| cjones | pelo cool thanks man | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| [FT]Alex | swatTX - oh yeah, that was stupid of me. I'm not sure what to do from the initramfs prompt :( sorry | 00:00 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | cjones: you could sudo apt-get search blabla | 00:00 |
| Gnea | Bigg400: should work just fine. what vm have you looked at? | 00:00 |
| cjones | thanksa | 00:00 |
| Bigg400 | Gnea: not sure was thinking VirtualBox | 00:00 |
| Pelo | Bigg400, no story, you can run 32bit os on 64 bit machines even virtual ones | 00:00 |
| swatTX | [FT]Alex: that's what most ppl end up saying. thanks for trying though | 00:00 |
| Sakkath | danand: maybe it's just this pc. maybe the board/usb port. it gets power, yes, but that doesn't mean data. when i say it works, even w/linux, it was never on this box before. | 00:01 |
| danand | Sakkath - ahh ok - sorry your problem has me beat - i have a wireless usb mouse on my system and that works fine.... fraid i've kinda run out of ideas on that one | 00:01 |
| Gnea | Bigg400: haven't used that. vmware is my favorite, though. if you get the workstation you can get a 30-day license and create all of the virtual disks you need, then run/install with vmplayer | 00:01 |
| kenro | macrobad: I've never seen the inside of a lappy yet, but have a hard time thinking of something permanently attacted to the MB as a 'card'. Therefore I just refer to it as a network interface device. NID. ;) | 00:01 |
| danand | Sakkath - that may be the case :( | 00:01 |
| geek | actually, you can get vmware server | 00:01 |
| icesword | hi | 00:01 |
| Sakkath | danand: maybe another port... before i grab a new mouse/try w/same ubuntu cd on another box | 00:01 |

| Gnea | well it depends on your application - i've run server 2003 on vmware server and vmplayer and it works fine both ways, but runs a bit smoother in vmware server. YMMV | 00:04 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: lol don't laugh--was father's. it's microsoft. lsusb shows it fine and it works on windows and with every other distribution i've tried. note that i've never used it on this box, windows/linux | 00:04 |

| Pelo | gil, sudo ./filename.bin | 00:08 |
| gil | i am follow the info but i cant install the file | 00:08 |
| Sakkath | danand: no, it was not loaded by default. seems to make no difference though. | 00:08 |
| gil | i did | 00:08 |
| swatTX | Ubuntu is NOT easy to customize! If it wasn't free and my laptop wasn't old I wouldn't continue to try. Anytime I try to do anything other than the defaults this stupid INITRAMFS prompt shows up and I can NEVER get past it. VERY FRUSTRATING! | 00:08 |
| geek | icesword: vmware isn;t too bad | 00:08 |
| danand | Sakkath - do you have usbhid module loaded too? | 00:08 |

| gil | how i do that | 00:09 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: yes, i've definitely used it on linux before | 00:09 |

| geek | icesword: server is similar to WS, just uses a slightly older core, and runs headless | 00:10 |
| Pelo | Docfxit, you'll have to explore the other ones then | 00:10 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | sakkath: the kernel | 00:10 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | sakkath: yeah, its just one of many things that can go wrong with linux :P give me a minute | 00:11 |

| steven_ | danand: http://pastebin.com/d4cbec106 - I messaged you that. | 00:12 |
| Pelo | gil, you need to ask the person who setup ubuntu on the computer | 00:12 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | sakkath: are you on the live cd now? | 00:12 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: unplugged/plugged in mouse and checked /var/log/messages (expected /var/log/boot for dmesg, empty file?) and it says as /dev/input/input7 wtf? | 00:12 |
| swatTX | Alan_M: for it to be factual i would expect to learn something IMO, all i get is dead ends and have to do a fresh install | 00:12 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: yes | 00:12 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: i mean /class/input/input7 | 00:12 |
| macrobad | kenro: :) I am not involved in anime. At least, so far! ^^ | 00:12 |
| gil | i did set up my computer in the terminal i wrote sudo space -s | 00:12 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: i don't even know what that means. | 00:13 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Sakkath, right type this into a term: grep mouse /var/log/dmesg | 00:13 |
| Alan_M | You kinda are learning something though, linux isnt for the faint of heart sometimes swatTX :) | 00:13 |
| [FT]Alex | haha | 00:13 |
| danand | steven_ - ah ok, unless you are registered with nickserv i don't think you can pm people | 00:13 |
| steven_ | That'd explain it. | 00:13 |
| danand | steven_ - will take a look now | 00:13 |
| Alan_M | danand, i believe thats right. | 00:13 |
| Prefix100 | ive had linux for just over a week and personally im very happy with the change, the only issues i hav ecome across are becuase of my human error | 00:13 |
| [FT]Alex | swatTX what was the command you used to remove the ati drivers? maybe you deleted a module you shouldn't have? | 00:14 |
| steven_ | Thankyyou | 00:14 |
| apo | gil: So, are you root now? | 00:14 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | sakkath: what did grep find? | 00:14 |
| gil | yes | 00:14 |
| kenro | macrobad: actually, these are graphic novels or manga. aka Japanese comic books. Not Japanese cartoons. ;) But I'm just being banal right now. :) | 00:14 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: i have no gpm to copy/paste to you. ubuntu has no `nopaste' script. i can get the script and pipe the results to a file and then upload the results? | 00:14 |
| Alan_M | Prefix100, yeah..some people have no problems with the switch, some do...imo its just experience levels. | 00:14 |
| Pelo | Prefix100, the first time I tried ubuntu , it took me a week to boot windows back and that was just to get my email infor | 00:14 |
| apo | gil: Then why does it not work? | 00:14 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: it's just a ruby script... i can scp from my other box via ssh | 00:14 |
| apo | gil: "It does not work" is not a very descriptive bug report :P | 00:15 |
| swatTX | [FT]Alex: i was using the gui.. i went System -> Administration ->Restricted Drivers Manager and unchecked the restricted driver | 00:15 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | sakkath: what in gods name have you done to your machine? lol | 00:15 |
| macrobad | gil: if you are root, then 'id -u' should give you 0, otherwise you are not. | 00:15 |
| Sakkath | apo: sounds like what my stepfather says when he says his computer isn't working | 00:15 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: what do you mean? ;x | 00:15 |
| apo | Sakkath: Indeed | 00:15 |
| gil | dont worry , only arrastre (spanish) the file into a terminal and worked | 00:15 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | sakkath: im kidding :P | 00:15 |
| Prefix100 | Alan_M, oh i have had problems, but the support here is just so active that they dont last long, the worst of which would probly be wireless because i installed ndiswrapper when i didnt need to :/ | 00:15 |
| apo | -_-" | 00:16 |

| swatTX | [FT]Alex: before it could finish the screen went blank and I had to power it off (ctrl+alt+SysRq+ various keys) | 00:16 |
| prince_jammys | apo: he probably wasnt in the directory where the file is | 00:16 |
| Pelo | gil, you need to rememeber that linux is case sensitive, File is not the same as file , capital letters count | 00:16 |

| [FT]Alex | swatTX - hmm. tried "modprobe vesa" or something similar? I'm clutching at straws now... does initramfs give you an error? | 00:17 |
| Prefix100 | is there a good irc client for ubuntu? | 00:17 |
| swatTX | what does "The creation of swap space in partition #5 of IDE1 master (hda) failed" mean? I got the message when trying to do a fresh install (again) | 00:17 |
| Prefix100 | that highlights etc | 00:17 |

| hekatontarchos | does anyone know where I can find one? | 00:17 |
| prettyricky | so go to medibuntu? | 00:17 |
| macrobad | kenro: Well, it is. I just keep confusing manga and anime, and keep being corrected each time. I am wondering why are there so many manga and anime fans in *nix community? | 00:17 |
| apo | Prefix100: irssi | 00:17 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: another thing is that i don't know if i've ever used usb1 vs the new usb... | 00:17 |

| Pelo | swatTX, try prepartitionning your hdd before starting the installer , you can do it from gnome partiton editor in the admin menu of the live cd desktop , use manual partitonning during the install to point to the correct partitons | 00:19 |
| swatTX | Pelo, it shows my HD as unallocated | 00:20 |

| prettyricky | well not package but a list. Theres no where in there to download anything | 00:21 |

| IanLiu | is there a way to install cutting-edge apps? | 00:24 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | kenro: likes Ford Escorts and listens to Trance cd's | 00:24 |

| matttail | Im having a problem with my keyboard and afresh install of ubuntu. I cant type apostrophe or double quotes. How do I fix this? | 00:24 |
| bruenig | IanLiu: use a different distro, ubuntu is meant to be way behind | 00:24 |
| prince_jammys | kenro: a chav is like a brit hipster | 00:24 |
| danand | steven_ - ok try restarting alsa then try again. to restart alsa type sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 00:24 |
| macrobad | kenro: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav Urbandictionary is good too. | 00:24 |
| BellaD | I have done all that | 00:24 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | kenro: they often use words like 'brap' or 'brutha' and speak like londoners, even though they live in Somerset | 00:24 |
| * nickrud wonders how 3-9 months can be 'way behind' | 00:24 | |
| Pelo | [FT]Alex, I didn'T read that part I just read where he said the installer failed to create the swap , don't know about the rest | 00:24 |
| BellaD | Pelo i have done all that | 00:24 |
| IanLiu | bruenig: Thats for stability purposes? | 00:24 |
| Pelo | nickrud, welcome to computer time | 00:25 |
| bruenig | IanLiu: I don't know what the excuse is | 00:25 |

| thesurvivorman | getdeb has pidgin 2.4 | 00:25 |
| Pelo | BellaD, any special chipset ? | 00:25 |
| nickrud | !stable | 00:25 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | 00:25 |
| bruenig | IanLiu: mistrust of user competence probably | 00:25 |
| danand | steven_ - :( | 00:25 |
| Prefix100 | steven_ - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 read that if you havnt already i guess | 00:25 |

| kenro | NinjaPlimsoles: Ever known a chav from Selma alabama? Or is this so exclusive to UK? | 00:25 |
| Lasivian | cpk1: Hermes I, it works with the basic Orinoco driver, but there is no monitor mode | 00:26 |
| prince_jammys | its a UK thing | 00:26 |
| steven_ | danand: Definitely :( | 00:26 |
| musashi | after setting up raid 1, my computer no longer boots. it hangs for a while, resumes and then dumps to (initramfs). my system worked fine with raid set up but not mirroring. last night i did "mdadm /dev/md1 -G -n 2" or order to get it mirror. That's all i did. now it doesn't boot. any help? | 00:26 |
| macrobad | kenro: English is not my native language, so I may not know some slight differences. | 00:26 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | kenro: the name is exclusive, but im sure you get yobs where you live | 00:26 |
| miticopuma | Ciao a tutti!!! | 00:26 |
| BellaD | no used to work | 00:26 |
| macrobad | kenro: How would you call that type of guys? | 00:26 |
| danand | steven_ - does lsmod | grep intel give you snd-hda-intel? | 00:27 |
| BellaD | Pelo it still worked this morning | 00:27 |
| prince_jammys | macrobad: hipsters | 00:27 |
| Pelo | BellaD, have you tried booting the previous kernel see if the sound works wit that ? | 00:27 |
| BellaD | appears as installed | 00:27 |
| Pelo | BellaD, what havwe you dones snce this morning ? | 00:27 |
| steven_ | danand: Yep, snd_hda_intel - 263712 - 1 | 00:27 |
| BellaD | but no icon in tray | 00:27 |
| BellaD | and no sound | 00:27 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Pelo: well first, i got up and had a piece of toast | 00:27 |
| kenro | macrobad: Frankly, I'm not up on currentish slang... | 00:28 |
| matttail | my single qoute/double quote key is acting at an accecent make key ex: ó but the keyboard layout is set to US 104 key | 00:28 |
| swatTX | Pelo: when manually creating the partitions do i need to specify a mount point? | 00:28 |
| Logan | hello all | 00:28 |
| Pelo | BellaD, the no icon in the tray is usualy indicative that your user does not have permision to use the sound device , check in menu > system > admain > user, under your username, properties, see that that box is checked | 00:28 |
| prettyricky | thanks guys google earth worked | 00:28 |
| BellaD | booting previous kernel? tell me more how do I do that? | 00:28 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | swatXT: the mountpoint is only assigned when you umount it | 00:28 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | swatXT: all linux volumes are virtual | 00:28 |
| swatTX | NinjaPlimsoles: thanks | 00:29 |
| Pelo | swatTX, at some point during the install, you will select manual partitioning, the step following the ones that looks liek gparted , you will be given the options to select mount points for your partitions | 00:29 |
| danand | steven_ - i should have checked this first ... are you a member of the audio group. type groups in a terminal ... if audio is in the list you are | 00:29 |
| Prefix100 | oh btw, when you plug an ipod into ubuntu when its been in xp, do you have to format it or something? | 00:29 |
| BellaD | As I I have stated earlier all user privilege boxes are checked | 00:30 |
| steven_ | danand: Yeah, I am. | 00:30 |
| cpk1 | Lasivian: what version orinoco driver you have? | 00:30 |
| Logan | I have a question, i'm a noob and trying to install ubuntu 7.10 , no matter what option i select when the ubuntu boot menu apears i get a command screen saying (initramfs) any ideas, please?? | 00:30 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Prefix100: no, but you do if it touches a Mac | 00:30 |
| Prefix100 | ahh yeah kk | 00:30 |
| Pelo | BellaD, if it is a permission problem which i think it is , booting the previous kernel will not change the outcome, but to boot the previous kernel, just hit esc aftter the bios stuff when you boot, that will give you the grub boot menu, you can select from tehre, usualy about 4 lines down | 00:30 |
| Sakkath | NinjaPlimsoles: 045e:008c is the id from lsusb | 00:30 |
| Prefix100 | cause my friends ipod got owned by plugging it in to my pc ^^ | 00:31 |
| Pelo | BellaD, the user priviledged for your username, not for root, just saying | 00:31 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Prefix100, lol | 00:31 |
| [FT]Alex | quick question - is virtualisation for gaming still a bad idea? | 00:31 |
| macrobad | kenro: Well, I am not up to it too, definitly, and rather picking up some from movies and web. At any rate, I'll presume in America these guys are called hipsters, and in UK -- charvs, and they don't watch anime or manga! | 00:31 |
| Kl4m | [FT]Alex: Yes. | 00:31 |
| bittin | [FT]Alex: yepp | 00:31 |
| [FT]Alex | :( | 00:31 |
| swatTX | Pelo: when i create new partition I have the option for primary or logical. which do i use (sorry never done a manual install before) | 00:31 |
| [FT]Alex | thanks guys | 00:31 |
| Kl4m | Maybe not with hypervisors type stuff | 00:31 |
| cpk1 | wine/cedega does a good job though [FT]Alex | 00:31 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | macrobad, geeks watch anime....... i am a geek ^^ | 00:31 |
| Kl4m | but virtualisation à la VMWare is still no | 00:32 |
| BellaD | I will try the kernel option I have tried so many things | 00:32 |
| Prefix100 | wine is so good | 00:32 |
| BellaD | thanks lets see | 00:32 |
| [FT]Alex | cpk1, yeah. I installed steam through wine but the steam community doesn't work | 00:32 |
| Pelo | swatTX, you can only have up to 4 primary partitons on one hdd, if you are planning to have more then that you can only have 3 primaries and the rest must be logical | 00:32 |
| BellaD | Pelo thank you and maybe........ | 00:32 |
| kenro | macrobad: Sad, but true. I'm not so much weighed down like your typical 43 year old. I'm more... diffusive. To the point I'm trying to learn everything, experience everything, before I die. Who knows? I might not die. | 00:32 |
| cpk1 | [FT]Alex: did you look on wines appdb? they have a lot of workaround for problems and the status on problems for popular games | 00:32 |
| DeLe0n | i had sound working on my hp dv6233se, then i sent it to service, they changed the mobo, and i have no sound ... i've done the possible solutions but still nothing, i have sound in Arch Linux, but not in ubuntu... any suggestions? | 00:32 |
| Prefix100 | [FT]Alex, yeah i had that until i got wine from winehq site instad of the package manager | 00:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Pelo: good practice to use logical for swap? | 00:33 |
| * Pelo beats the floodbots to a bloody pulp | 00:33 | |
| rhineheart_m | is it possible to set SSL redirection to local IP using apache2? | 00:33 |
| Logan | So can anybody help?? Please | 00:33 |
| bittin | but [FT]Alex u can play linux games even if i know sometimes its fun playing with friends :P | 00:33 |
| Pelo | NinjaPlimsoles, by default ubuntu installs the swap as logical , I do the same | 00:33 |
| danand | steven_ - the only thing i can suggest (other than crying) is to look at that link and work through that ... or search for your sound chip on google and see if the ubuntu forums turn anything up - sorry - kinda out of ideas. Tried all I know :( | 00:33 |
| bittin | and iam also misses Steam in osx :( | 00:33 |
| Prefix100 | Logan check the cd interity its like the 4th option or something from the boot cd | 00:33 |
| [FT]Alex | Prefix100 you got IM working in steam? | 00:34 |
| che | i installed realplayer 10 GOLD yesterday but i wanna uninstall today i can't find in package manager how to uninstall it | 00:34 |
| Logan | will do cheers | 00:34 |
| macrobad | NinjaPlimsoles: Do I have to watch anime so that I could be called geek? ^^ | 00:34 |
| Prefix100 | steam friends? | 00:34 |
| steven_ | danand: Haha, I'll see if crying works THEN the URL. Thanks for all the help though. =) | 00:34 |
| Prefix100 | its a bit tempermental | 00:34 |
| kenro | macrobad: What country you in? | 00:34 |
| linuxbomb | I was just in the gentoo room and they told me to type sudo emerge -avD kde-base/kdebase-startkde:kde-4 for kde4 is this right? | 00:34 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | macrobad: nah, you can get the title other ways... like compiling a kernel while drunk | 00:34 |
| Prefix100 | but i type something then close the window then when they reply i get it in like 5 mins or something | 00:34 |
| Pelo | che, did you install real player from a .bin file ? you'll need to rip it out of your system the hardway, by deleting the correct files | 00:34 |
| macrobad | kenro: I would have never guessed your age. Finland, but I am originally from Russia. | 00:34 |
| geek | linuxbomb: for KDE4 on | 00:34 |
| danand | steven_ - np. sorry we can't get it to work - luck though :) | 00:34 |
| [FT]Alex | bittin - :p I've been playing tux racer all day since I got direct rendering working | 00:34 |
| geek | ubuntu, no | 00:34 |
| soundray | linuxbomb: not on Ubuntu, no | 00:34 |
| alesan | hi which program can I use to write some text on a PDF file and then save the newly created pdf? I tired pdfedit but for some reasons it is very slow and does not work well on my pdf files | 00:34 |
| swatTX | Pelo, to use the rest of the space for the /home folder do i need to specify /home as the mount point on that partition? | 00:35 |
| bittin | [FT]Alex: haha ;) u play counter-strike in steam? | 00:35 |
| Pelo | swatTX, yes | 00:35 |
| che | pelo: yeah i installed bin file on my /usr/local/RealPlayer how to delete that files ? | 00:35 |
| linuxbomb | soundray, it says command not found should I get rid of the sudo? | 00:35 |
| Prefix100 | lol i got wine to get my old steam account going _just_ to play audio surf :) | 00:35 |
| * NinjaPlimsoles hides from the .bin file | 00:35 | |
| soundray | alesan: none of the free programs work very well yet. Try flpsed. I got best results by importing PDFs into kword | 00:35 |
| [FT]Alex | bittin - I mostly play tf2. a few friends from my clan tried css one day and got absolutely destroyed | 00:35 |
| Pelo | che, sudo rm /usr/local/RealPlayer | 00:35 |
| hischild | Prefix100, audiosurf is amazing <3 | 00:35 |
| sergevn | does anyone have any experience with xvmc and mplayer? | 00:35 |
| alesan | soundray: interesting. thanks. | 00:36 |

| alesan | soundray: what about non free programs? is there something? | 00:36 |
| Logan | Hey Prefix100, i tried that but got the (initramfs) again does this mean the cd is damaged, i've treid four different ones and keep getting the same thing but the right image is on the desktop, so can't understand? | 00:36 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Prefix100, lol command center? :P | 00:36 |
| soundray | linuxbomb: emerge is not for ubuntu | 00:36 |
| [FT]Alex | I'll check it out, bittin. cheers | 00:36 |
| kenro | macrobad: Fountain of youth, til time itself catches up with you, is to never marry, never specialize. :) Works wonders in your ineffibility. :) | 00:36 |
| macrobad | NinjaPlimsoles: last time I have touched a machine being drunken, I managed to format Dad's flash drive with lots of important info... So, I'd better find other ways, yeah! =) | 00:36 |
| Prefix100 | redownload the image Logan maybe | 00:36 |

| bittin | Hello | 00:37 |
| Lasivian | cpk1: sorry talking to the dev folks about it. I don't know the orinoco version, but it lacks monitor mode | 00:37 |
| Prefix100 | and if that doesnt work out for you order some cds from the site | 00:37 |
| nickrud | they hand off to one another, when they're working right | 00:37 |
| Prefix100 | i think they are free? | 00:37 |
| Logan | hoping not to do that but, hey i got time to spare, it will be worth it, to get rid of windows... | 00:37 |
| Lasivian | it does "work" tho, but I have to add the details by hand | 00:37 |
| soundray | alesan: I mean Adobe Acrobat (as opposed to Adobe Reader) | 00:37 |
| Prefix100 | yeah lol | 00:37 |
| gribouille | when I type dpkg --list, I get the line "Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | 00:37 |

| gribouille | Pelo, I just want to understand how it works | 00:39 |
| Prefix100 | ive only had it for under 3 hours =D | 00:39 |
| LjL | Pelo: there are three because if one fails when a dangerous mode is set on the channel, it's disaster, as well as because they need to work even when the network is split (actually, specifically when it's split) | 00:39 |
| D-Unit | were can i get a .deb of gnomebaker/ | 00:39 |

I just partitioned my drive (for a reinstall), I used gparted on the live-cd and resized and formatted some partitions. Now when I try to install all the partitions are missing (just says unallocated). This is strange since I just installed windows fine on the first partition. When I go into CLI and enter parted the output for print is "Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.".. | 00:49 |

| dxdt | windio00: yeah but that is just one case, and there are a lot of studies and things. Pluse, I think that may have been an error that got fixed eventually or something | 00:50 |

| kenro | if anyone cares, I is afk | 00:51 |
| dxdt | D-Unit: technically, yeah, but you have to make sure you get all of the dependencies. A lot of times one .deb will rely on 2 or 3 others. | 00:51 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, i think so. i got a similar error when installing applications or trying to remove them. it would not work | 00:51 |

| soundray | smacky: that's because you don't have a file mkiso in your root (/) directory | 00:55 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, and the WiFi card works? changing to Xfce gave you this error? | 01:08 |
| arrrghhh | ok, so i have an ssh server running on my machine. if my friend has an account on this machine, what permissions do they need to access ssh? | 01:08 |

| Ezra | here's a doosie: why is there so much more difficult to install shared printer in kubuntu than with the default gnome desktop? | 01:09 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, righty ho, let it do that | 01:18 |
| macrobad | osotogari: If I were you, I'd try to sniff somehow for the command Gnome uses to connect you to the server. For example, 'ps -ef | grep ssh' after the connection is established may provide you with this information. | 01:18 |
| bazhang | posr: wrong channel for that | 01:18 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, what country you from? am thinking england or something. | 01:18 |

| mudasobwa | hello | 01:22 |
| DrBeaverhausen | put sudo before that command? | 01:23 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, how. normal apt-get or something else? | 01:23 |
| polishpaul_ | yoink.. help.. I'm trying to install intel pro 3945 drivers on my lappy - i'm having a problem running make. i followed http://kuscsik.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-install-intel-4965-wireless.html to get started with make | 01:23 |
| bazhang | yes DrBeaverhausen | 01:23 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, sudo apt-get install dhcdbd | 01:23 |
| mudasobwa | comment puis-je installer vista et ubuntu,s'il vous plait ? | 01:23 |
| polishpaul_ | but when i run make i get tons of errors | 01:23 |
| bazhang | mudasobwa: can you speak english please | 01:24 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, get the same error as first one | 01:24 |
| orudie | i'm in putty logged in as administrative user, trying to create a directory and it says permission denied, anyone knows shy? | 01:24 |
| orudie | why | 01:24 |
| kenro | Besides, DrBeaverhausen is trolling enough for both o us. | 01:24 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: that should be in the restricted drivers manager no need to compile | 01:24 |
| mudasobwa | how can I use vista and ubuntu, please ? | 01:24 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, god damn network drivers | 01:24 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, let me rethink, hold on | 01:24 |
| legend2440 | !vista | 01:24 |
| ubotu | vista is the new 'operating system' by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows | 01:24 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, the only thing that i see is my nvidia drivers for the restricted | 01:25 |
| bazhang | mudasobwa: you want to dual boot? which is installed first vista or ubuntu | 01:25 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, how would i enable the wifi drivers? | 01:25 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: make sure the hardware switch for that card is set to on | 01:25 |
| mudasobwa | first vista | 01:25 |
| polishpaul_ | it is | 01:25 |
| darkcrab | i could be wrong, but since vista is NTFS, if its installed first, when you installed ubuntu ubuntu will resize the partition for you, and then install itself in the empty space. I have xp and that is what I did. | 01:25 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, this is what annoys me about Linux, its telling you theres a dependency issue but apt-get install -f wont fix the damn problem | 01:26 |
| bazhang | mudasobwa: just put in the ubuntu livecd; it will see the vista install and ask you if you want to resize the drive during installation | 01:26 |
| mudasobwa | cool | 01:26 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: are you using gutsy? | 01:26 |
| darkcrab | Ninja, you have to add reponsitories. | 01:26 |
| orudie | why cant i make a directory in putty with the same user i use in console ? | 01:26 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, let me try remove the wifi drivers etc. | 01:26 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | mudasobwa: remember, you can DEFLATE a partition, but not ENFLATE it, so make sure its the size you want before creating the partition | 01:26 |
| polishpaul_ | bahzang, yes 7.1 i used this to get started = http://intellinuxwireless.org/index.php?p=iwlwifi&n=howto-iwlwifi | 01:27 |
| mudasobwa | thks | 01:27 |
| darkcrab | yea, and dont shrink a partition too much | 01:27 |
| orudie | someone please help,... why cant i make a directory in putty with the same user i use in console ? | 01:27 |
| Ezra | hw00djohn:try checking out your etc\modprobe.d\alsa-base file.......maybe you've upgraded something and changed it inadvertedly | 01:27 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: intel 3945 is supported in gutsy out of the box; open a terminal and type ifconfig please | 01:28 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | orudie, does sudo mkdir work? | 01:28 |
| * NinjaPlimsoles has terrible pain from a wisdom tooth thats deciding to blow open his gum with C4 | 01:28 | |

| jacob_ | is there a resume templates in open office? | 01:29 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | orudie, no problem mate :) | 01:29 |

| jacob_ | ...like microsoft word? | 01:29 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, 2.6.22-14-generic | 01:29 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | polishpaul_, oh dear | 01:30 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, let me restart in a bit. who knows. maybe the windows solution will work | 01:30 |
| bazhang | jacob_: there are tons of free templates that you can download off the web in that format that open office will deal with; not sure if they come by default however | 01:30 |
| polishpaul_ | ? | 01:30 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, basically, its a dependency problem. something isnt configured somewhere | 01:30 |

| biggahed | hello there. Ive got a notebook which has a hotkey to disable/enable bluetooth/wireless and id like to know how to manually setup those, as theyre not working. Any help would be welcome | 01:31 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, but how do you fix a dependency mismatch when it gives you an error about that package before doing anything? yum! anomalous loop! | 01:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | zioroboco, add iot to the list or use the /server whatever command | 01:31 |

| orudie | bazhang: if i see some file on some website how can i download it through terminal ? | 01:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, i would hazard a guess that Xfce doesnt handle NIC configuration the same as Ubuntu | 01:33 |
| bazhang | orudie: use the command wget | 01:33 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, and now i cannot remove it, as it keeps giving that error. | 01:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, yay for infinite loops | 01:33 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, is there a way to re-install a config without loseing stuff like email etc? like a repair? | 01:34 |

| ader10 | Does anybody know of any software similar to audacity? Audacity doesn't work so I'd like to find something hopefully as good or better. | 01:37 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, would help if i spelt it correctly lol sudo dmesg | grep dhcdbd | 01:37 |

| cube | i use a usb device and the sound is clean | 01:38 |
| Ezra | ader10: you should check out ardour. that is if it's a daw you're after | 01:38 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | Prefix100, VLC > All | 01:39 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: yeah the kernel is fine; it is just odd that it does not work as that the best supported card in all of linux/ubuntu and just works--which is why I suggest trying to boot from a live cd to see if that gets it; if it does then we can narrow down the problem | 01:39 |

| polishpaul_ | bazhang, network settings also show the wireless NIC grayed out | 02:03 |
| polishpaul_ | yeah | 02:03 |
| dft | orudie: man tar will help | 02:03 |
| macrobad | If it is in the Applications menu, you may just click right mouse button and add it to the panel. Otherwise, you have to create a new launcher on the panel. | 02:03 |
| prettyricky | another thing the screen flickers s lot | 02:03 |
| prettyricky | a lot* | 02:03 |
| efren20 | can anyone tell me how to make my pc faster? | 02:03 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: try going into network-manager applet and clicking enable wireless | 02:03 |
| xiven | What is the fix for "No screens found"? | 02:03 |
| usr13 | efren20: Add more memory, install faster processor, etc.. | 02:04 |
| polishpaul_ | efren20, RAID your HDD, get a better proc, more memory, tune-down your graphics | 02:04 |

| efren20 | if i turn it off can i turn it on and the settigns stay same? | 02:04 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, just doing some cleaning. if i respond slowly, please excuse | 02:04 |

| efren20 | bazhang:if i turn off compiz when i turn it back on will it have the setting saed? | 02:05 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, you mean System > administration > network? | 02:05 |
| BellaD | God Ezra I haven't a notion I am out of my depth | 02:05 |
| dft | ninjaP: you mean "man tar" etc? | 02:05 |

| polishpaul_ | bazhang, wireless is enabled | 02:07 |
| luisgmarine | Hey guys. This is sort of a quick / dumb question. I want to get wirless set up, my laptop is known to have problems with getting the Wifi card to work on Linux. How do I check to make sure it's working properly. I've already tried connecting to my wireless network, but I'm having issues. But I don't know if its because the password or because the card doesn't work | 02:07 |
| talcite | anyone? is it possible to highlight specific keywords in gnome-terminal? | 02:07 |
| Scunizi | Evolution will occationally "gray" out and stay that way. I have to kill the process to reload it. Anyone else having these problems or know how to solve them? | 02:07 |

| bazhang | polishpaul_: is the wifi hotspot yours? is it open? | 02:07 |
| efren20 | how do i turn off compiz? | 02:07 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | luisgmarine, make sure the wireless driver is inserted into the kernel | 02:07 |
| Odd-rationale | jatz: Are you sure that is the window title? Because in xfce, the pin button looks like "o" | 02:07 |
| Ezra | bellad: i should tell you that you have to reboot after making this change to the file. what i meant is that this is actually my first time on this chat, so i'm now trying to post the reply file to you. | 02:08 |
| Odd-rationale | gralco: Hi! Enjoying compiz? | 02:08 |
| luisgmarine | NinjaPlimsoles: how do I check that? | 02:08 |
| prettyricky | macrobad---------> ok thank you! I guess thats my outcome as well | 02:08 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, yes, but i think the problem is the wireless isn't working yet.. i can't forexample ifdown eth1 | 02:08 |
| jatz | no, it's the window title | 02:08 |
| gralco | so Ubuntu CE is looking pretty crazy | 02:08 |
| polishpaul_ | says its not configured | 02:08 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, in xfce at the moment, but installed the normal ubuntu syste, | 02:08 |
| dft | ninjaP, not sure about the filtering | 02:08 |
| Nom- | So any ideas about the whacky Etc/GMT+8 timezone doing -8 instead? :/ | 02:08 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | luisgmarine, in a terminal: lsmod | grep nameofyourwirelessdriver | 02:08 |
| macrobad | prettyricky: Not at all. | 02:08 |
| BellaD | why don't you paste bin? | 02:08 |
| Odd-rationale | jatz: OK. don't know then. Sorry. | 02:08 |
| efren20 | how do i turn off compiz | 02:08 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, those errors happen no matter which one i am in | 02:08 |
| jatz | or rather, you're right | 02:08 |
| jatz | haha | 02:08 |
| jatz | Odd-rationale: thanks lots, I'm silly | 02:08 |
| gralco | Odd-rationale: yep 3d windows are pretty crazy | 02:08 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, so it gave that error before installing Xfce? | 02:08 |
| luisgmarine | NinjaPlimsoles: I'm not sure what driver it uses, rather I don't even know if linux detects it | 02:09 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: then configure it please then try the following in the terminal sudo dhclient eth1 (eth0 is ethernet right?) | 02:09 |
| trogdorr | I did apt-get install linux-rt, how can i check to make sure the rt kernel is installed? | 02:09 |

| efren20 | scunizi:and when want to turn it back on i put it on extra? | 02:10 |
| Prefix100 | luuisgmarine, type ifconfig and see if it picks it up | 02:10 |
| gralco | ubuntu SE is looken crazy | 02:10 |
| Prefix100 | should say wlan 0 or something | 02:10 |
| mudasobwa | what is clamvar et where to find it, please ? | 02:10 |
| Scunizi | efren20, or just one step up.. each step has more effects | 02:10 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, yes eth0 is ethernet. does dhclient force dhcp on that nic? | 02:10 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, only after installing it, but if i log into gnome or xfce it gives it | 02:10 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, did not get dhcp | 02:11 |
| trogdorr | I did apt-get install linux-rt, how can i check to make sure the rt kernel is installed? | 02:11 |
| Photocopy | awh damnit | 02:11 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, i think you ought to backup your data and install Xubuntu | 02:11 |
| efren20 | scunizi:ok but when i want to turn it back on do i have to put it on extrra | 02:11 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: well if you are using ethernet now then the wireless will stay inactive | 02:11 |
| Scunizi | efren20, no | 02:11 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, i really can't find any more info about the error, most sites arent even helpful | 02:11 |

| polishpaul_ | bazhang, no i unplugged ethenet.. but i just relized, i do have a password on the wireless router | 02:12 |
| luisgmarine | Ok I see that it is enabled under System > Network | 02:12 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, really Xfce will be fine for your purpose | 02:15 |

| posr | does Geforce 9600 works on ubuntu? how about drivers? | 02:17 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | prettyricky, Compiz and Beryl have merged :) it is now called Compiz-Fusion | 02:17 |
| ThreeFingerPete | eidolon: your motherboard has to support it for starters | 02:17 |

| prettyricky | i see ty | 02:17 |
| Leeuw | yep, just installed X-chat | 02:17 |

| prince_jammys | spudratic0: lshw, lspci, lsusb | 02:17 |
| TrustNoOne | posr, does nvidia support site have drivers for linux on that card? if not, you can try to install the nvidia restricted drivers on ubuntu and see if that works | 02:18 |
| spudratic0 | thanks men | 02:18 |
| Leeuw | trying with this username, firast it said it existed, but now I'm online ?!? | 02:18 |

