| No1CaNTeL | #drphil :P | 00:02 |
| winterwolf | read above please | 00:02 |
| tehdave | No1CaNTeL: because I have 512mb RAM XD XP barely runs properly when I boot to it (Which I only would do to play games...but due to memory issues it sucks for that) and I have no open RAM really for anything | 00:02 |
| jakeb_ | winterwolf: do you have the package manager running? | 00:03 |
| tehdave | no1cantel: to answer your actual question: oh...to run games when they don't run properly in wine | 00:03 |
| No1CaNTeL | so run ubuntu and v-box xp? seems to work fine on my 512, unless I decide to run apps on both os's at the same time | 00:03 |
| winterwolf | When I try to do a upgrade, cause my update manger wants me too, i get, Unable to get exclusive lock. This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) already running. Please close that application first. | 00:03 |

| eltopo | sup? | 00:03 |
| soundray | Skapare: good. Have you got the two commands I gave you? | 00:03 |
| No1CaNTeL | they probably have a better chance in wine if they are that graphical. v-box uses it's own drivers for the video card, I couldnt load Civ4 in it but I could in wine | 00:03 |

| No1CaNTeL | I have vboxed XP and Vista atm | 00:04 |
| soundray | Skapare: the thing to do is to get a command line, some way. Recovery mode is fairly reliable. Then you run 'apt-get -f install' and 'dpkg --configure -a' as needed, possibly several times until everything falls into place. | 00:04 |
| Skapare | soundray: BTW, I could get to a shell prompt on the normal boot, too | 00:04 |
| efren20 | yes? | 00:05 |
| No1CaNTeL | comes in handy if you program and want to keep your apps platform independant | 00:05 |
| winterwolf | 9 updates that I can't get because of this.... | 00:05 |
| winterwolf | :-S | 00:05 |
| tehdave | no1cantel: vista...vboxed...on 512 RAM? o.O | 00:05 |
| soundray | Skapare: makes no difference now. When you don't see any serious-looking errors any more, do a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' to finish your upgrade. | 00:05 |
| No1CaNTeL | the vbox does not take any ram until you load it btw | 00:05 |
| No1CaNTeL | so that might help | 00:05 |
| No1CaNTeL | no, 1gb | 00:05 |

| ubotu | Y-Town: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 00:06 |

| ubotu | No1CaNTeL: 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) | 00:08 |

| loser555 | dose anyone know what produces Bile ?? | 00:26 |

| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: nothing that I know of, just a fresh install of Ubuntu... | 00:27 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; well, when 8.04 comes out i'm going to try the alternate and see if that works.. | 00:27 |
| bluefoxx | loser555: google, wikipedia. all better to check than the [busy]tech support chat room | 00:27 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: it doesn't have a built in CD drive, it is external only, USB... is that a factor? | 00:27 |
| Corty | Honeydew, qry? #ubuntu-offtopic? *g* | 00:27 |
| yourm01 | ive been searching the forums and have found multiple threads relating to my wireless card but when i go through the process i always get an error about line 181 when i try to install the driver | 00:27 |
| mon^rch | question: what would be the command to invoke a terminal and run a command as a super user? (i want to make a launcher) | 00:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, To my knowledge, you cant use live as upgrade source.. only the alt | 00:28 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, -- you have actually installed it on your machine? | 00:28 |
| * Skapare is back | 00:28 | |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; ahh.. that could have been the problem then. | 00:28 |
| lunks | What has to be on xorg in order to support more than one mouse? I've remade my xorg.conf, so probably there are some default values missing. I plugged an extra mouse on my notebook, and it shows up on dmseg, but does not move the cursor. | 00:28 |
| ompaul | Corty a little reminder - stay on topic please | 00:28 |
| Skapare | soundray: dpkg says package deskbar-applet is in a "very bad inconsistent state" | 00:28 |
| lunks | And it's a pain in the ass. :> | 00:28 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: yeah, it is installed and appears to run like a champ. everything that IS installed already... but I need more things installed to use it as a dev box/teaching tool | 00:28 |
| efren20 | is mit sketch only for windows i jsut download it and it says theres no applications for it how do i run it | 00:29 |
| Corty | ompaul, yes, you're right. | 00:29 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, what version are you using 7.10 ? | 00:29 |
| soundray | Skapare: does it give you a suggestion for fixing it? | 00:29 |
| Skapare | soundray: it suggests re-installing it | 00:29 |
| rrplay | TelnetManta: has your problem been solved? | 00:29 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: yes, 7.10 | 00:29 |
| === [bloo] is now known as bloo` | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, You can double check me on that point.. but that was my understanding.. | 00:29 |
| Corty | ompaul, see? I've lost her, lol | 00:29 |
| Optimus56 | hey i have a slight problem: my colour settings from nvidia-settings save, but dont reapply once i restart. they only show up if i open nvidia-settings again. how can i fix this?? | 00:29 |
| soundray | Skapare: so say yes, or run 'apt-get --reinstall install deskbar-applet' | 00:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; should i need to do anything to upgrade from 7.04 to 8.04? or must i go to 7.10 first? | 00:30 |
| yourm01 | is there any other way to install a wireless network card with ubuntu 7.10?? | 00:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, 710 is a must | 00:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; when 8.04 comes out of course.. i have a 2nd box i haven't upgraded yet. | 00:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; well then.. that bites but i see why it is necessary. | 00:30 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, are you on that box at the moment? | 00:31 |
| Skapare | soundray: OK ... I have now downloaded the latest 7.10 ISO, so I may just reinstall the whole thing with that, anyway | 00:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, they are working hard to be able to go lts to lts 6.06 to 8.04 | 00:31 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: yes, so that i could fix it while getting support. | 00:31 |
| Xbehave | compiz closes flash windows asoon as i click full screen on youtube is there an easy way to not apply animations to flash videos? or another way to fix this? only happens on compiz not in kwin | 00:31 |
| ali1234 | efren20: it's only for windows, and it also requires a tablet PC (ie with touch screen) there is a copy of it for linux, but i can't remember what it is called. | 00:31 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; awesome, might that be a possibility by the time 8.04 is to be released? | 00:31 |
| good | where do you edit the network settings for eth0 etc. and /sbin/route? | 00:31 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, then I am at a loss - it should *just work* | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, not from 704 to 804 no | 00:32 |
| Fryguy-- | good: /etc/network/interfaces | 00:32 |
| soundray | Skapare: okay... next time you have a power failure during upgrade, you'll know what to do :) | 00:32 |
| Skapare | soundray: yeah :) | 00:32 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: heh, that is why I am here. I am a pretty tech savvy person but this one is baffling me... | 00:32 |
| good | Fryguy--: thnx. is there a man page for the syntax? | 00:32 |
| Fryguy-- | good: yes | 00:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; okay.. i'll get back to you on the alternate upgrade.. seems i'll be upgrading my 7.04 box sooner than expected | 00:32 |
| Skapare | soundray: that or don't do upgrades during bad weather | 00:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, Hope that helps.. | 00:32 |

| good | man ? | 00:33 |
| No1CaNTeL | <soundray> No1CaNTeL: normally, all you need to do is add your user to the cdrom group | 00:33 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, do you have contents in the file /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:33 |
| Fryguy-- | good: as well as plenty of documentation available both as part of your install and via google | 00:33 |
| genii | good: Thres man pages for interfaces and route | 00:33 |

| No1CaNTeL | I looked for a cdrom group in the user/group list but found none | 00:33 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; it does. lets me know what i need to do to get my 2nd box to an LTS version. | 00:33 |
| No1CaNTeL | is it under another name other then cdrom0?? | 00:33 |
| good | whats the name of the man page for the /etc networking file? | 00:33 |
| CIne | Can I trust in deb http://repository.akirad.net akirad-gutsy main repository? I want to install cinelerra... | 00:33 |
| good | sorry, "man interfaces" | 00:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bastid_raZor, upgrade to 804 through any method we discussed then it will be on lts | 00:34 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: what does /dev/cdrom link to (find out with ls -l /dev/cdrom ) | 00:34 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: yes, a screen full of contents | 00:34 |
| ali1234 | lunks: apparently nothing much in particular... | 00:34 |
| soundray | ? | 00:34 |
| * Skapare goes afk again | 00:34 | |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, reboot the box and check again | 00:34 |
| lunks | ali1234, as I said, it's being detected by dmesg, so it *should* work, but for some reason it's not. :P | 00:34 |
| bastid_raZor | Jack_Sparrow; okay, thanks for the info | 00:34 |
| No1CaNTeL | scd0 by the looks of it | 00:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 00:34 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, perhaps some strange etheral issue but I doubt it - looks like something network is a bit whacky | 00:34 |
| RequinB4 | I know about ! best, but can anyone suggest a virtual machine software to test Hardy A6 which comes out in 2 days | 00:35 |
| Fryguy-- | RequinB4: virtualbox | 00:35 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, and at that I am calling it a night | 00:35 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: who's the group owner of /dev/scd0 (find out with ls -l /dev/scd0 )? | 00:35 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: wait a second... I notice something amiss. they are ALL commented out... | 00:35 |
| ali1234 | lunks: is it USB then? | 00:35 |
| RequinB4 | Fryguy--: Can do, thx | 00:35 |
| lunks | ali1234, yes, it is | 00:35 |
| lunks | ali1234, Are you on a notebook and using USB mice? | 00:35 |
| mib_uxwl3xgk | ompaul: they each have a line in front of them with "commented out because failed to verify" in front of them... | 00:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | the results said \: /dev/cdrom -> scd0 | 00:36 |
| lunks | ali1234, if you are, could you please share your xorg.conf at pastebin? | 00:36 |
| lunks | !pastebin ali1234 | 00:36 |
| ali1234 | lunks: i had a very old laptop that forced you to choose between ps/2 or touchpad. both were detected but only one would cause events. | 00:36 |
| lunks | oops | 00:36 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: notice the subtle difference in the new command | 00:36 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: who's the group owner of /dev/scd0 (find out with ls -l /dev/scd0 )? | 00:36 |
| No1CaNTeL | so scd0 is the group right? | 00:36 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: no | 00:36 |
| lunks | ali1234, probably it's a faulty xorg.conf | 00:36 |
| ompaul | mib_uxwl3xgk, that means you installed not connected to the internet - sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list << remove the # >> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade << and then have a nice day | 00:36 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: just tell me what 'ls -l /dev/scd0' gives you | 00:37 |
| ompaul | cheers | 00:37 |

| ali1234 | lunks: actually you know i havn't tried using two mice since making a dual-head set up with nvidia-settings so mine might not be default | 00:37 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: and what does it say after root? | 00:37 |

| raiderxx | I can't seem to find the installer | 00:39 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: see, the group cdrom has read and write access to the device. So all you need to do is 'sudo adduser no1 cdrom' | 00:39 |
| Fryguy-- | raiderxx: use pidgin | 00:39 |
| lunks | ali1234, I'm using a synaptics drive for the touchpad, I'll try switching to auto | 00:40 |
| snypzz | pigin | 00:40 |
| raiderxx | That was my next step, except again, I can't get the installer to work | 00:40 |
| snypzz | pidgin | 00:40 |
| ali1234 | lunks: that will probably make all the special touchpad stuff stop working | 00:40 |
| snypzz | no need for aol | 00:40 |
| soundray | No1CaNTeL: from the next login, you will be able to view DVDs without resorting to trickery | 00:40 |
| No1CaNTeL | ya, I got the line before, just about to do it, I was just curious about that when you said to add them to the group as I tried but not from console | 00:40 |
| raiderxx | It just comes up my terminal for a split second then turns off | 00:40 |

| raiderxx | I do not | 00:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pelo, That is easy enough to remove.. but it will remove all from the desktop | 00:42 |

| Noya | any hints? | 00:45 |
| Pelo | Jack_Sparrow, it's not mounted in media, it's just there because it seems to be regarded as a volume for some odd reason , it's actualy mounted as /home/jean/Partage | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | Noya: there's a GUI method. system->preferences->session | 00:45 |
| soundray | !session | Noya | 00:45 |

| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, So far so good. | 00:47 |
| genii | yourm01: Where did you put the net8185.inf file when you downloaded/extracted it? | 00:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Pelo, To Remove Icons from Desktop Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable | 00:47 |
| Dr3w | shouldn't hal just detect the hard drive and mount it? | 00:48 |
| Pelo | Dr3w, I never needed to mess with fstab to mount usb drives, don't know why you have to , usb drives usualy get mounted automaticaly to the desktop | 00:48 |
| yourm01 | genii: i have tried desktop and documents | 00:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, great | 00:48 |
| Pelo | Jack_Sparrow, please remember who you are talking to | 00:48 |

| Noya | soundray: ali1234: okay, thx, I'll try to get that for all users | 00:50 |
| Pelo | Dr3w, is a mybook es a special device or just a run of the mill usb external hdd ? | 00:50 |
| efren20 | how do i install a zip package is called crayon drawing program.? | 00:50 |
| Dr3w | Pelo: The drive mounts on the live CD, but once I umount it, the only way to get it to mount again automaticly is to restart hal. Its a standard USB device. | 00:50 |
| Noya | another question: where to place scripts that should be run on xstartup (not sessions), like setting my graphics-card to powersave mode (needs an xserver) | 00:51 |
| Pelo | efren20,extract it to the desktp and read the instrucitons inside | 00:51 |

| Pelo | Dr3w, is this all on the live cd ? that might be the issue | 00:51 |
| genii | yourm01: the net8185.inf file will be in a subdirectory there | 00:52 |
| Dr3w | Pelo: no, installed to the hard disk. | 00:52 |
| ali1234 | Dr3w: if you start places->computer, there should be an icon for it, even when it's not mounted. you'll only see it on the desktop when it is mounted. | 00:52 |
| Pelo | Dr3w, powering when the usb drive is not mounted does it still appear in the "my computer" windows ? | 00:52 |
| Dr3w | no | 00:52 |
| Pelo | Dr3w, open a terminal and type blkid see if you see it | 00:53 |
| bastid_raZor | are the ubuntu servers having issues tonight? | 00:53 |
| * Pelo is barely paying attention to the channel, he's not uptodate on the goings on of the servers | 00:54 | |
| Dr3w | when I boot/reboot with the device not attached I get nothing. when I plug in I get nothing. when I restart hal the drive mounts. Its there now /dev/sdb1: LABEL="My Book" UUID="2AAF-B4C7" TYPE="vfat" but I restarted hal to get it there. | 00:54 |

| bastid_raZor | i'm getting 6kb/s for the alternate cd | 00:56 |
| genii | yourm01: Don't use the window on the download box to open the file, it will not know how to open it. Install the unrar application first and then use that | 00:56 |
| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, I got this: Failed to fetch http://uu.enarel.eu/dists/feisty/all/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2) | 00:56 |
| Dr3w | ah, can't at the moment. Saving to it :-/ I can try tomorrow though. I was presuming it was a known bug to be honest! I can make do with restarting HAL until 8.04. If the problem is still there then, I will look into it further. | 00:56 |
| Pelo | mannex, there are several list of linux command on the net that migth be helpfull | 00:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, where did you come up with that source | 00:57 |
| Pelo | Dr3w, it's very odd, first time ever I hae heard of it | 00:57 |
| raiderxx | I went to update manager, | 00:57 |
| c0rr | word. | 00:57 |
| raiderxx | Update to ubuntu 7.1 or somehting like that | 00:57 |

| BPositive | Hello all, can Ubuntu server run in graphic mode? | 00:57 |
| raiderxx | And I pushed upgrade | 00:57 |
| ali1234 | Dr3w: the my book is a nas server right? maybe it has multiple USB modes... | 00:57 |
| BPositive | if so how , mine is starting to console | 00:58 |
| LjL | BPositive: if you install a graphical environment on it, yes | 00:58 |
| raiderxx | It went on "fetching" stuff for a couple minutes | 00:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, can you post your sources.list to a pastebin for me. | 00:58 |

| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, try this for me apt-get install pastebinit | 00:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo of course | 00:59 |

| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, try this for me sudo apt-get install pastebinit yes shift paste into a term | 00:59 |
| Pelo | LjL, I know , but what can you do , I don'T remember the package name to just install gnome | 00:59 |
| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, It came up with this: E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied) | 01:00 |

| Skapare | what is different between ubuntu and edubuntu ... aside from educational oriented applications presumably I could just install separately on plain ubuntu? | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, shut down synaptic or whatever other package manager you have open | 01:00 |
| LjL | Pelo, just saying if you're going to run a desktop, it makes little sense IMHO to use the server edition... but anyway, if one really wants to, ubuntu-desktop will work. "gnome-desktop-environment" may also do it i suppose | 01:01 |
| genii | yourm01: Please enter Terminal, then: cd ~/Desktop;sudo apt-get install unrar;unrar x Driver_1097_2KXP_0201.rar; cd Driver_1097_2KXP_0201/WINXP then after this try the ndiswrapper command | 01:01 |

| Jack_Sparrow | cain, bcm43xx works like a charm for me.. the 943.. another matter | 01:30 |
| Alan_M | cain, theres a lot of companies that have proprietary software/hardware/drivers...makes the life of a linux user very complicated :D | 01:30 |
| cain | not so...just tried using bcm43xx..... | 01:30 |
| RequinB4 | l815: i installed using add/remove, then created the machine (saying i will get error on start) then added myself and root to the group | 01:30 |

| bazhang | HoboBen: a newer iPod? then you need to either compile libgpod 0.6.0 or add some Hardy libs, the second of which is not recommended--you could also wait a few weeks for Hardy to come out and then enjoy the full benefits without the hassle then | 01:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cain, fwcutter worked for me on the bcm43xx | 01:30 |
| apollo0117 | yes | 01:30 |
| l815 | RequinB4, oh ok, sorry i can't help further. The only problem i got was adding myself to the group | 01:30 |
| cain | installed fwcutter | 01:31 |
| HoboBen | bazhang - it's fairly old, and the problem has only happened recently | 01:31 |
| cain | i was on here earlier asking how to do so | 01:31 |
| ki4cgp | I deleted some of my older vmlinuz & initrd.img stuff from /boot. I wasn't paying attention and I deleted my newest version as well. I have managed to get back initrd-image by uninstalling and reinstalling but which packages do I need to do to get the rest back? | 01:31 |
| bazhang | HoboBen: have you upgraded the firmware recently? | 01:31 |
| HoboBen | bazhang, there was a kernel update through Update Manager that installed, other than that I haven't done anything | 01:32 |
| RequinB4 | whoever asked about the webcam, how about this? - http://blog.myfenris.net/?p=377 | 01:33 |
| bazhang | HoboBen: that is odd-is this only a problem with rhythmbox, or do other music apps show the same results--I use amarok with older iPods with no worries | 01:33 |
| danage | hi - does anybody else here run hardy alpha and get the problem that the root user doesn't work anymore | 01:33 |
| Pici | !hardy | danage | 01:33 |
| ubotu | danage: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 01:33 |
| danage | sudo just kicks me back to command prompt | 01:33 |
| bazhang | danage wrong channel for that try #ubuntu+1 | 01:34 |
| tclineks | does anybody know how i can find open files matching a pattern on the command line | 01:34 |
| danage | ok thanks | 01:34 |
| tclineks | and make it as fast as the gnome-system-monitor's 'search for open files' | 01:34 |
| apollo0117 | sry i mis under stood you but affter i do that i still get the black screen | 01:34 |
| HoboBen | bazhang - I'll give amarok a go (haven't tried any others so far). Thanks | 01:34 |
| tclineks | sudo lsof |grep snd | 01:34 |
| tclineks | is waaay slower than the gui alternative | 01:34 |
| crimsun_ | tclineks: that's silly. sudo lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/mixer* /dev/audio* /dev/seq* /dev/snd/* | 01:35 |
| bazhang | HoboBen: yeah the recent kernel update messed up lots of things for me (video, for one) but iPod was left untouched--good luck | 01:35 |
| tclineks | crimsun_: yeah, but i'd like to know how to emulate it ore generally | 01:35 |
| tclineks | more generally | 01:35 |
| HoboBen | cheers bazhang. Maybe 8.04 will sort things out anyway | 01:36 |

| Dr_willis | victamower, it does a lot of tasks.. i got it going with very little hassle. | 01:39 |
| Jack_Sparrow | apollo0117, what happened when you hit f6, does not work is not helpful | 01:39 |

| Kris07 | I wanted to try out an Emerald theme that I just downloaded, so I ran Compiz in the terminal. It works fine, but I can't control Compiz at all. And when I close the terminal out, it takes Compiz and my window borders. | 01:39 |

| Dr_willis | Kris07, do NOT use the close button. background the programs. (with &) and use the exit command in the terminal. NOT the close button. | 01:40 |
| ali1234 | victamower: sure. it has a web interface even. | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | victamower, yep - thats a handy feature. | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | victamower, live is still like 10 sec delayed I think however. :) | 01:40 |

| Pici | !best | orudie | 01:42 |
| apollo0117 | what were thay gen sry im a noob | 01:42 |
| ubotu | orudie: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 01:42 |
| bazhang | orudie: xchat seems to be the fave around here | 01:42 |
| usser | orudie: there's generally no best, xchat, konversation, bitchx, irssi are all very good | 01:42 |
| tclineks | crimsun_: aha, -X on linux doesn't list tcp-related files: .4seconds versus 28 | 01:42 |

| Flyingmatt | icesword: grammar | 02:15 |
| genii | RequinB4: Yes | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | icesword, example .xinitrc 2 lines -> xterm & exec fluxbox | 02:15 |
| lunks | Dr_willis, already did. =\ only didn't tried rebooting, but I don't think it'll work and I wouldn't like to reboot to just use an external mouse. | 02:15 |
| RequinB4 | genii: ok, what would i have to do differently? | 02:15 |
| jenni | Can someone please tell me how to run a program and continue executing other commands in terminal? like not stop and wait for the program to end | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | jenni, bash fundamentals.. use & | 02:15 |
| icesword | Dr_willis, wait,where is this .xinitrc | 02:15 |
| bazhang | jenni: what sort of commands | 02:15 |
| RequinB4 | jenni, file, new tab | 02:15 |
| Dr_willis | icesword, MAKE one in the users home dir. | 02:15 |
| prince_jammys | jenni command & will put it in the background | 02:16 |
| jenni | Where do I stick & | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis | icesword, since it has a . :) thats imples its a user setting file those normally go in their home dir. | 02:16 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Flyingmatt: not everyone speaks english as their primary (or even secondary) language, they're making an effort, there's no reason to attack because of it. | 02:16 |
| prince_jammys | jenni: after the command | 02:16 |
| lunks | jenni, like 'gedit &' | 02:16 |
| jenni | cd ~/ventriloctrl-0.3 | 02:16 |
| jenni | ./runctrl.sh | 02:16 |
| jenni | wine ventrilo.exe | 02:16 |
| lunks | wine ventrilo & | 02:16 |
| Dr_willis | jenni, you may want to read a few bash tutorials.. the section on job controll. | 02:16 |
| genii | RequinB4: As I see it, you can either roll back the kernel to a stock version which will work with virtualbox, or compile virtualbox | 02:16 |
| Flyingmatt | process control | 02:16 |
| jenni | Cool will do willis | 02:16 |
| jenni | thanks guys, I'm going to try it out | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | jenni, you can also use the ctrl-z and 'bg' command to make the process go to the background | 02:17 |
| RequinB4 | genii: i'll compile virtualbox, but i'll need to know what to change | 02:17 |
| === pauldy_ is now known as pauldy | ||
| Dr_willis | jenni, do NOT close the terminal with the close button. Use the EXIT command. :) | 02:17 |
| Dr_willis | jenni, close button will kill the apps. | 02:17 |
| aeonoris | How do you compile things? I have g++ installed, and I can compile single files, but I can't figure how to compile any program that has multiple files... I just downloaded the source code for something and am wanting to compile it, but I can't seem to get it to work. | 02:17 |
| Flyingmatt | spam | 02:17 |
| RequinB4 | aeonoris - if it is a mainstream app, it should have compilation instructions | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis | aeonoris, most source does the ./comfigure, make, sudo make install , 3 step process. | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis | oops ./configure | 02:18 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 02:18 |

| orudie | whats the best way to install apache on ubuntu 7.10 ? | 02:18 |
| aeonoris | Thanks | 02:18 |
| genii | RequinB4: Difficult to say what changes needed. What was the patch you applied? | 02:18 |
| Pici | orudie: From the repositories | 02:18 |
| prince_jammys | !lamp | orudie | 02:18 |
| ubotu | orudie: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:18 |
| l815 | installed SETI and deleted the folder how can i tell if it's still running or not when i restart? | 02:19 |
| Flyingmatt | init | 02:19 |
| RequinB4 | genii: a dsdt fix for my laptop so it has sound and acpi at the same time... I don't know the details of what is changed, so if its something other then say the name of a few files, i'll just give up | 02:19 |
| bazhang | Flyingmatt: you have an actual support question? | 02:19 |
| gregorovius | l815, remember how the executable was called? | 02:19 |
| genii | RequinB4: Sorry, in past my expertise then at this point | 02:20 |
| RequinB4 | genii: thx, at least i know what is wrong then | 02:20 |
| jenni | Its not going into background when i use & the prompt doesnt return :S | 02:20 |
| * RequinB4 boots up desktop which has a regular linux kernel | 02:20 | |
| l815 | gregorovius, i ran a file in a folder called "boinc" and the file was "run_manager", i deleted the boinc folder when i decided i din't want it anymore | 02:20 |
| Flyingmatt | bazhang: yes, see my response | 02:20 |
| inertial | in gnome, when i drag a window between panes of the workplace switcher it used to actually move the window between desktops but now it can't... this happened when i tried using more of the advanced desktop effects... any idea if there's something i've inadvertently switched off? | 02:20 |
| jenni | i ran wine "C:\prgoram files\ventrilo\ventrilo.exe" & | 02:21 |
| gregorovius | l815, check the system monitor to see if it's still running | 02:21 |
| aa | what do I do next? | 02:21 |
| RequinB4 | Is it a security risk to continue running gutsy after hardy is released? | 02:21 |
| Pici | RequinB4: Of course not. | 02:22 |
| mneptok | only depends for how long you run it | 02:22 |
| l815 | gregorovius, i did, and it didnt seem like anything was running with those names, i'm just weary lol | 02:22 |
| aa | I'm new here who do I talk to? | 02:22 |
| Leetbumble | Requin: i dont see why... Its not like ur running microcrap | 02:22 |
| orudie | sudo tasksel install lamp-server returns : aptitued failed (100) | 02:22 |
| RequinB4 | I only mean... no more security updates? its not a LTS | 02:22 |
| aa | linux is the best | 02:22 |
| aeonoris | aa: It seems you just talk, and people will answer you if they want to | 02:22 |
| mneptok | RequinB4: there will be updates to Gutsy for another year | 02:22 |
| aa | what a great idea! | 02:22 |
| RequinB4 | mneptok: sweat off my back, i do NOT want to compile another kernel | 02:23 |
| jenni | ok the background thing is working with gedit but not wine | 02:23 |
| Leetbumble | So i got a quick q? cant seem to get a second hard drive which the computer sees to auto mount. | 02:23 |
| aa | ubuntu gutsy is the tops | 02:23 |
| prince_jammys | aa you have a support question are you looking to chat? | 02:23 |
| icesword | aa,what tops | 02:24 |
| aa | no just testing guys this is great! | 02:24 |
| bazhang | aa how about testing in #ubuntu-offtopic ;] | 02:24 |
| aa | ubuntu is 'tops' | 02:24 |
| prince_jammys | aa because if you want to chat, there's always #ubuntu-offtopic | 02:24 |
| aa | roger | 02:24 |
| RequinB4 | aa, really glad you're enjoying it, but we want to keep the channel clear for those with questions, try #ubuntu-offtopic for that kind of stuff, thanks | 02:24 |
| * Y-Town thinks aa likes | 02:24 | |
| prince_jammys | ha | 02:24 |
| jenni | Guys wine wont go into background | 02:25 |
| Leetbumble | cant seem to get a second hard drive which the computer sees to auto mount. | 02:25 |
| Leetbumble | anyone got an idea? | 02:25 |
| jenni | I did, gedit & and it worked, but wine "C:\asdasdasd\asd.exe" & doesnt go into background | 02:25 |
| usser | jenni: try to ctrl+z it after you launch | 02:25 |
| jenni | i want to make it a bash script though | 02:27 |
| usser | jenni: but it most likely will just freeze your window app | 02:27 |
| orudie | what is the command to install LAMP on 7.10 | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | jenni, make a script, and make it executable, and launch it int he bg. | 02:28 |
| ali1234 | jenni: you probably just arn't getting a prompt because wine outputs a lot of stuff. try pressing enter. | 02:28 |
| icesword | i installed fluxbox,no icons,no right button menu,it doesn't word:( | 02:28 |
| usser | jenni: hm weird works for me | 02:28 |
| icesword | work | 02:28 |
| jenni | well im sure the ctrl+z thing works but i want to make it a bash script | 02:28 |
| icesword | i installed fluxbox,no icons,no right button menu,it doesn't work:( | 02:28 |
| boudro | howdy all | 02:28 |
| boudro | can I ask a question about an issue I am having? | 02:28 |
| usser | jenni: how do you figure it doesn't? maybe your prompt is just clogged with the output try hitting enter a couple of times | 02:28 |

