| Pelo | Lowke1, and sun-java6-bin as well , after that I'm out of ideas | 00:00 |
| jessid | LjL oops i think i will have to read a little more before asking about this again...i am very thankful!!! | 00:00 |
| mouseboyx | LjL, no i see maybe it should have another wildcard before it? | 00:01 |
| nemo | Antkin: I'm thinking he should just use the Vista boot loader instead of grub. | 00:01 |
| nemo | if Vista is going to be an ass about this | 00:01 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: going strictly by what you said, i.e. « replace " 660 480" where the numbers are wildcards with "" null », that would be « sed 's/ [[:digit:]]+ [[:digit:]]+//g/' | 00:01 |
| Pelo | nemo, vista is an ass about everything | 00:01 |
| nemo | apparently he can't ditch vista or person who got him the laptop will be annoyed | 00:01 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: no | 00:01 |
| omnistegan | Hey guys, I seem to have encountered a strange problem. My sound was working fine up until I changed a video setting for a game under wine, then all my sound stopped. Since then I've found that sound works in a few things (totem movie player for example) but not for others (Amarok, firefox, aMSN, log in log out sounds, etc.) any suggestions? | 00:02 |
| soderqvist | usser: now all of a sudden my sound has disappeared. I pressed audio in wine, and it said something about installed drivers. But now Its gone? | 00:02 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: so are you looking to simply every couple of numbers in the file? | 00:02 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, java not working with ff? | 00:02 |
| Sarah | omnistegan: Do you have multiple sound cards? | 00:02 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: so are you looking to simply delete every couple of numbers in the file? | 00:02 |

| Pelo | Lowke1, you might also want to try and install flash manualy from the adobe website, get the tar.gz file and just follow the instructions in it | 00:03 |
| _Oz_ | !screenshot | 00:03 |
| ubotu | Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button or the File -> Acquire menu in the GIMP. | 00:03 |
| Sarah | omnistegan: The problem is most likely that wine somehow changed which output goes to which sound card. Try plugging in the other sound card and see if the programs that now give no sound suddenly do. | 00:03 |
| Lowke1 | okay pelo | 00:03 |
| soderqvist | My sound has disapperared, how can I get it to work again? | 00:03 |
| nemo | Antkin: hm. doesn't seem to cover vista in particular. I have a feeling this OS is a whole different beastie from XP | 00:03 |
| _Oz_ | Ubuntu friends: where can I paste a screenshot online? | 00:03 |
| nemo | Antkin: thanks though | 00:03 |
| mouseboyx | It still does not work | 00:03 |
| danand | mouseboyx - not sure what your trying to do - sed 's/\*//g' file.txt will replace all instances of "*" in the file with "" ie 6*0 will be output as 60 | 00:03 |
| Sarah | soderqvist: Can you give a little moe to go on? :-) | 00:04 |

| LjL | mouseboyx: « sed 's/[[:digit:]]\+ [[:digit:]]\+//g' » this will work to delete every couple of numbers with a space inbetween | 00:04 |
| omnistegan | Sarah: Yeah, that worked, is there an easy way to reset all the settings on the one card? | 00:04 |
| mouseboyx | There are many wget http://www.addictinggames.com/D78AQSAKQLQWI9/1434.swf 550 380 and i want to get rid of the numbers at the end exactly | 00:04 |
| === iositd is now known as hischild | ||
| Antkin | nemo Vista is not much of an improvement over XP it still uses NTFS | 00:04 |
| mouseboyx | "wget http://www.addictinggames.com/D78AQSAKQLQWI9/1434.swf 550 380" | 00:04 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: you should ensure that doesn't get you rid of *other* numbers too. | 00:04 |
| duckly | Hi Im in then ubuntu livecd enviroment. I want to write on my hdd but i have to sudo -i first and start all programs as root in the xterm (like gedit /mnt/gentoo/home/list.txt instead of using nautilius) to be able to do that. is there a way to automaticly be root in livecd so i can in nautilius doubble click on a textfile, alter it, and and after saving it? | 00:04 |
| Sarah | omnistegan: I would advise disabling the unused sound card completely, barring that, try fidding around with the preferences on your volume icon. | 00:04 |
| _Oz_ | antkin: at the risk of getting offtopic there is literally nothing about vista that is an improvement over XP | 00:05 |
| nemo | Antkin: yeah. but it acts differently. Certainly I'd recommend XP if he had a choice. | 00:05 |
| mouseboyx | Thats why there are spaces in between them. | 00:05 |
| nemo | _Oz_: I've done two Vista to XP upgrades for friends in past month :) | 00:05 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: so my command will work. | 00:05 |
| soderqvist | Sarah I installed ubuntu today and it worked like 2 hours ago. Now I installed a new version of wine. And in wine theres a "audio" to go to. I pressed it and it said something about installed OSS drivers | 00:05 |
| Pelo | duckly, gsku nautilus will start nautilus as root for you | 00:05 |
| soderqvist | Whatever now it doesnt work nomore | 00:05 |
| Sarah | soderqvist: Heh, seems there's an epidemic. | 00:05 |
| _Oz_ | nemo: I've done it too. Infuriating that one has to do such a thing. Microsoft "broke" Windows with Vista | 00:05 |
| hischild | _Oz_, it has a better look, you have to give em credit for that ... yet it doesn't improve workspeed, it slows you down ... not like compiz speeds things up | 00:05 |
| Sarah | soderqvist: Do you have multiple sound cards? | 00:05 |
| mouseboyx | Thanks! | 00:05 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Pelo, i dont think jscript is handled by java-plugin | 00:05 |

| Pelo | [Hardy]TuTUXG, neither do I but we were out of options , he's getting a msg about either javascript or flash not being installed/enabled , both are , options are becoming limited | 00:07 |
| LjL | mouseboyx: anyway, i strongly suggest you ask a better question next time... you mixed a technical term - wildcards - with the idea that you simply wanted a turnkey command. now, what you wanted to do was to *remove every sequence of two space-separated multi-digits numbers*, and that's what you should have asked if you wanted a turnkey solution. if you wanted to learn about regular expressions, you could have asked about wildcards in a general sense. but the | 00:07 |
| LjL | way you asked simply didn't make sense. a space is a character. "wget" is characters. a URL is characters. unless you're used to pretty strange wildcards, asking "how can i change wildcards into nothing" doesn't make any sense. | 00:07 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Pelo, so flash is not working neither? | 00:07 |
| LjL | !gq > mouseboyx (mouseboyx, see the private message from Ubotu) | 00:07 |
| Sarah | soderqvist: My guess is that you have multiple sound cards and wine now set the sound output to the wrong card, the one that you don't use | 00:07 |

| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, first check if u have the flashplugin installed, go to /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ | 00:17 |
| hischild | ryjyd, then either you have a very strong sound input or it won't give you sound anyway | 00:18 |
| madmaxmad | icesword, do you know maybe how can I hotplug and mount eSata hdd ?? | 00:18 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, see if the dir exists and any files in it | 00:18 |
| danix | hola | 00:18 |
| soderqvist | Sarah I typed lsmod|grep snd in terminal and I get a lot of things.. | 00:18 |

| soderqvist | Sarah like this? http://pastebin.com/m3a11d91 | 00:19 |

| icesword | Antkin, i think i did not talk to you | 00:19 |

| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, so apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 00:20 |
| hischild | ryjyd, i only have experience in pluggin in an entire mixerboard into a soundcard | 00:20 |
| Stormx2 | Hi. Weird sort of question I know, but is there a way of outputting the current ALSA sound as raw PCM data? Like, to stdout. There must be a command for it, yeah? | 00:20 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: From googling a bit this seems to be a common problem with SMB and nautilus | 00:20 |
| Sarah | soderqvist: Yep | 00:20 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, u r not on amd 64 rn't u? | 00:20 |
| flowOver | madmaxmad: i think it's external sata | 00:20 |
| ryjyd | it woudl be the same either way... I' | 00:20 |
| hischild | ryjyd, tried a diff program to see if that could record? | 00:20 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: interesting. could I switch to a different filebrowser and not have this problem? | 00:20 |
| Lowke1 | permission denied, are you root? | 00:20 |
| Antkin | icesword I will not hold that against you, do you want to talk now? | 00:20 |
| Lowke1 | hardy | 00:20 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: possibly this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/153768 | 00:20 |
| ryjyd | m thinking driver problem, perhaps a config file change might be of interest? | 00:20 |
| madmaxmad | flowOver, thats correct. finally someone that knows what eSata is | 00:21 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: That's quite possible. | 00:21 |
| hischild | _Oz_, you tried to switch views? it seems like it's on details or sth like that now ... | 00:21 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, install with sudo | 00:21 |
| ryjyd | audacity captures | 00:21 |
| soderqvist | Sarah can u see anything interesting in that :P? | 00:21 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 00:21 |
| icesword | Antkin, i don't understand what are you talking about | 00:21 |
| _Oz_ | hischild: not sure what you meant by switch views | 00:21 |
| flowOver | i've only had a run in with it. don't expect that i'm experienced ;) | 00:21 |
| madmaxmad | nickrud, well its not that bug | 00:21 |
| Sarah | soderqvist: It appears you only have one sound card, so I believe I was mistaken in my diagnose. Do you not get any sound output at all? | 00:21 |
| DivineSpectrum | ovum | 00:21 |
| danand | soderqvist - can you pastebin the output of lspci ? | 00:21 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, ur not on amd64, right? | 00:21 |
| hischild | _Oz_, the way you view icons | 00:21 |

| Lowke1 | intel hardy | 00:21 |
| _Oz_ | hischild: I see. hold on | 00:21 |
| madmaxmad | Main problem is that my eSata is on 3rd sata connector and I have 2 disks on 4th and 5th sata connector | 00:22 |
| Antkin | icesword Do you want help with a problem on this forum? | 00:22 |
| icesword | Antkin, yeah,i love this channel | 00:22 |
| madmaxmad | so when I hotplug eSata hdd ist not even recognised | 00:22 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, r u using 64bit version of ubuntu? | 00:22 |
| Lowke1 | yes | 00:22 |
| _Oz_ | hischild: when I ctrl-1 to go back to folder views that error data goes away, but it comes back when I ctrl-2 back to detailed view (which I prefer). is this just an output problem? | 00:22 |
| Lowke1 | i do believe so | 00:22 |
| icesword | madmaxmad, did you try sudo mount -a | 00:22 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, so the flashplugin is not working | 00:22 |
| madmaxmad | lol | 00:22 |
| madmaxmad | dude I'm not that noob | 00:23 |
| ryjyd | right... audacity captures the input, records, and plays back, no issue | 00:23 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: I think nautilus simply misunderstands a file extension here or something similar. | 00:23 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, adobe doesnt support 64bit os | 00:23 |
| Antkin | icesword this is my second day on IRC, I have used Linux since 1999 | 00:23 |
| ryjyd | it sounds tiny/tinny, but it works | 00:23 |
| Lowke1 | w-t-f | 00:23 |
| madmaxmad | when I boot with eSata plugged it gets /dev/sdc1 | 00:23 |
| Lowke1 | so I can't have Flash? | 00:23 |
| madmaxmad | and can be mounted with no problem | 00:23 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: I'm starting to think you're right | 00:23 |
| hischild | _Oz_, hmm ... there might be another view to just list them all ... | 00:23 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, u can install the 32bit version of ff | 00:23 |
| madmaxmad | but when I boot without it hdd on 4th sata controler gets /dev/sdc1 | 00:23 |
| Lowke1 | okay | 00:23 |
| Lowke1 | where do I do that? | 00:23 |
| flowOver | Lowke1: you can chroot a 32bit ubuntu inside of it with ff and any other 64bit conflicted program into it | 00:23 |
| Lowke1 | firefox.com? | 00:24 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, and use the 32bit plugin | 00:24 |
| madmaxmad | so when I hotplug eSata hdd it dont get recognised | 00:24 |
| icesword | Antkin, you are my big brother then,i learned linux from 2007 | 00:24 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, wait a sec | 00:24 |
| Dr_willis | madmaxmad, this is when mounting by uuid gets handy. | 00:24 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 00:24 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: yu've made an fstab entry for it the? Did you use uuid | 00:24 |
| flowOver | i have a 64bit chip but run 32bit because the hassles aren't worth the few benefits i found with 64bit os. | 00:24 |
| madmaxmad | nickrud, u mean that I have to make UUID entries for about 20 hdds that I have and connect to eSata ??? | 00:24 |
| flowOver | 64bit is not ready for anything but server use | 00:24 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: What version of Ubuntu are you on? | 00:25 |
| soderqvist | danand of my lspci? | 00:25 |
| icesword | madmaxmad, i think if you have a product instrution,you 'd better have a look at it first | 00:25 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: or label the partitions, that works as well | 00:25 |
| madmaxmad | Dr_willis, problem is that I connect many diff drives | 00:25 |
| Antkin | icesword maybe even your dad I have used computers since 1975 | 00:25 |
| duckly | Pelo: I get "bash: gesku: command not found" Is there a other way? | 00:25 |
| madmaxmad | nickrud, how can I label partitions when I cant see hdd ?? | 00:25 |
| danand | soderqvist - type lspci in a terminal and pastebin the output - same as you did for lsmod | 00:25 |
| soderqvist | Sarah no its not muted or anything | 00:25 |
| hischild | flowOver, i have the same thing ... both for my server and my laptop | 00:25 |
| Pelo | duckly, gksu , sorry if I made a mistake | 00:25 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: you said you see it as sdc1 ? e2label /dev/sdc1 <label> ? | 00:26 |
| salsiloco | quick question guys, every time i load Ubuntu it forces a disk check but it stups either at 61.3% or 72.5% any ideas???? | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | madmaxmad, i always just start mounting things the old way. :) of course gnome has a way you can use the properties of the drives icon to customize its mountpoint and name. I just found that the other day | 00:26 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, have u enabled the universe and multiverse repos? | 00:26 |
| nickrud | Dr_willis: yeah, they shouldn't have hidden it below those triangles | 00:26 |
| soderqvist | danand here u go http://pastebin.com/m55c79375 | 00:26 |
| Lowke1 | yes | 00:26 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 lib32ncurses5 ia32-libs-sdl ia32-libs-gtk gsfonts gsfonts-x11 linux32 | 00:26 |
| Lowke1 | the options inside of synp, right? | 00:26 |
| madmaxmad | nickrud, I see it when I boot with eSata hdd on. I dont want to reboot everytime I change eSata hdd | 00:26 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, yes | 00:27 |
| hischild | soderqvist, are you on a laptop? | 00:27 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: just umount and mount. The automount issue is the hal bug I think | 00:27 |
| icesword | Antkin, f*** !what you mean,how did i offend you,you dick | 00:27 |
| madmaxmad | Dr_willis, well I mount from terminal too but how can you mount something u dont see at all ?? | 00:27 |
| danand | soderqvist - ok | 00:27 |
| Lowke1 | couldn't find package inside of ia32-libs [Hardy]TuTUXG | 00:27 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: 7.10 | 00:27 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: Oh and could you try typing smb:// in the nautilus bar and see what happens? | 00:27 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, gusty? | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis | madmaxmad, that sounds more like a kernel bug then. :( | 00:27 |
| Lowke1 | yes | 00:27 |
| madmaxmad | nickrud, I CANT MOUNT HOTPLUGED eSATA HDD BECAUSE I DONT SEE IT | 00:27 |
| icesword | nickrud, you see what Antkin said | 00:27 |
| salsiloco | quick question guys, every time i load Ubuntu it forces a disk check but it stups either at 61.3% or 72.5% any ideas???? | 00:27 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: typing smb:/// gives me two windows networks | 00:28 |
| Antkin | icesword you have not offended me | 00:28 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, a sec | 00:28 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 00:28 |
| madmaxmad | its not the kernel bug its the /dev assignment problem | 00:28 |
| nickrud | icesword: and you also. Antkin you both drop it, or work it out in pm | 00:28 |
| duckly | Pelo:np Ill try that instead :) thanks! | 00:28 |
| icesword | Antkin, why you said that, | 00:28 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: and that's libata. You'll have to adapt | 00:28 |
| soderqvist | It worked earlier and I had sound when i installed ubuntu | 00:28 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: smb seems to work overall | 00:28 |
| madmaxmad | it would be good if I could assign /dev/sdxx to 3rd sata connector | 00:28 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: Oh wait, sorry. You're experiencing this problem with stuff that isn't SMB at all | 00:28 |
| icesword | Antkin, what i did? | 00:28 |
| flats | I'm sorry someone mentioned to me earlier what I needed to do so I didn't have to enter the root password everytime something needed admin rights. What was that? | 00:28 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: Does it happen if you browse for instance your home directory? | 00:29 |
| icesword | Antkin, do explain,this is not funny,not a joke | 00:29 |
| Darkmystere | CCan some one please help me get internet working on m,y ubuntu box i really need it working never noticed how useless a linux distro is without internet :/.... | 00:29 |
| hischild | flats, you never enter the root password. are you talking about entering your own password when sudo'ing? | 00:29 |
| flats | yes, sorry thats what I mean | 00:29 |
| hischild | Darkmystere, can you be a bit more specific? like does it find the interface? | 00:29 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: n | 00:29 |

| Antkin | icesword I'm not joking do you want help or not? | 00:29 |
| hischild | flats, visudo | 00:29 |

| danand | soderqvist - type asoundconf list in a terminal and see what the output says | 00:30 |
| salsiloco | quick question, every time i boot Ubuntu it forces a disk check, but it stops either at 61.3% or 72.5% any ideas how to fix this???? | 00:30 |
| Sarah | _Oz_: Sorry, I'm stumped then. Might be a problem with Gnome mime types or something. I don't know. :( | 00:30 |
| icesword | Antkin, did i ask you for help?you!English! | 00:30 |
| _Oz_ | sarah: it's a pretty minor problem... no big deal. thanks for thinking about it. | 00:30 |

| soderqvist | danand: anything:S? | 00:32 |
| danand | soderqvist - type alsamixer in a terminal - go through the settings checcking all have reasonable values ie not muted. also check if you have an entry for an external amplifier. if that is enabled you need to disable it | 00:32 |
| nickrud | madmaxmad: then sudo fdisk -l won't show it after the hotplug. Just trying to get my head around all the symptoms | 00:32 |
| icesword | Antkin, then why you said "that even your ...",you must apologize,i have been here for a while,and never seen people like YOU!it is not a joke! | 00:32 |
| nickrud | icesword: that was not an insult, it was stating he'd probably been using computers since before your dad | 00:33 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and copy the content of that file to pastebin | 00:33 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 00:33 |
| nickrud | icesword: so, cool down ;) | 00:33 |

| Lowke1 | [Hardy]TuTUXG: did you get that? | 00:42 |
| hischild | ryjyd, i was afraid of that ... basically means it can't use the input ... thus we know the problem isn't very likely to be the program | 00:42 |

| Zayne | Hello.. I hope I am in the right place. I'm pretty much at my wit's end, and i've searched the forums and documentation to no avail. I'm hoping someone can help me through a problem with Ubuntu, namely that upon making it to the login screen the graphics become severely garbled, so much that I can not see to even log in. I'm assuming it's due to my video card. | 00:48 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a way to have Ubuntu auto-detect the domain to use when you're connecting to a SMB server? | 00:48 |
| emomika | yes 7.10 | 00:48 |
| flats | Ok, Now I'm going to ask a step further. Thanks to hischild I got it to not need a sudo password. What about config options from the GUI that just ask for a password. I want my user to just have access to these without needing to enter that password. | 00:48 |
| ryjyd | hischild: the soundcard i am using here is the onboard... i have a soundblaster live (yeah oldskool, I laugh at it too) with like 4-55 jacks on it... think that would make a difference that the onboard does not? | 00:48 |
| releod | Anyone know a solution to stream music/movies from my ubuntu server onto my xbox360 (similar to Connect360 for OSX) | 00:48 |
| hischild | flatface, that's already set by editing | 00:48 |
| RyanPrior | Zayne: have you tried fixing X via the emergency boot procedure? | 00:48 |
| bruenig_ | Zayne: do ctrl + alt + f1 when you get there, login via tty and fix your configuration | 00:48 |
| Antkin | emomika do you need any help tonight? | 00:48 |
| Lowke1 | [Hardy]TuTUXG: I didn't know that sorry =[ | 00:48 |
| hischild | ryjyd, it might if ubuntu can recognize it properly | 00:48 |
| danand | soderqvist - does cat /dev/urandom > /dev/audio still give a "device busy" error? | 00:48 |

| Zayne | I.. okay. I feel like an idiot but I have no idea what you're asking me to do. I'm totally new to this. | 00:49 |

| nickrud | see you later Pelo | 00:49 |
| === The_Doctor is now known as W6JCN | ||
| hischild | soderqvist, do you know wether it is an intel soundcard by chance ... | 00:49 |
| bruenig_ | Zayne: when you get the the garbled login screen, do that keyboard shortcut, you can log in to the console | 00:49 |
| Bidou | hi | 00:49 |
| W6JCN | oops | 00:49 |
| W6JCN | sorry | 00:49 |
| soderqvist | danand: yes it still says the same | 00:49 |
| RyanPrior | Zayne: reboot your computer, and when GRUB comes up, hit esc. Then select to do the diagnostic boot up. | 00:49 |
| ZackVixACD | well, thanks for the help. I was hoping to see someone who has had teh same issue and was able to fix it. But thanks for asnwering. I will keep on googling I guess... | 00:49 |
| soderqvist | hischild dont know | 00:49 |
| RyanPrior | Zayne: it will boot to a menu where you can continue booting, fix X, or a few other things. Fix X, then continue booting. | 00:50 |
| Bidou | Hi, I cant connect to the jabber server im.apinc.org the error is: "conflict" | 00:50 |
| Antkin | Bidou Welcome Do you have a problem? | 00:50 |
| ryjyd | hischild: I think I need to disable the onboard first... have to come back later and let you know what breaks and whatnot... I had it in here at one point, but ubuntu kept switching cards randomly between reboots | 00:50 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, then that's easier | 00:50 |
| Lowke1 | [Hardy]TuTUXG: good | 00:50 |
| hischild | ryjyd, you can disable onboard just by bios? | 00:50 |
| ryjyd | hischild: most definintely | 00:50 |
| Zayne | When I hit ESC, I didn't see this option. I had a standard boot, and then one for recovery mode, and then a.. i'm not sure. it said memtest or something. | 00:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | is there a way to disable the bubble popup of update-manager and other taskbar programs | 00:50 |
| RyanPrior | Zayne: recovery mode is the one. | 00:50 |
| Bidou | Antkin: yes i cant connect to the jabber server im.apinc.org the error is: "conflict" | 00:51 |
| Zayne | Okay. And what do I type there? | 00:51 |
| danand | soderqvist - theres probably a nicer way to do this but ... some process is using your soundcard and stopping it from being used. the best thing i can suggest is to reboot the machine :) | 00:51 |
| hischild | ryjyd, good luck ... i need some sleep | 00:51 |
| soderqvist | ill try to reboot | 00:51 |
| soderqvist | dont think it will work | 00:51 |
| RyanPrior | Zayne: don't type anything. Just boot into recovery mode, select the fix X option, then continue booting. | 00:51 |
| Bidou | maybe it's my firewall ? but how can i fix it ? | 00:51 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, ur sources.list is a little bit messy, i need some time here | 00:51 |
| ryjyd | night then... thanks for the help in finding the issue | 00:51 |
| Antkin | Bidou are you using Kopete? | 00:51 |
| hischild | danand, maybe wierd suggestion ... can't you unload the module so it can't use it? | 00:51 |
| Lowke1 | [Hardy]TuTUXG: okay, thank you for your help | 00:51 |
| Bidou | Antkin: no Gajim | 00:51 |
| danand | soderqvist - sorry, but i've gotta go to bed ... hope that works | 00:52 |
| === joer_ is now known as Syn- | ||
| Antkin | Bidou I have used Gaim | 00:52 |
| Zayne | But when I boot into recovery mode, it simply scrolls a whole lot of text then leaves me at a command prompt. I've never seen any options to select. | 00:52 |
| RyanPrior | Antkin: Gaim is not Gajim | 00:52 |
| danand | hischild - not sure if that would work or not ,,, reboot is simplest way :) | 00:52 |
| Flannel | Zayne: That's correct. What are you trying to accomplish? | 00:52 |
| Bidou | Antkin: I'm using gajim no gaim | 00:53 |
| RyanPrior | Antkin: They are ubar different. | 00:53 |
| danand | night all | 00:53 |
| nickrud | Zayne: that's what recovery mode does. What do you want to do? | 00:53 |
| nickrud | heh. Slow again | 00:53 |
| Zayne | I was being told to use a Fix X option in recovery mode. | 00:53 |
| hischild | good night folks, stay safe, and don't break it all <3 | 00:53 |

| zetheroo | hi there, | 00:54 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | i have printing problems | 00:54 |
| RyanPrior | Zayne: hmm, maybe that's something that's only in Hardy. If you're at a command prompt, try typing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:54 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | Ubuntu wont print anything | 00:54 |
| Antkin | zetheroo Welcome do you have a question? | 00:54 |
| theunixgeek | Which is better for a small business: Vista Business, OS X Leopard, or Ubuntu Linux 7.10? and why? | 00:55 |

| x89x | RyanPrior : hmm thanks. Ya i wanted something simillar to VS 3005 | 01:01 |
| RyanPrior | Bidou: It depends how you set your firewall up. What tool did you use? | 01:01 |
| Antkin | zetheroo do you have a problem? | 01:01 |
| Lowke1 | how do I get rid of the line #'s [Hardy]TuTUXG | 01:02 |

| deejay | bye | 01:02 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, use the field below | 01:02 |
| RyanPrior | Bidou: Sorry, none of your answers are useful. I doubt you even have a firewall. | 01:02 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | atlef: It added it | 01:02 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, on that page, u have an editable field below, see it? | 01:02 |
| MarcN | Bidou: sudo iptables --list shows you what firewall rules you have setup | 01:02 |

| DellbuntuStudio5 | What is a good Virus Scanner for Ubuntu? | 01:03 |
| === tuna-fish is now known as tuna | ||
| RyanPrior | DellbuntuStudio5: Ubuntu generally doesn't need virus scanning, but Clam is a good scanner if you want to scan files before passing them on to your Windows-using friends. | 01:03 |
| Bidou | Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) | 01:03 |
| Bidou | target prot opt source destination | 01:03 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | ok | 01:03 |
| RyanPrior | Bidou: Nope, you don't have a firewall then. That's not your problem. | 01:03 |
| Lowke1 | [Hardy]TuTUXG: workin on it 1 sec | 01:03 |
| Bidou | ok | 01:04 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | Can XFCE apps run in gnome, and Vise Versa? | 01:04 |
| Antkin | DellbuntuStudio5 have you tried Klamav? | 01:04 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: i recently had a client come in for help with their Ubuntu running laptop.... they told me that they had a Dual Boot system with Windows XP and Ubuntu Gutsy. One day she decided to boot into Windows XP instead of Ubuntu and after selecting Windows from the GRUB menu the, GRUB shot out the infamous Error 17....... | 01:04 |
| RyanPrior | DellbuntuStudio5: Yes. | 01:04 |
| Bidou | RyanPrior: so do you have any other solutions ? | 01:04 |
| MarcN | Bidou: they here are no rules, you don't have any setup. | 01:04 |
| ironcladlou | I am trying to create a launch for a shell script. It's necessary to cd to the directory before executing the script. I've tried making a launcher which does an sh -c "cd dir && ./script.sh", and the launcher does nothing. I've tried making an external script (executable) which does the cd/invocation and making a launcher which points directly to that script, and nothing happens. No output, no process. What am I doing wrong? | 01:04 |
| amenado | Bidou you have a firewall ready to go, it just happens to be that default rules are blank. | 01:04 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | kan KDE and gnome apps run? Can I have the KDE Envirmonet over Gnome? | 01:04 |
| bruenig | DellbuntuStudio5: you can run any app in any window manager | 01:04 |
| bruenig | DellbuntuStudio5: the split between desktop environments is entirely illusory | 01:04 |
| bruenig | it is just a bundle of apps | 01:05 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | oh | 01:05 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | ok | 01:05 |
| RyanPrior | amenado: That's not his problem. He was worrying that his firewall was interfering with his apps. | 01:05 |
| Antkin | zetheroo what is error 17? | 01:05 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | :-D | 01:05 |
| bruenig | people associate gui with more than they should | 01:05 |
| Bidou | MarcN, amenado so wath can i do to resolve my problem ? and connect myself to im.apinc.org ? | 01:05 |
| Lowke1 | ok [Hardy]TuTUXG | 01:05 |
| Lowke1 | now i do sudo apt-get update | 01:05 |
| amenado | RyanPrior-> but to advise him of him not having a firewall is false | 01:05 |
| Lowke1 | right? | 01:05 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, sudo | 01:05 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, in terminal: sudo apt-get update | 01:06 |
| amenado | Bidou-> can you resolve any website address like for example www.google.com | 01:06 |
| DellbuntuStudio5 | Bye! | 01:06 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 01:06 |
| RyanPrior | amenado: He has no firewall configured. He may have the capability buried down somewhere, but that's like saying you've got a ready-made nuclear launch system and just haven't configured it yet. It may be true, but it's not practical. :-) | 01:06 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: now when booting with the Live CD and checking out the Partitions in Gparted I can no longer see an ext3 partition | 01:06 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, one question, are u using ff2 or ff3? | 01:06 |
| Lowke1 | im not sure | 01:06 |
| === tripl is now known as tr1pl | ||
| Bidou | amenado: i can connect to google but i want to connect to the jabber server im.apinc.org with the gajim client | 01:06 |
| Lowke1 | it came with ubuntu 7.10 | 01:06 |
| amenado | RyanPrior you realized iptables is always there? | 01:06 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, open firefox check help -> about | 01:07 |
| Bidou | amenado: internet works at me | 01:07 |
| Lowke1 | 2.0.0.6 | 01:07 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, ok | 01:07 |
| amenado | Bidou-> can you resolve that address www.aplawrence.com ? | 01:07 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: there is only a huge 60GB NTFS partition, a 7GB Fat32 partition (the compaq recovery partition), and the 600 MB swap | 01:07 |
| RyanPrior | amenado: you realize that the nuclear launch system is always there? | 01:07 |
| Lowke1 | ;D | 01:07 |
| MarcN | Bidou: you have an ip address from dhcp? It should have set your dns server (see /etc/resolv.conf) | 01:07 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, so update done? | 01:07 |
| Antkin | zetheroo you said dual boot is that Windows and Linux? | 01:07 |
| amenado | RyanPrior-> and your point is? | 01:07 |
| Bidou | amenado: yeah i can go to this site web | 01:07 |
| Lowke1 | yep | 01:07 |
| Bidou | to this website* | 01:07 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: any thoughts on the matter? .... seems like linux has just vanished | 01:07 |
| RyanPrior | amenado: I can explain it to you in #ubuntu-offtopic if you'd like. :-) | 01:08 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: I said ... Windows Xp and Gutsy | 01:08 |
| amenado | Bidou-> so what is the ip address of im.apinc.org resolve to? | 01:08 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree | 01:08 |
| Bidou | MarcN: no i havn' an ip adress from dhcp | 01:08 |
| Bidou | amenado: euh sorry i dont know | 01:08 |
| Lowke1 | flashplugin-nonfree is already the newest version. | 01:08 |
| Lowke1 | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 207 not upgraded. | 01:08 |
| amenado | Bidou-> dig im.apinc.org | 01:08 |
| flats | Is there a way to copy all settings and preferences from 1 user to another? All desktop settings and icons and such? | 01:09 |
| MarcN | Bidou: so you were assigned on by a network admin or did you just pick one? If so, sounds like you need to manually set your dns servers in /etc/resolv.con | 01:09 |
| Bidou | amenado: i can connect to the website but not to the jabber server | 01:09 |
| atlef | is it possible to replace tracker with google-desktop? | 01:09 |
| Antkin | zetheroo maybe have to install gutsy again but when it comes to the format option leave the files as is | 01:09 |
| RyanPrior | atlef: Yes, it is possible. | 01:09 |
| amenado | Bidou-> so you can resolve, do you really know that their server is up and running? and available for you to connect to? | 01:09 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, sudo apt-get reinstall flashplugin-nonfree | 01:09 |
| atlef | RyanPrior: even get nautilus to use it | 01:10 |
| Lowke1 | E: Invalid operation reinstall | 01:10 |
| RyanPrior | atlef: That might be slightly trickier, but it's still possible. | 01:10 |
| Tetracomm | Hi. | 01:10 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, sudo aptitude reinstall flashplugin-nonfree | 01:10 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: what do you mean ?.... there was a lot of data on the Linux side..... won't reinstalling Gutsy wipe all that out? | 01:10 |
| Tetracomm | How do I connect to a server using the console in Ubuntu? | 01:10 |
| RyanPrior | atlef: The question is, how much hacking are you willing to do to get the level of integration you desire? | 01:10 |
| Bidou | amenado: yeah it's a public jabber server where anybody can register himself and use the service, but i cant use it i dont know why | 01:10 |
| atlef | RyanPrior: ah see, i knew that would be the answer | 01:10 |
| RyanPrior | Tetracomm: You use ssh. | 01:10 |
| MarcN | Tetracomm: do you mean via ssh? | 01:10 |
| Rug | Tetracomm: connect how? | 01:10 |
| Lowke1 | E: I wasn't able to locate file for the flashplugin-nonfree package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. | 01:10 |
| amenado | Tetracomm-> different ways, connect like telnet? http? ssh? vnc? | 01:11 |
| Tetracomm | Rug: Just connect. | 01:11 |
| Tetracomm | telnet | 01:11 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, that's wired | 01:11 |
| atlef | RyanPrior: no nautilus scripts maybe | 01:11 |
| MarcN | Tetracomm: telnet is insecure and old, use ssh instead. | 01:11 |
| amenado | Tetracomm-> is the server allowing telnet? | 01:11 |
| Lowke1 | :-S | 01:11 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, a sec | 01:11 |
| RyanPrior | atlef: Everything is that way. Ubuntu developers do work to build up levels of integration, but it isn't always easy to just swap one system out for another. | 01:11 |
| Antkin | zetheroo if you use exsisting Linux partitions then you may not lose the data | 01:11 |
| amenado | Bidou-> perhaps its off at the moment and not taking any connections temporarily? | 01:12 |
| atlef | RyanPrior: of course, i understand. | 01:12 |
| usser | !telnet | 01:12 |
| ubotu | telnet is not safe. Please use ssh instead. See !ssh | 01:12 |

