| 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 |
| untruehero | I'm getting the dpkg --configure -a error | 00:01 |
| Dannyboi | yes | 00:01 |
| icanhasadmin | Dannyboi: ati or nvidia? | 00:01 |

| icanhasadmin | Dannyboi: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_the_Catalyst_8.3_Driver_Manually | 00:02 |
| Itaku | how do i make php5 working with the mysql extension | 00:02 |
| mad_max02 | Dannyboi, XGL is old news and its not recommended any more since ati has aglx support | 00:02 |
| tanner | anyone know how to run a 32bit mplayer on 64bit ubuntu install? | 00:02 |
| digitalslave | trust me you dont want to debian seems to change port numbers and vertain things are broken and it just lays around and collects dust - very frustating for java developers!! | 00:02 |
| legend2440 | Dannyboi: system>admin>restricted driver manager | 00:02 |
| LinuxTryer | Hello, can anyone suggest a place to ask about issues installing 7.10 on VMWare ESX? | 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 |
| fevel | can someone help me set up the python interpreter on eclipse? my python installation doesnt seem to be on /usr/bin/python and I cant find it | 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 |
| thisdyu | how can i tell what is on wlan1 | 00:16 |
| thisdyu | or if its in use | 00:17 |
| dabbill | and there is a howto on the fourms about installing 32bit codics on 64bit install. | 00:17 |
| RavenTrigun | I got ubuntu a couple of days ago and i find myself lacking games to play. | 00:17 |
| Dannyboi | ok | 00:17 |
| Dannyboi | kool | 00:17 |

| RavenTrigun | So i want to get XP back to play my games. | 00:17 |
| RavenTrigun | How would i do that? | 00:17 |
| 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 |

| ubotu | Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 00:18 |
| michalski | untruehero: lol should mention that earlier | 00:18 |

| grant_ | it is on a lap top | 00:18 |
| RavenTrigun | Hitman,Hitman 2,Hitman 3,Hitman 4, GTA SAMP, | 00:18 |

| mad_max02 | RavenTrigun, but why did you install ubuntu in the first place then ?? | 00:18 |
| untruehero | michalski - it screwed up my ultravnc connection | 00:18 |

| mad_max02 | RavenTrigun, why on earth would you go back to windows then ??? | 00:20 |
| crondor | the problem is, there is no user ubuntu until the livecd loaded | 00:20 |

| tanner | mad_max02: http://pastebin.com/m6a210948 | 00:20 |

| mad_max02 | tanner, I dont get what you are trying to tell me. Did you check that link I pasted to you ???? | 00:21 |
| unop | spiniker, in the meantime, you can download firefox from mozilla's site and install it manually | 00:22 |
| spiniker | and also why cant i download the torrents that i have using azureus? | 00:22 |
| Zanth | hello, is it possible to run compiz without xgl? | 00:22 |
| CME | RavenTrigun, then search for DSETUP.dll and copy it to ~/.wine/drive_c/system32 | 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 |
| CME | and setup wine first with winecfg | 00:22 |

| Dr_willis_ | grant_, what filesystem is the hard drive? | 00:22 |
| tanner | mad_max02: svn is the source of mplayer.. | 00:23 |
| unop | thisdyu, use the iwconfig command to detect the wifi card and see if that matches up with wlan1 | 00:23 |
| Auzy | btw, anyone in charge of brainstorm, I think you just ran out of free space on your server | 00:23 |

| stefg | grant_: hardware failure ? | 00:26 |
| michalski | untruehero: what? | 00:26 |
| stefg | grant_: harddisk have a fatal tendency to break ... | 00:26 |
| Cackette-Laptop | hrmm, unop, they're already installed, but when i load a quicktime movie, FF wont play it | 00:27 |
| grant_ | stefg, it won't mount my ipod or flash drive | 00:27 |
| TechPepsi | mine isnt 64 its 32 | 00:27 |
| stefg | grant_: i see... hal, dbus or another usual suspect ... | 00:27 |
| untruehero | michalski - sorry it says command not found | 00:27 |
| Cackette-Laptop | actually, unop, firefox crashes when i try to play one | 00:27 |
| spiniker | unop: i downloaded firefox,how do i install it manually? | 00:27 |
| untruehero | michalski - i rebooted and the damn install started again and told me to end the activation | 00:28 |
| spiniker | its right on my desktop.. | 00:28 |
| michalski | TechPepsi: so.... | 00:28 |
| Cackette-Laptop | unop, either that or says (no video) | 00:28 |
| michalski | TechPepsi: wait holdon | 00:28 |
| untruehero | michalski - why can't I just cancel the process | 00:28 |
| grant_ | stefg, what does that mean? | 00:28 |
| michalski | untruehero: it restarted after rebooting? | 00:28 |
| kids_ | hello | 00:28 |
| 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 |
| Dannyboi | ok guys im going to go and insall ubuntu and follow the ATI instrctions best I can | 00:30 |

| michalski | not thinking straight | 00:32 |
| MasterScript | hi, my ubuntu get an error when i start it. see this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60932/ | 00:33 |
| unop | Cackette-Laptop, errm, you could try using mplayer -- remove the totem-mozilla package and install mplayer-plugin -- and make sure you restart firefox, best you close it first actually | 00:33 |
| Cackette-Laptop | ok, i'll try | 00:33 |
| unop | Cackette-Laptop, mplayerplug-in | 00:33 |
| michalski | #TechPepsi is wondering how to install powerpc version of ubuntu# | 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 |

| swaj | Adys, .NET pays the bills, and it's pretty darn sweet when you actually spend time with it. A lot of people just dismiss it because it's Microsoft technology. | 01:04 |

| Phonica | sod it im going back to gentoo, at least i can fix that when it goes wrong -_- | 01:09 |
| MagoonD | HardyOne, thanks | 01:10 |
| swaj | Adys, yeah, but it seems funny that you mention not liking the whole "framework" idea behind .NET, but then you use interpereted languages like PHP and Python ;) | 01:10 |
| gnr | how do i install alsa? | 01:10 |
| HardyOne | MagoonD, np | 01:10 |
| Phonica | gnr, you dont install alsa its already a built in part of ubuntu | 01:10 |
| Adys | swaj: talking only about compiled code when talking about frameworks | 01:10 |
| Adys | see java | 01:10 |
| Adys | hate it just as much :) | 01:10 |
| HardyOne | Phonica, have you tried the Alternate install cd? | 01:10 |
| vehicle | I am new to servers. I just installed the latest release of ubuntu server with samba file server on top. When I rebooted I got "B loading, please wait... or 18" I think "or 18" is an error message but i have no idea where to go from here... | 01:10 |
| vehicle | please help | 01:10 |
| gnr | Phonica, then why do i get "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found." on my volume control? | 01:11 |
| HardyOne | gnr, what sound card do you have? | 01:12 |
| gnr | intel hd | 01:12 |
| swaj | Adys, is there a decent web framework that allows for python to be used on the web? | 01:12 |
| HardyOne | you running hardy? | 01:12 |
| gnr | 7.10 | 01:12 |
| jaek | hmm what is a good TV tuner app | 01:12 |
| Gnea | tvtime | 01:12 |
| Adys | swaj: I run python and php along generally | 01:12 |
| 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 |
| Adys | swaj: theres a plugin in php, as for running python alone Im no help here since i never tried, but i know its possible | 01:14 |
| evilgnome | does anyone know what the place of upstart will be in the coming release? | 01:14 |
| Emilian | swaj I use mod_wsgi and django | 01:14 |
| gnr | in not on hardy... on gutsy HardyOne | 01:14 |
| Jatz | hey, could I get a quick tip with grep? | 01:14 |
| Jatz | how do I search for [!] | 01:14 |
| worzel | HELP please | 01:15 |
| HardyOne | https://launchpad.net/bugs/200338 gnr I understand but this might help you | 01:15 |
| Gnea | Jatz: grep \[\!\] * | 01:15 |
| Adys | Jatz: backslashes | 01:15 |
| Adys | bah | 01:15 |
| Jatz | Gnea: thanks a lot! | 01:15 |
| kindofabuzz_ | Jatz: do a man grep | 01:15 |
| 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 |
| orudie | how would i quit from man | 01:19 |
| Gnea | q | 01:19 |
| Adys | q | 01:19 |
| 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 |
| Keidale | My update manager is trying to download in to the root directory E: ERROR: could not create configuration directory /home/root/.synaptic - mkdir (2 No such file or directory) I'm not sure how it changed but does anyone know how to get to point to the right file | 01:24 |
| Gnea | worzel: try it and see what happens | 01:24 |

| Capsid | I'm trying to use ndiswrapper to run my integrated Intel wireless card. Is their anyway to stop the generic driver and make ndiswrapper default? | 01:25 |
| 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 |
| === luke__ is now known as NET||abuse | ||
| Gnea | sudo -i | 01:25 |
| ALPSINC | KyleS-home: how can i run something as root automaticly, upon every startup | 01:25 |
| ALPSINC | that was the question | 01:26 |
| Name141 | Gnea: I am trying to put it on my external drive. Following the guide given to me in the forums | 01:26 |
| nigro | I have a question, I trying configure mi wireless card BCM4312 but I can't connet to ap with wep | 01:26 |
| 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 |

| 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 |
| Odd-rationale | I was first! :) | 01:31 |
| Gnea | home run! | 01:31 |

| kei-clone | so | 01:33 |
| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| Adys | jeffMASTERflex: not by default afaik | 01:46 |
| manicnerd | tash: scale i believe | 01:46 |
| kei-clone | can someone help me get my audacious and exaile to work? I can't play music right now, there's the output when I try: http://rafb.net/p/fTY8rf43.html | 01:46 |
| drewby | lol | 01:46 |
| bod_ | !aptoncd | manicnerd | 01:46 |
| 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 |
| drewby | the mic port was muted >< | 01:47 |
| 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 |
| manicnerd | tash: np | 01:47 |
| Odd-rationale | manicnerd: But there is a better way. let me get the link | 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 |
| manicnerd | Odd-rationale: thank you very much for that link....just what i was looking for | 01:49 |

| 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 | ||

| 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 |

| 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 |
| shachaf | orbisvicis: Hansel suggested that you look into the "wheel" group. | 02:18 |
| orbisvicis | shachaf, id like to lower the user id | 02:18 |
| Jon855 | anybody mind telling me the differences between ath0 and wifi0 ? | 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 |
| Jester45 | mike__, i think those added things only work on when the emulated os is windows | 02:19 |

| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||

| 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 |
| Hansel | prince_jammys - you will notice when I told him the adduser command to look at the switches relevant to UID... ;) | 02:20 |
| Jon855 | Nobody? | 02:20 |
| alan_m | and.....whats the issue jon855....your not giving us much to go on. | 02:21 |

| Jon855 | I thought I had explained it. | 02:21 |
| Jon855 | Wifi -> Laptop -> Switch -> Computers. | 02:21 |
| Jon855 | My network set up is like this. And I would want my laptop to act as a dhcp server for internet sharing... | 02:21 |
| Scunizi | Jon855, are you saying you don't have internet access on the laptop but you do on the desktop machines.. and you want wireless to work on the lappy? | 02:21 |
| alan_m | oh, i thought you had just come in, im sorry | 02:21 |
| Jester45 | could someone please look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60935/ and tell me what i should do to fix this | 02:21 |
| pkp | hai | 02:21 |

| Scunizi | Jon855, yea.. I just read your post before mine just before hitting the enter key... sorry I don't know how to setup DHCP on Ubuntu | 02:22 |
| cybertux | hi | 02:24 |
| Hansel | hi | 02:24 |
| mike__ | <Jester45> yes my host OS is Ubuntu and my guest os is XP | 02:24 |
| Scunizi | Jon855, In thinking about it wouldn't that require 2 nic cards.. in your case one wireless and one hardwired? If so do you want to provide dhcp via wireless to the other machines? or via the hardwire? | 02:24 |
| Jon855 | I already have a nic built into into my laptop, and the wifi is built into my laptop | 02:24 |
| Jon855 | I have it all. | 02:24 |
| Jon855 | Via hardwire to the machine | 02:25 |
| Jon855 | wifi is my internet source | 02:25 |
| Jon855 | Internet -> Wifi -> Laptop -> Ethernet -> desktop | 02:25 |
| Scunizi | Jon855, that was my point.. ok.. have you checked this out? http://ubuntulinuxhowto.blogspot.com/2006/06/setup-your-computer-to-be-router.html | 02:26 |

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

| 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 |

| 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 |

| BramCI | (sorry for my bad english) | 02:33 |

| 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 |

| jsteezey | graft you need to edit the xorg.conf file if you want to force it to use a certain resolution | 03:09 |

| Animortis | THat's on 7.10... | 03:09 |
| jsteezey | thats why your getting funky modes cuz your kvm is not telling x the proper resolution | 03:09 |
| jsteezey | ok | 03:09 |

| 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_ | 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 |

| 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 |
| chris062689 | !language rhonmbus | 03:51 |
| Animortis | Ack. Then... Can anyone tell me how to allow access Ubuntu from an XP PC? I'm getting "...is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. ..." | 03:51 |
| bazhang | err rhombus I mean 64 and 64 | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| cabron | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 04:58 |
| cellofellow | kindofabuzz_: I use the netspeed GNOME panel plugin to view speeds. Can be set to both B and b. | 04:58 |
| cabron | is only available from another source | 04:58 |
| cabron | E: Package unrar has no installation candidate" | 04:58 |
| FloodBot2 | cabron: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:58 |
| madman5402 | <bazhang> o hwy also how do you open up you firewall for azureus | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| 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, 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 |

| 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 |

| 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 |
| prince_jammys | careful with envy | 05:58 |
| sstoveld | hehe | 05:59 |
| hischild | Svenstaro, !!!! | 05:59 |

| anaoum | http://www.jungledisk.com | 06:02 |
| Svenstaro | mrpockets, okay, do you have a way to accept bluetooth connection on your computer? like a usb dongle or something? | 06:02 |
| sstoveld | ok guys, one more question before i install, do i need to wipe my drive first or can i do that when im installing with the iso im burning to disc? | 06:02 |
| 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 |
| sstoveld | haha support here is great :D | 06:02 |

| scream_sayonara | i cant play my john saffran dvds.... ive downloaded a couple of different players but they all need plugins and when i go to the help pages there are never any links.. just words which make little to no sense to me | 06:03 |
| hischild | Svenstaro, you just so much made my day | 06:03 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld dont get discouraged when stuff breaks,of course it would suck if you couldn't even boot to ubuntu, tho theres little probabilty that you cant | 06:03 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: can you play any dvds? | 06:03 |
| sstoveld | http://www.weboptimist.com/images/microsoft_tech_support.jpg | 06:04 |
| Svenstaro | hischild :) | 06:04 |
| sstoveld | yeah, that wouldnt be too fun :( | 06:04 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld whats your video card and processor? | 06:04 |
| scream_sayonara | nah.. totem will play the first title screen and stop, and caffeine just says that it doesnt have the plugin | 06:04 |

| sstoveld | :) | 06:05 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: that's the key library | 06:05 |
| sstoveld | only 1.5gb of ram, problem? or am i good there? | 06:05 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, sadly ATI doesnt like Linux so their drivers are a bit meh | 06:05 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, you will feel okay even with 512, but no lower | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz_ | sstoveld: you're good, i only have 756 | 06:05 |
| sstoveld | oh so i do need drivers? i thought you didnt need drivers? | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz_ | or whatevr it is | 06:05 |
| scream_sayonara | but what does that mean? can i check somehow if its on here? | 06:05 |
| kindofabuzz_ | 764 | 06:06 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, well of course you need drivers, just htat you dont need to care about them :) | 06:06 |

| Svenstaro | sstoveld, CS2 does like a charm, not CS3 yet | 06:08 |
| sstoveld | well thats fine, i prefer photoshop cs2 better :) | 06:08 |
| hischild | Svenstaro, there are good alternatives to it though =) | 06:08 |
| Svenstaro | sure there are, they yet have to top photoshop tho :( | 06:08 |
| sstoveld | but whatabout dreamweaver and flash? i need to go with flash 8 and dreamweaver 8? | 06:09 |

| Svenstaro | sstoveld, all the CS2 tools work like a charm | 06:10 |

| Svenstaro | CS3 works like garbae :( | 06:10 |
| belkinhelp2 | have any of you experienced the following problem: When I watch video clips from youtube or google it seems that every now and again the audio "stutters" anywhere from a second to a few seconds, then the clip continues to play normally.

| Radit | Is there a any program to manage psd files, like acdsee in ubuntu? | 06:11 |

| andross | hi anybody knows how to fix the sound problem with the 82801H (ICH8 Family) card? I know i have to download a package but I dont remember it's name. | 06:11 |
| belkinhelp2 | im using ubuntu 7.10 with all the latest updates | 06:11 |
| belkinhelp2 | i have firefox on my windows machine and it doesnt do it there | 06:12 |
| belkinhelp2 | thats why i thought it was an ubunutu issue | 06:12 |
| belkinhelp2 | perhaps something along the lines of memory allocation or virtual memory | 06:12 |
| sstoveld | ok installing ubuntu right now, i probably want to check cd for defects firsth eh? | 06:12 |
| Svenstaro | belkinhelp2, are you using adobe flash? | 06:12 |
| sstoveld | first* | 06:12 |
| belkinhelp2 | ubunut has a page file, or swap file i imagine just like windows does correct? | 06:12 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, no you dont | 06:12 |
| belkinhelp2 | svenstaro...thats a good question | 06:13 |
| kindofabuzz_ | Svenstaro: yeah, youtube has to use flash | 06:13 |
| sstoveld | no? just go with Start or install ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| belkinhelp2 | kindo...yeah i think your right | 06:13 |
| anaoum | what package do i install for a text based irc client on linux? | 06:13 |
| Svenstaro | kindofabuzz_, theres adobe flash and openflash, which i dont remember the name of | 06:13 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, yes | 06:13 |
| prince_jammys | sstoveld: yes. checking for defects is optional | 06:13 |
| kindofabuzz_ | Svenstaro: gnash i think | 06:13 |
| belkinhelp2 | svenstaro...let me look at the browser plugin list...brb | 06:14 |
| sstoveld | k | 06:14 |
| kindofabuzz_ | when i installed flash on fresh install it gave me option of gnash | 06:14 |
| sstoveld | here we go :D | 06:14 |
| Svenstaro | anaoum, its called "bitchx" | 06:14 |

| Radit | Svenstaro: When clicking a psd file through nautilus, f-spot doesn't shows a white image instead of the image.. does nautilus show psd files like thumbnails? | 06:14 |
| Svenstaro | Radit, not by default, you might need a plugin for that | 06:14 |
| 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 |

| j_ | Hey, How many Bytes are in a BMP PIXEL????? | 06:35 |
| marjan | !unrar | 06:35 |

| Ademan_ | j_: 24 generally | 06:35 |
| j_ | right, but there can be from like 1 to 32? | 06:36 |
| scream_sayonara | nah they both still say they will not | 06:36 |
| moe_ | hay i removed vista last week and i'm using ubuntu and i just have to say UBUNTU IS THE BEST (OS) THE WORLD WILL EVER SEE but i got it all right i just nead some help can anyone please help me | 06:36 |
| j_ | er | 06:36 |
| j_ | 24 sry | 06:36 |
| j_ | i mean | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: first let's see if we got step one out of the way: apt-cache policy libdvdcss2 | 06:36 |
| j_ | 1-12 | 06:36 |
| j_ | 1-24 | 06:36 |
| j_ | 1 is like gray | 06:36 |
| zewb | they have synchronet for ubuntu but i don't like synchronet that much | 06:36 |
| scream_sayonara | yeah thats on there | 06:36 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: ok | 06:37 |
| zewb | i wish there was a telnet bbs server in the ubuntu repo | 06:37 |
| Ademan_ | j_: well 24 bits anyways, and i'm not quite sure exactly how "low" it will go, 1 bit per pixel would be monochrome, which i didn't think it supported | 06:37 |
| Ademan_ | zewb: lol! | 06:37 |
| j_ | yes | 06:37 |
| j_ | mono | 06:37 |
| j_ | 1 = monochrome palette. NumColors = 1 | 06:37 |
| j_ | 4 = 4bit palletized. NumColors = 16 | 06:37 |
| j_ | 8 = 8bit palletized. NumColors = 256 | 06:37 |
| j_ | 16 = 16bit RGB. NumColors = 65536 (?) | 06:37 |
| j_ | 24 = 24bit RGB. NumColors = 16M | 06:37 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: you use Totem ? | 06:37 |
| j_ | but this teacher of mine | 06:37 |
| j_ | asked a question, how many bytes are in 1 pixel on a BMP | 06:38 |
| j_ | so i was like WTF | 06:38 |
| j_ | was a singular | 06:38 |
| j_ | answer | 06:38 |
| scream_sayonara | ive got totem and kaffeine | 06:38 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: use "synaptic" or "sudo apt-get install" the plug-ins in this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/codecs.html | 06:39 |
| Ademan_ | anyone here use something other than gnome-terminal and konsole ? i'm not dissatisfied, just curious if there's anything else worthwhile out there, and no one say xterm :-p | 06:39 |
| prince_jammys | scream_sayonara: dvds are a pain, because of legal issues | 06:39 |
| prince_jammys | Ademan_: yakuake | 06:40 |
| prince_jammys | Ademan_: or "tilda" for gnome | 06:40 |
| Ademan_ | prince_jammys: ah yeah, forgot about those, they're pretty cool, ultimately i decided i didn't need them though | 06:40 |
| j_ | my teacher hadme write a paper on opensource stuff today ;D, was about linux check it out | 06:40 |
| Ademan_ | i just discovered Eterm, but that didn't provide anything terribly exciting imho | 06:40 |
| prince_jammys | Ademan_: i can't live without my yakuake | 06:40 |
| j_ | http://www.firstmonday.org/issues/issue3_3/raymond/ | 06:41 |
| etyl | Hi, my mouse isn't working. Can anyone tell me the default shortcut for either the gnome menu or the equivalent of windows' start>run ? | 06:41 |
| j_ | ctrl f2? | 06:41 |
| sstoveld | hey guys, i seem to be having a problem installing ubuntu, can anyone help? | 06:41 |
| j_ | etyl | 06:41 |

| bazhang | etyl: alt f2 | 06:41 |
| j_ | alt f2, sry | 06:41 |
| etyl | j_, thanks, now i can google on something other than the console :) | 06:42 |
| Ademan_ | !ask | sstoveld | 06:42 |
| ubotu | sstoveld: 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. :-) | 06:42 |
| j_ | lol | 06:42 |
| sstoveld | :) ok | 06:42 |
| j_ | why did they wanna make Kubuntu a whole new release | 06:42 |
| sstoveld | well im trying to install ubuntu, but im having a problem. i boot from cd, choose start or install linux, then i get the status bar saying loading linux kernet, then it goes to some black screen, then my monitors go blank, and the lights on them flash like they would if the computer were turned off, and my keyboard lights are flashing too | 06:43 |
| j_ | ok | 06:44 |
| Svenstaro_ | sstoveld, I got you, please try hardy | 06:44 |
| j_ | well i know sstoveld | 06:44 |
| Svenstaro_ | sstoveld, sadly you have an ACPI problem :( | 06:44 |
| sstoveld | hardy? | 06:44 |
| j_ | you need to load up safe mode, cuz of your video drivers, or Mobo | 06:44 |
| j_ | just do safe | 06:44 |
| Svenstaro_ | sstoveld, the development version, hang on, it fixes the prob | 06:44 |
| sstoveld | oh, so try it in safe mode? ok let me try that | 06:44 |
| prince_jammys | sstoveld: or use the alternate cd | 06:44 |
| Iceman_B | greetings, anyone know how to make a SATA drive visible in 7.10 ? | 06:44 |
| light50 | does anyone know if ooo has support channel? | 06:45 |
| Svenstaro_ | prince_jammys he wont have success booting the system after installing from alternate | 06:45 |
| j_ | nono sstoveld, same happened to me, just use the Safe install, like second option down on boot screen | 06:45 |
| Iceman_B | I have 2 sata drives, the first one seems to have both paritions mounted, the second one(sdb?) is nohere to eb found | 06:45 |
| sstoveld | ok let me try it quick | 06:45 |
| zewb | does anyone know of any unofficial repositories that would have telnet bbs software? | 06:45 |
| spartan7 | can anyone help me with my sound? | 06:45 |
| prince_jammys | Svenstaro_: you mean he has no option other than installing hardy? | 06:45 |
| sstoveld | Start Ubuntu in safe graphics mode? | 06:45 |
| sstoveld | this will install it? | 06:46 |
| Svenstaro_ | prince_jammys if he's bitten by the ACPI problem, then yes | 06:46 |
| Svenstaro_ | sstoveld, yes try that first | 06:46 |
| sstoveld | ok | 06:46 |
| === lipsin_ is now known as lipsin | ||
| sstoveld | nope, no good | 06:46 |
| foobar | exit | 06:47 |
| 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 |

| 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 |

| sstoveld | oh you mean delete the quiet splash stuff? | 08:20 |

| 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 |

| 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 |

| tarkus | anyone running ubuntu on a laptop? im wondering how the battery life compares to in windows. | 08:53 |
| Svenstaro__ | I'm tarkus | 08:53 |
| sstoveld | ooh | 08:53 |
| Svenstaro__ | tarkus, about 3 hours when actively working, 2.5h when playing, 4-5h when wardriving :) | 08:53 |
| sstoveld | ok cool, how do i get back to my desktop? | 08:53 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, not quite yet :) type "sudo envy -t" | 08:54 |
| Svenstaro__ | if it asks, yes you want to install dependencies | 08:54 |
| tarkus | Svenstaro__, thanks, but that doesnt tell me much. i dont know what kind of battery, what kind of system.. i just need to know what is the rated battery life on your system (windows)? | 08:54 |
| sstoveld | oh haha ok | 08:54 |
| Svenstaro__ | tarkus, 4.5h, but its an OLD battery | 08:55 |
| sstoveld | install the ATI driver? | 08:55 |
| Svenstaro__ | yes | 08:55 |
| Svenstaro__ | and hope, a lot | 08:55 |
| GEIS | how do i rename an whole entire mount point | 08:55 |
| arooni | ok team..... with xvidcap.... it records at 1280x1024.... but what video sharing site (free) can i upload at decent resolution? the video looks pretty bad when i reduce it to 320x240 (youtube quality) .... or is there a better way to record? | 08:55 |
| tarkus | Svenstaro__, so would you say its about the same as windows? or would you say its better? worse? | 08:55 |
| sstoveld | *hopes* :D | 08:55 |
| Svenstaro__ | arooni, find a FTP server | 08:56 |
| Addy | friend of mine is a faggot | 08:56 |
| Addy | [01:47:18] <Xlembros> Can any one be able to help me fix this , i installed ubuntu with all drive space and now i go and try to install window it says drive not found | 08:56 |
| GEIS | how do i rename an whole entire mount point | 08:56 |
| Svenstaro__ | tarkus, I'd say that after you've compiled a custom slow-mo laptop kernel its better than windows, just be sure not to wake up the kernel too often by deactivating as many services as poss | 08:56 |
| bazhang | language Addy | 08:56 |
| Addy | Sorry. | 08:56 |
| tarkus | Addy, haha. thats funny | 08:57 |
| Addy | I laughed too. | 08:57 |
| tarkus | Svenstaro__, good to know, thanks. | 08:57 |
| Addy | he's been bugging us forever | 08:57 |
| Addy | [01:55:30] <Xlembros> like i said addy i could care less if it was mine but its not mine now i am helping some one even if you dont care about me getting it fixed think about how i was only doing it for some one else who wanted ubuntu | 08:58 |
| tarkus | lmao!! | 08:58 |
| tarkus | thats awesome | 08:58 |
| Addy | aha | 08:58 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, do i want my xorg.conf to be automatically configured? | 08:58 |
| Addy | there he is | 08:58 |
| Jaffarkelshac | does anyone not know how to use the menu-xdg | 08:58 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, yes, prolly | 08:58 |
| Addy | I explained it to them wolf | 08:58 |
| GEIS | how do i rename an whole entire mount point | 08:58 |
| Xlembros | Can any one be able to help me fix this , i installed ubuntu with all drive space and now i go and try to install window it says drive not found | 08:58 |
| Addy | rather, I pasted what you said | 08:58 |
| sstoveld | ok now restart computer? | 08:58 |
| Svenstaro__ | yes, and hope :) | 08:59 |
| tarkus | hahaha | 08:59 |
| sstoveld | here we go! | 08:59 |
| Addy | here's an idea | 08:59 |
| sstoveld | please please please! | 08:59 |
| Addy | read before you post | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: What mount point are you wanting to rename? And to what? And what device? | 08:59 |
| GEIS | mountpoint / to /example | 08:59 |
| bazhang | Xlembros: best to ask in ##windows; that will likely require a low-level format as it is a common issue with windows | 08:59 |
| 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 |
| Addy | :P | 08:59 |
| Xlembros | oh FFS | 08:59 |
| Addy | calm down | 09:00 |
| Addy | no one's here to wipe your ass | 09:00 |
| bazhang | language again Addy Xlembros | 09:00 |
| Addy | >_> | 09:00 |
| tarkus | :P | 09:00 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, ok i now get something telling me ubuntu is running in low graphics mode, this is where it messef up last time when i hit Configure | 09:00 |

| sstoveld | Svenstaro, yes | 09:02 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: hmm. Renaming / to /example is probably not a good idea | 09:02 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, okay well better than nothing, prefer working here or in text console? we'll need to fix up X a bit | 09:02 |
| moonlight | hello, tell me please, what's the difference between apt and aptitude? | 09:03 |

| sstoveld | hehe | 10:04 |
| DistroJockey | Jack_Sparrow: :) | 10:04 |
| sstoveld | i was wondering about it :P | 10:04 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, You have one of the hardest cards we run across | 10:04 |
| sunny1 | how to get the nice termial fonts (in Konsole under X) when in framebuffer mode...i.e., inittab we have default runlevel = 3 | 10:04 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld lets just try vesa :) change the xorg.conf driver to VESA from fglrx and do the shortcut | 10:05 |
| sstoveld | figures, i always buy pieces of crap ;) | 10:05 |
| D|STORT|ON | i love how fast my comp is with 50 windows open :D sure beats Winblows | 10:05 |

| Jack_Sparrow | 1024x768 | 10:05 |
| Svenstaro__ | crap! | 10:05 |
| D|STORT|ON | <vallhalla81> may be your Pc is overheating ? | 10:06 |
| sstoveld | sorry, i didnt see them :( | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | Jack_Sparrow: The adding pastebin should be in the topic. Very nice! | 10:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DistroJockey, cool tool | 10:06 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, cut that, we need both displays at higher ress | 10:06 |
| DistroJockey | Jack_Sparrow: indeed | 10:06 |
| hischild_ | D|STORT|ON, i don't have any trouble with virtuablx. | 10:06 |
| vallhalla81 | D|STORT|ON: no temp is low it was the first thin i checked | 10:06 |
| sstoveld | oh, dont change it to vesa? | 10:06 |
| Svenstaro__ | no, wont do any good | 10:06 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) is a good one | 10:06 |
| Svenstaro__ | well it will work at a *tad* higher ress, still not what you want tho | 10:06 |

| Jack_Sparrow | vallhalla81, what video card and or driver.. any outside sources added? | 10:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | noclue, if you have ati and video is tearing you need to disable compiz in the xorg | 10:07 |
| Jack_Sparrow | composite | 10:07 |
| D|STORT|ON | i upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04 and had crash repor after crash report , um the hardware test was smooth tho i started getting these crash reports when i opend firefox 3 beta | 10:07 |
| sstoveld | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) is a good one, Jack_Sparrow, was that to me? | 10:07 |
| vallhalla81 | nvidia card and glx | 10:08 |
| noclue | Jack_Sparrow: i have NVIDIA and composite disabled. ;) | 10:08 |
| Svenstaro__ | this ati is giving me headaches | 10:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | D|STORT|ON, Please note you are in the wrong channel for Hardy.. | 10:08 |
| D|STORT|ON | oh | 10:08 |
| D|STORT|ON | k | 10:08 |
| DistroJockey | Jack_Sparrow, vallhalla81: or run it on display :1 instead of :0 ? | 10:08 |
| sunny1 | can someone help we with console fonts please | 10:08 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, no.. just tossing some examples of usefull pastebin commands | 10:08 |
| sstoveld | oh ok | 10:09 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, go to system admin and choose restricted drivers | 10:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, did you run fglrxinfo ? | 10:09 |
| vallhalla81 | DistroJockey: how do i do that? | 10:09 |
| sstoveld | Jack_Sparrow, what is fglrxinfo? :S | 10:09 |
| Jack_Sparrow | DistroJockey, you can also get vreative sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cp /etc/fstab ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && sudo fdisk -l >> ~/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt && cat /home/$USER/Desktop/Partition_Layout.txt | pastebinit (Provide Pastebin link in channel) | 10:10 |