| g2 | I was wondering if there was a way to speed up my boot up time, because its real slow right now | 02:50 |
| HoboBen | efren20 - There's one called AWN - https://launchpad.net/awn | 02:50 |
| g2 | and im pretty sure its not my hardware | 02:50 |
| fabio | many ways to do that | 02:50 |
| bladinho | wtf :S | 02:50 |
| fabio | disable initrd if you can | 02:50 |
| efren20 | and hobo how can i make my pc run faster | 02:50 |
| RequinB4 | g2 - disable usplash | 02:51 |
| fabio | bu if u are using a bootsplash you can't | 02:51 |
| fabio | enable data writeback on ext3 | 02:51 |
| g2 | how do i disable usplash? | 02:51 |
| HoboBen | efren20 - disable compiz, or a lighter linux distro | 02:51 |
| g2 | sorry im a noob at this | 02:51 |
| prince_jammys | g2: are you using a laptop? | 02:51 |
| g2 | yea | 02:51 |
| g2 | toshiba | 02:51 |
| Frederick | folks im back | 02:51 |
| fabio | dual core or hyper threading ? | 02:51 |
| prince_jammys | g2: and you have ridiculously long startup time? | 02:51 |
| Frederick | im the guy with the video issue | 02:51 |
| efren20 | kk | 02:52 |
| fabio | how long is you startup tilme ? | 02:52 |
| g2 | well ill say its about a minute or so..... | 02:52 |
| RequinB4 | yeah, that's pretty long | 02:52 |
| Frederick | it says no drivers avaliable for nvidia | 02:52 |
| prince_jammys | g2: ok, so it's not the problem i'm thinking of. does the splash screen appear when you start up? | 02:53 |
| g2 | no | 02:53 |
| g2 | i get a black screen | 02:53 |
| Bossmanbeta | I'm seeing similar splits on Undernet | 02:53 |
| prince_jammys | g2: ok then it may be. hold, i'll give you a link | 02:53 |
| g2 | then the log in sccrreen a minute later | 02:53 |
| frank23 | Is it possible to split a primary partition in 2 while shrinking the filesystem on it? | 02:54 |
| scott__ | Hey, whenever I step on the small pedal hooked up to my machine, it hums very fast and leave a small intricate pattern of thread in the hem of my pants. What should I do? | 02:54 |
| usser | wtf | 02:54 |
| prince_jammys | g2: sounds like this ::: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen | 02:54 |
| Flannel | frank23: You could shrink it to 50% and then add a second one, sure. Assuming you have enough primary partitions left | 02:54 |
| g2 | ok hold up let me check it out | 02:55 |
| prince_jammys | g2: check that link, it's helped many people with your problem | 02:55 |
| frank23 | Flannel: I don't have anymore primary partition left | 02:55 |
| bazhang | scott__: interesting but wrong channel | 02:55 |
| Flannel | frank23: You already have four? | 02:56 |
| Heygabe | What is a "Pages" like user expereince in Ubuntu? Any suggestions? | 02:56 |
| frank23 | yeah... | 02:56 |
| frank23 | Flannel: can I resize partitions? | 02:56 |
| Flannel | frank23: Yes | 02:57 |
| bazhang | Heygabe: as in the Mac 'Pages' app? | 02:57 |
| Frederick | damm my irc client crashes in windows | 02:57 |
| Frederick | so | 02:57 |
| prince_jammys | !gparted | frank23: you may need the live CD, depending on what you're doing | 02:57 |
| ubotu | frank23: you may need the live CD, depending on what you're doing: GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ | 02:57 |
| fabio | what client ? | 02:57 |
| frank23 | Flannel: I could shrink hda1 (/) then grow hda2 (swap) then create another logical partition in hda2 | 02:58 |
| flowOver | say i wanted compiz to start with this command > compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --loose-binding < where would i put that? | 02:58 |
| m1r | hello | 02:58 |
| Frederick | I have 2 issues one is the autorithy of .Xautorithy and the other the not found drivr can one help me? | 02:58 |
| Flannel | frank23: you already have an extended partition? | 02:58 |
| frank23 | Flannel: hda2 is extended | 02:58 |
| NthJustin | I had a similar problem with my nvidia drivers... | 02:59 |
| Flannel | frank23: then you can shrink hda1, and create another primary partition in that space (since you only have one) | 02:59 |
| prince_jammys | flowOver: you could probably create an menu item and put your command in there, to access it from the menu | 02:59 |
| l815 | what are the best linux multiplayer games? | 02:59 |
| Frederick | NthJustin I made it work yesterday and somehow it not saved | 02:59 |
| NthJustin | Installing the official nvidia one helped.. but then it ended up having a conflict with the built-in restricted ubuntu driver.. so I just moved the ubuntu module out of the way.. | 02:59 |
| cain | is there anything like netstumbler for ubuntu....a gui version of kismet | 02:59 |
| flowOver | compiz starts on boot. i want to replace the command that it's starting with, with the one up top | 03:00 |
| NthJustin | Sounds like that conflict maybe.. read thru your xorg.0.log to see what module is acutally loading.. the path I mean.. | 03:00 |
| Frederick | NthJustin can you help me? Ive tried it | 03:00 |
| NthJustin | I can hardly remember what I did... did you install the nvidia official version? I just ran it from safe-boot mode in the shell. | 03:01 |
| flaccid | anybody know how to get spell check to actually work in Ooo | 03:01 |
| Frederick | safe boot? | 03:01 |
| frank23 | Flannel: no I have 4 primary partitions already (hda1 hda2(which contains hda5) hda3 hda4) | 03:02 |
| cain | anything like netstumbler in linux? | 03:02 |
| NthJustin | yeah... uh.. recovery mode. in grub, it asks what you want to boot.. or should. | 03:02 |
| scott__ | I have a question about the home folder. | 03:02 |
| Odd-rationale | flaccid: Do you get red squgglies when you have a mispell? | 03:02 |
| rhineheart_m | hello...Is there such thing as admin (superuser) in maiil services like squirrelmail? | 03:02 |
| Flannel | frank23: ah, so you do. Alright, then, you can shrink hda1 and add to hda2, but that is slightly more complicated, should be doable though. | 03:02 |
| orudie | after doing this wget http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/webadmin/webmin_1.400_all.deb how can i install it ? | 03:03 |
| frank23 | Flannel: ok. the UUIDs will change right? | 03:03 |
| flaccid | Odd-rationale, nope. doesn't look like any dict is selected | 03:03 |
| flaccid | !webmin | orudie | 03:03 |
| ubotu | orudie: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 03:03 |
| Flannel | frank23: No, they shouldnt. | 03:03 |
| Odd-rationale | flaccid: Do you have one installed for your language? | 03:03 |
| scott__ | If I download an application, should I keep in in my home folder and run it from there? | 03:03 |
| frank23 | Flannel: oh ok | 03:03 |
| flaccid | yeah i just did that via the wizard, but no dict is selected still | 03:03 |
| Odd-rationale | scott__: Yes. you can | 03:04 |
| scott__ | But "should" I for security reasons, instead of tying to place it with default applications in the file system? | 03:04 |
| prince_jammys | scott__: a conventional place for custom-installed stuff is /usr/local | 03:05 |
| Odd-rationale | scott__: Are you talking about a .deb package? | 03:05 |
| rhineheart_m | orudie: I am using webmin too.. what's your concern? | 03:05 |
| flaccid | dpkg -i ./package.deb | 03:06 |
| orudie | rhineheart_m: just trying to install it, i'm very new to linux | 03:06 |
| scott__ | Ummm... No. Let's say I download a game, if I were running windows I would place it in "C:\Program Files\etc... IS there an equivalent for the LFS? | 03:06 |
| Frederick | now x hangs in black screen | 03:06 |
| Frederick | lovely | 03:06 |
| orudie | should i follow whatever ubotu said and not use webmin and use ebox instead ? | 03:07 |
| scott__ | OR do I just keep it in my home directory? | 03:07 |
| NthJustin | frederick: look thru your /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 03:07 |
| rhineheart_m | orudie: okay.. have you changed anything? BUT WARNING: Please be careful with your webmin.. that mught mess you system. just be careful with your config files.. | 03:07 |
| flaccid | why do you need webmin for anyway? | 03:07 |
| NthJustin | what card is it anyway? does the nvidia driver claim to support it? | 03:07 |
| mikev | hi, anyone know where do I check the network log, I cant click "Connection information" and when I shutdown I see a warning message.. | 03:07 |
| Frederick | should I re-install the whole linux because of xconfig? | 03:07 |
| prince_jammys | scott__: if it's not a .deb file, it's a matter of choice where to place it. the conventional place is /usr/local. some people also do it in /opt | 03:07 |
| Odd-rationale | scott__: It is easiest to keep it in your home directory | 03:08 |
| rhineheart_m | orudie: are you accessing it in the local location? | 03:08 |
| orudie | rhineheart_m: i havent changed anything yet, i didnt even innstall webmin yet, ubotu just told me not to use it cause its buggy and not supported by ubuntu | 03:08 |
| NthJustin | no, you can just move /etc/X11/xorg.conf to some backup file and it'll try and recreate it as some basic version, if I recall right.. | 03:08 |
| Frederick | this crap is buget I will re-install all | 03:08 |
| Frederick | so gay | 03:08 |
| Frederick | bblater | 03:08 |
| scott__ | Okay, thanks guys. I wasn't too sure. I'm just trying to keep everything tidy on my machine. :) | 03:08 |
| Frederick | if fail | 03:08 |
| FloodBot3 | Frederick: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:08 |
| Frederick | thanks | 03:08 |
| NthJustin | good luck | 03:08 |
| scott__ | Big thanks. | 03:08 |
| orudie | rhineheart_m: yeah, i did wget url.filename.deb and it successfully downloaded it | 03:09 |
| dudeIgotadell | is there a way to force apt to install | 03:09 |
| rhineheart_m | orudie: yeah. I agree with that.. It is not really recommended for newbies.. but in my case.. its really helpful. In fact. m one of its fans. | 03:09 |
| prince_jammys | scott__: hold on, i'll give you a link if you want to get an idea of how the filesystem works compared to windows | 03:09 |
| scott__ | OKay. | 03:09 |
| scott__ | Thanks. | 03:09 |
| orudie | rhineheart_m: so would you suggest ebox instead ? | 03:09 |
| m1r | flaccid: is it safe to install ebox packages on ubuntu 7.10 ? i tryed that guide on 6.06 and it badly damaged my system | 03:09 |
| flaccid | whats ebox ? | 03:10 |
| rhineheart_m | orudie: I won't go for ebox.. | 03:10 |
| rhineheart_m | orudie: honestly..don't like it.. | 03:10 |
| m1r | !ebox falccid | 03:10 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ebox falccid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:10 |
| DG19075 | !ebox | 03:10 |
| ubotu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec | 03:10 |
| m1r | _!webmin flaccid | 03:10 |
| prince_jammys | scott__: standard filesystem in linux:: http://linuxcommand.org/lts0040.php | 03:10 |
| scott__ | Awesome. Thanks. | 03:10 |
| m1r | tnx DG19075 | 03:11 |
| flaccid | well ebox looks like its for hardy. so im not sure how you can regard it safe | 03:12 |
| flaccid | still there are gui tools available in the desktop environments for sysadmin | 03:12 |
| DG19075 | yw | 03:12 |
| flaccid | !find ebox | 03:12 |
| ubotu | Found: ebox, ebox-all, ebox-ca, ebox-firewall, ebox-network (and 7 others) | 03:12 |
| flaccid | !info ebox | 03:12 |
| ubotu | ebox (source: ebox): eBox - Base framework. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.3-0ubuntu9 (gutsy), package size 127 kB, installed size 1220 kB | 03:12 |
| mikev | hi, anyone know where do I check the network log, I cant click "Connection information" and when I shutdown I see a warning message.. | 03:12 |
| flaccid | m1r, its already in gutsy, so go for it.... | 03:13 |
| flaccid | mike-e, try looking at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages and also dmesg | 03:13 |
| m1r | flaccid , i tryed their cd install so this 1220kb seems strange for me | 03:13 |
| flaccid | why strange? | 03:14 |
| m1r | flaccid: for whole thing to fit in 1220kb | 03:14 |
| flaccid | thats nearly a megabyte, seems fine to me | 03:14 |
| flaccid | well it is over a megabyte | 03:14 |
| m1r | flaccid: can u please check : http://ebox-platform.com/ | 03:15 |
| flaccid | what am i checking | 03:15 |
| flaccid | it loads | 03:15 |
| m1r | _ebox | 03:15 |
| m1r | it is live cd/install cd , so 1220kb seems rather small for that whole thing | 03:16 |
| spork969 | ok, this might not be possible... but let's say theres a flash video, is there a way for me to download it and then rip the video and audio separately? if not, is there a way to record a certain area of your screen? | 03:16 |
| flaccid | no, livecd is another option. | 03:16 |
| flaccid | which is http://ebox-platform.com/downloads/ebox-live.iso | 03:16 |
| m1r | ok, tnx flaccid , i give it a try again :) | 03:17 |
| flaccid | just enable universe and install the package, pretty basic | 03:17 |
| rhineheart_m | anybody who have tried hardy? | 03:17 |
| Starnestommy | rhineheart_m: try #ubuntu+1 | 03:18 |
| mikev | Anyone know where can I check the network log, I cant click "Connection information" and when I shutdown I see a warning message.. | 03:18 |
| jeffz | what program do people use to play their music like xmms, but not xmms or totem? | 03:18 |
| mikev | jeffz: amarok | 03:18 |
| DG19075 | VLC is good | 03:19 |
| spork969 | VLC = the best | 03:19 |
| prince_jammys | !players | 03:19 |
| ubotu | Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based). Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs | 03:19 |
| jeffz | ok thanks, I've been using xmms for the last 10 years but thought I'd try something else | 03:19 |
| flaccid | mikev try looking at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages and also dmesg | 03:20 |
| flaccid | amarok is god :) | 03:20 |
| spork969 | flaccid, except it doesnt sync with my ipod as well as banshee | 03:21 |
| c0rr | i wanna get an ipod working with rsync :/ | 03:21 |
| rnartos | how can I check of ethernet devices using console? or ubuntu server without gui?? | 03:21 |
| Starnestommy | rnartos: ifconfig? | 03:22 |
| c0rr | ifconfig -a | 03:22 |
| flaccid | rnartos, ifconfig | 03:22 |
| JehstOneShell | "Busybox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5Ubuntu7) Built-in Shell (Ash) Enter Help for a list of built-in commands. (initramfs)" What do I type to install Ubuntu? | 03:22 |
| Starnestommy | JehstOneShell: that message means that the CD failed to boot correctly | 03:23 |
| JehstOneShell | Ah. | 03:23 |
| JehstOneShell | Lol. | 03:23 |
| JehstOneShell | Figures. | 03:23 |
| JehstOneShell | It worked fine on this PC :S | 03:23 |
| flaccid | JehstOneShell, i've got a bug like that. there are several in !bugs. i am just about to reinstall because there is no way around it. is it saying the mountpoint doesn't exist? | 03:24 |
| rnartos | thanks | 03:24 |
| JehstOneShell | flaccid, I'm just trying to install with a CD I burnt. | 03:24 |
| flaccid | JehstOneShell, whats the error messages before the shell | 03:24 |
| rnartos | can anyone confirms that apache 2.2.4/updated version for ubuntu 7.10 got bug?? | 03:24 |
| flaccid | JehstOneShell, i know that. livecds boot just like any linux.. | 03:24 |
| JehstOneShell | I don't know, I'm a nub. | 03:24 |
| rnartos | the ssl and mime_magic got errors | 03:24 |
| flaccid | JehstOneShell, have a look at the errors before it drops to the busybox shell | 03:25 |
| mikev | flaccid, thnx but none of them contains anything, the last one you suggest only contains data from startup :( | 03:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JehstOneShell, at start or install hit F6 remove splash and quiet from the command line.. give that a try | 03:25 |
| JehstOneShell | There aren't any errors before hand. | 03:25 |
| mikev | any other suggestion | 03:25 |
| flaccid | JehstOneShell, thats probably because quiet/splash is on | 03:25 |
| Strawberryjam | hey there, has anybody installed ubuntu onto vmware? is it difficult? and what should i watch out for? thanks | 03:25 |
| JehstOneShell | Too much to take in, peace. | 03:26 |
| Tumbl3r | Strawberryjam: yea just make sure to choose Other 2.6 kernel | 03:26 |
| flaccid | well if its the same reason i have. i have spent hours trying to work it out and there is no fix in launchpad, so its pretty dodgy that it occurs on the livecd too. ubuntu has a lot of bugs. | 03:26 |
| Tumbl3r | Strawberryjam: otherwise it wont install | 03:26 |
| Strawberryjam | check thanks! | 03:26 |
| flaccid | major ubuntu bugs are not good and their are lots | 03:27 |
| Strawberryjam | i'm using my wifes notebook but miss my ubuntu studio too much. | 03:27 |
| che | hey guys, what's the good alternative flash on ubuntu, like the create flash files, make animation etc | 03:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | flaccid, There will always be marginal hardware that people try to run under linux.. just a fact.. | 03:28 |
| Tumbl3r | Strawberryjam: you'll have no probs installing just dont choose Ubuntu and choose the Other 2.6 instead | 03:28 |
| tritium | flaccid: it's likely specific to your hardware configuration. For most users, it's not so buggy. | 03:28 |
| Strawberryjam | thanks tumbl3r! | 03:28 |
| Tumbl3r | np | 03:29 |
| darkcrab | wait, you dont need to install ubuntu on vmware | 03:29 |
| darkcrab | you just go to vmware apps | 03:29 |
| darkcrab | and download 7.10 for vmware | 03:29 |
| avarner | hey quick question: if i want to go back to ubuntu but still use some things in the ms office suite, is there a viable solution for me? such as running xp on a vm but hopefully less drastic or more... usable? | 03:30 |
| darkcrab | and click the icon on your desktop and it boots up | 03:30 |
| Tumbl3r | ah nice | 03:30 |
| tritium | !enter | darkcrab | 03:30 |
| ubotu | darkcrab: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:30 |
| Tumbl3r | i installed it and works great | 03:30 |
| darkcrab | k | 03:30 |
| darkcrab | you CAN install it | 03:30 |
| darkcrab | but why? | 03:30 |
| prince_jammys | :) | 03:30 |
| flaccid | Jack_Sparrow, this is hardware independent bug | 03:30 |
| tritium | darkcrab: please, I just told you about !enter | 03:30 |
| Tumbl3r | i can choose what i want/don't want installed and make changes to partitions | 03:30 |
| darkcrab | oh sorry | 03:30 |
| tritium | No worries, darkcrab. | 03:31 |
| darkcrab | ah, now I see exactly your point tritium. | 03:31 |
| === csink is now known as rockhoppr | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | flaccid, No such thing. If you have a question please ask.. If you just want to troll then please /join #Ubuntu-offtopic | 03:31 |
| tritium | darkcrab: =) | 03:31 |
| flaccid | well yes there is such thing. should i find you the bugs? or just let this stupid conversation rest in peace? | 03:32 |
| tritium | flaccid: I don't think it is hardware independent in your case. | 03:32 |
| Jangari | avarner: what's in the ms office suite that you need? | 03:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | flaccid, drop it.. | 03:32 |
| flaccid | linux is just a kernel, then there is the ubuntu userland. i know how it works. ok i will drop it. | 03:32 |
| avarner | Jangari: i have a hard-on for oneNote | 03:33 |
| retro71 | Question: I've loaded ubunto succesfully on many computers. durring my latest attempt on a new computer to install ubuntu 7.1 64bit, i boot from cd, i see the splash screen, i select install, i then lose video, after about 2 minutes my system begins beeping in error repeatedly until i restart. my system = AMD Phenom 64bit quad processor, 4gb ram, nvidia 8800gt 512mb video. i have tried boot param acpi=off, this did move me alon | 03:33 |
| flaccid | have a good day, im off to install gentoo or pc-bsd to get some stability | 03:33 |
| tritium | Jangari: one example of openoffice limitations: you can't save a picture from an openoffice writer document | 03:33 |
| avarner | jangari: and as much as i hate to admit it i really like the new layout they have in 2k7 plus i just had to buy the suite for class and i feel like i should get my money out of it | 03:33 |

| Strawberryjam | ok can i install ubuntu onto an external drive to use in VMware? lol My wife is already bitching me about her comp. I have an external USB drive, will that work? | 03:37 |
| Tumbl3r | sure | 03:37 |
| Jangari | what's her argument, Strawberryjam? | 03:37 |
| Y-Town | Strawberryjam: Cant you send her to the store for more beer? | 03:38 |
| Jangari | tritium, avarner, fair enough. I'm not entirely happy with open office either and have to run dual boot to get everything i need | 03:38 |
| usser | ohhh.... cold | 03:38 |
| Tumbl3r | Strawberryjam: my vote is with Jangari more beer | 03:38 |
| Jangari | Strawberryjam: did you install a unix operating system on your wife's computer? Tumbl3r, that wasn't me | 03:38 |
| tritium | Jangari: I only use office suites to open docs people send me anyway. I use LaTeX for most of my needs ;) | 03:39 |

| JonZenor | What's the default root password? | 03:42 |
| avarner | Jangari: do you think i should just grab a virtualmachine and run xp on it to use my office stuff? i'd hate to do it but there aren't any *nix apps i know out there like it | 03:42 |
| Starnestommy | !root | 03:42 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonZenor, there isnt one | 03:42 |
| JonZenor | uhm, I can't su to root | 03:42 |
| Tumbl3r | JonZenor: you have to hack it | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonZenor, use sudo or gksudo | 03:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 03:43 |
| ubotu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 03:43 |
| tritium | JonZenor: read the URL from ubotu above | 03:43 |
| JonZenor | I just installed it | 03:43 |

| Jack_Sparrow | NeT_DeMoN_, what video card? | 03:45 |
| snarkster | NeT_DeMoN_: desktop effects wont work if video card isnt correct | 03:45 |
| Jangari | problem with apps like wine and vm, is newer MS programs need sh|t like ".NET" framework, or MS installer, to run anything, | 03:45 |
| mexican_valium | So I've got problems... | 03:45 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | the video card works | 03:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NeT_DeMoN_, Yes, but you may be running in vesa mode. | 03:46 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | graphics card 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) | 03:46 |
| mexican_valium | for some reason I get no audio from flash | 03:46 |
| JonZenor | sudo still asks for a password | 03:46 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | Jack_Sparrow: what does that mean? | 03:46 |
| mexican_valium | like, no audio from youtube | 03:46 |
| Jangari | i have an entire windows partition for windows live writer, an audio editing program, and that's all. It's still twice the size of my entire ubuntu file system | 03:46 |
| mexican_valium | but I get audio out of all of my other audio players | 03:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonZenor, sudo will always ask for your user password.. | 03:46 |
| mexican_valium | media players | 03:46 |
| avarner | jangari: yeah its sick isn't it | 03:46 |
| snarkster | hmm still cant play my mp3 collection | 03:47 |

| JonZenor | first time I logged in | 03:47 |
| techqbert | hey guys I have no cron.daily or cron.weekly in /etc ? Is that normal? | 03:47 |
| Flannel | JonZenor: So, open a terminal, and `sudo echo "test"`, it should ask you for a pssword, enter the same password you logged in with. does it work? | 03:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NeT_DeMoN_, system..pref..screen res... | 03:48 |

| Jack_Sparrow | NeT_DeMoN_, No what | 03:49 |
| JonZenor | password worked for sudo, not for su though | 03:49 |
| techqbert | bloo`: oh so /etc/cron.daily doesn't exist on stock ubuntu install? ok cool | 03:49 |
| Starnestommy | nixbob73: mayeb ##networking | 03:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonZenor, dont use su | 03:49 |
| JonZenor | why? | 03:49 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | Jack_Sparrow: its not higher then 1024 | 03:49 |
| nixbob73 | thanks Starnestommy | 03:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JonZenor, not needed | 03:49 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | 1280x1024 | 03:49 |
| Flannel | JonZenor: Because su only asks for your root password. Ubuntu doesn't use the root account. | 03:49 |
| rockhoppr | sorry about my noob-ness but can I turn off the IRC messages when people sign on and off? I | 03:49 |
| bloo` | techqbert, I think it does. Not sure. I'm on debian. But, you should still be able to set cron jobs (look into crontab) | 03:49 |
| snarkster | sorry i lied mp3 playback is working | 03:49 |
| rockhoppr | I've googled but found nothing. | 03:50 |

| darkcrab | why do people sudo apt-get instead of using the package manager | 03:51 |
| JonZenor | that seems to work, thanks | 03:51 |
| techqbert | bloo` : ah jeez I'm an idiot. I was SSH'ed on my freebsd box. cron.daily and the like do exist in a stock install btw. | 03:51 |
| FYI | anyone have a good pdf printer? | 03:51 |

| usser | pstv: what exactly doesn't work, does your wireless have any encryption, does it work with automatic assigment? | 04:02 |
| darkcrab | simps, you have to set up some programs on windows | 04:02 |
| Draco_ | raiderxx: if you have sata disks very likely | 04:02 |
| * KALEBSREVENGE farts | 04:02 | |
| alyx|lappy | Lasivian: yes | 04:02 |
| simps | darkcrab, specifically, which? | 04:02 |
| Draco_ | raiderxx: could also be a USB disk with scsi emulation | 04:02 |
| darkcrab | i forget off hand, but if you do a search online, you can find them, you have to actually install programs on windows that can read ext3. | 04:03 |
| pstv | it works with my encrypted wireless at home but not with my encrypted wielress at work with static ip | 04:03 |
| raiderxx | draco_, well Im trying to install ubuntu, but don't want to erase anyhting from my first drive, I want to install it on my second. | 04:03 |
| Lasivian | alyx|lappy: I have a bit of a problem with mine, written up here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4455066 | 04:03 |

