| azexia2 | tripps: i'm not to sure on that one, if it picks up nothing in dmesg then you probably have a broken sdcard/sdcard reader, perhaps try the sd card in another sdcard reader, or try another sdcard | 00:13 |
| tripps | azexia2, it's built into the box, probably using an internal usb host. all other ports work fine, and it worked fine for months before this morning | 00:14 |

| tripps | azexia2, i will check the bios however; there was an issue booting up this morning in that the time was way off (10/2004). | 00:15 |
| azexia2 | tripps: if it worked before, and you haven't changed anything package wise then it's probably a hardware fault, if nothing is coming up, you could try it in the ubuntu live cd, or if you have a spare, use a different sdcard reader to test the sdcards | 00:15 |

| Belboz92 | azexia2: That is what I ran it with | 00:16 |
| azexia2 | tripps: that doesn't sound so great, there's always something, i myself always hope it's the software, but when it's something like that, it normally isn't although you can try a live cd just in case if you wish | 00:16 |

| ArthurArchnix | rodrigth: should be back soon to tell me my nonsensical command doesn't work, then I can give the correct one. :P | 00:17 |
| bellkana_ | I guess I will ask one more time. Are there any voluntary translator positions of such as Ubuntu's help/tech/doc from Eng to JP and/or JP to Eng? | 00:17 |

| twointo1 | what causes squashfs errors when booting livecd? I can run it on my laptop, but not my desktop? | 00:18 |

| unop | bellkana_, you can also approach the gnome or kde projects -- see if they need any help with translating | 00:18 |
| Belboz92 | azexia2: I've also stopped lircd and removed the other lirc modules in case they were conflicting | 00:19 |
| azexia2 | Belboz92: hmm... that is an odd error, device busy tends to mean that it can't remove, the fact that it cant modprobe, glance at dmesg, does it have another module confilicting perhaps? just dmesg | tail to see the last few lines | 00:19 |
| Svenstaro | anybody got a good vim cheat sheet? :> | 00:19 |

| tonyyarusso | Hi, I need some help with NAT transversal. Computer "Alice" is on an internal university network behind NAT. Computer "Bob" is outside of that, and sees Alice's hostname as just the public WAN IP of the school. I want to be able to connect from Bob to Alice, via SSH. I have no control over open ports, port forwarding, etc. on the university network of course. What can I do? | 00:26 |
| J1m | hello | 00:26 |
| J1m | hi | 00:27 |
| J1m | hola | 00:27 |
| wpk | tonyyarusso: create tunnel from Alice to Bob | 00:27 |
| wpk | using any nat-transversing solution | 00:27 |
| tonyyarusso | wpk: Such as? I only know some of the terms, not the actual software or how to use it. | 00:27 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: do you know iptables? | 00:27 |
| wpk | CMind: iptables won't help him. | 00:28 |
| masmota | theres always reverse connect | 00:28 |
| masmota | but then someone on the other side still has to initiate | 00:28 |
| tonyyarusso | CMind: Not really (yet), although I really should. | 00:28 |
| wpk | tonyyarusso: vtun, openvpn, even simple ssh with -R (reverse port forwarding) | 00:28 |
| unop | tonyyarusso, http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_SSH_Reverse_Tunnel | 00:29 |
| CMind | wpk: oh, miss readed... tunnel is your answer | 00:29 |
| tonyyarusso | masmota: That would be an option, but sub-ideal. | 00:29 |
| tonyyarusso | wpk: I've heard good things about openvpn. | 00:29 |
| arrow | I changed the resolution on stratagus to 1600x1200x0 and I need to change it back, can someone tell me how to without playing the game. | 00:30 |
| amenado | tonyyarusso-> is there any host within the university you can ssh in? | 00:30 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: you may take a look to pptp too | 00:30 |
| tonyyarusso | amenado: Nope. | 00:30 |
| amenado | tonyyarusso-> what ports does the university allows in? | 00:31 |
| tonyyarusso | CMind: "PPTP is difficult to forward past a network firewall because it requires two network sessions." - that doesn't sound good | 00:31 |
| guestbuntu55 | I cant install a driver. | 00:32 |
| tonyyarusso | amenado: Not sure - I've only really seen the outbound. Clearly 80 will be open at some levels, since they have a web site, but likely not much else. | 00:32 |
| lufis | is kde 4.0 included in gutsy's repos? | 00:32 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: encapsulate it through ssl? | 00:32 |
| tonyyarusso | amenado: I suppose I could do a portmap to find out. | 00:32 |
| guestbuntu55 | ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run | 00:32 |

| pingu | ne one know why i can save a .doc to my external on ubuntu and take it to a windows comp and it wont open | 00:33 |
| unop | tonyyarusso, is there a way you can get alice to ssh to bob? | 00:33 |
| amenado | tonyyarusso-> in that case if only port 80 is open or allowed in/out -- the connection will have to be initiated from the inside. | 00:33 |
| tonyyarusso | unop: that can be done, yes. | 00:33 |
| Pelo | guestbuntu55, sudo ./filenamehere.run | 00:34 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 00:34 |
| tonyyarusso | amenado: I see. Now, if 22 is open, how would I use that to my advantage without an IP to use? | 00:34 |

| masmota | lol set up a batch script to initiate reverse connect, and cron it every ten minutes... you may have to wait a while on your shell, but eh | 00:35 |
| guestbuntu55 | Pelo: sudo: ./ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86_64.run: command not found | 00:35 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: Can't Alice connect outside to a VPN server instead of trying to break in the NAT ? | 00:35 |
| tonyyarusso | masmota: That's not a bad idea... | 00:35 |
| tonyyarusso | CMind: could you elaborate? | 00:35 |
| Pelo | guestbuntu55, you need to cd to the folder where it is located first | 00:35 |
| mrpoundsign | anyone happen to know, offhand, how to make rsync give a transfer progress? Seems the --progress gives you a per-file progress, not an entire progress transfer status. | 00:35 |
| guestbuntu55 | Pelo: And By Cd to it you mean? | 00:36 |
| masmota | or you could always install an irc bot... set it on a server somewhere and issue cmds remotely | 00:36 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: cron job a deamon to check vpn state and connect to your vpn server... or meabe a simple deamon that "keep alive" the connection | 00:36 |
| amenado | tonyyarusso-> it has to have an ip address.. its most likely you have to log on to the intermediate host in the university then towards alice | 00:36 |
| unop | tonyyarusso, if alice can connect to bob, you can get alice to create a tunnel so that sockets are open on bob - you on bob just interact with those sockets | 00:36 |
| Pelo | guestbuntu55, I didn'T say Cd I said cd , linux is case sensitive, and I mean change folder | 00:36 |
| tim | How do i check the date that my VIDEO driver was made ? | 00:36 |
| tonyyarusso | masmota: IRC bots are also an option, but I don't know what they would be doing. I'm somewhat familiar with supybot, if that helps. | 00:36 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 00:36 |
| guestbuntu55 | Pelo: OK | 00:36 |
| tim | tonyyarusso, How do i check the date that my VIDEO driver was made ? | 00:37 |
| FantomZx | зароботок http://www.kolotibablo.com/?ref=45139 | 00:37 |
| tonyyarusso | amenado: right, but I don't have a logon for the intermediate host. | 00:37 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: maybe the NAT wont let pass some traffic... you may consider encapsulate your VPN connection through 443 (SSL) | 00:37 |
| unop | CMind, he has no access to routers or server on the university network tho | 00:38 |
| CMind | unop: no needs | 00:38 |
| amenado | tonyyarusso-> im going to defer to the experts, i have to leave for now... | 00:38 |
| mysticalone | How can I see a map of my drives | 00:38 |
| tonyyarusso | amenado: 'k, thanks | 00:38 |
| CMind | unop: as long as "Alice" have access to the internet (some port) | 00:38 |
| douglas_ | s | 00:39 |
| tonyyarusso | CMind: that we definitely have. | 00:39 |
| Pelo | mysticalone, depends on what you mean, there is a disc analyser in the acessories menu or youcan see fil bars in the last tab of the system monitor in the admin menu | 00:39 |
| unop | CMind, if he has no need, and can successfully connect to a host inside - what he can do amounts to a network infiltration -- and i seriously doubt thats possible | 00:39 |
| Sylphid | could someone point me in the right direction for mounting a logical partition ? | 00:40 |

| guestbuntu55 | Pelo: It's not in that list. | 00:42 |
| Pelo | Sylphid, try typing blkid in the terminal | 00:42 |
| CMind | tonyyarusso: basicly you need a pptp or openvpn server that you can reach. install your tunnel (pptp/openvpn) server on it and connect alice to it | 00:42 |
| tonyyarusso | CMind: well, bob doesn't have a static IP, but a third machine "Charlie" that I have access to does. | 00:42 |

| daedra | how would I make a session of irssi start at xinit? | 00:47 |
| unop_ | daedra, place the irssi command into ~/.xinitrc perhaps? | 00:48 |
| bmac_ | I'm running an nvidia card on a screen that should put out 1440X900 but it will only put out a frontend resolution of 1024X786... is there a sudo to let me reconfig the max X server resolution? | 00:48 |
| daedra | unop_: you got it... but in what format? | 00:48 |
| Sylphid | poseidon01: arp <ip> | 00:48 |
| tonyyarusso | daedra: you'll want to do it within screen to be useful, using the -dm switch to screen iirc. (definitely -d, maybe the -m) | 00:48 |
| daedra | unop_: surely irssi wouldn't spawn inside a gnome-terminal?! | 00:48 |
| Svenstaro | unop your search engine owns :) | 00:48 |
| Pelo | bmac_, check in synaptic there is a nvidia-settings packages to let you do stuff like that | 00:48 |
| CMind | bmac_: take a look to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:49 |
| daedra | tonyyarusso: got an example? | 00:49 |
| unop_ | daedra, depends on the shell that ~/.xinitrc runs under -- check the shebang line -- gnome-terminal -e "irssi .." | 00:49 |
| tonyyarusso | daedra: Nope - it'll swawm in a /bin/sh, which is useless. | 00:49 |
| randy_ | how do I gain permission to write something to my /usr/bin folder? | 00:49 |
| tonyyarusso | daedra: Not handy at the moment - I did it once, but that was over a year ago. However, I did mine with a @reboot in cron. | 00:49 |
| unop_ | Svenstaro, yea, some effort has gone into that search engine :) | 00:49 |
| bmac_ | Pelo, that nvidia tool isn't giving me results | 00:49 |
| daedra | ah i see | 00:49 |
| tonyyarusso | daedra: the screen man page should be all you need though. | 00:49 |
| CMind | daedra: tonyyaruso need access to the university network from home ;) | 00:49 |
| daedra | other ways to skin a cat | 00:49 |
| Pelo | randy_, copy it with sudo cp or open the editor you use with sudo or gksu | 00:50 |

| kindofabuzz_ | then | 00:53 |
| LinuxMercedes | kindofabuzz_: ok, maybe you can tell me what I'm really trying to do | 00:54 |

| kindofabuzz_ | LinuxMercedes: probably not lol | 00:54 |
| Pelo | bmac_, scroll down, you'll see other resolutions listed, just type your's in follow the syntax | 00:54 |

| Jesse | anyone in here know why i'd be having problems trying to run ubuntu on my new sata 2 500g hdd? | 01:11 |
| masmota | if the packet doesnt match any ruleset you specify, it will deny the packet | 01:11 |
| masmota | ie: by default, deny all | 01:12 |
| Jesse | it says it cant mount the partition that its installed on... could it have something to do w/ the fact its running at 3g/s rather than 1.5g/s? | 01:12 |
| rryan | Jesse : Well.. I think if I tried to run ubuntu on your hard drive, I mighth ave problems :) BUT It works just fine on my Sata 2 hard drives :) | 01:12 |

| rryan | Jesse : Well, what isn't working ? Did you install it on the 500gb and it won't boot? Did you install the 500gb on a machine that already had it and you want the 500gb recognized in Ubuntu ? | 01:15 |
| davi1 | thanks drc | 01:15 |
| LinuxMercedes | kindofabuzz_: alright, any ideas as to why I get a permission denied when running ./configure? | 01:15 |
| kindofabuzz_ | sudo | 01:16 |
| drc | davil, it may not have all you want, but it's a start | 01:16 |
| kindofabuzz_ | ? | 01:16 |
| davi1 | thanks drc | 01:16 |
| jer132 | Does anyone know if it's possible to have the same hostname on a LAN? | 01:16 |
| LinuxMercedes | kindofabuzz_: tried, command not found | 01:16 |
| LinuxMercedes | kindofabuzz_: what's weird is that it's in my home dir | 01:16 |
| Jesse | rryan, i the PC recognizes the hdd no prob.. its dual booting w/ winxp just fine but for some reason it fails to boot the ubuntu install via grub... it says that it was unable to mount the partition | 01:16 |
| Jesse | doesnt explain why or anything | 01:16 |
| Jesse | just that grub fails to mount it.. :-\ | 01:17 |
| unop__ | jer132, definitely possible, not advisable | 01:17 |
| === poseidon is now known as avgJoe | ||
| Jesse | I think i'm gonna try to delete the partition and repartition it | 01:17 |
| rryan | Jesse : How many hard drives are there total ? | 01:17 |
| icanhasadmin | LinuxMercedes: chmod +x | 01:17 |
| jer132 | unop_: could it potentially cause conflicts? I only ask this because of a bug I'm trying to sort out... but nobody will listen... ack! | 01:17 |
| CTho_ | does gutsy have ionice / CFQ enabled? | 01:17 |
| rryan | Jesse : And is the Ubuntu partition on the same drive as the XP one ? | 01:18 |
| CMind | Jesse: Make sure grub have to good partition / disk index | 01:18 |
| CMind | Jesse: have to* have the | 01:18 |
| LinuxMercedes | icanhasadmin: that works, thanks! | 01:18 |
| unop__ | jer132, it could definitely cause conflicts, especially with networking services | 01:18 |
| unop__ | jer132, what's the suspect bug? | 01:18 |
| jer132 | unop_: Well Ubuntu Hardy defaults with a hostname of "*". | 01:18 |
| Jesse | yes rryan its installed on the same freakin drive lol | 01:18 |
| jer132 | unop_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/206384/ | 01:19 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | heres my query, i want to install a program called calcurse from source, but i have the old version of calcurse on my system | 01:19 |
| avgJoe | How would I find the reutor I am using wirelessly? | 01:19 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | so i am planning to install it to opt | 01:19 |
| Jesse | dont insult my intelligence lol .. i've been using linux for 2-3 yrs and normally use slackware & arch but wanted something quick and easy | 01:19 |
| Jesse | turning out not to be so quick or easy | 01:19 |
| unop__ | jer132, sorry, hardy discussion/support only in #ubuntu+1 -- beta software requires different approaches to troubleshooting | 01:19 |
| LinuxMercedes | Alright, when I run ./configure, I get "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" | 01:20 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | how would i go about doing that, is it as simple as using configure --prefix=/opt/calcurse... | 01:20 |
| rryan | Jesse : Well.. first off the question I asked shouldn't be insulting. You can have setups where teh partitions are on different drives, I'm just trying to get a judge for how complicated your setup is. Remember, I'm blind, and you aren't giving me the details I need. :) There's no need to take offense. | 01:20 |
| jer132 | unop__: well nobody will acknowledge the problem or help me test.. | 01:20 |
| avgJoe | Is there a program that could help me with it? | 01:20 |
| YeaSt | avgJoe: try iwconfig to find our you wireless card name and do ip r to see the route | 01:21 |
| Jesse | rryan, i was just messin | 01:21 |
| Xang | avgJoe: You could perform the command: netstat -rn | 01:21 |
| rryan | Jesse : Can you verify the partitions is there, formatted ext3, and contains valid data ? (e.g. from within xp or a livecd) | 01:21 |
| yowshi | hmmm sym links didnt work i click on them and nothing happenzsx | 01:21 |
| Jesse | rryan, yeah its all looking like it should work fine | 01:22 |
| avgJoe | xang, I want to find out the model of reutor I have, so I can portforward it | 01:22 |
| nikrud | LinuxMercedes install build-essential | 01:22 |
| LinuxMercedes | icanhasadmin: when I run ./configure, I get "configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables" | 01:22 |
| CMind | Jesse: can you pastebin your grub config ? | 01:22 |
| Jesse | cmind do you mean my menu.lst? | 01:22 |
| YeaSt | avgJoe: ip r will give the route | 01:23 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe pretty much, yes. | 01:23 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: what about the documentation, will i need to specify that seperately? | 01:23 |
| Jesse | I think i may have an idea lemme try it.. i'll b back on in a few | 01:23 |
| rryan | Jesse : Hm.. If you look at your grub device config in /boot/grub/device.map?, does it look like the drive names mapped to hd0, hd1, and so on match up with the ones referenced in /boot/grub/menu.lst? | 01:23 |
| starscalling | o: | 01:23 |
| CMind | Jesse: yes | 01:24 |
| starscalling | sup allz | 01:24 |
| icanhasadmin | LinuxMercedes: do you have build-essential installed? | 01:24 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe depends on how configure and the make file is put together. I would _expect_ the doc install to respect the --prefix | 01:24 |
| yowshi | sorry ahbout that | 01:24 |
| LinuxMercedes | icanhasadmin: Installing right now; I didn't see nikrud's response =] | 01:24 |
| abel | can u help me, please...? | 01:24 |
| Jesse | yeah rryan its rec my /dev/sda as (hd0).. i think the menu.lst file is jacked tho | 01:24 |
| icanhasadmin | LinuxMercedes: yeah that would do it lol | 01:24 |
| Jesse | never had ubuntu mess that up tho :-\ | 01:25 |
| Jesse | i'm gonna alter it and see which one takes | 01:25 |
| Jesse | if any :-\ lol | 01:25 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: i'll give it a go, how would i undo it, make uninstall? | 01:25 |
| rryan | Jesse : Hm ok... make sure menu.lst's entry for hte ubuntu version you are loading references like (hd0,1) then if ubuntu is the second partition on the drive after your xp | 01:25 |
| abel | how to install skype in ubuntu ver. 5 | 01:25 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe one of the real advantages of putting stuff in /opt/<whatever> is if the make file doesn't have an uninstall (not unheard of) you can easily delete it :) | 01:26 |
| Bugson | hello | 01:26 |
| avgJoe | YeaSt. I need the Rueters model IE, its a belkin, but I need to no the model | 01:26 |
| CMind | rryan: have you tried remastersys? | 01:26 |
| * nikrud feels deja vu | 01:26 | |
| joanki | can anyone tell me how i can get aim on my computer? | 01:26 |
| LinuxMercedes | icanhasadmin, nikrud, kindofabuzz_: thanks for the help | 01:26 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: so its better to install to /opt/[package name] then /opt i suppose, that way you can just delete it? | 01:26 |
| rryan | CMind : nope, have you ? | 01:27 |
| Bugson | maybe someone now how to disable automount samba directories at my desktop? | 01:27 |
| badcarbine | joankie: you can just use pidgin if you're in ubuntu. should come with it | 01:27 |
| avgJoe | YeaSt. Unless you care to ellaborate on how I could portforward azurues with the info that gives me :) | 01:27 |
| CMind | rryan: trying to create an live/install disk of my workstation.. will see if it works | 01:27 |
| j3kyll | i've tried everything and my dvd player still wont work!!! please help | 01:27 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe it's a rational decision. Me, I tend to put stuff in /usr/local . But both methods have their pluses. (like /usr/local/bin being on the path, for example) | 01:27 |
| Jesse | rryan, win xp is on sda1, and ubuntu is on sda5 | 01:28 |
| YeaSt | avgJoe: if the router is manageable, you could use smnpwalk to find the module for you router. But I do not understand why you need that inform | 01:28 |
| Jesse | should be on 0,4 | 01:28 |
| CMind | Jesse: (hd0,4) then | 01:28 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe erm, let me rephrase that: when I used to compile stuff I put it in /usr/local | 01:28 |
| CMind | Jesse: if you dont have ide drives | 01:28 |
| atha | halo | 01:28 |
| Jesse | nope not going to | 01:28 |

| joanki | can anyone tell me how to get aim | 01:29 |

| Bugson | I have to add that I'm working on 8.04 and there is that stupid automounting samba directories when I enter them, any idea how to disable that? | 01:29 |
| LinuxMercedes | um, does Ubuntu use redhat style rc files? | 01:29 |
| CMind | Jesse: a fresh install takes about 20mins ;) | 01:29 |
| Bugson | j3kyll have u installed the drivers? | 01:30 |
| xeer | I have a strange problem regarding audio input | 01:30 |
| godfreyhk | Can I install the JeOS version on a non-virtual intel box? | 01:30 |
| Jesse | yeah i knw | 01:30 |
| qaz | hello there | 01:30 |
| Jesse | brb guys | 01:30 |
| Jesse | gonan give this a spin | 01:30 |

| xeer | I cut the end off of a input cable, and I hear the radio playing in my speakers when I plug it in | 01:30 |
| qaz | i am new linux ubuntu user | 01:30 |
| dtad | j3kyll do you get any picture ? | 01:30 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe /usr/local is never touched by synaptic, except maybe to create directory trees for integrating locally compiled modules for synaptic installed software, like /usr/loca/lib/python2.5 . /usr/local is intended exclusively for local compilation/installation | 01:30 |
| xeer | I'm trying to get the mic working but I get an error, ERROR: from element /bin0/alsasink0: Could not open resource for writing. | 01:31 |
| Bugson | any idea with that auto mounting? | 01:31 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe install libncurses5-dev | 01:31 |
| j3kyll | Bugson : i think i have but i don't know if i did it corectly. | 01:31 |
| mutabi | xeer me too - my speakers sometimes pickup LW :-) | 01:31 |
| j3kyll | dtad : no i have no picture :( | 01:31 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: cheers | 01:31 |
| xeer | LW, wow we have no stations that broadcast on that freq | 01:31 |
| godfreyhk | I don't really need all the fancy stuff in the 'normal' version.. anyone tried that before? (Installing JeOS on a non-virtual machine) | 01:32 |
| mutabi | xeer yeah I normally get German or Arabic news - at least it sounds like news - I don't speak German or Frasi! :-) | 01:32 |
| xeer | in the Sound Preference, I click on the test button under sound capture, I get "gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing." | 01:32 |
| Bugson | j3kyll just try to play some dvd with totem and it should find and install all the drivers that it needs, ofcourse u have to remember about good repos | 01:32 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: if i were to install to /usr/local how would i uninstall? | 01:32 |
| who_ | okay, I have a wireless card doing DHCPDISCOVER on eth1 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14 | 01:33 |
| xeer | Bugson: I have major issues playing dvds. vlc will play it, but it stutters and crashes. totem says it doesn't have the codecs even though I've installed it. I'm on amd64 | 01:33 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe make uninstall, or manually. | 01:33 |
| Dr_Link | Does Ubuntu come with DVD video codecs installed? | 01:33 |
| who_ | the 255.255.255.255 looks kinda strange - is that right? | 01:33 |
| Bugson | xeer what version? | 01:33 |
| Bugson | of ubuntu | 01:33 |
| CMind | who_: thats a broadcast address | 01:33 |
| xeer | Bugson: 7.10 | 01:34 |
| j3kyll | bugson : i've tried doing that with totem and it gives me a link. where there i have to add the repository medibuntu then install both the ..dvdcss2 and libdvdread | 01:34 |
| cabrioleur | Dr_Link, no | 01:34 |
| who_ | CMind: tell me more :S | 01:34 |
| CMind | who_: it's normal. | 01:34 |
| Dr_Link | Damnit, my DVD player is not working | 01:34 |
| Dr_Link | and this video has some information I need on it. | 01:34 |
| nikrud | Dr_Link with the codecs to play unencrypted (non-commercial) dvds | 01:34 |
| j3kyll | bugson : i've done all of the steps i just mentioned :\ | 01:34 |
| who_ | Cmind: oh - I was hoping it wasn't - can't work out any other reason I can't get a lease :P | 01:34 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: is /usr/local/src for containing the source? | 01:35 |
| nikrud | Dr_Link install ubuntu-restricted-extras , and libdvdcss2 from medibuntu , see following link | 01:35 |
| CMind | who_: your dhcp service send a packet to every address at once on your network to find the DHCP server. Once it's found, the dhcp server will respond and give you an address. | 01:35 |
| nikrud | !medibuntu | Dr_Link | 01:35 |
| ubotu | Dr_Link: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org | 01:35 |
| arooni | whats a good port for ssh that is not port 22 and wont conflict with other stuff? | 01:35 |
| CMind | who_: network card miss configuration or bad wep/wpa key | 01:35 |
| LinuxMercedes | "error reading information on service ddclient: No such file or directory"--where should I put ddclient? | 01:35 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe I always keep src (other than the kernel source) in ~/projects, I don't have to worry about permissions if I edit | 01:35 |
| nikrud | s/if I edited/when I used to edit/ | 01:36 |
| LinuxMercedes | arooni: pretty much anything over 1000, afaik | 01:36 |
| who_ | CMind: I'll check the keys - but it shouldn't be... Net Card - could be. | 01:36 |
| Bugson | j3kyll xeer and all others that have problems with dvds: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#How_To_Add_DVD_Playback_Capability | 01:36 |
| arooni | linux4me, 24000? | 01:36 |
| CMind | who_: the router may also block your mac address (MAC filtering) | 01:36 |
| who_ | CMind: it isn't a router, but instead a MacBook sharing it's internet. It isn't blocking this MAC... | 01:37 |
| LinuxMercedes | arooni: I don't know of any conflicts on that port | 01:37 |
| who_ | CMind - but it might just be being nasty when it comes to DHCP | 01:37 |
| CMind | who_: someone else tried to connect to the laptop successfuly before you? | 01:37 |
| nikrud | Bugson the only problem with that instruction is it gets an old version of libdvdcss, 1.2.5. Medibuntu carries the latest, 1.2.9 | 01:37 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: i think what i'll do in the future is keep /opt for my own programs and /usr/local/ for those complied from ource | 01:38 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe a rational decision ;) | 01:38 |
| who_ | CMind: I don't _think_ so. Yes from Os X (this computer is also a mac - a G4 imac to be precise) but not from Linux. But it has been on OTHER networks | 01:38 |
| Bugson | nikrud it works for me | 01:38 |
| Bugson | and its the easiest way to say how it should be done | 01:39 |
| starscalling | jyfyfjhf | 01:39 |
| dtad | xeer do you have deinterlace checked | 01:39 |
| nikrud | !worksforme | Bugson (I do what Works for Me™ a lot too;) | 01:39 |
| ubotu | Bugson (I do what Works for Me™ a lot too;): Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 01:39 |
| xeer | Bugson: mplayer dvd:// works, though it states my system is slow. which definitely is not true | 01:39 |
| angel | hi evribody | 01:39 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: so because i am compiling from source i need libncurses5-dev | 01:39 |
| xeer | dtad, yes I'm using blend. It makes the picture much smoother | 01:39 |
| icanhasadmin | yeah.. you know chmod +x / works for me... | 01:39 |
| CMind | who_: OSX is BSD based (unix), which is somekind of linux... I don't think that the OS is the issue here. | 01:40 |
| angel | do you know another ftp program for gnome... no gftp?? | 01:40 |
| Bugson | nikrud it may work for other and solve the problem ;) | 01:40 |
| j3kyll | bugson : i tried the link you gave me and got this after downloading "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh" | 01:40 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe yes. The way ubuntu handles software is to keep the libraries needed to run stuff in one package, and the stuff needed to compile against those libraries in another ending in -dev . | 01:40 |
| CMind | who_: what's the authentification used ? | 01:40 |
| === xp_prg_ is now known as xp_gne | ||
| j3kyll | bugson *dpkg: status database area is locked by another process | 01:40 |

| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: sensible enough | 01:41 |

| who_ | CMind: Well, in fact, this trying to connect to the macbook from the imac (ubuntu) is just to establish the card works okay - because I can't get it tow work in master mode... the macbook just doesn't see the network the imac _should_ be creating | 01:43 |

| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: should make be run as sudo, also should i run make install and should it be ran as sudo | 01:45 |
| charles__ | is there something I can run from the command line to disrupt the gnome-screensaver? | 01:45 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe make should not, make install yes | 01:45 |

| spork969 | will the archive manager unpack rar archives? | 01:46 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe another reason to keep your source in $HOME somewhere | 01:46 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: i have run make as sudo, can i just do it again but without this time? | 01:46 |
| mutabi | generally speaking you should always build as root and then drop to unpriv user to make install | 01:46 |
| LinuxMercedes | charles__: shooting in the dark here (no gui on my linux box =]) but have you tried a kill? | 01:46 |
| c13paradox | i'm trying to install from dvd | 01:46 |
| nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe no, because anything that compiled with sudo is now owned by root, and you can't overwrite. You'd have to run sudo make clean, that should allow you to run make as non sudo | 01:46 |
| c13paradox | i burned the image and put the disc in | 01:47 |
| c13paradox | selected install and nothing is happening | 01:47 |
| TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: ok sheers | 01:47 |
| charles__ | LinuxMercedes, that may work; I just want to disable it while I watch a movie and then re-enable it | 01:47 |
| cabrioleur | mutabi, you said in reverse, build as a user, make install as a root. | 01:47 |
| who_ | CMind: and now it works... so I can go back to working out why this card does not work as a master | 01:47 |
| nikrud | spork969 if you install unrar , yes | 01:47 |
| pingu | ne one know why i can save a .doc to my external on ubuntu and take it to a windows comp and it wont open | 01:47 |
| charles__ | LinuxMercedes, without clicking a bunch of menus everytime | 01:47 |

| aHappyJenny86 | can someone explain to me why i can't access my linux files thru SMB on windows pc's | 01:49 |
| CMind | who_: by the way.. maybe you have to configure a dhcp server on your mac. Not SURE that it'll do it by itself | 01:49 |
| nikrud | spork969 no extra steps necessary | 01:49 |
| charles__ | nikrud, awesome, thanks | 01:49 |
| bluefox83 | c13paradox, what kind of machine are you installing it on, and does it actually have a dvd drive? | 01:49 |
| spork969 | nikrud, greatm thanks a bunch | 01:49 |
| who_ | CMind: Thanks. The mac seemed to be doing the DHCP thing - I changed the auth type to nothing and it is working now | 01:49 |
| draco | can you override/define unary ^? | 01:50 |
| draco | oops. wrong channel | 01:50 |
| CMind | who_: or configure both interface with static ip's gateway and route | 01:50 |
| who_ | CMind: so all I really know is that this card works fine if the OS X Macbook is master | 01:50 |
| j3kyll | c13paradox : i've not heard of that. its very strange | 01:50 |
| CMind | who_: great | 01:50 |

| mutabi | MacTaylor - when 'monkey-boy' Ballmer talks - feel free to go to the bar. | 01:52 |

| tim | How do I enable spell checking for another language in Xchat ? | 01:53 |
| cabrioleur | MacTaylor, he is claiming it for years, there is no worry. A scare tactics. | 01:53 |

| MacTaylor | g2g | 01:53 |
| j3kyll | c13paradox : while im looking , are you sure the iso is correct? | 01:53 |
| c13paradox | i did a checksum and it said it was good | 01:53 |
| cabrioleur | tritium, even if it is founded, we got FreeBSD! :-D | 01:53 |
| recurs|ve | mactimes: where is this article? | 01:54 |
| CMind | rryan: trying my live cd... | 01:54 |
| tritium | cabrioleur: I strongly believe they're unfounded. Also, I'd prefer not to have to switch to *BSD. | 01:54 |
| Bitmess | Is Solaris any good? | 01:54 |
| Stroganoff | tim: install language-support-XX | 01:55 |
| Stroganoff | wheres XX is your language code | 01:55 |
| who_ | CMind: Thanks - I'm following a few Ubuntu specific ones, but I seem to be failing after setting the network card to be master. On the other hand - I think the drivers can't do it yet - as the bcm4xxx website says: Access Point mode (not standard compliant and not without external patches) | 01:55 |
| CMind | Bitmess: if you need a rock solid server... solaris is great | 01:55 |
| cabrioleur | tritium, as would Stalin say: Give me a man, and I will give you a paragraph :-) | 01:55 |
| Bitmess | CMind, It looks a lot like Linux | 01:55 |
| j3kyll | c13paradox : (note its a good idea in chat to use a name in the sentence) my suggestion right now would be keep asking or use the forum. Im sorry i can't be of more help. I'll let you know if i find anything | 01:56 |
| tritium | cabrioleur: ? | 01:56 |
| Flannel | bellkana_: You should be able to jump right in, I've never heard of "voluntary translator positions" and I know you don't need to be anything specific. Its likely that those channels just are idle at the moment. I believe its all done through launchpad | 01:56 |
| godfreyhk | hmm, is there a server/JeOS channel for Ubuntu? | 01:56 |
| EcoBlue | Bitmess: Windows server 2008 | 01:56 |
| recurs|ve | any idea why i cant seem to install 7.10, 8.04 kubuntu 7.10 or 8.04 - fails during the kernel step!!! | 01:56 |

| zeeeee | hi, i'm trying to configure my system as an nis/nfs client. for some reason, nfs doesn't quite work, but i can't tell if that's due to nis problems. when i ls the nfs dir, there's a ~1-minute delay, and everything shows up red. i can't access the subdirs - i get "Input/output error" | 01:56 |
| TheViLliN | i am trying to google it | 01:57 |
| Stroganoff | recurs|ve, have you tried noapic and acpi=off? | 01:57 |
| c13paradox | j3kyll: thanks. right now it's sitting at running local boot scripts and that's the farthest it's ever gotten. it's been 45 minutes of that, and i don't know if something is wrong or what | 01:57 |
| cabrioleur | tritium, legal cases are not always based on the truth: Lotus vs Microsoft, Microsoft vs. IBM, IBM vs. Microsoft. It's a legal-economical game often outside the law. Do you remember BeOS? | 01:57 |
| Flannel | TheViLliN: apt-file will search, also packages.ubuntu.com can do it too. If you've already installed the stuff, dpkg -S [/path/to/file] will tell you the package | 01:57 |
| SpudDogg | zeeeee: i had that problem when my HD was on the fritz | 01:57 |

| Niriven | Anyone run itunes in wine? | 01:58 |
| TheViLliN | Flannel: thanks | 01:58 |
| CMind | Bitmess: it's a little different, linux is Unix based. And as far as I know there is two different Unix base, BSD and Solaris... | 01:58 |
| SpudDogg | zeeeee: did you ever get around to setting the HD spindown time in the hdparm conf file? if you read around, alot of people complain that ubuntu kills hard disks | 01:58 |
| cabrioleur | ridge-meister, check for OOo printer management. | 01:58 |

| nikrud | heh | 02:02 |
| charles__ | nikrud, and various others | 02:02 |
| Stroganoff | lusius, why play it as root? | 02:03 |
| ejm | root is not good for everyday activities | 02:03 |
| Stroganoff | lusius: set the correct folder permission so you dont have to use root for savegames and what not | 02:03 |
| cabrioleur | lusius, you are using root! That's a bed idea!!!! | 02:03 |
| EcoBlue | Bitmess: How is CDW? Never dealt with them. | 02:03 |
| ridge-meister | cabrioleur: i don't even know where to find the printer management tool for OO. none of the oo programs are printing, apparently | 02:03 |

| ridge-meister | does OO suck? | 02:04 |

| Bugson | what soft is mounting pendrives, cds, dvds and so on? | 02:05 |

| niocholas_jones | how could I do that? | 02:06 |
| Stroganoff | niocholas_jones: sudo apt-get install glipper | 02:06 |
| niocholas_jones | no way! Stroganoff ! :) | 02:07 |