| HinHin | yes it does | 02:18 |
| posr | TrustNoOne ok thanks | 02:18 |
| posr | great | 02:18 |
| posr | i try | 02:18 |
| BellaD | Ezra no worries? are you in Oz? | 02:18 |
| efren20 | can any one tell me how to turn compiz back on when i turn it off. | 02:19 |
| Leeuw | good; still doesn't make much sense; wanted to use pidgin, but couldn't without account; Leeuw is now my account or what ? | 02:19 |
| l815 | efren20, System > Preferences > Appearance, the last tab is where you turn it off and on | 02:19 |
| trogdorr | bazhang, it looks like its installed (its in the grub menu) but its not default, how do i make it default? | 02:19 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, you there? | 02:19 |
| l815 | efren20, or if you want to do it easier type "Alt+f2 , compiz --replace" | 02:19 |
| efren20 | ok and when i wana turn it on i untap none? | 02:19 |
| darkcrab | Leeuw, why dont you understand that you need an account for pidgin? | 02:19 |
| l815 | efren20, yes to turn it off check none | 02:20 |
| efren20 | and to turn it on check? wat | 02:20 |
| bazhang | heh | 02:20 |
| Ezra | bellad i wish, but no such luck | 02:20 |
| l815 | efren20, any of the other options depending how much goodies you want :p | 02:20 |
| TrustNoOne | posr, the nvidia site does have linux drivers for the 9600 GT card, but personally I would try the nvidia restricted drivers that come with ubuntu first, if that doesnt work, then try the one on nvidia support site | 02:20 |
| Leeuw | I do understand, but in the howto of x-chat there's mention of a password, I didn't need it here, so how cann I log in with pidgin ? | 02:20 |
| efren20 | extar would do good on compiz? | 02:20 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, yip | 02:20 |
| Leeuw | And is Leeuw now my account, or just a nickname for this chat today | 02:21 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, will ifconfig now | 02:21 |
| Munhentos | I'm trying to setup X forward via ssh but not seems to work | 02:21 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58563/ | 02:21 |
| darkcrab | ummm...pidgin uses aol, yahoo, msn, and jabber leeuw, you have to have one of those accounts to access Pidgin services, which in reality is only an outlet for one of those services | 02:21 |
| BellaD | Ireland here lol | 02:22 |
| Munhentos | already configure sshd_config, calling ssh -X -Y, but it nevers sets the DISPLAY variable | 02:22 |
| darkcrab | if you dont know that, im not sure you really should be uses linux. | 02:22 |
| Leeuw | pdgin also uses IRC, no ? | 02:22 |
| darkcrab | but good luck with that. | 02:22 |
| darkcrab | think so yea. | 02:22 |
| Munhentos | netstat says no one is listening at port 6000 | 02:22 |
| Munhentos | any idea? | 02:22 |
| ThreeFingerPete | Leeuw: yes, pidgin does IRC. i had problems though | 02:22 |
| Leeuw | so how can I log in to this channel with Pidgin ? | 02:22 |
| cube | !offtopic | 02:22 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 02:22 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/dhcdbd restart | 02:23 |
| Photocopy | Do emerald and beryl really use up a crapload of crap? theyre using 60% of my 512 mb ram... | 02:23 |
| chuckf | is there a trick to getting gutsy to work with samba shares? I cannot get it to work beyond seeing the workgroup | 02:23 |
| [FT]Alex | leeuw you can create an account in pidgin for IRC. you don't need to sign up for one, it just saves some settings | 02:23 |
| Leeuw | am I off-topic ? | 02:23 |
| darkcrab | why not just use x-chat Leeuw | 02:23 |
| Leeuw | yeah, makes sense... | 02:23 |
| TrustNoOne | Photocopy, i am using beryl and lots of compiz fusion settings, i have 1gb of ram and it is 55% full by the time i turn my pc on | 02:23 |
| Paper_App | help me..... my desktop windows are very.. but.. very slow!!!!! | 02:23 |
| Ezra | pc: yes, they do. at least video-mem | 02:24 |
| Photocopy | TrustNoOne: Okay... And what does my swap partition do? | 02:24 |
| darkcrab | computer specs Paper App | 02:24 |
| [FT]Alex | for other services, you need to sign up first. but for irc you can just enter a nick and connect | 02:24 |
| Leeuw | so, on xchat, reason I wanted on this channel is problem with drives; right channel here ? | 02:24 |
| Photocopy | TrustNoOne: Its at 0% of 7 gb.... i know its big, i had extra. | 02:24 |
| darkcrab | yup | 02:24 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Photocopy, acts like a windows pagefile | 02:24 |
| darkcrab | as long as your using ubuntu | 02:24 |
| [FT]Alex | haha | 02:24 |
| Photocopy | NinjaPlimsoles: Oh, thats a better more organized way to do it.. GJ ubuntu. | 02:24 |
| squid_ | hallo..... | 02:25 |
| squid_ | hi.... | 02:25 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Photocopy, GJ linux ;) | 02:25 |
| Leeuw | good: problem is this: had all my NTFS-drives on desktop (quite a lot), after boot with windows they dissappear. | 02:25 |
| TrustNoOne | Photocopy, your swap does not have to be larger than 512mb, it is just like a page file in windows (uses it if your ram is full) | 02:25 |
| Leeuw | can get them back with parted, but makes no sense to have to do averytime | 02:25 |
| Photocopy | TrustNoOne: Yeah, I know, isnt the rule of thumb twice your ram? | 02:25 |
| Photocopy | NinjaPlimsoles: Right, i forgotted. | 02:25 |
| [FT]Alex | so I left my computer for a while, and when I came back my usb keyboard and mouse had stopped working. I can't find a fix for it online except for disabling powernowd. is this the solution? | 02:26 |
| cellofellow | hello. I'm having a bit of trouble with Firestarter. | 02:26 |
| Leeuw | @photocopy: one and a half times ram actually | 02:26 |
| Paper_App | ... my partitions are DEFAULT by ubuntu 7.10.... i have a D865G Intel Videl Card.. (64Mb) | 02:26 |
| TrustNoOne | Photocopy, no, it is min 256 (i think) and max 1gb, it CAN be twice your ram, but if you have 4gb, 8gb for swap is just a waste | 02:26 |
| D-Unit | is there an ebook that tells u how to use cinelerra (not a website) | 02:26 |
| Photocopy | NinjaPlimsoles: I also want to put a baby on a partition so I can boot it once in a while. | 02:26 |
| Photocopy | TrustNoOne: Doesn't bother me. | 02:26 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | photocopy, is baby licensed under the GNU/GPL? | 02:26 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, sudo: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/dhcdbd: command not found | 02:26 |
| TrustNoOne | Photocopy, ya thats fine, its just like 6gb of porn you cant store | 02:26 |
| darkcrab | Leeuw, you said after boot with windows: if you are not currently using Ubuntu, a linux distribution, but instead having problems with microsoft windows, join #windows please. | 02:27 |
| Photocopy | NinjaPlimsoles: haha | 02:27 |
| Paper_App | Avan Windows Navigator has been destroy my SPEED | 02:27 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Paper_App, kill -9 | 02:27 |
| darkcrab | If I misunderstood, please rephrase your question more clearly. | 02:27 |
| Photocopy | TrustNoOne: lol, only stuff I DL in masses is music. | 02:27 |
| cellofellow | I have a laptop, so I want to lock it down while on the road, but NetworkManager scews around with Firestarter. Firestarter refuses to start at boot, for one. It also complains about my two NIC's (one Wireless using NDISWrapper, the other is a regular onboard Ethernet.) | 02:27 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | capine, ugh... lol | 02:27 |
| Logan | Hello all, Please help i'm seriously loosing it now | 02:27 |
| polishpaul_ | bazhang, haha, it was OK this whole time! I thought i had to go through the network settings GUI.. thanks for the help! | 02:27 |
| Leeuw | nonononono, am using UBUNTU all the time; convinced novice on UBUNTU, somewhat more experience with other linuxes; use winddows once in a while for stuff that linux can't (not much) | 02:28 |
| === `m0 is now known as m0 | ||
| Alan_M | Logan, please ask your question. | 02:28 |
| amenado | how does grub creates the stage1 1.5 and 2? or does one know the script thats is run by install to create these? I just installed the ubuntu 7.10 from a hard disk, ie hd to hd..but /boot/grub was not created nor the stage1 1.5 and 2 | 02:28 |
| Leeuw | have dual boot, Usse ? | 02:28 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, this is proving to be a challenge. wish i had installed xubuntu from the beg | 02:28 |
| TrustNoOne | cellofellow, firestarter is just to manage your firewall, your firewall is always running in linux, you can start firestarter and go to load list to see the blocks it did | 02:28 |
| darkcrab | cellofellow firestarter does not need to be running for your firewall to work. | 02:28 |
| Ezra | logan: what up, logan? | 02:28 |
| Paper_App | I has been uninstal Avant.... buy my computer is slow (After it ) | 02:28 |
| Logan | i've tried to install ubuntu 7.10 but i get the menu and any option i select leaves me at (initramfs). i reburned so many copyes but still the same i even downloaded a fresh copy | 02:28 |
| bazhang | polishpaul_: ah good to hear; nice work! | 02:28 |
| Logan | what could be wrong? | 02:28 |
| Leeuw | but have my data on NTFS, to read in both linux and windoze | 02:28 |
| cellofellow | ok, this makes sense | 02:29 |
| amenado | Logan you have done a cdrom media check? | 02:29 |
| Photocopy | Has anyone here gotten Warsow 0.42 to work on ubuntu? For me, the script runs and nothing happenzorz. | 02:29 |
| Starnestommy | Logan: have you tried the alternate CD? | 02:29 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, this is a right headache | 02:29 |
| Alan_M | Logan, i have had the same issue...i have no clue what causes it...but i suggest...what Starnestommy says :) | 02:29 |
| maria_ | 12345 | 02:29 |
| cellofellow | but I'm thinking that the firestarter daemon does something special. Does it set up the iptables stuff? | 02:29 |
| platyhelminth | hi, How to minimize a full screen programm ? | 02:29 |
| Logan | i haven't but will try | 02:29 |
| Starnestommy | cellofellow: it does | 02:29 |
| darkcrab | ok, so your saying when you boot into Ubuntu, it is not recognizing your harddrives Leeuw? | 02:29 |
| amenado | cellofellow-> it uses the iptables | 02:30 |
| Ezra | logan: have you done a fresh install, or is there an old grup inst. there? | 02:30 |
| === lipsinOffline1 is now known as lipsin | ||
| Alan_M | Logan, yes, go try that, if that works, great, if not..we will be here ;) | 02:30 |
| cellofellow | I have usplash disabled, so I see my init output, and firestarter fails when booting. | 02:30 |
| Photocopy | wtf! Nautilus is taking up 10% of my ram and all I have open is pidgin!!! | 02:30 |
| amenado | how does grub creates the stage1 1.5 and 2? or does one know the script thats is run by install to create these? I just installed the ubuntu 7.10 from a hard disk, ie hd to hd..but /boot/grub was not created nor the stage1 1.5 and 2..i thought i'd be sneaky and install from hd.. | 02:30 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, sudo depmod -a | 02:30 |
| Leeuw | it was at first, but after one boot with XP, they disappeared; after some time reappeared, after another boot windows disappeared again; I think reappearing had to do with using parted | 02:30 |
| Alan_M | !wtf | photocopy | 02:30 |
| ubotu | photocopy: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 02:30 |
| Leeuw | want to have'm all the time | 02:30 |
| Logan | wait, lol where do i get that? i'm on the download page which one is the alternate cd? | 02:30 |
| Logan | theres xp on the pc but thats going | 02:31 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | !rtfm Alan_M | 02:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rtfm alan_m - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:31 |
| polishpaul_ | wtf-ing is not ok? | 02:31 |
| platyhelminth | How to minimize a full screen programm ? | 02:31 |
| TrustNoOne | wow thats irony, !wtf being a trigger for saying wtf... | 02:31 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | whoopsie | 02:31 |
| darkcrab | well, even though they did you show up in your desktop, did they show up in ubuntu's file manager Leeuw? | 02:31 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, did it. no output. | 02:31 |
| darkcrab | did not | 02:31 |
| Photocopy | Seriously | 02:31 |
| Leeuw | they appear empty in /dev, strange huh ? | 02:31 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, ok hmmmmmmm | 02:31 |
| Photocopy | IDC about the stupid "wtf" | 02:31 |
| Logan | lol, just copt it | 02:31 |
| cellofellow | Firestarter I don't like. I wish there was a slightly smarter firewall for linux. | 02:31 |
| TrustNoOne | someone should probably change that trigger :p "to make it more family friendly" | 02:31 |
| * Alan_M looks at NinjaPlimsoles | 02:31 | |
| Leeuw | and not appear in file manager | 02:31 |
| Photocopy | How come nautilus which isnt running, takes 10% of my mem? | 02:32 |
| Leeuw | firts they did | 02:32 |
| Photocopy | Thats horrible | 02:32 |
| Alan_M | Yes sir? | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | Photocopy: it is running. It manages the desktop and file browisng | 02:32 |
| TrustNoOne | cellofellow, firestarter is not a firewall, it is just a program to manage the firewall already in linux. you can download and install other ones if you want, but it isnt that necessary, the ip tables in linux do a great job as it is | 02:32 |
| darkcrab | cellofellow, oh ignorant one, you only run firestarter once, it just a config utility, the actual firewall is command-line based. | 02:32 |
| Logan | okay downloading now and again the waiting game. | 02:32 |
| CaymanAlligator | nautilus is always running | 02:32 |
| Photocopy | Starnestommy: Well I figured that, but 10%? I dont even have icons on my desktop! | 02:32 |
| gralco | later guys | 02:32 |
| * NinjaPlimsoles smiles at Alan_M | 02:32 | |
| CaymanAlligator | it's like explorer in windows | 02:32 |
| cellofellow | I mean, why does it have to interface dependant? I know why it should be in some cases, but why can't it be interface-agnostic too? (So as to protect on both eth0 and wlan0)? | 02:32 |
| Starnestommy | Photocopy: how much ram do you have? | 02:32 |
| polishpaul_ | where are the boot parameters in linux again? For example, i don't want to mount all the partitions on my HDD.. | 02:33 |
| * Alan_M backspaces the command i was gonna throw at NinjaPlimsoles and smiles | 02:33 | |
| Photocopy | Starnestommy: 512mb | 02:33 |
| BPositive | I'm trying to install ubuntu-desktop on top of ubuntu server, I tried to by running "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" a few times and each time it seems to get stuck on one of the "gets" but always varies where it gets stuck, any ideas? | 02:33 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: man iptables, have fun | 02:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | ok ok alan, i missed the pipe :( | 02:33 |
| amenado | cellofellow-> what do you mean interface dependant? | 02:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | !rtfm | Alan_M | 02:33 |
| ubotu | Alan_M: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 02:33 |
| Ezra | logan: no, i mean, did you format the partitions used to install ubuntu, or did you use an old ext3 partition when installing? | 02:33 |
| cellofellow | darkcrab: Ok, don't call me ignorant, I didn't know precisely how it works, but I've twiddled in iptables before. | 02:33 |
| TrustNoOne | hmm what is jfgi | 02:33 |
| Photocopy | never heard of rtfm... | 02:33 |
| Alan_M | And...yet..i didnt say them :) | 02:33 |
| darkcrab | Leeuw, which did you install first, windows and your drives or ubuntu? | 02:33 |
| Photocopy | Someone wanna PM it to me? | 02:33 |
| Alan_M | i was warning another user about that. | 02:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | i know LO]# | 02:33 |
| Logan | also i have a question... i have a Dell 1721.. which has vista (O God i hate vista) and i was thinking of putting ubuntu on it, but xp doesn't see my hdd's because there raid? Vista bearly does needs drivers. will ubuntu see it? | 02:33 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | hmm... | 02:34 |
| bruenig | TrustNoOne: something which solves 90% of the problems in this channel | 02:34 |
| Leeuw | first windows, already there for year, now UBUNTU about a month | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | amenado: if I plug in my wired connection, all ports are now open on that interface, because I configured firestarter to block on wlan0 instead. | 02:34 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: use iptables | 02:34 |
| TrustNoOne | Logan, no it shouldnt NEED the drivers for raid as they are already there, but you can install them if it doesnt recognize it | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | :( | 02:34 |
| platyhelminth | How to minimize a full screen programm ? someone know how to do it ? | 02:34 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: if the dinky front end doesn't do it, use the real thing | 02:34 |
| darkcrab | Leeuw, what version of ubuntu do you have? | 02:34 |
| bruenig | platyhelminth: depends on the window manager | 02:34 |
| Logan | Sorry Ezra, i didn't get to any point to do that the menu booted up i selected any one it did the bar loading thing and then bam (initramfs) | 02:34 |
| cellofellow | I find iptables to be very complicated and static. I wanted something quick and dynamic. Maybe I'm just lazy. | 02:34 |
| Leeuw | Gutsy | 02:34 |
| dft | Logan: which PERC controller do you have | 02:34 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: static? | 02:35 |
| amenado | cellofellow-> well firestarter has to be told which interface is exposed to the wild net, and which interface is considered your local lan | 02:35 |
| Logan | PERC?? | 02:35 |
| Ezra | logan: check with the live cd function. all partitions should be visible there. | 02:35 |
| Alan_M | firestarter is awesome :) | 02:35 |
| dft | Logan: sry, PERC=poweredge raid controller | 02:35 |
| Leeuw | @playty : use alt-tab | 02:35 |
| cellofellow | amenado: yes, I've used it for a gateway before. | 02:35 |
| amenado | cellofellow-> it does take a while to understand iptables. | 02:35 |
| dft | I'm stuck in Dell server land | 02:35 |
| darkcrab | ok, Leeuw, your welcome to stay in the chat and ask anyone here, but I recommend that you search the ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/ | 02:36 |
| BPositive | Any ideas why "apt-get" gets stuck in the process of its gets and just sits there? | 02:36 |
| * NinjaPlimsoles is inventing a Linux-powered Rice Injector | 02:36 | |
| cellofellow | bruenig: set the conf file, and it can't dynamically adapt to needs. Static. I might be wrong, maybe being dynamic is a bad thing. | 02:36 |
| Ezra | logan: ok. so you're not able to run from the live cd at all? | 02:36 |
| Leeuw | did, can't find... What keyword you suggest ? | 02:36 |
| Logan | WEll i never tried the live cd | 02:36 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: how does it know what needs are | 02:36 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: where does it get this information? | 02:36 |
| darkcrab | not detecting NTFS | 02:36 |
| * Alan_M is inventing the most mobile ubuntu ever Mobuntu..comes with an electric wheelchair NinjaPlimsoles :P | 02:36 | |
| amenado | how does install creates the stage1 1.5 and 2? or does one know the script that is run by install to create these? I just installed the ubuntu 7.10 from a hard disk, ie hd to hd..but /boot/grub was not created nor the stage1 1.5 and 2..i thought i'd be sneaky and install from hd.. | 02:36 |
| cellofellow | bruenig: I get it. | 02:36 |
| Sakkath | where can i find deb repository | 02:36 |
| darkcrab | or NTFS issues in Gutsy | 02:36 |
| Logan | i just downloaded the 7.10 image file | 02:36 |
| Leeuw | OK thanx | 02:37 |
| Sakkath | i have to get gnome-ppp deb file and put it to a disc | 02:37 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: so you want the yet to be contrived off omniscient firewall | 02:37 |
| Sakkath | so my ubuntu machine can get on internet! | 02:37 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | im an electric wheelchair? | 02:37 |
| bruenig | cellofellow: perhaps there is a firewall that has a conf file that you just type "do good stuff" in it and it works | 02:37 |
| dft | Logan, burn that image and boot from it | 02:37 |
| cellofellow | ah, well, firestarter is decent for a desktop. | 02:37 |
| bruenig | that would suffice | 02:37 |
| Leeuw | other question: How come answer to me turns red ? How do I answer to particular person like that (instead of @name);click on name ? | 02:37 |
| bruenig | of* | 02:37 |
| Alan_M | read it again NinjaPlimsoles :) | 02:37 |
| nwahsadude | what is firestarter? | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis_ | i recall some firewall front end to do the basics.. :) but i forget its name. | 02:38 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | alan_m, no comma :P | 02:38 |
| cellofellow | bruenig: please cut the sarcasm. I get it, ok? I'm not a newb, at least with most things. iptables I'm a little woozy of. | 02:38 |
| Dr_willis_ | !tab | Leeuw | 02:38 |
| ubotu | Leeuw: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:38 |
| amenado | Leeuw-> thats calle highlighting | 02:38 |
| Alan_M | !firestarter | nwahsadude | 02:38 |
| ubotu | nwahsadude: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 02:38 |
| Ezra | logan: my point is that if you can run ubuntu from the cd, then you can probably install it and make changes to the partitions as you see fit. | 02:38 |
| dft | cellofellow: www.fwbuilder.org | 02:38 |
| polishpaul_ | how do i define what drives get mounted during boot? | 02:38 |
| Leeuw | amenado is this how ? | 02:38 |
| amenado | Leeuw-> affirmative | 02:39 |
| Leeuw | just the name in front ? | 02:39 |
| cellofellow | firewall is working, nmap can't see a thing from my server | 02:39 |
| dft | I haven't used it in ages but it was neat gui for different fw's | 02:39 |
| jrib | !fstab > polishpaul_ (read the private message from ubotu) | 02:39 |
| cellofellow | had to pass it -P0 even to see the IP address. | 02:39 |
| Dr_willis_ | polishpaul_, the /etc/fstab defines most of the mount points. | 02:39 |
| Logan | dft: it's an ATI Raid controller | 02:39 |
| polishpaul_ | jrib ty! | 02:39 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | polishpaul_, sudo gedit /etc/fstab is the place to look | 02:39 |
| spyd3r | i cannot get the d-pad to work on my usb gamepad | 02:40 |

| BellaD | I can't save the file I modified | 02:41 |
| jrib | BellaD: what file? | 02:42 |
| darkcrab | why not just use the alternate install? | 02:42 |

| Leetbumble | anyone know where pidgin stores its convo logs in ubuntu? | 02:42 |
| cellofellow | the way to remove completely firestarter is the purge it, right? | 02:42 |
| D-Unit | is it possible to compress everything the way u can on an ntfs partition in windows xp? | 02:43 |
| jrib | Leetbumble: ~/.purple/logs/ | 02:43 |
| ngiringbingah | need help to configure netmos pci in ubuntu... | 02:43 |
| darkcrab | dont think you need to | 02:43 |
| BellaD | just opened the alsa file in a text editor pasted and had to write the numbers and can't save now | 02:43 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: make a big tar.bz2 file | 02:43 |
| amenado | bazhang i have to mount the liveCd iso, then copy all the contents of that expanded iso into a directory and modify my linux menu.lst to point to that directory to run live | 02:43 |
| * NinjaPlimsoles just bought a linux-powered toaster off Ebay | 02:43 | |
| jrib | BellaD: tell us the exact file | 02:43 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, There are some FUSE tools that can compress on the fly - sort of.. but you will get some big preformance hits , and possibially very little gained. | 02:43 |
| Ezra | bellad: i mean sometimes your root priveliges aren't following opening of a file. but you're probably using terminal | 02:43 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | cellofellow, that would lead to a decompression bomb | 02:44 |
| darkcrab | fyi, the compression utility in windows doesnt really work. | 02:44 |
| bazhang | amenado: very elegant; thanks! | 02:44 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, talk to me more bout this :) | 02:44 |
| cellofellow | NinjaPlimsoles: depends on how much ram you have to spare. | 02:44 |
| Leetbumble | thanks jrib | 02:44 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, cuz i need to backup dvd's all on ~8.7 gb of hd space | 02:44 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | cellofellow, untaring a 10gb+ file? | 02:44 |
| BellaD | alsa -base no I was not using a terminal just a text editor damn | 02:44 |
| cellofellow | whatever | 02:44 |
| darkcrab | thats why you dont see pages of tech documents for windows saying: make sure to you the compression feature. | 02:45 |
| orudie | which terminal command is for creating an empty txt file ? | 02:45 |
| darkcrab | because it sucks | 02:45 |
| orudie | NinjaPlimsoles: which terminal command is for creating an empty txt file ? | 02:45 |
| Starnestommy | orudie: touch file.txt | 02:45 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | beat me to it :P | 02:45 |
| amenado | bazhang-> i tried a bit further...install the ubuntu from that livecd(from hd now) but am running into a lil problem, it did not create the stage 1 1.5 and 2 | 02:45 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: you could fit one ISO file. I suggest using AcidRip and encoding to XviD or x264 to save some space. | 02:45 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, i would suggest compressing the indvidual files, not the whole disk. | 02:45 |
| Ezra | bellad: try to open the file from the menu in the editor. this has worked for me | 02:45 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | orudie, or type nano, edit, then save | 02:46 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, i want the dvd to be exactly like my original xept compressed to a 4.7 gb dvd | 02:46 |
| BellaD | which menu? | 02:46 |
| knoppix_ | have been duel booting and reinstalled window with xp pro how do i rewrite grub to the mbr ? | 02:46 |
| Dr_willis_ | !info k9copy | D-Unit | 02:47 |
| ubotu | d-unit: k9copy (source: k9copy): DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.3-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1409 kB, installed size 2748 kB | 02:47 |
| bazhang | amenado: that sounds like a fun challenge ;] | 02:47 |
| orudie | which terminal command is for opening and editting a txt file ? | 02:47 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | orudie, nano | 02:47 |
| kiss_son | knoppix_ use dd in some live cd | 02:47 |
| === osxdude|laptop is now known as osxdude | ||
| amenado | bazhang-> so am searching the script that install uses to create the stage 1 1.5 and 2 | 02:47 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, k9copy rips and converts directly to ~4.7 gb? | 02:47 |
| knoppix_ | i am in knoppix right now how do i use dd ? | 02:47 |
| === credible_ is now known as credible | ||
| cellofellow | D-Unit: dd if=/dev/dvd of=/path/to/file.iso | 02:48 |
| kiss_son | u need a image of the a grub mbr | 02:48 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, i dint understand that | 02:48 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: now you have a full-size ISO file. Now run bzip2 on it and it will get a bit smaller. | 02:48 |
| Logan | right well i'm off, for now.. lets see if this version works... if not then i don't know what else to do.... | 02:48 |
| knoppix_ | kiss_son how do i get one ? | 02:48 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, so in closing, u think i should just re-install/ | 02:49 |
| polishpaul_ | my sound isn't working - fresh install on a laptop | 02:49 |
| SilentDis | hello, looking for some advice here on the best way to go about this... | 02:49 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, i cant find anything on the net about it | 02:49 |
| spyd3r | anyone know anything about getting USB GamePads to work? | 02:49 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, and its not something ive come across myself, im almost certain it was when you installed Xfce | 02:49 |
| BellaD | I don't know what to do | 02:49 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, i will need open office etc, which i dont think comes standard with xfce. I would still be able to install all other apps in repo, right? and get wifi to work using restricted drivers etc? | 02:49 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, do u no of any windows freeware that i can use thru wine that would compress directly bcuz i have no internet on that comp and windows apps dont ask for dependencies | 02:50 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, or would installing ati drivers, my modem and wifi be more console driven? | 02:50 |
| jrib | BellaD: you never answered my question | 02:50 |
| Dr_willis_ | spyd3r, often the games need to be configured to use /dev/input/js0 instead of /dev/js0 | 02:50 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, Xfce is just the WM | 02:50 |
| polishpaul_ | I see 2 devices in sound pref - HDA Intel (alsa mixer) and Analog Devices AD1984 (OSS mixer) | 02:50 |
| dft | captine: what hardware are you running on? | 02:50 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: DVD video and audio is already compressed, somewhat, using MPEG2. Compressing more, especially with a general purpose lossless algorithm like gzip or bzip2, will likely not work. | 02:50 |
| dft | I've been using xubuntu for some time now | 02:50 |
| Ezra | bellad: just a minute bellad......... | 02:50 |
| captine | presario turion 512mb ram | 02:50 |
| BellaD | i did jrib | 02:50 |
| dft | iirc oOo does come installed | 02:50 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: both dd and bzip2 are included in a base system. | 02:50 |
| kiss_son | i have my own.......... or u need to find it somewhere e;se | 02:50 |
| kiss_son | else | 02:50 |
| jrib | BellaD: what is the full path to the file you are trying to edit? | 02:51 |
| captine | dft, shared memory | 02:51 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: you may have to read the dd man file for some info. | 02:51 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, no offense but u rely lose me with the way u talk | 02:51 |
| spyd3r | dr_willis_, the problem is that the buttons work in SMC but the d-pad does not | 02:51 |
| captine | dft for graphic. think is 1.8 or something processor. | 02:51 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: ok, sorry. Did I skip something? Where'd I lose you? | 02:51 |
| captine | dft ati graphics | 02:51 |
| BellaD | etc modprobe.d alsa-base | 02:51 |
| jrib | BellaD: ok, now, what is the exact command you used to try to edit it? | 02:52 |
| kiss_son | or ask other guy to dd if=/dev/sda1 of=grub-imge.bin bs=512 count=1 to u | 02:52 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, like "special words" like dd and bzip2 etc | 02:52 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: are you familiar with the command line? | 02:52 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, well somewat i guess | 02:52 |
| kiss_son | once grub is restored , make sure the menu.lst is ok on a active partition | 02:52 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, like i dont avoid it | 02:52 |
| kiss_son | then it will be ok | 02:53 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | D-Unit, DD = data definition, bzip2 = compression method applied to a tar | 02:53 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: ok, dd is a bitstream copyer thingy that you can use to make ISO images of CDs and DVDs, among many many other things. | 02:53 |
| BellaD | I was stupid enough to just open the file in an ordinary text editor and I pasted a text and now.... | 02:53 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: so, sudo dd if=/dev/dvd of=/path/to/file.iso will create a copy of the input file (if) to the output file (of). | 02:53 |
| orudie | NinjaPlimsoles: have you ever installed phpBB ? | 02:54 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | orudie, nope :( | 02:54 |
| cellofellow | orudie: I did. :) | 02:54 |
| captine | dft what do u use your machine for? | 02:54 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, how do i backup my evolution mails? just copy folder? | 02:54 |
| SilentDis | got a 'puter running Ubuntu 6.10. / partition is a bit small. is it possible to enlarge / (hda1) and decrease the side of /home (hda2) without loosing data on /home? | 02:54 |
| jrib | BellaD: you can't do that. First off, I strongly recommend you make a backup of the file first. Then use sudo to edit it. If you need a gui, use "gksudo gedit". Make sure you know what you are doing | 02:54 |
| jrib | !sudo > bellad (read the private message from ubotu) | 02:54 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | captine, can you export the folder within evolution? | 02:54 |
| jrib | !who | BellaD | 02:55 |
| ubotu | BellaD: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) | 02:55 |
| irene | hi people | 02:55 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, not sure. let me google this one | 02:55 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | irene, hi :) | 02:55 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, wat does that command do? compress? | 02:55 |
| irene | hi ninja | 02:55 |
| dft | <~~~...come on Irene!!...~~~> | 02:55 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | D-Unit, what command? :) | 02:55 |
| jrib | dft: please don't do that | 02:55 |
| livefoniks | How many times? | 02:55 |
| D-Unit | NinjaPlimsoles, sudo dd if=/dev/dvd of=/path/to/file.iso | 02:55 |
| orudie | cellofellow: trying to install phpBB3, cant install because cant find database, and i have mySQL 5 installed | 02:56 |
| irene | actually i'm not irene, i'm the guy who mount ubuntu on her laptop | 02:56 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | D-Unit, thats just a data copier | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, this is when it pays to learn the command line basics, and some other guides. You are going through a lot of work to make/compress a .iso image for very little gain to be honest. | 02:56 |
| Ezra | bellad: there is a lot of different text editors in the distro. they are all pretty similar and the point is that you need root privileges to make changes to files. i can post the changes in the file for you if you want. there's just one line.......just remember to not get too frustrated. take a break every once in a while. | 02:56 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, when to actally use the iso files later - you will need to uncompress them. | 02:56 |
| Bossmanbeta | hi Dr_willis | 02:56 |
| Bossmanbeta | hi SilentDis | 02:56 |
| irene | guys can you help me with something? | 02:56 |
| BellaD | ok jrib | 02:56 |
| SilentDis | got a 'puter running Ubuntu 6.10. / partition is a bit small. is it possible to enlarge / (hda1) and decrease the side of /home (hda2) without loosing data on /home? going to put 7.10 on as a fresh install. | 02:56 |
| polishpaul_ | Need more help - installed U 7.1 on my lenovo T61 and i have no sound | 02:57 |
| Bossmanbeta | SilentDis, Try Gparted | 02:57 |
| irene | i have a problem with my tv card | 02:57 |
| SilentDis | Bossmanbeta: it will allow a resize without destroying the data? | 02:57 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | SilentDis, and dont do it too often or your HDD will cry | 02:57 |
| irene | is a pinacle pctv stereo | 02:57 |
| Bossmanbeta | SilentDis, yes ... | 02:57 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, isnt there a windows app that will compress and encode at the same time that way i dont need the xtra hd space and then i can just burn the files to a disc like dvdxcopy did on windows but i dont like that message in begining | 02:57 |
| polishpaul_ | SilentDis, i'm not sure about shrinking a partition.. but enlarging should be doable | 02:57 |
| irene | i'm tring to use diferent tuner numbers | 02:57 |
| irene | but i ca't find one | 02:58 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | polishpaul_, shrinking is deemed safer than enlarging | 02:58 |
| Bossmanbeta | SilentDis, you could also temporarily move data to an external USB drive to make the job easier, then put the data back | 02:58 |
| cellofellow | D-Unit: there are dozens of compression utilities for Linux. | 02:58 |
| SilentDis | polishpaul_, Bossmanbeta: hmm. maybe i should just grab an extra drive, backup the data, and go that route. | 02:58 |
| polishpaul_ | SilentDis, step 1 - backup.. always | 02:58 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, k, i guess ill continue this later on cuz i have to go to bed cuz i have things to do early tomorow | 02:58 |
| Ezra | bellad: try adding this to your alsa-base file options snd-emu10k1-creative model=sblive! | 02:58 |
| polishpaul_ | NinjaPlimsoles, is this the case with linux partitions? | 02:58 |
| D-Unit | cellofellow, thanks for ur efforts | 02:59 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | polishpaul_, any partition :) | 02:59 |
| D-Unit | and the rest also | 02:59 |
| SilentDis | polishpaul_: it's my mom's computer. to say she's not backing up regularly is an understatement. guess i should just do it anyway lol | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, i dont mess with such things in windows.. and i dont find the compression of .iso dvd files to be worth the time it takes to compress them. You seem to be getting diffrent steps mixxed up. theres 'reencoding' a 9+gb dvd video to a 4gb disk sized image.. thats ONE step/task. then theres the compression of the 4 .iso files thats a totally unreleated task. | 02:59 |
| BellaD | Ezra thank you | 02:59 |
| Bossmanbeta | SilentDis, I agree -- backyup your critical data before doing anything ... but to make the resize easier, move it offline, then resize, then move it back | 02:59 |
| === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as CoJKT-sKcWE36B-u | ||
| BellaD | I am tired out now I will go to bed | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, you dont ust compress a 9gb dvd to fit on a 4gb disk and be playeable.. You have to reencode it. thats what k9copy does - i belive | 02:59 |
| polishpaul_ | SilentDis, you may want to 'image' your partition with partition-save then if something goes awry, just reimage | 02:59 |
| BellaD | Thank you Ezra take care | 03:00 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Dr_willis, iso's are compressed? o.O | 03:00 |
| polishpaul_ | SilentDis, but a simple copy should do the trick :) | 03:00 |
| Ezra | bellad: again, from the land of oz......no worries | 03:00 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, ya but does it do all that without exceeding 9gb of space or does it need to recopy the whole dvd but decrypted then have to shrink it and waste additional temporary space (which wont be possible due to my lack of hd space)? | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | NinjaPlimsoles, the files ON them :) are the issue. hes getting several different things mixxed up i think. | 03:00 |
| SilentDis | polishpaul_: the more i think of it... the more i don't wanna deal with this in the future. i think i have an extra 40gb drive sitting around anyway. it's going in the box lol | 03:00 |
| Bossmanbeta | SilentDis, Gparted comes in a bootable ISO so you can cleanly play with the partitions without mounting them | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, no idea. I dont worry abotu disk space. :) | 03:00 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Dr_willis, just burn a tar.bz2 to disc? lol | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | NinjaPlimsoles, use rar. :) | 03:01 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, k, well does k9copy require dependencies? | 03:01 |
| D-Unit | cuz i rely hate those | 03:01 |
| D-Unit | :( | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, most likely theres some.. thats what the package manager is all about.. it handles it. | 03:01 |
| arrrghhh | hey all. just wondering where usb devices mount in /dev. my girlfriend's ipod is showing up in lsusb, but it's not showing up on her desktop like it usually does. | 03:01 |
| === CoJKT-sKcWE36B-u is now known as CoJKT_SK_cwek36B | ||
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, package manager? | 03:01 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | D-Unit, if you use apt-get it will meet its dependencies | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, i never have problems with dependenciues.. apt-get or synaptic grab them as needed | 03:01 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, o that ya but im talkin bout a comp thats not connected to internet | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, if you dont understand how apt-get, synaptic and so forth work.. its time to read some Ubuntu beginner guides. | 03:02 |
| bruenig | beware of meta-packages though | 03:02 |
| bruenig | total fail | 03:02 |
| SilentDis | brb | 03:02 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | meta-package = boom | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | D-Unit, I dont mess with non-connected stuff.. sorry. theres ways to do it. I just dont do that stuff. | 03:02 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, no, i do, its just i have no internet and had looked to apt-zip but dont no how to use that either | 03:02 |
| tony__ | hi | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | i would just connect it to the net with a cable , install stuff.. then remove cable. :) | 03:02 |
| D-Unit | Dr_willis, k, well anyway i rely need to sleep now | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis_ | work time for me. Byeee | 03:03 |

| NobleArc | Why must defragging a hard drive take so damn long? =\ | 03:06 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | NobleArc, zeroing one with 4 passes takes longer :P | 03:06 |
| icesword | how would i disable deskbar-applet at boot | 03:06 |
| NobleArc | blah. | 03:07 |
| NobleArc | I just want to put Ubuntu on ze lappy... well, dual-boot it, like I've got on my main machine, but I don't want to wait for it to defrag first, before partitioning. =\ | 03:07 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | NobleArc, why defrag something thats being partitioned? the files wont be scattered if they dont exist ;) | 03:08 |
| icesword | how would i disable deskbar-applet at boot | 03:08 |
| NobleArc | I plan on resizing my current partition to make room for Ubuntu, without removing XP. | 03:08 |
| Roooty | Hi, all my icons (like folder or file icons) just all went generic-blank-paper icon. Anyone know the solution? | 03:08 |
| jrib | icesword: remove it from your panel | 03:09 |

| === allquixotic_ is now known as allquixotic | ||
| === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789_chrrrr | ||
| NinjaPlimsoles | NobleArc, aaaaaah, yeah wait for defrag to finish or you might get files caught in the deflate | 03:09 |
| victamower | is there any way to do that without uninstalling and reinstalling it? | 03:09 |
| NobleArc | Yeah, I've had it happen once on an older box. Didn't lose anything, as I had backups.. | 03:09 |
| NobleArc | but still. | 03:09 |
| NobleArc | Don't want to deal with it. | 03:09 |
| icesword | jrib, maybe that is not right,i don't that process at boot | 03:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NobleArc, Dont even think of repartitioning before defragging, and I usually recommend two passes at defrag to be sure. | 03:09 |
| icesword | i don't want that process | 03:10 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Jack_Sparrow, he wasnt | 03:10 |
| jrib | icesword: deskbar-applet only loads when you login | 03:10 |
| NobleArc | Iv | 03:10 |
| icesword | running in background | 03:10 |
| NobleArc | I've already defragged it with two programs, now I'm using Microsoft's built-in one. | 03:10 |
| arrrghhh | so where are usb devices listed in /dev? i have an ipod that is showing up in lsusb, but won't appear on the desktop like it normally does | 03:10 |
| jrib | icesword: right click on it, remove from panel. Let me know if it still starts next time you login | 03:10 |
| icesword | jrib, so you mean,if i remove it,it won't load again,even in background | 03:10 |
| Scunizi | NobleArc, are you defragging a windows box? if so you might want to do it from the "safe mode" | 03:10 |
| owh | This is going to sound like a dumb question, but can someone remind me how I can "apt-get source" from a different version other than my current OS, that is, I'm running Feisty and I want to apt-get source from Hardy. | 03:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | NobleArc, the less free space on the drive the longer it takes to defrag | 03:10 |
| icesword | jrib, k | 03:10 |
| NobleArc | I know, Jack_Sparrow. | 03:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | owh, Dont. it wont work | 03:11 |
| arrrghhh | owh, don't do it. why would you want to? | 03:11 |
| nickrud | owh: add the source repo for hardy | 03:11 |
| NobleArc | I'm going to be running a defragger at boot time, Scunizi, so it can move the system files. | 03:11 |
| owh | Jack_Sparrow: I am not compiling it, I just need to get the source. | 03:11 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | right nighty night folks! 3am is an admirable bedtime | 03:11 |
| arrrghhh | owh, you can download the source online | 03:11 |
| owh | nickrud: How will I then access that repo? | 03:11 |
| icesword | jrib, what about if i remove that update notifier | 03:12 |
| Scunizi | NinjaPlimsoles, you must be east of me and over the pond | 03:12 |
| jrib | icesword: what about it? | 03:12 |
| nickrud | owh: if you're not sure, getting the source from packages.ubuntu.com would be simpler | 03:12 |
| captine | NinjaPlimsoles, no problem. i will just re-install in a bit. just burning the cd quickly | 03:12 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Scunizi, correct :P | 03:12 |
| owh | nickrud: Will that get me access to Hardy's version? | 03:12 |
| nickrud | owh: yes | 03:12 |
| icesword | jrib, is it ok,if i remove that icon,that update-notifier won't run background | 03:12 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Scunizi, im also suffering from wisdom tooth pain, and a blocked nose | 03:12 |
| owh | nickrud: Excellent, tah. | 03:12 |
| Scunizi | NinjaPlimsoles, go to bed already..! you need a break | 03:13 |
| jrib | icesword: I'm pretty sure there is a cron job that will update your repository list if that is what you mean | 03:13 |
| etell | \join #ubuntu-devel | 03:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | owh, that will get you access to a source file in that repo but if you are not going to compile what are you going to do with it | 03:13 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Scunizi, what can I say.. i like helping :( | 03:13 |
| owh | For those shaking their heads, I'm needing to make a debdiff of a bug fix, but I need to have the current Hardy version so it can be used when Hardy is released. | 03:13 |
| * nickrud shakes head at owh | 03:14 | |
| jetscreamer | when is Laurel coming out? | 03:14 |
| Alan_M | why not just get the hardy cd when it becomes official? | 03:14 |
| LeChacal | if i need a ton of packages and there dependencies that are only in the Debian repository is there a fast way to get them all other then searching and downloading them all by hand. These files are the dependencies for Debian Cluster Components. | 03:14 |
| owh | Alan_M: Because this bug fix will be on that cd. | 03:14 |
| arrrghhh | so where are usb devices listed in /dev? i have an ipod that is showing up in lsusb, but won't appear on the desktop like it normally does | 03:14 |
| jrib | owh: why not setup a chroot or virtualbox if you want to do things lie that? | 03:14 |
| owh | nickrud: :-) Any alternative suggestions? | 03:14 |
| Alan_M | wouldnt..that..be..a better idea? | 03:14 |
| jetscreamer | LeChacal: apt-pinning perhaps | 03:14 |
| chuck | is there a new ubuntu release soon or something | 03:15 |
| owh | jrib: The fix is a one-liner to a bash script. | 03:15 |
| Alan_M | chuck, yup | 03:15 |

| Alan_M | hardy | 03:15 |
| owh | jrib: Seems a tad overkill. | 03:15 |
| nickrud | owh: that was a joke. And, running hardy in a vm would be a useful method | 03:15 |
| Alan_M | its coming out officially in april chuck :) | 03:15 |
| Cpudan80 | Has the artwork for Hardy been decided on yet? | 03:15 |
| chuck | oh i get this: http://mirror.cs.umn.edu/ubuntu-torrents/torrents.html | 03:15 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | arrrghhh, /dev/sdax | 03:15 |
| Cpudan80 | guess I should ask + | 03:15 |
| jrib | owh: yes, if this is all you are doing | 03:15 |
| owh | nickrud: Sorry, 747 over my head :) | 03:15 |
| Cpudan80 | +1* | 03:15 |
| arrrghhh | chuck, there's a 6 month release cycle with ubuntu. so every april and october it seems. | 03:15 |
| arrrghhh | NinjaPlimsoles, hrm... ok. | 03:16 |
| owh | All good, thanks all. | 03:16 |
| chuy_max | hi, I might have found a bug in ktechlab, should I report this to ubuntu, or kde? | 03:16 |
| nickrud | owh: install virtualbox, and install hardy in that. #ubuntu+1 coould help you set up | 03:16 |
| owh | nickrud: I will as soon as I have some disk space to burn, right now I'm just hanging on :) | 03:16 |
| Alan_M | chuy_max, I would say Kubuntu..is it a kubuntu program? | 03:16 |
| SilentDis | quick question for everyone. from your experiences, what is a decent size for a / partition (excluding /home, including /tmp) for a more 'average' user? | 03:16 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: 10-15 gb would be spacious | 03:17 |
| Alan_M | yeah | 03:17 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: would i run into issue with 8gb? | 03:17 |
| Alan_M | ive got like 40+gb SilentDis, and ive yet to run out | 03:17 |
| owh | nickrud: For /root ? | 03:17 |
| danbhfive | SilentDis: I think /tmp is on your ram, fyi | 03:17 |
| livefoniks | SilentDis: I use 8GB, myself...that seems to be plenty. | 03:17 |
| Alan_M | and its been..a while. | 03:17 |
| owh | nickrud: That seems a tad overkill. | 03:17 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, i run / with 6 gigs and /home gets everything else. | 03:18 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: you might, , for example if you were building a dvd | 03:18 |
| MK5 | Can someone explain to me how to setup Windows VPN for NetworkManager | 03:18 |
| icesword | nickrud, if i remove update notifier from panel,is that means there won't be process running like update notifier and notification daemon in background | 03:18 |
| berlylabs | anyone here know to fix a sound problem on ubuntu... it's telling me I have no plug ins or devices | 03:18 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | right, bedtime for me | 03:18 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, it really depends on how big the hdd is and where you're planning on storing things. | 03:18 |
| SilentDis | this box is overkill. 200gb for /home, 10gb for a swap, and 90gb for /, i don't have these issues lmao | 03:18 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | night folks | 03:18 |
| LeChacal | jetscreamer: so then you are saying add the Debian to my source.list and make this pinning file | 03:18 |
| cottima | how do I setup raid on the live installer | 03:18 |
| nickrud | icesword: hm, I haven't really looked into how it's set up, if the gui thing does it or only monitors some other process | 03:18 |
| livefoniks | 10GB for a swap, SilentDis? Definite overkill there. | 03:19 |
| cottima | softraid, that is | 03:19 |
| marbleslinger | 500 gig is enough no matter how you split it up | 03:19 |
| posr | icesword ohh hi :) | 03:19 |
| posr | :D | 03:19 |
| SilentDis | arrrghhh: my mom's 'puter. gonna give it a shot in the arm. when i built it, it ran Ubuntu 6.10 with a mere 8gb drive in total. i only gave / 3gb, which is WAY too small. was trying to think of ways to solve this | 03:19 |
| icesword | posr, hi | 03:19 |
| jetscreamer | LeChacal: i'm just saying it may be what you want... not sure. | 03:19 |
| danbhfive | SilentDis: heh, I don't think that the kernel can even use that much swap, unless its the server version, or 64bit | 03:19 |
| livefoniks | SilentDis: How much RAM in the machine? | 03:19 |
| LeChacal | jetscreamer: ok i will try it thank you | 03:19 |
| SilentDis | livefoniks: trust me, i'm no where near maxed out either. there's an extra 20gb for windows (haven't booted it in a year or more), 25gb fat32 partition in there... | 03:20 |
| owh | cottima: Format the partition, set the partition type to Raid Auto Detect, restart the partitioner. | 03:20 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, hrm... 8 gigs is a big small. buy her a 40 gig hdd. they're cheapo i'm sure. | 03:20 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: I keep several 12gb partitions around for different installs. I've maxed out at 7 when I had a _lot_ installed, several desktops, etc | 03:20 |
| owh | cottima: Uh. s/format/create/ | 03:20 |
| berlylabs | anyone know how to get ubuntu to reinstall a driver that waas installed but somehow disappeared | 03:20 |
| SilentDis | livefoniks: currently 2gb, gonna order another 2gb when W. sends me mah gobmant cheeze check! lol | 03:21 |
| chuy_max | Alan_M, it is a KDE program | 03:21 |
| che | How to work the visual effect of Ubuntu on the ATI video card? | 03:21 |
| icesword | i will kill all unneccessary services | 03:21 |
| berlylabs | my sound card I think got messed up | 03:21 |
| nickrud | che: what ati video card? | 03:21 |
| berlylabs | can anyone help? | 03:22 |
| marbleslinger | CHE: Envy | 03:22 |
| livefoniks | SilentDis: Well, a 10GB /root partition is probably plenty. 1 or 1.5GB for SWAP. | 03:22 |
| bluefoxx | what plugin do i need to play .iso dvd inages in kaffeine? | 03:22 |
| SilentDis | so, in general, dedicating all of hda (8gb drive) to /, and then dropping in a spare 20g/40g/whatever i have sitting around for swap and home should suffice without issue? | 03:22 |
| arrrghhh | berlylabs, what do you mean, you have to be more descriptive. what driver | 03:22 |
| === joecool_ is now known as joecool | ||
| berlylabs | arrrrghhh : my sound just stopped and it tells me i have no gstreamer plugins or devices or something like that | 03:22 |
| che | nickrud: ATI Radeon Xpress 200M | 03:22 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, oh yea. i mean if you gave everything to / and had a small swap (512mb or so) might also work.,... | 03:23 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: for most uses, yes. If mom isn't going to install a lot of stuff | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | marbleslinger, Envy is not something we support in here.. it has improved, but still has issues | 03:23 |
| marbleslinger | ok... worked for me | 03:23 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !worksforme | 03:23 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 03:23 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, or / gets 5 gigs and /home gets 2.5 gigs and swap gets 512mb. | 03:23 |
| berlylabs | exact error The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 03:23 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: she likes to 'play' in the add/remove programs area i've found, which resulted in this problem in the first place lol | 03:23 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, that's close tho... i'd recommend 6gigs min. for /. and if she likes doin that, get her a bigger hdd or don't tell her the root pass lol | 03:24 |
| cottima | owh, sorry, what format type do I select? | 03:24 |
| GaD1a | hi all | 03:24 |
| SilentDis | arrrghhh: i tried the whole 'no root access for you!' method.... she was calling me every day :P | 03:24 |
| jetscreamer | get a newer harddrive.. buy yourself a nice big new one, and give mom your handmedown | 03:24 |
| berlylabs | can someone help me fix this error I have no sound The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 03:24 |
| rledge21 | Hi all - I'm trying to import a snippet in gedit, when I click the import button the filebrowser opens but everything in it is locked up. I can move it and resize it but I cannot browse to the file. Does anyone know a way to fix it - or a way to manually install snippets? | 03:25 |
| owh | cottima: It's the partition type that you select. | 03:25 |
| arrrghhh | berlylabs, it helps if you spell my name right. autocomplete works here too :) at any rate, do you use alsa for sound? | 03:25 |
| nickrud | che: system->admin->restricted manager, enable ati restricted. Reboot. log in, run fglrxinfo in a terminal, make sure it's using ati 8.37.6 driver. install xserver-xgl , log out and back in. System->prefs-appearance, effects tab, turn it on | 03:25 |
| SilentDis | jetscreamer: eh, i have spares sitting all over the place it seems. they just keep collecting lol | 03:25 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, ouch... yea... hrm. just give her a bigger hdd and burn that 8gig POS. | 03:25 |
| owh | cottima: Linux RAID AutoDetect, on the second page if memory serves me. | 03:25 |
| jetscreamer | debian has a new fglrx xorg module in sid btw | 03:25 |
| berlylabs | i'm not sure what I use as it just worked after i installed this is the first issue I've had | 03:25 |
| che | nickrud: ok, i will try | 03:25 |
| che | thanks | 03:25 |
| berlylabs | arrrghhh:i'm not sure what I use as it just worked after i installed this is the first issue I've had | 03:25 |
| SilentDis | arrrghhh: so, drop a 40g+ in there, and put / on a 10g partition? | 03:25 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, and you'll be golden my friend. | 03:26 |
| che | nickrud: how to install a xserver-xgl | 03:26 |
| jetscreamer | you can get by with 6, but it gets tight | 03:26 |
| nickrud | che: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl in a terminal | 03:26 |
| jetscreamer | i had a 13 that was 'kinda' roomy | 03:26 |
| che | nickrud: ok | 03:27 |
| SilentDis | arrrghhh: i just worry... she bought a digital camera and fancies herself a serious professional picture taker... you know, of dogs... bugs... blurry looking sunsets... roflmao | 03:27 |
| vikku | can someone help me install build-essential iam getting following error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58568/ | 03:27 |
| seniorheuser | hello | 03:27 |
| Frederick | folks I got issues in a basically fresh install when I evoke x server the machine halts | 03:27 |
| arrrghhh | berlylabs, hrm... that's very strange, what changed in the system? hardware or software. | 03:27 |
| Tann | Does anyone know where the alsa-base config files are | 03:27 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, well yea, but with a 30+ gig /home partition she should be fine. | 03:27 |
| berlylabs | arrrghh : i deleted a gcj plug in to get my yahoo games to work that's all | 03:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud, My notes on Ati say to sudo depmod -a after installing -xgl what is that for? | 03:28 |
| che | nickrud: i heard about xserver-xgl gives like the lag, is this true? | 03:28 |
| cottima | owh, could the fact that I am using a xubuntu cd make a difference? | 03:28 |
| rledge21 | Hi all - I'm trying to import a snippet in gedit, when I click the import button the filebrowser opens but everything in it is locked up. I can move it and resize it but I cannot browse to the file. Does anyone know a way to fix it - or a way to manually install snippets? | 03:28 |
| arrrghhh | berlylabs, gcj plugin? | 03:28 |
| SilentDis | another question, just so i know where to start digging... she's gonna be doing EVDO on the machine. does Ubuntu 7.10 have a dialer on it, or will i be mucking with pppd for a bit to get the packages installed? (yes, her phone works with 7.10, i tried it on my kubuntu box) | 03:28 |
| berlylabs | yeah for mozilla | 03:28 |
| nickrud | vikku: if you're lucky sudo apt-get -f install will fix that | 03:28 |
| owh | cottima: No, it shouldn't. What is the problem you're experiencing? | 03:28 |
| nith | Tann: Dunno if they're the base configs, I've got some it /usr/share/alsa | 03:28 |
| berlylabs | arrrghhh: yeah for mozilla | 03:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | che, You need it if you want smooth video and effects, you just need to turn off effects for better gaming | 03:28 |
| vikku | nickrud : trying it | 03:29 |
| nith | *some in | 03:29 |
| icesword | basically,i don't worry about mem,linux kernel does a very good mm | 03:29 |
| Tann | ok. thx | 03:29 |
| === nith is now known as Nith | ||
| nickrud | jack-desktop: no idea, depmod -a is to rebuild the kernel module index (roughly) xserver-xgl has no kernel modules | 03:29 |
| arrrghhh | berlylabs, and you've tried rebooting i'm assuming? | 03:29 |
| Nith | np | 03:29 |
| berlylabs | yes many times | 03:29 |
| arrrghhh | lol | 03:29 |
| arrrghhh | ok | 03:29 |
| nickrud | che: it can, yes. But, you can't run the desktop effects without it on ati 200m | 03:29 |
| Tann | nith: I was just wondering so i can copy the config files from a live cd to my comp | 03:29 |
| vikku | <nickrud : same error | 03:30 |
| che | jack_sparrow, nickrud: aanhaa ok thanks | 03:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nickrud, I pulled it from one of the tutorials.... thought I would ask.. goodnight | 03:30 |
| biouser | quick, I need to open a 'listen.asp' radio over the internet, what should I get? | 03:30 |
| SilentDis | a better way to form that question... Does Ubuntu 7.10 have any GUI dialers available on it's CD? or, at minimum, does it have the pppd stuff for me to get it working from a term, then pull a gui one? | 03:30 |
| combatwombat | hey guys | 03:30 |
| Nith | Tann: why not just purge and reinstall? | 03:30 |
| nickrud | Jack_Sparrow: if someone compiles the fglrx from ati, it'd be useful | 03:30 |
| Frederick | my x server hangs and the whole sstem seems to hang I cant evn kill it | 03:30 |
| arrrghhh | berlylabs, i'm not sure... i use kde, and instructions for audio troubleshooting are vastly different. | 03:30 |
| berlylabs | hmm | 03:30 |
| berlylabs | anyone here wanna help? sound just stopped working | 03:31 |
| Frederick | Ive tried the new cd it also hangs I cant even have an instalr in text mode I think | 03:31 |
| Frederick | any ideas? | 03:31 |
| nickrud | vikku: I'm not sure what's causing that error.it's in /var/lib/dpkg/info/acpid.postinst , but what's actually happening .. | 03:31 |
| arrrghhh | Frederick, have you tried the text mode installer? | 03:32 |
| Frederick | how do I do it? | 03:32 |
| Tann | Nith: oh. ok | 03:32 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: pppconf , with pon/poff in terminal | 03:32 |
| biouser | .asp, radio on the internet, what program can handle it? | 03:32 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: erm, pppconfig that is | 03:33 |
| Nith | good question | 03:33 |
| arrrghhh | Frederick, ...uh download the alternate installer cd? when you choose to download, it asks if you want the desktop version or the "alternate" installer - you want to download the alternate iso. | 03:33 |
| biouser | http://wrfg.org/listen.asp | 03:33 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: so i'll be doing a bit of mucking at first. this HAS to be GUI for her to do it herself later. can you recommend a GTK+ dialer app? (i use EVDO myself, but i'm using kubuntu & kppp works well) | 03:33 |
| cottima | owh, To start out, I have three options: guided entire disk, guided largest free space, and manual. Guided continues onto user info: "Who are you?" In manual, I only file system formats, no raid option. | 03:33 |
| arrrghhh | i don't understand why they don't have the alternate text install on the same ISO as the livecd. seems like it'd be pretty easy, all the same info just how it's installed. | 03:33 |
| Scunizi | biouser, streamturner? VLC? maybe both will do it.. but if it's an .asp file that might be pretty much MS . | 03:33 |
| biouser | can someone tell me if they can get that feed? | 03:34 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, why not just install kubuntu on her machine? | 03:34 |
| biouser | what is asp? | 03:34 |
| biouser | no amarok? | 03:34 |
| arrrghhh | biouser, google it. it's a file stream usually. | 03:34 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: network manager applet has a ppp dialer, but I've never used it. My favorite for gnome disappeared | 03:34 |
| che | nickrud: i installed xserver-xgl it working smooth, now can i enable compiz? | 03:35 |
| owh | cottima: In the manual section, choose the disk you want to partition, then inside that you can setup partitions, inside that you can chose the partition type. If you have multiple identical drives you can be funky and do it automatically with one drive, go back, then chose the other drive, do the same - so the partitions are identical, then go back a third time, choose manual, then set the types, then finally go back and choose manu | 03:35 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: gnome-ppp sounds usable | 03:35 |
| vox | i'm trying to install gutsy server as a xen virtual machine, but it wont boot, just says "loading..." and stays there. any ideas? | 03:35 |
| owh | cottima: Did you understand that? | 03:35 |
| nickrud | che: system->prefs->appearance, effects tab | 03:35 |
| === osxdude is now known as osxdude|laptop | ||
| SilentDis | arrrghhh: i thought about that... but she's been using gnome for a while now, not sure if she can take such a change ;) | 03:36 |