| zetheroo | Antkin: is it possible that Gparted is miss-reading the partitions? | 01:14 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, sudo aptitude upgrade | 01:14 |

| RyanPrior | leal: no "standard". You can use swfdec, flash-nonfree, or Gnash. | 01:14 |
| Rug | sure | 01:14 |
| MarcN | Bidou: try telneting to the jabber server, something like telnet jabber.whatever 5555 (or whatever the jabber port is) | 01:14 |

| ubotu | Lowke1: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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) | 01:15 |
| MarcN | Lowke1: sure, if you have the bandwidth | 01:15 |
| usser | flats: ie cp /home/olduser /home/newuser | 01:15 |
| flats | usser: It's that easy? | 01:15 |
| Bidou | MarcN: ok | 01:15 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 01:15 |
| Antkin | zetheroo Gparted is good I use it myself I think you have lost data | 01:15 |
| usser | flats: why should it be hard | 01:15 |
| Bidou | MarcN: thank you | 01:15 |
| usser | flats: its not windows after all | 01:15 |
| flats | OK, works for me | 01:15 |
| flats | hehe very true | 01:15 |
| Lowke1 | Ryan, it was small enough to paste in here | 01:15 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: how could that happen?..... | 01:15 |
| Lowke1 | MarcN, thank | 01:16 |
| leal | RyanPrior: swfdec is a stand alone player or a plugin? | 01:16 |
| usser | flats: oh one more thing use cp -R | 01:16 |
| Antkin | Free4it Then please ask your question | 01:16 |
| leal | i need a standalone player to combine with xscreensaver | 01:16 |
| flats | Oh OK, thank you very much | 01:16 |
| RyanPrior | leal: It's a gstreamer plugin. | 01:16 |
| Rug | ironcladlou: Join #tmp and paste it there | 01:16 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, upgrading? | 01:16 |
| Lowke1 | yep | 01:16 |
| Free4it | are there any good screen recorders for ubuntu???????????????????????????/ | 01:16 |
| usser | flats: no problem | 01:16 |
| ironcladlou | Rug: done | 01:16 |
| leal | RyanPrior: any app to *easy* combine with xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver? | 01:17 |
| AutoMatriX | hi folks : question .... can I find the SENDER (original) 's IP from a person who dropped a mail in mu MSN-mailbox ? | 01:17 |
| RyanPrior | Free4it: Google it. There are answers there. | 01:17 |
| * lazy247x which is better ubuntu 64bit or 32bit?? | 01:17 | |
| usser | Free4it: take a look at istanbul | 01:17 |
| Antkin | zetheroo I think it could be too late to ponder on the reason why | 01:17 |
| leal | i have a swf saver and i want to use it. | 01:17 |
| usser | info istanbul | 01:17 |
| x89x | RyanPrior : does it support viaual C# ?? | 01:17 |
| RyanPrior | leal: If you need the very latest swf support, there is probably not an *easy* way. What do you expect? | 01:17 |
| leal | the player from adobe does not have any options... | 01:17 |
| Stavros | i tried to upgrade to gutsy through ssh with do-release-upgrade but it restarted networking, how do i get back to that screen? | 01:17 |
| usser | !info istanbul | 01:17 |
| ubotu | istanbul (source: istanbul): Desktop session recorder producing Ogg Theora video. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.2-1 (gutsy), package size 70 kB, installed size 608 kB | 01:17 |
| lazy247x | which is better ubuntu 64bit or 32bit?? | 01:17 |
| RyanPrior | x89x: I do not know for sure, but Mono-Develop is designed to support C# in general. | 01:17 |
| leal | RyanPrior: actually i just need a standalone player that works with swf8. the official player does, but does not have options (like fullscreen). | 01:18 |
| Lowke1 | lazy247x: they have their pros and cons | 01:18 |
| gbugmiami | not a matter of better, if you need more than 3 gigs ram and have the hardware, use 64. i have and it works. | 01:18 |
| amenado | Stavros-> what do you mean through ssh? you remotely logged in to a host to upgrade it? | 01:18 |
| RyanPrior | leal: it does have fullscreen. I've used it before with websites like YouTube. | 01:18 |
| Stavros | amenado: yes | 01:18 |
| Lowke1 | lazy247x: i would suggest 32 | 01:19 |
| lazy247x | thanks | 01:19 |
| Lowke1 | np | 01:19 |
| RyanPrior | lazy247x: It depends on your hardware, not your preferences. | 01:19 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: well why would someone continue using Linux if they can loose their entire OS and all their data without explanation.... | 01:19 |
| leal | RyanPrior: but does not have in command line mode. just in the gui. | 01:19 |
| amenado | Stavros-> ssh back in again, you will get same session you started with though..and most likely the process you were running previously has stopped, you can ps aux to check it | 01:19 |
| Stavros | amenado: i did, i get a new one :/ | 01:20 |
| gbugmiami | yes in windows, you would never lose your os. | 01:20 |
| * AutoMatriX repats his question in another way ...; some AssH... is regularily dropping me a 'bad' mail via MSN .... | 01:20 | |
| Stavros | it does say sshd: poromenos [priv] | 01:20 |
| RyanPrior | leal: dunno what to tell you. Non-free programs suck. | 01:20 |
| amenado | Stavros i meant to say you will not get the same session | 01:20 |
| Stavros | oh | 01:20 |
| hellhound | can someone help me setup my wireless card on my kubuntu machine. The card is a netgear wpn311 and the Kununtu is a fresh install of gutsy gibbon | 01:20 |
| AutoMatriX | wow can I know where it comes form ? | 01:20 |
| Stavros | how do i get to the old one? | 01:20 |
| Antkin | zetheroo I have lost tons of data to Windows crashes over the years | 01:20 |
| amenado | Stavros you can not | 01:20 |
| Stavros | :/ | 01:20 |
| amenado | Antkin-> and you have learned i hope to make backups right? | 01:21 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, if it ask u to reboot after the upgrade, do a reboot then come back | 01:21 |
| Lowke1 | ok :D | 01:21 |
| * AutoMatriX repats his question in another way ...; some AssH... is regularily dropping me a 'bad' mail via MSN .... how can I know where it comes form ? | 01:21 | |
| Rug | AutoMatriX: what does this have to do with Ubuntu? | 01:21 |
| zetheroo | Antkin: I am just saying that people have a hard time switching to Linux already ... and then to just tell them that all their data was lost for no reason whatsoever is NOT going to improve relations with Linux | 01:22 |
| Antkin | amenado I have restore it pro this can recover form a total Windows crash in lest than fifteen minutes | 01:22 |
| PinkFloyd102489 | Oh joy, other people losing data | 01:22 |

| Pyrofool | hellhound: try looking into ndiswrapper | 01:22 |
| gbugmiami | whats wrong with it hellhound? I have atheros card in my laptop i couldnt get working in gutsy. got a pmcia broadband and problem solved. I gave up. | 01:23 |
| flowOver | i used gmount-iso to mount an iso, and now it won't let me unmount the iso because it's not int he fstab and i'm not root. | 01:23 |
| Stavros | PinkFloyd102489: i did do-release-upgrade | 01:23 |
| Pyrofool | for atheros drivers look at madwfi which are in ubuntu already | 01:23 |
| PinkFloyd102489 | Stavros, and you're wanting to continue working? | 01:23 |
| Stavros | it's probably asking for some detail to continue installation but i'm not logged in that session | 01:23 |
| Stavros | yes | 01:23 |

| amenado | Antkin-> wasnt anything there missing? hehe | 01:25 |
| Tetracomm | Yes, the server accepted telnet | 01:25 |
| Pyrofool | might help, also there are many help threads on the ubuntu forums regarding ndiswrapper | 01:25 |
| amenado | Tetracomm-> then telnet away..what services does the server have that you need to get to? | 01:26 |
| Antkin | amenado maybe but you would have to check out my about me page at http://is4uk.co.uk | 01:26 |
| Tetracomm | Well, I was just trying something, i'm going to write a program, so I won't need telnet later on anyway. | 01:26 |
| amenado | Antkin its a joke.. | 01:26 |
| Tetracomm | Just testing something. | 01:26 |

| whileimhere | Hi I know this is not exactly the right channel to ask but since there are so many experts here well... I was wondering if someone downloads files with bittorrent (deluge) is there an enormous chance that the downloader will be tracked? | 01:27 |
| slugone | i just installed ubuntu and you need some libraries | 01:27 |
| Stavros | amenado: poor man :p | 01:27 |
| amenado | slugone-> autoconf, automake but if you download build-essential they maybe part of that already | 01:28 |
| Tetracomm | Does anyone in here know of any simple C++ socket libraries that enable me to use sockets without typing many lines of code? | 01:28 |
| Pyrofool | if you turn on encrypted outgoing and icoming in deluge you should not be able to be tracked | 01:28 |
| amenado | Stavros-> yes am poor, man.. | 01:28 |
| Pyrofool | but also i would use the block list importer too | 01:29 |

| Bossmanbeta | anyone aware of a way of detaching a remote X application running via 'ssh -Y' for re-attaching later? (Just like 'screen' but for X apps) There's an old-old app called 'xmove' (last updated 1997) but it's very buggy and doesn't work. VNC and NX are whole-desktop solutions and doesn't work well when I want to run local & remote apps on a unified local desktop. | 01:39 |
| flowOver | it was the bash console i used to start wine | 01:39 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | Lowke1, could take a while | 01:39 |
| PinkFloyd102489 | jeff__, install nvidia-settings and enable sync to vblank | 01:39 |

| jtravnick | can somebody please tell me just where i find the install docs?? I need to make sure i only install over fedora and not my windows partition | 02:00 |
| ArielMT | hi there. for some reason, my swap partition isn't being mounted even though it's listed in /etc/fstab. exact error is "swapon: /dev/mapper/vg-swap: Invalid argument" and ubuntu version is 7.10 | 02:00 |
| jeffMASTERflex | malocite: System/Preferences/Appearance | 02:00 |
| atlef | malocite: under apperance in the preferences menu | 02:00 |
| amenado | jtravnick-> no README file on the liveCD ? | 02:01 |
| malocite | jeffMASTERflex: Doh | 02:01 |
| Darkmystere | ks3 -rwsr-xr-x 1 root erot 30856 2007-07-06 09:40 /bin/ping | 02:01 |
| malocite | jeffMASTERflex: I thought it was called emerald.... thats what it was the last time I installed gutsy, this is a re-install :) | 02:01 |
| jtravnick | amenado, im not finding one | 02:01 |
| Darkmystere | ks3 *eroot sorry for typing so slow but im typeing what i see from my labtop that has ubuntu on it.. | 02:02 |
| jeffMASTERflex | malocite: you can install the emerald theme manager if you do not have it installed | 02:02 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, no problem. have you done any firewall setup on this box? | 02:02 |
| pingu | anyone know why my wireless is weaker in my linux partition. i have both xp and linux and cannot connect to wireless easily in linux but in xp its is smooth. am i missing something? | 02:02 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, nope | 02:02 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, although about 3 months ago i tried firestarted but then removed it. | 02:03 |
| malocite | jeffMASTERflex: does it serve any other purpose since there is already this appearance preference thing? | 02:03 |
| jeffMASTERflex | pingu: probably lower quality drivers for your wireless card | 02:03 |
| pingu | jeffMASTERflex: can i get better ones? where? | 02:03 |
| jeffMASTERflex | malocite: emerald is a different window themer. it is actually a separate program used to draw window decorations. you don't need it. you can install regular metacity themes | 02:04 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, how do i check and see if an Ip address has been set to my box? | 02:04 |
| jeffMASTERflex | pingu: no, you cannot get better ones | 02:04 |
| TheManiacKY | Is there a way I can easily share my DVDR on my Ubuntu server with my OSX mac ? Besides for making iso files and copying them between the network. Is there some service or somthing I can run that will stream the burn to the burner? | 02:04 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, ip address ls | 02:04 |
| malocite | jeffMASTERflex: cool thanks | 02:04 |
| pingu | jeffMASTERflex: are you sure? | 02:04 |
| jeffMASTERflex | pingu: it really depends on the driver. most of the time, you can't search around on google to see if anyone has already solved this issue | 02:05 |
| zero-jt | ugh, my screen resolution is messed up and it wont let me fix it | 02:05 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, yea inet 192.168.1.67/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global ath0....i can ping my routers ip too.. | 02:05 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: what is the wireless card/laptop model? | 02:05 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, it acctually gives me data... | 02:06 |
| tyguaike | hellp | 02:06 |
| tyguaike | hello | 02:06 |
| pingu | bsundsrud: laptop-acer aspire 5100, wireless card- 802.11 b/g wireless LAN | 02:06 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, so you can ping your router... how about traceroute -n 64.233.169.103 | 02:06 |
| zePh7r | hi all | 02:07 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: go to a terminal and type lspci | 02:07 |
| ader10 | Is there a way I can lower my fan speed? | 02:07 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: then look for the lines that talk about network controllers and tell me the manufacturer | 02:07 |
| pingu | bsundsrud: 06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) | 02:08 |
| bsundsrud | oh my | 02:08 |
| pingu | bsundsrud: what? | 02:08 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, traceroute to 64.233.169.103 (64.233.169.103), 30 hops max, 40byte packets *next line* send:Operation not permitted | 02:08 |
| AangFan | hi | 02:08 |
| zePh7r | I did a "make install" of a snapshot of madwifi in an attempt to put my wireless card to work. Anyway it didn't work out and now I would just like to know if there is anyway I can delete madwifi (this custom installation) | 02:09 |
| AangFan | i need some help with the keyboard | 02:09 |
| bsundsrud | broadcom is very mean about their driver specs, and there aren't any FOSS solutions that are on par with their drivers yet. some users have had luck with ndiswrapper though | 02:09 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, anything interesting show up with sudo iptables -nvL | 02:09 |
| bsundsrud | !ndiswrapper | pingu | 02:09 |
| ubotu | pingu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:09 |
| pingu | bsundsrud: what is FOSS solutions and diswrapper? | 02:10 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: the 4318 and 4311 (which i have) are the worst performers | 02:10 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, like what i really dont feel like typing all of that... | 02:10 |
| AangFan | I need desactivate num lock because my keyboard is space saving and hace the num pad integrated to other keys | 02:10 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: FOSS is Free/Open source software. Ndiswrapper is a program that takes your windows drivers for wireless cards and wraps them so linux can use them | 02:10 |
| ArielMT | hi there. for some reason, my swap partition isn't being mounted even though it's listed in /etc/fstab. exact error when running "sudo swapon -a" is "swapon: /dev/mapper/vg-swap: Invalid argument". i've tried specifying device name and device uuid, with a reboot in between. and ubuntu version is 7.10 | 02:10 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, there should be an input, output, and forward section; in a default config, each of them should be blank | 02:11 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, if they aren't blank, try running sudo iptables -F, then ping again | 02:11 |
| pingu | bsundsrud: i was just reading about some ndiswrapper stuff but it didn't sound like what i needed but maybe it is. when i was reading it i was kinda confused, it sounded fairly complicated to do | 02:11 |
| ArielMT | AangFan: when during start-up does the numlock light come on? | 02:12 |
| ader10 | Is there a way I can lower my fan speed? It's at a constant 100%, making it hard to concentrate. | 02:12 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: there are some easier methods to do ndiswrapper, i think in ubuntu there is a utility called ndiswrapper-gtk, which gives a GUI for doing the work. also, the other piece you need is the windows drivers for your wifi card | 02:13 |
| AangFan | yes, but when I tipe on GDM my name and psword I have tis efect: 4b4nt4 | 02:13 |
| dyslexicfeet | Hi I am new to ubuntu, i have an eeepc and i think i really screwd things up. Can anyone help me? | 02:13 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, im looking at wireshark too theres alot of who has 192.168.1.67? Tell 192.168.1.254 | 02:13 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: just ask your question. | 02:13 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, interesting... is .254 your router? | 02:13 |
| pingu | bsundsrud: i have the drivers for xp ( its my other partition) so that won't be hard ill have to do some looking around to figure out how the ndiswrapper works exactly. | 02:13 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, idk...:/.... | 02:14 |
| bsundsrud | pingu: ok, good luck | 02:14 |
| === pingu is now known as mwhit74 | ||
| Darkmystere | ks3, it also has a 192.168.1.78 | 02:14 |
| dyslexicfeet | i installed Ubuntu and could not figure out how to tweek it so that my eeepc would work. i founda tweeked version of xubuntu on the web and installed that and now its reading both versions. i only want the xubuntu | 02:14 |
| ArielMT | 192.168.1.254 sounds like the default address of an older 2Wire DSL modem, like mine | 02:14 |
| Darkmystere | ArielMT, its a 2wire | 02:15 |
| mwhit74 | bsundsrud: pingu here, just changed my name, thanks for the advice | 02:15 |
| ArielMT | Darkmystere: 1800HG? That's the exact model I have. Looks like it got squashed in the middle before it left the factory. | 02:15 |
| Darkmystere | ArielMT, :D | 02:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: what do you mean its reading both versions? | 02:16 |
| ArielMT | Darkmystere: then wireshark is telling you something nice to know. 192.168.1.254 is your modem's address | 02:16 |
| Darkmystere | ArielMT,ks3, well it looks like some packages ARP Sources are AskeyCom_89:1b:9b | 02:16 |
| dyslexicfeet | when i start it up it makes me choose which i want to run... so i have | 02:17 |
| dyslexicfeet | ... | 02:17 |
| AangFan | bsundsrud yes, but when I tipe on GDM my name and psword I have tis efect: 4b4nt4 | 02:17 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: did you remove the partition that had the old version of linux? | 02:17 |
| Darkmystere | ArielMT,ks3, i tried pinging that ip it says operation not permitted.. | 02:17 |
| DJSBX | hello | 02:18 |
| DJSBX | Is anybody here? | 02:18 |
| blaster | hello | 02:18 |
| blaster | i have a question | 02:18 |
| wasabi_ | hey is a there a terminal application launcher? a text base program that shows you what programs you have and organizes it by category? | 02:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | DJSBX: no, all 1200 of us are asleep | 02:18 |
| ArielMT | i wish :) | 02:18 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, can you ping localhost? | 02:18 |
| Darkmystere | ArielMT,ks3, Also that ASKeyCom ARp is the only one without FF:FF:FF:FF:FF in it | 02:19 |
| DJSBX | sorry <_<, didnt see how many people were on here. | 02:19 |

| blaster | has anyone else had mouse problems with 3d fps games, more specifically, the logitech g5 | 02:19 |
| moparisthebest | I just installed xubuntu-desktop and want to remove ubuntu-desktop, how would I do that? | 02:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: it looks like you have two different installs of hte same version of ubuntu | 02:19 |
| DJSBX | I downloaded and burnt Ubuntu Server 7.1, I tried to install it, but once it got to "Installing Base System" and it got to about 83% it just stopped for like 30 min, and nothing happened. | 02:20 |
| moparisthebest | aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop doesn't remove any packages either :/ | 02:20 |
| Zayne | Good evening! Is there anyone here who could help me with figuring out how to get a video card installed properly? | 02:20 |
| dyslexicfeet | indyguyfreak:can i delete the one i dont want? | 02:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | moparisthebest: i think its gnome, or maybe gnome-desktop | 02:21 |
| moparisthebest | Zayne, what kind of video card? | 02:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: yes, but you'll still need to reclaim the space by formatting the partition | 02:21 |
| dyslexicfeet | i dont know what that means...i am in WAY over my head | 02:21 |
| moparisthebest | there is a package called ubuntu-desktop, but removing it doesn't remove any dependant packages :( | 02:21 |
| Zayne | moparisthebest, it's an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. | 02:21 |
| IndyGunFreak | moparisthebest: i know.. i think its gnome-desktop maybe | 02:21 |
| dyslexicfeet | indygunfreak: I have also lost the ability to restore the factory settings that the eeepc came with | 02:22 |
| moparisthebest | Zayne, I've had excellent luck with this: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 02:22 |
| zero-jt | crap >< my resolution is complete messed up and its not letting me change it back, something about x server not being able to support XRandR extension but like an hour ago i was able to change my resolution on the fly, help | 02:22 |
| blaster | aanyone? | 02:22 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: well, no telling what yhou've done | 02:23 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: if you have a question, ask it. | 02:23 |
| Zayne | moparisthebest, thank you I will try that. i'll check back later if there's no results. take care~ | 02:23 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, wow... so it can't even ping itself... can you ping the ubuntu box from the machine you're on? | 02:23 |
| jimmygoon | !scanner | 02:23 |
| ubotu | Scanning software: XSane, the GIMP (GNOME), Kooka (KDE). For instructions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo and to see supported hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners - See also !OCR | 02:23 |
| dyslexicfeet | indygunfreak: is there anyway to reset the whole thing and start again? | 02:23 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, err what would i ping.. | 02:23 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | err... wouldn't #eeepc be a better place to ask? | 02:23 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: my logitech g5 does not work at all, with any 3d game aplication, is this a known problem? | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: i reallky don't know, i'm not that famiiliar w/ the eeepc.. maybe just try doing a clean install. | 02:24 |
| DJSBX | I downloaded and burnt Ubuntu Server 7.1, I tried to install it, but once it got to "Installing Base | 02:24 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: i have no idea... don't even know what a logitech g5 is | 02:24 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, whichever ip showed up in ip address ls... i think it was .67? | 02:24 |
| DJSBX | +System" and it got to about 83% it just stopped for like 30 min | 02:24 |
| dyslexicfeet | indygunfreak:can i run a clean install through what i currently have on my system? | 02:24 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: logitech g5 is a usb mouse | 02:24 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, Request Timed out. | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: yes, when it comes time to install, tell it to "take over" the entire hard drive. | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: but you will lose everything, and have a completely new install. | 02:25 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, okay, so nothing in or out | 02:25 |
| ArielMT | for some reason, my swap partition isn't being mounted even though it's listed in /etc/fstab. exact error when running "sudo swapon -a" is "swapon: /dev/mapper/vg-swap: Invalid argument". i've tried specifying device name and device uuid, with a reboot in between. google didn't help. ubuntu version is 7.10 | 02:25 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, did we run sudo iptables -F already? | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: the mouse doesn'tt work at all, or just extra buttons, etc, dont work? | 02:25 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a program that lets you create DVDs with menus and so on? | 02:25 |
| dyslexicfeet | indygunfreak: i dont have any files on there yet so maybe it will work | 02:25 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, yeP | 02:25 |
| IndyGunFreak | dyslexicfeet: i would hope so. | 02:26 |
| blaster | IndyGunFrak: it doesn't work at all, with 7.a0, it works perfect with 6.10 perfectly | 02:26 |
| blaster | 7.10 | 02:26 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, ive ben tryinng to get internet for 5 days now.. | 02:26 |

| Flannel | ArielMT: You're on LVM, right? | 02:27 |
| ArielMT | Flannel: yes | 02:27 |
| DJSBX | anybody? | 02:27 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: thats kinda weird, is it hooked up to a USB port, or do you have it going to a PS2 port w/ an adapter? | 02:27 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: and what are your volume group and logical volume names for your swap partition? | 02:27 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: i have it in the USB port | 02:27 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, what happens if you run sudo ping localhost? | 02:27 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: Or more importantly, whats listed in /dev/mapper for it? | 02:28 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, Operation not permitted.. | 02:28 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: maybe shutdown, and try putting it in the PS2 port w/ an adapter?.. | 02:28 |
| ArielMT | Flannel: iirc, vg and swap respectively. it's mapped to /dev/mapper/vg-swap | 02:28 |
| aleka | I am trying to draw a simple diagram in a word document I have been working on. I have the oo.o-draw package, but can not see it in my menu picks... How do I draw basic shapes in this document? | 02:28 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: I have tried that as well | 02:28 |
| blaster | same result | 02:29 |
| jimmygoon | xsane sucks | 02:29 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: then sorry, i have no logical suggestion | 02:29 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: no worries, I thank you for your time, I am going to reinstal 6.10 | 02:29 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | aleka: select "draw" in the word processor. | 02:29 |
| ks3 | Darkmystere, it seems like a firewall issue, but iptables -F should flush all the iptables rules... | 02:29 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: Odd. It shouldn't give you an error. What does `sudo swapon /dev/mapper/vg-swap` do? | 02:30 |
| ssmith | Newb looking for help on how to install source files. Can someone help? | 02:30 |
| Flannel | ssmith: What are you looking to install? | 02:30 |
| Odd-rationale | !compile | ssmith | 02:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: not erally sure thats the answer | 02:30 |
| ubotu | ssmith: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 02:30 |
| ssmith | last-exit | 02:30 |
| aleka | Daisuke_Laptop: under what menu pick? | 02:30 |
| ArielMT | arielmt@cleos-cat:~$ sudo swapon /dev/mapper/vg-swap | 02:30 |
| ArielMT | swapon: /dev/mapper/vg-swap: Invalid argument | 02:30 |
| Flannel | ssmith: last-exit is in the repositories | 02:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: are you stil there? | 02:31 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: the same mouse works perfect, in 6.10. I just wanted to try out 7.10 | 02:31 |
| ssmith | ubuntu last exit package hangs at startup of program | 02:31 |
| blaster | yes im here | 02:31 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | aleka: it's the button that looks like a pencil drawing a square, when you hover, it gives the tooltip "Show Draw Functions" | 02:31 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: try googling, "Logitech G5 Ubuntu 7.10", i got several hits, this suggests this si not an isolated problem | 02:31 |
| aleka | Daisuke_Laptop: Thanks!! | 02:32 |
| ssmith | should I unistall and reinstall last-exit from repositories? | 02:32 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: dohhhh, now i feel like an idiot. LOL I didn't even think to google it. ROFL | 02:32 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: it happens | 02:32 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | aleka: you're welcome | 02:32 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, soz internet./. | 02:33 |
| icesword | IndyGunFreak, i am running 7.10 in 100 m ram,it is using 33% of swap now,lol | 02:33 |
| IndyGunFreak | lol | 02:34 |
| ArielMT | what i'd give to have any swap usage about now | 02:34 |
| IndyGunFreak | icesword: didn't we suggest flux to you?..lol | 02:34 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: And that partition is correctly created as a swap partition? | 02:34 |
| ArielMT | Flannel: was when i set it up, aye | 02:34 |
| Rippedca | I setup my mother in law up with a pc running ubuntu, She does not have a lot of computer experience but seems to be enjoying Ubuntu. She wants to start using IM. What IM service provider should she sign up with? | 02:34 |
| brunner | which wireless chipset should I get? Atheros AR5006EX, Intel WM3945AG, or Intel 4965AGN? | 02:35 |
| icesword | IndyGunFreak, can you give me screenshot of fluxbox under ubuntu,i just want it easy! | 02:35 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: Double check, sudo lvdisplay | less | 02:35 |
| peepsalot | why are info pages the same as man pages? is this an ubuntu idiosyncracy? | 02:35 |
| Odd-rationale | Rippedca: Why not google talk? | 02:35 |
| Rippedca | Her family are using macs | 02:35 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: er, I suppose that actually doesn't give you the partition type | 02:35 |
| Darkmystere | ks3,what did you say before i dced? Firefox Crashed again.. | 02:35 |
| IndyGunFreak | icesword: fluxbuntu.org has screenshots | 02:35 |
| Rippedca | thanks I will check out google talk | 02:36 |
| Starnestommy | peepsalot: the info files often are a lot more in-depth than the man files for some things, like emacs or bash | 02:36 |
| icesword | IndyGunFreak, ok,but now ctrl+alt+f1 don't get me console,now,is it because i disabled hotkey-set 、 | 02:36 |
| Flannel | ArielMT: sudo mkswap /dev/mapper/vg-swap | 02:36 |
| icesword | ？ | 02:36 |
| ArielMT | Flannel: nope, but it showed that everything's right, except of course that # open is 0 | 02:36 |
| IndyGunFreak | icesword: most likely | 02:37 |
| mwhit74 | anyone know anything about ndiswrapper for ubuntu. im considering it as an option to make my wireless card work better | 02:37 |
| icesword | IndyGunFreak, you said most likely,what is other possiblity? | 02:37 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: wow, allot of editing for a mouse, I am going to go back to 6.10, not worth anymore headache. I have been fighting it two days. :-) | 02:38 |
| ArielMT | Flannel: yup, since it's out-of-commission swap, no harm formatting it even on a live system. afk, reading manpage and doing that | 02:38 |
| jimmygoon | How is ubuntu support for NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M | 02:38 |
| peepsalot | Starnestommy, but they aren't more in depth, i see the EXACT same text that is in the man pages | 02:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: seems strange it works under Edgy, but not Gutsy. | 02:38 |
| xyblor | what does it mean when ssh just hangs when you run it? | 02:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | jimmygoon: as a general rule, Ubuntu/Linux support for Nvidia is solid. | 02:38 |
| peepsalot | Starnestommy, including the part at the bottom that says to go look at the info pages for more information | 02:38 |
| AangFan | ArielMT yes, but when I tipe on GDM my name and psword I have tis efect: 4b4nt4 | 02:38 |
| IndyGunFreak | unless its avery new card | 02:38 |
| Starnestommy | peepsalot: the output of info emacs looks different than man emacs for me, but not for something else like mv | 02:39 |
| jimmygoon | IndyGunFreak, really? I thought ATI support was better? NVIDIA is kinda the last guy holding out with the closed-ness? | 02:39 |
| Leetbumble | jimmy, no idea but i do use an Nvidia 8800gts and their little installer edited my xconfig just fine and i use dual screen with no probs | 02:39 |
| ArielMT | AangFan: so numlock comes on during boot-up? | 02:39 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: I hear ya there, doesn't make any sense to me either. I wasnt unhappy with 6.10 at all, just wanted to try 7.10 | 02:39 |
| jimmygoon | Leetbumble, thats good to hear | 02:39 |
| AangFan | ArielMT yes! | 02:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: maybe install 6.10, upgrade to 7.04, then upgrade to 7.10 | 02:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | jimmygoon: well, until ATI actually gets stuff releeased for their cards, Nvidia, although its a closed driver, its a well written driver | 02:40 |
| Darkmystere | ks3, You here?? | 02:40 |
| iRRVi | i need a cross platform (windows, mac, linux) cluster computing software, preferably opensource and free | 02:40 |
| icesword | use that alternate cd to upgrade | 02:40 |
| jimmygoon | IndyGunFreak, alrighty. thanks | 02:40 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | 6.10 is about to EOL in april, though | 02:40 |
| IndyGunFreak | jimmygoon: but as a general rule, Nvidia is almost always easier(obviously very new stuff is different, but thast old enough you should be fine) | 02:40 |
| blaster | IndyGunFreak: possible that would work, but again, i liked 6.10, so no need to fix what isn't broke. :-) | 02:40 |
| peepsalot | Starnestommy, well i'd rather not install emacs just to find out. but do why would any command say at the bottom to refer to the info pages, if they were the exact same as the man pages. I think there is something not conifugred correctly here | 02:41 |
| blaster | take care peeps, :-) | 02:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | blaster: true, other than it will be obsolete here soon | 02:41 |
| RyanPrior | Is there a program that lets you create DVDs with menus and so on? | 02:41 |
| Leetbumble | iRRVi - im using knopixcluster for a project at university. boots in memory which is always fun. and it went up pretty easy. | 02:41 |
| flowOver | ati is opensourcing even the chip blueprints | 02:41 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | RyanPrior: search synaptic for "dvd" | 02:41 |
| flowOver | /amd | 02:41 |
| ArielMT | AangFan: sounds like you need to turn it off in the bios, then. depending on your bios type, the access key is either f2, f10, or del. reboot and mash that key as if it were a joystick's fire button. that'll take you into the bios, where you can tell it to boot with numlock off. if you see the ubuntu logo instead of the bios screen, it was either the wrong key or too late: reboot and try again. | 02:42 |
| AangFan | ArielMT ok, now.. rebooting | 02:43 |
| iRRVi | Leetbumble: thanks i'll check it out | 02:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | flowOver: yes they are, bu thtey haven't yet, so until they do, Nvidia still kills ATI w/ linux for ease of setup | 02:44 |
| RyanPrior | Daisuke_Laptop: Thanks for the suggestion. However, I had already done that, and I don't see anything that does what I want -- that is, linking video clips together using scriptable menus. | 02:44 |

| Frederick | folks which is the command line to reconfigure nvidia packages in ubuntu? | 02:45 |
| juice_ | Daisuke_Laptop: top linux download on mininova.com, just wondering..? | 02:45 |
| __mikem | Frederick, dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx | 02:45 |
| Frederick | __mikem: did not work I think I lack some package | 02:46 |
| __mikem | Frederick, then do apt-get install nvidia-glx | 02:46 |

| regeya | o_O | 02:46 |
| Frederick | __mikem: done, do I need nvidia-kernell too? | 02:46 |
| regeya | by 'reformat' you mean... | 02:46 |
| __mikem | Frederick, I never did | 02:46 |
| juice_ | Daisuke_Laptop: ppssh. i was just asking what it is? | 02:46 |

| Frederick | oki brb | 02:47 |
| smartface | regeya, basically reset the system | 02:47 |
| LimCore | is this a new trend? | 02:47 |