| sstoveld | ATI Accelerated Graphics Driver | 10:10 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, a command you type in terminal | 10:10 |
| Svenstaro__ | *sigh* | 10:10 |
| brunner | how stable is hurdy? | 10:11 |
| D|STORT|ON | whats the command to join multiple IRC servers it was /server -m irc.*****.** | 10:11 |

| tam-sco | hi | 10:11 |
| sstoveld | The program 'fglrxinfo' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 10:11 |
| sstoveld | sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx | 10:11 |
| brunner | Jack_Sparrow: I mean, in practical terms, is X going to break randomly with an upgrade, or is it just less stable non-core packages? | 10:11 |
| Jack_Sparrow | do that..yes | 10:11 |
| brunner | I remember Debian testing would randomly have horrible issues | 10:12 |
| brunner | that broke X | 10:12 |
| brunner | often | 10:12 |
| brunner | but Ubuntu seems so much more stable, is gutsy is any measure | 10:12 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brunner, If in doubt, dual boot Gutsy and Hardy | 10:12 |
| sstoveld | Errors were encountered while processing: | 10:12 |
| sstoveld | /var/cache/apt/archives/xorg-driver-fglrx_7.1.0-8.37.6+2.6.22.4-14.10_amd64.deb | 10:12 |
| sstoveld | E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) | 10:12 |
| noclue | no one has an idea huh? | 10:12 |
| brunner | Jack_Sparrow: are people using Hardy as their daily distro? | 10:12 |
| DistroJockey | vallhalla81: You probably won't get any window decorations, but it may play better | 10:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brunner, yes, quite a few | 10:13 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, what does sudo apt-get update get you? | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | me me me :) | 10:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, Are you running ubuntu 64 bit? | 10:13 |
| sstoveld | Jack_Sparrow yes | 10:13 |
| brunner | DistroJockey: have you had any major issues? | 10:13 |
| tam-sco | need some explaination installing ubuntu from a MSF OS without any CD drive | 10:13 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld, you were running ubuntu x64 all the time and didnt tell me? :( | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | brunner: not really, bit buggy on shutdown and a little Java issue so far | 10:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, I usually recommend that new users stick with 32bit until they get a handle on how things are done in linux/ubuntu... | 10:14 |
| D|STORT|ON | MSF OS ? | 10:14 |
| brunner | DistroJockey: excellent. thanks! | 10:14 |
| sstoveld | oh man... seriously? | 10:14 |
| tam-sco | MSF == microsoft | 10:14 |
| DistroJockey | brunner: np :) | 10:14 |
| vallhalla81 | do you think it may be because i am runnin standard distro on a 64 box? | 10:14 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Svenstaro__, :) | 10:14 |
| Svenstaro__ | sstoveld is x64 requirement for oyu? | 10:14 |
| sstoveld | wow, my bad... | 10:14 |
| === Svenstaro__ is now known as Svenstaro | ||
| Jack_Sparrow | vallhalla81, no, 32 bit on 64 box is fine | 10:14 |
| Svenstaro | that would have saved us headaches big time | 10:14 |
| brunner | I love 64-bit ubuntu. The only issue I've had is that the Flash hack of a plugin crashes occasionally, but it's not too often | 10:15 |
| sstoveld | well no, at the ubuntu website it asked what kind of processor i have | 10:15 |
| sstoveld | so i chose x64 | 10:15 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, is there any reason you want x64? | 10:15 |
| sstoveld | im sorry guys, i didnt realize | 10:15 |
| sstoveld | nope | 10:15 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, I understand... not a biggie.. | 10:15 |
| DistroJockey | I've had very bad experience with 64bit, so I stick with 32 | 10:15 |
| brunner | slight performance gain? | 10:15 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld I dont think you could have known, its just that 32bit makes things a whole lot easier for new users | 10:15 |
| sstoveld | ok so go download 32 bit? | 10:15 |
| brunner | DistroJockey: what was your experience? | 10:15 |
| Svenstaro | yes | 10:15 |
| Lamego | I have no problems using 64 bits | 10:15 |
| brunner | same here | 10:16 |
| Svenstaro | this time it will most liekely work like intented sstoveld | 10:16 |
| sstoveld | hehe | 10:16 |
| Jack_Sparrow | brunner, agreed, slight performance gain.. but for a new user it can get more complicated | 10:16 |
| brunner | (almost) no problems with 64-bit ubuntu... just the minor flash issue | 10:16 |
| sstoveld | my bad again guys, really sorry | 10:16 |
| brunner | Jack_Sparrow: fair enough | 10:16 |
| DistroJockey | brunner: it not working :) Was a while ago, so I forget the specifics. | 10:16 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld its okay | 10:16 |
| D|STORT|ON | brunner my exsperience with 64bit in xp x64 bit there was one hellova performance gain when it came to multitasking | 10:16 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld this way you learned some nice console commands at least | 10:16 |
| Lamego | sstoveld, what is your problem ? I am not seeing a relation with the 64 bits | 10:16 |
| DistroJockey | brunner: and don't have 64bit CPU at home, so havn'nt played in that realm much | 10:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lamego, agreed, his problem is not related to 64 bit | 10:17 |
| Svenstaro | Lamego, there is a huge problem doing ATI and x64 for a newbie | 10:17 |
| brunner | hmm... I have three Screens show up in "Screen and Graphics Preferences"... is there any way to identify them? | 10:17 |
| brunner | I'm using a new laptop | 10:17 |
| brunner | I haven't plugged in an external monitor yet | 10:17 |
| Lamego | Svenstaro, uh ? What is the difference when using the repository driver ? | 10:17 |
| tam-sco | anyone? | 10:17 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lamego, question, if someone has installed with wubi and they need to run a livecd to make an edit is it possible | 10:18 |
| brunner | and on my last computer, I used nvidia-config as well, which won't work anymore since this is Intel graphics | 10:18 |
| Svenstaro | Lamego that it simply doesnt work and there are lots of problems in conjunction with ACPI | 10:18 |
| sstoveld | haha, yeah, new commands always nice to learn :D | 10:18 |
| sstoveld | ok what do i need to download to be able to burn this iso? | 10:18 |
| brunner | sstoveld: if you want to learn one someone else's computer, grab a shell at silenceisdefeat.org | 10:18 |
| sstoveld | is there something already installed here? | 10:18 |
| Lamego | Jack_Sparrow, I don't use wubi myself, but yes, you can loopback mount it | 10:18 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld "k3b" is what you want | 10:18 |
| brunner | that way you don't risk messing anything up | 10:18 |
| brunner | s/one/on | 10:19 |
| Lamego | Svenstaro, I had ATI with 64 bits without any issues | 10:19 |
| DistroJockey | brunner: I guess the one you are using is the one listed in Section "ServerLayout" in your xorg.conf | 10:19 |
| sstoveld | ok, look for it in synaptic? | 10:19 |
| Svenstaro | Lamego then you might just be able to help us here with sstoveld | 10:19 |

| Svenstaro | noclue, not here | 10:19 |
| brunner | DistroJockey: well, I know I'm using Screen 1 at the moment... I just don't know which screen is my VGA out | 10:19 |

| brunner | I wish it were possible to enable secondary screens without restarting X =/ | 10:22 |
| Svenstaro | SimonLarsen /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:22 |
| Lamego | Jack_Sparrow, an wubi install is a file based FS that you can mount an access to, just as you do with a regular partition | 10:22 |
| DistroJockey | brunner: Xorg 7.3 should do that I think ? Anyone? | 10:22 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lamego, how do you mount a file based ubuntu install from a livecd | 10:23 |
| SimonLarsen | Svenstaro: Thanks. Couldn't remember it. (Used to Suse) | 10:23 |
| Svenstaro | SimonLarsen never use Suse again :) | 10:23 |
| Lamego | Jack_Sparrow, uh ? mount -o loopack ? | 10:23 |
| Lamego | after mouting the ntfs partition ? | 10:24 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro: I'll be installing it when 11 is out :) | 10:24 |
| Svenstaro | All ubuntu cds kinda work with one file through squashfs | 10:24 |

| ubotu | Condor: 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. :-) | 10:26 |
| vallhalla81 | !ita | 10:26 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ita - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:26 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, when i install this, will i have to delete the quiet splash stuff again? | 10:26 |
| Condor | speak italian? | 10:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !it | 10:26 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 10:26 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld most liekely not, hopefully :) | 10:26 |
| sstoveld | :D | 10:26 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Condor, but since you speak english, you are also welcome here | 10:26 |
| Condor | thank you | 10:27 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld this is a issue caused by ubuntu usplash fixed in hardy tho | 10:27 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld be aware that your screen may go idle again and you have to interact to wake it up | 10:27 |
| FYI | any good graphing calculators for linux? | 10:27 |
| Svenstaro | qalculate! | 10:27 |
| sstoveld | ok finished burning, any quick easy way of doing this? or same as last time | 10:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, one sec | 10:28 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld what do you mean ? | 10:28 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, Make note of this.. At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--" | 10:28 |
| sstoveld | do i just retart and boot from cd and do that again? or can i just run the cd from ubuntu? | 10:28 |
| DistroJockey | sstoveld: Got a spare HDD to play with? | 10:28 |
| FYI | does qalculate graph? | 10:29 |
| [[thufir]] | how do I search for "ruby-all" in synaptic? | 10:29 |
| Svenstaro | yes, a bit FYI | 10:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, reboot with the cd in place.. | 10:29 |
| sstoveld | DistroJockey, nope | 10:29 |
| Svenstaro | [[thufir]] apt-cache search ruby-all | 10:29 |
| sstoveld | ok thanks guys, rebooting | 10:29 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, you might not have to do all that removing splash and stuff, so try without fierst | 10:29 |
| DistroJockey | sstoveld: The HDD you are using does not have any data you need? | 10:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Svenstaro, on a 64bit.. I can almost guarrantee he will need to modify the command line | 10:30 |
| Svenstaro | he is on 32bit now | 10:30 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Svenstaro, 64bit hardware | 10:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | not to mention the ati 800 | 10:31 |
| [[thufir]] | Svenstaro: apt is updating at the moment; what if ruby-all isn't there? | 10:31 |
| Svenstaro | uhm, yeah the ati is nasty | 10:31 |
| Svenstaro | [[thufir]] then you are screwed and you ahve to find a repo that contains it, but i know ubuntu features it | 10:31 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Svenstaro, I remove quiet and splash from all of my installs just to be able to see what is working..or not | 10:32 |
| shockhead | hi folks, anyone know if apt-get has been changed recently to NOT ask for confirmation on upgrades? mine didn't ask... :-( | 10:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find ruby | 10:32 |
| ubotu | Found: libruby1.8, libruby1.8-dbg, libsvn-ruby, libsvn-ruby1.8, ruby (and 347 others) | 10:32 |
| shockhead | running hardy | 10:32 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !find ruby-all | 10:33 |
| ubotu | No packages matching 'ruby-all' could be found | 10:33 |
| Doskra | anyone know if the fakeraid howto still works correctly with hardy heron ? | 10:33 |
| DistroJockey | shockhead: noticed that with single packages, might wanna check in #ubuntu+1 though | 10:33 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !hardy | 10:33 |
| 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 | 10:33 |
| Svenstaro | Doskra, i wouldnt count on it, seeing as hardy uses another virtual filesystem | 10:33 |
| Doskra | Svenstaro mhm thats bad | 10:33 |
| shockhead | DistroJockey: thanks | 10:33 |
| DistroJockey | shockhead: np | 10:34 |
| Doskra | does ubuntu work if booted from usb drive ? | 10:34 |
| === jdh6403 is now known as jdh6403-work | ||
| [[thufir]] | Svenstaro: I feel silly. it was ruby-full | 10:34 |
| Lamego | Jack_Sparrow, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide , plenty of instructions, including mounting the wubi image files | 10:34 |
| Svenstaro | Doskra, yup it does | 10:34 |
| Doskra | Svenstaro right thanks | 10:34 |
| Svenstaro | you can even boot it from floppys | 10:34 |
| Svenstaro | with enough spare time that is | 10:34 |
| Doskra | i guess thatll be good enough to make my code cross platform compatible | 10:34 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Doskra, Make an iso on usb bootable http://jak-linux.org/tmp/iso2usb.sh | 10:34 |
| Doskra | Svenstaro i take it the floppy switching would take the most time | 10:35 |
| sstoveld | ok guys, installing now :D | 10:35 |
| Doskra | Jack_Sparrow do i need that even tough im booting from a usb hdd ? | 10:35 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, any issues? | 10:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Lamego, I was hoping for something more direct that just the wubi wiki | 10:35 |
| sstoveld | didnt have to remove quiest splash or anything, worked perfect | 10:35 |
| * Svenstaro grins | 10:35 | |
| sstoveld | hehe | 10:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Doskra, no... | 10:35 |
| suprie | i want to ask how to install rails in ubuntu, but not quite sure if this the right place | 10:35 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Doskra, the problem you may have is where grub puts the bootloader or sees the mbr | 10:36 |
| sstoveld | oh ok so yeah, like in windows to check my hd and see how much space i had, i would go to my computer > C:, how do i do this in ubuntu? | 10:36 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !rails | 10:36 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about rails - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 10:36 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, console version is simply "df -h" shows you all partitions and space | 10:37 |
| brunner | woah | 10:37 |
| Lamego | Jack_Sparrow, CTRL-F, "mounting the virtual disks" | 10:37 |
| humblerodent | Anybody use F-Spot? I've been fiddling with it and it seems really slick but it imported my photos and read the date/time as 7 hours off....:P | 10:37 |
| foldart_ | !info rails | suprie | 10:37 |
| brunner | hardy will allow you to install ubuntu from windows? | 10:37 |
| ubotu | suprie: rails (source: rails): MVC ruby based framework geared for web application development. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.4-1ubuntu1.1 (gutsy), package size 2230 kB, installed size 16136 kB | 10:37 |
| brunner | that really kicks ass. | 10:37 |
| sstoveld | oh ok, thanks :D | 10:37 |
| Doskra | Jack_Sparrow hmpf i guess ill dig through the spare parts again to see if i can find an old pata controller | 10:37 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld nautilus also shows you it graphically i think | 10:37 |
| suprie | yes ... i know, but what i've tried is install the ruby through rubg gems | 10:37 |
| suprie | ruby gems | 10:37 |
| Lamego | anyway, loopback mounting a file is not wubi specific, is something that you should understand in general when using linux | 10:37 |
| suprie | i want to use rails 2.0 | 10:38 |
| Doskra | and pray that grub doesnt fuck up anything on the raid1 | 10:38 |
| sstoveld | gotcha, ok and what about disk defrag? i used to use diskeeper, is that available on ubuntu? | 10:38 |
| Lamego | !defrag | 10:38 |
| ubotu | The default Ubuntu filesystem (ext3) is engineered to avoid fragmentation issues in most cases, see http://linkpot.net/behead/ for a simple example on how it achieves this. A package "defrag" is available in !Universe, however its use is not safe, and is generally not needed. | 10:38 |
| jussi01 | !ohmy | Doskra | 10:38 |
| ubotu | Doskra: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 10:38 |
| sstoveld | ooh nice | 10:38 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, by the way, there are virtually no viri and malware programs for linux :) | 10:39 |
| suprie | sstoveld, yes, you don't need diskdefrag on ext3 | 10:39 |
| Doskra | Svenstaro its only a matter of time | 10:39 |
| sstoveld | hehe :D i like the sound of no viri | 10:39 |
| sstoveld | which means no need for an antivirus? | 10:40 |
| Doskra | sstoveld no need for it right now | 10:40 |
| Svenstaro | Doskra you be quiet! :P fact is that tricking the average linux user into something malicious is much ahrder than in windows | 10:40 |
| sstoveld | k | 10:40 |
| Doskra | and i doubt theres a good antivir for linux anyways | 10:40 |
| Doskra | Svenstaro thats true yeah | 10:40 |
| gullstad | Hello. I'v tried to install Paint.net on ubuntu 7.10, but It wont work, I just get an error msg, when I type "make" | 10:40 |
| Doskra | sudo makes it pretty hard | 10:40 |
| suprie | Svenstaro, yes, it just matter of time... but till that time arrive i guess we can relieve | 10:40 |
| Svenstaro | theres clamav, I use it to scan mails and stuff :) | 10:40 |
| spikeb | clamAV is there. | 10:40 |
| Svenstaro | gullstads, isnt there like a package for it? | 10:40 |
| Doskra | virus writers should really start to make the viri wine compatible | 10:41 |
| Doskra | i want my fair share of em | 10:41 |
| Svenstaro | yeah | 10:41 |
| Lamego | gullstad, the last time I have checked it required a newer mono version, not available on Ubuntu | 10:41 |
| suprie | Doskra, hahahahahahaha | 10:41 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld a full ubuntu backup of all your settings is usually smaller than 5mb in size :) | 10:41 |
| sstoveld | :O | 10:41 |
| Doskra | whats the best visual studio replacement on ubuntu ? | 10:42 |
| Svenstaro | code::Blocks | 10:42 |
| Svenstaro | I love it | 10:42 |
| Lamego | Doskra, monodevelop, I guess | 10:42 |
| larson9999 | so many apps so little time | 10:42 |
| gullstad | Lamego: So I cant install paint.net on ubuntu? | 10:42 |
| Lamego | well, code::blocks does not provide a gui designer | 10:42 |
| Svenstaro | it does! | 10:42 |
| Svenstaro | lies! | 10:42 |
| Lamego | it does ? | 10:42 |
| sstoveld | man for years my friends have been telling me to switch to linux, i cant believe it took me this long, after like 500 reformats due to windows | 10:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Doskra, BE awaree that that old pata controller may not work.... | 10:42 |
| chillitom | a kernel update has completely ruined my Xorg.. any easy way to remove and reinstall X to get the default settings regenerated? i tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but no luck, still reverts to failsafe each time. | 10:42 |

| Doskra | oh well i guess ill have to give it some time | 10:43 |
| Svenstaro | chillitom, do you know what went haywire? | 10:43 |
| suprie | !ping me | 10:43 |

| sstoveld | Jack_Sparrow, thanks | 10:43 |
| Lamego | Svenstaro, which type of GUIs ? glade ? WX RC ? | 10:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | Doskra, still a lot of hardware mfg doing the gates goose-step | 10:43 |
| Svenstaro | wx afaik | 10:43 |
| Lamego | ok | 10:43 |
| chillitom | Svenstaro, no idea what the problem is, it just goes to failsafe with vesa each time.. can't find a single log that doesn't report the failsafe config as the one being used. | 10:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | sstoveld, Got it working I presume | 10:44 |
| Svenstaro | chillitom you are not using ati by any chance? | 10:44 |
| Svenstaro | Jack_Sparrow yes 32bit did the trick - without changing the command line :) | 10:44 |
| chillitom | lspci doesn't list any ati devices | 10:44 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cool | 10:44 |
| Doskra | right last question | 10:44 |
| sstoveld | well its still installing :P, but i didnt have to delete quiet splash, and it worked :D | 10:44 |

| Svenstaro | sstoveld when you paste it into your xorg.conf, make sure to choose the correct BusIDs for your device | 11:14 |
| gaE4 | suprie, all the time, at first everything worked perfect, but than it wont anymore | 11:14 |
| Svenstaro | your current BusIDs are in your current xorg.conf, just remember those when copying it over | 11:14 |
| sstoveld | one sec, lemme get on irc on desktop | 11:14 |
| suprie | gaE4, yes, i guess there something wrong with wine on gutsy | 11:14 |

| Svenstaro | you can? | 11:16 |
| ricanelite | is there a RSS Application on Ubuntu Linux that reads xml file? | 11:16 |
| Svenstaro | why would you need to force it? | 11:17 |
| Budaboo | it's suggestin to add -force | 11:17 |
| Budaboo | to command | 11:17 |
| ricanelite | cause I have a bunch of feeds and i will like to view them on linux | 11:17 |
| bsdnewb07 | -force | 11:17 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld yes, but note the busid | 11:17 |
| Lamego | jtravnick, badblocks usually means your disk is experiencing physical problems | 11:17 |
| ricanelite | but when i export them onto my usb drive it comes up as a xml file | 11:17 |
| Svenstaro | it will need to be yours | 11:17 |
| huy | when it say this "for conffile in /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/*.conf; do | 11:17 |
| huy | sudo cat $conffile | sed -e 's/RadioState|1/RadioState|0/' > $conffile | 11:17 |
| huy | done" i have ot type in teh whole thing? | 11:17 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld also keep in mind that this most likely breaks your xorg.conf :) | 11:18 |
| sstoveld | hehe | 11:18 |
| jtravnick | Lamego, k thats what i thought but everything was fine last night when i shut down to go to bed | 11:18 |
| Svenstaro | Lamego got expeirence with ATI dual heads? | 11:18 |
| unop | huy, it's all one command, yes | 11:18 |
| Lamego | Svenstaro, no | 11:19 |
| sstoveld | do i replace my whole xorg.conf with just what he has there? | 11:19 |
| sstoveld | or just from under all the comments at the top? | 11:19 |
| sstoveld | or less? :P | 11:19 |
| huy | unop: but i got permission denied | 11:19 |
| suprie | gaE4, sorry i can't find the wine on my disk... | 11:19 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, replace everything with it | 11:20 |
| sstoveld | k | 11:20 |
| Svenstaro | BUT NOTE THE BUSID | 11:20 |
| gaE4 | suprie, hmm... ok! i think i will still play with ~70hz^ | 11:20 |
| sstoveld | lol what do i do with busid? | 11:20 |
| gaE4 | suprie, thx anyways | 11:20 |
| sstoveld | change it to 5:0:0? | 11:20 |
| Svenstaro | note it, and change it | 11:20 |
| Svenstaro | yes | 11:20 |
| Lamego | jtravnick, well, some disks don't warn when they are about to fail, special if they are old disks | 11:21 |
| suprie | gaE4, yw sorry can't help to solve your problem | 11:21 |
| sstoveld | ok saved | 11:21 |
| Budaboo | i have one hard drive that is Linux the other drive is windows/ntfs but will not boot (i suspect windows data corruption). would mounting the ntfs drive in Ubuntu cause one of those "not normally" situations? | 11:21 |
| Svenstaro | shortcut and hope, a LOT | 11:21 |
| cupcake | Svenstaro: i just installed it. but command not found on xterm | 11:21 |
| unop | huy, yea, you can try this -- sudo perl -i.bak -ple 's/RadioState\|1/RadioState\|0/' /etc/ndiswrapper/bcmwl5/*.conf | 11:21 |
| sstoveld | hehe ok here we go! | 11:21 |
| Lamego | you can boot from a live cd, and use the badblocks command to find and mark the badblocks, but, I would backup all the data and replace the disk, ASAP | 11:22 |
| jtravnick | Lamego, true and now that you mention that not sure how old this drive is. running fsck in maintenance mode on it right now | 11:22 |
| Svenstaro | cupcake "bittornado" on CLI should do it | 11:22 |
| sstoveld | yeah still cant change res :( | 11:22 |
| Svenstaro | 2 monitors now at least? | 11:23 |
| Lamego | jtravnick, I am not sure fsck does a surface scan, you will need a surface scan to check for the badblocks | 11:23 |
| cupcake | "bittornado" | 11:23 |
| cupcake | root@longwait-laptop:~# bittornado | 11:23 |
| cupcake | bash: bittornado: command not found | 11:23 |
| Lamego | Budaboo, that is not expected | 11:23 |
| cupcake | by the way, it's BLUE CAKE, not cup cake | 11:23 |
| Svenstaro | cupcake, rather try rtorrent then, I hear its pretty fancy and in ncurses | 11:23 |
| sstoveld | monitor still displays same as primary monitor, should i try to change it? | 11:23 |
| Budaboo | thanks | 11:23 |
| === cupcake is now known as bluecake | ||
| bluecake | ... | 11:24 |
| Svenstaro | uhm no, just your config make me wonder a bit | 11:24 |
| jtravnick | Lamego, was just doing what it told me to do | 11:24 |
| bluecake | shit i swear, i changed to bluecake | 11:24 |
| ricanelite | what is a good RSS Reader | 11:24 |
| Svenstaro | because basically it would break now big time | 11:24 |
| JarG0n | anyone here from Canonical? | 11:24 |
| sstoveld | haha | 11:24 |
| Lamego | jtravnick, well, after fsck run a badblocks just to be safe | 11:24 |
| Lamego | fsck will only check filesystem structures | 11:24 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld can you try the following | 11:24 |
| jtravnick | it wants to clone multiply=clamed blocks should i say yes? | 11:25 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld press ctrl alt f2 , login , type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 11:25 |
| kmanrox | guys, im trying to upgrade pidgin on my ubuntu.. which version should i d/l from pidgin.im? fedora? Source? | 11:25 |
| sstoveld | hm let me log back into laptop for this | 11:25 |
| Svenstaro | kmanrox, just use your trusty synaptic | 11:25 |
| suprie | kmanrox, source | 11:25 |
| Lamego | kmanrox, are you familiar on building from source ? | 11:25 |
| kmanrox | no im a total newb to this | 11:26 |
| kmanrox | and not a techy type | 11:26 |
| Svenstaro | then dont build from source :) | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | kmanrox, if you MUST have the latest - You will want to recompile from source.. And that will take some learning. | 11:26 |
| kmanrox | sheisse | 11:26 |
| Svenstaro | language | 11:26 |
| sstoveld | ok what was the command again? | 11:26 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld press ctrl alt f2 , login , type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop | 11:26 |
| Dr_willis | kmanrox, Its not hard. Just a lot of little things to watch out for. | 11:26 |
| kmanrox | :) | 11:26 |
| suprie | kmanrox, well you can try | 11:26 |
| Lamego | kmanrox, you can get the latest version from getdeb, or just keep with the repository version | 11:26 |
| kmanrox | kk | 11:27 |
| sstoveld | ok its stopped | 11:27 |
| Svenstaro | goodie, now type "startx" | 11:27 |
| kmanrox | iĺl eventually fingure ubuntu out, its been installed a whole 19 minutes :) | 11:27 |
| sstoveld | fatal error, no screens found | 11:27 |

| DarkSpirit221 | Hi, can I set up an access point with a wireless router in ubuntu? Will it work with every routers? | 11:28 |
| Svenstaro | Lamego, that config doesnt do dual screen | 11:29 |
| Lamego | ah, dual screen, sorry, didn't read the all thread :P | 11:29 |
| unop_ | DarkSpirit221, that's something you configure on the wireless router -- not in ubuntu -- you just connect ubuntu upto that access point | 11:29 |

| sstoveld | i did what lamego said, then i read what you said so i just kept hitting esc til i got out of it | 11:31 |
| Christoz | so simple? | 11:31 |
| sstoveld | then i tried startx again | 11:31 |
| sstoveld | and now resolution back to normal | 11:31 |
| unop_ | DarkSpirit221, and you wan't your NintendoDS to connect upto ubuntu rather than to the router? | 11:31 |
| Svenstaro | but still single screen? | 11:31 |

| Svenstaro | ah yeah, that one needs gdm, not necessary now | 11:32 |
| Svenstaro | yeah prolly you can do that | 11:32 |
| sstoveld | delete or dont delete? | 11:32 |
| Lamego | jtravnick, not sure, I guess you can do a standard run without switches, man badblocks :) | 11:32 |

| sstoveld | ctrl alt f2? | 11:34 |
| jtravnick | hate the man pages they never make sence to me :( but am trying to read it now | 11:34 |
| Svenstaro | no kill x first | 11:34 |
| unop_ | Christoz, php doesn't understand ftp -- ftp is purely for transferring files to and from computers -- so, i'm inclined to say no | 11:34 |

| Dr_willis | DarkSpirit221, i recall the nintendo DS wireless being VERY picky about who/what/settings/cards it will connect to. I recall it being a little brain dead in some ways | 11:34 |
| sstoveld | saved backup | 11:34 |
| Svenstaro | sudo aticonfig --initial | 11:35 |
| sstoveld | again? | 11:35 |

| sstoveld | k | 11:35 |
| sstoveld | done | 11:35 |
| unop_ | DarkSpirit221, it's not something i've heard about -- but i suppose you'll need to configure both ubuntu and the DS in ad-hoc mode -- but that could affect how ubuntu connects if ubuntu uses wireless to connect to the router | 11:35 |

| unop_ | turbough, it doesn't appear /dev/pts can be found according to your errors -- so /dev doesnt seem to be mounted | 11:51 |
| legend2440 | Jaffarkelshac: sudo fdisk -l | 11:51 |
| turbough | should i do a mount -t bind /dev/ /my/chroot/environemnt? | 11:51 |
| unop_ | turbough, wasn't it mount -o bind /dev/ /chroot/dev ?? | 11:51 |
| Jaffarkelshac | legend2400 thanks | 11:51 |
| unop_ | turbough, i'm not sure | 11:51 |
| turbough | unop_: it's true. thanks | 11:52 |

| boris | hi | 11:52 |
| Jaffarkelshac | does anyone know how to use the menu-xdg | 11:52 |
| boris | im not getting any sound. i got 2 sound cards, one, old one, is integrated. i only want to use the new one. sometimes, im not getting any sound, but it appears to go away after reboot | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | turbough, put it in the proper /chroot/whatever/dev/ | 11:52 |
| vanberge | i have a linksys (cisco) pcmcia wlan card that lights up when plugged in, but doesnt show up in my network config for me to set up, just seeing if anyone would be wiling to help me | 11:52 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, for some reason it wont display anything when i swap cables | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 11:52 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld im stupid changing cables wont work of course | 11:52 |
| sstoveld | :P | 11:52 |
| Svenstaro | yeah swap em back | 11:52 |
| jau_ | I did'nt find any wiki pages about hdd upgrade, but i think this is a very common thing to do. Should I just use download clonezilla, or is there a wiki page somewhere? | 11:52 |
| Dr_willis | I made a chroot script that does those mounts for dev proc, then the final chroot. | 11:52 |
| foldart_ | tripps: System -> Preferences -> Sessions, Session Options tab | 11:52 |
| Jaffarkelshac | anyone got the menu-xdg to work when you install it | 11:53 |
| unop_ | turbough, also, you might want to copy /etc/passwd into the chroot -- sudo cp /etc/passwd /chroot/etc/ | 11:53 |
| Cocoabean | vanberge i can help you | 11:53 |
| sstoveld | hmm, i installed gaim, where is it now? how do i access it? | 11:53 |
| turbough | unop_: it's a fresh install of fc7 no users or data on the server yet | 11:53 |
| tripps | foldart_, thanks! | 11:53 |
| vanberge | Cocoabean, you can? :-) | 11:53 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld its not called gaim anymore, its pidgin | 11:54 |
| Cocoabean | yea, did you get my private message thing, im new to IRC | 11:54 |
| foldart_ | tripps: yw | 11:54 |
| Svenstaro | can you see stuff again sstoveld? | 11:54 |
| turbough | ok the dev is mounted with -o now | 11:54 |
| sstoveld | ya i can :) | 11:54 |
| vanberge | Cocoabean, no i did not get a pm | 11:54 |
| turbough | and i tried: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-minimal | 11:54 |
| rhineheart_m | hello.. how to install fast cgi? | 11:54 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.WORKING | 11:55 |
| Jaffarkelshac | can anyone help me to ge the menu-xdg to work | 11:55 |
| unop_ | turbough, I have a feeling chage is trying to modify the chroot's /etc/passwd -- but is failing because those users are not found within it, perhaps? | 11:55 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro, sstoveld: Still going! | 11:55 |
| Svenstaro | tell me about it | 11:55 |
| sstoveld | DistroJockey haha yeah well almost done :D | 11:56 |
| Svenstaro | this channel should award medals or something | 11:56 |
| Cocoabean | vanberge i think my pm thing is messed up, you're going to need to use Ndiswrapper if you card is not recognized at startup | 11:56 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro, sstoveld: :) | 11:56 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.WORKING | 11:56 |
| sstoveld | sorry, done :D | 11:56 |
| vanberge | Cocoabean, well, thats what some of the docs say - but my card does get recognized and it lights up even | 11:56 |
| Svenstaro | sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 11:56 |
| unop_ | turbough, and to confirm my suspicions -- if you examine your errors again, you'll see complaints about "group syslog does not exist" ... | 11:57 |
| Svenstaro | scroll all the way down | 11:57 |
| vanberge | Cocoabean, it just doesnt show up in my network settings for me to configure it | 11:57 |
| Svenstaro | append this | 11:57 |
| Cocoabean | lights will still go on | 11:57 |
| Cocoabean | yea thats because linux lacks alot of drivers for wifi cards | 11:57 |
| unop_ | turbough, you might need to setup the /etc/{passwd,group} files to keep apt happy | 11:57 |
| vanberge | ok... i am familiar with ndiswrapper, but just didnt want to use if it was avoidable. | 11:57 |
| vanberge | Cocoabean, i will try ndiswrapper... thx for your help :-) | 11:57 |
| Cocoabean | i had a linksys wmp11 that i just gave up on, even with Ndiswrapper it probably wont work with WEP or encryption at all | 11:57 |
| _term | latest ubuntu iso is only 695mb> | 11:58 |
| _term | ? | 11:58 |
| turbough | unop_: it's true but i'm kinda concerned that there may be some stuff in the ubuntu passwd file that's not in the fedora passwd file | 11:58 |
| _term | latest ubuntu iso is only 695mb? | 11:58 |
| sstoveld | append what? | 11:58 |
| turbough | and there's no syslog user in the fedora passwd file either | 11:58 |
| Cocoabean | vanberge, ndiswrapper is a hail mary, just buy a new card that is supported | 11:58 |
| unop_ | turbough, other way around -- the debootstrap installer generates those files on the fly and picks up info from your current system, and those don't appear to be fedora users/groups | 11:59 |
| Svenstaro | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60994/ look here | 11:59 |
| sstoveld | k | 11:59 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro, sstoveld: Sorry I wasn't much help. Great support Svenstaro! Good luck sstoveld. | 11:59 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld and append the very end section "serverlayout" | 11:59 |
| unop_ | turbough, so, you'll need to manually add all these various users and groups in the chroot env. | 11:59 |
| turbough | unop_: aaah | 11:59 |
| co_jmblo | hy | 11:59 |
| turbough | thanks unop_ | 11:59 |
| unop_ | turbough, np, if you like, i can give you those files | 12:00 |
| sstoveld | ok, done, save now? | 12:00 |
| Svenstaro | yes | 12:00 |
| sstoveld | DistroJockey, haha np man, thx for the help | 12:00 |

