unop_ | untruehero, ask | 00:00 |
Flannel | arcticpenguin380: You shouldn't have too much trouble, could be a few programs that updated their configs | 00:00 |
Dannyboi | legend2440, that is no help at all I'm afraid " To get Compiz Fusion working you have to additionally install xserver-xgl. This will then allow you to boot into XGL and use the built in effects. I’m not sure yet if you need to write a custom startup XGL script or not. I don’t think so and will test this shortly." | 00:00 |
=== Spec is now known as x-spec-t |
untruehero | i tried installing SageTV... I was hoping I could give it a test run | 00:00 |
BagelMaster | There IS a codec that will play .m4a files, right? | 00:00 |
anaoum | digitalslave: tomcat - yes i have. why?? | 00:01 |
untruehero | But about halfway through it asked for an activation key, I don't have one so I just tried closing the install | 00:01 |
Itaku | e107 requires PHP to be installed or compiled with the MySQL extension to work correctly, please see the MySQL manual for more information. How do i fix that. I installed PHP5 but i get that when i try to install it. | 00:01 |
nith | BagelMaster: I'll check | 00:01 |
digitalslave | anaoum, under debian? | 00:01 |
Dannyboi | I dont even know what XGL means, im a n00b at this, i thought Ubuntu was for people like me who just WANT IT TO WORK WOTHOUT MESSING AROUND lol. | 00:01 |
unop_ | BagelMaster, install the mplayer or w32codecs and you have it | 00:01 |
untruehero | Now that's is screwing up anything else I try and install | 00:01 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, just install newest ati drivers or nvidia | 00:01 |
legend2440 | Dannyboi: so you have restricted driver enabled? | 00:01 |
anaoum | digitalslave: no lol | 00:01 |
BagelMaster | unup_ and nith, thanks | 00:01 |
anaoum | what is the problem with it? | 00:01 |
Dannyboi | how do I do that | 00:01 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, I presume you have ATI video card ? | 00:01 |

tanner | anyone know how to run a 32bit mplayer on 64bit ubuntu install? | 00:02 |

mad_max02 | Dannyboi, I'll paste you a link for ati drivers install | 00:02 |
Flannel | Itaku: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP will get you all set up | 00:02 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, here you go man http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Main_Page | 00:02 |
untruehero | so does anyone know how to quit an install when in the process through terminal? | 00:02 |
Dannyboi | I tried the ati thing...it gets as far as installing the driver..but it asks me to remove fglrx first ?? yet that doesnt seem to exist | 00:02 |
nith | BagelMaster: works for me | 00:02 |
RxDx | how can i active the unstable repository of gutsy? | 00:02 |
nith | BagelMaster: totem opened up, xmms wont though | 00:03 |
Itaku | Flannel: i dont want lamp i just want php5 working with mysql | 00:03 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, u have a nice giude on that site. If that dont work u can try Envy but make sure that guide work out :D | 00:03 |
anaoum | digitalslave: do you use the tomcat deb in the repos? or did u download it manually? | 00:03 |
unop_ | digitalslave, i find that hard to believe given java shouldn't really have to bother with the specifics of the system | 00:03 |
Dannyboi | ok | 00:03 |
Flannel | Itaku: That page explains how to get MySQL and php5 working, just skip through the apache bits | 00:03 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, you have to remove everything u installed :D | 00:03 |
digitalslave | in their repos and there are many like that its better to just build it yourself | 00:04 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, if nothing works try envy but I assure you that guide is good since I installed drivers like that when I had ati video card | 00:04 |

Dr_willis_ | looking to learn. vs looking to fail. :) | 00:08 |
Dannyboi | Lol Mad_max02 I dont have time to spent days on end configuring an OS to work properly......if some one put a price on Ubuntu id laugh my head off, i want user friendly and useable | 00:08 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, thats amazing.. I dont have time to spend days to congifigure an OS properly.. thats why i Stitched AWAY from windows.. to linux... | 00:09 |
rbil | Dannyboi: how much investment in time do you have into learning Windows? | 00:09 |
untruehero | Could someone please help me terminate an install | 00:09 |
* michalski applauds dr_willis | 00:09 |
Dr_willis_ | You dont want to get me started on the days ive spend troubleshooting windows.. | 00:09 |
michalski | untruehero: ctrl+c | 00:09 |
digitalslave | Dannyboi, windows runs like crap until you configure it no? | 00:09 |
untruehero | it doesn't work | 00:09 |
untruehero | i tried that | 00:10 |
michalski | untruehero: is this in a terminal or in X? | 00:10 |
rbil | digitalslave: and even after configuring it continues to run like crap :-) | 00:10 |
Dannyboi | :P well put it this way.... Vista...drivers for my ati card install automatically..no fuss, end of.... Ubunti...come to an irc forum...try 3 or 4 different ways....find out other people cant get 1280x800..probably end up back at square one... | 00:10 |
Dr_willis_ | a normal windows install takes me about 2-3 hrs to find/download/update the drivers and tools.. | 00:10 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, windows is not using the latest ati drivers - would be my guess.. and blame ATI for lousy linux support. not the othe way around. | 00:10 |
digitalslave | rbil, hahaha you everyone should go to unix and command line and be happy - would probably force more outside heh | 00:10 |
Dannyboi | windows does use the latest ati drivers....it updates regularly | 00:11 |
Dr_willis_ | 'but ati has promized better support' | 00:11 |
untruehero | michalski - nevermind that did work, i wasn't in the install when i tried that last time | 00:11 |
untruehero | my bad, thanks for the help | 00:11 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, it hasnt from what ive seen.. but theres the latest stable.. and the latest cutting edge I guess. Depends on what you want. | 00:11 |
michalski | untruehero: np | 00:11 |
digitalslave | Dannyboi, updates haha all systems do that and its not our fault ati is a crappy company?! | 00:11 |
Dr_willis_ | I am now nvidia on 7/8 of my machines. | 00:11 |
untruehero | michalski - no wait it's back again :-) | 00:11 |
Dannyboi | Lol....Dr_Willis...tell me why 1280x800 isnt a default option on resolution selection..even though that is my native resolution | 00:11 |
untruehero | michalski - sagetv is asking for an activation key, that's the problem | 00:12 |
dabbill | Any one able to help with http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60888/ ? | 00:12 |
untruehero | michalski - I don't want to activate it, I did crtl-c that worked then I went to add/remove app | 00:12 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, all my ubuntu machines get my res right. ive seen windows do similer dumb things as well. ive noticed that using a DVI conector helps. | 00:12 |
rbil | Dannyboi: I don't use ATI, but maybe you can try just changing xorg.conf to use "ati" as driver, that's the open source one that comes with Ubuntu. Then after you're on the desktop, switch over to the proprietary driver | 00:12 |
michalski | untruehero: haha you are mind bending --- uhm honestly I dont have a clue what(/who) sagetv is | 00:12 |
digitalslave | Dannyboi, because youve not detected and configured your drive properly | 00:12 |
unop_ | Dannyboi, i find it hard to believe you can't get that resolution even with restricted drivers -- there has to be something you've overlooked | 00:12 |
Dr_willis_ | we can spend all day making excuses or ranting... which leads no where. | 00:12 |
untruehero | michalski - it's a streaming media server program. | 00:13 |
Dannyboi | I have literally spent months trying to make this work | 00:13 |
Dannyboi | and it won | 00:13 |
Dr_willis_ | its possible its his monitor thats being detected/seen/confgiured as only handling the lower red. | 00:13 |
mad_max02 | Dannyboi, I told you dude. just install vista and forget about it. | 00:13 |
digitalslave | exactly | 00:13 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, about the only thing ive ever had to do to tweak the res was enter the proper mode in the xorg.conf | 00:13 |
Dannyboi | Dr_Willis im using a laptop | 00:13 |
michalski | untruehero: are you supposed to register/activate? (theres a legal factor here :) ) | 00:13 |
tanner | anyone know how to run a 32bit mplayer on 64bit ubuntu install? | 00:13 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, so am i. and ive done it befor on other disrtos for my widescreen laptops | 00:14 |
untruehero | michalski - I know, that's why I don't want to install it | 00:14 |
Dr_willis_ | laptop dosent matter.. | 00:14 |
mad_max02 | tanner, why would you do that ??? | 00:14 |
michalski | tanner: should be transparent operation | 00:14 |
digitalslave | tanner, 64 bit why man why?? | 00:14 |
untruehero | michalski - I thought I could use it as a trial from their site, but I can't just kill in the install | 00:14 |
tanner | mad_max02: because 64bit doesnt support the use of 32bit codecs (which are required for some of the files i want to watch) | 00:14 |
digitalslave | tanner, we know this but why use 64 to begin with? | 00:15 |
mad_max02 | tanner, thats not true. I watch everything with no problems. its just a matter of how u installed it | 00:15 |
unop | tanner, you can always install 32bit apps and codecs in a 64 bit environment courtesy of a !chroot | 00:15 |
Dannyboi | Well im DLin the latest version of ubuntu, once ive burned it I will try to install it (for some reason i find only rhe 6.x.x LTS version installs, the newer ones fail instantly with the Xthing (xserver?) failing before it even loads the live CD | 00:15 |
mad_max02 | digitalslave, why not ?? I started with 64bit and never got to install 32bit coz everything works | 00:15 |
tanner | mad_max02: no, read mplayer documentation or hell, confirm in #mplayer, cannot use 32bit codecs on 64bit system | 00:15 |
tanner | unop, can you elaborate? | 00:16 |
digitalslave | mad_max02, unless you a video editing or something of the like 64 bit isnt really worth it | 00:16 |
poseidon | Is there some sort of object dock for ubuntu, like the one for mac? | 00:16 |
dabbill | I run 64bit cause i wanna use my 4 gigs of ram :) | 00:16 |
unop | !chroot | tanner | 00:16 |
ubotu | tanner: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box | 00:16 |
michalski | untruehero: you are a living breathing human being you can do what ever the hell you want :) you can hit ctrl+alt+f1 , login as root and type telinit1, thenonce its done with everything hit ctrl+d and it will bring you back to the logon screen | 00:16 |
dabbill | nothing wrong with 64bit installs, | 00:16 |
tanner | digitalslave because i would love to make full use of my hardware. | 00:16 |
RavenTrigun | I have a question about dual booting. | 00:16 |
Dr_willis_ | Dannyboi, try 'sidux' if you want - it has tools to update to the latest ati drivers. that may help out with the ati issues. | 00:16 |
digitalslave | dabbill, hahaha ok ok | 00:16 |
mad_max02 | tanner, dont do that. there is a nice link for installing mplayer that plays everything | 00:16 |

grant_ | digital slave: it isn't the usb port that is messed up, it won't mount a flash drive, or an ipod either (using any of the usb ports) | 00:17 |
mad_max02 | tanner, this is how I installed and I watch everything with no problems | 00:17 |
mad_max02 | RavenTrigun, what games would you like to play ?? | 00:17 |
michalski | untruehero: btw this will log you out..... | 00:18 |

Zanth | hello, is it possible to run compiz without xgl? | 00:22 |

spiniker | ok.. | 00:22 |
tanner | mad_max02: yes, ive seen it before, however, that is a direct output of the configure script from mplayer svn | 00:22 |

untruehero | michalski - yea this is like the install from hell | 00:29 |
kids_ | alguien habla español? | 00:29 |
unop | Cackette-Laptop, hmm, not really sure -- try reinstalling the w32codecs and totem-mozilla packages | 00:29 |
Cackette-Laptop | ok | 00:29 |
tanner | mad_max02: the next time you want to go ranting about how ignorant everyone else is perhaps you should know what you speak of first. | 00:29 |
grant_ | Dr_willis_, how do I add pstab entries for the drivers (or where do I look to learn more)? | 00:29 |
unop | spiniker, errm, usually you untar the contents into the /opt/firefox directory -- and launch firefox via the /opt/firefox/firefox command | 00:30 |
Dr_willis_ | !fstab | grant_ | 00:30 |
ubotu | grant_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 00:30 |
stefg | grant_: these are the mechanisms responsible for recognising and mounting the stuff in /media. What ubuntu version is that? | 00:30 |

Cackette-Laptop | ok, i'll try | 00:33 |

stefg | grant_: hmm.... instead of running through a full trouble shooting procedure (i.e. pastebin listings of dmesg, sudo fdisk -l and possibly /etc/fstab) it would be easier to boot up a Live CD and see if the problem is the same there. | 00:34 |

Adys | swaj: Mostly because I am used to php so much, if i could i'd only use python but its hard to switch | 01:13 |
HardyOne | ubotu tell gnr about bug 200338 | 01:13 |
Genius314 | My gnome panel only lets me click on the first button column, and the first pixel of the second column... I don't know how to fix this... | 01:13 |
swaj | Adys, is there a mod_python or something for apache? How would you be able to serve up pages using python? Are you using django or something? | 01:13 |
HardyOne | ubotu, test | 01:13 |
ubotu | Failed. | 01:13 |
HardyOne | good | 01:13 |
HardyOne | bug 200338 | 01:14 |
HardyOne | errr | 01:14 |

Jatz | thanks lots everyone. | 01:15 |
Gnea | !ask | worzel | 01:15 |
ubotu | worzel: 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. :-) | 01:15 |
swaj | hmm | 01:15 |
worzel | ok soory | 01:15 |
swaj | is Python strongly-typed? that's one thing that drives me nuts about PHP >< | 01:15 |
Adys | swaj: Yes | 01:16 |
Emilian | no | 01:16 |
Adys | strongly, dynamically | 01:16 |
worzel | i m trying to install ubuntu on a pc and i get this | 01:16 |
worzel | ACPI: BIOS age (2000) fails cut off (2001), acpi=force is required to | 01:16 |
worzel | > enable ACPI.. | 01:16 |
orudie | how would i make a user an owner of a directory ? | 01:16 |
Gnea | !paste | worzel | 01:16 |
ubotu | worzel: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 01:16 |
Odd-rationale | orudie: use chown | 01:16 |
hijynx | are there any good alternatives to xchat, I noticed that most distros come with xchat.... | 01:17 |
Adys | orudie: commandline "man chown", gui right click on it, go to owner | 01:17 |
Gnea | worzel: so what's the problem? | 01:17 |
orudie | adys: i have no gui | 01:17 |
Adys | hijynx: depends what you're looking for; customization, good gui..? | 01:17 |
Adys | orudie: man chown will help you :) | 01:17 |
Adys | or man chmod | 01:17 |
* Adys doesnt remember | 01:17 |
Gnea | it's chown :) | 01:18 |
kindofabuzz_ | i still can't find out if i put a file in a NFS folder on the client machine is it "pused" to the server? and if file on server just "links" to the client share | 01:18 |
Monkey_arma | hijynx, i am also looking into alternatives to xchat ..i have heard quite a few people use pidgin but dont know if it is any good | 01:18 |
hijynx | Adys: more customization than gui.... I was looking at KVirc but it seems to be all bells and whistles. | 01:18 |
Adys | irssi | 01:18 |
worzel | i cant seem to install ubuntu i need to acpi=force | 01:18 |
Adys | its commandline, but the most customizable of them all | 01:18 |

Rando | I'm attempting to install Ubuntu 7.10 to a USB flashdrive by using the directions located on pendrivelinux.com and am running into an error when I go to boot off the stick (kernel not found). I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to help me troubleshoot this? | 01:19 |
* Adys is slow today, Gnea :P | 01:19 |
rbil | kindofabuzz_: do you mean a mount on the client to the nfs share on the server side? | 01:19 |
Adys | Monkey_arma: again, what do you need, good gui, customization..? | 01:19 |
hijynx | Monkey_arma: I'm using pidgin for aim/googletalk right now, it's pretty good. | 01:19 |
kindofabuzz_ | rbil: yes | 01:19 |
Genius314 | I have a problem with the gnome panel window list, where I can only click on the first column of buttons and the first pixel of the second column... everything other window button doesn't work. Anyone know what could possibly cause this? | 01:19 |
Gnea | worzel: at the boot: prompt, when you have the first menu when booting the ubuntu cd, you can add it there - i think it goes like this... boot: install acpi=force | 01:19 |
Monkey_arma | well the advantage of pidgin i have heard is that it does multiple protocols | 01:19 |
rbil | kindofabuzz_: on the client side it's just a mount point, so anything put in there is actually going to go to the share on the server side | 01:20 |
Adys | pidgin is a general IM client, but in general those are not really nice with irc | 01:20 |
Monkey_arma | the main problem i have with xchat is that the input box is small | 01:20 |
kindofabuzz_ | let's say i put a file in my share which is the mount from the server. is that file still on my machine or "pused" to the server and just linked to my share? | 01:20 |
kindofabuzz_ | oh ok | 01:20 |
Gnea | Monkey_arma: have you taken a look at some xchat scripts to see if any of them expand it? | 01:20 |
thisdyu | hey guys anyone have ne comments about changing from anth5k to madwifi-ng drivers? | 01:21 |
kindofabuzz_ | what about just the opposite? a file created in the share on server? is it just a "link" on the client? | 01:21 |
ALPSINC | hi all, how can i run something as root automaticly, upon every startup | 01:21 |
Adys | ALPSINC: you're aware thats a huge security flaw | 01:21 |
worzel | Gnea: not shore what ya mean not all that good with this | 01:22 |
Monkey_arma | Gnea, no i have not ....really though that should not need a script...the designers of xchat should allow altering size of input box..i think its crazy | 01:22 |
ALPSINC | Adys: yes, it's an internal server | 01:22 |

KyleS-home | hello~ | 01:23 |
orudie | after doing chmod u=rw,go= /home/orudie it restricts me for accessing this directory, which is my home directory | 01:23 |
BIOSboiler | What is the command at the bash promp to figure out what my WAN ip is? anyone please help | 01:23 |
KyleS-home | BIOSboiler, ifconfig | 01:23 |
Adys | ALPSINC: cant find it right now, think its on my other comps bookmarks but try googling for installing su and enabling root on ubuntu | 01:23 |
bod_ | ifconfig? | 01:23 |
rbil | BIOSboiler: ifconfig should tell u | 01:23 |
ALPSINC | Adys: ok | 01:24 |
Adys | ALPSINC: then you'll be able to login as root and enable automatic logging | 01:24 |

nigro | hi.. | 01:25 |
Adys | ALPSINC: but again, its a huge security flaw, even as an internal server id recommend just removing root password and enabling auto sudo bash on login | 01:25 |
Gnea | Name141: how long as it been hanging? | 01:25 |
KyleS-home | don't need that Adylas | 01:25 |
Name141 | About 2 mins now Gnea | 01:25 |
KyleS-home | er...adys** | 01:25 |
ALPSINC | Adys: ok... | 01:25 |
KyleS-home | just do a sudo su - | 01:25 |
KyleS-home | then you don't need to enable the root account | 01:25 |

worzel | Gnea: still the same | 01:26 |
KyleS-home | /etc/rc.local? | 01:26 |
rbil | Capsid: isn't the intel card supported? | 01:26 |
rbil | Capsid: I thought they all were by now | 01:26 |
nigro | any idea? | 01:26 |
ALPSINC | KyleS-home: would that work for say... a perl script that is ment to hang? | 01:26 |
Adys | rbil: yeah intel wireless cards is supported | 01:26 |
KyleS-home | hmmm. | 01:26 |
Name141 | Gnea: should I wait longer or axe it? | 01:26 |
BIOSboiler | ifconfig only tells me my local ipo, i neeed WAN ip | 01:26 |
Capsid | it is but it runs extremely slow for some reason | 01:26 |
BIOSboiler | ifconfig only tells me my local ipo, i neeed WAN ip, isn't there a command | 01:27 |
Gnea | Name141: try booting the cd with the usb device disconnected - once the desktop is up, connect it and check the status of dmesg | 01:27 |
nigro | I must try with ndiswrapper? | 01:27 |
jimmygoon | Anyone got any suggestions of a decent slideshow app for ubuntu that will let me set pictures to music (and MAYBE export it to an avi/dvd) | 01:27 |
Adys | Capsid: extremely slow in comparison to before/another OS? | 01:27 |
Adys | or "just extremely slow"? | 01:27 |
rbil | BIOSboiler: do u use a hardware router? should be recorded there or you can use an utility I run on my websever to find it out: http://w-3productions.com/myaddress.mv | 01:27 |

Keidale | Does anyone know anyone who can fix this E: ERROR: could not create configuration directory /home/root/.synaptic - mkdir (2 No such file or directory) | 01:28 |
KyleS-home | BIOSboiler, ifconfig will tell you the ips of all your active connections | 01:28 |
Gnea | Keidale: root's homedir is /root, not /home/root | 01:28 |
Adys | Keidale: when does that happen? | 01:29 |
Keidale | that is what the update manager tells me when I try to get new downloads | 01:29 |
Adys | uhm | 01:29 |
ALPSINC | brb | 01:29 |
Adys | this might be ugly but can you do sudo nautilus, and create a link in /home/root to /root ? | 01:29 |
khushil | #networking | 01:29 |
Genius314 | The window list in my gnome panel only lets me click on the first column of buttons, and the first pixel of the second column. The rest of the buttons don't let me click them. Any idea what causes this? | 01:29 |
Adys | (its not normal it asks for /home/root in the first place but...) | 01:29 |
mindheavy | a desktop running 7.10, with usb wireless adapter, im needing to share its internet connection thru the ethernet port to another computer with a crossover cable, could anyone assist or point to a guide? im not finding much | 01:30 |
Capsid | Adys: When I had Ubuntu 7.10 the wireless card would routinely drop and runs @ 512K. Under Windows Vista home edition it runs fine @ 5mb. Now I'm running 8.10 and the card no longer drops but it still runs @ 512K. | 01:30 |
gauze_ | I'm trying to do "apt-get install libc6-dev" but it'd prompting me for the cd which I do not have here, how can I force it to go to the net? | 01:30 |
Keidale | Is there somewhere that I can go to and change the path to download where it's supposed to go | 01:30 |
Adys | Capsid: Tried #ubuntu+1 ? | 01:30 |
Adys | gauze_: go to synaptic | 01:31 |
[T]an3 | i am looking everywhere for a fix to my numlock being stuck on when i am undocked from the docking station... everything i have found does not work. any ideas? | 01:31 |
Odd-rationale | gauze_: edit you /etc/apt/sources.lst and comment out the cd | 01:31 |
mindheavy | gauze_: you need to comment out the line for the cd in /etc/apt/sources.list | 01:31 |
Gnea | gauze_: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the lines for the cdrom | 01:31 |
mindheavy | hah | 01:31 |
Gnea | :) | 01:31 |
gauze_ | ((((echo)))) | 01:31 |
gauze_ | thanks | 01:31 |
Capsid | Adys: nope, I will go check it out, thank you | 01:31 |
Adys | gauze_: repositories, and remove the cd ones | 01:31 |
Adys | thats the gui way :) | 01:31 |

