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 |

rodrigth | Arthur: no longer using ubiquity? | 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 |

azexia2 | Belboz92: if you are not already =) | 00:16 |
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 |

azexia2 | Belboz92: ok, try doing that without the ir inserted | 00:17 |
tripps | azexia2, wilco thx | 00:17 |
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 |
azexia2 | tripps: np =) | 00:17 |
twointo1 | what causes squashfs errors when booting livecd? I can run it on my laptop, but not my desktop? | 00:18 |
Belboz92 | azexia2: thanks for trying, but that didn't work either :( | 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 |
guestbuntu55 | how do I install "ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run" | 00:33 |
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 |
earl | !hardy | 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: sudo: /home/christopher/ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run: command not found | 00:40 |
CMind | tonyyarusso: find out a place with a static ip or a configured dyn-dns and install your pptp or openvpn server there. then connect alice to it. You will have a both way connection through the univiersity network ;) | 00:40 |
jose__ | hola | 00:40 |
Pelo | Sylphid, mount same as anyother partiton sudo mount /dev/??? /mountpoint | 00:40 |
poseidon01 | Is there a program to tell you what kind of reutor your using judging from your wireless connection alone? | 00:40 |
guestbuntu55 | Pelo: sudo: /home/christopher/ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run: command not found | 00:41 |
CMind | tonyyarusso: some IDS / active firewall may flag that kind of traffic but, in my point of view, it's the way to go | 00:41 |
unop | CMind, it's easier if alice just connects to bob | 00:41 |
bmac_ | I'm having a problem with my resolution, can anyone help | 00:41 |
Pelo | guestbuntu55, type ls , that will list the fles , see if you can actualy see it in the folder | 00:41 |
Pelo | bmac_, state the problem | 00:41 |

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 |

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 |

masmota | ie: by default, deny all | 01:12 |

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 |

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 |

joanki | can anyone tell me how to get aim | 01:29 |
avgJoe | YeaSt, I'm trying to find the instructions at portforward.com, but to find the intructions I need to know the model of the ruetor | 01:29 |

j3kyll | please help me, dvd player won't work | 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 |

Jesse | brb guys | 01:30 |
Jesse | gonan give this a spin | 01:30 |
TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: arr, configure error, it stalls when it gets to ncurses, how do go about pasting terminal output | 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 |
=== xp_gne is now known as xp_gone |
who_ | CMind: but OS X has better (official) drivers for the card - Linux doesn't | 01:40 |
TheRealFaceOfBoe | nikrud: sensible enough | 01:41 |
who_ | Cmind: I just changed to none to test | 01:41 |
CMind | who_: true at some point | 01:41 |

Bugson | oki thx | 01:43 |
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 |
j3kyll | Bugson : okay so i got it to work, i've done this exact step before and it doesn't work | 01:43 |

Bugson | j3kyll and your sure u have that packages installed? check that in synaptic package manager | 01:44 |
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 |
j3kyll | c13paradox : how do you want to install? | 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 |
mutabi | *re-reads* hahah yeah sorry cabrioleur :-) | 01:47 |

tritium | MacTaylor: for what? | 01:51 |
c13paradox | it's a 100gb hard drive but i want to use 30gb for linux for now until i'm comfortable with it (like i said first time user) | 01:51 |
recurs|ve | i installed fine a month ago on a similar machine, now i am freezing o]many times | 01:51 |
c13paradox | and it's a thinkpad t61 | 01:51 |
cabrioleur | MacTaylor, yes, 200 golder rupees a month and 6 days of mandatory labor a week. | 01:51 |
EcoBlue | what do I upgrade | 01:52 |
j3kyll | c13paradox : it shouldn't be a problem (by the way im just started a while back, great system) . ill do a little reasearch really quick | 01:52 |
MacTaylor | for there Intellactal proper that ballmer claims we are using | 01:52 |
j3kyll | c13paradox : hold on | 01:52 |
niocholas_jones | does anyone know a program that would allow you to do...control + alt + 1 = copy_buffer_1 , control + alt + 2 = copy_buffer_2 and to paste them you do control + 1, control + 2 , or something similar? anyone? | 01:52 |
CMind | who_: http://oob.freeshell.org/nzwireless/LWAP-HOWTO.html | 01:52 |
mutabi | MacTaylor - when 'monkey-boy' Ballmer talks - feel free to go to the bar. | 01:52 |
tritium | MacTaylor: no, the opinion of many of the legal experts are that those claims are completely unfounded | 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 |
tim | do u know?? | 01:53 |
MacTaylor | ok thanks | 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 |
TheViLliN | what options do i need to use to search the repository's for a particular file within a package, ie apt- ???? file | 01:56 |
Flannel | !translate | bellkana_ | 01:56 |
ubotu | bellkana_: Translate Ubuntu into your own language, important translations that are needed are listed first. See https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ | 01:56 |

