Canaris_ | hey | 00:03 |
chris710 | aeratic>sorry^^ | 00:04 |
Canaris_ | I am currently running Ubuntu 7.10 alpha and I was wondering If installing Ubuntu Server (7.10) would give me the possibility to end up with a more minimal system after the installation? | 00:04 |
chris710 | aetaric | 00:04 |
Canaris_ | oops...forget the 'alpha' | 00:04 |
fk7_se | anyone here using google adsense | 00:04 |
Odd-rationale | stefg: brb | 00:04 |
* Canaris_ does | 00:05 |
stefg | !minimal | Canaris_ | 00:05 |
ubotu | Canaris_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 00:05 |
kindofabuzz | Canaris_: server edition is ubuntu without the GUI | 00:05 |
kindofabuzz | plus some more stuff can be added at install | 00:05 |
aetaric | its all good...run cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep mouse | 00:05 |
Canaris_ | well I cant use the minimal cd, because i only have a wifi connection (WPA) available | 00:05 |
Canaris_ | so netinstall CDs are pretty much out of the question | 00:05 |
Canaris_ | fk7_se, what do u wanna know abbuot adsense? | 00:06 |
subsume | I used the ubuntu upgrade instructions from Feisty to Gusty and now my computer starts up and only shows a blinking underscore. | 00:06 |
fk7_se | well one thing i want to know is can you put it on a googlepage page | 00:06 |
chris710 | aetaric>grep mouse? | 00:06 |
fk7_se | and is it worth it? | 00:06 |
Canaris_ | googlepage page?? | 00:06 |
stefg | Canaris_: you can still use a repo on CD... | 00:07 |
aetaric | | grep mouse | 00:07 |
Odd-rationale | stefg: nope | 00:07 |
Stroganoff | subsume: do you see the grub "loading.." screen beforehand? | 00:07 |
stefg | !install | Canaris_ | 00:07 |
ubotu | Canaris_: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall. Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 00:07 |

chris710 | Driver "mouse" | 00:14 |
kindofabuzz | is there a linux utility or command that will list my motherboard make and model? | 00:14 |
stefg | kindofabuzz: usually this is caused by restricted drivers misbehaving, or half-broken acpi (which is mended by dirty hacks in other OS's). but the gutsy kernel isn't the best one anyway, so wait for hardy | 00:14 |

wantE17style | aetaric yes I agree | 00:24 |

amias | wantE17style, they can happen , is it one particular ip or lots ? | 00:24 |

amias | wantE17style, what does the server do , where is it hosted ? | 00:25 |
Stroganoff | pantaloon: that seems to be an UDF limitation | 00:25 |
Strife89 | When I run certain programs, the application "taskbar" says it's starting the program, but soon after, it stops. This happens especially with games, so I assume that Ubuntu is stopping them from running because it fears the graphic load will slow it down too much. Any suggestions to force it to let the app run anyway? | 00:25 |

wantE17style | but I need different hardware :P | 00:40 |
aetaric | lol wantE17style: what you gonna do about the IOS? know IOS commands? | 00:41 |
[Hardy]TuTUXG | !envy | RxDx | 00:41 |
ubotu | RxDx: 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 » | 00:41 |
wantE17style | :P no - I am a newbie to linux :P what is IOS? :-/ | 00:41 |
askand | Hi! I dont really know how this works..but on the ALSA site one can read about the Creative Labs X-Fi this: "Card delivered to developers. Completely new architecture. Creative actively preventing support due to no datasheets being released to ALSA developers. Reverse engineering work not started due to lack of time.". However the OSS-driver do support this card, cant ALSA use the OSS-code? | 00:41 |
aetaric | IOS is the cisco systems firmware...it is cli | 00:42 |
subsume | stefg i don't think its restricted because an identical hardware machine doesn't have the wifi card in the device manager | 00:42 |
subsume | not as restricted anyway | 00:42 |
subsume | how can i tell what the card is? | 00:42 |
wantE17style | ohhh , I planned to install dd-wrt on the cisco router :P | 00:42 |
rsk | askand: kinda like saying, can't IE use FF code? | 00:42 |
wantE17style | can I do that? | 00:42 |
stefg | subsume: lspci | grep VGA | 00:42 |
aetaric | no GUI there and you have to buy a router online off the cisco site to get IOS | 00:42 |
astheglorious | hello, a little help | 00:42 |
aetaric | no | 00:42 |
michealPW | I volunteered to deploy Ubuntu v7.10 on my friend's Audio Recording computer. I was hoping to get 2 audio cards working, | 00:42 |
aetaric | IOS is the only thing that will run | 00:42 |
wantE17style | oh, damn :( | 00:42 |
michealPW | Which I have, hehe... My problem is Cakewalk SONAR and WINE:/ | 00:42 |
subsume | stefg oh thaty | 00:43 |
moogmusic | when i suspend ubuntu 7.10 at my laptop, i dont have a network connection anymore after resuming from suspend. wny help ? | 00:43 |
subsume | stefg: i thought we were talking about the wifi card? | 00:43 |
askand | rsk: hmm..but isnt there a difference between drivers and programs? | 00:43 |
michealPW | Has anyone had success? Anyone know of good alternatives or advice to SONAR with Ubuntu? | 00:43 |
wantE17style | there are lots of cisco routers for sale on ebay tho :-/ but no software included | 00:43 |
kindofabuzz | wantE17style: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices | 00:43 |

subsume | stefg its nVidia Corporation NV6 Vanta/Vanta LT | 00:43 |
subsume | rev 15 | 00:43 |
stefg | subsume: no... obviously your x server (the part which does the gui) doesn't work | 00:43 |
wantE17style | kindofabuzz - I checked already - my router isn't supported :( | 00:44 |
subsume | stefg well the wifi stopped working too | 00:44 |
askand | michealPW: yea..ok I see | 00:44 |
stefg | subsume: so did you use automatix/envy ? | 00:44 |
FearedBliss | does debian etch 4.0r3 have WPA support for Original Airport out of the box ? | 00:44 |
FearedBliss | I know 8.04 alpha 6 has it | 00:45 |
michealPW | askand: Basically, drivers are software libraries that expose functions, which the operating system uses to interact with your hardware at the kernel level, IIRC. | 00:45 |
[Hardy]TuTUXG | !debian FearedBliss | 00:45 |
subsume | stefg: no idea what you are talking about | 00:45 |
[Hardy]TuTUXG | !debian | FearedBliss | 00:45 |
ubotu | FearedBliss: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 00:45 |
FearedBliss | [Hardy]TuTUXG, I already know that its based on it.. the question is does debian have WPA support.. Ubuntu tends to go custom kernel on everyone | 00:46 |
[Hardy]TuTUXG | #debian? | 00:46 |
FearedBliss | lets c | 00:46 |
stefg | subsume: try 'sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy' then 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start' | 00:47 |

subsume | man/woman =) | 00:48 |
stefg | subsume: ah yes... forgaot | 00:48 |
subsume | stefg: its weird because I updated another machine just fine | 00:48 |
subsume | (not just fine, its can't do 1200x) | 00:48 |
michealPW | Perhaps I could use my friends system to test the latest build of Ubuntu Studio, then:/ | 00:49 |
stefg | subsume: so check in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if the driver is set to 'nvidia'. change it to 'nv' temporarily and see if that gives you a gui for starters | 00:49 |
michealPW | I really hope I can get SONAR to work, or at least find something of comparable quality, else I'll have a real hard time preaching the Ubuntu gospel:( | 00:49 |

aetaric | laptor: one is a cd the other is a dvd | 00:50 |
flick | laptor, dvd contains more packages, which you have to download (if you want to install) if you have a cd | 00:51 |
meteor | witam | 00:51 |
Stroganoff | flick: does it wake up with sudo if-up | 00:51 |

FullMon-T | help. | 00:55 |
kindofabuzz | !alternate | 00:55 |
ubotu | The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD. Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal | 00:55 |

danand | jedi-alex - try editing the kernel options at the boot screen - press f6 and remove "quiet splash" - then boot. You should see where and what is causing the install or boot to hang | 00:57 |
michealPW | laptor: I don't believe KDE is on the Ubuntu DVD, unless you mean the Kubuntu DVD. It's in the repositories, however. | 00:57 |
michealPW | Are they called repositories? I mean to say, you can install it with the Synaptic Package Manager:) | 00:57 |

stefg | subsume: ok... so you ended in desaster (like many others). you can spend 6 hours in troubleshooting now, or 2 hours for taking a backup of your data, wiping the disk, install hardy beta from scratch, and restore your personal files | 01:01 |
GullyFoyle | I would use Limewire if I were a knob-gobbling tool | 01:01 |
michealPW | haha GullyFoyle. | 01:01 |
kindofabuzz | GullyFoyle: ? | 01:01 |

Stroganoff | tifine_: i cant find any confirmation at google related to your specific problem. just many people with movie playing without sound | 01:18 |

Stroganoff | nathan42100: there may be a hotkey for switching sessions. anyway you could create a blank session with your choosing script and your mount stuff | 01:29 |
LumberCartel | I've found a few other poor families without computers -- the kids will be using Ubuntu with OpenOffice.org for their homework. I've been giving these machines away for free. | 01:29 |

LumberCartel | c-ron: I've already promised these machines to other -- they're 1 GHz AMD Durons so they're quite slow. When I get more I'll ask around here though if I can't find good homes for them. | 01:30 |

tbwnoob_ | okay | 01:35 |
Dr_willis | LumberCartel, gparted will show them also - of course. but fdisk -l is a good command to get a list of all the disns on a system | 01:35 |

Schmeiz | crackheadjunky: where can i find the drivers? ATI's site is no help, it gives me a .run file that i cant use | 01:41 |
Stroganoff | oops ;) | 01:42 |
c-ron | Stroganoff, mplayer plays it. i just checked | 01:42 |
crackheadjunky | Schmeiz, use synaptic | 01:42 |
Stroganoff | navetz: install mozilla-mplayer with those medibuntu repos | 01:42 |
tbwnoob | <Schmeiz>install envy | 01:42 |
crackheadjunky | Schmeiz, type in ati in the search in synaptic | 01:42 |
navetz | Stroganoff: alright, thanks. | 01:42 |
Dr_willis | Schmeiz, some people use the ati installer (which is that .run file) - but its not reccomended.. envy is not recomended either. :) but good luck | 01:42 |
LumberCartel | Dr_willis: Thanks. I'm familiar with some of this stuff from NetBSD. It seems that Linux does things quite differently. | 01:42 |
urthmover | I have manually compiled the nvidia drivers and everything looks good (resolution etc.) when I reboot ubuntu says that it can't detect the graphics adaptor and then boots in a low graphics configuration.

revned | Hello. I'm having trouble setting up Twinview. Whenever I set the settings and hit apply and save file. The changes dont take affect after I restart the X Server | 01:42 |
LumberCartel | Dr_willis, thanks again for all your help. I'll be reading for a while then I'll return if I have any more questions. | 01:42 |
Dr_willis | LumberCartel, bsd names the drives in a different way also.. GRUB also names them in a different way also. :) | 01:43 |
tbwnoob | <Stroganoff any luck on which version of driver i should use | 01:43 |
LumberCartel | Yup. | 01:43 |

subsume | crackheadjunky: just msg me? | 01:47 |
urthmover | :-S | 01:47 |
tbwnoob | <Stroganoff i need to restart then i will get you me my var .log | 01:47 |
tbwnoob | brb | 01:47 |
Dr_willis | urthmover, :) is there some reason you dident use the restricted-manager tools and used the nvidis installer? | 01:47 |
urthmover | I was scrolled down all the way | 01:48 |
digitalslave | anyone know why msn support would suddenly stop working with pidgin and how i can fix it? | 01:48 |
crackheadjunky | subsume, i thought you could get another room here, guess not... | 01:48 |
urthmover | that is what I did Dr Willis | 01:48 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: =) | 01:48 |
urthmover | using the restriced tools | 01:48 |
urthmover | I do both | 01:48 |
peter- | I did update my ubuntu to hardy beta. Its good but when i launch compiz, it wont show borders. I have installed emerald. I have ati's graphic card. | 01:48 |
crackheadjunky | subsume, ifconfig sees it? | 01:48 |
peter- | Hi! | 01:48 |
peter- | I did update my ubuntu to hardy beta. Its good but when i launch compiz, it wont show borders. I have installed emerald. I have ati's graphic card. | 01:48 |
c-ron | urthmover, tried envy? | 01:48 |
crackheadjunky | subsume, do you see your network in the list? | 01:48 |
peter- | Sorry spam :S | 01:48 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: the device? yeah? but the device ahs no IP or anything | 01:48 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: yeah, its there. | 01:48 |
urthmover | and it works...but when I reboot nothing sticks...and yes I havve Envy installed | 01:48 |
Integration | hey guys i'm using drupal6 when I try to do changes to the navigation like disable or drag and move an item and then save it won't make the change. Any ideas? | 01:48 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: i just can't connecto internet | 01:49 |
Dr_willis | urthmover, thats what you said. :) or thats now how i read it.. - 'I have manually compiled the nvidia' is not using restricted-manager | 01:49 |
poseidon | For somereason I can't get a wireless connection anymore. When I click on the network manager the wireless netowkrs don't show up anymore. and when I click on manual configuration wireless networks still doesn't show up as an option. However if I go to the network editor I can see the last reuter I was on, and it's info | 01:49 |
BysmuthMage | if i'm out of CDs can I just burn the ubuntu live cd image to a DVD and use that? (the target machine does have a DVD drive) | 01:49 |
poseidon | In hardy Heron. I'm in xp right now | 01:49 |
crackheadjunky | subsume, ok, have you configured wep or anything? | 01:49 |
digitalslave | complains of ssl support and im assuming its tied to the firefox install but the libs seem to be there | 01:49 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: lots of other computers are using web just fine (including me now) | 01:49 |
urthmover | well I meant that the nvidia precompile kernel program from a CLI was done | 01:49 |
Dr_willis | urthmover, check your kernel versions, also check your xorg.conf to see if its some how getting changed. I guess. Its possible by trying envy, or other tools. you may have confused some things. | 01:49 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: fresh install of ubuntu didn't get the network right | 01:49 |
crackheadjunky | subsume, do you have the network encrypted? | 01:49 |
subsume | crackheadjunky: no | 01:50 |
urthmover | possibly I'll look there thanks | 01:50 |

Stroganoff | peter-: open a terminal (alt+f2 -> xterm) and type compiz --replace | 01:51 |
peter- | Stroganoff, How i can upgrade to beta? | 01:52 |
Stroganoff | peter-: see if there are errors | 01:52 |
BysmuthMage | oh 8.04 for ati cards just do "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz" | 01:52 |
kindofabuzz | kopete rocks | 01:52 |
Stroganoff | peter-: you HAVE upgraded to beta (HARDY is beta) | 01:52 |
BysmuthMage | in terminal | 01:52 |
digitalslave | firefox is installed in /usr/lib/firefox and the firefox beta has been placed in /usr/bin/firefox3 | 01:52 |

peter- | Stroganoff, I mean compiz and emerald | 01:52 |
c-ron | kubuntu hardy has kde 3.5, but remix has 4? | 01:53 |
digitalslave | err /usr/lib/firefox3 that is | 01:53 |
Stroganoff | peter-: noobs shouldnt go beta. post you logfiles with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org into #ubuntu+1 or just give up on compiz for now ;) | 01:53 |
digitalslave | firefox3 is great but seems its borked my ssl support in pidgin? | 01:53 |
Stroganoff | i see, peter- | 01:53 |
kindofabuzz | what does firefox have to do with pidgen? | 01:54 |
crackheadjunky | digitalslave, thats weird | 01:54 |
crackheadjunky | digitalslave, i dont believe that is the problem with pidgin... | 01:54 |
Stroganoff | digitalslave: install firefox-2 | 01:54 |
digitalslave | ive read the ssl libs are contained in the firefox folder? | 01:54 |
crackheadjunky | digitalslave, not for pidgin, i dont think | 01:54 |
digitalslave | ive removed and reinstalled both firefox and pidgin from repos and its still borked | 01:54 |
kindofabuzz | digital: try the firefox forums, forums.mozillazine.org | 01:55 |
Stroganoff | digitalslave: or have you installed firefox3 manually over your old firefox? | 01:55 |
Stroganoff | are you on gutsy? | 01:55 |
mannex | Every time I try to update or install a package it additionally tries to install "sun-java6-doc (6-03-0ubuntu2)". I think the reason for this is because I tried to install the sun-java6-doc in the past and it failed, now it tries to perform this operation every time, and it always fails. How can I remove this package from the list so it does not try to update at all? | 01:55 |
digitalslave | no firefox3 is kept seperate in /usr/lib/firefox3 - yes gutsy | 01:55 |
tifine_ | Stroganoff, when its gonna do the conversion does it gonna make the 8gb .avi file or 700mb file ? | 01:55 |

Stroganoff | digitalslave: still, you should install fx3 with the swiftfox repos for now | 01:56 |
whyameye_ | is there a way in the Gnome environment to prevent applications from stealing focus? | 01:57 |
digitalslave | all i know is shortly after running firefox3 msn disconnected and hasnt been able to utilize ssl since | 01:57 |
Stroganoff | tifine_ that depends on your settings in that conversion manager and of the bitrate of the mkv. you should use a bitrate between 900 and 1100 kbit/s for your output file | 01:57 |
Stroganoff | if its not HD | 01:57 |
kindofabuzz | digitalslave: does this help any? http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQssl | 01:57 |
digitalslave | i read that it just says to build it yourself | 01:58 |
Stroganoff | digitalslave: sudo apt-get purge firefox | 01:58 |
tifine_ | Stroganoff, I just installed the mencoder and use the simple command i.e. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MEncoder | 01:58 |
digitalslave | but ssl should be included in the gutsy repo no? | 01:58 |
Stroganoff | and remove ~/.mozilla | 01:58 |

tifine_ | xp_prg_, on router, which one do you have ? | 01:58 |
kindofabuzz | Libpurple needs to be compiled with SSL support in order to work with MSN, Novell GroupWise, and some Jabber/XMPP servers which support or require it, such as Google Talk. You will need either GNUTLS and all its dependencies or Mozilla NSS and NSPR. | 01:58 |
digitalslave | doing the purge - didnt do that before just removed | 01:58 |

Schmeiz | is samba really supposed to take this long to communicate? | 02:03 |
prince_jammys | AnthraxDream: check the output of: grep ntfs /etc/fstab | 02:03 |
kindofabuzz | digitalslave: Uninstall any previous versions of Pidgin using apt, Synaptic, or similar. Then install the libnss3-dev package with Synaptic or apt-get install libnss3-dev. Now re-run ./configure, make, make install. Alternatively, use apt-get build-dep gaim (or pidgin on Gusty, although gaim will work) to get all of Pidgin's dependencies, then rebuild Pidgin. | 02:03 |
Schmeiz | i sent a job to the tray over 2 minutes ago | 02:03 |
prince_jammys | AnthraxDream: and you will see the line, if it's there | 02:03 |
AnthraxDream | Well it was showing up before. It just stopped like 20 minutes ago | 02:03 |
crackheadjunky | AnthraxDream, you could do what prince says, or you could just gedit fstab | 02:03 |
kindofabuzz | taken from http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQssl | 02:03 |