| oni_ | hi | 02:08 |
| cabrioleur | ridge-meister, nope, but I need more output. Did you run it in the terminal, try to print, and look for stderr output in the terminal. It might say something about it. | 02:08 |
| ridge-meister | EcoBlue: I was thinking the same thing :D | 02:08 |
| EcoBlue | ridge-meister: beat you to it | 02:08 |
| Lokii- | can i get you to power cycle you cell phone3 and see it that fixes your pc | 02:08 |

| hidlan | ChiBoy I didn't see your question | 02:09 |
| recurs|ve | Stroganoff: gave it a shot | 02:09 |
| cabrioleur | EcoBlue, you would be surprised how much solutions they share... | 02:09 |
| Flannel | ChiBoy: You'd have to boot to the SD card to get it to boot. Just opening it isn't going to work | 02:09 |
| lusius | Stroganoff, when i run my samp.exe file i get a "err:x11drv:X11DRV_CreateWindow invalid window width -248" and a big blank window | 02:09 |

| ChiBoy | to sd | 02:10 |
| tim | рриапва п вапв ыа | 02:10 |

| niocholas_jones | Stroganoff, nope :/ | 02:10 |
| niocholas_jones | that's close though | 02:10 |
| SpudDogg | ChiBoy: yea, seriously, read the damn small linux install guide...you will get the basic idea | 02:10 |
| Stroganoff | lusius: is your ~/.wine folder chown'd correctly? (maybe you ran winecfg as root the first time) | 02:11 |
| CMind | Stroganoff: thank you for indirectly teach me some linux/unix history :) | 02:11 |
| zeeeee | SpudDogg, i recently moved my pc to a new network, so my first guess is that that's related to the problem (as opposed to hd issues), but i can simultaneously look into the hd problem. in the meantime, are there any hints on my nis/nfs problem assuming that hd problems aren't causing it? | 02:11 |
| cabrioleur | Stroganoff, then it would be in /root/.wine | 02:11 |
| ridge-meister | cabrioleur: I tried to print my Open Office Spreadsheet file from within the program. I wouldn't have any idea how to get OO to send the print job to the terminal. | 02:11 |
| Stroganoff | cabrioleur i meant with sudo. | 02:12 |
| lusius | Stroganoff, hmm, i could try to chown all | 02:12 |
| zeeeee | SpudDogg, do you have a link to some resource describing the hd issue you're referring to? | 02:12 |
| SpudDogg | zeeeee: not that i know of. i had to replace a sata cable one time, but thats about it. that input/output error has always been a bitch for me | 02:12 |

| fourthdimension | thanks a lot | 02:24 |
| kiru | Lgndryhr: because mounting won't help to access the file system | 02:25 |
| Lgndryhr | kiru: so a 5th generation wont work with gtkpod in Gusty | 02:25 |

| captaingeek | HELP!!! | 02:33 |
| brent113 | fourthdimension: use 'find' | 02:33 |
| jester86 | think the drive is bad? | 02:33 |
| fourthdimension | that will show me strings within files also? | 02:33 |
| TheViLliN | tritium: right on. what is the && doing? | 02:33 |
| Agent_bob | Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices. <<< ? | 02:33 |
| brent113 | fourthd: or you can click places->search for files, then specify file contents | 02:33 |
| fourthdimension | I want to find one line of code in a huge source folder. | 02:33 |
| captaingeek | /var/log/user.log and /var/log/syslog are 22.5GB each!!! | 02:33 |
| fourthdimension | ah. | 02:33 |
| CMind | jester86: I have a bad history with maxtor. Maybe I'm not a reference | 02:33 |
| fourthdimension | thanks. | 02:33 |
| captaingeek | that's 45GB!!! | 02:33 |
| captaingeek | does anyone care?! | 02:33 |
| tritium | TheViLliN: it'll run the second command after the first command completes | 02:34 |
| Lokii- | TheViLliN, the && does the same thing as when you seperate comands with ; | 02:34 |
| jester86 | cmind, if u were me what whould u do? | 02:34 |
| Agent_bob | Lokii- no. | 02:34 |
| jester86 | would* | 02:34 |
| EcoBlue | Seagate 500GB, 32MB Cache, SATA 3.0Gb/s | 02:34 |

| captaingeek | helooooo!! | 02:34 |
| === jamex2k is now known as ph00l1sh | ||
| CMind | get a Seagate or Western Digital instead | 02:34 |
| brent113 | captaingeek: you can delete the logs if you want | 02:34 |
| artenius | captaingeek: delete them? | 02:34 |
| earl | hey guys. I have a vista partition and decided to try to steal some fonts off of it - notably calibri. now when i try to use it it shows up as all boxes. | 02:34 |
| Lokii- | !hi | captaingeek | 02:35 |
| ubotu | captaingeek: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu! | 02:35 |
| TheViLliN | wow, that could come in usefull | 02:35 |
| EcoBlue | earl: install vista | 02:35 |
| earl | what i did was i took the ttf files and put them in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts | 02:35 |
| captaingeek | ok they're deletable? | 02:35 |
| nikrud | earl you put them in ~/.fonts ? | 02:35 |
| earl | ...oh. | 02:35 |
| brent113 | yes, just do it | 02:35 |
| Flannel | captaingeek: Are they not rotating properly? or do you just have that much stuff going on the past 24 hours? | 02:35 |
| earl | that sounds like a much better idea. | 02:35 |
| CMind | jester86: in my experience maxtor are more prone to brake | 02:35 |
| nikrud | earl but I would kinda expect them to work where you put them | 02:35 |
| xyyzzz | I know this isn't strictly a Ubuntu question, but I'd appreciate any help. I just downloaded RealPlayer10GOLD.bin, and when I double click it it asks what the best application is to open it with... | 02:36 |
| Agent_bob | Lokii- exec0 ; exec1 both execute no matter what. exec0 && exec1 exec1 only executes if exec0 returns 0 exit code and exec0 || exec1 exec1 only runs if 0 was exitcode grater than zero | 02:36 |
| jester86 | alright | 02:36 |
| jester86 | thanks cmind | 02:36 |
| xyyzzz | I thought a .bin was a binary, and that it would just... open... | 02:36 |
| xyyzzz | Does anybody have any suggestions? | 02:36 |
| nikrud | earl did you get all the versions of calibri from vista? | 02:36 |
| jester86 | i think i'm gonna order a new one off newegg | 02:36 |
| Lokii- | ah | 02:36 |
| CMind | jester86: still hard drive is not a perfect science. | 02:36 |
| EcoBlue | jester86: Seagate all the way | 02:36 |
| numus | I am trying to install ubuntu 8.04 but it is stuck at the migrate window and i cant click foward | 02:36 |
| Lokii- | good to know agent_bob | 02:37 |
| Flannel | Agent_bob: no, thats backwards. | 02:37 |
| brent113 | xyyzzz: yuo have to set the executable permission | 02:37 |
| nikrud | xyyzzz you need to make the file executable first | 02:37 |
| earl | nikrud: you mean like italics and bold and such? | 02:37 |
| Agent_bob | anyone know what might cause my error ? | 02:37 |
| nikrud | earl yes. | 02:37 |
| Agent_bob | Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices. <<< ? | 02:37 |
| brent113 | xyzzz: cd to the directory and chmod a+x [filename] | 02:37 |
| xyyzzz | o0o0oh... I didn't think of that, thanks nikrud and brent113 :) | 02:37 |
| nikrud | Agent_bob maybe someone on #kubuntu will know | 02:37 |
| xyyzzz | Will give that a go =) | 02:37 |
| Dr_Link | Does Ubuntu come with DVD video codecs installed? (Asked this earlier, was AFK when I got an answer, now I can't get it back 'cause I can't scroll up any higher) | 02:37 |
| Lokii- | xyyzzz or can prolly do sh filename.bin | 02:37 |
| nikrud | !dvd | Dr_Link | 02:38 |
| ubotu | Dr_Link: 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 | 02:38 |
| earl | nikrud: as far as i know... | 02:38 |
| Dr_Link | nikrud: Well, I'm on 7.10. | 02:38 |
| Dr_Link | Not 7.04 | 02:38 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel ? | 02:38 |
| CMind | jester86: My friend is in the data recovery business and he have LOTS of dead maxtor stacked compared to seagate and WD.. Seagate or WD are not a replacement to backup tho ... ;) | 02:38 |
| nikrud | earl it was just an idea, and probably not a good one | 02:38 |
| nikrud | Dr_Link see !medibuntu for 7.10 | 02:39 |
| Flannel | Agent_bob: Hmm, no, it's not backwards. It just defies logic. | 02:39 |
| snarkster | is there anyway to make my sidekick mount with user priviliges all the time? | 02:39 |
| Dr_Link | !medibuntu for 7.10 | 02:39 |
| N37W0rK | does any1 know how to chat to someone through bash? | 02:39 |
| earl | nikrud: there's no ~/.fonts | 02:39 |
| EcoBlue | What do I install to make ubuntu cool and awesome and really good? | 02:39 |
| CMind | jester86: by there I mean that a good hard drive is not a replacement to backups | 02:39 |
| earl | just ~/.fontconfig | 02:39 |
| earl | should i make one? | 02:39 |
| nikrud | earl you'd create it | 02:39 |
| Agent_bob | Flannel any clue on my error ? | 02:39 |
| Agent_bob | Konsole is unable to open a PTY (pseudo teletype). It is likely that this is due to an incorrect configuration of the PTY devices. Konsole needs to have read/write access to the PTY devices. <<< ? | 02:39 |
| snarkster | cause using sudo thunar all the tim eis a pain in the butt | 02:39 |
| artenius | N37W0rK: talk, wall, etc man talk | 02:39 |
| EcoBlue | Agent_bob: you broke it | 02:39 |
| jester86 | yeah i know | 02:39 |
| ridge-meister | anyone here familiar with Open Office printing issues? I can't get my OO Spreadsheet to print | 02:40 |
| earl | okay now what - restart x? reboot? | 02:40 |
| Agent_bob | EcoBlue yeah. just not sure how | 02:40 |
| EcoBlue | Agent_bob: Permission errors afaik | 02:40 |
| brent113 | ridge-meister: what problem are you having? | 02:40 |
| yossman | hi guys, where would i go to get assistance with evolution, is there a specific channel? | 02:41 |
| yossman | evolution's import features are stupid man | 02:41 |
| EcoBlue | Oh man, I booted up ubuntu on my new LCD Monitor, and it set it to the right resolution automatically | 02:41 |
| yossman | its like, 'hey we'll help you migrate away from other tools like outlook and thunderbird, but migrating from one evolution install to another? fu! | 02:41 |
| Agent_bob | EcoBlue changed all /dev/pt* to 666 no change (exception being the mountpoint /dev/pts of course) | 02:41 |
| yossman | 'what would you want to do that for? | 02:41 |
| nikrud | has anyone ever used the open office wysiyg web creator? Just curious | 02:41 |
| EcoBlue | Agent_bob: Why did you do this? what'd you do before this happened? | 02:41 |
| Lokii- | N37W0rK, same guys from soundstream ? | 02:42 |
| ridge-meister | brent113: i can't get OO Calc (spreadsheet) to print. the printer says "receiving data", then nothing happens. the printer doesn't even start the process of printing. am able to print web pages fine with Firefox | 02:42 |
| Agent_bob | EcoBlue i "did this" thinking it might be a permissions issue. | 02:42 |
| brent113 | ridge-meister: other documenta print fine? | 02:42 |
| Agent_bob | EcoBlue i.e. it doesn't seem to be permissions. | 02:42 |
| N37W0rK | huh? | 02:42 |
| Lokii- | are you opn soundstream irc ? | 02:43 |
| N37W0rK | no | 02:43 |
| ridge-meister | brent113: yeap. none of the OO proggies are printing, apparently | 02:43 |
| Lokii- | k same spelling too | 02:43 |
| Agent_bob | EcoBlue more like a missing device node or something. | 02:43 |
| earl | nikrud: okay now what - restart x? reboot? | 02:43 |
| Lokii- | LoL | 02:43 |
| nikrud | earl just run fc-cache in a terminal, should rebuild the font cache | 02:43 |

| Agent_bob | thanks anyway. | 02:45 |

| joeyjojo | its not working | 02:57 |
| xyyzzz | Sorry I meant brent113... | 02:57 |
| Lokii- | tbh i don't like redhat that much | 02:58 |
| xyyzzz | brent113: How do you alien a redhat package to a deb? | 02:58 |
| Lokii- | but | 02:58 |
| Lokii- | i do use there community enterprise server os | 02:58 |
| nikrud | joeyjojo the nvidia driver in ubuntu 7.10 doesn't support the 8800gt, you either need to go to 8.04 or get the driver from nvidia's site | 02:58 |
| joeyjojo | for real? | 02:58 |
| brent113 | xyyzzz: it can be done, I'd focus on getting the bin to work though | 02:58 |
| tim | I got A Video card which non of the Distros support for 3d acceleration it only works in VESA in all of the DISTROS !!!!!!! | 02:58 |
| Lokii- | CEntOS and java get along quite well | 02:58 |
| xyyzzz | =( | 02:58 |
| Lokii- | ls -ls | 02:58 |
| xyyzzz | Back to square one then. | 02:59 |
| xyyzzz | I'm not sure why it's not working... | 02:59 |
| joeyjojo | I am downloading x/ubuntu 8.02 now | 02:59 |
| joeyjojo | =) | 02:59 |
| nikrud | joeyjojo yup. nvidia didn't provide support until after 7.10 was released | 02:59 |
| AnthraxDream | Can anyone help me figure out why my wireless isn't working on ubuntu? | 02:59 |
| xyyzzz | brent113: Do you think it could be because I'm running Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu? Maybe Xubuntu doesn't support it... | 02:59 |
| brent113 | xyyzzz: do a md5sum [file] on that for me, and paste the output | 02:59 |
| AnthraxDream | I've checked FAQs I've searched google | 02:59 |
| MUS4SHIII | anyone know anything about inspiron 1000 Ubuntu sensors | 02:59 |
| AnthraxDream | Everything points to it working | 02:59 |
| AnthraxDream | I just can't connect to a WEP encrypted connection using ubuntu | 02:59 |
| joeyjojo | nikrud: have you tried ubuntu 8.04? is it reasonably stable? | 03:00 |
| nikrud | joeyjojo eh. I'd suggest you go question the people on #ubuntu+1 for details | 03:00 |
| joeyjojo | nikrud: I did try kubuntu w/ kde4 and it was too dam buggy | 03:00 |
| CMind | AnthraxDream: have you tried to put your nic in monitor or promisc mode? | 03:00 |
| nikrud | joeyjojo and will be for some time | 03:00 |
| AnthraxDream | What's that? | 03:00 |
| joeyjojo | yeah, i hear you it is not a final release... YET | 03:00 |
| AnthraxDream | I'm using the latest ubuntu version and it's my first experience with linux | 03:01 |
| CMind | joeyjojo: I'm running 8.04 in a Quad display development environment and it works great! | 03:01 |
| xyyzzz | brent113, it said: ca87acf8e0cdf928cf31ca381acf04f2 RealPlayer10Gold.bin | 03:01 |
| nikrud | joeyjojo I'm thinking of kde4 itself, everything I hear tells me to wait for 4.2 or so to give it an honest chance | 03:01 |
| AnthraxDream | The lack of sound and wireless problems are really turning me off | 03:01 |
| Y-Town | AnthraxDream: What you think of it? | 03:01 |
| xyyzzz | I'm not sure if they were 0's or O's, but I think they were 0's... | 03:01 |
| EcoBlue | I'm just getting used to one LCD | 03:01 |
| brent113 | xyyzzz: mmk, that's what i get to: ok, here's what I do to install it | 03:01 |
| Schmeiz | hey | 03:01 |
| CMind | AnthraxDream: if you dont know what is it.. the card is not in that mode ;) | 03:01 |
| Schmeiz | uhm | 03:01 |
| AnthraxDream | Well how would I go about doing it? | 03:02 |
| joeyjojo | nikrud: ok. I will try 8.04 tomorrow | 03:02 |
| joeyjojo | thanks guys! | 03:02 |
| Schmeiz | is their a way i can nudge the screen location on my monitor without using the monitor buttons? | 03:02 |
| Lokii- | zyyzzz | 03:02 |
| Lokii- | do sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 | 03:02 |
| brent113 | xyyzzz: its sitting on my desktop, I did chmod a+x, then ./Real[rest of filename] | 03:02 |
| Schmeiz | the buttons on my monitor are broken and the resolution i have, the screen is too far to the left and some icons are lost | 03:02 |
| EcoBlue | Schmeiz: you could move your hand, and nudge the monitor | 03:02 |
| EcoBlue | :) | 03:02 |
| Lokii- | then ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin | 03:02 |
| brent113 | xyyzzz: It extracts the files and asks to continue, that's how it should work | 03:02 |
| joeyjojo | good GOD not real player that sux the donkey | 03:02 |
| AnthraxDream | Y-Town: It's really good except for the sound andwireless problems | 03:03 |
| Schmeiz | er | 03:03 |
| xyyzzz | brent113, thanks I will try that | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | zyyzzz | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | do sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | then ./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | will install fine | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | its installing for me right now | 03:03 |
| Schmeiz | i mean is their something inside of ubuntu that will allow me to edit the screen with more than just the resolution | 03:03 |
| brent113 | lokii: what's that | 03:03 |
| EcoBlue | I dunno | 03:03 |
| TheGreatGonzo | yep...that's the ticket.. | 03:03 |
| Schmeiz | cuz the only button that works on my monitor right now is power | 03:03 |
| EcoBlue | Why would you run REALPLAYER? | 03:03 |
| brent113 | you thinkin he's missing some libraries? | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | brent113 he prolly needs that library | 03:03 |
| joeyjojo | yeah why? | 03:03 |
| Lokii- | also i had him trying to execute it with sh | 03:04 |
| CMind | I'm using Xinerama in quad display 1 over 3 and I would like to have the gnome bars in both screen sets... anyone have an idea what option I should put in xorg.conf for that ? | 03:04 |

| joanki | can anyone help me get aim? | 03:04 |
| AnthraxDream | CMind: how do Iput my card in the mode you mentioned? | 03:04 |
| joeyjojo | VLC, Mplayer, anything is better that realcrap networks | 03:04 |
| EcoBlue | joanki: install pidgin | 03:04 |
| Lokii- | joanki download pidgin | 03:04 |
| Lokii- | that is aim | 03:04 |
| * nikrud is verrrry jealous of CMind | 03:04 | |
| TheGreatGonzo | aim? use pigdin..dude. | 03:04 |
| joanki | sudo apt-get install pidgin | 03:04 |
| TheGreatGonzo | pidgin.. | 03:04 |
| TheGreatGonzo | can't type.. | 03:04 |
| Lokii- | actually ubuntu 7.10 comes with it already installed | 03:04 |
| CMind | AnthraxDream: What is your Wifi card? | 03:04 |
| Lokii- | you don't get a choice in the matter | 03:04 |
| joanki | ? | 03:04 |
| EcoBlue | I want pigdin | 03:04 |
| Peddy | can someone please tell me how to install libflashsupport in Gutsy? | 03:04 |
| brent113 | Menu->Internet->Pidgin | 03:05 |
| AnthraxDream | CMind: Realtek something or other | 03:05 |
| Scunizi | !flash | Peddy | 03:05 |
| ubotu | Peddy: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash (for !Dapper and !Edgy, a recent version is available in !backports) - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 03:05 |
| Peddy | Scunizi: so is flash libflashsupport? Apparently I need it to get flash working with Pulseaudio | 03:05 |
| Scunizi | Peddy, are you on Hardy? | 03:06 |
| Peddy | Scunizi: nope, gutsy | 03:06 |
| Scunizi | Peddy, ok.. sorry I don't really have an answer to your question.. but I think you're right.. libflashsupport is flash. | 03:06 |
| Lokii- | are you talking about the flashplayer plugin for ff | 03:06 |
| Schmeiz | so i guess their isn't a way to adjust the screen within ubuntu? ( my monitor buttons no longer work, the desktop is shifted to the left off screen and some buttons are missing, and i need to move it back) | 03:06 |
| xyyzzz | Lokii-: It's asking for my Xubuntu install CD, which I can't find @tm =( | 03:07 |
| xyyzzz | Is there any way I can have it downloaded? | 03:07 |
| Lokii- | apt-get install haha yeah erm | 03:07 |
| Peddy | Scunizi: I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617142&page=2 | 03:07 |
| Lokii- | err | 03:07 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, are you using a lcd or crt | 03:07 |
| Schmeiz | crt | 03:07 |
| Peddy | Scunizi: I am using 64 bit, so this might help | 03:07 |
| nikrud | !gutsysources | xyyzzz | 03:07 |
| ubotu | xyyzzz: gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 03:07 |
| joanki | thanks all i have aim now | 03:07 |
| Schmeiz | Scunizi: CRT | 03:07 |
| Lokii- | xxyyzzz yeah ytou need to edit your repos so it grabs the stuff on the cd from the net | 03:07 |
| Scunizi | Peddy, ah.. 64bit.. sorry.. there are issues there with flash.. maybe someone else can help | 03:07 |
| xyyzzz | Okay, will do that. Thanks nikrud & Lokii- :)) | 03:08 |

| ubotu | Silencedbear: 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. :-) | 03:08 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, no reason your buttons shouldn't work.. Ubuntu shouldn't be able to turn them off.. are they broken? | 03:08 |
| derek | anyone here familiar with virtualbox | 03:08 |
| CMind | AnthraxDream: I need the specific model if your want me to help you | 03:08 |
| Schmeiz | yeah they are broken, like they physically no longer work except for deguass (which is its own button) | 03:08 |
| Schmeiz | i can't bring up the montior menu | 03:08 |
| Schmeiz | to move the image on screen | 03:09 |
| Lokii- | derek i tried to use virtualbox but i kept on getting some errors which i can't remember atm | 03:09 |
| AnthraxDream | Cmind: My bad. Gimme a sec | 03:09 |
| * Lunks gives AnthraxDream | 03:09 | |
| Schmeiz | so i was wondering if i could do it inside ubuntu | 03:09 |
| Lokii- | so i just installed vmware workstation | 03:09 |
| Lokii- | works awesome | 03:09 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, to bad you don't live close I'd give you a new monitor.. there's lots out there for the asking ... crt's that is. | 03:09 |
| Schmeiz | well i like this one because its a really high def CRT | 03:09 |
| Silencedbear | I have ubuntu 7.10. I have tried to install java 6 like 5 times now and even different java's the tea one and it says its installed even when i go to the java site but firefox is asking for a plugin for it and when i select the java 6 it says its already installed Im clueless. I'm a new linux user if anyone has any suggestions or advice i would appreciate it. | 03:09 |
| zcat[1] | Schmeiz: X used to have options for adjusting all the video card/monitor timing .. not sure if that's still accessable though | 03:09 |
| derek | im having a hard time getting my mouse to capture | 03:10 |
| Lunks | I'm having trouble using Zoneminder on Ubuntu. I'm getting some hangs | 03:10 |
| derek | its my first time using it | 03:10 |
| Schmeiz | i've got my resolution at 1600x1200 so i can keep a lot on there. | 03:10 |
| brent113 | lokii: have you tried virtualbox? I used to use vmware, I like vbox a LOT better though | 03:10 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, yea.. I just gave away a 19+" hi res.. | 03:10 |
| AnthraxDream | CMind: Realtek 8185 | 03:10 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, you gotta have good eyes for that.. must be under 30 | 03:10 |
| Schmeiz | lol yeah :P | 03:10 |
| Marupa_ | Is there any way to make gnome-terminal emit a beep through the sound card, on terminal-bell? | 03:10 |
| Lokii- | derek if you want vmware message me privately | 03:10 |
| brent113 | lokii: ah, see your earlier post. thats too bad | 03:10 |
| Lokii- | i could never get vbox to work | 03:11 |
| ka2 | i have vbox working | 03:11 |
| brent113 | I find vbox a LOT more responsive | 03:11 |
| brent113 | plus, vmware doesn't support my usb | 03:11 |
| Scunizi | derek, vmware server is available free off vmware's site.. easy to download and install.. works like a champ | 03:11 |
| Silencedbear | Nikrud well any solutions ? | 03:11 |
| ka2 | vbox is nice | 03:11 |
| Schmeiz | Scunizi: i dont even know why the buttons stopped working, it stopped back in windows XP, when i had my resolution already set and the screen shifted properlly, then one day the buttons just stopped responding | 03:11 |
| sstoveld | hey guys, how do i install a game using wine? such as warcraft 3 or starcraft | 03:11 |
| xyyzzz | Okay, I have to surrender the computer to my brother for the next hour or so. I will try your suggestions after that. | 03:12 |
| brent113 | vmware server can't do multimedia and doesn't support sound. vbox would be a better choice | 03:12 |
| xyyzzz | Thank you all for your help, Lokii-, nikrud & brent113 :) | 03:12 |
| xyyzzz | Have a good day =) | 03:12 |
| brent113 | you too | 03:12 |
| TaRDy | does any1 know what I can do if a command for tcl works on tcl cli first but not in my expect script? | 03:12 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, unplug it and take the case off.. could just be a problem with the switches.. a little contact cleaner or a pencil eraser might fix it. | 03:12 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld there you are AGAIN! :P | 03:12 |
| Silencedbear | anyone can help me troubleshoot this java ? | 03:12 |
| brent113 | !ask | silencedbear | 03:12 |

| Scunizi | WindowSmasher, right click on the upper task bar and choose add to panel | 03:15 |

| ka2 | fa1sal: update manager | 03:16 |

| nclife | I am able to connect to the internet with an ethernet cable but not with a usb 2, is that because of some configuration that I need to change? as in make it a plug-and-play or something of that sort? | 03:19 |
| nikrud | Silencedbear , hm. Lets install what should work, then consider removing stuff: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin | 03:19 |
| Silencedbear | JRE version 1.4.2_02-ea | 03:19 |
| numus | ok why when i try to run ubuntu.. busybox opens | 03:19 |
| brent113 | nclife: any reason you're trying to get internetz out of a usb? | 03:19 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, exit the setup again, we only needed it to generate the structure, now put in whatever game you want to install and type "wine setup of the game.exe" | 03:19 |
| Silencedbear | wait now its saying theres no verison | 03:20 |
| Scunizi | WindowSmasher, looks like an icon that might access "find" or "locate" or tracker.. hard to tell. I think on Ubuntu it's just in a different location unless it's an entirely different app. | 03:20 |
| Schmeiz | Scunizi: lol thanks for the advice, i know :P i've accidently touched one in an old TV and lost feeling in 3 fingers for 2 hours | 03:20 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, you got curley hair too now right? | 03:20 |
| nikrud | !gutsysources | Silencedbear (do this which will allow you to install those packages) | 03:20 |
| ubotu | Silencedbear (do this which will allow you to install those packages): gutsysources is in System->Admin->Software Sources, enable (main) (universe) (restricted) and (multiverse) and disable the Cdrom on the Ubuntu Software tab. On the Updates tab, enable (gutsy-security) and (gutsy-updates). | 03:20 |
| Silencedbear | ok | 03:20 |

| Schmeiz | Scunizi: always had curly hair :P | 03:20 |
| sstoveld | thanks :) | 03:20 |
| brent113 | schmeiz: well did it straighten it then? | 03:21 |
| nclife | brent113, yes, my roomate needs my ethernet cable. | 03:21 |
| Scunizi | Schmeiz, ok.. so now it's straight ;) | 03:21 |
| brent113 | nclife: and what is this usb going to? | 03:21 |

| WindowSmasher | Scunizi: I'm talking about the search bar on top of the menu. Are you following me? | 03:22 |
| nclife | brent113, our modem only has one ethernet and one usb connection | 03:22 |
| Schmeiz | Scunizi: they should really try using that kind of technology with modern day batteries for portable devices. | 03:22 |
| Svenstaro | sstoveld, if you need help or tips at installing something or if you wanna look up if some app is gonna run on Ubuntu, check http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 03:22 |

| TaRDy | hmm I just learned /exit oops | 03:23 |
| Scunizi | WindowSmasher, ah.. gotcha. I had missed that.. looks like an entirely different menu structure.. they just put it in a different place and made it look different. Places/Search for files.. you can create a shortcut for it on a bar someplace. | 03:23 |
| nclife | brent113, well the thing the usb cable won't work at all in my comp, whether someone is using the ethernet or not | 03:23 |
| Silencedbear | nikrud it is already chcecked for those 2 boxes. | 03:23 |

| Svenstaro | tim, there are two drivers you can try, first ones calleD ATI second ones called fglrx | 04:38 |

| Kl4m | murlidhar: or java5, depending on your version | 04:41 |

| brent113 | lapinux: i tried to use swat, too hard for me to learn, so i just went back to webmin | 05:01 |
| Lapinux | brent113: a while back anyway, the last few times i just used the terminal to set it up, i think i remember how i did it :) | 05:02 |
| brent113 | lapinux: plus you can configure it from anywhere! | 05:02 |
| Lapinux | tarelerulz: configuring samba | 05:02 |
| Lapinux | brent113: i will have to look at webmin, i've heard of it but have not used it | 05:03 |
| brent113 | lapinux: it could not be easier to use, I use it on all of my servers | 05:03 |
| Lapinux | brent113: i used swat once, the other times i couldnt figure out why i couldnt access it | 05:03 |
| brent113 | lapinux: if you have any questions on it (i doubt you will though, it's very easy) just lemme know | 05:03 |
| Lapinux | brent113: what else does it do, would it be overkill if im just setting up shares for a local network? | 05:04 |
| tarelerulz | Samba is all ways hard to configure . I used it for sharing in windows and I never could figure out how to make my shares on the network. None of them really tell you much about sharing with windows in particular . | 05:04 |

| brent113 | Lapinux, never hurts to have more | 05:05 |
| brent113 | Lapinux, well webmin also has mdadm support, network support, hardware support, and a ton of other iptables stuff and everything :) | 05:05 |
| Lapinux | tarelerulz: my biggest problem with samba usually ends up with me forgetting to add my local user to it :) | 05:05 |
| Lapinux | brent113: i'm gonna see what google can tell me about webmin | 05:06 |
| tarelerulz | Well, Say I just wanted to share on my lan and I don't want a user login at all. Like when you share with windows. How do you set that up ? | 05:06 |
| nickrud | !webmin | Lapinux | 05:07 |
| ubotu | Lapinux: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead. | 05:07 |
| Lapinux | oh, thats nice :) | 05:07 |
| Lapinux | it sounded so good | 05:07 |
| Lapinux | !ebox | 05:07 |
| ubotu | ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec | 05:07 |
| tarelerulz | Lapinux: do you ever use samba to share with windows? | 05:08 |
| Lapinux | tarelerulz: i have before, and thats what im getting ready to do | 05:08 |
| brent113 | pshh, true, it only supports tar.gz installs, but if you're up to it it's awesome | 05:08 |
| tarelerulz | Lapinux: the funny part about that there is not much documents on that . Why use samba if not to share with windows ,but I have never read much on doing that | 05:09 |
| brent113 | I'm sure ebox is very nice, i've never used it though. we use webmin at work too (i work at oregon state university, 20,000 people use it) | 05:09 |

| ChaosParser | xb3rt: ISPs tend to see that sort of thing as the first part of an attack. :) | 05:20 |
| tarelerulz | I have been trying to use q dvd author and I keep getting the sound being out of sync . It does have about fix error or anything . | 05:20 |
| nickrud | bluebanana if you rebooted between saving and trying to load again, it is almost certainly gone | 05:21 |
| bluebanana | nickrud: there's a space in the name. | 05:21 |
| nickrud | bluebanana search for part of the name, locate searches for substrings | 05:21 |
| Woxdee | xb3rt: Yeah. If it's a school/university connection you're somewhat safe in the mingle of the mass of users, but I wouldn't do it to my ISP from my home connection if I were you. Some/most have strict rules about that stuff and tend to complain. | 05:21 |

| noclue | I've been having issues with color on a new 28" LCD through an NVIDIA 6600GS AGP using both nvidia-glx and nvidia-glx-new drivers. The problem is resolved by enabling "Force Full GPU Scaling" in the nvidia-settings app, but the problem comes back after restarting X. When I start the nvidia-settings app again, the problem goes away. Any ideas? | 05:22 |
| D|sToRt|oN | any one know how i can conver avi files to IPOD ? in Ubuntu | 05:22 |

| Zimbo | Hi guys... quick question... is there any software (commercial or free) for Ubuntu similar to Delorme's Street Atlas USA or Microsoft's Streets & Trips? | 05:22 |
| nickrud | bluebanana updatedb refreshes the database to search, you can run locate <something> multiple times without rerunning updatedb | 05:22 |
| xb3rt | Woxdee: If I'm just nosing around harmlessly for a learning experience, I don't see what the problem would be, and lets say I was an attacker..I would just straight up attack | 05:23 |
| brandonc503 | how would i update my video card drivers in terminal? | 05:23 |
| brent113 | Zimbo: not that I know of. I'd recommend trying Wine with that software | 05:23 |
| D|sToRt|oN | i love beryl | 05:23 |
| Woxdee | xb3rt: I think what response you elicit from them will depend heavily on how aggressive the scan is and what kind. If you're just mapping out hosts and routes at a decent pace it's probably not much of a problem, but version detection and full-range portscans will probably raise flags. | 05:23 |
| D|sToRt|oN | off the hook | 05:23 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: I hear you, it's awwesome | 05:23 |
| Zimbo | Thanks Brent113 | 05:23 |
| bluebanana | nickrud: i rebooted between.... it's gone 8-( | 05:23 |
| nickrud | bluebanana yes, on case | 05:23 |
| brent113 | Zimbo: another option is running windows in a virtual machine and using that only for the software | 05:23 |
| xb3rt | Woxdee: maybe i should give em a call first and see what they'll let me do | 05:24 |
| nickrud | bluebanana yes, tmp gets cleaned out each boot. | 05:24 |
| D|sToRt|oN | brentll3 you got Emerald theme manager ? | 05:24 |
| lanoxx | erat123: can nvidia-settings be run from the console? | 05:24 |
| bluebanana | nickrud: no!!! | 05:24 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: I do, I use it with Compiz-Fusion though | 05:24 |
| bltrout | Is anyone using vde and a natted tun to connect multiple kvm guests to each other and the internet? If so, I could rather use some help. | 05:24 |
| bluebanana | nickrud: i should have NOT just clicked the save button. Is hould have saved the file in my home directory with a new name! 8-( | 05:24 |
| D|sToRt|oN | yea compizconfig is beryl ? i thought | 05:24 |
| erat123 | lanoxx: no, it's for gui only. sorry, i read your question wrong at the start. i'm not very good with editing xorg.conf by hand yet | 05:25 |
| nickrud | bluebanana a true statement. I've been bit by that before also | 05:25 |
| D|sToRt|oN | well thats wot i got from the Tut i followed | 05:25 |
| Woxdee | xb3rt: That's polite, but it may be easier to ask forgiveness than permission, if you're really curious and don't do anything that might be perceived as harmful or malicious. | 05:25 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: Ok, quick history compiz and beryl started off as 2 competing products, then recently they merged into compiz-fusion. essentially they do the exact same things | 05:25 |
| Woxdee | well.. it's your connection, do what you like ;p | 05:25 |
| D|sToRt|oN | any one know how to Encode Avi files to IPOD? | 05:25 |
| xb3rt | Woxdee: thats true, | 05:25 |
| D|sToRt|oN | Oh | 05:25 |
| D|sToRt|oN | ok | 05:25 |