DocMangler | i was wondering if anybody here has had problems with pdnsd failing after a few minutes or so | 01:33 |
bod_ | guys i have a question,. most apps have ctrl+c & ctrl+v for copy and paste, why does the terminal use ctrl+shift+c/v ? | 01:33 |
Dr_willis_ | bod_, because MS decided to go against the standard years ago. | 01:33 |
Hansel | right-click... | 01:34 |
Gnea | bod_: because ctrl-c is ^C or ^break | 01:34 |
kindofabuzz_ | anyone got a quick fix so my dynDNS address does go straight to my router config?? i can't seem to find an answer | 01:34 |
kei-clone | it's the same in DOS actually | 01:34 |
kindofabuzz_ | not very secure | 01:34 |
bod_ | Gnea, so in human terms what does ctrl+c achieve in terminal? | 01:34 |
Gnea | bod_: but why bother with that when you can just select the text with the left click, then middle click to paste? | 01:34 |
Slickness | hello,i'm running 7.10 and having video problems. with certain vids im getting a green bar at the top,and the colors are messed up,happens both in VLC player and in Totem move player | 01:34 |
Adys | bod_: it interrupts an operation | 01:34 |
Adys | ctrl close | 01:35 |
bod_ | Gnea, because it means moving my hand ALL THE WAY to the mouse | 01:35 |
DocMangler | lol yeah | 01:35 |
kei-clone | i'm having trouble with my music players | 01:35 |
Adys | bod_: alt shift insert :) | 01:35 |
Dr_willis_ | bod_, time to check out some shell tutorials and guides. :) Ctrl-c kills the running app normally. | 01:35 |
Gnea | bod_: yes, but it takes less effort, overall :) | 01:35 |
Odd-rationale | bod_: shift+insert | 01:35 |
Dr_willis_ | bod_, in the console, you can install gpm and use the mouse to cut/paste also. | 01:35 |
kei-clone | was playing music on exaile for a little while, and after a while it stops playing music, and moving to audacious does the same thing | 01:35 |
Gnea | since you still need to use the mouse to highlight what you want to copy/paste as it is ;) | 01:35 |
kei-clone | anyone help me with that? | 01:35 |
bod_ | Dr_willis, yeah,. i just tried,. starts a new line aswell,., | 01:36 |
bod_ | cheers guys | 01:36 |
DocMangler | no, no need for mouse at all in console | 01:36 |
bod_ | DocMangler, right on!! ;~) | 01:36 |
Rando | Does anyone in here have Ubuntu 7.10 booting off a USB pendrive? | 01:36 |
DocMangler | hey bod, have you tried out gnu screen yet? | 01:36 |
Dr_willis_ | DocMangler, it comes in handy. | 01:36 |
bod_ | DocMangler, no, what is it? | 01:36 |
Dr_willis_ | screen also comes in handy. Heh. | 01:36 |
gauze_ | screen id the shit | 01:36 |
Gnea | screen > * | 01:36 |
mindheavy | Rando: i've done it | 01:36 |
DocMangler | it's a terminal multiplexer | 01:36 |
gauze_ | s/id/is/ | 01:36 |
DocMangler | it's awesome | 01:37 |
DocMangler | like console windows | 01:37 |
DocMangler | :P | 01:37 |
Dr_willis_ | I have had some issues in the past with screen and mc combined. | 01:37 |
Odd-rationale | Rando: Consider useing a distro that is meant for doing that. Like DSL or puppylinux | 01:37 |
DocMangler | i have no trouble with mc and screen now | 01:37 |
Dr_willis_ | 'twin' in the console is an interesting tool also. | 01:37 |
bod_ | !language | gauze_ | 01:37 |
ubotu | gauze_: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 01:37 |
DocMangler | actually, if you nest 2x screens | 01:37 |
Gnea | Dr_willis_: screen and iptraf... phew! | 01:37 |
DocMangler | i can't get mouse to work at all | 01:37 |
deadlock | All of a sudden, my mic sounds like a robot...what the hell could i have done.. | 01:37 |
deadlock | >.< | 01:37 |
Rando | kk, i'll give DSL a try | 01:37 |
Dr_willis_ | DocMangler, it seems to be some font issues. I see it with some disrtos and not others. I had to tweak putty for mc also. | 01:37 |
DocMangler | yeah i think so too | 01:37 |
Adys | deadlock: plugs? | 01:38 |
Odd-rationale | Rando: I like puppy better... | 01:38 |
DocMangler | i actually set up my mc ini all customized | 01:38 |
DocMangler | now it's very perdy, and no probs | 01:38 |
drewby | Hello yes, so when I would try to watch movies with mplayer sometimes after the movie had closed or if I had opened up a flash document simultaneously my sound would stop working. When I restarted, sound would resume working and I wouldn't worry about it any further. Today, I stupidly went to try and fix it without researching the issue at all and did a sudo /etc/apt/init.d/alsa-utils start and no my sound no longer works even afte | 01:38 |
deadlock | Adys: I dont think so. I can try again | 01:38 |
DocMangler | lol, console in kde all beautiful and transparent | 01:38 |
DocMangler | my dad wants to puke | 01:38 |
Gnea | get him a bucket | 01:38 |
DocMangler | aye | 01:38 |
DocMangler | he's clickin like a madman with the mouse to no avail | 01:39 |
Adys | !sound | drewby | 01:39 |
ubotu | drewby: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 01:39 |
Gnea | trying to click THROUGH the terminal? | 01:39 |
DocMangler | hahahah | 01:39 |
DocMangler | maybe | 01:39 |
DocMangler | im not sure | 01:40 |
Gnea | lol | 01:40 |
Jon855 | I have a wireless connection which I would like to share with my desktop through another ethernet connector I have, how do i do this? | 01:40 |
DocMangler | i just know i wanna connect 13k volts to the mouse so when he touches it he gets zapped on every klikkity | 01:40 |
Adys | Jon855: I cant really help, but try googling around on how to setup a wireless router with linux | 01:40 |
DocMangler | ahh back to screen, if you haven't used it, it can get kinda frustrating at first | 01:40 |
Jon855 | No. | 01:41 |
drewby | awww, adys, alsa is selected, guess I'll have to go check out those lins | 01:41 |
drewby | links* | 01:41 |
Jon855 | I meant, i want my laptop to act as the provider for my desktop | 01:41 |
Adys | Jon855: yep, its the same process | 01:41 |
Gnea | Jon855: you could set your desktop up as a router and NAT the connection | 01:41 |
DocMangler | the best bet on that, when you figure out how to get your 2nd one open, run the split command, and put man screen on top, and something like mc on bottom | 01:41 |
manicnerd | my friends computer got all messed up and she wants me to reinstall gutsy....she does not have an internet connection.....is using just the install cd good enough? with no internet i dont think things like the nonfree-flash-plugin or anything need installed... | 01:41 |
Jon855 | Gnea, how would I do this? | 01:41 |
kindofabuzz_ | will someone go here? kindofabuzz.homelinux.net what do you see? | 01:41 |
kindofabuzz_ | not a trick or anything i promise | 01:41 |
Adys | kindofabuzz_: timeout | 01:42 |
Gnea | !iptables | Jon855 | 01:42 |
ubotu | Jon855: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 01:42 |
manicnerd | kindofabuzz_: timeout | 01:42 |
kindofabuzz_ | ok then it's a loopback thing, i get my router config when i go to it from home | 01:42 |
wien | what is best way to dual boot windows and ubuntu, xp/windows installed first | 01:42 |
manicnerd | here too | 01:42 |
Gnea | Jon855: iptables provides NAT capability, and quite well at that | 01:42 |
DocMangler | aye timeout here too | 01:42 |
=== Bossmanbeta_ is now known as Bossmanbeta |
kindofabuzz_ | kk, thanks | 01:42 |
Adys | wien: Admittedly the easiest way is installing ubuntu8 with wubi, but its still beta | 01:43 |
DocMangler | wien, grub is your friend | 01:43 |
mintsoup | what's the default gnome window decorator? | 01:43 |
Odd-rationale | mintsoup: human | 01:43 |
Adys | mintsoup: compiz | 01:43 |
DocMangler | here's an awesome grub page, one moment | 01:43 |
wien | what is wubi | 01:43 |
Gnea | wien: neither. kill windows, install ubuntu, install vmware, create a virtual disk and install xp in vmware - run them at the same time ;) | 01:43 |
bod_ | guys, on my top panel, on the left of the word 'Applications' there is a small gnome foot icon, how can i change this icon to one that i made? | 01:43 |
Adys | !wubi | wien | 01:43 |

Odd-rationale | mintsoup: sorry, metacity. human is the theme | 01:43 |
Adys | metacity is the window manager, compiz is the decorator | 01:44 |
DocMangler | http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm#How_to_add_Grub | 01:44 |
mintsoup | thanks | 01:44 |
DocMangler | that will help you get grub up and running to dual boot anything, triple boot etc.. | 01:44 |
manicnerd | my friend wants me to reinstall gutsy on her laptop (she has no internet connection).....is there anyway for me to also take the updates her laptop would require (old dell c600) | 01:45 |
jeffMASTERflex | Adys: actually, compiz is the window manager. | 01:45 |
Odd-rationale | manicnerd: yes. aptoncd is one way. | 01:45 |
tash | Please remind me what is name of Compiz plugin that shows all open windows on screen and allows me to choose one | 01:45 |

ubotu | manicnerd: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers | 01:46 |

manicnerd | Odd-rationale: so....i would install aptoncd on her laptop....run it (it will give me an ISO?) then burn that ISO....install gutsy....use that ISO to update? | 01:47 |
tash | manicnerd: thank you :) | 01:47 |
DocMangler | ok, so nobody here have pdnsd up and runnin? or had probs with it if you do or did? | 01:47 |
jeffMASTERflex | Adys: actually, as long as compiz is active, it IS the window manager. it might LOOK like metacity if it uses the gtk decorator | 01:47 |

ferric84 | I'm trying to update mysql-server-5.0 through update manager, which was released a few days ago, but during the install I get an error that says: E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.0_5.0.45-1ubuntu3.3_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 | 01:47 |

ferric84 | what does this mean? | 01:48 |
Adys | jeffMASTERflex: compiz-decorator is the decorator and metacity is the default windowmanager but i could be wrong | 01:48 |
crdlb | Adys: nope, metacity and compiz are both window managers | 01:48 |
jeffMASTERflex | Adys: you are. if compiz is active, it is handling window managing duties. that is what it does. it is a metacity replacement | 01:48 |
crdlb | metacity is the one that runs when you disable compositing effects | 01:48 |
Adys | Oh right ok | 01:49 |
Adys | ferric84: tried forcing uninstall reinstall on mysql-server ? | 01:49 |

mike__ | Any one use VirtualBox ? | 02:07 |
snake__ | hello. is there any way to install ubuntu from the iso in the hard disk because my cdrom is broken and i can not burn ubuntu in cd | 02:07 |
crazy_elf | mike_, I do | 02:07 |
ALPSINC | hi all, is it possiable to run things as root, automaticly, after a user has logged in, and under that user's account? (kinda like a promptless sudo) | 02:07 |
Stroganoff | GEIS i dont know any commands, i havnt used mldonkey before | 02:07 |
shachaf | ALPSINC: Why do you want that? | 02:07 |
leo_rockw | ALPSINC: you're describing root, apparently | 02:07 |
ALPSINC | and yes, i know of oall the security risks | 02:07 |
shachaf | ALPSINC: There's a point to having sudo. | 02:07 |
tanner | snake__: have a 1G flashdrive? | 02:07 |
leo_rockw | ALPSINC: why don't you just use root? | 02:08 |
shachaf | ALPSINC: Is there something specific you'd like to do? | 02:08 |
mike__ | i wanna know how i can brows a Network share i have Win Xp in virtualbox and C: mapped but ubuntu dont see it | 02:08 |
ALPSINC | holdon | 02:08 |
snake__ | tanner: i thought of it but i gave it to a friend of mine :S | 02:08 |
ALPSINC | shachaf: yes, i need to run a bot that chroots it's self | 02:08 |
snake__ | tanner: so i do not have one | 02:08 |
Scunizi | mike__, install avahi | 02:08 |
kindofabuzz_ | i know sudo gives you root rights, but is it the exact same thing as running on a root account? | 02:08 |
ALPSINC | leo_rockw: i need to use as 'user' userland not a 'root' userland | 02:08 |
andycr | How would I tell what wireless driver I'm currently using? I looked through the output of lsmod but couldn't spot which one it was without knowing what to look for. | 02:09 |
kindofabuzz_ | i see sites that tell you that you MUST be root | 02:09 |
mike__ | o | 02:09 |
mike__ | k | 02:09 |
ALPSINC | kindofabuzz_: sudo == onle line su | 02:09 |
Flannel | kindofabuzz_: They aren't written for Ubuntu, or otherwise don't know what they're talking about. | 02:09 |
ALPSINC | *one | 02:09 |
kindofabuzz_ | well this one site is wriiten for gutsy but a certain part tells you to create the root passwd because you must be root to install | 02:10 |
Scunizi | mike__, I have win2kpro in vmware server with mapped directories and I couldn't get samba to work right.. all the time.. with avahi I can "see" and access the win VM directories with Ubuntu but not vice-versa | 02:10 |
Flannel | ALPSINC: You can tweak the sudoers file to allow certain apps to run without prompts. What sorts of things are you looking to allow? | 02:10 |
Romster | tritium, thanks reinstalling coreutils did it | 02:10 |
kindofabuzz_ | so sudo is exactuly the same as logging into root? | 02:10 |
tritium | Romster: excellent | 02:10 |
leo_rockw | kindofabuzz_: sudo == super user do | 02:11 |
tritium | kindofabuzz_: not *exactly* | 02:11 |
kindofabuzz_ | so is it the same? | 02:11 |
ALPSINC | Flannel: one program: my bot that chroots it's self | 02:11 |
mike__ | dude im rly a toltal noob | 02:11 |
tritium | But the effects are similar. | 02:11 |
Flannel | kindofabuzz_: No, its different, but it accomplishes the same thing. | 02:11 |
kindofabuzz_ | ok then that's why they say you must be root then | 02:11 |
Flannel | ALPSINC: And it runs as your user? | 02:11 |
Romster | tritium, i use core linux myself, man that's a bit complex for a new linux user. there should be a man page or someting to tell them about that. | 02:11 |
crazy_elf | kindaofabuzz, su sudo would log you in as root though | 02:11 |
leo_rockw | kindofabuzz_: i'd say that whatever you do as root can be done with sudo, but they are deff not the same. | 02:11 |
crazy_elf | erm sudo su*** | 02:11 |
kindofabuzz_ | so configin sor installing something as sudo is NOT the exact same as doing it as root? | 02:11 |
ALPSINC | Flannel: it runs as nobody, but it has to chroot to be there | 02:12 |
Flannel | kindofabuzz_: No, thats not correct. Theysay "you must log in as root" because they don't understand (assumign written for Ubuntu) | 02:12 |
tritium | Romster: about what? coreutils should have been installed already. No idea why it wasn't. | 02:12 |
kindofabuzz_ | ok | 02:12 |
Flannel | ALPSINC: You could set it up as a daemon like everything else. Or tweak your sudoers I suppose | 02:12 |
Flannel | crazy_elf, kindofabuzz_, sudo -i, don't sudo su. | 02:12 |
jeffMASTERflex | kindofabuzz_: for all intents and purposes, using sudo is like being root. it's safer in that you don't have a persistent root login to screw things up | 02:12 |
ALPSINC | Flannel: ok... | 02:12 |
leo_rockw | and you can also limit sudoers, but not root, afaik | 02:13 |
crazy_elf | flannel, is that a safer method? | 02:13 |
Flannel | crazy_elf: yeah | 02:13 |
shachaf | ALPSINC: Why not just right run the command you want as root? | 02:13 |
Romster | the command to wipe the mbr so they can reinstall windows. | 02:13 |
Romster | isn't there a help page or something in ubunto to warn/inform them | 02:13 |
kindofabuzz_ | so basically sudo -i is so you don't have to keep typing sudo everytime for that session? | 02:13 |
shachaf | s/right // -- how did that get in there? | 02:13 |
Flannel | Romster: the windows install will install itself, you don't need to wipe anything beforehand | 02:13 |
orbisvicis | how can i change a user to system user, id < 1000 ? | 02:13 |
tritium | Romster: exactly what Flannel just said | 02:14 |
mike__ | <crazy_elf> do u know any thing about the shared folder feture in Virtual box ? | 02:14 |
=== icesword is now known as geible |
shachaf | kindofabuzz_: That'll be -s. | 02:14 |
* tritium thanks Flannel for saving him some typing | 02:14 |

kindofabuzz_ | i just make alieses, like my sudo apt-get install = sagi | 02:14 |
shachaf | Or -i, I guess. | 02:14 |
Romster | fdisk/format for this user kept freexing and using 'lock C: and fdisk /mbr' | 02:14 |
snake__ | anyone one here that can tell me how to install ubuntu from the iso that i just downloaded without having to burn it to cd because my cdrom is broken. i am using ubuntu right now so i am not sure if wubi will do for me | 02:14 |
shachaf | kindofabuzz_: -i is more thorough, like su -. | 02:14 |
Romster | anyways it's fixed. | 02:14 |
tritium | Romster: that sounds like a windows problem ;) | 02:15 |
shachaf | snake__: If you're using Ubuntu, why do you need the iso? | 02:15 |
Romster | tritium, yeah << | 02:15 |

Flannel | TheViLliN: Yes | 02:15 |

prince_jammys | orbisvicis: man usermod | 02:17 |
orbisvicis | shachaf, b/c i dont know if i can just change the number | 02:17 |
shachaf | orbisvicis: The number? | 02:17 |

mike__ | dose any one know any thing about the shared folder feture in Virtual box ? | 02:18 |
codechAos | magic | 02:18 |
shachaf | orbisvicis: Why do you want to do that? | 02:18 |
andycr | Jon855: The devices are named differently on occasion due to different drivers naming them differently | 02:18 |
Hansel | shachaf - he wants to change the UID or create a user with a lower UID than 1000... in Ubuntu its recommended to use wheel instead of doing this. He is kind of breaking with Ubuntu convention... | 02:18 |
andycr | Jon855: ath(x) is usually used my MadWifi drivers for atheros cards | 02:19 |
orbisvicis | shachaf, the user firebird to administer the database should have been created system but its so now it shows up all over the play in user apps | 02:19 |
orbisvicis | like gdm and fast user switch | 02:19 |

shachaf | orbisvicis: I'd just change it myself, but some GUI might be able to do it if you prefer. | 02:19 |
Jon855 | Okay. i'm just trying to get my internet to be shared over to my desktop | 02:19 |
shachaf | orbisvicis: Make sure you find all the files and chown them, though. | 02:19 |
Hansel | prince_jammys - I'm the type that doesn't hand hold... I point people in the direction of answers so they can learn :) | 02:20 |
orbisvicis | shachaf, yes, usermod does that for me | 02:20 |

Jon855 | Scunizi, I will try this, thanks | 02:29 |
Scunizi | Jon855, np I hope it works.. little things can be quite a dilema sometimes. | 02:30 |

Scunizi | prompt thingy | 02:31 |
Slickness | hello,could anyone telll me how i would download and install the open source ATI drivers? from the web? from the package manager? | 02:31 |
Scunizi | !ati | Slickness | 02:31 |
ubotu | Slickness: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 02:31 |
Prefix | Scunizi: really? what if i needed a sudo in a sh script? | 02:32 |
Flannel | Prefix: The user needs to sudo the script, or you prompt the user | 02:32 |
Scunizi | Prefix, that's a different issue.. I'm not sure how to do that.. | 02:33 |
BramCI | hi, I used to have an ubuntu on a small external hard drive but it just crash miserably and I have no windows CD to boot on my windows partition. There's no other solution than reinstall ubuntu on my "internal" hard drive ? | 02:33 |
TaRDy | does any1 know what I can do if a command for tcl works when i do "tcl" first but not in my expect script? | 02:33 |
BramCI | (sorry for my bad english) | 02:33 |
Prefix | !sudo | 02:33 |
ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 02:33 |
TaRDy | BramCI, why don't you try booting to a liveCD? | 02:33 |
neil_d | BramCI: does it have info you must have on it ? | 02:33 |
Jester45 | BramCI, your english is fine | 02:34 |
BramCI | TaRDy: I'm actualy on a live CD | 02:34 |

Joelito | Hi guys, Is there a software in ubuntu world that allows me to see what dependencies need a given linux binary? | 02:34 |

alan_m | Hansel, that was for WorkingOnWise correct? | 02:37 |
BramCI | I have important things on my windows partition | 02:37 |
Hansel | alan_m - yes... | 02:37 |

poseidon | When downloading programs for ubuntu, I should download the .tar.gz, correct. | 02:43 |
leo_rockw | poseidon: that's a maybe | 02:44 |
crazy_elf | poseidon, depends on if you want to compile it or you want it to just be installed from a package. deb is an automated package install | 02:44 |
prince_jammys | poseidon: tar.gz is a zipped archive that could contain any kind of file. you want to download a .deb file, or an archive that contains one. (this is of course if the package you want is not available in the repositories) | 02:44 |
poseidon | leo_rockw, how do I know what to download? | 02:44 |
neil_d | poseidon: check synaptic first to see if there is a ubunut package | 02:44 |
leo_rockw | poseidon: you probably want a deb | 02:45 |
leo_rockw | poseidon: do what neil_d said | 02:45 |
prince_jammys | poseidon: what program is it? | 02:45 |
poseidon | awn | 02:45 |
poseidon | http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/ | 02:45 |
prince_jammys | poseidon: that can be obtained through apt if you add a repository | 02:45 |
rathel | I'm connected to my ubuntu computer through SSH and using Putty on Windows, CenterIM looks weird and doesn't refresh I have to scroll the buddy list to see if anyone has signed on or off, how do I fix this? | 02:45 |
poseidon | Sorry if this seems trivial, but I just got linux today | 02:45 |
leo_rockw | poseidon: there has to be a deb for ubuntu around the internets | 02:45 |
Jon855 | differences between i686 and i386? | 02:46 |
leo_rockw | rathel: i may have a solution | 02:46 |
crazy_elf | rathel, have you tried pidgin? | 02:46 |
alan_m | poseidon, there are no stupid questions, just the ones that are left unanswered hehe | 02:46 |
prince_jammys | poseidon http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-avant-window-navgator-in-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon.html | 02:46 |
poseidon | Thanks guys | 02:46 |
neil_d | alan_m: there is a big difference between stupid and ignorant. | 02:47 |
leo_rockw | rathel: try these 2 commands: LANG=en_EN.ASCII and TERM=linux | 02:47 |
leo_rockw | rathel: that worked for me. i was using ssh from my nintendo DS | 02:47 |
rathel | leo_rockw: Okay I'll try that, thanks. | 02:47 |
alan_m | neil_d, true :) | 02:47 |
Jon855 | generally which is better kde or gnome? | 02:47 |
prince_jammys | hehe | 02:48 |
neil_d | oops poseidon : there is a big difference between stupid and ignorant. | 02:48 |
Pickles | gnome | 02:48 |
alan_m | Jon855, depending on what you like or are used to | 02:48 |
alan_m | its really user preference | 02:48 |
Jon855 | ok | 02:48 |
rathel | leo_rockw: That worked thanks. :) | 02:48 |
ryrys | BramCI, http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ could help maybe | 02:48 |
Scunizi | Jon855, you can actually have both on the sys at the same time and choose what you want at logon with sessions | 02:48 |
alan_m | kde to me is beautiful, but gnome is awesome as well.. | 02:48 |
leo_rockw | rathel: don't ask me what it does, i have no idea, haha. i only know it works | 02:49 |
alan_m | scunizi, yep | 02:49 |
prince_jammys | Jon855: yeah, get em both and then decide. (there's even more if you don't like those) | 02:49 |
BramCI | ryrys: thx I take a look | 02:49 |
alan_m | kde and gnome are just the most popular jon855 | 02:49 |
leo_rockw | Jon855: don't listen to these people, kde is the best (nah, i'm just trolling, try both) | 02:50 |
ryrys | BramCI, if not, u cant exange the devices | 02:50 |
prince_jammys | even though leo_rockw is right ;) | 02:50 |
alan_m | kde rocks, i do agree, but like i said :) | 02:50 |

memian | there wasn't windows. my host system was ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy). i installed an ftp server on my host. | 03:16 |
tritium | Eroick: many are written in python, and use gtk+ | 03:16 |
Xpistos | okay, what was the vm | 03:16 |
Eroick | tritium: do the devs use glade or some kind of builder? | 03:17 |
memian | Xpistos: Xubuntu 7.10 Live on virtualBox | 03:17 |
Xpistos | Oh | 03:17 |
Xpistos | I see | 03:17 |
Jester45 | many use glade | 03:17 |
BramCI | ryrys: don't remember exactly, something like 17 or 19. It appear frequently went I forgot to turn on my hd | 03:17 |
=== trollboy_ is now known as trollboy |
Jester45 | they have .glade files in some place | 03:17 |
memian | Xpistos: and if files are small consider gmail ;) | 03:17 |