| simps | darkcrab, i shall look into it, brb | 04:03 |
| phynix | alyx|lappy: hey just one of those weird things but that is the name of one of my linux boxes | 04:04 |

| Werenerd | raiderxx: sda1 sda2 is one drive 2 partitions | 04:04 |
| raiderxx | oh ok | 04:04 |
| usser | pstv: well do you know all the network settings for your work wifi(ie default gateway and netmask | 04:04 |
| pstv | Devan is your router set for static or DHCP | 04:04 |
| Lasivian | in short I can't get the hostap drivers to load, the card just sits there and does nothing | 04:05 |
| prince_jammys | m0u5e: sudo fdisk -l . or just "mount" to see what's mounted | 04:05 |
| raiderxx | Should I be worrying about whether or not Im writing over window (which I DONT want to do atm) | 04:05 |
| phynix | alyx|lappy: ok sorry just the alyx part. I thought it was an interesting spelling. I know this is really random sorry | 04:05 |
| Werenerd | raiderxx: sda is one drive, sdb is the second. sdb1 and sdb2 ... you get it right? | 04:05 |

| combatwombat | this is actually pretty cool | 04:42 |
| combatwombat | so its just like a gigantic chat protocol or something | 04:43 |
| pstv | Werenerd: it's is a new compiz-fusion plugin | 04:43 |
| bloo` | combatwombat, pretty much, yes. | 04:43 |
| combatwombat | is there some way to surf this thing bloo? | 04:43 |
| morphiend | berlylabs: don't use rpm, problem solved :) | 04:43 |
| combatwombat | or do you need prescribed channels | 04:43 |
| Werenerd | pstv: Well now, that sounds cool. let me google it. brb | 04:43 |
| bloo` | combatwombat, you can do "/list" to see all the channels. Be warned though, on a network like freenode it's bound to be huge. | 04:44 |
| darkcrab | i rarely use rpm | 04:44 |
| moria330 | it might take a few minutes to load the list | 04:44 |
| jarrettgreen | ok. I think I start webdav in apache, but in osx typing "go to server" and then the url to my box, it mounts, but asks for no user auth. Is this possible? | 04:44 |
| combatwombat | thanks bloo! | 04:44 |
| smacky | bloo on a quad amd with four gigs of ram is there anyway to speed up my boot up | 04:44 |
| morphiend | I only use RPM if I'm on a RedHat/CENT OS/Fedora system | 04:44 |
| FloodBot2 | !netsplit | 04:44 |
| ubotu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like Freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 04:45 |
| bloo` | combatwombat, any time. | 04:45 |
| bloo` | Ho'wow. | 04:45 |
| matthewschnoor | anyone? | 04:45 |
| smacky | bloo on a quad amd with four gigs of ram is there anyway to speed up my boot up | 04:45 |
| bloo` | combatwombat, welcome to IRC, you've just witnessed your first netsplit. | 04:45 |
| combatwombat | wow | 04:45 |
| darkcrab | hmm...is that pretty much a standard good idea morphiend. Not to use RPM unless you are on a Redhat variant? | 04:45 |
| moria330 | that was my first too and i have been using if for about a year now | 04:45 |
| flowOver | how do i replace the screen after the login, before the desktop? | 04:45 |
| morphiend | darkcrab: I'd say so. Ubuntu is based from Debian so use its package format: deb | 04:46 |
| moria330 | or just compile it from source | 04:46 |
| morphiend | If you use slackware you can use the slackware 'package' format: slack balls (I don't recall the extension right now) | 04:46 |
| h4shbang | netsplit kkkkkk | 04:46 |

| bloo` | morphiend, well, he can use RPM. He just needs to install "alien" | 04:46 |

| h4shbang | bladinho: hi | 04:47 |

| Werenerd | pstv: it says here to do this - To install this plugin, along with a wealth of other entertaining and useful plugins for CompizFusion, select the "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" package through your favorite package manager or apt. | 04:47 |
| morphiend | especially since java comes with a tarball that can be extracted just about anywhere | 04:47 |

| iRRVi | im getting a error with openssi (suposedly 1.9 works with ubuntu) error here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58455/ (the funny part is it says to run ssi-create first but that is the output of ssi-create) | 05:22 |

| NeT_DeMoN_ | i have a question, why is it that when i change my screen resolution or log out of this user space does my screen stay black? | 05:24 |
| risngsun | bigdaddy, there are two nics in the machine, one of them (eth0) is connected | 05:24 |
| iRRVi | are you sure they're not 2 different interfaces on the same NIC? <--- to risngsun | 05:24 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as raiderxx | ||
| iRRVi | and possibly it didnt do the second one? | 05:24 |
| BigDaddy | iRRVi: that was my next line! | 05:24 |

| mindheavy | just recently took vista off my laptop for ubuntu, i've been noticing that ubuntu is reporting my battery has low capacity, it was 47% the other day, now its saying 40%, and it doesnt run very long at all when unplugged, in windows though, it would run for quite a while on the battery and i never noticed a problem with it, any ideas? | 05:25 |
| risngsun | Ok I am a bit confused now, I did read about assigning multiple address's to a single nic, but that is not what I am going for, and I don't think the config file is setup for that | 05:25 |
| BIOSboiler | can i send mail througha imap server? | 05:25 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: frustrating. I don't have a 32bit install, makes it hard to look up what you need. Try this: sudo apt-get remove j2re1.4 , then run the update-alternatives again | 05:25 |
| BigDaddy | crap... my wife caught me. Sorry risngsun I have to go to bed. I am curious how this turns out though. | 05:26 |

| iRRVi | risngsun: try a dmesg | grep eth | 05:26 |
| iRRVi | give me the output | 05:26 |
| berlylabs | nickrud: can u resend the update alternatives command pleas | 05:26 |
| berlylabs | e | 05:26 |
| iRRVi | risngsun: unless, they're the same exact (model) NIC just you have 2 of em >_< | 05:26 |
| BigDaddy | risngsun: I don't know how my wife would like my dating again. But I would be willing to give it a shot! | 05:26 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: there might also be a j2re1.4-plugin , dpkg -l 'j2re1.4*' will tell you. remove it if you do. sudo update-alternatives --config java | 05:27 |
| risngsun | iRRRVi - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58456/ | 05:27 |
| risngsun | that does look goofey | 05:27 |
| berlylabs | nickrud: so i did the first command, now how do i remove the plugin | 05:28 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: same command, just use the plugin package name instead | 05:28 |

| Finnish | Hello | 05:31 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: now, go to the java test site again. | 05:31 |
| Draco_ | mindheavy: batteries lose capacity | 05:31 |
| n1k | Scenario: I'm connected via ssh to another computer. Is it possible for me to disconnect from that computer without interrupting whatever I'm doing? (Ie downloading a big file)? The "server" runs ubuntu. I'm connected via putty from windows. | 05:31 |
| * berlylabs verifying java install | 05:31 | |
| Draco_ | mindheavy: I've had one that went from hours to literally seconds, in a few days | 05:32 |
| berlylabs | still says I'm using 4.2 | 05:32 |
| berlylabs | i mean | 05:32 |
| phoenix24 | How can I use "git" from behind a firewall proxy ? | 05:32 |
| nalioth | n1k: you want "screen" | 05:32 |
| Draco_ | mindheavy: then it died entirely | 05:32 |
| berlylabs | 1.4.2 | 05:32 |
| mindheavy | Draco_: yeah, i understand that, seemed kinda weird it has happened so quickly | 05:32 |
| nalioth | n1k: use "screen" in any terminal window for a vast improvement of your options | 05:32 |
| phoenix24 | How can I use "git" from behind a firewall proxy ? | 05:32 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: and you removed the 1.4 plugin? Very odd. Restart firefox. | 05:32 |
| Finnish | I'm running out of disc space! My boot-partition is ext3, about 5gb, and it is now full. I've got also another partition which is about 14gb, and there is 13gb free | 05:32 |
| berlylabs | i believe i removed the plugin | 05:33 |
| iRRVi | poenix: i presume its a restrictive firewall proxy? | 05:33 |
| berlylabs | it told me it wasn't there | 05:33 |
| Lasivian | guess I want to see if there is any hope at all before I go back to windows :S | 05:33 |
| phoenix24 | iRRVi: yes | 05:33 |
| iRRVi | phoenix24: try your-freedom (java version) with openvpn | 05:33 |
| Draco_ | mindheavy: i'd say check it in windows and see if it fixes it (then it's a problem with ACPI or something), if you still were able | 05:33 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: told you how? dpkg -l 'j2re1.4*' lists all blackdown java packages, ii at the beginning means it's installed | 05:33 |
| iRRVi | phoenix24: i do that at my skewl :D | 05:33 |
| Odd-rationale | Finnish: Use a livecd with gparted (ubuntu's livecd should do) and resize your partitions. Make sure you back up first!!! | 05:34 |
| phoenix24 | iRRVi: which school ? | 05:34 |
| berlylabs | nickrud: Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_03-b05 is on the about : plugins page | 05:34 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: did you restart firefox? | 05:34 |
| mindheavy | Draco_: yeah, i'll look into that, thanks | 05:34 |
| berlylabs | nickrud: just did | 05:34 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: have you gone to the test site again? | 05:34 |
| iRRVi | phoenix: Heritage in littleton...they have some crazy wifi scheme setup to restrict access to certain websitges and services etc...your-freedom basically owns them | 05:34 |
| berlylabs | doing that now | 05:34 |
| berlylabs | still says I have 1.4.2 | 05:35 |
| Draco_ | mindheavy: for instance ASUS uses proprietary drivers in the Eee pc, which scared me. turn it off though, and things are.. fritzy | 05:35 |
| iRRVi | phoenix24: i believe the website is your-freedom.net | 05:35 |
| berlylabs | java -version tells me 1.6..... | 05:35 |
| iRRVi | phoenix24: if you need help setting it up give me a pm... | 05:35 |
| Finnish | Odd-rationale: Is it that simple? | 05:36 |
| nickrud | and firefox reports 1.6. Ok, clear your firefox cache. Or, try another test site | 05:36 |

| nickrud | berlylabs: yes | 05:41 |

| zero88 | rgsteele1, yes | 05:42 |
| zero88 | rgsteele1, but five minutes ago i was able to add and delete files from it | 05:42 |
| berlylabs | i have shockwave twice, some totem thing, gcj and java | 05:42 |
| rgsteele1 | zero88: is it your phone saying it's read only or your computer? | 05:42 |
| zero88 | rgsteele1, my comp | 05:42 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: gcj? that might be the problem. a sec | 05:43 |

| nickrud | berlylabs: dpkg -l 'gcjwebplugin*' , do any start with ii (meaning, installed)? | 05:44 |
| zero88 | also, how do i get my removable storage to be regonized ? With my storage in my phone,and my phone connected to my computer | 05:44 |
| WorkingOnWise | how do i change the java plugin that firefox is using | 05:45 |
| berlylabs | yes the only one there does | 05:45 |
| rgsteele1 | zero88: what is it you're doing when you get the message about something being read-only? | 05:45 |
| nickrud | n2diy: right click the stick, on the volume tab, you can select a mount point. Use only one directory name, not a path. That is, if you want it as USB1 , say USB1 not /media/USB1 | 05:46 |
| berlylabs | i removed it | 05:46 |
| berlylabs | nickrud: i removed it | 05:46 |
| nickrud | berlylabs: so, have you tested it? | 05:46 |

| n2diy | nickrud: where do I find the volume tab? In Nautilus, I can right click on Usbdisk, but rename is ghosted out. Same thing when I run gksudo nautilus. | 05:47 |
| berlylabs | nickrud: now it says i still dont' have the current version but I have version 6 now at least it says theres been to update 5 and i have 3 | 05:48 |
| TerrorBite | I'm stuck at 900MHz | 05:48 |
| rgsteele1 | zero88: are you unmounting the memory card before you eject it? | 05:48 |
| nickrud | n2diy: on the dialog window, there's a volume tab at the right end. Look there for a triangle next to mount point (or similar, don't have a usb stick at hand to give you the exact location) | 05:48 |
| ryan_mandelbaum | what the hell is GOK and how do i make it go away forever | 05:49 |
| berlylabs | omg omg it works | 05:49 |

| ryan_mandelbaum | how* | 05:51 |
| che | nickrud: is that usr/local/RealPlay or RealPlayer | 05:52 |
| nickrud | ryan_mandelbaum: it is the gnome on screen keyboard, sudo apt-get remove gok | 05:52 |

| nickrud | WorkingOnWise: about 5 minutes ago, after 30 minutes of remote troubleshooting, I learned that sudo apt-get remove gjcwebplugin is the solution :) | 05:54 |
| bluebanana | I installed a program in Synaptic (i.e. GmailNotify). It installed some 8 or 9 dependencies (lib*perl* stuff). But when I removed GmailNotify, it didn't remove the depencies!! aagh. What do i do? | 05:54 |
| che | nickrud: it gives error like permission denied, do i need use root | 05:55 |
| nickrud | che: yes sudo | 05:55 |
| nickrud | WorkingOnWise: that is gcjwebplugin, a typo above | 05:55 |
| n2diy | nickrud: can't get it to work. I ran gksudo nautilus, moved up to the /media directory, right clicked, and rename was available, but the new name is refused. Even a simple name like "one". | 05:55 |
| nickrud | n2diy: that's not how it's done. A sec | 05:55 |
| WorkingOnWise | nickrud: I used a command in a terminal before to switch between several java plugins, but cant for the life of me find it again.... | 05:56 |
| dallas | when i start synaptic an error box pops up saying E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg -configure -a' to correct the problem. I tried typing that in the terminal but it just said something along the lines on here is the help command for dpkg. any ideas how to fix it? | 05:56 |

| amenado | haymaker-> you have several hd ? is your bios pointing to the correct hd? | 05:57 |
| Maimster | amenado: Hey man... I just wanted to tell you that I got compiz-fusion working. Good eye candy. | 05:57 |

| TerrorBite | I've been having severe issues with CPU frequency scaling after resume. I have an EeePC running Ubuntu Gutsy | 05:57 |

| === praveen_ is now known as praveenr | ||
| n2diy | nickrud: I was afraid of that! :) But it is possible to assign a volume name to a usb stick, so when it is plugged in at appears with a unique name, rather than sda1? | 05:59 |
| nickrud | n2diy: just for kicks (I was able to round up a stick) plug the stick in, and right click the icon on the desktop | 05:59 |
| TerrorBite | I've been having severe issues with CPU frequency scaling after resume. I have an EeePC running Ubuntu Gutsy | 06:00 |
| n2diy | nickrud: I did, and remove and rename appear, but they are both ghosted out. | 06:00 |
| amenado | haymaker-> what about your windows? which partition is it on? did you put the correct entry in menu.lst? | 06:00 |
| darkcrab | how are those eeepc's? | 06:00 |
| nickrud | n2diy: now, do you have a tab labeled volume? | 06:00 |
| amenado | Maimster-> congrats..enjoy the spinning box | 06:00 |
| TerrorBite | darkcrab, works well for me | 06:00 |
| n2diy | nickrud: No, no tabs at all, just the ghosted out items. | 06:01 |
| Maimster | amenado: Yeah their are like dozens of cool features though. | 06:01 |
| haymaker | amenado I am not entirely sure, when i set up my grub file for linux, i had to point it to 0,0, so I assumed that sata disk 2 would be 1,0 and windows would be on 2,0 because it is the primary master on the ata controller | 06:01 |
| darkcrab | did it come pre-installed with gutsy terror? | 06:01 |
| darkcrab | just curious | 06:01 |
| nickrud | n2diy: dang. Then, I'm not sure how to do that in dapper, sorry. | 06:01 |
| dallas | ...... | 06:01 |
| gan | xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? | 06:01 |
| haymaker | amenado, maybe i should try 1,0 and 3,0 and see if those work? | 06:01 |
| TerrorBite | darkcrab, no, I had to install gutsy | 06:02 |
| dallas | anyone know why i keep getting that error? | 06:02 |
| amenado | haymaker-> i have read that yeah, with sata they kind of messes you up, on which gets detected first | 06:02 |
| TerrorBite | darkcrab, it came istalled with a custom Xandros install by Asus | 06:02 |
| zero88 | WOW BIG fucking bug in Ubuntu. Cant even delete and reformat this damn Microsd card. Wtf why wont gparted let me | 06:02 |
| amenado | haymaker so you may be in for some tweaking.. | 06:02 |
| n2diy | nickrud: Sorry, I'm confusing us. I do have a list of options, I selected properties, but there was no options there for renaming it. | 06:02 |
| haymaker | amenado i'll be back, i'm gonna try those and maybe futz with my bios | 06:03 |
| nickrud | n2diy: across the top of the properties dialog, I was looking for a tab called volume. , along with permission, notes, etc. | 06:03 |
| bluebanana | Hi people. I have a question which was unanswered 10 minutes ago. Am reposting it: I installed a program in Synaptic. It installed some 8 or 9 dependencies (lib*perl* stuff). But when I removed the program , Synaptic didn't remove the depencies!! aagh. What do i do? | 06:03 |
| nickrud | bluebanana: if those packages have no further reverse dependencies, sudo apt-get autoremove will get rid of them. | 06:04 |
| TerrorBite | bluebanana, I remember having the same problem when I installed kde | 06:04 |
| bluebanana | nickrud: thanks. | 06:04 |
| dallas | so nobody knows why im getting the synaptic error? | 06:04 |
| === diana_ is now known as CO_ROMANCE | ||
| TerrorBite | I ended up uninstlling a vital KDE package | 06:04 |
| bluebanana | how come synaptic won't automaticaally remove un-used dependencies? I don't get it | 06:04 |
| jarrettgreen | what is the dapper equivalent of '/home/srw/' | 06:05 |
| TerrorBite | which of course removed all packages depending on it | 06:05 |
| nickrud | dallas: um, maybe repeating the question every few minutes so the people that missed the original question will see it? | 06:05 |
| n2diy | nickrud: My taps are Basic, Emblems, Permissions, and Notes. What is frustrating, is before I select properties, I can see rename, ghosted out!? | 06:05 |
| nickrud | jarrettgreen: /home/srw , if that's a user dir | 06:05 |
| supersako | anyone here running xp in virtualbox in ubuntu? i cant figure out how much space i need for XP + Visual Studio + Adobe CS3 Master Suite | 06:05 |
| dallas | when i start synaptic an error box pops up saying E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg -configure -a' to correct the problem. I tried typing that in the terminal but it just said something along the lines on here is the help command for dpkg. any ideas how to fix it? | 06:06 |
| nickrud | n2diy: ok, the volume thing I was looking for came in after dapper. You can write a udev rule to name the devices, but that's beyond this channel :) | 06:06 |
| ogre | how do i remove a wireless network from automatically trying to connect. i think I want to delete the profile. thanks for any help | 06:06 |
| nickrud | dallas: type sudo dpkg --configure -a in the terminal | 06:06 |
| n2diy | nickrud: ok, can you recommend a channel? | 06:06 |
| darkcrab | Terror did you install Kubuntu? | 06:06 |
| nickrud | n2diy: #linux might help, or know a better one. #udev would be really nice if it exists :) | 06:06 |
| darkcrab | oh nvm | 06:07 |
| stitches | does anyone know if there is a good "Windows Mobile Device Center" replacement, or if it runs well in wine, or if i can even connect a windows mobile phone to linux. ive hear its possible, but i cant get it to work. | 06:07 |
| darkcrab | delete the key from keyring ogre. | 06:07 |
| n2diy | nickrud: #udev has six users! :) | 06:08 |
| nickrud | hahaha | 06:08 |
| nickrud | n2diy: maybe you'll get lucky, and one of them 'the' expert, and he's around and feeling generous | 06:08 |
| tomvolek_ | hi, I liek to connect to my home wireless network from work, ie punching a hole in the firewall or portforwarding ... amybody know ? | 06:08 |
| ogre | darkcrab: im not using kubuntu. there still a keyring? | 06:09 |
| n2diy | nickrud: I'm fishing there now. | 06:09 |
| darkcrab | ubuntu has a keyring manager. | 06:09 |
| nickrud | tomvolek_: you would port forward, yes. Port 22 for ssh, but the actual forwarding would depend on your router, you'll have to find the instructions for it somewhere | 06:09 |
| darkcrab | not sure how to do it if your not using a key. | 06:09 |
| nickrud | good evening icesword | 06:10 |
| icesword | nickrud, hehe,good afternoon | 06:10 |
| icesword | :) | 06:10 |
| ogre | how do i remove a wireless network from automatically trying to connect. i think I want to delete the profile. thanks for any help | 06:10 |
| tomvolek_ | nickrud, i like to use the client server terminal to control my home pc from work .. is that doable ? | 06:10 |
| amenado | ogre-> from the /etc/network/interfaces file, remove auto wlan0 assuming your nic is wlan0 | 06:11 |
| icesword | nickrud, i guess you are in the first time zone? | 06:11 |
| nickrud | tomvolek_: yes, but I don't use the terminal server myself. Not sure what ports you'd forward | 06:11 |
| nickrud | icesword: Los Angeles time zone | 06:11 |
| tomvolek_ | ok, i can figure that out, thanks nickrud, I will look into it .. | 06:11 |
| darkcrab | that would stop it from auto connecting period amendo | 06:11 |
| icesword | nickrud, ohhh,i see | 06:11 |
| amenado | ogre-> and off course remove the essid define there too | 06:11 |
| darkcrab | thats not what he wants | 06:11 |
| Sinnerman | hi. i have a rather annoying problem. i stuck a new hard disk in my laptop, reinstalled ubuntu, and installed ATI's drivers, however, fglrxinfo stubbornly keeps telling me my openGL provider is MESA, rather than ATI which had been the case on the previous install... anyone? | 06:12 |
| n2diy | nickrud: nobody seems to be concious or alert in #udev, I'll try #bash and/or #perl. | 06:12 |
| amenado | darkcrab you're a mind reader? hehe | 06:12 |
| darkcrab | I read what he said. | 06:12 |
| ogre | amenado: im just looking to remove my home wireless access point. im playing with aircrack-ng on my network and it keeps on reconnecting | 06:12 |
| darkcrab | He just wants to delete the profile | 06:12 |
| amenado | darkcrab so removing the essid definitions not going to do it? | 06:13 |
| iancp | just gonna ask if the latest virtual box can run autocad and photoshop with acceptable speed and thus it now support direct3d thanks | 06:13 |
| amenado | darkcrab btw, auto wlan0 meant only dont activate at boot time | 06:13 |
| nickrud | ogre: there's not a simple way to remove a profile from the gnome network manager, unfortuately. You need to identify which profile it is using gconf-editor /system/networking/wireless/networks , then gconftool --recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/<profile> | 06:13 |
| iancp | im quite having a hard time choosing a virtual machine for my box | 06:14 |
| iancp | :) | 06:14 |
| ogre | iancp: ive heard ubuntu is good ;P | 06:14 |
| ogre | nickrud: thanks alot :) | 06:14 |
| dolphin_noel | why in my windows i can have 1440x900 60hz and i can`t in ubuntu?! :x it gives me only 50hz :x | 06:14 |
| dolphin_noel | nvidia and drivers install :x | 06:15 |
| darkcrab | right amenado, I just meant that he wants the wlan0 to auto at boot time, but the essid definitions is fine. | 06:15 |
| dessnr | can somebody please lead me to the Fedora 8 server and/or channel? | 06:15 |
| nickrud | dolphin_noel: try running nvidia-settings, I hear that has a setting for that | 06:15 |
| allorder | hi everyone, I just got a weird error can someone look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58454/ | 06:15 |
| icesword | nickrud, i see los angeles time is 22:14,4th,march,right | 06:16 |
| dolphin_noel | nickrud yes i try and i make one save xorg.conf and replace reboot but don`t work :x | 06:16 |
| nickrud | icesword: yup . About 65 degrees, too :) | 06:16 |
| Nereos | hi | 06:16 |
| darkcrab | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=638011 | 06:16 |
| nickrud | dolphin_noel: I don't have an nvidia, so that was just something I remember reading | 06:16 |
| dolphin_noel | nickrud and the most strage is when i use nvidia-settings it gives to me 68hz :x but after reobot xorg.conf nathing :X | 06:16 |
| dolphin_noel | strange :x | 06:17 |
| nickrud | darkcrab: beat you to the punch :) | 06:17 |
| icesword | nickrud, hehe,you need to go to sleep | 06:17 |
| nickrud | icesword: nah, this beats television, don't have to be at work till 9am. And it takes me 10 minutes to drive | 06:18 |
| darkcrab | heh | 06:18 |
| iancp | ogre : im using ubuntu 7.10 right now, but i want to install autocad for my work | 06:18 |
| icesword | iancp, try wine then,www.winehq.org | 06:19 |
| iancp | i heard that virtualbox doesn't use directx or any video acceleration, (that is if im right) | 06:19 |
| icesword | iancp, check theri database | 06:19 |
| icesword | their | 06:19 |
| iancp | i dont want to use wine, | 06:19 |
| iancp | :) | 06:19 |
| nickrud | iancp: +10 :) | 06:20 |

