| icesword | mc-george, maybe your mouse is too old | 00:00 |
| artenius | xobius: can I use Amarok in gnome? it says kde. I wasn't sure | 00:00 |
| artenius | I assume so | 00:00 |
| mc-george | icesword: logitech mx500, not that old | 00:01 |
| Polishpaul | a | 00:01 |
| xobius | artenius, yes I use it in Gnome | 00:01 |
| geirha | angusb: don't remember where I read about it. When you remove packages with amarok, it also remove packages it depended on that are no longer needed by any packages | 00:01 |
| icesword | mc-george, middle button doesn't work? | 00:01 |
| geirha | angusb: err, s/amarok/aptitude/ | 00:01 |

| mindheavy | i was using CLI to copy over some files to a usb flash drive, after finishing that, and exiting that terminal, gnome is still saying the device is busy, sudo umount also reports device is busy, any way to tell what is still accessing the device? | 00:01 |

| kust3mz | can someone please tell me how to get Libs header installed? | 00:02 |
| sYn_0n3 | good read might give u more insight | 00:02 |
| angusb | geirha: where do I go since I closed down the instial setup in amarok to enter my mysql data? | 00:02 |

| microwaver | sYn_0n3, nothing changed :) | 00:02 |
| sfears | anyone have an idea why i'd get an "irq: 10 nobody cared" error on boot? It just keeps repeating & locks up boot. Only on reboot, not on a turn off & back on. | 00:02 |
| angusb | I also see a "Postfix Configuration" and I am not sure what I do now | 00:02 |
| xobius | artenius, I don't know if that plugin work | 00:03 |

| mc-george | icesword, no options there | 00:03 |
| combat | techqbert, if /home is located on another partition it would be no problem | 00:03 |
| sYn_0n3 | with that said..sorry i couldnt help you figure out ur problem...im goin for a smoke | 00:03 |
| icesword | mc-george, firefox config? | 00:03 |
| geirha | kust3mz: header files are installed by packages suffixed by -dev, so if you need the header files for a libfoo, install libfoo-dev | 00:04 |
| mc-george | didn't find an option | 00:04 |
| microwaver | sYn_0n3, thanks, but did that one already :-) thanks for the help tho, going to get a nap before work. | 00:04 |

| geirha | angusb: that's one of mysql's dependancies. Just choose a local configuration or something... don't remember what options it gives you | 00:05 |

| xnox | does anyone wants to help me by looking how defaults python init file looks on your ubuntu? =D | 00:05 |

| Scunizi | I haven't done dual monitors since early Dapper days. How easy is it now with xRANDr? and is the desktop stretched across both monitors? or is it like xinerama use to be with two screens each having a the same "non-stretched" wallpaper? | 00:08 |
| Jordan_U | Megaqwerty, You're screwed :) | 00:08 |
| Megaqwerty | Jordan_U: haha. Fair enough. | 00:09 |
| geirha | angusb: when you have run mysql -uroot and ran those two queries, then in amarok's settings, you leave host and port to their default values, and database, username and password are all 'amarok' | 00:09 |
| mindheavy | sfears: you know of a way to list what might be keeping this drive busy? all i did was copy a few files to it from a terminal, then closed that terminal and tried unmounting it from the desktop icon | 00:09 |
| Nilbus | I'm considering buying a macbook pro to put ubuntu on it. Anyone have hardware issues with the 4th gen macbook pros? | 00:09 |
| sfears | no i don't mindheavy, but i'd like to | 00:10 |
| mindheavy | thanks anyhow, i'll log out i suppose | 00:10 |
| sfears | and i'd imagine there is someway to force the unmount.. but i'm not sure what that is either | 00:10 |
| Scunizi | mindheavy, might be slocate if you use the locate command I think it automatically does a cron update | 00:10 |
| Pelo | Nilbus, consider doing a search for it in the forum and looking at this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport www.ubuntuforums.org | 00:10 |
| geirha | angusb: I need to leave so hopefully someone else can help you if you have any other questions. Good luck! | 00:10 |

| Nilbus | frank23, the laptops that dell sells - they're known to work well hardware-wise with linux, I would hope? | 00:15 |
| * Dr_Willis installs apt-file | 00:15 | |

| polishpaul | I'm playing with compiz and i'm wondering, what is the difference (under general options -> desktop size) between virtual desktops and the horizontal/vertical sizing? The reason i ask is because if i use both some of the compiz features 'lock up' the desktop | 00:16 |
| frank23 | Nilbus: I think so. but there are only a few models | 00:16 |
| Odd-rationale | drakode: sudo apt-get install gnome-desktop | 00:16 |

| Nilbus | frank23, the system73 seems to have suspend problems, which is the reason I'm looking for a new laptop | 00:16 |

| Al-Khouli | heguru, couldn't find package | 00:17 |
| === c is now known as Charitwo | ||
| frank23 | Nilbus: Alot of computers have suspend problems AFAIK | 00:17 |

| Jack_Sparrow | kust3mz, DId you see anything in the docs about stopping gdm ? as in hit clt-alt-f2, login. run sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop. do your nivida stuff, using sudo. sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start to restart X . ctl-alt-f7 to get back to gui, if needed | 00:17 |
| heguru | Al-Khouli: make sure you're typing the name right, its the number "1" in zlib1g | 00:17 |
| frank23 | Nilbus: From what I've heard, system76's support is excellent. I don't know about suspend though | 00:18 |
| Nilbus | frank23, I know. I had one that was working though - a toshiba. Do you know of others with working suspend? | 00:18 |
| frank23 | Nilbus: no I don't know. | 00:18 |
| sfears | mindheavy, try fuser -v /directory/mounted | 00:18 |
| Jack_Sparrow | frank23, I think suspend depends mostly on the video card/drivers | 00:18 |
| oboy03 | i have a fresh install of ubuntu and updated the important security updates and i want to burn it on aptoncd: question is if i update the recommended updates gutsy, can i just burn it again on cd so all apts are there? | 00:18 |
| Odd-rationale | Nilbus: From what i read, system76's laptops are pretty much garunteed suspend/hibernate. Have you gone to support? | 00:18 |
| heguru | Nilbus: I have LG with working suspend and hibernate | 00:19 |
| Nilbus | Odd-rationale, oh, I was just going off of some review someone wrote | 00:19 |
| Nilbus | Odd-rationale, perhaps out of date | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oboy03, yes... /var/cache/apt/archives has all the debs that are dl'd | 00:19 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oboy03, aptoncd has an overall size limit from what I rmemeber | 00:19 |
| artenius | xobius: thanks, it works perfectly | 00:19 |
| oboy03 | jack_sparrow: so apt on cd is simply copying these repos? | 00:20 |
| mindheavy | sfears: ah! right after i copied those files, emerald went down, and from that same terminal, i ran 'emerald &' 'fuser' reported emerald when i ran it, maybe if i kill that PID (and possibly emerald again) it'll let me umount | 00:20 |

| angusb | hey guys I was being helped settin g up amarok with mysql and I installed mysql and ran "create database amarok" and " grant all on amarok.* to amarok@'localhost' identified by amarok". I was then told to leave my hostname as localhost, the port on default, and the database|username|password all set to amarok. It's not working and I am getting a mysql error rported in Amarok | 00:20 |
| sfears | try it out | 00:20 |
| sfears | i think that command tells you what process is using the specified directory | 00:20 |
| angusb | not sure what I should fix | 00:20 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oboy03, no, aptpn cd does more, it creates the list of packages etc as if a full repo.. | 00:20 |
| mindheavy | sfears: yes, that worked hah, wonder why that command was keeping the drive busy, i thought 'emerald &' would run 'emerald' and exit | 00:20 |
| kust3mz | Jack_Sparrow: I am trying to install my drivers right now and its says im in run level 1 and may cause prolbems how do i change to run level 3 | 00:20 |
| oboy03 | ok | 00:21 |
| === master_o1_master is now known as master_of_master | ||
| oboy03 | so i can burn now what i've downloaded onto a cd and burn the one's i will download after burning the cd? | 00:21 |
| sfears | i wouldn't expect emerald to use that directory at all.. but who knows | 00:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | kust3mz, I dont know where you are at with that.. all I can suggest is you rad the docs where you got the drivers you want to use | 00:21 |
| Nilbus | wow, system76 is for sure a whole lot cheaper | 00:22 |
| oboy03 | on the same cd that is | 00:22 |
| Nilbus | (than a macbook) | 00:22 |
| heguru | mindheavy: you can use lsof to find out which files are open by which process | 00:22 |
| mindheavy | i'll have to remember that command, seems like it would come in handy | 00:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | oboy03, Yes, then manually copy them to that same folder as needed.. see clone or automate below | 00:22 |
| Pelo | Nilbus, but but macs are chick magnets .... | 00:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !clone | oboy03 | 00:22 |
| ubotu | oboy03: 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 | 00:22 |
| kust3mz | Jack_Sparrow: When i install all my drivers and stuff and get ready to boot ubuntu it hangs at 3 bars on the splash bar | 00:22 |
| mindheavy | heguru: yeah thats a good point, although i didnt know what process it was until i ran 'fuser' | 00:22 |
| Dr_Willis | My wife hates macs :) | 00:22 |
| oboy03 | ok thanks | 00:22 |
| aboo0ood | heguru, thanx alot, that was fast !! | 00:22 |

| ubotu | Marius: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 00:24 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders if anyone knows what mugen linux is. | 00:24 | |
| Pelo | Marius, look in the repos , use synaptic menu > systm> admin > synaptic package manager | 00:24 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Marius, please dont repeat like that | 00:24 |
| Pelo | Marius, if you can't find it in there, google for the source and build it | 00:24 |
| Marius | i have downloaded mugen for linux but it wont run | 00:25 |
| polishpaul | jchagas: search google, i found a separate website for a polish version | 00:25 |
| chafe | how do i switch window managers / desktop environments once i have them installed? if they are not listed in the GDM startup list | 00:25 |
| jchagas | Jack, is it an installation option? | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Marius, is it a *.deb file? | 00:25 |
| Pelo | Marius, check in the rpos first | 00:25 |
| angusb | hey guys I was being helped setting up amarok with mysql and I installed mysql and ran "create database amarok" and " grant all on amarok.* to amarok@'localhost' identified by amarok".

It's not working and I am getting a MySQL error reported in Amarok about username and password being incorrect | 00:25 |
| sfears | heguru, syntax? "search *.conf | grep pattern *top_panel_screen*" | 00:25 |
| Jack_Sparrow | chafe, How did you install them and which ones are they | 00:25 |
| Marius | no it's bz2 | 00:26 |
| Marius | and a folder | 00:26 |

| heguru | sfears: grep top_panel_screen *.conf | 00:26 |
| sfears | will try | 00:26 |
| jchagas | Paul, but is it an installation option? | 00:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | mugen is probably not in the repos | 00:26 |
| Pelo | Marius, that's the source, see here for how to install http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/ | 00:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Marius, then you need to look for a readme inside or docs on their site. Most likely you will need to build it from source | 00:26 |
| chafe | Pelo thats the GDM | 00:26 |
| chafe | Pelo ....besides using the GDM | 00:26 |
| polishpaul | jchagas: i believe so - if you mean to say that the installer was in polish | 00:26 |

| heguru | !root | Sindacious | 00:43 |
| ubotu | Sindacious: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:43 |

| Dr_Willis | ripper666, I mean what you NEED a torrent client to do.. not what files you want to grab. What you want to download. dosent really matter. :) | 00:55 |

| sp0ro | andguent: I won't be allowed to change anything on the router for security purposes, I will only be allowed to forward SSH to port 3389 | 00:55 |

| Megaqwerty | !paste | loser | 00:56 |
| andguent | sp0ro: two ways to do that, depending on if you can control the router.... one is to play with the 'port' directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config -- you can have multiple 'Port' lines | 00:56 |
| sp0ro | andguent: This has to be done server side, unfortunately. If I had access to the router that has remote access permissions setup, it would be easy. :) | 00:56 |

| loser | megaqwerty: yes but the device im trying to configure is my wireless at eth1 | 00:59 |
| Hammer89 | Dr_Willis: alright... and then compiz --replace to restart it? (or ctrl-alt-backspace)? | 00:59 |
| ltcabral | Dr_Willis: ya but inside the tar.gz theres a bunch of folders with some .png and others... can u drag the .tar.gz? | 00:59 |

| ltcabral | Dr_Willis: well i cant make the theme works properly... its not changing the font, and some other things | 01:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ltcabral, Drag and drop.. but note, not all themes work as you expect, especially when you have effects running | 01:00 |

| Odd-rationale | polishpaul: Go to Tools -> plugins | 01:05 |
| histo | matt___: there are many programs to do it. | 01:05 |
| andguent | sp0ro: i use it all the time, if you want to go really fancy you can use xinetd and configure sshd to launch through that on yet another port for redundancy if sshd crashes (very rare) | 01:05 |

| kust3mz | Megaqwerty: are these themes free? | 01:16 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: apt-get update caches the package lists, so on the second time it's run (sometime soon after the first update) it doesn't download as much. | 01:16 |

| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: taking a look | 01:16 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: my mistake | 01:17 |
| Gatton | GamingX, I had to do this recently. You can boot to the XP cd and run a Repair. That will get you into the recovery console. You can try running FIXBOOT C: or FIXMBR to rewrite your master boot record | 01:17 |
| Gatton | that should let you get back into windows. Worked for me | 01:17 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: first, do sudo aptitude purge ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-modules-1.9 ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 | 01:17 |
| GamingX | Gatton: What exactly does it do? | 01:17 |
| acee1235 | Megaqwerty: that heped a bit and for some reason every repository was disabled | 01:17 |
| grizlo42 | -.- | 01:18 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: probably not every one. | 01:18 |
| DARKGuy | Gatton, GamingX: BIG CAREFUL WITH THAT ONE... seriously I lost my partition because I was careless, that was reporting my windows drive was E: (when it's always C:)... just make sure it's C instead of E :/ | 01:18 |
| Gatton | GamingX, it rewrites your MBR which is where grub is located. you can google fixmbr and fixboot. that should get you more info | 01:18 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: but everything but the main one I would understand. | 01:18 |
| Xcerca | i just had done the apt-get nvidia-settings , but i didn't see anywhere to open the config , is there a command to enable the nvidia settings ? | 01:18 |
| TaRDy | Megaqwerty, eth1 is up, however the device isn't always connected to it | 01:18 |
| grizlo42 | im annoyed, i can´t get my port forwarding to work, anyone know what to do for thw WGR614v6 netgear router? | 01:18 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: the restricted, multiverse, universe, etc. are optional, and you must enable them yourself. | 01:18 |
| Gatton | DARKGuy, good point. Recovery console should show where your windows installation is for example C:\WINDOWS before it allows you to get into the recovery console | 01:18 |
| acee1235 | Megaqwerty: even the main one was disabled | 01:19 |
| DARKGuy | Gatton, yeah it does, I was careless :p | 01:19 |
| GamingX | And I get into recovery console? | 01:19 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: quite odd indeed | 01:19 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: well, at least you can fix it :) | 01:19 |
| Gatton | GamingX, boot your XP cd and choose the R or Repair option. That will get you into recovery console... | 01:19 |
| Gatton | it will ask you for your admin password | 01:19 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: http://pastebin.com/mc675825 | 01:19 |
| acee1235 | Megaqwerty: hope thats the extent of the quirks on this install | 01:19 |
| Xcerca | whats the difference between nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-settings ? , whenever i install one it removed the other one | 01:19 |
| GamingX | Ok. Thanks. | 01:19 |
| Megaqwerty | acee1235: I would certainly hope so as well | 01:19 |
| GamingX | I'll try this out. | 01:20 |
| Gatton | then it puts you into a prompt. from there you can try running fixboot c: or fixmbr. again it's not a bad idea to google those to get more info before you try it | 01:20 |

| andguent | grizlo42: when trying to go from inside your own network, to the outside facing connection of your router, that gets really weird, its unfortunately a poor test -- what you need is to test connecting to your external IP from somewhere else, grc.com has a shieldsUp scanner that will tell you what you have open | 01:27 |

| rnartos | have anyone tried ubuntu-landscape? is it similar to webmin? | 01:28 |
| sp0ro | andguent: Thanks for that website btw, I'm checking it out now | 01:28 |
| kholerabbi | I just installed 7.10 on my laptop and the wired internet is not working, although it says it is you can't use it at all. help please :) | 01:28 |
| Gatton | jacob, System->Preferences-Appearance. Then click Customize button then click Pointer tab | 01:29 |
| andguent | sp0ro: i'm about ready to write yet another shorewall tutorial just because i cant find any good ones, but that doesn't help you much for that server..... | 01:29 |
| Megaqwerty | kust3mz: btw, if kdm theme manager isn't installed, you can install it by doing: sudo aptitude install kdmtheme | 01:29 |
| ingo__ | hallo! since yesterday i can't install out of my repositories. "apt" crashes with this output: "Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gstm/gstm_1.2-4_i386.deb Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)" | 01:29 |
| SisyphusINC | what is a good firewall for linux? | 01:29 |
| jacob | thx | 01:29 |
| Pici | !firewall | SisyphusINC | 01:29 |
| ubotu | SisyphusINC: 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). | 01:29 |
| andguent | sisyphusinc: or shorewall if you are a command line user | 01:30 |
| drascus321 | Question: every now and then for seemingly no reason my screen flickers. It happens rarely but just enough to annoy me | 01:30 |
| kust3mz | Megaqwerty: ok will do | 01:30 |
| Megaqwerty | kust3mz: and just in case this also isn't installed, you can install ubuntu's package of themes by doing: sudo aptitude install kde-kdm-themes | 01:30 |
| sp0ro | andguent: hehe, if you ever do, make sure to post it on the ubuntu forums. I'm a frequent reader around there. I have my own home setup and wouldn't mind messing around with new things :) | 01:30 |
| ingo__ | can someone help me please? | 01:30 |
| SisyphusINC | i think ill use the non command line route | 01:30 |
| Megaqwerty | kust3mz: the latter just being since you're looking for new ones ;) | 01:30 |
| andguent | drascus321: mine does the same, i just updated to latest ati proprietary drivers and was fiddling with acpi hibernate settings...... no clue though | 01:31 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: 80 | 01:31 |
| grizlo42 | HTTP | 01:31 |
| grizlo42 | Stealth There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address! | 01:31 |
| andguent | sp0ro: if i post it, it will probably go to the ubuntu wiki | 01:31 |
| albyyx | kholerabbi i've read something about the broadcom chips and ubuntu but probably the guys here will be able to tell you more, i'm just a mess for this... i can try to find you the link i've been given for it, but i don't know how good may that be | 01:31 |
| grizlo42 | that should show there is a port | 01:31 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: are you still around? | 01:31 |
| albyyx | hence, i better shut it | 01:31 |
| drascus321 | yeah I have a Zareason which is supposedly desiged for ubuntu so I don't know why | 01:31 |
| === Itaku is now known as Itaku-Sleep | ||
| sp0ro | andguent: Sounds good | 01:32 |
| andguent | grizlo42: i assume you were expecting the port to be open? what is your network config? basic home router, and an ubuntu server in the internal lan? | 01:32 |
| c0da | hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? | 01:32 |
| ingo__ | please help: since yesterday i can't install out of my repositories.

| lastelement0 | hey all, i tried to install diablo II in cedega and i have no clue what i need to do. i put in the install disc and clicked install in cedega, then detect disc. it loaded setup.exe and when i hit continue a diablo II folder is created, what do i do now? | 01:35 |
| Gatton | ingo__, does it only affect apt? does web browsing work ok? | 01:35 |
| maccam94 | lastelement0: /join #cedega | 01:35 |
| Megaqwerty | ingo__: do you have a proxy? | 01:35 |
| ingo__ | <andguent>: no nothing - just the standard-repos and some 3rd-party-stuff. no local thinks ... | 01:35 |

| andguent | grizlo42: ok, that should be fine, i assume while on the internal lan, other computers can see the apache pages? -- also keep in mind that it can be a security breach if you don't have apache configured correctly | 01:35 |
| zman_ | Fresh Ubuntu 7.10 install on my Toshiba Satellite laptop ... I'm missing /dev/hdc. How can I get ahold of /dev/hdc? | 01:36 |

| Megaqwerty | ingo__: could you pastebin ifconfig for me? | 01:36 |
| andguent | ingo: try doing 'sudo apt-get remove gstm' and/or 'sudo apt-get install -f' and see if that fixes it | 01:36 |
| ingo__ | <Gatton>: yes - html, mail, im is ok ... | 01:36 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: um, yes, and i assume apache is configured correctly, how do i check that? | 01:37 |
| ingo__ | <Megaqwerty>: sorry - how can i paste it - i don't want to paste in this communication chat | 01:38 |
| Megaqwerty | !pastebin | ingo__ | 01:38 |
| ubotu | ingo__: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 01:38 |
| Megaqwerty | ingo__: and thank you for your consideration | 01:38 |
| andguent | grizlo42: got me -- apache is one big beast to get done right and have it ready for public internet, every interpreter (like php, perl) needs to be done right too, i don't pretend to know how to do this, i just know enough not to trust it :) | 01:38 |
| lastelement0 | hey all, i tried to install diablo II in cedega and i have no clue what i need to do. i put in the install disc and clicked install in cedega, then detect disc. it loaded setup.exe and when i hit continue a diablo II folder is created, what do i do now? | 01:39 |

| maccam94 | kholerabbi: what networking card? | 01:40 |

| kholerabbi | maccam94: sorry :) I'm just checking | 01:41 |
| kholerabbi | apoligese | 01:41 |
| maccam94 | haha ok | 01:41 |
| lastelement0 | andguent: im not sure to be honest. a folder seems to have appeared in the cedega window | 01:41 |
| andguent | grizlo42: if you are really sure you want to open port 80, you need to configure the port forwarding on your router, what model is that? | 01:41 |
| david_ | HELP! i have an extra sound card that ubuntu didnt install by itself....its a creative live board and im not sure how to install it......HELP! | 01:42 |

| maccam94 | foxray: a new audio subsystem to replace ESD | 01:42 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: i already have it in portforwarding | 01:42 |
| ingo__ | <Megaqwerty>: what do you want to know in ifconfig? | 01:42 |
| maccam94 | foxray: alsa is a different layer in how sound output works | 01:42 |
| Megaqwerty | ingo__: if anything besides 'lo' is listed | 01:43 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: HTTP 80 80 192.168.1.5 | 01:43 |
| andguent | lastelement0: i had to continually retry until it finally took, but starcraft installer displayed like normal | 01:43 |

| maccam94 | idk what | 01:43 |
| Megaqwerty | ingo__: somehow your system is trying to connect to localhost...Are you sure you've deconfigured tor? | 01:43 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Sorry, was washing dishes | 01:44 |
| andguent | grizlo42: good ok, i didn't realize you already had that, i'm assuming you don't have any firewalling setup on the apache box? | 01:44 |
| foxray | maccam94: i dunno the other gnome stuff looks promising too | 01:44 |
| Megaqwerty | ingo__: if I remember correctly, you have to connect to yourself or "localhost" when you route through tor. | 01:44 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: ah, that's alright, by all means continue. | 01:44 |
| ingo__ | <Megaqwerty>: i will check it @ the moment .. | 01:44 |

| Megaqwerty | riot__: yes | 01:56 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, how? :D | 01:56 |
| damaltor | Devourer: yes. put it in, DONT mount it, and type mkdosfs /dev/[device] | 01:56 |
| kholerabbi | olskolirc: might want to try #ubuntu-offtopic or another channel, as that is not really directly ubuntu stuff | 01:56 |
| Y-Town | when viewing mail in thunderbird, evolution or kmail it doesnt show the images.. what can I do to enable the graphics and images? | 01:56 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: if not, we can just redownload it. | 01:56 |
| Devourer | damaltor, will that make it FAT32? | 01:56 |
| olskolirc | ok | 01:56 |
| damaltor | Devourer: think fat16 | 01:56 |
| Devourer | damaltor, is that standard? | 01:57 |
| olskolirc | zulerdongle, try lsusb | 01:57 |
| potato | why do i get this error? Error "Not on the same file system" while deleting "/media/disk...n/Examples". | 01:57 |
| Orynet | Starnestommy:Y-Town:I do know that it's suppose to boot without a login requirement, but things go weird.... during my 2nd bootup, ubuntu is complaining that my GNOME is having problem, and cannot lock .ICEAuthority, so it blocks me from getting into desktop...

| Alan_M | fat 16 is standard for all usb flash drives, correct. | 01:57 |
| hacked_kernel | How to disable directory browsing in apache? | 01:57 |
| kholerabbi | olskolirc: then again, you can always come back here and keep trying :P | 01:57 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, alright. | 01:57 |
| damaltor | Devourer: i think so, yes. you ought to try, if it doenst work in your camera/mp3 player/... you can do fat32 manually. but fat16 is standard | 01:57 |
| kestir | hacked_kernel: check the apache manual | 01:57 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Yeah it's there | 01:57 |
| kestir | join #apache | 01:57 |
| Devourer | damaltor, thanks. | 01:57 |
| Xcerca | hey guys, i did aptitude install xubuntu-desktop to check out xfce, i don't like it so much and am trying to remove it, i tried aptitude remove xubuntu-desktop and that worked... but all of it's dependencies are still there, i tried aptitude remove xubuntu-* but that didn't work, and other aptitude advice ? | 01:57 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: put an index.htm into the folder =) | 01:58 |
| Megaqwerty | cool. I need you to open up a terminal and navigate to that folder (I assume you know how to do this?) | 01:58 |
| Alan_M | Every flash drive i have ever encountered was devourer :) | 01:58 |
| damaltor | Xcerca: sudo apt-get autoremove | 01:58 |
| kestir | Xcerca: read the output of apt-get to see how to remove packages that are no longer needed | 01:58 |
| Alan_M | Devourer, and thats close to 300+ heh | 01:58 |

| Devourer | Alan_M, wow. | 01:59 |
| Y-Town | Orynet: You are running from the CD correct? | 01:59 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: I am not understanding? | 01:59 |
| Alan_M | I have my whole pc backed up on one devourer ;) | 01:59 |
| andguent | grizlo42: telnet working? a web browser running internally, and pointed to that IP should be an accurate test too | 01:59 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: if there is an index.htm in the folder, it will be displayed instead of the folder itself. so make a file named "index.htm" and put it into the directory | 01:59 |
| Alan_M | Is there anything else we can help you with Devourer? | 01:59 |
| Orynet | Y-Town: nope running persistant ubuntu on USB Harddisk | 01:59 |

| david_ | HELP! i have an extra sound card that ubuntu didnt install by itself....its a creative live board and im not sure how to install it......HELP! | 02:00 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: sure, but what is this about, is it something to do with my wired connection not working? | 02:00 |
| Alan_M | if you do, you get a whole bunch of errors. | 02:00 |
| andguent | grizlo42: congratz, now what I would highly recommend is to turn it off when you aren't using it, just for safety sake :) | 02:00 |
| sweffymo | can you read me? | 02:01 |
| set_out | asdf | 02:01 |
| LjL | no | 02:01 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: no i dont think so. if apache displays a folder, it doesnt have anything elso to display. thats all. | 02:01 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: it still shows up as stealth.........but the telnet worked | 02:01 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, well, when I put it in Ubuntu automatically formats it. | 02:01 |
| * Alan_M shrugs, i dunno..i just plug em in, they work, im happy. | 02:02 | |
| grizlo42 | andguent: it works now, thank you | 02:02 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: hmmm.. right. interesting .. but I haven't been talking about apache, maybe it was someone else :p | 02:02 |
| zulerdongle | Hello I seem to be having a problem with an external lg multidrive (Dvd drive). When I connect it through usb in ubuntu, it doesnt appear in my "Computer". what could the problem, be? is there anyway i can see if its detected but not mounted? THanks | 02:02 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, :( | 02:02 |
| polishpaul | i have a laptop and connected an external monitor to it. How can i tell ubuntu to output on the external monitor? | 02:02 |
| andguent | grizlo42: hmm, does it work from outside too? did you want that? if grc shows stealth, then you are fine for security | 02:02 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: oh, sorry. must have been a mistake... so what was ypur problem then? ;) | 02:02 |
| Megaqwerty | Washing dishes again Sindacious? ;) | 02:02 |
| andguent | grizlo42: if you only wanted to access it internally, you can turn the port forwarding off on the router | 02:02 |
| Alan_M | Is it formatting it every time devourer? | 02:02 |
| riot__ | does anyone know a command to reverse lookup an ip address on a small network and resolve a computer name? | 02:02 |
| polishpaul | riot__: ping -a i believe | 02:03 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, no, it's mounting it. So when I unmount how do I know it's name? | 02:03 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: haha nah, I'm having a problem with 7.10 not working with my wired internet connection (it just says it's connected but I can't us it) :( | 02:03 |
| grizlo42 | andguentL it works from outside i think too, like i typed my ip address and i showed the page | 02:03 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: lol sorry netadmins IRC on another server is glitching and he's flooding for an unknown reason, and were trying to contain it | 02:03 |
| damaltor | Alan_M, Devourer: i think you mean "mount automatically", not "format automatically", no? | 02:03 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: it works from outside i think too, like i typed my ip address and i showed the page | 02:03 |
| polishpaul | wait.. it may be different with linux | 02:03 |
| kestir | riot__: #networking | 02:03 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: ah, no problem | 02:03 |
| Devourer | damaltor, correct. | 02:03 |
| ingo__ | <Megaqwerty>: back. the sources.list is not the problem and i disabled tor-module with "sudo rcconf" - but apt still tries to connect 127.0.0.1 as the case may be localhost. | 02:03 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: type "route" and pastebin it, please | 02:03 |
| Alan_M | damaltor, im starting to think he's meaning that as well the more he talks :) | 02:03 |
| Starnestommy | riot__: resolveip? | 02:03 |
| mneptok | riot__: nslookup | 02:04 |
| Devourer | damaltor, I was thinking that in my head. | 02:04 |
| Alan_M | because format every time...would be a HUGE issue damaltor | 02:04 |
| riot__ | thanks gusy | 02:04 |
| damaltor | ooh... YES. | 02:04 |
| riot__ | guys | 02:04 |
| damaltor | hello, can anybody tell me what the following means if i want to use the parallel port? ioctl(/dev/lp0, PPCLAIM) failed: 22 Invalid argument | 02:04 |
| andguent | grizlo42: just turn that port forwarding off whenever possible, enjoy your apache tinkering :) | 02:04 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Anyway, the uncompressed is on my hd | 02:04 |
| Devourer | FloodBot1, is silly. | 02:04 |
| Megaqwerty | ingo__: huh. No idea then. Sorry. | 02:04 |
| Alan_M | FloodBot1, is a very helpful bot. | 02:05 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: won't help, I'm not using 7.10 at the mo' | 02:05 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, so how do I keep it from mounting automatically? | 02:05 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: cool. I need you to open up a terminal and navigate to that folder (I assume you know how to do this?) | 02:05 |
| david_ | HELP! i have an extra sound card that ubuntu didnt install by itself....its a creative live board and im not sure how to install it......HELP! | 02:05 |
| ingo__ | <Megaqwerty>: thx | 02:05 |
| damaltor | oh. so where do you see that it is connected? | 02:05 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: oh. so where do you see that it is connected? | 02:05 |
| Alan_M | Devourer, im not sure of that answer. | 02:05 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Yes | 02:05 |
| grizlo42 | andguent: thanks, im actually only using it for a few days, then i will turn it off, probably permanately | 02:05 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: excellent. Now that you're there, run sudo make uninstall | 02:06 |
| Frederick | folks any news concerning netbeans being broken on AMD64? | 02:06 |
| c0da | hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? | 02:06 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, well, when I unmount it how am I supposed to find the name under /dev? | 02:06 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: well heres the story: I put in the 7.10 livecd, it says it connecting at the icon in the tray, then it is connected, but still not working in firefox or anything else - | 02:06 |
| Alan_M | it should be something like /dev/sdb1 or something similar. | 02:06 |
| mneptok | Devourer: use "df -h" when it's mounted to learn its /dev entry | 02:06 |
| Alan_M | but, df -h will tell you for certain what it is. | 02:07 |
| Devourer | mneptok, neato. | 02:07 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: works fine in feisty | 02:07 |
| Alan_M | Devourer, type that in terminal. | 02:07 |
| damaltor | kholerabbi: nice. =) sometimes it helps, if you kill that nasty tray icon (didnt work for me either) and then type "dhclient eth0" on console. | 02:07 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: NOTE: Not all installed files are removed, as different distributions install ndiswrapper files at different places. | 02:07 |
| silas428 | how do i find my source tree? | 02:07 |
| ingo__ | so ... my problem is that i can't install out of my gutsy- repositories, because apt tries to connect localhost -->Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/Release.gpg Could not connect to localhost:4001 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused) | 02:07 |
| ingo__ | anyone a idea??? | 02:07 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: really and that works? | 02:07 |
| Alan_M | I just learned the df -h trick today mneptok, gimme a few days and that ones gonna be implanted in my head :) | 02:08 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: yes, it does indeed say that. It then states that you just have to run it multiple times so it works (not sure why it works like that though) | 02:08 |
| === CR_cwek_Toket_Gd is now known as coJKT_Maniac_SU2 | ||
| === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 | ||
| damaltor | kholerabbi: well, it worked for me, and the tray icon didnt. so it is worth a try while you cannot brake anything in a live distro =) | 02:08 |
| Devourer | damaltor, it spit this out at me. :( mkdosfs: Will not try to make filesystem on full-disk device '/dev/sdf' (use -I if wanted) | 02:08 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: How would I know if it's off :P ? | 02:08 |
| kholerabbi | damaltor: haha true I have to go and I will try it cheers mate :) | 02:08 |

| Devourer | damaltor, it worked. :D | 02:12 |
| Alan_M | !sound | quakky_ | 02:12 |

| rnartos | !landscape | 02:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about landscape - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:12 |
| Devourer | damaltor, I didn't want anything to blow upl | 02:12 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul>: i am not registered @ the moment ... | 02:13 |
| mneptok | rnartos: what do you want to know about Landscape? | 02:13 |
| Frederick | folks I have aproblem with slocate slocate: fatal error: Could not find user database | 02:13 |
| damaltor | Devourer: but would have been funny too... | 02:13 |
| quakky_ | The problem originated when i was trying to fix my video i think | 02:13 |
| mneptok | Frederick: sudo updatedb | 02:13 |
| Alan_M | Devourer, we wouldnt tell you stuff that would blow your system up, maybe a little smoke while its churning code but nothing blows up :) | 02:13 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: excellent. It should be removed...let me just double check anything you did on the guide | 02:13 |
| rnartos | mneptok: is it worthy? or almost same as webmin | 02:13 |
| Frederick | mneptok: same problem | 02:13 |
| Devourer | :o | 02:13 |
| Alan_M | Just kidding devourer :) | 02:14 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: can't get PMs? anyway, do you have network connectivity on the box? | 02:14 |
| grizlo42 | php! | 02:14 |
| mneptok | rnartos: it's not at all like Webmin. and it's only available to selected beta testers | 02:14 |
| grizlo42 | !php | 02:14 |
| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP.