Itaku | when i go to prefs>remote desktop it doesnt open whats wrong with it and how do i fix it??? | 01:56 |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, I like free stuff :) | 01:56 |
EcoBlue | Bitmess: it's free | 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 |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, Like a beta or trial? | 01:57 |
zeeeee | ypwhich shows the right server hostname and ypcat passwd shows the list of users. any hints would be greatly appreciated. | 01:57 |
EcoBlue | Bitmess: free | 01:57 |
EcoBlue | Bitmess: full one when it's released | 01:57 |
tritium | cabrioleur: understood. Let's keep it at that, since it's relatively offtopic. :) | 01:57 |
ridge-meister | I used to be able to print fine with my MFC-220 printer using Open Office Spreadsheet on Ubuntu. I can still print with other programs, but not OOSpreadsheet. What can I check? | 01:58 |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, How do I get it free? | 01:58 |
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 |
EcoBlue | Bitmess: Internet Technology | 01:58 |
ridge-meister | When I run the print job the printer itself says that it is "receiving data", then nothing. | 01:58 |
Stroganoff | CMind: linux is minix based, lol ;) | 01:58 |
johan | hi, is there a way to disable eth0 so it will not show up in "ifconfig" ? | 01:59 |
Lokii- | Niriven, install amarok | 01:59 |
SpudDogg | Stroganoff: lol @ your name | 01:59 |
Lokii- | better then itunes | 01:59 |
cabrioleur | Minix? Sys V :_) | 01:59 |
Niriven | Lokii-: for an ipod touch? | 01:59 |
ridge-meister | cabrioleur: Where is the OO printer management tool located? | 01:59 |
Lokii- | oh | 01:59 |
TheViLliN | damn im a good cook lol | 01:59 |
Bitmess | CMind, I'm thinking of trying it in Virtualbox. | 01:59 |
SilverDawn | does anyone have mpd working with pulse audio | 01:59 |
Lokii- | gey your hardware dependant | 02:00 |
Itaku | when i go to prefs>remote desktop it doesnt open whats wrong with it and how do i fix it???????????????????? | 02:00 |
Lokii- | although there are os projects | 02:00 |
Lokii- | for example | 02:00 |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, Is this legal? | 02:00 |
EcoBlue | Bitmess: No idea | 02:00 |
cabrioleur | ridge-meister, I can't help you with this one, as I don't have ubuntu. | 02:00 |
Lokii- | EphPod | 02:00 |
Stroganoff | Itaku: open a terminal (alt+f2 -> xterm) and start "vino-properties" | 02:00 |
joanki | can anyone tell me how i can get aim? | 02:00 |
Lokii- | is 1 that springs to mind | 02:00 |
joanki | is it a part of the repository? | 02:00 |
Itaku | bash: vino-properties: command not foundT | 02:01 |
=== Solomani is now known as cens0red |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, I'll see if I can locate 2008 server | 02:01 |
Stroganoff | Itaku: type vino and press TAB | 02:01 |
EcoBlue | Bitmess: I don't think it is, I was kidding, but good luck finding it | 02:01 |
Stroganoff | twice | 02:01 |
cabrioleur | Niriven, only old iTunes works with wine. You might want to do it with gtkpod, rhythmbox or you favorite music player. | 02:01 |
CMind | Stroganoff: in 1973 it was all the same :P | 02:01 |
lusius | can someone please help me with a wine problem? | 02:01 |
Itaku | (vino-preferences:2992): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 | 02:01 |

JohnMM | wrong window, sorry | 02:02 |
Lokii- | jaonkii | 02:02 |
cabrioleur | Itaku, are you root? | 02:02 |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, I got a quote from CDW for it the other day. It wasn't free. I wanter 2003 AS but he could only sell 2008 and a downgrade. | 02:02 |
nikrud | charles__ what as it? I'll see the question again, and I _MUST_ be right ;) | 02:02 |
SpudDogg | joanki: why are you trying to run AIM? every try pidgin? | 02:02 |
Lokii- | install pidgin | 02:02 |
ejm | is there an ubuntu channel with a lot less traffic on it that I could use? | 02:02 |
charles__ | gnome-screensaver-command --poke | 02:02 |
lusius | im trying to run san andreas as root user with wine, but it gets some kind of segfault, works fine as normal user, but not as root.... what can the problem be? | 02:02 |
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 |
Itaku | (vino-preferences:2992): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0.0 how do i fix that? | 02:03 |
lusius | Stroganoff, my winecfg just returns a blank fucked up windows when calling it, root however works fine | 02:04 |
TheRealFaceOfBoe | :nikrud everything went smoothly, many thanks | 02:04 |
hidlan | cabrioleur do you mean the podcasting bit of itunes doesn't work with wine? when you say "only old iTunes works with wine" | 02:04 |
ridge-meister | cabrioleur: yet i can print from within mozilla firefox. | 02:04 |
ridge-meister | does OO suck? | 02:04 |
Bitmess | EcoBlue, they're ok, Mostly convenient for me. Prices as average or above. | 02:04 |
nikrud | TheRealFaceOfBoe yw | 02:04 |
oni | ok all i keep getting this error when i start my box up and its something like gnome deamon did not start | 02:04 |
lusius | Stroganoff, its a native install of san andreas from a windows machine, all the files are chowned to current user | 02:04 |
hidlan | I've never used Itunes even on Windows so I was just curious | 02:04 |
Stroganoff | lusius, have you installed wine with the ubuntu repos? | 02:05 |
Bugson | what soft is mounting pendrives, cds, dvds and so on? | 02:05 |
lusius | Stroganoff, yep | 02:05 |
Stroganoff | thats odd ^^ | 02:05 |
niocholas_jones | does anyone know a program that would allow you to do...control + alt + 1 = copy_buffer_1 , control + alt + 2 = copy_buffer_2 and to paste them you do control + 1, control + 2 , or something similar? anyone? | 02:05 |
ridge-meister | cabrioleur: and i just printed a test page using the printer tool in the Administration menu | 02:05 |
lusius | Stroganoff, odd? | 02:06 |
Stroganoff | strange | 02:06 |
oni | ok all i keep getting this error when i start my box up and its something like gnome deamon did not start can someone help me? | 02:06 |
hidlan | niocholas_jones you mean simila rto the way clippy used to work? | 02:06 |
fraroco | hello everybody, I was surfing over my firefox and I found a good podcast I like to lisent to ... but It is in .itms and the firefox does not know how to open. What can I do about it? | 02:06 |
niocholas_jones | hidlan, yea I think so | 02:06 |
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 |
niocholas_jones | I hope this works :) | 02:07 |
SpudDogg | fraroco: i think rhthymbox will play that | 02:07 |
niocholas_jones | thank youv ery much | 02:07 |
cabrioleur | ridge-meister, did you try to restart your computer? | 02:07 |
Flannel | fraroco: Try opening the file in a text editor, see if its actually another stream type in disguise | 02:07 |
recurs|ve | Stroganoff: where do i put noapic etc, after the --+ | 02:07 |
EcoBlue | cabrioleur: whadaya windows | 02:07 |
recurs|ve | --? | 02:07 |
ridge-meister | cabrioleur: numerous times. you don't work for Microsoft Tech Support, do you? ;) | 02:07 |
ChiBoy | some one please help me to copy image to SD card please someone | 02:07 |
Stroganoff | recurs|ve: it should be setable in the advanced options of the ubuntu install prompt | 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 |
ChiBoy | why wont any one help me | 02:08 |
ChiBoy | am i asking for something outragious? | 02:08 |
tsrchristopher | anyone have a recommendation for a cool system performance monitor? | 02:09 |
SpudDogg | ChiBoy: read the damn small linux install guides...i saw it in there a long time ago | 02:09 |
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 |
Lokii- | !copy | chiboy | 02:09 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about copy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:09 |
Lokii- | !cp | chiboy | 02:09 |
ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:09 |
SpudDogg | ChiBoy: actually, i assume you're trying to write an iso to a memory dongle? | 02:10 |
ChiBoy | Flannel as i was told i cant just copy | 02:10 |
ChiBoy | to sd | 02:10 |
tim | рриапва п вапв ыа | 02:10 |
ChiBoy | i know how to boot | 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 |
lusius | Stroganoff, isn't is just "chown lusius /home/lusius/.wine | 02:12 |