| Sinnerman | hi. i have a rather annoying problem. i stuck a new hard disk in my laptop, reinstalled ubuntu, and installed ATI's drivers, however, fglrxinfo stubbornly keeps telling me my openGL provider is MESA, rather than ATI which had been the case on the previous install... anyone? | 06:20 |
| iancp | im planning on using more windows software | 06:20 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: did you use the ubuntu restricted driver, or the one from ati's site? | 06:20 |
| Nereos | Im using compiz-fusion and everything s good for now. but i cant visualize the virtual cube from the outside I only see it from the inside. I ask my friend google but it doesn't give me accurate answer. does anyone know how to fix it ? | 06:20 |
| iancp | wine doesn't support more software than i would like it hehehe | 06:20 |
| nickrud | Nereos: #compiz-fusion has the best compiz help (if someones awake) | 06:21 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud i have to use ATI's own, because the one that ships with ubuntu does not offer 3D acceleration for my graphics card with is a Xpress 1100 also labelled as Xpress 200M. | 06:21 |
| iancp | im comparing virtualbox and vmware | 06:21 |
| cens0red | http://www.chrisjordan.com/current_set2.php | 06:21 |
| icesword | iancp, it is say not easy to use wine | 06:21 |
| iancp | which to you guys is better for cad work? | 06:21 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: I use the Xpress 200, get acceleration from restricted driver in 7.10 . Just don't get suspend | 06:21 |
| Nereos | nickrud: yeah nice thank you :) | 06:21 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud in my previous install, i used the same sequence of events, install ubuntu, run the downloaded installer from ATI, and that worked fine. this time, fglrxinfo keeps telling me I'm using MESA instead of ATI. | 06:21 |
| icesword | iancp, vmware,what product you use?vmware workstation or vmware server | 06:22 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: don't know what to say. When I installed that driver, I used http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | 06:22 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud it just won't give me 3D acceleration. and i read somewhere that it did not support my chipset. is that an updated restricted driver? | 06:22 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: 8.37.6 supports the express 200 | 06:22 |
| gan | xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? | 06:22 |
| iancp | actually im not using anything right now | 06:22 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: 200m , I read back. Not sure | 06:23 |
| iancp | just looking around forums comparing vmare, virtualbox, qemu, kvm, etc | 06:23 |
| === OSUKid7` is now known as OSUKid7 | ||
| icesword | iancp, that depends?how many ram you have | 06:23 |
| iancp | in looking it seems virtualbox and vmware player is better in most instance | 06:23 |
| iancp | 1 gb only | 06:24 |
| nickrud | iancp: vmware-server works nicely, I've heard good things about virtualbox and plan on trying it. There's a technique for converting vmware images to virtualbox. | 06:24 |
| icesword | iancp, you know,virtualbox is free,yeah it is good,you can use virtualbox | 06:24 |
| iancp | some says its slower than vbox? | 06:24 |
| nickrud | iancp: you definitely want more mem. | 06:24 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud hmm... | 06:24 |
| Laughed | hey guys | 06:25 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud well, the only other option i've got left would seem for me to go the .deb way. which i'd not bothered with previously because running the installer seemed to work just fine. | 06:25 |
| iancp | nickrud: yeah youre right :) | 06:25 |
| icesword | iancp, no,listen to me,i even use vmware to run ubuntu 7.10 in 100m ram | 06:25 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: more involved, but it integrates better into the system and has easy removal. I detest having stray, unmanaged files in my root | 06:25 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud i do too, but im not averse to one or two exceptions. | 06:25 |
| iancp | icesword: really? and it runs smooth? | 06:25 |
| nickrud | Sinnerman: /usr/local, I have a couple compiled things there. But in /lib/modules? eecchh | 06:26 |
| kaiorafael | hello guys, i'm having a strange behavior in my gnome destktop, now all icons located at Desktop when i double click it opens with gedit, how do i make default behavior of whatever.desktop file back? | 06:26 |
| icesword | iancp, not really,it only can run,but couldn't called multitask system right then | 06:26 |
| iancp | i get into these forums and most of them are kind of outdated | 06:26 |
| DARKGuy | is there any GUI app to do a search & replace in files? | 06:26 |
| Laughed | Can i jump in and ask a question | 06:26 |
| icesword | iancp, but you have 1g ram,it is enough,i recommend you try virtualbox,though it will use more ram than vmware | 06:26 |
| icesword | Laughed, shoot | 06:27 |
| nickrud | Laughed: absolutely. No asking, other than the actual question is ever needed | 06:27 |
| iancp | i saw on one site that can optimize vmware: Open Virtual Machine Tools | 06:27 |
| Laughed | I am a complete newb to linux so I want to say inadvance thanks to any patience you can extend me | 06:27 |
| iancp | is that any good? | 06:27 |
| Laughed | lol, thanks ice, nick | 06:27 |
| prince_jammys | you're welcome | 06:28 |
| icesword | iancp, what you want | 06:28 |
| iancp | one thing im having second thought about virtualbox is that it seems it doesn't support directx | 06:28 |
| Laughed | Its my first install of ubuntu and it keeps freezing at the select and install software phase | 06:28 |
| iancp | and direct3d | 06:28 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, search and replace? as in text? | 06:28 |
| icesword | iancp, it does?sorry, i am not sure | 06:28 |
| nickrud | Laughed: did you run the disk check on the startup screen? | 06:28 |
| Laughed | yes i did and the md5sum check as well, both okay | 06:28 |
| icesword | iancp, you know vmware workstation is payware | 06:28 |
| iancp | oh ok, thanks icesword | 06:28 |
| DARKGuy | iancp, D3D doesn't but I've been able to play Total Annihilation and Diablo II through it. No D3D though (I dunno if TA is D3D though... maybe it's a reaaaally old version) | 06:29 |
| iancp | icesword: yup | 06:29 |
| DARKGuy | AnRkey_, yes, a text inside a bunch of files | 06:29 |
| iancp | is it different speed-wise to vmware player? | 06:29 |
| iancp | which i know is free | 06:29 |
| nickrud | Laughed: ctl-alt-f4 (or f8, I never can remember) has a log of what's happening during the install, might give you a clue | 06:29 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, if you want to automate it you can read up on "sed" | 06:29 |
| iancp | and vmware server also: is free! | 06:29 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, if you want to do it one file at a time then use gedit | 06:30 |
| icesword | iancp, vmware player is only a player,you can only use it to open that virtual system | 06:30 |
| nickrud | Laughed: although I'm not an install expert, I only install once a blue moon | 06:30 |
| iancp | how bout vmware-server? | 06:30 |
| Laughed | okay i hit CTRLALTF4 | 06:30 |
| Laughed | sorry bout caps | 06:30 |
| Laughed | but the screen is clipped | 06:30 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, Ctrl + H in gedit | 06:30 |
| Laughed | brb | 06:30 |
| DARKGuy | AnRkey_, yeah I have been suggested about sed, but I don't want anything commandline, I need something GUI - unless you know how do I access files in Sed through gnome's connect-to-server feature? and thanks for the gedit suggestion but I'm looking for a more automated way, there are hundreds of html files I need to do the replace in. | 06:30 |
| nickrud | Laughed: should be wrap around | 06:30 |
| icesword | iancp, yeh,it is free also,vmware-server,try it if you are curious what to use | 06:31 |
| iancp | i'm sorry if asking it here, people in the virtualbox channel doesn't respond hehehe | 06:31 |
| prince_jammys | DARKGuy: there's also a command "replace" for simple search and replace | 06:31 |
| n2diy | nickrud: found it thanks to the folks in #perl and #linux, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive | 06:31 |
| icesword | iancp, no,you are welcome,just feel free to ask | 06:31 |
| nickrud | iancp: you might want to ask for more info on #ubuntu-offtopic, I think I see a couple people that use vm's regularly there | 06:32 |
| Laughed | okay, sorry had to get out the remote and push the image up so i could read the text | 06:32 |
| iancp | oh ok | 06:32 |
| DARKGuy | iancp, personally, the performance I've gotten in VBox compared to VMWare Player/Server is about a speed increase of 150%, not mentioning the lighter load on the OS (IMHO) | 06:32 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, I am looking now | 06:32 |
| Laughed | this seems simple now. | 06:32 |
| DARKGuy | AnRkey_, thanks in advance :) | 06:32 |
| DARKGuy | prince_jammys, yeah, but does that work with gnome's connect-to-server feature? | 06:33 |
| icesword | DARKGuy, you mean virtualbox is fast than vmware? | 06:33 |
| gan | xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? | 06:33 |
| icesword | faster | 06:33 |
| Laughed | its asking: The default action is to keep your current version.... (thats clipped to the right and doesnt wrap around) | 06:33 |
| prince_jammys | DARKGuy: i don't know what that feature is | 06:33 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, I think regexxer might do what you want to do | 06:33 |
| Laughed | but my options are y/i/n/o/d/z | 06:33 |
| Laughed | Im thinking no | 06:33 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, sudo apt-get install regexxer | 06:33 |
| Sinnerman | nickrud i think maybe my problem lies in blacklisting the modules. im not entirely sure why wasn't the case previously. but it probably is now. | 06:34 |
| nickrud | Laughed: wow, that's really odd that you're getting that question. The answer would be no | 06:34 |
| iancp | DARKGuy: actually im leaning towards vbox since its open soure | 06:34 |
| === Erick is now known as Erickj92 | ||
| Laughed | its just giving me carriage retuns | 06:34 |
| DARKGuy | icesword, in my experience yes, I use Windows in VBox as secondary OS with seamless windows and I only have 512Mb RAM, and everything is pretty smooth (I had to switch from Ext3 to XFS though, so the load on HD was less and my OS could get responsive - not VBox dependant though, it happened to me in almost any app :p) | 06:34 |
| Laughed | not responding | 06:34 |
| overglow | i have gnome right now but for some reason when i install KDE my wireless wont work. My wireless network will show up in Kwifi but it wont ever assign me an ip and i think that is my prob but im not sure, any ideas? | 06:35 |
| nickrud | I wouldn't expect it to. That's a question only asked during upgrades, and ubuntu has supressed those as much as possible. I'm stumped. | 06:35 |
| Sinnerman | why. let me go play around with this. | 06:35 |
| DARKGuy | AnRkey_, is that GUI? | 06:35 |
| Laughed | im gonna have to start over. thanks though. that log really put things in perspectivve | 06:35 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, it is | 06:35 |
| gan | xen-ubuntu-server installed in my system but it is not working? i followed the document then also? | 06:35 |
| kenny | duuudes | 06:35 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, the CLI tool, sed, is awesome and powerful | 06:36 |
| icesword | DARKGuy, yes,i want to say virtualbox is good,at all,it is free,but you know,you cannot run virtualbox in 256m ram,coz it does a not good enough mem management | 06:36 |
| Hewus | Hello everyone. Does anyone know a program that logs the traffic passing through a network interface? Text based is fine. I remember using NetLimiter on Windows which did the job. | 06:36 |
| AnRkey_ | DARKGuy, expand your horizons, try something new :D | 06:36 |
| Laughed | well, Im registering as I am sure ill need to come back. thanks again you guys, ice, nick | 06:37 |
| icesword | AnRkey_, what good? | 06:37 |
| nickrud | Laughed: you're welcome for the teensy bit I did ;) | 06:37 |
| phoenix24 | How can I use "git" from behind a firewall proxy ? | 06:37 |
| AnRkey_ | icesword, what good ? < ? | 06:37 |
| DARKGuy | AnRkey_, yeah, I've gotten a lot of sed suggestions in the past :D but I don't know how to access the files where they are in console, I've never been able to unless it's been through nautilus, since it's like ftp://user@address:21/ | 06:37 |
| icesword | AnRkey_, you just told DARKGuy to try some thing good,i am just curious what you said "good" | 06:38 |
| DARKGuy | icesword, well yeah, it's horrid to use in 256RAM but so is VMWare, or any other kind of virtualization program! they're RAM eaters | 06:38 |
| iancp | has anyone run any windows cad program through vbox smoothly? | 06:39 |
| kulnes | What can I use for creating a floppy image from a zip file? | 06:39 |
| AnRkey_ | icesword, <AnRkey_> DARKGuy, expand your horizons, try something new :D | 06:39 |
| iancp | like autocad, max? | 06:39 |
| overglow | anyone know? | 06:40 |
| icesword | DARKGuy, believe it or not,i have 256m ram in total,but you know i use vmware to run ubuntu 7.10 in 100m ram,heeh | 06:40 |
| Skarpz | AnRkey: I want to expand my horizons and try something new :) | 06:40 |
| AnRkey_ | icesword, I suggested that he try a tool called sed | 06:40 |
| AnRkey_ | Skarpz, try vista :D | 06:40 |
| DigitalNinja | I'm running Gutsy and trying to get Amarok to output audio to my USB headset. Is there a way to do this? | 06:40 |
| DARKGuy | icesword, o_O with X and all?? | 06:40 |
| icesword | AnRkey_, i see,it is a powerful tool,but he need to learn it,before it acts powerfully | 06:41 |
| bluebanana | what do you guys think about EDUP brand wireless LAN PCI adapter? | 06:41 |
| magnetron | iancp: very few programs run through vbox smoothly | 06:41 |
| DARKGuy | icesword, true o,o | 06:41 |
| icesword | DARKGuy, yes,ubuntu 7.10,gnome,but it cannot be called multi-task system right then | 06:41 |
| iancp | magnetron: how'bout vmware? | 06:41 |
| DARKGuy | icesword, hehe I figured XD... but pretty cool to know though :D | 06:42 |
| Skarpz | AnRkey: I might try Vista but I'll have it dual booted when I get a new PC | 06:42 |
| erawfish_ | DigitalNinja: does your usb soundcard work with ALSA's snd-usb-audio? | 06:42 |
| magnetron | iancp: could be smoother | 06:42 |
| iancp | oh ok | 06:42 |
| erawfish_ | DigitalNinja: it's a soundcard like any other | 06:42 |
| erawfish_ | bluebanana: what chip is on it? card brands mean nothing under linux | 06:43 |

| darkcrab | well, yea, unless your using a proxy, your IP is public | 06:58 |

| fabri | sorry, what do you mean by !sound | 08:40 |
| fabri | DaftPunk what do you mean by that? | 08:40 |
| DaftPunk | fabri, there is a bot, its called ubotu and it is supposed to put out links for sound issues with that command, but its not in the channel for some reason | 08:41 |

| fabri | i have a toshiba satellite | 08:42 |

| fabri | !sound | 08:48 |
| pppZero | bazhang, in the gui, no, it is setup correctly though, `ifup eth0` brings the interface up with its proper IP/routes/etc (ie, its not getting a dhcp lease) | 08:48 |
| DaftPunk | fabri what was your sound prob | 08:49 |
| DaftPunk | fabri, reinstall alsa drivers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting | 08:51 |

| Hadeshorn | Anyone familar with 802.1xx? | 09:34 |
| prince_jammys | booster_: because you don't have permissions? | 09:35 |
| richardus | if i want to copy files from one user acct to another with sudo cp, other then chmod/chown -R is there a better/smarter way of changing the ownership of the files | 09:35 |
| prince_jammys | booster_: you can run the filebrowser as root with:: gksudo nautilus | 09:35 |
| Laughed_ | what about you shane: Whats your beast pushing | 09:35 |

| shane_ | laughed Intel core 2 duo toshiba satellite 1gb ram 160 gb internal .. 250 external seagate. ..poor thing ... came with vista home premium slow as can be out of the box so i figured ubuntu would be a good alternative | 09:41 |
| Laughed_ | if nobody here isnt wathcing jericho you should be | 09:41 |
| prince_jammys | mimrian: when you are using the command line, spaces are used to separate parameters. so when your filename contains spaces, the shell doesn't know. | 09:41 |
| prince_jammys | mimrian: it's a very good idea to use underscores instead my_folder | 09:41 |

| magnetron | g1: what happens if you run the system > Administration > Restricted driver manager? | 09:50 |

| linkster | i could do a snapshot, but im not sure how | 11:13 |

| deformation | my wireless worked too, its intel2200 | 11:30 |
| Light- | I think. I noticed it was enabled in the "Restricted Drivers" section after I installed | 11:30 |
| Light- | That PC is actually in windows atm, i'll check teh device manager | 11:30 |
| tmoney_ | my wireless is dead it worked for 2 days then died so i had to get a linksys g card | 11:30 |
| sander_m | Thanks | 11:30 |
| Light- | yep, its an Intel 3945ABG | 11:31 |
| tmoney_ | but it works lik ones a month for lik 20secs | 11:31 |
| sander_m | Light-: You're sure it worked off the Live CD? | 11:31 |

| Light- | do you hear a login sound when you log in? | 11:33 |

| Light- | Ok, I just read somewhere that of the incorrect driver is loaded then it could nuke your array | 11:34 |
| Light- | *if | 11:34 |

| friend | antivirus against what? | 11:56 |
| Tm_T | friend: me | 11:56 |

| jtravnick | bentob0x, only reson i use one is to check any files i am sent that i might send on to windows users | 11:57 |
| hischild | bentob0x, the worst that can happen on ubuntu is a thief comes in and throws a bucket of water on your box ... | 11:57 |
| bentob0x | or a rootkit | 11:57 |
| devron6 | hischild: actually there is a lot of things that can happen | 11:58 |

| hischild | devron6, i meant in terms of viruses | 11:58 |

| devron6 | archman: open up terminal | 12:09 |

| Stephmw | bazhang: just for laughs, I tried the normal autologin... alas doesn't ask for a password | 12:09 |
| waylandbill | zoidberg_: I assume so as it makes flash animations. see their project page: http://f4l.sourceforge.net/ | 12:10 |
| archman | devron6: for hda1 not found, for sda1 bad magic number | 12:10 |
| devron6 | okay type sda2 | 12:10 |

| devron6 | fdisk /dev/sda | 12:11 |
| archman | sda2? | 12:11 |
| devron6 | once in there press p 'print' | 12:11 |
| devron6 | no just /dev/sda | 12:11 |
| devron6 | 'fdisk /dev/sda' then 'p' for print | 12:12 |

| bazhang | Stephmw: under system administration login window do you see the autologin setting? is that what you are looking for? | 12:21 |
| thewizkid | anybody able to give me a hint why depmod fails on a clean ubuntu-server install with latest updates? | 12:21 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: I see that, and it works fine: for my user it logs it in automatically. What I want is to have that functionality, but still have a password request. | 12:22 |
| bazhang | krept`: what adapter--what chipset do you have; built in or usb dongle | 12:22 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: I just don't want to have to enter my username everytime I login ;) | 12:22 |

| Jack_Sparrow | bazhang, Good morning | 12:24 |
| bazhang | Stephmw: sorry that was a question ;] | 12:24 |
| krept` | but the ubuntu machine is right in front of me, with no internet :) | 12:24 |
| bazhang | good morning Jack_Sparrow! | 12:24 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: hehe, so, yes, autologin+password | 12:24 |
| cdealer | good morning all. Why cups doesnt start at boot? All my ubuntu boxes are having this problem ... im using ubuntu 7.10 | 12:24 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: I've got the fingerprint scanner working... hence the idea | 12:24 |
| bazhang | Stephmw: that seems contradictory ;] | 12:24 |
| bazhang | oh I see ;] | 12:24 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: not quite... I want the user to be autoselected, but some security to still apply | 12:25 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: having GDM remember the last user would work just as well | 12:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stephmw, Do you have the scanner actually checking the print or just scanning an image with xsane | 12:25 |
| Stephmw | Jack_Sparrow: I have the ThinkFinger pam module running | 12:25 |
| Stephmw | Jack_Sparrow: so the actual print | 12:25 |
| devron6 | cdealer: one moment let me take a look | 12:25 |
| krept` | bazhang, the driver disk only has exe files | 12:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stephmw, great.. was there any tutorial for it.. and which scanner are you using | 12:26 |
| Ein_ | it's not working | 12:26 |
| bazhang | Stephmw: then you should go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ this site and add that--I think you are ahead of the curve if I read your intentions correctly ;] | 12:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !doesntwork | 12:26 |
| ubot5 | Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 12:26 |
| Stephmw | Jack_Sparrow: there's a ubuntu tutorial for it and I'm using the builtin scanner in my Dell XPS 1330 | 12:26 |
| Ein_ | bash: /home/user/Desktop/Jacks-Notes/Partition.Layout.03-05-2008-15:22:30.txt: No such file or directory | 12:27 |
| archman_ | devron6: it's not working | 12:27 |
| bazhang | krept`: can you get a live cd on that machine or is ubuntu already installed on it | 12:27 |
| Stephmw | Jack_Sparrow: I'll dig up the link, one sec | 12:27 |
| archman_ | devron6: can't boot xp anymore | 12:27 |

| ubot5 | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 12:27 |
| ubot5 | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 12:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Stephmw, thanks... | 12:27 |
| devron6 | archman: you are booted into the system correct | 12:27 |
| krept` | i can put a live cd in | 12:27 |
| archman_ | devron6: it's like it stops on grub> | 12:27 |
| krept` | the device shows up in lspci | 12:28 |
| devron6 | archman: what version of windows are you running | 12:28 |
| devron6 | archman: can you also give me the output of your /etc/grub.conf | 12:28 |
| bazhang | krept`: could you tell me the exact name in lspci? | 12:28 |
| Stephmw | bazhang: haha, I'd missed this bit: "I still need to type my login. I want to only swipe my finger. A: Indeed, it would be cool. This is a feature currently not supported by Thinkfinger but it might be available in future releases." | 12:28 |
| krept` | sure | 12:28 |
| krept` | 02:04:0 Ethernet controller: Linksys, A Division of Cisco... WMP11v4 802.11b PCI card | 12:29 |

| bazhang | krept`: that seems like an ethernet device; is there no name for the wireless one? what does ifconfig say in the terminal | 12:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ein_, look at your desktop and look for a new file | 12:30 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Ein_, Open it and see if you see all your partitions | 12:30 |
| archman | devron6: xp sp2 | 12:30 |
| Ein_ | I see them all | 12:30 |
| krept` | well i have two entries in ifconifg | 12:30 |
| krept` | one is eth0 | 12:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gemidjy, thanks for your opinion | 12:31 |
| cdealer | devron6, this is the only error I got... when starting manualy it doesnt generate any errorlog... E [05/Mar/2008:08:21:40 -0300] DNSServiceRegister failed with error -65537 | 12:31 |
| krept` | and the other is ethoavah | 12:31 |
| krept` | then lo which is local loopback | 12:31 |
| devron6 | cdealer: hmm | 12:31 |
| archman | devron6: /etc/grub.conf does not exist on my machine | 12:31 |
| devron6 | that is wierd | 12:31 |

| netsrot | hi, how do I get swedish chars to work in terminal outside X? | 12:32 |
| bob__ | Hi, i've got a minor question, when i install ubuntu on a system using the alternate disk, at a certain moment it displays "Select and install applications", but i can't really select anything, it just installs the whole bunch | 12:32 |
| bob__ | would be gret if i was able to choose | 12:32 |
| bazhang | krept`: it may be that it is identifying your network wireless card as an ethernet card--the eth0avah entry it would seem | 12:32 |
| devron6 | archman: one moment | 12:32 |
| archman | devron6: gutsy | 12:32 |
| cdealer | devron6, its happen with all my ubuntu boxes .... only with cups... | 12:32 |
| devron6 | archman: what version of windows are you running | 12:32 |
| Ein_ | <Jack_Sparrow> I sow the txt file | 12:32 |
| archman | devron6: xp sp2 | 12:32 |
| krept` | i see | 12:33 |
| bazhang | netsrot: you have the language support installed for swedish language? | 12:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ein_, in the text file.. do you see the partitions you were trying to find | 12:33 |
| bob__ | does anyone have an answer for me? | 12:33 |
| devron6 | archman: give me the output of /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:33 |
| netsrot | bazhang: I don't know, how do I check? I don't use gnome or kde btw. | 12:33 |
| Ein_ | <Jack_Sparrow> yes | 12:33 |
| bazhang | krept`: any info on the box that the computer came in or the specs on what that card is? (ie the exact name)? | 12:33 |
| devron6 | cdealer: are you running desktop or server | 12:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bob__, Perhaps the server or minimal install cds would work better for you | 12:34 |
| krept` | i built the computer myself | 12:34 |
| bazhang | netsrot: what do you use for a package manager? | 12:34 |
| krept` | and i have the driver cd for the card | 12:34 |
| netsrot | bazhang: synaptic | 12:34 |
| Ein_ | <Jack_Sparrow> I saw them all | 12:34 |
| archman | devron6: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58481/ | 12:34 |
| bazhang | netsrot: could you please go into synaptic and search for swedish | 12:34 |
| bob__ | Jack_Sparrow: where can i find those? i only know how to get the live and alternate disks | 12:34 |
| krept` | but it's windows only | 12:34 |
| krept` | i can open up the pdf manual | 12:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !minimal | 12:34 |
| ubot5 | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 12:34 |
| netsrot | bazhang: I'm working on it. | 12:35 |
| cdealer | devron6, desktop install ... | 12:35 |
| bob__ | thanks ubot5 | 12:35 |
| netsrot | bazhang: nope | 12:35 |
| bazhang | krept`: well you can try to use ndiswrapper but it would be better to use the native linux (if there any) drivers | 12:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ein_, please refine your question. | 12:35 |
| devron6 | cdealer: okay one moment ill get back to you let me help archman real fast because i was helping him first it will only be another moment | 12:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devron6, nice work on his grub by the way | 12:36 |
| bazhang | netsrot: then you need to install it--for system wide, open office or whatever you need | 12:36 |
| devron6 | jack: as i told him before he reboots he will have to come back into irc and i will tell him how to boot back into windows | 12:36 |
| Ein_ | I mean I saw all partitions in txt file but what should I do next? | 12:36 |
| bazhang | krept`: if you checked the pdf that would be great | 12:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devron6, Yep, saw that, easy to fix from there | 12:36 |
| Ein_ | <Jack_Sparrow> I mean I saw all partitions in txt file but what should I do next? | 12:37 |
| netsrot | bazhang: I want all programs to keep talking english while supporting swedish characters to be typed. | 12:37 |
| devron6 | jack: sorry i am confused then were you being sarcastic when you said nice work with his grub | 12:37 |
| archman | devron6: ? | 12:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Ein_, What are you trying to do.. with the partitions. you said you could not see them.. so are you just trying to mount htem | 12:37 |
| devron6 | archman: now for the final step do this | 12:37 |
| netsrot | bazhang: should I install language-pack-sv and language-pack-sv-base? | 12:38 |
| krept` | yeah i got it open, any specific information you need? | 12:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devron6, No, I was serious.. not sarcastic.. just saying good work.. | 12:38 |
| Ein_ | <Jack_Sparrow> yes I want to mount them | 12:38 |
| archman | devron6: im on live still!! | 12:38 |
| devron6 | archman: come down buddy :) | 12:38 |
| archman | devron6: ok | 12:38 |
| bazhang | netsrot: sounds like a plan ;] | 12:38 |
| archman | devron6: sorry | 12:38 |
| devron6 | archman: when you booted into grub and you tried to boot of linux what happened? | 12:38 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !mount | 12:39 |

| archman | devron6: it just stopped on grub> | 12:39 |
| devron6 | okay did you see an option for windows | 12:39 |
| devron6 | when you press esc | 12:39 |
| netsrot | bazhang: and then just reboot and it works? | 12:39 |
| archman | devron6: didn't try; should i? | 12:39 |
| devron6 | yes lets see if you can atleast get into windows then we will work on fixing your grub to get into linux | 12:40 |
| devron6 | jack: thanks man thought you were being sarcastic at first | 12:40 |
| devron6 | my mistake | 12:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devron6, Sarcasm is wasted in text.. :) | 12:40 |
| archman | devron6: after when i broke grub i installed some boot loader from hiren's boot cd; will that be a problem? | 12:41 |
| archman | devron6: though it disappeared now... | 12:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devron6, I am seldom here at this hour of the am... nice to see others helping | 12:41 |
| devron6 | archman: after I told you what to do to fix grub you installed something of hirens? | 12:41 |
| devron6 | off* | 12:41 |
| archman | devron6: now it automatically enters grub | 12:41 |

| devron6 | press esc | 12:42 |
| bazhang | netsrot: well then you need to go into system preferences keyboard and add swedish as a layout to your kb | 12:42 |
| devron6 | archman: then it should not be a problem | 12:42 |
| devron6 | when you see grub press esc | 12:42 |

| vallhalla81 | Ergo^: may be kubuntu would be better? | 13:02 |
| bazhang | netsrot: then go into keyboard, enable the swedish layout, install the swedish language support and define a trigger in the same place that you set the keyboard layout | 13:02 |

| DonkeyKong101 | my network is pretty well setup i think...i can access all files on my windows computer...i added the printer (found it on the network) the problem i have is it only send about 100kb of the file...then nothing...it almost prints..teases me...then just doesnt | 13:33 |
| bloupotlood | nope, using VMware, normal ubuntu ISO, asking for a username password, wiiiierd | 13:33 |