| bluebanana | how do i put trash icon on desktop? | 05:30 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: hey now, Windows has its place. It mandated the use of GUIs for software and emphasized usability. Now though it's becoming largely phased out | 05:30 |
| lanoxx | xb3rt: go ahead | 05:31 |
| rryan | brent113: I doubt that it has mandated the use of GUI's :). Most computers had GUI's for applications before windows existed. | 05:31 |
| D|sToRt|oN | <tarelerulz> well ive been googleing and all i get are these rly complicated tutorials | 05:32 |
| tgelter | when I play movies with vlc, I get no sound, when I play with totem-xine, I do. Error w/ vlc is: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | 05:32 |
| brent113 | rryan: It made popular the use of graphical desktops and certainly advanced computing at the time | 05:32 |
| brent113 | rryan: now that ubuntu and others are writing guis for everthing though it's only a matter of time. muahhahaha | 05:33 |
| lanoxx | xb3rt: wait a mom | 05:34 |
| tarelerulz | D|sToRt|oN I feel you about googling stuff and getting no where. I do that a lot and It takes me days of putting stuff in before I find something useful. I swear most the time I put in the same stuff ,but I get a useful hit out of the blue | 05:34 |
| Zimbo | rryan: Windows exposed the greatest number of people to GUIs. There were Macs and Amigas and X terminals, but PCs had already come to largely dominate. | 05:34 |
| Lokii- | actually you can argue the fact that a gui was macs iea and everyone else in the borld copied them | 05:34 |
| rryan | brent113: I doubt any sane person would advocate non-graphical desktops for non-technical users. many flavors of Unix like SCO and IRIX, Apple, and Xerox were making graphical workstations before Microsoft :). To be fair, Ubuntu is not writing any GUI's; most existed beforehand... Canonical is providing some sever spit-n-shine to all of it though presenting it in a package that non-technical people can grok. | 05:34 |
| Lokii- | macintosh pc'd did have a gui when dos was still in its infancy | 05:35 |
| rryan | severe* | 05:35 |
| tarelerulz | Zimbo , Have you seen an Amigas in modern times ? Do they still get made | 05:35 |
| D|sToRt|oN | right now im trying to WIne AnyiMax iPod Video Converter | 05:35 |
| D|sToRt|oN | lol but it wont run | 05:35 |
| brent113 | rryan: This is very true, I don't disagree at all with that. It's worth noting of course Window's affect on advancing GUI development for everyone | 05:35 |
| Zimbo | Lokii: Yeah, and Apple copied Xerox, who copied ???, who copied ??? -- you can go on and on; the idea of GUIs didn't originate with any one person or company. On the other hand, I think it is fair to say that Microsoft seems better at examining successful techniques (as used in GUIs, etc.) and copying them than doing a whole lot of innovating themselves... but they do try. :-) | 05:35 |

| Zimbo | tarelerulz: I haven't owned an Amiga since, umm... about 1996? :-) ...although I went to the Vintage Computer fair back in something like 2002 or 2003 and saw a couple of the more modern Amigas. | 05:36 |
| nickrud | izaq for that card you need the newer ati from their site, it's not supported by the driver in ubuntu | 05:37 |
| rryan | brent113 : Well... development-wise I would say they've done a disservice to GUI development, what with VB and the like... I don't think their influence was in GUI basied apps, but just providing a standard platform that was relatively consistent across versions.. software developers could target it and have reasonable assurances of portability across versions and so on... so that really helped the advancement of the | 05:37 |
| rryan | home PC | 05:37 |
| nickrud | brent113 heh. It was no big deal when there were no support requests | 05:37 |
| Silencedbear | Anyone good with sound devices ? | 05:37 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: what is your problem? | 05:37 |
| Silencedbear | Well it was working before and now it's not not really sure whats going on i looked at alsa mixer nothings muted or anything. | 05:38 |
| ihmSelbst | who is my nickname on this irc-server? | 05:38 |
| izaq | is not working with that driver form ATI also | 05:38 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: So ALSA is still the chosen mixer? | 05:38 |
| Zimbo | rryan: Visual Basic was great from a developer's perspective -- it allowed far faster development of GUI-based program than pretty much anything else to date. Certainly lots of VB programs are crap, but so are plenty of apps in any other language too. | 05:38 |

| lachlan_ | #pcbsd | 05:39 |
| Lokii- | yeah yeah i know | 05:39 |
| Lokii- | you really have no idea how much i hold back | 05:39 |
| nickrud | taime1 gconf-editor /apps/nautilus/desktop , enable the trash | 05:39 |
| Lokii- | some is bound to slip out though | 05:39 |
| taime1 | nickrud: ah, gconf | 05:40 |
| taime1 | i always forget | 05:40 |
| rryan | zimbo : Sigh... I agree ... on the making development easy thing... | 05:40 |
| nickrud | taime1 it's your ticket to ride gnome! | 05:40 |
| rryan | zimbo : but VB apps are so crappily written... it'd be better if they just couldn't write them :) | 05:40 |
| nickrud | if ya'll want to discuss windows stuff, there's always ##trash ;) | 05:41 |
| Zimbo | rryan: One last comment before I get booted for being off-topic... visit worsethanfailure.com sometime and you'll see that crappy program abound in all programming language and have a lot more to do with the person who wrote them than the language they chose to implement them in. | 05:41 |
| Zimbo | worsethanfailure.com is great ego boost for anyone who actually gives a damn about software quality :-) | 05:41 |
| taime1 | i noticed that the index file that comes with icon themes gives no info about choosing specific icons for each menu entry etc... is there a master list that gnome refers to? one that i can use to name my icons properly so that they are displayed in menus, etc properly? | 05:41 |
| tgelter | when I play movies with vlc, I get no sound, when I play with totem-xine, I do. Error w/ vlc is: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave | 05:42 |
| rryan | Zimbo : hehe yea i'm a fan of worsethanfailure. | 05:42 |
| nickrud | taime1 there's a naming convention used in the theme packs, I think gnome-look.org has some tutorials | 05:42 |
| taime1 | tgelter: you might try adjusting vlc to not use alsa | 05:42 |
| taime1 | nickrud: thanks again. :) | 05:43 |
| arooni | is there a rdiff-backup package for ubuntu? | 05:43 |
| tgelter | taimel: but other apps use alsa with no problems, that's what's weird | 05:43 |
| taime1 | tgelter: its a good workaround so that you dont go nuts, while searching for a permanent fix ;) | 05:43 |
| Silencedbear | anyone else know about sounds ? | 05:44 |

| brent113 | Silencedbear: What specific problems are you having, just no sound? | 05:45 |
| nickrud | Flannel I believe in full disclosure :) | 05:45 |
| Silencedbear | Yea i had it earlier. And now it just doesn't want to work only sound is pc beep. | 05:46 |
| brent113 | Flannel: not t3h sekritz! | 05:46 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: when did this happen, did you install any packages or play with any settings? | 05:46 |
| Zimbo | In the regular Ubuntu 7.10 with Gnome, it isn't realistic to get rid of the the bottom taskbar, is it? I wish I could stick it along, e.g., the side of the screen, but the only other play it wants to really doc is the top of the screen where it doesn't fit at all | 05:46 |
| Zimbo | only other place | 05:46 |
| Zimbo | it wants to really dock | 05:46 |
| Silencedbear | Java | 05:47 |
| ppcguy | hey all, question. anyone know of a good open source vpn client that will work well with sonic wall's vpn solution? | 05:47 |
| Zimbo | For that matter, does anyone have a link to one of those "show us your Ubuntu desktop!" sites where I could take a look at some of the options? | 05:47 |
| cpk1 | how would I configure dhcpd to have 2 netblocks on one interface? (To have a trusted IP's zone and untrusted IP | 05:47 |
| cpk1 | 's zone) | 05:47 |
| cpk1 | accidently pressed enter =X | 05:47 |
| n2diy | Zimbo: right click on the talkbar, then properties, and put it where you want. At least that's how it works in Dapper. | 05:47 |
| n2diy | talkbar/taskbar | 05:48 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: hmm, that shouldn't change anything related to sound. Hold on while I look into this further | 05:48 |
| rryan | Zimbo : can't you right click the bar nad hit 'delete this panel' ? | 05:48 |
| Silencedbear | ok well maybe theres something i messed up im good at that who knows really. | 05:48 |
| Flannel | Zimbo: http://gnome-look.org/ | 05:48 |
| taime1 | why does gconf show options as being toggled incorrectly? is it because those options were changed using another method? | 05:48 |
| Zimbo | Ah, thanks n2diy! For some reason dragging it to the left didn't make it stick | 05:48 |
| Flannel | Zimbo: also, I believe the forums (ubuntuforums.org) has a section about that | 05:48 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: how did you install Java? With Synaptic? | 05:48 |

| backtracker | cpk1: but there I can see only LAN IP | 05:49 |
| cpk1 | backtracker: oh wait, you arent connected directly to the modem ar you? | 05:49 |
| Zimbo | I do like the "gravity" that Compiz (?) provides | 05:49 |
| Silencedbear | um tbh im not even sure i had to take out the java and than change a file name to make it work or something to that affect i had help from someone else. | 05:49 |

| backtracker | but no way by a cmd? | 05:50 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: Well, I feel compelled to ask. Have you tried to use OSS? If it works for what you need it may be easier to use that | 05:50 |
| Silencedbear | Not yet. | 05:51 |
| Zimbo | Will I be accused of being a Windows Luser if I drag the Applications/Places/System bar to the bottom of the screen? :-) | 05:51 |
| FAJALO1 | i have a question about the gui | 05:51 |
| adelie42 | Is there any reason why I can only get certain 'shift accessible' characters using the left shift, but not the right? | 05:51 |
| brent113 | Silencedbear: Try switching to OSS and let me know what happens. If you need help with that let me know too. | 05:51 |
| Silencedbear | I dont know what to look for other than sound died. so that kinda limits my search. | 05:51 |
| FAJALO1 | my friend is trying to install, ubuntu, but he's being stuck in the tty | 05:51 |
| n2diy | Zimbo: not by me, my taskbar and toolbar are both at the bottom of the screen. That's where I'm used to looking for them, and the first thing I do when I setup a Ubuntu/linux box. | 05:52 |
| brandonc503 | so i downloaded .run file from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_x86_71.86.04.html and when i type sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.04-pkg1.run like it says and i get sh: Can't open NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.04-pkg1.run | 05:53 |

| alan_m | zimbo, i use kubuntu so naturally all my stuff is at the bottom as well ;) | 05:53 |
| FAJALO1 | tried the whole sudo dpkg-reconfigure xerver-xorg | 05:53 |
| FAJALO1 | but nothing | 05:53 |
| Zimbo | ok, thanks guys | 05:53 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: That's because it needs to be executable. First though, try using the Restricted Drivers Manger | 05:54 |
| Zimbo | I actually used KDE with Mandriva for awhile but figured I ought to give Gnome its due too... it has grown on me a bit as I've been using it more | 05:54 |
| brandonc503 | brent113: how do i make it executable? | 05:54 |
| alan_m | gnome does grow on you once you get used to it Zimbo :) | 05:54 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: cd to the directory it's in, then chmod a+x [filename] | 05:54 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: For NVidia Drivers though, you really should use the manager. Click System->Administration, then open the Restricted Manager and check the box | 05:55 |

| brent113 | justin007827_: what's that? | 06:00 |
| === LCK is now known as lkc | ||
| kindofabuzz | somehow i have a folder in my /home named file:, inside of it is /home but empty, i didn't create that | 06:00 |
| xybr2 | I'm trying to set my ubuntu box as a temp wifi access point/router, I keep searching the forums but I dont find much useful | 06:00 |
| justin007827_ | I'm trying to find a way to enable internet sharing on my box | 06:00 |
| === [1]SuperSayjin is now known as SuperSayjin | ||
| Starnestommy | arooni: libacl1-dev | 06:00 |
| justin007827_ | and the online documentation is poor | 06:00 |
| brent113 | justin007827_: look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 | 06:01 |
| fdr- | hello guys. | 06:01 |

| justin007827_ | k, i'll check it out. its on a macbook pro. trying to share the wifi i pick up via ethernet | 06:01 |
| fdr- | I have a baffling performance regression with git on hardy | 06:01 |
| lanoxx__ | modprobe nvidia get me this error: Not loading nvidia_new module; not used in /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 06:01 |
| brent113 | justin007827_: hmm, that's pretty complex, but I think that tutorial will help you with that | 06:02 |
| lanoxx__ | any idea what it means? | 06:02 |
| justin007827_ | I tried that one, and i lost my internet all together | 06:02 |
| tarelerulz | Can you use k3b to burn a dvd directory to a iso ? or burn a dvd directory to a dvd ? | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | is there anyway to see what made a folder? | 06:02 |
| sap | Hi, how do i uninstall a manually installed program? like pidgin ? | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | or who? | 06:02 |
| brent113 | lanoxx__: why are you modprobing Nvidia? | 06:02 |
| kindofabuzz | sap: sudo apt-get remove --purge pidgin | 06:02 |
| xybr2 | sap, define manually | 06:02 |
| D|sToRt|oN | i need to athorize virtualbox for use with my username or some thing | 06:03 |
| D|sToRt|oN | :S | 06:03 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: because i want be nvidia binary driver to work | 06:03 |
| lanoxx__ | the* | 06:03 |
| justin007827_ | would the fact that I am using Atheros hal instead of mad wifi have anything to do ? | 06:03 |
| brent113 | sap: if you installed it from source you will need to make uninstall or something like that | 06:03 |
| brent113 | lanoxx__: Have you used the Restricted Driver Manager? | 06:03 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah go to the source directory and do sudo make uninstall? | 06:03 |
| sap | kindofabuzz, xybr2, brent113 yeh i installed the altest version from source but now need to upgrade it again | 06:03 |
| xybr2 | My computer has a wwifi card that works wonderfully, and a ethernet card plugged into my modem, I want my other laptop to be able to access the internet wirelessly | 06:03 |
| co_asik | hallo, can i join with you ? | 06:04 |
| brent113 | lanoxx__: First remove the current driver, then install the Manager version | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | i think pidgin has deb files..try getdeb.net | 06:04 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: yes, and it pretty much suxx rocks. i killed my x server with it at least each time i tried to acctivate the driver. gave it up eventually and used the binary driver from the nvidia homepage. but i figure it wont work either | 06:04 |
| xybr2 | sap, did you keep the source directory in src? | 06:04 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah getdeb.net has the 2.4 pidgin | 06:05 |
| fismoll8 | hey guys, is there any way to get a list of all the packages one has installed on one's linux box, make a text file out of the list, and then issue a command on a new linux box that will reference the text file and download all the packages therin? I use ubuntu | 06:05 |
| brent113 | lanoxx__: So what steps have you taken so far so I don't repeat anything unnecessary | 06:05 |
| D|sToRt|oN | any one here uber with virtualbox and ubuntu ??? | 06:05 |
| sap | xybr2, src? whats that? i deleated the source files i guess | 06:05 |
| === xp_gone is now known as xp_pr | ||
| justin007827_ | brent113, I had no luck with that tutorial. Its well written, but it breaks my network. My conection is at Ath0 when i run ifconfig, is this ok? | 06:05 |
| === xp_pr is now known as xp_prg | ||
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: yes, I basically do that | 06:05 |
| brent113 | justin007827_: hmm, I'm not sure with that. Other than that tutorial, I'm not sure what to say. | 06:06 |
| fismoll8 | I want to use synaptic on a new linux box to download all the packages I currently have installed on my home ubuntu box; can I create a list of all the packes I have on my current linux box, create a text file out of it, then have my new linux box reference the text file and download all the files therein? | 06:06 |
| D|sToRt|oN | brent113 will you look at this screen shot ? it exsplains my problem | 06:06 |
| justin007827_ | its ok. I know its not an easy issue | 06:06 |
| justin007827_ | I'll post somethin g on there | 06:06 |
| brent113 | fismoll8: Yes, you can create a line structured like sudo apt-get install [package list] | 06:06 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: tried to load the nvida module, it failed, having nvidia-config configure my xorg.conf broke the x server, i restored a backup and now im back to where i was at the beginning. | 06:06 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: sure | 06:07 |
| fismoll8 | I know I can just copy and paste all the packages...but is there any way to dump them into a text file, and use sudo apt-get install "everything in text file" | 06:07 |
| xybr2 | sap, I think you can download the latest source and run make uninstall, then install packages using apt next time | 06:07 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: http://www.pastebin.org/25408 (xorg.conf log file) http://www.pastebin.org/25409 (xorg.conf) | 06:07 |
| brandonc503 | how do i update with the restricted drivers manager | 06:07 |
| D|sToRt|oN | http://img411.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotcl4.png | 06:08 |
| sap | xybr2, hmm.. which directory shall i run "make uninstall" in? and also if i install from repos it gives me the old version so i'll have to install from source | 06:08 |
| xybr2 | Do I just need to set up DHCP on my ubuntu box to allow other computers to connect to it and get an ip? | 06:08 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-modules | 06:08 |
| D|sToRt|oN | ok | 06:09 |
| xybr2 | sap, you're looking for the latest, huh? You need to run sudo make uninstall in the extracted source directory | 06:09 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: then execute the command it lists after that: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start | 06:09 |
| n2diy | fismoll8: open Synaptic, and check its File menu? | 06:09 |
| D|sToRt|oN | mike@Ubuntu-computer:~$ /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start | 06:10 |

| kindofabuzz | sap: getdeb has the pidgin 2.4 .deb, isn't that the newest? | 06:10 |
| D|sToRt|oN | mike@Ubuntu-computer:~$ | 06:10 |
| sap | xybr2, yes i'm looking at the latest. k will look for the directory | 06:10 |
| D|sToRt|oN | my bad | 06:10 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: you need to sudo it, sorry | 06:10 |
| sap | kindofabuzz, is there one for fiesty? i guess last time i checked it was 2.2 for fiesty | 06:10 |
| D|sToRt|oN | done | 06:10 |
| brent113 | D|sToRt|oN: is that working now? | 06:10 |
| D|sToRt|oN | leme try | 06:10 |
| fismoll8 | hey guys, if you can get a listing of all packages installed on your linux box...then all you really need to do to back it up is to save the package list and backup /home and /etc, no? | 06:10 |
| D|sToRt|oN | :D | 06:10 |
| JDSBlueDevl | hi, I'm having a problem burning a DVD I authored. I'm trying to run dvdrecord under QDVDAuthor, but I'm getting an error message of "cannot open /dev/sg*" | 06:11 |
| JDSBlueDevl | does anyone know what that means? | 06:11 |
| kindofabuzz | sap: i don't think it matters what version you're on | 06:11 |
| brent113 | fismoll8: theres a lot of configurations too, you should back up your /home directory too | 06:11 |
| fismoll8 | basically, all you need to backup on the computer are directories where you've tweaked configuration files, text files, etc | 06:11 |
| fismoll8 | I agree brent | 06:11 |
| sap | kindofabuzz, hmm.. if i remember correctly i wasnt able to install .deb for gusty | 06:11 |
| kindofabuzz | sap: forget that | 06:11 |
| fismoll8 | that's what I'm saying. All you need to backup is /home and /etc | 06:11 |
| === dgtlchlk is now known as dgtl|screen | ||
| bluebanana | hi, folks. How can I use one of the methods on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery to undelete my /tmp/ folder. PLease help. | 06:11 |
| D|sToRt|oN | brent113 gimme a few comps slow encodeig | 06:12 |
| D|sToRt|oN | ing* | 06:12 |
| kindofabuzz | yeah only 2.2 for fiesty, why not upgrade to gutsy? =) | 06:12 |
| sap | kindofabuzz k | 06:12 |
| fismoll8 | especially if you use ubuntu, like me...since you can install all your packages again quite easily using synaptic | 06:12 |
| fismoll8 | nonetheless, it still makes sense to backup usr and other folders...in case you screw up a command in the terminal | 06:12 |
| D|sToRt|oN | brent113 nope same error | 06:13 |
| JDSBlueDevl | oh, nvm, realized from cdrecord -scanbus that the program looked in the wrong place for my DVD burner | 06:13 |
| D|sToRt|oN | oh i need to log off | 06:13 |
| D|sToRt|oN | n back on | 06:13 |
| brent113 | fismoll8: another cool thing about linux, if you ever move to another distro or have to re-install (never should have to though) you can move your home directory and all your things will be there | 06:13 |
| D|sToRt|oN | i remeber thar | 06:13 |
| D|sToRt|oN | that | 06:13 |
| D|sToRt|oN | dame keyboard | 06:13 |
| fismoll8 | YUP | 06:13 |
| fismoll8 | the home directory is key, although I do have some things in my .bashrc that I would like to take with me | 06:14 |
| n2diy | fismoll8: isn't .bashcr in your /home directory? | 06:15 |
| fismoll8 | anyone know how to pipe a list created by dpkg -l into a text file? | 06:15 |
| fismoll8 | oh yeah n2diy; you're right | 06:15 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, now I have a new error. dvdrecord is saying that i have an "input/output error" | 06:15 |
| fismoll8 | though /etc also has a copy | 06:15 |
| fismoll8 | I never edit it though | 06:15 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl, you could use k9copy to burn it into and iso and use k3b to burn it onto a dvd | 06:16 |
| fismoll8 | I generally try to keep copies of any config files I've tweaked in my home direcotyr | 06:16 |
| JDSBlueDevl | QDVDAuthor already made the iso | 06:16 |
| oshiii-_^ | fismoll8, you could do dpkg -l >textfile | 06:16 |
| brandonc503 | brent113: i did that cmod thing and when i open goes into gedit and says it cant open it | 06:16 |
| JDSBlueDevl | so all I have to do is go into K3b, select "burn ISO to DVD", and let it burn? | 06:16 |
| fismoll8 | ah, the > sign; I had forgotten that; thanks oshiii | 06:16 |
| brandonc503 | brent113: chmod a+x NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.04-pkg1.run; | 06:16 |
| oshiii-_^ | np | 06:16 |
| JDSBlueDevl | will that burn it into video format or data? | 06:16 |
| brent113 | Brandon__: This is a binary file, open it in the terminal | 06:17 |
| brandonc503 | duh | 06:17 |
| brandonc503 | k | 06:17 |
| brent113 | Brandon__: cd to it and sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.04-pkg1.run | 06:17 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl , I don't know I was about to do the same thing myself | 06:17 |
| tarelerulz | I think iso is all the same | 06:17 |
| Lapinux | wow, that was great | 06:18 |
| brandonc503 | brent113: says im running an x server | 06:18 |
| Lapinux | i installed ebox and it instantly killed my network connection | 06:18 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: you are and will need to quit it. Have you tried using the Restricted Drivers Manager? It will save you from all this trouble | 06:19 |
| kindofabuzz | anyone know anything about xulrunner? | 06:19 |
| JDSBlueDevl | also, my iso says it's 1.6 GB, yet when I authored, analysis said it would take up 80% of the DVD. Is there something missing in the ISO, or is it just compressed? | 06:19 |
| bluebanana | how do i undelete contents of a folder? | 06:20 |
| brent113 | bluebanana: Did you accidentally delete something permanently, aka not in the trash? | 06:21 |
| fismoll8 | my god, the more I learn about linux, the more amazing it gets | 06:21 |
| n2diy | bluebanana: it depends, how did you delete them? | 06:21 |
| brent113 | fismoll8: tru dat | 06:21 |
| fismoll8 | I mean, everything becomes so much easier | 06:21 |
| fismoll8 | linux and vim have changed my life more or less | 06:21 |
| brent113 | haha, I'm not up to vim yet | 06:21 |
| brent113 | still sacred of it | 06:21 |
| brent113 | scared | 06:21 |
| fismoll8 | where are all our desktop settings saved? | 06:22 |
| JDSBlueDevl | so, is a DVD ISO compressed or true size of what is to be copied to the disk? | 06:22 |
| fismoll8 | are those in /home as well? | 06:22 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl: I am glad someone beside me is trying to do that. I have been ripping and trying to make dvd and Iso for days getting all this worked out | 06:22 |
| brent113 | JDSBlueDevl: it is the real size | 06:22 |
| n2diy | brent113: both word are appropriate! | 06:22 |
| bluebanana | brent113: kinda hard to explain.... i was working on a spreadsheet in google_docs. i exported to ODS. Firefox opened the file. I was working on that ODS file in OO Calc (offline... on my comp). I clicked save in OO calc. I closed Fx. I closed OO calc. I went back to OO calc. Recent documents | tmp/myfile.ods shows error "cannot find file". | 06:22 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: i removed a cupple of the restricted drivers and now i get: sh: /sbin/lrm-video: not found | 06:22 |
| bluebanana | n2diy: see above | 06:22 |
| csb | \join #freebsd | 06:22 |
| csb | sorry | 06:22 |
| JDSBlueDevl | ok, that scares me a bit, b/c I'm now worried that not everything is in the ISO | 06:23 |
| CVD-PR | Why update-manager dont have the gnome 2.22? | 06:23 |
| JDSBlueDevl | how do I check the iso before burning it? | 06:23 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl, I know some program compress the dvd to 4.5 . I normal dvd you buy is like 10 gb | 06:23 |
| brandonc503 | brent113: the restricted drivers manager dosent give a way to update the drive, that i can find, i want to make sure that i have the moset recent and accurate | 06:23 |
| brent113 | JDSBlueDevl: you can open the iso like an archive, or you can mount it as a folder | 06:23 |
| n2diy | bluebanana: Not familiar with google_docs!? | 06:23 |
| brandonc503 | brent113: it will only let me enable or disable | 06:23 |
| CVD-PR | ? | 06:23 |
| bluebanana | n2diy: it's basically an online version of Office. | 06:23 |
| DShepherd | CVD-PR, Ubuntu Gusty will only implement bug fixes. Hardy will have the new gnome | 06:24 |
| bluebanana | n2diy: it's Google's version. | 06:24 |
| JDSBlueDevl | how do I mount the ISO? | 06:24 |
| tarelerulz | glad you asked | 06:24 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: This is true, but if you use update manager it will update it to the most recent version in the repositories | 06:24 |
| fismoll8 | does anyone know in which folder desktop settings are saved in? | 06:24 |
| fismoll8 | are they typically in /home? | 06:24 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: If you really want to do it through the bin, that's fine, but you need to get ready for a lot of terminal action | 06:24 |
| tarelerulz | http://www.tech-recipes.com/linux_tips857.html | 06:24 |
| n2diy | bluebanana: Roger that. Sorry you didn't have it backed up locally. | 06:25 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl: the links I post tell you have to mount iso files | 06:25 |
| DShepherd | JDSBlueDevl, sudo mount -t iso9660 iso-name.iso /mount/point -o loop | 06:25 |
| bluebanana | brent113: n2diy. i'm going to bed. so please send me the messages in such a way that when I log back on again, i can get them, okie dokie? thank you very much. | 06:25 |
| DShepherd | JDSBlueDevl, you can read what tarelerulz sent you also | 06:25 |
| brent113 | was bluebanana talking about..email? | 06:25 |
| tarelerulz | That is what I use to mount all the iso I have made. So, I know it works | 06:26 |
| JDSBlueDevl | I guess I have to mkdir /mount/point first? | 06:26 |
| n2diy | bluebanana, ok, I don't know how to do that, so GN. | 06:27 |
| brent113 | n2diy: yea, seriously haha | 06:27 |
| DShepherd | JDSBlueDevl, maybe :-) | 06:27 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: i removed a cupple of the restricted drivers and now i get: sh: /sbin/lrm-video: not found | 06:27 |
| brent113 | DShepherd and JDSBlueDevl: there are nautilus scripts that I use that make mounting and unmounting isos a 1 click procedure, if you're interested | 06:27 |
| tarelerulz | it is pretty simple once you know how to mount and iso | 06:27 |
| JDSBlueDevl | please do send, would be interested | 06:28 |
| n2diy | brent113, must be on the Winders request list? | 06:28 |
| brent113 | lanoxx__: hmm, I have not seen this error message before, not sure what to say. You could sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver, that should restore the x11 to it's original state | 06:28 |
| helpfromu | hi gurus | 06:29 |
| belkinhelp2 | ok, i just installed a package called NTP but I still cannot synchronize my clock. Where is the switch to activate the previous package NTP? | 06:29 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: hmm, well its working with the origianl config now, though thats not what i want | 06:29 |
| brent113 | Lanoxx: well, for reference the command is sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:29 |
| n2diy | belkinhelp2: right click on your clock, and then preferences. | 06:29 |
| brent113 | Lanoxx: in case things break beoyond conventional repair | 06:29 |
| helpfromu | terminal program in ubuntu cant log what i typed and i see in the terminal window,am i right? if yes then what program should i use to be able to log everything i see in the terminal window? anyone? | 06:30 |
| neo | anybody know about ¨CHDK¨ | 06:30 |
| lanoxx__ | brent113: ok, thanks | 06:30 |
| brent113 | helpfromu: bash logs by default, press the up key to see previous commands | 06:30 |
| helpfromu | cuz i want to capture everything printable i see in the terminal but im not sure if this is possible | 06:30 |
| brent113 | helpfromu: alt-p allows you to search through previous commands too, there are a bunch of useful commands you can google | 06:30 |
| helpfromu | brent113: bash logs saves the previous commands but not including the output | 06:30 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, everything does seem to be there, just seems a little small, especially when QDVDAuthor told me it was going to take up more space | 06:31 |
| brent113 | helpfromu: oh, you want a full log, not sure aobut that | 06:31 |
| helpfromu | i want to log everything including the output i see in the terminal window | 06:31 |
| belkinhelp2 | n2diy...thank you! | 06:31 |
| brent113 | helpfromu: I'm looking into this further | 06:31 |
| n2diy | belkinhelp2: Your welcome, enjoy. | 06:32 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl , before I went to burn it to a dvd I would check if the dvd/iso is what you wanted and if everything all works right | 06:32 |
| JDSBlueDevl | well, the video files are there with the audio | 06:33 |
| helpfromu | brent113: are you one of the developer of xwindow or ubuntu? | 06:33 |
| brent113 | helpfromu: look at the script command | 06:33 |
| JDSBlueDevl | but how do I check to see if it'll run in a DVD player? | 06:33 |
| brent113 | helpfromu: man script, for example script -a -v <logfile> | 06:33 |
| brent113 | and no, I'm just a user that spends a lot of time on here | 06:33 |
| Lapinux | thats odd, i installed samba via synaptic, then added users via terminal, then when i go to system -> admin -> shared folders it tells me i need to install samba | 06:34 |
| tarelerulz | JDSBlueDevl, I would play the iso/dvd direcotry with something like vlc . Is if the menu and sound are in sync | 06:34 |
| brent113 | Lapinux: it may just need to configure it so it knows it's been activated, what happens if you allow it to install it? | 06:34 |
| JDSBlueDevl | so, mount the iso then run in vlc? or just open the iso in vlc? | 06:35 |
| tarelerulz | I think it will just play iso | 06:35 |
| Lapinux | brent113: it installed, i just added a share, now to see if it worked or if i need to run "smbpasswd -a" again | 06:35 |
| spinman | hello I have a question | 06:35 |
| brent113 | spinman: hello, ask away | 06:35 |
| spinman | I wanted to install windows over my ubuntu install because I've installed ubuntu on my desktop and want windows on my laptop | 06:36 |
| JDSBlueDevl | yup, iso works | 06:36 |

| spinman | unfortunately the windows xp disk doesn't see my hard-drive | 06:36 |

| spinman | completely remove linux and install windows | 06:37 |
| spinman | I thought that grub wasn't mounting because the disk boots up before grub loads | 06:37 |

| spinman | I'm not that foolish Lapinux lol | 06:38 |
| Lapinux | spinman: lol | 06:38 |
| brent113 | spinman: Windows will by default reformat the harddrive, if it doesn't see that, that's sign of a sata2 incompatibility | 06:38 |
| tarelerulz | Do any of you know of a program that can burn a dvd directory onto a dvd ? So I stand alone player will play it ? | 06:38 |
| Lapinux | i know vista has problems seeing some drives | 06:38 |

| brent113 | taime1: the application launcher has a field in it that tells it what to use. the name of the icon is irrelvant | 07:00 |
| brent113 | taime1: right click on the menu->edit menus. that will let you edit the launchers | 07:01 |

| brent113 | Ayabara: nautilus is very fast, mounting it with cifs is a little bit faster though | 07:03 |

| |lilox| | Hi! | 07:04 |
| * Svenstaro greets DistroJockey | 07:04 | |
| iltechie | quite natural, when after deleting many small files you try to allocate a huge file, think what happens then | 07:04 |
| DistroJockey | brent113: found it under Standards at this address http://library.gnome.org/devel/references | 07:04 |
| Ayabara | brent113: I'll try mounting it | 07:04 |
| * Svenstaro greets |lilox| | 07:04 | |
| brent113 | iltechie: trust me, I am fully aware of this. At this time there is no online defragmenter for ext3, though there is something that moves files around to essentially "defrag"them. Ext4 is being designed with an online defragger in it though | 07:04 |
| |lilox| | :D | 07:04 |
| iltechie | some fragmenting is inevitable | 07:04 |
| DistroJockey | ***Svenstaro Greets :) | 07:04 |
| brent113 | DistroJockey: Ahh, thanks for the clarification | 07:04 |
| |lilox| | i Think that i need help :P | 07:05 |
| DistroJockey | brent113: *nods* np | 07:05 |
| iltechie | online defragger.ok | 07:05 |
| brent113 | iltechie: Yes, but the more its used, the ext3 volume will defrag itself if you keep the filesystem not jam packed | 07:05 |
| |lilox| | i can see my second monitor in the Screen and graphics preferences | 07:06 |
| brent113 | iltechie: I've had a 1Tb filesystem at 99.6% filled, and I had about 45% fragmentation, it was terrible | 07:06 |
| iltechie | but what about some defrging in safe mode, pure maintenance, moreover many of us has some fat32 or ntfs FS on same system | 07:06 |
| |lilox| | can't sorry | 07:06 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro: Well rested I hope? ;) | 07:06 |
| |lilox| | why? | 07:06 |

| Svenstaro | I was able to finally help the poor fella btw | 07:06 |
| brent113 | iltechie: there is no "defragmenter" for ext3 at all. your best options are copy all the file off, then put them back on, and use this program whose name escapes me to shuffle the fiels around on the disk | 07:07 |
| K_ | hola | 07:07 |