| smartface | yes regeya | 02:47 |
| smartface | restore all the original installation files | 02:48 |
| RyanPrior | juice_: planeshift is a free software MMORPG, and downloading it off mininova is not piracy! :-) | 02:48 |
| * morphiend cries for help while pulling out his hair | 02:48 | |
| Daisuke_Laptop | oh ho! LimCore, that is interesting... i hope it's a trend :) | 02:48 |
| morphiend | Anyone have any ideas as to why my mouse would be acting like its on crack? | 02:48 |
| juice_ | RyanPrior: thanks | 02:48 |
| LimCore | Daisuke_Laptop: that site probably is legit, as it is linked there from a popular comic side (still, be carefull ;) | 02:48 |
| RyanPrior | juice_: http://www.planeshift.it | 02:48 |
| * LimCore should use apparmored | 02:48 | |
| smartface | Actually, I should try to fix my problem | 02:49 |
| smartface | I've got apache2 working | 02:49 |
| smartface | but php5 doesnt | 02:49 |
| flowOver | which fonts in linux are good substitutes for Verdana, Arial, Helvetica | 02:49 |
| regeya | smartface: let's say 'no' | 02:49 |
| AangFan | ArielMT a lot of thanks, the Bug Intruse what Obstruce System config works | 02:49 |
| morphiend | In other words, if I single left click, more times than not its detected as a double click, and if I perform actions like dragging, if I move the mouse too fast the action is moved to the next window the cursor "hits" | 02:49 |
| smartface | When I access php files on my server, it just asks me if I want to save them | 02:49 |
| smartface | yet I've installed php5 | 02:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | LimCore: i was never a fan of puzzle pirates, i tried it once on windows... but yes, that casual games are being released for linux is a major... gesture of goodwill? that's close enough... to "average" users | 02:50 |
| GNUtoo | hello,is there anyone that knows well the kernel? | 02:50 |
| regeya | ok, so the real problem is php5, not that you've had your remote system compromised with no way to drive to teh thing, or anything like that. | 02:50 |
| morphiend | GNUtoo: what parts of it? | 02:50 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, don't know...i'm looking for the device 25...i don't know what is it... | 02:51 |
| ArielMT | AangFan: you're welcome... as opposed to we2c90e ;) | 02:51 |
| macogw | smartface: your server is misconfigured | 02:51 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, cause i'd like to make acpi work | 02:51 |
| macogw | flowOver: Liberation Sans | 02:51 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, s/acpi/suspend to ram | 02:51 |
| macogw | flowOver: but you can get at least Arial from the msttcorefonts package | 02:51 |
| smartface | macogw, how does one fix this | 02:51 |
| LimCore | Daisuke_Laptop: probably good will, since linux users are like 3% desktop | 02:51 |
| macogw | smartface: dont know. i fixed it once and then forgot. | 02:51 |
| LimCore | and most do not like to buy, esp closed source | 02:52 |
| macogw | smartface: google told me how. | 02:52 |
| morphiend | looking for device 25, how? you mean that its listed in your /dev fs? | 02:52 |
| flowOver | i'm more wondering for web design purposes. people with default ubuntu installs | 02:52 |
| smartface | Would re-installing ubuntu in LAMP mode make it all work? | 02:52 |
| morphiend | if you cat /proc/devices it will correlate the number to the device (driver) | 02:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | LimCore: simple games like that could draw more "everyday" users over (the web, email, im, casual game group), so it's a good thing (to me, at least) | 02:53 |
| benny269 | how can i update octave to the latest version? | 02:53 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, no my dmesg gives me that: hash matches device device:25 and /proc/device doesn't list it | 02:53 |
| RyanPrior | benny269: Do you mean that you want a version newer than the one in the repositories? | 02:54 |
| GNUtoo | GNUtoo, cat /proc/device | grep 25 gives numbers such as 251 | 02:54 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | when popcap starts releasing linux versions of its games, watch out :) | 02:55 |
| flowOver | wow changing everything to alsa mixer from the nvidia drivers for the nforce4 really destroyed all the crashy bug problems i was continueing to have | 02:55 |
| smartface | Can someone indicate to me how I can completely uninstall Apache, PHP, and mysql in order to reinstall them late | 02:55 |
| smartface | r | 02:55 |
| smartface | including settings | 02:55 |
| benny269 | RyanPrior: well I installed the standard version from synaptic but i think the latest version is 3.0 and is much newer with more functions? | 02:55 |
| RyanPrior | benny269: The version in Hardy Heron is release 3.0.0, so you can always upgrade to Hardy. =D | 02:56 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | and RyanPrior, juice_: my apologies about the jumping to conclusions re: piracy. my first thought was planeshift = planescape and oops :\ | 02:56 |
| morphiend | GNUtoo: paste the output from your dmesg that you're referring to | 02:56 |
| RyanPrior | benny269: Otherwise, you can compile the latest Octave from source. | 02:56 |
| IndyGunFreak | RyanPrior: that is freakin awful advice | 02:56 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | check backports. | 02:57 |
| IndyGunFreak | benny269: what are you trying t upgrade? | 02:57 |
| crusader_ | hello can someone please help me with LTSP installation? | 02:57 |
| benny269 | RyanPrior: can you explain how to do that please? | 02:57 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, hash matches device device:25 | 02:57 |
| benny269 | IndyGunFreak: octave, its a mathematical programming environment | 02:57 |
| Jack_Sparrow | benny269, Be careful what you wish for. Bleeding edge... can hurt.. HAve a good backup if you go outside the repos | 02:57 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, and also PM: Adding info for acpi:device:25 | 02:58 |
| Frederick | folks I have issues with nvidia drivers I have no video output at all when starting x | 02:58 |
| RyanPrior | benny269: The best way is to wait until Hardy is released. Do you need the latest version immediately, or can you wait a couple months? | 02:58 |
| IndyGunFreak | benny269: whatever ti is, what he suggested was absolutely foolish.. and like Jack_Sparrow just said, be careful.. because sometimes newer isn't always better.. at least what is in the repos, is stable. | 02:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | what's changed between 2.9.12 and 3.0.0? | 02:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | because if it's not that much, you're really better off hanging back | 02:58 |
| benny269 | ok, is there a gnu frontend? alternative to kde's koctave? | 02:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Frederick, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg set vesa as your card and 1024 max res to get basic gui functioning | 02:59 |

| Darkmystere | Can some one Help me im still having problems with intetnet in my ubuntu 7.10 install with Atheros AR5006EG a/b Wireless card | 03:00 |
| LimCore | smartface: payable or free ;) and what is the question | 03:00 |
| Starnestommy | smartface: #apache for apache, #mysql for mysql, or ##php for php | 03:00 |
| smartface | LimCore: free is better :D I can't get php to work with my apache server | 03:00 |
| smartface | thanks Starnestommy | 03:01 |
| Frederick | Jack_Sparrow: I brb I will try it out | 03:01 |
| morphiend | GNUtoo : sorry, acpi is outside of my realm of knowledge in the kernel | 03:02 |
| RyanPrior | benny269: I don't know of any graphical front-end other than koctave. | 03:02 |
| LimCore | smartface: simple setting of LAMP is just apt-get install of like apache2 php5 apache2-mod-php5 or something php5-mysql mysql | 03:02 |
| GNUtoo | morphiend, ok thanks and bye | 03:02 |

| iobelisk | hi, i changed my computer name (system-admin-network) and rebooted and everything was okay, except i could not load a few kde apps (i use gnome), i got a keyboard numlock error from time to time and while burning a cd i got a nautilus error (though the cd burnt fine). i ran "locate old_host_name" on the terminal and found a few directories still reflected the old host name. anyway, i reverted back to the old host name and everything is | 03:03 |
| iobelisk | fine. most errors i got with the new host name were benign, but was just wondering if anybody had an idea how to get around them? | 03:03 |

| chowder | can anyone help me get GRUB to load another OS? I'm trying to dualboot FreeBSD with Ubuntu | 04:08 |
| efren20 | what do you mean by that? | 04:08 |
| mjw- | malocite look at your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and look for the "Device" section and look for the line that says Driver "..." | 04:09 |
| malocite | mjw-: mine says ati | 04:09 |
| efren20 | i search this in package source gspca-source | 04:09 |
| efren20 | ? | 04:09 |
| malocite | mjw-: Driver "ati" | 04:09 |
| mjw- | malocite you can try changing it to radeon - that may help. | 04:09 |
| credible | malocite: what does this command return?: glxinfo|grep vendor | 04:09 |
| AutoMatriX | efren20, open your packet manager, and in the sources you should enable te universe sources ... | 04:09 |
| credible | malocite: I'm only interested in if it says "ATI" or not | 04:10 |
| malocite | server glx vendor string: SGI | 04:10 |
| malocite | client glx vendor string: ATI | 04:10 |
| malocite | OpenGL vendor string: Tungsten Graphics, Inc. | 04:10 |
| credible | malocite: you installed fglrx, which broke your driver | 04:10 |
| efren20 | k | 04:10 |
| credible | malocite: sudo apt-get --purge remove xorg-driver-fglrx | 04:10 |
| Genocidicbunny | well then, somehow, GRUB started loading, but now I have another error. Whenever I select any OS it tells me that the selected disk does not exist | 04:11 |
| malocite | credible: done, do I just restart x and see what happens? | 04:11 |
| efren20 | also im using gtkpod for syncing my ipod and i sync it when i eject no songs there what should i do | 04:11 |
| credible | malocite: nope, should work now :) | 04:11 |
| AutoMatriX | efren20, one proble at the time, please | 04:11 |
| jessid | !amule | 04:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about amule - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:12 |
| AutoMatriX | efren20, did you enable those universe packages ? | 04:12 |
| efren20 | ok can you help me when we finish the one about the camera? | 04:12 |
| efren20 | the sudo installation not done yet | 04:12 |
| malocite | credible: HEEY!!! now the desktop effects work again :) Thanks, I felt like I was taking crazy pills | 04:12 |
| efren20 | can i open it anyways? | 04:12 |
| jessid | hello. I dont have any firewall installed in my ubuntu 7.04 and when i try to connect with amule, i receive a low id...how can i fix that??? thanks a lot! | 04:13 |
| mjw- | malocite fglrx is evil. it breaks the open source ati/radeon drivers ;) | 04:13 |
| uw_hy | I put an HD in but my Ubuntuu is not recognizing it. How can I mount it? thx | 04:13 |
| RyanPrior | My VLC Media Player is playing video but not sound. Why is that? | 04:13 |
| malocite | mjw-: And actually I believe its incompatible with the radeon 9000 period :) | 04:14 |
| triorieel | on packages.ubuntu.com there are some updates xine librarys I need. how do I get them through synaptic? | 04:14 |
| mjw- | malocite that's true, plus having it installed keeps the open source drivers from actually functioning correctly, which was likely your issue | 04:14 |
| LiraNuna | I'm trying to set an SVN server, I was following this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-subversion-with-web-access-on-ubuntu/ because I was lazy; I got everything setted up, and I get a "Forbidden" error; my repos folder (/var/lib/svn) is owned by www-data:www-data | 04:14 |
| malocite | mjw-: Now that that is done, should I install xorg-server-xgl? | 04:14 |
| mjw- | malocite no, that's not needed and will also tend to break things | 04:15 |
| macogw | malocite: not if youre using the open drivers | 04:15 |
| helloKitty | the internet stops working 3-5 minutes after i boot. the tray icon says im still connected to the network, but the internet does not work. ping <somesite.com> will not work also | 04:15 |
| macogw | malocite: those are only for fglrx because it lacks AIGLX support. the open source ones have it | 04:15 |
| malocite | mjw: k, got it... | 04:15 |
| macogw | helloKitty: have you tried disabling ipv6? | 04:15 |
| helloKitty | macogw: how? | 04:16 |
| macogw | helloKitty: gksu gedit /etc/hosts | 04:16 |
| macogw | helloKitty: comment out (put a # at the start of the line) all the lines about ipv6 | 04:16 |

| sdlfes | got a grep question, but i think i'm misunderstanding the -o optoin. i use cat to print out logs, but i want to rip any urls out of them, -o http rips out, and prints _only_ the word http. how would i go about this? | 04:23 |
| AutoMatriX | efren20, did you read the info I wrote into your provate dialog ? | 04:25 |
| sdlfes | ubuntu logs all their chats, and occassionally someone or a bot prints a url, and instead of reading thru ALOT of lines, just rip out the url. but grep may not be the answer? | 04:25 |
| samsul | join | 04:25 |
| macogw | sdlfes: look for something that tells grep to treat symbols and numbers as part of a word | 04:26 |
| macogw | sdlfes: should be an option, i think... | 04:26 |
| storm-zen | sdlfes: Try #regex. | 04:26 |
| macogw | sdlfes: oh or you could try "http.* " maybe? | 04:27 |
| efren20 | yes | 04:27 |
| prince_jammys | grep -Eo 'http[^[:space:]]*' is a cheap way | 04:27 |

| camden | specifically with microsoft activiation | 04:28 |
| camden | i called them and they say my code is invalid | 04:28 |
| camden | and i have to call dell | 04:28 |
| camden | now i'm worried i'll get in troube | 04:28 |
| camden | trouble | 04:29 |
| storm-zen | There's a #vmware chat... but what's the problem? Hmm. Ok. Then it's not a VMware problem. | 04:29 |
| camden | if i call dell | 04:29 |
| camden | should i? | 04:29 |
| camden | anybody have experience with this? | 04:29 |
| camden | it's a bit complicated because i have 2 computers | 04:29 |
| storm-zen | A little, camden. Dell might provide replacement disks. ( might. ) | 04:29 |
| camden | both have a legal xp license and a sticker | 04:29 |
| camden | so i'm not doing anything wrong | 04:29 |
| camden | but what i did was use the cd from 1 computer in another computer | 04:30 |
| prettyricky | macogw-------> how can I start it or where do I go to start that program? | 04:30 |
| storm-zen | If you bought them both from Dell, they might cover you. | 04:30 |
| camden | so maybe that's causing the problme | 04:30 |
| phoenix5002 | Constantine, is this what you mean? http://www.howtoforge.com/compiz-fusion-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon-nvidia-geforce-fx-5200 | 04:30 |
| storm-zen | camden, I've done that. Yes. That causes a problem. | 04:30 |
| camden | well both are from dell | 04:30 |
| smartface | constantine: right click, then all the way to the right on the top bar | 04:30 |
| macogw | prettyricky: just hit alt+f2 to get a runbox and type it in | 04:30 |
| camden | but i bought 1 second hand | 04:30 |
| macogw | prettyricky: it shouldve started at startup though | 04:30 |
| smartface | constantine right click then desktop ppties | 04:30 |
| camden | ok so i need to get the cd for the 2nd one? | 04:30 |
| storm-zen | camden: Then that could get messy. | 04:30 |
| camden | i don't have it | 04:30 |
| prettyricky | ok thank you | 04:31 |
| Belboz99 | does Ubuntu have an equivelant of /etc/init.d/functions, a library that holds common init script functions, list start, stop, restart, etc? | 04:31 |

| phoenix5002 | probably video card though | 04:44 |
| nickrud | tripppy: ok, next: alt-f2 nm-applet --sm-disable | 04:45 |

| Flannel | Agent_bob: two reasons, root account has no password (is locked), second, root is disabled form logging in via SSH usually | 04:47 |

| LiraNuna | there isn't such a thing efren20 | 04:47 |
| phoenix5002 | my restricted driver is "atheros hardware access layer (HAL)" | 04:47 |
| nickrud | phoenix5002: try disabling it, and logging out and back in. Then try suspend. | 04:48 |
| LiraNuna | midi is pattern based, mp3 is based on raw data | 04:48 |
| efren20 | notmeever69: nop | 04:48 |
| phoenix5002 | but will that put me in vesa mode? | 04:48 |

| LiraNuna | Flannel, what!? You can't simply convert MP3 to midi, you got to be kidding | 04:49 |
| Flannel | Agent_bob: The root account is locked by default (as no password). And then view in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and look at... well, near the top. PermitRootLogin, it's no by default on dapper anyway | 04:49 |
| LiraNuna | MP3 is raw buffer compressed lossly, midi is a sequence of operation to create the music with HW instruments | 04:49 |

| efren20 | liranuna:how do i get my computer to find my usb device easy pc camera | 04:49 |
| david_ | u know how u can make the panel transparent could u do that for the gtk theme where theres no solid color but transparency | 04:49 |
| Flannel | LiraNuna: like I said, it's not a simple codec issue (can't decode to audio and reencode straight) but its definately possible. | 04:49 |
| notmeever69 | hang jode | 04:49 |
| LiraNuna | Flannel, oh, that's what I told him | 04:50 |
| Flannel | Agent_bob: You never said that, now did you? | 04:50 |
| notmeever69 | midi is a 30 year old language | 04:50 |
| phoenix5002 | if it works is there a way to do what notmeever69 said, and switch to that mode on suspend and then switch back to the restricted driver on resume? | 04:50 |
| Shpook | I need to search the contents of all files in a specified directory. They're all text files, but with different extensions(it's actually a website). What would be the best utility for this? I need to be able to specifiy which extensions to search also. | 04:50 |
| nickrud | Shpook: grep | 04:50 |
| powda | Quick question - Is it apt-get that creates files in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/<package> when installing something? | 04:50 |
| iter | Shpook: grep <search term> * | 04:50 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel yeah. but it's not important. i've said it again. | 04:50 |
| nickrud | powda: yes | 04:51 |
| Flannel | powda: Well, it's dpkg, but yes | 04:51 |
| Shpook | nickrud: Thanks, sounds good. :-) | 04:51 |
| powda | Can I force those files to get created again somehow? | 04:51 |
| powda | I removed them manually and now reinstalling won't create them. | 04:51 |
| Shpook | iter: Thank you. Sounds easy enough, but I'm going to google it to learn all the parameters. | 04:51 |
| ste-foy | Thank you for your help powda | 04:51 |
| Shpook | Thanks! | 04:51 |
| iter | :) | 04:51 |
| Flannel | powda: You need to --purge them when removing, "removal" doesn't remove configuration files. Also, --reinstall ought to refresh them as well (although I've never done the latter personally) | 04:52 |
| efren20 | anyone know how can i get my computer to reconize my usb easy pc camera | 04:52 |
| nickrud | powda: sudo apt-get install --reinstall -o Dpkg::Option:="--force-confmis" <package> iirc | 04:52 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel tripple checked PermitRootLogin yes | 04:52 |
| jodde | Would somebody please PM me if they think they can help with my key mapping problem?? | 04:52 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel restarted sshd each time | 04:52 |
| powda | Thanks, I'll try that. | 04:52 |
| Flannel | Agent_bob: And you do have a root password? | 04:52 |
| nickrud | powda: that's confmiss , I missed an s | 04:52 |
| Shpook | Oooh, and it supports regular expressions. Just the kind of muscle I need. :-D | 04:52 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel passwd root and passwd -u root several times. | 04:52 |
| === ghost is now known as noodles12 | ||
| Agent_bob | Flannel if it was that simple i wouldn't have asked. | 04:53 |
| CarlFK | LiraNuna: midi is still what is used to work with stuff like keyboard/syssithers, right? | 04:53 |
| iter | Agent_bob: can you su to root account? | 04:53 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel also i can login with other account | 04:53 |
| Flannel | Agent_bob: This channel assumes you don't have a root password set, so your question didn't seem odd in the first place (we get that sort of nescience all the time) | 04:53 |
| LiraNuna | midi is nothing but a sequence of notes and instruments that tells the sound card what to play | 04:54 |
| LiraNuna | the player simply tells the HW what to do | 04:54 |
| Agent_bob | iter no. system is nosuid so su/sudo is imposable | 04:54 |
| LiraNuna | off course some software players available who emulate midi devices | 04:54 |

| efren20 | liranuna:thanks and do you know how i can get my computer to recongnize my usb easy pc camera? | 04:54 |
| LiraNuna | cloud210, just cd to the linux folder and use alien it's not that hard | 04:54 |
| LiraNuna | efren20, did you try google? | 04:55 |
| iter | Agent_bob: also check /etc/security/access.conf | 04:55 |
| Agent_bob | iter root:x:0:0:root:/ | 04:55 |
| efren20 | nop | 04:55 |
| iter | Agent_bob: seems wrong | 04:55 |
| Agent_bob | iter k looking in access.conf | 04:55 |
| cloud210 | LiraNuna, thats what i did. using the "for i in *.rpm; do sudo alien -cv $i; done" line. but instead it just creates folders with root access only. | 04:55 |
| iter | Agent_bob: mine looks like root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash | 04:56 |
| Agent_bob | only the shell/path | 04:56 |
| LiraNuna | cloud210, no .deb files? | 04:56 |
| cloud210 | nope | 04:56 |
| LiraNuna | do it one by one | 04:56 |
| Agent_bob | yeah i know. | 04:56 |
| LiraNuna | try with --scripts-enabled | 04:56 |
| LiraNuna | sometimes it helps | 04:56 |
| iter | Agent_bob: you seem to have no shell for the root acct | 04:56 |
| Agent_bob | iter if the /etc/passwd was wrong then i couldn't login as root no ? | 04:56 |
| ljsmithx | I have got a new phone and when you plug it in via usb it lets you choose webcam as an option | 04:57 |

| iter | Agent_bob: wait, you can login as root ? | 04:57 |
| ljsmithx | and in XP it is fine and XP sees the cam | 04:57 |
| iter | Agent_bob: ok so you can login as root at console but not via ssh | 04:57 |
| ljsmithx | but on ubuntu it doesnt see it | 04:57 |
| iter | Agent_bob: correct? | 04:57 |
| ljsmithx | so how do i fix this? | 04:57 |
| Agent_bob | iter i turncated the paste. the shell is there. and yes i can just not through ssh | 04:57 |
| nickrud | ljsmithx: webcams have hit or miss support in linux still. What camera? | 04:58 |
| ljsmithx | umm its a pohone | 04:58 |

| nickrud | ljsmithx: so I asked a bad question. What phone, exactly. Probably not supported, but maybe google will help | 04:58 |
| ljsmithx | yeah its a new phone | 04:59 |
| Agent_bob | iter it would have been a good guess "/etc/security/access.conf" but actually that's not it this time. | 04:59 |

| alex-weej | nm broke and network-admin is also broken | 04:59 |
| iter | Agent_bob: I'm wondering if that doesn't have something to do with it, try perhaps chsh to bash to test out? | 04:59 |
| Agent_bob | iter testing | 05:00 |
| prettyricky | hey guys do I always have to alt-f2 to start nm-applet or is there a way to have it start when booting | 05:00 |
| alex-weej | i've tried wireless-essid and wireless-key, i've tried wpa-essid and wpa-psk <key> | 05:00 |
| alex-weej | but neither work | 05:00 |
| iter | Agent_bob: also you might want to make sure there is nothing wrong with /etc/hosts* files | 05:00 |
| ljsmithx | nickrud, i dont think it is supported.. i would have liked it to though | 05:00 |
| triorieel_ | what does it mean when your very high of cpu %us but can't find a program thats doing it? | 05:00 |
| Agent_bob | iter shell is not it. and how would /etc/hosts* affect only one account on a box ? | 05:01 |
| triorieel_ | ^in top | 05:01 |
| nickrud | alex-weej: check system->prefs->sessions, startup programs. It should have the applet there and enabled | 05:01 |
| alex-weej | does anyone know how to set up /etc/network/interfaces for WPA 2? | 05:01 |
| alex-weej | nickrud: it won't start. it's a bug. | 05:01 |
| nickrud | alex-weej: sorry, wrong guy. prettyricky system->prefs->session startup programs, it should be there (network manager) and enabled | 05:02 |
| alex-weej | connection ":1.xx" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file | 05:02 |
| Agent_bob | iter you did catch that i can ssh in as a user just not root didn't you? | 05:02 |

| ubotu | alex-weej: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:02 |
| iter | Agent_bob: yeah this is quite odd | 05:02 |
| prettyricky | nickrud-----> thank you! | 05:02 |
| hwilde | Agent_bob, you just need to set the root password first... | 05:03 |
| iter | Agent_bob: have you made any changes to /etc/pam* | 05:03 |
| just_bobert_030 | How do I route an internet connection through an ibook ubuntu to an ubuntu on a pc? (7.04 for them both) The internet comes into the ibook in it's ethernet port, and needs leave from it's modem port into the modem of the pc ubuntu. | 05:03 |
| alex-weej | hwilde: tried it, it's all ridiculously out of date | 05:03 |
| Agent_bob | hwilde again ? i've set it nine times | 05:03 |
| alex-weej | hwilde: the linux kernel has been through a massive overhaul for wireless stuff since most of that was written | 05:03 |
| hwilde | alex-weej, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 05:03 |
| triorieel_ | something is using 100% cpu power in user space but no programs shown by system moniter or top are the culprits...what else could it be? | 05:03 |
| hwilde | alex-weej, you just need like two lines, wpa-ssid and wpa-psk | 05:03 |
| efren20 | automatrix:im trying to google it but found nothing | 05:04 |
| Agent_bob | iter ummm i don't think so. pretty sure that pam is stock one of the very few things that is tho | 05:04 |
| hwilde | Agent_bob, pastebin the output of this command: ssh -vvv root@localhost | 05:04 |
| alex-weej | hwilde: thanks -- i had been using wpa-essid not wpa-ssid. | 05:04 |
| iter | Agent_bob: yep good idea -vvv | 05:04 |
| prettyricky | thant weird it was on, but when I booted it didnt come on for some odd reason | 05:04 |
| hwilde | alex-weej, if you want to see how I do it, look at the end of that link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo | 05:05 |
| hwilde | alex-weej_, I wrote my own script and then just launch it in rc.local. then you just have to make your wpa supplicant conf file | 05:05 |
| alex-weej_ | hwilde: i'm just going to fix network manager | 05:05 |
| hwilde | alex-weej_, first thing I do is uninstall it... but to each his own | 05:06 |
| alex-weej_ | i had been using asac's PPA and decided to downgrade everything back to hardy | 05:06 |
| AutoMatriX | efren20, please open your packet manager, open it completely and enable the universe sources ... | 05:06 |
| alex-weej_ | and suddenly everything broke | 05:06 |
| alex-weej_ | nm-applet wouldn't start | 05:06 |
| AutoMatriX | the package you're looking for is in there | 05:06 |
| alex-weej_ | hwilde: i HATE not having network until i have logged in, but i need VPN so i am stuck. | 05:06 |
| hwilde | alex-weej_, rc.local buddy | 05:06 |

| hwilde | Ethernal_Storm, did you ask in #madwifi | 05:09 |
| Agent_bob | hwilde just want you to tell me why it is | 05:09 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 05:09 |
| Shpook | hwilde: I tried....it doesn't seem as though it's searching the subdirectories. | 05:09 |
| hwilde | Agent_bob, because the password is wrong. can you login as root at all in any way? | 05:10 |
| efren20 | im in my packaget manager automatrix where do i go now to endable | 05:10 |
| jodde | Can someone tell me where the language files are stored? | 05:10 |

| Agent_bob | look i did passwd -u root ;passwd root \n x \n x \n password updated successfully about nine times. the password is x and it's not wrong got it? | 05:10 |
| Ethernal_Storm | i did got no answer | 05:11 |

| AutoMatriX | efren20, you open a terminal, type in sudo synaptic | 05:13 |
| flowOver | is there an example of all the fonts ubuntu comes with by default? | 05:14 |
| hwilde | Agent_bob, that sshd conf looks fine to me. but your verbose output says it is rejecting the password | 05:14 |
| Agent_bob | btw i commented out the ip's for testing so that sshd would listen to everything | 05:14 |
| decay | hwilde: thank you. howcome it's not in the menu anymore like it used to be in older ubuntu releaseS? | 05:14 |
| macogw | efren20: make that "gksudo synaptic" | 05:14 |
| hwilde | decay, don't trust the gui. | 05:14 |
| AutoMatriX | efren20, then in the configuration menu, the second option, you chould enable the checkboxes with universe | 05:14 |
| xif | To which file is stderr being logged? | 05:14 |
| macogw | AutoMatriX: sudo doesnt always handle authority files for guis gracefully, so gksu/gksudo for GNOME or kdesu for KDE are recommended | 05:14 |
| decay | o | 05:14 |
| Agent_bob | hwilde yeah do you have any idea of what might cause that excluding an acual incorrect password cause the error is bogus. | 05:15 |
| macogw | efren20: what s/he pointed to can also be accessed through system -> administration -> software sources | 05:15 |
| hwilde | xif, you have to put 2>>file to redirect stderr to a file | 05:15 |
| hwilde | Agent_bob, you could have PermitRootLogin=no in your sshd conf | 05:15 |

| macogw | AutoMatriX: i know it works, but it's dangerous | 05:16 |
| macogw | AutoMatriX: it can break permissions, so using gksu or gksudo is a better idea | 05:16 |

| hellpme1 | hwilde: http://www.pastebin.ca/925753 this is my error after setup | 07:16 |
| AfroRowan | I hate ubuntu if this keeps on going | 07:16 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: ok, makes sense. I tried it, it works! thanks! | 07:17 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, you've really hosed it... just reinstall from the cd | 07:17 |
| Antkin | Finnish posting to the forum is the first step it can be a lttle slower than posting a question here on IRC | 07:17 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: :) | 07:17 |
| tripps | interesting - when I launch jackd with realtime priority, I can hear the latency buzzing sound and ps -eo rtprio,comm doesn't show the process with a RT priority. when i do chrt to 99 rtprio however it displays in ps as RT and the noise clears up. I wonder why jackd isn't really starting up in realtime? ideas? | 07:17 |
| AfroRowan | it continously say | 07:17 |
| AfroRowan | Cannot eject volume | 07:17 |
| Finnish | Ok, I'll do that | 07:17 |
| AfroRowan | and its driving me crazy | 07:17 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: how do I close all the instances of vnc4server? I tried starting a bunch... | 07:17 |
| hellpme1 | hwilde: what do you think should i do? | 07:17 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, just reinstall from the livecd | 07:18 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, it will detect both of your partitions and install grub correctly | 07:18 |
| AfroRowan | sudo umount -f /media/cdrom0 doesnt work... sudo eject -r doesnt work either | 07:18 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, in a terminal type "ps -ef" and pastebing the output. | 07:18 |
| AfroRowan | its drives me really insane | 07:18 |
| AfroRowan | ok | 07:18 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: kill -9 `ps aux | grep vnc4server | cut -d " " -f 7` perhaps | 07:18 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: you might need to adjust that -f number | 07:18 |
| hellpme1 | hwilde: that is my big problem reinstalling cuz when im in Preparing partitions the menu wont display my old partitions and the livecd cant even see my winxp partition in that menu but when i click Places-->Computer i saw the partitions | 07:19 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: so basically, I tell ssh to connect to my router; my router just passes it on to my linux machine. and once that is done, ssh also intercepts the high port, runs it through 22 and it pops up as a local request? | 07:19 |
| hellpme1 | hwilde: only in INSTALL program that i cant see the old partitions | 07:19 |
| hellpme1 | gparted program even cant see my old partitions | 07:19 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, your partition table is hosed then buddy | 07:19 |
| jamesrdorn | anyway to get grub to re-detect the existing partitions and OS's on your drive w/o manually updating the menu.list file? | 07:19 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, buy a new harddrive, install windows on half, then install ubuntu. then hook up your old harddrive, mount it, and get your data off | 07:20 |
| bullgard4 | There is a standard that standardizes the abbreviations for units of measurement of storage as follows: kiB = 1024 B, MiB = 1024*1024 B, GiB = 1024*1024*1024 B. Who did standardize this? | 07:20 |
| AfroRowan | hwilde : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58218/ | 07:20 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: exactly, though I would say that your ssh client 'opens the port you are tunneling (5900) and forwards it through the ssh session to the destination" | 07:20 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, killall /usr/bin/gnome-mount | 07:20 |
| hellpme1 | hwilde: what do you mean hosed then buddy? im sorry im not good in english | 07:20 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, I mean if gparted isn't detecting those partitions then the partition table written to your hardrive has errors | 07:21 |
| AfroRowan | hwilde, so i must type killall /usr/bin/gnome-mount in terminal ? | 07:21 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, you need to fix your mbr, then fix the partition table, then deal with grub | 07:21 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, yes type that in.. or do sudo | 07:21 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, that will clear out all those popups | 07:21 |
| iter | hellpme1: I concur -- if you need recovery software, R-Studio is pretty good | 07:21 |
| AfroRowan | but my drive keeps on going | 07:22 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, show me the full "ps -ef" output not cutoff full screen | 07:22 |
| AfroRowan | and the popups are returning every sec | 07:22 |
| hellpme1 | oh my gawd | 07:22 |
| icesword | where is dillo 's config file | 07:22 |
| ArthaZ | eMo_gurLz | 07:22 |
| ArthaZ | eMo_gurLz | 07:22 |
| hellpme1 | reinstalling ubuntu isbad | 07:22 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: makes sense. I though in destination I had to put the router, or the server ip. but destination is actually telling the linux box where to send it...? ie if I put destination 192.168.x.x my linux machine would receive it via ssh and then go off looking for that machine inside the network? | 07:22 |
| j_humphrey | how can i cancel all printing jobs? | 07:22 |
| AfroRowan | what do you mean hwilde | 07:23 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: exactly | 07:23 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, I mean show "ps -ef" with fullscreen | 07:23 |
| AfroRowan | ok | 07:23 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: the 'destination' is always thought of from the point of view of the system you are sshing to | 07:23 |
| hwilde | Newbuntu2, http://www.ssh.com/support/documentation/online/ssh/adminguide/32/Port_Forwarding.html | 07:23 |
| hellpme1 | thanks guy i think i have to reinstall again | 07:23 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: that's pretty neat, actually. thanks! | 07:23 |
| hellpme1 | recovery is useless then in ubuntu | 07:23 |
| hellpme1 | this is the big problem | 07:23 |
| animebando | Anyone here have the Broadcom 4318 wireless and get it to work under x64 ubuntu? ive tried the forums but nothing i have attempted has worked thus far | 07:24 |
| hwilde | hellpme1, if your ubuntu partition is ok, then just go to the livecd, do manual partitioning, and select hte right ones | 07:24 |
| hischild | hellpme1, why'd you have to reinstall? | 07:24 |
| hwilde | !broadcom | animebando | 07:25 |

