i tried 5 more times... same error, now i decided to try again and it said i needed to free up /boot space | 00:38 |
| puff | But dangit, I shouldhave more disk than this... I have 32GB assigned to the liknux partition, it says I'm using 29GB, jdiskreport says I'm using 20GB. So where's the other 9GB? | 00:38 |
| Klaim | hello | 00:38 |
| bod_ | hischild, what? | 00:38 |
| Pirate_Hunter | billenium: kk, why doesnt your CDRom drive work? and what about using USB? | 00:39 |
| hischild | bod_, first attempt was with quiet and splash on ... which failed .... | 00:39 |
| hischild | second attempt was without splash and quiet, got better, but still failed | 00:39 |
| puff | Ohwait, jdiskreport says I'm using 26GB, and 1.6GB empty. Still, there's 4.5GB somewhere... | 00:39 |
| billenium | Long long story... and im guessing the USB will not work since my BIOS is about 8 or 9 years old | 00:39 |
| bod_ | hischild, what failed (specifically) | 00:39 |
| Klaim | i have an ubuntu server with some subversion repository and trac projects (with apache) | 00:39 |
| hischild | bod_, just the same ... as soon as it should show gdm it reboots | 00:40 |
| Pirate_Hunter | billenium: im starting to wonder if you know what your doing there must be another option to installing ubuntu clean on the hd | 00:40 |
| hischild | no warning, no error, just reboot | 00:40 |
| billenium | I dont know any other options :P | 00:40 |
| Klaim | i want the server to backup the svn repository, the trac data and apache config every day | 00:40 |
| Klaim | what would you use to do it? | 00:40 |
| hischild | Klaim, crontab :-) | 00:40 |
| bod_ | hischild, boot straight past gdm,.,.i think you can do that (auto login) did you install restricted drivers for the card? | 00:40 |
| Klaim | i heard about bacula and rsync this far, but not sure if it's good for it | 00:41 |

| Jordan_U | xconvergexx, Unfortunately things like USB modems don't have very good Linux support :( | 00:42 |

| hischild | Jordan_U, <3 for you, thanks | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, np | 00:46 |

| bod_ | hischild, what plan are we on now,.,.f? | 00:48 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, yeah ... | 00:48 |
| Bart825 | one of my interfaces used to be eth5, and i set the interfaces file to put it in promisc mode, all was well. the other day i rebooted the machine and it put this interface to eth2 and tried giving it a dhcp address. when i changed my interface file to put eth 2 to promisc when i reboot, eth5 comes up | 00:48 |
| hischild | bod_, eehm ... i think this was e ... now we gotta think of an f | 00:48 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, You can also run GUI apps remotely with another machine using ssh -X | 00:48 |
| danand | n2diy - man fuser :) - not sure it'll help but its the command i was trying to think of | 00:49 |
| javiergarza | Hi, i have a problems whit my laptop my touchpad don't works correctly , the scroll not works :S | 00:49 |
| Bart825 | so do i need to add perm entries to iftab | 00:49 |
| Pirate_Hunter | BillyJoe: you should start by stating what modem youve got (model type etc) and ppl might be able to help you | 00:49 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, not all the info at once :p my brain might explode :p | 00:49 |
| n2diy | danand: ok. | 00:49 |
| bod_ | hischild, autologin? | 00:49 |
| hischild | bod_, how2enable? | 00:49 |
| bod_ | hischild, dude, ur in a help channel,.,.ask! | 00:49 |
| alsadk | archman take a look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57648/ | 00:49 |
| hischild | i just did! | 00:49 |
| hischild | :p | 00:49 |
| Bart825 | one of my interfaces used to be eth5, and i set the interfaces file to put it in promisc mode, all was well. the other day i rebooted the machine and it put this interface to eth2 and tried giving it a dhcp address. when i changed my interface file to put eth 2 to promisc when i reboot, eth5 comes up | 00:49 |
| hischild | alright another one for the channel --> how to enable auto login from command line :-) | 00:50 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Bart825: i understood what youre saying but I do not see the problem as it seems to be working but I dont know what you want to do | 00:50 |
| SpudDogg | Does anyone know if I'll get 64-bit benefits in transcode if I install ubuntu64? | 00:50 |
| BillyJoe | I have the dell draft N mini-card http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 is the instruction I have found, but it requires a LOT of packages to be installed, so I was wondering if there was a place to down load a large number at once, instead of all of them individualy | 00:50 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, What is the main problem you are trying to solve? | 00:50 |
| archman | alsadk: dunno, is your gtk all set? (i'm a noob) | 00:51 |
| Bart825 | Priate_hunter:where is the system setting the interface to dhcp and to eth2 it just seems random | 00:51 |
| alsadk | i have a problem on compile a program take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57648/ | 00:51 |
| SpudDogg | !64-bit | 00:51 |
| ubotu | AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information. | 00:51 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, i'm trying to get my nvidia 8600 GT working properly. Currently it flashes the GDM screen before it dies down for a reboot without warning | 00:51 |
| Pirate_Hunter | BillyJoe: if thats the case probably not unless you try synaptic and see if it helps | 00:51 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, so perhaps that auto loggin in past gdm might fix it :-) | 00:51 |
| bod_ | Jordan_U, his gdm screen reboots machine,. need to get loed in to install gcard drivers, so gdm doesnt crash | 00:51 |
| plux | BillyJoe: apt-get install package1 package2 package3 package4 .... will download them at once | 00:51 |
| Klaim | thanks, see ya | 00:51 |
| alsadk | archman what about gtk ? | 00:52 |
| matthias | My player in ubuntu 7.10 have colors like green human ratherthan normal | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, Have you tried changing "nvidia" to "nv" or "vesa" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 00:52 |
| Bart825 | Priate_Hunter: my question really is where and how do you set the network interfaces | 00:52 |
| archman | alsadk: did you install gtk? | 00:52 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, not yet, let me try ... sec | 00:52 |
| Jordan_U | matthias, Do you have an ATI card | 00:52 |
| archman | alsadk: apt-get install build-essential | 00:52 |
| matthias | yes | 00:52 |
| matthias | jordan ... | 00:52 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Bart825: Admin>Network tools should have the necessities for you to change what you want to change but I can forsee you making things worse | 00:52 |
| matthias | jordan yes i do ati1400 ... | 00:53 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, wait, that shouldn't make a difference ... it always reboots on gdm, wether it's the live cd, a clean system or anything else :S | 00:53 |
| amenado | Bart825-> paste in pastebing..do this, /sbin/ip a; then cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 00:53 |

| Jordan_U | hischild, At a console | 00:56 |

| alsadk | i have a problem on compile a program take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57648/ | 00:57 |
| Bart825 | Priate Hunter:im trying to understand why my machine reports different interfaces on each reboot and make it stable along with trying to get a base knowlegde so i can fix it | 00:57 |
| xconvergexx | I am waiting | 00:57 |
| billy | is there any way to ping an ip thru a specific hardware device (ie wireless vs LAN)? | 00:57 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, Ahh, Ok go to recovery console but DO NOT run startx yet | 00:57 |
| archman | yo_: hey | 00:57 |

| vbabiy-laptop | Hey guys how would I setup a thumb drive to always use the name foo when it mounts on any machine. | 00:58 |
| archman | billy: no | 00:58 |
| zero88 | Ok. For some reason, every time i boot up, my computer automatically mounts my other partitiojn. why is that and how do i stop it from doing that? | 00:58 |
| BillyJoe | with synaptic you can chose to just download the packages, dose any one know how to tell were they down loaded to? | 00:58 |
| mondo1932 | fstab | 00:58 |
| billy | because for some reason i can share files through wireless and not a lan cable directly connected.. | 00:58 |
| Bart825 | billy: ping -I eth0 192.10.0.0 | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, I am not sure if this will work, and I am not sure how to get to the equivelent of a higher runlevel in Ubuntu, but try su'ing to your user then running startx | 00:58 |
| brapse | my xorg keeps booting with Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.failsafe" | 00:58 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Bart825: kk, maybe could it be that it is on roaming instead of fixed but than I dont worry about it since mine is eth1 | 00:58 |
| brapse | mthow do i stio that? | 00:58 |
| n2diy | danand: no luck, and I tried it with alsa and sound too. | 00:59 |
| xconvergexx | somebody help me | 00:59 |
| xconvergexx | !!!!!!!!!!!! | 00:59 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, alright ... any idea on how to switch to my user? | 00:59 |
| Pirate_Hunter | BillyJoe: depends on the program but thats a good question even I would like to know | 00:59 |
| archman | yo: you got ndiswrapper working? | 00:59 |
| billy | !ask | xconvergexx | 00:59 |
| ubotu | xconvergexx: 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. :-) | 00:59 |

| billy | yes archman | 00:59 |
| billy | im on the ubuntu comp right now | 00:59 |
| xconvergexx | my usb modem doesnt working on UBUNTU 7.10 | 00:59 |
| danand | n2diy - have you tried reboot? | 00:59 |
| archman | yo: yo=billy ? | 00:59 |
| billy | and i said eff it with ndiswrapper.. i just used bcm43xx thingy to unwrap a driver | 00:59 |
| Bart825 | priate_hunter:my system has 6 interfaces you see so i need to make sure it reports the same one each time. | 00:59 |
| billy | yes archman | 01:00 |
| `Zigosity | Hey, does anyone know how to remove the password prompt I'm getting when sharing files between my ubuntu box and windows XP? It's sort of annoying. | 01:00 |
| AtomicSpark | xconvergexx: you should never hook a modem to your computer directly. always use a router to protect your network by nat. | 01:00 |
| Bart825 | xxconvergexxx: does it reconise it as a mount point | 01:00 |
| archman | billy: ok then | 01:00 |
| n2diy | danand: no, I'd like to preserve my uptime, but that may be the solution. I'm going to log out and in, maybe that will do it? BRB. | 01:00 |
| xconvergexx | I dont have a router modem | 01:01 |
| billy | archman: lol. do you have any advice about setting up a LAN between these two via a patch cable? my routers do automatic crossover so i don't have to worry about crossover vs patch cables | 01:01 |
| AtomicSpark | `Zigosity: if you mount the drive (connect to server...) instead of finding it through network, you can tell it to save your password. | 01:01 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, nvm, i should look better before asking ... startx you said? | 01:01 |
| archman | billy: now it will be a lot easier for you to install aditional softwaer | 01:01 |
| billy | lol yes archman | 01:01 |
| archman | billy: dunno | 01:01 |
| Pirate_Hunter | I believe that probably half of all problems here can be sorted by doing some online research in google or the ubuntu forum yet no most dont do that :( | 01:01 |
| amenado | Bart825-> paste in pastebin..do this, /sbin/ip a; then cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 01:01 |
| billy | anyone have any advice? | 01:01 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, Yes, after you are logged in as "you" | 01:01 |
| danand | Pirate_Hunter - or man .... | 01:02 |
| stormze1 | I need help configuring the nvidia driver. Can anyone assist? I've been messing with it for hours now. | 01:02 |
| archman | billy: dont know much about hardware; software's my thing | 01:02 |
| `Zigosity | AtomicSpark: I knew that, but last time I set up this network I somehow removed the password prompt entirely and I don't remember how I did that. | 01:02 |
| billy | mm | 01:02 |
| Jordan_U | n2diy, If you want to get as close to a reboot while ( probably though I am not 100% sure ) keeping your uptime try "sudo init 1", what problem are you having though? | 01:02 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, su'd to my user, typed startx ... error'd :( "X: user not authorized to run the x server, aborting" | 01:02 |
| Pirate_Hunter | danand: funny enough I dont use man which is weird I liek to do things the long way never been to reading manual :( | 01:02 |
| billy | how do i tell when using iwconfig which is my ethernet and which is my wireless? | 01:03 |
| amenado | billy can you read the result, there should be some clue or hints | 01:03 |
| billy | what do i look for? | 01:03 |
| archman | billy: iwconfig is all wireless | 01:03 |
| amenado | billy try and issue then read the result, its pretty obvious | 01:03 |
| billy | ifconfig i mean | 01:03 |
| stormze1 | how can I test my sound? | 01:04 |
| Bart825 | whats the paste bin address | 01:04 |

| Mega_byte | hi all, is there any tool for windows which can read synaptic package download scripts? I want to download Ubuntu updates from a windows machine and know it can be done through a custom made program but wondering if there aren't any ready tools for this | 01:06 |
| billy | i got a ping from my eth0, which i believe is my LAN.. i hope. | 01:06 |
| J-a-K-e | just wondering if anyone can tell me, does ubuntu have sound drivers that compare to those available to windows users? | 01:06 |
| shem | Remote Desktop Help anyone? How do I find the full name of this machine? | 01:06 |
| archman | billy: probably | 01:06 |
| amenado | Bart825-> do that again...leave a space after my nick | 01:07 |
| J-a-K-e | im talking in terms of quality | 01:07 |
| Bart825 | amendo:there was no inet in the rules under udev. do you think i could make these interfaces perm by modifying the iftab file | 01:07 |
| Mega_byte | J-a-K-e: you can use windows drivers in ubuntu | 01:07 |
| Bart825 | amendo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57650/ | 01:07 |
| Pirate_Hunter | Mega_byte: first time ive read someone making this kind of request cant help but its interesting | 01:07 |
| danand | n2diy - _something_ was using that sound.... wonder why fuser didn't show it ... at least your sounds back though :) what gives with the uptime ... you going for a world record? | 01:07 |
| matthias | anyone knows how to get rid of the smurf effect from the vide player in ubuntu 7.10 | 01:08 |
| J-a-K-e | Mega_byte: how would i go about doing that | 01:08 |
| amenado | Bart825-> can you also list your /etc/udev/udev.d/ ? | 01:08 |
| archman | matthias: ccsm? | 01:09 |
| amenado | Bart825-> can you also list your /etc/udev/rules.d rather | 01:09 |
| billy | how do i find the MAC address of my NIC? | 01:09 |
| Mega_byte | Pirate_Hunter, that particular ubuntu machine is just isn't connected on internet and the only way to get updates for it is to use windows, there is a topic on the forums, but everyone seems to run the package download script on other ubuntu (or gnu/linux) connected machines | 01:09 |
| matthias | no the movie player in ubuntu 7.10 | 01:09 |
| billenium | neftune: what did you say? i kind of missed it :P | 01:09 |
| Mega_byte | J-a-K-e, it's easy all you have to do is to install ndiswrapper and load your windows driver there | 01:09 |
| n2diy | danand: roger that. No, not going for a record, but I do like to brag about uptime. | 01:09 |
| Bart825 | Amendo: its not there | 01:09 |
| Odd-rationale | matthias: you mean totem ? | 01:09 |
| matthias | the same in the vlc player but more stable when playing ... | 01:09 |
| amenado | Bart825-> can you also list your /etc/udev/rules.d/ this is a directory | 01:09 |
| archman | matthias: you can maybe tweak it with ccsm (compizconfig settings manager) | 01:09 |
| neftune | billenium, wrong tab completion | 01:09 |
| danand | n2diy - brag away... :) what you got? | 01:09 |
| fragmede | billy: "ifconfig eth0" (assuming its eth) | 01:10 |
| matthias | where do i find that ome ? | 01:10 |
| matthias | that one ... archman | 01:10 |
| fragmede | billy: hwaddr is your mac | 01:10 |
| Mega_byte | J-a-K-e, I used this method to install a driver for my wireless card | 01:10 |

| matthias | ok | 01:10 |
| J-a-K-e | i just did a sound quality between itunes (with passthrough to foobar+asio) and amarok. Music in itunes sounds more open cymbals sound better etc. | 01:10 |
| Odd-rationale | matthias: try !ccsm | 01:11 |
| Mega_byte | khalood, I had the same problem while installing, check first the md5 hashes | 01:11 |
| amenado | khalood-> what were you doing? | 01:11 |
| danand | n2diy - tut tut - what about global warming :D | 01:11 |
| Bart825 | Does anyone know what the difference is between the 2 rx`s in ifconfig on a promisc interface | 01:11 |
| Mega_byte | khalood, and also what version do you try to install the new beta or the 7.04? | 01:11 |

| Mega_byte | amenado, no problems :) | 01:12 |
| danand | n2diy - i dunno .... the earths getting warmer - the junk science is someone saying its _definately_ due to human action... | 01:13 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, if they are empty, you can delete them and resize the other partitions. | 01:13 |
| Mega_byte | usually that happens when the iso is broken | 01:13 |

| jordan_ | matthias, Yes, it's a bug in ATI's drivers, run "gstreamer-properties"... | 01:14 |
| n2diy | danand: Not so sure about that. 100 years of data is an awful small baseline to work from. | 01:14 |
| jordan_ | hischild, There is probably a more official way to do this but try running "mv /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/init.d/gdm_disabled" and reboot, when you reboot GDM should not start at all | 01:14 |
| jordan_ | hischild, To set it back simply rename the file back to "gdm": sudo mv /etc/init.d/gdm_disabled /etc/init.d/gdm | 01:14 |
| Bart825 | amenado: sorry, is there a quick way to get to paste bin | 01:14 |

| hischild | Jordan_U, aight lets try :-) | 01:16 |
| Darkmystere | willis_: its about 39gigs of emptyness.. | 01:16 |
| amenado | Bart825-> can you also list your /etc/udev/rules.d/ this is a directory ..you forgot? | 01:16 |
| khalood | I have checked them | 01:16 |
| matthias | i will try that 1:st i get back when done ... | 01:16 |

| Nick-O | anyone have ideas? | 01:17 |
| khalood | hash : 9a4ae3cfd68911a861d094ec834c9b48 | 01:17 |
| Nick-O | anythign not intuitive otherwise i'll just do it | 01:17 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, theres empty partitions.. then theres partitions that have SOME empty space. :) it all depends on exactly what you got. and exactly what you want to do. | 01:17 |
| danand | matthias - ccsm is in the universe repository - check you have that repo enables | 01:17 |
| LAsT | amenado i don't understand you< i'm russian xD | 01:17 |
| danand | matthias - s/enables/enabled | 01:17 |
| gpled | Nick-O: think each distro will add to grub. except vista | 01:17 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, ive had to resize/expand/move/ and do some other song and dance befor to get things just right on my systems. | 01:18 |
| Bart825 | Amenado > its at the bottom | 01:18 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, still bad luck :( dies into reboot | 01:18 |
| Darkmystere | willis_: Unallocated space is 39.9Gigs.. above that is swap of course below the unallocated is backtrack then below that is extended aka ubuntu.. | 01:18 |
| Nick-O | yeah, but i've got that set up. so i shoudl be good. thanks | 01:18 |
| khalood | where is mega or any body can hep | 01:18 |
| prince_jammys | Nick-O: you could try to install inside ubuntu and chroot into it? maybe | 01:18 |
| Nick-O | i'll try that if i have problems | 01:18 |
| Darkmystere | i just want to get the empty space to the bottom :/ | 01:18 |
| khalood | i have ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso and wubi 7.04 .... why it tries to download a new iso ??? | 01:18 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, i tend to only use primary partitions these days. Swap partition is easy to move. I alwyas stick them at one end of the hd. | 01:18 |
| matthias | okey when i run sudo apt-get update i get errpr like /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open resource temporarely unavaliable ... .. | 01:18 |
| Bart825 | Amenado: could i not just change the iftab in etc or should i resolve through udev | 01:19 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, Does gdm start? | 01:19 |
| archman | matthias: you have ccsm in add/remove | 01:19 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, nope, yet it dies into reboot | 01:19 |
| archman | matthias; run as sudo | 01:19 |
| Darkmystere | willis_: lol what is the swap for i never figured that out :/ | 01:19 |
| Bart825 | Amenado: i noticed this happened after installing snort | 01:19 |
| matthias | i did | 01:19 |
| amenado | Bart825-> udev is your key | 01:19 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, swap for extra memory when needed. | 01:19 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, strange | 01:19 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, wait now it's mentioned... does it matter wether i installed it all into a logical or extended (or w/e you call them ) partition? | 01:19 |
| Bart825 | Amenado : what did the udec rules look like | 01:19 |
| Darkmystere | wilis_: Fake ram or... like room for downloading or what ever if you run close to end of space? | 01:20 |
| matthias | i have community-main open source software(universe) with check mark ... | 01:20 |

| LAsT | archman how to do "make"? | 01:24 |
| babika | hi all | 01:24 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, expanding a extended partition with gparted may cause an issue. it will most likely change the UUID of the filesystem also. | 01:25 |
| babika | i have installed in my box apache and php | 01:25 |
| prince_jammys | todd_: avidemux is one possibility | 01:25 |
| babika | but my php cant read php file | 01:25 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, Not sure about converting to a primary. :) that will proberly change the UUID also. | 01:25 |
| babika | check it :http://80.80.174.45/ | 01:25 |
| archman | LAsT: cd to source folder, do ./configure, then make | 01:25 |

| archman | matthias: advanced desktop effets | 01:26 |
| matthias | no does not show up let me restart the computer and see if appears ... | 01:26 |
| Darkmystere | willis_: Can you tell me where to get a bootable version of Partion magic if it leads to that because i moved a partion under the extended before anyways the extended is partion magics work.. | 01:26 |
| todd_ | prince_jammys: all I want to do is "trim" movies is there a better one? | 01:26 |
| prince_jammys | todd_: there's also kdenlive (kde based) and some more. i forget the main one for gnome | 01:27 |
| willis_ | Darkmystere, take partition magic and throw it in the trash. - go get one of the 'gparted' live cd's | 01:27 |

| Pirate_Hunter | willis_: nice way to put it :D | 01:27 |
| matthias | archman found it compizconfig manager ... | 01:27 |

| prince_jammys | todd_: very little. avidemux is kind of a pain, though it probably does the best job. kdenlive is more intuitive | 01:31 |
| rhineheart_m | can you recommend DMZ setting to ubuntu box? | 01:31 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, What if you log in in failsafe mode, or terminal mode ( whatever it's called, doesn't start gnome at all just gives you an xterm window ) | 01:31 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: DMZ settings? | 01:31 |
| rhineheart_m | puff: yeah | 01:31 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: Meaning? | 01:32 |
| todd_ | prince_jammys: what is the command to install stuff again??? | 01:32 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, failsafe mode? xterm window? those things are new ... | 01:32 |
| archman | alsadk: can't you go with make? | 01:32 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, You can get more login options by clicking on "session" | 01:32 |
| alsadk | no | 01:32 |
| todd_ | prince_jammys: what is the command to install stuff again??? I tried apt install avidemux and no go | 01:32 |
| prince_jammys | todd_: kdenlive *may* require that you also install a few extra libraries, but that shouldn't be problem. sudo apt-get install kdenlive avidemux <--would install them both | 01:32 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, very well, will try | 01:33 |
| matthias | archman the option for video player does not contain too much of setting for video playback ... | 01:33 |

| puff | rhineheart_m: The usage of the term "DMZ" that I'm familiar with is where you set up a semi-public network that you put your public webservers on. Effectively you have: internal net <-> internal firewall <-> DMZ server <-> external firewall <-> public internet. | 01:33 |
| archman | matthias: dunno...... | 01:33 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: Is this what yo're talking about? | 01:33 |

| jinx099 | solexious, just try ./bin.bin | 01:34 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: As for an SSL cert, you can generate and issue your own SSL cert, but users will see a popup saying that the CA (Certificate Authority) is not a known CA (the browsers come with known CA certs installed). | 01:34 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, i'm almsot starting to think that my gfx card is blowing this whole story ... :( | 01:35 |

| rhineheart_m | puff: thanks puff for that explanation. how about the DMZ thing? | 01:35 |
| archman | aib: maybe shutting down the interface and then up? | 01:35 |

| mysterycool | Lame: lol love ur nick :D | 01:38 |
| rhineheart_m | puff: the internet cannot access the private network if the DMZ has been enabled and all ports have been forwarded to one computer | 01:38 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: I am not sure what you mean. The only use of "DMZ" in this context that I know of is as a general security concept, I don't know of a particular DMZ package or setting or anything. | 01:38 |
| Devourer | If I switch users will any of my programs on the current user disappear? | 01:38 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, hmm ... you have an alternate idea? i'm willing to give hardy a shot ... (it's only 2,40 am here, so yeah i've got time :P ) | 01:38 |
| Lame | haha thanks mystercool | 01:38 |
| zero88 | archman well, lets see | 01:38 |
| solexious | got it, thank you both | 01:38 |
| Lame | yours aint so bad either | 01:38 |
| mysterycool | Lame: no really its really cool ;) | 01:38 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: Ask on #ubuntu-server. | 01:38 |
| rhineheart_m | puff: I am talking about demilitarized zone | 01:38 |
| Lame | lol | 01:38 |
| zero88 | archman, Im using ndiswrapper with my driver. I am able to scan and see networks but cannot connect | 01:38 |
| n2diy | Devourer: no, but the new user may not be able to access them. | 01:38 |
| macabro22 | Hello | 01:39 |
| matthias | zero 88: do you have ssid invisible ??? | 01:39 |
| Devourer | n2diy, how do I make a new user? | 01:39 |
| puff | rhineheart_m: yes, I know what DMZ means, and like I said, I'm familiar with usijng the term in discussing network security, but only as a general term. | 01:39 |
| archman | zero88: try using wifi-radar | 01:39 |
| zero88 | archman, Ive tried everything, from taking off the WEP to changing the name of my wireless network | 01:39 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, Hardy can only be a solution if you are willing to live with the many other problems it might cause ( and be without support since it's still not released ) | 01:39 |
| stormze1 | wow.. I had no idea an nvidia card could be so hard to set up... | 01:39 |
| matthias | sorry archman but maybe i can help a ibt ... | 01:39 |
| zero88 | archman have done that too | 01:39 |
| n2diy | Devourer: via the command line, or gui? | 01:39 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, ofcourse i'd prefer it if i could get 7.10 to work ... but i'm lost as to the cause ... | 01:39 |
| Scorp|on^ | :> | 01:39 |
| Devourer | n2diy, command line I guess. | 01:40 |
| loquitus_of_borg | Hey people. How do I pipe a command to be executed. I have a complex command that basically outputs a command. I want that command to get executed. What do I pipe to, to execute literally what is being piped? Like say find . -type f -printf "something complicated" | 01:40 |
| zero88 | archman theres something missing somewhere | 01:40 |
| macabro22 | I am willing to compile the latest alsa drivers but I am wondering if there's a place I can get a precompiled deb package for the version 1.0.16 instead | 01:40 |
| hischild | stormze1, you're talking about my box? | 01:40 |
| n2diy | Devourer: adduser | 01:40 |
| Devourer | n2diy, thanks. | 01:40 |
| puff | zero88: Are you testing this with an access point that you control? | 01:40 |
| LjL-Temp | loquitus_of_borg, well, "find" has an -exec option that you can use instead of -printf | 01:40 |
| macabro22 | anyone? | 01:40 |
| stormze1 | I need help setting up the nvidia drivers. Everything I've tried has resulted in either a blank screen, or very large screen resolution. | 01:40 |
| zero88 | puff yes that is correct | 01:40 |
| LjL-Temp | loquitus_of_borg: but generally speaking, typing $(command) results in the output of command being executed as a command | 01:40 |
| loquitus_of_borg | LjL-Temp: except it does not give me alot of flexibility in how to format the filename. | 01:40 |
| Jordan_U | hischild Has it always been doing this since you installed? | 01:40 |
| n2diy | macabro22: google? | 01:41 |
| Lame | anyone else trying the daily builds? | 01:41 |
| archman | twas a pleasure, gusy, good night... | 01:41 |
| billenium | !LAMP | 01:41 |
| puff | zero88: Okay, wanted to eliminate other possible culprits first :-). | 01:41 |
| zero88 | puff I cant set my wlan0 essid without associating with the network. | 01:41 |
| IanLiu | I can see my Windows Network, but when I enter my "Home" group, I get "The Folder could not be displayed". Why is that?? | 01:41 |
| macabro22 | n2diy tried that already... no luck | 01:41 |
| zero88 | puff :) | 01:41 |
| puff | zero88: Can you connect to this access point with a different computer? | 01:41 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, i've installed it fine with a radeon x1300 since the installer of the alternate cd and the live cd died during install cq boot | 01:41 |
| zero88 | puff ya thhis is the third day straight doing his | 01:41 |
| zero88 | puff yes i can | 01:41 |
| puff | zero88: Why is that a problem (assocating with a network)? | 01:41 |
| zero88 | puff I cant obtain an ip | 01:42 |
| n2diy | macabro22: hmmm | 01:42 |
| matthias | zero88: do you use ssid invisible or what ??? | 01:42 |
| Devourer | How do I become root? | 01:42 |
| matthias | su root | 01:42 |

| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 01:42 |
| hischild | wut? | 01:42 |
| Devourer | Thanks. | 01:42 |
| alsadk | i have a problem on compile a program take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57648/ | 01:42 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, Can you clarify that last comment? | 01:42 |
| puff | Devourer: Generally speaking, you don't, on ubuntu. It is generally dis-recommended. If you really need to, "sudo bash" | 01:42 |
| matthias | what wirelesss card you have ? | 01:42 |
| hischild | ubotu is rather busy | 01:42 |
| Devourer | Oh. | 01:43 |
| IanLiu | I can see my Windows Network, but when I enter my "Home" group, I get "The Folder could not be displayed". Why is that? | 01:43 |
| zero88 | matthias im using the Realtek RTL8187b driver | 01:43 |
| puff | zero88: So, first thing, "iwlist wlan0 scan" | 01:43 |
| macabro22 | n2diy: I read somewhere hardy will have it by default. Can I somehow fetch it from hardy's repo? | 01:43 |
| matthias | ahh okey i hade a similar problem but on broadcom wireless minicard ... | 01:43 |
| LAsT | хайлайт | 01:43 |
| zero88 | puff i can scan and do see other networks other then my own | 01:43 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 01:43 |
| puff | zero88: Okay, paste it to pastebin and give us the URL. | 01:44 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, yes i can. I have tried multiple times to install ubuntu using both the alternate disc and the live cd. Both have failed. The alternate cd died during installation, shortly after selecting resolutions. The live cd dies while it tries to boot, much alike my current system does | 01:44 |
| n2diy | Devourer: don't know, I'm running Dapper 6.06 | 01:44 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about is rather busy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:44 |
| loquitus_of_borg | People... basically I am trying to execute the following for every file found: find somedir1/ -type f -printf 'cmp "%p" "somedir2/%f"\n' | 01:44 |
| zero88 | puff k | 01:44 |
| Devourer | n2diy, cool. :) | 01:44 |
| puff | zero88: You're sure your access point doesn't have any sort of mac filtering on? | 01:44 |
| khalood | can I partition my disc first before using uNetbootin ? | 01:44 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, So how did you install the current system in the first place? | 01:44 |
| puff | zero88: And you're sure you're close enough to the access point? Sometimes you can hear the access point, but the access point can't hear you. | 01:44 |
| zero88 | puff mmm not sure what you mean, but ive been able to connect before | 01:44 |
| khalood | because i'm afraid of making some thing wrong and loose my data | 01:44 |
| zero88 | puff ya 5 feet away | 01:45 |
| puff | Have you been able to connect before using this same hardware? | 01:45 |
| zero88 | !pastebin | 01:45 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, switched my gfx card out with a radeon x1300, then installed it with that gfx card ... and then later on switched the nvidia one back | 01:45 |
| zero88 | pastebin! | 01:45 |
| zero88 | wheres the pastebin link | 01:45 |
| n2diy | zero88: puff, it is possible to be _to_ close. | 01:45 |
| Devourer | What is a root number? | 01:45 |
| matthias | zero88 seems to me like either the driver is not the correct one or ndiswrapper or the other file installed at the same time is not there | 01:45 |
| zero88 | n2diy are you serious | 01:45 |
| zero88 | matthias its the right one | 01:46 |
| ubotu | 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) | 01:46 |
| n2diy | zero88: absolutely, it is called front end overload. | 01:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | zero88, be patient as the bot just got reset ;) | 01:46 |
| speeddemon8803 | there it is :) | 01:46 |
| zero88 | speeddemon8803, haha k | 01:46 |
| khalood | can I partition my hard first before using uNetbootin ? | 01:46 |
| prince_jammys | loquitus_of_borg: #bash | 01:46 |
| zero88 | n2diy was not aware of that | 01:46 |
| n2diy | zero88: a reciever is designed to listen for microwatts, if your close, you may be a hundred or a thousand times that. | 01:47 |
| prince_jammys | loquitus_of_borg: you'll probably need find -exec. go to #bash and type !find | 01:47 |
| zero88 | n2diy i see | 01:47 |
| zero88 | puff http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57654/ | 01:47 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, File a bug report, then try the hardy install CD and file another bug report :) ( I have noticed that the bug reports that I have filed against a development release are more likely to be fixed by the next stable release than those filed against the current stable, not sure if that is normal though ) | 01:47 |
| speeddemon8803 | Oh, and zero88, Pastes to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 01:48 |
| LjL-Temp | loquitus_of_borg: if $() doesn't work, then you can always "find .... | sh" | 01:48 |
| zero88 | speeddemon8803, ya i did | 01:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | thats what !pastebin would tell you to go to for paste. | 01:48 |
| zero88 | speeddemon8803, :) | 01:48 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, yeah ... i'll do that ... | 01:48 |
| speeddemon8803 | its in the topic if you ever get the bot go missing and you want to know what our pastebin site is :) | 01:48 |
| n2diy | zero88: it's like sitting in front of a fire, versus sitting _in_ the fire. | 01:49 |
| zero88 | n2diy whyle being connected with the ethernet cable, would i still be able to obtain a IP wirelessly | 01:49 |
| Jordan_U | zero88, Yes | 01:49 |
| zero88 | Jordan_U, thanks | 01:49 |
| purge_kdewallet | i am unable to purge kde wallet, i tried removing .kde/share/config/k*wallet* and nothing is working, can someone help me (its not in synaptic either)? | 01:49 |
| n2diy | zero88: are you connected to a wireless router? | 01:49 |
| yao_ziyuan | currently, only one app can take control of my audio playback at a time | 01:50 |
| yao_ziyuan | how do i make multiple apps mix their sounds at the same time? | 01:50 |
| Jordan_U | !sound | yao_ziyuan | 01:50 |
| ubotu | yao_ziyuan: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:50 |
| zero88 | n2diy yes with wires for now | 01:51 |
| matthias | zero88 what do you see if using sudo ifconfig | 01:51 |

| Housefly7k | getting an error message whenever I connect an external USB harddrive or Cdrom.... error "you are not privileged to eject this volume"...I click ok and can use the cd/harddrive after tht | 01:52 |
| n2diy | zero88: ok, you should be able to connect to other machines running wireless cards, but, you won't be able to go from router to router. | 01:52 |
| Housefly7k | Started recently , any ideas? | 01:52 |
| zero88 | n2diy im sorry, im not sure i understand | 01:52 |

| bella | hi all | 01:53 |
| emory | Does anyone know wny Mozilla Thunderbird does not have a drafts folder? I installed from Gutsy repositories... | 01:53 |
| n2diy | zero88: That's ok, I'm not sure I do either! :) The way I understand it is routers are servers, and only talk to clients, two servers won't talk to each other. | 01:53 |
| Devourer | What's a root number? I'm adding a user and it asked me for this. | 01:54 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, download initiated ... | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | purge_kdewallet: so what does sudo aptitude remove kdewallet do? | 01:54 |
| zero88 | n2diy ok. now what would be the clinet for my wireless | 01:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | nothing | 01:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | says its not installed | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | purge_kdewallet: ok, then.. its likely not installe.d | 01:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | but it keeps bugging me with kpvnc | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | oh ok. | 01:54 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, so should i file a bug report now or shall i wait till i've tried out hardy? | 01:54 |
| n2diy | zero88: a box with a wireless card. | 01:54 |
| zero88 | puff, still around | 01:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | weird, just another reason to hate KDE i guess..lol | 01:54 |
| bella | have just installed ubuntu and I am new at this have an external modem connected number is dialed but doesn't connect any Ideas? | 01:54 |
| purge_kdewallet | i don't know if it is embedded in another package, do you know the name of the binary under /usr/bin, maybe i can delete it? | 01:55 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, file now | 01:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | bella: so ubuntu is seeing the modem, and is telling ti to dial? | 01:55 |
| zero88 | n2diy im just really confused on why i can see wireless networks but cant connect to them | 01:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | purge_kdewallet: no cloue.. sorry.. don't use kde.. maybe askin #kubuntu | 01:55 |
| matthias | zero88: let me get it straight, you can see the Ap but not connect no mather what settings in the router you make ... | 01:55 |
| purge_kdewallet | ok, thanks | 01:55 |
| bella | yes indy | 01:55 |
| === {Nathan}_ is now known as {Nathan} | ||
| zero88 | matthias yes thats correct, so im assuming it has something to do on my end other then wireless settings | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | bella: well if you're not connecting, then one would think that your settings for your dialup account are wrong. | 01:56 |
| n2diy | zero88: are router won't talk to another router. You need a bridge to do that. | 01:56 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, aight will do | 01:56 |
| n2diy | are/a | 01:56 |
| zero88 | n2diy ya | 01:56 |
| bella | but I have used the same settings all along with windows | 01:56 |
| SeanInSeattle | Hey all. Does anyone know how to check to see if the broadcom wifi card driver has been installed on my laptop? | 01:56 |
| Housefly7k | i set a password for root...in my misguided efforts :)... i used "sudo passwd root" i think... any way i can reset this? | 01:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | bella: , thats very strange, sorry, i have no logical explanation for that | 01:56 |
| matthias | zero88: yes i think you are right, he only problem i hade with mine was change of driver but if you are sure you have the correct driver than there is something else ... | 01:57 |
| RyanPrior | I try to install updates but it says that there is another synaptic running. However, I don't remember starting anything else. How do I stop the other synaptic? | 01:57 |
| n2diy | SeanInSeattle: lsmod | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Housefly7k: that wasn't very bright. | 01:57 |
| matthias | zero88: let me check if i can find anything ... | 01:57 |
| Housefly7k | IndyGunFreak: yeah... i was following a tutorial online | 01:57 |
| bella | is ok Indy thanks :) | 01:57 |
| Odd-rationale | Housefly7k: I think it is "sudo passwd -l root". Maybe someone can confrim? | 01:57 |
| SeanInSeattle | n2diy: what should I be looking for there: | 01:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | Housefly7k: always trust but verify | 01:57 |
| zero88 | matthias well, on the ndiswrapper site it said for my card that the XP version only lets you see networks,but cant connect. So i installed the 2000 version and it works, but the same issue of not connecting so i wasnt sure if it had the same problem | 01:58 |
| zero88 | matthias ok | 01:58 |
| n2diy | SeanInSeattle: the make or model of the device | 01:58 |
| Housefly7k | IndyGunFreak: can you confirm Odd-rationale suggestion? | 01:58 |
| matthias | ok | 01:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | Housefly7k: i have no clue | 01:58 |
| SeanInSeattle | n2diy: I found the model, and it is listed there. | 01:58 |

| two_bits | n2diy: thanks | 02:02 |
| orbisvicis | really helpful ubotu | 02:02 |
| puff | zero88: Have you ever gotten ubuntu, etc, working with this network, as it is now configured? Also, you never answered my question: Have you been able to connect before using this same hardware? | 02:02 |
| Odd-rationale | Housefly7k: I would assume this would be similar to ubuntu, but not 100% sure... | 02:02 |

| zero88 | matthias lol its ok, ive had a handfull of people helping but its crazyness | 02:08 |
| n2diy | RyanPrior: Two!? Hmmm, write done there pid's, then enter top, when top opens, press k, then enter the pid you want to kill, and then 9 | 02:09 |
| RyanPrior | n2diy: I killed them with signal 7 instead. | 02:09 |
| spirithands | Hello. Does anyone in here have an ATI HD 2600 PCIe? I got the newest x64 fglrx drivers to work so i can have full-resolution, but nothing 3D works.. such as glxgears | 02:09 |
| n2diy | RyanPrior: did they die? | 02:10 |
| RyanPrior | n2diy: Yes, they did. | 02:10 |
| n2diy | RyanPrior: Then you should be good to go. | 02:10 |
| Mba7eth | zero88 - it didnt work :( | 02:10 |
| RyanPrior | n2diy: Now it says I have 2 broken packages. :-\ | 02:10 |
| Mba7eth | anyone ... how to bring config back an interface to dhcp using ifconfig ? | 02:11 |
| Devourer | What is the /opt directory for? | 02:11 |
| neil_d | I have written a gtk C program, what should I like too, to get it to compile ? | 02:11 |
| RyanPrior | Devourer: it's there to confuse you. | 02:11 |
| Devourer | RyanPrior, it has done it's job. :D | 02:12 |
| zero88 | mba7eth i think you have to change the /etc/netowrk/interfaces file | 02:12 |
| RyanPrior | neil_d: You can use gcc to compile it. Install the package build-essential. | 02:12 |
| Starnestommy | neil_d: is libgtk2.0-dev installed? | 02:12 |
| n2diy | RyanPrior: Well, reinstall them. I don't know how, or why, you could of had two version of Synaptic running at the same time. | 02:12 |
| zero88 | mba7eth try sudo ifconfig eth0 dhcp, then sudo ifdown eth0, sudo ifup eth0 | 02:13 |
| zero88 | mba7eth assuming your interface is eth0 | 02:13 |
| Devourer | neil_d, you would probably want to use pkg-config as well. | 02:13 |
| zero88 | mba7eth also doing it like that only sets it for the current session | 02:14 |
| Mba7eth | zero88 Just want it for this session :) | 02:15 |
| zero88 | did it work | 02:15 |
| RyanPrior | n2diy: Thanks for the suggestion - I was hoping to find a way to use synaptic to find out what the problem was, but killing them worked out okay in the end. | 02:15 |
| neil_d | Starnestommy: yes | 02:15 |
| Mba7eth | zero88 brb :) one moment | 02:16 |
| zero88 | mba7eth k | 02:16 |
| neil_d | Devourer: ok, what args should I pass to pkg-config | 02:16 |
| n2diy | RyanPrior: Roger that. It's still a puzzle how you could have started two versions of synaptic, the system shouldn't let you do that. | 02:16 |
| Devourer | neil_d, gcc -std=c99 -Wall -g main.c -o helloworld $$(pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0) $$(pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0) | 02:17 |
| Devourer | neil_d, it would actually by $(...) instead of $$(...) | 02:17 |
| Devourer | be* | 02:17 |