For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 02:14 |
| Frederick | sudo slocate libmawt gives the same error | 02:14 |
| mneptok | Frederick: sudo updatedb | 02:14 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: How far in the guide did you get? | 02:14 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul> yes. email, im, chat, html - no problem | 02:14 |
| rnartos | mneptok: but as they describe it's a systemAdmn tool / web-based for ubuntu servers | 02:14 |
| mneptok | Frederick: that will not give a "database not found" error, as that is the command to create the (s)locate db | 02:14 |
| edju | join #kubuntu | 02:15 |
| Karsyth | can anyone help me figure out why my sound isnt working in wolfenstein enemy territory? | 02:15 |
| Frederick | mneptok: seems the database was created | 02:15 |
| Frederick | whcich sould be the normal ownsershup to /usr/bin/slocate? | 02:15 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul>: i don't know why apt tries to connect localhost - my sources.list is ok - no local entry | 02:15 |
| oboy03 | how do i bring back the shutdown icon in quit icon? | 02:15 |
| mneptok | rnartos: it's a monitoring tool. it allows for some system work. but it's not meant to replace sysadmin knowledge. | 02:15 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul>: i kicked the tor-module by rcconf - doesn't help ... | 02:15 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: To where I was _looking_ for the driver, however I did run two commands that sYn_0n3 had mentioned | 02:15 |
| Devourer | Alan_M, I give up on what I'm trying to do with the USB thingy... I tried burning GParted to a CD but it would spin a bit and then the drive would just beep at me... :( | 02:15 |
| angusb | Can you install a different desktop environment like KDE onto ubuntu? or would that pretty much just be xubuntu? | 02:16 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: what were they? | 02:16 |
| rnartos | mneptok: oh a monitoring tool...ok I'll try it then | 02:16 |

| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: check /etc/modules and make sure that ndiswrapper isn't listed there. | 02:17 |
| cataldus3d | plz | 02:18 |
| Birkoff | Yo guys ... can anyone help me out with IPTABLES here ? | 02:18 |
| c0da | hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? | 02:18 |

| cataldus3d | i cant get enable glx effects in ubuntu | 02:18 |
| Frederick | seems I dont have libmawt.so how can I get it? | 02:18 |
| FFEMTcJ | Can a usb disconnect cause a reboot of ubuntu? | 02:18 |
| cataldus3d | i tried, restricted drivers and envy, and apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 02:19 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: can't find a modules folder | 02:19 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: as long as ndiswrapper isn't listed, you're fine. If it is, just open it as root "sudo nano /etc/modules" and delete it from the file. Just reboot, then you're all set! | 02:19 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: are you trying via package manager in the GUI or via terminal (apt-get)? | 02:19 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: it's a file, not a folder | 02:19 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: I have to reboot my router, brb in like 5 mins. | 02:20 |
| Birkoff | Does anyone know or a easy way to limit incoming/outgoing tcp/upd traffic via IPTABLES ? | 02:20 |
| oboy03 | i can shutdown my laptop because the shutdown icon was gone how do i restore it? | 02:20 |
| ingo__ | polishpaul: both - of course, the same problem ... what is the module festival? | 02:20 |
| oboy03 | i cant* | 02:20 |
| mneptok | oboy03: try the "System" menu | 02:21 |
| oboy03 | then? | 02:21 |
| mneptok | oboy03: i dunno. maybe that big "QUIT" icon? | 02:21 |
| oboy03 | the quit is there but no shutdown option | 02:22 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: sorry about that. Back | 02:22 |
| oboy03 | it was there a while ago then poof | 02:22 |
| oboy03 | gone | 02:22 |
| mneptok | oboy03: you might try clicking it, just to see what it does. | 02:22 |
| oboy03 | no shutdown option | 02:22 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: so, did you check the file? | 02:22 |
| mneptok | oboy03: yes, there is. | 02:23 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: ok, and I checked the file, it's nothing about ndiswrapper | 02:23 |
| c0da | hey, i'm using this webcam program and it's asking me to input the serial port of the webcam. lsusb gives me : "Bus 003 Device 003: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000". what is ther serial port? | 02:23 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: excellent. Then you're clena | 02:23 |
| Megaqwerty | *clean | 02:23 |
| mneptok | oboy03: the shutdown option is in the quit panel as always | 02:23 |
| sp0ro | Does anyone know the command I would run to open port 3389 on IPTables allowing any IP address to connect through it? Most of the guides I have read haven't really specified anything close to what I need to do. | 02:23 |
| oboy03 | no its not | 02:23 |
| oboy03 | :( | 02:24 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Okay, thanks a lot for your help ^^, one more question though, is there a place were you can look at Wireless networks in the area? | 02:24 |
| david_ | Alan_M, i know that and i am aware of the great service the people here are doing to us...but im just hopeless cuz ive been trying to get this working for a while now and im just getting frustrated.... | 02:24 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: what happens when you apt-get update ? | 02:24 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: that would be left clicking the Network-Manager-Applet and looking at the list | 02:24 |
| Karsyth | very stupid question, but i just CANNOT rememer the commands for installing a downloaded zip file? | 02:24 |
| Karsyth | i wasn wondering if anyone could refresh me | 02:24 |
| mneptok | sp0ro: did you ever *close* 3389? | 02:24 |
| basti | unzip? | 02:25 |
| Karsyth | there are files inside it | 02:25 |
| Karsyth | just folders... | 02:25 |
| basti | configure make make install? | 02:25 |
| Karsyth | ./configure ? | 02:25 |
| mneptok | Karsyth: "installing" a zip file? or extracting it? | 02:25 |
| damaltor | anybody ever worked with lcd4linux? PLEASE... | 02:25 |
| Karsyth | installing | 02:25 |
| Ttech | I found a kill command in Ubuntu. >< | 02:25 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Is that only possible if there are wireless networks in the area? I can't see a list selections :/ | 02:25 |
| sYn_0n3 | sindacious: have you heard of wicd | 02:25 |
| andguent | sp0ro: iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 3389 -j ACCEPT | 02:26 |
| sp0ro | mneptok: No, but when I added port 3389 to the list of SSH ports to use on a server, it won't allow me to connect even when the router is configured to allow it. So I figured it was something set in IPTables no allowing permission to connect from an outside host to the server via SSH through port 3389 | 02:26 |
| mneptok | Karsyth: what is this zip file? | 02:26 |
| Ttech | PRess Controll+ alt + shipt + something else = restart | 02:26 |
| Ttech | >< | 02:26 |
| warriorforgod | Where does gnome store themes? | 02:26 |
| Karsyth | i keep trying to CD to the directory where it is and ./configuring it, but it says no directory found | 02:26 |
| Karsyth | its the ETpatch | 02:26 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul> the same problem - it tries to connect to localhost. i installed some stuff && yet try to disable some modules, which may link apt to 127.0.0.1 | 02:26 |
| Sindacious | sYn_0n3: Yeah, but last time I put it on it didn't work | 02:26 |
| Birkoff | Anyone can help me with limiting outgoind/incoming traffic on iptables ? | 02:26 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: yes, it would show networks in the area. For example, in the beginning, you saw the network "test" | 02:26 |
| mneptok | sp0ro: iptables has no restrictions by default | 02:26 |
| sYn_0n3 | sindacious are you using encrytion? | 02:26 |
| jals | i used set compiz-fusion to use ctrl + left/right to move to different desktops then i realised that this conflicted with the function of control when navigating around text, where are the settings to change this back? | 02:26 |
| mneptok | sp0ro: check your /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 02:26 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: Okay, thanks then :) | 02:26 |
| Sindacious | sYn_0n3: I wouldn't know :/ | 02:26 |
| Turno | my machine is having trouble pulling an ip from my router... it did this before and I don't remember how i solved it... its using the 'tulip' driver... anyone have any idea? | 02:26 |
| HorizonXP | hey, what package do I install in Gutsy AMD64 to get the latest version of Sun's Java? I don't care about the plugin, I need to run programs seperately from Firefox. | 02:27 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul> is there a possibility to restart the modules without rebooting? | 02:27 |
| mneptok | sp0ro: and restart the sshd daemon after any changes to the configs | 02:27 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: np | 02:27 |
| Karsyth | mneptok, enemy territory 2.60b patch | 02:27 |
| sp0ro | andguent: Thanks, I'll try that. mneptok: I added 3389 underneath "Port 22" in sshd_config, so I'm not sure what would be causing it. :/ | 02:27 |
| mneptok | sp0ro: the daemon can listen only on one port. pick one. | 02:27 |
| andguent | HorizonXP: search for jre or jdk in your favorite package manager | 02:27 |
| sYn_0n3 | sindacious.. so your just trying to scan? | 02:27 |
| sfears | ingo__, rmmod modulename & modprobe modulename ? | 02:28 |
| sYn_0n3 | lsusb or lspci where is your wireless card | 02:28 |
| andguent | mneptok: I would respectfully dissagree, sshd can handle multiple port directives in its sshd_config | 02:28 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: which modules? Try checking your proxy settings, also, 'cat /etc/hosts' and check for anything funny (see https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/6719) | 02:28 |
| Sindacious | sYn_0n3: Me ? | 02:28 |
| ingo__ | <sfears>: no i just want to restart the boot modules | 02:28 |
| sYn_0n3 | sindacious: yes | 02:28 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: also cat /etc/resolf.conf | 02:28 |
| mneptok | andguent: but it's non-trivial, and trhe first thing to eliminate to fix connectivity issues. | 02:29 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: you could also try iwlist wlan0 scan | 02:29 |
| sp0ro | mneptok, andguent: LOL, I feel so stupid. All it was, was I forgot to restart SSH. Big operator error there. ;) | 02:29 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: do you have anon-proxy installed? | 02:29 |
| polishpaul | some forums point to that as the problem | 02:30 |
| andguent | sp0ro: netstat -ntlp is your friend :) | 02:30 |
| Sindacious | Megaqwerty: In terminal? | 02:30 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: yeah | 02:30 |
| mneptok | sp0ro: you should usually put multi-port directives on individual lines | 02:30 |
| Sindacious | sYn_0n3: 06:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02) <--That? | 02:30 |

| ingo__ | <polishpaul>: yes, but not cognizant - what does anon-proxy make - is it in use with tor? | 02:31 |
| Megaqwerty | Sindacious: ah, well sorry I can't help further at this point as I must depart. I'd recommend trying to get kismet as well, "the king of wireless scanners" sudo apt-get install kismet. It's launched by sudo kismet -i wlan0. Good luck! | 02:31 |
| Karsyth | how do i install .zip files? whenever i try to ./configure it says there is no such file or directory, and ive triple checked and im not typing anything wrong | 02:32 |

| Karsyth | amenado, how should i do it then? | 02:33 |

| Sindacious | sYn_0n3: The default? I'm fairly new to linux | 02:33 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: not familiar with anon-proxy, try removing that and see how it goes | 02:34 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul>: my system/prefs/network-proxy says, that i am directly connected with internet | 02:34 |
| sYn_0n3 | sindacious: so you are using gnome network manager | 02:34 |
| polishpaul | ok good, try removing the package (check for other proxy packages) | 02:34 |
| sYn_0n3 | sindacious: i uninstalled it and used wicd | 02:34 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul> ok - i will try it - brb | 02:34 |

| jrib | eshaase: with official repositories, yes | 03:00 |
| xtknight | splicer, try typing "sudo apt-get update" in the terminal and see where it's hanging | 03:00 |
| cwillu_ | eshaase, it's recommended (presuming you're not doing anything fancy with backports or unreleased versions of ubuntu | 03:00 |
| baalsgate | ANY ONE TELL ME WHAT SETS DAEMONS TO START ? | 03:00 |

| lwizardl | Hi | 03:01 |
| orudie | bazhang: there? | 03:01 |
| sfears | hello lwizardl | 03:01 |
| xtknight | Karsyth, you need to run et differently, i think. you need to start it from the working directory | 03:01 |
| NAM | anybody help me? got probs heh heh | 03:01 |
| jrib | !caps | baalsgate | 03:01 |
| ubotu | baalsgate: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 03:01 |
| xtknight | Karsyth, like cd /usr/share/games/et then ./et, or something | 03:01 |
| jals | help, how do i get back ctrl functionality so it moves the cursor one word when used with left/right arrow | 03:01 |
| orudie | jrib: really stuck here with C-a c | 03:01 |

| bazhang | orudie: hi! | 03:01 |
| lwizardl | where does ubuntu keep the USB image for icons on the default theme? | 03:02 |
| xtknight | Karsyth, actually there is supposed to be a script called "et" somewhere that does it all for you | 03:02 |
| Gatton | robilive, i assume you might be able to boot with a live cd, mount your ubuntu file system and then change the permissions that way. but i'm not sure how you'd go about doing it sorry :-( | 03:02 |
| Karsyth | ok | 03:02 |
| jrib | orudie: press ctrl and the "a" button on your keyboard at the same time. Then release. Then press the "c" button | 03:02 |
| Karsyth | xtknight, any idea on where to find it? | 03:02 |
| orudie | jrib: oooooh lol ok it worked | 03:02 |
| robilive | Gatton, if is possible to make it in this mode I "have the power" :P | 03:02 |
| splicer | Oddly, the ´apt-get update´ worked without errors, but the gui will hang until I kill it ... days if I let it. | 03:02 |
| xtknight | splicer, odd | 03:03 |
| xtknight | Karsyth, no but here's the contents of my et script | 03:03 |

| TonyWong | sfears: I have tried your suggestion. After reconfigure the Xserver, I type startx but seems the old session (showing black screen ctrl-alt-f7) still exist. How do I kill the old session of x? | 03:04 |
| jrib | baalsgate: stop, no one will help you that way. | 03:04 |

| heogen | somebody may help me | 03:04 |
| baalsgate | jrib , no one is helping me anyways | 03:04 |
| NAM | is it connect #windows? | 03:04 |
| robilive | polishpaul, how do you mean with "can single-user the box"? | 03:04 |

| Arsiesys | Hello | 03:05 |
| baalsgate | jrib, yea i have tried that before and after a few hours of beeing ignored kinda over it ya know | 03:05 |
| sfears | ctrl+alt to log out when in the non existant f7 gui.. that will restart the xserver & ask you to log in again TonyWong | 03:05 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul> thank you for your help! my problem, that apt whould connect to localhost is solved. i disabled anon-proxy and privoxy modules and removed the programm completly. i installed it during my tests with security-software like tor ... | 03:05 |
| jrib | orudie: ctrl-a k also ctrl-a ? gets you cheat sheet | 03:06 |
| polishpaul | robilive: while booting, the grub menu should show you a selection of OS's to boot into. I believe if you hit E for edit, you can add parameters. (single or something like /bin/bash) which will let you in the box without authentication | 03:06 |
| sfears | tonywong.. ctrl+alt+backspace | 03:06 |
| jrib | baalsgate: do you have a question? | 03:06 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: awesome! yw | 03:06 |
| heogen | hi somebody can help me please | 03:06 |
| quakky_ | guys when i do the aplay -l command, it doesnt show my soundcard..... I can tell u that sound used to work, but for some reason it isnt working anymore | 03:06 |
| Y-Town | I notice in Firefox that many websites I visit dont look as good as they do in Internet Explorer...What can be done to make websites look better? | 03:06 |
| heogen | I have this problem E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 03:06 |
| Gatton | polishpaul, can you also do something like init 1 at a terminal to get to single user mode? | 03:07 |
| baalsgate | jrib, finding it hard to find the documentation to get the equivilant of chkconfig to start NTP | 03:07 |
| xtknight | heogen, your update manager or synaptic is open | 03:07 |
| jrib | heogen: what were you trying to do? | 03:07 |
| xtknight | heogen, you can not have two programs using the software package system at once | 03:07 |
| polishpaul | robilive: can you wait here for a minute while i test it out so i can give you exact instructions? | 03:07 |
| KNY | quick question: any idea when 7.10 will be getting gnome 2.22? | 03:07 |
| polishpaul | Gatton: that's a good idea... | 03:07 |
| heogen | ok | 03:07 |
| TonyWong | trying... | 03:07 |
| [Neurotic] | Heya, I have a USB headset pluged in, how can I work out what /dev point it hooks up to? | 03:07 |
| robilive | ok polishpaul ... then I have to edit the line in GRUB with a /bon/bash at the end? | 03:07 |
| xtknight | [Neurotic], well it should be detected by alsa. is it? | 03:07 |
| heogen | jrib when a trying to install a program | 03:07 |
| jrib | heogen: tell me the exact command | 03:08 |
| robilive | polishpaul, if is possible, tank you so much :D | 03:08 |
| polishpaul | robilive: yeah, something like that.. let me double check for you. | 03:08 |
| TonyWong | What is the default login password for root of Ubuntu LiveCD 7.10? | 03:08 |
| sfears | [Neurotic], lsusb? | 03:08 |
| xtknight | [Neurotic], at least as far as i know. usb/pci shouldnt matter. it should appear to alsa | 03:08 |
| robilive | tnak you polishpaul :D | 03:08 |
| heogen | jrib show dont let me do it | 03:08 |
| polishpaul | you would then just use 'passwd' to change root's pass.. one moment plz | 03:08 |
| TonyWong | Oh, it logs in by itself.... | 03:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !root | 03:08 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 03:08 |
| heogen | dpkg | 03:08 |
| heogen | jrib dpkg | 03:08 |
| kestir | heogen: you can't have two open at the same time | 03:08 |
| jrib | baalsgate: you installed the ntp package? | 03:08 |
| kestir | heogen: just told you | 03:08 |
| sfears | holy deep ubotu | 03:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !noroot | 03:08 |
| ubotu | We don't support a root password so don't suggest one unless you are going to be here 24/7 to help someone who has problems as a result of having one, many thanks ;-) | 03:08 |
| heogen | kestir no | 03:08 |
| [Neurotic] | xtknight, it is, but I have some code that is recording on /dev/dsp and I need to change it so it records through the right /dev point | 03:08 |
| baalsgate | jrib, just want to set NTP service to start at startup , yes NTP is installed | 03:08 |
| [Neurotic] | it does show up on Alsa, yes | 03:08 |
| jrib | heogen: yes of course "dpkg" doesn't do anything. It will throw errors. | 03:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | polishpaul, Please dont suggest that | 03:08 |
| Y-Town | I notice in Firefox that many websites I visit dont look as good as they do in Internet Explorer...What can be done to make websites look better? | 03:09 |
| xtknight | [Neurotic], hmm maybe theres a /dev/dsp1 or something. ls /dev/dsp* | 03:09 |
| heogen | jrib yeah | 03:09 |
| ingo__ | <polishpaul> yw? - what does it mean? ^^ | 03:09 |
| Xcerca | is there any tool that i can use to adjust the size and orientation of my display with a gui ? | 03:09 |
| jrib | baalsgate: iirc, all you need to do is install the ntp package. It will set itself up. Have you found that not to be the case? | 03:09 |
| xtknight | [Neurotic], or perhaps you can set /dev/dsp to the proper device, elsewhere? | 03:09 |
| jrib | heogen: what are you trying to install? | 03:09 |
| TonyWong | Login already, but it is not 1024x768 resolution....800x600? or 640x480 I think.... | 03:09 |
| heogen | jrib and the system say me lock it | 03:09 |
| polishpaul | Jack_Sparrow: suggest single user? why not? he does not have a root password | 03:09 |
| sfears | Xcerca, if your using nvidia drivers nvidia-settings | 03:09 |
| jals | help, how do i get back ctrl functionality so it moves the cursor one word when used with left/right arrow | 03:09 |
| xtknight | yw = you're welcome | 03:09 |
| [Neurotic] | xtknight, there is a /dev/dsp1 maybe that is it, I tried that, didn't seem to work. Hmnn.. good point about moving the devide, I will give that a shot | 03:09 |
| polishpaul | ingo__: yw = you're welcome | 03:09 |
| heogen | jrib jsut update | 03:10 |
| heogen | the new program | 03:10 |
| heogen | jrib | 03:10 |
| jrib | heogen: you want 'sudo apt-get update' | 03:10 |
| xtknight | [Neurotic], well i mean like in sound properties it says use this device for recording, use that, etc.. it might be saying "/dev/dsp is this device" | 03:10 |
| polishpaul | Gatton: i just relized.. init 1 may not work if he's not root? | 03:10 |
| ingo__ | ah, i see. :-) | 03:10 |
| |2-bits| | Y-Town: I don't think there is much you can do. Most of that has to do with bad web page design that causes rendering errors on standards-compliant browsers... | 03:10 |
| [Neurotic] | xtknight, I'm trying to get skype-rec to work on my setup (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SkypeRecordingHowto) | 03:10 |
| jrib | heogen: and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' afterwards | 03:10 |
| jrib | !apt > heogen (read the private message from ubotu) | 03:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | polishpaul, Better to see what he want to do...that he needs root | 03:10 |
| xtknight | [Neurotic], does skype have options for selecting the device | 03:11 |
| Y-Town | |2-bits|: daqrn... | 03:11 |
| Xcerca | sfears yea i have that set up, but the panels stick way off the edge of the screen | 03:11 |

| polishpaul | Jack_Sparrow: ok, i just saw that someone didn't have their root pass so i suggested single usering and setting root. I don't see any harm in that. | 03:12 |
| [Neurotic] | xtknight, yes it does.. I'm going to try setting them all to default.. so in theory it goes through /edv/dsp and see if that works | 03:12 |
| [Neurotic] | xtknight, thanks | 03:12 |
| sfears | sounds like your resolution is bigger than your screen size or your using dual monitors you have one screen dragged ontop of the other Xcerca | 03:12 |

| baalsgate | jrib , NTP is installed can run it manualy with sudo /etc/init.d/ntp start | 03:15 |

| jrib | Jack_Sparrow: no idea | 03:16 |
| sfears | baddog144, did you download firefox source files? | 03:16 |
| jrib | baalsgate: read 'man update-rc.d' or use sysv-rc-conf to make sure it is set to run on runlevel 2 | 03:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | polishpaul, this is not up for debate in this rrom, feel free to discuss in -offtopic .. sudo or gksudo will do what they need | 03:16 |

| khyle | where bro | 03:20 |
| sfears | jals, have you changed the compiz setting back to something that's not ctrl+arrow? | 03:20 |

| thiebaude | im testing 8.04, jack | 03:21 |
| orudie | jrib: you said screen -r | 03:21 |
| sfears | just an idea.. if you changed the compiz setting from ctrl+arrow to a setting that was already used in compiz it may have then replaced that one with ctrl+arrow.. make sure there's no settings in compiz using that jals | 03:21 |
| Jack_Sparrow | thiebaude, You need to ask in #Ubuntu+1 | 03:21 |

| jrib | orudie: tell me | 03:22 |
| jals | i'll just try restarting x i guess | 03:22 |
| sfears | jals, disable compiz & see if they come back.. if they do then it's a compiz issue.. if they don't then it's something else.. | 03:22 |
| jals | how do i do that sfears? | 03:22 |

| iobelisk | hi guys, i have a pretty serious problem, i think. i was in the middle of a update (testy hardy alpha) and the update process showed an error because of missing dependencies. i had to manually restart the computer and now in normal boot mode the system sort of stalls (for loooooong) on 'staring system logs daemon', when i try recovery mode, it drops to bash, asks me for my username, i enter it, hit enter, and nothing, it fails. i restart a | 03:27 |
| amenado | chuy_max-> type shell --version i think this will tell you | 03:27 |
| jrib | orudie: screen -r 8924.pts-1.ubuntu | 03:27 |
| bruenig | iobelisk: this channel is for the current version of ubuntu | 03:27 |
| amenado | iobelisk-> go see #ubuntu+1 | 03:27 |
| chuy_max | amenado, command not found | 03:27 |
| |2-bits| | iobelisk: try ubuntu+1 | 03:27 |
| bruenig | chuy_max: replace "shell" withh whatever your shell is | 03:27 |
| bruenig | presumably bash | 03:27 |
| |2-bits| | * #ubuntu+1 | 03:28 |
| amenado | chuy_max-> yes but it would have responded with a shell you currently have, most likely bash:.. | 03:28 |
| iobelisk | bruenig, amenado, |2bits|, thanks | 03:28 |
| orudie | jrib: right, but how would i actually close putty without stopping the processes ? | 03:28 |

| chuy_max | bruenig, I have to know which shell I am currently using | 03:28 |
| jrib | orudie: just click the x, screen will keep running | 03:28 |
| bruenig | chuy_max: echo "$SHELL" | 03:28 |
| chuy_max | bruenig, that didn't work, suppose I use ksh, and do echo $SHELL, that gives me bash path | 03:29 |
| stevendemorez | i was wondering if anyone could give me a reason as to why particular processes folders show up in my loading of one kernel and not the other and as to how I could get these files to load up (I don't know why they didn't transfer over actually) | 03:29 |

| Y-Town | LogMeIn does not work on Linux, Does anyone know a remote login program for linux that works similar to LogMeIn? | 03:32 |

| pstv | Does anyone know a soundfont player for ubuntu? | 03:32 |
| Starnestommy | Y-Town: vnc? | 03:32 |
| tonyyarusso | Y-Town: uh, the VNC client of your choice? | 03:32 |
| Gatton | usser, echo $SHELL works for me | 03:33 |
| chuy_max | Gatton, that's the login shell, it has been said before ^^ | 03:33 |
| bruenig | usser: you should just know | 03:33 |
| mboman | Is there a alfa, beta or release candidate of the Mobile edition that I can download somewhere? | 03:33 |
| bruenig | I don't see why this would ever be useful | 03:33 |
| Gatton | chuy_max, well what shell do you suppose I'm in once I'm logged in? | 03:34 |
| Y-Town | Starnestommy: tonyyarusso Does that work with a DHCP connection? my web host doesnt give me static | 03:34 |
| chuy_max | bruenig, that's a very interesting question, I was very curious if there was a way to know | 03:34 |
| bruenig | Gatton: type dash right now in a terminal | 03:34 |
| Starnestommy | Y-Town: it should as long as you remember the ip | 03:34 |
| tonyyarusso | Y-Town: dyn-dns | 03:34 |
| jrib | orudie: get it? | 03:34 |
| Gatton | bruenig, i get a dollar sign prompt | 03:34 |
| bruenig | Gatton: echo "$SHELL" | 03:34 |
| usser | Gatton: that's login shell | 03:34 |
| Gatton | bruenig, i get the same shell as before | 03:35 |
| usser | hehe | 03:35 |
| bruenig | that is not a login shell, that is the dash shell | 03:35 |
| bruenig | Gatton: but the shell you are actually using is dash, not bash | 03:35 |
| bruenig | hence, that method is fail | 03:35 |
| Y-Town | tonyyarusso: I think that might be the solution :o) | 03:35 |
| Gatton | bruenig, you learn something everyday :-) thanks | 03:35 |
| * usser well yea I mean you should know what shell you are running | 03:35 | |
| usser | period | 03:35 |
| Y-Town | Starnestommy: I dont have control of when I loose it :O( | 03:36 |
| usser | but still | 03:36 |
| Gatton | bruenig, so is dash supposed to be a compatible replacement for bash? | 03:36 |
| bruenig | basically here is how I see it, if you haven't explicitly called another shell, you are using the login shell, which you can find out using echo $SHELL. If you have explicitly called another shell, then you know because you called it after all. | 03:36 |
| bruenig | Gatton: they aren't compatible completely | 03:37 |
| scott | so how do I disable Xgl? | 03:37 |
| scott | I'm tired of compiz crashing on me, I want to switch back to pekwm | 03:38 |
| nickrud | bruenig: when I do dash (learning my daily thing here) env reports _=/bin/dash, is that repeatable with other shells? I don't have another installed to test with at the moment | 03:38 |
| scott | but I can't quite figure out what's starting xgl, and pekwm seems unable to grab the root window with it running | 03:38 |
| bruenig | nickrud: when I do env, I get _=/usr/bin/env so... | 03:38 |
| karuna_bd1 | does anyone know where to learn c++ (for really really beginner) | 03:39 |
| bruenig | karuna_bd1: a book of course | 03:39 |
| === ce_sexi is now known as ady | ||
| karuna_bd1 | bruenig: any good recommendations? books are really expensive in malaysia | 03:40 |
| nickrud | bruenig: I see that when I'm in my login shell, I guess I'll install a couple others to test. Hope I don't get lost in them :) | 03:40 |
| bruenig | karuna_bd1: I don't know, you can probably piece it together from online stuff if you wanted to | 03:40 |
| orudie | jrib: thanx bro, this worked out perfect | 03:40 |
| * usser zsh FTW | 03:40 | |
| bruenig | nickrud: oh I see that when I am in my login shell too | 03:40 |
| bruenig | zsh is a neat toy | 03:41 |
| bruenig | scripting in it is silly however | 03:41 |
| orudie | nickrud: hey, i fixed my database by just simply reinstalling phpmyadmin | 03:41 |
| nickrud | orudie: heh. Nice | 03:42 |

| Jack_Sparrow | I have compiz and cairo | 03:43 |
| S82 | I guess thats cairo dock? | 03:44 |
| amenado | is having a program residing in ramdisk run any faster? or it only meant loading it is faster? | 03:44 |
| usser | S82: that's kiba-dock | 03:44 |
| crdlb | S82: that is avant-window-navigator | 03:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | S82, there are several themes... I use the cairo doc with osx theme | 03:44 |
| usser | crdlb: is it? looks like kiba to me | 03:45 |
| crdlb | usser: yes :) | 03:45 |
| roantreb | hi all. Nice dock etc. S82 Anyone have an idea how to get texlive working | 03:45 |
| S82 | crdlb, okay avant also known as awn yeh? | 03:46 |
| roantreb | go on....crdlb...... | 03:46 |
| TrustNoOne | can u get linux for mobile phone | 03:46 |
| jrib | roantreb: you just install it and it works :/ | 03:46 |
| crdlb | S82: yup | 03:46 |
| xtknight | anyone notice KDE seems to be faster than gnome for large amounts of windows/movement? just in general stuff redraws and feels faster, i dont know what it is | 03:46 |
| amenado | TrustNoOne-> there are claims thats it has been done | 03:46 |
| karuna_bd1 | TrustNoOne: that would be cool | 03:47 |
| S82 | cant find kiba nor awn under synaptic though, do i need to cvs it? | 03:47 |
| chuy_max | xtknight, I actually feel gtk apps are faster than Qt apps | 03:47 |
| roantreb | ......mmm..... From the distro site or is it meant to be from a repository | 03:47 |
| chuy_max | at least Qt < 4.0 | 03:47 |
| xtknight | chuy_max, really. interesting. i have the opposite experience | 03:48 |
| zero88 | While in working on a file in Vim, how would i save and quit? I cant seem to be able to do it | 03:48 |
| bruenig | zero88: :wq :x ZZ | 03:48 |
| bruenig | pick one they all work | 03:48 |
| xtknight | you have to press escape then type that | 03:48 |
| xtknight | :wq | 03:48 |
| bruenig | yes be in command mode for sure | 03:48 |
| Scunizi | bruenig, it's so easy.. how could we have not known that | 03:48 |
| xtknight | lol | 03:48 |
| bruenig | obviously in insert mode, it will just insert | 03:48 |
| zero88 | bruenig, ive tried that, and hit enter ,but nothing work | 03:48 |
| scott | what's a good way to tell what's got my root window locked? | 03:49 |
| scott | even when I kill metacity, I can't start my other window manager | 03:49 |
| bruenig | zero88: what does it say at the bottom? | 03:49 |
| zero88 | bruenig, insert | 03:49 |
| bruenig | zero88: you are in insert mode, see xtknight's message about how to get to command mode: esc | 03:49 |
| xtknight | zero88, press escape, type :wq the npress enter | 03:49 |
| S82 | crdlb, or usser does it need to come from cvs or some other rep than the official? | 03:50 |
| xtknight | get in command mode, :wq (write+quit); enter (acknowledge command) | 03:50 |
| zero88 | xtknight, bruenig there it is. thanks alot :) | 03:50 |
| * bruenig uses :x most often | 03:50 | |
| xtknight | zero88, i like nano better personally. nano's save is ctrl+W (write) i think and then ctrl+X exit if you find vim confusing. | 03:50 |
| xtknight | err ctrl+O | 03:50 |
| xtknight | writeOut | 03:50 |
| bruenig | depends on what you are doing with it, try programming in nano, not fun | 03:51 |
| crdlb | S82: it will be in the repos for hardy (the next release of ubuntu), but for gutsy you'll have to use some sort of 3rd party repository | 03:51 |
| xtknight | i just like gedit mostly, nice highlighting, etc | 03:51 |
| `LePGeL[BoY] | i miss this place | 03:51 |
| S82 | crdlb, got any suggestions to any i can use perhaps? i dont wanna abandon gutsy for hardy :O | 03:51 |
| * nickrud is itching to get his hands on a hardy rc | 03:51 | |
| zero88 | xtknight, ya vim is a little confusing i will try nano | 03:51 |
| xtknight | just depends on what you're used to i guess | 03:52 |
| bruenig | just run "vimtutor" you will figure it out | 03:52 |
| Khisanth | block highlights can be very useful | 03:52 |
| bruenig | once it does click in about 2 weeks, you will be good to go | 03:52 |
| chuy_max | scott, why don't u logout and choose another wm | 03:52 |
| `LePGeL[BoY] | is hardy already out? | 03:52 |
| xtknight | !hardy | 03:52 |

| scott | but still, pekwm cannot grab the root window -- yet metacity has no problems. I'm not quite sure what the deal is | 03:53 |
| amenado | is having a program residing in ramdisk run any faster? or it only meant loading it is faster? | 03:53 |
| S82 | usser, ah well guessi ll just get the tarball | 03:53 |
| chuy_max | Scolo, how are you logging in, gdm? | 03:53 |
| nickrud | amenado: load faster, but it's kinda pointless, linux has pretty good caching | 03:54 |
| Berto | Hi - I'm using brasero to burn my first DVD. Do I need to include the VIDEO_TS directory on the DVD? Is that the top level of the path? | 03:54 |

| scott | chuy_max: | 03:54 |
| scott | yeah I'm using gdm | 03:54 |
| amenado | nickrud i thought so too, i thought someone here mentioned about having a program in ramfs makes it faster, which i doubted..anyhow... | 03:55 |
| usser | S82: there's a deb for it hang on | 03:55 |
| xtknight | kubuntu 7.10 is kde3 right? | 03:55 |

| chuy_max | scott, that's weird, let me see, I'm logging in pekwm, brb | 03:55 |
| xtknight | Starnestommy, is kde4 usable even? | 03:56 |
| S82 | usser there is? some private repository or public one? | 03:56 |
| xtknight | out of alpha stage/etc | 03:56 |
| Starnestommy | xtknight: I've never tried it | 03:56 |

| scott | chuy_max: I should mention I'm trying to use pekwm with gnome, I had it working previously and have used a setup like that for eons. But I'm trying to switch back from compiz-fusion to pekwm | 03:57 |
| usser | S82: I assume you have compiz installed and working? | 03:57 |
| chuy_max | :o | 03:57 |
| S82 | usser, aye ofcourse :) thanks alot :) | 03:57 |
| usser | S82: no problem | 03:58 |
| scott | chuy_max: I've always used pekwm with gnome, but with gutsy I thought I'd try compiz-fusion for a while...and I'm tired of Xgl freezing, so I'm moving back | 03:58 |
| scott | except I'm not having much bloody luck | 03:58 |
| evilsense | i wanted to install an irc server and services, which si the best combination | 03:58 |

| ninja | hello people, my question is this, how do i revert my system back to before it was updated? running ubuntu 8.04 | 04:09 |
| jrib | ninja: reinstall | 04:09 |
| jrib | !downgrade | ninja | 04:10 |
| ubotu | ninja: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system. | 04:10 |
| ninja | seriously thats my only hope huh? | 04:10 |
| karuna_bd1 | ninja: kill and reinstall | 04:10 |
| ninja | i dont want to downgrade to an older ubuntu, i just want the updates off | 04:10 |
| jrib | ninja: then ask in #ubuntu+1. This is support for stable versions only | 04:11 |
| ninja | the updates killed my sound, so i figure that would fix it | 04:11 |
| amenado | ninja umm dont run updates ? | 04:11 |
| ninja | um no shit but i already did | 04:11 |
| cwillu_ | ninja, come to #ubuntu+1, nobody here cares | 04:11 |
| Karsyth | is it possible to remove permissions entirely? its getting very tedious having to run commands as root and whatnot | 04:12 |
| ninja | like i give a fuck if anyone cares lol, someone might | 04:12 |
| Karsyth | im the ONLY one who is going to be using this PC | 04:12 |
| jrib | Karsyth: what are you doing that requires sudo so much? | 04:12 |
| Flannel | ninja: Hardy is alpha software. #ubuntu+1 is the place for Hardy support, thanks. | 04:12 |
| cwillu_ | ninja, nobody caring means nobody is going to help you here; come to #ubuntu+1, stop the swearing, and I'll help you out | 04:12 |
| Karsyth | jrib: i have to set permissions in my ET folder for each and every folder, and sometimes the permissions i change dont save. then i have to do it all over agin | 04:12 |
| orudie | does anyone here have or had any experience with srcds ? i have a rather simple question | 04:13 |
| Karsyth | jrib: unless its extremely important, i would just rather not have permissions and have myself as the "root" or admin | 04:13 |
| ninja | i dont have clue one on how to switch channels | 04:13 |
| cwillu_ | then say that :p | 04:13 |
| cwillu_ | what program, xchat? | 04:13 |
| cwillu_ | /join #ubuntu+1 will usually do it | 04:13 |
| jrib | Karsyth: explain your ET issue. Running as root is dumb | 04:13 |
| Damon | fuck ubuntu | 04:13 |
| ninja | is there maybe a forum for noobs like me, i hit everything google spat out and ive got about 200 bucks worth of books that dont help at all | 04:14 |
| Karsyth | jrib: in order for ET to save my cfg files i need the permissions to write and read | 04:14 |
| Karsyth | jrib: that way it will save my profiles instead of having to make a new one each and every time i load | 04:14 |
| Flannel | ninja: Why are you running Hardy? | 04:14 |
| jrib | Karsyth: so explain what you are doing exactly. What permissions are you setting? | 04:14 |
| cwillu_ | ninja, hardy isn't ready for general use yet; pretty much every place you would have downloaded it should have had warnings to that effect. Things break on any given day, wireless, sound, x, etc | 04:15 |
| ninja | it DID work with my hardware, but not now, lost windows cant afford to buy windows again so i thought this linux thing would be cool, but its so broken | 04:15 |
| Karsyth | jrib: i have to set permissions for my User (Karsyth) to write and read files, that way when i launch ET and make a profile i can SAVE it too. otherwise it doesnt save the profile | 04:15 |
| Karsyth | jrib: i have to set the permissions for my ET folder and subfolders to be exact | 04:15 |
| ninja | and ubuntu 7.** wouldnt even install | 04:15 |
| jrib | Karsyth: type the exact commands you use | 04:15 |
| Flannel | ninja: Right, but why not use the stable version? Ubuntu 7.10. Hardy isn't fit for human consumption yet | 04:15 |
| Karsyth | jrib: im just right clicking the folder | 04:16 |
| cwillu_ | ninja, gutsy was the version to try. Hardy breaks things that _were_ _working_, as thingsare developped | 04:16 |
| Flannel | ninja: What wouldn't work with the install of 7.10? | 04:16 |
| cwillu_ | ninja, however, join #ubuntu+1, or reinstall from 7.10 | 04:16 |
| ninja | like i said i dont know how to get to a dif channel, and i am runnin this ubuntu as the other ones didnt work, but im just looking for maybe a website that google hasnt sugested for a nob like me, | 04:17 |