fourthdimension | does anyone know how to search within files for certain strings? | 02:23 |
niocholas_jones | Stroganoff, yea but you have to use your mouse a bit | 02:23 |
niocholas_jones | I really don't like that :/ | 02:23 |
fourthdimension | would I have to use perl? | 02:24 |
Lgndryhr | does anyone know how to get an iPod to mount properly in Gusty | 02:24 |
Stroganoff | niocholas_jones: i dont know about glipper, but data-manger has customizable hotkeys | 02:24 |
fourthdimension | or can I do it through the terminal? | 02:24 |
Meshezabeel | fourthdimension: fgrep? | 02:24 |
niocholas_jones | ah very nice | 02:24 |
Bitmess | fourthdimension, cat <filename> |grep <string> | 02:24 |
fourthdimension | would I type "fgrep <search phrase>"? | 02:24 |
nikrud | Lgndryhr the newer ipods (video, nano 3g) don't work properly with gutsy | 02:24 |
Stroganoff | niocholas_jones: glipper may have them too | 02:24 |
Lgndryhr | nikrud: i am using a 5th generation | 02:24 |
kiru | Lgndryhr: you can just use tools like amarok and banshee | 02:24 |
Meshezabeel | fourthdimension: man fgrep | 02:24 |
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 |
kiru | Lgndryhr: sorry, i dont know actually because i use only a 2nd gen ipod nano | 02:26 |

SilverDawn | man i feel like im hitting my head against a brick | 02:31 |

CMind | jester86: you can still find maxtor hd on the market I thought they were out of business... | 02:32 |
marupa_ | Is there any way to turn off middle-click paste systemwide? | 02:32 |
fourthdimension | I used grep and found what I need, but how do I find the files that those strings came from? | 02:32 |
jester86 | i just bought this one from office depo 2 days ago | 02:32 |
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 |
nikrud | TheViLliN note that the second command won't run if the first errors out | 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 |
brent113 | ridge-meister: have you looked at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-71098.html | 02:44 |
Lokii- | nice tab spaces the big button in the middle of your keyboard broken ? | 02:44 |
ridge-meister | brent113: just printed a test page with gedit | 02:44 |
ridge-meister | brent, nope...thanks...will look at it | 02:44 |
Agent_bob | well i'll try this from another angle, there is more than one way to skin a cat. | 02:45 |
Agent_bob | thanks anyway. | 02:45 |
xyyzzz | brent113, nikrud, Lokii-, I still get the same error... and when I tried "sh RealPlayerGOLD10.bin" it said: "cannot execute binary file" | 02:45 |
Broam | Evening all. No questions today :) | 02:45 |
xyyzzz | I wonder why it's doing this =/ | 02:45 |
nikrud | Lokii- I try to separate the commands clearly from surrounding text, some times I get confused ;) | 02:45 |
Lokii- | heh | 02:45 |
brent113 | xyzzz: so you definitely set the executable bit? | 02:45 |
earl | nikrud: they're not getting recognized at all now, where i put them | 02:46 |
Lokii- | xyyzzz are you sure its not a cd image bin/cue ? | 02:46 |
xyyzzz | brent113, yep. I tried it using "chmod a+x" and when that didn't work I also used "chmod 777"... | 02:46 |
jester86 | anyone know if windows will allow a fat32 partition 250gb? | 02:46 |
Lokii- | LoL | 02:46 |
xyyzzz | Loki--, nope, I've no idea. I just downloaded it from the real.com website. How would I find out? | 02:46 |
Lokii- | xyyzzz are you sure its not a cd image bin/cue ?hold up | 02:46 |
nikrud | earl very strange. I did the same thing with my fonts, worked, and has worked for years | 02:46 |
brent113 | xyyzzz: when you double click a bin with the executable set it will ask you if you want to run in terminal or display | 02:46 |
Lokii- | hold up ima grab it and have a looks here | 02:46 |

joeyjojo | its not working | 02:57 |
xyyzzz | Sorry I meant brent113... | 02:57 |

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 |
Lokii- | ;p | 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 |
ejm | atheros help needed! | 03:08 |
Silencedbear | Would someone be able to help me with a java issue if they have time please message me ty. | 03:08 |
nikrud | !ask | Silencedbear | 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 |
Lokii- | later xxyyzzz | 03:12 |
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. :-) | 03:12 |
Silencedbear | I asked already | 03:12 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, hehe yeah, im still here! | 03:12 |
Silencedbear | SCROLL | 03:12 |

Lokii- | ok | 03:14 |
astro76 | Silencedbear: did you install sun-java6-plugin ? | 03:14 |
Silencedbear | it says its installed | 03:14 |
Lokii- | mkdir /usr/java | 03:14 |
Silencedbear | for firefox yes i tried this | 03:14 |
Lokii- | cd /usr/java | 03:14 |
WindowSmasher | Anyone? | 03:14 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/gutsy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list && sudo apt-get update | 03:14 |