| puff | matias: Thanks... gnome/x froze up on me. DAngit. | 02:23 |
| puff | zero88: Okay, so next question, have you ever connected to a WPA network with your current hardware/release? | 02:24 |
| stormze1 | Anyone know how to get the nvidia drivers working with an Nvidia 7950 GT card? | 02:24 |
| ph0rensic | stormze1, use the restricted manager | 02:25 |
| puff | zero88: Wait, rereading what you said, it sounds like you have the same PC, newer access point, and also anew network card (in the PC?) | 02:25 |
| stormze1 | ph0rensic: Doesn't work. | 02:25 |
| matthias | mop: what have you done so far ? | 02:25 |
| sunogbaga | !root | 02:26 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 02:26 |
| sunogbaga | !root account | 02:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about root account - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:27 |
| mop | matthias, b4 i was working with wired lan and this is easy for me, today i want to convert to wifi, i get access point + pci cards, i plug pci into the system and i don't know if i need to configure anything or what | 02:27 |
| Kuwanger | Hello. I'd like to crop an 8-bit png image from the command line without the palette changing. What's the simplest program to do this with? | 02:27 |
| eshaase | does ubuntu come pre-installed with any type of vnc software? | 02:27 |
| ph0rensic | stormze1, why not? I had that card before... and it worked | 02:27 |
| Cpudan80 | eshaase: Yes | 02:27 |
| zero88 | puff no only a WEP wich is mine, but i do have the option of WPA, and yes connected only once, untill a reboot and havent been able to sence | 02:27 |
| stormze1 | Hmm.. that might be a clue. I take it you had it for a previous version of the driver? | 02:27 |
| Bibbie | is there a terminal command to monitor tempature of hardware? | 02:27 |
| Cpudan80 | eshaase: You've got a vncviewer (tight-vnc compatible) you can use --- as a server, there is an easy way to set it up | 02:28 |
| stormze1 | ph0rensic: Could be complicated by the fact that my display is DVI? | 02:28 |
| CarlFK | anyone know of a deb for http://www.video4linux.org/browser/v4l2-apps ? | 02:28 |
| ph0rensic | stormze1, No shouldn't be .. perhaps there may be a setting in xorg for that .. | 02:29 |
| stormze1 | ph0rensic: As far as I know, I've got it in there already. | 02:29 |
| ph0rensic | stormze1, what happens exactly?? | 02:29 |
| matthias_ | mog: sorry my computer turned off for some reason | 02:30 |

| matthias_ | mog: what router do you have ? | 02:30 |
| stormze1 | I'm stuck in low res display, not using the nvidia driver. | 02:30 |
| mop | matthias_, wb | 02:30 |
| nickrud | prasanna: you should bring it up in #ubuntu+1, if those are both ubuntu packages it's a bug | 02:30 |
| mop | matthias_, i asking what configuration i need to do because i have no experience with wifi | 02:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Does anyone know if the color schemes for ubuntu have been decided on? | 02:31 |
| stormze1 | ph0rensic: Hmm.. . this doesn't look promising: (--) PCI:*(1:0:0) nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x0295) rev 161 | 02:31 |
| matthias_ | okey, well to startwith what router do you have ? | 02:31 |
| Jordan_U | hischild, LiveCD or alternate installation ( answer in #ubuntu+1 since this channel is only for stable version support ) | 02:31 |
| ph0rensic | stormze1, that happened to me once of the 5 times I've installed it. What I did was uninstall the nvidia driver making sure it was a complete removal, reconfigure the xorg and then reinstall the nvidia driver... | 02:31 |
| ph0rensic | stormze1, no that doesnt | 02:31 |
| eshaase | Cpudan80: VNC server software comes pre-installed with ubuntu? | 02:32 |

| speeddemon8803 | ah, well nevermind the private message then :) | 02:32 |
| Cpudan80 | eshaase: Yes, it comes preinstalled, just do system --> remote desktop | 02:32 |
| s2a | wats better? vmware or virtualbox? | 02:32 |
| Cpudan80 | Do not follow the !vnc factoid | 02:33 |
| Cpudan80 | It doesnt work right | 02:33 |
| matthias_ | okey well 1:st off you need to configure wireless by entering the wireless rputers homepage by its default ip address ... | 02:33 |
| puff | neil_d: Hm, gdm restart didn't work. The screen still has a messed up screen redraw on it. Anything else I should try before I reboot? | 02:33 |

| mop | matthias_, i didn't configure access point yet , i start to plug pci card and i want to know from where i have to start | 02:33 |
| hischild | Jordan_U, you've got your answer :-) | 02:33 |
| matthias_ | you need to connect an cable between the computer and the wireless router ... | 02:33 |
| Cpudan80 | http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2007/02/16/howto-remote-desktop-with-vnc-in-ubuntu-edgy-gnu-linux/ is a better guide | 02:33 |

| mop | yes, matthias_ yes, the router already configured and working, i have to configure Access point, this i can read and follow, in structions my question related to the pci card, should i do anything on the computer ? | 02:35 |
| pat_ | who can tell me how to install minitab on unbuntu 6.06 | 02:35 |
| eshaase | Cpudan80: but it comes disabled? | 02:35 |
| ph0rensic | s2a, they are both good | 02:35 |
| Cpudan80 | eshaase: Yes | 02:35 |
| crow | how do I compile simple c++ programs? | 02:35 |
| J-a-K-e | anyone? | 02:35 |
| matthias_ | yes check 1:st to see if ubunto find the wireless card and if it can install the driver for it or you have likethe rest of us look for drivers to the card ... | 02:35 |
| speeddemon8803 | s2a, personal preference, you would have to try both to see what suits you better. | 02:36 |
| matthias_ | go to .. | 02:36 |
| Cpudan80 | crow: g++ file.cpp -o myExecutable | 02:36 |
| ph0rensic | s2a, Give virtualbox a go first IMO | 02:36 |
| Cpudan80 | crow: you need the build-essential package | 02:36 |
| s2a | speeddemon8803, ph0rensic, i have dial-up and am almost done downloading virtual box...i was just asking and hoping u ppl said virtual box lol | 02:36 |
| speeddemon8803 | I agree with ph0rensic, virtualbox usually suits a lot of people..vmware can get kinda cranky. | 02:36 |
| matthias_ | system->administration.>restricted drivers manager and see if your card appears there .. | 02:36 |
| prasanna | is there a set of keys that causes an automatic log off? | 02:37 |
| s2a | my problem is i need virtual xp to see 250 gb external hd | 02:37 |

| s2a | usb | 02:37 |
| prasanna | cause i've been typing, pressed a few keys (shift and something) thats logged me off | 02:37 |
| hischild | s2a, virtualbox is a lot friendlier and easier to use then vmware, who can be a real pain in the ass to install properly | 02:37 |
| ph0rensic | s2a, why ? I doubt it will see it if your host isn't seeing it | 02:37 |
| mop | matthias_, unfortunately i don't have X, i work though consol | 02:37 |
| ph0rensic | s2a, it probably just isn't mounting | 02:37 |
| s2a | ph0rensic, my host sees it no problem | 02:37 |

| thinkpaduser | McJerry, sorry, i thought you meant image the drive, rather than a daily backup :) my bad | 02:52 |
| ph0rensic | thinkpaduser, well he does want a current image, but also wants nightly backups... | 02:52 |
| inacoma | i'm installing Ubuntu Server for the second time, i get into the installation... and after entering a host name (I'm installing LAMP server) it just hangs on the blue screen with a grey textbox at the bottom? that i can type in... but nothing is poping up? | 02:53 |
| thinkpaduser | ph0rensic, ah | 02:53 |
| s2a | ph0rensic, k, now depencies r being downloaded and wen they're done ill get bak, k? | 02:53 |
| McJerry | thinkpaduser: you were correct, i will image the drive for the configuration and then do nightly backups for the database changes | 02:53 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: what kind do you have? | 02:53 |
| thinkpaduser | McJerry, awesome. i think G4L is a great tool | 02:53 |
| thinkpaduser | McJerry, only one i know that recognizes reiserfs | 02:53 |
| inacoma | Anyone know why this is happening for me? | 02:54 |
| inacoma | :\ | 02:54 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, T60 | 02:54 |
| ph0rensic | McJerry, check out that link i sent.. it has a lot of good information regarding backup including which type is best to suite your needs (software, differential vs full, network backups etc) | 02:54 |
| ph0rensic | s2a, k | 02:54 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, and a few oldies | 02:54 |
| netron1234 | small minor tip: if you cant get urbanterror to work in gnome, try running it under icewm or fluxbox. | 02:54 |
| LAsT | where are you from? | 02:54 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: t61 here. Good puters....!ot > me | 02:54 |

| inacoma | :\ | 02:55 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i have never had a better laptop | 02:55 |
| netron1234 | jake -> try rhythmbox or amarok. | 02:55 |
| LAsT | J-a-K-e ctrl+c? =) | 02:55 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: I've heard really good things about the t60s. The t61 is a little picky with Linux, but otherwise I love it | 02:56 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it is the 'Death Star' amongst the white Apple 'Alliance' in the office! | 02:56 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i think they are the same but yours has the WAN card? | 02:56 |
| psycholvlan | does ubuntu already come with drivers for the Intel GMA X3100 video card or do you have to d/l them somewhere? | 02:56 |
| JonathanEllis | Hi. I am trying to read a cd but I get the error <The folder contents could not be displayed. You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "cdrom0".>. I can list the files using sudo ls but that doesnt help because it is an installation disc for a piece of windows software which I want to use under WINE. I read that it is a very bad idea to run WINE using sudo. Any ideas? | 02:56 |
| netron1234 | inacoma -> it means that the orbits of mars are in the wrong conjunction with scorpio. try burning some insense. | 02:56 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, Gentoo is dreamy on this one | 02:56 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: lol. I've had people ask me whether mine's REALLY REALLY old...I just boutght it!. Mine can have the WAN card. I'd run Gentoo if I had time...I can't afford to spend 24 hours updating.... | 02:57 |
| inacoma | that was clever netron, did it take you that long to come up with that? | 02:57 |
| netron1234 | jonathan _> its a scratched cd. | 02:57 |
| s2a | any1 no the exact date of 8.04? | 02:57 |
| inacoma | fucking clown. | 02:57 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, the install took a while. but that was a year ago :) | 02:57 |
| J-a-K-e | netron1234: ya... amarok hasn't got the best sound quality and rhythmbox doesn't support ldsa | 02:57 |
| LAsT | JonathanEllis o_O lol? | 02:58 |
| netron1234 | inacoma -> you gave no tech details. | 02:58 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yup...I ran Gentoo for about a year on a custom desktop....If I had time I'd still be running it, but I need a box that's actually sort of stable, hence Ubuntu | 02:58 |
| yyeago | I get an error message saying my $HOME/.drmc is being ignored | 02:58 |
| yyeago | But I don't even see a $HOME/.drmc | 02:59 |
| JonathanEllis | Netron: I dont think its a scratched cd. LAst: Didnt understand o_O lol? | 02:59 |
| spirithands | Hey guys.. i'm going nutzo here. I've got an ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe card. When I use the vesa driver, it works fine. I when through the "radeonhd" xorg driver setup procedure @ http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-641247.html and it still kicks back to the failsafe low resolution driver .. The radeonhd driver exists: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-641247.html | 02:59 |
| inacoma | ... | 02:59 |
| spirithands | What is the problem? | 02:59 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i used Ubuntu on this a few times. but to get most stuff to work (suspend, fglrx, madwifi-ng, hdapsd, thinkfinger) i needed to compile everything manually anyway so... | 02:59 |
| inacoma | What technical details do you need... | 02:59 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it wasn't easy, but it is more stable than Ubuntu ever was | 03:00 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: really? The only thing I don't have working is HDAPS because I don't have time to patch my own kernel | 03:00 |
| ForzaPalermo | anyone here good with getting ssh working properly? i am trying to get it to work using public/private keys | 03:00 |
| speeddemon8803 | inacoma, any errors that may have happened..if their longer than 1 line use the pastebin site. | 03:00 |
| netron1234 | inacoma -> a bit more than what you gave... | 03:00 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, are you using the Ubuntu stock kernel? | 03:00 |
| inacoma | speeddemon8803: no errors... | 03:01 |
| speeddemon8803 | hmmm... | 03:01 |
| inacoma | its just hangs after i type hostname, | 03:01 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: now, yes. I ran the rt kernel for a while, because I do a lot of audio stuff, but I haven't had time for that since I reinstalled. | 03:01 |
| speeddemon8803 | that could be SO many things. | 03:01 |
| speeddemon8803 | :/ | 03:01 |
| inacoma | well not hangs... just the blue installation screen with grey text area at the bottom | 03:01 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it's pretty easy to patch the sources and install your own as a .deb package | 03:01 |
| prasanna | by accident i've pressed shift and backspace a few times now, it automatically logs me out | 03:01 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, hdaps is fun even without the patch. playing Neverball anyway- tilting the laptop around as a joystick haha | 03:02 |
| netron1234 | inacoma-> kernel in ubuntu doesnt like your hardware.. try a different distro | 03:02 |
| prasanna | is there away i can disable that | 03:02 |
| ForzaPalermo | anyone here good with getting ssh working properly? i am trying to get it to work using public/private keys | 03:02 |
| N1ghtCawler | How do i "unsplit" a a screen window? | 03:02 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: the problem is that the patch for HDAPS doesn't exactly mesh with the Ubuntu kernel and I have yet to figure out why. I was talking to another Thinkpad owner who said that it's a scsi/ata issue...btw to clarify, I have HDAPS, I just don't have disk head parking | 03:02 |
| inacoma | intep pentium d | 03:03 |
| inacoma | :> | 03:03 |
| inacoma | intel | 03:03 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i ran into that | 03:03 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: and? | 03:03 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i needed to find the RIGHT patch which was a pain | 03:03 |
| netron1234 | night -> split window where? what software? | 03:03 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, and then turn some stuff around in the kernel | 03:03 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: do you happen to know which one it is? I found a bunch, but none of hte patches work with 2.6.22-14 | 03:04 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, for some reason the drive would be sda sometimes and then hda others | 03:04 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: really....I've never had THAT problem | 03:04 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i am using 2.6.24 | 03:04 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it was weird | 03:04 |
| psycholvlan | does ubuntu come in a 64 bit version? | 03:04 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, but it went away | 03:04 |
| dlsweeney | yes | 03:05 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, for your kernel i followed a link on the Thinkwiki site | 03:05 |
| psycholvlan | how you get the 64bit version? | 03:05 |
| dion | uiiiiiiiiiiii | 03:05 |
| Starnestommy | psycholvlan: the amd64 version is 64 bit | 03:05 |
| psycholvlan | oh | 03:05 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i tried one or two that weren't necessarily meant for that kernel, i remember | 03:05 |
| === dion is now known as bad_angle | ||
| bad_angle | uiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 03:05 |
| psycholvlan | it based on processor? | 03:05 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, but found one that didn't fail to patch eventually | 03:05 |
| wease| | nightcrawler: i know this sounds basic but....did you try the "auto" adjust button on your monitor? | 03:06 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yeah, if I remember correctly, there was a list of them. I tried every one and they all won't work. | 03:06 |
| aubade | Any reports of OO.o not displaying icons in the toolbars and context menus for 7.10? | 03:06 |
| psycholvlan | cuz I know in windows i need to use 64bit for my 4Gigs of RAM to show up | 03:06 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, hmmm | 03:06 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i'll see if i have it around to pastebin | 03:06 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: thz!! | 03:06 |
| psycholvlan | this ubuntu only shows 2.7Gigs | 03:07 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, if you pop up to a 2.6.24 kernel i have the right one :) | 03:07 |
| wease| | N1ghtcawler: i know this sounds basic but....did you try the "auto" adjust button on your monitor? | 03:08 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, that was a pain to find. gentoo doesn't even have it in their repos yet | 03:08 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: where did you find 24? different repo? | 03:08 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i'm on gentoo. you might not have it in yours yet? | 03:09 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: oh yea....that's what it is. | 03:09 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, rats | 03:09 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, might be a 'wait till Herdy' thing | 03:09 |
| chris0 | well, if you don't mind, pastebin your patch and I'll see if I can get a 24 kernel | 03:09 |
| s2a | ph0rensic, yo its all done | 03:09 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, ok | 03:09 |
| === dion is now known as Bad_Angl3 | ||
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: it's mainly that I haven't had time to play with it, and I dont want to screw up my machine. I've done it enough times already | 03:10 |
| ph0rensic | s2a, follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=627847 | 03:10 |

| thinkpaduser | chris0, yeah i know that feeling. i always have a 'safe' kernel in GRUB | 03:12 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, because i mess everything up almost daily | 03:12 |
| bill1 | hello? | 03:12 |
| === bill1 is now known as billy | ||
| thinkpaduser | chris0, that patch *might* work on your 2.6.22 kernel | 03:12 |
| billy | can someone help por favor? | 03:13 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, sometimes they do depending on what changes are made? | 03:13 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yep. For some reason, the main problem has been that Gutsy insists on packaging the Nvidia drivers and the Madwifi drivers together. I'm going to give the patch a try now.... | 03:13 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it is worth a shot. you can just apt-get remove --purge the sources and delete the tree if it fails | 03:13 |
| === dgtl|screen is now known as dgtlchlk | ||
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i used the madwifi-ng drivers from their website via svn | 03:13 |

| thinkpaduser | chris0, and blacklisted the ath_hal module | 03:14 |
| icesword | hi, am using virtualbox now,it said cannot lock and allocate memory,what is wrong | 03:14 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, they have a good howto for Ubuntu | 03:14 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: madwifi doesn't work for me unless I'm literally within 4 feet of an AP. So I'm using Ndiswrapper now | 03:14 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, ahh! really? | 03:14 |
| kurumin | #c4ll | 03:15 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, try the svn sources if you get time. what card do you have? | 03:15 |

| billy | howcome i can browse through my ubuntu comp from a windows comp but not vice versa? | 03:15 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: my solution was to get rid of madwifi (and nvidia), install ndiswrapper, and then install the nvidia driver from the nvidia site. | 03:16 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, is it the AR5212? (lspci will tell you if you have pciutils installed) | 03:16 |

| thinkpaduser | chris0, have you been blacklisting the Ubuntu modules when you install the website drivers? | 03:16 |
| === jd_ is now known as linuxpoet | ||

| ph0rensic | when is the /tmp folder cleared?? | 03:18 |
| bazhang | billy: probably need the ext3 drivers for windows | 03:18 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: the problem is ubuntu's setup. They try to override ndiswrapper for some reason | 03:18 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, funny. i have never had ndiswrapper work for me | 03:18 |
| klifton | I am having a problem with getting java to function in firefox. Can anyone help me to get it working? | 03:18 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, Ubuntu can be pretty pushy with it's own method, true indeed | 03:19 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i'd blacklist their stuff anyway | 03:19 |
| pyutaros | Hi there. | 03:19 |
| billy | bazhang: it only happens with lan tho, when i browse thru wireless it works fine | 03:19 |

| pyutaros | Anyone have a sec to help with a rather nasty one? | 03:20 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: I've used Gentoo, I've been there. "Oh it's only one small conf file....what's the harm in tinkering with it??" | 03:21 |

| thinkpaduser | chris0, rats | 03:22 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it will with the next release maybe? | 03:22 |

| billy | levander: np | 03:30 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: I'll probably end up doing that someday. I've rolled enough kernels.... | 03:30 |
| J-a-K-e | does anyone know how to use audio plugins with banshee? | 03:30 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: /etc/init.d/networking | 03:30 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: I made my own realtime kernels back in Fedora 2 | 03:30 |
| levander | billy: well then, if you turn off your wireless network connection, how do you think you're connecting to the network? | 03:30 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, getting the right config sucks. i will pastebin mine for you | 03:30 |
| billy | through a crossover lan cable connected to both comps | 03:30 |
| billy | im not that dumb lol | 03:30 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: thz | 03:30 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: checking | 03:30 |
| NetEcho | hey guys | 03:31 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: with configuration in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:31 |
| billy | levander: and ive done the ping command while wireless is disconnected and i get replies | 03:31 |
| speeddemon8803 | !remastersys > speeddemon8803 | 03:31 |
| Adylas | Hello ! The only user on my ubuntu box has a password with a "é" in it. But the login screen is in english ? (Unable to type é) | 03:31 |
| levander | billy: The problem is with your crossover cable. I don't know how to set that up. | 03:31 |
| Adylas | What I can do ? | 03:31 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: the other option is sneakernet | 03:31 |
| NetEcho | I"m having an issue getting ubuntu to play sound through my USB headset | 03:31 |
| billy | levander: why would i get a reply if its my crossover cable? | 03:31 |
| tbrock | levander yeah i know java and perl pretty well | 03:31 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: uggh | 03:31 |
| levander | billy: other networking, besides samba is working with the crossover cable? | 03:31 |
| tbrock | can some C++/C | 03:31 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: Do you have an Ubuntu box that works? | 03:32 |
| tbrock | php | 03:32 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: so what am I doing in those two locations. | 03:32 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: yes this one. | 03:32 |
| billy | levander: i can read and get files off the ubuntu comp from my windows, but not vice versa thru the crossover cable | 03:32 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: you can use aptOnCD to greatly simplify sneakernet | 03:32 |
| NetEcho | Anyone know how to get everything playing through a Logitech USB headset? I tried to set it as the device in volume control but that didn't seem to help | 03:32 |
| levander | tbrock: check out a project called 'al fresco' - it's a Java CMS. The Ubuntu people don't do a lot of programming in those languages. I think it's mostly python and C/C++ for Ubuntu. | 03:32 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: splain please | 03:32 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: interfaces is the configuration, networking is the script that starts/stops networking | 03:32 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, here is 2.6.22, except it has the tuxonice suspend2 patch: http://pastebin.com/m99d47de | 03:33 |
| SpookyET | Ubuntu is a bitch to configure manually since it's hard to find the location of any thing, and the GUI tools are lacking. | 03:33 |
| billy | levander? | 03:33 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: no I meant splain aptoncd | 03:33 |
| speeddemon8803 | !aptoncd | 03:33 |
| ubotu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 03:33 |
| levander | tbrock: But, if you're a junior programmer, I hope you're not expecting people to involve you in design very quickly. Probably even as a senior programmer you'll be fixing bugs and testing first. There's also the Mythbuntu project that's actively recruiting ppl if you're interested in that. | 03:33 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: AptOnCD is a ... uh, synaptic-by-proxy sort of thing. You use it on a computer with networking, it downloads all the (up to date) packages (and depends) for stuff, and makes them easy to burn. You take the CD you burned to the other computer, and it acts as a repository | 03:33 |
| billy | levander what can i do? | 03:34 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: I see. | 03:34 |
| billy | levander: i can read and get files off the ubuntu comp from my windows, but not vice versa thru the crossover cable | 03:34 |
| Adylas | Hello ! The only user on my ubuntu box has a password with a "é" in it. But the login screen is in english ? (Unable to type é). What I can do ? Thanks in advence. | 03:34 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, and here is 2.6.24: http://pastebin.com/m24983ef | 03:34 |
| levander | billy: Is stuff besides samba working with the crossover cable? | 03:34 |
| levander | networking stuff | 03:34 |
| billy | what kinda network stuff? | 03:34 |
| Flannel | tbrock: check out #ubuntu-motu, or #ubuntu-bugs, you can probably find some low hanging fruit there | 03:34 |
| billy | NFS i think? | 03:34 |
| billy | i disable ip6v already as well | 03:34 |
| NetEcho | How do you switch your active sound device to a headset so that Totem and other players will use that sound interface instead of the speakers? | 03:34 |
| JDStone | webmin packages are broken in Ubuntu Edgy | 03:34 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, a 'make oldconfig' on those and you will have everything work right, surely | 03:34 |
| levander | billy: did you try 'smbclient -L BILLY' while the wireless connection was off? | 03:34 |
| JDStone | maybe I should upgrade to Gutsy | 03:34 |
| billy | nope | 03:34 |
| JDStone | :? | 03:34 |
| billy | but that means disconnecting from here | 03:34 |
| JDStone | oops | 03:34 |
| JDStone | ? | 03:34 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, even gensplash, suspend/hibernate | 03:35 |
| billy | so ill be right back | 03:35 |
| Flannel | JDStone: webmin packages don't exist in edgy | 03:35 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: what was the second path you gave? | 03:35 |
| levander | billy: Ah, that is a quandary. Let me think a second. | 03:35 |
| n00bness | hey guys im configuring my network here but it does not work | 03:35 |
| n00bness | auto eth0 | 03:35 |
| n00bness | iface eth0 inet static | 03:35 |
| n00bness | address 192.168.1.110 | 03:35 |
| n00bness | gateway 192.168.1.1 | 03:35 |
| n00bness | netmask 255.255.255.0 | 03:35 |
| FloodBot2 | n00bness: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:35 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: good....actually I've never gotten hibernate to work, so that'd be good. I have suspend most of the time.... | 03:35 |
| tbrock | levander i don't mind, i just want to get invovled | 03:35 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: /etc/network/interfaces (config file), /etc/init.d/networking (script to restart) | 03:35 |
| tbrock | what projects are cool | 03:35 |
| tbrock | and really growing fast | 03:35 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i have another config here | 03:35 |
| tbrock | mythbuntu is tight | 03:35 |
| mouseboyx | in the ubuntu php -apache2 how do i disable php from executing in certain directories. | 03:36 |
| === kom is now known as sdaniels | ||
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: for which? | 03:36 |
| yyeago | IS it just me or did the partitioner get 200% less helpful come 7.10 | 03:36 |
| levander | tbrock: head into #mythbuntu and ask about getting involved. You'll probably need a capture card though, so you can have a running system at home if you want to help with that project. | 03:36 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, this one is the one i used in Xubuntu Gutsy for 2.6.22-9 | 03:36 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: I think I just need to run the script. | 03:36 |
| yyeago | I thought it would auto-partition my drive into 3 partitions...but it only gave me two! | 03:36 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, this is with Tuxonice and the SLAB thingy so it suspends | 03:36 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: sudo /etc/init.d/interfaces restart | 03:36 |
| computerex | does anyone know why my panels sometimes become invisible? The fix is simple enough, metacity --replace, but I am curios | 03:36 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: ok.... | 03:36 |
| Flannel | pyutaros: er, /networking not /interfaces | 03:37 |
| ph0rensic | yyeago, maybe its me and you heeh | 03:37 |
| yyeago | what do you mean? | 03:37 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: Actually, I did start and got an OK. | 03:37 |
| n00bness | i have a linksys router this is the config im giving my network http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57660/ any idea why it wouldnt work ? | 03:37 |
| ph0rensic | yyeago, about the partitioner being less useful | 03:37 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i'd use this on yours: http://pastebin.com/m4216dfbe | 03:37 |
| yyeago | QUESTION: should the auto-partitioner give me TWO partitions or THREE partitions??? | 03:37 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: now what would be a good test. prolly ifconfig. | 03:37 |
| levander | billy: All I can think of is to explain to you why I think it's not working... Let me pastebin some instructions. | 03:37 |
| yyeago | I thought common linux setup was 3 | 03:37 |
| NetEcho | Ok I am using a laptop and just plugged in my Logitech USB headset. Ubuntu recognizes it but even when I go to volume properties and set it to Logitech everything else still trys to use my Speakers and not the headset... how do I correct this issue? | 03:38 |
| ph0rensic | yyeago, are you dualbooting? | 03:38 |
| yyeago | ph0rensic: no | 03:38 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, ha! there it is! i found your patch for tux on ice AND hdaps! | 03:38 |
| NetEcho | evening ph0rensic | 03:38 |
| yyeago | but i am loading a home drive | 03:38 |
| ph0rensic | yyeago, full install to drive? | 03:38 |
| yyeago | ph0rensic: yeah | 03:38 |
| pyutaros | Flannel: I'm not seeing any eth in my output. | 03:38 |
| ph0rensic | NetEcho, hey! | 03:38 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i knew i kept this junk for a reason :) | 03:38 |
| yyeago | ph0rensic: my /home/ drive is NFS | 03:38 |
| ph0rensic | yyeago, then just two one for swap and the other for root | 03:38 |
| fouad | n00bness, why you dont use dhcp ? | 03:38 |
| mouseboyx | in the ubuntu php -apache2 how do i disable php from executing in certain directories. | 03:38 |
| yyeago | ph0rensic: cool | 03:38 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: really? that rocks! | 03:38 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, any idea how to solve my issue? | 03:38 |
| ph0rensic | NetEcho, oh what is it.. i just got in | 03:39 |
| Frogzoo | ph0rensic: yeah, the ubuntu autopartition's not too flash | 03:39 |
| pyutaros | Maybe my problem is hardware detection. | 03:39 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, ah just started using x-chat.. hard to keep up in it lol anyway here it is "I am using a laptop and just plugged in my Logitech USB headset. Ubuntu recognizes it but even when I go to volume properties and set it to Logitech everything else still trys to use my Speakers and not the headset... how do I correct this issue?" | 03:39 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, here's the patch for 2.6.22.9 or whatever that config was for: http://pastebin.com/m4afd1935 | 03:39 |
| Frogzoo | ph0rensic: just 2 partitions seems a bit ewww, but some people like it that way | 03:39 |
| ph0rensic | NetEcho, Oh man i dunno sorry I haven't tried anything like that yet | 03:40 |
| yo | levander: it decided to start working after that command | 03:40 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, for the tux on ice patch go here: http://www.tuxonice.net/downloads/all/ | 03:40 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, okidokie, how are you today? | 03:40 |
| === yo is now known as billy | ||
| thinkpaduser | chris0, and get tuxonice-3.0-rc2-for-2.6.22.11.patch.bz2 | 03:40 |
| ph0rensic | Frogzoo, you can make more, but auto-wise it defaults to 2 | 03:40 |
| billy | levander: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57661/ | 03:40 |
| ph0rensic | NetEcho, Doing alright, u? | 03:40 |
| billy | hey ph0rensic | 03:41 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: ok | 03:41 |
| billy | its yo | 03:41 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, use that tux-on-ice patch, the hdaps parking patch, and my config and you are SET UP | 03:41 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i had everything working great with those | 03:41 |
| ph0rensic | billy, yah i saw earlier when you switched | 03:41 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, not to shabby. I'm out of town visiting my parents so I only have my laptop, usualy I'd stream music off my computer so headphones aren't an issue | 03:41 |
| billy | lol okay | 03:41 |
| JDStone | Flannel: do they exist i Gutys? | 03:41 |
| JDStone | webmind | 03:41 |
| JDStone | *webmin | 03:41 |
| ph0rensic | NetEcho, ahh i see | 03:41 |
| yyeago | I've got an edubuntu lab. What would be the best way to deploy all machines with exactly the same setup? | 03:41 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, any idea if ubuntu has a shortcut key combo to go to desktop like windows' Winkey + D? | 03:42 |
| billy | ph0rensic:i finally got everything working.. made a crossover cable from a patch cable and now im transferring all my files | 03:42 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: cool Thanks! | 03:42 |
| ph0rensic | billy, right on | 03:42 |
| billy | yeah | 03:42 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, one thing though | 03:42 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: ? | 03:42 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i have an ATI driver | 03:42 |
| billy | ph0rensic: i think to save myself from retransferring files, im just gonna switch out the hardrvies in mine and my bros com since their identical | 03:42 |
| ph0rensic | NetEcho, yah it does .. I dont know what it is, are you using compiz? | 03:42 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yep. I'll have to go through for that. | 03:43 |
| billy | transferring them back to my comp* | 03:43 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i used this howto to use all that stuff | 03:43 |
| pyutaros | Let me start over. I am unable to boot to GUI, and am getting errors in syslog. | 03:43 |
| ph0rensic | billy, you really need to mug someone for their external HDD heeh | 03:43 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, http://blog.vaxius.net/?p=19 | 03:43 |
| levander | billy: http://pastebin.ca/921566 | 03:43 |
| billy | ph0rensic: lmao yeah.. not really now that i have the LAN going, file transfer is pretty fast now | 03:44 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, yes I am running compiz right now | 03:44 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, that shows you how to make a nice .deb for the kernel image | 03:44 |
| yyeago | QUESTION: I've got an edubuntu lab. What would be the best way to deploy all machines with exactly the same setup? | 03:44 |
| levander | billy: why not just transfer the files over the wireless connection? | 03:44 |
| ph0rensic | billy, good for u .. glad you got it all working | 03:44 |
| Flannel | JDStone: No. Its a security risk, no longer supported in Debian or Ubuntu | 03:44 |
| Flannel | yyeago: LTSP | 03:44 |
| cottima | hello, is there a tool to boot an iso of a lvm partition? | 03:44 |
| billy | levander: because the wireless is mad slow compared to the LAN | 03:44 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: thz! it'd be nice if I could get everything working. I've got almost everything...this would be the final touch | 03:44 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, you might not need that SLAB/SLUB thing changed for suspend to work with a Nvidia card | 03:45 |
| billy | levander: im transferring 30GB+/- 5GB | 03:45 |
| pyutaros | Specifically, "Pango-Warning: pango_cairo_font_get_scaled_font called with bad font, expect ugly output. | 03:45 |
| levander | billy: just copy them over, go to bed, get up in morning, it's done. Don't have to screw with hard drives or anything. | 03:45 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, that was about 3 months work for me. hopefully it will save you a little time | 03:45 |
| ForzaPalermo | how do i reset my ssh localhost password | 03:45 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yes, hopefully. | 03:45 |
| pyutaros | Is it possible I can just copy something like this off of the LIVE CD? | 03:45 |
| billy | levander: i would do that, but their both laptops, and only one charger, so i risk one dying during the process | 03:45 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: You reset your password | 03:45 |
| ph0rensic | hey NetEcho , in ccsm go to general and then actions tab then general there is a setting in there (ctrl-alt-D) but you can customize if you want) | 03:46 |
| zero88 | how do i check the kernel version i have? | 03:46 |
| Flannel | zero88: uname -a | 03:46 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, and i know all of those are good for madwifi-ng | 03:46 |
| ForzaPalermo | Flannel, how? | 03:46 |
| chris0 | zero88: uname -r | 03:46 |
| billy | levander: so i have a real reason to get it done fast, not just being non patient | 03:46 |
| ForzaPalermo | do i do it | 03:46 |
| zero88 | Flannel, thanks | 03:46 |
| levander | billy: you're a mess, just go buy a new charger, life is too short | 03:46 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, thanks | 03:46 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: cool. | 03:46 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: passwd would do it. (of course, that assumes you know it). Do you have another admin account on this box? | 03:46 |
| billy | im not buying my little brother a new charger.. they are 50 dollars.. he can buy it himself | 03:46 |
| levander | billy: I would try the instructoins I pasted before taking the hard drive out of a laptop. | 03:46 |
| billy | levander: why? | 03:46 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, so you could just drop everything Ubuntu and do this: http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo | 03:47 |
| NetEcho | ph0rensic, works like a charm | 03:47 |
| ForzaPalermo | flannel | 03:47 |
| levander | taking a hard drive out of a laptop isn't as easy as taking it out of a desktop, things could go wrong (as i've experienced myself) | 03:47 |
| billy | levander: as long as i do it while they're both off im good, they're both identical computers dell inspiron 150 laptop | 03:47 |
| ForzaPalermo | i need to change my ssh localhost password | 03:47 |
| ph0rensic | yah i just tried it myself .... compiz is great huh? | 03:47 |
| jcg42 | To access files on a web server withing my own internal LAN is it better to use FTP, Samba, SSH Filesystem, or something else? What about over internet? | 03:47 |
| billy | levander: ive done it before, while the computer was on.. and it still works | 03:47 |
| levander | billy: suit yourself, but i'd try the instructions i posted | 03:47 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: Thats the same as your user password. Do you have another account on the box that has admin rights? | 03:47 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, just blacklist it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and add ath_hal to /etc/modules.autoload/ whatever file | 03:47 |
| billy | levander: cuz im an idiot lol | 03:47 |
| ForzaPalermo | Flannel no | 03:48 |
| billy | levander: im damn happy i didn't fry my HD | 03:48 |
| mouseboyx | in the ubuntu php -apache2 how do i disable php from executing in certain directories. | 03:48 |
| ForzaPalermo | see i tried using pubnlic private keys... didnt work, so i purged everything, and i reinstalled ssh | 03:48 |
| pyutaros | Anyone ever seen that error? | 03:48 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword will walk you through it. You'll need to reboot into recovery mode (and then do some stuff locally) | 03:48 |
| ForzaPalermo | now i cant get it started | 03:48 |
| ForzaPalermo | but my login password works | 03:48 |
| ForzaPalermo | for everyhting else | 03:48 |
| ForzaPalermo | root, etc | 03:48 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yep...I'll probably do that eventually, when I have more time, and can deal with borkage....My computer got borked a couple weeks ago and I don't want a repeat experience of that..... | 03:48 |
| billy | brb guys | 03:48 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: thats the same as your ssh password. You've got some other stuff going on then with SSH | 03:48 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, it can be a headache | 03:49 |
| Lorenzo_ | !it | 03:49 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 03:49 |
| greenmanspirit | hello, i was surfing around the forums with no luck so I thought I would ask here. Does anyone know of a good widget type application that will work as a slideshow for photos i tell it to cycle though? | 03:49 |
| ForzaPalermo | is there another way to fully clean it besides purging it from synaptec | 03:49 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: do: sudo apt-get remove --purge openssh-server && sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 03:49 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yep | 03:49 |
| ForzaPalermo | shit i got it | 03:49 |
| Flannel | ForzaPalermo: No, complete removal via synaptic should do the trick. You can verify that /etc/sshd/ is gone after that. | 03:49 |
| ForzaPalermo | i was doing sudo ssh localhost | 03:49 |
| billy | !oh my|ForzaPalermo | 03:49 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about oh my - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:49 |
| ForzaPalermo | lol | 03:49 |
| isaacj87 | greenmanspirit: do you mean something like screenlets? | 03:50 |
| billy | lmao | 03:50 |
| ForzaPalermo | didnt pay attention | 03:50 |
| ForzaPalermo | i was getting nervous | 03:50 |
| n00bness | can you set a static ip address on vmware in ubuntu ? | 03:50 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: hey, do you have a webcam on your computer? If s, what program do you use to get it to work? | 03:50 |
| cheeby | hi. how do install mysql with readline support? | 03:50 |
| ph0rensic | greenmanspirit, I think you can try screenlets | 03:50 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, nah i don't | 03:50 |
| isaacj87 | greenmanspirit: I'm not sure if screenlets has a slideshow screenlet | 03:50 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i haven't messed with one before | 03:50 |
| ph0rensic | isaacj87, oh hah.. you nailed it already | 03:50 |
| NetEcho | Does anyone here know how to get Ubuntu to start playing audio on a USB headset instead of the speakers? | 03:50 |
| isaacj87 | ph0rensic: haha | 03:51 |
| ph0rensic | isaacj87, Im pretty sure there is one on gnome-look | 03:51 |
| isaacj87 | ph0rensic: oh really? good stuff | 03:51 |
| greenmanspirit | isaacj87, i dont know what screenlets is, but i just mean something that will cycle through my photos kind of like those digital frames they have in the store now | 03:51 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: ok. I got it working once. Not that I ever use it, but I like having things working. | 03:51 |
| ph0rensic | isaacj87, whether it works or not, thats a different story.. | 03:51 |
| isaacj87 | greenmanspirit: hmm, like ph0rensic said...I think there is something like that | 03:51 |

| Frogzoo | screenlets are buggy as | 03:52 |
| yyeago | Its preliminary so it doesn't go into a lot of detail | 03:52 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, you are true Linux nerd then! "Hey, I wonder if I can get that to work? Not that I will use it but..." :) | 03:52 |
| isaacj87 | greenmanspirit: give it a try...couldn't hurt, but like another user said, screenlets are pretty buggy | 03:52 |

| yyeago | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPFatClients <--- I am not understanding the steps that begin with 'chroot'. what are these effectively doing? | 03:52 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 03:52 |
| power788 | How can I find out why a program is running at startup? It is not in Sessions or init.d, anywhere else to look? | 03:53 |
| isaacj87 | ph0rensic: wow, that's a really cool screenlet...I think i'm gonna give it a try | 03:53 |
| NetEcho | Does anyone here know how to get Ubuntu to start playing audio on a USB headset instead of the speakers? | 03:54 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: I still have my Gentoo 2006.1 CD because I like installing it from scratch. So, yeah, pretty much | 03:54 |
| ph0rensic | isaacj87, let me know, I haven't installed screenlets in my new 64 bit install yet | 03:54 |
| billy | levander: what was that suggestion about hard drives you had? | 03:54 |
| ph0rensic | Frogzoo, i think screenlets are way better than the desklets | 03:54 |
| yyeago | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPFatClients <--- is /opt/lisp on this doc referring to the Server or the fat client?? | 03:54 |