Stroganoff | crackheadjunky: gedit + config files sucks, even non sudo :p | 02:04 |
crackheadjunky | Stroganoff, it works... | 02:04 |
digitalslave | it was working and just stopped after running firefox3 | 02:04 |
Stroganoff | on the other hand. nvm | 02:04 |
peter- | Stroganoff, Did the line end on and or are you pasting new line? | 02:04 |
Stroganoff | peter- yes there was more to this line | 02:04 |
Stroganoff | you log is not that long | 02:04 |
Stroganoff | you are able to ctrl+f gconf | 02:05 |
peter- | ok | 02:05 |
crackheadjunky | AnthraxDream, you could also go to terminal and type in fdisk -l | 02:05 |
digitalslave | Stroganoff, they trapped the error so it just says there is no ssl support | 02:05 |

eraemaajaervi | q=a | 02:05 |
MFen | i've already tried right-clicking the dvd icon to see whether i could change the app the same way you would change the app for an .mp3 file or something. no option in that properties dialog would do it, though | 02:06 |
Schmeiz | can i disable the login for ubuntu at the start? | 02:06 |
michealPW | Stroganoff: Yea, well, in Gedit's configuration you can disable the creation of the ~ backups, IIRC. | 02:06 |
MFen | it's also not in system > preferences > preferred applications | 02:06 |
michealPW | Stroganoff: Added fileIO weight anyways, right?:) | 02:06 |

michealPW | Stroganoff: I'm newbie, but I have a feeling Gedit and Kate build from the same OSS project, heehee:) | 02:07 |
crackheadjunky | GEIS, just boot the disk, it is a live cd, then install it with the install icon | 02:07 |

GEIS | Hi, im going to install ubuntu for my server, however how do i have a gui access instead of sshing into the server since i will be installing ubuntu-desktop as well? (what i mean is how to i connect it with a gui access instead of sshing) | 02:10 |
Stroganoff | GEIS bad idea to install the desktop | 02:10 |
Stroganoff | if you dont want to surf and watch movies on the server | 02:11 |
Stroganoff | there are web interface projects for servers | 02:11 |

izzy_ | not much has changed with ubuntu server since 5.1 has it ? | 02:11 |
Stroganoff | for basic/ultimate remote access you have to install the "ssh" package, you can access it from windows with "putty" | 02:11 |
Stroganoff | GIES | 02:12 |
Stroganoff | GEIS | 02:12 |
GEIS | ? | 02:12 |
jbinder | Yes it has.. | 02:12 |
peter- | Stroganoff, Was there that other line? | 02:12 |
Stroganoff | GEIS, read my messages. | 02:12 |
Stroganoff | above | 02:12 |
GEIS | i know | 02:12 |
Stroganoff | k | 02:12 |
GEIS | but i need the use of amule | 02:12 |
Stroganoff | use mldonkey, GEIS | 02:12 |
GEIS | and amule nongui version doesn't work perfectly | 02:12 |
GEIS | Stroganoff, nongui? | 02:13 |
Stroganoff | yep | 02:13 |
h0ax | when i try to install ndisgtk it says some of the packages could not be retrieved from the server | 02:13 |
MFen | where do i change the preference that causes totem to launch when i insert a dvd? | 02:14 |
Stroganoff | GEIS: if you really want to install a desktop you should use xubuntu + the "vino" vnc server | 02:14 |
moogmusic | when i suspend ubuntu 7.10 at my laptop, i dont have a network connection anymore after resuming from suspend. wny help ? | 02:14 |
GEIS | Stroganoff, using a web interface to control mldonkey? | 02:14 |
moogmusic | how can i restart my wifi after resuming (and it doesnt work) | 02:14 |
moogmusic | ifconfig up/down doesnt work | 02:15 |
Stroganoff | GEIS, web interface is built into mldonkey | 02:15 |
Stroganoff | read some docs about mldonkey... | 02:15 |
GEIS | only vnc server works with gui access? no inbuild applications that allows me to setup gui control? | 02:16 |
Stroganoff | GEIS, you can use X forwarding | 02:16 |
Stroganoff | rather complicated and doesnt work with windows | 02:16 |
Kubuntu-user | I've installed commercial drivers for nvidia tnt2.after that i ran my os once more.my ubuntu 7.04 is up to date.problem:hi-res=800x600 | 02:16 |
HinHin | Stroganoff, X11 forwarding is really simple | 02:16 |
HinHin | and you can SSH the remote machine using windows too | 02:17 |
Stroganoff | anyway GEIS, you may not want to install a desktop but keep it nice and easy with mldonkey | 02:17 |
HinHin | (via something like putty) | 02:17 |
Stroganoff | HinHin, thanks for the heads up | 02:17 |
HinHin | hmm... if memory serves you need to enable it in the sshconfig file | 02:17 |
GEIS | how do i install mldonkey if i have no gui in the first place to control the web interface? | 02:18 |
Stroganoff | GEIS, you set up mldonkey with the command line | 02:18 |
Stroganoff | and config files | 02:18 |
Stroganoff | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto | 02:19 |
Stroganoff | and read the manpage or a beginner tutorial about mldonkey | 02:19 |
peter- | Stroganoff, Can you help me with this compiz? | 02:19 |
Jangari | Is there a way to restart to a particular entry of the menu.lst from a command line? | 02:19 |
Stroganoff | peter-, i have almost no own experience with compiz | 02:19 |
HinHin | Stroganoff, and GEIS you might want to look into X11 fowarding | 02:19 |
HinHin | http://thebadness.org/2007/09/x11-forwarding-in-ubuntu/ | 02:19 |
peter- | Ok | 02:19 |
peter- | Then | 02:19 |
HinHin | i do recommend a fast connection though... | 02:20 |
Stroganoff | HinHin: always promoting the cause? ;) | 02:20 |

Stroganoff | nope | 02:20 |

digitalslave | nebnav, yes you can | 02:40 |
kindofabuzz | rsk: use chatzilla! | 02:40 |
kindofabuzz | firefox addon | 02:40 |
daved | kindofabuzz, that's kinda like saying "that hammer sucks, here have a rock" | 02:40 |
nebnav | what are you using? i presume your on a linux based os(ubuntu). | 02:41 |
kindofabuzz | what's wrong with chatzilla? better tha an im plugin and xchat | 02:41 |
daved | i use xchat with a bunch of preferences tweaked | 02:41 |
daved | and blacktheme | 02:41 |

daved | nathan42100, it could | 02:45 |
daved | nathan42100, it's all up to your windowmanager to deal with trash | 02:45 |

pantaloon | kindofabuzz, not really...i've already tried K3b v1.0.4 and it's a no go...i've managed to create an iso file using genisoimage from the command line, but i was hoping there'd be a more graphical method if you know what I mean | 02:50 |
tehquickness | Anyone notice that 8.04 is much slower than 7.10?? is this due to Gnome 2.2?? | 02:50 |
Stroganoff | w30 wait until you run into problems ;) | 02:50 |
themoebius | daved: it says update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/boinc-client exists during rc.d purge (use -f to force) | 02:50 |
nebnav | Stroganoff: thanks but is there some sort of batch script that will install deps and then convert? | 02:50 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: does it boot with onboard? | 02:50 |

kindofabuzz | digitalslave: Why can't I use OpenSSL for SSL support in libpurple? ¶ | 02:50 |
kindofabuzz | The OpenSSL license is not compatible with the libpurple license (GPLv2). The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of open-source licenses and details their compatibility or incompatibility with the GPL. The OpenSSL license is discussed there. | 02:50 |
Schmiez | ythe1300: yah it boots with onboard | 02:50 |
kindofabuzz | In summary: you need GNUTLS or Mozilla NSS and NSPR; OpenSSL will not do. | 02:50 |
daved | themoebius, update-rc.d -f boinc-client remove | 02:50 |
nathan42100 | daved, is it still trash:/// | 02:51 |

ythe1300 | Schmiez: Have you tried booting with the Onboard turned off in the BIOS | 02:51 |
Stroganoff | GEIS: just install mldonkey with sudo apt-get install mldonkey | 02:51 |
daved | themoebius, technically you need to set it to kill at runlevel 3, but the link or software pici linked will be much more helpful to you if you're not sure what i mean by that | 02:51 |
Schmiez | no i havent. i'll try that real quick | 02:51 |
Stroganoff | then read the manpage with: man mldonkey | 02:51 |
digitalslave | then why is libpurple0 a dependency of pidgin? | 02:51 |
pantaloon | kindofabuzz, I'm trying to burn said iso file now | 02:51 |
daved | themoebius, but running that command will disable it for now (though it may begin autostarting again if boinc-client package upgrades) | 02:51 |
daved | nathan42100, im really not sure, i dont run xfce4 | 02:52 |
daved | nathan42100, it may not use the trash at all | 02:52 |

Stroganoff | GEIS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mldonkey | 02:53 |
Scunizi | nathan42100, in Gnome if you delete something it's gone.. If you send it to trash it lands in the "trash can" | 02:53 |

Stroganoff | i started with suse 7.3 on ten cds ;) | 02:57 |
Schmiez | ythe1300: how do i go about doing that? | 02:57 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: giv e me a sec and I'll remember how too. | 02:57 |
fab4fan | cory__, I had better luck with XP installed first | 02:57 |
fab4fan | cory: that's what I'm doing now | 02:58 |
kindofabuzz | cory__: yeah it's possible, google it though, unless someone here knows what to do | 02:58 |
Schmiez | ok | 02:58 |
daved | cory: you can, but you'll need to fix the boot-loader after windows clobbers it | 02:58 |
daved | cory: there are about a gajillion hits on google for that very topic i'd imagine | 02:58 |
kindofabuzz | why would you wanna install it though? =) | 02:58 |
cory__ | to play games | 02:58 |
h0ax | ah | 02:58 |
Stroganoff | cory__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoverGrub | 02:58 |
w30 | cory__: windows likes the first partition on the first hard drive so watch out and also windows will redo the mbr. | 02:59 |
kindofabuzz | have you looked at www.winehq.com to see if possible to play uneder wine? | 02:59 |
daved | cory: may want to give wine/cedega a shot with your games first.. could possibly save yourself the trouble of dualboot | 02:59 |
ythe1300 | it's like edit x.org config | 02:59 |
ythe1300 | :/ | 02:59 |
cory__ | I did try wine, It doesnt play sound from my USB headphones | 02:59 |
Stroganoff | rather quake3 for ever than using wine for games ^^ | 02:59 |
fab4fan | can you rename a mount point after it's been created ? | 02:59 |

ythe1300 | Schmiez : let me boot my box up brb | 02:59 |
Schmiez | ok | 02:59 |
kindofabuzz | so you're gonna install windows just so your usb headphones will work? | 03:00 |
kindofabuzz | i'm ure there's a fix for it | 03:00 |
cory__ | cedega sounded like a good idea, but i dont wanna pay | 03:00 |
daved | cory: you have to pay for windows | 03:00 |
cory__ | i dont | 03:00 |
cory__ | it comes free for me | 03:00 |
kindofabuzz | cedage cheaper than windows | 03:00 |
icesword | you ve payed to it | 03:00 |
Stroganoff | ok all, lets move this cedega-vs-windows talk to #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:01 |

kindofabuzz | anyone tried Mepis? any good? | 03:01 |
w30 | kindofabuzz: Does ndiswrapper work with all windows drivers or just with a few like wireless and winmodems? | 03:01 |
cory__ | well i tried to dualboot ubuntu from windows XP, but my partition with windows on it dissapeared | 03:01 |
kindofabuzz | w30: dunno =) | 03:01 |
cory__ | so i cant access that. and my hd is 100gigs smaller according to Gparted | 03:01 |
fab4fan | cory: you have to be careful when you set up the partition for ubuntu to not write over the windows partition | 03:01 |
digitalslave | and you dont HAVE to pay for cedega - build it yourself or use wine | 03:02 |

Schmiez | lol yeah of course, its never that easy :P | 03:05 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: gnome? | 03:05 |
w30 | fab4fan: you need to edit /etc/fstab. If you don't know how then check out google and see what advice comes up there. | 03:05 |
daved | nebnav: (as root) mount -o loop /path/to/.img /mnt/point | 03:05 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: hmm? what about gnome? | 03:05 |
kindofabuzz | what WM are you trying to start? | 03:05 |
Schmiez | ubuntu | 03:05 |
Schmiez | i've got an ATI Raedon 9250 PCI card | 03:06 |
kindofabuzz | so gnome? | 03:06 |
Schmiez | and i can't get ubuntu to show up with it | 03:06 |
Schmiez | yea gnome | 03:06 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: try this dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:06 |
nebnav | daved: i know about loop devices, but could i mount the image as the main hard drive and use it. | 03:06 |
kindofabuzz | try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 03:06 |
w30 | fab4fan: "/dev/hda3 /diri ext3 defaults 1 1"; thats opne of mine | 03:06 |

kjp2 | any thoughts ? | 03:07 |
Schmiez | ythe1300: i tried doing that :/ | 03:07 |
ythe1300 | :( | 03:07 |
ythe1300 | nothing? | 03:07 |
fab4fan | w30: in your fstab file ? | 03:07 |
Schmiez | it walks me through the whole procedure | 03:07 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 03:07 |
nebnav | daved: yeah i know it sounds crazy but some sort of netboot or configure grub or something. pxe maybe. | 03:07 |
Schmiez | alright give me one moment | 03:07 |
daved | kjp: pastie the contents of /etc/init.d/zfs-fuse | 03:08 |
redbrain | hey join #linuxoutlaws :) | 03:08 |
w30 | fab4fan: yep! "/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_c vfat user,exec,rw,noauto,iocharset=utf8,umask=0 0 0"; another example | 03:08 |
redbrain | or listen to the podcast bring linux user community closer together | 03:08 |
redbrain | :) | 03:08 |
daved | nebnav: it's technically possible, and you want to look towards advanced grub configs.. pxe and netboot arent going to help you | 03:08 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: i just get a black screen like always | 03:08 |
kindofabuzz | yeah your xorg.conf is screwed | 03:09 |
Schmiez | what can i do to fix it? | 03:09 |
w30 | fab4fan: the mount point has to exist. like /diri and /mnt/win_c | 03:09 |
kindofabuzz | did you do what ythe1300 suggested? | 03:09 |
Schmiez | yeah | 03:09 |
kindofabuzz | hmm | 03:09 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: the command I gave you earlier should have worked :( | 03:10 |
Schmiez | i finish it and i dont know what to do afterwards | 03:10 |
kindofabuzz | reboot? | 03:10 |
fab4fan | w30: so I create the mountpoint first ? | 03:10 |
Schmiez | yeah i try that and i still have the same problem | 03:10 |
w30 | fab4fan: the command mkdir works for that if you don't know. | 03:10 |
w30 | fab4fan: yep. | 03:10 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: can you boot with the live CD? | 03:10 |
fab4fan | w30: thanks, I know the command mkdir | 03:10 |
Schmiez | no | 03:10 |
ythe1300 | (make sure you have the onboard off) | 03:10 |
kindofabuzz | hit trl-alt f7 | 03:10 |
kindofabuzz | ctrl | 03:11 |
nebnav | daved: replace the ramdisk or something? probably not. | 03:11 |
Schmiez | me? | 03:11 |
fab4fan | w30: about 7 years ago I used Unix on the job, but it's been a w hile | 03:11 |
kindofabuzz | just to make sure you're not in a vt | 03:11 |
Schmiez | nothin happens when i do that | 03:11 |
kindofabuzz | yeah Schmiez | 03:11 |
daved | nebnav: the "easiest" (and take that with a grain of salt) way would be to resize partitions to make room for a paritition the same size or bigger than your .img, dd the .img on to it and boot from that | 03:11 |
w30 | fab4fan: in fstab be sure and use the complete path with / and everything for clarity. | 03:11 |
fab4fan | w30: what are the parameters "1 1" in the fstab mean ? | 03:11 |
Schmiez | i couldn't get the live cd to work either, so i used the alternate | 03:11 |
daved | kjp2: paste the contents of /etc/init.d/zfs-fuse onto paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 03:12 |
kjp2 | daved: coming. | 03:12 |
tehquickness | Has anyone notice that gnome 2.22 is slow? | 03:12 |
w30 | fab4fan: look at man fstab for that stuff | 03:12 |

yowshi | Stroganoff: i just tried to run starcontrol 2 | 03:16 |
RabidWeezle | darkcrab, it's something to do with glx and compositing, it's ALWAYS alot faster to disable compositing before you run a gl/glx game | 03:16 |

cyclonut | lines 13-19 are the issue. if its parmater set to stacked, it does not work properly | 03:17 |
Stroganoff | yowshi: use dosbox | 03:17 |
w30 | darkcrab: do you have a nvidia propriatory driver? | 03:17 |
yowshi | starcraft is a windows game starcontrol 2 is a dos | 03:17 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: no man that's kind of messed up | 03:17 |

cyclonut | wouldnt ya know it, as soon as I ask it works | 03:18 |
kjp2 | daved: same error. | 03:18 |
cabrioleur | Stroganoff, I'm a long term dosbox user, as well as dosemu. I need my Betrayal at Krondor from time to time and dosbox is a lifesaver. | 03:18 |