| Newbuntu2 | iter: btw, how do I enable compression on sshd? my client supports zlib, but when I turn it on, it fails to connect... | 07:25 |
| === wilda is now known as edan | ||
| hellpme1 | hischild: my message above for hwilde is also for you, and in addition im trying to recover the ubuntu since i cant just delete my files and reinstall winxp again | 07:26 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: it says "algorithm negotiation failed" | 07:26 |
| animebando | thanks, ill try that page | 07:26 |
| hellpme1 | but if i have no other option then i have to reinstall ubuntu and winxp | 07:26 |
| hischild | hellpme1, why can't you just reinstall? did you create a seperate /home? | 07:26 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, one of those processes is the one spawning those. looks like that bonobo activation. sudo kill -9 6332 | 07:26 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: actually I would recommend no compression unless you are on a VERY slow link | 07:27 |
| iter | Newbuntu2: like 1200baud | 07:27 |
| hellpme1 | hischild: reinstall ubuntu is what im planning but the partition part of installation didnt see the old partitions i have | 07:27 |
| AfroRowan | process doesnt exist | 07:27 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, sudo kill -9 `ps -ef | grep mount` | 07:27 |
| Antkin | hellpme1 Gparted I use this often without any problems to date | 07:27 |
| hischild | hellpme1, define "didn't see" | 07:27 |
| hellpme1 | hischild: it wasnt able to see the winxp partition i have | 07:27 |
| Newbuntu2 | iter: ok. it's dsl, so I'll let it be | 07:27 |
| AfroRowan | huh | 07:27 |
| AfroRowan | i typed that and the terminal disappeard | 07:28 |
| j_humphrey | how can i cancel all print jobs? | 07:28 |
| hellpme1 | honestly Antkin gparted didnt see my partitions of /dev/sda | 07:28 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, did the popups disappear too? :) | 07:28 |
| AfroRowan | still poppin up every time | 07:28 |
| LainIwakura | Hello, does anyone know how to add a link to the right-click menu on the GNOME desktop? | 07:28 |
| hischild | hellpme1, it doesn't really matter if it doesn't see the xp part. If you install ubuntu and grub doesnt find the partition, you can still use supergrub to get it back | 07:28 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, that's not even possible... one of those processes is respawning it. you just have to kill the right one | 07:28 |
| hellpme1 | gparted sees my whole drive a unallocated 37.26gib | 07:29 |
| hischild | hellpme1, can you boot xp atm? | 07:29 |
| AfroRowan | its happening though | 07:29 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, did you reboot | 07:29 |
| hellpme1 | hischild: yes when turning on this pc,winxp boots automatically without prompting me to the grub | 07:29 |
| AfroRowan | twice | 07:30 |
| hischild | hellpme1, do you have free space to install ubuntu on right now? | 07:30 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, pastebin /etc/fstab it must be mounting somewhere... | 07:30 |
| AfroRowan | how do i do that ? | 07:30 |
| hellpme1 | hischild: nope im planning to overwrite it in my /dev/sda5 which is my old ubuntu | 07:30 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, type in "cat /etc/fstab" and pastebin the output | 07:31 |
| hischild | hellpme1, right ... and what was the reason for reinstalling? because you can just use supergrub to get grub back | 07:31 |
| hellpme1 | hischild: i havent tried supergrub | 07:31 |
| Antkin | hellpme1 you do not nead to buy a new hard drive. Try a free data destruction program like Erazer and fully wipe your old hard drive then start again | 07:32 |
| Pwhdavey | Need some modem help here. | 07:32 |
| hischild | !grub | hellpme1 | 07:32 |
| ubotu | hellpme1: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 07:32 |
| hellpme1 | now im going to try supergrub..how to get supergrub? | 07:32 |
| Pwhdavey | Many a problem with modem on Ubuntu. | 07:32 |
| hwilde | hischild, I think he has to fix mbr first, then fix the partition table, then fix grub. if gparted doesn't even see the partitions then there is something else wrong | 07:32 |
| hischild | hellpme1, second link | 07:32 |
| Pwhdavey | Each time I "sudo wvdial"... | 07:32 |
| hischild | hwilde, as far as i know supergrub can do that all at the same time | 07:32 |
| Pwhdavey | It always says the device is busy. | 07:32 |
| Pwhdavey | But tonight it hasn't for ages. | 07:32 |

| hellpme1 | ok reading manual supergrub..be back later guys if i have an error to this | 07:33 |
| hischild | hellpme1, if you start supergrub (burn it, then boot it) it has an amazing onscreen help | 07:33 |
| AfroRowan | why does ubuntu never work well on a laptop | 07:34 |
| hischild | AfroRowan, i'm on a laptop now ... works without a problem | 07:34 |

| hellpme1 | hischild: can i run supergrub even if im on livecd? | 07:34 |
| AfroRowan | not here | 07:34 |

| hwilde | Newbuntu2, pidgin is instant messenger with mic supoport | 07:35 |
| hwilde | AfroRowan, comment out that line with a # sign and reboot | 07:35 |
| iter | yeah but pidgin uses msn or whatever, it goes outside local network | 07:35 |
| AfroRowan | how ? | 07:36 |

| rares_ubuntu | i have an HP Compaq 8510 W laptop | 08:00 |
| erawfish_ | crow: no | 08:00 |
| crow | like whole world is using winamp | 08:00 |
| rares_ubuntu | and an Dell 1907 | 08:00 |
| ere4si | crow, xmms looks similar to winamp and does a great job | 08:00 |
| rares_ubuntu | external monitor | 08:00 |
| nox-Hand | erawfish_: apt =| | 08:00 |
| crow | thanks | 08:00 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Let's say you have a directory (/sales) that you only want yourself and the sales group to have access to: sudo chown -R arthur:sales /sales | 08:01 |
| rares_ubuntu | and running Gutsy Gibbon | 08:01 |
| Zoiks | I just reinstalled ubuntu, now mdadm is not picking up my raid properly, saying it is only assembling 1 drive. Any ideas? | 08:01 |
| voltxion | Does anyone have exp. installing teh g15 keyboard drivers? | 08:01 |
| erawfish_ | nox-Hand: depends where apt gets its stuff from | 08:01 |
| rares_ubuntu | and all updates are installed | 08:01 |
| erawfish_ | Zoiks: you should have zeored the drives FULLY | 08:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: You'd replace arthur with your own username | 08:01 |

| icesword | ere4si, hi | 08:02 |
| Zoiks | erawfish_: no, that would defeat the purpose of me keeping the data on these drives. I have 4, 3 of which should be in a raid 5 | 08:02 |
| zippytech_ | so the root user is the problem | 08:02 |
| zippytech_ | ? | 08:02 |
| erawfish_ | Zoiks: then find out where on the disks mdadm keeps the info of the former raid and zeor that only, good luck | 08:02 |
| zulerdongle | Hi there. Just wondering at 3 am if there is a key shortcut to ship between workspaces in ubuntu 7.10 and if i can use more than 2 at a time... Thanks | 08:03 |
| voltxion | Hello, does anyone know how to install the g15 keyboard libg15 ? I have been following the guide on ubuntu's documentation and its still telling me the libg15 is not found any ideas? | 08:03 |
| Antkin | rares_ubuntu I have 5 Dell Optiplex computers may be I can help you today | 08:04 |
| nox-Hand | Which version of headers do I need erawfish_? | 08:04 |
| rares_ubuntu | i will be very happy if you can help me | 08:04 |
| rares_ubuntu | Antkin, i filled in a bug | 08:04 |
| Zoiks | erawfish_: any ideas on how to do that | 08:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: That sets the ownership of the directory, next you have to set the file permissions with chmod | 08:05 |
| Antkin | iceword are you going to reply to my message it is a greeting. | 08:05 |
| erawfish_ | Zoiks: no | 08:05 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: But I'm not too good at that... I just use the gui. :) | 08:05 |
| rares_ubuntu | Antkin, bug number is 196979 | 08:05 |
| zippytech_ | i have played with it for hrs | 08:05 |
| zulerdongle | Hi there. Just wondering at 3 am if there is a key shortcut to ship between workspaces in ubuntu 7.10 and if i can use more than 2 at a time... Thanks | 08:06 |
| zippytech_ | i still can login as another user and still access the folders | 08:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Once you setup the ownership with the command I gave you above, right click on the folder, set owner access, group access, then everyone else to no access. | 08:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: By default, other users are allowed to see the files, but nothing else. ie, they can't open them. | 08:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Oh, and make sure to check the little box that says make this the permissions for enclosed files too. | 08:07 |
| zippytech_ | hmm | 08:07 |
| erawfish_ | zulerdongle: | 08:07 |
| erawfish_ | System Menu - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts. | 08:07 |
| zippytech_ | any idea the command if there is no gui | 08:07 |
| erawfish_ | !permissions | zippytech_ | 08:08 |
| ubotu | zippytech_: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 08:08 |
| Antkin | rares_ubuntu that is good do you have a link | 08:08 |
| juergen_ | hi, question to Sticky notes in Ubuntu | 08:09 |
| zulerdongle | erawfish thanks, just used it | 08:09 |
| juergen_ | Where are the notes stored? | 08:09 |
| juergen_ | I need to migrate them to another machine? | 08:09 |
| erawfish_ | juergen_: grep your ~ | 08:10 |
| juergen_ | ok | 08:10 |
| juergen_ | one way | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | juergen_: what program do you use for sticky notes? | 08:10 |
| juergen_ | ? | 08:10 |
| Newbuntu2 | I have a webcam mapped to /dev/video2, but I can't get any programs to open it... | 08:10 |
| Antkin | juergen do you have a question today? | 08:10 |
| juergen_ | gnome applets | 08:10 |
| owner_ | Hello? | 08:11 |
| juergen_ | they must be somewhere in the gnome config for the users I guess | 08:11 |
| rares_ubuntu | Antkin here is the link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/196979 | 08:11 |
| owner_ | Good Bye | 08:11 |
| owner_ | quit | 08:12 |
| Antkin | owner Welcome doyou have a question or problem today? | 08:12 |
| owner_ | Wait... | 08:12 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Ok.. based on that link, if the /sales wanted to belong to you and the sales group only, then I think the the command would be sudo chmod -R 660 /sales | 08:12 |
| prince_jammys | juergen_: yeah they must be in a hidden dir in your home. i was asking because i know tomboy notes are in .tomboy | 08:12 |
| owner_ | Thank You ^^ | 08:12 |
| === miska is now known as MaherSenatu | ||
| owner_ | Good Bye~ | 08:13 |
| juergen_ | tomboy i found | 08:13 |
| juergen_ | that is easier | 08:13 |
| juergen_ | but this notes are the default sticky notes in gnome | 08:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Oops. That -R is in the wrong place. And sudo should be required if you are the owner. It's: chmod 660 -R /sales | 08:14 |
| prince_jammys | juergen_: right, they're probably in a subdirectory | 08:14 |
| juergen_ | let me check | 08:14 |
| juergen_ | thx for now | 08:14 |
| === miska is now known as MaherSenatu | ||
| prince_jammys | juergen_: if you happen to know some text in one your notes you can do :: grep -r my_text ~ | 08:14 |
| === cens0red is now known as I | ||
| === I is now known as cens0red | ||
| ArthurArchnix | Oh and zippytech_ Be careful with chown and chmod. Using them with sudo can easily render your system unusable. | 08:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Like the link says. ;) | 08:15 |
| zippytech_ | hmm | 08:15 |
| prince_jammys | zippytech_: ultra careful with recursive chmod | 08:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: But if you chown the directory so that you're owner, you don't need to use sudo with chmod. | 08:17 |
| Smorg | chmod -r can screw you ^^ | 08:17 |
| prince_jammys | zippytech_: it's ok provided you only apply it to the subdirectory you want to change (not your whole home directory) | 08:17 |
| Antkin | rares_ubuntu I would copy and paste the top part of that and ask the same thing again in Ubuntu forums hardware support | 08:17 |
| prince_jammys | zippytech_: what are the permissions you want to set? | 08:17 |
| amazing | anyone using compiz? | 08:17 |
| rares_ubuntu | Antkin, can you please give the link for hardware forum? | 08:18 |
| hwilde | !hardware | 08:18 |
| ubotu | For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 08:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: 660 on a folder I think. Hard to say, zippytech_ isn't giving any feedback about whether any of these commands are working. | 08:18 |
| unimatrix9 | hello all | 08:18 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: zippytech_ 660 will not allow the dir to be opened | 08:19 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: zippytech_ you need to set the executable bit on a directory in order to be able to view its contents | 08:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: zippytech_ 6 is read/write... why wouldn't that allow reading? | 08:19 |
| unimatrix9 | where can i find an list of bash command for ubuntu terminal? | 08:19 |
| Antkin | rares_ubuntu http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=135 | 08:19 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: because the x on a dir allows you to cd to it | 08:20 |
| unimatrix9 | does the bash have an build in list that i can call? | 08:20 |
| hwilde | unimatrix9, just google bash system commands | 08:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: zippytech_ so its 770? | 08:20 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: yes | 08:20 |
| Antkin | unimatrix9 Welcome do you have a question or problem today? | 08:20 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: on a directory | 08:20 |
| unimatrix9 | not really a problem but i am trying to get an full list of all bash commands | 08:21 |
| hwilde | unimatrix9, just google bash system commands | 08:21 |
| zippytech_ | man i have tried every thing | 08:21 |
| unimatrix9 | and was wondering if its on the bash, so i could view them | 08:21 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: mkdir whatever; chmod 660 whatever; cd whatever bash: cd: whatever: Permission denied | 08:21 |
| hwilde | zippytech_, what is your desired output | 08:21 |
| zippytech_ | 770 lets none group users in | 08:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: zippytech_ ok, so chmod 770 /directory && cd /directory && chmod 660 *.* <-- would that work? | 08:21 |
| zippytech_ | 660 don't let any grpi[ users in | 08:21 |
| Antkin | unimatrix9 have you googled or trired Ubuntu forums? | 08:22 |
| unimatrix9 | yes, i am googling, but was thinking its a good idea if bash had an a-z list that you could call to look at | 08:22 |
| zippytech_ | drwxrwx--- 4 maryellen mk 4096 2008-03-03 03:05 mk | 08:22 |
| hwilde | unimatrix9, you could start by looking in the /usr/bin and /usr/sbin and /bin/ and /sbin/ folders. anything in those binary folders will be a command you can run... | 08:22 |
| Antkin | zippytech do you have a question or problem today? | 08:22 |
| unimatrix9 | ah ,good tip | 08:22 |
| hwilde | zippytech_, what is your desired output | 08:22 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Do ls -l /path/to/directory/you/want/to/restrict and post the output here. | 08:23 |
| hwilde | unimatrix9, also if you type "echo $PATH" anything in the directories in your path will be executable | 08:23 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: that's an 'L' not a 1 | 08:23 |
| hwilde | if you would just state what you want i'll tell you the permissions command... | 08:23 |
| prince_jammys | better yet, tell us what permissions you want :) | 08:23 |
| zippytech_ | i have 2 users in the mk group that need to work on files together and no others should be allowed in | 08:23 |
| zippytech_ | i would think this would be simple | 08:24 |
| zippytech_ | but i been pulling hair for hrs | 08:24 |
| hwilde | zippytech_, ok so chgrp mk filename | 08:24 |
| hwilde | it's easy | 08:24 |
| zippytech_ | the folder is mk | 08:24 |
| yesi | ls | 08:24 |
| === yesi is now known as sleepster | ||
| hwilde | zippytech_, chgrp -r mk mk/ | 08:25 |
| sleepster | ls | 08:25 |
| sleepster | dang stupid terminal sorry | 08:25 |
| sleepster | so anyways.. what's the best IRC client | 08:25 |
| sleepster | that people use? | 08:25 |
| hwilde | sleepster, xchat | 08:25 |
| zippytech_ | drwxrwx--- 4 maryellen mk 4096 2008-03-03 03:05 mk | 08:25 |
| === bobslaed1 is now known as bobslaede | ||
| hwilde | ok that is owned by user maryellen and group mk | 08:26 |
| zippytech_ | maryellen is one of the users in the group mk | 08:26 |
| mavi- | xchat for gui and irssi for terminal | 08:26 |
| prince_jammys | zippytech_: that's ok | 08:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | sleepster: TBDIC is what I use. The best damn IRC client. Google it. | 08:26 |
| sleepster | sweet thanks.. I will check it out | 08:26 |
| sleepster | I am using Irssi right now.. | 08:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | :P | 08:26 |
| sleepster | it's not too bad | 08:26 |
| bobslaede | hey guys, i have a weird problem. I have a hp laptop, with a build-in card-reader. But when i but my sd-card from my camera in it, it shows up right, but the pictures are mangled | 08:27 |
| zippytech_ | so how can a none group member access it | 08:27 |
| Bits | anyone know a good american proxy offhand? | 08:27 |
| sleepster | Bits: what kind of proxy | 08:28 |
| hwilde | zippytech_, that's not even a sentence... | 08:28 |
| sleepster | Bits: look up squid proxy | 08:28 |
| sleepster | one of the best/easiest | 08:28 |
| Antkin | ArthurArchnix Your simely is not happy. Can I help you today? | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | zippytech_: they may need to access it directly, not through your home | 08:28 |
| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: I'd do a "groups username" and confirm that the user is a member of mk | 08:28 |
| hwilde | zippytech_, only members of the mk group will access it | 08:28 |
| threefcata | anyone using Mint? | 08:28 |

| zippytech_ | ron : domusers admins OFSFaculty | 08:30 |
| hakan_ | ok thanks | 08:30 |
| prince_jammys | hakan_: you can install them normally, like any other app. it may require that you install some kde libraries, but that would be done automatically by synaptic or apt-get, or whatever you use | 08:30 |
| ArthurArchnix | Well, there's your problem zippytech_ | 08:31 |
| zippytech_ | ? | 08:31 |

| hwilde | zippytech_, chmod -r g+rwx mk | 08:36 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: no, just mentioning a short way | 08:36 |
| hwilde | zippytech_, that recursively adds read, write, execute permissions for the group mk | 08:36 |
| Antkin | ziekerz have you posted this question on Ubuntu forums? | 08:36 |
| ziekerz | No. | 08:36 |
| hwilde | prince_jammys, that command gives tons of other output :p | 08:36 |

| Antkin | ziekerz Please post there first, then come back to IRC | 08:37 |
| ziekerz | OK. | 08:37 |

| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: Had to happen at least once today. | 08:38 |

| * ArthurArchnix concurs.... | 08:40 | |

| ndlovu | hwilde, that sound-bite and the website seems to recommend java-6 - why not 7? | 08:43 |
| ArthurArchnix | hwilde: That should create a test directory, and only allow mk groups into it to create directorys and files and stuff, right? | 08:43 |
| efzparentpc | hi, I just installed Ubuntu on my parents/kids computer, and I was wondering if there is a decent keylogger for linux that my dad could use. he likes to keep an eye on the younger kids. | 08:43 |

| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Copy and paste that command I gave, post any error messages it gives you. It should create a directory called "/mytest" then only allow mk group members into it. | 08:44 |
| Antkin | suxxor Welcome Do you have a qestion or problem today? | 08:44 |

| ArthurArchnix | then zippytech_ try and make a directory like this: mkdir pleasework | 08:46 |
| hwilde | efzparentpc, you're not going to find help on keystroke loggers.. even if you are legitimately interested in parental controls you can imagine how they could be used maliciously | 08:46 |
| Antkin | suxxor Have you posted your question on Ubuntu forums? | 08:46 |
| hischild | efzparentpc, i'm not sure | 08:46 |
| zippytech_ | yes for mk group members and yes for non members | 08:46 |
| hischild | efzparentpc, as i said: i have no experience with it | 08:47 |
| efzparentpc | hwilde: yeah figures :p | 08:47 |
| suxxor | no | 08:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | Now, before you go and test this with some other user who shouldn't be able to get into this dir, and see the pleasework directory, post what groups they're a part of. groups userwhoshouldn'tseestufff | 08:47 |

| zippytech_ | right | 08:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | Squawk: I think he's trolling. | 08:53 |
| zippytech_ | problem is the groups don't seem to work | 08:53 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: && only does the following command if the previous command succeeds (exits with status 0) | 08:53 |
| Squawk | ArthurArchnix, I got a nice big red ignore button here if thats the case ;). But il give benefit of the doubt for now | 08:53 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: So it's a bit safer then ; ? | 08:54 |
| Squawk | zippytech_, dont seem to work? thast like saying. My car doesnt work, whats wrong with it. I need an idea of how it doesnt work | 08:54 |

| zippytech_ | is it possible to set permissions to just 2 users? | 08:54 |
| nox-Hand | Antkin: Nopoe, but think I got an idea =\ | 08:55 |
| zippytech_ | i am having second thoughts | 08:55 |
| Squawk | zippytech, create a new group, add both users to that group, set the group of a given directory as that group, give the right group permissions to that direcotry | 08:55 |
| zippytech_ | would ldap auth have anything to do with this not working | 08:55 |
| zippytech_ | done that | 08:56 |
| Antkin | nox-Hand I like new ideas, this helps me to grow can you please share it with me today? | 08:56 |
| zippytech_ | right now there are 2 users that should be able to access the mk dir | 08:56 |

| ArthurArchnix | zippytech_: Ok. | 08:57 |
| zippytech_ | could be permissions be set by a parent directory | 08:57 |

| hwilde | because you keep telling people to go to the forums | 09:34 |

| ArthurArchnix | All you do is say "Can I help you, do you have a question" and then say "Go ask in the forums" | 09:34 |

| Amaranth | LoLLo: Please don't do such things | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | youtube? | 09:51 |
| Antkin | er4si off topic why? | 09:51 |
| Amaranth | LoLLo: I think by this point we all know what compiz can do :) | 09:51 |
| Amaranth | I thought for sure I was going to be rickrolled | 09:51 |
| Ububegin | hwilde, Antkin: i am not encouraging... i just wanna read his extensive guide on dual booting from Ubuntu to Kubuntu..dats alll... | 09:51 |
| hischild | Amaranth, compiz? what is that? :P | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | Antkin: because the topic is support, and you're not giving any nor asking for any | 09:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | ere4si: Ahh... sorry, I thought you made a typo for 'op'. My bad. | 09:52 |
| ramrod | all of a sudden im getting "Kernel panic -not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!" at boot time. this is the second time. first it began when i installed apache and after new install of xubuntu and yesterday when i configured lighttpd. is it possible that webservers make such kernel panics? | 09:52 |
| Squawk | hischild, ahh ok I know what you mean, though I can't remember what character windows uses for line termination. Once you know it a simle substitution in vim? | 09:52 |
| ere4si | ArthurArchnix, k :) | 09:52 |
| Amaranth | ramrod: No, this is usually a driver problem | 09:52 |
| hischild | Squawk, yes ... but there was a simple program that could do it | 09:52 |
| hwilde | Squawk, he just needs the tofrodos package. then run dos2unix command | 09:52 |
| hwilde | hischild, apt-get install tofrodos; dos2unix filename | 09:52 |
| Amaranth | ramrod: Sure you didn't get a new kernel or something too? | 09:52 |
| ramrod | no nothing | 09:52 |
| hwilde | ramrod, sounds like you need to run updates | 09:52 |
| ramrod | it worked fine for monts | 09:52 |
| hischild | hwilde, yes did that :-) | 09:52 |
| ramrod | months | 09:52 |
| hischild | hwilde, works <3 | 09:52 |
| hwilde | yep | 09:53 |
| * tricaric just kidding | 09:53 | |
| * tricaric is trying the /me command... | 09:53 | |
| Squawk | hwilde, never knew about that one, thanks | 09:53 |
| hwilde | Squawk, and the endoflines usually look like ^M but you can't search and replace | 09:53 |

| Ububegin | this is the guide by Antkin... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712997 ...Whoa what an extensive guide :! | 09:54 |
| Antkin | prince_jimmys I am giving lots of advise, this is a support forum | 09:55 |
| hwilde | Ububegin, don't encourage him... | 09:55 |
| simplexio | http://student.northpark.edu/pemente/sed/sed1line.txt Squawk or hischild, there is one lineer to convert end of lines | 09:55 |
| hwilde | dos2unix is the bomb | 09:55 |
| prince_jammys | Antkin: you have given exactly ZERO advice in the hours i have watched you | 09:55 |
| Squawk | simplexio, thats what I had in mind to do it | 09:55 |
| Antkin | afief Welcome Do you have a question or problem today? | 09:56 |
| hischild | simplexio, yes sed can also do it ... dos2unix is a bit easier for one who still has trouble in regular expressions | 09:56 |
| hwilde | it will still be in dos file format tho | 09:56 |
| comandante | hi guys!!! | 09:56 |
| hwilde | you need to convert the format not just the characters | 09:56 |
| hischild | hwilde, the line endings were my problem which dos2unix fixed | 09:56 |
| ramrod | another question, how can i access the terminal when i have this boot error? | 09:56 |
| simplexio | hischild: do you rememebr ehich package has that dos2unix | 09:56 |
| afief | Antkin, Problem: my old laptop died. I need to buy a new one. Question, is the hardware I posted suitable for running Ubuntu GNU/Linux? | 09:56 |
| hwilde | hischild, actually it converts the file format... you could run into problems especially in web browsers | 09:56 |
| ramrod | i allways update with apt-get update, upgrade | 09:56 |
| hwilde | simplechat, tofrodos is the package | 09:56 |

| NET||abuse | I am trying to reach a website, but i'm being redirected to bloody smileycentral, it's really annoying | 10:02 |
| hwilde | what is the website? maybe it was hacked | 10:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | NET||abuse: add it to your /etc/hosts file | 10:02 |
| NET||abuse | www.ia-beta.com | 10:03 |
| NET||abuse | ArthurArchnix, hmm, that's a point, | 10:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | redirect it to 0.0.0.0 or /dev/null | 10:03 |
| NET||abuse | or 127.0.0l1 | 10:03 |
| Amaranth | that site doesn't go anywhere for me | 10:03 |
| Amaranth | blank white page | 10:03 |
| ArthurArchnix | I don't know if /dev/null would work. | 10:03 |
| hwilde | just wait it will load up eventually | 10:03 |
| Amaranth | it says it finished loading | 10:03 |
| NET||abuse | Amaranth, hmm, i think it is flash site also (i'm not sure as i havn't managed to load it)( | 10:04 |
| dgjones | NET||abuse, works ok for me, doesn't redirect or anything | 10:04 |
| hwilde | NET||abuse, type in "nslookup www.ia-beta.com" and tell me the server it says | 10:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | Agree. Blank white page. | 10:04 |
| Amaranth | it's a frame that loads http://nbjmp.com/click/?s=14187&c=68835&subid=41 | 10:04 |
| Amaranth | looks spammy to me | 10:04 |
| Amaranth | but that URL does take me to a game looking thing | 10:05 |
| NET||abuse | ok, it's a digg link that was sent to me on pownce so i thought it would be credible, basically it's meant to be this new console quality gaming in your browser | 10:05 |
| NET||abuse | so it got my interest :) | 10:05 |
| Amaranth | NET||abuse: http://www.instantaction.com/account/register/?utm_source=ALL&utm_medium=35534&utm_campaign=NB&esrc=neverblue&psrc=35534 | 10:05 |
| hwilde | notice how none of the links work like about or privacy policy or terms of service? it's just phishing for email address submissions | 10:05 |
| sebastiansilva | guys i messed up my privileges (chowned everything in / ) is there a way I can restore the original owners of files in packages? | 10:05 |
| NET||abuse | awsome, thanks for that link,,, | 10:06 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: the about thing worked for me | 10:06 |
| NET||abuse | it's a sign up for beta program | 10:06 |
| ArthurArchnix | sebastiansilva: !sudo | 10:06 |

| homerj | ahh | 10:08 |
| homerj | this "place windows" plugin | 10:08 |

| hwilde | Antkin, behave yourself... don't greet everyone... don't refer to forums... and you won't have any trouble. | 10:09 |
| homerj | I don't know what's smart about it | 10:09 |
| homerj | it does know the most annoying place to put them | 10:09 |
| hwilde | homerj, you should try icewm it might be more to your liking. | 10:09 |

| hwilde | homerj, well you're in luck, it's open source, so why don't you write a better option? | 10:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | sebastiansilva: But if it were me, I'd do what prince_jammys | 10:10 |

Both settings are listed as supported in a simple ethtool peth0 | 10:17 |
| prince_jammys | gutsy | 10:17 |
| Ububegin | temik: version 7 | 10:17 |
| Mighty_Penguin | 7.10 | 10:17 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: Whatever you want as long as it's 7.10 or older | 10:17 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: If you don't feel like helping with 6.06, that's fine. You're not being paid or anything :P | 10:17 |
| hwilde | 7.10 is gutsy gibbon right? | 10:18 |
| temik | Ububegin: You only have to install compiz manager | 10:18 |
| mohbana | how do i get a list of all packages INSTALLED that contain the word 'font'? | 10:18 |
| prince_jammys | hwilde: yes | 10:18 |
| Mighty_Penguin | hwilde yes | 10:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | ph8 what's the command? | 10:18 |
| hwilde | Amaranth, 6.06 LTS is the bomb man | 10:18 |
| Ububegin | temik: Danke , dude | 10:18 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: I would also say that if Ubuntu has dropped support for something (like all releases older than 6.06) you should just tell people to upgrade. | 10:18 |
| hwilde | I have that running on hundreds of machines | 10:18 |
| Nereos_ | zhen you are running several os at the same time and you switch from an os to another one> check that video out, you ll see what im talking about. | 10:18 |
| Amaranth | And if these people want to use Compiz you should tell them to upgrade to 7.10 | 10:18 |
| hwilde | I would never recommend compiz | 10:18 |
| temik | Ububegin: You already have compiz and xgl... Let me find the link... | 10:18 |
| hwilde | I consider it a virus | 10:18 |
| ph8 | ArthurArchnix: ethtool -s peth0 speed 10 and ethtool -s peth0 duplex half | 10:18 |
| mohbana | how do i get a list of all packages INSTALLED that contain the word 'font'? | 10:18 |
| Amaranth | Nereos_: I don't see a link to a video | 10:18 |
| ganes | how to use xen | 10:18 |
| bullgard4 | Is it normal that epiphany-browser permanently takes 25% of the CPU processing time when 19 Epiphany instances are open? (512 MB RAM) | 10:18 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: I'm on the Ubuntu compiz team :) | 10:19 |
| Tm_T | Amaranth: shame on you! | 10:19 |
| hwilde | Amaranth, well technically it's metacity that crashes my video card | 10:19 |
| hwilde | compiz is ok I guess | 10:19 |
| hwilde | but they are sorta bound together | 10:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | ph8: I gotta check something, but you'll need sudo in front of that. | 10:19 |
| rinovan | what is xen | 10:19 |
| hwilde | I heard there is some 'nouveau' update that might fix it but I haven't tried yet | 10:19 |
| Mighty_Penguin | !xen | 10:19 |
| Amaranth | Nereos_: Oh! That's not Bootcamp, that's a virtual machine | 10:19 |
| ubotu | XEN is a virtual machine monitor for x86 that supports execution of multiple guest operating systems with unprecedented levels of performance and resource isolation. Information on installing it for Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen | 10:19 |
| hwilde | !vmware | 10:20 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 10:20 |
| Ububegin | temik: hmmm, U mean thru the IRC , u can check whether i have compiz or not... | 10:20 |
| hwilde | Ububegin, if you have 7.10 you hav compiz | 10:20 |
| mohbana | any get my messagE? | 10:20 |
| Amaranth | Nereos_: If you run VMWare in Quick Switch mode and put it on one side of a compiz cube you'll get the same effect | 10:20 |
| magnetron | mohbana: yes | 10:20 |
| Wayne^ | mohbana: use aptitude in command line, press enter on installed packages, then "/" to search, type in font and enter again.... best way i know how | 10:20 |
| Mighty_Penguin | Ububegin do you have desktop effects enabled? | 10:20 |
| hwilde | mohadib, dpkg -l | grep font | 10:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | ph8: try ethtool -s peth0 autoneg off speed 10 | 10:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | ph8: With sudo, of course. | 10:20 |
| Wayne^ | that's a better way... lol :) | 10:20 |
| can | helow. is there an acroread for ubuntu. or do we have to download it from adobe | 10:21 |
| flowOver | that is almost obscene how well the compiz super zoom works | 10:21 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: I told you the fix for your nvidia woes was nouveau. :P nouveau is the open source nvidia driver | 10:21 |
| hwilde | my drivers are fine man | 10:21 |
| ndlovu | I can start compiz from the commandline, but not using 'system > preferences > appearance' any ideas why? | 10:21 |
| hwilde | it's metacity window manager | 10:21 |
| Nereos_ | I looked it up with google and it says that boot camp can do the fast switch . I thought linux had a same program ... sort of ... | 10:21 |
| ArthurArchnix | If you want that change to survive reboots, you'll need to add that command (minus sudo) to /etc/rc.local | 10:21 |
| Ububegin | hwilde: i am 7.04 | 10:21 |
| hwilde | Amaranth, wait are you in +1 | 10:21 |
| icesword | !find irkssi | 10:21 |

| can | is 7.10 feisty? | 10:21 |
| ubotu | Package/file irkssi does not exist in gutsy | 10:21 |
| Amaranth | hwilde: If your X is crashing or your system is locking up it is a driver problem as only drivers can make that happen | 10:21 |
| Mighty_Penguin | 7.04 if feisty | 10:21 |
| icesword | !find irsski | 10:21 |

| Mighty_Penguin | ganes in the terminal type: info xen | 10:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | ph8: You need to turn autonegotiate off, because even if you tell it to use 10, if it finds that it can do 100 it will with autoneg left on. At least, that's my understanding. | 10:24 |
| kalatian | Ububegin: you're using the ATI fglrx driver? | 10:24 |
| kalatian | it does that sometimes... | 10:24 |
| prince_jammys | Ububegin: yeah, that happens | 10:24 |
| Mighty_Penguin | i'd never buy a ATI card ;/ | 10:25 |