| prince_jammys | techno_freak: yeah, but if the user owns the file, can't he/she change the permissions? | 04:51 |
| jrib | quakky_: ninja is not using 7.10 | 04:52 |
| jiggy | how do I boot in low res mode? | 04:52 |
| bazhang | quakky_: he's not using 7.10 ;] | 04:52 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: how about this one ... sudo aptitude clean | 04:52 |
| ninja | but we have the same issue, so the same fix will work | 04:52 |
| bazhang | not so ninja | 04:52 |
| quakky_ | jrib: well i guess that makes 7.10 unstable too..cuz im getting the same error even though sound worked find yesterday lol | 04:52 |
| techno_freak | prince_jammys, there should be some one able to change permissions, that's why i did not tell anything about user permissions, let him decide | 04:52 |
| prince_jammys | plus, if you change all files in the user's dir to read-only, the user might not even be able to log in | 04:53 |
| bullgard4 | Why opens the MCVIEW(1) manpage, if I instruct 'man view' in a Gnome terminal? | 04:53 |
| inssight | techno_freak, what about making a whole directory for the group, is this step even necessary? can i just add a list of allowed dirs for the users prexisting group? ? | 04:53 |
| jrib | quakky_: "no sound" is caused by many different things | 04:53 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: there was no output referencing drive space.. when i type df -h i still got 100% full | 04:54 |
| techno_freak | inssight, i do not know the problem you are trying to solve | 04:54 |
| petercoh7 | Can someone answer - what are some of the things that will prevent compiz "cube" from working ? | 04:54 |
| bazhang | inssight: could you specify a bit more please? which directory etc | 04:54 |
| condor | anyone here ever done a netboot with ubuntu? | 04:55 |
| quakky_ | jrib: well for me, my ubuntu doesnt detect my soundcard..when i do that command to see the audio devices installed i get this.."aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found..." | 04:55 |
| bazhang | condor how are you attempting this? | 04:55 |
| jrib | !sound > quakky_ (read the private message from ubotu) | 04:56 |
| condor | running a tftp server and then trying to get the laptop to see the server | 04:56 |
| inssight | ok, well i have a directory on my computer i would like for my friend to be able to browse freely whenever he pleases, via ssh however i only want him to be able to access that directory, and his home dir | 04:56 |
| jrib | quakky_: I don't know much about sound, but I can point you to the standard sound troubleshooting page | 04:56 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: in the terminal, sudo du -sh /tmp | 04:56 |
| olskolirc | hi hi | 04:56 |
| jiggy | how do I boot in vesa? | 04:56 |
| inssight | and not be able to modify any files or execute anything unless it's in his home dir | 04:56 |
| olskolirc | anyone know a good pdf reader where I can highlight my text in cool yellow and make notes within the reader? | 04:57 |
| techno_freak | inssight, and this other directory outside his home directory? | 04:57 |
| inssight | yes, correct | 04:57 |

| quakky_ | jrib: I have done everything but compile my own audio driver | 04:57 |
| quakky_ | jrib: if that's what i gotta do then im reinstalling ubuntu | 04:57 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: 728k | 04:57 |
| gan | i compiled a kernel , the aufs compiled for this not loaded perfectly with kernel why? | 04:58 |
| condor | but when the laptop looks for the tftp it soesnt find the server | 04:58 |
| olskolirc | reinstall quakky_ ? | 04:58 |
| ninja | hey quakky, did you download any software or just the updates? | 04:58 |
| olskolirc | what's wrong quakky_ ? | 04:58 |
| Meshezabeel | I suddenly cannot see video in any video program (totem, mplayer, vlc, cinelerra, etc.) I can hear the audio, but cannot see the video, it doesn't matter on the video type, avi, mpeg, dv, etc. Any ideas what could be wrong? | 04:58 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: use sudo du -sh each directory until you find one is so large, then go there and find the largest file | 04:58 |
| condor | you dont have the codecs? | 04:58 |
| olskolirc | sounds like you need the w32codecs Meshezabeel | 04:59 |
| Meshezabeel | condor, I do have the codecs | 04:59 |
| quakky_ | olskolirc: long story short..sound worked yesterday ..i did something..soundcard doesnt get detected today..followed all steps and searched the forums | 04:59 |
| Meshezabeel | the videos were always working until just recently | 04:59 |
| PurpZeY | What's the exact command to reconfigure x, I changed gfx cards and x won't start? | 04:59 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: ok, thanks... youve put me on the right path | 04:59 |
| ninja | dido for me on that olsklirc | 04:59 |
| smatt | [matt@zeus iso]$ md5sum ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso | 05:00 |
| smatt | d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso | 05:00 |
| smatt | is this correct? | 05:00 |
| rabiddachshund | I'm having a problem with vsftp. I can download but not upload. Any ideas? | 05:00 |
| olskolirc | did you try alsoconf quakky_ ? you have to download it then just run alsaconf in the terminal | 05:00 |
| Meshezabeel | olskolirc, I do have the w32codecs | 05:00 |
| condor | etc/x11/x11.conf or soemthing | 05:00 |
| condor | xorg.conf | 05:00 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: alright. good luck in finding it. | 05:00 |
| jrib | !md5sums > smatt (read the private message from ubotu) | 05:01 |
| olskolirc | Meshezabeel when all else fails, I dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg then reapply my nvidia restricted driver | 05:01 |
| quakky_ | olskolirc: no I actually havnt..ill try to figure out how to download it and run it | 05:01 |
| Meshezabeel | condor, my xorg.conf file has not been changed | 05:01 |
| ninja | shoot i just tried alsoconf, said command not found | 05:01 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: any ones i might wanna check first? | 05:01 |
| olskolirc | that happened to me before Meshezabeel | 05:01 |
| condor | no that was for PurpZeY | 05:01 |
| Meshezabeel | olskolirc, okay, thanks will give that a try | 05:01 |
| PurpZeY | condor: but there is a command sudo dpkg recongfigure xserver xorg or something like that...b/c I need to use a different driver. | 05:01 |
| condor | sorry didnt spcify | 05:01 |
| Meshezabeel | con-man, ah, sorry :) | 05:01 |
| Meshezabeel | condor, lol | 05:02 |
| olskolirc | quakky down load it like this: sudo apt-get install alsaconf | 05:02 |
| inssight | sorry guys but i have to run.. i'll post on the forums later | 05:02 |
| smatt | seriously, can someone verify the md5's for me? I can't find them on the ubuntu.com website | 05:02 |
| condor | oh you mean to totally reconfigure the card | 05:02 |
| PurpZeY | !dpkg | 05:02 |
| ubotu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 05:02 |
| jrib | smatt: I just linked you to them. Check your private messages | 05:02 |
| smatt | i even searched "md5 sum" and it yielded no results | 05:02 |
| pajamian | smatt: they are in the same place where you downloaded th eiso | 05:02 |
| bullgard4 | How long takes Tracker to index all files (e-mail, /home and /usr/src)? Mine keeps working for hours. It seems to be broken. | 05:03 |
| olskolirc | anyone know a good pdf reader where I can highlight my text in cool yellow and make notes within the reader? | 05:03 |
| smatt | jrib: I didn't get a msg | 05:03 |
| jrib | !md5sums | smatt | 05:03 |
| ubotu | smatt: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 05:03 |
| smatt | ubotu: thanks | 05:03 |
| ubotu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 05:03 |
| pajamian | olskolirc: the only program that I know of that lets you make notes on a pdf is flpsed, and it doesn't let you highlight. | 05:03 |
| henno | Linux henno 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux | 05:03 |
| henno | but only one core is shown | 05:03 |
| tritium | bullgard4: it always runs, I believe | 05:03 |
| henno | any ideas? | 05:03 |
| PurpZeY | Can someone please tell me the command for reconfiguring x. I just bought a new video card and I can't start x....I know it's sudo dpkg reconfigure, I think it's xserver xorg? Anyone? | 05:03 |
| smatt | jrib: : thanks :) | 05:04 |
| quakky_ | olskolirc: sudo apt-get install alsaconf doesnt work | 05:04 |
| olskolirc | cool pajamian that's a start | 05:04 |
| henno | q6600 processor | 05:04 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: xserver-xorg | 05:04 |
| jrib | !xconfig > purpzey (read the private message from ubotu) | 05:04 |
| prince_jammys | smatt: from the internet, i got d2334dbba7313e9abc8c7c072d2af09c | 05:04 |
| olskolirc | it doesn't quakky_ ? let me try | 05:04 |
| ninja | didnt work for me either quakky | 05:04 |
| olskolirc | wow they took out alsaconf | 05:04 |
| PurpZeY | How do I know which driver to use for my new card? | 05:05 |
| pajamian | olskolirc: also, it actually works on .ps files, but it has an internal importer and exporter (which doesn't always work, I've had to manually convert with pdftops at times). | 05:05 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: /var 31G i think i found it.. lol | 05:05 |
| bullgard4 | tritium: No, this would be evil. Only the trackerd is a process that does not stop. But it usually sleeps. | 05:05 |
| tritium | bullgard4: I'm not sure. I don't use it. | 05:05 |
| PurpZeY | How do I know if it's nv or nvidia? | 05:05 |
| smatt | ok so check this. i burned that iso using k3b with the verify data option checked. i pop it in the desktop to install (with a freshly dban'd hard drive) and i can't get the thing to run. it throws I/O and read errors out | 05:05 |
| condor | nv is nvidia | 05:05 |
| bullgard4 | tritium: Thank you for commenting. | 05:06 |
| olskolirc | I was reading about ps files today. I don't know if I'll ever have any use for them pajamian ? what's it like? | 05:06 |
| smatt | I've tried with the generic ide options | 05:06 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: that depends on if you want the open-source or proprietary drivers. | 05:06 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: mine is only 184M /var | 05:06 |
| tritium | bullgard4: sure | 05:06 |
| smatt | still same thing | 05:06 |
| PurpZeY | tritium: Whichever works.... | 05:06 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: try nv first, then. | 05:06 |
| smatt | so can i burn this same iso to my flash drive instead, to rule out it's my cdrom? | 05:06 |
| quakky_ | olskolirc: i cant see any point in spending over 3 hours trying to solve my sound issue..i could have reinstalled and updated ubuntu 3 times ... | 05:07 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: i.e, they should both work, but if you don't specifically need nvidia, stick with nv | 05:07 |
| crdlb | PurpZeY: you need nvidia if you want 3d acceleration though | 05:07 |
| pajamian | olskolirc: the thing about PDF is it's designed to not be modifiable, it's a sort of "electronic paper" format... | 05:07 |
| olskolirc | quakky_ why don't you try the update button on the update manager. that usually fixes things | 05:08 |
| pajamian | olskolirc: so you will be hard pressed to find any program that can edit them. flpsed does about as good of a job as I've seen, and it can only add text, it can't remove anything. | 05:08 |
| henno | can anyone help me out?? q6600, SMP kernel, but only one core showing up | 05:08 |
| ninja | olskolirc thats what screwed quakky and i up is the updateing thing | 05:08 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: something was filling up by either playing the app or updating went wrong. keep looking in /var especially /var/tmp and /var/cache. depends on what du -sh tells ya | 05:08 |
| CVD-PR | Hey there, its there a way to know the last time i log-on? | 05:08 |
| olskolirc | or even go into software sources and find out what broke | 05:08 |
| smatt | i see the article on lifehacker, but it specifies ubuntu-live. | 05:09 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: something in /var/backup its at 31G also | 05:09 |
| PurpZeY | crdlb: I have a larger issue though. X failed to start, I believe b/c I specified the card in the wrong location...It's in PCI Express...What would that location be called xserver-xorg ? | 05:09 |
| blind | hey, can an op PM me, my friend is banned and doesn't know why | 05:09 |
| olskolirc | ohhh ok ninja | 05:09 |
| smatt | i figure the same could be done with the desktop? | 05:09 |
| quakky_ | olskolirc: im pretty sure i have the most updated version of linux,...and like Ninja said I had sound yesterday..updated today (cuz i was having graphics issues) and i couldnt hear anything | 05:09 |
| jrib | blind: join #ubuntu-ops | 05:09 |
| blind | k, thanks | 05:09 |
| olskolirc | then apt-get deselect-upgrade | 05:09 |
| CVD-PR | ? | 05:09 |
| ninja | yeah, and i think this holds true for quakky also, but it dosent even recognise that there is a sound card | 05:09 |
| olskolirc | there was no better release then fiesty fawn if you ask me | 05:10 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: okay. you're getting there. did u use backup app? or script? | 05:10 |
| ninja | sorry quakky, dont mean to speak for ya, but we are having the exact same issue, i knew i wasnt alone lol | 05:10 |
| pajamian | olskolirc: and if you print from linux then you use ps files. | 05:10 |
| olskolirc | ohhh ok pajamian | 05:10 |
| quakky_ | well apt-get deselect-upgrade doesnt work either | 05:10 |
| bazhang | ninja yours was an update to hardy; different from quakky_'s issue | 05:10 |
| olskolirc | oh wow | 05:10 |
| stevendemorez | could anyone tell me how to access and manipulate my webcam so I don't get a chan error? | 05:11 |
| quakky_ | i think im gonna go boot up windows xp...*sigh* | 05:11 |
| condor | xp.... | 05:12 |
| olskolirc | how is hardy? | 05:12 |
| persib | -4--] | 05:12 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9 | 05:12 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: apparently so.. lol there are backup files from 1 year ago.. | 05:12 |
| condor | quakky_, you are using sudo right? | 05:12 |
| quakky_ | ya | 05:12 |
| PurpZeY | Can someone help me reconfigure x properly to start with my new video card. I am getting "Failed to initialize device" and Screens found, but none have usuable configuration | 05:13 |
| quakky_ | im putting sudo apt-get deselect-upgrade ..thats how u do it right? | 05:13 |
| danny | can anyone help me learn how to install programs | 05:13 |
| PurpZeY | danny: You can install programs 3 different ways. | 05:13 |
| PurpZeY | danny: 4 really. | 05:13 |
| bazhang | jiggy: could you hit ctrol alt f1 when you get the black screen and try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !repositories > danny read the message from ubotu | 05:14 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: ok. you need to decide to remove it or not. or move it to another place such as external drive (if you have one). | 05:14 |
| bazhang | danny: sudo apt-get install packagename after you have the repos enabled and refreshed/reloaded | 05:14 |
| henno | anyone have a q6600 and can help a dude out? | 05:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i'm thinking synaptic would be a better way for someone that knows NOTHING about installing | 05:15 |
| quakky_ | <condor> the only reason i probably going back to xp (for the 2nd time) is because xp doesnt require u to spend 2 days trying to get ur graphics card and sound card to work .... it's all about the drivers.. | 05:15 |
| condor | ive never had probs with grfx or sound cards | 05:15 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: nah, i just want to delete them im in the directory now as root... whats the command to delete? | 05:15 |
| quakky_ | well i probably do cuz the hardware i got is pretty new | 05:15 |
| ninja | what kind of equipment you using condor, or do you have a phd in programming | 05:16 |
| quakky_ | lol | 05:16 |
| condor | ive been hacking for 25 yrs... | 05:16 |
| petercoh8 | hi, can someone help me with compiz ? I have an onboard Intel graphics controller and I'm wondering if it will work at all | 05:16 |
| ninja | ah ok | 05:17 |
| condor | its not rocket science | 05:17 |
| PurpZeY | petercoh8: It can work depending on the card and how much ram you have...it's sort of slow. | 05:17 |
| thiefness | petercoh8: i have an intel mobile graphics card and it works with compiz | 05:17 |
| ninja | no its more complex than that | 05:17 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot condor this might help; if not I have one other link for you | 05:17 |
| condor | bazhang, ill check that out | 05:17 |
| ninja | like when installing from tar and the dependancies need dependencies | 05:17 |
| petercoh8 | I've got 1GB Ram | 05:17 |
| bazhang | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet this is it condor | 05:17 |
| petercoh8 | and it's an 82865G Intel Controller | 05:18 |
| SisyphusINC | how do you enable dvd playback in ubuntu? | 05:18 |
| PurpZeY | Can anyone help me get x started with dpkg-reconfigure...I just installed a new gfx card and I can't get any GUI at all...I think I gave dpkg the right settings so I don't know why it's failing | 05:18 |
| jrib | !dvd > SisyphusINC (read the private message from ubotu) | 05:18 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: to play safe .. rm -i *.<filename extension> (it'll ask you before remove) | 05:18 |
| bazhang | petercoh8: the experts in #compiz-fusion can sort that in no time ;] | 05:18 |
| condor | ok cool the first one i read not the second thanks bazhang | 05:18 |
| petercoh8 | hey thanks | 05:18 |
| ninja | whats this private message from ubotu? | 05:18 |
| PurpZeY | It's secret. | 05:19 |
| bazhang | condor sorry to keep you waiting | 05:19 |
| quakky_ | it's when u do things like !sound | 05:19 |
| condor | no its cool | 05:19 |
| ninja | !sound | 05:19 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:19 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: rm: cannot remove directory `2007-03-12_00.00.02.236818.supergoat-laptop.inc': Is a directory | 05:20 |
| SisyphusINC | why is the a diagonal break across my video playback? | 05:20 |
| bazhang | ah ninja? the sound issue for hardy #ubuntu+1 is a bit different, okay? there are actual people in there right now troubleshooting it if you really want to get that fixed | 05:20 |
| tritium | ninja: wrong channel for Hardy. You've been told before! | 05:20 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: that's okay ... i will tell you how to remove that dir after you finished empty out /var/backup | 05:21 |
| ninja | what tritium? im not talking/typing | 05:21 |
| bazhang | heh | 05:21 |
| PurpZeY | This is the last time I will repeat, so I am sorry...But, is there anyone who can please help me with a dpkg-reconfigure in order to get my new gfx card working...I am stuck in CLI and I don't know how to fix it. | 05:21 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: you stuck with out X? | 05:22 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: state the question | 05:22 |
| olskolirc | PurpZeY dpkg-reconfigure <your X display | 05:23 |
| PurpZeY | tritium: I just installed a new graphics card. X will not start. I tried walking through reconfigure to no avail and I don't really know exactly what settings in reconfigure I need to make it work again | 05:23 |
| bullgard4 | Is 'kill -9 15904' the proper syntax to stop Tracker from indexing? | 05:23 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: i got it now. :D rm -r *.inc | 05:23 |
| olskolirc | FliesLikeABrick: dpkg-reconfiger xerver-xorg | 05:23 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: did you select nv, as I told you? | 05:23 |
| stevendemorez | I'm getting a vdiocgchan: invalid argument line after any v4l dov4l queries to my webcam... any ideas as to how to alleviate this? | 05:23 |
| olskolirc | oops | 05:23 |
| PurpZeY | tritium: I tried both nv and nvidia | 05:23 |
| nix_chix0r | I think people should check this link out. http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=pbrcxtwqob if that doesn't simplify linux nothing will. imo | 05:23 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: then what? | 05:23 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: ok. you got it. :P | 05:23 |
| olskolirc | my irc just went ballistic on me | 05:23 |
| olskolirc | ok PurpZeY I have it | 05:24 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9:now i just have to turn off that backup.. thanks a million, i had no idea on how to figure out where all my disk space was going. | 05:24 |
| PurpZeY | tritium: Then I followed the the reconfigure and I got "Failed to initialize..." "Screens found but no configuration." I can tell you what other erros you need to know but I can't paste it b/c I have no way of doing so. | 05:24 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: got lots of space back now? | 05:24 |
| tritium | PurpZeY: understood | 05:24 |
| olskolirc | PurpZeY do: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and then reapply your nvidia driver in restricted drivers | 05:24 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 05:24 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: but i knew i wasn't crazy when my HD kept getting fuller and fuller... | 05:24 |
| bazhang | oops | 05:24 |
| PurpZeY | olskolirc: I am in feisty... | 05:25 |
| olskolirc | it should still work PurpZeY but I don't know about reapplying the restriced nvidia driver part. I don't remember | 05:25 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: 239M in /var now | 05:26 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: i have seen it quite often at work; sometimes i get paged when the disk is 100% full | 05:26 |
| PurpZeY | olskolirc: That should not be an issue for me b/c I am in fiesty. I don't have restricted drivers manager...I know the issue you speak of. | 05:26 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: now that looks right. | 05:26 |
| usurpergoat | IcemanV9: thanks again, time for bed. cya | 05:27 |
| olskolirc | I loved fiesty but I'm spoiled on Gutsy now. ever think about upgrading PurpZeY ? | 05:27 |
| quakky_ | alright guys im outta here..thanks for the help.. but 1 last question..should i post on the forums to try to get a solution? | 05:27 |
| IcemanV9 | usurpergoat: terrific. have a good night. | 05:27 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: indeed would be worth an upgrade | 05:27 |
| PurpZeY | olskolirc: I'd consider it, but I like my setup and I don't like risking things. That being said atm my priority is to get *something* working | 05:27 |
| bazhang | quakky_: for alsa? | 05:27 |
| olskolirc | yes quakky_ post | 05:28 |
| quakky_ | bazhang: ya | 05:28 |
| quakky_ | olskolirc: ok | 05:28 |
| bazhang | quakky_: some really brilliant folks in #alsa | 05:28 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: Like I said, it would be something I'd consider....if feisty was working...atm I have CLI... | 05:28 |
| olskolirc | oh im sorry PurpZeY i forgot, what was broke again? | 05:28 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: get the alternate cd that will do the trick; www.ubuntu.com | 05:29 |
| quakky_ | bazhang: oh good idea..ill join that channel see if they can do something | 05:29 |
| PurpZeY | olskolirc: I just put a new gfx card into my machine...now I got no x. They are both nvidia cards this one is just much better. | 05:29 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: While I appreciate the advice I would hope that the fix for the problem isn't, upgrade, that will fix it for sure. | 05:29 |
| bazhang | quakky_: a bit quiet at times, but they will get it sorted when they are awake ;] | 05:29 |
| Karsyth | i cant figure out how to search a folder for all files it contains. can anyone help? | 05:30 |
| olskolirc | oh yes, PurpZeY : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg you'll be fine | 05:30 |
| PurpZeY | olskolirc: I did that | 05:30 |
| PurpZeY | olskolirc: Perhaps I am missing a step in that process....which is sort of what I've been asking | 05:30 |
| olskolirc | ewwww bad | 05:30 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: what card is it? | 05:30 |
| bazhang | finally | 05:30 |
| olskolirc | I don't know PurpZeY | 05:30 |
| olskolirc | download nvidia (new) | 05:31 |

| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: That change the situation at all? | 05:32 |
| olskolirc | I have an issue nobody can solve. I have a projector for my monitor on an 80 inch hdtv wall hang. I want it to spread out more. Do I adjust the params in dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? I'm scared | 05:32 |
| olskolirc | to make it wider to fit | 05:33 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: no idea, i'm looking in google :) | 05:33 |
| bmac2 | I have untunt and kubuntu installed on several machines, but I am having issues with my dell server | 05:33 |
| quakky_ | bazhang: lol seems #alsa is kinda dead | 05:33 |
| bmac2 | I can install every distro / OS on it except for ubuntu/kubuntu get a squashfs error | 05:33 |
| bmac2 | part of the way through the install | 05:33 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: Good idea. If I don't get a fix soon, I'll kick it around tomorrow I guess....But maybe you'll turn up something...Shoulda do it myself. | 05:33 |
| bmac2 | anyone seen this before? | 05:34 |
| bazhang | quakky_: hehe well I warned you; but when they are awake they can fix most things in short order | 05:34 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: you don't have envy installed right? | 05:34 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: No. | 05:34 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: ok good. | 05:34 |
| bmac2 | I tried the aic7xxx.aic7xxx=no_probe switch | 05:34 |
| bazhang | phew | 05:34 |
| quakky_ | bazhang: alright..well it wont hurt to post the problem on the ubuntu forums, and thats what im planning on doing. thanks | 05:34 |
| bazhang | quakky_: okay; sorry I stink at fixing sound problems | 05:35 |
| ashwini | hi | 05:36 |
| olskolirc | wouldn't envy be a good thing prince_jammys ? | 05:36 |
| PurpZeY | !envy | 05:36 |
| ubotu | envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 05:36 |
| olskolirc | ohhh i see | 05:36 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: is this what you get?: | 05:37 |

| grizlo42 | hello | 05:37 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: YES! | 05:37 |
| grizlo42 | i am having an apache crisis | 05:37 |
| grizlo42 | i deleted a folder in var/www/ | 05:37 |
| grizlo42 | and then added a new folder | 05:37 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: you know how to browse the web from CLI? | 05:37 |
| PurpZeY | No. | 05:37 |
| grizlo42 | and when i go to local host, the new folder doesn´t appear | 05:38 |
| quakky_ | btw guys when is the next big upgrade happening to ubuntu? i heard it was like less than a month | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: use www-browser or install "elinks" for nicer display | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: check this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665018 | 05:38 |
| chuy_max | PriceChild, w3m? | 05:38 |
| grizlo42 | and the folder i reset contents of came up with an error, saying index.php can´t be found | 05:38 |
| grizlo42 | and i know it is in there | 05:38 |
| PurpZeY | Out of curiosity....Just to complicate the issue...I did more than update my gfx card. I actually rebuilt my machine completely and supplanted the harddrives....Might I be better off just installing over my current install? | 05:38 |
| grizlo42 | anyone know what to do? | 05:38 |
| grizlo42 | i reset cache | 05:38 |
| grizlo42 | everything | 05:38 |
| chuy_max | prince_jammys, w3m? | 05:38 |
| prince_jammys | chuy_max: that too | 05:39 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: that can be fixed as well most likely; just need to setup grub again | 05:39 |
| TonyWong | Is the wifi setup via CLI under Ubuntu and gOS same? | 05:39 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: check out that thread. you can do : www-browser http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=665018 | 05:39 |
| bazhang | TonyWong: the ifconfig iwconfig sudo dhclient eth0 etc like that? | 05:40 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys, bazhang: grub is working fine. But it is literally a brand new computer....Maybe a fresh install would be better | 05:40 |
| bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 TonyWong this is the ubuntu cli way ;] | 05:40 |
| grizlo42 | pls anyone? | 05:41 |
| TonyWong | thx | 05:41 |
| grizlo42 | i really need this by tomorrow | 05:41 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: never reinstall when you can spend hours in here ;] | 05:41 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, create an index.html in /var/www | 05:42 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: if you want ... but you should be able to fix this problem without reinstalling. if looking online from CLI is annoying, boot from live CD | 05:42 |
| bullgard4 | Is 'kill -9 15904' the proper syntax to stop Tracker from indexing? | 05:42 |
| bazhang | grizlo42: have you tried #apache ? | 05:42 |
| chuy_max | and type localhost grizlo42 in firefox | 05:42 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: No, I'm serious....I am asking a real question....I built literally scrapped my entire machine except for my hard-drives....Now also Ubuntu isn't recognizing my network card....Is a new install a better way to go? | 05:42 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, does it work? | 05:43 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: Ubuntu is not recognizing my network card either. | 05:43 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: I am serious too (except for the length of time); that should be fixable; one problem at a time though | 05:43 |
| olskolirc | oh hell PurpZeY at that point scrap it all lol | 05:43 |
| grizlo42 | yeah | 05:44 |
| grizlo42 | the index.html thing works | 05:44 |
| olskolirc | I was fooling around with kde4 the other day and messed my system up really bad | 05:44 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, thanks, I ran dpkg-reconfigure, and removed the nvidia proprietary drivers. Video playback now works fine, however, when I re-enable the nvidia drivers, I just get a black screen on videos again. | 05:44 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, ok, rename it for index.php, what happens? | 05:44 |
| olskolirc | I had to uninstall kde and reinstall kde and kubuntu to get it back | 05:44 |
| grizlo42 | let me try | 05:44 |
| olskolirc | thank god my files systems were still there and all my hard work | 05:44 |
| PurpZeY | Different question: If I install without formatting, will Ubuntu still have my files present? | 05:45 |
| stevendemorez | is there a v4l2 wrapper or something to make your device compatible to v4l programs | 05:45 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: if it is a rather fresh install then just reinstalling would be a good choice, but if you have tons of data you want to save then you might want to try fixing it; just something to consider | 05:45 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: I was under the impression that if I reinstalled without reformatting I wouldn't lose data. | 05:45 |
| grizlo42 | it still works | 05:45 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: seperate /home partition? | 05:45 |
| grizlo42 | if rename it | 05:45 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: That the only way....Otherwise if I install over I'm out of it? | 05:46 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, ok, so problem solved, isn't it? | 05:46 |
| TrustNoOne | how can i change the permission of /usr/share/azureus so that i can write to it, so that azureus can do updates without running as root? | 05:46 |
| Meshezabeel1 | any more ideas olskolirc? | 05:47 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: if you explicitly created a seperate home partition then a reinstall will leave your data alone; if not then no | 05:47 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, use chmod | 05:47 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: I did not. | 05:47 |
| olskolirc | sound issue right Meshezabeel1 ? | 05:47 |
| grizlo42 | let me check | 05:47 |
| grizlo42 | i don´t think so | 05:47 |
| grizlo42 | cause if i delete index.html | 05:47 |
| grizlo42 | then it shows the folders | 05:47 |
| olskolirc | or video Meshezabeel1 | 05:47 |
| TrustNoOne | chuy_max, yeah i got that far but i dont know the entire command to use | 05:47 |
| grizlo42 | and it doesn´t show all of the ones it should | 05:47 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, video, yes | 05:47 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, are you aware of permissions?, rwx? | 05:48 |
| olskolirc | hmmm | 05:48 |
| olskolirc | can you pull the card? | 05:48 |
| olskolirc | and reinstall it | 05:48 |
| TrustNoOne | chuy_max, would it be "sudo chmod +w /usr/share/azureus" | 05:48 |
| grizlo42 | nope | 05:48 |
| j_ | Is there a command to revmove an synaptic package manager files? | 05:48 |
| grizlo42 | problem still there | 05:48 |
| olskolirc | oops, Meshezabeel1 pull the card and reinstall it | 05:48 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, give full permissions with sudo chmod 777 /usrblabla | 05:49 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: I have one crucial partition that is NTFS that I would NEED to save. Otherwise, I'd be OK. | 05:49 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, it is my playback of avi, mpeg, dv, wmv videos that don't work when nvidia proprietary drivers are enabled, it used to work fine but suddenly stopped working last week | 05:49 |
| bazhang | j_: something you installed with synpatic you wish to remove with the cli? is that the thrust of your question? | 05:49 |
| olskolirc | ohhh ok Meshezabeel1 | 05:49 |
| TrustNoOne | chuy_max, i dont want full permission, just write so it can do updates, so would i use that command i previously mentioned? | 05:49 |
| grizlo42 | what is the terminal command to remove all php, mysql, and apache stuff from my comp | 05:49 |
| grizlo42 | so i can re install | 05:49 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: you said you just updated everything ... do you have another hard drive lying around? | 05:49 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, yes, you can also do that | 05:49 |
| j_ | bazhang yep | 05:49 |
| olskolirc | let me think a second Meshezabeel1 | 05:49 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: No. But I imagine I could buy one. | 05:50 |
| bazhang | j_: sudo apt-get remove packagename | 05:50 |
| grizlo42 | anyone? | 05:50 |
| j_ | bazhang for example i accidently install this game call abuse | 05:50 |
| grizlo42 | yeah | 05:50 |
| j_ | bazhang thanks | 05:50 |
| olskolirc | Meshezabeel1: cat > /dev/video0 | 05:50 |
| grizlo42 | but do you know which packages i need to remove? | 05:50 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: Everything except my harddrives...The idea was to save my hard-drives and just supplant them over to the new machine. | 05:50 |
| olskolirc | smack it around a bit lol | 05:50 |
| bazhang | olskolirc: not very helpful | 05:50 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: you could also try to copy your files to the ntfs partition and then copy back after reinstall ... | 05:50 |
| olskolirc | see if he gets scribble bazhang | 05:51 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, what is the problem, I thought you couldn't open php scripts | 05:51 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: or burn to cd, if they fit | 05:51 |
| olskolirc | I'd kill to get my mythtv going | 05:51 |
| TrustNoOne | chuy_max, and so changing permission to write for /usr/share/azureus will only affect azureus folder, not the folders containing it right? so usr and share will not be +w? | 05:51 |
| olskolirc | im using a pvr card and im running it through vlc | 05:51 |
| bazhang | olskolirc: mythbuntu? | 05:51 |
| olskolirc | say what bazhang ? /me mouth hanging open | 05:52 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, I think I just wiped out my /dev/video0 with the > in the line you gave me | 05:52 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, yes, if you want to include files and dirs under that directory, you want to add -R | 05:52 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: I am not so terribly concerned about the files on my ubuntu drive....It's my other drive I want to try to save really. | 05:52 |
| bazhang | olskolirc: they have a channel for mythbuntu you know | 05:52 |
| prince_jammys | PurpZeY: the NTFS? that won't be affected | 05:52 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, chmod -R +w /blabla | 05:52 |
| olskolirc | my issue bazhang is that my config is full screen and my close doesn't close. I have to restart X to get back | 05:53 |
| olskolirc | what happened Meshezabeel1 ? | 05:53 |
| PurpZeY | prince_jammys: So, maybe I get a new install...if of course I can get my computer to recognize my SATA disc drive. If it did that, then I'd be reinstalling already. | 05:53 |
| TrustNoOne | chuy_max, ok that will only affect the folders azureus and the folders within it right? not the folders usr or share? | 05:53 |
| prince_jammys | TrustNoOne: right, the permissions will affect only the file you say (unless you do -R for recursive when changing permissions for a directory). but the parent dirs will never be affected | 05:53 |
| chuy_max | TrustNoOne, right | 05:53 |
| === guest is now known as kavik | ||

| olskolirc | oh its fine then Meshezabeel1 did you see scribble? | 05:54 |
| kavik | how do i burn image to cd? | 05:54 |
| olskolirc | thanks bazhang I'll write that down | 05:54 |
| TrustNoOne | prince_jammys, because it is the newest version which was a zip file that i just extracted to that location, it had no install script, it just has a run script | 05:55 |
| bazhang | kavik: right click open with cd/dvd creator | 05:55 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, scribble? | 05:55 |
| olskolirc | errr, its been a long time since I did that Meshezabeel1 did you hear static? | 05:55 |
| chuy_max | kavik, you can easily do it with k3b/gnomebaker | 05:55 |
| prince_jammys | TrustNoOne: have you tried running it with sudo instead of changing permissions? | 05:55 |
| kavik | i'm on vista right now | 05:56 |
| TrustNoOne | prince_jammys, i do not want to run any program with sudo unless i have to | 05:56 |
| prince_jammys | kavik: go to places->cd burner and drag the image file into the window. then select "burn as image" | 05:56 |
| bazhang | isorecorder2 then should work kavik | 05:56 |
| kavik | I don't have anything to burn the image with | 05:56 |
| PurpZeY | TrustNoOne: I think the suggestion is you might have to in this scenario. | 05:56 |
| chuy_max | kavik, download nero | 05:56 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, hear static from what? From the command you gave me? I didn't hear any static. When playing video I see a black screen, but can hear the audio fine. | 05:56 |
| === KnifeHat_ is now known as KnifeHat | ||

| olskolirc | ok Meshezabeel1 im crap out of clues, sorry | 05:57 |
| bazhang | wow prince_jammys knows #bash and vista--I'm impressed ;] | 05:57 |
| chuy_max | kavik, nero is the most popular windows burning app | 05:57 |
| prince_jammys | bazhang: ? | 05:57 |
| Meshezabeel1 | olskolirc, okay, no problem, thanks for your willingness to help :) | 05:57 |