yoandy | hi, is there any guide on installing icedtea-java firefox plugin on hardy? | 03:18 |
Xpistos | 700mb-1gb | 03:18 |
ryrys | BramCI, ah ok, well ur now with the livecd right? | 03:18 |
tritium | yoandy: hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 | 03:18 |
BramCI | ryrys: yes | 03:18 |
Xpistos | I can't get the dvd encoding software to work all that great | 03:18 |
Xpistos | Thanks for the suggestions Memian | 03:18 |
ryrys | BramCI, do this: sudo grub | 03:18 |
Xpistos | Much appreciated | 03:18 |
yoandy | ok, thanks tritium | 03:18 |
memian | Xpistos: oh wait | 03:18 |
Xpistos | Yes | 03:18 |

ryrys | BramCI, root (sdb1) | 03:19 |
memian | Xpistos: may be you can use it, share a folder on win and connect from VM | 03:19 |
ryrys | BramCI, setup(sdb1) | 03:19 |
ryrys | BramCI, quit | 03:19 |
juice_ | ok i'm trying to boot from live cd but when i select boot in safe graphics mode it says "kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill the idle task" wtf do i do? | 03:19 |
Xpistos | I am having trouble getrint the shared folder to work, but honestly, I have only realley worked on it for about 30 min - 1hr | 03:20 |
BramCI | ryrys: "Error 23: Error while parsing number" for root and setup | 03:20 |
tronz | not sure if this is the right cannel for this question but.... does any1 know how to set up the serial port to do 115200 baud?? I can get it to work for up to and including 38400 but higher than that and I get garbage out | 03:20 |
ryrys | BramCI, if doest work, use root (hd0) then setup(hd0) and then quit | 03:20 |
tronz | I am using C and termios | 03:20 |
BramCI | ryrys: Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition for setup | 03:21 |
techqbert | how does firefox 3 beta perform on heron? is it quicker then 2 on gutsy? | 03:21 |

abc | i am having a kinda wierd problem with gusyt gibbon, when i play feull screen games, it will pop outta full screen and go to a windowed mode and then i have 2 manualy restart my computer, is ther a way to fix this | 03:22 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:22 |
tech404 | techqbert, i would if i was you... hardy is going to be great and it is already pretty polished | 03:23 |
CaptMorgan | here is a really simple question, how do I verify if a computer has Flash player installed? I need to know to help a co-worker out and I am not infront of the computer, was hoping for a terminal command o something | 03:23 |
ryrys | BramCI, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60939/ | 03:23 |
juice_ | ok i'm trying to boot from live cd but when i select boot in safe graphics mode it says "kernel panic - not syncing: attempted to kill the idle task" wtf do i do? | 03:23 |
tritium | CaptMorgan: apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree | 03:23 |
tronz | maybe some1 could reccomend a better channel to ask my question in | 03:23 |
juice_ | CaptMorgan: try plaing a video on youtube | 03:23 |
amenado | CaptMorgan-> adobe web site has a test for flash plugin | 03:23 |
techqbert | tech404: yeah I've heard the beta is really stable | 03:24 |
CaptMorgan | tritium, thanks | 03:24 |
tech404 | abc, I dont know what the problem is but I used to have the same one in gutsy... do you use the nvidia proprietary driver? | 03:24 |
CaptMorgan | juice_ so she does have it then cause I know she is always watching youtube | 03:24 |
tritium | CaptMorgan: sure. That's to test for the ubuntu package, to see if it's installed. | 03:24 |
juice_ | CaptMorgan: word | 03:24 |
BramCI | ryrys: same error for the setup :/ | 03:24 |
abc | tech404 i have waht ever it installed automaticaly, linux noob here | 03:24 |
Animortis | Can anyone please tell me how to get my printer's official name so I can use it on a network in 7.10? | 03:25 |
napi | Ask it nicely? :p | 03:25 |
juice_ | anyone know why my kernel isnt syncing when i boot from liveCD? | 03:25 |
tech404 | abc, I would just wait a bit and install hardy from scratch... it has been flawless for me | 03:25 |
amenado | one good thing i guess is that nasty npviewer.bin (for flash) does not exist in ubuntu | 03:25 |
ryrys | BramCI, hmmm I dont have any idea then :( | 03:25 |
anaoum | ubuntu vs debian | 03:25 |
Jon855 | Ubuntu is debian based | 03:26 |
Jon855 | so that's moot | 03:26 |
juice_ | ha | 03:26 |
graft | xorg.conf is bullshit, man | 03:26 |
anaoum | trivia: where did the name "Debian" originate from? | 03:26 |
tritium | !language | graft | 03:26 |
ubotu | graft: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 03:26 |
Jon855 | My friend's a Debian nerd, and he says debian is the way to go | 03:26 |
graft | it's 2008, why do i still have to edit my modelines? | 03:26 |
tech404 | Debra and Ian | 03:26 |
tritium | anaoum: please stay on topic | 03:26 |
CaptMorgan | graft, not for long | 03:26 |
abc | tech404 are u useing the beta? i'm a big gamer and this is driving me INSANE | 03:26 |
anaoum | sorry tritium :P | 03:27 |
anaoum | Debra & Ian is correct though | 03:27 |
graft | CaptMorgan: yeah, i keep hearing that | 03:27 |
tritium | Animortis: how is the printer being shared? Direct network connection? | 03:27 |
abc | and i must say i LOVE all the eye candy, am i gonna lose ne of that goin to the newer version? | 03:27 |
tech404 | abc, hardy is already acting better for me the gutsy ever did... and because I have new top o the line hw it was a great step for me.... i bet your in the same boat | 03:27 |
tech404 | abc, no it gets better in the new version | 03:28 |
CaptMorgan | graft, believe me I hate it to xorg-edit is a simple program that can build your modelines and input them for you | 03:28 |
* tritium observes "your" is the most mis-used word on IRC | 03:28 |
ryrys | xdd | 03:28 |
* nikrud thought it was u | 03:28 |
tritium | nikrud: u is not a word. It's a letter. | 03:28 |
napi | "its/it's" is probably high up the list | 03:28 |
graft | CaptMorgan: i don't mind the editing, it's just the thinking about it that i hate | 03:28 |
abc | tech404 thanks for the help, i think i'll save my music and pic and give it a try | 03:28 |
Animortis | tritium, Directly through a home network. I want to share it to an XP laptop, and i'm looking at the wiki entry on printer sharing but the url I put in the Windows "Add a Printer" wizard is http://mypcname:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME and I don't know what that is. I've tried everything. | 03:28 |
juice_ | anyone know where i go to find a L.U.G. in my hood? | 03:28 |
nikrud | tritium misused outside of it's language ;p | 03:29 |
graft | CaptMorgan: Xorg should just figure out the optimal resolution and use it | 03:29 |
BramCI | ryrys: well thank for every thing. I'm gonna ask a big hd to a friend to backup | 03:29 |
=== abc is now known as [FFS]ABC |

SpudDogg | Trying to get WPA working in this machine is giving me a horrible headache. | 03:29 |
juice_ | anyone know where i go to find a L.U.G. in my hood? | 03:29 |
ryrys | BramCI, oki, good luck ;-) | 03:29 |
tritium | Animortis: directly on the network? i.e., attached to a router, or otherwise directly via ethernet? | 03:30 |
Animortis | tritium, Yes | 03:30 |
CaptMorgan | graft: imagine how I feel having a generic no name LCD TV, its like nailing jello to a wall untl i get it down | 03:30 |
BramCI | ryrys: | 03:30 |
tritium | Animortis: well, that URL you gave was for a printer connected to a machine running cups, where the printer was connected to the machine, not the network directly | 03:31 |
BramCI | thx | 03:31 |

Belenion | !LAMP | 03:31 |
ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 03:31 |
SpudDogg | Does anyone have any insight into getting WPA working with an ipw3945 in gutsy? | 03:31 |
Animortis | tritium, Allow me to clarify, maybe I misunderstood you. An Ubuntu 7.10 PC with a directly connected printer sharing to a Windows XP laptop on a network. | 03:31 |
juice_ | Pickles: use firefox ;) | 03:32 |
tritium | Animortis: you've configured cups to share it? | 03:32 |
anaoum | ubuntu needs to do hibernation like debian! | 03:32 |
tritium | anaoum: it does | 03:32 |
nomic | pickles it may be a browser 'plugin' | 03:32 |
Pickles | juice_:Same problem, i've tried it. | 03:32 |
usser | there now firefox is not better than opera | 03:32 |
bazhang | http://www.funnestra.org/ubuntu/gutsy/ at the bottom of this page are more hints Animortis | 03:32 |
anaoum | does ubuntu do hibernation in a completely different way to debian? | 03:33 |
juice_ | Pickles: a bar pops up at the top of the page with a button on the right, click it | 03:33 |
Animortis | tritium, I didn't know I had to. It doesn't say anything about that in the wiki. I have the printer working fine on this, the UBuntu desktop with the printer directly plugged in so I assumed sharing was simply a matter of connection. | 03:33 |
anaoum | i'd think theyd be similar | 03:33 |
anaoum | but evidently they are not | 03:33 |
tritium | Animortis: yes, you have to explicitly enable sharing | 03:33 |
SpudDogg | Does anyone have any insight into getting WPA working with an ipw3945 in gutsy? | 03:33 |
Animortis | tritium, Alright, how? Or can you link me to something that'll say how? *does wiki search while waiting* | 03:34 |
tritium | Animortis: System -> Administration -> Printing | 03:34 |
memstat | just get firefox and install flash | 03:34 |
memstat | opera is cool but not that cool | 03:34 |
bazhang | SpudDogg: does the nm-applet not respond? | 03:35 |
memstat | firefox is nice, clean , and has alot of support even from big companies | 03:35 |
Animortis | tritium, I've seen that dialog and have the "Share printers connected to this system" check-marked. | 03:35 |
memstat | plus it is a simple terminal line to install flash | 03:35 |
SpudDogg | bazhang: well when i had that "working" it kept dropping my connection then reconnecting. I read that a solution was to use wicd instead, but I could not get that to connect at all. Now I've reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome, but my card is not even recognized anymore | 03:36 |
tritium | Animortis: then all you need to do is follow the steps for adding a network printer on the Windows side. | 03:37 |
bazhang | SpudDogg: what does ifconfig say in the terminal? just eth0 and the loopback? | 03:37 |
trr92 | any one knoe how to stream music to a psp from ubuntu | 03:38 |
exile777 | is there a way to list all the drives, specifically cd and dvd drives from the commandline? | 03:38 |
CaptMorgan | Does anyone have input as to if 8.04 is stable enough to move to full time yet? | 03:38 |
Animortis | tritium, Ah, that's the problem and we're back to the beginning. What's the name of my printer so I can enter it into the network URL field in the Windows XP add printer wizard (Or rather, how do I find the name?) | 03:38 |
bazhang | CaptMorgan: #ubuntu+1 please | 03:38 |
Pickles | One more quick question, Is there anyway to change the colour scheme for Ubuntu 7.04? | 03:38 |
tronz | can anyone tell me what this message wants me to do? | 03:39 |

nikrud | SpudDogg is this running: /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon | 03:41 |
yn | Hi. I am having difficulty using dpkg-divert to resolve a conflict. I am using Envy to install the latest ati catalyst drivers on 64-bit Ubuntu. When I run envy, it tries to install the package that it just built, and can't install it because there is a conflict with /usr/lib32/libGL.so.1, which is also provided by ia32-libs | 03:41 |
memstat | Radit: once you connect to the same one it remembers after awhile | 03:41 |
tritium | !envy | yn | 03:41 |
ubotu | yn: 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 » | 03:41 |
bazhang | CaptMorgan: /j #ubuntu+1 for Hardy discussion please | 03:41 |
bazhang | CaptMorgan: just type that in the irc client message window | 03:41 |
SpudDogg_ | nikrud: yes, it is | 03:42 |
memstat | . | 03:42 |
bazhang | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 SpudDogg_ here you go | 03:42 |
Animortis | Really quick, what's the cups restart command? | 03:42 |
SpudDogg_ | bazhang: cool, thanks man | 03:42 |
nikrud | SpudDogg I guess the best bet is bazhang . Some of the interactions of the gnome tools are not exactly transparent. | 03:42 |
bazhang | no worries ;] | 03:42 |
amenado | Animortis-> /etc/init.d/cupsys restart | 03:43 |
yn | ok, forget about the fact that I am using envy. Can someone explain just how to use dpkg-divert in my situation? | 03:43 |
tritium | Animortis: sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart | 03:43 |
tritium | (as I said above) | 03:43 |
Radit | How many times does it take for the Network Manager to remember? I tried rebooting, but it didn't automatically connect to the last wireless network i connected to.. I had to manually select it.. | 03:43 |
tritium | Radit: once | 03:43 |
bazhang | yn hard to forget it when you just said it and this channel does not support it | 03:43 |
Radit | tritium: didn't work.. | 03:43 |
amenado | Radit-> paste in pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces | 03:44 |
tritium | Radit: make sure you don't configure the interface manually (i.e., it should *not* be listed in /etc/network/interfaces) | 03:44 |
Animortis | Alright... My laptop can see my desktop now when it browses but cannot access the printer through it. This is a different problem, I know it. | 03:44 |
tritium | Animortis: so, Windows can now see the printer after restarting cups? | 03:44 |
yn | OK, well, I am sorry about that. | 03:45 |
yn | Is there an Ubuntu-supported way to install the 8-3 Catalyst drivers? | 03:45 |
c0Ld | If I install Ubuntu on my USB key (yes, I know it won't last long, but I'd like to boot into it from school), would it mess with my boot table at all? or would the system never know it exists unless the key is plugged in? | 03:45 |
Radit | amenado & tritium: auto lo | 03:45 |
tritium | yn: you've read the manpages, etc. on dpkg-divert? | 03:45 |
Radit | iface lo inet loopback | 03:45 |
yn | yes | 03:45 |
AnthraxDream | Can anyone tell me why I can't hear anything? | 03:45 |
Animortis | tritium, It can see the computer, but will not let me see the printers on it. I think this has something to do with the laptop also not being able to get into the Ubuntu desktop for file sharing too, saying it's got permission problems. I am searching for a solution on my own to unlock this unless someone's willing to share... | 03:45 |
tritium | Radit: if that's all you have, that's good. | 03:45 |
amenado | tritium if he didnt have it in the interfaces file, wouldnt the nm select the strongest signal it can connect to? so it would still forget the last AP it was associated with? | 03:46 |
yn | I've setup the diversion, but when the dpkg -i happens, it still complains about the conflict | 03:46 |
tritium | amenado: I'm not certain | 03:46 |
fismoll9 | hey guys, I get this error whenever I try to play audio: W: couldn't connect to HAL, disabling MediaDevices browser followed by *** PULSEAUDIO: Unable to connect: Connection refused. The audio will play, however. What is HAL, and what does the above error mean? | 03:46 |
bazhang | amenado: that has been my experience as well | 03:46 |
tritium | yn: the debian reference also details dpkg-divert as well. Perhaps try that | 03:47 |
kindofabuzz_ | with a NFS share, do i have to create the actual mount point foler or will it be auto created? | 03:47 |
nikrud | fismoll9 hardy? ask in #ubuntu+1 | 03:47 |
kindofabuzz_ | folder* | 03:47 |
amenado | tritium i have no problems at all having it set in my interfaces file..so everytime I boot up, same AP I use all the time | 03:47 |
amenado | bazhang-> what do you mean? not having it set in the interfaces file? | 03:47 |
Radit | how do you do that amenado? | 03:47 |
tritium | amenado: NM ignores interfaces that are manually configured in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:47 |
bazhang | amenado: I never mess with that cli stuff ;] just the part about the strongest single being the one it goes for first | 03:48 |
amenado | tritium if not in roaming mode? | 03:48 |
kindofabuzz_ | example: mount 192.168.1.27:/home/jigdo/ /root/nfs/ wil the nfs folder be auto created? | 03:48 |
tritium | amenado: roaming mode means that it's not configured | 03:48 |
bazhang | err signal | 03:48 |
amenado | bazhang okay that I agree on, whatever the strongest it finds, it latch on to it, if you have it set to roaming mode | 03:48 |
Ububegin | anyone can recommend a simple text editor for writing code...but it can also enable code collapsing (example collapsing code for functions) like as in eclipse... | 03:49 |
amenado | tritium oh i see, yeah mine is not set for roaming mode and i have set the essid in the interfaces file, so next reboot, it latch on to same AP | 03:49 |
bazhang | amenado: right; and that is for a laptop I take out a bit; for home network computers with wifi they always choose the home one--never had to set that one up though after the initial time | 03:49 |
rhombus | I have a server with 12 GB of RAM in it, but Ubuntu Feisty is only showing 4 GB. | 03:50 |
rhombus | What might be causing that? | 03:50 |
kindofabuzz_ | 12G of ram? damn | 03:50 |
tritium | amenado: you can configure NM to connect to it, and it'll store your essid, passphrase, etc. | 03:50 |
rhombus | kindofabuzz_: it's a terminal server, it needs it | 03:50 |
kalatian | rhombus: you have to use 64bit Ubuntu to use more the 4gb of ram | 03:50 |
bazhang | rhombus: 64bit or 32bit? | 03:50 |
kindofabuzz_ | ahh | 03:50 |
rhombus | bazhang: I assume it's 32 bit | 03:50 |
Pickles | rhombus:are you duel booting? | 03:50 |
rhombus | why in hell would I need to use the 64 bit kernel? | 03:51 |
rhombus | Pickles: no | 03:51 |
bazhang | rhombus: better get 32 bit then if your processor is 64 bit | 03:51 |

AnthraxDream | Can anyone tell me why I can't hear anything? | 03:51 |
tritium | s/duel/dual, Pickles. (Unless the OSes are sword-fighting) | 03:51 |
exile777 | is there something to list all connected cd/dvd drives from the command line? | 03:51 |
kalatian | rhombus: why wouldn't you use 64bit on a server, esp. if you need more then 4 gb of ram? | 03:51 |
rhombus | bazhang: It's a Xeon | 03:51 |
bazhang | AnthraxDream: not without any info no | 03:51 |
amenado | tritium my experience has been, as long as in roaming mode, whatever settings i have in the interfaces file, get ignored, and it just choose to latch on to the strongest at the time i guess it scans.. | 03:51 |
Radit | amenado: how do you setup nm to connect to your prefered AP//? | 03:52 |
bazhang | rhombus: is that dual core or quad core? | 03:52 |
rhombus | kalatian: I can't support 4 GB of RAM with a 32 bit kernel? | 03:52 |
AnthraxDream | Well I have esound installed | 03:52 |
tritium | rhombus: npe | 03:52 |
tritium | nope* | 03:52 |
rhombus | bazhang: no, it's a garden variety | 03:52 |
AnthraxDream | But nothing is coming out of my speakers | 03:52 |
AnthraxDream | Anything else I would need to do? | 03:52 |
kalatian | rhombus: up to 4, no more -- there might be a patch somewhere, I can't remember, that allows you to use 32bit and more ram | 03:52 |
amenado | Radit-> i uncheck the roaming mode, then select the ESSD of the AP, | 03:52 |
kalatian | rhombus: but just using 64bit is by far the easiest way, esp for a server | 03:52 |
tritium | kalatian: no, 4 is the limit (2^32 is only so big) | 03:52 |
rhombus | Does this mean that the entire system needs to be rebuilt? | 03:53 |
bazhang | rhombus: or put the ram elsewhere | 03:53 |
tritium | rhombus: you get support 4, but that's the limit. | 03:53 |
amenado | Radit and add any additional things i may need in /etc/network/interfaces | 03:53 |
kalatian | tritium: yeah -- I thought somewhere I saw something that would allow one to use more then 4gb of ram with 32bit, but maybe not :D | 03:53 |
rhombus | I need the RAM, the thing is swapping 2 GB | 03:53 |
tux97 | do you use gtkpod for apple ipods? | 03:53 |
rhombus | I'll use the 64 bit kernel if that's what's required | 03:53 |
bazhang | tux97: the newest ones? | 03:53 |
rhombus | what I'm more concerned about is that this is a production machine | 03:54 |
Radit | amenado: where can i find those settings? | 03:54 |
tritium | rhombus: if you need only 4GB, you can get by with a 32-bit system | 03:54 |
amenado | kalatian-> i doubt it, as matter of fact, i think you're pretty much limited to 3gb.. | 03:54 |
tux97 | the one before the newest ones i have photo/video 30 gb | 03:54 |
rhombus | tritium: well, sadly, I need more | 03:54 |
kalatian | rhombus: 64 bit is just as stable, if thats what your worried about | 03:54 |
rhombus | kalatian: i'm not worried about stability | 03:54 |
amenado | Radit-> if you man interfaces the different options are listed | 03:54 |
tritium | Radit: those settings are in /etc/network/interfaces, but it's better to let network manager do the work for you | 03:54 |
rhombus | kalatian: I'm worried about binary compatibility | 03:54 |
crazy_elf | does anyone know what the best way to convert a folder full of songs to another format with ffmpeg? | 03:55 |
kalatian | rhombus: x86_64 is backwards compatible with x86, so as long as you have the correct libs, everything should work | 03:55 |
fk7_se | anybody use adsense?? | 03:55 |
Radit | amenado: man interfaces? sorry, i don't understand.. | 03:55 |
rhombus | kalatian: is there an upgrade path documented anywhere? | 03:55 |
bazhang | tux97: you can try; if it does not work then you need libgpod 0.6.0 which is a few weeks away in Hardy unless you want to compile it for Gutsy | 03:55 |
amenado | Radit-> on a terminal type man interfaces | 03:55 |
kalatian | rhombus: you have to reinstall to use 64bit afaik | 03:55 |
bazhang | fk7_se: not reall an ubuntu question thanks | 03:55 |
Ububegin | Hi guys, i found another cool software..which can do code folding... Its called *Geany* .. tks anyways | 03:55 |
rhombus | kalatian: **** | 03:56 |
yn | OK, I see. here's my problem: I setup a diversion for a package. the package has its own diversions when it installs, and its list doesn't include my diversion. It removes all of its "old" diversions (including the one that I setup for it) when it is attempted to be instaled | 03:56 |
mike__ | dose any one know any thing about the shared folder feture in Virtual box ? | 03:56 |
mike__ | all im trying to do is share my Linux HOME folder with XP | 03:56 |
tux97 | my gusty sees it but i dont see no songs on it in gtkpod dont see nothing in there how do u set it up in gtkpod bazhang? | 03:56 |
kalatian | rhombus: if you're really bored and really good with linux, you *might* be able to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, but I wouldn't try it :P | 03:56 |
bazhang | tux97: I use amarok | 03:56 |
kalatian | but I'm no expert by any means | 03:56 |
mike__ | i wanna know how i can brows a Network share i have Win Xp in virtualbox and C: mapped but ubuntu dont see it | 03:56 |
crazy_elf | mike__, http://www.mepislovers.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-5152.html | 03:56 |
yn | The file that it's working against is just a symlink. Is there a way to setup a dpkg environment so that it just overwrites the file directly? | 03:56 |
mike__ | sweet :D | 03:56 |
tux97 | u use amarok for what bazhang? | 03:57 |
yn | without using --force on dpkg? (this is run from a script that's generates on the fly, too hairy to look through) | 03:57 |
busan | how to uese windows wine | 03:57 |