| |lilox| | ... | 07:08 |
| iltechie | funny yeah | 07:08 |
| DistroJockey | brent113: heh | 07:08 |
| iltechie | and not a coincidence I agree | 07:08 |
| |lilox| | well, any help? | 07:08 |
| brent113 | iltechie: ext3 is journaled unlike ntfs so it doesn't not accumulate defragmentation | 07:08 |
| iltechie | they simply asked the one that crated the mess to fix it | 07:09 |
| Ayabara | is there a command line tool for copying that will show me the progress of copying? the percentage I mean. | 07:09 |
| brent113 | iltechie: some files will fragment, others will defragment themselves as they are used, so it's really not an issue | 07:09 |
| Slart | Ayabara: cp can't do it.. but you can use rsync .. but most workarounds like this gives you about 30% longer copying times.. your choice | 07:10 |
| Ayabara | Slart: than cp it is :-) | 07:10 |
| iltechie | brent113, I thought journallng had to do with crsh reovery, not AVOIDINfragmenttiton | 07:10 |
| iltechie | DEFRGMENT THEMSELVES HOW | 07:10 |
| Slart | Ayabara: indeed.. 30% longer copying times compared to cp | 07:10 |
| iltechie | sorry for capitals | 07:10 |
| brent113 | iltechie: journalling allows the filesystem to help with crash recovery, but it also lists where the available free block are, so linux can assign a large file a large block and prevent defragmentation like that | 07:11 |
| brent113 | iltechie: does that make sense? | 07:11 |
| brent113 | iltechie: ext3 also allows files room to append at the end, so adding to a file will not cause fragmentation | 07:11 |
| iltechie | well brent113 yes, any source t oread about that ability of ext3FS manager, that you know of ? | 07:12 |
| brent113 | iltechie: if you give me a second I can find some others other than wikipedia | 07:13 |

| brent113 | oh, i'm sorry | 07:25 |
| brent113 | few steps behind | 07:25 |
| DistroJockey | Jangari: $ java -version | 07:25 |
| sap | brent113, ya i'm already there . but if i want to add a new pidgin shortcut then it asks for name , command and comment fields? | 07:25 |
| brent113 | sap: Name, Pidgin, comment is optional, command [path to pidgin binary] | 07:25 |
| Jangari | thanks DistroJockey, it seems i ave 1.4xxxx and i need 1.5 | 07:26 |
| Jangari | s/ave/have | 07:26 |
| brent113 | sap: if you can launch pidgin from the terminal by typing just pidgin, then that will work as well | 07:26 |
| sap | brent113, the command in previous shortcut is already "pidgin" . | 07:26 |
| DistroJockey | Jangari: np | 07:26 |
| brent113 | sap: then I would look where the new pidgin was install too | 07:26 |
| sap | brent113, but I'd like the gui way instead of going to the terminal everytime | 07:26 |
| Jangari | so how do I upgrade to 1.5? I've never really worked with java, nor actually had to do anything | 07:27 |
| sap | brent113, umm.. i installed it in /opt .. so k let me just check that dir | 07:27 |
| brent113 | sap: it might be in /usr/bin /usr/share/ or /var or /opt anything | 07:27 |
| brent113 | yes, it's probably /opt/pidgin/pidgin | 07:27 |
| DistroJockey | Jangari: $ echo $PATH (for the path bit) | 07:27 |
| brent113 | sap: if you can launch that path from the terminal and it's the right version, put that in the launcher | 07:27 |
| DistroJockey | Jangari: not sure on the upgrade sorry | 07:28 |
| sap | brent113, i can just use "pidgin" from terminal to launch the right version | 07:28 |
| Jangari | running the oxygen.sh returns: Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM. | 07:28 |
| brandonc503 | so if i change my video card does the restricted drivers manager update? cause im worried it has the info for last vid card | 07:28 |
| Jangari | will cacao suffice? | 07:29 |
| brent113 | sap: then put pidgin in the launcher | 07:29 |
| sap | brent113, k | 07:29 |
| melvste2 | hi all, im trying to install kubuntu (7.10) on a laptop with a new hard drive, but my machine seems too slow to go through the live cd and install process, is there another way? | 07:29 |
| iltechie | brent113, amusing ,yes.sorry distracted | 07:29 |
| sap | brent113, putting just "pidgin" in launcher launches the old version | 07:30 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: maybe, but i'd recommend a dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-glx-new | 07:30 |
| iltechie | Btw reading for certification | 07:30 |
| ere4si | melvste2: the alternate cd is what you need | 07:30 |
| brent113 | brandonc503: or even better, completely remove, reboot, then reinstall | 07:30 |
| tyron | Hi can anyone help with sound on toshiba a200? | 07:30 |
| brent113 | tyron: what seems to be the problem | 07:30 |
| brent113 | sap: use the full path then | 07:31 |
| tyron | i have no sound at all i have upgraded to alsa 1.0.16 | 07:31 |
| tyron | i have tried using 8.04 live cd and sound works | 07:31 |
| brent113 | tyron: did you upgrade using update-manager? or from source? | 07:31 |
| tyron | source | 07:32 |
| sap | brent113, yeah just tried that and it works to the new version now :) . but its weird that same command in terminal launches new version but in application launches the old one | 07:32 |
| iltechie | brent113, you in good shape,let the fore be with you. try not to overburn, though! | 07:32 |
| iltechie | fore = force | 07:32 |
| brent113 | tyron: you need to use what's provided in synaptic. Remove the source version and install it from synaptic | 07:32 |
| sap | brent113, also how do i remove the old version completely .. since i dont need it now / | 07:32 |
| brent113 | iltechie: you too?! haha | 07:32 |
| brent113 | sap: did you isntall it from source? | 07:32 |
| melvste2 | ere4si: my machine is not THAT slow it's 650mhz with 128mb ram, knoppix live cd runs on it, but with kubuntu it gets to the desktop and the cd goes round before the install icon arrives... for about 2 hours | 07:32 |
| sap | brent113, yes | 07:32 |
| sap | brent113, but i dont remember the directory where i installed it | 07:33 |
| GEIS | how do i change the username of root? | 07:33 |
| brent113 | sap: mmm, since you have 2 versions installed I'm not sure, but you could try a make remove | 07:33 |
| melvste2 | i was wondering if there's a better install option than run the live and click the icon? | 07:33 |
| brent113 | or mak uninstall, for pidgin I forget which one it is | 07:33 |
| brent113 | melvste2: it depends on your goal? | 07:33 |
| sap | brent113, tho there is an install directory lying in my home folder for both versions | 07:33 |
| lzzz | if i run 3dmark 2001 with desktop set to native 1680x1050 then 3dmark quit with "window lost focus" error, if i run with 1024x768, it run ok for 1st test, but quit with same error for 2nd test, and with quitting i found desktop set to 1680x1050. it seems ubuntu switching video modes without asking. how to prohibit any resolutions but 1024x768 to prevent mode switching? | 07:33 |
| ere4si | melvste2: the livecd needs more ram - 192mb+ | 07:33 |
| tyron | how do i remove the source version? | 07:33 |
| brent113 | sap: if it doesn't bother you I'd just leave it alone | 07:33 |
| brent113 | tyron: at one point you probably typed make install, yuo need to type make uninstall | 07:34 |
| brent113 | or make remove | 07:34 |
| GEIS | how do i change the username of root? | 07:34 |
| prince_jammys | you don't | 07:34 |
| sbingner | GEIS, don't | 07:34 |
| sbingner | but if you must... edit /etc/passwd | 07:34 |
| sap | brent113, hmm.. ya that'd be okay with me.. but its just a bit itchy and makes me wanna learn how to uninstall also.. lol.. but nvm .. i'll try to find a way | 07:35 |
| GEIS | username is being change there? | 07:35 |
| sbingner | it is STORED there | 07:35 |
| sbingner | don't mess with it | 07:35 |
| GEIS | for example i have a username call test1 and i want to rename to test2 i just edit /etc/passwd? | 07:35 |
| brent113 | sap: if you really want to know, open the make file it comes with and look for the opposite of install | 07:35 |
| sbingner | that would work, but their home directory would stay the same | 07:35 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: "Renaming root is generally a bad idea" | 07:35 |
| sap | brent113, oh okay | 07:35 |
| Jangari | gah, why is the oxygen.sh offering to open in wine?! | 07:35 |
| brent113 | sap: it will detail how it goes about removing the program | 07:35 |
| sbingner | unless of course you use something besides standard authentication mechanisms | 07:35 |
| tyron | before i upgraded it was not even detecting my sound card, does that change anything? | 07:35 |
| sap | brent113, i see . thanks | 07:35 |
| GEIS | why? | 07:35 |
| brent113 | sap: if you're interested in make files theres a lot of documentation for them. Often they are automatically generated by the c++ ide | 07:36 |
| sap | brent113, so i'm right now lookin for make file in the source directory | 07:37 |
| brent113 | tyron: yes that does change things, did the live cd detect it at all? | 07:37 |
| tyron | yes but with no sound | 07:37 |
| brent113 | tyron: but the hardy cd detects it with sound? | 07:37 |
| tyron | hardy being 8.04? then yes | 07:38 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: Not sure yet ;) Looking into it. (sounds like a bad idea though) | 07:38 |
| brent113 | tyron: I hate to put this off, but you know, hardy is being released in just a few days.... | 07:38 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: I know it is common on Windows to rename Administrator, so ... | 07:38 |
| tyron | really? and a new version should still be as stable? | 07:39 |
| brent113 | tyron: remember, this version, gutsy is only 6 months old! | 07:39 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: What is the reason you wish to change root? | 07:40 |
| tyron | brent113: Thanks i guess i should just stay away from music/ movies for a few more days then | 07:40 |
| sbingner | GEIS, it provides no benefit... and it's confusing to administrators... and some programs may check for root by looking for 'root' | 07:40 |
| sbingner | which would of course be bad | 07:40 |
| brent113 | tyron: if you really want i'll help you fix it. but when hardy comes out of beta you'll probably end up upgrading | 07:40 |
| sap | What is the difference between "make clean" and "make distclean" ? | 07:40 |
| sbingner | sap, distclean will remove cache files etc... and will remove your makefile | 07:41 |
| DistroJockey | sbingner: GEIS: And hackers just use the UID 0 instead of the name | 07:41 |
| brent113 | sap: make clean removes the compiled binaries | 07:41 |
| sbingner | sap, it returns it to the state it was for distribution | 07:41 |
| brent113 | sap: clean only cleans the local folder though, not the system | 07:41 |
| tyron | brent113: i wont waste your time. if it really gets to me ill just keep gogleing and trying things | 07:41 |
| brent113 | tyron: well feel free to stop by again | 07:42 |
| sap | sbingner, brent113 so will using both make clean and make distclean equivalent to uninstall ? i guess not ? | 07:42 |
| makrand | How To Set Library Path In Ubuntu ? | 07:42 |
| brent113 | sap: distclean should suffice | 07:42 |
| gbates31 | has anyone successfully connected to their iphone using ubuntu? | 07:42 |
| === ogre is now known as satanist_hethen | ||
| sap | brent113, oh k then i guess i've successfully uninstalled the old pidgin :)) | 07:42 |
| brent113 | well, snap, I have to be up for work in 6 hours, look how the time flies | 07:42 |
| brent113 | good night everybody | 07:42 |
| sap | night | 07:43 |
| sap | and thatnks | 07:43 |
| Svenstaro | n8 | 07:43 |
| sbingner | sap, not even remotely. no. | 07:43 |
| tyron | brent113: thanks. | 07:43 |
| brent113 | yw | 07:43 |
| sap | sbingner, oh I thought brent113 meant that | 07:43 |
| sbingner | sap, make clean/distclean has nothing to do with any install binaries | 07:43 |
| sbingner | *installed | 07:43 |
| sbingner | only the source tree | 07:43 |
| sap | sbingner, btw I also went into the source folder and did make uninstall... and it displayed some code .. so has my previos pidgin version been uninstalled? | 07:44 |
| sbingner | and there often is no "make uninstall" | 07:44 |
| gbates31 | anyone with an iphone here that can connect thru amarok or gtkpod? | 07:44 |
| sbingner | sap, probably... if not... why do you care? | 07:44 |
| arooni | just one q: when does cron.daily get run? | 07:44 |
| sbingner | just install a new one | 07:44 |
| tyron | brent113: ubuntu says it is out in 29 days? | 07:44 |
| sap | sbingner, so u mean just continue running with the latest version whilst leavign the old one there? | 07:45 |
| sbingner | sap, the new one will have overwritten the old one | 07:45 |
| sbingner | unless you installed to different locations | 07:45 |
| sap | sbingner, no it didnt , i used the /opt directory for the new one .. dunno where the old one was? | 07:45 |
| sbingner | sap, well just make sure you run the one from opt and you'll be fine... unless you're worried about hdd space | 07:46 |
| sap | but is this the way linux works .. i mean you dont bother removing the old versions | 07:46 |
| sbingner | this is why you use PACKAGES | 07:46 |
| sbingner | they clean up old versions etc | 07:46 |
| sap | sbingner, yeah i changed the path in applications to the new path | 07:46 |
| === gbates31 is now known as rm | ||
| sap | packages dont upgrade that much | 07:46 |
| === rm is now known as sudo | ||
| sap | and not even closely if one is still using fiesty or another older ubuntu :( | 07:47 |
| sbingner | well you can make your own packages if it's too slow for you | 07:47 |
| sbingner | otherwise, make sure you know where things are and manually clean them up | 07:47 |
| sap | sbingner, u mean i create my own .deb ? | 07:47 |
| === sudo is now known as gbates31 | ||
| mmkaresz | Hi there! | 07:47 |
| === satanist_hethen is now known as satanist_heathen | ||

| mmkaresz | can i have a question about upgrade ubuntu 7.10 - 8.40? | 07:48 |
| Deeppact | Hello, does anyone know a good Java irc channel or can anoyone help me? | 07:48 |
| Svenstaro | sap, no it wouldnt, not automatically, only if it was called exactly the same, to be sure manually purge the old version | 07:48 |
| sbingner | sap, if it was installed by a .deb yes | 07:48 |
| sap | Svenstaro, hmm.. i see | 07:48 |
| sbingner | if you did it your self, it's up to you to take care of it | 07:49 |
| legacy-- | can i install ubuntu on playstation2? | 07:49 |
| Svenstaro | sap, for making a package I recommend checkinstall | 07:49 |
| DistroJockey | Deeppact: what sort of issue with Java? | 07:49 |
| === satanist_heathen is now known as ogre | ||
| Finnish | Anyone ditched Gutsy for Heron here, yet? | 07:49 |
| Svenstaro | legacy--, you'd have a hard time | 07:49 |
| sbingner | Svenstaro, deb files don't have upgrade support? | 07:49 |
| Deeppact | how can I check in java if a variabele is empty or not | 07:49 |
| sap | sbingner, yeah i learnt it that one has to remember the location while installing for a good and efficient removal | 07:49 |
| Svenstaro | Finnish, yes quite a few people, and they love it | 07:49 |
| DistroJockey | Deeppact: ahh, that sort. Sorry, no idea :( | 07:49 |
| sap | Svenstaro, yeah i tried with checkinstall but it didnt work with it | 07:49 |
| Svenstaro | sbingner, yes they do, in a way that is. The old package needs to be removed first. | 07:49 |
| legacy-- | how come? | 07:49 |
| sbingner | Svenstaro, k as I was thinking then | 07:50 |
| Svenstaro | legacy--, i dont think anybody has ever done it. Theres a linux version for ps3 tho :) | 07:50 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: Havn't ditched Gutsy (am running both) but I do like Heron alot. | 07:50 |
| Finnish | Svenstaro: I tried it on my laptop (lappy has VIA Unichrome-video card, that works now), but somehow Gutsy feels a more home-like | 07:50 |
| Svenstaro | Finnish, well, go with whatever you want of course :) or try hardy when its done again | 07:51 |
| simtower | hi, how to get ubuntu to change wireless network location automatically? | 07:51 |
| Deeppact | how can I check in java if a variabele is empty or not | 07:51 |
| Svenstaro | simtower, you mean like it should be aware of where it is located? | 07:51 |
| Finnish | Yeah. I don't know if it was my lappy or something, but Bluetooth was PITA in hardy, but in know it's still BETA | 07:51 |
| Svenstaro | Deeppact, manually or automatically? | 07:51 |
| simtower | Svenstaro, yes, like Windows | 07:52 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: the #ubuntu+1 channel may be of interest to you | 07:52 |
| Svenstaro | Finnish, bluetooth is usually a bit akward in ubuntu | 07:52 |

| Svenstaro | simtower, you should google for that one im afraid | 07:52 |
| Finnish | DistroJockey: Yeah, I've been there, just want some opinions here also | 07:52 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: *nods* | 07:53 |
| Svenstaro | sap, your home directory alone and the dpkg package list should be fine | 07:53 |
| Finnish | But I guess there is no point to refuse the coming upgrade, or is there? | 07:53 |
| Svenstaro | Finnish, no there isnt :) | 07:53 |
| DistroJockey | Finnish: I don't think so :) | 07:53 |
| sap | Svenstaro, whats the secone thing " dpkg list" ?? | 07:54 |
| illabled | hello? | 07:54 |
| DistroJockey | Hi illabled | 07:54 |
| GEIS | how do i check for ssh unsuccessful login attempts? | 07:54 |
| Svenstaro | sap, try the following in console "dpkg --get-selections" | 07:54 |
| simtower | tail /etc/var/auth.log | 07:54 |
| simtower | GEIS | 07:54 |
| illabled | any suggestions on how to get NIC functional on my Gutsy Thinkpad T30? | 07:54 |
| prince_jammys | !clone | sap | 07:55 |

| simtower | or cat if you want to see the whole thing GEIS | 07:55 |
| illabled | hmm 0ne sec | 07:55 |
| DistroJockey | simtower: you would think they would put that in /var/log/ssh :) | 07:55 |
| sap | Svenstaro, prince_jammys k ty | 07:55 |
| GEIS | auth.log no such file exist | 07:56 |
| Finnish | Their PC-friend told them Ubuntu is not a good solution, but they were quite fast comfortable with Ubuntu so they told him to piss off hehe | 07:56 |

| prince_jammys | sap: creates a list | 07:57 |
| Svenstaro | sap, only a list :) all the world will be your backup | 07:57 |
| illabled | bazhang - do you know a way to find out hardware properties? | 07:57 |
| prince_jammys | !aptoncd | sap | 07:57 |
| ubotu | sap: 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 | 07:57 |
| Svenstaro | sap so your backup is a bunch of information only. this is waht makes ubuntu so neat | 07:57 |
| illabled | i am new to linux and IRC lol | 07:57 |
| GEIS | simtower, how do i clear those logs though | 07:58 |
| bazhang | illabled: you on the machine now? try lspci in ther terminal | 07:58 |
| illabled | ok | 07:58 |
| sap | but I'm still unclear whether it'll install the latest version when I unpackage it later ? | 07:58 |
| Svenstaro | yes it will sap | 07:58 |
| sap | okie I see | 07:58 |
| Svenstaro | you do need internet of course | 07:58 |
| reaz | hiiiiiiiiii | 07:59 |

| Ruson | hey, a little question. I want to install Ubuntu server and in the website it say it's supported till 2009. I suppose there will be new version until then and it'll be supported again, but the question is if i'll be able to update to the new version remotly? | 08:00 |
| illabled | Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) | 08:00 |
| illabled | i just installed gutsy on it and can't apt-get update | 08:00 |
| Svenstaro | nonono, not manual, you'll do a sudo dpkg --set-selections < yourbackfile.txt and it will do it automatically | 08:00 |
| bazhang | Ruson: another LTS will be due in about four weeks; that will be supported more long term | 08:00 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: I guess deleting the file would do it. But it does have other stuff besides SSH | 08:00 |
| sjovan | illabled: sydo apt-get update | 08:01 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: make a copy first if you try :) | 08:01 |
| sjovan | illabled: sudo apt-get update * | 08:01 |
| Ruson | hm | 08:01 |
| illabled | can't no no LAN | 08:01 |
| cpk1 | Ruson: yeah if you can just wait till the end of next month and you will be able to use the new lts product | 08:01 |
| bazhang | illabled: that looks like the ethernet; did you not want to get the wireless working on that? | 08:01 |
| illabled | no wireless yet | 08:01 |
| illabled | unless i can use a belkin USB card | 08:01 |
| cpk1 | Ruson: other wise you would have to reinstall or go through a messy string of upgrades since you cant skip versions while upgrading | 08:01 |

| DistroJockey | GEIS: Well I just deleted mine, so far so good :) | 08:04 |
| illabled | it's under Admin>network | 08:04 |
| DistroJockey | GEIS: didn't make a backup either | 08:04 |
| illabled | simtower - i see network roaming under system?admin>network | 08:04 |
| sap | btw, how to increase the scroll back lines in terminal ? it gets out after some lines. | 08:05 |
| Lokii- | !ot | 08:05 |
| ubotu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 08:05 |
| simtower_ | thanks illabled i will try it | 08:05 |
| illabled | sap: go to the Edit>Profile menu in terminal | 08:05 |
| simtower_ | it broke my connection actually | 08:06 |
| illabled | edit the default profile and you'll see the settings | 08:06 |
| simtower_ | i think it only supports unsecured wifi networks? | 08:06 |
| sap | illabled, nice . found the scrollback lines :) | 08:06 |
| illabled | default is 500 | 08:06 |
| illabled | cool | 08:06 |
| sap | illabled, so the more i put the lines the more ram will it use? or is it hdd space? | 08:07 |
| illabled | simtower - i'm not sure - i can't even use my NIC right now lol | 08:07 |
| illabled | i just know there are setting for roaming... | 08:07 |
| simtower_ | ubuntus idea of roaming is not quite like windows | 08:07 |
| illabled | ram i think | 08:07 |
| prince_jammys | sap: those lines take up a minuscule amount of space | 08:08 |
| simtower_ | it won't connect to your networks auotmatically | 08:08 |
| simtower_ | very annoying | 08:08 |
| illabled | no i am installing gutsy on an older thinkpad right now and it won't play nice with the ethernet card - no wireless yet | 08:08 |
| DistroJockey | sap: It will be stored on the filesystem somewhere as it is remembered after a reboot | 08:09 |
| Vikketorr | How do I make Pidgin join this channel automaticly? | 08:09 |
| sap | prince_jammys, hmm.. 500 lines =300 kb ; 2000 lines = 1.2 MB ... and if its Ram then i'll be cautious | 08:09 |
| illabled | anyone know where i can find drivers for a Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) and how to manually install them w/o NIC on the machine? | 08:09 |
| sap | DistroJockey, ok | 08:10 |
| illabled | sap: how much (or little ) ram are you working with? | 08:10 |
| prince_jammys | sap: where did those figures come from? | 08:10 |
| sap | illabled, 512 mb ..lol | 08:11 |
| illabled | lol | 08:11 |
| sap | prince_jammys, it says in scrollback options | 08:11 |
| prince_jammys | surprising | 08:11 |
| tyron | does anyone know how reliable the hardy herron beta is at the moment? | 08:12 |
| arooni________ | what do i need to add to source.list to allow debian to be updated? | 08:12 |
| illabled | i was reading hardy reviews a bit ago and heard good things | 08:12 |
| sap | But sometimes when I configure an application then it generates thousands of lines .. so if i set it to a high number it'll gobble up the ram | 08:12 |
| illabled | they fixed the resolution bug on install from Gutsy | 08:12 |
| illabled | i'm downloading right now to give it a shot myself lol | 08:13 |
| illabled | yeah but 2000 lines _1.2MB | 08:13 |
| illabled | shouldn't that be enough? | 08:13 |
| tyron | i have the live cd im just not sure wheather to upgrade now to fix my sound issues or not | 08:14 |
| illabled | set it for 20,000 at 12MB | 08:14 |
| kraut | moin | 08:14 |
| illabled | you'll still have 500MB left to run on | 08:14 |
| illabled | if you do use all 20,000 lines that is | 08:14 |
| sap | illabled, no buddy.. when u type ./configure and make and make install it generates thousands of lines and 10000 lines = 7 MB | 08:14 |
| illabled | oh! | 08:15 |
| sap | lol | 08:15 |
| sap | thats also true | 08:15 |
| f0rmat | i was wondering how i would go about downloading avi codecs to my computer so i can transfer them to my laptop which doesn't have an internet connection | 08:15 |
| f0rmat | ? | 08:15 |
| illabled | i see than how that could eat up your ram after a bit | 08:15 |
| sap | but if it really uses ram instead of hdd then I'd rather increase the scroll limit only when I need to else I'll keep it low for normal use | 08:15 |
| illabled | NYONE KNOW WHERE TO GO TO FIND A MANUALLY INSTALLABLE NIC DRVIER FOR Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) | 08:16 |
| illabled | oops | 08:16 |
| illabled | sorry for the ccaps | 08:16 |
| bazhang | illabled: folks seem to be able to wired working on that thinkpad but wireless is a bit more of a chore; apparently it is the orinoco (prism 2.5) which can be problematic--some have gone out and gotten an atheros minipci card as a workaround | 08:16 |
| illabled | i don't have a wireless card installed | 08:17 |
| illabled | i am looking for a wired driver | 08:17 |
| illabled | the wireless is in the mail, lol | 08:17 |
| illabled | ethernet is not working | 08:17 |
| DistroJockey | f0rmat: sudo apt-get -d <package name> then copy that .deb from /var/cache/apt/archives to the same place on the other PC and then do a sudo apt-get install <packagename> | 08:18 |
| illabled | i'm marooned with that thing | 08:18 |
| bazhang | there is someone who got it working in dapper on thinkwiki; gutsy might be able to do it but it would obviously be slower | 08:18 |
| illabled | on another computer right now | 08:18 |
| Breakage | hey, i am interested in installing ubuntu in my windows harddrive via wubi. wubi seems kind of intresting, i already have a dual boot (xp & arch) and was curious on how you startup ubuntu via wubi. will it mess with grub? do i load windows then run ubuntu inside of that? | 08:18 |
| bazhang | Breakage: wubi with gutsy? | 08:19 |
| Breakage | bazhang: yeah or maybe hardy | 08:19 |
| illabled | wubi will inboot it from a livecd or a folder on your pc | 08:19 |
| illabled | boot i mean | 08:19 |
| sap | hey wow there is an option to put transparent background in terminal .. nice | 08:19 |
| f0rmat | DistroJockey: thankyou i wanted to know how that was done but also do you know what the codecs are called? i mean i am juts copying every file out of the archives on my pc to my portable HDD and there arent alot so it isn't to bad | 08:19 |
| Breakage | illabled: ah so i can make a iso then boot from cd and it will load ubuntu from the hdd? | 08:19 |
| DistroJockey | f0rmat: nope, sorry | 08:20 |
| illabled | i think you can bootright from the iso too | 08:20 |
| vallhalla81 | !wubi | 08:20 |
| f0rmat | DistroJockey: thankyou anyway :) | 08:20 |
| ubotu | wubi advice here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=234 and http://wubi.org [file wubi bugs here: https://launchpad.net/wubi/+filebug ] (it will be included in hardy 8.04 currently in beta) | 08:20 |

| Breakage | bazhang: cheers | 08:20 |
| sap | k I gtg now , thanks all for the help :) | 08:21 |
| DistroJockey | f0rmat: may also be worth looking at: man dpkg (might work better) | 08:21 |
| f0rmat | :) | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | ok | 08:22 |
| illabled | thx bazhang | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | well i have got to go now but thnx | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | :) | 08:22 |
| DistroJockey | f0rmat: not tried what I suggested, but I think it should work | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | :) | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | ok | 08:22 |
| bazhang | err probably a dpkg -i to the deb would be better f0rmat | 08:22 |
| DistroJockey | f0rmat: k, later | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | :) | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | thankyou | 08:22 |
| DistroJockey | f0rmat: good luck :) | 08:22 |
| f0rmat | :) | 08:23 |
| bazhang | apt-get will not work in that situation | 08:23 |
| f0rmat | got to go anywya my mum is yelling | 08:23 |
| f0rmat | :D | 08:23 |

| bazhang | arooni________: ever think of shortening your nick? | 08:24 |
| arooni________ | bazhang, trying to mix it up a bit | 08:24 |
| illabled | that post was about wireless - it's not an 1802 error | 08:25 |
| prince_jammys | arooni________: it runs the second command only if the first succeeds | 08:26 |
| illabled | i just have no way to get online with the thing until it has the right drivers for the ethernet card (i don't have a wireless card in it). so i can't apt-get at all. looking for suggestions on workarounds using a soft copy of the driver ; but where to find it? (Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42)) | 08:26 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: You have a driver CD that came with it? | 08:27 |
| illabled | with the thinkpad? | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: yeah | 08:27 |
| pusoicafe | hello guys pls help me for my usb webcam won't work on my ubuntu 7.10 any ideas? | 08:27 |
| illabled | nope | 08:27 |
| illabled | got it barebones | 08:27 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: :( | 08:27 |
| illabled | is there a way to hijack a windows driver? lenovo has them on their site | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: and the support - download driver page for it only has Windows drivers? | 08:28 |
| prince_jammys | !webcam | pusoicafe | 08:28 |

| DistroJockey | illabled: yep, ndiswrapper | 08:28 |
| illabled | yeah they have only windows | 08:28 |
| nathanial | can anyone help me out with ssh and scp? | 08:28 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: ndiswrapper may do the job by using the Windows driver | 08:29 |
| illabled | how do i use ndiswrapper? the windows driver comes as a self extacting .exe | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | !ndiswrapper | 08:29 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 08:29 |
| nathanial | !ssh | 08:29 |
| ubotu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 08:29 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: that .exe may be able to be renamed to .zip and extracted, or if it can't, running it will extract it somewhere usually. | 08:30 |
| illabled | ok i'll go give that a shot | 08:30 |
| illabled | does it matter which driver i try? win2k vs xp? | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: if you still have a working Windows with it installed there, you may be able to get the files from it also | 08:31 |
| pusoicafe | prince_jimmys: ya there is some output text but it never worked in camorama and kopete all isee is greenscreen | 08:31 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: not to sure, but I would go with XP | 08:31 |
| illabled | yeah i have 2k and xp both working on a separate partition | 08:31 |
| illabled | on the same machine | 08:31 |
| prince_jammys | pusoicafe: i have no idea. i thought that link might be useful | 08:32 |
| illabled | can it read the fat32 partitions? | 08:32 |
| illabled | and grab it from there? | 08:32 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: should be able to, yeah | 08:32 |
| illabled | how to go about that? | 08:33 |
| illabled | i am pretty new to linux | 08:33 |
| prince_jammys | illabled: are you trying to install ndiswrapper? | 08:33 |
| illabled | not yet - 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper' ?? | 08:34 |

| kmanrox | i just installed ubuntu, it wont let me add new users or groups from the GUI... altho i can sudo su in terminal to root.. any ideas? | 08:34 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: sudo mkdir /mnt/wxp && mount /dev/sd?? /mnt/wxp (where /dev/sd?? = your Windows XP device partion) | 08:34 |
| illabled | it shows a lot | 08:34 |
| === Viele-baeren is now known as ABF|away | ||
| bazhang | kmanrox: you should use sudo not sudo su | 08:34 |

| kindofabuzz | sudo passwd -u <user> | 08:34 |
| kindofabuzz | i think | 08:35 |
| kmanrox | kk will try ty | 08:35 |
| bazhang | illabled: does ifconfig show eth0 or only lo | 08:35 |