| j_ | Does PIDGEN music messaging plugin works? ? ? Its not working for me for some reasons | 06:00 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: Realistically it seems like the Ubuntu fix is to reinstall, and I am OK with that...I don't think anything else is going to work...I see my boot screens...Ubuntu is looking for all sorts of hardware and failing to find it. That'd be the best fix. | 06:00 |
| junjun | bugay | 06:00 |
| PurpZeY | j_: Ask in #pidgin | 06:00 |
| prince_jammys | decay: redirects the output to a file called "something" | 06:00 |
| decay | prince thanks | 06:00 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, does it show /var/www/apache-default contents? | 06:00 |
| Meshezabeel1 | PurpZeY, for windows, you could always try sysprep maybe | 06:00 |
| kavik | bazhang which bit do i want? | 06:00 |
| kavik | bazhang, 32 or 64? | 06:01 |
| bazhang | PurpZeY: that is more the windows way; really this can be worked on but not all of them at one go | 06:01 |
| kavik | bazhang, or should i get the command line cd burner? | 06:01 |
| PurpZeY | Meshezabeel1: I am currently running in safemode to recognize my new hardware... | 06:01 |
| PurpZeY | bazhang: I mean this in a non-degrading way. But so far, none of them can be worked on. | 06:01 |
| grizlo42 | no, it shows the directory above that | 06:01 |
| bazhang | kavik what cpu do you have? core2 duo or amd 64bit? | 06:01 |
| tgcondor | hi, after a recent update, df -h shows 226G 225G 0 (Size Used Avail) so my / is acting as full. Deleting files reduces "Used" but Avail remains at zero. Any idea why? | 06:01 |
| kavik | bazhang, i'm not sure, how do i check? system info? | 06:02 |
| prince_jammys | decay: try : ls >myfiles and then open the new file "myfiles" | 06:02 |
| TrustNoOne | how can you view the permissions on a folder | 06:02 |
| bazhang | kavik: from vista? | 06:02 |
| tgcondor | TrustNoOne: ls -ld folder | 06:02 |
| kavik | bazhang, yeah | 06:02 |
| draicone | How can I upgrade some packages using the alternate ISO? I'm thinking I have to mount it and get synaptic to recognise it, but I can't work out how | 06:02 |
| chuy_max | grizlo42, weird, my apache reflects changes when refreshing, I don't have to clean cache | 06:02 |
| bazhang | kavik: do you know what make and model of your computer? there should be some sticker on it like intel inside or amd or somesuch | 06:03 |
| kavik | bazhang, it says processor: intel(R) Celeron(R) M CPU 440 @ 1.86GHz 1.87GHz | 06:03 |
| bazhang | kavik 32 bit then | 06:03 |
| kavik | bazhang, k thanks. | 06:03 |
| tgcondor | draicone: you mean update packages on your system but first booting from an alternate CD? | 06:03 |
| decay | prince_jammys: im following an exmaple in a shell scripting book that arrived today. (im 100% new to this). heres' the first example: http://slexy.org/view/s2049SEq6Q | 06:03 |

| prince_jammys | decay: there's something wrong there | 06:06 |
| bazhang | SkinnYPuppY: what are you trying to accomplish? | 06:06 |
| nix_chix0r | salut sauvin you are a stalker ;p | 06:06 |
| kavik | On another note, what is the best IRC application? or.. which do you prefer? i'm using Leafchat, but i don't like it, it's too limited. | 06:06 |
| neo_ | how can i encrypt the data??? is there any preinstalled software???? | 06:06 |
| tgcondor | ok, easier question. What keyword can I use in google or ubuntu forums to find info about my problem? | 06:06 |
| tgcondor | hi, after a recent update, df -h shows 226G 225G 0 (Size Used Avail) so my / is acting as full. Deleting files reduces "Used" but Avail remains at zero. Any idea why? | 06:06 |
| decay | prince_jammys: do you know what? | 06:06 |
| bazhang | xchat is popluar kavik | 06:06 |
| draicone | By the way, are there any lightweight web browsers available that suit Ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| tgcondor | i tried several searches but nothing relevant came up | 06:07 |
| kavik | draicone firefox? | 06:07 |
| neo_ | how can i encrypt the data??? is there any preinstalled software???? | 06:07 |
| draicone | kavik: Way too bloated. I'm thinking k-meleon-like footprint. | 06:07 |
| bazhang | tgcondor: you might try an apt clean to get rid of the apt archives | 06:07 |
| SkinnYPuppY | The ability to have two or more user logins with active sessions and ability to quickly switch b/t sessions | 06:07 |
| mbrandt | draicone how lightweight? | 06:07 |
| kavik | draicone ahh... | 06:07 |

| draicone | bazhang, I'll have a look for it, thanks | 06:08 |
| tgcondor | bazhang: done that. I can delete big files, but it only reduces the "used" part of 'df' output, doesn't increase "available", and I still can't create files | 06:08 |
| kavik | Is it easy to have dual OS? | 06:09 |
| SkinnYPuppY | kavik: yes | 06:09 |
| bazhang | tgcondor: how big hard drive and how much remaining space | 06:09 |
| tgcondor | kavik: yes | 06:09 |

| chuy_max | neo_, you could also create an encrypted file system, that might be what you want | 06:09 |

| bthornton | I'm trying to backup several gigs of data from an ext3 partition to a large FAT32 volume. I can't just copy the files because FAT32 won't preserve the permissions, and I can't just tar everything because FAT32 won't allow files larger than 2/4GB . Can someone help me with this? | 06:19 |
| neo_ | bazhang: i just saved the pages for future refrence... | 06:19 |
| SuperQ | l815: Ohh, that makes sense | 06:19 |
| dimitris82 | tgcondor: i have installed squid proxy, SambaShare (and i have many data there) | 06:19 |
| SuperQ | l815: did you install themes by hand (command line?) | 06:19 |
| bazhang | TrustNoOne: why even bother with azureus? it is really a memory hog, and unstable as well--there are several other options such as deluge ktorrent, transmission; even utorrent under wine is better imo | 06:19 |
| tgcondor | dimitris82: so you care about config files, basically | 06:19 |
| dimitris82 | tgcondor: also i have backup my server with N.ghost ( i know this seems stupid , but worked for me) | 06:19 |
| dimitris82 | tgcondor: yes i can say so | 06:19 |
| tgcondor | dimitris82: I had a similar problem, it took a long time to make it stable, but it can be done | 06:20 |
| l815 | SuperQ, no i dragged and dropped in the appearance menu | 06:20 |
| dimitris82 | tgcondor: is there any how to ? can you tell me i dont have a problem to do it | 06:20 |
| SuperQ | l815: ok, so give me a min to figure out where gnome keeps these things | 06:20 |
| tgcondor | dimitris82: what i did was put all the useful files in one place, e.g., /home | 06:20 |
| sauvin | nix_chix0r, why did you show me a link to a video explaining to tiny children how to install Wubi? | 06:20 |
| l815 | SuperQ, alright thanks | 06:20 |

| tgcondor | dimitris82: then i deleted all the program using rm /bin /sbin .. etc | 06:21 |

| SuperQ | l815: where did you get the themes from? | 06:21 |
| l815 | SuperQ, :P.. i'll brb though need to restart | 06:21 |

| l815 | SuperQ, just installed some pre-released updates | 06:21 |
| TrustNoOne | bazhang, i do not have memory issues or unstable issues with azureus, i use it because its easy to configure port forwarding for it, and to disable DHT and decentralized tracking for my private sites, and it is one of the clients approved by my private tracker, i can not use anything not in the "approved list" and frankly transmission is not up-to-par with azureus, so i choose azureus over transmission which is one of their other | 06:21 |
| TrustNoOne | options for linux | 06:21 |
| tgcondor | dimitris82: yes. i had additional requirement: i wanted to keep my raid volumes as is, and eventually it worked without loss of data except for databases because i did rm -r /var | 06:22 |
| SuperQ | ahh | 06:22 |
| tgcondor | bazhang: so it seems that I have a process that keeps filling up my drive. any idea how to find it? | 06:22 |
| dimitris82 | tgcondor: it sounds to me a good option , but could just upgrade with aptitude only , without kernel ? | 06:23 |
| tgcondor | bazhang: humm .. i should 'man find' | 06:23 |
| bazhang | TrustNoOne: okay well one mans pleasure is another mans poison; transmission second to azureus--I just had some very bad experiences with that app and transmission has been superb--sorry not to help you out there | 06:23 |
| dimitris82 | tgcondor: if i dont upgrade my kernel everything is fine | 06:23 |
| j_ | How do i compile package??? | 06:23 |
| tgcondor | dimitris82: you could, my problem was a broken kernel | 06:23 |
| bazhang | tgcondor: open a terminal and type top | 06:24 |

| ubotu | j_: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 06:24 |
| tgcondor | dimitris82: i think aptitude keeps current kernel and ads new ones, you can then select which to boot from | 06:24 |
| TrustNoOne | bazhang, well of course, if you have a bad experience with something you deem it "crap", i mean i did that with xbox 360... so its understandable... but if it works for some, i guess thats good for them right? :) | 06:24 |

| willfrand | second, i need install some programs, but the ubuntu, tell me (?) that i need configurate the roxen4, and no have help | 06:49 |
| Killeroid | *make | 06:49 |
| vikku_ | <pajamian> suppose binutils-older-versio and after doing ar xvzf do i need to get in some dir ? | 06:50 |
| Killeroid | [dcr]: http://wiki.awn-project.org/FAQ#How_can_I_make_AWN_run_when_my_desktop_starts_up.3F | 06:50 |
| willfrand | by example, now i am installing the googleearth, and the synaptic tell me configurate the roxen4, how is this? | 06:50 |
| [dcr] | ty Killeroid=] | 06:50 |
| tgcondor | Killeroid, vikku_ : -z to tar only for .tar.gz, otherwise just -xvf if it's just .tar | 06:50 |
| Killeroid | tgcondor: noted and thnx | 06:51 |
| pajamian | vikku_: yes, you need to change to the directory that was just created by the tar process. So you mean you are trying to build binutils from source because you want an older version, do I understand correctly? | 06:51 |
| bullgard4 | willfrand: Please use the program 'Synaptic' to install the two packages 'roxen4' and 'roxen4doc'. | 06:52 |
| willfrand | aja, and next? | 06:52 |
| tgcondor | vikku_: like pajamian said, 'cd binutils-older-versio' | 06:52 |
| vikku_ | yes u r right pajamian | 06:52 |
| willfrand | then, cancel this installation, and after install roxen4, and then, install at new? | 06:53 |
| vikku_ | ok lemme try tha | 06:53 |
| pajamian | vikku_: ok, just out of curiosity, why do you want an older version? | 06:53 |
| vikku_ | tryiing to do a LFS | 06:53 |
| bullgard4 | willfrand: You said that you want to install the program 'roxen4'. Then you will have it installed. That is all. | 06:53 |
| willfrand | thanks bullgard, i go to probe | 06:53 |
| willfrand | to test | 06:53 |
| pajamian | vikku_: Linux From Scratch? | 06:54 |
| vikku_ | thats y i need some older versions | 06:54 |
| vikku_ | yes | 06:54 |
| bullgard4 | willfrand: Much fuerte! | 06:54 |
| bullgard4 | willfrand: Mucha fuerte! | 06:54 |
| pajamian | vikku_: that's a bit much to take on when you don't know how to build a program from source yet. | 06:54 |
| willfrand | what bullgard$, can do you spanish? | 06:54 |
| vikku_ | yes thats y my questn was to help me on buildg software | 06:54 |

| bullgard4 | willfrand: Un poco. | 06:54 |
| vikku_ | :) | 06:55 |
| vikku_ | Dream big you c | 06:55 |
| pajamian | vikku_: ok, well before you attempt to build binutils you need to have all the libraries and development packages installed that are needed to build it. building stuff from source requires extra dependancies that you don't need when you just install it from a package. | 06:55 |

| musikgoat | Hi, I'm looking for a little help identifying a bug (i believe) with my intel 3945abg card... occasionally, after running the laptop for some time, then cold booting at any later time, the wireless doesn't get assigned an interface (i believe). I'm able to see that the ipw3945 driver detects the card, but network manager doesn't load it, any suggestions to identify the problem? | 07:01 |

| bullgard4 | willfrand: I do not know what hotmail is. Is it a mail service? | 07:13 |
| phuzion | bullgard4, yes, a free email service provided by microsoft | 07:13 |

| bullgard4 | phuzion: Thank you for informing. I did not know. | 07:13 |
| phuzion | bullgard4, no problem | 07:14 |

| Alan_M | phuzion, I said that, then looked further... | 07:14 |
| Alan_M | oops :/ | 07:14 |
| stefano_ | phuzion, i don't think grub has a clue about filesystems and block devices, so i don't think it's able to boot off of usb, but i may be wrong. | 07:15 |

| bullgard4 | stefano_: I am running Epiphany. May be with webkit. How can I check that? | 07:16 |
| stefano_ | bullgard4, there should be a note about that in the "about" dialog, it should either say "using webkit" or gecko | 07:17 |
| tgcondor | phuzion: why put grub on CD? | 07:17 |
| Alan_M | because hard drives crash tgcondor | 07:17 |
| bullgard4 | stefano_: It says: "Using Gecko 1.8." | 07:18 |
| phuzion | tgcondor, because the person who wanted an alternative cannot resize his windows partition, and wants to run ubuntu from an external drive, but can't boot directly from USB | 07:18 |
| phuzion | by the way, I figured out the problem with my system going into negative mode | 07:18 |
| stefano_ | bullgard4, thought so, i was looking for a way to get it up and running, but i guess i have to wait a month. thanks | 07:18 |
| stefano_ | so, is anyone here using rsync to any extend? | 07:18 |
| tgcondor | phuzion: ic, the alternative CD allows you too boot from HDD | 07:18 |
| Alan_M | Why? | 07:19 |
| tgcondor | phuzion: I think with a mod you can make it boot from external | 07:19 |
| phuzion | tgcondor, the person's BIOS does not support direct boot from USB. | 07:19 |
| phuzion | I was suggesting a different way to do so | 07:19 |
| vikku_ | the error i get installing binutils are : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59450/ | 07:19 |
| tgcondor | phuzion: right, so the person would be booting from CD which then passes control to USB | 07:20 |
| phuzion | Right | 07:20 |
| stefano_ | the concept of bios is outdated and i hope that we linux'ers can get our hands on efi soon :\ | 07:20 |

| Alan_M | !efi | 07:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about efi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:22 |
| tgcondor | phuzion: i'm guessing the process would be as follows (automated through a script): boot into a minimal live CD that can access USB, then use linux loader to load the kernel from the USB etc | 07:22 |
| Alan_M | heh, figures | 07:22 |
| phuzion | Alan_M, I know what EFI is, I was making a joke | 07:22 |
| stefano_ | Alan_M, there is a better way to do it, and from my understanding it is pretty well documented. (efi) the big difference is that efi knows about devices and partitions whereas bios doesnt have a clue, all it's doing is running whatever is in the MBR | 07:22 |
| Alan_M | phuzion......maybe I didn't ;) | 07:22 |

| jaek_eee | anyone know what i have to do to make a new file in /dev/input/? | 07:37 |
| stefano_ | the biggest change in FF3 is that pages are now rendered with usage of Cairo, which is absolutely awsome because it gives you nice looks (just like any app), good - hardware accellerated - anti aliasing and so on. i just love it, but i'm pretty sure i'm going to go back to epiphany when it has webkit | 07:37 |
| stefano_ | jaek_eee, i don't think you would want to do that | 07:37 |
| stefano_ | jaek_eee, doesn't seem to be a good idea. can you explain your problem further? | 07:38 |
| * Alan_M erases the ot I had planned. | 07:38 | |
| jaek_eee | stefano_, the program i'm using requires a device file something like /dev/input/event0 | 07:38 |
| jaek_eee | stefano_, but this "control module" doesnt seem to be a known device | 07:39 |
| stefano_ | jaek_eee, what program is it? | 07:39 |

| stefano_ | jaek_eee, what kind of device do you want to use to control empcd? | 07:40 |
| jaek_eee | it is a usb control module from the early 2000s, it has a play/pause/stop/volume/next/prev buttons | 07:40 |
| Alan_M | brb, gonna go check out the ubuntu beginner team forum and see what I can help with..bodhi_zazen keeps griping because im on the team and im not really helping cut down the unanswered posts. | 07:41 |
| jaek_eee | stefano_, but google doesnt yield much help... the model number is pmd-c001 | 07:41 |
| stefano_ | jaek_eee, i think the program expects the device to be found and ready to use, if you just make a file this file won't point to any device. try and see if you can find out if your control thingy was recognised and what the device file for it is, if you know that, either tinker with the program configuration or create a simlink to the device, but if your device hasnt been recognised, it is much more complicated | 07:42 |
| jaek_eee | stefano_, yes.... i need to get the right udev "rule" it seems so it knows about this uhci device | 07:44 |

| stefano_ | bmz that may be true, but for the most part the official mirrors are fairly fast, if you want to have uber speed - if you care, which most of those who would be frightened as you point out wouldt not - select a mirror nearby | 07:53 |
| stefano_ | oh my god | 07:53 |

| up_the_irons | I have gutsy on my thinkpad t61, i just installed the latest kernel. Used same .config as in /boot (that came with the system). Now that i'm running the latest kernel, I no longer have sound support (only PC speaker). Any tips? | 07:57 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, just boot the old kernel until it gets fixed, you don't need the new kernel of anything particular do you? | 07:57 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: i recompiled so i can get keyspan usb-to-serial support (which is not included w/ ubuntu). I guess I could try a recompile with the older kernel | 07:58 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: better qemu/kvm support would be nice though, thought it might work better with newer kernel | 07:59 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, oh i see, than it seems that you didnt include all the required modules for your sound chip. | 07:59 |
| Alan_M | well boys n girls..fellow ubuntu enthusiasts and new users..im out! Remember, the forums are your friend if you don't get an answer here, check the forums ;) | 07:59 |
| stefano_ | bye Alan_M | 08:00 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: doesn't the config file included in /boot have the same config as the kernel that was running? (my older one) | 08:00 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: this new kernel has LOTS of modules compiled it, almost everything enabled (took forever to compile) | 08:00 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, you have to include those modules when you're compiling the kernel, /boot doesnt have anything to do with that. | 08:00 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: i mean, not compiled into the kernel, but the modules are compiled | 08:00 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, did you do all the configuration before compiling the kernel by hand? | 08:01 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: well, the /boot/config-`uname -r` does include a file that i can use as .config in my kernel source tree | 08:01 |
| pppZero | how can i stop apt-get from install unwanted dependencies? | 08:01 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: the only thing i did by hand was enable Keyspan support, every else was left as it was in .config | 08:02 |
| CVD-PR | ? | 08:02 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: all the other kernel modules seem to work | 08:03 |
| bluej774 | Does anyone know of a program that can dump frames from video? I can't find any that work. I've already tried "dumpmpeg". | 08:03 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, did you check your blacklists? | 08:03 |
| stefano_ | bluej774, do you mean dump as in extract or as in remove? | 08:03 |
| bluej774 | stefano_: I mean extract. | 08:04 |
| bluej774 | Extract to a png or jpeg or bitmap format. | 08:04 |
| === co_cr_teman is now known as uswa | ||
| up_the_irons | stefano_: blacklists? | 08:04 |
| stefano_ | bluej774, i think there is a program very similar to virtualdub for linux. but obviosly this wouldnt be so great if you want to exctract a lot and maybe script it | 08:04 |
| bluej774 | stefano_: I just want to extract maybe 10 to 20 contiguous frames. | 08:05 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, there is a blacklist for kernel modules that won't be loaded, i think it's /etc/blacklist or something like that, maybe your sound modules are listed there | 08:05 |
| stefano_ | bluej774, allthough very gui-focused, maybe pitivi will do the job | 08:06 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: but if that was the case, wouldn't sound not work on the old kernel also? | 08:06 |
| bluej774 | stefano_: I'll give it a try. | 08:07 |
| pppZero | bluej774, transcode will do it, see http://mightylegends.zapto.org/dvd/dvdauthor_howto_animenu.html for syntax to get yourself started :) | 08:07 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, i don't know if it's integrated in any way with what kernel you boot. | 08:07 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: ok | 08:07 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, can't you get just a driver (like a kernel module) for this usb to serial converter that you would just enable with modprobe? would be way easier than building a custom kernel | 08:08 |
| bluej774 | pppZero: Thanks. | 08:08 |
| souper | why is it that when i set my swap in the fstab by the UUID blkid gives me swapon -a gives me an error about no such file or directory | 08:09 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: probably, but it's not available on keyspan's site, they say 'recompile the kernel' | 08:10 |
| stefano_ | souper, you could have a problem with the swap partiton | 08:10 |
| souper | well when i set it by /dev/sda6 it works fine | 08:10 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: they have kernel modules pre-built for other distros, but complain on their site that the debian/ubuntu distros didn't want to include their modules | 08:10 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, thats too bad :( but you are not sure if you included all the right kernel bits and pieces for your sound are you? | 08:10 |
| souper | the problem is the hibernate script suspends to the disk by uuid | 08:11 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: if you're interested: http://www.keyspan.com/downloads-files/developer/linux/ | 08:11 |
| stefano_ | hibernate is a pain :( | 08:11 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: i think i figured it out | 08:11 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: ubuntu includes it's own driver: | 08:11 |
| up_the_irons | /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel | 08:11 |
| up_the_irons | /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/snd-hda-intel/snd-hda-intel.ko | 08:11 |
| souper | and i'm not nearly experienced enough to understand shell scripts as complex as that | 08:12 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: and it disables it in the regular kernel. I guess I just need to go ahead and enable it. But i'm worried if there's anything special ubuntu did, i'll lose that | 08:12 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, oh is this a binary only driver? | 08:12 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, try to type "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel" into a console and see if your sound suddenly works | 08:13 |
| stefano_ | could be | 08:13 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: i don't think so, i see the option to enable it in 'make menuconfig' | 08:13 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: but ubuntu doesn't enable it, i guess in favor of it's own version | 08:13 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, that's good, enable it and hope for the best | 08:13 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, this kernel building business can really be a pain | 08:14 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: yeah i'm going to try | 08:14 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: for sure ;) | 08:14 |
| souper | up_the_irons: here's a shot in the dark but do you have a sound server like oss installed? | 08:14 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, when i did it the first time, nothing would work. but it turned out that just waiting solved my issue (i needed some high-res tick stuff) | 08:15 |
| cpk1__ | up_the_irons: you can use oldconfig when you recompile the kernel so you dont risk losing anything that was selected by ubuntu if thats what you are worried about | 08:15 |
| stefano_ | thats a good tip | 08:15 |
| souper | snd 54660 11 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device | 08:15 |
| souper | i use the same sound driver | 08:16 |
| [dcr] | Is there anyway to increase graphics hardware accelleration in Ubuntu? | 08:16 |
| souper | that's what lsmod gives me | 08:16 |
| stefano_ | [dcr], what graphics card do you have? | 08:16 |
| cpk1__ | and xconfig is pretty friendly for people new to kernel compiling | 08:16 |
| souper | and my sound has worked from the beginning | 08:16 |
| === cpk1__ is now known as cpk1 | ||
| bluej774 | pppZero: How can I use those commands, but specify a start and end point on what to dump? | 08:16 |
| [dcr] | stefano_: its just a intel gms 970 chipset =[ | 08:16 |
| icesword | guys | 08:17 |
| [dcr] | but if theres a way to increase hardware acceleration i want to. | 08:17 |
| techt0nix | how can i install drivers for nvidia 5500 video card | 08:17 |
| stefano_ | [dcr], does the 3d stuff work in general? (eg can you enable desktop effects) | 08:17 |
| CVD-PR | how to edit the classpath? | 08:17 |
| up_the_irons | cpk1: but this kernel was downloaded straight from kernel.org, it doesn't have a ubuntu specific 'oldconfig' | 08:17 |
| [dcr] | yes stefano_ i can | 08:17 |
| pppZero | bluej774, i honestly cant remember, its been a while since i played with videos :| | 08:17 |
| stefano_ | techt0nix, open up the restricted drivers manager (or whatever it's called in the english i18n) | 08:18 |
| Jaapjan-Work | techt0nix: Or use/install Envy. | 08:18 |
| bluej774 | pppZero: I just don't want to wait for it to dump the whole movie and use all of my hard drive to do it. | 08:18 |
| techt0nix | stefano, i have did both and the video card still will not boot with ubuntu | 08:18 |
| pppZero | bluej774, haha i dont blame you :) | 08:18 |
| up_the_irons | souper: i'm pretty sure the problem is my new kernel doesn't have Intel HD Audio module built | 08:19 |
| stefano_ | [dcr], then there is not much you can do about it. i have the same graphics chip in my notebook and 3d accelleration is a little sluggish, thats just the way it is, i turned off desktop effects. (since then games are much faster) | 08:19 |
| d4rkmonkey | How do I mount an ISO in Ubuntu so that my computer will read it as if it were a disk? | 08:19 |

| m1r | d4rkmonkey: gmountiso | 08:19 |
| stefano_ | d4rkmonkey, theres a program called something like gmount-iso (i'm not sure what the name is exactly) - but it will do the job without any command line hacking | 08:19 |
| d4rkmonkey | Thanks everyone | 08:20 |
| stefano_ | youre welcome | 08:20 |
| souper | mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/point | 08:20 |
| [dcr] | stefano_: ah because i have it on normal and i always have AWN turned off when i play urban terror but i only get about 15~45fps unstable in game =( | 08:20 |
| m1r | np | 08:20 |
| cpk1 | up_the_irons: yeah i think its "make oldconfig" and it will tell the new kernel to use your old config and then you can go through and make more changes after importing your old config, its important to note though that the ubuntu kernel usually has support for most everything | 08:20 |
| stefano_ | [dcr], thats normal. but here's a tip, set the resolution down as much as you can (without going nuts), that should increase framerate dramatically. but Urban Terror is a pretty demanding game | 08:21 |
| souper | oh yea that reminds me: how do i make my bash alias' permanent? | 08:21 |

I know that on some streaming content I can copy link and then paste that into my media player , but there is no "copy link" option in a flash streaming video content (for example this video: http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/videopod/default.aspx ).

| up_the_irons | stefano_: i might just have to go that route for now.. | 08:28 |
| nuknght | Saving vesa state | 08:28 |
| stefano_ | up_the_irons, how often do you have to use the serial converter? | 08:28 |
| bluej774 | pppZero: I figured it out, but the program still has to start at the beginning of the file, so that sucks. | 08:28 |
| pppZero | bluej774, worked out how i did it last time, install avidemux, set A and B points, set it to COPY, and hit save, it'll just save the litle bit of video you want. then use transcode to convert the video into jpeg files. | 08:28 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: not very often | 08:28 |
| pppZero | lol | 08:28 |
| bluej774 | It just skips frames until it hits the ones you want. | 08:28 |
| souper | d4rkmonkey dvd's essentially are data cds | 08:29 |

| stefano_ | nuknght, i don't think i fully understand it. what exactly do you mean by saving vesa state? is it somewhat like the standby mode? | 08:29 |
| up_the_irons | stefano_: regarding the keyspan drivers though, i do 'sudo modprobe keyspan', all i well, but i don't know which /dev/* to use. Is there a way i can find that out programatically? | 08:29 |
| nuknght | no, its during the install after it mounts ?? (something) .... | 08:30 |

| nuknght | could you link me to that page? | 08:53 |
| Jaapjan-Work | nuknght: Sure. Some people report success with 'noacpi acpi=off apm=on' as kernel options because that/those dells do not have good acpi support. Anyway, link coming up... | 08:54 |

| Werdna | hey. I'm trying to set up my laptop running gutsy to connect to my new wireless network (old one worked fine), which uses DHCP (old used just MAC filtering). I'm not able to get an IP address (not receiving any DHCPOFFERs). I think it might be to do with an error that I get, ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH] - Operation not supported. It's a laptop from c. 2003, so it may not support WPA. Where can I find out what the problem is? | 09:06 |
| Extend | yeah but i know there is a command line for it but i forgot it | 09:07 |

| stefano_ | OsamaK, if you havent got much RAM, the ubuntu live cd might not work. if you want to install ubuntu anyway, you can use the "alternate cd", thats fairly easy, but you have to prepare your hard drive | 09:11 |
| stefano_ | OsamaK, do you know how much RAM you have? | 09:12 |
| OsamaK | stefano_, I'm using Ubuntu in my laptop, it's working very well. This Computer is higher RAM than my laptop (1GB) | 09:12 |

| OsamaK | What's that? | 09:13 |
| Johnuah | Asus EEEpc | 09:14 |
| stefano_ | OsamaK, well sorry, i don't know why it doesnt work then. but i would recommend that you download the "alternate cd" and use it to install ubuntu on that machine, that would work most certainly | 09:14 |
| stefano_ | Johnuah, about two hours | 09:14 |
| OsamaK | stefano_, link? | 09:14 |
| souper | it's on the live cd one of the other boot options | 09:14 |
| TUplink | still no DSP tho | 09:14 |
| Johnuah | tks stefano | 09:14 |
| OsamaK | Is there a tornet file of it? stefano_ | 09:14 |
| stefano_ | OsamaK, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download there is a little checkbox below the green "start download" button, check this box to get the alternate cd | 09:15 |
| stefano_ | OsamaK, yes there is, but i don't know where, you can just use a mirror near you that should be fairly fast | 09:15 |
| OsamaK | well, sorry for that | 09:16 |
| stefano_ | OsamaK, did you get the link? | 09:17 |
| TUplink | anyways ALSA is sound drivers right? | 09:17 |
| OsamaK | yes | 09:17 |
| Linuxchix0r | Alsa is sound yes | 09:17 |
| stefano_ | TUplink, no, alsa is the advanced linux sound architecture | 09:17 |

| stefano_ | bye OsamaK | 09:17 |
| OsamaK | see you later | 09:17 |

| Johnuah | could anyone give me a guide link of mail server installation based ubuntu server 710 with not only web browser but also pop3 & smtp | 09:18 |
| Linuxchix0r | the kernel should detect your sound card if its supported | 09:18 |
| TUplink | its an old mobo so im sure it should have drivers | 09:18 |
| stefano_ | OsamaK, i don't know, you can search for it with google, there should be one, it should be named ubuntu-7.10-alternate something like that | 09:18 |
| OsamaK | stefano_, Thanks a lot. let me see you again | 09:18 |
| stefano_ | sure | 09:19 |
| ugenk_ | hi room | 09:19 |
| stefano_ | TUplink, try to find out what kind of sound chip you have on your mainboard, then put the name of it plus the word ubuntu into google, that should give you a good idea on how to install it | 09:19 |

| Linuxchix0r | viktorius I don't know if thats in the repository so you have to download it from Mozilla probably | 09:21 |
| stefano_ | Viktorious, you should wait for the next version of ubuntu (next month), currently it's not very stable | 09:21 |

| saqimtiaz | hey guys, I need some help with a Ubuntu 7.10 and Vista dual boot issue. I had an NTFS partition (X) that I was using in both, as of the last few days the partition is no longer accesible in vista, but works fine in Ubuntu. Vista always runs a chkdsk on it at startup and can see the files, but once booted cannot access the partition giving the error message: 'this drive or folder is corrupted and cannot be accessed'- Any ideas? | 09:22 |
| Viktorious | when does ubuntu 8.04 come out and what will change | 09:22 |
| Linuxchix0r | it comes out in april | 09:23 |
| souper | saqimtiaz i have the same exact problem | 09:23 |
| d0tk0m | will 8.04 have latest nvidia drivers? | 09:23 |
| stefano_ | Viktorious, it will come out in april (04) 2008 (8), and it will rock :> | 09:23 |
| stefano_ | yes | 09:23 |
| stefano_ | almost | 09:23 |
| Viktorious | what will be so differnet about 8.04 | 09:23 |
| saqimtiaz | souper: have you made any progress with figuring out what's going on? | 09:23 |
| aing | ? | 09:23 |
| aing | maneh didieu jir? | 09:24 |
| stefano_ | Viktorious, it will have all the latest version of all the upstream software, better hardware support, basically everything will be even better. and it will include firefox 3 by default | 09:24 |
| === \tsunade is now known as ita | ||
| souper | well i've found people saying that when gparted resized the ntfs partition it corrupted it because of the way vista stores data | 09:24 |
| souper | but i resized in vista first and i still have the problem | 09:24 |
| stefano_ | souper, that sounds reasonable | 09:25 |
| Linuxchix0r | souper it might be messed up | 09:25 |
| stefano_ | resizing a partition is always dangerous | 09:25 |
| ipe64 | stefano_: is that hardy heron | 09:25 |
| stefano_ | especially with vista | 09:25 |
| stefano_ | ipe64, yes | 09:25 |
| Viktorious | ok kool but i wanna use firefox 3 now lol the beta 4 i used it on windows and luve it | 09:25 |
| saqimtiaz | souper, stefano_ thing is that my partition was working in both Vista and Ubuntu and stopped without fiddling with the partitions | 09:25 |
| stefano_ | saqimtiaz, vista could have messed it up | 09:25 |
| souper | i've also read something about vista not liking being loaded by grub and that if you install the bootloader from the windows recovery environment it may work | 09:25 |

| saqimtiaz | I've got another bizzare question. I was messing around with Virtualbox and on restarting X got a HAL failure. When I rebooted, the laptops LCD would not switch on though the external monitor works. Now I know that sounds like a hardware problem but the timing is very suspicious. Any ideas? | 09:29 |
| stefano_ | saqimtiaz, try to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" it may help | 09:29 |
| souper | try the function key and f5 | 09:29 |
| stefano_ | saqimtiaz, do you have intel graphics? | 09:30 |
| saqimtiaz | souper: the fn key won't help..... | 09:30 |
| saqimtiaz | stefano_: nvidia | 09:30 |
| stefano_ | mh | 09:30 |
| saqimtiaz | thing is the lcd won't turn on even for a second, not even to display the bios | 09:30 |
| stefano_ | sounds tricky | 09:30 |
| stefano_ | oh that does sound like a hardware problem indeed | 09:30 |
| saqimtiaz | so.... not sure how it could be Ubuntu related.. but figured I would ask because of the timing | 09:30 |
| souper | er not f5 | 09:31 |
| saqimtiaz | stefano_: one more question if I may | 09:31 |
| saqimtiaz | souper: f4 | 09:31 |
| souper | strike that not f5... i just put myself to sleep | 09:31 |

| stefano_ | Viktorious, no, ubuntu is going to integrade the beta version of firefox, because it is a long term release | 09:32 |
| saqimtiaz | I'm trying to boot a live cd now, since I've royally broken my Ubuntu install. But right when it should start X the screen goes blank. Im guessing because it tries to use the internal lcd (which does not work) instead of the external monitor. Any ideas on how to get around that? | 09:32 |

| Viktorious | then what do i do | 09:33 |
| saqimtiaz | stefano_: remember that the external monitor is the only one that works so it has to be plugged in | 09:33 |
| Linuxchix0r | Viktorious, check if you shortcut is pointing to the firefox beta and not firefox | 09:33 |
| Viktorious | i already installed that | 09:33 |
| Viktorious | how | 09:33 |

| Viktorious | i havt the firefox tar.bz2 on my desktop how do i nistall it | 09:34 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, when you log in, there are two buttons, one is called session and the other one should be language or something like that, there you can select the language you want that session to be in, it also asks you if you want to make that language default. if your language doesnt apear in that list, you need to install the corresponding packages | 09:34 |
| souper | you didn't do it via apt-get? | 09:34 |
| stefano_ | Viktorious, don't use the tar.gz it tends to mess things up | 09:34 |
| Viktorious | thats how it told me to do it coz i did the package one and said updates done and nuting | 09:35 |
| stefano_ | Viktorious, if you installed it from synaptic, it should be in your menu (as a seperate entry) - it doesnt upgrade your firefox 2 but installed ff3 aditionally | 09:35 |