| Svenstaro | ctrl alt f2 | 12:05 |
| Oli`` | Is there a way to set a minimum time for double-click? Sometimes when I single-click, it's interpreted as a double click. This is probably due to faulty hardware but if I could filter clicks so super-rapid double clicks only counted as a single click, that would fix things for me. | 12:05 |
| Jaffarkelshac | legend2400 i was trying to understand ubuntu came across this guide http://monkeyblog.org/ubuntu/installing/ | 12:05 |

| Liorc | how can i figure it out ? ;;; i took most of the hardware from here (http://arstechnica.com/guides/buyer/guide-200803.ars/2) | 12:13 |
| farmen | någon som vet hur man kan fixa nya drivrutiner till ljud kortet | 12:13 |

| Liorc | and ram ? | 12:13 |
| Lokii- | liorc most are support | 12:14 |
| sstoveld | ok im back in now | 12:14 |

| rhineheart_m | hello.. is zend optimizer supported by gutsy? | 12:16 |
| erUSUL | Liorc: the cpu is indiferent | 12:17 |
| joox | hallo | 12:17 |
| unop__ | rhineheart_m, officially? errm, i dont think so | 12:17 |
| rhineheart_m | uhuh.. unop_ can you recommend of its use? | 12:17 |
| unop__ | rhineheart_m, if you are asking if it can run on gutsy, i should presume so | 12:17 |
| Lokii- | be sure to grab a 64bit distro if you buy a 64bit chip | 12:17 |
| erUSUL | Liorc: as i said you have to stick with nvida and watch out the wifi chip printer and/or webcam | 12:17 |

| Lokii- | ernz | 12:19 |
| Lokii- | #openoffice | 12:19 |
| Svenstaro | kill X, on console enter sudo aticonfig --dtop=horizontal,reverse and hope very very strongly | 12:20 |

| kate_mins | unop__: http://pastebin.com/d74c91cb0 | 12:29 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, it just moved, find it under edit | 12:29 |
| unop__ | KrisWood, by zero-rights, i mean the user cannot even log on to the machine | 12:29 |
| sstoveld | oh i see, thanks | 12:29 |
| federa | hi!! | 12:29 |
| KrisWood | Dr_willis, I've got an svn server running on my linux box for one of my dev groups, but I don't want the dev team to have access to the rest of the box, just svn | 12:30 |
| unop__ | KrisWood, see the manpage for adduser and useradd | 12:30 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld be are that starting gdm on reboot COULD screw up your config | 12:30 |
| Svenstaro | rather test it now | 12:30 |
| kate_mins | unop__: BTW my system is : Ubuntu 7.10 gusty (64 bit) | 12:30 |
| Svenstaro | even better, write protoect your current config | 12:30 |
| sstoveld | how do i do that? | 12:30 |
| Dr_willis | KrisWood, i recall setting a users shell to 'false' as one way to prevent logins | 12:30 |
| federa | does someone knows if there's an apple emulator like wine?? | 12:30 |
| kmanrox | recommendations for the best ubuntu HTML/web design editor? | 12:30 |
| KrisWood | So I need to create users that are not able to log in at all, except as members of teh svn group | 12:30 |
| sstoveld | lol 1 sec, let me get on desktop irc | 12:30 |
| unop__ | kate_mins, ok, i'm checking the script now | 12:30 |
| federa | somethings that allow me to run apple app | 12:30 |
| remu | whats the irc room for hardy questions? | 12:30 |
| KrisWood | unop__, thanks I'll try that | 12:30 |
| sstoveld | k | 12:30 |
| kate_mins | unop__: thanks :) | 12:30 |
| Dr_willis | federa, ive never heard of such a thing. | 12:30 |
| sigit | hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii | 12:31 |
| unop__ | kate_mins, it seems to work fine on my system -- what does this command return?? perl -c /path/to/scriptname | 12:31 |
| Dr_willis | federa, check out http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/ perhaps | 12:31 |
| eezgb | first time to come here ,hello,everybody | 12:31 |
| federa | yep..i'm using it... | 12:31 |
| federa | and now i will learn how it work | 12:32 |
| kate_mins | unop__: syntax ok | 12:32 |
| remu | my bad, didnt read the top completely | 12:32 |
| Svenstaro | sudo chmod 555 /etc/X11/xorg.conf sstoveld | 12:32 |
| federa | thanks!!! | 12:32 |
| unop__ | kate_mins, actually use this -- perl -Mstrict -W -c scriptname | 12:32 |
| roychri | Why is my ATA (not SATA) drive shows up as /dev/sda ? | 12:33 |
| sstoveld | k, all done there LD | 12:33 |
| sstoveld | :D* | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | federa, in theory one could run an apple emulator. and perhaps ssh -X to it, and have the apps appear on the linux desktop... but not sure if Apples osx cando that.. | 12:33 |
| unop__ | kate_mins, it might be that the script has trouble understanding options you give it -- what is the exact command you use when you recieve that error? | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | !libata | roychri | 12:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about libata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 12:33 |
| Svenstaro | okay lets screw it up again, kill X and in console enter sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start | 12:33 |
| Dr_willis | roychri, changes to the drive subsystems are making all ide devices show up as scsi. | 12:34 |
| federa | mmm...ok Dr_willis!! thanks very much!! | 12:34 |
| kate_mins | unop__: http://pastebin.com/m7a2214df | 12:34 |
| sstoveld | lol, why do we wanna screw it up now :P | 12:34 |

| sstoveld | ah ok | 12:35 |
| sstoveld | you mean sstoveld proof? haha | 12:35 |
| KrisWood | Ok I ust thought of a simpler answer to my situation... If I set my .htaccess to not require valid linux users, I can just set their usernames and passwords in the .htpasswd file and they won't have any other access, right? | 12:35 |
| sstoveld | let me get back onto laptop | 12:35 |
| bsdnewb07 | anyone know any good voip server software for ubuntu | 12:35 |
| sstoveld_ | ok | 12:36 |

| unop__ | KrisWood, if you setup users whose shells are /bin/false and add them to a group, you can then set permissions over files and directories for that group alone -- members of that group will not be able to logon via a console (or other means) and wont be able to access other parts of the system | 12:37 |
| sstoveld | ok uh when i started it i entered my login info and now its stuck at a blank beige coloured screen | 12:38 |

| Corky_ | ty | 12:43 |
| Ernz | Corky_: May I ask what USB devices you are trying to detect on your guest OS? | 12:43 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld most likely because we hcanged the rights, on a console do sudo chmod 755 /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 12:43 |

| unop__ | kate_mins, I have changed the script and fixed a few syntax errors, download and run this instead, see what happens -- http://pastebin.com/d6de2b66c | 12:44 |
| jrib | KrisWood: chsh | 12:44 |
| gyaresu | huy: Try in #ubuntu+1 for 'hardy' issues | 12:44 |
| sstoveld | hm i dont get the prompt when i ctrl alt backspace | 12:45 |
| huy | gyaresu: i'm not using hardy | 12:45 |
| sstoveld | it goes to the black screen with the text, but doesnt show that prompt for me | 12:45 |
| Svenstaro | yes you need to change to a prompt first and kill gdm manually | 12:45 |
| stevenroose | i wanna know if it is possible to chech your boot log in a file | 12:45 |
| gyaresu | huy: Then I'm sorry. I don't know. | 12:45 |

| Svenstaro | ctrl alt f2 | 12:46 |
| huy | unop: yeah | 12:46 |
| sstoveld | oh ok | 12:46 |
| huy | i can't get wireless to work | 12:46 |
| unop__ | huy, you left before i suggested a workaround -- can you paste that command again? | 12:46 |
| Ernz | julian: What printer? :) | 12:46 |
| julian | Ernz: a canon mp220 | 12:46 |
| sstoveld | ok | 12:46 |
| sstoveld | what do i do after chmod 755? | 12:47 |
| Ernz | julian: Ah, min was an Epson RX560. It is supported by new CUPS drivers. | 12:47 |
| Ernz | NOW | 12:47 |
| Svenstaro | did it change the rights ok? | 12:47 |
| huy | unop: i don't know how to get it back | 12:47 |
| sstoveld | looks like it | 12:47 |
| sstoveld | didnt say any errors | 12:47 |
| julian | Ernz: canon mp220 isnt supported, but canon has on their australian website a driver for the mp210 which is working fine for the 220 | 12:47 |

| Starnestommy | Svenstaro: only if you never use the GUI and you don't use Gnome | 12:50 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, sure, nothing really happens except that you don't have a GUI login window | 12:50 |
| Svenstaro | Well, I want to omit gdm basically | 12:50 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, thats fine | 12:50 |
| Svenstaro | and basically login from console and automatically startx from there | 12:50 |
| Svenstaro | because obviously gdm gets stuck | 12:50 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, gnome will continue to work via startx | 12:50 |
| jtravnick | gyaresu, yea but the only problem with that is theres usaly only two or three songs worth having on the whole cd | 12:50 |
| Svenstaro | how to I omit it? | 12:51 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, omit it as in, remove it or stop it from starting up? | 12:51 |
| Svenstaro | I just dont want it to start | 12:51 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, kill gdm, and try startx from console | 12:51 |
| Svenstaro | see if it still works | 12:51 |
| Eric_Jardas | hello | 12:51 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, use the update-rc.d command to stop it from starting in all runlevels | 12:51 |

| huy | unop: i think i know the problem now. with acpi=off the wireless card is nto associated with irq, so no matterwhat i do, i wont' be able to turn it on | 12:58 |

| Aquahallic | now all I have to do is fix my Hardy install... got that 386 problem... and I commented out the 386 kernels in my menu.lst and then got an initramfs prompt.. so I can't boot back into the 386 kernel to fix it.....LOL | 12:59 |
| turbough | which seems fairly unique | 12:59 |
| KrisWood | and the conf file while I'm at it | 12:59 |
| jtravnick | Eric_Jardas, k its booted will look around have never done anything with the back light before | 12:59 |

| turbough | KrisWood: my irc client bounces when you include my name on a line. what exactly are you trying to do? | 13:01 |
| Scunizi | Aquahallic, when you get to it you should be able to boot with a live cd and redo your sources list.. maybe then | 13:01 |
| Aquahallic | I had Gutsy on it.. took the Hardy upgrade... now the only kernels I have are generic and recovery on there.. | 13:01 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, not working, says cp: cannot stat '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.WORKING_DONT_TOUCH_OR_DIE': No such file or directory | 13:01 |

| Eric_Jardas | jtravnick, the bios installed has very little options..no options for that...maybe I should install some other bios ? | 13:03 |
| unop__ | huy, you can do -- sudo /etc/init,d/cpuspeed stop | 13:03 |
| Aquahallic | I've just broken plenty so I learn pretty quick....:) | 13:03 |
| turbough | KrisWood: did you set up a virtual host like svn.myhost.com? info on the passwd file should be in the virtualhost somewhere | 13:03 |
| KrisWood | turbough, no clue, it's been several months and now I can't find the tutorial I used in the first place | 13:03 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I set it up as a vitual host using sites-available | 13:03 |
| jtravnick | Eric_Jardas, could see if theres a new one for it | 13:03 |
| Eric_Jardas | jtravnick, going to a conference this weekend..I'm going to loose my eyes programming with this backlight | 13:03 |
| KrisWood | turbough, but I don't remember how I did that now | 13:04 |
| sstoveld | ok got it | 13:04 |
| sstoveld | done | 13:04 |
| sstoveld | now startx? | 13:04 |
| Scunizi | Aquahallic, I did in the beginning a couple years ago but my machine is also my production work machine so I'm real reluctant to break it..... at least on purpose messing around | 13:04 |
| turbough | KrisWood: you should drink less beer. :P | 13:04 |
| Svenstaro | yes | 13:04 |
| huy | unop, it says command not found | 13:04 |
| Sherry | hi | 13:04 |
| turbough | KrisWood: do you remember the name of the repository? | 13:04 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I don't drink any, but I don't log into my linux server except when something goes wrong, which doesn't happen often ;) | 13:04 |
| sstoveld | still same thing, do i need to start gdm? | 13:04 |
| Svenstaro | hell no | 13:04 |
| KrisWood | turbough, yes, I do | 13:04 |
| Aquahallic | I only started using linux to run mythtv...:) | 13:04 |
| unop__ | huy, what does this return? ls -l /etc/inid.d/*cpu* | 13:04 |
| Svenstaro | man this is getting interesting | 13:04 |
| sstoveld | lol | 13:05 |
| turbough | on the linux server can you do a find / -name reponamehere -print | 13:05 |
| === alphabyte is now known as brownfox | ||
| Aquahallic | now I love it though.. and it's my primary os on my laptop.... | 13:05 |
| huy | unop,, i got sudo: /etc/init.d/cpuspeed: command not found | 13:05 |
| jtravnick | Eric_Jardas, im not seeing anything in ubuntu for changing the back light course i am blind in one eye | 13:05 |
| unop__ | huy, see my last post | 13:05 |
| Scunizi | Aquahallic, I can't get away from win & ie6 unfortuantly.. needed for work sites | 13:06 |
| Eric_Jardas | jtravnick, what about changing contrast ? | 13:06 |
| huy | unop, it says there's no such file or directory | 13:06 |
| Aquahallic | me too.. I just use a VM when I have to use it.. I also have my work laptop and that has all my domain admin stuff on it...:P | 13:06 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I know where the repo is stored but the .htpasswd and .htaccess files aren't stored there | 13:06 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, what exactly happens? | 13:06 |
| unop__ | huy, it appears that the cpuspeed service isn't installed on your system | 13:07 |
| Svenstaro | also could you post your xorg.conf again? | 13:07 |
| turbough | KrisWood what's the url you use to check out the file? | 13:07 |
| Scunizi | Aquahallic, yep vm works good.. that's my solution too | 13:07 |
| sstoveld | how do i post it? i cant login to ubuntu | 13:07 |
| jtravnick | Eric_Jardas, only thing im finding is resolution | 13:07 |
| KrisWood | turbough, it's not a public svn so I'd rather not go posting it around hehe | 13:07 |
| unop__ | KrisWood, find /path/to/repo -iname .ht* | less | 13:07 |
| sstoveld | when i type in startx, it just goes to this odd coloured screen and stops there, i can move my mouse, but nothing loads or anything | 13:08 |
| Svenstaro | err, people, how can you submit to pastebin from command line again? | 13:08 |
| jtravnick | and i need to get going have to be at the DMV when they open so i wont be there all day | 13:08 |
| Eric_Jardas | jtravnick, i tryed 800x600 and 1024x768 and it is still the same | 13:08 |
| turbough | KrisWood what's the beginning of the url? is it https, ssh+svn ? | 13:08 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, pastebinit | 13:08 |
| Svenstaro | ah right thanks | 13:08 |
| unop__ | Svenstaro, the package needs to be installed tho | 13:08 |
| Jaffarkelshac | sstoveld: are you using ubuntu | 13:08 |
| KrisWood | turbough, http | 13:08 |
| sstoveld | yes | 13:08 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I never found a way to get https working | 13:09 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit | 13:09 |
| Jaffarkelshac | i think i have the same problem as well, is it on a laptop | 13:09 |
| huy | thanks unop | 13:09 |
| huy | i'll restart now | 13:09 |
| unop__ | k | 13:09 |
| turbough | KrisWood: i would look in my httpd.conf file if your svn address is http://svn.myhost.com/project then look for a virtual host called svn | 13:09 |
| sstoveld | E: dpkg was interrupterd, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem | 13:10 |
| Svenstaro | well do so | 13:10 |
| maghettino | #ubuntu-it | 13:10 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I have it in its own conf file using sites-available but don't remember how to find that conf file | 13:10 |
| turbough | KrisWood: basically figure out where the svn url points to on your real FS and find the .htaccess file in there or look in the httpd.conf for where it's set | 13:10 |
| sstoveld | k | 13:11 |
| algyz | sstoveld: so run it manually | 13:11 |
| KrisWood | turbough, there is not .htaccess in the svn directory | 13:11 |
| Scunizi | Svenstaro, what is pastebinit? does it make it easier to paste to the pastebin? command line only? | 13:11 |
| Svenstaro | yes | 13:11 |
| KrisWood | turbough, and I can't find the conf file | 13:11 |
| Scunizi | nice | 13:11 |
| turbough | try locate httpd.conf | 13:11 |
| turbough | it should be in /etc/httpd/something | 13:11 |
| julian | does anybody know how to get multichannel in oss to work without vmix? so that i have channel 1 on dev/pcm1 channel two on dev/pcm2 and so on? | 13:11 |
| KrisWood | only /etc/apache2/httpd.conf but that just means the locate database hasn't been rebuilt since the files were made | 13:12 |
| turbough | KrisWood: you are not using apache2? | 13:13 |
| alex12 | would anyone know why, or give clues, as to why suddenly after a simple system restart, one of my dual head monitors number 2 - suddenly switches from the default resolution of, 1920x1200 to 1600x1200 .... when i havent even changed my xorg.conf or drivers or whatever ....... both screens were running fine in dual head spanning desktop, both running 1920x1200 - and now 1920x1200 and 1600x1200 ?????? - xor | 13:13 |
| alex12 | g.conf looks perfectly fine.... | 13:13 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I am, but I used sites-available to make a seperate conf file for each site | 13:14 |
| KrisWood | turbough, I don't remember where it puts them | 13:14 |
| turbough | KrisWood: there should be a AuthUserFile setting in your httpd.conf. check out http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s04.html | 13:14 |
| KrisWood | turbough, that's the problem, I don't remember where the conf is for that site | 13:14 |
| turbough | KrisWood: should be in /etc/apache2/extra | 13:14 |
| unop__ | KrisWood, /etc/apache2/sites-available :) | 13:14 |
| turbough | or extras | 13:14 |
| turbough | unop__: that makes too much sense :) | 13:15 |
| RochJer | Hello ya-ll - I am having problems getting DVD movies to run in VLC and totem as well | 13:15 |
| KrisWood | ah found it, thanks unop__! | 13:15 |
| RochJer | I have already downloaded libdvdcss2 and everything | 13:15 |
| KrisWood | unop__, nothing in there about auth or svn though :( | 13:15 |
| sstoveld | hmm | 13:15 |
| KrisWood | hmmmm httpd.conf is empty | 13:16 |
| sstoveld | says unmet dependecies when i try the pastebin now | 13:16 |
| unop__ | KrisWood, i'm not very conversant with svn -- turbough knows better | 13:16 |
| HeRo^^ | Hi, how can i run admin manager in ubutnu, like i have created new use and the user have no priviliges to volume?? | 13:16 |
| T045T | Hi, can somebody tell me if/where I can get additional layouts for onBoard? I am aware that it's not really hard to create custom ones, but I don't want to do the same work someone else already has | 13:16 |
| KRF | is there some localtion where i can add commands which are exectued after resume from suspend? | 13:16 |
| KrisWood | ah, it's apache2.conf hehe | 13:16 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, do you by any chance have a router? | 13:16 |
| sstoveld | yeah | 13:16 |
| Svenstaro | can you forward port 21 to your machine please | 13:17 |
| turbough | KrisWood: try find /etc/apache2 -exec grep -H AuthUserFile {} \; | 13:17 |
| Svenstaro | port 22, sorry | 13:17 |
| turbough | that should grep every file for AuthUserFile which is what we're looking for | 13:17 |
| Svenstaro | tcp that is | 13:17 |
| unop__ | turbough, why not grep recursively? -- grep -inHR AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/* :) | 13:17 |
| turbough | unop__: everyone has their ways :) | 13:18 |
| KrisWood | turbough, dav.svn.conf | 13:18 |
| turbough | unop__: to tell the truth i use find out of habit in case i'm grepping a network fs | 13:18 |
| turbough | unop__: and i happen to be using a file pattern as well | 13:19 |
| KrisWood | ah ha! AuthUserFile /etc/subversion/passwd | 13:19 |
| sstoveld | k done | 13:19 |
| turbough | w00t! | 13:19 |
| KrisWood | now to remember how to use htpassd hehe | 13:19 |
| turbough | KrisWood: what are you keeping in svn? | 13:19 |
| * KrisWood reads the man page | 13:19 | |
| unop__ | turbough, i just think to think thats an expensive way of using grep -- but anyway , and a recursive grep should work over a network fs, dont see why not, and you can use file pattersn as well :) | 13:19 |
| turbough | KrisWood: and dude. you should really set up ssl. | 13:19 |
| nilminus_ | I am trying to kill a process with "kill -9 <pid_here>" but it wont die . I have the required privileges. What could be the problem ? | 13:20 |

| nicolas | Good morning folks, I have a VNC issue. I have two boxes configured with tightvncserver. One I can access normally with it's IP. The other, I can only access on display 1 (ie: 10.0.0.1:1) which means I dont get the Metacity WM. Can anyone help me out? | 13:20 |
| Scunizi | nilminus use sudo | 13:20 |
| Hssn | how should we restart XGL server? | 13:20 |
| jojojo | Hello, I'm from Ubuntu. | 13:20 |
| jojojo | And say HELLO. | 13:21 |
| turbough | unop__: this may be fixed with just a switch but i found that grep wouldn't recurse into directories that didn't match the file pattern. so if i did *.c it wouldn't recurse into directories unless they were named something.c | 13:21 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, im back in, logged in now | 13:21 |
| sstoveld | Svenstaro, not sure what i did lol | 13:21 |
| alex12 | would anyone know why, with a perfectly working xorg conf, posted at: http://dpaste.com/41169/ -- would then, after a system reboot, suddenly make screen1 - only run at 1600x1200 and not 1920x1200 .... ? xorg.conf hasnt changed for months, and drivers havent changed either. would someone care to explain why one of my monitors run at 1920x1200 , while the other 1600 x 1200? | 13:21 |
| Svenstaro | ?? | 13:21 |
| turbough | KrisWood: just open source it and don't worry about the ssl :) | 13:21 |
| jojojo | sstoveld: YOU LYE. | 13:21 |
| sstoveld | jojojo, nope! | 13:22 |
| jojojo | yehp! | 13:22 |
| Svenstaro | so wtf did you do? | 13:22 |
| foldart_ | nicolas: is that box running vino-server (System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop)? | 13:22 |

| sstoveld | and now pc just shut itself off | 13:23 |
| sstoveld | uhh | 13:23 |
| unop | jin, iirc, its in the hardy repos | 13:23 |
| Svenstaro | well lets make sure gdm doesnt get in our way anymore and fix this for good | 13:23 |
| nicolas | foldart_: Im not sure, its a standard Ubuntu install+updates+tightvncserver just like the other. Im not at the box now Im only VNCed to it. Let me check | 13:23 |
| sstoveld | pc wont power on now | 13:23 |
| amigo | HI! How to disable keyboard configure at boot time? Ubuntu set tai keyboard for me, but I need english :( | 13:23 |
| sstoveld | lol | 13:23 |
| Exteris | jin, it is in the repo | 13:23 |
| jin | unop, yea, but why not in Gutsy? there are a lot of ppl using Gutsy :\ | 13:23 |
| Svenstaro | I'm starting to think someones making fun of me now | 13:24 |
| KrisWood | turbough, ok I've successfully added a user to SVN that has no ability to log in to any other part of the system (though I think it still might let them into ftp dunno....) | 13:24 |
| jin | Exteris: not beta 3 release | 13:24 |
| sstoveld | ? | 13:24 |
| Exteris | jin, firefox-3.0 | 13:24 |
| eegore | hardy still alpha or did it go beta | 13:24 |
| Exteris | last time i checked that was beta 3 | 13:24 |
| unop | jin, errm, it might take sometime before it gets in the gutsy backports | 13:24 |
| jin | Exteris: that is not beta 3 | 13:24 |
| Exteris | jin, i'll check | 13:24 |
| sstoveld | ;/ maybe my hd is dying | 13:25 |
| sstoveld | this is what happened before when i had to reformat | 13:25 |
| Svenstaro | dude | 13:25 |
| turbough | KrisWood: do you want help setting up ssl? | 13:25 |
| foldart_ | nicolas: hm, unlikely to be activated then, you can check with 'ps auxw | grep vino-server' | 13:25 |
| RickJames | i've hit a hot key and could some one tell me what i've done? i was trying to place underscores in a file name, and now all the pop up windws (ie applications,system, preferances) as well as right clicking a file all expand so slow i can count to 5 before they pop up. how do i reverse this ? | 13:25 |
| KRF | found it | 13:25 |
| sstoveld | pc would shut off when i launched hellgate and wouldnt power on unless i pulled plug for 10 seconds | 13:25 |
| KrisWood | turbough, not now, thanks, gotta get to work | 13:26 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld thats a fricken heat problem you got there | 13:26 |
| Svenstaro | rip the case open | 13:26 |
| turbough | KrisWood: right on. good luck. | 13:26 |
| nicolas | foldart_: lol I just checked yea. Both have vino-session running but only the functioning box has /usr/lib/vino/vino-server | 13:26 |
| sstoveld | whats overheating? cpu? | 13:26 |
| Svenstaro | probably | 13:26 |
| nicolas | foldart_: Do you know how I can start it and ensure it will always start on system reboot? | 13:26 |
| Svenstaro | now open that thing and leave it open | 13:27 |
| sstoveld | is there a program i can run to measure the temp? | 13:27 |
| sstoveld | like speedfan | 13:27 |
| RickJames | sstoveld, i like sensors-applet | 13:27 |
| RickJames | but you can use mbmon | 13:27 |
| nicolas | sstoveld: try this: cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature | 13:28 |
| jetscreamer | apt-get install lmsensors and run sensors-detect, then run sensors | 13:28 |
| KrisWood | Speaking of work, time for me to run out the door, have a good day everyone | 13:28 |
| jetscreamer | or is it lm-sensors | 13:28 |
| KrisWood | turbough and unop__ thanks for all the help!! | 13:28 |
| Exteris | jin, you're right, it's alpha8 | 13:28 |
| Svenstaro | its lm_sensors even | 13:28 |
| jetscreamer | o | 13:28 |
| jin | Exteris: I think the beta 3 release is in backports. installing right now | 13:29 |
| sstoveld | yeah, it did it again :( | 13:29 |
| sstoveld | powered off | 13:29 |
| foldart_ | nicolas: it's configured via (System -> Preferences -> Remote Desktop), not sure which file that updates though | 13:29 |
| jin | Exteris: got beta 3 now :-) | 13:29 |
| jin | ff3 b3 is alot faster :-) | 13:30 |
| Exteris | jin, nice :P, do you know when 3.0 comes out ? | 13:30 |
| nicolas | foldart_: ok thanks mate. | 13:30 |
| jin | Exteris: no idea. | 13:30 |
| rinaldi_ | Exteris: they said it wil be out when its ready, hopefully by 8.04 :) | 13:31 |

| sstoveld | about a high of 27 for us today | 13:39 |
| jpatrick | llima: no, due to differences in toolchain, etc | 13:39 |

| tyron | Hi i have been trying to get sound working on tosh a200 with this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473425http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473425 now getting this error The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. | 14:30 |
| * CrummyGummy hates rebooting remote servers. | 14:30 | |
| Lamego | use the blkid command to list the uids | 14:30 |
| term_ | Ok.. i have ubuntu on my primary HD, Windows on my Slave. is there anyway i can be given an option upon bootup to decide which one i would like to boot to? | 14:30 |
| tyron | it seems to have made things worse at lest before i hade volume controls | 14:30 |
| john | Check this: http://ucash.in/my_links/user/francfrancek | 14:30 |
| cpk1 | term_: yes, change grub to wait a certain amount of time before booting and in that time you will be able to pick which os you want | 14:30 |
| rubax | Thanks Lamego | 14:31 |
| term_ | cpkl how do i do that :) | 14:31 |
| invaderB-laptop | Hi, I have a question with the beta version and graphics combatability with dell latitude c600 laptops | 14:31 |
| Pici | !etiquette > john (Please see the private messsage from ubotu) | 14:31 |
| cpk1 | term_: how do you currently boot to windows if you want to? | 14:31 |
| term_ | cpkl - switch HD's lmao | 14:31 |
| RaceKondition | where's the standard place that in Ubuntu that I should put web apps? | 14:32 |
| term_ | cpkl - i went out and got a ide cable with two plugs (my old one only had one master plug) the computer see's both HD's and reckognizes them. i would just like the option upon bootup to decide which to go to | 14:32 |
| Lamego | RaceKondition, /var/www | 14:32 |
| RaceKondition | Lamego: thanks | 14:33 |
| cpk1 | haha alright, you will need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst personally I use nano to edit files, you can use whatever editor you would like, you need to have root priviledge to edit | 14:33 |
| invaderB-laptop | is there a free admin that can help me out ? | 14:33 |
| term_ | ok | 14:33 |
| term_ | im in the file | 14:33 |
| Lamego | invaderB-laptop, just ask | 14:33 |
| Pici | invaderB-laptop: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. | 14:33 |
| RaceKondition | Lamego: what should the owner of the files be? root? www? or an application specific user? | 14:33 |
| term_ | cpk1, what do i need to change within the file | 14:33 |
| Lamego | RaceKondition, www-data, since that is the apache user | 14:34 |
| RaceKondition | Lamego: but the apache2-default app belongs to root:root | 14:34 |
| term_ | ahh | 14:34 |
| term_ | timout sec? | 14:34 |
| cpk1 | term_: ok at the very bottom of the file there is a section titled ## ## End Default Options ## you need to add another entry there | 14:34 |
| cpk1 | term_: and you want to make the timeout longer yess | 14:34 |
| term_ | well | 14:34 |
| Lamego | RaceKondition, it needs to be readable by www-data regardless of the owner | 14:34 |
| unop | RaceKondition, the owner can be anyone .. but www-data must be able to read those files | 14:34 |
| term_ | i see the timeout option but its higher in the file | 14:35 |
| RaceKondition | oh, OK | 14:35 |
| nikrud | RaceKondition the files can be owned by anyone, as long as they are readable by all, they need to be owned by www-data if they will be written to by apache (like a dir users can upload to) | 14:35 |
| cpk1 | term_: yeah the timeout is higher up, change that value to what you want, and then you need to tell grub about windows after you do that | 14:35 |
| term_ | ok | 14:35 |
| term_ | i changed timeout to 15 seconds | 14:35 |
| term_ | now what | 14:35 |
| unop | nikrud, errm, if the files are world-writable .. that could still work despite the owner | 14:36 |
| unop | nikrud, not that i am saying thats a good way to have it setup | 14:36 |
| cpk1 | I have never actually had to use grub to boot windows so let me see, basically though you will need to keep the same format as the other entries (title root kernel) but let me see what windows needs exactly | 14:36 |
| RaceKondition | nikrud: OK, thanks.. btw, just one more question. why does http://localhost/ not map to /var/www/apache2-defualt/ but /var/www/ instead? | 14:36 |
| tyron | Can anyone help with sound on toshiba a200? | 14:36 |
| RaceKondition | is there a reason? | 14:36 |
| nikrud | unop I don't thi^W^W do agree | 14:36 |
| unop | eh? | 14:37 |
| cpk1 | term_: you can title it whatever you want and if windows is on the second hard drive and on the first/only partition on it the root would be 1,0 | 14:37 |
| term_ | cpkl - so basicly after end defult options i need to add one for windows. | 14:37 |
| RPM | I would like to know of a good program to convert avi to vcd | 14:37 |
| Lamego | RaceKondition, the document root can bet set to whatever you need, it is not relevant | 14:37 |
| nikrud | unop I was writing a disagreement, then agreed | 14:37 |
| term_ | cpkl - my menu.lst file says root for linux is hd0,0 - so where would windows be? | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tyron, HAve you been through the troubleshooting sectionof our sound page | 14:37 |
| Jack_Sparrow | !sound | 14:37 |
| unop | RaceKondition, you'll need to configure apache if you want to use a default document root | 14:38 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 14:38 |
| term_ | 1,0 | 14:38 |
| term_ | ? | 14:38 |
| nikrud | unop with your followup that is :) | 14:38 |
| Lamego | there are some packages like php my admin which are installed to a default location under /var/www, accessing such apps will be easier because they will be installed on the proper (default) document root | 14:38 |
| unop | nikrud, right right, i just saw a flurry of odd characters, wondering what was going on there :) | 14:38 |
| RPM | hi | 14:38 |
| zschallz_ | tyron: google says your sound just works in gutsy :P | 14:38 |
| RPM | if someone can please | 14:38 |
| nikrud | RaceKondition it's a tricky little config they do; as soon as you drop an index.html in /var/www it will switch to it | 14:39 |
| Lamego | RPM, just write your question | 14:39 |
| cpk1 | term_: it depends how the windows drive is partitioned, it only have one partition? if so then it should be hd1,0 | 14:39 |
| term_ | yes just one partition | 14:40 |
| RaceKondition | nikrud: aha.. very tricky indeed :P | 14:40 |
| term_ | cpk1, http://pastebin.com/m53781c55 | 14:40 |
| term_ | thats my menu.lst | 14:40 |
| kasi | hi, i cant get wireless or sound working in hardy, but it worked fine in gutsy, can anyone help? using a hp dv6500 | 14:40 |
| unop | cpk1, it should be hd0,0 i think | 14:40 |
| Lamego | !hardy > kasi | 14:40 |