Stroganoff | didn't mean or wanted to know that, cabri. | 03:18 |
Schmiez | now what? | 03:18 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: now do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 03:18 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: yeah but i want virtualbox to run xo so i have a sure fire way to run any windows game i want | 03:19 |
yowshi | wine is buggy and breaks from release to release | 03:19 |

yowshi | cabrioleur: why should i pay twice to run an os?\ | 03:20 |
RabidWeezle | dosbox is great, but you know, I noticed though that the windows version runs descent better, maybe I need to use their svn :/ | 03:20 |
kindofabuzz | the newest wine is pretty good compared to other versions | 03:20 |
cabrioleur | yowshi, you pay 1 for os, and 1 for virtualization that works. | 03:20 |
tbwnoob | #winehq | 03:20 |
RabidWeezle | wine is getting better by the day it seems, I can't wait for their 1.0 release | 03:20 |
mackid | yowshi, if you want a sure-fire way to run any windows game you want, then buy cedega | 03:20 |
w30 | darkcrab: the binary driver from Nvidia is causing problems like that and also loosing f7 when switched from one of the other f(n) consoles. I used flglx or whatever it was in beryl to get away from that. | 03:20 |
yowshi | RabidWeezle: i found that the windows version ran sloooooow. but i was using a p2 450 at the time | 03:20 |
yowshi | mackid: wine > cedega | 03:20 |

calc | zachwlewis: so you can't make that code work as is, because its not written properly and won't work on 64bit | 03:25 |
wenceslao | run file | 03:25 |
w30 | wenceslao: there are books out there now for you distribution if it's a major one. | 03:25 |
kjp2 | daved: any other ideas ? | 03:25 |
donkey7186 | How do i get someone to remote desktop my computer?????????? | 03:25 |
wenceslao | is ubuntu | 03:25 |
calc | ythe1300: ? | 03:25 |
fk7_se | vncviewer | 03:25 |
cabrioleur | wenceslao, "chmod +x *.run", "./nameofthefile.run" | 03:26 |
zachwlewis | calc: Any way to force it to run in 32-bit mode, or run a 32-bit emulator on my machine? | 03:26 |
ythe1300 | calc: there where no 64bit P4's | 03:26 |
calc | zachwlewis: not easily | 03:26 |
fk7_se | donkey: vncviewer | 03:26 |
donkey7186 | fk7_se how do i get that | 03:26 |
wenceslao | thx cabrioleur i will try it | 03:26 |
w30 | wenceslao: Also play around on Ubuntu.com and their forums and wiki's and howtos | 03:26 |
Schmiez | ythe1300, kindofabuzz: i did it, rebooted, boot normally, and now i've got a text based login | 03:26 |
RabidWeezle | wenceslao, right click the file, set the attributes that it can be executed, then in a terminal run it like: sudo ./nameoffile.run | 03:26 |
calc | ythe1300: oh i think i am getting confused there were 'Pentium D' that were 64bit | 03:26 |
fk7_se | type it into terminal, are you using ubuntu? | 03:26 |
donkey7186 | yes | 03:26 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: | 03:26 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: so making progress? | 03:26 |
Schmiez | i hope this is | 03:26 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: try start X now? | 03:26 |
Schmiez | lol | 03:26 |
wenceslao | ok rabidweezle let me do that | 03:26 |
fk7_se | if you type vncviewer in terminal it will ask to the ip to connect to | 03:26 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: is that the server ubuntu? | 03:27 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: good chance it won't work but.. | 03:27 |
RabidWeezle | wenceslao, I would uninstall firefox from synaptic first | 03:27 |
calc | ythe1300: actually the Pentium 4 620 was 64bit iirc | 03:27 |
calc | http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL8AB | 03:27 |
RabidWeezle | since you are breaking away from apt-get when you install like that | 03:27 |
justinmiller87 | I did sudo adduser $USER groupx and I don't want to log out because I'm in the middle of something. Is there any way to refresh my group memberships without logging out? | 03:27 |
calc | ^ evidence of 64bit P4's | 03:27 |
calc | the Pentium D's were 64bit and so were the Pentium 4 6xx series | 03:27 |
fk7_se | donkey: did it work? | 03:28 |
Dr_willis | justinmiller87, you could 'ssh in' or start a xterm with a login shell..perhaps.. but that would do it just for that one shell | 03:28 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: status? | 03:28 |
otg | wehjkbfjih | 03:28 |
cabrioleur | Does anybody remember an easy book about linux? It was about magic, and using Linux was described as using magic, commands were spells etc? My little brother became a guru (on mac x) thanks to this book. | 03:28 |
Dr_willis | justinmiller87, its a bit of a pain :) | 03:28 |
donkey7186 | fk7_se i got the box to pop up | 03:28 |
justinmiller87 | Hmm, ssh into my localhost. Interesting. | 03:28 |
zachwlewis | calc: I've got an install of Ubuntu on a vmWare machine on Windows. Do you think it would work there? | 03:28 |
calc | zachwlewis: you could setup vmware or something like that to run a 32bit version of Ubuntu | 03:28 |
Schmiez | it says fatal server error: no screens found XIO: fatal IO error 104 (connection reset by peer)...... | 03:28 |
Schmiez | ect | 03:28 |
zachwlewis | calc: hivemind. | 03:28 |
donkey7186 | fk7_se how do you get it to connect. when it asks for server do you type the ip? cause my ip isnt working if so | 03:29 |
RabidWeezle | cabrioleur, best book I ever got was the dummies books | 03:29 |
calc | zachwlewis: yes that might work, the code is buggy though in general so it might have other issues | 03:29 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, sure it will. | 03:29 |
zachwlewis | calc: What code is buggy in general? | 03:29 |
calc | zachwlewis: casting int to pointer is a bad thing to do and shows that the person who wrote the code didn't know what they were doing | 03:29 |
M4rotku | hello, i've been having a bit of a problem with my sound, in that it stopped working completely. =( | 03:29 |
fk7_se | well you also have to turn desktop sharing on, on the computer you are connecting to | 03:29 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: keep messing with the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, change stuff around, try VESA | 03:29 |
RabidWeezle | cabrioleur, the "secrets" books are really good too | 03:29 |
Schmiez | try VESA? | 03:29 |
zachwlewis | Okay, time for a new query. | 03:29 |
* calc got to run, wife is nagging him to go to bed | 03:29 |
cabrioleur | RabidWeezle, it was for kids, or with some kind of charm. I used manpages, but I wish I remember the name. | 03:30 |
mackid | calc, zachwlewis: what about using 32-bit libraries? I run a 32-bit version of firefox, for example, on my amd64 install of ubuntu (so flash works) | 03:30 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: what is VESA | 03:30 |
fk7_se | it is under System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop | 03:30 |
zachwlewis | I have an nVidia 8800GT, and since I've installed it, I can't get any advanced graphics effects working. How can I install new drivers for it? | 03:30 |
UncleChevitz | I want to access a directory that I don't have permission for (/var/lib/php4 wants root) I pointed my CLI there, but "ls" gives a permission denied, should I just change the directories permissions? or can I sudo and just don't know how? | 03:30 |
kindofabuzz | you should have the VESA option when re configuring | 03:30 |
Schmiez | where | 03:30 |
ythe1300 | calc: I stand corrected 620 does appear to be 64bit enabled | 03:31 |
yowshi | RabidWeezle: how do you adjust frame skipping in virtualbox?\ | 03:31 |
kindofabuzz | wait, wehn you rebooted you didn't do recovery again did ya? | 03:31 |
RabidWeezle | cabrioleur, I started with Redhat 6 for dummies, linux in a nutshell (more complicated by oreilly), and linux secrets 13 years ago | 03:31 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, you can install the newest ones from the official website. Just download them, uninstall what you have, and run the script. | 03:31 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: no | 03:31 |
RabidWeezle | yowshi, it's all in the man page "man dosbox" | 03:31 |
yowshi | not dosbox | 03:31 |
yowshi | i am not running starcraft in dosbox | 03:32 |
RabidWeezle | oooh | 03:32 |
zachwlewis | cabrioleur: What official site? nVidia? How do I uninstall my current drivers? | 03:32 |
mackid | cabrioleur: is that the best way? I just checked "use restricted drivers" in some preference or system config program | 03:32 |
RabidWeezle | I run starcraft in wine | 03:32 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: no | 03:32 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, find them in the synaptic tool. Yes, they have a nice, user friendly installer on nvidia.com. | 03:32 |
kindofabuzz | what vid card you got Schmiez ? | 03:32 |
zachwlewis | I installed some package from nVidia and have "use restricted drivers" checked, but it still doesn't work. | 03:32 |
yowshi | RabidWeezle: lets see i have issues with how wine handles starcraft like the bnet problems | 03:32 |
yowshi | screens not refreshing and stuff | 03:32 |
ythe1300 | kindofabuzz 9250 | 03:33 |
RabidWeezle | oh ouch | 03:33 |
RabidWeezle | hrm | 03:33 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: ATI Radeon 9250 | 03:33 |
mutantman | i have a problem guys | 03:33 |
mutantman | can you help me? | 03:33 |
RabidWeezle | I donno if virtual does frame skipping, I've never touched it | 03:33 |
mackid | zachwlewis: go to system > preferences > display/graphics and see what driver you're using | 03:33 |
kindofabuzz | try this, get back to your prompt | 03:33 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, before you do that, I'm gonna ask you something. | 03:33 |
yowshi | so i installed windows xp in virtualbox with the hope of being able to run games fluidly | 03:33 |
Schmiez | ok | 03:33 |
Schmiez | recovery mode? | 03:33 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, do you have a 3d acceleration? | 03:33 |

ubotu | mutantman: 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 | 03:33 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, go to their website. | 03:33 |

talcite | does anyone know where firefox stores security certificates that get verified? I want to use one with wget, but I can't find the certificates | 03:33 |
aoupi | mutantman: calm down | 03:34 |
Schmiez | ok | 03:34 |
zachwlewis | cabrioleur: No, it will only let me keep the "none" setting in the appearance manager. | 03:34 |
RabidWeezle | first stop spamming, then I'll tell you | 03:34 |
RabidWeezle | lol | 03:34 |
mutantman | im sorry | 03:34 |
aoupi | mutantman: no one will help you when you spam, better luck next time | 03:34 |
w30 | zachwlewis: us synaptic and type in nvidia in the search box and look for the nvidia drivers. After that you need to enable the propriatory drivers in the preferences>non-free drivers or whatever it is. | 03:34 |
mutantman | i never used this bfore | 03:34 |
cory__ | This is lame!!! | 03:34 |
Schmiez | well i'm already in recovery mode | 03:34 |
Schmiez | so i'll do it here i gues | 03:34 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: have you tried the urban terror forums?? | 03:34 |
Schmiez | guess | 03:34 |
mutantman | yes | 03:34 |
mutantman | i looked everywhere | 03:34 |
mutantman | i cant find anything!!! | 03:34 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, open a terminal, and type glxgears, and tell me if you can see the wheels. | 03:34 |
rfiatt | guys, i need help from someone that runs World of Warcraft on Wine | 03:34 |
RabidWeezle | I'll pm you | 03:34 |
cory__ | is urban terrorist any good? | 03:34 |
zachwlewis | cabrioleur: What drivers should I look for to uninstall? | 03:34 |
kindofabuzz | if i find how to do it, you owe me $20 | 03:34 |
calc | mackid: that might work but he would have to make it compile as 32bit code as well instead of native (64bit) | 03:35 |
Schmiez | me or mutantman? lol | 03:35 |
* calc really has to go now, bbl | 03:35 |
zachwlewis | zachwlewis@cottontail:~$ glxgears | 03:35 |
zachwlewis | Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". | 03:35 |

kindofabuzz | mutant | 03:35 |

Schmiez | ok | 03:35 |
mackid | calc yeah exactly. ok bye | 03:35 |
mojo | Hi - Does anyone know the status of pulseaudio and jack? i asked in the ubuntustudio chat but everyone seems to be afk atm. I am trying to figure out from the forums, but a link to a project status page or something would be appreciated, or an answer if someone happens to be up on that | 03:35 |
mutantman | PLZ HELP | 03:35 |
mutantman | i need to know how to make an urban terror dedicated server!!! ^1please help meh | 03:35 |
cabrioleur | zachwlewis, the problem is that the drivers are rarely a problem. 95% it's your xorg.conf file or compiz itself. | 03:35 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm | 03:35 |
UncleChevitz | I want to access a directory that I don't have permission for (/var/lib/php4 wants root) I pointed my CLI there, but "ls" gives a permission denied, should I just change the directories permissions? or can I sudo and just don't know how? | 03:35 |
mutantman | k brb | 03:35 |
bazhang | !helpme | mutantman | 03:35 |
ubotu | mutantman: Avoid your questions being followed by a trail of "Please, help me", "Can nobody help me?", "I really need this!", and so on. This just contributes to making the channel unreadable. If you are not answered, ask again later; but see also !repeat and !patience | 03:35 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: you didn't look very hard | 03:35 |
Flannel | mutantman: please stop repeating your question. Wait at least 15 minutes between repeats. | 03:35 |
mackid | zachwlewis: system menu > administration > screens & graphics > graphics card tab, what is listed under driver | 03:35 |
Schmiez | lol | 03:36 |
Schmiez | alright | 03:36 |
Schmiez | so i'm in the recovery mode now | 03:36 |
cabrioleur | UncleChevitz, "sudo ls /var/lib/php4" | 03:36 |
mutantman | i was at this site!!! | 03:36 |
mutantman | it doesnt say anything... | 03:36 |
CRINGO | oh, nikrud, you were helping me earlier before I passed out :p, my /home wasn't mounting by itself, so you told me to do fsck in safe mode, i did with -n just to see what would happen and it said there were errors, but it said I was mounted to /, so i did umount / and then ran fsck and it said there weren't any errors | 03:36 |
Flannel | !enter | mutantman | 03:36 |
ubotu | mutantman: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 03:36 |
zachwlewis | vesa | 03:36 |
UncleChevitz | k thnx duh I guess | 03:36 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: do a sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:37 |
mackid | zachwlewis: click the menu and try to change it to nvidia, is nvidia listed? | 03:37 |
nikrud | CRINGO so, did you do the check on home and it work aftewards? | 03:37 |
CRINGO | nikrud, my fstab had 1s and 2s on multiple fs's for fsck, so i took them all to 0 for all except / and /home and it boots fine | 03:37 |
RabidWeezle | mutantman, check your pm | 03:37 |
mutantman | lol how? | 03:37 |
Volkodav | when pidgin 2.4.0 will be in repos? | 03:37 |
RabidWeezle | what irc client? | 03:37 |
zachwlewis | mackid: Should I use the "Choose driver by model" radio button? | 03:37 |
mackid | zachwlewis: under "choose driver by name" | 03:37 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htmhttp://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htmhttp://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm | 03:37 |
zachwlewis | mackid: Or, in the choose driver by name> | 03:37 |
nikrud | cool, now I remember, the fsck stuff in fstab | 03:37 |
mutantman | IT DOESNT HELP | 03:37 |
Flannel | mutantman: Looks like it says *everything* you need on that page. What are you having trouble with? | 03:37 |
zachwlewis | One is just called "nvidia". Is this it? | 03:38 |
mutantman | i cant make a dedicated server | 03:38 |
rfiatt | does anyone runs WoW on Wine, pm me plis i have some questions | 03:38 |
mackid | zachwlewis: yes that's the one | 03:38 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: get it open? | 03:38 |
ythe1300 | Good Night all | 03:38 |
CRINGO | nikrud, i think i thought that if i did fsck / it would include /home, i was real tired XD | 03:38 |
mutantman | it wont pull one up | 03:38 |
Schmiez | kindofabuzz: ok i did it | 03:38 |
zachwlewis | I hit Okay. | 03:38 |
zachwlewis | Nothing really changed. | 03:38 |
mackid | zachwlewis: ok, is it still selected under "driver" now? | 03:38 |
ythe1300 | Schmiez: if you can't figure it out post in the forums :) | 03:38 |
nikrud | CRINGO lol, being tired is not good for the old attention thingy | 03:38 |
Flannel | !doesntwork | mutantman | 03:38 |
ubotu | mutantman: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 03:38 |
kindofabuzz | look for defoptions=vga | 03:38 |
mutantman | it wont pull up a ded server | 03:38 |
Nasra | sudo upt-get install .....to install about for uninstall? | 03:38 |
kindofabuzz | or something like that | 03:38 |
mutantman | !doesntwork | 03:39 |
mackid | zachwlewis: let me rephrase, does "driver" in the screens & graphics admin pane say "nvidia" now? | 03:39 |
sjovan | any one that knows the command for seeing what port a prog uses? | 03:39 |
daved | kjp2: still around? | 03:39 |
mackid | sjovan: google it | 03:39 |
CRINGO | nikrud, but in fstab, the last numbers, they're for the order fsck does right? So there shouldn't be two different filesystems with 1 or 2 correct? | 03:39 |
kjp2 | daved: yes. | 03:39 |
Flannel | mutantman: Have you tried their IRC channel? They're actually be able to help you. | 03:39 |
zachwlewis | mackid: After I clicked okay and closed the thing out, I reopened it and it went back to vesa. | 03:39 |
Nasra | what is the command for installing a program? | 03:39 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, did you try to set up your server.cfg correctly? | 03:39 |
daved | kjp2: try changing /bin/sh to /bin/bash at the top | 03:39 |
mutantman | yes | 03:39 |
mutantman | i have a good server.cfg | 03:39 |
RabidWeezle | sjovan, sounds like a usefull app for sure if you find one | 03:40 |
mutantman | it wont start the server is the prob | 03:40 |
zachwlewis | mackid: Before I close it, it says it right now. | 03:40 |
sjovan | mackid: yes, that was the plan if no one gave me the awnser | 03:40 |
nikrud | CRINGO it doesn't matter, I have two with 1 and two with 2 | 03:40 |
CRINGO | nikrud, i think that's what was throwing it off | 03:40 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, what's the error. | 03:40 |
Schmiez | wait | 03:40 |
Schmiez | how do i look for it | 03:40 |
CRINGO | ah | 03:40 |

zachwlewis | mackid: I just clicked "test" and it closed the window down. :( | 03:40 |
mackid | zachwlewis: try system menu > administration > restricted drivers manager | 03:40 |
kindofabuzz | move the cursor up and down? | 03:40 |
mutantman | When i go to start server, and dedicate to internet, it wont bring up the ded server windows | 03:40 |
CRINGO | nikrud, is there a 3,4,5, or does that number only go to 2? | 03:40 |
kindofabuzz | arrow keys? | 03:40 |
mutantman | When i go to start server, and dedicate to internet, it wont bring up the ded server window* | 03:40 |
kjp2 | daved: woah. that worked. why the hell did that work ? | 03:40 |
CRINGO | that's what i was wondering | 03:40 |
kindofabuzz | wait just close that | 03:40 |
mackid | zachwlewis: is there anything listed in the restricted drivers manager? | 03:40 |
Schmiez | i got a screen with a grey bar up top, absolutely nothing in the middle, then a list of commands at the bottom | 03:40 |
kindofabuzz | ctrlx | 03:41 |
daved | kjp2: you on hardy beta? | 03:41 |
RabidWeezle | what's the port or program in question? | 03:41 |
kindofabuzz | just close it | 03:41 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, server windows? there is no server windows... | 03:41 |
zachwlewis | mackid: The only one is Atheros HAL. It is enabled and in use. | 03:41 |
RabidWeezle | sjovan, | 03:41 |
nikrud | CRINGO 2 as far as I've ever seen. I will say that I'm fuzzy on those, just know enough to know that they don't affect mounting ;) | 03:41 |
kjp2 | daved: no 7.10 | 03:41 |
Schmiez | oh | 03:41 |
Schmiez | closed | 03:41 |
mutantman | i mean like | 03:41 |
mutantman | the console | 03:41 |
daved | kjp2: looks like at some point ubuntu started symlinking /bin/sh to /bin/dash instead of /bin/bash | 03:41 |
mutantman | the server running u know? | 03:41 |
daved | so bash-only crap doesnt work | 03:41 |
daved | took me forever to figure out what that == wouldnt work | 03:41 |
mackid | zachwlewis: weird, nvidia should be listed.. i don't really know at this point, try googling for ubuntu nvidia driver | 03:42 |
kindofabuzz | actually i'm just gonna give you the link i'm reading, i gotta piss, look at the responses towrds the bottom | 03:42 |
mackid | zachwlewis: or maybe someone else can help you | 03:42 |
Schmiez | ok | 03:42 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, what you have when you execute ioUrTded.i386? | 03:42 |
sjovan | RabidWeezle: found it :D netstat -anp|grep <id or name> | 03:42 |
kjp2 | daved: ah. great. | 03:42 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/63558 | 03:42 |
CRINGO | nikrud, okay, well... I'm not sure what's going on then, maybe I'll run fsck on /home and I'll do that other hdd too, not sure why it won't mount it with fstab | 03:42 |
mutantman | it wont execute | 03:42 |
zachwlewis | mackid: Okay. Thanks for all your help. :) | 03:42 |
RabidWeezle | nice | 03:42 |
sjovan | that was one lucky google :D | 03:42 |
mackid | zachwlewis: no problem :) | 03:42 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, "sudo chmod +x ioUrTded.i386" | 03:42 |
* RabidWeezle copies that to a notepad for later use | 03:42 |
mutantman | kk one sec | 03:42 |
nikrud | CRINGO it's happening to someone else tonight, can't figure it eather | 03:42 |
Flannel | mutantman: Go to the Urban Terror IRC channel, and ask there. We have no idea how that server works, they'll have a much better chance of helping you. | 03:42 |
mackid | sjovan: excellent | 03:43 |
CRINGO | nikrud, what's their name? | 03:43 |
yowshi | anyone know how to get games to run at decent speeds in a virtualbox os? | 03:43 |
nikrud | CRINGO steven1 | 03:43 |
cabrioleur | yowshi, pac man | 03:43 |
RabidWeezle | mutantman, Flannel is right, with specific software problems, it's always best to ask the people who make the software | 03:43 |
CRINGO | okay | 03:43 |
mutantman | ok | 03:43 |
daved | kjp2: that script also has numerous bugs in it btw :P | 03:43 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: pac man? | 03:43 |
daved | kjp2: but i fixed them all and it still wouldnt run, was driving me mad | 03:44 |
RabidWeezle | mutantman, I wouldn't goto a windows help channel to ask about problems with EZ Cd creator | 03:44 |
kjp2 | daved: I didn't write it. | 03:44 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, it's everywhere on the internet now. Abandonware they say. | 03:44 |
mutantman | ? | 03:44 |
=== [1]rafaelito is now known as rafaelito |
cabrioleur | mutantman, did you try to run it now? | 03:44 |
mutantman | it said | 03:44 |
mutantman | chmod: cannot access `iourtded.i386': No such file or directory | 03:44 |
daved | kjp: *nod* just saying :) | 03:44 |
CRINGO | nikrud, maybe with my other hdd, the slave master jumpers aren't set right? I could pull it out and double check but blah if I don't need to. | 03:45 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, use capital letters. | 03:45 |
nikrud | CRINGO not sure | 03:45 |
prince_jammys | mutantman: case sensitive | 03:45 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, ioUrTded.i386 | 03:45 |
unkhot | Hello, on a chroot, what is the way to use locales too, wich files do I need? /usr/share/locales only does not work, any idea? thanks | 03:45 |