| techt0nix | ere4si, 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) | 09:42 |
| ingo | <souper> but its an entry in my fstab | 09:42 |
| stefano_ | ^A^kira, oh! :O i see, try installing the package kubuntu-desktop | 09:42 |
| ere4si | ^A^kira, fluxbuntu is based on ubuntu but is not an *buntu | 09:42 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, can i PM you? | 09:42 |
| stefano_ | ^A^kira, maybe some bits are missing, this package should install _everything_ that kde needs | 09:42 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, yep that's it | 09:42 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: I tried everything done in this article i also switched to gnome to see if it is a kde problem because i use kde mainly | 09:42 |
| ^A^kira | stefano_> can't... it'll take too much time and... i did installed kde kore... | 09:43 |
| souper | ingo, and you see that error message when exactly? | 09:43 |
| ^A^kira | untill i installed kdm it did work fine | 09:43 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, in the channel others may benefit | 09:43 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, just one more question im trying to add the driver to blacklist so do i put Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device | 09:43 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, did you tell kde to use german as your primary language? (at the " Land/Region & Sprache" panel) | 09:43 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, why blacklist? | 09:44 |
| stefano_ | ^A^kira, thats not enough appearantly | 09:44 |
| martin007 | hi ... I installed compiz-fusion from GIT, but then I don't run Opera : opera: xcb_xlib.c:50: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. | 09:44 |
| martin007 | please help me | 09:44 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: of course, that was first thing i have done, i also installed qt-language-selector | 09:44 |
| ingo | the error message by double-click on "usb_disk"-icon is "Unable to mount the selected volume. mount: only root can mount /dev/sdg1 on /media/usb_disk" | 09:44 |
| ipe64 | ^A^kira: try a new user it sometimes works for me | 09:44 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, that will be the i810 driver I think - that's what you will need to blacklist | 09:44 |
| souper | have you restarted since adding the fstab entry? | 09:45 |
| ingo | i will mount the usb-disk via fstab | 09:45 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, i think my linux is trying to load up 2 video cards and i can only boot with my onboard video card (i'm thinking this may help me get my nvidia 5500 to boot ubuntu) | 09:45 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, that sounds very strange. i don't think it is too easy to fix. maybe you want to post a new thread in the ubuntuusers.de forums, thats generally a good idea if you have a compliated problem | 09:45 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, you will need to disable the onboard video from the bios | 09:45 |
| d0tk0m | How do I format a brand new SATA HD? | 09:45 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, yes but many others told me to also blacklist it | 09:46 |
| stefano_ | d0tk0m, use the program "gparted" | 09:46 |
| alanbshepard70 | ubuntu won't recognize my PCI wireless adapter even though it's installed (properly). I know the card works and I've already installed ndiswrapper and the needed drivers for the card. ndisswrapper -l reports a proper driver and that the device is present but iwconfig and network manager don't show any type of wlan device. | 09:46 |
| d0tk0m | k, k3wl | 09:46 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: Hm, I have found an open thread there with similar problem, and the supporters gave up | 09:46 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, wow that's very strange | 09:46 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: so my initial question is what env variable does gnome uses to check the language? | 09:47 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, when i go to screens and graphics it shows 2 diff drivers my nvidia and my onboard on 2 diff monitors | 09:47 |
| alanbshepard70 | Sorry, that was supposed to have a question, anyone know the fix? | 09:47 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, did they mention the driver name - from what I know it is the i810 driver | 09:47 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, i think it's called LANG and the appropreate value should be de_DE@euro | 09:47 |
| ingo | can anyone help me mount my externel usb-disk via fstab in gutsy - entry "/dev/sdg1/media/usb_disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,user=myuser 0 0" doesn't work | 09:47 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, open up a terminal and type locale | 09:48 |
| matthew_ | I just installed hardy alpha 6. worked fine. I updated and it killed my system... | 09:48 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, have you done sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:48 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, and see if the results match the ones on the wiki page | 09:48 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, yes but i can only do that on my onboard video card | 09:48 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: my locale only looks LANG=de_DE | 09:48 |
| matthew_ | can't log in on text console or anything... also rescue boot won't starta root shell. | 09:48 |
| matthew_ | I think it is a libc thing | 09:48 |
| souper | i don't know why you would have to add that fstab entry | 09:48 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, that looks fine | 09:48 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, one min | 09:48 |
| souper | my usb-disk mounts fine without it | 09:48 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, when i try to boot with my nvidia card it just hangs and i have to do a cold shutdown | 09:48 |
| souper | that's very strange | 09:48 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, there is a section in the wiki page called "Systemweite Änderung", did you try to do all that stuff? | 09:49 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, i have google.com my problem and tryed everything but this blacklist, so i figured why not try it.. | 09:49 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: hm, yes i think this is the old way of doing locale thing result is de_DE.ISO-8859-15@euro... up-to-date | 09:50 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, 8859 is not exactly up to date | 09:51 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, I can only suggest that it is the driver you need to blacklist - am reading stuff on it | 09:51 |
| ^A^kira | how to add kicker to autorun at kde? | 09:51 |
| stefano_ | could someone try this webpage for me: http://www.pokertube.com it just doesnt work on all my ubuntu computers | 09:51 |
| ingo | can anyone help me mount my externel usb-disk via fstab in gutsy, please ?? | 09:51 |
| ^A^kira | *where to add kick that it'll be autorun at kde? | 09:51 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: i just tried with only de_DE (without euro) and it generates 8859-1 | 09:52 |
| souper | ls -a ~/.kde i forgot the actual name of the file but i'm pretty sure it's in there | 09:53 |
| souper | i haven't used kde in a while | 09:53 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: do you have ubuntu running and if can you look if locales shows LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 for yours? | 09:53 |
| stefano_ | sure | 09:53 |
| zod_ | is it any good dvd progs for Linux? | 09:53 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 | 09:54 |
| CaBa| | zod_: i use VLC from the medibuntu repository | 09:54 |
| zod_ | some of my dvd (eks the simpsons sessong 7) dont work there | 09:55 |
| ingo | <souper>: i made the subdir "/media/usb_disk" as user root - my fstab-entry is "/dev/sdg1/media/usb_disk ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ingo 0 0" | 09:55 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, i',m sorry i don't have any more ideas :\ | 09:55 |
| CaBa| | zod_: do you use the medibuntu version? | 09:55 |
| CaBa| | tekknokrat: what are you trying to do? | 09:55 |
| techt0nix | ere4si, when adding i810 to blacklist do i just put it on the last line? | 09:55 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: ok i'll try to get de_DE.UTF-8 | 09:55 |
| zod_ | yes, something about that i dont have the license to watch the dvd | 09:56 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, hope it works :O | 09:56 |
| zod_ | any one know if ogle works good? | 09:56 |
| ere4si | techt0nix, yep | 09:56 |

| CaBa| | tekknokrat: well did you reboot? | 09:59 |
| tekknokrat | CaBa|: not today, but yesterday i also tried with several reboots | 09:59 |
| set_out | no | 09:59 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, uh, are you using KDE4? | 09:59 |
| set_out | ubuntu | 10:00 |

| ChevronX | Arh didn't know that. I had copied a command in | 10:06 |
| * ChevronX slaps myself | 10:06 | |

| prince_jammys | make it writable | 10:07 |
| tekknokrat | stefano_: never done this :) do you think it will add something missing in my installation? | 10:07 |
| prince_jammys | +t i think | 10:07 |
| CaBa| | prince_jammys: yes, tmp is 777, but you need the t-bit as well | 10:07 |
| stefano_ | tekknokrat, yes possibly | 10:07 |
| ChevronX | chown +t /tmp/? | 10:07 |
| souper | chmod | 10:08 |
| prince_jammys | let me check | 10:08 |
| faisal_d | +t? | 10:08 |
| CaBa| | ChevronX: yes | 10:08 |
| CaBa| | ChevronX: chmod 777 /tmp; chmod +t /tmp | 10:08 |
| CaBa| | ChevronX: that will do the job | 10:08 |
| prince_jammys | there you go | 10:08 |
| ChevronX | Awesome | 10:08 |
| ChevronX | It worked | 10:08 |
| ChevronX | drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 4096 2008-03-13 23:01 /tmp/ | 10:08 |
| prince_jammys | done | 10:08 |
| CaBa| | ChevronX: looks good again ;) | 10:09 |

| techt0nix | ere4si, right im asuming its the wrong driver | 10:18 |

| ere4si | techt0nix, if you dpkg the xserver it will tell you the driver it is using - so blacklist that one if you don't want it used | 10:19 |
| techt0nix | X server driver just says Intel | 10:20 |
| yjyjifsdf | bye | 10:21 |
| techt0nix | so just blacklist intel? | 10:21 |

| dneary | ichat: I am not sure that the installer is accessible right now - but I may be behind the times. | 10:35 |

| dgjones | ichat, you're welcome, there are some other text to speech app's I've heard mention of, but I can't rememeber what they were called, somebody else may know the answer though | 10:38 |
| micadeyeye | why? | 10:38 |
| ProbeDot | i need to connect to it via internet, i have 50 xp stations connected to a 2003 server using roaming profiles (desktop,my documents,registery,etc are stored on the server), the internet gateway is the centos server, so i have a local network with local ip's and the internet network with the internet ip, | 10:41 |
| ProbeDot | the problem is that i need a laptop using a internet conection to connect to the local area network via internet, i need all windows networking features available, somehow, that laptop must endup connected to the lan with a lan ip | 10:41 |
| geirha | micadeyeye: the sound drivers probably can't handle the suspend. It's usually fixed by telling acpi to unload the module before suspending, and reload it after the system is back | 10:41 |
| geirha | micadeyeye: you do this by editing /etc/default/acpi-support, and add the sound driver module to the MODULES="" variable | 10:42 |
| ere4si | ProbeDot, a windows server question here? | 10:44 |
| geirha | ProbeDot: sounds like you should read up on VPN | 10:44 |
| micadeyeye | ks3: can i use chmod 1777 /tmp/*?? cause i want all files to have xrw | 10:46 |
| zod_ | what program do i use/ get to detect and fix bugs in ubuntu? | 10:46 |
| ProbeDot | geirha i need to connect a laptop in austria to a local area network in france | 10:46 |
| ProbeDot | so that the laptop access al network resources of the lan in france, i want the laptop to act as a workstation in the lan, both laptop and lan have internet access, lan has one public ip, laptop same | 10:46 |
| Joelio | ouch, maybe I shouldn't have done an upgrade... glibc is dead :'( - apt's now broken | 10:47 |
| bazhang | Joelio: in Hardy? | 10:47 |
| micadeyeye | can i use chmod 1777 /tmp/*?? cause i want all files to have xrw | 10:47 |
| Joelio | yea | 10:47 |
| geirha | ProbeDot: that's what VPN does. | 10:47 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for the workaround Joelio | 10:47 |
| Joelio | any ideas what I can do.. only the running processes are working.. | 10:47 |
| micadeyeye | can i use chmod 1777 /tmp/*?? cause i want all files to have xrw | 10:48 |
| ProbeDot | geirha i don't want to move the entire existing lan to vpn, that will take weeks | 10:48 |
| geirha | micadeyeye: you shouldn't do that. The files in /tmp/ should be owned and only readable/writable by their creators | 10:48 |
| hischild | !repeat | micadeyeye | 10:48 |
| ubotu | micadeyeye: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience | 10:48 |
| Joelio | live cd, chroot, rerun apt-get update and hope that they've fixed it? | 10:48 |
| micadeyeye | thanks | 10:48 |
| geirha | ProbeDot: ok, but I don't know of any other way to do it | 10:49 |
| Polishpaul | do you have to somehow redirect audio output to the headphone jacks? | 10:49 |

| cpk1 | anyone ever use ebox and know if the firewall tools with it are adequeate enough to run as a router or if it can be configured to work with shorewall? | 11:01 |
| ProbeDot_ | geirha pm? | 11:01 |
| sureshot | where the php extensions(modules) reside? | 11:01 |
| dennis- | what is the easiest way to upgrade vom dapper to gutsy? | 11:01 |
| dennis- | do it the dapper->edgy->feisty->gutsy way, or just go from dapper to gutsy? | 11:02 |
| sureshot | the etc is only for config files i think and in php dir there is just some config-files | 11:02 |
| sureshot | where is the programm folder? | 11:02 |
| bazhang | dennis-: wait a few weeks and do a straight shot from dapper to Hardy | 11:02 |
| Frogzoo | dennis-: reinstall | 11:03 |
| Frogzoo | ok, bazhang's idea's better | 11:03 |

| Zampaktu | ArthurArchnix: do you have any idea as to why my machine inly sees 3.2 gigs of ram instead of 4 | 11:45 |
| imaginativeone | OddRationale: how do I run it, once installed? | 11:46 |
| imaginativeone | I would like to have it in my Applications list | 11:46 |
| Odd-rationale | imaginativeone: System Tools | 11:46 |
| bazhang | lancerocke you around? | 11:46 |
| prince_jammys | sureshot: look in usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ | 11:46 |
| Dr_willis | Zampaktu, on a 32bit system - there can be hardware and other limitations. I read up on it once. theres a lot of little things the can be making some of the ram not addressable. | 11:46 |
| prince_jammys | sureshot: /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ | 11:47 |
| Odd-rationale | imaginativeone: You'll have to add yourself to the vbox user group and log back in for that change to take effect. | 11:47 |
| sureshot | prince : oki will check | 11:47 |
| Zampaktu | Dr_willis: thanks, i have found the answer in a forum: hanks. I see this when booting the computer in the first screen: | 11:48 |
| Zampaktu | Memory consumed by system resources: 898 MB System RAM | 11:48 |
| Zampaktu | So I think there it is the answer. Also saw this in the DELL faqs: | 11:48 |
| Zampaktu | BIOS must reserve some address space below 4GB for PCI devices such as RAID controllers, SCSI controllers, NICs, etc. RAID controllers in particular may request and be given 256MB each. This is address space that would normally be occupied by RAM, but instead is used by PCI devices. | 11:48 |
| Zampaktu | RAM addresses start at 0 and grow up. PCI device addresses start at 4GB and grow down. As long as there is no overlap, the OS will see all available RAM and make use of it. If there is overlap, the PCI devices win, and that RAM is not made available to the OS. | 11:48 |
| FloodBot1 | Zampaktu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 11:48 |
| Zampaktu | This is working as designed per PCI, BIOS, and system chipset specifications. | 11:48 |
| Dr_willis | Zampaktu, Bingo - You figured it out. :) | 11:48 |
| bazhang | Zampaktu: thanks for sharing ;] | 11:49 |
| Dr_willis | Likei said hardware limitations :) | 11:49 |
| atoponce | at what point in pasting does FloodBot1 get cranky? | 11:49 |

| shujin2 | Got a problem with ndiswrapper in ubuntu... I got the iwlist scan working but I can't set the essid | 11:50 |
| atoponce | bod_, open it in gimp. save as png | 11:50 |
| bazhang | atoponce more than two lines | 11:50 |
| ubuntu | ok i am running live disk, wanting to possably install, last time i trouble with support on nvidia 8700 card is that fixed? | 11:50 |
| sureshot | prince there is just some files that ends with so like this mysql.so in windows there are many .dll files but i dont know what similar files in ubuntu is? | 11:51 |
| nyar88 | bod_: imagemagick supposedly works svg to png also | 11:51 |
| bod_ | atoponce, gimp screws the .svg when opening it, in gimp it looks nothing like what it looked like in inkscape | 11:51 |
| atoponce | ubuntu, i don't know. what was the issue? | 11:51 |
| bazhang | ubuntu the new driver covers that card | 11:51 |
| bod_ | nyar88, is there a gui for imagemagick? | 11:51 |
| n2diy | I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone. I can read and write to the card with no problems, once the Dapper sees that card. The problem is, it takes hours for Dapper to find the card in my reader. It is a standard Sandisk 256m card, Ideas? | 11:51 |
| ubuntu | ok was wondering if i still have to configure x | 11:51 |
| atoponce | bod_, no | 11:51 |
| bod_ | damn,.,.whats the imagemagick channel? | 11:51 |
| sureshot | prince: have you seen some php.in file using that path or? | 11:52 |
| nyar88 | bod_: not that i'm aware of, but it's easy to use. convert file.svg filename.png | 11:52 |
| bod_ | oh,. ok il try,.,.ty | 11:52 |
| Pici | bod_: Inkscape and save as raster as well. | 11:52 |
| prince_jammys | bod_: convert filename.svg filename.png (but there's got to be a flag so you get a transparent background | 11:52 |
| atoponce | bod_, #imagemagick and ##imagemagick | 11:52 |
| bod_ | cheers guys,.,. | 11:52 |
| bod_ | Pici, what do you mean? | 11:53 |
| prince_jammys | bod_: inkscape can export svg to png | 11:53 |
| Pici | bod_: raster = not vector, I think Inkscape can export as png if you want, unless you're planning on doing some sort of batch thing, which imagemagick would be better for | 11:53 |
| sureshot | prince:im trying to run a webshop and to have that going some extensions must be loaded but where:( | 11:53 |
| prince_jammys | bod_: the above command (convert mypic.svg mypic.png) also works, but you don't get a transparent background | 11:54 |
| bod_ | Pici, prince_jammys i wanna make pretty pictures thats all,.,. how do i export something,. and how do i keep the transparent background? | 11:54 |
| Pici | bod_: I dont have it in front of me, but I believe the option is somewhere in the File menu | 11:55 |
| ArthurArchnix | bod_: Simpler to convert, not worry about background, open in Gimp and colour to alpha | 11:55 |
| prince_jammys | bod_: look in inkscape, there's "export bitmap" or something like that. as far as the command, i don't know | 11:55 |
| bod_ | ArthurArchnix, ahh,. the sound of things flying over my head,.,.lol,.,. whats colour to alpha? | 11:55 |

| ubuntu | bazhang: it says there is but not in use rite now | 12:02 |
| hischild | bod_, if i'm correct there's a way to use supergrub from windows without burning | 12:02 |
| prince_jammys | sureshot: what are the names of these extensions? | 12:02 |
| Ezicc | ok, so I can get my windows network share to mount ok, but... when i edit /etc/fstab on restart ubuntu freaks out, can someone confirm if i've got the right entry? | 12:02 |
| bod_ | hischild, 2 screwed os's,. 1 ubuntu 1 windows,. grub dead so cannot boot windows | 12:02 |
| n2diy | bod_: wrong recipe, start with two boxes, one for testing. | 12:03 |
| bod_ | n2diy, i did,. thought i was a chef then turned out i was a housewife | 12:03 |
| bazhang | ubuntu ah okay; then should be allright--sometimes with newer cards/drivers you might get dropped into a shell instead of the gui, at which point you want to reconfigure the xserver | 12:03 |
| hischild | bod_, if you (re)install windows you can boot windows .. ? | 12:03 |
| Gothfunc | Ezicc: i have linksys at the moment (wrt54gs), but it's not working correctly and really i'd like to get something more powerful. any particular model? | 12:03 |
| n2diy | bod_: same thing no? | 12:03 |
| sureshot | prince: in windows one of the 45 extensions in the /ext is php_mysql.dll | 12:03 |
| bod_ | hischild, loosing all my windows info.... | 12:04 |
| Gothfunc | bazhang: asus over linksys? | 12:04 |
| ubuntu | bazhang: ah so still having to configure x then gatcha | 12:04 |
| Ezicc | Gothfunc: define "not working correctly"? | 12:04 |
| Laruft | Gothfunc, u tried the diff firmware? I use hyperwrt+thibor15c | 12:04 |
| bod_ | n2diy, no,.lol,. i thought i had enough know-how to be confident with 1 box, sold the other then screwed things up | 12:04 |
| bazhang | Gothfunc: you want something with multiple ethernet ports and wireless and a usb port for using as a torrent box--then the asus is the one | 12:04 |
| prince_jammys | sureshot: you can install the mysql extension through apt, and it should be configured automatically | 12:04 |
| zod_ | any one know where to get an good list of non-official Linux Games? please tell :) | 12:04 |
| bod_ | non-official? theres official games? | 12:05 |
| hischild | bod_, not if you tell windows not to do anything to the file system and then give it an alternate dir to install to (for example, c:/win2)_ | 12:05 |
| zod_ | well not all the tux games, like fps or something | 12:05 |
| prince_jammys | !info php5-mysql | sureshot | 12:05 |
| sureshot | prince: yeah sure but it probably is about 44 more extensions in there | 12:05 |
| ubuntu | bazhang thank you for your time am closing out good day | 12:05 |

| n2diy | bod_: ok on that. I have four boxes here, when things go bad, and only one is working, I start to get worried. | 12:06 |
| bazhang | ubuntu come on back if you have any issues ;] | 12:06 |

| Dr_willis | zod_, ive rarely seen that happen. - you can alwyas try 'ssh'ing into the box and see what crashed. Video drivers are often the main problem. | 12:07 |
| white_eagle | Odd-rationale: and will it be available as an update to gutsy? | 12:07 |
| Ezicc | bazhang: could you check an fstab entry for me? | 12:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | d0tk0m, Just do the regular updates... | 12:21 |
| * Dr_willis agrees with Jack_Sparrow | 12:21 | |

| kaxi | n2diy is that it? thanks. i'll give it a shot | 12:22 |
| d0tk0m | I'm worried for the latest nvidia drivers i have installed tho when I update the kernel. | 12:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carrera, Perhaps dmesg | 12:23 |
| d0tk0m | whats the safest move? | 12:23 |
| bod_ | n2diy, that depends,.,. dos has changed with every distro,.,. win xp dos is different to win 98 dos,. and orig dos,. and disk repair mode has limited dos,. DOS was written by a college student bulied into giving it to microsoft,. who is owned by billy who went to school with the creator of apple who is allergic to fruits which grow on trees,. | 12:23 |

| pppZero | d0tk0m, nvidia drivers are just modules, install them though synaptic, reboot, and they should be loaded, the actual kernel shouldnt matter as long as its relatively new | 12:24 |

| Ezicc | sudo mount.cifs //demysserver/documents /J -o credentials=~/.smbpass | 12:25 |

| ubuntuuu | Xchat it is then :). | 12:27 |
| n2diy | bod_: Ok, this may have to go to #off-topic. Billy didn't go to BYU, and he paid $12,000 for DOS, as I understand it. | 12:27 |
| pppZero | d0tk0m, you should be pretty safe, just write down the name of the package in case you get stuck at a terminal having to install them again with apt-get ;) | 12:27 |

| ubuntuuu | Should I use the gnome version or the regular? | 12:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carrera, We all thought that from the beginning.. | 12:27 |
| bazhang | ubuntuuu: gnome is the regular ;] | 12:28 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, Gutsy shut down on configuring Apache | 12:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ubuntuuu, regular | 12:28 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, right, but then it speeds up my fans | 12:28 |
| ubuntuuu | Ok, thank you =) | 12:28 |
| ubuntuuu | hugsies | 12:28 |
| bod_ | n2diy, stop ruining my story,. it sounds better my way,.,. anyway yes if there was a util like that in ubuntu it may be usefull | 12:28 |
| bazhang | oops ubuntuuu disregard my last comment | 12:28 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, so I don't see the need for shut down | 12:28 |

| carrera | pajamian, good q! not sure. but I used an air gun from our workshop compressor either last year or 8 months ago | 12:29 |

| geirha | ubuntuuu: the "gnome one" is the regular ;) | 12:30 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, that's a great idea | 12:30 |
| pajamian | carrera: first thing I would do is blow it out again, and check to make sure all the fans are working. | 12:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | carrera, I am going to be lurking for a bit and having coffee with the wife... back in a bit ok | 12:30 |
| carrera | pajamian, did i tell u that this does not happen with Win XP, Fedora 6 or 8 | 12:30 |
| prince_jammys | Ezicc: is there a space in that path? | 12:30 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, can i pm u? | 12:30 |
| prince_jammys | Ezicc: never mind | 12:31 |
| carrera | Jack_Sparrow, have fun and say GM to the wife | 12:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | yes, but I wont answer for a bit | 12:31 |
| pajamian | carrera: nope, and so it would seem that's not the problem, but just the same it's easy enough to clean it out and check, just pop the case open and visually observe the fans. | 12:31 |
| n2diy | bod_: yes, someday you'll have to finish the story! :) But we've been put on notice, for now. | 12:32 |
| bod_ | ;~) | 12:32 |

| ygor | Hello Guys. well im trying to access my limewire folder at winxp..but my nautilus freeze .(also when i try to see a .ogg file on my home user). and if i force a closing..my desktop goes out of icons..and i cant do anything on my gutsy.so i need to restart..does any1 know what is that? | 12:33 |
| prince_jammys | Ezicc: how come your first command doesn't mention theh subdirectory /home/support and your fstab does? | 12:33 |
| n2diy | How do you wipe a hard drive from the CLI in linux? Something like the DOS debug routine? | 12:33 |
| geirha | ygor: well, it's odd that nautilus freezes like that. Nautilus is the program that draws the icons on the desktop, so if you hit ALT+F2 and run nautilus when the icons dissapear, they should come back | 12:33 |

| nikitis | or just reboot | 12:58 |
| yao_ziyua1 | Odd-rationale: now i highly suspect it is due to pidgin | 12:58 |

| ArthurArchnix | Viktorious: Unfortunately, Linux does not have a media player that requires 80MB downloads every three days and tells you what devices you are allowed to use to play it. The best that Linux has is Amarok, Exaile or Rythmbox. | 13:00 |
| Viktorious | u just click add music and organises it awesome | 13:00 |
| n2diy | AQ_LIVE: Could it already be installed? | 13:00 |

| AQ_LIVE | how come that when I want to install programs some of them are grayed out? I can't install firefox for instance | 13:00 |
| CaBa| | Viktorious: amarok offers the most features. if u look for something small that looks like winamp 1.x and has even less features take xmms | 13:01 |
| n2diy | AQ_LIVE: Could it already be installed? | 13:01 |
| AQ_LIVE | it's not installed | 13:01 |
| Viktorious | the new winamp is nice | 13:01 |
| CaBa| | Viktorious: dont expect something like that from xmms :)) | 13:01 |
| ArthurArchnix | Viktorious: If you decide to go with Exaile don't use the version in the repos. The deb available from the website is more feature rich and stable. | 13:02 |

| Dr_willis | Ive seen where often when installing stuff,, the menus dont get updated right then. You have to log off/back on. | 13:05 |
| Odd-rationale | Why is ubotu not talking in #xubuntu? | 13:06 |

| Cyntrox | Hey, anyone know how I can play .rm files? | 13:06 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, you installed the bnvidia drivers with the restricted-manager tool? | 13:06 |
| carrera | thanks dns53, i just burned the alternate iso with ubuntu on my laptop. I hope it created a bootable CD | 13:06 |
| Odd-rationale | ArthurArchnix: :( | 13:06 |
| orkun | Cyntrox: i had some issues with that but solved it | 13:06 |
| carrera | dns53, a burn window poped up as soon as i inserted the blank CD | 13:07 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, yes i have tryed so many things its crazy im about to give up on ubuntu | 13:07 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: how did you solve them? | 13:07 |
| orkun | first try out the official real player. maybe it might be downloadable | 13:07 |
| egoleo | i couldnt solve | 13:07 |
| orkun | but at last i sticked to mplayer | 13:07 |
| orkun | with all the codecs installed | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, gettting my nvidia cards going under linux takes me all of.. 50 sec.. :) thats counting the download time. | 13:07 |
| egoleo | there are some values there | 13:07 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, whats your EXACT nvidia card? | 13:07 |
| wers | how do I upgrade my Gutsy to gnome 2.222 | 13:07 |
| wers | ? :D | 13:07 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, Nvidia 5500 | 13:07 |
| orkun | it can play real media and if you work around with the video output options and enable zoom you can even use proper fullscreen for streams like http://ocw.mit.edu | 13:08 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, or u can call it Nvidia GeForce 5 series | 13:08 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, You may want to check the forums to see if any others have had issues that that card. I got a 5500 in one of my older machines. (i think) i just isntalled the nvidia-glx driver package for it. and away it goes. | 13:08 |
| egoleo | plse someone help me fix this resolution issue | 13:08 |
| nikitis | How come xmms won't save the ID3 information for music? | 13:08 |

| n2diy | I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone. I can read and write to the card with no problems, once the Dapper sees that card. The problem is, it takes hours for Dapper to find the card in my reader. It is a standard Sandisk SD 256m card, Ideas? | 13:08 |

| shujin2 | How can I tell ubuntu NOT to load a specific module...? | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | !blacklist | shujin2 | 13:09 |
| ubotu | shujin2: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 13:09 |
| Viktorious | does anyone know if i can minimize to awn liek a viedo and it will play in the bar | 13:09 |
| Dr_willis | Viktorious, doubtfull. | 13:10 |
| shujin2 | thank you | 13:10 |
| AQ_LIVE | n2diy -- How do i fix the problem if it's only the icons tha are missing | 13:10 |
| n2diy | AQ_LIVE: I don't know! I just live with the fact that some programs have to be run from the command line. :/ | 13:10 |
| dns53 | techt0nix you want the video using ascii art? try the aalib plugin for vlc | 13:10 |
| GarulfoUnix | Hello everybody | 13:10 |
| Dr_willis | AQ_LIVE, you have tried logging out and back in? | 13:10 |
| orkun | is awn included in hardy heron btw | 13:10 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, when i boot with the Nvidia when grub counts down it just says "Out of Range" | 13:10 |
| orkun | i read about that some months ago | 13:10 |
| GarulfoUnix | i've a problem with Totem to read a DVD | 13:10 |
| AQ_LIVE | ok thanks | 13:10 |
| GarulfoUnix | when i'm trying to read a DVD, Totem return me an error about "ressources" | 13:11 |
| === ccooke_ is now known as ccooke | ||
| AQ_LIVE | so what do you write when you want to use firefox? | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, aha. That sounds like your monitor settings are not correct.. Not the video card. The card may be trying to use a res higher then what the monitopr can handle. | 13:11 |
| usuario5863 | hiii | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | AQ_LIVE, err.. 'firefox' :) | 13:11 |
| nixar | quick question: does ubuntu support (as in, is officially supported) root partition on LVM? | 13:11 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis and how do i fix that? | 13:11 |
| AQ_LIVE | lol that's it :D nice | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | !fixres | techt0nix | 13:11 |

| AQ_LIVE | bye every one | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, of course.. some of the other fix's you may have tried.. may have goofed other stuff up. | 13:11 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, you have a lcd or crt monitor? | 13:12 |
| amenado | nixar i dont think so. as most tutorials i saw suggested a separate /boot partition | 13:12 |
| n2diy | AQ_LIVE: firefox | 13:12 |
| techt0nix | Dr-willis, i cant boot it in recover mode either it brings a long list of text down and last line is work_notifysig+0x13/0x25 | 13:12 |
| ericttt | who weet how I can these examine? here only gives cubes to see linkje http://media.rtl.nl/web/components/films/rtlvideo/film/playlists2/woensdag_flodder_in_amerika_p01.avi.mimedia_wm_800k_v9_av_film.asx | 13:12 |
| nixar | amenado: grub doesn't support LVM so that's understandable, but I'm talking about root (/) | 13:12 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, 19" LCD | 13:12 |
| nixar | not boot | 13:12 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, if you can get to a login: , and login, you can try fixing things from the terminal. in various ways. - | 13:12 |
| Cyntrox | I have now downloaded RealPlayer10GOLD.bin for linux... What am I supposed to do with it? Sorry, I'm new to Ubuntu... | 13:12 |
| nixar | i believe if it is it's on the "server" install, is there a way to run the server install wihtout booting from alt cd? | 13:13 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis im in Ubuntu right now just in on my onboard video card | 13:13 |
| dns53 | i have my root and /home on a lvm, you need a seperate /boot but after that it does not matter | 13:13 |
| nixar | thx dn | 13:13 |
| nixar | thx dns53 | 13:13 |
| orkun | Cyntrox: thats the thing i could not even do | 13:13 |
| orkun | Cyntrox: now open a terminal | 13:14 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, so you are powering off and installing the nvidia card, and booting up to test it out every so often? | 13:14 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: Okay | 13:14 |
| nixar | dns53: how did you do the install, ubiquity does not seem to speak LVM | 13:14 |
| orkun | expect it to be in the same folder then write ./Realbluh to just execute it | 13:14 |
| orkun | the important thing is the dot slash before | 13:14 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, yes when i try a new thing i power off then go change my BIOS | 13:14 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: Okay, thanks | 13:14 |
| dns53 | use the alternate install cd, you can also use it to set up software raid and possibly an encrypted partition | 13:15 |
| shujin2 | anybody got any experience of Madwifi/Ndiswrapper? Got some serious problems here with a DWL 650 + | 13:15 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, Icky. Your constant changing may be really confusing the xorg.conf file also. | 13:15 |
| orkun | if it is not executable you want to use chmod +x Realbluh before | 13:15 |
| Taggard | I'm trying to use cplay, a command line MP3 player and it can't find any players to play MP3 or FLAC files, does anyone know any? | 13:15 |
| sinbox | Cyntrox why real player though? it's evil | 13:15 |
| Cyntrox | sinbox: to play .rm files... | 13:15 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, i even tryed to blacklist my onboard video card and nvidia would still not load up | 13:15 |
| Witpaard | smokeyd: Dolfie! | 13:15 |
| Shoopuf | How do I modify my current partitions in Windows XP to get ready to dual-boot Ubuntu? | 13:15 |
| orkun | because it is easyer to play all real media files with a working real player than with mplayer | 13:15 |
| GarulfoUnix | Xine is better than GStream engine ? | 13:15 |
| sinbox | Cyntrox, fair answer :) is there no alternative on Linux like there is on windows? | 13:16 |
| orkun | yes, mplayer - and vlc for audio | 13:16 |
| Cyntrox | sinbox: Not that I've seen... | 13:16 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, it may be loading.. but just usign the wrong monitor config. You can always edit the xorg.conf to use the 'nv' driver instead of the 'nvidia' drivers to get a desktop. but the nvidia drivers are needed for full use of the card. | 13:16 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: It tells me ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 13:16 |
| n2diy | I'm helping a friend put audio files on is Motorola i880 cell phone. I can read and write to the card with no problems, once the Dapper sees that card. The problem is, it takes hours for Dapper to find the card in my reader. It is a standard Sandisk SD 256m card, Ideas? | 13:16 |
| sinbox | vlc wasn't doing very well with rm files the last time I checked about a year ago, but that was the windows version | 13:16 |
| MinusSeven | Will Ubuntu 7.10 update to gnome 2.20? | 13:17 |
| orkun | try sudo apt-get install helix-player before | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | !find libstdc | 13:17 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, "nv" driver will not get past "out of range" also | 13:17 |
| ubotu | Found: libstdc++5, libstdc++5-3.3-dev, libstdc++6, libstdc++6-4.1-dbg, libstdc++6-4.1-dev (and 16 others) | 13:17 |
| orkun | it should hopefully install all the necessary libraries | 13:17 |
| N0fx | yop | 13:17 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, that makes it sound even MORE like its a monitor config issue. not a video card issue. | 13:17 |
| sinbox | MinusS | 13:17 |
| sinbox | MinusSeven, my 7.10 has gnome 2.20 | 13:17 |
| MinusSeven | how did you update? | 13:18 |
| n2diy | N0fx: qsl? | 13:18 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: Still doesn't work | 13:18 |
| MinusSeven | Just the update program? | 13:18 |
| orkun | if not you will have to install all of them manually using sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 etc | 13:18 |
| sinbox | I didn't MinusSeven it was just there | 13:18 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, may be i kinda thought maybe the video card is making the monitor use a res that is to high | 13:18 |
| orkun | do you know how to handle apt? | 13:18 |
| sinbox | or probably the auto update did it after the initial install | 13:18 |
| MinusSeven | ok | 13:18 |
| orkun | for installing stuff? | 13:18 |
| MinusSeven | brb | 13:18 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, in theory the video cards now a days query the monitor, to see what modes they can handle. ive not seen a mode out of range, on a lcd monitor in years.. | 13:19 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: Only the simple apt-get install foobar | 13:19 |
| orkun | yes - you can and will have to install all the missing libraries manually using apt | 13:19 |
| MinusSeven | how do I see what version is running? | 13:19 |
| orkun | or switch to mplayer | 13:19 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: It says it can't find libstdc... | 13:19 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, you could always edit the xorg.conf and tell it exactly what mode to use. Or use the various X config tools to select a nice safe mode. and ifit works. backup the xorg.conf file, then start tweaking it. | 13:19 |
| sinbox | MinusSeven, System > about gnome | 13:19 |
| MinusSeven | ok | 13:20 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, well thats my only guess it only does "out of range" when trying to boot with nvidia | 13:20 |
| orkun | how about "apt-cache search libstdc" | 13:20 |
| orkun | u should get a huge list of libs :> | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, is this a dvi conected lcd or vga connected? | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | orkun, <ubotu> Found: libstdc++5, libstdc++5-3.3-dev, libstdc++6, libstdc++6-4.1-dbg, libstdc++6-4.1-dev (and 16 others) | 13:20 |
| techt0nix | dr_willis, vga | 13:20 |
| Dr_willis | I bet it wants libstdc++5 | 13:20 |
| orkun | then do "sudo apt-get install libstdc++5, libstdc++5-3.3-dev" | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | techt0nix, bummer that you dont have a dvi cable/connection. dvi seems to make the mode reporting much smarter. | 13:21 |
| orkun | the second one could be bloating and unnecessary(as i am also new to linux) but cannot be a harm | 13:21 |
| Dr_willis | orkun, no need for the , and no need for the -dev pckage either. | 13:21 |
| orkun | right ^^ copy paste sry | 13:22 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: Thanks, trying now... | 13:22 |
| Dr_willis | well its bed time for me.. Night all.... | 13:22 |
| orkun | so just do sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 | 13:22 |
| techt0nix | Dr_willis, come to think of it it has one i can use | 13:22 |
| egoleo | my resolution still at 800*600 | 13:22 |
| techt0nix | well he left | 13:22 |
| egoleo | someone help me plse | 13:22 |
| Cyntrox | orkun: Yeah, it's taking one hell of a lot of time though.. | 13:22 |
| orkun | but you could have to go on and on installing libraries because real screwed up :> | 13:23 |
| Cyntrox | Mhm... What worries me is that it's still on 0%. | 13:23 |

| Jack_Sparrow | pubo, Everest is a windows tool that can provide info like that, I do not know of one for linux that can. Everest runs under wine but does not give as much info as undoer windows | 13:34 |

| lunaphyte_ | if the installer disc can create lvm volumes, then i should certainly be able to do it if i boot from the cd, right? the tools must be on the disc somewhere... | 13:46 |