busan | wine app? | 03:57 |
crazy_elf | does anyone know how to batch convert a folder full of files? | 03:57 |
kalatian | rhombus: tritium: here is what I was talking about: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2005-August/022327.html | 03:58 |
Radit | thanks guys.. | 03:58 |
tux97 | gtkpod ipods | 03:58 |
bazhang | yn: may as well uninstall the envy and the ati drivers and get them from the restricted drivers manager | 03:58 |
Ububegin | woohoo,*geany* even has a terminal built into it.... woo hoo again... Goodbye VIM and GEdit , i reckon... | 03:58 |
bazhang | busan what do you want to do | 03:58 |
mike__ | floola is better | 03:58 |
mike__ | for ipods | 03:58 |
bazhang | floola is marginal | 03:59 |
tux97 | ok witch one should i use lol | 03:59 |
mike__ | try em both | 03:59 |
rhombus | kalatian: I was sure that I could do up to 64 GB with a 32 bit kernel | 03:59 |
bazhang | tux97: may as well try them all including amarok | 03:59 |
yn | I've tried the version that's currently in RDM | 03:59 |
tritium | kalatian: ah, sure enough | 03:59 |
yn | Haven't been able to configure it with my hd | 04:00 |

busan | How to flood IP on my local network?? | 04:00 |
AgentHeX | i'm running gentoo on a box of mine, but the folks in #gentoo are less than responsive. i'm having difficulty with a RAID-5 array i've set up with mdadm. it appears that the chkfs init script tells me that /dev/md0 is an invalid e2fs filesystem, so it tries to recover the journal, but when it tries, it throws a machine check exception and reboots. | 04:00 |
bazhang | busan that sounds wrong | 04:00 |
yn | whereas the version that came with envy (before this one) worked, but with glitches. | 04:00 |

tritium | busan: that's offtopic, anyway. | 04:01 |
busan | What? must be? | 04:01 |
bazhang | AgentHeX: switch to ubuntu then we can talk--- www.ubuntu.com is a good place to start ;] | 04:01 |

bazhang | mike__: google it is not a good answer; if you dont know then you dont know; someone else may ;] | 04:02 |
mike__ | better :p | 04:03 |
bazhang | busan please specify; what windows app | 04:03 |
robc4 | is the medibuntu repo up for hardy yet? | 04:03 |
tritium | robc4: #ubuntu+1 for hardy | 04:03 |
busan | my local app, with extension .exe | 04:03 |
yn | weird, it just worked, identical commands as before | 04:03 |
YeaSt | the question is I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extra, but rhythmbox still could not play the music | 04:03 |
busan | likely translator language | 04:04 |
robc4 | Yeast, you need gstreamer-0.10-ugly | 04:04 |
tux97 | mike__ got screenshots for the floola? | 04:04 |
bazhang | busan what specific app please | 04:04 |
mike__ | nope | 04:04 |
busan | macromedia dreamweaver | 04:04 |
YeaSt | I have installed that | 04:04 |
tritium | robc4: ubuntu-restricted-extras depends on that | 04:05 |
busan | I can't use amaya | 04:05 |
teddy | which version? dreamweaver 8 can run in wine | 04:05 |
mike__ | tux97 i used floola in windows .. im now installing it in ubuntu as well | 04:05 |
bazhang | busan your best bet would be to read through the winehq appdb and see how well those work | 04:05 |
busan | all windows aplication can run in ubuntu? | 04:06 |
bazhang | busan no of course not | 04:06 |
Flannel | busan: not all, but wine does a fairly good job. | 04:06 |
tux97 | i see mike__ i installed it but i dont see nothing in the gui lol | 04:06 |
mike__ | - LINUX REQUIREMENTS: | 04:07 |
mike__ | Floola requires gstreamer or xine to be installed in order to playback music and videos. | 04:07 |
mike__ | x64 users should refer to online troubleshooting documentation in case of issues on startup. | 04:07 |
busan | thank you very much:-D | 04:07 |
robc4 | tritium, I had the same problem as Yeast. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras and rythmbox still didnt play mp3's | 04:07 |
bazhang | tux97: does floola have some docs you can read? best to read them first | 04:07 |
robc4 | there is one more package you have to install, but I cant remember what it was exactly | 04:07 |
tux97 | i'm looking i think i d/led the wrong thing i think i got the extras lol | 04:08 |
robc4 | I wonder if I experienced an anomoly | 04:08 |
mike__ | tux97 did u do apt-get install floola ? | 04:08 |
robc4 | I would imagine there would be a massive bug report if all systems acted like mine | 04:08 |
vehicle | is there cons using lilo insteat of grub? | 04:08 |
tux97 | yes where it says for ubuntu users | 04:09 |

eros | :o) | 04:09 |
Cpudan80 | YouKnowMe: program & | 04:10 |
Cpudan80 | As far as I know you have to restart it | 04:10 |
crdlb | YouKnowMe: if it's already running, Ctrl+Z then bg | 04:10 |
abo | can anyone point me to a good beginner article/tutorial about developping C++ in linux, I'm interested in learning the basics (specially how you used the debugger and make file ) I have prior knowledge in C++ as a language, but always used Visual Studio under windows | 04:10 |
Cpudan80 | oh | 04:10 |
Cpudan80 | interesting | 04:10 |
ermali86 | hello. can anyone tell me please how to make wlassistant to run as root at the startup. i am using kde | 04:10 |
crdlb | followed by disown for completeness | 04:10 |
tux97 | mike__ couldn't find it | 04:10 |
Cpudan80 | I didn't know that | 04:10 |
YouKnowMe | crdlb bg? | 04:10 |
crdlb | background | 04:10 |
pestilence | YouKnowMe: look into gnu screen | 04:10 |
crdlb | fg will return it to the foreground | 04:10 |
Pickles | Im trying to install a flash player for ubuntu 7.04 and I can't get it to work, any ideas? | 04:11 |
mike__ | tux97 well i missed the last bit of the page sudo apt-get install libnotify-bin | 04:11 |
mike__ | hehe | 04:11 |
YouKnowMe | oic, Hmm I'll try that thanks! | 04:11 |
pestilence | YouKnowMe: or, start it with an & | 04:11 |
robc4 | ahh, got it. Yeast, installed w32codecs from Medibuntu | 04:11 |
tux97 | did that mike__ | 04:11 |
robc4 | *install | 04:12 |
robc4 | Yeast : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3 | 04:12 |
Pickles | Should I download a .tar.gz , .rpm , or YUM upgrade for my flash player? | 04:12 |
eros | can some i tell me how i can tell if i need to black list a defalt wifi driver | 04:12 |
YouKnowMe | Well ctrl+z worked just fine! Thanks! Thats one to remember. | 04:12 |
tritium | robc4: that's unrelated | 04:12 |
robc4 | how so? | 04:12 |
HorizonXP | I'm on a campus residence network that assigns IPs by DHCP. Their DNS server dies all the time, so I'd like to use a free one. How would I specify a static DNS server? | 04:12 |
Pickles | Any ideas? | 04:12 |
robc4 | it is in the help file on how to play mp3's in rhythmbox | 04:13 |
busan | where im get tutorial kompoZer? | 04:13 |
vehicle | is there a diference in using lilo vs grub when my server is dedicated to ubuntu server? | 04:13 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: how about just running your own? | 04:13 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: errr.... I think the Reznet gods would frown on that | 04:13 |
homosaur | this is not a WHAT IS THE BEST DISTRO question, but are there any distos out there that are specifically aimed at developers? | 04:13 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: why? | 04:14 |
tritium | robc4: I guess you're right. I've never neded that. I guess that's why it says "some mp3 files..." | 04:14 |
tritium | homosaur: not really. Each distro needs them. | 04:14 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: also, it's my main school laptop, don't want to bog it down; because servers are not allowed on the network | 04:14 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: don't run a dhcp server...and don't allow incoming dns requests... | 04:14 |
zalker | Ubuntu gnome is the greatest for me | 04:14 |
CVD-PR | Hey this happend when i log on everytime: "There was an error starting the Gnome Settings Deamon" | 04:14 |
abo | can anyone point me to a good beginner article/tutorial about developping C++ in linux, I'm interested in learning the basics (specially how you used the debugger and make file ) I have prior knowledge in C++ as a language, but always used Visual Studio under windows | 04:14 |
mike__ | tux97 ive got no idea im still n00b | 04:14 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: ok, that makes a bit of sense, but how would I populate it? | 04:14 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: servers are not allowed to *listen* on the network, for sure. what could they care if you have one running for yourself | 04:14 |
mike__ | i dunno wtf that Cmd did .. | 04:14 |
mike__ | lol | 04:15 |
CVD-PR | ? | 04:15 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: the same way all other dns servers populate :-D | 04:15 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: hrm...... ok, I'm intrigued. Links? | 04:15 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: sudo aptitude install bind9 | 04:15 |
=== ubuntu is now known as SeanChiarot |
CVD-PR | ? | 04:15 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: then vim /usr/share/doc/bind9/... | 04:15 |
pestilence | (don't know of any links other than that) | 04:16 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Oh yeah, I have a 500 MB download limit... is this going to go above that by populating the DNS | 04:16 |
bazhang | abo do you have anjuta? | 04:16 |
busan | where im got tutorial kmpozer or amaya? | 04:16 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: no. | 04:16 |
=== _max is now known as max |
pestilence | HorizonXP: it's not going to lookup names unless you request it | 04:16 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Nice, I like. I'm installing now. | 04:16 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Except that I still need to rely on the campus DNS server to let me download this..... vicious circle! lol | 04:17 |
vehicle | i just installed ubuntu server and now i want to install samba can anyone give me any help, i know its on the cd, i just didnt install it with the load | 04:17 |
artfullylost | So, would Kubuntu or Ubuntu be a better bet for a newcomer? | 04:17 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: haha, but that's a catch in any potential solution | 04:17 |
CVD-PR | Hey this happend when i log on everytime: "There was an error starting the Gnome Settings Deamon" | 04:17 |
CVD-PR | ? | 04:17 |
bazhang | artfullylost: matter of taste really check out screenshots on their homepages or via distrowatch.com | 04:18 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: touché, I'm just lamenting. | 04:18 |
abo | bazhang, I've seen it before, I don't have it installed at the moment, but I had the impression that Anjuta generates the Makefile for you,.. I don't want that, I'd like to learn the basics behind.. and then once I'm comfortable with it, I would start using Anjuta / Kdevelop or Eclipse/CDT | 04:18 |
artfullylost | I mean, it's like a 5 minute operation to change them from one to the other anyway, right, bazhang? | 04:18 |
robc4 | Is there any way to control CPU fan speed on AMD CPU's? I am running 64 bit Ubuntu | 04:19 |
bazhang | artfullylost: not quite that quick to download the entire desktop suite unless you have FiOS or something fast like that but fairly quick yeah | 04:19 |
Nasra | Is there program to access my pc from anywhere within Ubuntu? | 04:19 |
tritium | Nasra: ssh, for one | 04:20 |
Nasra | ssh | 04:20 |
Flannel | Nasra: yeah, it allows you to login via terminal from an arbitrary computer. There are others for graphical things as well (and some of them traverse through ssh) | 04:21 |
amenado | Nasra-> http is a form of access...is that what you meant? | 04:21 |
Nasra | ok...that is good news | 04:21 |
Nasra | yes | 04:21 |
Nasra | let's say if I want to access my computer from another country or so... | 04:21 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: so I'm looking at the documenation, and it seems out of the box, this bind9 will provide a "caching" schema | 04:22 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: yea | 04:22 |
Nasra | I got 3 good answers thanks guys... | 04:22 |
amenado | Nasra-> you have to be clear with what you meant by access.. to interact or just knowing your pc is active? | 04:22 |
pestilence | which actually reduces your footprint | 04:22 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: how do I prevent incoming requests? Or do I not really have to worry, since my IP address really isn't broadcast... | 04:22 |
YeaSt | amarok is so good, it plays my mp3 just after I installed it | 04:22 |
Nasra | amenado | 04:22 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: well, you should have a firewall, right? | 04:22 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Lol.... | 04:23 |
Nasra | to have access to my pc and work from faraway checking files emails, etc.... | 04:23 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Firestarter? I hated that thing.... is there a better one? | 04:23 |
ermali86 | hello. can anyone tell me please how to make wlassistant to run as root at the startup. i am using kde | 04:23 |
talcite | hey guys... does anyone know what's going on here? I put a link like www.google.ca into pidgin, and when I click on it... swiftweasel brings me to www.%u.com | 04:23 |
talcite | it doesn't matter which link I put into pidgin, It always brings me to www.%u.com | 04:24 |
Lleumas | Anyone have any clue as to how to get my video thumbnails back? I'm not sure, I installed xine avi, but still not luck. | 04:24 |
busan | how to install kde dekstop from ubuntu command trow console | 04:24 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: i don't know what the best gui firewall is these days. shorewall is a good firewall, but it can be a pain to configure if you don't know what you are doing | 04:24 |
bazhang | ermali86: what do you mean run as root; you want it to connect at startup or other | 04:24 |
talcite | and ontop of that, I've seen it happen from other programs as well, not just piding | 04:24 |
talcite | pidgin* | 04:24 |
amenado | Nasra-> then you must have a server running on your pc..to service the type of access you need | 04:24 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: wait, I'm on Hardy, and ufw is the new feature. Time to test it! | 04:24 |
ChameleonDave | Hey, does anyone use Katapult? | 04:24 |
bazhang | busan kubuntu-desktop is the package name | 04:24 |
jrib | talcite: what does system -> preferences -> preferred applications have as your Web Browser *exactly*? | 04:25 |
bazhang | ChameleonDave: do you have an issue with it? | 04:25 |
busan | to change my gnome desktop to kubuntu? | 04:25 |
Nasra | amenado....it's not a biggy thing ....it's just wanna interact with my pc from faraway.... | 04:25 |
bazhang | busan aye | 04:25 |
tritium | busan: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 04:25 |
amenado | Nasra biggy or smally, same difference, you have to have a server running on your pc to service the type of access | 04:26 |
talcite | jrib: argh! I JUST went to check that because it came to me as well lol | 04:26 |
tritium | busan: then, you'll have both gnome and kde desktops to choose from | 04:26 |
ermali86 | bazhang: yes i want it to connect at startup | 04:26 |
talcite | i have swiftweasel %u | 04:26 |
Nasra | amenado ... I am new to linux....did not know it was good...just exploring from what I used to do in windows..... | 04:26 |
busan | nice | 04:26 |
jrib | talcite: see anything in common? change %u to %s | 04:26 |
talcite | jrib: heh. Thanks | 04:26 |
busan | thanks | 04:26 |
amenado | Nasra-> oh ubuntu can do a few more without costing you much.. | 04:27 |
talcite | ahh there we go | 04:27 |
bazhang | ermali86: any reason not to use network-manager to do that? | 04:27 |
talcite | all good. Thank you | 04:27 |
ChameleonDave | Bazhang, yes, I used to use it just fine, but then I lost my /home/david partition, and when I created a new one, Katapult wasn't working. I don't see why any user settings should be involved. It's a program that should work for all users out of the box. | 04:27 |
ermali86 | bazhang: network manager keeps getting me problems and doesnt recognize my wireless card so i am bored with it | 04:28 |
sk8ball | where can i adjust/view what the number of colors are that is being used for X... like 16bit, 32bit, etc... | 04:28 |
Nasra | amenado...in windows spending to much money.....and stilll problem.....I've been forced to learn linux so I can run PBX | 04:28 |
bazhang | ChameleonDave: you might want to check into #kubuntu from time to time as the maintainer of Katapult is sometimes on irc | 04:28 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: what port am I blocking for DNS packets? | 04:28 |
amenado | Nasra-> are you a telephony type of person? | 04:29 |
ntorido | Is there a flash plugin for gimp ? | 04:29 |
Nasra | yes man | 04:29 |
tritium | sk8ball: /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:29 |
bazhang | ntorido: for what end? | 04:29 |
sk8ball | tritium, so ubuntu has no gui solution ... just stuck with editing the config file? | 04:29 |
Nasra | amenado....have to run the telephony under linux and chose Ubuntu | 04:29 |
amenado | Nasra-> you'd have your pbx this side or at the far end? | 04:29 |
jester7 | are there a lot of issues with flash and java on the amd64 version of ubuntu? | 04:29 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: 53 | 04:30 |
tritium | sk8ball: not specifically for changing the color depth, no | 04:30 |
ChameleonDave | I'm not getting any response in #kubuntu | 04:30 |
ce_chinnese | surabaya | 04:30 |
Nasra | amenado.....you talking big time....(my language) correct | 04:30 |
bazhang | jester7: flash seems to be an issue for some | 04:30 |
tritium | sk8ball: it's too rare a task to bother, probably | 04:30 |
leechy9 | hey can any1 help me with the startup splash screen? | 04:30 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: thanks! | 04:30 |
bazhang | ChameleonDave: well then just be patient | 04:30 |
Concretesledge | hello | 04:30 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: np | 04:31 |
sk8ball | thats what pisses me off about linux, and is exactly what is preventing widespread adoption ... too much is dependant about manual editing of config files .... i like to be able to edit them manually but i like to have access to a gui frontend as welll... really increases productivity | 04:31 |
=== co_jmblo is now known as imoet |
Concretesledge | im trying to install ubuntu, i have 3 IDE drives, hda hdb hdc | 04:31 |
Nasra | amenado: I have not installed it yet ...cause have to learn how to run Ubuntu first | 04:31 |
Zoris | leechy9: go into add/remove and install "spash screen" | 04:31 |
amenado | Nasra the reason i asked, because those card that interface with local telco are not compatible in all countries, unless it is homolugated | 04:31 |
bazhang | sk8ball: offtopic here thanks | 04:31 |
Concretesledge | i want ALL 3 to be used for the installation, someone said somethinga bout LVM But i dont understand | 04:31 |
leechy9 | i can disable it at startup by deleting "ro quiet splash" | 04:31 |
tritium | sk8ball: you're the first person I've seen ask to change the color depth in years | 04:31 |
Zoris | splash screen* | 04:31 |
ChameleonDave | Bazhang: Instead of being patient here, I'll just use the forums instead. They are for non-instant help. | 04:31 |
ntorido | So actually whats the best software for developing flash in ubuntu? | 04:31 |
bazhang | ChameleonDave: your choice--the maintainer will give you an instant answer when he is around | 04:32 |
Nasra | amenado: are you familiar with pbx? | 04:32 |
jester7 | bazhang: ahh, so it's not just "broken" it does work for some people | 04:32 |
leechy9 | no, its the bar at startup, i cant boot unless i always remove ro quiet splash in the command line at the beginning | 04:32 |
jester7 | thats good to know | 04:32 |
ChameleonDave | sk8ball: what annoys me is lack of connection between GUI and text files. | 04:32 |
amenado | sk8ball-> you are refering to single machines, try to use gui if you have to support 200 user pc at a time | 04:32 |
bazhang | !ot | 04:32 |
ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 04:32 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: you can have a logical volume which crosses multiple physical volumes | 04:33 |
rhombus | okay, so I need to build a new kernel -- what's the name of the kernel source package in Ubuntu? | 04:33 |
ChameleonDave | sk8ball: Too many GUIs give you no info whatsoever about what text files they are editing behind the scenes. | 04:33 |
sk8ball | chameleon, exactly all these system setup/config should be gui accessible | 04:33 |
amenado | Nasra-> somewhat.. | 04:33 |
jrib | !kernel > rhombus (read the private message from ubotu) | 04:33 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: then you can create a single partition on that logical volume, if you want | 04:33 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: (or any number of partitions) | 04:33 |
sk8ball | chameleon, | 04:33 |
tritium | sk8ball: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic | 04:33 |
calc | sk8ball: fwiw the new version of Xorg will soon autodetect everything | 04:33 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: , so make them all logical? | 04:33 |
sk8ball | calc, when is it due out? | 04:33 |
calc | sk8ball: so xorg.conf will be empty (more or less) | 04:33 |
ChameleonDave | sk8ball: if only they told you what they were doing (e.g. "now modifying /etc/fstab") it would be much easier to learn how to edit the text files yourself | 04:34 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: no. you use LVM, and add all the hard drives to a volume group | 04:34 |
leechy9 | can any1 help with with fixing a bug with the splash screen on startup | 04:34 |
Nasra | amenado: type of communication ...... | 04:34 |
calc | sk8ball: no gui, it will just autodetect all settings | 04:34 |
amenado | Nasra yes, am familiar | 04:34 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: , i didnt see LVM anywhere in the ubuntu install im on live right now | 04:34 |
sk8ball | tritium, is there a way to su to root under ubuntu? | 04:34 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: this is completely different than "logical partitions" | 04:34 |
calc | sk8ball: sudo su - | 04:34 |
Nasra | amenado: okay..... | 04:34 |
tritium | sk8ball: the root account is disabled by default. use "sudo -i" instead | 04:34 |
calc | sk8ball: root password is disabled so you can't do a direct su | 04:34 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: which version? i'm not sure if they even had it in gutsy | 04:34 |
tronz | fgsjdkf | 04:34 |
Concretesledge | 7.10 | 04:34 |
bazhang | tronz do you have a question? | 04:35 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: don' t know | 04:35 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: 7.10 | 04:35 |
Concretesledge | :( | 04:35 |
Nasra | amenado: just been running linux like a week or so with one reinstall... | 04:35 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: I'm editing named.conf.options to include the DNS servers of my rez network; but what happens when I move to another network, like my campus wireless, or when I go to my parents? Do I need to update this file? | 04:35 |
sk8ball | well really i am trying to run ettercap from the menu "shortcut" that add/remove gave me when i installed it but its not seeing eth0 and i am guessing it is a permissions thing | 04:35 |
amenado | Nasra-> do a few more re-install to get yourself familiarize with the nuances.. | 04:35 |
tronz | heh ya but I typed in the wrong window ... know anything about witing serail app in C? | 04:35 |
kindofabuzz_ | i just realized i'm only getting 1500KB/s over the internal network, but my connection says 24Mb/s, what's up with that? | 04:35 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: there where no options in the partition managers, where would it be? | 04:35 |
sk8ball | is there a way to edit the params used in the shortcuts in the applications menu | 04:36 |
sk8ball | ? | 04:36 |
calc | sk8ball: ettercap might have to be run as root | 04:36 |
calc | sk8ball: since it is a packet sniffer | 04:36 |
sk8ball | calc, yah i think so | 04:36 |
tronz | I wanna ask in ##C but I have to register my nick and I can't get that to work properly | 04:36 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: maybe i can use UBCD, to format them or something AS one large partition? | 04:36 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: you shouldn't need a DNS server to run a DNS server. i think it will still resolve names using the root servers | 04:36 |
sk8ball | calc, so will sudo resolve that or ? | 04:36 |
Nasra | amenado: I find that when I first started running Ubuntu was running smoothly now I feel is kind of slow.....why is that? | 04:36 |
tcpdumpgod | Hey guys :) | 04:36 |
tcpdumpgod | and gals :D | 04:36 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: i'm not really sure. | 04:36 |
calc | sk8ball: if you run sudo (ettercap's binary name) yea i think so | 04:37 |
kindofabuzz_ | Nasra: alot more stuff running? | 04:37 |
amenado | Nasra-> i dont know what you consider slow, its all relative.. | 04:37 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: no. you have to use LVM | 04:37 |
=== testing is now known as Jordan_U |
pestilence | Concretesledge: i would check to see if lvm made it into gutsy | 04:37 |
sk8ball | there really should be an option in the add/remove dialog to set it up so a program is sudo'd as root | 04:37 |
calc | sk8ball: looks like the version in hardy is already fixed to run as root | 04:37 |
pestilence | i am guessing it didnt | 04:37 |
ntorido | Does anyone know any software for developing flash in ubuntu ? | 04:37 |
Jordan_U | Nasra, Did you use a program like envy to install proprietary graphics drivers? | 04:38 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Well, we'll see what happens. If my internet doesn't work/is slow tomorrow, I'll know why. :-) | 04:38 |
HorizonXP | pestilence: Thanks again, I think this is going to help a lot! | 04:38 |
Nasra | amenado / Kindofabuzz Is it because I am using the terminal a little bit more since I am installing programs here and there....is that what it's? | 04:38 |
Concretesledge | !google lvm | 04:38 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about google lvm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:38 |
calc | sk8ball: things generally shouldn't run as root unless they need to ettercap not running as root was a bug which was fixed in the last upload | 04:38 |
tritium | Concretesledge: please don't abuse the bot. Investigate in private. | 04:38 |
sk8ball | calc, is there a way to edit the command the shortcuts in the applications menu are using? | 04:38 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: what exactly is LVM | 04:38 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: it could be that the "caching" mode just queries the dns server you specified, and may not help you a lot | 04:38 |
Jordan_U | Nasra, If so, they would have broken with any subsequent kernel upgrades ( unlike installing through the provided restricted manager ) and lack of GPU acceleration can certainly slow things down | 04:39 |
madman5402 | hey can any one tell me how to install azureus | 04:39 |
sk8ball | calc, or someway to fix my menu shortcut for it | 04:39 |
amenado | Nasra-> nope, its just a perception, put a timer and measure so you can really measure the effectiveness | 04:39 |
calc | sk8ball: yea, edit them in /usr/share/applications or copy and override them | 04:39 |
pestilence | HorizonXP: you may have to put it into a different mode to have it resolve on its own (without using the campus servers as a crutch) | 04:39 |
tronz | how do I register my nick ?? I read online to type /msg nickserv register <pass> but that doesn't seem to werk | 04:39 |
Nasra | Jordan_U ...don't think so....just visiting the terminal more often thats all.... | 04:39 |
tritium | sk8ball: or install alacarte, and use that gui tool | 04:39 |
calc | sk8ball: if you edit them directly in /usr/share/applications they will get overwritten at upgrade time | 04:39 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: Logical Volume Manager | 04:39 |
jrib | sk8ball: just right click on the ubuntu icon and "edit menu" | 04:39 |
calc | sk8ball: eg: | 04:40 |
calc | -Exec=/usr/sbin/ettercap --gtk | 04:40 |
calc | +Exec=gksu "/usr/sbin/ettercap --gtk" | 04:40 |
calc | that was what they did to fix ettercap | 04:40 |
amenado | Nasra-> you may be a bit slower now as you have to still look around for the exact command | 04:40 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: could you please tell me how i could find LVM on the ubuntu install disc, while im installing im on a live right now | 04:40 |
Nasra | amenado on day 1....installed a few programs and came here and ask questions....and they told me should do a reinstall because alot of programs are not supported any more had to d0 somthing about it | 04:40 |
Concretesledge | pestilence: could i install and alt-tab to talk in here? | 04:40 |
cellofellow | Concretesledge: use the Alternate (text) install CD. | 04:41 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: i don't think gutsy's live cd has it. and i kind of doubt that hardy has it either | 04:41 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: from google: http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-install-ubuntu-over-lvm-filesystem | 04:41 |
tritium | sk8ball: alacarte is installed by default | 04:41 |
madman5402 | so dose any know any thing about azureus | 04:41 |
Nasra | amenado: I do like linux....had I known this before .....would have been a good swimer by now..... | 04:42 |
pestilence | Concretesledge: but with that, i'd say good luck...i have to go to bed. | 04:42 |
bazhang | madman5402: yes | 04:42 |
cellofellow | madman5402: a small amount | 04:42 |
Nasra | amenado: things to learn more ofter is all these commands....and how to relate works being done like I used to in windows.....oh loll.... | 04:42 |
Concretesledge | haha | 04:43 |
sergio41 | hola | 04:43 |
Concretesledge | im not doing that. | 04:43 |
Concretesledge | later | 04:43 |
pppoe_dude | hi which program should I use to capture audio/video from a webcam/mic? | 04:43 |
Nasra | amenado: one site I frequent alot is ----> www.linuxbasics.org is just beautiful.... | 04:44 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> i need to know how to install azureus | 04:44 |
cellofellow | madman5402: sudo aptitude install azureus | 04:44 |
bazhang | madman5402: sudo apt-get installl packagename | 04:44 |
cellofellow | madman5402: also there is a newer version available on GetDeb.net | 04:45 |
Jordan_U | pppoe_dude, cheeze is a very simple program, I am sure there is something better but it works | 04:47 |
pppoe_dude | Jordan_U, does it take audio too? where does it save files | 04:47 |
Nasra | Jordan_U | 04:47 |
zalker | vlc player can play audio | 04:47 |
pppoe_dude | hmm yes vlc can record stuff too | 04:48 |
Jordan_U | pppoe_dude, It takes audio with video only ( afik ), probably not what you want, just throwing it out there | 04:48 |
Zoris | is configuring compiz different in 8.04? Because I can't seem to get it to work the same way as in 7.10 | 04:48 |
cellofellow | pppoe_dude: for audio-only, use audacity. | 04:48 |
pppoe_dude | i want audio/video | 04:49 |
Jordan_U | !hardy | Zambezi | 04:49 |
ubotu | Zambezi: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 04:49 |
bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please Zoris | 04:49 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> hey thanks man | 04:49 |
bazhang | no worries ;] | 04:49 |
Zoris | okay, thanks | 04:49 |
rayman | hey guys im horrible at irc how can i get to a server i want | 04:49 |
rayman | i need to get to irc.eqemulator.net | 04:49 |
rayman | what commands shall i use =) | 04:49 |
Starnestommy | rayman: /server new.server | 04:49 |
rayman | thanks chief | 04:50 |
kindofabuzz_ | if my NM says 24Mb/s and i'm transfering a file from the server to my clint i should be getting more than 1.5Mb/s right? | 04:50 |
kindofabuzz_ | client* | 04:50 |
turbough | hello everybody | 04:50 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: is the first one megabytes or megabits? | 04:50 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: by NM you mean NetworkManager? | 04:51 |
kindofabuzz_ | Mb | 04:51 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: yes | 04:51 |
abel | test... | 04:51 |
bazhang | success! | 04:51 |
abel | hi... | 04:51 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: the second number, 1.5MBps, sounds right in the ballpark of 24Mbps. | 04:51 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> | 04:51 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: capital B is Bytes, lower b is bits. | 04:51 |
bazhang | yes madman5402 | 04:52 |
kindofabuzz_ | what is MiB? | 04:52 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> so where do i go after it is done installing | 04:52 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: Megabytes. | 04:52 |
abel | can u help me? | 04:52 |
JohnMM | kindofabuzz_, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte | 04:52 |
hischild | abel, yes we probably can. What is the problem? | 04:52 |
JohnMM | cellofellow, no a MiB is different | 04:52 |
cyntek | I installed ffmpeg by using add/remove app, I recieve an error: I/O error occured. when converting avi to vcd. has anyone run into this problem.? | 04:52 |
bazhang | abel only if you ask a specific question | 04:52 |
kindofabuzz_ | so 1.5MiB is close to 24Mb? | 04:53 |
abel | i can't play my mp3 file.. | 04:53 |
cellofellow | JohnMM: what's a MiB then? | 04:53 |
hischild | abel, do you get an error? | 04:53 |
bazhang | madman5402: go? to launch azureues you mean? should we in the applications folder or you can type azureus in the alt f2 window | 04:53 |
JohnMM | cellofellow, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte | 04:53 |
abel | yes... | 04:53 |
hischild | abel, when you try and play an mp3 file, it will most likely give you a popup box asking you if you would like to install a package. Do you see this screen? | 04:54 |
kindofabuzz_ | see i'm using bmon to check network speed, it's showing 1,5MiB | 04:54 |
bazhang | abel install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:54 |
cyntek | I installed ffmpeg by using add/remove app, I recieve an error: I/O error occured. when converting avi to vcd. has anyone run into this problem.? | 04:54 |
abel | the message is "the file isn't support" some thing likes that... | 04:54 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> | 04:54 |
Bacta | how can I get a direct path name using find? | 04:54 |
kindofabuzz_ | so MiB = MB? | 04:54 |
JohnMM | a MiB is essentially a MB, it's just a more accurate way of representing a MB | 04:55 |
JohnMM | essentially | 04:55 |
hischild | abel, alright. Did you see the message from bazhang saying that you should install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 04:55 |
cellofellow | JohnMM: looks like a MiB is what a Megabyte is Supposed to be. | 04:55 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> like what do i do to open azureus | 04:55 |
cellofellow | ok | 04:55 |
JohnMM | yeah, it is pretty much, just a bit more accurate | 04:55 |
cabrioleur | Bacta find --whatever whatever | grep name | 04:55 |
astro76 | kindofabuzz_: MiB was created to solve the problems that technically the SI definition of Mega is 1000, and also that hard drive manufacturers really like the 1000 definition, whereas in computers Mega usually meant 1024 | 04:55 |
kindofabuzz_ | ok so, is 1.5Mib good for a 24Mb connection? | 04:55 |
abel | where can i get the source...? | 04:55 |
bazhang | madman5402: alt f2 type azureus in the window | 04:55 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: 1.5MiB/s is 1/8 the Mb/s speed. | 04:55 |
JohnMM | yep Asfaloth | 04:55 |
Bacta | no no | 04:55 |
kindofabuzz_ | MiB i mean | 04:55 |
Bacta | i type find xjc | 04:55 |
JohnMM | * astro76 | 04:56 |
Bacta | and i get bin/xjc | 04:56 |
Bacta | i want the direct path to xjc | 04:56 |
kindofabuzz_ | i'm confused lol | 04:56 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: 1.5MiB/s is 12Mb/s. | 04:56 |
hischild | abel, you don't need the source for that. If you open up a terminal, you can type the following in to install it: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:56 |
abel | for the information... i'm using ubuntu 5 | 04:56 |
kindofabuzz_ | ok, so not to good then | 04:56 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: so, it's using half the speed. | 04:56 |
hischild | cellofellow, don't forget overhead ont hat | 04:56 |
Pickles | Im having a hard time updating my flash player for FireFox and Opera, anyone have a few min. they can spare? PM me. | 04:56 |
RioMerc | Hello #Ubuntu! I have a question about printer drivers. I have a Canon Pixma MP170, which is not listed on the printers drivers menu of Ubuntu. I've tried the gutenprint drivers to no success, and before going ahead with more drivers I wanted to search for solutions. So far, I've found an excessivley long tutorial that seems to have a 40% userbase who can testify it's worked for MP170s. I want to know if anyone can suggest any dr | 04:56 |
RioMerc | ivers to use, or to break it to me and just admit there's no way that I'm going to ever print anything in ubuntu short of buying a new printer. | 04:56 |
RioMerc | Whoa, that was long | 04:56 |
kindofabuzz_ | and why is it only 24Mb, when my card and router can do 54Mb? | 04:56 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> awesome | 04:56 |
cellofellow | hischild: 12Mbps on a 24Mbps connection doesn't take in overhead? | 04:56 |
bazhang | abel that is no longer supported; upgrade to something more recent | 04:56 |
hischild | abel, then it would be better to upgrade most likely. That one is no longer officially supported. | 04:57 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: signal quality/strength. | 04:57 |
kindofabuzz_ | yeah i don't have the best signal | 04:57 |
hischild | cellofellow, the connection itself would probably carry some overhead | 04:57 |
abel | okey.... | 04:57 |
kindofabuzz_ | NM shows 43% | 04:57 |
abel | thanks for all guys.... | 04:57 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: mine will drop to 5Mb/s when I'm at a distance. | 04:57 |
bazhang | aha | 04:57 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: that sounds right. | 04:57 |
kindofabuzz_ | so i guess it's ok then, i was freaking out | 04:57 |
RioMerc | Hmm | 04:57 |
RioMerc | Isn't MiB completley unrelated to Mbs? | 04:58 |
RioMerc | Must wiki this. | 04:58 |
kindofabuzz_ | except why isn't it supporting 54Mb? like it should be? | 04:58 |
RioMerc | And there goes all my reliability in information :| | 04:58 |
Pickles | How do you update a flash player if its .tar.gz and extracted to my desktop? | 04:58 |
Pickles | Anyone got any ideas | 04:58 |
Pickles | ? | 04:58 |
cabron | Hello... I'm trying to unpack a .rar file. When I run sudo apt-get for unrar, though, I get the following error: | 04:58 |
cabron | "Package unrar is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 04:58 |