| cpk1 | kmanrox: thats because you need to set the root password | 08:48 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: that will give you root | 08:48 |
| illabled | update manager and apt-get are both telling me i am up to date | 08:48 |
| illabled | this can not be | 08:49 |
| prince_jammys | vladtzu: i'm in that state right now, so i could be missing something | 08:49 |
| illabled | i just installed from an old LiveCD tonight | 08:49 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: then when your root, type passwd and set a root password | 08:49 |
| illabled | graphics are real laggy | 08:49 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: but I didn't tell you that, orthodox ubuntu users would call that sacrilege :) | 08:50 |
| illabled | anybody know where to get a ood driver for a radon 7500 fire gl mobility card? | 08:50 |
| cpk1 | illabled: you probably need to install the driver for your video card | 08:50 |
| kmanrox | pat5star: i just did, then 'Switch user ' and used root as username, and my password i set in terminal... still rejected me :( | 08:50 |
| illabled | ndiswrapper? | 08:50 |
| bazhang | nay | 08:50 |
| illabled | with the windows driver? | 08:50 |
| cpk1 | illabled: no, the wiki describes how to install the driver for ati's | 08:51 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: I'm still a bit unsure about dealing with NTFS. I'd have a backup if you do decide to try. (But you should already have a backup right;)) | 08:51 |
| vladtzu | prince_jammys Haha I hear ya man. I'm going to add the -3g to the ntfs and change the folder to the one where mounting did work in case its some sort of voodoo working againt that other folder and restart when I feel like really messing with it | 08:51 |
| cpk1 | !ati | illabled | 08:51 |
| ubotu | illabled: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 08:51 |
| vladtzu | I appreciate the help fellerz | 08:51 |
| prince_jammys | vladtzu: ok | 08:51 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: if you press ctrl - alt - f4 and go to a tty login, can you login as root? | 08:51 |
| voxluna | DistroJockey, yeah I did make a full bkp before I resized the partition. I had been playing with Wubi but then did the "real" thing. | 08:51 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: ntfs3g is pretty good these days though from what I here | 08:52 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: press those 3 at the same time | 08:52 |
| bazhang | login as root? a very bad idea | 08:52 |
| kmanrox | k sec | 08:52 |
| cpk1 | kmanrox: you really shouldnt log into an X session as root anyways | 08:52 |
| voxluna | DistroJockey, I had heard in the past (in kernel notes, or something) that it wasn't reliable. not sure where exactly. | 08:52 |
| bazhang | that would mean irc as root | 08:52 |
| voxluna | DistroJockey, ideally I might be able to use my D:\Documents\Thunderbird\ across both platforms, for example | 08:52 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: *nod* I would so it is fairly reliable, as long as both systems are shut down cleanly | 08:53 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: would say^ | 08:53 |
| voxluna | I'll just be more vigilant in my DVD backups, I guess | 08:53 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: never hurts :) | 08:54 |
| cpk1 | they have a disclaimer saying that ntfs write support might cause problems but I think they also say that havent had a reported problem in a very long time | 08:54 |
| [[thufir]] | what I did was to search synaptic for "java" and am removing completely all java stuff before installing the sun jdk. this makes sense? | 08:54 |
| voxluna | wonder if I could rig this box to do remote bkps onto the server's DLT? ;) | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: probably :) | 08:54 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: rsync would be worth a look in that case | 08:55 |
| pat5star | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?go=Go&search=thufir: won't hurt...the only 2 things you really need are the jdk for developing, and the jre for things like your browser or any apps that rely on java...worst case is you may need to point anything relying on the jre at the new location, if it's in a diff spot | 08:55 |
| [[thufir]] | thanks | 08:56 |
| kmanrox | doh | 08:56 |
| voxluna | DistroJockey, it'd be nice to get the laptop backed up somehow, it has a lot of user-downloaded music, but it's XP | 08:56 |
| anaoum | is it possible to upgrade to hardy without changing my kernel? | 08:56 |
| voxluna | I tried Wubi, it blew up on the Acer. ugh. | 08:56 |
| kmanrox | jason5star: u around? | 08:56 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: what happened? | 08:57 |
| dns53 | anaoum you keep the old kernel till you remove it | 08:57 |
| kmanrox | i just ctrl - alt- f4 and all i got was a million /drivers/____blah blah/yearlink.c unexpected errors | 08:57 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: External USB HDD's are nice. Sorry Wubi didn't work. (not tried that yet) | 08:57 |
| anaoum | ahhh, but it will change the default kernel in grub | 08:57 |
| anaoum | and i just have to change it back ay? | 08:57 |
| kmanrox | same errors i get for a couple seconds when loggin on and signing off | 08:57 |
| kindofabuzz | finally!! got chatzilla running on xulrunner | 08:58 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: wow, you got some weird stuff going on. That should have just gave you a non gui login screen. Is this a new install? | 08:58 |
| kindofabuzz | well i've had it running but finally got it to run as a user instead of root | 08:58 |
| dns53 | anaoum if you want, i am using an older kernel myself because of wifi | 08:58 |
| kmanrox | yes new install | 08:58 |
| kmanrox | yesterday | 08:58 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: but you can login fine if you are non root? | 08:58 |
| voxluna | DistroJockey, yeah that I use on this box, an internal drive that just sits there ready for bkps. only thing is, it is 1) not removeable and 2) runs all the time. | 08:59 |
| kmanrox | pat: yes | 08:59 |
| kmanrox | jsut cant manipulate the users & groups GUI style | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | voxluna: Western Digital ones I like better than Seagate, due to heat issues (those being the top 2 manufactures) | 08:59 |
| voxluna | DistroJockey, I suppose an external is really the fastest though. | 08:59 |
| Lhademmor | Hi all.. I've tried out Kubuntu by installing the 'kubuntu-dekstop' from my Ubuntu. However, now I've tried removing it via Synaptic, but there are still several shortuts in the menu that I cant get rid of, f.ex. Adept_manager. How can I remove those? | 08:59 |
| kmanrox | unfort i dont know the cmd line style hehe | 08:59 |
| DistroJockey | sorry, I got a bit OT :( | 08:59 |
| Svenstaro | Lhademmor, if you really need to manually do it, right click your menu and choose edit, or waht its called | 09:00 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: but you should be able to alter any users with systemsettings, or whatever the ubuntu control app is called (need help here...i use kubuntu) | 09:00 |
| kmanrox | im installing ´systemsettings'righ now :) | 09:01 |
| [[thufir]] | I notice that things gnome-utils also are getting uninstalled, though :( | 09:01 |
| [[thufir]] | along with the java packages | 09:01 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: if you login as normal user, then run systemsettings, in that gui it will ask you for admin password, use your normal username password, and you should be granted rights to change any other user settings | 09:01 |
| kmanrox | pat: great thx.. will give it a whirl :) | 09:02 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: gl | 09:02 |
| kmanrox | in in thailand so systemsettings will be downloading for 1.5 hrs it says lol | 09:02 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: wow, that sucks :) | 09:02 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: dialup? | 09:03 |
| kmanrox | pat5star: amazingly i have my deault repository set to th. youd think it would go faster | 09:03 |
| NIKA_ | vitha | 09:03 |
| kmanrox | pat5star: no 4mbps cable... but only get those speeds on localnet (within thailand) or using a d/l accelerator | 09:04 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: hearing things like that only reminds me not to take our access for granted :) | 09:04 |
| kmanrox | pat5star: i hear ya.. im american and when i go back to the states and run on a cable, i c*rap myself | 09:04 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: lol | 09:05 |
| kmanrox | oops my asterisk didnt work out so well heh | 09:05 |
| * Svenstaro is happy to be able to download at 1.5mb/s :) | 09:05 | |
| kindofabuzz | just seeing what this does | 09:06 |
| * kmanrox glares at sven | 09:06 | |
| vallhalla81 | ***happy to have 25mb/s | 09:06 |
| * kmanrox sheds a small tear. | 09:06 | |
| Svenstaro | vallhalla81, you are on 130mbits? | 09:06 |
| kindofabuzz | check | 09:06 |
| * cpk1 can easily get 1mB downloads... | 09:07 | |
| sunbird | hi everyone. | 09:07 |
| vallhalla81 | sven no i am on 25 | 09:07 |
| Svenstaro | well you said megaBytes per second | 09:07 |
| sunbird | i'm a newbie to ubuntu doing an install on my macbook pro santa rosa. | 09:07 |
| voxluna | hmm... "Terminal Server Client" should be able to connect to another box I have VNC running on. Right? | 09:07 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro: I'm on a 1.5Mb/s plan also, get 159KB/s average | 09:07 |
| sunbird | the wiki tutorial /walkthru works great. | 09:07 |
| sunbird | but i want to do full drive encryption and only have the live cd downloaded. | 09:08 |
| kindofabuzz | test | 09:08 |
| kmanrox | sunbird: whats the url to this wiki? | 09:08 |
| cpk1 | fail | 09:08 |
| sunbird | one minute. | 09:08 |
| Svenstaro | been doing computing since I was a little kid, and I still cant remember if MB/s or Mb/s is megabits | 09:08 |
| cpk1 | mB is mega bytes | 09:08 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro: hehe | 09:08 |
| kindofabuzz | !ot | all | 09:08 |
| voxluna | Svenstaro, how about MiB? ;) | 09:08 |
| ubotu | all: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 09:08 |
| Linux_Fresher | I have an issue .. 80 GB HD, 10 gb for ubuntu, 70 ntfs windows, now, another 40 gb hd which has fat 32 and 2 partitions of 20 gb each.. both full of movies.. i cant seem to access those 2 hard drives .. they get mounted, but they keep saying permission denied when i try to click on those icons, also, the right click RIGHTS menu is not there | 09:08 |
| sunbird | kmanrox: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro | 09:08 |
| kindofabuzz | lol | 09:08 |
| DistroJockey | Svenstaro: small b = bits, big B = Bytes :) | 09:09 |
| Vikketorr | How do i save a bash command to a shourtcut or a file ? | 09:09 |
| kmanrox | sunbird: thx | 09:09 |
| pat5star | Svenstaro: I think for most people nowadays, mb in any case only means megabyte :) | 09:09 |
| Svenstaro | thanks :P | 09:09 |
| Conrad_ | speak spanish in this channel ? | 09:09 |
| sunbird | does anyone know if i can do full drive encryption from the live cd? | 09:09 |
| sunbird | or do i have to download the alternate? | 09:09 |
| simtower_ | Mb - bit MB byte | 09:09 |
| Svenstaro | im on 16mb/s then :P | 09:09 |
| sunbird | (on a slow connection, so i'm hoping i can use the live) | 09:09 |
| prince_jammys | voxluna: MiB i think the old MB (1024 K). vs 1000 K | 09:09 |
| dns53 | you need the alternative | 09:09 |
| DistroJockey | and a nibble = 4 bits :) | 09:09 |
| simtower_ | MiB mebibyte etc | 09:09 |
| voxluna | Svenstaro, IIRC Mb is bits, MB is bytes. | 09:09 |
| cpk1 | Linux_Fresher: if you want you can open them all as root | 09:09 |
| Vikketorr | How do i save a bash command to a shourtcut or a file ? | 09:10 |
| Linux_Fresher | cpk1, currently i am root, though its bad idea to chat as one | 09:10 |
| cpk1 | Linux_Fresher: I'm sure there is some way to mount it with more friendly permissions but I dont know how off the top of my head | 09:10 |
| Svenstaro | sunbird, you are on gutsy and want to install a fully encrypted system from the live cd? | 09:10 |
| Linux_Fresher | cpk1, i can copy paste the fstab if u want | 09:10 |
| pat5star | Vikketorr: just put the command in a txt file | 09:10 |
| Linux_Fresher | or paste bin lsmod, dmesg too | 09:10 |
| dns53 | Vikketorr save it to a text file and make it executable | 09:10 |
| voxluna | prince_jammys, yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte. which I can understand, but it all seems so ridiculous | 09:11 |
| sunbird | svenstaro: yes. | 09:11 |
| pen | I have a question about dd | 09:11 |
| Linux_Fresher | cpk1, do u want me to do it ? | 09:11 |
| sunbird | svenstaro: gutsy x64 | 09:11 |
| kmanrox | youŕe gonna die when you see t he traceroute from here in bangkok, to the th.archive.ubunto.com server lol | 09:11 |
| pen | I used dd to copy partition, but I did it twice by accident so I end up with twice the size of the data | 09:11 |
| prince_jammys | voxluna: i think it's because hardware vendors started using 1000 to mean megabyte (and save themselves a few bytes) | 09:12 |
| Svenstaro | sunbird, I'm positive you can do that, I just don't know how im afrarid | 09:12 |
| pen | but the problem is that I don't see duplicates in the folders | 09:12 |
| kmanrox | goes thru california, then to new york, then to london lolol | 09:12 |
| pen | how can I solve this? | 09:12 |
| kmanrox | 2 ms ae-26-52.car2.London2.Level3.net (4.68.117.48) 662.023 ms | 09:12 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: lol, your data travels the world before you get it :) | 09:12 |
| Svenstaro | pen, dd appends to the file afaik | 09:12 |
| kmanrox | that is unbelievable lol | 09:13 |
| Svenstaro | pen, you have just created a file containg two times your fs :) | 09:13 |
| kindofabuzz | kmanrox: try opendns | 09:13 |
| dns53 | would split work? | 09:13 |
| pen | Svenstaro: so how should i do now to fix it? | 09:13 |
| kmanrox | kindofabuzz: checking into that | 09:13 |
| Svenstaro | pen, read up on "split" | 09:14 |
| kindofabuzz | kmanrox: opendns.com | 09:14 |
| cpk1 | Linux_Fresher: you need to set uid= gid= and umask= so your user can open and read and execute stuff on the drive | 09:14 |
| vallhalla81 | !split | 09:14 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about split - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:14 |
| pen | Svenstaro: but I only want my files, if I split how would it reduce the volume? | 09:14 |
| Svenstaro | pen, as far as I have understood, you just copied your FS two times into the same file using dd, this made it grow twice as big, right? | 09:15 |
| j3kyll | i just installed amarok, i have the codec packages for mp3...mp4 downloaded and installed, has worked on rythmbox... why not amaroK? | 09:15 |
| pen | Svenstaro: yes, I think so | 09:16 |
| pen | Svenstaro: but the files are still one, not like filename and filename# | 09:16 |
| pen | Svenstaro: do you mean that dd actually merge the files? | 09:16 |
| kmanrox | jason5star: my system is downloading tons of KDE libs that support ¨systemsettings¨ hehe | 09:16 |
| Svenstaro | pen, yes | 09:16 |
| pen | Svenstaro: then how can I safely split them? | 09:17 |
| knightwise | hello | 09:17 |
| Svenstaro | pen, your best bet is to cut it directly in the middle bitwise and try to mount one of them as your file system | 09:17 |
| rose | hi | 09:17 |
| kmanrox | im on 8.04 | 09:17 |
| pen | Svenstaro: and delete the junk | 09:17 |
| knightwise | is anybody using VMware server on a ubuntu server ? | 09:17 |
| bullgard4 | What does the filename extension .desktop mean? For example: ~/.config/autostart/epiphany.desktop | 09:17 |
| knightwise | i get an error he cannot find a file | 09:17 |
| knightwise | he says he cannot find the following library : libXtst.so.6 | 09:18 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: systemsettings might be the kde version...I can't remeber what the gnome one was called...that might have been a mistake telling you to use that :( | 09:18 |
| pen | Svenstaro: how to do that? | 09:18 |
| j3kyll | i just installed amarok, i have the codec packages for mp3...mp4 downloaded and installed, has worked on rythmbox... why not amaroK? | 09:18 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: in the end, they both do the same thing, except you'll have all those kde libraries installed too | 09:18 |
| kmanrox | pat: no worries man | 09:19 |
| === yunie_christ is now known as jual_ginjal | ||
| Svenstaro | pen, I havent ever tried it but you could do a "split -C halfofthebiteshere /where/file/goes" | 09:19 |
| kmanrox | my mommy always told me that libraries are good.. shrug | 09:19 |
| morghanphoenix | getting a lot of shared library errors, and all the libraries it's looking for are in /lib how do I fix this? | 09:19 |
| Svenstaro | pen how big is your big file? | 09:20 |
| pen | Svenstaro: I have no idea | 09:20 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: lol, well personally I always have both kde and gnome libraries installed, because there is cool apps for both that I want anyways | 09:20 |
| kmanrox | wonder if thereś such a thing as an RSS feed software that posts IRC channels conversations | 09:20 |
| Svenstaro | pen look it up :) | 09:20 |
| tyron | hi getting error when open ntfs volume on 8.04 You are not privileged to mount the volume 'TOSHIBA SYSTEM VOLUME'. it is listed in the places menu. how do i add myself | 09:20 |

| servettas | can anyone help me pls ? | 09:22 |

| === Kwitschibo_ is now known as Kwitschibo | ||
| Svenstaro | pen, Look, using dd you basically created an image of your partiton and when you ran it the second time this image got appended another time | 09:24 |
| Svenstaro | pen, but like this it is not usable | 09:24 |
| pat5star | pen: when you ran dd, what is the file location that you copied to? | 09:24 |
| morghanphoenix | Didn't think so, looks like that is only for executables, but how do I make it see all my libraries it's swearing to me aren't there | 09:24 |
| unop | morghanphoenix, you need to configure and use ld -- man ld | 09:25 |
| pen | this is what I use dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/sda conv=noerror,sync bs=4k | 09:25 |
| servettas | ImportError: No module named japanese | 09:25 |

| pen | Svenstaro: ok | 09:25 |
| pen | pat5star: I copy to sda5 | 09:25 |
| unop | servettas, where are you getting this? | 09:25 |
| pat5star | pen: ok, so Svenstaro wants to know what the output of ls -lh /dev/sda is | 09:26 |
| pen | pat5star: oh | 09:26 |
| pen | pat5star: ok | 09:26 |
| bullgard4 | What does the filename extension .desktop mean? For example: ~/.config/autostart/ includes 3 files: epiphany.desktop, gnome-terminal.desktop, nm-applet.desktop. All 3 are not listed on my computer's desktop. | 09:26 |
| Svenstaro | pen I got you, you should probably format /dev/sda and just run your dd again, makes it easiest | 09:26 |
| dns53 | bullgard4 .desktop are like shortcuts | 09:26 |
| pen | Svenstaro: I see, you mean do it again? | 09:26 |
| pen | Svenstaro: that's easy | 09:26 |
| Svenstaro | pen, yes, but format /dev/sda first | 09:27 |

| gatestone | Thinkpad z60m and Gutsy: Fn F7 sometimes switches to ext monitor (projector), sometimes not. Only 1280x800 works, and badly. Any hints? | 09:27 |
| morghanphoenix | wow, ld has one hell of a big man page | 09:27 |
| Svenstaro | pen do you know how to use gparted? you would choose ext3 as the partition | 09:27 |
| gatestone | My Thinkpad uses Intel 915GM chip. | 09:28 |
| j3kyll | i just installed amarok, i have the codec packages for mp3...mp4 downloaded and installed, has worked on rythmbox... why not amaroK? | 09:28 |
| unop | bullgard4, they are freedesktop.org files - see http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ | 09:28 |
| pen | Svenstaro: but the source partition has different file system format | 09:28 |
| lgolebio | Hi all, after some updates my ubu behaves very strange, first of all it boots up very slow, and I figured it out that it is because of network | 09:28 |
| dns53 | bullgard4 it is a menu entry, in any freedesktop environment it will examine the name , the icon, | 09:28 |
| pen | Svenstaro: dd actually copy the format too | 09:28 |
| unop | bullgard4, .desktop is the proper extension | 09:28 |
| lgolebio | but when I type "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" it shows "cannot fork" | 09:28 |
| dns53 | bullgard4 open one in a text editor, there can be things like localised names for things etc | 09:29 |
| pen | Svenstaro: the source partition has a different format than the partition I create for it | 09:29 |
| lgolebio | coul anybody help me with that ? | 09:29 |
| Svenstaro | pen, uhm yes, know I finally got to know what you mean with all this, you didnt do an image, you did an actual direct copy which im unsure about if it would work on your external | 09:29 |
| DistroJockey | pen: Svenstaro: In +1 I mentioned gparted is probably the way to go | 09:29 |
| anaoum | ok strange problem - i just upgraded to hardy, and if i try log in as root, it doesnt let me type a password - it just tells me login failed. if i try other usernames it asks for a password :S | 09:29 |
| anaoum | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61111/ | 09:29 |
| unop | !sudo | DistroJockey | 09:29 |
| ubotu | DistroJockey: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 09:29 |
| dns53 | hardy is in the channel #ubuntu+1 | 09:29 |
| unop | !root | DistroJockey | 09:29 |
| ubotu | DistroJockey: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:29 |
| anaoum | ssh with root works fine | 09:30 |
| Svenstaro | pen, format it with the same FS you have for the source file FS and then run your dd command | 09:30 |
| Svenstaro | also who is the matrix geek that programmed ubotu | 09:30 |
| pen | Svenstaro: ok | 09:30 |
| anaoum | i have a root password, it works via ssh, just not from the local terminal long in | 09:30 |
| servettas | ImportError: No module named japanese | 09:30 |

| servettas | can anyone help me pls ? | 09:30 |
| illabled | how to configure pigin in Ubunto for IRC? | 09:31 |
| unop | anaoum, thats probably the way you've got GDM configured to stop root logins at the console | 09:31 |
| illabled | woah spelling! | 09:31 |
| j3kyll | illabled: how do you want to configure it? | 09:31 |
| illabled | yes | 09:31 |
| anaoum | unop: i dont even have gdm installed | 09:31 |
| anaoum | im running server | 09:32 |
| illabled | pidgin | 09:32 |
| === gaurav__ is now known as gaurav | ||
| unop | anaoum, ok then -- s/gdm/login/ | 09:32 |
| illabled | anyone here using pidgin? | 09:32 |
| === gaurav is now known as gaurav_ | ||
| j3kyll | illabled : yes i am ill walk you through it | 09:32 |
| illabled | or rather, what is the popular choce of IRC clients for ubuntu? | 09:32 |
| morghanphoenix | Yes, many more protocols than kopete | 09:33 |
| anaoum | unop: huh | 09:33 |
| illabled | ok | 09:33 |
| illabled | ty j3kyll | 09:33 |
| Thirsteh | illabled, xchat and irssi | 09:33 |
| unop | anaoum, login is to servers as gdm is to desktops | 09:33 |
| Thirsteh | xchat is graphical, irssi is terminal | 09:33 |
| morghanphoenix | , if Kopete ever catches up I'll be glad to drop pidgin, but for now it's what I'm running | 09:33 |
| j3kyll | illabled : start out by opening the program and going to "accounts" then add acount | 09:33 |
| illabled | done | 09:33 |
| anaoum | unop: so what should i do to enable local root login? | 09:34 |
| illabled | it shows my gtalk contacts online so that should be set, right?\ | 09:34 |
| dns53 | anaoum can you login as a user then login as root? | 09:34 |
| anaoum | yep | 09:34 |
| kmanrox | jason5star: u still around? | 09:34 |
| anaoum | just via su - | 09:34 |
| j3kyll | illabled : correct | 09:34 |
| illabled | ok | 09:34 |
| DistroJockey | unop: !sudo | DistroJockey ?? | 09:34 |
| j3kyll | illabled : but what irc connection do you want to add? | 09:34 |
| dns53 | anaoum i think they changed things with hardy adding selinux or app armor, not sure what one | 09:35 |
| illabled | this one | 09:35 |
| unop | !root | DistroJockey (see the post below from ubotu) | 09:35 |
| ubotu | DistroJockey (see the post below from ubotu): Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:35 |
| illabled | the thing that gets me i think is when it asks for a passwd | 09:35 |
| === windo_ is now known as cinta | ||
| DistroJockey | unop: and this was directed at me why? | 09:36 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: ya | 09:36 |
| j3kyll | illabled : try leaving the password blank, just use username and alias plus of course your server . "irc.freenode.net" | 09:36 |
| kmanrox | pat/jason sounds the same kinda, no? ;) | 09:36 |
| illabled | i am using colloquy in osx right now but want to uhave IRC running on the Ubuntu machine | 09:36 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: no, but it's better than other names I've been called :) | 09:36 |
| kmanrox | haha | 09:36 |
| j3kyll | illabled : try leaving the password blank, just use username and alias plus of course your server . "irc.freenode.net" have you done this? | 09:37 |
| unop | DistroJockey, my bad, i thought it was you who asked why you couldnt logon as root .. | 09:37 |
| DistroJockey | unop: np :) | 09:37 |
| windo_ | cinta | 09:38 |
| xeonza999 | ... | 09:38 |
| j3kyll | illabled : are you there? | 09:38 |
| xeonza999 | มีคนไทยใหม | 09:38 |
| cpk1 | anaoum: why do you want to start a session as root anyways? | 09:38 |
| illabled | ok it shows in the chat's list but i can't seem to connect | 09:39 |
| illabled | yep i'm here | 09:40 |
| illabled | no luck | 09:40 |
| illabled | it shows the chat contact but no action on connect | 09:40 |
| === windo__ is now known as cinta | ||
| j3kyll | illabled : so you said it is showing up in your chat group? but you can't connect? | 09:40 |
| illabled | yes | 09:40 |
| j3kyll | illabled : if you've made sure you have the correct server and channel it should be good... hmm | 09:41 |
| illabled | #ubuntu or just ubuntu? | 09:41 |
| illabled | i used #ubuntu | 09:42 |
| illabled | and irc.freenode.net | 09:42 |
| j3kyll | illabled : that one is correct | 09:42 |
| j3kyll | illabled : did you leave the password blank like i suggested? | 09:42 |
| illabled | yes | 09:42 |
| Pilchard | hi there | 09:42 |
| Pilchard | can i ask for some help here | 09:42 |
| illabled | maybe i will try Xchat | 09:43 |
| weltall | does anyone know if it's possible to enable proxy support on an ssh server and use something like an user permission list to check if allowing or not this? | 09:43 |
| kmanrox | yes Pilchard, just ask | 09:43 |

| illabled | ok now i can't seem to find xchat for ubuntu | 09:47 |

| msingh | is there a good automatic way to check if the network is down, and if so, bring it up again? | 09:47 |
| unop | illabled, just run this command -- sudo aptitude install xchat | 09:47 |
| illabled | ah | 09:48 |
| illabled | not apt-get? | 09:48 |
| illabled | ok | 09:48 |
| Starnestommy | apt-get also works | 09:48 |
| unop | illabled, you can use apt-get there | 09:48 |
| kmanrox | pat5star: got it figure out.. silly oversight on my part | 09:48 |

| Pilchard | cant install wien | 09:49 |
| huy | thanks!!!! | 09:49 |
| Pilchard | wine* | 09:49 |
| DistroJockey | msingh: ifconfig will list active interfaces, ifup will bring an interface up | 09:49 |
| unop | msingh, you can't bring a network up if it goes down -- but you can bring a network interface up if it was not already brought up? which is it? | 09:49 |
| Starnestommy | Pilchard: how are you trying to install it and what error are you getting? | 09:49 |
| DistroJockey | msingh: ifup eth0 for example | 09:49 |
| Pilchard | sudo apt-get install wine | 09:49 |
| pat5star | kmanrox: what was it? | 09:49 |
| Pilchard | o_O | 09:49 |

| j3kyll | how do i go about install assaultcube from tar.bz2? | 09:50 |
| huy | anyone here has problem with firefox crashing while playing flash? | 09:50 |
| illabled | tells me 0 packages upgraded 0 newly installed 0 to remove 0 not upgraded | 09:50 |
| unop | DistroJockey, sorry? | 09:50 |
| teo-off | huy, i have the same problem but not always :S | 09:50 |
| unop | illabled, type `xchat` at the command line -- what happens? | 09:51 |
| danand | huy - yes. | 09:51 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: never heard of it, but i imagine you have to unpack it: tar xjvf assaultcube.tar.bz2 or whatever it's name is | 09:51 |
| huy | teo-off, it's so annoying. they say to change depth in the xorg.config from 16 to 24 | 09:51 |
| DistroJockey | unop: sorry, was just checking I was on the right track with ifconfig and ifup eth0 | 09:52 |
| illabled | command not found | 09:52 |
| teo-off | huy, i tried that but same problem again.. i know it's annoying | 09:52 |
| Pilchard | someone help me pls I cant install wine (API ERROR : could not register entrypoint) | 09:52 |
| j3kyll | pat5star : what do i do after unpacking? | 09:52 |
| unop | DistroJockey, ohh right, yea, yea -- but i dunno how one would bring up a network that has gone down tho :) | 09:53 |
| huy | unop, hey, thanks for your help last night | 09:53 |
| unop | huy, hmm, was that the broadcom issue? | 09:53 |
| DistroJockey | unop: *nods* well, ifup may do it | 09:53 |
| huy | unop, yeah. i found the solution, so simple | 09:53 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: you should have a directory, maybe named assaultcube, cd into it, you'll probably find an install script or at the very least a README telling you what to do | 09:53 |
| unop | DistroJockey, but ifup only works on network interfaces .. not entire networks, see the subtle difference :) | 09:54 |
| unop | huy, cool, what was it? | 09:54 |
| j3kyll | pat5star k thanks | 09:54 |
| DistroJockey | unop: Ahh, yep :) | 09:54 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: yw | 09:54 |
| Pilchard | I installed ati card driver and now i cant install wine | 09:54 |
| Pilchard | any help ? | 09:54 |
| huy | unop, acpi=off wouldn't bind ndiswrapper and its driver with irq0. i had to change boot parameter | 09:54 |
| teo-off | Pilchard, try this - http://fedoranews.org/cms/node/1014 and this to get informed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/47794 | 09:54 |
| HSorgYves | morning | 09:54 |
| DistroJockey | unop: I'm taking too many things for granted lately :( | 09:55 |
| unop | huy, nice, will try and remember that :) | 09:55 |
| HSorgYves | why can't i access this file (-rwsr-x--- 1 root www-data 10244 2008-01-27 19:19 suexec) when I am in the www-data group? | 09:55 |
| DistroJockey | unop: on the plus side, I'm right most of the time :) | 09:55 |
| danand | j3kyll - usual steps are 1. ./configure 2. make 3. sudo make install. Obviously cd into the assault cube dir first. Also read any README files or install instructions in the dir | 09:55 |
| chi11y | If I want to try KDE4 on my ubuntu desktop, is the only way to go hard and install kde? | 09:55 |
| chi11y | *hardy | 09:55 |
| unop | HSorgYves, because the group www-data does not own the file | 09:55 |
| j3kyll | pat5star :) | 09:55 |
| HSorgYves | unop: but it has r-x on it, what do I overlook? | 09:56 |
| chi11y | or maybe even kubuntu-desktop just to bloat it up even more x) | 09:56 |
| spikeb | chi11y, no, you can use the instructions here: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.2.php | 09:56 |
| illabled | running the command 'xchat' results in c'commanf not found' | 09:56 |
| unop | HSorgYves, forget the permissions -- look at the ownership | 09:56 |
| chi11y | spikeb, okey, great, thanx | 09:56 |
| Starnestommy | illabled: is the package | 09:56 |
| Starnestommy | 'xchat' installed? | 09:56 |
| illabled | don't think so - how to get it? | 09:57 |
| illabled | tried aptitude | 09:57 |
| Starnestommy | illabled: sudo apt-get install xchat | 09:57 |
| unop | illabled, i think you might need to enable all the ubuntu standard repositories and try installing it again | 09:57 |
| illabled | 'sudo aptitude install xchat' resulted in nothing | 09:57 |
| HSorgYves | unop: it is owned by root; but other files can be accessed by groups why not this one? | 09:57 |
| illabled | yeah i just installed and didn't get any updates at all | 09:58 |
| illabled | that was wieird | 09:58 |
| illabled | how do i enable them? | 09:58 |
| danand | illabled - did you have a net connection up when you installed? | 09:58 |
| swam | Anyone want to explain to me why my compiz works perfecty, except for the animation plugin? | 09:58 |
| j3kyll | pat5star : i couldn't find any configure or make commands, all i have is an ***.sh file which doesn't appear to do anything at the moment. im gonna check the readme. :\ | 09:58 |
| illabled | nope but tried again after i got the connection up | 09:59 |
| illabled | how to enable the repositories? | 09:59 |
| unop | HSorgYves, see it's like this -- the group root and the user www-data own the file .. but the permissions are 4750 .. now your user is a member of the www-data group, but that group has no read permissions on the file, so how do you expect to be able to access it? | 09:59 |
| tristano | hello all. i need to know my dhcp server address in order to using to configure properly another o.s., someone can help me? thanks | 10:00 |
| DistroJockey | illabled: System - Administration - Software Sources (tick all , except maybe sources) | 10:00 |
| danand | illabled - you'll probably find the install has disabled all the entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list file ie disabled all your repositories. Can you pastebin the file | 10:00 |
| illabled | ok cool thx | 10:00 |
| chenbo | aaa | 10:01 |
| illabled | can;t paste anything from that machine lol | 10:01 |
| HSorgYves | unop: permissions are --5-, why doesn't the group have read permission then? 5 = r + x??? | 10:01 |
| illabled | not using it in IRC at the mo | 10:01 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: read and info or README files first, but likely you just have to type ./***.sh to execute the program | 10:01 |
| illabled | that's what i'm trying to solve lol | 10:01 |
| illabled | a lot of catch 22s here tonight | 10:01 |
| unop | HSorgYves, either change the ownership of the file to make the group www-data the owner, or open change permissions so the world can read it .. sudo chown www-data.www-data file or sudo chmod 4755 file | 10:01 |
| unop | HSorgYves, which group owns that file? and you should answer your question yourself :) | 10:02 |
| pat5star | tristano: what is your computers address? | 10:02 |
| HSorgYves | unop: i know the workarounds... group? root owns the file | 10:02 |
| swam | Anyone want to help me with the animation plugin for compiz? | 10:02 |
| j3kyll | pat5star : ... i get this error : .//bin_unix/linux_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_mixer-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 10:02 |
| tristano | pat5star, what? | 10:02 |
| pat5star | tristano: if your on linux: type ifconfig | 10:02 |
| unop | HSorgYves, right root owns the file, is your user a member of root? | 10:03 |
| tristano | pat5star, already done | 10:03 |
| HSorgYves | unop: the user root owns the file not the group or am i completely wrong here? | 10:03 |
| gnufied | anyone is using dvtm here? | 10:03 |
| unop | HSorgYves, i think you need to read the output of ls -l file more carefully -- www-data is the user that owns it | 10:03 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: sounds like you're missing some files you need for that program then | 10:04 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: or you have the files, but they aren't in the expected location | 10:04 |
| j3kyll | pat5star : ugh : \ okay | 10:04 |

| zoidberg_ | ? | 10:04 |
| j3kyll | pat5star : im gonna try going to the programs irc channel i just found ... if i don't come back it worked lol.. | 10:05 |
| unop | zoidberg_, errm, have a look at dia | 10:05 |
| jimqode | zoidberg_, dia & inkscape | 10:05 |
| danand | illabled - uh oh :) You should be able to edit the file by hand - get rid of those # Auto disabled comments and enable the repositories you want by removing the # from the front of the line. Other wise goto System -> Admin -> Software Sources and enable the repositories from there. Be aware though that this might make your /etc/apt/sources.list file a bit of a mess ie duplicate entries etc. You can hand edit after to clean up though | 10:05 |
| pat5star | j3kyll: ok, gl | 10:05 |
| tristano | zoidberg_, inkscape | 10:05 |
| dinamizador | hello | 10:05 |
| j3kyll | pat5star : ty | 10:05 |

| swam | The animation plugin for my compiz wont enable, any ideas? | 10:05 |
| dinamizador | hello | 10:05 |
| pat5star | tristano: it should be something like: 192.168.100.100 | 10:06 |
| ai3gtmc | hi | 10:06 |
| tristano | pat5star, i haven't an usable external IP address | 10:06 |
| ai3gtmc | is there a mp3 to wma converter for ubuntu? | 10:06 |
| illabled | ok i am getting updates!! | 10:06 |
| illabled | now to install xchat! | 10:06 |
| tristano | pat5star, 1.237.49.xxx is my address | 10:06 |
| pat5star | tristano: I'm not trying to find your external ip address, I'm going to guess what your dhcp server address is based upon your computers address | 10:07 |
| illabled | and login with the thinkpad! | 10:07 |
| swam | mp3 to wma? do you mean wma to mp3? | 10:07 |
| ai3gtmc | no | 10:07 |
| ai3gtmc | mp3 to wma | 10:07 |
| swam | weird | 10:07 |
| spikeb | black | 10:07 |
| illabled | sos i can ask more questions :) | 10:07 |
| unop | ai3gtmc, ffmpeg ought to be able to do it | 10:07 |
| jimqode | what is wma good for? | 10:07 |
| spikeb | er, bleck. | 10:07 |
| ai3gtmc | u need to compress.. | 10:07 |
| * jimqode belches at the thought of wma format | 10:07 | |
| spikeb | jimat, nothing, but some portable players are stuck with it | 10:07 |
| swam | some portable players can have linux put on them :D | 10:07 |
| tristano | pat5star, with windows xp it's easy to know ti (ipconfig /all), but i remember it's completely different by ip address | 10:08 |
| jimat | Hi all. Does any body know how to print to a dot matrix printer in text mode. If I use lpr, such as "lpr test.txt", it will print in graphics mode. | 10:08 |
| pat5star | tristano: does the computer you're using get it's ip address from your router or whatever you are using for a dhcp server? | 10:08 |
| danand | illabled - "sudo apt-get update" then run "sudo apt-get upgrade". You should probably do this before installing xchat | 10:08 |
| spikeb | mine uses rockbox at the moment, even if it is a piece of crap | 10:08 |
| ai3gtmc | unop, how do i use it? | 10:08 |
| pat5star | tristano: ifconfig is the same thing in linux | 10:08 |
| unop | danand, upgrade shouldnt be necessary | 10:08 |
| vallhalla81 | swam: some portable players can have linux put on them? how? | 10:08 |
| danand | unop - no? | 10:08 |
| unop | ai3gtmc, its a command line too -- ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.wma | 10:09 |
| ai3gtmc | ic ok | 10:09 |
| swam | http://www.ipodlinux.org/Main_Page | 10:09 |
| tristano | pat5star, but doesn't say me which is my dhcp server address, differently by windows | 10:09 |