| nickthorley | jack_Sparrow: yes think i will do that and then mount the old home and move everything into 1 folder and then set ubuntu to use the new partition with folder as home and then I can copy bits I need over for each prob | 13:40 |
| Lartza517 | hypn0: other comps can connect to web | 13:40 |
| plamen | hi | 13:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, I just see too many things that might cause you issues like permissions etc. and it would be nice to have a working gui to try and straighten it out | 13:40 |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: does my last suggestion sound like a plan? | 13:41 |
| ConstyXIV | how secure is a SSH tunnel? | 13:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, I would let ubuntu make /home on root... try to use the page I gave you to set your old home as the new home and see if it works.. | 13:42 |
| archman | devron6: nothing; should i reinstall? will i then be able to boot into xp? | 13:42 |
| Pici | ConstyXIV: As secure as anything else you do in SSH. | 13:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, you can always create folder on root, wipe old /home and create new home from ubuntu default /homer on root and copyu stuff back | 13:43 |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: will do - plan to do it this weekend so will let you know - if I do that and an individual prog gives me probs I can always save out the bits I need (such as bookmarks in firefox) and then delete the directory and let it recreate it | 13:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | correct | 13:43 |
| amortvigil | hey ive just installed ubuntu but im getting the error about missing a font path when starting x (i installed server edition) how can i fix this? | 13:44 |
| * Bosan brb hunting cewe dulu ahkkk | 13:44 | |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: thanks - cant believe I am doing it really - been a total redhat/fedora fan for about 10 years and now going ubuntu | 13:44 |
| Llewxam | huh... now when i try running livecd i get an endless stream of i/o errors 0.o | 13:44 |
| DonkeyKong101 | i tried to setup my printer again.....i can see it on my windows network...it just wont print anything....only a couple kbs get sent thru, then nothing? | 13:44 |
| alanhaggai | Llewxam, the I/O errors and the squashfs errors? | 13:45 |
| Llewxam | yep | 13:45 |
| Ergo^ | if i have /home on separate partition is it better to reinstall ubuntu to 8.04 or rather rely on upgrading from network ? | 13:45 |
| Llewxam | those definitely would be it alanhaggai | 13:46 |
| alanhaggai | Llewxam, I too have the same problem with my other PC when trying to boot with the Live CD. Still have not found a solution to it. | 13:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, we are here to help you over the rough spots | 13:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, not really | 13:47 |
| Viper111 | i need to setup my squid but am not sure i can do it myself so any can offer help | 13:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | devron6, sure will keep an eye out | 13:48 |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: maybe that is my calling to note everything I struggle with and then write a conversion guide | 13:48 |
| devron6 | jack: thx | 13:48 |
| incorrect | hello, i am having issues witht he nvidia driver, | 13:48 |
| Dante123 | hi all. My pc is SOMETIMES failing to boot up into Ubuntu. When it does I turn it off and then back on again and then it almost always boots properly. I turned off splash so I could see when it hangs. The point where it hangs is when it says "Reading files needed to boot". If I restart and then hit enter at grub menu....it will reboot without a hitch. Any ideas? | 13:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, Documentation always helps | 13:48 |

| stanis_sh | hi all | 13:48 |
| stanis_sh | does anybody knows how to set up routes for vpn? | 13:49 |
| graspol | hello there | 13:50 |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: one prob I did have last night was flash - i got the do you want to install plugins thing in firefox and I said yes install flash and it did and then said would nee dto restart browser which I did but then it came back and still said I needed to install the same plugin - any ideas | 13:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, I would suspect problems on that drive.. | 13:51 |
| amortvigil | how do i install the fonts needed for xorg? | 13:51 |
| Ergo^ | nickthorley : , install flash-nonfree with synaptic - worked very well for me | 13:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickthorley, Install manually, their auto installer has had issues | 13:51 |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: when you say manually you mean from the adobe site | 13:52 |
| Ergo^ | nickthorley: : you can install flash with synaptic | 13:52 |
| Dante123 | Jack_Sparrow hmmm....any suggestions for determining hd errors or fixing them | 13:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | see ergo above | 13:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Dante123, fsck | 13:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brb, need to make nice with the wife | 13:52 |
| Dante123 | type that from terminal | 13:52 |
| Dante123 | right? | 13:53 |
| nickthorley | jack_sparrow: nice - is this a private nice or did you meal rice haha | 13:53 |
| Dante123 | should I boot up a live cd then run fsck without having the drive mounted? | 13:54 |
| nickthorley | dante123: which partition is it that you have a problem with? | 13:54 |
| Dante123 | did you read my original boot problem....might give some background | 13:54 |
| Dante123 | nickthorley...the drive in question has windows and ubuntu on it (fairly new drive) | 13:55 |
| Llewxam | hmmm. k then how do i wipe off vista now? | 13:55 |
| Dante123 | I get a "Reading files needed to boot". If I restart and then hit enter at grub menu....it will reboot without a hitch. Any ideas? | 13:56 |
| nickthorley | dante123: not had enough experience with ubuntu to comment on what it could be but I would fsck all filesystems and yes for root you will have to boot from the rescue cd | 13:56 |
| Dante123 | I've read that running fsck on mounted partition can cause all kinds of problems | 13:56 |
| hischild | Dante123, thus boot from a rescue disc and then fsck? | 13:57 |
| nickthorley | yes it can do so best off rescue cd then all should be unmounted | 13:57 |

| wigren | i have an Averatec 6130HS-20 | 14:04 |

| dgjones | Llewxam, if you don't need to keep any partitions on the machine, you can just tell the installer to use the whole of the drive, which will erase Vista and create a new partition just for ubuntu | 14:07 |
| Llewxam | dgjones, k i'm gonna try that now. | 14:07 |
| dgjones | Llewxam, it might be an idea to set up a seperate partition for /home though rather than just letting the installer use the whole drive automatically | 14:08 |

| Jack_Sparrow | cjae, If the gdm theme you added does not have options menu, it is not a simple task to add one in | 14:20 |
| Robson309 | erUSUL: yes | 14:20 |
| erUSUL | raiderxx: aouch!! with a 8xxx series card you will need the drivers from nvidia.com or use envy (both options dangerous if you do not know what you a are doing) if you want 3d acceleration | 14:21 |
| cjae | Jack_Sparrow, ok do you have time for one more question ... related? | 14:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sure | 14:21 |
| raiderxx | erUSUL, AKA Im screwed? | 14:21 |
| alanhaggai | Hi. Which is a good video compression software in Ubuntu? | 14:22 |

| alanhaggai | erUSUL, thank you. I will install them. | 14:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, No, 8800 works, but needs the nvidia special drivers.. we spent a lot of time yesterday when you didnt say or admit you had used envy. | 14:23 |
| cjae | Jack_Sparrow, I also changed my background/wallpaper and from when I hit enter to when I get my desktop I still get that godawful brown before it loads my desktop, how may I get rid of this? | 14:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cjae, try to change it under system admin ... login window ... | 14:24 |
| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, I thought I said I did.. But I formatted the HDD and reinstalled ubuntu. | 14:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, I just got back to my desk, so tell me what brought up the suggestion of envy on your pc? | 14:25 |
| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, well, the first time I installed ubuntu, envy just sort of popped up and I was like, hey! This is how I get my drivers! | 14:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, FYI, I fully agree with erUSUL | 14:26 |
| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, envy was already there | 14:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, Envy was part of your ubuntu install..? | 14:27 |
| raiderxx | Jack_Sparrow, yes | 14:27 |
| cjae | Jack_Sparrow, ok I clicked under tab of local under login window and selected black already but it still makes the ugly brown, what else can I change? | 14:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | raiderxx, Where did you download the cd? | 14:27 |

| Jack_Sparrow | archman, Glad to hear it.. will let him know.. thanks | 14:31 |
| archman | Jack_Sparrow: btw, whats the difference between gksudo and sudo ? | 14:31 |
| raiderxx | Pici, I have 7.04 | 14:31 |
| danand | raiderxx - installation of the driver from nvidia.com is not _that_ difficult - think you will need the kernel headers for your current kernel though - you may wanna do an sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`. if i remember rightly the install from nvidia uses an install script that must be run as root while X is not running. Sure the README will explain it a lot better than i have though. luck :) | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | dBarton, I like cairo-dock for the osx look... | 14:31 |
| peace | nvidia restricted drivers are old and with them fatal x error happens many many times... all i want is to install 169drivers from nvidia.com and its a mess with this thing.. | 14:31 |
| dgjones | !gksudo | archman | 14:31 |
| ubot5 | archman: 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) | 14:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | archman, gksudo is for gui apps.. it is dangerour to use sudo for gui apps.. see the link that follows | 14:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !gksudo | 14:32 |
| dBarton | Jack_Sparrow: I don't want OS X look, I just want the controls on the left... I'm kinda a Mac user and it's hard to adjust. =) | 14:32 |
| Pici | raiderxx: If Envy came with your installation you'll have to find out where you got it from because we definitely don't support it. | 14:32 |
| raiderxx | Ok. | 14:32 |
| bazhang | uh oh envy | 14:32 |
| erUSUL | peace: 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)' install build-essential too. Then stop X 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop' and run the installer from a VT (terminal) | 14:32 |

| danand | raiderxx - www.ubuntu.com | 14:33 |
| archman | so it's better to always use gksudo? | 14:33 |
| erUSUL | archman: gksudo is for graphical apps | 14:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | archman, I always use gksudo gedit myself or sudo nano etc | 14:34 |
| peace | i did it yesterday..and its a big mess now in my pc erusul | 14:34 |
| komputes | archman: only for graphical apps | 14:34 |
| raiderxx | danand, hmm.. Thought I tried that.. lol. Ok. | 14:34 |
| raiderxx | Thank you everyone for your help. | 14:34 |
| cjae | Jack_Sparrow, got thought maybe was bug, thanks | 14:34 |
| archman | ok guys, thanks | 14:34 |
| komputes | archman: sudo for command line apps is fine | 14:34 |
| erUSUL | peace: well nobody says is trivial... did you let the installer configure your xorg.conf? | 14:35 |
| archman | great support, guys, you're the BEST ! | 14:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | we try | 14:35 |
| erUSUL | peace: the last time i did that the instaler left the xorg.conf on my home instead of overwritting /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 14:35 |
| archman | :-) | 14:35 |
| peace | i let it do everything it wanted to do... but after i instaled 169... the linux was not found neither graphical drivers, nor monitor drivers..and after i did it manually..it was resolution 800*600 and no 3d support( no game launches ) | 14:36 |
| archman | ;-) | 14:36 |
| xGeek | wow I'm impressed... | 14:36 |

| peace | now i disabled restricted drivers..and now i want to uninstall all drivers with add/remove..and then to install it freshly? ( i doubt it will be ok.) | 14:37 |
| erUSUL | peace: boot into recovery mode and try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aranel, YOu may need to recompile your alsa drivers for that.. please use version 15 not 16 and you may need to remove and reinstall libasound2 | 14:37 |

| hwilde_ | bazhang, the coc says if you don't know how to answer a question don't suggest random tangents | 15:02 |
| danand | hwilde_ - arp resolves ip addresses to mac addresses. ie in order for a machine to communicate with another it will ask "who has 192.168.0.1" and the machine with that address will send back its mac or hardware address ie 192.168.0.1 is at 00:10:e1:dc .... etc. if two machines have the same ip address that will cause problems with arp as both machines will answer with their mac addresses | 15:03 |

| amenado | hwilde_-> look we all get busy on our lives..if you want quick answer would you like to pay for support? | 15:04 |

| Aranel | Jack_Sparrow: ok , i reinstalled it. | 15:07 |
| Aranel | and i did depmod thing before it. | 15:07 |
| Pici | hwilde_: Specifically the networking part of the question, not the Ubuntu portion | 15:07 |
| hwilde_ | I am ssh'ing to the unique IPs on the eth0 interface, and it sometimes goes to the other machine. from my understanding the eth0:1 should not affect the arp on the eth0 | 15:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aranel, apt-get will do it, but I usuallu tell people to use synaptic to completely remove it first | 15:07 |
| hwilde_ | so what this tells me is that Ubuntu is sending out gratuitous arp packets that are confusing the router in the network | 15:08 |
| Aranel | Jack_Sparrow: i tried it but it says it'll remove 1500mb~ (mostly games etc) | 15:08 |
| danand | hwilde_ - are you ssh'ing using eth0:1 ? | 15:08 |
| hwilde_ | so If I can disable the gratuitous arp for the eth0:1 interface then it will work | 15:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aranel, Remember it mutes everything so go unmute and test | 15:08 |
| danand | hwilde_ - are you ssh'ing using eth0:1 ? | 15:08 |
| hwilde_ | danand, no I am ssh'ing into the unique IP on eth0 primary interface, and sometimes it goes to the other machine | 15:08 |
| rhineheart_m | hwilde: more users are complaining of your conduct here.. So.. if you feel like its a fault.. then say an apology to the public.. OKay? Don't just ignore what they are actually trying to say here... | 15:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aranel, dont do that | 15:08 |
| Aranel | Jack_Sparrow: how can I unmute it ? | 15:08 |

| BrightEyes` | if disabling fsck make my system boot faster? | 15:09 |
| danand | hwilde_ - sorry - are you issuing the ssh using the eth0:1 interface ie connecting to the unique ip on eth0 from the eth0:1 interface? | 15:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Aranel, double click your speaker icon and go through settings | 15:10 |
| JuliaJCastaway | where am I? | 15:10 |
| Aranel | Jack_Sparrow: ok, i opened Kmix | 15:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | BrightEyes`, it only fsck's when there is a problem or every 23 days by default. if it runs every time. there are likel other problems | 15:10 |
| hwilde_ | danand, I am issuing ssh from the network to the eth0 interface. the eth0 interface on the two machines have unique IPs on the network. the eth0:1 interface is not on the network just local. but when ssh'ing to the eth0 interface unique IP on the network, sometimes it goes to the other machine.. which it shouldn't because it has a unique IP itself. so I think the eth0:1 interfaces are confusing the arp table somehow. | 15:10 |

I would like to have it only reply to arp on the primary eth0 unique IP, and not have it reply that eth0:1 10.10.10.1 even exists. this way the local port would be invisible to the network and I could leave them standard IP. If I change the IPs on one device eth0:1 to 10.10.10.2 it fixes it, but if I do this on all the devices nobody will know what the IP is to con | 15:16 |

| eric_ramirez | My laptop is running Debian Sarge and I don't know how to install Abobe s Flash Player, Can you help me Jack_Sparrow? | 15:19 |
| hwilde_ | danand, yeah that is definitely it. the network asks for the mac, and I guess ubuntu replies with both interfaces... but I can't figure out why if you ssh to machine1 eth0 you sometimes get to machine2 eth0 when they are on unique IPs... so I thought maybe I could make it not reply to arp on eth0:1 | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | eric_ramirez, Nope. see the debian channel | 15:19 |
| bazhang | #debian can help with that eric_ramirez | 15:19 |
| eric_ramirez | In freenode? | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes | 15:20 |
| bazhang | yes eric_ramirez | 15:20 |
| hwilde_ | eric_ramirez, /join #debian | 15:20 |
| bazhang | eric_ramirez: but beware ;] | 15:20 |
| rhineheart_m | hwilde_: I think your problem is not your machine.. but your router..(forwarding your request) | 15:20 |
| amenado | VM i suspect the install did not complete, so you may have to re-install..on next boot you can type ctrl+alt+F1 to see the boot up progress if it did install properly | 15:20 |

| jpatrick | eric_ramirez: because you use Debian? | 15:21 |
| danand | hwilde_ - definately strange behaviour.... good luck - got to go | 15:21 |
| rhineheart_m | hwilde_: I bet.. the better alternative.. change the port number for ssh in your machine2 so that your router will know where to forward your request | 15:21 |

| Aranel | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks, it works! :) | 15:21 |

| amenado | hwilde_-> i still honestly believe that having two interfaces with same ip address on a subnet causes a conflict. thats what I can think of at the moment | 15:39 |
| bazhang | to whom are you speaking Flow? best to prefix your questions with someone's nickname ;] | 15:39 |
| Flow | IDENTIFY Flow | 15:39 |
| Flow | OH lol | 15:39 |
| Flow | Bazhang: What was the command again? | 15:40 |
| differentreality | alumno10, and then? add the line /media/cdrom0 ? | 15:40 |
| hwilde_ | amenado, I agree but those 10.10.10.1 IPs are not on any subnet they are just local (atleast that is the intention). The subnet is 10.66.3.X | 15:40 |
| bod_ | karan, have you checked alsamixer? checked ur not muted anywhere,. if all else fails i believe there is a room for alsa probs | 15:40 |

| freepenguin | hello* | 15:42 |
| hwilde_ | amenado, yeah and btw I have this working at multiple other locations, so I agree it is something in the router. but I think if I can disable gratuitous arp on eth0:1 then it would be transparent to the network | 15:42 |
| devron6 | how's eveyone doing | 15:42 |
| differentreality | alumno10, hmmm i see :) is this the exact line i need to use? (supposing i have 7.10 version) ? | 15:42 |
| bazhang | nicely devron6 | 15:42 |
| freepenguin | I've a very hold notebook of friend of mine, and I must install it xubuntu | 15:43 |
| bod_ | hischild, there is a #ubuntu-classroom | 15:43 |
| alumno10 | yes it is | 15:43 |
| freepenguin | the notebook has 64 mb of ram | 15:43 |
| Flow | Bazhang: it's a VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01) | 15:43 |
| hischild | bod_, that's the one i was thinking off ... | 15:43 |
| karan | bod_, it is still in the muted state eventhough after changed into unmuted state | 15:43 |
| freepenguin | and 3.5 gb of hd | 15:43 |
| devron6 | freepeguin does it have a cdrom drive | 15:43 |
| freepenguin | do you think that, with an alternate cd of xubuntu, i can run and install it? | 15:43 |
| bazhang | freepenguin: xubuntu may not run too well on that | 15:43 |
| karan | once i press ESCAPE key,and lauch alsamixer in terminal | 15:43 |
| amenado | hwilde_-> yeah, i have to make note of your efforts for my reference | 15:44 |

| differentreality | alumno10, thank you very much :)) | 15:44 |
| kestir | hi, is it possible to copy a file numerous times? so that there are multiple copies of the same file? | 15:44 |
| Flow | Bazhang you there? | 15:44 |
| devron6 | i agre with bazhang | 15:44 |
| alumno10 | differentreality, u re welcome, your cpu is 32bits right? | 15:44 |
| devron6 | agree* | 15:44 |
| bazhang | devron6: for once we agree ;] | 15:44 |
| bod_ | hischild, might be worth rememberin that name, then tunnelling any major (noob) questions there | 15:44 |
| LjL | kestir: just use cp multiple times... | 15:44 |
| karan | this issue pertering for almost a day | 15:44 |
| amenado | kestir-> as long as you have the storage resource to keep them | 15:44 |
| hischild | bod_, yup ... | 15:44 |
| freepenguin | bazhang, must i renounce to install gnu/linux on this notebook? | 15:45 |
| bazhang | Flow: aye, just checking something hang on a sec | 15:45 |
| devron6 | bazhang I am sure we will agree on a bunch of things, expect me typing to much LOL | 15:45 |
| hischild | bod_, btw, you dont happen to know anything about dual core cpu's recognized as single cores right? | 15:45 |
| alumno10 | differentreality, if it is 64bit you need to change the line | 15:45 |
| kestir | LjL: so if i want to make 100 copies of a file i need to 'cp file' 100 times? | 15:45 |
| differentreality | alumno10, that would be correct.. but does it matter? because i need this info for a project i want to impement | 15:45 |
| freepenguin | (now it has windows 98) | 15:45 |
| differentreality | *implement | 15:45 |
| Flow | bazhang: jsut making sure Thank youfor tryign to help too. | 15:45 |
| kestir | amenado: I do...but is there a way to set a specific number of copies to make? | 15:45 |
| LjL | kestir: you can certainly script it | 15:45 |
| f0rmat | ebox just made me lose the internet connection i had to remove it :( | 15:45 |
| bazhang | freepenguin: no not so severe, perhaps fluxbuntu would suit that machine better though | 15:45 |
| LjL | kestir: for i in {1...10}; do cp <filename> <filename>$i; done | 15:46 |
| amenado | kestir-> its your script that determines how many times you like to repeat it, or how many times you type copy command | 15:46 |
| alumno10 | differentreality, sources.list cdrom lines are different in 32 or 64bit since cdroms have different labels | 15:46 |
| bod_ | hischild, i believe i heard something about ubuntu not handling 2 processors, it cant do it, but i think there are progs that fix it,.,. not really sure tbh,.,.but i no theres probs | 15:46 |
| amenado | kestir-> and hopefully you put it in different directories..not on same directory | 15:46 |
| differentreality | alumno10, oh.. i see.. do you know how i need to change the lines maybe ? | 15:46 |
| LjL | kestir: can i ask why you want to do that though? it seems like a strange thing to do... perhaps it's a problem that can better be solved another way? | 15:47 |
| hischild | bod_, ubuntu used to be able to recognize my cpu's without trouble ... it doesn't even see it now ... | 15:47 |
| hischild | bod_, the advantage is that it's extremely silent ... yet i'm missing that second cpu now :( | 15:47 |
| kestir | LjL: I want to fill a directory with data, wipe it, fill it, wipe it etc | 15:47 |
| hischild | bod_, oh wiat ... sorry misspelled | 15:47 |
| LjL | kestir, do you want to do that as a benchmark of something? | 15:47 |

| monzie | beerdeaap: no worried. I commented out everything in the file | 16:02 |
| amenado | zer0bit-> i suggested that book by Mark Sobell because he has been around writing nix books and guides, plus the latest is in-depth.. slightly pricey at 50 dollars though | 16:02 |
| beerdeaap | monzie: ok :) | 16:03 |
| bazhang | comp8: aha; I really am awful at Samba though some of the actual people with a brain here will know ;] | 16:03 |

| bazhang | Flow: in that case you should consider dual booting with windows until you are cured of those games or get more $$ to get a decent card; lots of folks do it and really the only reason ##windows is still around | 16:05 |
| bod_ | zer0bit, too right, actually you've come at a good time, uve got a few months to get used to it, then hardy is released in april | 16:06 |

| Sinnerman | there is a package that offers extended options for the 'permissions' tab in file properties, anyone know what it is? i've been trying to look for it, but no joy. | 16:17 |
| axz | hi ppl | 16:17 |
| devron6 | hi axz | 16:17 |
| Dante123 | OS works great once booted. This error only occurs when first booting up (usually in the morning) and it hangs on "Reading files needed for boot" or sumthin like that. Almost always a second reboot fixes it. I've had suggestions from bad power supply to hd to reinstall gnome-setting daemon. | 16:17 |
| Flow | -Looks at telephone- "Oh, how easy you were." Sudo get Telephone -Cannotaccess rang too far away. D: | 16:17 |
| axz | My ubuntu is auto logging off after browsing the inet.. any idea whats going on guys? | 16:18 |
| rhineheart_m | anybody has an idea how to add users in courier-imap without adding them into the system users? | 16:18 |
| axz | i installed it yesterday fresh install | 16:18 |
| Dante123 | Personally, I think it muyst be some bootup bug that happens from a cold start. | 16:18 |
| Yoha | Hello, somebody knows SFML ? | 16:18 |
| devron6 | dante123: check your ide/sata cable? if not reinstall ubuntu | 16:18 |
| axz | Dante123, how to fix that buddy? | 16:19 |
| thechef | bazhang: Okay. Can you also give a reason? Is there a setup included? I know iptables, but I hate to configure it on such a low level, because I could easily forget something. | 16:19 |
| amenado | axz-> all sites? or one particular site? maybe you can explain a lil bit more? | 16:19 |
| Yoha | I have a bug on lauching a program using OpenGL | 16:19 |
| legend2440 | Sinnerman: its called ubuntu tweak | 16:19 |
| bod_ | where can i find the large xchat icon used for awn? | 16:19 |
| Sinnerman | well, what the package does for the nautilus is on the permissions tab, it gives you a series of checkboxes instead of dropdown menus, and makes it easier to use. | 16:19 |
| Dante123 | not sure axz, got my own unsolvable problems right now tto | 16:19 |
| Sinnerman | legend2440 ah?! oh let me have a look. thanks. | 16:19 |
| axz | amenado, well dunno i installed it yesterday, just back frrom work and going on the inet it auto logs off | 16:19 |
| rhineheart_m | amenado: how to add usrs in courier-imap without adding them into the system users? | 16:20 |
| bazhang | thechef just kidding ;] debian is fine as well and there is a setup for ubuntu-server | 16:20 |
| amenado | thechef-> if you are familiar with iptables, thats adequate ..you know how to create rules and load it..dont forget the ip_forward settings though | 16:20 |
| Dante123 | devron6 how might that be the problem? I mean if it was....woudln't the error happen everytime you try to access hd | 16:20 |
| Sinnerman | legend2440 uh oh. i think i downloaded that, it wasn't in the repos. hah. | 16:20 |
| Sinnerman | no wonder i couldnt find it. | 16:20 |
| bod_ | is there an awn channel? | 16:21 |
| Dante123 | Once upon the hang and subsequent reboot.....I got the error about gnome settings daemon....someone suggested reinstalling that....but I don't know if the two problems are related. | 16:21 |
| devron6 | dante123: not exactly if it is slightly loose the hard drive simply turning could just move it just enough to cause a small problem and when you reboot it it has a clean connection again, it all depends | 16:21 |
| amenado | rhineheart_m-> is that a font? courier to me was the modem..sorry i have not used courier-imap yet | 16:21 |
| LjL | bod_: creatively, #awn | 16:21 |
| rCon | If anyone can help me, I would be delighted :) >> When I boot up Ubuntu my sound works sometimes, maybe 2 out of 5 times, how can I fix this..? | 16:21 |
| Pici | bod_: #awn seems to exist | 16:21 |
| bod_ | LjL, cheers ;~) | 16:21 |
| devron6 | dante123: it is def worth a try to reinstall gnome settings but it doubt that is it | 16:21 |
| bod_ | Pici, ^^ | 16:21 |
| Dante123 | okay, I will try disconnedting and reconnectin it | 16:21 |
| amenado | axz all the time? only browsed a web site and it auto logs you off? | 16:21 |
| devron6 | because reading boot files is on an entire diff init level | 16:21 |
| bazhang | Flow: unless you get a new mobo then no on the PCI-e | 16:21 |
| Odd-rationale | axz: Probably X crashed and restarted. | 16:21 |
| axz | well i was looking a flash video | 16:21 |
| rhineheart_m | amenado: nope.. m talking about courier-imap | 16:21 |
| axz | yes Odd-rationale i think so | 16:22 |
| Dante123 | does reinstalling gnome-settings involved lots of risk...? And what is the command for that? | 16:22 |
| amenado | rhineheart_m-> sorry am not familiar with that one yet. | 16:22 |
| rhineheart_m | amenado: np thanks anyway | 16:22 |
| Flow | bazhang: So then basicly convert back to the millions of drones and do away with linux and grap abnother cracked version of Windows XP untill Iget a betetr computer? | 16:22 |
| devron6 | dante123: I would not know the exact risk in that case maybe someone else could tell you better then I can when it comes to that app | 16:22 |
| axz | amenado, i was watching flash video and after i done watching it i switched to xchat and it auto logsoff | 16:22 |
| === fophillips_ is now known as fophillips | ||
| Flow | bazhang: Thanks for the help. I assure you I'll be back if I decied to stay with linux at a future time. Apreciate it alot. | 16:23 |
| amenado | axz is it frequently doing that or only one time? try again to see if its a pattern | 16:23 |
| Odd-rationale | axz: Maybe it is a problem with your video driver. Do you have a properly setup xorg.conf? (I'm just brainstorming here...) | 16:23 |
| Dante123 | Flow- what is the problem you are having? | 16:23 |
| axz | Odd-rationale, i did not touch xorg.conf | 16:24 |
| Sinnerman | legend2440 thanks very much. that did it. by the way, because they are only tweaks - where would i want to look, for example, to enable that 'advanced' permission sheet manually? | 16:24 |
| Dante123 | does anyone know the command to reinstall gnome settings daemon | 16:24 |
| devron6 | dante123: I am sure someone here knows exactly how to help you sometimes it just takes a little while :) | 16:24 |
| rhineheart_m | how to handle multiple domains in one shared wan IP? | 16:24 |
| Dante123 | does the fact that a warm reboot (or fairly warm as in turn off and turn right back on) fixes the problem give any clue as to the cause? | 16:25 |
| devron6 | okay dante123: so if it freezes and you do a simple reboot it does not fix the problem but if you turn the computer off and turn it back on it fixes it? | 16:25 |
| ringe | how do I change the "security device" password for epiphany? I forgot it. | 16:25 |