| Jack_Sparrow | tyron, a quick sound check.. Report no sound or any errors after you run this command: speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav -l1 | 14:41 |
| cpk1 | unop: no, his windows drive is setup as a slave so it would be 1,0 | 14:41 |
| unop | cpk1, ok, sure, my bad, i wasn't following the discussion | 14:41 |
| term_ | cpk1, - correct me if im wrong, but going by IDE cables, the HD farthest on the cable, IS the master right? lol | 14:42 |
| term_ | and the middle plug is slave. | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | term_, not always | 14:42 |
| unop | term_, depends on jumpers on the drives actually | 14:42 |
| term_ | hmm | 14:42 |
| cpk1 | term_: just change the jumper | 14:42 |
| scientist- | on the old ones the middle one was master | 14:42 |
| nikrud | morning Jack_Sparrow , time for work so tag | 14:42 |
| Jack_Sparrow | term_, that is only with cable select and floppy drives | 14:42 |
| komputes | how can I quicly list what video driver is being used? | 14:43 |
| term_ | so its really a trial and error deal | 14:43 |
| term_ | :) | 14:43 |
| Jack_Sparrow | nikrud, np,, catch you later. | 14:43 |
| gumpish | How can I make my ssh agent available to a cron job? | 14:43 |
| unop | gumpish, errm, is the cron job being run under your user? | 14:44 |
| term_ | gonna try, brb hopefully :P | 14:44 |
| gumpish | unop: yep | 14:44 |
| cpk1 | well that was quick | 14:44 |
| burner | server fr ? | 14:44 |
| pschorf | goodbye all, class is ending | 14:44 |
| cpk1 | hope he knows if grub has problems he needs to use a rescue cd | 14:44 |
| unop | gumpish, in that case - you could run the job like -- ssh-agent && command | 14:45 |
| burner | do you know the channel of server fr please ? | 14:45 |
| RaceKondition | it's OK to disable the apache2 default site, right? | 14:45 |
| tyron | jack_sparrow: It is sayng no device, before i started to try get working it was at least trying to work | 14:45 |
| burner | do you know the channel of server fr please ? | 14:45 |
| komputes | !fr | 14:45 |
| ubotu | Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 14:45 |
| burner | !fr | 14:45 |
| Lamego | RaceKondition, yes | 14:45 |
| unop | gumpish, you might also want to kill the pid of that ssh-agent once the command completes so as to avoid zombies | 14:45 |
| burner | #ubuntu-fr | 14:45 |
| gumpish | thanks | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | cpk1, When I work on grub, I usuallyleave the original code in place and create menu listings for the different options I want to try. That way you edit it ince to tray all the combinations you want and can always get back in | 14:46 |
| === dias is now known as pain | ||
| komputes | how can I list what video driver is being used? | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | tyron, Fixing sound.. download this: http://hg.alsa-project.org/alsa/raw-file/tip/alsa-info.sh #and run the script as Normal User... with this command: bash ./alsa-info.sh ... then go to http://en.pastebin.ca/906336 and answer those questions .. then /join #Alsa and provide them with your question and a link to the uploaded file. | 14:46 |
| cpk1 | i think he needs to use system mapping too... | 14:46 |
| Jack_Sparrow | komputes, you can look in xorg.. that is usually the easiest | 14:47 |
| cpk1 | hopefully he is back Jack_Sparrow I tried to give him some more information =\ | 14:47 |
| tyron | Thanks | 14:47 |

| james_n | i am New to linux and am having trouble shading a folder with several other windows computer on my network. Can anyone help me figure this out? | 14:52 |
| Jack_Sparrow | komputes, lspci or lshw grep through it if you dont want to do it manually | 14:52 |
| bazhang | james_n: using samba? | 14:52 |
| unop | !samba | james_n | 14:52 |

| james_n | thanks ill do some reading | 14:53 |
| komputes | Jack_Sparrow: will that give me the driver being used or just the name and identifier for hardware? | 14:53 |
| RaceKondition | as I understand, the Apache2 default site does not simply create a default site but also provide some default global configuration as well? | 14:53 |
| Jack_Sparrow | komputes, just the hardware, not the driver. | 14:54 |
| lartza_ | How can I aplly *.diff file to source? | 14:54 |
| komputes | Jack_Sparrow: will lsmod tell me what driver is in use? | 14:54 |
| unop | RaceKondition, right | 14:54 |
| kmanrox | ok, was looking thru folders, and now suddenly all my hard drive shortcuts are on my desktop and i cant remove them.. any advice? thx in advance | 14:55 |
| Jack_Sparrow | komputes, I am still waking up and having coffee, we really need hardy users to go to that room.. for a couple weeks more anyhow | 14:55 |
| unop | RaceKondition, each new site can override global configuration directives or fall back to the globals | 14:55 |
| komputes | Jack_Sparrow: I'm in there, msg me if you'd like to discuss | 14:55 |

| ManicMethod | is there a page that tells how to make a completely automated install cd? Where you just drop in the cd and boot and its installed, no questions at all? | 14:57 |
| lartza_ | is it better to use .patch or .diff file or are they all different? | 14:57 |
| Hatl | hi! if i use "startx" in a start script it doesn't work -> the screen flickers, i can see the mouse (X) for about 1 sec, then it switches back to console. if i type startx on console it works. what could be the problem? | 14:57 |
| unop | lartza_, patch uses diff files | 14:58 |
| lartza_ | oh | 14:58 |
| wof- | Hatl: most likely a video configurations aren't correct | 14:58 |
| RaceKondition | unop: I was asking because the squirrelmail app stopped functioning after I disabled the default site | 14:58 |
| Lamego | ManicMethod, probably such install would be better covered by a ghost-like approach :P | 14:58 |
| lartza_ | what if it's just the diff file? then .patch contains everything needed? | 14:58 |
| lartza_ | i men if it's just patch | 14:58 |
| Hatl | wof-: it works if i call startx at console | 14:58 |
| screamfd | hello together | 14:59 |
| komputes | Jack_Sparrow: I'm totally with you on that | 14:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ManicMethod, that would seem to be a dangerous thing to have around. | 14:59 |
| wof- | Hatl: oh I read what you said wrong | 14:59 |
| term_ | yayy | 14:59 |
| unop | lartza_, a diff file is a set of commands understood by patch -- patch executes those commands, does that make sense? | 14:59 |
| term_ | dual booting works | 14:59 |
| wof- | Hatl: you running 'startx' as what user? | 14:59 |
| lartza_ | yea | 14:59 |
| wof- | term_: word | 14:59 |
| Hatl | wof-: root | 14:59 |
| unop | RaceKondition, you'd expect that yes | 14:59 |
| screamfd | I'm ubuntu 7.10 user | 14:59 |
| wof- | Hatl: The script you have, you wrote it to run as root or when the system is booting up? | 15:00 |
| Hatl | wof-: its a boot script | 15:00 |
| Jack_Sparrow | komputes, I have been averaging 1000 words in support a day, every day of the week... Stretched a bit thin | 15:00 |
| wof- | term_: I used to do that, until vmware | 15:00 |
| wof- | oops he left | 15:00 |
| Hatl | wof: if i exec whoami inside the script i get "root" | 15:00 |
| wof- | Hatl: Why don't you change the init mode to gfx? | 15:01 |
| wof- | instead of using the script? | 15:01 |
| unop | Hatl, you really want to run startx as user not root | 15:01 |
| co0lingFir3 | where do i get a deb for the bioapi framework? | 15:01 |
| scientist- | if i install 8.04 beta, when the final is released in a couple weeks, if i just go to software update will that bring me up to the stable version? | 15:01 |
| unop | Hatl, place startx in your ~/.xinitrc or similar -- or use ~/.xinitrc to call your script | 15:01 |
| cpk1 | wof-: too bad vmware isnt a cureall =\ | 15:01 |

| screamfd | ubuntu 7.10 is the best linux, with gnome GUI | 15:02 |

| komputes | Jack_Sparrow: oh, you are so motivated | 15:02 |

| === amita is now known as amm | ||

| unop | Hatl, sorry, place it in ~/.bashrc -- not ~/.xinitrc | 15:02 |
| Hatl | unop: then i have to login first | 15:02 |
| ManicMethod | Lamego: can't use ghost, destination is a sparc | 15:02 |
| === amm is now known as ammy | ||
| wof- | cpk1: It isn't, but I just purchased some pe1950's to build a vmware and xen enviroment | 15:03 |
| wof- | test it out ... see if its worth going down that route | 15:03 |
| unop | Hatl, indeed -- better than running everything under root no? | 15:03 |
| wof- | vmware is great for when I want to use windows | 15:03 |
| wof- | ;p | 15:03 |
| cpk1 | ManicMethod: yes there is a way to do that | 15:03 |
| co0lingFir3 | where do i get a deb for bioAPI? | 15:03 |
| Jack_Sparrow | ManicMethod, A cd that does not have any failsafe installed that completely formats you entire hard drive.. gets accidentially left out or picked up by someone and they boot it... not good | 15:03 |
| ManicMethod | cpk1: got a link? | 15:03 |
| screamfd | how burning discs, that ubuntu read there ? Was before ubuntu linux user | 15:04 |
| Lamego | manchicken, you could create a golden image, and then just dd it to the target disk | 15:04 |
| cpk1 | ManicMethod: let me try digging through the wiki real quick | 15:04 |
| Lamego | or use a partition copy utilitity | 15:04 |
| screamfd | *winXP user sry | 15:04 |
| ManicMethod | but i want it completely automated | 15:04 |
| ManicMethod | its for a colo facility | 15:04 |
| ManicMethod | they shouldn't even connect anything to the serial port (there is no video card) | 15:04 |

| tripps | bug in ubuntu - booting up with incorrect time shows dialog stating time is incorrect with message that you can run into errors. two choice buttons, ignore and change time. click on change time and states you don't have rights to perform admin task with no other prompts. have to kill xwindows and choose ignore instead. | 15:06 |
| screamfd | <Bazhang>I burn of windows with nero a data disc | 15:06 |
| unop | Hatl, it might be possible if you used sudo (yes, as root) to launch the script as a user -- but use nohup with the script to stop it terminating when the parent script exits | 15:06 |
| co0lingFir3 | could someone give me a working link for bioAPI? thanks | 15:06 |
| cpk1 | ManicMethod: this should get you started, there are links here that lead to other good info from debian, I remember reading this about a month back and I believe it will let you completely automate everythinghttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization?highlight=%28cd%29 | 15:06 |
| bazhang | screamfd: okay; and what was your question please? | 15:06 |

| tripps | i am getting craploads of NOT AUTHENTICATED messages on package updates and installs these days where I never saw them before. some aren't even from outside repos. What gives? | 15:08 |
| Hatl | unop: ill try nohup, thx | 15:08 |

| screamfd | bazhang: My question was how bring the ubuntu that ubuntu the disc read? | 15:09 |
| screamfd | 15:09 | |
| screamfd | How do I get ubuntu to the list of the disc | 15:09 |
| bazhang | ammy if you ask a specific question yes | 15:09 |
| unop | Hatl, but you must use sudo too -- otherwise startx will launch an X session as root, and that's not advisable at all | 15:09 |
| tripps | Lamego, roger that thx | 15:09 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: you want ubuntu to list your hard drives? | 15:09 |
| ammy | bazhang, i asked a question abt my sound problem can u help | 15:09 |
| ManicMethod | cpk1: thanks :) | 15:10 |
| unop | Hatl, something like this : sudo -u user nohup scriptname | 15:10 |
| screamfd | cpk1:Yes he do | 15:10 |
| cpk1 | ManicMethod: I remember I was going to try to use that preseeding stuff but it looked to confusing to bother with so the best of luck! | 15:10 |
| Hatl | unop: the script gets executed as user root | 15:11 |
| co0lingFir3 | unop: yes i did and was not successful | 15:11 |
| tripps | i have ntpdate installed yet it won't give me the option to sync time to internet servers without installing ntp. it was always synced before with ntp servers. why does it not work now? | 15:11 |
| unop | Hatl, yes, which is why you need sudo to get the script running as a normal user | 15:11 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: "sudo fdisk -l" will list your hard drives | 15:11 |
| Hatl | unop: i want to run it as root | 15:11 |

| screamfd | Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device | 15:12 |
| screamfd | E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk) | 15:12 |
| screamfd | or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk) | 15:12 |
| screamfd | or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive) | 15:12 |
| screamfd | or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices) | 15:12 |
| unop | Hatl, that's really not advisable -- goes against everything linux stands for eh? | 15:12 |

| co0lingFir3 | Jack_Sparrow: i need the package for my fingerprint reader and the site is offline | 15:15 |
| co0lingFir3 | lordleemo: the framework is only in source code and not in a deb file there | 15:16 |
| Jaffarkelshac | what is a decent screen capture software for ubuntu. i want to put together a tutorial for someone. | 15:16 |
| lordleemo | co0lingFir3: ok ill have a look about | 15:16 |
| unop | Hatl, well, if the application requires root rights, it's probably not written for security in mind or written poorly or both, there might be other ways to achieve what you want | 15:16 |

| balamurugan | polishpaul, no it doesnt.. use alt+ left .. | 15:43 |
| Odd-rationale | hazard5150: I don't know much about resierfs. Never used it myself | 15:43 |
| Jaffarkelshac | Jaymac description of the error is Recordmydesktop has exited with status 768 "Could not open/configure sound card" | 15:43 |
| bazhang | balamurugan: sure! ;] | 15:44 |
| polishpaul | balamurugan, that's gonna be a hard one to get used to... moving hands... | 15:44 |
| unop | polishpaul, backspace works in some instances - depends really | 15:44 |
| balamurugan | bazhang, ty.. | 15:44 |
| bazhang | ;] | 15:44 |
| balamurugan | polishpaul, ya it is.. but i dont know how to enable backspace.. | 15:44 |
| Jaymac | Jaffarkelshac: can't help I'm afraid. | 15:44 |
| polishpaul | i just wanna be able to browse with backspace (page back) - anyone know how to map it? | 15:44 |
| hazard5150 | Odd-rationale: Is there a bug tracker that I should check? I'm wondering if perhaps the installer chokes on reiserfs. | 15:44 |
| Jaffarkelshac | Jaymac thanks for checking anyway | 15:44 |
| screamfd | cpk1: just a moment | 15:44 |

| FlyingSquirrel32 | Hey, I urgently need to send a HTML email I've created. but its an HTML file, not in evolution. Any ideas? | 15:45 |
| hazard5150 | cpk1: I believe he was convicted, and is serving a sentence while trying to appeal. | 15:45 |
| astro76 | !minimal | salah | 15:45 |
| ubotu | salah: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 15:45 |
| salah | astro76, I love you | 15:46 |
| salah | thanks a lot | 15:46 |

| hazard5150 | cpk1: Supposedly the fs will also be maintained by others in his absence, but I can't say that I'm positive about either of these statements. | 15:46 |
| ce_cuTe | @%$@#$$#@##%$#$#%^$^# | 15:47 |

| ce_cuTe | @!%$$%$%$@#$ | 15:47 |
| bazhang | ce_cuTe: not here please | 15:47 |
| salah | just extract the files on it and start it? (my computer supports that) | 15:47 |
| astro76 | !install | salah should be possible, check here | 15:47 |
| ubotu | salah should be possible, check here: Ubuntu can be installed in a lot of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

| screamfd | cpk1: what do you mean the "mount"? A prog or command | 15:47 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: its a command | 15:48 |
| salah | thanks a lot | 15:48 |
| hazard5150 | Odd-rationale: It appears my guess is correct. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/partman-partitioning/+bug/151670 | 15:48 |
| hazard5150 | Odd-rationale: The person who responded to it mentions that it should be noted if anybody has similar problems in other setups, but I don't see an option to do so. | 15:49 |
| Odd-rationale | hazard5150: ext3 is pretty good anyways. | 15:49 |
| hazard5150 | Odd-rationale: Yeah, I don't so much mind changing, it's a minor annoyance, but I should probably find the way to add my issue to that bug. | 15:49 |

| balamurugan | i have the xubuntu installation disc and i already have ubuntu 7.10 in my system.. will i be able to install xubuntu-desktop package from the installation disc rather than downloading it from the net?? if so how?? | 15:50 |
| Jaymac | balamurugan: yes, you just need to add a line to your sources.list file. | 15:51 |
| dvandyk | hi | 15:51 |
| dvandyk | can somebody tell me where i can get the kernel config for a given package? | 15:51 |
| unop_ | balamurugan, use the apt-cdrom command to use the xubuntu cd | 15:51 |
| dvandyk | in my case, for kernel-image-2.6.22-14-cell-di | 15:51 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: so your cd isnt mounted, you will need to mount it first | 15:51 |
| balamurugan | unop, ty | 15:52 |
| hazard5150 | Is Loic Minier somebody in here? | 15:52 |
| screamfd | cpk1: that mean? | 15:52 |
| unop_ | Balaams_Miracle, once you have run that, you might (note might not should) be able to - apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 15:52 |
| unop_ | balamurugan, ^^^ | 15:52 |
| balamurugan | unop_, means? | 15:52 |
| unop_ | balamurugan, depends if xubuntu-desktop and all it's dependencies are available as packages on the CD-Rom | 15:53 |
| hazard5150 | Odd-rationale: Is there another way to report that the bug, as written, is not the bug in its entirety? I don't really feel like registering with that site. | 15:53 |
| balamurugan | unop_, oh okay.. | 15:53 |
| screamfd | balamurugan: Terminal, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 15:53 |
| unop_ | balamurugan, not all the CD's contents are .deb packages .. | 15:53 |
| balamurugan | unop_, fine its better i install it from internet.. | 15:54 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: first you need to figure out the logical name of your cd drive... "sudo lshw" and then find the cd drive and look what it says its logical name is (most likely scd1 or somesuch) | 15:54 |

| unop_ | balamurugan, worth a try atleast -- and if it works, it saves you the hassle of downloading all the packages over again | 15:54 |
| Toznoshio | I'm trying to uninstall gimp, and it's warning me that it's also going to uninstall ubuntu-desktop ... what are the consequences of uninstalling ubuntu-desktop? | 15:54 |
| ichbinich | I have a Question | 15:54 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: then you need to mount it, lets say the logical name was /dev/scd1 and you wanted to mount it to /media/cdrom you would do "sudo mount /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom | 15:54 |
| ichbinich | Are Germans here | 15:55 |
| screamfd | cpk1: Becauce , I#m eating | 15:55 |
| Jaymac | Toznoshio: ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package for everything that ubuntu depends... if you uninstall it, you risk future upgrades not pulling down all of the applications you need. | 15:55 |
| hazard5150 | Odd-rationale: That seems kind of silly, since it is offputting to folks like myself who would be happy to help out if not for the speed bumps put in the way. | 15:55 |
| hazard5150 | jussi01: What is different about that channel that I should try? | 15:55 |
| tourist-tam | any nubuntu user? | 15:55 |
| Jax | Can anyone assist me with installing jre-6u5-linux-i586.bin? | 15:55 |

| erUSUL | !java | Jax | 15:56 |
| cpk1 | screamfd: there are plenty of other people that will be here if you need help after you eat | 15:56 |

| ricanelite | any application any of you could suggest that is similar to Media Center on Windows. Also when I try to delete or add songs to my ipod. Nothing happens, I'm using Banshee | 16:21 |
| geos64 | do linux netboot | 16:21 |
| ikonia | geos64: you can net boot a linux client | 16:21 |
| ikonia | ricanelite: media center is probably closest to mythtv | 16:22 |
| unop_ | kane77, you can create the compressed file and split it up with 'split' or use 'zipsplit' to create split .zip files compatible with winzip, etc | 16:22 |

| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: sudo apt-get install mailutils | 16:28 |
| flinttown420 | yea i figured that, i never had a problem on the xp box though with this | 16:28 |
| bkoch | polish you right click on the room on the left side then uncheck show join/part | 16:28 |
| cpk1 | ricanelite: amarok might have a lot of dependencies though when you install it, just be prepared to have to install a lot of other things when you install amarok | 16:28 |
| geos64 | i whan to netboot my linux | 16:28 |
| ricanelite | yeah i just notice it | 16:28 |
| keshavkhera | Which graphic card has opensource drivers and work seamlessly with intel motherboard?: I presently have an ATI radeon xpress 200 series graphic card. It only provides closed-sourced drivers for Ubuntu. I have tried hard to configure it for ubuntu but unfortunately every time i installed the drivers, my ubuntu installation crashed. I have read many other threads in the forum regarding the problems faced with this card like this one http://ubuntuforum | 16:29 |
| keshavkhera | s.org/showthread.php?t=359290 I am thinking of changing my graphic card to a more advanced one, as this one is just onboard and doesn't go well with ubuntu ( it crashed in kubuntu and open Suse as well ) So i would like to know about the graphic cards who provider us with open source drivers or work very well with closed sourced ones ( well with compiz fusion ) Ps- i tried both the restricted drivers manager and Envy. | 16:29 |
| ricanelite | thanks for the heads up | 16:29 |
| DRebellion | geos64, you mean wake on lan? | 16:29 |
| polishpaul | bkoch, omg that was so easy THANX | 16:29 |
| bkoch | yeah I had to google it yesterday polish yw | 16:29 |
| bazhang | geos64: then get the 9MB minimal iso and add what you want | 16:29 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: presumably you already have your machine configured to send mail? | 16:29 |
| flinttown420 | my x-chat doesnt have that for some reason | 16:29 |
| polishpaul | bkoch, yeah i was coming up empty :| | 16:29 |
| ikonia | keshavkhera: no high performance graphics cards have truley open source drivers. Nvidia seems to be a bit more worth while investment at the moment, however ATI should be the best option in the very long run | 16:29 |
| geos64 | wake on lan what that | 16:29 |
| Jack_Sparrow | keshavkhera, /join #Compiz for help with that card | 16:29 |
| frank_ | ricanelite: amarok depends on kde libraries so it will install that if this is the first kde program you install | 16:29 |
| ricanelite | yea | 16:30 |
| ricanelite | it is | 16:30 |
| keshavkhera | thank you guys for you opinion | 16:30 |
| flinttown420 | frank_ but i never had a problem with windows xp and ati's control center | 16:30 |
| DRebellion | geos64, when powered off, your ethernet card listens for a "magic" packet that will switch on the computer. | 16:30 |
| codemasters | can some one hlp me to install or fix the mbr pklease.. | 16:30 |
| ikonia | codemasters: you've not told us the problem with it yet | 16:30 |
| haha | i can | 16:30 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: alternatively, you can get Evolution to add a "Content-type: text/html" header to your message. this is no good for scripting, but as a one-off... | 16:30 |
| === Hideme is now known as GillaGal | ||
| haha | reconstruct your mbr | 16:30 |
| geos64 | i whan to boot on linux dever via winpc | 16:31 |
| aguthrie | polishpaul: if you can't figure it out, you might want to try in #xchat on this network | 16:31 |
| GillaGal | Any idea why the window border disappears when using Emerald theme? | 16:31 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: But I don't think gmail will take my email for some reason. isit possible to do it through evolution? | 16:31 |
| ikonia | geos64 ok, then you need to setup netboot and pxe boot | 16:31 |
| ikonia | !netboot | 16:31 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 16:31 |
| codemasters | ikonia, after the installation is ove when i reboot my machine.it des not boot..says mbr is not found.. | 16:32 |
| frank_ | flinttown420: I don't know how good driver support for all in wonder is in linux. If you want a decent mythtv experience, it's much easier with some of the well supported capture cards | 16:32 |
| codemasters | installation is clear.. | 16:32 |
| ikonia | codemasters how many hard disks do you have in your machine ? | 16:32 |
| geos64 | do i need that pxe boot | 16:32 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: well, if you're going to use gmail, why not simply attach the html file to it? | 16:32 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: it seems to send the mail. but I never recieve anything. Already checked spam too | 16:32 |
| haha | you can use windows xp to reboot and fix that problem | 16:32 |
| haha | winxp disk | 16:32 |
| captainm | GillaGal, try alt-f2 and typing emerald --replace | 16:33 |
| haha | win xp dic | 16:33 |
| ikonia | geos64 depends how far you want to go, read the links I've just posted you and see how far you want to go | 16:33 |
| codemasters | ikonia, only onewith WinXP installed on first partition.. | 16:33 |
| ikonia | codemasters: thats exceptionally odd then that grub did not get installed to the mbr of the disk. | 16:33 |
| ikonia | !grub > codemasters | 16:33 |
| ikonia | codemasters: the link that ubotu sent you will walk you through installing grub manually | 16:33 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior:I could but the whole point of making it was so it would look professional. I never dreamed it would be this hard in an open-source world | 16:33 |
| GillaGal | captainm: alt-F2 don't bring up the run window | 16:33 |
| haha | use fdisk/mbr | 16:33 |
| ikonia | ha haha that won't help him get his ubuntu install working | 16:34 |
| haha | fdisk /mbr, it can save your system | 16:34 |
| geos64 | i see that need pxe boot or not | 16:34 |
| ikonia | his system is not lost | 16:34 |
| haha | yep | 16:34 |
| codemasters | okie : ikonia | 16:34 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: adding a "Content-type: text/html" header to your message is not hard, in any world. but gmail is not open-sourced, to my knowledge... | 16:34 |
| haha | just mbr lost | 16:34 |
| ikonia | geos64: read the link and decide if you want to use pxe or not | 16:34 |
| captainm | GillaGal, use the terminal then | 16:34 |
| haha | it doesn't matter | 16:34 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: also, I'm sending the mail to my gmail account as a test. | 16:35 |
| haha | use pxe or DOS to boot you pc ,and use command fdisk /mbr | 16:35 |
| ikonia | haha: what are you talking about | 16:35 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: i'm quite sure Evolution will allow you to stick in extra header lines, so have a go with that | 16:35 |
| GillaGal | captainm: Well that's yet another issue... when I try launching a term window, it's all white... can't type it in. | 16:35 |
| ikonia | codemasters: ignore that | 16:35 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: does my firewall need an open port for sending emails (no recieving) | 16:35 |
| ikonia | codemasters: just read the link I sent you | 16:35 |
| unop_ | kane77, cat split1 split2 split3 >> joined_file | 16:35 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: if it blocks port 25 outbound, then yes :-) | 16:35 |
| codemasters | okie sir : ikonia | 16:35 |
| kane77 | unop_, thank you very much.. | 16:36 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: I'll double check | 16:36 |
| haha | he say that his mbr has been corrputed, i just tell him how to fix this problem | 16:36 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: or maybe your isp does that further upstream...i hear some do | 16:36 |
| ricanelite | okay i got amarok running thanks guys, now when i connected my ipod the music player opens fine. ipod icon is displayed on my desktop but now when i opened up amarok and click on devices nothing is listed there. | 16:36 |
| unop_ | kane77, thats only if you used split (not zipsplit) tho | 16:36 |
| ikonia | haha: no - your solution will not help him fix his installation and gain access to his ubuntu system | 16:36 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: what are you using to send the message now? | 16:36 |
| haha | yep, that's right~but can access into win xp | 16:36 |
| codemasters | ikonia: i always install linux after windows installation .. | 16:36 |
| ikonia | haha: thats not what he asked for | 16:37 |
| haha | sorry~ | 16:37 |
| ikonia | codemasters: thats a very sensible approach | 16:37 |
| bazhang | ricanelite: you need to make sure the ipod is mounted | 16:37 |
| ricanelite | how do i check? | 16:37 |
| captainm | GillaGal, That's a separate issue? Which version of ubuntu are you running? | 16:37 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: both mail and evolution. | 16:37 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: and is evolution configured to use a local sendmail, or an external mail server? | 16:38 |
| codemasters | i dont know it is much usefull:ikonia eill try and let u know | 16:38 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: Its sending through my gmail account. | 16:38 |
| GillaGal | captainm: 7.10 Everything was working fine... till I added dual monitors today. Now Emerald isn't working (no top to windows) and my term windows are all white, can't type in them. | 16:38 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: that's fine. and adding the header line in Evolution didn't work? | 16:39 |
| haha | kernel (hd0,0)/grub.exe boot To boot GRUB via LILO, use these lines in lilo.conf: image=/boot/grub.exe label=grub.exe To boot GRUB via SYSLINUX, use these lines in syslinux.cfg: label grub.exe kernel grub.exe grub | 16:39 |
| ikonia | haha: thats an over the top solution | 16:39 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: no, I got back exactly what I put in. | 16:39 |
| ikonia | codemasters: I advise you to not follow haha's solution | 16:39 |
| ikonia | haha: that solution also won't work as he currently can't boot grub | 16:39 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: could you verify that there aren't two Content-type headers in the recieved message? | 16:39 |
| codemasters | and am i be able to install gcc 2.9.3 in it..? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | codemasters: install gcc ??? install gcc into what ? | 16:40 |
| codemasters | i did not understand you : ikonia | 16:40 |
| ikonia | codemasters: follow the link ubotu sent you | 16:40 |
| codemasters | ikonia: lower version | 16:40 |
| haha | how can u install it? | 16:40 |
| captainm | GillaGal, only your terminal windows are white? That's really odd | 16:40 |
| haha | reinstall ubuntun | 16:41 |
| codemasters | gcc old versio in ubuntu..? | 16:41 |
| screamfd | I'm back | 16:41 |
| GillaGal | captainm: yes. everything else works... might have something to do with emerald and transparent windows. | 16:41 |
| codemasters | i tryied 3 time installing ubuntu.. | 16:41 |
| codemasters | already | 16:41 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: there were two headers. but the first one was text/plain. | 16:41 |
| haha | dont install xp | 16:41 |
| FlyingSquirrel32 | sipior: I'll try doing an html email | 16:41 |
| ikonia | codemasters why ar eyou talking about gcc ??? grub is the problem | 16:41 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: you'll have to get it to alter the Content-type, instead of adding another one | 16:42 |
| haha | i am also confused | 16:42 |
| captainm | GillaGal, I was just about to say that. Try setting your terminal to solid color | 16:42 |
| Toznoshio | Issue: I'm trying to "apt-get -y install apt-file" and it's hanging at the point of "Setting up apt-file (2.0.8.2ubuntu2) ..." - then I have to hit Ctrl+C unfortunately because nothing is happening ... what could be causing this? | 16:42 |
| bazhang | haha do you have a question? or are you here to spread confusion | 16:42 |
| codemasters | no..thats my requirement in that linux...if thats possible then only i can continue in linux | 16:42 |
| screamfd | peaples what of multiboot hear? | 16:42 |
| sipior | FlyingSquirrel32: actually, evolution might just do this by default if you enable outgoing html-mail in one of the configuration options | 16:43 |
| haha | i am just here help sb~ | 16:43 |
| codemasters | or else i have to search for other disturbution :ikonia | 16:43 |
| screamfd | win xp and ubuntu.. | 16:43 |
| ikonia | codemasters: you're telling me you can't boot ubuntu - why are you talking about gcc ? | 16:43 |
| GillaGal | captainm: where do I set that? | 16:43 |
| screamfd | haha: By what? | 16:44 |
| theflamingpi | Does anyone know of a way to completely disable Ubuntu's faulty suspend/hibernate functions, and to stop kinit from looking for an image to resume? | 16:44 |
| haha | because he think he can access into ubuntu by installing gcc | 16:44 |
| codemasters | no i cant at the moment..any wasy even if i fix it..i just wanna know gcc 2.9.3 runs on it or not..? | 16:44 |
| captainm | GillaGal, in the terminal "Edit > Current profile > effects" | 16:44 |
| crashhandler | any chinese here..i want to ask about input method using skim. | 16:44 |
| ikonia | codemasters: gcc 2 is not available as a package, you'd have to build it yourself | 16:44 |
| captainm | GillaGal, and check "none (use solid color)" | 16:45 |
| screamfd | who will help? | 16:45 |
| bazhang | crashhandler: you need to use skim in xchat? | 16:45 |
| haha | help what? | 16:45 |
| codemasters | haha: moron..i am pro developer..i am installing for the first time | 16:45 |
| ikonia | codemasters: be respectful, there is no need for abuse | 16:45 |