turbough | I am trying to remotely install ubuntu over a fedora core 7 system which came on a dedicated server. i used the swap space to make a chroot environment using the debootstrap util but when i chroot to it none of the hard drives are registered in the /dev directory | 04:58 |
rayman | star you still there? | 04:58 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: yeah i was using bmon | 04:58 |
vehicle | does ubuntu server come with a gui? | 04:59 |
RioMerc | Pickles: Is it source? You may have to compile it yourself or find a autoinstall script | 04:59 |
kindofabuzz_ | netsped in the repos? | 04:59 |
cellofellow | RioMerc: not completely unrelated. MB is in bytes, which are 8 bits. | 04:59 |
kindofabuzz_ | netspeed | 04:59 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: yup | 04:59 |
bazhang | madman5402: you need to port forward; best to log into your router and set it there | 04:59 |
RioMerc | And MiB? | 04:59 |
Starnestommy | rayman: if you're referring to me, yes | 04:59 |
rayman | im trying to get to irc.eqemulator.net guys...but with no luck... how should i type it in ? | 04:59 |
GEIS | how do i partition the rest of sda freespace to sdb so that i combines and form partition / ? | 04:59 |
cellofellow | RioMerc: a MiB is 1024^2 bytes. | 04:59 |
hischild | turbough, you have to mount the /dev in the chroot env | 04:59 |
rayman | yes star i am sorry for the confusion | 04:59 |
Pickles | RioMerc: any idea how to compile it myself >_<? | 04:59 |
astro76 | RioMerc: MiB = MB, MiB hasn't really been completely accepted | 04:59 |
madman5402 | <bazhang> ok will do thanks | 04:59 |
cabron | Hi... I need some help unpacking a .rar file. | 04:59 |
RioMerc | astro76: Explains why I have no concept in it. | 04:59 |
astro76 | RioMerc: indeed ;) | 05:00 |
RioMerc | Pickles: I have little to no idea | 05:00 |
cellofellow | RioMerc: MiB is used sometimes to difference from the tendency for companies to label Megabytes as 1000^2 bytes. | 05:00 |
Svenstaro | hey everyone, can I somehow tell ubuntu NOT to write grub into my MBR when installing? | 05:00 |
Svenstaro | cabron, sure wahts up? | 05:00 |
abel | lets get a lunch guys... | 05:00 |
kindofabuzz_ | cabron: right click and hit extract here =) | 05:00 |
astro76 | Svenstaro: with the alternate install cd you can | 05:00 |
astro76 | not sure with desktop cd | 05:00 |
turbough | hischild: i have never mounted a /dev before i thought they were special files stored on a regular filesystem | 05:00 |
cabron | Sven - I tried to install unrar, but I get an error when doing so... | 05:00 |
RioMerc | Pickles: Try googling for tutorials on packaging, or checking the man inside the tar.gz if there's one | 05:00 |
Svenstaro | astro76, thanks for getting this positive, I supposed I could with the alternate, ill go ahead installing it | 05:00 |
busan | asalamungalaikum | 05:01 |
RioMerc | or try waiting for someone more skilled than me to answer | 05:01 |
Svenstaro | cabron, whats the error? | 05:01 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: does netspeed not create a menu item? no biggie just wondering | 05:01 |
Svenstaro | cabron, it might not be related to the package at all | 05:01 |
RioMerc | I'd like to repaste my question for another potshot attempt, but I'm worried about flooding rules. It's an incredibly long question :P | 05:01 |
cabron | If I try to use the default "extract" tool it says "archive type not supported" | 05:01 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: it creates an item in the "Add item..." dialog for the panel. | 05:01 |
RioMerc | <RioMerc> Hello #Ubuntu! I have a question about printer drivers. I have a Canon Pixma MP170, which is not listed on the printers drivers menu of Ubuntu. I've tried the gutenprint drivers to no success, and before going ahead with more drivers I wanted to search for solutions. So far, I've found an excessivley long tutorial that seems to have a 40% userbase who can testify it's worked for MP170s. I want to know if anyone can sugg | 05:02 |
RioMerc | est any dr | 05:02 |
RioMerc | <RioMerc> ivers to use, or to break it to me and just admit there's no way that I'm going to ever print anything in ubuntu short of buying a new printer. | 05:02 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: "Add to Panel" rather. | 05:02 |
vehicle | question, if i install ubuntu server, then run 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' is that completley pointless? | 05:02 |
Svenstaro | cabron, we're talking the gnome version of the extract tool? ore the kde one? | 05:02 |
RioMerc | Heh | 05:02 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: netspeed in term don't work | 05:02 |
kindofabuzz_ | oh ok | 05:02 |
hischild | turbough, that is correct. If you ever installed gentoo you'll also have to mount the /dev into your chroot env. mount -o bind /dev /chrootenvdevdir | 05:02 |
cabron | Ummm.... I'm pretty new. How do I tell which one I have? | 05:02 |
Svenstaro | cabron, at any rate, you might also have to install "rar" | 05:02 |
hischild | turbough, in short: the /dev folder itself is ok. The chroot dir just doesn't see it, unless you mount it. | 05:02 |
Svenstaro | cabron, did you use ubuntu or kubuntu? | 05:02 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: network monitor? | 05:02 |
kindofabuzz_ | i have 2 | 05:02 |
xb3rt | RioMerc: I've got a Canon IP90, having the same problem | 05:02 |
astro76 | cabron: you are using the gnome version, and yes it's because you need to install unrar, which you are currently having problems doing | 05:03 |
cabron | Oh, okay. How do I go about that? I have Ubuntu 7.10 | 05:03 |
turbough | hischild: so i have to do that before i chroot into the new environment? | 05:03 |
xb3rt | iP90 | 05:03 |
RioMerc | Heh | 05:03 |
hischild | turbough, yes. | 05:03 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: there's two of them. One, when selected, says it's netspeed. | 05:03 |
RioMerc | xb3rt: The woes of us poor Unsupported canon-ers | 05:03 |
turbough | hischild: thank you :) | 05:03 |
Svenstaro | cabron, and to make it easier to read for me what you write in this populated channel, please put my name in front of your message, it will be highlighted for me as it does for you | 05:03 |
xb3rt | RioMerc: Should we start a class-act on linux | 05:03 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: got it | 05:03 |
Svenstaro | cabron, in a terminal type "sudo apt-get install rar unrar" without quotes | 05:03 |
hischild | turbough, according to what i'm reading from the gentoo guide you also should mount the /proc folder | 05:04 |
M4rotku | I'm having a problem with my hardware configurations, can anyone help? | 05:04 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, whats the matteR? | 05:04 |
cellofellow | cabron: you need Multiverse enabled. ;) | 05:04 |
RioMerc | xb3rt: Don't feel too bad, I've also got an ATI card, Dual screens and both of them are 17' that are only VGA, they needs VGA-DVI converters to work with this card. I'm about the most unsupported person around | 05:04 |
Svenstaro | cellofellow, is it not enabled by default? | 05:04 |
turbough | hischild: yeah. i mounted the proc dir from inside the chroot environment | 05:04 |
kindofabuzz_ | so does ubuntu not support 54Mb network speed? | 05:04 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: I installed an update from the update manager and it wrote over the configurations for my speakers and for my wireless card | 05:04 |
cabron | <Svenstaro> "Package rar is not available, but is referred to by another package..." | 05:04 |
xb3rt | RioMerc: how does it feel? :-) | 05:04 |
cellofellow | Svenstaro: not that I know of. | 05:05 |
ibback | m4rotku. How may i help. Pls be more specific? | 05:05 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: works for me. What wifi card? | 05:05 |
gauze_ | kindofabuzz_: sure it does | 05:05 |
cabrioleur | kindofabuzz_, it does. | 05:05 |
RioMerc | ATI Card + MP170 (Canon) printer + Crappy Screens = One day of getting everything to be recognised properly, before you can actually do serious modification | 05:05 |
hischild | turbough, ok. | 05:05 |
Svenstaro | cabron, as cellofellow mentioned, you need to open synaptic "sudo synaptic" and activate all repositories in the options | 05:05 |
hischild | turbough, good luck on the reinstall :-) | 05:05 |
cabron | <cellofellow> I'm pretty sure that I have multiverse enabled, but still no go... | 05:05 |
RioMerc | xb3rt: It feels odd. It's frustrating to be unsupported, but it's fun to hunt like crazy for solutions | 05:05 |
kindofabuzz_ | linksys wmp54gs with a linksys wrt54gs w/ dd-wrt | 05:05 |
busan | how to install new font on linux | 05:05 |
Svenstaro | cabron, then update the packages "sudo apt-get update" and try again to install it | 05:05 |
cellofellow | cabron: no, hold that thought, the command is wrong. | 05:05 |
M4rotku | ibback: I think i overwrote my configuration files for my sound card and wireless card | 05:05 |
xb3rt | RioMerc: at least you'll learn from the experience | 05:06 |
astro76 | !fonts | busan | 05:06 |
vehicle | doesn anyone here know anything about ubuntu server?? | 05:06 |
kindofabuzz_ | wireless | 05:06 |
ubotu | busan: Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer | 05:06 |
hischild | vehicle, if you ask the question, perhaps we do | 05:06 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, so you want your old config back i assume? | 05:06 |
kindofabuzz_ | i guess i'm only getting 24Mb/s cause of my signal | 05:06 |
RioMerc | xb3rt: Yeah, Nvidia, 19' Single screen and a shitty Epson for me from now on | 05:06 |
turbough | hischild: thanks. i'm looking forward to having ubuntu! | 05:06 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: yes, that is what i'm looking for | 05:06 |
kindofabuzz_ | then i only get half of that! lol | 05:06 |
tcpdumpgod | good turbough | 05:06 |
cellofellow | cabron: `gksudo software-properties-gtk` is the command. | 05:06 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, was it done through apt-get? | 05:06 |
vehicle | if i install ubuntu-desktop on top of server is that completley pointless? | 05:06 |
xb3rt | RioMerc: I might try dual screening in the near future, are you able to mouse from one to the other? | 05:07 |
RioMerc | If you set it up right | 05:07 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: it was done with the update manager, i'm using the hardy heron developement release | 05:07 |
Svenstaro | vehicle, yes, you might as well ahve installed ubuntu desktop | 05:07 |
RioMerc | I just recently got fglrx to FINALLY work | 05:07 |
hischild | vehicle, it would not be pointless. I would only wonder why you wouln't install the desktop one in the first place. | 05:07 |
RioMerc | I have to configure BigDesktop today, I'll tell you how it goes | 05:07 |
RioMerc | :P | 05:07 |
xb3rt | RioMerc: What distro are you on | 05:07 |
RioMerc | Ubuntu 7.10 | 05:07 |
kindofabuzz_ | is there a utility to tweak network card setttings? | 05:07 |
cabron | <cellofellow> Yes, multiverse has a check mark next to it | 05:07 |
RioMerc | Infact, I think I'll tackle dualies now | 05:07 |
vehicle | i'm trying to set up a file server that i can access on the internet | 05:07 |
ibback | m4rotku. Have you try to uninstall it using synaptic by selecting "Mark for Complete Removal" this option will remove also whatever user configuration file. Try it | 05:07 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, okay, which files were affected? | 05:07 |
hischild | vehicle, you can do that as well via the desktop one. | 05:08 |
Svenstaro | ibback, he wants HIS old config back | 05:08 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: my hardware configuration files, my sound card is not detected | 05:08 |
vehicle | is the lack of efficiency going to be noticable? | 05:08 |
hischild | vehicle, no | 05:08 |
Svenstaro | vehicle, most likely not at all | 05:08 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, ah which sound card? | 05:08 |
M4rotku | ibback: i don't know which package it was | 05:08 |
vehicle | is server only command line? | 05:08 |
ibback | Svenstaro!. ic..i hope he got backup otherwise me think it dead meat | 05:08 |
cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: even when I'm running at 54Mbps, I sometimes only get like 5MBps on LAN file transfers. I think the hard drive is the bottleneck. | 05:08 |
hischild | vehicle, the desktop and server one use the same stuff. The only difference is that the server doesn't contain a GUI on install. | 05:08 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: it is a realtek, that is all i know | 05:09 |
xb3rt | Where does firefox store all of its bookmarked websites that are under the favorites tab | 05:09 |
vehicle | hrm.. alright | 05:09 |
Svenstaro | vehicle, yes CLI only | 05:09 |
vehicle | thanks guys | 05:09 |
Svenstaro | np | 05:09 |
kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: yeah my hard drives suck, old computer | 05:09 |
cellofellow | M4rotku: realtek wireless? I have that. | 05:09 |
kindofabuzz_ | p4 1.5ghz | 05:09 |
M4rotku | cellofellow: i thought realtek was the speakers, my wireless is, well, idk | 05:09 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, good, no creative one. You *could* try to get alsa installed instead of pulseaudio, it might work then | 05:09 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: it stores the websites in ~/.mozilla/firefox/somejunk.default/bookmarks.html | 05:10 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: i use alsa as far as i know | 05:10 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, if you havent installed otherwise, you use pulseaudio which is now standard for heron | 05:10 |
Svenstaro | if im not completely off that is | 05:10 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: so it stores all of them in that bookmarks.html file | 05:10 |
cellofellow | M4rotku: sorry, typed before I spoke. I've had some trouble with my wifi card but got it fixed. | 05:10 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: yup | 05:10 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: in that case i guess i don't have alsa | 05:11 |
eigma | anyone know what files are added by gdm in /etc/event.d? | 05:11 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: but the sound worked before i installed this update | 05:11 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, if your system is new enough for toying around, you might try to just install alsa | 05:11 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, ah I see | 05:11 |
cellofellow | M4rotku: ALSA is drivers and a sound API. PulseAudio is a sound server. Runs on top of ALSA. | 05:11 |
hischild | what is the easiest way to connect via nautilus on an ubuntu <--> ubuntu home network? | 05:11 |
RioMerc | We;; | 05:12 |
RioMerc | Wish me luck, I'm going to try to install my dualies | 05:12 |
cellofellow | hischild: I use ssh://, but setting up Samba may work too. | 05:12 |
=== BeBoo_ is now known as BeBoo |
Svenstaro | hischild, most likely samba or NFS | 05:12 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: that file was actually something different, im looking for the location of the webpages under my bookmarks tab of the Tool bar | 05:13 |
cellofellow | hischild: I don't think Nautilus does NFS. AFAIK, NFS is implemented in the kernel and with /etc/fstab. | 05:13 |
M4rotku | Svenstaro: i gtg, thanks for your help, if you think of anything, i have a thread going on ubuntuforums.org so you could contact me there | 05:13 |
hischild | Svenstaro, cellofellow, alright. The problem i'm having with it, is that ssh and sftp keep timing out on it and i don't see a problem, since i can ssh from one to the other. | 05:13 |
Svenstaro | M4rotku, alright, good luck | 05:13 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: that is where the bookmarks are stored, though. I'm confused now. | 05:13 |
Svenstaro | cellofellow, hischild, you could always mount it to /media and then easily access with nautilus | 05:14 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: check it out, its just a file for the ubuntu help page bookmarks | 05:14 |
kindofabuzz_ | if anyone has the problem of cursor theme changing to default when hovering over desktop or panels, then back again in apss, i have the solution. finally figured it out | 05:14 |
kindofabuzz_ | apps* | 05:14 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: not mine. Has all of my bookmarks. | 05:14 |
hischild | Svenstaro, this is NFS we're talking about? If so, them i'm interested in hearing more about it. Do you have a link or would you mind guiding me through it? | 05:15 |
=== Ziroda1 is now known as JFerret |
Svenstaro | hischild, its real easy, were talking about 7.10? | 05:15 |
JFerret | Can someone help me get LIRC and my remote to work please | 05:15 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: maybe you are using a different bookmarks system. Google Toolbar's bookmarks, maybe? | 05:15 |
hischild | Svenstaro, one is 7,10, the other 8,04. The one that would act as server, is the 7,10 | 05:15 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: I've got the bookmark toolbar along with my bookmark tab on the top window | 05:16 |
cellofellow | oh, the bookmark tab | 05:16 |
cellofellow | toolbar | 05:16 |
cellofellow | whatever... | 05:16 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: yea | 05:16 |
kindofabuzz_ | what's the point of swap if it's never used? i've opened almost everything i can think of to see if it would get used, my system never touched it | 05:16 |
Svenstaro | hischild, in the one that acts as the server, open /etc/exports with some editor and put the following in there: /home 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw) | 05:16 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: this is the built in toolbar, not an extension? | 05:16 |
cabrioleur | kindofabuzz_, suspend to swap, hibernation... | 05:16 |
Svenstaro | hischild, of course, change ip and path and even subnet as needed | 05:16 |
kindofabuzz_ | oh, well hib and suspend don't work either lol | 05:17 |
Svenstaro | hischild, be careful to leave a .0 at the end of the ip for the subnet mask to work of course | 05:17 |
cabrioleur | kindofabuzz_, and in case you do need it. And believe me, Linux is nuts when it's out of swap space. | 05:17 |
kindofabuzz_ | but mine is never touched | 05:17 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: you know what i mean, the one thats up alongside file, edit, and the other options....It says bookmarks, and you click it and it shows a list of all your saved pages | 05:17 |
hischild | Svenstaro, the subnet is ok, the ip is slightly different. The /home is the folder going to be shared? Also, that file doesn't exist, thus i should create it? | 05:17 |
Svenstaro | hischild, yes and yes | 05:18 |
hischild | Svenstaro, and that ip should be the server one? | 05:18 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: that the bookmarks.html file. I promise. The toolbar is a folder in that. | 05:18 |
kindofabuzz_ | i wish i could get suspend to work | 05:18 |
Svenstaro | hischild, the one for the client or client range which is allowed to access the share | 05:18 |
hischild | Svenstaro, alright, done | 05:18 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: click "Organize Bookmarks..." in the Bookmarks menu. | 05:18 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: im looking at it, and its not their | 05:18 |
Svenstaro | hischild, on the client, go to /etc/fstab and paste this onto a new line "<server>:</path/of/dir> </local/mnt/point> nfs <options> 0 0" w/o quotes | 05:19 |
Svenstaro | hischild, and of course change as needed | 05:19 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: in ~/.mozilla/firefox, are there any folders besides the one that has .default in it? | 05:19 |
Svenstaro | hischild, I suggest you create the local mnt point in /media so you can easily access it in nautilus | 05:19 |
strikerfalcon | is this where the helpful people are? | 05:19 |
hischild | Svenstaro, that is what i planned to do | 05:20 |
Svenstaro | sometimes, strikerfalcon | 05:20 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: ive got /profile and /pref | 05:20 |
hischild | strikerfalcon, if you got a question, then ask :-) that's the best way to find out | 05:20 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: huh? | 05:20 |
=== BeBoo is now known as BeBoo_ |
xb3rt | cellofellow: those are the two directories under the firefox folder | 05:20 |
strikerfalcon | Ive been searching and scratching to find out why my dvd player is not found and no threads have been helpful | 05:21 |
hischild | Svenstaro, alright one last question: the path/of/dir on fstab should be the same as the one on exports? | 05:21 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: maybe im looking in a completely differnt firefox folder | 05:21 |
strikerfalcon | anyone dealt with this problem? | 05:21 |
kindofabuzz_ | !suspend | 05:21 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 05:21 |
hischild | strikerfalcon, can you be a bit more specific? Does it give you an error? Does it complain about something? | 05:22 |
Svenstaro | hischild, yes | 05:22 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: maybe use the filesearch to look for more files named bookmarks.html, because that IS where firefox stores the bookmarks. You've probably got the wrong one. | 05:22 |
strikerfalcon | hold on.. let me make it error real quick | 05:22 |
Svenstaro | hischild, I forgot to mention, on the server you ahve to run "exportfs -a" | 05:22 |
cellofellow | xb3rt: try this `locate bookmarks.html` | 05:23 |
hischild | cellofellow, xb3rt, AFAIK it's in ~/.mozilla/firefox/insertwierdlettersfolder/bookmarks.html | 05:23 |
hischild | Svenstaro, alright will do. | 05:23 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: found it, was in the wrong dir | 05:23 |
Svenstaro | hischild, well run mount -a on the client and hope :) | 05:23 |
xb3rt | cellofellow: theirs two files named that | 05:23 |
hischild | Svenstaro, seem to be missing nfs-kernel-server ... installing =) (with the chance of writing it all over again) | 05:24 |
strikerfalcon | totem says "i may not have permission" when I put in a video dvd | 05:24 |
Svenstaro | hischild, Oh i thought that one got installed by default, well better make backups of your files | 05:24 |
samuel | sup all | 05:24 |
Svenstaro | yo samiam | 05:24 |
Svenstaro | yo samuel, imean | 05:24 |
cha0s | can anyone tell me why this command doesn't work (in a script) | 05:25 |
cha0s | new_src=`echo "$fb_src" | sed s_./_"$2"/_` | 05:25 |
samuel | anyone know if there is something similar to fedora's server management tools in ubuntu? | 05:25 |
cha0s | result: sed: -e expression #1, char 5: unterminated `s' command | 05:25 |
hischild | Svenstaro, ofcourse we have backups. It's second nature of a linux user to have backups. We make backups so easy we don't even remember where we put them ... wait ... where did i put that file again? | 05:25 |
cha0s | it appears $2 isn't evaluating before sed is called | 05:25 |
hischild | Svenstaro, it gave me an option :-) it's done | 05:25 |
nikrud | samuel probably ebox is what you're looking for | 05:26 |
Svenstaro | hischild, nice, succes? | 05:26 |