| NET||abuse | Hi guys.. I need to encode a .mov file that is 3 minutes long and 900MB, down to a few different qualities of flash flv.. what can i use to do this? | 10:25 |
| Wayne^ | ffmpeg | 10:25 |
| Mighty_Penguin | ganes i would suggest to look on the xen website | 10:26 |
| kalatian | My ATI card works fine :) | 10:26 |
| NET||abuse | Wayne^, any thing that might help me in terms of a gui for ffmpeg, i've very little knowledge in it! | 10:26 |
| Ububegin | ok, dudes...C ya 2morrow... Hope Antkin becomes sane by 2morrow :? | 10:26 |
| Nereos | thx Amaranth :) | 10:26 |
| Squawk | NET||abuse, pretty sure mencoder will do that | 10:26 |
| NET||abuse | Squawk, ok, thanks | 10:27 |
| can | where are the repository keys arestored | 10:27 |
| prince_jammys | NET||abuse: mencoder is also command-line, though | 10:27 |
| latief | hai | 10:27 |
| can | I did something like "wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -" | 10:27 |
| can | and now i want to rollback | 10:27 |
| can | so I added a gpg key to apt | 10:27 |
| NET||abuse | prince, what about mplayer or something, anyway to use it to do conversions? | 10:28 |
| Wayne^ | sudo apt-key list, find the key id, and then sudo apt-key del <key id> | 10:28 |
| Wayne^ | or delete the key from /etc/apt/trusted.gpg | 10:29 |
| ganes | Mighty_Penguin, in my pc kernel is 2.6.21 but the xen is available in 2.6.20 , will it create problem | 10:29 |
| Mighty_Penguin | ganes, i do not know, but your kernel should support it if its higher than what xen supports | 10:30 |
| prince_jammys | NET||abuse: sorry, i don't know. i know that ffmpeg and mencoder are the best for this, but i don't know of GUIs. the commands can be fairly cryptic | 10:30 |
| can | Wayne^: thanks. but I can not figure out which one is the key | 10:31 |
| ganes | Mighty_Penguin, ok thanks | 10:31 |
| prince_jammys | NET||abuse: i'm sure a GUI will come out soon, if it's not out there already. if noone knows here, you can always google for the specific commands that you need for your conversion | 10:31 |
| can | pub 1024D/0C5A2783 2006-11-23 | 10:31 |
| can | I get things like these | 10:32 |

| icesword | tuono, you can install it to a move hd | 11:01 |
| icesword | though | 11:01 |
| tuono | can i use pen as a move hd? | 11:01 |

| tuono | yes, but | 11:03 |
| tuono | is there a procedure alternative or is same as an internal hard drive? | 11:03 |
| Nublaii | nope... the one on bsd gives me a couple of options to define input and output formats | 11:03 |
| Nublaii | so I don't need to write anything else to transform dates | 11:03 |
| icesword | tuono, i don't understand your question | 11:04 |
| Wayne^ | Nublaii: the -t option lets you use the BSD date format | 11:04 |

| LanceHaig | yes | 11:10 |
| adughep | withoout using the web interface ..something with rm -rf /path/cups/jpbs | 11:11 |
| oakgrove | DaveEngland, you haven't made any changes to the order in which your drives boot up in the bios have you? If so, that can confuse grub | 11:11 |
| icesword | LanceHaig, can you give me that page once again | 11:11 |
| Wayne^ | Nublaii: I found the source code for BSD Date.... which may, or may not compile under linux: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/bin/date/date.c?rev=1.48 | 11:12 |

| oakgrove | I'd just like to say that Linux is awesome, Ubuntu is awesome and anybody that might be thinking about giving up, don't get discouraged just stick with it. It does require a great deal of intense study to really get it down but, it's worth it. Just had to say that. | 11:15 |
| icesword | LanceHaig, did you select your languauge? it is in system>system admin>languauge support | 11:17 |

| Werdna | hi, if I have an ssh session open to my ubuntu box, and I want to run konsole or something on a local Xming (X server) installation, is there some way to tell the application to connect to that X server rather than the local one? | 11:18 |
| adughep | but the webinterface says ok all jobs purges | 11:18 |
| adughep | strange ..about this one | 11:18 |
| LanceHaig | icesword: no gui tis is a server | 11:18 |
| Yoshi | Nobody know how to use gobby ? | 11:19 |
| icesword | adughep, sorry,i don't know much about print,maybe you need sudo? | 11:19 |
| adughep | Werdna, you must set X11Forwarding=yes in your sshd_config | 11:19 |
| Wayne^ | Xming needs to have X11 forwarding enabled | 11:19 |
| larson9999 | adughep, that enabled me to ssh -Y but not -X. what needs to happen for -X? | 11:20 |
| larson9999 | adughep, oops, wrong distro! | 11:21 |
| adughep | icesword i have root so sudo is not a requirement | 11:21 |
| karuna_bdc | hi whenever i try to go to console mode, alls i get is a blank screen with a blinking underscore? anybody can help me out? | 11:22 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: it appears pretty intuitive to use... | 11:22 |
| Werdna | Wayne^,adughep: Awesome, thanks. | 11:22 |
| icesword | adughep, you know linux 's admin of print is not really good,so i recommend you try google "cancel print task or something? | 11:22 |
| swombat | Does anyone know of a package I could install on my ubuntu box that would allow me to simply send links to it in some way and have it take care of actually downloading the damn things (whether through the web or from bit-torrent), in a queue, without me having to worry about them? | 11:23 |
| adughep | icesword, i did but i found only some bugs ..ok i will try more | 11:23 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, I have a problem whith it, swheni try to connect to a friend server, he don't found the host | 11:23 |
| larson9999 | swombat, links for what? you mean to download the page so you can read it offline? | 11:23 |
| Wayne^ | icesword: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers works to cancel jobs | 11:24 |
| swombat | larson9999: nah... any type of file | 11:24 |
| swombat | apps... mp3s published on a website... | 11:24 |
| icesword | Wayne^, sorry? | 11:24 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: Is the incoming port being blocked by a firewall? | 11:24 |
| larson9999 | swobat sounds like you're looking for a script using wget. | 11:24 |
| swombat | yes | 11:25 |
| swombat | i am | 11:25 |
| swombat | i'm asking if anyone's aware of one | 11:25 |
| Wayne^ | icesword: ahh you were talking to adughep | 11:25 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, We have test and the incoming port was open | 11:25 |
| Werdna | Wayne^: I can't find the properties dialog for Xming. | 11:25 |
| icesword | yes,but sorry,i cannot be of any help | 11:25 |
| karuna_bdc | hi whenever i try to go to console mode, alls i get is a blank screen with a blinking underscore? anybody can help me out? | 11:26 |
| larson9999 | swombat, my recommendation is to check out lottalinuxlinks.com. on one of his shows he talked about such a beast. i copied it and modified it for my needs and it works good. but i'd rather refer you to that vs mine. | 11:26 |
| Wayne^ | 6522 is the default for Gobby, you just get a host not found error? | 11:26 |
| swombat | larson9999: cool, thanks | 11:26 |
| Wayne^ | Werdna: Xming has a context menu on the icon in the systray, as I recall. | 11:26 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, Yes but what can i do ? | 11:26 |
| swombat | is there a written version of it? | 11:26 |
| swombat | sorry nevermind i thought it was a podcast | 11:27 |
| larson9999 | swombat, yeah. look at his podcast archives. | 11:27 |
| larson9999 | swombat, it is a podcast but there are show notes that have the code. | 11:27 |
| Werdna | Wayne^: yes, options are Hide Root Window, View Log, About XMing, Exit | 11:28 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: If you telnet into port 6522 on the host, do you get output like this: obby_welcome:8 | 11:28 |
| DSpair | Mornin' all.. | 11:28 |
| Werdna | Wayne^: I think I've got a restricted version - it came with andLinux | 11:28 |
| Wayne^ | Hmmm.... yeah that's weird, it might be an old version? | 11:29 |
| cool | chat | 11:29 |
| yusuo | hey guys i have a problem | 11:30 |
| karuna_bdc | hi whenever i try to go to console mode, alls i get is a blank screen with a blinking underscore? anybody can help me out? | 11:30 |
| yusuo | ijust updated to 8.04 and one of my packages crashed along the way, now its prompting me to update the package but i cant, i want to remove the package so i stop getting these warning | 11:30 |
| Wayne^ | karuna_bdc: How do you goto console mode? CTRL+ALT+F-key? | 11:30 |
| adughep | karuna_bdc, how you go to console mode ? | 11:30 |
| rabbit- | hi | 11:31 |
| Wayne^ | jinx | 11:31 |
| adughep | is Ctrl+Alt+F6 | 11:31 |
| rabbit- | i currently have XP installed and want to dual boot windows and ubuntu, how can i achieve this? | 11:31 |
| DSpair | karuna_bdc: Sounds like perhaps you are getting the wrong vid_mode for your console. Have you tried booting into recovery mode? If that fixes it, then you need to adjust your grub boot params. | 11:31 |
| josh | anyone know how to tar up only files in a set directory instead of the folders in it ? | 11:31 |
| karuna_bdc | Wayne^: F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 all dont work | 11:31 |
| === cool is now known as ce | ||
| === reZo_ is now known as reZo | ||
| dgjones | yusuo, with you asking about a Hardy problem, you're best bet is to ask in #ubuntu+1 which is where the support is for the Alpha version | 11:31 |
| ce | hay leh knl g? | 11:31 |
| karuna_bdc | DSpair: recovery mode? from grub? | 11:32 |
| dgjones | !dualboot | rabbit- | 11:32 |
| ubotu | rabbit-: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 11:32 |
| DSpair | karuna_bdc: Yeah, when you boot there is an option on the kernel command line which looks like "vga=XXX" and that sets your framebuffer vga mode. You'll need to find a mode that works for your PC. | 11:32 |
| Wayne^ | karuna_bdc: Yeah sounds like bad video settings in grub.conf to me, but you have a flashing cursor only? | 11:33 |
| karuna_bdc | adughep: CTRL ALT F1 | 11:33 |
| ArthurArchnix | karuna_bdc: What version of Ubuntu? | 11:33 |
| adughep | on my ubuntu works fine with ctrl+Alt+F6 | 11:33 |
| ce_airmata | #padang | 11:33 |
| karuna_bdc | Wayne^: it goes blank and theres just a flashing underscore in top left corner | 11:34 |
| DSpair | karuna_bdc: Something else you can try. Try to do a blind login on that cursor screen and see if the cursor moves. | 11:34 |
| Wayne^ | karuna_bdc: it's weird that you would get a flashing cursor but no text... what happens if you start typing? anything happen or refresh? | 11:34 |
| karuna_bdc | ArthurArchnix: 7.10 Gutsy | 11:34 |
| ce_airmata | #jakarta | 11:34 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, what have i to enter in the command line to do this? | 11:34 |
| karuna_bdc | Wayne^: nothing happens, just stays blinking till i CTRL f7 out | 11:34 |
| flowOver | what are those other terminals i stumbled across for? the ones accessed with ctrl+alt+f* | 11:35 |
| karuna_bdc | DSpair: Blind login? sorry im a reall newbie | 11:35 |
| Wayne^ | karuna_bdc: is this a laptop? | 11:35 |
| DSpair | flowOver: It's there incase X Windows fails. | 11:35 |
| adughep | karuna_bdc, you need to press the left Alt+CTRL not the right Alt+Ctrl | 11:35 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: telnet hostname_ip_whatever_goes_here 6522 | 11:36 |
| HSorgYves | morning, i need to use a udev rule to modify the group for the partition where mysql innodb tables will be stored; which id should i give to the rules file? 042? z52? | 11:36 |
| icesword | Wayne^, why the port is 6522 | 11:36 |
| Wayne^ | adughep: right or left works fine for me | 11:37 |
| Wayne^ | icesword: it's default for the Gobby editor | 11:37 |
| karuna_bdc | adughep: thats what i use, left but the blank underscore screen still there no response if i type | 11:37 |
| icesword | k | 11:37 |
| eviking | I've just installed Google Earth in 7.10 : it seems to hang when "initializing".... Any suggestions? | 11:37 |
| DSpair | adughep: On other distros I would have agreed about left and right alt taking you to different virtual consoles, but on Gutsy on my laptop, it makes no difference.... Hmmm . . . I wonder how one would get to VTs above 12 on Gutsy? | 11:37 |
| adughep | Wayne^, I have gusty on my PC and it does not work with right Alt | 11:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | Isn't there a terminal command to change vt's, chvt 1 or something. | 11:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | That might spit out some error messages at least. | 11:38 |
| DSpair | eviking: Change your compiz settings to exclude Google Earth... It cannot deal with the 3D desktop well. | 11:38 |
| === GazzaK is now known as Gary | ||
| eviking | DSpair: Thanks! Could you give me a hint on how to do that ..... | 11:39 |
| oakgrove | I loaded 7.10 on my laptop with the LVM encryption so I have a ~200MB unencrypted boot partition and the rest of the drive is encrypted. My question is, everything is cool now but if this computer goes down and I need to pull the drive out to get the data off of it, how do I unencrypt the partition with another computer? | 11:39 |
| Wayne^ | DSpair: xmodmap to rebind keys. :) | 11:39 |
| DSpair | Wayne^: Hmmm . . . That's a thought. | 11:40 |
| yusuo | hi how would i go about install a program from a tar.gz file | 11:40 |
| Tm_T | !compiling | yusuo | 11:40 |
| ubotu | yusuo: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 11:40 |
| DSpair | eviking: You'll need the compiz manager installed... Wait one and I'll find the package name for you. | 11:40 |
| oakgrove | Is there a command line tool that I can use and just point it at the unencrypted partition? | 11:40 |
| McAbre | is there a command I could run via alt-F2 to start the compiz config manager? | 11:40 |
| eviking | DSpair: ok, I'll wait :) | 11:41 |
| oakgrove | I mean at the encrypted partition | 11:41 |
| Wayne^ | oakgrove: well first, 200mb /boot is probably overkill. :) second, if the HD is put into another machine, you can probably mount the LVM volume using a liveCD | 11:41 |
| credible | McAbre: ccsm | 11:41 |
| McAbre | credible, thanks. =) | 11:41 |
| oakgrove | Do you know what the exact command would be? I am not even sure what the program that does the decryption is called | 11:41 |
| ArthurArchnix | karuna_bdc: Try sudo chvt 1 | 11:41 |
| DSpair | eviking: In Synaptic or using aptitude, install the package "compizconfig-settings-manager". Once installed, you will have an entry under "System->Preferences" for "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings" | 11:42 |
| DSpair | My god.... iTunes is SO dead now that Amazon's downloader for Linux is out... The music cheaper, better selection, and faster to download.... I love it!!! | 11:42 |
| karuna_bdc | ArthurArchnix: i still get the blinking underscore, maybe its a package i installed do you think? | 11:43 |
| vedat | salut | 11:43 |
| mattycoze | DSpair take it to offtopic | 11:43 |
| ArthurArchnix | So no error messages then? | 11:43 |
| ArthurArchnix | karuna_bdc: Did you add any options to your grub line, like vga = 791 or something? | 11:44 |
| Wayne^ | oakgrove: it would be hard the first time around, undoubtedly. | 11:44 |
| DSpair | mattycoze: Sorry, I was just overly excited. I'll stay on-topic. | 11:44 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, When i test this line i don't have obby_welcome:8 | 11:44 |
| karuna_bdc | ArthurArchnix: yeah i did, is that the problem? | 11:44 |
| yusuo | plz can someone just talk me through this i keep on getting errors when i run ./configure | 11:44 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: what do you get? | 11:44 |
| DSpair | Well, have a good morning all, off to work I go... | 11:45 |
| Yoshi | i do : telnet ip_of_my_friend 6522 | 11:45 |
| eviking | DSpair: I got it. It seems a bit overwhelming. Where can I exclude programs from Compiz? | 11:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | karuna_bdc: Probably. It's a bug in Gutsy. There's a workaround, but the simplest fix is to remove that vga=791. Reboot, edit the boot line, and see if it fixes it. | 11:45 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: ok perfect | 11:45 |
| LockeVendetta | hi, does anyone knows howto configure a Genius Keyboard? more precisly a LuxeMate 300? i'm having problems with the NumLock Keys | 11:45 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: what output do you get after that? | 11:46 |
| karuna_bdc | ArthurArchnix: ahh, ok thanks alot man, ill try that | 11:46 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, But it tell me only trying to connect ip_of_my_friend | 11:46 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: Do you get an error after that? | 11:46 |
| Cube107 | does ubunto support wireless internet ? | 11:46 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: It should time out after awhile and then give an error | 11:47 |
| dgjones | !wireless | Cube107, Yes, although some wireless cards are easier to use than others | 11:47 |
| ubotu | Cube107, Yes, although some wireless cards are easier to use than others: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 11:47 |
| Cube107 | ok | 11:48 |
| adughep | Cube107, it support but only couple of driver | 11:48 |
| Cube107 | i'm currently downloading ubuntu now just checking beforehand thats all | 11:49 |
| adughep | i suggest you use a windows driver combined with ndiswrapper | 11:49 |
| Cube107 | i use Unwired | 11:49 |
| Veon | ciao! | 11:49 |
| ArthurArchnix | karuna_bdc: Still there? | 11:49 |

| emgent | Veon, please switch to #ubuntu-it | 11:50 |
| yusuo | everytime i try and download a tar.bz2 file and get round to compiling it gives me an error while im doing ./configure any ideas anyone | 11:50 |
| Wayne^ | yusuo: what's the error | 11:50 |
| neville | Mine is connected to a wired router, which connects to every other computer | 11:50 |
| Veon | oh sry | 11:51 |
| Veon | tnk | 11:51 |
| neville | And Kubuntu/Ubuntu detected it just fine, and ran with it | 11:51 |
| yusuo | checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables | 11:51 |
| adughep | Cube107, this depends on what wireless card you have ,, if is supported by ubuntu is ok if not use a windows driver with ndiswrapper | 11:51 |
| yusuo | any help wayne | 11:51 |
| adughep | not all the wireless cards are supported | 11:51 |
| Wayne^ | yusuo: sudo apt-get install build-essentials | 11:51 |
| Cube107 | ok | 11:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | karuna_bdc: Here's the workaround: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3593878&postcount=8 But don't do that until you've confirmed that the problem is the additional line in your grub menu.lst | 11:51 |
| Yoshi | Wayne^, it tell me : telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out | 11:51 |
| neville | It's a wireless Modemm, right Cube107? | 11:51 |
| adughep | yusuo, use at CFLAGS -fPIC | 11:51 |
| neville | That white, tacky looking thing? | 11:51 |
| yusuo | apparently package doesnt exist | 11:51 |
| eviking | I need to disable Google Earth from Compiz. I have installed Advanced Desktop Effect Settings. Any suggestions to what to do next? | 11:52 |
| karuna_bdc | ArthurArchnix: yeah, need to get school project off net, will restart once done, thanks alot! | 11:52 |
| Wayne^ | Sorry yusuo: build-essential | 11:52 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: There is a problem connecting to port 6522 on the host PC | 11:52 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: Could be a firewall, or maybe they aren't hosting a session. | 11:53 |
| Wayne^ | Yoshi: or maybe they're hosting on another port. | 11:53 |

| Chowderhawk | Any idea how to fix it? | 12:09 |
| mohamed | i need some clarifications | 12:09 |
| mohamed | how to find /dev/sdb2 | 12:09 |
| flowOver | VM's, Java, Flash, Movies, Compiz, everything going. no halts or nothing like i've had all week. good times | 12:09 |
| humbolto | is there something like top for HDD access, so I can track which process is causing all this HDD traffic? | 12:09 |
| Wayne^ | Chowderhawk: what firmware are you running? | 12:09 |
| Skiessi | mohamed, for what? | 12:10 |
| mohamed | i want to mount my external hdd | 12:10 |
| Chowderhawk | 1.1.2 | 12:10 |
| mohamed | it says no directory something like that | 12:10 |
| Skiessi | it's sometimes named /dev/hdb2 | 12:10 |
| mohamed | ok i will give a try | 12:11 |
| Skiessi | at least it was, I'm not sure | 12:11 |
| Wayne^ | Chowderhawk: i would try to install a terminal on the ipod and i would chmod /dev/console to make sure root has ability to access it | 12:11 |
| geirha | mohamed: sudo fdisk -l # can you identify it from that list? | 12:11 |
| Chowderhawk | Hmmm, alright. | 12:11 |
| Skiessi | or you can find the real dev path thing with 'lshw' | 12:11 |
| Werdna | is there an easy way to check if an x connection is working from one machine to another? | 12:11 |
| Werdna | like an xping command, or something? | 12:11 |
| Skiessi | umm true fdisk might be better | 12:12 |
| Oli`` | Does anybody here have a wopping massive screen that uses a dual-DVI link? | 12:12 |
| mohamed | ok skiessi i typed /dev/hdb2 it says same thing no such file or directory | 12:12 |
| mohamed | ok let me try fdisk | 12:12 |
| Chowderhawk | I have to go, Thanks for this Wayne. | 12:12 |
| Wayne^ | Chowderhawk: it might be something like this too.... chown -R root:wheel /dev/console | 12:12 |
| Skiessi | "<geirha> mohamed: sudo fdisk -l # can you identify it from that list?" | 12:12 |
| mohamed | ok let me try this | 12:12 |
| mohamed | ok it shows list of options /dev/hda | 12:13 |
| adughep | mohamed, sometiems is not d/ev/sdb2 ..are you sure that /dev/sdb2 exists ??? do sudo fdisk -l to show you the /dev/sd* available | 12:13 |
| mohamed | /dev/sdc | 12:13 |
| mohamed | /dev/eda | 12:13 |
| adughep | or run fdisk -l as root | 12:14 |
| mohamed | if i type fdisk -l it shows only internal disk with /dev/sda1 | 12:14 |

| Slart | nickthorley: and 7.10 has been out.. well.. what is it. a couple of months? I think they release once every 5 months or so | 13:07 |
| nickthorley | ok thanks all | 13:07 |
| onexused | Slart: Okay. What command would I need to restore iptables? I set them up using firestarter, and currently I have to run it manually to restore them. | 13:07 |
| nickthorley | I am not new to linux but been a fedora fan until now so just trying to get into the "schedule" of ubuntu | 13:07 |
| Slart | onexused: ah.. you're using firestarter.. isn't that functionality built-in?... I think there is a iptables-save command.. and a iptables-restore command.. you might want to check those out | 13:08 |

| Slart | Viper111: it doesn't know what your computers fully qualified hostname is.. something it can use to look it up on the internet.. but I don't know why it feels that a fqdn is neccessary.. hence the FATAL | 13:15 |
| nickthorley | slart: thanks also | 13:15 |
| ManuP | openros, is the /mnt/ dir empty? | 13:15 |
| Slart | you're welcome | 13:15 |
| openros | yes | 13:15 |
| Slart | Viper111: it's probably a setting in the config file.. search for fqdn or fully qualified domain name in the man pages | 13:15 |
| ManuP | openros, good. do the following: sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt /dev/sdaX is your Drive on which grup should install | 13:16 |

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

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+) | 13:35 |

| OmSys_ | hi i am having problem installing 7.10 | 14:08 |
| OmSys_ | help | 14:08 |
| tomd123 | ask the question | 14:08 |
| OmSys_ | i started installation the ubuntu bar loaded | 14:09 |
| OmSys_ | after that it freezed | 14:09 |
| OmSys_ | and the cd is stuck inside | 14:09 |
| OmSys_ | i waited for about 1/2 an hour | 14:09 |
| dgjones | nickthorley, my normal laptop is 8 years old, it only has 32mb of video ram so its able to use it with no problems generally, a newer laptop I use doesn't have any problems as that uses shares memory for the graphics card | 14:09 |
| zackyramone | when i run WoW from terminal it says that 3d accelaration was unable to start...can anyone help me? | 14:10 |
| OmSys_ | when i pressed ctl+alt+del it gave msg XServer failed to work | 14:10 |
| nickthorley | dgjones: ok mine should be fine then - is it easy to switch off or does it replace the default gnome system | 14:10 |
| OmSys_ | when i pressed ctl+alt+del it gave msg XServer failed to work | 14:10 |
| OmSys_ | what to do??? | 14:10 |
| OmSys_ | pls help | 14:10 |
| dgjones | nickthorley, as long as your desktop effects is switched on, its easy to use, you just start or stop the application as needed | 14:10 |
| Guest | Have a question about Ubuntu booting from a USB flash drive...... | 14:10 |
| tomd123 | omsys, choose safe graphics mode in the options menu in the beginning when the cd boots | 14:11 |
| OmSys_ | yea i did | 14:11 |
| robn | OmSys_: are you using the livecd or the Alternate CD? | 14:11 |
| OmSys_ | still it got stuck at the same place after displaying running script frm /etc/rc.script | 14:11 |
| nickthorley | dgjones: so do you have to logout after starting the app? | 14:11 |
| OmSys_ | i m using ivecd | 14:11 |
| OmSys_ | livecd | 14:11 |
| jess | can anyone reccomend a good ubuntu vps provider? | 14:12 |
| AfroRowan | no | 14:12 |
| OmSys_ | i waited for around 1/2 an hour | 14:12 |
| robn | might be worth trying the Alternate CD snce it doesnt rely on grafix to install. | 14:12 |
| OmSys_ | still no progress | 14:12 |
| zackyramone | can anyone help me get 3d aceleration working??? | 14:12 |
| dgjones | nickthorley, no, its just the same as any other app, start it, it runs, close it, its finished and exits | 14:12 |
| nickthorley | dgjones: i am unsure how it can start as an app when it replaces the whole menu bar at the bottom doesnt it? | 14:13 |
| OmSys_ | ok i ll try using the alternate cd....ne advices on that btw? | 14:13 |
| OmSys_ | i never used it b4 | 14:13 |
| nickthorley | i thought you would have to select it was a different window system - gnome, kde, awn etc | 14:13 |
| robn | not yet, just see how the install goes and then we might be able to edit your xorg settings through a console screen | 14:13 |
| OmSys_ | i have a motherboard having 256mb inbuilt gfx is it causing trouble? | 14:14 |
| robn | alternate CD is fairly self explanatory, i personally prefer it to Livecd | 14:14 |
| dgjones | nickthorley, not on mine, i think you have to set your menu bars not to show if you don't want them, I've left mine switched on, or set to autohide | 14:14 |
| robn | OmSys_: shouldnt do no, may just be identifying the grafix chip incorrectly and loading the wrong driver | 14:14 |
| nickthorley | dgjones@ oh ok so the awn just loads a new menu bar and then leaves you to sort out the old bars - i see - thanks | 14:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | zackyramone, Did you try to enable restricted drivers from the pull down menus | 14:30 |
| simion314 | if you refer at the tar archive | 14:30 |
| IndyGunFreak | simion314: ok, like i said, download the official source code, opena terminal, and "sudo apt-get build-dep mono" no quotes | 14:30 |

| zackyramone | Jack_Sparrow: how do i do that? | 14:35 |

| dgjones | zippytech_, sudo shutdown -h now | 14:37 |
| zippytech_ | not reboot but shutdown | 14:37 |
| IndyGunFreak | simion314: no, its installing dependencies for mono(build-dep) in the repositories, mst likely, the new version of mono has the same dependencies... so install the dependencies, then download the source tar file from wherever you're getting it, and try to compile it again | 14:37 |
| dgjones | zippytech_, the -h is a hard shutdown, if you use -r instead, that would reboot | 14:37 |
| zippytech_ | i have 60 computers that i want to be able to shut off at night remotely | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zackyramone, Live without 3d or a fresh install of ubuntu or you can try cloneing packages then fresh install and restore packages.. none are a good solution.. WHich again, is why we tell people not to use it | 14:38 |
| zackyramone | ohh crap | 14:38 |
| mfolnovich | anyone ? | 14:38 |
| zackyramone | Jack_Sparrow: i guess ill have to live without 3d and without WoW | 14:38 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mfolnovich, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome is a basic how to | 14:39 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: then you should be good at it | 14:39 |

| mfolnovich | Jack_Sparrow: tnx | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nick_, Check on how your video card / drivers are installed | 14:41 |
| IndyGunFreak | nick_: you probably need to install your graphics drivers | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mfolnovich, np | 14:41 |
| nick_ | they are installed you think i should uninstall then reinstall? | 14:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nick_, What card | 14:42 |
| dgjones | nick_, which graphics card? sometimes you need to install xserver-xgl | 14:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | nick_: what card and how did you install them? | 14:42 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: hey, but if i install the proprietary driver of my card will 3d be enabled? | 14:42 |
| danand | zippytech_ - try clusterssh to allow easy management of all those machines | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zackyramone, not likely | 14:42 |
| nick_ | nvidia 7300 gt | 14:42 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: i would think so, but i'm not 100% sure, what card again? | 14:42 |
| nick_ | and the update which installed them | 14:42 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: nvidia geforce4 | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak, HE already used envy | 14:43 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: zackyramone i was talking about after a clean install using the prop driver... at this point zackyramone your system is likely hosed, you need to reinstall | 14:44 |
| Skiessi | !info nvidia-glx-legacy | 14:44 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: but after the reinstall, the prop driver, i would imagine, it would work fine | 14:44 |
| ubotu | nvidia-glx-legacy (source: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (2.6.22.4-14.10)): NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' driver. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.0.7185+2.6.22.4-14.10 (gutsy), package size 2993 kB, installed size 9780 kB | 14:44 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: but why is envy so bad cause the guys at #wine told me to use envy | 14:44 |
| Skiessi | I think there should be a better description | 14:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Skiessi: which begs the question, why he used Envy in the first place | 14:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: well, the guys at wine aren't very bright apparentl | 14:45 |
| Skiessi | :o | 14:45 |
| Skiessi | ok | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zackyramone, Asking Windows people for help with Ubuntu.. not the best choice | 14:45 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: Jack_Sparrow: yeah i guess so | 14:45 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: shouldn't he have jsut been able to enable that card in restricted driver?. its not very new. | 14:46 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: yeah but then WoW would crash just before it opens giving me a fatal error, but after i installed the driver from envy it didnt give me the same error | 14:47 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: and what led you to believe this was a driver error, and not a Wine error? | 14:47 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: :S i dunno | 14:48 |
| IndyGunFreak | exactly | 14:48 |

| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: so if i install the driver from the repo it shopuld work after the clean install? | 14:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: again, one would think so.. what model geforce card is it | 14:49 |
| karmagurl | I will just read for now and ask my question when others are answered. | 14:49 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: geforce 4 mx something | 14:49 |
| IndyGunFreak | cuz i run a 7900 which isn't very new, but not very old, and it runs fine. | 14:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: in a terminal, "lspci" no quotes, and see how it identifies your video card | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak, Sorry had to do a honey-do.. Enabling restricted driver should be all that is needed.. but often people think there is something more when they look for performance under wine | 14:50 |
| snarkster | hi guys, im new gnome, is there a double pane filemanager that I can get, I need to move some files around | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak, 6600 here | 14:50 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: yep... its calling a brain surgeon to clip your toenails | 14:51 |
| karmagurl | My question is rather complicated....I'm trying to set up and run an internet radio station-- one already established. | 14:51 |
| karmagurl | havent had any success with DarkIce/DarkSnow or MuSE | 14:51 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: a lot of words showed up i dunno what they mean | 14:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snarkster, I open two file managers side by side. I prefer Thunar.. but any will work | 14:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: look through there, and see how it identifies your video card. | 14:51 |
| IndyGunFreak | it shouldn't be that difficult to find | 14:51 |
| snarkster | ah, and I need to do it as root cause its a protected folder. | 14:52 |
| zackyramone | nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000] (rev c1) is this it? | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snarkster, Personally if I want gui file manager as root I gksudo thunar | 14:52 |
| snarkster | zackyramone: yup | 14:52 |
| IndyGunFreak | looks like it | 14:53 |
| snarkster | thank you | 14:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | zackyramone: so yes, that card is fairly old, one would imagine that restricted driver should run it fine | 14:53 |
| karmagurl | Is there a simple way to set either up and make it work? (XMMS with Darksnow/DarkIce--using shoutcast?) | 14:53 |
| IndyGunFreak | snarkster: or if you don't have thunar installed, gksudo nautilus | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak, But that is a legacy, low end.. setup | 14:54 |
| jess | can someone provide me some information i can RTFM for trust relationships between an ubuntu machine and, say, FreeBSD? | 14:54 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: ok... so what would be the better choice? disable the restricted, and download the driver from nvidia? | 14:54 |
| zackyramone | IndyGunFreak: Jack_Sparrow: thanks for the help guys im up for a new install :-/ | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | snarkster, Please use gksudo nautilus with EXTREME caution... | 14:54 |
| karmagurl | hrm | 14:55 |
| snarkster | Jack_Sparrow: yes I will.. its my old user files. | 14:55 |
| mfolnovich | anyone ? | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | IndyGunFreak, I doubt he will get the 3d gaming under wine he is looking for with that card. | 14:55 |
| snarkster | Ive been running kubuntu for awhile.. just wanted to try out the real thing | 14:55 |
| karmagurl | Is there a simple way to set up XMMS w/Darksnow/Darkice with Shoutcast so I can broadcast to my internet radio station? | 14:55 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jack_Sparrow: that was gonna be my next suggestion, that card is likely underpowered to run WoW | 14:55 |
| karmagurl | Im running Ubuntu 7,04 | 14:55 |