| bazhang | codemasters: no names please | 16:45 |
| haha | i see~good luck | 16:45 |
| ikonia | codemasters: just be aware that gcc 2.9X will not be available as a core package, you'd have to build/package it yourself | 16:45 |
| codemasters | oh ok:ikonia | 16:45 |
| GillaGal | captainm: lol Umm... back to the initial problem then.... NO window borders. | 16:45 |
| bazhang | haha please go to #ubuntu-offopic | 16:45 |
| GillaGal | captainm: The whole term window is white... can't see the edit, close, etc... | 16:46 |
| crashhandler | bazhang^ yes maybe. :) i successfully setup n able to type in chinese using skim. but say in the input box,i type nihaoma ..so the characters are there,but when i hit Enter key,it reverts itself to roman character..how to fix that? | 16:46 |
| haha | ubuntu offopic do what? | 16:47 |
| crashhandler | maybe my q is too complicated | 16:47 |
| crashhandler | haha | 16:47 |
| codemasters | will that going to be hard...to make that build ..? | 16:47 |
| ikonia | codemasters: it can be quite complex | 16:47 |
| bazhang | crashhandler: you need to choose them via the numbers | 16:47 |
| LinuxMercedes | ok, so how do I set my sendmail up so I don't get "Deferred: connection timed out" when I send mail? | 16:47 |
| captainm | GillaGal, We need a working terminal or run application box to solve the original problem ;) | 16:47 |
| codemasters | can i get any link for it :ikonia.. | 16:47 |
| bazhang | haha please stop; this is the second time you have been asked | 16:47 |
| ikonia | LinuxMercedes: thats normally because your machine can't talk to the target machine | 16:48 |

| ikonia | LinuxMercedes: to use gmail's smtp server you need to some sort of smtp authentication | 16:52 |
| LinuxMercedes | ikonia: no, AT&T | 16:52 |
| geos64 | enye soft ware create image from boot manger | 16:52 |

| DRebellion | mkz, so what's the problem? | 16:59 |
| sarah___ | hey guys, i think i have a serious problem with my ubuntu. I tried to get updates, and it said the index was broken? | 17:00 |
| HeMan | http://127.0.1.1/HeMan | 17:00 |
| sarah___ | It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first. | 17:00 |
| mkz | DRebellion: mostly that I'm an idiot, apparently. When I ssh into the home machine via ssh -X ##.##.##.## and run firefox nothing happens. | 17:00 |
| ikonia | HeMan: please don't post pointless ur's | 17:00 |
| mkz | DRebellion: wait | 17:00 |
| gamma-k | yo | 17:01 |
| mkz | DRebellion: could it be that it's incredibly slow and that I wasn't waiting? A new firefox window just opened up while we were chatting... | 17:01 |

| screamfd | unop: By another cd's | 17:05 |
| Elevator_Hazard | murlidhar in your theme's location then in the gtk2.0 folder its got what you want to edit. | 17:05 |
| Toznoshio | Exteris: I just tried - same behavior :( | 17:05 |
| sarah___ | hmm jaymac, i still got the same error | 17:05 |
| mkz | it seems konqueror loads the page more quickly... though I can't imagine why... | 17:05 |
| murlidhar | Elevator_Hazard, does any editor comes for east editing? | 17:06 |
| Jaymac | sarah___: did you put a # in front of the line deb cdrom....... ? | 17:06 |
| captainm | gamma-k, press alt-f2 and type gksudo nautilus then you can just right-click on the volume and set the permissions under properties. | 17:06 |
| murlidhar | Elevator_Hazard, easy editing? | 17:06 |
| bazhang | sarah___: you need to update first | 17:06 |

| sarah___ | one sec | 17:06 |

| loa | bazhang, i try ipw3945 and iwl3945 | 17:10 |

| gizzo | just how can one manage partitions in ubuntu? and i dont mean the hard way, i'm looking for a point and click way | 17:11 |
| gamma-k | captainm: I'm a little confused, there are two volumes on the desktop: System and WinRE. These do not show in Nautilus. Am I doing something wrong? | 17:11 |
| loa | bazhang, i have too computers and route. On one i have d-link adapter, and on other 3945abg | 17:11 |
| mkz | DRebellion: thanks for the help. I was doing it right all along, I just wasn't being patient. | 17:11 |
| pstangcjd | gizzo: gparted | 17:11 |
| DRebellion | mkz, tut, tut :P | 17:11 |
| Jaymac | gizzo System > Administration > Partition Editor | 17:11 |
| * mkz shurgs | 17:12 | |
| gizzo | pstangcjd: it keeps "scanning" the drives forever | 17:12 |
| loa | bazhang, i start ping on both, and see that 3945 miss about 30% of packets | 17:12 |
| * mkz still learning the ins-and-outs after all this time... :) | 17:12 | |
| bazhang | loa what is the encryption on that? | 17:12 |
| bluefox83 | i need an app for writing to pdf files...anyone know of one? | 17:12 |
| Jaymac | gamma-k: System is usually your / directory. | 17:12 |
| DRebellion | mkz, probably would have been faster to forward http over an ssh tunnel | 17:12 |
| Jaymac | gamma-k: you can probably find WinRE in /media/ | 17:12 |
| bazhang | loa it could be interference from other devices | 17:12 |
| hackeron | does anyone one how I can provide live stream audio from a microphone? -- i.e. go to an address and be able to hear a live feed of the microphone on the other end | 17:12 |
| loa | bazhang, wpa2 | 17:13 |
| captainm | gamma-k, you can find them in the /media/ folder. Be careful though. The command gksudo nautilus opens a nautilus window with root privileges. It's easy to mess something up as root ;) | 17:13 |
| gamma-k | Jaymac: captainm: Thanks. I'll see that. | 17:13 |
| loa | bazhang, in notebook? | 17:13 |
| nDuff | hackeron, personally, I'd try using gstreamer. | 17:13 |
| screamfd | a question, can a command for uninstall using: sudo apt-get uninstall <prog> or? *put? | 17:14 |
| bazhang | loa well I have that same card and the performance is quite good; how is the ethernet connection on the other machine? | 17:14 |
| nDuff | hackeron, it supports network sources and sinks, so the whole thing should be fairly straightforward to rig. | 17:14 |
| unop_ | bluefox83, iirc, all the openoffice applications can export files to pdf | 17:14 |
| loa | bazhang, all i ok. | 17:14 |
| loa | bazhang, *is | 17:14 |
| bazhang | screamfd: remove not uninstall | 17:14 |
| leau2001 | hi all, anybody knows where i can found tightvnc 1.3.9 package for ubuntu ? | 17:14 |
| captainm | screamfd, the command is sudo apt-get remove [name] | 17:14 |
| unop_ | bluefox83, is that what you want? or do you want to convert other types to pdf? if so, what types are they? | 17:15 |
| bluefox83 | unop_, i have a financial aid form to fill out, it's already pdf | 17:15 |
| screamfd | ok thx captainm | 17:15 |
| mkz | DRebellion: interesting prospect. It's not something I've done before, but then I hadn't forwarded X over ssh before either (if indeed that's how you would refer to what I'm doing...) | 17:15 |
| unop_ | bluefox83, right, i see -- have you tried acroread? | 17:15 |
| unop_ | bluefox83, or evince even? (not sure it does that tho) | 17:16 |
| hackeron | nDuff: hmm, I'll check it out thanks | 17:16 |
| bluefox83 | unop_, nevermind, i'll find another way to fill out the form... | 17:16 |
| bazhang | loa you might try getting a small signal booster or move closer to the hotspot; if those have an effect then it is some other spectrum interference | 17:16 |
| DRebellion | mkz, basically, by creating a tunnel, (eg from port 5555 on your computer to the ssh server) you can send data to localhost:5555 and it will get "tunneled" over the encrypted connection and reemerge as a connection from the ssh server | 17:16 |
| Noname_ | i have a 22 in westinghouse lcd that goes up to 1680x1050 but the highest ubuntu will let me set it is 1400x1050 any ideas on how i can fix this | 17:17 |
| hackeron | nDuff: ehh. can you be more specific? - Gstreamer is a framework for accessing media -- exactly what do I do to go from microphone to rtp or something similar? | 17:17 |

| mkz | DRebellion: I will do some more research on this. question: does it necessitate that I make configuration changes to my router? As it is I have enabled port forwarding of port 22 to my server... | 17:18 |
| screamfd | how became afer the mount the cd return? | 17:18 |
| DRebellion | mkz, nope | 17:19 |

| DRebellion | mkz, just search google for ssh tunneling | 17:19 |
| bastid_raZor | Noname_; possibly run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and during that you'll have the options of selecting more resolutions | 17:20 |

| Noname_ | ok | 17:22 |
| GillaGal | captainm: nothing.... it just sits there. | 17:22 |
| Noname_ | should i autodetect hardware | 17:22 |
| captainm | GillaGal, hmm, I'm out of ideas. You could try reinstalling emerald altogether. | 17:23 |
| bastid_raZor | Noname_; the defaults and autodetection are the safest methods | 17:23 |

| DRebellion | pushpop, no idea if an amd 4400+ is 64bit | 17:38 |
| Toznoshio | I'm having problems with my CUPS subsystem: I can print flawlessly from AbiWord, but not from KWord or from OpenOffice Writer - what could be wrong? | 17:38 |
| tomtv | http://www.pastebin.ca/956915 can anyone help me with tv out here is my xorg conf file | 17:38 |
| hischild | pushpop, your OS has to be 64bit. Whether you can run that depends on your CPU if it can support 64bit | 17:38 |
| Blackthorn | how do you rmdir a directory that is not empty? | 17:38 |
| LinuxMercedes | pushpop: if you have a 64 bit cpu, you also need a 64bit linux distro | 17:38 |
| cpu | yea its 64 bit the amd 4400+ and i think its x2 | 17:39 |
| floyd | hello... quick question... how can i install verdana font on ubuntu? | 17:39 |
| hischild | Black, rm -r /dir | 17:39 |
| hischild | Blackthorn, ^ | 17:39 |
| pushpop | got cha thx | 17:39 |
| captainm | gamma-k, It just occurred to me that we've been doing this the hard way :P you can also edit /etc/fstab so linux doesn't mount the drives automaticly | 17:39 |
| Gearparts | floyd: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts | 17:39 |
| floyd | tnx Gearparts | 17:39 |
| cpu | pushpop: you can run 32 bit distro and 64 bit distro ... you have to chose which is better or fine for you.. | 17:39 |
| tomtv | http://www.pastebin.ca/956915 can anyone help me with tv out here is my xorg conf file | 17:39 |
| Gearparts | what tv card you have tomtv? | 17:40 |
| hischild | Blackthorn, do not use in combination with sudo to avoid bad situations (removing root is bad and happens fast, it's just a space) btu you can use rm -r /folder/to/remove | 17:40 |
| cpu | so i think using 64 bit os is better and faseter enven more its moe effecent | 17:40 |
| tomtv | no i want to have picture from pc to tv | 17:40 |
| Gearparts | aa | 17:40 |

| Toznoshio | amenado, I think so | 17:41 |
| amenado | lmg-> do you have firewall on? | 17:41 |
| captainm | gamma-k, in a terminal type gksu gedit /etc/fstab and find the windows partitions. Change the options "auto" to "noauto" and "user" to "nouser" | 17:41 |
| lmg | amenado: I have firestarter installed, but closed it. (etc/init.d/firestarter stop) | 17:41 |

| tomtv | ok i see it now | 17:44 |
| tomtv | x server display configuration | 17:44 |
| Gearparts | yes | 17:44 |
| Gearparts | there are monitor | 17:44 |
| amenado | lmg as you can see, you have rules, dont know which one prevents you from pinging, also you have a DROP default policies -- those will stop you cold, even if you dont have rules | 17:44 |
| tomtv | tv-0 disables i see screen | 17:44 |
| hischild | njenkin2, you'll have to take that question into offtopoc if it isn't related to support. | 17:44 |
| njenkin2 | Where would I look to find out the standings of the different Presidential candidates on Open Source software? | 17:44 |
| keshavkhera | Uatec, first of all on enabling effects on with ATI i get that effects cud not be enabled then when i install the drivers which are not open source, i get a grey screen on on bootup which is stagnant | 17:44 |
| Gearparts | enable it | 17:44 |
| njenkin2 | Ok | 17:44 |
| Gearparts | if it's possible | 17:44 |
| lmg | amenado: http://pastebin.com/d5f6c3110 after stopping firestarter | 17:44 |
| njenkin2 | I will | 17:45 |
| tomtv | how to enable it | 17:45 |
| gamma-k | captainm: it doesn't seem to let me change anything. It immediately restores the owner back to 'root'. As well are the folder priviledges restored before i can apply them. | 17:45 |
| Gearparts | i dont know | 17:45 |
| Uatec | keshavkhera, do you get the X mouse cursor with the grey screen? | 17:45 |
| floyd | Gearparts: at installation it told me to also install x-ttcidfont-conf if i want to use them for X ... should i? | 17:45 |
| lmg | amenado: how can I change the default policy to 'allow' ? | 17:45 |
| tomtv | i see option twinview | 17:45 |
| Gearparts | yes i think | 17:45 |
| amenado | lmg your default now shows as ACCEPT | 17:45 |
| keshavkhera | Uatec, no cursor, just a plain screen, nothing else | 17:46 |
| amenado | lmg but you have not verified it for me, again type same command after you stopped firestarter.. | 17:46 |
| captainm | gamma-k, We've been trying to do this the hard way. My bad! It's better to tell Linux not to mount the drives on startup and make sure users can't mount the drives. In a terminal type gksu gedit /etc/fstab and find the windows partitions. Change the options "auto" to "noauto" and "user" to "nouser" | 17:46 |
| lmg | amenado: that was the output of the command after stopping firestarter. | 17:46 |
| * co_cuex pagi | 17:46 | |
| amenado | lmg show me like you did in the previous post, sudo iptables -n -vL | 17:46 |

| Gearparts | tomtv, try reboot :D? | 17:47 |
| amenado | lmg show including the command when you paste | 17:47 |

| lmg | amenado: http://pastebin.com/d602f921f | 17:47 |

| HorizonXP | zombie_monkey: whatever that little icon is that pops up when bluetooth is started | 17:48 |
| HorizonXP | zombie_monkey: no idea, it just works on my install; I think it might be bluez-utils or something | 17:48 |
| amenado | lmg, okay now show me what you got in /etc/hosts file | 17:48 |
| xtremely_ | hi | 17:48 |
| LadyNikon | is there a way to turn off encryption via the command line? | 17:48 |

| cpu | .. | 17:49 |
| xtremely_ | if a want to watch a dvd i only hear the background sound and no voices | 17:49 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> encryption of which link? are you transmitting something to another host? | 17:49 |
| gamma-k | captainm: Ok! I'll just annoy you a little more: Is it possible to leave the drives visible and accessible to me only, not the other users? If it is not fairly easy, please don't bother, I'm just a beginner :) | 17:49 |
| Jeruvy | xtremely_: sounds like your audio output doesn't match your hardware. Try changing to 'stereo'. | 17:50 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: to make a long story short.. my laptop thinks my schools wifi is wep encrypted. | 17:50 |
| bee | Is there a way to get a newer version of Freetds? | 17:50 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: its not. | 17:50 |

| _moro_bana_ | is there a linux version on borland c++ builder | 17:51 |
| captainm | gamma-k, No problem! You could always mount them when you need them but that's a bit of a hassle. So we're back at setting the permisions again :P. Give me a sec and I'll try to find an easy way | 17:51 |
| amenado | lmg i kind of forgot already what your ping issue was...what was it? | 17:51 |
| _moro_bana_ | of* | 17:51 |
| Jeruvy | xtremely_: for example, if your media is DTS, then stereo isn't going to work. | 17:51 |
| DRebellion | _moro_bana_, c++ compiler? why not use g++? | 17:52 |
| xtremely_ | Jeruvy: i can watch this dvds at my archlinux pc without any problems | 17:52 |
| lmg | amenado: it was "permission denied", wich vanished when I turned off firestarter. now it simply times out. http://pastebin.com/d268cef1a | 17:52 |
| Jeruvy | xtremely_: I can't help you there | 17:52 |
| xtremely_ | Jeruvy: ok i try reinstalling the codecs thx | 17:53 |
| Jeruvy | xtremely_: chances are you're using a dolby or DTS audio type and your hardware doesn't support it (or the media plater doesn't). | 17:53 |
| _moro_bana_ | DRebellion: that i use, but need to use something like borland ,have to make a program with a gui | 17:53 |
| amenado | lmg try to have your entry in hosts to be like 127.0.0.1 localhost.myhome.com localhost Ubuntu710gutsy | 17:54 |

| tomtvout | hi i want to have picture from pc to tv i plugged in the cables now i am in here nvidia-settings what to do there | 17:54 |
| _moro_bana_ | DRebellion: i mean on borland, its already done for the programmer, just have to fill in the code | 17:54 |
| lmg | amenado: didn't change anything | 17:54 |
| xtremely_ | Jeruvy: my soundcard is a "VIA 8235" | 17:55 |
| xtremely_ | on board | 17:55 |
| _moro_bana_ | DRebellion: linux gui ,windows gui, does it make a diff? | 17:55 |
| amenado | lmg how about just ping localhost ? | 17:55 |

| _moro_bana_ | DRebellion:in school we work on windows but i have ubuntu on my box, when it comes to times like these i suffer, have you ever used borland builder | 17:56 |
| amenado | lmg thats odd. | 17:57 |
| beex | it seems like I should be able to, but neither the file search within nautilus, or the tracker tool does this | 17:57 |
| Jeruvy | lmg is the nic up? is the localhost nic up? | 17:57 |
| DRebellion | _moro_bana_, nope. There are linux IDEs you can use that have interface builders | 17:57 |

| SuperSayjin | DETAILED LINUX INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | We are in the process of making an installer to make this process much easier. For now, here are detailed instructions to setup the SMP client. | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | 1) Go to Terminal. Depending of your desktop engine (KDE, GNOME, ...) the Terminal application can be at different places, but you'll find it. GNOME has it at "Applications->Accessories->Terminal". Open Terminal. | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | 2) In the Terminal window you should see a prompt that looks something like this: | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | yourusername@yourcomputername ~ $ | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | 3) To get the SMP FAH client going type in following commands: | 18:08 |
| FloodBot2 | SuperSayjin: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | mkdir -p ~/folding/FAH | 18:08 |
| LadyNikon | SuperSayjin: stop. | 18:08 |
| sorsis | GNUtoo: gmailfs, is typo or do you mees some app which has extension fs? | 18:08 |
| GNUtoo | LadyNikon, http error 400: bad request | 18:08 |
| screamfd | how on hung a hddwith Terminal or prog, when termina please a example command | 18:08 |
| SuperSayjin | i didnt mean to do that >.> | 18:08 |
| * SuperSayjin appolagises | 18:09 | |
| LadyNikon | SuperSayjin: i kinda figured that after i saw that you posted heh | 18:09 |
| GNUtoo | sorsis, gmailfs is a fuse filesystem for storing data in gmail | 18:09 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> two of the AP you pasted shows encrypted:on so two are encrypted..only one is not | 18:10 |

| tim | The drivers for Radeon 2600 xt AGP dont work | 18:10 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: its not encrypted. thats the problem. | 18:11 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> btw, why is the date of your posting dated Sept 13 2007? this is not current? | 18:11 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: it started then. I have been working on it since then | 18:11 |
| sorsis | GNUtoo: haven't used. sorry. | 18:11 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: sept is when it i noticed the problem. | 18:11 |
| beex | can I have beagle/tracker search within one folder, recursively? | 18:11 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> well per your iwlist scan results, it does show two are encrypted and one is not, what is it today for comparison? | 18:12 |
| amenado | lmg if you cant reboot, try /etc/init.d/networking restart and lets see if it corrects it | 18:12 |
| tim | Hi the drivers for radeon 2600xt do not work ? canu help me plz | 18:13 |
| lmg | amenado: that's the reason for not being able to reboot. mustn't loose open connections. | 18:13 |
| pro-rsoft | Hi all, whats the default bittorrent client in ubuntu? | 18:13 |
| amenado | lmg is this a remote location? | 18:13 |
| lmg | amenado: no. | 18:14 |
| tim | osed the connection) | 18:14 |
| tim | <lmg> amenado: that's the reason for not being able to reboot. mustn't loose open connections | 18:14 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: i know what iwlist says which is the weird part.. because I work here on campus.. and no for a fact there is no encryption on the waps i am trying to connect too. | 18:14 |
| yacc | Just wondering, is there a way to install Ubuntu onto a headless box? | 18:14 |
| amenado | lmg then why cant you not restart it? you can get in front an restart if you must noh? | 18:14 |
| hazard5150 | yacc: You can't give it a head for a moment to get SSH running? | 18:15 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: gimmie a sec on the rest | 18:15 |
| Lnxmad | Hello there everyone | 18:15 |
| lmg | amenado: it has connections open to remote locations, that mustn't be closed. | 18:15 |
| yacc | hazard5150: nope, I don't own any monitor/lcd/... | 18:15 |
| Lnxmad | I was wondering if anyone is on 8.04 | 18:16 |
| yacc | hazard5150: the best, assuming that I can get it to work would be my plasma TV, that knows HDMI, OTOH, the PC involved is 4-5 yrs old. | 18:16 |
| DRebellion | Lnxmad, #ubuntu+1 | 18:16 |
| Lnxmad | thx | 18:16 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: they all say on now | 18:16 |
| hazard5150 | yacc: Only other thing I could suggest then would be to get detailed steps on an getting SSH running, and then hope you don't typo. | 18:16 |
| hazard5150 | yacc: Your TV doesn't have a VGA in? | 18:16 |
| amenado | lmg-> if one of your nics go bad, and you can not repair it online.. you haft to reboot to replace it..no other way i know of unless its one of those premium hot swappable systems | 18:16 |
| yacc | hazard5150: nope, just HDMI ;( | 18:16 |
| tim | <Admond> 4 | 18:16 |
| ubuntunoob | get a hdmi to vga adapter | 18:16 |
| K1rb | Hey | 18:18 |
| K1rb | I have a question | 18:18 |
| DRebellion | yacc, borrow a monitor from a friend? | 18:18 |
| K1rb | need quick help please. | 18:18 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> i somehow tend to believe they are really on....and what does a windows clients detects? compare the parameters..same? | 18:18 |
| K1rb | When ne1 has a chance | 18:18 |
| DRebellion | !ask | K1rb | 18:18 |
| ubotu | K1rb: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 18:18 |
| macogw | LadyNikon: wanna borrow my wifi detector? | 18:18 |
| K1rb | How do I compress a folder as .zip, but have it recognized as a Unix Executable File? | 18:18 |
| yacc | DRebellion: well, I'd be happy enough, a CD/DVD image that does DHCP and enables ssh, guess that should be enough, to get a debootstrap going. | 18:18 |
| macogw | K1rb: um you dont | 18:18 |
| yacc | K1rb: you mean have it as a selfextracting zip? | 18:18 |
| macogw | K1rb: unless you mean just make it have executable mode, with chmod +x | 18:19 |
| K1rb | I heard that doing chmod +x in terminal will do it, but it just adds an mv. as a prefix | 18:19 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: there is no wep on the windows side.. you just input the essid and connect. | 18:19 |
| yacc | K1rb: if you can assume that unzip is installed on all targets, it's simple: write a script, and append the zip. | 18:19 |
| turbough | K1rb: i think the 7z linux port makes self extracting files | 18:19 |
| yacc | K1rb: zip files have the interesting property that you can append them to any file => they are read from the tail. | 18:19 |
| mangojambo | do someone here use ktoon ? | 18:19 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: i have talked to the network admin .. its a cisco router.. he is standing by his decision that its a client problem not the web problem. | 18:19 |
| LadyNikon | s/wep/wap problem | 18:20 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> what am asking is, can you do a scan on the windows? then compare the parameters the scan presents to you to the one from ubuntu, same mac addresses? etc... | 18:20 |
| turbough | K1rb: it's just kind weird because every linux distro comes with tar, gzip, and bzip2 | 18:20 |
| stepz | hi, I need help setting the display resolution to 1366x768 with the nvidia restricted driver when the displays EDID seems to report wrong resolutions | 18:20 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: i dont know the command on windows to do the scan.. do you know it off hand. | 18:20 |
| K1rb | Yeah, I'm trying to recompress the folder as a .pk3 for a game, but no matter what I try the game won't read the .zip as it does the others | 18:20 |
| stepz | its currently at 1280x1024 which is stretched | 18:20 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: lemme boot into windows | 18:20 |
| rage_ | can you guys help me with a thing, i cant get world of warcraft to work :/ | 18:21 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> typically the utilities that came with the wifi drivers have tools to scan...maybe its in the menu? | 18:21 |
| stepz | does anyone have any experience with forcing resolutions for the nvidia driver? | 18:21 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: ill take a look. | 18:21 |
| K1rb | I'm actually using OS X, but getting help here's better than asking anyone else. I'm dealing w/ common unix things anyhow | 18:21 |
| turbough | rage_: it might work better if you installed osx or xp | 18:21 |
| LadyNikon | K1rb: i did it.. wasnt fun.. | 18:21 |
| K1rb | LadyNikon, did what? | 18:21 |
| turbough | K1rb: osx comes with stuff that unarchives tar.gz files | 18:22 |
| tim | Hi the drivers for radeon 2600xt do not work ? canu help me plz | 18:22 |
| rage_ | turbough: thanks | 18:22 |
| LadyNikon | K1rb: me and kubuntu had a long talk about my monitor resolution.. I won.. but kinda. | 18:22 |
| turbough | rage_: ;) | 18:22 |
| LadyNikon | lemme think | 18:22 |
| LadyNikon | !resolution | 18:22 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 18:22 |
| turbough | rage_: seriously what are you using? | 18:22 |
| rage_ | ubuntu | 18:22 |
| turbough | K1rb: you can make something that people can double click on | 18:22 |
| amenado | K1rb-> what compression is .pk3? is that compatible with zip gzip or among the common compressions in linux? | 18:23 |
| CDOG | Hello. I just installed firestarter firewall and noticed . I was connected to an ip in Tel Aviv Israel on port 18752. I had all applications closed. And do not know what process/programme is making that connection. becaue it appears blank on the firewall. Could this be a legitimate connection from a system process? What should i do? | 18:23 |
| turbough | K1rb: if you have a directory named "my_junk" then it's: tar zcvf my_junk/ | 18:23 |
| bastid_raZor | amenado; pk3 is not a compressed file.. that sounds like a gaming pack file | 18:23 |
| amenado | CDOG-> just installed the firewall and you already got a hole? | 18:23 |
| turbough | rage_: are you using some sort of emulator to get it to run? | 18:23 |
| turbough | rage_: wow only supports xp and osx | 18:24 |
| === rage_ is now known as HumanRage^ | ||
| CDOG | amenado, well i noticed that connection because i installed the firewall | 18:24 |
| amenado | bastid_raZor-> as you can tell, am not a gamer..hehe | 18:24 |
| K1rb | amenado .pk3 is a game file for urban terror, I decompressed it to add textures and things, now I can't get the game to use the file for some odd reason | 18:24 |
| K1rb | it's a .zip, yes. | 18:24 |
| turbough | HumanRage^: are you following a tutorial? | 18:24 |
| bastid_raZor | amenado; i've seen those files in some Quake directories is why i say that. | 18:24 |
| [T]an1 | i am looking for a search command in apt-get. is there one? i am used to yum with fedora. I would type yum search 'package-name'. anything like that in apt-get? | 18:24 |
| amenado | CDOG-> how did you verify that? what command did you use? | 18:24 |
| HumanRage^ | turbough: im using wine | 18:25 |
| turbough | HumanRage^ cedega says it's works | 18:25 |
| pstangcjd | [T]an1: apt-cache search | 18:25 |
| CDOG | amenado, didnt use any command try to use netstat but couldnt see it. i just opened firestarter firewall and looked at the list of active connections and well there it is | 18:25 |
| amenado | K1rb-> so any .pk3 files you can just use unzip? or jar ? | 18:25 |
| HumanRage^ | turbough: and im following tutorials and still noting | 18:25 |
| [T]an1 | pstangcjd: thank you | 18:25 |
| pstangcjd | yw | 18:25 |
| CDOG | amenado, i dont know how to block it either | 18:26 |
| DarKnesS_WolF | can anyone points me to a howto get the tv-tuner in All-In-Wounder-128Pro to work with Ubuntu ? | 18:26 |
| amenado | CDOG-> do you have a browser on? or maybe you are using a freenode server in israel? | 18:26 |
| bastid_raZor | amenado; K1rb :: negative ghostrider.. they are not a compressed files. | 18:26 |
| amenado | bastid_raZor-> then i dont think he can use a zip format to compress it then and make it work with the app | 18:27 |
| K1rb | yeah, I change the .pk3 to .zip and osx unarchives perfectly. I just archived it, and changed it back to .pk3... but it was still a .zip according to finder... the origional .pk3 is a Unix Executable File according to finder. | 18:27 |
| CDOG | amenado no, its on port 18752..and i had everything closed. the connection is still there but i think this firewall only has the option to allow policies and not deny connections | 18:27 |
| K1rb | I think this is the problem. I need to find a way to make finder think it's a Unix Exec w/ .pk3 suffix | 18:27 |
| amenado | CDOG paste in pastebin your sudo iptables -n -vL results | 18:27 |
| K1rb | but I don't know how to get it to reg. as a Unix Exec file... I added mv. before compression and again after and nothing changes... OS X still sees it as a .zip | 18:28 |
| bastid_raZor | amenado; upon researching and slapping myself in the face.. a pk3 /is/ a renamed zip file.. look at this :: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PK3 | 18:29 |
| K1rb | So I was just wondering, what in the hell distiguishes a Unix Executable? | 18:29 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: I am gonna download netstumbler | 18:29 |
| peter- | I got a problem. Its called for urban terror sound problem. In terminal i get http://paste.arkku.net/index.php?id=107941580847e9442479d88 this. | 18:29 |
| amenado | K1rb-> i dont see pk3 in /usr/share/mime/magic <-- shows supported magic numbers | 18:30 |
| K1rb | Yeah, I know what a .pk3 is... I decompressed it by renaming it .zip | 18:30 |
| ph00l1sh | chat.us.freenode.net | 18:30 |
| K1rb | .zip = .pk3 | 18:30 |
| ph00l1sh | uuups! | 18:30 |
| Pici` | ph00l1sh: You're already on freenode | 18:30 |
| ph00l1sh | lol | 18:30 |
| ph00l1sh | i know | 18:30 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> what showed up when you did a scan on windows? compare the mac address of the AP you associated with, with the list from iwlist scan results | 18:31 |
| ph00l1sh | i wasnt paying attention xchat just connects automatically, cool! | 18:31 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: thts why i am installing net stumbler. | 18:31 |
| amenado | K1rb-> not per the /usr/share/mime/magic | 18:31 |
| LadyNikon | i deleted the toshiba crap long ago. | 18:31 |
| differentreality | hi... how can i use kill with wildcard ? sth like kill 617* so that I can kill at once all the processes with pid that begins with 617.. like 6170, 6171 etc.. ? | 18:31 |
| K1rb | amenado, what are you talking about? | 18:31 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> oh okay. | 18:31 |
| LadyNikon | and i dont know what ipconfig command does all that | 18:31 |
| amenado | K1rb-> magic numbers? you dont know what magic numbers are? | 18:31 |
| K1rb | Amenado, no. | 18:32 |
| bastid_raZor | differentreality; if it is an app that is using those consecutive PID's you could use killall app_name | 18:32 |
| sridevi | i have problem in my ssl | 18:32 |
| jtravnick | hey i know this is off topic but can somebody tell me is a PATA drive the same as an IDE drive? | 18:32 |

| Pici` | K1rb: Are you using Ubuntu or OSX here? | 18:32 |
| unop__ | jtravnick, yes | 18:32 |
| amenado | K1rb-> ahh...its how the system knows what type of file it is.. elf, dos, zip, tar, etc | 18:32 |
| K1rb | Uh, whichever will get me the most help :/ | 18:32 |
| Pici` | K1rb: ... | 18:33 |

| K1rb | Yes you can | 18:33 |
| differentreality | bastid_raZor, if it's different apps ? | 18:33 |
| Pici` | K1rb: No, we cannot, and will not. | 18:33 |
| sridevi | ssh sorry | 18:33 |