fa1sal | how to upgrade firefox ?? | 03:14 |
Silencedbear | can someone pm my please. to much going on at once in here | 03:14 |
brent113 | lokii: you should use the package in the repository instead | 03:14 |
nikrud | Silencedbear a sec, there's a package to uninstall that should fix it | 03:14 |
Scunizi | WindowSmasher, right click on the upper task bar and choose add to panel | 03:15 |
brent113 | fa1sal: download the firefox package you want from the site | 03:15 |
Lokii- | silenced bear canyou get my messages ? | 03:15 |
fa1sal | how | 03:15 |
ka2 | fa1sal: to what version? | 03:15 |
nikrud | Silencedbear first, sudo apt-get remove gcjwebplugin , then test your java | 03:15 |
Silencedbear | ok nikrud ty. i just installed yesterday and it updated and it made it not work | 03:15 |
fa1sal | 2.0.0.6 | 03:15 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, k done | 03:15 |
Scunizi | WindowSmasher, then add "Deskbar" .. that's the search tool | 03:15 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, sudo apt-get install wine | 03:15 |
ka2 | fa1sal: update manager | 03:16 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, it should install wine at version 0.9.58 watch out that it installs this very version | 03:16 |
fa1sal | ok ka2 | 03:16 |
Silencedbear | ok nick let my try now. | 03:16 |
WindowSmasher | Deskbar is a separate search tool. Is there no integrated search bar in the gnome-main-menu like on suse? | 03:16 |
fa1sal | thank you man | 03:16 |
Scunizi | WindowSmasher, yes there is.. Places.. Search for Files | 03:17 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, yup 0.9.58 | 03:17 |
Svenstaro | goodie | 03:17 |
Scunizi | WindowSmasher, top left of the screen | 03:17 |
Schmeiz | ugh i can't freakin open my CRT monitor | 03:17 |
Svenstaro | sstoveld, winecfg | 03:17 |
brent113 | schmeiz...you're opening a crt? | 03:18 |
WindowSmasher | Scunizi: This is what I'm asking about http://suseforums.net/index.php?showtopic=47042 | 03:18 |
Silencedbear | nikrud it still is the same thing. | 03:18 |
Scunizi | Schmeiz, careful.. there's capacitors in there that will throw you a few feet | 03:18 |
aubade | brent113: Famous last words, log 'em. | 03:18 |
brent113 | not the capacitors you're worried about. the ray tub is a giant capacitor | 03:18 |
nikrud | Silencedbear what version of java is the sun test site saying you have? | 03:18 |
Silencedbear | now it is asking to install java runtime envirotment. | 03:18 |
brent113 | charged at a few hundred thousand volts | 03:18 |
sstoveld | k | 03:18 |
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 |
Lokii- | !pastebin | 03:20 |
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) | 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 |
Schmeiz | nah, it was a couple years ago | 03:21 |
TaRDy | does any1 know what I can do if a command for tcl works on tcl cli first but not in my expect script? | 03:21 |
Lokii- | Silencedbear | 03:21 |
Schmeiz | and i had touched it before plugging it in, it had been off for about 5 years | 03:21 |
Lokii- | just do these simple steps | 03:21 |
Lokii- | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61092/ | 03:21 |
Scunizi | Schmeiz, it's amazing how long they will hold a charge | 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 |
brent113 | nclife: generally you can only use one at a time | 03:22 |
=== slaytani1 is now known as slaytanic |
Lokii- | nclife and brent113 are in same room ? | 03:22 |
sstoveld | Svenstaro, ok thanks a lot :) | 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 |
nikrud | Lokii- that is not particularly good advice for ubuntu. It has an interesting alternatives system for handling java in various forms, and the plugins. Besides, your instructions don't have anything about setting up the plugins for firefox | 03:23 |
Marupa_ | How do I check what USB hubs are using how much power on my system? | 03:23 |
nikrud | Silencedbear first four on the first tab? | 03:23 |
brent113 | nclife: ok, one second, I'm going to do some research | 03:23 |
brent113 | nclife: what modem is it? | 03:24 |
Silencedbear | yes than it has for server united staes | 03:24 |

captaingeek | it says / is 100% in use, but also contradicts itself in various ways | 03:40 |
foibles | is my fstab | 03:40 |
foibles | i can do it manually, but it never does it when i boot up | 03:40 |
foibles | its getting somewhat annoying | 03:40 |
foibles | to load everytime i log on | 03:40 |
artfullylost | captaingeek : Technically, your hard disk should never be full. Even partitions shouldn't ever be completely full. | 03:40 |
foibles | what commands would set it up to load auto just like everything else? | 03:40 |
prince_jammys | foibles: it should automount if the fstab entry is correct | 03:41 |
foibles | http://pastebin.com/m18dab21c | 03:41 |
artfullylost | So it sounds like something in the software, not hardware. Then again, it could be the hardware. :-\ | 03:41 |
brent113 | ridge-miester: hmm, I'm sorry then, I'm not sure what to do. I'd try searching the forums to see if anyone else has had that problem | 03:41 |
foibles | thats my fstab | 03:41 |
brent113 | kindofabuzz: not really, it's just something the designers put in to increase performance overall | 03:41 |
Lokii- | if its a drive that gets recognized after the kernal runs fstab | 03:41 |

Lokii- | and it'll mount all unmounted devices | 03:41 |

captaingeek | freaking ubotu... | 03:44 |
brent113 | then ask the question | 03:44 |
captaingeek | i did! | 03:44 |
brent113 | i must've missed it | 03:44 |
captaingeek | why is my hard drive stupid? "disk usage analyzer" says / is 100% full | 03:45 |
brent113 | well, delete some files then | 03:45 |
captaingeek | but the properties of "Filesystem" says 7.9gb of 53gb is used... ??? | 03:45 |
captaingeek | and i can't download openoffice | 03:45 |
Adanedhel728 | i had a weird problem with my harddrive, something sort of similar to that | 03:45 |
Adanedhel728 | it said my harddrive was full, but it wasn't even close | 03:45 |
foibles | prince_jammys, what do you think? | 03:46 |
captaingeek | then what did you do? | 03:46 |
Adanedhel728 | it basically said that my ubuntu files were taking up about 12 gig | 03:46 |
brent113 | captaingeek: what stats does disk usage analyzer say when you run it on "Filesystem" | 03:46 |
captaingeek | hold on | 03:46 |
Adanedhel728 | well, i'm not exactly sure, but i discovered that compiz-fusion's 3d windows were conflicting with my opengl screensaver | 03:46 |
brent113 | captaingeek: it will take a while to scan, I'll be patient | 03:46 |
Adanedhel728 | since 3d windows are kind of screwy anyway, that didn't surprise me | 03:47 |
Adanedhel728 | i turned off compiz-fusion temporarily to change my screensaver, changed it to blank screen, and suddenly ubuntu was taking up 6 gig again | 03:47 |
Adanedhel728 | or something like that | 03:47 |