| rledge21 | can anyone tell me where gedit snippets get saved to? Having trouble importing with the GUI | 03:36 |
| che | nickrud: is extra=compiz ? | 03:36 |
| nickrud | che: yes | 03:36 |
| cottima | yeah, but I still do not see how I can do raid without an option for it. | 03:36 |
| fotoflo | hey all | 03:36 |
| owh | cottima: You can set the partition type from within manual. | 03:37 |
| che | nickrud: thank you so much, i solved my last problem. | 03:37 |
| fotoflo | got a little question - is there a way to download all MX records that point to my domain? | 03:37 |
| arrrghhh | SilentDis, hrm... i dunno, i think kde is friendlier, but gnome does tend to hide things so newbies can't get in too much trouble. kde just seems to be more mature. and i'm not starting a flame war here people, so don't get pissed at my PERSONAL opinion. | 03:37 |
| nickrud | che: one more thing: install compizconfig-settings-manager , it'll be at system->prefs->advanced desktop | 03:37 |
| slaytanic | fotoflo: Erhm, host -t MX yourdomain.com? | 03:37 |
| bosanac | how i can open my SSH ( to people have access to my BOX when i told them the pass and the user ? ) | 03:38 |
| bosanac | how i can open my SSH ( to people have access to my BOX when i told them the pass and the user ? ) | 03:38 |
| Frederick | arrrghhh: i will try it thanks | 03:38 |

| MasterShrek | !ssh | bosanac | 03:39 |
| ubotu | bosanac: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 03:39 |
| bosanac | hmm thats not a bad idea dude | 03:39 |
| SilentDis | bosanac: what fotoflo said, as well. are you giving them YOUR username/password, or their OWN username/password? | 03:39 |
| bosanac | i like that | 03:39 |

| bosanac | thx | 03:39 |

| nickrud | fotoflo: nope | 03:40 |
| SilentDis | random question of the day: are there any active viruses out in the wild right now for linux in general? | 03:41 |
| cabrioleur_ | berlylabs, reinstall what? Hardware should be plugged manually :-) | 03:41 |
| MasterShrek | berlylabs, audio cards are such a pain lol, if you type: lsmod | grep snd in a terminal does anything come up? (no need to paste it) | 03:41 |
| mneptok | SilentDis: yes, Microsoft released Vista last year. | 03:41 |
| Nith | SilentDis: I've only heard of root kits | 03:41 |
| cabrioleur_ | SilentDis, yes | 03:41 |
| SilentDis | mneptok: lol | 03:41 |
| MasterShrek | !virus | SilentDis | 03:41 |
| ubotu | SilentDis: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 03:41 |

| _bosanac | sorry i left this network :( | 03:42 |

| _bosanac | Flannel: i install it and how to enable it ? | 03:42 |
| _bosanac | a | 03:42 |
| SilentDis | MasterShrek: thanks. i'm more worried about mom, without a hardware firewall, using EVDO, and finally manage to screw something up. i've kept her pretty safe otherwise :) | 03:42 |
| Flannel | _bosanac: It's "enabled" by default. People just need to connect to your computer, and they can login | 03:42 |
| _bosanac | aha | 03:43 |
| _bosanac | ok | 03:43 |
| MasterShrek | berlylabs, on second thought can you paste the output to pastebin for me? | 03:43 |
| _bosanac | thx | 03:43 |
| _bosanac | ciao! | 03:43 |
| berlylabs | yeah give me a min | 03:43 |
| _ba | any ideas when trying to install 7.10 click install goes to busybox? | 03:43 |
| MasterShrek | _ba, have yo checked the disc for defects? should be an option right after your POST | 03:43 |
| cabrioleur_ | MasterShrek, it's not necessary truth. Linux and attached to it software have enough exploits to be used by software without root priv. | 03:43 |
| Logan | Starnestommy: the alternate cd worked. but i'm stuck at the stage where it's looking for the cd-rom, which is funny because the cd is running the ubuntu??? | 03:43 |

| berlylabs | MasterShrek: http://pastebin.com/m660aecf3 | 03:44 |
| cellofellow | putterson: set some kernel vga parameters in GRUB. | 03:44 |
| bluefoxx | ok, how can i mount a .iso image so a program[like kaffeine, gxine, vlc etc.] can make use of it? | 03:44 |
| cellofellow | putterson: try vga=792 | 03:44 |
| MasterShrek | bluefoxx, sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /path/to/file.iso /path/to/mount/point | 03:45 |
| putterson | cellofellow, is there a guide or manual to the parameters? | 03:45 |
| cellofellow | putterson: that's a 1024x768x32 framebuffer display | 03:45 |
| mneptok | berlylabs: you're not really using a root shell, are you? :) | 03:45 |
| cellofellow | um... | 03:45 |
| cabrioleur_ | bluefoxx, you can mount it with "sudo mount -o loop /iso.iso /mnt" or just open file in vlc. | 03:45 |

| MasterShrek | !intelhda | berlylabs have a look at this | 03:45 |
| ubotu | berlylabs have a look at this: For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto | 03:45 |
| bluefoxx | MasterShrek: cabrioleur_ : thanks | 03:45 |
| posr | :D | 03:45 |
| SilentDis | final dumb question... Ubuntu is shooting for an 8.04 release, right? i might just put this all off till then, save me having to go over again and all :) | 03:45 |
| berlylabs | MasterShrek: what? | 03:45 |
| MasterShrek | berlylabs, look at the link ubotu pasted for you | 03:45 |
| Alan_M | SilentDis: thats correct | 03:46 |
| Flannel | !hardy | SilentDis | 03:46 |
| ubotu | SilentDis: 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 | 03:46 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: when 8.04 is released, you can upgrade in place over the net, without having to reinstall | 03:46 |
| berlylabs | ok | 03:46 |
| owh | cottima: Is it working for you now? | 03:46 |
| Logan | Hey can anyone help me at the stage (Detect and mount CD-rom) . ubuntu 7.10 .. i don't get this i mean the cd is running fine how come it can't detect it??? | 03:46 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: right, but would you trust your mom to actually be patient enough as the download happens? mine burns water in saucepans, and yells at the microwave to hurry up! | 03:46 |
| cellofellow | putterson: in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst, find the line that reads "defopts" and add "vga=792" to that line. Then run "sudo update-grub" and reboot. And hope your video card supports framebuffers. | 03:46 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: tell her to do it before going to bed :) | 03:47 |
| cellofellow | putterson:(mine, sadly, doesn't) | 03:47 |
| putterson | cellofellow, ok brb | 03:47 |
| Alan_M | Hardy is pretty darn stable atm, but even for the guys who love a challenge, i wouldnt suggest it just yet :) | 03:47 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: that is FARRR too many instructions. she'd be likely to start it, then shut down the computer and go to bed lol | 03:47 |
| Scunizi | Logan, you have to burn the cd as an image AND at the slowest speed possible. If you can read the iso file on the cd with windows explorer then you burned it as data instead of an image. | 03:47 |
| Tonren | Someone, anyone, please help me make Firefox stop crashing with Flash. I have Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Kubuntu 7.10, on a sound card that doesn't support hw mixing. Why does sound-enabled Flash keep crashing Firefox? | 03:48 |
| putterson | cellofellow, I can't find the line with defopts in it | 03:48 |
| Alan_M | If its just 1 file on the cd...then you burned it wrong Logan :) | 03:48 |
| SilentDis | i have learned through this exactly why sysadmins become BOFH though lol | 03:48 |
| jetscreamer | vikku: probably apt-get -f install might help | 03:48 |
| nickrud | SilentDis: sounds like it's a chance for you to have a few hours of quality time with mom ;) | 03:48 |
| Flannel | putterson: Its close to the top, it's commented out. | 03:48 |
| Logan | Scunizi: i've done this correctly, it shows up on window as a browser.. | 03:48 |
| cellofellow | putterson: oops, it's "# defoptions=blah blah blah" | 03:48 |
| Flannel | putterson: DONT uncomment it. And actually, vga=ask might be better than a definite value. | 03:48 |
| Logan | I've burned it right, it boots up and i'm in the process of installing it, but when it gets to the Detect and mount Cd-rom stage it just won't work from here | 03:49 |
| putterson | cellofellow, its at 791 right now | 03:49 |
| cellofellow | putterson: don't remove that hash symbol, that's line is for update-grub to read, while the un-commented lines are for GRUB itself to read. | 03:49 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: why don't i just hand you a gun so you can blow my brains out right now? family functions, sure, then i can loose myself in meal prep lol | 03:49 |
| biouser | http://wrfg.org/listen.asp | 03:49 |
| Scunizi | Logan, what do you mean as a browser? look at the cd with your file manager and see if you only see one file. | 03:49 |
| biouser | did anyone have any luck with that? | 03:49 |
| cellofellow | putterson: that line has a double hash does it not? | 03:49 |
| cellofellow | putterson: I see that line, it's an example. | 03:49 |
| putterson | cellofellow, oh yes sorry | 03:49 |
| SilentDis | nickrud: seriously, i love her dearly, but sometimes.... she's just... mom. lol | 03:50 |
| biouser | I can't believe that my favorite community radio would be so idiotic as to make a proprietary format webcast | 03:50 |
| Alan_M | SilentDis: Parents are set in their ways huh? :) | 03:50 |
| * nickrud hands gun SilentDis and says, 'anything for ma ;)' | 03:50 | |
| aSt3raL | when i use fdisk to make two primary partitions how do i access them after i write the changes | 03:50 |
| putterson | cellofellow, and if this fails will it just fall back to the lowest? | 03:50 |
| berlylabs | be back if this doesn't work ty guys | 03:50 |
| putterson | cellofellow, or will I be screwed | 03:50 |
| cellofellow | putterson: yes, with a funny delay | 03:50 |
| aSt3raL | when i do fdisk -l it just shows the old one | 03:50 |
| SilentDis | Alan_M: i got her to switch to ubuntu. i am making progress. :) | 03:50 |
| Alan_M | Well, thats good! | 03:51 |
| putterson | cellofellow, haha funny or weird funny, lol | 03:51 |
| Logan | When you put in the ubuntu cd it auto boots into a browser with firefox, thunderbird and... nevermind doesn't do it with this one | 03:51 |
| Logan | it shows up folders and files | 03:51 |
| cellofellow | putterson: a screen will ask you what modes you want to pick, and if it does that just hit spacebar and undo it. | 03:51 |
| Alan_M | You've done more than me, I still cant get mine to switch, the best ive done is got her to use Knoppix :/ | 03:51 |
| cellofellow | putterson: weird but harmless funny. | 03:51 |
| putterson | cellofellow, here goes nothing | 03:51 |
| Logan | i burned the image directly with imgburn, i never opened it and copied or created a data disk | 03:51 |
| bladinho | JOnata ;] | 03:52 |
| JOnata | ;) | 03:52 |
| SilentDis | Alan_M: lol. she was limping along on a P1 233 for YEARS. i built her a nice little AMD box, and just installed linux on it right off, no option in the matter. spent a good hour with her learning the ropes, and she actually took to it rather well. i doubt we'll see any shell scripts coming from her any time soon, but she definatly can use the machine :) | 03:53 |
| * Alan_M claps | 03:53 | |
| Alan_M | bravo | 03:53 |
| cabrioleur_ | P1 did get to 233? I always thought they stopped at 200. | 03:53 |
| Alan_M | mine sees a different style gui and flips...i dont like kubuntu..but for her i guess ill do it :/ | 03:53 |
| FloodBot3 | !netsplit | 03:53 |
| === max` is now known as max | ||
| 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 | 03:54 |
| MasterShrek | whoot netsplit | 03:54 |
| Alan_M | YIKES! | 03:54 |
| Logan | So any ideas? | 03:54 |
| Alan_M | that..was a big one! | 03:54 |
| SilentDis | cabrioleur_: i can state with full authority that the mobile P1 line hit 300mhz. I have a laptop with a P1 300mhz chip in it right here, on my desk, running Xubuntu 7.10 :) | 03:54 |
| ogre | that was nuts | 03:54 |
| Pendeta | Is ubuntu server edition already set up as a email server? | 03:54 |
| SilentDis | someone forgot to feed the hamster. | 03:54 |
| * Alan_M grabs surf board just incase we go through that again, ride the waves ;) | 03:54 | |
| Flannel | Pendeta: There is an email preconfiguration, yes | 03:55 |
| Alan_M | Pendeta, you can set it up as one, yeah. | 03:55 |
| cabrioleur_ | SilentDis, thanks, good to know. | 03:55 |
| === _{devil} is now known as {devil} | ||
| SilentDis | cabrioleur_: i believe that the P1 desktop line maxed at 233 or 266 though. | 03:55 |
| biouser | .asp? no one? | 03:55 |
| Alan_M | SilentDis, i think it was 266 | 03:55 |
| Alan_M | if..you overclocked | 03:55 |
| cabrioleur_ | biouser, what about .asp? | 03:56 |
| ogre | anyone tell me how to fix this? google is no help. sudo aircrack-ng -b 00:18:4D:58:AF:D4 dump-01.cap | 03:56 |
| ogre | [sudo] password for ogre: | 03:56 |
| ogre | Opening dump-01.capopen failed: No such file or directory | 03:56 |
| biouser | listening to a streaming radio station... | 03:56 |
| biouser | http://wrfg.org/listen.asp | 03:56 |
| cabrioleur_ | biouser, mplayer + win32codecs should do it. | 03:56 |
| SilentDis | can we go on the netsplit ride again? i spilled my soda last time, but i promise i'll hold on tight to this cotton candy! | 03:56 |
| Pendeta | Flannel and Alan_M, thanks! | 03:56 |
| niknik | Quick question. Can I make my xp partition smaller, and my ubuntu partition larger, without disturbing files? | 03:56 |
| Alan_M | Pendeta: its what were here for, you! :D | 03:56 |
| biouser | mplayer plug-in is what you are recommending? | 03:56 |
| cellofellow | Alan_M: I have several old i586's with those funny Turbo buttons that overclocked the processor on the fly. | 03:56 |
| cabrioleur_ | niknik, yes | 03:56 |
| putterson | cellofellow, I only get a blinking underline cursor now | 03:56 |
| mneptok | ogre: please don't ask about aircrack here | 03:56 |
| biouser | I thought ubuntu-restricted extras might work :( | 03:56 |
| cellofellow | putterson: video card type and driver? | 03:57 |
| SilentDis | niknik: yes, i know partition magic does it, there are a couple other 'live' partition resizing apps out there too... let me poke around. | 03:57 |
| niknik | Dude, you rock for telling me that. How? | 03:57 |
| Logan | So guys can anyone help me out here, i'm stuck on the detect and mount cd-rom, it says no common cd-rom drive was detected, if thats the case how come i'm running the install of ubuntu 7.10? | 03:57 |
| cellofellow | putterson: I think X should turn on on its own, but not sure. | 03:57 |
| cabrioleur_ | niknik, install ntfs-3g (you can do it during live cd), and gparted will support resizing of ntfs. | 03:57 |
| SilentDis | niknik: i will say though, that they NEVER seem to work well. you tend to always mess something up and loose data. backups are a MUST. | 03:57 |
| putterson | cellofellow, how would I get that info? | 03:57 |
| ogre | mneptok: they sent me here. its for my own network. the only reason I keep messing w/ it is because I cant figure it out | 03:57 |
| Alan_M | Logan, your running it off a server? :D (yes that can be done fyi) :) | 03:57 |
| cellofellow | putterson: you don't know what kind of video card you have? | 03:57 |
| cabrioleur_ | niknik, or maybe it was ntfsprogs | 03:57 |
| ogre | mneptok: ill quit though | 03:58 |
| putterson | cellofellow, its integraded, old p3 server | 03:58 |
| Logan | a hp one yes? but would that matter? | 03:58 |
| SilentDis | niknik: http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/partitioneditors.shtml | 03:58 |
| cottima | owh, excuse the wait. I am going to download the ubuntu cd in case. | 03:58 |
| cellofellow | putterson: if you could get a display... | 03:58 |
| cottima | owh, thank you. | 03:58 |
| cabrioleur_ | biouser, ubuntu restricted extras will not work, as they are for gstreamer. mplayer doesn't use it. | 03:58 |
| mneptok | ogre: aircrack is a cracking tool that is mostly designed for malicious purposes. all we have is your affirmation that you're using it locally. there are too many legitimate support questions relating to more conventional packages for #ubuntu to start supporting what amounts to cracking tools. | 03:58 |
| owh | cottima: Pleasure. | 03:59 |
| biouser | cabrioleur_, thanks for the tip, I'm about to try it. | 03:59 |
| Pendeta | Alan_M, yes, and greatly appreciated! This support channel is the main reason I'm trying to switch all our computers to Ubuntu. | 03:59 |
| putterson | cellofellow, I have a display, its not headless, I just don't want to run a gui | 03:59 |
| putterson | . | 03:59 |
| pyrak | what rss reader should i use? | 03:59 |
| cellofellow | putterson: ctrl+alt+del should restart, and when it does, when GRUB shows up hit ESC to see the menu, select Ubuntu in the menu and hit 'c' to edit, and remove the vga bit. Don't forget to do that on in the file afterword. | 03:59 |
| mneptok | pyrak: try the Sage extension to Firefox | 03:59 |
| Alan_M | Awesome, thats what a ubuntero as myself loves to hear! :D | 03:59 |
| Logan | Alan_M, so does this mean i have to download the server version... lol man i'm glad i've unlimted broadband | 04:00 |
| Odd-rationale | pyrak: lifera is not too bad. | 04:00 |
| cellofellow | putterson: maybe it's not c, maybe it's e, I forget. | 04:00 |
| putterson | cellofellow, can I just ssh in and change the file back and run update-grub? | 04:00 |
| mneptok | pyrak: then add a 0 to your gateway address | 04:00 |
| Alan_M | Logan, you would probably be wasting your time. | 04:00 |
| SilentDis | hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work on the graveyard shift with me. thanks all, g'night :) | 04:00 |
| cellofellow | pyrak: I just use google reader. | 04:00 |
| mneptok | pyrak: and no, i'll *never* let you forget :P | 04:00 |
| cellofellow | putterson: yeah, that should work. | 04:00 |
| niknik | Thank you, thank you, thank you | 04:00 |
| biouser | chmod ??? to make the .bin executable? | 04:00 |
| pyrak | mneptok, :/ | 04:00 |
| mneptok | biouser: chmod +x blah.bin | 04:00 |
| mneptok | pyrak: yup, i'm that big a jerk. | 04:01 |
| Logan | Alan_M, why would i. i don't understand i mean it's the same as a desktop, so i really don't see the difference? | 04:01 |
| pyrak | mneptok, big enough jerk to put up with my noobitude :P | 04:01 |
| Alan_M | Whats the same as a desktop? | 04:01 |
| pyrak | mneptok, that server is all set up now, btw. it's neat, i used it to bypass my school's filter the other day | 04:01 |
| mneptok | pyrak: from my chair, you're mild. | 04:01 |
| pyrak | ssh -D ftw | 04:01 |
| Logan | I've a HP machine here the specs arn't that fantastic so, i mean it's called a server but i use it as a desktop, so why would i be waisting my time? | 04:02 |
| biouser | thnks mneptok | 04:02 |
| mneptok | Logan: why install the GUI environment stuff on a server? | 04:02 |
| Alan_M | Oh, i see :) | 04:02 |
| Alan_M | thats the question i was getting to mneptok :) | 04:02 |
| Alan_M | unless your using xubuntu desktop..on a server..because your a new administrator. | 04:03 |
| Logan | Because to me it's not a server. i've never used it as a server it's a desktop to me... It's just called a server on HP | 04:03 |
| cabrioleur_ | Logan, maybe you should check slackware out. It comes with everything you need (server wise), and works better on older hardware. | 04:03 |
| stoker | alguien que hable español | 04:03 |
| mneptok | new administrators should be reading manpages rather than configuring Thunar behavior ;) | 04:03 |
| Starnestommy | !es | 04:03 |
| ubotu | Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 04:03 |
| Alan_M | !es | 04:03 |
| Alan_M | oops | 04:03 |
| stoker | ok | 04:03 |
| Logan | The computer isn't that old, lol | 04:03 |
| stoker | gracias | 04:03 |
| mneptok | Logan: ah! so the HP model naming calls it a server, but you use the machine as a desktop? | 04:04 |
| Logan | Pentium 4 (3.0GHz), 2GB Ram, 80GB Sata Drive. | 04:04 |
| wng- | how much HD space would be needed to host a local repository with just the packages needed for a installation? | 04:04 |
| Alan_M | mneptok, yeah. | 04:04 |
| Logan | yes | 04:04 |
| hekatontarchos | I'm trying to install Ubuntu 7.10 to my G3 iMac, but I'm having some issues. Can someone help? | 04:04 |
| Odd-rationale | Has anyone had trouble with the jamendo plugin for rhythmbox? Mine won't list any albums... :( | 04:04 |
| Alan_M | hekatontarchos, unless such issues are stated, probably not :) | 04:04 |
| talcite | hey guys, is there any way to require VNC to use key authentication? | 04:05 |
| cabrioleur_ | Logan, my server is 486, 16mb ram, lack of graphic card, and it's in my shoe-box with no fans, so it's quiet and stealth :) | 04:05 |
| Alan_M | !pm | Kalamansi | 04:05 |
| ubotu | Kalamansi: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 04:05 |
| talcite | I don't feel good about using arbitrary passwords... | 04:05 |
| hekatontarchos | running the live install, live-powerpc, check, check-powerpc, or any of the drivers options causes my computer to restart, losing the installation process | 04:06 |
| Kalamansi | i heard from someone that ubuntu is now able to handle NTFS partitions reliably, is that true? this guy i know was going to use those little external cases to set up some NAS for his laptops at home, but they only handle fat32 and fat32 isn't good for partitions over 32 gig I've got an older desktop system that i could set up for him with ubuntu it's just some p1 cpu but that should be enough, the NAS cases can't have a lot of power in them eithr es | 04:06 |
| Logan | Cool, so what could be the problem with the not detecting the drive it's using at that moment, i don't understand it? | 04:06 |
| putterson | cellofellow, blah the highest I can get with vga=ask is 80x60 | 04:07 |
| cabrioleur_ | Kalamansi, yes, linux is quite reliable with ntfs-3g | 04:07 |
| Tonren | Someone, anyone, please help me make Firefox stop crashing with Flash. I have Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Kubuntu 7.10, on a sound card that doesn't support hw mixing. Why does sound-enabled Flash keep crashing Firefox? | 04:08 |
| Alan_M | And Kalamansi, thank you for your understanding, i wasnt trying to be rude throwing that at you, just explaining the ways of this room. | 04:08 |
| hekatontarchos | the farthest I've gotten is live-nosplash-powerpc video=ofonly. that gets me to busybox, but when I type modprobe ide-core and then exit, it gives me a bunch of '........ could not be found' an drops me at a busybox prompt again | 04:08 |
| cabrioleur_ | Tonren, try to install alsa-oss. | 04:08 |
| wng- | how much HD space would be needed to host a local repository with just the packages needed for a installation? | 04:08 |
| Starnestommy | wng-: I would estimate 1 to 2.5 GB | 04:08 |
| wng- | Starnestommy, and how about the complete official repos? | 04:09 |
| Alan_M | wng-: a few hundred GB's | 04:09 |
| cabrioleur_ | wng-, the size of the install cd. | 04:09 |
| wng- | Alan_M, how many hundreds? | 04:09 |
| Alan_M | that, im not sure of. | 04:09 |
| wng- | I have to decide what size/how many drives the machine is going to have | 04:09 |
| hekatontarchos | I've also tried booting with live-nosplash-powerpc video=ofonly break=top but that gets me to busybox, and doesn't let me type | 04:10 |
| wng- | to tell my boss tomorrow | 04:10 |
| Alan_M | if your thinking about mirroroing the repositories, you might have to have a few TB hard drive..and a dang good bandwith..like almost fiber optical | 04:10 |
| Logan | So will i download the Server version guys? | 04:10 |
| phynix | wng: it is really easy to set up your own repo on a local machine | 04:10 |
| pyrak | mneptok, sage is pretty neat. only thing it's missing is offline browsing | 04:10 |
| cabrioleur_ | wng-, I think the whole repos you can fit on 3, 4 dvd's. | 04:10 |
| Alan_M | i might be wrong, but yeah. | 04:10 |
| wng- | 3 or 4 dvds is quite a difference than a few hundred gbs | 04:10 |
| cabrioleur_ | wng-, yup. It's not that much of it in the official channels. | 04:11 |
| Alan_M | i saw on the ubuntu page it was a huge ammount. | 04:11 |
| wng- | i know debian is like 40GB fully installed | 04:11 |
| Tonren | cabrioleur_: It's already installed. | 04:11 |
| Alan_M | i just didnt know exactly, but its definately there for you to read | 04:11 |
| phynix | is there a way to get the packages off of the cd and just make a repo | 04:11 |
| wng- | cabrioleur_, you'd say 100GB would be more than enough? | 04:11 |
| wng- | phynix, yea, I'm pretty sure there is | 04:11 |
| cabrioleur_ | Tonren, download plugin from the website and replace the one you have. | 04:12 |
| Logan | Hey where would i get drivers for the cd-rom? | 04:12 |
| cabrioleur_ | wng-, that's plenty. | 04:12 |
| wng- | should be as easy as moving files and setting up apt | 04:12 |
| hekatontarchos | any ideas? Alan_M? | 04:12 |
| wng- | cabrioleur_, thanks :) | 04:12 |
| Alan_M | None hekatontarchos | 04:12 |
| phynix | cause i made a scrip to compile the debs from a folder and host them using apache | 04:12 |
| Alan_M | thats also a reason i threw the private message thing at you, not everyone knows all the answers :) | 04:12 |
| phynix | not compile sorry make a package.gz files | 04:12 |
| hekatontarchos | I read some suggestions to use the alternate install CD, but the description of it didn't leave me confident that I would be any better off with it | 04:13 |
| Alan_M | Guys, im just a wee person, i dont have all the answers, i have as much information as ubotu :) | 04:13 |

| Logan | cabrioleur, thanks will try that | 04:14 |
| Odd-rationale | zetheroo: You will need to download the drivers somehow... An ethernet cable is the easiest way | 04:15 |
| cabrioleur_ | zetheroo, yes. ndiswrapper is on live cd, and your windows driver should be on you recovery cd you got from your "provider" :-) | 04:15 |

| cabrioleur_ | badcarbine, it's your root password. Because you can alter internal and essential setup for you system. | 04:18 |

| k1ro | I need help, I've installed Steam With Wine this morning. After this I had problem with a file that were taking all the room I needed to install the game. Now that I've deleted the file. I've installed the game in steam then at about 98% steam crashed. I've tried to open\run it again but It won't load completely.

| BananaMon | Hi. I have a somewhat of an odd thing going on with my Ubuntu. The 'windows list' that used to show up in one of my panels does not anymore making it not possible for me to switch windows. And further the alt+tab buttons also don't do anything, even if there are many windows open. Is this just a metacity problem? | 05:03 |
| crushy | dont know about stuff regarding wine @ k1ro :( | 05:03 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: on the panel you had the windows list, right click and add to panel | 05:04 |
| Odd-rationale | AaronMT: Your best bet is to use the alternative install cd, then. | 05:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | crushy, That does not prove the problem is on your end though | 05:04 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: then add window list | 05:04 |
| Kaneda15 | woo people that i might be able to talk to :o | 05:04 |
| kalun | Jack_Sparrow: Sorry here is fstab link http://www.pastebin.ca/929974 | 05:04 |
| crushy | actually when u choose mix option in switches | 05:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kalun, ok will look | 05:04 |
| crushy | the person will hear whatever they say | 05:04 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: yeah that is not the problem. I have done that many times, added new panels and stuff. If I right click where the windows list is supposed to be and click on preferences, I do indeed see the prefs of the windows list, but it is invisible and unusable | 05:05 |
| crushy | it seems like some of the voice being redirected to them | 05:05 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: compiz-fusion enabled? | 05:05 |

| BananaMon | erstazi: k, let me try | 05:05 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I use conky too | 05:06 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: from experience, compiz-fusion and conky can conflict | 05:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kalun, that uuid looks wrong | 05:06 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: want my .conkyrc? just need to backup yours and just use mine | 05:06 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: sorry, not conky, I was installing some things like aggdraw to make a certain desklet work on adesklets, I think that's what led to the problem | 05:06 |
| AaronMT | Apparently safe-mode got in to the desktop for him | 05:06 |
| kalun | Jack_Sparrow: how would i find the proper UUID? | 05:07 |