zachwlewis | Where is the default runlevel stored in Ubuntu 7.10? | 03:45 |
mutantman | o ty =) | 03:46 |
Nasra | I mean the command | 03:46 |
prince_jammys | Nasra: sudo apt-get remove progname (if you installed with apt) | 03:46 |
=== ubuntu is now known as lemcott |
CRINGO | okay nikrud, Steven1, I'll be back once I figure out what's going on and let you know | 03:46 |
Dr_willis | zachwlewis, ubuntu dosent really use runlevels like other disrtos do. | 03:46 |
Flannel | zachwlewis: /etc/event.d/ [something] | 03:46 |
lemcott | I need help uninstalling ubuntu | 03:46 |
Dr_willis | !upstart | zachwlewis | 03:46 |
sjovan | but this i don't get ---> http://pastebin.com/d68cd9040 <--- the tut talked about port 14534, but what with all the other ports? don't i need to open them on the router? it's for the same prog... | 03:46 |
ubotu | zachwlewis: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 03:46 |
mutantman | hmm | 03:46 |
mutantman | still wont work | 03:46 |
mutantman | o wait | 03:47 |
zachwlewis | This driver wants me to close X and set the runlevel to VGA. | 03:47 |
Nasra | prince_jammys.....wannna uninstall the exaile music player.... | 03:47 |
Flannel | mutantman: Ask the Urban Terror people. We have no idea what its looking for, and as such, why it's failing | 03:47 |
Dr_willis | zachwlewis, so basicially it saying 'close X' :) | 03:47 |
prince_jammys | Nasra: sudo apt-get remove exaile (most likely) | 03:47 |
zachwlewis | Okay. How do I do that? :P | 03:47 |
lemcott | I used gpartitioner to make my second HDD a FAT32, i was hoping that i could just go into vista and format it | 03:47 |
Nasra | thanks... | 03:47 |
cabrioleur | Flannel, I do have an idea. I've done this before multiple times. | 03:47 |
lemcott | but now GRUB is giving me error 17 | 03:47 |
Dr_willis | zachwlewis, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop - WE do not advise using the nvidia or ati video driver installers... good luck. | 03:47 |
lemcott | and I cant even get in to fix it! | 03:48 |
zachwlewis | So, what nVidia driver should I use to run my 8800GT? | 03:48 |
sean_ | Is there a special channel to deal with hardy bugs or is it just here? | 03:48 |
cabrioleur | lemcott, go to your windows boot cd, and go to command prompt. (fix something option) | 03:48 |
Flannel | sean_: #ubuntu+1 | 03:48 |
Dr_willis | zachwlewis, i use the ones that restricted-manager installed here. | 03:48 |
bazhang | lemcott: what is on the other partition and are you going to reinstall ubuntu? | 03:48 |
mutantman | ok i did that command | 03:48 |
sean_ | Flannel, I just read that. X_X | 03:48 |
sean_ | thank you | 03:48 |
mutantman | it didnt say anything , but no errors | 03:48 |
Dr_willis | zachwlewis, had no problems with them. But others have i hear. | 03:48 |
cabrioleur | lemcott, then type fixmbr or mbrfix. It will correct the problem for you. | 03:48 |
zachwlewis | Yeah. Is there a way to just uninstall all my graphics drivers and let ubuntu find new ones? | 03:48 |
lemcott | cabrioleur, i dont have a windows vista boot cd | 03:48 |
nilminus | i have a question related to gdb. i am trying to create a breakpoint to a C++ file inside my project but it says : "No source file named pspp.cc" . Any idea about what the problem could be ? | 03:49 |
prince_jammys | mutantman: means it was successful | 03:49 |
thisdyu | hey guys im a bit confused, i need to use airdriver is used to install the monitor drivers for my wifi card right? will this effect any of my current drivers | 03:49 |
lemcott | bazhang, my first hdd is vista, second is ubuntu, and im trying to make it back into vista | 03:49 |
mutantman | ok what do i do now? | 03:49 |
bazhang | lemcott: do you plan on reinstalling ubuntu? | 03:49 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: nano your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and look for your vid driver setion, change it to vesa, try that | 03:49 |
mutantman | what do i do now? | 03:49 |
lemcott | no, i need the space as of now, so i need it to be vista recognized/usable | 03:49 |
cabrioleur | lemcott, that's a problem. | 03:50 |
lemcott | D: | 03:50 |
bazhang | lemcott: sounds like a windows only question then | 03:50 |
lemcott | windows doesnt recognize it | 03:50 |
mutantman | i might have got an error, nothing happening | 03:50 |
Nasra | I like this chat room....you guys are ready to help.....I love it.... | 03:50 |
cabrioleur | bazhang, don't leave the customer when he is dissatisfied. He might come back whey you're nice. | 03:50 |

bazhang | cabrioleur: read the /topic | 03:50 |
prince_jammys | customer? | 03:51 |
mutantman | im going to ut | 03:51 |
cabrioleur | bazhang, and his problem is how to remove _grub_!! | 03:51 |
Flannel | lemcott: If you have no Vista CD to properly add it back, you could try SBM (smart boot manager), or failing that, you just need to keep GRUB around, on a tiny GRUB partition | 03:51 |
Nasra | linuxbasics.org | 03:51 |
Nasra | is great | 03:51 |
mutantman | idk how to goto urban terror... | 03:51 |
lemcott | the only reason im on is im using the livecd to boot from, grub wont even let me touch anything | 03:52 |

bazhang | !repeat | mutantman | 03:53 |
ubotu | mutantman: 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 | 03:53 |
cabrioleur | mutantman, what's the error now? | 03:53 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: pac man? what do you mean by that | 03:53 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: did you even read the link i gave you? tels you everything | 03:53 |
mutantman | i never got it to work | 03:53 |
Flannel | mutantman: It's on a different server, this may work (depending on your IRC client): /connect irc.enterthegame.com then /join #urbanterror | 03:53 |
Mnabi1 | hello , i wanna install enlightment on ubuntu , how can i do that > | 03:53 |
mutantman | THE LINK DOESNT WORK OK? | 03:53 |
Mnabi1 | ? | 03:53 |
cabrioleur | yowshi, it's an old game. You can find it everywhere in abandonware collections. | 03:53 |
CRINGO | nikrud, forgot i wanted to throw this at you, http://pastebin.com/ddef976d <- look at sdb1, it's been mounting it as disk-2, I manually mounted it to /media/nota | 03:53 |
CRINGO | nikrud, did I need to umount it first? | 03:53 |
intravenous | hey guys, how do i change servers with xchat? | 03:53 |
intravenous | im looking to get onto slashnet | 03:53 |
Starnestommy | intravenous: /server new.server | 03:53 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: it does work, http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm | 03:54 |
CRINGO | intravenous, /server server.name.net | 03:54 |
CRINGO | oops | 03:54 |
intravenous | thanks man | 03:54 |
nikrud | CRINGO ues | 03:54 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: heh what about starcraft? i would like to run that at decent speeds reliabvly online and without the problems wine has with bnet. an no i am not paying cedega for ripping off wine | 03:54 |
CRINGO | nikrud, so you can have a device mounted to multiple places? does that screw anything up? | 03:54 |
cabrioleur | yowshi, starcraft (broodwars too) run smoothly with unmodified wine. | 03:55 |
mutantman | no ones there... | 03:55 |
Estesark | Hi, a question: I have two hard disks, one which is mounted to / and another which is mounted to /home. I get the feeling that, because /home is a directory of /, that my files are being duplicated. I say this because / is very nearly full, even though I don't really have anything in there at all, except for in /home. How do I check that I've mounted everything right and sort it out if it is wrong? | 03:55 |
zachwlewis | Okay, I managed to remove a lot of stuff. How do I add back the restricted drivers manager and let it find an appropriate driver for my 8800GT? | 03:55 |
mssever | Mnabi1: There's an Enlightenment package in Ubuntu | 03:55 |
Nasra | now just installed azureus...how do I use it....what is the procedure? | 03:55 |
nikrud | CRINGO it's not common, no. I don't think I've ever seen it myself, except with --bind. I'm not really up on esoteric mount options | 03:55 |
carlos | someone know what command do i have to use to connect on the wireless network? | 03:55 |
mssever | Mnabi1: If you want a more recent version, Google is your friend | 03:55 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: no it doesnt. take a look at the bnet interface. i get windows that dont refrsh properly and stuff | 03:55 |
CRINGO | okay nikrud, thanks | 03:55 |
andi5 | Estesark: check out baobab :-) | 03:56 |
zachwlewis | Nasra: Find a torrent file, and have the program open it. | 03:56 |
mutantman | still cant get my server to work!!!! | 03:56 |
nikrud | CRINGO I'm tired, my attention thingo is not functioning well :) | 03:56 |
Estesark | What's that, andi5 ? | 03:56 |
yowshi | +in the game itself anf does but outside of a game it doesnt | 03:56 |
zachwlewis | Nasra: It will then proceed to connect with other computers and download your files. | 03:56 |
CRINGO | heh, np | 03:56 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: learn to google and read the damn link i gave you, it tells you everything about the server | 03:56 |
Estesark | Oh, the disk usage analyser... so what am I looking for exactly? | 03:56 |
mutantman | IT DOESNT HELP OMG | 03:56 |
mssever | Estesark: Typing mount will show you if everything's mounted properly -- also try df | 03:56 |
mutantman | THE DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE DEAD | 03:57 |
mutantman | IT HELPs 0 | 03:57 |
mssever | !caps | 03:57 |
ubotu | PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 03:57 |
kindofabuzz | mutantman: how does it not help? it tells you step by step what to do | 03:57 |
zachwlewis | Okay, I managed to remove a lot of stuff. How do I add back the restricted drivers manager and let it find an appropriate driver for my 8800GT? | 03:57 |
Nasra | zachlewis: question...where do I put the file to download or where will it go and find it? | 03:57 |
zachwlewis | You should be able to use "Open with...". | 03:57 |
zachwlewis | Then, choose your program. | 03:57 |
zachwlewis | If not, it doesn't matter where you save it. | 03:57 |
kindofabuzz | zachwlewis: Envy | 03:58 |
andi5 | Estesark: your data is not duplicated, that is for sure.. mount will tell you whether you have mounted /home correctly though | 03:58 |
zachwlewis | You can either double-click and choose a program, or open it. | 03:58 |
zachwlewis | kindofabuzz: Pardon? | 03:58 |
bazhang | mutantman you should direct your questions to the person who was helping you | 03:58 |
daved | is there a gnome cd/dvd burning program similar in functionality to k3b? | 03:58 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: no it doesnt. take a look at the bnet interface. i get windows that dont refrsh properly and stuff. in the game itself it does but outside of a game it doesnt. unless you have a solution | 03:58 |
fab4fan | w30: that worked ! | 03:58 |
fab4fan | /msg w30 that worked ! | 03:58 |
lemcott | cabrioleur, thank you thank you thank you! | 03:58 |
kindofabuzz | zachwlewis: you asked about video drivers, use Envy, intalls everything for you, ati and nvidia | 03:58 |
lemcott | ill be back on after going into windows! | 03:58 |
zachwlewis | kindofabuzz: Where do I find that? | 03:59 |
cabrioleur | lemcott, you are welcome. | 03:59 |

redheat | hi everyone | 03:59 |
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 » | 03:59 |
kindofabuzz | just google envy, first link that pops up | 03:59 |
bazhang | kindofabuzz: that script is not much liked in these parts | 03:59 |
Estesark | andi5: This is what I get from mount: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d9439821 | 03:59 |
redheat | I need some help around here if possible | 03:59 |
kindofabuzz | why not bazhang ? | 03:59 |
Estesark | I'm not really sure what I should be looking for | 03:59 |
fab4fan | redheat: whats up ? | 03:59 |
bazhang | !envy | kindofabuzz zachwlewis | 03:59 |
andi5 | Estesark: what about df? | 03:59 |
ubotu | kindofabuzz zachwlewis: 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 » | 03:59 |
redheat | I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.10 on my machine next to my other operating system..hi fab4fun | 03:59 |
kindofabuzz | well yeah, but still, works fine on my end | 04:00 |
fab4fan | redheat: you have an existing OS on the drive ? | 04:00 |
Estesark | andi5: df output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d2df95039 | 04:00 |
mssever | Estesark: Well, it shows that / and /home are on two separate drives | 04:00 |
redheat | windows xp and windows vista, now as I know, any linux distribution can be installed on any logical partitions.. | 04:00 |
kindofabuzz | Schmiez: any progress? | 04:00 |
redheat | see I was aiming to install two linux systems on the smae harddrive, opensuse 10.3 and ubuntu 7.10 | 04:00 |
xanderp | Help please!! I just applied some updates, rebooted and now my system boots to a busybox cli! | 04:00 |
Estesark | mssever: I really can't believe that I've used 80% of my primary drive though, considering I download everything to /home | 04:00 |
redheat | and boot them all using the vista bootloader.. | 04:01 |
fab4fan | redheat: true but first thing you want to do is backup any data onto CD or DVD | 04:01 |
kindofabuzz | i'm about to go try MEPIS, i'll be back | 04:01 |
fab4fan | redheat: I'm not 100% sure but I think GRUB will overwrite the Vista bootloader | 04:01 |
redheat | fab4fan, the whole harddisk has been formatted, and right now all I have on it are two fresh copies of windows vista and windows xp | 04:01 |
mssever | Estesark: If you look at the disk usage analyzer (can't remember its name and I'm not on Ubuntu right now), it'll graphically show you what's eating your space | 04:01 |
cabrioleur | yowshi, wine did have issues with compiz. Did you try to turn it off? | 04:01 |
andi5 | Estesark: ouch ... either use baobab or "du -sm /*" to find out a bit more ... 115 GB is quite a lot :) | 04:02 |
redheat | this is what I've been working on getting rid off, see there's this awesome program called Easy BCD, which you can get from this URL | 04:02 |
fab4fan | redheat: they are fresh copies ? just installed ? | 04:02 |
mssever | xanderp: Are you sure it's busybox? or do you just mean CLI? | 04:02 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: this was before i installed compiz | 04:02 |
sjovan | okay... i just banned my self from my own teamspeak server. how do i unban? | 04:02 |
Estesark | mssever: That shows that /etc and /home take up the most space, but in total, everything adds up to about 200 GB, not the 300GB+ that df/mount is showing | 04:02 |
xanderp | it says busybox. | 04:02 |
redheat | http://neosmart.net/ | 04:02 |
yowshi | cabrioleur: it aklso had issues with alt+tabbing | 04:02 |
redheat | yep fab4fan | 04:03 |
mssever | Estesark: Hmm... have you drilled down into /etc to find the trouble? | 04:03 |
saminthemiddle | hello | 04:03 |
mssever | xanderp: Can you boot normally in recovery mode? | 04:03 |
donkey7186 | QUESTION. does anyone have trouble getting to the linksys setup website. 192.168.1.1 ????????? | 04:03 |
andi5 | mssever: fyi, that is baobab :) | 04:03 |
Sum1 | hello all:) I have a question | 04:03 |
mssever | andi5: thanks | 04:04 |
bazhang | donkey7186: that is your router not the website | 04:04 |
saminthemiddle | Sum1: me too ;-) | 04:04 |
mssever | donkey7186: no | 04:04 |
andi5 | Estesark: what about /tmp or /var? | 04:04 |
donkey7186 | i know but how do i get to it cause that is the default and it isnt working | 04:04 |
saminthemiddle | donkey7186: are you connecting though it nowL | 04:04 |
Estesark | mssever: Wow, no, I hadn't... apparently I've got 106 GB of backups. That must be it. | 04:04 |
redheat | now, this is how I partitioned my harddrive, first of all I have a 320 GB harddrive, where I have assigned 100 GB for windows vista, another 100 for windows xp and the rest is left as unallocated space, space I turned the remaining space into an extended partition with multiple logical drives, and I have kept 22 GB for ubuntu along with 22 GB for opensuse and 4 GB for swap | 04:04 |
donkey7186 | yes im connecting through it | 04:04 |
bazhang | donkey7186: what error are you getting | 04:04 |
xanderp | mssever: nope. I hit esc on the grub, turned off spash and quiet, and it shows mounting problems for root. I'm wondering if my uuid changed? | 04:04 |
Sum1 | i have a multiboot system, and I want to upgrade to 704, if I do so from the software updates manager, will it mess up my multiboot or my partition? | 04:04 |
saminthemiddle | donkey7186, try http;//192.168.1.1 | 04:05 |
donkey7186 | just when i type in 192.168.1.1 it bring up a page cannot be found | 04:05 |
xanderp | the prompt says initramfs | 04:05 |
cabrioleur | yowshi, I know. I'm sorry I cannot help you. VMWare is my only suggestion, as you might have it for free. | 04:05 |
mssever | xanderp: were these just run-of-the-mill updates? | 04:05 |
bazhang | donkey7186: this is wired or wirelessly | 04:05 |
mssever | donkey7186: can you ping 192.168.1.1? | 04:05 |
redheat | now nearing the end of ubuntu's installation, there's that small advanced option which tells you where do you want to install the grub | 04:05 |
saminthemiddle | donkey7186, sorry http://192.168.1.1 | 04:05 |
donkey7186 | wireless | 04:05 |
donkey7186 | how can i try to ping it | 04:05 |
xanderp | yup, mysql, mythtv, some libraries, that stuff... I didn't see anything system related... | 04:05 |
bazhang | donkey7186: you need an ethernet cable to set it up | 04:05 |
Estesark | This is confusing, being helped by two people at once (though I appreciate it). I'm pretty sure it's those backups that are taking up all the space, I must have mucked up my configuration. Anyway, thanks, andi5 and mssever. | 04:05 |
redheat | by the way fab4fan, http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Ubuntu this is the wiki to how to install | 04:05 |
donkey7186 | cause the router is on my main computer which i am in front of | 04:05 |
mssever | Estesark: np | 04:06 |
redheat | ubuntu and yet let it load from within vista's boot loader | 04:06 |
donkey7186 | well im trying to set it up on my regular computer | 04:06 |
andi5 | donkey7186: ping 192.168.1.1 :) | 04:06 |
redheat | fab4fan, are you still with me | 04:06 |
legend2440 | are the pre-released updates in gutsy safe to use or are they beta? | 04:06 |
saminthemiddle | donkey7138, from the terminal type ping 192.168.1.1 | 04:06 |
donkey7186 | where do i type that terminal? | 04:06 |
fab4fan | redheat: yeah | 04:06 |
Sum1 | ?? | 04:06 |
fab4fan | redheat: I'm not familiar with the Vista bootloader | 04:06 |
redheat | no, just look at it.. | 04:06 |
andi5 | is vista a new gnome theme? | 04:06 |