| komputes | bod_: just right click on xchat > properties > click the image and replace with another image | 16:27 |

| z3wb | hello | 16:28 |
| z3wb | i installed the ubuntu 7.10 command line only system | 16:28 |
| z3wb | and it didn't include the splash screen, which i kinda like | 16:28 |
| komputes | z3wb: server edition... | 16:28 |
| z3wb | is there a way to add the ubuntu splash screen to the command line version? | 16:29 |
| z3wb | this isn't the server edition | 16:29 |
| Dante123 | devron6 when i turn it on...pc goes to grub...let it load itself...the pc hangs at "Reading files needed to boot" or a similar message. Then I turn the pc off....turn back on.....click on the first entry for ubuntu in grub and it works everytime. | 16:29 |
| bod_ | komputes, tried, the image is still half the size of the others | 16:29 |
| bazhang | Flow no worries ;] | 16:29 |
| devron6 | dante123: that really sounds like a hardware issue - maybe ram | 16:29 |
| komputes | z3wb: you need to get all the packages needed for the usplash | 16:29 |
| devron6 | that is very wierd | 16:29 |
| komputes | bod_: have you tried scaling it with GIMP? | 16:30 |
| z3wb | so i just apt-get install usplash and that's it? | 16:30 |
| Dante123 | but only error on booting up. If it was ram wouldnt' i get freezed otehr times? | 16:30 |
| gj_schouten | Hey someone knows how to make my hp zd8000 laptop less noisy and less heating using ubuntu hardy???? suggestions for using APM instead of ACPI and maybe powersaved instead of apmd???? | 16:30 |
| komputes | z3wb: DOUBT IT | 16:30 |
| z3wb | komputes: you're not very good at giving advice | 16:31 |
| Pici | !hardy | gj_schouten | 16:31 |
| ubotu | gj_schouten: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 16:31 |
| bod_ | komputes, yer, i even scaled it to 1024 x 768 ,.,. no joy | 16:31 |
| komputes | z3wb: give me time, looking it up | 16:31 |
| Dante123 | I could run the memtest that come on ubuntu livecd to see what results I get. But personally, I don't think it is a hardware thing....I think it may be a booting bug....but I'm a newbie still | 16:31 |
| devron6 | dante123: no | 16:31 |
| devron6 | do this | 16:31 |
| devron6 | dante123: run memtest | 16:31 |
| Busata | hai, I was wondering if it would cause much troubles to install ubuntu on a usb harddrive(with the intention to boot from it) | 16:31 |
| Pici | z3wb: That *should* work, which Ubuntu image did you download? | 16:31 |
| devron6 | dunte123: normally a booting bug happends all the time | 16:31 |
| Gandalf84 | hi | 16:32 |
| komputes | Pici: he asks a question then he's gone. I had the solution too. | 16:32 |
| Pici | komputes: oh well. | 16:32 |
| Dante123 | unfortunately...memtest doesn't run from terminal on livecd says it is missing and needs to be installed....installation script didn;t work (apt get) | 16:33 |

| Gandalf84 | i'm trying to install a program that need opengl, which package i have to install for opengl? | 16:33 |

| Dante123 | just kidding...:-D | 16:35 |
| devron6 | dante123: lol | 16:35 |
| zossso | raiderxx: another way... Applications->Add/Remove then do a search | 16:35 |
| Sinnerman | legend2440 yeah, because it took me a while trying to figure out what i had installed that gave me the new options. wouldn't have got it without you though. that's the thing. i'd been poring over dpkg logs without much success. ha. | 16:35 |
| devron6 | pici: he was messing around have a sence of humor eh? :) | 16:35 |
| Dante123 | Humour often is seeing how close you can come to the line without "technically" going over. Like W.C. Fields- he would use 'There's an Ethiopian in the fuel supply" to cloak an otherwise inappropriate comment. Comment is still bad...but there is some humor in the way he got past the censors. | 16:37 |
| raiderxx | zossso, thank you | 16:37 |
| z3wb | i rebooted real quick to see if it worked | 16:37 |
| zossso | raiderxx: sure | 16:37 |
| z3wb | it didnt | 16:37 |

| macogw | mrpockets_: try "sudo dhclient" wired unplugged and see if you get an offer | 18:36 |
| hwilde_ | mrpockets_, the first iwconfig command sets the ssid and the key, the dhclient grabs dhcp address | 18:36 |

| hwilde_ | rabiddachshund, set the default in menu.list | 18:46 |
| mrpockets_ | then try again? | 18:46 |
| hwilde_ | __mikem, ok it's not really recognizing your webcam then if it's not creating the symlink | 18:46 |
| sipior | bella: next time you're booted into linux, check the file /etc/apt/sources.list and ensure that all references to network servers are commented out, and that the cd source is uncommented. | 18:46 |
| hwilde_ | mrpockets_, pastebin your iwconfig now | 18:46 |
| __mikem | hwilde_, I have to go right now. I have a class | 18:47 |
| hwilde_ | mrpockets_, you're looking for it to say ESSID: "default" and Associated | 18:47 |

| HoboBen | Hi all - I've got a FAT32 external HD which I think badly needs defragging - can I do this from Ubuntu? I would reformat it to a better file system except that I don't have enough room to store the files on my internal hard drive. | 19:02 |
| wobblywu | mooboo1, go to pidgin.im, download the source (it' s a .tar.bz2) | 19:03 |

| mooboo1 | i dont do source | 19:03 |
| osotogari | ssh: ip:port: Name or service not known <- error message | 19:03 |
| wobblywu | mooboo1, unzip the source, as it' s an archive, to any folder and then open a gnome-terminal and cd /home/yourname/name/of/folder/ | 19:03 |
| wobblywu | mooboo1, then type ./configure, wait for it to finish. type make, wait for it to finish. type sudo make install, wait for it to finish | 19:04 |
| wobblywu | mooboo1, and then you're done | 19:04 |

| Pici | a1fa: There is none. | 19:21 |
| a1fa | why not? | 19:21 |
| Pici | a1fa: Because Ubuntu does not have a rolling release like Debian does. | 19:22 |
| Parsec300 | Check your visual effects settings. If all is off, then you don't have it on, if the bullet is set on any other settings, then you are using Compiz. This can greatly reduce OpenGL/Video playback performance. | 19:22 |

| iratiku | Is there a web interface for the ip-tables(netfilter) firewall? | 19:31 |
| sirius-black | but itś buggy | 19:31 |
| kjnox | im on simply mepis live cd rite now | 19:32 |
| kjnox | linux seems to be a bit complicated | 19:32 |
| kjnox | or im wrong? | 19:32 |
| mee72 | kjnox: try slackware | 19:33 |
| === dAndy_ is now known as dAndy | ||
| ^David | ok guys i figured out why i couldn't partition | 19:34 |
| ^David | i had to defrag my windows | 19:34 |
| kjnox | oh ok, ive already downloaded ubuntu but ok ill try slackware | 19:34 |
| ^David | but now ubuntu can't find my video drivers | 19:34 |
| Parsec300 | HoboBen: Ok. And still slow then? It could be lot's of things that are beyond my knowledge. But it is the same computer you used to run it on in Windows? Perhaps the drivers for your card are not as good as you expect them to be. If you have nVidia or Ati or Intel cards, driver support generally is quite good these days. | 19:34 |
| ^David | and ideas? | 19:34 |
| deniz__ | kjnox, ubuntu is best | 19:34 |
| Ergo^ | hello, after having a fresh install of ubuntu | 19:34 |
| Ergo^ | i should install firewall by hand ? | 19:35 |
| macrobad | kjnox: Well, no surprise it would look so for a person who is used to Windows. However, if you are persistent, you will understand that you were wrong quite soon. | 19:35 |
| danand | iratiku - if you want a gui for firewall config try firestarter (v simple but good enough for most), either that or browse to www.fwbuilder.org, www.shorewall.net for something a bit more complex | 19:35 |
| HoboBen | Parsec300 - Sorry, I think you have the wrong person here. Ubuntu is fast as anything, I've just got a fraggy external :-) | 19:35 |
| iratiku | danand: thanks | 19:35 |
| kjnox | i hope so, cuz i think win vista is the worth OS ever made | 19:36 |
| macrobad | kjnox: no offense to slackware users, but for a novice, it would be more difficult then Ubuntu | 19:36 |
| Parsec300 | HoboBen: Indeed, I mixed it up. | 19:36 |
| danand | kjnox - you'll probably find slackware alot less user friendly than ubuntu | 19:36 |
| danand | iratiku - np | 19:36 |
| HoboBen | Parsec300 no worries. Thanks anyway ;-) | 19:36 |
| rrva | hello. I dist-upgraded to hardy and now I get "Cannot find your gnome environment. Contact your system administrator" upon login with nomachine/nxclient | 19:36 |
| Ergo^ | hey, after fresh install of ubuntu - should i install some firewall software on it ? | 19:36 |
| === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik | ||
| ^David | yeah i would say so Ergo^ | 19:37 |
| sammy | `/quit | 19:37 |
| DonaldShimoda | rrva: you have troubles my friend! | 19:37 |
| Parsec300 | kjnox: I own two Apple computers running OSX Leopard and even I am very enthusiastic about Ubuntu Linux! | 19:37 |
| Ergo^ | just out of curiousity - why isnt there any firewall installed ? | 19:37 |
| macrobad | kjnox: imho, Fedora, SUSE or Mandriva could be alternatives to Ubuntu | 19:37 |
| genii | Who was it looking for a fat32/vfat defrag method from linux? A dirty way is to resize slightly the fat32 partition from gparted, when it shuffles the data on there it's the equivelent. | 19:37 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: there is no antivirus as well ;) | 19:38 |
| Parsec300 | genii: it was HoboBen looking for it. | 19:38 |
| kjnox | nah i already saw ubuntu time ago and ive liked it rly much | 19:38 |
| danand | kjnox - there are other distro's out there though that you may prefer - most have a live cd, so you can run that first to see how you find it. try Suse, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS, etc | 19:38 |
| kjnox | but i dunno how to work with it | 19:38 |
| genii | Parsec300: Thanks | 19:38 |
| HoboBen | genii - wow, top tip! Thanks! | 19:38 |
| Ergo^ | macrobad: but virues is not an issue i think :-) | 19:38 |
| genii | HoboBen: np | 19:38 |
| Ergo^ | is it so secure by default that there is no need to install fw ? | 19:39 |
| ^David | guys after i defragged my windows install ubuntu can't find my video drivers when i boot from cd....... help please | 19:39 |
| kjnox | danad im running under simplyMEPIS rite now | 19:39 |
| ^David | i've tried entering them manualy but it just freezes when i reboot it | 19:39 |
| raiderxx | COuld someone help with my problem: I can't use my scroller on my bluetooth mouse? | 19:39 |
| iratiku | Does firestarter have an interface for the shell? | 19:39 |
| swatTX | Hello! Anyone install XBMC? I'm having so video playback problems. | 19:39 |
| danand | kjnox - if your willing to invest a bit of time in learning the rewards are worth it. It's like anything new... once you've used it a bit it no longer seems so hard to use | 19:39 |
| iratiku | I hate having a desktop environment on a firewall.... all those resources!... there are no web interface solutions for iptables/netfilter | 19:40 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: are hackers an issue for you? ^^ Fw protects opened ports on your machine. Default installation of Ubuntu either has none, or just a couple. | 19:40 |
| rrva | iratiku: i like vurmuur for iptables management | 19:40 |
| l815 | should I enable the hdparm service on my laptop? | 19:40 |
| rrva | iratiku: has a ncurses-like interface | 19:41 |
| danand | kjnox - Mepis is good too - but in my opinion not quite as good as ubuntu :) | 19:41 |
| kjnox | ok im going to learn how to install apps | 19:41 |
| kjnox | lol never tought ill tell this frase | 19:41 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: go to System->Administration->Network Tools, choose Netstat folder and view Active Network Services | 19:41 |
| rrva | iratiku: http://www.vuurmuur.org/trac | 19:41 |
| Parsec300 | kjnox, for most apps, it is quite simple. | 19:41 |
| l815 | i really hope the improve the batter options on the next release | 19:41 |
| macrobad | Default installation of Windows has a lot of open ports, e.g. NetBeui | 19:42 |
| kjnox | with the Kpackage or stuff like tht? | 19:42 |
| danand | kjnox - if your using mepis that is based on debian and uses apt for its packaging system. apt is probably the best package manager out there. it makes stuff _Very_ easy to install | 19:42 |
| l815 | how do you install a .run file? | 19:42 |
| rrva | l815: file file.run | 19:43 |
| XceII | I just put a new video card in my machine, geforce 7200 gs, my machine wont boot. | 19:43 |
| rrva | l815: does it say ELF binary? | 19:43 |
| swatTX | hello everyone! I'm having problems with video playback in xbmc, there is always a green tint. Any ideas on how to remedy this? | 19:43 |
| l815 | rrva, not done downloading, but it's World of Padman | 19:43 |
| kjnox | but how do i install an app without tht? | 19:43 |
| l815 | rrva, how would i uninstall it then? | 19:43 |
| Parsec300 | kjnox: You can use the add/remove software option in the menu and use the 'apt-get' command in a terminal window. | 19:43 |
| kjnox | kk ty | 19:44 |
| Parsec300 | Also a .deb package would work. | 19:44 |
| rrva | l815: file <filename> will guess what it is, and if it's a ELF binary, just chmod a+x and type ./filename | 19:44 |
| Parsec300 | How do you install a .package file? | 19:44 |
| scragar | you know how hardy has the encrypt option in nautilus is there a way to get that on gutsy? | 19:44 |
| alumno10 | im so going from here | 19:44 |
| rrva | l815: could also be a shell script. "file" will tell you | 19:44 |
| alumno10 | but so | 19:44 |
| danand | Parsec300 - think kjnox is running mepis at the mo - we're gonna have to convert to ubuntu | 19:44 |
| alumno10 | SO going from here | 19:44 |
| l815 | rrva, okay thanks. it just said worldofmapdman.run when i downloaded it. so I assume it's just a .run lol | 19:45 |
| kjnox | ok guys ill install win XP + ubunti | 19:45 |
| halo | hello, i0ve a problem with an lcd monitor | 19:45 |
| Ergo^ | macrobad: i have quite some ports listed :/ | 19:45 |
| XceII | I just put a new video card in my machine, geforce 7200 gs, my machine wont boot. | 19:45 |
| Parsec300 | danand: I agree. | 19:45 |
| scragar | l815: proberly just a bash or bin file, run it from a terminal | 19:45 |
| halo | it flicker but i don't understand why | 19:45 |
| l815 | scragar, okay ty | 19:46 |
| ^David | if i manualy put in the drivers in safe mode what should i name it as? | 19:46 |
| === nevermore_ is now known as nevermore | ||
| halo | (sorry for my bad english) | 19:46 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: If they are listed against 127.*.*.* then only you can see them, | 19:46 |
| scragar | l815: may be necessary to "chmod +x worldofmapdman.run" it first to make it executable | 19:46 |
| danand | kjnox - :) cool - make sure you read the guides on installing first | 19:46 |
| danand | !install | kjnox | 19:46 |
| halo | i've tried the settings from asus but nothing to do | 19:46 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: How many is left? | 19:46 |
| Parsec300 | kjnox: Good for you. Give it a good chance, you will like it! And if you run into trouble, you've already found a wealth of Linux knowledge right here. | 19:46 |
| rohan_ | will sun java in ubuntu hardy be updated to 6u5? it's currently at 6u4 | 19:46 |
| kjnox | ya Xchat <3 | 19:47 |
| halo | it's an asus vw193s with the latest nvidia driver | 19:47 |
| Ergo^ | macrobad: im not sure i understand the question ? | 19:47 |
| l815 | everytime i launch a program from the panel my screen glitches ;( | 19:48 |
| rrva | rohan_: installing java yourself isn't that hard, if that solves your problem. I saw a tutorial to convert any sun java installation to a .deb somewhere | 19:48 |
| Captain_Haddock | Hi, I'm looking to purchase a laptop (incidentally, my first one) and am looking for something that will work well with ubuntu / kubuntu. I would appreciate any advice on how best to choose one. | 19:48 |
| kjnox | how do i use my webcam with gaim? | 19:48 |
| Captain_Haddock | I'd obviously not like to pay for a copy of Windows Vista while doing so either. | 19:49 |
| arakthor | what's the command to display the last n lines of a file? | 19:49 |
| Captain_Haddock | arakthor: tail I think | 19:49 |
| l815 | scragar, it's a POSIX shell script | 19:49 |
| rrva | arakthor: tail -[n] file | 19:49 |
| danand | Where is ubotu? | 19:49 |
| arakthor | ah yeh, thank you Captain_Haddock | 19:49 |
| kjnox | Captain_Haddock, u can download vista by bittorrent and use the paradox crack | 19:49 |
| Captain_Haddock | kjnox: um I don't want vista | 19:49 |
| kjnox | but vista sux too much | 19:49 |
| kjnox | dun use it | 19:50 |
| Captain_Haddock | I don't want to pay for it either | 19:50 |
| l815 | i just went back to my vista on dual boot to see how the dust collects, and it seems more sluggish than before haha | 19:50 |
| Captain_Haddock | and I want a laptop that will run well under kubuntu | 19:50 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: Look at IP Source field. If you see 127.0.0.1 or ::1, it means that the ports in these lines are not visible to anyone but you. All the 127.*.*.* addresses are normally seen by their owner, and are not advertised to network. | 19:50 |
| kjnox | ya ppl vista sux too hard | 19:50 |
| l815 | what are some signs that ubuntu isn't running well on laptop ? (meaning something isn't working right) | 19:50 |
| raiderxx | Can someone tell me how I can add compiz to the startup? | 19:51 |
| Captain_Haddock | l815: I am primarily looking to avoid driver issues | 19:51 |
| l815 | Captain_Haddock, so am I, but it's kind of hard to tell if the drivers I have are working *properly as opposed to just working | 19:51 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: So, how many open ports are there, if we don't count those with the mentioned IP Sources? | 19:52 |
| Captain_Haddock | but the windows vista point is also important to me as I don't want to support M$ | 19:52 |
| Devan | Captain_Haddock: Dell makes computers that come pre-installed with Ubuntu, last I checked. I, personally, do not like Dell, but I'm not going to say don't get it just because of my opinions. | 19:52 |
| l815 | the only things that seem to be of trouble are the battery/power options, brightness control, and hibernation | 19:52 |
| Devan | There's more than likely others who offer Ubuntu pre-installed, too. | 19:52 |
| kjnox | ya MS ftl, became biggest software corp. by selling shit | 19:52 |
| l815 | rrva, it's a POSIX shell script, how do I execute it exactly? | 19:53 |
| Pici | !language | kjnox | 19:53 |
| Captain_Haddock | Devan: I actually called Dell and they don't offer it on their laptops here except on one of their precision models which is ~USD3k | 19:53 |
| linker2u | CTCP linker2u VERSION | 19:53 |
| kjnox | ok sry | 19:53 |
| danand | Captain_Haddock - check out http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/ and http://tuxmobil.org/ | 19:53 |
| Captain_Haddock | danand: cheers! | 19:53 |
| swatTX | any XBMC on linux users? | 19:54 |
| zimon | Captain_Haddock: you can order dell laptops with windows xp instead of vista, that's a bit cheaper (50 € less in europe) | 19:54 |
| ubotu | kjnox: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 19:54 |
| bootlaces | Hey there! I've got an rsync question about filters - anyone up to help me? | 19:54 |
| Captain_Haddock | zimon: thanks | 19:54 |
| kjnox | ive already told sry, sry again anyway | 19:55 |
| danand | Captain_Haddock - also check out Ubuntu's home page - pretty sure they give a list of certified hardware that ubuntu runs on inc the Toshiba Satellite U300 - which imo is a v nice maching | 19:55 |
| Captain_Haddock | Acer also looks promising in that they don't pander to Microsoft | 19:55 |
| l815 | haha i wish i new i'd go to ubuntu before i bought my laptop T_T | 19:55 |
| Ergo^ | macrobad: i have 23 ports that are ip source 0.0.0.0 - those listen to everything yes ? | 19:55 |
| l815 | is HDPARM a good server to run on a laptop? | 19:56 |
| danand | Captain_Haddock - see http://webapps.ubuntu.com/certification/ | 19:56 |
| Captain_Haddock | danand: Thanks. No HD-DVD drive I hope :) | 19:56 |
| halo | no one can help me? | 19:56 |
| danand | Captain_Haddock - :) | 19:57 |
| Ergo^ | i guess some are samba 139 , 80, 3 or 4 are probably amule - but the rest ? i dont know ;] | 19:57 |
| Captain_Haddock | danand: that is very helpful - thanks. Most of the sites I've been checking out are dated. This looks promising. | 19:57 |

| Captain_Haddock | :( | 20:01 |
| fabio | the cpu sleeping all the time | 20:01 |
| taime1 | does anyone know how to change the gtk theme that GDM uses??? | 20:02 |
| Captain_Haddock | I'm told that "mobile" processors lend longer life | 20:02 |
| halo | gdmsetup | 20:02 |
| fabio | get on a p4 (main cause in global warming) and u will c | 20:02 |
| simplexio | taime1: ssystem-> admin-login | 20:02 |
| hwilde_ | is there a thunderbird support channel somewhere? mine keeps crashing | 20:02 |
| taime1 | gdmsetup does not do this | 20:02 |

| ailean | guys, i'm looking for a program that i can use to size pipes etc. Basically a spreadsheet that is in diagram form rather than in sheet form. | 20:02 |
| Captain_Haddock | But I'm not sure if these core2duos are power friendly or not | 20:02 |
| fabio | gdmsetup | 20:02 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: let me figure out the right command | 20:03 |
| fabio | if u got some theme of course | 20:03 |
| Captain_Haddock | ailean: size pipes? | 20:03 |
| fabio | yes they are | 20:03 |
| Captain_Haddock | fabio: that's for me? | 20:03 |
| fabio | far more than amd | 20:03 |
| Captain_Haddock | right | 20:03 |
| ailean | Captain_Haddock, to size anything really | 20:03 |
| l815 | so anyone know about the hdparm service? | 20:03 |
| fabio | i'm talking urbi et orbi | 20:04 |
| taime1 | does anyone have a real answer in regards to changing the gtk theme that gdm uses? | 20:04 |
| l815 | taime1, does it look like win 98? | 20:04 |
| Captain_Haddock | ailean: I'm not sure I understand your question. | 20:04 |
| fabio | i use it to set dmaon my ide disk | 20:04 |
| Captain_Haddock | you want to measure something on the screen? | 20:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | taime1, Easy enough to change a gdm theme.. | 20:04 |
| taime1 | l815: no, it uses the human theme which is ugly | 20:05 |
| l815 | Jack is here to save the day | 20:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Hi Guys, just got back | 20:05 |
| l815 | l815, go to System > Preferences > Appearance | 20:05 |
| taime1 | Jack_Sparrow: i have edited gdm.conf, and still cannot get it to stop using that ugly orange color | 20:05 |
| l815 | *taime1 lol | 20:05 |
| Jack_Sparrow | taime1, there are gdm themes and gtk themes and emerald themes | 20:05 |
| taime1 | Jack_Sparrow: i clearly posted "gtk theme" | 20:05 |
| ailean | Captain_Haddock, well I know the maths that i need but I want to model for example a heating circuit. I want to be able to draw out the diagram, with mathematical relationships between points on it. Then if things change, I can alter it easily. | 20:06 |
| l815 | taime1, gtk themes here http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100 | 20:06 |
| danand | !themes | taime1 | 20:06 |
| ubotu | taime1: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 20:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | taime1, First adjust the attitude.. you said gtk theme that gdm uses which is not correct. | 20:06 |
| Captain_Haddock | ailean: ah, maybe dia will help? | 20:06 |
| ailean | dia is a diagram editor yeah? | 20:07 |
| fabio | !info gdm-themes | 20:07 |

| taime1 | gdm DOES use a gtk theme, Jack_Sparrow .. such as when you click on a user name, and the background color when you log in.. also when you click on any of the service buttons | 20:07 |
| taime1 | its the human theme | 20:07 |
| taime1 | and all i want to do is change that | 20:07 |
| Ax-Ax | Is Kopete's MSN-code newer than Pidgin's? | 20:07 |

| l815 | ubotu, thanks for those theme links :D | 20:07 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: I don't know why it doesn't work for me, but 'lsof -i' should show you all open connections. Note, however, that it will show you unix sockets too, and you would need to do sth like 'lsof -i | grep -v unix' | 20:08 |
| Captain_Haddock | ailean: never used it. But it's a bit like Visio | 20:08 |
| ailean | Captain_Haddock, thanks i'll check it out | 20:08 |
| l815 | so anyone know if i should turn on the HDPARM service on a laptop? | 20:08 |
| Captain_Haddock | ailean: Dia is roughly inspired by the commercial Windows program 'Visio', though more geared towards informal diagrams for casual use. It can be used to draw many different kinds of diagrams. It currently has special objects to help draw entity relationship diagrams, UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and many other diagrams. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of SVG to draw the | 20:08 |
| Captain_Haddock | shape. | 20:08 |

| Jack_Sparrow | taime1, Personally, I used drag and drop of a tar gdm theme onto the gdm login window manager for the main login theme/screen | 20:11 |
| danand | l815 - look at man hdparm | 20:11 |
| rd | server saturno.irc-hispachat.org | 20:11 |
| danand | l815 - hdparm is command line utility too. | 20:11 |

| taime1 | Jack_Sparrow: heh... still didnt get what i said.. im not trying to sound rude... my question is not about the gdm theme.. but the gtk theme behind it. | 20:11 |
| fabio | l815, depending on you r hardware it can be very useful | 20:11 |
| vlt | !repeat | mad_max02 | 20:11 |
| ubotu | mad_max02: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 20:11 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: as you can see, amule has opened a lot of connections, pidgin as well... But that is not all! =) Try running 'sudo lsof -i' and then you will be presented *all* opened connections. | 20:12 |
| l815 | can i just enable it and leave it on to do it's thing? or does it require some configuration? | 20:12 |