| ViperH | what is up? | 03:55 |
| greenmanspirit | thank you all | 03:55 |
| prashant | it shows error | 03:55 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i love Ubuntu for many reasons, but Gentoo seems to be more fun tinkering with for me | 03:55 |
| isaacj87 | greenmanspirit: no problem! let me know how it goes | 03:55 |
| billy | is there any problem with switching hard drives between two identical comps (dell inspiron 1501 notebook)? | 03:55 |
| dsmith_ | standard rdp connecting to ubuntu is insecure correct? | 03:56 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: it is. I'm using ubuntu because I can reinstall it in 1 hour, instead of 24-36 hours. | 03:56 |
| greenmanspirit | isaacj87, well i am hitting the sack now, i will play with it tomorrow and come back to the irc with how it went over | 03:56 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, Ubuntu is for the rest of the machines i don't play with. my gf would beat my a$$ if she couldn't get on Myspace | 03:56 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, excatly | 03:56 |
| NetEcho | Does anyone here know how to get Ubuntu to start playing audio on a USB headset instead of the speakers? | 03:56 |
| ph0rensic | billy, there could be problems doing that | 03:56 |
| prashant | u dont hav permission to modify its parent folder | 03:56 |
| ph0rensic | prashant, on the desktop?? | 03:57 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, so you know, not to push Gentoo on the Ubuntu board since i adore both... | 03:57 |
| illmortal | anyone know why my resolution won't change when i configure kboot?... it's stuck at 1080i @ 1920x1080 and refresh rate @ 25hz. | 03:57 |
| prashant | ya | 03:57 |
| billy | ph0rensic: like what? | 03:57 |
| chris0 | NetEcho: you should be able to select your headset in System -> Preferences -> Sound..... | 03:57 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, you can install Sabayon Linux and you have all the work done for you | 03:57 |
| NetEcho | chris0, I do believe I did that but I'll check again | 03:57 |
| chris0 | NetEcho: ok.... | 03:57 |
| billy | ph0rensic: what problems could be encountered by switching the harddrives? | 03:58 |
| chris0 | thinkpaduser: yeah, but that's missing the point..... :D | 03:58 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i suppose it is isn't it :P | 03:58 |
| billy | ph0rensic: i also need some help with the compix stuff | 03:58 |
| ph0rensic | billy, the drive may not boot properly is the first one .. you could try it to test it | 03:58 |
| NetEcho | wow | 03:58 |
| Traveler8 | i am getting that sudo hostname error | 03:58 |
| Traveler8 | i cant figure out how to fix it | 03:58 |
| chris0 | NetEcho: the other thing to try is an lsusb and see if your headset is recognized. | 03:58 |
| NetEcho | chris0, its still playing out my speakers but now I don't have volume control | 03:58 |
| Jouva | I can't seem to get my OpenVPN connection quite working with the network manager plugin. The connection works just fine for my Windows PC. I went with essentially the same config (there were a few things missing but nothing that seemed critical) and I keep getting "Linux route add command failed: shell command exited with error status 7" | 03:58 |
| billy | ph0rensic: whats the worst that could happen? | 03:58 |
| thinkpaduser | chris0, i used to do that with Kororaa XGL when Compiz came out | 03:58 |
| NetEcho | chris0, it says Logitech USB headset in the volume controls | 03:59 |
| NetEcho | chris0, ah there we go | 03:59 |
| chris0 | NetEcho:got it? | 03:59 |
| NetEcho | chris0, yea totem needed to be restarted | 03:59 |
| ph0rensic | billy, if it doesn't work just dont write to the drive and switch it back.. remember there are settings that could be different even though the pcs are identical (MBR etc..) | 03:59 |
| billy | whats MBR? | 04:00 |
| chris0 | NetEcho: happy listening! | 04:00 |
| prashant | after using del it shows u dont hav perrimision change it or its parent folder | 04:00 |

| billy | ph0rensic: what is it tho? | 04:00 |
| billy | ph0rensic: what does it do? | 04:00 |
| NetEcho | chris0, now I can get to work on a game wiki :P | 04:00 |
| Jouva | !best | palomer | 04:00 |
| ubotu | palomer: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 04:00 |
| yyeago | what does this command do? I don't get the 'chroot' part of it sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/fati386 apt-get install edubuntu-desktop | 04:00 |
| illmortal | anyone know why my resolution won't change when i configure kboot?... it's stuck at 1080i @ 1920x1080 and refresh rate @ 25hz. | 04:00 |
| chris0 | NetEcho: have funsky | 04:00 |
| prashant | after using del it shows u dont hav perrimision change it or its parent folder | 04:01 |
| ph0rensic | billy, In short, it tells your computer how to load the OS properly | 04:01 |

| CorrosionX | Hey guys I'm trying to install Ubuntu server on an old Pentium 3 850, but I don't get it as soon as I choose "install" on the boot screen I only get a blank screen and a cursor... any idea? | 04:04 |
| ph0rensic | billy, hmmm that was odd... you have updated graphics cards and it said something about the module missing or something? | 04:04 |
| billy | yeah | 04:04 |
| billy | lemme give you the exact message in a sec | 04:04 |
| matthias | that supposely suppose to install ati drivers and other stuff ... | 04:04 |
| donomo | how can i get the .config for my ubuntu kernel? | 04:04 |
| matthias | for dell computers ... | 04:05 |
| J-a-k-e | Has anyone else noticed that ubuntu has inferior sound quality compared to windows. Or is it just me and the way I'be got things setup | 04:05 |
| matthias | any experiance ... | 04:05 |
| ph0rensic | CorrosionX, Server install CD? | 04:05 |
| billy | ph0rensic: "the composite etention is not available" | 04:05 |
| donomo | i do not find a .config file in /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22/ | 04:05 |
| CorrosionX | ph0rensic: yup | 04:05 |
| CorrosionX | I'm trying with 7.10 server but I have some 7.10, 6.06, 5.10 desktop disks and they do the same thing | 04:05 |
| ph0rensic | billy, run fglrxinfo in term and paste output to pastebin | 04:06 |
| illmortal | can anyone help me with my resolution problem? =\ | 04:07 |
| DG19075 | J-a-k-e: I've noticed that too. Audio sounds rougher Under Ubuntu than Windows | 04:07 |
| ph0rensic | CorrosionX, hmmm Strange .... I haven't used the server install disk in a while cause I dont have a production machine, I sometimes run a local server so I download using apt w/i the desktop install | 04:07 |
| matthias | illemortal: system->preferance->screen resolution | 04:08 |
| donomo | found it in /boot/config* | 04:08 |
| billy | ph0rensic: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57662/ | 04:08 |
| CorrosionX | none of my cds work and I got a case of 6.06s once | 04:08 |
| yyeago | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPFatClients <--- *could someone please* explain to me where this doc explains the client server relationship? | 04:08 |
| J-a-k-e | oh good, so im not the only person I've spent all afternoon tinkering and decided it sounded rather good. Tho when i went back to windows there's just no comparison | 04:08 |
| yo__ | sorry bout that guys | 04:09 |
| yo__ | comp turned off... | 04:09 |
| CorrosionX | J-a-k-e: i thnk the problem is th esound engine...I once found one that sounded good but forgot which one... I hope the new PulseAudio gets better because it's just not cutting it for me either | 04:09 |
| DG19075 | I'm a broadcast engineer, so I notice those things, and use this machine to produce stuff for a station I work at. | 04:10 |
| f43 | does anyone know where the update folder is ??? i want to back all of my updates :) | 04:10 |
| DG19075 | CorrosionX: Just wish you could remember. It would help a LOT...mp3's ound like crap comapred to W2K | 04:12 |
| J-a-k-e | ah, I've been using ALSA, time to go and google the other audio engines i think | 04:12 |
| jcg42 | To access files on a web server withing my own internal LAN is it better to use FTP, Samba, SSH Filesystem, or something else? What about over internet? | 04:12 |
| rikkimaru | Does windows have to be installed on the 1st primary partition? | 04:13 |
| Adylas | DG19075 J-a-k-e CorrosionX, For my part, Ubuntu sounds great with my M-Audio revolution 7.1. I would even say that its better (definition) then in windows. | 04:13 |
| Flannel | rikkimaru: no. It just has to think it is. | 04:13 |
| Flannel | rikkimaru: (you can fool it with GRUB) | 04:13 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: is there a way to do that? | 04:13 |
| speeddemon8803 | !grub > rikkimaru | 04:13 |
| Flannel | rikkimaru: GRUB's map | 04:13 |
| Traveler8 | how should i fix my hosts file????? | 04:14 |
| speeddemon8803 | rikkimaru...see private message from ubotu for information. | 04:14 |
| === ka2u is now known as ka2zzzz | ||
| power788 | Does anyone know how to find out why a program is starting automatically on login? | 04:14 |
| J-a-k-e | Being something of an audio nut my system sound is considerably better than self powered pc speakers so it's quite obvious to me too | 04:14 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: the problem I'm having is installing windows. When i run the install CD, it claims there is no space avaliable | 04:15 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: GRUB doesn't even run when the CD boots, right? | 04:15 |
| Traveler8 | i cant sudo | 04:15 |
| ph0rensic | yo__, In your xorg.conf .. I think under the device section there should be a line that says Option "composite" "on" can yo look? | 04:15 |
| Traveler8 | how do i fix my hosts file | 04:15 |
| Traveler8 | the /etc/hosts | 04:15 |
| Flannel | rikkimaru: oh, thats different. Do you have any space available? | 04:16 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: yes, and it's at the front of the disk | 04:16 |
| J-a-k-e | Adylas: That's interesting, I've got a creative xifi xtreme audio running a custom driver through windows. What sound engine do you run through linux? | 04:16 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: but my current ubuntu install is /dev/sda1 | 04:16 |
| Starnestommy | Traveler8: go into recovery mode and edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname to have your computer's hostname | 04:16 |
| === yo is now known as billy | ||
| CorrosionX | ok so I'm trying with an old 5.10 install disk, it's booting up the install and it stopped at "Checking 'hlt' instruction"\ | 04:16 |
| Flannel | rikkimaru: once you create a new partition infront of sda1, it'll become sda2. | 04:16 |
| Flannel | CorrosionX: 5.10 is no longer supported, any reason you can't try a newer one? | 04:16 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: how can I do that? | 04:17 |
| CorrosionX | Cause it won't give me textual error messages | 04:17 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: if i try with fdisk it claims its already taken | 04:17 |
| ph0rensic | jcg42, Im guessing if it is within your lan why not use samba or NAS | 04:17 |
| Flannel | rikkimaru: In the windows installer, you'll be able to create a partition. | 04:17 |
| CorrosionX | I tried em all but only this one gives me a clue with it doesn't work | 04:17 |
| Flannel | CorrosionX: try the alternate CD instead of the Desktop CD | 04:17 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: hmm... I'll try, but I don't think it let me | 04:17 |
| rikkimaru | Flannel: brb | 04:17 |
| billy | whats the debugging command someone told me earlier? | 04:18 |
| CorrosionX | I don't have one of those available right now... but what does that 'hlt' instruction hangup mean? | 04:18 |
| billy | its like something -L BILLY | 04:18 |

| Frogzoo | Devourer: yes | 04:34 |
| bazhang | Devourer: only use sudo its safer that way | 04:34 |
| ViperH | I didn't say how I said it could be changed if they wanted | 04:34 |
| Starnestommy | flaco: try libglib2.0-dev | 04:34 |

| Devourer | bazhang, I am trying to do jhbuild build, and it will go through and try and build GTK+ but it needs to make some directories which it doesn't have permission to do so I guess I need sudo jhbuild build, but when I do that, nothing happens, it just comes with the default prompt. | 04:36 |
| wols_ | and yes it will run fine afaik | 04:36 |
| mattgyver83 | Hi room, why (for my wifi machines) must i always restart my router when my IP changes? Is there a way to not have to do this? | 04:36 |
| wols_ | Devourer: why do you build gtk? | 04:36 |
| bazhang | billy: you should check out the appdb for wine--pretty impressive what games can run well--if you have the card for it ;] | 04:37 |
| Devourer | wols_, well, it is win32 GTK+. | 04:37 |
| wols_ | Devourer: cool. wrong channel here. please ask elsewhere | 04:37 |
| billy | bazhang: ATI radeon | 04:37 |

| bazhang | billy heh but which ati radeon ;] | 04:37 |
| Devourer | wols_, my problem I think pertains to using sudo and whatnot which is not really a GTK+ issue right? | 04:37 |
| lkthomas | how come I can't find php5-fcgi on apt-cache ? | 04:37 |
| alandd | wols_: My log from this morning is here: http://pastebin.com/d651e89c4 and I get the same results just now. | 04:37 |

| wols_ | Devourer: you building for windows is not a ubuntu problem... | 04:38 |
| bazhang | billy: you seen the appdb yet? | 04:38 |
| Devourer | wols_, I'm building a library for Ubuntu... | 04:38 |
| billy | bazhang: nope | 04:38 |
| Devourer | wols_, and this library happens to be Windows related. | 04:38 |
| bazhang | billy just a sec.. | 04:38 |
| Jouva | I can't seem to get my OpenVPN connection quite working with the network manager plugin. The connection works just fine for my Windows PC. I went with essentially the same config (there were a few things missing but nothing that seemed critical) and I keep getting "Linux route add command failed: shell command exited with error status 7". Any suggestions? | 04:38 |
| alandd | wols_: bot_ and Jack_Sparrow were worried this morning about the part "Unable to determine apt-cache policy for Debian main! at /var/lib/dpkg/info/emdebian-tools.postinst line 132." | 04:38 |
| wols_ | Devourer: how can it be? | 04:38 |
| billy | but i gotta go to sleep y'all ive been stayin up way too late messing with ubuntu | 04:39 |
| billy | ill be back in tomorrow probably | 04:39 |
| nickrud | bazhang: key there is the debian repo thing. It's not modified for ubuntu | 04:39 |
| Devourer | wols_, Well... the library is for Ubuntu, it would never build on Windows... | 04:39 |
| billy | bazhang will you be here tomorrow about 330 pst? | 04:39 |
| wols_ | alandd: I am too. bad package. as a workaround you can put a dbeian repo in your sources list and apt-update then try again | 04:39 |
| bazhang | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3731 billy check this ;] | 04:39 |

| BIOSboiler | i use bash | 04:47 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: Okay, so ssh opens a shell on another machine. | 04:47 |

| BIOSboiler | i use putty with xp at work | 04:47 |

| tehquickness | Or is anyone good with mencoder? | 05:03 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: Oh, the -X option is the equivalent of checking off "Enable X11 forwarding" in PuTTY, but for the command-line ssh. | 05:03 |

| dumezil | i've got some odd problem with gnome. the power went out and forcibly shutdown my computer last night and when i came in today and turned it on, the graphical login screen comes up and i can login, but the desktop doesn't come up... it just sits there with the mouse and nothing else. i tried the failsafe gnome login session with the same result. any ideas what to do? | 05:05 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: they will be able to see what host you are connected to, and how much data you are sending, but not the actual stuff you are seeing. | 05:05 |
| BIOSboiler | thanks | 05:06 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: But you should be careful. | 05:06 |
| BIOSboiler | why? | 05:06 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: There are other ways they can monitor your activity, like software on your computer. | 05:06 |
| BIOSboiler | like what? | 05:06 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: They also might simply get suspicious about you transferring lots of data over ssh, as X is a bandwidth hog. | 05:06 |
| ttuttle | BIOSboiler: Um, if it's their own machine, there are plenty of remote monitoring/control apps that are used for some combination of remote administration and snooping activities. | 05:07 |

| n2diy | ttuttle: BIOSboiler, SSH works from a shell, so he really wouldn't be surfing. And it wouldn't protect you/him from keyboard sniffers. | 05:08 |

| drarem | it does boot from the cd | 05:43 |
| alandd | n2diy: No, not directly. I was hacking the script to see if I could determine what it was choking on. It's not really a Perl problem. Sorry for any confusion. | 05:43 |
| billy | what program is=to realplayer in ubuntu? | 05:43 |
| drarem | i get the ubuntu /rescue options | 05:43 |
| billy | including .flv support? | 05:43 |
| n2diy | alandd: ok, np. | 05:44 |
| niuq | i have problems with, the sound | 05:44 |
| Geoffrey2 | in most configuration files, # is a comment symbol, correct? | 05:44 |
| ouellettesr | Leftville, I have never needed samba to do it before, but i am getting it right now to try | 05:44 |
| alandd | I have to quit and go to bed. wols_ and n2diy, thanks for the conversation. I'll may have to find a different way to setup my cross-compile environment. | 05:45 |
| niuq | the sound it's to slow, i can't hear almost anything, and every option it's at 100% | 05:45 |
| Ronin-Sage | getting err13 on grub(vista part) after a newbie re-size of my vista partition...anyone here that can help? | 05:45 |
| n2diy | alandd: OK, good night, looks like a dpkg error to me. | 05:46 |
| Leftville | ouellettesr: Okay, I've had the same problem before but I had Samba installed. If you have a firewall on your XP machine, make sure that it isn't blocking your Ubuntu machine. | 05:46 |
| === Leftville is now known as WotG_Migo | ||
| ouellettesr | k | 05:46 |
| gcarrillo | yessir! | 05:47 |
| ouellettesr | leftville it was the firewall :/ If only you had been around 3 hours ago :) | 05:48 |

| ka2 | billy: x86 or amd64? | 05:50 |
| billy | amd64 | 05:50 |
| WotG_Migo | ouellettesr: Be sure to keep an eye on the XP firewall, it can prove to be a problem later on again. I've had mine cut me off a number of times just because it felt like it. | 05:50 |
| ka2 | billy: you need 32bit firefox | 05:50 |
| n2diy | niuq: what is the problem? | 05:50 |
| gcarrillo | !sound | niuq | 05:50 |
| ubotu | niuq: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:50 |

| billy | ka2: after dl, how do i install flash? | 05:53 |
| gcarrillo | pz | 05:53 |
| Cpudan80 | gcarrillo: I need to know exactly how ubuntu reports the res | 05:53 |
| billy | stable lol | 05:53 |
| Cpudan80 | Plus AMD is incompetent and their pages are hard to muck around in | 05:53 |
| n2diy | Cpudan80: lshw? | 05:53 |

| billy | bazhang: but yea.. how do i install firefox after extracting it from a tar file? | 05:58 |
| Ronin-Sage | frijolie, same problem here, heh--what error are u getting? | 05:58 |
| bazhang | billy why not get it from the repos? or you want the beta latest bestest one | 05:59 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: use live disc, and choose the repair option | 05:59 |
| haymaker | can anyone help with evolution not launching? | 05:59 |
| Frijolie | I'm getting "fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) | 05:59 |
| Frijolie | /dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced" | 05:59 |
| n2diy | haymaker: why do you think that is a problem? What errors are you getting? | 05:59 |
| Frijolie | and a bunch of these: "Buffer I/O error on device sda3, logical block 23435234" | 05:59 |
| Ronin-Sage | oh, error 13 here | 05:59 |
| Frijolie | then it just boots to the command line and "startx" doesn't work | 06:00 |
| haymaker | n2diy, i'm not getting any errors when i try to launch it, i open it the first time after i log in and if i close it i cant open it again | 06:00 |
| haymaker | n2diy, if i log off and back on, it works | 06:00 |
| Frijolie | file system check failed | 06:01 |
| Frijolie | a maintenance shell will now be started | 06:01 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: booting to a liveCD now | 06:01 |
| n2diy | haymaker: Weird, same problem I'm having with my sound. Haven't found an answer yet. | 06:01 |
| n2diy | haymaker: What are you running, Dapper? | 06:02 |
| haymaker | n2diy, gutsy | 06:02 |
| Frijolie | can it restore the partition without suffering any data loss? | 06:02 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: actually, my answer was sort of flippant | 06:02 |
| gcarrillo | it may not work | 06:02 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: uh, oh! | 06:02 |
| n2diy | haymaker: My trouble is with Dapper, and seems to be related to an update on 2/23. | 06:02 |
| ka2 | billy: this is very "works for me"ish i guess but well it worked for me :) http://kiwiadam2.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/flash-player-on-amd64-ubuntu-with-32-bit-firefox/ | 06:03 |

| Ronin-Sage | my situation is: i'm getting err13(invalid or unsupported executable format) when i attempt to boot up vista after an apparently novice partition re-size | 06:04 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: if you want to avoid data loss, you could work with the system from the terminal to make backups of your important data | 06:04 |
| billy_ | dude.. | 06:04 |
| billy_ | ubuntu started acting all funny.. now im on my other comp | 06:04 |

| ka2 | who was yo__? | 06:04 |
| billy_ | ka2: any instructions you gave me i didn't get to see cuz ubuntu was retarded | 06:04 |
| billy_ | me | 06:04 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: i would use a USB drive and copy any important directories/files onto that | 06:05 |
| ka2 | billy_: why is ubuntu "retarded"? | 06:05 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: can you get to a command line from the live cd? | 06:05 |
| billy_ | the internet disconnected | 06:05 |
| gcarrillo | oh yeah | 06:05 |
| billy_ | for no reason | 06:05 |
| billy_ | so im rebooting it right now | 06:05 |
| ka2 | billy_: so who is billy? | 06:06 |
| Ronin-Sage | anyone know how to remedy my grub problem? | 06:06 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: boot the live CD, and bring up a terminal in it. Then use the "mount" command to mount your hard drive's filesystem | 06:06 |
| billy_ | me | 06:06 |
| billy_ | same dude | 06:06 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: at that point you can copy stuff from it | 06:06 |
| ka2 | billy_: arrghhhhhhhhhh confusing | 06:06 |
| ka2 | billy: this is very "works for me"ish i guess but well it worked for me :) http://kiwiadam2.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/flash-player-on-amd64-ubuntu-with-32-bit-firefox/ | 06:06 |

| haymaker | does evolution log errors anywherE? | 06:07 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: oh I thought you wanted me to get to a command line (no guI) from the LiveCD..alright I'm getting to the desktop | 06:07 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: else you could just boot your system from the harddrive, and work with it from the console (the command line you see when X doesnt start) | 06:07 |
| billy_ | whats the command to edit the blacklist? | 06:07 |
| rebelpro | hey is anyone on who could help me with a resolution problem i'm having? | 06:08 |
| wols_ | !ask | rebelpro | 06:08 |
| ubotu | rebelpro: 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. :-) | 06:08 |
| wols_ | billy_: editor | 06:08 |
| billy_ | why is my blacklist completely blank? | 06:08 |
| wols_ | cause you aren't blcklisting anything? | 06:09 |

| billy_ | ubuntu is acting really wierd right now | 06:09 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: it says that my sda3 (my /home partition) doesn't have an existing file system. I don't think I'll be able to mount it. | 06:09 |
| ka2 | !justask | billy_, billy, yo__ | 06:09 |

| gcarrillo | eww | 06:09 |
| rebelpro | I have already tried editing the xorg.conf file but it had no effect. Does anyone know how to get that resolution? | 06:09 |
| billy_ | ka2 when did i ask to ask a question? | 06:10 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: at least that was the errors when it was trying to run fsck @ boot | 06:10 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: still waiting for the desktop to load | 06:10 |
| ka2 | billy_: ubuntu is acting really weird right now. well whats your problem??? | 06:10 |
| gcarrillo | okk | 06:10 |
| regeya | ka2, try scrolling up a bit. | 06:10 |
| regeya | and lay off the uppers. | 06:11 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: I pulled the plug on my laptop, not remembering that the battery wasn't in it... | 06:11 |
| billy_ | the drivers arent booting correctly | 06:11 |
| gcarrillo | hehe | 06:11 |
| billy_ | the bcm4311 ones specifically | 06:11 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: and it's making me pay for my mistake | 06:11 |
| regeya | I swear to pete the ubuntu crowd is turning into the debian crowd... | 06:11 |
| regeya | ...and that's a very bad thing. | 06:11 |
| rebelpro | I'm trying to get 1680 x 1050 resolution using my ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro on my Gateway 22inch widescreen monitor. I have already tried editing the xorg.conf file but it had no effect. Does anyone know how to get that resolution? (sorry i forgot to put it on one line last time) | 06:11 |
| ka2 | billy_: "arent booting correctly" huh | 06:12 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: alright i'm at the desktop. sudo mnt /home ? | 06:12 |
| ka2 | regeya: in what way? | 06:12 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: "man mount" | 06:12 |
| billy_ | my wireless card isn't working anymore.. why? it was working just fine then it stopped...... | 06:12 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: ah..RTFM | 06:12 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: its something like "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" | 06:12 |
| === cZw0|b3ttL is now known as cZw0|w0rk | ||
| gcarrillo | i always forget | 06:13 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: i think sda1 is my swap, sda2 is /, and sda3 is /home on my HDD | 06:13 |
| gcarrillo | yeah, so sda3 | 06:13 |
| LogicalDash | I just broke my partition table. What now? | 06:14 |
| billy_ | whats a command to debug your wirelss? ust like LAN has smbclient? | 06:14 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: "can't find /dev/sda3/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 06:14 |
| rebelpro | Well I guess I'll just post in the forums and hope that someone who isn't on right now can help me | 06:14 |
| gcarrillo | LogicalDash: rebuild the partition table, i think with fdisk | 06:15 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: however, doing a directory listing shows that my data's still in tact (directories) | 06:15 |
| ere4si | noodles12, http://alltray.sourceforge.net/faq.html | 06:15 |
| gcarrillo | oh | 06:15 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: put a space between sda3 and /mnt | 06:15 |
| Frijolie | hehe, funny stuff...sounds like lots of people are having HDD/partition problems | 06:15 |
| ka2 | billy_: smbclient doesnt test lan | 06:15 |
| ka2 | billy_: ping does | 06:15 |
| billy_ | it test file sharing networks | 06:16 |
| ka2 | billy_: same for WAN | 06:16 |
| noodles12 | ere4si: thanks i'll check it otu | 06:16 |
| ka2 | billy_: WLAN | 06:16 |
| ere4si | k | 06:16 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: no error message, just a blank prompt again... | 06:16 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: i'm guessing that's a good sign | 06:16 |
| gcarrillo | now cd to /mnt | 06:16 |
| ka2 | billy_: it test smb file sharing no networking | 06:16 |
| gcarrillo | you should see your data | 06:16 |
| billy_ | ka2: my internet was working, but its not anymore.. it totally stopped working for absolutely no reason. i don't know what to do. | 06:16 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: i see two directories: brian and lost + found | 06:17 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: brian is my username so I'm guessing that's my home directory? | 06:17 |
| gcarrillo | is your username brian? | 06:17 |
| gcarrillo | right | 06:17 |
| puff | Bah, humbug. | 06:17 |
| gcarrillo | thats your home dir | 06:17 |
| gcarrillo | so you mounted it correctly | 06:18 |
| cdubya | I've installed all the codecs and what not to be able to play DVDs on this laptop......I've enabled DMA....I'm using 7.10 and I can't seem to get any DVDs to play right. Device Manager identifies this as a cdrom drive TSSTCorp. I haven't heard of it, and I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever be able to watch dvds on my Ubuntu partition....:-( Any ideas? | 06:18 |
| billy_ | compix is sooooo coool lol | 06:18 |
| puff | Yesterday I disabled compiz because I realized that a) I'm not really using any of the really nifty compiz features anyway, and b) the more omnipresent features (like translucency and bouncy windows) don't really mean that much to me anyway. | 06:18 |
| haymaker | hey how do i see what programs are running? | 06:18 |
| puff | And now my laptop crashes every hour or two. | 06:18 |
| puff | Sigh. | 06:18 |
| bazhang | cdubya: including the package from medibuntu? | 06:18 |
| puff | haymaker: ps -ef | 06:18 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: so does that mean that my fstab got messed up? | 06:18 |
| gcarrillo | haymaker: ps -aux | 06:18 |
| cdubya | bazhang, which one? | 06:18 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: i don't think so | 06:19 |
| ka2 | puf: i use compiz because I use the features and find it difficult to use a desktop without them now :) | 06:19 |
| billy_ | in compix what does desktop cube do? | 06:19 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: so, it should be fixed? | 06:19 |
| ka2 | *puff | 06:19 |
| bazhang | cdubya: the one for playing dvd's ;] | 06:19 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: the fstab just tells linux what filesystems to mount automatically at boot | 06:19 |
| ka2 | billy_: in compiz it is a cube for virtual desktops | 06:19 |
| puff | ka2: Well, I'm not a normal GUI user to start with. I've been using unix since the old vt52 days :-). | 06:19 |
| cdubya | bazhang, package name..... | 06:19 |
| puff | ka2: So I basically use X/gnome the same way I use screen/emacs. | 06:19 |
| douglas_h | gary | 06:19 |
| billy_ | oh for like when yo have windows running? | 06:20 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: yeah but at boot it couldn't find, or said that the partition didn't contain a filesystem | 06:20 |
| cdubya | bazhang, you mean libdvdcss or whatever? | 06:20 |
| bazhang | cdubya: www.medibuntu.org | 06:20 |
| gcarrillo | right, so fstab is just one file inside the filesystem | 06:20 |
| gcarrillo | i think the filesystem itself is what may be corrupted | 06:20 |
| gcarrillo | fsck is usually used to fix those types of problems | 06:21 |
| ka2 | puff: do you even need gnome then? | 06:21 |
| puff | ka2: Only to drive firefox :-). | 06:21 |
| earthling | puff: what client(non GUI - cmd prompt) for irc do you use? | 06:21 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: or perhaps you're having partition table problems too | 06:21 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: how do I restore or repair the filesystem. Fsck fails each time it boots... you said something about backing up my data before repairing it? | 06:21 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: in which case you'd use fdisk | 06:21 |
| puff | ka2: In fact, one of the things on my get-around-to-it list was figuring out if I could use the 3D cube effect for alt-tab. | 06:21 |
| puff | earthling: emacs. | 06:21 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: how do you tell the size of a directory? ls -a? | 06:22 |
| gandalfcome | is there an easy way to play sounds from a script in ubuntu? like a command line player? | 06:22 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: right, so now you have your home dir mounted, and should be able to access your data. If you were to plug in a usb drive, you could move files from your harddisk to the usb drive, thereby backing them up | 06:22 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: try du | 06:22 |
| ka2 | puff: but if youre using gnome like screen why not use fluxbox etc | 06:22 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: man du | 06:23 |

| cdubya | bazhang, bah, forgot to reinstall libdvdcss2...thanks.... | 06:24 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: just copy the entire home folder to an external drive? does that work? My /home is 6.3 GB...larger than my 1GB thumb stick. I have a 350GB USB External HDD | 06:24 |
| sam__ | need help playing streaming videos on NBC webpage | 06:25 |
| gcarrillo | use the 350gig one and you can just copy the whole home dir | 06:25 |
| bazhang | cdubya: hehe no worries ;] | 06:25 |

| Zodiac2 | I installed the latest nvidia drivers.. and now my xorg or something is fucked up... Ubuntu tells me to use low-graphics when I start it, and then it starts with a wrong hz so I cant proceed.. anyone got a solution? maybe reconfigure xorg, or downgrade drivers? | 06:26 |

| Zodiac2 | what have I done? =P | 06:27 |

| Zodiac2 | I just want my PC fixed, so I can do some homework etc | 06:27 |
| bazhang | Zodiac2: the f word | 06:28 |
| Zodiac2 | I never said a f word! | 06:28 |
| Zodiac2 | now please, anyone got a solution to my problem? | 06:28 |
| bazhang | how did you install the drivers Zodiac2 | 06:28 |
| gcarrillo | Zodiac2: hehe | 06:28 |
| Zodiac2 | via the ubuntu upgradething | 06:28 |
| Zodiac2 | the orange icon you know | 06:28 |
| Zodiac2 | :P | 06:28 |
| puff | ka2: Maybe I should; what's fluxbox? | 06:28 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: uh oh, the "brian" folder is empty. however it's showing all my stuff under /home/ubuntu..the LiveCDs home directory? | 06:29 |
| bazhang | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg perhaps Zodiac2 | 06:29 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: hmm...it should still work | 06:29 |
| Zodiac2 | ok, ill try | 06:29 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | puff, fluxbox is a light weight window manager like metacity | 06:30 |
| puff | [Hardy]TuTUXG: Ah. I've thought about trying out ratpoison. | 06:30 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: wait, Nautilus said that the "brian" folder was 6.3GB but showed empty. However an "ls" under the /home/Ubuntu shows my directories but is only 7.1KB | 06:30 |
| gcarrillo | how bout from the terminal? | 06:31 |
| gcarrillo | i.e. if you cd to /mnt/brian | 06:31 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: yeah it's showing in a terminal... | 06:33 |
| gcarrillo | ok | 06:33 |
| esfingex | Sysinfo: [AMD Sempron(tm) 2200+ (1500 MHz)] | [472 MB] | [Linux (2.6.22-14-generic)] | [load: 0.66 (5 min)] | [0d 3h 28m up] | 06:34 |
| gcarrillo | use "cp -r" or "mv" and you can move the entire directory | 06:34 |
| gcarrillo | check the man pages though, to make sure you do it correctly | 06:34 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: sudo cp /mnt/brian /media/disk right? | 06:34 |
| Zodiac2 | bazhang, now it working to a certain level (mouse and keyboard maybe need some configure etc), thanks! :D | 06:34 |
| gandalfcome | Frogzoo: thanks | 06:34 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: i don' | 06:34 |
| gcarrillo | t think you need sudo | 06:34 |
| gcarrillo | and add the '-r' so it recurses through the subdirectories as well | 06:35 |
| bazhang | Zodiac2: no worries ;] | 06:35 |
| Frogzoo | gandalfcome: you'll probably want cplay as a front end to mpg321 | 06:36 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: to make it easy just do "cp -a /mnt/brian /media/disk/" | 06:36 |
| gandalfcome | Frogzoo: thanks | 06:36 |
| gcarrillo | that preserves the file mode and copies recursively | 06:37 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: i'm getting permission denied..I"m guessing sudo? | 06:37 |
| billy | can someone help me with bcm43xx.. again.. i had it all connected and it was working fine.. but it stopped, and now i can't get it working again | 06:38 |
| gcarrillo | ok then, yeah use sudo | 06:38 |
| billy | anyone? | 06:38 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: operation not permitted | 06:38 |
| billy | gcarrillo you know much about WLAN in ubuntu? | 06:39 |
| gcarrillo | a little sum'tin sum'tin | 06:39 |

| asdffe | i have been trying really hard to apply a GTK2.0 theme. I do it and it says "theme installed properly" but none of the arrows, buttons or scroll bars ever change. | 06:40 |
| gcarrillo | billy: what driver does it use | 06:40 |
| billy | gcarrillo? | 06:40 |
| billy | oh | 06:41 |
| asdffe | They're always the same 2d windows98 looking style | 06:41 |
| billy | well it uses bcm43xx-fwcutter | 06:41 |
| billy | to extract the firmawre from a windows source | 06:41 |
| billy | through restricted drivers manager | 06:41 |
| xhhux | helllooo! | 06:41 |
| gcarrillo | did your system update anything since yesterday? | 06:41 |
| billy | yep | 06:41 |
| billy | 207... | 06:41 |
| billy | packages* | 06:42 |
| billy | but it worked after that | 06:42 |
| asdffe | i look at the source of these themes and it shows the images are there. like /arrowdown.png | 06:42 |
| gcarrillo | so you probably got a regression | 06:42 |
| asdffe | but there is no image for arrowdown when i set the theme | 06:42 |
| billy | gcarrillo: what do i do? | 06:42 |
| piju | need help here, about atheros | 06:42 |

| yaro | Hello, it is me again. I am actually representing a friend of mine with a support problem. | 06:51 |
| billy | which ones do i mess with? | 06:51 |
| gcarrillo | Frijolie: ive gotta go...but here's some suggestions: google a little bit on data recovery, particulary for the filesystem type you're using (i.e. ext3 or whatever) and learn about fdisk, fsck by reading man pages | 06:51 |
| gcarrillo | you may figure out how to save the data | 06:51 |
| billy | bazhang: what could i possibly do? maybe blacklist a couple drivers? | 06:52 |
| gcarrillo | you're problem may be either a corrupted filesystem or a corrupted partition table | 06:52 |
| gcarrillo | s/you're/your | 06:52 |
| Frogzoo | gcarrillo: but in all likelihood, if fsck can't fix it, you're screwed | 06:52 |
| yaro | My friend just installed Ubuntu 7.10. Not just ten minutes ago, and though Ubuntu loads up, he is reporting that its not loading anything beyond the Ubuntu 'wait' icon, and I am assuming, the orange screen. Any ideas what his problem could be? | 06:52 |
| Frogzoo | yaro: boot in recovery mode, and see where it halts | 06:53 |
| Frijolie | gcarrillo: well thanks for helping me this far... | 06:53 |
| gcarrillo | Frogzoo: yup, in which case you learn to make backups more consistently ;) | 06:53 |

| _Oz_ | Ubuntu friends, I'm stymied by something. | 07:00 |
| _Oz_ | I want to watch realplayer videos. I downloaded realplayer 10 for linux from real.com. I get a .bin file. How do I install that? | 07:01 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | _Oz_, ./xxx.bin | 07:01 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | xxx.bin = the file name | 07:02 |
| TrustNoOne | _Oz_, go into terminal, go into the directory of the bin file and type ./filename.bin (where filename is the name of the bin file) | 07:02 |
| justinmiller87 | Oz, your best bet is to use the version in Feisty. I used this guide as a way to get all mulitmedia setup. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=661833 | 07:02 |
| TrustNoOne | or do what TUXG said | 07:02 |
| Werdna | ew, real player | 07:02 |
| Dritzen | To use ./filename.bin , would you have to chmod +x the bin first? | 07:02 |

| justinmiller87 | I did a chmod 777 | 07:03 |
| TrustNoOne | _Oz_, you shouldnt use sudo unless its necessary | 07:03 |
| ti12 | Hello | 07:03 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | _Oz_, cd to that dir and i dont think u need sudo | 07:03 |
| yaro | _Oz_: You'll probably have to make sure the bin is executable. You can do that in BASH or right there in GNOME (Assuming this is regular Ubuntu, here.) | 07:03 |
| _Oz_ | ah | 07:04 |
| justinmiller87 | for the user who should have access and technically, since I enabled root, I should be able to access everything, but I can't get out of root's home folder. | 07:04 |
| Dritzen | _Oz_: chmod +x RealPlayer10GOLD.bin ; ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin | 07:04 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | _Oz_, and chmod a+x xxx.bin first | 07:04 |
| _Oz_ | yes, I see. Right-clicked, "allow t be executable" | 07:04 |

| yaro | billy: Why would you wanna do that? | 07:05 |

| yaro | _Oz_: When you're poking around your files for future refernce, and you wanna see if something is executable, type 'ls' and you'll see a color-coded listing of directory listings. Executable thingies are usually colored green. | 07:07 |

| justinmiller87 | til2, go to Dalnet. We don't share here. | 07:08 |
| yaro | billy: I strongly recommend that you do a package removal through apt-get or Synaptic, and not go rming stuff from your /lib. Stuff breaks too easily that way. | 07:09 |

| billy | nope | 07:14 |
| yaro | billy: type killall synaptic | 07:15 |
| Dritzen | I wonder if ps aux | grep apt-get would show if it's running | 07:15 |
| billy | no process killed... | 07:15 |
| up_the_irons | how do i get NetworkManager to add a couple domains to the "search" line of /etc/resolv.conf ? (i'm using gutsy) | 07:15 |

| up_the_irons | sorry, slipped | 07:16 |
| billy | how can i uninstall the updates? | 07:16 |
| billy | thats whats causing all these troubles... | 07:16 |
| Dritzen | There's a copy of previous versions of programs in /var/cache somewhere, isn't there? I'm going to take a look, it's been a while | 07:17 |
| bazhang | billy this is gutsy? | 07:17 |
| billy | yep | 07:17 |
| billy | and its bein completely retarded... | 07:17 |
| Dritzen | The directory /var/cache/apt/archives keeps a copy of previously installed deb files | 07:17 |
| Frogzoo | Dritzen: it's a cache only, but /var/cache/apt/ | 07:17 |
| bazhang | billy in the terminal type ifconfig | 07:18 |
| Dritzen | It's an option for installing a previous version if that's what he needs, just throwing the idea out there | 07:18 |
| billy | k.. let it reboot.. i restarted it just in case.. | 07:18 |
| yaro | billy: That might clear out whatever was blockign Synaptic | 07:18 |
| billy | ill be back in a few.. this whole stuff is stressin me i need a stogie | 07:18 |
| MeRLiNX420 | I'm haveing problems with a D-Link WUA-1340 USB adaptor can anyone help me? | 07:21 |
| Dritzen | Just a quick question but does anyone have a suggestion for my X config file to force 60hz at all resolutions? Ubuntu is picking odd ones for some reason, like 58hz for 1024x768 and 57 for 1280x800 | 07:21 |

| ArthurArchnix | Well, I was playing around with my icons themes, and I changed theme.index of the currently in use icon theme, at which point x crash, and wouldn't restart. Rescue mode didn't work. reconfiguring xorg didn't work. In short, it was borked. | 07:23 |
| ti12 | ubuntu rocks. but im a noob. any good books that will teach me or websites? | 07:23 |
| bazhang | sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg Dritzen you might do it with this though not sure how safe that is | 07:23 |
| Dritzen | ti12: A ton of sites, what are you interested in? | 07:24 |