| john_ | i think i tried that before, I will try again and report if it works | 05:33 |
| tyguaike | writer day record | 05:34 |
| erstazi | tyguaike: writer day record? | 05:34 |
| cjae | Odd-rationale, ok so I would load dvd in there and sift to which part of movie would like out and extract?" | 05:34 |
| kayce_ | im having a problem with my x server apparently, "The x server failed, Perhaps it is not configured well." | 05:34 |
| ToddEDM | hey guys, this may sound dumb but how do i edit sources.list | 05:34 |
| macogw | john_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual | 05:35 |
| tyguaike | is a veriday writer record | 05:35 |
| Odd-rationale | cjae: Like I said, I never used it for that purpose before. But it claims to be able to do so... | 05:35 |
| macogw | tyguaike: veriday? | 05:35 |
| erstazi | I am just going to bash my head into the desk... | 05:36 |
| macogw | tyguaike: have you tried asking in #ubuntu-cn? I see you're in that channel. it seems what you want is something you don't know how to translate into english | 05:36 |
| Odd-rationale | ToddEDM: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 05:36 |
| tyguaike | erstazi,i want writer day record evryday | 05:36 |
| linuxmonkey | Its been a while since ive used linux, I love the 7.10 :) I think ive tried every versions of ubuntu since the release, anyways since im so out of touch, what IRC client do you guys suggest? | 05:36 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: make that "gksudo" not "sudo" | 05:36 |
| lordleemo | ToddEDM: sudo cp -p /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list_backup then sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # before the word deb | 05:36 |
| tyguaike | OK | 05:37 |
| Paddy_EIRE | can I start another windowed graphical session of say kde windowed in gnome ?? | 05:37 |
| john_ | what is gksudo? | 05:37 |
| erstazi | linuxmonkey: irssi | 05:37 |
| erstazi | john_: graphical sudo (: | 05:37 |
| Odd-rationale | john_: Sudo with a graphical frontend | 05:37 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: youre supposed to use gksudo on gui apps because sudo doesnt check X authority so it can break permissions | 05:37 |
| john_ | oh man thats cool | 05:37 |
| ToddEDM | ok | 05:37 |
| john_ | If I had known that... | 05:37 |
| nobara | Hi | 05:37 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: THANKS!!! It finally worked!~ | 05:37 |
| macogw | linuxmonkey: irssi | 05:37 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: conky to you | 05:38 |
| erstazi | linuxmonkey: screen + irssi (adding on) | 05:38 |
| macogw | Paddy_EIRE: dont think so. i think kde has a way of doing it though... | 05:38 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: maybe you can help with my issue | 05:38 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: I had to take some of the inital windowing lines from your script....and after some more stuff like that, it works even without an extra delay script | 05:38 |
| Kaneda15 | anyone seen these errors before when attempting to boot from the ubuntu cd? or know how to deal with them? | 05:38 |
| Kaneda15 | [82.160787] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: | 05:38 |
| Kaneda15 | [82.160921] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) | 05:38 |
| nobara | Anyone here can give me a hand with a problem I have? | 05:38 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: totally thanks!~ yeah of course, I'll try | 05:38 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: what's up | 05:38 |
| Paddy_EIRE | macogw: no probs.. I'll look into it... | 05:38 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: look at http://c-wd.net/ath/ | 05:38 |
| kayce_ | i'm having a problem with my x server, when i try to use "New login in a windows", i get the error "The x server failed, Perhaps it is not configured well.", i've tried to use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", but this did nothing to help | 05:38 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, I'm back to my old question....I have several different computers, some running Windows, some Ubuntu, that I want to be able to access files on desktop running ubuntu....what's a good method for doing this? | 05:38 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I am totally lost | 05:38 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: k | 05:38 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: just a sec | 05:38 |
| ToddEDM | ok i have the sources file open, but where do i parte the lines i need to paste... just anywhere? | 05:39 |
| erstazi | Geoffrey2: you could setup openssh on all of them... there is openssh for windows | 05:39 |
| kayce_ | if this is not the correct channel, can someone tell me where to go please | 05:39 |
| macogw | kayce_: try "xrandr --auto"? its a crazy auto-config X thing | 05:39 |
| pabix | Hello! I am looking to a way to downscale an image with convert with a file weight target (e.g. 96 kilobytes). Do you have a convert option to do it? | 05:39 |
| erstazi | ToddEDM: at the bottom preferably | 05:39 |
| macogw | Geoffrey2: SAMBA | 05:39 |
| Odd-rationale | ToddEDM: The end would be fine | 05:39 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: just add to the end | 05:39 |
| kayce_ | macogw: thank you | 05:39 |
| erstazi | wb J_- | 05:39 |
| ToddEDM | ok thank you guys | 05:39 |
| pabix | Geoffrey2, access... read/write or read-only? | 05:39 |
| Paddy_EIRE | you are on the correct channel | 05:40 |
| Odd-rationale | erstazi: I wasn't trying to copy you, you just got first... :P | 05:40 |
| Paddy_EIRE | errr | 05:40 |
| erstazi | Odd-rationale: its ok | 05:40 |
| john_ | if I run an openssh server on my pc, will this put me at risk for my system to be compromised? | 05:40 |
| pabix | And do you want a command-line access or only access to the files? | 05:40 |
| macogw | john_: yes | 05:40 |
| erstazi | Odd-rationale: I am trying to figure my issue too | 05:40 |
| nobara | Anyone knows how I can remove a package that I installed with sh | 05:40 |
| macogw | john_: if you keep the root account locked, nobody can get in as root, so thats good | 05:40 |
| Odd-rationale | erstazi: me too. | 05:40 |
| john_ | even if I have it set up with a password? | 05:40 |
| macogw | john_: but given enough time and computer power, your username and password could be brute forced | 05:40 |
| ryan_mandelbaum | i just installed mp32ogg now how do i use it? | 05:40 |
| john_ | true. | 05:40 |
| erstazi | Odd-rationale: what is your problem? maybe you can help me if I help you? | 05:40 |
| Paddy_EIRE | nobara: what was it | 05:41 |
| erstazi | macogw: jails (: | 05:41 |
| nobara | Paddy_EIRE: netbeans | 05:41 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: so your wirless card is not picking up a certain connection? | 05:41 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: correct | 05:41 |
| ToddEDM | i clicked save , but it says i dont have permission to save sources.list | 05:41 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: is that enough output and data to see anything? | 05:41 |
| macogw | john_: keeping root account locked is good because even though they know the username is root, they can never get in as there's no password that would ever be correct | 05:41 |
| macogw | erstazi: thats a BSD thing | 05:41 |
| Odd-rationale | erstazi: Mine is actually very simple. Does the jamendo plugin for rhythmbox work for you? | 05:41 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I thought of every bloody thing | 05:41 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: hmm...let me go over the outputs | 05:41 |
| john_ | ohhh right | 05:41 |
| macogw | erstazi: there are no jails in linux, only chroots. | 05:41 |
| john_ | dangit... i shoulda disabled it | 05:41 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin1 | ||
| erstazi | Odd-rationale: I use amarok | 05:41 |
| Odd-rationale | erstazi: What's yours? | 05:41 |
| macogw | erstazi: chroots can, contrary to popular belief, be broken out of | 05:41 |
| _Oz_ | hallo all | 05:41 |
| rhineheart_m | Okay this is the case.. what if for servers where only the root user using it.. Is there a likelihood to infect the system without an antivirus? | 05:42 |
| erstazi | macogw: pishposh! ported | 05:42 |
| kayce_ | macogw: "xrandr --auto" did nothing | 05:42 |
| macogw | john_: if you set a strong password and change it every few months, you're ok | 05:42 |
| Odd-rationale | _Oz_: Hello! | 05:42 |
| erstazi | macogw: oh I know chrooted environments are not totally safe | 05:42 |
| === lipsin1 is now known as lipsinV2 | ||
| macogw | kayce_: ok. idk then. | 05:42 |
| john_ | i have an insanely strong password | 05:42 |
| erstazi | hi _Oz_ | 05:42 |
| _Oz_ | hi erstazi | 05:42 |
| erstazi | (: | 05:42 |
| john_ | took me 2 weeks to memorize it | 05:42 |
| kayce_ | macogw: ok, do you know what channel would have someone that would know? | 05:42 |
| macogw | john_: so do i. i estimate itd take 3 months of constant trying to brute force my password even with access to the hash | 05:42 |
| nobara | john_: 2 weeks O.O | 05:42 |
| macogw | kayce_: #xorg | 05:42 |
| john_ | thats always nice to hear :) | 05:43 |
| ToddEDM | Odd-rationale: im getting a popup that says i do not have permission to save sources.list | 05:43 |
| kayce_ | macogw: thank you much | 05:43 |
| erstazi | _Oz_: fancy to see you here (: | 05:43 |
| ryan_mandelbaum | i just installed mp32ogg now how do i use it? | 05:43 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: you didnt "gksudo gedit" then. | 05:43 |
| Geoffrey2 | read/write access....that way instead of having 4-5 copies of the same file, one on each computer, I can access everything from one computer...supposedly the point of networking computers in the first place :) | 05:43 |
| john_ | well I figure if somone wants access to my files on... well nothing really im just playing with linux they have just wasted a few weeks of their life brut forcing | 05:43 |
| Odd-rationale | ToddEDM: Did you edit it with sudo/gksudo | 05:43 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: you need the gksudo to make you root | 05:43 |
| erstazi | Geoffrey2: Samba or SSH, choose your pick | 05:43 |
| ToddEDM | ohhh ok , i had a sudo one open | 05:43 |
| nobara | Paddy_EIRE: no idea? | 05:43 |
| john_ | all they can get is a fun MOTD with an ascii art of ubuntu :) | 05:43 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: ok sudo shouldve worked too though | 05:43 |
| ToddEDM | it worked now guys , thank you | 05:44 |
| macogw | ToddEDM: it works, its just not recommended | 05:44 |
| Geoffrey2 | erstazi: well, I have Samba set up, I just need to figure out how to go back and undo the domain controller setup so it'll work with xp home edition | 05:44 |
| xim | speaking of sudo, any reason why the same password wouldnt work for su as sudo? | 05:44 |
| macogw | xim: root account is locked | 05:44 |
| Odd-rationale | xim: You set a root password? | 05:44 |
| macogw | xim: there is no password for it at all | 05:45 |
| erstazi | Geoffrey2: or you could even setup apache2 as a web server | 05:45 |
| xim | but sudo doesnt goto root? | 05:45 |
| erstazi | Geoffrey2: it depends on how much you want that data to be secured inside that network | 05:45 |
| xim | im a newb i thout super user meant root | 05:45 |
| nobara | Hello, anyone here knos how I can remove a program that installed using sh command? | 05:45 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: I am on a standard desktop, wired connection, so I don't really know much about wireless connections on laptops. I don't see anything in the outputs, perhaps if you connect to a network that is open and compare the outputs then..... | 05:45 |
| macogw | xim: if you want to "su" use "sudo -s" or "sudo su" if you want to "su -" use "sudo -i" or "sudo su -" | 05:45 |
| Odd-rationale | xim: It uses the user's pass word not root's | 05:45 |
| Aprilis | All right, I need help. I had to install Ubuntu because Windows wasn't being recognized by the harddisk, but I've decided to make do with it for now. | 05:45 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: done that (: | 05:45 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: I'm going to google it though, and see what comes up | 05:45 |
| macogw | xim: it doesnt su (switch user) to root. it just runs that command as root | 05:45 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: can you connect to other open networks? | 05:45 |
| john_ | Thanks alot guys, I always find plenty of help here. untill next time I have a noob quesiton. take care | 05:45 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I dropped the WPA2 security and went open and tested | 05:45 |
| Aprilis | I am having trouble getting any .avi files I've downloaded to play--and having trouble downloading some to begin with! | 05:45 |
| Aprilis | I'm using Azureus. | 05:45 |
| xim | ic thanks | 05:46 |
| macogw | nobara: umm well it shouldve come with an uninstaller | 05:46 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I have busted my brains for hours over this | 05:46 |
| Odd-rationale | xim: User get root access by deing added to the sudoers file. They use their own passwd for sudo, not root's | 05:46 |
| macogw | nobara: sh is just telling the script to execute in a shell | 05:46 |
| Geoffrey2 | erstazi: well, I'm using a private network address range behind a router, so I'm not sure how much more securing I'd need | 05:46 |
| * nobara macogw: well | 05:46 | |
| bruenig | sh invokes the /bin/sh executable | 05:46 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: maybe it's the router then. Maybe the router is rejecting the connection from your card, instead of that problem being with your card | 05:46 |
| bruenig | it is a program | 05:46 |
| erstazi | Geoffrey2: so, you could, if you don't like samba, either use apache2 or ssh or whatever | 05:46 |
| bruenig | the script becoems an argument to that program | 05:46 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: what is the router/server? what company/model | 05:46 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: it worked in windows | 05:46 |
| Aprilis | Anyone? | 05:46 |
| kayce_ | macogw: there appears to be no one present in #xorg | 05:46 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: Linksys WRT54G (: | 05:47 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: the router works with my Nokia 770 | 05:47 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: yeah exactly, maybe the router does not identify the linux drivers, or maybe because of closed-source technology, it is black listed | 05:47 |
| macogw | erstazi: one of the old ones that runs linux or the new crappy ones? | 05:47 |
| macogw | BananaMon: those run linux | 05:47 |
| erstazi | macogw: older | 05:47 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: hm..the WRT is a great router, let me look it up | 05:47 |
| erstazi | macogw: DD-WRT | 05:47 |
| nobara | macogw: and where I can find the uninstaler? | 05:47 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: yeah | 05:47 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: oh you use DDWRT, I love that stuff | 05:47 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: let me google | 05:47 |
| erstazi | macogw: the issue: http://c-wd.net/ath/ | 05:48 |
| macogw | nobara: shouldve come with it. if it didnt....umm...too bad. | 05:48 |
| Geoffrey2 | erstazi: it's not a matter of like or dislike....when I was trying to set something up, I was referred to directions on setting up Samba and openldap, only problem being XP Home hasn't a clue what to do with domains.....so I need to go back and undo the domain controller part of it | 05:48 |
| xim | exit | 05:48 |
| xim | oops | 05:48 |
| xim | heh | 05:48 |
| macogw | xim /quit | 05:48 |
| Aprilis | Maybe I should be more specific. Whenever I try to play an .avi file, it says this: An error occured. Could not determine type of stream. | 05:48 |
| nobara | macogw: too bad? O.O | 05:48 |
| _Oz_ | does everyone pretty much agree that VLC is the best video player in ubuntu? | 05:48 |
| xim | i thought i was inthe terminal | 05:48 |
| manic12 | is there anybody here who knows about opengl/glx stuff? | 05:48 |
| nobara | macogw: no way of removing it? | 05:48 |
| ryan_mandelbaum | i just installed mp32ogg now how do i use it? | 05:48 |
| macogw | nobara: well you could read the install script and see what it did and undo all of that by hand.. | 05:48 |
| erstazi | xim: I do that a lot, don't worry (: | 05:48 |
| macogw | Aprilis: do you have codecs? | 05:48 |
| macogw | _Oz_: yeah pretty much | 05:49 |
| Aprilis | Man, this channel is much busier than I could have ever imagined. Can someone please PM me? I need help with very noobish stuff. I just had Ubuntu installed this weekend, and nothing is working. | 05:49 |
| macogw | _Oz_: i still use totem because im dumb | 05:49 |
| _Oz_ | macogw: heheh | 05:49 |
| nobara | I can't even open the .sh file | 05:49 |
| Odd-rationale | _Oz_: That or mplayer | 05:49 |
| Aprilis | macogw: I have no idea, honestly. I don't know anything. I am like the lowest level of noob. | 05:49 |
| erstazi | _Oz_: I got stuck using amarok because my step-daughter wanted her ipod music ): | 05:49 |
| macogw | Aprilis: applications -> add/remove. click the thing in the top right to make it show all software available, then search for ubuntu restricted extras (or ubuntu-restricted-extras) and install that | 05:49 |
| mosibfu | Aprilis, sounds like you dont have the gstreamer plugins that supply you with certain codecs | 05:49 |
| _Oz_ | speak of the devil, right as I say that VLC freezes up on me | 05:49 |
| erstazi | Aprilis: everyone has a beginning | 05:50 |
| Cyclonut | Howdy folks - so, ive got a weird issue with sound. | 05:50 |
| _Oz_ | erstazi: I like amarok :) | 05:50 |
| Cyclonut | after using Pandora (http://www.pandora.com) often, my sound will stop working | 05:50 |
| macogw | Aprilis: thats ok. i really ticked off a kid at my school because i asked him everything when i started using ubuntu..and he's not even a linux user. he's a freebsd user. | 05:50 |
| erstazi | _Oz_: are you busy? | 05:50 |
| Cyclonut | it is like pandora crashes alsa | 05:50 |
| Cyclonut | if it helps, I am using realtek integrated sound | 05:50 |
| _Oz_ | not terribly so, erstazi | 05:50 |
| erstazi | _Oz_: mind if you look at http://c-wd.net/ath/ ? | 05:50 |
| macogw | erstazi: why not Exaile? It's GTK Amarok. My sister uses Rhythmbox for her iPOd | 05:51 |
| Cyclonut | I have restarted alsa-utils to no avail | 05:51 |
| _Oz_ | sure | 05:51 |
| Aprilis | macogw: Show all available applications? | 05:51 |
| erstazi | macogw: did things in a hurry 1 year ago, never switched back | 05:51 |
| cjae | Odd-rationale, ok where are the login wavs kept? | 05:51 |
| macogw | Aprilis: yes | 05:51 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: do you get limited connectivity mssgs? or can you not even find the network? | 05:51 |
| Odd-rationale | cjae: /usr/share/sounds | 05:51 |
| nobara | well thanks guys | 05:51 |
| nobara | have a good night rest | 05:51 |
| erstazi | macogw: and over 10,000 mp3's, its hard to imagine loading another player with that collection | 05:51 |
| _Oz_ | erstazi: oh man, I'm the wrong guy to ask for this. :( I've never successfully gotten a laptop running on wireless in ubuntu. | 05:51 |
| macogw | Aprilis: codecs are what tell the computer how to decode songs and videos. different types of files use different ones. because of stupid US patent laws, Ubuntu isn't allowed to include them | 05:51 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: cannot even find any networks, even walked outside where I know my Nokia 770 can find them | 05:52 |
| macogw | erstazi: haha i see | 05:52 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I think its not scanning, but I am clueless on this wifi networking | 05:52 |
| Aprilis | macogw: All right, I'm installing ubuntu restricted extras. This is the codecs? | 05:52 |
| macogw | erstazi: one thing i *love* about rhythmbox is that unlike banshee it watches my library properly and just grabs them when it sees something new | 05:52 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I just plug in the WPA2 passphrase and I am done thats all | 05:52 |
| _Oz_ | what do I type in the terminal to get a list of my processes so I can find the UID to kill? VLC is frozen and I can't shut it down. | 05:52 |
| erstazi | _Oz_: htop or top | 05:53 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: are you client mode? because that won't work | 05:53 |
| Cyclonut | erstazi - ps -a | 05:53 |
| macogw | Aprilis: its more than just the codecs. itll also get you flash, microsoft fonts (like Times New Roman), and a couple other things I can't remember. flash, i think... everything you need, basically | 05:53 |
| cjae | Odd-rationale, so just rename new file to login.wav and delete old one? | 05:53 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: clientmode? | 05:53 |
| Torikun | Check out compiz on the eee pc, http://rusher.webhop.org/wordpress/?p=85 | 05:53 |
| Cyclonut | erstazi: or, ps -a | grep vlc | 05:53 |
| macogw | Aprilis: oh i said flash twice. | 05:53 |
| Cyclonut | erstazi - or skipping that, pkill vlc | 05:53 |
| macogw | Aprilis: java tooo, i think | 05:53 |
| erstazi | Cyclonut: ty tell _Oz_ | 05:53 |
| l815 | what's a good language translator program? | 05:53 |
| Odd-rationale | cjae: No. Go to System --> Pref --> Sounds and change the login sound | 05:53 |
| Aprilis | macogw: This is wonderful! It looks like it's going to take a while, but it'll be worth it. I've been missing Times New Roman something fierce. | 05:53 |
| Cyclonut | erstazi: hah, lines are blending together, sorry | 05:53 |
| erstazi | l815: http://babelfish.altavista.com (: | 05:54 |
| erstazi | Cyclonut: its ok | 05:54 |
| Cyclonut | _Oz_: ps -a | grep vlc to get the UID. Alternatively, use pkill vlc to skip the UID part | 05:54 |
| l815 | erstazi, yes but i want a program :P | 05:54 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: WRT works in 2 modes, client and WDS. If you are in client mode, then the problem you are describing will occur, though it should occur for ALL wireless clients....is that the case? | 05:54 |
| === lipsinV2 is now known as lipsin | ||
| erstazi | BananaMon: ah, no not client mode | 05:54 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: its not the router, I can say that | 05:54 |
| Odd-rationale | _Oz_: One way kill is to do alt+f2 and type in xkill. Then click on the frozen window. Sometimes this doesn't kill it properly though... | 05:54 |
| === LinuxMonkey2 is now known as LinuxMonkey | ||
| erstazi | BananaMon: I removed the security at this moment too | 05:55 |
| Aprilis | macogw: Man, you guys are so nice. I've tried asking people on another channel in another server, and they all called me stupid and said I didn't deserve to use Ubuntu. :< | 05:55 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: oh, so you can connect wirelessly from say windows? | 05:55 |
| _Oz_ | thanks, Odd-rationale | 05:55 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: yes | 05:55 |
| _Oz_ | and cyclonut | 05:55 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: and with my nokia 770 | 05:55 |
| Cyclonut | _Oz_: np | 05:55 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: ah... | 05:55 |
| macogw | Aprilis: if you dont mind the suggestion, check out the Liberation Fonts. they're metric compatible with (same size as) Arial, Times, and Courier, but i think they look nicer. i especially like the serifs on Liberation Serif (Red Hat's answer to Times New Roman) http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/libe/liberation-fonts/ttf-liberation_0.1-0.1_all.deb | 05:55 |
| Cyclonut | _Oz_: using pkill is my favorite, though :) | 05:55 |
| erstazi | Aprilis: what?!?! Ubuntu is the AOL of Linux | 05:55 |
| macogw | Aprilis: they're @$$holes | 05:55 |
| Aprilis | I know, right! | 05:55 |
| Aprilis | It wasn't even my choice. | 05:56 |
| k1ro | I want to use my second drive as Data but I dont see linux doesnt detect (i think) the drive | 05:56 |
| erstazi | Aprilis: ignore them, this is the official IRC channel | 05:56 |
| paul--- | I have multiple ip addresses on my dedicated server, and want the ability to rate limit by IP and measure bandwidth by IP. I've investigated this endlessly.. but snmp is flawed as it only measures bw on the interface (eth0) not (eth0:1.. etc) .. how can i get round this? | 05:56 |
| Aprilis | macogw: Will check it out! | 05:56 |
| macogw | Aprilis: the link installs them. if you dont like 'em, dont use them, but they look nice | 05:56 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: see, it is very complex | 05:56 |
| Aprilis | macogw: I am all for new fonts. I love fonts. | 05:56 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: and I am lost which way to go, I have tried both ndiswrapper and madwifi | 05:56 |
| macogw | Aprilis: http://existentialtype.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/liberation-comparison.png | 05:56 |
| paul--- | i was thinking potentially some sort of 'virtual interface adaptor' a bit like what you would use for vmware? .. but i dont want to use vmware i want to use the ips the same way i would use it if it was bound on eth0:1 | 05:57 |
| Cyclonut | erstazi: what about bwcutter? | 05:57 |
| xslh | :) | 05:57 |
| macogw | Aprilis: there's side-by-side the Microsoft fonts, Liberation, Bitstream (which is included in Ubuntu) | 05:57 |
| paul--- | with the ability to measure traffic, and ratelimit ofcourse :/ | 05:57 |
| _Oz_ | I like htop | 05:57 |
| erstazi | Cyclonut: never saw it, will it work with AR5006EG? this is the issue I am having: http://c-wd.net/ath/ | 05:57 |
| _Oz_ | thanks for that tip | 05:57 |
| _Oz_ | just installed it | 05:57 |
| Aprilis | Cool! Nice, simple, text fonts. | 05:57 |
| Aprilis | Very nice. | 05:57 |
| Torikun | Check out compiz on the eee pc, http://rusher.webhop.org/wordpress/?p=85 | 05:57 |
| erstazi | _Oz_: I use it sometimes, its more detailed than top | 05:57 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: yeah, erstazi.....I can't find any solutions to this online either.....logically speaking, the problem seems to be of communication between the 2 devices. Have you tried using another version of DD-WRT? | 05:58 |
| dubby | hey anyone, im having trouble starting amarok, im using ubuntu gutsy and xgl / compiz and when i start amarok it tells me it cannot find kmail | 05:58 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: or here's an idea! | 05:58 |
| Cyclonut | erstazi: dunno, but thats what I use to work with my broadcom-based wireless card. | 05:58 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I think its the actual chip | 05:58 |
| macogw | dubby: use exaile instead | 05:58 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: and thats what worries me ): | 05:58 |
| macogw | dubby: amarok wants kde stuff, for example kmail. exaile is the gtk version of amarok. | 05:58 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: use restricted drivers from windows on your linux instead of the open source ones | 05:58 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: could that help? | 05:58 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: have done that | 05:58 |
| macogw | dubby: meaning it doesnt need to load a ton of extra libraries from kde inside your gnome | 05:58 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: thats what ndiswrapper does | 05:58 |
| r0b | when is the release date for 8.04 anyone know? | 05:59 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: haha..you've tried everything eh | 05:59 |
| macogw | r0b: april 24 | 05:59 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: almost, I am probably missing something | 05:59 |
| BananaMon | r0b: in april I think | 05:59 |
| macogw | BananaMon: thats the obvious answer | 05:59 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: thats why I put together that small html doc with the outputs | 05:59 |
| r0b | macogw: ty | 05:59 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, since a domain controller is out, would samba with wins support work reasonably well? | 05:59 |
| r0b | BananaMon: ty | 05:59 |
| dubby | ok macogw | 05:59 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: because I might have missed *one* thing | 05:59 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: hmm yeah...I'm really sorry, I can't seem to come up with anything | 05:59 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: yeah I know the feeling | 05:59 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: I appreciate the help | 05:59 |
| k1ro | I want to use my second drive as Data but I dont see linux doesnt detect (i think) the drive | 06:00 |
| erstazi | maybe I just need some jack daniels to help, I have to finish this 1.75 litre off anyways | 06:00 |
| macogw | k1ro: what version of ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| macogw | k1ro: and what format is the drive? | 06:00 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: sorry man, It's 1am now here anyway and I have to go to bed, I do really appreciate your help though. If in the coming days I hear anything about the problem or find something related to it, I'll post it on the ubuntuforums, where I'm called Dasani | 06:00 |
| macogw | k1ro: is it NTFS (aka Windows format)? | 06:00 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: same here, its 1am here | 06:00 |
| Kira | What does a dns record that starts with the AT sign ("@") do? I have a record that reads "@ A <ip address>" in the zone file of my domain, aside from the usual "* A <ip address>" and "www A <ip address>". Is that somehow wrong? My domain information isn't getting pushed to the DNS nodes. | 06:00 |
| Cyclonut | well I've got a question - my sound quits working after using certain flash sites (pandora). I have restarted alsa-utils to no avail. If I restart, it works fine, but I dont want to restart. what should I o? | 06:00 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: hope you find it before that though! cheers | 06:00 |
| macogw | BananaMon: crap it IS 1am! | 06:00 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: lol | 06:00 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: tty | 06:01 |
| BananaMon | erstazi: gnite | 06:01 |
| BananaMon | gnite all | 06:01 |
| erstazi | BananaMon: night and ty again | 06:01 |
| BananaMon | and remember, sleep is imortant too! | 06:01 |
| macogw | BananaMon: nght | 06:01 |
| macogw | *night | 06:01 |
| _Oz_ | hmm | 06:01 |
| erstazi | why does time fly by? | 06:01 |
| Cyclonut | g'nite | 06:01 |
| _Oz_ | I can't seem to figure out a way to make either mplayer, totem, or VLC open a movie on a different computer to play. Am I missing something? | 06:01 |
| dubby | macogw how about ksudoku | 06:01 |
| jack-desktop | whats the vlc plugin for firefox? | 06:01 |
| dubby | it has a 3d sudoku | 06:02 |
| dubby | that the gnome one does not | 06:02 |
| legend2440 | does anyone know if it makes a difference if use UUID or /dev/hda1 in fstab? Any advantage to UUID? | 06:02 |
| macogw | dubby: thatd also load kde libraries. it can slow things down a bit if youve not got a lot of memory. i try to stick with gnome stuff for that reason. if you want to use kde stuff, thats fine. it doesnt hurt anything | 06:02 |
| dubby | obviously it does | 06:02 |
| macogw | legend2440: a little | 06:02 |
| dubby | because that program completely crashes my system | 06:02 |
| dubby | ends the session | 06:02 |
| macogw | dubby: weird | 06:02 |
| macogw | legend2440: if i want to be able to have different flash drives have different mount points, i'd use UUID because then no matter what order i plug them, that doesn't change | 06:03 |
| legend2440 | macogw: ok ty | 06:03 |
| Aprilis | macogw: I installed it, but it still says it can't determine the type of stream. | 06:03 |
| Aprilis | Totem Movie Player is what pops up when I try playing it. | 06:04 |
| Aprilis | Should I install a different player? | 06:04 |
| macogw | legend2440: when libata was changed a couple releases ago so that IDE drives became /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda like they used to be, anyone who had removed the UUID and put in /dev/hda was in trouble because there was no /dev/hda anymore. it was now called /devsda | 06:04 |
| macogw | Aprilis: you could try VLC or MPlayer. those are both common replacements | 06:04 |
| Cyclonut | +1 vote for vlc | 06:05 |
| Fersure | <3 VLC | 06:05 |
| Aprilis | macogw: Do I just sudo apt-get install vlc? | 06:05 |
| Aprilis | or mplayer? | 06:05 |
| macogw | yep | 06:05 |
| macogw | or use add/remove | 06:05 |
| Aprilis | This is very handy. | 06:05 |
| cjae | is there a bug in .wav playback in 7.10? | 06:05 |
| erstazi | cjae: describe please | 06:05 |
| cjae | very distorted | 06:05 |
| erstazi | I am starting to drain | 06:05 |
| Aprilis | All right, thanks guys. I was going to install MPLayer, but I'll try VLC now. | 06:06 |
| macogw | Aprilis: we only use command line instructions because they work on ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu the same. you can use add/remove or synaptic to install all you want | 06:06 |
| cjae | like pcm is up to high but is only 75% | 06:06 |
| Fersure | Aprilis: VLC will play pretty much anything. | 06:06 |
| _Oz_ | aprilis: I think you'll like VLC | 06:06 |
| bony | can some one help with grep and sed? i have a file which contains output of ls -lhSR. now i want to delete all the lines that are NOT ./ and total how to do that? | 06:06 |
| _Oz_ | Aprilis: it's the player that pretty much always works and always plays anything you load in it | 06:06 |
| macogw | bony: oh oh my department | 06:06 |
| erstazi | macogw: heh | 06:06 |
| Aprilis | That would be great. | 06:07 |
| Cyclonut | Aprilis: I would venture so far as to say that VLC is one of my most reliable and favorite pieces of software | 06:07 |
| Geoffrey2 | ok, can someone point me to a good tutorial on setting up samba to work with xp home? | 06:07 |
| bony | macogw, can you help me out? | 06:07 |
| Aprilis | I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it will play! | 06:07 |
| cjae | erstazi, are you a religious person, or sensitive to bad language? so I may show you example .wav file? | 06:08 |
| erstazi | ok, I am out, I will look into this tomorrow night some more, if anyone gets the chance please check http://c-wd.net/ath/ for my issue, I would appreciate it much | 06:08 |

| Galer | im having a few probs with ubuntu...can any one help? | 06:09 |
| Aprilis | er, video player | 06:09 |

| sutabi | <-- wireless | 06:11 |
| ChrisC_ | When the time comes for me to upgrade from Gutsy to Heron. Will my backup APTonCD still work? Or shall I wait till I do the upgrade and make an APTonCD backup then. I think I'll be using the LTS version from then on. As I have heard through the grapevine Ubuntu are making LTS to LTS upgrades available. | 06:11 |
| ChrisC_ | I'm capped and want to avoid all that downloading. Using APTonCD from a gutsy backup. Will it work on Hardy? I guess it's a difficult one to answer. | 06:11 |
| bony | macogw, with this command i am able to get the lines that start with ./, grep ^./ ls-output | 06:11 |
| josh13 | I have a parent directory containing files & directory & .svn directory for each sub directories. I want to tar the parent directory without all the .svn directories, how would I do that ? | 06:11 |
| bony | macogw, and with grep ^total ls-output i get the lines starting with total | 06:12 |
| erstazi | josh13: svn export url | 06:12 |
| erstazi | josh13: or svn export /path/to/svn/directory/ | 06:12 |
| bony | now i want to concatenate both outputs into a single output | 06:12 |
| cjae | anyone why .wav is very distorted on my 7.10 system? | 06:13 |
| gomalopa | Buenas noches! | 06:13 |
| Aprilis | All right, anyone know how to make VLC my default video player? | 06:13 |
| Galer | i recently installed ubuntu 7.10 gutsy gibbon, i rebooted and it ran fine, (im dual-booting with vista) i got on vista to find out how to install a driver for my wireless card, rebooted to get into ubuntu and nothing happens, there is a screen with the flashing underscore. any suggestions? | 06:13 |
| josh13 | erstazi ok, then i would have to commit first, then export the path ... the destination would contain only the tree folders/files without .svn, rite? | 06:14 |
| gomalopa | akguien de argentina?????? | 06:14 |
| gomalopa | akguien de argentina?????? | 06:14 |
| dubby | Galer: I am going to assume that you installed vista after ubuntu, in which case it took out grub as the bootloader | 06:14 |
| ChrisC_ | cjae try changing your sound settings from alsa to oss or the other way around. | 06:14 |
| erstazi | !es | gomalopa | 06:14 |
| ubotu | gomalopa: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es o #kubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 06:14 |
| Galer | nope, i have had vista since i bought the pc | 06:14 |
| gomalopa | ok | 06:14 |
| gomalopa | thanks | 06:14 |
| dubby | is it on multiple hard drives? | 06:14 |
| macogw | bony: sed -i '/^[^\.\/\|^total]/d' test | 06:15 |
| Galer | dubby: no, partitioned space on one HDD | 06:15 |
| dubby | if so it may be a bios setting on which hard drive you are booting from | 06:15 |
| amenado | Galer-> ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 gives you a logon prompt? | 06:15 |
| macogw | bony: thatd delete every line that doesnt start with "./" or "total" | 06:15 |
| paul--- | can i use tap/tun devices to host additional external ip addresses? | 06:15 |
| Galer | amenado: not sure, i would have to reboot to find out | 06:15 |
| bony | macogw, ok let me try | 06:16 |
| ChrisC_ | Anyone know the answer to --> When the time comes for me to upgrade from Gutsy to Heron. Will my backup APTonCD still work? Or shall I wait till I do the upgrade and make an APTonCD backup then. I think I'll be using the LTS version from then on. As I have heard through the grapevine Ubuntu are making LTS to LTS upgrades available. | 06:16 |
| ChrisC_ | I'm capped and want to avoid all that downloading. Using APTonCD from a gutsy backup. Will it work on Hardy? I guess it's a difficult one to answer. | 06:16 |
| macogw | bony: just replace "test" with your filename | 06:16 |
| bony | macogw, ok | 06:16 |
| amenado | paul----> your ethernet interface can host as many as you want..but.... | 06:16 |
| paul--- | amenado: correct, but snmp has limitations | 06:16 |
| paul--- | so if its a tap/tun device, i get over these limitations right? | 06:17 |
| Aprilis | Azureus keeps shutting down automatically each time I open it. | 06:17 |
| Aprilis | Anyone know why? | 06:17 |
| macogw | bony: regex look more like gibberish when reading them than when writing them. i think this is why perl is called a write-only language. | 06:17 |
| macogw | Aprilis: its broken | 06:17 |
| Aprilis | How should I go about fixing it? | 06:17 |
| amenado | paul----> what limitations snmp are imposing? | 06:17 |
| macogw | Aprilis: has been for a while. try deluge | 06:17 |
| BuSefer | I am installing kubuntu to VirtualBox and I got a message "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly", what could this mean? | 06:17 |
| Aprilis | macogw: "a while" meaning a day? or... longer? | 06:17 |
| ryan_mandelbaum | what is a good program to convert mp3 to ogg? | 06:17 |
| macogw | Aprilis: months | 06:17 |
| paul--- | amenado: ability to measure and rate traffic by IP address | 06:18 |
| Galer | amenado: what would that do? should i log in using my set username and passwd from the install? | 06:18 |
| Aprilis | macogw: Oh, it worked briefly for me this weekend, though. BUt all right, good to know. Will uninstall then. | 06:18 |
| bony | macogw, haha | 06:18 |
| amenado | Galer-> yes, use the username and password you created at install time | 06:18 |
| paul--- | sure the can be fixed by dodgying around with iptables/chains/etc.. but this sems like alot of work | 06:18 |
| macogw | Aprilis: after its used once or twice it gets some logs and starts dying. clearing them makes it work again, and then next time itll happen again. its just a pain to deal with. | 06:18 |
| Galer | amenado: should that fix the problem? b/c if i try that i will have to reboot this pc. | 06:19 |
| bony | macogw, it worked but all some line are still there | 06:19 |
| === LiraNuna_ is now known as LiraNuna | ||
| Aprilis | macogw: Is Deluge easy to work with? | 06:19 |
| amenado | paul----> umm not sure about that snmp limitations by ip address..each ip address can be of different scope from the other by having a diff mask | 06:19 |
| macogw | bony: what's still there? | 06:19 |
| macogw | Aprilis: yes | 06:19 |
| Aprilis | Ok, good. I need something, like Utorrent easy. | 06:19 |
| macogw | Aprilis: it has lot of options. if you dont understand the option, you just ignore it | 06:19 |
| Aprilis | Haha, will do. | 06:19 |
| macogw | Aprilis: the options are things like limiting how much of your bandwidth people can use when you upload | 06:19 |
| BuSefer | I don't understand it seems like kubuntu started from CD but how to I install it to HardDisk? | 06:20 |
| amenado | Galer-> that only shows you can log on to your system, fixing the gui is a bit different. .this test is only to show your install went okay | 06:20 |
| bony | macogw, just a sec | 06:20 |
| macogw | BuSefer: should be an installer on the desktop | 06:20 |
| paul--- | hmm going home but i will see if you arre around later to discss amenado | 06:20 |
| BuSefer | macogw: no icons on the desktop | 06:20 |
| Johnny_5 | ryan_mandelbaum: try sound converter...u could also try mediacoder with wine | 06:20 |
| macogw | bony: ooo i see | 06:20 |
| BuSefer | I chose System-Install | 06:20 |
| Johnny_5 | either is good | 06:21 |
| Galer | amenado: im quite sure it did, i logged on to ubuntu once and it seemed to work fine, but i needed to learn how to install my wireless card and it wouldnt let me back on when i tried. | 06:21 |
| Johnny_5 | just don't expect any id tags | 06:21 |
| amenado | Galer-> 1st things first, make sure you can log on and then able to sudo | 06:21 |
| Galer | amenado: sudo?? im a nub. :/ | 06:21 |
| bony | macogw, http://swechabox.selfip.org/~bhuvan/ls-output | 06:22 |
| BuSefer | what does this message mean "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly" | 06:22 |
| bony | macogw, this is the file | 06:22 |
| amenado | Galer-> you can try some linux tutorials to get you going.. | 06:22 |
| Galer | amenado: thnx. i might be back. lol | 06:22 |
| Lasivian | this is going to sound stupid, but if synaptics installs a gui app, where do I find it to run it? | 06:23 |
| ka2 | Lasivian: Applications menu | 06:23 |
| amenado | Lasivian-> somewhere in the Applications menu or sub menu | 06:23 |
| macogw | bony: and it left in anything starting with t, o, a, or l, right? | 06:24 |
| Lasivian | hrrm, ok | 06:24 |
| Lasivian | didn't see it | 06:24 |
| Lasivian | trying to see if the ndiswrapper will fix my wireless issue | 06:24 |

| Dusti[n] | buy a new sound card | 07:00 |
| Karsyth | could that be the problem? | 07:00 |

| inacoma | i dont have a gui? :> | 07:03 |
| TrustNoOne | u dont have a gui? ur hard core | 07:04 |
| nickrud | inacoma: inacoma is this a wired connection that you're losing the resolv.conf for? (just came in) | 07:04 |
| inacoma | Yes, its running through a router | 07:04 |
| cameodemon | thats bullshit everyone has a gui just some are more retarded than others at the very least the shell is a type of gui | 07:04 |
| cameodemon | unless your data or cpt. picard or some shit | 07:04 |
| nickrud | inacoma: do you have the network defined in /etc/network/interfaces ? | 07:05 |
| inacoma | I think i ruined it yesterday! Haha, with webmin... | 07:05 |
| TrustNoOne | cameodemon, no, my friend uses text based (like in fail safe mode) | 07:05 |
| cameodemon | so that is still a gui | 07:05 |
| inacoma | Yes, everythings defined... i can ping google.com's IP, but not its hostname. | 07:05 |
| TrustNoOne | how is that a gui? its not graphical in any way | 07:06 |
| inacoma | i'm connected to it with putty and winscp now. | 07:06 |
| cameodemon | or is it? hm. what defines a gui im interested. graphical user interface, does this include any system with a monitor? | 07:06 |
| Devan | Text is still graphics... | 07:06 |
| Karsyth | alright im back | 07:06 |
| cameodemon | exactly | 07:06 |
| TrustNoOne | gui = graphical user interface | 07:06 |
| cameodemon | text isnt really text but instead a pixelated representation of text | 07:06 |
| TrustNoOne | text based is not a gui | 07:06 |
| nickrud | inacoma: you can add a package called resolvconf , and add a line like dns-nameservers 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 to the interface definition, it will automatically set your resolf.conf for you | 07:06 |
| Devan | Generally speaking, though, GUI refers to a non-terminal interface. | 07:06 |
| cameodemon | maybe deleuze or derrida would have something to say about the test | 07:06 |
| cameodemon | yeah of course | 07:06 |

| inacoma | that was the start of my problem nickrud ;) | 07:10 |

| smokeyd | macogw: I found the ext2 IFS driver | 07:15 |
| TrustNoOne | smokeyd, i copy files to NTFS drive all the time with no problem, so it could be network issue maybe? | 07:15 |
| macogw | smokeyd: ext2 and ext3 are compatible. itll work fine. | 07:15 |
| smokeyd | but the problem there is file consistency in case of clean unmounts (IE windows XP crashes) | 07:15 |
| inacoma | Ok, and i should be able to do that through the router settings - right? i'm pretty sure it has nameservers in it - they would work? And how is the resolv.conf file set out? is it just "nameserver one.ip.here.yo" | 07:15 |
| macogw | smokeyd: thats a problem on ntfs too.... | 07:15 |

| nickrud | macogw: ouch, what a creepy hack ;) | 07:16 |
| macogw | mrZeek: did you try the script? | 07:16 |
| smokeyd | TrustNoOne: it i not a network issue as the file was copied between partitions on the same drive | 07:16 |
| oohboo | bluecake, in /ec/hosts | 07:16 |
| dny | trustnoone: thanks :] | 07:16 |
| smokeyd | CPU usage just went up to amost 100% | 07:16 |
| bluecake | oohboo, no it'snot | 07:16 |
| mzin1 | how do you display your ip routes? | 07:16 |
| smokeyd | mount.ntfs uses 95% or something when copying a 3GB file | 07:16 |
| TrustNoOne | smokeyd, hmm... i never copied to NTFS on the same drive as linux... | 07:16 |
| macogw | nickrud: its what i did to test my friend's Xorg on fedora. it kept resetting to fglrx and crashing X on every boot. once i made it immutable and the random fglrx initscript couldnt mess with it, we got to see a fail during the boot sequence to find out what was causing the breakage | 07:17 |
| nickrud | mzin1: route in a terminal | 07:17 |
| mrZeek | yes, and I tried to download adobe file, and tried to do it from command line. I haven't gotten anywhere | 07:17 |
| === cool is now known as brain_boy | ||
| mzin1 | nickrud: thanks | 07:17 |
| egoleo | hello | 07:17 |
| oohboo | bluecake, are you looking in /etc/hosts.conf or /etc/hosts? | 07:17 |
| macogw | mrZeek: thats 32bit only | 07:17 |
| smokeyd | macogw: do you now of a windws driver that also supports the journalling of ext3? | 07:17 |
| nickrud | macogw: makes sense for troubleshooting. I've used it myself, but it itched so badly I found the real reason (as you did) | 07:17 |
| macogw | mrZeek: there's a script someone wrote to automate it on 64bit | 07:17 |
| egoleo | after ubuntu 7.10 installation, i get busybox and some stuffs | 07:17 |
| egoleo | is there a way to fix it | 07:17 |
| macogw | smokeyd: no | 07:18 |
| bluecake | oohboo, both | 07:18 |
| bluecake | oohboo, both not there | 07:18 |
| mrZeek | macogw where can i find this script? | 07:18 |
| smokeyd | macogw: ok, thanks | 07:18 |
| oohboo | bluecake, on mine the /etc/hosts file has etho setting | 07:18 |
| inacoma | Ok, my router settings give me these addresses: Public IP Address (No), Public Network Mask (No), Public Default Gateway (No), Domain Name Server 1 (Maybe? It looks like a normal IP.), Domain Name Server 2 (Maybe? It looks like a local network IP.), and DHCP Server IP Address (??) Which one should i use, and again (to be sure) it would be "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"? | 07:18 |
| bluecake | oohboo, ubuntu? | 07:19 |
| bluecake | u sure? | 07:19 |

| cow_sendiri | cewek ada | 07:31 |
| Karsyth | now what | 07:31 |
| MenZa | HorizonXP: *maybe* Adobe's own reader will do that. Let me try. | 07:31 |
| HorizonXP | MenZa: it does not. | 07:32 |
| cameodemon | adobe's own reading is awful on system resources = slower than death | 07:32 |
| MenZa | HorizonXP: Ah. | 07:32 |
| HorizonXP | MenZa: can't even open EPS | 07:32 |
| MenZa | Yeah, it is, cameodemon | 07:32 |
| oohboo | bluecake, try - sudo dhclient eth0 | 07:32 |
| MenZa | HorizonXP: Hmm. Inkscape? | 07:32 |
| jms_ | I don't think Inkscape opens EPS | 07:32 |
| cameodemon | theres a really amazing dvi/ps viewer im going to go look for what i have again | 07:32 |
| HorizonXP | MenZa: ugh, that'd be a big install. | 07:32 |
| MenZa | jms_: It saves to EPS | 07:32 |
| nickrud | HorizonXP: maybe display , part of imagemagick? (don't have an eps to check with) | 07:32 |
| Karsyth | cameodemon: i installed the gui | 07:33 |
| MenZa | Nah, 40-50 megs? | 07:33 |
| MenZa | Or maybe display, like nickrud suggests. | 07:33 |
| cameodemon | ok now type in alsamixergui in the terminal and tell me what driver it shows? | 07:33 |
| HorizonXP | I'll try display | 07:33 |

| cameodemon | like, double clicking | 07:33 |
| Karsyth | yeah | 07:34 |
| Karsyth | they arent muted | 07:34 |
| cameodemon | what driver does it say? | 07:34 |

| Karsyth | card, chip, or bothj | 07:34 |
| cameodemon | um | 07:34 |
| cameodemon | is this is alsamixergui? | 07:34 |

| ArthurArchnix | Yigal, what version of Ubuntu are you using? | 07:41 |
| cameodemon | eh that might be looking for an onboard speaker that you may or may not have attached (i usually dont because im living dangerously) | 07:41 |
| gan | hi i am getting error for installing windows as guest OS by using xen....FATAL:could not read disk | 07:41 |
| macogw | HorizonXP: does evince? | 07:41 |
| Karsyth | even at that, i have multiple programs open that use sound, and i get nothing | 07:42 |
| Karsyth | i also get errors when i try to play music | 07:42 |
| cameodemon | ok | 07:42 |
| cameodemon | so you downloaded those two .sh files right? | 07:42 |
| macogw | yigal: if youre on gutsy, id suggest getting rid of beagle and using tracker. tracker has a lot of nice options for configuring that | 07:42 |
| HorizonXP | macogw: yes, but the problem is that it doesn't zoom in enough; so I need something that'll either zoom in more, or something to resize EPS | 07:42 |
| Karsyth | yes | 07:43 |
| macogw | ooo | 07:43 |
| cameodemon | ok | 07:43 |
| loma1 | gan hai | 07:43 |
| Karsyth | im not sure if i did that command correctly though | 07:43 |
| cameodemon | are they on the desktop? | 07:43 |
| Karsyth | yes | 07:43 |
| cameodemon | if so, terminal > cd Desktop/ | 07:43 |
| cameodemon | then | 07:43 |
| cameodemon | chmod +x alsa_1.sh | 07:43 |
| cameodemon | then, chmod +x alsa_2.sh | 07:44 |
| Karsyth | done and done | 07:44 |
| cameodemon | then, ./alsa_1.sh and then run ./alsa_2.sh | 07:44 |
| cameodemon | let me know of any errors | 07:44 |
| Karsyth | permissions denied | 07:45 |
| Karsyth | i dont think the chmod worked | 07:45 |
| macogw | yigal: tracker is beagle's replacement. as far as i've noticed, there's no beagle on hardy | 07:45 |
| Karsyth | it just went to the next line when i entered it | 07:45 |
| macogw | Karsyth: ls -l | 07:45 |
| cameodemon | sudo chmod +x alsa_1.sh then | 07:45 |
| macogw | Karsyth: if there are x's in the left part, it worked. if not, it failed. | 07:45 |
| cameodemon | yeah thats also a good idea to make sure theyre in that directory | 07:45 |
| gan | xen is not working in my system.. | 07:45 |
| what_if | I need to install the package telnet, but not have apt add it to inetd.conf. Can apt do this ?? | 07:45 |

| Karsyth | alright, then i guess its working | 07:48 |
| macogw | Karsyth: but you're in /home/karsyth/Desktop now, right? | 07:49 |

| macogw | Karsyth: then chmod worked fine | 07:51 |
| Karsyth | alright, so run the scripts now? | 07:51 |
| macogw | Karsyth: now you need t run them | 07:51 |

| Karsyth | and i can just double click them to do that correct? | 07:52 |
| gr1ff1n | can someone help me to figure out why I can t install awn, it keeps telling me " configure: error: Package requirements (pygtk-2.0 >= 2.8.0) were not met" but I have installed all the necessary packages | 07:52 |

| nickrud | gr1ff1n: you need a development header package, it will end in -dev . Have you installed one yet? | 07:52 |
| macogw | loma1: we can read, we just dont know the answer | 07:52 |
| nickrud | gr1ff1n: probably python-gtk2-dev | 07:53 |
| oohboo | loma1, if someone knows an answern they will share :) | 07:53 |
| oohboo | *answer | 07:53 |
| gr1ff1n | nickrud, I have installed it python-gtk-dev if its what you are talking about but still the same | 07:53 |
| sleepster | anyone know of some awesome system monitoring software? | 07:54 |
| nickrud | gr1ff1n: strange, that's from the pygtk source package, and 2.12 | 07:54 |

| nickrud | !awn | 07:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about awn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:54 |
| gr1ff1n | yep I know | 07:54 |
| Karsyth | it went through a whole downloading process, but along the way i still got permission errors | 07:54 |

| macogw | Karsyth: try running it with sudo | 07:57 |
| Oi2Life | I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to try and reconfigure X and it gave me the error message that "xserver-org is not installed" now after I've run it once already | 07:57 |
| gr1ff1n | nickrud: when I run autogen.sh, I get the error and I can t go further | 07:57 |
| Karsyth | so the same command except with sudo in front of it? | 07:57 |
| J-_ | How can I see what my laptop mac address is? my router isn't picking it up. It did before, but it isn't now. | 07:57 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: did you spell it right? | 07:58 |
| Oi2Life | yep | 07:58 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: the error message shows it spelled wrong | 07:58 |
| macogw | Karsyth: yep | 07:58 |
| macogw | J-_: ifconfig | 07:58 |
| Karsyth | macogw: still got the same permission errors | 07:58 |
| macogw | J-_: itll show the mac address for all your interfaces | 07:59 |
| Oi2Life | I might've typo | 07:59 |
| macogw | Karsyth: what did you run? | 07:59 |
| Oi2Life | Typo'd when I typed it back | 07:59 |
| Oi2Life | Let me double check | 07:59 |
| J-_ | macogw: ah okay, cool. thanks | 07:59 |
| Karsyth | karsyth@K4:~/Desktop$ sudo ./alsa_1.sh | 07:59 |
| macogw | J-_: well itll show all the info for all your interfaces....which one's the mac should be obvious enough | 07:59 |
| nickrud | gr1ff1n: I haven't compiled awn, and have no intention ;) I like packages, and have only compiled libgpod since I have a new nano | 07:59 |
| macogw | Karsyth: that looks right... maybe do "sudo -s" first and then just "./alsa_1.sh" | 08:00 |
| Oi2Life | okay I works now, heh. I did mistype it | 08:00 |
| Oi2Life | Sorry for that | 08:00 |
| macogw | Karsyth: the script might be assuming you're running as actual root | 08:00 |
| jamil_11020429 | i have added medibuntu repo : of no use though | 08:00 |
| Karsyth | it does mention something like that | 08:00 |
| Oi2Life | But now I hope I can get it to work this time | 08:00 |
| l815 | how do i install an elf file? | 08:00 |
| Oi2Life | Is the correct command to run x from console "startx"? | 08:00 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: not sure how well itd work. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 08:01 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: that would start up the login screen and everything | 08:01 |
| erealz | ok im stuck how can I get apache to point to phpbb witchi just installed via apt-get? | 08:01 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: ive used startx to start fluxbox when i didnt have a login manager installed...dont know what happens if you try startx and have gnome and all installed | 08:01 |
| Karsyth | how can i show you what it said without spamming the channel? | 08:01 |
| Devan | Karsyth: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 08:02 |
| Oi2Life | yeah I'm using gnome | 08:02 |
| Oi2Life | As a matter of fact | 08:02 |
| gr1ff1n | nickrud: thanks anyway, is your new nano working fine with libgpod ??? cos everytime the music disapear for me its crap | 08:02 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: ok then just start up gdm | 08:02 |
| Oi2Life | Would you recommend using "Auto detect hardware" for xserver-xorg? | 08:02 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: thats gnome display manager | 08:02 |
| macogw | gr1ff1n: is it a fall 2007 model? | 08:03 |