Adanedhel728 | i have no idea if that will apply, so sorry if it doesn't | 03:47 |

murlidhar | Thanks i guess ubuntu-restricted-extras package will help me a lot | 04:44 |
tim | lanoxx, try envy | 04:44 |
tritium | !envy | tim, lanoxx | 04:44 |
ubotu | tim, lanoxx: 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 » | 04:44 |
lanoxx | tim:envy? | 04:44 |
lanoxx | !binarydriver | 04:45 |
ubotu | For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:45 |
Svenstaro | this channel totally hates envy :( | 04:45 |
lanoxx | haha | 04:45 |
tritium | Svenstaro: yes, with very good reason | 04:45 |
lanoxx | so does that mean the current driver from the reps does not support the fx5500? | 04:45 |
murlidhar | can Myth TV be also used as internet TV ??? | 04:46 |
Svenstaro | murlidhar, DVB-T you mean? | 04:46 |
tim | lanoxx, try googling :geforce fx5500 ubuntu | 04:46 |
tritium | lanoxx: it should. | 04:46 |
tritium | !nvidia | lanoxx | 04:46 |
ubotu | lanoxx: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 04:46 |

murlidhar | Svenstaro, no just internet streaming channels | 04:46 |
xb3rt | How does a usb sticks file system work when storing files from linux and windows on it? | 04:46 |
Svenstaro | murlidhar, with some clever scripting it can | 04:46 |
artfullylost | Ok, I accidently changed my home directory, so what would be the command in recovery mode to re-change it? | 04:47 |
murlidhar | Svenstaro, i don't have a cable connection | 04:47 |
xb3rt | Lol, do i have to set up two partitions on it | 04:47 |
murlidhar | Svenstaro, so do u any tv streaming software TV | 04:47 |
Svenstaro | xb3rt usb sticks usually use fat16 or fat32 which both linux and windows can access, afaik it does not know what permissions are | 04:47 |
Svenstaro | murlidhar, yes, I use firefox for that :) | 04:47 |
brandonc503 | is there a way to see what your video card is in ubuntu like dxdiag in windows? | 04:48 |

Bruno_ | Hi, could anyone help me with downloading the .svg ubuntu logo... i cant seem to do it... | 04:49 |
artfullylost | Is there a way to re-change my home directory from recovery, or from a live cd, so that it will load into my user account? | 04:49 |
cyntek | I downloaded a file and it's in ".chm" How can I view this file or open it ? | 04:49 |
cyntek | It's an e-book! | 04:49 |
tim | do u know? | 04:50 |
gagamel | Install chm viewer for .chm file. | 04:50 |
cyntek | Is that in the add/remove manager? | 04:50 |
Woxdee | cyntek: You can use either of xchm (for X in general), gnochm (for gnome, of course), or kchmviewer (for, you know, the other desktop system). | 04:50 |
lanoxx | Svenstaro: any tipps on how i get it running, i installed the drivers from the reps, and they broke my x, did a reboot and Xorg -configure..... | 04:50 |
tim | wtf it !!! says that Fedora 9 beta released featuring firefox 3.0 beta 5 | 04:50 |
tim | here is their release notes saying that Fedora 9 beta includes NOW firefox 3.0 beta 5 https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2008-March/msg00011.html | 04:51 |
Starnestommy | tim: this channel isn't #fedora | 04:51 |
tim | they are lying we must stop them !!! | 04:51 |
Svenstaro | lanoxx, you shouldnt install open source drivers from the reps, get the driver package from www.nvidia.com <quite> or use envy </envy> | 04:51 |
tim | firefox beta 5 is not released yet ! | 04:51 |
artfullylost | Anyone? | 04:51 |

Svenstaro | artfullylost, I still dont get it, you screwed up your home directory and wanna recover it using livecd? | 04:54 |
artfullylost | So, because my home directory is set to... well, a directory that doesn't exist.... it won't load. And I can't fix it, because it won't load. | 04:54 |
cyntek | This has become a nice transistion from windows to ubuntu linux. Now, i just have to learn it. | 04:54 |
Odd-rationale | I registered an account at http://www.dyndns.com/ but I'm not sure i know what to do with it. I'm reading about ddclient, ipcheck, and inadyn. Which do is use and can someone help walk me through setting it up? Thanks! | 04:54 |
murlidhar | Svenstaro, can miro player only stream video instead of downloading the video? | 04:54 |
artfullylost | Starnestommy: That will work? | 04:54 |
Svenstaro | artfullylost, I got you, okay hang on a sec | 04:54 |
artfullylost | Starnestommy: Do I do that into terminal off of the live cd, recovery mode....? | 04:55 |
Starnestommy | artfullylost: recovery mode | 04:55 |
Svenstaro | artfullylost, from the livecd, chroot into your actual installation and type "sudo usermod --home /new/gome YOURUSER" | 04:55 |
artfullylost | Ok, preciate it. | 04:55 |
Svenstaro | murlidhar, dont know bout that | 04:56 |

Lapinux | anyone here use gsambad, and if so how is it? | 04:57 |
brent113 | lapinux: no, but have you considered mounting it as cifs? | 04:57 |
Lapinux | brent113: i'm not sure what it is.... i can see all my other network machines from this one but the windows machines cant see my shares | 04:59 |
tarelerulz | any of you used q dvd author ? or any other dvd authoring programs ? That can convert .avi with xvid and mp3 audio ? | 04:59 |
lanoxx | any idea on why in firefox download window the links to open a file dont work? | 04:59 |
lanoxx | or open location of this file | 04:59 |
Lapinux | brent113: would it be suitable for this situation? | 04:59 |
brent113 | lapinux: oh I see what you're doing | 05:00 |
brent113 | yes I have used gsambad and I found it terrible actually | 05:00 |
Lapinux | oh.... | 05:00 |
brent113 | lapinux: I prefer the webmin module for that | 05:00 |
brent113 | lapinux: it's pretty much perfect and gives you a ton of options | 05:00 |
Lapinux | i was just curious, tonight is the first time i've seen any fronteneds for it | 05:00 |
=== artenius is now known as noble- |
=== noble- is now known as artenius |
Lapinux | brent113: i think it was swat? that i used before | 05:01 |
tarelerulz | Lapinux. frontend for what ? | 05:01 |
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 |
Daisuke_Ido | hmm... for some odd reason, i can't resize windows when using compiz | 05:04 |
xb3rt | Does anyone here use nmap very often? | 05:04 |
EcoBlue | N | 05:04 |
EcoBlue | o | 05:04 |
Lapinux | brent113: this is my personal desktop machine but i need 3 other machines to be able to acess the 1TB raid 5 array i have on it | 05:05 |
brent113 | Lapinux, it does everything, but you can turn off the modules you don't need | 05:05 |
artfullylost | Starnestommy: usermod -d /home/homedir/ username, right? | 05:05 |
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 |

bluebanana | I was working on a spreadsheet on docs.google.com. I decided to export it as ods, because google docs was not fast enough for me. I was working on this spreadsheet file in OpenOffice Calc for many hours. Then I clicked the save button.I closed Firefox (the browser I was using) and OpenOffice Calc. When Iopened Calc again, I went to File | Recent Documents |/tmp/myspreadsheet.ods, I get the error message saying:"/tmp/myspreadsheet.ods does not exi | 05:11 |

brandonc503 | how would i update my video card drivers in terminal? | 05:17 |
erat123 | lanoxx: have you tried using nvidia-settings it modifies your xorg file for you | 05:18 |
lanoxx | if you tell it the hostrange of you isps network, i think it should be possible, not sure if you isp would like that though | 05:18 |
tarelerulz | Do any of you know any good dvd authoring ? | 05:18 |
ChaosParser | xb3rt: Wireshark can as well.. but your ISP will probably be very upset with you. | 05:19 |
bluebanana | nickrud: no. how do i do that | 05:19 |
lanoxx | it tells me to run nvidia-config as root and restart the x server, i belive doing so would essentially kill my x config as you can see from the log file | 05:20 |
xb3rt | ChaosParser: Whats wrong with scanning it? If it help's im in school for network tech,.. | 05:20 |
nickrud | bluebanana copy and and paste sudo updatedb && locate <spreadsheetname> | 05:20 |
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 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 |