Sum1 | ?? | 04:07 |
redheat | there's nothing to it, since that program called easy bcd will do it for you... | 04:07 |
mssever | xanderp: Well, your UUID isn't *supposed* to change... Have you tried recovery mode (If you answered that already, I apologize) | 04:07 |
=== [r00723r0] is now known as r00723r0 |
saminthemiddle | Sum1: I'm not sure, but you should always make backups of your data | 04:07 |

andi5 | xanderp: what filesystem? | 04:07 |

xanderp | mssever: i tried recovery, it barfs too | 04:07 |
redheat | so the whole trick is just point your grub to root partition the one that has a mounting point of / | 04:08 |
xanderp | andi5: the default ubuntu fs... | 04:08 |
mssever | xanderp: you have to specify your partitions grub-style | 04:08 |
andi5 | xanderp: which is? ... ext3? | 04:08 |
redheat | now, it seems that ubuntu doesn't work under a logical drive... | 04:08 |
donkey7186 | so what should i do now | 04:08 |
saminthemiddle | Sum1: why not? But I don't think it will hurt the windows partition | 04:08 |
redheat | it need s a primary partition | 04:08 |
cabrioleur | Sum1, it should not, and 99.99999% will not make any mess with your windows partition, but again 0.00001%... | 04:08 |
xanderp | mssever: I didn't change anything, the defaults that ubuntu put in grub are what i was using. | 04:08 |
fab4fan | redheat: it looks like it should work | 04:08 |
mssever | xanderp: Or maybe not...I don't remember | 04:08 |

brandon | hey everyone, I just installed ubuntu, and now when i start it up, my monitor(not ubuntu) says 'Out of range'so i think there is a problem with the resolution, is there a fix for this? | 04:09 |
saminthemiddle | donkey7186: try connecting to the router, it might be broken though to hard-resetting it might help | 04:09 |
wenceslao | any ladies in here?? | 04:09 |

wenceslao | that what to chat with a newbe to be friend | 04:09 |
bazhang | wenceslao: offtopic | 04:09 |
redheat | that's what I thought, but it doesn't when I try to install ubuntu in one of the logical partitions I've created, but it works like magic when I put it in a primary partitions | 04:09 |
donkey7186 | connect to the router how? | 04:09 |
cabrioleur | redheat, it will work with lvm's as long as you install it during installation. | 04:09 |
andi5 | xanderp: /etc/fstab should tell you,... if it is ext3, i could suggest to use labels... set them with 'sudo e2label /dev/sxxn mylabel' and LABEL=mylabel in /etc/fstab | 04:09 |
donkey7186 | im already wireless | 04:09 |

LinuxMercedes | legend2440: it is | 04:10 |
Sum1 | Ok, so I tried this upgrade from S/M earlier, and I didnt know if this would mess up my partition so I used the force quit app to force quit the upgrade process. Now my S/M says that there are like 814 updates and when I run it it says that all updates cannot be installed and suggests that I run a distrobution update to get the updates that I can. I dont know what I have done | 04:10 |

cabrioleur | palomer, if yes, or you tried other sources of sound (skype etc.), make sure you have alsa-oss package installed. | 04:14 |

palomer | I had sound 2 minutes ago! | 04:16 |
cabrioleur | palomer, restart your alsa server or restart your computer. Your problems should go away. | 04:16 |
brandon | sam, when it says continue, i say 'Y', then for install packages without verificaton i say y, then it says... E: Unable to fetch some archives,... | 04:16 |

Estesark | Alright, I have another question now. Having deleted those huge backup files, baobab shows that my total usage is 292.5GB, yet adding up all the folders only shows 43GB. In order to delete the backup files, I had to do it as root - but they didn't go to the recycle bin. df is showing the same figures as before. I'm not convinced those files really deleted, is there a way to check? | 04:17 |
mssever | moDumass: are all browsers slow, or just some? | 04:18 |
palomer | how do I restart OSS? | 04:18 |
brandon | saminthemiddle: no, it looks to me like it cannot connect to the internet, so theres probably a problem with my network card. | 04:18 |
Ashfire908 | LinuxMercedes, a nice(/nicer) interface to processes is gnome-system-monitor, which you can run from System -> Administration -> System Monitor | 04:18 |
andi5 | Estesark: how did you delete those files then? | 04:18 |
moDumass | <mssever> im just checkin opera, but its slow in all others | 04:18 |
Ashfire908 | is there a program to convert a video to MPEG4 format? (or something else that a psp supports) | 04:18 |
saminthemiddle | brandon, but you're talking to me! | 04:18 |
moDumass | <mssever> firefox and konqueror are slow, im jsut checkin opera i think it stayed fast for some reason | 04:19 |
Estesark | andi5: sudo nautilus, and then selected the folders and pressed delete | 04:19 |
LinuxMercedes | Ashfire908: that'd be great, but I'm running Ubuntu server via ssh, so gui is out of the question | 04:19 |

lemcott | vlc can convert most files | 04:22 |
lemcott | but it does it x1 speed | 04:22 |
lemcott | meaning if you have a 2 hour and 45 minute movie | 04:22 |
Estesark | So even after sudo nautilus, the "Deleted Items" shortcut goes to user ollie's deleted items folder? | 04:22 |
lemcott | its gonna take exactly that long | 04:23 |
mssever | Estesark: no, to root's trash | 04:23 |
mssever | Estesark: Scratch that | 04:23 |

andi5 | mssever: on the third hand, this will not work on xfs... but maybe there is another command for that | 04:34 |
mssever | xanderp: it marks a file as immutable. read the chattr man page | 04:34 |
keoni | all of a sudden that is | 04:34 |
cabrioleur | keoni, not seen where? | 04:34 |
bazhang | keoni: what kernel do you use? | 04:34 |
mssever | andi5: Oh, xfs? | 04:35 |
xanderp | mssever: already there | 04:35 |
keoni | i think i recently upgraded or something | 04:35 |
andi5 | mssever: or rather everything except ext[23] | 04:35 |
keoni | i noticed my distributed.net stats dropped tremendously about a week ago | 04:35 |
mssever | andi5: I guess I tend to assume ext3 | 04:35 |
keoni | and i just checked all my boxes and i just noticed that top is showing dnetc only running on one core | 04:36 |
pike_ | dabbill: the 8800's have been problematic for some people because of how new they were.. you might grab the latest nvidia drivers see if they make a diff | 04:36 |
xanderp | chattr looks like just the thing.. i can't think of any reason to have updates screw with fstab... can anyone here? | 04:36 |
cabrioleur | keoni, top is made for 1 core. user htop if you want to see more. | 04:36 |
michael__ | cabrioleur: It looks like "trackerd" is the culprit - how can I disable it? | 04:36 |
dabbill | pike_, i have the latest nvidia drivers. 169.12 installed | 04:36 |
andi5 | mssever: i have switched quite a while ago, but i have no reason to regret that | 04:36 |
mssever | michael__: killall trackerd | 04:36 |
cabrioleur | michael__, "killall trackerd" | 04:37 |
mssever | andi5: switched to what? | 04:37 |
andi5 | mssever: xfs... well, just ignore me | 04:37 |
cabrioleur | michael__, and disable it in "sessions" wizard. | 04:37 |
mssever | andi5: sorry, I got dropped from the channel momentarily | 04:37 |
keoni | uname says 2.6.22-14-386, htop is saying the same thing | 04:37 |
anlek | Hello everyone | 04:38 |
keoni | thats is running on one core | 04:38 |
mssever | andi5: how is xfs different from ext3 | 04:38 |
Christoz | I have a question | 04:38 |
bazhang | keoni: need the generic | 04:38 |
cabrioleur | keoni, check you logs, and check your bios setup. | 04:38 |
andi5 | mssever: i think we are quite off-topic already =) | 04:38 |
mssever | !ask | Christoz | 04:38 |
Karsyth | ive just installed a teamspeak server on linux and ive got it running properly. only problem is i cannot configure it because i dont know the IP or the Port of my server. anyone that knows how to find it? | 04:38 |
ubotu | Christoz: 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. :-) | 04:38 |
michael__ | cabrioleur: thanks :) | 04:38 |
cabrioleur | keoni, "cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 04:38 |
tmh__ | am I the only one who lost sound capabilities in hardy a few days a go? | 04:38 |
anlek | can someone help me setup a static IP in Ubuntu 7.10 (Server) but it's running in VMWare Server. I'm not sure how to send it an external static IP. | 04:38 |
f0rmat | hello i was just wondering whether there was an app in ubuntu that can show all the connections my computer is having and show countrys of origin and other stats like that i had a program like that whilst i used windows it was a constant monitor and all you do is click a tray icon to bring up the window... | 04:39 |
bazhang | tmh__: #ubuntu+1 please | 04:39 |
andi5 | tmh__: please ask in #ubuntu+1 | 04:39 |
xanderp | thanks for the help all... off to bed... | 04:39 |
Christoz | bazhang hello ,is there any possibility,for my filesystem to be damaged | 04:39 |
Slaj_R | j #xenu | 04:39 |
mssever | f0rmat: etherape? | 04:39 |
tbwnoob | mt xserver goes down and says something about internet protocall and bus connection | 04:39 |
cabrioleur | f0rmat, wireshark :-) ha ha!! | 04:39 |
f0rmat | :) | 04:39 |
moDumass | <mssever> <andi5> would it have something to do with the gheco gekko the mozilla engine? | 04:39 |
f0rmat | thankyou | 04:39 |
bazhang | Christoz: please specify; what is the issue you are having | 04:39 |
andi5 | moDumass: gecko, you mean... well, does not konqueror come with khtml as well? | 04:40 |
Christoz | bazhang for example when i'm trying to ./configure wormux it cannot find the a sdl lib | 04:40 |
moDumass | <mssever> <andi5> khtml? | 04:40 |
andi5 | bazhang: to compile stuff you need developer packages, those ending on -dev | 04:40 |
cabrioleur | Christoz, no | 04:40 |
mssever | moDumass: Konqueror doesn't use Geckol; it uses KHTML | 04:40 |
Karsyth | (12:38:35 AM) Karsyth: ive just installed a teamspeak server on linux and ive got it running properly. only problem is i cannot configure it because i dont know the IP or the Port of my server. anyone that knows how to find it? | 04:40 |
Christoz | bazhang which is weird cause i can see it with my own eyes but system cannot | 04:40 |
bazhang | Christoz: what is wormux and where did you install it from (random website, repos etc) | 04:40 |
keoni | says model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ | 04:41 |
mssever | Karsyth: Try ifconfig | 04:41 |
Christoz | bazhang at first from repos (debian package) but didn't work | 04:41 |
mssever | Karsyth: and look in the config or docs for the port | 04:41 |
cabrioleur | keoni, it should say a line like this" <keoni> i think i recently upgraded or something" | 04:41 |
keoni | lol | 04:41 |
TCMC2010 | people, I see new ubuntu 8.04 has a 2.6.24 kernel, Will be possible to boot the iso inside a paravirtualized domU virtual machine to install ubuntu ?! where is the .config file for de kernel on boot CD ? | 04:42 |
moDumass | <mssever> <andi5> ok, hmm, what does opera use that these other 2 dont? | 04:42 |
cabrioleur | keoni, sorry, cpu cores : 2 | 04:42 |
andi5 | Christoz: to compile stuff you need developer packages, those ending on -dev ... sorry bazhang | 04:42 |
Christoz | bazhang then 've downloades it as a tar soucre ball from the official website | 04:42 |
bazhang | Christoz: what is the precise error you are getting? are you compiling this from source and have you compiled from before? | 04:42 |
moDumass | or what would stop internet from blazing with the other two and not with opera | 04:42 |
f0rmat | mssever & cabrioleur, Thankyou for your help :) | 04:42 |
andi5 | moDumass: please try out w3m or lynx, or remove me from your irc message recipient list :) | 04:42 |
keoni | i think i did about a week ago but im trying to get some suggestions as what to look at to find the culprit | 04:42 |
mssever | moDumass: its own renderer... Hard do say for sure since it's proprietary | 04:42 |
cabrioleur | f0rmat, no problemo amigo. | 04:42 |
f0rmat | :0 | 04:42 |
moDumass | <andi5> sorry man, you were jsut one of the 2 people who seemed to know what was going on | 04:43 |
dabbill | pike_, know of any thing else that i might be able to try? | 04:43 |
Christoz | bazhang you can see various info @ | 04:43 |
Christoz | http://pastebin.ca/search.php?q=Christosz and @ http://pastebin.ca/search.php?q=Christoz | 04:43 |
mssever | TCMC2010: Hardy questions belong in #ubuntu+1 | 04:43 |
bazhang | keoni: the generic kernel supports smp | 04:43 |
TCMC2010 | thanks! | 04:43 |
andi5 | TCMC2010: normally .configs are at /boot/config-*... i am not sure about the live cds though | 04:44 |
TCMC2010 | yeah, that's I know! :-) | 04:44 |
Christoz | bazhang if you look at the config.log you can see that "rotozoom" is missing but i can tell you its in front of my own eyes | 04:44 |
bazhang | Christoz: is this your first time compiling? | 04:44 |
anlek | I'm trying to setup a Linux server running in VMWare Server. And I want that linux server to have an external IP, (host machine is windows 2003 Server). Can anyone point me to where I can learn how to do this? | 04:44 |
TCMC2010 | but the server install isn't live! | 04:44 |
Christoz | bazhang nope | 04:45 |
TCMC2010 | maybe isolinux under .iso ?! | 04:45 |
andi5 | Christoz: you may also look at config.log and check out what went wrong exactly (even more precisely is to look at configure as well) | 04:45 |
koko775 | i just installed a fresh hardy beta amd64 from alternative, and metacity won't stop crashing | 04:45 |
koko775 | has anyone else had a similar problem? | 04:45 |
mssever | anlek: it's in /etc/network/interfaces | 04:45 |
koko775 | looking at launchpad, i see there are lots of metacity crashes | 04:45 |
bazhang | koko775: #ubuntu+1 please | 04:45 |
koko775 | ah | 04:45 |
koko775 | thanks | 04:45 |
jedi-alex | i just installed successfully ubuntu 7.10 (stable) using alternative install version, but my computer only boots in xp! | 04:45 |
Christoz | andi5 obviously i've looked | 04:45 |
mssever | anlek: I believe that man interfaces will give you docs | 04:45 |
anlek | mssever, thanks I'll give that a try | 04:45 |
jedi-alex | do you know how to boot in ubuntu? | 04:46 |
andi5 | Christoz: oh, i did not see the config.log, i am sorry | 04:46 |
Christoz | andi5 it's ok | 04:46 |
Nutzebahn | Hi. | 04:46 |
bazhang | Christoz: there is usually a readme file with those that tells you how to compile it; never seen wormux (no idea what it is), but that might be a good place to look--why not just install from repos if it is there | 04:47 |
Nutzebahn | Could someone show me how to install a GDM theme? | 04:47 |
andi5 | Christoz: configure:9663: result: ERROR: SDL_gfx library version >= 2.0.13 required | 04:47 |
saminthemiddle | I have a question: how do tell ACPI to kill ipw3945d and restart it given that ipw3945d isn't in /etc/init.d/ | 04:47 |
mssever | Nutzebahn: drag it onto the GDM config window | 04:47 |
Christoz | andi5 this lib is already installed | 04:47 |
Nutzebahn | I don't know where to find the GDM config window, how? | 04:47 |
onemike9886 | hey everyone i am tryin to tunnel my smb shares over ssh so i can access my music n movies on my laptop while im at a friends i have ubuntu 7.10 gutsy on both my laptop and my desktop and i can connect via ssh but if i go into network my samba shares dont show up how do i tunnel them through ssh? | 04:48 |
Christoz | andi5 i'm not "crazy" i'm telling you the truth | 04:48 |
mssever | Nutzebahn: I think it's gdmsetup; I'm not on Ubuntu ATM | 04:48 |
Christoz | bazhang it;s not only wormux it;s openarena too and whatever game need the SDL lib | 04:49 |
TCMC2010 | thanks! | 04:49 |
andi5 | Christoz: i do not know the configure script... if you want to you could paste that as well :-) | 04:49 |
mackid | onemike9886: i don't know how to do it with SMB, only AFP, but for afp i do something like this: ssh -L54854:127.0.0.1:548 -C user@afpserver.com | 04:49 |
andi5 | Christoz: i would ask other stupid questions then :) | 04:49 |
Christoz | bazhang oh no hard feelings man i didn't want to insult you if i did sorry | 04:50 |
Christoz | that was fro andi5 sorry | 04:50 |
bazhang | heh | 04:50 |
Christoz | andi5 ok | 04:51 |
mackid | onemike9886: then i login with afp to localhost:54854 i think | 04:51 |
andi5 | Christoz: i always have difficulties guessing the level of knowledge people have here... sometimes they did not try the most obvious things :) | 04:51 |
Angela_Smith | hi, anyone know if the 64bit 8.04 has the wubi installer? TIA :D | 04:51 |
mackid | onemike9886: so it's just a matter of changing port numbers in that command | 04:51 |
onemike9886 | mackid: im only slightly familiar with networking so is 127.0.0.1:548 the local ip for the desktop and the port for afp? | 04:51 |
mackid | onemike9886: 548 is afp | 04:51 |
bazhang | Angela_Smith: #ubuntu+1 please | 04:52 |
mackid | onemike9886: 54854 is arbitrary i think | 04:52 |
mackid | onemike9886: yes, that's right, i just looked it up | 04:52 |
Jeffmeister | howdy fellow ubuntu users! | 04:53 |

andi5 | HardyOne: #ubuntu+1 ;-) | 04:54 |
bazhang | Jeffmeister: what is your specific issue? | 04:54 |
legend2440 | Angela_Smith: http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php#804 | 04:54 |
HardyOne | andi5, thank you I am already there :P | 04:54 |
mackid | onemike9886: smb is 445 i believe, so maybe ssh -L54854:127.0.0.1:445 -C user@smbserver.com, then login to smb://127.0.0.1:54854 | 04:54 |
Angela_Smith | thanks legend2440 | 04:54 |
Rufus53__ | wow, theres' a few people here | 04:54 |
legend2440 | Angela_Smith: yw | 04:54 |
mackid | onemike9886: you don't do anything on the actual smb server | 04:54 |
moDumass | !www | 04:54 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about www - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:54 |
mackid | onemike9886: only on the client | 04:54 |
Jeffmeister | to make a long story short, I have an x86 system, Q6600, 8800GT. I made partition in vista, I booted off ubuntu 7.10 live cd. | 04:55 |
Rufus53__ | can anyone help me with getting mysql to work with php? | 04:55 |
LainIwakura | After running 'application filename', am I no longer able to type in the terminal (which I typed the command in) until the application is closed? | 04:55 |
fr500 | hello | 04:55 |
fr500 | can anyone helo me to enable file transfers on xhat-gnome | 04:55 |
Christoz | andi5 look at http://pastebin.ca/954892 and at http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sdlgfxnq0.png this is so weird | 04:55 |
Rufus53__ | has nvidia fixed the drivers for the 8800gt in linux yet? | 04:55 |
r00723r0 | Anyone know of any good open-source CASs? | 04:55 |
Jeffmeister | chose regular install. started getting loading screen loaded up, then got beeps and black screen | 04:55 |
nikrud | LainIwakura try appname & , the & will put it in the background and release the commandline | 04:55 |
fr500 | there was some / command you have to run | 04:55 |
jedi-alex | i cant boot i just installed ubuntu and it only boots into windows xp... i find out in google that i have to add a line for C:\ubuntu.bin but this files doesn't exist | 04:56 |
andi5 | LainIwakura: press Control+Z to suspend and afterwards bg to run in the background... or rather start with "application params &" in the beginning | 04:56 |
mackid | onemike9886: i have to leave, but if 445 doesn't work, try 139. good luck | 04:56 |
onemike9886 | mackid: ok and the user@smbserver.com would be user@myroutersipaddress right | 04:56 |
andi5 | Christoz: looking | 04:56 |
HardyOne | Jeffmeister, try installing from the Alternate CD | 04:56 |
Rufus53__ | please message me if you know about php and mysql! | 04:56 |
mackid | onemike9886: the router that the server is behind, yeah, but you'll need to forward port 445 on the router to the PC that is the server if you are using NAT | 04:56 |
Flannel | !anyone | Rufus53__ | 04:57 |
ubotu | Rufus53__: 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? | 04:57 |
r00723r0 | Anyone know of any good open-source CASs? | 04:57 |
onemike9886 | mackid: ok i'll see what i can do thanks alot | 04:57 |
mackid | lol ubotu, someone did it right after you said that... | 04:57 |
Rufus53__ | okay, I get this when trying to get a database working http://123.243.205.213/mysqlup.php | 04:57 |
mackid | oh, that's a bot, i understand | 04:57 |