nikrud | fismoll8 got some terminals open? | 05:28 |
xTheGoat121x | Evening all. I noticed that Nautilus organizes my music out of order | 05:28 |
jumbers | Are there any programs available to bruteforce the password on a .RAR file that I lost the password to? | 05:28 |
samuel | nikrud: ebox is web-based, im looking for something gtk based, any ideas? | 05:28 |
JFerret | Can someone help me get LIRC and my remote to work please | 05:28 |
nikrud | samuel no, I generally do stuff with the command line | 05:28 |
egc | nm, i see it. "psnup" | 05:28 |
Svenstaro | hischild, doesnt it default to subtree? | 05:28 |
nikrud | samuel not that I do a lot of server configging, soI don't need much | 05:29 |
fismoll8 | sorry, I got logged out. Does anyone know why my user name comes up 3 times when I type in finger? | 05:29 |
nikrud | fismoll8 got some terminals open? | 05:29 |
fismoll8 | just one | 05:29 |
samuel | nikrud: so do i, but i would like to stop have a gtk tool to do simple changes | 05:29 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, ah, now I noticed something odd with my finger... it shows a 3rd login, that isn't my username at all. | 05:29 |
hischild | Svenstaro, this isn't something i know much about so i can't answer that question .. | 05:29 |
Svenstaro | hischild, put this onto the exports string "(rw,no_root_squash,async)" | 05:30 |
cha0s | nvm, i solved it... $2 contained an underscore! | 05:30 |
Svenstaro | hischild and run exportfs -a again | 05:30 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x fismoll8 all I get is my X login (tty7) and the terminal I do finger in (pts/0) | 05:30 |
Svenstaro | hischild just in case also issue sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart | 05:30 |
fismoll8 | same here, but I also get *pts/1 | 05:30 |
fismoll8 | along with my username | 05:31 |
hischild | Svenstaro, alright that's a whole list, Give me a min to do it | 05:31 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, hmmm that's not good. | 05:31 |
nikrud | fismoll8 fismoll8 try lsof | grep pts/1 | 05:31 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x what's the username? | 05:32 |
stefan__ | Hi I'm a noobie and I need help to get my x fi sound card working with linux. | 05:32 |

fismoll8 | nikrud: nothing happens | 05:33 |
Sefyroth | Hi guys, I have a little problem when I try to run the installer for Ubuntu Server 7.10. After choosing my keyboard layout, it says it's looking for my cdrom drive and then tells me it can't find the drivers. Any idea? | 05:33 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x do you have a user e ? | 05:33 |
Sefyroth | I succeeded in installing Ubuntu regular edition before. | 05:33 |
hischild | Svenstaro, this is odd. If i do this from the command line (exportfs -o rw 192.168.2.5:/home/iositd) it does work. Also, it still complains, yet when running exportfs without options it does show up. | 05:33 |
nikrud | fismoll8 I did that with pts/0 , got the processes using that pts | 05:34 |
Svenstaro | hischild, uhm | 05:34 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, nope. The odd thing, it doesn't show as being logged in to anything... like I have my user on both TTY7 and PTS/0 but e doesn't have anything listed next to it | 05:34 |
agung | hhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiii | 05:34 |
hischild | Svenstaro, man is a mighty tool sometimes ... :p | 05:34 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x and I don't know why that would be happening. Very suspicious on the face of it. | 05:34 |
fismoll8 | ok nikrud...same here | 05:35 |
Svenstaro | hischild, man can be a mighty fool as well :) | 05:35 |
hischild | Svenstaro, oh that's true as well, though i try to make the best of it ;-) | 05:35 |
fismoll8 | thanks nikrud---I think everything is fine | 05:35 |
Svenstaro | hischild, anyway, everything working now? | 05:35 |
hischild | Svenstaro, not yet. Client can't seem to connect | 05:35 |
fismoll8 | I think every time you open a terminal or a program, you get another iteration of your username | 05:35 |
nikrud | fismoll8 I'm glad you think so. I've never seen anything not obvious in a finger or who | 05:36 |
hischild | Svenstaro, according to the error it's a faulty file system selection so i'm guessing i'm missing a package | 05:36 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, agreed. If I type "who" I only get two listings. | 05:36 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, the right ones, too. | 05:36 |
nikrud | fismoll8 yes, you do. pts/1 , 2 , 3 etc for each term. That's why I asked if you had any open. Should have 3, if you have 2 terms open | 05:36 |
Svenstaro | hischild, on the server do this sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap | 05:37 |
hagoth | oops | 05:37 |
Svenstaro | hischild, on the client do sudo apt-get install portmap nfs-common | 05:37 |
xb3rt | I found the file I want to get to, /home/brett/.mozilla/firefox/jbkvm7gy.default/bookmarks.html but I can't find it anywhere | 05:37 |

hischild | Svenstaro, that seems to give some stuff to install client side | 05:38 |
kindofabuzz_ | hsichild: you doing NFS? | 05:38 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, correct | 05:38 |
kindofabuzz_ | i just did it on mine: best guide i found: http://digen.wordpress.com/2006/04/28/configuring-nfs-server/ | 05:38 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, Svenstaro, and i just succeeded. Awesome | 05:38 |
kindofabuzz_ | yeah it's pretty easy | 05:39 |
Svenstaro | hischild, it be working? :) | 05:39 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, it is, once you know how to do it. | 05:39 |
hischild | Svenstaro, yes it is. :-) | 05:39 |
Svenstaro | hischild \o/ | 05:39 |
kindofabuzz_ | i gave up on samba, screw the windows on my network lol | 05:39 |
hischild | Svenstaro, \../. _o_ .\../ is more my thing ;-) | 05:40 |
Svenstaro | :) | 05:40 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, i never bothered to try samba as it's a thing for windows which i'm trying to avoid ;-) | 05:40 |
Svenstaro | hischild I'm a bit more on the conservative site concerning emoticons | 05:40 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, I've noticed something else.... does Nautilus not take into consideration dashes in filenames? Because my entire music collection is set up as | 05:40 |
* Svenstaro likes samba | 05:40 |
hischild | Svenstaro, i understand. But a metal fan has to do what a metal fan has to do | 05:40 |
kindofabuzz_ | hischild: yeah i got samba working to where the windows could see the shares but i couldn't log onto them! | 05:40 |
xTheGoat121x | <Artist> - <Title> yet it still screws up the order | 05:40 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, last time i tried i got the same effect from ubuntu -> windows | 05:41 |
sstoveld | hi everyone | 05:41 |
Svenstaro | hischild, I have yet to get to know one single linux user who listens to hiphop | 05:41 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x screws up the order? what do you mean? You get a different sort order in the terminal than in nautilus? | 05:41 |
kindofabuzz_ | Svenstaro: hehe | 05:41 |
Svenstaro | kindofabuzz_, you have to reboot windows everytime you want to try out a new samba config | 05:41 |
Peddy | can someone please tell me if the easy-access audio ports at the front of my PC are worse quality than the ones at the back? | 05:42 |
nikrud | Svenstaro you gotta be kidding | 05:42 |
j_ | Hey, How many Bytes are in a BMP PIXEL????? | 05:42 |
kindofabuzz_ | Svenstaro: oh, not worth the trouble lol | 05:42 |
Svenstaro | Peddy, they are because of interference and cable length, but its doubtful you can hear the difference | 05:42 |
bullgard4 | "~$ xmodmap; xmodmap: up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):..." What considers the X Window System a 'modifier'? | 05:42 |
hischild | Svenstaro, i have to agree on that one ... most of the ones i know either listen to metal, alternative or some other non-mainstream style of music | 05:42 |
Svenstaro | hischild ALTERNATIVE all the way | 05:43 |
kindofabuzz_ | <--- jam-bands | 05:43 |
hischild | bullgard4, AFAIK the thing you're trying to make it execute. | 05:43 |
kindofabuzz_ | widespread panic! | 05:43 |
hischild | Svenstaro, kindofabuzz_, <-- gothic metal, viking metal, and all the likings off | 05:43 |
fk7_se | whats the best version of ubuntu for a older pc, such as a 1 ghz celeron machine | 05:43 |
bullgard4 | hischild: Your answer is too abstrect for me. Can you elaborate. | 05:43 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, well, as an example... I have a band in my collection called Red... their music is interrupted by several other bands, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, simply because the title half of the filename starts with an I, for example. | 05:43 |
Svenstaro | fk7_se, thats Xubuntu | 05:44 |
kindofabuzz_ | hischild: viking metal? lol what is that? | 05:44 |
memian | fk7_se, try xubuntu | 05:44 |
hischild | bullgard4, if you try to make it execute gedit, the modifier would be gedit afaik | 05:44 |
fk7_se | thanks | 05:44 |
Peddy | Svenstaro: so it still uses HD audio? | 05:44 |
fk7_se | thats good to hear because i already have a copy of it lol | 05:44 |
xb3rt | lets say I have ubuntu gutsy on my system and I want to dual boot with another linux distro live cd installation, what new partitions would I need, and how would I allow them to both use the same swap space | 05:44 |
kindofabuzz_ | i listen to bands that can actually play more than 3 chords | 05:44 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, ofcourse. Though i'm afraid we're getting offtopic here. Let's go to offtopic on this one. | 05:44 |
kindofabuzz_ | hehe sorry | 05:44 |
Peddy | Svenstaro: its onboard HD audio btw | 05:44 |
Svenstaro | Peddy, technically yes, but from an analog viewpoint your soundquality decreases | 05:44 |
kindofabuzz_ | well audio connection chat is off topic too! =) | 05:45 |
hischild | kindofabuzz_, no problem and i love to talk about it, just trying to avoid a warning ;-) | 05:45 |
memian | xb3rt, it will use any swap it finds, and if you want a persistent installation label one of your ext2-3 partition as casper-rw | 05:45 |
Svenstaro | xb3rt you only need one swapspace per computer, it can be used by all 100 linux distros you got installed | 05:45 |
Peddy | Svenstaro: ok, thanks :) and its not physically that far away, because my 'front' sound ports are not in 'front' in that sense. They are on top (closer to the mobo). | 05:45 |
fk7_se | will xubuntu run on a 486 | 05:46 |
Peddy | Svenstaro: am I off-topic? | 05:46 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x oh. I'd never looked at that. So you mean Red - Echo, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Some album, Red - Ideomatic , it would order like that? | 05:46 |
Svenstaro | Peddy, uhm, well it doesnt really concern Ubuntu what you asked, tho im still happy to help :) | 05:46 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, exactly, and it drives me crazy b/c I'm OCD about my music order. | 05:46 |
kindofabuzz_ | fk7_se: probably yeah, but would still be sloooow | 05:47 |
sstoveld | hey guys, im looking to install ubuntu for the first time. im a newb here, does it matter if i burn the iso to a DVD instead of a CD? im all out of CD's | 05:47 |
Svenstaro | fk7_se, I suppose it will, but you might want to use Damn Small Linux there | 05:47 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, it's like it doesn't have any respect for the dash that's in between the artist and title. | 05:47 |
fk7_se | i'll have to experiment with that | 05:47 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, no wont matter | 05:47 |
kindofabuzz_ | yeah just make that 486 a firewall or something | 05:47 |
hischild | sstoveld, no. I installed all my os from a dvd | 05:47 |
sstoveld | ok thanks | 05:47 |
memian | fk7_se, also try puppy linux | 05:47 |
fk7_se | damn small linux, just command line? | 05:47 |
kindofabuzz_ | fk7_se: yeah | 05:47 |
Svenstaro | fk7_se, no ,a powerful window manager is what you get | 05:47 |
fk7_se | thanks for the info i'll check into those | 05:47 |
kindofabuzz_ | oh | 05:47 |
kindofabuzz_ | used to be only cl | 05:48 |
Svenstaro | fk7_se, about any window manager will work on 486 | 05:48 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x I keep them in folders, so Red/Echo Ideomatic Red hot/album works for me. Make sure it does it as you expect in a terminal, and if nautilus is diifferent file it as a bug. The worst thing that will happen is you'll get a won't fix tag, and maybe an explanation | 05:48 |
memian | times are changing | 05:48 |
Peddy | Svenstrao: thanks my homie g | 05:48 |
Peddy | xD | 05:48 |
Svenstaro | Peddy np | 05:48 |
sstoveld | well this will be my first time installing ubuntu, anyone have a guide or anything that will have some helpful information for me? like is there anything i need to know before i install it? | 05:48 |
hischild | sstoveld, not really. Is there something you're worried about that might go wrong? | 05:48 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, are you curretnly using windows? | 05:48 |
kindofabuzz_ | fk7_se: MEPIS has a disro for old computers if you wanna stick with debian, starts with an X i think | 05:49 |
sstoveld | well i was, until my pc got all messed when i tried installing hellgate london | 05:49 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, ah, it does it the same way in Terminal. | 05:49 |
fk7_se | i would get another hard drive to swap in and out, until you set it up how you want | 05:49 |
sstoveld | so now it just keeps trying to boot, but i get BSOD at windows loading screen | 05:49 |
sstoveld | so i figure its time for a change | 05:49 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, lol, what a coincidence that you now want to try ubuntu | 05:49 |
=== dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, are you a gamer? | 05:49 |
sstoveld | yeah haha, and ive hear a lot of positive things about ubuntu | 05:50 |
nikrud | xTheGoat121x hm | 05:50 |
fk7_se | mepis, never heard of it, i will check it out | 05:50 |
sstoveld | not a big gamer really, hellgate london is the newest game i want to play | 05:50 |
kindofabuzz_ | yeah MEPIS is a debian child like ubuntu is | 05:50 |
sstoveld | but i do play some games | 05:50 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, let me check on linux compability, but quite honsetly, hellgate sucks :< | 05:50 |
sstoveld | haha, well i loved diablo, and i havent played it since i bought it a few months ago | 05:51 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, you are better off playing diablo, hellgate doesnt run on linux as far as I can judge looking at wineapps db and diablo 2 runs like a dream out of the box, and it OWNS | 05:51 |
kindofabuzz_ | you can probably get diablo running with DOSBOX | 05:51 |
xTheGoat121x | nikrud, yeah. | 05:51 |
Svenstaro | no need for dosbox | 05:51 |
sstoveld | lol ive never used or even seen any linux os, so im completely confused about whatever youre talking about | 05:52 |
cpk1 | anyone able to help me with hostap? I am having trouble getting clients to authenticate | 05:52 |
Smegzor | I can connect to XDMC from anywhere in my LAN but not from the internet. I suspect I need to edit hosts.allow and hosts.deny Is there anywhere else that might be blocking remote connections? I can SSH in from the internet. | 05:52 |
sstoveld | i read some of a guide about linux, ill read it later | 05:53 |
tgelter | so, I want to ssh into a box and launch an X application on that box...how do I do it? (yeah, I realize this is probably easy) | 05:53 |
fk7_se | alright i'm downloading a 97 mb iso for dsl, sound right | 05:53 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, no windows software runs natively on linux, it need to either be emulated or otherwise be made compatible, not all windows apps can be made to work on linux | 05:53 |
Smegzor | I have set up remote logins correctly in system/administration | 05:53 |
kindofabuzz_ | sstoveld: are you good with coomand line in windows? if so, forget everything you know about it, get ready for new stuff =) | 05:53 |
Svenstaro | tgelter, a simple "vncserver" does the job there for you | 05:53 |
tgelter | Svenstaro: no way through ssh? | 05:54 |
zewb | hello | 05:54 |
sstoveld | so would i probably be better off staying with my windows xp? cause this stuff kind of seems pretty confusing, is ubuntu easy to learn to use for newbs? | 05:54 |
zewb | i want to run a telnet bbs on my ubuntu box | 05:54 |
Svenstaro | tgelter, well you can tunnel vnc through ssh, is probably easiest | 05:54 |
sstoveld | nah i didnt use command line much in windows | 05:54 |
kindofabuzz_ | i got on my dad's XP box, i forgot how to use windows pretty much since i been on linux, and it's only been like a month | 05:54 |
zewb | does anyone know how to run a telnet bbs on ubuntu? | 05:54 |
sstoveld | haha | 05:54 |
tgelter | Svenstaro: no way to just specify DISPLAY to point to the local box? | 05:54 |
Angela_Smith | Hi all! Just got ubuntu installed :) I have an AMD 64bit +4800 x2, Do I need the restricted generic drivers for optimal performance? | 05:54 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, depends on what youre trying to do, if you want to set up a LAMP server you will run into some trouble, if you wanna browse the web, edit and listen to music and play some games, ubuntu is better than windows by a couple of miles | 05:55 |
kindofabuzz_ | i couldn't even remember all the skeyboard shorcut commands i use to know | 05:55 |
hischild | Angela_Smith, It usually helps with your graphics card | 05:55 |
memian | zewb, did you try google? | 05:55 |
fk7_se | oh definitely helps with gfx card, don't forget compiz if not installed | 05:55 |
sstoveld | well i dont even know what a LAMP server is, so ubuntu is sounding pretty good to me :) | 05:55 |
Svenstaro | tgelter, not directly through SSH, you can still forward the X server output to SSH, tho when I tried it didnt work and when it did its performance sucked, it assumes youre on LAN with the server | 05:55 |
kindofabuzz_ | yeah it trips me out how people will pay 200$ for a copy of vista and then all they do is get online and check email | 05:56 |
tgelter | Svenstaro: alright, thanks | 05:56 |
=== Ttech is now known as Retsameh |
sstoveld | what about drivers though? will i need to install my motherboard drivers to be able to access the internet on a fresh install? like my ethernet driver | 05:56 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, just install "xchat" by issuing a "sudo apt-get install xchat" in the console, log onto this channel and ask us questions | 05:56 |
zewb | memian: yes, it didn't help | 05:56 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, no, you will almost never need to do all that windows bollocks | 05:57 |
hischild | sstoveld, no. You most likely won't need any drivers at all. | 05:57 |
sstoveld | oh nice | 05:57 |
kindofabuzz_ | unless you are wireless | 05:57 |
hischild | in which case you still won't need them most likely | 05:57 |
hischild | just a bit less likely | 05:57 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, there are no real driver installs in linux, all is compiled into the kernel and you dont have to worry about that | 05:57 |
sstoveld | the more i hear the more anxious i am getting for ubuntu | 05:57 |
=== Retsameh is now known as Ttech |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, remember to install a utility called "envy" (google that, first entry is right) which automatically installs your graphics card drivers | 05:58 |
sstoveld | well my iso just finished downloading, is there a special way i need to burn it? or will it work fine burning with dvd decrypter or nero? | 05:58 |
kindofabuzz_ | you'll like it, we just pray you won't get a install "bug" | 05:58 |
Esk1 | is there a way to get my wifi driver installed without connecting to the net? | 05:58 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, you will sometimes run into a wall and be frustrated, but at least in the linux world stuff brakes because you made a mistake, not the system :) | 05:58 |