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 |

D|sToRt|oN | well thats wot i got from the Tut i followed | 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 |

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 |
Silencedbear | Yes | 05:38 |

taime1 | Couple Easy Questions: how do i restore my trash icon to my desktop and have it work properly? and is there some list that gnome uses to choose the icons it displays in menus, etc? | 05:39 |
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 |
tgelter | taimel: noted. thanks | 05:44 |
brent113 | haha this is so funny. I originally came to this channel for support, but I ended up in tech support. | 05:44 |
n2diy | ? | 05:44 |
Silencedbear | brent113, any suggestions ? | 05:44 |
nickrud | brent113 be careful, you'll get sucked in. That's how useful support people get co-oped | 05:44 |
brent113 | nickrud: i work 8hours a day at the OSU helpdesk,t hen I come here, hahaha | 05:45 |
Flannel | nickrud: shh, you don't tell them that so soon. | 05:45 |
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 | hi, how-to know with a command my WAN IP ? | 05:48 |
cpk1 | backtracker: ifconfig | 05:49 |
alan_m | cpk1, wow...good one, heh | 05:49 |
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 |
Zimbo | Thanks Flannel | 05:49 |
backtracker | cpk1: I connect to internet through a Router ZyXEL | 05:49 |
n2diy | Zimbo: GL, but be warned, updates tend to rearrainge things for some unknown reason. | 05:50 |
Lokii- | backtracker: www.moanmyip.com | 05:50 |
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 |
* Silencedbear says well i'lll mess with it tomorrow work soon thanks again nikrud :) and brent so far. | 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 |
lachlan_ | how do i login with my nick on freenode? | 05:55 |
brent113 | lachlan_: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup | 05:56 |
brandonc503 | brent113: will the manager allways get the correct info for driver? | 05:56 |
brent113 | brandonc503: It will use the most recent one it knows about, which at this time is the correct driver you want, so Yes | 05:57 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

brent113 | Lanoxx: well, for reference the command is sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 06:29 |

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 |

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 |

JDSBlueDevl | thx | 06:36 |
spinman | unfortunately the windows xp disk doesn't see my hard-drive | 06:36 |
brent113 | spinman: unfortunately that's not a linux problem, that's a problem with your bios and hardware | 06:36 |
helpfromu | brent113: ill try that | 06:37 |
brent113 | spinman: do you want to completely remove linux and install windows? or just dual-boot | 06:37 |
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 |
spinman | brent113 it had windows on it before | 06:38 |
damo22 | spinman: ide or sata hdd? | 06:39 |
spinman | uhm, not sure, anyway I can check without trying to open up my laptop? | 06:39 |
Lapinux | brent113: samba works, that was odd that it wanted to download and install again | 06:39 |
brent113 | spinman: I'll help you if you pm me, but that is not appropriate for this channel | 06:39 |
spinman | alright | 06:39 |
brent113 | Lapinux: well, that's good it works | 06:39 |
Lapinux | brent113: yes, this time it was easy, i remembered to add my pass via "smbpasswd" this time | 06:40 |
Lapinux | brent113: last time i was like what the heck, why will this not work | 06:40 |
brent113 | Lapinux: well I have good news, it only gets easier from here :) | 06:40 |
Lapinux | brent113: oh, i've done alot of this before, its just been a while | 06:40 |

=== ka2zzzz is now known as ka2u0 |
brandonc503 | so what is this x server and how do you close it? | 07:03 |
brent113 | Ayabara: nautilus is very fast, mounting it with cifs is a little bit faster though | 07:03 |
iltechie | brent113, ext2 ext3 do not get easily fragmented but believe that phenomena (fragmenting) holds true for any FS on earth | 07:03 |
DistroJockey | brent113: the list for the proper icon names (probably for theme development) | 07:03 |
Ayabara | brent113: I tried with nautilus yesterday. On the second file it said "failed, invalid argument", and that was it :-/ | 07:04 |
|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 | sure sure | 07:06 |
DistroJockey | :) | 07:06 |
Svenstaro | thanks for askin :) | 07:06 |
DistroJockey | *nods* :) | 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 |
iltechie | brent113, I saved people many times of their neglection defrgginMS systems, | 07:07 |
DistroJockey | Svenstaro: you helped him through a fair bit. No work | 07:07 |
|lilox| | hola | 07:07 |
DistroJockey | ^nice^ | 07:07 |

brent113 | iltechie: want to know somehting amusing? the maker of the ntfs filesystems, comminsioned by microsoft to executive software, makes diskeeper, the #1 defragger of windows | 07:08 |
iltechie | or not? | 07:08 |
brent113 | iltechie: coincedence? I think not | 07:08 |
|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 |

iltechie | By the time a file requests a new block, the space immediately after the file on disk may well have been allocated for some other file. At that point, a contiguous allocation will be impossible. | 07:16 |
j3kyll | alright, good idea ;) | 07:16 |

brent113 | sap: http://getdeb.net/app/Pidgin | 07:22 |
sap | brent113, I already installed the latest version. getdeb has an older one | 07:22 |
brent113 | o really? interesting | 07:23 |
shameless | but any ideas for the sixaxis on ubuntu? | 07:23 |
brent113 | it looks like 2.4.0 to me on both sites | 07:23 |
sap | brent113, yeah.. for fiesty its 2.2 | 07:23 |
brent113 | oh, feisty, I see | 07:23 |
sap | yeah | 07:23 |
brent113 | well, right click the menu, edit | 07:23 |
brent113 | you can add a custom launcher | 07:24 |
sap | but now there seem to be 2 versions on my comp and the applications menu seem to have a shortcut of the older version | 07:24 |
brent113 | sap: yes, use the menu editor | 07:24 |
Jangari | I'm trying to install oxygen xml editor, but it's coming up with a java error, apparently I don't have the latest version of java. How do I check which version I have? Also, the website says to check your PATH variable, can someone help me out on that? | 07:24 |
sap | brent113, so what do i type in the name , command and comment? | 07:24 |
brent113 | Jangari: are you sure the PATH car advice isn't referring to windows? | 07:24 |
brent113 | sap: right clikc the menu, edit | 07:25 |
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 |

gbates31 | has anyone successfully connected to their iphone using ubuntu? | 07:42 |