Rufus53__ | i found that my phpinfo() is not working with php http://123.243.205.213/index.php | 04:57 |
astro76 | r00723r0: Maxima | 04:57 |
jedi-alex | guys please help im trying for over 8 hours to install ubuntu and now i cant boot | 04:57 |
Jeffmeister | HardyOne: so.... I tried the alternate cd. as soon as it booted first error was ( PCI: Unable to allocate memory ...) then it started and it went thru the text install process. It started installign and i finally thought I was going to make it. At Software and Installing I got to xsorb something and then please wait at 6% and then got error. since im a noob to linux all together i finished the installation | 04:58 |
r00723r0 | mackid, also, my question is my only question. | 04:58 |
koko775 | how do i get xfwm4 to start by default, instead of metacity? | 04:58 |
r00723r0 | astro76, do you know how this compares to SAGE or Axiom? | 04:58 |
mackid | r00723r0: yeah i realize that, i'm sorry, i'm a little tired | 04:58 |
fr500 | how to save that xchat option /set dcc_auto_send 1? | 04:58 |
r00723r0 | mackid, don't be sorry :) | 04:58 |
astro76 | r00723r0: I do not | 04:58 |
Christoz | andi5 i've looked also at this page http://www.wormux.org/wiki/howto/en/...ource_code.php and no progress has been making | 04:58 |
r00723r0 | astro76, have you tried any other CASs? | 04:58 |
Flannel | Rufus53__: Do you have php5-mysql installed? | 04:58 |
mackid | alright, i'm out | 04:58 |
andi5 | Christoz: hm... i meant the configure script, not its output :) | 04:59 |
Jeffmeister | hardyone: Then I I tried booting into ubuntu and i got a command line with and it stopped at my ISP mask and asked me to input something and then got password which I don't need since its DHCP. so im preety sure it didnt install any thing. | 04:59 |
Jeffmeister | so im back to square one | 04:59 |
Rufus53__ | Flannel: not sure, it's the default ubuntu install on myserver | 04:59 |
ExoticDancer23 | I try ./configure for the musictracker-0.4.1 is not working for me error : C compiler ? any ideas? | 04:59 |
Jeffmeister | the cd was checked for integrity the alternate, with no problem | 04:59 |
Rufus53__ | i've tried editing the php.ini and such | 04:59 |
ExoticDancer23 | Pidgin I try ./configure for the musictracker-0.4.1 is not working for me error : C compiler ? any ideas? | 04:59 |
andi5 | ExoticDancer23: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 04:59 |
saminthemiddle | has anyone else had the problem/knows how to fix the problem of iwl3945 not being able to connect after resume from sleep? | 05:00 |
Flannel | Rufus53__: You don't need to edit php.ini. Follow these instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP | 05:00 |
Christoz | andi5 oops now i'm feeling stupid ...what do yo mean exactly | 05:00 |
Jeffmeister | Has anyone with a Q6600, 8800GT have had problems installing Ubuntu with beeps/blackscreen?? If so your help would be greatly appreciated | 05:00 |
andi5 | Christoz: there should be a file named "configure" :-D | 05:00 |
HardyOne | Jeffmeister, you can try the server install cd and when done you sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get the GUI. more then that I have no idea | 05:00 |
Jeffmeister | i dont think that will work | 05:01 |
Jeffmeister | there has to be soemthing else | 05:01 |
=== Ghoster is now known as xoRock |
HardyOne | ExoticDancer23, install build-essential from Synaptic | 05:01 |
sjovan | Jeffmeister: have you tryed the alternate cd? | 05:01 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister, HardyOne, better to just use the alternate CD. Jeffmeister, does ctrl-alt-f1 get you to a termina? | 05:01 |
Jeffmeister | yes | 05:01 |
Jeffmeister | havnt tried that flannel | 05:01 |
Jeffmeister | noob to linux | 05:01 |
Rufus53__ | Jeffmeister: I have 2 8800gt's in SLI and i breifly got them working after the nvidia driver installed, but when you restart it goes to a black screen | 05:01 |
Jeffmeister | and my laptop broke so I can't be on here and working ony desktop | 05:02 |
jedi-alex | sjovan i just installed ubuntu and i cant multi boot... how can i fix it? | 05:02 |
Jeffmeister | im waiting for it to get back from service | 05:02 |
jedi-alex | it only boots into windowsxp | 05:02 |
ExoticDancer23 | HardyOne is there a command to do synptic install like sudo install build? | 05:02 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: Some graphics cards don't like the LiveCD, but work perfectly fine once installed. You'd get a black screen for the GUI, but the text stuff would work fine (as should the alternate CD) | 05:02 |
Jeffmeister | jedi did you install grub? | 05:02 |
HardyOne | ExoticDancer23, sudo apt-get install build-essential | 05:02 |
jedi-alex | i dont know | 05:02 |
Christoz | andi5 i can't paste it on pastebin...why? | 05:02 |
sjovan | jedi-alex: sorry, i don't know anything about multi booting | 05:02 |
jedi-alex | i just wanna boot into ubuntu | 05:02 |
jedi-alex | and i cant | 05:02 |
andi5 | Christoz: maybe it is too big :) | 05:03 |
Jeffmeister | flannel the problem is that my install got stuck at 6% with the alternate cd and I wasn't able to install it | 05:03 |
jedi-alex | is there something i can do from windows? | 05:03 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: That sounds like a bad burn, did the disc pass the CD check? | 05:03 |
Christoz | andi5 yes this is correct | 05:03 |
ahyuwhiye | is ubuntu using partman like debian during the installation? | 05:03 |
Jeffmeister | flannel it did | 05:03 |
andi5 | Christoz: maybe you see something in it by yourself... just start with searching for "required ..." | 05:03 |
ExoticDancer23 | HardyOne it say insert the disc 7.10 | 05:03 |
Christoz | andi5 ok hold on please | 05:03 |
captaingeek | anyone know how to make an account purge itself on logout? | 05:03 |
HardyOne | ExoticDancer23, you can insert the disc but you will want to check !repos | 05:04 |
Jeffmeister | jedi get partition magic for xp, make a partition and install it on that | 05:04 |
Jeffmeister | all you need is like 20gb | 05:04 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: Still sounds like a bad burn, uh, you can try the minimal CD, which will download the packages form the internet (and as such, they can't cause problems with data during the install) | 05:04 |
Flannel | !minimal | Jeffmeister | 05:04 |
ubotu | Jeffmeister: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:04 |

Jeffmeister | bad burn even though it passed the test? | 05:04 |
Jeffmeister | the ubuntu test | 05:04 |
captaingeek | anyone know how to make an account purge itself on logout? | 05:05 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: well, freezing during package reading just screams bad burn, even though the disk check says otherwise. Other than bad data, there's no real reason for it to stop consistantly at one package. | 05:05 |
Jeffmeister | it was after teh os install | 05:05 |
andi5 | captaingeek: i have no clue, does sabayon offer such a feature? | 05:05 |
Jeffmeister | im assuming it was isntalling gui | 05:05 |
Jeffmeister | crap like that | 05:05 |
donkey7186 | hello | 05:05 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: No, the install itself installs the GUI and such. What happened exactly? | 05:06 |
jedi-alex | Jeffmeister it took me about 9 to install it successfuly, and at the last part i show that i was installing a dual booting feature but after reboot it only boots into windowsxp | 05:06 |
Christoz | andi5 did you notice about the"rotozoom" in the config.log | 05:06 |
dabbill | Any one useing an 8800 video card? if so what drivers are you useing? I cant seem to get any type of performace out of my 8800GT. | 05:06 |
fr500 | captaingeek: you want to delete all the home directory and settings at logout? | 05:06 |

Christoz | andi5 look i'm sending you the part of the script for rotozoom this is @ http://pastebin.ca/954901 | 05:07 |
donkey7186 | i kind of have a problem i installed something from linksys i enabled the WEP password protection thing | 05:07 |
Jeffmeister | Flannel: It unpacked and then it started with Installing and Software started installing and then got to xsorb and then said please wait... 6% and stayed there for a while... and then said came out with an error you can try to skip. and all i could do was continue | 05:07 |
donkey7186 | how do i remove it | 05:07 |
Jeffmeister | log into your router | 05:08 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: Oh, still during the install. Does it do that consistantly? | 05:08 |
Jeffmeister | i tried it twice | 05:08 |
Jeffmeister | and it did it same place | 05:08 |
Jeffmeister | but i downloaded straight from ubuntu | 05:08 |
Jeffmeister | and burned it with poweriso | 05:08 |
Jeffmeister | tdk cd-r | 05:08 |
Jeffmeister | checked cd with ubuntu and was valid | 05:09 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: Do you have another computer to verify the CD with? | 05:09 |
josh | when i do setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550a port 0x06A8 irq 4 baud_base 34800 my device works but when i put /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550a port 0x06A8 irq 4 baud_base 34800 in /etc/init.d/setserial, i get an error and the device doesn't work | 05:09 |
Jeffmeister | i have another computer i can do it to, but its different specs | 05:09 |
Jeffmeister | basic comp | 05:09 |
Christoz | andi5 2 days before i've tried to sow my system where to find it with this command :checking for rotozoomSurfaceXY in -lSDL_gfx... yes | 05:09 |
Christoz | checking SDL_rotozoom.h usability... no | 05:09 |
Christoz | checking SDL_rotozoom.h presence... no | 05:09 |
Christoz | checking for SDL_rotozoom.h... no | 05:09 |
josh | arnt' i supposed to put that line in setserial? | 05:10 |
Flannel | Jeffmeister: Thats fine, the CD does the verification. We're just looking for different hardware to verify with. | 05:10 |
Christoz | andi5 oops sorry | 05:10 |
TheViLliN | ohhh boy, does anyone have experience with ati drivers for an integrated x1250 | 05:10 |
bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4131809&postcount=9 Jeffmeister have yo seen this? | 05:10 |
andi5 | Christoz: hm... did you install to /usr/local before? that is the include directory mentioned when compiling the test | 05:10 |
Jeffmeister | flannel before i do that let me try the gutsy gibbon minimal | 05:10 |
Rufus53__ | Flannel: if i follow the instructions you gave me from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP, can I just install everything over the top of the existing setup? | 05:11 |
andi5 | Christoz: i would say either clean /usr/local completely or install sdl completely :) | 05:11 |
bazhang | Jeffmeister: that link should do it for you in the livecd installer | 05:11 |
josh | when i do setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550a port 0x06A8 irq 4 baud_base 34800 my device works but when i put /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550a port 0x06A8 irq 4 baud_base 34800 in /etc/init.d/setserial, i get an error and the device doesn't work | 05:11 |
Flannel | Rufus53__: you can skip them, or re-do them, sure. Skip the stuff you've already done, for instance. | 05:11 |
Rufus53__ | thanks, I'm trying it now | 05:11 |
RioMerc | Hello ubuntu-ers | 05:11 |
TuTUXG_ | hi RioMerc | 05:12 |
Christoz | andi5 well i tried to show system where to find it with this command : ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/SDL" | 05:12 |
KiD_ChAoS | a man by the name of jocob loaded a sinister LKM upon my machine what do i do? | 05:12 |
Jeffmeister | bazhang | 05:12 |
RioMerc | Question: I have two monitors, a dual-head ATI card and fglrx. How do I go about setting up an extended desktop setup | 05:12 |
LainIwakura | andi5: Thanks, I started with 'application filename &'. Now is it common to do a Ctrl+c after that so I can back to typing? What exactly does Ctrl+c do? When the application is closed, it also prints that out in the terminal--can I prevent this? | 05:12 |
Christoz | andi5 that's abone /usr/local and worked | 05:12 |
Jeffmeister | im gonna try that with the live cd see if it works ok | 05:12 |
Christoz | andi5 this worked | 05:13 |
HardyOne | LKM? KiD_ChAoS | 05:13 |
mojo | Is there a history log on-line that i can search the irc chat to see if a question i asked earlier got answered? I was afk a while .. | 05:13 |
RioMerc | I've already tried BigDesktop, but phailure is the only thing that meets me. Every time. | 05:13 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc : lol,, i have a similar trouble | 05:13 |
Jeffmeister | bazhang the thing is i get beeps | 05:13 |
Christoz | andi5 i've made make nad after make install | 05:13 |
TuTUXG_ | !dual-monitor | 05:13 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dual-monitor - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:13 |
Jeffmeister | when the screen is off | 05:13 |
mcquaid__ | i'm trying to run that script that'll grab the appropriate fglrx version depending on your card. the script is failing cause it's saying bad xorg.conf | 05:13 |
TuTUXG_ | !dual | 05:13 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dual - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:13 |
Jeffmeister | and thats why i dont think the problem is that | 05:13 |
RioMerc | Damnit | 05:13 |
Flannel | !logs > mojo | 05:13 |

KiD_ChAoS | HardyOne: Loadable Kerlnel Module | 05:13 |
bazhang | Jeffmeister: lets worry about one thing at a time okay? | 05:13 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc: what res are you running | 05:13 |
RioMerc | At the moment | 05:14 |
RioMerc | 1280x1024 | 05:14 |
andi5 | LainIwakura: ctrl-c sends an interrupt, causing many applications to cease... if you do not want them to print to the terminal, then start application &>/dev/null & | 05:14 |
mojo | Flannel, thanks | 05:14 |
mcquaid__ | this is on a hardy beta box. this is due to hardy's xorg using a minimal xorg.conf | 05:14 |
RioMerc | But I've had it ad 800x600 a few times due to a fucked up xorg.conf | 05:14 |
LainIwakura | andi5: Alright, thanks. | 05:14 |
RioMerc | I'm on ubuntu 7.10, by the way | 05:14 |
ExoticDancer23 | HardyOne when i ./configure then i use make but then it say "bi targets specified and no makefile found. stop." | 05:14 |
bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please mcquaid__ | 05:14 |
RioMerc | Thought I should probably mention that | 05:14 |
andi5 | Christoz: is there a --with-sdl=... flag to configure? | 05:14 |
RioMerc | !logs > Riomerc | 05:14 |
mcquaid__ | anyway, can anyone using fglrx give me their xorg.conf from gutsy | 05:14 |
RioMerc | Doesn't work :) | 05:14 |
mcquaid__ | bazhang, that's why i asked here | 05:15 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc: I must have reconfigured mine 20 times now. can't get it out of 800x600 | 05:15 |
fr500 | is gns3 available on ubuntu? | 05:15 |
HardyOne | ExoticDancer23, sorry I cant help you. | 05:15 |
KiD_ChAoS | who here chooses flux over gutsy | 05:15 |
ExoticDancer23 | HardyOne http://code.google.com/p/musictracker/ | 05:15 |
RioMerc | Mcquaid, I would, but it's unstable and configured for two monitors. When I say unstable, I mean it will explode your computer every startup | 05:15 |
TheViLliN | witht hat driver anyways | 05:15 |
Christoz | andi5 yes this :$ ./configure --with-sdl-gfx-prefix=/usr/local but didn't work | 05:15 |
mcquaid__ | cause i actually need a gutsy fglrx xorg.conf, the minimal hardy one is trying up this script, probably cause it's missing a screen section or something | 05:15 |
Jeffmeister | brb | 05:15 |
RioMerc | TheVillin: I can't even remember how the hell I managed to get it to this resolution | 05:15 |
ExoticDancer23 | HardyOne alright thank you very much | 05:15 |
RioMerc | Do you have a dual setup? | 05:15 |
andi5 | Christoz: do you plan to use /usr or /usr/local now? ... i am ... confused | 05:15 |
Christoz | andi5 i think i must format my system and reinstalling | 05:15 |
bazhang | mcquaid__: you should pastebin your xorg.conf ih the other channel | 05:16 |
andi5 | format? .. o no | 05:16 |
Christoz | andi5 i've tried both | 05:16 |
cyborg | hi | 05:16 |
andi5 | Christoz: simply remove all contents of /usr/local and retry | 05:16 |
pulpfiction | is there any GOOD ftp client, with folders monitoring, folders lock while navigating, etc? | 05:16 |
Christoz | andi5 ok whatever bigman says | 05:16 |
pulpfiction | i've already tested gftp, filezilla and fireftp, but they're too basic :( | 05:16 |
mcquaid__ | bazhang, you don't get it. i don't want help from hardy users, i wanted a 'gutsy' xorg.conf that's shall we say more complete but doesn't matter i'll find it | 05:16 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc: did you use the aticonfig tool??? | 05:17 |
RioMerc | Once, but it wasn't too successful | 05:17 |
andi5 | pulpfiction: folders monitoring? does that mean that the clients keeps polling for directory changes? | 05:17 |
RioMerc | In the end, I just used a default copy and did some really minor modifications | 05:17 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc, hmmm same here | 05:17 |
bazhang | mcquaid__: sorry I do get it; this is for gutsy and that channel is for hardy | 05:17 |
pulpfiction | andi5, yes | 05:17 |
mcquaid__ | yep, that's why i don't want to be there | 05:17 |
RioMerc | Thevillin: What if I send you my xorg.conf? | 05:17 |
mcquaid__ | and you must not get it, but again it's ok | 05:18 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc: sure | 05:18 |
TheViLliN | RioMerc: plz | 05:18 |
yowshi | hmmm i am trying to unmount a drive but it is saying it is busy. how do i find out whats using it | 05:18 |
andi5 | pulpfiction: i guess asking for the _why_ is not wanted, right? :) | 05:18 |
mcquaid__ | bazhang, put it this way, if one was asking someone else for a sample gutsy xorg.conf, would they go to ubuntu or ubuntu+1 | 05:18 |
TuTUXG_ | mcquaid__, what r u looking for in xorg.conf? | 05:18 |
KiD_ChAoS | buy a dell TheViLliN | 05:18 |
pulpfiction | andi5, it's a feature, you may use it or may not.. but sometimes it's quite useful :) | 05:19 |
RioMerc | Kid_ChAoS, Die. | 05:19 |