| haymaker | ok, i screwed up my account, and so i created another and deleted mine, moved my home directory somewhere else, and tried to recreate it, but it doesn't get created | 07:24 |
| yaro | billy: Yes. | 07:24 |
| ti12 | Dritzen, i wish to VB XP, but i cant install the Video card driver | 07:24 |
| billy | ill just uninstall all the updates =) | 07:24 |
| bazhang | billy not a wise choice | 07:24 |
| ere4si | TrustNoOne, found a howto for changing icon text color - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=89197 | 07:25 |
| Dritzen | You want to what? | 07:25 |
| yaro | billy: You'd be uninstalling entire packages, not just updates. | 07:25 |
| TrustNoOne | ere4si, thx | 07:25 |
| ere4si | k | 07:25 |
| billy | then what should i do? | 07:25 |
| justinmiller87 | Got it figured out. I had my ln -s backwards. | 07:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | That was last night. I'm reinstalling now. My question is, I've got some free space on another partition, once I get it installed and updated, how do I do a complete copy (image) of my ubuntu partition to the spare partition? (That's a good idea yaro, but unfortunately, I'm already 15 minutes into the reinstall. I knew it would take me 3 hours to reinstall update and get everything back the way I wanted, I didn't know how lo | 07:25 |
| bazhang | billy open the terminal and type ifconfig | 07:25 |
| genbuntu | Hi, How do i return back to normal state after issuing 'sudo -i' ? | 07:25 |
| ti12 | I want to install XP pro on virtualbox, but i cant install the Video card | 07:25 |
| billy | k | 07:26 |
| billy | done | 07:26 |
| bazhang | ti12 no need for that | 07:26 |
| Dritzen | Ah, I'd just go on ubuntuforums.org and search around for virtualbox , I haven't used it personally | 07:26 |
| haymaker | how can i manually create an account on my machine without using this thing from system>administration? | 07:26 |
| billy | bazhang: now what? | 07:26 |
| ti12 | no? | 07:26 |
| Dritzen | Virtualbox won't run things in 3D anyway, right? | 07:26 |
| bazhang | ti12 nay; no dx10 in vbox | 07:26 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: Ist the free partition at least the size of the original one? | 07:26 |
| billy | bazhang: how can i undo all the updates? | 07:27 |
| bazhang | billy does that show the listing for your wireless card? something like wlan0 | 07:27 |
| ti12 | i actually heard of a few projects that is supposed to run Direct3d, but i dont know how to install | 07:27 |
| Dritzen | genbuntu: type exit | 07:27 |
| billy | yeah | 07:27 |
| bazhang | billy then type iwconfig | 07:27 |
| genbuntu | Ah! thanks Dritzen | 07:27 |
| Dritzen | ti12: If you're just looking to run games, you could try out Wine | 07:28 |

| yaro | billy: Sounds like amissing driver? | 07:29 |
| yaro | a missing* | 07:29 |
| billy | the driver is there tho.. something is interfering with it.. | 07:29 |
| fraroco | HELLO. I have a NetMD player How do I use it in ubuntu? | 07:29 |
| bazhang | billy you may have to go through the steps you originally did to get that card going from the link I gave you | 07:29 |
| ti12 | ok, please pardon my ignorance, im really new to all this!!! | 07:29 |

| ere4si | TrustNoOne, Can't you right click to config a screenlet? | 07:32 |
| ghost | anyone want to help me build Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup? | 07:32 |
| TrustNoOne | ere4si, yes but i dont see a color option for the txt | 07:32 |
| ere4si | TrustNoOne, I don't use screenlets - but I'll have a quick search :) | 07:33 |
| puff | ghost: Wtf? | 07:33 |
| bazhang | billy you might also try uninstalling those drivers and reinstalling them; no broadcom card here or I could walk you through it | 07:33 |

| TrustNoOne | ere4si, thx, its the WaterMark v0.27 screenlet by Mathieu Villegas | 07:33 |
| bazhang | ghost not really the channel for that | 07:33 |

| TrustNoOne | ere4si, in options for the screenlet there is place to change font but i dont see one for color | 07:34 |
| ghost | what is | 07:34 |
| bazhang | ti12 what game | 07:34 |
| ghost | this is a question about build errors in ubuntu | 07:34 |
| ti12 | Ages of Empire 3 | 07:34 |
| yaro | ghost: What are your build errors? | 07:34 |
| bazhang | ghost try #ubuntu-offtopic or explain yourself more clearly | 07:35 |
| billy | how can i delete files in the lib/firmware directory? | 07:35 |
| ArthurArchnix | zgrep, yup | 07:35 |
| billy | ill just reinstall ubuntu if it crashes | 07:35 |
| Dritzen | ti2: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2441 | 07:35 |
| bazhang | ti12 this is the legitimate game? if it is not, then that would be the source of your problem most likely | 07:35 |
| === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ | ||
| Dritzen | ti2: http://appdb.winehq.org is a database of games/applications that you can run in Wine. it shows whether they will work and if they do work, what steps you need to take | 07:35 |
| ghost | ok, I am having build errors trying to build a piece of software. I am redownloading source right now, I will pastebin the output of make | 07:36 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: I'm ususally runnit it like that : dd if=/dev/<sourcePartition> of=/dev/<targetPartition bs=8192 | 07:36 |
| icesword | ghost, what are you working on? | 07:36 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: this will make a 1:1 image... you can then directly mount it. | 07:36 |
| Dritzen | ti2: I doubt Age of Empires 3 will run well in Wine, based on that page I linked to you | 07:37 |
| ghost | give me second I will post the output | 07:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | what are the bs=8192 options at the end zgrep? | 07:37 |
| ere4si | TrustNoOne, seems that is an option some screenlet makers put in and some don't - with a bit of messing around you should be able to add that in the file for it | 07:37 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: 8K Blocksize. | 07:37 |
| bazhang | block size correct? | 07:37 |
| TrustNoOne | ere4si, ya so basically i have to create a theme for it | 07:37 |

| Asphaltkiller | hi @ll | 07:38 |
| ti12 | yah. is it possible to run Mac Leopard OS x 10.5.2 in virtualbox? | 07:38 |
| lunks | But I really don't want to wait untill I need it. | 07:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | zgrep: Ok, thanks. Can I also taz.bz the backup? | 07:38 |
| lunks | hmm bazhang: how? | 07:38 |
| bazhang | ti12 you have been warned about that before please take that elsewhere | 07:38 |
| ti12 | oh, ok | 07:38 |
| ere4si | TrustNoOne, no - there is a source file you add a line to so the text color can be changed - if you have one that can have the color changed open the file and see how | 07:38 |
| ArthurArchnix | zgrep: Because I have a data partition and would like to keep a copy on there, that way, I've got two bootable systems and a clean backup I can unzip and copy back over. | 07:39 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: sure.. you can for example dd if=/dev/<source> | gzip -c > myImage.gz | 07:39 |
| ere4si | TrustNoOne, it's like the config file for it | 07:39 |
| bazhang | lunks what card for wifi | 07:39 |

| TrustNoOne | ere4si, oh its this watermark screenlet http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=71960&forumpage=4 | 07:39 |
| lunks | billy, bazhang, its listed as bcm43xx | 07:39 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: you won't need tar - it's a single file... | 07:39 |
| ghost | this is my make output where I believe the error starts | 07:39 |
| ghost | http://pastebin.com/d43c2fcbd | 07:39 |
| billy | lunks: ur screwed lol | 07:39 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: Or did you mean tar all the files instead of the image... | 07:39 |
| TrustNoOne | ere4si, its just 1 screenlet but has many watermarks for it, i will take a look at the config and python script for it | 07:40 |
| lunks | haha tnx billy | 07:40 |
| billy | broadcom cards are satan to linux... | 07:40 |
| billy | im having so much trouble with mine | 07:40 |
| yaro | ghost: Looks like you need to install additional development libraries. | 07:40 |
| billy | lunks: i had it working fine, until i installed the updates.. duh duh duh.... lol | 07:40 |
| ArthurArchnix | zgrep: no no, you had it right. I want to compress an image so that it takes up less space on my data partiion. | 07:40 |
| beautifulsnow | Funny. everyone over at the windows channel is talking about linux for a while | 07:40 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: that would be via mounting that partition somewhere and then cd <mountpoint>; tar cpzf <filenameOutsideOfMountpoint> | 07:40 |
| ghost | Thanks Yaro I will look into that | 07:40 |
| ere4si | TrustNoOne, that is how I get gdesklets how I want them - and screenlets work in a similar way | 07:40 |
| lunks | I'm planning on go to Hardy as it's 2.6.24 kernel and hope to work, billy | 07:40 |
| _Oz_ | is there a way to make realplayer launch automatically when you click on a realplayer file in firefox? | 07:40 |

| yaro | ghost: Try going into Synaptic and look for libpng-dev or something tlike the same. | 07:40 |
| billy | lunks: huh? | 07:41 |
| lunks | billy, 8.04 tls, new version of ubuntu | 07:41 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: then use the dd with the gzip piped... if you have a quick machine: BZip2 has a better ratio but it's slower... | 07:41 |
| Dritzen | It's coming out in April | 07:41 |
| lunks | Coming on April. ;P | 07:41 |
| billy | lunks: does it have support for the bcm43xx? | 07:41 |
| lunks | I hope it has! x) | 07:41 |
| yaro | ghost: You're welcome. | 07:41 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: I usually put a buffer in between to see the throughput: dd if=/dev/.... | buffer -S 1M | gzip -c > myarchive.img.gz | 07:42 |
| Dritzen | billy: It's got a newer kernel and a lot of new features, so it might | 07:42 |
| billy | lunks: me too.. im sick of this bcm stuff | 07:42 |
| yaro | billy: 2.6.24 kernel does have a larger support base for WAN. | 07:42 |
| ghost | i hate installing libs because there is always like several versions available | 07:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | zgrep I gotta right this down...yeah, it's a duo core, but this one here: dd if=/dev/<source> | bzip2 -c > myImage.gz creates my image, but I don't see where it gets piped to? | 07:42 |
| ghost | i ususally just get the one that looks like its the latest | 07:42 |
| lunks | billy, as soon as I find a cd-rw i'll try it =) | 07:42 |
| billy | =) | 07:43 |
| yaro | ghost: That's normally good practice. | 07:43 |
| billy | definately | 07:43 |
| billy | but with the drama i've been going thru with ubuntu.... i might just reinstall XP..... | 07:43 |
| lunks | billy, what's the matter? | 07:43 |
| Dritzen | billy and lunks: Hardy Heron Alpha 4 is out, you could try the live cd and see if it works for you | 07:43 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: the pipe is the | ... that means dd reads the data from the disk and the data is then sent to the next program which is gzip... this passing on of information is what I refer to as piping | 07:43 |
| ghost | its saying that libpng-12-dev is a vertual package | 07:43 |
| billy | im really sick of the bcm43xx issues | 07:44 |
| ghost | that means I already have it installed basically correct? | 07:44 |
| lunks | Dritzen, I'm downloading daily build | 07:44 |
| Dritzen | lunks: you're adventurous :) good luck | 07:44 |
| lunks | billy, do you hang around here often? | 07:44 |
| yaro | ghost: Not sure. Is the little box next to it filled in green? | 07:44 |
| bazhang | err its Hardy alpha 5 and this should be discussed in #ubuntu+1 ;] | 07:44 |
| billy | lunks: lately? every day lol | 07:44 |
| ghost | yaro I am using apt not synaptic | 07:44 |
| lunks | Dritzen, I just have plenty of time =) | 07:44 |
| lunks | billy, if it works, I'll let you know =) | 07:44 |
| ghost | but I would assume that means there is a package installed fulfilling that link | 07:44 |
| billy | thanks lunks | 07:45 |
| billy | if im not in here just drop me an email | 07:45 |
| billy | wbreslin951@gmail.com | 07:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | So it reads /dev/sda1 for example, sends it to gzip to create an archnive, but then leaves it on the partition that called the command? That's what I'm asking, could I add something like | mv myimage.gz /dev/sda3/backup | 07:45 |
| yaro | ghost: Okay, so just an easy way to see if its installed is to just sudo apt-get install libpng1.2-dev and see if it says anything about it "already being the latest version." | 07:45 |
| Dritzen | ArthurArchnix, After the > filename just put in >/dev/sda3/backup/filename instead | 07:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | zgrep ^ because I don't really have room for images on my ubuntu partitions. They're 3.5 GB each. My data is pretty big though. Ahh.. simplicity itself! | 07:46 |
| `mIRC` | hi.. | 07:46 |
| Dritzen | hey mIRC | 07:46 |
| `mIRC` | i install 2 OS...1..is windows ... 2..is Ubuntu | 07:46 |
| ghost | thats what I did | 07:46 |
| zgrep | ArthurArchnix: do you want to store your image on the partition sda3? | 07:46 |
| ghost | and it said 'this is a virtual package that referes to some other package | 07:46 |
| ghost | i assume the other package is installed | 07:46 |
| `mIRC` | my prob. is it shows GRUB error | 07:46 |
| yaro | ghost: What was the package. | 07:46 |
| ghost | perhaps its not the correct version | 07:46 |
| billy | omg.. is there any way to reinstall ubuntu without wiping my files? | 07:47 |
| bazhang | `mIRC`: what error please be specific | 07:47 |
| `mIRC` | GRUB loaing stage1.5 read error | 07:47 |
| ghost | ge libpng12-0-dev is a virtual package provided by: | 07:47 |
| ghost | libpng12-dev 1.2.15~beta5-2ubuntu0.1 | 07:47 |
| ghost | You should explicitly select one to ins | 07:47 |
| `mIRC` | bazhang" GRUB loaing stage1.5 read error | 07:47 |
| bazhang | billy do you have a seperate /home? | 07:47 |
| `mIRC` | bazhang" GRUB loading stage1.5 read error | 07:47 |
| ghost | billy, copy your /home/ folder to somewhere | 07:47 |
| ghost | like an external hard drive | 07:47 |
| yaro | ghost: Try sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev 1.2.15~beta5-2ubuntu0.1 | 07:47 |
| billy | i don't have an external hd | 07:47 |
| lunks | But how to know if wireless is working or not, anyway? | 07:48 |
| billy | lspci | 07:48 |
| lunks | I have installed that cutter stuff =P | 07:48 |
| billy | L, but lowercase | 07:48 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | !botsnack | 07:48 |
| lunks | It's listed | 07:48 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 07:48 |
| bazhang | lunks did you read the link I gave you? | 07:48 |
| billy | then it should be working | 07:48 |
| Dritzen | lunks: iwconfig works for listing wireless network card info too | 07:48 |
| lunks | bazhang, yeah | 07:48 |
| bazhang | lunks ifconfig then iwconfig | 07:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | Thanks Dritzen, and zgrep: Yeah. It's like this , I've got a somewhat complicated partitioning scheme, but I should be able to adapt those commands you gave. Except I would like to use bzip instead of gzip... is that all it is.. say bzip in place of gzip? | 07:48 |
| `mIRC` | ...can anybody help me?? | 07:48 |
| `mIRC` | i got GRUB loading stage1.5 read error | 07:48 |
| lunks | I just want to find some wi-fi nearby and check if it works | 07:48 |
| yaro | ghost: The other problem I might see could be with your #include statement, perhaps getting the file wrong. Like I program a lot with SDL, and to use it I have to #include "SDL/SDL.h" | 07:49 |
| bazhang | lunks to test it sudo dhclient wlan0/cardnamehere without ethernet attached of course | 07:49 |

| ghost | ah | 07:54 |
| ghost | good call | 07:54 |

| ghost | guess this source package don't have that | 07:55 |
| TrustNoOne | ere4si, oh background behind the txt? there was no background color... the text was wahtever color i wanted it to be | 07:55 |

| MDKSIGN | bazhang: How do I do that? | 08:01 |
| TrustNoOne | ere4si, yeah it should... i havn't played with the transparency, i kept as the sample script the author used and i didnt get a b/g color | 08:01 |
| maximada | in add/remove i get an error when ticking a box | 08:02 |
| TrustNoOne | maximada, care to share the error? | 08:02 |

| maximada | it says the list of apps is unavailable | 08:02 |
| bazhang | http://appdb.winehq.org/ MDKSIGN | 08:02 |
| bazhang | maximada: do you have all the repositories enabled in synaptic package manager (the first four iirc) | 08:03 |
| TrustNoOne | maximada, in terminal do "sudo apt-get update" and then when you go back to add/remove, go into settings and make sure all the repositories are checked and reload | 08:03 |

| simplexio | MDKSIGN: depends.. i have used wine only run civ4, and VirtualBox to run dev-enviroment | 10:20 |
| luckyshot | anyone? | 10:21 |
| naxa | MDKSIGN, it depends. try the app. with wine and if it works OK then it is the better. if it's not working then you can use it with virtualbox. if even virtualbox fail, then i don't know what to do but this is rare. | 10:21 |
| simplexio | MDKSIGN: but if you want use VBox to run normal programs i would recommend VBox, not sure how 3d stuff works in Vbox | 10:21 |

| naxa | madmaxmad, thank you for your effort too | 10:26 |
| naxa | Squawk, i rename myself to naxaa | 10:27 |
| === naxa is now known as naxaa | ||
| Squawk | naxa, edit /etc/network/interfaces, under eth0 you need "address ipaddress, netmask netmask, gateway, ipaddress", 3 separate lines set to what you want | 10:27 |
| Squawk | no comma after gateway | 10:27 |
| naxaa | Squawk, thank you | 10:27 |
| Micheru | ok i tried adding the command to the start of that script, it started but xserver failed, when i try it at the end the command does not run :/ | 10:27 |
| AlexStacey | Installation went without a hitch. Everything found. Wondefull! Thanks people =] | 10:28 |
| Micheru | the script being /etc/gdm/Xsession and the command being the x11vnc start command | 10:29 |
| naxaa | Squawk, by "gateway ipaddress" did you mean the ip address of the gateway or "gateway ip address first then the ip address of the local computer again"? | 10:29 |
| Squawk | naxaa, I mean type "gateway number.number.number.number" | 10:30 |
| naxaa | Oh i see :D ok | 10:30 |
| naxaa | Squawk, oh, ok, thanks:) By the way in "address ipaddress" address is the word "address" then? | 10:30 |
| Squawk | naxaa, in each of those three cases, the first word is the word, the second is the actual ip address, so for example "address 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.1.1" | 10:33 |

| pajamian | brambo: I'll have a quick look, one min. | 11:20 |
| hischild | SIN_AS, compiz is installed by default on ubuntu. The only things required to get it to work is the restricted driver. | 11:20 |

| thoreauputic | ThreeFingerPete: did you try sudo dpkg --configure -a as Ziroda1 suggested ? | 11:20 |
| SIN_AS | hischild, what shall i do? | 11:21 |
| ThreeFingerPete | thoreauputic: i tried that yes. it gives me the all pervasive error about dependancies | 11:21 |

| pajamian | brambo: did you try the directions here: http://wiki.rigsofrods.com/index.php?title=Installation_Guide#Ubuntu.2FDebian | 11:21 |

| Nitroray | Guys: I have this problem; When I press the [X] Somewhere, like in Pidgin, it should minimalise to the Panel, but it doesn't, it closes my Pidgin :( Or Evolution Mail.... What to do know? Somebody know the answer?? | 11:21 |

| pajamian | brambo: ok, brb. | 11:22 |
| thoreauputic | ThreeFingerPete: is your /etc/apt/sources.list correct? | 11:22 |
| LoLLo | i've a .rpm file ( installation of acrobat reader ) .... i've noticed that if i keep the folder inside the file and go to the .bin file, the program runs !!!! i mustn't follow a procedure for the installation ? ? ? ? | 11:22 |
| ThreeFingerPete | thoreauputic: i appreciate all the effort you are applying to my hard head. i will try that too | 11:22 |
| brambo | pajamian: sorry i dont type so well sometimes | 11:22 |
| Ziroda1 | ThreeFingerPete: that bigger issue is probably caused by a failed installation or upgrade, can you actually get to the gnome desktop? | 11:22 |
| hischild | SIN_AS, and the reason why you're not using 7,10 is ... | 11:22 |
| ThreeFingerPete | Ziroda1: I am at the desktop, yes. and yes, i realized i had a problem when i was offered a partial update only. | 11:23 |
| ganu | sudo for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 S ; do ln -s /etc/rc$i.d /etc/rc.d/rc$i.d ; done is there anything wrong in this command? | 11:23 |

| SIN_AS | hischild, most important reason is drivers radeon 9550 video card | 11:23 |
| brambo | pajamian: private message me when you return i might not catch what u say here as im trying to read that link | 11:24 |
| Juzzzzy | hischild: I'm baaack, success in creating partition/mounting but i'm stuck in fstab with mounting it, i've got /dev/sdb1 /video ext3 defaults 0 ... is this correct? | 11:24 |
| SIN_AS | hischild, there are drivers only 7.04 version | 11:24 |
| hischild | SIN_AS, as far as i know drivers are not restricted to a specific version. The only thing i can think of is that compiz refuses to show it because your graphics card cannot handle it. | 11:25 |
| brambo | forgive a ubuntu noob but how do i bring up my soures list i foret the code for terminal to do it? | 11:25 |
| hischild | Juzzzzy, at first sight that seems correct | 11:25 |
| Juzzzzy | sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:25 |
| Juzzzzy | hischild: it mounts but i cannot write to it | 11:25 |
| Juzzzzy | no permissions | 11:26 |
| hischild | Juzzzzy, then you'll have to add the rw options to it | 11:26 |

| giggsey | I have two NIC's in my ubuntu box, one plugged into a 192.168.* subnet, the other into a 10.0.* subnet. I'm trying to redirect internet traffic from the 10.0.* subnet through the linux server into 192.168.*. There is a proxy server running on 192.168.0.1 which the gutsy box will need to browse via. Any good guides/software for this? | 11:43 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | I love ubuntu, but i have one little question? | 11:44 |
| Johnny_5 | hey Keith_Mc-Kay | 11:44 |
| LoLLo | where can i put some folders which are necessary for the running of some programs ( linke Lexmark, skype etc etc ) that currently i've in the desktop ... ? in /share ? ? ? | 11:44 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Where to find the option Custom ? | 11:44 |
| Johnny_5 | shoot | 11:44 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | I rebooted today, and the system booted to the login, at least I have hear the login sound, but ive lost my screen | 11:45 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, you might be better off using a specialist distro for this, such as smoothwall or ipcop. | 11:45 |
| hischild | Nitroray, under the rest of the options under system --> preferences --> appearance | 11:45 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | im using a laptop as i cheap way of running a server. | 11:45 |
| dooglus | Keith_Mc-Kay: did you forget to turn the monitor on? | 11:45 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | Funny hear har. mate | 11:45 |

| giggsey | MoLE_: well, do you know of any software based systems? Because it also needs to run apache/mysql within the 10.* subnet | 11:46 |
| brambo | [Brambo] is already registered...gotta try another name i think | 11:46 |
| ultrav1olet | How many packages will be updated in this process? | 11:46 |
| pajamian | Keith_Mc-Kay: some laptops have a key combination that you press to toggle between the external monitor port and the built-in display. | 11:46 |
| brambo | if im not registered how did i private message before? | 11:46 |
| legend2440 | is EasyUbuntu recommended? Safe to use? I understand Automatix is not recommended | 11:46 |

| Ziroda1 | legend2440: what packages do you need from easyubuntu | 11:46 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | before now i got low screen mode, 800-600 | 11:46 |

| LoLLo | where can i put some folders which are necessary for the running of some programs ( linke Lexmark, skype etc etc ) that currently i've in the desktop ... ? in /share ? ? ? | 11:49 |
| hischild | pajamian, i wasn't going to make it overly complicated. When he tries to enable his drivers he should see wether he has an ati or nvidia card :-) | 11:49 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - They are all enabled | 11:49 |
| giggsey | MoLE_: is there a website I can visit for information about running this on a Ubuntu Server? | 11:49 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - 2 are not in use. | 11:49 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | if i let it go into graphical then i cant see nothing | 11:50 |
| hischild | not in use? | 11:50 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - But enabled | 11:50 |
| KbuntuStudio | Hello?:-( I've been sitting here for 10 minutes......... When ever I try to enable windows effects, I get a message that says: "The composite extension is not available" | 11:50 |
| Johnny_5 | ah... | 11:50 |
| ganu | whre can i get the complete guide to install oracle on ubuntu 7.10??which release of oracle suits ubuntu 7.10 best? | 11:50 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Yes not in use (red icon ipo green) but enabled | 11:50 |
| Juzzzzy | KbuntuStudio: be patient, help is coming | 11:50 |
| KbuntuStudio | ok | 11:50 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, it's actually a completely different distro. www.smeserver.org | 11:50 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: do you haave the packages for compiz installed? | 11:50 |
| KbuntuStudio | yes | 11:50 |
| Juzzzzy | KbuntuStudio: there are only a few real ubuntu gurus in here and they're very busy ;) | 11:51 |
| hischild | Nitroray, okay. Now there probably is a line that says either ati or nvidia. Which one do you see? | 11:51 |
| tam | how can one check how much they are transferring out a virtual interface? | 11:51 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - NViDIA | 11:51 |
| KbuntuStudio | Ziroda1:Yes I did. | 11:51 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: in a terminal can you type compiz --replace and tell me what happens please | 11:51 |
| hischild | KbuntuStudio, you're missing probably a package, and google helped me out on that one. | 11:51 |
| KbuntuStudio | ok | 11:51 |
| pajamian | Nitroray: there could be other nvidia components, what's the entire line (to make sure it's actually the graphics card). | 11:51 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | ive rebooted my other box, the one with the problem, and ive loggod in before the session login | 11:52 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | i tried startx in the shell, and it says there are no usable modes | 11:52 |
| KbuntuStudio | I got this: chris@ubuntustudiosystem:~$ compiz --replace | 11:52 |
| KbuntuStudio | Checking for Xgl: not present. | 11:52 |
| KbuntuStudio | No whitelisted driver found | 11:52 |
| KbuntuStudio | aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity | 11:52 |
| hischild | pajamian, good point ... though i was going to assume it was his gfx otherwise he'd say more then just this line :-) | 11:52 |
| ganu | whre can i get the complete guide to install oracle on ubuntu 7.10??which release of oracle suits ubuntu 7.10 best? | 11:52 |
| Nitroray | Pajamian - NVIDIA Accelrated graphics driver (legacy card) | 11:52 |
| pajamian | Nitroray: that's the graphics card alright. | 11:53 |
| Nitroray | Pajamian - Its in Use and green icon'd | 11:53 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: have you run the restriced drivers manager? | 11:53 |
| Nitroray | Pajamian - What to do now ? | 11:53 |
| KbuntuStudio | Ziroda1: How? | 11:53 |
| hischild | pajamian, if i'm correct he's missing xserver-xgl | 11:53 |
| ultrav1olet | Is it possible to upgrade the latest Ubuntu alpha version to a new stable release? How many packages will be updated in this process? | 11:53 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: System > Administration > Restricted Drivers Manager | 11:53 |
| giggsey | MoLE_: well, I don't really want to reinstall the server. I'm looking for something software based. | 11:53 |
| pajamian | Nitroray: I'm not sure, I was just helping to id which card you have, I wasn't following the whole thing. | 11:54 |
| ricardoromao | Hello people, i have a problem with my ubuntu 7.10 on Asus motherboard. The ubuntu boots ok, but when I use a litle, they freeze and blinking the Caps Lock and Scrool Lock lights, someone knows what this mean ? TKS | 11:54 |
| KbuntuStudio | Zirdoa1: Yes I have | 11:54 |
| Nitroray | Pajamian - Still Thanks, now I need Hischild again :P | 11:54 |
| legend2440 | KbuntuStudio: I had same problem. I had to add line to xorg.conf under Section "Extensions" that says Option "Composite" "Enable" | 11:54 |
| hischild | hehe :-) we all help together | 11:54 |
| KbuntuStudio | \ok | 11:55 |
| [CroX] | I have just installed Ubuntu on a laptop and now it doesn't show any network interfaces, so I can't connect anywhere, nor any gfx cards so I'm stuck at a 800x600 resolution. Could someone please help me figure this out? | 11:55 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: try follow legend2440 advice, i also need your graphics card information and what version of ubuntu you are using | 11:55 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, in that case my best suggestion would be to look at debian admin guides. There's a site for it, but I can't recall it off the top of my head. | 11:55 |
| hischild | Nitroray, if i'm correct in my thinking, you're missing a package called xserver-xgl. So go ahead, open up a console and type " sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl " hit enter and tell me if it installs it or if it says it already is installed | 11:55 |
| Ziroda1 | [CroX]: try running the Restricted Drivers Manager | 11:55 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | Johnny_5, you there buddy | 11:55 |
| [CroX] | Ziroda1: It's not in there either. | 11:55 |
| giggsey | Would something like squid do it? | 11:56 |
| KbuntuStudio | Zirdoa1: UbuntuStudio 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. Has a ATi Graphics Card. | 11:56 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - :D:D:D:D ITs installing and downloading :D:D:D | 11:56 |
| [CroX] | Ziroda1: Only Atheros HAL. | 11:56 |
| Johnny_5 | Keith_Mc-Kay: yeah just tryin' 2 look something up | 11:56 |
| ulaas | hi!. how may i set rc.local run on boot by default on gutsy? | 11:56 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | k | 11:56 |
| Ziroda1 | [CroX]: does it say the card drivers have been installed? | 11:56 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | im in maintenance mode | 11:56 |
| hischild | [CroX], do you happen to know if you have an atheros 5007 EG? | 11:56 |
| Nitroray | hischild - Its installed now, what to do noww ? | 11:56 |
| hischild | Nitroray, try it again :-) | 11:56 |
| hischild | Nitroray, the enabling of effects | 11:57 |
| Nitroray | hischild - It works like windows, I need to restart, or not? | 11:57 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: what model? | 11:57 |
| hischild | Nitroray, nope, you don't have to restart | 11:57 |
| KbuntuStudio | umm........idk | 11:57 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Is that normal in Ubuntu ? | 11:57 |
| hischild | Nitroray, not specific to ubuntu, more to unix in general. | 11:57 |
| [CroX] | hischild: No idea, it's a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo. | 11:58 |
| hischild | Nitroray, if you want, feel fre to reboot, I'll be here waiting :-) | 11:58 |
| KbuntuStudio | Zidora1: i dont know | 11:58 |
| pajamian | Nitroray: there are some things you need to restart for in ubuntu, but nowhere near as much as for windows. | 11:58 |
| [CroX] | hischild: Let me check.. | 11:58 |
| Nitroray | HIschild - It aint working now, I reboot ? | 11:58 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Im rebooting, brb | 11:58 |
| croppa | a friend has closed all the panels on his ubuntu desktop..so that he now cannt click to launch a program...How do I get them back? | 11:58 |
| Ziroda1 | KbuntuStudio: type "lspci | grep Graphics" | 11:58 |
| LoLLo | where can i put some folders which are necessary for the running of some programs ( linke Lexmark, skype etc etc ) that currently i've in the desktop ... ? in /share ? ? ? | 11:59 |
| [CroX] | The wired network wont work either. I tried running defining eth0/1 in the interfaces file but it said "No such device". | 11:59 |
| tapas | ok | 11:59 |
| tapas | openoffice is totally not working here | 11:59 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, http://www.debian-administration.org/ | 11:59 |
| Shrugz | is there a way i can view all packages i have installed on my harddrive via my terminal? | 11:59 |
| tapas | no suitable windowing system found, exiting. | 11:59 |
| tapas | web search gives no clue | 12:00 |
| legend2440 | KbuntuStudio: after you add "Composite" "Enable" to xorg.conf you need to reboot | 12:00 |
| tapas | presentation in 1 hour | 12:00 |
| tapas | i'm screwed | 12:00 |
| Ziroda1 | tapas: what version of ubuntu are you running? | 12:00 |
| tapas | gutsy | 12:00 |
| hischild | legend2440, only gdm ;-) ctrl alt backspace | 12:00 |
| Ziroda1 | t?apas: with gnome and metacity or gnome and compiz? if compiz is it using emerald? | 12:01 |
| tapas | no compiz | 12:01 |
| legend2440 | <hischild: yes you are correct sir | 12:01 |
| hischild | legend2440, dont you sir me :p i aint that old yet | 12:02 |
| KbuntuStudio | legend2440: How do i add "Composite" "Enable" to xorg.conf | 12:02 |
| Johnny_5 | Keith_Mc-Kay: try https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/edubuntu-users/2006-November/000394.html | 12:02 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | thankyou | 12:02 |
| Johnny_5 | let me know how it goes | 12:02 |
| legend2440 | hischild: couldn't remember the keystrokes to restart gdm lol | 12:02 |
| legend2440 | i'm getting senile | 12:03 |
| hischild | legend2440, np :-) if you'd ask ubotu he'd say /etc/init.d/?dm restart :-) | 12:03 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | ok, i need to pico the xorg.conf | 12:03 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | not something ive done before :D | 12:03 |
| legend2440 | ok thx | 12:03 |
| Shrugz | argg closed the channel by mistake but as i was asking is there a program or a commandline i can use to view all the installed packages on my system? | 12:03 |
| KbuntuStudio | legend2440: How do i add "Composite" "Enable" to xorg.conf | 12:03 |
| hischild | Shrugz, you can use synaptic? | 12:04 |
| Shrugz | hischild i was unaware synaptic let you view the installed packages | 12:04 |
| legend2440 | KbuntuStudio sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg/xorg.conf | 12:04 |
| hischild | Shrugz, it does, they have the little filled square in front o fit | 12:04 |
| KbuntuStudio | :ok | 12:04 |
| [CroX] | hischild: SiS196, does that tell you anything? It's listed together with the info about the network card. | 12:05 |
| Shrugz | hischild i mean a program that can let me view all installed packages at once | 12:05 |
| KbuntuStudio | Legend2440: Now what? | 12:05 |
| hischild | [CroX], not really :( | 12:06 |
| hischild | hmm ... JW at my door ... back in a few hours | 12:06 |
| hischild | :P | 12:06 |
| legend2440 | KbuntuStudio: section may be already in xorg.conf and you just need to change "Disable" to "Enable" | 12:06 |
| KbuntuStudio | nothing is in the file | 12:06 |
| reikalusikka | how do I load kde? | 12:06 |
| giggsey | Would it be possible to use squid proxy + iptables MoLE_? I need to make sure that the 192.168. subnet can't see anything within 10.* | 12:06 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | Johnny_5, I not sure what I should be changing here. | 12:07 |
| tapas | i guess java is broken | 12:07 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | plug and play, and failsafe moniter | 12:07 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | im on that section | 12:07 |
| legend2440 | KbuntuStudio: you have nothing in your xorg.conf file??? | 12:07 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, you probably wouldn't even need to use squid. but you could certainly achieve this with some iptables magic. Not sure about an easy GUI for this though.. | 12:08 |
| KbuntuStudio | legend2440: Nothing is in the file/ | 12:08 |
| giggsey | MoLE_: Could I do it via webmin? | 12:08 |
| LoLLo | can i create a link of the file system in the desktop ? ? ? | 12:09 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, is it a headless server?? | 12:09 |
| giggsey | MoLE_: headless as in no monitor/keyboard/mouse/gui, yup | 12:10 |
| Johnny_5 | Keith_Mc-Kay: r u still @ 800-600? | 12:10 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | no idea | 12:10 |
| giggsey | Actually, iptables should be fine in theory. Just redirect all 10.* traffic on port 8080 to 192.168.0.1:8080 and then block everything else going to 192.* | 12:11 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | im on the laptop screen in a shell looking in etc//x11/ | 12:11 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | if i deleted what was there, would the system go back to dufaults | 12:12 |
| MoLE_ | giggsey, I've no experience with webmin, but I've heard it's extremely powerful and flexible - it may do the job. | 12:13 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | rebooted, i can see nothing on screen, moniter is pluged back in | 12:14 |
| giggsey | Okay, thanks MoLE_, I shall spend my afternoon looking into it | 12:14 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | waiting and listening | 12:14 |
| Nitroray | Who was helping me again ? | 12:15 |
| Nitroray | with the graphics ? | 12:15 |
| hischild | [CroX], alright you still having bad luck with your lan? | 12:16 |
| hischild | (or wlan?) | 12:16 |
| Nitroray | HIschild :D | 12:16 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - It worked, a little | 12:16 |
| [CroX] | hischild: Yeah, I'm afraid so. :/ | 12:16 |
| hischild | Nitroray, define a little | 12:16 |
| hischild | [CroX], hmm ... it has integrated wlan? | 12:16 |
| [CroX] | hischild: I thought I'd download Hardy and try upgrading with a CD, because someone said the network chip of my laptop isn't very compatible with 7.10. | 12:16 |
| fastfinger | Hmm, my screen flickers at boot up, like when the cable is disconnected in a television, any idea? works fine when booding through live cd/windows | 12:16 |
| [CroX] | hischild: Yes. | 12:17 |
| Johnny_5 | Keith_Mc-Kay: i just sent u a pm | 12:17 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - I'm loosing my mouse sometimes, and the screen echo's on some places, so when I close some app, it will still keep a little bit of it, while its gone, understand me ? | 12:17 |
| Nitroray | HIschild - I lost my mouse again :( | 12:17 |
| hischild | Nitroray, yes i do. I've seen the same thing before. | 12:17 |
| hischild | Nitroray, you can try to ctrl alt f2 to go to a differnet terminal, and type "compiz --replace" | 12:18 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Well. even on none graphics it keeps doing it.. Is it about the package I installed? | 12:18 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Okaay | 12:18 |
| hischild | Nitroray, it's compiz who is sometimes slightly bugged | 12:18 |
| fastfinger | Also, I get a booting local script or something , says that about 3 times, screen flashes and says that, then when I am supposed to get a login screen I get that flickring thingy | 12:18 |
| simplexio | Nitroray: do you have wireless mouse ? | 12:18 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - ill do it, but I like the giggly windows, and all the zooming and the pan. | 12:18 |
| hischild | Nitroray, you'll keep those. The only thing compiz --replace does, is reload compiz again. | 12:19 |
| hischild | Nitroray, after you've typed that hit ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to here | 12:19 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - No the Icon is loosing, not the mouse, when I move the mouse, sometimes I see him | 12:19 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - I have a wired mouse | 12:19 |
| hischild | simplexio, he has a wired mouse (wrong nick) | 12:19 |
| fastfinger | I think a problem with xorg maybe? i have no idea what to do at all | 12:19 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | I got low grapics mode back, im ok, least i can see the screen | 12:20 |
| Johnny_5 | awesome | 12:20 |
| simplexio | Nitroray: check batteries. only time when i have lose mouse is when batteries are allmoust out | 12:20 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | 800x600 is all i can get.. | 12:20 |
| === manish is now known as monzie | ||
| hischild | simplexio, wired mouse != batteries? | 12:20 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | i would have liked it to use a higher res | 12:20 |
| Johnny_5 | it won't let u?? | 12:20 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | but ifs its going to create issues | 12:21 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | well the moniter comes up unkown | 12:21 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | its an LC22SFD | 12:21 |
| Johnny_5 | do u use gnome? | 12:21 |
| simplexio | hischild: well, low on power | 12:21 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | so if I leave it on generic | 12:21 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | year I use gnome | 12:21 |
| Nitroray | Hischild? My mouse has still gone... | 12:22 |
| danand | fastfinger - that sounds to me like your monitor is being made to flicker etc by switching between resolutions etc at various stages of the boot process .... | 12:22 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Reboot ? | 12:22 |
| ThreeFingerPete | i return! seemingly triumphant! thanks to all that helped! the two i can remember dont seem to be here, but let me tell you; you are all a great bunch of people! | 12:22 |
| dm_ | hello every one, i am asking about the best brand of laptops that work perfectly with linux , espcailly Ubuntu 7.1 | 12:22 |
| hischild | Nitroray, can do, but probably won't do much good | 12:22 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - What to do else ? | 12:22 |
| hischild | Nitroray, i'm thinking | 12:22 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - When I reboot, I will be able to get back here? I'll wait for what you think, Sorry for my bad english :$ | 12:23 |
| hadi | hiii | 12:23 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | its working now through the moniter not the laptop, thats what i want.. | 12:23 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | but its only 800x600 | 12:24 |
| hischild | Nitroray, no problem, you're trying which is much more appreciated then trying to force answers | 12:24 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | i can live with that. its setup for running servers. | 12:24 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Above this chat it says: Be patient ;) | 12:24 |
| dm_ | can any one answer me about the best brand of laptops what work well with linux | 12:24 |
| Nitroray | dm_ ask the seller ?? | 12:24 |
| hischild | Nitroray, yes it does. Most are unable to read that for some reason ;-) | 12:24 |
| Nitroray | like dm_ :P | 12:25 |
| ThreeFingerPete | dm_: i havent had any luck with acer | 12:25 |
| hischild | ThreeFingerPete, that isn't entirely true ... i'm running an acer 5520 fine now :-) | 12:25 |
| Johnny_5 | i use enlightenment and don't have my other comp with me so bear with me... | 12:25 |
| === lil is now known as aussiev8girl | ||
| ThreeFingerPete | hischild: really! i cannot get it to install. partition problems | 12:26 |
| dm_ | and if i am living in a place where the sellers don't know what linux is !! | 12:26 |
| hischild | ThreeFingerPete, yeah ... it took a bit of trouble and custom compiling to get it all working, but it works flawlessly now | 12:26 |
| Nitroray | dm_ Erm.. ask them if they are dumb ? | 12:26 |
| danand | dm_ - check out dells new stuff - goto www.ubuntu.com - there is a link and some info on screen. Also check out www.linux-laptop.net | 12:26 |
| gpellis64 | dm_: i think dell do a laptop with ubuntu installed | 12:27 |
| dm_ | what i can do then other than asking people who use laptops and find the best one | 12:27 |
| ThreeFingerPete | hischild: i am tempted to pull the hdd and install on it. the machine has heat issues; which is why i retired it from xp duties | 12:27 |
| Nitroray | dm_: you can ask www.Google.com ?? | 12:27 |
| pajamian | dm_: a good idea is to order a dell laptop with ubuntu pre-installed. | 12:27 |
| Johnny_5 | Keith_Mc-Kay: go to the folder after places (not applications) the name of which escapes me, go to the one on the top and scroll down the list u should see a selection the says screen resolution...click on that and u should be able to chang it from there. its safe...it'll try it out 4 u and ask if u want to keep it or go back to the last one | 12:27 |
| hischild | ThreeFingerPete, you probably already know that ubuntu is amazingly cool in cpu temp etc right? :P | 12:28 |
| dm_ | yes, i googeled this topic and found that Dell is the best for me until now | 12:28 |
| ThreeFingerPete | hischild: my brother is getting a laptop of some sort tomorrow. if its an acer, any suggestions? he wants some 'buntu on it | 12:28 |
| dm_ | but , the question is , does the hardware from Dell is better or that from Ibm or toshiba , | 12:28 |
| ThreeFingerPete | hischild: it sure is cooler. | 12:28 |
| hischild | ThreeFingerPete, i think we can get it to work, if need be with some help from from folks around here | 12:29 |
| pajamian | dm_: dell isn't great hardware but they do sell with ubuntu pre-installed. | 12:29 |
| Nitroray | dm_: I preffer Toshiba, because they have the best cooling.. | 12:29 |
| hischild | but no ... not a specific version i can recommend. I got a 5520 :-) | 12:29 |
| ThreeFingerPete | hischild: i am sure we can. folks around here are great! | 12:29 |
| hischild | ThreeFingerPete, we spend 10 hours getting my main box working :p | 12:29 |
| pajamian | dm_: I've also heard that toshiba makes the best laptops. | 12:29 |
| ThreeFingerPete | i'd like to try a ubuntu tablet | 12:30 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Shall I try to reboot ? | 12:30 |
| hischild | Nitroray, if you want to reboot, you're always free to do so. I'm not moving any time soon (other then to grab food) | 12:30 |
| dm_ | the question is, does toshiba laptops compatible , i mean most of the hardware, with ubuntu | 12:30 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Okaaay | 12:30 |
| Tex-Twil | good afternoon | 12:31 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Else I get back here for more help ? :$ | 12:31 |
| pajamian | Ubuntu will go on just about anything, though. I managed to install it on a macbook the other day, after I worked out that it doesn't like to have a seperate /boot partition. | 12:31 |
| Nitroray | good morning Tex-Twil | 12:31 |
| hischild | Nitroray, it's a support channel for a reason :-) when i'm not around, others are :-) | 12:31 |
| LemonNotGeoff | What is the hosts file variant for unbuntu? | 12:31 |
| hischild | Nitroray, besides, i've gota a lot to learn | 12:31 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - That's for sure :D | 12:31 |
| hischild | LemonNotGeoff, /etc/hosts | 12:31 |
| LemonNotGeoff | ok thx | 12:31 |
| Tex-Twil | How can I list the content of a .deb file ? | 12:31 |
| Da_Putzler | If I replace Nautilus with PcManFM, will it still load Nautilus in the background ??? | 12:32 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Well Ubuntu is my hobby. But my mums sais Windows works better, because its infiltret with the whole internet, pages like hyves.nl :( they discriminate Unix and Linux :@ | 12:32 |
| danand | dm_ - best advice is to go into the shop with the live cd - pop it in, reboot, and see if ubuntu runs. if the seller is serious about helping a prospective buyer they will let you try it. | 12:32 |
| fastfinger | Hmm, I don't remember messing with my visuals, but any way to restore it to the way it was working? | 12:33 |
| pajamian | Tex-Twil: dpkg -c filename | 12:33 |
| Johnny_5 | Keith_Mc-Kay: i hope i was @ least a little bit helpful... | 12:33 |
| Tex-Twil | Thanks pajamian | 12:33 |
| hischild | Nitroray, it's also my hobby. I'm goin to try the impossible somewhere later today (which is switching back to 7,10 ... yet keeping my current hardy install) | 12:33 |
| hischild | Nitroray, also, you can learn a lot faster by just diving into it :_) | 12:33 |
| hischild | :-) | 12:33 |
| LoLLo | can i create a link of the file system in the desktop ? ? ? | 12:34 |
| dm_ | thanks danand | 12:34 |
| Da_Putzler | can I safely remove nautilus and stop it loading in the backround if I switch to PcMANfm | 12:34 |
| pajamian | LoLLo: can you elaborate, I'm not sure what you mean. | 12:34 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | Johnny_5, thankyou mate, you got my screen back | 12:35 |
| dm_ | i think that this is what i will do, with whatever laptop i will buy either IBM , toshiba or dell | 12:35 |
| hischild | Da_Putzler, unrecommended since it's depended on by quite some programs as far as i know, but if you can tell them to use pcmanfm then in theory you could | 12:35 |
| dann | is there a recovery option on ubuntu? I think I removed 1 to many packages :D | 12:35 |
| brambo | pajamian: i can't seem to get back on my registered nick | 12:35 |
| danand | dm_ - np - also check out that link i gave you earlier www.linux-laptop.net | 12:35 |
| Da_Putzler | thx hischild | 12:35 |
| Johnny_5 | np | 12:35 |
| hischild | dann, what package did you remove? | 12:35 |
| Keith_Mc-Kay | now i know what all that does, im trying out other modes in failsafe | 12:35 |
| LoLLo | i need to go to the / folder from an icon of the desktop | 12:35 |
| pajamian | brambo: ok, did you paste what I asked into the pastebin? | 12:35 |
| dann | I removed gstreamer because it didnt play my vid files | 12:35 |
| Johnny_5 | cool | 12:35 |
| brambo | yeah 1 sec | 12:35 |
| ThreeFingerPete | Nitroray: learn fastest by breaking things | 12:35 |
| Da_Putzler | vlc always worked better for movies/audo | 12:36 |
| dann | it said it needed to remove linked packages | 12:36 |
| brambo | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57687/ | 12:36 |
| Johnny_5 | well need 2 go 2 bed now | 12:36 |
| dann | Yeh, but VLC wont install either | 12:36 |
| Johnny_5 | later all | 12:36 |
| pajamian | LoLLo: ln -s / ~/Desktop/filesystem | 12:36 |