| Jack_Sparrow | mfolnovich, Are you trying to keep your old home or did you fromat it with the nesw install | 15:00 |
| holoduke | what kind of problem do you have karmagurl? | 15:00 |
| mfolnovich | Jack_sparrow: old home, but that has nothing to do with this ... :P | 15:00 |
| karmagurl | Holoduke, I will post it once again here. I am trying to run XMMS with Darksnow/Darkice w/Shoutcast to link up to my internet radio station -- streaming MP3s. | 15:00 |
| karmagurl | No success in installation whatsoever. | 15:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | mfolnovich, Glad you are so sure of that.. I couldn't be | 15:01 |
| === _weltall is now known as weltall | ||
| holoduke | hmm but what is exactly your problem. where does it fails? | 15:01 |
| karmagurl | Holoduke, Darksnow keeps asking for more packages, without end. | 15:01 |
| karmagurl | like we cannot find all its dependencies | 15:01 |
| karmagurl | after 48 hours of screwing around with it, we finally gave up | 15:02 |
| holoduke | hmm | 15:02 |
| blood | jack, am i screwed? | 15:02 |
| mfolnovich | Jack_Sparrow: I'm 100% sure, because I haven't mounted that partition as /home yet ... :P | 15:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | most of the time you can install most build dependencies through e.g. sudo apt-get build-dep app | 15:03 |
| holoduke | so you are trying to set up a stream service | 15:03 |
| karmagurl | Right, I understand that- but it appears that Darksnow doesnt want to cooperate. and we have uninstalled - reinstalled it several times. | 15:03 |
| snarkster | thanx for your help Jack_Sparrow | 15:03 |
| snarkster | later guys | 15:03 |
| karmagurl | holoduke, yes | 15:03 |
| karmagurl | Holoduke, yes I am attempting to stream my music to an already established station. | 15:04 |
| karmagurl | as I am Chief DJ | 15:04 |
| holoduke | hmm and streamtuner? | 15:04 |
| holoduke | nevermind | 15:04 |
| karmagurl | working with Shoutcast. | 15:05 |
| karmagurl | First time Ive had problems installing a program like this. | 15:05 |
| Vegancheesesteak | good morning all. i think my harddrive on my ubuntu box may be failing...it is requesting i run fsck manually. should i use the ubuntu rescue disc or something like the ultimate boot disc? | 15:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | karmagurl, Have you installed it in any other Debian based systems | 15:06 |
| karmagurl | Jack, no this is a first- my husband has been using Ubuntu for years, and even he cannot get it installed. | 15:06 |
| stevecasper | any1 know of some sites that have step by step guides on making awesome looking desktops..im using gutsy | 15:07 |
| karmagurl | which is why IM here | 15:07 |
| karmagurl | *LOL* | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vegancheesesteak, Livecd should be fine.. just make sure it is not mounted when you run it | 15:07 |
| typhoon07 | hi | 15:07 |
| Roooty | Hi, will the ipod classics be fully supported on hardy heron? | 15:07 |
| Vegancheesesteak | Jack_Sparrow: so just select rescue a broken system from the boot menu? | 15:08 |
| typhoon07 | im trying to install a program netbeans, the download is a .sh file and according to the website it should bring up a gui installer but it wont run. any ideas? | 15:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | karmagurl, chasing dependencies for progrmas outside repos can be a problem. | 15:08 |
| dgjones | Roooty, its probably worth asking in #ubuntu+1, thats the channel for queries about out, they're more likely to have an answer for you | 15:08 |
| karmagurl | Jack, so Ive seen....ARGH!!! | 15:08 |
| Vegancheesesteak | Jack_Sparrow: i should also mention this is 6.06 lts server | 15:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Vegancheesesteak, start with livecd to a desktop and try fsck like you wanted to runin the first place | 15:08 |
| Roooty | dgjones: Thanks | 15:08 |

| oxigen | hi, i dont have 'Look and Feel' in Preferences, which .deb do i need to install? | 15:10 |
| karmagurl | so I guess its a no win situation with it. I hear it can be done, but I gather not by me *L* | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | karmagurl, but did you try to build dependencies through e.g. sudo apt-get build-dep app | 15:10 |
| karmagurl | Yes I did | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | karmagurl, and? | 15:10 |
| pfroberts | hey. anyone having power management problems on Ubuntu 7.10? | 15:11 |

| pfroberts | yeah. i've heard about acpi problems...anyone know how to fix them?? | 15:13 |
| karmagurl | Jack, mostly it has to do with the LAME libs....grrrrrrr it doesn't want to recognize them even though they are installed. | 15:13 |

| kushykush | Frusp. i have a Asus Sata DVD player that analog cable is not required. it works fine under Windows | 15:18 |

| Lartza_ | how can i play mpg on mplayer? | 15:20 |
| kushykush | why is an audio driver so difficult to install in Ubuntu gutsy | 15:20 |
| _Oz_ | Jack_Sparrow: ahhhhh | 15:20 |

| _Oz_ | iDivine: if you haven't tried that yet, sure | 15:21 |
| iDivine | _Oz_, Or go with mPlayer. | 15:21 |
| iDivine | |ozk. | 15:21 |

| Lartza_ | is mplayer more lightweight than totem? | 15:28 |
| stanis_sh | Lartza sure thing | 15:28 |
| Lartza_ | what about vlc vs mplayer? | 15:28 |
| Soulsublime | Jack_Sparrow, I've tried noapic and nolapic as well as acpi=off, and it didnt help | 15:29 |
| Soulsublime | I cant recall which, but one of those messages is with those lines | 15:29 |
| Soulsublime | i mean photos | 15:29 |
| Lartza_ | is vlc more lightweight than mplayer? | 15:29 |

| Mez | Roooty, I can't think of a program speficically for that straight away, but amarok's "Organise media" functuon does it quite nicely well | 15:30 |

| Lartza_ | is there program to stream video with vlc (like totem-mozilla and mozilla-mplayer) | 15:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Soulsublime, HAve you tried the alternate text cd | 15:30 |
| Soulsublime | I believe I did | 15:30 |

| Lartza_ | is there program to stream video with vlc (like totem-mozilla and mozilla-mplayer)? | 15:31 |
| Soulsublime | Let me put it in as much detail as I can | 15:31 |
| dgjones | Roooty, you could try Easytag, its not fully automatic, but you can use it to rename based on the mp3's id tag by selecting all the files in a folder etc | 15:31 |
| Roooty | dgjones: Thanks, problem is the tags have funny characters in them, so the names do too, that's my situation right now. | 15:32 |
| geirha | Soulsublime: Have you run a memory test? | 15:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Soulsublime, mostly motherboard and video... info on any non standard keyboards or mice like bluetooth etc | 15:32 |
| dgjones | Roooty, right I can see how that will make Easytag a non-starter for you | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | geirha, good point | 15:33 |
| Soulsublime | geirha, I have | 15:33 |

| Lartza_ | or use sudo | 15:43 |
| hwilde | !sudo | Codenut_ | 15:43 |
| Codenut_ | How do I su in a gui? | 15:43 |
| ubotu | Codenut_: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 15:43 |
| jpatrick | Codenut_: sudo -s | 15:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 15:43 |
| ubotu | If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 15:43 |
| Lartza_ | Codenut: no way | 15:43 |
| Lartza_ | never just use sudo? | 15:44 |

| smrik` | Hello, I'd like to install ubuntu without using a cd drive, i've read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux but after booting up the line "kjournald starting." appears multiple times(kernel and initrd load up fine, extracted from iso to a fat32 partition), and i get thrown into a busy box terminal. Trying to mount -o loop -t squashfs the image in casper/ and trying to chroot into it freezes the laptop completely... Any | 15:50 |
| smrik` | one could hint me what I'm doing wrong?(Sorry for the long message) | 15:50 |
| coverup | Lartza_: unlikely, it's been sitting on my desk and not moving - it happens after bittorrent hangs the system and i have to hard reboot | 15:50 |
| coverup | then it is next to impossible to get wireless working | 15:51 |

| antilpn | some one know if it is possible to: ssh -R 21:*:21 user@host ? | 15:56 |
| erUSUL | der|kunstler: cat /proc/cpuinfo ? cpufreq applet? | 15:56 |
| Sarah | Greetings. I'm having some trouble burning dvds. Whether I use the GUI tool or run growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdd=myIsoFile.iso -- the system will just stand and wait for a bit, then growisofs utilizes all cpu for a minute, and then it ends. The DVD does not appear to have had its content changed at all. | 15:56 |
| der|kunstler | joeytwiddle, erUSUL thanks guys :) | 15:56 |
| joeytwiddle | antilpn, my man page says yes | 15:57 |
| dundel | smrik: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/sn-installing-from-harddrive.html it must be similar to ubuntu | 15:57 |
| der|kunstler | where can I see the Ghz | 15:57 |
| bastid_raZor | ubuntufreak; try update-grub and see if that found the other install. that should have an effect on your menu.lst | 15:57 |
| erUSUL | Sarah: why do you use -dvd-compat to burn a iso file? | 15:57 |
| antilpn | joeytwiddle, are you shoure the "*" is workin | 15:57 |
| Sarah | erUSUL: I shouldn't? | 15:57 |
| joeytwiddle | no0tic, sorry antilpn, my manpage says something different from what i thought i read | 15:58 |
| nbkr | der|kunstler, Try cat /proc/cpuinfo | 15:58 |
| joeytwiddle | oh damn nick completion! | 15:58 |
| stanis_sh | what is the way to convert html -> rtf? | 15:58 |
| no0tic | joeytwiddle, eheh :) | 15:58 |
| erUSUL | Sarah: -dvd-compat is for DVD video disks afaik... anyway can you see anything wrong on the logs /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog ? | 15:58 |
| nbkr | stanis_sh, Try OpenOffice Writer. | 15:58 |
| antilpn | joeytwiddle, ok | 15:58 |
| stanis_sh | It can't open the page. | 15:59 |
| Sarah | erUSUL: I'll check, hang on | 15:59 |
| der|kunstler | nbkr, yeah, did... I got it thanks, but the thing is... I have a QuadCore running @ 2.4 each core, I enabled speedstep and now I'm running all of them at 600Mhz, heh | 15:59 |
| joeytwiddle | it says you can use "*" in the bind_address, but nothing about the host =/ | 15:59 |
| ubuntufreak | bastid_raZor: did that but the menu.lst doesn't change | 15:59 |
| joeytwiddle | the problem is with your "*", how will it know which host to connect to?! | 15:59 |
| der|kunstler | it's being underclocked | 15:59 |
| mavi- | der|kunstler: they increase when its needed | 15:59 |
| mavi- | der|kunstler: thats what speedstep is | 15:59 |
| der|kunstler | mavi-, thank god, since I was getting worried at idle temps at 44C, now it's at 36C | 15:59 |
| der|kunstler | mavi-, it's safe for the processor right ? | 15:59 |
| mavi- | sure | 15:59 |
| der|kunstler | mavi-, and I suppose that's the purpose of the CPUFreq applet | 16:00 |

| iDivine | neverblue, Well, I'm trying to remove the totem plugins. And yes I have,why?... | 16:22 |
| ubotu | iDivine: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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) | 16:22 |
| LjL | Antkin, you already know what's the right channel for this sort of issues. | 16:22 |
| neverblue | iDivine, mind posting your command line commands/errors ? | 16:23 |
| iDivine | "Cannot move "/usr/lib/moz...p-plugin.so" to the trash because you do not have permissions to change it or its parent folder." | 16:23 |

| Al-Hur | Hi. I have an exe file that can be run with no setup necessary. I want to run it in Linux. Whats the easiest way? | 17:23 |
| fabio | wine | 17:23 |
| Cyntrox | genii: That didn't work... I think it tried to run it in bash or something, because it yelled at me that I used unknown commands. However, it worked when I, instead of just giving the terminal the script name, gave it "python <script name>" | 17:23 |
| erUSUL | Al-Hur: use wine | 17:23 |
| fabio | but if it's a .net executable you need mono | 17:23 |
| fabio | mono spyware.exe or wine malware.exe | 17:24 |
| genii | Cyntrox: Usually ./filename will decide from the #! /binary/name what to use to run it. You can force python by python ./filename ot python /ful/pathname/filename | 17:24 |
| Al-Hur | Will wine run it easily, no problems? | 17:24 |
| fabio | most of the time | 17:25 |
| erUSUL | Al-Hur: depends on the program check appdb.winehq.org | 17:25 |
| fabio | lot of .exe are supported by wine | 17:26 |

| Cyntrox | Does Ubuntu come with some sort of built-in firewall or something similar that could be disrupting my attempts at making a TCP connection over LAN? It works in Windows... Or is there some difference between networking in Python in Windows and Ubuntu? | 17:26 |
| maj | or is it my disk? | 17:26 |
| shival | plz tell me | 17:26 |
| Pici | !firewall | Cyntrox | 17:26 |
| ubotu | Cyntrox: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 17:27 |

| joeytwiddle | maj, maybe you can run it in verbose mode (-v?), so it will show you its progress ^^ | 17:28 |
| bastid_raZor | zossso; #nvidia might be able to help | 17:28 |

| muchacho | AstorZZZ ok thats what i am afraid of | 17:44 |
| murlidhar | Juhaz: there is also one problem | 17:44 |

| lukasz | I would like to know how I can enable caching in /dev/sdb | 18:12 |

| napsy_ | How can I enable animations for clearlooks theme? | 18:40 |
| SimplySeth | bod_: install MySQL administrator and blow away the databas :) | 18:40 |
| SimplySeth | napsy_: install compiz ? | 18:40 |
| zanis | come on, this is critical! | 18:41 |
| napsy_ | no I want the progressbar animations | 18:41 |
| bod_ | SimplySeth, i have 0 experience with MySQL databses,. is it easy or not? | 18:41 |
| murlidhar | fabio: is my swap of 996mb necessary? | 18:41 |
| zanis | i click a few times on GNOME desktop, and it restarts desktop environment! | 18:41 |
| fabio | you can eti the theme | 18:41 |
| bod_ | napsy_, do you mean when your boting? | 18:41 |
| zanis | (like ctrl+alt-backspace) | 18:41 |
| SimplySeth | bod_: that's why I said "install MySQL Administrator" so you can have a purdy pointy clicky interface :) | 18:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | murlidhar, Best to leave it there .. yes | 18:41 |
| === zosso is now known as zossso | ||
| fabio | just go to /usr/share/theme | 18:42 |
| napsy_ | bod_: I mean the gnome clearlooks theme | 18:42 |
| fabio | you need to edit the gtkrc file | 18:42 |
| fabio | yes | 18:42 |
| napsy_ | where's that | 18:42 |
| fabio | the swap is ok, but you can change the way the kernel uses it | 18:42 |
| bod_ | SimplySeth, so the admin thing is bod proof? cool, il check it out cheers -- 1 more thing,. will the admin tool know where the amarok database is or will i have to tell it (if so, where is it by default?) | 18:42 |
| murlidhar | Jack_Sparrow: would that not affect me in performance. | 18:42 |
| SimplySeth | bod_: it gives you a list of "schemas" .. choose the amarok "schema" | 18:43 |
| murlidhar | Jack_Sparrow: cuz i think my XP boots faster. | 18:43 |
| fabio | wm.swappiness will give the kernel a rule | 18:43 |

| bod_ | ;~) | 18:43 |
| Grab | i typed crontab my_file, now how do i edti crontab? using crontab -e or just editing the file my_file manually with a text editor? | 18:43 |
| SimplySeth | Grab: crontab -e ? | 18:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | murlidhar, Boot ime is a relative issue. a few seconds either way based on my configuration makes little difference to me | 18:44 |
| Grab | simplexio when i try to save it with nano, it prompts me to save the crontab in another folder..... | 18:44 |
| Stormx2 | How can I find out which package owns a specific file? | 18:45 |
| murlidhar | Jack_Sparrow: then how i do i make it faster. | 18:45 |
| kwajstabo | where can i find NFS client for browsing network folders (synaptic managers shows it is already installed but i cant find it) | 18:45 |
| Stormx2 | Wait, got it | 18:45 |
| fabio | dpkg -S | 18:45 |
| geirha | Grab: It should be saved as the file nano suggests. cron will syntax check it before adding it | 18:45 |
| fabio | dpkg -S that file : | 18:46 |
| * SimplySeth makes a mental note of dpkg -S | 18:46 | |
| Grab | geirha but nano tells me to save it to tmp dir ??!?!?! | 18:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | murlidhar, No idea... Like I said a minute ago, I dont see much difference between the teo. If you have changed or added much to the base install I would look at that for a start | 18:46 |
| simplexio | Grab: yes it does taht | 18:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Grab, are you using sudo nano ? | 18:47 |
| simplexio | Grab: and it works | 18:47 |
| Grab | jack-desktop no | 18:47 |
| Grab | Jack_Sparrow no | 18:47 |
| murlidhar | Jack_Sparrow: i just removed the splash | 18:47 |
| simplexio | Grab: assuming that you are using crontab -e , default EDITOR=nano | 18:47 |
| SimplySeth | what Desktop Mgr is lighter than XFCE ? | 18:47 |
| murlidhar | Jack_Sparrow: and some services too | 18:47 |
| fabio | dpkg -S /etc/init.d/rc (use the full path) | 18:47 |
| geirha | Grab: yes, crontab told nano to save it there, and when it detects that the file has been saved, it will check the syntax and add it to your crontab | 18:47 |
| brobostigon | SimplySeth: enlightenment is lighter | 18:48 |
| SimplySeth | brobostigon: wow .. haven't seen enlightenment in ages .. okay then .. thanks | 18:48 |
| fabio | enilghtenment isn't a proper desktop | 18:48 |

| SimplySeth | gnuskool: yeah that's a wm not a dm .. but thanks :) | 18:49 |
| fabio | aclocal ? | 18:49 |
| Grab | gebeleizis simplexio Jack_Sparrow: my crontab file is stored in /home/grab/crontab, but when i type: crontab -e, nano is saving the file into: File: /tmp/crontab.iRf82g/crontab | 18:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | murlidhar, You may have deleted something it is looking for or is trying to use and eventually timing out. Without specifics from you that is about as much info as I have other than maybe trying dmesg | grep ee | 18:50 |
| murlidhar | Jack_Sparrow: k will do that and tell u | 18:50 |
| fabio | aclocal should make the .m4 files you need | 18:50 |

| Ianman | k thanks SimplySeth | 19:08 |
| SimplySeth | Ianman: and one thing I noticed that's a lil weird about ubuntu fstab is the UUID stuff .. you get that string from 'blkid' command | 19:09 |
| Ianman | ah ok...was wondering about that! | 19:09 |
| murlidhar | fabio: and the temp thing? | 19:09 |
| soundray | johnquinn85: maybe your fan trip points are just set high, in which case running cpuburn should make them turn on within seconds. However, if there's really something wrong (and you have an old system), cpuburn may wreck your CPU. | 19:09 |
| SimplySeth | Ianman: .. hope that helps :) | 19:09 |
| soundray | johnquinn85: go for the tuxmobil.org site first | 19:09 |
| Ianman | SimplySeth, should do | 19:09 |

| murlidhar | fabio: how did u do that | 19:10 |

| murlidhar | asoare: i guess the is a channel for gos | 19:17 |
| Scunizi | asoare, it is ubuntu with a different desktop manager. so if your asking about anything other than the desktop manager it should be ok.. | 19:17 |

| dule | Question for the experts: I have a second partition of 4 GB. Can I install ubuntu 7.10 on that little partition? | 19:18 |
| murlidhar | asoare: go ahead ask your question | 19:18 |
| PriceChild | dule: yes | 19:18 |
| dule | Or do I need to carve out some swap space first? | 19:18 |
| asoare | i would really like to get involved in the ubuntu community, but i'm not really sure how to start | 19:18 |
| dule | what is the actual size of the ubuntu system? | 19:18 |
| PriceChild | dule: ubuntu doesn't need swap... its just handy if you run out of ram if you don't want random stuff being killed | 19:19 |
| murlidhar | dule: yes while installing it give some space to the swap. | 19:19 |
| PriceChild | dule: over 2Gb | 19:19 |
| Slade^^ | Can u answer to me ?? | 19:19 |
| soundray | dule: you will be able to just fit root plus swap into 4GB | 19:19 |
| Slade^^ | How to uninstall kiba-dock????? | 19:19 |
| asoare | i read about gos and think this is a great opportunity to do so | 19:19 |
| ompaul | Slade^^, sudo apt-get remove --purge ApplicationName (if you used synaptic or apt to install it if you compiled it you have made a mess) | 19:19 |

| click170 | Does anybody know why KWifiManager is acting absurdly stangely? First it wouldn't properly scan for wireless networks, so I confirmed the adapter's module was loaded and correct, and scanned with iwlist and saw some, scanned again in KWifiManager and saw the networks that I saw from the iwlist scan, and now thats all it shows when scanning. | 19:20 |
| Sinnerman | is there a command to allow me to list the files in a directory, but not the symbolic links? | 19:20 |
| Sinnerman | i mean in a terminal. | 19:20 |
| geirha | dule: and if you have another linux-system on the same computer, you can use the same swap partition for ubuntu too | 19:20 |
| Slade^^ | ok! | 19:20 |
| Gurax | Hi all. Does anyone here use the "htb.init" script for traffic shaping ? | 19:21 |
| soundray | Sinnerman: find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | 19:21 |
| dule | PriceChild, soundray, murlidhar, geirha: thanks a lot guys | 19:21 |
| Sinnerman | soundray brilliant, thank you. | 19:21 |
| dule | I have windows on the main partition (it's a school's laptop), so no preexisting swap | 19:21 |
| Gurax | soundray: i have exactly a problem with "find" at the htb.init script | 19:21 |
| soundray | Gurax: tell us more | 19:21 |
| geirha | dule: how much RAM do you have? | 19:21 |
| asoare | how can i contact a mentor that participated in gos '07 ? i would really like to ask some questions | 19:22 |
| iowahc | hy there, i got an crazy error. After a half minute up to 5 my Ubuntu 7.10 freezes, on console I get the error: ata1.01 Exception, etc. Just like the Error with the Samsung Q35 DVD Drive, but without the message that the port is slow | 19:22 |
| dule | another question would be whether there is a way to "unlock" my main windows partition and resize it? | 19:22 |
| tattoo | I did a ghost (using g4l) on my machine (w/ 3 NIC's). when I restored this image on another one (the same vendor), it started with eth3 and eth4. does anyone know what happened w/ the restore process? | 19:22 |
| Gurax | soundray: I use the script and it will say this on execution: "you have specified the -maxdepth option after a non-option argument -type, but options are not positional" | 19:22 |
| dule | geirha: 500MB | 19:22 |
| Sinnerman | is it possible to use a file (of whatever size) to mount as a filesystem, and moreover, have that filesystem encrypted? i specifically want a file containing the filesystem. how would i go about achieving this? | 19:22 |
| dule | so 500 swap, 3500 "/" | 19:22 |
| murlidhar | dule: keep the swap about 250mb | 19:23 |
| geirha | dule: might be a bit too low mem without a swap. The ubuntu CD has a partition editor that can resize partitions, including windows partitions | 19:23 |
| murlidhar | i guess that should be enough | 19:23 |
| dule | murlidhar: oh, ok... | 19:23 |
| soundray | Gurax: what is htb.init? | 19:23 |
| === Beardedninja_ is now known as BeardedBinja | ||
| dule | geirha: I am using that GParted program for this, but my main windows partition (that I would resize) is somehow "locked"... | 19:23 |
| dule | any way to unlock it? | 19:24 |
| murlidhar | geirha: i guess 250mb should be enough for swap. for 512 mb ram | 19:24 |
| Slade^^ | It can't with Terminal... it says couldn't find package Kiba-Dock, what it is the problem??? | 19:24 |
| dule | (locked = there is a little lock icon on it, and I can't resize) | 19:24 |
| brobostigon | dule: maybe unmount it | 19:24 |
| murlidhar | dule u first have to unmount it | 19:24 |
| geirha | murlidhar: some swap is better than no swap ;) | 19:24 |
| Gurax | soundray: it's a script to make the use of "tc" for traffic shaping, more friendly. Instead of using long command parameters, it can read smaller conf files and then from those it builds and executes the necessary commands. | 19:24 |
| dule | ahhhh | 19:24 |
| dule | good point!!! | 19:24 |
| * dule feels embarrassed a little | 19:25 | |

| dodo_z | any easy guide for ubuntu adn linux beginners ? | 19:25 |
| Slade^^ | ? | 19:25 |
| kustom | is there any way to autoconfigure samba on gutsy or is there a package for that? | 19:25 |
| geirha | dule: if you intend to resize the windows partition, it's a good idea to do a defrag on it from windows first | 19:25 |
| PriceChild | Slade^^: apt-cache search kiba | 19:25 |
| murlidhar | dodo_z: i guess ubuntu wiki is enough. | 19:25 |
| Slade^^ | ok | 19:25 |
| dule | geirha: ok... thanks for the advice | 19:26 |

| dodo_z | and why do I use -zfxv or whatever in the command | 19:29 |

| soundray | neopsyche: how is it connected? | 20:00 |
| soundray | mildner_: the firmware all by itself won't do. You need a driver | 20:01 |
| bascule | MasterAslan: depends how many hosts, a static hosts file like /etc/hosts is fine for a few | 20:01 |
| soundray | mildner_: maybe you should sort out your net connection troubles first | 20:01 |
| neopsyche | soundray, via pin connection com port | 20:02 |

| MasterAslan | bascule: whats the best solution for computers with dhcp? I basically want to be able to connect a computer to the network and be able to ping it with the computer name like windows can. It just seems to pick it up when its connected | 20:04 |
| Gary_inNYC | anyone with any information on videoconferencing with friends in AOL, Yahoo, MSN, etc? | 20:05 |
| bascule | MasterAslan: dunno, I use static for lan | 20:05 |
| dodo_z | hey , when I try to install a codec it tells me this application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly' the conflicting software must be removed first. | 20:05 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 20:05 |
| ubuntuisloved | MasterAslan: why not just ping its ip? | 20:05 |
| Gary_inNYC | dodo z, did you install a conflicting metapackage? | 20:06 |
| dodo_z | Gary_inNYC: I just installed a codec with this same name | 20:06 |
| MasterAslan | sometimes if a friend connects a laptop for instance via wireless I can't necessarily see the ip address. | 20:06 |
| dodo_z | Gary_inNYC: I tried to open te mp3 file and I got two codecs | 20:06 |
| _mug | MasterAslan: what do you mean by the name of the computer? the samba-name or the dns-name? you could set up a static /etc/hosts for each host | 20:07 |
| FloodBot1 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 20:07 |
| dodo_z | Gary_inNYC: gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly | 20:07 |
| Gary_inNYC | kk, try uninstalling those individual codecs and install just the ugly set. i think that should do it | 20:07 |
| brobostigon | dodo_z: try audacious or xmms with that mp3, and see what happens | 20:07 |
| bascule | MasterAslan: well I would query the router, or the machine it's self | 20:07 |
| ubuntuisloved | MasterAslan: so what your saying you want to scan all computers on your network? | 20:07 |
| bascule | MasterAslan: It probably s possible without fullblown DNS though | 20:07 |
| dodo_z | Gary_inNYC: how to uninstall them , I opened Synpatic manager and I found many instances with different names | 20:07 |
| bascule | !avahi > bascule | 20:08 |
| Gary_inNYC | did you by any chance install sets with differing suffixes? ugly, bad, etc? | 20:08 |

| ubuntuisloved | MasterAslan: and yes you either need to put info into /etc/hosts or use dns | 20:10 |
| dodo_z | Gary_inNYC: should uninstall all of the m? | 20:10 |
| soundray | ErikR: how are you using it? | 20:10 |

| _mug | zimon: second screen? a monitor attached to the notebook? | 20:12 |

| MasterAslan | thanks for your help..gonna research my options | 20:12 |
| willm_ | oldskool, what X-driver are you using? | 20:12 |
| zimon | _mug: right .. i use the external display as primary and the laptop panel as secondary screen. that didn't work with compiz | 20:12 |

| _mug | zimon: but the laptop-screen worked? (i dont intend to use an external one) | 20:13 |
| ErikR | then I wanted to do update-alternatives with the correct ninary | 20:13 |
| ErikR | *binary | 20:13 |
| xela | morning | 20:13 |
| soundray | ErikR: not sure -- maybe you have to remove the wrong links first. man update-alternatives ? | 20:13 |
| oldskool | willm_: openchrome compiled ok and video card recognised | 20:13 |
| zimon | _mug: if you want to try, add SKIP_CHECKS=yes to ~/.config/compiz/compiz-manager | 20:13 |
| dodo_z | brobostigon: where is this software? | 20:14 |
| _mug | zimon: and out of the box or did you have to tweak/blackmagic/dirtyhack sth? | 20:14 |

| brobostigon | dodo_z: look in synaptic | 20:14 |
| ErikR | soundray: i did rm rake from both /etc/alternatives and /usr/bin | 20:14 |
| soundray | oldskool: why did you compile, rather than using xserver-xorg-video-openchrome ? | 20:14 |
| _mug | eeeandrew: maybe you want to ask in a java chan | 20:14 |
| ErikR | then no output from update-alternatives (like expected on correct execution) | 20:14 |
| eeeandrew | _mug where would I find one of them? | 20:14 |
| soundray | ErikR: I mean remove with update-alternatives | 20:14 |

| FidgetandFlump | haha oh dear I've just read the FAQ's and I'm not even at that level, poop. I've got the basics working but was just trying to figure networking. I'm lucky as a lot of my stuff was just there, so I can learn at a slower pace | 20:23 |
| amenado | id10t-> then have a backup ruleset that works, just default ACCETP Policies | 20:23 |
| SimplySeth | FidgetandFlump: there is a networking GUI on the taskbar :) | 20:23 |
| neopsyche | anyone help with acer scan to web scanner? | 20:23 |

| Stickman0 | So, is there a way to partition an NTFS harddrive with the Ubuntu installer? Or do I have to find a 3rd party app? | 20:24 |
| SimplySeth | amenado: "remastering" ubuntu .. thanks .. I at least have some keywords to search for .. thanks :) | 20:24 |
| FidgetandFlump | I saw that and even read some stuff on the net, but it just wasn't clicking | 20:24 |
| gizbot | Anyone using iwl4965 drivers? | 20:24 |

| id10t | SimplySeth, i imagine it woul dbe the same process as ubuntu | 20:25 |
| erUSUL | Stickman0: you can partition your disk during install afaik | 20:25 |
| Stickman0 | Thank you! | 20:25 |
| andatche | it was working but since I switched to a wired network and back I can't get it to work again without using wired | 20:25 |

| amenado | andatche-> do this, when it works, right down the contents of ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; | 20:26 |
| ErikR | anyhow.. I don't have a link in my /etc/alternatives directory | 20:26 |
| Gary_inNYC | StickMan0 the liveCD comes with GParted so you can create and/or resize partitions | 20:26 |
| SimplySeth | id10t: thanks .. I wanna build a turn-key firewall/nat/DDNS/DHCP box with ubuntu .. thanks | 20:26 |
| andatche | amenado: I don't think that will fix it, I think it's some bug in nm | 20:26 |
| id10t | SimplySeth, may want to look at using DSL or similar small distro as a base | 20:26 |
| andatche | it seems hard coded to use eth0 | 20:26 |
| Stickman0 | I tried, but the install CD didn't let me try to partition | 20:26 |
| FidgetandFlump | I have my network menu open, I'm just trying to get my mac to discover it through a router!! | 20:26 |
| SimplySeth | id10t: "remastering" was the keyword I was looking for | 20:26 |
| andatche | yet it was working until the first time I plugged it in | 20:26 |
| amenado | SimplySeth-> i believer there was a distro that basically that ..turnkey firewall..i can not remember the name tough..its mentioned on that book damn small linux | 20:27 |
| erUSUL | SimplySeth: why not use ruter oriented distributions like ipcop or zeroshell ? | 20:27 |
| andatche | eh | 20:27 |
| ephracis | Is NM 0.7 gonna be in Hardy? | 20:27 |
| andatche | and now it has worked again | 20:27 |
| andatche | this is weird | 20:27 |
| amenado | andatche-> do this, when it works, right down the contents of ifconfig; iwconfig; route -n ; cat /etc/resolv.conf; | 20:27 |
| SimplySeth | erUSUL: I tried Mono .. but it didn't reconize my NICs .. zeroshell and ipcop .. will look into it thanks | 20:27 |

| Linux-Noob | i keep getting this error Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root | 20:29 |
| amenado | ErikR-> you have to install it, using the update-alternate or alternate (heck am getting confused between fedora and ubuntu) instal .. | 20:29 |
| ErikR | yeah.. but I thought that update-alternatives would give me a new one | 20:29 |
| ErikR | pastie | 20:30 |
| amenado | ErikR-> that would only give you a selection to choose from.. to add to the menu, its install-ing it | 20:30 |
| zimon | ErikR: no, that's for switching between the link targets | 20:30 |

| Linux-Noob | how do i get rid of this error?? Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root | 20:30 |
| zimon | ErikR: i'd just reinstall rake | 20:30 |
| ErikR | http://www.pastie.org/160740 | 20:30 |
| ErikR | I have.. | 20:30 |
| ErikR | zimon.. but I want to have it with gem instal rake, not apt-get install rake | 20:31 |
| tomtommy | anyone know plzz? | 20:31 |
| amenado | Linux-Noob-> i think it is telling you to re-do that command or else it can not go forward | 20:31 |
| Linux-Noob | amenado: yes i understand but how do i redo the command? | 20:31 |
| zimon | ErikR: do you have a symlink for rake in /usr/bin? | 20:31 |
| Gary_inNYC | FidgetandFlump: have you tried selecting manual configuration and selecting dhcp from "Wired Connection" properties? | 20:31 |
| Cpudan80 | Anyone know why flash crashes immediately on Ubuntu x86_64 ? | 20:32 |
| ErikR | no I don't zimon | 20:32 |
| tomtommy | just installed Ubuntu. What shall I install to be able to watch all different types of videos? | 20:32 |
| Cpudan80 | like I load a site with flash, and it crashes (the flash part) | 20:32 |
| amenado | Linux-Noob-> just like what it says /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 20:32 |
| Gary_inNYC | flash is annoying slow for me in firefox as well | 20:32 |
| amenado | Linux-Noob-> just like what it says sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup | 20:32 |

| tomtommy | Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. | 20:33 |
| rinaldi_ | hi im trying to make a copy of a data dvd that has bad sectors on it. At the moment with k3b i've selected ignore errors so it keeps going. It's been on 32% for a day now. Just wanted to know if there is an app more specialised to dealing with bad sectors? | 20:33 |
| zimon | ErikR: normally, you would have /usr/bin/rake -> /etc/alternatives/rake -> /..../rake .. if alternatives are used | 20:33 |
| ErikR | take a look in http://www.pastie.org/160740 for the command aswell zimon | 20:33 |
| ErikR | that is what I am trying to accomplish zimon | 20:33 |
| Linux-Noob | amenado: ok now i get this /usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: line 51: make: command not found | 20:33 |