| jtravnick | unop__, k thanks got to get a new drive for this system and hadnt seen that kind before | 18:33 |
| Howbag | Hey guys, anyone know if a C++ IDE exists? im new to the thing so dont flame if it doesnt :P | 18:33 |
| amenado | CDOG paste in pastebin your sudo iptables -n -vL results | 18:33 |
| mbroman | My sound does not work with a lenovo thinkpad r61i series, any thoughts? | 18:33 |
| === HumanRage^ is now known as Humanrage^ | ||
| K1rb | Peter- is for Urban Terror too, | 18:34 |
| mbroman | they driver is there because i can access the sound controls | 18:34 |
| K1rb | All I want to know is HOW do you make a computer think that a .zip is a Unix Executable File? | 18:34 |
| unop__ | jtravnick, if you are wondering why devices under ubuntu are now /dev/sd* now, its because the underlying library is the same | 18:34 |
| K1rb | That's completely Ubuntu related. | 18:34 |
| LjL | K1rb, just execute it (of course, it needs to have the +x attribute) | 18:34 |
| Pici` | K1rb: Not if you're running OSX and NOT ubuntu. | 18:34 |
| Peter- | Klrb: What? | 18:35 |
| unop__ | K1rb, and that would be a crazy thing to do | 18:35 |
| amenado | K1rb-> i suggest you look up what a magic number is... | 18:35 |
| Peter- | What is for uban terror | 18:35 |
| K1rb | I already did chmod +x in terminal | 18:35 |
| kane77 | why can't I download some packages? | 18:35 |
| jtravnick | unop__, do you know if i use seegates software to clone the old drive will it work with ubuntu or am i better of just manualy moving the files after a fresh install? | 18:35 |
| LjL | K1rb: then just execute it | 18:35 |
| Lnxmad | hey i was wondering if anyone can help me with an install proble | 18:35 |
| Lnxmad | m | 18:35 |
| bastid_raZor | differentreality; i'm not sure you can use a wildcard to kill pid's that way. if it is different apps then kill those apps too | 18:35 |
| Peter- | Klrb: Is there an channel for urban terror? | 18:35 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: this is weird.. the wep flag keeps popping on and off. | 18:35 |
| Jaymac | !ask | Lnxmad | 18:35 |
| z1o | linux, the you can sue misc bin formats | 18:35 |
| ubotu | Lnxmad: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 18:35 |
| unop__ | jtravnick, you can use dd to clone a drive -- check the dd manpage | 18:35 |
| K1rb | LjL, how do I execute a .zip file!? This is my problem | 18:35 |
| z1o | same was as mono does it | 18:35 |
| Lnxmad | it gets to installing grub and freezes | 18:35 |
| Peter- | Kirl: Is there an channel for urban terror | 18:35 |
| pstangcjd | K1rb: your trying to make a .zip file executable? | 18:35 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: a few of the mac address are the same as in the file. | 18:35 |
| K1rb | Yes | 18:36 |
| Lnxmad | I have two drives | 18:36 |
| amenado | LadyNikon-> perhaps some other AP nearby is spoofing? | 18:36 |
| Peter- | K1rb: What the channel is | 18:36 |
| Lnxmad | one for os and one for data | 18:36 |
| pstangcjd | K1rb: doesn't make sense | 18:36 |
| LjL | K1rb, a .zip file cannot be executed, if it's a real zip file - quite obviously. because it's an archive, not a program. | 18:36 |
| mbroman | anyone know why the sound wouldnt work even if the drivers are installed? | 18:36 |
| jtravnick | unop__, oh didnt know we had our own cloneer thanks | 18:36 |
| z1o | zip file can be executed | 18:36 |
| BloodFeastIsland | they have a MAC channel K1rb | 18:36 |
| LjL | z1o: no. | 18:36 |

| unop__ | jtravnick, this is the unix legacy, there's something for almost everything | 18:36 |
| z1o | LjL: yes look up misc bin formats | 18:36 |
| pstangcjd | z1o: no - it can be uncompressed | 18:36 |
| Pici` | K1rb: I suggest you ask in ##mac | 18:36 |
| os2mac | mbroman: do "aplay -l" and tell me the response | 18:36 |
| LadyNikon | amenado: bleh this is dumb. | 18:37 |
| differentreality | bastid_raZor, yeah with kill you cannot use wildcards... that's what I'm asking if there is some way with another command other than kill maybe with which wildcards can actually be used | 18:37 |
| mbroman | anyone know why the sound wouldnt work even if the drivers are installed? | 18:37 |
| z1o | mono does it with bytecode.. same thing | 18:37 |

| LinuxMercedes | ok, so I'm using webmin to set up a server, and I'm trying to set up sendmail. | 18:37 |
| sridevi | please reply | 18:37 |
| jtravnick | unop__, so true i keep finding more and more resons why I like this over windows | 18:37 |
| os2mac | !sound > os2mac | 18:37 |
| LinuxMercedes | In the outgoing domains option, it says, "Apart from mail sent by local users, sendmail will only perform outgoing address mapping for mail from hosts or domains listed in the text box to the right. Thus for an outgoing address entry to work the domain in the from address must be included in this list." | 18:37 |
| LinuxMercedes | what does this mean? | 18:37 |
| LjL | z1o: well, in that sense perhaps - a bit stretched a definition of "executing". i'm not very sure that's what he means though | 18:37 |
| amenado | CDOG-> and it shows you dont have a rule implemented, so it is open.. | 18:37 |
| bastid_raZor | differentreality; that i'm aware of i don't know. possibly read the man pages for killall and kill | 18:37 |
| turbough | i think i have installed a new system using debootstrap and chroot but how can i be sure it will come up after the reboot? i can't test the sshd server or anything... | 18:37 |

| BloodFeastIsland | oh yeah...is there a windows channel? | 18:38 |

| BloodFeastIsland | hmm | 18:38 |
| K1rb | OMG, SOmeone please download Urban Terror 4.1 and look in the Folder, it is for Ubuntu too, and this is all Unix related. There's a folder that the app uses called zpak000_assets.pk3, the pk3 is a zip with textures and sounds in it, the game uses this .zip by marking it as a Unix Executable. If you decompress this file, and recompress it, it looses the Unix Executable tag (or w/e marks it as a Unix Executable) | 18:38 |
| differentreality | oook thanks anyway :)) | 18:38 |
| BloodFeastIsland | i swear i've looked | 18:38 |
| BloodFeastIsland | thank you three though | 18:38 |
| BloodFeastIsland | lol | 18:38 |
| LjL | K1rb: that's chmod +x. | 18:38 |

| sridevi | plz tell me | 18:39 |
| Starnestommy | sridevi: try asking #pidgin | 18:39 |
| CDOG_ | amenado, so how do i block this or other connections? | 18:39 |
| amenado | bastid_raZor-> but also it says "contains a checksum to prevent the opening and recompression of the file" | 18:39 |
| amenado | CDOG-> before you block, paste the results of lsof -i | 18:40 |
| K1rb | LjL, how do I go about doing that. THis is what I did cd /filelocation, after cd, then I did chmod +x /file and it said it did it, I looked at the file and it was still a .zip but it had a mv. before the name like mv.zpak000_assets.pk3 | 18:40 |

| bastid_raZor | fbc; it isn't putting the executable in your /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin .. and it doesn't automatically.. | 18:47 |

| CDOG_ | amenado, yeah, i cant see the other connection from terminal. but what is -15 1000? and how/ do i kill it? | 18:47 |
| fbc | bastid_raZor, So you would you recommend I do that manualy? | 18:47 |
| amenado | CDOG-> man kill | 18:47 |
| CDOG_ | amenado , i used "man kill -15 1000" and it said it was an invalid option | 18:47 |
| amenado | CDOG do you read what i pasted? | 18:48 |
| amenado | CDOG-> man kill | 18:48 |
| fbc | bastid_raZor, So just copy ffmpeg to /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin ? | 18:48 |
| gaurav_ | unop__: heh, as i thought, overlooked a bios setting, thanks | 18:48 |
| unop__ | :) | 18:49 |
| bastid_raZor | fbc; i use /usr/local/bin for things i add.. if you have ffmpeg in /usr/bin you should replace that one.. or it will not know which to use and more than likely it'll use /usr/bin first | 18:49 |
| amenado | fbc-> look inside your Makefile and see how the install target really installs it.. | 18:49 |
| CDOG_ | amenado, i think i have read everything you have said, on one occasion you said now kill -15 100 | 18:49 |
| amenado | CDOG once more, just man kill | 18:49 |

| Homere | amenado: with SLA, fast and seamless security updates | 18:52 |
| SliMM | could anyone help me with LANs? | 18:52 |
| CDOG_ | amenado, yes its a manual of how to use the kill command, the thing is i dont know what pid to kill unless its 15? | 18:52 |
| amenado | Homere-> sla is negotiated, | 18:52 |
| fbc | bastid_raZor, it installs to /usr/local/bin | 18:52 |
| amenado | CDOG-> read the contents of that man kill | 18:53 |
| amenado | Kyn its possible, you tell the installer to use all of that drive | 18:53 |
| snmpee | Kyn: Unfortunately, your question did not make sense because you are not aware of how linux treats partitions. Your windows partitions (C and D) will be mounted on a directory under root, denoted as a / | 18:54 |
| bastid_raZor | fbc; good, do you have that same filename in /usr/bin/ ? if so it will use that first.. | 18:54 |
| fbc | bastid_raZor, Should I just deleted the ffmpeg ffplay ffserver from /usr/bin ?? and the system will pick it up from /usr/local/bin? | 18:54 |
| CDOG_ | amenado, did that but im lost. Sorry, I dont know what i am supposed to do | 18:54 |

| snmpee | Kyn: If C and D fill up your entire drive, you need to either resize your windows partitions using gparted or Partition Magic (a windows program which I recommend for you because you are a very newbie). | 18:55 |
| snmpee | KyleS-home You will then need to make partitions for ext3 and swap. | 18:55 |
| snmpee | Kyn You will then need to make partitions for ext3 and swap. | 18:55 |
| fbc | bastid_raZor, or would it be better if I copied them from /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin? | 18:55 |
| snmpee | KyleS-home this is better explained if you read the FAQ regarding installing ubuntu. | 18:55 |
| Kyn | Snmpee thank you, Ill try that :) | 18:56 |
| bastid_raZor | fbc; yes.. you could remove it from /usr/bin | 18:56 |

| fbc | bastid_raZor, Doesn't seem to be picking it up from /usr/local/bin | 19:01 |

| ejm | never mind. I found ubuntu's page on wireless NICs on the wiki. | 19:04 |
| bastid_raZor | fbc; odd.. short and simple way to fix it.. mv the newly compiled ffmpeg and the other files to /usr/bin .. with that result from $PATH it should look in /usr/bin and if command isn't found move on to /usr/local/bin .. odd that it isn't. | 19:04 |

| captainm | sstoveld, yes | 20:38 |
| mad_goldfish | danand, I don't think that's the problem. So long as I connect the HDD after the login screen appears, it'll happily work for hours, whether it spins down or not. I have a feeling it's an ordering issue in boot or something, but not quite sure. It's annoying certainly | 20:38 |
| noodlesgc | patrick_ yes | 20:38 |
| danand | poseidon - bit late but /usr/share/backgrounds/ | 20:38 |
| nikrud | Smegzor I always reinstall , and reuse home. I just triple check that I set the partition for not formatted | 20:38 |
| Stroganoff | blizzkid: you could copy the repo of the created iso to usb drive | 20:38 |
| fbc | What do I need to learn to write the equivalent of Batch files(DOS) in ubuntu? I would like to automate some repetative tasks. | 20:38 |
| Adpad | captainm: thanks for the help, checking it now | 20:38 |
| patrick_ | sstoveld, sudo is just authentication, like when terminal says you need "superuser priveleges" | 20:38 |
| captainm | sstoveld, A neat trick is doing sudo !!. That'll repeat te last command with sudo | 20:38 |
| Smegzor | my /home has a complete copy of my old windows pc on it (so I can poke and make fun of it) | 20:38 |
| patrick_ | sorry guys im out | 20:38 |
| nikrud | fbc install abs-guide , you will have a pretty decent advanced bash scripting guide at /usr/share/docs/abs-guide | 20:39 |
| captainm | Smegzor, storage space is cheap ;) | 20:39 |
| noodlesgc | blizzkid what you could do is select all the packages you want in synaptic, then click generate download script. then get wget for windows at sourceforge, and theoretically you could get the script working on windows | 20:39 |
| fbc | nikrud, thnks | 20:39 |
| sstoveld | ok im going to try it again, brb if pc shuts off again | 20:39 |
| mad_goldfish | doesn't even show in lsusb :-( | 20:39 |
| nikrud | Smegzor you shouldn't contaminate your system like that | 20:39 |
| blizzkid | noodlesgc: could you provide me with the download script? I do have wget | 20:40 |
| blizzkid | just don't feel like rebooting 5 times | 20:40 |
| Adpad | is there a way to get a specific line you want to repeat to come up in terminal, by starting it and getting and autocompletion?? | 20:40 |
| blizzkid | ;) | 20:40 |
| nikrud | fbc a typo there: /usr/share/doc/abs-guide | 20:40 |
| danand | mad_goldfish - maybe udev runs before the usb stuff is in place?? You could always sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart :) | 20:40 |
| noodlesgc | blizzkid you have to generate it yourself, of the packages you want | 20:40 |
| blizzkid | noodlesgc: it's build-essential + dependencies | 20:40 |
| tole | how do i get the kde desktop on ubuntu 7? | 20:41 |
| nikrud | Adpad ctl-r , it's a reverse search thru old commands | 20:41 |
| danand | mad_goldfish - v annoying though i agree. Bet you wished you'd gone for a NAS drive now ;P | 20:41 |
| Adpad | thanks | 20:41 |
| === tobias_ is now known as tobias | ||
| noodlesgc | blizzkid, open synaptic and find build-essential, and mark it for installation. then click file->generate download script. | 20:41 |
| Traveler3 | where Can I find more ABOUT spambots? What kind of spambot forges the "from" header making it look like that it came from yourself? | 20:42 |
| sstoveld | captainm, computer shut off again when i tried it, any reason why? | 20:42 |
| blizzkid | noodlesgc: last time I checked, synaptic didn't list build-essential | 20:42 |
| mad_goldfish | I've had the drive for a while, don't think there were many NAS options at the time. Though I see WD now has a WiFi NAS | 20:42 |
| === jpw27 is now known as jpw27_ | ||
| captainm | tole, one easy way is to go to synaptic > edit > mark packages by task > kubuntu kde desktop. | 20:42 |
| nikrud | tole sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , then you can choose it under options->sessions on the login screen | 20:42 |
| rinaldi1 | tole: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 20:43 |
| noodlesgc | blizzkid i have used ubuntu for several years and it has always had build-essential | 20:43 |
| blizzkid | noodlesgc: I swear it wasn't there... must be because I can't use either net nor cd for repo's | 20:43 |
| tole | ok.thanks. | 20:44 |
| Smegzor | which program gives a visual representation of files and dirs on my computer? I want to clear out the fatter unnecessary stuff and it'd be faster if I could see them as fat blobs on my screen. | 20:44 |
| mad_goldfish | It's not a good sign it's taking *this* long to restart udev, surely? | 20:44 |
| noodlesgc | blizzkid of course, you need the package lists | 20:44 |
| nikrud | blizzkid what do you mean? you don't have a cd or net access? | 20:44 |
| captainm | sstoveld, I have no clue. Sorry | 20:44 |
| sstoveld | captainm, ok, thanks | 20:44 |
| sstoveld | ill be back later then, cya guys | 20:44 |
| blizzkid | nikrud: I don't have net access (no drivers) and when I try to use apt-get with cd, it fails to mount the cd | 20:44 |
| memian | smgdor: under accesories there must be disk usage solver or something | 20:44 |
| ethan961 | tole, if you want base kde and no kde apps, do 'sudo aptitude install kde-core' | 20:45 |
| nikrud | blizzkid wow. You made sure that the cd is checked in system->admin->software sources? | 20:45 |
| danand | noodlesgc - sudo apt-get --print-uris --yes install PACKAGE | grep ^\' | awk -F\' '{print $2}' > PACKAGE.txt will also generate a list of packages you need. you can then wget -l PACKAGE.txt to get them. | 20:45 |
| blizzkid | nikrud: the cd is fine, I installed ubuntu from it | 20:45 |
| noodlesgc | danad yes, but you still need the package lists :) | 20:45 |
| _Drax | How normal is it to get lower network speeds with SSL enabled and you use the lowest cipher (56bit) 3-4% cpu usage, and get barely 2MB/s, and if I use the highest cipher aes256 (80% cpu usage) I get around 6MB/s ?!! | 20:45 |
| danand | noodlesgc - think synaptics generates a bash script - no good for windows | 20:46 |
| nikrud | blizzkid not talking about the quality of the cd, but that it is identified as a source | 20:46 |
| cookie | hello | 20:46 |
| danand | noodlesgc - package lists? | 20:46 |
| cookie | which file should I edit for ftp welcome screen | 20:46 |
| cookie | motd is just for ssh welcome screen | 20:46 |
| blizzkid | nikrud: that's exactly the problem, it fails to mount the cd | 20:46 |
| blizzkid | although it IS mounted | 20:46 |
| Smegzor | found one! filelight ^^ | 20:46 |
| noodlesgc | danad when you hit reload or you type sudo apt-get update, apt-get downloads lists of ~23,000 packages. A fresh ubuntu install does not have these lists | 20:47 |
| Scunizi | ouch.. I just discovered that I have two active mounted swap partitions.. If I unmount one will the system hic-up? | 20:47 |
| cookie | hello 22:46:51 <cookie> which file should I edit for ftp welcome screen | 20:48 |
| cookie | 22:46:59 <cookie> motd is just for ssh welcome screen | 20:48 |
| blizzkid | noodlesgc: isn't there a way to import that list from someone else? | 20:48 |
| danand | noodlesgc - gotcha ....think theres a way to update those lists with this method ... wait one | 20:48 |
| captainm | Scunizi, I think the safest method is to boot into a live-cd and remove one swap partition from fstab | 20:49 |
| cookie | hello guys | 20:49 |
| noodlesgc | blizzkid theoretically you could get each list file one-by-one. or you could get them off another ubuntu install. but they are online and, so the computer must have internet access to get them | 20:49 |
| memstat | c0ld : copy the live cd | 20:49 |
| cookie | What file should I edit for ftp welcome message | 20:50 |
| cookie | motd is just for ssh | 20:50 |
| Scunizi | captainm, ok.. thanks.. I had thought of just commenting it out in fstab then rebooting. | 20:50 |
| tole | ethan961, i want it with all the apps. | 20:50 |
| pulpfiction | cookie, .welcome? | 20:50 |
| blizzkid | noodlesgc: and if I mount the iso, is there a way to put that in sources.list? | 20:50 |
| nikrud | Scunizi set swapoff /dev/device , then do the unmount and fstab edit | 20:50 |
| nikrud | Scunizi erm, except for the umount | 20:51 |
| captainm | Scunizi, that's even better ;) Don't know why I didn't think of that | 20:51 |
| cookie | pulpfiction: yes...the message that greets you when you connect to the ftp server | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | nikrud, better! thanks to both of you.. captainm | 20:51 |
| noodlesgc | blizzkid the theoretically yeah, but i dont know how | 20:51 |
| danand | noodlesgc - apt-get --print-uris update. copy unpack and rename the Sources files in /var/lib/apt/lists. | 20:51 |
| senorpedro | hi folks | 20:51 |
| Scunizi | nikrud, of course when done.. swapon? /dev/device? | 20:52 |
| nikrud | Scunizi if you want that one back, yes. | 20:52 |
| noodlesgc | danand yes that works, but you still need internet | 20:52 |
| izzy_ | 20:52 | |
| Scunizi | nikrud, thanks | 20:52 |
| senorpedro | one question: in my logout menu i have neither a shutdown nor a reboot entry, only hibernate and sleep mode. how can i make the shutdown and also the reboot entry appear?? | 20:52 |
| danand | noodlesgc - yes. You'll need to run wget on a machine with internet access :) | 20:53 |

| senorpedro | in fact, i'm running kubuntu with ubuntu-desktop separately installed | 20:58 |

| cyclonut | azexian, that is a relief - I dropped massively. do you think a new wine will fix it, or will we need another patch from WoW? | 21:01 |
| El1 | ok fourth | 21:01 |
| memian | madman91: you can define a loop back device, like one file holding all file tree | 21:01 |
| g0th | mdaman91: truecrypt allows a hidden filesystem eg | 21:01 |
| El1 | thx for the info | 21:01 |
| fourthdimension | no problem | 21:01 |
| captainm | googlah, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ is the right link | 21:01 |
| madman91 | g0th: yeah, if truecrypt does it, can i? | 21:01 |
| madman91 | memian: ? | 21:01 |
| azexian | cyclonut: I played it with both cedega and wine back in the day, and found wine to be the better one, do you mean your framerate has dropped? | 21:01 |
| g0th | well there are other projects | 21:01 |
| madman91 | brb | 21:01 |
| g0th | but why not simply create a file and mount it loopback? | 21:02 |
| pulpfiction | is there any better gui tool to test regexp than "visual regexp"? | 21:02 |
| cyclonut | azexian, aye, framerate took a 20% hit from the last patch they just released | 21:02 |
| pulpfiction | nothing wrong with it, just wondering if there's anything newer | 21:02 |
| googlah | captainm: thanks, but i was looking for hardy. 8) | 21:02 |
| fourthdimension | lol | 21:02 |
| fourthdimension | it's right on the homepage | 21:02 |
| memian | madman91: you can make a file, say disk.ext2 on ext3 filesystem. and mount disk.ext2 as another dirctory. | 21:03 |
| captainm | googlah, whoops, haven't read the site | 21:03 |
| azexian | cyclonut: that's unfortunate, have you tweaked it at all? I found that playing with things such as video settings (using the add-on to allow you to do this without scrash) I could get a fair framerate | 21:03 |
| googlah | lol, i thought it was a banner fourthdimension. :) | 21:03 |
| cyclonut | azexian, granted, 20% on my machine is only about 5fps. It changes the gameplay from tolerable to torturous | 21:03 |
| fourthdimension | :) | 21:03 |
| Itaku | how do i symlink | 21:03 |
| madman91 | memian: but can i filesystem it? | 21:03 |
| cyclonut | azexian, I'll look for that add-on. However, with this new patch (and latest wine) you can adjust things without crashes :) | 21:03 |
| azexian | cyclonut: well there is a lot of tweaks you can do to make that go up, or it could be the last patch just reset your video settings? | 21:03 |
| cyclonut | azexian, in-game settings are the same. Perhaps my custom settings in config.wtf got nuked | 21:04 |

| HopsNBarley | can anybody help me get rid of the prompt for netcfg/get_hostname in a 7.10 install? i've even got partitioning working with preseed, but can't get rid of this! | 21:12 |
| Peter- | Hi, Could someone help me with urban terror? | 21:12 |
| captainm | deagle, Try creating a boot partition at the beginning of the disk. | 21:13 |
| un0p | jhoward, see this -- http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1021/1154642079_bc465355bb.jpg | 21:13 |
| captainm | deagle, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/grub-error-18-cannot-install-linux-after-vista-had-been-installed-626344/ | 21:13 |
| oxigen | is Ubuntu Brainstorm available for download like is MediaWiki? | 21:13 |
| jhoward | un0p: ok | 21:13 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> does it not just time out anyways? | 21:13 |
| poseidon | How do I edit the appearance of the menus, etc? I don't want everything to be brownish orange, I prefer more of a blue. Is there a way I can do this? | 21:13 |
| un0p | oxigen, i wonder why you'd want an offline collection of that? | 21:14 |
| oxigen | un0p: for a different project | 21:14 |
| deagle | captainm: but i had grub setup (hd0,0) | 21:14 |
| j85wilson | Ok, so I wanted some packages that are available in Sid, but not in ubuntu. I added the sid repos to my sources.list, and installed the packages and their dependencies. I no longer want them. Having removed the sid repos, is there an easy way to revert all installed packages to the latest version available from the ubuntu repos, and remove those that are not available at all? | 21:14 |
| captainm | poseidon, system > appearance and www.gnome-look.org | 21:14 |
| danand | poseidon - System -> Preferences -> Appearances - then themes tab | 21:14 |
| deagle | captainm: that when it used to give me error 17, now after moving the linux partition to hd0 instead of hd1 is when i get error 18 :S | 21:15 |
| Xang | poseidon: System->Preferences-.Appearances. | 21:15 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, i haven't waited very long (-; what timeout should i expect? | 21:15 |
| un0p | oxigen, hmm, not really sure | 21:15 |
| Malik_ | my ubuntu installation keeps freezing | 21:15 |
| Peter- | No-one cant help me on Urban Terror problem? | 21:15 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> on a regular stock install, umm about 10 mins | 21:15 |
| captainm | deagle, hd0 is bigger then than hd1 isn't it? | 21:15 |
| tomytvout | hi all i am tryin to have picture from pc to tv i am readin google but i can not get it to work any help | 21:15 |
| deagle | captainm: both 250gb | 21:16 |
| Leechzilla | I type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start but nothing happens. It just takes me to the next prompt without doing anything | 21:16 |
| un0p | j85wilson, that was a really stupid thing to do -- there is no easy way out of this but to reinstall | 21:16 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, ouch. | 21:16 |
| artenius2 | I had to reboot earlier after a 7days up and now when I boot into ubuntu my resolution is horrible (640X350) and it won't let me change it. Any ideas what caused this or how I can fix it? | 21:16 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> how about also trying netcfg/disable_dhcp=true ? | 21:16 |
| AnthraxDream | How I get sound? | 21:16 |
| amenado | then you use a static ip address | 21:16 |
| deagle | captainm: xp in hda1 (now apparently lost after trying to install again on a different partition) | 21:16 |
| fourthdimension | malik, did you get your problem fixed? | 21:17 |
| j85wilson | un0p: I doubt that... if nothing else, I can write a script to go over all the packages, check for the current available version, and compare it to the installed version, and take appropriate action. I just wanted to know if apt could do this automagically. | 21:17 |
| captainm | deagle, error 18 means that the BIOS is unable to start executing the kernel because the kernel is not located within the block it can access at boot up time. | 21:17 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, i'm setting up an install network where we will want to do several boxes at once. | 21:17 |
| Xang | artenius2: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 21:17 |
| neopsyche | when a guide tells me to 'uncomment' a line .. does that mean remove the HASH symbol? | 21:17 |
| tomytvout | hi all i am tryin to have picture from pc to tv i am readin google but i can not get it to work any help | 21:17 |
| un0p | j85wilson, ubuntu is not debian and the inverse is also true -- you could try reinstalling all the installed packages with something like this -- sudo apt-get install --reinstall $(dpkg -l | cut -c 3-30) | 21:18 |
| captainm | deagle, so making a boot partition at the beginning of the disk is the best option. | 21:18 |
| kesi | hi all, silly question but it's driving me nuts. I am working with an external drive and in the terminal window everything is highlighted in bright green so I can barely read it. Any way to turn this off? | 21:18 |
| FreeNod1 | hi is there an ubuntu server channel? | 21:18 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> okay, and what issues are you having? | 21:18 |
| deagle | captainm: which would mean data loss? :( which tool is it for recreating partitions without losing data that i can run off of live cd? | 21:18 |
| deagle | captainm: it's been a while since i used linux :( | 21:18 |
| Xang | kesi: What terminal are you using? | 21:19 |
| amenado | FreeNod1-> what issues are coming across? | 21:19 |
| gumpish | gparted can resize some kinds of partitions... | 21:19 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, I can't get rid of the "configure the network" -> "please enter the hostname for this system" dialog box. | 21:19 |
| propdude2000 | deagle: that tool would be gparted. it runs off a live cd | 21:19 |
| un0p | j85wilson, and don't count on the version numbers to ascertain whether they belong to ubuntu or debian -- you can have a package with the same version in both but the contents could be different | 21:19 |
| deagle | captainm: or better yet, how can i burn a cd from within live cd? | 21:19 |
| artenius2 | Xang, any idea what would cause this? | 21:19 |
| Leechzilla | I type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start but nothing happens. It just takes me to the next prompt without doing anything | 21:19 |
| kesi | Xang, I think it's the default Gnome Terminal prog | 21:19 |
| AnthraxDream | HOW FOR TO GET SOUND?! | 21:19 |
| AnthraxDream | Sorry caps lock | 21:19 |
| === GupsAFK is now known as Gupp | ||
| tomytvout | hi all i am tryin to have picture from pc to tv i am readin google but i can not get it to work any help | 21:19 |
| kesi | Xang, but I can't find any setting under appearance or prefs to turn this off | 21:19 |
| Xang | kesi: You could always try and export a different term type. | 21:20 |
| Xang | kesi: export TERM=vt100 | 21:20 |
| captainm | deagle, do you have two cd drives? | 21:20 |
| deagle | lol | 21:20 |
| tripps | ok since last reboot, my sd card on my shittle no longer works. could someone help me diagnose? | 21:20 |
| terminal | when i open windows partition in ubuntu i got error d folder content coulldnot b displayed | 21:20 |
| Gupp | hrm i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10 jeos that i cant enable eth0 for some weird reason | 21:20 |
| tripps | s/shit/shut ;) | 21:20 |
| captainm | deagle, you could maka a bootable flashdrive and burn a cd from that | 21:20 |
| bastid_raZor | !sound > AnthraxDream | 21:20 |
| deagle | captainm: that's what i was thinking of. installing the spare cd burner i have | 21:20 |
| kesi | Xang, I may be dumb, but that didn't do anything.. was there more I needed to do? | 21:20 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> i have not done a major rollout like yours, but i would think the oem-install script has those configuration for setting a temp hostname and modifiable upon user logging on? | 21:21 |
| terminal | when i open windows partition in ubuntu i got error d folder content coulldnot b displayed | 21:21 |
| Xang | kesi: Now try whatever command you were using..ex. ls, | 21:21 |
| j85wilson | un0p: since it is only a few packages, I'm not nearly as worried as you seem to be... | 21:21 |
| kesi | Xang, same thing | 21:21 |
| deagle | captainm: tell me something, does the new 8.04b installer lose data when adjusting withing the free space of a partition? | 21:21 |
| yeonhoo_ | how can I treat ESC key ?? i want to press ESC key and print ESC key in DEC form | 21:21 |
| terminal | when i open windows partition in ubuntu i got error d folder content coulldnot b displayed | 21:21 |
| Lokii- | terminal, your not using samba i hope ? | 21:21 |
| j85wilson | I'm nearly certain that all the version numbers did change, and nothing I upgraded to sid packages is essential stuff | 21:21 |
| Lokii- | samba == the suck | 21:22 |
| deagle | captainm: the second install i did seems to have corrupted my C drive (ntfs) when i resized it to fit ext3 within its free space | 21:22 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, i'm attempting this through a preseed file. | 21:22 |
| terminal | lokii, r u mean samba is not working | 21:22 |
| kesi | Xang, it's true on my windwos partition as well if that helps | 21:22 |
| Lokii- | i mean samba has a son | 21:22 |
| yeonhoo_ | how can I treat ESC key ?? i want to press ESC key and print ESC key in DEC form. but its not working. when I press ESC key, system does not recognize as valid key i think | 21:22 |
| FreeNod1 | hi anybody tried a remote desktop | 21:22 |
| un0p | j85wilson, i'm not worried -- you should be, if you should have any troubles from here on, it's going to be a tough life troubleshooting them -- and the official verdict is that support ceases to exist once you have done something like that | 21:22 |
| Lokii- | and its much better | 21:22 |
| FreeNod1 | ???? | 21:22 |
| yeonhoo_ | what I have to do? | 21:22 |
| HopsNBarley | there is tons of documentation on how to do this, it is just not working - only the hostname - for me. | 21:22 |
| un0p | !debian | j85wilson | 21:23 |
| ubotu | j85wilson: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! | 21:23 |
| Gupp | hrm i have a problem with ubuntu 7.10 jeos that i cant enable eth0 for some weird reason | 21:23 |
| FreeNod1 | FreeNod1 :( | 21:23 |
| captainm | deagle, dataloss shouldn't happen. You can make a seperate boot partition without data-loss | 21:23 |
| captainm | deagle, there are some good tutorials around. | 21:23 |
| terminal | lokii, solution plzzzzz | 21:23 |
| FreeNod1 | darksky0 lol | 21:23 |
| j85wilson | thanks, un0p. I know this. Once again, nothing essential was touched, only a few packages, some rather esoteric programs and their supporting libraries. | 21:23 |
| Lokii- | freenod1 you mean using rdp protocal to control a linux desktop in the same manner that you would a windows serve r? | 21:24 |
| terminal | lokii, solution plzzzzz | 21:24 |
| FreeNod1 | Lokii-: yes!! :D | 21:24 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname | 21:24 |
| amenado | and d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain dont work for you? | 21:24 |
| Lokii- | terminal i read it the first time please be patient | 21:24 |