| dann | it says it conflicts with another package, check in synaptics | 12:37 |
| Da_Putzler | are you installing it through the add/remove proggy ? | 12:38 |
| dann | yes | 12:38 |
| pajamian | brambo: I see the problem, I think... | 12:38 |
| Da_Putzler | goto synaptic and make sure vlc isnt already on the system in some form | 12:38 |
| Da_Putzler | if it is, remove and re-install | 12:38 |
| brambo | pajamian: what is OSD ? | 12:39 |
| LoLLo | ok thx ! another thing .. where are ubuntu's icons ? in which folder ? | 12:39 |

| LoLLo | is there a way to delete the white arrow of the link paja ? ? | 12:42 |

| Nitroray | HIschild - Did not worked (rebooting I mean) | 12:42 |
| pajamian | brambo: do this: sudo su -c 'echo "deb http://apt.rigsofrods.com/ / Packages" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rigsofrods.list' | 12:42 |
| dann | gstreamer stuff | 12:42 |
| Da_Putzler | dann: what things ? | 12:42 |
| dann | but I think I deleted the wrong things | 12:42 |
| Da_Putzler | u tried installing gstreamer again and then installing vlc... | 12:42 |
| hischild | Nitroray, i was afraid of that ... i'm afraid i have to pass it on since i'm out of things :( | 12:42 |
| dann | Everything concerning gstreamer | 12:42 |
| dann | yeh, gstreamer gives even weirder errors | 12:42 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Btw, what's the diffrence between the Xserver Client??, GNOME, and others ? | 12:43 |
| Da_Putzler | dann: yeh, sound like u need a fresh install... something's went wrong | 12:43 |
| hischild | Nitroray, one thing you could try is setting it to custom .. | 12:43 |
| Nitroray | only the look ? | 12:43 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - How ? | 12:43 |
| hischild | Nitroray, the basics on how they are build ... | 12:43 |
| brambo | pajamian: i did that, now its back to the desktop:~$ | 12:43 |
| pajamian | LoLLo: not sure off the top of my head, that arrow shows that it's a symbolic link, and it's generally a good thing that it's there. | 12:43 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - How to set it custom ? | 12:43 |
| hischild | Nitroray, system -> preferences -> appearance -> there's that option of full or sth like that? there should be an option custom | 12:43 |
| pajamian | brambo: sudo apt-get update | 12:43 |
| legend2440 | dookdook: /var/cache/apt/archives | 12:43 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Thanks | 12:44 |
| Da_Putzler | dann: thing is, if you dont necessarily use something, you dont have to remove it completely unless it's a silly program or utility... | 12:44 |

| legend2440 | dookdook if you use synaptic or apt-get to download packages they go in /var/cache/apt/archives unless you did a apt-get clean | 12:47 |

| khalood | I don't have a cd rom , and unetbootin is hard to deal with | 12:51 |
| Nitroray | Hischild, maybe this works.. | 12:51 |
| willis_ | franz1789, seems that compiz or somthing is crashing. Try disabling all the desktop effects. | 12:51 |
| khalood | any simple explaination | 12:51 |
| pajamian | brambo: give me one min ... | 12:51 |
| franz1789 | willis_, I have not compiz or stuff like these | 12:51 |
| pajamian | brambo: I'm going to experiment some | 12:51 |
| hischild | Nitroray, that would be the compiz --replace | 12:51 |
| LoLLo | pajaman ... i don't know but i've deleted the Adobe folder of the desktop and then it doesn't run anymore !!! i just wanna move that folders in a right position and don't have them in thedesktop | 12:51 |
| brambo | pajamian: i get a strange message when i open my update manager, i will post a link from pastebin | 12:51 |
| willis_ | franz1789, are you saying you remioved compiz? right click desktop -> change wallpaper -> Visual effects Select NONE. | 12:52 |
| pajamian | brambo: don't worry about it, the update manager won't work if there's a bad line in the sources.list ... | 12:52 |

| Nitroray | How to put graphics to none, without using the mouse? I can use Terminal. | 12:53 |
| hischild | X-Seti, welcome home? | 12:53 |
| franz1789 | willis_, yep, I removed it, but I never used it, so the visual effects are already set to none | 12:53 |
| LoLLo | how to cut a file from the terminal ? what's the command ? | 12:53 |
| fastfinger | I wrote everythig down here, if any one could help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4421205#post4421205 | 12:53 |
| franz1789 | willis_, the problem is in metacity, don't know what is it | 12:53 |
| willis_ | franz1789, by removeing it - you broke some things. - gnome is launching a 'default window manager' and by removeing compiz - you broke how it figures out the default. | 12:54 |
| fastfinger | LoLLo: cut as in cut and paste? use mv command | 12:54 |
| Nitroray | Anybody? HOW to put graphics to NONE, without using the mouse ??? ? | 12:54 |

| Nitroray | Hischild - Can you please use it on me ? | 13:05 |
| hischild | Nitroray, i don't know how to set up vnc properly so i can't ... mostly since the most difficult part would be on your end | 13:05 |
| hischild | what you can do, is hit ctrl alt f2, login and remove xserver-xgl and then reboot | 13:06 |

| Nitroray | Hischild - NOw its already removed :( | 13:11 |
| hischild | Nitroray, yes it has been removed if you executed my previous command. Now , since there are still unupdated packages around, you can update it | 13:11 |
| Nitroray | Hischild? | 13:14 |
| Nitroray | it worked. | 13:14 |
| hischild | yes | 13:14 |
| hischild | good | 13:14 |
| brambo | i think im gonna head out for a bit, later everyone | 13:15 |
| Nitroray | Yeah, but I really need the Extra Grapphics, I need to show my school that we need to use Ubuntu ipo XP... | 13:15 |
| hischild | Nitroray, but you have your mouse back? | 13:15 |
| JuJuBee | I am having trouble starting dansguardian. I get this error ... Error binding server socket (is something else running on the filter port and ip? [8080 192.168.6.200]) How do I see what else is using port 8080? | 13:16 |
| [D]ANIEL[a] | dfsdfdhgjn | 13:16 |
| [D]ANIEL[a] | so prais | 13:16 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Yes, but I think I could not update because of my next error: when I close some application like Pidgin, it should be on the Bar right ? like a small icon. well. it keeps me online, but it won't get placed at the toolbar :( how to solve this problem ? | 13:17 |
| nikon252 | anyone know how I can solve this problem: | 13:17 |
| hischild | Nitroray, usually the apps have their own preferences for that. You can check for pidgin in it's options | 13:17 |

| soussou | can I ask a little question here? I have a weird color scheme on my box, I like it a lot, but when I use firefox to search for something, the suggestions that pop up are unreadable, as they are black on a black background. | 13:17 |
| soussou | any ideas how this can be changed? | 13:17 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - No, it aint that, becus when I use Evolution, it happens too, long time this did not happen, and I did not change configuration.. :( | 13:18 |
| hischild | Nitroray, that's odd ... :( | 13:18 |
| hischild | Nitroray, i'm not sure why it'd do that | 13:18 |
| willis_ | JuJuBee, you are running it as root/with sudo? - (other then that - i got no clue) | 13:18 |
| JuJuBee | willis_ : yes | 13:19 |
| Nitroray | Hischild - Is there a way to get to the very very very 1st settings from Ubunut, I installed some 3rd party progs. I guess its that... | 13:19 |
| Presario | guys, when i am in the graphical ubuntu desktop and i disable xserver, my monitor says no input | 13:19 |
| willis_ | JuJuBee, sure you havent accidently ran it twice? | 13:19 |
| hischild | JuJuBee, netstat -a :-) | 13:19 |

| fujin | is there some other cli tool that can better tell me where disk usag eis? | 13:20 |

| hischild | Nitroray, as far as i know | 13:20 |

| bod_ | hischild, hey dude,.how did the graphics card thing go ? | 13:20 |
| soussou | any ideas how this can be changed? | 13:20 |
| hischild | bod_, fine! | 13:20 |
| Nitroray | Somebody else know how to get to the blanco Ubuntu? So it will only have the standard programs like Evolution Mozilla and Pidgin ??? | 13:21 |
| bod_ | soussou, firefox preferences-->colours preference afaik | 13:21 |
| hischild | bod_, yet now i'm trying to do the same thing on 7,10, since hardy is a little bit 2 unstable for me atm | 13:21 |
| soussou | bod: I tried that one, it doesn't work | 13:21 |
| bod_ | hischild, wicked! how did you fix the gdm carsh? | 13:21 |
| bod_ | soussou, chane your theme? | 13:21 |
| JuJuBee | hischild : no dansguardian listed | 13:21 |
| hischild | bod_, apparently it works fine when i turn acpi off ... the only thing i'm still thinking about is why the live cd would crash when i turned acpi off | 13:22 |
| hischild | bod_, and with the i386 kernel instead of the generic :-) | 13:22 |
| bod_ | hischild, sounds painfully complicated,.,. | 13:22 |
| hischild | bod_, only took me all night :-) | 13:23 |
| bod_ | ;~) | 13:23 |
| soussou | bod: it's a radical solution | 13:23 |
| bod_ | soussou, allow firefox to use default firefox theme not your theme? | 13:24 |
| hischild | soussou, which solution ... ? | 13:24 |
| bod_ | hischild, changing whole theme | 13:24 |
| hischild | ah | 13:24 |
| soussou | bod: how would u do that? | 13:24 |
| soussou | I would love to be able to do that | 13:24 |
| soussou | but I don't know how to | 13:25 |

| tinman | do i need to name it? | 13:59 |
| Pendeta | hischild, I'm in Indonesia, and the web server in in the USA. Could that have anything to do with it? | 13:59 |
| rx-DONNiE | is there an easy way to recover or reinstall ubuntu? | 13:59 |
| inx-one | tinman: just use the defaults until you come to the driver section - then choose vesa | 13:59 |
| _maney | legend2440: that's an option, but he XML will take a bunch of cleaning up, reformatting... and the issue HERE is that abiword ralphs | 13:59 |
| ppibburr | rx- | 13:59 |
| ppibburr | rx- What is meant by recover? | 13:59 |
| tinman | inx-one: after i choosed vesa, it asked me that | 14:00 |
| erUSUL | Slart: also you can play with the journal mode of ext3 (mount option data=whatever) | 14:00 |
| inx-one | tinman: and choose the "eaasy" option - we are just trying to make X work | 14:00 |
| hischild | Pendeta, not as far as my knowledge goes | 14:00 |
| rx-DONNiE | deleted some files that shouldnt be deleted | 14:00 |
| inx-one | tinman: hmmm - shouldn't matter as far as I know | 14:00 |
| archman | a little ot: where to find channel xmms? | 14:00 |
| tinman | inx-one: so i just leave the name as Generic Vedio Card? | 14:00 |
| Slart | erUSUL: you think the journal is causing it?... well.. it's worth trying | 14:00 |
| tinman | k | 14:00 |
| inx-one | tinman: yes | 14:00 |
| ppibburr | what type of files? | 14:00 |
| rx-DONNiE | so i need to get ubuntu back in its origional state | 14:00 |
| inx-one | tinman: in general, the defaults are OK | 14:00 |
| Pendeta | hischild, ok, many thanks. | 14:01 |
| Slart | rx-DONNiE: depends on what files you deleted | 14:01 |
| tinman | inx-one: k ^^ | 14:01 |
| rx-DONNiE | deleted gstreamer via synaptics, and it deleted some files with it | 14:01 |
| tinman | inx-one: it askes me amount of memory to be used by vedio card? :o | 14:01 |
| gpellis64 | what is the next ubuntu title | 14:01 |
| piotreek | Hi guys! | 14:01 |
| rx-DONNiE | getting errors like | 14:01 |
| erUSUL | Slart: ext3 does full data metadata journalling by default (slower) other fs only journal metadata by default | 14:01 |
| rx-DONNiE | couldnt find gnome: mix applet | 14:01 |
| archman | gpellis64 hardy heron? | 14:01 |
| Slart | rx-DONNiE: I supposed you could boot from a live cd and try copying files from the live system to your harddrive.. I don't think it can get worse by trying that =) | 14:01 |
| rx-DONNiE | and gnome: trash applet | 14:01 |
| piotreek | can somebody tell me where in Kubuntu 7.10 default iptables rules are set? | 14:01 |
| inx-one | tinman: but once you have X working, you might want to google your video card etc - the memory just leave blank | 14:02 |
| ppibburr | apt-get install gstreamer? | 14:02 |
| gpellis64 | archman:thank you | 14:02 |
| inx-one | tinman: as I said, just accept the defaults except for vesa | 14:02 |
| tinman | inx-one: asaik, i have an inbuild graphics card, a tomato mother board with a intel celron processor | 14:02 |
| archman | gpellis64: no stable release yet.... | 14:02 |
| erUSUL | piotreek: there are no "default iptables rules" on (k,x, )ubuntu | 14:02 |
| piotreek | i have writed firewall script but when i restart my ubuntu my firewall rules | 14:02 |
| Slart | erUSUL: yes.. but this is a filesystem that rarely changes.. I didn't think the journal was involved in reading data from a fs.. but I might be wrong. | 14:02 |
| piotreek | are from out of space | 14:02 |
| rx-DONNiE | hmmmm | 14:02 |
| piotreek | and i cannot acces internet etc.. | 14:03 |
| rx-DONNiE | I currently have dualboot | 14:03 |
| rx-DONNiE | does it still maintain that when reinstalling? | 14:03 |
| piotreek | i am starting it by /etc/init.d/firewall | 14:03 |
| erUSUL | piotreek: in a default install 'sudo iptables -L' should return empty rules | 14:03 |
| inx-one | tinman: you might need to know more than that :) Try running lspci | grep VGA | 14:03 |
| piotreek | erUSUL, the problem is not returning empty rules | 14:03 |
| piotreek | and not returning rules writed by me executed on firewall script | 14:04 |
| ppibburr | rx-DONNIE if you have dependency problems from removing gstreamer, the apt-get install gstreamer should fix it | 14:04 |
| jrib | _maney: hmm, first try creating a fresh new user and verify it crashes on that account. If it does, obtain a backtrace (see ubotu) | 14:04 |
| erUSUL | piotreek: do a 'iptables -F' to flush everything before adding your own rules | 14:04 |
| jrib | !backtrace > _maney (read the private message from ubotu) | 14:04 |
| piotreek | erUSUL, i tried no luck | 14:04 |
| Slart | erUSUL: remember the default policies.. -f doesn't clear those | 14:04 |
| tinman | inx-one: 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller (rev 03) | 14:04 |
| piotreek | something is overwriting rules | 14:05 |
| piotreek | i followed this howto | 14:05 |
| inx-one | tinman: OK - so google that with the extra keyword linux and or ubuntu | 14:05 |
| piotreek | http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/install.html#10 | 14:05 |
| rx-DONNiE | need to do that in terminal? | 14:05 |
| ph8_ | hey all, i have a creative sound system that comes with a remote, i assume that the play/pause buttons pass a signal back to the PC somehow - I imagine ubuntu doesn't recognise those signals by default - how can i see if they're being sent when i press buttons and/or get them recognised? | 14:05 |
| ppibburr | yes, with sudo | 14:05 |
| rx-DONNiE | im very new to ubuntu/linux | 14:05 |
| inx-one | tinman: I know nothing about your card ;) | 14:05 |
| jrib | _maney: before the backtrace, try 'abiword --verbose', that might give us some more information | 14:05 |
| ppibburr | sudo apt-get install gstreamer | 14:06 |
| piotreek | erUSUL, so i am looking for place where this rules come up from | 14:06 |
| gpellis64 | archman: i will give it a try alpha 4 | 14:06 |
| ting | Hi | 14:06 |
| ting | how is everyone _ | 14:06 |
| Slart | piotreek: check the rc.d folders.. it should be in there somewhere.. might be in the if.up scripts too | 14:06 |
| _maney | jrib: just uninstalled it :-( | 14:06 |
| tinman | inx-one: lol, i left EVERYTHIGN to default, i'm gonna reboot :s | 14:06 |
| archman | gpellis64: upgrading from gutsy? | 14:06 |
| inx-one | tinman: good luck :) | 14:06 |
| Slart | piotreek: here's a small script that clears firewall rules for you.. http://pikt.org/pikt/samples/iptables_reset_programs.cfg.html | 14:06 |
| rx-DONNiE | ill check it out later, and if that doesnt work | 14:07 |
| rx-DONNiE | ill reinstall | 14:07 |
| rambo3 | ph8_, my first guess would be lirc | 14:07 |
| gpellis64 | archman: no new install | 14:07 |
| rx-DONNiE | hoping it will preserve my dualboot config | 14:07 |
| piotreek | Slart, the problem is i can on top of start script clear iptables rules | 14:07 |
| ph8_ | is that a program rambo3 ? | 14:07 |
| piotreek | but something is clearing it again and sets own rules | 14:07 |
| piotreek | Slart, i will look in rc.d scripts mayby something left | 14:08 |
| rambo3 | !info lirc | ph8_ | 14:08 |
| ubotu | ph8_: lirc (source: lirc): Linux Infra-red Remote Control support. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu8 (gutsy), package size 353 kB, installed size 1720 kB | 14:08 |
| piotreek | THX | 14:08 |
| inx-one | bah, pidgin makes a lousy irc client... | 14:08 |
| * inx-one installs xchat on the live CD | 14:08 | |
| Slart | piotreek: mm.. hang on.. there are scripts that run when your network interface is started.. | 14:08 |
| _maney | jrib: any preference for abiword vs abiword-gnome? they both seem to crash the same :-/ | 14:08 |
| piotreek | Slart, i now /etc/network/scripts? | 14:09 |
| ph8_ | rambo3: ah well the sound system is wired in and responds in itself to things like mute, it's the signals it might be passing back to the PC (through the sound out plug?) that i'm wondering about | 14:09 |
| soussou | hi | 14:09 |
| Slart | piotreek: nope.. in /etc/network/if-up.d and /etc/network/if-pre-up.d | 14:09 |
| piotreek | Slart, i really dont undestand policy of Ubuntu not having iptables script in init.d | 14:09 |
| piotreek | Slart, hold on i will check it | 14:10 |
| soussou | I have some screenlets running, but whenever I shut down my system, they don't reload at startup, how do I make sure that screenlets start running at startup? | 14:10 |
| Slart | piotreek: I'm not really in a position to second-guess their decisions.. I'm sure they have some kind of reason for doing things the way they do | 14:10 |
| jrib | _maney: I don't use either so I can't suggest one, but -gnome probably looks nicer if you are using gnome | 14:10 |
| Slart | =) | 14:10 |
| piotreek | Alleluja ;-) | 14:11 |
| jrib | _maney: for debugging purposes, go with simple abiword | 14:11 |
| dgjones | soussou, when you select the screenlet, there's a tick box to run it at startup | 14:11 |
| piotreek | Slart, i think i found it | 14:11 |
| piotreek | Slart, Guardod script is in /etc/network/if-up.d | 14:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | Can I create a hidden symlink? I want to move my ./exaile directory to my data partition, then just put a symlink back to its normal location under /home/arthur | 14:11 |
| piotreek | Slart, but i removed guardod ;-) | 14:12 |
| ting | hi, i would like to ask if anyone know how to sort the installed programs by size _ | 14:12 |
| ting | ? | 14:12 |
| rambo3 | ph8_, i'll have to go with bunny and a pancake on that. what did you say there? | 14:12 |
| Slart | piotreek: yea.. things get left behind.. it's annoying | 14:12 |
| dooglus | ArthurArchnix: yes | 14:12 |
| Slart | piotreek: did you do apt-get remove --purge ? or just apt-get remove? | 14:12 |
| ting | hi, i would like to ask if anyone know how to sort the installed programs in the Synaptic Packages Manager by size ? | 14:13 |
| piotreek | Slart, not just apt-get remove | 14:13 |
| soussou | dgjones: thanks, found it | 14:13 |
| tinman | inx-one, didint work | 14:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | dooglus: Sweet. | 14:13 |
| Slart | piotreek: try --purge next time.. =) | 14:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | dooglus: thakns. | 14:13 |
| Azures | does unbuntu support crossfire edition card from ati ? | 14:13 |
| erUSUL | ArthurArchnix: yes; you can | 14:14 |
| piotreek | Slart ok i newbie to Ubuntu i used Fedora and RH based system for years | 14:14 |
| piotreek | but i want to try something new :D | 14:14 |
| Slart | piotreek: ah.. first time on a apt-based system? | 14:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | dooglus beat you to it erUSUL, but thanks. | 14:14 |
| piotreek | Slart, basically yes | 14:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | erUSUL: Confirmation never hurt anybody. :) | 14:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | Well, maybe jesus christ. | 14:14 |
| erUSUL | ArthurArchnix: ;) | 14:14 |
| _maney | jrib: abiword --verbose 2 => Aborted (core dumped) (the useless splash image shows up, then the full window just barely appears, then winks out) | 14:15 |
| piotreek | Slart, i also found strange rules source ;-) it is /etc/rc.firewall | 14:15 |
| piotreek | trash from guardog :) | 14:15 |
| Slart | piotreek: huh? must be.. I don't have that one | 14:16 |
| dooglus | ArthurArchnix: whether the application will be happy reading its configuration through a symlink depends on the application, but making a hidden symlink isn't a problem | 14:16 |
| _maney | jrib: and that about uses up my time for chasing after the cause of this for noew, I'm afraid. too many other things clamoring at me :-( | 14:16 |
| jworkman01 | I want to be able to access my network like a folder on my desktop. How would I do this? I was able to do it easily in windows, it seems a bit harder here. maybe I'm missing something | 14:16 |
| erUSUL | piotreek: dpkg -S /etc/rc.firewall should told you which package installed it | 14:16 |
| Slart | jworkman01: you mean a shared folder on another computer? | 14:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | dooglus: Well, we'll see. I've setup the symlink, and exaile is playing. I just want to be able to share the settings and album covers and ratings among the various nixes I setup. | 14:17 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, try connect to server - gives you an icon | 14:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | dooglus: And I don't share home partitions. | 14:17 |
| fx|RabBit | jworkman01: do you want to connect to a windows or a linux network? | 14:17 |
| jworkman01 | Slart: no actually it is an ftp server. I run a website for my sim racing team and am constantly having to update folders and such on the server. Thought I could do it on here as well | 14:17 |
| dooglus | ArthurArchnix: it should be ok. I've had problems in the past doing what you mention, but I don't remember the details. I think maybe it was with Azureus | 14:17 |
| spaghetti_knife | I was wondering if there was a good way to reinstall my apt-get. | 14:18 |
| Slart | jworkman01: as thoreauputic said.. in the Places menu.. connect to network.. | 14:18 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, try connect to server as I suggested | 14:18 |
| spaghetti_knife | I change software sources and talk to my isp and everything, but nothing's working. | 14:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | I'll keep my eye on it. Cheers dooglus | 14:18 |
| Slart | spaghetti_knife: sudo apt-get install --reinstall apt | 14:18 |
| Slart | spaghetti_knife: of course.. you need a working apt to do that =) | 14:18 |
| jworkman01 | Slart: LOL! sorry guys, you were right, I was making more of it than it really was. OMG! I feel like an idiot right now | 14:18 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, you can also bookmark that in your file manager by the way, once set up | 14:18 |
| piotreek | Slart, spaghetti_knife just chroot to system using ubuntu live CD ;-) | 14:19 |
| jworkman01 | thoreauputic: LOL! Yes I did it, thank | 14:19 |
| jworkman01 | thanks | 14:19 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, what is the problem with apt? | 14:19 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, no need - it's all new and different :) | 14:19 |
| Slart | jworkman01: nah.. you're far from idiot-status so far =) | 14:19 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: it doesn't install much of anything. | 14:19 |
| jworkman01 | LOL! | 14:19 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, I mean no need to feel silly :) | 14:19 |
| piotreek | ok thanks guys ;-) | 14:19 |
| OleMoudi | hi!, I read 7.10 installer offers the option of encrypting partitions, I am currently in the "Prepare partitions" step of the installation and I don't see any option regarding that, do I have to enable something? | 14:20 |
| piotreek | i must gone now | 14:20 |
| jworkman01 | thoreauputic: I gotcha | 14:20 |
| piotreek | have a nice day!! | 14:20 |
| piotreek | bye | 14:20 |
| erUSUL | OleMoudi: i think that only the alternate installer has that option | 14:20 |
| Tu13es | doh, I upgraded network-manager to 0.7 but that pwnd my network devices. I removed it thinking I could install the old version, but realized I can't install without a network connection! | 14:20 |
| spaghetti_knife | It's not even reinstalling itself. | 14:20 |
| spaghetti_knife | It can't download apt. | 14:20 |
| Slart | OleMoudi: I'm only guessing here.. but I think you have to use the alternate install if you want to do anything weird.. (encrypting boot partitions is considered weird in this context) =) | 14:20 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, if you want to see silliness, just hang around for three years like me - you will see pleenty of it ;p | 14:20 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, yeah but does it stop at 0 %, are ther broken, do you get error on apt-get | 14:20 |
| Bo^Dick | hi | 14:21 |
| OleMoudi | Slart how do I use alternate installer? is one of the other options when booting from the CD? | 14:21 |
| Slart | OleMoudi: it's a different cd altogether | 14:21 |
| erUSUL | !alternate | OleMoudi | 14:21 |
| jworkman01 | thoreauputic: Oh I'm sure! I know I have come in here and asked some questions that have probably made some people laugh | 14:21 |
| ubotu | OleMoudi: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 14:21 |
| Slart | OleMoudi: there is the live cd.. then there's the alternate cd.. | 14:21 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: Reinstallation of apt is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. | 14:21 |
| CLC | / bye | 14:21 |
| OleMoudi | Slart I see, does that mean encryption support is still "unstable" and I should not rely heavily on it? | 14:22 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, there are no silly questions, just silly people who don't listen to answers :) | 14:22 |
| jworkman01 | thoreauputic: That's right | 14:22 |
| Bo^Dick | i've got two ntfs partitions, on two physical drives, one has a windows installation and the other only some files. they are labelled /dev/sda1 and /dev/hdb1 | 14:22 |
| instructor | hello everyone, I am teaching a class on irc. Can you say hi!?? | 14:22 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, offcourse it will say that. | 14:22 |
| NailK | Hello. I want to use fglrx internal AGP support. How can I dectivate kernel agpgart support? | 14:22 |
| Slart | OleMoudi: nope.. the alternate install can do lots of things that the regular one can't.. install to raid, install and encrypt etc etc.. I guess they make the live cd as easy as possible for the unwashed masses =) | 14:22 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, well, actually... to be truthful, we do get some genuinely silly questions here as well :) | 14:22 |
| Bo^Dick | why does partimage crash when i attempt to make an image from the /dev/hdb1 only? | 14:23 |
| archman | hello school kickers | 14:23 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: so if that's not what i'm looking for, what am i looking for? | 14:23 |
| * Slart waves to instructor | 14:23 | |
| boris__ | hey | 14:23 |
| jworkman01 | thoreauputic: I'm new to linux and have had my share of confusion over the past few days but still, I have seen some questions that make me ask, WHAT? | 14:23 |
| boris__ | i got a usb, and want to change its FileSystem. how do i do it ? | 14:23 |
| OleMoudi | Slart ok thanks a lot | 14:23 |
| boris__ | change it to NTFS | 14:23 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, example "Help, my Ubuntu doesn't work! Help me? | 14:23 |
| thoreauputic | *grin* | 14:23 |
| Slart | boris__: try partition editor.. it does all kinds of neat stuff | 14:23 |
| Slart | !gparted | boris__ | 14:23 |
| _Oz_ | Good morning, #ubuntu friends. | 14:23 |
| ubotu | boris__: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 14:23 |
| archman | can ext3 partition on which is ubuntu installation be resized? Will resize mess anything? | 14:24 |
| Bo^Dick | has anyone here experience with partimage? | 14:24 |
| thoreauputic | !anyone | 14:24 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 14:24 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, if apt is not installing then reinstalation wont help couse program works, just that your configuration or some system config is not in order | 14:24 |
| archman | i know it haven't messed my ntfs... | 14:24 |
| Slart | jworkman01, thoreauputic: every now and then we get the "my ubuntu doesn't work and it's your fault.. I'll scream at you until you fix it" =) | 14:24 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: how do I put it in order? | 14:25 |
| jworkman01 | thoreauputic: You should have seen me yesterday after upgrading to Hardy, OMG! i had one minor failure and reported the bug, right? anyway the questions that I have seen others ask about the exact same issue are so rediculous. | 14:25 |
| Isoplast | hey guys | 14:25 |
| jworkman01 | Slart: Oh brother! | 14:25 |
| Isoplast | could someone give me some advice please? | 14:25 |
| thoreauputic | Slart, yes - that used to be called "Looking a gift horse in the mouth" I believe :) | 14:25 |
| Isoplast | i have no sound on my computer | 14:25 |
| Slart | archman: I think ext3 can be resized.. but as with all disk operations.. do backups.. I'm not kidding.. do backups | 14:25 |
| Bo^Dick | i'm trying to figure out why partimage crashes when i attempt to make an image of /dev/hdb1 | 14:25 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, by explaning the problem , you have terminal output and logs for that | 14:26 |
| Slart | Isoplast: use sunscreen? =) | 14:26 |
| Bo^Dick | what happens is that partimage stalls at 0% progress | 14:26 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: i'll pastebin. | 14:26 |
| CreativeEmbassy | I did a complete removal of every mysql-server and client package, complete reinstall of everything, and I can't get mysql to start | 14:26 |
| Isoplast | i dont know what sunscreen is, sorry ^^ but im using ubuntu | 14:26 |
| CreativeEmbassy | are there mysql logs here somewhere? | 14:26 |
| Slart | Isoplast: no sound at all? | 14:26 |
| Slart | Isoplast: what kind of computer? | 14:26 |
| jworkman01 | archman: You can definitely do a resize if you need to, but as stated earlier do a backup | 14:26 |
| Isoplast | normal desktop-pc | 14:26 |
| Bo^Dick | partimage would be so incredibly convenient if it worked well | 14:27 |
| archman | ok | 14:27 |
| Slart | Isoplast: run this in a terminal for me.. "sudo cat /proc/asound/cards" | 14:27 |
| Slart | Isoplast: tell me if it prints out anything at all.. | 14:27 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m71d27877 | 14:27 |

| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: it's pretty nondescript for me. | 14:27 |
| thoreauputic | CCyntrox, did you do a chmod +x on the script? | 14:28 |
| Slart | CCyntrox: what is the permissions on the script? did you chmod it? | 14:28 |

| thoreauputic | Isoplast, try xchat if you aren't using it - pretty easy and better than pidgin for IRC, for example | 14:59 |
| avaloncio | i get a menu with the last two options, Help and About, notthing else | 14:59 |

| sipior | Bo^Dick: yep | 15:20 |
| effi | thoreauputic, just because i thought you know a lot about ubuntu ^^ and most of the normal games are not supported | 15:20 |

| soundray | Trashlord: anything you can play with mplayer can be converted with mencoder. Also note the factoid: | 15:22 |

| Slart | fx|RabBit: well.. 4 drives with 500.000.000.000 bytes each (=465 GB) makes for a raid with 1396 GB of space.. which is 1.36 TB | 15:23 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: maybe i should just delete the bz2 file and give it up (don't even know if 0.6.7 will work better than the current one) | 15:23 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, probably comes under "off-topic" :) | 15:24 |

| fx|RabBit | Slart: gosh i miscalculated-.- | 15:25 |
| fx|RabBit | sry to bother*blush* | 15:25 |

| legend2440 | l815: i have used code:blocks for c++ now i use netbeans | 15:25 |

| Bo^Dick | sipior: i was seriously double crossed | 15:25 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: well, they say very clearly that that is a source-code tarball | 15:25 |
| Slart | fx|RabBit: no worries.. I'll just put a small mark here on my paper right next to your name.. your highschool math teacher will be calling you in a couple of days or so ;) | 15:26 |
| fx|RabBit | hahahaha | 15:26 |
| l815 | legend2440 netbeans works on linux? | 15:26 |
| thoreauputic | jworkman01, well you can do a /query thoreauputic if you wish | 15:26 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: try the iso, burn it to a cd, and you should be sorted | 15:26 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: i strongly got the idea that the compile stuff was optional | 15:26 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: most definitely not optional | 15:26 |

| spaghetti_knife | tritium: Sure. No god talk. But why were you the only one to voice offense? | 15:27 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: many thanks for your help, i'll prolly try out some other imaging tool (that doesn't hang during operation) | 15:27 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: And what should I do again with apt? | 15:27 |
| LoLLo | i've deleted the Adobe folder of the desktop and then it doesn't run anymore !!! i just wanna move that folders in a right position and don't have them in thedesktop | 15:27 |

| tritium | spaghetti_knife: no | 15:29 |

| spaghetti_knife | tritium: Okay. I'll take that on faith. | 15:29 |

| Slart | fx|RabBit: does that work on your university profs? =) never did try that | 15:31 |
| bartmon | Slart: Yeah, I'm happy that at least ff works. But Opera's been broken ever since the breakage began. :( | 15:31 |
| Slart | bartmon: it uses the same plugin? | 15:31 |
| bartmon | Slart: Yes. | 15:31 |