| Oi2Life | yeah gdm did a core dump lol | 08:03 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: ooo not fun. i guess you could try startx... | 08:03 |
| Oi2Life | without the sudo though | 08:04 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: oh you have to sudo it | 08:04 |
| gr1ff1n | macogw: 8gb black nano | 08:04 |
| Karsyth | macogw: in the beginning it said there were permission errors but its been running TONS of scripts for a few minutes now | 08:04 |
| Oi2Life | hmm screen's flashing | 08:04 |
| gr1ff1n | don t know the year | 08:04 |
| macogw | gr1ff1n: er...i know nothing about apple....is that one of the new ones? | 08:04 |

| macogw | gr1ff1n: that site has packages you can install to update libgpod and get around apple being full of jerks | 08:05 |
| macogw | Karsyth: ok... | 08:06 |
| gr1ff1n | macogw: thanks a lot for that I ll try it right now | 08:06 |
| macogw | Karsyth: then i guess it's working | 08:06 |
| Karsyth | now reboot your machine, and run alsa_2 | 08:06 |
| salatyel | hello | 08:06 |
| Karsyth | maybe it thinks i dont have permissions but it did it anyways? | 08:06 |
| macogw | Karsyth: did you sudo -s first? | 08:06 |
| BuSefer | in which virtual machine for windows does ubuntu run best? | 08:07 |
| macogw | Karsyth: thatd make it a root shell | 08:07 |
| Karsyth | macogw: i think so | 08:07 |
| Karsyth | no i didnt, should i redo it like that? | 08:07 |
| macogw | BuSefer: from what i read, virtualbox is the fastest vm for graphics | 08:07 |
| macogw | Karsyth: well if it worked i guess not | 08:08 |
| icesword | BuSefer, vmware workstation | 08:08 |
| BuSefer | macogw: what do you mean "for graphics"? | 08:08 |
| aninhumer | Hmm, if that isn't possible, is there an easy way to swap round a symlink and its target file? | 08:08 |
| Karsyth | macocgw: like i said, in the beginning it said there were permission errors but it went through anyways | 08:08 |
| macogw | BuSefer: most graphically responsive...like redrawing the screen, it won the benchmarks, so 3D stuff would work well in there as compared to vmware or qemu | 08:08 |
| Oi2Life | when would you use the -i param with sudo? | 08:08 |
| Karsyth | macogw: oh, that did it, its running without errors now | 08:09 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: if you wanted it to be like su - | 08:09 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: it switches to root's environment | 08:09 |
| BuSefer | macogw: what about 2D? I mean usual usage without 3D, I am not going to run games, but I want responsive interface | 08:09 |
| macogw | Oi2Life: i think its annoying because wherever i've cd'd gets undone and my vimrc and bashrc are gone...but since there are some apps which require root's env. to run because they are in /sbin... | 08:10 |
| macogw | BuSefer: i dont know exactly. the benchmarks were done with drawing squares and circles and things | 08:10 |
| macogw | BuSefer: so i guess 2D was fastest too | 08:10 |
| macogw | BuSefer: qemu's still faster for computational things | 08:10 |
| Oi2Life | it says *Stating Gnose Display Manager.. then quits | 08:11 |
| BuSefer | ok. thank you. will use virtubox | 08:11 |
| Oi2Life | for thhmmm | 08:11 |
| Oi2Life | hmmm* | 08:11 |
| BuSefer | computational things? qemu? | 08:11 |
| Oi2Life | it says gmd's running now | 08:11 |

| aninhumer | I could probably work out how to do it with a script, but I just wondered if there was already something to do it | 08:17 |

| Karsyth | macogw: how do i set where im running commands from, and whats the command to run from root again? | 08:19 |
| aninhumer | ArthurArchnix, so that where the symlink was there is the target file, and at the old target, there is a symlink to it | 08:19 |
| ArthurArchnix | aninhumer: Oh... you mean like reverse the direction in which the link points? | 08:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | aninhumer: Yikes. No.. | 08:20 |

| nickthorley | hi all - does ubuntu have frequent updates - I am only asking as I downloaded the 7.10 media a while ago and built a laptop at the weekend but the number of updates that downloaded were very small - I used to use fedora and I would have had probably 100 updates - I understand not many packages were on at the start but still didnt seem many | 08:22 |
| prince_jammys | Karsyth: cd changes directory | 08:23 |
| Karsyth | thanks | 08:23 |
| shock | OSS- https://202.5.225.73/ | 08:23 |

| Parsec300 | nickthorley: yes, there are updates very frequently. | 08:23 |
| Parsec300 | nickthorley: on a new install I get over 100 updates so far. | 08:23 |
| ArthurArchnix | I downloaded a xubuntu cd the other day and there were like 200MB of updates :P | 08:23 |
| cirilo | is there a software that will open Publisher 2007 files? | 08:24 |
| ArthurArchnix | Publisher. :P | 08:24 |
| row | lol | 08:24 |
| nickthorley | parsec300: wonder why mine didnt seem to get many - strange - I am not on the machine at the moment but when I am I will pop in this room and double check my kernel version. | 08:24 |
| cirilo | ... ha | 08:24 |
| juice_ | !vmware | 08:24 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 08:24 |
| cirilo | ok... vmware it is..thx | 08:25 |
| ArthurArchnix | About a year ago I looked into the problem cirilo... and the answer at that time was no. You had to use publisher to save it as another format, like .ps but perhaps things have changed in the intervening time. | 08:25 |
| cirilo | ok arthur | 08:25 |
| nickthorley | can anyone quickly outline for me what happens with the root user on ubuntu - on fedora the installation asks you for a password which is the root one and then you set up other users after that. May be me being forgetful but cant remember being asked for a root password on install | 08:26 |
| ArthurArchnix | cirilo: VM ware isn't for publisher files per se, it's software to run another OS inside your current one. So you could, for example, install XP, then publisher 2007, then open your file all from withint ubuntu. | 08:26 |
| Parsec300 | nickthorley: isn't the kernel updated by the same update process? | 08:26 |
| Karsyth | anyone know why i cant set my resolution above 800 X 600? | 08:26 |
| nickthorley | parsec300: yes it is what I meant was by checking if that is up to date I will know I have got the updates properly as the process seemed too quick to me | 08:27 |
| cirilo | right.. i have an existing xp that is stable..but i want to get back to linux... so im thinking of switching but the publisher has me nervous.. | 08:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickthorley: post the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list using pastebin | 08:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | cirilo: If you need publisher then you're looking at a dualboot situation, vm situation, or learning to use scribus | 08:28 |
| nickthorley | arthurArchnix: will do when i am back at home - at work at the moment | 08:28 |
| ArthurArchnix | cirilo: Or just giving it up altogether, keeping your eye on the wineapp database and seeing when publisher 2007 reaches gold. | 08:28 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickthorley: Working hard I see, | 08:29 |
| cirilo | arthur: does scribus open .pub files or just it's own? | 08:29 |
| nickthorley | arthurarchnix: dont start yet - in the office early | 08:29 |
| ArthurArchnix | cirilo: http://www.scribus.net/ last time I checked (a year ago) it did not. | 08:29 |

| DASPRiD | iter, pass 8/26 yet ^_^ | 08:34 |
| cirilo | yea.. publisher doesn't split the colors or anything buy my organization uses the darn thing.. so i have to approve files.. i might use a second computer for windows only stuff.. not ideal but maybe necessary | 08:34 |

| Muhammad_Saad | Hello, I have a question. Does a standalone Edubuntu workstation installation also contain the kernel headers? I will need them to compile the driver for my modem? I want to make everything ready before I install Edubuntu. I have asked at #edubuntu but got no reply. | 08:46 |
| oohboo | loma1, sorry - don't use xen - but if it sees the iso but can't read it there most likely is an error in the file | 08:46 |

| X-Seti | there is some libs in that pack that fixed gfx issues for me | 09:03 |
| xim | why doesnt gutsy come with 3dwindows for compiz | 09:03 |
| X-Seti | it does if you install it | 09:03 |
| xim | install compiz you mean? | 09:03 |
| X-Seti | yeah | 09:03 |
| X-Seti | your need to install KDE first | 09:04 |
| gene_ | anyone got projectM working? | 09:04 |
| coincoin169 | hello | 09:04 |
| Giddion | hi | 09:04 |
| gene_ | hi | 09:04 |
| xim | i see, i ended up just installing the 3dwindows package | 09:04 |
| * X-Seti runs away, far away | 09:04 | |
| coincoin169 | i have a problem with pand | 09:04 |
| ArmedKing | X-Seti, i'm not talking about video play m8 hehe i allready got that one. But it has to do with the drawing of 2d apps in Gnome. all 3d work like a rabit. But scaling this window (xchat for example) eats away 60% CPU usage and is all sloppy | 09:04 |
| Giddion | I've just got ubuntu for the first time, im new to nix and id like tips on where to start? any guides? any tips on what to enter into the command line? | 09:04 |
| coincoin169 | i am trying to established a pan via bluetooth | 09:05 |
| coincoin169 | I use pand and it tells me | 09:05 |
| coincoin169 | Connection failed. File exists (17) | 09:05 |
| X-Seti | ArmedKing, thats weird, X-Chat and other 2d apps are fine on here. | 09:05 |
| dgjones | !terminal | Giddion, This should give you a good start on terminal commands | 09:05 |
| ubotu | Giddion, This should give you a good start on terminal commands: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 09:05 |
| coincoin169 | have you any idea wich file exists ?? | 09:05 |
| Giddion | dgjones: thanks | 09:06 |
| ArmedKing | X-Seti, Every single window i open is a pain to move around and rescale | 09:06 |
| pajamian | Keith_: I would venture to guess that your install CD is corrupted or you may have a failing CD ROM drive. Try the boot menu option to check the CD. | 09:06 |
| matthijs | Hi, sound is gone after APM hibernate on T30 any pointers to quick fix/doc without the need to get intimate on kernel docs? | 09:06 |
| Giddion | dgjones but as it stands atm i have a command line :) its the server install i dont think it comes with a GUI? | 09:06 |
| X-Seti | ArmedKing, whats your screen res, mines 800x600 as i have an unknown moniter. | 09:06 |
| dgjones | Giddion, also https://help.ubuntu.com/ is a good resource for starting with Ubuntu, along with http://ubuntuforums.org/ | 09:06 |
| pajamian | Giddion: is a server install what you wanted? | 09:07 |
| dgjones | Giddion, thats right, the server install doesn't include the graphical interface | 09:07 |
| ArmedKing | X-Seti, 1680x1050, on an Nvidia Geforce 8600GTS (dual) sli connected | 09:07 |
| Keith___ | !ask | 09:07 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 09:07 |
| Giddion | pajamian yes, i want to see if i can run and maintain a web/sql server | 09:07 |
| === LSD|Ninj1 is now known as LSD|Ninja | ||
| matthijs | Giddion | 09:07 |
| Giddion | i understand web hosting + mysql (i run a 2k3 server) but i wanna give linux a try | 09:07 |
| matthijs | The server is running now, yes? | 09:07 |
| Giddion | Matthai yep on VM | 09:07 |
| X-Seti | I have dual 8800 SLI Ultras, no problems at all. | 09:07 |
| matthijs | ah ok. My way would be to get putty and work over ssh | 09:08 |
| Keith___ | pajamian well i was able to install from the disc no problem on another pc? but i will check the disc gimme a few | 09:08 |
| matthijs | see if you can get that up running first. | 09:08 |
| X-Seti | i have 2 boxes with kubutu installed | 09:08 |
| matthijs | You propably have to enable some script in /etc/rc.d | 09:08 |
| Giddion | Matthai: ye? ok lets have a go :) | 09:08 |
| Keith___ | i got the same error | 09:09 |
| matthijs | Ok, but promise you'll look up the dos2linux howto and the bash basics afterwards :) | 09:09 |
| Giddion | lol, i promise :) | 09:09 |
| matthijs | You know unix comes with multiple levels right | 09:09 |
| matthijs | single user, multi user, graphical shell | 09:09 |
| Giddion | yep | 09:09 |
| pajamian | Giddion: usually you maintain such a server remotely and the most efficient way is to do so via the command line, so you would connect to it with ssh as matthijs just recommended. | 09:09 |
| Slart | X-Seti: what kind of performance do you get from that SLI setup? 2 times the speed of one? 1.5 times? | 09:09 |
| X-Seti | ArmedKing, id say reinstall it all with, or change something in the x-org settings. | 09:09 |
| kiss_son | anyone know where can learn 'sed' easily ? | 09:09 |
| matthijs | so you're on level 3 | 09:09 |
| matthijs | multi-user | 09:10 |
| matthijs | kiss_son, the internet... google | 09:10 |
| Slart | kiss_son: read the man page.. there are probably tutorials and howto's on the net | 09:10 |
| Giddion | Matthai starting big :) | 09:10 |
| matthijs | yeah, well basics my friend | 09:10 |
| matthijs | go to /etc/rc3.d | 09:10 |
| matthijs | checkout the startup scripts | 09:10 |
| === santri is now known as ary | ||
| ArmedKing | X-Seti, i just done a fresh install havent changed a thing on this box ツ | 09:10 |
| X-Seti | Slap_Sti1k, its hard to tell running 3dmax max, or any other rendering program. | 09:11 |
| prince_jammys | kiss_son: go to #sed and read the topic links | 09:11 |
| Giddion | looking now, | 09:11 |
| X-Seti | Slap_Sti1k, It's a hell of alot faster then my old dev platform | 09:11 |
| matthijs | ok with ls -lha you can see all the properties on the files. who owns them, etcetera | 09:11 |
| kiss_son | ok,,,, it may be too dificult | 09:11 |
| X-Seti | ArmedKing, I installed from a live cd.. ? | 09:11 |
| kiss_son | thx | 09:12 |
| Giddion | how do i view the rc3.d file? | 09:12 |
| matthijs | it's a directory | 09:12 |
| matthijs | cd /etc/rc3.d | 09:12 |
| Giddion | ah ok | 09:12 |
| X-Seti | Giddion, use pico in the command line pico filename | 09:12 |
| matthijs | watch the tab key on your keyboard | 09:12 |
| matthijs | it's called autocomplete. | 09:12 |
| matthijs | :) | 09:12 |
| Ububegin | how to configure GAIM to allow file transfers... :? | 09:12 |
| === santri is now known as ary | ||
| kiss_son | no more gaim it is now pidgin | 09:13 |
| Giddion | ok im there now and loving tab :P | 09:13 |
| X-Seti | tab is your friend | 09:13 |
| matthijs | I would type ( lazy as I am) cd /et <tab> / rc3</tab> | 09:13 |
| Giddion | lol | 09:13 |
| Giddion | what am i looking for in this DIR then? | 09:14 |
| Giddion | there are about 7 ble files followed by green extentions (i think) | 09:14 |
| matthijs | You're just becoming familiar with it, since this is where you start and stop scripts | 09:14 |
| pajamian | matthijs: the <tab> will actually append the trailing / to etc (unless you have another dir or file that starts with /etc) | 09:14 |
| Giddion | ahh ok | 09:14 |
| matthijs | pajamian, i did not mean that literal :) | 09:14 |
| Ububegin | kiss_son: U mean Gaim doesnt allow file transfers.. | 09:14 |
| matthijs | ok, now cat | 09:15 |
| matthijs | reads | 09:15 |
| matthijs | more | 09:15 |
| Keith___ | would i be able to install ubuntu on another pc and put the hdd in another pc and have it run? | 09:15 |
| matthijs | makes it fit on the screen | 09:15 |
| X-Seti | kiss_son, use Amsn that does | 09:15 |
| matthijs | cat | more | 09:15 |
| matthijs | reads and fits on the screen | 09:15 |
| matthijs | the | is doing that trick | 09:15 |
| matthijs | it's like a real pipe | 09:15 |
| Giddion | ahh ok | 09:15 |
| matthijs | but there's a better command, called 'less' | 09:15 |
| Giddion | cat > pipe file to screen > file | 09:15 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: gaim (or now pidgin) cna do file transfers just fine, but depending on the protocol you may have difficulty with firewalls and NAT (most home DSL or cable) routers. | 09:15 |
| matthijs | less is not more :) | 09:15 |
| X-Seti | Keith_____, install a new copy, thats the safe thing to do. | 09:15 |
| Giddion | lol | 09:16 |
| Giddion | cat opens all less opens less than more? lol | 09:16 |
| matthijs | If you're getting in to sysadmin, appreciate the unix humor :) | 09:16 |
| Ububegin | pajamian: any ideas on how to bypass all those crap | 09:16 |
| Keith___ | well i havent been able to install at all on my main pc keep getting kernel panic =/ | 09:16 |
| matthijs | well try and see. | 09:16 |
| Giddion | cant find | on the danish keyboard in nix lol | 09:16 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: what do you mean, "bypass"? | 09:16 |
| liyin | aaa | 09:17 |
| matthijs | You should really get a us one. or configure the us keymap and learn us blind | 09:17 |
| Ububegin | pajamian: bypass those firewalls and NAT routers... | 09:17 |
| matthijs | my pipe is on the middle row,next to enter | 09:17 |
| Ububegin | pajamian: so i am able to send the file over... | 09:17 |
| ^MissU^Mwah^Mwah | andika | 09:17 |
| X-Seti | Keith___ if the install in one the first HD, first Partition then it would boot, but if your hardware differs from your other, then you might have issues. | 09:17 |
| matthijs | I have no clue what type of keyboard I have | 09:17 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: you can turn off or disable a firewall, but a NAT router is more difficult. | 09:17 |
| Giddion | :) | 09:17 |
| matthijs | ok giddion, is there a file in our rc3 dir, that says something with: ssh | 09:18 |
| Keith___ | yeah i figure that mite be the case cause this pc is a junker the otherone is new that and pc's hate me i break them without trying =/ | 09:18 |
| matthijs | you could do a 'ls *ssh*' | 09:18 |
| Giddion | matthijs no SSH | 09:19 |
| Giddion | theres an S99rmnologin | 09:19 |
| matthijs | well, don't touch that one :) | 09:19 |
| pajamian | Giddion: you can do something like "less filename" but you really do need to figure out how to get a | char if you want to do anything remotely serious in a unix shell. | 09:19 |
| matthijs | yes, * / | >< and \ are elemental | 09:20 |
| Giddion | paj, when i get putty up and running itll be ok | 09:20 |
| pajamian | Keith_: did you try testing the CD to make sure it's good? | 09:20 |
| matthijs | Ok Giddion, there's staple scripts for you in /etc/rc.d | 09:20 |
| Giddion | pajamian but at the moment its runing on a danish keyboard for some reason and i dont know how to change it | 09:20 |
| Giddion | matthijs ahh i think im in the wrong folder im in rc3.d | 09:21 |
| X-Seti | compiz gnome, I didnt know that existed | 09:21 |
| rhineheart_m | how to display status of services in ubuntu gutsy server ed? | 09:21 |
| X-Seti | oh well/ | 09:21 |
| Keith___ | well i get the same error when i try to test the cd i was able to successfully install off the cd on this pc but not the other i just get the same error for every option i try if you like i can post it now im looking at the error *looks over shoulder* | 09:21 |
| matthijs | no we're not there yet, you're going to create a symbolic link ( shortcut in windows terms) to the official script | 09:21 |
| Giddion | ah ok | 09:21 |
| matthijs | however, I'm from bsd so I have to look up the way it works on ubuntu | 09:21 |
| pajamian | Giddion: there is probably a key combination you can use to get it on your keyboard, you may have to enable a setting for it (I forget which one) and I don't know the combination (since I never had to use it for |) | 09:21 |
| Giddion | pajamian thanks :) | 09:21 |
| saltera | Can you use the ALT trick like in windows | 09:22 |
| saltera | ALT 124 it should be | 09:22 |
| matthijs | Giddion, type ls -lha | 09:22 |
| Giddion | ald 124 gives me | :D | 09:22 |
| pajamian | saltera: unix uses something else. | 09:22 |
| Giddion | matthijs ok | 09:22 |
| saltera | :D | 09:22 |
| matthijs | you'll see where the other symlinks are pointing to | 09:22 |
| Giddion | yep | 09:22 |
| matthijs | it's ../init.d right? | 09:22 |
| Giddion | S10sysklogd -> ..init.d/syslogd | 09:23 |
| Giddion | yep | 09:23 |
| matthijs | so 'look' in init.d for the ssh script, like this: `ls ../init.d/*ssh*` | 09:23 |
| matthijs | it's there, but we're checking it anyway | 09:23 |
| Giddion | is *ssh* like a search param? | 09:23 |
| matthijs | nope, * is a wildcard | 09:23 |
| matthijs | it says, whatever, | 09:24 |
| Giddion | ah ok | 09:24 |
| matthijs | unlimited | 09:24 |
| BuSefer | how do I install the additions in VirtualBox? there is a file VBoxLinuxAdditions.run, how do I install it? | 09:24 |
| matthijs | you could use a question mark to fill in one char | 09:24 |
| Giddion | ls ../init.d/*ssh* returns no file found | 09:24 |
| Keith___ | pci: cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 000:00:00.0 , crc error , kernel panic - not syncing vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1) thats the 3 things i keep getting | 09:24 |
| Giddion | i did ls ../init.d/ and i cant see any ssh there either | 09:25 |
| matthijs | so you see | 09:25 |
| matthijs | better check before do | 09:25 |
| matthijs | :) | 09:25 |
| matthijs | You'll need to install sshd | 09:25 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin[Arsenal | ||
| Giddion | :) ahhh | 09:25 |
| BuSefer | how do I launch a "shell script"? | 09:25 |
| matthijs | everyone: what's the name of the openssh deamon package on ubuntu??? | 09:26 |
| prince_jammys | type: ./scriptname or:: bash scriptname | 09:26 |
| Giddion | sudo apt-get install ssh right? | 09:26 |

| BuSefer | prince_jammys: I don't know where to type this =) I am a newbie | 09:27 |
| matthijs | devron6, thanks. I had to look it up on synaptic :) | 09:27 |
| devron6 | np | 09:28 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: what directory is this script in? | 09:28 |
| Giddion | installed and ready :) | 09:28 |
| matthijs | nice eh | 09:28 |
| Giddion | very! | 09:28 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: it is on cd | 09:28 |
| matthijs | ok so now there should be something ssh-ish in init.d | 09:28 |
| Giddion | sudo apt-get install ssh installed them both lol | 09:28 |
| matthijs | right? | 09:28 |
| pajamian | matthijs: Giddion: I think it may be ssh-server or openssh-server, I think ssh is the client. | 09:28 |
| matthijs | ah ok | 09:28 |
| Giddion | yep 1 entry | 09:28 |
| matthijs | lookin good | 09:29 |
| matthijs | did it also add something in the rc3.d ? | 09:29 |

| prince_jammys | BuSefer: ok in a terminal, type:: cd /media/cdrom | 09:29 |
| Giddion | S16SSH | 09:29 |
| Giddion | yep | 09:29 |
| matthijs | right. there you go | 09:29 |
| matthijs | does it have executable rights? | 09:29 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: or copy the script somewhere, like your homedir | 09:29 |
| devron6 | giddion: id recommend checking the version of ssh ubuntu installed with just ssh | 09:29 |
| pajamian | ahhh, no you're right, ssh is a meta package that installs both | 09:29 |
| matthijs | ( look with ls -lha ) | 09:30 |
| Giddion | full rights | 09:30 |
| Giddion | lrwxrwrwx | 09:30 |
| devron6 | giddion: the standered linux package off ssh has security holes, hence why unix version of openssh is better | 09:30 |
| Keith___ | so any ideas? | 09:30 |
| Giddion | Devan ahh, ok, so how would i uninstall this ssh? | 09:30 |
| Giddion | oh wait | 09:30 |
| Giddion | it installed openssh | 09:30 |
| Giddion | :) | 09:30 |
| sylphe | ndymedia.org | 09:30 |
| matthijs | you can start it manually for now, just invoking it as a shell script: | 09:30 |
| devron6 | giddion: awsome just wanted to make sure :) | 09:30 |
| matthijs | sh S16shs | 09:30 |
| Giddion | sh means? | 09:31 |
| matthijs | shell | 09:31 |

| azuki | :) | 09:31 |
| matthijs | unix was around before your keyboard grew arrows and fancy digits. so filenames had to be kept short ( maximum of three was nice) and things needed to be simple | 09:31 |
| azuki | noob alert... how to run a .x11 file ? | 09:31 |
| Giddion | could not load key | 09:31 |
| ArthurArchnix | What does apt-get dist-upgrade do... it upgrades to the next version of Ubuntu, right? | 09:31 |
| matthijs | ah yeah. annoying that too | 09:32 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: yes | 09:32 |
| devron6 | matthjis: lol | 09:32 |
| devron6 | unix is old but not that old LOL | 09:32 |
| prince_jammys | ArthurArchnix: distribution upgrade | 09:32 |
| Giddion | matthijs it has an [OK] but 2 lines say Warning Could not load key | 09:32 |
| pajamian | Keith___: sorry, I missed that last bit, you mean you get the error no matter what you do on the one PC, but do not get any problems when testing the CD on a different PC? | 09:32 |
| Giddion | ssh_host_rsa_data | 09:32 |
| ArthurArchnix | prince_jammys: And that's it right? Yeah... I just had to check. Some guy had some updates fail to install, then another guy told him to do a dist-upgrade. | 09:32 |
| matthijs | devron6, it's from 1980 something | 09:32 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: it says "This program must be run with Administrator priviledges" :( | 09:32 |
| devron6 | giddion: installing ssh did not put the init script in init.d | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: that's ok. did you copy it somewhere | 09:33 |
| Keith___ | yep | 09:33 |
| matthijs | devron6, yes I think it did actually | 09:33 |
| Keith___ | that sounds right | 09:33 |
| Giddion | it did :) | 09:33 |
| Keith___ | pci: cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 000:00:00.0 , crc error , kernel panic - not syncing vfs: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(104,1) thats the 3 things i keep getting | 09:33 |
| azuki | is there a reference somewhere on how to execute files??.. I want to run a .x11 but noobness prevents it :/ | 09:33 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: I launched from cd | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: or did you try to run it off the cd? | 09:33 |
| BuSefer | from cd | 09:33 |
| BuSefer | should I copy? | 09:33 |
| matthijs | Giddion, it complains about the key here too | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: yes | 09:33 |
| devron6 | you should not have to generate the keys if you start it from the init instead of manually | 09:33 |
| devron6 | should generate everything for you | 09:33 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: copy it to a test directory | 09:34 |
| matthijs | wise said. but we don't like to reboot, now don't we | 09:34 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I would suspect a failing CD rom drive on the computer that's giving you problems, either that or RAM. If you have a spare CD ROM drive handy try floating it in and see if the problem goes away. | 09:34 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: make a dir in your home and copy it there | 09:34 |
| devron6 | matthijs: you do not have to reboot | 09:34 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: copy the whole cd? I dunno which files the script needs | 09:34 |
| Keith___ | ok i | 09:34 |
| Giddion | devron6: well at the moment im geting Could Not Load Host Key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key and another one saying /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key | 09:34 |
| matthijs | he ran it from the init? fill us in here. I'm no ubuntu wiz :) | 09:34 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: no, just the script. what is this script? | 09:34 |
| Keith___ | will get back to you in a bit i got 2 drives i can try | 09:34 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: virtualbox additions | 09:35 |
| pajamian | Keith___: ok, cool | 09:35 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: you can also try executing it like i said, but with "sudo" before the command | 09:35 |
| devron6 | giddion: how are you starting ssh? | 09:35 |
| Keith___ | wait i got 6 i can try this gonna take a wile | 09:35 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: try executing it off the cd with sudo /media/cdrom/nameofscript | 09:35 |
| Giddion | im in /etc/rc3.d/ and i typed sh S16ssh start | 09:35 |
| pajamian | Keith___: well if none of the six work then I think it would be fair to say you will have ruled that out as a problem, hehehe | 09:35 |
| devron6 | go to /etc/init.d/ | 09:35 |
| devron6 | do you see an ssh file there | 09:35 |
| Keith___ | yep trial and error ^_~ | 09:36 |
| pajamian | Keith___: also ... just connect the cables when trying a differnet drive, don't bother to mount it in the case until you know that's the problem. | 09:36 |
| Giddion | devron6 yes | 09:36 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: or if you are already in /media/cdrom, you can do: sudo ./nameofscript | 09:36 |
| devron6 | stop ssh | 09:36 |
| devron6 | and load it from /etc/init.d/ | 09:36 |
| Giddion | were in :) | 09:37 |
| devron6 | :) | 09:37 |
| Keith___ | yeah i wasent gonna both to mount it =P | 09:37 |
| Giddion | started with no errors, nice one | 09:37 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: it says command not found | 09:37 |
| Keith___ | took much work too little time | 09:37 |
| Giddion | ok so what am i doing now? lol | 09:37 |
| matthijs | try ssh to yourself ( ssh localhost) | 09:38 |
| pajamian | Keith___: cool, just letting you know, you never know what someone will try to do, hehehe. | 09:38 |
| BuSefer | oh, I didn't put ./ | 09:38 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: try the second thing i posted:: sudo ./nameofscript while in /media/cdrom | 09:38 |
| Giddion | from init.d? | 09:38 |
| devron6 | no | 09:38 |
| matthijs | no, from shell | 09:38 |
| Giddion | or doesnt it matter | 09:38 |
| devron6 | just type | 09:38 |

| Giddion | how would i end the ssh session? | 09:39 |

| pajamian | hehehe, Keith___: I know what you mean. Sometimes getting your desk cleared so you can get the case open is the hardest part. | 09:40 |
| Giddion | ok, so... lets se.... ive now gotta open the ssh port in my router and try to putty to the IP from my windows box, right? | 09:40 |
| devron6 | giddion: correct | 09:40 |
| hischild | matthijs, but ... winbox? it's not really winning is it ... | 09:40 |
| matthijs | Giddion, something like that yes, since you know basic system admin, you can figure that out. | 09:40 |
| pajamian | Giddion: if both boxes are on the same local network then you shouldn't have to open the port in the router. | 09:41 |

| azuki | how do I run a .x11 file | 09:49 |
| matthijs | gad0, stop calling it cli. it's "the shell" ,or "bash" | 09:49 |
| pajamian | tzd: smbmount is if you want to actually mount it you can browse the samba share on your desktop without actually creating a mount point for it. | 09:49 |
| Giddion | hmm, how do i change my IP address? | 09:49 |
| matthijs | gad0, the command is called: ps | 09:49 |

| matthijs | ps -aex will show you more then you like | 09:50 |
| Giddion | its set to 192.168.40.1 at the moment and i want it to be 10.0.0.50 | 09:50 |

| BuSefer | prince_jammys: when I search google, I often get tons of useless info=) | 09:50 |
| gad0 | any way thanks | 09:50 |
| devron6 | giddion you need to log into the router your box is connected to | 09:50 |
| matthijs | mavi, no it's an environment. cli is command line interface. bash IS the command line | 09:50 |
| mavi- | Giddion: ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.50 if you just want to change it on the computer | 09:50 |
| devron6 | and then change it from assigning 192 to 10 | 09:50 |
| Giddion | devron6 im there | 09:50 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: yeah, it's an art in itself | 09:50 |

| tommy | If its auto ip assignment, just turn off your router then turn it back on | 09:51 |
| prince_jammys | BuSefer: the more specifics you give, the better. (in this case the name of the script was it) | 09:51 |
| BuSefer | prince_jammys: I saw a book , called something like "Google - the power of searching" :0 | 09:51 |
| matthijs | that's why I said "the shell" in the first place. beit that bash is "the shell" in 99percent. like apple is the FRUIT | 09:51 |

| pajamian | tzd: At least that's my experience. | 09:52 |
| azuki | it seems that nothing is runnable on linux, is it true you have to compile everything?.. I downloaded a quake-linux "port" and ended up with a .x11, which ubuntu tells me is a "executable"... how to run it?? | 09:52 |
| josh13 | Cuetip_NL /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:52 |
| tzd | pajamian: I've tried that but all it finds is "windows network" and when i double click it nothing happends | 09:52 |
| prince_jammys | azuki: try changing to the directory where it is and typing:: ./yourfile.x11 | 09:52 |
| Cuetip_NL | and for the boot screen ? | 09:53 |
| pajamian | tzd: ok ... unfortunately I'm not a samba expert, can you browse to it from other computers? | 09:53 |
| prince_jammys | azuki: usually, you don't have to compile anything. not in ubuntu. you install packages through the package-manager. you only have to go through extra steps if you download off the internet | 09:53 |
| Giddion | hmm, cant seem to get connected remotely | 09:53 |
| tzd | pajamian: i found the share in terminal so I should be able to browse it, it's just that i don't know how to do it | 09:54 |

| Giddion | i can see it from the host PC | 09:55 |
| pajamian | Keith___: ok, good luck. | 09:55 |
| Keith___ | yup brb | 09:55 |
| prince_jammys | Cuetip_NL: look at the file /etc/usplash.conf | 09:55 |
| devron6 | yes but you will not be able to access 10.0.0.50 from the outside world | 09:55 |
| devron6 | that is a private ip local network only | 09:55 |
| pajamian | tzd: well, if you want to try mounting it, you can install the smbfs package. | 09:55 |
| pajamian | tzd: what do you need to type to see it from the terminal, though? | 09:56 |
| Cuetip_NL | ty. bye | 09:56 |
| prince_jammys | Cuetip_NL: also /boot/menu.lst . check this link:: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen | 09:56 |
| Giddion | devron6 ive NAT'd port 22 to 10.0.0.50 though | 09:57 |
| devron6 | Are you trying to access via ssh from the same network | 09:57 |
| Giddion | no | 09:57 |
| Giddion | different networks | 09:57 |
| devron6 | or from your house to your server 600 miles away | 09:57 |
| Giddion | 1 in denmark 1 in poland | 09:57 |
| devron6 | yes it does not matter if you nat'd | 09:57 |
| devron6 | 10.0.0.50 is a private IP | 09:58 |
| Giddion | ofc it does, | 09:58 |
| Giddion | im connecting to a domain | 09:58 |
| Giddion | which i mapped through DNS to the external IP | 09:58 |
| Giddion | which is then NAT'd to the internal IP | 09:58 |
| tzd | pajamian: i type: smbclient -L hostname -U% | 09:58 |
| devron6 | okay on your router did you foward ssh port 22 to 10.0.0.50 | 09:58 |
| Giddion | yep | 09:58 |
| pajamian | tzd: you type that from the ubuntu box and it sees the share? | 09:58 |
| devron6 | then there is no reason why it shouldnt work | 09:59 |
| devron6 | hmm | 09:59 |
| Giddion | i cant ping google.com from ubuntu | 09:59 |
| Giddion | but i can ping my router | 09:59 |
| Asche_83m | Hello! I'm using an envy24 based soundcared. after every reboot the sound levels are reset. any idea what I might do about it? | 09:59 |
| tzd | pajamian: Yes i type it from ubuntu and it sees the share. i am unable to retrieve packages via apt-get. Think it has to do with the ps3 modificated version of ubuntu? | 09:59 |
| azuki | yayayayayy,,... it works! | 09:59 |
| vallhalla81 | hi can any one sugest a link or file where i can learn to use the terminal? | 09:59 |
| devron6 | giddion: hmmm | 10:00 |
| azuki | thnx for destroying yet anothe piece of my autodidactivity!!!... | 10:00 |
| azuki | :P) | 10:00 |
| Giddion | vallhalla81 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 10:00 |
| Giddion | :) | 10:00 |
| devron6 | did you add dns to /etc/resolv.conf | 10:00 |
| azuki | (tho I found stuff out myself .. huh) | 10:00 |
| vallhalla81 | Giddion: thank you | 10:00 |
| Giddion | devron6 i dont think so | 10:00 |
| Giddion | dont even knew the file existed :) or what it does lol | 10:00 |
| Asche_83m | vallhalla81, http://www.admintalk.de/konsolenbefehle.php | 10:00 |
| Giddion | lemmi check | 10:00 |
| pajamian | tzd: unable to get packages with apt-get is a different issue, and probably one you should fix before trying to fix your samba problems. | 10:00 |
| devron6 | the dhcp should of done it for you | 10:00 |
| devron6 | hmm | 10:01 |
| retro71 | durring the alternate install of 7.1 32bit. error durring the base install: "No installable kernel was found in the APT sources" my install haults there. is it a bad image? i ran the md5sum and cd check before install, both came back ok. help... | 10:01 |
| devron6 | giddion i am stumped | 10:01 |
| Giddion | yep im in resolv.conf and theres are 2 name servers there | 10:01 |
| thirdy | whats the default image maker in ubuntu? | 10:02 |
| tzd | pajamian: i know but i won't be needing it really... all i need is the filesharing to work | 10:02 |
| vallhalla81 | Asche_83m: thank you | 10:02 |
| dgjones | retro71, have you downloaded the correct version? I had a similar error & found I'd downloaded a 64bit version when I was installing on a 32 bit machine | 10:02 |
| pajamian | tzd: ok, I would suspect that the reason you can't see the share on the desktop is because netbios isn't working on the computer that the share is on. | 10:02 |
| Asche_83m | vallhalla81, you're welcome ;) | 10:02 |
| rabby_ | can You tell me, please, how to move a (x) application to foreground if only knowing its PID? | 10:02 |
| prince_jammys | thirdy: the gimp is installed by default in ubuntu. you can find it in the menu under Applications->Graphics | 10:03 |
| pajamian | tzd: I really don't know much more than that, but I think the difference is that when you issue the command on the command line you are specifying the host, so it doesn't need netbios to resolve it. | 10:03 |
| Giddion | how do you "save" in nano? | 10:03 |
| Ububegin | how to install pidgin... seems like haf to install from source.... :( | 10:03 |
| Gatton | CTRL-W | 10:03 |
| azuki | now just how to run the .glx :) | 10:03 |
| thirdy | prince_jammys, sorry I meant CD image | 10:03 |
| retro71 | DGJ, 64 bit system, 32bit OS. the 64 bit OS wasnt smooth enough for me to get running. | 10:03 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: Ctrl X | 10:03 |
| thirdy | sorry I meant CD image | 10:03 |
| Keith___ | i have returned | 10:03 |
| Sotech | hello :-D | 10:04 |
| Keith___ | and with the same erros from all cd-rom drives | 10:04 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: Ctrl W , sorry. ctrl X exits | 10:04 |
| Keith___ | hi *wave* | 10:04 |
| pajamian | tzd: you may want to try #samba for more detailed help. | 10:04 |
| azuki | oh// same thing.. (mistyped) | 10:04 |
| pajamian | wb Keith___ | 10:04 |
| Ububegin | they only have the source on that site...and i cant find it the synaptic manager either.. where is pidgin :? ... thanks | 10:04 |
| pajamian | Keith___: any luck? | 10:04 |
| Keith___ | nope | 10:04 |
| tzd | pajamian: I'll do that! Thanks for your help though! | 10:04 |
| Keith___ | got the same error with all drives | 10:04 |
| Giddion | prince_jammys thanks | 10:04 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: actually Ctrl W searches | 10:04 |
| dgjones | retro71, right, not sure what that is, i'd suggest downloading again (maybe from a different location) and trying again | 10:04 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: :) | 10:05 |
| pajamian | Keith___: ok, then, next I would suspect ram (can you see where this is heading?) | 10:05 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: let me see how many wrong answers i can give :) | 10:05 |
| dgjones | Ububegin, which version of ubuntu do you have? pidgin is installed as standard on Gutsy | 10:05 |
| retro71 | dgj: agreed. ty. | 10:05 |
| Keith___ | maybe ? | 10:05 |
| Gatton | crap my bad on ctrl-w too lol... | 10:05 |
| Gatton | Giddion, if you just want to save and not exit in Nano do CTRL-O | 10:05 |
| pajamian | Keith___: unfortunately it's the "get your hands dirty and figure out which component is really causing the problem by swapping them out" heading. | 10:06 |
| Keith___ | cause i was gonna say on another note: i tried another linux and got the same kernel panic error | 10:06 |
| Ububegin | dgjones : i think i am version 7.0.4 | 10:06 |
| Ububegin | fiesty fawn | 10:06 |
| pajamian | Keith___: can you get it to run memcheck? | 10:06 |
| apdb | is it possible to change the upload speed on a server, limiting the amount of bandwith it will use? | 10:06 |
| BuSefer | in windows I could disable all special effects of the interface and thus make it way faster, is this possible with Ubuntu? | 10:06 |
| Keith___ | yeah i can run mem check what | 10:06 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: there you go, Ctrl O saves and Ctrl X exists giving you the option to save | 10:06 |
| Keith___ | think my ram is shot? or it dont like my ram? | 10:07 |
| prince_jammys | Giddion: *exits | 10:07 |
| Ububegin | btw, is a pidgin a must get.. Cos currently my gaim cant allow file transfers :? | 10:07 |
| Giddion | kk | 10:07 |
| dgjones | Ububegin, doesn't look like its available in the repositories for Fiesty, you could look at www.getdeb.net, they used to have an installable .deb file for Fiesty | 10:07 |
| pajamian | Keith___: possibly, you said it was an old box, so it's very possible that some bit of hardware is shot or it doesn't like a mixture (if you have differnet rams that aren't matched mixed on the same board, especially if they are different speeds, etc). | 10:08 |
| BuSefer | this annoying message pops up really often "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly" | 10:08 |
| Ububegin | dpjones : ok, thanks dude... will get my ass over there pronto... :) | 10:08 |
| Keith___ | oh no i dident have any probs with old box | 10:08 |
| Keith___ | its the new box im having trouble with | 10:08 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: what version of ubuntu do you hve? | 10:08 |
| Ububegin | 7.0.4 | 10:08 |
| pajamian | Keith___: oh, I got it mixed up, then. is everything new in this box? | 10:09 |
| dgjones | Ububegin, just looked myself, they have version 2.2.0 for Feisty, although there are later versions for more recent ubuntu installs | 10:09 |
| Keith___ | fairly been buying peice by peice | 10:09 |
| Keith___ | over the past couple months | 10:09 |
| Giddion | no idea how how to get this network working :S | 10:09 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: ubuntu didn't switch to pidgin in the repo until gutsy (7.10). that said, you should be able to transfer files just fine in gaim. | 10:10 |
| c_ganteng | hhh | 10:10 |
| zeno | hi a kernel update just downloaded (guessing that did it) and now sudo modprobe ndiswrapper gives the error: FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. any ideas how to fix? | 10:10 |
| mad_max02 | how can I list all hdd drives ? mounted and unmounted ? | 10:10 |
| azuki | can you easily reset the resolution of linux ?.. with a single command reset the res? | 10:10 |
| prince_jammys | !res | azuki | 10:11 |
| ubotu | azuki: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 10:11 |
| Ububegin | pajamian: Cos my collegue is using pidgin(but in redhat)... and i cudnt transfer files over to him.. so I assumed that I had to get pidgin... Am I right :? | 10:11 |
| prince_jammys | azuki: did that x11 file work? | 10:11 |
| pajamian | Keith___: well, it's still going to be something hardware related, since the only bit of software (the CD) is known to be good by you. I would run memcheck on it as the next step. | 10:11 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: sudo fdisk -l | 10:11 |
| rinovan | hi | 10:12 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: nope, you shouldn't have to. what protocol are you and him using?> | 10:12 |
| Keith___ | ok what am i lookin for with mem test? | 10:12 |
| pajamian | Keith___: you're letting it run one or two passes and looking for any errors. | 10:12 |
| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, that did the job. Now, is there a command to find hotplugged sata dvdrw ?? | 10:13 |
| Keith___ | ok | 10:13 |
| Ububegin | pajamian: U mean MSN | 10:13 |
| Keith___ | does the mem test keep running or? | 10:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: umm.. sudo lsusb ? | 10:13 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: yes, MSN is a protocol, is that what you and him are using? | 10:13 |
| Ububegin | pajamian: yep | 10:13 |
| mad_max02 | nope | 10:13 |
| pajamian | Keith___: it will run until you stop it, as many passes as you want. | 10:13 |
| mad_max02 | just listed usb devices | 10:13 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: That lists devices plugged in to a usb port... sudo probably isn't needed. | 10:13 |
| Keith___ | -_- well | 10:14 |
| mad_max02 | yeah but this is sata device | 10:14 |
| Keith___ | its on test 3 should i let it run threw 10 tests? | 10:14 |
| pajamian | Keith___: it will take a while to run one pass, an hour or two depending on how much ram you have and how fast. | 10:14 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: Oh.. you connected it after booting the machine? | 10:14 |
| mad_max02 | yep | 10:14 |
| pajamian | Keith___: there are several *different* tests. What you want to look at is the "pass" number. | 10:14 |
| neeto | how do I point a makefile to a specific gcc compiler? | 10:14 |
| prince_jammys | mad_max02: you could type "mount" to view what's mounted | 10:14 |
| mad_max02 | on eSata connector which is basically sata but you can connect sata drives outside of the case | 10:15 |
| Keith___ | well i got 2gigs of ddr 400 | 10:15 |
| mad_max02 | prince_jammys, mount showes only mounted | 10:15 |
| pajamian | Keith___: it could take a while, just let it run. | 10:15 |
| prince_jammys | mad_max02: ah, so it's not mounted | 10:15 |
| ArthurArchnix | pphhhh... mad_max02 maybe ls /dev/sd* | 10:15 |
| mad_max02 | this dvdrw is not mounted atm coz I cant find it | 10:15 |
| SleepingSloth | does anyone know a way of making xorg relinquish the 76% of my 4gb of ram? | 10:15 |
| SleepingSloth | ...that it is currently "using" | 10:16 |
| Keith___ | now on the mem test im looking at also were it says cpu info and emory and chpset it shows my mem as 2047m 1647mb | 10:16 |
| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, that also lists detected sata drives :( no luck with hotplugged dvdrw | 10:16 |
| Keith___ | also another kicker under chipset it doesnt have anything =/ | 10:16 |
| pajamian | Ububegin: I would venture to guess that the problem you are having is related to a NAT network. You will probably have to do some fancy config in gaim/pidgin to make it work. | 10:16 |
| larsemil | the acpid package installs just fine, but ubuntu is not able to start the service. what can i do about it? | 10:17 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: Unplug it, then plug it in, then run dmesg | tail and see what it's spitting out, if it's seeing it or what. | 10:17 |
| Creationist | Could someone please help me figure out why on Earth .pdf files take so long to load? Seriously, it spends about 30 seconds loading each page. | 10:17 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I'm not looking at a running memcheck atm, so I'm not sure exactly what those numbers mean. but basically put if it finds an error it will list it in the large blank area that makes up the bulk of the bottom half of the screen. | 10:18 |
| Keith___ | yeah i noticed | 10:18 |
| pajamian | Keith___: has it listed errors already? | 10:19 |
| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, that showed me something. http://www.pastebin.org/22586 | 10:19 |
| Creationist | Hmm... this PDF file is 62MB... how would I convert it to make it smaller? | 10:19 |
| mad_max02 | I'll try and mount that sdd to somewhere | 10:19 |
| Keith___ | you really wanna know | 10:19 |
| Keith___ | errors come up in red right? | 10:19 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I forget | 10:19 |
| arnold_ | oi | 10:19 |
| pajamian | Keith___: but if it's showing any errors at all it means you either have bad ram or you have a bad motherboard which is affecting the ram tests. It's more likely to be bad ram. | 10:20 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: And get more of the dmesg by add | tail --lines=20 looks like some of it is getting cut off. You'll have to remove and replug to refresh dmesg. | 10:20 |
| Keith___ | oh you know what im lookin at the middle right now | 10:20 |
| Filled-Void | Hello all my system shut down during a powe routage while it was installing a package from synaptic. Now when I open it ti tells me to run sudo -configure -a to rectify the problem. However when I try that it tells me that it produces alot of output and needs to have it piped . Could anyone tell me what to do . | 10:20 |
| Keith___ | walltime cached rsvdmem memmap cache ECC test pass errors EEC erros ect | 10:21 |

| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, okay I'll refresh the device. mount didnt work on that sdd | 10:21 |
| pajamian | Filled-Void: can you copy and paste the command and the output to the pastebin? | 10:22 |
| pajamian | Keith___: does it say anythign below that line? | 10:22 |
| Filled-Void | pajamian, sure one second | 10:22 |

| prince_jammys | Filled-Void: you're sure it wasn't dpkg-reconfigure ? | 10:25 |
| Keith___ | i just bought it like 3months ago | 10:25 |
| pajamian | Filled-Void: try --configure -a (two dashes before the word configure) | 10:26 |
| prince_jammys | ah | 10:26 |
| pajamian | Keith___: then it should still be under warranty | 10:26 |
| Keith___ | so its deff the ram then not the mobo? | 10:26 |
| Filled-Void | pajamian, Thanks will try. prince_jammys Error as per synaptic "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " | 10:26 |
| pajamian | Keith___: you will get parts that are brand new and defective from time to time, that's the nature of the beast. | 10:26 |
| Jimmey | Can someone please help me connecting my 7.10 laptop to my xbox? Both machines are connected to a switch (the lights on the switch are indicating that the cables are working and the machines are connected), and I have set the IP addresses for the laptop and the xbox as 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 respectively. The gateways on both machines are the ips of the other machine, but still they won't connect. What do I have to do? | 10:26 |
| prince_jammys | Filled-Void: yes, dpkg --configure is it | 10:27 |
| Keith___ | cause wouldent the bios have trouble reading the 2gigs if there was a prob? | 10:27 |
| pajamian | Filled-Void: yep, see two dashes before configure | 10:27 |
| amerio | hey ppl | 10:27 |
| Filled-Void | pajamian, yes its running now thanks :D | 10:27 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: It's being detected, it's just not gong any further. Might be related to this bug here I'm reading. Hopefully not, because it's currently marked as 'wont't fix' for hardy. ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88746 | 10:27 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I can't say for sure it's not the mobo. If you want to know for sure pop the ram into a known working box and run memtest there. | 10:27 |
| amerio | I have a problem , my whole system freeze when I try to run network-manager | 10:27 |
| pajamian | Keith___: and vice-versa | 10:28 |
| Keith___ | yeah thats the prob | 10:28 |
| Keith___ | thats the only mobo that i got that supports that ram | 10:28 |
| Filled-Void | prince_jammys, pajamian thank you :x . that was kind of embarrassing :x . Will try to check better next time | 10:28 |
| Keith___ | its brand new lol | 10:28 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I'd be about 95% sure it's ram right now, but can't be 100%, it could be mobo, it could be something like the power supply even. | 10:28 |
| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, yeah but thats for USB devices. This has nothing to do with usb. its purely sata | 10:29 |
| Keith___ | haha got you there =P psu is brand new 3 days ago | 10:29 |
| zeno | hi a kernel update just downloaded (guessing that did it) and now sudo modprobe ndiswrapper gives the error: FATAL: Module ndiswrapper not found. any ideas how to fix? | 10:29 |
| eradicus | http://pastebin.stonekeep.com/1663 <-- i get a file not found error module.h | 10:29 |
| pajamian | Keith___: so is everything else, just because it's new doesn't mean it's not defective | 10:29 |
| Keith___ | 700watt 80 plus cert | 10:29 |
| hector2k6pc | ha | 10:29 |
| zeno | amerio: try just modifying /etc/network/interfaces instead | 10:30 |
| pajamian | Keith___: 700w ... nice | 10:30 |
| amerio | zeno : modify what exactly? | 10:30 |
| Keith___ | yeah wanted to opt for the 1000 but dident have the funds | 10:30 |
| mad_max02 | hehe I just installed 1.2kW :D | 10:30 |
| eradicus | i already have build-essentials linux-source linux-headers-generic | 10:30 |
| pajamian | Keith___: unless you're running 20 HDDs off of it, I can't see you needing 1000w | 10:30 |
| pajamian | hehehe | 10:30 |
| Keith___ | lol | 10:30 |
| Keith___ | well | 10:31 |
| ArthurArchnix | mad_max02: I don't understand. Are you saying you've opened the computer case, and plugged in a sata drive? I thought this was a usb removable drive from the dmesg | 10:31 |
| Keith___ | i got 8 case fans extra lighting a cig lighter/ashtray 2 fan controllers 4 hdds and 2 cd-roms | 10:31 |
| amerio | zeno: whats the default settings for the interfaces? | 10:31 |
| Keith___ | oh and vid card | 10:31 |
| Keith___ | that all use power | 10:31 |
| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, nope. I used eSata bracket which is basically connected directly to the mobo. So its like i connected directly to the mobo but without opening the case | 10:31 |
| pajamian | you are powering an electric cig lighter off of it? sheesh | 10:31 |

| mad_max02 | Keith_, you got a cig lighter in ur case ???? | 10:32 |
| Keith___ | just like from a car | 10:32 |
| retro71 | this sound right? paritioning: / 10-15gb, swap 2x ram, /home remainder of free space. | 10:32 |
| Keith___ | yep lol | 10:32 |
| prince_jammys | ha | 10:32 |
| mad_max02 | and I presume one of the cds is a coffee cup holder ?? | 10:32 |
| zeno | amerio: whats not working? pastebin your sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart output? | 10:32 |
| amerio | lol | 10:33 |
| prince_jammys | coffee maker | 10:33 |
| Keith___ | nope | 10:33 |
| amerio | ok | 10:33 |
| Keith___ | the ashtray is removable | 10:33 |
| pajamian | Keith___: well one thing you may want to try is to disconnect all the "extra" stuff and see if the memtest improves. It may be pulling down your power supply (sheesh) | 10:33 |
| mad_max02 | ArthurArchnix, I'll just reboot now coz I need this dvdrw to work. brb | 10:33 |
| Keith___ | and doubles as a drink holder | 10:33 |
| Keith___ | yeah none of its hooked up right now =P i never install anything with everything hooked up | 10:34 |
| larsemil | what package do i need to be able to set the setting "when on batterypower set screen brightness to 75%" | 10:34 |
| pajamian | Keith___: well then it's like I said before ... I'm 95% sure it's your ram. | 10:34 |
| amerio | zeno : http://pastebin.ca/930175 | 10:35 |
| pajamian | Keith___: if you want to know 100% for sure, then swap that ram into another known working box and run memcheck there. | 10:35 |
| amerio | zeno : http://pastebin.ca/930175 | 10:35 |
| pajamian | Keith___: ...and as for the drink holder ... haven't you heard? that's what the cd-rom dive is for ;-P | 10:36 |
| Keith___ | well i cant doo that cause i dont have another board that supports that ram what i can do though is swap out the ram for other ram i have and see if it works? | 10:36 |
| Keith___ | =P yeah but the cig lighter / ashtry is a drink holder the place were you ash is removable so i can bring it with me | 10:36 |
| bluecake | how to display file.java as text on apache. firefox asks me to save the file, instead of displaying it | 10:37 |
| Keith___ | and thee place were it goes is the drink holder =P | 10:37 |
| pajamian | Keith___: yes, but you should be sure that the other ram is known good, and even if it still fails I would just say that the other ram is likely bad as well. But have at it, if it works then you've pretty much confirmed it. | 10:38 |
| Keith___ | yeah i know the other ram works | 10:38 |
| Keith___ | so | 10:38 |
| Keith___ | imma give it a try | 10:38 |
| pajamian | Keith___: ok, good luck | 10:39 |
| Keith___ | also is it possible that it could just be 1 of the 2 sticks im currently failing with? | 10:39 |
| pajamian | Keith___: yes | 10:39 |
| astheo | Hi, im using kubuntu now. can i still install gnome on top of this? if i can, will it be the same if i install a fresh ubuntu? | 10:39 |
| Keith___ | so should i try 1 stick at a time? | 10:40 |
| kbrosnan | bluecake: sounds like you need to set the mime-type for java to be associated with .java files, google should have more info | 10:40 |
| pajamian | Keith___: sure, that will tell you which stick to return | 10:40 |
| Fri13 | astheo: Yes, Kubuntu and Ubuntu use same sources. | 10:40 |
| Keith___ | and also should i try both ram slots with only 1 stick ? | 10:40 |
| Fri13 | Both are Ubuntu | 10:40 |
| BlackDex | Hello there | 10:40 |
| bluecake | kbrosnan, i set mime.types, but no work | 10:40 |
| pajamian | Keith___: sure | 10:40 |
| astheo | ok thanks. so how would i do it then? | 10:40 |
| Keith___ | because i just thought of it its possbile it can be my ram controller on the mobo | 10:40 |
| pajamian | Keith___: it may be | 10:40 |
| BlackDex | a friend of mine has messedup his owner/group settings and there access permissions | 10:41 |
| Fri13 | astheo: from commandline, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 10:41 |
| breakz | hello, Ive been following this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588 to install proftpd, <- and Ive checked my config, chmods etc, but I still get 530 login error, whats wrong ? | 10:41 |
| kbrosnan | bluecake: did you embed the file in a webpage? | 10:41 |
| Fri13 | astheo: and if you have ubuntu and you want KDE, then just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop. | 10:41 |
| BlackDex | he changed the ower/group in / | 10:41 |
| BlackDex | is there a way to fix this? | 10:41 |
| astheo | Fri13, will it remove my KDE in the process? | 10:41 |
| bluecake | kbrosnan, of course not | 10:41 |
| Keith___ | ok imma try running with 1 stick trying each stick on each slot then if thats a no go i'll try the other ram on each slot as well if its still a no go then its probly the mobo and wile im doing this you can breathe =P | 10:41 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: change it back | 10:42 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: recursively or only / ? | 10:42 |
| lng | hi! is 64bit arch supported by ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| Fri13 | astheo: No, it will not remove your Kubuntu | 10:42 |
| BlackDex | recursively :S | 10:42 |
| astheo | ok thanks!:) | 10:42 |
| kbrosnan | bluecake: i don't think java plugin handles bare files | 10:42 |
| SleepingSloth | problem. dpkg --configure -a fails with "/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 13: getopt: not found.......update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-generic". can anyone help?! | 10:42 |
| Fri13 | But it will change your boot picture from Kubuntu to Ubuntu. | 10:42 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: ouch | 10:42 |
| kbrosnan | bluecake: good night, afk | 10:42 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: well ... you can fix it, but you need to know what the correct owner/group is for all the files | 10:42 |
| BlackDex | prince_jammys jupp | 10:42 |
| Fri13 | And might change MIME actions so you might need to set back on KDE to open files with KDE versions and not with Gnome versions. | 10:43 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: that is a huge mess | 10:43 |
| astheo | Fri13, Thanks! | 10:43 |
| BlackDex | pajamian: that he doesn't know | 10:43 |
| BlackDex | sudo etc.. is broken now | 10:43 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: you can boot to the live CD and fix it. | 10:43 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: is it a standard setup with one user, etc? | 10:43 |
| lng | is 64bit arch supported by ubuntu? | 10:44 |
| BlackDex | pajamian: i think it is | 10:44 |
| BlackDex | ill ask | 10:44 |

| pajamian | BlackDex: well I don't know all the permissions off the top of my head, but I would try a recursive change from / for everything to root.root and then change everything from his home directory recursively to be owned by him as a user (ie, joe.joe) | 10:45 |
| BlackDex | pajamian: 1 user, default setup | 10:45 |

| prince_jammys | BlackDex: you could try running the live cd, mounting the drive and changing owners of everything to root:root. then change the owner of his home directory to his user | 10:45 |
| BlackDex | pajamian: won't that messup all the other permissions like www-data etc... | 10:46 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: is it just the ownership or also permissions? | 10:46 |
| jandy | Help me | 10:46 |
| BlackDex | prince_jammys: both i think | 10:46 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: aren't they already messed up? | 10:46 |
| BlackDex | sudo doesn't have the +s anymore | 10:46 |

| theunixgeek | How do I change screen resolution to something not available in the preferences? | 10:47 |
| zeno | amerio: its not finding the wlan0 device, what driver are you using | 10:47 |
| zeno | ndiswrapper? native? | 10:47 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: it will be a start. and yes, you will have to set the suid bit on sudo and other programs as well. | 10:47 |
| BlackDex | prince_jammys: -rwxr-xr-x i think | 10:47 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: and I honestly don't know what programs off the top of my head need suid. I would say sudo and su | 10:47 |
| amerio | zeno: ndiswrapper and its not loaded because I removed it , when I remove it the network manager runs ok , when I plug and restart network manager freeze again | 10:48 |
| BlackDex | is there a way to do a dist-upgrade --reinstall on the current stable version | 10:48 |
| lng | is 64bit arch supported by ubuntu? | 10:48 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: backing up the data and reinstalling is probably easier than repairing, in this case | 10:48 |
| SleepingSloth | can anyone help me - dpkg seems to be broken :S | 10:48 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: I don't know. You probably can if you can get the ownership and permissions good enough to be able to run sudo and apt-get and a couple other programs. | 10:48 |

| Keith___ | hey paja just for a current update i removed stick 2 from slot 2 left stick 1 in slot 1 and started getting errors off the getgo in memtest so i removed stick 1 from slot 1 inserted stick 2 in slot 1 and currently on test 4 of memtest no errors | 10:49 |
| geek | BlackDex: probably. i'd recommend backing it uo | 10:49 |
| Keith___ | so far it seems my mobo is saved lol | 10:49 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: you could create a new partition and back it up. or back it up on a cd/dvd. if you do a clean reinstall, it would be lost i think | 10:49 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: Ican give you a list of programs on my computer that have suid set, that can help. | 10:49 |
| jandy | 呵呵，我知道了，谢谢 | 10:50 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: but I need to do something real quick first, brb | 10:50 |
| BlackDex | pajamian: well, the person who needs it is offline now.. and i think he won't be online anymore.. cause i think he shutdown ubuntu | 10:51 |
| jandy | 怎么都说英文啊？ | 10:51 |
| damir_ | hi | 10:51 |
| faragelloo | hello | 10:52 |
| jandy | 谁说中文啊，可以聊聊吗？ | 10:52 |
| damir_ | Is it possible that x-server is blocking access to /dev/psaux (which is touchpad). I can do 'cat /dev/psaux' on tty1 and get data, but if I do it in X, i get nothing :/ | 10:52 |
| BlackDex | thx for the info, ill tell him to backup his /home (and put it on a sep partition the next time) and reinstall | 10:52 |
| BlackDex | cause i think that is the only efficient way to do so | 10:52 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: personally i think that's easier than repairing everything | 10:53 |
| Giddion | w00t! im in! | 10:53 |
| Giddion | got ssh working hehe | 10:53 |
| BlackDex | prince_jammys: same here | 10:53 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: you can also make a list of all installed packages so you can reinstall them | 10:53 |
| faragelloo | will this distro automatically recognize my hardware? | 10:53 |
| prince_jammys | !clone | 10:53 |
| ubotu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 10:53 |

| zeno | sure try that | 10:55 |
| prince_jammys | BlackDex: just back up /home | 10:55 |

| schueler | Hi, how to start several console programms withing the same script (e.g. by script) at once? | 10:56 |
| faragelloo | guys is anyone free enough for a beginner? | 10:56 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: well he needs to boot to a live CD and mount his partition(s) and then fix his permissions. I can give you a list of what needs to be changed as a start. I think if you just set everything to root.root and then set his home directory recursively to user.user then fix all the files that are supposed to be suid you should be fine. You may run into one or two problems that may need more tweaking later but you can always just r | 10:56 |
| pajamian | e-install the associated packages. | 10:56 |
| BlackDex | prince_jammys: i have him on the phone | 10:56 |
| prince_jammys | ok, either way | 10:57 |

| Keith___ | pajamian i think its just my 1 ram stick this one is on test 7 and still no errors you rule dude | 11:01 |
| Giddion | Whats the best Font for Putty? | 11:01 |
| BlackDex | thx anyway | 11:01 |
| pajamian | Keith___: cool, just to be sure I would let it run the full pass on that one, and make sure you see errors on the other. | 11:01 |
| pajamian | BlackDex: yw. | 11:01 |
| pajamian | Keith___: that said, if it does run well on the one stick you can get up and running now since ubuntu will install and run just fine on 1 gig of ram. | 11:02 |
| zedr | I can has ubuntu? | 11:02 |
| Keith___ | yeah but i miss my 2 gigs =P *tear* | 11:03 |
| pajamian | Keith___: sure, get the other stick replaced and when it comes in add it back, but for now at least you can get up and running. | 11:03 |
| Keith___ | my pc is part of my life its been down sins sunday i felt like a part of me is missing lol im a pc junkie | 11:03 |
| comp8 | timer for ubuntu | 11:03 |
| Keith___ | yeah thats tru | 11:03 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, wait till you start getting cold sweats | 11:03 |
| pajamian | Keith___: just make sure you allocate swap based on the 2 gigs of ram. | 11:04 |
| Keith___ | ninja trust me i been having a horrible week hehehe | 11:04 |
| Keith___ | paja what do you mean im tech and stuff but theres always somthing new to learn | 11:04 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, to make it easier for people to see your talking to them, start writing their name and then press tab, it will highlight red on their screen | 11:05 |
| pajamian | Keith___: it's best to allocate the size of your swap partition based on the amount of ram you have (usually 2x your ram), so do a bit of manual partitioning when you run the setup and allocate 4 gigs of swap, not 2. | 11:06 |
| ASmith42 | Here's an interesting one: Wacom USB tablet and nVidia dual monitor, both recognized and working, except in graphic programs, like GIMP and Inkscape. When dual monitor is active and the tablet is setup in the app, the cursor on the *canvas* is offset from the pointer anywhere between 50 and 200 pixels on either axis, depending on the input device settings (window/screen). Everywhere else on the screen, the pointer tracks just fin | 11:06 |
| Keith___ | pajamian: ok so that will be for when i replace my other stick then? | 11:07 |
| Keith___ | NinjaPlimsoles: ty for that info ^_~ | 11:08 |
| SleepingSloth | can anyone help me reinstall util-linux ? | 11:08 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I would just allocate 4 gigs to the swap now, that way it will be correct when you add in the other stick later. It won't really hurt to allocate more for now. | 11:08 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, no prob | 11:08 |

| GwaiLo | (the file was written under win32 originally) | 11:09 |

| pajamian | vladuz976: it comes installed by default in ubuntu, but if you want to rip to mp3 (as opposed to ogg) then you will need some additional dependancies, yes. I usually just install the ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package and it gives me everything I want. | 11:11 |

| astan | pajamian: oh thanks. | 11:15 |
| Keith___ | NinjaPlimsoles: there no way to boot both off the same machine or with my luck and probs its not a good idea so i can come back and fry your brains? lol | 11:15 |

| Keith___ | ASmith42: a vm huh? how would i set that up | 11:16 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, well you can use a virtual machine, but I dont think thats what your looking for | 11:16 |
| pajamian | Keith___: you need to use virtualization for what you want, not dual booting and I can't really help you with that. | 11:16 |
| Keith___ | NinjaPlimsoles: well its more or less just to use and run both side by side | 11:16 |

| ArthurArchnix | Re: apt-get dist-upgrade there are conflicting reports. The community documentation says it upgrades to a new distro, but a user on the forums reports using it all the time, in debian and ubuntu without trouble, saying it behaves more like the man page says it ought to. | 11:16 |
| ArthurArchnix | Any ubuntu gurus in here familiar with apt- and upgrades? | 11:17 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, your options are: virtual machine running linux from within windows, or two boxes :) | 11:17 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | ArthurArchnix, whats up? | 11:17 |
| faileas | ArthurArchnix: dist-upgrade would only upgrade to a new distro if you have the new distro's repos added i think | 11:17 |
| faileas | its not recommended tho | 11:17 |
| Keith___ | NinjaPlimsoles: well i can do both lol i dug up another box i was gonna run stuff on but then i would need x2 keyboards and mice | 11:18 |
| ArthurArchnix | faileas: Otherwise it simply handles dependencies differently, just like it says in the man page? | 11:18 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, I personally would virtual machine a linux distro while in windows, and just fullscreen it on the second monitor | 11:20 |
| pajamian | Keith___: it will probably work without the monitor plugged in. | 11:20 |
| faileas | Keith___: synergy would handle that | 11:20 |
| faileas | its software based, works brilliently once you manage the initial set up | 11:20 |
| pajamian | Keith___: I personally just wouldn't use windows, heh | 11:20 |
| Keith___ | NinjaPlimsoles: yeah i forget how to setup a vm | 11:20 |
| pajamian | anyways, goodnight everyone | 11:20 |
| Keith___ | faileas: ? | 11:20 |
| Keith___ | pajamian: night dude | 11:21 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, up to you what host system you use, depends which you will use more, VM a linux in win, or vice versa | 11:21 |
| faileas | Keith___: its a software that lets you use the KB/mouse on one system on another | 11:21 |
| Keith___ | faileas: thats a vm? | 11:21 |
| faileas | no | 11:21 |
| Amerio | zeno: I've removed the drivers , re-installed them , restarted networking settings , and its still freezing | 11:21 |
| faragelloo | can i use rpms from other distros into ubuntu? | 11:21 |
| Keith___ | faileas: i dont get it though its software i see that you said that but how would that let me use kb/mouse on 2 systems? | 11:22 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | faragelloo, Ubuntu is debian based, so primarily it uses .deb, but you can use the command line 'alien' to change an rpm into a deb | 11:22 |
| faileas | Keith___: basically you set it such that, one system is monitor 1 and monitor 2 is to the left of monitor one, and monitor 1 is to the right of monitor 2.. etc... | 11:23 |
| faileas | and you can just push your mouse cursor between systems | 11:23 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | faragelloo, specifically: sudo alien -d package-name.rpm | 11:23 |
| faileas | keith___: http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ | 11:23 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | faragelloo, if you wish to convert the selected .rpm into a .deb and then install the output use: sudo alien -i package-name.rpm | 11:24 |
| faileas | for ubuntu you'd want to install synergy and quicksynergy | 11:24 |
| * faileas suggests reading to docs carefully, initital setup can be a little confusing | 11:24 | |
| Keith___ | faileas: ok i'll take a look at that | 11:24 |
| BlackDex | bye.. and thx | 11:25 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | faileas, does synergy share KM via a network link? O.o | 11:26 |

| Oi2Life | Hey, question: does the setup for Ubuntu 7.10 allow you to install Fluxbox from the installer? I'd like to install fluxbox 'cause GNOME is being a bitch? Same question applies for KDE | 11:36 |

| ClrdoGuy | How do i use privoxy to modify traffic from a flash file that uses xml ? | 11:38 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Oi2Life, Ubuntu handles its window manager installation differently. Xubuntu = Xfce, Kubuntu = KDE etc... which doesnt make sense, since Gnome should be Gubuntu :P | 11:39 |
| Oi2Life | .... | 11:39 |
| ArthurArchnix | !Language | Oi2Life install a command line system, then build it up from there. or install ubuntu, then install fluxbox, then choose fluxbox from your session menu at the Gdm prompt. | 11:39 |

| mariux44 | ok, the partitions on my external drive get mounted to differente places every time. Like if i hibernate, when i resume what was /media/disk is not /media/disk-1 | 11:54 |
| mariux44 | and visa versa | 11:54 |
| mariux44 | not = now | 11:54 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | ArthurArchnix, yeah no problem :) | 11:54 |
| Keith___ | ArthurArchnix: yeah no probs im easy going i got the jist off the back | 11:54 |
| mariux44 | what can be done about that? It makes the drive almost useless | 11:54 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Keith___, just PM me if u wanna chat about anime :P | 11:55 |
| jrib | mariux44: you can set a label for it if you want. What filesystem? | 11:55 |
| mariux44 | every time i restart i have to add all my music to my music player again, change the directory of my photos in the photo program and so on | 11:55 |
| incorrect | i don't believe it the installer only created an extended partition the size of the logical ones it contains | 11:55 |
| ArthurArchnix | mariux44: Is the external drive in your fstab? | 11:55 |
| incorrect | not the full size of the disk | 11:55 |
| mariux44 | ext3 | 11:55 |
| mariux44 | no | 11:55 |
| incorrect | can i extend the size of the extended partition | 11:55 |
| * NinjaPlimsoles still has pain from where one of his wisdom teeth nuked his gum with C4.... and now feels like a gummy old man when eating | 11:55 | |
| Keith___ | NinjaPlimsoles: sure gimme a min neeed to register with freenode -_- | 11:56 |
| mariux44 | im a former gentoo user so i know how to use fstab but i thought i didnt have to do that in ubuntu | 11:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | mariux44: ok. So roughly speaking, you need to 1) create a mountpoint on your system. 2) get the UUID of the removable drive 3) create an fstab entry for it. | 11:56 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | incorrect, you can, but dont make it a habit of enflating partitions | 11:56 |
| jrib | mariux44: use e2label | 11:56 |
| incorrect | NinjaPlimsoles, not my fault the installer did this to me | 11:56 |
| mariux44 | so unless you can use the terminal the drives are supposed to move around like that? | 11:56 |
| incorrect | i just want to extend the extended partition not an ext3 | 11:56 |
| incorrect | parted can do this? | 11:57 |
| mariux44 | jrib: ill check it out | 11:57 |
| danand | mariux44 - you might try looking at udev rules. udev sets the device names etc when you start up, and i presume, again when you come out of hibernate. take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168221 for a good howto on that. | 11:57 |
| mariux44 | danand: thanks | 11:57 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | incorrect, yes parted can do that | 11:57 |
| danand | mariux44 - np. hope it helps | 11:57 |

| jrib | tom17bombadil: have you enabled universe? | 11:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | danand: a udev rule is probably better. If he creates an entry for his removable drive in fstab like I said, and its not plugged in when he boots will it throw errors? And when a disk is plugged in does it even check fstab to see if there's an entry for that uuid? | 11:58 |
| tom17bombadil | jrib, yes | 11:58 |
| Giddion | Apache2 question, if i add DocumentRoot /var/www/test to my httpd.conf, then why when i go to my URL to i get the directory list of /var/www/ | 11:59 |
| Giddion | ? | 11:59 |
| jrib | ArthurArchnix, danand: udev will call it whatever the label is by default unless it doesn't have a label. Then it does this disk-* stuff | 11:59 |

| alex-nb-linux | Hello | 12:02 |
| jrib | tom17bombadil: pastebin your sources.list | 12:02 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - that howto uses udev rules to set the same /dev/ entry for a device every time it is plugged in. hence you can then set an entry in /etc/fstab to control mountpoints for the device, along with useful options like rw,users etc. take a look at the link ... it explains it a bit better than i have. its very useful for external usb drives. the user option in the fstab will allow all users to mount it - this means the files etc will belong to tha | 12:04 |
| jrib | Giddion: because it's already set elsewhere? /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default . You probably want to look into using "sites" which I know nothing about | 12:04 |
| tom17bombadil | jrib, http://pastebin.ca/930235 | 12:05 |
| danand | ArthurArchnix - you also set an option in the fstab so that the system does not try to mount it automatically. it only mounts the drive when asked to, | 12:05 |

| usr13 | Well, anything but a broken heart. | 12:14 |
| tom17bombadil | jrib ups...i686 | 12:14 |
| TelnetManta | usr13: You more than likely just need to adjust your zorg.conf file to load the nvidia driver again. | 12:14 |
| tom17bombadil | i see | 12:14 |
| usr13 | TelnetManta: That's what I wanted to hear. | 12:15 |
| smokeyd | Damn, I would like to have CONFIG_IO_ACCOUNTING compiled into the kernel. Any reason why it is not compiled in standard (using 2.6.22 kernel in Gutsy) | 12:15 |
| danand | usr13 - if your anything like me ... first i have it working... tinker a bit ... tinker a bit more ... break it .... then spend days putting it back to how you had it in the first place XO | 12:15 |
| TelnetManta | package manager wouldnt have "uninstalled" the nvidia driver but it could have disabled it in favor of the nvidia-glx driver. | 12:15 |
| TelnetManta | *glx | 12:15 |
| tom17bombadil | jrib, i was pretty shure i had installed a 64-version | 12:15 |
| usr13 | TelnetManta: And I like the way you spell it. :) | 12:15 |
| jrib | tom17bombadil: hmm, make sure you downloaded the "amd64" iso | 12:15 |
| TelnetManta | usr13: LOL *xorg.conf | 12:16 |
| TelnetManta | missed that | 12:16 |
| TelnetManta | usr13: Just make sure that your using the nvidia driver under the device section. | 12:16 |
| usr13 | TelnetManta: But if it changes it once, who's to say it won't change it again? | 12:16 |
| tom17bombadil | jrib, i did. well both. 32 for the notebook, i must have taken the wrong one.... | 12:16 |
| danand | usr13 - are you sure the nvidia module is being loaded - check lsmod. if you can't find it add the correct name of the nvidia driver you compiled to /etc/modules | 12:16 |
| guza | can some one tell me name for postfix controlpanel supported by ubuntu | 12:16 |
| TelnetManta | don't sweat it. It's not difficult to change. In fact I use the nvidia driver (via Envy) and havent had it overwritten, ever....... | 12:17 |
| TelnetManta | usr13: ^ | 12:17 |
| usr13 | TelnetManta: dennda; I set this box up for a friend so he could play tremulous and it puked on him the first time he rebooted, so... I dono. | 12:17 |
| rhineheart_m | guza: I know of a control panel for postfix..but I guess others will not agree with my suggestion.. I'm using webmin | 12:17 |
| guza | i use webmin too | 12:18 |
| guza | but i have postfix with mysql and virtual domains and virtual users | 12:18 |
| danand | usr13 - i think the nvidia install script removes the standard nvidia kernel modules to avoid the system using those.... if you haven't then told the system to use the new gfx modules (perhaps with a different name?) that would explain why your running in low gfx mode. check the output of dmesg to see if you get any errors about missing nvidia modules | 12:19 |

| bazhang | egoleo: it seems that grub is pointing at the wrong one | 12:55 |
| ArthurArchnix | egoleo: Yeah, no I can read your problem. What I'm saying is your description doesn't help me understand what's wrong. Yeah, no saying it more slowly doesn't help either. :) Does grub give you any errors? Do you see grub menu? Can you get into it? Can you get into your bios? | 12:55 |
| zer0bit | hey guys =) .. ubuntu just finished downloading and DVD i burnt is almost ready .. now i have to go to bios and put "boot from CD" as first option right ? [ already having butterflies in my stomach here !! my first go at linux =) ] | 12:56 |
| egoleo | ok | 12:56 |
| ajricoveri | guys, my proxy is throwing me 407,s when i do apt-get install, need to set proxy config but i cant find apt.conf like on debian ... | 12:56 |
| egoleo | what happens is that when it boots, the splash takes a long time and finally lands in busybox | 12:57 |
| bazhang | egoleo: when grub appears you need to change which one it boots from; you can later install startupmanager which is a gui grub editor | 12:57 |
| Buiss | ubuntu | 12:57 |
| ArthurArchnix | ajricoveri: sudo updatedb && locate apt.conf | 12:57 |
| egoleo | ok | 12:57 |
| bazhang | zer0bit: aye | 12:57 |
| egoleo | trying that | 12:58 |
| legend2440 | when i type users in terminal it lists my user name twice and when i type top in terminal it says 2 users. is that normal | 12:58 |
| ArthurArchnix | legend2440: Yup. | 12:58 |
| legend2440 | ok ty | 12:58 |
| zer0bit | bazhang .. and it wont automatically start formatting / partitioning my HD .. can u PROMISE me that ? | 12:58 |
| ajricoveri | i did locate apt.conf but i found /etc/apt/apt.conf.d with a bunch of files ... | 12:58 |
| ajricoveri | it is unusual ... =p | 12:58 |
| bazhang | zer0bit: which cd? the live or the alternate | 12:59 |
| bastid_raZor | legend2440; i'm listed 8 times.. i have 7 terminals open and the gnome loaded | 12:59 |
| legend2440 | ok ty | 12:59 |
| egoleo | is still given same problem | 13:00 |
| bazhang | zer0bit: you should always BACKUP before doing anything like this; and there are no Promises--how can I control what you do on your end? | 13:00 |
| egoleo | i have only one kernel | 13:00 |
| egoleo | so how do i change | 13:00 |
| egoleo | or is with the livecd | 13:00 |
| zer0bit | bazhang .. windows splash screen says "boot from this CD to try ubuntu without affecting your system" .. should i belive that? | 13:00 |
| egoleo | plse help | 13:00 |
| bazhang | egoleo: this is gutsy or feisty | 13:00 |
| ArthurArchnix | ajricoveri: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400210&highlight=ubuntu+apt+proxy they say just create apt.conf where you think it ought to be. | 13:00 |
| egoleo | gutsy | 13:00 |

| apo | ... surely, the folder's still there? | 13:10 |
| swoopdk | the folder is | 13:10 |

| swoopdk | but it doesnt show its content on my desktop anymore | 13:10 |
| dundel | how do you chmod a folder + whats inside the folder | 13:10 |
| ArthurArchnix | swoopdk: There's is something mysteriously powerful about the Desktop folder on gnome and in Ubuntu.

| swoopdk | well after restarting my nautilus a have a small "desktop" that links to the actualy desktop | 13:16 |
| bazhang | egoleo: you need to remove quiet from the grub listing for verbose mode, then follow the rest of my instructions | 13:16 |
| swoopdk | so i guess that worked out | 13:16 |
| KnighWse | d nickthorley Try truecrypt | 13:16 |

| adyre_ | PROBLEM: Need an older kernel to install VMware... My current kernel is '2.6.22-14-generic' and I don't know how to install an older one (preffer 2.6.18.*) ... ANYBODY? | 13:24 |
| etfb | adyre_: You don't need an old kernel. I'm running VMWare Server with no hassles on the latest kernel | 13:25 |
| egoleo | bazhang: i have done that now | 13:25 |
| egoleo | i have done that | 13:25 |
| adyre_ | on Ubuntu? | 13:25 |
| applica | me too, and it works very well, with Ubuntu 7.10 | 13:25 |
| cicciola | hi | 13:25 |
| etfb | adyre_: It'd be a bit silly hanging around #ubuntu channel if I were a Red Hat user, after all... | 13:26 |
| cliebow | adyre_, im running vmware on hardy..2.6.24-- | 13:26 |
| cliebow | but it was not pretty.. | 13:26 |
| cicciola | I've installed gutsy and I can hear sound from flash plugin of firefox but I can't hear sound from applications.. | 13:26 |
| bazhang | egoleo: great; now follow the rest of my instructions please | 13:26 |
| applica | hi , i can use all applications with VM Ware, which doenst work on Windows-Vista, and i am glad abouth this | 13:26 |
| egoleo | bazhang: after doing that it hangs again at where it says waiting for root file system | 13:26 |
| egoleo | bazhang: ok | 13:26 |
| egoleo | bazhang: i am waiting | 13:26 |
| adyre_ | thanks guys... I will retry to install... it gives me an error installing VMware and I found on a forum that the solution is to use older kernel... | 13:27 |
| etfb | adyre_: Which VMWare (product and version #) are you using? Did you know VMWare Server is now free (as in beer)? | 13:27 |
| etfb | adyre_: Check the date of that advice. It WAS the case -- in early Feisty builds with pre 1.0 versions of Reader. | 13:27 |
| bastid_raZor | etfb; where is your beer free? | 13:27 |
| adyre_ | I have downloaded VMware-server-1.0.3.44356 | 13:28 |
| etfb | bastid_raZor: Funny boy. | 13:28 |
| Anubis_be | hey all, question, if I enter cat >> testscript I can enter what needs to be in the testscript, but what should I place at the end so I get bacl my bash prompt? | 13:28 |
| etfb | Anubis_be: Ctrl+D | 13:28 |
| etfb | Anubis_be: (which means End Of File) | 13:28 |
| Werdna | Anubis_be: ctrl-D, EOF | 13:28 |
| Werdna | etfb: dammit | 13:28 |
| adyre_ | yes, that's another question: where can I find free beer :D ... '2.6.22-14-generic' linux kernel | 13:28 |
| swoopdk | guys is there a way to hide symlinks from regular "ls" ?? | 13:28 |

| bastid_raZor | Nik0la0s; if you tell the torrent app where the rest of the file is located | 13:30 |
| adyre_ | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 13:30 |
| adyre_ | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 13:30 |
| adyre_ | another problem | 13:30 |
| Nik0la0s | yes | 13:30 |
| adyre_ | no other apps open | 13:30 |
| cliebow | adyre_, ps aux|grep apt | 13:30 |
| Nik0la0s | and can it be also contineus nad saved in the ntfs folder where the rest of it is? | 13:30 |
| Nik0la0s | meaning where windows first saved it | 13:30 |
| bastid_raZor | Nik0la0s; it would have to save it there.. you are going to be telling it to find the first half of the file there | 13:31 |
| adyre_ | cliebow: and what do I do netx (I have to specify that I use linux for a short time, now... I am still learning | 13:31 |
| Nik0la0s | i just tried it | 13:31 |
| praveen_ | in ubuntu where will my application be installed if i use apt-get ?? | 13:31 |
| Nik0la0s | an its cehekign it an dverifying it | 13:31 |
| Nik0la0s | but will it bae bale to properly save it under the ntfs filer structure? | 13:32 |
| tinman | praveen_: probably /usr/bin ? | 13:32 |
| cliebow | adyre_, that should show an apt process running...kill -9 processnumber | 13:32 |
| bastid_raZor | Nik0la0s; it should no issues with ntfs | 13:32 |
| Nik0la0s | i see, so when i boot back in windows i will be able to see the file finsihed? | 13:33 |
| praveen_ | tinman, any other location .... i want to know where my java is installed | 13:33 |
| adyre_ | thanks cliebow , it works :D .. Evrika :D | 13:33 |

| wlomax | ? | 13:36 |
| adyre_ | cliebow: thanks.. now it had worked | 13:36 |
| egoleo | bazhang: when i press escape it takes me to the menu | 13:36 |
| egoleo | and there nothing like verbose | 13:36 |
| luckyshot | jrib, i missed what he said? | 13:37 |
| jrib | luckyshot: system -> administration -> date and time | 13:37 |
| tatyawinchu | bastid_raZor ok and what if i delete those too ? like windows key + E is the hotkey in windows, what is the hotkey in linux to open file browser ? | 13:37 |
| bazhang | egoleo: you need to edit the listing and remove quiet from it | 13:37 |
| praveen_ | tinman, heh got it thanks | 13:37 |
| egoleo | bazhang: i have done that | 13:37 |
| tinman | praveen_: no problem | 13:37 |
| egoleo | and now it loads with some info | 13:37 |
| yusuo | hi guys i keep on getting an error any ideas on how i can resolve it | 13:37 |
| yusuo | dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 22254 package `gimp-print': | 13:37 |
| swoopdk | okay i have hidden the symlinks from nautilus using a .hidden file.. | 13:37 |
| bazhang | what info does it give you egoleo | 13:38 |
| luckyshot | jrib, yes works! thank you | 13:38 |
| luckyshot | :) | 13:38 |
| swoopdk | is there a way to hide from terminal also unless i do ls-a ? | 13:38 |
| egoleo | bazhang: like loading essential driver | 13:38 |
| egoleo | s | 13:38 |
| cliebow | wlomax:is that jeff elkner? | 13:38 |
| jrib | swoopdk: only if you begin the filename with a . | 13:38 |
| yusuo | any ideas anyone | 13:38 |
| bastid_raZor | tatyawinchu; i doubt you deleted the listing under Places. you would have to set a a shortcut key for that to work. | 13:38 |
| swoopdk | oh okay | 13:38 |
| egoleo | bazhang: and last statement is waiting for root file system | 13:38 |
| swoopdk | then i will have to live with ls listing everything twice because of the symlinks :p | 13:38 |

| tatyawinchu | At least 2 GB of disk space (for full installation and swap space) ... 4 and 10 are a bit too much ^^ | 13:47 |
| LjL | jrib: or they can just turn around and talk, i guess, since they seem to be in the same place | 13:47 |
| kesshi_ | scp through internet 10.33 is OK but is slow because of the route, but 192.168 gives Permission denied (publickey,password). instead of password request | 13:48 |
| Meow | urgh | 13:48 |
| LukeL | tatyawinchu The minimum requirements are only likely to allow a server (non-graphical) installation to run well. | 13:48 |

| bazhang | egoleo: you need to get to a console prompt; did you read that link I gave you? | 13:52 |
| LjL | mohamed_: there is a "fancontrol" script in the "lm-sensors" package. it's not necessarily safe to use. | 13:52 |
| bastid_raZor | kesshi_; did you try to set up public keys between them before? possibly deleting the key and connecting as if for the first time would rid this | 13:52 |
| ArthurArchnix | nickthorley: Don't think so. But as ubuntu can read ntfs .... or else use dm crypt. | 13:52 |