Christoz | andi5 when your system is completely new what folder and files all in /usr/local? | 05:22 |
RioMerc | Thevillin: Perhaps a window titled RioMerc? | 05:22 |

HinHin | emman, http://en.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ is quite a good guide | 05:24 |
RioMerc | emman, I don't think anyone would morally tell you though, and apparmor is pretty strong | 05:24 |
andi5 | emman: with bash internal commands? i highly doubt that... and once you start execing external programs, you cannot call it bash-only anymore | 05:24 |

Christoz | andi5 how can i remove everything in there? | 05:28 |
marauder | virus, lame, try removing them off machines all day for a while. then you will really know | 05:28 |
emman | you have to destroy something in order to learn how to fix it | 05:28 |
marauder | at least make it so the user never sees it | 05:28 |
emman | i want to destroy my ubuntu | 05:28 |
bazhang | emman: more info about viruses can be found in ##windows | 05:29 |
emman | and find ways to fix it | 05:29 |
hischild | emman, that's incorrect | 05:29 |
andi5 | Christoz: sudo rm -rf /usr/local .... make sure you have no typo in it and do not delete stuff you need :) | 05:29 |
emman | nah | 05:29 |
marauder | yes | 05:29 |
emman | i want it in linux | 05:29 |

andi5 | emman: destroy your linux? ... man shred | 05:29 |
emman | My linux | 05:29 |
emman | and fix it after | 05:30 |
RioMerc | emman: Oddly enough, the best way to learn how to fix somthing is to fix it. I don't know how it happened, but I think it has somthing to do with logic and common sense | 05:30 |
bazhang | emman: still offtopic here | 05:30 |

bullgard4 | tritium: Do you refer to "The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is the most widely-used name server software on the Internet"? | 06:05 |

andi5 | bullgard4: bind9, yes i suppose that is the application to the description you mentioned | 06:06 |
tritium | bullgard4: yes, of which you only have the bind9-host package, and not the bind9 server package | 06:06 |

Zasch | Hello. Is there a way to search for files in Ubuntu? | 06:06 |
zcat[1] | Zasch: locate | 06:06 |
kindofabuzz | whereis | 06:06 |
pike_ | Zasch: several | 06:06 |
tritium | and which | 06:06 |
zcat[1] | Zasch: or the search tool on the toolbar (looks like a magnifying glass) | 06:06 |
andi5 | Zasch: find :) | 06:07 |
kindofabuzz | or he probably means through a gui | 06:07 |
kindofabuzz | i know my tracker doesn't work | 06:07 |
Zasch | pike_: What are some of the other ones? | 06:07 |
pike_ | Zasch: there are also some good search tools you can install through the package manager like beagle | 06:07 |
zcat[1] | Places > Search for files | 06:07 |
andi5 | Zasch: what do you try to achieve? | 06:07 |

Saraphim | Hi everyone. Is there a way that I can start a program on another user's X server= Say user Joe is logged on an x server and I want to log in as user Joe on an ssh client and start a program on the running X server? | 06:08 |
Zasch | andi5: I need to scan a large number of documents, and there is a standardised naming pattern ([Year][Department ID][Section ID][Part ID]), and I need to be able to pull up specific documents quickly | 06:08 |
Rhihannisu | linux n00b here, have a gui question. is there a way to set different background images/wallpapers for each workspace? | 06:09 |
neeto | Does anyone know anything about DNS forwarding on a local network using bind9? | 06:09 |
bazhang | Saraphim: with or without their knowledge? | 06:09 |
pike_ | Rhihannisu: yes in xubuntu (xfce) and kde (kubuntu) fraid im not sure about gnome | 06:10 |
andi5 | Zasch: do those files change a lot? i suppose you could either index them, using beagle or trackerd, or use slocate (with anacron) | 06:10 |
Saraphim | bazhang: Currently I can start the program AS their user, so I suppose they won't be able to know either way? | 06:10 |
bazhang | Saraphim: with their permission? what program are you trying to run and to what end? | 06:11 |
Rhihannisu | k thanx Pike, tho I am using gnome for now. long-time windows guy trying to defect... | 06:11 |
pike_ | Rhihannisu: you might search ubuntuforums.org im sure it comes up often | 06:11 |
Zasch | andi5: The files should never change after they are put on the computer. Another thing that it needs to be able to do is pull up documents that partially match the filename (so, for instance, if I wanted everything from 2007 from Department 1, I could type in 200701 and get everything). One problem is that I've already put several documents on the computer, but they don't show up in search | 06:11 |
Saraphim | bazhang: It's a general case. In this case I want to start transmission on their end, but as I said, it's a general case. What I want is for their program to turn up on their graphical interface even though I've started it from a remote SSH terminal. | 06:12 |
bazhang | Saraphim: you want to use their computer as a zombie botnet? is that the gist of it? | 06:12 |
andi5 | Zasch: you could also use file globbing, like 2008-*-*-whatever.txt and alike (google will help) | 06:12 |
tsukasa | hey guys, my tab autocompletion isnt working with sudo - any idea why? | 06:13 |
Saraphim | bazhang: No, not at all. I've killed a program remotely because it was being a problem and now I want to restart it and make it appear on their desktop again. | 06:13 |
=== trainman is now known as Densha_Otoko |
bullgard4 | tritium: On my computer the DEB program package 'bind9' is not installed. Synaptic says: "Internet Domain Name Server." Would I have a /var/named directory if I installed the 'bind9' package? | 06:13 |
bazhang | Saraphim: why not just use rtorrent then? no gui | 06:13 |
andi5 | tsukasa: you mean it does not auto-complete binaries in root's PATH but not in yours? | 06:13 |
* omolina is away: Not here | 06:14 |
Saraphim | bazhang: Because I want it to reappear on their desktop. :-) | 06:14 |
tritium | bullgard4: I told you you'd only have the bind9-host package installed. And no, the bind9 package doesn't include /var/named. Why do you want that directory? | 06:14 |
tsukasa | andi5, it will complete directories but not say apt-get or mkfs.<tab> | 06:14 |
Zasch | andi5: Hmm. I'm trying to use Tracker, and it is finding some (old) files but not others. Why would this be the case? | 06:14 |
Saraphim | bazhang: A more general question then; Is there no way I can launch a program from ssh that will use the target machine's X server as display? | 06:14 |
andi5 | Zasch: i have no idea... i personally strongly dislike programs disturbing my usual work flow :) | 06:15 |
bullgard4 | tritium: In order to learn more about the meaning of Red Hat's 'Zone files'. | 06:15 |
bazhang | talk about offtopic ;] | 06:15 |
andi5 | Zasch: please re-ask generically, i.e. do not address me =) | 06:16 |
tritium | bullgard4: truly offtopic in an ubuntu channel | 06:16 |
pike_ | Saraphim: 'w' to see whos logged in and their display. then export DISPLAY=0:0 then gedit & or whatever is that what you mean? | 06:16 |
Zasch | I'm trying to use Tracker to find some stuff. It will find old files, but not new ones. Why is this? | 06:16 |
andi5 | [ot] let us spread fud about redhat... | 06:16 |
RioMerc | Hmm | 06:16 |
tsukasa | andi5, any idea whats wrong? | 06:16 |
legend2440 | tsukasa: when i type sudo apt <TAB> i have to hit tab twice before it works | 06:16 |
bazhang | Saraphim: any reason you cannot just ask them to start it? do they know you can ssh into their boxes? | 06:16 |
tsukasa | legend2440, i can button mash tab it wont autocomplete | 06:17 |
andi5 | tsukasa: i am not sure i understand what kind of autocompletion you mean... could you please elaborate? | 06:17 |
RioMerc | I don't suppose anyone has experience with a Dual Desktop setup? | 06:17 |
pike_ | RioMerc: i have exp poiting to this url :-) http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead | 06:17 |
bullgard4 | tritium: Please tell me please why Ubuntu is not concerned with 'Zone files' and 'PTR' and 'Resource records'. | 06:17 |
bazhang | bullgard4: please read /topic | 06:18 |
legend2440 | tsukasa: does it work if you type apt <TAB> without sudo? | 06:18 |
tsukasa | andi5, if im doing sudo cd /et<tab> it will complete to etc, but if i do sudo apt-get install firefo<tab> nothing happens. Same with commands, if im trying to autocomplete to 'compiz' and its preceded by sudo, sudo comp<tab> completes nothing | 06:18 |
tsukasa | legend2440, yes ti does | 06:18 |
andi5 | bullgard4: please install bind9 first | 06:18 |
tritium | bullgard4: you asked about "Red Hat's 'Zone Files'," which is why it was offtopic | 06:18 |
Zasch | As another question: Is there any way to encrypt things in Ubuntu? | 06:18 |
bazhang | Zasch: sure | 06:18 |
tritium | Zasch: sure, with gpg, for one | 06:18 |
andi5 | tsukasa: because the auto-completion code detects sudo as executable and not apt-get | 06:19 |
pike_ | Zasch: a few | 06:19 |
pike_ | !truecrypt | 06:19 |
ubotu | Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume | 06:19 |
pike_ | Zasch: thats whole disk encryption though | 06:19 |
tsukasa | andi5, how do i fix it though | 06:19 |
andi5 | tsukasa: you could work in a root shell with sudo -i | 06:19 |
Zasch | All I'd like to do is encrypt things like data on customers, that sort of thing | 06:20 |
tsukasa | andi5, yeah but in gutsy this worked. im running the heron beta right now | 06:20 |

Zasch | Are there such a thing as "free" and "unfree" image formats? | 06:24 |
bazhang | tsukasa: this is not the channel for it you have been told several times politely | 06:24 |
tsukasa | legend2440, yeah, i have the feeling this is just a switch or a whitelist somewhere though | 06:24 |

LainIwakura | travisat: Thanks. | 06:33 |
travisat | LainIwakura: in almost all cases writing should have no effect either, but since ntfs is proprietary and the methods are reverse engineered there is a small chance on writing you can mess it up | 06:34 |

bazhang | xb3rt: you might wait a couple of weeks when it will be in the Hardy repos | 06:55 |
cabrioleur | inflex, Scribus is a publishing tool (making newspapers, bulletins, etc), inkscape is a vector drawing software (like corel draw) | 06:56 |

Dr_willis | eric84, i woudl start with a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 07:52 |
Adpad | how do I get a drive to mount if it isn't responding after an unclean shutdown?? | 07:52 |

bazhang | Jeffmeister: I want to get that card; so will make sure it works for you ;] | 07:54 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, try to mount it manually. You will most likely see a message about a 'force option' OR you can reboot to windows and let windows check the disks, and proplery shut down. | 07:54 |
kindofabuzz | Jeffmeister: change quite splash to nosplash at boot options | 07:54 |
Adpad | cool | 07:54 |
zcat[1] | 8500GT here, no problems.. the 8800gt isn't supported in nvidia-glx-new iirc.. | 07:55 |