| ting | hi everybody, i would like to ask if anyone know how to sort the installed programs in the Synaptic Packages Manager by size ? | 15:39 |
| fx|RabBit | tritium: aye sir... | 15:39 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: does ipv6 have any real uses right now? | 15:39 |
| Slart | fx|RabBit: yea.. because those guys have had such great success in convincing the world so far.. =).. but this is !ot.. and flammable.. let's not go there | 15:39 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: when should I reenable ipv6? | 15:39 |
| Bo^Dick | soundray: am i supposed to find "dd" in the synaptic package manager? | 15:39 |
| spaghetti_knife | when I get a new computer? | 15:39 |
| soundray | Bo^Dick: it's a standard system tool -- you have it already | 15:40 |
| fx|RabBit | Slart: ok i admit i got a provolking style of humor sometimes, PLEASE channel police stay in the stables;) | 15:40 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: do you think ipv6 is the thing that's causing me trouble? | 15:40 |
| ting | or is any kink of way to list all the installed packages sorted by size without using the Sypnatic Packages Manager ? | 15:40 |
| soundray | Bo^Dick: comes with the coreutils package | 15:40 |
| Bo^Dick | soundray: oh, how come other software like ghost and partimage even exist for linux if dd is built in to do the job? | 15:40 |
| Slart | Shinjin: I'm not sure where you find this ---include--- thingy. I have nothing like it anywhere in my editor.. can you make a screenshot and post it somewhere? | 15:40 |
| rowdy | I am running gutsy with compiz on dell dimension 9150 with a ATO Radeon X300 card. My X restarts whenever i try to lock my screen | 15:41 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: because dd likes to write every single bit out to disk, which takes forever on a large disk | 15:41 |
| coldboot | My system is using the wrong sound card. It's using the onboard sound instead of the sound blaster I installed. It used to work, changed for what I believe to be no reason. Any ideas? | 15:41 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, maybe also install netselect | 15:41 |
| soundray | Bo^Dick: because dd is very low-level. Many tools like that have optional and exchangeable front-ends | 15:41 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: if most of that space is empty, you waste a great deal of time | 15:41 |
| rambo3 | !info netselect | spaghetti_knife | 15:41 |
| ubotu | spaghetti_knife: netselect (source: netselect): Choose the fastest server automatically. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.ds1-10 (gutsy), package size 21 kB, installed size 96 kB | 15:41 |
| Slart | coldboot: asoundconf can set default soundcard | 15:41 |
| soulfury | coldboot: easiest way is to disable your onboard card in the bios =) | 15:41 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: oops, that explains everything :( | 15:41 |
| Bo^Dick | wonder if ghostzilla is good | 15:42 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, you should enable it when they change the internet to ipv6. in 5, 10 ,15 year | 15:42 |
| rambo3 | s | 15:42 |
| soulfury | hah yeah | 15:42 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: I see. | 15:42 |
| spaghetti_knife | Thank you. | 15:42 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: i'd try booting from the partimage CD image first | 15:42 |
| coldboot | Slart: Is that setting permament? | 15:42 |
| spaghetti_knife | So this ipv6 was just an attempt for early deployment of ipv6? | 15:43 |
| Slart | coldboot: afaik, yes | 15:43 |
| spaghetti_knife | Or at least to facilitate it? | 15:43 |
| coldboot | Slart: Do you type in the exact same string that appears in asoundconf list? | 15:43 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: what exactly are you trying to get done, if you don't mind my asking? | 15:43 |
| PriceChild | ipv6 being enabled on ubuntu should not cause problems unless you've a dodgy network setup | 15:43 |
| Slart | coldboot: there is a switch to list soundcards you can use | 15:43 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: make an image of my ntfs partition | 15:43 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: well, obviously :) but as a backup? are you cloning another box? | 15:44 |
| coldboot | coldboot: asoundconf list does it, but when I set the default card to "gibberish", it has the same effect as if I set to it "CA0106" | 15:44 |
| coldboot | Slart: asoundconf list does it, but when I set the default card to "gibberish", it has the same effect as if I set to it "CA0106" | 15:44 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: its for backup purpose in this particular case | 15:44 |
| Slart | coldboot: hmm.. and it doesn't affect the soundsystem? sound is still playing through the wrong card? | 15:45 |
| coldboot | Slart: Yeah | 15:45 |
| coldboot | Slart: A stupid program... | 15:45 |
| coldboot | Slart: Doesn't tell you if it did anything. | 15:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bo^Dick, I do like dd for imaging partitions.. increase the buffer size to speed it up. | 15:45 |
| cyme | any1 know how to copy folders to wine folder | 15:45 |
| Slart | coldboot: you could try restarting alsa "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart" | 15:45 |
| bartmon | Does anyone know of a good guide how to fix hibernation in 7.10? I have a laptop with ATI graphics, using fglrx that the Restricted driver manager installs. | 15:45 |
| coldboot | Slart: I only have alsa-utils in there. | 15:46 |
| waylandbill | cyme: usually wine folder is located at ~/.wine. Copy under there. | 15:46 |
| Bo^Dick | Jack_Sparrow: the problem is that i've got a lot of free space on the drive | 15:46 |
| Slart | coldboot: try restarting that then | 15:46 |
| coldboot | Slart: Didn't help | 15:46 |
| cyme | im noob so what is the command for copy | 15:46 |
| bartmon | cyme: Wine stores its files under ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 15:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bo^Dick, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix) | 15:46 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: ah, ntfs? ntfs is only supported experimentally on partimage. try installing ntfsprogs | 15:46 |
| soundray | bartmon: the fix involves using the ati driver instead of fglrx. The latter is notorious for causing suspend/hibernation problems | 15:46 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: there's a lovely little app in there called ntfsclone, which is what you want | 15:47 |
| Slart | coldboot: hmm.. this is odd.. I get the same behaviour here.. let me check the fine manual.. see if it offers any hints | 15:47 |
| noroot | how is ubuntu so great with hardware detection... just plugged in my bluetooth and it works like a charm. cant believe i got stuck with windows xp thinking its better with hardware detection.. | 15:48 |
| waylandbill | cyme: use the file manager to copy the files. You can use the toggle button to get a text-based location bar to manually enter into the .wine folder | 15:48 |
| bartmon | soundray: Hm, but without fglrx I lose powersaving features that fglrx provides. I tried using rovclock to underclock this particular card before but I always get corruption. | 15:48 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: there is one particularly inconsistent thing about partimage, it's that it stalls while attempting to pack one ntfs partition and does not while attempting another | 15:48 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: I've blacklisted ipv6, but if anything, the dl's are running slower than ever. | 15:48 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: hence "experimental" :-) | 15:48 |
| Citizen | lo | 15:48 |
| rambo3 | did you install netselect ? | 15:48 |
| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, did you install netselect ? | 15:49 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: sudo apt-get install netselect? Yes. | 15:49 |
| Bo^Dick | ntfsclone sounds so intresting | 15:49 |
| Citizen | I have downloaded and 'try' to instal uubntu 3 tims. Same problem everytime, then i boot ubuntu i got a error "boot error" | 15:50 |
| soundray | bartmon: there is a relevant bug report, #134819. Also see the ATI release notes: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.25.18.html (substitute your version) | 15:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bo^Dick, See also g4l ghost4linux | 15:50 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Let me see if I can find a link.. bootable cd... | 15:51 |
| Citizen | I get to the ubuntu menu and all | 15:51 |
| Slart | hmm.. why is nautilus using 1.5 GB memory.. seems a bit excessive... bad nautilus.. bad bad nautilus | 15:51 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: see that, you're practically swimming in options! | 15:51 |
| coldboot | Nautilus is still crap. | 15:51 |
| cyme | yeah i can reach the folder but if i put my folder there it doesnt excist in the same way as notepad is "note: i use ubuntu ultimate edition" | 15:51 |
| coldboot | It doesn't even support ctrl+shift+click to make a new sublist of selections that doesn't clobber your existing selection. | 15:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l | 15:51 |

| danbhfive | Citizen: sounds like you havea grub problem, can you use the livecd? | 15:52 |

| rambo3 | spaghetti_knife, wait | 15:52 |
| coldboot | Slart: Seriously, most software is crap, it's very annoying. | 15:52 |
| Slart | coldboot: tried thunar? | 15:52 |
| coldboot | Slart: Nah, maybe I'll have a look given the suggestion from a fellow Nautilus hater. =) | 15:53 |
| rambo3 | don't it lists packages for debian and not ubuntu. so dont | 15:53 |
| waylandbill | Citizen: did you try getting an md5sum of the downloaded iso? There is an md5sum executable available for windows if that's all you have now | 15:53 |

| coldboot | Slart: It has a disjoint set of features that are better than Nautilus, but it's still crap. | 15:53 |
| Slart | Citizen: and seriously.. why ask here? we use ubuntu.. find some windows people to ask windows questions too | 15:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Citizen, nero has a free md5 checker for windows | 15:54 |
| coldboot | Slart: If xffm and Nautilus merged features, and tossed out their crappy parts, they would be really good. | 15:54 |

| Slart | coldboot: or someone could realise that nautilus is one of the apps that most people see as "linux".. it's sad really | 15:55 |
| coldboot | Slart: The thing is, Windows people tend not to know anything, and don't talk in IRC. | 15:55 |
| coldboot | Slart: That's use, it's bad public relations. ;) | 15:55 |
| ting | there is anyonw that could help me ? I am trying to list all the installed packages that i have sorted by size | 15:55 |
| coldboot | Slart: s/use/true | 15:55 |

| Bo^Dick | would apt-get install g4l-v0.23.devel.tar.gz do the job for me? | 15:55 |
| ting | i would like to remove some of them | 15:55 |
| coldboot | I'm going to disable my stupid on-board sound | 15:55 |
| waylandbill | Slart: don't drive someone away for not knowing to md5sum in windows.. nothing positive comes from that. | 15:56 |
| Slart | Citizen: the channel mates here are correct.. sorry for being snappy | 15:56 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: no, i'm afraid not | 15:56 |
| Slart | Citizen: google for md5sum, there are a few small applications out there.. | 15:56 |
| Bo^Dick | coldboot: what soundcard? | 15:56 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: clink'n'go then? | 15:57 |
| soundray | ting: listing by installed size takes some fairly advanced scripting. You could look at the archive sizes: 'cd /var/cache/apt/archives ; ls -srS' | 15:57 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: feels unnecessary to burn it to a cd | 15:57 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: try "tar zxvf <filename>", in the directory in which the file resides | 15:57 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: that only unzips it doesn't it | 15:58 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: yep | 15:58 |
| te | hola | 15:59 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: then i see some files "makecd" and stuff | 15:59 |
| te | can anyone help me view network printers in 7.10? | 15:59 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: there's a g4l iso there as well, perhaps you should download that and burn it to a cd | 15:59 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: what if i just wanna install it on the fly? | 15:59 |
| te | i changed my cups.conf to allow me to "browse" | 15:59 |
| te | but i have no idea what else to change | 15:59 |
| te | any help is greatly appreciated | 15:59 |
| te | im trying to spread ubuntu to the rest of the office | 15:59 |
| te | so you will be doing a great service | 15:59 |
| ting | thanks soundray | 16:00 |
| ting | i am gonna check it | 16:00 |
| waylandbill | te: is it a printer that supports IPP? | 16:00 |
| Konner | hi | 16:00 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: if the disks you want to image are in use, problems may arise | 16:00 |
| DShepherd | anyone know where I can find a helloworld program that I can use to teaching compiling? | 16:00 |
| te | waylandbill: im not sure | 16:00 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: it isn't in use | 16:00 |
| Citizen | I got the correct md5 sum. but how do I know its the correct one for the ubuntu iso | 16:01 |
| te | waylandbill: how would i figure that out? | 16:01 |
| soundray | ting: if you do want to go down the more advanced route, the file /var/lib/dpkg/status holds the raw information you need. | 16:01 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: maybe g4l is a bootup tool only? | 16:01 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: i thought it was a software like partimage | 16:01 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: then you'll have to follow the build instructions, unmount the partitions you want to image, and run g4l on them | 16:01 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: i need to install g4l prior to that i guess | 16:02 |
| waylandbill | te: manufacturer's specs would tell. I assume this is an ethernet printer as opposed to one that is being shared by another computer? | 16:02 |
| LoLLo | how can i remove an icon manually from the application menu ? ( i've uninstalled adobe but i can see the icon !!! ) | 16:02 |
| ting | soundray ummm thanks, do you know where i can put some request for the next version of ubuntu ?? I would like to ask if it is possible to add the size sorting for the next version of Synaptic Packages Manager | 16:02 |
| soundray | !bugs | ting, you can file a wishlist bug | 16:02 |
| ubotu | ting, you can file a wishlist bug: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu - Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu-bots | 16:02 |
| waylandbill | LoLLo: right click the main menu and select edit menus | 16:03 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: honestly, much, much simpler to grab the iso and burn it. Really. | 16:03 |
| Slart | Citizen: the md5 sums for the cd's should be listed somewhere on the ubuntu site | 16:03 |
| Slart | !md5 | 16:03 |
| Citizen | Again, I got the md5 sum frm the ISO file I downloaded, how do I know its the correct one? | 16:03 |
| ubotu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 16:03 |
| ting | thanks very much guys | 16:03 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: allright | 16:03 |
| ting | i will do it for sure | 16:03 |
| Citizen | Thanks | 16:03 |
| mrunagi | i think i accidently removed my installed lang pakages | 16:03 |
| LoLLo | way thanks !!!! | 16:04 |
| mrunagi | how can i find out | 16:04 |
| soundray | ting: still here? | 16:04 |
| spaghetti_knife | rambo3: what are you looking up? | 16:05 |
| ting | soundray: yes | 16:05 |
| soundray | ting: it's dead easy in synaptic | 16:05 |
| te | waylandbill: it's an ethernet printer for sure | 16:05 |
| vee_ | hi all | 16:05 |
| Slart | Citizen: here are the md5sums https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 16:05 |
| LoLLo | !iso | 16:05 |
| te | waylandbill: the cupsd.conf is setup by default to only listen for printers locally i believe | 16:05 |
| ubotu | To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 16:05 |
| ting | soundray: what exactly is dead in synaptic ? sorting by size ? | 16:05 |
| vee_ | Can I send email from a PHP script if I don't have a mail server installed(using 7.10)? | 16:06 |
| drini | I tried to install msttcorefonts, I got lots of errors about some files not being found. Now I can't REMOVE or PURGE the package | 16:06 |
| Frijolie | anyone know how to fix your window decorations? I have no minimize, maximize, or close buttions on any of my windows and they're all stuck in the upper left corner of my screen | 16:06 |
| soundray | ting: in Settings-Preferences-Columns and Fonts, make sure it displays the Installed Size. Then select All in the left part of the window and click on Size in the displayed list. Your window has to be large enough, so you can see the Size column | 16:06 |
| danbhfive | vee_: I dont think so, but someone might know better. I personally had trouble with that | 16:06 |
| drini | since if I run apt-ger remove msttcorefonts, it will still try to DOWNLOAD the fonts | 16:06 |
| thebloggu | i have a computer with no sound here with ubuntu 7.10 | 16:06 |
| drini | any clue how to go about that? | 16:06 |
| waylandbill | te: it most likely supports ipp then. You just need to know the ip address. many models this can be gotten from the menu by using the buttons/control panel on the printer itself. You could also look at your router's dns client table if you have one. | 16:07 |
| hischild | Frijolie, alt f2 --> compiz --replace | 16:07 |
| ting | soundray: really ??? | 16:07 |
| drini | could I get apt to use the fonts from the windows partition? | 16:07 |
| thebloggu | already tries to install latest alsa | 16:07 |
| thebloggu | tried* | 16:07 |
| Frijolie | hischild: i'm not running compiz | 16:07 |
| ting | soundray: ummm i am gonna check it | 16:07 |
| te | waylandbill: thanks for your help | 16:07 |
| soundray | ting: no need for a bug report ;) | 16:07 |
| ting | hehe | 16:07 |
| ting | true | 16:07 |
| Skitt | vee_: you can specify a mailserver in the php.ini. this doesn't need to be a local one | 16:07 |
| hischild | Frijolie, that's the only time i can imagine it being gone ... | 16:07 |
| vee_ | danbhfive hi, yea i cant a script to work on it, that works just fine on my other server - whats a better server to install postfix or exim4? | 16:07 |

| Jerusalem420 | and a couple of weeks my usb just stopped working | 16:08 |
| vee_ | Skitt so just pick the current one given by my ISP | 16:08 |

| effi | could someone explain me how to install freeciv on ubuntu? | 16:08 |
| mrunagi | i think i accidently removed my installed lang pakages is this going to be a problm? | 16:08 |
| Skitt | vee_: if your isp allows that, why not | 16:08 |
| ting | soundray: done!!!! Thanks very much | 16:08 |
| Pici | mrunagi: It may be. Why not just re-install them? | 16:09 |
| Jerusalem420 | how i can 'restart' or 'jump start' the usb system? | 16:09 |
| mrunagi | because the updated lang packs are broken and lock up your pc Pici | 16:09 |
| vee_ | Skitt IM gonna go edit the ini file and try it out | 16:09 |
| Frijolie | YES! the metacity --replace worked! | 16:09 |
| effi | or at least how to install programs on ubuntu? | 16:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Frijolie, There is also a gtk something replace but I could not remember that one.. | 16:10 |

| CorruptTerrorist | danbhfive, yes | 16:41 |

| Bo^Dick | Jack_Sparrow: yeah but for the whole drive i mean (not just mbr) | 16:41 |
| matju | moyogo: AFAIK, Compose key and deadkeys require the same mechanism to be in place, and fail for the same reason. | 16:41 |
| jeantib | Hello. New on Ubuntu. AWN is starting up with my sys. how do I make I cons to start up with it, e.g: firefox? | 16:41 |
| gpellis64_ | CorruptTerrorist: it might want the kernel headders as well | 16:42 |
| Znet | my system hasnt logged any messages in the var log for about 2 weeks now, is there a service and deamon that i need to run | 16:42 |
| Bo^Dick | Jack_Sparrow: i've been told dd doesn't compress empty space | 16:42 |
| moyogo | matju: look in kcontrol, it's there somewhere | 16:42 |
| CorruptTerrorist | gpellis64_, how can i tell? | 16:42 |
| danbhfive | CorruptTerrorist: sorry I don't know about that | 16:42 |
| l815 | anyone know any helpful tutorials for setting up gtk for programming? | 16:42 |
| waylandbill | don't the kernel headers get installed with the source? wouldn't be of much use without them | 16:43 |
| burkARGH | 'route' instantly displays the '192.168.1.0' route but it is delayed for up to 30sec before displaying the default route. This is severely impacting my traffic and I need help getting it to stop freezing. | 16:43 |
| erUSUL | waylandbill: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' | 16:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bo^Dick, I was pointing out some of the possibilities.. I need to run... dd can be piped to gzip per the link I gave earlier for a comp[ressed image, but junk that is not zeroed out will show up as data.. true | 16:43 |
| danbhfive | l815: what gtk programming? what language? | 16:43 |
| l815 | danbhfive, C++ | 16:43 |
| matju | moyogo: thanks. my friend also has that problem with the firefox of 7.10, which i can't reproduce with the firefox of 6.06. Do you know what she should do? i looked in the preferences and didn't see it. | 16:43 |
| Znet | burkARGH: are you sure this si affecting your traffic, what do your logs say | 16:43 |
| CorruptTerrorist | utkan0s, it has 2.6.22-14 but not 2.6.22-15 | 16:43 |
| Znet | BurkARGH: try restaring your network init | 16:44 |
| l815 | danbhfive, is there like a repository that comes with all the needed libraries | 16:44 |
| jeffMASTERflex | l815: try checking out glade interface designer | 16:44 |
| Znet | Does anyone know why my machine maynot be producing logs | 16:44 |
| jeffMASTERflex | l815: all the necessary gtk developemnt libraries are in the repositories | 16:45 |
| danbhfive | l815: well, ubuntu has gtk installed already | 16:45 |
| l815 | danbhfive, oh ok | 16:45 |
| l815 | jeffMASTERflex, alright thanks | 16:45 |
| CorruptTerrorist | how can i enable ssl on apche2? | 16:45 |
| utkan0s | CorruptTerrorist, try it anyway | 16:45 |
| danbhfive | l815: but what jeffMASTERflex said is probably true, you may have to install the -dev libraries to get the c++ bindings/header files | 16:45 |
| Znet | Does anyone know why my machine maynot be producing logs | 16:46 |
| CorruptTerrorist | utkan0s, i have... and that's why i'm getting the nvidia error | 16:46 |
| moyogo | matju: kcontrol: regional & accessibility → keyboard layout → tab: xkb options → enable them → in the options: enable it | 16:46 |
| utkan0s | CorruptTerrorist, you need to find the right sources then, dont know how else to say it | 16:46 |
| l815 | alright, i'll try and figure out which ones i need to get | 16:46 |
| utkan0s | CorruptTerrorist, if you can't find it try and update your kernel | 16:47 |
| CorruptTerrorist | back to my other question... how can i enable ssl on apche2? | 16:47 |

| spersaud | I have been a fan of debian for a long time | 17:02 |
| MasterShrek | !best | spersaud | 17:02 |
| ubotu | spersaud: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 17:02 |
| Znet | trichomekid: i dont know of the top of my head but i imagine google would be your best bet | 17:02 |
| finn_ | the software is definately more up to date | 17:02 |
| KingD | in the source code box was that correct? | 17:02 |
| burkmat | Znet, Hmm... Well, it's gone now and now I have a way of hunting down the issue whenever I see it again. Thanks for the help. :) | 17:02 |
| bazhang | spersaud: this is not really a distro shopping channel | 17:02 |

| josesito | crow, sure, you just have to find how to make keyboard shortcuts in gnome (if you use gnome) | 17:16 |
| crow | I'll search | 17:17 |
| josesito | kk, i'd tell you but i don't or have used gnome xD | 17:17 |
| arrrghhh | so this is driving me nuts. compiz is DISABLED. xubuntu was REMOVED. and yet still, titlebars disappear. "metacity --replace" fixes it, but it's not persistent after reboot. i've tried "metacity --replace &" "sudo metacity --replace", nothing sticks after reboot. | 17:17 |
| waylandbill | D3f0: it's called diskless workstations. there's a distro written to be the server of such an environment, but don't recall the name off hand | 17:17 |
| ganu | how to back up the ubuntu system??and how to go back to restore point?? | 17:17 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: go to sessions and add overthere the command metacity --replace | 17:18 |
| D3f0 | waylandbill, something like LTSP? | 17:18 |
| molkko | anybody knows any inexpensive digital camera that one could control from commandline. I need just one feature which is to be able to shoot a picture from a shell script. | 17:18 |
| josesito | ganu, rsync backup with a daily cron job maybe? | 17:18 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: just curious, why is compiz disabled? driver issues or just a wish? | 17:18 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, that seems like a sloppy fix... what is it using that's causing this? | 17:18 |
| sipior | ganu: there are a lot of options there. what sort of storage needs do you have? | 17:18 |
| waylandbill | D3f0: you beat me to it.. was just going to say to look at ltsp project | 17:18 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, OLD machine. | 17:18 |
| arrrghhh | VIA on-board video | 17:19 |
| arrrghhh | i want it to run fast, i don't need pretty. just functional. | 17:19 |

| AuraithX | ive im on Firefox3 beta3 - how can I open Firefox 2 ? | 17:19 |

| white_eagle | and why is xfce removed? | 17:19 |
| arrrghhh | hrm... ok thanks white_eagle | 17:19 |
| sipior | ganu: easiest is to buy a couple of drives identical to what you have now, and follow josesito's advice and set up an rsync backup | 17:19 |
| white_eagle | AuraithX: just go to applications/internet/mozilla firefox | 17:20 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, xfce was removed because someone here said that was the reason for titlebars disappearing... | 17:20 |

| white_eagle | arrrghhh: the reason for titlebars dissapearing is emerald+compiz | 17:20 |
| white_eagle | not xfce | 17:20 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, that's what i thought... so how can i remove compiz? i really have no use for it. | 17:21 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: just set effects to none, I don't beleive that you can remove it, or try searching synaptic | 17:21 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, tried synaptic, can't remove it. the desktop effects are DISABLED. it's still happening tho. "metacity --replace" fixes it right away. | 17:22 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: I dunno what else, just add overthere to sessions metacity --replace | 17:22 |
| white_eagle | that IS a temporary fix | 17:22 |
| white_eagle | but I don't know anything else | 17:22 |
| white_eagle | that could help ya | 17:22 |
| arrrghhh | i know. i want a permanent fix. i want to know why this is happening and squash it. thanks for tryin tho. | 17:23 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: maybe this is stupid (it is), but if you have free time, try reinstalling ubuntu | 17:23 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, lmao.... uh no. cuz i'll go thru all that and it'll still occur. | 17:24 |
| biabia_ | i cant seem to delete some very big files off my flash drive. can i format it? whats the command | 17:24 |
| ganu | sipior:ya...actually i ll be experimenting with os...hence i needed it...now i m testing with oracle .. | 17:24 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: and what about reinstalling xfce? | 17:24 |
| white_eagle | or using KDE | 17:24 |
| white_eagle | (KDE won't run good on older machines) | 17:24 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, well i would love to use KDE. evidently her machine doesn't like it, because the livecd crashed | 17:24 |

| beautifulsnow | I'm getting this when I try to do anything with wine:::: Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. :-/ Could anyone please give me any pointers, I googled and it seems a few people fixed it but they didn't say how. I've tried removing/purging wine, removing all wine folders, and reinstalling Wine, but nothing works. | 17:25 |
| ganu | josesito:how to that rsync..i m new to this stuff.. | 17:25 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, and xfce was awesome, but the config files kept getting wonky and her menu bars would disappear, plugins would get rearranged or disappear. it was drivin her nuts, and i couldn't figure out a fix, so i figured she could try gnome. | 17:25 |
| josesito | ganu, well it's easy wait and i'll post my settings | 17:25 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: just curious, how OLD is that machine? ;) | 17:26 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, i've never had so much trouble with ubuntu. if this was my first exposure to linux (installed ubuntu on her machine) i'd probably never use it. all my other computers went so smooth. | 17:26 |
| arrrghhh | uhm | 17:26 |
| arrrghhh | 800mhz | 17:26 |
| ganu | sipior:system files...and i hav enough space.. | 17:26 |
| sipior | ganu: if it's only a few gig, pick up a couple usb keys; they're certainly cheap enough these days | 17:27 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, her husband is a cheapo and paid less for the hardware than he did for the license of windows. LOL | 17:27 |
| white_eagle | hhaha arrrghhh | 17:27 |
| waylandbill | I thought most of the cost of the hardware was the window license these days. :-D | 17:27 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh what about trying another distro? | 17:27 |
| white_eagle | arrrghhh: debian maybe | 17:28 |
| arrrghhh | white_eagle, well i love ubuntu. it's very newbie friendly, and she's a n00b. what would you suggest tho? | 17:28 |
| Chousuke | waylandbill: a windows OEM licence is not much | 17:28 |
| arrrghhh | hrm... debian might work. | 17:28 |
| white_eagle | its almost the same as debian | 17:28 |

| waylandbill | Chousuke: no. but is a cost noone wants to pay. | 17:28 |
| sipior | ganu: not sure i follow you | 17:28 |
| josesito | ganu, you want your backup on the same drive right? | 17:29 |

| waylandbill | dury: yes. you can always 'man zip' if you can't recall just before issuing the command. | 17:32 |
| arrrghhh | sheesh. yea, that's just a tiny bit outta my price range, and WAY outta hers lol | 17:32 |

| ganu | Chousuke:actually now i m installing oracle and if something goes wrong i need to get my system back.. | 17:33 |
| waylandbill | arrrghhh: when you tried to remove compiz, did apt-get give an error? | 17:33 |
| Chousuke | ganu: ah | 17:33 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: i'm simply assuming the mbr can be accessed even when the disk is wired as slave | 17:34 |
| ganu | josesito:thank u very much.. i ll see it.. | 17:34 |
| dury | waylandbill: it gives me error | 17:34 |
| arrrghhh | waylandbill, there was no way to remove it. it wasn't in the repository. aptitude wouldn't purge it | 17:34 |
| dury | waylandbill: if I do that way | 17:34 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: sure, makes no difference. just be sure to use preface the command with sudo | 17:34 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: i believe slave/master jumper will only tell mobo which disk holds the mbr to use | 17:34 |
| waylandbill | arrrghhh: you removed the repo that contained it then. You need to put the repo back in, remove it, and then remove the repo | 17:35 |
| Bo^Dick | dd is a very cryptical tool | 17:35 |
| arrrghhh | waylandbill, i didn't remove ANY repo. compiz is so tightly integrated into 7.10, i don't think it's possible to remove it. | 17:35 |
| arrrghhh | which is retarded, because it's causing stupid issues like this. | 17:36 |
| waylandbill | dury: your command is valid as you wrote it. The 'man zip' part I eluded to is another command entirely. | 17:36 |
| Bo^Dick | sipior: many thanks | 17:36 |
| sipior | Bo^Dick: yep, have fun | 17:36 |
| waylandbill | arrrghhh: yeah.. you're right.. it's in the main pool... but apt-get had to have some clue in the output when you wanted to remove it... It's listed as optional, so it can be removed. | 17:38 |
| arrrghhh | waylandbill, if you know how to remove it, i'm all ears. | 17:38 |

| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntu Not a common question.. the /home needs to be at the end of the / root partition ... YOu might use stand alone partition program instead of doing it in the installer version. make one partition at a time.. making swap last and I would suggest 2 gig as you seem to have plenty of space | 17:50 |
| greatauk | NattyTux, you're running "googleearth-bin" right? if you'd run "googleearth" instead, which is a script, then you wouldn't have to use "sh" at the beginning | 17:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | andreus, that last msg was for you | 17:51 |
| NattyTux | greatauk: oh i see... thanks | 17:51 |
| greatauk | NattyTux, but maybe my installation of google earth is different from yours ... usually you can omit the "sh" when running scripts if the first line of the script tells you what program it uses to run | 17:51 |
| andreus | Jack_Sparrow: figured, thanks. trying to do it with ubuntu's built-in partitioner first | 17:52 |

| NattyTux | thanks alot!!!! | 17:55 |
| garyc | I need a little Apache and PHP help, anyone good on those topics | 17:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 17:55 |
| waylandbill | TrustNoOne: gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers it's probably set to 400 for permissions though. You'll need to change that first and then back afterwards or you can always use 'visudo' if you are familiar with vi editing | 17:55 |
| greatauk | garyc, not all bad with apache | 17:55 |
| waylandbill | TrustNoOne: make sure you know what you need to do with the file first. If you goof you could be locked out of sudo... usually need to fix with a livecd if you do that. :) | 17:56 |

| josesito | ganu, reasons for excluding /proc, and other possible dirs to exclude... | 17:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NattyTux, please try not to use the enter key quite as often.. yes, the regular install runs with sh.. so you can make a launcher (icon) so you dont need to start it like that. | 17:58 |
| geggam | NattyTux, on the command line you can type 'file <filename>' and usually you will see an output of what kind of file it is | 17:58 |
| garyc | greatauk; i am not good at this typing. are you there | 17:58 |
| geggam | just for your knowledge | 17:58 |
| greatauk | garyc, yup | 17:58 |
| NattyTux | sorry for the 'enter' thing, and thanks again for the help. | 17:59 |
| greatauk | garyc, an internal server error sounds like a bug in the php code ... been a while since I php-ed | 17:59 |
| josesito | i know if you try to copy proc you may get some errors | 17:59 |
| waylandbill | greatauk: or the webserver doesn't have permission to run the script. | 18:00 |
| ganu | josesito:ya.. even i tried it.. | 18:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NattyTux, np.. it gets easier as you go.. | 18:00 |
| garyc | greatauk: The script runs ok in www but get the error when i run it from within the cgi-bin folder | 18:00 |
| josesito | ganu, anyway, i would suggest to try the command i gave you excluding /proc, and see if you still get errors... i only use rsync to sync my home dirs so i don't know much of the entire filesystem...but there are plenty of resources for backing up and restoring on the internet... =D google: rsync local backup | 18:01 |
| greatauk | garyc, waylandbill's idea isn't bad, you sure the permissions are correct? | 18:01 |

| greatauk | garyc, whoever is running the script should have permission to execute it to begin with :) | 18:05 |

| greatauk | garyc, what's the output of "ls -l script_name" | 18:06 |
| waylandbill | garyc: when I say the user, I mean the user the webserver is executing the script as. that's what you need to know first off. | 18:06 |

| greatauk | I need to make a service run with root privileges but don't know where that is set ... anyone? :) | 18:16 |
| onefunk | hello does anyone know why my sound works only every other reboot? | 18:16 |
| daedra | onefunk: lol really? | 18:17 |
| rrplay | jovitosg: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Subversion | 18:17 |
| onefunk | daedra: yup | 18:17 |
| garyc | waylandbill: how should it be configured | 18:18 |
| onefunk | daedra: it's on sometimes and then off and it's totally random | 18:18 |
| daedra | onefunk: that is weird | 18:18 |
| tushyd | can anyone help? I installed the latest nvidia drivers and now i'm forced to start in "low graphics mode" | 18:18 |
| daedra | onefunk: how is it that you are testing your sound? | 18:18 |
| daedra | onefunk: (to see if it works) | 18:18 |
| === njpatel is now known as njpatel_away | ||
| waylandbill | garyc: to allow executing of scripts. you'll need to look at the apache documentation. | 18:18 |
| garyc | tushyd: define your monitor | 18:19 |
| rrplay | tushyd: which driver version | 18:19 |
| onefunk | daedra: system/preferences/sound | 18:19 |
| Jacobean | does anyone have experience with synching pocketpcs with ubuntu? | 18:19 |
| tushyd | garyc: built in laptop monitor? 1680x1050 | 18:20 |
| garyc | waylandbill: agreed. I did and it appear to be right. I read til my eye's bleed then I try you guys | 18:20 |
| evil_tech | super noob question: can i install grub to a hard drive and have it load a linux live cd? | 18:20 |
| tushyd | rrplay, nvidia driver 169.12 | 18:20 |
| daedra | evil_tech: why load it that way? | 18:21 |
| daedra | you can just boot from disc | 18:21 |
| tushyd | it was working mostly fine but then i read about the driver update and installed it.... which wasn't very successful | 18:21 |
| waylandbill | garyc: you could check the apache logs. Internal errors are normally logged. | 18:21 |
| rrplay | tushy:get the res fiugured ou the nvidia-xconfigg -A and selct your optins | 18:21 |
| moomo1 | when will they fix EDID fail on ddcprobe? | 18:22 |
| burner | hi! i have some problems with resuming from suspended mode (S3).. it won't restore X (with matchbox) properly! if i do ctrl+alt+F2 and then go back to F7, though X appears. But with a weird mouse pointer (black/white square) | 18:22 |
| evil_tech | because ubuntu doesnt like my cd rom | 18:22 |
| rrplay | tushyd: oops nvidia--xconfig -A | 18:22 |
| moomo1 | when will ubuntu get some nice fonts? | 18:23 |
| daedra | evil_tech: how did you install ubuntu in the first place? | 18:23 |
| jovitosg | thanks | 18:23 |
| Arimus | moomo1, there are plenty of nice fonts :) | 18:23 |
| jovitosg | rrplay | 18:23 |
| garyc | waylandbill: yes the errors are logged. this is one [Thu Feb 28 10:51:39 2008] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] Premature end of script headers: cars.php | 18:23 |
| evil_tech | deadra: i havent installed ubuntu on it yet. the installer dies at: Loading additional resources from cdrom | 18:23 |
| Dritzen | moomo1: There are ways to install microsoft fonts :P | 18:23 |
| LjL-Temp | c | 18:23 |
| onefunk | daedra: is there a way for me take a look at my sound card specs, drivers and such? | 18:24 |
| moomo1 | fonts are pretty crappy, especially the character "k" | 18:24 |
| evil_tech | daedra:was going to install grub using knoppix or DSL since those boot fine | 18:24 |
| Dritzen | evil_tech: you could always install Wubi | 18:24 |
| waylandbill | garyc: usually that is because the content-type is undefined. | 18:24 |
| tushyd | rrplay, so I type in nvidia-xconfig -A and then what? i'm confused | 18:24 |
| rrplay | read the options and see if they pertain to you | 18:24 |
| evil_tech | dritzen: i was considering that | 18:24 |
| genius | what is the name of software, that used in installation GUI for disk partitioning? | 18:24 |
| moomo1 | Dritzen: i have installed them, but not sure they get used, also it dont include tahoma | 18:25 |
| garyc | waylandbill: does the <?php do it or is somethime else required?? | 18:25 |
| evil_tech | genius:gparted | 18:25 |
| firelord | I have glibc 2.6 installed on my Ubuntu server, but an app I'm compiling insists on having glibc 2.3. Is there a way to install them both? or is there another solution? | 18:25 |
| evil_tech | ? | 18:25 |
| genius | evil_tech: thank you! | 18:25 |
| evil_tech | genius:no i read what you said wrong | 18:25 |
| evil_tech | its not gparted | 18:25 |
| SpudDogg | Hello all. No matter how many linux distros I try out, I always come back to Ubuntu. Nice to be here :) | 18:25 |
| daedra | onefunk: first run alsamixer in console | 18:25 |
| waylandbill | garyc you could try <?php print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"; ?> and see if it helps. | 18:25 |
| daedra | onefunk: turn everything on | 18:25 |
| tushyd | rrplay, i see something about virtual resolution, is that what I want? | 18:26 |
| xphisherx | hello everyone.. i'm a newbie at linux.. i attended a meeting last night. it was pretty neat. | 18:26 |
| rrplay | tushyd: what res do have know? | 18:26 |
| tushyd | i think VGA and it's painful | 18:26 |
| rrplay | tushyd: i mean pixels try nvidia-xserver ot nvidia-xsettings | 18:27 |
| SpudDogg | Does anyone know how Ubuntu will react if I try to recompile my kernel? There seems to be a lot of modules I do not need, so I'm sure there's plenty of things built in I don't need. | 18:27 |
| tushyd | VGA is 640x480 | 18:28 |
| rrplay | tushyd: dpkg-reconfigure-xserver | 18:28 |
| daedra | SpudDogg: why don't you do a linux from scratch on it | 18:28 |
| garyc | waylandbill: will do. stand by one moment | 18:28 |
| rrplay | tushyd: nvidia-settings | 18:28 |
| waylandbill | SpudDogg: should play nicely with it, but could be replaced by updating packages. | 18:29 |
| SpudDogg | daedra, I did LFS on this machine once, but I found it to not be very productive. I spent WAY to much time tinkering | 18:29 |
| tushyd | rrplay, nvidia-settings is giving me an error: you do not appear to be running the Nvidia X driver | 18:30 |
| tushyd | rrplay, but if I do nvidia-xconfig and then restart X, it boots into low-res mode | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SpudDogg, You wont gain much by doing so and could cause yourself some headaches.. BUt for educational purposes.. then sure.. | 18:30 |
| Lectus | Hello! I installed emerald, how can I apply the theme? | 18:30 |
| fabio_ | hi | 18:31 |
| rrplay | tushyd: do you get an nvidia logo on boot? | 18:31 |
| beautifulsnow | I'm sorry to ask again, but I've been googling this almost non stop since yesterday, and still haven't found a solution. I add c drive through winecfg because it says there isnt any, and when I click apply/ok I get: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible. with a bunch of erros like that... anyone have any hints on what I might to to fix it?\ | 18:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lectus, system pref emerald theme manager | 18:31 |
| fabio_ | cd .wine | 18:32 |
| SpudDogg | Jack_Sparrow: I'm not too interested in recompiling the kernel for educational purposes, but LFS and distros like gentoo do have a nice edge when it comes to "bloatware" being installed. I'm just looking for max performance from this computer | 18:32 |
| tushyd | um, i don't think so... the screen blanks like 3-4 times and then low-res mode comes up | 18:32 |
| fabio_ | then go to drive_c | 18:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | beautifulsnow, /j #Winehq for a start | 18:32 |
| einalex | If you'd like Nautilus to know about tabs, vote at the Ubuntu Brainstorm -> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/90/ | 18:32 |
| rrplay | tushyd: did you reconfigure your x server dpkg-reconfigure-xserver ? | 18:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SpudDogg, Like I said, I dont think you will gain much. BEtter off adding a bit of ram than recompiling the kernel | 18:33 |
| fabio_ | it't wrong to have tags on nautilus | 18:33 |
| einalex | tabs | 18:33 |
| fabio_ | it's also against the gnome look&feel | 18:33 |
| onefunk | daedra: cool i turned everything on in alsamixer. there is the <intel ICHS> and my <Audigy 2 ZS> everything is on for both of them. what should i do next to get my sound going? | 18:33 |
| fabio_ | tabs yes | 18:33 |
| beautifulsnow | Jack_Sparrow I am there but no one has been able to help so I figured I'd ask the Ubuntanians | 18:33 |
| fabio_ | like those on firefos i suppose | 18:34 |
| daedra | onefunk: try playing something now | 18:34 |
| SpudDogg | Jack_Sparrow: Yea, I'm not going to play with it today, but maybe eventually. By the way, do you know how Ubuntu handles flash plugins for 64-bit? nswrapper? | 18:34 |
| einalex | If gnome thinks tabs should be done at wm level. they should actually do it there | 18:34 |
| einalex | metacity doesn't | 18:34 |
| Lectus | Jack_Sparrow: Already did it. But can't change. Should I restart Xorg? | 18:34 |
| fabio_ | Nautilus is faster than konqueror just ecause of that | 18:34 |
| einalex | the effect is: my desktop is cluttered with nautlius windows. That's against gnome look&feel as well. | 18:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SpudDogg, Yes, and I agree that is not a good solution | 18:34 |
| fabio_ | Start adding things to it and you will end up with something bloated like kde | 18:35 |
| waylandbill | SpudDogg: I agree with Jack_Sparrow. The gain in performance doesn't outweigh the time and effort for the compiling the source for simply the performance boost. | 18:35 |
| fabio_ | nautilus has to be VERY fast | 18:35 |
| SharkBoy | Hi there - I'm a long term Linux user, returning after a break of a couple of years and I'd like to try Ubuntu - I understand the installation routine is different to what I'm used to (Anaconda). Is there a way to burn a boot CD image, and then continue the install pulling it off the net? | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fabio_, thunar is faster.. as file manager.. | 18:35 |
| fabio_ | thunar sucks | 18:35 |
| einalex | i was told that | 18:35 |
| bazhang | SharkBoy: try the minimal cd | 18:35 |
| einalex | as well | 18:35 |
| fabio_ | as well as the whole xfce | 18:35 |
| gidna | why can't I listen to two different programs at the same time? | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !install | 18:35 |

| tushyd | rrplay, i just did the reconfiguring, should I restart X? | 18:36 |
| einalex | fabio_: why does it suck? | 18:36 |
| fabio_ | sorry for the developer | 18:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sound | gidna, | 18:36 |