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 |
sap | sbingner, and my .deb would remove the old version ? | 07:48 |
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 |
sjovan_ | hey, for some strange reason opera wont work any more on stuff like youtube-videos og myspace-music. Any ide how to fix it? | 07:52 |
=== sjovan_ is now known as sjovan |
sap | k, another question about backup: So right now I'm runnin fiesty but would like to upgrade to 8.04 when it's out (a clean install) . What all places do i need to backup and what program shall I use for backup? | 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 |
ubotu | sap: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 07:55 |
Finnish | But I'm really happy here, my parents-in-law are no 100% Ubuntu-people, thanks to me. They were struggling with Win XP with their old machine | 07:55 |

a7p | hi everyone. Does anyone know how to run miro1.2 on hardy? | 07:55 |
illabled | hi distrojockey | 07:55 |
bazhang | illabled: what card is it? | 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 |
simtower | GEIS i meant /var/log/auth.log | 07:56 |
=== sayap_ikarus is now known as radja_langit |

=== radja_langit is now known as sayap_ikarus |
DistroJockey | simtower: ahh, cool, np, not used SSH :) | 07:57 |
sap | So will that dpkg thing create an archive of my currently installed packages or will it just create a list and download the new versions when I do a clean install? | 07:57 |
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 |
sap | lol yeah internet is necessary | 07:59 |
=== sayap_ikarus is now known as radja_langit |
GEIS | how do i clear /var/log/auth.log logs? | 07:59 |
sap | Svenstaro, and with that list in my hand I can do a manual install of those packages as well on the new distro-version ?? | 08:00 |
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 |
sap | Svenstaro, ok i got that :) | 08:01 |
Ruson | oh | 08:02 |
illabled | just trying to get some type of connection so I can update | 08:02 |

a7p | bazhang, thx | 08:02 |
bazhang | illabled: just a sec; that was the t30 thinkpad? | 08:03 |
DistroJockey | GEIS: well, I can't say what will happen when you delete it. And once it's gone, it's gone | 08:03 |
illabled | yep | 08:03 |
illabled | 2366 | 08:03 |
illabled | thx | 08:03 |
sap | Oh and i forgot to ask about the home folder backup : shall i create an archive of it or just put the whole folder onto a cd/dvd? | 08:03 |
simtower_ | anyone knows if ubuntu supports network roaming | 08:03 |
illabled | yes it does | 08:04 |
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 | 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 |

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 | 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 |
bazhang | illabled: what does ifconfig show in the terminal | 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 |
illabled | if i could cut and paste between these two machines i would | 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 |
illabled | shows eth0 and lo | 08:36 |
illabled | but when i hook it up to my LAN i get no connectivity | 08:36 |
vladtzu | I added the line '/dev/sdb1 /home/josh/data ntfs rw,user,exec' to my fstab in an attempt to mount the hard drive that has all my data on it, but after restarting /home/josh/data is empty | 08:36 |
illabled | cannot ping router | 08:36 |
bazhang | illabled: try plugging in a ethernet cable to the box and sudo dhclient eth0 | 08:36 |
illabled | cannot ping host | 08:36 |
voxluna | is there any password for root? or must everything be done with sudo? | 08:36 |
kmanrox | im trying to add a new user, whats the command? i just tried the sudoś you recommended | 08:36 |
illabled | ok i'll try that | 08:36 |
bazhang | voxluna: no root by defualt in ubuntu; use sudo | 08:37 |
dgjones | !sudo | voxluna | 08:37 |
ubotu | voxluna: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. | 08:37 |
[[thufir]] | for java development, install the sun jdk? | 08:37 |
pat5star | jdk = java developers kit | 08:37 |
ogre | Lokii-: this nick isnt regged | 08:38 |
pat5star | so, yes | 08:38 |
kmanrox | adduser command doesnt work like it does in normal *nix | 08:38 |
prince_jammys | vladtzu: try mounting it now with: mount /home/josh/data | 08:38 |
ogre | oops | 08:38 |
kmanrox | how to add new users? GUI doesnt allow either for some reason | 08:38 |
[[thufir]] | pat5star: are there other java things which should be uninstalled first? | 08:38 |
pat5star | useradd? | 08:38 |
kmanrox | thx pat.. plying with that now :) | 08:38 |
voxluna | grr I should not have installed the ubuntu-studio, its kernel is fuxored and it added a LOT of apps | 08:39 |
vladtzu | prince_jammys josh@niggajim:~$ sudo mount /home/josh/data | 08:39 |

vladtzu | Failed to mount '/dev/sdb1': Invalid argument | 08:39 |
vladtzu | The device '/dev/sdb1' doesn't have a valid NTFS. | 08:39 |
vladtzu | Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a | 08:39 |
vladtzu | partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? | 08:39 |
FloodBot2 | vladtzu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. | 08:39 |
vladtzu | josh@niggajim:~$ | 08:39 |
prince_jammys | vladtzu: are you sure it's sdb1? check with sudo fdisk -l | 08:39 |
pat5star | jdk is the basic thing you need for straight java programming, it contains javac for compiling and the basic libraries. eventually you'll want other things like ant, and java servers like tomcat | 08:40 |
voxluna | niggajim... surely not. | 08:40 |