| guestbuntu55 | Hi | 21:37 |
| guestbuntu55 | Can someone hlep me? | 21:37 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, url=http://blah | 21:37 |
| gregbrady | deagle, nothing as easy as DVD Shrink? | 21:37 |
| captainm | Gupp, ifconfig <interface> hw <class> <address> | 21:37 |
| artenius2 | loki, mine has been flawless for the last 2 weeks, now it's broke | 21:37 |
| istredd | norty: in preferences you have property drivers manager (or something, I have polish version) | 21:37 |
| yowshi | i have done the fdisk -l and the sudo gedit and i am ready to edit the fstab | 21:37 |
| hischild | Lokii-, that also depends on the rest of the hardware and there also seems a random factor involved as my hardware seems to be inconsistently being recognized between installs. | 21:37 |
| istredd | and there is nvidia driver unchecked | 21:37 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> you have added priority=critical ? | 21:38 |
| Gupp | captainm i did changed it and rebooted but it keeps saing no such device | 21:38 |
| Leechzilla | I type sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start but nothing happens. It just takes me to the next prompt without doing anything | 21:38 |
| yowshi | amenado: but i have no idea what to add. it seems to be talking about vfat in this part or something and i dont have vfat i need ntfs info | 21:38 |
| Lokii- | hischild sounds like you might have a faulty connection or failing trace on your mobo you might wanna have it cxhewcked or buy a new one as there dirt cheap anyways | 21:38 |
| istredd | just check it and if you have drivers downloaded it will start using it,if not, aptitude will install it for you | 21:38 |
| guestbuntu55 | Where can I find a driver for an ATi RV370 [radeon X300] | 21:38 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, sounds interesting - where does this go? at the end of the d-i line for get_hostname? | 21:38 |
| hischild | Lokii-, my hardware is just fine, thank you | 21:38 |
| un0p | Leechzilla, it means all is good -- continue on to the next step | 21:38 |
| Gupp | in the config file i set auto lo eth0 and iface inet static | 21:38 |
| Lokii- | LoL don't get testy | 21:38 |
| amenado | yowshi-> lets step back..can you do this manually? and not through /etc/fstab ? | 21:38 |
| beex | can I have beagle/tracker search within one folder, recursively? | 21:38 |
| amenado | HopsNBarley-> on same kernel command line | 21:39 |
| Leechzilla | un0p: what next step? | 21:39 |
| mrpockets | so i updated something for the Screenlette apps | 21:39 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, okay, lemme try that. thanks for the suggestion!!! | 21:39 |
| mrpockets | and now i've got two icons in the sys tray | 21:39 |
| yowshi | amenado: yeah i can do it manually. mount /dev/drive /where/iwantit | 21:39 |
| un0p | Leechzilla, i dunno, whatever it is you need to do after starting apache | 21:39 |
| captainm | Gupp, as far as I know that should do it. I don't know where the problem is. | 21:39 |
| guestbuntu55 | I get a error message when trying to enable desktop effects saying: Desktop Effects can not be enabled. | 21:39 |
| mrpockets | and i cant close one without closing both, but they're the same thing.. | 21:39 |
| Leechzilla | un0p: It's not starting, is what I'm saying | 21:39 |
| beex | whenever I use the search funcion in nautiuls is searches *everything*, not the files in that folder | 21:39 |
| beex | it there a way to make it act differently? | 21:39 |
| amenado | yowshi-> now i want you think for now, everything that is done automatically can be done manually.. so the steps you have performed manually should translate to an automated task | 21:40 |
| un0p | Leechzilla, sudo /etc/init.c/apache2 restart | 21:40 |
| * Lokii- used a pen and paper to remeber wherte things are LoL | 21:40 | |
| ritalin | y0 i installed kde4 on ubuntu yet i dont see a session for it in gdm. how can you add that to GDM? | 21:40 |
| Leechzilla | un0p: It doesn't do anything | 21:40 |
| un0p | Leechzilla, does it even say anything? | 21:40 |
| amenado | yowshi-> what was the first thing you've done before even knowing to mount the specific partition? | 21:40 |
| Leechzilla | un0p: Nope | 21:40 |
| un0p | Leechzilla, is apache even installed?? I really wonder | 21:40 |
| yowshi | amenado: yeah but when i look in fstab none of the present entries look like my mount command. they all have other stuff added to them | 21:40 |
| guestbuntu55 | I get a error message when trying to enable desktop effects saying: Desktop Effects can not be enabled. Im on Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty Gibbon. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon X300 (RV730) | 21:40 |
| hischild | ritalin, if you click on sessions on the left down menu you can select kde. | 21:40 |
| Leechzilla | un0p? Yeah it's installed | 21:41 |
| ritalin | it isnt there | 21:41 |
| ritalin | installed kde4 base | 21:41 |
| ron | with the new dual core cpu's should i install the 64 bit version of ubuntu ? | 21:41 |
| Sexy_Girl | Hi | 21:41 |
| amenado | yowshi-> well if you have read the man pages for fstab or mount, it would have given you a clue | 21:41 |
| BobTheBruin | I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a gutsy machine that now will not boot up. I get the error message "Starting up... [1.080000] Kernel panic - not syncing: VPS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) | 21:41 |

| un0p | Leechzilla, that's not normal, if i were you, i would reinstall apache -- sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 | 21:41 |
| hischild | ron, do you have more then 4gb of ram or have a specific need for 64bit programs? if that's so, then use 64bit. Else use the 32bit | 21:41 |
| Leechzilla | un0p: I did that too, still no luck | 21:41 |
| bastid_raZor | ron if you have 64 bit processors | 21:42 |
| ron | cool thanks | 21:42 |
| yowshi | amenado: i looked at the man pages for mount it was totally confusing i know none of the terms used in it and it left me dumber then before i had read them | 21:42 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 21:42 |
| un0p | Leechzilla, have you tried browsing to http://localhost ? | 21:42 |
| magnetron | just ask, tomytvout, if anyone knows the answer they will answer | 21:42 |

| hischild | yowshi, he meant if the install you're on is in japanese .. if it's an english install you can use man fstab to read an english manual. | 21:47 |

| XORAND | hi all. I installed ubuntu 7.10 and tried to connect to the internet with the vodafone-card-wireless-driver.run file (14Mb). I loaded the RSA vodafone defaults. The program runs with my e620 recognized and connects to Vodacom. I tried to surf with firefox, but firefox says i'm not connected :( Even though the light on my modem shines constant blue and the program says I'm connected. How... | 21:47 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, there are a lot of htings that are just a reboot. Did you install/remove any packages? | 21:47 |
| XORAND | ...do I get firefox to see that I'm connected? | 21:47 |
| yowshi | hischild: no i was making a point that amenado seems to be telling me to go read the man pages until i understand the terms in it. even though i dont understand the terms in the man pages | 21:47 |
| RabidWeezle | looks to be it's "for f in *.zip; do unzip "$f"; done" | 21:47 |
| amenado | yowshi well its hard to get to your thick head, am suggesting there are other ways, like books on linux? google ? tutorials..they provide ample explanations | 21:47 |
| BobTheBruin | I am not the only one who uses it, but I am guessing it was after an update | 21:47 |

| Kadotus | garferi, with the new card? It didn't work out at all before i installed fglrx. Old videocard was integrated Via unichrome (which sucked) | 21:48 |
| hischild | yowshi, if you ask us what the terms mean we can explain them. However we can't hold your hand and do it every step by the way. | 21:48 |

| ubotu | Piero_Scaruffi: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 21:51 |

| Xteven | Piero_Scaruffi: mount -o loop /some/iso/image.iso /mnt/destination | 21:51 |
| pike_ | zeptit: ubuntu is based on debian. what youll find is that its at its strongest in handing packages/apps much better than even windows. there is a add/remove program app that automatically removes or uninstalls whatever you want from a central reposistory no hunting no manual installs or uninstalls | 21:51 |

| garferi | Kadotus, I think you nedd to install the xdl driver with this command: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl | 21:53 |
| unop_ | Leechzilla, what happens when you try and start apache via apache2ctl ? | 21:53 |
| pike_ | tomytvout: you using a regular old tv or an hdtv? 720p or 1080 or what? | 21:53 |
| amenado | hischild-> btw , i did offer same, if he gets stuck id assist, but without trying, its difficult to get the feel what the system response is | 21:53 |
| tomytvout | old tv | 21:53 |
| Leechzilla | unop_; uh, how do I do that? | 21:53 |
| guestbuntu55 | Flare183: where is the "repo" | 21:53 |
| Lokii- | bastid_raZor, heh yeah well this isn't microsoft ifs a free community and the tech support is even free unlike ms where you get 1 free phoner call and they change you after that | 21:54 |
| Flare183 | guestbuntu55: you know apt-get or synaptic | 21:54 |
| sstoveld | hey guys, im having a problem here, when i try to use terminal or synaptic to install anything, i get an error saying "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.", but when i run this command in a terminal, my pc shuts off and wont power back on unless i unplug it for 5 seconds and plug it back in, anyone know whats wrong? | 21:54 |
| Michael | Can any body pay me attention please??? | 21:54 |
| unop_ | Leechzilla, sudo apache2ctl start (i think) | 21:54 |
| guestbuntu55 | oh | 21:54 |
| Flare183 | !ot > Lokii- | 21:54 |
| unop_ | Leechzilla, sudo apache2ctl restart (is better) | 21:54 |
| tomytvout | i have one black cable pluged into pc then that cable into a scart and there are two other cables one red and one white , i hear sound but the picture on tv is blue | 21:54 |

| guestbuntu55 | Flare183: if I do Apt-get, what would I type? | 21:54 |
| amenado | BobTheBruin-> typically menu.lst is symlinked to grub.conf | 21:54 |
| Flare183 | !adeptcrash | 21:54 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 21:54 |
| Flare183 | !adeptcrash > sstoveld | 21:55 |
| Leechzilla | unop_: Hmm, it works now. But I gotta do this everytime I start the system? | 21:55 |
| Dr_willis | tomytvout, be sure you dont have a audio cable going into a RCA video in, in addation to the Svideo In.. that can cause issues.. | 21:55 |
| Flare183 | guestbuntu55: what are you trying to install? | 21:55 |
| BobTheBruin | can I take the menu.lst file from my ubuntu laptop or would it be completely different? | 21:55 |
| Michael | I need some help please | 21:55 |
| Michael | ?? | 21:55 |

| guestbuntu55 | A driver for An ATI RV370 [Radeon X300SE] | 21:55 |
| richard | How do I get the panel at the bottom of the screen to reappear? | 21:55 |
| Dr_willis | BobTheBruin, It will be different. but you can use it as a basis for making the new one. | 21:55 |
| sstoveld | Flare183, thanks, i will try it now | 21:55 |
| Flare183 | !patience | Michael | 21:55 |
| ubotu | Michael: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 21:55 |
| tomytvout | no the cables are plugged in as they have to be | 21:55 |
| Flare183 | sstoveld: ok | 21:56 |
| guestbuntu55 | Flare183: A driver for An ATI RV370 [Radeon X300SE] | 21:56 |
| amenado | Flare183-> seems a missing step there? once fuser finds out the process using the lock, dont he need to kill it or remove the lock? | 21:56 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, it'd be most usefull if you chroot into your enviroment of a rescue disc and then grub-update or update-grub ... whichever is the one | 21:56 |
| captainm | BobTheBruin, Could you boot into the rescue cd and pastebin menu.lst/ grub.conf? | 21:56 |
| Michael | E: jde: el subproceso post-installation script devolvió el código de salida de error 1 why is happening to me with Ubuntu | 21:56 |
| Flare183 | amenado: i think so | 21:56 |
| BobTheBruin | is rescue the same as the live cd? | 21:56 |
| Dr_willis | tomytvout, try removing the rca cables and double check. If just the svideo is funny colored.. You might have a pin bent/broke, or a bad cable or other issues HW wise. | 21:56 |
| * Flare183 yells in the flood of questions | 21:56 | |
| Lokii- | Micheal ask your question don't just ask for help[ if someone knows the answer they will pipe up if not then there obviously not gonna bother in most casres | 21:56 |
| unop_ | Leechzilla, I really suspect that your /etc/init.d/apache* file is corrupt -- you might like to purge and reinstall that package -- sudo sh -c "aptitude purge $(dpkg -l | grep -i apache | cut -c 3-30); aptitude install apache2" | 21:56 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat menu.lst | pastebinit (Please provice link in channel) | 21:56 |
| Flare183 | guestbuntu55: one sec | 21:56 |
| guestbuntu55 | kk | 21:56 |
| amenado | Flare183-> yeah, so somehow correct that ubutu paste, add a removal of lock | 21:57 |
| Flare183 | ok | 21:57 |
| Flare183 | brb | 21:57 |
| Jaymac | Michael: try typing sudo apt-get install -f | 21:57 |
| BobTheBruin | where do I run that from hischild, the livecd? | 21:57 |
| tomytvout | no dr_willis the issuses is my nvidia settings i dunno how to configure it from there | 21:57 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, here goes.... | 21:57 |
| sstoveld | Flare183, thanks, worked like a charm, will i have to do this again or should this be fixed for now? | 21:57 |
| richard | I've got Ubuntu on my laptop. I can't seem to get the panel at the bottom to reappear. How do I get it to start up?Thnx | 21:57 |
| * amenado crosses fingers for HopsNBarley | 21:57 | |
| Dr_willis | tomytvout, theres the nvidia control panel tools. try 'nvid<tab>' in the terminal to see what you have installed. | 21:57 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, correct, from inside the chrooted enviroment. If you come back here once you are in the live cd we'll help you through. | 21:57 |
| BobTheBruin | I am in | 21:58 |
| BobTheBruin | type that line in? | 21:58 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, ok. then you execute the follwoing command: | 21:58 |
| hischild | sudo aptitude install pastebinit && cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | pastebinit (Please provice link in channel) | 21:58 |
| Flare183 | sstoveld: fix from now on unless dpkg crashes again | 21:58 |

| Flare183 | ompaul: soo many questions | 21:59 |
| Dr_willis | tomytvout, to enale my tv OUT for my nvidia cards, there was often a few little things i had to do dependign on which card. On one machine. I had to be sure to have the tv conected when i booted up. OR you can enable twinview and enable the clone output option, Or you could use twinview and use the tv as a 2nd monitor. | 21:59 |
| HopsNBarley | amenado, i google the crap out of this and found nothing -where were you looking? | 21:59 |
| unop__ | Leechzilla, let's try that command again albeit a little differently .. | 21:59 |
| Lokii- | wow i think my eyes are too sore for this atm | 21:59 |
| Lokii- | bbl all | 21:59 |

| captainm | BobTheBruin, have you chrooted in your environment already? | 22:00 |
| Flare183 | guestbuntu55: umm ok goto ati.com and find the driver that is on that site | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | tomytvout, if the tv is just showing blue - thats because its getting no video signal, its showing a blank screen instead of a staticy screen. :) | 22:00 |
| guestbuntu55 | I tried. I couldn't find it. | 22:00 |
| Dr_willis | !tvout | 22:00 |

| HopsNBarley | amenado, if you ever need help with embedded linux - drop me a line over in #oe (-; | 22:12 |
| hischild | captainm, alright. From what i can remember, it'll help if he exits the chroot env, and then executes --> mount -t proc none /media/disk/proc && mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev | 22:12 |
| BobTheBruin | thanks for the help captainm, | 22:12 |
| Svenstaro | hischild, thing is ive eaten cereals with milk :( | 22:13 |

| captainm | BobTheBruin, hischild Good luck! | 22:13 |
| hischild | Svenstaro, warm milk or cold? warm relieves pain. | 22:13 |
| Lokii- | you could try running moosfv under wine | 22:13 |

| Lokii- | might work | 22:13 |
| neopsyche | in this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/install-samba-server-on-ubuntu/ does uncomment mean remove the ; ??? or the # ?? | 22:13 |

| artenius2 | I've switched monitors and everything was fine until I rebooted, I managed to get the resolution mostly sorted but some things still don't work, when I open a terminal, it's just a white window. How can I re-autodetect my settings so ubuntu recognizes this monitor and things get back to normal? | 22:13 |
| Svenstaro | kindofabuzz_, sstoveld's ones? | 22:13 |
| artenius2 | neopsyche: the #'s | 22:13 |
| kindofabuzz_ | sstoveld: well i guess i can ask you, how'd the install go? | 22:14 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, you'll have to exit your chroot env by typing exit. Then you will have to mount 2 things for me. Your ubuntu install is mounted at /media/disk? | 22:14 |
| Svenstaro | hischild, cold mild im afraid :( | 22:14 |
| hischild | Svenstaro, drink half a glass of warm milk with sugar. You'll feel better | 22:14 |
| BobTheBruin | yeah | 22:14 |
| Slart | JJ1: hmm.. didn't find anything but terminal based apps.. at least not in the repos.. perhaps there is something else out there | 22:14 |
| BobTheBruin | hischild: yeah | 22:14 |
| kindofabuzz_ | Svenstaro: yeah ssto's | 22:14 |
| evilgnome | hello all. firstly, is aptitude supposed to support color output for command-line use (because it's all plain for me)? and secondly, is there a way to stop aptitude output from cutting lines off when they're "too long"? | 22:15 |
| JJ1 | Slart - yeah... well im going to continue searching for it then ^_^ thanks | 22:15 |
| hischild | BobTheBruin, alright. Then type the following: mount -t proc none /media/disk/proc && mount -o bind /dev /media/disk/dev | 22:15 |

| Malik_ | and then i donot know wat happ. everytime i turned i on i got a black screen | 22:37 |
| nextstep | svenstaro: this is what i mean Bit Rate=1 Mb/s | 22:37 |
| hischild | b0x, try adding nicknames to whoever you're talking to. It makes things a lot easier to read. | 22:37 |
| Malik_ | and now iam not even able to install it | 22:38 |
| Malik_ | either it freezes | 22:38 |
| dn4ia | Does anyone know of a good video editor in linux that does visuals and audio effects? | 22:38 |
| hischild | dn4ia, if you're up for some compiling, you can try to use lives. | 22:38 |
| Malik_ | or when it runs it takes me to a black screen | 22:38 |
| dn4ia | !lives | 22:38 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lives - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:38 |
| snmpee | (lives sucks) | 22:38 |
| snmpee | sorry to break it to you | 22:38 |
| Kadotus | Hmm, let's put it this way: How do I install correct drivers for My new ATI Raden 9200 [RV280] ? :D | 22:38 |
| sorsis | how to mount .iso as drive without burning it to disk? | 22:39 |
| Jaffarkelshac | so nautilus is to explorer, what about X or Xserver | 22:39 |
| hischild | sorsis, mount -o loop /isofile.iso /media/mount/location | 22:39 |
| propdude2000 | !isomount | 22:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about isomount - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:39 |
| dn4ia | hischild, it has sunburst on it | 22:39 |
| dn4ia | works for me | 22:39 |
| snmpee | that's like saying that GIMP is as good as photoshop. it simply is not true. | 22:39 |
| Lokii- | soris | 22:39 |
| Lokii- | theres a package fireiso or something like that | 22:40 |
| hischild | snmpee, i've heard good stories about it so far. Seen some very impressive vids from it. Also appears to be quite powerfull. | 22:40 |
| Elevator_Hazard | How do I get wakeonlan actually working? I have On LAN turned on in my bios and I've done the automatic thing at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234588 but it still doesn't work. | 22:40 |
| pike_ | Kadotus: youll want the opensource drivers for the 9200 not the binary | 22:40 |
| Flare183 | I'm back everybody | 22:40 |
| unop | Jaffarkelshac, but nautilus, X and Xserver are all *nix terms, it's hard to find logic with that question, if you know what i mean :) | 22:40 |
| Kadotus | pike_: How do I do that? | 22:40 |
| snmpee | hischild sorry man, it's just not as good as Vegas | 22:40 |
| pike_ | !ati | Kadotus may help | 22:40 |
| ubotu | Kadotus may help: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:40 |
| pike_ | Kadotus: ive never had an ati card myself | 22:40 |
| hischild | snmpee, vegas is a professional tool, developed for commercial use. Lives is an opensource program. Can you really expect it to be the same? | 22:41 |
| Lokii- | and my last ati card was back when the 9800 pro's were out and it did not like linux | 22:41 |
| snmpee | hischild that's why i'm more interested in WINE development so i can use these apps on a stable os | 22:41 |
| Lokii- | at all | 22:41 |
| hischild | snmpee, also, different does not mean better. | 22:41 |
| Malik_ | can sany1 hep me! | 22:41 |
| Malik_ | help* | 22:41 |
| Jaffarkelshac | unop am new to ubuntu just trying to understand. i asked someone what nautilus was and said it was like explorer | 22:41 |
| Lokii- | only distro i could boot was mandrake | 22:41 |
| hischild | Jaffarkelshac, that is correct. | 22:41 |
| hischild | Malik_, have you tried to boot from a cd? | 22:41 |
| unop | Jaffarkelshac, yes, it is like explorer in the way it browses directories, lists files, etc | 22:41 |
| Malik_ | boot from cd? | 22:42 |
| Malik_ | wat do u mean | 22:42 |
| hischild | Malik_, yes. Where did you install ubuntu from? | 22:42 |
| Lokii- | grab the livecd and boot from that | 22:42 |
| Malik_ | cd | 22:42 |
| Malik_ | i tried live cd and the other 1 | 22:42 |
| snmpee | Malik_: the CD you used to install with will boot to a desktop that you can use to access your system | 22:42 |
| Lokii- | ok bye bye for a bit | 22:42 |
| artenius2 | something still isn't right, no windows have titlebars, and the terminal is stilla blank white window when I open it. | 22:43 |
| Malik_ | i know thats the live cd but its not botting | 22:43 |
| Lokii- | artenius | 22:43 |
| unop | cdleary, i think the command you want is -- gdmflexichooser | 22:43 |
| nextstep | artenius2: are you using beryl ? | 22:43 |
| Malik_ | it runs but when the loading screen for ubuntu is there it freezes | 22:43 |
| artenius2 | nextstep: compiz | 22:43 |
| Lokii- | do "sudo metacity --replace&" | 22:43 |
| Malik_ | or it gets a black screen after it with all this stuff | 22:43 |
| hischild | Malik_, are you sure it is loading the cd and not the installed one? | 22:43 |
| LDS_Trooper | greets | 22:44 |
| nextstep | artenius2: that is a known bug ... when you switch back to metacity does it still happen ? sudo metacity --replace | 22:44 |
| Malik_ | yes...the installed one is gone i formatted | 22:44 |
| artenius2 | Lokii-: where do I put that since the terminal window is blank/white | 22:44 |
| hischild | artenius, hit alt+f2 | 22:44 |
| LDS_Trooper | is there anyway to retrieve something from the trash after it has bee emptied??? | 22:44 |
| Lokii- | artenius what he said | 22:44 |
| Lokii- | LoL | 22:44 |
| hischild | Lokii-, sorry, just trying to help out :p | 22:44 |
| nextstep | LDS_Trooper: pretty much no way to uninstall in linux on ext3 | 22:44 |
| SilverDawn | Hey | 22:44 |
| artenius2 | now things look right | 22:44 |
| Slart | LDS_Trooper: not really.. there is an undelete utility for ext2.. | 22:44 |
| nextstep | undelete i mean | 22:45 |
| Lokii- | np i wanna go get soimething to eat | 22:45 |
| artenius2 | how can I keep it like this? | 22:45 |
| pike_ | !recover | LDS_Trooper | 22:45 |
| sstoveld | does anyone know if irfanview is compatible with linux | 22:45 |
| ubotu | LDS_Trooper: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Remember that it's tricky to recover deleted files from your journalled !filesystem, and you should keep !backups of important data. | 22:45 |
| Lokii- | be my guest | 22:45 |
| sstoveld | ? | 22:45 |
| Slart | LDS_Trooper: but I'm guessing you're using ext3.. so.. nope.. it's gone.. | 22:45 |
| kindofabuzz_ | LDS_Trooper: right click > open> drag what you want to desktop | 22:45 |
| hischild | Lokii-, go ahead, i'll take over for you till you get back (then i'll get food :P ) | 22:45 |
| LDS_Trooper | ok thanks.... | 22:45 |
| pike_ | sstoveld: im pretty sure it works in wine but isnt native | 22:45 |
| Slart | sstoveld: compatible? you mean if there is a linux-version? | 22:45 |
| kindofabuzz_ | oh did you empty trash already? | 22:45 |
| Lokii- | god i hope it doesn't take that long to fix his 1 problem | 22:45 |
| tripps | ok since last reboot, my sd card on my shuttle no longer works. could someone help me diagnose? | 22:45 |
| sstoveld | Slart, yes | 22:45 |
| artenius2 | How can I switch back to compiz-fusion? | 22:45 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, irfanview is 100% linux compatible | 22:45 |
| LDS_Trooper | kindofabuzz_, I emptied the trash so it is gone now | 22:45 |
| hischild | Lokii-, i'm lost ... what was his problem again? | 22:45 |
| orudie | how can i compile libgd2 into php ? | 22:45 |
| Slart | sstoveld: well.. check the irfanview site.. | 22:46 |
| evil_tech | stupid question time: where can I find examples of how Linux is used in a production environment? particularly how it compares to user management on windows server/clients. | 22:46 |
| sstoveld | pike_, im new to ubuntu, i dont know what wine is lol | 22:46 |
| Lokii- | no titlebars | 22:46 |
| unop | LDS_Trooper, you could try the undelete thing for ext2 that Slart suggested -- ext3 is basically ext2 | 22:46 |
| artenius2 | my problem is I hooked up a new monitor | 22:46 |
| artenius2 | it worked fine until I rebooted | 22:46 |
| hischild | Lokii-, ah that ... remove emerald would fix that ... or some nice additions to xorg.conf | 22:46 |
| magnetron | LDS_Trooper: you could try to use "foremost", but no success guaranteed and it's quite tricky | 22:46 |
| LDS_Trooper | its not life and death.. I have an older back up of the document and can pick it up from there | 22:46 |
| LDS_Trooper | thanks tho | 22:46 |
| freebird | what type of production environment? I run linux in a school? | 22:47 |
| pike_ | sstoveld: wine basically lets you install and run windows executables but there are an awful lot of linux image viewers out there id suggest trying one of em. | 22:47 |
| rodrigth | i am trying to set up VNC to manage a desktop remotely, connection that i'm trying to connect to is on AT&T adsl, ports have been opened on the router, i can ping the IP, but trying to connect with VNC just times out | 22:47 |
| artenius2 | I just want things back to the way they were with the other monitor. | 22:47 |
| unop | LDS_Trooper, its worth a try with undelete -- if it succeeds, you have your docs back, if not, you can always go back to your backups | 22:47 |
| magnetron | LDS_Trooper: you made a backup? that will save you a lot of time and work | 22:47 |
| LDS_Trooper | thanks again guys! This channel is great! | 22:47 |
| Elevator_Hazard | Why might wake on lan not work right? I ran a script I found on the ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=234588 but it still doesn't work - I enabled it on my bios I think it just said... On LAN [Power On]... Shouldnt' I also see the little light on my router still on for the computer even when its off? | 22:47 |
| Lokii- | !wine | sstoveld | 22:48 |
| ubotu | sstoveld: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 22:48 |
| sstoveld | pike_, oh ok i see, is wine already installed on my computer then? or do i need to install it or what? sorry for the newb questions! | 22:48 |
| hischild | artenius2, you mean as in, you want the old setup back? You can always try to do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ... though it might not fix your problem. Do you have emerald installed? | 22:48 |
| LDS_Trooper | magnetron, yeah I have a back up from yesterday... | 22:48 |
| magnetron | unop: keep in mind that ext3 overwrites the pointers to the old files, as opposed to ext2. | 22:48 |
| Rithirong | hi guys, is this the place that I can ask for the command line? I'm new to Linux. | 22:48 |
| pike_ | sstoveld: see Lokii-'s link above | 22:48 |
| sstoveld | Lokii-, thanks | 22:48 |
| magnetron | Rithirong: just ask | 22:48 |
| hischild | rodrigth, may i note that vnc in itself is unsecure and should probably be tunneled via ssh? | 22:48 |
| LDS_Trooper | OK guys I have a client waiting.. thanks again | 22:48 |
| Rithirong | wha'ts the command that let you see the file created from the specific date | 22:48 |
| Lokii- | ls -ls | 22:49 |
| freebird | ls -al | 22:49 |
| Rithirong | specific date? | 22:49 |
| artenius2 | hischild: I don't know for sure. I was running gnome and compiz-fusion, switching monitors is what caused all this. When I rebooted my resolution was horribe and I had a new login screen. I managed to get the resolution sorted but things still don't look right. | 22:49 |
| Lokii- | all info | 22:49 |
| propdude2000 | blah | 22:49 |
| SilverDawn | Hey, Im trying to get compiz working, I have it started but like usual i have no boarders, I just cant remember how to fix it | 22:49 |
| SilverDawn | Any ideas? | 22:49 |
| propdude2000 | no | 22:49 |
| Lokii- | silverdawn #compiz-fusion | 22:49 |
| Lokii- | thnxz | 22:49 |
| Rithirong | like... ls -march 11 << something like that | 22:50 |
| hischild | artenius, can you pastebin your xorg.conf for me? | 22:50 |
| hischild | SilverDawn, i'm in the process of helping artenius fixing it. | 22:50 |
| backtracker | hi any command to obtain my distribution name and version? | 22:50 |
| artenius2 | !pastebin | 22:50 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic) | 22:50 |
| SilverDawn | hischild, theres a command to start the gtk window decorator i just dont remember what it is | 22:50 |
| rodrigth | hischild: I intend on connecting via ssh once i am able to get the vnc client to connect, trying to connect with ssh gives: connection refused (havent opened the port yet) | 22:50 |
| cyclonut | Silencedbear, I believe the command is something along the lines of 'emerald --replace' | 22:50 |
| SilverDawn | If your using emerald | 22:51 |
| hischild | SilverDawn, there might be some complications on that. Emerald seems to be causing a lot of trouble on it. | 22:51 |
| nextstep | can anyone help me with this wireless issue? My wireless card will only connect at 1mb. | 22:51 |

| magnetron | nextstep: if the signal strength is too low, that is what will happen. | 22:52 |
| hischild | evil_tech, that sounds like aplan | 22:52 |
| cyclonut | nextstep, Intel wifi on Hardy? | 22:52 |

| kindofabuzz_ | how do you run a .deb from cl? | 22:53 |
| Svenstaro | dpkg -i yourdeb.deb | 22:53 |
| unop | kindofabuzz_, you install one via -- sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb | 22:53 |
| kindofabuzz_ | thanks | 22:54 |
| hischild | artenius2, alright... you can also try to add 2 things under device: Option "AddARGBVisuals" "True" and Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" | 22:54 |
| evil_tech | so what is the linux equivalent to a domain? | 22:54 |

| unop | kindofabuzz_, ls -l /usr/bin/dpkg | 22:56 |
| kindofabuzz_ | oh i i did dkpg insteak of dpkg | 22:56 |
| freebird | who was asking about searching files for dates...nasty solution but you could do ls -al | grep "2008-03" | 22:56 |

| mage__ | did you install any decss stuffs? | 22:57 |

| ubotu | j3kyl1: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 22:57 |

| freebird | can you see the files on the dvd in nautilus? | 22:57 |
| endo_ | can someone please help me | 22:57 |
| unop | freebird, find has -mtime and -ctime options -- so you can say find /path -mtime +5 -- finds files older than 5 days | 22:57 |
| hischild | artenius2, then restart x to see if it made a diff | 22:58 |
| artenius2 | ok | 22:58 |
| tsrchristopher | Lokii-, message me again plz | 22:58 |
| freebird | endo_:what's problem | 22:58 |
| unop | kindofabuzz_, best you use apt-get to sort that out for you -- otherwise you need to manually install all the dependencies | 22:58 |
| j3kyl1 | ubotu : i've tried installing libdvdcss2 but i can't get the package for mediubuntu | 22:58 |
| endo_ | freebird: cannot connect to it | 22:58 |

| unop | free1, ~/.mozilla/firefox/ | 23:00 |
| evil_tech | free1:use the foxmarks plugin | 23:00 |
| kindofabuzz_ | free: /home/<user>/.mozilla | 23:00 |
| free1 | thanks! | 23:01 |
| j3kyl1 | evil_tech : well i need to get to that repository to get the ..dvdcss2 to play dvds but i can't get the repository... what do i do? | 23:01 |
| artenius2 | hischild: I think that may have fixed it | 23:01 |
| hischild | artenius2, great to hear | 23:02 |
| evil_tech | j3kyl1:why cant you get the repository | 23:02 |
| evil_tech | j3kyl1:www.medibuntu.org | 23:02 |
| unop | freebird, its not crap -- it works but you can never trust what ls gives you + ls | grep "2008-03" will spit out lines that contain that term, and that doesnt necessarily translate to a date, it could be the name of a file itself, etc, etc | 23:02 |
| artenius2 | hischild: I got some weird error when I restarted, about the gnome daemon, it said it would fix it when I restarted x again, so I did. and I got no error | 23:02 |
| j3kyl1 | evil_tech : ill post the error hold on | 23:02 |
| hischild | artenius2, great news :-) | 23:03 |
| artenius2 | hischild: thanks a lot ;) | 23:03 |
| kindofabuzz_ | well that,s weird, apt-get the dependancys, then it installed that .deb at the end automatically without me telling it to | 23:04 |