| tristano | pat5star, i use linux for 5 years, but it's the first time that i have this trouble | 10:09 |
| swam | is the animation plugin currently working for compiz fusion? | 10:10 |
| danand | unop - its not strictly necessary i agree. However, you _should_ upgrade your box before installing anything else... | 10:11 |
| swam | It just doesnt do anything when I enable it | 10:11 |
| bullgard4 | dns53: Why are there two files /usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop and /usr/share/app-install/desktop/epiphany.desktop having exactly the same contents? | 10:11 |
| Pilchard | how i can get this open source driver | 10:11 |
| pat5star | tristano: usually it's the lowest number of whatever subnet you are on: eg if your ip address is 192.168.1.105 then your dhcp server would be 192.168.1.1 | 10:11 |
| Pilchard | ?? | 10:11 |
| Pilchard | im with radeon 9200 | 10:11 |
| Yuchant | can I upload something from ssh? like root@myserver: grab from localhost(except referring to me)? | 10:11 |
| jimqode | cens0red, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk_deer | 10:11 |
| suprie | haloo | 10:12 |
| cens0red | jimqode thanks. | 10:12 |
| spikeb | Pilchard, ubuntu should use it out of the box | 10:12 |
| unop_ | danand, err, no, if anything else wants updated packages, apt will satisfy those dependencies and bring in the updated dependencies too | 10:12 |
| pat5star | Yuchant: yes, if you want to upload from your computer to remote host: use scp ./file.txt user@myserver:/where/ever/you/want/to/put/it/file.txt | 10:13 |
| DistroJockey | bullgard4: Only reason I can think of is compatibility / backwards compatabilty | 10:13 |
| tristano | pat5star, ok, but: inte addr: 1.237.49.xxx, default gateway addr: 1.237.48.1 ... | 10:13 |
| j3kyll | if i've been given this link irc://irc.quakenet.org/assaultcube is the irc server easily seen as irc.quakenet.org/assaultcube? | 10:13 |
| Yuchant | thank you very much pat5star! | 10:14 |
| pat5star | Yuchant: uw | 10:14 |
| pat5star | yw | 10:14 |
| swam | Can anyone help me to get the animation plugin working for compiz? | 10:14 |
| pat5star | tristano: I've got to go, sry...hopefully someone else can help | 10:14 |
| bullgard4 | DistroJockey: The usual way to obtain compatibility or backward compatibility is a symlink, is it not? | 10:14 |
| HSorgYves | unop: no, that's not true, why should group be before owner? | 10:14 |
| unop_ | danand, upgrades are not always necessary -- and you should be aware of the fact that upgrades _can_ break things, which is why some administrators do not install upgrades each time one is available but put them through review first | 10:14 |
| unop_ | HSorgYves, man ls | 10:14 |
| DistroJockey | bullgard4: depends on the developer I guess | 10:15 |
| HSorgYves | unop_: i simply did chown <otheruser> file, then the first (!) name is changed | 10:15 |
| bullgard4 | DistroJockey: Thank you for commenting. | 10:15 |
| jimat | Can anyone give me a hint how to print to a dot matrix printer in text mode? If I use lpr, such as "lpr test.txt", it will print in graphics mode. | 10:16 |
| DistroJockey | bullgard4: but symlinks are nice, yeah. Np. I have not dealt with that and it was a gut feeling :) | 10:16 |
| jimqode | jimat, just cat the file to parallel port | 10:16 |
| Slart | jimat: can't you just copy the file to the printer port? afaik that's the way it worked 20 years ago.. might have changed though =) | 10:16 |
| Plantain | Hey, I've got a tablet PC that's worked just fine since installing wacom-tools. The issue I'm having is the drawable area seems to think it's smaller than the actual screen size, is there anyway to force this? | 10:17 |
| jimqode | jimat, cat file >/dev/lp0 | 10:17 |
| DistroJockey | jimat: using CUPS? | 10:17 |
| jimat | thx for hints I'll try | 10:17 |
| Kheops | hi | 10:19 |
| Kheops | some help ? | 10:19 |
| DistroJockey | Kheops: Greetings. Ask away :) | 10:19 |
| Kheops | i want to mount a NTFS partition with Write Read and Execute rights for all users how can i do it ? | 10:19 |
| danand | unop_ - agreed. but this is a brand new install... better to start with a fully up to date box. I can see your point about reviewing packages that have upgrades available - i always check what apt is gonna do.... but for a fresh install, I always grab all the available updates and security fixes... Just my personal pref i guess. However he should _definately_ perform upgrades required due to security | 10:19 |
| Chris| | can someone help me with getting fbpanel on startup? | 10:19 |
| Kheops | DistroJockey: i just ask | 10:20 |

| DistroJockey | Kheops: good start. No I don't, sorry | 10:21 |
| unop__ | danand, you're advising him to bring his box upto a security level which i appreciate -- but in the context of installing xchat, it's not necessary to upgrade which is not necessary | 10:21 |
| jimqode | !NTFS-3g | Kheops | 10:21 |
| ubotu | Kheops: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 10:21 |

| rahmen | "glxinfo -display :0" outputs "direct rendering: Yes" and "glxinfo -display :1" outputs "direct rendering: No". I can't play a game due to the "No".. can I somehow change displays? or make direct rendering work on both? | 10:34 |
| Noiano | hello | 10:34 |
| jtravnick | how can i flash a bios without windows? | 10:35 |
| Noiano | does anyone know whether is possible to use a general ieee1394 camera as webcam... | 10:35 |
| DistroJockey | rahmen: alot of programs accept -display as an option, you could try -display :0 | 10:35 |
| Slart | jtravnick: you could try and boot from freedos or such | 10:35 |
| guestbuntu55 | DistroJockey: http://pastebin.com/m49d04e52 | 10:35 |
| Slart | jtravnick:if the flashing software runs under dos that is | 10:35 |
| rahmen | DistroJockey: ok I'll try | 10:35 |
| DistroJockey | guestbuntu55: looking | 10:35 |
| tehknow | can someone help me with updating to 8.04 | 10:35 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 10:35 |
| unop__ | tehknow, please go to #ubuntu+1 | 10:36 |
| Slart | tehknow: ask in #ubuntu+1 that's the official channel for hardy support | 10:36 |
| tehknow | I am on 7.10 atm when I run update-manager I get "cannot initiate dbus" | 10:36 |
| guestbuntu55 | tehknow: #ubuntu-1 will help you | 10:36 |
| Slart | #ubuntu-1 ? | 10:36 |
| guestbuntu55 | #ubuntu+1, sorry | 10:37 |
| guestbuntu55 | typo | 10:37 |
| Slart | =) | 10:37 |
| guestbuntu55 | :) | 10:37 |
| rahmen | DistroJockey: still uses display :1.... it outputs "Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0"." | 10:37 |
| jtravnick | slart dont have freedos is that an system? and yes the flash runs in dos real killer also dont have a floppy drive and asus wants me to format a floppy | 10:37 |
| _ghindo_ | My Ubuntu laptop has been running really hot lately - is there anything that could be causing this? | 10:37 |
| guestbuntu55 | _ghindo_: have you been leaving it on? | 10:38 |
| Slart | jtravnick: freedos is a free version of dos.. it's an operating system.. but I think you can make it boot from a floppy, usb or maybe even a cd | 10:38 |
| _ghindo_ | guestbuntu55: not for any unusual length of time, if that's what you mean | 10:38 |
| DistroJockey | rahmen: sorry | 10:38 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 10:39 |
| rahmen | DistroJockey: thnx for trying at least :] | 10:39 |
| jtravnick | Slart, cool am goggling it now | 10:39 |
| guestbuntu55 | DistroJockey: what did you see in the file? | 10:39 |
| nomopofomo | I have a DVD ISO which I'm trying to downsize but the program knows that it's a mounted image. Is there any way to make the program think that it's an actual DVD? It's looking for /dev/hdc so what could I do? | 10:39 |
| guestbuntu55 | _ghindo_: Do you leave it plugged into the wall. | 10:39 |
| guestbuntu55 | ? | 10:39 |
| DistroJockey | guestbuntu55: looks pretty good, maybe try adding... | 10:40 |
| ActionParsnip | nomopofomo: if its mounted then its accessible like a dvd. what are you trying to do | 10:40 |
| danand | jtravnick - on a lot of systems you can update the bios using an old win98 boot floppy... | 10:40 |
| guestbuntu55 | DistroJockey: addng what? | 10:40 |
| DistroJockey | guestbuntu55: Section "Module" Load"glx" Load"GLcore" Load"v4l" EndSection | 10:40 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, I'm using DVD95 to make it able to fit a 4gb DVD. | 10:40 |
| _ghindo_ | guestbuntu55: What do you mean? | 10:40 |
| yougbt | woi | 10:40 |
| DistroJockey | guestbuntu55: scuse formating :) | 10:40 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 10:40 |
| TrioTorus | what command shows me all the packages that depend on "package"? | 10:40 |
| guestbuntu55 | _ghino_: left plugged in the charger. | 10:41 |
| danand | jtravnick - best to look at the manufacturers site for your mainboard though and see what they advise | 10:41 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, I've used gisomount to mount it and it automounts it in the /media folder. Any ideas? | 10:41 |
| guestbuntu55 | _ghindo_: What kind of laptop do you have? | 10:41 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, could I somehow create a custom device in the /dev folder? | 10:41 |
| _ghindo_ | A dell Inspiron 1420n - it came preloaded with Ubuntu | 10:41 |
| josh | which is better: upstart or initng | 10:41 |
| ActionParsnip | nomopofomo: then its ready to go surely. Ive not used DVD95 but any mounted DVD is seen as a folder in the file system | 10:41 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok _ghindo_ | 10:41 |
| jtravnick | danand, they want me to make a bootable floppy with only there bios software on it | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | nomopofomo: what does DVD95 say when you try to use it? | 10:42 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, "File /media/5_CENTIMETERS_PER_SECOND(vcd) doesn't exists !" | 10:42 |
| guestbuntu55 | _ghindo_: I have a Dell Dimension 5100 tower. I dont know much about Inspirons because we have the XPS laptop. Call Dell and see what they say. | 10:43 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, I think it's looking for a device file. | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | nomopofomo: and the 5 centime... is the mount point of the ISO? | 10:43 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, yes. | 10:43 |
| _ghindo_ | guestbuntu55: thanks | 10:44 |
| guestbuntu55 | DistroJockey: Now what? | 10:44 |
| danand | jtravnick - i had this problem the other day ... i was lucky and managed to dig out a very old boot floppy with win98 on it :) if there is a site you know of that i can upload a disk image of that floppy to, i will do that for you | 10:44 |
| guestbuntu55 | _ghindo_: Your welcome | 10:44 |
| DistroJockey | guestbuntu55: log out and restart the X server? | 10:45 |
| guestbuntu55 | ok | 10:45 |
| jtravnick | danand, none that i know of :( thanks for the offer though | 10:45 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, the default options are /dev/hda /dev/hdc and /dev/dvd | 10:45 |
| Jadd76 | Is migrating settings from one system to another as simple as copying the home folder? | 10:45 |
| rahmen | I need some help with direct rendering, glxinfo and lspci outputs: http://pastebin.com/m4c361c8f | 10:46 |
| danand | jtravnick - updating the bios without a win pc is a pain :( | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | Jadd76: pretty much | 10:46 |
| Jadd76 | What does this command do: find . -depth -print0 | sudo cpio --null --sparse -pvd /new/ | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | rahmen: what if you just use glxinfo with no args? | 10:47 |
| nomopofomo | Is it possible to create a device in the /dev folder that points to a folder for the purpose of making Linux think that it was a DVD? | 10:47 |
| jtravnick | danand, yea i discovering that my own fault though hard drive was going out on my main system so went and picked up a new one 250g only problem need a new bios to support it guess i should have just stuck with under 200g | 10:48 |
| Slart | Jadd76: the first part searches for files in the current folder and sends the filenames to the next part (after the '|' character).. I don't know what that part does.. man cpio might tell you more | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | nomopofomo: totally. sudo ln -s <something> <link name> | 10:48 |
| rahmen | ActionParsnip: same as display :1 | 10:48 |
| un0p | Jadd76, it clones the current directory into /new/ | 10:49 |
| Pilchard | hi again | 10:49 |
| danand | jtravnick - always the way... fix one problem, then run into another... bah :( | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | rahmen: can you run glxgears | 10:49 |
| Pilchard | i want to play starcraft | 10:49 |
| Pilchard | but its running too sucky | 10:49 |
| captainm | Jadd76, alternatively you could use "sudo cp -a -v -u /home/* /newhome/ " | 10:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Pilchard: do you have your graphics drivers installed? | 10:49 |
| Jadd76 | So what's the difference between simply copying everything recursively and that cloning command? | 10:49 |
| Pilchard | yes | 10:49 |
| rahmen | ActionParsnip: gears are shown.. but it outputs "Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0"." in the terminal | 10:50 |
| captainm | Jadd76, that has to do with things like symlinks, user-rights, hardlinks and stuff like that | 10:50 |
| jtravnick | danand, yep at first thought id get away with it since ubuntu installer seen that it was a 250g hard drive even though the bios didnt installed fine just get a grub error | 10:50 |
| Jadd76 | captainm: so I really should run your command if I want to migrate my home folder from one system to another? | 10:51 |
| ActionParsnip | rahmen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337539 | 10:51 |
| DistroJockey | rahmen: In xorg.conf maybe you need to add in Section "Module" Load "dri" | 10:52 |
| captainm | Jadd76, My command is one of the options yes. | 10:52 |
| Jadd76 | captainm: :-) but is it a better option? | 10:52 |
| captainm | Jadd76, I've used it yesterday to move my /home to a separate partition. It worked for me ;) | 10:52 |
| un0p | Jadd76, cpio does an exact clone -- Jadd76 's option does not (by default) copy dotfiles and preserve permissions | 10:52 |
| un0p | captainm, ^^ sorry | 10:53 |
| rahmen | ActionParsnip: btw glxgears gives me 6-7k fps | 10:53 |
| captainm | un0p, Jadd76 Aha, so the first option is the better one | 10:53 |
| rahmen | DistroJockey: I've tried that.. and many other xorg changes :] | 10:54 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, It's not working. It's telling me that it's not a file. Probably because it's a directory to a symlink. | 10:54 |
| nomopofomo | ActionParsnip, reverse that. symlink to a directory. | 10:54 |
| BeckVOIP | hi | 10:54 |
| BeckVOIP | I am Beck | 10:54 |
| un0p | captainm, indeed -- probably why it was concocted in the first place when they realized cp has that limitation | 10:54 |
| BeckVOIP | Can I ask you some question | 10:54 |
| DistroJockey | rahmen: *nods* It's very hard to get right :( | 10:54 |
| BeckVOIP | I'd like to join in #Asterisk Room | 10:55 |
| captainm | !ask | BeckVOIP | 10:55 |
| ubotu | BeckVOIP: 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. :-) | 10:55 |
| BeckVOIP | How can I do it? | 10:55 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: it is working on some other system, any other suggestion? | 10:55 |
| ActionParsnip | BeckVOIP: try /join #asterisk | 10:55 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, is this the suexec problem? | 10:55 |
| Jadd76 | unOp: but with the additional switches, does cp do the same thing? | 10:55 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: not suexec problem, file access problem when group has r-x but i get permission denied on read | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | rahmen: was that link any good to you? | 10:56 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: the file is suexec though | 10:56 |
| rahmen | ActionParsnip: reading atm :] he's got the same error so.. | 10:56 |
| BeckVOIP | they siad that u need to identify for that chanel | 10:56 |
| BeckVOIP | So can u pls help me | 10:56 |
| Darkside | Hai people... I'm about to install Ubuntu Gutsy onto my LG LW60 laptop, and while thats not on the tested laptop list, i found this piece of information on installing Debian on it: | 10:57 |

| BeckVOIP | Can u pls help me to join at #Asterisk Room | 10:57 |
| Darkside | how would i adapt this information to installing Ubuntu | 10:57 |
| un0p | Jadd76, i would still use find and cpio tho | 10:57 |
| Starnestommy | BeckVOIP: register with nickserv. http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup explains how | 10:57 |
| Jadd76 | unOp: OK, thanks | 10:57 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, what happens when you try this?? cat /path/to/suexec | 10:57 |
| rahmen | ActionParsnip: " sudo depmod -a Then restart your x-server. It worked for me. If it doesn't work for you, it means that XGL is forcing the 'Desktop Compositing' extension on in fglrx, and there's no hope while using XGL." I'll try that I guess.. | 10:57 |
| un0p | Jadd76, and i think it might need the -R switch too .. | 10:58 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: permission denied on one, some crap on the screen on the other computer | 10:58 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: permissions are the same, groups are (nearly) the same, i.e. other ids for example | 10:59 |
| BuFF | could anyone recommend me ebook about base station design for mobile connection ? | 10:59 |
| Jadd76 | You know, it would be nice if someone wrote a small guide on wiki.ubuntu.com on migrating the home folder from system to system, unOp | 10:59 |
| un0p | Jadd76, actually, _no not_ run cp with -R like that .. it'll clone the entire directory structure from / down | 10:59 |
| Jadd76 | I found plenty of guides on making home into a seperate partition, but not on moving it | 11:00 |
| Dr_willis | Jadd76, i just copy them over.. :) or keep them on theur own partition and mount them to /home. Or use a nfs home export. | 11:00 |
| un0p | Jadd76, yea, i would put it up on the ubuntu wiki but i did make a couple of wiki entries once but they were deleted, so, it seems like only ops can do that | 11:00 |
| Dr_willis | Jadd76, the 'proper' way to clone - it would be to use the tar command and some options Iblive. to properly remake all the links and other special files that may be in there. | 11:01 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, ok, lets concentrate on this one file for now -- can you cat it? | 11:01 |
| Dr_willis | of course readding all the passwords and stuff for a dozen+ users would be a hassle. | 11:02 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: not on the system i am interested in | 11:02 |
| Darkside | Does the Ubuntu livecd have the ipw2200 drivers onit? | 11:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkside: i believe so yes | 11:02 |
| Jadd76 | unOp: shame. Maybe on the ubuntuforums.org tutorial section? | 11:02 |
| Darkside | cool | 11:02 |
| Smegzo1 | Is it possible to set an image as gnome wallpaper from command line? What command do I need? | 11:02 |
| captainm | Jadd76, But moving home to it's own partition requires moving it :P http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/01/29/move-home-to-its-own-partition/ | 11:03 |
| Darkside | Also: http://209.85.175.104/search?q=cache:6eiSlbn7UMMJ:www.ryanheise.com/LW60/+debian+lw60&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&client=opera | 11:03 |
| Darkside | thats info about installing *debian* on my lapop | 11:03 |
| Darkside | how would i adapt that to installing Ubuntu? | 11:03 |
| Jadd76 | Smegzol: yes, it involves a gconf key, just a second | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Darkside: boot to livecd and it'll work if it does,wont it | 11:03 |
| Darkside | s/lapop/laptop | 11:03 |
| Darkside | ActionParsnip, but note it has stuff about the pcmcia thingys | 11:04 |
| Darkside | how you have to set some boot options, etc | 11:04 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, so, that's the problem -- let's see the output of this command -- whoami; id; ls -ln suexec | 11:04 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: how can i check that i am really in the group? id <username> enough? | 11:04 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, groups | 11:04 |
| Darkside | Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst, and change the boot parameters so that "acpi=on" and "apm=off" <--- | 11:04 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, id works too | 11:04 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, you could also examine /etc/group | 11:05 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: ok there is the problem then...; id and id <username> are different; do i need to reload the groups after a change? | 11:05 |
| danand | HSorgYves - "groups" in a terminal works too | 11:06 |
| rahmen | ActionParsnip: Didn't work.. =/ | 11:06 |
| HSorgYves | danand: thx | 11:06 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, did you change your group membership recently? within the last login session? | 11:06 |
| HSorgYves | hmmm, might be, relogon? | 11:06 |
| nomopofomo | Does anyone have any good ideas as to how I can resize a DVD to about 4gb? | 11:07 |
| Dr_willis | nomopofomo, try k9copy | 11:07 |
| tiax | nomopofomo: avidemux maybe | 11:07 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: working fine now, ty so much! | 11:07 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, so what was it? | 11:07 |
| ||arifaX | hi, i moved my hdd into my new (identical) laptop. found out that iftab is no longer present in gutsy and changed now the 70-persistent-net.rules files to map my new mac to eth0. still have some problems with wlan. is there a way to initiate a kind of autodetection progress for this like dpkg-reconfigure, would be much easier next time and would make sure everything is fine now? | 11:07 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: unrefreshed group membership | 11:08 |
| tiax | I want to publish a calendar with evolution, with its webcal plugin, what's the server side? Just an .ics-file with webdav? | 11:08 |
| stephanb2 | hello everybody | 11:08 |
| Jadd76 | captainm: true :-D, didn't think of that | 11:08 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, what do you mean? | 11:08 |
| dgjones | nomopofomo, kpcopy has an option to specify the dvd size you're copying onto, I think its under the .iso settings | 11:08 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: i su'ed to root, changed group membership, exit and tryed... when I relogon then it worked... | 11:08 |
| nomopofomo | k9copy looks good. | 11:08 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, right, you should always do that once you change membership :) | 11:09 |
| seyed | hi all | 11:09 |
| Jadd76 | Smegzol: gconftool-2 --type String --set /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /home/user/filename.png | 11:09 |
| nomopofomo | But will it allow me to use a mounted ISO? | 11:10 |
| stephanb2 | has anybody here played with Skype 2.0 on Feisty amd64 ? | 11:10 |
| cecece | hey,, | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | nomark, use it for what? use it as a source? try it and see. | 11:10 |
| Jadd76 | Smegzol: use gconf-editor to discover all sorts of settings that you can edit at the command line using gconftool-2 | 11:11 |
| Jadd76 | Smegzol: changing a gconf setting is nearly always applied immediately | 11:11 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: ;-) | 11:12 |
| HSorgYves | should md5sum always report the same md5 hash independent on the hardware/os? | 11:15 |
| DistroJockey | HSorgYves: I should think so | 11:15 |
| Juhaz | yes | 11:16 |
| HSorgYves | ok, so when its different the files are different | 11:16 |
| despotars | ovatos | 11:16 |
| aammhhyy | heii,, | 11:16 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, indeed | 11:17 |
| dns53 | there are programs under windows to compute md5 hashes, microsoft makes one | 11:17 |
| aammhhyy | heii,, | 11:18 |
| HSorgYves | dns53: oh maybe my os was not clear, both times its linux, just another distro version | 11:18 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, it wouldn't be much use if the md5sum was dependant on the system now, would it? :) | 11:18 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, and please, try and not use md5sum -- use sha1sum or something better | 11:19 |
| captainm | un0p, What's wrong with md5sum? | 11:20 |
| gopodge | Hi. I am running Ubuntu 7.10. When I visit www.playstation.com.au the page is broken. Is it just dodgy code on the website or is it my just my PC? | 11:20 |
| DistroJockey | un0p: md5sum is the most common, sha1sum is better in what way/s? | 11:21 |
| un0p | captainm, md5 is no longer as secure as it was once | 11:21 |
| un0p | DistroJockey, collisions havent been detected in the sha1 algorithm as of yet, thats what makes it better | 11:21 |
| DistroJockey | un0p: k, thanks :) | 11:22 |
| nomopofomo | Poll: what do you like better? Gnome or KE? | 11:23 |
| dns53 | no flamewars please | 11:23 |
| un0p | DistroJockey, actually, the main advantage would be the longer hash - but that's also linked with collision-avoidance | 11:23 |
| HSorgYves | well, i have differences from one computer to another for /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/modules.alias for example | 11:23 |
| nomopofomo | I'm just curious to see what people perceive to be the benefits and drawbacks of each environment. | 11:23 |
| gopodge | nomopofomo: I just use the default that comes with Ubuntu.. | 11:23 |
| un0p | nomopofomo, polls to happen in #ubuntu-offtopic :) | 11:24 |
| DistroJockey | un0p: Fair enough, cheers | 11:24 |
| nomopofomo | oh :O | 11:24 |
| dESAASEd | how to i get the toolbar in the bottom of the screen, like mac... seen may screenshots. any hints? | 11:25 |
| DistroJockey | gopodge: That site is full of flash, and just briefly looking at it, it's bad | 11:26 |
| unop_ | HSorgYves, that appears to be a text-file - generated by the package's installer -- and that's very system dependant -- so, yes, it's likely to change from system to system | 11:26 |
| Filled-Void | dESAASEd, AWN? | 11:26 |
| farkewi1 | how do you change workgroups in ubuntu | 11:26 |
| bastid_raZor | dESAASEd; AWN is what you may want.. google for it . you'll have to add some repo's .. | 11:26 |
| unop_ | farkewi1, you mean windows workgroups? | 11:26 |
| farkewi1 | yeah or doesnt it apply in linux? | 11:26 |
| dESAASEd | think so, did make this cod sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator | 11:27 |
| Filled-Void | dESAASEd, Theres a huge guide on how to install AWN and awn curves on ubuntuforums. | 11:27 |
| bastid_raZor | dESAASEd; AWN is avant windows navigator | 11:27 |
| clarezoe | hi, can anyone tell me how to uninstall texlive completely, I've messed up all the settings by updating my system | 11:27 |
| dESAASEd | ok thanks gonna go to ubuntu forum and check | 11:27 |
| dns53 | apt-get --purge remove package | 11:27 |
| nomopofomo | Is --purge the same as Remove Completely in synaptic? | 11:28 |
| HSorgYves | unop__: the other /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/modules.* as well? | 11:28 |
| dns53 | yes | 11:28 |
| swoopdk | anybody know how to either change the default encoding in ubuntu to Latin1 or make Emacs use latin1 pr default ??? | 11:28 |
| unop__ | HSorgYves, i should imagine yes | 11:28 |
| ricanelite | is the vlc plugin for firefox the way to go in watching videos online? | 11:28 |
| HSorgYves | unop__: great thx | 11:28 |
| gerro | ricanelite: yes or totem plugin which ever movie player you use just make sure it has all the codecs you need | 11:29 |
| phaidros | could it be that there are new dvd protection mechanisms? I have decss installen, but all players refuse to show the menu or play the movie, just the trailer which says, "copy is a crime" is shown :( | 11:29 |
| unop__ | swoopdk, set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1 | 11:29 |
| unop__ | swoopdk, set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-1' | 11:29 |
| swoopdk | unop, which will that do ? change the whoel system to use latin 1 ? | 11:29 |
| gerro | cat /proc/cpuinfo reports I have two cores yet I don't and lshw reports my cpu size is 2400 and capacity is 2400 I think the cpu I bought is too fast for motherboard so being underclocked but what is with this multiple cores thing? | 11:30 |
| swoopdk | bash: set-terminal-coding-system: command not found | 11:30 |
| unop__ | swoopdk, no, just the current emacs session -- if you place it in your emacs profile, then it applies for future emacs sessions as well | 11:30 |
| swoopdk | ah okay | 11:30 |
| unop__ | swoopdk, that is not a system command - it's an emacs command | 11:30 |
| swoopdk | 2 secs gonna try it out | 11:30 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: What CPU is it? | 11:30 |
| ricanelite | okay thanks gerro. Also i have a own gaming site where i write up news, reviews. Now I will like to record the gameplay footage of the game im reviewing or playing onto my site. Now I know I could get a Dazzle which connects onto my laptops usb and connect the console to the dazzle via composite cables. Now is there something similar or will the dazzle work? | 11:31 |
| swoopdk | i just realised that.. just out o my mind because i have been struggeling with latex and emacs for a while now | 11:31 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: intel pentium 4 3.8ghz | 11:31 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: with Hyper Threading? | 11:31 |
| unop__ | swoopdk, if you want to change the default language for the system -- you need to configure the locale package or set the $LANG env. var. | 11:31 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: might be able to get you the exact model or capabilities output if you need | 11:31 |
| dmacnutt | ricanelite: fraps? | 11:31 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: yes it does | 11:31 |
| ricanelite | whats fraps? | 11:31 |
| swoopdk | unop, im fine with just emacs being the correct languate | 11:31 |
| HSorgYves | unop__: which *sum would you use? sha1sum or one of the others? | 11:32 |
| swoopdk | since i will beusing that for editing of the tex files | 11:32 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: that usually shows as 2 cores | 11:32 |
| swoopdk | but just for the record, how do i change the locale package if i need it later ? | 11:32 |
| dmacnutt | ricanelite: http://www.fraps.com/ | 11:32 |
| notebook | could anyone help with two very basic questions about OO Calc? | 11:32 |
| swoopdk | and would it have any effect (ill effect) on other applications to change it ? | 11:32 |
| ricanelite | okay thanks | 11:32 |
| unop__ | swoopdk, dpkg-reconfigure -plow locale (i should imagine) | 11:32 |
| captainm | !ask | notebook | 11:32 |
| ubotu | notebook: 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. :-) | 11:32 |
| magnetron | !locale > swoopdk | 11:32 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: what exact benefits does hyper threading give? and am I right its underclocking it? Because I might put in a 2.4ghz dual core | 11:32 |
| dmacnutt | hyperthreading imho isn't worth the overhead to use an SMP kernel | 11:33 |
| notebook | just trying to make a column that lists a set of dates automatically, and another that subtracts an amount from the row above it each time. | 11:33 |
| === ajmorris is now known as ajmorris|AFK | ||
| unop__ | HSorgYves, for most computations, i use sha1sum -- but even sha1 might not be reliable for much longer, depends on how far into the future i want to rely on these hashes -- sha512sum probably is the safest at the moment | 11:33 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: core 2 duo at 2.4 is two true cores running at 2.4 each, hyper-threading is virtual | 11:33 |
| ricanelite | fraps looks very interesting but i will still need something to run my xbox 360, ps3, wii console to the computer | 11:33 |
| gnufied | i have a question about dvtm! | 11:34 |
| dmacnutt | oh I see | 11:34 |
| dmacnutt | you aren't using the pc to play | 11:34 |
| HSorgYves | unop__: that's what i thought | 11:34 |
| gnufied | anyone is using dvtm here? | 11:34 |
| dmacnutt | yeah you will need some sort of hardware device then | 11:34 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: yeah my system has support for dual cores I found out but need a bios update I think | 11:34 |
| HSorgYves | unop__: i use it as snapshot of my system, mainly executable files and libs | 11:34 |
| gnufied | how do i scroll back into history buffer in dvtm? | 11:34 |
| Filled-Void | ricanelite, Are you looking for an alternative to fraps? | 11:34 |
| swoopdk | thanks guys emacs works now :D Been struggeling with that for several hours .. and the fix was one quick irc question away :d | 11:34 |
| swoopdk | amazing ! ;) | 11:34 |
| dmacnutt | ricanelite: plextor makes some decent USB capture devices | 11:34 |
| dmacnutt | ricanelite: that I believe work with linux | 11:34 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: yeah, probably | 11:35 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: I would hate to be wasting 1.4ghz on this sucker besides I think the cpu limiting is making some 3d apps crash | 11:35 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: core 2 duo is much more efficient than a P4 hyper-threaded | 11:35 |
| unop__ | HSorgYves, if i were you, i'd choose sha1sum for speed, sha512sum for security -- and the others like sha224, sha256, etc for something inbetween | 11:36 |
| === akoe_ceweq is now known as Ce_dzuelfia | ||

| gerro | DistroJockey: so if you have a dual core motherboard only options are a completely crappy single core (like around 2.0 not 3.0 ghz range) or a dual core? | 11:36 |
| dESAASEd | its different how to install awn on hardy or gutsy, how can i se what i have? | 11:37 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: What MB do you have? | 11:37 |

| pyalot | howdy. Quick question, I've got a dual monitor setup, and I read hardy heron was all about never fiddling with xorg.conf again... I can't seem to find any way to enable the dual head in hardy? | 11:39 |
| Pici | pyalot: Please join #ubuntu+1 for Hardy/8.04 support/discussion. | 11:40 |
| pyalot | Pici: thx | 11:40 |
| gerro | pyalot: finally they stopped messing with xorg | 11:40 |
| dmacnutt | awww I grew up messing with xorg | 11:40 |
| dmacnutt | :) | 11:40 |
| DistroJockey | gerro: Shuttle or Abit? | 11:41 |
| pyalot | gerro: nevertheless I find that I now have to mess with xorg.conf again... | 11:41 |
| gerro | pyalot: http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | pyalot, what video card you have? 1 or 2 crds? | 11:41 |
| gerro | DistroJockey: shuttle | 11:41 |
| pyalot | Dr_willis: nvidia 8800 dual dvi out | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | pyalot, use the nvidia tools to enable twinview. that worked for me.. and worked for the last 2+ releases of ubuntu | 11:41 |
| Dr_willis | pyalot, i think they are in their own package now on hardy however. | 11:42 |
| pyalot | Dr_willis: on gutsy there _was_ a graphical gui tool built in managing that perfectly as far as I recall. | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig | 11:42 |
| pyalot | Dr_willis: no idea how it did it, but it worked. | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | pyalot, its udner hardy also. Its just not installed as part of the drivers. | 11:42 |
| Dr_willis | they just alter the xorg.conf. bckup the xorg.conf and run thetool, and compare the 2 files. | 11:43 |
| gerro | Dr_willis: should I have my monitor plugged into my graphics card or the other slot | 11:43 |
| pyalot | Dr_willis: yeah I can also alter the xorg.conf myself, I've on varius occasions configured xinerama and dual view for nvidia myself, and I've got plenty of reference files for that around. | 11:43 |
| Dr_willis | pyalot, i keep a 'archive' of my old x configs. :) | 11:44 |
| pyalot | Dr_willis: it's just, i wonder, you know, about not touching xofg.conf "ever again" | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | pyalot, the extent that i touch it is to do a nvidia-xconfig --twinview | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | and thats about it normally | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | or was it nvidia-settings --twinview | 11:44 |
| dmacnutt | how to add *.asc keys for package verification | 11:44 |
| Dr_willis | one of those commands is a gui, other is terminal only | 11:44 |

| luddite | i have two PC's running ubuntu connected by a crossoever cable - they can communicate - ping/share. so all is good | 11:55 |
| dmacnutt | Yanch0: via ssh? | 11:56 |
| lesshaste | is there a 2.0.0.13 update from firefox yet for ubuntu? | 11:57 |
| luddite | PC-A can connect to the internet(im on it now) via eth1 (which is a USB cable modem). PC-B can not see the internet even though its default gateway is set to PC-A | 11:57 |
| Lamego | Yanch0, probably you need to provide the password on the pg dump command line, anyway, your question would be better placed on a postgres specific channel :) | 11:57 |
| Xteven | Yanch0: check the pg_dumpall command to see if it allows you to pass a password on the commandline | 11:57 |
| Odd-rationale | Yanch0: do you have write permissions to /media/extrahdd/dbbkp | 11:57 |
| Odd-rationale | ? | 11:57 |
| Lamego | lesshaste, if there is, its available on your updates notification | 11:57 |
| officina | is there anyone who can help us in italian support for ubuntu 7.10 ? | 11:57 |
| lesshaste | Lamego: ah then the answer is no.. which is a little worrying | 11:58 |
| Lamego | !it | 11:58 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 11:58 |
| officina | !it | 11:58 |
| unop_ | Yanch0, see the note about making a ~/.pgpass file - http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/app-pg-dumpall.html | 11:58 |
| Lamego | lesshaste, not really, security updates are always provided to the current released version, so even if you do have an earlier firefox version it does include security fixes from latest versions | 11:58 |
| unop_ | Yanch0, also - http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/libpq-pgpass.html | 11:59 |
| dESAASEd | cant open avant window navigator? someone who can fix this? | 11:59 |
| Lamego | dESAASEd, have you build it from source ? | 11:59 |
| astro76 | lesshaste: it's generally been available through updates a few days after releases | 11:59 |
| Xteven | luddite: do you have ip forwarding enabled ? | 11:59 |
| lesshaste | astro76: ok thanks | 12:00 |
| lesshaste | Lamego: you are too optimistic :) | 12:00 |
| luddite | Xteven yes in /proc/sys/network | 12:00 |
| Xteven | luddite: and NAT ? | 12:00 |
| dESAASEd | i made the how to from this guidehttp://wiki.awn-project.org/DistributionGuides#Hardy_Heron_.288.0x.29_and_later | 12:00 |
| Lamego | lesshaste, is not about beeing optimistic, firefox is a main package, there is paid people to provide such updates :) | 12:00 |
| luddite | i dont believe so. | 12:00 |
| luddite | Xteven i dont belioeve so | 12:00 |
| Xteven | luddite: ok | 12:01 |
| dESAASEd | the installation was made with no problems | 12:01 |
| Xteven | luddite: then thats the problem probably | 12:01 |
| luddite | i tried to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinClientHowtoNAT but it seems faulty as some files did not exist | 12:01 |
| Xteven | luddite: allright | 12:02 |
| Jaffarkelshac | anyone got experience in updating the clamav | 12:02 |
| Xteven | luddite: can you see packets leaving from the external interface ? | 12:02 |
| luddite | Xteven : http://www.revsys.com/writings/quicktips/nat.html didnt work either(though it confused me somewhat which may have been its intent ;-) | 12:03 |
| luddite | Xteven: into the internet from PC-A? i dont know how i could see that | 12:03 |
| Xteven | luddite: ok | 12:03 |
| dESAASEd | do i have to have desktop effect on to have awn ? | 12:03 |
| Xteven | luddite: try this on pc-A: tcpdump -ni eth0 host 1.2.3.4 | 12:04 |
| Xteven | assuming eth0 is your external interface | 12:04 |
| luddite | but on pcB when i ping pcA its good. however when i ping goodle.com etc it says host unreachable. | 12:04 |
| Xteven | and you are pinging to 1.2.3.4 from pc-B | 12:04 |
| luddite | ok | 12:04 |
| luddite | ha- i started typing it into irc... | 12:04 |
| Jaffarkelshac | hey ppl, i am recently shifting to ubuntu as my primary OS do i need any security programs? someone suggested clam av for anti-virus anything else I need guys? | 12:05 |
| Xteven | luddite: also, paste the result of "iptables-save -c" (on PC-A) on some pastebin please | 12:05 |
| luddite | doing so now | 12:05 |
| dESAASEd | help plz someone, cant start awn :/? | 12:06 |
| Jaffarkelshac | how do i find how many channels are available | 12:06 |
| Jaffarkelshac | hey ppl, i am recently shifting to ubuntu as my primary OS do i need any security programs? someone suggested clam av for anti-virus anything else I need guys? | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaffarkelshac: bring up the channel list | 12:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaffarkelshac: not really no | 12:07 |
| DistroJockey | Jaffarkelshac: /list | 12:08 |
| captainm | Jaffarkelshac, clam av is hande if you share a lot of stuff with windows computers | 12:08 |
| Jaffarkelshac | thank you all | 12:08 |