mrpockets | <mrpockets> i've got a bluetooth dongle for my Motorola cell phone | 06:02 |
hischild | sstoveld, can be done when installing :-) | 06:02 |
prince_jammys | sstoveld: you don't need to wipe anything. | 06:02 |
epitron | sstoveld: you can do whatever you want from the installer -- resize partitions, wipe drives, etc. | 06:02 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, you can do that on the fly | 06:02 |
sstoveld | thanks :D | 06:02 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld YOU CAN EVEN BROWSE THE WEB AND CHAT WHILE YOU ARE INSTALLING! | 06:02 |

belkinhelp2 | i have firefox on my windows machine and it doesnt do it there | 06:12 |

Svenstaro | sstoveld, no you dont | 06:12 |
belkinhelp2 | svenstaro...thats a good question | 06:13 |

bazhang | anaoum: there is irssi if you wish | 06:14 |
prince_jammys | anaoum: irssi. bitchx is not supported any more, i think (though it's there) | 06:14 |

Svenstaro_ | sstoveld, Im afraid you need to try hardy, let me hand you a link. | 06:47 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/8.04/ubuntu-8.04-beta-desktop-i386.iso | 06:48 |
bluefoxx | someone asked if anyone tired the Hardy Heron Beta yet? i am running it now, and i have to say that other than a error with the bootup on my newer machine and having to hunt down certain programs, its kickass fully instaled. there is no way im going back to gutsy now XD | 06:48 |
sstoveld | what is hardy? like a beta of a new release? | 06:48 |
prince_jammys | yes | 06:48 |
bazhang | !hardy | 06:48 |
ubotu | Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 06:48 |
Ademan_ | http://antony.lesuisse.org/qweb/trac/wiki/AjaxTerm WOW! has anyone seen this? pretty cool idea (though it seems to be slow as piss) basically access to your machine when all you've got is a web browser :-) | 06:49 |
sstoveld | ah | 06:49 |
bluefoxx | i just have to get it to boot from a scsi drive on my other comp | 06:49 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, its got a better chance of working for you, im sorry it didnt work so far | 06:49 |
spartan7 | can someone please help me with my sound problem :P | 06:49 |
bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please for hardy discussion thanks | 06:49 |
sstoveld | good thing i just stocked up on dvds :D | 06:49 |
sstoveld | haha its no problem, i expected some issues having it being the first time doing this, its not your fault | 06:49 |
Iceman_B | nobody around with sata hdd expertise? | 06:50 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, I do, what up? | 06:50 |
sstoveld | going to take a while to download this iso though unfortunately :( | 06:50 |
Iceman_B | Svenstaro: I have 2 SATA ports on my mobo, both with a drive. Im trying to mount the second one(SDB?) which contains 1 NTS partition | 06:51 |
Iceman_B | but ubuntu can find it | 06:51 |
Iceman_B | *can't | 06:51 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, bios update :) | 06:51 |
niketas | Ubuntu-people, I'm just stuck: how to bind a symbol for a certain key combination? Like an — for "AltGr"+"-" | 06:51 |
Iceman_B | no I mean it works in windows, I forgot to say | 06:51 |
niketas | Is it a matter or a keyboard layout? | 06:51 |
Iceman_B | so its there | 06:52 |
kindofabuzz_ | what would be the command to make a folder and its contents readable and executable? chmod r+x <folder>? | 06:52 |
pler | boebu | 06:52 |
Starnestommy | kindofabuzz_: chmod -R +x folder | 06:52 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, while ur downloading we'll try around a bit, put in the ubuntu disk and boot it to the boot menu | 06:52 |
kindofabuzz_ | Starnestommy: thanks | 06:52 |
sstoveld | ok im there | 06:52 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, press "e", you can now edit the boot parameters | 06:52 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, it should be a rather long string | 06:53 |
spartan7 | Im having problems getting sound to play on my ICH8 sound card can anyone help? | 06:53 |
sstoveld | hmm nothing seems to happen when i press e | 06:53 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, second | 06:53 |
j_ | what kind of comp, sstoveld | 06:53 |
sstoveld | boot menu is where it displays the options to install and such, correct? | 06:53 |
Iceman_B | thanks anyway Svenstaro, I'll try mucking around in fstab | 06:54 |
sstoveld | what do you mean by what kind? | 06:54 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yes, hang on a bit im gonna put in my own boot disc so I get an idea of what im telling you | 06:54 |
j_ | the CD boot mentu | 06:54 |
sstoveld | k | 06:54 |
j_ | well u dont need to sven | 06:54 |
j_ | just google it | 06:54 |
j_ | images | 06:54 |
j_ | its on there | 06:54 |
Svenstaro | j_, he's got a ACPI problem :( | 06:54 |
j_ | well his screen goes blank? | 06:55 |
Svenstaro | yup, and kernel panic | 06:55 |
sstoveld | ok well, when i press F6, i get this string that says boot options | 06:55 |
Svenstaro | ah right | 06:55 |
anaoum | hello, i am using pidgin - what do the symbols next to the usernames mean? | 06:55 |
Svenstaro | yes go to its end | 06:55 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, go to its end, do you see a "splash" somewhere? | 06:55 |
sstoveld | yes, last thing there says splash -- | 06:55 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, remove "quiet splash" and boot | 06:56 |
sstoveld | leave -- in there? | 06:56 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yes | 06:56 |
Svenstaro | ultimately, you can now boot ubuntu, if not it will at least display some messages and errors | 06:56 |
prince_jammys | anaoum: i don't use pidgin, but they probably show whether a user is an op | 06:57 |
sstoveld | ok i see a lot of stuff going on here now | 06:57 |
Svenstaro | thats good | 06:57 |
anaoum | yes prince, that is what i thought | 06:57 |
anaoum | if i join a new channel, i automatically become an op? | 06:57 |
prince_jammys | anaoum: heh | 06:57 |
sstoveld | ooh here we go :D | 06:58 |
Iceman_B | anaoum: if its empty, then usually yes | 06:58 |
sstoveld | uh oh... | 06:58 |
prince_jammys | anaoum: oh i see. your own channel. | 06:58 |
anaoum | yeh | 06:58 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, waht up? | 06:58 |
anaoum | eg /join #anaoum | 06:58 |
sstoveld | well it finished going crazy, displayed some new colorful screen and heard some sound, then it all went blank | 06:58 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, uhoh | 06:59 |
anaoum | how do i let other people that have joined become "ops" | 06:59 |
Terrasque | sstoveld: seems like it just developed a new form of crazy | 06:59 |
sstoveld | lol | 06:59 |
Iceman_B | does ubuntu have a hotkey equivalent to the windowskey+D | 06:59 |
Iceman_B | (excuse my cursing) | 06:59 |
anaoum | Iceman_B: control a d | 06:59 |
anaoum | sorry, control ALT D | 07:00 |
Iceman_B | ah, nifty, thanks anaoum :) | 07:00 |
sstoveld | ooh | 07:00 |
sstoveld | hang on... | 07:00 |
sstoveld | im in | 07:00 |
spartan7 | Im having problems getting sound to play on my ICH8 sound card can anyone help me before I go insane? :P | 07:00 |
sstoveld | omg i feel like an idiot... | 07:00 |
anaoum | and the uqivilent of windows key is alt f1 | 07:00 |
sstoveld | i think my monitor just turned off its display | 07:01 |
anaoum | and windows r = alt f2 | 07:01 |
sstoveld | just had to move the mouse :D | 07:01 |
bazhang | aha | 07:01 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, ah yeah that happens sometimes to me :) | 07:01 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, anyway, grats | 07:01 |
sstoveld | hehe | 07:01 |
sstoveld | ok so now what do i have to do here? just double click the install icon? | 07:01 |
zewb | are there any virtual modems for ubuntu? | 07:01 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yeah or just have a look around :) | 07:02 |
sstoveld | hehe this looks niiiiiice :D | 07:02 |
sstoveld | just to make sure here, i can still use dual monitors yes? | 07:02 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, sure | 07:03 |
sstoveld | hehe this is real nice :D | 07:04 |
zewb | lol one thing i hate about community-driven software is that if you need help doing something that nobody cares about anymore, like running a telnet bbs, you're SOL. | 07:04 |
lyte | zewb: you can always offer to pay for support... people tend to care when you do | 07:05 |
Iceman_B | Svenstaro: what if I manually add my second sata drive to fstab? would that work you think? | 07:05 |
zewb | lol | 07:05 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, do "sudo apt-get install gparted" and then "sudo gparted" and look the hdd up | 07:06 |
Iceman_B | oh thanks | 07:06 |
Iceman_B | Iĺl try that | 07:06 |
sstoveld | ok so now, how do i set up my dual monitors? like in windows i would just right click desktop and go to appearance tab or whatever it was | 07:07 |
Arenlor | I've been searching this for a while to find this post I used before to make a minimal install but can't find it, it listed the packages needed for a basic GNOME install from the alternate CD's text only option, anyone know where it is? | 07:07 |
spartan7 | is there a channel who's forte is sound issues? | 07:07 |
bazhang | #alsa spartan7 | 07:07 |
kindofabuzz | i'm back =) | 07:07 |
spartan7 | there alseep | 07:07 |
spartan7 | ;) | 07:08 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, hang on a sec | 07:08 |
sstoveld | k | 07:08 |
kindofabuzz | sstoveld: you on linux yet? | 07:08 |
sstoveld | ya | 07:08 |
kindofabuzz | right on! | 07:08 |
sstoveld | :D | 07:08 |
sstoveld | well its installing, but im browsing :D | 07:09 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, system -> settings -> screens and graphics | 07:09 |
kindofabuzz | cool | 07:09 |
nomopofomo | Is anyone aware of how to configure MythTV as a UPnP server? | 07:09 |
Svenstaro | or something like that, im using the german localization | 07:09 |
kindofabuzz | Svenstaro: wasn't that you talking bad about chatzilla? | 07:09 |
Svenstaro | NO | 07:09 |
kindofabuzz | k | 07:10 |
nox-Hand | I am looking to build an installable Ubuntu Linux redistribution for release for our schools laptops. I.e I will change bootsplash, themes, default installed apps, settings and more. How would I get this onto an installable CD where you change user name at install or something? | 07:10 |
sstoveld | hmm i dont see that, i have preferences, or administration in my system menu | 07:10 |
bazhang | #ubuntu-mythtv will be experts on that nomopofomo | 07:11 |
sstoveld | and i dont see screen and graphics in either of them :( | 07:11 |
kindofabuzz | doesn't the OEM install do what nox is talking about? | 07:11 |
Svenstaro | administration it is, right sstoveld | 07:11 |
nomopofomo | bazhang, thank you | 07:11 |
Iceman_B | Svenstaro: it doesnt show in gparted either. I must say it was and is showing when I boot under windows, but I am having unexplicable errors | 07:11 |
sstoveld | ah gotcha :D | 07:11 |
Iceman_B | thanks again tho | 07:11 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, this is most strange | 07:11 |
bazhang | nox-Hand: you are going to individually install them one by one on each laptop? | 07:12 |
Iceman_B | is there any way to force ubuntu to do a scan of the...whatever it is SATA drives connect to ? | 07:12 |
J-_ | How do I restart the sound server? /etc/init.d/alsa restart? | 07:13 |
xfn | m | 07:13 |
nox-Hand | bazhang: Roger that is currently the idea. We are not sure whether this will be installed as default on laptops or as option for the moment. | 07:13 |
bazhang | nox-Hand: there is a tool for doing that remix kind of thing similar to reconstructor on fedora; cant remember the name at the moment | 07:14 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, hang on | 07:14 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, fdisk -l, if doesnt show there you are fuxored :/ | 07:15 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, ah wait, is it about a whole disk or a partition? | 07:15 |
Iceman_B | er both? | 07:16 |
Iceman_B | its one drive, connected to the second sata port on my mobo, it contains one ntfs partition | 07:16 |
kevin | hello, i was wondering if it is possible to pre-order and pay for a copy of ubuntu 8.04? | 07:16 |
Iceman_B | which Im trying to mount to /media/some_dir | 07:17 |
bazhang | http://uck.sourceforge.net/ this might be it nox-Hand | 07:17 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, okay, if it doesnt show in gparted you most likely have it attached to some very foreign controler | 07:17 |
jetscreamer | fdisk -l | 07:17 |
sstoveld | hmm ok so when i go in there, it says screen 2 is unknown, so i select the make and model, but i cant select secondary screen, it is greyed out | 07:17 |
Svenstaro | kevin, ubuntu is totally free | 07:17 |
Iceman_B | wierd, im using an Asus A7V-600 mobo | 07:17 |
Iceman_B | not the strangest of mobo\s I'day | 07:18 |
jetscreamer | fdisk -l | 07:18 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, I'm gonna guide you on this on you installed ubuntu | 07:18 |
agent | hi room | 07:18 |
sstoveld | haha, i love you :D | 07:18 |
sstoveld | hi, agent | 07:18 |
bazhang | kevin: you will likely need to wait until after the final release to get it; shipit or osdisc (both do that, one for free) | 07:19 |
kevin | ok | 07:19 |
alan_m | you COULD use an alpha cd of ubuntu, but thats not gonna be supported in here, and i should drop it, which i will now. :) | 07:19 |
agent | So, i have a problem and i just remembered that there is a chat room! so here goes! i am running a multiple video card setup. i have 2 geforce2 cards in my system. Both are working but i cant get the second card to work with any other driver than the nv one. | 07:20 |
bazhang | um beta, and discussed in #ubuntu+1 ;] | 07:20 |
alan_m | alpha..beta...its something dangit :) | 07:20 |
agent | i was wondering if there is a problem with using the same driver on 2 cards at once | 07:20 |
alan_m | lol | 07:20 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld highlight me when youre done | 07:20 |
Svenstaro | agent, dont you need the nvidia legacy driver? | 07:21 |
sstoveld | oh you meant when i installed ubuntu | 07:21 |
sstoveld | ok Svenstaro, it just finished installing, restarting now | 07:21 |
agent | i opened the restricted driver manager and checked both of 'em | 07:21 |
agent | legacy and regular | 07:22 |
bazhang | why legacy? | 07:22 |
agent | the one that is workin' is a geforce2 mx 400 the other is a geforce 2 GTS | 07:22 |
philip__ | hello everyone | 07:22 |
philip__ | any support here | 07:22 |
agent | the legacy driver doesnt happen to use a different name than 'nvidia' does it? | 07:22 |
alan_m | sure we support in here, what seems to be your issue your having? | 07:23 |
jetscreamer | no it doesn't | 07:23 |
agent | thought not | 07:23 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, the install finished and it said to complete, restart now. so i restarted and now nothing is happening :( monitors are blank again, and this time its not cause the display shut off haha | 07:23 |
philip__ | i got a question, is their anyone who knows how to install the Retail Management System in ubuntu? | 07:23 |
philip__ | have anyone try this? | 07:24 |
bazhang | philip__: what is that? | 07:24 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, when you are at the grub (the boot manager), press esc while the time is running out, you should have 3 seconds | 07:24 |
subfreeze | I rebooted my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop and ran into "1.044000 Kernel Panic- Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)". Kind of sucks, anyone know how to fix this? I get it in normal bootup and single user bootup (safe mode). | 07:24 |
philip__ | well i have RMS (Retail Management System and i want it to install in ubuntu using wine, anyone tried this before? | 07:24 |
sstoveld | oh, when i was restarting it told me to take out the cd in the tray and press enter. going to put it back in now | 07:25 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, no dont | 07:25 |
Svenstaro | we wont need it | 07:25 |
philip__ | bazhang have you tried this before? | 07:25 |
bazhang | philip__: no idea what that is; have you checked winehq's appdb? | 07:25 |
sstoveld | oh ok | 07:25 |
subfreeze | hmm | 07:25 |
mtx1 | xxxpasshacks | 07:25 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, when booting, you should see some "press esc to enter menu" after which it boots, well youre gonna press esc there | 07:26 |
agent | i assume that the driver works since the mx400 runs glxgears and glxinfo shows rendern' | 07:26 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, im at the screen after the grub | 07:26 |
philip__ | ahh ic....ok i'll check this one | 07:26 |
agent | but the gx? nuthin | 07:26 |
sstoveld | yes im there now, 3 different selections to choose from now | 07:26 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, if you see different boot entries now, thats is grub youre seeing :) | 07:26 |
bazhang | !appdb | philip__ | 07:26 |
ubotu | philip__: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:26 |
sstoveld | oh ok i see :) | 07:26 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, choose the first and press "e", go to the end and remove splash and quiet | 07:26 |
sstoveld | i dont see splash, just quiet, so i removed quiet | 07:27 |
Svenstaro | k | 07:27 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, if you think it brakes, just wait a bit, it might work anyway | 07:28 |
Svenstaro | if not, youll at least see some error | 07:28 |
* alan_m gets the can of troll-b-gon out | 07:28 |
subfreeze | Anyone have an idea on my kern. panic issue on bootup? | 07:28 |
agent | 9639 is the nvidia driver version that should be runnin' right? | 07:28 |
sstoveld | ok, so what do i do after i remove quiet? :) | 07:28 |
nox-Hand | bazhang: Will give it a look, thanks :) | 07:28 |
sstoveld | hit esc? | 07:28 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, oh right, press enter and then "b" | 07:28 |
bazhang | nox-Hand: no worries ;] | 07:29 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, it should boot you up | 07:29 |
fol | chris | 07:29 |
bazhang | agent this is on gutsy? and that is what the restricted drivers manager has? then should be the right ones, yes | 07:29 |
SeanInSeattle | Hey all. Anyone have any experience with usb mice not being recognized when plugged in after you've logged in already? | 07:29 |
fol | server.telkom.net | 07:29 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, im sorry, i wasnt telling the correct thing, are you still are grub level? | 07:30 |
agent | 7.10 | 07:30 |
Svenstaro | at* | 07:30 |
OwNsYa | hey, im trying to install ssh server i do sudo apt-get install ssh. but the only packages that come up is ssh-askpass-gnome and ssh-client ?? lol | 07:30 |
sstoveld | yes, im at the screen where i can remove the different entries here | 07:30 |
sstoveld | where i removed quiet | 07:30 |
Svenstaro | OwNsYa, you want "sudo apt-get install openssh-server" | 07:30 |
agent | thats what nvidia-settings has for driver version | 07:30 |
bazhang | OwNsYa: what about apt-cache search ssh what does that reveal? | 07:31 |
OwNsYa | oh | 07:31 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, k you figured you need to use "d" to remove it, right? | 07:31 |
subfreeze | I rebooted my Ubuntu 7.10 laptop and ran into "1.044000 Kernel Panic- Not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)". Anyone familiar with this error? | 07:31 |
sstoveld | yup | 07:31 |
genuser | yes i am familiar with it. | 07:31 |
OwNsYa | thanks, lol. | 07:31 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, you see the second entry from the top, beginning with kernel? | 07:31 |
SeanInSeattle | Hey all. Anyone have any experience with usb mice not being recognized when plugged in after you've logged in already? | 07:31 |
sstoveld | yes | 07:31 |
subfreeze | genuser: Any idea how to resolve it? | 07:31 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, youre gonna go there, press e and go to the end, remove splash, press enter, press b, and hope | 07:31 |
genuser | well, do you have scsi driver installed in your kernel? | 07:32 |
sstoveld | remove quiet from there also? | 07:32 |
subfreeze | genuser: I didn't change anything. I have been running Ubuntu 7.10 on this laptop since it came out. Did not do an upgrade of any sort, just rebooted. | 07:32 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, if there is a quiet, yes | 07:32 |
sstoveld | ok i see stuff going on now | 07:32 |
subfreeze | Apache started throwing seg faults, then X crashed, so I rebooted and got that error. | 07:32 |
genuser | subfreeze: did you change or add to anything? | 07:32 |
sstoveld | looking good so far :D | 07:32 |
Svenstaro | subfreeze, you might want to boot with a ubuntu cd, and run a check on those parts | 07:33 |
subfreeze | genuser: I ran dpkg-reconfigure console-setup | 07:33 |
Svenstaro | subfreeze fsck -f /dev/hda1 for example | 07:33 |
OwNsYa | hmm, no openssh-server does that mean its the mirrors or something? | 07:33 |
agent | should i have both drivers checked in the restricted driver manager? | 07:33 |
Svenstaro | subfreeze, doesnt sound good i gotta admit :< | 07:33 |
Svenstaro | OwNsYa, did you activate all repos? | 07:33 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, :D im logged in | 07:34 |
subfreeze | Svenstaro: When I'm in GRUB I can still see the filesystem, which is a bonus, I guess.. | 07:34 |
Svenstaro | agent, you shouldnt need to | 07:34 |
OwNsYa | whats that mean LOL i only just installed unbuntu. | 07:34 |
genuser | subfreeze: i feel like you have changed your harddrive in initscript in your kernel from either sda to hda or hda to sda. i may be wrong though. | 07:34 |
OwNsYa | ubuntu* | 07:34 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, hooray! lets make the fix permanent | 07:34 |
bazhang | !yay | sstoveld | 07:34 |
ubotu | sstoveld: Glad you made it! :-) | 07:34 |
sstoveld | hehe, thanks :D | 07:34 |
agent | what is a 'legacy card'? | 07:34 |
subfreeze | genuser: Is there an easy way to correct this with the inability to boot the kernal? | 07:34 |
agent | geforce 2 fall into that? | 07:34 |
Svenstaro | OwNsYa, okay, open synaptic and in the options select all the repositories | 07:34 |
Iceman_B | Svenstaro: thank again for your input, I'll see if I can work this problem out | 07:34 |
Iceman_B | (500GB of anime and music ;_;) | 07:34 |
Svenstaro | Iceman_B, alright, good luck man | 07:34 |
subfreeze | genuser: Can I change the root=UUID:52abc.... line to root=/dev/sda1? | 07:35 |
genuser | subfreeze: what output did you get for dkpg-reconfigure? did you run && console-setup? | 07:35 |
subfreeze | genuserI ran dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and changed the font size for my consoles. | 07:35 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, now for our first terminal session :) | 07:35 |
chris062689 | what is the best way to upgrade to Hardy from Gutsy? | 07:35 |
bazhang | lots of updates ;] | 07:35 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, im excited :P | 07:35 |
bazhang | #ubuntu+1 chris062689 please thanks | 07:36 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, open a terminal, type "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst" | 07:36 |
genuser | subfreeze: i deal with this kind of thing all the time in gentoo. is there a way to take a look into your kernel? (sorry i'm inexperienced in ubuntu. i run ubuntu on my laptop and that's about it) | 07:36 |
orbisvicis | i am trying to register a script in /etc/init.d/ using update-rc.d, but it isnt executed and doesnt show up in bum/sysv-rc-conf. Can someone help me debug ? | 07:36 |
Svenstaro | orbisvicis, is it executable? | 07:36 |
orbisvicis | yes | 07:37 |
subfreeze | genuser: I only have access to GRUB. | 07:37 |
sstoveld | is that Lst? or (one)st? | 07:37 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld ? | 07:37 |
sstoveld | menu.Lst? | 07:37 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yes, just lower case | 07:37 |
sstoveld | k | 07:37 |
genuser | subfreeze:is your grub setting altered? and i don't think grub affects your kernel in any way when it loads. you get this message on your kernel boot or when grub boots? | 07:37 |
subfreeze | genuser: Kernal boot. Grub works fine. | 07:38 |
sstoveld | ok | 07:38 |
Svenstaro | orbisvicis, to test this, take the init.d skeleton script, copy your stuff in there and change the runlevel | 07:38 |
Svenstaro | to test, that is | 07:38 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, im in | 07:38 |
LupoBluAlfa | weeeee | 07:38 |
subfreeze | genuser: I'll boot off of the CD and see if I can get anything resolved in that manner. | 07:38 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, alright, scroll down, you should see the lines that are familiar to you from the grub menu | 07:38 |
genuser | subfreeze: yeah i would ask you to grep your kernel setting but i'm on jack daniels high and can't remember the commands atm | 07:38 |
LupoBluAlfa | CIAO RAGA | 07:38 |
subfreeze | genuser: Isn't good ol' Jackie D a low, not a high? ;) | 07:39 |
genuser | subfreeze: yes please do. i'm sorry for not helping. | 07:39 |
sstoveld | yes i see them | 07:39 |
orbisvicis | Svenstaro, init.d skel script ? | 07:39 |
genuser | subfreeze: yeah :) | 07:39 |
sstoveld | delete quiet and splash then save? | 07:39 |
LupoBluAlfa | WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE | 07:39 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yup, delete all instances of quiet and splash from the primary entry | 07:39 |
subfreeze | genuser: Enjoy Jack. I'll twiddle my thumbs while the CD downloads. | 07:39 |
ip81 | hello how do i use gaim | 07:39 |
ip81 | ? | 07:39 |
ip81 | pidgin? | 07:39 |
Svenstaro | orbisvicis, yup, if it aint there google for it, you dont need to register the script, just put a working skeleton into /etc/init.d and it will execute | 07:40 |
genuser | subfreeze: okay good luck. i'll hang around for a bit more and may retire for the night. | 07:40 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, ok, done and saved | 07:40 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, alright, do you by any chance know what harddisk you installed onto? | 07:40 |