| gidna | nut I can't do what I said.. | 18:36 |
| bazhang | SharkBoy: you can choose ;] | 18:36 |
| \lart | greetings all.. So, I need to create a new subnet behind a router that has an interface in the same subnet as my server (runs gutsy), which serves up dhcp. On the router, for the new segment, I've configured a dhcp relay agent, providing the ip addr of the existing dhcp server. is it simply sufficient to create a new subnet section in the dhcpd.conf file for the corresponding range of the new network? | 18:37 |
| tushyd | rrplay, i'll restart X and then come back | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gidna, You cant listen to two things at once correct? | 18:37 |
| einalex | people buy lightning fast pc's today. The screens don't grow as fast as the cpu speed. I think place on my desktop is more important than a 0.5s faster startup time | 18:37 |
| gidna | correct.. | 18:37 |
| rrplay | tushyd : set you screen size 1st ! | 18:37 |
| SharkBoy | bazhang thanks :) And lastly.... will the minimal CD force me to select every package by hand, or will I still be able to ask it to give me a default Ubuntu Gnome installation? | 18:37 |
| waylandbill | SharkBoy: the livecd comes with a full system and is most likely the best solution though. | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gidna, then read the link.. | 18:37 |
| fabio_ | Dont use the initrd file | 18:37 |
| bazhang | SharkBoy: you can choose that with ubuntu-desktop ;] | 18:37 |
| fabio_ | i just discovered it was useless on my pc | 18:38 |
| garyc | waylandbill: error is the same. the line you gave me just prints Content-Type: text/html\n\n to the screen if I run the script in www folder where it works | 18:38 |
| daedra | i moved to debian after ubuntu started integrating compiz | 18:38 |
| SharkBoy | waylandbill Thanks! I want to play with bleeding edge gnome though, so I think a minimal cd may be a better option for me | 18:38 |
| gidna | what link? | 18:38 |
| SharkBoy | bazhang thanks again! | 18:38 |

| onefunk | daedra: so my cd player is going and still no sound... hmmm | 18:39 |
| fabio_ | BitStormLite should be part of gnome | 18:39 |
| waylandbill | garyc: the error was still likely from failing to execute. php is probably outputting the necessary content-type. | 18:40 |

| CorruptTerrorist | Squawk, it's the first, yes. what do i do? | 19:43 |
| HaguMe | perhaps it's a thing of the flash plugin I guess... | 19:43 |
| bod_ | beautifulsnow, its title is 'Run Apllication' but i dont know what the command is to bring it up from terminal,.,.why do you want to know? | 19:43 |
| Squawk | CorruptTerrorist, you need to point it to the initrd file (probably something like /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic). But into one of your working kernels and see where it is | 19:44 |
| bod_ | HaguMe, i doubt the language file would crash opera,. why not reinstall opera and have the default file? | 19:44 |
| CorruptTerrorist | ummm... /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=7982c660-3bf9-44d3-82a8-d3969e473642 ro quiet splash | 19:44 |
| beautifulsnow | bod_ I have Keyboard Shortcuts and ccsm->Actions configured to show that dialog, but when I do the key combo, the Run dialog does not come up ;P | 19:44 |
| earthling | mad_max02: what is your mask at the fstab file for the mount? | 19:44 |
| bod_ | beautifulsnow, whats wrong with alt+F2? | 19:44 |
| HaguMe | yes, I'll try that thing | 19:44 |
| zossso | loller: hmm. I don't think alternative cd will run as a live cd. Might ask in this channel to see if anyone knows | 19:44 |
| Estesark | I have a question which is only partly Ubuntu-related, but perhaps one of you has the technical knowledge to help me. I am trying to forward a specific port on my ADSL router/modem. However, despite having followed a tutorial at porforward.com, my BitTorrent client still thinks that it is closed. I've just installed Ubuntu and have mostly default settings, any advice? | 19:44 |
| reikalusikka | I try to mount my external HD but I get this error message hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000, It works fine in gnome | 19:45 |
| HaguMe | thanks bod_ and Sqawk | 19:45 |
| bod_ | np ;~) | 19:45 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, I set it to default | 19:45 |
| yaro | zossso loller: The alternate CD is purely for installing based off an nCurses installer. | 19:45 |
| sethk | Estesark, try using telnet to connect to the port from the outside of the router. syntax is telnet ip port | 19:45 |
| hischild | bod_, i tried windows ... it blew it all to smithereens :( | 19:45 |
| Squawk | Estesark, try iptables -nL, and see if your have a firewall in ubuntu. (all will be Open if not). If not, then the problem is still router related | 19:45 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: That seems to be a bug in kde/kubuntu. The work arond is just to mount it from the command line | 19:45 |
| zossso | yaro: thx | 19:46 |
| bod_ | hischild, ??????? | 19:46 |
| recon | I just deleted some stuff on my /home partition by accident. Is there any way to recover it? | 19:46 |
| hischild | bod_, you remember me right? ... | 19:46 |
| earthling | there will be in the line mask=XXX set it to mask=007 | 19:46 |
| beautifulsnow | bod_ Alt+F2 didn't work, the same way that Super+R doesn't work, I actually want Alt or Super + Esc to bring up the Run dialog, but Alt+F2 is too big a stretch for my small hands ;p | 19:46 |
| bod_ | recon, .Trash folder /home/recon/.Trash | 19:46 |
| Estesark | Squawk: What am I looking for in the iptables -nL output exactly? | 19:46 |
| robdeman | everybody that helped me setting up my ldap server: thanks a lot! | 19:46 |
| recon | bod_: command line rm -rf. :-( | 19:46 |
| Squawk | recon, depends how you dleted it. Maybe your stuff went to /tmp, or to trash. If you used rm on command line, probably not | 19:46 |
| Kate_mins | hello, how can i change by chown the files owner & group ? | 19:46 |
| zossso | loller: you can still resize the partitions with the alt cd if I recall | 19:46 |
| Xacarith | I'll try back later I suppose. Later all, and to all those who help, keep up the good work! | 19:46 |
| robdeman | it works now | 19:46 |
| jagggy | any java channels? | 19:46 |
| recon | Squawk: it didn't. | 19:46 |
| Squawk | Estesark, pm me the output if you want and il let you know what you have | 19:46 |
| earthling | mad_max02: there will be in the line mask=XXX set it to mask=007 or someting similar | 19:46 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: how should I mount it and send it to automount? I'm a novice in these things :D | 19:46 |
| loller | zossso: alright, thx | 19:47 |
| bod_ | recon, hahaha,.,.what did you do that for? | 19:47 |
| bod_ | hischild, yes i do ;~) | 19:47 |
| zossso | loller: sure | 19:47 |
| Squawk | recon, there are utilities out there to recover delted files, but I dont know what they are, google on it ;( | 19:47 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: You can't automount. You will have to manually mount. Is that ok? | 19:47 |
| recon | bod_: not my main thing, of course. i did rm -rf ufoai*, but then i realized i should have put a .deb on the end. | 19:47 |
| reikalusikka | well I think I'll manage | 19:47 |
| hischild | bod_, good i was gettin scared :p well i wanted to dual boot my normal machine .. yet windows seems to hate me .... and now i hate windows more because it screwed up all my partitions ... | 19:47 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: byw how? | 19:47 |
| reikalusikka | but* | 19:47 |
| bod_ | recon, ouch,.,. | 19:47 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, I edited that entry myself and that line looks like this /dev/sdb1 /home/user/Data ext3 defaults | 19:47 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: ok. do: "sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt" ... | 19:48 |
| hischild | bod_, thus, as a result, i'm now goin to install 7,10 and remove windows completely :-) inc for games | 19:48 |
| zossso | kate_mins: `chown <user>:<group> <file> | 19:48 |
| yaro | hischild: When dual booting any Linux with Windows, it usually works better to install Windows *first* and then Linux. | 19:48 |
| bod_ | hischild, yer,. winbugs does that.,.,.rule of thumb is,. install winbugs first then install *nix | 19:48 |
| recon | bod_: it took forever to package, too. | 19:48 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: Where sdb1 is your device and /mnt is the mount point. | 19:48 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: ok, thanks | 19:48 |
| hischild | yaro, i know ... i had supergrub ready for the boot stuff | 19:48 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: It is NTFS, right? | 19:48 |
| * bod_ feels sorry for recon | 19:48 | |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: yes | 19:48 |
| zossso | kate_mins: you want to change the user and group right? | 19:48 |
| earthling | mad_max02: is it a usb portable drive? | 19:48 |
| hischild | yaro, but it just plainly overwrote all my partitions :S:( | 19:49 |
| * _newbie4 laughs.. winbugs | 19:49 | |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: so should I type media/myHD | 19:49 |
| yaro | hischild: Yikes. | 19:49 |
| recon | bod_: i umounted it as soon as i deleted it, so i have a good chance of recovering it. | 19:49 |
| prashant | hiiiiiiiiiiiii | 19:49 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: does /media/myHD exist? | 19:49 |
| prashant | hiya | 19:49 |
| bod_ | recon, i hope so,.,.;~) | 19:49 |
| prasanna | anyone here have a music player that lets you browse through using album covers? | 19:49 |
| reikalusikka | it's the place where my hd is | 19:49 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: it's the place where my hd is | 19:49 |
| _newbie4 | recon: if ou ran rm -rf, i highly doubt you have any chance of recovering it, but ghood luck | 19:49 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, no its sata hdd. | 19:49 |
| hischild | yaro, i had to disable acpi by some undocumented hack ... which got reactivated every update ... or sth like that ... anyway i had enough of it now and i'm all linux <3 | 19:49 |
| earthling | prasanna: amarok is the best player ther is | 19:50 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, I just did chown on that Data dir and I got me full permisions | 19:50 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: I mean I don't need to type that dev1? | 19:50 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, what do I have to do to make it permanent ? | 19:50 |
| prasanna | it doesn't let me browse using album art though | 19:50 |
| yaro | hischild: Okay. That's good. What is your problem again? | 19:50 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: The mount point must exist before you can mount anything there. e.g. "sudo mkdir /media/myHD" | 19:50 |
| earthling | mad_max02: but on next boot the story will be the same!! | 19:50 |
| prashant | pidgin not work | 19:50 |
| hischild | yaro, atm nothing ... bod_ helped me out a lot yesterday so i thought it was nothing more then fair to keep him up to date on the progress ... | 19:50 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: ok | 19:51 |
| prashant | connection to the server failed | 19:51 |
| Squawk | Hey chaps, doesnt a default ubuntu install come with all iptables chains set to "ACCEPT", with no rules? | 19:51 |
| bod_ | hischild, ;~) | 19:51 |
| david__ | is it neccesary to put preload in sessions in order for it to work? | 19:51 |
| yaro | prashant: Check your server settings. | 19:51 |
| Odd-rationale | reikalusikka: Yes. you need to tell what device you want to mount and where you want to mount it. | 19:51 |
| earthling | madany other partitions you have on the drive that are not giving problems? | 19:51 |
| prashant | it shows connection is timed out | 19:51 |
| bod_ | hischild, perhaps you would consider giving a helper a snack (!helpersnack) | 19:51 |

| * bod_ is hungry | 19:51 | |
| soneil | Squawk: I didn't think ubuntu came with any default rules? It concentrates more on having no listening services out of the box instead | 19:52 |

| ubotu | Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 19:52 |
| Squawk | soneil, thats what I thought, but I just got a pm from a user who was having trouble with getting something to work, and he has a huge iptables config from a clean install (he says) | 19:52 |

| mad_max02 | earthling, I just typed it to you :D /dev/sdb1 /home/user/Data ext3 defaults | 19:53 |
| soneil | Squawk: I'd be tempted to see if their "clean" install has firestarter or similar. There shouldn't be any defaults, because they'd be incredibly opaque and hard to change for most users | 19:53 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, that the whole line in fstab | 19:53 |

| prasanna | having trouble gettinv coverflow working on songbird | 19:54 |
| reikalusikka | Odd-rationale: I get "mount: special device media/elements does not exist" | 19:54 |
| Squawk | soneil, fair point, certainly im reluctant to get him to change any firewall settings | 19:54 |

| prashant | ya | 19:55 |
| Squawk | And amenado, I got him to paste me it, he has a very restrictive firewall | 19:55 |
| hischild | reikalusikka, make you it starts with a /, so you get /media/elements | 19:55 |
| stormze1 | Is there a FAQ for upgrading thunderbird to find that it didn't keep any of your data? | 19:55 |
| Pici | !away > bluefoxx | 19:55 |
| prashant | i have already done dis | 19:55 |
| yaro | prashant: And you have the right user name and domain? | 19:55 |
| mad_max02 | earthling, you sure that umask is correct for ext3 filesystem ? | 19:55 |
| reikalusikka | hischild: Tried that too, hmm I think it works now | 19:55 |
| prashant | but it shows connection is timed out | 19:55 |
| hischild | reikalusikka, :-) good | 19:55 |
| prashant | ya | 19:55 |
| amenado | Squawk-> he must have installed script that installed the rules | 19:55 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: That worked to open a terminal window. | 19:55 |
| prasanna | coverflow, songbird has a similar feature that of itunes, which allow you to browse through using album art. i have songbird installed but no album art :S even with the applets installed | 19:55 |
| clic1 | QUESTION: how to change size of Terminal, without changing the font? I want it to be able to fit more and have the text stay the same (forever, profile...) | 19:56 |
| yaro | prashant: Try pinging talk.google.com from the terminal. | 19:56 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: Try ALT+F2, type 'gnome-terminal' | 19:56 |
| earthling | mad_max02: yes . umask is usermask . got nothing to do with file system!! | 19:56 |
| mohbana | any idea when the icedte plugin is going to be fixed? my azureues refused to start because of it and the mozilla plugin doesn't work either i believe | 19:56 |
| Squawk | amenado, yeah sounds about right, im guessing as soneil said its probably something like firestarter rather than a script | 19:56 |
| mohbana | i don't plan on installing the sun's java | 19:57 |
| === mooboo is now known as mooboos | ||
| mooboos | can anyone fix this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/194214 | 19:57 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: gnome-terminal did nothing noticable. | 19:57 |
| earthling | mad_max02: this how it should look like. "/media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,gid=46 0 1" similar.. | 19:57 |
| soneil | Squawk: firestarter is a script. it just has a nice gui front-end to it too. just makes it easier to load iptables rules without realising that's how it's working | 19:58 |
| earthling | mad_max02: and use tab for different fields | 19:58 |
| prodigel | Hi. I'm trying to set up a wireless network in ubuntu, nm-applet doesn't seem to repond and iwlist returns no scan result. Can anyone guide me with this? | 19:58 |

| brad01 | what does: Note that you can't use what will be the root partition for the CD contents, as the installer is stubborn on formatting it (it will fail). mean? | 20:03 |
| plen0x_ | prasanna: so install java :/ | 20:03 |
| ks3 | alanbshepard70, if it's standard xterm, you copy by selecting, and paste by right-clicking (or maybe middle-clicking... don't recall) | 20:03 |

| Cpudan80 | fglrx doesnt support the 7500 | 20:05 |
| prodigel | amenado: a moment ... | 20:05 |
| Cpudan80 | Or at least, it never comes up in the restricted drivers thing | 20:05 |
| yaro | prashant: When you CTRL + C, does it say anything like: 100% packet loss? | 20:05 |

| brad01 | Hey Guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu from these https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux directions | 20:05 |
| prashant | ya | 20:05 |
| Cpudan80 | With Nvidia this would be easy..... but ATI.... | 20:05 |
| yaro | prashant: Okay, we're close to solving your problem. We're probably going to have to change your DNS server to a much better one. | 20:05 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: dunno. but you can maybe create a text file from the output? 'gnome-terminal >> debug.txt' | 20:05 |
| brad01 | I need some help | 20:06 |
| rrva | Cpudan80: Catalyst linux drivers (fglrx) has aticonfig command | 20:06 |
| prodigel | amenado: http://pastebin.com/m5c92c4e8 | 20:06 |
| prashant | what is the server | 20:06 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: I had that same thought, all it does is create an empty file and print the error to the screen | 20:06 |
| Cpudan80 | rrva: How can I add the proprietary driver? | 20:06 |
| yaro | prashant: System -> Administration -> Network | 20:06 |
| Cpudan80 | rrva: It doesnt show up in restricted drivers | 20:06 |
| prodigel | amenado: http://pastebin.com/m2d784431 | 20:06 |
| prashant | then | 20:07 |
| rrva | Cpudan80: it's not supported. use the 'radeon' driver | 20:07 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: try 'gnome-terminal &> debug.txt' | 20:07 |
| clic1 | QUESTION: how to change size of Terminal, without changing the font? I want it to be able to fit more and have the text stay the same (forever, profile...) | 20:07 |
| amenado | prodigel-> there is your clue ESSID:"" | 20:07 |
| prashant | yaro r u getting me | 20:07 |
| Cpudan80 | rrva: Ok..... how does one do that? | 20:07 |
| yaro | prashant: Click the DNS tab. | 20:08 |
| prashant | then | 20:08 |
| clic1 | QUESTION: how to manage running tasks? (also how to restart firefox, so that it asks me to restore tabs) | 20:08 |
| credible | Cpudan80: that's what you're using, "ati" is just a wrapper for "radeon" | 20:08 |
| rrva | Cpudan80: you probably run it already. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Additional_options_for_the_radeon_driver | 20:08 |
| prodigel | amenado: ok .... what should I get from that clue? | 20:08 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: Ok that worked, thanks. | 20:08 |
| amenado | prodigel-> not to give out the answer directly, what do you think "" mean to you ? | 20:09 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: sure.. I forgot that STDERR will default output to screen | 20:09 |
| konner | ahh ok | 20:09 |
| konner | =] | 20:09 |
| yaro | prashant: Delete that current entry and add a new one with the IP of: 4.2.2.1 (I think.) | 20:09 |
| prodigel | amenado: That i'm not connected to any network? | 20:09 |
| JordanC | Yo folks, anyone here remember the song "Run to You" ? | 20:09 |
| amenado | prodigel-> okay, good answer | 20:09 |
| konner | Im on Ubuntu Linux 7.10 Gusty Gibbon and im wondering if theres a way to turn on automatic login for this user im on | 20:09 |
| rrva | Cpudan80: look for mergedfb | 20:09 |
| yaro | JordanC: This is the wrong channel for that. | 20:09 |
| Pici | !ot | JordanC | 20:09 |
| ubotu | JordanC: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 20:09 |
| JordanC | :O | 20:09 |
| JordanC | Ah! | 20:09 |
| prodigel | amenado: ok .. what next? | 20:10 |
| JordanC | I forgot I typed that into the wrong channel | 20:10 |
| JordanC | Sorry about that | 20:10 |
| amenado | prodigel so the objective is to associate to an AP | 20:10 |
| prodigel | amenado: as far as I know iwlist should display all detected networks | 20:10 |
| prodigel | amenado: and mine says no results | 20:10 |
| amenado | prodigel-> detected does not equate to associated | 20:10 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: ok this is the error I get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/57736/ | 20:10 |
| madsporkmurderer | I am trying to set up a 4 monitor system (using two nvidia geforce 8400gs) and have nearly got it working using the nvidia-settings command. However one of the monitors it refuses to put to a higher resolution than 640x480 | 20:11 |
| amenado | prodigel i said earlier, your driver may have gone funky on you, reload your driver or reboot if you must | 20:11 |
| konner | Is there a automatic login on UbuntuZ? | 20:11 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: are you running xinerama or multiple screens? | 20:11 |
| Cpudan80 | rrva: I'll poke around with the files | 20:11 |
| bod_ | alanbshepard70, run the command again like this command --sync | 20:11 |
| caleb_yau | how do i use the virtual terminal? I press f1-f6 i type in my login and password, then i get a ubuntu warranty message and nothing happens | 20:11 |
| Cpudan80 | rrva: thank you | 20:11 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: Multiple screens yes | 20:11 |
| prodigel | amenado: I would very much do that if I knew how. I told you I remember nm-applet working and even showing me detected networks. | 20:11 |
| prashant | now it shows error resolving talk.google.com name or server not known | 20:11 |

| amenado | prodigel is this a laptop? | 20:12 |
| prodigel | amenado: I'm referring to the driver. How can I 'reload it' ? | 20:12 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: Got the same error when using gnome-terminal --sync | 20:12 |
| beautifulsnow | lol ;p | 20:12 |

| CorruptTerrorist | hey all. i've fixed the kernel problem but now there is another... after installing the nvidia drivers, ubuntu loads in low grpahics mode | 20:12 |
| caleb_yau | Odd-rationale It prompts me for name and password and then it stops doing anything after it displays some text | 20:13 |
| amenado | prodigel which chip do you have on your wireless nic? if it was bcm43xx am not touching it.. | 20:13 |
| Odd-rationale | caleb_yau: like [caleb@ubuntu]$_ | 20:13 |
| rrva | Cpudan80: no, don't think so. It's just a lot of xf86-config tuning, and restarting X a dozen times | 20:13 |
| caleb_yau | Odd-rationale nope | 20:13 |
| s0u][ight | hi guys | 20:13 |
| s0u][ight | got my webcam working :D | 20:13 |
| prodigel | amenado: donno, where should I look? grep dmesg for what? | 20:13 |
| Odd-rationale | caleb_yau: Something similar? | 20:13 |
| amenado | CorruptTerrorist-> is that the default selection? look in your xorg.conf | 20:14 |
| caleb_yau | Odd-rationale no after the text is displayed i cant type anything | 20:14 |
| earthling | yaro: just curious .. how do you know prashants DNS? | 20:14 |
| Cpudan80 | rrva: got it | 20:14 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: Thanks I'm reading up on the bug report you sent the link for. | 20:14 |
| amenado | prodigel-> yes, dmesg; or lspci, lshw, or udevinfo | 20:14 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: sure. let me know if it works for you | 20:14 |
| Odd-rationale | caleb_yau: have you tried logging out and logging back in? | 20:14 |
| yaro | earthling: Say what? | 20:14 |
| prodigel | amenado: what whould I search for? | 20:14 |
| konner | nvm i figured out automatic login myself. | 20:14 |
| amenado | prodigel-> what did i ask you for? | 20:14 |
| yaro | earthling: That's actually the DNS address I am using. | 20:15 |
| caleb_yau | Odd-rationale of X Windows? I can try, this seems to be a recurring problem however | 20:15 |
| prodigel | amenado: no bcm there | 20:15 |
| earthling | yaro: both of you are on the sam LAN? | 20:15 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: the end of this post (Composite) may be the fix -- http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354767#c5 | 20:15 |

| keito | I need to burn a .bin/cue file to dvd-r. I have gnomebaker but this seems to be of no use. I believe cdrecord is the way to go but the command I'm using cdrecord -dao cuefile=test.cue doesn't work any ideas? | 20:16 |
| amenado | prodigel am just trying to avoid bcm43xx chip, its well known hard to work with chip..thats all | 20:16 |
| lunks | How can I search for wireless networks actively? | 20:16 |
| yaro | earthling: I am giving Prashant an address to the DNS server I use, which can resolve talk.google.com correctly. | 20:16 |
| keito | dao seems to be where its going wrong | 20:16 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: I hope this isn't asking to much but maybe you can help with another issue I have. To use my dell computer with a PCI video card I have to follow the steps listed in my bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/191225 is there anyway to fix this issue while install ubuntu with the alt install CD? Even just getting it to boot and installing the nvidia drivers later would be a great help. | 20:16 |
| keito | error: cdrecord: No tracks specified. Need at least one. | 20:17 |
| rrva | Cpudan80: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174 | 20:17 |
| prashant | yaro again it shows the same error | 20:17 |
| prodigel | amenado: none taken, just I'm not into modules and stuff. Usually I limit myself to some vim/ssh and other simple stuff. I don't have much knowledge about drivers. | 20:17 |
| lunks | How can I search for wireless networks actively? | 20:17 |
| ScorpKing | does anyone here know how can i change the usplash theme for the ltsp image so thin-clients have a custom usplash theme? i've tried a few things but i'm only able to change the server's theme. any ideas? | 20:17 |
| amenado | keito it has to be stored as .bin/.cue? can you not make an .iso of a whole dir and burn the .iso once you make it? | 20:17 |
| earthling | yaro: is it working for him? ask him? | 20:17 |
| yaro | prashant: Hmmm... | 20:17 |
| CorruptTerrorist | amenado, what didi you say before i left? | 20:17 |
| ScorpKing | it's on edubuntu btw ^ | 20:17 |
| earthling | yaro: i dont think it will work that way? | 20:17 |
| prashant | now it shows error resolving talk.google.com name or server not known | 20:17 |
| amenado | CorruptTerrorist-> is that the default selection? look in your xorg.conf | 20:17 |
| yaro | prashant: Try a web pash, I might have screwed you up. | 20:17 |
| keito | amenado: i got the file as a bin. | 20:17 |
| danand | lunks - in a terminal type iwlist <iface_name> scanning i think | 20:18 |
| CorruptTerrorist | amenado, is what the default selection? | 20:18 |
| keito | amenado: i think you can convert the bin to iso though perhaps? | 20:18 |
| amenado | keito so? | 20:18 |
| prashant | i dont understand what r u telling | 20:18 |
| earthling | yaro: DNS is through which your internet will work.. his DNS will be different | 20:18 |
| amenado | CorruptTerrorist-> your resolutions, depth. | 20:18 |
| amenado | keito it has to be stored as .bin/.cue? can you not make an .iso of a whole dir and burn the .iso once you make it? | 20:18 |
| CorruptTerrorist | amenado, i can't change them | 20:18 |
| keito | amenado: I just wanna get this image onto a disc asap ;) | 20:18 |
| prodigel | amenado: here is some from lshw. Is it useful? http://pastebin.com/m3209b16d | 20:19 |
| yaro | earthling: I know, but tehre are some servers that are puclicly accessed. I have done this before with wget problems. | 20:19 |
| amenado | CorruptTerrorist-> you have to sudo to modify xorg.conf | 20:19 |
| CorruptTerrorist | how? | 20:19 |
| prashant | yaro r u getting me | 20:19 |
| keito | amenado: I have no dir to make an iso. I already have the bin file nothing more | 20:19 |
| yaro | prashant: I suggest maybe clearing out that addy I gave you and putting your OLD DNS in there. | 20:19 |
| amenado | prodigel, can you do some legwork, i cant browse for everything..look for someting related to wireless | 20:19 |
| zossso | alanbshepard70: installing from the alt CD would be a good idea. I had problems with my SATA drive not recognized. An Alt CD install worked fine... Give me one minute to look at the website | 20:19 |
| ph8 | hey guys! I've got a corrupted pen drive! Does anyone know if i can still get the data off it? I can't mount it / run fsck although it is recognised as a device (sdc) | 20:19 |
| lunks | How can I search for wireless networks actively? | 20:19 |
| earthling | yaro: k. | 20:19 |
| keito | amenado: making an iso of the folder that contains the bin file wouldn';t work i'm guessing? | 20:19 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: Ok great thanks | 20:20 |
| earthling | prashant: hindi? | 20:20 |
| amenado | keito you can create a dir? and put all your files there then make an iso of off the dir | 20:20 |
| prashant | ya | 20:20 |
| prashant | bolo | 20:20 |
| prodigel | amenado: thanks anyways | 20:20 |
| yaro | prashant: I don't know what else I can do to help you. Perhaps someone else on this channel can. | 20:20 |
| amenado | keito, i am telling you it works, you can make an iso of a folder | 20:20 |
| earthling | prashant: tera net kaam kar raha hai.. browser! | 20:21 |

| ph8 | Slart: Well, there's no sdc1 so i can't mount it? There are some read errors in dmesg | 20:22 |
| keito | amenado: i don't have the original files that were used to create the bin image. so I can't just *create* an iso of those original files... | 20:22 |
| Slart | ubunt1: you don't need drivers for a display.. it doesn't work? | 20:22 |
| ph8 | i've tried fsck.vfat /dev/sdc | 20:22 |
| ph8 | and that errors | 20:22 |
| amenado | keito i did not say the dvd-r will be playable, all i said was you can create an iso off of a directory, besides you were not clear of your goal so i gave you advise on assumptions | 20:23 |

| ph8 | any ideas at all? | 20:23 |
| ubunt1 | Nop... Just a blurr or completely black... | 20:23 |
| Slart | ph8: have you tried running testdisk on it? | 20:23 |
| keito | amenado: I think you need to go back and read the original post --> I need to burn a .bin/cue file to dvd-r. I have gnomebaker but this seems to be of no use. I believe cdrecord is the way to go but the command I'm using cdrecord -dao cuefile=test.cue doesn't work any ideas? PRETTY CLEAR?!! | 20:23 |
| amenado | keito, btw what is in this .bin and .cue a windows game? | 20:24 |
| alanbshepard70 | sjs: Probably VMware | 20:24 |
| danand | keito - take a look at this link for .bin .cue files - http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/#toc15 | 20:24 |

| Slart | ubunt1: a blur?? I couldn't make my computer create a blur if I wanted to.. you mean you see something on the screen.. but it's blurred? | 20:24 |
| yaro | prashant: I am sorry I could not help you. D: | 20:24 |
| prashant | then | 20:24 |
| alanbshepard70 | sjs: Checkout the synaptic package manager and install VMWare server for free if you'd like to do it as well. | 20:24 |
| keito | amenado: no. it is not a windows game. it's a video file (.avi) | 20:24 |

| sjs | alanbshepard70: i check everything that pops up from the synaptic package manager when i search for vmware? | 20:27 |
| hischild | danand, yeah bchunk works perfectly for that | 20:27 |
| alanbshepard70 | zossso: If it's possible to do during install I don't know how. | 20:27 |
| prashant | earthling r u there | 20:27 |

| zossso | alanbshepard70: Sorry, I mean disabling it in the BIOS? | 20:28 |

| respawn | i cannot start now windows xp :( | 20:28 |

| Squawk | respawn, I would make 2 different entries for windows in menu.lst. One where you have "Title=windows, root (hd2,0), makeactive, chainloader +1", that needs to go on four lines, and will give you an option to load the first of your windows installs. you need to do pretty much the same for your second windows install (call it windows2), but have root (hd1,0) instead. ANd that should work | 21:16 |

| l815 | is there a command to install gtk developer files through terminal? | 21:36 |
| earthling | _0z_:Its entry is not there in fstab, and as it is NTFS it may give problems if you add its entry in fstab.. | 21:36 |
| danand | claudio76 - no worries - not going anywhere! | 21:36 |
| daef | bunts: i could walk into the next room and use my pc - which wouldn't let me watch tv besides... or i could ssh onto it or my router via putty... but sometimes text isn't the one and only truth ;) | 21:36 |

| Cpudan80 | Hello all | 21:38 |
| _Oz_ | I can just log in to the darn thing once per session | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | I'm trying to setup my displays so that the external display can be a higher resolution than the laptop's internal LCD display | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | I've got it basically setup - except that when I boot up, the resolution that gnome takes up is equal to the resolution of the laptop panel (1024x768) vs the resolution of the external screen (1280x1024) | 21:39 |
| sacredg | wow that was easy | 21:39 |
| Cpudan80 | Basically, it shoves the gnome panels/desktop in the upper left corner - and doesn't stretch across the remaining screen space | 21:39 |
| Cpudan80 | Anyone have any solutions? | 21:39 |
| ftr | ...surely not everyone here on ubuntu is using something other than wpa-psk? | 21:40 |

| LoLLo | guys how can i zoom the cube ? i've tried to activate zoom desktop and press win+3 but it doesn't work !! | 21:40 |
| bergquist | Cpudan80: you should try the fglrxdriver... | 21:40 |
| _Oz_ | earthling: don't go to any more trouble over this | 21:41 |

| _Oz_ | danbhfive: thanks, it's just a problem I have with accessing an NTFS HD in ubuntu | 21:42 |
| daef | LoLLo: that was the prob on my cube... but a bit playin' with xmodmap did the trick... try to remap the shortcut to a key which is known to be 'problemless' *g* | 21:42 |
| danbhfive | _Oz_: rather, are you having trouble with permissions and automounting via fstab? | 21:42 |
| _Oz_ | danbhfive: basically whenever I launch amarok I can't play any mp3s because the mp3s are on an NTFS drive that require I log in to it using my admin password | 21:43 |
| _Oz_ | once I do that, amarok can access the files | 21:43 |

| Cpudan80 | daef: brb - restart x | 21:46 |
| ftr | well its running in the top bar thing, and the netwrk i want is in the list | 21:46 |
| danbhfive | _Oz_: your ntfs drive is not listed at all in fstab | 21:47 |
| _Oz_ | danbhfive: that is what earthling said. | 21:47 |
| _Oz_ | Problem? | 21:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr: That's good. What happens when you click on it and ask to connect. Does a box pop up asking for a password? | 21:47 |
| ftr | ArthurArchnix: but the problem is, the only 2 security options it gives me is wpa personal and leap | 21:47 |
| danbhfive | _Oz_: well, it won't get mounted at bootup | 21:47 |
| _Oz_ | I see | 21:47 |
| _Oz_ | so when I try to log in to it for the first time, that mounts it | 21:47 |
| daef | LoLLo: dunno... maybe you shall see if it is answered in http://www.beryl-project.org/faq.php | 21:47 |
| claudio75 | danand: can you read me in pvt? | 21:47 |
| _Oz_ | the drive is in /media so ubuntu probably thinks it's removeable | 21:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr: Well, that may just be what it says. Have you tried typing your password in anyway? I use WPA-2 and don't have problems. | 21:48 |
| Cpudan80 | daef: Same result | 21:48 |
| danand | claudio75 - errr no! | 21:48 |
| bunts | daef: probably u know where I can configure my laptop touchpad sensitivity? | 21:48 |
| ftr | ArthurArchnix: yeah, and sits for ages trying to connect before giving up | 21:48 |
| daef | Cpudan80: shame... | 21:48 |
| danand | claudio75 - have you registered with freenode yet? | 21:48 |
| claudio75 | danand: uhmmm ok...anyway...dmesg's output is not completely visible | 21:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr: The first time you connect it does take a while. But when it gives up it usually just asks you for the password again, because it assumes you typed it in wrong. Is that what happens? | 21:49 |
| danbhfive | _Oz_: yeah, if you mount it like that, you could try adding umask=007 as one of the options somewhere. Under the right click menu, but I'm not sure. | 21:49 |
| claudio75 | danand: yes but sometimes it works and sometimes not...anyway | 21:49 |
| claudio75 | danand: tell me what i have to paste in pastebin | 21:49 |
| ftr | ArthurArchnix: sometimes. other times it just goes back to the unconnected icon | 21:49 |
| danand | claudio75 - errr... ok ... what happens when you type dmesg | 21:49 |
| * _Oz_ gulps | 21:49 | |
| _Oz_ | danbhfive: I'm not permitted to modify permissions, settings etc for that drive in the right-click menu | 21:49 |
| Cpudan80 | daef: Kinda weird --- the desktop looks ok (ie. it takes up the full 1280x1024) --- just the gnome panels and such are stuck in the other mode | 21:50 |
| claudio75 | danand: the output is too long to be read | 21:50 |

| daef | cc77: what processor? | 21:51 |
| _Oz_ | I'll do that, danbhfive | 21:51 |
| _Oz_ | CorruptTerrorist: me too | 21:51 |
| brad01 | 32 bit unless you have especial needs | 21:51 |

| danand | claudio75 - ok type dmesg > dmesg.txt That will put all that output in the file dmesg.txt. Then type gedit dmesg.txt select all and copy then goto the pastebin web site and paste that stuff . then come back and tell me the link | 21:52 |

| _Oz_ | cc77: I don't see any need to use vista... I use Ubuntu and vbox to run Windows XP | 21:53 |

| bunts | macogw: thx | 21:56 |

| _Oz_ | CorruptTerrorist: you have to enable it first | 21:56 |
| ftr | okie doke, gimme a minute this lappy is slow as all hell lol | 21:56 |
| _Oz_ | CorruptTerrorist: also, go to general options and make sure you have 4 sides to the cube, otherwise it's just a flat 2-sided pane | 21:56 |
| CorruptTerrorist | _Oz_, i have | 21:57 |
| macogw | bunts: yet. i guess i could submit a patch for that... | 21:57 |
| daef | macogw: then - who does?? | 21:57 |
| bunts | macogw: gonna search for. thx | 21:57 |
| macogw | daef: you have to do it in xorg.conf or use synclient in the commad line | 21:57 |
| _Oz_ | CorruptTerrorist: then click your scroll wheel button down anywhere on the background of the desktop and drag left or right | 21:57 |
| pecisk_ | wow, poor ubuntu brainstorm servers, took a beating from slashdot crowd | 21:57 |
| daef | macogw: sounds familiar... i think i already used synclient a long time ago... | 21:57 |
| CorruptTerrorist | aww thats cool | 21:57 |
| earthling | _0z_: which option in the configure window set the cube on? | 21:58 |
| daef | macogw: with a crappy hp notebook... | 21:58 |
| macogw | daef: the GUIs do scrolling, tapping, on/off...and i added acceleration, min speed, and max speed to gsynaptics in october or something, but it hasnt been packaged | 21:58 |
| brad01 | What do I need to do a Unetbootin install? | 21:58 |
| macogw | daef: its in the SVN | 21:58 |
| _Oz_ | earthling: System->Preferences->Advanced Desktop Effects Settings | 21:58 |
| daef | macogw: okay | 21:58 |
| ftr | ArthurArchnix: theres 2 wireless devices on this laptop. one's the built in dell one wihch never works on any os and oens the asus usb. i cant tell which is which in that menu | 21:58 |
| ftr | one is wlan0 one is eth0 | 21:59 |
| earthling | _0z_: after that what option? | 21:59 |
| CorruptTerrorist | what does paint fire on the screen do? | 21:59 |
| _Oz_ | earthling: for the cube? just scroll down until you see "3D cube" | 21:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr: Trial and error won't hurt. | 21:59 |
| _Oz_ | corrupt: paints fire on the screen. | 21:59 |
| ftr | ok, ill go with wlan0 for now | 21:59 |
| _Oz_ | CorruptTerrorist: try shift-f9 by the way | 21:59 |
| daef | _Oz_: lol | 21:59 |
| earthling | _0z_: k, thks | 21:59 |
| macogw | hahah | 21:59 |
| ftr | enable roaming mode is ticked | 21:59 |
| CorruptTerrorist | omg cool | 21:59 |
| macogw | ftr: eth0 is probably your wired connection | 21:59 |
| TrustNoOne | is ubuntu or debian better overall? | 21:59 |

| madsporkmurderer | I am having codec problems with my new 64bit box- apparently the xine extra plugins wont install on 64bit systems | 22:00 |
| macogw | TrustNoOne: is it a server or a desktop? | 22:00 |
| ftr | eth1 is my wired, according to this | 22:00 |
| LoLLo | uhm ... if i put an img on the top of the cube it's not a problem for my desktop's icons right ? | 22:00 |
| macogw | ftr: oh you didnt say that was there | 22:00 |
| CorruptTerrorist | daef, when does that appear? | 22:00 |
| daef | CorruptTerrorist: thats the firepaint | 22:00 |
| neel | anyone can help one minute for an english sentence? | 22:00 |
| TrustNoOne | macogw, desktop, connected to shared drives for media playback | 22:00 |
| ftr | my bad lol | 22:00 |
| macogw | LoLLo: no itll show when you drag the cube around with the mouse | 22:00 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr: Direct your comments by typing a name. This is a busy channel and they get lost easy. | 22:00 |
| CorruptTerrorist | daef, how do you use it? | 22:00 |
| daef | CorruptTerrorist: you can paint fire with your mouse | 22:00 |
| TrustNoOne | macogw, sorry, its a laptop | 22:00 |
| LoLLo | macogw so i can put an image with np ? | 22:01 |
| CorruptTerrorist | daef, how? | 22:01 |
| macogw | TrustNoOne: ubuntu's probably easier to get going for that. debian is great on servers because its so stable, but it doesnt do so well with very new laptop hardware | 22:01 |
| ftr | ArthurArchnix: sorry | 22:01 |
| muunleit | why not? | 22:01 |
| macogw | LoLLo: yep | 22:01 |
| daef | CorruptTerrorist: press the shortcut and paint (press mousebutton while shortcut) | 22:01 |
| [T]an1 | ubuntu detects my cdrom but none of the other applications installed can find it... k3b cannot find it, virtualbox cannot find it. in k3b i tired pointing the device to /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom and /media/cdrw. k3b says that it cannot find those devices. | 22:01 |
| _Oz_ | the paint fire feature is almost definitely the most unnecessary feature | 22:01 |

| ftr | *wpa2 | 22:01 |
| macogw | ftr: what are you trying to do? | 22:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr: That's probably what you're router is setup for. | 22:02 |
| macogw | ftr: you should be able to stay in roaming mode and just use network manager...it handles wpa just fine | 22:02 |
| ftr | macogw: trying to connect to a wpa-psk secured wireless network. | 22:02 |

| iKap | macogw, im trying to get wifi working | 22:04 |

| daef | kk | 22:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | macogw: I was using gsynaptics with synclient, but then I thought, isn't this really only useful for changing parameters on the fly? Wouldn't it be better to put your touchpad config into xorg and not run synclient and gsynaptic, if you don't need to change touchpad parameters on the fly. Or am I wrong about what gsynaptics is doing? | 22:04 |
| sarah | Hello. I'm trying to run firefox through an SSH tunnel by using the -D option to specify a local port for tunnelling. However, on the remote side I keep getting the following error: channel 6: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out. The channel number changes. Does anyone know a reason for this? | 22:04 |
| ftr | ArthurArchnix: setting both wireless devices that way didnt help | 22:05 |
| Solmaze | If my java installation went apeshit, and I want to "re-do" it. But it seems that the virtual machine is already partially installed - how would I go about clearing out the faulty installation and re-installing? | 22:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | macogw: So now I just edit my xorg.. badly, because the synaptics documentation that comes with ubuntu isn't that helpful. | 22:05 |
| rpj8 | Hey guys. Bit of a bash question. With ls, is there any way to list the size of the folder given all of the files in that folder? right now for ever directory it says '64k'. | 22:05 |
| TrustNoOne | ArthurArchnix, what are you trying to edit with your xorg | 22:05 |
| CorruptTerrorist | /etc/gconf/schemas/compiz.schemas: No such file or directory | 22:05 |
| daef | sarah: where do you want firefox to run?? local or on the remote machine?? maybe you should try the -x option | 22:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr... ok, leave it like that for now, we need to go into the terminal and try and configure this thing manually. | 22:06 |
| sarah | daef: I want it to run locally, but tunnelling data through the SSH connection. | 22:06 |

| RoAkSoAx | rpj8: there is another command to obtain the size of files, you wont be able to obtain it with ls, i believe tha command is 'du' | 22:06 |
| daef | rpj8: du -sh | 22:06 |

| daef | sarah: okay | 22:06 |
| daef | sarah: so you have to have a proxy running there - dont you?? | 22:07 |
| ArthurArchnix | TrustNoOne: Nothing in particular. I used to use gsynaptics to control my touchpad via synclient, but now I'm just trying to pass the parameters myself through xorg.conf. I'm particularly confused about "coreevent" or some such option, but it's not a priority. | 22:07 |

| rene | macogw, why i can't ? | 22:13 |

| Onyx | I've got a second hard drive, and I'd like for anyone in the "users" group to be able to read and write to that drive without issue. Is there an option I'm missing in my fstab configuration so far? The options I've got so far are "user,auto,rw,sync" | 22:14 |
| daef | sarah: firefox when trying to connect - or sshd - or somebody else? | 22:14 |
| rene | kostkon, ussue in update-system in feisty ? | 22:14 |
| _damir | Shyde : do you know how to fix it | 22:14 |
| macogw | rene: no skipping releases. configurations change between and get all botched up if you try to skip. your configurations are kept from the old version of the programs and one version off has a better shot of making sense of them and making adjustments than skipping versions of software does | 22:14 |
| drarem | looks like I need libghc6-opegl-dev | 22:14 |
| sarah | daef: ssh, on the remote side, in my terminal. | 22:14 |
| Shyde | _damir: boot into recovery mode, where you will be root, and run "usermod -a -G admin,etc youraccount" | 22:14 |
| daef | okay... | 22:14 |
| sarah | Very weird stuff. | 22:14 |

| Smegzor | ok. i suspect though that what I need is for virtualbox to handle this 'feature'. | 22:15 |
| sarah | daef: Checking that. | 22:15 |
| macogw | Smegzor: then hide it off to the side. the windows will stay out of its way, i think. there'll just be a little handle in the corner for bringing the panel back | 22:15 |
| Smegzor | i'll try it | 22:16 |
| === bpfigueiredo is now known as brenof | ||

| Smegzor | didn't work :( | 22:16 |
| earthling | Onyx: yes | 22:16 |
| rene | macogw, non change sources. from "feisty" by "hardy" and update-manager -d ? | 22:16 |
| claudio75 | danand: yes...i'm here...i was cheking that page | 22:16 |
| Smegzor | I'll post a feature request to the VirtualBox people | 22:16 |
| macogw | rene: update-manager -d changes teh sources for you. but you cant skip versions when upgrading...at least not safely. it might work. it might hose your system. | 22:17 |
| Onyx | earthling: Refuses to mount with that option | 22:17 |
| claudio75 | danand: maybe i had to write ACPI ...and not acpi ?!?!? | 22:17 |
| earthling | Onyx: remove the earlier options and instead add. "Defaults,umask=000" | 22:17 |

| rene | macogw, ok then, i wont upgrade for gusty and hardy :-) | 22:17 |
| rene | macogw, thx for support | 22:18 |
| rene | :D | 22:18 |
| macogw | rene: you can go from feisty to gutsy | 22:18 |
| daef | sarah: /etc/ssh/sshd_config - watch out for "AllowTcpForwarding no" | 22:18 |
| macogw | rene: and then go from there up | 22:18 |
| earthling | Onyx: it works for me, i have umask=007 never gave a problem | 22:18 |
| macogw | rene: but if youre not cool with things breaking at random, you probably shouldnt use hardy anyway | 22:18 |
| claudio75 | danand: did you read what i wrote??? | 22:18 |
| rene | last gusty to hardy ;-) ? | 22:18 |
| daef | sarah: that should do the trick ;) | 22:18 |
| danand | claudio75 - no - think we done that ok... can you run the command lsmod | grep apm for me on that machine and see if you get any output | 22:18 |
| cdm10 | rene: hardy is very incomplete and broken. I wouldn't use it. | 22:19 |
| claudio75 | danand: ok | 22:19 |
| rene | i kwon | 22:19 |
| rene | :D | 22:19 |
| Onyx | earthling: Is "umask" an NTFS thing? | 22:19 |
| sarah | daef: It's set to yes already. Very curious. =/ | 22:19 |
| earthling | Onyx: No, | 22:19 |
| daef | sarah: restarted your sshd? | 22:19 |
| morenita | ola | 22:19 |
| earthling | Onyx: umask is user mask.. | 22:20 |
| claudio75 | danand: the command lsmod | grep apm doesn't write anything....no output | 22:20 |
| rene | ola | 22:20 |
| daef | sarah: and hope that it comes up again ;-) | 22:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | ftr https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAsus Supposedly works in gutsy. Easiest solution would be if you switched from wpa-psk to wpa2 or something in router. Possible? Anyway, drive you need is RT2500, so you do "lsmod | grep rt2500" to confirm it's loaded. RT may need to be capitalized, I'm not sure. lsmod without the extra stuff will just show everything and you can scroll throu | 22:20 |
| sarah | daef: I did - was a scary moment. *grins* | 22:20 |

| flowOver | anything i can do about it? | 22:43 |
| swirv | flowOver make sure you have the latest version ov VirtualBox. | 22:44 |

| danand | claudio76 - can you see if you have the directory /proc/acpi on your machine - just type ls /proc/acpi - should give you a list of things like button ac_adapter etc | 22:44 |