| Wander_w | tux69: yeah, a firefox nightly (march 5th) | 13:59 |
| Wander_w | archman_: maybe | 13:59 |
| tux69 | bastic_raZor: usually i don't have flash issues. strange. | 13:59 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Ljl: i think its a fruitless endeavour | 14:00 |

| astheo | how would i do it. install ubuntu studio on top of ubuntu? is ubuntu a totally different distro? | 14:00 |
| astheo | ubuntu studio | 14:00 |
| archman_ | Wander_w: what do you mean by 'deploy'? (i'm from croatia, don't understand everything...) | 14:00 |
| erstazi | archman_: ubuntu studio is much a bunch of packages, not a different distro | 14:00 |
| bazhang | astheo: well it is totally FOSS so wireless etc support is not as good; best to just add their repos and install stuff on top of regular ubuntu | 14:01 |
| Wander_w | astheo: apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop | 14:01 |
| Strawberryjam | astheo: i suggest you only install studio...it has all of ubuntu and some more | 14:01 |
| Wander_w | archman: "deploy": install it for use | 14:01 |

| Strawberryjam | rebazhang: really? | 14:01 |
| erstazi | archman_: oops, I meant astheo | 14:02 |
| erstazi | archman_: and also, aircrack | 14:02 |
| archman_ | Wander_w: ok; so i just follow some tutorials about patching and cross my fingers? | 14:02 |
| Strawberryjam | bazhang: really? | 14:02 |
| Wander_w | archman: yeah | 14:02 |
| Strawberryjam | so far Studio has been great for me | 14:02 |
| bazhang | Strawberryjam: right; the advantage to adding the repos ( as astheo wants to do) is that you can get all the video drivers etc that are restricted but also enjoy the apps that come with ubuntustudio | 14:03 |
| Strawberryjam | astheo: first...what is it that you want to do? | 14:03 |
| Strawberryjam | bazhang: i have a music studio, the realtime kernel gives me lower latency, that is why i use it | 14:03 |
| astheo | actually all i want is the eyecandy of ubuntu studio. I have been having trouble with my graphics card and installing themes i like. :) | 14:04 |
| andreas_ | test | 14:04 |
| nickthorley | has anyone here used crypt manager | 14:04 |
| Strawberryjam | then dont bother installing studio | 14:04 |
| astheo | i thought installing studio would give me instant eyecandy | 14:04 |
| bastid_raZor | astheo; compiz-fusion will do that.. and you have that if you're using 7.10 | 14:05 |
| bazhang | Strawberryjam: which is great if you have a desktop, but if is not, or you need gaming (3D drivers) then installing from the repos is likely a good choice as well--it really depends, but nice to have both options ;] | 14:05 |
| Daveeey | what channel do i have to go for ubuntu alpha? | 14:05 |

| Strawberryjam | astheo: no real eyecandy you cant get in Ubuntu... | 14:05 |
| bazhang | Daveeey: #ubuntu+1 | 14:05 |
| Daveeey | ok thx | 14:05 |
| donald_ | j #ubuntu+1 | 14:05 |
| astheo | oh i see, i guess it's not really the solution.. | 14:06 |
| Strawberryjam | astheo: and as bazhang just pointed out in the las response | 14:06 |
| GerhardSchr | hi Daniel88 | 14:06 |
| GerhardSchr | ^^ | 14:06 |
| astheo | i can't run compiz-fusion even in my kubuntu. i guess it's because im using ati card. thankx anyway :) | 14:06 |
| Strawberryjam | astheo: not for you no....you dont need that and you have better graphics support in ubuntu | 14:07 |
| camba | I'm trying to find a midiox/midiyoke-like software for ubuntu. Any recommendation? | 14:07 |

| Strawberryjam | sometimes i just sit here and read...:) | 14:08 |
| jrib | Cyntrox: pipe to tee instead. The redirection occurs as your user | 14:08 |

| bazhang | bill_: why not just get it from the ubuntu-restricted-extras? | 14:12 |
| jrib | Cyntrox: you forgot the "tee -a". Anyway, you don't want to do what you are doing. You're likiely to end up with a broken system | 14:12 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | Cyntrox, sudo apt-cache search gstreamer | 14:15 |

| Cyntrox | jrib: No, I don't think so | 14:15 |
| bill_ | I'm still new at linux | 14:15 |
| archman | is there any channel for cracking weps? | 14:15 |

| Strawberryjam | bazhang: thanks...i'll try as soon as my updates are done...cant believe i am running Studio off a USB drive on my wifes notebook...now i can take linux evrywhere | 14:16 |
| bazhang | bill_: well then download the file to whereever you want, unzip it (or whatever the format) and then run the file--it is fairly straightforward--have you already downloaded it? | 14:16 |
| danand | Cyntrox - apt-cache pkgnames | grep gstreamer | 14:16 |
| bazhang | Strawberryjam: wow! talk about leet ;] | 14:16 |

| sysadmin-lb22 | does ubuntu support more than 4gb of RAM ..with a 32bit kernel | 14:17 |
| astheo | danand, i did not. how would i do that? | 14:18 |
| jrib | astheo: then you didn't install it "over" kubuntu. You just installed ubuntu-desktop (and gnome) in addition to kubuntu. Yes, it's normal | 14:18 |
| Wander_w | archman_: Well, wanting to "crack weps" but not taking the trouble to find it out for yourself is typical scriptkiddie behavior | 14:18 |
| astheo | jrib: thnks to to all who responded | 14:18 |
| bazhang | sysadmin-lb22: no you need the 64bit for that | 14:18 |

| sysadmin-lb22 | bazhang, no possible workarounds..? Is it a physical limitaiton ? | 14:18 |
| astheo | Strawberryjam: yes i can see that :) | 14:19 |
| jrib | Cyntrox: no inconvenience. You found gstreamer then? | 14:19 |
| bazhang | sysadmin-lb22: well you just wont be able to use all the ram; you can run the 32 bit fine though | 14:19 |

| bazhang | Kenshiro: do you have a support question? | 14:20 |
| bazhang | astheo: no that is just a meta package | 14:20 |
| Strawberryjam | sysadmin-lb22: 32 systems just cant adress and allocate the adresses like 64's can | 14:20 |
| jrib | Cyntrox: you always look for it in the repositories. apt-get is one way on the command line. Or you can use Add/Remove or Synaptic Package Manager. rhythmbox should be installed by default though | 14:20 |
| astheo | bazhang: ok so what will i do then? | 14:20 |
| danand | astheo - no. that will simply remove the meta-package kubuntu-desktop ... not all the packages associate with it | 14:20 |

| tinman | Strawberryjam: Huh? :] anyways, i think i am getting offtopic ^^ | 14:35 |
| Strawberryjam | lol | 14:36 |
| WinXpNewb | Hi, just a quick question: Anyone here have any experience with giving/spreading cds? Any advise? | 14:36 |
| bartmon | Steelx01: You can format partitions via Gparted, the tool I told you about. | 14:36 |
| Strawberryjam | WinXpNewb: are they legal? | 14:36 |
| Wander_w | WinXpNewb: Burn CD, give away to someone who wants it, goto step 1 | 14:36 |
| bazhang | fransfr: did you try with evolution? | 14:36 |
| bartmon | Steelx01: Just right click on the partition you want to format. | 14:37 |
| danand | Wander_w - :) | 14:37 |
| Steelx01 | yeah, tried that, no worky | 14:37 |
| fransfr | does evolution find my pda ? | 14:37 |
| bartmon | Steelx01: The partition has to be unmounted. | 14:37 |
| bazhang | fransfr: I can tell that how? ;] | 14:37 |
| Steelx01 | cant open with mkfs.xfs, access denied | 14:37 |
| danand | Steelx01 - you are better doing that from live cd due to reason bartmon mentions | 14:38 |
| fransfr | oke | 14:38 |
| WinXpNewb | Strawberryjam: Yep. Mostly related to Ron Paul DvD available on Ron Paul Audio but technically I'm also considering it for Linux distro on a later date. Didn't find people who knew in the Ron Paul channel so thought I'd stretch the question here where more people might know | 14:38 |
| kling0n | hmm something seems to have gone wrong with my mplayer mpegpes audio demuxer | 14:38 |
| Wander_w | Steelx01: Are you root (i.e. doing something like "sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sda?" | 14:38 |
| kling0n | i get no sound from a lot of videos | 14:38 |
| Steelx01 | yes | 14:38 |
| bazhang | WinXpNewb: straying into offtopic.. | 14:38 |
| danand | bazhang - straying?? | 14:38 |
| WinXpNewb | Wander_w: Ok, step 2. How to find someone who wants a Linux distro cd | 14:39 |
| bazhang | heh | 14:39 |
| Strawberryjam | WinXpNewb: I guess find a distributor with a good heart is a start | 14:39 |
| danand | WinXpNewb - :) - back on topic | 14:39 |
| Wander_w | WinXpNewb: Show them Ubuntu | 14:39 |
| faileas | WinXpNewb: for livecds.. i just use it, and if they ask about it, hand em a CD ;p | 14:39 |
| * faileas wishes ubuntu still let you bulk order disks in fact | 14:39 | |
| fransfr | i can tell that how? bazhang? | 14:39 |
| Strawberryjam | me too...got banned once... | 14:40 |
| LollinopiL | do you think that it's better to mount the additional partitions in /mnt or in /media ? Or it's not a problem, it's the same ? | 14:40 |
| bazhang | fransfr: did you try with evolution? | 14:40 |
| fransfr | how | 14:40 |
| WinXpNewb | What happens when you're not around a computer? The give them to random people not going to work well as much? | 14:40 |
| fransfr | what must i do? | 14:40 |
| LollinopiL | hello baaaz! | 14:40 |
| Steelx01 | I guess ill just get DBAN to nuke my hellish hd | 14:41 |
| === LollinopiL is now known as LoLLo | ||
| Strawberryjam | thanks LoLLo | 14:41 |
| LoLLo | Straw for what ? | 14:41 |
| bazhang | fransfr: sudo apt-get install evolution would be a good start ;] | 14:41 |
| Wander_w | WinXpNewb: I never give CD's to ppl who don't want them | 14:41 |
| fransfr | i have already installed evolution | 14:42 |
| Strawberryjam | LoLLo: i am trying to shorten my nick...its just easier for other users lol :) | 14:42 |
| WinXpNewb | Wander_w: Oh ok. I was thinking more of a grassroots way of spreading cds when I asked the question. Sorry if I didn't clarify | 14:42 |
| Wander_w | WinXpNewb: So if I'm not around a computer, and someone asks for a CD, I'll say: "I'll give them to you tomorrow" | 14:42 |
| LjL | !tab | Strawberryjam | 14:42 |
| bazhang | WinXpNewb: how about heading to #ubuntu-offtopic please ;] | 14:42 |
| ubotu | Strawberryjam: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 14:42 |
| Strawberryjam | thank you | 14:42 |
| Wander_w | WinXpNewb: meh, that doesn't work | 14:42 |
| lyz | hello | 14:42 |
| WinXpNewb | Wander_w: Yeah, I was afraid of that | 14:43 |
| Strawberryjam | hahahaha...i have been typing them all this time LOL | 14:43 |
| WinXpNewb | Oh well, I'm off. I just wanted to see if the Linux guys have more experience with spreading cds on a grassroots level than other movements | 14:43 |
| Wander_w | WinXpNewb: Don't force any CD's upon ppl, you'll look like a whacko | 14:43 |
| bazhang | fransfr: sorry that I dont have a iPaq to test; but from reading the ubuntuforums it seems that many have success syncing those devices using evolution--sorry not help more | 14:43 |
| WinXpNewb | Thanks for the help | 14:43 |
| Strawberryjam | they prob do but its the wrong room sorry | 14:44 |
| LoLLo | well, is there anyone who could answer me? i don't know if it's better to mount the additional partitions in /mnt or in /media , or technically it's the same ... | 14:44 |
| fransfr | oke i will thry thanks | 14:44 |
| Pici | LoLLo: Technically it doesnt matter. | 14:44 |
| LjL | LoLLo, /media if it's non-removable drives is the standard | 14:44 |
| === whitekidney is now known as spzatt | ||
| LjL | LoLLo: /mnt is mostly for network drives | 14:45 |
| === spzatt is now known as whitekidney | ||
| Wander_w | LoLLo: It's the same, just do what is most convenient for you | 14:45 |
| LoLLo | ok, so i've chosen the right one yeah, thx | 14:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | LoLLo, I think mounts in media show up on the desktop as volumes.. | 14:45 |
| WinXpNewb | Wander_w: Yeah, I worry about that but it works for posters and flyers and in the back of my mind, I just thought, really if I was offered a cd I'd pay attention to it more than flyers or posters since I can't just throw it away but yeah, I'm scratching that plan. | 14:45 |
| whitekidney | I need some help, when im installing ubuntu, it freezes at 46% (Scanning discs) | 14:45 |
| LoLLo | thx a lot ! see u ! | 14:45 |
| Strawberryjam | 53 minutes remaining for my updates :( | 14:46 |
| tinman | whitekidney: are you sure it freezes? may be it's taking a bit long time? | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | whitekidney, Did you have the cd do a self test for errors | 14:46 |
| whitekidney | Jack_Sparrow, no, i dont believe so, how do i do that? | 14:46 |
| BuSefer | hello, does Ubuntu have NTFS support integrated? | 14:46 |
| Wander_w | BuSefer: yes | 14:46 |
| Strawberryjam | whitekidney: try checking your discs for errors before you install...might save you alot of heartaches | 14:46 |
| tinman | whitekidney: during startup, you get an option to do so | 14:46 |
| lyz | ÎÒÊÇÖйúÈË | 14:46 |
| whitekidney | During booting from the CD? | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, Suggestion.. once you finish, burn them to a cd or dvd .. /var/cache/apt/achives | 14:47 |
| whitekidney | Alrighties, will do. | 14:47 |
| tinman | lyz: sorry? | 14:47 |
| BuSefer | can I run chkdsk on an ntfs disk? how? | 14:47 |
| whitekidney | And Strawberryjam : Do a disc scan & defragment? | 14:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | whitekidney, At the first menu there is a self test. if you dont get that far you probably have a bad burn or a bad download | 14:47 |
| Wander_w | BuSefer: well... chkdsk is a windows program, the linux equivalent is fsck | 14:47 |
| whitekidney | busefer : start > cmd > type in chkdsk C: | 14:47 |
| Strawberryjam | was that for me? | 14:47 |
| whitekidney | yeah | 14:48 |

| Aranel | hey, can someone suggest me a good file rescue application ? | 14:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 14:48 |
| 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 | 14:48 |
| BuSefer | how do I use fsck? | 14:48 |
| yeonhoo | Gutsy Intel HD Audio Controller driver install problem | 14:48 |
| polter | BuSefer, read the man page, it's pretty easy | 14:49 |
| whitekidney | installing things on ubuntu is like a pain in the ass | 14:49 |
| Parsec300 | Aranel: download Hiren's bootCD. It has a lot of Partitioning and HD/file recovery tools. | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yeonhoo, HAve you gone through the sound troubleshooting section from the bot? | 14:49 |
| BuSefer | do I type fsck /? for man page? | 14:49 |
| Aranel | Parsec300: thanks :) | 14:49 |

| whitekidney | Does wine come working with 7.10 ? | 14:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | whitekidney, Please watch the language, what is harder than clicking on a program and having it install automatically | 14:49 |

| BuSefer | does fsck support NTFS? | 14:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | whitekidney, sudo apt-get install wine | 14:50 |
| whitekidney | jack_sparriw : You dont wanna know, i had ubuntu before, you helped me before also, but its that.. you have to use the terminal sooo much. | 14:50 |
| Parsec300 | BuSefer: fsck or sda2 or sda3 or hda1 hda2 depending on the drive and partition | 14:50 |
| Parsec300 | man fsck | 14:50 |
| polter | BuSefer, I believe so, but you might have to install an addon pacakge for that | 14:50 |
| whitekidney | also do you have to give permissions and things. | 14:50 |
| Wander_w | BuSefer: Probably not | 14:50 |
| polter | whitekidney, which is good for security | 14:50 |
| whitekidney | well im off, ill try to install ubuntu for now. | 14:50 |

| whitekidney | polter : i know. | 14:51 |
| whitekidney | No i dont | 14:51 |
| Parsec300 | If your home directory is on a different partition/drive you can also type fsck /home I think | 14:51 |
| Strawberryjam | ok | 14:51 |
| whitekidney | Vista is worse than ubuntu | 14:51 |

| Jack_Sparrow | WinXpNewb, It works both ways,, As a user learns not to mess things up he stays out, as he learns more he tinkers more.. | 14:53 |
| BuSefer | how do I open disk? | 14:54 |
| db92 | remind me how i can restart x? | 14:54 |
| WinXpNewb | Jack_Sparrow: I guess that works too though I've never seen a newb feel the need to use the cli in Ubuntu type distro except for troubleshooting. | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Jenson-, I tried but things like Visual Bsic and Visual C dint work well for me | 14:54 |

| BuSefer | how do I open first partition of first drive?? | 14:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, what do you mean by lose your install. | 14:55 |
| WinXpNewb | BuSefer: You should see something like sda1, sda2 or something similar | 14:55 |

| insanitatum | would anyone know off-hand what the tightvnc parameter is for connecting to a non-standard ssh port? | 15:01 |
| Wander_w | ader11: It shouldn't, but it can be CPU-limited (so filling the CPU before the connection is filled) | 15:01 |

| insanitatum | pici - different port, so via won't work right, defaults to 22 | 15:06 |

| bazhang | jamil_11020429: and this is using gutsy ubuntu? | 15:10 |
| WinXpNewb | XHERMES: a remastered dvd is basically a distro where someone modifies it to tailor to your exact needs so when you install the distro, there's sort of a process that I'm not that familiar with to do that makes it so you have the sources/programs inside the distro without going to a package manager to install it | 15:10 |
| jamil_11020429 | no feisty fawn | 15:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | gan removing those is sometimes all that is needed... we have other boot options based on errors you may or may not see | 15:10 |
| db92 | now my image is split in half and i see the interface double | 15:11 |
| XHERMES | thank u WinXpNewb mr.bazhang gave me a dvd iso link to ubuntu 7.10 i didn't know about it because i downloaded th 700 mb cd iso from ubuntu home page | 15:11 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, what is that option tell me | 15:11 |
| WinXpNewb | XHERMES: Oh ok. | 15:11 |
| bazhang | jamil_11020429: that is really likely a ram question, what specs for the cpu and what video card? you might be better off with something like fluxbuntu | 15:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan depends on your error but often noapic and or acpi=off are added before the -- | 15:12 |
| jamil_11020429 | but i can play the same videos in windows smoothly | 15:12 |
| bazhang | db92 what graphics card and what driver please; also how did you install them | 15:12 |
| insanitatum | what version of windows? | 15:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | jamil_11020429, Are you using an ati card and getting jerky video? | 15:13 |
| danand | XHERMES - you can make your own distro in Ubuntu with the uck package - there is a deb package available. homepage of uck project is at http://uck.sourceforge.net | 15:13 |
| insanitatum | any thoughts on how to connect to a vnc server w/ vncviewer/xtightvncviewer that's listening to ssh on a non-standard port? | 15:14 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, please see this link http://pastebin.com/m63998f77 | 15:14 |
| bazhang | gan what is the host system | 15:14 |
| sysadmin-lb22 | how can I access windows using SUNRAY | 15:15 |
| geek | insanitatum: you can provide port as a arguement for most VNC clients | 15:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan What version of Ubuntu is that...? or is it just Debian Live | 15:15 |
| bazhang | sysadmin-lb22: to share folders etc? | 15:15 |
| XHERMES | thanks to all of u your suggestions have been of use really, bye | 15:15 |
| WinXpNewb | danand: Thanks. Do you have an idea how uck compares to puppy's way of remastering? That's really the distro I've seen with the most versions and so I assumed it was the one easiest to remaster | 15:15 |
| insanitatum | geek - tried that... this is from ubuntu 7.10 | 15:15 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, it is debian lenny | 15:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan Then you have the wrong channel for help | 15:16 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, but i created the live foor sid | 15:16 |
| allquixotic | How can I enable the screen rotation button on my ThinkPad X61t in Gutsy? | 15:16 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, please tell me what to edit | 15:17 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: do you have tpb installed? | 15:17 |
| bazhang | #debian is very helpful gan ;] | 15:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan You are in the wrong place for help with that.. please see #Debian | 15:17 |
| gan | bazhang, i too have feisty | 15:17 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: No; but trying to install it says it conflicts with hotkey-setup, which is a dependency for ubuntu-desktop. | 15:18 |
| insanitatum | geek - 'sides, doing this from the command line... unless you know of a ubuntu-happy client besides terminal services that will actually have a 'port' for me to set ;) | 15:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan But that is not what you are needed help with | 15:18 |
| WinXpNewb | Oh yes, one thing I'm curious about is whether modern distros like Ubuntu has progressed to allow mouse/keyboards that might require drivers to work on it. I've only sampled a mouse that has it once but I haven't tried Linux then. | 15:18 |
| danand | WinXpNewb - not sure - never used puppy and only read about Uck :) Doesn't seem too bad though - looks fairly simple far as i could tell from the article | 15:18 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, i want to know the differnece between the two Os in creating the livecd | 15:18 |
| tzd | !access rights | 15:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about access rights - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:18 |
| geek | insanitatum: what OS is the vnc client and server on? | 15:18 |
| runewolf | Woo FINALLY got the drivers loaded and have 3d! | 15:18 |
| geek | just to be clear | 15:18 |
| insanitatum | geek - ubuntu 7.10 | 15:18 |
| bazhang | runewolf: nice job; next time just say no to envy ;] | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WinXpNewb, I bought a new MS natural 4000 usb that would not work without a driver under WIndows, works like a charm under ubuntu | 15:19 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, i just asking you how to create live cd | 15:19 |
| slibuntu | nice | 15:19 |
| insanitatum | geek - on both counts... if it helps, I want to go from here (laptop) to there (server)... usually, this would be xtightvncviewer -via user@ip pcname:0 | 15:19 |
| geek | insanitatum: i'm afraid i've never used a VNC client on linux.. so i can't help much | 15:19 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: that would not be a problem, ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage, if he want's do deinstall it that's not removing your desktop :-) Anyhow which dist are you on? | 15:19 |
| runewolf | bazhang: yeah but its runs as slow as hell, must be getting about 4fps :( | 15:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan I as I said, this is the wrong channel for that type of help | 15:19 |
| insanitatum | aw nuts | 15:19 |
| bazhang | gan: get the iso, burn it to cd, boot from cd done | 15:19 |
| WinXpNewb | Jack_Sparrow: Did it just work out of the box or did you have to tweak anything in Ubuntu? | 15:19 |
| kris_ | Hi guys, was wondering if I could get some help with something - I have just lost the ability to launch the terminal in Gnome after updating my Xorg conf file (added a fourth monitor), after restarting X, and the machine, I can no longer launch the terminal. Any ideas? | 15:20 |
| a1fa | anyway to remove all packages and reinstall them without actually re-installing from CD? | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | WinXpNewb, Worked right out of the box | 15:20 |
| runewolf | bazhang: at least the drivers is enabled now, but flgrxinfo shows vendor as mesa and not ati | 15:20 |
| WinXpNewb | Jack_Sparrow: Thanks | 15:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | np | 15:20 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: oops, did I say gutsy? I meant hardy... :S (although I had this problem on a base install of Gutsy before I changed my repos to Hardy) | 15:20 |
| gan | bazhang, no it is not running , it is going upto mounting the filesystem | 15:20 |
| LoLLo | why does my dctionary in the panel doesn't work ? can it be connected to the running of Stardict ? | 15:20 |
| slibuntu | jack sparrow - i have a microsoft mouse too, same deal! | 15:20 |
| cjae | hi all | 15:20 |
| a1fa | yo yoyoyo | 15:20 |
| gan | bazhang, i am following the ubuntu doc of creating the live cd | 15:21 |
| danand | a1fa - yes - wait one | 15:21 |
| bazhang | gan not in qemu please--that is for the #debian channel--to run #ubuntu do as I told you thanks | 15:21 |
| a1fa | danand : thanks | 15:21 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: hm, I can't tell at this time if hotkey-setup is needed, did you check thinkwiki? | 15:21 |
| LoLLo | why does my dctionary in the panel doesn't work ? can it be connected to the running of Stardict ? ----> i can't write anything there ! | 15:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan That is fine... try #Ubuntu-offtopic | 15:21 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: people on thinkwiki don't seem to be having this problem | 15:21 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, really i am using the feisty 7.4 | 15:22 |
| WinXpNewb | What kind of live cd is gan making that's off topic for Ubuntu? | 15:22 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: hehe - what else :-) | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan That goes not matter.. the type of help you are asking for is not supported in here.. | 15:22 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: the latest version of tpb is painfully old, 2005... I seriously doubt that bitrotting software would be a magic bullet on a thinkpad put into production several years after its last release | 15:22 |
| bazhang | WinXpNewb: hes not--hes running qemu on debian | 15:22 |
| jessid | Hello. Some of you could recommend a good application that helps me design web sites to work in ubuntu, something like deamweaver in windows? thanks a lot | 15:22 |
| shantzu | hello | 15:22 |
| cjae | ok if I dl a wav from gnuttela2 or something it plays fine on my ubuntu machine under xmms but if I dl off the web like just a short quote from a movie it sounds terrible | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | does | 15:22 |
| shantzu | i have 5 buttons on my mouse, is there a way to make ubuntu recognize that ? | 15:22 |
| WinXpNewb | bazhang: oh ok | 15:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !buttons | 15:23 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: true | 15:23 |
| ubotu | Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto | 15:23 |
| shantzu | ok, thank you sir | 15:23 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: I can't surf at the moment - I am updating to hardy right now... | 15:23 |
| cjae | but if I switch to windows and use media player classic or ms media player the same one from the same website sound fine, wtf? | 15:23 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, what jack you are telling like this , you actually tried to help me , really i believed you | 15:23 |
| JayLevitt | Hi all. anyone have the patience to walk me through a fresh install of 7.10, straight from CD, just trying to set up simple (software) RAID-1 on two identical SATA drives, with LVM on top? | 15:23 |
| bazhang | gan let it go please | 15:23 |
| JayLevitt | You'd think that would be easy, but I keep getting errors in the installer | 15:23 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: but you can check if xev shows your key being pressed | 15:23 |
| insanitatum | jay - the install was very nice :) what kind of errors are you getting? | 15:24 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, please you know , you have seen the isolinux.cfg file | 15:24 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: keycode 203. xev detects it | 15:24 |
| === njpatel_away is now known as njpatel | ||
| allquixotic | HighNo: so the question is, in what configuration file can I bind "rotate my screen by 90 degrees" to keycode 203? | 15:24 |
| cjae | what is the codec that opens wav files from websites? in totem ? | 15:24 |
| JayLevitt | insanitatum: Well, part of the problem is that I haven't figured out the exact order to do things, so I keep getting chicken-and-egg errors about /dev/md0, or about no root partition | 15:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan Please read the topic... and follow what I have politely asked you to do several times | 15:24 |
| b4l74z4r | any news on x-fi in ubuntu? | 15:25 |
| JayLevitt | insanitatum: Right now I have rebooted the installer, and am sitting at the manual partition screen, showing two drives, SCSI1/SCSI2, each with 1 primary partition, set up as "B K raid" | 15:25 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: if you use metacity it could do. but question is - do you know the command to rotate the screen? | 15:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | b4l74z4r, Ask in #Ubuntu+1 I think it will be in there | 15:25 |
| b4l74z4r | ok | 15:25 |
| JayLevitt | insanitatum: those are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, by the way, just to be clear | 15:25 |
| danand | a1fa - run dpkg -l | grep ii | awk -F" " '{print $2}' | sort > dpkg-l.txt to get a list of all packages installed on your system | 15:25 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: I do not. :) | 15:25 |
| allquixotic | HighNo | http://rafb.net/p/NBNA1u29.nln.html is the xev reaction to pushing the button I want | 15:26 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, ok , its my humble request , then its your wish | 15:26 |
| wraund | sorry for the rejoins | 15:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | gan thank you | 15:26 |
| derek | hello | 15:26 |
| soundray | danand: how about 'dpkg --get-selections | cut -f 1'? ;) | 15:27 |
| JayLevitt | insanitatum: when I try "Configure software RAID", I always end up with *two* raid-1 devices instead of one | 15:27 |
| a1fa | danand : and then what | 15:27 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: When I go into the System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution app, it is able to change the rotation for me. but I am not sure what is behind the code for that, or if it's even something that can be done with the CLI | 15:27 |
| insanitatum | JayLevitt: now that's real odd... give me a sec, reading up on something... I remember I tried to do that myself during the install and I got glitches for days, so I just did it after the fact | 15:27 |
| gan | Jack_Sparrow, its truth i am here using feisty 7.04 , why i said debian , ubuntu also follows debian | 15:27 |
| Aleksander-pl | Is it safe to resize and move NTFS with GParted? I need to change some Windows partitions and I CAN NOT lost them. | 15:28 |
| JayLevitt | insanitatum: Yeah, all of the walkthroughs I've seen have pretty much said that! but I find that hard to believe | 15:28 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: ah, good to know - let me check... | 15:28 |
| Strawberryjam | sorry...also sorry Jack_Sparrow...had to go | 15:28 |
| JayLevitt | Also, having only the two drives, I'm not sure exactly how you're supposed to reformat your whole system "after the fact" :) | 15:28 |
| a1fa | i need to remove all packages and re-install them again | 15:28 |
| tinman | Aleksander-pl: you should back it up first | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, Yea.. sure blame the wife.. np | 15:28 |
| a1fa | i want to remov everything related to X, GNOME, KDE, etc and purge it | 15:28 |
| soundray | Aleksander-pl: data you haven't backed up is data you don't want | 15:28 |
| Aleksander-pl | tinman: it's 80 GB | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58611/ | 15:28 |
| tinman | Aleksander-pl: also, disk defragment and chkdsk them | 15:28 |
| Strawberryjam | hahaha...true...she's off to work now | 15:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, See the link and we can discuss it | 15:28 |
| tinman | Aleksander-pl: there's always risk in my opinion | 15:28 |
| Strawberryjam | k | 15:29 |
| soundray | a1fa: why? | 15:29 |
| insanitatum | JayLevitt: partitions are my friend ;) that, and USB stick installing helps a -ton-, but gimme a sec, I remember reading something that had the raid stuff in it | 15:29 |
| Aleksander-pl | tinman: so I nned to defragment disc under Windows, copy it, and then resize? | 15:29 |
| cjae | did anyone catch my questions? | 15:29 |
| db92 | i need help with graphics on ubuntu 7.10, anyone able to "lend a hand"? :P | 15:29 |
| atrus | Aleksander-pl: anything important should be backed up regardless of whether you're resizing or partitioning :) that said, i've resized windows xp ntfs several times without losing anything. | 15:29 |
| soundray | cjae: no answer for 10 minutes or more? Repeat or, better, rephrase | 15:29 |
| a1fa | soundray : issues | 15:30 |
| Aleksander-pl | atrus: I am resizing my data all the time, but I need to install Sims 2 on friend's PC :D | 15:30 |
| a1fa | i want to reinstall gnome desktop | 15:30 |
| Aleksander-pl | and it's a giant mess there | 15:30 |
| danand | a1fa - after that you can sudo -i to become root. then run for i in $(cat dpkg-l.txt); do apt-get -s --reinstall install $i; done . That will only simulate the process. Remove the -s after apt-get to run that for real. ... no warraties with how that will turn out. Back up all your important data first..... tempted to use aptitude instead of apt in there. | 15:30 |
| a1fa | and purge all files related to it | 15:30 |
| soundray | a1fa: you will be better off reinstalling from scratch -- quicker, cleaner | 15:30 |
| Cyntrox | Is there any way to make gedit show line numbers? | 15:31 |
| insanitatum | ahhh, ok, now it makes sense why I did it after the fact | 15:31 |
| danand | a1fa - ie for i in $(cat dpkg-l.txt); do aptitude reinstall $i; done instead of using apt. | 15:31 |
| mastriu1 | Q: How do I use the terminal to schedule downloads at specific times? | 15:31 |
| cjae | soundray, ok thanks will wait a few more minutes, but would like to boot back ubuntu from win to try to diagonse on my own, but I believe user name is diff in buntu | 15:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, Lines 72, 74, 76 and 88 do the real work is that what you have been doing to rebuild your alsa drivers | 15:31 |
| db92 | anyone able to help with graphics issues? | 15:31 |
| Strawberryjam | yep..studying it now | 15:32 |
| soundray | cjae: I'm confused... Just re-ask your question for my benefit. | 15:32 |
| danand | a1fa - like i said back every thing up first including files in /etc /boot | 15:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | db92, Sure can try.. what video card? | 15:32 |
| cjae | soundray, ok if I dl a wav from gnuttela2 or something it plays fine on my ubuntu machine under xmms but if I dl off the web like just a short quote from a movie it sounds terrible | 15:32 |
| ^Migs^ | is this real? https://launchpad.net/jubuntu | 15:32 |

| JohnMM | masterloki, use a crontab | 15:33 |
| a1fa | pl | 15:33 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: I believe xrandr is the tool of choise here | 15:33 |
| a1fa | i tried using tasksel to remove packages | 15:33 |
| a1fa | that did not work | 15:33 |
| Strawberryjam | ok...the driver i am looking for is 1.1.16 and i am using an emu1212m card, so do i just substitute you intel etc. with those? | 15:33 |
| a1fa | it just removed their task name | 15:33 |

| JayLevitt | Migs: Which, frankly, makes me suspicious that they're not Jewish.. maybe reform | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, You need to use 15 or you have all sorts of problems | 15:34 |
| danand | a1fa - I agree with soundray. Unless you have very specific reasons for keeping your existing install, i would just reinstall from scratch | 15:34 |
| Strawberryjam | ok | 15:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Hey guys I'm currently doing my brother in laws comp and have been trying to keep ubuntu as his primary OS and windows media center edition as a VM which can also be boot into normally... is this possible? | 15:34 |
| mohamed | i want to connect zen creative 8gb player in ubuntu 7.10 | 15:34 |
| soundray | cjae: can you save a wav to disk and open it with 'gnome-open file.wav'? How does it sound? | 15:34 |
| db92 | Jack_Sparrow: my main problem is that i try to configure resolution from ubuntu from an app in "system" tab, and it just makes my screen go weird | 15:34 |
| Strawberryjam | i will substitute the hda intel with emu101_k i think right | 15:34 |
| danand | a1fa - oops. was that crashed caused by that command? | 15:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Strawberryjam, FYI #Alsa room has lots of good helpful people | 15:34 |
| ^Migs^ | could you just load Windows Media Center through rdesktop + SeamlessRDP? | 15:35 |
| Strawberryjam | ok thnx | 15:35 |
| Tooommi | anki: yeah | 15:35 |

| Jack_Sparrow | db92, Is this a desktop or laptop | 15:35 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: it does not work for you? | 15:35 |
| cjae | soundray, when I listen to .wav files from sites, like from a movie clip, I sounds terrible in linux but in win sounds fine and is from same site | 15:35 |
| soundray | cjae: normally, wav doesn't need a codec -- the audio driver decodes it. | 15:35 |
| db92 | desktop fcors | 15:35 |
| a1fa | it sigfaulted on me | 15:35 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ^Migs^: the only thing I really want the VM for is for media center on the 360 | 15:35 |
| allquixotic | HighNo: haven't had a chance to test it, still following the instructions | 15:35 |
| db92 | from the last config the ubuntu partition is now unusable, the display has been screwed beyond recognition giving me something like scanlines and the image cut in half | 15:36 |

| quarsaw | has anyone had any experience installing Ubuntu on a Mac Pro? | 15:36 |

| Tooommi | google and every site which uses google analytics is down | 15:36 |
| a1fa | ok fresh install | 15:36 |
| db92 | no i didnt go there first, supposing that the app it had in system itself would suffice for a small resolution change, i just wanted to set it to higher | 15:36 |
| Strawberryjam | Jack_Sparrow: its kinda hard now as i am using my wife's machine and running studio off a usb hdd in Vmware. Effortless. its just the hardware is in the other machine. | 15:36 |
| a1fa | god damn it | 15:36 |
| a1fa | :( | 15:36 |
| danand | a1fa - if you insist on running that command rather that reinstalling you might be better off using apt-get instead then. Have you important data on that install | 15:36 |
| soundray | quarsaw: yes -- Ubuntu runs fine with 6 GB :) | 15:36 |
| cjae | soundray, ok will boot back linux and post back to you | 15:37 |
| db92 | i just need a way to reset graphics to default at least | 15:37 |
| quarsaw | soundray: any trouble installing? | 15:37 |
| db92 | its totally unusable as it is now | 15:37 |
| HighNo | allquixotic: try on the console: xrandr -q | 15:37 |
| Azodon | whay is rdesktop? | 15:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | db92, The way to get that back.. is to use recovery mode.. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg select vesa as your card type and 1024 max, that will give you basic gui functions to continue unless something else has happened. | 15:37 |
| soundray | quarsaw: edgy wouldn't boot, but feisty installed fine. I took some hints from the Gentoo wiki for configuring things. Wireless didn't work. | 15:37 |

| HighNo | frank_: installing via apt does not work on the live CD? | 16:15 |
| frank_ | tatyawinchu: that's assuming desktop effects work. Do your windows wiggle? | 16:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tatyawinchu, You also need to enable restricted drivers | 16:15 |
| frank_ | HighNo: it does work in liveCD | 16:15 |

| Jack_Sparrow | LuiCal, So it shows up in nautilus etc? but cannot be accessed? | 16:31 |

| LuiCal | exactly | 16:31 |
| LuiCal | yes | 16:31 |
| Jay_Levitt | cberl1: Are you in a position to launch the sshd server manually, and turn on debugging so it'll show you what it's unhappy about? | 16:31 |

| Jay_Levitt | (maybe on a separate port, if there are other people using the sshd server on 22) | 16:32 |

| beerdeaap | cberl1: cool :D | 16:33 |
| neverblue | rinaldi_, possibly the IP of the box changed, check your router | 16:33 |
| Jay_Levitt | cberl1: I could if my Ubuntu box were working :)... I believe it's going to be something like "sshd -p 1234 -d", where "-p 1234" is the port you want it listening on, and "-d" is debugging mode | 16:34 |
| Jay_Levitt | but I'd check "man sshd" to be sure those are the right options | 16:34 |
| LuiCal | ok | 16:34 |
| Strawberryjam | just installed flash, on studio, running on vmware off a usb drive, and its awesome | 16:34 |

| danand | tatyawinchu - mount point is the location the iso will be mounted to. this is usually a folder. create a folder called iso bye typing mkdir iso. then mount the iso by typing sudo mount -o loop file.iso iso. You will then be able to browse the iso image by looking in that iso folder you created. after your done type sudo umount iso to un mount the image | 17:16 |

| danand | tatyawinchu - yes. Be careful if there are spaces in the file name. you should "escape" those with a backslash. ie "file 2.iso" should be entered as file\ 2.iso | 17:21 |
| lubse | could you let me know if you see a quit message? | 17:21 |

| abhay | how to check my buidin web camera whether it is working or not | 17:23 |
| levander | Hisotaso: It is possible your network connection is flaky? A lot of times when you have to retry a lot, it's networking connections. | 17:23 |
| bluefox83 | ok, for some reason, without warning my edges and bars around everything just went *poof* whats the key combo to make the run dialog pop up? | 17:24 |
| tatyawinchu | danand: it says no such file | 17:24 |
| tatyawinchu | danand this is what i typed in terminal ----> sudo mount -o loop /media/SATA5/Downloads/DVD-\live\concerts/RAMMSTEIN\LIVE\CONCERTS.iso iso | 17:24 |
| shaun | Alt + F2 for Run dialog. | 17:24 |
| levander | bluefox83: You mean you want a command line? If so, Ctrl-Alt-F1 is one way. | 17:24 |
| Hisotaso | levander: how would i test that? | 17:24 |
| levander | Hisotaso: very carefully | 17:25 |

| Lartza_ | what is ERESTARTSYS? | 17:25 |
| levander | Hisotaso: I don't know, something like that I'd just have to play with and see if I can see a different error message or something to shed light on. Like, try alternate ways of doing the same thing. | 17:25 |
| tatyawinchu | danand: what did go wrong in that above command ? | 17:25 |
| cjae | ok if i have two internet connections (two different ips) and lin on one win on the other I need samba to connect and to setup winbox as dynamic dns right? | 17:25 |
| danand | tatyawinchu - you can press <tab> in the terminal to autocomplete file names.... but i think you missed the space after DVD :) /media/SATA5/Downloads/DVD-\ live\ concerts etc | 17:25 |
| Lasivian | any recommendations where I should go if I need an old unsupported driver upddated to the current kernel? | 17:26 |
| bluefox83 | levander, no i don't want command line, i need a run dialog to come up so i can launch emerald | 17:26 |

| Hisotaso | levander: i just figured it out...i think, i was copying to the drive on my windows box via a mount point that is automatic on startup in my media folder, by actually going through the network and browsing to the windws box it seems to work great. I guess the mount point is only good for viewing or copying small files. | 17:27 |
| zxy_64_ | i need to make icedtead work with firefox on amd64 (64 bit kubuntu installed - 7.10) -- package installed ok, but java still doesnt work | 17:27 |
| zxy_64_ | help appreciated | 17:27 |
| tatyawinchu | danand: is the tab thing working now ? | 17:27 |
| levander | JC_Denton_: I'd try a 'sudo dpkg -a' and see if that fixes anything. | 17:27 |
| danand | tatyawinchu - if you start to type the name and press <tab> the terminal will try to autocomplete the filename for you ie if i want to look at a file called "data 1.txt" i would type less da, press tab and that should auto complete to "less data\ 1.txt" but without the quotes | 17:28 |
| abhay | how to check my webcam | 17:28 |
| levander | Hisotaso: yeah, that sounds like flaky networking... if you can only copy small files... like maybe it's so flaky, halfway through a big transfer it chokes, gives up, and gives you the error? | 17:29 |

| danand | tatyawinchu - the spaces shouldn't be replaced by the "\" character. "\" should go before them ie a file named "file 1.txt" should be entered as "file\ 1.txt" but without the quotes | 17:33 |
| tatyawinchu | danand: aaaaah !! | 17:33 |

| sales | hello people | 18:11 |
| danand | demorez213 - like i said, i'm not sure thats possible. most apps have quite rigid rules about where they should be installed to - ie executables in /usr, config files in /etc/ and so on. to install them to another location would require a lot of effort to make it work | 18:11 |
| wigren | hi sales | 18:11 |
| frank_ | mohbana: while that is possible, it would be a very bad idea | 18:11 |
| mohbana | frank_ yes i know but how do i do it? | 18:11 |
| demorez213 | >danand so i'd most likely have to use an ext. hd as my boot drive as well? | 18:11 |
| demorez213 | but i just got it to where I like it :-( j/k | 18:12 |
| frank_ | mohbana: honestly I'm not sure exactly how either. man apt-get to see apt-get documentation. | 18:12 |
| wigren | can i save a file in a virtual machine and then access it again later with the host operating system? | 18:12 |
| * N3bunel saluta | 18:13 | |

| === kalpik_ is now known as kalpik | ||
| sales | wigren yes if you save to a partion readable by both systems | 18:13 |
| danand | demorez213 - you could do that yes. you could copy/clone your current hard drive to the new external drive using dd. then resize with gparted to make use of the extra space. you would also need to install grub on the mbr of the external drive i believe | 18:14 |
| wigren | sales, thank you | 18:14 |
| hischild | bazhang, you see why i'm so confused? as you can see by the name, it's a dual core. It always showed up as dual core. Windows recognizes it as dual core. Yet ubuntu stopped recognizing it as dual core :( | 18:14 |
| retro71 | durring the alternate install of 7.1 32bit, i recieve an error durring the base install: "No installable kernel was found in the APT sources" my install haults there. how can i overcome this? is it a bad image? i ran the md5sum and cd check before install, both came back ok. | 18:14 |
| bazhang | hischild: and it even show the name correctly; that is so weird | 18:14 |
| danand | demorez213 - that again would present a bit of effort to get working... perhaps a reinstall to external hd would be better | 18:14 |
| demorez213 | >danand hmmm perhaps I'll make due with my tiny hd i got my web browser, i got my one music proggy and I have a chat client... | 18:15 |
| hischild | bazhang, yeah ... and it really slows down since it's only using a single core (though i must admit, it's amazingly silent) | 18:15 |