| Slart | tomtommy: don't repeat your question too often... many people check the channel every now and then.. if you repeat your question you'll only annoy people and you'll get ignored... as for video.. install vlc player | 20:34 |

| Slart | tomtommy: there are other media-players available.. vlc just happens to be my favourite | 20:35 |

| Slart | tomtommy: you want flash .. firefox doesn't come with flash installed by default.. | 20:35 |
| Gary_inNYC | install flash nonfree from synaptic or adobe's site, and make sure javascript is enabled when in youtube | 20:35 |

| zimon | ErikR: update-alternatives --install only works if the symlink in /etc/alternatives exists. see manpage | 20:38 |
| tomtommy | Slart, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash <-- doesnt support Ubuntu 7.10. what can I do? | 20:38 |
| Gary_inNYC | hemelskonijn, check out gnome-look.org for theming | 20:38 |
| hemelskonijn | ok thnx i will | 20:38 |
| ErikR | oh.. okay zimon.. darn.. I missed that | 20:38 |
| Slart | tomtommy: yes it does.. an old page, that's all... run this in a terminal "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" | 20:39 |
| zimon | ErikR: it's used to add a alternative to a existent master link | 20:39 |

| Slart | tomtommy: you're welcoem | 20:39 |
| tomtommy | Slart, does non-free mean its (c)? | 20:39 |
| Slart | tomtommy: it means you don't get source.. | 20:40 |
| tomtommy | Slart, but its legal to use for free? | 20:40 |
| Slart | tomtommy: it's adobe's flash.. and they are greedy evil people who probably eat little children.. oh.. they haven't released flash as open source either.. even worse ;) | 20:40 |
| Gary_inNYC | heeh | 20:40 |
| Slart | tomtommy: it's legal to use | 20:40 |

| zimon | ErikR: no .. i don't think so. but i don't know too much about alternatives .. i just use them :-) | 20:43 |
| Slart | alexb50: try to convince it that it does.. see !threaten and !ifyoudon'tstartworkingnowI'llcry =) | 20:44 |
| erUSUL | alexb50: which wifi card? | 20:44 |
| Kumool | how do i unmount a device (i cant see it in the file manager) (Phone) | 20:44 |
| Slart | alexb50: does it still exist in lspci or lsusb or similar? | 20:44 |
| Slart | Kumool: umount <devicename> is the regular way.. | 20:45 |

| bthornton | I've recently changed the driver on my Broadcom wireless card from the default bcm43xx driver to ndiswrapper (had to blacklist the bcm43xx drive and add an alias for ndiswrapper to eth1). It works well, but I have to "sudo modprobe eth1" on every boot for the driver to be loaded. How can I have this load on boot? | 20:45 |
| brobostigon | Kumool: in terminal umount /dev/** | 20:45 |
| erUSUL | Kumool: cat /proc/mounts <<< find out mountpoint or device ; sudo umount mountpoint or device | 20:45 |
| alexb50 | slart: it existed as a pciusb mount but networkmanager didn't realise that I had any wireless capability | 20:46 |
| erUSUL | brobostigon: add eth1 or ndiswrapper to /etc/modules | 20:46 |
| zenatuz | olá pessoal, alguém pode me ajudar com driver nvidia para ubuntu? | 20:46 |

| zenatuz | ok, tks | 20:46 |
| Juhaz | that would be quite simple one, few lines if you | 20:46 |
| ErikR | ln works just as well as update-alternatives zimon :) | 20:47 |
| Juhaz | argh. | 20:47 |
| brobostigon | erUSUL: sorry, what was that, did i miss something,, no idea what you said?? | 20:47 |
| Slart | ah.. I can't tell those apart.. | 20:47 |
| zimon | ErikR: but you still need to run the install command, so that the new alternative is added to /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/rake | 20:47 |
| ErikR | oh okay.. :) | 20:47 |
| erUSUL | brobostigon: add the module name in this case ndiswrapper or eth1 to the file /etc/modules | 20:47 |
| ErikR | the shell command works now.. why would I need the alternative in that weird location too? | 20:47 |
| brobostigon | erUSUL: what, i have no need for it, i was helping someone else | 20:48 |
| erUSUL | Slart: ;) no problem i'm galician so i can jeje | 20:48 |
| zimon | ErikR: that's just the "database" of available alternatives | 20:48 |

| erUSUL | brobostigon: o sorry that was meant to bthornton ..... tab completion you know | 20:48 |
| ErikR | okay.. did the --install thing, but it says that /etc/alternatives/rake is in manual mode and will be left alone | 20:49 |
| ErikR | is that okay? | 20:49 |

| ErikR | thanks zimon | 20:53 |

| Foone2 | amenado: I recently replaced my motherboard, the install I made before the replacement doesn't detect eth0, but a fresh one made after does. | 20:58 |
| imme | So my default is set at dvorak. | 20:58 |
| Flare183 | imme: goto https://launchpad.net and look | 20:58 |
| Foone2 | which is why I'm attempting to copy over the configuration from the fresh install, I just don't know where to look for it | 20:58 |
| imme | Flare183: OK | 20:58 |
| zimon | ErikR: i don't think so ... i'd like to know which version i'm using, so manual mode would be the best for me | 20:58 |

| erUSUL | nonix4: you may need to install the nvidia.com driver manually if you want 3d acceleration. but not really sure about it 1)do not have a 8xxx 2) i use custom kernel nvidia.com drivers anyway | 20:59 |
| Foone2 | amenado: I don't, I just want to get the networking configuration information off it (since it works) | 20:59 |
| ErikR | yeah.. okay.. thanks for helpingme clear this out zimon | 20:59 |
| amenado | Foone2-> if it already works, what is the point of going back to the old install? | 20:59 |
| gizbot | Question was: Hi. I've got a new Gateway 6834 laptop, and it uses the newish Intel 4695 wireless card. I've been trying to get it run under Gutsy (kbuntu). I think I am using the newer iwl4965 drivers that come with the default config. I cannot see the local access point (DHCP), though my old machine can, meaning no DHCP lease and no iwlist scan. Booting under windows gives me network... | 20:59 |
| gizbot | ...access. I'm a bit at a loss of how to go forward. Any suggestions? | 21:00 |
| gizbot | Solution is: Default installation fails to set ESSID to any, and so scanning fails. Set with "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid any". Problem fixed. | 21:00 |
| gizbot | Now where do I put this so no other poor sap gets hit? | 21:00 |

| pope_ | to use emerald as my window decorator, i just need to run "emerald --replace" through terminal, is this correct? | 21:00 |
| amenado | Foone2-> and the working config is indeed on that /etc/network/interfaces.. | 21:00 |
| Foone2 | amenado: the old install has a lot more configuration (apache and such) and files, the new one was just a test to see if ubuntu supports my nic | 21:00 |
| Flare183 | pope_: tha'ts right | 21:00 |
| Foone2 | amenado: the only thing broken with my old install is the nic, so it'd be a waste to reinstall for just that. | 21:01 |
| okkay | Does anyone know why i'm not able to view vmw file, i can listen it but i can't see anything | 21:01 |
| pope_ | will it remain my decorator upon reboot as well, or will i need to add that command to sessions? | 21:01 |
| erUSUL | !w32codecs | okkay | 21:01 |
| ubotu | okkay: The Win32 codecs are available from the Medibuntu repositories (see « /msg ubotu medibuntu »), and for releases prior to Gutsy, also at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages | 21:01 |
| amenado | Foone2-> but those are different config files you are after, for network, we established its in interface, for others you have to hunt around | 21:01 |
| okkay | :) | 21:01 |
| Flare183 | pope_: it will stay that way | 21:01 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | pope_: or install fusion-icon which would make life a whole lot simpler if it would just be added to the repos | 21:01 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | there's no reason for it not to be there... | 21:02 |
| pope_ | excellent, thank you guys ^_^ slowly i'm beginning to become comfortable with my windows replacement | 21:02 |
| amenado | Foone2-> when you say old install, what ubuntu was on it? and the new one is? | 21:02 |
| Flare183 | pope_: that's good | 21:02 |
| Foone2 | amenado: they're both 7.10 | 21:02 |
| Foone2 | amenado: the interfaces files are identical, so something elsewhere must be different | 21:03 |

| nils__ | ver tsirc.dyn.pl | 21:05 |
| Foone2 | amenado: yes. the old motherboard failed, so I replaced it (with a different model). now that I've replaced it, I have no network. I then did a fresh install of 7.10 onto another drive, since I suspected it was a configuration problem. since the fresh install has working network, that seems to confirm my suspicion. I'm now trying to copy whatever (working) configuration options there are on the new (test) install onto the older install (t | 21:05 |

| bastones | Hello. I have decided to switch to Ubuntu as my operating system for home use after finding some interesting aspects of it at work, but I can't seem to boot it on starting my operating system. As I turn on my computer, I press F12 and select the USB Flash Drive which has the .ISO file of Ubuntu on, and it says "No Bootable partition on tablle" - any help on this would be greatly appreciated. | 21:26 |
| tomtommy | ArthurArchnix, so how do I undelete a file I deleted? | 21:26 |
| bastones | computer* | 21:26 |
| simplexio | tomtommy: usually it just only removed from filetable | 21:26 |
| tomtommy | ArthurArchnix, so Ubuntu never securely deletes files? | 21:26 |
| tomtommy | simplexio, if thats true, how I undelete the file and get it back? | 21:26 |
| david__ | k ondas? | 21:26 |
| Parsec300 | bastones, you need to burn the iso to a CD with Nero or something first | 21:26 |
| Parsec300 | bastones, then startup with that CD | 21:27 |
| simplexio | tomtommy: if you need to be sure just remove file and then dd if=/dev/random of=removethis | 21:27 |
| tomtommy | simplexio, or use WIPE | 21:27 |
| tomtommy | !wipe | 21:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about wipe - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:27 |

| Parsec300 | Sinnerman, there must many howto's how to install it on Ubuntu. | 21:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | tomtommy: depends on what you mean by secure. No simple tool exists to recover a deleted file. But it would take your local police department's it squad all of three minutes to recover files deleted in ubuntu. | 21:27 |
| tomtommy | ArthurArchnix, even files deleted using WIPE? | 21:27 |

| luckyshot | MasterShrek, no such file or directory | 21:32 |
| tomtommy | In order to ensure that ext3 can safely resume an unlink after a crash, it actually zeros out the block pointers in the inode, whereas ext2 just marks these blocks as unused in the block bitmaps and marks the inode as "deleted" and leaves the block pointers alone. | 21:32 |

| amenado | Foone2-> well, then it has to be enabled? :P | 21:35 |
| zimon | Veinor: the most important thing is to clean /etc/readahead/boot ... remove everything you don't need | 21:35 |
| Foone2 | amenado: I guess so. any idea where I'd do that? | 21:35 |
| tomtommy | ArthurArchnix, im glad u admited to giving false information. thanks for your honesty | 21:35 |
| Parsec300 | bastones, you might have the wrong ISO for you. | 21:35 |
| Foone2 | amenado: it also shows that the nic was detected on eth1 (there's only one network device in this box, so I don't see why it's not eth0) | 21:35 |
| poddus | herro? | 21:35 |
| poddus | anyone there? | 21:36 |
| MasterShrek | nope | 21:36 |
| sinbox | tomtommy, I wouldn't know, I don't work for the police nor a very expensive file recovery company or HDD disaster recovery firm I'm just a newb me | 21:36 |
| Yan2 | yes | 21:36 |
| amenado | Foone2-> im still struggling with how udev name things..like permanent naming of devices..so cant really give a good answer tothat | 21:36 |
| Veinor | Well, boot and logon times. | 21:36 |
| poddus | can somebody help me out? | 21:37 |
| fbc | Can anyone recall the command that loads the gnome config editor? gnome-edit? gnome-config? | 21:37 |
| MasterShrek | !someone | poddus | 21:37 |
| ubotu | poddus: In place of "Does anyone/anybody...", please be aware, one persons expert is another persons beginner, please ask your question in full, then see what helps! | 21:37 |
| luckyshot | MasterShrek, no one is saying anything | 21:37 |
| ArthurArchnix | luckyshot: Did you try my suggestion? | 21:37 |
| adaptr | luckyshot: yes he was | 21:37 |
| Veinor | fbc: gconf-editor | 21:37 |
| Parsec300 | poddus, ask the question. | 21:38 |
| adaptr | poddus: sorry, we're all helpless here.. nobody to help | 21:38 |
| sinbox | how does that website contradict me tomtommy ? | 21:38 |
| fbc | Veinor: awesome!!! that's it! thanks,} | 21:38 |
| tomtommy | sinbox, it says: "Q: How can I recover (undelete) deleted files from my ext3 partition? Actually, you can't! | 21:38 |
| danand | tomtommy - use a utility like dd to make and exact copy of the disk. the disk image can then be viewed using a hex editor. many files (all?) have headers and end of file pointers. copy the info from header to end of file to a new file. you can then view the file. I've done this to recover data when i did something stupid with a rm command :O | 21:38 |
| tomtommy | sinbox, notice the website you have me contradicts you :P how ironic | 21:38 |
| tomtommy | danand, but that doesnt allow u to fully recover a file, does it? | 21:39 |
| MasterShrek | tomtommy, if you delete something it is recoverable, i know for a fact it is. now if you use a program like wipe or scrub, it will almost get rid of it completely, but it still may be able to recover some data | 21:39 |
| sinbox | I know you can't recover the whole file, but you can still recovering parts of it with grep whatever that is :) | 21:39 |
| sinbox | and only if you sent the file to the recycle bin | 21:39 |
| tomtommy | MasterShrek, you know for a fact? so can you [please provide the factual data? | 21:40 |
| Veinor | Can anyone help me to get suspend and/or hibernate working on my hp pavilion dv9235nr with Gutsy? | 21:40 |
| danand | tomtommy - you can fully recover files _if_ your lucky. ie if the file doesn't get overwritten in the mean while. | 21:40 |
| === gizbot_ is now known as gizbot | ||
| tomtommy | danand, ok | 21:40 |
| MasterShrek | tomtommy, only my experiences with different companies scrubbing disks because a format isnt enough | 21:40 |
| Veinor | actually, a file in the recycle bin is still there until you empty it under ~/.Trash I think | 21:40 |
| rycole | this question really has nothing to do with ubuntu, but does anyone know if it's possible to view network traffic of any devices connected on your network? | 21:40 |
| fbc | Veinor: It's probably going to be a graphics card issue... | 21:40 |
| poddus | I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 7.10. when I boot from the liveCD, I choose start & install, but when it tries to run the (startup?) script (i think its "rs.local"), the CD spins down and nothing happens. I have a mac pro 8-core. please ask if you need any more info. | 21:40 |
| sinbox | thanks for the correction Veinor :) | 21:40 |
| fbc | Veinor: Had same problem with my hp. | 21:40 |
| Foone2 | amenado: got it! /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules listed two nics (the new motherboard's nic and the old motherboard's), modifying that file fixed it. Thanks for you help! | 21:41 |
| tomtommy | MasterShrek, ok. so what is the best solution to make sure my sensitive files are securely deleted the best way possible on Ubuntu? using WIPE ok? But how can I securely wipe my Firefox cache? | 21:41 |
| fdsjkalf | rycole yes its possible i have something called ''network tools" that displays all kinds of realtime information | 21:41 |
| sinbox | tomtoo a hammer and some acid? | 21:41 |
| levander | Isn't there an Ubuntu channel to talk about virtualization? | 21:41 |
| levander | Can't find it. | 21:41 |
| fbc | Veinor: There is some parameter you need to change in the a config file for your graphics card so that your screen is not black when you come out of suspend or resume. | 21:41 |
| Veinor | fbc: Did you manage to solve them? | 21:41 |
| amenado | Foone2-> alright..glad you found it quickly.. that udev as i've said is something am still grasping | 21:41 |
| Veinor | It's not going into a suspend/resume at all | 21:42 |
| sinbox | I meant tomtommy | 21:42 |
| Veinor | *suspend/hibernate | 21:42 |
| fbc | Veinor: ahhh... then that was not the problem I had..sry.. | 21:42 |
| Veinor | well, what was the file? | 21:42 |
| danand | tomtommy, MasterShrek - data may still be recoverable after using wipe or shred because of the way the journalling fs works ie it puts copies of things all over the place. even if you shred a file, that data may still exist somewhere else on the disk | 21:42 |
| MasterShrek | tomtommy, wipe should be sufficient, ive never used it though and i doubt it works for a single file or set of files, probably a whole partition or maybe an entire drive. if you are worried about your firefox cache that bad, you should lay off the pronz | 21:42 |
| mysterycool | hey | 21:42 |
| amenado | danand not with shred and the correct options | 21:42 |
| mysterycool | i downloaded a .tar.gz file and i have n no idea how to install the component ;S | 21:43 |
| tomtommy | danand, do you have any data and evidence to support that statement? where can I read support for what you said? | 21:43 |
| fbc | Veinor: can't recall..however I remember it was the ati section in the X config file. | 21:43 |
| niklas | In windows I have used HJSplit do join 001, 002, and so on, files. Does it exist a tool for Ubuntu where I can join these files? | 21:43 |
| MasterShrek | mysterycool, tar.gz of what? chances are youll have to compile it, and there may be a package already | 21:43 |
| tomtommy | MasterShrek, dont assume i use pron. its for senstive banking websites etc./ im an online trader | 21:43 |
| mysterycool | MasterShrek: of metasploit xD | 21:43 |
| tomtommy | does anyone know how I can securely delete my firefox cache? | 21:44 |
| fbc | Veinor: There was a line that you had to toggle from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0. | 21:44 |
| sinbox | tomtommy, I think distrust is what you'd want for your firefox cache | 21:44 |
| Veinor | all right | 21:44 |
| tomtommy | sinbox, OK so now we know the problem.. what is the SOLUTION? :P | 21:44 |
| fbc | Veinor: So that the unit would come out of hibernation or suspend properly | 21:44 |
| danand | tomtommy - in the man page of shred it says shred will only be effective for filesystems that preserve where they write data to. ie shred is no use on journalling file systems | 21:44 |
| eWin | I'm having problem trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007, when I select start Install Ubuntu I get these errors: "isapnp: checksum for device 1 is not valid (0x89)" and "isapnp: checksum for device 2 is not valid (0xbe)", I'v tried solutions found on the forums ( like F4 for lowest vga resolution and vga = 771) but still i'm disapointed, just black screen | 21:44 |
| MasterShrek | mysterycool, http://howtoforge.com/installing-metasploit-3.0-on-ubuntu-7.10 | 21:44 |
| tomtommy | danand, I dont use shred, I use wipw | 21:45 |
| mysterycool | MasterShrek: ty :D | 21:45 |
| tomtommy | wipe | 21:45 |
| howdy | metaspoilt | 21:45 |
| howdy | hacking decrypting program | 21:45 |
| howdy | have u got it working? | 21:45 |
| MasterShrek | howdy, http://howtoforge.com/installing-metasploit-3.0-on-ubuntu-7.10 | 21:45 |
| tomtommy | OK everyone, so now we know the problem.. what is the SOLUTION to securely wipe files and firefox cache? :) does anyone have a solution? LOL | 21:45 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: have u heard of rainbow tables | 21:45 |
| MasterShrek | howdy, nope | 21:46 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: have u done any wep/wpa/wpa2 cracking? | 21:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | When the Military wants to securely delete something they melt the hard-drive. For the ultra-paranoid the only solution is a full disk wipe using low-level wiping utility (comes with some bios) combined with a high security dban wipe, followed by full disk encryption, with a hardened system. For people with moderately sensitive information (corporate employees, government, etc.) and a laptop, an encrypted partition is probab | 21:46 |
| fbc | Veinor: This should point you in the right direction. http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-181442.html | 21:46 |
| MasterShrek | howdy, definately not the place to talk about such things | 21:46 |
| poddus | help? | 21:47 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: its only for network auditing, to keep people aware of danger | 21:47 |
| tomtommy | guess you all only know the challenge and problem. but nobody seems to have a viable SOLUTION :P | 21:47 |
| Alan | How would I go about finding out what is locking my sound device? I've killed everything that has been using it, that i know of, but it's still locked for some reason | 21:47 |
| Alan | (my sound just suddenly stopped working... | 21:47 |
| danand | tomtommy - both programs work in the same way - by overwriting the data on the disk with random garbage. however if various copies of that data have been shifted about due to the nature of the file system it cannot guarentee that wiping out where the data is _now_ will not leave the data intact and recoverable on another part of the disk | 21:47 |
| EminX | I'm having problem trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007 | 21:47 |
| ArthurArchnix | tomtommy: I gave you the solution. If you want bullet proof certainty melt your harddrive. If you want 99.9% security, erase your entire hard-disk using low-level wipe, followed by a full dban wipe, followed by full disk encryption. Otherwise, just delete it. | 21:48 |
| EminX | anybody can help pls! | 21:48 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: can I load this IRC in a terminal? | 21:48 |
| tomtommy | danand, ok! so is there a ubuntu HDD wiping tool that securely wipes all free space on the HDD? | 21:48 |
| MasterShrek | howdy, yes | 21:48 |
| MasterShrek | !irssi | howdy | 21:48 |
| ubotu | howdy: Irssi is a terminal based IRC client. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Irssi for help. | 21:48 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: how? | 21:48 |
| danand | tomtommy - i don't know :D | 21:48 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: nice 1 | 21:48 |
| tomtommy | ArthurArchnix, you are trolling! you are not giving a practible solution. IM NOT GOING TO MELT MY HDD. | 21:48 |
| Slart | tomtommy: look at "wipe".. I've used that one a few old hard drives | 21:48 |
| Slart | !info wipe | 21:49 |
| ubotu | wipe (source: wipe): Secure file deletion. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.21-3 (gutsy), package size 42 kB, installed size 132 kB | 21:49 |
| tomtommy | Slart, yes i installed wipe. ill use that | 21:49 |
| pingui | hi i got a question | 21:49 |
| sinbox | my guess tomtommy would making an image of your whole HDD with something equivalent to ghost before doing anything you don't want know or recoverable, then after the deed format then reinstall that image | 21:49 |
| EminX | I'm having problem trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007, can you help me please! | 21:49 |
| MasterShrek | !ask | pingui | 21:49 |
| ubotu | pingui: 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. :-) | 21:49 |
| tomtommy | Slart, do you know how I can use wipe on my firefox cache? Where is the cache for firefox? :P | 21:49 |
| MasterShrek | EminX, use vmware | 21:49 |
| tomtommy | sinbox, yeah I have Acronis trueimage | 21:49 |
| pingui | thanks i think so | 21:49 |
| Slart | tomtommy: melting your harddrive is indeed a viable solution.. doesn't mean you have to sit and hold it over a candle until it's gone.. it all depends on how badly you want the data destroyed | 21:49 |
| EminX | MasterShrek: I'm trying in innotek VirtualBox, it looks it will work | 21:50 |
| Slart | tomtommy: it's probably in .mozilla ... or .firefox in your home folder | 21:50 |
| Veinor | I just tried to disable and enable the nvidia driver modules, and I can't. | 21:50 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: my windows Oddysey Wi-Fi Network manager picks up AP's that are faint where as on Ubuntu the default network manager doesnt. Why is this? | 21:50 |
| tomtommy | Slart, it is NOT a practible solution for me and what I have asked. I am seekking a practible solution and BEST way to securely wipe files in Ubuntu. I NEVER asked to melt the HDD! | 21:50 |
| EminX | MasterShrek: but I still want to know the solution on VPC 2007 | 21:50 |
| MasterShrek | EminX, vbox may work, although i tried it in xp once and i bsod'd lolz | 21:50 |
| Veinor | Because it apparently deletes them and I don't have net access on that computer. | 21:50 |
| pingui | well i were wonder if i can protec my bookmark qhit a password | 21:51 |
| tomtommy | are you guys trolls or just bored? :P | 21:51 |
| MasterShrek | howdy, the driver in ubuntu wasnt made by the same company | 21:51 |
| Veinor | so how can I install the restricted binaries if I don't have a net connection on that computer? | 21:51 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: do you know of any top network managers Ubuntu users can use? | 21:51 |
| ArthurArchnix | tomtommy: The best way is wipe. Or shred. And as the makers of both those programs will tell you, they can't guarentee they work. | 21:51 |
| tomtommy | let me rephrase my question.... What is the most secure way to delete files in Ubuntu WITHOUT melting the HDD? :) | 21:51 |
| MasterShrek | tomtommy, is there someone that is going to be on that machine as your user or as root? because if not then you dont really have much to worry about | 21:51 |
| tomtommy | ArthurArchnix, ok gotcha | 21:51 |
| AJC_Z0 | tomtommy: It's trivial to configure the browser to use only memory cache | 21:51 |
| Slart | tomtommy: I would say that melting it is indeed the best way.. but nevermind.. a wipe takes a long long time to do properly.. plan for a couple of days of non-stop-writing to the hd | 21:51 |
| MasterShrek | tomtommy, unless they have physical access where they could use a livecd | 21:52 |
| tomtommy | AJC_Z0, how can I do that? | 21:52 |
| pingui | well i were wonder if i can protec my bookmark qhit a password | 21:52 |
| EminX | MasterShrek: I'm wondering why it wont work, I found on forums a lot of these questions : when I select start Install Ubuntu I get these errors: "isapnp: checksum for device 1 is not valid (0x89)" and "isapnp: checksum for device 2 is not valid (0xbe)", | 21:52 |
| desertc | Q: How would I find the errors being produced by the Nautilus CD Burner? I am getting "Unhandled error, aborting" every time I try and create a disc. | 21:52 |
| danand | tomtommy - make sure you have a BIOS password - stops people getting in with live CD's | 21:52 |
| tomtommy | can I tell Opera and Firefox to use RAM instead of writing to HDD? | 21:52 |
| howdy | MasterShrek: do u know of any good network managers I could use on my ubuntu? | 21:52 |
| bruenig | howdy: ifconfig and iwconfig | 21:53 |
| Slart | tomtommy: I know you can do it with firefox.. not sure about opera | 21:53 |
| EminX | MasterShrek: there must be a solution, I saw somebody had installed ubuntu on VPC (youtube) | 21:53 |
| AJC_Z0 | tomtommy: As for "securely wiping" specific files, that requires tracking down the specific disk blocks containing the data and that's non-trivial | 21:53 |
| tomtommy | Slart, how I do it with firefox? | 21:53 |
| tomtommy | AJC_Z0, u would know | 21:53 |
| Slart | tomtommy: but then again.. I'm not sure you can make linux keep that memory off the hard drive.. swap files and such | 21:53 |
| tomtommy | Slart, :P | 21:53 |
| howdy | bruenig: thats a program used for scanning and setting IP config | 21:53 |
| sdfewfs | when i create a bridge device with brctl and add the interfaces, i associate the wifi card with the accesspoint and grabs an IP address, i can ping the IP assigned to the card, but i'm unable to ping the accesspoint, remove the devices from the bridge, and ping works. any ideas? | 21:53 |
| AJC_Z0 | tomtommy: Look for the relevant menu under Preferences or use about:config | 21:53 |
| pingui | well i were wonder if i can protec my bookmark whit a password | 21:54 |
| bruenig | howdy: ok iwconfig ifconfig and some dhcp client, dhclient perhaps | 21:54 |
| tomtommy | brb | 21:54 |
| Slart | tomtommy: what kind of security are we talking about here? hiding the latest britney pic from the wife? or keeping CIA secrets away from the evil canadians? =) | 21:54 |
| linkslice | synaptic is telling me to use the broken filter to locate missing packages, I've found that option, but don't know the next step | 21:54 |
| bruenig | howdy: didn't realize I needed to specify that last point | 21:54 |
| AJC_Z0 | tomtommy: Are you a good retard or a bad troll? | 21:54 |
| sinbox | why are you so worried tomtommy you gonna do a BCCI on someone? | 21:54 |
| bruenig | thought it was fairly self evident | 21:54 |
| pingui | well i were wonder if i can protec my bookmark whit a password | 21:54 |
| howdy | bruenig: im on about network managers... | 21:54 |
| tomtommy | Slart, keeping my brit pics away from the feds :) lol | 21:54 |
| ArthurArchnix | Slart Huh... I thought that stood for Canadian intelligence agency. | 21:54 |
| bruenig | howdy: what the hell is a network manager then | 21:54 |
| mysterycool | hey need some help with installing metasploit | 21:54 |
| howdy | bruenig:such as wifi radar | 21:55 |
| tomtommy | sinbox, define worried | 21:55 |
| mysterycool | it wont let me untar it the .tar.gz file :S | 21:55 |
| * BrainSurg notes that Canadians have CSIS | 21:55 | |
| bruenig | howdy: iwlist, iwconfig, dhclient | 21:55 |
| bruenig | howdy: that is what wifi-radar is | 21:55 |
| howdy | bruenig: or the one that comes with ubuntu | 21:55 |
| bruenig | iwlist iwconfig and dhclient | 21:55 |
| sinbox | well, if you were not worried why would you bother about securely deleting the files | 21:55 |
| Veinor | How can I get it to not try to fetch the modules from the internet | 21:55 |
| pwuertz | hi! I accidently installed grub on my usb-drive-mbr... now my bootloader at usb-partition1 won't be executed anymore... how can i remove grub from the mbr? | 21:55 |
| howdy | bruenig, im after different network handlers | 21:56 |
| Slart | tomtommy: the feds.. then we're back at melting.. but I guess disabling swap and then forcing firefox to use memory only.. or you could look into creating a truecrypt volume on a memory drive.. that ought to keep them out for a while | 21:56 |
| howdy | brueni: i cant explain any further if u dont already understand | 21:56 |
| bruenig | howdy: it is always just iwconfig iwlist and dhclient, doesn't matter what dinky ass icons you put around it, it is always that | 21:56 |
| bruenig | wifi-radar is a python script, a poor one at that | 21:56 |
| === mehteenager is now known as MrObvious | ||
| tomtommy | Slart, why do I need a swap partition anyway? I have 1 GB RAM | 21:56 |
| howdy | bruenig: yes i know that, but there are different network managers you can use. for example windows comes with its own crappy one, or u can install wifi hopper or oddyssey like i have | 21:57 |
| sdfewfs | when i create a bridge device with brctl and add the interfaces, i associate the wifi card with the accesspoint and grabs an IP address, i can ping the IP assigned to the card, but i'm unable to ping the accesspoint, remove the devices from the bridge, and ping works. any ideas? | 21:57 |
| Slart | tomtommy: if something in your computer needs more than 1 GB of ram.. like opening yahoo.com in firefox =) | 21:57 |
| tomtommy | do I really need a swap partition? | 21:57 |
| cafuego | tomtommy: it allows for unused ram to be used as disk cache, and putting unused apps in swap. | 21:57 |
| bruenig | windows has its own networking tools | 21:57 |
| tomtommy | Slart, WHAT? opening yahoo.com in firefox takles more than 1 GB RAM? | 21:57 |
| Slart | tomtommy: it isn't mandatory.. but I would say it's recommended | 21:57 |
| cafuego | tomtommy: Overall that's a net speedup. | 21:57 |
| danand | mysterycool - are you trying to untar a file.tar.gz?? | 21:57 |
| bruenig | the networking tools EVERY script uses in gnu/linux is iwconfig, ifconfig, iwlist | 21:58 |
| bruenig | and perhaps different dhcp clients | 21:58 |
| mysterycool | danand: no, ive installed it successfully but i cant get it to run | 21:58 |
| howdy | bruenig: yes i just said that | 21:58 |
| Alan | How would I go about finding out what is locking my sound device? I've killed everything that has been using it, that i know of, but it's still locked for some reason | 21:58 |
| bruenig | ok so use those | 21:58 |
| tomtommy | how can I disable swap file to test it and see how everything runs? | 21:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | I've got 1GB of RA and turned off my swap. But I boot to about 150MB and don't do much more than open firefox, exaile and openoffice. Watch a movie sometimes. | 21:58 |
| BrainSurg | Alan: try fuser /dev/dsp | 21:58 |
| mysterycool | ? | 21:58 |
| howdy | bruenig, im looking for ones i can use on my linux OS | 21:58 |
| Slart | tomtommy: nah.. but make it one instance of firefox with 10 or so tabs.. add GIMP with some vacation photo.. and gnome.. and you're getting close | 21:58 |
| cafuego | tomtommy: Not if you use greasemonkey to make most of it not display :-) | 21:58 |
| swombat_ | what's the terminal equivalent for "Alt-1" (In the same sense that Backspace maps to ^H or ^?)? | 21:58 |
| BrainSurg | tomtommy: swapoff /dev/xxx | 21:58 |
| swombat_ | terminal string i mean | 21:58 |
| Alan | BrainSurg, no output | 21:58 |
| tomtommy | i only have 2 apps MAX open at same time | 21:58 |
| bruenig | howdy: iwconfig wlan0 essid "accesspoint" ; dhcpd wlan0 | 21:58 |
| Rawk03 | hello, ever since the last update kacpid has been hogging my cpu, how would I kill this and keep it from coming back? | 21:58 |
| BrainSurg | where xxx is your swap partition. | 21:58 |
| bruenig | howdy: success, you have just now connected to the access point | 21:58 |
| tomtommy | BrainSurg, how do I know what my swap /dev is? | 21:59 |

| calc | what is the proper way to flush .thumbnails cache? | 21:59 |
| Slart | tomtommy: try turning it off.. you'll get warnings in the logs if you run out of memory.. | 21:59 |
| calc | is it safe to just rm it? | 21:59 |
| tomtommy | Slart, not sure how I turn it off | 21:59 |
| danand | Alan - I was having this problem the other night with some one here. fuser unfortunately didn't show up the process that was blocking the sound | 21:59 |
| ArthurArchnix | calc rm ~/.thumbnails and yes, it's safe. Just don't use sudo. | 21:59 |
| tomtommy | swapoff /dev/xxx ??? | 21:59 |