| Viden | lunch is calling .. bbl | 14:20 |
| hischild | Jack_Sparrow, what model did you have? | 14:20 |

| nraic | guys* | 14:28 |
| chlorone | ? | 14:28 |
| zicho | Jack_Sparrow: Yes i know but i dont want to move the home-directory., | 14:28 |
| ichat | zocho - what jack says + than manually parttion your harddisk to include a seperate /home partition for the next time youl need it | 14:28 |
| amenado | chlorone-> there are many tutorials on how to do this, get one going and we will assist you once you get really stuck..rather hand holding at the get go | 14:29 |
| zicho | So there is no way to just reinstall without touching the home-directory? | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zicho, Understood, but you do want to reinstall, you cant reinstall live without formatting/ "Root" and if /home is on root then you must move it if you want to dave it | 14:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | save | 14:29 |
| chlorone | amenado, i tryed many time and i google it too ;) | 14:29 |
| zicho | Jack_Sparrow: So i can just move my home-folder to root? | 14:30 |
| amenado | chrolorone tried many times? and at which portion were you having problems with? | 14:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zicho, No.. | 14:30 |
| sami | zicho: reverse that. | 14:30 |
| sami | Move home away from root | 14:30 |
| zicho | isnt there some way to create a new partition and move home there, before reinsalling? | 14:31 |
| chlorone | amenado, when i try to launch tftp it doesn't do anything each file i edit contains what forums said | 14:31 |
| sami | zicho: man fdisk | 14:32 |
| Jenson- | try filezilla? | 14:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zicho, starting over, you have a regular install without a second partition containing /home .. you need to reinstall. but you dont want to lose /home. the livecd is going to format the entire partition. Since /home is on that partition it will be lost if you do not move it .. to a usb or another partition | 14:32 |
| amenado | chlorone do you expect anything to happen after you start a tftp server? | 14:32 |
| chlorone | amenado, i think a port may be open no? | 14:32 |
| amenado | zicho-> go ahead create a new partition, mount it and copy the /home contents to it, then start install upon verification files are okay at destination | 14:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | zicho, it does not matter where you move it. If you make another partition and move home there . that will work and is a good idea | 14:33 |
| prince_jammys | zicho: you can resize your current partition, make a new partition for /home, copy your home directories there, and then reinstall, specifying what to mount where | 14:33 |
| Buzu | Jack_Sparrow: the system works great now Big thnx =) | 14:34 |

| Jack_Sparrow | KiKi_, are you trying to get more desktops for the cube? | 14:43 |
| Typhox | sami: Sorry, what's a man screen? | 14:43 |
| KiKi_ | the cube? | 14:44 |
| genii | chlorone: The dhcpd.conf file needs some changes. The range should be in same network segment as the adapter on server has.If server eth0 is 192.168.0.100 for instance, range should be something like 192.168.0.101-192.168.0.150 (example) also router entry with eth0 IP needed | 14:44 |
| amenado | lunaphyte_-> ahh.. | 14:44 |
| dgjones | KiKi_, from memory, I think its just right click and change the number of desktops to be shown, I'm not on ubuntu so can't point you exactly how to do it | 14:44 |
| prince_jammys | Typhox: the manual entry for the utility "screen" | 14:44 |
| Typhox | okay | 14:44 |

| sami | Typhox: Ok, try pressing Ctrl + q | 14:45 |

| Buntu | and what is "ACPI compatible" ? =) | 15:33 |
| stormzen | I've got a complaint about Ubuntu and I don't know the proper place to air it. I think that it's a program feature, and I see on http://www.ubuntu.com/community/reportproblem that I shouldn't report it as a bug... Who do I tell that I don't want the date and time to be dependent on a physical location, rather a time zone? This is a source of an absurd amount of distress for me, owing mostly to my difficulties of tracking time p | 15:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Buntu, Some variations of mb's need acpi=off in order to run | 15:34 |
| Pici | Buntu: if you didnt know, why did you ask? :p | 15:34 |
| Buntu | I asked because of a BIOS setting | 15:34 |
| Buntu | ACPI Aware OS | 15:34 |
| Buntu | what should it be set to? | 15:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | stormzen, May I suggest decaf and select a location in the time zone you want to be linked to | 15:35 |
| stormzen | I think that it lacks reason that I need to tell the operating system that I'm in a particular city / state / even country to get it to register me as CST. | 15:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Buntu, set to yes or true and change if you have a prob | 15:35 |

| Odd-rationale | !thanks | vignesh | 15:53 |
| ubotu | vignesh: You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 15:53 |

| SnakeFast | hischild> So here is my problem > «SnakeFast» hischild> When i do a top in my console, i see that the size of my swap is 0k | 15:54 |
| hischild | SnakeFast, if the size of your swap is ok, then what's wrong? | 15:54 |
| SnakeFast | 0 ko | 15:54 |
| JonathanD | Jack_Sparrow: got it working, thanks for the help :) | 15:54 |
| SnakeFast | And not ok ^^ | 15:54 |
| vignesh | Pici, matlab comes in 3 cds.. should i copy all the three into the system?? | 15:55 |
| Lamego | SnakeFast, have you created a swap partition during install ? | 15:55 |
| SnakeFast | Lamego> Yes, i had one before my upgrade feisty > gusty | 15:55 |
| hischild | Lamego, are you seeing something i'm not? | 15:56 |
| Pici | vignesh: er, alternatively you could temporarily symlink /bin/sh to /bin/bash instead of copying all that data to your harddrive | 15:56 |
| SnakeFast | hischild> «SnakeFast» "0 ko" and not "ok" | 15:57 |
| vignesh | Pici, can u tel me in detaill plz.. | 15:57 |

| lunaphyte_ | how do i see the uuid of a disk (wrt raid and lvm)? | 15:58 |
| zoomboot8 | peleg: I use it, what is the problem? | 15:59 |
| Pici | vignesh: sure. sudo ln -si /bin/bash /bin/sh it should ask for confirmation before doing it | 15:59 |
| vignesh | Pici, tel me in detail plz.. | 15:59 |
| vignesh | Pici, ty | 15:59 |
| SnakeFast | hischild> http://pastebin.ca/941219 | 15:59 |
| peleg | zoomboot8: I can't make it work. it says I don't have interfaces, but when I try to add I see only a blank list. | 15:59 |
| zoomboot8 | peleg: first of all, are you running it as root? you need to run wireshark as "sudo" or else you will see no interfaces | 16:00 |
| Lamego | lunaphyte_, tried ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid ? | 16:00 |
| dgjones | !blkid | lunaphyte_, Hopefully this will give you the info | 16:00 |
| ubotu | lunaphyte_, Hopefully this will give you the info: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 16:00 |
| peleg | zoomboot8: good point! no, I haven't. I'll try that. | 16:00 |

| Nikyo | Hi / I'm using Ubuntu ver 7.10 / I have ProFTP installed, and it works fine for transferring files to the local internal hard drive / My problem is that I can not transfer files to any directory on my USB external hard drive / I check the path and it is correct and the external usb hard drive is mounted. Any ideas? / Please. | 16:04 |
| Lamego | SnakeFast, swapo must be run with sudo | 16:04 |
| Lamego | swapon | 16:04 |
| hischild | SnakeFast, as Lamego said ... run it with sudo | 16:04 |
| SnakeFast | That's why i asked you to wait ^^ | 16:04 |
| SnakeFast | You can check again the paste, i updated it | 16:05 |
| Lamego | Nikyo, is it mounted with rw for the protftpd user ? | 16:05 |

| [dcr] | How can I connect to a network to pass files back and forth from computer to computer with one being Windows XP and this one Linux? | 16:06 |
| Nikyo | Lamego -> yes.. it is weird becasue it shows the files in the ftp cleint after transfering to the usb drive.. but no files are in the usb drive or andy other folders.. | 16:06 |
| Lamego | that is very odd | 16:06 |
| hischild | SnakeFast, revert back to the UUID as that would be ubuntu's standard ... | 16:06 |
| AdvoWork | hi there. how can i tell if my server is accepting connections on a certain port? | 16:06 |
| Nikyo | sorry typing to fast | 16:06 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | [dcr]: ftp? | 16:06 |
| Lamego | Nikyo, have you tried a find / -name filename ? they must be somewhere :) | 16:06 |
| hischild | SnakeFast, it might be that /dev/sda5 isn't your swap partition ... | 16:06 |
| zoomboot8 | AdvoWork: lock 'n load! | 16:07 |
| Lamego | AdvoWork, netstat -l | 16:07 |
| [dcr] | NeT_DeMoN_: guess thats my only choice? I'm just trying to pass something from my laptop with linux, to the desktop with XP | 16:07 |
| Lamego | if it's tcp, you can telnet to the port | 16:07 |
| Nikyo | I'll try from bash.. | 16:07 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | [dcr]: do you have a router? | 16:07 |
| NeT_DeMoN_ | or two different lines? | 16:07 |

| Jack_Sparrow | Javid, Issue is with vmware not with ubuntu.. I think they have a channel | 16:09 |
| hischild | SnakeFast, pastebin your fstab then again plz | 16:09 |
| AdvoWork | zoomboot8 does that mean this: unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 12700 /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432 means 5432 is open/listening | 16:10 |
| SnakeFast | http://pastebin.ca/941239 | 16:10 |

| pawan | opened now | 16:29 |
| zoomboot8 | pawan: in one of them, type "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" | 16:30 |
| fahadsadah | You mean gksudo | 16:30 |
| pawan | ok | 16:30 |
| fahadsadah | Never use sudo on a graphical app! | 16:30 |
| erUSUL | katemins5: check the output of mount to see the wich device contains the folder tree you are on | 16:30 |
| zoomboot8 | pawan: in the other terminal, type "blkid" | 16:30 |
| dgjones | fismoll8, you might need to check your bios setting to see whether it will support booting from usb | 16:30 |

| Scunizi | bloupotlood, dgjones although I'm not sure how to do it.. I think you need to set /etc/X11/xorg.conf to use the nv or vesa driver then follow the instructions on how to install the nvidia binary driver.. Envy is not alway the stable-est way to get it done.. manual is best. | 16:30 |

| dgjones | UndertakerX2, if you delete Ubuntu, you'll most likely delete the grub files (unless you installed it to a different partition which would stop your system booting completely, you're best bet is as erUSUL suggested to ask in ##windows on how to recover you mbr | 16:40 |
| zoomboot8 | pawan, from the pastebin, remove lines 15 and 16... the lines that start out as "# /dev/sdb3" and as "UUID=6368746f-2074-616b-6f65-207575696400" | 16:40 |
| UndertakerX2 | dgjones, is that on this server? | 16:41 |

| ubuntuuu | I want to install "ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run". How do I do? =) | 17:09 |
| zoomboot8 | DarkShadow_: so in "Screens and Graphics", if you click on "Screen 2" and then "Secondary Screen", you still cannot go to "extend"? | 17:09 |
| Akkeresu | Slart: I made backups of the modified files, but I can't get in to switch them out. | 17:09 |
| Slart | ubuntuuu: try this "sudo sh ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86_64.run" | 17:09 |
| Akkeresu | And, there's no terminal in the LiveCD. | 17:09 |
| === leti is now known as goldrAKE | ||
| Slart | ubuntuuu: you might have to do that with x shut down.. | 17:09 |
| bastid_raZor | ubuntulog; if you're in the same directory as that file type ./ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run | 17:09 |
| Slart | Akkeresu: try booting from a live cd and replace the files | 17:09 |
| Akkeresu | Already tried. Can't get to a terminal. | 17:10 |
| ubuntuuu | "sh: Can't open ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86_64.run" | 17:10 |
| josotosan | ààà° | 17:10 |
| ubuntuuu | =/ | 17:10 |
| Slart | bastid_raZor: and make sure the .run file is marked as executable | 17:10 |
| bastid_raZor | Slart; true, some aren't | 17:10 |
| Slart | ubuntuuu: I made a typo with the filename.. use the correct filename | 17:10 |
| === josotosan is now known as pippo | ||

| skillz | hi, i managed to move my menu bar from the top of my screen to the left by accident, but now i cant move it back becuase all the buttons and icons are in the way so i cant click anywhere that is free to drag it back to the top... is there a workaround for this? | 17:11 |
| Slart | skillz: remove something so you can get to the panel.. the clock is pretty big.. or the application menu | 17:12 |
| DRebellion | skillz, delete some buttons | 17:12 |
| balle_ | it says my password is wrong, even though it is correct :/ any way to reset my password | 17:12 |
| skillz | ok, will do | 17:12 |
| balle_ | ? | 17:12 |
| skillz | thanks | 17:12 |

| No1CaNTeL | hey guys, hoping you can help me with an anooying problem :P I currently share my dvd over my network to play movies off of through my Xbox. I setup the share just fine but the problem I run into is that once I start a video form the DVD drive over the net, the disc is locked in th edrive and when I try to eject I get a msg saying "Cannot Eject Volume: An application is preventing the volume 'data' from being ejected | 17:13 |
| No1CaNTeL | d drive, like virtualbox, and I had already turned off the xbox as well. Anyone know how to override this annoyance? | 17:13 |
| phil66 | Using Pidgin to access this chat room.When opening Pidgin in ordeer to get to chat room I have to go accounts>add/edit and disable chat and buddies then re enable. Is this a Pidgin flaw or normal procedure. Any workarounds | 17:13 |
| Slart | balle_: passwords don't just change themselves.. most of the time anyways.. what did you try to do? | 17:13 |
| No1CaNTeL | I don't see why a drive should ever be locked like that except when it is system proccesses that are being used | 17:13 |
| No1CaNTeL | tia | 17:13 |
| zoomboot8 | DarkShadow_: I have to go, but you might have more luck running the actual ati configuring program... use the command "sudo amdcccle" | 17:13 |
| DarkShadow_ | alrighty | 17:13 |
| DarkShadow_ | thanks for the help | 17:14 |
| balle_ | slart: yes well.. i am trying to update from 6.06 to 6.10 and it has asked me to enter the root password | 17:14 |
| Slart | No1CaNTeL: hmm.. isn't there a way to "force" the eject? checked the man page? | 17:14 |
| skillz | one more thing.. i have seen many screenshots of linux with a bar at the bottom that looks like the MAC OS | 17:14 |
| skillz | how can i achieve that look? | 17:14 |
| Slart | balle_: root password? ubuntu doesn't use that.. | 17:14 |
| No1CaNTeL | sorry, I'm a noober :P you have the link to the man page? | 17:14 |

| bubuntu | hi folks, is there any method to reinstall ubuntu without do format? | 17:15 |
| Slart | balle_: nope.. that's what I always tell my students.. =).. or something | 17:15 |
| Pici | brunner: dpkg -s /path/to/file | 17:15 |
| DRebellion | brunner, i'm betting either flashplugin-nonfree or gnash | 17:15 |
| balle_ | slart: to run the update program you must enter the root passwords, any thougts? | 17:15 |
| Pici | brunner: er, -S | 17:15 |
| skillz | is there a way of getting the mac OS looking bar at the bottom of ubuntu, and removing the current one? | 17:16 |
| ubuntuuu | Is there any easy way to get graphic drivers or do I actually have to spend over 4hours trying to get my tv-out to work? >:( | 17:16 |
| Slart | balle_: are you really really really sure it wants the root password.. are you following some kind of howto? | 17:16 |
| Pici | ubuntuuu: Any reason you aren't using the restricted-drivers manager? | 17:16 |
| Slart | skillz: I think it's called avant.. not sure though.. not using it myself | 17:16 |
| LSD|Ninja | the restricted rivers manager is a godsend | 17:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | drivers* | 17:17 |
| jared | has anyone heard of audio problems after installing ubuntu | 17:17 |
| ubuntuuu | Cause I don't know what it is. All my searching tells me to download drivers from ATI and use. Including this chat. | 17:17 |
| skillz | avant, is there other ones? so that i can choose? | 17:17 |
| LSD|Ninja | ubuntuuu: look in System -> Administration | 17:17 |
| balle_ | slart yea i am following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgra doing the gksu "update-man.... in the alt-f2 terminal because the regular one wouldnt | 17:17 |
| Pici | ubuntuuu: Go to System>Administration>Restricted Drivers | 17:17 |
| v3ctor | skillz: avant window navigator | 17:17 |
| Slart | skillz: there are many.. one uses cairo.. cairo-dock or something.. then there's avant.. and one is a desklet I think.. | 17:17 |
| skillz | slart: which one is best do u recomened? | 17:18 |
| LSD|Ninja | you should also be told quite loudly that you have hw that needs restricted (god I hate that term) drivers. Dunno how you missed it. | 17:18 |
| Slart | balle_: gksu wants your user password.. not the root password | 17:18 |
| balle_ | hmm, sec | 17:18 |
| balle_ | gksu "update-manager -c" | 17:18 |
| Slart | skillz: I recommend you google around and try them.. I don't use any of those | 17:18 |
| balle_ | damn... | 17:18 |
| v3ctor | skillz: i have been really happy with awn | 17:19 |
| balle_ | slart: it does say that it wants the root password, and i don't like it either | 17:19 |
| Slart | balle_: and it doesn't matter if you use alt+f2 or alt+f4 or any of the f1-f6 keys.. it's the same | 17:20 |
| balle_ | slart: well, alt-f4 closes the x-chat window. | 17:20 |
| Slart | balle_: sorry.. ctrl+alt+f1 up to ctrl+alt+f6.. | 17:21 |
| Slart | balle_: once you're out in the black you can use alt+f1-f7 to switch | 17:21 |
| No1CaNTeL | Slart: I found the options but being a complete nix noob, I'm not sure which flags I should be using with the command, would you mind giving an example if it is not too much trouble?? I've tried man eject -r cdrom0 but nothing happens | 17:21 |
| Pici | balle_: try gksudo instead of gksu | 17:21 |
| balle_ | slart: ahh between terminals? nifty | 17:21 |
| hischild | No1CaNTeL, dont use man in front of a command, it'll try to find a manual for it. | 17:21 |
| Slart | balle_: yes.. you've got a couple of those to play around with | 17:22 |
| Slart | No1CaNTeL: one second.. I'll take a look | 17:22 |
| brunner | I've uninstalled gnash and flashplugin-nonfree, but ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is still installed. What's the proper way to uninstall it? | 17:22 |
| No1CaNTeL | ahh, gotchya :P one sec | 17:22 |
| No1CaNTeL | it sayst he device is busy | 17:22 |

| No1CaNTeL | not anymore, this is the problem, I share the drive to play vieos off of it over smb through my xbox, it's like the xbox doesnt release or something, even after the xbox has been reset/powered off | 17:23 |
| Hammer89 | bazhang: lol... thanks **why didn't I think of that** :P | 17:23 |
| Slart | balle_: that was fast.. everything worked now? root password and all? | 17:23 |
| balle_ | slart: well now i have a buck load of problems causing me to be unable to update my system something with -1 | 17:23 |
| No1CaNTeL | I've had to keep logging off to fix the issue, which gets tedius | 17:23 |
| balle_ | slart: no root needed | 17:24 |
| balle_ | correction: something with -w | 17:24 |
| No1CaNTeL | the only other app is virtualbox, but that should not cause issues | 17:24 |
| Slart | No1CaNTeL: doesn't seem to be a "force" option.. I guess you'll have to stop sharing the drive before you can unmount it.. sounds unpractical.. | 17:24 |
| ethan961 | No1CaNTel, can you unmount then mount again? | 17:24 |
| Slart | balle_: ok.. as long as it works =) | 17:24 |
| ethan961 | nvm | 17:24 |
| No1CaNTeL | how do I go about doing that? | 17:24 |
| balle_ | slart: could this be because ubuntu is not running on my -c or something? i know the partitions are numbered but anyway | 17:24 |
| No1CaNTeL | or maybe how to find out which program is still accessing the drivE? | 17:25 |

| matthew_ | small shell. | 17:35 |
| Slart | !dash | 17:35 |
| ubotu | /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 17:35 |
| erUSUL | DavidCraft: right clicl add to panel | 17:35 |
| No1CaNTeL | I can understand that when installing an app and you hit eject, but for when the drive is not being used, I should not be locked out of it, or even if it is in use and idle I should not be locked out , imho at least | 17:35 |
| matthew_ | quick to create a dash process. uses less memory. used in init scripts. | 17:35 |

| damjan | Devo: depends on "better"... it's a minimalistic shell | 17:37 |

| phil66 | Help with Pidgin | 17:38 |
| Slart | Devo: bash is what you get when you run a terminal.. with command completion etc.. but all these features aren't needed if you're just going to run a script.. so for that we have dash.. or sh.. that uses less memory and is a bit faster I presume | 17:38 |

| Al-Hur | I have a cd with an autorun exe. I want to run it in ubuntu. Wine is installed. What do I do next? | 18:25 |
| j2^ | I am confused about i386/amd64 versions. The webpage says that i386 should be used "for newer apples", which to me indicates "Core Processors". AMD64 says "use this if you have a 64-bit processor".. .which the Core2 is... So, what do i really want for a Core2Quad? | 18:25 |

| balle_ | jack_sparrow i'm staying put but i have already open the root for the update thingy places with the bad URLs, so if those are the right ones, a simple copy-paste would do it? please correct me | 18:26 |
| Slart | j2^: try the 64bit live cd first.. if that works.. go with it | 18:26 |
| Striking7 | Jafet: so would ctime be creation time? | 18:26 |
| unimatrix9 | Al-Hur rightclick and run with wine | 18:26 |

| hischild | j2^, unless you have a specific need for the 64bit ... like more then 4gb of ram, or specific apps ... go for the 32bit | 18:26 |
| j2^ | tritium: Will do! | 18:26 |
| tritium | j2^: there is no significant peformance gain with 64 bit, and application support on 64bit is not quite as good as on 32 bit | 18:27 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, yes those are the correct repos for the next release up from where you are... There is a degree of uncertainty here. Please do not endanger any data you cant replace.. | 18:27 |

| balle_ | Jack_sparrow so a backup is in order? | 18:27 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - That doesn't look very suspicious to me... but have you tried killing one or two of the processes and see if things stay stable? | 18:27 |
| hendrixski | how do I change the FSCK thing to only run every 50 instead of every 30 times I boot? | 18:27 |
| rano | dfcghndfcghndc | 18:27 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - do you have an ATI card? | 18:27 |
| tritium | hischild: I said not significant, not zero | 18:27 |
| unimatrix9 | Al-Hur , cd into the directory of the cdrom and then run with wine...from commandline | 18:28 |
| hischild | tritium, about 20% increase is pretty much imo | 18:28 |
| j2^ | tritium: then again, there is 8GB in this box.... | 18:28 |
| balle_ | Jack_sparrow: well the data i'm trying to change is already corrupted.. | 18:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, Backups are always in order with distro upgrade.. in my opinion Use that dapper source list.. then sudo apt-get update | 18:28 |
| melch | Anyone want to help me figure out why I can't suspend or hibernate? | 18:28 |
| balle_ | will do.. | 18:28 |
| Jafet | Striking7, it's kind of funny. Unix uses ctime as "change time", while Windows uses it as "creation time". | 18:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, please find me and let me know how you do.. or dont.. | 18:28 |
| Striking7 | Jafet: I just googled that. Yeah, bummer. | 18:28 |
| Striking7 | Jafet: trying to do some forensics on a hacked box, wondering where a suspicious perl script came from. | 18:29 |
| siakattackj | I have problem with the wireless card in my toshiba laptop A210-183.... the card as it seems is RTL8187B | 18:29 |
| tritium | hischild: I assume you're guessing on that 20%. Most don't notice any significant improvements. | 18:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, Offering the best info I have on something that old | 18:29 |
| siakattackj | I use ubuntu 7.10 | 18:29 |
| K-Rich | Striking7: i have Nvidia card (well, not card, it's a laptp, the dell e1505n which is the first ubuntu laptop from dell) and i can close all the compizones just not the compiz-real one | 18:29 |
| balle_ | Jack_sparrow duely noted, and greatly appreciated | 18:30 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich, have you looked in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 18:30 |
| conb123 | anyone have any ideas about my problem its really bugging me | 18:30 |
| melch | siakattackj have you tried ndiswrapper? | 18:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | any time | 18:30 |
| K-Rich | Striking7: nope, what should i look for | 18:30 |
| siakattackj | melch yes | 18:30 |
| siakattackj | I also tried the kernel 24 | 18:31 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich, start by looking for lines that have "!!" toward the beginning | 18:31 |
| Striking7 | Those are "oh crud we have a problem" lines | 18:31 |
| Striking7 | After that, look for "EE" lines (error) | 18:31 |
| Striking7 | or "WW" lines (warning) | 18:31 |
| hischild | tritium, i'm talking about start up time in general ... when it drops from 60 to around 45 seconds .... | 18:31 |
| damn3d | hey anyone know how to run windows games on ubuntu??? | 18:32 |
| balle_ | jack_sparrow it is done getting all the packets, what now? updating in synaptics | 18:32 |
| Odd-rationale | !wine | damn3d | 18:32 |
| ubotu | damn3d: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 18:32 |
| Jafet | Yes you can. Play Doom. | 18:32 |
| s0u][ight | how can i install tcl/tk 8.5? | 18:32 |
| siakattackj | melch i also tried the kernel 2.6.24 | 18:32 |
| smev | on a Asus Eee PC, I didn't shutdown properly (bats ran out). Now when I boot up I get the "running in low-gfx mode, cannot detect your video hardware" | 18:32 |
| damn3d | ya i know about that but not all the games can be played with that | 18:32 |
| artenius | !cadega | 18:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cadega - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, apt-get upgrade | 18:33 |
| tritium | hischild: that's likely not a kernel issue | 18:33 |
| K-Rich | Striking7: nothing has !! in front, alot have II a few have == and ** as well | 18:33 |
| Striking7 | damn3d: unfortunately until people start writing games with opengl instead of direct3d, wine won't be able to play all games. | 18:33 |
| Odd-rationale | !cedega | damn3d | 18:33 |
| ubotu | damn3d: cedega is a project based on WINE, aimed at running Windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega | 18:33 |
| Yacci | Executing "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic" gives me "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?". What doeas it mean? | 18:33 |
| melch | siakattack are you running 64 bit or 32 bit | 18:33 |
| artenius | damn3d: depends on the game, but you might try to google Cadega | 18:33 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich: Anything with WW, EE, or NI? | 18:33 |
| siakattackj | melch 64 | 18:34 |
| damn3d | ok then there s no way for me to play counter strike on linux??? warcraft works though | 18:34 |
| Striking7 | damn3d - at winehq.org there's a list of compatible games. | 18:34 |
| ADHDYoshi | /dev/sda9 33641448 31932636 0 100% /home | 18:34 |
| Jafet | You're trying to play _Windows_ games that _don't work_ in standard Win32 emulators, somehow. Don't see how that works. | 18:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !appdb | 18:34 |
| ADHDYoshi | What the heck? | 18:34 |
| Striking7 | damn3d: I've successfully played CounterStrike:Source on Linux. | 18:34 |
| ubotu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 18:34 |
| balle_ | jack_sparrow: it is asking me if i am root | 18:34 |
| ere4si | Yacci, it means you have synaptic open | 18:34 |
| ADHDYoshi | It's acting like its run out of disk space even though I have 200mb left | 18:34 |
| Yacci | oh, thx^^ | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, sudo apt-get upgrade sorry I get lazy | 18:35 |
| * ADHDYoshi was going to increase the partition later, but it seems like there's a black whole in his disk | 18:35 | |
| melch | <siakattackj> is there a 64 bit xp driver for your card | 18:35 |
| ADHDYoshi | What's going on and how do I fix it? | 18:35 |
| siakattackj | i think this is the problem because in forums other people with 32 bit and ndiswrapper had no problem | 18:35 |
| j2^ | ADHDYoshi: Most likey "root" has 200MB left, normal users cannot use that space. | 18:35 |
| balle_ | ahh | 18:35 |
| j2^ | ADHDYoshi: (root reserved space) | 18:35 |
| ADHDYoshi | It wasn't like that earlier | 18:35 |
| ADHDYoshi | but k | 18:35 |
| balle_ | Jack_sparrow and i get wiser \0/ | 18:35 |
| ADHDYoshi | Uh | 18:35 |
| ADHDYoshi | it shows the same thing in sudo | 18:35 |
| siakattackj | "is there a 64 bit xp driver for your card" that's a question?? | 18:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, fyi, if a command asks for root use sudo.. if it is a gui / graphic program use gksudo | 18:35 |
| ADHDYoshi | My system crashed recently | 18:36 |
| melch | if there is no 64 bit xp driver for your card you are out of luck unless you want to use the 32 bit version of ubuntu | 18:36 |
| Jafet | Heh, I trashed a Windows recovery partition by misspelling sdb as sda in dd. | 18:36 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - what kind of crash is it? Like, the machine freezes up? Blank screen? Any details help | 18:36 |
| ADHDYoshi | The same thing actually is going on with my other laptop... :/ | 18:36 |
| Striking7 | Jafet: Noooooouuuuuuuuuuu | 18:36 |
| ADHDYoshi | DF says there's more space left but it's 100% | 18:36 |
| Striking7 | dd can be merciless. | 18:36 |
| balle_ | jack_sparrow it apperas to be updating npw | 18:36 |
| ADHDYoshi | Any clue on how to fix this? | 18:36 |
| Jafet | I think learning unix will be an enriching experience for me. | 18:36 |
| K-Rich | Striking7: 3 font paths have EE and there is an EE where for second display device (which isn't plugged in) | 18:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | balle_, wishing you luck | 18:37 |
| Striking7 | Jafet: enriching, but not always rosey... | 18:37 |
| damn3d | i'm pretty new to the linux environment.... how do i go about knowing it better??? | 18:37 |
| balle_ | jack_sparrow gr8 thx for the help mate 1 up from me! | 18:37 |
| yogi_ | hello everyone, how do i conver vmlinux image to vmlinuz image | 18:37 |
| artenius | Can anyone help me figure out why it says "Failed to initiate Hal" when I login. It wasn't doing this yesterday and now my dvds aren't working. "Unable to open 'dvd://'" I figure they must be related. | 18:37 |
| Rudin_ | hello | 18:37 |
| Xorothal | damn3d: use it | 18:37 |
| sinbox | when I copy files over the network from a windows machine is there a way I can keep the original time+date stamp? | 18:37 |
| K-Rich | err 3 fon't paths have WW | 18:37 |
| tritium | yogi_: gzip | 18:37 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - that all sounds pretty benign. Could you tell me more about the crash? Does GDM come up before it crashes? Does the computer restart? Any detail helps | 18:38 |
| balle_ | how can i through keys change in the multiple dekstops? | 18:38 |
| Striking7 | damn3d - www.ubuntuforums.org did wonders for me. | 18:38 |
| seika | hello. I have some problems to install my ubuntu, could anyone help me? | 18:38 |
| yogi_ | tritium, thx | 18:38 |
| sinbox | balle_, alt+ctrl+ left/right | 18:38 |
| Pici | balle_: ctrl-alt-arrow left or arrow right by default | 18:38 |
| DRebellion | !ask | seika | 18:38 |
| ubotu | seika: 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. :-) | 18:38 |
| Rudin_ | the default games have disappeared. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy Heron. How can I recover them? | 18:38 |
| Pici | !hardy | Rudin_ | 18:38 |
| Striking7 | damn3d - that was my starting point. | 18:38 |
| DRebellion | Rudin_, /join #ubuntu+1 | 18:38 |
| ADHDYoshi | Hmmm | 18:38 |
| ubotu | Rudin_: 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 | 18:38 |
| tritium | Rudin_: what did you do to make them disapper? | 18:38 |
| ADHDYoshi | I see what's going on | 18:38 |
| * ADHDYoshi will increase his partition size now he guesses :/ | 18:39 | |
| Rudin_ | tritium: nothing at all | 18:39 |
| damn3d | k | 18:39 |
| K-Rich | Striking, well, it freezes with just the wallpaper showing, if i try to logout ... when i try to shut down or restart, the wallpaper shows for like a minute before it shows the shutdown bar almost to the end | 18:39 |
| tritium | Rudin_: there has to be a cause for the effect | 18:39 |
| Yacci | tritium: When I do what you wrote I get to know that linux-headers-generic is already installed.But there's no "build"-Directory in the 2.6.24-11-Directory... | 18:39 |
| balle_ | Thx | 18:39 |
| Pici | Yacci: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 18:39 |
| Yacci | 8.04 | 18:39 |
| Rudin_ | Trixsey: simply, after having installed Beta 6, they disappeared | 18:39 |
| tritium | Yacci: this channel is for 7.10 or earlier. You know that... | 18:40 |
| siakattackj | melch i don't have a problem to use a 32 bit driver if it works | 18:40 |
| Yacci | yeah | 18:40 |
| SliMM | hello | 18:40 |
| tritium | #ubuntu+1 for hardy questions, Yacci | 18:40 |
| Pici | Rudin_: Please join #ubuntu+1 for hardy/8.04 issues | 18:40 |
| Yacci | but i thought it weren't anything versionspecific | 18:40 |
| seika | well, Im completly new to linux, and I tried to install Ubuntu, but my live-cd freezes when loading. I tried the alternate cd also, same problem: it freezes on a nice blue screen | 18:40 |
| Pici | Yacci: you too | 18:40 |
| Pici | Yacci: it is. | 18:40 |
| SliMM | i am installing ubuntu and i have a problem | 18:40 |
| Yacci | aha | 18:40 |
| Yacci | thx | 18:40 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - what's up? | 18:40 |
| SliMM | the partition manager is stuck at 46%, scanning disks.. | 18:41 |
| Housefly7k | seika: how far do you get in both livecd and alternate? | 18:41 |
| melch | u can't use a 32bit driver on 64bit siaka | 18:41 |
| unimatrix9 | seika : whats the pc ? | 18:41 |
| Rudin_ | ok picy | 18:41 |
| seika | Housefly7k: I can boot on them, but when I select the "run or install", the loading bar appears, and freezes after a few seconds | 18:42 |
| SliMM | what should i do? :-( | 18:42 |
| AncientRelic | I'm trying to run gsynaptics on gutsy to control my touchpad better, but I'm getting an error message when I try to run it | 18:42 |
| unimatrix9 | seika, did you check the cdrom for errors? | 18:42 |
| JoCo | Im also trying to install ubuntu and im gettin a problemo when I start it the orange "loding bar" goes side to side and I click install ubuntu but then it spazz's out and the screen messes up and orange dots are everywhere and there anre like 3 half bars now and it freezes | 18:42 |
| JoCo | and I have tried to install in safe graphics mode as well no luck :/ | 18:42 |
| Pici | JoCo: Try the Alternate CD. | 18:42 |
| JoCo | whats the alternate cd? | 18:43 |
| AncientRelic | GSynaptics couldn't initialize. | 18:43 |
| AncientRelic | You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics | 18:43 |
| unimatrix9 | seika, does the pc hace enough ram memory? | 18:43 |
| tritium | JoCo: a text-mode installer | 18:43 |
| seika | unimatrix9: the cd is working (i'm running the live one on another pc ... md5 correct) | 18:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | JoCo, At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails repeat and add noapic acpi=off before the -- | 18:43 |
| AncientRelic | I just want to know where I stick it :) | 18:43 |
| Pici | !alternate | JoCo | 18:43 |
| ubotu | JoCo: 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 | 18:43 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - what kind of disks do you have in the computer? Do you know if they're SATA, IDE, SATA2? Do you have any kind of RAID setup? | 18:43 |
| siakattackj | melch ooooo.... i hope the problem to be solved soon | 18:43 |
| JoCo | tritium: ahh ok can i still partition it from text? | 18:43 |
| Housefly7k | seika: and in the alternate cd at which screen does it freeze? | 18:43 |
| tritium | JoCo: yes, but try what Jack_Sparrow suggests first. | 18:43 |
| SliMM | no raid, and do idea of my hdd | 18:44 |
| sluimers | hi | 18:44 |
| seika | I have the loading bars in red, then it goes to a blue screen, and freezes | 18:44 |
| siakattackj | melch although thanks a lot for helping me | 18:44 |
| seika | there is no text on the screen ... just plain blue | 18:44 |
| JoCo | wait an update - after about 5 mins of sitting here "frozen" the screen is a tan color and I can see a mouse | 18:44 |
| sluimers | I get an error every time I load any program in Ubuntu | 18:44 |
| SliMM | Striking7: i remember it had some errors about a year ago | 18:44 |
| JoCo | so am I good to go | 18:44 |
| JoCo | nvm | 18:44 |
| melch | siaka you'll need to wait for ndiswrapper to support vista drivers | 18:44 |
| sluimers | Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 18:44 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - the hard drive had some errors? Like bad sectors? | 18:45 |
| * Striking7 hopes not | 18:45 | |
| sluimers | every single time | 18:45 |
| JoCo | its working for some reason | 18:45 |
| sluimers | so it takes time for the program to load | 18:45 |
| SliMM | Striking7: yes | 18:45 |
| sluimers | What do I do? | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, How are you tring to install programs | 18:45 |
| AncientRelic | gsynaptics is giving me this error: GSynaptics couldn't initialize. | 18:45 |
| AncientRelic | You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics | 18:45 |
| siakattackj | melch ok.. i hope it won't take too long because i need the wireless | 18:45 |
| unimatrix9 | seika , whats the type pc and brand? | 18:45 |
| sluimers | ??, I start the program | 18:45 |
| sluimers | not install | 18:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, apt-get aptitude synaptic ? | 18:46 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - if it has bad sectors you may need to dance around them, which would be a really strange guessing game | 18:46 |
| K-Rich | Striking7: any ideas? | 18:46 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - you may be better off getting a new hard drive :-\ | 18:46 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich, I'm sorry, I didn't see you type anything | 18:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, ok.. | 18:46 |
| seika | unimatrix9: it's a Pentium Dual Core E2180 on a Abit Fatal1ty FPIN9 SLI mainboard | 18:46 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - I'll scroll up and try to find it. | 18:46 |
| sluimers | Wether it's nautilus, firefox, mplayer | 18:46 |
| K-Rich | ok | 18:46 |
| SliMM | Striking7: i'll stick to this one for now, can i install ubuntu on it? | 18:46 |
| sluimers | Okay, aptitude doesn't | 18:46 |
| sluimers | synaptic does | 18:47 |
| dinamizador | vbxvb | 18:47 |
| SliMM | Striking7: GParted is also scanning devices | 18:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, running nautilus from cli.. do you see the error? | 18:47 |
| sluimers | anything that requires a window I guess | 18:47 |
| SliMM | maybe it's my ipod? | 18:47 |
| sluimers | the error is always: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "atk-bridge": libatk-bridge.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 18:47 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - could be. Try unplugging it and trying again | 18:48 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - the more things we can eliminate as possible problems, the better, right? | 18:48 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - sounds like it could be an issue with GDM, not X | 18:48 |
| K-Rich | Gmmmm.... | 18:48 |
| sluimers | I also get an error when logging in, something about at-spi | 18:48 |
| K-Rich | Hmmmm.... | 18:48 |
| SliMM | should i eject the ubuntu disk? | 18:48 |
| sluimers | not being able to find it | 18:48 |
| sluimers | I've tried reinstalling libatspi but to no avail | 18:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, I dont know, but have you modified your sources, done much as root user run gui programs with sudo | 18:50 |
| unimatrix9 | seika , there are several way's you could go about trouble shooting it, but it depends on what you want, and how bad you want it, and how much you know about the inside of your pc.. | 18:50 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow , hmmmmmm | 18:50 |
| SliMM | Striking7: still not working; i mean it's not "stuck", it's obviously scanning, but i see no results; how long should i wait? | 18:50 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow , maybe, I can't remember anymore what I did | 18:50 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - you want to leave the ubuntu disk in there. | 18:50 |
| UndertakerX2 | Can i use gparted when using a Ubuntu Live CD? | 18:50 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow , it was a week ago before I notices it slows things down | 18:51 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - try restarting the installation process. | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | UndertakerX2, yes | 18:51 |
| sluimers | notices = noticed | 18:51 |
| seika | unimatrix9: I never used linux, so I don't know anything about it. But I really want to get rid of windows XP too XD | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, the more you can tell us the more we can help you | 18:51 |
| UndertakerX2 | Can i use gparted to actually resize an NFTS drive off a Live CD?* | 18:51 |
| saladdin19 | hello friends | 18:51 |
| SliMM | Striking7: GParted is not working right now | 18:51 |
| bygeceler | hiii a new I new ubuntu user | 18:51 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow , I'll check out the other error | 18:51 |
| seika | unimatrix9: So if there is anything I can try to have ubuntu working ... i'm ready to try | 18:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 18:52 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - check out /var/log/gdm/* | 18:52 |
| SliMM | Striking7: i.e. it's stuck | 18:52 |
| K-Rich | Striking7: i don;t see any error in the gdm log files | 18:52 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - I mean, restart the puter. | 18:52 |
| K-Rich | (heh funny i was just doing that :) ) | 18:52 |
| ghettokernel | hi, when i first installed ubuntu i could see my windows partitions in the desktop, but i dont know why i cant now, i turned off the computer yesterday and started it today and theres no windows partitions mounted. what can i do? | 18:52 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, Provide the pastebin link | 18:52 |