| gnu | Captain_Haddock: wow, that is nice, but where can i check the list of hardware that i have to see if it's detected.?:) | 20:15 |
| geirha | sp1227: did you install grub on the internal disk or the external one? | 20:16 |
| danand | gnu - look at the output of lspci and lshw to tell what hardware is detected by ubuntu. for your net card also run ifconfig to see what interfaces you have available | 20:16 |
| l815 | gnu, System> Preferences > Hardware Information | 20:16 |
| sp1227 | on the internal drive by accident | 20:16 |
| Captain_Haddock | gnu: I'm not a gnome user, so I'm not sure where exactly. But on the command line, you could try something like ifconfig ti list the cards. | 20:16 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: my output is here http://paste2.org/p/15156 | 20:16 |
| Captain_Haddock | There is probably a GUI option though that does this.. | 20:16 |
| HoboBen | gnu - either as l815 said, or hal-device-manager | 20:16 |
| vlt | sp1227: GRUB in your internal hd's mbr wants to load the menu from your ubuntu partition. | 20:16 |
| Captain_Haddock | ah, listen to l815 | 20:16 |
| Captain_Haddock | :) | 20:17 |
| HoboBen | (same thing, two ways to get there) | 20:17 |
| l815 | :) | 20:17 |
| Ergo^ | macrobad: but the question is is everything ok with my system based on that screenshot ? ;D | 20:17 |
| sp1227 | i realize that, but how can i correct that? is it possible to move grub to the external drive? | 20:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sp1227, One possibility might be to add a small linux boot sctor to your internal drive that will allow you to access windows when the external drive is not detected.. | 20:17 |
| gnu | thank you guys, already founded hardware-information, and also gonna try the commands right away | 20:18 |
| l815 | anyone have the link to the improvements that are coming with Hardy? | 20:18 |
| halo | how to find the modeline to put inside xorg.conf? | 20:18 |

| vlt | sp1227: Yes, restore the win mbr, instal grub to the external hd and tell bios to boot from external first (if plugged in) | 20:18 |
| sp1227 | so create an partition on the internal drive and install grub there? | 20:18 |

| l815 | Seerl, not sure about that, but i know it's the one of the top itune alternatives | 20:19 |

| l815 | i always wonder why mac doesnt get as much beef as windows | 20:21 |
| vlt | sp1227: There should be a restore console when booting fron win cd. The tool you have to run is `fixmbr` | 20:21 |
| l815 | they are more proprietary than windows is T-T | 20:21 |
| macrobad | Ergo^: The screenshot doesn't show all the connections, since you need to prepend sudo to get all of them, but from what I see your 27 connections are made by amule, pidgin, firefox, wine and steam, and there are *no* suspicious ones (if you are indeed running all this programs) | 20:21 |
| sp1227 | i think i'll try the new partition method first, i haven't set up a restore point in an loooong time and i ddin't get a win cd with this laptop | 20:21 |

| xarquid | hischild: So tunneling through SSH can't really handle ALL traffic...I think there is some software that uses SSH encryption (like blowfish) that uses the libraries to achieve the same thing...but VPN software is what does what you are referring to, I guess (forwarding ALL traffic...). That's why it is slower and most prefer SSH tunneling, because it just forwards one specific port or specified port ranges instead of -all- traffic. | 20:44 |
| fbc | vlt: I will try that thanks.. | 20:44 |
| amenado | fbc-> via xinetd try to use that | 20:44 |
| xarquid | hischild: Now that is definitely something more suitable for ssh. Single ports or port ranges are good for ssh :) | 20:44 |
| fbc | brb | 20:44 |
| Eicca | Does anyone know the "config" file for login screen? Like where I could remove elements from the login screen. | 20:45 |
| xarquid | hischild: VPN is better for ALL traffic...but it's slow...SSH tunneling is made for port forwarding and encrypted tunnels between locations. | 20:45 |
| joaquin | list | 20:45 |
| vlt | xarquid: Why is VPN slow? | 20:45 |
| gralco | okay so i have emerald theme manager | 20:45 |
| xarquid | vlt: Depends on network and connection and what you are doing. It was a general statement. | 20:46 |
| gralco | now how to i import the theme | 20:46 |
| d0tk0m | hi all | 20:46 |
| l815 | Eicca, not sure it's what you need, but go to System > Preferences > Login Window | 20:46 |
| hischild | xarquid, it doesnt have to forward all traffic ... for the love of god, please not (there's some srs downloading being done on his end) ... but i can, instead of just a single port, specify a range? | 20:46 |
| xarquid | vlt: It is SLOWER than SSH tunneling on single ports. (VPN compared to SSH tunneling...). | 20:46 |
| joeamined | hi | 20:46 |
| joeamined | is there a table of contents plugins in abiword ? | 20:46 |
| l815 | ah is there a fix for the font rendering problems with Open Office? | 20:46 |
| xarquid | vlt: Unless you use VPN for just specified ports, then it is essentially the same thing. Most people use VPN and use it to forward all ports and all traffic through it which essentially a waste of bandwidth for both parties... | 20:46 |
| Cann0n | so, whats up with ubuntu network device passwords. i have to be root just to use wireshark | 20:47 |
| vlt | xarquid: really? Thought it depends on the encryption used? | 20:47 |
| Photocopy | !customization | 20:47 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about customization - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 20:47 |
| xarquid | vlt: It can depend on encryption. It depends on a lot of factors ;p | 20:47 |
| Photocopy | Is there a channel for theming or customization | 20:47 |
| Starnestommy | Cann0n: it's to keep unpriviliged users from messing up the system | 20:47 |
| vlt | xarquid: Ok, got it. | 20:47 |
| xarquid | hischild: yes, you can specify a port range | 20:47 |
| l815 | !channels | 20:48 |
| bod_ | Photocopy, customization of what? | 20:48 |
| ubotu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 20:48 |
| ailean | guys, does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for a diagram spreadsheet - i.e. where i can draw out a diagram and relate the contents of each both to a mathematical formula and link them together in some way | 20:48 |
| Photocopy | bod_ like theming... | 20:48 |
| xarquid | hischild: I.E. 6000 > 6010 or as you said that would work as well. So yes. | 20:48 |
| hischild | xarquid, then that's exactly what i need ... tnx :-) I'll probably come around with more questions, but for now ... thanks! | 20:48 |
| bod_ | Photocopy, themeing gnome? | 20:48 |
| l815 | ailean, like Visio type style? | 20:48 |
| Photocopy | bod_; My desktop... yes | 20:48 |
| xarquid | hischild: Sorry for delving into VPN, I got off topic with another question ;p Have a good one. | 20:48 |
| phoenixz | With what application can I open microsoft project files? | 20:48 |
| Cann0n | Starnestommy, thats lame. if there a way to kill that? | 20:49 |
| l815 | phoenixz, Open Office | 20:49 |
| hischild | xarquid, no problem. vpn is a bit to slow for what i'm trying to achieve here (forward game traffic without creating a huge delay) | 20:49 |
| l815 | phoenixz, wait not sure about project | 20:49 |
| l815 | T-T | 20:49 |
| ailean | l815, yeah, i think so | 20:49 |
| xarquid | hischild: Then SSH tunneling/forwarding is perfect :-) | 20:49 |
| bod_ | Photocopy, dunno, for compiz effects go to #compiz-fusion apart from that, i'm not sure | 20:49 |
| l815 | ailean, open office draw you can do visio type things | 20:49 |
| Starnestommy | Cann0n: there are some ways, but it's strongly recommended that you just keep the current setup. | 20:49 |
| DASPRiD | iter, ^^ | 20:50 |
| Photocopy | bod_: Nah, i am fine with compiz... Can you help me out then? | 20:50 |
| ailean | l815, thanks | 20:50 |
| DASPRiD | shred is running for 8 hours now, and i bet it will take more than 2 more days ;) | 20:50 |
| l815 | ailean, yw | 20:50 |
| bod_ | Photocopy, only if you pm me. Its notn really a tech support prob | 20:50 |
| Cann0n | Starnestommy, yeah but im not a beginner with linux. i've been using slackware for 6 years | 20:50 |
| Cann0n | just im new to ubuntu | 20:50 |
| hischild | xarquid, yeah =) trying it out now | 20:50 |
| Cann0n | which noobified me. :( | 20:50 |
| bod_ | haha | 20:51 |
| hischild | Cann0n, you ran into trouble? | 20:51 |
| hischild | bod_, don't say it ... not yet | 20:51 |
| bod_ | hischild, say what? | 20:51 |
| Cann0n | no, just wondering why ubuntu is so protective | 20:51 |
| l815 | ailean, you might have to install the open office from the website as opposed to the one that comes with ubuntu | 20:51 |
| hischild | Cann0n, so it can't be broken by accident :-) | 20:51 |
| hischild | bod_, the channelname :p | 20:51 |
| phoenixz | l815> Okay, I'll give it a try.. thanks! | 20:51 |
| bod_ | hischild, #ubuntu-classroom | 20:52 |
| hischild | bod_, you had 2 do it didnt you ... | 20:52 |
| ailean | l815, i use windows at work so i'm gonna have to do that anyway | 20:52 |
| bod_ | hahaha ;~) | 20:52 |
| l815 | phoenixz, np, if it doesn't work, type in "project" or "documents" in add/remove and search for something that will open that type of file | 20:52 |
| erle- | is there any firefox 3 beta package for gutsy amd64? | 20:52 |
| Cann0n | yeah i know, but i have to config all my network tools just so eth1 shows up in the device lists... wasnt sure if there was a super easy feature to shut that off or not... | 20:52 |
| l815 | ailean, alright, the ubuntu version of open office doesn't include draw | 20:53 |
| Cann0n | its too user-friendly for me i guess. lol | 20:53 |
| ailean | l815, cheers | 20:53 |
| bod_ | Cann0n, its "Linux for human beings" instead of "linux for programmers" | 20:53 |
| Sunderland2006 | has anyone here got a login to britanica? | 20:54 |
| l815 | ailean, actually i'm sorry. If you go to Open Office Word Processor, and go to New > Drawing it works | 20:54 |
| ailean | l815, yeah i found it :D | 20:54 |
| l815 | ailean, :) sorry about that mis-information :P | 20:54 |
| Sunderland2006 | has anyone here got a login to britanica? | 20:54 |
| ailean | l815, no bother :D | 20:55 |
| bod_ | !repeat | Sunderland2006 | 20:55 |
| ubotu | Sunderland2006: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 20:55 |
| l815 | ailean, okay enjoy yourself :) | 20:55 |
| gralco | how do i import themes and make them work | 20:55 |
| m_tadeu | hi...apport-qt is not working here....does anyone know why? | 20:55 |
| Neoteric | so am I to understand that ubuntu can only do ext3 for the root partition and that the installer itself will fail if you try xfs for /? | 20:55 |
| Sunderland2006 | bod_ sorry | 20:55 |
| MurielGodoi | Hi all, anyone got "1164:0601 YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd" HP Analog TV Tuner working under ubuntu? | 20:55 |
| hischild | Neoteric, it will succeed, it will install lilo as bootloader instead of grub | 20:55 |
| Neoteric | hischild: hot hot hot :) | 20:55 |
| l815 | gralco, Open up System > Preferences > Appearance, then drag the folder with the theme over that window | 20:56 |
| carrera | hi | 20:56 |
| l815 | hey there :P | 20:56 |
| Cann0n | bod_, yeah, i guess. but still... that doesnt mean they shouldn't develop a small check box during installation asking if you are a beginner or advanced... | 20:56 |
| bod_ | Cann0n, perhaps you should suggest it to the developement team | 20:56 |
| carrera | i've two WD 200 GB drives in a RAID 0 config, Fedora has recognized my set up since F6 but Ubuntu shows 2 separate drives | 20:57 |
| l815 | once they fix the battery options, and hibernation issues then i'll be overly excited :) | 20:57 |
| Cann0n | bod_, i guess i should. | 20:57 |
| bod_ | Cann0n, ;~) | 20:57 |
| drc | Cann0n, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ | 20:57 |
| hischild | how can i check for all connections currently open, including those connected via ssh and the connections they made? | 20:58 |
| carrera | i've two WD 200 GB drives in a RAID 0 config, but Ubuntu shows 2 separate drives, can anyone tell me why? | 20:58 |
| l815 | is there a way to disable those box effects when minimizing ? | 20:58 |
| cyberkeks | HELLO | 21:00 |
| cyberkeks | oh sorry | 21:00 |
| cyberkeks | hello ^^ | 21:00 |
| l815 | hi :) | 21:01 |
| * l815 hands everyone a coffee | 21:01 | |
| * genii sips | 21:01 | |
| * SpudDogg pours it out onto l815 | 21:01 | |
| * l815 cries in horror T-T | 21:02 | |
| * SpudDogg laughs deviously | 21:02 | |
| * hischild drinks coffee .... thinks how great it tastes | 21:02 | |
| zelip | hi guys.. I'm afraid I must ask | 21:02 |
| * SpudDogg thinks l815 should have handed everyone beer or scotch | 21:02 | |
| * drc trades in in for a real drink...tea | 21:02 | |
| zelip | how can i put a redhat iso into a usb key?.. | 21:03 |
| * l815 you could have just asked >.> | 21:03 | |
| zelip | I've tried for a while now.. | 21:03 |
| altrux | does any one know if there is a package for imagemagick 6.3.X (pref 6.3.9) the one on teh default lists is 6.2.4 | 21:03 |
| zelip | I remember ubuntu having this option | 21:03 |
| densone | I need help setting and odd resolution, 768x1368 , I have a plasma TV and it needs to be vertical. Any advice would be awesome | 21:03 |
| kain | So, I'm an idiot. | 21:03 |
| SpudDogg | zelip: trying to get the OS onto a USB key and boot it? I'm not sure on that one | 21:03 |
| l815 | i would tell you to edit the xorg.conf file for that, but i don't know what to change :p | 21:03 |
| densone | I tried editing xorg.conf, but the resolution does not show up | 21:04 |
| matt_ | putting newspaper in wet sneakers dries them out quicker | 21:04 |
| kain | Attempting to fix my BitTorrent connection, and I input the wrong script into bitfix. | 21:04 |
| kain | And now, I can't delete it to redo the script | 21:04 |
| SpudDogg | matt_: i usually hang wet sneakers from my a/c intake grate | 21:04 |
| kain | Halp? | 21:04 |
| Busata | Hey, I'm trying to install ubuntu on an external harddrive, but everytime I want to advance with partitioning, it just reloads the partition manager screen.... | 21:04 |
| zelip | SpudDogg: tried that.. but is more of a rawrite kind of thing.. but rawrite won't do it to a usb key | 21:04 |
| densone | I basically need to turn the screen counter clockwise 90 degrees, and use a resolution of 768x1368 | 21:05 |
| l815 | if i try to uninstall bittorrent it says i have to uninstall the ubuntu-desktop T-T | 21:05 |
| MurielGodoi | Hi all, anyone got "1164:0601 YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd" HP Analog TV Tuner working under ubuntu? | 21:05 |
| gralco | okay so the emerald theme i downloaded from beryl-project is an archive on my desktop | 21:05 |
| Digi | Ok i need help with my add and remove lists | 21:05 |
| matt_ | we brits don't have aircon - we don't event have sneakers | 21:05 |
| gralco | how do i import it with the other themes | 21:05 |
| gralco | mmm | 21:06 |
| l815 | how come when i open a torrent file with transmission, it sometimes opens it and sometimes doesnt :/ | 21:06 |
| gilligan_ | hischild, does anyone know how I can change brightness settings when the brightness keys aren't working ? when I plug/unplug the ac adapter brightness level changes considerably.. so I wonder how I can trigger that manually when on battery | 21:06 |
| gilligan_ | oops | 21:06 |
| gilligan_ | does anyone know how I can change brightness settings when the brightness keys aren't working ? when I plug/unplug the ac adapter brightness level changes considerably.. so I wonder how I can trigger that manually when on battery | 21:06 |
| SpudDogg | gilligan_: probably a bios setting? | 21:06 |
| bod_ | guys, where can i find system themes for ubuntu? i know gnome-look i need more specific like gnome-look/systemthemes or summit | 21:07 |
| hischild | gilligan_, lol .... well i think that's in the battery options | 21:07 |
| gilligan_ | SpudDogg, oh..darn.. right.. i haven't thought of that | 21:07 |
| l815 | bod_, gtk 2.0 themes for the window themes, metacity for border themes | 21:07 |
| fbc | vlt: x11vnc did not work. I even tried to invoke it from rc.local with a password file. but it did not function... Is there any other way? | 21:07 |
| bod_ | l815, found it aswell,.lol,.,.cheers m8 | 21:08 |
| gilligan_ | hischild, that's not the point.. i had to blacklist the 'video' module as it hangs the system.. but what spuddogg says makes perfect sense.. it's the bios | 21:08 |
| l815 | bod_, great :) | 21:08 |
| gralco | how do you add effects to the advanced desktop effects | 21:08 |
| bod_ | l815, i was looking at xmms themes to begin with, then remembered its a music player | 21:08 |
| l815 | gralco, check them to enable them, and click on it to find out the hotkeys for them | 21:08 |
| gralco | no | 21:08 |
| gralco | add new ones | 21:08 |
| gralco | import them | 21:08 |
| fbc | How do I invoke a vnc server at system startup? | 21:08 |
| l815 | bod_, haha, you're not the only one who's made that kind mistake before :P | 21:09 |
| === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde | ||
| l815 | gralco, oh i didn't know you could add new effects? | 21:09 |
| hischild | gilligan_, then i'm probably confused as to what you're trying to do | 21:09 |
| bod_ | l815, ;~) | 21:09 |
| gilligan_ | hischild, i | 21:09 |
| gralco | hmm im pretty sure you can | 21:09 |
| gilligan_ | hischild, nevermind.. :) | 21:09 |
| primary | Hello! I was just wondering if gtkpod supports the new iPods yet or not :) | 21:09 |
| hischild | gilligan_, ok =) | 21:09 |
| l815 | gralco, makes sense , sorry i can't help on that | 21:09 |
| Cann0n | so, if there a way to turn off these annoying passwords? | 21:10 |
| gilligan_ | hischild, its probably indeed the bios changing the brightness level and the kernel has no way of setting it .. BECAUSE the 'video' acpi module is disabled.. it hangs the system | 21:10 |
| fbc | Anyone know how to invoke a vnc at system startup? | 21:10 |
| Docfxit | How can I see a log of the startup programs? | 21:10 |
| gralco | i dont know how to import the themes i downloaded from beryl project to my ubuntu themes though | 21:10 |
| l815 | Docfxit, System > Preferences > Sessions | 21:11 |
| l815 | gralco, you have to get Emerald theme manager | 21:11 |
| gralco | which i have | 21:12 |
| styfler | aqui so tem gente boa ? | 21:12 |
| l815 | gralco, did you import them into it? | 21:12 |
| styfler | vc ja deu o cuzinho ? | 21:12 |
| macrobad | Docfxit: dmesg | 21:12 |
| Docfxit | l815 » That shows me the startup programs. I'd like to see the log when they were run. I'm having a problem with one not running correctly. | 21:12 |
| l815 | gralco, then try Alt+f2 and type compiz --replace | 21:12 |
| gralco | when i downloaded it from beryl it was installed on to my desktop as and archive | 21:12 |
| Docfxit | macrobad » Tx. | 21:12 |
| l815 | Docfxit, ah okay | 21:13 |
| Busata | woot, it's installing \o/ | 21:13 |
| BuSefer | hello everybody | 21:13 |
| BuSefer | I am installing ubuntu to virtual box, when creating a vm there are OS Type choice - different linux versions , but no Ubuntu. What do I choose? | 21:13 |
| macrobad | np | 21:13 |
| Starnestommy | BuSefer: linux 2.6 | 21:13 |
| BuSefer | thank you | 21:13 |
| macrobad | Docfxit: dmesg actually cat's /var/log/messages | 21:13 |
| BuSefer | how much RAM do I give it? | 21:13 |
| styfler | pussy | 21:13 |
| gralco | pussy | 21:13 |
| styfler | porra de grilo | 21:13 |
| styfler | puzzy | 21:13 |
| gralco | puffy | 21:14 |
| styfler | meu cu ta doendo demais | 21:14 |
| styfler | UAHsuhaushau | 21:14 |
| styfler | porra | 21:14 |
| Docfxit | macrobad » That's great. | 21:14 |
| styfler | seus fdp | 21:14 |
| styfler | eu programo | 21:14 |
| styfler | manjo em delphi seus fdp | 21:14 |
| l815 | -_- | 21:14 |
| BuSefer | Starnestommy: how much RAM do I give it? | 21:14 |
| styfler | sua bichinha desgraçada | 21:14 |
| gralco | so that gave me a new theme but its not the one i downloaded | 21:14 |
| Starnestommy | BuSefer: 128 or 256 MB should work | 21:14 |
| styfler | vou fazer o downloaded da sua mãe | 21:14 |
| l815 | gralco, just click the one you want to use under emerald theme manager | 21:14 |
| BuSefer | ok, thanks | 21:14 |
| l815 | gralco, it should change to the one you click on now | 21:14 |
| W00tw000t | there is any benefic from imstalling apache with (configure make, make install) versus apt-get install apache ??? | 21:14 |
| gralco | i cant import it though because its an archive | 21:15 |
| l815 | gralco, extract the archive to wherever you'd like then drag the extracted folder to the emerald theme manager | 21:16 |
| ks3 | W00tw000t, unless there's a reason to do it from source, you're better off using the package | 21:16 |
| l815 | gralco, check the folder to see if there are more archives, because many themes come with more than one version of the theme | 21:17 |
| W00tw000t | ks3 ok thanks | 21:17 |
| gralco | ahh i just had to rename it with .emerald at the end | 21:17 |
| l815 | amule looks awesome in ubuntu :) | 21:17 |
| gralco | =) | 21:17 |
| l815 | gralco, lol i guess that works too :P | 21:17 |
| Cann0n | amule had issues with me | 21:18 |
| l815 | first time im running amule. | 21:18 |
| Cann0n | i use emule on my xp side | 21:18 |
| Cann0n | just started using windows again. | 21:18 |
| Ergo^ | is there any way i can change ntfs partition to ext ? | 21:18 |
| Monkee_Of_Evil | unlikely | 21:18 |
| apo | Hm, any experienced vim users here? How do I do s/$/<br \/>/ for the next 100 lines? | 21:18 |
| Cann0n | Ergo^, repatition | 21:19 |
| Starnestommy | apo: s/$/<br \/>/g | 21:19 |
| apo | Starnestommy: 100 lines, not all lines | 21:19 |
| apo | Starnestommy: Also, you mean %s/$/<br \/>/ | 21:19 |
| Ergo^ | Cann0n: sorry i forgot to add that i want to preserve the data :P | 21:19 |
| Docfxit | I have a startup program called sharex11vnc. I don't see it in the startup log. What could I have done wrong. If I run it from a terminal session it runs fine. | 21:19 |
| apo | Ergo^: No | 21:19 |
| apo | Ergo^: I'm pretty sure there isn't. | 21:20 |
| `David | greasy_leftwing | 21:20 |
| Cann0n | Ergo^, back it up. | 21:20 |
| Devan | Ergo^: Your best bet is probably to just move files over. | 21:20 |
| l815 | which is better, transmission or deluge? | 21:20 |
| Ergo^ | heh, so i have a problem then | 21:20 |
| igorzolnikov | hello! i have a problem... i'm stupid :-) | 21:20 |
| apo | l815: rtorrent | 21:20 |
| `David | i figured out the problem with repartitioning windows xp | 21:20 |
| l815 | apo, i'm a newb at command line | 21:20 |
| Odd-rationale | l815: Depends on what you want, deluge was more features, tranmission is smaller and simpler | 21:21 |
| Cann0n | so, whats up with amule? shit keeps crashing on me for no reason... | 21:21 |
| Cann0n | grrrr... im going back to slack. later folk | 21:21 |
| ks3 | apo, 5:s/blahblahblah | 21:21 |
| nicolah | I need some help configuring my wireless network, using a wep key should I put the 0x too ? (I mean should type 0xfe396ae04f or fe396ae04f) | 21:21 |
| apo | l815: It's not really command line. You just don't handle it with a mouse :) | 21:21 |
| `David | you need to defrag and completely shutdown windows before you can partition | 21:21 |
| apo | ks3: Thanks | 21:21 |
| l815 | i do like transmissions simplistic outlook | 21:21 |
| ks3 | apo, whoops, meant 100:s........ | 21:22 |
| l815 | apo, i'm willing to give it a try if it's really simple to learn how to use it | 21:22 |
| macrobad | Doxfxit: So, is it started after system reboot, although it doesn't appear in logs? | 21:22 |
| jamil_11020429 | I have problem with video files or video player. whenever i try stop a video playing in totem movie player my pc gets stuck and i have to restart it. This thing hold for any format be it flv,mpeg,avi. | 21:22 |
| Odd-rationale | jamil_11020429: Even ogg's ? | 21:22 |
| sp1227 | im trying to install grub on a small partition on an internal drive | 21:22 |
| Docfxit | macrobad » It does run but not correctly. And doesn't appear in the log. | 21:23 |

| Odd-rationale | jamil_11020429: There should be a ogg video is the examples folder | 21:23 |
| sp1227 | does what type of formatting do i use? ext3, or linux-swap? | 21:23 |
| jamil_11020429 | i havent checked | 21:23 |
| l815 | is there a way to stop the screen glitch when i launch a program from the panel? | 21:23 |
| apo | l815: I think it's easy, but then again, I'm a sucker for ncurses stuff. | 21:23 |
| apo | sp1227: ext3 | 21:23 |
| Flannel | sp1227: GRUB uses any linux filesystem | 21:23 |

| apo | l815: Lemme search for a link. | 21:24 |
| jamil_11020429 | whether i get stuck or not | 21:24 |
| l815 | apo, great thanks | 21:24 |
| sp1227 | apo: how do install grub that partition? | 21:24 |
| Docfxit | macrobad » I know it runs because it is supposed to display what port it's running on. The window comes up with no port in it. | 21:24 |
| Odd-rationale | jamil_11020429: So if you leave the room that means you got stuck :) | 21:24 |
| sp1227 | using the terminal, do i just | 21:24 |
| sp1227 | "grub" | 21:24 |
| Flannel | !grub | sp1227 | 21:24 |
| ubotu | sp1227: 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 | 21:24 |
| apo | sp1227: Uh, I dunno. I usually let hte ubuntu installer handle everything | 21:25 |
| apo | l815: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ is the rtorrent homepage, there's a guide at http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide | 21:25 |
| ZPertee | I was following these guides (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntu and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsteriskOnUbuntuFeisty) in the first one it sent me to the second page if I am using gusty would I want to follow the second page too or is it specific fesity issues? | 21:25 |
| saraj | ima li neko ziv? | 21:25 |
| macrobad | Docfxit: ps -ef | grep 'name of program' should tell you for sure it really runs. What is more it would tell you what command line options it was given, so that you could compare them with manual start up | 21:25 |
| l815 | apo, thanks again.. i'll give it a try | 21:25 |
| apo | l815: And I'm pretty sure that the folks in #rtorrent will be glad to help you if you get stuck :) | 21:25 |
| sp1227 | apo: the reason im asking is because i installed ubunutu on an external drive, but accidentaly installed grub on the internal drive. so whenever i try to boot without the external drive, i keep getting error 21 | 21:25 |
| l815 | apo, do you know a quick way to install it using terminal? | 21:26 |
| apo | l815: sudo apt-get install rtorrent | 21:26 |
| gralco | i would have never figured it out with out you telling me to press alt+F2 and typing in compiz | 21:26 |
| gralco | thanks | 21:26 |