| tomtommy | Slart, wher? I have no idea where that is :P | 22:00 |
| EminX | I'm having problem trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 on Virtual PC 2007, when I select start Install Ubuntu I get these errors: "isapnp: checksum for device 1 is not valid (0x89)" and "isapnp: checksum for device 2 is not valid (0xbe)", I'v tried solutions found on the forums ( like F4 for lowest vga resolution and vga = 771) but still i'm disapointed, just black screen | 22:00 |
| scraga1 | ok, whenever I restart my computer say's "no resume image" and boots me to TTYL(spelling)1 for command line, I know I can use startx to get gui back, but how can I perminatly fix this problem? | 22:00 |
| tomtommy | Slart, I dont need gparted, i used this: sudo cfdisk /dev/sdc | 22:01 |
| Slart | tomtommy: that works too.. | 22:01 |
| calc | ArthurArchnix: its smart enough to regenerate the thumbnails for the images again later, right? | 22:01 |
| calc | ArthurArchnix: i have 790MB of thumbnails which was why i wanted to purge them :) | 22:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | calc: You can even do it in nautilus, which is how I do it. | 22:01 |
| tomtommy | how do I turn swap on again if I need to? | 22:01 |
| some1-- | can anyone give me Ubuntu LiveCD iso filename? | 22:01 |
| calc | ArthurArchnix: ok | 22:01 |
| tomtommy | swapon? :P | 22:01 |
| Slart | tomtommy: give it a guess. if swapoff turns it off.. =) | 22:01 |
| danand | Alan - i was kinda tired by that point - suggested a reboot ;) - are you sure the device is in use? ie can you do a cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp or /dev/audio? | 22:01 |
| Slart | yay... cookie for tomtommy =) | 22:02 |
| ArthurArchnix | calc Yes it will recreate them. If I find that a thumbnail isnt' being rendered I delete my thumbnail cache and that usually fixes it. | 22:02 |
| calc | ArthurArchnix: ah ok :-) | 22:02 |
| tomtommy | swapon /dev/xxx ? :) | 22:02 |
| Alan | danand, i get "Device or resource busy" | 22:02 |

| scraga1 | ok, whenever I restart my computer say's "no resume image" and boots me to TTYL(spelling)1 for command line, I know I can use startx to get gui back, but how can I permanently fix this problem? | 22:04 |
| Slart | tomtommy: or use a really really old drive for swap.. you'll hear it spin up =) | 22:04 |
| danand | Alan - have you tried restarting alsa- ie sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 22:04 |
| ArthurArchnix | calc: If you're really keen, you could learn to write a little script, that would check if the folder ~/thumbnails is larger than say 500MB, and if it is, then finds the oldest files and deletes them until the size of the folder is less than 500MB. You could then set this sript to run at logout. | 22:04 |
| tomtommy | Slart, ok, and then I just type: swapon . gotcha | 22:04 |
| tomtommy | Slart, i dont have a really really old drive. im rich :) | 22:05 |
| calc | ArthurArchnix: yea | 22:05 |

| Slart | niklas: sorry.. right click, select properties.. then search for the open with thingy | 22:08 |

| scraga1 | ok, whenever I restart my computer say's "no resume image" and boots me to TTYL(spelling)1 for command line, I know I can use startx to get gui back, but how can I permanently fix this problem? | 22:09 |
| Slart | yes? | 22:09 |
| niklas | Slart, thanks, that did the trick :) | 22:09 |
| Slart | niklas: you're welcome | 22:09 |
| ArthurArchnix | kthakore: Well, you seem to know what needs to be done then. Boot a live cd, find where it has mounted your ubuntu partition (e.g., /mnt/root) open menu.lst (e.g., /mnt/root/boot/grub/menu.lst) and change the root dev id. You either need to find the uuid of the partition and put that in there, or rename it to /dev/sd# and then make a similar change. Then open up fstab (e.g., /mnt/etc/fstab) and make the corresponding changes | 22:10 |

| tominglis | i was following these instructions, but they are out of date: http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=HowTo_compile_for_Ubuntu_6.06_LTS | 22:42 |
| Tu13es | zossso: yeah, that's what I've got too. I'll look into trimming some packages to see if that helps. | 22:42 |
| ArthurArchnix | ntemis: Yeah. Open a terminal and type "totem", then open a movie and play it. The see what kind of error messages its giving you. | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | Flare183, yes.. what's the syntax.. cabextract <filename>? | 22:42 |
| Tu13es | zossso: let me know if you get anywhere with building it from scratch or let me know if you want meto test anything :) | 22:42 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: I might try that, but I imagine the machine will see the lease and assume that it doesn't need to be renewed | 22:42 |
| Flare183 | Scunizi: yeap | 22:42 |
| Scunizi | Flare183, thanks | 22:43 |
| ntemis | ok | 22:43 |
| brianko | any clue how to disable file-roller? It interferes with any type of download I do with lynx... | 22:43 |
| ntemis | thanks | 22:43 |
| Flare183 | Scunizi: no problem | 22:43 |
| djzn | hi... VIDEO question here... anyone knows how to convert a "H.264/AVC"(matroska) file to standard .M2V ??? | 22:43 |
| joobaby | i just switched to ubuntu and it runs SLOW on my computer, I can't get sound from the internet and itw on't play my mp3s, it also took 60 seconds for this to type | 22:43 |
| Slart | perhaps you can put the "echo 'some text' >> somefile" part into changemyfile.sh and then run "sudo changemyfile.sh" .. it might work | 22:43 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: I guess I could modify the lease stored by dhclient... | 22:43 |
| Slart | Lennart.. see above | 22:43 |
| ntemis | jackd: not found | 22:43 |
| Flare183 | joobaby: you might need to try Xubuntu | 22:43 |
| zossso | Tu13es: Sure. I think Knoppix will boot to ram with no problem, but I'm looking into something smaller. I'll let you know | 22:43 |
| ntemis | what is this? | 22:43 |
| ntemis | jackd: not found | 22:43 |
| Flare183 | ntemis: sudo apt-get install jack | 22:44 |
| joobaby | can i just dl that? | 22:44 |
| Slart | FlyingSquirrel32: you have, of course, read the man page for the dhclient ? of course.. =) | 22:44 |
| Flare183 | joobaby: yeap | 22:44 |

| Flare183 | bascule: thanks | 22:45 |
| bascule | welcome | 22:45 |
| Slart | lennart: here are some tips, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-538832.html | 22:45 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: yes. every option you could imagine, but I couldn't find any command to simply send the renew message to the server. | 22:45 |
| ArthurArchnix | ntemis: Irrelevant, I get the same thing but I'm seeing the video. | 22:45 |
| ntemis | still | 22:45 |
| ntemis | ackd: not found | 22:45 |
| zossso | Tu13es: *thinking* if ubuntu was trimmed down a bit, it could possibly work | 22:45 |
| ntemis | (totem:6566): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap: | 22:46 |

| ntemis | borders don't fit within the image | 22:46 |
| zossso | Tu13es: how long until it drops you to the initfs prompt? | 22:46 |
| Flare183 | !paste | ntemis (get used to it) | 22:46 |
| ubotu | ntemis (get used to it): pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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) | 22:46 |
| ArthurArchnix | ntemis: Alright, change the theme to human and see if you can play the movie. | 22:46 |
| Tu13es | zossso: hm, not long, maybe 20-30 seconds after selecting it from the boot menu? it shows the Ubuntu loading menu for a bit and then dumps me to it | 22:47 |
| Tu13es | zossso: I can time it if it'd help | 22:47 |
| joobaby | what do I need to to do to get old ubuntu off? | 22:47 |
| zossso | Tu13es: nah, that sounds about right | 22:47 |
| Flare183 | joobaby: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop | 22:47 |
| Flare183 | joobaby: just make sure it doesn't break the dependanices of xubuntu-desktop | 22:48 |
| WhoaItsPhil | i install gsynaptics and got it working...but i disabled tapping because i hate it and its too sensitive...but even with tapping disabled i am still getting super sensitive taps that i do not want | 22:48 |
| Flare183 | joobaby: ok? | 22:48 |
| Slart | FlyingSquirrel32: hmm.. I've googled quite a bit now.. haven't found a solution so far.. are you sure the dhcp protocol even supports renewing an ip? | 22:48 |
| wittyphotons | hey which program should i use if i want to play my music directly off of my ipod? | 22:48 |
| Flare183 | !ipod | wittyphotons | 22:48 |
| * spiderbatdad says, "Hello World!" | 22:48 | |
| ubotu | wittyphotons: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 22:48 |
| Slart | !ipod | wittyphotons | 22:48 |
| dxdt | wittyphotons: I know amarok can for a fact, but I thought that rhythmbox could too | 22:48 |
| ArthurArchnix | exaile can | 22:48 |
| Flare183 | Slart: hehe got to it before you could | 22:48 |
| ntemis | NO go | 22:48 |
| ntemis | sh: jackd: not found again after i changed my theme | 22:48 |
| juice_ | wittyphotons: i use rythmbox or gtkpod | 22:48 |

| ph8 | does anyone know much about network cards? Mine literally keeps crashing my machine and i'm wondering if turning off auto-neg (it's at 100mbps) could sort it out - is this a solution I should really push to get in? Turning it off with ethtool at the moment crashes the machine - but i'm thinking that might be expected? It's remote so i can't restart networking :o Would have to add it as a boot script | 22:49 |
| wittyphotons | yeah but gtkpod and rhythmbox, as far as i can tell, just let me organize or add music to my ipod | 22:49 |
| WhoaItsPhil | i install gsynaptics and got it working...but i disabled tapping because i hate it and its too sensitive...but even with tapping disabled i am still getting super sensitive taps that i do not want...anyone know anything about this or have any solutions? | 22:49 |
| wittyphotons | i want to play the music on the ipod, from the ipod | 22:49 |
| wittyphotons | like i can when i connect it in itunes | 22:49 |
| juice_ | rythmbox | 22:50 |
| Flare183 | Slart: hehe | 22:50 |
| bascule | exaile or amarok | 22:50 |
| Slart | ph8: I'd check what module is being used and see if that might be the problem.. perhaps there is an updated module available.. | 22:50 |
| bascule | ph8: what card is it? | 22:50 |
| joobaby | flare can you further explain sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop? | 22:50 |
| tominglis | hi, i installed a driver to the wrong location, and i was wondering how i uninstall it, do i just delete the file? | 22:50 |
| tominglis | i was following these instructions, but they are out of date: http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=HowTo_compile_for_Ubuntu_6.06_LTS | 22:50 |
| Slart | ph8: I've heard of auto-sense creating connection trouble.. but not crashing a machine | 22:50 |
| wittyphotons | i'll check out amarok and exaile, thanks | 22:50 |
| juice_ | wittyphotons: i use rythmbox | 22:51 |
| zossso | Tu13es: Instead of following the directions as they appeared on the web, I only commented out some lines in the 'casper' file | 22:51 |
| bascule | tominglis: make clean, delete the file .ko if you wish | 22:51 |
| dxdt | WhoaItsPhil: yeah you can modify the crap out of the synaptic thing. More than you could imagine. lemme see if I can find a link to the documentation on it | 22:51 |
| Flare183 | joobaby: by running that command you are removing ubuntu itself | 22:51 |
| Tu13es | zossso: ah, hm | 22:51 |
| Slart | tominglis: do you have the source? | 22:51 |
| ntemis | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer/+bug/154028 | 22:51 |
| Tu13es | zossso: well, I'll try the site to see if it makes a difference? | 22:51 |
| ntemis | i found this bug here | 22:51 |
| ntemis | any solution? | 22:51 |
| zossso | Tu13es: commented lines: 568, 570-572 | 22:52 |
| Slart | tominglis: you can follow the same instructions but make the last step 4. sudo make uninstall and it will hopefully remove all files it installed | 22:52 |
| joobaby | alright, so I need to dl and burn xbuntu? | 22:52 |
| Slart | tominglis: oops.. sorry.. 5. sudo make uninstall | 22:52 |
| zossso | Tu13es: just so `live_dest="ram"`... seemed to work better | 22:53 |
| === [1]DoYouKnow is now known as DoYouKnow | ||
| Tu13es | zossso: in where? | 22:53 |
| zossso | Tu13es: /casper/chroot/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/casper | 22:53 |
| WhoaItsPhil | dxdt, any luck? | 22:54 |
| zossso | Tu13es: Then regenerated the initrd.gz as said on website. | 22:54 |
| ArthurArchnix | For some reason, ubuntuforums will hang when loading and send my cpu into overdrive. | 22:54 |
| ntemis | and a newbie question | 22:55 |
| ntemis | how can i remotly connect to another ubuntu gutsy through internet? | 22:55 |
| Tu13es | zossso: hm, did you see this on the wiki? The stock casper "toram" functionality is broken in Feisty. In addition, even when it worked, it would completely decompress the filesystem into RAM, which requires 3-4x more RAM, and is hence undesired. | 22:55 |
| Tu13es | zossso: want to take this to PM? | 22:55 |
| ntemis | what i must use/do? | 22:55 |
| Slart | ntemis: use vnc or freenx | 22:55 |
| Slart | !vnc | ntemis | 22:55 |
| ubotu | ntemis: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 22:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ntemis, rdesktop | 22:55 |
| dxdt | WhoaItsPhil: /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/ has some of the info I'm looking for, like the files there show some of the options, but it isn't the more comprehensive list I remember.... But there are all sorts of finger pressure high and low and taptime high and low that you can use to get it how you want. | 22:55 |
| === gizbot_ is now known as gizbot | ||
| WhoaItsPhil | ok that sounds good...but i thought gsynaptics was supposed to do most of that for me...and it has an option for disabling tapping...but when i click to disable it, it still isn't disabled...tapping still occurs and its very annoying | 22:57 |
| === sean__ is now known as allquixotic | ||
| Administrator__ | hello? | 22:57 |
| dxdt | WhoaItsPhil: http://linux.die.net/man/5/synaptics has a ton of options that may help. I've never played with gsynaptics so I'm not sure on that side :-/ | 22:57 |
| Slart | !hi | Administrator__ | 22:57 |
| ubotu | Administrator__: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 22:57 |
| WhoaItsPhil | ok thanks | 22:57 |
| === Administrator__ is now known as Antje | ||
| tominglis | Slart: thanks loads, presumably i need to change the makefile to the original line that i tried to install it at not the corrected line | 22:58 |
| Slart | tominglis: yes.. that sounds reasonable | 22:58 |
| Antje | Im having a problem with my mouse it keeps freezing : O | 22:59 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: I found that dhcpcd does have a renew option. Would installing it cause conflicts? | 22:59 |
| Slart | tominglis: I think almost all scripts that use "make install" also supports "make uninstall" | 22:59 |
| tominglis | Slart: ok fab, i'll give it a go | 22:59 |
| Slart | FlyingSquirrel32: isn't that a dhcp *server* ? | 22:59 |
| Slart | !info dhcpcd | 23:00 |
| lennart | Slart: ok I get how the form goes, sudo sh -c 'echo "text" >> file', but that doesnt cut it for me, i have to do sudo sh -c 'echo ""*" and some text" >> file', and the "*" makes it a problem??? | 23:00 |
| ubotu | dhcpcd (source: dhcpcd): DHCP client for automatically configuring IPv4 networking. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:3.0.17-2 (gutsy), package size 38 kB, installed size 160 kB | 23:00 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: no. DHCPCD= DHCP Client Daemon | 23:00 |
| Slart | lennart: you might have to escape the " inside the outer ".. so it would be something like this.. echo "\" | 23:01 |
| Slart | lennart: you might have to escape the " inside the outer ".. so it would be something like this.. echo "\"*\" and some other text" | 23:01 |
| lennart | okey thanks im gonna try that | 23:01 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/dhcpcd | 23:01 |
| Slart | FlyingSquirrel32: ah.. I have no idea if it will conflict with the original client.. | 23:01 |
| rinaldi_ | is there a way to shut down ubuntu when a certain process, or terminal app finishes? | 23:02 |
| Slart | lennart: read about this in the bash man page.. or google for bash help | 23:02 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: And I don't know if installing it will really fix the problem . . . | 23:02 |
| PeP` | hi.. got alittle problem... I get a "VFS cannot open root device "sda2" or 08:02" "please append correct "root=" option kernel panic : vfs : uabl to mount root fs.." | 23:02 |

| Pici | iter: Its a known issue, the freenode staff are taking care of it. | 23:12 |
| ph8 | should i put an autoneg on boot script up or will that mess up the machine? | 23:12 |

| Pici | !feeding the troll | 23:12 |
| ubotu | The above mess was caused by someone who thought it was funny (they're gone now). Please ignore it completely, since discussing it and making a fuss will only make them think they've reached their "fun" goal. | 23:12 |

| Zoiks | Hi guys, I have a raid 5 that seems to have developed a superblock error, anyone have any knowledge on the subject? | 23:15 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | Slart: Okay, they seem to mingle well together, but I cant see how to get my init scripts to use dhcpcd instead of dhclient. | 23:15 |
| CLLEW | ph8: well, thing is, the process isnt here anymore...it goes for like a minute then leaves. I suppose I will have to wait for it to happen again. | 23:16 |
| CLLEW | it also flickers in and out in the system monitor while it happens. I will see a blank process (sometimes two even) and in like a second it will be gone, then come back. all the while the CPU is jumping up | 23:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | CLLEW, See if it isn't something like trackerd | 23:17 |
| Slart | FlyingSquirrel32: there are scripts for the ifup and ifdown events... I can't really remember where... perhaps they are compatible so you can just create a symbolic link in /bin for dhclient | 23:17 |
| CLLEW | Jack: i was actually thinking that myself. i just changed teh settings to be less resource intensive and I'll see if that fixes it | 23:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:18 |
| CLLEW | it was at max on Indexing speed, so I think that could well be that. ty for help. i'll be back to bug if it happens again :D | 23:18 |

| mehmet_ | what music making programs are there for ubuntu? | 23:26 |
| SubOne | I ran scanModem and found that I have a "HDA Intel Si3054 Modem". How do I determine which one of the modem drivers listed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto will work with it? | 23:27 |
| thruxton | I am having problems with NetworkManager not being able to connect to an open network at my current hotel, booting the laptop to windows is the only way now to get on the net, the wirless card is fine as it connects to my last hotels without issue, is there some way to make NetworkManager verbose with helpful error messages perhaps? | 23:27 |
| bazhang | EminX: also check the md5 sum and see if that is a corrupt download or a badly burned iso | 23:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SubOne, Go to terminal and type dmesg | grep ttyS tell me if you see your modem subsume tab complete got me... | 23:27 |
| mehmet_ | !music making | 23:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about music making - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:27 |
| bazhang | thruxton: just try via the command line | 23:28 |
| SubOne | Jack_Sparrow: nothing outputs | 23:28 |
| thruxton | bazhang: with network manager or another program? | 23:28 |
| Zoiks | cody-somerville: i have googled it and have not been able to find a case that exactly resembles my situation | 23:28 |
| Zoiks | i really cant lose the data on there | 23:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SubOne, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-417135.html last entry | 23:28 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, Maybe if you told us exactly what the problem was, someone would be able to help you? :) | 23:29 |
| bazhang | thruxton: go into the terminal and type ifconfig; should give the name of your wireless nic--something like wlan0 or the like; then try sudo dhclient (name of wireless card) | 23:29 |
| Annirak | I have a router installation running 2.6.22 and a simple iptables NAT on a PIII 733. The user of this NAT is complaining that when he bypasses the NAT, he gets 4.8Mbps, while he only gets 2.4Mbps through the NAT. For the purposes of the test, he removed both the NAT and one terminal from the LAN and connected them directly together. What can I do to reduce the bottleneck? | 23:29 |
| === swombat_ is now known as swombat | ||
| SubOne | Jack_Sparrow: dont i need to install the drivers first or something? | 23:30 |
| thruxton | bazhang, ok, I will give that a shot (its wlan0 btw) | 23:30 |
| Zoiks | cody-somerville: i was just seeing if anyone had any knowledge before I start rattling on about a heap of things | 23:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !dialup | 23:30 |
| ubotu | You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto - Also try disabling/removing KNetworkManager if KDE applications cannot connect using dial-up | 23:30 |
| bazhang | thruxton: then it would be sudo dhclient wlan0 | 23:31 |
| okkay | !homepna | 23:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about homepna - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:31 |
| iter | Zoiks: can you assemble/mount the raid? | 23:31 |
| SubOne | Jack_Sparrow: I am already reading that page didnt you hear my question? | 23:31 |
| okkay | !pna | 23:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pna - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:31 |
| okkay | shit | 23:31 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, Generally people respond better to specific questions, FYI :) | 23:31 |
| Pici | !language | okkay | 23:31 |
| ubotu | okkay: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 23:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SubOne, I personally dont bother with those. hardware modems always work, lin-win modems seldom give me what I need | 23:31 |
| thruxton | bazhang, thank you, gotta reboot to try it | 23:31 |
| Zoiks | I have a raid 5 that will not start up cleanly because of a superblock error, If i force it to start in degraded mode, I still cant mount it because it has a bad fs/option/journal etc | 23:32 |
| okkay | Pici: sorry for that. | 23:32 |
| Zoiks | cody-somerville: ok | 23:32 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, What is the exact error message? :) | 23:32 |
| SubOne | Jack_Sparrow, sorry but I'm still a bit confused what i should do | 23:32 |
| cottima | Hello. What is MPS table version, and how do I figure out which (1.1 or 1.4) it should be? | 23:32 |
| Zoiks | what is that site I paste stuff to so i dont get in trouble for flooding cody-somerville? | 23:33 |
| iter | !pastebin | Zoiks | 23:33 |
| ubotu | Zoiks: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined 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) | 23:33 |

| Mighty_Penguin | will i have problems with intel core 2 duo, and 4gb ram with ubuntu? | 23:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SubOne, the last entry on that page said they reinstalled the sl-modem package and got it working. that is where I would start, but other than that.. I cant help ou | 23:33 |
| SubOne | k ty | 23:34 |
| kitche | Mighty_Penguin: well you shouldn't considering that linux is POSIX | 23:34 |
| subsume | Ok...so.... how do ubuntu thin clients know how to look in a server's /opt for a setup? | 23:34 |
| subsume | Can I please get 3 neurons of attention from someone? =) | 23:34 |
| consolejockey | question: what controls the frequency of the DHCPREQUEST? | 23:34 |
| Mighty_Penguin | kitche so no? | 23:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mighty_Penguin, no should be fine. but as a new user I would suggest you run 32 bit os until you get more familiar | 23:34 |
| Zoiks | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58307/ | 23:34 |
| Mighty_Penguin | ok thanks | 23:34 |
| * nickrud looks, but only has 2 neurons available | 23:34 | |
| subsume | Is it so hard to explain? Seems really stupid, simple, and general | 23:35 |
| Mighty_Penguin | erm, atm i think i'm running 64bit, and i'm fine but this machine has 2gb | 23:35 |
| tim1 | guys please help me with my sound card please. its not available ? | 23:35 |
| consolejockey | I have a workstation that is connected to a DHCP-enabled wifi modem. I'm having connectivity problems and when I look at /var/log/syslog I see that every two minutes there is a DHCPREQUEST, followed by an acknowledgement (DHCPACK) followed by a binding to the external address... | 23:35 |
| consolejockey | I don't htink it should be every two minutes unless it's expiring, no? | 23:35 |
| tim1 | it says. No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. | 23:36 |
| consolejockey | and would that be a function of the wifi device or something I can configure in linux? | 23:36 |
| nickrud | subsume: You're probably not getting an answer cuz there's no one familiar with the thin client around right now | 23:36 |
| Zoiks | I cant assemble the raid with sdb1 even if I force it | 23:36 |
| Mighty_Penguin | i didnt know if i would have a problem or not with more than 3gb of ram that is all | 23:36 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, http://search.luky.org/linux-kernel.2005/msg80164.html | 23:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mighty_Penguin, While there is a ram limit I still suggest 32.. if you want to be a wild man.. install both side by side and dual boot between them | 23:37 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, That fellow used e2fsck to remove the journal and recover | 23:38 |
| Mighty_Penguin | so, you're just suggesting stick with regular release of Ubuntu instead of amd64? | 23:38 |
| joobaby | how do you know which version of ubuntu you're running? someone else installed for me | 23:38 |
| Zoiks | cody-somerville: is there any danger to the data? what about it being part of raid | 23:38 |
| nickrud | joobaby: lsb_release -a in a terminal | 23:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mighty_Penguin, yes, or like I said you can install both and dual boot between them | 23:39 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, The guy stated that there was no way for him to detect corruption | 23:39 |
| Spiral_Tail | I realize I may be butting into a lot of conversations, and I'm also way new to this, but umm... | 23:39 |
| Mighty_Penguin | ok Jack_Sparrow, so the system will boot and work, it just wont know i do have 4gb of ram, and will only use 3gb of ram? | 23:39 |
| subsume | Spiral_Tail: just ask. | 23:39 |
| Mighty_Penguin | if this is so, then thats fine, i was just making sure i wouldnt have headaches in the future | 23:39 |
| WillieDaPimp | what would miro depend on to play movies ?? cause every time i try to watch a movie it acts like its about to start then closes back immediately | 23:39 |
| Mighty_Penguin | thanks Jack_Sparrow | 23:39 |
| Spiral_Tail | I turned on "Desktops on a cube" in the desktop effects panel | 23:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Mighty_Penguin, np | 23:40 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, However, removing the superblock journal will not corrupt your data. | 23:40 |
| Spiral_Tail | and the cube doesn't work correctly at this point | 23:40 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, (to the best of my knowledge) | 23:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Spiral_Tail, Doesnt work isnt very clear | 23:40 |
| tim1 | I have no sound or cards i get the error "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." | 23:40 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, If you're super concerned, I would make an image of the raid before taking any further write operations | 23:40 |
| tim1 | help | 23:40 |
| subsume | QUESTION: What software needs to be setup on a thin client, in general? | 23:40 |
| * spiderbatdad is away: "dinner!" | 23:40 | |
| Zoiks | how would i do that? | 23:40 |
| Spiral_Tail | my apologies, let me elaborate... | 23:41 |
| Zoiks | cody-somerville: how would i do that? | 23:41 |
| _Oz_ | Spiral_Tail: is it a two-sided pane rather than a cube? | 23:41 |
| joobaby | for some reason I cant get sound to work on webpages | 23:41 |
| Spiral_Tail | when I first checked the box for cube to be enabled, it worked fine | 23:41 |
| Spiral_Tail | after I restarted X, the ctrl-alt-down setup doesn't work | 23:41 |
| nickrud | subsume: now that I think of it, edubuntu is heavily invested in thin clients, maybe #edubuntu can point you in the right direction | 23:41 |
| Spiral_Tail | the cube doesn't show an actual rotation animation, which i thought was cool | 23:42 |
| subsume | nickrud: dead room. | 23:42 |
| Spiral_Tail | and instead has decided to fade between desktops | 23:42 |
| cody-somerville | Zoiks, I gotta run for now. I'll msg you when I get back | 23:42 |
| nickrud | subsume: sucks. It was pretty active once ... | 23:42 |
| Spiral_Tail | ctrl + alt + left/right still switches desktops | 23:42 |
| subsume | nickrud: yeah. always down to two dozen | 23:42 |
| Zoiks | cody-somerville: ok thanks | 23:42 |
| credible | Spiral_Tail: feisty's compiz is extremely buggy, you should upgrade to gutsy | 23:42 |
| Spiral_Tail | heh, i've tried | 23:43 |
| _Oz_ | spiral_tail: make sure you have at least 2 desktops (4 is needed for a cube) set up under "General" in advanced desktop settings | 23:43 |
| Spiral_Tail | I'm too noob to figure out how to report the error I get | 23:43 |
| nickrud | gutsy's compiz is really buggy on ati | 23:43 |
| WillieDaPimp | miro gives me this error : /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/miro/frontend_implementation/Application.py:45: GtkWarning: gtk_window_set_transient_for: assertion `parent == NULL || GTK_IS_WINDOW (parent)' failed gtk.main() | 23:43 |
| Spiral_Tail | allow me to go grab the exact message I recieve | 23:43 |
| Spiral_Tail | it shouldn't take long | 23:43 |
| fabio | yes | 23:43 |
| _Oz_ | Spiral_Tail: oh, wait... you're running feisty? and is it an ATI card? | 23:43 |
| fabio | depending on what ati | 23:43 |
| Spiral_Tail | _Oz_: I am running feisty, but am blissfully unaware of what an ATI card is | 23:44 |
| zelrikriando | hello all | 23:44 |
| hischild | Spiral_Tail, the counterpart of nvidia | 23:44 |
| _Oz_ | Spiral_Tail: okay, the first order of biz is upgrading to gutsy. after that, you need to determine if you have an ATI brand video card (such as a radeon). there are many ATI bugs in compiz. | 23:44 |
| fabio | lspci | 23:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Spiral_Tail, How did you install compiz? From where? ANy script etc? | 23:44 |
| hischild | what's the command to add users to a group? | 23:45 |
| Spiral_Tail | I have to assume compiz is the cube | 23:45 |
| _Oz_ | Spiral_Tail: check back with us after you do those two things, because until you're in gutsy and we're sure which type of card you have, we won't really be able to effectively help you. | 23:45 |
| fabio | more than that | 23:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Spiral_Tail, cube is part of compiz.. yes | 23:45 |
| _Oz_ | !adduser | hischild | 23:45 |
| Spiral_Tail | alright, my apologies | 23:45 |
| bazhang | Spiral_Tail: any third party scripts to do that? | 23:45 |

| Spiral_Tail | it was there when I got this setup | 23:46 |

| bazhang | EminX: as I said earlier | 23:47 |
| EminX | bazhang: I did it on innotek VBox | 23:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | EminX, Try it without running it under windows.. | 23:47 |
| bazhang | EminX: it works fine; must be an issue with your iso or burn speed | 23:47 |

| Izzi | hello I am trying to re install windows on laptop | 23:48 |
| hischild | EminX, virtualbox and virtual pc are 2 completely different programs | 23:48 |
| Izzi | alongsides of ubuntu | 23:48 |
| fabio | windows ? | 23:48 |
| bazhang | EminX: then why the worry about VPC? it is flawed software imo | 23:48 |
| EminX | hischild: I know that | 23:48 |
| Izzi | for some web development I have to do | 23:49 |
| fabio | why ? | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Izzi, you will need to reinstall grub when you are done... at the least | 23:49 |
| EminX | bazhang: I need that, in my classes | 23:49 |
| Izzi | okay | 23:49 |
| Izzi | I repartitioned my harddrive | 23:49 |
| fabio | iexplorer ? | 23:49 |
| Izzi | so I have 20 gig free | 23:49 |
| levander | Is http://rdesktop.org giving a blank page for everyone? | 23:49 |
| EminX | bazhang: thanx, and g'night | 23:49 |
| Izzi | does anyone in here have any experience with that sort of thing? | 23:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Izzi, If you added partitions below ubuntu you will have some additional twealing to do to get it right | 23:50 |
| EminX | g'night everyone and thanx a lot | 23:50 |
| Mighty_Penguin | levander yes | 23:50 |
| Spiral_Tail | Could not calculate the upgrade | 23:50 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Spiral_Tail, How did you install compiz? From where? ANy script etc? | 23:50 |
| danand | rhineheart_m - did you set socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file? thats known to help speed samba up on gnu/linux boxes. hope that helps | 23:50 |
| Spiral_Tail | also typo, should be AN unresolvable problem | 23:50 |
| levander | Mighty_Penguin: thanks | 23:50 |
| Mighty_Penguin | levander using firefox it does, and using also on internet explorer it does | 23:51 |
| Mighty_Penguin | yep | 23:51 |
| Spiral_Tail | I did not install Compiz. If I did, I did it unknowingly through update manager | 23:51 |
| micole | so is everyone having a problem updating then? | 23:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Spiral_Tail, ANd you are running feisty? | 23:51 |
| joobaby | can someone link me to like a common command list? | 23:51 |
| levander | Is rdesktop ever as good as sitting at the console of a Windows computer? I'm playing with it here and I don't know if the video artifacts I'm seeing are my weird setup, or just the way rdesktop does things? | 23:51 |
| joobaby | like the one that reboots ubuntu without restarting the system | 23:51 |
| bazhang | joobaby: for doing what | 23:52 |

| Spiral_Tail | lol | 23:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | levander, It is slow, but surprisingly good with the right video configuration | 23:52 |
| fabio | debian has a newer version od compiz fusion ! | 23:52 |
| sd32 | can you use ubuntu with a usb modem? | 23:52 |
| benzs_s | i use ubuntu and decided i wanted to give kubuntu a try, so i installed kubuntu-desktop but now i would like to remove it... is there a proper way of doing things? or is it just about opening synaptic and selecting remove on 'kubuntu-desktop'? | 23:52 |
| fabio | i'm using a smartphone as a modem | 23:53 |
| fabio | and i let you know a microsoft usb modem | 23:53 |
| credible | Spiral_Tail: fixing the bug in feisty's compiz that you're seeing is pretty easy though, run 'gconf-editor', and navigate to /apps/compiz/core/screen0/options, and set number_of_desktops to 1 and hsize to 4 | 23:53 |
| Spiral_Tail | ok | 23:53 |
| sd32 | fabio: thats fab | 23:53 |
| Spiral_Tail | i shall attempt that | 23:54 |
| Spiral_Tail | lol | 23:54 |

| Jack_Sparrow | levander, I did it with trial and error until I got a res that worked. Sorry I dont have an easy answer.. | 23:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !java | 23:55 |
| ubotu | To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) | 23:55 |
| levander | Jack_Sparrow: so, it's mostly desktop resolution on the machine you're rdesktop'ing into? | 23:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Spiral_Tail, Try to think about how it got installed.. or post your sources.list for us to take a peek | 23:56 |
| joobaby | I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras but still luck playing my mp3s | 23:56 |
| windows_ | ubotu i tryed to install it but when i run froswire through terminal it syas your java is old | 23:56 |