Dr_willis | Adpad, i keep my windows installs in a nice safe virtual hard drive file.. | 07:57 |
Jeffmeister | but it looks choppy | 07:57 |
Adpad | Jeffmeister: if it's getting stuck, I used safe graphics and it started working | 07:57 |
Jeffmeister | and then it starts beeping | 07:57 |
brianlight | Apad I have not used an existing windows installation in Virtualbox but I have installed clean from a CD | 07:57 |
Jeffmeister | and it goes black screen | 07:57 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, if you boot the actual install - it might get confused about being put in a totally new machine. and then get confused again whenya boot it inside virtualbox.. | 07:57 |
Jeffmeister | safe graphics didnt work either | 07:57 |
Jeffmeister | alternate cd didnt work either | 07:58 |
Jeffmeister | neither did minimal cd that downloads for you | 07:58 |
Adpad | Dr_willis: good idea, but I'm just concerned to move it all across! | 07:58 |
Jeffmeister | and you choose installs | 07:58 |
Lapinux | Jeffmeister: my problem was just the screen went blank during boot but would come back once at the login screen | 07:58 |
Jeffmeister | what is all that i need just ubuntu desktop or what? | 07:58 |
Adpad | Dr_willis: i've managed to get it booted and everything, just with problems | 07:58 |
Jeffmeister | or do i need like MAIL servers | 07:58 |
Jeffmeister | and all that crap | 07:58 |
schwepps | how do i find out, from command line, what files a package installed? | 07:58 |
Adpad | Jeffmeister - what graphics card are you using? been reading about this the last 3 days | 07:58 |
kindofabuzz | Jeffmeister: i just skimmed through this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580020 alot of different solutions | 07:58 |
Jeffmeister | 8800GT | 07:58 |
Adpad | there is a lot about these things on teh forums as kindofabuzz suggested | 07:59 |
Jeffmeister | im gonna | 07:59 |
Jeffmeister | go back at it | 07:59 |
Jeffmeister | rofl | 07:59 |
Adpad | there are some special boot commands too | 07:59 |
kindofabuzz | try the nosplash first | 07:59 |
Jeffmeister | like i said | 07:59 |
Jeffmeister | nosplash | 07:59 |
Jeffmeister | causes me to do nothing | 07:59 |
kindofabuzz | oh, ok | 08:00 |
Jeffmeister | it stays with a cursor at the top | 08:00 |
Jeffmeister | just blinking | 08:00 |
Lapinux | Jeffmeister: i would try loading the cd again and watch your cd or hd for activity, and try just taking splash off the end | 08:00 |
Adpad | Dr_willis: i've managed to get it booted and everything, just with problems like: many random mouse clicks, insane slowness | 08:00 |
kindofabuzz | well a blinking cursor is better than a black screen ! =) | 08:00 |
Jeffmeister | no i mean | 08:00 |
Jeffmeister | it didnt even load the loading | 08:00 |
Rammy | That's quite optimistic. | 08:00 |
Adpad | Jeffmeister: have you checked the other screens: ALT + F1 - 8 | 08:00 |
Jeffmeister | brb | 08:00 |
kindofabuzz | i think you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 and actually see what's going on | 08:00 |
brianlight | Apad sounds like your not giving your virtual machine any memory | 08:01 |
Jeffmeister | gonna do some coding | 08:01 |
bazhang | this is the optimism channel Rammy | 08:01 |
Rammy | ;) | 08:01 |
Jeffmeister | try to get this bitch installed | 08:01 |
Adpad | brianlight: - tried giving it almost up to 2 GB :( | 08:01 |
brianlight | Is this a Vista windows install? | 08:01 |
Adpad | XP :/ | 08:01 |
brianlight | Your best bet is a clean install from CD | 08:02 |
Adpad | yea.. A clean install has worked nicely | 08:02 |
Adpad | can you do a clean install on another HDD | 08:02 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, i would guess hardware driver confliuct and other issues... | 08:02 |
cookie | hello | 08:02 |
cookie | I have a problem with pidgin | 08:02 |
bazhang | always had bad luck with vbox; vmware-server did it fine though | 08:02 |
cookie | I can not recieve files | 08:02 |
Adpad | bazhang: thanks for your patience: finally, Dr_willis: good idea, but I'm just battling to | 08:03 |
Adpad | oops | 08:03 |
Adpad | http://paste.stgraber.org/1916 | 08:03 |
brianlight | Adpad I use virtual box mainly for windows Audio editing apps | 08:03 |
Adpad | better :) | 08:03 |
cookie | I can send but I can not recieve | 08:03 |
kindofabuzz | did jeffmeister leave? | 08:03 |
bazhang | Adpad: thanks checking now | 08:03 |
Adpad | thanks | 08:03 |
Adpad | bazhang: does VMWARE-SERVER have a seamless mode? | 08:03 |
kindofabuzz | did anyone suggest to him to make sure the actaull cd doesn't have defects? | 08:03 |
Lapinux | dont think so | 08:03 |
Adpad | kindofabuzz: he tried the minimal install as well | 08:03 |
Lapinux | and yes he left | 08:04 |
cookie | hello | 08:04 |
Adpad | I'm sure it's an NVIDIA issue again | 08:04 |
Adpad | I've been battling with the same thing over the last few days | 08:04 |
Lapinux | i think i had the same problems he did | 08:04 |
bazhang | Adpad: vertrefresh seems insanely high | 08:04 |
kindofabuzz | yeah | 08:04 |
cookie | can somebody help me? why can I not recieve files through yahoo with pidginn | 08:04 |
mix25 | Hello, someone can help with my 5.1 audio. I can't get to work right. Now only is working like 2.1. I'm a newbie in linux. Thanks. | 08:04 |
cookie | I can send but I can not recieve files | 08:04 |
Adpad | bazhang: Yep - it's the default configuration that I've gone back to in order to get _any_ kde working... if I do nvidia installs, it's corrected... | 08:04 |
Adpad | but doesn't work :/ | 08:04 |
Adpad | that's why it's the "vesa" driver | 08:05 |
thelonecabbage | I"m having problems with networkmanager | 08:05 |
brianlight | Adpad have you used ENVY | 08:05 |
bazhang | Adpad: what about doing the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the nvidia install? | 08:05 |
Adpad | should I try do the install or the xorg-config and get back to you with an updated pastebin ? | 08:05 |
thelonecabbage | my docs say that I should be able to right click it and get a VPN configuration option | 08:05 |
Adpad | brianlight: I tried Envy, yes :/ | 08:05 |
thelonecabbage | but it only shows "Enable Neworking" and "about" | 08:06 |
brianlight | Adpad do you have your kernel header files installed? | 08:06 |
moDumass | ubuntu firefox extremely slow | 08:06 |
Adpad | brianlight: how do I check that? | 08:06 |
Adpad | bazhang: so basically uninstall Envy, nvidia-xconfig, then do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? | 08:06 |
kindofabuzz | cookie: if you google it, looks like a known problem | 08:06 |
bazhang | moDumass: what about removing and reinstalling it? tried that yet? | 08:06 |
moDumass | bazhang indeed i have | 08:07 |
kindofabuzz | cookie: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=Z2M&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=pidgin+can+send+but+not+receive+files+yahoo&spell=1 | 08:07 |
moDumass | removed 2.0.1.2 and installed 3.0 | 08:07 |
brianlight | s | 08:07 |
bazhang | Adpad: uninstall the drivers and the envy and then try the dpkg command and choose a really low res | 08:08 |
Adpad | cool, brb ;D | 08:08 |
kindofabuzz | ooops that might not work, just google "pidgin can send but not recieve files yahoo | 08:08 |
bazhang | moDumass: you installed firefox from the repos? | 08:09 |
Jeffmeister | PCI: Failed to allocate mem error, what is that | 08:09 |
Jeffmeister | i get that when im trying to install ubuntu | 08:10 |
msx98 | is it possible to change system language after installing? | 08:10 |
Ibback | Hi all | 08:11 |
=== kindofabuzz is now known as kindofabuzz_ |
Adpad | bazhang: I'm using the 'nv' drivers, and I just get a blue screen of rubbish if I do an xinit -- :2 | 08:12 |
Adpad | (with new drivers) | 08:12 |
Adpad | erm | 08:12 |
brianlight | msx98 you could do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a | 08:12 |
Adpad | new settings for xorg | 08:12 |
Adpad | I don't want to lose this support window | 08:12 |
brianlight | but that asks you to reconfigure everything | 08:12 |
brianlight | I'm not sure what package holds the system language right of the back | 08:13 |
KalEl | 1) how can i find out who is connected to my computer through ssh? 2) how can i disconnect them? | 08:13 |
Ibback | Hi all. Is it possible to link an existing window xp account to vmware inside ubuntu? or do i need to setup a window xp inside vmware. Does any1 know? | 08:13 |
Dr_willis | KalEl, try the 'who' command, and kill the pid of their shell. | 08:13 |
juice_ | anyone know what i can use to share mice and keyboards across different platforms? | 08:14 |
Dr_willis | Ibback, You mean an existing XP install on a 'real' hard drive and run it inside vmware? | 08:14 |
KalEl | ok thanks! | 08:14 |
Ibback | Dr_willis: Yes | 08:14 |
artenius | KalEl: also look in /var/log/auth.log to see who's logging in | 08:15 |
Dr_willis | Ibback, i hear its doable.. and it can cause problems to the xp install. XP will basicially see that its been swaped to a new machine.. and reconfigure/reinstall drivers.. and it may trigger the activation.. THEN if you boot back to the HD.. it will do it all over again.. | 08:15 |
KalEl | artenius, ok great! thanks! | 08:16 |
bazhang | all_generic_ide might help adding that to boot parameters Jeffmeister | 08:16 |
bazhang | msx98 sure you change languages after installing; this is not vista ;] | 08:17 |
Adpad | bazhang: sorry, screen went crazy again, had to restart | 08:17 |
Adpad | This just isn't working for me :(( | 08:17 |
bazhang | Adpad: try the vesa again and ininstall the non-free drivers as well and envy | 08:18 |
bazhang | uninstall rather | 08:18 |
Adpad | ok, I've uninstalled Envy | 08:18 |
Adpad | what's the command for the non-free drivers? nvidia-xconfig ? | 08:19 |
Adpad | btw, the screen is working again under vesa driver now | 08:19 |
Ibback | Dr_willis: So, it is safer to just setup again inside vmware .right? BTW, i can fax from window xp itself but not in ubuntu, so can i still fax using xp virtual machine? I read from somewhere that xp virtual machines can only recorgnize devices that ubuntu only can | 08:19 |
bazhang | okay Adpad that is good, now go into the restricted drivers manager and choose the nvidia drivers | 08:19 |
Dr_willis | Ibback, best to reinstall inside vmware.. as for hardware. it depends on the hardware | 08:20 |
Adpad | bazhang: is there an equiv to the restricted drivers manager for KDE? | 08:20 |
Dr_willis | Ibback, there are fax tools for Ubuntu - but ive never used any | 08:20 |
Adpad | (I'm using KDE community edition) | 08:20 |
brianlight | adpad goto System----->Admin------->Hardware drivers and install the restricted divers ofr your Ubuntu installation | 08:20 |
bazhang | Adpad: well I am no longer on gutsy so things have changed; but yes there is | 08:20 |
todor | how to play mplayer movie with sub | 08:21 |
[[thufir]] | I'm getting: "Media change: please insert the disc labeled" when using apt-get to install a package. I don't have such a disc, is there some setting which can be changed? | 08:21 |
bazhang | todor right click on movie screen and choose subtitles does not work? | 08:21 |
Dr_willis | todor, when i use gmplayer, theres a menu item for 'show subtitles' | 08:21 |
Adpad | bazhang: I can't find the Hardware drivers :( would it be in the KDE control center? | 08:21 |
bazhang | thufir just go to software sources and disable cd as a source | 08:21 |
artenius | [[thufir]]: you need to remove the CD repo from your repo list | 08:22 |
Ibback | Dr_willis: Actually i had previously installed vmware and i try to fax out using window fax component but unfortunately it too did not detect my fax modem as like ubuntu. | 08:22 |
todor | thanks | 08:22 |
thelonecabbage | how come my networkmanager (applet) (when right-clicked) has no VPN options? | 08:22 |
artenius | [[thufir]]: if you're comfortable with the terminal, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # before the CD line | 08:22 |
spaceaviator | My gdmsetup cant find the theme files after I click add even when the file is right there! | 08:23 |
bazhang | Adpad: more likely in the system admin section; forgot the kde name for that | 08:23 |
senorpedro | hi folks | 08:23 |
moDumass | <bazhang> indeed i did install firefox from the repos | 08:23 |
[[thufir]] | artenius: yes, thanks, I was just looking at that as a solution. seems odd to be requested for a disc, tho. | 08:23 |
brianlight | Apad use Gome ;) | 08:23 |
senorpedro | what is the difference between updatedb and trackerd? aren't both programs doing pretty much the same? | 08:23 |
moDumass | <bazhang> im just wandering if my profile is all messed up | 08:23 |
brianlight | Gnome | 08:23 |
Ibback | Bye | 08:23 |
bazhang | moDumass: and you removed the previous settings? | 08:23 |
artenius | [[thufir]]: not if you installed from a disc though, right? | 08:24 |
artenius | ;) | 08:24 |
Adpad | SO my problems are probably related to KDE ? | 08:24 |
bazhang | moDumass: aye, delete it | 08:24 |
brianlight | No | 08:24 |
moDumass | <bazhang> i didnt remove prev settings only because i dont know how | 08:24 |
Slart | senorpedro: I think updatedb only searches filenames.. trackerd searches content of files.. and mail etc | 08:24 |
bazhang | Adpad: no way; kde is fine | 08:24 |
senorpedro | so what do i need updatedb for? because it runs every time i start my system | 08:24 |
brianlight | you just need to install your Nvidia restricted drivers for your brand of ubuntu | 08:25 |
todor | when I play movie with sub the sub is not read no font | 08:25 |
bazhang | Adpad: dont listen to the gnome users ;] I'm on KDE and it rocks | 08:25 |
moDumass | <bazhang> where? | 08:25 |
Adpad | cool :) | 08:25 |
brianlight | I was just stating my opinion about the gnome thing | 08:25 |
bazhang | brianlight: as was I ;] | 08:25 |
moDumass | <bazhang> like i uninstalled ff2.x and selected to install ff3.x, and now i have 3.x with all the same bookmarks and jaz as my 2.x | 08:26 |
Adpad | hehhe | 08:26 |
Adpad | brb, screen might crash again... | 08:26 |
[[thufir]] | artenius: thanks, that looks to have fixed it. but, I would hope that all packages get installed from the "internet" since those will be up to date. the disc might be old, missing, etc. | 08:26 |
bazhang | moDumass: check the proxy settings in firefox 3 | 08:26 |
moDumass | yeh im lookin into it as we speak | 08:27 |
artenius | [[thufir]]: yes, it won't look for a CD anymore, just internet repos | 08:27 |
moDumass | <bazhang> direct connection to the internet was selected | 08:27 |
spaceaviator | My gdmsetup cant find the theme files after I click add even when the file is right there! | 08:28 |
bazhang | moDumass: the only thing I can figure is the previous use of TOR; but since you removed it the speed should return to normal | 08:28 |
moDumass | <bazhang> what else could be slowing down www access through firefox and konqueror but not opera | 08:28 |
moDumass | <bazhang> yeh and tor would only slow stuff down when tor was on | 08:29 |
bazhang | spaceaviator: what about drag and drop the tar.gz file? | 08:29 |
spaceaviator | bazhang, that works | 08:29 |
spaceaviator | but the add button doesn't | 08:29 |
schwepps | how do i find out, from command line, what files a package installed? | 08:29 |
cambazz | hello. is there no better player then amarok or banshee? I just want to play internet radio | 08:29 |
spaceaviator | cambazz, streamtuner | 08:29 |
bazhang | schwepps: the dependencies you mean? or something else | 08:29 |
moDumass | cambaz, exaile | 08:29 |
spaceaviator | bazhang, any ideas? | 08:30 |
cambazz | hmm... let me try both | 08:30 |
spaceaviator | cambazz, streamtuner uses xmms | 08:30 |
bazhang | spaceaviator: um not really sure as I dont use gnome; but the drag and drop does work right? you can change themes successfully, correct? | 08:30 |
kindofabuzz_ | if i put a file in my NFS folder, is it actaully still on my computer or the server? | 08:30 |
Eythan | cambazz> audacious | 08:31 |
brianlight | Streamtuner uses what ever you tell it too | 08:31 |
kindofabuzz_ | if not, how can i "push" it? | 08:31 |
spaceaviator | bazhang, yeah but I need to upload a remaster so I need everything to work | 08:31 |
robokop | I have just installed ubuntu on my desktop pc, but now i'm not able to boot in windows anymore, i have set the correct menu entry in the /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it just hangs | 08:31 |
schwepps | bazhang: no, like, if I installed, say tcpdump via apt-get, where is the tcpdump binary? | 08:31 |
brianlight | you can choose your streaming audio player in Streamtuner | 08:31 |
bazhang | schwepps: the apt cache archives? | 08:32 |
Adpad | sorry, am back now | 08:32 |
robokop | schwepps: apt-file show tcpdump | 08:32 |
schwepps | robokop: thanks | 08:33 |
Adpad | Can someone please talk to me about the Restricted Drivers manager in KDE? | 08:33 |
Adpad | how do I get to it | 08:33 |
schwepps | bazhang: so apt-cache? | 08:33 |
bazhang | Adpad: it's there by default in gutsy; just need to search in the system admin menus for it | 08:33 |
quax | robokop: old problem: I suggest googling for having the grub-menu on a floppy-disk, then repair windows with the cd. Then you can fiddle it out without time-pressure | 08:33 |
Adpad | ok I'm in System Settings | 08:34 |
robokop | quax: no floppy drive in my system | 08:34 |
quax | is it VISTA, or XP? | 08:35 |
robokop | quax: XP | 08:35 |
dabbill | I was just watching gkrellm cpu monitor, and it seems that my computer will only use 1 core at a time. its like if 1 core is at 89%, the other core wont go above 11%. but usually it will just run 1 or the other core at 100%. | 08:35 |
brianlight | apad I would jsut do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new | 08:35 |
warrendae | hi | 08:36 |
warrendae | someone knows how to translate a gtk program in diff languages? (i'm programming a program) | 08:36 |
Dr_willis | dabbill, a lot of that depends on the apps running also. I see similer effect, and even under windows it seems i rarely max out both. | 08:36 |
brianlight | of use the ubuntu restricted drivers manager to install Nvidia drivers | 08:36 |
quax | XP is quite unfriendly and uncooperative with linux as regards boot and the mbr. I am not expert enough to talk you through. I suggest: rpeair the boot with windows cd for windows, and try repairing ubuntu thereafter... | 08:36 |
brianlight | or^ | 08:37 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, what version of windows you running? | 08:37 |
quax | (assuming xp is the OS you are working with until now) | 08:37 |
[[thufir]] | the rjb package fails to install, it seems hung on the JAVA_HOME env variable: http://www.pastebin.ca/955015 . any suggestions with regards to JAVA_HOME? I think I have it set correctly. | 08:37 |
Dr_willis | dabbill, Beasta err Vista:) | 08:37 |
robokop | quax: fixmbr works, but if i install grub afterwards it leaves me with linux only | 08:37 |
brianlight | Apad the Ubuntu packages you need installed are linux-restricted-modules nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common | 08:38 |
warrendae | someone knows how to translate a gtk program in diff languages? (i'm programming a program) | 08:38 |
Max_demon2 | hello | 08:39 |
Adpad | bazhang: I don't have the ADVANCED tab in my system settings for some reason, could that be why I can't find the restricted drivers icons? | 08:39 |
Max_demon2 | i need help | 08:39 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, thats weird, i always see my vista install maxing out both cores or balancing the load between the cores in vista. | 08:39 |
bazhang | Adpad: this is gutsy correct? | 08:39 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, like see them both running at 60%. | 08:39 |
Max_demon2 | i tried to install 8.04 via Wubi | 08:39 |
Max_demon2 | but when system restarts | 08:39 |
Max_demon2 | i see a wallpaper after loading | 08:40 |
bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please Max_demon2 | 08:40 |
Max_demon2 | and installation window | 08:40 |
ToddEDM | anyone here use vmware? | 08:40 |
Adpad | bazhang: Linux Mint (but it's based on 7.10 right?) | 08:40 |
bazhang | ToddEDM: aye | 08:40 |
UbunLin | Heh | 08:40 |
UbunLin | Hardy room is dead | 08:40 |
ToddEDM | i want to know if you can take files from the host , and get it to my windows guest | 08:41 |
bazhang | Adpad: argh..Mint? that is not supported here; no wonder you are having problems | 08:41 |
Adpad | oh :( sorry, I hadn't realised | 08:41 |
artenius | Adpad: Mint charges money for support | 08:41 |
Adpad | people recommended Mint to me as "the way to go" .. :( | 08:41 |
bazhang | Adpad: back up and install ubuntu (the original!) and then come back ;] | 08:41 |
bazhang | www.ubuntu.com Adpad ;] | 08:42 |
Adpad | ok ;) | 08:42 |
bazhang | or #linuxmint ;[ | 08:42 |
Adpad | pretty much no-one there | 08:43 |
ToddEDM | bazhang: can you get files from the host and put them onto the guest? | 08:43 |
Adpad | and you guys have been so helpful | 08:43 |
Adpad | bazhang: by changing to Ubuntu standard is there anything i'll be missing? | 08:43 |
Adpad | is it harder to use? | 08:43 |
brianlight | did I miss somthing Adpad your using mint? | 08:43 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, there are no settings or any thing in Ubuntu to check for dual core CPU's? | 08:43 |
J3KYLL | i need help setting up my monitor... i've tried researching everywhere!! i don't know how to fix this.. i have tried turning on the nvidia controller on my restricted drivers list and it says "...not enabled" i have an nvidia geforce6100 with a hpw2207 monitor with native resolution 1680x1050 ... please im getting frustraded and don't know what to do :( | 08:43 |
bazhang | ToddEDM: you mean the host and guest os in vmware? I was spacing out there sorry ;] | 08:44 |
tsukasa | hi guys, is there somewhere i can put a command that will be executed on system resume (from ram suspend) ? | 08:44 |
ToddEDM | bazhang: , lol yeah the os's | 08:44 |
bazhang | Adpad: yeah you'll be missing the total lack of support in Mint ;] | 08:44 |
Adpad | brianlight - yes :/ I thought Mint was based entirely on Ubuntu and therefore 1 and the same | 08:44 |
Adpad | lol bazhang ;) thanks for all your help | 08:44 |
bazhang | Adpad: and we never sleep here ;] | 08:44 |
Adpad | heheh | 08:44 |
Adpad | okay, I will be back in a couple of hours | 08:45 |
Adpad | pity, I got grub working and _everything_ ;) | 08:45 |
artenius | Adpad: ubuntu is based on debian, and no, you'll probably find it a lot easier than Mint, especially when it comes to support. | 08:45 |
bazhang | ToddEDM: sure you can do that; you mean shared folders like samba or just drag and drop? | 08:45 |
Adpad | artenius: thanks | 08:45 |
Dr_willis | dabbill, if the kernel fines them it will use them. IF you are using the 386 kernel - i belive it will NOT use them. you need the -generic kernel | 08:45 |
brianlight | Adpad go gnome dude ;) lulz | 08:46 |
Adpad | lol | 08:46 |
Dr_willis | dabbill, at least thats how the hardy release it working for me. (which i am beta testign right now) | 08:46 |

ToddEDM | its google earth pro | 08:46 |
bazhang | UbunLin: wrong channel ;] and that would be Dr_willis | 08:46 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, yea it sees the system as haveing 2 cores. | 08:46 |
Adpad | bazhang: so it's mint's fault damnit! | 08:46 |
UbunLin | bazhang: Yeah I've been asking for a bit in the other channel. No activity and so far no response on the forum. Quite annoying. | 08:47 |
brianlight | UbunLin I'm currently on Hardy? | 08:47 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, just tryin to make sure i am getting max performance out of my computer :) | 08:47 |
Dr_willis | dabbill, even when reencodeing videos.. i rarely seem to max out my 2 cpus. | 08:48 |
Dr_willis | dabbill, theres always other bottlenecks it seems. | 08:48 |
Adpad | bazhang: if I get the Desktop install of Ubuntu, will it come with KDE or Gnome? | 08:48 |
artenius | both | 08:48 |
dabbill | Dr_willis, yea, just wish i could get my video card to work correctly now, so that i can game on this PC. | 08:48 |
Adpad | kewl, so you choose? | 08:48 |
artenius | go with gnome ;) | 08:48 |
brianlight | Default is Gnome though | 08:48 |
Gpalco | Hallo, People! Ubuntu is great! I have a question (maybe a silly one - you tell me) I read about a Microsoft Word vulnerability the other day, which can be used by hackers orviruses. It said it effects "applications which can open, edit Word documents are effected". Does it include Ubuntu + OpenOffice too ??? | 08:49 |
bazhang | Adpad: the gnome is ubuntu; you seem to like kde so that would be kubuntu; there is also xfce which is xubuntu; you can change once you have installed though so no worries ;] | 08:49 |
artenius | Gpalco: windows viruses don't effect linux | 08:49 |
Adpad | ok excellent | 08:49 |
bazhang | Gpalco: no | 08:50 |

Adpad | I've battled for 3 days, didn't realise that it was Mint because I just assumed it was inherrantly Ubuntu! | 08:51 |
tsukasa | anyone? looking for a place to drop some commands to be executed on system resume from ram suspend | 08:51 |

J3KYLL | bazhang: i know what the xorg.conf is but whats pastebin? | 08:52 |

pedroc_ | where can i find info about 8.04 ubuntu server edition like php, mysql version? | 08:52 |
artenius | !pastebin | J3KYLL | 08:52 |
ubotu | J3KYLL: 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) | 08:52 |
brianlight | if your downloading a gusty image all you need to do is System---->Administration------>>Hardware Drivers | 08:52 |
=== peter__ is now known as intravenous |
Adpad | Dr_willis: so you recommend too that I go through the trouble to change to Ubuntu | 08:53 |
brianlight | that brings up the ubuntu restricted drivers manager | 08:53 |
bazhang | pedroc_: you can message the bot: /msg ubotu info php hardy and that will give you pm from the bot | 08:53 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, learn the linux fundamentals and it proberly wont matter.. :) of course the next release of ubuntu is due out soon. Upgrading to it from a mint install will be..iffy... | 08:53 |
Adpad | (because Mint is all installed but evidently giving me lots of trouble) | 08:54 |
bazhang | haha | 08:54 |
Adpad | yea | 08:54 |
bazhang | no direct upgrade from Mint to Hardy? | 08:54 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, wahat troubles? you may have identical problems with ubuntu. | 08:54 |
Adpad | Dr_willis: have been unable to get video drivers working for almost 3 days now! | 08:54 |
Dr_willis | bazhang, i never upgrade anyway.. but that might be pushing it a bit.. :) | 08:54 |
bazhang | Dr_willis: haha | 08:54 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, I imagine its depending on your card and video driver versions.. you may have identical issues with ubuntu | 08:55 |
Dr_willis | Adpad, you 'might' want to check out hardy if you are going to do a reinstall. | 08:55 |
J3KYLL | bazhang: i did apt-get install pastebinit and got this "Reading package lists... Done | 08:55 |
J3KYLL | Building dependency tree | 08:55 |
J3KYLL | Reading state information... Done | 08:55 |
J3KYLL | E: Couldn't find package pastebinit" | 08:55 |
kamil | I have a problem to configure printer behind print server in Ubuntu - it works with Windows client | 08:55 |
Adpad | but I can't get to the Restricted Drivers area in Mint | 08:55 |