If I use the other user that shall be "restricted" to be in any other folder then /var/ftp it dont work, I still can make directories/remove etc with the other user. | 22:50 |
| danand | claudio76 - ok :) _NEW_ then. | 22:51 |
| claudio76 | danand: yes... | 22:51 |
| kenro | Slart, Right. Anyway, the Mac prog is more a game. How about a cad prog with some sort of full motion engine? I have a design for a combo fishing rod, walking staff and bow I'd like to simulate. | 22:51 |
| claudio76 | danand: what should i do? we just tried that acpi=force ...any other idea??? | 22:52 |
| judgen | i want an recomendation for an app that i can use for TV recording from a tv card. | 22:52 |
| RoC_MasterMind | I upgraded 7.04 to 7.10 but now I don't have "VPN Connections" under network manager. eth0 has a static IP (and must stay that way), and so I had to add eth1 (2nd nic) under 7.04 for VPN connections to have a nic to use I guess...but now in the same setup with eth1 enabled and DHCP it doesn't show up at all under network manager. | 22:52 |
| RoC_MasterMind | I have network-manager-pptp install, how can I make VPN connections show up? | 22:52 |
| claudio76 | danand: it's late here and i've not slept all the night.....are you near to any idea? | 22:52 |
| Slart | kenro: 3d cad software is rare.. free ones even more so.. you might want to look at blender | 22:52 |
| flowOver | swirv - and everytime i boot after it get's stuck (thats what vbox says happened. the os is stuck) then it runs at a snails pace on reboot | 22:52 |
| brilliantnut | Slart: I have iproute installed, but apparently no routed is contained in there.. :( | 22:52 |
| danand | claudio76 - i am looking at the posts on the net... they suggest turning acpi off and using apm instead. acpi and apm are two methods for handling power management. acpi is newer than apm... I'm reluctant to try it .... your machine _should_ use acpi | 22:53 |
| Slart | brilliantnut: what do you want to do? setup routing? | 22:53 |
| brilliantnut | Slart: yes, specifically, failover routing. | 22:53 |
| swirv | flowOver is this a fresh install of XP or has it been copied from a real install or VMWare vm? | 22:53 |
| claudio76 | danand: ok | 22:53 |
| claudio76 | danand: so? | 22:53 |
| flowOver | fresh | 22:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: claudio76 what problem are you two working on? | 22:53 |
| Slart | brilliantnut: there is always the "route" command | 22:53 |
| flowOver | sp2 updated | 22:53 |
| patrock | anyway to see what was updated in reverse chronological order? | 22:53 |
| kenro | Slart, Blender does only 2d anim. primarily for game design. | 22:54 |
| flowOver | kenro: bwah? | 22:54 |
| flowOver | blender is 3d | 22:54 |
| Slart | kenro: blender is 3d.. but I agree about the game design thingy.. | 22:54 |
| claudio76 | ArthurArchnix: my problem is that i'm unable to switch my pc off... | 22:54 |
| cafuego | it doesn't want to die, how cute | 22:55 |
| Slart | kenro: but as I said.. that's the closest thing I know of | 22:55 |
| swirv | flowOver try mounting the XP cd and boot your xp vm with the CD, then try to do a repair from the CD. It sounds like XP is broken. | 22:55 |
| claudio76 | ArthurArchnix: usplash appears....the orange bar gows down to zero and it stops there | 22:55 |
| danand | claudio76 - shutdown hanging on dell inspiron 531 - see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=d283d759844f1ff649791431cf51814d&t=701294 ... we've tried acpi=force with no luck | 22:55 |
| brilliantnut | Slart: over 3 dsl connections... I want the intranet to be always connected over any of the available dsl connections.. I have a linux box as the router... so I want dynamic routing, so that it should be able to figure out and update the routing tables automatically if any of the DSLs go down... | 22:55 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - ^^ | 22:55 |
| ArthurArchnix | claudio76: Sounds like gdm isn't passing the right halt command. | 22:55 |
| danand | cafuego - :) | 22:55 |
| swirv | BTW I fixed my deskbar issue by unstalling it and reinstalling the package. | 22:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | claudio76: danand I just saw an option for that today... where did I see that... goes off to look around | 22:56 |
| Slart | brilliantnut: sounds like a must-have application.. there has to be a replacement for routed if it isn't there.. | 22:56 |
| jolenzy | hey! I have just one small question, so if someone can answer me, it wold be nice | 22:56 |

| syntaxerror55 | !ask | jolenzy | 22:56 |
| ubotu | jolenzy: 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. :-) | 22:56 |
| jolenzy | can I install superkaramba on ubuntu? will it work? | 22:56 |
| brilliantnut | Slart: that's what I'm looking for... pimd came close, but the comment says its retired... | 22:56 |
| Slart | brilliantnut: this is for debian.. but you might get some hints.. http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/377 | 22:56 |

| syntaxerror55 | jolenzy: Yes, it will | 22:56 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - I thought that - we tried halting with sudo shutdown -h ... that failed too .... tried powerdown -f too ... that froze the system | 22:56 |

| claudio76 | ArthurArchnix: ah...the line "starting up..." that appears after grub stays on my screen for about 30 seconds when i switch on my pc...then usplash appears and gdm starts......but the greatest problem is that i'm unable to switch it off | 22:57 |
| Slart | brilliantnut: it seems shorewall has some support for these things too | 22:57 |
| Slart | !info shorewall | 22:57 |

| jolenzy | ok, tnx. have a nice evening | 22:58 |
| syntaxerror55 | jolenzy: you can install it in synaptic or by typing 'sudo apt-get install superkaramba' | 22:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: switching to runlevel 0? | 22:58 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - good idea - lets give that a go | 22:58 |
| jolenzy | ok, understood :) | 22:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: Something like, sudo init 0? I'm not exactly sure. Never used it. :) | 22:58 |
| flowOver | kenro: you don't know how to use blender than. i've seen plenty of 3d blender games | 22:58 |
| Nihilist_Nerd | lart: Cheers | 22:58 |
| kenro | flowOver: do I have that part right? ;) | 22:59 |
| Nihilist_Nerd | Slart: Cheers | 22:59 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - sudo runlevel 0 i think, wait one | 22:59 |
| Slart | Nihilist_Nerd: you're welcome | 22:59 |
| kenro | flowOver: Guess not :( | 22:59 |
| cafuego | ArthurArchnix: that wiuld do exactly the same as 'shutdown -h now'; switch to runlevel 0 and run the shutdown scripts. | 22:59 |
| Slart | Nihilist_Nerd: but I haven't seen the question yet =) | 22:59 |
| flowOver | blender is the open source match to maya or 3dsmax | 22:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | This is what's in my gdm command: "/sbin/shutdown -h now "Shut Down via gdm."" | 22:59 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - sudo runlevel --set=0 should work i think | 23:00 |
| Sonja | thanks sl | 23:00 |
| danand | claudio76 - you following this | 23:00 |
| Sonja | Slart | 23:00 |
| claudio76 | danand: tell me what to do | 23:00 |
| claudio76 | danand: you're the brain...i'm the hand | 23:00 |
| Slart | kenro: regardless of wether blender is 3d or 2d.. it still isn't CAD... far from it.. perhaps you can run some other CAD software in wine.. | 23:00 |
| danand | claudio76 - are you still using your ubuntu box for irc? | 23:00 |
| claudio76 | danand: yes...but let's try | 23:01 |
| claudio76 | danand: so have i got to type sudo runlevel --set=0? | 23:01 |
| kenro | flowOver: Know where I can find a copy of The Blender Book? Or maybe something more modern? | 23:01 |
| danand | claudio76 - yes :) fast as always :) | 23:01 |

| claudio76 | danand: i still have not tried telinit | 23:10 |

| claudio76 | ArthurArchnix: ok done....now? | 23:11 |
| combat | boolka: its a long term release, so there are not many new features, maybe you find some infos on http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/01/05/new-features-for-hardy-heron | 23:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | claudio76: danand wait.. that's a bad idea. We should see if it works first before messing with /etc/modules | 23:11 |

| danand | ArthurArchnix - dont think claudio76 's machine can use apm - its only two weeks old - should use acpi only | 23:15 |
| blice | Hi guys... I'm trying to set up camba and krb and winbinds and all of that so I can join this windows domain. I'm having issues, though. At the very end of the tutorial I do 'net ads join -U administrator', and it gives me "Host is not configured as a member server. Invalid configuration. Exiting....; Failed to join domain: Invalid domain role" | 23:15 |
| Slart | nosto: ok.. open the volume manager | 23:15 |
| nosto | got u | 23:15 |
| blice | samba* | 23:15 |
| Slart | nosto: select the recording page | 23:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | I can't find any explanation for this except the bios is expecting an apm comment. | 23:16 |
| Slart | what kind of stuff do you have there? microphone? what else? | 23:16 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - dell are known to write some dodgy bios stuff - might be an idea .... shall we try the runlevel thing first though? | 23:16 |
| Darkmystere | err yet again....my top panel with the main menu and stuff never moves...:lol if i play a fullscreen game...it stays at the top doesnt even flinch...if i play a fullscreen movie stays....if i zoom out to see cube its the only thing going across the top of cube... (disabled nautilus from drawing desktop) if i use xwinwrapper it stays right ontop of the coolness...if i set it to auto-hide half... | 23:16 |
| Darkmystere | ...of it stays there... | 23:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: Yes.... I thought he had. | 23:16 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - if that works ok ... we'll use that | 23:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: Or a hammer. | 23:17 |
| danand | claudio76 - have you removed that apm .... line from /etc/modules ? | 23:17 |
| claudio76 | ArthurArchnix: yes...on my head | 23:17 |
| claudio76 | danand: si | 23:17 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - hard power off - rip out the power lead :) | 23:17 |
| claudio76 | danand: ...ehmmm.....yes | 23:17 |
| levander | Darkmystere: you've tried logging in and out which restarts the X server? | 23:17 |
| claudio76 | :p | 23:17 |
| MrKeuner | hi, I could not figure out how to increase the verbosity/debig level of acpid, could someone give me a hand, please? | 23:18 |
| danand | claudio76 - ok try typing sudo telinit 0 - that should shutoff your machine | 23:18 |
| Darkmystere | levander: Ive always had this problem on all ubuntu installs...its not a just now thing always happning.. | 23:18 |
| levander | Darkmystere: weird, when i run Windows under virtual box, or mythfrontend, my top panel gets covered up | 23:19 |
| levander | MrKeuner: 'man acpid' says there's a --debug command line option | 23:19 |
| Darkmystere | Levander, thats the only time it moves... | 23:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | hey.... danand looks like it might have worked. | 23:19 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - looks like that did something .... claudio76 is gone... | 23:19 |
| MrKeuner | levander: yes, but I could not find the ubuntu way of doing it | 23:19 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - quick ... lets hide :) | 23:20 |
| MrKeuner | levander: do I change /etc/init.d/acpid? | 23:20 |
| levander | MrKeuner: what's unubuntu about using command line options? | 23:20 |
| cjones | can you sitch user in to root | 23:20 |
| daef | process finished "wash -ing|grep dirt" | 23:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: If it doesn't work, then we sudo lshw for the bios version, and check dells site to see if an update is available? | 23:20 |
| levander | MrKeuner: I'm looking at that script. Hold on. | 23:20 |
| nicolah | is there a way to boot ubuntu from usb ? (to install it) | 23:21 |
| MrKeuner | levander: actually I added -d to OPTIONS but that does not seem to change anything | 23:21 |
| flowOver | where can i find easy to install login screens? | 23:21 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - yeah ... might be worth a go ... bios update on my dell latitude worked out a few faults (suspend etc) for me | 23:21 |
| MrKeuner | OPTIONS in /etc/init.d/acpid | 23:21 |
| daef | nicolah: i found an abstract way to boot any live-cd from an usb-stick | 23:21 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - just gotta do something ... brb | 23:21 |
| levander | MrKeuner: It looks like you're supposed to modify some /etc/default/acpid file. Hold on. | 23:21 |
| === bfigueiredo is now known as brenof | ||
| cjones | can you sitch user in to root | 23:22 |
| daef | nicolah: i think you just copy everything and set the bootable flag | 23:22 |
| ompaul | !root | cjones | 23:23 |
| ubotu | cjones: 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 | 23:23 |
| nicolah | daef: should it work ? | 23:23 |
| CorruptTerrorist | i'm having a poblem with suspend and hibernate | 23:23 |
| nicolah | looks pretty easy but I never heard of this method | 23:23 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - no claudio yet? | 23:23 |
| CorruptTerrorist | my pc just shots down | 23:23 |
| daef | nicolah: hold on... crawling my bookmarks ;) | 23:24 |
| levander | MrKeuner: you see the "x$VERBOSE" = "xno" in /etc/init.d/acpid? It seems like you can set VERBOSE=yes in /etc/default/acpid to get some more verbosity. Still looking. | 23:24 |

| ArthurArchnix | dunno.. was searching the dell subforum on ubuntuforums. | 23:25 |
| nicolah | thanks | 23:25 |
| cjones | ompaul i have already set the root password as well as enabeled gnome root login just want to know if you can just switch user instead of logging all the way out ? | 23:25 |
| MrKeuner | levander: I set VERBOSE=yes I still get similar /var/log/acpid output, is there a way to test? | 23:25 |
| levander | MrKeuner: Well, I'm thinking now that MODPROBE_OPTIONS variable is for modprobe, not acpid. So, you'll get more logging from modprobe. Does acpid call modproble? | 23:25 |
| MrKeuner | levander: actually, if I add -d to OPTIONS in /etc/defaults/acpid I get lots of logging in stdin/stderr but not into /var/log/acpid | 23:26 |
| levander | MrKeuner: 'man modprobe' says modprobe checks MODPROBE_OPTIONS. 'man acpid' says nothing abou that variable. | 23:26 |
| MrKeuner | levander: dont't know | 23:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: except that I've found 2 people with same issue: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=605434&highlight=shutdown and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=618724&highlight=shutdown | 23:26 |

| ompaul | !supportroot | 23:26 |
| 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 ;-) | 23:26 |

| * ompaul greps logs | 23:28 | |
| * nickrud also lies a lot | 23:28 | |
| levander | MrKeuner: Yeah, I see what /etc/init.d/acpid is calling acpid with $OPTIONS as an argument. Now it's a matter of looking in 'man acpid' to see what command line options can be passed to acpid for output redirection. | 23:28 |
| MrKeuner | levander: it loads modules but I don;t know what modules they might be | 23:28 |
| Slart | CorruptTerrorist: mysql *on* apache2? | 23:28 |
| Ballena | is there a site with info on what ports that is ok to have open? i just portscanned my router anf found some ports that i don't know if the should be open... | 23:28 |

| Cpudan80 | Basically -- I want to setup dual displays (it's a laptop) --- the laptop panel should display at 1024x768, the external should use 1280x1024 --- they both should "mirror" the actual desktop (ie. no extensions). It's an ATI Mobility 7500 with radeon drivers | 23:31 |

| daef | claudio75: try sudo bash and then call the file | 23:32 |
| nickrud | daef: better to suggest sudo -i | 23:32 |
| claudio75 | danand: ah no wait....it has worked | 23:33 |
| Cpudan80 | So far, I have the internal display and external display showing the correct resolutions --- but on the external display, the desktop (and GDM window) are shoved in the upper left corner (taking up 1024x768 pixels) ---- I can drag windows beyond this to take up the full space available on the monitor --- but I really shouldn't have to do that | 23:33 |
| Cpudan80 | Any ideas? | 23:33 |

| prodigel | Hi all. I want to setup a wireless network, and probably I'm very close to do it, but I don't have the certainty. Currently I'm connected to the wireless access point by cable, also by wireless, on cable I got an IP(I'm chatting here by wire) but by wireless I don't get any response on dhclient. How do I check if I'm really connected to the wireless network, and if so how do I get an IP from it? | 23:33 |

| Slart | prodigel: you should have a separate interface for the wireless connection.. just try sudo ifup youtwirelessinterfacehere.. and see if it gets an ip.. or use the network manager | 23:34 |
| daef | prodigel: a network-package analysis tool | 23:34 |

| Aghachi | no really | 23:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: I have been. Dell's site I mean. | 23:37 |
| Aghachi | is it becuase my c: drive does not contain windows? | 23:37 |
| SpudDogg | prodigel: if you're not sure, unplug your ethernet cable and run 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart' and that device should get an IP, assuming you have your encryption key, etc set up in '/etc/network/interfaces' Keep in mind that after restarting the networking initscript, you won't have any connection as long as the ethernet cable is unplugged and the wireless device is not set up properly | 23:37 |

| Aghachi | should i unplug external and c if that works? | 23:40 |
| Carbonflux | Slart, heh ya I understand...upgrading is a nice luxury if possible :) | 23:40 |
| daef | g2g... | 23:40 |
| Dante123 | daef: what do you mean? SpudDogg: how do I do that? | 23:40 |
| daef | ...bye | 23:40 |
| milamb3r | slart - apt-get command not working | 23:40 |
| bod_ | Slart, i believe their also trying to make it possible to upgrade from fiesty to hardy, skipping gutsy,.,.afaik | 23:40 |
| kenro | daef: Yeah you said that. I did that. Silly me, I plugged into a power outlet, not a dataport. I was in a coma for 6 weeks. | 23:40 |
| SpudDogg | Dante123: well, you could do it one of 2 ways: (hang on, typing this out) | 23:40 |
| Slart | bod_: ah.. some developers deserve a cookie I think =) | 23:40 |
| daef | kenro: ah....... | 23:41 |
| bod_ | Slart, absolutely | 23:41 |
| Slart | milamb3r: not working? errors? | 23:41 |
| levander | Dante123: modify you're /boot/grub/menu.lst so that the default boot entry does not boot with 'quiet splash' but instead boots with 'nosplash'. This way, next time you get the error, you will see the last message the system has printed out, and it won't be hidden by the splash screen. | 23:41 |
| daef | Dante123: the thingie where your power cord goes in may not do it's job | 23:41 |
| SpudDogg | 1: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to get rid of "splash" at the end of the "kernel" line or... | 23:41 |
| Carbonflux | being able to upgrade is going to help adoption in the desktop area. | 23:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_, It was lts version to lts version daper to hardy | 23:41 |
| SpudDogg | Dante123: 1: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to get rid of "splash" at the end of the "kernel" line or... | 23:41 |
| kenro | daef: tat was the second time I did that. | 23:41 |
| daef | Dante123: http://www.rasurbo.com/images/fotos/rasurbo_netzteil_silent.jpg | 23:41 |
| danand | Jack_Sparrow - what system was that on? | 23:41 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, ah dapper,.,.before fiesty right? | 23:42 |
| Slart | I just love this factoid.. | 23:42 |
| Slart | !doesntwork | 23:42 |
| daef | kenro: i got 230 volts a few times - never ended in more than a little scream ;) | 23:42 |
| ubotu | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 23:42 |
| * daef lucky me | 23:42 | |
| Jack_Sparrow | danand, just one of the old ones I have sitting around | 23:42 |
| Aghachi | daef so do i need a C;\ internal is that the problem? | 23:42 |
| danand | Jack_Sparrow - ok | 23:42 |
| Dante123 | daef: you mean from power supply to mobo? levander: do I just edit line to "nosplash" - is that the right syntax | 23:42 |
| levander | Dante123: don't get a new power supply till you've seen what error message your system is hanging at | 23:42 |
| daef | Aghachi: you need a /dev/*d** | 23:42 |
| claudio75 | danand: so? | 23:42 |
| danand | claudio75 - do you still have windows on your machine? | 23:42 |
| SpudDogg | Dante123: 2. When the grub screen comes up during boot, press "e" to edit the boot commands. Simply get rid of the "splash" on the end of the kernel line. you will have to do this every time you boot until you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_, yes | 23:42 |
| claudio75 | danand: no | 23:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: Everything I can find says the bios is bad in this series. | 23:42 |
| Aghachi | daef english please or tell me where i can translate that | 23:43 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, ty ;~) | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:43 |
| bod_ | Slart, mistake -- its daper to hardy, not fiesty to hardy | 23:43 |
| SpudDogg | Dante123: when you're done editing the line, "enter" to save it, then "b" to boot it | 23:43 |
| azzic | could anyone help me with Pidgin? qry plz... | 23:43 |
| ArthurArchnix | Although one person said 1.0.3 was certified by novell. | 23:43 |
| daef | Aghachi: you need a /dev/sd** or /dev/hd** | 23:43 |
| kenro | daef: I must have more salt and heavy metals in my blood than usual, then. Nearly killed -me-... | 23:43 |
| werneck | I'm trying to make ubuntu start vncserver at boot... a pretty simple script at /etc/init.d, and the link at /etc/rc3.d/S99vncstart, but no luck... it doesn't even touch it | 23:43 |
| Slart | bod_: yes.. that makes sense.. lst to lst | 23:43 |
| claudio75 | danand: i have not windows here | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_, Still some issues being worked on.. | 23:43 |
| daef | kenro: not so funny one... ;) | 23:43 |
| bod_ | Slart, i think you mean -- lts to lts | 23:43 |
| Aghachi | i dont understand what that means is that i commadn i type in the text mode? | 23:43 |
| levander | SpudDogg: after he edits /boot/grub/menu.lst, does he have to run update-grub or something like that? I can't remember if you have to reinstall grub after modifying that file or not. | 23:43 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - was just getting around to trying that - dell has new bios revision out 1.0.9 i think .... trouble is ... no windows | 23:44 |
| Slart | bod_: well.. long time support or long support time.. it's all good =) | 23:44 |
| daef | can anyone tell Aghachi why a c:\ drive is wrong?? | 23:44 |
| claudio75 | ArthurArchnix: mine is 1.0.7 | 23:44 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, thats to be expected as hardy isnt stable yet,. but i hear that skippin distro upgrade is tricky anyway,.,. | 23:44 |
| SpudDogg | levander: Dante123: you will NOT have to re-run grub-install or update grub or anything like that...Just reboot | 23:44 |
| bod_ | Slart, i thought it was -- long term suppot | 23:44 |
| Aghachi | daef ok so im in xp i want to reformat my d and e to a partion that ubuntu will use | 23:44 |
| kenro | daef: roleplay, not comedy... And you never believed the first word, huh? ;) | 23:44 |
| daef | Aghachi: backslashes are evil... windows uses backslashes... windows is evil.... use linux - you will get rid of c:\ d:\ and so on... | 23:44 |
| Dante123 | okay will try the "e" method first. I admit daef that I have a pretty cheap power supply in their but enough power for the system. I'll try to see what the message is without the splash screen there. If I decide to disable splash do I add nosplash at the end of the line or just delete the reference to splash and it defaults to nosplash? | 23:45 |
| stormze1 | A line in a script is giving me the error "58: Syntax error: Bad for loop variable", but the same line is working as it should in bash: for ((i=1;i< (( 10 + 1 )) ;i+=1)); do echo $i; done . There is a reference: #!/bin/bash at the top of the script. What is going on? | 23:45 |
| Aghachi | i wanna make those one partion and format it for linux | 23:45 |
| Slart | bod_: hmm.. I think you might be right there... I give up.. I need coffee or sleep.. on or the other.. | 23:45 |
| claudio75 | danand: no wait...did you asked me if i have windows xp or vista???? | 23:45 |
| bod_ | daef, but ur ubuntu drive is z:\ ;~) | 23:45 |
| Slart | *one | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_, lts to lts is the ultimate goal... not sure thay have it working yet.. | 23:45 |
| daef | kenro: i played dsa and dnd a few yrs ago... | 23:45 |
| bod_ | Slart, im going with coffee tonight ;~) | 23:45 |
| SpudDogg | Dante123: nosplash might work, but i just remove splash completely | 23:45 |
| arakthor | What's a fast way to install the majority of the common developer packges? | 23:46 |
| mnuaimat | hello everybody, can anyone tell me how to install GTK-sopcast, the .deb provided in http://linuxtoy.org/archives/gtk_sopcast.html doesn't install here, since iam using 64bit arch, heeeeeeeeeeellllllllp please | 23:46 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, why is it so difficult? is it because they dont completely ebuild things from scratch each time, they just add kernal patches and stuff? | 23:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | claudio75: I know. danand.. seen this? | 23:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware | 23:46 |
| daef | Aghachi: format the drives via linux.. | 23:46 |
| daef | Aghachi: where is the prob? | 23:46 |
| kenro | daef: I've lived and breathed WhiteWolf for 10 years now. | 23:46 |
| Aghachi | ok when i boto the ubuntu cd | 23:46 |
| Aghachi | and let it count down for install | 23:46 |
| Aghachi | nothing happends | 23:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bod_, If it was that simple, they would be having a hard time with it.. | 23:46 |
| Dante123 | okay thanks everyone... | 23:46 |
| Aghachi | boot* | 23:46 |
| Slart | stormze1: looks fine to me.. hang on.. let me try it | 23:46 |
| daef | kenro: okay... so your stamina may be higher than mine... | 23:47 |
| daef | kenro: my roleplay-time ended when i started working ;) | 23:47 |
| bod_ | Jack_Sparrow, i suppose theres alot of stuff to remember and alotof stuff ets forgotten (temporeroly) | 23:47 |
| Aghachi | im asking is it becuase it doesnt recognize a dirve? im lokking to format my d and e to one partion to be used for bntu | 23:47 |
| Aghachi | my xp is on d drive and e is just holding stuff and my c is a external hd | 23:48 |
| Slart | stormze1: you're running it using sh for some reason | 23:48 |
| daef | Aghachi: but formatting a device the installer cannot find will not force the find-progress | 23:48 |
| daef | Aghachi: the problem is something else!! | 23:48 |
| danand | claudio75 - on the machine with ubuntu on, do you dual boot with any windows system? | 23:48 |
| Aghachi | i kno its confusing i duno how i came into that setup lol | 23:48 |
| claudio75 | ArthurArchnix: no wait....i don't want to risk and change BIOS | 23:48 |
| Aghachi | what is it then? | 23:48 |
| claudio75 | danand: no!!! | 23:48 |
| Aghachi | my boot cd? | 23:48 |
| claudio75 | danand: i've only gutsy | 23:48 |
| kenro | daef: You've heard the saying 'I don't work. Takes away my fishing time'? | 23:48 |
| daef | Aghachi: that is the question you should ask... | 23:48 |
| bod_ | !enter > Aghachi please read pm from ubotu | 23:49 |
| zetheroo | how do you unblock someone on pidgin? | 23:49 |
| daef | kenro: no i didn't - but there is some truth in it | 23:49 |
| mad_max02 | how can I find out UUID of my hdd ?? | 23:49 |
| Slart | stormze1: or you're running it using dash... that also gives the error about the for-loop variable | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !uuid | 23:49 |
| ubotu | To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:49 |
| Slart | mad_max02: blkid | 23:49 |
| claudio75 | danand: i bought it with vista but i installed ubuntu formatting vista | 23:49 |
| kenro | heh | 23:49 |
| bod_ | claudio75, good move ;~) | 23:49 |
| claudio75 | danand: useing all the disk for ubuntu | 23:49 |
| daef | got 2 go... | 23:49 |
| stormze1 | Slart: Why would it do that when line 1 is: #!/bin/bash ? | 23:49 |
| daef | i part awayy | 23:49 |
| daef | bye | 23:49 |
| daef | have | 23:49 |
| daef | a | 23:49 |
| daef | lot | 23:49 |
| FloodBot2 | daef: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:49 |
| bod_ | ha | 23:50 |
| Slart | stormze1: check if /bin/bash isn't linked to dash | 23:50 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, thanks dude | 23:50 |
| Slart | stormze1: ls -l /bin/*sh | 23:50 |
| stormze1 | Slart: Oh no... I bet it is.. | 23:50 |
| Slart | mad_max02: you're welcome | 23:50 |
| Slart | stormze1: try changing it to #!/bin/rbash | 23:50 |
| Triston | My system keeps hard locking and it's getting really annoying. How should I go about finding out the cause? | 23:50 |
| kenro | I need a #manga fix... | 23:50 |
| stormze1 | Slart: It isn't, but bin/sh is... is it ubuntu overriding me? | 23:51 |
| bod_ | Triston, when does it "had lock" ? | 23:51 |
| stormze1 | Slart: What is rbash? | 23:51 |
| kenro | Any suggestions? | 23:51 |
| Aghachi | im so confused right now.... whats my problem if nothing happends when i push the enter botten at the boot menu to install | 23:51 |
| Slart | stormze1: it's another executable in /bin.. linked to bash on my computer at least | 23:51 |
| claudio75 | danand: what are you thinking? any new idea? | 23:51 |
| Darkmystere | ok well, anyone know how to stop a command run in ALT+F2 thing? | 23:52 |
| Slart | Darkmystere: pkill nameofprocess | 23:52 |
| stormze1 | Slart: No joy. Some error. | 23:52 |
| Triston | bod_: It's done it once before while the computer was idle, but it's almost always while I'm using the internet, through a browser or otherwise. I don't know if it matters, but I'm using a wifi adapter with ndiswrapper. | 23:52 |
| bod_ | Darkmystere, top to find what its called,. then killall processname | 23:52 |
| Slart | Darkmystere: or xkill and click the window you want to kill | 23:52 |
| factotum | My mp3 file names are a mess, anyone recommend and app to get them organized? | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Triston, I would run any live version and see if the problem persists. If the problem persists then it is a hardware issue like ram , power supplyor an overheating cpu if not it will be an os issue | 23:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | claudio75: ok. Well, if you change your mind instructions are on that link. At this point I'd say phone dell. | 23:52 |
| Odd-rationale | factotum: easytag! | 23:52 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, dude do you maybe know what up with CPU count. I just installed new cpu and in libsensors it shows 4 cores (2 Core0 and 2 Core1) | 23:53 |
| Slart | stormze1: can't you just run the script with bash .. as in "bash scriptname" ? | 23:53 |
| danand | claudio75 - ok - looks like ArthurArchnix found a site that will help us out ... apparently dell do a utility to enable ubuntu to update the bios ... see http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware | 23:53 |
| bod_ | Triston, browse your /home/Triston/ folder with nautilus then look for error logs? | 23:53 |
| Triston | Jack_Sparrow: Unfortunately, I wish it were a hardware issue. It doesn't do this in my Windows install. | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | factotum: or kid3 if for kde. | 23:53 |
| Slart | mad_max02: you've got quad-core? | 23:53 |
| factotum | Odd-rationale: thank you very much! | 23:53 |
| MrKeuner | levander: yes, I see your point. Testing now | 23:53 |
| claudio75 | ArthurArchnix: uhmmm...no i don't want to change BIOS...it's a too big risk | 23:53 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - good find :) | 23:53 |
| bod_ | Triston, on windows? ask in ##windows | 23:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Triston, Does it do it with a LIVE ubuntu disk? | 23:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: He doesn't want to. I'm going to bed now... boot with acpi=off and see if that helps. | 23:53 |
| Odd-rationale | factotum: np | 23:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | claudio75: danand good luck! | 23:53 |
| factotum | Odd-rationale: Just cause you mentioned it, have you tried kde4 yet? | 23:54 |
| claudio75 | danand: already seen it....but it's a risk!!! | 23:54 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - ok night | 23:54 |
| stormze1 | Slart: Yes, that works. ( However, it's one of about 50 scripts, with calls written all over in all 50 scripts. ) | 23:54 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, nope. Just installed faster AMD X2. I also had AMD X2 before this one. Same mobo and everything just swapped cpus | 23:54 |
| Triston | Jack_Sparrow: I haven't tried that yet, but I will. I think it's something to do with my wifi adapter, but I can't be sure. It didn't do this before I used ndiswrapper. | 23:54 |
| Odd-rationale | factotum: yes I have. Went back to 3.5 and waiting eagerly for 4.1. :) | 23:54 |
| danand | claudio75 - hmmmm... | 23:54 |
| claudio75 | arththanks a lot..goodnight | 23:54 |
| stormze1 | Slart: I kind of expected that #!/bin/bash would be the final word. | 23:54 |
| Slart | stormze1: nggh.. I see the problem... I think you need to speak with one of the gurus in the channel | 23:54 |
| Triston | bod_: I don't see any error log files in that folder. | 23:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Triston, Ok.. so you have some clues as to where the problem will be | 23:55 |
| Darkmystere | well, i have xwinwrapper running i want to stop it it has the glmatrix thing running as my background | 23:55 |
| bod_ | Slart, bash probs might be solved eeasier in #bash ? | 23:55 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, and this is what I get at the end of dmsg | grep CPU | 23:55 |
| Slart | stormze1: it does seem that way.. don't really know why it does that.. | 23:55 |
| factotum | Odd-rationale: Ive been wanting to check it out but havent gotten around to it. I was a Mac user up until about a year ago when I sold my G4. I was drooling at the screenshots. But anyways thanks again. | 23:55 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, [ 30.407918] Brought up 2 CPUs | 23:55 |
| danand | claudio75 - do you want to try it? | 23:55 |
| stormze1 | bod_: This appears to be a ubuntu problem. | 23:55 |
| bod_ | Triston, try einstalling the wifi and donload the driver again | 23:55 |
| Odd-rationale | factotum: FYI, easytag has a better intefaces than kid3. One of the few really great gkt+ apps... | 23:55 |
| Triston | Jack_Sparrow: Speculation.. I don't have any proof yet that it's the cause, though. I'd use the default driver "prism54usb" that comes up, but when I use it, my wifi adapter disconnects every now and again. | 23:55 |
| claudio75 | danand: no...i'm sorry...the risk is too big | 23:56 |
| Slart | bod_: well.. it isn't a bash problem.. =) we're trying to make it a bash problem but at the moment it's a dash problem =) | 23:56 |
| stormze1 | bod_: ( All of the scripts worked in FC6 ) | 23:56 |
| bod_ | stormze1, an ubuntu problem concerning bash? wouldnt bash programmers be helpfull? | 23:56 |
| MrKeuner | levander: set OPTIONS in /etc/default/acpid to "-d 2>&1 /var/log/acpid" (i think 2>>&1 is the right syntax) I guess there is a problem with that, shouldn't it be -d 2>>&1 -l /var/log/acpid ? | 23:56 |
| bod_ | Slart, lol,.,.ok | 23:56 |
| stormze1 | bod_: Don't think so -- think it's more of a ubuntu packaging issue. | 23:56 |
| Decinoge | i would kinda propose to doxygen people this icon, if it didn't violated a bunch of copyrights: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Decinoge/doxyShow.png | 23:56 |
| Decinoge | :\ | 23:56 |
| Slart | mad_max02: but there might be 2 sensors for each processor.. for some reason | 23:56 |
| bod_ | stormze1, kk, fair play | 23:56 |
| * bod_ pre warns his internet will be cut off in the next 20 mins | 23:57 | |
| stormze1 | Slart: Got a particular guru that you would recommend for this problem? | 23:57 |
| MrKeuner | levander: or -d 2>>&1 >> /var/log/acpid ? | 23:57 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, maybe I should reinstall libsensor ?? | 23:57 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, strange thing is that I get 4 diff measurements :D | 23:58 |
| Slart | stormze1: hmm.. have you tried putting a space between the ! and /bin/bash ? | 23:58 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, ranging from 5 to 19 degrees | 23:58 |
| Slart | stormze1: #! /bin/bash | 23:58 |
| Starnestommy | try chmod +x ./scriptname | 23:58 |
| bod_ | Slart, why would/could that be a problem? | 23:58 |
| claudio75 | danand: still thinking about it? if not then i'll go to sleep....i'll try again tomorrow morning and afternoon | 23:58 |
| Slart | mad_max02: I don't think that will change anything.. but there is a detection script that tries to find out what sensors you ahve.. you might want to run that again | 23:58 |
| MrKeuner | levander: unfortunately, none of them work as intended | 23:58 |
| kenro | Where's a goog anim-manga #irc? | 23:59 |
| Slart | bod_: because that's the way they write it in the wiki.. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh | 23:59 |
| mad_max02 | Slart, where to find that ? | 23:59 |
| Triston | I think I found a possible problem.. looks like I'm using an old ndiswrapper version.. not sure how I did that. I was pretty sure it was the latest. | 23:59 |