| saladdin19 | i just installed ubuntu, after my gentoo, but i don't see the really cool ubuntu OS loading progress bar thing, just a black screen when i boot...any thoughts? | 18:53 |
| Lectus | ghettokernel: see if it's in places/computer | 18:53 |
| seika | unimatrix9: i tried noapic irqpoll noirqdebug and nolapic (just following advise from someone) | 18:53 |
| Lectus | ghettokernel: it may not have an icon on the desktop | 18:53 |
| balle_ | how can i see what version of ubuntu i'm running? | 18:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | UndertakerX2, defrag.. twice.. and I prefer the stand alone version of gparted for that level of work | 18:53 |

| LMJ | Hello the chan | 18:54 |

| ghettokernel | Lectus: im using xfce | 18:54 |
| LMJ | I've setup a wifi connection from my Ubuntu Gutsy laptop to my D-link Wifi access point. From the AP, I see the laptop mac adress connected but I can't ping anything from the laptop, I suggest a conflit with the eth0 card. I guess packets want to go out with the unpluged eth0 card, is there a way to investigatee ? | 18:54 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - sorry, computer. Slang :-) | 18:54 |
| seika | the card is an XFX GeForce 8500 GT | 18:54 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow , and? | 18:54 |

| firefeather | @Bo: Did you install it in Synaptic or Add/Remove programs? | 18:56 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow, okay | 18:56 |
| Striking7 | K-Rich - try this: log out of X, then hit "ctrl+alt+f2", log in to the terminal, and use top or ps or the like to investigate what X is doing | 18:56 |
| Bo^Dick | firefeather: yup | 18:56 |

| Lectus | Bo^Dick: you can search the program in synaptic and it will offer an option to update if available | 18:57 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - haha. So are you able to boot from the live CD? | 18:57 |
| seika | thanks a lot unimatrix9 | 18:57 |

| beurself4 | k | 18:57 |
| Bo^Dick | Lectus: really | 18:57 |
| firefeather | @Bo: Update manager notifies you of updates but if you've downloaded a .deb file you trust, you can upgrade it by installing that .deb file. | 18:57 |

| Bo^Dick | firefeather: ok, the .deb method is the most attractive for me | 18:58 |
| Bo^Dick | firefeather: thanks | 18:58 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow, ??? how come? | 18:58 |
| unimatrix9 | seika , what version of ubuntu did you try? | 18:58 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit is that what you did? | 18:58 |
| saladdin19 | i just installed ubuntu, but i don't see the really cool ubuntu OS loading progress bar thing, just a black screen when i boot...(it was there during the liveCD boot, but not now after install)....any thoughts? please | 18:58 |
| sluimers | yes | 18:59 |
| firefeather | @Bo: No problem. What specifically are you wanting to upgrade? I might be able to give you a specific tip about it. | 18:59 |
| seika | unimatrix9: the 7.10, both live and alternate cds | 18:59 |

| asymptote | hi, I have a question about networking | 19:01 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, Mixing edgy feisty and unsupported repos and you say you are running gutsy ? something isnt right | 19:01 |
| saladdin19 | Slart, is it no possible to have the splash run with 64? | 19:02 |
| seika | unimatrix9: that mainboard on your link isn't the one i use | 19:02 |
| prince_jammys | saladdin19: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Fix_Slow_boot.2Ffaulty_splash_screen | 19:02 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - if your hard disk has bad sectors you may not be able to install, but you can always try I guess. | 19:02 |
| unimatrix9 | seika : knoppix is an debian livecd linux variant, its just to see if that works | 19:02 |
| unimatrix9 | http://www.knoppix.org/ | 19:02 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow, I upgraded from edgy to feisty to gutsy | 19:02 |
| asymptote | sometimes I see an ifconfig that produces "eth0.bak" - what is this connection ? | 19:02 |
| Slart | saladdin19: well.. let's blame it on the 64-bit os then.. =).. I haven't been able to use the splash screen since I upgraded to gutsy.. I don't miss it that much | 19:02 |

| asymptote | Slart, I'm trying to get help so I can successfully use Ubuntu - surely you encourage users of this operating system | 19:08 |
| Yacci | Jack_Sparrow: there i can not get a help for my problem. Maybe in a year the situation has changed and i can use my atheros-card. Maybe i would try to install an older or a newer version of the kernel. Thank you for your help. | 19:08 |

| seika | unimatrix9: i'm in the bios ... but can't find this ACPI | 19:20 |
| SliMM | Striking7: ok, so here are the boot-time errors: "[ %d.%ld] Buffer I/O error on device fd 0, logical block 0" | 19:20 |
| sfears | i have my /home directory on a separate partition.. how do i use the live cd to reinstall & use my existing /home folder | 19:21 |
| SliMM | %d and %ld being some ugly numbers | 19:21 |
| Striking7 | fd 0... isn't that a floppy drive? | 19:21 |
| * Striking7 doesn't actually know | 19:21 | |
| jif | yes | 19:21 |
| seika | it is | 19:21 |
| sfears | i do believe fd0 is floppy | 19:21 |
| Slart | fd0 was a floppy on the amiga.. =) | 19:21 |
| DRebellion | Striking7, yes | 19:22 |
| SliMM | it may be, but i have no floppy | 19:22 |
| Striking7 | Ah. Thanks | 19:22 |
| Striking7 | Hrm. | 19:22 |
| SliMM | in the floppy drive | 19:22 |
| SliMM | cool, huh? | 19:22 |
| unimatrix9 | seika : you can look at that later , first test with the noapci | 19:22 |
| bieb | I need some help with sound. I have a Gateway desktop that is running U7.10, the sound card was recognized during install, it now sounds like any noise is coming through a broken speaker, lots of noise. | 19:22 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - Ok. Well for whatever reason it's acting up. Unless you use it, try powering down the computer and just disconnecting the floppy for now. | 19:22 |
| * N3bunel brb | 19:22 | |
| Striking7 | Nobody really uses those anymore anyways, right? :-) | 19:22 |
| saladdin19 | Slart: just rebooted, Holy **** what a difference, thanks man | 19:23 |
| SliMM | i would install a 5" floppy drive if i could | 19:23 |
| karllenz_ | anyone know if getting a windows moblie phone to share an internet connection is possible | 19:23 |
| seika | unimatrix9: so i just try to start with the pci=noacpi option? | 19:23 |
| sfears | ha.. 5" | 19:23 |
| j2^ | Ohkay.. I have now learned that "Use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM" on a 2.2TB Array is... time consuming *lol* I think i will rethink that. | 19:23 |
| sfears | do they even make those anymore | 19:23 |
| SliMM | but can't i just check if that really is the floppy drive? | 19:23 |
| Slart | saladdin19: huh? ah.. the splash thingy.. | 19:23 |
| unimatrix9 | yes | 19:23 |
| bieb | saladdin19: what did you do? | 19:23 |
| unimatrix9 | When you boot from the installation CD, it gives you a boot menu with 6 options: "Start or install Ubuntu", "Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode", "Install with driver update CD", ... | 19:23 |
| unimatrix9 | Highlight the fist option, "Start or install Ubuntu" and then press F6. A text must appear in the screen that says "Boot Options: casper initrd=/casper/initrd.gz quiet splash --" | 19:23 |
| saladdin19 | karllenz_: yes tis possible | 19:23 |
| SliMM | because i've never opened my computer | 19:24 |
| sfears | i have my /home directory on a separate partition.. how do i use the live cd to reinstall & use my existing /home folder | 19:24 |
| saladdin19 | Slart, yea, but my boot time was in the minutes, now its down to seconds | 19:24 |
| karllenz_ | saladdin19: any resource you can point me in the direction in? | 19:24 |
| SliMM | and i'd rather not | 19:24 |
| seika | unimatrix9: so i just put this option after the two -- ? | 19:24 |
| steven_ | join /#latex | 19:24 |
| saladdin19 | bieb: for windows mobile or splash thingy | 19:24 |
| bieb | splash thing | 19:24 |
| seika | unimatrix9: can i do it two with the alternate cd? (my live cd is in another pc XD) | 19:25 |
| ere4si | sfears, the live cd's gparted will see that partition - just select it and then mount it as /home | 19:25 |

| mitch_ | and suspend | 19:25 |
| saladdin19 | bieb: worked miracles | 19:25 |
| saladdin19 | now if i could only figure it out for my gentoo | 19:25 |
| bieb | does it turn the splash screen off? | 19:25 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - if you can get into your bios you could try disabling it from there. | 19:25 |
| saladdin19 | on the contrary, it turns it on | 19:26 |
| unimatrix9 | seika : here is an website so you can get some info on it all https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions | 19:26 |
| ere4si | sfears, it won't - unless you force it to be formatted | 19:26 |
| sfears | ok | 19:26 |
| bieb | hmm | 19:26 |
| SliMM | Striking7: well, could i install some new bios or smth like that? | 19:26 |

| El1 | Hey guys anyone have some experience with wine? I've already got it up and running but my keyboard isn't working | 19:27 |
| Striking7 | SliMM - I would not recommend installing a new BIOS - if something goes wrong your motherboard is a paperweight. | 19:27 |
| Bitmess | I enabled gutsy-backports in software sources now it wants to update a lot of packages. Should I do this? will it break something? | 19:27 |

| rm | thanks | 19:30 |
| firefeather | @GeorgeA: Looks like you've got mouse keys on | 19:30 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, how do i turn that off? | 19:30 |
| karllenz_ | saladdin19: thank you , you have been very helpful | 19:30 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: You can turn it off in accessibility options | 19:30 |
| saladdin19 | karllenz_: pass it forward my friend, hopefully you can get it to work | 19:30 |
| karllenz_ | sure | 19:30 |
| karllenz_ | will do | 19:30 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, it's not enabled (accessibility options) | 19:30 |
| Bitmess | Is it bad to install gutsy-backports | 19:31 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: Dang...I'm not on my linux box right now. What does the error box say? | 19:31 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, mmm i enabled it, and disabled mouse keys, and it worked.. thanks a lot :) | 19:31 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: Oh, good. No problem! :) | 19:31 |
| nandasunu | how can I enable the window burning when I close a window? | 19:31 |
| nandasunu | I can't figure out how the annotate plugin settings work | 19:32 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, it's quite weird, it's grayed out... but it's like enabled by default.. btw, it usually changes randomly alone.. I donno why | 19:32 |
| firefeather | nandasunu: You can do it under the Compiz Settings Manager under "Animations" | 19:32 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, usually it works normally, then i stop using pc, and come back, and my numpad messes up! | 19:32 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: You might check to see if it has a shortcut key associated. That's odd | 19:32 |
| anthony | Has anyone set up NIS on Ubuntu before? I'm trying to transfer the configuration from a Fedora 4 box and don't really know how it works. | 19:33 |
| nandasunu | firefeather: I\ve tried adding the burn effect there and it doesn't do anything | 19:33 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, in the keyboard shortcuts? | 19:33 |
| nandasunu | is there a specific way to get it working? | 19:33 |
| firefeather | nandasunu: Which list did you add it to? | 19:33 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: I don't think so, I think it's there in accessibility. | 19:33 |
| hischild | nandasunu, you have to hold down a button/key for it | 19:33 |
| nandasunu | close | 19:33 |
| XXer | I just installing Win Home Server and I was trying to add a 500GB hd that was full of tv shows and mp3 but what happend was it made it into "not quite sure..like one big drive" and all the files on the 500GB drive were gone. So I shut it down (swar off MS for ever) loaded my ubuntu disk and here I am. Is there anything I can do to get the files back.I know the hd was not reformated because it only took 2s for this to all happen | 19:34 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: But go ahead and try keyboard shortcuts menu because I think I saw some extra accessibility options there | 19:34 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, I am checking. | 19:34 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, nothing about shortcuts in accessibility. | 19:34 |
| firefeather | nandasunu: Could it be that you have it in the list of random animations rather than associating a window with it? (Sorry if I'm not being helpful) | 19:35 |
| artenius | nandasunu: look in ccsm, animations, goto the minimize tab and make sure "burn" is at the top | 19:35 |
| artenius | nandasunu: it must be at the top of the list in there | 19:35 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: Try the Keyboard Shortcuts menu then (or was that what you were just checking)? | 19:35 |
| archman | guys anyone knows of any rar password crack tools? I'm slowly starting to #&#$#%....!!! | 19:35 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, yeah that's what i was checking.. couldn't find anything there either... | 19:35 |
| nandasunu | artenius, its at the top, but nothing | 19:36 |
| nandasunu | do I need to set some window settings? | 19:36 |
| artenius | what does it say for window type? | 19:36 |
| nandasunu | the other effects have a bunch of stuff under "window match" | 19:36 |

| testic | I am a new Ubuntu user and I am having problems ejecting a CD. I have pressed the eject button on the drive, I have right-clicked the cd-rom desktop item and chosen "eject", I have run the "eject" command, all to no avail. any help? | 19:36 |
| nandasunu | (I remember this being a lot easier with beryl) | 19:36 |
| hischild | testic, are you running the live cd? | 19:36 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: I'm not sure then. If I were in your situation, unless nobody else knows here, the forums might yield some info. | 19:36 |
| kosak | reboot then eject | 19:36 |
| ScorpKing | testic: try sudo eject | 19:37 |
| kosak | that too | 19:37 |
| artenius | nandasunu: I meant window match yes, it should have the same entries as the others | 19:37 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, you put me on the right track, am currently googling the accessibility issue :) | 19:37 |
| testic | hischild, no, this is a normal bootup. the CD that is in is one I was using in Windows about 10 minutes ago | 19:37 |
| firefeather | testic: Only do sudo eject if you're not on the live CD | 19:37 |
| nandasunu | ok, I'll try copying the settings | 19:37 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: Thanks. I'm glad I can help | 19:37 |
| SliMM | should gparted output the errors to stdout / stderr? | 19:37 |
| testic | ScorpKing, sudo eject does nothing | 19:37 |
| bieb | testic: is there something that is keeping the Cd mounted? ie, file explorer | 19:37 |
| ScorpKing | testic: any error messages? | 19:37 |
| testic | bieb, I have no idea. the first thing I wanted to do after bootup was to eject the cd | 19:38 |
| kosak | might need to > to.txt ? | 19:38 |
| testic | ScorpKing, no error messages at all | 19:38 |
| archman | any rar password recovery tools for linux? | 19:38 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, at first i found a solution that said i need to use gconf-editor and check some keyboard issues and numlock stuff there, but i think that worked by chance :) because it didn't always work. This fixed it, now I just need to find the source. :) | 19:38 |
| opera159 | test | 19:38 |
| nandasunu | artenius: Its working now :), I just copied the window match stuff from the other effects | 19:38 |
| nandasunu | thanks | 19:38 |
| bieb | testic: are there any windows currently open on your system? | 19:38 |
| wpk | archman: for dos, under dosemu | 19:38 |
| artenius | nandasunu: good :) you're welcome. I had problems with that too at first | 19:38 |
| archman | wpk: what's the program name? | 19:38 |
| kosak | whats the name of the small amarok player ? minirock/ | 19:39 |
| kosak | ? | 19:39 |
| testic | bieb, I have a few windows open, would you like me to list them? | 19:39 |
| ScorpKing | testic: weird.. it might be faster to just reboot and take out the cd then, but that won't show you why it's not ejecting. | 19:39 |
| wpk | archman: use google | 19:39 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: Just a thought; do you plug in or unplug any hardware (especially a USB keyboard) in between times it happens? | 19:39 |
| nandasunu | the old dialogue used to be much simpler | 19:39 |
| kosak | i did | 19:39 |

| GeorgeA | firefeather, am starting to think maybe 'ctrl' key being pressed a lot, because i usually vnc to this pc, and i use google desktop, so i use ctrl a lot, it could be if i hold ctrl a lot it starts it. | 19:43 |
| ScorpKing | testic: do you only have one hard drive? | 19:43 |
| wpk | archman: use dos program for password cracking under dosemu | 19:43 |
| testic | ScorpKing, there are 2 hard drives, though I am not sure if the second is mounted | 19:44 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, or something related to that! | 19:44 |
| firefeather | GeorgeA: That might do it, esp. if you push control and decide against it, thus pushing "Ctrl" a lot without anything else before or after. | 19:44 |
| ScorpKing | testic: just mount | 19:44 |
| GeorgeA | firefeather, yeah most likely.. at least now i know how to deactivate it :) | 19:44 |
| ScorpKing | testic: if you pipe it to grep you might miss it | 19:44 |
| testic | ScorpKing, well I tried just mount, and it doesnt show anything that looks like a cd drive | 19:45 |

| genii | sinbox: If you already have desktop version and want server version, use command tasksel and then choose to install ubuntu-LAMP | 19:56 |
| Jack_Sparrow | hischild, the base install of desktop has full gnome etc.. I thought that is what he wanted to avoid | 19:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | chazco, If that is all you did fsck should fix it | 20:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !fsck | 20:00 |
| 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 | 20:00 |

| Some_Person | ahmedh724: alt cd is an installer cd without live cd. it uses text-based installer | 20:36 |
| erUSUL | laura: only if the castling is "allowed" e.g you have not moved the king nor the rook you are not in check etc... | 20:36 |
| DaemonLee | LMJ: Did you get my query? | 20:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, livecd sometimes takes quite awhile to figure out your partitions... You can run partition editor from the livecd desktop menus and avboid the installer too | 20:36 |
| asymptote | renfrew, I found something on the teewars forum - I'll go from there | 20:37 |
| LMJ | yes, you asked me if I was still here a couple of minutes ago | 20:37 |
| renfrew | asymptote: I take it that Teewars down't have its own .desktop files so that it gets autoadded to the menu by apt | 20:37 |
| laura | erUSUL, yes It is working 10q! :) | 20:37 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: partition editor gets stuck too | 20:37 |
| ahmedh724 | Some_Person: nut why can't i run my live cd on pc | 20:37 |
| asymptote | renfrew, I don't see a .desktop file for teewars | 20:37 |
| Some_Person | ahmedh724: i cant answer that without more details | 20:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, download gparted livecd would be my suggestion | 20:38 |
| asymptote | renfrew, if you're interested, this is precisely what is happening: http://www.teewars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=621 | 20:38 |
| renfrew | I think its should be in /usr/share/menu | 20:38 |

| asymptote | Some_Person, thank you - I know about this, but it rarely works or is properly configured as opposed to a program that auto-installs to the menu | 20:39 |
| renfrew | yeah.. some packages don't have the necessary menu files, it should get run as part of the install.. that menu update hook | 20:39 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, if anything, perhaps I could learn how to properly add files to the menu | 20:40 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: it doesn't freeze or something, but i think there are too many devices; i can't really boot from a cd unless wubi is for all bootable CDs; even if i format and partition my hdd with gparted, i still need to get past the "starting partition manager" screen in the installer, which doesn't work that well -- i would be glad if i could just skip that screen and pass /dev/sda directly to the installer | 20:40 |
| Some_Person | asymptote: well, it only doesn't appear in menu if a .desktop file isn't included. it should go to /usr/share/applications | 20:40 |
| Some_Person | asymptote: usually "Main Menu" works for me for adding new entries | 20:40 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, Sorry.. you never mentioned wubi... I personally hate that program and would never recommend or support it | 20:40 |
| ahmedh724 | Some_Person: my pc is of 1.7 gigs intl celeron processor 256 sdram 128 geforce mx 4000 and 160 gigs hd older ata and aopen dvd writer and when i press on the install or run ubuntu item in the boot screen of the live cd it gives me some loading not splash screen then i get busybox....initramfs..and something like command prompt i tried what jack sparrow told me by deleting quiet splash and i failed then i removed it and added noapic acpi=off and also | 20:41 |
| ahmedh724 | i got nothing but it stops at initramfs | 20:41 |
| lunaphyte_ | i've just updated from 7.0.4 to 7.1 using do-release-update, and now i get a kernel panic when i boot: http://i25.tinypic.com/25sym8g.jpg . this computer is using lvm on top of raid1 md devices. what might the problem be? | 20:41 |
| Some_Person | ahmedh724: what error do you get? if no error, what is the last thing you see? | 20:41 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, if you're interested - the picture denoted in this topic: http://www.teewars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=621 is happening when I launch from the menu and not from the console | 20:41 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: i don't know what that is, but it helped me boot from the live cd, since my bios is somehow broken | 20:41 |
| ahmedh724 | Some_Person: i can't remeber but it contains data 0x00 ......... | 20:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, Starting from the beginning, what cd do you have | 20:42 |
| kees_ | I've went through a lot of trouble to set up my own account exactly the way I want. Is there an easy way to make every new account exactly like it? | 20:42 |
| Some_Person | asymptote: try making a shell script to cd to the dir and then run it, and make a menu item to run that | 20:42 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: 7.10 live & install cd, up and running | 20:43 |
| lunaphyte_ | if i bot from the live cd and start a recovery shell, how can i mount a filesystem that is on an lvm logical volume? | 20:43 |
| ahmedh724 | Some_Person: or i can't understand what is the error | 20:43 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, I don't know how to shell script :( | 20:43 |
| Some_Person | ahmedh724: that tells me very little, except that it is unlikely that the live cd will work | 20:43 |
| stormzen | I need to backup a number of files to DVD. I'd like to be able to point a utility to the files and have it span disks as needed. Is there a utility that ill do that? | 20:43 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, that's one of my long-term goals | 20:43 |
| Jadd76 | Got a SAGEM 800 usb modem here, the instructions on the wiki apply to Edgy and Feisty, do they apply to Hardy? | 20:43 |
| Some_Person | asymptote: i learned in about 10 minutes, just google | 20:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, How did you boot it? | 20:43 |
| DaemonLee | Aight. I got a problem, I put in my wireless card in my ExpressCard slot (Belkin N1 ExpressCard), and it's recongized as a Atheros chipset, but won't be in my iwconfig list or even listed as a eth device. | 20:43 |
| largos | I need some pointers on debugging an audio problem in Ubuntu Gutsy -- it acts just as if the speakers were not plugged in. aplay -l and some /dev stats are up here: http://pastebin.com/d55e03307 | 20:44 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, I'll be sure to google it :0 There are so many things that I am meaning to google | 20:44 |
| monochrom | kees_: There are lots of ".gnome2", ".xchat2", ... files to copy. They contain account settings. | 20:44 |
| pisecx | Hi. Everybody. I have a laptop, Dell Inspiron 1501. I have turned off screensaver and "to turn off monitor" in power managment settings, but it has no effect. After about 10 minutes my monitor is turned off. This can be fixed by adding some code to xorg.conf. I think, it's a bug. | 20:44 |
| ahmedh724 | Some_Person: ok any other suggestions | 20:44 |
| largos | I've checked the alsamixer settings, and nothing input-related is muted, or set very low | 20:44 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, believe it or not, it's tough to find time and sometimes a simple google turns into an abyss :) | 20:44 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: installed wubi on windows and used that boot-time menu, or however you like to call it | 20:44 |
| renfrew | thanks some person.. that what i was just about to suggest.. either that or export the install directory into $PATH so that its system wide | 20:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | largos, /join #Alsa they are good with sound issues | 20:44 |
| asymptote | Some_Person, but thank you, I'll follow your directions and see how it works | 20:44 |
| Some_Person | ahmedh724: use the alternate cd | 20:44 |
| DaemonLee | brb | 20:44 |
| largos | Jack_Sparrow: thanks | 20:44 |
| kees_ | People, I'm a new Linux user and need some help with this. | 20:44 |

| spowers | hey, what's gatos? | 20:45 |
| odder | Jadd76: I haven't seen your previous post, do you have any problems with getting your sagem f@st 800 modem to work? | 20:45 |
| ahmedh724 | Some_Person:ok thanks | 20:45 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, Exactly my point... I hate wasting my time on things like that | 20:45 |
| renfrew | i just got a wierd scrollkeeper error trying to install dia and scribus | 20:45 |
| Some_Person | asymptote: you're welcome | 20:46 |

| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: sorry? | 20:46 |
| renfrew | anyone else seen something like this before? /var/lib/scrollkeeper/C/scrollkeeper_extended_cl.xml:1002: parser error : | 20:46 |
| Jadd76 | odder: that was my first post, I haven't tried yet, I just wanted to verify https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsbAdslModem/ueagle-atm applies to Gutsy too | 20:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, np.. I would be happy to help you actuall install it.. just no wubi or vm anything | 20:47 |
| leau2001 | Hi all, i need help with amsn , i v got little, little, little menu , http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8227/amsnbugbp2.png | 20:47 |
| leau2001 | on ubuntu 7.10 | 20:47 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: "sorry?" as in "i didn't understaind what you have said", but what is wubi anyway? | 20:47 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, read up where you got it.. it is not a real installation | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, it vreates a simulated partition /installation insde a folder | 20:48 |
| Jack_Sparrow | file | 20:48 |
| odder | Jadd76: I remember installing f@st 800 on my dapper box using ueagle-atm, so it should work on gutsy, too | 20:48 |
| SliMM | well, i have booted my cd, if i choose "install", won't i be able to format the whole hdd and install ubuntu? | 20:49 |
| prone | good evening @ all, can somebody give me a link or a howto with samba commands for adding and edit usergroups ??? <-samba newbie ;) | 20:49 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, only if it is booted and not simulated under windows | 20:49 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: i'm not under windows | 20:50 |
| renfrew | prone: not a lin k as such but have you tried using swat.. its a web interfae for managing samba | 20:50 |
| odder | Jadd76: there's a program written by some Polish ubuntu users, dunno if it will help you, google for 'Ubuneo' or 'Ubudsl' | 20:50 |
| Jadd76 | odder: on the wiki it has one section for edgy and feisty, and one section for dapper. Which set of instructions should I follow for Gutsy? | 20:50 |
| SliMM | and it looks as real as it can get | 20:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, Power up with the cd in the drive and tell me the first menu you see | 20:50 |
| odder | Jadd76: I'd say these for feisty should be best for gutsy | 20:50 |
| odder | Jadd76: but I haven't been doing that for ages, so I can't help you, sorry :( | 20:51 |
| lunaphyte_ | more specifically, if i boot from the live cd and start a recovery shell, how can i mount a filesystem that is on an lvm logical volume that is on an md device? | 20:51 |

| sykopomp | hey, I can't find a solution to this anywhere... | 20:52 |
| babu | ok odder, I would like install the GaduGadu emoticon on Pidgin, and I dont find them on the web | 20:52 |
| sykopomp | compiz keeps failing with no error, and I don't really know how to go about debugging this | 20:53 |
| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: before installing wubi on windows: nothing, it boots from the hard disk, i can't change that since my bios is somehow broken; after installing wubi on windows and *rebooting*, i get a simple bootloader-like menu where i can choose "windows xp pro" or "ubuntu-linux" | 20:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | SliMM, Sorry.. cant help you | 20:53 |
| sykopomp | doing $ compiz just gives me 'aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity' | 20:53 |

| babu | odder, I am not polish | 20:54 |
| benpicco | sykopomp: just paste the error | 20:54 |
| sykopomp | that was it | 20:54 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow, still there? | 20:54 |
| sykopomp | there's nothing useful in it | 20:54 |
| babu | but I will go see | 20:54 |
| odder | babu: I'll ask them | 20:54 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, yes | 20:54 |
| babu | this canal thks odder | 20:54 |
| sykopomp | it just aborts and falls back to metacity | 20:54 |
| sykopomp | I'd use pastebin, but it's barely even a line long :P | 20:54 |

| SliMM | Jack_Sparrow: how many "files" (or whatever the names represent) has an average linux user in /dev? | 20:56 |

| Jack_Sparrow | sluimers, Sometimes I get lucky | 20:57 |
| sluimers | Jack_Sparrow, thanks! Perhaps this was the solution. | 20:58 |

| holyguyver | No that is not what I mean | 21:11 |
| DragoneBlu | what can i do if i get "chroot: cannot run command `dpkg': No such file or directory" ? | 21:12 |
| ffm_ | Dragnslcr, when do you get it? | 21:12 |
| Alan_M | testic, I would say order a new drive, sounds like the motors burned out....but..im just saying this from what I've seen in comments...im not sure I have been here for your whole conversation. | 21:12 |
| holyguyver | No I mean whenever apt won't let you use it because it has unfinished tasks that it was killed in the middle of ding. | 21:12 |
| s-h-a-k-a | ompaul, : Envy won't install either | 21:12 |
| Starnestommy | DragoneBlu: you need the full path to the dpkg binary, which is usually /usr/bin/dpkg | 21:13 |
| Alan_M | Does the drive make any noise when you press eject testic? | 21:13 |
| testic | Alan_M, I am very sure the drive works, I was using it earlier in Windows, and when I rebooted I was able to eject it during the BIOS screen | 21:13 |
| DragoneBlu | Starnestommy: same error | 21:13 |
| ompaul | s-h-a-k-a, here is a clue you can't use envy and other methods it breaks stuff | 21:13 |
| testic | Alan_M, no noises, no error messages displayed | 21:13 |
| Alan_M | Oh, well...hmmmm | 21:13 |
| DragoneBlu | i'm using live cd right now | 21:13 |
| ffm_ | holyguyver, idk, try I don't know. | 21:13 |
| ompaul | !envy | s-h-a-k-a (you don't know what it has broken and nor do I) | 21:13 |
| ubotu | s-h-a-k-a (you don't know what it has broken and nor do I): envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 21:13 |
| ffm_ | holyguyver, oops. | 21:13 |
| Alan_M | testic, im scratching my head on this one buddy, im at a loss here :( | 21:13 |
| s-h-a-k-a | ompaul, : So what do I do? | 21:14 |
| MasterMel | !Medibuntu | 21:14 |
| ubotu | medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 21:14 |
| testic | Alan_M, me too, the drive worked just fine last time I booted into Ubuntu | 21:14 |
| ffm_ | !botabuse | MasterMel | 21:14 |
| ompaul | s-h-a-k-a, restarting your install might be safer and then start with the binarydriver method -- i.e. restricted drivers from the off | 21:14 |
| ubotu | MasterMel: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotwo Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 21:14 |
| s-h-a-k-a | ompaul: The first thing I did was with it | 21:14 |
| s-h-a-k-a | My w-lan card setup fine with it | 21:14 |
| Alan_M | Did you change any settins since the last time testic? | 21:15 |
| holyguyver | Synaptic won't even show me any repository packages because of this problem | 21:15 |
| ompaul | s-h-a-k-a, well trying to get to a "better" graphics place right now might not be for you | 21:15 |
| testic | Alan_M, nothing at all | 21:15 |
| Alan_M | wow...um. | 21:15 |
| s-h-a-k-a | ompaul: Its not even about that, its just getting a somewhat normal resolution | 21:15 |
| conformer | s-h-a-k-a, so is the problem with the driver? or something else? | 21:15 |
| s-h-a-k-a | and refresh rate | 21:15 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer: Just won't install | 21:16 |
| Devourer | How do I make an ISO of a cd? | 21:16 |
| monkey88 | hi there | 21:16 |
| Alan_M | some setting somewhere got messed up somehow, but...what...heh, im trying to think of everything and I cant.. | 21:16 |
| Alan_M | !iso | Devourer | 21:16 |
| ubotu | Devourer: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:16 |
| s-h-a-k-a | bah, fix one problem a new one comes up | 21:16 |
| Alan_M | oops, wrong one..that was for mounting not making my bad :( | 21:17 |
| renfrew | I'm getting an xml parsing error when I install certain packages, I've posted the 'apt-get install dia scribus' output to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/59527/ | 21:17 |

| holyguyver | Here is the problem it is giving me E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occurred while processing libjdic-bin (NewVersion1)E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. | 21:17 |
| Devourer | ompaul, will that take the CD in my drive and put a ISO of it somewhere like on my desktop? | 21:18 |
| danand | holyguyver - have you run out of room on your filesystem? - do df -h to check | 21:18 |
| ompaul | Devourer, it can | 21:18 |
| conformer | s-h-a-k-a, have you tried the driver from the nvidia website? | 21:19 |
| holyguyver | No I still have 40GBs free | 21:19 |
| DaemonLee | Aight. I got a problem, I put in my wireless card in my ExpressCard slot (Belkin N1 ExpressCard), and it's recongized as a Atheros chipset, but won't be in my iwconfig list or even listed as a eth device. | 21:19 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : yes give me an error when I try it from no x install | 21:19 |
| s-h-a-k-a | tells me that something isn't compiled | 21:19 |
| s-h-a-k-a | and it can't find it off the nvidia ftp | 21:19 |
| holyguyver | danand I still have 40GBs free | 21:20 |
| Parsec300 | Jack_Sparrow, do you know how to make your own settings the default for all new users? | 21:20 |
| danand | Devourer - you might also look at the use of dd and mkisofs tools | 21:20 |
| alanmatoso | tem algum brasileiro que saiba que plugin posso baixar para mudar a interface do ubuntu? | 21:20 |
| conformer | how about synaptic package manager, did you search there? | 21:20 |