| goshawk1 | pulpfiction, when you change them do they show up as "nameserver" entries in /etc/network/interfaces? | 23:09 |
| Scunizi | I have a lot of music files that may have many duplicates.. is there an easy command line way of finding out? | 23:09 |
| kindofabuzz_ | wow webmin is pretty cool | 23:09 |
| freebird | webmin is great | 23:09 |
| j3kyl1 | evil_tech : i just gave up to easily... i think i got it to work lol i hate myself :P | 23:09 |
| kindofabuzz_ | it's gonna make me lazy | 23:09 |
| freebird | especially when you have no window environment | 23:10 |
| Slart | Scunizi: if they are truly duplicates there are tools to find and delete them | 23:10 |
| kindofabuzz_ | yeah using it for my guiless server | 23:10 |
| rryan | Scunizi : Are they identical copies ? i.e. bit for bit the files are equal, or are they two versions of the same song? Do they have similar or identical tags? | 23:10 |
| unop | Scunizi, delete the duplicates of sha1sums | 23:10 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: dhcp tends to get nameservers auto, so when you reboot it might be they are changing, you could try making a /etc/network/interfaces file in gui, then save it somewhere, and make a quick script with cp interfaces /etc/network to restore it, but that's very messy :P | 23:10 |
| Slart | Scunizi: if they are the same song but at a different bitrate or something.. then it gets harder | 23:10 |
| Scunizi | rryan, unop Slart can it be done by file name | 23:11 |
| kindofabuzz_ | whoever wrote webmin, kudos =) | 23:11 |
| SilverDawn | could someone tell me what the shortcut for the run dialog is. I cant remember for the life of me | 23:11 |
| hischild | Slart, you can always try to check for filenames, or properties of mp3 files. | 23:11 |
| Slart | Scunizi: I would say yes... but I don't know a good tool for it | 23:11 |
| sstoveld | anyone know where i can get some ubuntu themes? other than the default ones? | 23:11 |
| hischild | SilverDawn, alt+f2 | 23:11 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: or you could make the file read only to all, but that would be VERY silly, as nothing would be auto, either that or disable the auto changes... | 23:11 |
| unop | Scunizi, sure -- but if the file names dont match up exactly, then it's quite hard | 23:11 |
| freebird | kidofabuzz_: I think he has a book wishlist if you are feeling generous...that wa afew years ago anyway | 23:11 |
| Scunizi | rryan, unop Slart perhaps by one of the keywords in the filename? | 23:12 |
| rryan | sstoveld : have you installed gnome-themes-extras ? | 23:12 |
| SilverDawn | Thanks | 23:12 |
| ScottONanski | !AWM | 23:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about awm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:12 |
| unop | Scunizi, is that keyword something you enter each time? | 23:12 |
| sstoveld | rryan, can i do that from synaptic? | 23:12 |
| ScottONanski | !Hello World | 23:12 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hello world - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:12 |
| hischild | sstoveld, yes you can. | 23:12 |
| rryan | sstoveld : yep, it includes a few more than the defaults. I like 'darklooks' | 23:12 |
| kestir__ | sstoveld: that's how you install applications in ubuntu | 23:12 |
| Scunizi | unop, no. it would just be a unique word in the name | 23:12 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, yeah, that sounds messing ;) | 23:12 |
| sstoveld | ok thanks guys | 23:12 |
| rryan | sstoveld : also you can go here : http://art.gnome.org/themes | 23:13 |
| azexia1 | if dhcp changes it by default though, unless you can disable such behaviour I don't know what other choice you may have | 23:13 |
| kindofabuzz_ | webmin is gonna save me headaces setting up apache by command line lol | 23:13 |
| sstoveld | rryan, thanks, installing now :D | 23:13 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, do you have any idea why goshawk1 asked about the /etc/network/interfaces file? | 23:14 |
| pulpfiction | because when i added my new dns servers, that file is not edited | 23:14 |
| pulpfiction | i just checked it | 23:14 |
| unop | Scunizi, well, it's hard -- consider two files, how do you tell "Tuxedo Blues" apart from "Blue Monday" if blue was a keyword ? | 23:14 |
| sstoveld | rryan, Darktools looks very nice, thanks :) | 23:14 |
| freebird | kindofabuzz_: it's good for samba and being lazy about crontab | 23:14 |
| Scunizi | unop, blue? | 23:14 |
| hischild | rryan, thanks for that theme pack. Didn't have it. | 23:14 |
| kindofabuzz_ | freebird: yeah i see that | 23:15 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: it really should be, that sounds like a bug, I can't remember the exact file though, it might not be that one that stores the name servers... | 23:15 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, my new dns are stored correctly at /etc/resolv.conf | 23:15 |
| pulpfiction | but that file is updated when i reboot | 23:16 |
| unop | Scunizi, ok, forget the example, it's not easy -- best way would be to generate the md5sum or sha1sum of all the files - and then delete duplicates based on that hash or checksum | 23:16 |
| pulpfiction | # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit! | 23:16 |
| Scunizi | unop, good start.. how do I do that? | 23:16 |
| ogre | is there a color profile app for ubuntu? | 23:16 |
| freebird | I'm off to watch Galactica...still on season 3. I'll leave before any of you bad ones tell me the storyline :-) | 23:16 |
| unop | Scunizi, just a sec | 23:17 |
| Scunizi | unop, k | 23:17 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: ah yes, that's the one, is that getitng changed on restart? | 23:17 |
| Slart | ogre: I don't think so.. I've heard that being mentioned as one of the big things lacking for linux.. but it's only second hand knowledge.. there might be something out there | 23:17 |
| pulpfiction | yes, reloaded | 23:17 |
| evil_tech | anyone know what causes grub to spit out an error 17: unable to mount selected partition | 23:18 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/server/C/network-configuration.html | 23:18 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: stupid question, sorry, perhaps just have it copy that file on restart, you could add that as a startup on gnome, or as a startup on init.d, either are very easy, that is the easiest and laziest way, the other is to find out the sole problem, and fix it, but being lazy, as I am :p | 23:18 |
| pulpfiction | The changes you make in /etc/resolv.conf will be erased when you reboot your machine. If you want to make this change permanent, you should install resolvconf package from the Universe repository and update the DNS information in the /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base file provided by that package. | 23:18 |
| Slart | evil_tech: google for it.. afaik, googling any grub error code gets you hundreds of hits.. half of those for ubuntu.. =) | 23:18 |
| CJS3141 | Can anybody help me installing this program? I run "configure" and it says "ERROR: libpcap not found! | 23:18 |
| CJS3141 | Please specify their location with --with-pcap-libs." I have libpcap installed, but I'm not sure of the correct syntax to feed the configure command. Can anyone help? | 23:18 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: looks like you've found the solution :d | 23:18 |
| hischild | CJS3141, what are you trying to install? | 23:19 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, yeah, but you got admit it's awkward | 23:19 |
| pulpfiction | :) | 23:19 |
| paperless | it feels good to say something in a channel with over 1200 users | 23:19 |
| Slart | evil_tech: I'm guessing you somehow moved your drives around.. or added a new drive | 23:19 |
| CJS3141 | hischild: a program called "roguescanner" | 23:19 |
| === kraut_ is now known as kraut | ||
| Tixer | I have two identical drives. How can I make sure they always mount in certain places? | 23:19 |
| evil_tech | nope its a fresh install | 23:19 |
| Slart | !uuid | Tixer | 23:19 |
| ubotu | Tixer: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 23:19 |
| pulpfiction | Tixer, what do you mean? | 23:19 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: yeah, my method was far cleaner :d | 23:19 |
| jimrim | What is the proper program to use to watch BBC? | 23:20 |
| Slart | Tixer: I think the UUID's will be different even if they are the same brand and model | 23:20 |
| Tixer | Slart: That's the problem. They have the same UUID. | 23:20 |
| hischild | CJS3141, did you install the -dev versions of libpcap as well? | 23:20 |
| tunganet | Can anyone tell me if Wine doors will work properly on 7.10 or how I can uninstall it? Thanks | 23:20 |

| SilverDawn | Heres a question, According to the screens dialog im running at 50 for a refreshrate im soposed to be at 75... | 23:21 |

| sstoveld | hey guys, how come i cant open a .jpg file? Error interperating JPEG image file (not a JPEG file, starts with 0x89 0x50) | 23:21 |
| Slart | Tixer: huh.... but.. how.. why... why do we even use UUID's then.. | 23:21 |
| barslow | can someone please tell me how to automatically mount my extra HD on startup? | 23:21 |
| Tixer | Both of my hard drives have the same UUID of S:WDCWD5000AAKS-00YGA0sector63-976768064 | 23:21 |
| hischild | SilverDawn, that's a known bug. It is runnig at 75Hz | 23:21 |
| Slart | barslow: set it up in the file /etc/fstab | 23:21 |
| SilverDawn | according to my monitors diagnostic its only running at 60 | 23:21 |
| CJS3141 | hischild: no, is that the problem? I didn't think I need them to install my program, but am I totally wrong about that? I thought I just need the main libpcap package. | 23:21 |
| barslow | i tried...but im pretty stupid | 23:21 |
| barslow | i need help | 23:21 |
| tsrchristopher | is there an exquivilant to a batch file for ubuntu? | 23:22 |
| Sinnerman | tsrchristopher: bash/dash scripts. | 23:22 |
| hischild | CJS3141, you're trying to compile a program. When you do that, you need the -dev versions of the package as well. :-) | 23:22 |
| SilverDawn | so how do i go about boosting that to where it should be | 23:22 |
| CJS3141 | hischild: :-) OK, I'll give it a try! | 23:22 |

| Slart | Tixer: ok.. I've done some googling.. and the UUID's shouldn't be the same.. | 23:23 |
| hischild | SilverDawn, your monitor is most likely already running at the best refresh rate. | 23:23 |
| Tixer | danand__: I get two unique numbers, unlike when I ran devlabel | 23:23 |
| SilverDawn | hischild, it runs at 75fps, always has :P | 23:23 |

| Xteven | mmmkay | 23:24 |
| Xteven | can anyone tell me how to use python-gdata ? | 23:24 |

| CMind | I, I've just updated my quad display workstation to 8.04 and Im not able to use my Matrox Parhelia and my NVidia together. Anyone had this issue using 8.04? | 23:25 |

| Xteven | the bug database has a supposed fix for the problem I'm experiencing, but noone seems to bother to put the fix in the ubuntu package | 23:25 |
| Slart | Xteven: perhaps you should ask that question in a more python-related channel.. isn't there a #Python on this network? | 23:25 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, there's also this one, which updates the dhcpd client | 23:25 |
| pulpfiction | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=405237 | 23:25 |
| hischild | SilverDawn, good question. I have no idea tbh. Though it also seems wierd, i never have had any trouble with it. | 23:25 |
| rryan | CMind : Was your workstation working with all 4 displays on 7.10? How were they configured ? Separate X servers ? Xinerama ? | 23:25 |
| CMind | (I've tried to use my working xorg.conf from 7.10 but it doesnt work) | 23:25 |
| Xteven | Slart: its an ubuntu problem, not a python problem | 23:25 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, i'm wondering now which one should i do :P | 23:25 |
| Scunizi | unop, cool.. I don't understand it but I'll copy it and learn.. thanks! :) | 23:25 |
| CMind | rryan: Xinerama | 23:25 |
| SilverDawn | ahh there we go | 23:25 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: depends if your nameservers change often :p | 23:26 |
| SilverDawn | there was one listed as 50 and the other 51 | 23:26 |
| SilverDawn | 51 puts it to 75 :) | 23:26 |
| unop | Scunizi, that just lists the duplicates, it doesnt delete them or do anything fancy -- the rest i'll leave upto you | 23:26 |
| rryan | CMind : Have you looked at your X server log files ? Any clues there ? Is it crashing or will it just not load ? | 23:26 |
| Tixer | Now that I have two unique numbers, what program can I use to set up mountpoints for them? | 23:26 |
| CJS3141 | hischild: In general, when I install a program and it asks for something like libpcap (just as an example), in addition to the dev package, do I also need the main package? I would assume so, but I'm pretty ignorant about programming. :-) | 23:26 |
| pulpfiction | azexia1, nah.. i'm using opendns | 23:26 |
| yowshi | amenado: hischild hmmm i finalyl found the solution. though no thanks to either of you to the howto you think they could put the relevant information first instead of confusing me with options utf-8 which i dont need and dont care about | 23:26 |
| rryan | CMind: Have you tried running each monitor separately (or each video cards heads)? Is it possible you don't have the drivers the old xorg.conf used installed ? | 23:27 |
| Scunizi | unop, that's the beginning for me.. it helps a lot.. | 23:27 |
| azexia1 | pulpfiction: in that case, either my (easy) hack, or just do it the correct way :d | 23:27 |
| rahmen | I want to know how to get direct rendering working. fglrx says "direct rendering: No". To fix this, do I need to remove compiz? or can I run compiz at the same time?

| tripps | could someone please help me with my sdcard reader on my shuttle pc? it worked fine until today | 23:27 |

| yowshi | amenado: and dude next time you tell a newbie to rtfm and he tells you he cant understand the manuals or the howto's you might want to consider not reiterating your command | 23:27 |
| Slart | Tixer: just use the regular /etc/fstab and use the UUID's instead of say /dev/sda2 and such.. | 23:28 |
| CMind | rryan: something about space too big. Does 3x1280x1024 + 1360x768 's too much? | 23:28 |

| rryan | CMind : in the meantime could you post your old working xorg.conf into a pastebin ? | 23:34 |
| CJS3141 | tunganet: why don't you just use the wine installer? right-click on the .exe installer file you downloaded for the program and select "open with wine"... | 23:34 |
| edugfr | Instalei o Cube. Está funcionando bem só que ao morrer o jogo trava. Alguem pode me ajudar? | 23:34 |
| Flannel | yowshi: We try and direct you to the wiki pages, which are much easier to digest than man pages. But, usually they don't necessarily break down what you're doing piecewise. For that, it's best to ask here (regarding specific commands/situations/etc). Again, I have no idea what went on, but you do sometimes find people who aren't interested in explaining (only getting your question solved), you've just got to roll with it. | 23:35 |

| daedra | how do I loop mount an image file to use as a ro filesystem? | 23:35 |
| Flannel | !iso | daedra | 23:35 |
| ubotu | daedra: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. | 23:35 |
| CharminTheMoose | daedra, -o loop | 23:35 |
| rryan | CMind : And also possibly the error log for running that xorg.conf | 23:36 |
| tunganet | CJS3141, I am not sure if i can install Macromedia Flash, Photoshop, Internet explorer, Warcraft etc... by using wine (or it may be a hassle), but wine doors seems to offer all of them with an ease of a click | 23:36 |
| edugfr | obrigado. Existe em portugues? pt | 23:36 |
| Flannel | !pt | edugfr | 23:36 |
| ubotu | edugfr: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. | 23:36 |
| bellkana_ | I am interested in volunteering translating Ubuntu help/tech/any documents from English to Japanese. Any openings for me? | 23:36 |
| daedra | CharminTheMoose: charming | 23:36 |
| daedra | :D | 23:36 |
| CMind | rryan: sure | 23:36 |
| Flannel | bellkana_: #ubuntu-jp is the Japanese LoCo team, they're the primary contact point for that (and if you can't get a satisfactory response, come back) | 23:36 |
| endo_ | can someone help me install my Belkin Wireless G USB Adaptor? | 23:37 |
| unop | yowshi, if you take the initial pains to read the manpages, you'll begin to appreciate them more than any other sources of documentation -- they're sometimes written in terse language to get right to the point and be as brief as possible, so you dont have to do much scrolling and that does save you loads of time | 23:37 |
| Flannel | bellkana_: Or actually, try also #ubuntu-doc | 23:37 |
| barslow | anyone interested in walking me through editting my FSTAB | 23:37 |
| Flannel | bellkana_: Both are good resources, and good starting points | 23:37 |
| yowshi | is it possible to get two hard drives to mount to thre same folder? like i have an ntfs formatted harddrive and a ext3 partition i would like both to be mounted to ~/home-data. is this possible and if so how | 23:38 |
| CMind | rryan: http://pastebin.com/d1ce14cf8 (7.10 config) | 23:38 |
| CJS3141 | tunganet: be sure to check appdb.winehq.org to see which programs will even work with Wine. Internet explorer 7 does not, whereas 6.0 does for example. I'm not familar using wine door but using the wine installer is as easy as installing the apps in Windows. | 23:38 |
| rodrigth | sensae: what kind of sound card do you have? | 23:38 |

| Flannel | mneptok: Beta support? | 23:38 |
| tunganet | CJS3141, already ,i guess i shouldnt try to take the easy way out :) | 23:39 |

| azexia2 | yowshi: i have that in effeect, i have two dirs, but i sym link all of one to another, so that it seems fromt he outside it's all one large dir, would that work? | 23:39 |
| * mneptok is missing something here ... | 23:39 | |
| CharminTheMoose | yowshi, nope, it's not possible. sorry | 23:39 |
| daedra | and whilst i'm here, any special way to unmount a loop -o iso | 23:39 |
| azexia2 | youwshi effect* | 23:39 |
| CMind | rryan: Woh! now it work | 23:40 |
| Lunks | How to restore a file which I accidentally forgot to backup using apt? :> | 23:40 |

| rryan | CMind : Cool :) | 23:40 |
| yowshi | azexia2: i dont understand what symlinking really is yet much less know how to do it | 23:40 |
| Flannel | Lunks: What do you mean? | 23:40 |
| CJS3141 | tunganet: Well, wine is quite easy to use by itself--I really don't see how wine door would make it that much easier. But since you're not able to get wine door working, that's a pretty good reason to stick with the native wine installer! :-) | 23:40 |

| CharminTheMoose | azexia2, hm cool, can you explain it in more detail? | 23:40 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: very simple, just think of it as a shortcut, but on a network share it would be invisible | 23:40 |

| ubotu | yowshi: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:40 |
| jokoon | Hello | 23:40 |
| danand__ | yowshi - hello :) | 23:40 |
| daedra | what!? | 23:40 |
| unop | yowshi, you can have something like ~/data-dir/ntfs and ~/data-dir/ext2 and have both partitions mounted on them | 23:41 |
| Slart | Lunks: you can reinstall a package with sudo apt-get install --reinstall <packagename> if that's what you mean | 23:41 |
| Lunks | Flannel: I edited /etc/init.d/mountudevfs.sh and now I'd like to restore it. :P | 23:41 |
| azexia2 | CharminTheMoose:sure, everything from /Server/Films2/* is linked to /Server/Films/ it works very well, and means no one has to look in to dirs =) | 23:41 |
| CJS3141 | tunganet: If you have anymore specific wine questions (not related necessarily to its interaction with ubuntu), try the channel #winehq | 23:41 |
| Lunks | Slart: But I don't know which package I have to reinstall. | 23:41 |
| Flannel | Lunks: dpkg -s /etc/init.d/mountudevfs.sh will show you what package its in, reinstall the package and it'll restore it. | 23:41 |
| Slart | Lunks: what file is it? | 23:41 |
| cellofellow | how does Nautilus decided what and what not to show in computer:///? | 23:41 |
| Flannel | Lunks: er, dpkg -S /etc/init.d/mountudevfs.sh | 23:41 |
| Lunks | Flannel: ok, great =D | 23:41 |
| Lunks | ok | 23:41 |
| jokoon | I have a sony ericsson cellphone and I just want to use my bluetooth device, what package should I install, some time ago I got an answer here and all I had to do was to type obex:// or something like that in the adress bar ... | 23:41 |
| CMind | rryan: Are you using a Parhelia, or have you ever used a parhelia? Cose the first time it load the driver the screen is acting weird (non readable character, meabe aliasing). When I hit the ctrl+alt+backspace the interface is ok. | 23:41 |
| CMind | rryan: sorry for my english :S | 23:42 |
| yowshi | daedra: ctrl+f symlink did not find symlinking on that page | 23:42 |
| rryan | CMind : I haven't used a Parhelia, sorry | 23:42 |
| aHappyJenny86 | hi! I need some help anyone interested O:-) | 23:42 |
| rryan | CMind : I have a 4 head setup though, so that's why I tried to help :) | 23:42 |
| Lunks | Flannel: thanks for this precious command-line =D | 23:42 |
| unop | cellofellow, it asks the gnome-volume-manager what to display there | 23:42 |
| CMind | rryan: any experience with a need to hit the ctrl+alt+backspace to get the screen to work properly? | 23:42 |
| cellofellow | unop: how do I customize that? | 23:42 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: if you want to symlink two things, you can just click and drag, then when the menu comes up, click 'make symbolic link' or you can do ln -s dir/file1 dir2, that would put a link of dir/file1 in dir2 | 23:43 |
| CharminTheMoose | azexia2, hm, I thought you meant you had /foo and /bar symlinked into /foobar at the same time so that /foo/file and /bar/fille would appear as /foobar/fille and /foobar/file. | 23:43 |
| rodrigth | CMind: using the hotkey when screen locks up? | 23:43 |
| unop | cellofellow, you don't usually -- wat are you trying to achieve? | 23:43 |
| mneptok | azexia2: you should use fully qualified pathnames for symlinks, though | 23:43 |
| azexia2 | CharminTheMoose: sorry to disapoint you =) | 23:43 |
| yowshi | azexia2: thanks | 23:43 |
| ejm | oh boy..I got a new laptop, and I'm having trouble with getting my wireless NIC working. It's an atheros chipset. | 23:43 |
| ejm | be back in a sec | 23:43 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: no problem =) | 23:43 |
| cellofellow | unop: ntfs-3g partition is mounted on /media/Windows, and I just want it to show in Nautlis' Computer thingy. | 23:43 |
| CMind | rryan: Thank you for your time, I dont know why but now it work fine. I guess that I've installed new driver or something that resolve the issue :S | 23:43 |
| CharminTheMoose | azexia2, heh, maybe I should look into plan 9. :) | 23:44 |
| rryan | CMind : Nope, not sure why that would be. Is it just on the Parhelia card ? Seems like it could be a driver problem, as I don't see why running the x server a second time is different from the first unless there's some intermediate state left after teh first. | 23:44 |
| azexia2 | CharminTheMoose: always =) | 23:44 |
| ejm | ok..now i'm back. | 23:44 |
| Lunks | Flannel: it didn't complain of anything, but it has not changed it back | 23:44 |
| J1m | should checking the install cd make the screen go blank? | 23:44 |
| yowshi | azexia2: when i drag and drop though no option to make a symlink is presentedc | 23:44 |
| aHappyJenny86 | Pleassee help me! | 23:44 |
| Lunks | Flannel: if I remove it, will it work? | 23:44 |
| rryan | CMind : sometimes X is finicky :) | 23:44 |
| rodrigth | are my messages going into this IRC? | 23:44 |
| amenado | aHappyJenny86-> what was your nick earlier? | 23:44 |
| cellofellow | CMind: don't min rryan, cause checking the CD doesn't use X. | 23:45 |
| aHappyJenny86 | barslow | 23:45 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: sorry, i assumed you were using ubuntu (standard) but we can do this at the command line very easily, do you know how to open it, becuase i'm not to sure on edubuntu :p | 23:45 |
| cellofellow | unop: can I do that? | 23:45 |
| CMind | rodrigth: with my parhelia the every time gnome starts i've got weird behavior like cursor splitted in three part and weird "Matrox" splash screen... I hit the ctrl+alt+backspace and everything is ok after that | 23:45 |
| unop | cellofellow, is that partition mounted via /etc/fstab or manually ? | 23:45 |
| cellofellow | unop: fstab | 23:45 |
| yowshi | azexia2: i am using ubuntu 64 | 23:45 |
| amenado | ah okay, whats up? | 23:45 |
| numus | whats the run hot key to run a command | 23:45 |
| AndyCR | numus: Alt+F2 | 23:45 |
| rryan | Cellofellow : What do you mean checking the CD? | 23:45 |
| unop | cellofellow, hmm, i've never seen that happen | 23:45 |
| yowshi | azexia2: i am not using kubuntu or any of the *buntu's | 23:46 |
| Lunks | Flannel: it's not working. =\ | 23:46 |
| aHappyJenny86 | i need to edit my "fstab" so my extra hard drive starts with ubuntu | 23:46 |
| endo_ | someone please help, im trying to follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29 but im receviing a error when I run 'make' | 23:46 |
| cellofellow | unop: I upgrade from Feisty, and the drive is a /dev/hd** instead of /dev/sd. Anything to do with it? | 23:46 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: fair enough, in that case let me just check, i jsut a variety of distros, and i tend to use the console for quick commands =) | 23:46 |
| cellofellow | aHappyJenny86: What filesystem? | 23:46 |
| aHappyJenny86 | can you just IM me.... its to busy in the room to keep up | 23:46 |
| unop | cellofellow, could you not use a shortcut in the places sidebar for convenience? | 23:46 |
| numus | anyone know how to setup sessions to run compiz then emerald so it does it on bootup | 23:46 |
| yowshi | azexia2: i can use the console method instead. i prefer guis because i tend to typo alot | 23:47 |
| unop | cellofellow, no, that shouldnt matter | 23:47 |
| CMind | rryan: yeah it's only on my parhelia the nvidia graphics ok.. probably the drivers | 23:47 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: right click, make link, then drag the link to anywhere you like, that seemed to work, unfortunatly, you'd have to do that for everything inside dir2, to make dir 1 one partition | 23:47 |
| cellofellow | unop: yep. I'm just trying to figure this one out for a future install. (I want to try my hand at Linux as a business. This needs to work.) | 23:47 |
| bellkana_ | Flannel: Uh..I am a newbie at IRC and ubuntu but how do I get #ubuntu-JP from here? | 23:47 |
| cellofellow | brb... | 23:47 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: the command is very easy, and it's very hard to get typos, you got the console open? | 23:48 |
| jokoon | Can someone help me with my bluetooth phone please ? | 23:48 |
| Slart | bellkana_: type /join #ubuntu-jp in the same place you type messages.. | 23:48 |
| yowshi | so i couldnt have nboth data partitions show up inside home folder without linking every single file in one of them manually? | 23:48 |
| AndyCR | numus: Open System->Preferences->Sessions, under Startup Programs add "emerald --replace" | 23:48 |
| unop | cellofellow, has it ever come up in the computer:// folder? | 23:48 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; if you're in gutsy and you enable compiz via system>preferences>appearances then compiz starts every time automatically | 23:48 |
| rryan | CMind : Yea, I'm reading some forums about the parhelia in X and others are mentioning corruption. | 23:48 |
| jin | how do you add more languages to the dictionary applet in the gnome-panel? | 23:48 |
| bellkana_ | Slart: Thanks alot!!:) | 23:48 |
| azexia2 | i'm not quite sure what you mean, if you just want a link to the harddrives, that's fine | 23:48 |
| Slart | bellkana_: you're welcome | 23:49 |
| yowshi | azexia2: as for typos i generally tend to make one typo per sentence i just catch and fix them sometimes so it looks like i make less | 23:49 |
| numus | bastid_raZor but what about emerald.. because compiz makes you loose the title bars | 23:49 |
| CMind | rryan: so good news for me, 8.04 works just fine with my workstation setup :) | 23:49 |
| Wolvez | guys, do you know a software to helpdesks...? | 23:50 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: hehe, easy to make mistakes, but the command would be: ln -s dir1/* dir2/ that would link everything from dir 1 to dir 2, obviously it would be longer if you have your windows dir in /media/ntfs or something, but it is a very short command =) | 23:50 |
| Wolvez | to manage tickets etc? | 23:50 |
| CMind | rryan: thank you for your time :) | 23:50 |
| cellofellow | unop: no, it hasn't | 23:50 |
| rryan | CMind : Yep :) enjoy | 23:50 |
| cellofellow | unop: I've had this nearly six months and never bothered with it. | 23:50 |
| yowshi | azexia2: thanks a bunc | 23:50 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; you have emerald installed and in ccsm you'll have emerald in command of Window decorations | 23:50 |
| yowshi | bunch* | 23:50 |
| rodrigth | msg CMind figure it out? | 23:50 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: no problem at all, glad someone could help, don't think everyone resorts rtfm :P | 23:50 |
| rodrigth | ? that didn't work | 23:51 |
| CMind | rodrigth: yeah, I dont know why exactly but I put my 7.10 config back and it work | 23:51 |
| CMind | rodrigth: drivers I guess | 23:51 |
| yowshi | azexia2: i know of at least 3 people now who dont do that. but it is infuriating when someone does that. especially since i am not a moron and tend to try a manual first | 23:51 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; or like AndyCR said.. add emerald --replace to sessions | 23:52 |
| numus | thank you | 23:52 |
| kindofabuzz_ | emerald rocks | 23:52 |
| cellofellow | unop: you there? | 23:52 |
| AndyCR | numus: The issue with my method is that turning it off in the appearance applet won't stop it from enabling on startup, but if that's not a problem it'll work | 23:52 |
| azexia2 | yowshi: irc does tend to be full of fast typists, i would love to hear the sounds of everyone at the same time =) but we are all lazy, it's very easy to point someone to a page, but most of the time people will try and help | 23:52 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; hope you enjoy your new compiz-fusion fun | 23:53 |
| cellofellow | why use emerald instead of gwd? | 23:53 |
| plus_M | Hi, I'm trying out Kubuntu KDE 4.0 8.04 beta in virtualbox, but I can't seem to get the resolution above 800x600. I explicitly gave some available resolutions in xorg.conf, but it doesn't seem to be accepting them | 23:53 |
| bluefox83 | the touch pad volume control on my gf's dell inspiron isn't working correctly, anyone know how to get the pad working? (the volume stuff on the taskbar works, but her onboard volume switch doesn't | 23:53 |
| CMind | Anyone know if the limitation of resolution on compiz-fuzion (opengl) have been solved on 8.04? | 23:53 |
| bluefox83 | ) | 23:53 |
| Slart | cellofellow: gwd? what is that? | 23:53 |

| numus | bastid-raZor i use to use this back when it was beryl.. i had a little tift with my laptop and 7.04 so i went to vista only.. now with 7.10 and 8.04 on the way it runs so much better in wubi... | 23:53 |
| cellofellow | GTK Window Decorator. | 23:53 |
| kindofabuzz_ | cellofellow: i just seem to like the emerald themes better | 23:54 |
| artfullylost | Hey, during distro upgrade, I should see stuff scrolling past in the terminal, correct? | 23:54 |
| Slart | cellofellow: bah.. and here I thought gwd was something new and exciting =) | 23:54 |
| kindofabuzz_ | more configurable too | 23:54 |
| cellofellow | Default window decorator. Uses Metacity themes. | 23:54 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; wubi still has some bugs.. some things don't work right for that reason | 23:54 |
| kindofabuzz_ | Slart: hehe me too | 23:54 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; be sure to clarify that in future questions :) | 23:54 |
| TuTUXG_ | !hello | 23:54 |

| D|sToRt|oN | hello how can I extract prevail.crt.r00 ? | 23:55 |
| CMind | I'm wondering if my 3840x1792 virtual desktop will work with compiz | 23:55 |
| bastid_raZor | numus; cool.. good luck with compiz | 23:55 |
| azexia2 | CMind: is that a wide screen tv? | 23:55 |
| D|sToRt|oN | Ark dont work | 23:55 |
| kindofabuzz_ | Andy: when that happens just do a metacity -replace to fix it | 23:55 |
| CMind | azexia2: quad display (3x19+32) | 23:55 |
| kindofabuzz_ | metacity --replace | 23:55 |
| kindofabuzz_ | or emerald --replace, whcih ever you use | 23:55 |
| azexia2 | CMind: very nice, i'll have to look into the same my self at some point, i think it should, do you have a nvidia gpu? | 23:56 |
| bastid_raZor | D|sToRt|oN; you'll need to find the .rar that is associated with that file.. normally .r00 are the first of a series of rar files .. .r01 .r02 etc.. | 23:56 |

| azexia2 | CMind: i would personally have to setup something like that to be seperate xservers, as the 3dcube would look pretty bad being that big, mine looks strange enough with two =) | 23:56 |
| AndyCR | kindofabuzz_: It's not the case where the windeco crashes, it's something rather odd. Randomly the titlebar will either disapear (in 7.10 and lower) or turn a bright color (8.04), then go back again randomly | 23:56 |
| AndyCR | It doesn't occur with emerald | 23:57 |
| nonewmsgs | is it possible to resume a (cord disconected) dd session? | 23:57 |

| azexia2 | CMind: it tends to be a lot down to the gpu, i expect compiz won't be an issue,the nvidia 5500 will be fine though, i used to use that card, not to sure about the maxtor, but worth a try, would be a really cool setup, expecially for multitaskers, i always find i move into whatever space i have, i started with 800x600, and i swore when i got to 1024x768 i'd need nothing more, now i'm on dual 1280x1024, and i need more :p | 23:58 |
| bastid_raZor | D|sToRt|oN; try replacing the .r01 with .rar .. hopefully the .rar is in the directory | 23:59 |