| ActionParsnip | Jaffarkelshac: about 10 | 12:09 |
| Marcos | bom dia | 12:09 |
| milovlaoao | I need a nerdy alternative tho | 12:09 |
| luddite | Xteven where does "iptables-save -c" put the output? | 12:09 |
| Marcos | alguem pode me ajudar com o comando wine? | 12:09 |
| Xteven | luddite: normally to stdout | 12:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Jaffarkelshac: chat / browse / music playing / video watching. nothing massive | 12:09 |
| Xteven | you should see it on oyur screen | 12:09 |

| nomopofomo | What would be a good channel to go to for career guidance? | 12:10 |
| gioele | hello | 12:10 |
| luddite | Xteven - i dont know stout but yes i am at root | 12:10 |
| Lamego | nomopofomo, your question is off topic :P | 12:10 |
| LadyNikon | nomopofomo: no idea. | 12:10 |
| luddite | Xteven - using sudo | 12:10 |
| gioele | is there a way to get a list of packages that I installed and that that have not been installed as dep of other packages? | 12:10 |
| Jaffarkelshac | ActionParsnip I have similar, I want to replicate my windows experience as much as possible so i am looking for ubuntu equivalents. | 12:10 |
| Marcos | i use account new administrator user | 12:10 |
| Marcos | my problem is | 12:10 |
| dESAASEd | when i start avant-window-navigator from terminal i get Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. | 12:11 |
| Jaffarkelshac | anyone tried Battlefield 2 with wine? | 12:11 |
| Xteven | luddite: hmm | 12:11 |
| captainm | Jaffarkelshac, there are a lot of lists with linux alternitives for windows software around. just google. | 12:11 |
| Marcos | i have a application for windows from network | 12:11 |
| jrib | !enter | Marcos | 12:11 |
| ubotu | Marcos: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 12:11 |
| Lamego | dESAASEd, awn only works with compiz | 12:11 |
| Xteven | luddite: try "iptables -nvL", it should dump some stuff on screen, then try "iptables-save -c" again | 12:11 |
| LadyNikon | i love that trigger | 12:11 |
| yogi_ | good afternoon folks | 12:12 |
| dESAASEd | lamego: how do i put compiz on? | 12:12 |
| yogi_ | does anyone know a good application to find duplicate files and dedupe thmen, best would be a GUI or pseudo GUI app | 12:12 |
| yogi_ | ? | 12:12 |
| milovlaoao | another random question, can any one help me think of a 'mens portal' domain name? | 12:13 |
| jrib | yogi_: try 'apt-cache search dupe' | 12:13 |
| yogi_ | :D | 12:13 |
| un0p | milovlaoao, off topic | 12:13 |
| yogi_ | k | 12:13 |
| jrib | !offtopic | milovlaoao | 12:13 |
| ubotu | milovlaoao: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! | 12:13 |
| luddite | Xteven : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61119/ | 12:13 |
| milovlaoao | lol my bad :( | 12:13 |
| Xteven | ok | 12:13 |
| captainm | yogi_, for files I use fdupes. No gui though | 12:13 |
| X-Java | I have a question: will 32-bit version of ubuntu desktop/live cd run on core2duo? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Java: yes | 12:14 |
| lonran | im looking for a multiplatform messenger client different than pidgin. any idea? | 12:14 |
| yogi_ | hmm | 12:14 |
| X-Java | and 64-bit version on 32-bit cpu? | 12:14 |
| jrib | X-Java: no | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | lonran: what protocols do you use? | 12:14 |
| Xteven | luddite: can you also do "iptables-save -c" and paste that output ? | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Java: no | 12:14 |
| Lamego | X-Java, no, you can't run a 64 bits os on a 32bits cpy | 12:14 |
| Lamego | u | 12:14 |
| lonran | ActionParsnip, msn and gtalk/jabber | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | lonran: kopete i think does it | 12:15 |
| luddite | Xteven : i cant find stdout when doing iptables-save -c | 12:15 |
| luddite | i just searched.... | 12:15 |
| yogi_ | I needed the -d option | 12:15 |
| X-Java | is it better to run 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu on dual-core AMD? (i have heard about problems with wine and 64bit) | 12:15 |
| Xteven | luddite: stdout is not a file, its a device. iptables-save -c should dump everything on your screen | 12:16 |
| Lamego | lonran, amsn | 12:16 |
| Xteven | stdout stands for standard out | 12:16 |
| luddite | Xteven - it doesnt. even as sudo | 12:16 |
| captainm | X-Java, If you have less than 4 gig ram and no specific needs for 64 bit i'd just go with 32 | 12:16 |
| lonran | Lamego, amsn doesnt work with gtalk | 12:16 |
| Xteven | hmm odd | 12:16 |
| luddite | although i am in xfce. | 12:16 |
| Marcos | good morning | 12:16 |
| luddite | should i move to gnome | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | lonran: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instant_messaging_clients | 12:16 |
| Lamego | lonran, you said "messenger" client :P | 12:16 |
| luddite | which i hate | 12:16 |
| un0p | Xteven, stdout is a file tho :) it's /dev/stdout | 12:16 |
| luddite | ;-) | 12:16 |
| Xteven | luddite: no, that shouldn't matter | 12:16 |
| Xteven | un0p: /dev/stdout is a character device | 12:17 |
| luddite | un0p: cool | 12:17 |
| un0p | Xteven, which is also a file | 12:17 |
| Xteven | right | 12:17 |
| Lamego | lonran, check for a list of jabber clients | 12:17 |
| luddite | its a non standard device | 12:17 |
| luddite | vi cant read it | 12:17 |
| gioele | lonran: kopete | 12:17 |
| Marcos | who can help me with the use a wine command? | 12:17 |
| luddite | pidgin is the best jabber client | 12:17 |
| X-Java | captainm: right now I have single-core AMD witz 32bit and 512mb RAM but I will get a Dual-core witz 1gb RAM and GeForce 8600GT 1024MB edition at my birthday | 12:18 |
| Lamego | gioele, is there a win version for kopete ? | 12:18 |
| Xteven | time for me to go eat | 12:18 |
| lonran | luddite, thats true, but its not the best msn client | 12:18 |
| gioele | Lamego: no | 12:18 |
| Xteven | cya later | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | Marcos: wassup | 12:18 |
| Lamego | gidim, he asked for a multi platform :) | 12:18 |
| luddite | lonran: amsn is the best msn client | 12:18 |
| Lamego | Marcos, wine program.exe | 12:18 |
| luddite | IMHO | 12:18 |
| lonran | luddite, may be true | 12:18 |
| ActionParsnip | luddite: he wants a single app for all (like pidgin) | 12:18 |
| un0p | don't think there's anything better than pidgin for multi-platform multi-network messaging -- is there even something like it? | 12:19 |
| gioele | luddite: psi is _the_ xmpp/jabber client, pidgin is cute and easy (I use it) but not the jabber swissknife that psi is | 12:19 |
| Marcos | i need to execute a program for windows from my networks. | 12:19 |
| captainm | X-Java, Improvements in performance are marginal at best. I'd just go with the 32bit version. A lot less headaches. | 12:19 |
| lonran | un0p, thats my question | 12:19 |
| gioele | un0p: not multi-platform | 12:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Marcos: then you need to mount the windows partition. Is the program that portable? | 12:19 |
| luddite | i dont think one exists | 12:19 |
| captainm | X-Java, improvements with when using the 64bit version that is | 12:19 |
| gioele | un0p: trillian or miranda for win, but they are not multi-platform | 12:19 |
| topyli | jabber clients can do other protocols with transports, which makes them effectively multi-network | 12:19 |
| spikeb | pidgin is multiplatform. | 12:20 |
| Marcos | i see the windows partition from my network | 12:20 |
| gioele | spikeb: lonran asked for something different from pidgin | 12:20 |
| luddite | Xteven : iptables-save -c > /Temp/dump doesnt write to the file | 12:20 |
| spikeb | oh. | 12:20 |
| un0p | topyli, a jabber server is still needed to do the translating, right? | 12:20 |
| * spikeb smacks himself | 12:20 | |
| Marcos | i see all the programs from there | 12:20 |
| topyli | un0p: yep, transports are server features | 12:20 |
| topyli | not all servers have all transports | 12:20 |
| gioele | topyli: but that is subject to availability of those transport on the jabber server that your jid resides | 12:21 |
| luddite | Xteven : sudo does ;-) | 12:21 |
| Marcos | i try to execute de command | 12:21 |
| X-Java | captainm: I hope ubuntu 8.04 will be nicer because 7.10 is nice but the apps in list are not the latest like wine 0.9.46 but the latest is 0.9.58 and I don't think that 64bit will be better for wine (at this moment) but after that I can backup all files and install 64bit if I need, right? | 12:21 |
| topyli | gioele: true. however, if your primary account is on say jabber.org (no transports), you can login to another server simultaneously just for the transports | 12:21 |
| Marcos | what the command line that i need to execute? | 12:22 |
| luddite | Xteven : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61120/ | 12:22 |
| un0p | Marcos, wine /path/to/file.exe | 12:22 |
| topyli | gioele: gtalk users regularly use another jabber server for "features", since gtalk has almost none | 12:22 |
| Marcos | i do | 12:22 |
| spikeb | X-Java, wine provides their own package of wine for ubuntu - http://winehq.org/site/download-deb | 12:22 |
| un0p | Marcos, but that won't always works, it depends | 12:22 |
| HSorgYves | when i use 'command1 ; command2' in a bash script, are both commands executed simultaneously or one after the other? | 12:22 |
| ActionParsnip | un0p: its on a network so he needs to windows mount first | 12:22 |
| captainm | X-Java, Sure you can. After the official release ubuntu only pushes security updates. 7.10 has all the newer versions. | 12:22 |
| jrib | HSorgYves: one after the other | 12:23 |
| dESAASEd | ok now i have compiz and so on, when i try to start awn from terminal it says jimmy@jimmy-desktop:~$ avant-window-navigator | 12:23 |
| dESAASEd | Error: Screen isn't composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. | 12:23 |
| Marcos | its my first time that use the ubuntu desktop | 12:23 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, to get a one after another effect you need -- command1 & command2 | 12:23 |
| luddite | HSorgYves : - depends - does c1 output on c2? | 12:23 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, sorry, if you want simulatenous effect | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Marcos: if you are trying to run something like MS office over the LAN it wont work | 12:23 |
| luddite | HSorgYves other wise it wont matter | 12:23 |
| HSorgYves | luddite: no but command2 should act on command1 (command2 is cpulimit) | 12:24 |
| X-Java | Marcos: If you have file explorer like emelfm (I know, really old but still good) you can create a new filetype witg ending .exe and add funktion wine and just doulbeclick on file which you want to use | 12:24 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: command1 & command2 or command1 & ; command2? | 12:24 |
| HSorgYves | jrip: thx | 12:24 |
| Marcos | i need to execute the application for windows from my network | 12:24 |
| un0p | HSorgYves, sounds like you need a pipe then, if command2 operates on the output of command1 | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | X-Java: I think its defaulted when wine is installed | 12:25 |
| HSorgYves | un0p: no not the output of command1, it operates on the process of command1 | 12:25 |
| aldin | can someone suggest me some alternative for wordpress? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | Marcos: you need to look at mounting network shares. You'll need to share the folder containing the app first | 12:25 |
| Marcos | i do it | 12:25 |
| luddite | HSorgYves : then 'no' is your answer | 12:26 |
| Marcos | see | 12:26 |

| Darkside | when i test the sound in the sound preferences it locks up | 13:13 |
| jonny_ | hi | 13:13 |
| Kuwanger | MintLover: As for archives that can be supported, just about any. Programs like winzip, winrar, and 7zip support almost all the common archives (zip, rar, tar.gz, and tar.bz2 to name a few). | 13:13 |
| KaiForce | I have several shell scripts on my desktop, that I associated to a text editor. Now they won't execute. Can I get rid of that association somehow? | 13:13 |

| Kuwanger | wamphyri: Oh..hmm..that's a shame. | 13:13 |
| MintLover | o perfect Kuwanger ill use winrar then :) | 13:14 |
| djyono | hii | 13:14 |
| wamphyri | winzip does your general gzip tar zip stuff like that | 13:14 |
| artfullylost_ | There's an app called winrar that will do rars. | 13:14 |
| * Kuwanger prefers 7zip. | 13:14 | |
| MintLover | ok thanx 1000 everyone | 13:14 |

| Moppa | soundray - after an apt-get update i lost contact with the server via ssh, then when i brought it home it started up but didn't show any ethernet devices and was spamming that it didn't have permission to /bin/bash. After that i ran a apt-get upgrade and a apt-get remove (typo on the last one but it executed) and after that i only get the modprobe spamming. | 13:53 |
| dannyboylawless | What do i lose using lilo over grub?? | 13:53 |
| Bastett | dannyboylawless- more likely to end up with an unbootable system | 13:54 |
| soundray | Moppa: you ran 'apt-get remove' without a packagename? | 13:54 |
| Bastett | you can configure grub live during boot (if for example you move a hard disk from master to slave) | 13:54 |
| Moppa | soundray - yes | 13:54 |
| soundray | !lilo | dannyboylawless | 13:54 |
| Bastett | but lilo must be redone with each change | 13:54 |
| ubotu | dannyboylawless: lilo is an alternative [Li]nux Boot[Lo]ader. Note: it is recommended that you use GRUB on Ubuntu instead. | 13:54 |
| soundray | Moppa: what does that do? | 13:54 |
| captainm | dannyboylawless, I don't think lilo will solve this. Error 18 means that a read is attempted at a block address beyond the en of the bios translated area. | 13:54 |
| dannyboylawless | hrm.. | 13:54 |
| test___ | hi I idea use ubuntu but is it support Ms-dos based packet programs? or how to run my old version ms-dos programs on ubuntu | 13:55 |
| captainm | dannyboylawless, in other words your bios is the culprit | 13:55 |
| LjL | test___, there are a couple of emulators in the repositories | 13:55 |
| captainm | test___, dosbox | 13:55 |
| dannyboylawless | i know when i was dealing with server i got it to load up using lilo but i would like to solve this problem... ill try updating bios | 13:55 |

| captainm | dannyboylawless, either that or create a separate /boot partition at the beginning of the disk | 13:56 |
| Moppa | can i find the apt logs anywhere so i can pastebin them to you soundray ? | 13:56 |
| tarzan | xrandr reports modes only up to 1024x786 with my geforce 4 ti... any ideas? | 13:56 |
| dannyboylawless | captainm, what would that accomplish? | 13:56 |
| captainm | dannyboylawless, Your bios will be able to reach the boot partition then. | 13:57 |
| tarzan | i'm using the nvidia driver btw... | 13:57 |
| test___ | ljl --- programs money calculator and basic report and printing and use multi user I do emule config on ubuntu and dosbox? | 13:57 |
| LjL | test___: "dosemu" and "dosbox" (i'd say try the latter, first) are emulators which are specifically intended to emulate old computers, and which already come with a free clone of the IBM/MS DOS. then you have "bochs", which also fully emulates a PC, and other so-called "virtual machines", which use your CPU partyle directly, such as "vmware" (not packaged), "virtualbox-ose" and "qemu" | 13:58 |

| Moppa | soundray - nope | 14:03 |
| soundray | Moppa: that setup has gone wrong in more than one place. Would it be terrible to back up and do a fresh installation? | 14:03 |
| mysticalone | I get error 15 file not found when I use find /boot/grub/stage1 | 14:04 |
| Moppa | soundray - yes, before i get my mysql server backuped i don't want that | 14:04 |
| Moppa | but i know there has been a lot of errors on this system | 14:04 |
| soundray | Moppa: perhaps you can use mysqldump from the chroot? | 14:04 |
| dannyboylawless | I'm going to do a reboot so i can have 2 (i think this is a good amount) partitions, one small one (3% of disk) for grub and the remainder for ubuntu. I plan on using this as a file server, does this partitioning sound good? | 14:05 |
| Moppa | soundray - well, the problem is that my mysql-server has gone missing during the fuckups :/ | 14:06 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | dannyboylawless, u gonna need a swap | 14:07 |
| dannyboylawless | [Hardy], I'm not sure what that is | 14:07 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | dannyboylawless, at least the installer gonna bitch about it if u dont give it one | 14:07 |
| soundray | Moppa: please watch the language... you can backup everything in /var/lib/mysql and reinstate the database in another machine (or this one once you've reinstalled) | 14:08 |
| dannyboylawless | [Hardy], Im not sure what your saying... | 14:08 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | dannyboylawless, u need a separate swap partition | 14:08 |
| soundray | Moppa: there is some trickery involved, but I think I found help for that on the MySQL site once | 14:08 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | dannyboylawless, which install cd are u going to use? | 14:09 |
| soundray | !swap | dannyboylawless | 14:09 |
| dannyboylawless | [Hardy], newest ubuntu desktop | 14:09 |
| ubotu | dannyboylawless: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 14:09 |
| Moppa | soundray - i was talking about my own achievementts, my bad. I talked about it in mysql-channel on qnet earlier and they recomended to fix the system first, but i guess that's not an option anymore :p | 14:09 |
| [Hardy]TuTUXG | dannyboylawless, ya, read what bot said | 14:09 |
| dannyboylawless | alright, thanks | 14:10 |
| soundray | Moppa: you could of course do a heroic thing and run 'apt-get --reinstall install' on all packages in the cache... | 14:10 |
| Moppa | soundray - there is one thing left to try. When i run the startingscript for my mysql-server it says that some files doesn't have permission to /dev/null | 14:11 |
| mysticalone | Can my /boot be on a slave drive and I can install grub on it? | 14:12 |
| fortytwo | do i get this right, nvidia closed source drivers in hardy do not support xrandr 1.2? | 14:12 |
| soundray | dannyboylawless: I recommend keeping grub in the system partition, but having a separate system partition from the data partition is a good idea. My recommendation thus: 5GB system partition, 2GB or so swap, rest /home | 14:12 |
| soundray | Moppa: bad, bad news | 14:12 |
| FloodBot2 | NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now. | 14:13 |
| Moppa | soundray - what? | 14:13 |
| soundray | Moppa: /dev/null should always be readable and writable to everyone/everything in the system. I can't see why it wouldn't be. So if something has changed permissions on that device, something has gone seriously out of hand. | 14:14 |
| captainm | mysticalone, I think so | 14:14 |

| peter__ | well will it? | 14:19 |
| Moppa | yeah. i will do that | 14:19 |
| soundray | Fenix|work: why don't you make a list first, then check that list, then run the rm command on the list? | 14:19 |

| Aquahallic | folks.. is there a way to fix grub and initramfs if you can't boot into any kernel? | 14:20 |
| dannyboylawless | to circumvent my error 18 I should just reinstall ubuntu on a small partition at the beggining of the disk? | 14:20 |
| jrib | vulcar_: why not just use winehq repositories? | 14:21 |
| soundray | Fenix|work: remember that cp updates the mtimestamp, unless you tell it not to | 14:21 |
| Blackthorn | When I start my system one of the first items that shows is "acpi: unable to load ... tables" is this something that I should be concerned about? | 14:21 |

| vulcar_ | jrib, you mean add the key and the wget statement? | 14:21 |

| soundray | Blackthorn: good, then you won't have to deal with ACPI implementation quirks in your hardware | 14:29 |
| helpfromu | ok | 14:29 |

| jake2point0 | is there a key combo that i can hit to get out of that game so i can close it down. windows xp has what they call a Task Manager that you can do a ctrl alt delete and end task on the hanging program. | 16:14 |
| busan | where forum about internet for ubuntu? | 16:14 |
| rblst | Zampaktu: probably not, i don't use vindoze for a couple years now; thanks anyway | 16:15 |
| bod_ | Zampaktu, it depends on the level of privilage u have in windows, if ur a *power user* then yes, admin yes, user cant install anything | 16:15 |
| Blackthorn | I have droped a script into /etc/event.d called asterisk. I know upstart is installed on the system. But when rebooting that script does not seem to be called. | 16:15 |
| noodlesgc | jake2point0 alt+f2 then type xkill and click the game window | 16:15 |
| bod_ | peter77, you want to change the permissions for all files in a folder? | 16:16 |
| peter77 | all files and folders in a folder | 16:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | peter77: what folder? | 16:16 |
| user_ubuntu | Please give me the website to change my desktop look again please | 16:16 |
| IndyGunFreak | user_ubuntu: http://www.gnome-look.org ? | 16:17 |
| bod_ | peter77, sudo chmod -r 777 (or whatever) /parent/* | 16:17 |
| peter77 | IndyGunFreak, a folder I have copied from another users home | 16:17 |
| bod_ | user_ubuntu, gnome-look? | 16:17 |
| pat5star | chmod -R <--- note capital R | 16:17 |
| sayap_ikarus | HAI........................................................................................ | 16:17 |
| vallhalla81 | bod_: no luck | 16:17 |
| user_ubuntu | no | 16:17 |
| bod_ | pat5star, thanks for that | 16:17 |
| user_ubuntu | it was another site | 16:17 |
| sayap_ikarus | TAI............................................................... | 16:17 |
| bod_ | vallhalla81, what happened? | 16:17 |
| pat5star | bod_: np | 16:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | peter77: ok, easy way to do it... open a terminal, gksudo nautilus, nautilus will open with root privliges, then navigate to the folder you want to change, right click, properties, and change its permissions. | 16:18 |
| heymr | sayap_ikarus: wut...? | 16:18 |
| bazhang | abcnight: no PM's please; I asked politely once already | 16:18 |
| heymr | oo burn | 16:18 |
| user_ubuntu | its about chaining the complete look | 16:18 |
| dnyy | hahaha | 16:18 |
| vallhalla81 | i cant find the right comand it just comes up with does not exist | 16:18 |
| peter77 | IndyGunFreak, already tried that, when I click the "apply to all files" nothing happens to files that already exist | 16:18 |
| bod_ | hey bazhang ;~) | 16:18 |
| vallhalla81 | bod_: i cant find the right comand it just comes up with does not exist | 16:18 |
| bazhang | user_ubuntu: did you read that link? they specify not to add firefox to it but to the main ubuntu panel | 16:18 |
| bod_ | vallhalla81, ok, well ask the channel how to manually mount a drive | 16:19 |
| bazhang | bod_: hi! | 16:19 |
| My_nics_ghosted | IndyGunFreak, peter77 that will change the permissions of the top folder but not necessarily the folder beneith it. | 16:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | My_nics_ghosted: hm, i think i've had a different experience with that, checking now. | 16:19 |
| vallhalla81 | bod_: ok ty | 16:19 |
| bod_ | peter77, chmod -R will work | 16:19 |
| vallhalla81 | can any one tell me how to manually mount a drive please? | 16:19 |
| peter77 | so chmod -R /home/user | 16:19 |
| user_ubuntu | bazhang: i had to restart, can you give me the link again | 16:19 |
| IndyGunFreak | peter77: it should, but i thought you said you tried that | 16:20 |
| My_nics_ghosted | IndyGunFreak, peter77 .. what bod_ said is easier and more complete | 16:20 |
| bod_ | peter77, not quite sudo chmod -R 777 /home/user/this_folder/* | 16:20 |
| IndyGunFreak | My_nics_ghosted: indeed, but i don't know about easier. | 16:20 |
| bazhang | http://maketecheasier.com/how-to-redesign-your-desktop-the-wow-way/2008/01/10 user_ubuntu | 16:20 |
| === lmr[lunch] is now known as lmr | ||
| bod_ | My_nics_ghosted, i wonder why people ask for gui ways sometimes when a cli way is ten times easier and faster ;~) | 16:21 |
| numus | ANyone know how to install propritary ati drivers instead of the fglrx driver | 16:21 |
| erUSUL | numus: propritary ati drivers is the same as the fglrx driver | 16:22 |
| user_ubuntu | bazhang: thx | 16:22 |
| numus | erUSUL catalyst 8.03 is what i need.. i am on hardy and i have a screen refresh flicker in applications such as google earth with fglrx | 16:23 |
| user_ubuntu | bazhang: what's ciro dock? | 16:23 |
| erUSUL | |hardy | numus | 16:23 |
| peter77 | bod_ im confused how to get chmod-R 777 to allow a certain user read/write access to all files/folders contained in a directory? | 16:23 |
| erUSUL | !hardy | numus | 16:23 |
| ubotu | numus: 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 | 16:23 |
| numus | erUSUL it did the same thing in 7.10 and using catalyst 8.03 helped.. i lost my guide to install it | 16:24 |
| bod_ | peter77, read the man page man chmod | 16:24 |
| erUSUL | numus: if you want a more recent version than the one provided you have to manually install it yourself | 16:24 |
| bazhang | https://developer.berlios.de/projects/cairo-dock/ from the link on that page user_ubuntu | 16:24 |
| pat5star | peter77: that allows anyone read write access, if you want just one user to be able to, you will have to consider making him a part of the group that owns those files | 16:24 |
| ethan961 | I dodn'y know cairo-dock was still kicking around | 16:25 |
| ethan961 | *didn't | 16:25 |
| ola1 | hello, Im completely new to linux and Ubuntu | 16:25 |

| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 busan | 16:26 |
| pat5star | !ask | 16:26 |
| dgjones | !hardy > busan | 16:26 |
| ubotu | Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 16:26 |
| ola1 | Ive just started using ubuntu, but sometimes gnome disappears | 16:26 |
| ola1 | and a black screen emerges, telling me my battery life | 16:26 |
| busan | Any master on this room? | 16:27 |
| soundray | !enter | ola1 | 16:27 |

| ola1 | sorry | 16:27 |
| JonaTh | ola1: U using gutsy? | 16:27 |

| ubotu | JonaTh: Unless you're Dutch or Flemish, or a government officier, the letter 'U' is not a pronoun. If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you". The same goes for "are", "why", "because", "anyone", and so on.. | 16:27 |
| JonaTh | soundray: Whatever ;) | 16:28 |
| soundray | ola1: ask in #ubuntu+1 please | 16:28 |

| pat5star | soundray: you're kidding right? there is grammar police on these irc channels? :) | 16:28 |
| busan | ok thanks | 16:28 |
| pat5star | oops, better correct myself, I mean: there are! | 16:29 |
| soundray | pat5star: no, there isn't. There is only advice for those who want to be taken seriously, like the bot says. | 16:29 |
| atcla_ubuntu | im trying to config "conky" i go vi home/user/.conkryc | how do i erease all the text | 16:29 |

| JonaTh | atcla_ubuntu: Tried sudo? | 16:29 |

| atcla_ubuntu | JonaTh, now im in vi editor; how do i exit ? | 16:31 |
| beex | atcla_ubuntu, you shouldn't need to be root to edit the file | 16:31 |
| pat5star | soundray: lol...not trying to start anything, was just curious. I would think that with so many people where english isn't their first language, this would not be an issue here so long as they get their point across | 16:31 |
| beex | atcla_ubuntu, :q | 16:31 |

| beex | atcla_ubuntu, http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html might help | 16:32 |

| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu heres what to do, find firefox in your main menu, right click it and press "add this to desktop" | 16:44 |
| DRebellion | peter77, chown -R user:user directory/ && chmod -R o+r,o+w,o+x d directory/ | 16:45 |

| rblst | tico: try this: metacity --replace | 16:47 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: any other idea | 16:47 |
| peter77 | DRebellion: thanks that worked great :-) | 16:48 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu no. I dont know why its not working | 16:48 |
| bazhang | salmanh_: there is nice channel for that #ubuntu-mythtv | 16:48 |

| co0lingFir3 | hi! i'm not able to add adblock plus-filters via right-click on an image. someone there to help me? | 16:49 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: k | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | co0lingFir3, perhaps #firefox would be a more relevant channel... | 16:50 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu is there a question mark icon? | 16:50 |
| bazhang | co0lingFir3: firefox2 or 3? | 16:50 |
| Xman | can anyone tell me what does the statement "struct stat buf;" mean???? | 16:50 |
| user_ubuntu | yes | 16:50 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: yes | 16:50 |
| DRebellion | co0lingFir3, best results on irc.mozilla.org | 16:51 |
| tico | rblst ok i'll try that | 16:51 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu ok right click it and press "edit starter..." | 16:51 |
| user_ubuntu | k | 16:51 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: k | 16:51 |
| DRebellion | Xman, its a struct of type stat called buf | 16:51 |
| co0lingFir3 | DRebellion, thx | 16:51 |
| Xman | !pastebin | 16:51 |
| 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) | 16:51 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu in the name type "Firefox Web Browser" | 16:51 |
| co0lingFir3 | bazhang: ff3.04b | 16:51 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: i did | 16:51 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu now in the command type 'firefox' | 16:52 |
| bazhang | many plugins dont work in the hardy version now co0lingFir3 | 16:52 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: ok | 16:52 |
| MrBojangles | Hey everyone. I just installed Ubuntu 8.4 BETA.. it's suppose to have virtulization built into it. | 16:52 |
| MrBojangles | How do I get started? | 16:52 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 please MrBojangles | 16:52 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu ok now there should be a big button on the left | 16:52 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: it works, but there isn't the firefox icon | 16:53 |
| bazhang | heh | 16:53 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu yes in the edit menu you have to set one | 16:53 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: how can i add other applications | 16:53 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: the icon is set, but it isn't show | 16:54 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu are you sure you set it to the right icon? | 16:54 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: yes | 16:55 |
| Xman | DRebellion: what does this statement doing "if(stat(argv[i],&buf)<0)"?? | 16:55 |
| numus | i am getting an error dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512 | 16:55 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: there are only questionmarks | 16:55 |
| mrpockets | hey guys | 16:56 |
| DRebellion | Xman, looks like stat is a function... argv[i] is a reference to a command line argument, &buf is the address of the variable buf | 16:56 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: how can I add other applications | 16:56 |
| mrpockets | i'm looking for a program similar to Nero, that'll let me make menues and shit for a DVD and add .avi files to burn | 16:56 |
| DRebellion | Xman, argv[i] and buf are arguments to the function stat, which will likely return an int | 16:57 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu try dragging and dropping, if that does not work, youll have to create them the same way you created the firefox launcher | 16:57 |
| DRebellion | Xman, if the int is less than 0, the commands inside the if {} will be exectued | 16:57 |
| Noname | ok i was not in the right dir now i am and when i do the command it does nothing no error | 16:57 |
| Lamego | mrpockets, try mandvd | 16:58 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: but i don't know the command to create the other applications | 16:58 |
| mrpockets | thanks homes | 16:58 |
| DRebellion | Noname, when you chmod it? that's normal. silence is good xD | 16:58 |

| hwilde | Xman, so umm what is your question | 17:03 |
| hwilde | AaronShaf, sftp config file | 17:03 |
| dannyboylawless | i have a favor to ask of someone. I am trying to run the latest version of ubuntu but i get a grub error 18 (http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB). There are two ways around this. Update bios (sony tells me this 8 year old machine has no new bios, but i can't prove them wrong) or partition the install in such a way that the kernal is on a small partition... I don't know how to do this. | 17:03 |
| naitmer | hi there | 17:03 |
| Xman | DRebellion: no its my brother's program? | 17:03 |
| naitmer | i had a problem with my friend's ubuntu | 17:04 |
| bazhang | co0lingFir3: not sure about that; though it is an #ubuntu+1 issue ;] | 17:04 |

| AaronShaf | hwidle, thanks, but where is the sftp config file? | 17:04 |
| Xman | DRebellion: errors!!! | 17:04 |
| user_ubuntu | noodlesgc: only questionmarks | 17:04 |
| hwilde | AaronShaf, which ftp server are you running? | 17:04 |
| AaronShaf | hwilde, sftp doesn't use an ftp server, it uses ssh | 17:05 |
| jimcooncat | dannyboylawless: are you willing to do a fresh install? | 17:05 |
| dannyboylawless | definatly | 17:05 |
| ethan961 | dannyboylawlwss, you can use gparted live cd to create a boot partition if you dont want to reinstall | 17:05 |
| hwilde | AaronShaf, then it will log into the user's home directory | 17:05 |
| Noname | don't u just love id software for their linux native games | 17:05 |
| deamoon | can any1 tell me y im geting this mesedge "no volume control GStreamer plugins and/or device not found" but i got sound and im listening to mp3 | 17:05 |
| Noname | ;) | 17:05 |
| abcnight | :) | 17:06 |
| Lamego | AaronShaf, sftp users home directory is the users home directory | 17:06 |
| dannyboylawless | ethan961, i don't mind doing a fresh install I just get confused on how to partition it correctly so my bios will like me | 17:06 |
| jimcooncat | dannyboylawless: use the partitioner during the intstall to give yourself a small /boot partition. 256 MB is more than enough. | 17:06 |
| ethan961 | dannyboylawless: | 17:06 |
| ethan961 | whoops | 17:06 |

| DRebellion | Xman, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61137/ | 17:07 |

| Tenebrys | Hey, I'm having some issues with my laptop computer... it's pretty dumb and I brought it upon myself but, wanted to see if I can get any advice on digging myself out. | 17:08 |
| bidossessi | hi folks | 17:08 |
| user_ubuntu | hi | 17:08 |
| DRebellion | Tenebrys, fire away | 17:08 |
| noodlesgc | user_ubuntu 0.35.3 | 17:09 |
| Tenebrys | Goes like this. Laptop's got 2 hard-drives, I partitioned one out and stuck Ubuntu on it. | 17:09 |
| bidossessi | is there a linux equivalent of britannica/encarta? a friends needs an offline encylopedia | 17:09 |
| tbrx | network-admin will no longer find wireless :S Just stopped working :S | 17:09 |
| Tenebrys | Due mainly to hardware incompatibility, I stopped using Ubuntu, switched back to just using the Vista install on the first hard-drive. | 17:09 |
| dannyboylawless | Just download wikipedia | 17:09 |
| tbrx | All I did was stop gdm, and start it little later | 17:09 |
| mynyml | bidossessi: you can download wikipedia. really, its not that big. | 17:10 |
| Tenebrys | Now then, here's the dumb part. Rather than do a proper uninstall, I just reformatted the Ubuntu HD, with the predictable result of grub (wherever it's installed) locking me out. | 17:10 |
| DRebellion | bidossessi, you could download wikipedia | 17:10 |
| bidossessi | download wikipedia| that would be nice, but i can't find a french version of it, and the firend is french | 17:10 |