I then sent inetd the hup signal but talkd is still not running. i tried restarting inetd also with no luck | 18:16 |
| frank_ | hischild: just to be clear you're talking about real dual core and not HT? | 18:17 |
| demorez213 | >danand true but my major hope was to clear as much wasted space out of my ubuntu distro, drop in the rt kernel and load it up with all the neat little ubuntu studio packages ;) | 18:17 |
| hischild | frank_, AMD only has dual cores, and no HT. Also, it's not 2 cpu's, it's 2 cores | 18:17 |
| hischild | frank_, http://pastebin.com/f4d7c2fa3 | 18:17 |

| bazhang | dampfyente: in preferred applications | 18:29 |
| credible | it's been fixed for the next release | 18:29 |
| eatatjoes | NinjaPlimsoles> so i should boot from the live cd, open terminal, then type sudo grub, then root (hd that grub has it on, in my case the ext), and setup (main hd, not external)? | 18:29 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, exactly :) | 18:29 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, well if you want to look at the hierarchy, heres a link http://jamesthornton.com/linux/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/ other than that, in windows drivers are stored in system and system32... in linux ALL drivers (in a monolithic layoutl) are inside the kernel | 18:41 |
| rinaldi_ | HighNo: so you'd recomment ssh? its just that i can't work out how to do X forwarding with it | 18:41 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: it always depends on what you want to do with it - but yes, in all my szenarios ssh is involved | 18:42 |

| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: also, i have some games installed in windows xp, now, if i give 5 gbs to ubuntu, do i have to reinstall the games through wine or i can directly start an installed game ? | 18:43 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: the only thing which would stop me from total ubuntu conversion is games =/ | 18:43 |
| rinaldi_ | HighNo: well i want to be able to access my desktop from windows and run apps from there | 18:43 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, you would need to set Wine up to use the correct directories and so on | 18:43 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, also remember not all games/apps are compatible with Wine | 18:43 |
| cjae | is there no need for samba on gusty? | 18:44 |
| hdevalence | is there a program like top but for hdd use? | 18:44 |

| ubotu | Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 18:44 |

| hdevalence | Linux_Fresher: if you're wondering about program X, you can see the wine app db | 18:44 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: do you need to access a running desktop or is that not needed? also good to know - what system are you running at work? | 18:45 |
| Linux_Fresher | hdevalence: yeah thats the one =) | 18:45 |

| HighNo | rinaldi_: just read the windows part of your post... ok, still it depends. it is less intrusive on the windows machine to use ssh/vnc to connect to a running desktop session at home... | 18:46 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, what would you like to know? | 18:46 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: umm basically windows was easy to use because i was really good at all dos commands .. so i knew what was happening behind the screen .. may be something similar for linux? | 18:47 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: is your home machine directly connected to the net or is it connected to a router that is going online? | 18:47 |

| bullgard4 | English help wanted. What does it mean "to host testing" as in "Intel hosted EHCI conformance testing"? (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OHCI) | 18:47 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: ok, so you already have configured the router to route incoming ssh traffic (port 22) to your machine? | 18:47 |
| frank_ | allos_nerelin: install build-essentials | 18:48 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, using the command 'grep' you can search for things and pipe output to it, for example 'dmesg | grep bum' | 18:48 |
| frank_ | allos_nerelin: umm install build-essential | 18:48 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: umm .. grep burn is something like find burn .. but what dmesg stands for ? | 18:48 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, dmesg prints out the kernel ringbuffer, basically anything in kernelspace thats spoken to the kernel directly gets logged | 18:49 |
| prashant | how to safely remove hardware | 18:49 |
| Karsyth | :-! | 18:49 |
| brobostigon | prashant: be more specific, what hardware?? | 18:49 |
| prashant | usb | 18:49 |
| prashant | pen drive | 18:50 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: you should do so to make your home machine be available from the outside. Also a machanism to find your machine from work would be great.You can use something like dyndns.org or just write down your ip and hope it won't change... | 18:50 |
| brobostigon | prashant: umount /dev/*** | 18:50 |
| hdevalence | Linux_Fresher: also, there are a *lot* of indepth guides and howtos at http://tldp.org/ if that would interest you | 18:50 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: ok i will meditate on that !! xD .. looks like lots of reading is coming my way !! just 1 above line for me is 3 topics !! kernel, kernel space , ring buffer !! and why not dmesg !! xD | 18:50 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | prashant, right click > eject/unmount/remove/destroy/nuke or umount /dev/blabla | 18:50 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: next thing is to activate the buildin vnc server on your ubuntu box | 18:50 |
| brobostigon | prashant: or, umount /mountpoint | 18:50 |
| Linux_Fresher | hdevalence: yes, i have 3 very bad exp in past with Mandrake linux .. may be because i was trying to think in windows mind set .. this time i am giving linux a try with no hangups .. as if this is the first OS of my life kinda thingy .. should work that way this time | 18:51 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, get reading matey :) | 18:51 |
| frank_ | Linux_Fresher: I've been using ubuntu for 2 years and don't know what the kernel ringbuffer. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ has lots of info | 18:52 |

| eatatjoes | NinjaPlimsoles: i tried that and it still automatically booted into windows | 18:52 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, ok mate one second | 18:52 |
| hdevalence | Linux_Fresher: the bash shell is discussed here http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/index.html | 18:52 |
| brobostigon | prashant: i told you. | 18:52 |
| prashant | plz again | 18:53 |
| fus10nx | Anyone here use an HDMI graphics card in Linux (Ubuntu) ? | 18:53 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, try this instead: 'sudo grub' then 'find /boot/grub/stage1' and then 'root (hd?,?)' the question marks are what were found with find stage1. then type 'setup (hd0)' and finally 'quit' | 18:53 |
| Linux_Fresher | hdevalence: basically so bash and kernel are 2 different things? may be by bash it means the Terminal ? | 18:53 |
| bazhang | hischild some in the forums have suggested checking the bios to see if amd cool n quiet is set and if so to disable it; others suggest add the kernel option "acpi=off" to menu.lst. | 18:53 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: ok, it works | 18:53 |
| prashant | \idont understand | 18:53 |
| brobostigon | prashant: umount /mountpoint | 18:53 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, by Bash it means BourneAgainShell, which is a terminal emulator | 18:53 |
| hdevalence | Linux_Fresher: bash is command promt, like the dos shell | 18:53 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: for your windows machine you need putty and vnc | 18:53 |
| prashant | where unmount | 18:53 |
| Linux_Fresher | hdevalence: cool !! | 18:54 |

| bazhang | prashant scroll up | 18:54 |
| rinaldi_ | HighNo: ok done that, what vnc server do i install? | 18:54 |
| hdevalence | Linux_Fresher: the kernel is the lowest level, it communicates with the hardware, and you'll never really interact with it directly | 18:54 |
| brobostigon | prashant: run df -h in terminal, then find mountpoint of the drive, and then type umount /mountpoint, replacing mountpoint with the moiuntpoint of the drive | 18:55 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: no vncserver - just the vncviewer | 18:55 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, the Kernel is what processes I/O signals from hardware and drivers, even windows has one :P | 18:55 |

| prashant | kkkkkkkk | 18:55 |
| quarsaw | Karsyth: I have hte same prob | 18:55 |
| eatatjoes | NinjaPlimsoles: this is what i did: console, then i typed sudo grub, then find /boot/grub/stage1 then it said hd(1,5) so i typed root (hd 1,5), then i did setup (hd1,5) then quit and restarted and it started to boot into windows | 18:55 |

| eatatjoes | so should i have typed "setup (hd0)" instead of setup (hd 1,5)? | 18:56 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, sorry, setup (hd0) | 18:56 |
| rinaldi_ | HighNo: i have a windows pc with me at home, so i install putty and a vnc viewer on there right? | 18:56 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, you just set grub to install to your linux partition, not your MBR :P | 18:56 |
| eatatjoes | haha okay | 18:56 |

| frank_ | MTecknology: you need to install evolution-dev maybe other things too idk | 18:59 |
| MTecknology | frank_, that, and others are installed | 19:00 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | linux_freshner, indeedy :) | 19:00 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: sure, after installing you need to do two things (we will do them together now) 1. setup an ssh tunnel, 2. use the tunnel for vnc traffic | 19:00 |
| quarsaw | demonspork: oh I see, I don' tknow how to do that, I've recently done the opposite, serving a folder with apache | 19:00 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: btw today when i launched ubuntu, it didnt even ask me for my gateway ip .. it directly talked to my router and enabled internet .. i was so happily freaked out lol :) | 19:00 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, well it doesnt occupy any MORE space, it just mounts it for vfs access | 19:00 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: so thats HD space or Ram space ? | 19:00 |
| rinaldi_ | HighNo: ok thanks for this, although i only have about half an hour | 19:00 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: i hope vfs is virtual file system may be ? | 19:01 |
| frank_ | MTecknology: and libtool? | 19:01 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, the iso is on your hard drive? :P and yes ALL volumes in Linux are virtual, you can boot and then change your root partition adhoc | 19:01 |
| MTecknology | frank_, just installed it and it got futher | 19:01 |
| MTecknology | further* | 19:01 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: for 1. you start putty, enter your ubuntu's ip, switch it to ssh version 2. then on the left side click on ssh, tunnels and enter the following: source port = 5901, destination= localhost:5900 | 19:02 |
| MTecknology | frank_, I'm installing intltool now too | 19:02 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: yup iso is on my HD .. i am a bit panicy to install linux just yet on HD coz of my old burnt fingers =) | 19:02 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: go back to the session, give it a name and save it so you don't need to reenter those values again | 19:02 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | linux_fresher, well the #ubuntu doors are always open, start by dual-booting with windows for a bit till you get used to it | 19:03 |
| Linux_Fresher | NinjaPlimsoles: actually i was more worried yesterday coz ubuntu.com should mention that its a live cd version which they dont .. thats something that should be there on their FIRST page !! | 19:03 |

| HighNo | rinaldi_: step 2 is very easy: leave the ssh session open, don't enter any commands for the tunnel is open until the session quits. simply start the vncviewer and enter this to connect to: localhost:1 - you should now enter the vnc password of your ubuntu box, that's it. | 19:05 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | Linux_Fresher, for ubuntu installation/ | 19:10 |
| HighNo | rinaldi_: in most cases that means your vncserver is not running as expected. Leave the ssh open and start the vncviewer and try to connect directly to your ubuntu box's ip:0 | 19:10 |

| Jack_Sparrow | carrera, Does it boot to a gui desktop with an icon for installing | 19:48 |
| VeNoM-work | prashant, it depends on your monitor | 19:48 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, i downloaded both the Desktop and Server, but both failed to recognize my RAID | 19:48 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, i cant see what the problem is, it just boots straight to windows? | 19:48 |
| frank_ | mzuverink: try sudo /etc/init.d/mythbackend restart | 19:48 |
| hischild | bazhang, you're awesome <3 tnx | 19:48 |
| mzuverink | ok | 19:48 |
| filthpig | eatatjoes, huh.. There's something far at the back of my mind concerning that.. What do you do to mount them? | 19:49 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, I think it did boot to a GUI, that's what i was trying to remember | 19:49 |
| eatatjoes | NinjaPlimsoles: no when i did the root and setup thing it now gives error 21 instead of booting directly into windows | 19:49 |
| hischild | !helpersnack | bazhang | 19:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carrera, I dont mess with raid any more these days.. but I seem to remember you had to use the alternatecd | 19:49 |
| ubotu | bazhang: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 19:49 |
| eatatjoes | filthpig: i dunno? | 19:49 |
| mzuverink | fran_im not on that machine now, i am at work, but i loogeg this and will try it | 19:49 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, ah... what's the alernate CD then? | 19:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !alternate | 19:49 |
| ubotu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 19:49 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, try this method instead: boot the ubuntu live CD, 'sudo su' then 'fdisk -l' find the linux partition/hd | 19:58 |
| Repentinus | Can someone recommend virtual machine for ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | eatatjoes, then do 'grub-install /dev/hdx' x being your hard drive number | 19:58 |

| havenless | to install ubuntu into, or to run other OSes onto ubuntu? | 19:58 |
| VeNoM-work | what does the sudo do? | 19:59 |
| NinjaPlimsoles | VeNoM-work, sudo grants superuser access | 19:59 |
| Repentinus | Jack, would you be so nice to give me link for download? | 19:59 |
| VeNoM-work | so it's like su in other distros NinjaPlimsoles? | 19:59 |

| NinjaPlimsoles | VeNoM-work, su is user substitution, so if you do sudo su it will sudo you without prompting a password, and then convert your term session into superuser | 20:01 |

| mrpoundsign | Jack_Sparrow: so, when people made the decision to use these uuids -- were they aware that they randomly change? Does linux use a new algorythm for generating ids every 2 months or do? I had the same problem upgrading my desktop machine -- same HDD, but the uuid changed. | 20:11 |

| Downsay | I'm really a newbie with all this stuff | 20:19 |
| Downsay | all I need is pointing in the correct direction | 20:19 |
| Downsay | and thank you for the help! | 20:19 |
| adamb | noscript? | 20:19 |
| danand | Downsay - check your machine can boot from CD by checking in the bios. the cdrom should be before the hard disk in the boot order. | 20:19 |
| NWH_Ed | Ok I have a big problem | 20:19 |
| adamb | default ff installs | 20:19 |
| Downsay | thanks danand | 20:19 |
| danand | Downsay - then just pop the cd in the drive and start the machine | 20:19 |
| Downsay | does anyone know what the server is for mint's help? | 20:19 |
| NWH_Ed | It says that my Ubuntu File System is read only, I have installed Ubuntu | 20:19 |
| marx2k | wow.... screen is NICE. | 20:20 |
| chadse | how did you install FF3 though ... via apt or via compile ? | 20:20 |
| Downsay | k, danand, you've been a huge help | 20:20 |
| Downsay | I'm going to go ahead and do that | 20:20 |

| danand | Downsay - read all the install info before you do that though | 20:20 |
| Downsay | ok | 20:20 |

| Downsay | danand, pm, please | 20:22 |
| chadse | do you notice the issue on js pages .. or pages with embeded video .... what happens if you just open 4 pages of google.com | 20:22 |
| marx2k | Use Opera :) | 20:22 |
| NWH_Ed | My ubuntu install is saying that it is a Read Only File System | 20:22 |

| macogw | adamb: noscript might make it work ok | 20:23 |
| macogw | adamb: no js or flash will run on its own. user has to allow it | 20:23 |
| chadse | adamb ... your problem sounds like a plugin issue then and not FF ... do an about:plugins and make sure there is a plugin listed for Java and for the media types ... esp flash | 20:23 |
| max_ | You see, sometimes the sound works in programs like wine, sometimes it doesnt. | 20:23 |

| bthornton | I'm browsing through the "Add/Remove Applications" app, and I'm seeing two "NVidia binary X.Ord driver"s... one by that name, and one that says ('new' driver). The descriptions are the same. What's the difference? | 20:24 |
| adamb | noscript is a package a ff addon, or? | 20:24 |
| danand | max_ - oh no - if you search the forums there is help available - just that i've seen _alot_ of people have problems with those cards | 20:24 |

| white_eagle | hello, guys when I try to install a deb package it says "Failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache)" | 20:41 |
| spideylinux | lastelement0: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware | 20:41 |
| jim | white_eagle: find out what it needs. install those. try again. | 20:42 |
| white_eagle | jim: no, it does that with ANY package | 20:43 |
| white_eagle | jim: all dependencies for every package I try are installed | 20:43 |
| jim | maybe you're mixing? | 20:43 |
| windvogel | http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=security+server+kde&btnG=Search | 20:43 |
| white_eagle | jim: ? | 20:43 |
| jim | what's one dependency you see that most attempted installs complain about? | 20:44 |
| filthpig | white_eagle, I think there's a way to install stand-alone deb packs with apt, have you tried that` | 20:44 |
| white_eagle | filthpig: I need the newest one | 20:44 |
| white_eagle | filthpig: pidgin 2.4.0 | 20:44 |
| jim | oh, so you are mixing | 20:44 |
| white_eagle | I have removed the old one | 20:44 |
| white_eagle | first | 20:44 |
| jim | you probably have to backport | 20:44 |
| yeonhoo_ | im trying to remove a program that has been installed from source code. I know a command to execute a program but i dont know how to remove | 20:44 |
| yeonhoo_ | any idea? | 20:44 |
| white_eagle | ok | 20:45 |
| white_eagle | I fixed it | 20:45 |
| white_eagle | with running apt-get update | 20:45 |
| filthpig | white_eagle, as I said, you can install /stand-alone/ debs with apt, and apt will take care of deps | 20:45 |
| polter | newest pidgin is available at http://www.getdeb.net/ | 20:45 |
| white_eagle | polter: yes | 20:45 |
| Dial_tone | are the main video encoding apps multi-threaded? I'm wondering if a quad-core is a better deal than OC'ing a core 2 duo box | 20:45 |
| white_eagle | polter: I know | 20:45 |
| yeonhoo_ | im trying to remove a program that has been installed from source code. I know a command to execute a program but i dont know how to remove | 20:45 |
| lastelement0 | spideylinux: i followed the steps there and that did not work | 20:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yeonhoo_, You have been given the answer a few times... INsatalling from outside the repos does have a serious down side | 20:46 |
| qxxx | hi world | 20:46 |

| Jack_Sparrow | yeonhoo_, http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ | 20:47 |
| yeonhoo_ | jim, but i cant find a directory that are installed files | 20:47 |
| jim | maybe "make install > install.log 2>&1" will help | 20:47 |
| yeonhoo_ | Jack_Sparrow, i installed from source code not from package | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yeonhoo_, You dont need to know that if you follow the direction | 20:47 |
| havenless | ok. i recompiled alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, edited /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (6stack-digout), tried all the mixer options and all, still no sound (over spdif)... | 20:47 |

It seems to want a lsb_release. Looking over the web page for that i see a number of large packages. I'm not sure where i can grab that file from. Does anyone know what i speak of? | 20:52 |

| [FT]Alex | oh nm | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Bearcat_work, lsb_release -a works in ubuntu if that is what you mean.. it returns the current distro you are running. | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | [FT]Alex, What is the command to unzoom | 20:54 |
| qxxx | damn, me too WIn+R, now what? | 20:54 |

| HighNo | Hi, while trying to update from gutsy to hardy (update-manager -d) I think I have a problem as the update-manager wants to remove ~100 packages, some of them being xrandr, xmodmap, xman, xhost, xkill, system-config-printer, openoffice.orgm, gpgp... that does not sound sane to me, should I update anyway? | 20:55 |
| Bearcat_work | Jack_Sparrow: thanks. What i need to figure out is how to install it on my (non-rpm using) system. So i'd really like the app and it's associated files in a tarball. But to start with here: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Downloads it is not at all clear to me which one of these contains lsb_release | 20:55 |

| Jack_Sparrow | `David, What... arrrggggh | 21:01 |
| HighNo | VeNoM-work: you can. The server part of vlc will do that | 21:01 |
| cvasilak | bastid_raZor, I selected ath0(my wireless connection) but its still the same :( | 21:01 |
| VeNoM-work | HighNo, I was not aware | 21:01 |
| `David | Jack_Sparrow would any of the drivers on http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ work for my broadcom modem? | 21:01 |
| bastid_raZor | cvasilak; you also have the option to use KB or kbit.. those will surely throw you off if you're not careful | 21:01 |
| chickenFuego | hi, how do I start netspeed, cvasilak ?? | 21:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backtracker, should be a no brainer.. what is the prob | 21:01 |
| Bearcat_work | Jack_Sparrow: yeah, i did. Now, i could grab that on my kubuntu laptop and install it, then copy over the files to my main machine. Of course i need a 64-bit version and my kubuntu laptop is 32...*sigh* | 21:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | `David, yes, but speed will be limited | 21:01 |
| anna | hi | 21:01 |
| fibres | Can anyone tell me how to stop ubuntu from looking to the install cd when running apt-get? | 21:01 |
| Linux_Fresher | iNeo: currently because of little low free space on HD, assigning 5 GBs to ubuntu .. that wont be a problem right .. because website requirement says 2 GB , documentation on CD says 10 GB .. lot of difference | 21:01 |
| backtracker | Jack_Sparrow: well I got this error at TEH 'By compiling it' step | 21:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fibres, easy.. system admin software sources and uncheck cd | 21:02 |
| iNeo | Linux_Fresher: 2 is the minimum | 21:02 |
| chickenFuego | it is not in system->preferences->Sessions, cvasilak ... | 21:02 |
| backtracker | No package 'glitz-glx' found | 21:02 |
| Linux_Fresher | iNeo: so 5 GBs is ok ? | 21:02 |
| fibres | Jack_Sparrow, im running ubuntu server with no gui. | 21:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backtracker, Why compile something that has a drb | 21:02 |
| cvasilak | chickenFuego, http://www.gnome.org/projects/netspeed/ | 21:02 |
| iNeo | Linux_Fresher: for basic install I say yes | 21:02 |
| backtracker | drb? or deb? | 21:02 |
| davee | If setting up encrypted LVM from the Ubuntu Alternate Install CD, can one change the passphrase at a later date, or is it set in stone? | 21:03 |
| bastid_raZor | fibres; edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the CD portion of it | 21:03 |
| Linux_Fresher | iNeo: btw i am as fresh in linux as they come .. BOX PACKED .. so when you say for "basic", is that the one i am doing ? later on if it says "Advanced" i will be totally stumped | 21:03 |
| BizMan | how do i streem video | 21:03 |
| fibres | bastid_raZor, thanks | 21:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | fibres, sudo nano /ect/apt/sources.list rem out the cd | 21:03 |
| BizMan | venom?> | 21:03 |
| brophat | if I watch a youtube video, and then after the video is done, if I leave any firefox window open and I attempt to listen to streaming audio with xmms it says sound is busy. | 21:03 |
| backtracker | Jack_Sparrow: so I just download .deb file and install it that's all? | 21:03 |
| VeNoM-work | sorry, I'm at work, had something to do | 21:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backtracker, yes | 21:03 |
| iNeo | Linux_Fresher: Don't select to many packages, you can add them later | 21:04 |
| backtracker | and where do it install it? | 21:04 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, my / partition is 5 gb and there's no problem, prolly got 3 or 4 gb in use.. then again, I have 240 gb on /home :) | 21:04 |
| VeNoM-work | okay BizMan, if you follow the link I gave you, it will help you to install and set up the program. once installed, you can connect to it from any other computer, and you can stream from the linux computer | 21:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backtracker, Do you want a link or do you have it.. `David may be able to help too.. :) | 21:04 |
| backtracker | Jack_Sparrow: thx | 21:04 |
| VeNoM-work | there are other options out there, but I have found that this workes the easiest for me | 21:04 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: erm .. so home has to be another drive than the OS installation drive? =/ | 21:04 |
| Guido | salut? | 21:04 |
| brophat | anyone know of a way to get around this annoying thing? right now what I have to do is close all firefox windows and then the audio will stream | 21:05 |
| filthpig | no, but it's recommended | 21:05 |
| iancp | is there a way to use see a physical hard drive in a virtualbox guest os? | 21:05 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | brophat, change the audio device in xmms' preference | 21:05 |
| backtracker | it's ugly | 21:05 |
| backtracker | I have a black area out of the Dock | 21:06 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: ok before i get confused and drop the plan, i have one 80 GB hard drive .. 13 GBs free .. can give 5 gbs to Ubuntu .. second hard disk is 40 GB divided as 20 gb and 20 gb .. filled with windowz programs and videos movies etc .. cannot be emptied or used right now | 21:06 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, all I'm saying is that it'll work just fine, as long as you dont intend to save tons of stuff on the partition :) | 21:06 |
| iancp | or if not even a physical folder of a drive | 21:06 |
| brophat | [Hardy]TuTUXG hmm ok any idea what to change it to? | 21:06 |
| backtracker | Jack_Sparrow: I have a black area out of the Dock | 21:06 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: :) that would do | 21:06 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | brophat, u have to try each one, dont know which one is working for u | 21:07 |
| bastid_raZor | iancp; i use vmware but yes it is.. in vmware i set a shared folder then in side the guest os i goto network and find it there. | 21:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backtracker, easy to fix... go into the settings and try a different theme.. | 21:07 |
| brophat | ok thanks | 21:07 |
| chickenFuego | cvasilak, what do you use to compare? I would suggest to run sudo iptraf. | 21:07 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | brophat, there shouldn't be many options anyways | 21:07 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, and you CAN read/write on NTFS/FAT disks from ubuntu, so there's no big problem.. | 21:07 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: okies !! clicking on the install icon !! hopefully this chat doesnt get stopped while installing .. will u be around for next 30 mins or so ? [ how long it would take for this install with default basic packeges ] | 21:07 |
| backtracker | Jack_Sparrow: yep, I've tried but still | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | backtracker, It is in there, keep looking | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | bbl, everyone play nice... | 21:08 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, depends on your hw, but I'd say about 20-30 mins or so.. And everything will work as it should during install :) | 21:08 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: oh NTFS cant be used to write .. thats what the CD documentation said .. so ubuntu loads NTFS as read only .. fat32 is no problem for linux [all this from documentation that comes with cd] | 21:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Linux_Fresher, You can write to ntfs... | 21:09 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: cool !! but now remember !! u r my basic support pillar !! dont run away please for next 1/2 hour | 21:09 |
| cvasilak | chickenFuego, well when firefox say 110kb/sec and netspeed2 applet says 466kb/sec. Is this reasonable? | 21:09 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, yes it can, I've done it several times. That should be default from 7.10.. | 21:09 |
| cvasilak | chickenFuego, i have only firefox open no bittorent no streaming nothing | 21:10 |
| Linux_Fresher | Jack_Sparrow: but .. but .. the documentation that came with CD cant be wrong .. i can copy paste it if u want | 21:10 |
| bastid_raZor | cvasilak; are the update times the same? if netspeed updates slower or fast it'll report different speeds | 21:10 |

| bastid_raZor | cvasilak; in preferences do you have show bits/s (b/s) instead of bytes (B/s) checked or unchecked? | 21:14 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, it's probably just a slip up when updating the documentation from 7.04, ntfs-write wasn't enabled back then | 21:14 |
| cvasilak | bastid_raZor, I found this http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447669 probably some other people have the same problem | 21:14 |

| jorgp | xim: I have always seen /var/www | 21:16 |
| bastid_raZor | cvasilak; i don't have that option checked.. and i'm using version 0.13 .. possibly you're having the same issues as those others. | 21:16 |
| zumo | hi freaks | 21:16 |
| filthpig | Linux_Fresher, I've used the ntfs-3g driver for, well, at least a year, and never had any problems reading or writing to ntfs.. but there's no guarantee, though, so be sure to back-up your essentials from the ntfs drives as a precation | 21:17 |

| fireoflife77 | thanks for the Gentoo plug ozy | 21:25 |
| fireoflife77 | i have a liveCD..i'll check it | 21:25 |

| live_CD | I just bought a used laptop, and .. it came with Office 2007. before I wipe it and install Ubuntu is there a way to get what the product key was for that in case it may come in handy in the future? | 21:26 |
| macogw | Ozymandius: lets have a race. my apt, your emerge. which do you think will be faster? | 21:26 |
| Ozymandius | macogw: Default install now isn't compile, just install new things with compile | 21:26 |
| havenless | this stupid HDA audio just won't work | 21:26 |
| Rods_Tiger | andit's a foreign language onefrom a foreign country | 21:26 |
| havenless | would OSS fix the issue? | 21:26 |
| eatatjoes2 | im having problems with GRUB anyone good with installing Ubuntu onto an external HD (with Windows on the main internal one)? | 21:26 |
| Ozymandius | macogw: Probably apt, since I don't even use emerge | 21:26 |
| macogw | Ozymandius: O_o thats not even gentoo then....thats like...O_o dang dan's gonna be going for LFS soon | 21:26 |

| Ozymandius | Actually, its completely gentoo, uses the same tree | 21:27 |
| Brian323 | Hello | 21:27 |
| macogw | Ozymandius: all linux uses the same upstream sources | 21:27 |

| fireoflife77 | neville: ok i'm at the login prompt | 21:32 |

| taime1 | it saves to xorg.conf after all right? | 21:32 |
| Brian323 | chickenFuego, I can't seem to switch to a userlevel that lets me install the NVIDIA driver | 21:32 |
| neville_ | Yes | 21:33 |
| Viden | taime1: as long as you click the save or apply button .. yes | 21:33 |
| taime1 | yeah.. i am.. just not as root | 21:33 |
| Viden | mine will not save settings unless you do it as root ..... sudo nvidia-settings | 21:33 |
| neville_ | fireoflife77 login, do you know if you have a text editor like, say, nano? | 21:33 |
| Squawk | Brian323, what exactly is a userlevel? root? sudo apt-get? | 21:33 |
| taime1 | k, where can i discover the problem that i am having: when i logout, it takes forever to log back in, sometimes it wont at all... | 21:33 |
| neville_ | Or maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg will suffice | 21:34 |
| fireoflife77 | yeah..i forget my pass for root (DOH!) i set this up..as a test install..with easy user/pass for user..but forgot my root pass | 21:34 |
| neville_ | Use that first, try setting the driver to vesa, then startx | 21:34 |
| Brian323 | Userlevel ?? I think it's like #1 is root, no xserver 3 is with xserver. They seem to change from distro to distro. I'm just learning myself. | 21:35 |
| neville_ | You shouldn't need root if you use sudo? | 21:35 |

| fireoflife77 | i can do the reconfigure if i start up in recovery mode | 21:35 |
| fireoflife77 | i'll try that | 21:35 |
| fireoflife77 | thanks! | 21:35 |
| Darkmystere | Could some one help me i cannot get compiz-dev package to install. it gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58677/ | 21:35 |

| Copies | NEW UBUNTU SKILLZ: FIREFOX CANT PROPERLY USE GMAIL. GG PWND | 21:36 |
| Flannel | fireoflife77: the "sudo" password is your user password. Root's password is different entirely (and not-set unless you did it, which you really should think twice about doing) | 21:36 |
| nickrud | what's that factoid, if you tell someone how to set up root be prepared to provide support | 21:36 |

| prince_jammys | here | 21:38 |
| komputes | Flannel: that would be quite an issue... wouldn't you have to spend days running jack to get the password back? | 21:38 |
| Flannel | komputes: It also adds an extra few minutes where we have to help, and then you reveal that you've set a root password, and we have to do stuff different. | 21:38 |
| nickrud | komputes: someone forgetting which terminal they've been working as root in (say /etc) and running rm , meaning to do that in a terminal somewhere in home. A common new user scenario | 21:38 |
| prince_jammys | how do you *unset* the root password? | 21:39 |

| archman | ? | 21:54 |
| Karsyth | archman: wine | 21:54 |

| ArthurArchnix | Brian323: gOS... isn't that a completely open and completely free distro? If it is, then I recall reading something about how it was definitely not for newbies... | 21:56 |
| flowOver | gOS is the walmart sponsored distro built ontop of ubuntu | 21:56 |
| Karsyth | archman: alright , thanks | 21:56 |
| ArthurArchnix | ahh flowOver thanks. | 21:56 |
| archman | Karsyth: solved? | 21:56 |
| prince_jammys | mrpoundsign: what's inside the loop? | 21:56 |
| willis_ | gOS is free to download, and use. but its not really 'completly' free. since it has a lot of the google apps I belive. they made a deal with google to include them | 21:56 |
| flowOver | it's made for the ultra newbie | 21:56 |
| flowOver | the type who would buy a computer at walmart | 21:56 |
| Karsyth | archman: i hope so, my dads yellin at me to help him with somethin. im gonna try it in a second | 21:56 |
| willis_ | gOS is neat.. but really lacking in some ways | 21:56 |
| Brian323 | ArthurArchnix, nope. gOS is supposed to be for newbies.. or so I thought. It seems very limited | 21:57 |
| ArthurArchnix | I must be thinking about something else that sounds like gOS.... | 21:57 |
| willis_ | It does come with a $200 PC. :) | 21:57 |
| Darkmystere | i cannot get compiz-dev package to install. it gives me this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/58677/ | 21:57 |

| AHemlocksLie | I recently tried to run Ventrilo through Wine, and I got an error claiming my video card doesn't support hardware video overlay. Is this a Wine problem or a configuration problem? And does anyone know what I can do about it? | 21:58 |
| archman | Karsyth: ok, tell me if it's installed or not | 21:58 |
| Brian323 | willis... everytime i try to install Ubuntu it freezes.. gOS, based on Ubuntu, does not freeze | 21:59 |
| filthpig | Brian323, you can check out OpenGEU, it's also ubuntu with e17, and gOS kinda sucks :) | 21:59 |
| gafatoa | komputes: same problem, X starts in 1024 ... here is the xorg.conf "modes" line: Modes"1680x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" | 21:59 |
| prince_jammys | Brian323: try the alternate cd | 21:59 |
| Linux_Fresher | filthpig: is there some linux utility which allows resizing ? dont want to reboot into windows i guess | 21:59 |
| flowOver | Brian323: install with the alternative cd. the live cd would freeze for me repeatedly as well. | 21:59 |
| willis_ | Brian323, i had an odd issue like that once.. Kubuntu/Ubuntu locked up the pc. but xubuntu worked.. I tend to use the alternative cd's it tends to work better then the live cds | 21:59 |

| prince_jammys | i didn't "suggest" anything by the way, i asked a question. clown | 22:04 |
| SLeepingSloth | lnames #sabayon | 22:04 |
| jtld | Yes, actually. I did a very deep scan in safe mode with two programs and the computer is very clean. | 22:04 |
| jim | julian_: would you be trying to install packages from a different version of the os? | 22:04 |
| jtld | That was my first thought also? | 22:05 |
| zhanx | jtld: soons like you a got bot or two on your network | 22:05 |
| Linux_Fresher | in Gpartition, what MiB stands for ? | 22:05 |
| willis_ | jtld, I am thinking like zhanx also. There may be some thing odd on the network. Could put in some sort of network monioring/logging and see where the ip of the mail is comming from. but this is all over my head now. | 22:06 |
| jtld | I would agree normally but I have personally checked every computer on the NW 5 at that office and all were clean except one which didn't have anything too serious. | 22:06 |
| julian_ | jim: what do you mean? | 22:06 |
| Linux_Fresher | for example .. New Size (MiB) .. what is MiB ? | 22:06 |
| jtld | I ran low level scans on all computers and they were actually cleaner than average. | 22:06 |
| willis_ | jtld, could unplug one machine at a time :) or unplug them all.. and then watch, plug in each one.. see if one seems to be doing it. | 22:06 |
| zhanx | jtld: you do a scan for open smtp ports on teh network? | 22:07 |
| julian_ | jim: what where you talking about? | 22:07 |
| openSea | hi, all! is there any way i can get the latest release of Wine on ubuntu/kubuntu? the best i can do from the repos is v.0.9.46, while at sf.net they are at 0.9.56. any suggestion? | 22:07 |
| zhanx | these new bots are out there on the tricky scale | 22:07 |
| Linux_Fresher | !MiB | 22:07 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about mib - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:07 |
| jtld | No - I didn't. What program would you use for that? | 22:07 |
| ICQnumber | !wine | 22:08 |

| Linux_Fresher | free space preceding MiB and Free space Following MiB .. what is MiB ? | 22:09 |
| jtld | zhanx - thank you. does it make sense that it is only attacking one computer on the NW? | 22:09 |
| zhanx | Linux_Fresher: megabytes | 22:09 |
| Linux_Fresher | zhanx: thats MB | 22:09 |
| prince_jammys | Linux_Fresher: one mebibyte 1 MiB = 220 B = 1 048 576 B | 22:10 |

| jtld | zhanx: while I cannot rule out this possibility especially since I have nothing else to go on - typically when I have found viruses on a computer or a NW the computers have files and other entries that come up in low level scans. Even if you don't get the main item you will find an indicator that something is there. This computer was totally clean when I scanned it. | 22:14 |

| MadMick_BowenQLD | I'm going to scan Ubuntu forums again... just keep in mind guys "hardware SATA raid installation problems" with partitioner.. be back shortly | 22:24 |
| Karsyth | archman: i dont know where the wine files are located | 22:24 |
| Nith | Karsyth: ~/.wine/ | 22:24 |
| snowserf21 | Simply does not work follow a guide identical to that and I can not see any file .rmvb | 22:24 |
| archman | Karsyth: how you installed wine? | 22:25 |
| seb962 | Snowserf21, can you add more information to that? What guide did you follow? Do you get any error message? | 22:25 |
| snowserf21 | ok | 22:25 |
| Karsyth | archman: i tried the command sudo apt-get install wine | 22:25 |
| Timbo | so here's an interesting one | 22:25 |
| amaridian | btw: whoever invented this liveCD Stuff - im impressed. ChatZilla Firefox Plugin works perfectly :) | 22:25 |
| snowserf21 | http://joshuataylor.info/ubuntu-rmvb/ | 22:25 |
| Timbo | i mount /home with nfs | 22:25 |
| archman | Karsyth: try sudo apt-get remove wine | 22:26 |
| Nith | Karsyth: Your "c drive" is ~/.wine/drive_c/ | 22:26 |
| Nith | oh you're trying to remove it | 22:26 |
| Timbo | but on every client, the terminal doesn't replace /home/tma/ with ~ | 22:26 |

| seb962 | Quick brb | 22:26 |
| Timbo | tma@borboletta:/home/tma/downloads$ | 22:26 |

| amaridian | an wont go on :( | 22:29 |
| Karsyth | archman: it says theres nothing to un-install | 22:29 |
| Karsyth | archman: and when i go into add/remove it says this Cannot install 'wine' This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'wine' the conflicting software must be removed first. Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict. | 22:29 |

| MadMick_BowenQLD | Astro76.. is it an option as the DVD boots up??? | 22:35 |
| astro76 | MadMick_BowenQLD: I've never used the dvd | 22:35 |

| Karsyth | archman: i have it in the right directory, now what do i want to run? | 22:36 |
| rencore_ | how can i do the check that it does every 30-mounts manually | 22:36 |
| jtld | snowserf21: latest package should work - try booting into a live CD put your file on a flash drive, then follow the steps to see if they work, this will at least check if it works under a default installation with nothing else changed. | 22:36 |
| Karsyth | archman: yes | 22:36 |
| snowserf21 | ty for all | 22:36 |
| MadMick_BowenQLD | astro76.. well my ISP let's me download free a whole ubuntu mirror.. which CD or DVD should I get? | 22:36 |

| hischild | MadMick_BowenQLD, if you can download the alternate cd (it's called that way) you have only a text based install. I think that the desktop cd (the one you have) also has an option for text based install. (cd/dvd can be switched if you want) | 22:40 |

| tdn | soundray, okay? So it is not safe to just install the hardy package in gutsy? | 22:55 |

| codename | Beryl is no more... | 23:07 |
| Pelo | szf | 23:07 |
| codename | That's why I was asking, since beryl merged with Compiz. | 23:07 |
| soundray | scuderia: do a 'gksu gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/cinelerra.postrm'. Find the line where it's trying to remove /usr/bin/Cinelerra and comment it out with a #. Save and rerun 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 23:07 |

| Lowke1 | neosix: | 23:35 |
| audrius | and when i allow restricted dirver my comp crasehe after rrestart | 23:35 |
| audrius | i write slowly | 23:36 |
| audrius | have you checked the various guides on the forum? yes i did | 23:36 |
| neosix | Lowke1: go to official web site and check deps | 23:36 |
| LinuxMonkey | audrius not asking the question the first time may cost you....first born, arm and possibly a leg... but seriously write it all out and then hit enter once :) | 23:36 |
| DjViper | lol LinuxMonkey | 23:36 |
| smartface | Hi, my server uses a LOT of ram but no swap. Is there a way I can configure it to use more swap? | 23:37 |
| Lowke1 | ok | 23:37 |
| Karsyth | archman: alright i think its done, i dont see any errors. last thing i did was sudo make install | 23:37 |
| Karsyth | archman: where do i go from here? | 23:37 |
| LinuxMonkey | Smartface it only uses the swap it needs, ram is much faster than swap | 23:37 |
| smartface | Ok | 23:38 |
| LinuxMonkey | smartface its always better to use ram than swap. if you want to use more swap you can always put more memory intensive load on the server | 23:38 |
| smartface | And is there some way I can see (from SSH) what's using up all the ram? | 23:38 |
| Starnestommy | smartface: top | 23:39 |
| smartface | And is it bad to constantly be using 98% of the ram? | 23:39 |
| smartface | thanks | 23:39 |
| Starnestommy | or ps | 23:39 |
| soundray | smartface: no, it's not bad. | 23:39 |
| * cmpsalvestrini thinks it's a good thing linux is not the other os from redmond | 23:39 | |
| smartface | cool | 23:39 |
| smartface | thanks a lot guys | 23:39 |
| soundray | smartface: Linux doesn't leave RAM lying about unused -- it uses it for buffers and caches whenever possible. | 23:39 |
| DjViper | cmpsalvestrini: that would be osx :P | 23:39 |
| themill | ps -Ao pid,tt,user,fname,size | sort -n -k5 | 23:39 |
| cmpsalvestrini | lol djviper | 23:40 |
| themill | smartface: ^^... bah | 23:40 |
| pedro__ | hello | 23:40 |
| DjViper | haha, 'vistakiller' | 23:40 |
| DjViper | nice name | 23:40 |
| flyback- | how do I shutdown a ubuntu box to console only | 23:41 |
| Karsyth | archman: whats next? | 23:41 |
| DjViper | flyback-: ctrl+alt+backspace | 23:41 |
| flyback- | I guess ubuntu doesn't have the normal runlevel stuff | 23:41 |
| icesword | !hostname | 23:41 |
| ubotu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab | 23:41 |
| soundray | flyback-: 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' | 23:41 |
| cmpsalvestrini | flyback have you tried sudo init 3? | 23:41 |
| flyback- | dj DOESN'T work on remote and that just restarts X anyways | 23:41 |
| pedro__ | hello i m new in ubuntu | 23:41 |
| DjViper | flyback-: ah okay | 23:41 |
| seb962 | Hey guys, any ideas on how to restrict writing but allow reading between a windows and a ubuntu partition?? | 23:41 |
| flyback- | thx soundray | 23:41 |
| DjViper | flyback-: you should have specified ;P | 23:41 |
| seb962 | Pedro, welcome to the best community ever | 23:41 |
| icesword | good morning! | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | may i ask please... why is it that my folders keep saying "Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "My Music"" | 23:42 |
| pedro__ | thanks | 23:42 |
| seb962 | f0rmat | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | yes | 23:42 |
| Karsyth | anyone know what i do after sudo make install for wine? | 23:42 |
| seb962 | F0rmat if im not wrong, thats a nautilus issue | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | oh | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | ok | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | well i reinstalled | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | and it says it again | 23:42 |
| f0rmat | i have to reboot | 23:42 |
| FloodBot3 | f0rmat: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:42 |
| seb962 | Try to use killall nautilus, and to put your default view in icons, not list. | 23:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seb962, You should be able to edit fstab to set that to read only | 23:43 |
| seb962 | jack_sparrow Hey there mr :D | 23:43 |
| Mezriss | greetings. I've used Gmount-iso to mount .iso file, but was unable to unmount it later (gmount-iso just ignored that button) then I've inserted cd and contents of /media/cdrom0 change dapropriately. BUT now i can't get my cd back, unable to unmount it wis gmount-iso (it still thinks that there's a iso on cdrom0) and nable to unmount it with nautilus (it tells umount: it seems /media/cdrom0 is mounted multiple times) | 23:43 |
| prince_jammys | seb962: you want to deny write access to the ntfs partition from ubuntu, right? | 23:43 |
| Mezriss | any ideas what should i do now? | 23:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | seb962, HOw id the format and install do on the bad drive? | 23:43 |
| cmpsalvestrini | o btw guys, i've come acros some weirdness with the rt kernel in gutsy | 23:43 |

| rrplay | seb962: check /etc/fstab win part mount read only ro | 23:43 |
| seb962 | Everyone: Thanks, i'll do some research on the fstab file. | 23:44 |
| seb962 | Quick brb. | 23:44 |
| soundray | Mezriss: in a terminal 'sudo umount /media/cdrom0'. Any errors, put them on the pastebin for us to see. | 23:44 |
| pedro__ | is there any virus for ubuntu? | 23:44 |
| prince_jammys | !virus | pedro__ | 23:44 |
| ubotu | pedro__: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 23:44 |

| ubotu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. | 23:57 |