sstoveld | Svenstaro, yes, my primary partition | 07:41 |
agent | unchecking the non-legacy option in the restricted driver manager makes the "nvidia" driver stop working | 07:41 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, do you know what it is called in linux? | 07:41 |
khushil | ick KhushilDep | 07:41 |
=== khushil is now known as KhushilDep |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, nope :P | 07:41 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, alright, in a terminal do "sudo fdisk -l" and paste the output | 07:42 |
KhushilDep | Hey all - anyone know what (Details: serial 296 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 14) means when trying to run gxine ? | 07:42 |
ScottONanski | What's the advantage of compiling a kernel? | 07:42 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, what is hotkey for terminal btw? | 07:43 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, there is none afaik, you gotta define one yourself :) | 07:43 |
sstoveld | k | 07:43 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, i always got my terminal handy in my top bar | 07:43 |
Svenstaro | ScottONanski, learning, and you can compile defines into it which arent there by default, usually not necessary | 07:43 |
turbough | i get a warning while using debootstrap from fedora: W: Failure while configuring base packages. This will be attempted 5 times | 07:44 |
turbough | does debootstrap need to configure the base packages? | 07:44 |
bazhang | turbough: from fedora? please read /topic | 07:44 |
sstoveld | hmm, this will be easier to do if i get on irc on my desktop | 07:44 |
orbisvicis | Svenstaro, unfortunately the script is already made, rtirq.sh @ http://www.rncbc.org/jack/ | 07:44 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, sure | 07:44 |
sstoveld | is there an irc client already installed? | 07:44 |
ScottONanski | Sven: Thanks. So, can I compile a kernel according to my machine specs? | 07:44 |
turbough | bazhang: i'm trying to install ubuntu over fedora remotely | 07:44 |
sstoveld | or can i just install chatzilla in firefox? | 07:45 |
agent | oh hey... i think i got it.... | 07:45 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yes, but I prefer xcaht, "sudo apt-get install xchat" yes or that | 07:45 |
agent | but now my top and bottom bars are missing | 07:45 |
agent | wth | 07:45 |
bazhang | turbough: aha what about mounting the minimal iso (9MB) and doing it that way? | 07:45 |
Svenstaro | ScottONanski, yes, but it wont be noticably faster anymore these days | 07:45 |
turbough | bazhang: can i chroot to the minimal iso? | 07:45 |
Svenstaro | orbisvicis, I dont quite get what you are trying to tell me there :/ | 07:45 |
ScottONanski | Sven: Okay, thanks. | 07:45 |
sstoveld | ok i will brb | 07:46 |
turbough | bazhang: i have no keyboard or monitor. it's just a server attached to a network in some building in a different country. | 07:46 |
turbough | i've been following https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/hppa/linux-upgrade.html | 07:46 |
sstoveld | ok back | 07:46 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, try "sudo grub-install /dev/hda" | 07:47 |
orbisvicis | Svenstaro, i cant use the skel script because the script i need <rtirq.sh> is already written and deals with rtprio on realtime kernel stuff | 07:47 |
bazhang | turbough: you should probably wait until the SSH gurus arrive; I just know how to trigger the bot here ;] | 07:47 |
Svenstaro | orbisvicis, okay well, then just make a skel script that starts your script | 07:47 |
Rammy | net | 07:47 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, /dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive. | 07:47 |
Svenstaro | certainly not the fine english way but works | 07:47 |
turbough | bazhang: thanks | 07:47 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, okay, looking at /boot/grub/menu.lst again, can you tell which device it is? look at the entry for the primary boot option, the should be a "root" entry | 07:48 |
agent | ok, so now that i am using the legacy driver on login my top and bottom bars start to load and then dissapear | 07:49 |
orbisvicis | Svenstaro, i did not know this but a init.d script apparently is invalid if it has a suffix | 07:49 |
Svenstaro | agent, are you using compiz? | 07:49 |
orbisvicis | so rtirq instead of rtirq.sh seems to work so far | 07:49 |
agent | nope | 07:49 |
sstoveld | /dev/hdc1 * 1 29837 239665671 83 Linux | 07:49 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, you mean this? | 07:49 |
Svenstaro | orbisvicis, I did not know that | 07:49 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, are wonderful, type "sudo grub-install /dev/hdc" | 07:50 |
orbisvicis | reboot/test | 07:50 |
agent | i just made a folder and tried to open it | 07:51 |
agent | i saw the window for a split second | 07:51 |
agent | then... GONE | 07:51 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, ok it finished, said no errors reported | 07:51 |
Svenstaro | agent, are the desktop effects enabled? | 07:51 |
agent | nope | 07:51 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, then lets dare it shall we, reboot :) | 07:51 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, hehe ok, wish me luck! | 07:52 |
agent | can I confirm that its off commandline? | 07:52 |
[nix] | Anyone know the name of the mp3 program in this screenshot http://visionsofart.deviantart.com/art/1601-output-74848505 | 07:53 |
arooni | how do i get xvidcap installed? | 07:53 |
julian_ | ping | 07:53 |
hischild | is there a good compare tool for comparing 2 folders filled with txt files? | 07:54 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, success! TY :D | 07:54 |
Svenstaro | hischild, wanna compare the contents? | 07:54 |
julian_ | hi, i got my first kernels compiled, but they have a version number: 2.6.22.9 and the ones installed with my ubuntu is 2.6.22-14. the problem is now: i cant get the restricted modules to work. cause versionnumbers dont fit together. how can i get rid of this? so how to install the restrictedmodules or how to make my kernel a version number like 2.6.22-14 ?! | 07:55 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, very nice, please keep in mind that you *may* have to do this after every kernel update, which wont be too often tho | 07:55 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, hehe i dont quite know what that means, but sounds good :P | 07:55 |
hischild | Svenstaro, yes that'd be correct. I got 2 versions of a programming project and i would like to compare them. | 07:55 |
Svenstaro | julian_, you *don't* want to mix kernel modules of different versions | 07:56 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, update manager is telling me i have 202 updates to install, and i dont know what any of them do, should i just install all of them? | 07:56 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, im only saying that, if you updated and then after rebooting this problem occurs, you know what to do, its a bit inconvient | 07:56 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, i installed linux-source so normally it should be the same? or why should it be different? | 07:56 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, yes, go ahead :) | 07:56 |
Svenstaro | julian_, from the ubuntu package? | 07:57 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, yes?! | 07:57 |
Svenstaro | hischild, I wouldnt know a program to do it, but a script should well be possible to do it | 07:57 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, oh ok, i understand | 07:57 |
Svenstaro | julian_, that indeed is strange | 07:58 |
hischild | Svenstaro, could you help me with something with that? | 07:58 |
julian_ | hischild: there is a programm called Kompare that should help you | 07:58 |
Toznoshio | How do I convert a .png picture into .xpm to use it as an icon? | 07:58 |
Svenstaro | Toznoshio, install imagemagick | 07:58 |
julian_ | hischild: its the windows version of WinMerge if this is familar to you | 07:58 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, how about installing other applications such as AIM and Windows live messenger? how do i go about doing that? look for a linux version of it on their website? | 07:58 |
julian_ | sstoveld, you just need Gaim, or pidgin | 07:58 |
Toznoshio | Svenstaro: thanks, I'll try that | 07:58 |
hischild | julian_, i've heard of it. I'll look into it. | 07:59 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, right, you only need pidgin for all your chatting needs, it does them all | 07:59 |
sstoveld | ok, so where can i get gaim or pidgin? | 07:59 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, its installed by default | 07:59 |
julian_ | sstoveld, there are extra programs for msn trying to get the webcam and stuff working, but none of them work for me with webcam, so i stayed with pidgin | 07:59 |
sstoveld | oh i found pidgin | 08:00 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, is there a way to tell my kernel that it is a 2.6.22-14? i used the kernel option for arbitraray version number but that didnt work at all.. | 08:00 |
Svenstaro | julian_, you have to do that at compile time, and it depends on the way you make your kernel | 08:00 |
Svenstaro | make-deb? | 08:00 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, i do it like sudo make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image | 08:01 |
ScottONanski | Man, Linux is *so* cool. :) I've just recently made the switch to Linux and I'm stoked about it. I can't wait to start learning how to used the shell and write scripts. | 08:01 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, do i need to use the --revision flag? | 08:01 |
shoon | While installing Ubuntu 7.04 an Unable to install GRUB "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed." fatal error occurred. If I manually installed and configured GRUB would my install be saved? | 08:01 |
agent | i just changed all the true's in /etc/compizconfig/config to false in an attempt to 'turn off desktop effects' | 08:01 |
agent | correct y/n? | 08:01 |
sherl0ck | hey i was writing a post in the forums, and it was in tips/tutorials area, and it accidently was submitted early before i could finish. and said it was sent to moderator, how can i contine working on it | 08:02 |
julian_ | agent normalyl you just need to right click on desktop and change the effects to no effects | 08:02 |
agent | it is not listed | 08:03 |
agent | so it isn't running? | 08:03 |
Svenstaro__ | wow i totally got disconnected at 9:00 am | 08:03 |
fol | co_cakkepp | 08:03 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld you there? | 08:03 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, i do it like sudo make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image | 08:03 |
julian_ | Svenstaro, do i need to use the --revision flag? | 08:04 |
agent | so then i have to ask. "Why do my top and bottom bars disappear when using the legacy nvidia driver?" | 08:04 |
sherl0ck | hey i lost my post on the forums, how can i find it? i created it | 08:04 |
sherl0ck | or started the thread | 08:04 |
agent | This is not what happens using "nv" | 08:04 |
cyntek | How can i find what version of nvidia is installed ? | 08:04 |
Svenstaro__ | julian_, usually yes, but only the kernel itself knows what version it is, I dont think you could ro should enforce that | 08:04 |
agent | i found it in nvidia-settings | 08:04 |
sorsis | cyntek: with add/remove programs. look which package of nvidia-drivers is installed. | 08:05 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, sorry, wasnt paying attention, looking through all the new exciting things here :D | 08:05 |
agent | 1.00-XXXX where X is shorthand version | 08:05 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, are you updating? | 08:05 |
anaou1 | lol | 08:05 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, yeah | 08:05 |
Svenstaro__ | goodie | 08:05 |
agent | "Also, when opened all windows appear to 'expand' for a split second and disappear | 08:05 |
julian_ | hm ok then i just install the restricted modules by hand no problem. just thought i did something wrong. | 08:05 |
Jaffarkelshac | hello ppl | 08:06 |
Svenstaro__ | agent, are you really sure desktop effects are off? | 08:06 |
sstoveld | ok so how about torrents? does utorrent work on ubuntu? | 08:06 |
Jaffarkelshac | "when I log on sometimes, my themes and personal settings including screen res. are all changed to something else. , but when i use alt + ctr + bckspace and log back in it goes back to my settings. | 08:06 |
Esk10 | anyone have any idea how to get a wacom bambo working? | 08:06 |
agent | how else do I confirm? | 08:06 |
sorsis | sstoveld: use ktorrent | 08:06 |
julian_ | last question: how comes that my compiled kernel is alot smaller, BUT the initrd image is 10 times bigger | 08:06 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, yes it would, but there are linux equivalents | 08:06 |
agent | no right click option for disable | 08:06 |
agent | no menues | 08:06 |
Jaffarkelshac | anyone know how to prevent it from happening | 08:06 |
Svenstaro__ | agent, do this in a terminal "sudo metacity --replace" | 08:06 |
bazhang | agent just alt f2 metacity --replace no need for sudo | 08:07 |
sstoveld | sorsis, ktorrent eh? never heard of it, ill give it a try | 08:07 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, no, try "deluge" i like it better | 08:07 |
cyntek | sorsis: The add/remove app: says Nvidia binary X.org driver(new) driver, but, is this as new as the one on the nvidia site? | 08:07 |
sstoveld | deluge? k | 08:07 |
Jaffarkelshac | "when I log on sometimes, my themes and personal settings including screen res. are all changed to something else. , but when i use alt + ctr + bckspace and log back in it goes back to my settings. how to i stop this from happening | 08:08 |
agent | alt f2 doesn't do anything | 08:08 |
sorsis | cyntek: use nvidia-settings to solve that | 08:08 |
Svenstaro__ | agent, ctrl + alt+ f2 does do it, you will swap to a console | 08:08 |
YotoshiWii | can anyone recommend a good C++ compiler for a n00b? | 08:08 |
Svenstaro__ | YotoshiWii, mingw | 08:08 |
Svenstaro__ | YotoshiWii, g++ of course as well | 08:08 |
agent | alt f1 profile says can't open X display | 08:09 |
cyntek | sorsis: how do i access the nvidia settings?. | 08:09 |
sstoveld | lol ok here's a newb question, what version of ubuntu am i using here? haha is it gutsy gibbon? | 08:09 |
sorsis | cyntek: from command line | 08:09 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, yes it is | 08:09 |
YotoshiWii | ok, thank you. :D | 08:09 |
Jaffarkelshac | how do I use the menu-xdg when i install the package | 08:10 |
cyntek | sorsis: what is the command line? | 08:10 |
YotoshiWii | wait, are them programs for windows? | 08:10 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, sudo apt-get install deluge :) as with 90% of the software you want | 08:10 |
Svenstaro__ | YotoshiWii, well you can run them on windows | 08:10 |
sstoveld | oh ok hehe | 08:10 |
YotoshiWii | i'm looking for something to run on Ububtu | 08:10 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, open synaptic first and make sure you have all repositories enabled | 08:11 |
shoon | While installing Ubuntu 7.04 an Unable to install GRUB "Executing 'grub-install (hd0)' failed." fatal error occurred. If I manually installed and configured GRUB would my install be saved? | 08:11 |
Svenstaro__ | YotoshiWii, they also run on ubuntu :) | 08:11 |
sstoveld | oh i cant do it yet, installing updates | 08:11 |
YotoshiWii | ...and something to correct my spelling. :p | 08:11 |
Svenstaro__ | shoon, yes | 08:11 |
cyntek | I mean...how would i access the nvidia settings in terminal? | 08:11 |
YotoshiWii | ok, thanks dude | 08:11 |
sstoveld | synaptic? | 08:11 |
shoon | Svenstaro: Thank you. | 08:11 |
Svenstaro__ | np guys | 08:11 |
Jaffarkelshac | does anyone know to use the debian menu-xdg after installing the package. | 08:12 |
Svenstaro__ | cyntek, nvidia-settings | 08:12 |
Svenstaro__ | sudo sthat | 08:12 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, and yes, sadly thats a little limitation there, you can only have one installation running at once | 08:12 |
cyntek | svenstaro_: yeah, i want to know what version of nvidia driver is installed. | 08:12 |
cyntek | Because i downloaded the new driver from the nvidia website. | 08:13 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, hehe, no problem, but what is synaptic and this thing about repositories? | 08:13 |
cyntek | syntaptic is an application file manager!. | 08:14 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, well in windows if you wanted software you would go to google, find the softwares website, download it, (possibly pay it), double click it and install. In Ubuntu with 90% of the software you dont need to do that, you only open synaptic, your package manager, type in waht you want or even browse if you want to discover new software, and tick to install it. and it will install itself. | 08:15 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, synatic will also keep track of all your packages and update all, automatically if you want, unlike windows where you have to repeat the previous process all the time to update it | 08:15 |
Svenstaro__ | way more comfortable | 08:16 |
sstoveld | oh ok, sounds good | 08:16 |
sstoveld | where do i access it? | 08:16 |
agent | ok. when screen2 is using nv and 1 is using nvidia there isn't a problem | 08:16 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld system -> admin -> synatic | 08:17 |
keoni | can someone point me into the direction of somewhere where i can find info on how to make a application only launch if a specific system is connected to the network? | 08:17 |
Svenstaro__ | agent, thats super wierd, they should both be able to run off the same driver | 08:17 |
sstoveld | oh ok, thanks | 08:17 |
Svenstaro__ | agent, the drivers would even clash | 08:17 |
agent | well ah dunno | 08:17 |
nomopofomo | How do I update my search index? | 08:17 |
agent | i kinda know what im doing but | 08:17 |
agent | :shrug: | 08:17 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, ok now, what about connecting to a home network? like my laptop and the other computers in the house? | 08:18 |
Svenstaro__ | keoni, you can constantly ping for a certain ip and make it launch something if the ip goes online | 08:18 |
agent | wrote my first xorg.conf today | 08:18 |
agent | here i am | 08:18 |

Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, you will ahve to fix it again | 08:20 |
nomopofomo | Isn't there a way to update the index of all files on your harddrive for use with the locate command? | 08:20 |
Svenstaro__ | nomopofomo "sudo updatedb" | 08:20 |
sstoveld | oh you mean delete the quiet splash stuff? | 08:20 |
sstoveld | ok | 08:20 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, yes, wait | 08:20 |
sstoveld | ok | 08:20 |
Jaffarkelshac | it does not always show up, in windows you just type backslash and ip and you are there | 08:20 |
DistroJockey | Jaffarkelshac: You could try pressing Alt+F2 and typing in: smb://the.machines.ip.number | 08:21 |
nomopofomo | Svenstaro__, Thank you. | 08:21 |
Svenstaro__ | sstoveld you can do it now, permantenly till next update, like last time :) sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst | 08:21 |
Jaffarkelshac | i will try than | 08:21 |
sstoveld | oh ok, i dont have to wait til i reboot | 08:21 |
sstoveld | sounds good :D | 08:21 |
crashhandler | how can i know command for spesific application? | 08:21 |

sstoveld | ok brb, restarting | 08:22 |
gyaresu | evan_: gpasswd | 08:22 |
Svenstaro__ | crashhandler, rephrase that please | 08:23 |
gyaresu | evan_: 'gpasswd -h' for options but it's 'gpasswd -a user group' | 08:23 |
Esk10 | ok guys i can't install opera because of an error unsatisfiable libqt3-mt and i can't seem to get flash to work | 08:23 |

GEIS | how do i rename an whole entire mount point | 08:56 |

tarkus | Addy, that is soo funny | 08:59 |
ere4si | GEIS: the mount point will be a dir - rename that and any paths that link to it | 08:59 |