| Alan_M | heh | 21:22 |
| jimcooncat | Parsec300: you copy your preferences (usually files and folders that start with a . in your home folder) to /etc/skel | 21:22 |
| danand | holyguyver - sorry, i've kinda joined #ubuntu half way through the description of your problem. what exactly are you trying to do? | 21:23 |
| holyguyver | I am trying to get apt/synaptic to start working again, right now it won't even show the repository packages list. | 21:23 |
| danand | holyguyver - are you using synaptics or cli? | 21:24 |
| holyguyver | I am using synaptic | 21:24 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : Seems to be installing | 21:24 |

| The_Machine | hey ppl - i have a hardware problem on a laptop | 21:25 |
| danand | holyguyver - best bet is to shutdown synaptics and use cli exclusively - you get better error / debugging messages | 21:26 |
| ScorpKing | holyguyver: you have to make sure /etc/apt/sources.list is correct and then run sudo apt-get update. that should fix it | 21:26 |
| lamppost | join #c | 21:26 |

| crdlb | kjoz: nvidia? | 21:31 |
| zOrK | ok | 21:31 |
| conformer | s-h-a-k-a, probably the best way is to do "sudo mv /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig /path/to/desktop or something/ | 21:31 |
| peleg | Odd-rationale: where do you have this option? I don't think I have it. | 21:31 |

| Odd-rationale | peleg: I don't know. Just wait and upgrade to 8.04 it is a LTS and so should rock! | 21:37 |
| Cpudan80 | Devourer: depends on where it mounted | 21:37 |

| s-h-a-k-a | its got a mini lock sign on it | 21:37 |
| Cpudan80 | Devourer: you have to know where the CD is mounted | 21:37 |
| pike_ | testic: if that works then type: sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 21:37 |
| conformer | thats easy to get around | 21:37 |
| peleg | Cpudan80: I don't know. I have a DELL laptop, and it comes with 7.04; I am not sure that the laptop will know how to work with the newer version. now everything works fine... | 21:38 |

| danand | Devourer - if you can see the icon for the cd on the desktop - use rclick and select unmount from the menu | 21:38 |
| Lamego | frohike, /etc/network/interfaces | 21:38 |
| Lamego | Devourer, umount /media/cdrom (or whatever is your cdrom mount path) | 21:38 |
| Cpudan80 | peleg: It should work ok | 21:38 |
| Devourer | danand, the unmount option didn't appear. | 21:39 |
| Lamego | peleg, you can use the livecd to test drive | 21:39 |
| conformer | use this code in a terminal: "sudo mv /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig /path/to/desktop or something/" | 21:39 |
| Cpudan80 | ahh Lamego beat me to it | 21:39 |
| peleg | Cpudan80: ok. how long is it? can I do it while chatting here, or is it really an installation? | 21:39 |
| conformer | that way you can have it as a backup in case something goes wrong | 21:39 |
| xuxa-olpc | I made a new computer for my sister and Ubuntu now freezes very early in the boot process (right at the beginning of the task bar). Is there any way to get more info about what's going on? Alt-F1 gives only, "Starting up... Loading, please wait..." | 21:39 |

| erUSUL | frojnd: system>Admin>Net | 21:41 |
| Jack_Sparrow | earthling, go to terminal - cli and type nautilus | 21:41 |
| conformer | so the nvidia-xconfig file isn't in the usr/bin/ folder? | 21:41 |
| peleg | in the meanwhile, maybe one of you recommend a different music player? what do you say about banshee? | 21:42 |

| cpk1 | madwifi is in restricted modules? | 21:42 |
| Lamego | s-h-a-k-a, you should be moving binaries from usr/bin to your desktop | 21:42 |
| Lamego | not | 21:42 |
| TDT | Does anyone have an idea about why the font in terminal would show up as all caps, both lower and upper case appear the same, yet if typing all upper case the commands can't be found (as expected) | 21:42 |
| testic | pike_, will changes to the blacklist take effect after reboot? or is there a way to do it straight away? | 21:42 |

| conformer | in the folde | 21:43 |
| earthling | Jack_Sparrow: thanks | 21:43 |
| conformer | r | 21:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | holyguyver, What started all of this.. trying to install something from source | 21:43 |
| Lamego | s-h-a-k-a, because binaries files are not expected to be moved, they belong to packages | 21:43 |
| mrpockets | when does Ubuntu use the swpa memory? | 21:43 |

| holyguyver | I already did that danand that is how I got this message | 21:44 |
| andy_ | TDT, i just noticed your line about caps, i found it pretty open as a quesiton, that's all | 21:44 |

| DaemonLee | Aight. I got a problem, I put in my wireless card in my ExpressCard slot (Belkin N1 ExpressCard), and it's recongized as a Atheros chipset, but won't be in my iwconfig list or even listed as a eth device. My current broadcom wireless works perfectly. Help? | 21:50 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ok | 21:50 |
| danand | holyguyver - if you cant install the pastebinit package then just pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list and tell us the link | 21:50 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : Apparenlty it is | 21:50 |
| s-h-a-k-a | isn't* | 21:50 |
| conformer | but you can't see it in the folder> | 21:50 |
| holyguyver | Jack_Sparrow whenewver I put in that pastbinit thing you asked me to it gave me the same error that Posted earlier | 21:50 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : I know, but says that it is trying to overwrite it | 21:51 |
| s-h-a-k-a | don't ask me | 21:51 |
| s-h-a-k-a | but it isn't there | 21:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | holyguyver, That actually tells us someting as well | 21:51 |
| s-h-a-k-a | doing a complete removal conformer | 21:51 |
| Jack_Sparrow | holyguyver, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and manually paste it | 21:51 |
| killown | high-freq, how do I to install gnome 2.22 on ubuntu gustsy? | 21:52 |
| danand | holyguyver - thats because your asking apt to install a package that makes paste binning easy - just pastebin the /etc/apt/sources.list file manually | 21:52 |
| conformer | of nvidia-glx-new? | 21:52 |
| placker | long live nix | 21:52 |
| Lamego | killown, you don't | 21:52 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : Nvidia-xconfig | 21:52 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : It worked | 21:52 |
| s-h-a-k-a | it installed | 21:52 |
| conformer | nice | 21:52 |
| holyguyver | Danand how many times do I have to tell you I am not installing anything, I am not trying to instyall anything | 21:52 |
| kestir | what is the command to unrar files to a specific directory? | 21:53 |
| conformer | so does it work though? | 21:53 |
| Gatton | killown, in one month you can do a dist-upgrade and have 2.22 and it'll be MUCH easier than trying to build it yourself :-) | 21:53 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : Yes, needs a reboot according to restricted drivers | 21:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | holyguyver, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and manually paste your sources list to the pastebin.. that line I gave would install a program.. if it had worked | 21:53 |
| conformer | ok thats normal | 21:53 |
| killown | Gatton, ty | 21:53 |
| s-h-a-k-a | will have to see when ubuntu boots up, but I'm hopeful | 21:53 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, <3, thanks for all your help | 21:53 |
| conformer | no problem | 21:53 |
| conformer | let me know if it doesn't work for some reason | 21:54 |
| s-h-a-k-a | will know in a few mins | 21:54 |
| conformer | k coo | 21:54 |
| conformer | l | 21:54 |
| s-h-a-k-a | getting through grub takes a long time for some reason | 21:54 |
| danand | holyguyver - the command Jack_Sparrow gave you was to install a package called pastebinit. Jack was trying to use that package to see your /etc/apt/sources.list file. That is the reason that command Jack gave you gave you the same error. All you needed to do was to manually paste bin the contents of that file as I said before | 21:55 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : Should I reinstall nvidia-xconfig? | 21:55 |
| kestir | what is the command to unrar files to a specific directory? | 21:56 |
| conformer | maybe. is it working? | 21:56 |
| s-h-a-k-a | yes | 21:56 |
| TrustNoOne | i am using audacity to edit mp3 files, i try to compile and it says i need libmp3lame.so.0 to do this, so i am trying to install lame, but when i do "make" it says no targets specified and nomakefile found? | 21:56 |
| holyguyver | Jack_Sparrow is there any way I can say something privet to you in here without others seeing? | 21:56 |
| s-h-a-k-a | well the resolution is good | 21:56 |
| Gatton | kestir, i don't have a rar file to test it with but can you not just do unrar filename.rar /some/path ? | 21:56 |
| conformer | thats good | 21:56 |
| conformer | what about compiz effects. are those working? | 21:57 |
| s-h-a-k-a | how will I know? | 21:57 |
| Chousuke | TrustNoOne: why are you compiling it? | 21:57 |
| conformer | do you have compix installed? | 21:57 |
| conformer | you dont need it. but its awesome | 21:57 |
| s-h-a-k-a | nah, something I'd like to do though | 21:57 |
| TrustNoOne | Chousuke, thats what it says in INSTALL file, to ./configure, make, makeinstall (its a tarball) | 21:58 |
| s-h-a-k-a | hmmm can't go higher than 1024x768 and 50hz | 21:58 |
| s-h-a-k-a | thats wierd | 21:58 |
| kestir | Gatton: yes...but I'm trying to set a cronjob and they keep getting extracted to my home directory | 21:58 |
| Chousuke | TrustNoOne: no, I mean, why are you installing it from a tarball? sudo aptitude install audacity | 21:58 |
| conformer | what does your hardware driver thing say, does it say the card is enabled? | 21:58 |
| damaltor | d | 21:58 |
| TrustNoOne | Chousuke, audacity is installed, but libmp3lame.so.0 is not, so i cant compile MP3 files using audacity | 21:59 |
| s-h-a-k-a | conformer, : its enabled, told me when it booted up | 21:59 |
| s-h-a-k-a | and I can see its enabled | 21:59 |
| Chousuke | TrustNoOne: install liblame then | 21:59 |

| damaltor | hello everybody! did anyone here ever work with lcd4linux? everything works, i just want a few hints... thanks | 21:59 |
| s2a | i have adobe premiere pro cs3 and wine 0.9.56 and i did the extraction process it suggested then running the .exe says "This software cannot be installed because JScript is not properly registered. Please repair JScript and then restart the installer." | 21:59 |
| conformer | you could try reinstalling the nvidia-xconfig, and if it messes something up, you could just remove it like last time | 21:59 |
| s-h-a-k-a | yeah | 22:00 |
| Chousuke | TrustNoOne: you just need to aptitude install liblame-dev | 22:00 |
| s-h-a-k-a | I mean its not a big problem at its current resolution is would prefer a better resolutin | 22:00 |
| Lamego | TrueNme, lame is available on the ubuntu repositories | 22:00 |
| s2a | how would i go about installing my software? | 22:00 |
| Chousuke | TrustNoOne: or maybe liblame0 will work | 22:00 |
| Chousuke | TrustNoOne: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Audacity | 22:00 |
| conformer | thats understandable | 22:01 |
| coriander | I'm thinking about getting an 8800GT video card, but I see posts in the forums that people are having trouble with it. Does anyone have experience with this card? | 22:01 |

| loudnlownoma | Anyone here that can help with install problems? Installing Gutsy on a laptop previously running Feisty and having trouble starting after install... | 22:09 |
| coriander | !tab | 22:09 |
| ubotu | You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 22:09 |
| Lamego | !anyone | 22:09 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:09 |
| conformer | hang on a sec | 22:09 |
| triorieel | TrueNme: I honestly don't know...I myself would scrounge around on the net to see if that nic is supported or throw another nic in the machine | 22:09 |
| ahmed | Lamego, i commented this line, still getting other error | 22:10 |
| Striking7 | Anyone know a command to tell me info about a parent process? | 22:10 |
| ahmed | Lamego, fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 84: field "private": bad value: "2" | 22:10 |
| Striking7 | Like, I'd like to know about the bash session that I am running commands from | 22:10 |
| amenado | TrueNme-> ifconfig ; does it show the interface up? | 22:10 |
| ahmed | Lamego, line 84 is empty :S | 22:10 |
| TrueNme | °~° triorieel °~° ok once i get the driver how do i install it ? | 22:10 |
| Lamego | ahmed, if you are not very familiar with postfix configs, just use the plain config, and dpkg-reconfigure postfix | 22:10 |
| Striking7 | like whether it's /bin/bash, /usr/bin/bash, etc | 22:10 |
| TrueNme | °~° amenado °~° if i use eth0 yes | 22:10 |
| triorieel | TrueNme: Chances are, if its a popular nic...its supported. And the install directions for the driver should come with it | 22:10 |
| conformer | huh, i dont even have xconfig installed apparently | 22:10 |
| conformer | i was looking at something else i guess | 22:11 |
| amenado | TrueNme-> you have more than one interface? can you please paste in pastebin your ifconfig; route -n; cat /etc/resolv.conf | 22:11 |

| delfick | awsome, thankyou, am still running gutsy | 22:35 |
| Some_Person | cge: there were errors, but they concerned some other things in that source package, not sheep_net | 22:35 |
| cge | Some_Person: Well, you could probably sudo insmod sheep.o | 22:35 |
| Karsyth | cge: yes, i want to have a clean install of wine and to do that i want to remove it COMPLETELY first | 22:35 |
| Lamego | azuki, actually there are plenty choices for a bt client, most of them are <1MB | 22:35 |
| cge | Some_Person: I'm not sure if that will actually work, though. | 22:35 |
| Some_Person | cge: insmod: error inserting 'sheep.o': -1 Invalid module format | 22:36 |
| cge | Karsyth: If you want to remove all of the things you installed using it, remove all of the .wine* hidden directories. | 22:36 |
| azuki | lamego: I checked in the package-base... I finally ended up with transmission to be the best one, still over 40 megs I believe.. | 22:36 |
| cge | Some_Person: Ah, then it didn't build. | 22:36 |
| Lycade | Just a note, the liveCD works fine on another laptop. I get to the menu just fine on the troublesome laptop, and it gets to where it starts loading the processes. However, within a process or two after giving an "OK" on the gnome display driver, it gives a black screen and locks up. | 22:36 |
| light50 | hi - if synaptic tells me i have libc6 2.5 , should it be prompting me to upgrade soon? Ive read there are problems with the upgrade. | 22:36 |
| Some_Person | cge: wait, i was able to insbuild sheep.ko | 22:36 |
| Some_Person | cge: insmod i mean | 22:36 |
| cge | Some_Person: ah, sorry. I should have told you that. | 22:36 |
| azuki | Lamego: as I recall, azarues is even 160 megs or something... and it's a slow java app with that | 22:37 |
| Lamego | azuki, you are wrong, torrent uses <1 MB | 22:37 |
| Some_Person | cge: is it installed now? | 22:37 |
| acfrazier | This is getting frustrating. All I need is dual monitors, and Linux is complete. | 22:37 |
| azuki | Lamego: I mean the client... check your package | 22:37 |
| acfrazier | stupid secondary monitor won't show up | 22:38 |
| azuki | Lamego: look at azereus | 22:38 |
| cge | Some_Person: If insmod didn't give errors, the module should be loaded, yes. | 22:38 |
| acfrazier | greyed out | 22:38 |
| conformer | so everything is working now right s-h-a-k-a? | 22:38 |
| Some_Person | ok, now i'll try it | 22:38 |
| cge | Some_Person: Whether it will actually work or not is still questionable. | 22:38 |
| Lamego | azuki, I mean the client also, it's size is < 700 KBs | 22:38 |
| s-h-a-k-a | yeah | 22:38 |
| s-h-a-k-a | just fixing this | 22:38 |
| s-h-a-k-a | xchat | 22:38 |
| Karsyth | cge: ive already removed the hidden folders and its still in my applications menu, and its still using about 8GB. problem is i cant find it | 22:38 |
| cge | Some_Person: And do note that you'll need to insmod it every time you restart. | 22:38 |
| s-h-a-k-a | wpm | 22:38 |
| cge | Karsyth: oh | 22:38 |
| s-h-a-k-a | can't get it to automatically join a password channel | 22:38 |
| Diablo22 | hi , how can i disable the ip6v ? | 22:38 |
| azuki | Lamego: dubble checking here :) | 22:38 |
| LjL | !ipv6 | Diablo22 | 22:38 |
| ubotu | Diablo22: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 | 22:38 |
| cge | Karsyth: Around what size is your entire home directory? | 22:38 |
| Diablo22 | thanks | 22:39 |
| conformer | huh, well i don't really know much about that | 22:39 |
| Some_Person | cge: i get Cannot open /dev/sheep_net (Permission denied) | 22:39 |
| Karsyth | 555.8 mb | 22:39 |
| conformer | i need to get going though. i have some stuff i need to finish | 22:39 |
| cge | Some_Person: There could be worse - try sudo chmod 777 /dev/sheep_net | 22:40 |
| cge | Some_Person: Of course, that's rather insecure, but it will do for testing. | 22:40 |
| acfrazier | Anyone? | 22:40 |
| Lamego | !anyone | 22:40 |
| azuki | Lamego: it's installing many many side-programs...right now I have to give you point, but I must say I noticed the size of programs beeing a bit above normal.. I would expect a torrent client to be under 5 mb's for sure | 22:40 |
| ubotu | A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 22:40 |
| cge | Karsyth: So the 8GB isn't in your home directory? | 22:40 |
| Karsyth | cge: 555.8mb | 22:41 |
| conformer | i'll talk to you guys later | 22:41 |
| Karsyth | ah sorry | 22:41 |
| Karsyth | my window didnt scroll | 22:41 |
| Lamego | azuki, the client itself uses 600KB, and it does not depend on "side programs" it depends on libraries, which are share across several applications | 22:41 |
| Karsyth | cge: nope, i have a 20GB HD and i only have 1.4GB free | 22:41 |
| Some_Person | cge: it works! | 22:41 |
| Karsyth | cge: the only app i had installed aside from steam is enemy territory, and that takes under 1gb | 22:41 |
| loudnlownoma | I am getting an error starting Gutsy. I see it says Starting up after GRUB, then I get "Error: Cannot allocate resource region 7(also errors for 8 and 9) of bridge....", then flips to a blank black screen and hangs. Any ideas? | 22:42 |
| wxPython | well? | 22:42 |
| cge | Some_Person: Excellent! I was very worried that I'd lead you through a bunch of things without me really knowing that much about basilisk2, and then have it not work... | 22:42 |
| azuki | Lamego: I understand that.... maybe it's the content of those libs I don't understand, but you would agree with me that the first time you install a torrent-client on a clean linux install, you will have too install 100+ megs? | 22:42 |
| acfrazier | I need help with dual monitors.. but the forum tutorial don't work. My friend told me to try the IRC. | 22:42 |
| Some_Person | cge: now, how can i avoid having to insmod every boot, and how do i make it a little more secure (you said chmod 777 was insecure) | 22:42 |
| ahmed | i have problem with dovecot on ubuntu | 22:43 |
| Lamego | azuki, well, it depends on the client, as far as I remember, transmission depends mostly on gtk, which means, you shoudn't need much more than the base system, unless you installed kubuntu or xubuntu | 22:43 |
| cge | Some_Person: Well, you can create a group for users who are allowed to use sheep-net, and then change the group of the file and chmod 770 it. | 22:43 |
| ahmed | can anyone help me with dovecot under ubuntu ? | 22:44 |
| Lycade | I need some assistance with the liveCD. I can't get it to boot properly. I can get to the Ubuntu menu, but it is after I select a boot option that I get issues. This is for both the 64-bit and i386 liveCDs. What happens is this: I select "Install or Run Ubuntu," then it goes through the list of processes it is loading. After it gets to the end of the list, which is shortly after the "Gnome Display Driver," I get a black screen and the comp | 22:44 |
| Lycade | uter laptops. Does anyone have an advice on how I should proceed from here? I've tested the liveCDs on another laptop and they function correctly. | 22:44 |
| Some_Person | cge: ok, and what about having to insmod every boot? | 22:44 |

| escuela_ | don't have much time | 22:44 |
| Lamego | escuela_, english, or #ubuntu-es | 22:45 |
| Slart | TrueNme: sudo -i... but why do you need a root terminal? | 22:45 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° i just got 3 diff ways | 22:45 |
| escuela_ | i have an hp computer with ubuntu 7.04 installed | 22:45 |

| Phaqui | Hey everyone, I'm on windows now, but I need to log on to my Ubuntu disk to do something. The problem is during boot, it automatically boots to windows | 22:46 |
| sirjoebob | Slart.... what is wrong with sudo su? i am asking seriously b/c i dont know anis wrooneng with that ything that | 22:46 |
| Phaqui | what is it that I must press to see the list over operating systems? | 22:46 |
| sirjoebob | Phaqui, make sure you are set to boot from CD | 22:46 |
| cge_ | Karsyth: Have you tried du -h --max-depth=2 to look for folders that might be suspiciously large? | 22:46 |
| Phaqui | boot from cd? | 22:46 |
| azuki | Lamego: you're anwer isn't really satifying me... I understand that with transmission it's in reasonably constraints.. that's why I'm running that now... | 22:46 |
| sirjoebob | Phaqui: in bios | 22:46 |
| Slart | TrueNme: there is a "route" command for doing that | 22:46 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° im using a dhcp connectin and the info such as destination gateway and what have you is all wrong and i cant get online | 22:46 |
| Some_Person | cge: do i need to move sheep.ko somewhere? I don't want it in a series of folders on my desktop | 22:47 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: As for insmoding it automatically, there are elegant ways to do so, but I don't remember them very well and probably couldn't explain them. | 22:47 |
| Phaqui | okay, well, I'll give it a try | 22:47 |
| azuki | Lamego: I do see the upsides to it against windows ... no doubt about it... | 22:47 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° ok | 22:47 |
| miraklis | does anyone knows why the power managment does not turn off the monitor after the idle time? (ubuntu 7.10) | 22:47 |
| Slart | sirjoebob: I've never heard anything bad about using sudo su... it just seems like sudo -s and sudo -i are more to the point.. | 22:47 |
| sirjoebob | Slart... ok. it is just how i have been doing it for some time and wondered if i was doing something wrong. i will probably still stick with it... lol | 22:47 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: You could put it in /lib/modules/[your kernel version]/ | 22:48 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° what are the commands for chaning that info ? | 22:48 |
| Sona | I've been trying to install drivers for my DLink DWA 542 wireless internet card. A site I found told me to try MadWifi, but I cannot seem to | 22:48 |
| escuela_ | does anybody have an idea to my problem? | 22:48 |
| Sona | 'make' after running the scripts, any idea? | 22:48 |
| Slart | TrueNme: use sudo for root-stuff... then we won't have to help you reinstall later.. when you've done something bad in that root shell.. (RM / home/myuselessstuff is awfully easy to type.. DONT TYPE THIS!!) | 22:48 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: Then run depmod | 22:49 |
| Some_Person | cge: ok | 22:49 |
| pike_ | Sona: sudo apt-get install build-essential is a good start | 22:49 |
| Slart | sirjoebob: hehe.. you do that =) | 22:49 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° im not in sudo anymore | 22:49 |

| pardusman | hi I am trying to configure Proftpd on Ubuntu Linux in SSH. I have been researching all evening on getting the filing permissions right but its getting a bit complex. | 22:49 |
| pardusman | Basically I need to set the correct permissions in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf | 22:49 |
| sirjoebob | Slart... to each his own, right? | 22:49 |
| pardusman | and what I want is to block all access to all folders except a folder called /var/www with all the contents withing www being unblocked ? | 22:49 |
| Slart | TrueNme: security reasons? | 22:49 |
| SpookyET | Has anyone looked at Nexenta? It's GNU with Ubuntu and Solaris | 22:49 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° thank you | 22:50 |
| Lamego | azuki, sorry, couldn't understand your question, which package list ? | 22:50 |
| riddlebox | what port do I have to forward, to allow the remote desktop from outside? | 22:50 |
| Sona | thank you pike | 22:50 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° no i cant get online and the info is wrong i need to chsange it | 22:50 |
| Slart | sirjoebob: indeed.. until we find something bad with sudo su, I guess =) | 22:50 |
| Some_Person | cge: where does it go exactly? there are no .ko files in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic but there are some in some subdirs | 22:50 |
| cge_ | sirjoebob, Slart: sudo su uses more memory, I believe. | 22:50 |
| kestir | Can someone tell me how to create rar files with the .r01, .r02, .r03 extension? | 22:51 |
| Slart | TrueNme: no, I meant.. why aren't you in the sudoer's list? | 22:51 |

| Zasch | Hello. Every time I try to burn a CD, it tells me that the system is too slow...but the CD itself seems to be fine. What's going on? | 22:52 |
| kestir | Zasch: sounds like the system is too slow, not the CD | 22:52 |
| revilodraw | lots of things crash these days, and it frustrates me... | 22:52 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: If you run depmod -v, you can grep the output to see if it finds the module. | 22:52 |
| TrueNme | oh i closed the terminal and reopend it so i was at the $ prmt insted of the # prmpt | 22:52 |
| Zasch | kestir: That is to say, the data on the CD does not appear to be compromised or otherwise negatively impacted. | 22:53 |
| TrueNme | °~° Slart °~° ^ | 22:53 |
| Some_Person | cge: output is too long, cant tell | 22:53 |
| Slart | TrueNme: ah.. you can use "exit" too.. works the same way | 22:53 |
| Some_Person | cge: wait, i'll output to a text file | 22:53 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: Try depmod -v | grep sheep | 22:53 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: grep is incredibly useful for such things | 22:53 |

| danand | kestir - use the -v<size> flag should create rar vols with that specified size - see man rar for more info | 22:55 |
| amenado | Cew27-> are you booted on your hard disk now? | 22:55 |
| kestir | danand: it creates rar files of that size, but gives them the .rar file extension. As per the rar man page. | 22:55 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: hmm... | 22:55 |
| Cew27 | amenado: no im on the live cd | 22:55 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: It was sheep.ko, right? | 22:55 |
| kestir | danand: rar.part01.rar etc | 22:55 |

| alegria | Hi guys | 22:58 |
| Cew27 | ok hold on let me put it in a paste bin and can u edit it so that only the normal ubuntu kernel is there and not the recovery and memory test ect and can you take out the splash | 22:58 |
| Cew27 | !pastebin | 22:58 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:58 |
| Some_Person | cge_: is that good? | 22:58 |
| alegria | I'got a problem | 22:58 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: Hmm... try lsmod and see if sheep is loaded. | 22:58 |
| CorruptTerrorist | how can i search the contents of all files in a directory? | 22:59 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: I think it is good, yes. | 22:59 |
| Some_Person | cge_: its the first thing on the list | 22:59 |
| gbz | i have another question: if building a prog (configure, make, make install) as root inside a chroot - make install installs it in the chroot yes ? | 22:59 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: Ah, very good. | 22:59 |
| Slart | CorruptTerrorist: grep might work | 22:59 |

| cge_ | Some_Person: So now you can load it from anywhere with modprobe sheep | 22:59 |
| alegria | I need an helping hand | 23:00 |
| Some_Person | cge_: can i make it automatically load? | 23:00 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: and it may or may not load automatically. | 23:00 |
| Slart | CorruptTerrorist: as a matter of fact.. that's is just what grep does =) | 23:00 |
| Cew27 | amenado: what do i remove ? do i take out ro quiet splash or just quite splash | 23:00 |
| Slart | alegria: ask your question.. don't ask to ask | 23:00 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: I can never remember what new-fangled thing is used for automatic dev-module loading now. | 23:00 |
| Some_Person | cge_: theres /etc/modules | 23:00 |
| kestir | cge_: libnufangle | 23:00 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: Err, or you could use that... | 23:00 |
| amenado | Cew27-> quiet splash | 23:00 |
| acfrazier | Well since this is obviously no help, I'm just going to exit | 23:00 |
| cge_ | acfrazier: err, have you tried asking on the forums? | 23:01 |
| Cew27 | amenado: ok cheers and how do i make it pick windows after 5 seconds ? | 23:01 |
| Some_Person | cge_: excellent, thank you very much for getting this to work | 23:01 |
| cge_ | acfrazier: It's been my experience that asking difficult questions here usually doesn't result in answers. | 23:01 |
| acfrazier | k | 23:01 |
| amenado | Cew27-> why windows? you wanted ubuntu dont you not? | 23:01 |
| cge_ | Some_Person: You're quite welcome. | 23:01 |
| CorruptTerrorist | Slart, how do i use it? | 23:01 |
| Cew27 | amenado: yes but i just built this pc for gaming and when i come home from school i flick it on get changed than game i use ubuntu to program | 23:02 |
| Cew27 | amenado: i took out the recovery kernel and mem test kernal | 23:02 |
| cge_ | CorruptTerrorist: grep is very complex, but grep "[text you want to search for]" [files you want to search] works. | 23:02 |

| amenado | Cew27-> if you can figure that much, i am sure you can figure out which os it should select after 5 secs | 23:03 |
| cge_ | CorruptTerrorist: Then use grep -R "[search string]" [directory] | 23:03 |
| Slart | CorruptTerrorist: open a terminal.. if you want to search all files in a certain folder for terrorist you would type grep "terrorist" * | 23:03 |
| Cew27 | amenado: no i just deleted txt before :P | 23:03 |
| cge_ | CorruptTerrorist: It's very much like most other commands; -R is for recursive, and so on. | 23:03 |
| Cew27 | hischild: yes but it made the grub look untidy | 23:04 |
| alvarezp | Does anybody know a lightweight IMAP client that doesn't write anything to the hard disk? (to use for on-the-fly testing and administration) | 23:04 |
| Slart | CorruptTerrorist: there are switches to enable recursive file search.. case sensitivity... regular expressions etc etc | 23:04 |
| cge_ | CorruptTerrorist: There are a few things to note, however, such as the fact that '.' in the search string stands for one of any character, and so on. | 23:04 |
| hischild | Cew27, yeah ... but that means that you can just edit the boot line by removing those 2 options and adding the sinel | 23:04 |
| hischild | *single | 23:04 |
| revilodraw | throughout bootup, an error message quickly appears - eth1: error fetching device information: device not found. i am using eth1 now, it is my wireless, and it works fine. any ideas? | 23:04 |

| pardusman | I am trying to configure Proftpd on Ubuntu Linux in SSH. I have been researching all evening on getting the filing permissions right but its getting a bit complex. Basically I need to set the correct permissions in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf.. and what I want is to block all access to all folders except a folder called /var/www with all the contents withing www being unblocked ? | 23:06 |
| jack-desktop | Slart, I want to know where the files are located | 23:06 |
| cge | jack-desktop, Slart: Firefox is actually in /usr/lib/firefox or /usr/lib/mozilla, if I recall correctly. | 23:07 |
| Slart | jack-desktop: firefox is probably installed in many locations.. bookmarks and settings in ~/.mozilla/firefox , binaries in /usr/local/firefox or something similar | 23:07 |
| Slart | jack-desktop: and that command I gave you didn't work? | 23:07 |
| amenado | pardusman-> can you paste in pastebin your proftpd.conf ? | 23:07 |
| danand | kestir - rar a -v15000k -vn archive files ?? | 23:07 |
| cge | Slart: That will give the launch script for firefox, which probably isn't what he's looking for. | 23:07 |
| pike_ | pardusman: i was going to point you to help.ubuntu.com but the proftpd page is extreamly sparse | 23:08 |
| jack-desktop | Slart, no, i was looing for /usr/lib/mozilla/, thanks cge | 23:08 |
| Slart | cge: that's odd.. on my computer it lists about 5 or 6 folders | 23:08 |
| cge | jack-desktop: It is /usr/lib/mozilla? | 23:08 |
| jack-desktop | yes | 23:08 |
| cge | jack-desktop: Strange; I thought it was changed to /usr/lib/firefox years ago. Oh well... | 23:08 |
| pardusman | ok guys | 23:09 |
| Slart | cge, jack-desktop: this is what "whereis firefox" outputs on my computer.. "firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/lib64/firefox /usr/share/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz" | 23:09 |

| kestir | hischild: ok...which version? | 23:35 |
| Slart | kestir: xubuntu of course | 23:35 |
| seb962 | Cew27: You need to find the menu.lst file. It should be in the /grub folder. gediting that file will let you set your desired partition as default. | 23:35 |
| kestir | hischild: I'm pretty sure the latest version is too heavy. | 23:35 |
| hischild | kestir, imo that'd be 7.10 .... or use xubuntu as Slart suggests | 23:35 |
| KlrSpz | <3 xfce | 23:35 |
| hischild | kestir, hmm .. might be .. though all my vm's run fine on 128 meg ... | 23:35 |

| hischild | kestir, if Slart thinks it's to heavy ... he's probably right ... but you can always get xubuntu | 23:36 |
| x9x | slart, but if I have a yet even older computer, with 112 MB memory? | 23:36 |
| KlrSpz | kestir: yes; xubuntu is pretty light | 23:36 |
| Slart | kestir: well.. it isn't stripped down.. but it uses xfce instead of gnome.. gnome is a big big boy | 23:36 |

| KlrSpz | Karsyth: use aptitude or synaptic | 23:39 |
| artenius | when I do a netstat -a | grep irc, I have an entry that says "ircd ---> LISTEN"... is this the default in ubuntu? cause I surely don't want an ircd running. maybe I'm confused | 23:39 |
| Karsyth | KlrSpz: im going to go eat dinner and come back and try that | 23:39 |
| KlrSpz | Karsyth: but just deleting the ~/.wine folder also won't get rid of the steam shortcuts, those are stored elsewhere | 23:40 |
| Slart | Karsyth: wine itself doesn't use much space.. the .wine folder does.. but run this in a terminal.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge wine" | 23:40 |

| theunixgeek | Where can I download pdftops and pstopdf from source? Previous versions preferred. | 23:41 |
| seb962 | cew Let's take alook | 23:41 |
| seb962 | Cew27 That's all??? | 23:42 |
| KlrSpz | Karsyth: well steam would only know about the drive stored under your wine folder.. but wine knows more and would store the shortcuts elsewhere (the shortcuts are made by wine)... steam should have only actually been stored in your wine folder | 23:42 |
| gbz | gintu: it might be "users" but look it up first | 23:42 |

| Slart | mauro_rioiv: yes.. and perhaps clean the cache first.. "sudo apt-get clean" | 23:45 |
| amenado | steve176-> that seem reasonable | 23:45 |
| Patti | Should i install it even if there is errors on the cd | 23:45 |
| mauro_rioiv | cool i try that .tks | 23:45 |
| seb962 | Cew27 Amenado is correct, Cew, you're missing some pasting there :) In order to use the Default command to specify which partition to boot first you have to know what partition number you're talking about. | 23:45 |

| seb962 | Cew https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto?highlight=%28grub%29 can give you a further understanding of how Grub works. | 23:47 |
| Slart | artenius: it might be something else listening on a port that usually used for ircd.. could be ICQ, msn.. or whatever | 23:47 |

| Slart | Karsyth: doesn't look that bad.. you might be able to get rid of some of the stuff in /var but apart from that it looks like a normal ubuntu system | 23:48 |
| artenius | Slart: makes sense except I'm not running any of that. Only Xchat and firefox | 23:49 |
| uncorq | I need pointers on creating /dev/ttyUSB* for a serial-to-usb device - I know it involves mknod but I seem to lose the device after reboot :/ | 23:49 |
| amenado | Juan what do you mean everytime you go to xp it overrides grub? can you clarify? | 23:49 |
| gbz | gintu: not sure then if they don't do it | 23:49 |
| Slart | artenius: what port is it? | 23:49 |
| amenado | uncorq-> cd /dev ; Makedev | 23:49 |
| mauro_rioiv | Slart: i clean the cache, and download again ... and i have the same error ... | 23:49 |
| Juan | amenado, i meant xp sets itself to boot instead of grub | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | What is the command to list all groups? And what about to list all users? "groups" only lists the groups I am in. Thanks! | 23:50 |
| Slart | mauro_rioiv: then the package on the server might be broken.. it happens | 23:50 |

| amenado | Juan-> grub provides you a menu, xp is one of the entry..so what is the issue once you select xp? | 23:50 |
| Karsyth | Slart: the thing is when i first installed ubuntu, i got wine then i got steam and i installed CS:S, HL:1, a mod for HL:1 and DoW Dark crusade which took up about 10GB total | 23:50 |
| artenius | Slart: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:31337 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN | 23:50 |
| Odd-rationale | pike_: Thanks! and how about for users? | 23:51 |

| gbz | cat /etc/passwd | 23:52 |
| Slart | Karsyth: hmm.. that's odd... all that should have gone with the .wine folder.. but your home folder isn't taking up more than what.. 900 MB now.. so no steam there | 23:52 |
| Karsyth | Slart: now you see my problem? | 23:52 |
| amenado | Juan paste in pastebin your menu.lst | 23:52 |

| Odd-rationale | amenado: yeah, thanks | 23:53 |
| artenius | Slart: no, I just installed ubuntu yesterday, I've not installed any servers | 23:53 |
| gbz | maybe try #>cat /etc/passwd |grep 500* | 23:53 |
| hischild | Slart, Karsyth, if you remove wine/steam, it does not remove all the gcf's ... you can try and do " find / | grep *.gcf " or something along those lines. ... | 23:53 |