| dark1 | ...naaaah.... | 17:13 |
| dark1 | lol | 17:13 |
| sp | Tenebrys: what you need to do in order to get rid of grub is restoring the original MBR | 17:13 |

| lusepuster | Hi folks. It seems I have shomehov turned my system notifications off. Is there a way to turn it back on by default? | 17:13 |
| sp | Tenebrys: you should be able to do that with the other OS installed somehow | 17:13 |
| DRebellion | Xman, the buf is the place where the stat function puts the info about the file. then, later in the code, printf is used to print the members of the buf struct | 17:14 |
| Tenebrys | hmm. Problem is, I can't even get into the other OS. | 17:14 |

| robotic | sp: I don't want the windows machine to be compromised and have access to my host machine | 17:16 |
| Yuchant | what determines the color of files in bash? What piece of the file holds info like that? | 17:16 |
| soundray | Tenebrys: the Ubuntu CD will only help if you put Ubuntu back on the machine. For what you want to do, you will need a Windows boot CD | 17:16 |
| soundray | dannyboylawless: no | 17:17 |
| Tenebrys | Ahhh, alright. | 17:17 |
| DRebellion | Yuchant, colour? you mean from ls? its set in a variable in your ~/.bashrc | 17:17 |
| sp | robotic: escaping a virtual machine should not be possible, however, a bug in the virtualization software of your choice could offer an attacker such an opportunity (in theory at least) | 17:17 |
| Tenebrys | Asking again... what about a grub configure CD? I remember using one of those in the past... would it directly manipulate the MBR? | 17:17 |
| Yuchant | DRebellion, i mean the file itself though. I have a particular html file and a particular .py file that is always set in a different color from the rest | 17:17 |

| soundray | digital00: as a hack, you can make the file read-only (sudo chmod 444 /etc/resolv.conf) | 17:34 |
| madsporkmurderer | my data is currently in the format "reading","reading" <newline> repeated, when I merge all the files I get two columns with all the sets of readings one after another; is there a way to turn it into "reading","reading","reading" etc <newline>? | 17:35 |
| soundray | digital00: but really, you should fix the DHCP server that gives you the wrong setting in the first place | 17:35 |
| coubra | i have laptop HP pavilion dv 6000 with nvidia 7200 and when install nvidia-glx or nvidia -glx-new or old will freze | 17:35 |

| ubotu | Piero_Scaruffi: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 17:37 |
| praveenr | ok | 17:37 |
| soundray | Piero_Scaruffi: what's broken? | 17:37 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | nothing yet except for dpkg | 17:37 |

| soundray | digital00: it depends on your setup | 17:38 |
| ricanelite | because the consoles are in the other room | 17:38 |
| DRebellion | ricanelite, as in with cables | 17:38 |

| coubra | anhy one have laptop HP pavilion dv6000 with nvidia 7200 ?? | 17:40 |
| DRebellion | Piero_Scaruffi, there is no substitue for a teacher | 17:40 |
| coubra | any one have laptop HP pavilion dv6000 with nvidia 7200 ?? | 17:40 |
| Marfi | coubra, i have an older hp. dv1000 | 17:40 |
| CharminTheMoose | Piero_Scaruffi, either that or just search the internet.. | 17:40 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | DRebellion: i know i just want to learn a little not professional | 17:40 |
| coubra | marfi | 17:40 |
| madsporkmurderer | DRebellion, no- I have a series of data readings that are in CSV format sorted in 2 columns (separated by commas) and several hundred rows (separated by new lines) and when I merge all the files I want to end up with lots of columns whereas currently they have all been put together end to end resulting in two colums and thousands of rows | 17:40 |
| Marfi | coubra, yessm? | 17:40 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | why doesnt ubuntu have a searchengine? | 17:40 |
| Hyratel | I'm running on a Dell Dim. 4100 P3 w/ 512Mb RAM | 17:40 |
| digital00 | soundray: i dont understand which setup you are talking about.. | 17:40 |
| CharminTheMoose | Piero_Scaruffi, try using google? | 17:40 |
| stefano | i have a monitor hooked up to a notebook and i can't see any video from my webcam on it. can anyone help? | 17:40 |
| coubra | marfi ur laptop with nvidia 7200 ? | 17:40 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | google is evil :/ | 17:40 |
| soundray | digital00: your network | 17:41 |
| Marfi | Piero_Scaruffi, cause ubuntu is an operating system, not a website | 17:41 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | google+yahoo i boycot they violated human rights | 17:41 |
| CharminTheMoose | Piero_Scaruffi, when? how? | 17:41 |
| Marfi | coubra, nope, but you should just be able to enable it in the restricted drivers manager. linux plays very nicely with nvidia | 17:41 |
| DRebellion | madsporkmurderer, i don't follow, but sed is the tool you want | 17:41 |
| jpatrick | !ot > Piero_Scaruffi | 17:41 |
| DRebellion | Piero_Scaruffi, locate command, also see find | 17:41 |
| r3n0c | anybody know how to fix the problems with www.pandora.com? | 17:41 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | um when they revealed the identities of people searching for stuff forbidden in china | 17:41 |
| wakka-wakka | is there an easy way to take 10 gigs off of a windows partition? | 17:41 |
| Hyratel | pfeh. not FAT32 | 17:42 |
| staticworth | yeah wakka | 17:42 |
| staticworth | get rid of it XD | 17:42 |
| Marfi | hey everyone, im trying to get an external HDD to mount where i can write to it. im probably doing something wrong. ive checked permissions on the drive, it says its root. how do i change the permissions? heres the fstab /dev/sdc1 /media/BigDrive ext3 rw,auto,users,errors=remount-ro 0 0 | 17:42 |
| Hyratel | NTFS parted can resize | 17:42 |
| soundray | Marfi: the best thing to do is to make a directory for your user to write to: 'sudo mkdir /media/BigDrive/$USER ; sudo chown $USER:$USER /media/BigDrive/$USER' | 17:42 |
| DRebellion | r3n0c, what's the problem with it? | 17:42 |
| wakka-wakka | static: haha but i have a bunch of stuff in there i need.. plus it's good to have windows | 17:42 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | jpatrick: | 17:42 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | what you pm me for>? | 17:42 |
| r3n0c | every time i try to go to the site, it will randomly crash | 17:42 |
| jpatrick | Piero_Scaruffi: read ubotu's factoid | 17:43 |
| r3n0c | i updated to flash 9, worked fine before that | 17:43 |
| Hyratel | wakka-wakka, I'm gonna load server '03 on a part on this comp | 17:43 |
| staticworth | yeah i know, i have all my files but i cant boot to it =\ i get error 13 but there is nothing wrong in my grub =\ | 17:43 |
| Slart | praveenr, DRebellion : I think netstat -l --numeric-ports is better.. or you can't search for port 21.. because it shows up as port ftp | 17:43 |
| Slart | Piero_Scaruffi: if creating language stuff was easy or cheap, would the open office spell checking be in the state it is? =) | 17:43 |
| Slart | Piero_Scaruffi: there are plenty of search apps for ubuntu.. | 17:43 |
| Slart | Piero_Scaruffi: beagle is one.. trackerd is another.. but they only search local files.. not internet sites | 17:43 |
| Slart | wakka-wakka: the installer claims to be able to shrink ntfs partitions.. perhaps gnome partition editor can do the same | 17:43 |
| digital00 | soundray: thats my /etc/network/interfaces: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61141/ | 17:43 |
| Slart | wakka-wakka: but backup your data first | 17:43 |
| FloodBot1 | Slart: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 17:43 |
| CharminTheMoose | r3n0c, are you able to downgrade? | 17:43 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | lets start a BOINC seachengine | 17:43 |
| r3n0c | i suppose that i could, but that isn't really a workaround.... then newgrounds wouldn't work | 17:43 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | search* | 17:43 |
| Slart | FloodBot1: huh? have someone dropped you on your head today?? | 17:43 |
| wakka-wakka | slart: thank you, how would i get to the gnome partition editor? | 17:43 |
| captainm | wakka-wakka, and defrag the windows partition a couple of times | 17:43 |
| DRebellion | Slart, praveenr, why would you want to show only listening sockets (-l)??? | 17:44 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | wakka-wakka: are you a bird? | 17:44 |
| * Piero_Scaruffi goes to ubuntu-offtopic now | 17:44 | |
| wakka-wakka | i was thinking of defragging it a bunch so it settles everything down | 17:44 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | thanks for your help | 17:44 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | :) | 17:44 |
| wakka-wakka | piero: nah, i'm what animal says | 17:44 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | lol | 17:44 |
| Hyratel | wakka-wakka, boot from install CD, its under 'system' if Xubuntu desktop | 17:44 |
| Slart | DRebellion: hmm.. to find the process that is using a certain port... just old habit I guess | 17:44 |
| praveenr | Slart, i am running a java network prog and getting some errors ..... every time i re run the program it says port n already in use | 17:45 |
| soundray | digital00: I mean your physical network. You seem to have a WLAN, so there must be a router, and that's probably running the DHCP server. BTW, if you want the address and gateway lines to have an effect, you have to replace 'dhcp' with 'static' | 17:45 |
| wakka-wakka | hyratel thank you | 17:45 |
| keit1 | hi I'm a little confused with my latest install as I want to do something different this time. basically have xp on sda1. ubuntu on sda2 and then leave sda3 free to install something entirely different on. at present I have sda1 as ntfs with xp already on it and sda2 as ext3 (200GB). there doesn't appear to be an option to select a guided install/partition of an already existing partition. any help? I'm guessing manual is the | 17:45 |

| Hyratel | wakka-wakka, I'm having to fight a 200GB HDD i think is going bad... so I installed parted to my main drive | 17:45 |
| geokok | hi. Anyone can help me with greek writing and wine?? | 17:46 |
| Hyratel | keit1, sounds like what I'm tryingto do | 17:46 |
| digital00 | soundray: yes..the address and the gateway are there because i something connect to another network..when i go to work..but never mind..so i have to change something in my router settings..? | 17:46 |
| soundray | keit1: just delete /dev/sda2 and let Ubuntu use the free space | 17:46 |
| wakka-wakka | hyratel: i'm sorry to hear, what steps are you taking | 17:46 |
| nickrud | geokok sounds like a fine culture there | 17:46 |
| keit1 | perhaps I could have only sda1 with xp on then choose guided - largest continuous free space. then afterward resize the partition... is this possible (i know you can safely resize ntfs partitions with gparted) | 17:46 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | may i ask about Rhythmbox here ? | 17:46 |
| wakka-wakka | no!\ | 17:47 |
| coubra | brb | 17:47 |
| wakka-wakka | haha | 17:47 |

| ubotu | Piero_Scaruffi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 17:48 |
| Hyratel | wakka-wakka, no kidding | 17:48 |
| soundray | keit1: Ubuntu will create a swap partition for you. | 17:48 |
| Slart | Piero_Scaruffi: take a deep breath.. and ask your question on one line.. with all the info in that line.. that will increase the probability of an answer | 17:48 |
| dannyboylawless | if i specify the partition at the begining of the disk /boot and then everything else (less swap) to / will this install to avoid the error 18? | 17:48 |
| Hyratel | soundray, I has a 3GB swap on this drive | 17:48 |
| geokok | nickrud i see your point ;) | 17:48 |
| soundray | Marfi: I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with this paste | 17:48 |
| keit1 | soundray: i mean i want eventually to have a sda3 with perhaps freebsd on and when I resize sda2 will it be OK? | 17:48 |
| wakka-wakka | hyratel: i'm honestly thinking of getting a bigger hard drive.. putting all my data on that, ad running the os's off the small one.. something like you are doin? | 17:49 |

| Piero_Scaruffi | Seveas hallo i see you are available to support me so sorry about the enters i am a little bit anxious and i want to know if i can get presets for Rhythmbox please mr Seveas my nederlandse friend? | 17:49 |
| keit1 | soundray: maybe even a hackintosh... basically a partition for playing around with | 17:49 |
| soundray | Marfi: you didn't create a directory inside it, like I suggested | 17:49 |
| Hyratel | wakka-wakka, I'm trying to see if I can rescue my 200G... it keeps hitting a short read on a bad block at about position 130GB on the linear showing of the drive | 17:49 |

| Seveas | Piero_Scaruffi, just visit the sites of radio stations you want to listen to :) | 17:50 |
| wakka-wakka | hyratel: christ, would saving the important stuff and wiping it out clear it up think | 17:50 |
| wakka-wakka | you think* | 17:51 |
| keit1 | right gonna go pimp my ride | 17:51 |
| Seveas | madsporkmurderer, there's a command for that | 17:51 |
| Hyratel | wakka-wakka, I've already copied out my home folder, that has all my data etc on it | 17:51 |
| Piero_Scaruffi | Seveas: so can i make a file with multiple radiostations and import it into Rhythmbox? | 17:51 |
| madsporkmurderer | sevaes, any idea what that is? | 17:51 |
| Seveas | Piero_Scaruffi, a simple playlist file would work iirc | 17:51 |

| dt84 | hi. I'm trying to install "New Style Last.fm Scrobbler" plugin for Rhythmbox 0.11.2 (instructions here: http://blog.blackdown.de/2007/05/19/lastfm-for-rhythmbox-new-style/). After _sudo aptitude update_, I get a message that some packages will be removed, like: cvs emacs22-common emacsen-common gettext kdelibs-data. Is it ok? | 17:52 |
| praveenr | Slart, for the port problem?? | 17:52 |
| geokok | Is there a way to display greek in wine? | 17:52 |
| CharminTheMoose | dt84, the question is: do you want them removed? | 17:52 |
| DRebellion | geokok, perhaps you need a windows font? | 17:52 |
| Kl4u51 | are there some c++ freaks here? | 17:53 |
| jpatrick | Kl4u51: ##c++ | 17:53 |
| CharminTheMoose | either that dt84 or there's some sort of dist-upgrade business going on.. | 17:53 |
| geokok | DRebellion care to guide me through? | 17:53 |
| dt84 | CharminTheMoose: I'm new to linux, so I have no idea if I need these | 17:53 |
| Slart | praveenr: didn't the oneliner from DRebellion work? | 17:53 |
| DRebellion | Offtopic.... but, why do some of the channels have two hashes (##) prefixing them instead of one? | 17:53 |
| CharminTheMoose | i greatly doubt there'd be a package that removes such a vital thing as kdelibs.. | 17:53 |
| CharminTheMoose | dt84, to put it simply, there might be something broken with whatever you're trying to install | 17:54 |
| Slart | DRebellion: one # is official channels.. associated with some kind of project.. two hashes are other random channels | 17:54 |
| Seveas | DRebellion, madsporkmurderer I was thinking of the join command but it seems to have a limitation :) | 17:54 |

| Seveas | madsporkmurderer, a limitation as in it needs a common column | 17:55 |

| eric_ | Hi all , anyone running some windows game with wine ? | 17:55 |

| lusepuster | soundray, notification-daemon/libnotify, I think it is | 17:55 |

| Slart | eric_: even if you click in the wow-window and press 'w' a few times? | 17:57 |
| DRebellion | praveenr, you have to replace portnum with a number, eg. netstat | grep ":6462" | 17:57 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sound stormx2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:42 |
| Stormx2 | I've come across this before. Basically some process is locking my sound card so that no other processes can use it. | 18:42 |
| Stormx2 | algyz, you need a pipe. | 18:42 |
| Stormx2 | And I've already looked through those docs. | 18:42 |

| Stormx2 | Yeah | 18:46 |
| Stormx2 | I'm not sure where. Hm. | 18:46 |
| SpudDogg | docmur: for it to run that slow, it's probably an issue with either your connection, or you have selected the wrong mirrors? | 18:46 |
| docmur | I haven't changed mirrors there default | 18:46 |

| rahmen | SpudDogg: if you think of anything it could be plz msg me.. and thnx for the help so far :] | 19:00 |
| TheArthur | genius_, its not trivial, unpack the initrd, mount it loopback, add the cryptsetup executable and everything that ldd `which cryptsetup` references | 19:01 |
| zcat[1] | sigger: no (and there isn't) | 19:01 |
| TheArthur | genius_, sorry | 19:01 |

| Jaffarkelshac | i check it out | 19:02 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jaffarkelshac: k3b is good, but you have to install all the KDE libs if you're using Gnome. | 19:02 |
| Jaapz | K3B is better then gnomebaker, brasero rules too | 19:02 |
| Terrasque | Jaffarkelshac: and nero is not a funny name? ;) | 19:02 |

| TheArthur | genius_, first get it so you can do it manually | 19:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: pay attention, its not Grub, its swap. | 19:04 |
| genius_ | TheArthur: i can do it manually | 19:04 |
| BillyJoe | THank you | 19:04 |
| KalEl | where can i see the apt installation log for some package? | 19:04 |
| zcat[1] | BillyJoe: might be a bit trickier in your case, but I'd treat it as if windows had overrittenn grub | 19:04 |
| amiyo | start ubuntu frm the disk, goto console type grub-install /dev/hdx | 19:04 |
| zcat[1] | "During set up it installed the grub to the USB" | 19:04 |
| genius_ | TheArthur: i can call swapon - and it works. Looks like dm_crypt does not loaded when the swap is turning on | 19:05 |
| Jaffarkelshac | goob, if you use sudo aptitude there is a section for installed packages | 19:05 |
| Jaapz | billyjoe: try what amiyo just said, that would do it | 19:05 |

| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: i thought he said swap, my bad | 19:05 |
| Jaapz | indygun: lol :P | 19:05 |
| IndyGunFreak | Jaapz: very tired, i thought he said he put his swap partition on the usb drive.. was trying to figure out how the hell he did that..lol | 19:06 |
| Jaapz | loll | 19:06 |
| TheArthur | genius_, is swapon being run before or after cryptsetup | 19:06 |
| Jaapz | rofl | 19:06 |
| genius_ | TheArthur: if i will modifu boot scripts - is it the right way? why do i need crypttab then? | 19:06 |
| KalEl | KalEl, the apt logs are stored in /var/log/apt/ | 19:06 |
| TheArthur | ohh and are you using LUKS? | 19:06 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: he might have meant swap.. I could well imagine that getting written to a USB | 19:06 |
| Jaapz | dont think so | 19:06 |
| amiyo | not the swap, only grub | 19:06 |
| TheArthur | genius_, that i dont know | 19:06 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: you'd have to really blatantly be stupoid to do that.. i could see grub happening on accident | 19:06 |
| Jaffarkelshac | has anyone got the debian menu-xdg to work | 19:06 |
| Jaapz | indygun: yeah | 19:06 |
| genius_ | TheArthur: oh that's good idea for debug | 19:07 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: so all or /boot should still be in the main install, just boot up however and grub-install /dev/hda I guess | 19:07 |
| IndyGunFreak | zcat[1]: thats what it souds like.. | 19:08 |

| jake2point0 | ya i need to somehow uninstall firefox cause the swf thing came up to install either adobe flash or the gflash. i picked the gflash one and now stuff wont work in flash | 19:16 |
| Waffles385 | DRebellion, Yeah, I was having a problem with a site and was hoping the newer would work... it didn't though so I was gonna go back to nonfree. | 19:16 |
| cccharles | Kadotus: ?dm will do gdm/kdm/xdm, depending on what's there. ? is a single-character metacharacter. | 19:16 |

| DRebellion | bluebanana, you don#t | 19:17 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: adobe keeps 'updating' the file on their website; every time they do that the MD5sum doesn't math any more so the ubuntu package won't use it | 19:17 |

| DRebellion | bluebanana, you deleted the files. they are gone. do not pass go. do not collect £200. | 19:18 |
| IndyGunFreak | Waffles385: use terminal and root to delete the flash file from the firefox directory, thend ownload the source file at adobe.com honestly though, if you download the source file, it should overwrite the old version i think | 19:18 |
| keit1 | i have xp and ubuntu and they both operate at different resolutions and thus give me a whole lot of trouble with my monitor and screen positioning and size rotation etc.... is there an easy way to sort this out? | 19:18 |
| Waffles385 | IndyGunFreak, Alright, I was just wanting to make sure I had a clean install going | 19:19 |
| zcat[1] | IndyGunFreak: me too, for flash... I prefer packages for everything else, and I wish adobe would get with the program and version their files, leave the old ones up and just change the one the website points to.. | 19:19 |
| bluebanana | DRebellion: you are wrong, i believe. when I accidentally deleted files on Windows, I was able to recover them. | 19:19 |

| jake2point0 | DRebellion what about that other one.. cedega | 19:21 |
| four-o-four | Kadotus: some times deleting these files and replacing them with a usual one works(if you run it using live cd and copy the files) | 19:22 |
| rahmen | SpudDogg: Didn't work.. turned black after 12-13 mins or so | 19:22 |
| bluebanana | a regular ubuntu system is on EXT2/EXT3 or is it FAT/NFTS? | 19:22 |
| DRebellion | jake2point0, cedega is optimised for specific games (steam is likely) so it may run a bit better. it is worth looking at wine/cedega. | 19:22 |

| Peanut | gamma-k: no, but I don't usually use the 'switch user' thing, I just wanted to figure out what it does. | 20:38 |
| lusepuster | gamma-k, I think it is related to which virtual display is used. I'm afraid compiz isn't as mature in that respect as Metacity. | 20:38 |

| unop__ | juna, does that mean you can't use a CDRom at all? | 20:48 |
| helppp | what am i supposed to do? i cannot take it anyymore? | 20:48 |
| juna | unop__: yes excatly | 20:48 |
| Xman | Flannel: do you mean window with the screen? | 20:48 |
| Flannel | Xman: It allows you to be logged on multiple times, within the same SSH session. For example, I currently have six terminals open (and each one shows up on 'who') even though I'm only connected via ssh once. | 20:48 |
| Flannel | Xman: no, screen is a program | 20:48 |
| bastid_raZor | if this channel had a vote off option.. i would be voting mr suicide | 20:48 |
| Xman | Flannel: no they are just using a single one. | 20:49 |
| unop__ | juna, you can make a bootable USB drive -- provided your BIOS can boot USB devices -- and then chroot into the system and fix grub that way | 20:49 |
| juna | unop__: can you please explain me that ? i am a newbie. | 20:49 |
| lusepuster | gamma-k, They are called Window managers... because they manage your windows ;-) Metacity is the default for Gnome, KWin is the default for KDE. Compiz (and beryl but that's merged with compiz today) does the work when the desktop effects are switched on. KWin for KDE4 has a lot of desktop effects too, but it is not yet as stable as compiz - which in turn is less stable than metacity and KWin 3 | 20:49 |
| unop__ | juna, first make your USB bootable, then worry about the chroot - this might help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick | 20:50 |
| kdat | huy,also try open your speakers before you start you comp | 20:50 |
| steel_lady | erUSUL, i am not sure, looks like it calls it sdb o sdb1? and there is no such an entry in fstab | 20:50 |
| gamma-k | lusepuster: Ok, thanks. So there is an analogy :) I'm not going to change to KDE or any other at this point. Just curious and willing to learn. Learn fast. Impatience, you see. | 20:52 |
| helppp | bastid_razor:thnx... that was really helpful... | 20:52 |
| Xman | Flannel: any ideas dude | 20:52 |
| unop__ | juna, actually this looks better - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/25/usb-x-ubuntu-610/ (see the very last paragraph for instructions on windows) | 20:52 |
| lusepuster | gamma-k, impatience is my middle name :) But, I think at this point there is only two options: | 20:52 |
| DigitalNinja | Is anyone having trouble getting to Google? | 20:53 |
| lusepuster | gamma-k, switch off effects or live with the bug until the effect software matures. | 20:53 |
| gamma-k | lusepuster: I will do them both! | 20:53 |
| student106 | I am in group "sudo", and sudoers says "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" but still it asks passwords...? | 20:54 |
| helppp | i guess ill see you again ......... | 20:54 |
| juna | unop__: i have a problem. my pendrive is 256 mb | 20:54 |
| agares22 | hello everyone... i've got a little problem... i can't manage to get the adobe-flash-player-plugin installed on my Feisty Fawn (ubuntu 7.04)... i added the directories of mozilla's plugins in opera and copying the files but still doesn't work.... | 20:54 |
| agares22 | any ideas? | 20:55 |
| unop__ | juna, use damn small linux then - http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/01/02/all-in-one-usb-dsl/ | 20:55 |
| gamma-k | lusepuster: Thanks for your advice. Gotta go. Later! | 20:55 |

| agares22 | to install it on opera | 20:55 |
| agares22 | on 7.04 feisty | 20:55 |
| erUSUL | steel_lady: sdb is the disk sdb1 is the partition (the first) within the disk. The partition is what gets mounted (/dev/sdb1) | 20:55 |

| pfiori | having problem on boot | 21:02 |
| guestbuntu55 | !pm | 21:02 |
| ubotu | Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit AND help you. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude. | 21:02 |

| student106 | NOPASSWD just seems not to work for me in sodoers. What am I doing wrong? My sodoers is http://pastebin.com/m69e17b7 | 21:03 |
| * IndyGunFreak agrees w/ darkzero .. but i need Opera for a few things that FF can't do | 21:03 | |
| ike | OKAY - i have a lenovo x61 that is a tablet. there are a bunch of codes and things i need to do but i have nooooo clue how to do them. I barely installed ubuntu and I don't know how to install all my drivers... | 21:03 |
| aconbere | has anyone here found a pkg for ejabberd 2.0? | 21:03 |
| guestbuntu55 | ike: Sorry! I'll have to register my account before we can PM each other | 21:03 |
| steel_lady | oh, no erUSUL, since I unmounted and than put on tail to mount again, it appeared a message that it is mounting and it looked fine but later it disappeared and now it does not want to mount it | 21:03 |
| ike | oh ok | 21:03 |
| agares22 | darkzero: well...it's slower | 21:03 |
| aconbere | I've been building from source but it's a bit of a pain | 21:03 |
| agares22 | alot | 21:03 |
| agares22 | and i like to live fast | 21:04 |
| agares22 | ;) | 21:04 |
| ike | I AM VERY new to ubuntu - i do not know how to enable the code (a website gives me the codes) to make my things work... | 21:04 |
| rmiloh | not using opera -- what does it offer above ff right now? anyone? | 21:04 |
| darkzero | sure ff is slow but wait until ff 3.0 come out | 21:04 |
| darkzero | I test it out and it really fast | 21:04 |
| darkzero | faster than 2.0 | 21:04 |
| erUSUL | steel_lady: :| ouch! weird what is the error msg? | 21:04 |
| IndyGunFreak | rmiloh: my main thing, i have several tutorials saved as .mht files(basically like a snapshot of a website), FF cannot read .mhts.. | 21:04 |
| steel_lady | erUSUL, only that it can not mount the volume | 21:05 |

| darkzero | i see | 21:06 |
| Flannel | !cli | ike | 21:06 |
| ubotu | ike: 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 | 21:06 |
| ike | k, i have it opened | 21:07 |

| ike | well | 21:09 |

| kdat | ike, a general linux book i includes terminal learning tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/intro-linux.pdf | 21:10 |

| Lupe5 | IndyGunFreak: You mean "Root Terminal"? | 21:15 |
| IndyGunFreak | no, i mean do you have a terminal running, that is running sudo.. or are you doing system updates, etc. | 21:16 |
| astro76 | kkaefer_: then you have some problem with apt that perhaps someone else can help with ;) | 21:16 |
| darkzero | <nimbo>what process are you using? | 21:16 |
| ar0nic | does anyone suggest using envy for ati drivers? | 21:16 |

| astro76 | !envy | ar0nic | 21:16 |
| ubotu | ar0nic: envy is an unsupported tool to install newer versions of binary video drivers than provided by the official repositories. Use at your own risk, and remember that the latest version is not necessarily the "best". See « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 21:16 |
| kkaefer_ | java6-runtime is also there | 21:16 |
| darkzero | <nimbo>processer | 21:16 |

| zedster_ | uberpsyx: sorry I just know my hardware (laptop) googleing hasn't turned up anything? | 21:50 |
| uberpsyx | zedster_, nope, its turned up a couple of guides on how to manually install the official drivers and it all goes fine but still continues to use safe graphics mode | 21:51 |
| zedster_ | uberpsyx: and you changed the driver in the xorg.conf to "nv" or what ever your using? | 21:52 |

| Gatestone | unop__, is that a safe way? No /etc/hosts or anything need to be touched? | 22:38 |

| juice | meandmine: it's cool thnx 4 ur help | 23:18 |
| patrick_ | flannel thanks ill check it out | 23:19 |
| meandmine | juice: No problem. | 23:19 |
| Flannel | patrick_: I imagine it's similar to the Ubuntu wiki instructions, update the link, then update inframs | 23:19 |
| Flannel | tripps: what version of Ubuntu? | 23:19 |
| patrick_ | brb all | 23:19 |

| TheArthur | how can i copy 19000 files from one drive to another and KNOW for sure that all the files where coppied correctly? | 23:21 |
| TheArthur | rsync, cp, and tar have all faild | 23:21 |
| Flannel | tripps: that doesn't matter (just the version number). Yes, to use php you need mpm-prefork or mpm-itk | 23:21 |
| tseug | hello, i've recently upgraded to gutsy from feisty. now all the sudden, my computer is VERY SLOW, what can i do to fix this? | 23:22 |
| TheArthur | tseug, is it currently indexing your files with beagle? | 23:22 |
| soundray | TheArthur: how do you mean "failed"? | 23:23 |
| TheArthur | soundray, cp didnt copy 200 files, rsync failed on all files over 4Gb and tar refused to move files with strange character in the name | 23:23 |
| tseug | TheArthur, i do not understand "indexing files with beagle" | 23:24 |

| PietroB | hey can anyone help me with a acpi-battery problem? | 23:24 |
| noodlesgc | tseug not ntop i meant top | 23:24 |
| Flannel | tripps: this stems from the fact that php itself isn't thread safe, not a restriction Ubuntu has put on it | 23:24 |
| tripps | Flannel, right. | 23:24 |
| TheArthur | Think_Differentl, lsof | grep /media/cdrom/ | 23:25 |

| IDisnotScience | anybody want to help get a Zonet 1602 wireless pci adapter card (marvell) working? I have followed this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403139), and I am stuck at the iwconfig part: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61181/ | 23:49 |
| ubuntu2703 | thank you danny | 23:49 |
| unop_ | sveakex, yes, it's better you do that | 23:49 |
| meandmine | juice: Try acpi=no from the cd | 23:49 |
| sveakex | ok | 23:49 |
| stefanwifi | hi | 23:49 |
| lusepuster | does anyone have an idea what to do about notification-daemon being all dead? Notify-send doesn't react. And of I log in as my guest user, still nothing...? | 23:49 |
| stefanwifi | how do I activate metacity in GNOME (installed via Kubuntu) ? | 23:49 |
| cpurn | Hi Gurus, does anyone know if there is a package for day light saving 2008? | 23:50 |
| cpurn | I have tried looking but couldn't seem to find the 'right' package? | 23:50 |
| juice | meandmine: what is acpi anyway? | 23:50 |
| soundray | stefanwifi: if you log into gnome instead of KDE, metacity should run automatically | 23:50 |

| soundray | !info tzdata | cpurn | 23:51 |
| stefanwifi | soundray: no, unfortunatelly no :-( I installed gnome-core and gnome-...-environment | 23:51 |
| cpurn | soundray: thanks | 23:51 |
| cpurn | !info tzdata | 23:51 |
| unop_ | eshear, also, cat file | perl -nle '$average=($average+$_)/2; END{print "average is $average"}' | 23:51 |
| lusepuster | stefanwifi, metacity --replace should do the trick. | 23:51 |
| john_doe | I'm in trouble with X after having tried to update my nvidia driver. Now X doesn't seem to use the proprietary driver anymore. "nvidia-xconfig" doesn't affect this. how can I get on the right track again? | 23:52 |
| casper__ | stefanwifi, simply apt-get ubuntu-desktop if you can. | 23:52 |
| juice | meandmine: it added a new line to the EIP value thing. "switched to high resolution mode on CPU 0" | 23:52 |
| danny_ | can someone help me find the driver for the Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia | 23:52 |
| danny_ | sound driver?? | 23:52 |
| soundray | stefanwifi: just install the gnome-desktop | 23:52 |
| cpurn | soundray: bot dead? | 23:52 |
| soundray | stefanwifi: sorry, I mean 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop' | 23:52 |
| soundray | stefanwifi: then you can choose a gnome session at the kdm screen | 23:53 |
| lusepuster | soundray, why not aptitude? | 23:53 |
| unop_ | lusepuster, apt-get and aptitude are interchangeable -- atleast in the context of 'install' | 23:53 |
| lusepuster | soundray, aptitude handles dependencies better | 23:53 |
| stefanwifi | soundray: oh yeah, nice idea. but de.archive.ubuntu.com seems to be down (ip: 1.0.0.0) | 23:53 |
| soundray | cpurn: it's not responding to info requests for some reason. Anyway, the current tzdata package has version number 2008a-0ubuntu0.7.10 | 23:53 |
| juice | meandmine: BRB | 23:54 |
| soundray | lusepuster: no, it doesn't | 23:54 |
| lusepuster | unop_, IIRC, the dependency handling of aptitude cannot take care of stuff installed via apt-get... am I mistaken? | 23:54 |
| cpurn | !help tzdata | 23:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about help tzdata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:54 |
| cpurn | 23:54 | |
| cpurn | !info tzdata | 23:54 |
| soundray | lusepuster: you are indeed mistaken (or not up-to-date, as the case may be) | 23:54 |
| skarface | !tzdata | 23:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about tzdata - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:55 |
| lusepuster | soundray, sorry then - has apt-get gotten improved in tat respect or...? | 23:55 |
| soundray | Stop torturing the bot everyone. cpurn, did I not answer your question? | 23:55 |
| cpurn | soundray: ah sorry, I missed your reply! | 23:56 |
| bobishh_ | does anybody know how to make gnochm or xchm understand cp1251 encoding ? | 23:56 |
| unop_ | lusepuster, aptitude has a different dependency resolution algorithm that might fare better in some complex cases - so that might very well be true, but that doesnt mean aptitude is always better, it sometimes _might_ be | 23:56 |
| StevenX | can anyone help me get my sound working? | 23:56 |
| cpurn | soundray: sorry, is tzdata a package? | 23:57 |
| unop_ | lusepuster, i know ubuntu is working on improving apt-get and aptitude -- i wouldn't be surprised if they both use the same code base now | 23:57 |
| soundray | lusepuster: in any case, I'd prefer if you didn't publicly second-guess my advice | 23:57 |
| soundray | cpurn: yes | 23:57 |
| === andash_ is now known as andash | ||
| cpurn | soundray: ok, will check thanks. | 23:58 |
| anethema | casper__, worked like a hot damn thanks a lot | 23:58 |
| anethema | my hero | 23:58 |
| meandmine | juice: Sorry. Had to recommend scribus over ms publisher. ACPI is basically a way to control interfaces for hardware and wattage requirements for your chipset. Very basic description. | 23:58 |
| iamnoob | hey can anybody help me get sopcast working on ubuntu so i can watch live nhl games? | 23:58 |
| lusepuster | soundray, I asked you a question, I didn't say you were mistaken. | 23:58 |
| soundray | lusepuster: it amounts to the same, in the context that your question appeared. | 23:59 |