| apo | l815: *g* | 21:26 |
| `David | guys any tips on getting ubuntu to connect to aol (dial-up) | 21:27 |
| apo | l815: If you want a newer version, you can get it from their svn or their unstable release, but unless you wanna be bleeding edge, I don't recommend compiling it yourself :) | 21:27 |
| l815 | apo, i do like being bleeding edge, but since i'm new at it i'll stay with stable | 21:27 |
| Ergo^ | if i cant change ntfs->ext3 , maybe i could do ntfs->fat32->ext3 ? | 21:27 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: no, formatting is a destructive process | 21:28 |
| l815 | apo, i learned my lesson with the hardy unstable release haha | 21:28 |
| apo | l815: I can guide you throgh it if you want. | 21:28 |
| apo | through* | 21:28 |
| ZPertee | David: broadband or dialup? | 21:28 |
| bluecake | how to 'convert' bmp file to jpg file, and tell 'convert' dont compress it too much? | 21:28 |
| Flannel | !dialup | `David | 21:28 |
| ubotu | `David: 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 | 21:28 |
| apo | l815: The unstable releases are working just fine for me. | 21:28 |
| apo | bluecake: You can select the compression. | 21:28 |
| l815 | apo, ill learn how to do the basics first, and once i get comfortable i'll upgrade | 21:28 |
| Ergo^ | Flannel: im not talking about formatting, i want to switch filesystems - im sure fat32->ntfs works ive done it few times, it should be reversable too | 21:29 |
| apo | l815: Alright. | 21:29 |
| l815 | apo, thanks again | 21:29 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: "Changing filesystems" is formatting | 21:29 |
| apo | l815: You're welcome :) | 21:29 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Or at least, as far as data destruction is concerned | 21:29 |
| apo | Ergo^: fat32 -> ntfs is a special case. It doesn't work for ntfs -> ext3 | 21:29 |
| Tm_T | apo: never recommend unstable | 21:30 |
| apo | Tm_T: I didn't. | 21:30 |

| Ergo^ | is there an easy way to resize ext3 partitions ? | 21:31 |
| bluecake | apo, did you see what i typed? | 21:31 |
| jamil_11020421 | totem-gstreamer | 21:31 |
| apo | l815: <backspace> <path> | 21:31 |
| bluecake | how to 'convert' bmp file to jpg file, and do 'convert -some option' so it does not compress too much? | 21:31 |
| bluecake | i read the webpag for convert, but did not see an option for that | 21:31 |
| Odd-rationale | jamil_11020421: Have you tried totem-xine? | 21:31 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: Any partition manager can. You'll probably need to boot to a liveCD, since you can't resize while in use. And you can only move the foot of the filesystem as well | 21:31 |
| jamil_11020421 | nope | 21:31 |
| apo | bluecake: Oh, sorry. I read "doesn't convert compress it too much" | 21:31 |
| l815 | apo, backspace is the url then? | 21:32 |
| jals | is there some way to check how long ubuntu has been installed on my system? | 21:32 |
| apo | bluecake: convert -help helps. I don't know the command right now, sorry. | 21:32 |
| bluecake | i lost connection | 21:32 |
| jamil_11020421 | well in some way i have tried | 21:32 |
| Ergo^ | "you can only move the foot of the filesystem as well" what does that mean ? | 21:32 |
| apo | l815: no, hit backspace, then enter the path/url | 21:32 |
| jamil_11020421 | but in totem xine half of screen is blue | 21:32 |
| l815 | apo, oh it's literal o_o | 21:32 |
| apo | l815: When you hit backspace, load_start will appear at the bottom. | 21:32 |
| === windvogel_one is now known as windvogel | ||
| l815 | apo, okay | 21:32 |
| Odd-rationale | jamil_11020421: Does the same happen with a different movie player like mplayer or vlc? | 21:32 |
| Docfxit | macrobad » Tx. Now I see it's looking for a file in the wrong directory. What is in the startup is ~/.vnc/passwd Where it is getting the file from is /home/docfxit/.vnc/passwd Where it should get the file from is /root/.vnc/passwd How can I change it to go to the correct directory? | 21:32 |
| apo | l815: There's also a page with a lot of neat stuff you can do in your options file, http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks | 21:33 |
| danh1 | Hey, is it possible that ctrl-alt-F7 could cause your session to get *really really* slow and laggy? | 21:33 |
| Flannel | Ergo^: You can only move the tail end of the filesystem (making it bigger or not), you can't move the front part. If you have hda1 which is ext3, and you get rid of hda2, you can expand hda1 into the space. If you get rid of hda1, you can't directly expand hda2 into that space (you're moving "forward" on the drive) | 21:33 |
| jamil_11020421 | i haven't tried VLC but with mplayer different output mode are to be used with different file | 21:33 |
| danh1 | I somehow hit ctrl alt f1 or something and got out of X.....and when I switched back it was ridiculously slow till I logged out and then back in | 21:33 |

| JonZenor | and my keyboard and mouse quit working (the second time today) | 21:35 |

| hischild | kenro, gnome seems jittery sometimes and i can't change enough things around. Compiz is nice and has some fun features, yet it can't be customized how i want it. Thus i want to change a few things around :-) | 21:48 |
| cube | but i thought u needed 64 to go above 4gb | 21:48 |
| cube | im just at 4gb | 21:48 |
| soulburner | i was reading some posts which i can't find now, which explained the problem | 21:48 |
| mad_max02 | 32bit installations have a memory limit while 64bit ones dont | 21:48 |
| mad_max02 | nope | 21:49 |
| cl3tUs | Flannel: E: couldn't find package gcc 3.4 | 21:49 |
| deniz__ | cube, i think 32 bit is limited to 3.something gb of ram | 21:49 |
| mad_max02 | thats because of the memory allocation and some other stuff | 21:49 |

After that, Ubuntu booted into "Low resolution mode" and has switched driver to "vesa" (I originally used fglrx since I'm on an ATI RADEON). Now I can't change back. What gives? | 22:28 |

| swatTX | hello all. My problem is that I boot into BusyBox(initramfs login) instead of the normal ubuntu login window. | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | `David, Test in terminal sudo screen /dev/ttyS4 | 22:29 |
| nikok | slavik: i've added it later to my comp... and now trying to load the module manually... | 22:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | `David, You should now be in a Modem terminal window so type "ATZ" then return it should respond ok | 22:29 |
| slavik | judgen: USA has the slowest broadband adoption rate in the world :( | 22:29 |

| `David | ok then what | 22:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | `David, Now that we know the modem is working we need to make a symlink to connect ttyS4 to the modem | 22:30 |

| `David | do i need to install drivers for it on ubuntu? i'm pretty sure its plug n play | 22:30 |
| judgen | slavik, i thought missisippi area had quite good connections | 22:30 |

| slavik | punkshui: what do you have now and what did you have before? | 22:32 |
| punkshui | i have gutsy now and had xp before | 22:32 |

| gralco | Odd-rationale: start over | 22:33 |
| slavik | punkshui: did you replace winxp with gutsy? | 22:33 |
| macrobad | punkshui: So, what's the trouble? Grab a CD, wipe hard drive and install WinXP. | 22:33 |
| `David | so after i do that Jack_Sparrow? | 22:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | `David, get that far and you should be good to go. | 22:34 |
| swatTX | how do i get past the (initramfs) login? I boot straight to that | 22:34 |
| `David | that configures the modem, but how do i connect? | 22:34 |
| punkshui | macrobad: slavik: my laptop ships with a recovery partition NOT a cd.. i saved the recovery partition when i upgraded to gutsy. i believe there is an image file of the factory settings in it | 22:34 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: OK. Delete all the files you created/extracted except for the plugins.tar.gz (the one from the forum) And we'll start this over. | 22:34 |

| `David | i'll brb then | 22:35 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: where would it be if i had installed | 22:36 |
| Lifeisfunny | hahaha, it never ends ... someone always shows up trying to get the Linux community to work on their return to Windows. | 22:36 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: possible ~/.compiz | 22:36 |
| macrobad | punkshui: You should start the tool you have used to save the recovery partition and feed it with the image. | 22:37 |
| steve176 | shawn_selig29: it's not the same as I get | 22:37 |
| macrobad | Lifeisfunny: Indeed, life is funny! ^^ | 22:37 |
| steve176 | shawn_selig29: what happens if you type java -version | 22:37 |
| punkshui | macrobad: the computer comes with this partition with an image in it.. i didnt create it | 22:37 |
| swatTX | if no one can help can someone point in the right direction? | 22:37 |
| Lifeisfunny | punkshui, I'm looking at a page on support.microsoft.com explaining how to remove Linux | 22:38 |
| punkshui | swatTX perhaps you should ask your question again | 22:38 |
| punkshui | Lifeisfunny: does it require a windows cd? | 22:38 |
| Starnestommy | swatTX: sounds like there's a bug keeping the system from booting properly | 22:38 |
| swatTX | Starnestommy: any idea how to get past it. I'm pretty sure it has something to to with my ATI drivers. I just tried to go with the restricted-drivers and when i tried to remove them i locked up and booted into initramfs | 22:40 |
| larsemil | today i installed a ubuntu with debootstrap. everything is working fine, allthough the gnome-power-manager doesnt seem to have as many options as i had before. what package do i need to install for this? | 22:40 |
| macrobad | punkshui: Actually, it is a good question. I couldn't figure out how to use recovery partitions. Perhaps, you may need to change the boot sequence in BIOS, or by any means try booting from the recovery partition. | 22:40 |
| === vedo is now known as mali | ||
| punkshui | macrobad: id like to boot from the recovery partition how do i do that? | 22:41 |
| Lifeisfunny | punkshui, it does say: "verify that you have a bootable disk or bootable CD-ROM for the Linux operating system," and "Insert either a bootable floppy disk or the bootable Windows XP CD-ROM, and then press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart your computer." | 22:41 |

| Odd-rationale | gralco: Great! You have the plugins.tar.gz, right? | 22:42 |
| gralco | yes | 22:42 |

| gralco | Odd-rationale: yes | 22:43 |
| shawn_selig29 | cause i think im still running 7.10 | 22:43 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: OK. Decide where you want to put it. Like ~/Desktop or ~/.compiz | 22:43 |
| Starnestommy | shawn_selig29: it isn't going to be fully released until next month | 22:43 |
| slavik | shawn_selig29: there is a freeze but it is not release yet | 22:43 |
| shawn_selig29 | ok | 22:43 |
| shawn_selig29 | i can easily update via soft. update..and keep all my setting and stuff? | 22:43 |
| macrobad | punkshui: I couldn't find any easy ways, and, thus, formatted my recovery partition. It must be possible to use fdisk to change the active disk, or alter settings of grub. | 22:44 |
| faileas | hmm | 22:44 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: so i need to extract plugins.tar.gz to the desktop | 22:45 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: Well, yes. | 22:45 |
| macrobad | punkshui: What is funny, there is an image of your system on the recovery partition, and I have opened it with Norton Ghost to take out the drivers and specific bundeled soft! | 22:45 |
| swatTX | I tried using the restricted ATI drivers, didn't like them and went to remove them. During removal my system locked up and now boots to the '(initramfs)' login prompt. Can anyone help me restore my original drivers? | 22:45 |
| faileas | i need something that'll tell me what hardware is on a system, something like SIW on windows, any suggestions? | 22:46 |
| gnarlyc | Does anyone know of a fix for...I have to click on synaptic twice to get it to ask for a root password? | 22:46 |
| macrobad | s/bundeled/bundled | 22:46 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: So on your desktop you see a *folder* called plugins ? | 22:47 |
| Lifeisfunny | gnarlyc: you can try trashing that link and reconstructing one from scratch | 22:48 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: how would i do that if im in in plugins.tar.gz archive | 22:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | swatTX, can you use escape on boot to get grub menu and into recovery mode | 22:48 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: what am i extacring | 22:48 |
| kenro | Why do I have an if called 'wlan_rename', and why doesn't eth1 work anymore? | 22:48 |

| Odd-rationale | gralco: Open nautilus and find the plugins.tar.gz file. Right click that file | 22:49 |
| shawn_selig29 | wats a good p2p program like frostwire/ limewire? | 22:49 |
| swatTX | Jack_Sparrow: no. It still stops at the initramfs prompt | 22:49 |
| deniz__ | shawn_selig29, limewire for ubuntu and amule | 22:49 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: First, where is the plugins.tar.gz? Put the tar ball on your desktop. It will be easier to explain that way. | 22:49 |
| deniz__ | shawn_selig29, amule is slow but i usually use that if i cant find stuff on other places | 22:50 |
| shawn_selig29 | ok..ill get limewire then i already got java installed | 22:50 |

| Lifeisfunny | Digi, go into the system / preferences Main Menu and see if the tick box is wacked | 22:54 |

| nbkr | lisciss, What kind of console, gnome-terminal? Then just mark the text in the X window and paste it to the terminal by pressing the middle mouse button. | 23:10 |
| kenro | macrobad: So just deal with dataport access (plugin ethernet cord, looks like a telephone cord) til Heron's wlan subsystem gets sorted, huh? | 23:10 |
| BarryToeman | lisciss: or copy and then paste ctrl+shift+v | 23:10 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: umm i have compiz fusions advanced desktop settings | 23:10 |
| Kalamarencu | PriceChild, if it is up or down and driver version ? | 23:10 |
| nbkr | neztiti, Whats the problem with that output? The kept back packages? | 23:11 |
| lisciss | nbkr, not an xterm | 23:11 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: That is it. You can enble your 3d windows there. Have fun! | 23:11 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: under system>preferences | 23:11 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: thanks dude! | 23:11 |
| lisciss | nbkr, a console not running in X | 23:11 |
| PriceChild | Kalamarencu: ifconfig | 23:11 |
| neztiti | nbnbkr: yes | 23:11 |
| kenro | macrobad: Specific enought for you? | 23:11 |
| PriceChild | Kalamarencu: for the latter, not sure. | 23:11 |
| === TrustNoOne is now known as DaftPunk | ||
| neztiti | nbkr: yes | 23:11 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: Yeah. FINALLY... I think I messed you up a couple times. :) | 23:12 |
| Kalamarencu | that will do it for me | 23:12 |
| Kalamarencu | thanks PriceChild | 23:12 |
| c0rr | DaftPunk: how long you been on irc mang? | 23:12 |
| DaftPunk | how can i format unpartitiond space with hfs+ in ubuntu? i can only use hfs with gparted and it only lets me go to 2gb... i want hfs+ to install mac as dual boot | 23:12 |
| macrobad | kenro: I am back. Uh, so you call ethernet a 'dataport'. Yeah, it is. | 23:12 |
| nbkr | lisciss, No way then, you could try to paste the text on the X system into gvim, copy it from there to a special clipboard (like a), save the vim session, load in on the console, edit a new file and paste the copied text. But I'm not sure if this will really work. | 23:12 |
| c0rr | i dont think you can format to hfs+, you might wanna do that with disk utility in the os x install | 23:12 |
| neztiti | nbkr: yes - is it problem or not??? | 23:12 |
| Kalamarencu | !driver version | 23:13 |

| macrobad | kenro: what does ifconfig eth1 give you? | 23:13 |
| macrobad | kenro: and what about iwconfig eth1? | 23:13 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: Pretty cool, eh? | 23:13 |
| DaftPunk | c0rr, i was going to, but i have other partitions and it said all partitions will be lost even though i "locked" them from being changed during the osx install... so im scared ill lose ubuntu | 23:13 |
| kenro | macrobad: ethernet's the protocol. Dataports are what you plug into. | 23:13 |
| lisciss | nbkr, thats what I usually do ,, but with nano. I was wandering if there was a quicker way | 23:13 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: yeah | 23:13 |
| c0rr | no shit. | 23:13 |
| nbkr | neztiti, "kept back" means that the system can't update these packages without updating/changing other packages. It is not a real problem, just not nice. | 23:14 |
| c0rr | well, back up your stuff, install os x (while leaving free space) then install ubuntu | 23:14 |
| steven_ | Anyone got a minute to help out with some sound problems? | 23:14 |
| neztiti | nbkr: w8 to do u think ??? | 23:15 |
| nbkr | neztiti, You can force the system to update those packages by entring e.x. "sudo apt-get install mythtv". It will show you what other packages will be changed. | 23:15 |
| `David | where can i get Gnome Modem Monitor and Network Monitor | 23:15 |
| macrobad | kenro: I know that ethernet is one of many L2 protocols, I am just not used to referring to it as dataport access, and have always used wired connection instead. | 23:15 |
| BarryToeman | dr_spork: ffmpeg | 23:15 |
| benanzo | If I have a private key but lost the public ssh key, can I generate a compatible public key for it? | 23:15 |
| nbkr | neztiti, I have the same problem with some clamav packages from time to time. By now forcing the system to do the upgrade wasn't any problem yet, but I never installed mythtv. | 23:15 |
| DaftPunk | c0rr, i dont wanna spend days setting this up, why waste my time when i potentially hav the option to just install osx after partitioning hfs+, instead of doing ubuntu again which will take like days | 23:15 |
| benanzo | or vice-versa? | 23:15 |
| nbkr | benanzo, No, thats impossible. | 23:16 |
| BarryToeman | dr_spork: ffmpeg -i input.avi -b 200K (or whatever you want) output.avi | 23:16 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: Well. See you later. gtg! | 23:16 |
| gralco | later | 23:16 |
| BarryToeman | dr_spork: ffmpeg will use defaults for whatever parameters you don't specify | 23:16 |
| benanzo | I have a ssh account on a shared server -- I want to know if someone there grabs the .ssh/authorized_keys file if they'd be able to generate a compatible id_rsa for for it? | 23:17 |
| kenro | macrobad: iwconfig by itself shows eth0/eth1 with no wireless extensions. Wireless extensions are, instead, attached to something called wlan_rename. | 23:17 |
| neztiti | nbkr: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58545/ | 23:17 |
| nbkr | benanzo, Well, ok if would be a gpg key than you could generate the public key from the private one (as the private one normaly contains a copy of the public as far as I remember), but you won't be able to generate the private key out of the public. That would be a huge security leak. | 23:17 |
| swatTX | I tried using the restricted ATI drivers, didn't like them and went to remove them. During removal my system locked up and now boots to the '(initramfs)' login prompt. Can anyone help me restore my original drivers? | 23:17 |
| BarryToeman | dr_spork: ffmpeg will reencode it, but i guess you can't call it quick | 23:17 |
| nbkr | neztiti, Try "sudo apt-get install mythtv mythtv-frontend mythtv-backend mythtv-common mythtv-database mythtv-transcode-utils wine-doors" | 23:18 |
| danand | neztiti - you can get the system to upgrade the packeges that are "kept back" by doing apt-get install for each of the packages in the list. usually packages are kept back because they now require or depend on extra packages to work. i always see what the system is going to do by running apt-get with the -s flag first ie apt-get -s package_name | 23:19 |
| macrobad | kenro: Err... It seems that I am not the right guy to help you, but anyway, let me connect my wifi card and see what goes where. | 23:19 |

| william____yo | you are mi love you | 23:20 |
| nbkr | neztiti, Any more mentioned packages? | 23:20 |
| benanzo | when I ssh to a remote computer -- am I sending my id_rsa to the remote computer for processing? or am I getting the authorized_keys *from* the remote computer? I wonder if it's possible to people on the remote machine to dump my id_rsa out of memory | 23:20 |
| Light- | use hibernate, its a bit slower but it should at least work | 23:20 |
| shawn_selig29 | ok i checged it tohibernat einstead of sleep when lid is closed | 23:21 |
| shawn_selig29 | thxs | 23:21 |
| nbkr | benanzo, You are not sending your private key. The server sends you a "challenge" encrypted with your id_rsa.pub. Your PC encrypts it and sends it back. That proves that you are the owner of the private key to the save "authorized_key" | 23:21 |
| benanzo | Oh ok | 23:22 |
| benanzo | Thanks | 23:22 |
| Sakkath | um | 23:22 |
| steven_ | I'll just throw this out there, I just installed Ubuntu, and everything works but the sound. The drivers say they're there, xmms says it's playing, but there's no sound. | 23:22 |
| Sakkath | i have a microsoft usb wireless mouse taht has worked on every distro of linux i've tried so far.... but it doesn't work on kubuntu! lsusb shows it, and it's def not the port since it lights up (the receiver). also i can't find gpm? it says something refers to it but it has no candidates (apt-get install gpm) | 23:23 |
| nbkr | steven_, Did you made sure that all sound controls are up - nothing muted ... ? | 23:23 |
| dxdt | steven_: check to see that the actual volume is up? (Not in xmms, but in like the sound preferences) sometimes it defaults to mute | 23:23 |
| mad_max02 | can I remove evolution from my system ?? when I try to remove it with synaptics it requests to remove some other files that I dont know if they are important | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | shawn_selig29, If that has ati video look into slub and video problems with hibernate | 23:23 |
| steven_ | nbkr/dxdt: Yes, I have. That's the first thing I checked. | 23:23 |
| nettow0822_ | is it possible to setup a file manager like gksudo nautilus in xfce? | 23:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nettow0822_, Try thunar | 23:24 |
| dxdt | mad_max02: yeah, it will probably scare you with something like remove ubuntu-desktop, but that is just a meta package. You should be OK unless you should only lose functions that evolution provide to you. | 23:24 |
| nettow0822_ | what would be the sudo command before thunar? | 23:24 |

| fr0nk_ | hey where can i see what is being startet when the system boots? i think that's a lot too much | 23:36 |
| danand | Sakkath - your apt-get problem sounds like you need to enable a repository - check you have the universe repository enabled | 23:36 |
| macrobad | kenro: What would 'lspci | grep Network' tell you? | 23:36 |
| Light- | swatTX: I know the pain of trying to use ATI with linux. Have you changed your video driver back to "ati" from "fglrx" in xorg.conf? | 23:36 |
| Sakkath | danand: thanks for response. it IS only the install cd though. taht might be why. that's just a help, but not even a lil' bit required. i'd much rather know why this mouse isn't working. the device is set to /dev/input/mice in xorg.conf, the default; i see no reason this shouldn't work as it has on many other distros | 23:37 |
| dxdt | mad_max02: I'm pretty sure I've removed it in the past on a different release of Ubuntu so I'm pretty sure it is OK. | 23:37 |
| Kumool | edchen ? a presure sensitive keyboard lol u probably have enabled slow keys try disabling it | 23:37 |

| [FT]Alex | Kumool, you can install linux on pretty much any pc | 23:40 |
| [FT]Alex | vista shouldn't affect it | 23:40 |
| Kumool | can window vista see it or is it blind yet again? | 23:40 |
| hischild | [FT]Alex: vista doesn't matter, but the fact that it was designed for it means that it might be hard ... | 23:40 |
| Kumool | the partition i mean | 23:40 |
| swatTX | Light-: I don't know how to get to any of my system files | 23:41 |
| kenro | macrobad: I wasn't aware Broadcom were being shits this goround. And my synaptics cursor pad is so deteriorated the cmds get jumbled. | 23:41 |

| Light- | swatTX: does the LiveCD mount your hard drives? | 23:41 |
| danand | Sakkath - check you have the modules psmouse usbcore and uhci_hcd in your kernel modules list. check by typing lsmod in a terminal and searching through or grep them ie lsmod | grep psmouse etc | 23:41 |
| [FT]Alex | that's true, hischild :) I dunno specifics about vista | 23:41 |

| ||COSTA|| | could someone help to configure my laptop sound card... to ubuntu!? | 23:52 |
| soldats | iancp: you can check your x11 logs and may be a cause of the problem, you could check in /var/log/xorg.log.0 | 23:52 |
| danand | Sakkath - also check you have the module ehci_hcd loaded ie lsmod | grep ehci | 23:53 |
| macrobad | kenro: I have BCM4318, one of the nastiest cards, and it works. I have made it work on Gentoo even... So, I suggest you trying to install drivers manually, if automated configuration doesn't work. | 23:53 |
| [FT]Alex | swatTX do you remember what you did before your hard drive disappeared? | 23:53 |
| Sakkath | danand: i do | 23:53 |
| Izzi | does anyone here have any expierence gparted? | 23:54 |
| iancp | soldat: i'm not comfortable with logs, i'm not that good with code | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ||COSTA||, Sounds like you need to recompile alsa please use version 15 not 16.... Good help in #Alsa room as well | 23:54 |
| iancp | is there something like friendly gui? | 23:54 |
| luis_ | hello | 23:54 |
| [FT]Alex | Izzi I've used it a bit, but I'm not an expert | 23:54 |
| iancp | and hdparm is it a diskcheck? just wondering | 23:54 |
| swatTX | [FT]Alex: I was uninstalling the restricted drivers and trying to get the defaults back. during removal of the restricted drivers my system locked up and i've never been able to log back in | 23:54 |
| kenro | macrobad: to be sure, there's a driver in 2.6.22 (maybe 24), but they can't legally distr the firmware. Users hafta hack that, but the Team provides a headstart with fwcutter. Problem is b43 doesn't use microcode. | 23:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 23:54 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 23:54 |
| luis_ | alguien habla spanish | 23:54 |
| danand | steven_ - if you type aplay -l does your card show up in the list? | 23:54 |
| ||COSTA|| | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks man! | 23:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 23:55 |
| iancp | thnks ubotu | 23:55 |
| Sakkath | danand: what i don't get... appears right in lsusb. the receiver obv. gets power, is lit up. mouse/receiver definitley work | 23:55 |
| [FT]Alex | swatTX what happens when you try to boot from the hard drive? | 23:55 |
| * Pelo needs to get geekier friends do he can introduce them to Ubuntu, the gym does isn't the right place | 23:55 | |
| steven_ | danand: It just says HDA Generic, doesn't list the Realtek. | 23:55 |
| phoenix24 | Any tool/program to wrap a text file in 80-col format ? | 23:56 |
| swatTX | [FT]Alex: it boots straight to a shell initramfs prompt | 23:56 |
| danand | steven_ - and what is the output of asoundconf -l again? | 23:56 |
| Pelo | phoenix24, can't you do this in OOo ? | 23:56 |
| cjones | how do i change what kernal i use ? | 23:57 |
| bruenig | phoenix24: you could do it with bash | 23:57 |
| [FT]Alex | swatTX oh, so linux is still there? did you try startx? | 23:57 |
| danand | steven_ - sorry asoundconf list | 23:57 |
| Pelo | cjones, I guess you would install the new kernel image, make a couple of edit to grub and then boot the new kernel | 23:57 |
| danand | Sakkath - does you mouse work using the live cd? | 23:57 |
| phoenix24 | bruenig: please explain how | 23:57 |
| swatTX | [FT]Alex: I don't think that's an option. the commands are limited at the initramfs prompt | 23:57 |
| steven_ | danand: Name of available, then Intel. | 23:57 |
| bruenig | phoenix24: it would be complex though, basically using read and parameter expansion | 23:57 |
| cjones | pelo i just want to switch from generic to low latancey | 23:57 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | hey all | 23:58 |
| bruenig | substring expansion | 23:58 |
| danand | steven_ - you just have an onboard intel card correct? | 23:58 |
| phoenix24 | Pelo: I need it for batch processing! | 23:58 |
| Sakkath | danand: this is the livecd. i'm trying to install it | 23:58 |
| macrobad | kenro: If I correctly understand you, noone has managed to tame your card so far? | 23:58 |
| Pelo | cjones, in synaptic , search for kernel images see what is availabe, check the low latency one to install , grub should be updated automaticaly, restart and pick the low latency one from grub | 23:58 |
| steven_ | danand: It's an HDA Realtek onboard card. | 23:58 |
| bruenig | phoenix24: so if a line had 85 characters, the first 80 would go on one line, then the next 5 on the other line and then a new line would start after that right? | 23:59 |
| kenro | macrobad: Far as I know, no. | 23:59 |
| cjones | pelo thanks | 23:59 |
| Pelo | phoenix24, I might have had a different notion of what 80-col meant | 23:59 |
| cjones | pelo so if i know winch one i wanted i could also apt-get it ? | 23:59 |
| phoenix24 | bruenig: yes! | 23:59 |
| Bigg400 | hey whats the story on running 32 bit windows in a vm on a 64 bit *buntu install | 23:59 |
| Pelo | cjones, yep | 23:59 |