deebo | (dont install any java tools from packages, they suck, some r-tard has made the packages :P) | 08:40 |
pat5star | ant being similar to cvs | 08:40 |
illabled | ok the result seems to be 'bound to 192.168,2,2 - - renewal in 1523 secnds that seems to be mysubnet it reached | 08:40 |
deebo | .. umm | 08:40 |
pat5star | oops, not cvs, i meant make | 08:40 |
deebo | ant is similiar to make :) | 08:40 |
illabled | but i can't get online or updatet | 08:41 |
[[thufir]] | my concern with installing java is getting the JAVA_HOME environment variable configured correctly (for a ruby gem) is there a special trick? aside from editing .bashrc | 08:41 |
bazhang | illabled: now try to browse or ping | 08:41 |
knightWse | morning everyone | 08:41 |
vallhalla81 | knightWse: morning | 08:41 |
pat5star | just set it by doing export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/your/jdk | 08:41 |
[[thufir]] | deebo: what are you talking about? would you elaborate? | 08:41 |
illabled | damn !! | 08:41 |
[[thufir]] | pat5star: ok | 08:41 |
bazhang | illabled at least we know you dont need drivers; the rest will be much easier | 08:42 |
illabled | it is working now!! | 08:42 |
deebo | [[thufir]]: regarding? | 08:42 |
illabled | ping anyways | 08:42 |
[[thufir]] | deebo: (dont install any java tools from packages, they suck, some r-tard has made the packages :P) | 08:42 |
sjovan | hey, any of you know what the opera plugin-path chould be? | 08:42 |
illabled | i am probably going to feel stupid... | 08:42 |
deebo | yes, you can install jdk from packages, but dont install anything else from packages, youll just run into troubles | 08:42 |
kmanrox | ok, i added new user.. but i cannot edit it via the GUI. perhaps because im just a úser as well? and not root? should i relogin as root? | 08:42 |
deebo | the packages are shit to put it simple | 08:42 |
bazhang | illabled: dont think about it; just have to get online | 08:43 |
DistroJockey | vladtzu: you tried?: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /home/josh/data | 08:43 |
jussi01 | !ohmy | deebo | 08:43 |
ubotu | deebo: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 08:43 |
bazhang | deebo stop with the language | 08:43 |
pat5star | the jdk package I find ok, but tomcat I prefer to install myself | 08:43 |
[[thufir]] | netbeans? | 08:43 |
amorphous | I'm wanting to set up a server to use as a central storage place for files from various locations around town. Is samba the best thing to use? (some of them will be windows boxs :( | 08:43 |
pat5star | kmanrox: yes | 08:43 |
deebo | yes the jdk's are fine, just aslong as you remove GCJ etc first | 08:43 |
deebo | and update-alternatives | 08:43 |
deebo | but tomcat, eclipse, etc packages are bad for your mental health | 08:44 |
illabled | okay it's online now... | 08:44 |
=== SdobSiSdub is now known as KeepYourMind |
[[thufir]] | aha! | 08:44 |
bazhang | illabled: it works? | 08:44 |
kmanrox | pat5star: would it behoove me to just run my account as root, and not the user i setup with install? | 08:44 |
illabled | i must have made some silly error before | 08:44 |
pat5star | deebo is right, i don't use GCJ, suns is better if you agree to their license that demands your first born child :P | 08:44 |
[[thufir]] | aside from removing GCJ, what else should I remove? | 08:44 |
vladtzu | DistroJockey Yes I did. But I tried the exact same thing to another folder I made and it worked for some reason. o.O | 08:44 |
illabled | yep | 08:44 |
dns53 | well icetea is there | 08:44 |
illabled | online now | 08:44 |
bazhang | congrats illabled ;] | 08:44 |
DistroJockey | vladtzu: hmm | 08:45 |
pat5star | kmanrox: I would be going against all linux principals if I said yes, lol! Use sudo to make the changes you need, or temp login as root, do what you need, then exit back to regular user | 08:45 |
illabled | mebbe i had a bad plug earlier - or i just didn't know whati was doing, lol | 08:45 |
illabled | :) | 08:45 |
kmanrox | pat5star: i feel ya. thx :) | 08:45 |
vladtzu | DistroJockey Having it mounted to this folder is just fine with me, and I'm a little too tired to try adn figure out why right now XD But, what should I add to my fstab to make it do that automatically for now on? | 08:45 |
kmanrox | youŕe a rockstar | 08:45 |
bazhang | illabled: time to get some updates ;] | 08:45 |
illabled | thanks everyone!! | 08:45 |
DistroJockey | vladtzu: you created /home/josh/data first? | 08:45 |
illabled | indeed | 08:45 |
vladtzu | DistroJockey Yep | 08:46 |
bazhang | no worries illabled ;] | 08:46 |
illabled | get my ultranav working! | 08:46 |
perfector | does any1 know of a good openbox menu editor gui? | 08:46 |
deebo | hey any release date for 8.04 TLS | 08:46 |
voxluna | aha, finally. | 08:46 |
prince_jammys | vladtzu: that error message is strange. the fstab line looks fine. you could try changing ntfs to ntfs-3g | 08:47 |
DistroJockey | vladtzu: ahh, k. Sorry, fstab is not something I have looked into much, so hopefully someone else can help there. | 08:47 |
bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for that deebo | 08:47 |
prince_jammys | vladtzu: you could also try changing the mount options to "defaults", just to test what's going on | 08:47 |
vladtzu | prince_jammys Aye sir, I'll try that | 08:47 |
kmanrox | pat5star: its not accepting my password, altho i can sudo from my úser'account ... but not straight up login as ubuntu username ŕoot' | 08:48 |
voxluna | when I've got a dual boot system and I see my other NTFS partitions, I can read them but... is it safe now to write to them? | 08:48 |
=== ABF|away is now known as Viele-baeren |
illabled | okay more questions now | 08:48 |
vladtzu | I got a feeling this is one of those "the problem lies between the keyboard and the chair" sorta things. I waited till I'm about to crash to mess with this. haha | 08:48 |
pat5star | kmanrox: sudo su | 08:48 |
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

=== 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |
tristano | pat5star, inet addr: 1.237.49.x bcast: 1.237.55.255 mask: 255.255.248.0 | 10:04 |
zoidberg_ | hey guys is there a nice Adobe Illustrator like application for ubunut....i'm looking for something that I can draw diagrams with... | 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 |
dinamizador | spain | 10:05 |
pat5star | tristano: that ip address isn't exactly right, the inet address is what we need | 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 |
ai3gtmc | thx | 10:09 |
Chris| | in openbox how do i get fbpanel to start automaticly? | 10:09 |
HSorgYves | unop: -rwsr-x--- 1 root www-data <-- root is the user and www-data is the group isn't it? | 10:09 |
cens0red | why does this animal have fangs? http://www.flickr.com/photos/pengo-au/52381420/ | 10:09 |
unop | danand, no if all he wants it to install xchat | 10:09 |
ai3gtmc | make | 10:09 |
